But it was a quiet dinner, After they had left the table Harry succeed- ed in getting Lucy to come and talk with him in the reception room, and there he begged her to be patient un- til he felt that the time had arrived for him to make a clean breast of everything to her. At last he coaxed back the smiles to her face, but only after giving his word of honor that so far as he was concerned, the presence of Daphne in his house was not a re- flection upon him. Meanwhile the Count, endeavoring to keep his promise to get Harry out of the scrape, slipped out into the lawn, and by throwing pebbles against the window of the room where Mrs. Blazes was attracted her attention. She opened the windows, and in an almost hysterical voice, begged him to get her out. “I vill, iff you only be quiet,” the Count sald. “Your husband chust vent in. [ saw him ven I come out.” “But what can I do?” she asked. “Trust me!” “l did,” she sighed, “and lost my hat” “Yess, und I let you haff my ring, too,” “Bother your old ring!” she an- swered. “I'll give it back to you. 1 hate the sight of it!" “GIff it to me, den,” the Count whis pered, eagerly. “I will,” she hesitated, “when I get out of here.” The Count swiftly disappeared from view as the front door opened and Harry and the General came down the steps. The General's arm was across Harry's shoulders. “My boy,” he was saying, “I couldn'’t belp coming back to assure you that I am deeply sorry.” “Say no more about it, General,” begged. “But, Harry,” the General asked, confidentially, “how did that little flirt happen to be in that room?” “Well,” Harry explained, “that was a little affair concerning her and Count von Fitzs. I don't feel at liberty to go into details—but it's just a filn tation, you might say.” “She's a charmer, all right enough, Harry, my boy!” the General sald. “Ah! It my wife only knew—if she ever found out how I have flirted with some of these dashing damsels!” Mrs. Blazes, from the safety of her window, listened intently. “What?" Harry asked. General?” “I'm deep, Harry, devilish deep! 1 say nothing, but I saw a lot of wood. Don’t worry about any little flirtations of your own. Come to me for advice it you meed it. Everybody must sow his wild oats, you know.” “Yes,"” Harry agreed, “but the wild oats you sow the night before don’t make good breakfast food the morn- Ing after.” Good fences==and lots of them-- will grow money for you. Fence off your farm into a sufficien number of fields to get the proper rota- tion of crops and the most advantageous pastur- ing. and your cash returns each season are hound to increase. At the same time fences are an asset, as they add greatly to the value of any farm, We sell good fence—made heavy and strong to last. The prices are very reasonable. We invite you to call and see us.

She leaned out of the window and called to Harry. He glanced up at her and smiled wearily. “How In the world am I to get out of here?” she asked, petulantly. “I think I'll have that run as a pus- tle in the Sunday papers,” Harry an- swered, grimly. “I'll say this, though: When you do get out you needn't be too punctilious about making your pacty call” *“This is no time for joking—" “It's the only time I've got. You've put me in a pretty mess.” “I'm just as sorry as I can be, Mr. Swifton.
