to the office of a lawyer named.

acy left to him while he was in

tells`' him he will have to wait un-
til tomorrow, Mark is tempted to
accept when two well-dressed
Young. men offer him five hundred
dollars to go with them -to a par
ty. One of the young men, Ted-
dy, has bet the other, Archie,
that he can take • any man he
meets to an exclusive party' being
given bya woman famous for her
careful selection of guests.

fair, the • Swat day out!
But Teddy' Batiks jumnped to bis
feet. "That's a 'go!" 'he cried; "come
on, Well go and get the clothes!"
The 'preliminaries of getting cloth-
ed, coached by Teddy Balks, and hur-
ried from pillar to post., took up the
brief interval before the •entertain
relent. It was late in the afternoon,
in fact, when Mark found himself in
charge'of Archie Landon, on his way
to earn the money in his pocket. He
had no time to even cons'ier the mir-
aculous change from twenty cents to
five hundred dpllars,put he was aware.
that -clad like a man of the world -
he had more than passed muster with
Teddy Banks. When that young man
saw him in the proscribed raiment he
had given vent to hilarious delight.
"By George, you'll do it -Mrs. Lynn
will think you're a prince in disguise.!"
Then he sobered for a moment "I
say, who are you, anyway? You be-
lpng to - what's the saying? - the
clothes -wearing• race!"
.• "It's quite a while since my ances-
tors left off feathers and a blanket,
Mark had replied dryly.
He could still hear •Teddy's appreci-
ative chuckle. Now he saw that 'Lan-
don 'was observing him, .too. with ap-
parently conflicting feelings. Mark
fancied that the was relieved that his
charge looked well, and yet. Archie
was not' at'ease. It might"be that he
was afraid that this presentable stran-
ger might go too far foward winning
the wager for young Banks. He was
taciturn enough, but• he shad to ex-'
plain some things that Banks had ov-
erlooked.
"Of course I can take you in -that's
easy," he said tersely, "but Mrs. Lynn
wolt't like it. She likes to be asked
ahead and to know who the man is;
it's one of her .rules.` But that's not
the tel. After the reception she asks
'a . fav, a select few, to stay to diu=
ner.• Ted's wager is that she'11 ask
any man In a clean •shirt; he swears
she will; I knoW she won't. She'll
probably freeze you at the start. Ted
will lose, but you're paid. • The point
is this; I'll' be left out, too, -'because
I'm bringing you in 'uninvited; that's
in the wager, too."
"Hard on you," said Mark, "as far
as I can see it's up to me • to make
such a good impression 'she'll ask us
both to. dinner."
"I hope you 'don't, that's all!" Lan-
don retorted acidly. "I "don't remind
losing the wager, but -confound it, I
don't -well., I hate to do the thing!"
Mark stopped him. - "Suppose we
call it off; I'll give back the cash."
Mark, considered it, a faintly ma-
licious twinkle in his eyes. There
was an element of risk in it that ap-
pealed to him. He was to see one of
his uncle's old friends, by this odd
chance, but the nh'n-old; fifteen years
ago -would'' have forgotten. him. Man'
forget the boys they help send to
Jail! As for these two, ,Ted, he
thought, was little more than a boy,
an idle 'young fellow spoiled by wealth
he imagined, hut, at heart, good tem-
pered and fair. The older and taller
of the tsdo he did 'not make out so
easily.
"It's a bargain if I've nothing else
o do-nothing but to try to pass a
famous hostess and, spend an hour at
a social function:"
"That's all, absolutely all, on my
honor, unless you hit the ,.bull's-eye
and get' a bully dinner," 'said Ted,
'and it's five hundred dollars and
your clothes." •
"Done!" said Mark recklessly.
But Archie swung around in his
chair and struck the table suddenly
with `the flat of his hand.
"It's done -if you keep to your part.
Mind, I've got 'to take you in, 'you
can't break in, and you may be hon-
est, you may be a -a-"
"A hold-up man," suggested Mark
coolly, meeting his eyes with a bold
ook, "or a murderer. What then?"
"This," said Archie, "if I catch you
t any hold-up tricks, at anything un-
gentlemanly, I'll call the police."'
"Oh, come," said Teddy deprecating -
y. ,
"Sut up!" snapped Archie, "this is
my end of it. I mean what I say,
Mr.-?" he looked hard at Mark.
His 'attitude was so natural, it• was
so much to bis credit to feel uneasy
at the shabby trick they had planned,
hat Mark Grant almost liked him for
t.
"Suppose you tell me ycur nam'is
first," he said coolly,
"My name's Theodore Banks," said
• he younger one, reddening a little,
'they call me `Ted'; this is my best
;friend and relative, Archibald Lan-
don," he chuckled irres.istibly,'"one of
he old Landons. That's why he's so
pat with; the lady; he's sure to get
o the dinner; be had- a grandfather!

Landon shook his head gloomily.
"Can't! It's made with Banks. I'm
in for it, but-" he turned a hard,
cold look on his companion -'"if you
trespass on this, I'll-"' he stopped.
something in Mark's look stayed him.
"I say," he added hurriedly, "you
may be all right; you look like a gen-
tlemen, I admit it, but I hate the
whole darned' business."
"Being a gentleman, I know you
co," Mark retorted grimly. "I'd as
"It's a bargain K I have nothing else to do."
I'm on the democratic side of the
l-ouse;,-I'm Teddy Banks, and she
doesn't like it. Sounds common, don't
you see, 'like mudbanks, eh? Now,
what's yours?"
Mark hesitated for the twentieth
part of a second, but his case was
ancient history, thele two young fel-
lows would not go back fifteen years;
still there might be others --:yet he
scorned a falsehood. "Mark Grant,"
he said.
As he had supposed, it conveyed
nothing.
"We'll change it for tonight," Banks
said, frowning and trying to think of
a name. "She doesn't care how tough
a fellow is if he's got some old name,
Dutch, Huenot, Colonial -some old
thing."
But Landon broke in again. "Mr.
Grant hasn't answered me. I'll throw
up' the sponge if he doesn't agree.
What do you say; sir?" he added
sharply, turning to hint, .
Mark threw back ,his head and look-
ed at him; there was a mocking little
devil in�-his eyes, he saw that the
P.M. young man, for all his blustering, did
notasee that he would be at a stran-
ger's mercy.. ,If the wager vias be-
trayed he would be„socially damded.
"I agree to go to the function and
behave like a gentlelan," he replied
and again he laughed; -'the situation

how he came there and why - went.
vnhi•te when he first saw Pamela Rod-
ney. The next moment Landon• was
reluctantly presenting hip to Mrs.
Lynn. Mark noticed that; he omitted
the words, "my friends," be said only,
"Stewart Byram," the name Teddy
Banks had given him.
He was aware of a handsome, world-
ly
orldly looking woman; her fide eyes seem
ed to appraiser him keenly, but her
manner was charmingly. She held,
out a gracious: hand. : '
"One of the . Utica .$gram's, I pre1
sums?" she said.
Mark bowed; he was only conscious
of the presence next to her, and that
be bated the .vq>;tole business!
"I know one of your taunts, I think,
said the suave voice .and•Mark curs,i
ed Teddy Banka for, playing some
trick on them. Then he, heard Mrs.'
Lynn again, "Pam, dear, let me pres-
ent a friend of Archie's, Stewart Byr-
am. Mr. Byram, my niece, Miss Rod-
ney."
Again Mark bowed. . -
Para had just passed Archie Lan-
don on to a young girl in pink, and
she turned with a radiant smile for
the newcomer. Mark scarcely heard
the words of her little conventional
greeting; he was listening to her
voice; it seemed as lovely as her face.
He had been too long in prison to
turn his tongue easily to social in-
anities, 'but he found something to
say to her.
I've been out of the gay world so
long I feel dumb," he told her, "but
Balaam's Ass spoke when the angel
stood in the way."
His bluntness caught her; sho
laughed delightedly.
"I wonder *here .you've been?" she
said; then she caught the fire that
played in his eyes- and .. flushed pret-
tily. "You look roman•tiieras if y,ou'd
journeyed far -in strange lands and
done-" she ,laughed again softly -
"strange deeds!"
"You're right," said Mark, "I've
been to Nomansland and lived in a
castle there."
Pam laughed bank at him, her eyes
shining. She was small and slender,
with an erect head and bright brown
hair. Mark thought he could lift her
with one hand, but she had a face like
a flower -some flower of his dreams.
"Did you slay the dragon?":she ask -
'd drolly.
No," he replied sturdily. "I've
come out to slay him now -or per-
ish,'
"Where will you find him? Here?"
She swept the crowded• room with
laughing eyes. '`In the ballroom? In
the conservatory?"
Mark followed her eyes and saw the
distant ballroom; they Were dancing
there; :beyond he glimpsed the screen-
ed aisles. of a conservatory. He, looked
back into her lovely flushed young
face. He could not keep her here,
guests were already crowding in; she
would be swept away from him.
"I haven't danced in fifteenyears,"
he said in a low voice; "few do in
Nomansland. lint -will you sit out
one dance with me -just one?"
"Not danced in fifteen years? she
breathed her quick surprise; it seem-
ed immensely long to her. "Why, I
was only six years .old." Then she,
blushed furiously; "you've made me
tell my age! Yes, I can give you
this dance; I kept it for Teddy Banks
and Archie Landon's just told me he
can't come-" She stopped short,
glancing aside at her aunt.
Mrs. Lynn, in the midst of new ar-
rivals, had turned to a. tall, gray -
headed man who had just taken his
place beside her. Mark stared at him.
He knew that profile, but he scarce-
ly knew the face. Could this old,
stooping, broken man he ^Burleson?
Fifteen years had wrought fearful
havoc; he looked' forty Years older.
Could it he•'the man? The man who
had testified against the boy of sev-
enteen?

Wright, Chief of Laboratory ,Services„
Plant -Production Division, Dominion
Department of Agriculture.. .
The production of all ' crops
:largely a -battle with weeds. Aa weed
compete with crops for ,water, .light
and the mineral nutrients' 'found in
the 'soil, the argument that a few
more weeds• cannot make any differ -
'once to the resulting crop shows a
lack of knowledge of the com»etition
whichthe crops have to meet in weed
infested fields.
s' Many farmers are inclined to ac-
cept such common weeds as lamb's
quarters, and pigweed as a matter of
course rather than consider them to
be serious weeds. If the quantity of
water required-) to •produce; one pound
of lamb's quarters in dried formis
compared with 'the amount necessary
to produce an equal quantity of oats
it will be found that lamb's quarters
make far more demand on the spit„
`tu%ture than the oat plant. Oats re-
tgiii-e '51/7 pounds of water" to make
'o ►•e,ipqund.of dry matter, while lamb's
quarters require 801 pounds,'
'Maty weeds require and use more
than]r4otiib10 as ranch nitrogen, phos -
pet i1e acid, potash, an a well develop-
ed oast plant.
' Weaeds increase the cost of labor,
'and 'egUiPtient, and greatly advance
`tile cost of preparing crop products
for either mineral or human consump-
tion.
-Weeds in cereals not only lower the
valued of . the ..grain but are hard on
machinery, and result in the use of
more .binder twine 'than is required to
harvest clean crops. They also har-
bor insect, pest and fungus diseases,
to say nothing of reducing land values.
Due to labor and other shortages
as a result of the war, farmers may
not be able to give the proper atten-
tion to the cultivation of their land
to control weeds, but they can be
sure that they do not aggravate the
situation by sowing seed containing
.^r
lief give it up as not, myself."
"Too late, we're at. the door!" Lan-
don waved his walking -stick toward
the long striped caterpillar awning
stretched across the pavement' from
Ft fine house on the corner.
Mark looked' it over curiously; it
looked like a monument of dollars.
"So, that's it?" .
Landon nodded. "That's Burleson's;
Mrs. Lynn receives for him; he's her
brother-in-law, a widower, no chil-
dren, he's the guardian of his wife's
niece, that's all."
Mark said nothing, but he was
aware that Landon gave him another
uneasy look, then they entered the
awning and fell into 'line with the
guests who were already ascending
the carpeted steps; a' few were com-
ing out; thing were going in. Archie
was greeted here and there as they
went up to the wide open door. He
seemed to have many friends; some
stopped for a word, but Mark noticed
that he was not presented and smiled
a little to himself. But his thoughts
were busy; he knew Burleson, had
lr,,nown him well as a boy. Would the
great man• remember the seventeen-
year -old lad he htd heiped'end to
prison? Mark thought not, but if he
did -Teddy Batiks would lose his wa-
ger! ,

Procure the •best possible seed of
whatever crops you intend to sow,.
urges Mr. Wright. When purchasing.
seed be - sure.. to procure Grade 1. The
grade should be marked on a con--
tainer or label. It is advisable not to
wait until spring to procure your seed.
Operate With Care -
Battery -run radios, which are found'
on many farms, and in many • towns
and villages across Canada, should be
operated with care, and given all the
attention possible, so that replace-
ments will not become neceasary-
Sim le cenifor'vati n rules, 0 which
are 'easy to folld-v, • are given' by Con-
sumer Inforhatien Servace and will
as'saire the longest =possible life. It'
would be a. pity if some df Canada's'
favorite programs --were "blacked -out"'
for individual, fanlllies•by carelessness
and inattention to ;radio- sets.
Batteries should not be wasted. By'
this is meant that 'the radio should be
operated only 'when there are pro-
grams .on the -air •which are -being • lie:
tened to by the •••family. •
Long, continuous" radio operation
should be avoided. Instead, reception
can' be broken up into a number of
shorter periods.
Batteries should be kept strictly
away from heat.
As insurance against battery wast-
age, the radio should be checked regu-
larly for weak and faulty tubes.
When not in operation it is a good
idea to have the batteries disconnect-
ed. This is an extra check against the
radio being left on accidentally .and
where there .are youngsters it is also
a guard against the unnecessary op-
eration of the radio. _ '
