I use we word thrust, for I noted the crip of his hand on her arm, yet In truth she Instantly stepped forward herself, her bearing In no way devoid of pride and dignity, ner ncari held erect, her eyes fearless ly seeking the face of Klrby. Their glances met, nnd Mie advanced to tho table, the light of the swinging lamp full upon her. The Impression sho made Is with me yet. Hers was a refined, patrician face, crowned by a wealth of dark hair. Indignant eyes of hazel brown, shadowed by long lashes, brightened a face whitened by Intense emotion, nnd brought Into agreeable contrast flushed cheeks nnd red, scornful lips. A dimpled chin, a round, full throat, nnd the figure of young womanhood, slender and yet softly curved, altogether formed a pic ture so entrancing as to never again desert my Imagination. With "one bound my heart went oul to 'her In sympathy, In admiration, In full nnd complete surrender. Ilnfnro T rnniri change posture, almost before 1 could draw fresh breath, her vo'ec. trcm- 'bllng slightly with an emotion she was unable wholly to sopprcss, yet sounding clear as a bell, addressed the man confronting her. "May I ask, sir, what this outrage means? I presume you ore respon sible for the Insolence of this fellow who brought me here?" Klrby laughed but not altogether at ease. "Well, not altogether." he answered, "as his methods are entirely his own. I merely told him to go after you." "For what purpose?" "So pretty a girl should not ask that. Carver, close the door and wait outside." 1 could mark the quick rise and fall of her bosom and the look of fear sho was unable to disguise. Yet not a limb mored as the door closed, nor did the glance of those brown eyes waver. "'ou are not the same man I met before," she began doubtlngly. "He said he was connected with the slier IjTk office. Who aro yon?" "My name Is Klrby; the sheriff Is here under ray orders." "Klrby! the the gambler?" "Well, I play cards occasionally, and you have probably heard of me be fore. Even If you never had until to alght It Is pretty safe to bet that you do now." "I know," Bhe admitted, "that you won this property at cards and have now come to take possession, la that what you mean?" "That, at least, Is part of It," nnd he took a step toward her, his thin lips twisted Into n smile. "Hut not nil. Perhaps Donaldson failed o tell you the rest, and lcftme to break the news. Well, It won't hurt me any. Not only this plantation Is mine, but every nigger on It na well. You aro Jleno Heuuealre?" "yes." hho replied, slowly, almost under her breath, nnd hesitating ever so slightly, "I am Jtene Ileuurnlre." "And you don't know what that means, I suppose?" ho Insisted sav nicely, angered by her eoolniuui. "Per haps the sheriff did not explain this. Do you know who and wlmt you are?" She rested one hand on the table In support, nnd I could note tho nervous trembling of tho fingers, yet her low voice reinnjned strangely firm. "I know," she snld distinctly, "I utn no longer u free white wonian; I um .u negro and u slave," "Oh, you know that, do you? Then you must also bo uwuro that you are my properly, Perhaps it will be well for you to remember this In answer ing my questions. Now tell mo who Informed you of all this?" "I cannot answer."

"To serve tho necessary papers, of cnurM'." He sim)Kc incuutloudy, urged on by his temper, and I marked how quickly her face brightened at this Intelli gence. "To serve papers! They must be served, then, before before you can tnke possession? Thnt Is what I un derstood the sheriff to say. Then I am not really your slave yet?" her voice ticopenlug with rnmcstnesi nud understanding. "Oh, so that Is how It Is even If I am n negro I do not belong to jou until thoe papers have been served. It you touch me now you break the law. I may not be free but I am free frctn you. I am glad to know that I "And d n little rood It U pntnr to. do you," he growled. "Sheriff or no sheriff, my beauty, you are going to St. Louis with me tonight; so I ad vise you to keep a grip on thnt tongue of yours. Ho you think I am going to be foiled altogether by a technical point of Inw? Possession Is the main thing, and I have you where you can't get away. You hear me?" She had not moved, although her form had straightened nnd her hand no longer rested on tho table. Klrby had stepped cloe In front of her, Id ejes glowing with anger, his evident Intention being to thus frighten the girl Into compliance with his wishes, but her eyes, defiant nnd unafraid, looked him squarely In the face. "I certainly hear," she replied calmly. "Your voice N sulllelently distinct. I am a slave. I sunnoxe. and in your power; hut I despise you, hate jou and you are not going to tnke me to St. Louis tonight." "What can stop me? The sheriff? Puh! a few dollars will take care of blm. The Judge Is a friend of mine." "It Is not the sheriff nor the Judge; I pluce reliance ou no friend of yours." He grasped at her arm, but she stepped back quickly enough to avoid contact, and the red lips were pressed together in n thin line of determina tion. Her bond had suddenly disap peared within the folds of her skirt; but the angry inan, apparently blinded by the violence of his passion, his eagerness to crush her spirit, thought only that she counted on outside uld for deliverance. "You silly little fool." he snanncd. his mustache bristling. "Why, what could you do to stop me? T could break your neck with one hand. So you Imagine someono Is going to save you. Well, who will It be? Those yofcels down at tho Landing? Haines the lawyer? You have a surprise up your sleeve for me, I suppose I H 11 It makes me laugh ; but you might as well have your lesson now as any other time. Come here, you wench!" He caught her arm this time, bru tally Jerking her toward him, but as Instantly staggered buckwurd, grasp ing at the table, the flash of auger In his eyes changing, to a look of sturtlcd surprise. A pistol was leveled full In his fnce, the polished black barrel shining ominously In the light of tho overhead lamp. "Now perhaps you know what I mean," she snld. "If you dare to touch me I vlll kill you like n dog. Thnt Is no threat; It Is true as find's gos pel," anil the very tone of her voire carried conviction. "You may say I am a slave your slave! That mar be so, but you will never possess me never! Life means nothing to me any more, and I never expect to go out of this house nllve; I do not even care to. So I am no! afnld of yon. Do not drop your arms, you low-lived cur, for you have never been nearer death In all your miserable life than- you are now. God knows I want to kill you; It Is the one desire of my heart at this moment to fid the earth of such a beast. Hut 111 give you one chance Just one. Don't you dare call out or answer me. Do what I say. Now step back back along tho table; that's It, a step at n time. Oh, I knew you were a cowardly bully.

ITer eyes dilated wllh sudden aston ishment nnd terror. Sho hnd caught sight of me, emerging from tho black shadow Just behind her victim. Klrby also perceived tho quick change In tho lace ironiuig mm, rend its expression of fright, and sought to twist his head so as to learn the truth.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of ARrlcuIturc) Ilccause of tho Imimrtanco of eco nomical feeding In profitable sheen raising, mo milieu state department of agriculture direct special attention to opportunities for growing forage crops as n feed for Inmb and ewes. Early spring pasturages of wheat nr rye mny be used nt the start. These provide succulent grceu feed appetis ing to the ewes and Inttihs, Overpns turlng, however, must bo avoided when theso crops are Inter to be used for grain. Where It Is possible to keep the rye or whent pasture about 14 to two Inches high, tho Iambi any) ewes seem to relish It more and will consume larger amounts. Oats and Canadian field peas may be sown together en fly In the spring at the rate of l',4 bushels or ueiti peas and l hushels of oats to the acre. This crop should then be ready when II Is lime to take the flock off tho rye or wheat. N Ilnpc, another good forage crop, mny be sown nt the rate of six to eight pounds an acre, and will provide Inter pasturage, following tho onts and Ca nadian field peas, lu sections where soy beans nnd cowpeas grow satisfac torily they furnish an excellent mid summer pasture.
