As Julie waved Ann to a chair, she herself caught up that well -frosted shaker and poured. two bobble -tele glasses, offering one to Ann, retaining the other as she sank into a deeply cushion- ed ushioned green and white chair. She chattered tor k moment, almost feverishly, and Ann waited, growing ,more ,and mere puzzled. It was evident that Julie was laboring under some suppressed excitement; her eyes were fever- ishly 'bright and •behi;nd the deft make-up her face was unhealthily -flushed. "Well," said Julie, leaning back in her chair, one hand dropping down to tbe cushion .beside her, the other holding her cigarette, "and swhatievalh. this, bright "gossip I hear about town? You and 'Lyn Fre,•thier' • and;stuff?" "Tbe formal announcement has. been made and the date set -so it's scarcely -bright gossip," Ann answered her quietly. "But you're not going to marry him, Ann," Julie said so quietly, so evenly that for a second Ann ddd not quite realize what she was- say- ing. "So you might as well begin thinking of a good, face-saving rea- son for announcing the breaking of the engagement." Ann put down her cocktail glass on the ,glass -topped coffee table and said gently, "I think you'll have to explain that, Julie." "Oh, I intend to! That's why I asked you out here," said Julie, and now that she shad broached the subject, she spoke freely, al- most eagerly. "You're not going to marry Lyn, because he's my pro- perty+ -is that clear enough?" • Ann was still for a long moment feeling a great distaste for the un- pleasant scene that was shaping up,• heartily wishing herself out of it, yet unwilling to turn tail and run until it was over. ' "So •then the gossip about the way Dan happened to get himself shot was true,." she commented. Julie caught her breath and her eyes widened, almost with terror. "Dan shot him.self," she panted. "Accidentally-" "And then wiped all the finger- prints off the gun? Because the fingerprints had been wiped off, you know," Ann reminded her. "How - how did you know that-" Julie's voice faltered. "After all, Julie,. -r Worlteon a newspaper, you know," Ann re- minded her dryly. Julie, her tongue touching her dry lips with a little darting mo- tion, whispered, "Lyn didn't shoot Dan." - Startled, Ann said, "I never for a moment thought he did. 1 felt from the first that. it"was you who did it." • "All right," said Julie at last, her voice husky, so faint that Ann had to strain to hear her. "All right -'I shot Dan. I -didn't mean to.. He was furious because . I'd been out with Lyn-'-he-accused me of being in love with Lyn -and I lost my head and admitted - that we were lovers-" Ann caught her breath on a little audible gasp, and Julie's eyes, bright with malice, feverish and somehow ugly, slued around to her and Julie chuckled. "So now you see why you've got to break your engagement to Lyn -and right away," said Julie. Ann said quietly, "I hardly see what right you have to order me about. Julie-" .,ulie's hand came out of the cushions where it had rested, and Julie came to her feet almost in a single fluid, strangely feline move- ment, and wide-eyed and incredu- lous, Ann saw the soft i•Ight leap away, as though frightened, from the thing Julie held in her "hand. The squat, ugly, blue -nosed auto - l natio that was pointing directly at Ann's heart, from a distance of three feet away. Ann knew that death looked straight at her from SOLUTION.

But Julie's menacing ,gesture pushed her back and. Julie s soft, pain -wracked voice said sharply, "Sit still, Ann -the guard's off this gun -it'll fire it I just prees 'my, finger the least 'little bit--and'-I couldn't this hitting your hearte from here-" And then the .front door opened and closed .and there was 'a gay treble of laughter and the, Patter of childish feet in the hall - Julie's rigid . body jerked as thoug=h she had been a woodere doll in the handeof an awkward puppeteer; the hand that held,`it1a0 gun dropped so that the ugfy blue -nosed thing was hidden in the folds of the peacock -green -blue brocade housecoat; and through the door came a scampering child, laughing, crowing with delight aa she evaded the middle-aged, white. clad nurse who followed her. The child flung herself on. Julie with a little whoop of delight and -bur- rowed burrowed her flushed face in the folds of Julie's- housecoat.

The child, sensitives as children invariably are to the queer be- havior that sometimes makes ter- rifying strangers out of the most beloved adults, looked up at her mother and shrank a little 'as the nurse came in to pick her up, "Come along, Bab;:," .said .the nurse tenderly, her voice gentle and soothing though her eyes were angry. "Supper time -- the dollies will be wanting their nice baked apples." ' She carried the child out of the room, her very back rigid with her sense of outrage, her stiffly starch- ed skirts with indignation. Aun was on her feet now, breathing again. moving again; realizing that the child had un- doubtedly saved her life; oecause there had been no mistaking the madness that had leered from Julie's eyes in that split-second when her finger had' constricted a little on the trigger of the gun - and the child's voice had been heard. Julie looked at Ann with a daz- ed, bewildered expression, as though wondering who she was. As though she came 'slowly and. reluctantly from the grip of some hideous nightmare, The °revolver slipped from her hand to :he beige -colored carpet; 'and Julie collapsed like a, 11011 out of which the sawdust is slowly pouring. She went down until she sat hud- dled on the floor, her face hidden against the sage -green cushions, her thin shoulders !shaking con-' vulsive1 '. Ann stood for a moment, look- ing at her helplessly. But there was nothing she could do; nothing she could say that would ease the grip Julie's private devil had ua.,rl her; and so Ann turned- and went out of the house and into the warm summer rain and walked a block before she realized that it was raining. Her knees were jelly, and she paused and clung to the friendly trunk of a slim young tree, shak- ing so that but for the tree's sup-, port, she could not have stood. She shivered in the warm, misty summer rain and felt as though an icy 'wind had swept over her. And she knew a feeling of sharp pity for Julia, as well as a quite na- tural distaste for her. ' She huddled there beneath the scant shelter of the little tree and when her bus finally came, she stumbled a little getting on it and was grateful that it was packed with tired people who paid her no heed at all, as she availed herself of a strap, and tried to adjust her tired body to the swinging and jerking of the big -bus as it lum- bered on its way. Ann was still white and strain- ed when she got home from the afternoon's episode with Julie. And there was still Lyn -to cope with. When -he arrived to take her to dinner, ahe''met -him in the hall. As he reached for her. she evaded him, and the shadowy old hall let him see her taut, drawn face. He said sharply, "Why. darling, what is wrong? You're ill-" He watched Ann, puzzled and frowning, and demanded, "Here, what is all this?

Calves- with rickets, due to lack of vitamin D, have been complete- ly, cured by eating sun -cured hay and -by being exposed to the sun. The use of chemicals to control plant pests is largely a develop- ment of the last half century. Before 1900 the ravages of insect pests were taken: for.gettetetleend insect outbreaks were regarded as competitors about which there was little that could be done. In 1867 Paris green was used against the Colorado potato beetle with suc- cess, but it was to be another 30 years or so before the use of in- secticides and fungicides became an integral part of agricultural production. - mysterious, all of a sudden." Ann faced hint, erect, her head up, her eyes cold. "I -had tea with Julie Barton this afternoon, Lyn," she said lev- elly. Lyn looked ever so faintly start- led. If she had had for one mo- ment the slightest doubt of his guilt in the Barton matter -though of course she hadn't since her scene with Julie -that doubt 4vould have died, in the swift look :hat was almost consternation that flickered for a moment n his eyes and then was gone. And then his jaw set hard and his eyes became cold and wary. "Oh?" he said- politely, tapping a cigarette on his nail, before lighting it. "That must have been fun." ^'Not exactly," answered Ann evenly. "She -tried to kill me." Lyn dropped the cigarette and stared at her in shocked disbelief, before he rallied and said scoff- ingly, "Oh, t'or Pete's sake, Ann -I admit Julie's• a neurotic female - but surely you don't take her hys- terics seriously?" "1 do when they're hacked up by a very businesslike looking auto- matim_aianed straight at my heart from a distance of aboult four feet and with a ' very nervous finger quivering around the trigger," Ann told him, and shivered a little as her words brought the unpleasant memory- .too close for comfort. "I wanted. to believe you, Lyn - hut -1 r.an't, any more. Not after what Julie -meant to do this af- ternoon and -what she told me," Ann said. Lyn hesitated the barest instant before he asked, with an assump- tion of merely casual interest. "And what did she tell you?" "That -you were. lovers." Ann let him have it ,baldly and flatly. Lyn hesitated. For a moment it looked as though he might deny it, but before he could. Ann went on swiftly, "And of course I know' she told the truth -otherwise, she wouldn't have"`wanted to kill me." Lyn said after a moment, his- tone remote, polite, "And so?" Ann's head went up and her eyes were as cold- as his, "And so our engagement is off, of course -• what else did you think?" she told him harshly. "I'm -sorry as the dickens, Aan- I-don't suppose you will believe OAS either, but it's God's ,own truth,. I do love you, Ann. And," he persisted doggedly, "you are the only woman 1 ever wanted to marry." "Thanks," said Ann dryly, "I'nr afraid, the competition would be more than I can stand!" • (Continued Next Week) Weak, Tired, Nervous, Pepless Men, Woinen Get New Vim, Vigor, Vitality Pay goodbye to those weals. always tired feelings, depresalen and nervousness due to \vests. thin blood.
