SYNOPSIS
Part one
At thia season of the* year, many
farmers are concerning themselves
with the business of securing fertili
zed for next season’s crop. The
proper use of fertilizers is of great
importance and when they are in
telligently used large savings can
be made. As we know there are
two kinds of fertilizers used, namely,
commercially mixed and home mixed.
Farmers of this county have an op
portunity to get some timely
information concerning proper use of
fertilizers by attending the meeting
at Allendale next Thursday, Decem
ber 10th. It will .profit any farmer
to attend this important meeting.
’ Most farmers realise that the
home mixing of fertilizers is a good
practice and where practical should he
done. If material can he bought in
sufficiently large lots for minimum
cars or bought at the car load rate
the practice of home mixing should
be followed, at least, three to six
dollars per ton can be saved. The
working out of formula showing the
proper amount of the different ma
terial mixed together is easily Ame
and any farmer to whom it is not
familiar can get necessary informa
tion from this office or I shall be
glad to visit any one who contem
plates home mixing and desiring in
formation on this important matter.
Be sure to attend this important
meeting at Allendale on the lOthi—
H. G. Boylston, County Agent.
Letters to Santa Claus will he pub
lished next week.
IT HAS LASTED
Barnwell People Must Relieve Such
Convincing Testimony as Mrs.
Gignilliatt’s.
No one in Barnwell who suffers
backache, headaches, dizziness, rheu
matic pains or distressing urinary
ills can afford to ignore this twice-
told story of a Barnwell resident. It
ia confirmed testimony, telling of
lasting benefit from Doan’s Pills—
a stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
It’s evidence that no man or woman
in Barnwell can doubt.
Mrs. R. C. Gignilliatt. Barnwell,
says: “I had severe backaches caused
fjr*m kidney disorder. I had dizzy
•pells, too, when black specks came
before me. I used Doan’s Pills and
fait great relief/’
FOUR YEARS LATER, Mrs. Gig-
nilliatt added: “It has been some
time since I have had any need for
Doan’s. The cure they gave me -has
lasted.”

CHAPTER X
Jerry's Plaything
In the first week, of December there
was a heavy Middle Weet bllzsard, and
for two day* the dty cowered under
stinging winds and cutting sleet. After
that came a still, biting cold, that
warmed gradually to a blanketing
snowfall. And on tbe fifth day when
the streets were packed to a slick bnt
•olid tottom, Jerry, unable to endure
the brooding loneliness of her thoughts
any'longer, got out the roadster and
^enj f6jr j cgftfqj i££Cold ride be-
“Jsrry! You Beautiful Thing.*
her breath. She did not turn her head,
did not waver her Intent gaze upon tbe
detaining officer. She knew without
looking that he was close to the car,
leaning toward her, his chin grimly
set, his eyes unsmiling. Jerry knew
she could endure no more. >
In that moment she received the sig
nal. She flung the car Into gear,
pressed hard upon the throttle, und
the "Baby" sprang forward like u cata
pult. Jerry heard a warning whistle
from the officer to reprove her for her
reckless speed, but she did not pause
nor look behind. She drove with rigid,
Iron-set muscles up the heautiful, glis
tening avenue, and whirled into the
garage behind the house. Jerry had
reached the end of her resistance. As
In her childish days she had struggled
with the broken toy until convinced
of her impotency, so now she realized
the Ineffectiveness of her struggle
against the love of this man. She
would leave It to Prudence and Jer
rold.
She was‘late and made haste to slip
Into -a fresh dress, brushing her hnir,
powdering her creamy skin witb her
usual gentle care. She was very quiet
iftiring dinner, and Prudence's eyes
rested upon her often with troubled,
unobtrusive sympathy. And after din
ner, while her father rend the evening
[.aper, and while Prudence worked
with nn absurd Lit of lace that was
becoming a handkerchief to corre
spond with Jerry’s newest gown, she
sat in a great chair under a shaded
lamp, a magazine upon her lap, and
stared across it to the dell^te pat
tern of the oriental rug. Jerry was
considering how to surrender the
broken toy.
The sudden ringing of the doorbell
caused her to start violently, although
the laughed immediately at the ab
surdity of her nervous tension. And
when Katie came Into the room and
said tn an awed voicef '
“It’s a policeman,, and be wants tc
see Miss' Harmer,” Jerry was only
amused—curious hut not concerned.
"You've been speeding, miss, and
you pay your own fines,’’ said Jemdd.
“Bring him In, Katie.”
“SpeedingI Good heavens, I crawled
at a snail's pace, ’ she denied Hgntiy.
And added slowly, "most of the time,”
as she remembered tbe burst ol speed
wltb'which she left Locust street.
With the usual easy clubblness of
tbe small town and the Middle West,
Jerrold asked (he officer, whom he had
seen und knew by name, to sit down,
and offered him a cigar.
"This is my daughter," he said pleas
antly, indicating JenV in the great
chair. "You wanted to see her?”
Tlie officer looked in his note-book.
“Man run over. A fellow named Grll-
ton drove the car that did the damage;
we’ve got him locked up, waiting to
see if the man dies. Now he says he
saw you right beside him, a little
in front. He says he has seen you
often, kuows you, knows your csr,
and—” t ♦♦
“Oh, I assure you I saw nothing,’’
Jerry denied quietly.
"He swears the chap stood besids
your csr, his foot on tlxi running
board, talking to you, and that you
started off in a great rush—”
Jerry did not move, did not speak,
•at as one turned to lee.
Prudence got up quickly, crossed to
her chslr, sitting down lightly upon
the great arm of it, her Arm, soft tin-
gers lying against Jerry’s frqgen hand.
Jerry tried to spile at her, to nod
reassurance. The attempt wrung her
mother’s heart
The officer, unnoticing, had contin
ued his narrative. "Started off very
fast, with a great Jerk, and swung the
fellow back so he slipped on the Ice.
And Grilton was right behind you and
ran over him before he knew be had
faUeti. Of conrae, \t the fellow waa
bothering ypu. IUm Bgrmer^r’lM JW-
I assure yon,” Prudence Interrupted
poftly. ‘The young tpan Js a great
friend of ours, « very particular friend.
Nothing lie could do would annoy my
daughter in any way.”
Jerrold came quickly to her assist*
ance, enlightened by Prudence’s de
fense,, his less agile imagination hav
ing fbSeJVed through the situation
more slowly.
“My daughter drives fast, as you
probably know, but she is a good
driver and a careful one. She did not
know there had been an accident If
•he is in any way to blame, you may
rest assured we shall not shirk our
responsibility,”
“Of course of course; 1 just wanted
to see if she would back fip Urilton’s
story—”
Jerry nodded her head.
— A/ify tfxfmrtti wtfiii tnt YjtrtvRty.
“The man you mention, Mr. Allerton,
I believe, did speak to her beside the
car, and my daughter, In a great hurry
to get hom<v started off very fast. She
~dld not know he had fallen. She is
naturally very much upset over the
whqle thing. She is simply horrified,
as you see. Can’t you wait until to
morrow, to give her a chance to—to
recover—”
“Oh, my dear sir, we’re not blaming
Miss Harmer. It was this fellow.Gril
ton did it. " And of course the other
chap—what’s his name”—he consulted
the note-book—"Allerton—he may not
die anyhow, and—”
Jerry winced pitifully.
"Tell us—” Prudence hesitated to
ask, fearing the effect upon Jerry, who
clung to her hand.. "He is hurt—how
seriously?” — —
“Oh, you can’t tell yet. They’ve got
him up at St. Joseph’s. There may be
internal Injuries, .xan’t teil yet. Now,
don’t you be upset about it,. Miss Har
mer, nobody’s blaming you. But if
he should happen to die, you see, you’ll
have to testify at the Inquest and It’ll
be up to the state to prosecute."
Jerry was a atony, graven image,
and Jerrold hurriedly get the officer
out of the room and away, and then
’ came Lack and stood beside Jerry on
the other side f»om Prudence, two stal-
warl bulwarks of love and pity. Jerry
looked-up-at them and smiled.
“Mother,” she said, *T love him—
I loved him nil the time.”
“Yes, I know, sweetness." Prudence
was brooding tenderness itself. “Get
the car, Jerrold und ask Katie to bring
our coats.”
"He—he kissed me, and he was—
drunk, mother. I thought he felt—Just
as I did—and he was only—drunk. I
don’t even know If he remembers—
that he kissed me.”
Katie came In with their costs, and
at a sign from Prudence went out at
once, leaving her alone with her
daughter. Jerry stood up, and her
mother put the great fur cloak about
her shoulders very gently. Jerry dtd
not know that she was trembling.
"YoO wouldn't feel—nice about It,
mother—to know it was only that
when you thought it waa—something
else.”
"No, sweetness, I shouldn’t like It."
Jerrold honked shrilly to them from
the car outside the door, and with her
hand in Prudence's, Jerry herself led
the way. As they drove swiftly along
toward the hospital, no word was
spoken
When Jerrold. after first helping
Pfhdence out, telling her to he careful,
to tulcd tlio Ice, not tq fall, went back
to assist Jerry, he said, a little awk
wardly, but determine*! that she must
have his view of things at last:
"Jerry, all men are fools sometimes.
Tou shouldn’t exj*ect t«K> much of any
of us, you know—not qll the time, at
least." , *
Jerry nodded her head trying to
smile Ijer appreciation his effort
to help.
"There are a lot of fine things about
him,” he went on determinedly. "I—
! had him stay up at the house with
me while you were in Mount Mari.”
' "1 know it, father."
Jerrold shook his head, vaguely
juzzled. How women got on to things
the way they did there was no know
ing. lie had covered all his tracks
so carefully..
“That is why I looked at you that
night at the station," she said in a
subdued little voice. “To see if you
had anything against him.”
"Not a thing,” he declared^ "not a
thing in the world. I like him."
“I know it,” whispered Jerry.
