ALL'S WELLTHATENDS WELL
By HOLLIDAY GRAY.
Denny Harhnugb came Into his
grandfat Iter's library and Hung him
self into a chair.
"Hello, grandad!"
"Good morning!" quavered a high,
thin old volet1 from a window where
the morning sun was streaming In. j
"llow aro you this morning, air?"
"Holten I" answered Denny.
"What time was It?two, three or
four o'clock?when you went to bed?"
asked the old man with tin* Mareaam.
"Five,' Maid Denny.
"That is precisely the hour I turned
?\it. at your ago. May f nsk what you
were doing?"
It pleased Denny to tell the ItHtfh.
"Usual thing?show, eaharet and
club."
"Why don't you get married?"
Denny spread his hands. "What
on? I haven't two cents."
"Why don't yoa go to work, then,
pick out a nice girl and settle down?"
"I have picked out a girl," said Den
ny. springing up and pacing the floor,
hands in pockets. "And that Is Just
what 1 came to talk to you about. I
want to work, but the education you
have given me doesn't seem to count
much."
"I believe you're right, boy." The
old man closed his book and tapped It
thoughtfully. "Of course you know
that some (lay you'll have all I've got.
Hut I hope to be here for some time
to come and In the meantime?show,
cabaret, club! I'll see how much you
mean what you say. You see that set
of Shakespeare I bought last year?
Well, I'vt? decided that It's older and
more valuable than I at first supposed.
There's no record of It that I can find,
but If you can find out the date and
history of the edition I'll give you the
start In life you need."
"It's a go, sir!"
That night he went to see Mary
Page.
"Mary. I've never before been In n
position to tell you, but I believe I
see daylight ahead. I love you, dear
little girl. If I succeed will you mar
ry me?"
"Only waiting to be asked, Denny,"
she replied promptly.
After a season of rapturous silence
Denny explained. "Grandfather has
some rare books, you know. He's u
dyed-in-the-wool bibliomaniac. I>ast
year he bought a rare old edition of
Shakespeare, but there was no record
of It to be had. Rosencran*. the man
he got 11 from. Is dead, and no one
knows where ltosencrtynz got it. I'm
to hunt up the history of the thing and
after that grandad will start ine in
business. That means you, Mary. It's
worth working for. Isn't it. dear?"
Then started a period of study and
Investigation for Denny which meant
more application, hard work and self
denial than he had ever before under
take!'. In his gay young life. He hnunt
cd'hook shops and collections, libraries
and publishers to get some clew that
would lead to the discovery of the
history of the books. He studied bind
ing and processes, modern illustrating
and old illuminations. Hut this, side
of the Atlantic yielded no information
on the subject, and Denny determined
to cross the water in spite of German
submarines, to pursue his investiga
tions in Kngland.
Then Mary, who tyttd taken it keen
Interest In his efforts und had follows!
every move he had made, decided to
do something. There was something
she had known about the book a all
along that she had not told Denny.
And, going to her trunk one day who
took out a paper, yellow, creused and
brittle with age.
That night, knowing Denny was
away, she went to the great house fac
ing the park. Instead of ringing the
hell, she tried the front door softly. It
gave to her touch end opened without
a sound. She slipped through the
soft-carpeted, high-celled hall Into the
library, keeping close to the velvet cur
tains. Tiptoeing to the case that held
the precious old hooks she searched
until she found one volume with a
much-worn hack. Under the discol
ored calfskin she slipped the paper
Kite had taken from her trunk and
theu, replacing fhe hook on the shelf,
she quietly closed the door.
"When old Kosencram would give
me only two hundred dollars for the
set, 1 am glad now I didn't tlnd the
paper until after he sold them, Father
always said they were worth ten thou
sand dollars, as they were In the col
lection of Queen lClUaheth. But they
have served their purpose and 1 aiu
satisfied."
The next morning Mary ask^d Inno
cently: "Denny, why don't you search
the hooks thoroughly? Sometimes old
hooks have ihiugw stowed away iu
them we never dream of."
"I hare looked1" declared Denny,
"hut hefore 1 ^o abroad I'll make sure.
You may he right, Mary."
And then came the wonderful dis
covery. Denny called her on the
phone. "Mary, I've found the paper.
You were rl?ht. It was under the cover
of 'All's Well That Knds Well.' And
think of all the time we've wasted,
dear. It makes me wild to think of
It. with this paper under our very
noses."
"Listen Denny, dear. Don't you
realise that you have learned a lot this
year?that now you can go Into the
very business In which your grandfa
ther made his fortune?that you know
hooks?"
"You're right, I do., And gfandud is
so happy tor insists on our getting mar
ried right away."

Characters of Birds.
The federal government Is Investi
gating birds with u view to discover
ing whether they /ire harmful or help
ful to mankind. Of forty or fifty spe
cies, exclusive of hawks and owls,
thus far put through this scientific
third degree, only oue has beet; found
harmful?the English sparrow. This
quarrelsome little creature is an un
qualified nuisance. All other birds of
the group mentioned are either innoc
uous or helpful, and many of them are
worth well-nigh their weight in gold
to the farmer and fruit raiser.
Of hawks and owls there are 75
species found in this country, only six
of which are injurious. The rest
either do no harm at all, or more than
make up for occasional depredations
by their services in keeping down ver
min.
The moral seems to he that when
In doubt about the character of a bird,
give it the benefit of that doubt. The
chances are about fourteen to one that
even the suspected hawk or owl Is a
friend in disguise, and other feathered
creatures, with the single exception of
the sparrow, are Just and righteous al
together.
Better Farming in the South
TO USE FERTILIZERS MOST PROFITABLY
Fertilizers Supply One or More Plant Foods Without Which
,Crops Will Not Be Profitable. ..
The ambition
of every farmer is
to make the larg
est crops possible
every year, arid it
it his duty to
make them when
he can. But har
vests of large
crops remove
large quant itites
of plant food from
the soil. This de
crease of planti
food finally pre
J. C. PRIDMORE vents good yields.
Agronomist And unless some
provision is made lor restoring and
then maintaining production, low
yields and unprofitable returns will
continue to be the result. One can
not draw money fso<n a bank unless
he han friendH there. Neither can tfee
plant draw upon the soii and get the
necessary food elements if the soil
d?#es not contain them.
Plan For Good Yields Every V?r
Every farmer should adopt for bin
land a system of farming that will
give him good yield* continually year
after year. If this Is done, he must
feed the plants; for plants, like ani
mals, must feed to grow. While plants
require some ten or more elements
for their growth, all, except three,
are supplied in abuadanoe in most
soil*. The three elements not supplied
abundantly are nitrogen, phosphorus
and i>otash. All these are generally
deficient In most southern soils, and,
therefore, have to be supplied in some
commercial form to get profltatble
yieldn. '
For a farmer to get the largest acre
returns from his Investment in fer
tilisers, it is necessary for him to
know something of the conditions un
der which fertilizers may be used most
effectively. He naturally asks: "Un?
der what conditions will fertilizers
prove most profitable?"
Fertilizers are used primarily to sup
ply one on. more'plant foods without
which crops will not be profitable.
But there are conditions other than
plsot foods that mav influence growth.
It if very necetcsry that rood growing
conditions bo piovidod for the plant
ho that khe fertilizer used may enable
tke plant to grow mo?t vigorously. and,
therefore, bring about the biggest
yields.
Vigorous 8eed
The fundamental, good growing con
ditions making possible the most ef
Icient use of plant foodH, are good
seed, a good seed bed and good culti
vation.
All planting seed must have strong
vitality to germinate ami grow rapidly
Seed should also be ?f a variety adapt
ed to local conditions. Time and rate
of plartfing must be given attention,
for either one of these may very ma
terially effect the yield of the crop
Good Seed Bed
Conditions required in the soli for
best plant growth, and biggest acr?
returns from fertilizers used, are
good, welt prepared, finely pulverized
seed bed. It should be mellow and
Arm, so as to enable the roots to
penetrate freely and deeply in search
of food and moisture, and to allow suf
ficient circulation of air. It should
be well drained. It should be well
supplied with organic matter, which
aids in absorbing and holding moisture
and improves the structure and tilth
of the soil. Good cultural methods
must bp employed so as to destroy
weeds and retain noil moisture.
If the preceding conditions are sat
{?factory for plant growth, then, and
not till then, are crope able to make
the most efficient use of plant food*
within their reach. If any one ol
these unfavorable conditions exist, a
plant cannot fully utilize the fooda
jnipplied in fertilizers. Under good
growing conditions fertiliser* are used
very profitably, proof of which ia fur
nished by thousands of fanners all
over the South. Fertilizers contain
genuine plant food, and, of coarse,
have a marked beneficial Influence
when applied in sufficient quantity
and tbe plants are otherwise given a
fair cbanc*. The question now la
Are you striving to so Improve your
soil condition* that you may utlliz?
the value of fertilizer to fhe fullest
extent ?
