18 GEORGIAN SILVER j s

TOSS?re3SS3$3$33SSSgSWW^raSSS3<y j
Alex looked down at the little girl j
beside him with a calm, quiet scrutiny
which might have conveyed a diversity
of Impressions upon any who noticed. S
But for the enlightenment of the few ^
who knew not Alex, I shall explain }
that he was quietest when most delighted,
and he was Indeed thankful to '
his hostess for putting him beside this \
sweet little violet of humanity. |
He drew a long breath and waited
for her to speak. He didn't know the i
girl and he hoped she didn't know him.
Otherwise she might be like the oth- |
era; overtalkatlve, unnatural, and apt

predate the fact that, as the best
catch in the matrimonial sea, he was <
apt to be offered bait in generous quan- .
titles and of infinite variety.
Dorothy looked around the dining
room with wide eyes, then up at him
with a smile. "I can't believe I'm
awake," she said.
"No?" It was an Invitation to go
on.
"No. They say that sometimes a
wish Is father to a thought. Maybe
I've Just wished for something like this
?o often that now I think It's true.
Maybe I'm not here at all?only thinking
I am."
"What does it matter? Maybe I'm
thinking all this too."
"I was Just thinking," she remarked
In the Interval before the soup, "that
IPs a shame Boh couldn't be here. He'd
love it so. But Aunt Jane said he
couldn't come, that's all there was to
It. Aunt Jane said It wns kind of Mrs.
Dexter to ask one of the poor Virginia
relations without ringing In the
three of us. . You see, there's Robert,
Stonewall and myself. The boys are
dears; you ought to know them. Bob's
my twin."
"He must be a dear," ventured Alex.
She laughed, but colored nevertheless.
He changed the subject. "Are you
fond of old silver?" he asked. 'Tve
been admiring those Georgian candlesticks.
The pattern is very rare."
'Tve been collecting bits here and
thpTA hp wont nn Hnnhf 'cnn on n
tel! me some wonderful things about
old silver. Most Southerners can. But
one thing I have discovered for myself,
that Southerners may part with their
homes, their clothes, and even their
souls, but their silver?never. I know
where there are some splendid collections
In the South, but you can't get
them."
Dorothy's appetite for food suddenly
disappeared. She laid down her fork
' and looked so distressed that Alex
wondered what dreadful thing he had
laid.
"I want to?sal<LJbe
"""JffnHSBiry^'where* .3ifppen to know
yon may find a beautiful collection of
Georgian silver. It Is at Bernl's, on
Fifth avenue. It all came from one
family, and It seems to me the things
ought to stay together." Then suddenly
and brightly, as If to put a distasteful
thought behind her. "I wish
you could know Wally and Bob. Poor
Bob 1"
"Why poor?"
"Oh, he loves nice things so. We
all do! But I really meant It literally,
jwm Quun. iic ?irc jiuur, very. xou
see that's why I'm?" She stopped.
Virginia pride was uppermost. "Nothing,"
she answered his eager Inquiry.
"I thought I could tell you. but 1
can't."
A painful flush had spread over her
face, and Ales had an uncomfortable
feeling thnt tears were near. Something
was giving this little girl a great
deal of uuhappiness, he had discovered,
and suddenly he had a desire to
chase the clouds away from the serious
dark eyes, and to see the dimple
come and go in her lovely, smooth
cheek.
The next day he stopped In Bernl's.
And there was Dorothy herself, hatless,
coatless and In the plain black
garb of a clerk. She colored furiously
when she saw him.
Alex was puzzled. Was the story of
Virginia, then, merely a happy fiction,
manufactured to entertain a dinner
partner? If so, It was good. "Good
afternoon," he said; "I understand
there was a fine collection of old
Georgian silver here. May I see it?"
"Certainly!" Dorothy led the way
to a table on which was an array that
made Alex fairly Jump with astonishment.
"It's splendid 1" he cried. "Whose
was it? Where did It come from? I
never saw anything like It."
"The silver Is mine?nil I hnve. But
the boys must go to school, and it
must go. l won't lot nnyone else sell
I It. That wns one stipulation I made
I to Beml. that I must approve the pur- |
I chaser. When nnyone else comes
I along, 1 double?treble the price." I
I "But I must have itl Do you ap- ,
I prove of me?"
I She nodded.
"But the collection Isn't complete.
I There Is something else that will have
I to go with It before I take It."
I "JVhat Is that?"
I "You. I always know what I want
I Instantly, and I could hnve told you
I that last night. You're the loveliest
I Klrl I've ever known." He reached for II
I her hand.
I Dorothy did not draw It away, but
I Instead a deep, steady light dawned In
I her eyes and the dimple Alex so longed
I to see appeared In her cheek.
I "I wonder If this Is really true, or If
I I'm Just thinking It Is," she said. [
I "1 hope It's true for us both," he i
I whlspeted. |

DS ARE LIMITED
Food Fixes the Crop Yield, Just as
Strength of the Chain?Only
i Weakness Be Removed.
I shortest plant food element represent
ed here by a stave, limit the possible
- production of a crop?
i If, for Instance, there is only enough
: nitrogen in the soil to produce 20
. bushels of corn or 175 pounds of cotr
ton per acre, while there is enough
i plant food elements of other kinds to
I produce"enormously more, how then
- can greater yields be obtained than the
1 nitrogen will permit?
The problem of plant feeding is,
i therefore, no simple one. It has eni
gaged long and most careful invests
gations of scientists, who have delved
- deep into the mysteries of how plants
- feed and what they feed upon. On the
- basis of the most exact knowledge thus
i obtained, modern fertilizers have been
j manufactured. Soil deficiencies, or
1 "limting factors," modern fertilizers
- are designed to remove, and to call
. into fullest action the natural re.
sources of the soil.
t Since there is a limiting factor in
% all soils, it is worth while for each
i farmer to undertake to remove that
limitation. Intelligent use of fertiliz
era will accomplish it, if food elements
be this limiting factor. In no other
g way can it be done than by the help
9 of man. He must bring to the plant
g the food it needs and cannot find when
i this is the factor limiting producton.
! The i/.ant, of course, must be given
t the best of surroundings. It must not
only have plenty of plant food, but
the soil must be properly drained of
excess water. It must be well supplied
with lime, and organic matter; its
moisture must be conserved, and
weeds killed through proper cultural'
methods. These things man can provide.
Therefore, if man is not the
"limiting factor" and he looks after
the plant food requirements, the greatest
possible yields will occur.
PASTURE VELVET BEANS.
Inquiry?"What is the most profitable
use of the Velvet Bean?"
: Plant the velvet bean in the corn
' and get a double crop. They do well
together. Plant an early variety and
fertilize for a good growth.
The most economical use of velvet
beans is to let cattle feed on them
in the field and then to turn under
i. the vegetable matter remaining. If
iuoic 111 o nut ouiuticub v^amc uu Liiu
'< place, get them and feed them. Why
r go to the expense of gathering beans,
t grinding and shipping the meal off to
r some one else to feed and get the
a benefits??J. N. HARPER.
