OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN A GIRL AND A MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van 'k; Water CHAPTER LXT. (Copyright, 1916, Star Company.) The few hours of sleep that came to Agnes Morley that night were dis turbed by dreams of Philip Hale. In the intervals of wakefulness she reqollected that she had not heard from him since he had left her with the threat against Balnbridge on his lips. With the morning, she dragged her self wearily from her bed. and dressed herself slowly. All energy had left her. A hundred possibilities com bined to trouble her. and she started nervously as a ring at the doorbell sounded through the flat. She hurried out into the hall and met Jennie holding in her hand a tele gram as if she were afraid it might explode and cause fatal injury. "Sure, ma'am." the maid began, "Whatever do you suppose this is for *t this hour of the morpin' " But she stopped abruptly as Agnes enatched the envelope from her and tore it open, then gasped with relief as she read the contents. "It's from Dr. Martin," she explain ed. "Miss Morley was operated on yesterday afternoon. She is doing very well." She caught her breath with a little sob. but no tears came to her eyes. "You'll be wanting to go to see her, ■won't you, Miss Agmes?" Jennie ask ed. "Yes; soon after breakfast I will," Agnes said. Then she turned back into her own room and shut the door. She felt that she must be alone for a little while before facing even Jennie. The Paper Not There Perhaps Philip and Bainbridge liad quarreled. Perhaps one of them had been hurt. She had good cause, she reflected bitterly, to know that Bain brldge had a violent temper. He was big and powerful. Then she reminded herself that her aunt was safe. Yes—she was glad this *as so. But she wished that she might hear from Phil! She did not notice Jennie's silence as the girl brought her a cup of cof fee and set it down by her. Agnes only glanced about for the morning paper which usually came long before this hour. Jennte saw the look, and spoke before her mistress could ques tion her. "Your paper's not here.

"Yes, ma'am, and it's not there," the girl said hurriedly as she left the room. Down in the bottom of the paper box in the kitchen lay the morning journal where Jennie had thrust it an hour ago. As she went about her work with trembling hands the bold black headline she had seen on the first page repeated itself over and over in her mind. "Importer Shot. Partner's Son Held For Slaying." Agues Kilts I,ittle At another time the maid's man ner would have arrested Agnes' atten tion. Now, however, her thoughts were too much occupied by her pro blems and fears for er to look be yond them. "I am going out to telephone." Ag nes announced as she pushed her chair back from the table. "I shall probably bo back before I go to the hospital. X am only going to the cor ner to call up the office and find out if I am needed there this morning." The druggist nodded to her pleas antly "as she entred the store where she wa3 in the habit of dealing. Re turning his salutation absent-minded ly she went into the booth and gave the number with which she was so familiar. "No," a hostile voice replied to her query as to whether Mr. Hale was in. "He ain't in and won't be in to day. Good-by." "Why Joe!" Agnes exclaimed as she recognized the red-headed clerk's tone. "This is Miss Morley. I want to know if Mr. Hale wants me to day." "Gee, I don't know!" the lad re plied. "I don't snppose he'll be in at all to-day. It's terrible, isn't it?" "What's terrible?" the girl asked. "Didn't you see the mornin' paper?" the boy demanded, a ring of excite ment betraying his joy at being able to impart information of a thrilling character. "Why Mr. PhUip shot Mr. Bainbrldge last night and killed him. He's in the Tombs now. Isn't that ter rible enough?" But the girl did not reply. She raised one hand weakly and hung the receiver on the hook, then her knees gave way under her, and she sank down into darkness. (To Be Continued.)

The department says In its bulletin: "The Increased acreage is due to the large demand and increased price re ceived for 1916 wheat and shows about 3 per cent, increase in the State. Increases are shown in Bedford, Brad ford, Crawford, Elk, Erie, Indiana, Pike, Tioga and York counties. The wheat was sown late this fall in order to avoid the ravages of the Hessian fly and few reports of the presence of the fly in 1916 wheat have been reported. In many parts of the State a drought prevailed at seeding time and this made it necessary to wait for more favorable conditions. The condition of the wheat in the ground for this season of the year stands at 98 per cent, and the grain, in most instances, gained a good start before the ground froze. It is estimated that the area seeded to rye is 263,400 acres, which is 1 per cent, smaller than the area seeded one year ago. The condition of rye In the ground is slightly below the average at this season of the year. Columbia, Delaware, Greene and Lack awanna counties show increases In acreage." The department also announced that the smallest buckwheat crop that has been reported in years was produced on the Pennsylvania farms during the past season. Reports to the depart ment make the estimated production 4,480,000 bushels, about four-fifths of an average crop. year's crop was estimated al 5,540,000 bushels, an average of 20 bushels to an acre, while the average this year was only 16 bushels to an acre. Districts which last year pro duced an average of from 20 to £6 bushels to an acre show yields of from 18 to 22 bushels to an acre, while the low average of 12 bushels last season has been reached in mahy counties this year, some going as low as 7 and 9 bushels to an acre. The best average yields were obtained in Bedford, Berks, Bucks, Center, Dauphin, Mont gomery and Northampton counties. The season was not a good one for successful buckwheat production. Con ditions were unfavorable at seeding time and the drought and hot sun when the grain was in bloom had their damaging effect. t News at a Glance Pittsburgh.
