"Wha t have I done? Oh, what ha i e I done?" she kept repeating to herself. " H e will be killed, and I shall be his murderer."

She gained the front hall and fum­bled for the electric light button.

Sounds of stealthy stirring reached her out Of the. darkness. Then a sud­den rush and B^heavy fa i t with a Jangling accompaniment were follow­ed1 by a sharp struggle, punctuated by the crack of a revolver. There was a groan and* the lessening tread of foot­steps in. r e t r e a t

On the^'floor between the sideboard and the table lay Alonzo in, the midst of scattered silverware. His eyes were closed, every breath went out wifh a moan. Margie knelt beside him among the silver heaps. • {

"Alonzo! Speak, dear!" she whimper­ed hoarsely.

"The doctor won't be much use. I'm thinking." .was t he answer.

" l i k e l y not.ibut we .ain't got no right to move him, and he-lies uneasy on that silver t ruck."

Margie sat up uncertainly on one of the chairs tha t formed her Improvised couch and clutched the sides of the sea^ito steady herself.

"Tell me—you a re used to seeing peo­ple wounded—does he seem to you so badly bur t?" she besought them, look­ing piteously from one to the other. '

The second voice broke the silence which followed her question.

"Now. lady, don't you worry one b i t The doctor '11 be here in a minute, and ".ell tell you Just how it is ."

"Oh. then you think he'll die!" Mar­gie wailed.

Margie turned to Alonzo and' caught him 'by-the shoulders right in the midst of a deep groan. Her voice was t h a t of a person who has been scared and resents it.

"Get up, you silly, unless you think a bump on the head is Worth moaning about all night! I changed the ball cartridges for blanks because I w a s ' afraid of the old revolver."

Alonzo ceased to moan and sat u p stiffly, a grewsome figure in bis blood spattered pajamas, pressing his "wound" tentatively and casting upon his wife a look of pained reproach.

SOIL AND ITS TREATO

The market , cl imate, and t h e soil AFe t h e - determining factors' -for t h e location of a market-garden. A. good marke t gardening soil is a soil t h a t warms ' up quickly in the^ spr ing i t is SPOTT in a ^workable- Qondllfon; i t f s easily kept in gopd cult ivation and it will respond- readily to fertilizers. This kind of a soil is called "a quick" soil by marke t gardeners . The physical condition of the soil—the a r rangement and texture of the. particles t h a t make up t h e soil—is far more impor tant t h a n i ts-r ichness i n - p l a n t food- for the plant food-is easily supplied by ma­nures.

The marke t gardeners prefer a sandy loam. A few. crops such a s celery and onions need special types and re­spond a grea t deal . be t t e r on these types. If t he land is "well drained and there is sufficient rainfall these sandy loams can be made to be exceedingly productive.

The- soil "to b e avoided in marke t gardening is<a hard clay fpr a play soil is a 'cold, and late soil. P lants be->in to grow slowly in it; it cannot be worked when either wet or 'Vefy'Hry: The peribd in which a clay so i fmay.be worked is so ' short t ha t a great deal jf labor-_and equipment are required to do the work quickly and carefully. Clay is an excellent soil for some of .he fruits or grains but it is pot t he ioU fot. the early, crops.
