* “WHAT
DID HE SEE
IN HER?”
Pree
ROM the day of her graduation,
15 years before, from the high
school of a large middle western
city, Ada Gilbert had been baf-
fled by the question which had first
assailed her when her old sweetheart,
Tom Cass, suddenly up and married
her classmate, Evelyn Day.
Whatever of pique and chagrin Ada
might have felt, were really beside
the question, because she had eloped
with the eldest son of the town's larg-
est banker the week before the an-
nounced engagement of Tom and Eve-
yn.
But for years afterward. long after
the Tom Casses had moved East, that
question had flashed across the busy,
variegated days of Ada's life.
What had Tom Cass seen in Evelyn
Day, who was one of those colorless,
nice-enough girls of dust-gray person-
ality and no achievements. A girl, as
Ada used to describe it, with no face
in particular, and no graces of mind
or manner that in any way matched
up to the sparkling distinction of Tom,
who had been a distinguished stu-
dent at high school, had captured hon-
ors at college, and from the start had
seemed pre-destined for a career of
honor and importance.
Not that Ada had any right to a
pense of: frustration. She became,
upon her marriage, the town’s wealthi-
est and most outstanding matron. But
Just the same, one could not help
asking, whenever she picked up a
newspaper and read the name of Tom
Cass: what did he see in her?
What did he, who was once in love
with me, see In her?
It Is certain that in the subsequent
divorce between Ada and her husband,
the conscious thought of Tom could
have played little part. Nothing had
been farther from her mind than to
disrupt the snug bed she had made
for herself as the wife as one of the
most important, as well as the wealthi-
est, men In town. But Ada had reck-
oned without her host,
Practically out of a clear sky, the
husband of Ada underwent the Indig-
nity of establishing residence In a
state where divorce laws were notori-
ously lenient, in order to win his free-
dom from her on grounds of mental
cruelty.
It was the most devastating catas-
trophe of her life. A famous beauty
in her social world, a power, a woman
of widest Influences, the action came
as a bewildering blow to her pride.
With all her cleverness, her nimble
wit, her ability to lay her trump cards
with outstanding diplomacy, she had
had the supreme blunder of misjudg-
ing her husband's psychology. To her
he had been the plodding, rather sta.
pid man, who concentrates brilllantly
in business, and bares his neck to
the yolk outside. Most galling of all
was the fact that his act had not
been precipitated by a flare of passion
for another woman. Nothing of that
sort had entered into his life. His
act was the deliberate cutting loose of
a man who finds his marriage ties
intolerable,
At thirty-five, still beautiful, well
provided for, free, Ada found herself
curiously cut away from the security
and importance that had been hers
as the wife of her husband. Life in
the same town was no longer toler-
able. Divested of the prestige, posi-
tion and local importance, she became
merely a divorcee, living on a gener-
ous alimony.
It was then she decided to move to
one of the large eastern cities where
the social horizon was wider, the life
more varied.
Once more it was the subconscious
that must have settled her choice on
the town In which dwelt the Tom
Casses.
In all the years which intervened be-
tween her graduation from high
school, she had not clapped eyes either
upon Tom or Evelyn. In the interim
Tom had become one of the most
talked of magnates in the country. An
entire township, devoted to his steel
Industries, lay Just outside the eity
where he had bulit the famous Cass
castle. His industrial Innovations, his
revolutionizing sociological schemes
were beginning to have their effect
the country, if not the world, over.
Tom Cass was a household word, His
success had never faltered.
ft was into his town, with magnifi-
cence of retinue, that Ada and her do-
mestie caravan arrived with fanfare,
Of course, contacts with the Tom
Casses were immediately resumed,
Strangely, Evelyn seemed enthusiasti-
cally glad to see her and regaled her
with promises of what Toms exuber-
ance was sure to be upon his return
from Europe,
The Casses lived In a magnificence
that seemed towering even to the ae.

~ ther's glamor,
Evelyn herself had not changed, In
i
fact she had not even aged. The moth-
gray quality in her was apparently
a dust cover to the years, Quiet, unob-
trusive, completely lusterless, she was
the same quiet enigma who had star-
tled her community by capturing the
brilliant Tom Cass,
When Tom returned from what had
been the flying business trip to Lon-
don his delight upon re-meeting Ada
was all that Evelyn had promised her
it would be. Here was recreation, a
new toy, a new delight, a new face,
The years had dealt lightly with
him, as life had in general, He was
a personality among personalities, as-
sured, tremendously jovial, magnetic
even beyond what he had been. Suc-
cess had italicized him,
Curious,’ the bantering, sex-con-
gelous, excited relationship that was
{fmmediately re-established between
him and his old colleague. It was as
if the intervening years had been
merely hiatus, and here they were
again, tiptoe as they had been in
their youth, filled with awareness of
each other, tantalizing to each other
and strangely exciting,
During these months the beauty of
Ada seemed to take on a new sheen,
Her dolly blue eyes became brighter,
her hair more jonquil yellow, the nat-
ural pink In her cheeks more surpris-
ing. She was taking the particular
social set in which she was finding
place for herself, chiefly It Is true,
through the Casses, by storm. Her
dinners, her functions became focal
points of the city's gayety. Not only
Tom, but the town was Agog with
her.
What did he see in Evelyn?
More and more this question began
to torment Ada. Why, here within
arms reach, except for this dreb
woman with no face in particular, was
happiness beyond anything she had
dreamed. Not the person to err twice,
her second alliance would not only he
crowned with success, but it now be
came evident to Ada that all through
the years of her marriage to another
man, her one grand passion had been
for Tom Cass. And here he was, ready
except for the intolerable impedimenta
of a plain wife and plain children,
ready to march himself back into her
heart.
Fool, fool, fool that she had been,
ever to miscalculate in those years
back there—to let slip for want of
imagination, yes, it had been just that,
the youth with a future, for what
seomed to her to be the youth with
his future In his hand
Fool. Fool, Fool.
What does he see in her?
Of course, the expected happened.
There came a time when Tom, as If
to announce to the world he was no
more than human, began to he seen
about more than was discreet in the
company of the golden grass-widow,
[nevitably there was talk. One or two
of his friends even ventured to remon-
strate. But Tom was involved. Tom
was smitten. Every one, with the ex-
ception of Evelyn, saw that. Plain as
the on your face. Tongues
wagged.

There came the crisis. Ada lost. A
sickened, revolted Tom suddenly
jerked to his senses, staggering from
her presence with a sense of finality
and self-loathing.
Strange, but Tom, too, had the
sense as he lay with his head in Eve

Crop Rotations
Aid to Alfalfa
Progressive Farmers Plan to
Let Good Stand Re-
main Six Years.
Crop rotations which permit a good
stand of alfalfa to remain longer than
two years are being developed by pro-
gressive farmers of the state, accord-
ing to T. G. Stewart, extension agron-
omist at the Colorado Agricultural
college,
Many are planning rotations in
which alfalfa is allowed to remain for
perhaps five or six years. If planned
according to some systems, five or
gix years of alfalfa, together with
four or five other crops makes a 10
or 11 year rotation. Such a system
provides more alfalfa than is desired
and too little of cash and feed crops,
Stewart points out,
Plan for 160-Acre Farm,
A simpler plan for a 160-acre farm-
having a 10-acre farmstead, would in-
clude 50 acres of alfalfa, allowed to
remain five or six years If satisfac
tory hay ylelds are obtained. The re-
maining 100 acres can be divided into
four fields of 25 acres each and ro-
tated with corn, followed by sugar
beets, and then barley as a nurse crop
for red clover. A seed crop of red
clover and a cutting of hay can thus
be secured from the fourth field each
year after the rotation is under way.
A 25.acre field of alfalfa can be
brought into the rotation as occasion
demands by seeding the barley field to
alfalfa instead of red clover. The 25
gere strip of old alfalfa Is then fall
plowed. The red clover crop cannot
be included during the two years re

Feeding Cow According
to Production Favored
The low prices of dairy products
makes it more than ever necessary for
dairymen to feed and manage thelr
herd with care in order to find a profit
able market for feeds, states E. A,
Gannon, Purdue university.
The first step In meetng the present
situation is to feed properly. Each
cow should bave a balanced ration,
based on her Individual production.
The roughages available will deter
mine the grain mixtures to be fed In
order to balance the ration. Where
legume roughages are available, a
grain mixture containing 10 per cent
digestible crude protein will be found
gatisfactory. Where legume roughages
and silage are fed, the grain mixture
should contain 14 per cent digestible
crude protein. With mixed roughages
the per cent should be increased to 15,
Where roughages such as timothy hay,
straw and corn fodder are fed the
grain mixture should contain 18 to 22
per cent digestible crude protein,
Mulching With Paper Is
Favored for Moisture
he paper mulch, as it is called, Is
a heavy grade of paper, quite similar
to that put on roofs. The seed, of
course, must be planted in the ground
and must not be covered with the pa.
per, or it will never come up, The
use of the paper is between the rows
of plants, where it keeps the weeds
from ‘coming up, and prevents the
ground from being excessively dried
put. The common way is to plant the
goed 08 usual and then spread thi
paper between the rows, so as not to
cover the plants, and weight It down
with pieces of stone or earth, so that
the wind will not move It,
