I won’t have it I feel a thousand years! old.’ He glared at her once more, “You are sure of me now —and quite right ... but 1 don't feel In the least like kissing you. .... I've barely slept, and I feel like the devil." For the first time In many days ehe felt an inclination to throw back he? head and give vent to a. joyous laugh—joyous but amused, lor she would always be Mary Zat- Hany But she merely sgld: “My dear Lee. ! could not stand being made love to at four in the after noon. it Is not aesthetic.

I’m told you were expected to marry her at one time. She is very beautiful and has more subtlety than most African women. Why didn’t you?" •< “Because she wasn’t you. I«sup pose. Did she stick a little -be jeweled gold pin Into you?" “Only with her eyes. She made me feel quite the age I bad left be hind me in Vienna.” And then she asked Irresistibly, "Do you think you would have fallen in love with me, after a much longer and better opportunity to know me, if you—if we had met in Vienna before that time?" “No, I should not. Wbat a quea tloai I should have loved you tp one way 'as 1 do now—with that part ot life that worships you. But men are men, and never will fit demi-gods." This time she did laugh, and un til tears were In her eyes. "Oh 'Lee! No wonder I fell tn love with you. Any other man—well. 1 couldn’t have loved you. My soul was too old." And then her eye.-- widened as she stared before her “Perhaps " 'He sprang to hls feet and pull,-<> her up froni her chair "None i>t that. None of that. And now 1 u< want to kis’s you.” And as Marj’ Zattiany never did anything by halves she was com pletely happy, and completely youitg. XXXVI He left her at ten o'clock, and the next mo'rnlng rpse at seven and went tp work at or.ee on his play. He chose the one that had tne’greatest emotional po^sibiil, ties. Gora Dwight had told him that he must learn to “externalize bis emotions/’ and he felt that here was the supreme opportunity Never would he have mdre turgid pent-up, tearing emotions to get rid of than now. He wrote until one o’clock, then, after lunch and two hours on hls column, went out and took a long walk; but lighter ot heart than since he had met Mary Zattiany? He also re flected with no little satisfaction that when writing on the play he had barely thought ot her. All the fire in him had flown to his head and transported him to an otliisr plane; he wondered if any wxmtan, save in brief moments, could rival the ecstasy Os mental creation. That rotten spo,t in the brain, dislocation of particles, what ever ft was that enabled a few men to do what the countless mil lions never dreamed of attempting, or attempt only to fail, was. through its very abnorpiality, pro ductive ot a higher and more sus tained delight, a more complete an nlhilatlon ot prosaic life, than any mere function bestowed on all men ' alike. It might bring suffering, dis appointment, mortification, even despair in its train, but the agita tion ot that uncharted tract in the brain compensated for apy revenge that nature, through her by-prod uct, human nature, might visit or. those who departed from her be loved formulae. Nevertheless, and before hls walk was finished and he had re turned home to dress for dinnex with her, the play was on one 'tne and he on another, visioning tels alone with her in the Aus agapemone. And cursing the minable weeks between. He jematized himself for consent art to the delay, and vowed she’d had her own way for tbe ipst He foresaw many not unagreeabla tussles of will. She was-far too accustomed having her own way. Well .. t he. For u "eks he left his rooms only ' . or d’aq or spend an b h her lu the afternoon . »iie was alone. He rebelled ■"> than he had expected. If he aid not have her wholly, the less ~e saw of her the better. Dippers, luncheons, theatre par ties. receptions, were being given for her not only by her old frlenAs —who seemed to her to grow more numerous daily but by their daughters and by many others who ipade up for lick of tradition by that admirable sense of rightness which makes fashionable society In America such a waste of efficiency and force, And whether the young 1 - er women privately hated her or had fallen victims to that famous charm was of little public conse quence. It was as If she had ap peared In their midst, waved a sceptre and announced: “I am the fashion. Always have X been the fashion. That to my metier, Bow - J - Qyn '' HUGE SB $» 8? HARVESTIHG METHOD , Co-Op Plan Puts More Than Two Hundred Thousand Into Pockets of Georgians ?• ATHENS, Deg. 26—Georgia far, %ers saved $235J507 by marketing co-operatively $2,306,261 worth of farm produce last year, according to Dr. J. Phil Campbell, director ot extension work at the State College of Agritulture. ' The farmers saved $133,223 by purchasing necessary articles on the co-operative basis, he said. This amoupt was saved in buying SBIO,- 140 worth of farm necessities, and animals and seed. Marketing is. receiving more' at tention than any other phase of agri culture at present, Dr. Campbell stated. ‘The old method of distributing farm products are being very much modifi'ed,” he said. "During part of the year-we had employed at the College two specialists in market ing. Warly in the present calen dar year an agreement was enter ed into between the college and the State Department of Agriculture, by which the Extension Division of the college a/id the Bureau of Mar- i kets of the Department are co-op-' erating in marketing activities. County agents are assisted in their marketing work by specialists of the State* Bureau. “We have at present time one specialists in marketing who ex-, pends his efforts mainly in mar-. keting work of ah educational na ture. He furnishes county agents with information as to methods of planning rules, and assjsts them in making the sale demonstrations, through which producers are devel oped in the handling of their own marketing problems. “The carlot; poultry sales, inaugurated a little ! more than a year ago, have devel oped much more rapidly than was anticipated at first. During the period covered by this rqgiort sales have been held in 37 counties. 'There are as yet many commo dities which are not produced on a state wide basis in such volume as to justify the organization of over- 1 head commodity marketing associa tions for their sale. County agents and county home demonstration agents are helping producers to find market for these crops. Farm supplies are also produced co-op eratively in a limited way where satisfactory prices cannot be other wise secured.” . j POLITICIANS GETTING ACTIVE AT COLQUITT COLQUITT, Dec. 26.—The coun ty Democratic committee has call ed the county primary for Janu ary 11 and candidates are very ac tive.

If however, in making this iaie tae taxpayer has incurred a loss, he may under tip,, samo clairne and deduct the Yultire loss. ’ “Now, if Secretary Mellon’s sug gestions are favorably received by the Congress and enacted into law, in the case I have just described, the taxpayer will be allowed to claim as a deductible loss only that sum which he would have been parged with if instead of taking' a loss he’had made a profit.” AMERICAN VESSELS.

Hatfield, Ark.—Mr. G. W. Parsons, a well-known farmer on Route 1, this place, says: “I keep Black-Draught in my home all the time. It is the best all-around medicine I have ever found for the liver and for constipation. We began using it 25 or more '/ears ago and have used it whenever needed since. • I have never found any other medicine as good for constipation, mid that was what I suffer ed with till I began using Black-Draught. Black-Draught corrected this condition, and now we use it for the liver and for indigestion—a tight and sluggish feeling after meals, for bad taste in the mouth and sour stomach. “My wife uses it for’headache and biliousness. It sets on our shelf and we don’t let it get out. It has been a gre|t help to us. 1 'believe a great deal of sickness is caused by hurried eating and constipation, and Black-Draught, if taken right, will correct this condition.” Get Thedford’s, ihe original and only genuine Black-Draught powdered liver medicine.
