SLEDGE did what any other fool lover would have done. He telephoned three times that evening to see how Molly was, and When he went home he drove two miles ont of the way to pass the bouse. He was equally sollcitlous the next morning and handled his business with singular lack of concentration. The last two weeks had made him more slavishly in love with Molly than ever, and he missed her as a morphine fiend docs his "dope." Goldman dropped in to see him at 2 x o'clock. "I want to talk consolidation with yon, Mr. Sledge," he offered, sitting smilingly in the visitor's chair. "What consolidation?" asked Sledge. "The street railway companies. We have Just purchased the controlling in terest In the company now operative.'' Sledge turned on him a slow glance. / "Prom Frank Marley?" he demanded. "From Frank Marley," repeated Coldman pleasantly, looking as if he expected to be applauded for bis enterprise. "You're up against it," Sledge warned him. "Did you pay?" "Gave Marley my check yesterday afternoon." "Today's a holiday," advised Sledge. "Better stop payment." "I don't understand," faltered Coldman. 4,You will when you're stung," advised Sledge. "I'm not stung," announced Coldman emphatically. "Our people don't take a chance on getting in wrong. That check can be stopped." "Qo to It," ordered Sledge and punched the bell. "Where's Beudlx?" he demanded of Adolph. "Don't know. Want him?" "Quick!" ordered Sledge. "Why didn't you tell me you was after control? Now you don't get anything." "I get out?that's one cinch!"" stated Coldman, rising and looking at his watch. "How?" asked Sledge. ^That's my affair. I'd be a sucker to ?? lay- rays* If liable by an admission of the knowledge." rf wanf lr?>ATi* 99 MAMlafAil C1/v/1r?A A TV HU W IV/ nuVTTf |^XOI01CU "I want to be sure of it" "You're gunning for Marley," surmised Coldman. "Sure I am!" agreed Sledge. "1 don't want you stung. How do you crawl?" "Do I get back In after it's all straightened out?" "Ton can have a chunk of it" Coldman surveyed him thoughtfully. "They do say you stick to a promise like that" he mused. "Well, two weeks ago I had a written authority to make contracts, conclude business and write checks, in the name of iny corporation. Day before yesterday that authority was revoked. We always do that" Bendlx came in. "Marley got out from under," Sledge told him. "Why?" "So the wedding could come ofT," returned Bendlx, with an involuntary glance at the red rose boutonnlere< "The wedding!" repeated Sledge. "Look here. Bendlx, don't you kid me!" "I wish I was," replied Bendlx. showing, for the first time, his knowledge of how important all this was to the big boy. "Molly and Bert Glider are to be married right off the bat" No man had ever seen Sledge pale before. "When?" he wheezed. "Right away. This afternoon! They're being married now!" Although there were to be no guests at the Marley wedding, the house was naturally In a state of much tensity as the time approached. Molly, for two hoars before the minister was to arrive. was engaged In the finishing touches of her toilet which was fully aa elaborate, though not so oonven tlonal, as If the function was to be the most formal one possible, and her boudoir, from one end to the other, waa clattered with fluffy finery, with toilet accessories, with two maids and Fern Burbank, the three latter articles being In a state closely bordering on hysteria. Downstairs Bert Glider wandered Atom room to rootn feeling more in the way than If he were au unbidden guest at somebody else's wedding, his only human companion being an occasional eontact with the thin legged butler, who, under the excitement of the oeca Ion, bad opened a surreptitious hot tie of champagne In the pantry, and. there being plenty of room in Ids In taUeet, hod succumbed to the Inevita Me gloom or the occasion. The most busily occupied oue of nil ^ however, was Fruuk Marley. who. from immediately after breakfast, had ensconced himself in his den, where be somewhat sadly finished his con nectlon with muny odds and ends or local business and social institutions, writing checkn and friendly notes all the morning. Ho even hod his lunch brought In to 111111, for, truth to tell, he preferred rather to be alone than to be with Bert on this particular day. lie fell somehow ns If he could never he quite in accord witn trie man T7GG was to take from him bis motherless Molly, nil he tried to quell the fear for her which arose In him.

It will be necessary to water the bed every other dar, during dry weather to prevent the soil from drying out. The seed bed may be shaded by means of burlap tacked over the frame, or by a lathe screen] As soon as the young plants have cjome up, remove the screen in order to admit the sunlight. Care should btf taken that the plants be protected frbm the sun from eleven o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon. After the plants have formed the fourth leaf, no protection is necessary. Thin out the plants aB soon as they have formed the fourth leaf, and allow them to Btand one inch apart in the row.

Clemson College.?The bud worm of corn, a serious pest to bottomland corn, in South Carolina is the larva or grub of our common twelve spotted cucumber beetle. This beetle or parent may be found at the present time feeding upon small grain in the fields, fruit blooms about the orchard, or on almost any other green vegetation found about the farm. The larva or grub confines its activity to corn and various grasses found growing in low moist lands, commonly known as bottom lands. The eggs are laid by the parent beetle from about the first of March to the middle of April. Corn planted on low lands during the egg laying period Is very often seriously damaged and sometimes completely destroyed by this insect. After the corn has reached a height of about ten inches no serious injury occurs. Remedial Measures. Avoid planting bottom .lands infested with bud worms until about two-thirds of the grubs have reached the quiescent period. The planting dates for various sections of the state has been carefully marked out and are followed by many of our farmers. They are as icrowvr For lower South Carolina plant after May 5th. For middle South Carolina, plant one week later. For upper South Carolina or the Piedmont region, plant two weeks later or about May the 19th. By carefully observing the planting dates a stand of corn may be secured while the grubs of the first generation are sleeping in the soil, then before the second generation comes, the corn is too large to be seriously injured.

Apply well decomposed stable manure liberally In this trench together with an 8-4-2 commercial fertilizer at the rate of 800 pounds per acre. Mix thoroughly with the plow and then list with two furrows. This will form a slight ridge within the water furrow. This ridge is then smoothed off with a rake, and the plants set eight inches apart in the row. About one-third of the loaf surface should be removed before setting the plants. The transplanting is done in the same way as transplanting cabbage or tomato plants. Cultivate clean throughout the summer. Celery may folow any spring crop such as onions, Irish potatoes, beans, or any other crop that will mature by the middle of July. Instructions for blanching will be given later.
