Elizabeth Vcalon laughed a? ahe walke<! arouud the beech tree and ex amined the marking;** on its trunk two hearts pierced by an arrow and encircled by the legend, "Pamtiea for thoughts, rosemary for remembrance." "Were we ever so foolish as that?" she asked herself. Then the laugh died in a sigh as she walked on. push ing her way through the tangle of ragweed that obstructed her path. He low her, Cabin branch rippled with a soft murmur. Everywhere were mem oiies and mingling with them a soft. 1 clear whistle, once so familiar a sound It occasioned no surprise when ?he reached the farm gate to see a man stretching out a hantl to open it. "1 thought you would come," he suid quietly. "The years have made no chauge in you. You are not one day older. Your eyes are sparkling anil your mouth has the same adorable kink at the corners that ? " He came through the gate and stood beside hor. "You received my let ter?" "No. Did you write?" h "Then I owe my good luck to Provi deuce. I asked you to meet me hero. Hut 1 had hoped f?r a different recep tion. Elizabeth, won't you give me a word of welcome?" "1 have first to forget years of ab sence and silence," she said slowly. She smiled at him with unconcerned eyes. "What have you been dotfng all the years you have forgotten friends and country?" "Working hard. 1 wanted a home. When 1 needed recreation I cultivat ed flowers. You should see my gar den." "That would indeed be pleasant. And your wife?" she asked courte ously. "You are still an adept at fencing, Elizabeth." he interrupted. "Are we to continue the same old garnet" "1 do not understand. We are too old to play pussy wants a corner and hide and. seek. Those are the only games 1 remember. Perhaps I will recall others later on," she said. "It will be pleasant to rummage among old memories," he laughed shortly* "but at present I am interest ed in knowing when you received my wedding cards." "They never reached me. But a honif suggests a wife, doesn't it?" N'ot necessarily. The purchase was the result of a settled purpose, j May I trespass upon your hospital ity0 For the first time in years I can treat myself to a short vacation." "You are most welcome." she re plied cordially. "You have been sad ly missed." "Thank you. Your voice then held its first note of friendliness. I was beginning to feel homesick. Eliza beth. will you let me give you lessons in gardening during my stay?" She threw back her head and laughed heartily. "It would be wasted effort. Plants n^ver thrive for me. I leave the borders to Uncle Pink." "Perhaps you have never tried hard enough. 1 want to talk and 1 am curious. Are you really as indiffer ent about that letter as yo* would have me believe?" "I had forgotten it. "Then. I presume, since the letter is so easily forgotten, memory will be at fault in regard to several things I have been hoping you would remem ber." "I re mo tube red you." she replied pleasantly. "Ten years is long to keep one in mind, especially ? " "Especially?" "When one tries hard to be forgot ten." She brushed the litter from her dress. There was a finality in the movement that made him stretch out a detaining hand. "Don t go. It is very pleasant here even if 1 am disappointed in the warmth of ray greeting, and I do so ?wish to tell you of my garden." She shook her head even as she paused. 1 am afraid you ride an old man's hobby. Come to the house and tell me in the firelight. The air is getting frosty." "No. 1 must tell it here." He hesi tated a barely perceptible instant. "It Is a hobby. Dear, you should see ray beds of pansies and rosemary." The color flared into her face. "You had prepared me for a garden <JT or chids, but even old-fashioned flowers can be an outlet for surplus energy. You always did throw yourself body and sou 1 into whatever you undertook to do." "Why net, Elizabeth? This is Mon day. I must be in my office Thursday morning. Important business requires my attention, else^ I would remain here and begin at the beginning of tbings. Ten years is a long time, but you have never been absent from my thoughts. I would have written, but there was nothing to say. I had noth ing to offer you. The best I could do Wei to work for a home for you. It has taken me ten years. Will you ac cept it? Will yo* go^act with me Wednesday?" Her eyes swept the fields. She paused so long that the man beBide her caught his breath and grasped the rail of the gate until his knuckles showed white. Then she turned to him. "It wll) be a delight to see those old-fashioned flower borders," she said simply. i fc r.j All crops have bc?n retarded in growth this year on account of the long drouth, and ( particularly cotton, And in order to make a good cotton crop we will |p work it fast and apply a quick acting Fertiliser, Top Dresser or Nitrate of Soda. * ' ' ? 1 We have a full stock of Fertilizers.
