gone?" Ronnie had told her mother-in. law that she would content

without company. As a matter of fact, however she had a good deal of it. Her neighbors dropped in on her more and more frequently, and though they never stayed long because they sensed her reluct- ance to sit apart from Welby. she felt their friendliness. was especially true in the case of Dib- ncy Turborville. His father had been American Ambassador to Great Britain, and his early life had been spent almost entirely in England, where he had hunted from his youth. Now that he had returned to hi5 native heath, he spent most of his time in the same way, living in lonely state at a fine old place named Sycamore Forest. He drank very little. But he loved to sit in front of e fire. nursing a glass from which he barely sipped. and toasting his polished boots on the fender. He was not a talkative man, and when he did speak, his oonversat~ ion centered almost entirely on hunting topics. But his silences were warm and unstrained, and he brought the atmosphere of fresh fie ds and frosty air into the house with him. He gave Veroni- que a sense of permanence and in- vigoration.

On the tenth of March, when the lawn was already studded with crocuses, and Jonquil: were shoot- ing up in the bare beds bordering the grass, there was a sudden un- seasonable snowstorm. Veronique. caught in it during the course of a walk, stopped long enough to

ok a few of the brave little bios- some, and brought them to Welby with the snow still on their petals and great flakes of it on her dark hair. He looked at her with ad- miration mingled with fond con- cern. as she arranged them around the room. She was still laughing, as if something had amused her very much. “I'm going to telephone Dr. Foster, Welby."

“Now?"

"Yes, now. But I'll be back. Don't worry."

It was not until after midnight that she finally left his room for good. In the intervening hours she had been back and forth, Put- ting things 1n righ , giving inal orders, making final arrangements. Welby wn comfortably drowsy fn the meanwhile. en she leaned over him for the last time to kiss him good night as usual, was smiling. "The door may be closed for Just a little while, Welby. but it won't be for long. Now you must et some sleep be- cause it's very ate. Is there any- thing special you want to say mo before I go?"

"Yes, Ronnie. Something very epecial,’ I want to say I love you

dearly.

“And there's something very special I want to say to you, Welby. I love you dearly too.’

It was not a good night kiss that they gave each other. It was a kiss that meant they were pledg- ed for all eternity.

Welby must have slept ly than at any time since the accdent. When ho began fo at last, he drifted beck into semi- sliunber and then info semi-wake- fulness easily several times. It was very still. room. he knew. his nurse must he sitting watching over hkn. At last he became aware that daylight had come, and he realized. wi h a pang what had happened. when turned his head, he saw that the door leading into Veronique’: rocm was open. It had been open when he went to sleep, so he had never seen it shut.

Beyond the door he could see Veronique's bed and Veronique lying on it. Her color was gone now and her smile. The silence deep- en , and a great fear clutched at his heart. Then as if had called her, Veronique open eyes and spoke to him.

"We have a beautiful boy, Wei- by. He's having his first bath now, and then he'll be in to see you. He's big and stronl. you'll be delighted with him. And, my, but you ll be proud the first time you see him on a horsel"

CHAPTER VII

Before they left for Europe in the SDPIHB. Isabel and Helen motor- ed to Hunter's Green w see Ver- onique and the baby. It was Isabel who Bllsscsted it. and when her note arrived, Veronique answers it cordially and prom tly. But she had utill not reach the point where she felt impelled to take the initiative in seeking companionship. Her da s were so crowded that she lived t rough them as she could and as they came, without clutter- ing them any further.

en the little boy was a few weeks old, she dismissed t1e nurse whom she had found the ass cap- s of the two. remindng Dr. Foster that she had intended all along. to help take care of Welbv herself as soon as she could. In fact, by fall she meant to assume the entire responsibility for the care of both her husband and her

Child.

"You'll never be able to do it. never in the world". Dr. Foster told h" _P'-fll>l"1l-1°fl1ly. "It can't he done. You ll nczle:t on: or the other or

else kill yourself. . “I shan't do anything of the

Plants are mostly propagated by spores, by seeds. and by 0MB!”- The most important methods ' of propagation on the farm are by spores, seeds, and by several meth- ods of division, such as creeplnfl stems and root-stocks. tubers. cut- ymu, buds and grafts. Nearly all economic plants are propagated by

mg n5 0 seeds.

Sllores differ from seed-s lri that they do not contain an embryo, or young plant. They are usually one-celled, or few-celled and mic- . Only the lower orders of plants fonn spores. The rua margins on the underside of fern leaves contain spores.

Corn smut, oat smut. oat rust. are masses of spores. This method of propagation is not of great direct importance in agriculture, because only a few plants are o! use to us.

But spores are of great import- ance when we consider P15" <11!- eases, for nearly all such diseases are caused by plants that repro-

duce spores. The following plants produce

seeds.

All the perennial grasses increase by new stems or cuims that arise from the joints that are near the ground. or low it. More often I branch comes out more or less horizontally, either above or be- low the ground, takes root at its joint. and sends up one or mow stems. Such a branch growing below the ground is called a root» stock. It is probable that ell grass plants would die after the forma- tion of seed were it not for this means of reproduction. The plant that grows from a joint ap- parently forms seed but once. But it may produce rootstocks or root- ing branches md so continue the
