Late Report Says
Conditions Favorable
for Potato Crop
Excellent condition of winter wheat
and rye, improvement in oats, pros-'
pects of pome fru s?i:htly decreased
acreages in home of the staple crops,
more tame r-rass pasture and summer
fallow, and highly favorable soil con
ditions, are leading features of the
latest weekly crop report of the No
brn"t burcnu of crop estimates.
Winter wheat acreage was reduced
two per cent but the condition is re
ported to be fine, and very little, if
an J, abandonment is expected. Spring
wf .iat acreage will be the same as
last year which was about the usual
pre-war acreage. Most of the other
Fpritig grain crops are up . Oats are
improved and a slightly increased
acreage is expected.
Preparation of ground for corn con
tinues and a slightly decreased acre
age is planned. Tame hay acreage is
now large enough to meet all demands
for hay, but the seeding of some tame
grasses for pastures is planned. The
seeding of sweet clover for pasture
and and as a soil builder is increasing.
Conditions are reported favorable
for potatoes. The earliest planted
potatoes soon will be up, but in west
ern Nebraska the planting will be con
tinued for another month. Last year's
acreage was unusually smalr and a
slight increase is expected this year.
Early blooming treet fruits like
peaches, pears, apricots prd plums are
reported to be nearly a failure, but A.
E. Anderson, agricultural statistician
reports there are prospects for tome
cherries. Apples that blossomed early
Eromise little fruit but the later
looming varieties range from poor to
a fair crop. The vitality of fruit buds
was very high this year, due to the
light crop last year, and the favorable
season last summer and autumn and
for this reason were in better condi
tion to withstand" the freezing temper
atures this spring. The last period of
cool weather dul some damage to small
fruits, especially grapes.

Then, piirKsefully he udvHiu-ed und

an, after one stnrtu'd Klam-e, caught
the gray chiffon which draped her
iminll hut and drew It like n curtain
across her face; the limn laughed
shortly.
"Would you deprive me even the
pleasure of viewing your feature.
Mnrgo?" he nskVd, "or Is It that you
would hide something there from
nie?"
"Wh.it." the woman answered In
differently, "lave I to hide?"
The mini leaned back regarding her
averted face.
"Your true affection for n.e, per
haps," lie s:d'.
She turned upon him then, n small
fury, tl.e gray of her eyes darkening
beneatli 'heir darker lasb.es.
"You have no rl'lit," she retorted,
"to Kpciik to me like that. Did you
dare to follow nie here?"
The limn still smiled.
"I did," he admitted.
"I promised," lie reminded, "not to
i'ort to the question of love. Yes,
I believe that you did love me. Mar
got, years ago. while I huve never
ceased to love you.
"Now," he said breathlessly, "let

"So many uiiIm amble reasons! Ills

The man straightened. She hmphed
mirthlessly. "Thif (fill, n cpieer, bobbed

The new ami inexperienced one was
evidently learniiitr to operate the type

ion to he so kindly helpful. When
I inquired eoiieerniniC her, I re
member that he was evasive, and un
comfoitiihly embarrassed. I met
them one evening several weeks later
as they were walking ' In a cub
urhan district. They did not wee me
an I drove the enr. My husband had
telephoned that an ciiKUKemont would
keep him from retiirtiliiK home to din

him, and he Is unaware that 1 wit

"Now," she asked her listener, "are
you fcatMied? I have told you all."
The man considered.
"Margot," he asked gently, "do you
love your husband?"
"And If I love him or not," she said
wearily, "what In that to you?"
Tensely he leaned forward grasping
her hands.
"It Is everything to me," he said.
"If you ran forjiet those old sweet
heart dayH, I eannot. We pledged
c urselves .to each other then, and 1
have never altered. Today I urn ready
to offer anew the old love, the old al
leKlnnee." rneone!ously the woman's Angers
tightened In bis own, through tear
(illed eyes she looked bravely at him.
"Hut there would first have to be
perfect trust," the uuin said, "erfect
eoulideiice. There is no other founda
tion for lasting happiness. Our hap
piness must be lnstfng, Murgot."
From j his shoulder, presently, the
woman lifted her radiant face.
"I barest," she said, "I huve been
trying hard to tight this thing out,
while always my heurt called for you.
And now, of course, theiv can be uo
separation between us, you will ex
plain, perhaps, about that bohbed
haiied girl?''
The man, who was Margot's hus
biiiid, looked down upon her with shin
hi;; eyes. "That was old Wellington's
daughter," he answered slowly, "the
man who absconded recently with part
of the company's funds. The girl
lives with her mother. They urt as
honorable as unfortunate, und togeth
er, conceived the Idea of working out
in a measure the father's debt. It
v. as the only way that they could hope
to repay. So we agreed trying to
help the girl at the same time by giv
ing ber Instructions. As my helper,
the lot was assigned to me. The night
you met us her mother had sent for
me to make mi offering of gratitude.
I could not refuse to go. She wished
my advice, MHrgot, in a gift for you,
u choice of certain beautiful tapes
tries. The gill had asked that her
Identity be kept secret from everyone,
they felt so utterly disgraced, these
two. And, Murgot did you never think
that my disapproving manner may
have been a reflection of your cold
suspicious one? We are ofteu mir
rors, my dear."
,Then,,, suld the little woman In
gray-as she clasKd her husband's
nrm, "we shall try hereafter to see In
our mirrors the reflection of happi
ness only, und perfect trust."
