WNTJ Service THE STORY Linda Haverhill's father, dies when she is seventeen, leaving her to face the world with little money or prospects. Her sole possessions are some worthless stock certificates which her fathers friend, Senator Converse, agrees to dispose of. She instinctively dislikes the senator. Linda becomes engaged ll, to Courtney Roth. CHAPTER II Continued Pearls like these are a passport anywhere, Amy RalstoD said. Then she made a curious remark, slightly humorous, slightly vulgar, and intensely prophetic tf she had known. "With your looks and those pearls po one would ever dare hand you a bill, Linda. " Bills! They both smiled. It was so unlikely that' Linda would ever again be troubled with bills The wedding was the smallest, Lindas affair imaginable. - looks made it unique. Her proud face seen on the society page of the right paper said that small sudden weddings were the only sort to have. The bridegroom was a proud and happy man. He was a true product of the fevered .times, and there were features to this wedding which nobody knew about and which gave him new thrills of irresponsibility." made Twenty-fou- r changes in many a love affair. Linda was married on Tuesday, . and by Wednesday night she was wondering why she had never noticed that Roths manners were not ail that they should "tie and that he was more than bad tempered. , Meals should have been served by a genie, and no service ever pleased, Really, If it was going to be like this Linda shrugged ? her beautiful white shoulders. They were in Boston and she was surprised to find herself at a hotel whose name meant nothing to her, and she had been in Boston many times. I thought anything would do for the few hours we will be here, her The new husband said hurriedly. big places are always full at this season and we dont want a fuss, do we? You could have telegraphed for rooms, she protested, puzzled. Roth began to pace the floor nervously. His color was high and the Impatience she was beginning to know came Into his eyes. Now look here, Linda. ' Theyve kept you in cotton wool too long. I wanted you because youre different from other women. Youve got an air that makes everything you do seem hotel right. Even this second-rat- e would seem smart if you made a habit of coming here. Linda was bewildered. She knew he was trying to tell her something without committing himself, but she bould not guess what it was. She felt annoyed and a little cheated. But when there Is no reason for second-rat- e hotels? she murmured. ' He flushed a deeper crimson and screwed up his eyes in a way she particularly disliked. . Reason?. Theres jolly well reaHe clapped his hands sons enough n his tockets with an odd boyish gesture that touched her through her bewilderment and dawning fear. It reminded her of Jim Haverhill. Then he grinned at her sheepishly. Fact Is, dearest, Im stony. Oh, I know youre shocked, but youll get used to shocks. Its rather a lark. If you look at It from the right angle. Married to a beautiful, luxurious creature and hardly a bean In your pocket. Gad, It makes a fellow sit up. , Linda, dont look like that! Why Why did you marry me? ' didnt you tell me? . "Why do you think Im r a cad? Leavfe you sitting on the church stoop? Id say not. Besides, I didnt plan it. I cabled for money and expected plenty, but the old wire .came back like a knock behind your ear. No more money. Id spent it all.

Why, you are Just an adventurer! she cried scornfully. Perhaps, he shrugged, but not I am afraid, my dear, you bourgeois. have more to learn than I thought, You havent found out that its not what you are but what people think you are that counts. All clever persons know that, or theyre not fit to meet the world. This - was all oddly familiar.. Talk she had heard before ; talk in a dream. She sat still, pressing her fingertips against her pale lips thinking of what she should do Of course, she could leave Roth, but she rejected this thought as it came to her. She was not an adventuress if he was, and aside from that It was impossible to admit to her friends and to Cousin Amy that she had been a fool In spite of her attitude of cleverness. She thought of Senator Converse and the sureness of what he would say, and In this thought made her shudder. some indefinable way she seemed to be closer to him now than before her marriage. He was so close that she could touch his hand. Something within her warned that one mistake now, ono more error, and she would not escape from him as she had In the past Of course she had not been blinded to the fact that he admired her, that he would have paid any price for her. Cousin Amy's world had not left her In ignorance of that. Roth felt sorry for her, though he was far from reading her thoughts. She was so lovely and childish with that droop to her lips. He took her In his arms and kissed her tenderly. Dont fret, dear. When you worry you let people behind the scenes, and youve got to watch out for that Its a wonderful game, once you learn how to play, and youll find a lot of clever, amusing people playing it with us. Let the duds with the bank accounts pay the bills while we amuse em, eh? Its a profession in itself, making the other fellow pay and teaching him - to like It."

Irrigation district in western Nebraska. Marketing dressed turkeys in car lots, says D. H. Fropps, of the bureau of agricultural economics In the Yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture, is one of the most practical of marketing projects. The growers In a county or disMr. Eropps explains, detertrict, mines approximately the number of turkeys available for sale. Representatives of the growers got In touch with prospective buyers and receive from them seated bids which are opened at a stated time. The entire number is then sold to the highest bidder, who then fixes the dates on which he wishes the dressed birds to be delivered. The farmers dress the turkeys the day before delivery and coo! them overnight on the farms. The birds are weighed, graded and paid for as they are delivered. The purchaser bears all expenses and as sumes all responsibility after the birds are received." Turkey growers realize from 50 cents to $1 for the labor of dressing. This represents from IS to 20 per cent of the value of the turkey, and is fully three fifths as much hs the entire feed cost of raising and fattening the birds in the North l'latte district. In 1927 the growers sold nearly 25.000 birds, and netted about $18,000 for the work of dressing. At turkey dressing time neighbors often change work, and if one grower is inexperienced he can usually get a neighbor to show him the best method of dressing the birds. Farm dressing is usually better done than in commercial establishments and buyers consider this when bidding for the turkey crop. The fact that No, Linda, I Know All About You.
