TF IT hadn't been for the library * Teresa would have died of lone- ^someness. It was just two blocks from the furnished room on Walnut place, which wns the only place in the city that she had to go whet) .she was through the long hours of work in the department store. Every night her routine was the same She left the store at six o'clock wheta It closed, had a cheap supper at a nearby restaurant; then went " home to her unlovely little .hall-end furnished room, washed up and went down to the library. She had read all of the periodicals through and through, because she always stayed at the library until it closed,*and then went home and to bed. She would have preferred a cnovie, but she could not afford a movie. When she went home she took a book with her to read, and read it \mtil she fell asleep, to kill the loneliness. It was dreadful to have left a big, nappy family in the Southern part of the state to tjome to "Chi-* cago to live alone and work; but somebody bad to leave, and she wtfs the oldest- They had been happy together, but there was little money. Her father was a bookkeeper and she had two younger- brothers and a younger sister. Each week she Sent a part of her small salary home. 1 In Midvale she had been considered a belle, with her taffy-colored hair, small, pretty face, nice skin and slim figure; but in Chicago, in very plain clothes, and without the money for beauty treatn ents or the proper care of herself, she made little impression; and, even If she had, Teresa would not Jhave "run around" with Just anybody { there seemed to be a dearth of nice boys In the big city. And then one night, at the library, a shy young man of perhaps thirty, with soft gray eyes and lovely- curly hair, deliberately -sat down next to her. Teresa was a trifle startled bexause his attitude was rather bold; yet his eyes were so soft and he was so mild, almost self-effacing, that she could not take offense.

I read it myself not long ago." Something in the way he said it toOk all of the forwardness out of it; If it had been any other man Teresa would instantly have put him in his place. "He knows what loneliness means," McHenry, lllinoii - gfte told him. He leaned forward intently. "You look," he Said, "as though yon were lonely. I've seen you in here often. I am lonely, too--I have ak ways been lonely." "I suppose," she sighed, "life haf got to be like that for some." Almost before she knew it she was telU ing him about the happy family dovvo. In Midvale, and he whs telling her about his early life, how he had never bad any family at all and had bees brought up by an aunt When the library closed, Teresa let him walk home with her; and before he left her door she had promised to go to a movie with him the following nighty To the average girl in the store th# prospect of a movie with a young maO would have meant little or nothing; but all the next day Teresa was sib excited she could hardly contain herself. And then tlltre were other mot* ies, other nights; and lui^eons with him at noon, and walks on Sunday, and even a dance now and then. Then | one day he disappeared. y i The vacuunj that ensued now wa»* I almost more than Teresa could bear; | Before, her lonely life hadn't been so i bad; but after his companionship the contrast was unbearable. Many nigbta Teresa cried herself to sleep. And then, one night as she left the store, he was waiting. But so changed and different She hartyy recognized hira. ; He was In a new suit, hat, overcoat, shoes, everything. Presently Teresla found herself in a taxi. * "It was cruel," he told her, "to have gone away without a word; but I was mad about you, and I was rather sure you tared some, too. I was a failure--" I had nothing to offer you--so when I went East I said nothing, promising myself I'd never see you again onless" I had something to offer you. "My new book is a huge success; I wrote It while we were going togetb. er; It's full of cheer and happiness, and people are buying it as they never bought my books before You see, 1 wrote that book you were reading the ulght we met--that's why I spoke to you and asked you what you thought of'it--giving you a flctitioi.3 name."

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)--WNU Service. A "new" vegetable for the American table but one which has been a staple food for centuries in some Central American countries is the chayote, sometimes called vegetable pear, man- - go squash, or mirliton. In the last few years there has been increasing interest in the growing of chayotes for home use ^and local ^markets in - the lower South, the United States Department of Agriculture reports, and chayotes are now appearing In season in northern as well as southern markets.. ' V : - t _ \ - The adaptability of the chayote ag a table vegetable is one of its outstanding characteristics. It may be eaten plain boiled, mashed, fried, stuffed and baked, used cold in salads, ir) fritters, or made into sweet pickle. Unlike most squash, the chayote holds its form perfectly after being cooked. Its flavor is delicate and resembles summer squash. To some people it tastes like stewed oysters. The root, which becomes tuberlike after the first season,, is starchy and may be boiied and eaten. ' BotariicaHy the cbayofe is related to the squashes find cucumber. It usually fruits in the fall, though when early vine growth from old roots is not injured by spring frost it may produce a crop in the spring. The fruits of different varieties of chayote vary in weight from three ounces to three pounds.

'"r~ Lime Phosphate Profitable to Use on Legume Crops Lime phosphate may be used for growing either legume crops or grain crops. When used for grain crops, some thought must be given to the liberation of phosphorus by the acids in plants ©r by those formed in the decomposition of organic matter. When there is enough decomposition in a soil to provide more nitrogen than is needed in proportion to phosphorus, lime phosphate will be beneficial when applied without fresh organic matter. There is not much land in this condition, however, as most soils are In need of some fresh organic matter occasionally for the purpose of liberating various kinds bt plant food; and it is best to use lime phosphate in connection with active organic matter, such as legumes or manure Try our classified ads for aulck sale <5 SATURDAY, SE|»T* 26, AND MONDAY, fjEPT.
