The door opened and Jarvis came into the room. There was a look of half triumph on his face as much as j ' ' rx<'Vv Mrs. Chichester Was Angry; Ethel Said Nothing. | to say: "Now. who woufa not make a mistake like that? Who could tell this girl was your ulece?" He beckoned Peg to come Into tbe room. j Then the Chichester family received the second shock they had experienced that day?one compared with which the failure of the bank paled into insignificance. Wheu tliey saw the strange, shabby, tvd haired girl slouch into the room with her parcels and that disgraceful looking dog they felt the hand of misfortune had indeed fallen upon them. As Peg wandered into the room Mrs. Chichester and Alaric looked at her in horrified amazement. Ethel took oue swift glance at her and then turned her attention to Pet Jarvis looked reproachfully at Mrs. Chichester as much as to say, "What did I tell you?" and went out. Alaric whispered to bis mother: "Oh, I say. really, you know?It isn't true! It can't be." Pet suddenly saw Michael and began to bark furiously at him. Michael responded vigorously until Peg quieted him. At this juncture Mr. Hawkes came forward and. taking Peg gently by the arm. reassured her by saying: "Come here, tny dear. Come here. Don't be frightened. We're all your friends." He brought Peg over to Mrs. Chichester. who was staring at her with tears of mortification In her eyes. YVheu Peg's eyes met her aunt's she bobbed a little courtesy she used to do as a child whenever she met some of the gentlefolk. Mrs. Chichester went cold when she saw the gauche act. Was it possible that this creature was her sister Angela's child? It seemed incredible. "What Is your name?" she asked sternly. "Peg. ma'am." "What?" Giiro mo nnmp'a Ppf* ma'am." and she bobbed another little courtesy. Mrs. Chichester closed her eyes and shivered. She asked Alaric to ring. As that young gentieman passed Ethel on his way to the bell he said: "It can't rpally be true! Eh. Ethel?" "Quaint." was all his sister replied. Hawkes genially drew Peg's attention to her auut by introducing her: "This lady Is Mrs. Chichester?your aunt." Peg looked at her doubtfully a moment, then turned to Hawkes and asked him: 'Where's me uncle?" "Alas, my dear child, your uncle is dead!" "Dead!" exclaimed Peg la surprise. "Afther sendin' for me?" "He died just before you sailed," added Hawkea. "God rest his soul," said Peg piously. "Sure, if I'd known that I'd never have come at all. I'm too late, then. Good day to ye," and she started for the UWl . Mr. Hawkes stopped her. "Where are you going?" ;j "Back to me father." "Oh. nonsense!" "But 1 must go back to me father | if me uncle's dead." "It was Mr. Kingsuorth's last wish I that you should stay here under your I aunt's care. So she has kindly coni sented to give you a home." Peg gazed at Mrs. Chichester curiously. j "Have ye?" she^wked. Mrs. Chichester, with despair in evj ery tone, replied. "I have!" i "Thank ye," said Peg, bobbing anj other little courtoew 3Irs. L'uicbester gazed at Peg and covered her eyes with her hand as if to shut out some painful sight. Teg looked at Mrs. Chichester and at the significant action. There was no mistaking its significance. It conveyed dislike and contempt so plainly that Peg felt it through her whole nature. She turned to Alaric and found him regarding her as though she were some strange animal. Ethel did not deign to notice her. She whispered to Bawke3: *'1 can't stay here." "Why not?'' asked the lawyer. "I'd be hfippler with me father," said Peg. "You'll be quite happy here?quite." "We're not wanted here. Michael!" she murmured. The terrier looked up at her and then buried his head under her arm as though ashamed. Jarvis came in response to the ring at that moment, bearing a pained, martyr-like expression on bis face. Mrs. Chicbpster directed him to take away Peg's parcels and tbe dog. j Peg frigbtenedly clutched the terrier. "Oh, no, ma'am." she pleaded. "Plaze lave Michael with me. Don't take him away from me." "Take it away," commanded Mrs. Chichester severely, "and never let it iDside the house again." "Well, if ye don't want him inside yer house ye don't want me inside yer bouse." Peg snapped back. Hawkes pleaded. "No!" said Peg firmly. "1 will not give him up." Tbe lawyer tried again to take the dog from her. "Come. Miss O'Connell; you really must be reasonable." "I dou't tare about beiriK reasonable." replied Peg. "Michael was given to iue by me father, an' he's not very big. an' he's not a wntchdog: he's a pet dog?an' lookT She caught sight of Ethel's little poodle, and. with a cry of self justification, she said: j "See. she has a dog in the houseright here In the bouse. Look at it!" And shp Dointed to where the little ball of white wool lay sleeping on Ethel's lap. Then Pep laughed heartily. "1 didn't know what it was until it moved." (To be continued.)

There are a number of diseases which injure tomatoes in South Carolina but fV?e-%. mAof nrnvolonf /1ocfrn/>fivn are the wilts. Bacterial wilt and fungus wilt are frequently met in gardens and fields where tomatoes are grown and of these probably the most widespread and destructive is bacterial wilt. Bacterial wilt is easily recognized. It begins with the leaves at the top of the plant or at the ends of the branches. These wilt first and the disease gradually works its way back until the entire plant wilts and dies. The bacteria which cause it will live in old diseased plants and in soil for several years. They work in the water ducts and vessels of stem and root and plug up these vessels so thoroughly that circulation is cut off. Practically, they choke the plant to death. Bacteria wilt is spread during the' growing season by leaf-eating insects and bv wind and water that carry the bacteria. When the disease first appears, the diseased plants should be pulled up and burned. As a preventive measure, the botanical division of Clemson College advises spraying the tomatoes with arsenate of lead paste at the rate of one-half pound of paste or one-fourth pound of powdered arsenate of lead to 12 gallons of Bordeaux mixture. Fungus wilt also does its work by choking up the plant's circulation sytetem, but in its case the disease practically always enters through the roots from the soil and lower leaves and branches show signs of the disease first. The lower leaves will turn vellow and nauallv wilt, morn crrnH ually than where the plant is affected with bacterial wilt. The fungus which causes this wilt will remain alive in the soil for n number of years so that it wi'l be necesary to leave tomatoe? trt' the land for five or six years. Spraying does not seem to help in cor trolling fungus wilt. H. W. Barre, botanist of Clemson Colege, says that diseased plants should be pulled up and burned and the succeeding crop should be planted on land where tomatoes have not been grown before. Other destructive diseases of tomato that occur on leaves and young stems are leaf spots or leaf blights and can be controlled by Bordeaux mixture. Where these occur, it is weli to spray the tomatoes once while they are in the seed bed. After transplanting, spray them every two or three weeks until most of the tomatoes are ripe. This samij spray will prevent fruit rots and if arsenate of lead is added it will help to prevent the spread of bacterial wilt. The spray advised is Bordeaux mixture?one pound of blue-stone and one pound quick lime to 12 gallons of water. Another very serious trouble of tomatoes js root-knot. This is recognized by the knots or galls which appear on the roots. They are caused by a kind of eel-worm or nematode which is quite common and widespread. This same species causes root-knot on a great variety of plants. Where this disease occurs, it will be necessary to practise a rotation which will leave all common garden vegetables and other crops, except corn, small grain and Iron and Brabham cowpeas, off the land for two years. Where this is done,' tomatoes can be planted back on the land again. See Farmers' Bulletin 648 of U. S. Department of Agriculture. Begin spraying now for the leaf diseases and keep this up thorugh the summer. The tomato is one crop that it always pays to spray and to be most effective, the work must be bee^un earlv.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL Lesson XI.?Second Quarter, For June 13y 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Ps. xxxii?Memory Verse, 5?Golden Text, Ps. xxxii, 1. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. It is certainly restful and most refreshing to turn from the record of sin, as in the last lesson, to this record of ? sin forgiven and to hear the Spirit of the Lord through David tell of this great blessedness. Nathan said to Da- ? vid, "The Lord hath put away thy sin; r-\ * * * howbeit by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme" (II Sam. xll. 13, 14), and they have been blaspbem- * ing ever since. There is forgiveness for the sinner, but it is an awful thing to be a stumbling block in the way of others. It is beautiful to read of such a sinner as David as "the anointed of V the God of Jacob and the sweet psalmist of Israel." The title. "God of Ja cod," is to me a most wonderrui name and gives me great encouragement As to the psalms of David, see how he gives God all tbe glory, "The Spirit of the Lord sp:-.ke by me, and His word was in my tongue" <11 Sam. xxiii, ^ 1, 2). There can be no doubt that tbe Lord wrote through him all the psalms * attributed to him and many of the others. Our Lord Jesus spoke of him as writing the One Hundred and Tenth (Matt. xxii. 41-45). The apostles spoke of him as the author of the Sixteenth, tbe Second and others (Acts 11, 30. 31; iv, 25, 20; xiii. 32-37). Paul refers to our present lesson as coming through David in Rom. iv. 5-8. This Is the second psalm beginning with the word "blessed," and it is a plural word meaning literally "Ob. the blessings." Spurgeou says that, It means double joys, bundles of happiness, mountains , of delight. There can be no real blessedness till we know our sins forgiven, and the gospel that does not proclaim the forgiveuess of sins is not the gospel of God. for that gospel, says, "Through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins, and by ? Him all that believe are Justified from, all things" (Acts xlli,38.39; Rom. 111.24). In verses 1, 2, 5, there are four different words used concerning our guilt ?transgression, sin, iniquity, guile?and Dr. Adam Clarke says that the first means passing a boundary or doing what Is forbidden: the second means missing a mark or not doing what Is commanded; the third means what Is morally wrong, contrary to equity; the fourth signifies fraud or deceit To re move these evils three acts are mentioned? forgivlug, covering, not imputing. All are fully accomplished for us by the one great sacrifice on Calvary, and the benefits become ours when with true pentltence we turn to Him. We may actually have the forgiveness and be without the joy because we do not rest on the asBurance of His in- 4 fallible word, for joy and i*?ace come only by believing (ltom. xv, 13). If we do not acknowledge our sin and seek 'o cover our iniquity-we will be in as bad a case as was David (verses 3-5), but if we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John i. 9). The riches of His grace in this psalm are so exceedingly abundant that the little w? can call attention to seems so poor we can only pray mat l UK IKOUCI JU1UJT UJ U1H U,/..,. the ocean of fullness that is here. Eph. 1. G. 7. are very precious words to me, beginning nnd ending with grace and including acceptance, redemption an? forgiveness. The truly godly can never perish, but they may wander and need restoration (verse C; 11,12; John x. 28). How rich Is verse 7. my hiding place, our life hid with Christ in God. in God and in Christ! (Col. ill. o; I Thess. i, 1; * II Cor. xii. 2.) My strong habitation, my dwelling place (Ps. lxxi. 3; xc, 1>? how absolutely safe, preserved from trouble, for, though we must have trty* ulation, we need not be troubled, arid no real evil can befall us (John xvi, S3; xiv, 1). He may let us go to the furnace or the lions' den, but we shall come out without any harm whatever. There will be songs of deliverance, for God is unto us a God of deliverances (Ps. lxviii, 20, R. V.). The word "selah," used only in the Psalms and in Hab. iii, always suggests that we pause and meditate. Its use here in verses 4, 5, 7, is most suggestive. When there ^ is no peace consider why; when forgiven consider how great His grace, and always meditate upon Him as our refuge. Inasmuch as "it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps" (Jer. x, 23), it becomes us ever to seek from the Lord our God, with all sincerity, the way wherein we may walk and the thing that we may do (Jer. xlii, 3; Ps. cxliii, 8). In verse 8 of our lesson and in Isa. xxx, 21; Ex. xxiii, 20, we have the assurance of sure guidance if only we are meek enough to be guided (Ps, xxv, 9). There are horses which can be guided by the faintest whisper, and there are mules which sometimes seem more intelligent than their drivers, but those referred to in verse 9 are without iir/iorotarHinff nnd thprp are manv sucb both among horses, mules and men. All such will find sorrows enough (verse 10), but to the trustful and obedient It will be always mercy, and vers? 10, with xxxlli, 1, may be their constant experience. When we consider the Lord and His grace and His glory there Is always abundant cause for the upright In heart to be glad and rejoice and shout for joy. , ( .
