Lynn Morrow, beautiful bionde New York
girl, is stranded in Palm Beach in her
! bathing suit with on!y 50 cents when her
I empioyer. Mrs. Helen Warren, disappears
! with car and traiier from a camp where
; she. Buddy, her son. and Lynn had been
) living. A note from Mrs. Warren advises
Lynn to ca!i at her New York attorney s
office for her ciothes and wages. She is
j rescued by Terry McNair, whom she met
;atthebeach. She goes to his home, where
! he has a maid provide her with some of
his sister's evening clothes. They then go
j to a beach ciub. His sister appears and a
! quarrel ensues. Lynn accepts the help of a
stranger to escape. He takes her to his
home where he identifies himself as Ray-
j mond (Wild) Austin. He accuses her of
} trying to blackmail him. Greatly incensed.
Lynn flees. Stopping at a coffee shop, she
) meets a young artist, Rene Bouchier. who
! is returning to New York by trailer and of-
fers to take her there. They enjoy roughing
it along the road. She finds Rene to be a
decent sort of a fcliow. Lynn tells Rene her
story. He knows McNair and Austin as
moneyed playboys. The car breaks down.
They are forced to stay at the Lovell farm-
house during repairs, the Lovells believing
them newlyweds.
CHAPTER V—Continued
—5—
When Rene came in later Lynn
Was still laughing.
"Wasn't it priceless?"
"It was! I begin work tomorrow."
"Are you serious?"
"I was never more serious in my
life." He siumped on to the sofa.
"Lynn, that car's a mess. Just
about everything is wrong with it.
The last guy who tinkered with it
certainly fixed it! The bill is going
to be at least $10. That will take
ail our cash."
"Oh, Rene!"
"Now don't worry. The old boy
said he'd give me $3 if I'd paint the
garage two coats. I can do it in two
days."
"But, Rene—"
"We'll manage somehow."
"Rene—" Lynn did not know how
to begin.
"I know what you're going to say.
Yes, he thought we were married,
and I let him think so. I never
dreamed we'd be stuck here. There
was nothing else to do, Lynn. They'd
never understand."
"I don't suppose anybody else
would, either."
"Of course, they would, if they
knew you!" Lynn then suggested
she write to Mrs. Warren's lawyer
and ask for her money.
"Maybe I should tell him to wire
it? What do you think?"
"It will cost money to do that.
! but maybe it is better than being
stranded."
So that is the way it was left.
Mortimer was to wire the money to
Lynn to the Western Union office
in Lu Lu, the nearest town.
Bright and early the next morn-
ing Rene was up and at his paint-
ing. Lynn waited until the hired
man was going to town and sent
her letter in by him to be mailed.
And there was nothing to do but
for the two young people to hope for
the best. Mrs. Lovell came to call
on her in the morning.
"Why don't you folks come up to
the house and eat with us? It will
eave you money, and my husband
tells me you are a little hard up.
You can help me with the work."
Obediently Lynn went up to the
big farmhouse. That morning she
helred Mrs. Lovell clean an up-
stairs bedroom. Mrs. Lovell gave
her a couple of cotton dresses, for
which Lynn was grateful, and she
wore one of them to the dinner ta-
ble.
Of course, there was the dreaded
conversation always. Lynn finally
told Mrs. Lovell she and Rene had
been married in Florida. That
seemed simplest.
All in all, the day went smoothly
enough, although Lynn was exhaust-
ed when night came. She came
back to the trailer after dark and
found Rene there, the curtain up.
their beds made.
"Did Mr. Lovell ask you where
we were married today?" Lynn
called.
"Lord, did she ask you, too?"
"I said Florida."
"I said New York!" Rene
groaned. "I'm a fool."
CHAPTER V!
Lynn and Rene would not have
been so confident of their situation
if they could have seen ahead. On
the second day, Rene was finishing
up the paint job.
All day there was a stream of
farmers' wives and sometimes their
husbands from neighboring farms
who wanted to look through "Mr.
and Mrs." Bouchier's trailer.
Once when Lynn came into the
living room unexpectedly the con-
versation stopped with telling sud-
denness. She knew they had been
discussing her.
One of the neighbors was driving
into the village of Lu Lu and Lynn
went along to see whether there was
any word yet from New York. Un-
til the moment when she walked
into the telegraph ofHee she did
not think about the complications
which might arise, since she'd nat-
urally given her own name to Mr.
Mortimer when she wrote. But only
the operator was in the place, so
Lynn did not worry. There was
no message for her.
By the third day both Lynn and
Rene were discouraged. The car
was done, the bill would be $50.
With what Rene had earned they
could just about pay it. But where
was money coming from for gas
and oil and food on the rest of the
trip?
When she heard Rene talking to
somebody she came to the doorway.
"That your wife?" the garage
man asked. "She's rea) pretty."
Rene nodded without enthusiasm.
"By George! You say you paint
pictures, too? How about painting
a picture of her here by the trailer?
I would like it for my garage win-
dow."
Rene shrank a little. The garage
he did not mind, but painting a pic-
ture to put in the window of a
country garage was something else
again.
"Tell you what I'll do," seeing
Rene's reluctance. "I'U cut a third
off your garage bill."
"I'll paint it." Rene's voice was
sharp as he spoke. "How big do you
want it?"
"Pretty big—like this," he said,
motioning a five-foot canvas with
his hands. "When can you have it
done?"
"Tonight, within two hours," Rene
said crisply.
"We're going to paint your pic-
ture for Mr. Welks," he said to
Lynn.
Lynn meekly took up her pose
near the door of the trailer as Rene
directed. Grimly, Rene began to
paint.
Gradually a crowd began to gath-
er.
Had Lynn not felt so sorry for
Rene she would have liked to laugh.
It was all so absurd. Rene painted
"! am doing this in the memory
of the gir! I lost."
for an hour. The picture took shape,
a pretty calendar-like picture.
"Can I take it tonight?" asked
Welks.
"It's wet, better leave it till morn-
ing. You can get it when you bring
the car out."
Gradually the crowd dispersed.
It was when the two were doing
the supper dishes that Mrs. Lovell
exploded the bombshell.
"If my daughter had lived she'd
have been about your age," she
said, and tears came to the wom-
an's eyes.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"I wanted to tell you that before
you heard what I'm going to say.
You and Mr. Bouchier aren't mar-
ried are you?"
Lynn could find no words with
which to answer.
"I sensed it all along. You didn't
wear a wedding ring which was
funny for a bride. Mr. Lovell told
me to mind my own business. But
I kept thinking of Nancy, and I just
couldn't bear to think of you going
around the country this way."
"But Mrs. Lovell, you don't un-
derstand—"
"I know. I know what you're go-
ing to say, but I know best. Mr.
Lovell is going to speak to your—to
Mr. Bouchier tonight."
"Oh, please, Mrs. Lovell. You've
been so kind to us, I wish—" Lynn
found it hard to face Mrs. Lovell's
honest, sincere gaze. The poor wom-
an was deeply hurt.
"But Mrs. Lovell, Rene has been
kind to me, he's taking me back to
New York. You must understand
our friendship is purely platonic—"
Mrs. Lovell held up her hand. "It
doesn't help any to call it high tan-
gled names, my dear. You're too
nice a girl. Father isgoingtobring
that man to his senses." She patted
Lynn's arm, reassuringly. "He's go-
ing to see that Rene marries you."
Aghast, Lynn turned around and
stared.
"But. I don't want to marry him
—oh, please, Mrs. Lovell 1 Let us
alone. This is something you know
nothing about—"
"And me married for thirty-flvp
years? My dear girl! Come, now. 1
know you must care for him a lot—"
She went on and on until in de-
spair Lynn ran out of the kitchen,
down to the trailer. Rene was not
there, and Lynn threw herself on
the sofa and wept. Thus it was
Rene finally found her. He stepped
into the trailer, slammed the door.
"My God. Lynn! Stop crying! !
don't know what to do. Do you
know what that old fool threatens
to do? He says he'll have the law
on us if we're not married tomor-
row!" Rene slumped into a chair.
"That's what he called it. 'having
the law on us.' Lynn, I feel terrible.
Here we have the money to get out
of here, and then this happens!"
Lynn tried to control her sobbing.
'^hat shall we do?"
Get that car, hook it on and run
nrit."
"We couldn't, they'd know and
step us!"
There was no sleep for Rene that
H'ght. He could see no way out.
Even the morning light brought lit-
tle help. Lynn, when she awak-
ened and remembered, she called
outtoRene:
"Did you think of anything?"
"Only of something called a shot-
gun wedding!"
Then on either side of that ging-
ham curtain they laughed hysteri-
ca!^.
"The only thing left is for this
darned trailer to burn down!" Rene
remarked.
Before they were through break-
fast Lovell came to the door. He
came in evidently embarrassed.
"Mrs. Lovell wants me to take
you to town now to get the license."
Lynn, pleadingly, turned toward
him, "Will you give us just a little
more time?" she begged.
"I'll wait outside," he said firmly.
As he waited on guard the girl and
the man looked at each other help-
lessly.
"No."
"All right, then. If it makes them
happy, we'll have to get married."
He came over to the girl. "I swear
I'll never make any demands on you
and just as soon as I get a little
money I'll see you have a divorce.
Nobody need know."
Lynn grasped at a straw: "We'll
go and get the license, Rene. Then
we can stop at the telegraph office.
If that money has come from Mr.
Mortimer, then I'll hide some place
until the bus comes along."
When Lovell came back into the
trailer they were both silent. "I
hate to get mixed up in your affairs, j
children, but you see Mother feels
pretty strongly." He turned severe-
ly to Rene. "She's making you mar-
ry her for the girl's own good. My
child, you'll be glad some day you
met us and did not go on your way }
in sin."
Rene groaned and Lynn did not *
dare meet his eyes. In an hour they }
were ready and Lovell drove them
to ihe County Clerk's office. Rene

CARE OF POULTRY
VITAL IN SUMMER
Special Measures Necessary
To Protect Flocks.
SHtH/nery Frofih
For 3/f/n
By C. F. PAKKtSH
The health and egg production
of the poultry flock next fall will be
in proportion to the care given the
pullets this summer.
One of the first "musts" in the
grower's program should be the pro-
viding of clean ground not used by
poultry for at least two years to
range the pullets.
Then, too. an open air summer
range shelter should be located in
a corn or soybean field, orchard,
lespedeza pasture, or some other
location where ample green feed
and shade are available.
An ample supply of tender green
feed will cut the feed bill greatly,
as well as result in a more healthy
flock. Soybeans planted in rows or
in corn make an ideal shade and
source of green feed during hot dry
weather. It is also important that
the pullets have plenty of fresh wa-
ter supplied in a cool, shady place
at all times.
At least once a day, in the late
afternoon, the pullets should be fed
liberaily on whole yellow corn and
whole oats. Also the birds need a
high quality growing or developing
mash. Many of the more success-
ful poultrymen keep whole oats and
whole yellow corn in hoppers before
the pullets as well as a hopper of
mash.
Of course, liberal feeding of whole
oats, corn, and green feed will re-
tard the sexual maturity of the pul-
lets to a certain degree, but this is
to the advantage of the poultryman
since the birds will have more time
to become better developed. This
will mean larger eggs.
CWEET and summery as a bas-
^ ket of flowers, this frock (8729)
is perfect for warm afternoons.
In printed silk, or flower-patterned
cottons like voile or batiste, it will
look so cool and fresh and fem-
inine, with its open-topped sleeves,

that put alt the emphasis up at
the top, an effect always becom-

When they got back to the farm
there was a car beside Me back

"That's the parson," Lovell said.
"I want to see Mrs. Lovell," Lynn
said. "Let me talk to her alone."
Lynn went inside the house and
was introduced to the minister. The
Rev. Mr. Hoffman smiled pityingly
on the erring girl, and Lynn was
wild with a helpless fury. The kind-
ly old man talked to her as you

Home-Raising of Foods
Is Good Farm Practice
Home production of dairy and
poultry products, fruits, vegetables, j
and meat from animals fed and j
butchered on the farm offers a two- I
way advantage to families with low '
cash incomes, the new department
; of agriculture yearbook points out.
i Home-grown foods usually improve
) the diet—both in quality and quan-
i tity—and they release for other pur-
poses money that would otherwise
be paid out for food.
i In a recent survey of living costs
] on farms, food economists of the
j United States department of agricul-
ture were able to group 84 fami-
lies—each of which .had about $630
a year to spend for the fami!y liv-
} ing, and each consisting of a hus-
i band r id wife and one child under
16 years of age—on the basis of
how much food was produced on
the farm.
I Money expenditures for food
dropped steadily as home produc-
tion increased. Some of these fami-
lies produced more than $400 worth
of food on the farm and spent only
{ about $160 for food. At the other
end, part of the families raised on!y
! about $100 worth of food and bought
about $200 worth. The economists
estimate that such a family would
rpend about $265 cash if it did not
raise any food. Families producing
tie highest money values in food
i were in general the best fed.

Farming Advanced
By New Machinery
Trend in farm machinery toward
durability, simplicity, speed, and
convenience of operation, says W.
M. Hurst of the United States bu-
reau of agricultural engineering,
"probably has affected American
agriculture as much as, if not more
than, development of the reaper and
steel plow a century ago."
The gas tractor has been on the
market for nearly 40 years. But
only during the past 10 or 12 years
has a unit suitable for planting and
cultivating row crops, for plowing,
disking, and belt work, been avail-
able. Of all general-purpose trac-
tors manufactured in 1937 nearly
50 per cent were on rubber. Pneu-
matic tires not only permit higher
speed in field operations but make
possibte road hauling with tracers.
"Adapting Hc!d machinery to use
with tractors," says Mr. Hurst,
"constitutes the major recent de-
velopment in what is generally
known as farm implements. A new
plow, for instance, may look about
the same as its predecessor, but on
examination it will be found to be
made of better material, to have
greater beam clearance for turning
under trash, the shape of the mold-
board of some is such as to permit
higher speed, and attachments are
available for increasing effective-
ness in turning under cover crops."

Studies show that about one-half
of America's hogs are raised west

fourths of the pork is eaten east of
