his outstretched hand and went out,
alone, shaken from head to foot with
an emotion that seemed to tear at
her heart. She hated Nancy. She
blamed it on. Nancy. But. for Nancy
she would have had his love to 'heal
the cruel' wound she had inflicted on
her: own:; heart,
of a clear sky, the bolt fell.
She had married Morgan against
her will, she had married him, secret-
ly, and she refused to confess her mo-
tives.

nails biting deep into the palms of

But she did not know it. Stinging

proachful eyes, uncheered, even by
letters from Roddy, home was intol-
erable to Nancy. As soon as the hurt,

she went out again, and she met
Page. He was always lying in wait
for her in his hours of leisure.
Bravely Nancy neared her own
home. But she got no farther than
the back door, when all the misery

climax. She crumpled up against the
door -post.
"Mandy!" she cried faintly.
"I declar' ter goodness!" The
colored woman, strong and broad-
shouldered as a man, stooped and
picked the girl up. "Dere—cyo' keep

"Yo' wait, Miss Nancy; 3 reckon
I can fix you up, as good as a dot-

Naney, cuddling down in' the old
pillows with her first feeling of re-
lief, smiled. "It's been already Man,
dy; Dr. Morgan's bandaged it."
Mr. Gordon had just come from the
bank, his day's work done, and he
had some papers in his hand. He had,
in fact, succeeded in selling out some
old shares in a copper mine. - Ile would

other five hundred. He was half way
to the centre -table before he discov-

ing at her over the tap 'of his spec-

"I hurt my ankle — twisted it =-

looking down at her kindly.
"Which ankle? Whereabouts did

Naney blushed. "Richard band-

left Angie Fuller's.: He saw me fall,

"ho's bound it up."
Her father eyed her shrewdly, "In
the field? Nancy, you were running
away from Morgan?"
Her eyes fell under his, and she

"Look here, Helena, this won't do,"
he spcke kindly, with genuine con-
cern. "Do you know. I ought to tell
King "
"King!" She sat up, turning the
blaze of angry eyes on him. "Why
King? He's thinking of nothing --
of no one—but his new racehorse he
got from Lomax. He and the grooms
are at him day and night, getting
hint in shape. .He's to race next
month. King cares more to have
that horse win for him—or to win
himself in a golf' tournament, than
he cares for my soul!"
She rose from her chair and went
to the window. Helena was winking
back hot tears. She had seen Rich-
ard's face as he looked at Nancy, and
every instinct of her nature leaped
up into furious jealousy.
"Richard, I'm wretched what's
the use of, lying? . King and I hate
each other cordially—I—" she cov-
ered her face with her hands.
Richard stood still; a shock of her, winced miserably. He sat down in an

He drew her hands into his. He
made her sit down,
"For Heaven's sake, Iielena,

yourself—you'll be ill;. indeed."
She caught the note in his voice
and she laughed, suddenly and wildly,
"I'd better die,' she said. "Why
don't you say so, Richard?"
He flushed darkly, still ' holding
her hand. "Helena, I'm King's
friend, his physician; hetrusts me.
In God's name, what can I say? It
can't be as bad as that!" he groan-

But Iielena felt the chill of his sil-

looking at him a little wildly.
"Go and tell her!" she panted fur-
iously. "Go and tell her I cane' to

But she :continued to laugh wildly,

He felt her start of amazement
and fancied it was one of relief, She
did not look up; she seemed to be
considering his question.

telling people I'm married?"
"You might—there'd be some talk

it might be suppressed'a good deal if.

Nancy stifled sharply, averting her
face, She remembered Richard's cry:
"I swear it, I won't give you up!"
She drew herself upon the couch,
clasping her arms about her knees, a
huddled figure. "3 shan't ask for a
divorce -I did it 'nyself, Papa and
I've got to stand it!"
He turned and looked tat her; and
she saw the tears in bis eyes.
"Good for you, Nancy!" he said,

He was holding, her silently when

emotion of a few moments ago was
lost in the wrath of his discovery.
"You're flirting with that Roemer
boy still! He's been at the, phone --
thought I was out! Naitcy I'm ash
anted of you."
She said nothing, still huddled on
the lounge, her knees cradled in her
arms.
"You said you wouldn't get a di-

rising anger. "What d'you 'mean?'
You can't play fast and loose with

sinking. She had had no word of any
kind from Roddy. •
Nancy and Page walked steadily
out on the old river road. There was
a pungent fragrance in the very air.
Nancy drew a long breath. "How
peaceful it is out here! What abeau-
tiful world, Page."
He did not answer. Hate, that was
worlcing in his heart against Richard,
was suddenly swept aside by love.
She looked so beautiful today.
They had walked a long way now
and suddenly she realized it. She
hesitated, looking about her.
"Where are we going, Page?"
"We're goingto the end of the
rainbow, Nancy."
She laughed faintly, startled, look-
ing
ooking at him now, her eyes wide with
surprise. •
"We shan't find a treasure there,"
she said sadly: "it lookslike a storm:
We'd better turn back."
He caught her hand and held it
fiercely,
"Nancy, will you come on with me,
or will you turn back to him?"
She steed still, and, instead of
blushing, she turned white and her
lips tightened.
"Don't ask ane," she said faintly,
"don't ,talk of it now --I was happy
here.' Let me be happy for a little
while, Page. I've . been -so' miser-
able!"
They walked on silently, Nancy
was trying not to think. She drew
long breaths of the fresh sweet wind
that had risen suddenly.As suddenly
the sun had gone out and a purple
black cloud was rolling up on then.
It had an effect once glorious and
terrifying, for it was torn with jag-
ged flashes of lightning, and the edge
of it curled like the froth of the sea.
Nancy loved it; it had no terrors
for her, the very fury of it helped her
lift up her soul. Then a rush of
wind came, torn leaves whipped about
them, the rain began to fall in great
drops.
"Came --{we'll have to go into the
inn over there," he said briskly,
"you:11 get wet, Nancy."
Nancy yielded to his guidance and
ran across the lane into the old tav-
ern that had been made into a road-
house for the convenience of summer
motorists.
The inn dining -room was long and
barren, with here and there a group
of small tables. As .yet there were
but few summer,. visitors. . Only a
few people were in the room, driven
in by th coming storm.
"You'll take something, Nancy,
just for form's sake. People notice

wife, too! The storm must have dri-
ven thein in, too. I•Ie's been down to

Their alcove isolated' them. Page
put his hand out suddenly and laid it
over hers.,

"Too late? What do you mean,'
Page?,,. `
"I know what to do. Trust me,
She shivered, shaking her head. "1
Nancy, let me—set you free!"
"Free?" she sighed. "Oh, Page, if
I could only be free -as I used to be!"
"You can be — you shall he!" he
said in a 'choked voice. "Naney, I
adore you—I won't give you up, I
swear it, he shan't have you."
She did not look at him now. "He
won't let me get it," she said faintly,
"he won't give me up."
"You can make him give you up,"
he said in a voice of smothered pas-
sien.
She shivered, shaking her head. "I
can't see . how—.he's like granite,
Page. I can't make him yield."
"You can!"
The .girl lifted her head and look-
ed at him questioningly.
"Come to me," said Page thickly,
passionately. "I love you—you love
me. Conte to me, Nancy, we can go
away from it altogether. He'll know
it's useless then. He'll get a divorce."
She stared at him innocently, be-
wildered.
"What do you mean, Page "
He bent nearer, his face flushed,
his eyes, glowing, love triumphant and
determined and unscrupulous, love
without pity or remorse. He was sure
of her now. •
"Come to me, I said," he panted,
"come now—today let us go away
together. The world's a big place. He
can't follow us. We love each other.
We have a right to our love—he has
robbed us. It's like life—love is life
—we'll be together—and Morgan"—
he laughed wildly—+"Morgan will get

WHEAT
Wheat, it appears, is 'a seed that is
planted and grown to keep the pro-,.
ducer broke, and the buyer crazy. It
is planted in the spring, mortgaged in
the summer, and lost in the fall. .Its
quality varies according to the a.
mount of rain or frost experienced
during the growing season, A man
who can guess nearest to this quality
is called a wheat grader by the public
and a Gosh Dam Fool by the farmer,
The price of wheat is determined at
primary markets, and goes down
when one has bought, and up when
one has sold.
All this reminds us of the story 'of
th'e buyer who, working for a group
of millers from the. 'East, came west
to watch the wheat market. After a
few days of deliberation he wired his
principals to this effect:
"Some think wheat will go up, same
think it will go down. I think so too,
Whatever you do will be wrong. Act
at once."
Now that you know all about
wheat, go into mixee farming.

Little grains of wheat,

VOLTAIRE AND COCOA
Chocolate and cocoa, of which an-

brought to Canada from the West
Indies, were first drunk by Monte -

Spanish conquest, authorities claim.
Voltaire and other Frenchmen then
adopted the drink, which had pre-
viously been regarded as a drug.
They eliminated the spices that had
usually accompanied a cup of cocoa.
Then the English introduced milk as
an ingredient. But it was not until
the 19th century that chocolate and
