Before putting in the earth, mix with it one or two tablespoons of broken brick and two of charcoal (both broken to about one-quarter inch size), also two tablespoons o! hoof filings, which you can get from any blacksmith, and old, rot- ted manure, old enough to be soft and clean, to the amount of one-

knees his baby daughter and cares- sed her, and wondered if he could come back to the things he loved— home and wife and child.

Brian Chalmers, turning 2-year- old Elaine back to her sedate Eng- lish nurse, pulled one of the child's sunny curls teasingly. "Goodby, Beautiful! You'll be asleep when I pull out in the morning. If I don't come back, don't take any wooden nickeis or atcpfathersl"

The child laughed with delight at

father was saying. She liked his pungent, tobaccoish, shaving-cream smell, and the feel of his lean, hard cheek against her own. She liked his big polished boots and the funny belt that went around his waist and up over one shoulder. " ‘By, Daddy!" she said, kising him rapturousiy. "She likes men," the child's mother drawled. She was a beautiful woman in a clinging sea-green neg- ligee, with a, face that was rather soft and petulant. “She's going to be man-hungrgg that. girl. A little witch. I'm already Jealous of hen" The man drew his wife to the arm of hischalr and. buried his face in the scented lace of her negligee. "You like men, too," he accused. “If I'm blown to atoms over there you'll select the best-looking mourning in town. You'll wear it becomingly for a year, and the day you step out of it you'll marry Higate Deal!" "Darling!" she remonstrated. "Must you be spiteful about all the men who have nice safe Jobs in Washington?" l "No," answered Brian Chalmers. "Only when they're your old suit- ors and still in love with you, Gwen, you'll take good- care of Elaine, won't you?" l The woman's eyes opened in sur- prise. “What a thing to say to the child's own motheri Please remem- ber dear, that I lovs her, too. I put in hours: and hours selecting her little frocks and toys." - "I know," the man nodded im- patiently. “But I'm thinking of her character, Gwen, and things like that. I want her to grow up to be fine and straight and dependable." He paused uncertainly and lit a cig- aret. “Lord! What DOI want for her?" Ha looked after the lovely child as she toddied up the broad stairway, holding tightly to her nurse's hand. "I suppose I Just want her to have anything in this world that will make her happy. Yes," he repeated it, rather like a prayer, “—anything in the world that will make her happy." O I O

The other young man was named George Woodson- He and his wife, Eleanor, were so beautifully and simply in love with each other that this short leave of his was like a bit of heaven in a sea of horror. 'l'hrough every hour of its radiance sounded the relentless drum-beat of approaching separation, of sub-

They were restless in their love and foreboding. George said, "Let's walk along the river this evening. It's swell in October-J’ “I'd thought of a I picnic supper there," Eleanor replied. "At the little cove where we used to go when we were engaged. But there's

cough and we shouldn't leave her. Mrs- Gary would come in to look after her, but I'm Just afraid-do you mind terribly? I've a party for us in the icebox. A cold chicken and all the things you love-"

George Woodson took his wife in his arms. “Mind, dear? It doesn't matter to me where I am, lust. so you are near enough to touch. Tell me, Eleanor! If I don't come back, will you Promise-t"

Her dark eyes widened in pain and she quickly laid her hand over his mouth. "Don't say it!" she beg- ged. “Don't think it!"

"1 will!" he replied stubbornly. "It's got to be said. We've evaded it long enough. If I fall to come back. you're ready to go on gamely. That will be your duty, Just as it's mine to go out and die, if necessary, to get this bloody war ended."

She replied in a muffled voice from his arms. "Your Pm 18 611-519! than mine, George. I'd rather go and fight than wait here. I'd rather die in battle than be left without my very heart."

"1 know," he said soothingly. "I lknow." To himself he was thinking: "War is hellish. Just three years ago we found each other. It was in the fall, like this. I loved the wiw she walked along picking up red leaves, sticking them in her hat, in her dress. I loved the way she laughed and the way she sang. a little off key, like a happy child. I loved the way she closed her eyes when she kissed me. I still love these things in her. I'd like to go on loving them forever. Instead, I'm going of! to a dizzy war that somebody else start- ed, and maybe have my guts torn out with a. cold steel bayonet-J’ "George," Eleanor said, "you're shivering. Are you cold?"

"No," he replied. "You're imagin- ing things- What I started outtosay, dear, is this. If I shouldn't come back, you'll have Ruth to take care of. It's not as if we had parents and brothers and sisters to help you. There's nobody you'll have any real claim on. But there'll be my insur- ance. My war risk insurance, and $2000 more of the regular kind. I'll show you the papers tonight-" "There's no use in your urglulz me to live on," she said, "if you don't come back to me. I wouldn't. I couldn't. I would go to you, wher- ever you might be. Someone else would care fo.r liuth-L’

I-le loved her ‘the more, even for this weakness, this inconsistency. "All within five minutes." he point- ed out, "you've refused to leave your baby for a. picnic because she has croup, and you've refused to live for her if I die. That's 10816 $01‘ you."

They laughed together, rather shakily, and she pushed him down into his favorite chair and filled his pipe for him. He said, "Isn't iibll-t B new dress you're wearing?"

She answered, “Of course. If you hadn't noticed it, I was going to put poison in your tea. I'm making over the yellow flannel into a coal; for Ruth. It's going to have cunning

He marveled at the smallness of the two hands that lay outside the cov- ere, and at the softness 0f the round, flushed cheeks. The dark eyes, closed in sleep, were like her mother's. But he knew that the wide, engaging mouth and the squarencss of the little chin were his own contribution. "Funny little mixture," he mused, looking down at her. And than, strangely, he said somethin that the other young father had said of his child: "I want her to have whatever it takes to make her happy. Whatever it takes!"
