“No." He died in India, and after
his death Judith Came back to Eqg

There was a long silence, while
Jean tried to fit in the new facts
she had learned, with her knowledge
of her father’s character. She was
a little afraid that
might misunderstand her impulsive
outburst of indignation.
“Don’t think that I am

derstand his doing such a thing.
You know, for the last two years
of my mother’s life I was with
them both constantly, and anyone
living with them could understand
their doing things that ordinary
people wouldn’t do.” She paused,
’as though seeking words that might
make her meaning clear. “They
would never really mean to hurt
anyone, but they were just like a
couple of children together—glori
ously irresponsible and happy. I
always felt years older than either
of them. Glyn used to say I was
‘cursed with a damnable sense of
duty, ”—laughing rather ruefully.
“I suppose I am. Probably I inherit
it from our old Puritan ancestors
on the Peterson side. I know I
couldn’t have cheerfully run off
and taken my happiness at the cost
of someone’s prior right.”

as one of the poignant possibilities

When at last she spoke, the eyes
she lifted to meet Tormarin’s were
troubled. In them he could% read

raised, and behind that—courage.

"Worth it, perhaps. You”—his

“LOOK OUT FOR HESSIAN FLY
THIS YEAR”
The Hessian Fly is the most de
structive 'insect attacking wheat in
Ontario. Some years the insect is
scarce and hence very little damage
is done. Other years it may destroy
50 . per ..cent, or more of the grain
in heavily infected -fields. Present
indications are tjiat unless control
measures are taken this fall, there
will be a serious outbreak of the
fly next year.
Control Measures Recommended
Weather • and parasites play a
great part in control, but man can
do nothing to better these two fact
ors and must rely on the following
methods where the inject is abun
dant:. * z
1. So far as practicable, all
wheat stuJbible should be plowed un-
i dei’ completely as soon as possible
after the wheat’ is cut. This buries-
al lthe insect left in the field. The
ground should be worked after
.plowing so as to firm it. Plowing
‘ and firming prevents the flies from
-—‘"5 up as they cannot go
through even three incnes of weH
.firmed soil.
I 2. If the plowing cannot be done
promptly it is a good plan to run a,
cultivator or disc over the field to
cause volunteer wheat to come5 up.
This will attract the flies to lay eggs
in it and thereby lessen the num
ber of eggs laid in the new Wheat
fields. Such volunteer wheat, how
ever must be plowed under aftei’
about September 20th because if it
were left nplowed'it wojild simply
breed flies for the next spring.
3. Prepare the seedbed as well as
possible so that it will\be in excel
lent condition for razpid growth,-
and sow only good plu'mip seed
which will germinate quickly.
4. Sow just as late as is safe in
your district without running the.
risk of having too short a growth
to winter safely. Late sowing is the
most ''important Of all, the control
measures, but if the wheat is sown
too late winter may do more dam?
age than the f4y. Experience in each
locality is the best guide as to how
late sowing of wh^at can be delay
ed. The better the ground is7pre
pared and the better r«e seed sam
ple, the more rapid the growth, and
so later the crop can be sown with safety. For bes’Kresults everybody
in the neighbourhood should co-op
erate in the above control measures
so far as possible. . Safe dates for
sowing would probably be about
Sept. '5th east of Guelph and about
Sept. 20th to 25th tn Essex and
Kent, and about half way between'
these two dates should be suitable
for the intervening- districts, , but
has only added tolerance and a lit
tle wisdom to our harvest’s store,
the houses ,_where dreams come true
might add themselves together un
til there., were whole streets of them
— globing townships—instead, of
merely an isolated dwelling here or
there.
As Tormarin listened to- Jean’s
yong, eager voice, his face soften
ed and some of the tired lines in
it seemed to smooth themselves out.
“Little comrade,’’ he- said gent
ly, and she felt her (breath quicken
