You ought to have some body to take care of you, a maid at least." “I can't afford anything bigger. I don’t want a maid." “Things could be arranged. You could borrow." “I wouldn’t do that.’’ Mrs. Twining frown ?d. “That Elmford conscience!" Barbara laughed. “But I got other things from Elmford. I learned how to cook and make beds and sweep up and dust. I can take care of myself.” “It’s barbarous,” Mrs. Twin ing sighed. “It’s luxury,” Barbara said, “compared with the way I’ve been living. Will you come and let me cook lunch for you some day?" “Oh, yes, I’ll come, my dear. Let me know when you’re—’’ She broke off, and Barbara braced herself at a flat laugh from the hail. The door was flung back, and Esther Helder floated across the threshold. “Here’s luck, Gray! I’ve caught two birds." Gray followed her, grum bling. “Hope we re not crashing.” “Certainly not, Gray." He 3aw Barbara. “Hello, Steve. How do, Miss Norcross.” He wouldn’t look at her, but she looked at him and from his flushed, sullen face realized how completely she had of fended him, how thoroughly she had transformed his love to resentful dislike. She was In the same room with him at last, but hi3 manner took him further away than he had ever been He wa3 as coldly remote, Indeed, as he had been warmly close that night of selfless passion in her room. That said enough for Bar bara. She didn’t need Esther to add anything. Her nerves tightened more and more but she couldn’t brace herself enough. Mrs. Twining mo tioned Esther and Gray to chairs. i “Tea, children!” Esther’s laugh came flatly again. “No chance. I’ve already ab sorbed enough to grow a pig tail. Anyway, ambrosia’s more our cocktail. Gray and I’ve been flitting from one family fireside to another craving and receiving blessings.” No. As far as Barbara was concerned Esther needn’t have troubled to say that. She had known from the moment she had seen Gray come in and draw himself as far away from her as he could go. She was aware of the veiled re gard of Mrs, Twining and Steve. They knew, and doubt less they guessed, as she guessed that Esther hadn’t been sorry to have her witness the success of her stalking. Barbara felt her nerves relax. Mrs. Twining and Steve needn’t worry. She wouldn’t give anything away before Esther. She took a hard satis faction in the knowledge that she was Esther’s rival to that extent; and their rivalry wasn’t all in the past. “I’ll get him away from her,” Barbara said to herself. “It’s my fault, and I won’t let her have him, I won't let her spoil his life.” Dimly she heard Mrs Twin ing and Steve laughing emp tily. congratulating formally. Then Gray’s heavy voice crowded her ears. “I didn’t know she was go ing to spring it on the whole neighborhood first shot out of the box.” But Barbara knew that ALFALFA VS, CLOVER Clover was once the farmer’s leading legume crop. In the past twenty or more years, It has been on the decline and alfalfa is grad ually taking its place. There are at least two reasons why this change is taking place. Considerable clover Is still sown but much of the seed Is wasted because the lands are depleted of certain elements es sential to its growth. Clover does best on a sweet soil well supplied with organic matter and rich in phosphorus and potash. Of course, alfalfa likewise enjoys a sweet soil and needs phosphorus and potash, but it does have__tUs faculty., of 17 I Esther would, to hold Gray tighter, as tight as she could hold him. Could she hold him tight enough? She stood up, and murmured: \ “May I offer happiness?” She said it to Gray, and she meant it. She was going to give him happiness if she could. Esther thanked her. Gray said nothing. He was too far away. ' Steve limped to Barbara’s side. . “Going? So am I. I’ll drop you.” ; Barbara stooped and kissed ‘Mrs. Twining. The old lady whispered in her ear: | “Be careful, my child. Be careful. I know what’s in your heart.” ' As she went out with Steve she heard Esther’s flat voice. “May I have some parti cularly strong ambrosia?” Gray laughed loudly. His gruff voice had a touch of bravado. ; “Make it two.” i In the cab Steve put his arm around Barbara. “That’s done. All the better. Now we know where we stand.” Barbara shrugged her shoulders. • “You mean where I stand. Yes, I know.” Steve tried to stop her shaking and couldn’t. “You must get unsound ! thoughts, Barbara. There’s danger in this situation for you. Watch where you’re go ing.” “Why, when I only want to go one place. I’m going, I don’t care how much danger there is.” • He held her closer, trying to stop her nervous shaking. • “Barbara! Get hold of your self. Remember you have to' act tonight.” Her laugh touched hysteria. “Certainly; and not only to night, and not only for Mr. Hackey.” CHAPTER VII i Rulon studied Barbara in terestedly after the perform ance. “What’s happened? The whole thing went better. You had just the touch of nervous energy, the sense of strain the part needs.” She heard as in a dream; and as in a dream she saw Rulon only dimly; but Gray was vivid in her mind as she struggled to find a way to bring him back from his far place. Rulon tapped her arm; his interest grew and clouded. “Has anything gone wrong, Barbara? Has Masters, per haps, been upsetting you?” She got hold of herself and smiled at him. “No. Charles. Didn’t I tell you there was nothing in that? I’m just worn out.” He was only partly con vinced. “Whatever the cause, you gave a better performance to night.” Hackey, when he came back agreed. “I guess that’s the reason I haven’t changed my mind. Ready to put your mark on that song and dance I wrote i for you?” “Yes, Mr. Hackey.” “My Gad, Charles, the Ve nus de Hackey’s got more than rock in her head after , all. Enter Rulon’s lordly clos et, beautiful, and let’s get it over with.” * They went to the star’s large dressing room, and his servant arranged a table and chairs for them. Hackey took i the contracts from his ; pocket. “Though we might need standing drouth better than clover. | Last year it was dry in sections like j Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, ! and Iowa and clover has not stood this drouth as well as alfalfa. Re- j ports generally are to the effect ' that with the late summer rains and a mild fall, alfalfa has become a reasonably good stand, but much of the clover did not survive the dry weather. Clover is passing be cause it will not yield as much nu trients per acre and does not live as long. Alfalfa may last for several years, while clover is but a biennial. Clover, perhaps, would not be grown on as large a scale as it is at present were it not for the ex ceplianal _ ysm when _ tftere is them. Know the verses by heart, pretty one?” “Yes, and I want you to write a chorus." She told him she would have to have the privilege of a month’s notice to either party, Hackey. “But," she quieted him, “I’ll guarantee, in case I ex ercise privilege, not to act for anyone else during the whole term of the contract.” “But,” Hackey moaned, “you could leave me in the middle of a profitable sea son.” “And,” she smiled, “you could throw me out in the middle of a bad one.” “True, but I’m not likely to.” he mourned. “I like you, dollink dear. I love to have nice bric-a brae around the place.” Rulon was staring, frown ing, and Barbara saw that his quick temper wasn’t far from the surface. “I’ll bet Comrade Masters advised you to ask for that.” “He wasn’t the only one,” she said quickly. “Why should he want you I to be able to duck whenever you please?” ■tie suggesrea it omy in my interest. People have been known to want to use their wings even when they work for men as charming as you and Mr. Hackey.” Rulon waved his hand. “That sounds nice, but it isn’t particularly convincing.” She flushed; she wouldn’t , let herself reply: unquestion ably Rulon was capable of ! making the theater uncom- | fortable for her. Hackey glanced anxiously from one to the other. “Don’t you two get to quar reling. For heaven’s sake don’t make Hackey a Christ mas present like that. I’m i not sure, Charles, I’m not just as pleased to have that little weapon against beautiful.” But Rulon sat frowning studying Barbara while Hackey wrote in a new para graph and initialed it. When they had signed the con tracts, and Rulon and his man had witnessed them, the ac tor said to the manager un der his breath: "I guess you’re right. May lie it’s just as well.” With one of his abrupt changes of mood he faced Barbara, smiling, jovial. “Let’s go eat. Join us, Guv’nor?” Hackey hesitated, then shook his head. His refusal worried Barbara, because it hinted that he wanted to leave them alone; desired, perhaps, to give them an op portunity for sentiment. It was exactly what she didn’t want, and she kept Rulon from being troublesome that night only by making him dance more than he wanted to, and by holding their talk to theatrical subjects that absorbed him; but all the time she had the sick feeling of one involved unwillingly in a foredoomed struggle. He pressed her hand when he left her. “Let s take a ride through | the park. I want a serious ! talk with you, Barbara.” “Certainly not to-night, Charles, it’s too late.” “Then to-morrow night, I must talk to you, quietly, alone.” “We’ll see.” He sighed, stooped, and lingeringly pressed his lips to her hand before walking reluctantly away. For the time she forgot him in her preoc cupation with her graver pro blem. If she hadn’t hurt and angered Gray with her fight and her fraudulent letter he would never, she was pretty sure, have agreed to a selfish, passionless marriage. It was her duty, therefore, to dis suade him from it by any means in her power; but she would have to see him alone, and she was afraid, after his behavior at Mrs. Twining’s that a direct appeal for a secret interview would only result in humiliation. She transferred her few plenty ol moisture and good falls of snow that provide an occasionally good crop. One agricultural college head says: “There is no need In arguing. Alfalfa is ultimately going to take the place of clover.” He recognizes there are still farms which grow clover like a weed' with out the use of lime or any fertilizer.

After she had 1 run out for a skimpy, savor less luncheon she gathered her courage and called the Manvel offices and asked for Steve. “It’s Barbara. Are you alone Steve?” “Will be in a moment.” She heard him dismissing whoever was with him. “Now solitude reigns. Why the secrecy?” “I want you to do some thing for me, Steve.” “There’s very little I wouldn’t accomplish for a promising young actress.” "Thanks, Steve. I hate be ing a bother, but you’ve taught me to look to you.” “I’m flattered, ma’am.” “Then make up some plot that will let me see Gray with out anyone’s knowing it.” She had an illusion that his disapprobation vibrated across the wire even before he spoke. "That’s the one thing that I won’t do for you.” All the kindness and good nature had left his tone. "Try to realize that Gray’s made a decision that ends an episode in your life and his. I’m inclined to think it’s a good thing for you that the self-centered dog has.” "Don’t scold, Steve. My mind’s made up. I’ve got to try to make him realize what he’s let himself in for. I want to get him out of it if I can.” "Esther and you,” he drawled, "don’t squander much love on each other.” "No,” she said. "If there ever was a time for frankness it’s now.” He hesitated, then spoke firmly. "In that case I’ll be perfect ly frank with you. While I’m inclined to agree that little Esther won’t let cur Hercules lack for labors, his choice of a taskmaster is his own fun eral.” "You mean it’s none of my business.” "Precisely.” Her voice rose. "For once you're wrong, Steve. I got him into this mess, and I want to get him out.” "How?” "I don’t know yet. Any way I can.” He reminded her anxiously: "I told you last evening there was danger on that road.” "I’ll chance it,” she said de fiantly. Her voice snarpenea. “After the night you tried to demolish a montrous gatepost with a fragile motor car I should think you’d realize the truth about Gray, and the peril of placing yourself in the hands of selfish people.” “You don’t know everything about that, Steve.” “Nor do I care to. Get down to your work, Barbara, eave Gray alone. I know it’s hard for you to believe now, but time does cure such wounds.” “Steve! You’re wasting your breath. I’m going to talk to him if I possibly can, just once.” “Then why come to me? why not apply directly to him?” “Because he’s angry with me; because he despises me, or thinks he does, which amounts to the same thing. I’m pretty sure if I telephoned he’d cut off, or if I wrote a note that he’d tear it in bits. So please, Steve, arange some thing so we can meet without his knowing about it before hand.” His swift answer held no hope of compromise. “Not a chance. If you want to talk to him apply to the young man himself, but I warn you you’re making a mistake you’re very well likely to re gret.” “Then it will be my own fault,” she said. “Alright. Have me switched on to his line.” “No use, my troubled child. He’s not in the office, and won’t be back today.” / (TO BE CONTINUED) type that I can expect, their daugh ters to be even better.
