CHAPTER XVI.
Interesting News For the Big Boy.
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."

"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that authority was revoked.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

from immediately after breakfast, had
ensconced himself in his den, where

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

rather to be alone than to be with

It will be necessary to water the bed

to prevent the soil from drying out.
The seed bed may be shaded by means
of burlap tacked over the frame, or by

screen in order to admit the sunlight.
Care should btf taken that the plants
be protected frbm the sun from eleven

no protection is necessary. Thin out

BUD WORM OF CORN
IS A SERIOUS PEST
Larva of 12 Spotted Cucumber
Beetle Kills Much Bottom
Lanb Corn.
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.

Assistant Entomologist,

at the rate of 800 pounds per
