MUSSELMAN STATE RETURNS SHOW G R A N D RAPIDS CANDIDATE NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR. L A T E S T FIGURES I N C R E A S E " HIS L E A D OVER M A R T I N D A L E . Lucking, for Senator, and HHI, for Congressman-at-Large, Winners —Dodds Decisively Defeated. Friday, Aug. 30. Wr ith complete or partial returns from seventy-three counties in Michigan the plurality of Amos*S. Musselman over*F. C. Martindale for the republican nomination for governor is 4,000. Of the ten m i s s i n g c o u n - ties, four are in the upper peninsula— Alger, Iron,- Ontonagon and Luce—in all of which Martindale is likely to run ahead of his Grand Rapids opponent, and six are in the lower peninsula. The latter are A l l e g a n and St. Joseph, both populous counties which may be counted on to go for Musselman, and Montmorency, Otsego, Oscoda and Roscommon, all small counties where Martindale's chances may reasonably be considered the best. The returns from many of the counties which have been heard from ere incomplete, and it will in all likehood take full returns Irom these to show who is the winner. As it stands now, Musselman, being in the lead, has apparently the best of it, but so small is his margin that a few changes in these incomplete counties may turn the tide. The largest two counties in the state —Wayne, which is Martindale's home, and Kent, which is Musselman's own bailiwick—are all in, so that no radical changes may be looked for, but a number of small ones may reverse the present situation. For the Progressive nomination for congressman-at-large W. H . Hill, of Detroit, seems to have won over Julius B. Kirby, of Saginaw, though the figures so far reported are scattering. Alfred Lucking led George P. Hummer practically everywhere for the democratic endorsement for United States senator, though Hummer carried a few counties in the western portion of the state. Of tbe contests for congressional nominations, practically the only one still in doubt is the Tenth district, where Geo. A . Loud .contested for a renomlnation with his ancient enemy, Frank Buell. The Tenth is the largest district in the state and contains more "backwoods" counties than any other, and the returns are slow coming in. Of those counties so far heard from the figures are too close to say who has won, and it will take the full figures for the district to decide. ! • • Work has been started on the new $20,000 city hall to be built in Belding.

Not Necessary to Leave Home. In an effort to stop the migration of dying consumptives to the Southwest, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis will ask physicians to be more careful in ordering patients to go away, and will also ask railroads to discontinue their practice of selling "charity" tickets to those who cannot afford to pay full fare. "No consumptive should go to Colorado, California, or the West for his health," says the association, "unless be has a good chance for recovery from his disease, and unless especially he has at least $1,000 to spend for this purpose, over and above what his family may need. "Tuberculosis can be cured in any part of the United States, and it is not necessary for a tuberculosis patient to go West. Whenever possible, the National Association urges tuberculosis patients who have not ample, funds to go to a sanatorium hear home, and if they cannot do this, to take the cure in their homes, under the direction of a physician.1 The Michigan State Telephone Co, is Installing a new $60,000 telephone system in Cheboygan.

Oh, God!" he cried in hia humillatiorr^and shame, " i f I had only met you flrsr^ocjl^my wife had died as othere die, and not b y v m y hand in that awful hour. I can see her now, broken, bruised, bleeding, torn. I can hear the report of that weapon; her last glance at me in the midst of her indescribable agony was one of thankfulness and gratitude. 1 can't stand it, I am unworthy even of her." "But you could not help It, it was not your fault. And you can't help— caring—for mo—" "I ought to help it, I ought not love you, I ought to have known that I was not fit to love any woman, that I had no right, that I was pledged like a monk to tho past. I have been weak, a fool. I love you and my honor goes, I love ^ou and .my self-respect goes', I love you and my pride goes. Would to God I could say I love you and my l i n g o e s and end it all." He Such fierce surges of joy throbbed through him aa he had not thought the human frame could sustain. This woman loved him, in some strange way he had gained her affection. It was impossible, yet she had said so! He had been a blind fool. He could see that now. She stood before him and smiled up at him, looking at him through eyes misted with tears, w i t i lips parted, with color coming and going in her cheek and with her bosom rising and falling. She loved him, he had but to step nearer to her to take her in his arms. There was a trust, devotion, surrender, everything, ln her attitude, and between them like that great gulf which lay between the rich man and the beggar, that separated heaven and hell, was that he cpuld not cross. "I never dreamed, I never hoped— oh," he exclaimed as if he got his death wound, "this cannot be borne." He turned away but in two swift steps she caught him. Where do you go?'* Out, out into the night." "You cannot go now, it is dark; hark to the storm, you would miss your footing you would fall, you would freeze, you would die." "What matters that?" "I cannot have it." "It would be better so." He strove again to wrench himself away, but she would not be denied. She clung to him tenaciously. "I will not let you go unless you give me your word of honor that you will not leave the plateau, and that' trusting husband, bhe had refused you will come back to me." "I tell you that the quicker and more surely I go out of life, the happier and ^better it will be for you." "And I tell ycu," said the woman resolutely, "that you can never go out of my life again, living or dead." She released him with one hand and laid it upon her heart. "You are here." "Enid," cried the man. "No," she thrust him gently away with one hand yet detained him with the other—that was emblematic of the situation between them. "Not now, not yet, let me think, but promise me you will do yourself no harm, you will let nothing imperil your life." "As you will," said the man regretfully. "I'had purposed, to end it now and forever, but I promise." ^ "Your word of honor?" "My word of honor." knew them by heart, Bhe had read and reread them often when she had been alone. They had fascinated her. They were letters^ from some other man to this man's wife. They were signed by. an initial only and the identity of the.writer was quite unknown to her.; The woman's replies^;' wero not with the others, but it was easy enough to see what those replies had been. Al{ the passion.of which the woman had been capable had evidently been bestowed upon the 'writer of the letters she had treasured. Her story was quite plain. She had married Newbold in a fit of pique. He was an eastern man. the best educated, the most fascinating and interesting of the men who frequented the camp. There bad been a quarrel between the letter writer and the woman; there were always quarrels, apparently, but this had been a serious one and the man bad savagely flung-away and left her. He had not c*ome back as he usually did. She had waited for him and then he had come back—too late! He had wanted to kill the other, but she had prevented, and while Newbold was away he Ipd made desperate love to her. He had besought her to leave her husband to go away with him. He had used every argument that he could to that end and the woman had hesitated and wavered, but she had not consented; she had not denied her love for him any more than she had denied her respect and a certain admiration for her gallant, tDS She Had but to Show Him Those Letters. stared at her a little space. "There Is only one way of satisfaction in it all, one gleam of comfort," he added. "And what is that?" "Yon don't know what the suffering is, you don't understand, you don't comprehend." "And why not?" "Because you do not love me." t*JBut, I do," said the woman quite •Imply as if it were a matter of cwrse not^ooly that she should Jove* him, but that she should also tell him so. her "And you w.on't break it." "I i i p e r broke it to a human .being, much less will l do so to you!"; She released'him, he went Into the other room and she heard him cross the floor and open the door and go out into the night, into the storm again. CHAPTEft XVII. • The Faoe In the Locket Left alone in the room she sat down again before the flre^and drew from her jHfetet^ again and again the requests of her lover. She could not control her heart, nevertheless she had kept to her marriage vows. But the force of her resistance had grown weaker and she had realized that alone she would perhaps inevitably succumb. Her lover had been away when her husband returned prior to the last fateful journey. Enid Maitland Baw now why she had besought him to take her with him, she was afraid to be left alone! She did not dare depend upon her own powers a n y more; her only salvation was to go with this man whom she did n o t love, whom at times she almost hated, to keep from falling .into the arms of the man she did love. She had been more or less afraid of Newbold. She had soon realized, because she was not blinded by any passion as ho, that they had been utterly mismated. She had come to understand that when the same knowledge of the truth came to him, as it inevitably must some day, nothing'. but unhappiness would be their portion. Every \ i n d of an argument in addition to those so passionately adduced in these letters urging her to break away from her husband and to seek happiness for herself while yet there was time, besieged her heart, secondfed her lover's plea and assailed her will, and yet she had not given way. Now Enid Maitland hated the woman who had enjoyed the first young love of the man she herself loved. She hated her because of her priority of possession, because her memory yet came between her and that man. She hated her because Newbold was still true to her memory, because Newbold, believing in the greatness of her passjion for him, thought it shame and dishonor to his manhood to be false to her, no matter what love and longing drew him on. Yet there was a stern sense of justice in the bosom of this young woman. She exulted in the successful battle the poor woman had made for the preservation of her honor and her good name, against such odds. It was a sex triumph for .which she was glad. She was proud of her far >the stern rigor with which she had refused to take the easiest way and the desperation with which she had clung to him she did not love, but to whom she was bound by the laws of God and man, in order that she might not fall into the arms of the man she did love, in defiance of right. Enid Maitland and this, woman were as far removed from each other aa the. opposite poles of +ve earth, but there was yet a common quality in each one of virtuous womanhood, of lofty morality. Natural, perhaps in the one and to be be expected; unnatural, perhaps, and to be unexpected in the other, but there! Now that she knew what love was and what its power and what its force—for all that she had felt and experienced and dreamed about before were as nothing to what it was since he bad spokenshe could understand what the struggle must have been in that woman's neart She could honor her, reverence her, pity her, Sne could understand tbe feeling of the man tod; she could think much more clearly than he. He was distracted by two passions, for his pride and $* honor and for her; she had as yet but one, (or him. ,.. , She could understand bow in #*e first frightful rush, of his grief and re* morr.a and love the very fact that Newbold had been compelled to kill his wife, of whom he was beginning to grow a little weary under such circumstances, had added immensely to his remorse and quickened his determination to expiate his guilt and cherish her memory. She could understand why he would do just as ho had done, go into the wilderness to be alone in horror of himself and in horror of hia fellow men to think only, mistakenly, of her. Now he was paying the penalty of that isolation. Men were made to live with one another, and no one could violate the law natural, or by so long an inheritance as to have so become, without paying that penalty. His Ideas of loyalty and fidelity were warped, his conceptions of his duty were narrow. There * was something noble in his determination, it is true, but there was something also very foolish. The dividing line between wisdom and folly is sometimes as Indefinite as that between comedy and tragedy, between laughter and tears. If the woman he had married and killed had only hated him and he had known it would have been different, but since he believed so in her love he could do nothing else. At that period in her reflections* Enid Maitland saw a great light. The woman had not loved her husband after all, she had loved another. That passion of which he had dreamed had not been for him. By a strange chain of circumstances Enid Maitland held in her hand the solution of the problem. She had but to give him these letters to show him that his golden image had stood upon feet of clay, that the love upon which he had dwelt was not his. Once convinced of that he would come Quick to her arms. She cried a prayer of blessing on old Kirkby and started to her feet, the letters in hand, to call Newbold back to her and tell him, and then she stopped. Woman as she was she had respect for the binding conditions and laws of honor as well as he. Chance, nay Providence, had put the honor of this woman, her rival, in her hands. The world had long since forgotten this poor unfortunate; in no heart was her memory cherished save in that of her husband. His idea of her was a false one to be sure, but not even to procure her own happiness could Enid . Maitland overthrow that ideal, shatter that, memory. She sat down again with the letters in her hand. It had been very simple a moment since, but it was .not so now. She had but to show hlnT-those letters to remove the great barrier between them. She could not do It. J t was clearly impossible. The reputation of her dead sister who had struggled so bravely to the end was in her hands, she could not sacrifice her even for her own happiness. H "Quixotic," you say? I do not think so. She had blundered unwittingly, unwillingly, upon the heart secret of the other woman; she could not betray it. Even it the other woman had been really unfaithful in de¾d as well as in thought to her husband Enid could hardly have destroyed his recollection of her. How much more impossible it was since the other woman had fought st heroically and so successfully for her honor. Womanhood demanded her silence. Loyalty, honor, compelled her silence. A dead hand grasped his heart and the same dead hand grasped hers. She could see no way out of the difficulty. So far 'as she knew no human soul except old Kirkby and herself knew this woman's story. She could not tell Newbold* and she would have to impose upon Kirkby the same silence as she herself exercised. There was absolutely no way in which the man could | find out. He rhust cherish his dream as ho would, Sihe would not enlighten him, she would not disabuse his mind, she could not shatter his ideal, she could not betray his wife. They might love as tbe angels of heaven and yet be kept forever apart—by a scruple, an idea, a principle, an abstraction, honor, a name. Her mind told her these things were idle and foolish, but her soul would not hear of it. And in spite of her resolutions she felt that eventually there would be some way. She would not have been a human woman if she had not hoped and prayed that. Phe believed that God had created them for each other, that he had thrown them together. She was enough of a fatalist in this instance at least to accent their intimacy as the result of His ordination. /There must be some way out of the dilemma. Yet she knew that he would be true to his belief and she felt that she would not be false to her obliters. Who was he? Was he yet alive? Had he any part to play ln this strange tragedy aside from that he had already assayed? Sometimes an answer to a secret query is made openly. At this juncture Newbold came back. He stopped before her unsteadily, his face now marked not only by the fierceness of the storm outside, but by the fiercer grapple of the storm In his heart. "You have a right," he began, "to know everything now. I can withhold nothing from you." He had in his hand a picture and something yellow that gleamed in the light. "There," he continued extending them toward her, "Is the picture of the poor worhan who loved ghost of suspicion to enter my It may have been a brother, or bei father in his youth." ; "And why did you wear it?" "Because I took it Irom b< heart.

"Yes," she nodded, taking it from him carefully and looking again in a strange commixture of pride, resentment and pity at the bold, somewhat coars^, entirely uncultured, yet handsome face which, gave no evidence of the moral purpose which she had displayed. "And here," said the man offering the other article, "is something that no human eyo but mine has ever seen since that day. It is a locket I took from her neck. Until you came I wore it next to my heart." "And since then?" "Since then I have been unworthy her as I am unworthy you, an^i 1 have put it aside." "Does it contain another picture?" "Yes." "Of her?" "A man's face." "Yours?" He shook his head, "Look and see," he answered. "Press the spring." Suiting action? to word, the next second Enid Maitland found herself gazing upon the pictured semblance of Mr. James Armstrong! She was utterly unable to. suppress an exclamation and a start of surprise at the astonishing revelation. The man looked at her curiously; he opened his mouth to question her but she recovered herself in part at least and swiftly interrupted him in a panic of terror lest she should betray ber knowledge. "And what is the picture of anolher man doing in your wife's locket?" she asked to gain time, for she Very well knew the reply; knew it, indeed, better than Newbold himself! Who as it happened, was equally ' in the dark both as to the man and the reason. "I don't know," answered tbe other. "po you know this man?" "1 nover saw tiijn in my life, that I can recall." ,. "And have you-idid you—* 4< , "Did ! suspect my wife?" be isfeed. "Never. I had too many evidences tbat she loved me and me alone for a its purposes. Enid bad come fronv the Atlantic seaboard to be the second woman that both these two men loved! If she ever saw Mr. James Armstrong again, and she had no doubt that she would, she would have some strange things to say to him. She held in her hands now all the threads of the mystery, she was master of all the solutions, and each thread was a chain that bound her. "My friend" she said at last with a deep sigh, "you must forget; this night and go on as before. You love me, thank God for tbat, but bonqr and respect interpose between- us.

Pa.; but for S^I tfesi, she has made that smoky and .fimii&aaHgned city of her birth of some importance in Newport's very constricted social world. To think of it! The, girl has chosen Newport for her social debut, and she is a signal success even before she is "out!" Victory Won by Beauty. In a word, merely by the charm of ber beauty has fetching *Mlss Moreland won over Newport's heart. 8he ls the envy of the boudoir; the central figure at the Casino; the vision of the Bellevue avenue drive and the belles of the ballroom. Never at Newport before, she ls bidden everywhere. Unless the unexpected^ happens, the girl is certain to be the season's success. The A. M. Moreland family Is among the best known in Pittsburgh. Mr. Moreland is several t l m e B a millionaire and belongs to the best clubs in his home city. Naturally the Morelands move in what Is the best society in Pittsburgh. But "best society" in Pittsburgh is one thing; best society In Newport is quite another. The first may beJ achieved by almost any one with much money, some tact and a little brains. It takes much of all three at Newport and then a lot more. Yachts, autos, a wonderful villa, rare vintages, perfectly appointed dances and dinners, impeccable clothes, an inexhaustible bank account— all will help some—but there is something else<hard to describe. If you are dull and stupid, it is "Good night!" at Newport, no matter how rich ypu are: if you are too clever, the same thing ls apt to eventuate, for social Newport doesn't like to be outshone. Miss Esther appeared at the Casino th«* very next morning with her youngit W4i discovered that she hadn't worn rX, the same frock twice slice she had been in Newport—that is, apart from her attire for tennis and golf, and if these she sported, a big assortment. Some folks even began to say that she had brought so many gowns to Newport that she neeA never wear tbe same one twice all season long. But this was going a little too far. Sufficient to say that there is no young wo-nan's wardrobe in Newport this summer more varied than that of Miss Moreland of Pittsburg, Those who would like to criticise, if for nothing else than pure envy, have found that the pretty girl's taste is faultless. Everything she wears seems meant exactly for her. It is plain to see with half a lorgnette that the Pittsburgh beauty knows just how to wear clothes. Miss Moreland's hats are equally smart and appropriate. Aside from her athletic headgear, she seems to have a new creation topping her head every time she steps out of the house. But clothes are merely a detail in the life of Newport's newest reigning belle. Tall and lithely built, she is an adept at more than'one form of outdoor sport. She plays tennis with dash and skill and she rides a horse with grace and daring. She swims well enough to make Miss Constance Warren and Miss Eleonora Sears look to their laurels rater In the season. She paddles a canoe smartly and she MEN BEHIND THE COUNTER Retail Clerk a Most Important Factor in Merchandising World—Qualifications He Needs. er sister, Miss Mary. She knew some | golfs as well as many of the men of the smart young men and women there that day, and she met others. But there were plenty wbo didn't know her, and wanted to learn something about this handsome young debutante whom everybody had noticed the moment the appeared. "Who 1* she?" ran the rounds, and it wasn't long before the question was answered. Those who bad been there the seasou before, when Colonel Astor brought his fetching young fiance, Miss Madeline Force, to the Casino to meet his friends, likened the crowd around Miss Moreland as she chatted merrily with her new acquaintances to the one which was so anxious to see what sort of a girl Colonel Astor had chosen for his wife. In Absolute Perfection. There wasn't a thing that could be criticised about the ttewcomer, and at a place where everybody wants only half a chance* to do so. She was irreproachably dressed in an exquisitely simple frock of white yachting flannel and a wide-brimmed Panama hat tricked out with gray ribbon. Those who looked more closely noted that her complexion was delicately perfect, that her eyes were big and black; that ber features were classically regular, and that her mouth, both as she laughed or in her serious moods, was delicately ^molded. "She's the best looking gtrlywe've had here this season," was the comment of more than one woman of fashion, and even more would have admitted It had they spoken what was most In their minds. And as for the men, they showed by their actions So the Pittsburgh beauty is bound to be popular with the youths who like girls when they lead the outdoor life. The.Season's Success. "She's the success of the season!** say many who have met her. and if such predictions are worth anything, Miss Moreland's star will soon be in the zenith. The Fourth of July festivities found her the life of the day. The Morelands entertained a large party for the week-end, and at the Casino their daughter appeared in some of the daintiest dresses that Paris can fashion. Miss Moreland was everywhere, but perhaps she was more stunning than ever when she ran down the beach in her silken bathing suit to take her first plunge of the season in the waves which roll exclusively on Bailey's beach, where fashion disports itself. "She'll do!" was the verdict of even the hypercritical, as they snap-shotted her with their ever-ready lorgnettes. —New York World.

Next day Miss Moreland's first appearance was down on narrow, tortuous Thames street, where most of the shops are. She was in a smart red runabout with her sister. Again the Pittsburg belle was as big and smart as a Paris model as she piloted her machine deftly through the throng of autos and victorias with all the aplomb of a professional chauffeur. This time Miss Moreland was in blue serge and a flaring flat hat • '\ Approval Stamped at Once. That day at the Casino the newcomer was the center of the liveliest little group on the lawns—it waa plain to Wee that she was "the go." In a week she had met all the desirable young men then in Newport. At the same time Mrs. Moreland was renewing old acquaintances made in New York and abroad, and receiving invitations to some of the smartest affairs ot tho early season. Almost every little or great ailment throughout your system affects your nerves. Your eyes and liver and lungs and stomach and heart and many other things throughout your system all "take it out" on the poor nerves If they happen to be a bit out of order themselves. Recent discoveries show that 90 per cent of nervous troubles are due to other disorders. Eye-strain Is one cause. Not only those who have to use their eyes constantly, like students and lapidaries and miniature artists and engravers, but city folks who live and work where their vision is restricted are all sufferers from nervous troubles, more or less. The eye wants to get exercise as well as the muscles. Living in narrow streets and gazing out across little alleys against brick walls, rushing into narrow cars and hurrying into small rooms all keep the vision down to narrow limits, and pretty soon eye-strain sets in, and this brings on nervous trouble. And one of the peculiarities of this is J.hat many people will not notice that they have eye-strain because the nervous disorder that results will be so much worse than the cause. Eyestrain is much less common in the country. Working in the stooped position, curving the spine, brings pressure on the tiny blood vessels and this in turn acts on the nerves. "I get so nervous sitting still," one will say. As a matter of fact the continual pressure on the spine reacts on the nerves. As sedentary occupations are more common in the cities there is more nervousness from this cause in cities. Liver troubles bring on quick nervous disorders, city noises in time affect the ears and the nerves are again in for a siege of trouble. Not even at night or during sleep is there complete quiet in the city. Women become irritable because of excessive blood pressure, and again it is their nerves that suffer—also every one else about them is apt to suffer.—New York American. Reams and reams of stuff have been written about the qualifications of a man in most every trade and profession, but when we get right down to cases the same qualities that make a successful clerk would make a successful man in any line. I have read with much amusement articles on the clerk's deportment and things of that sort by men who have built up successful mercantile businesses, and they tell how the clerks should always be neat and clean, finger nails trimmed, voice modulated, and give advice of that nature in large doses. I believe th~at any human being wbo amounts to much, no matter how he earns his living, has enough selfrespect and pride to care for his personal appearance. The two qualifications most necessary to success are. of course, knowing what to do and how to do it. While service must be the watchword of every business, whether it be manufacturing or mercantile, I do not know of any man who must carry oift the word "service" to its fullest extent more than the retail clerk. I believe that salesmanship over the counter calls for just as high an order of salesmanship a* salesmanship on the road, and in my experience behind the retail counter I made it a point to study the character and likes and dislikes of all the regular customers,, so as to make them permanent customers, and to do the same with tbe chance customers so as to make them regular customers. To go on in an abstract way naming the different qualities, specifying them as courage, perseverance* etc., which a clerk should have is simply to enumerate the qualities which are necessary to make any man a success. I. believe that it is the time that ensues between waiting on customers that works most damage in a retail store. TbV clerk should kee^ himself occupied during that time in keeping his stock in shape and figuring out little schemes for displaying the goods-and talking them, BO that when he goes to bat the next time a customer comes to his counter he isn't thinking of matters foreign to the business. If the clerk has any ambition at all, and he Isn't much of a clerk.unless he does have, he desires to become tbe proprietor of the store himself, or to become a traveling salesman. It doesn't make any difference which desire he has. the means to the end are the same—tp study his employer's business as if it were bis own, to know all the why of everything, the buying, the accounting, as well as the selling. I believe that every retail clerk will take a renewed interest in his work if he wilt think of his work not as simply the handing of something across the counter, but as work which 1B the most vital and most important in the business world. Practically all the products of the world are eventually sold across the counter by the retail clerk, and to just the degree that he studies his work and its. significance will he become a factor in the mercantile world. W H Y I T t O A D V E R T I S E f B Y H E R B E R T C. MAY. There are many owners of enterprises who must be convinced that advertising will benefit them. There are many others who believe they should advertise, and would, if they knew how. By telling them what others have done, are doing and how they did it, it is possible to be an aid to them, in learning how to apply advertising to their own particular needs. They will learn through exchanging and discussing experiences and plans practised by others. These experiences and discussions are to be h a t t by reading, by association, by listening to others talk and discuss advertising. When you once thoroughly feel the necessity of advertising and begin its study it will be found to be one of the most fascinating studies you can make. Its foundation rests upon the science of psychology. What is more entertaining than studying how to influence and direct other people's minds to follow yours? Every advertiser is or should be a firm believer in bringing to the nonadvertiser a knowledge of tbe benefits to be derived from honest, truthful advertising. The influence produced by the advertising of a n article, a city or state, by several individuals, is catholic. The C a t h o l i c i s m , even though each desires to sell only his own particular goods, in proportion, c r e a t e s a greater demand than does a single advertiser. Each thereby receives greater returns than if he had the entire field and had to develop it himself. In a few instances the public's confidence has been imposed upon by dishonest advertisers. This has caused some doubt to exist as to the truthfulness and honesty of all advertisers. This d o u b t has almost been eliminated. It is a fact n o w that unless an advertiser's g o o d s a r e meritorious and reliable, he cannot be permanently successful. You have heard men Bay that they d o n ' t believe in advertising, that they give the customer the benefit saved thereby. That sounds very nice to the customer who wants to believe it without Investigating. Have you ever found that he sold as good goods at a better price than the man who advertises? Who pays for the advertising, anyhow? The advertiser doesn't, for he would go broke. The consumer doesn't, for he would refuse to trade with the advertiser. Nobody pays for It—but it pays both the advertiser and Che consumer. As the advertising becomes more effective, demand for the commodity increases and its cost of manufacture and selling decreases to the point where the manufacture and selling becomes BO highly specialized that the cost is cut from 50 to 100 per cent. The advertiser then finds that by lowering his selling price a larger field ls opened up among a class of people who before could not afford to pay the price. P E R S U A D I N G M A R Y !

That newspapers are better mediums than magazines for advertising automobiles is the conclusion of the Henderson Motor Car company of Indianapolis. It has turned to the use of newspapers exclusively as a result of an experiment made with newspaper advertising on a large scale, the results of which are stated by the general manager in this paragraph: "The returns from the beginning of our campaign were simply wonderful We were forced to add and keep adding to our stenographic and clerical force until we were working almost twice as many stenographers as any automobile concern in Indiana, And still we were behind. It has simply been impossible to take immediate care of the flood of .telegrams and letters of application for the Henderson agency which we have been receiving." Those Priceless Moments.

"Well?" asked Mary, expectantly. "Billy Disbrow called this afternoon, didn't he, dear?" asked M r s . Dickson, hesitatingly. "Yes." p "I'm sorry, dear, but you are sure* you are not making a mistake?" Mrs. DicksolTshrrri^led over the words. "I'm quite sure, Momsy," said Msry quietly, and just then she was called away and MrsrDlckson stepped to the? study door and spoke to her husband. "Mary says she is sure she is not making any mistake, James," she said gravely. "If she really wants to marry Billy Disbrow we must do all we can to make her happy. He i s not bad—merely weak." "The deuce!" exclaimed Mary's father, frowning, When Mary came into the study to tell him that dinner would be ready In fifteen minutes and there was barely time for him to dress, Mr. Dickson pulled his only daughter down on his knee. "I met Billy Disbrow coming oat of the gate, Mary 1 hope you won't be foolish." He hesitated. Uery looked at him with troubled eyes. «1 suppose he is- what you would call a good match," she murmured, unwillingly. "Of course, you don't have to think Df that, my dear;" "He's nice, too, father. He has a» lovely disposition." "Well—daughter, think It over, ami don't decide hastily. I haven't seen Ford around lately. I'm sorry, too." "Oh, you won't be—later—when yott know!" she said quickly. "Know what?" he asked, curiously* "Oh, I can't tell you just now* father! Not until tomorrow, Do your know what day it is?" "It's the twenty-fifth anniversary of our wedding day." "What I've got to say will be your wedding gift from me," whispered Mary, and then she ran away. While dessert was being served Mary was called away from the tablo by a ring at the tefephone. When the three elders were alone, Great-Aunt Becky spoke up. "I saw young BiMy Disbrow going: away from here this afternoon. I hope> Mary is not leading him a dance. I believe I will speak to her." " g They were lekving the room when." Aunt Becky asked Mary to help her Into the big chair in front of t h * drawing-room fire. Mary's parents, discreetly withdrew to another room* It was possible that Aunt Becky might accomplish where they had failed.. She was an old ,Iady of keen insight into human nature and a< wide experience. "My dear," began Aunt Becky* abruptly, "why under the sun are yotL going to marry Billy Disbrow?1* Mary started at her great aunt. "But I'm not going to marry him,*? she said at last ' "Whom are you going to marry,. then?" demanded Aunt Becky* withvery bright eyes. "Ford Layton," confessed Mary, with crimsoning cheeks. "I've been, trying to break the news to all of you, but you insist on urging me t o marry Billy Disbrow——so I thought I'd wait until Ford—he's coining tomorrow— and I promised to tell before he came." "My dear Mary, they were trying to» warn you against young Disbrow!" exclaimed Aunt Becky, delighted beyond measure at this outcome. "You shall have my diamond chain for a wedding., present!' "Aunt Becky, you're a dear!" cried*; Mary, hugging her warmly: "I don't: see how any one could dream of m y w caring for any one but Ford." "What was young Disbrow doing here today?" "I geuss—he was here to hear me>: say 'No' to him," admitted Mary. "And why did he telephone yott to-- night?" "I rather think he wanted to hear me say it again," she smiled, ruefuUy.

Clods III:: I was suprised on a morning in early February to find Bishop Simonton's carriage before Randolph Mason's bouse. I have known churchmen to appeal to Mason in desperate straits, perhaps upon a theory that one should try all temporal doors before knocking on the gates of alabaster. But that tbe esthetic and venerable Bishop of New York should require profane assistance was quite beyond belief. I pulled up short by my ancient friend, the crossing policeman. "Scally," I said, "I believe the ra^r ages of age are beginning to mark me. Can it'be Bishop Simonton's carriage I see yonder?" Tbe great Celt rapped himself gently on the belt plate with his club. **Sure," he said, "it's not the ravages of age that's doln' ye any harm this mornin*, Misther Parks. 'Tls his nib's wagon, all right." "Some aldermen must be squatting on the Church lands," I said, Ho bring this good man out at a quarter before ten on a winter morning." "Wist!" replied the Irish king half covering hiB mouth with his gloved hand; '* 'tis a woman." Then he crossed the street to stop a line of drays. 1 The mystery was now beyond conjecture. I walked on slowly to the gate and up the flag-path to the house. Certain airy, netralous conceptions had, from the pleasantries of early Italian letters and recent scandalous posters along the hook stalls, presented themselves with piquant explanations. Within the house a second and greater surprise awaited me. Pietro met me at the door saying that Randolph Mason wished instantly to see me. I gave Pietro my coat and hat and went at once to the private office. My state of mental flippancy had little prepared me for the type of woman who arose as I entered. I have not seen her like in New York. If the word elegant were not so thumbed, I should write it here as descriptive of her—not in a tinseled or bedizened sense, but as the panther is elegant, as the red silken horses of a rajah are elegant. High breeding, down an immemorial line, produces such animals, time, through a hundred generations, carving carefully, like a gem engraver. Tail, supple and straight; the eye steady, calm, reserved, fearless, the nose straight and thin; the Hps fine, delicate and resolute; the chin up; the black, glossy hair parted in tbe middle and brushed back. She was gowned in well-fitting black. This woman was perhaps fifty years old. I Instantly fitted her into the frame of a casement window along the battery In Charleston, or the white columns of an estate on the James., I bowed as she turned toward me. I think the statue of Nathan Hale, outside in the flurry of BUOW, would also have bowed had it been standing in my Bhoes. She did not apeak to me at all, but waited in dignified silence for Mason to say what was necessary to be said. Mason was standing by his table, tapping it impatiently with the tips of his long, sensitive fingers. I thought the lines along his mouth were broken a bit, his eyes a trifle warmer. But this was certainly a fancy, for when he spoke it was in his usual cold voice. "Parks," he said, "you must find a certain variety actress, calling herself Madame Versay. She has in her possession case of pearls belonging to Miss Caroline PIckney. She will demand ten thousand dollars in cash for the return of these jewels. You will Say to her that Miss Pickney has finally arranged to pay her this money. That on the tenth day of i^ebruary at ten o'clock, the vault officer of the Jefferson Trust company, in the city of Richmond, in the presence of Miss Pickney here and you, will deliver to her ten thousand dollars in currency. She must bring with her the case of jewels and hand It over to the vault officer, who, upon the payment of the money, will give it to Miss Pickney. This Madame Versay is said £o be under the protection of one Robert Henderson, a police detective of New York. This person may also be present, if Madame Versay wishes him to be. You will arrange for this purchase with Madame Versay. You will then accompany Miss Pickney to Richmond and be present with her at the transfer of the money\ Miss Pickney will personally attend to the other details of the matter." When Randolph Mason had finished speaking, the woman picked up a long coat from her chair and began to put It on. I helped her with the collar of i t She thrust her black-gloved hands in tbe deep pockets, then sho turned to Mason. "These Jewels were brought from India by my great-grandfather," she said, "they were worn by my greatgrandmother N at her wedding; by my grandmother; by my mother. Their value to me is beyond astimate. S t i l i J do not wish to violate either the laws of Virginia or those of the United States in order to recover them. I do not greatly fear |he laws of Virginia. It cannot be that my fathers have made laws that would permit a creature like this actress to r e t a i l my inheritance. But I wish to he assureoV"M?rMason, of the entire Mason's face showed annoyance. "Madame," he said, "a rubber of whist could not be safer." "Then," said the woman, "I bid you good-morning." A little snow was falling, and I accompanied Miss Caroline Pickney to Bishop Simonton's carriage, tucked in the skirts of her great coat and closed the door. I think she must have taken me for a sort of upper servant, since she gave no evidence of my presence, except a stately nod at the carriage window. Here was a fine bundle of mysteries, coupled with the direction of Mason to go out and find Madame Versay. Find an unknown variety actress, only the devil's imps knew where. Such birds had no marked tree to roost in; besides, this person was probably Madame Gladys by now, or Estelle something or other. I could not go back to Mason for further light. He would stare at me and walk away. My directions were accurate; find Madame Versay first and then go to Richmond. I turned up the collar of my great coat, and went down for a conference with the omniscent Scally, I found him directing commerce with the gestures of a Roman praetor. I darted past the row of cabs to his island of safety and seized his hand. A moment later, when the tide had passed, he took my bill from between the finger? pf his glove and held ft under his broad thumb; then he smiled benignly. "Misther Parks," he .said, " 'tis the speed limit you are after wishin' to exceed?" "No," I said; "I am the King of the Golden Mountain on the quest of a fairy." "Go along; you're foolin'," he said. "By no means," I answered; "I want to find Madame Versay." He whistled softly. "Madame Versay, is it! 'Tis only the devil that knows where she is now, but where she'll be at one tonight, 'tis Scally that knows as well as the devil. In a dago cafe on the Bowery, which is next door to Paddy Moran's dance hall, she will be atin' and drinkin' and carryin' on. She's a bad one, this Madame Versay. T i s back to the tall weeds your friend Soally would advise you to be goin'." At half-past twelve that n^ght, I found Madame Versay, and the cafe called "dage" by my friend Scally. It was a fragment of Paris, transplanted to the Bowery by Monsieur Popinot, an oily, obsequious little creature from the Montmartre. He came running out to the curb to bow me in-—the coming of a hansom was an event. He enumerated his ware9 with true Latin enthusiasm. His caviare had arrived that very day. It w i s "magnlflque," and his wines! ah, monsieur, he alone in all this raw land had wines! His brother Anselem hunted France, nosed it, fingered it, tasted it, that he, Popinot, might' have champagne, fragrant like those little meadows nestling at the foothills of the Pyrenees. Burgundy, red like the poppies in the wheat fields of the Oise; and absinthe—here language failed him. He clasped his hands, "Ravissante, monsieur!" Madame Popinot, who presided over the cash drawer by the door, beamed upon me as I entered. She was a daughter of the little shops along the Seine, fat and vigilant, knowing instantly if the newcomer had the price of a glass of wine in his pocket. A virtue of the highest order to her; doubtless the only one remaining. I selected a little table by the wall, and, not wishing to be poisoned, ordred a bottle of bass ale and and a plate of dry biscuits, wiping out Popinot's disgust with a generous tip. The place was evidently a Bohemian rendezvous of a low order. The atmosphere was a stench of tobacco and sour wine, the floor was freshly sprinkled with new sawdust The chairs and tables were of metal. Iron alone could resist large primitive emotions •when they got in action. The crash of an elbow, the heave of a heavy boot- 'toe, did net wreck a wire chair. It could be straightened presently in the crack of a door. The place was filling up with jetsam from the undercurrents of New York* Gentlemen going swiftly down to the sill of,the world, beasts coming up from it, get somehow info evening clothes, sat well together under Monsieur Popinot's many colored * lights. It was the. de* pravlty oH?aris without a touch of its seductive esprit. The naive, mischievous greeting of the Moulin Rouge and' the Folie Bergere, "Je vous aime, donnez- moi cinq francs," was not here. This place was an oak for crows. I wondered on what limb of it perched Madame Versay. I was about to summon the good Popinot to my assistance, when a young man, very drunk, came in, accompanied by a woman in a superb opera coat. They took tbe table opposite to mine. The young man wore a soft slouch hat, which he promptly threw on the floor. Then he began to hammer on the table with the ferrule of his walking stick and shout, "Heah, heah, Popinot, you old dog, a bottle of gundy for Madame Versay. It's; ihe wine of love and laughter." . My eyes went Instantly to the woman. She was a medium-size, consplcu*. tigursj ,exos)lent^ma,juid throat, made the most of by a low gown of hijack velvet. Her complexion was the usual sort to be had from boxes and paint pots. Her mouth was a perfect cupld's bow, and exquisite. Her nose was bourgeois, but not obtrusive and not bad. Her eyes, however, were utterly bad. They reminded me of cold tallowv— Ho^-brigii^yeUow-hair was coiled an the top of her head to give an effect of height and to lengthen her f a s & , . J V M l e _ h ^ ^ was unspeakably drunk, this woman was coldly sober. She constantly refilled tbe man's glass, but scarcely tasted her own. I was evidently spectator at the epilogue of a quarrel which Madame Versay was striving to drown in the mixture of alcohol and claret that Popinot sold for Burgundy. She spoke almost in whispers, but now and then the man broke out in a voice that I could hear. "No, I won't wait no moan. I want them back. You said you only wanted them to star in. That's what you said; to star in," Madame Versay patted him on the arm and cooed over him, but her face was aa cold as a wedge. The man harped on the one idea. "No; I was drunk. Didn't I tell you I was drunk when I did it? and they've got to go , back to her." Madame Versay suddenly changed her tactics. She leaned over, seized the young man by the collar and shook While we awaited the chasing-in of Bobbie, I drew the celebrity out a little on the subject of the slumbering youth. He was ah only nephew of Miss Caroline Pickney and her half' brother, Bishop Slmonton of New York. He was an orphan and a very ebon sheep. Having fallen a victim to Madame Versay's charms, he had shouldered the onerous duties of an "angel," "burned bis money," and finally "swiped" the Jewels from his relative and bestowed them on this Dulcinea. These jewels Madame Versay thought it advisable to retain, since the law could not "take a fall out of her" without "jugging" the youth. She appealed to me to affirm the moral soundness of her attitude in this. A poor girl must look out for herself. I was spared the embarrassment of a decision on so fexed a question by the arrival of Bobbie Henderson. I was also glad of all the people in the Cafe la Lune d'Or when he came burst- . ing in it. He was a person with a variegated waistcoat, many seals and yellow diamonds, and a face that would have convicted him before any jury in America without a word of evidence for tbe state. He sailed xdown upon me with the bluster of the east wind, "Flash your star," he said, "or jar loose from the lady." H1B language was beyond nie, but his manner admitted of no doubt. Madame Versay sprang up and him. What she said I could not hear, \ thrust her elbow vigorously into the but the effect on the drunken youth f region of his diaphragm. 'Cut it out, was marked. He pleaded in blabberering slobbers: "That's all right, you keep them; they're yours. You dissolve them in vin'ger and drink 'em like Cle-patra. You're good lil* thing, you're a good, l i l ' , sweet thing." The man's drooling grew gradually inarticulate, his head wobbled. Presently he made an ineffectual effort to Bobbie" she said, "you ain't wise to the gent. He's no plain-clothes Johnnie. This thing's business." Mr. Robert Henderson was illumined. He drew up a chair and expressed bis desolation at the error. Then the three of us got down to the details of Madame Versay's "business." • The offer to pay cash was pleasing to pat Madame Versay's porcelain cheek, j Mr. Henderson. It "sounded good;" Pediflce publiqns, one taw instantly the fitness of it He, Popinot, waa a genius of the first order. , , ) And so I left bim, shaking' in the door, and calling upon Olympus to send down his meed of bay-leaves. Incomparable Popinot pf the Golden'Moon! Shortly before ten o'clock on the tenth day of February, I walked from my hotel over to the Jefferson Trust company in the city of Richmond. I was taken at once into the vault of the safety deposit boxes, where I found Miss Caroline Pickney and the vault officer, Mr. Montague "-Thomas. This young man greeted me courteously, but I,had only another stately nod from Miss Pickney. She would never come to understand the social order of a commercial civilization. One who took directions from another, no matter in how exalted a sphere that other sat, was a variety of servant it was the theory of the master bred in deep, and persisting into commercial age. Promptly at ten, Mr. Robert Henderson arrived. He wore a large checked ulster, a top hat and astonishingly yellow gloves. He greeted me as a lost neighbor discovered in a distant country, shook vigorously the rather limp hand of Mr. Montague Thomas, but went back on his heels before Miss Caroline Pickney. She did not see him, she never saw him. I appreciated the need to get the matter speedily over, and requested Mr. Henderson to allow Miss Pickney to examine the jewels. He threw open his ulster, revealing a small leather handbag, secured to his waist by a chain, such as is used by bank messengers. He opened the bag and took out an ancient black leather case, which he also opened and held in his hand. In it, lying coiled up against the lining of old purple velvet was a pyramid pin, two drop earings and a strand of oriental pearls. Miss Pickfrom fte lady." and fell forward with his arms outstretched op the table. Popinot's Burgundy was indeed distilled from the poppies of tbe Oise! The woman ordered a tumbler df whisky and drank it like water. My hour bad arrived. 1 arose and threaded a way to her table. "Have I the honor," I said, "to address Madame Versay?" A further light came into the cold, tallow eyeSv "Not so loud " she said. "Are you a plain-clothes Johnnie?" i I assured her that I had attained to no such dignity as that. I was merely one coming under a flag ofriruce with a message from Miss Caroline Pickney. I taid this over several times and in a variety of ways before Madame's suspicions were soothed down. Then I laid before her the offer to pay ten thousand dollars cash for the jewels. A clean cut trade and no questions. The money In her hands for the jewels In ours. I did not go further into the place or details of payment, that would better follow a little later on. "I'll stand for that," said Madame Versay, "if it's Straight goods; hut you will have to show it to Henderson. If he don't flag It, the old hen can have her shiners." I wondered mildly if we might find Henderson somewhere. "Sure," and Madame Versay. Then she summoned Popinot, "Call up Henderson's Detective Agency" she directed, "and tell BobMe to chase j n here." • ^ but he would take no chance on a "doubl* cross" being "handed out." The money must be paid in his presence at a bank. No "meet me under the oak tree" for him. He was "onto" the Iniquities of tbe human family. By gradual, indirect suggestions, I uncovered the plan to pay at the Jefferson Trust company in Richmond under his eye. He took to that. It was "the old hen's nest" to be sure, but doubtless tbe only place where she could gather up so large a "wad of dough." And thus, after many glasses of vile brandy, which, on my part, I managed to tip out deftly.into the sawdust, we got the"businessM closed. M r . Robert Henderson nearly crushed my hand at parting. It was so rare a thing, he saidr to meet one of his "kind of gentlemen" nowadays. Madame Versay beamed, and we parted in .genial fashion. I had a word with Popinot at the door, after ©itfng the itching in his palm with a silver dollar. "Poof!" he said, Madame Versay waa less branch than his cafe cat. She was born in Harlem under a shamrock., S#e had heard him, Popinot, name the' divine Versailles in a flood of longing for his native country. The name pleased her; she implored him to say it again and yet again, until.she. got it and so came "Madame Versay." "Mo'n Dion! one's sides split themselves with laughter. A grisette named for a palace. Monsieur Villon never' did so excellent a 'naming. L a demi*moudef ncy expressed satisfaction to Mr. Montague Thomas and directed bim to open the safety deposit box. The young man fitted the key into the lock of box number 320, and drew down tbe door, showing the little steel vault packed with banknotes. He took out the money in packages each enlosed by a printed slip, such as are commonly used by banks, and marked "Two thoussnd dollars."*' Mr. Robert Henderson handed me one end of the jewel-case to hold, and, with his free hand, he stowed these five packs of bills into the little handbag. When he had tbet last one safely in, he relaxed his grip on the jewelcase, locked his hapdbag and hurried out of the bank. I handed the case to Miss Caroline Pickney. She opened it and caressed the jewels lovingly. But she said no word, and gave no evidence of tbe great emotion tugging at her except the trembling of her hands. Then she put the ea^ejn her bosom and went down to ber^Bterjage in the company of Mr. Montague^fjhomas. I went out behind the palrStf them. Not in aU my life had I b oughly puzzled. What did need with Randolph Maso tended to pay a painted full value of the jewels, sergeant could have done as he. What need was there to E scouting into the Tenderloin a here,?

The explanation, ebe found, left her wondering just 'where and how her own fate was linked with that of this poor white. "You have been waiting some time to see me?" she asked. "Ever since along about noon." "You were afraid to come to the house?" f *"i didn't want to be seen there." ? ""And yet, you knew I was aione." \ ^Alone—-but how do you know who's ''watching the place?" "Do you think there was reason to be afraid of that?" asked Betty. Again the girl stamped her foot with angry impatience. "You're just wastin' time—Just fool- In' It away—and you ain't got none to epare!" "You must tell me what 1 have to fear—I must know more or 1 snail and her hand stole up to her heart, and, white and slim, rested against the black fabric of her dress. "Don't you be scared. Miss Betty I - said Hannibal. They went silently from the house and again crossed the lawn to the terrace. Under the leafy arch which can* opled them there was already the deep purple of twilight "Do you reckon it were Captain Murrell shot Mr. Norton, Miss Betty?" asked Hannibal in a shuddering whisper. "Hush^-Oh, hush, Hanniball It is too awful to even speak of—w and, sobbing and half hysterical, she covered her face with her hands. "But where are we going, Miss Betty?" asked the boy. "I don't know, dear!" She had an agonizing sense ot the night's approach and of her own utter helplessness. "I'll tell you what, Miss Betty, let's go to the Judge and Mr. Mahaffy*/' said Hannibal. "Judge Price?" She had not thought of him as a possible protector. "Why, Miss Betty, ain't I told you be ain't afraid of nothing? We couid walk to Raleigh easy if you don't want your niggers to hook up a team for you." Betty suddenly remembered the car. riage which had taken the Judge Into town; she was sure it had not yet returned. "We will go to the Judge, Hannibal!; George, who drove him into Kaleign, has not come back; If we hurry we may meet him on the road." Screened by the thick shadows, they passed up the path that edged the bayous at the head of the inlet thoy entered a clearing, and crossing this they came to the corn-field which lay between the house and the highroad. Following one of the shock rows they hurried to the mouth of the lane. "Hannibal, 1 don't want to tell the judge why I am leaving Belle Plain —about the woman, I mean," said Betty. "You reckon they'd kill her, don't you, Miss Betty, If they knew what she'd done?" speculated tho boy. It occurred to him that an adequate explanation of their flight would require preparation, since the Judge was at ail times singularly alive to the slightest discrepancy of statement. They had issued from the corn-field and went along the road toward Kaleigh. Suddenly Betty paused. "Hark!" she whispered. "It were nothing, Miss Betty," said Hannibal reassuringly, and they hurried forward again. In the utter stillness through which they moved Betty heard the beating of her own. heart, .and the soft and ail but inaudible patter of the boy's bare feet on the warm dust of the road. Vague formB that away, aad then as quickly turned hack and faced Betty once more. "1 reckon lie'd kill me if he knew—I reckon I've earned that already—" "Of whom are you speaking?" "He'll, have you away from here tonight!" ; "'He? . . . who . . . and what if I refuse to go?" "Did they ask Charley Norton whether ;he .wanted to live or die?" came the sinister question, A shiver passed through Betty. She, was seeing it all again—Charley as he groped among the graves With the hand of death heavy upon him. ';• A moment late*- sho was alone. Tne girl had disappeared. There were oni# the shifting shadows as the wind tossed the branches of the trees, and the bands of golden light that slanted along the empty frath. The fear of the unknown leaped u p afresh in Betty's soul; in an instant flying feet had Oorne her to the boy's side. * -Come—tomb quick, Hannibal!" ahe gasped out, and seized his hand. "What Is It,* Miss Betty?. What's, the matter J" asked'Haflntbal as they lied panting up the terraces. " "\ don't know—only we must get . away from*bete just as soon as we can!" Then, Welng the look of alarm on the child's face, she added more ' quietly, "Don't be frightened, 6*ar, only we must go away from Belie ' Plain at once." . $u,t where, they were to go, she had riot considered. :" Reaching the house, they stole to • j, Betty's rcoxq.

The girl turned] resolved themselves into trees and bushes seemed to creep toward them out of the night's black uncertainty. Once more Betty paused. "It were nothing, Miss Betty," said Hannibal as before, and he returned to his consideration of the judge. He sensed something of that intellectual nimbleness which his patron's physical make-up in nowlBe suggested, since his face was a mask that usually left one in doubt as to just how much of what he heard succeeded in making its impression on him; but the boy knew that Slocum Price's blind side was a shelterless exposure. "You don't think the carriage couid have passed us while we were crossing the corn-field?" said Begy. "No, I reckon we couldn't a-missed hearing it," answered Hannibal. Ho had scarcely spoken when they caught the rattle of wheels and the beat of hoofs. These sounds swept nearer and nearer, and the darkness disgorged the Belle Plain team and carriage. "George!" cried Betty, a world of relief in her tones. "Whoa, you!" and George reined m his horses with a Jerk. "Who's dar?" he asked, bending forward on the box as he sought to pierce the darkness with his glance. "George—-" "Oh, it you, Missy?" "Yes, I wish you to drive me into Raleigh," said Betty, and she and Hannibal entered the carriage. "All right, Missy. Yo'-all ready fo' me to go along out 0' here?" "Yes—drive fast, George!" urged Betty. "It's right dark fo' fas' driving', Missy, with the read Jes' aimin' fo' to bus' yo' springs with chuckhoies!" He had turned his horses' heads In tbe direction of Raleigh while he was speaking. "It's scandalous black In these heah woods, Missy—I 'clar* 1 never seen it no blacker!" ff The carriage swung forward for perhaps a hundred years, then suddenly the horses came to a dead stop. "Go along on, dar!" cried George, and struck them with his whip, but the horses only reared and plunged. "Hold on, nigger!" said a rough voice out of the darkness. "What yo' doln'?" the coachman gasped. "Don' yo' know dis de Belle Plain carriage? Take yo' ban's offen dem hosses' bits!" Two men stepped to the side of the carriage. "Show your light, Bunker," said the same rough voice that had spoken before, Instantly a hooded lantern was uncovered, and Hannibal uttered a cry of terror. He was looking Into the face of Slosson, the tavern-keeper. CHAPTER XIX. Prisoners. In the face of Betty's indignant protest Slosson and the man named Bunker climbed into the carriage. "Don't you be scared, ma'am," said the tavern-keeper, who smelt strongly of whisky. "I wouldn't lift my hand ag'in no good-looking female except in kindness." "How dare you stop my carriage?" cried Betty, with a very genuine an- -,v\ A \ , H i W u looking into tht Pact V SI«O*»M, th».T«vom>kot9«r.' my ger which for the moment dominated all her other emotions. She struggled to her feet, but Slosson put out a heavy hand and thrust her back. "There now/' he urged soothingly. "Why make a fuss? We ain't going to harm you; we wouldn't for no sum of money. Drive on, Jim—drive like hell!" This last was addressed to the man who had taken George's place on the box, .where a fourth member of Slosson'8 band had forced the coachman down into the narrow space between the seat and dashboard, and was holding a pistol to his head while he sternly enjoined silence. With a word to the horses Jim swung about and the carriage rolled off through the night at a breakneck pace. Betty's shaking hands drew Hannibal closer to her side as she felt the surge of her terrors rise within her. Who were these men—where could they be taking her—and for what purpose? The events of the past week linked themselves In tragic sequence in her mind. What was it she had to fear? Was it Tom for whom these men wore acting? Tom who would profit greatly by her disappearance or death! They swept past the entrance at Belle Plain, past a break in the wall of the forest where the pale light ot stars showed Betty the cornfield she and Hannibal had but lately crossed, and then on Into pitchy darkness again. She clung to the desperate hope that they might meet some one on the road, when she could cry out and give the alarm. She held herself in readiness for this, but there was only the steady pounding of the big bays as Jim with voice and whip urged them forward. At last he abruptly checked ,them, and Bunker and Slosson sprang from their seats. "Get down, ma'am!" said the latter. "Where are you taking me?" asked Betty, in a voice that shook In spite of her efforts to control it. "You must hurry, ma'am," urged Slosson Impatiently. "I won't move until I know where you intend taking me!" said Betty. "If I am to die—" Mr. SIOSEOU laughed loudly and indulgently. "You ain't. If you don't want to walk, I^'m man enough fo' to tote you. We ain't far to go, and I've tackled Jobs I'd* a lieap less heart fo' In my time," he concluded gallantly. From the opposite side of the carriage Bunker swore nervously. He desired to know if they were to stand there talking all night. "Shut your illthy mouth, Bunker, and see you keep tight hold of that young rip-staver," said Slosson. "He's a perfect eel—I've had dealings with him afore!" "You tried to kill my Uncle Bob-pat the tavern, you and Captain Murrell. I heard you, and I seen you drag him to the river!" cried Hannibal. Slosson gave a start of astonishment at this. "Why, ain't he hatetul?" he exclaimed aghast. "See here, young feller, that's no kind of a way fo' you to talk to a' man who has rlz his ten children!" Again Bunker swore, while Jim told Slosson to make haste. This popular clamor served to recall the tavernkeeper to a sense of duty. "Ma'am, like 1 should tote you, or will you walk?" he inquired, and reaching out his hand took hold ot Betty. "I'll walk," said the girl quickly, shrinking from the contact. "Keep close at my heels. Bunker, you tuck along after her with the boy." "What about this nigger?" asket the fourth man. "Fetch him along with us," said Slosson. They turned from the road while ho was speaking and entered a narrow path that led off through the woods, apparently in the direction of the river. A moment later Betty heard the carriage drive away. They went onward In silence for a little time, then Slosson spoke over his shoulder. "Yes, ma'am, I've ris ten children* but none of 'em was like him—i trained 'em np to the minute!" Mr. Slosson seemed to have passed com* plotely under the spell of his domes* tic recollections, for he continued with just a touch of reminiscent sad* noss in his tone. "There was all told four Mrs. Slossons: two of 'em was South Carolinians, one was from Georgia, and the last was a widow lady out of east Tennessee; She'd burled three husbands, and I figured We could start perfectly even." Tha intrinsic fairness of this start made its strong appeal. Mr. Slosson dwelt upon it with satisfaction. "Sho had three to her. credit, I had three to mine; neither «ould crow none orer tho other."

U : i The National Dairy Show, having arranged for a permanent home in which* to* forward the Dairy industry aall of its branched and recognizing e cow as the foundation of ail things Dairy, is undertaking to build an annual Exposition that will not alone prove to be a school for the farmer, but an advocate ot "the highest typo for the more general and varied use pf theV products ot tho Dairy. To do this successfully" we must first have the attention and interest of the farmer and dairyman; next the support cf the many interests allied with and collateral branches of the industry. With this thought in mind, the management of the National Dairy Show desires to report progress made for the 1912 show to be held in Chicago, October 24 to November 2. We have assurances from the best breeders of the different breeds of cattle that they will be with us, and for purposes of competition we have arranged a very complete classification, and by obtaining the very strongest talent for judges, who will be selected with tho sole purpose in view of making a rib-i bon at this great National Show an article of supreme value, settling the question of show yard supremacy each year after the herds have done battle in the fairs and shows in their respective territories; We will make this show yard the mart for highest type ot selection and the place from where all matters of breeding and feeding will be demonstrated as a guide to the old-timer and new beginner. Here Is what we will have for you: Judges of National and International repute to pass upon the cattle; a Government exhibit in charge of experts that^ will display breeds with record of' test performance, the kind to own and the kind not to own; the test of feeds for results; the proper and improper methods of handling the products and marketing of same; civic sanitary and hygienic requirements will bo illustrated and explained by experts of National prominence. We have prepared a splendid premium list for Dairy Products which will bring out a strong lot of contestants with milk and cream exhibits for honors; matter and cheese makers will enter their products for supremacy and everything that can be developed for the benefit of the visitors in direct connection with the cow will be shown. The Borden Milk people, at an enormous expense, will give daily demonctrations of the pasteurizing, cooling, bottling and distributing of milk. They will erect in th© show a plant oqual in size to that used in a city branch. This must be helpful in allaying all agitation'of the pure milk question for the city consumption. The Blue Valley Creamery will erect a plant in the show capable of making a ton of butter each day, showing the pasteurizing process and tho cleanly, sanitary methods of a creamery. The Consumers Company will manufacture icc\ cream in a glass machine in full view of the visitors, showing the thoroughly healthful and sanitary manufacture of this now extensively used condiment. Demonstrators from domestic science schools and colleges will give exhibitions and distribute recipes covering the more general use of milk as a food. The Universal Cement Company will erect an educational silo exhibit of large proportions, so that methods of preparation and care of ensilage, as well as the- construction of silos, may be thoroughly discussed and understood. There will be exhibits from the many machinery houses, who will actively display^and explain every- new and modern device to their better understanding, and, in fact, the ten-day period of the show will have crowded into it more of real value for the dairy industry than any other show ever before held for such a purpose. The man engaged in producing dairy products and the consumer will get immeasurable benefit by an attendance upon this entire de- NERVOUS DESPONDENT WOMEN F i n d R e l i e f i n L y d i a E , P i n k * h a m ' s V e g e t a b l e — t h e i r O w n So Testify. 111 > Platca, Pa.—"When I wrote to yoa first I was troubled with female weakness and backache, and was so nervous that I would cry at the least noise, it would startle me so.

Infested twig to right; immature scales in center; full grown female scale above; infested pear fruit to left, showing reddish blotches. (By F R A N K L I N SHERMAN, JR., Entomologist, North Carolina Depart- • ment of Agriculture.) The San Jose scale does great harm to orchard trees which beebme Infested, unless they be thoroughly and persistently treated. In order to combat it to the best advantage some Knowledge of its iffe-history, habits, means of spread, etc., is necessary. Trees that are badly infested with the San Jose scale appear as if they had been dusted over with ashes. If the -branches and twigs where the insects are numerous be scraped with a knife It will be seen that this unnatural covering Is quite easily removed, coming off in little flaky patches, Each of the little circular gray objects is a separate scale, each covering a tiny yellow insect underneath. On thickly Infested branches they often become so crowded that the scales are piled over one another so that the real bark of tho tree is not visible at all. Branches and twigs which are only slightly or moderately infested will not be thus completely covered over, and the bark may be of «its ordinary color and appearance except here and there along the branches where the scattering scales are found. The largest full-grown scales, are about the size of an average pinhead. They can, therefore, be detected by any person who has in the beginning an intelligent idea of the insect, has sharp eyes, and who happens to look in the right place. Usually the farmer or fruit grower does not know that there is any serious trouble until the trees begin to die. By that time they are covered by the Bcales and present^the ashy appearance. Then, if the owner finds that his trouble is San Jose scale, he is apt to think that it is only on those trees that present the unnatural appearance, when in reality it may already be on every tree in the orchard. Such a mistake often costs the lives of many trees, since the owner,' instead of examining closely and treating every infested tree, as he should do, simply takes out those which are already in dying condition, and then, because he se*s no more of similar appearance, he imagines he has exterminated it, when as a matter of fact other trees moderately or slightly Infested still stand in the orchard and soon begin to die, having in the meantime spread the insect into still other trees, and so on, until the whole orchard may be ruined. Where the scales are not numerous enough to crowd one another each individual grows to somewhat larger size than when they are crowded. The San Jose Scale. The full-grown female insects always remain under their circular scales and there give birth to their fested trees once each year. living young, for this species dees not lay eggs as is the case with most insects. The males, on tbe other hand, finally develop into tiny two-winged fly-like insects, but in consequence of their sex they can not play much part in spreading the insect, as young can only be born where females are present, and these, as we hav(e stated, remain attached to the twigs, The insect was not discovered in the eastern United States until August, 1893. At that time it was found in Charlottesville, Va. It was soon found that the infested trees were purchased from nurseries which had been introducing stock from California. Then fruitgrowers and entomologists began to inspect orchards especially for this pest; and in 1&97, five years after its discovery in Virginia, it was known to exist In twenty states east of the Mississippi river. One thorough spraying (or washing) each year with proper remedies, will keep the San Jose scale in good control. This is amply proven by the experience of hundreds of our fruitgrowers and farmers every year. It is best to give the treatment in late winter, before the buds have opened (XeTh^uary or early March), but any tlmeoitfter the leaves are shed in fall and before the buds open in spring will do.yfitoraying with a regular spray pumpcjs by far the best method. For this treatment the great majority of growers depend on limesulphur wash (either commercial or the home-made), or soluble oil (of which there are several brands). Although the weight, of opinion is in favor of late'winter as tho one best time to spray for scale, yet a few people prefer fall spraying, and some even spray both in fall and late winter, though we do not think this is necessary as a regular practice. Pall spraying Is done after all fruit has been gathered, when the leaves have begun to drop, or soon after they have dropped. For fall spraying we believe there are special advantages in using the soluble oil3, as they will penetrate more of the small crevices and reach a larger percentage of the small young scales which pass the winter. On the other hand the lime-sulphur solutions leave a coating on the branches so that when they are applied in late winter this coating acts as a considerable protection to the trees during spring and early summer. So, if one wants to come as near as possible to exterminating the scale— we believe that the best plan would be to use soluble oil in fall and limesulphur in late winter. But we want to emphasize the fact that the insects are so small that absolute extermination is impracticably (if not absolutely impossible), and even at the best we must expect, and plan, to treat in- SEEDS FOR SPRING CROPS SOWN IN FALL Ground Should Be Deep and Mellow, With Moist Spil, Until Plants A?e Rooted. ; > Seeds for the spring crops are sown in September, from 'the fifteenth to the twentieth, for the first* sowing, and the^flrst week inOctbber for $he late seeding, s^ysthe^Baiqmore Amer~ icon.

H ^ ^ Despite promises of retrenchment in public expenditures the house, in conjunction with the senate, managed to run up appropriations far in excess of the billion dollar mark. At the last session of congress, expenditures footed up to $1,026,000,- 000. The house leaders have not yet given out their figures, but they claim the appropriations chargeable to them will be just a little over a billion. However, it may reach a much greater total. The session waa long on conversation. The printed record will embrace about 26,000,000 words, covering 13,000 pages. The senators and representatives who comprise the present house and senate will go down in history as the most verbose statesmen of all time. The nearest competitor was the first session of the fiftieth congress, the members of which contributed millions of words and filled 9,600 pages. The session also was a recordbreaker in the number of bills presented. Nearly 3G.000 bills of various sorts were introduced. Of this number the house contributed 26,000 and the senate the remainder. A great proportion of these bills slumber in committee rooms and will never be heard from airain. Few Constructive Laws Made. With the exception of the bill providing a form of government for the Panama canal zone and prescribing regulations for the conduct ot the waterway, the session has been devoid of constructive legislation on a large scale. Big issues have been debated, but without result. This was due in large part to the fact that the house and senate are antagonistic politically. Much of the time of the house was devoted to the consideration of tariff bills prepared by the Democrats. Six such bills were put through the house. They were all passed by the senate. Two of them were sent to the president and vetoed. Norie of thera reached the statute books. With the veto of the wool and steel bills the Damocrats abandoned hope of tariff revision. President Taft has set his face against revision, where revision does not conform with conclusions based on scientific inquiry in advance. Labor Legislation Failed. The house passed several bills affecting labor which failed of consideration in the senate. Chief among these is the Clayton pill providing for jury trials in cases of indirect contempt, the Clayton anti-injunction bill and the Sulzer bill proposing the creation of a department of labor. The session was prolific of vetoes by the president. He wrote his disapproval on at least 11 bills including the wool and steel tariff bills and the legislative bill which was vetoed twice. With an ag*eement reached ending the filibuster on the general deficiency bill, Senator L a Follette's determination to have a record vote on the Penrose campaign fund probe resolution is the only thing that is preventing the adjournment of congress. So far as any actual chance of getting away is concerned, however, the situation is almost as uncertain as it was late Sunday morning, when the session, which had been expected to end the present sitting of congress, broke up in disgust and without action. The filibuster that wa^s ended Monday morning was the one started by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, to insist on the payment of over $600,- 000 in claims to various states. The house had refused to allow the claims, and prepared ts flght,all summer. After repeated conferences senate leaders announced an understanding by which the senate was to recede Worn its demand for the immediate payment of the contested "state claims," but providing that* the claims be included in the next general deficiency bill. or long, strawy manure, spread quite thin over the rows the latter part of December will give all the protection required.

Plant shallots for early spring greens this month; plant the bulbs i n good soil ln tows one foot apart, the bulbs being sis inches apart. In flavor they are stronger than onions; they are largely used for eating green and flavoring soups. j .' • -> < ' * - Training Colts.

There was a soldier i n T^ondon, after the Boer war, who com- I'iained of excruciating neuralgic pains in his right foot. This very much amused his friends, for he had lost his : right leg. •; ! The explanation was that the pain \ happened te be in the trunks of -those nerves, which had sent branches to i the foot. o | Sometimes a patient comes to a doctor complaining of pain in the knee, and he is greatly surprised when the doctor tells him that the site of the affection is not the knee, but the hip.

A disordered stomach wiH give us pain as far away as the head, and* when one gets a cramp in his toe, i t ls often due to acidity of the stomach. Swallow a pinch of soda and the cramp will disappear. A n aching tooth will produce neuralgic pains in the face, and very often a violent pain at the back of the head is due to the faraway kidneys, which themselves may suffer no pain at the time. His process embraces two parts* In the first place, the books ate placed in a "beater" where a strong current of air opens every leaf and an aspirator sucks out the dust and deposits it l n aseptic water;' then they are suspended i n a disinfecter, the covers being bent back and held by clips so that the leaves are widely opened and placed over a heater which for a time subjects'them to a temperature of 107 degrees Fahrenheit/ The paper is not damageif and the efficiency of the process is said to have been demonstrated beyond question.—Harper's Weekly.

" , Executive Realizes Grave Nature of the Situation, But His Eye Remainc Stogie to Welfare of 1 tho United State*. President Taft has authorized the war department to send two additional regiments of cavalry to the Mexican border. One will go from Fort Riley, Kan., and the gther from Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo. Maj.-Gen. Wood, chief of staff of the army, informed the president the two additional regiments of cavalry should be sent into Texas without delay, and Mr. Taft promptly approved the plan of tho war department in transferring the additional troops to the border. Situation at Acute Stage. According to information forwarded to the president by the state and war departments, the situation in Mexico is most serious. Mr. Taft is opposed to intervention except as a last resort. It is admitted, however, that conditions in Mexico have become worse in the last few weeks, and if the Madero government is unable to check the attacks on Americans and foreigners, the United States probably will be compelled to intervene. Under the Monroe doctrine this government would oppose intervene tion by a foreign government and for this reason the duty of requiring the Mexican government to furnish proper protection falls upon the United States. Intervention Draws Near. Although President Taft will not intervene in Mexico without the fullest deliberation upon a step that would mean war, his friends declared that intervention is nearer than it has been since the first American troops were rushed to the border 18 months ago; STRAUS FOR GOVERNOR.

Each year at Chicago, we have the National. Dairy Show, which gives actual demonstrations in problems 6t breeding and feeding for greatest profit In all of the dairy breeds. These shows give you a practical demonstration in all that is modern in machinery, both for the dairy and for the farm.

C H A P T E R XVII—(Continued). "Nothing," said the woman, never shrinking back an inch, facing him with ail the courage and daring with which a Goddess might look upon a man. "Nothing but my weakness and your strength." "Yes, that's it, but do not count too much upon the one or the other. Great God, how can I keep away from you; life on the old terms is insupportable. I must go." "And where?" , , "Anywhere, so it be away." i "And when?" •Now.'' "It would be death in the snow and ln the mountains tonight. No, no, you cannot go." "Well, tomorrow then. It will be fair, I can't take you with me, but I must go alone to the settlements, I must tell your friends you are here, alive, well. 1 shall find men to come back and get you. What I cannot do alone numbers together may effect. They can carry you over the worst of the trails, you shall be restored to your people, to your world again, you can forget me.'1' "And do you think," asked the woman, "that I could ever forget you?" "I don't know." "And will you forget me?" "Not so long as life throbs in my veins, and beyond." "And I too," was the return. "So be it. You won't be afraid to stay here alone, now." "No, not since you love me," was the noble answer. "I suppose I must; there ii> no other way, we could noL go- on as before. And you will come back to me as quickly as you can with the others?" - "I shall not come back; I will give them the direction, they can find you ^without me. When I say goodbye to you tomorrow it shall be forever." "And I swear to you," asserted the woman in quick desperation, "if you do not come back they shall have nothing to carry from here but my dead body." "And how will you prevent my going?"

The man had shaped his life upon a mistake. He believed absolutely in the unquestioned devotion of a woman to whom he had been forced to mete out death in an unprecedented and terrible manner. His unwillingness to derogate by his own conduct from the standard of devotion which he believed had inhabited his wife's bosom, made it impossible for him to allow the real love that had come into his heart for this new woman to have free course; honor, pride and self-respect scourged him just in proportion to his passion for Enid Maitland. The more he loved her, the more ashamed he was. By a curious combination of circumstances, Enid Maitland knew the truth; she knew that from one point of view the woman had been entirely unworthy the reverence in which her husband held her memory. She knew that his wife had not loved him at all, that her whole heart had been given to another man, that what Newbold had mistaken for a passionate desire for his society because there was no satisfaction ln life for the wife away from him, was due to a fear lest without his protection she should be unable to resist the appeal of the other man which her heart seconded so powerfully. If it were only that Newbold would not be false to the obligation of the other woman's devotion, Enid might have solved the problem in a moment. It was not so simple, however. The fact that Newbold cherished this memory, the fact that this other woman had fought so desperately, had tried so hard not to give way, entitled her to Enid Maitland's admiration and demanded her highest consideration as well. Chance, or Providence, had put her in possession of this woman's secret. It was as if she had been caught inadvertently eavesdropping. She could not in honor make use of what she had overheard, as it were; she could not blacken the other woman's memory, she could not enlighten this man at the expense of his dead wife's reputation. Although she longed for him as much as he longed for her, although her love for him amazed her by its depth and intensity, even to bring her happiness, commensurate with her feeling, she could not betray her dead sister. The imposts of honor, how hard they are to sustain when they conflict with love and longing. Enid Maitland was naturally not a _little thrown off her( nbalance by the situation and the power that was hers. What she could not do herself she could not allow anyone else to do. The obligation upon her must be extended to others. Old Kirkby had no right to the woman's secret any more than, she; he must be silenced. Armstrong, the only other being who was privy to the truth, must be silenced too. One thing at least arose out of the sea of trouble iu a tangible way; she was done with Armstrong. Even i f she had not so loved Newbold that she could scarcely give a thought to any other human being, she was done with . Armstrong. A singular situation I Armstrong had loved another woman, so had New* bold; and the latter bad even married it this other woman, yet she was quite willing to forgive Newbold, she made every excuse l o r htm/ she made none for Armstrong. She was an eminently sane, just person, yet as she thought of the situation her anger against Armstrong grew hotter and hotter. It was a safety valve to her feelings* although she did not realize it. After ^all, Armstrong's actions rendered her a certain service; if she could get over the objection.in her soul, if she could ever satisfy >her sense of honor and duty and obligation, she could set* tie the question at once. She had only f to show the letters to Newbold and to say: "These were written by the man of the picture; it was he, and not you, your wifen loved,": and Newbold would take ber to his heart instantly. These thoughts were not without a certain comfcrt toiber. »AU tbe compensation ofxself ; sacrifice is in its realization.^That she could and d i d not somehow ennobled her love for him. Even women are alloyed with base metaL In<othe powerful and universal appeal 'of this man, to nen she^rejoiced at whatever was of tbe> soul, rathjar than o t the >bodr.* To o o m t * i p w * * is) \*C^4*mw*a* it in obedience to some higher law, Is perhaps to pay oneself the most flattering of compliments. There was a satisfaction to her soul in this which was yet denied him. Her action was quite different from his. She was putting away happiness which she might have had in compliance with a higher law than that which bids humanity enjoy. It was flattering to her mind. In his case, it was otherwise; he had no consciousness that he was a victim of misplaced trust, of misinterpreted action. He thought the woman for whom he was putting away happiness was almost as worthy, if infinitely less desirable, as the woman.whom he now loved. Every sting of outrage, every feeling of shame, every fear of disloyalty, scourged him. She could glory in it; he was ashamed, humiliated, broken. She heard him savagely walking up and down the other room, restlessly impelled by the same Erinyes which of old scourged Orestes; the violator of the laws of moral being drove him on. These malign Eumenides held him in their hands. He was bound and helpless, rage as he might ln one moment, pray as he did ln another, no light came into the whirling darkness of his torn, tempest tossed, driven soul. The irresistible impulse and the immovable body the philosophers puzzled over were exemplified in him. Whilst he almost hated the new wornideas and his ideals, or he must inevitably take the woman. How frightful was the battle that raged within his bosom! Sometimes in his despair he thought that he would have been glad If he and she had gone down together^ in the dark waters before all this came upon him. The floods of which the heavens had emptied themselves had borne her to him. Oh if they had only swept him out of life with its trouble, its trials, its anxieties, its obligations, its impossibilities. If they had gone together! And then he knew that he was glad even for the torture, because he had seen her, because he had loved her, and because she had loved him. He marveletf at himself curiously, and in a detached way. There was a woman who loved him, who had confessed it boldly and innocently, there was none to say him nay. The woman who stood between had been dead five years. The world knew nothing, cared nothing; they could go out together; he could take her, she would come. On the impulse he turned and ran to the door and beat upon i t Her voice bade him enter, and he came in. Her heart yearned to him. She was shocked, appalled at the torture she saw upon his face. Had he been laid upon the rack, and every joint pulled from its sockets, he could not have been more white and agonized. "I give up," he cried. "What are honor and self respect to me? I want She Stood With Her Hand Still on His Breast. an, whilst be almost loved the old, yet that he did neither the one thing nor the other absolutely was significant. Indeed he knew that he was glad Enid Maitland had come into his life. No life ls complete until it is touched by that divine fire which for lack of another name we call love. Because we can experience that sensation we are said to be made in God's image. The image is blurred as the animal predominates, it i s clearer as the spiritual has the ascendency. The man raved ln his mind. White faced, stern, he walked up and down he tossed his arms about him, he stopped, his eyes closed, he threw his hands up toward God, his heart cried out under the lacerations of ihe blows inflicted upon it. No flagellant of old ever trembled beneath the body lash as he under the spiritual punishment. He prayed that he might die at the, same moment that he longed to live. He grappled blindly for solutions of the problem that would leave him with Untarnished honor and undiminished self respect and fidelity, and yet give gm this woman, and. i n vain. K e rove to find a way to reconcile the past with the present, realizing as he did so the futility of such a proposition. One or xtne. other must tie su* a&enaov ha must lA^itaaJiiy Jialeiia bfsi you. I have put the past behind. You love me, and I, I am yours with every fiber of my being. Great God! Let us cast aside these foolish quixotic scruples that have kept us apart. If a man's thoughts declare his guilt, I am already disloyal to the other woman; deeply, entirely so. I have betrayed her, shamed her, abandoned her. Let me have" Some reward for what I have gone through. You love me; come to me." "No," answered the woman, and no task ever laid upon b*r had been harder than that. "I do love you. I will not deny it. Every part of me responds to your appeal. I should be so happy that I cannot even think of It, if I could put my hand in your own, if I could lay my head upon your shoulder, if I could feel your heart beat against mine, if I could give myself up to you, I would be so glad, so glad. But it cannot be, not now." ' "Why not?" pleaded the man. He was by her side, his arm went around her. She did not resist physically, it would have been useless. She only laid her slender hand upon his. broad breast and (threw her head back and looked at him. "Sac," she said, "how helpless I am, how weak in your hands. Every voice in my heart bids me give, way. If you helpless, alone, but it must not be. I know you better than you know yourself. You will not t a k e advantage of affection so unbounded, of weakness eo pitiable." Was it the wisdom of calculation, or was it the wisdom of instinct by which she chose her course? Resistance would have been unavailing, in weakness was her strength. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth! Yes, that was true,. She knew it now, if never before, and so did he. Slowly the man released her. She did not even then draw away from him. She stood with h e r hand still on his breast. She could feel the beating of his heart beneath her $ngers. "I am right," she sain* softly. "It kills me to deny you anything. My hearts y e a r n B toward you. Why should I deny it? It ia my glory, not my shame." "There ls nothing above love like ours," he pleaded, wondering what marvelous mastery she exercised that she stopped him by a hand's touch, a whispered word, a faith. "No; love is life, love is God, but even God himself is under obligations of righteousness. For me to come to you now, to marry you now, to be your wife, would be unholy. There would not be that perfect confidence between us that must endure in that revelation. Your honor and mine, your self respect and mine, would interpose. If I can't have you with a clear conscience, If you can't come to me in the same way, we are better apart. A l - though it kills me, although life without you seems nothing, I would rather not live it, we are better apart. I can't be your wife until—" "Until what and until when?" demanded Newbold. "I don't know," said the woman, "but I believe that somewhere, somehow, we shall find a way out of our difficulty. There is a way," she said a little incautiously. "I know it." "Show it to me.", "No, I cannot." "What prevents?" The same thing which prevents you: honor, loyalty." "To a man?" "To a woman." "I do not understand." "No, but you will Borne day." She smiled at him. "See," she said, "through my tears I can smile at you, though my heart is breaking. I know that in God's good time this will work itself out." "I can't wait for God. I want you now," persisted the other. "Hush, don't say that," answered the woman, for a moment, laying her hand on his lips. "But I forgive you. I know how you suffer." The man could say nothing, do nothing. He stared at her a moment and his hand went to his throat as if he were choking. "Unworthy," he said hoarsely, "unworthy of the past, unworthy of the present, unworthy of the future. May God forgive me, I never can." "He will forgive you, never fear," answered Enid gently. "And you?" asked her lover. "I have ruined your life." "No, you Have ennobled it. Let nothing ever make you forget that. Wherever you are and whatever you do, and whatever you may have been, I love you, and I shall love you to the end. Now you must go, it is so late, I can't stand any more. I throw myself on your mercy again, I grow weaker and weaker before you; as you are a man, as you are stronger, save me from myself. If you were to take me again in your arms," she went on, steadily, "I know not how I could drive you back. For God's sake, if you love me—" That was tbe hardest thing he had ever done, to turn and go out of tbe room, out of her sight, and leave her standing there with eyes shining, with pulses throbbing, with breath coming fast, with bo3ora panting. Once more, and at a touch Bhe might have yielded! CHAPTER X I X . The Challenge of the Range, Mr. James Armstrong sat at his desk before the west window in his private room In one of tbe tallest 'buildings in Denver. His suite of offices was situated on one of the top floors, and from ft he had a clear and unobstructed view of tbe mighty range over the intervening house tops and other buildings. The earth was covered with snow. It bad fallen steadily through the night, but with the dawn the air had cleared-and the sun had come out brightly, although It was very cold. Letters, papers, documents, the demands of a business extensive and varied, were left unnoticed. He sat with his elbow on the desk, his bead on his hand, looking moodily at the range, in the month that had elapsed since lie had received news of Enid Matt* land's disappearance he bad sat often the range, a prey to most despondent reflections, heavy hearted and dlscon* solate indeed. After that memorable interview with Mr. Stephen Maitland in Thiiav delphia he had deemed it proper to await there the arrival of Mr. Robert Maitland. A brief Interview with that distracted gentleman had put; him in possession of all the facts in the case. As Robert Maitland had said, after presentation of the tragic story, tbe situation was quite hope less. Even Armstrong reluctantly ad* mltted that her uncle and old Klrkby had done everything that was posst* ble for the rescue or discovery of the girL Therefore the two despondent gen* tlemen had shortly after returned to their western homes, Robert Maitland in this instance being accompanied by bis brother Stephen. The lattei never knew how much his daughtei had been to him until this evil fate had befallen her. Robert Maitland had promised to inaugurate a thor* ough and extensive search to solve the mystery of her death, which he felt was certain* in the spring, when the weather permitted humanity to have free course through the mountains. Mr. Stephen Maitland found a cer tain melancholy satisfaction in being at least near the place where neither he nor any one had any doubt his daughter's remains lay hid beneath the snow or ice on the mountains in the freezing cold. Robert Maitland had no other idea than that Enid's body was In the lake. He intended to drain it—an engineering task of no great difficulty—and yet he Intended, also, to search the hills for miles on either side of the main stream down which she had gone, for she might possibly have strayed away and died of starvation and exposure, rathe! than drowning. At any rate, he would leave nothing undone to discover her. He had strenuously opposed Armstrong's recklessly expressed intention of going into the mountains immediately to search for her. Arm* strong was not easily moved from any purpose ho entertained, or lightly to be hindered from attempting any enterprise that he projected, but by the time the party reached Denver the winter had set in, and even he realized the futility of any immediate search for a dead body* lost in the mountains. Admitting that Enid waa dead, the conclusions were sound, ol course. The others pointed out to Armstrong that if the woman they all loved had by any fortunate chance escaped the cloudburst, she must inevitably have perished from cold, starvation and ex posure ln the mountain long since. There wa3 scarcely a possibility that she could have escaped the flood, but ff she had, it would only to be devoted to death a little later. If she was not in the lake, what remained ol her would be in some lateral canon It. would be impossible to discovei her body in the deep snows until the spring and the warm ^weath^r came. When the snows melted what was concealed would be revealed. Alone, she could do nothing. And admitting again that Enid was alone, this conclusion . was as sourid as the other. Now no one had the faintest hope that Enid Maitland was yet alive, except, perhaps, her father, Mr. Stephen Maitland. They could not convince him, he was so old and set in his opin« , ions and so utterly unfamiliar with the . conditions that they tried to describe < to him, that he clung to his belief is spite of all, and finally they let him take such comfort as be could from his vain hope withput any further at tempt at contradiction, In spite of all the arguments, how ever, Mr. James Armstrong was not satisfied. He was as hopeless as the rest, but his temperament would not permit him to accept tbe inevitable calmly. It was barely possible thai, she might not be dead, and that she migflt not be alone. There was scarce up enough possibility of this to justify a suspicion, but that Is not saying there was none at all. Day* after day he bad sat in his office denying himself to everyone and refusing to consider anything, brood ing over the situation. He loved Enid Maitland, he loved her before, and now that he had lost her, be loved her still more. ( T O 6E C O N T I N U E D . ) * .1 , Daniel and the Lions.

"Just across to George Hlcks's." T o r what purpose?" "Tou'H know in plenty of time." And Slosson leered at her through the darkness. ''Hannibal is to go with me?" asked Betty tremulously. "Sure!" agreed Slosson affably. •"Your nigger, too—quite a party." Betty stepped Into the skiff. She it Here's Yo' Guests, Old W o m a n r felt her hopes quicken—she was thinktag of Bess; whatever the girl's motives, she had wished her to escape. She would wish it now more than ever since the very thing she had striven to prevent had happened. Slossont seated himself and took up the oars. Bunker followed with Mantribal and they pushed off. No word waa spokes until they disembarked on the opposite shore, when Slosson addressed Bunker. MI reckon I can manage that young tip-stave?; yon go back after Sherrod stnd the nigger," he said. He conducted his captives up the tank aad they entered a clearing. Looking across this Betty saw where a cabin window framed a single square ^f light They advanced toward this and presently the dark outline of the cabinet itself became distinguishable. A moment later Sloseon paused, a door yielded to his tend, and Betty and the boy were "- thrust into the room where Murrell . bad held his conference with FentresB and Ware. The two women were now tts only occupants, and the mother, gross aad shapeless, turned aa aa* presslonless race on the Intruders; put the daughter shrank Into the ^ ! i s f i & * > tyr burning glance fixed on m t yo' guests, old lady!^ said ; 0 :^,$ktoim-. Mrs. Hicks rose from the three-legged stool oa which she was sitting,. "Hoed me the candle, Bess/^en* ordered. . • -> ' ,, . . w v\> .At one side of the room was a steep iflStit ot stairs wwch *#*aaccess ,to the loft overhead. Mrs. Hicks, by a gesture, fjljgnifled that ttetty and Hanjbibal wf&tiitp, iacendUthese ^stairs; they di<t^aB<Lr<wn<! themselves*on «a narrow tending inclosed by a par- ^t)0tt Pf tyng^pmkgi (hia partition was pierced by a low door. Mrs. Hicks, iwho had! followed close at their heels, handed the candle to iietty. "In yonder!" she said briefly, nodding toward the door. "Wait!" cried Betty In a whisper. "No," isaid the woman with an almost masculine surliness of tone, "l got nothing to say." She pushed them into the attic, and, closing the door, fastened it with a stout wooden bar. Beyond that door, which seemed to have closed on every hope, Betty held the tallow dip aloft, and by its uncertain and flickering light surveyed her prison. The briefest glance sufficed. The room contained two shake-down beds and a stool; there was a window in the gable, but a piece of heavy plank was spiked before i t "Miss Betty, don't you be scared," whispered Hannibal. "When the Judge hears we're gone, him and Mr. Mahaffy will try to find us. They'll go right off to Belle Plain—the Judge is always wanting to do that, ouly Mr. Mahaffy never lets him—but now he won't be able to stop him." "Oh, Hannibal, Hannibal, what can he do there—what can any one do there?" And a dead pallor overspread the girl's face. To speak of the blind groping of her friends but served to fix the horror ot their situation in her mind. "I don't know, Miss Betty, but the judge Is always thinking of things to do; seems like they was mostly things no one else would ever think ot." Betty had placed the candle on the stool and seated herself on one of the beds. There was the murmur of voices in the room below; she wondered if her fate wag under consideration and what that fate was to be. HanntbaU who had been examining ihe window, returned to her side. "Miss Betty, if we could Just get out of this loft we could steal their skiff aad row down to the river; l reckon they got just the one boat; the only way they could get to us would be to swim out and it they done that we could pound 'em over the head with the oars*-the least lit* tie thing sinks you when you're in the water.** But tats murderous fancy of his failed to Interest Betty. Presently they heard Sherrod aad Bunker come up from the shore with George. Slosson Joined them and there was a brief discussion, then an Interval of silence, and the sound of voices again as tho three white men moved back across the field ln the direction of the bayou. There succeeded a period or utter sttltaels. both la ttfce cabin, and ln tbe clearing, a somber hush that plunged Betty yer deeper lif; tjes^air.

At last, and It must have been some time after midnight troubled slumbers claimed him. No moment of forgetfulness came to Betty. She was waiting for what—she did not know! The candle burnt lower and lower and finally went out and she was left in darkness, but again she was conscious ot sounds from the room below. At first it was only a word or a sentence, then the guarded speech became a steady monotone that ran deep into the night. Eventually this ceased and Betty fancied she heard sobs. to C H A P T E R X X . • Murrell Shows His Hand. At length points of light began to show through chinks in the logs. Hannibal roused and sat up, rubbing his eyes with the backs ot his bands. "Wasnt you able to sleep none?" he inquired. Betty shook her head. He looked at her with an expression of troubled concern. "How soon do you reckon the judge will know?" he asked. "Very soon now, dear." Hannibal was greatly consoled by this opinion. . "Miss Betty, he will love to find us-> "Hark! What was thatr tor Betty had caught the distant splash of oars. Hannibal found a chink in the logs through which by dint of much squintlag he secured a partial view of the bayou. \ "They're fetching up a keel boat to the shore. Miss Etetty—it's a whooperi" he announced. Betty's heart sank; she never doubted the purpose for which that boat was brought into the bayou, or that it nearly copcemed herself. ^ Halt an hour later Mrs. Hicks appeared with their breakfast, it was ln vain that Betty attempted to engage her in conversation. Either she cherished some personal feeling of dislike for her prisoner, or else the situation in which she herself was pitted had little to recommead it even to her dull mind, aad her dissatisfaction waa expressed la Per attitude toward the girl. Be^tty passed the long hours of moralag la dreary speculation concerning what was happening at Belle Plain, In the end she realised that tiie day could go by and her absence occasion ao alarm. Steve might reasonably suppose George had driven her into Raleigh or to tbe^Bowens' and that she had kept the carriage. Finally'all her hope cantered bh Judge Price. He would expect liannibat during the morning; perhaps when the toy did! not arrive he; would bo tempt solving the mystery of their disap- \ ed to go out to Belle Plata id dia ance. She wondered what theories would offer themselves to his ingenious mind, tor she sensed some* thing of that Indomitable energy which in the face of rebuffs and laughter carried aim into the thick ot every sensation. At noon Mrs. Hicks, as sullen as in the morning, brought them their dinner. She had scarcely quitted the loft when a shrill whistle pierced the silence that hung above the clearing. It was twice repeated, and the two women were heard to go from the cabin. Perhaps half an hour elapsed, then a step became audible on the packed earth of the dooryard. Some one entered the room below and began to ascend* the narrow stairs, and Betty's fingers closed convulsively about Hannibal's. This was neither Mrs. Hicks nor her daughter, nor SlosBon with his clumsy- shuffle. There was a brief pause when the landing was reached, but it was only momentary; a hand lifted the bar, the door was thrown open, and Its space framed the figure ot a man. It was John Murrell. Standing there he regarded Betty ln silence, but a deep-seated fire glowed in his sunken eyes. The sense of possession was raging through him, his temples throbbed, a fever stirred his blood. Love, such as it was, he undoubtedly felt for her, and even his giant project, with all ita monstrous ramifications, was lost sight ot for the moment. She was the inspiration for it all, the goal and reward for which he struggled. "Bf ty!" the single word fell softly from his lips. He stepped into the room, closing the door as he did so. Tho girl's eyes were dilating with a mute horror, for by some swift, intuitive process of the mind. Which asked nothing of the logic of events, but dealt only with conclusions. Murrell stood revealed as Norton's murderer. Perhaps he read her thoughts, but he had lived in his degenerate ambitions until the common Judgments or the understanding of them no longer existed for him. That Betty had loved Norton seemed Inconsequential even; lt was a memory to be swept away by the force or his greater passion. So he watched her smilingly, but back of the smile waa the menace of unleashed Impulse. "Can't you find some word of welcome for me, Bettjr?" he asked at length, still softly, still with something of entreaty in his tone. "Then it was you—not Tom—who had me brought here!" She could have thanked Ood had lt been Tom, whose hate was not to be feared as she feared this man's love. "Tom—no!" and Murrell laughed. "You didn't think I'd give you up? I am standing with a halter about my neck, and ail for your sake-—who'd risk as much for love of you?" He seemed to expand with savage pride that this was so, and took a step to* ward her. "Don't come near me!" cried Betty, eyes blazed, and she looked at him • wTth^Iohthing. "You'll learn* to be kinder," he exulted. "You wouldn't see me at Belle Plain; what was left tor me but to have you brought here?" While Murrell was speaking the signal that had told of his own presence on the opposite shore of the bayou was heard again. This served to arrest his attention. A look ot uncertainty passed over his face, then he made an impatient gesture aa if be dismissed t some thought that has! forced itself upon him, and turned to Betty. "You don't ask what my purpose Is where; you are concerned; yon have no curiosity on that score?" She endeavored to meet his glance with % glance as resolute, then her "eyes, sought the boy's upturned face. "I am going to send you down river, Betty. Later I shall Join you tn New Orleans, and when 1 leave the country you shall go with me—" "Never!" gasped Betty. "As my wife, or however you choose to call It I'll teach you what a man's love is like," he boasted, and extended his hand. Betty shrank from him, aad his hand fell at his side. Ho locked at ber steadily out of his deepsank eyes, in which blazed the fires of his passion, aad as he looked, her face paled aad flushed by turns. "You may learn to be Mad to me, Betty/ he sejd. "You may find it win t » worth your while." Betty made ao answer; she only gathered Mannibai closer to her side. "Why not accept what I have to offer, Betty?"

Perhaps you have noticed that whenever a prominent person dies, especially if he is connected with the government, the flags on public buildings are hoisted only part of the way up, remarks the Toronto Mail and Express. This is called "half mast." Did you ever stop to think what connection there could be between a flag that was not properly hoisted and the death of a great man? Ever since flages were used in war it has been the custom to have the flag of the superior or conquering nation above that of the inferior or vanquished. When an army found itself hopelessly beaten it hauled its flag down far enough for the flag of the victors to be placed above it on the same pole. This was a token not only of submission, but of respect. In those days when a famous soldier died flags were lowered out of respect to his memory. The custom long ago passed from purely military usage to public life of all kinds, the flag flying at half mast being a sign that the dead man as worthy of universal respect. The space left above it is for the nag of the great conqueror of all—the angel of death. Collective Housekeeping. An English paper tells of an experiment in collective; housekeeping in what is known as Brent Garden village. The dwelling houses contain all improvements except a kitchen. Meals for everybody are cooked at a central hall, and may either be eaten theie or sent home. A four-course dinner costs only l shilling and 6 pence. Servants are supplied, when needed, from the central hall at a cost of about ten cents an hour. 8ubtle Admonition.

West No Place for Consumption. Physicians in all of the eastern states will be asked by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to stop sending consumptives in the last stages of tuberculosis, and without sufficient funds to the southwestern part of the United States In search of health. While it is impossible to tell accurately how many consumptives there are at present living in the states ol Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, southern California, and Western Texas, 11 is probable that no less than ten per cent of the 6,000,000 people in this territory have tuberculosis themselves, or have come to the west because some member of their family have had it. Every year, the health authorities estimate, not less than 10,000 consumptives, hopelessly dis eased, come west to die. For these cases, the climate of this section of the country can do nothing, and they are compelled to die in strange surroundings and thousands of miles from home and friends. The National Association points out further that from 50 to 60 per cent of these advanced cases are too poor to provide the proper necessaries of life, and they are either starved to death or compelled to accept the meager charity which this part of the country affords.

Z. HARTZELL.) The grape leaf hopper is^ an important pest of the grape and during the past two years it has been; on the Increase in some sections. In many vineyards the necessity for ^efficient methods of control has been apparent. [Jffhe insect weakens the vines by pierci n g the epidermis of the under side of the leaf and sucking the cell sap, thus injuring the cells and exposing them 4.0 the drying action of the air. This injury results in a decrease in the amount of wood, and it also affects the quantity and quality of the fruit. Fruit from badly infested vines is poorly ripened. The \$$f h o p f e e r ^ * sucking insect and lives on the under sides of the grape leaves. Eggs are laid during June by ,tfie overwintering adults, and by the beginning of July the young nymphs are on the vines in abundance. These nymphs pass through five stages or lnstars before becoming adults. Nymphs of the first brood mature during the latter part of July and early part of August, and during normal seasons many of them lay eggs from which .develops a partial- second brood. During 1911 a complete second brood was observed. Young nymphs of the first instar were found as late as October 1. Most of these nymphs become adults before the leaves drop from the grape vine. The adults hibernate among rubbish, grass, weeds and fallen leaves. They are active during the warmer days of the hibernating period and feed on various grasses, preferring the leaves of bush fruits during the spring before returning, to the young foliage of the grape vines. During the summer the adults are of a yellowish appearance, being covered with darker yellow lines. These darker area's turn salmon before the insects leave- the vines in the fall and they become dark red wjien the in-_ sects are in their winter quarters. As soon as they have led again upon grape fblia&e in the* spring these areas become yellow. Experiments have proven that a, spray containing 2-100 of one per <oeurt nicotine is the most effective and safest contact insecticide for the control of the grape leaf hopper; This must be directed against the nymnhs, which are hit by applying the spray to the under sides of the leaves. The application of the spray for this insect can be done by the usual hand spraying with trailing hose or by an automatic leaf hopper sprayer. The grape hopper, being a sucking insect, secures its food by inserting its proboscis or beak through the epidermis or skin of the leaf, piercing the underlying tissue and sucking up the cell sap. Having satisfied its hunger it withdraws its beak and wanders about the leaf. With the withdrawal •of the proboscis the injured leaf tissue is exposed to the drying action of the air, which not only completes the destruction of the injured cells but dries out the surrounding cells, thus causing a small portion of the leaf to die. This area is small but the accumulative effect is of importance in the economy of the plant. These injured parts turn yellow and, as the injuries increase by the feeding of the insects Watching the development of the in> sects. -t ; The proper contact insecticide must, be used and aV tbe proper strength.\ Ftorty per cent, nicotine should be used! one part to 1,600 parts of water, aiid: 2.7 per cent, nicotine should be used one part to 150 parts of water. Sufliclent spray*5'mixture must be used to drench the insects. A pressure of from 125 to 150 pounds per square inch is necessary/ The under sides of the leaves must be thoroughly hit by the spray. Tho height of the vines, the manner of rVuIt on Damaged Vines. trimming and the direction of the wind must all be taken into consideration. One should examine the under sides of the sprayed leaves from time to time .to see that the nozzles are properly adjusted. Spraying as directed, one would use nearly 150 gallons of spray material per acre where the foliage is dense. Where vines are weak or young and the foliage is not dense, one can secure good results by using discs with slightly smaller apertures, thus using less spray per acre. One's judgment must govern him in the use of material economically. A With the use of 150 gallons of material per acre, using the nicotine preparations at the present prices, it would cost about $1.25 per acre for material to control the grape leaf hopper for a season. QUAIL PROVEN AS A FRIEND OF FARMER m-—wn- wn t*£m** ,t t*oi*wi tf»a ltlt©as?e. l%ey j one. Oa* mast judge tons** 1 Description of This Industrious Little Bird, Commonly Called Bob White. Nature Leaf Hopper. the leaves become dotted with spots until by September these areas are so numerous as to cause the leaves to have a decidedly yellow appearance when contrasted with healthy foliage. It is not, u^usHal^to ,#nd 100 leaf hopper nymphs on a single leaf. If each insect should feed only twice each day and remain on, the leaf for a period of two months wo .would find that there had accumulated on the leaf 12,000 injured areas. This would be a moderate damage; for counts show that* leaves of average size, if badly infected, may have as many as 20,000 s u c i injured areas. >. •• ^ Thus there are two factors i n the work of the leaf hopper; the removal of the cell sap by the leaf hoppers as food; and* the destruction of tissue by the drying out and death of the; cells surrounding those pierced by the insects. The latter is the more important H^faetor..: The death of these cells' means a lessening of the growth of wood and a decrease in the yield of fruit. To obtain efficient results against the leaf hopper it is necessary to observe certain rales. The spraying must be, done at the projtef time. This time will v*r* with t h e season, but the spratfag mast be done whec. the maximum number-of nympbs «re piessat, jbus killing ft* largest number of insects,^wi^>JuVuaUy Ione. The quail, the "bob-white" whose call floats softly up from the meadows in cool twilights and dewy summer mornings, is almost too well known to need description. Nearly every boy and girl who can whistle has returned^ his salute and heard it again and again, as the bird seems to search in bewilderment for that new note which he does not quite understand. "More rain" grandfather is likely to say, when he hears the call in the morning. "Bob-wh'te is calling for more rain." But though you may hear him it does- not follow that you may see him easily, unless your neighborhood is friendly or there are good game laws rigidly enforced. The quail has suffered much at the hands of the man with the gun, and the man at the plow has suffered too, for when the quail is gone grasshoppers and many other insect enemies of growing crops have things all their own way. A clean, white throat as full and fluffy as a lace jabot, is one of bobwhite's first recognition marks, and the white or lemon-colored lines that run back over his head from beak to shoulders are another.

No bird can boast as large a family as tbe quail, and it requires the sharpest of eyes to find the' nest, hidden as it is ln grass and sometimes covered entirely, with a side entrance which looks as innocent as a mere tuft of straw lifted by field mice'. ' There are sometimes as many as threo tiers' of eggs, piled upon each other, and how so small a' bird can cover so many Is a mystery. It is related in ''The Birds of Ohio," that one winter a famil? of quail came regularly every evening to a feeding place where grain was kept ,for them, and afterward slept under an evergreen tree fh the yard. Here ttiey were seen, one very stormy af' ternon wlien they had to seek'shelter early, huddled into a perfect circle, heads out, feathers fluffed up and every tall helping to shelter its heigh* bor.

ERUPTION LIKE PIMPLES , Wathena, Kan.—"My child's scalp trouble became, so bad that I was ashamed to have anyone see him. His head had a solid scab on It.

It is reported from one source that the shooting was the result of a plot by which Eisy and a pal hoped to secure possession of guns; that soldiers went on with the deal in order to catch the men; that the men and the soldiers met by appointment, and that after some dickering officers sho> at the men, one of whom escaped. The attorney-general has promised a statement when the investigation is finished. A thorough probe of the shooting is to be instituted at once by the civil authorities. Capt. Biackman, in 'command-of the provisional troops who are guarding Jackson prison, admitted, it is said, that he fired the shot that killed Eisy. "I'm awfully eorrv about it," said Capt. BTacknian. ,TT didn't"'intend to kill him. I shot at his legs, but it was a ciuick shot, and it took effect higher on his body than I intended it should. 1 had to shoot quick as he had a rifle which we had delivered to him according to previous arrangements, raised in a threatening manner, and I believe if I had not shot ag I did he would have brained one of our men*. "It was reported to me Friday that this foreigner hnd approached Privates 31 cA rcUo and Jack^on_ with a proposition to feet "possession of some of the state's fire arms. They told ins they had agreed to meet him at 12 o'clock Friday night and deliver the guns. I told them to go ahead with it and we would arrest the men. Lieutenant Smith and ' myself secreted ourselves where we could see .the deal made' and hear what was sajd. After they handed Eisy the rifles he stuck them between his legs, and as was paying the privates they told him he was under arrest. At that moment he stepped back and raised one of the rifles in a threatening attitude. I fired three shot at him. Lieutenant Smith didn't shoot. He was not beside me, but was on watch as we thought there were two men vin the deal. When Eisy met the privates and dickered with them on the street Friday he had anotherjnan with him but we didn't see anything of him Friday night." Capt. Blackman's statement that he killed Eisey astonished the city, and when the populace recovered from the first shock comment flew thick and fast. Many openly condemn him, while others excuse him on the ground that he made an unfortunate mistake at the cost of a human life. A young man who had never testified before was called before the court as a witness in a certain case. He was somewhat flustered over the attention that was being paid him^^nd mumbied his words' so that tne youSt woman stenographer could not hear them distinctly. He was told to speak pla^nlv and to turn toward the stenographer. "Speak to the stenographer," said the prosecutor. At that the young man arose and with a deep bow to the lady said, "How do you do?"—Satire. A Pen and tnk Shakespeare.. Woodrow Wilson, on a recent visit to Atlantic City, referred good humoredly to his rather illegible handwriting. "But my hand is nothing," he said "to that of Horace Greeley." "Poor Greeley once quoted from Shakespeare in a leading article, ' 'Tis true, 'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true.' "This appeared next day: ""Tis two. 'tis fifty, 'tis fifty, 'tis fifty-two.'

The Much Wanted New York Gun Men Caught, "Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the Blood" were arrested in Brooklyn by Deputy. Police Commissioner George Dougherty and a force of detectives. The two massing "gun men," so long sought for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, are now at police headquarters, Manhattan, and there is no doubt of their identity. The two men were arrested in company with their wives and a visiting pickpocket in a flat which they furnished about August 15, and when they were covered-with the revolvers of the police their only comment was, "Aw, put up your guns; we woh't make no trouble." They, their wives and the visitor were soon brought to headquarters and the district attorney's ofilce- was notified.

" Old Roman Waff Unearthed. A part of the wall which once enclosed old St. Paul's, London, has been discovered in excavations at the corner of Paternoster Row and St. Paul's alley in London. The wall, which is about 60 feet long, Is made of chalk and rubble, and was built in the twelfth century. On the same site pieces of a Roman amphora, Roman vases and some Samian ware have also been found. Other "finds" include a camel's skull unearthed in High Hoiborn and a large quantity of pipes of the eighteenth century. Under some old stables in Bartholomew Close— one of the oldest parts of London— three Norman arches have been found. They are close to one another, and are believed to have formed part ot the cloisters of the prioFy which once stood on this site. RIGHT HOME Doctor Recommends Postum from Personal Test. No one is better able to realize the injurious action of caffeine—the drug in coffee—on the heart, than the docton Tea is just as harmful as coffee because it, too, contains the drug caf-%' feiner ' ' q When tbe doctor himself has been relieved by simply leaving off coffee and using Postum, he can refer with full conviction to his own case.

But on stopping it and using Postum instead, my heart has got all right, and I ascribe it to tbe change from coffee to Postum. "I am prescribing it now in cases of sickness, especially when coffee does not agree, or affects the heart, nerves or stomach.- "When.made right It has a much be«> ter flavor than coffee, and is a vital sustainer of the system, 1 shall continue to recommend it to our people, and I have my own case to refer to."

In much that is high and noble and manly his actions—and his character—had often been lacking, but even the base can love, and sometimes [love transforms, if it be given a chance, The passion of Cymon for Iph- Igenia, made a man and prince out of the rustic beer, and his real love for Enid Maitland might have done more for Armstrong than he himself or anyone who knew him as he was, and few there were who had such knowledge of him, dreamed was possible. There was one thing that (love could not do, however; it could not make him a patient philosopher, a good waiter. His rule of life was not very high, but in one way It was admirable, in that prompt, bold desire action was his chiefest characteristic. On this certain morning a month after the heart-breaking disaster, his power of passive endurance had been strained to the vanishing point. The great vOflte range was flung in his face likeCachallenge. Within its secret reces «er|ay the solution of the mystery. Somewhere, dead or alive, beyond the soaring1 rampart was the woman he loved. It was impossible for him to remain quiet any longer. Common «ense, reason, every argument that had been adduced, suddenly became of no weight He lifted his head and «tared straight westward, his eyes swept the long semicircle of horizon across which the mighty range was drawn like the chord of gigantic a/c or the string of a mighty bow, Each White peak mocked him, the Insolent aggression of the range called him irresistibly to action. "By Heaven," he said under his breath, rising to his feet, "winter or no winter, I go." Robert Maitland had offices in the same building: Having once come to a determination; there was no more uncertainty or hesitation about Armstrong's course. In another moment he was standing in the private room of his friend. The two men were not alone there! Stephen Maitland sat in a; low chair before another window removed from the desk somewhat, staring out at the range. The old man was huddled down .in his , seat, every line of his figure spoke of grief and despair. Of all the places in Denver, he liked best his brother's office fronting the rampart of the mountains, and hour after hour he sat there quietly looking at the summits, sometimes softly shrouded in white,, sometimes swept bare by ^he fierce winter gales that blew across them, some* times sninihg and sparkling so that the eye scarce sustain their reflection the dazzling sun of Colorado r and at other times seen dimly through / l u s t s of whirling snow. •A Oh, yes, the mountains challenged lilm also to tbe other side of th© 4Jange. His heart yearned for his ild, but he was.too old to make e attempt He could only sit and ay and wait with such faint and fadg- hope* as. he could still cherish unthe break up of the spring came. >r the rest h$ troubled nobody; no*1 f notice* bfcnvnobody marked hinu Nobody minded him. Robert Maitland, jr^ansacted his business a" little moral jpftly, a, little more gently, tbat/^asj *ft *^\thkh$6&Wfr e l & l * brother! was a living grief and a living reproach to him. Although he was quite blameless he blamed himself. He had not known how he had grown to love his niece until he had lost her. His conscience accused him hourly, and yet he knew not where he was at fault or how he could have done differently. It was a helpless and hopeless situation. To bim, therefore, entered Armstrong. "Maitland," he began, "I can't stand it any longer. I'm going into the mountains." "You are mad!" "I can't help it. I can't sit here and face them, damn them, and remain quiet." "You will never come out alive,** "Oh, yes, I will; but if I don't, I swear to God I don't care." * Old Stephen Maitland rose unsteadily to his feet and gripped the back of his chair. "Did I hear aright, sir?" he asked, with all the polished and graceful courtesy of birth and breeding which never deserted him in any emergency whatsoever. "Do you say—" "I said I was going into the mountains to search for her." "It is madness," urged Robert Maitland. But the old man did not hear him. "Thank God!" he exclaimed with deep feeling. "I have sat here day after day and watched those mighty hills, and I have said to myself that if I had youth and strength as I have love, I would not wait." "You are right," returned Armstrong, equally moved, and indeed it would have been hard to have heard and seen that father unresponsively; "£»nd I am not going to wait, either." "I understand your feelings, Jim, and yours, too, Steve," began Robert Maitland, arguing against his own emotions, "even if sl)e escaped the flood, she must be dead by this time." "You, needn't go over the old argument, Bob. I'm going into the mountains, and I'm going now. No," he continued swiftly, as the other opened his mouth to interpose further objections, "you needn't say another word. I'm a free agent, and I'm old enough to decide what I can do. There is no argument, there is no force, there is no appeal, there is nothing that will until I have examined every square rod within a radius of 60 miles from your camp. I'll take the long chance, tho longest, even." "Well, that's all right," said Robert Maitland. "Of course, r intend to do that as soon as the spring .opens; but what's the use of trying to do it now?" "It's use to me. Til either go mad here in Denver, or I must go to seek for her there." "But you will never come back if you once get in those mountains alone." "I don't care whether I do or not. It's no use, old man, I am going, and that's all there is about it." Robert Maitland knew men. He recognized finality when he heard it, or when he saw i t r and It was quite evident that he was in the presence of it then. It was no use to «ay more. "Very well," he said. "I honor you for your feeling, even if I don't think much of your common sense." ^ "Damn common sense," cried Armstrong, triumphantly. "It's love that moves me now." At that moment there was a tap on the door. A clerk from the outer office bidden to enter, announced that old Klrkby was in the ante room. "Bring him in," directed Maitland, eager to welcome him. He fancied that the newcomer would undoubtedly assist him in dissuading Armstrong from his foolhardy, useless enterprise. "Mornin', old man," drawled Kirkby. "Howdy, Armstrong, my respects to you, sir," he said, sinking his voice a little as he bowed respectfully toward Mr. Stephen Maitland, a very sympathetic look in the old frontiersman's eyes at the sight of the bereaved father. "Kirkby, you've come in the very nick of time," at once began Robert Maitland. "Alius glad to be JoTinny-on-thespot," smiled the older man. "Armstrong here," continued the other, intent upon his purpose, "says he can't wait until the spring and the snow melt, he is'going into the mountains now to look for Enid." Kirkby didn't love Armstrong. He didn't care for him a little bit, but there was something in the bold hard!-. In need, you would not say a word to deter him." "Why, Steve," expostulated Robert Maitland, "surely you know I would risk anything for Enid. Somehow, it seems as if I were being put in the selfish position by my opposition." "No, no," said his brother. "It isn't that You have your wife and children, but this young man—" "Well, what do you Bay, Kirkby? Not that it makes any difference to me what anybody says. Come, we are wasting time," interposed Armstrong, who, now that he had made up his mind, was anxious to be off. "Jim Armstrong," answered Kirkfcy, decidedly. "I never thought much o' you in the past, an' I think sence you've put out this last projlck of yourn, that I'm entitled to call you a damn fool, w'ich you are, and I'm another, for I'm goln* into the mountains with you." prejudiced against the west You are men that would do honor to any family, to any society in Philadelphia or anywhere else." "Lord love ye," drawled Kirkby, his eyes twinkling. "There ain't no three men on the Atlantic seaboard that kin match up with two of us yere, to say nothin' of the third." "Well," said Robert Maitland, "the thing-now i3 to decide on what's to be done." "My plan," said Armstrong, "is to go to the old camp. "Yep," said Kirkby, "that's a good point of deeparture, as my seafarin' father down Cape Cod way used to cay; an' wat'fi next?" "I am going up the canon instead of down," said the man, with a flash of Inspiration. "That ain't no bad idea, nuther," assented the old man. "We looked the ground over pretty thoroughly down man, "what three men even, considered what Was to be done next. "We must begin a systematic search tomorrow," said Armstrong decisively, as tho three men sat around the cheerful fire in the hut. *Yes," assented Maitland. "Shall we go together, or separately?" "Separately, of course. We are all hardy and experienced men. Nothing is apt to happen to us. We will meet here every night and plan the next day's work. What do you say, Kirkby?" . The old man had been quietly smoking while the others talked. He smiled at them in a way which aroused their curiosity and made them feel that he had news for them. "While you was puttin' the finlshin* touches on this yere camp, I come acrost a heap o' stuns that somehow the wind had swept bare, there was a big rift in front of it which kep' us from seeln' it afore; it was built up in the open w'ere there was no trees, an' in our lumberln' operations we wasn't lookin' that a-way. I came acrost it by any chance an—" "Well, for God's sake, old cried Armstrong, impatiently, did you find, anything?" "This,"^ answered Kirkby, carefully producing a folded scrap of paper from his leather vest. Armstrong fell on it ravenously, and as Maitland bent to him, they both read these words by the firelight "Miss Enid Maitland, whose foot is so badly crushed as to prevent her travelfng, Is safe in a cabin at the head of this canon. 1 put this notice here to reassure any one who may be seeking her as to her welfare. Follow the stream up to its source. " W M . B E R K E L Y NEWBOLD." "Thank God!" exclaimed Robert Maitland. "You called me a fool, Kirkby," said Armstrong, his eyes gleaming. "What do you think of it now?" "It's the fools, I find," said Kirkby sapiently, "that gener'ly gits there. Providence seems to be a-watchln* over 'em." "You said you chanced on this paper, Jack," continued Maitland. "It looks1 like the deliberate intention of Almighty God." "I reckon so," answered the other, simply. "You see He's got to look after all the foola on earth to keep 'em from doln* too much damage to theirselves an' to others in this yoro crooked trail of a world." "Let us start now," urged Armstrong. "'Tain't possible," said the old E^rn^ taking another puff at hia^pjfte. and Olllt.G "I'm Goin' Into the Mountains With cried Stephen Ycu.' "Oh, thank God!" Maitland fervently. "I know you don't like me," answered Armstrong. "That's neither here nor there. Perhaps you have cause to dislike me, perhaps you have not. I don't like you any too well myself, but there's no man on earth I'd rather the canon. Mcbbe we can find something up it." "And what do you propose to take with you?" asked Maitland. "What we can carry on \be backs df men. We will make a c/mp somewhere about where you did.

I ean't sit here and eat my heart out when she may be there." "But it's impossible!" "It is impossible. How do I know that there may not have been somebody in tbe mountains; she may have wandered to some settlement, some hunter's cabin, some prospector's hut." "Put we were there for weeks and saw nothing, no evidence of humanity/ "I don't, care.

He threw an approving glance at him. "I tell him that it is absurd, impossible, that he risks his life for nothing, and I want you to tell him the same thing. You know more about the mountains than either of us." "Mr. Kirkby," quavered Stephen Maltland/" allow me. I don't want to influenco you against your better judgment, but if ^you could sit here as I have done, antfUhink that maybe see is there, and perhaps alive still, and on i t " Kirby shook it vigorously. "This ain't commlttin' myself," he said cautiously. "So far's I'm concerned, you ain't good enough for Miss Maitland, bu* I admires your spirit, Armstrong, an' I'm goin' with you. 'Tain't no good, 'twon't produce nothin', most likely we'll never come back agin; but jest the same, I'm goin' along. Nobody's goin' to show me the trail. My nerve and grit, w'en it comes to helpin' a young female like that girl, is as good as anybody's, I guess. You're her father," he drawled, on turning to Stephen Maitland, "an' I ain't no kin to her, but, by gosh, I believe I can understand better than any ono else yere what you are feelin'/' "Kirkby," said Robert Maitland, smiling at tho other two, "you have gone clean back on me. I thought you had more sense. But somehow J guess it's contagious, for 1 am going along with you two myself." "And I, cannot I accompany ,you?" pleaded Stephen Maitland, eagerly drawing near to the other three. "Not much," said old Kirkby promptly, "You . ain't got the stren'th, or man. You don't know them mountains, nuther. You'd be helpless on a pair o' snow shoes; there ain't anything you could do, you'd jest be a drag On us. Without Bayin* anything about myself, w'ich I'm too modest for that, there ain't three better men in Colorado to tackle this Job than Jim Armstrong an' Bob Maitland an— Well, as 1 said, I won't mention no other names." ••God blest-'you ail, gentlemen," faltered Stephen Maitland. "I think, perraps, 1 amy have been wrong, a tittle, per reaches of the range." "And when do we start?" "There is a train for Morrison in two hours." answered Armstrong. "We can get what we want in the way of sleeping bags and equipment between now and then, if we hurry about it." "Ef we are goin' to do it, we might as well git a move on- us," asseutea Kirkby, making ready to go. "Right," answered; Robert Maitland grimly. "When three men set out to make fools oft themselvea, the sooner they get at it and get over with it the better. I've got some business matters to settle. You two get what's needed, ano\. I'll bear my share." . A week later a little band of men on snow shoes, wrapped in furs to their eyes, every one heavily burdened with a pack, staggered into the clearing where once bad been pitched the Maitland camp. The place was covered with snow, of course, but on a shelf of rock half way up fb<j hogback, they found a comparatively level clearing, and there, all working like beavers, they built a rude hut which they covered with canvas and then with tightly packed snow, and which would keep the three who remained froir freezing to death. Fortunately they were favored with a brief period of pleasant weather, and a few days served to make a sufficiently habitable camp. MalUand, .Klrkby and Armstrong worked with tho 'rest.

"What's your hurry, Jim ?" continued Kirkby, calmly. "The gal's safe; one d a y more or less ain't goin' to make, no difference." "She's with another man," answered Armstrong quickly. "Do you know this Newbold?" asked Maitland, looking at the note again. "No. not personally, but I have heard of him." "I know him," answered Klrkby quickly, "an' you've seed him too, Bob; he's the feller that shot his wife, thai married Louise Rosser." "That man!" "Tbe very same." "You say you never saw him, Jim?" asked Maitland. "t repeat I never met him," said Armstrong, flushing suddenly; "but, I knew him wile." "Yes, you did that—" drawled the old mountaineer.

Seeks to A d v a n c e Herself b y Using D u p e s IS, By ISABEIXE HATCH O'NEILL ^Br SB ADISTINCTION should be made between a flirt and a coquette. Man receives from woman about what he demands, not- only in her mental attitude toward him, but even in the details of her attire—the wearing of tight corsets and high-heeled shoes, at fhe expense of her health and her physique. If a man seeks sincerity and earnestness in a woman, he usually finds those qualities. Many men grow weary of the deeper side of a woman's character. So, in order to please and hold them, Bhe uses the gifts which nature has given her. Few men comprehend the magnanimity of a woman's sacrifice, the depth of her affections* and how her effort to please, that is, her coquetry, is often by the means to an end—to bind more closely to her the man she loves. Such a woman often leads a man to the gate of his inner being and helps him to awaken and preserve the greatness and purity that lie sleeping there. The "flirt," on the contrary, is a destroyer, a heartless, selfish creature, living like a parasite on the society to which she contributes nothing1, grasping all the adulation and enjoyment within her reach, heedless p£ the wounds which her acts produce. A flirt must have both physical and mental attractions, but she need not be handsome or even pretty. Bright and vivacious she must be. She must know how to ingratiate herself into a man's heart, flatter him, cater to all his bobbies and make him believe that he is the one man in all the world for her. She must be a good listener. Men are her toys, to be used according to what they have to give—some for the theater, others for good dinners or for whatever they may have to bestow. The flirt seeks to advance herself socially or financially by using her dupes to forward her own selfish ends. But ther are men flirts, too, in abundance. How many women have had to meet the disagreeable start, the insulting, insinuating smile of the male flirt on the street, the cars and in other public places. He is quite as dispicable a character as the woman flirt, and far more dangerous, with his subtle, seductive flatteries, his sophistries, his plausible, beguiling manner—a creature to be both shunned and scorned. As long as these monsters survive on the face of the earth, and are allowed to glide like poisonous serpents into the affections of innocent and unsuspecting women, just so long will women be betrayed. The flirt, then, whether man or woman, is a subject of pity and contempt, for, although liberally endowed by nature with attributes which might have been used to bless mankind, they forsake the good and follow the evil, abandoning themselves to the heartless selfishness. Baron Gostav voa Taube. Some of the Conventional Charges Against America Are Answered With Unusual Spirit by the Distinguished Polish Traveller, Baron von Taube* HERE ARE THE CHARGES MADE Girls* Vanity Boxes "Doll Rags9 9 By Alice WUMams, La Parte, Ind. Recently there was quite a discussion regarding girls with vanity boxes and the latest thing in "doll rags," and their demanding of their friends expensive amusements. Let me cite a personal experience which from observation is most common. There were two girls. One was neat and moderately modern in dress, intelligent and a good listener, the other vapid and rattlebrained, but dressed beautifully. Her only creed is dress, and she is gratified in this because, being an only child, her parents give their all to her. The other, being an orphan and living on a limited income, bas to be satisfied with being neat. These two, strangely enough, were chums. They met men who, it is said, have, judgment and discerning powers. Did they choose the plain girl? Never. And why? For the most simple reason—she didn't have on the latest agony. They never waited to see whether there was any character. She was beyond the pale. Tiring of this sort of thing, she decided to do the picture shows and theaters alone and stroll down side streets on Sunday afternoons whistling to herself when no one was looking. As this was too highly exciting, she will have to roam on where men ^ 1 * ^ ^ ^ have.a few ideas above collecting baseball pictures from fancy cigarette ill-mannered, boxes and whose greatest boast is the amount of "straights" they can consume and still reach their own door without the aid of a passer-by or policeman. Americans worship only money and what can be bought by or reckoned in money. Their sole contribution to the world's civilization is a number of engineering and mechanical devices. Even in machinery they do not, however, excel, since it ls invariably made badly. American machinery never lasts; It l i made to come to an early scrap heap. Their reputed business capacity is a myth. Really, they have only the forms of business; they are slower and more unbusinesslike than any other people. American education is superficial and vulgar. It does not produce scholars/ or men of taste, but only quaint learned men and vulgarians. American polities are more corrupt than any the world has known. American public servants are, like Russian officials, open to bribery without exception. American statesmen are almost invariably without education and selfmade. American foreign politics are slippery. Their public life ls vulgar and hysterical. The Americans are de-civilized. They have no manners whatever. America has no high society. Wealthy persons live in hotels; the moderately rich ln wretched flats. American women are sillf, sexless and expensive. American morality is Puritanical In profession, but licentious ln fact. Marriages are but a matter of form, and men as well as women unchaste. While professing to despise, they secretly admire European, and especially English, aristocracy. They will pay anything for an English title,, an English education, an English heirloom, an English work of art, etc. But they appreciate none of these things except enviously. America's national characteristics are those of weakness, being bully, \ bounce, brag and bluster. \ American children are spoiled brats, I have read many articles published recently ou the question "Do animals think ?" and found them of interest I would, however, be more interested were the subject changed to "Do human beings think?" We look about us and see the misery and suffering caused by the selfishness of individuals and the greed ^of corporations and politicians, and yet we do nothing to prevent them from robbing and starving us. Do we think when we permit an employer to pay a man $1.50 a day for ten hours' labor to support himself and family, to buy food and clothing, to pay rent and for other necessities ? o v Are we human to allow a girl to work eight or ten hours daily, six days a week, for $5, for doing the same work in many places that a man receives a larger salary for doing?

As an automobilist myself and one who has had many narrow escapes from running down pedestrians and especially children, I would like to give my views on the prevention of accidents.

All are potentially equal, and consequently there is only insolence among the inferior. Americans are Inhospitable. Americans eat greedily, drink to excess and die of dyspepsia. An American abroad is ashamed of his country; he likes nothing better than to be mistaken for an Englishman. The best Americans live in Europe. They have produced no literature, art, music, architecture, poetry or drama. American wit and humor are. at test, only a trick of incongruous imagination. They do not speak English, but a sort of uncouth slang. AND HERE IS THE^ DEFENSE By BARON VON T A U B E . The following are extracts from "In Defense of America," written by Bar* on Oustav von Taube, a Pole, who now Uvea In Paris, but who spent many years in the United States and has traveled extensively: THE ANSWER. What does the dollar represent bnt the embodiment of a man's work, together with the possibility of farther productive activity beneficial to all? Nobody can affirm that a Stanford, Carnegie, Pullman, Girard or any other of the hundreds of cash-storing human quantities did not dream of their universities, libraries, special schools, worklngmen's model Institutions, inflrmaries, colleges, etc., from the very commencement of their efforts to amass fortunes. v An almost national peculiarity of the American is his ability to derive a greater pleasure and interest from his work than from almost anything else. To aU appearance he ls more aglow with interest about the venture Itself and Its success than about the money it brings. With old Ben Franklin's lightning rods all over the world; ln a country where Faraday has so beautifully worked out Count Rumford's early notions about the transmutabiUty of energy; a country that has made the best use of Fulton's first steamboat; made the best use of Captain Maury's studies and investigations of the Gulf stream; has used for years Morse's code of telegraphy; a country ln which Edison's phonograph and cinematograph are popular and daily contribute to the enjoyment of old and young; where every car ls stopped with a Westinghouse brake and most of the houses are supplied with telephones; where cotton spinners are daily reaping the advantages of Whitney's discovery; of his gin In handling cotton; where old Remington's typing machine ls still holding its own against all comers; where Roeb- Hng's type of suspension brldgt is gradually superseding the old tube system; where a man cannot get any distance without meeting with the Buckeye harvesters, reapers and binders, with hay tedders and horse rakes, or steam drills—in the face of all that, such a sweeping assertion aB that of Charge II. can be explained only as being due to ignorance. As to the durability of American machinery, it is found to be the direct result of the processes used, and the very American plan of work ls the very opposite of the continental and English. In the states they generally calculate a railway locomotive good for fifteen years; for quick traffic, for only twelve years; and they design and construct it accordingly. This they do estimating that during that period improvement will have sufficiently advanced to make the use of the old type a dead loss. Cn what baBis an activity of yearly xy milliards is of a sudden found to be unbusinesslike and possessing merely business forms ye gods might know! I certainly do not. 'Most of the larger business ventures being organized as stock companies and corporations, competition of the sharpest kind being the habitual order of things, and all other factors ln what could be bought for money being equal between the competitors, that company gets the best of it which has the best and most talented men at its head. As an abstract, obscure dealer in abstract mental products I understand and see how some American men may have got into discredit, but I would call the attention of J. B., who proverbially stands for the fair and square, that those Americans are far from being typical of the country or its spirit They are rather types of the original places they hall from. No perfect scholar or man of really good and delicate taste can ever bo made by education only; it is rather to Dame Nature than to the educational institutions that such characteristics owe tfreir inception. Any United States lad from the public school shows more gumption and capacity of doing something than most of the foreign full-grown element on i landing. The fellow educated in the United States has more public spirit in him and a greater capacity for public affairs than is the case anywhere else. The higher article has better chances ln the Union, after all, as it is not squashed so much as elsewhere by the deadening effect of our modern new shape of slavery—that of the, socially received formulae of model figures! The fearful corruption connected with this political activity is unavoidable ln any human center serving as the dumping ground of all varieties Of human elements, to whom political rights are granted even before the tlements themselves have bean assimilated. Bribery in politics is a passably rare occurrence outside of the city centers* where a large unassimilated foreign element is generally to be met with. Outside of the International read!* nesB to accept a cigar properly offered, I must emphatically state that ever since civil-service reform was introduced under Cleveland no government official of the United States is to be bribed. John Bigelow, Andrew 'White and Mr. Cboate are types of American statesmen. Certainly all three were thoroughly cultivate^ men. In Germany I met with the same uncultured election procedure as in the United States—gross personal blackmail, produced i n the same way. only with less good nature and apparently in full earnest. In Russia I heard the wildest abuse of some of the best and cleanest men^itrtbe country. I found something like it in Merrie Old England, so that finally I came to the conclusion that this not overrented feature i n politics is far from being an American peculiarity. The American father will say "his boy has to touch bottom when young," and touching bottom ln the United States means an early mutual understanding with the healthy element oi earnest workers from below and not intercourse with the few varnished figures above. The average run of children i i healthy and anything you please but hysterical and nervous; they would compare very well Indeed with th« average run of English hopefuls. Let it suffice to recollect the Important services rendered to the cultured interests of the world by America as the permanent sociological laboratory where most of the present isms and even some embryos of future vagaries have never ceased to be experimented upon. The American is Just the man who appreciates personality in the fullest sense of the word. As to the trademark of the common Insolence among the Inferior, it is an international characteristic, only perhaps more noticeable in America. National brag ls a trait possessed In common with the English cousin, and It would almost appear to be bad ethics, on ths part of the pot to accuse the kettle at the same hearth of being black. Tou certainly encounter the broadest, most generous and most enjoyable hospitality when invited by some gentleman to his country seat, though of course invitations do not occur without your passing previously a strict examination. Excepting young clerks, office boys and other young hopefuls, who accomplish marvels in swallowing all kinds oi cakes and tarts at luncheon time, you will hardly find anything really resembling eating among the serious men of business at that time of the day. A generous breakfast ls the customary rule before leaving home, then very little, if anything, for lunch, and a full spread for dinner at home in the evening. Any drinking, and It is very little prevalent except at dinner and after dinner, is Indulged in only outside of office and working hours. Of the American humor there is no need to speak. Old "Sam Slick, the Clock Maker," Methody preacher and Shakespeare reciter, Artemus Ward and Mark Twain are too precious a possession of the English-loving feeling and speaking people all over the world to need a defense. As to the English language used in America, ~the popular medium is far ahead of its counterpart In England. Leaving the cockney'and Londoners' Whitechapel as duly countered by the Bowery of New York, we face the undeniable fact that any . Englishman traveling the 3,000 miles from New York to San Francisco and the California coast will be at fewer pains to understand and be understood than an American journeying some couple of hundred miles or even less in England, with its localisms changing with almost every county of the realm. it mm STORY OF DECATUR Interesting Account Is Related of Hot Time at That Important Strong. I hold in Alabama. ! Elephant That Charged. Dr. Dunbar-Brunton spent some years ln Africa as a district medical officer. One of his most thrilling adventures was with a bull elephant. With a friend, who went off on another tack he had been following up the tracks of elephants all day without success, and just before sundown received word from his comrade that he was going back. Dr. Dunbar-Brunton decided to return also, but before starting on the homeward track sat down and lighted a pipe. He was smoking quietly when he heard the noise of his friend's beaters, and a native who carried his gun said, "Look!" A great bull elephant was close upon them. Very quietly the doctor laid down his pipe and took his gun, while the natives scuttled up the trees in terror. The doctor took a quick shot, but Just missed the animal's brain pan. It threw up its trunk, opened its mouth, «put its tusks forward and charged. A second shot struck in the shoulder, but did not check its onrush. The doctor shot again when It was within a few paces, and hurtling past him it fell with legs outstretched, with a bullet ln its heart The doctor turned to his pipe. It was still alight, and he finished his smoke while the natives danced round tne body of the elephane.—Chicago News. Found Old Hiding Place. Whilst workmen were repairing an ancient fireplace and chimney at Fferm Farm, near Mold, Flintshire, England, the other day, which1 was built ln the early part of the sixth century, they discovered by chance in the chimney a revolving stone, which, upon being removed, revealed a secret chamber. The apartment contained oak furniture ot antique design, including a table, upon which lay antique firearms and feeding utensils, and also the remains, reduced to dust, of a repast. It is surmised that the place was utilized as a place of concealment by Royalist fugitives during the civil war ef the reign of Charles I., from which period it had remained undisturbed and, until the present tint, undiscovered. In the National Tribune of May 21 Sergeant Ashley V . Newton, Co. 3d Mich., in "Colored Troops at Deca-j tur," says that at Nashville his regiment got a rush order to proceed to- Decatur to reinforce General Milroy, j who was being closely pressed by For-! rest. General Milroy was not at) Decatur; neither was Forrest, writes-: Will A. McTeer, adjutant, 3d Tenn.1 Cav.f and asting asistant adjutant general, First Brigade, Fourth Divl-j sion, Cavalry Corps, Maryville, Tenn.J In the National Tribune. Gen. Robert S. Granger was ln command of the> military district of north Alabama,; with headquarters at Decatur and Huntsville. Col. C. C. Doolittle, of the; 18th Mich., was in command of the* post at Decatur. ' Comrade Newton says: "We found the bridge burned, but General Mil-! roy had provided for our coming by, erecting a pontoon bridge." j "Our Cavalry Brigade reported toi General Granger for duty, arriving at) Decatur July 10, 1864, and the bridge! was destroyed before that time, and the pontoon was erected then, and appeared as If It had been there for months before. It appears that it was placed there by General Sherman when on his way from Memphis toj Chattanooga." I Further, Comrade Newton says:! "The Confederates seeing us, empha* sized their objection by rushing a six-; •piece battery down to the bank of the; river within easy range of the bridge, and they would have mixed things up very seriously for the 3d Mich, but for t>.e timely intervention of two companies of colored troops that were sent by General Milroy to distract their attention in another direction." I was acting assistant adjutant general of the Cavalry Brigade and on the line of battle. Hood (not Forrest) attacked us, October 26,1864. In General Granger's report to General Thomas he fixes his whole force at Decatur at 1,750, and with the 29th Mich, added, which had just arrived, and 850 absent on patrol duty, there were only 2,000 men to defend Decatur. Every available man was placed out on the line, and then we could not reach around more than half way in front of our works. The only reason that the first day's fighting was not one of the greatest battles of the war was because there were not men enough to make it so. There were no colored troops there that day, but In the night we were reinforced by the 14th U . S. Colored Inf., commanded by Col. (afterwards General) J. T. Morgan. The 3d and 29th Mich, reinforced us while engaged in the hottest part on the first afternoon. - I remember distinctly their coming, and as they went out on the line the appearance of the bright, new uniforms was ln decided contrast to our own worn and dingy clothing. The Confederates were using a battery at a lively rate with deadly effect, but it was nearly a mile from the river and not in range of the bridge at all. On the 27th the enemy threw up some pits on the bank of the river, about a mile above Decatur and hearly a half mile from where the battery was first used by them on the first day. On the morning of the 28th a detachment from the 18th Mich, and 102d Ohio (according to my journal 47 men) made their way down the river, succeeded in flanking the Confederate rifle pits, made a gallant; charge from their rear, in which a number of men were killed and wounded, and brought in 120 prisoners. I stood on the upper porch of the Decatur hotel when Colonel Morgan came in front with the 14th regiment, of colored troops (not two companies), and they piled their knapsacks, leaving one man to the, company as guards. I noticed Colonel Morgan holding in his hand a small hatchet, and also that a number of the officers had hatchets. They started out in the open field, marching in excellent order to within rifle range of the Confederates, when they fired a volley, then raised a yell and charged. The affair did not last much mora than 20 minutes, bnt the work wa Woody. They drove the Confederal from their* support with the bayon The guns were spiked, and the colored boys had to fall down along the water's edge under the bank of the river, while the enemy ran along above them and shot down on them. In his report 6f this charge; general Granger says: "We lost 40 kilted and wounded," and up to that time oar. loss amounted to 80. In the forenoon of October 29 ,the enemy began to. withdraw, and I was at the place where, this battery had stood, and it was a : place, of blood without a doubt Prior to this charger Capt. Albert F. Beach, Battery A, 1st Tenn., had taken two sections of hia guns up on the north side of the river, opposite the Confederate battery, and they fought an artillery dual across the river, and Beach succeeded ln blowing up two of their caissons, which killed quite a number of tbem, and this was evident on th* srotind. ; • The Corrector of Destinies Being Tales of Randolph Mason as Related by His Private Secretary, Courtiand Parks Thepistrict Attorney By Melville Davis son Post Copyright by Edward J . Clode One of the most disastrous hank failures In tbe history of the middle wesi was that of the Patton National Bank of S t Louis. It took down with it almost every one of its correspondents —the Exeter Trust company especially, and Blac'kwell's bank, one of the oldest in the Mississippi valley. Its New York correspondent, the Amsterhof National, sent west a half-million dollars in gold that never returned to its money vaults. The bank was closed by the national bank examiner on a Saturday afternoon, a few minutes before three o'clock. I was in the Stock Exchange on Wall street the next Monday, following the fluctuations of some St. Louis securities which the Patton National had been instrumental in placing In New York. It was an ugly morning Cor anything west of the Ohio. I came out of the Stock Exchange at two o'clock disgusted with securities. The Astors were the longest-headed financiers after all. The earth alone was secure. As I went down the steps into the street, an old man came out from one of the exits of the gallery to the exchange and spoke to me. "Is this Mr. Courtlandt Parks?" he said. I re» plied that it was, and hurried on up the crowded street. I was not in a very pleasant mood, and he was evidently a provincial out to see the horned and hoofed beasts of which he had read in his weekly newspapers. He followed me, however, and when I reached the crossing on Broadway he was at my elbow. I spoke to him then, a bit impatiently. "May I inquire," I said, "who it is that honors me with so close an attem nee?" The old man hesitated a little. "I am Jeremiah Patton," he replied, "the president of the Patton National Bank of St. Louis. I want to see Randolph tyfason." I turned -squarely upon him, with no effort to conceal my amazement. He was a tall old man with closecropped gray hair, mild brown eyes and a kindly mouth. His face was wan and colorless, and one of his legs dragged a little when he walked. I could not stop there on that crowded corner to converse, even with a Magus, although I should not have been more disturbed had I met one of these fabled wise men. I took him with me to Randolph Masonja house. I wished to hear his story, to learn the details of the failure. The newspapers were not a little puzzled over it; the bank had seemed prosperous, without a shadow upotfit, up to the day it was closed by order of the comptroller of the currency. BankB do not commonly drop, some fine morning, suddenly into ruin; whisperings go, usually, before destruction. I was a bit doubtfud of the identity of the tall old man until I saw him bare-headed, without his great coat, in a chair by the fire. Then I instantly recognized him from the newspaper cuts, which represented him seated by a table; but he was more impressive, stronger in this pose. His forebead was broad, his head big and wellcovered with thick gray hafr; but the face, as I have said, was gaunt, the eyepits and cheek-bones showing the first ravages of disaster. His story, told to Randolph Mason ln a voice that broke now and then and was pieced out with desolate gesopinion, beyond human agencies to correct The matter had proceeded too far. Events, arising in orderly, in Infernal sequence, had entirely overwhelmed him. Jeremiah Patton was seventy-five years bid. He had made a fortune as a wholesale merchant, and had retired from active business late in life, with a reputation established throughout the west for fair dealing and highest Integrity. He had no family, his wife having been dead for twenty years, tt had appeared to him that by establishing a bank, he could usefully em* ploy his wealth, so he had erected a piodern office building on a good corner, and founded the Patton Savings bank, of which he was president and almost the exclusive owner. His object was to encourage a spirit of thrift among the middle class of the city, Ind bis method was to allow his depositors every cent that their deposits earned, less the fixed charges of the bank. His own capital yielded a sufficient Income for his needs. * * , A' The bank quickly sprang Into prpny , tnenceV Its deposits were enormous. ' Its president found himself under ft heavy burden of care and responsibility In the Investment of these large sums so they would yield a substantial 'profit \J . ' ; About this time, Belmont Lane, the American president of tbe Russian b i l company, came to St. Louis tG acquire, if fiossible, the producing territory of Missouri, and to establish 'banking relations. Lane was a man of courtly address, imposing presence, and charming personality. He very soon was on intimate terms with -Jeremiah Patton, and he suggested a consolidation of several smaller banks With tbat of Patton, and the founding <of a national hank. This jplan was earried out, and the Patton National Bank of St Louis was the result, Patton advancing sufficient money to acquire the major .portion of the stock,x while Lane carried, through various employes of his company, a nominal interest He, therefore, did not appear on the books as an owner of any stock, and his name was in no way connoted with the institution. He explained that because of tbe wide financial relations of the oil .company it would be unwise to connect his name with any one bank, since, should the company want to borrow money, he would be asfced why he did not get it at his own bank. Jeremiah Patton remained as the president of this new institution and its nominal head, although its active affairs and virtual control passed into the hands of a board of directors selected from the associates of Belmont Lane. The old man halted a little in the march of his narrative, searching if he could bring into more vivid outline the figure of Belmont Lane. This man's real character was still a mystery to him. The d u e t t o his charming, persuasive, dominant personality eluded him when he tried to embody it in words. It always so eluded him, he said, when Lane was not before him. In the man's absence, his influence was naught; before one's face, it was irresistible. When. Belmont Lane urged a plan, It seemed at once practicable, alluring, filled with promise. He made men gaze with him from his own window, and out of it all things looked good, So, when Belmont Lane suggested a sub-company with an enormous paper capital to acquire leases in Missouri for the Russian company, he readily induced Jeremiah Patton to assume its presidency and to hold in his name almost the entire stock. Again, Lane was not of this company; a few of his employes stood in the charter with Patton, and made a board of directors which revolved around Belmont Lane's finger, as the bank did. One fine morning, while Mr. Patton was in Chicago, the sub-company borrowed two millions of dollars from the Patton National bank on its note, with its stock as collateral. Ten days later, the National Bank Examiner condemned this loan and declared the collateral worthless. A further examination of the bank's accounts showed extensive overdrafts of the sub-company hidden under dummy notes. The bank was insolvent, and the examiner closed it at the direction of the Federal authorities at Washington. The Assets of this sub-company proved utterly worthless. Belmont Lane could not be * found. He was thought to have returned to Russia. Jeremiah Patton was utterly ruined. But this was not the worst feature of the situation; the incensed public demanded that some one be punished for so great a swindle. They instantly erected a guillotine, and found no head to place under it but that of Jeremiah Patton. At this point in his story the old man arose, took several financial sheets from his pocket and spread them out on the table. Their headlines clamored for Jeremiah Patton's arrest "You see," he continued, "I was president of the company which wrecked the bank, and its greatest stockholder. My coming to New York will be considered as a flight from justice. I can hardly hope to reach St. tures, presented, a situation, in my Louis unaccompanied by a United States marshal. I am certain to be indicted by the next Federal grand Jury, and certain to be convicted." Randolph Mason was standing by the fire, his shoulder leaning against the mantel, his arm extended along i t He began to examine the old man with sharp, searching queries—not as to the details of the story he had just related, but with respect to the personnel of the Federal court i n this city. The old man replied that both the reputed to have great Influence with the new judge. H i s advice was usually followed with respect to the conduct of trials. The common impression waa that the judge, not yet familiar with the Federal procedure, assumed the advice of the district attorney to be correct The district attorney was successfully posing as an able lawyer, while, l n fact, he was an obscure practitioner of Indifferent learning. ..This was the gist of all that JereiniahPatton had heard about this court Randolph Mason took his arm from the mantelshelf -and turned to the banker. "You will at once return to S t Louis," he said. "Employ the best counsel you are able to obtain. When you are indicted, insist upon an immediate trial; oppose every delay, no matter how favorable it may seem to you. Object to it, and put your objection on the record. When you are acquitted—" The old man interrupted Mason with an appealing protest. "But I won't be acquitted, Mr. Mason," he said. "Stetheimer will arrange his jury for that, If lt is necessary. But he won't have to arrange it. The people are mad for a sacrifice. A jury could not be got that would acquit a bank president under such circumstances. Belmont Lane has brought me up to the door of the penitentiary. The United States court will put me inside and turn the key in the lock." Randolph Mason paid not the slightest attention to the man's words. He merely repeated the last sentence of his statement. "When you are acquitted," he said, "you will come at once to me, and I will adjust the remaining features of this problem.*! Jeremiah Fatton returned to St. Louis on that very evening, and I followed the order of subsequent events in the newspapers of that city. The Federal court was at that time opening its session. A n indictment was found. Patton's attorneys demurred to this indictment. This demurrer was overruled. They then demanded an immediate trial, and the court ordered the case to a jury. Two weeks Joy and Increased importance, put tbe five thousand dollars ln his pocket, and Jacob Solmeyer returned to his office in New York. The trial of Jeremiah Patton continued. A l l the affairs of the bank were gone into. Masses of documentary evidence were introduced. The district attorney was determined to make his reputation on this case. He huraed witb dramatic nose: every piece Of red fire that lie could lay his hands on. The courtroom swarmed with reporters. The evidence was printed in detail ln a l l the great dailies. Patton was looked upon as an intolerable scoundrel who had wrecked the bank of which he was president, and looted his depositors by borrowing on worthless securities great sums for a company which he owned- On a Saturday afternoon, the district attorney closed for the government and rested his-^case. *0n the following Sunday Jacob Solmeyer telegraphed the district attorney that there would be a meeting of the bankers on Tuesday evening, and to come at once to fcew York. Stetheimer called Solmeyer by long-di$tance telephone, explained his situation in regard to the Patton trial, and asked if the meeting could not be postponed. Solmeyer answered that a postponement was impossible, that some members of the syndicate were the heads of great banking houses in Europe and could not await any man's convenience; that the district attorney must attend the meeting, or return the retainer paid to him and abandon the scheme. Uncertain what course to follow, the district attorney took counsel with his wife. She advised him to get rich while he could, while the winged hand of 'opportunity was reached out to him. Money was the only actual power that could be stored away against the time of need. Everything else was like fairy gold—yellow oa*. leaves on the morning after., Still, Stetheimer feared to abandon the case to subordinates and go out of St. Louis. He would be open to the charge of having been purchased by the defendant; Ijje oteT-aflorne^ was an^ were consumed in the examination of talesmen; new panels were obtained and almost wholly rejected. It seemed that every man in the city had conceived an opinion against the prisoner. Finally a curious medley of jurors was secured, and the government began the introduction of its testimony. Up to this time, Mason had done nothing. Now he sent for Jacob Solmeyer, a lawyer of considerable prominence, and explained to him what be was to do. I know in detail how Solmeyer carried out his instructions: He went at once to St. Louis and called on the district attorney. Ht» explained that certain large operator* of Chicago and Kansas City were la coring to effect a consolidation of all the big firms i n a certain line in the west into one gigantic company with a judge and the district attorney were i hundred million dollar capitalization, products of a recent political upheaval] under the laws of New Jersey; that in his state. The former United ] the matter was still in an early, for- States judge, a man in but middle life, < mative state. The bankers who were had died suddenly the previous September. The present judge, more a politician than lawyer, had yielded an election to the senate in order io obtain this life appointment to the bench. He was generally regarded as an honorable man, but one not great* ly learned ln the law. The district; attorney was a man named Stetheimer, elevated to his position as a reward for conspicuous party service ln the last national election.' He had organized a certain large element of the city, and held to furnish the large sums necessary to purchase such plants as would not voluntarily come into the trust, feared that some unfriendly district attorney might attempt to bring the matter into court, and thereby affect the bonds of this syndicate, which they would hold as their security. If, however, the principal office of this great projected company could be placed in some large city of the west, where the district attorney of the United States was a person of conservative ideas, they would furnish the money; otherit until a bargain was struck for this *i*e they would not Solmeyer repposition. The man was ambitious and hungry to he trich. The" position of United States district attorney carried with it ft general practice of the best value in tbe Federal courts. This practice Stetheimer was anxious to secure. Jeremiah Patton had heard this criticism of him. Some editors of opposite politics had even accused him of seeking the civil business of large interests under a veiled suggestion of protection against thle rigor of certain acts of congress. Mr. Patton thought these corporations were principally those that were said to be constant violators of the Interstate commerce laws. SftttV the district attorney *r*» resented these bankers, and this was the problem they lied presented to him for solution. He had gone carefully over the entire field, and finally settled upon the district attorney of St Louis aa filling every requirement of his clients. If he coulcf act Solmeyer would ^pay him five thousand dollars as a retainer; then, when the bankers held their meeting in New besides that, the assistant district attorney would step up into his place before the public eye. He must find some other way. In his extremity, he determined to apply to the judge for a postponement of the. trial until the next term of court This would give him an opportunity to meet the bankers in New York, and still conduct the case. He went at once to the judge and explained that he had just discovered a possl ble connection of several other prominent persons with the wrecking of the Patton National bank, and that before he cross-examined Jeremiah Patton, he wished thoroughly to investigate this evidence and fortify himself with all the details. This would take considerable time. Stetheimer strengthened his suggestion with excellent arguments—it was a matter of the greatest public lmpor. tance; thousands of helpless depositors relied wholly on the courts to insure the fidelity of their bankers; swift complete, ruthless punishment of every person involved, high or low, was their only safeguard. He wished to ferret out every one of the criminals concerned, to run them down, brand them as thieves, and hand them over to the warden of tbe penitentiary, and the Judge must give him ample time in which to do tbis. In fact, it was ft duty owed to the whole pec* pie of Missouri. The judge decided finally that if these were the facts, he would direct a continuance upon the motion of the district attorney. 8tetheimer went then to the attorneys for Jeremiah Patton. He said to them that his wife was ill, threatened with appendicitis, it was thought; that he wished to take ber at once to Philadelphia; tbat be would probably be required to remain there during the operation and tbe convalescence of the patient, and requested them to consent to ft postponement of the case until York, he could come before them and rthe following term. The attorneys arrange about his annual retainer, courteously expressed their regret The size of this annual retainer Solmeyer -hesitated to suggest, but intimated something in the neighbor hood of twenty thousand dollars, • The district attorney glowed with but replied tbat this was ft criminal trial, and that they could not consent to any order, no matter what Still. tinuance,-and if the Judge wished to enter such an order, they would make no vigorous oral argument against lt When the court convened on Monday morning, the judge made the continuance upon the motion of the district attorney. This motion was not strenuously resisted by the counsel for Jeremiah Patton. They offered a formal objection for the prisoner, which was overruled, and the exception was entered on the record. The Judge discharged the jury, ordered a new panel and took up the trial of some petty revenue cases, the assistant district attorney appearing for the government. Stetheimer explained the meaning of this continuance to the public by covertly suggesting the story told to the judge. The public was appeased with the promise of more and prominent victims, and the district attorney stood justified in the conduct of his case. Moreover, his reputation for shrewdness was established, and his figure as a far-sighted, incorruptible public servant on the trail of higher thieves lengthened, widened, loomed larger. He left immediately for New York accompanied by his wife, who was taken to the station in an ambulance. Jacob Solmeyer arranged a meeting of some of the more prosperous looking of his clients and took the district attorney before them. They discussed the problems of the great combine, questioned the lawyer at length upon the status of their rights under the interstate Commerce Act, the possibility of a Federal investigation, the effect of such a move on the bonds of the trust as a security, and the scope of the act in its criminal features. The district attorney slurred over the difficulties in the Federal statue, pointing out that the section providing individual punishment for violation of the act was already a dead letter, that the act itself was largely a bugaboo to appease the farmer. He urged the combine and promised immunity in Missouri. Solmeyer's "bankers" adjourned without finally determining upon the loan to the contemplated combine. However, they agreed to employ the district attorney, in case the loan was made, and to pay him twenty-five thousand dollars a year. Solmeyer gave the man an additional one thousand dollars, and he returned to St. Louis. On Thursday morning Jacob Solmeyer reported to Randolph Mason, and told of the transaction in detail. He was puzzled to the finger tips and curious to know Mason's object. But he was a man of discretion, aware of the value of silence and the folly of any query put to Randolph Mason. His theory was that Mason wished to make a case against the district attorney looking to his removal, and in test of this theory he ventured to present his report carefully in writing, attaching to it a sworn stenographic report of the district attorney's speech to the "bankers," including his offer of protection against the Interstate Commerce Act. Randolph Mason tossed the papers into the grate when Solmeyer had finished, concluded the conference, and dismissed him. In the hall the old German blinked behind his thick glasses. "Mein Qott! Mr. Parks," he said; "vat does Randolph Mason mean? He pay six thousand dollars to get der district attorney on record, den he burns der record." "Solmeyer," I replied, "I do not know who was the man in the iron mask. I do not know what melody it was the sirens sang, neither do I know what Randolph Mason means." And yet I was not in the least puz- , zled. I thought 1 saw clearly into the solution of it all. Mason's ruse had failed—that was the reading of the riddle. He had planned to lure the district attorney out of S t Louis and thereby cripple the prosecution; but the shrewdness of the man had forestalled him. Mason had warned Patton to oppose a continuance; he evidently counted upon his counsel to resist with such vigor that the court would go on with the trial; be bad not dreamed of a mere objection on the record. The plan had gone to pieces. I bad just pieced out and rounded up my theory as the correct solution of this otherwise inexplicable sideplay, when Randolph Mason came out of his room, walked past me in the hall and started up the stairway. He stopped on the third step-and looked down at me. "Parks," ne said, "go out to St. Louis at the next term of the court, and move lt to discharge Jeremiah Patton. On your table is a citation to the only case you will require." Then he went on up the stairway, bis hdnd sliding along the mahogany rail. Thus my theory, like that of Jacob Solmeyer, wae snuffed out My train to St. Louis was eight hours late because of floods in the Ohio valley. The case of Jeremiah Patton had been called for retrial when I finally reached the United States courtroom. The building was packed with spectators. Tbe district attorney was Inside the rail with a bright new rosebud pinned to the lapel of his coat The prisoner looked tired oet and very old, a wretched, pitiable figure, seated by the table with his attorney*; the clerk was calling a jury.

C l o u d s of s m o k e which suddenly e n v e l o p e d s e v e r a l buildings at the Michigan Home for Feeble Minded, Friday, caused excitement among the inmates and led attendants to believe* a fire of serious nature had started., The shrieking of the institution fire whistle increased the panic.

Davis t i nd l u v daughter, Mrs. Blanche Sc^rtbner, who accompanied their husband and father, a well*to-do Antrim farmer, to ^Pontiac asylum last August^, after he had twice attempted suicide and had been declared insane, refused to permit him to remarhV there because they cay the room assigned to him was not fit for human habitation. Within two days they had made arrangements for his care at a sanitarium near Flint, where he is now being treated. The thermometer registered 94 in the shade- in Charlotte Monday.

As shows and exposition* are supposed toifem^hasize progresa/ to b r i n s ^ ' ^ out by comparison, new and better methods of operation? $nd ^as tfcls Is an era of close margin in business, the best minds of the country are constantly e n g a g e d ^ i g J B t gf production, and marketing methods. It is reasonable to expect that;an industry Involving i f billion,.oi dollars an*, iSJaliy, ~£s does the"flairy industry In" $perica, must have the best brains of the day working out Improvement in the vast problems that are attached to its many branches. ; That this stupendous industry might receive its proper recognition among the world's activities, a few patriotic men organized this association for the purpose of holding an annual dairy show that would be a short course in dairy husbandry unequaled anywhere else, mapping out a line of work to produce an educational event that would supplement the work of our agricultural colleges, which was much to be desired in the dairy world, and each recurring show taking advantage of experience gained in the previous shows has improved until it is today somewhere near what its founders intend it shall be. Twelve hundred to fourteen hundred head of the best breeds of dairy cattle are promised for exhibition this year, being judged by competent trained experts on type and performance, with all records of performance and cost of production available, with what is best in the arts of breeding and feeding developed by masters in the industry placed at tbe disposal of the visitor, and with the highest achievement of the genius of man on linos of caring for and marketing dairy products before you, the 1912 show promises to surpass all its predecessors, and it would indeed be a laggard who would not justify time and expense of attendance upon this great show. Within its portals the old-timer can gain most useful knowU edge for his daily farm activities, and a beginner can equip himself with the groundwork for embarking upon a successful dairy enterprise. The handful of men who commenced this show have been supplemented by several hundred others from all over the country who from contact were convinced of the integrity of purpose of its founders and desired to become Identified withv the work undertaken. As success each year crowns the efforts of the management the feeling takes root with the dairy people/that this show should te the mecca to which all men lnteresteoT^in/ dairy progress should make an annual pilgrimage a n d ^ r i n g their fellows with them in goodly numbers. This show is the mart for exchange of experiences and ideas that j have made or broke those following the lines disclosed. It is the ma. where all that is best in dairying, be it breeding, feeding, fitting for show yard, or developing to the highest standard of production for market purposes is discussed; where all' that is modern in farm and dairy machinery is displayed in practical manner. Here the east meets the west; the youngster rubs ( oows with the veteran. In fact, no fair or exposition can hope to attain the value and importance that this exposition has attained. It stauds today honestly administered for the dairy industry as a whole; it knows no breed or interest above another and is the highest exponent of all that is best in dairying. The seventh annual show, better equipped, with all features of merit amplified, new and* instructive features added in the government educational exhibit, no majttef what character of stock raising he is engaged in a day or two spent at the show must be helpful to tbe man who wants to advance in his methods and make more money from his farm. It is a farmer's show, the less pretentious scale you farm on the more need you have of its teachings. The railroads are doing a great work along their respective lines and they, together with the agricultural and dairy press, are rendering valuable support to this show. This show is held in Chicago every year. This year October 24 to November %.

The pair are taken to Hicks' cabin, in an almost inaccessible spot, and there Murrell visits Betty and reveals his, part in the plot and his object. ¢(¾" plot and his object. CHAPTER; X X ' (Continued). "Let me go!" she panted. He laughed his cool laugh Of triumph. "Let you go—ask me anything but that, Betty! Have you no reward for patience such as mine? A whole sum* mer has passed since I saw you first—" There was the noisy shuffling of feet on the stairs, and releasing Betty, Murrell swung about on his heel and faced the dtfor. It was pushed open an inch at a time by a not too confident hand and Mr. Slosson thus guardedly presented himself to the eye of his chief, whom he beckoned . from the room. "Well?" "said Murrell, when they stood together on the landing. "Just come across to the keel boat!" and Slosson led the way down stairs and from the house. "Damn you, Joe, you might have* waited!" observed the outiaw. Slosson gave him a hardened grin. They crossed the clearing and boarded the keel boat which rested against the bank. As they did so the cabin in the stern gave up a shattered presence in the shape of Tom Ware. Murrell started violently. "I thought you were hanging out in Memphis, Tom?" he said, and his brow darkened, aa. sinister and forbidding, he stepped closer to the planter. Ware dM not answer at once, but looked at Murrell out of heavy bloodshot eyes, hie face pinched and ghastly. At last he said;, speaking with visible effort". ,AI stayed in Memphis until five o'clock this morning." "Damn your early hours!" roared Murrell. "What are you doing here? ! suppose you've been showing that dead face of yours about the neighborhood— why didn't you stay at Belle Plain, since jpou couldn't keep away?" : "I haven't been near Belie Plain; i came bere instead. How am 1 going to meet people and answer questions?" His teeth were chattering. "Is it known she's missing?" he added. "Hicks raised the alarm the first thlnT'thfs morning,* according to the Instructions I'd given him." * "Yes?" gasped Ware. He was dripping from every pore and the sickly color came and Went on his urisnaven cheeks. Murrell dropped a heavy hand,on his shoulder. * "You haven't been at Belle Plain, you say, but has any one seen.you on the road this morning?*' ' "No one, John," cried Ware, pantlag between each word. There7 ^as a moment's pause, and .Ware spoke againr "Wtyat are they doing at Belie Plain?" he demanded In a whisper. Murrell's Hps curled. "I understand there Is talk of suicide," he said; "Good!" cried Ware. ' J "They are dragging tbe bayou down below the bouse. It^ooks as, though "She'll be sent down river tonfight," | torth an empty sound, and he sighed again; he attempted to peer into it, closing one watery eye as he tilted it toward the light. "I wonder no Yankee has ever thought to Invent a jug with a glass bottom," be observed. "What for?" asked Mahaffy.. "Y/ou astonish me, Solomon/' exclaimed the Judge. "Coming as you do from that section which invented tbe wooden nutmeg, and an eight-day clock that has been known to run as much as four or five hours at a stretch. I am aware the Yankees are an ingenious people; I wonder none ot 'em ever thought or a Jug with a glass bottom, so that when1 a body holds it up to the light he can see at a glance whether it is empty or not. Do you reckon Pegloe has sufficient confidence to fill the Jug again for us?" But Mahaffy's expression Indicated ho great confidence in Mr. Pegloe's confidence. "Credit," began the judge, "is proverbially shy; still it may sometimes be increased, like the muscles of the body and the mental faculties, by judicious uBe. I've always regarded Pegloe's as a cheap mind. I hope l have done him an injustice." He put on his hat, and tucking the jug under his arm went from the house. Ten or fifteen minutes elapsed. Mahaffy considered this a good sign; lt didn't take long to say no, he reflected. Another ten or fifteen elapsed. Mahaffy lost heart. Then there came a hasty step beyond the door, it was thrown violently open, and the judge precipitated himself into the room. A glance showed Mahaffy that he was laboring under intense excitement. "Solomon, I bring shocking news. God knows what the next few hours may reveal!" cried the Judge, mopping his brow. "^Ilss Malroy his disappeared from Belle Plain, and Hannibal has gone with her!" "Where have they gone?" asked Mahaffy, and his long jaw dropped. "Would to God I had an answer ready for that question, Solomon!" answered the judge, with a melancholy shake of the nead. Ho gazed down on his friend with an air of large tolerance. "I am going to BeWe Plain, but you are too drunk. Sleep it off, Solomon, and join me when said Murrell. "Captain," t^gan Slosson, who up to this had taken no part in the conversation, "when are you going to cross to t'other side of the bayou?" "Soon," replied Murrell. Slosson laughed. "I didn't know but you'd clean torgot the Clan's business. 1 want to ask another Question—but first 1 want to say that. no one thinks higher or more frequent of the ladies than just me; Vm genuinely fphd of 'em, and I've never lifted my hand ag'in 'em except In .kindness." Mr. Slosson looked at Ware with an exceedingly virtuous expression of countenance. He continued:* "Yo'* orders are that we're to slip out of this a little afore midnight, but suppose there's a hitch —'here's the lady knowing what she knows and here's the boy knowing what he knows." "There can be no hitch," rasped out Murrell arrogantly. "I never knew a speculation that couldn't go wrong; and by rights we should have got away last night." "Well, whose fault is it you didn't?" demanded Murrell. "In a manner it were mine, but the ark got on a sandbank as" we; were fetching it in and it took us the whole damn'night to get clear." "Well?"1 prompted Murrell, v l t h a sullen fro,wii. "Suppose they get shut of. that notion of theirs that the l a ^ ' a done drowned herself; suppose th^y take to watching j the river? Or suppose the whole damn bottom drops o i i ^ f this deal? Wihat then? The lady, good looking, as she is, knows eiough to make'west Tennessee mlghti* onhealthy fer some of us. I 'say, suppose it'ff'a flash in the pan and you have to, crowd the distance in between you and this part of the world, you can't [tell me you'll have any use for her then." Slosson paused impressively. ''And here's Mr. Ware "feeling hati, feeling like hell," he re-1 sumed. "Him and me don't want to be left In no trap with you &one Ood only knows where." "I'll send a man to take charge of the keel boat. I can't risk any more of your bungling, Joe." "That's all right, but you don't answer my question," persisted Slosson, with admirable tenacity of purpose. "What is your question, Joe?" "A lot can happen between this and midnight—" "If things go wrong with us there'll be a blaze at the head of the bayou; Does that satisfy you?" "And what then?" Murrell hesitated. "What about the girl?" Insisted Slosson, dragging him back to the point at issue between them. "As a man I wouldn't lift my hand ag'in po good looking woman except/ l i k V 1 said, in kindness; but she can't be turned loose; she knows too much. What's the word, Captain—you say it!" he urged. He made a gesture of appeal to Ware. "Look for the light; better still, look for the man I'll send." And with this Murrell would have turned away, but Slosson detained him. "Who'll he be?" "Some fellow who knowsvthe river," "And if it's the light?" asked the tavern-keeper in a hoarse undertone. Again he looked toward Ware, who, dry-lipped and ashen, was regarding him steadfastly. Glance met glance, for a brief Instant they looked into each other's eyes and then the hand Slosson had rested on Murrell's shoulder dropped at his side. seer had juBt fetched the news Into town." Again they were silent, all their energies being absorbed by the physical exertion they were making. The road danced before their burning eyes, it seemed to be uncoiling itself serpent-wise with hideous undulations. Mr. Mahaffy was conscious that the judge, of whom he caught a blurred vision now at his right side, now at his left, was laboring painfully ln the heat and dust, the breath whistling from between his parched lips. * "You're Just ripe for apoplexy, Price!" he snarled, moderating his pace. "Go on," said tho Judge, with stolid resolution. Two miles out of the village they came to a roadside spring; here they paused for an Instant. Mahaffy scooped up handfuls of the clear water and sucked it greedily. The judge dropped on his stomach and burled his face in the tiny pool, gulping up great thirsty swallows. "If anything happens to the child, the man responsible for It would better never been born—I'll pursue him with undiminished energy from this moment forth!" he panted. "What could happen to him, Price?" asked Mahaffy. 0 "God knows, poor little lad!" "Will you shut up!" cried Mahaffy savagely. "Solomon'/' "Why do you go building on that Idea? Why should any one harm him —what earthly purpose—" "I tell you, Solomon, we are the pivotal point in a vast circle of crime. This is a blow at me—this is revenge, sir, neither more nor less! They have struck at me through the boy, it is as plain as day." "What did the overseer say?" "Just that they found Miss Malroy gone from Belle Plain this morning, and the boy with her." "This is like you, Price! How do you know they haven't spent the night at some neighbor's?" "The^iearest neighhor is five or six miles distant. Miss Malroy and Hannibal were seen along about dusk In the grounds at Itelle Plain; do you mean to tell me you consider lt Jlkely that they set out on foot at that hour, C H A P T E R X X t . The Judge Meets the Situation. 1 The judge's and Mr. Mahaffy's celebration of the former's rehabilitated credit had occupied the shank of the evening,.the small Jio.urs .of the night, and that part of the succeeding day which the southwest described as soon In the morning; and as the stone jug, In- which? were garnered the spoils o* the highly confidential but entirely misleading conversation which the Judge had' held with Mr. Pegloe after his return from Belle Plain, lost ln weight, it might have been observed that he and Mr. Mahaffy seemed to *gatmin that nice sense of equity which should form the basis of all human relations, t h e judge watched' Mr. Mahaffy, and Mr. Mahaffy watched the judge, eac^trustfuW placing the regulation of his private conduct in' the bands of this friend, as the one most likely to be affected by the: rectitude ,o( hjs acts. * Probably sb extensive a consumption of Mr.teegioe's corn whisky bad never been accomplished with greatyou were going to reap the rewards of the excellent* management you have given her estate.

He flitted up the street, and tbe judge puffed and panted In his wake. They gained the edge of the village "There is mystery and rascality here!" said the Judge: i { "Wbai* do you know, Itace, 'jmd where did you hear inter Mahaffy ahot thei question hack over his sboui* 4ft Petfoe's; the Belle Plain over and without a word to any one, to make a visit?"

"Have a look over tbe grounds, and talk with the slaves." * "Where's the brother—wasn't he at Belle Plain last night?" "It seems be went to Memphis yea? terday." ~ ' They plodded forward in silence} how and again they were passed by some man on horseback whose tfes* tlnation was the same as their own, and then at last they caught sight of Belle Plain In Its grove of tree*. . . £ffO S B CONTINUED.)

Good Advice-Aud Free An exchange bands out some good advice when it says: "When a stranger comes along selling any sort of commodity, from a gold brick to a steel range, from mining stock to blue sky, size him np carefully, listen to bis tale of woe if you want to, but be mighty careful how you sign his contract. If he has an article of genuine merit why is it not sold through regular channels of business? One always takes an unnecessary chance with strangers passing through the country, Your father bought "Bohemian oats" aud got stung. Your grandfather signed receipts which turned np later as promissory notes which he had to pay. Learn a lesson from their experience and don't be a sucker, to be laughed at and called "Easy Money" by the smooth stranger after be has left your neighborhood and gone yon know not where. At least, it would be the part of wisdom to first consult your home merchant, who has always been your business friend, and see if he can not do just as well or better by you, before you open your pocket to a stranger. And before you sign fully, know just how it is worded, any order blank, read it over carefully, see if it binds the other fellow as firmly as it does you, be sure you known it is all right and that yon know just where to find the firm if anything goes wrong, and then sleep on it before you sign it. That is the one safe method with strangers. P i l e five b i g men i n t o a F o r d and y o u have a fair load.

She was Pinckney's oldest citizen, not in years, but in point of residence and was the first child born in that village, being born in the very year and month in which it was founded. Her father left Connecticut in 1836 and after a journey of two months by wagon, following the "blazed trail" Iccattbere and built the first blacksmith shop. His first child was born in what was known^ as the Pickett house which stood near the creamery building on Main street and was the first frame dwelling erected in that village. Miss Noble was the first child to be enrolled in the Presbyterian church, the first church established there, and was always closely identified with that church as she has been with its sucessor, the Congregational church. On June 7, 1854, she was united in marriage to Samuel Grimes and the fifty-eight years of their married life bas been spent in the same block. To this union was born four sons, Frank of Shawnee, Ohio, Willis of New York, Charles of Wayside, Nebraska and S. T. of Topeka, Kansas, who with their father, Samuel Grimes, are left to mourn her loss. That we have every facility for turning out neat printing of all kinds.

PASS RESOLUTIONS CALfclNG ON OSBORN, TO, INVESTIGATE CQfSj- , DITIONS A T JACKSON PRISON. PASSING OF RESOLUTION GREETED WJTH CHEERINGSelect Full Ticket and Set Precedent by Naming Two Women as Presidential Electors. The state convention of Socialists at Flint, ,after a preamble review of the developments at Jackson prison, adopted resolutions demanding that Gov. Chase S. Osborn and the prison board of control investigate the conditions leading up to the recent disturbance at the prison, the whipping of prisoners; that responsibility be fixed and guilty ones punished— meaning prison officials guilty 'of causing whippings. In addition to placing candidates on the state ticket the Socialists set a precedent in Michigan, it is believed, in naming two women for presidential electors. The women are Mrs. Ida Kummerfeld, of Detroit, and Alice McAfee, of Lansing. The convention was marked by a large number of women in the galand sprinkled throughout the Amusement was on the prowhen W. T. Curry, a molder Kalamazoo, who was unable as he preferred in fixing the candidatorial slate, dramatically shouted his dissatisfaction, tore up his credentials, threw them into a cuspidor, declared the convention was of the "steam roller" variety and left the building for his home in the Celery City. leries hall, gram from to do P l e n t y o f W a t e r f o r P a n a m a C a n a l . The engineers' calculations as to the sufficiency of the water supply in the Panama canal have been amply vindicated by the figures just reported from the isthmus. The* great lake of Gatun, which is being created by the dam at that point, during the week Sept. 2 to 0; accumulated just 5,740,000,000 , feet of water. During this period the water level of the lake rose three feet. Every time a ship is locked through the canal five and a half million cubic feet of water must pass and when the lake is full it will' afford enough water to fill the locks 150 times daily, which it as least twice as fast as the-ships can pass. When tho surface of the lake reaches its maximum night of 87 feet above sea levei with the water juct flowing over the crest of the dam, it will contains- the enormous amount of 192,250,000,000 cubic feet of water. Special Sailors for Navy Review. An opportunity to be a sailor in the United States navy for a period of 10 days and to tr.ke part in the nav^il review at New York next month is offered to sailors by the government. This is said to be the first time in the history of the navy that citizens have been allowed to become bona fide members of a battle ship crew without enlisting for a te^nof vj^rs. The circulaT letter sent out by the navy department asks for 1,000 men for the1 10-day period. The principal reason for the demand for these short term enlistments is that the ships have only skeleton crews and must have more men to get to New York. NOTES BY TELEGRAPH. The milling plant of the Berger- Crittenden company was destroyed by fire in Milwaukee. The loss is $250,000. In order to prevent any more escapes from the Tombs, New York, a battery of powerful electric lights is being installed ajjout the court yard and exterior of the prfson.

Prospects for the Seventh Annuar National .Dairy Show, Chicago. , While this jevent has each year given evidence of its usefulness to the dairy world; yet the rounding out of tbe seven-year period promises to give to the country one of the most valuable educational shows ever pre- • sented. With the thought in mind that the importation of dairy "products i a growing to a dangerous amouni and ,t)iat present prices and general conditions conceraiW' agrfcui'turis i n . America ^arrant^t$^Wdin»Sj amount. of work Ao stop {he t e r r i f i c d r a i n upon our gold by ?oreigTa countries for products wo should tffcfl must grow at home, the attention of the management has been given .entirely to Iho. rendering of practical demonstrations on lines of the maximum of production at the minimum of cost, of dairy products. While -features of intensemoment on sanitary and hygienio methods will be presented, yet the paramount work of this great educational show is for the farmer. Matters o£ breeding and feeding will be presented by demonstration and discussion; the better handling, and marketing of dairy products will be discussed—in fact, everything that will tend to aid in profitable^ dairy farmiiig will be here sho^a and talked over by the highest national authorities. The machinery department will have many active, interesting and instructive exhibits. It is the* intention that every exhibitor shall have an opportunity to display his exhibit, wholly or in part, in active use, thus giving practical demonstrationa under expert hands. But the cow and her place upon the farm will be the paramount issue; with $9,000,000 annually being shipped out of this country for dairy products, the cow and how to increase her capacity has the most need of consideration by all patriotic citizens. No farmer in the middle west, be hei already engaged in dairying or not, ccn afford to overlook this, ten-day short course in all that is best for tho farm. In fact, this show has assumed a relation with farming and dairying that makes it the annual round-up of all affairs of the dairy world, wherev show-yard battles am settled for the season; where trades are made and where matters affecting the next year's work are discussed and . planned. The show will be held this year, commencing October 24, in the International Amphitheater, Chicago. While the show is National in name, it will be International in character, as by comparison alone are we able to see what is being'accomplished the world over. Some new and useful; classes are being added to' the classification^. which will be ready for distribution shortly. Adv. D iff e rent- Albert J.

Robert Maitland. James Armstrong, Maitland's protege, falls in love with her. His persistent wooing thrills the girl, but •he nesitates,- and Armstrong gQes east on business without a definite answer. Enid hears the story of a mining engineer, Newbold', whose wife fell off a cliff and was so eerlously hurt that he was compelled to shoot her to prevent her being eaten by wolves while he went for help. Kirkby, the old guide who tells the •tory, gives Enid a package of letters Which he says were found on the deaa woman's body. She reads the letters and St Klrkby'a request keep* them, while athlng In mountain stream Enid is attacked by a bear, which is mysteriously •hot. A storm adds to the girl's terror. A. sudden deluge transforms brook into raging torrent, which sweeps Enid Into £orge, where she is rescued by a mountain hermit after a thrilling experience. Campers in great confusion upon discovfng Enid's absence when the storm creaks. Maitland and Old Kirkby go in •earch of the girl. Enid discovers that her ankle Is sprained and that she Is unable to walk. Her mysterious rescuer carries her to his camp. Enid goes to eteep in the strange man's bunk. Miner cooks breakfast for Enid, after which they go on tour of inspection. The hermit tells Enid of his unsuccessful attempt to find the Maitland campers. He admits that he is also from Philadelphia, The hermit falls in love with Enid. The man comes to a xeattzation of his love for her, out naturally in that strange solitude tho relations of the girl and her rescuer become unnatural and strained. The stranger tells of a wife he had who is dead, and says he has sworn to ever cherish her memory by living in solitude. He and Enid, however, confess their love for »ach other. She learns that he is the man who killed his wife in the mountain. Enid discovers the writer of the letters [to Newbold's wife to have been James Armstrong. Newbold decides to start to the settlement for help. The man - is packed by the belief- that he is unfaithful to his wife's memory, and Enid Is tempted to tell him of the letters in her pos- Session. Armstrong, accompanied by :irkby and Robert Maitland, find a note that,Newbold had left in the deserted cabin, and know that the girl is in his Keeping. Fate brings all the actors together. C H A P T E R X X . r 1 The Converging Trails. • Whatever the feeling of the others, 'Armstrong found himself unable to Bleep that night. It seemed to him that fate was about to play him the meanest and most fantastic of tricks. Many times before in his crowded life he had loved other women, or so he characterized his feelings, but his passion for Louise Rosser Newbold had been in a class by itself until he had met Enid Maitland. Between the two there had been many women, but these two were the high points, the rest was lowland. Once before, therefore, this Newbold had cut in ahead of him and had won the woman he loved. Armstrong had cherished a hard grudge against him (for a long time. He had not been of ithose who had formed the rescue party led by old Kirkby and Maitland which had.buried the poor woman on the great Butte in the deep canon. Before he got back to the camp the whole affair was over and Newbold had departed. Luckily for him, Armstrong had always thought, for he had been so mad with grief and rage and Jealousy that if he had come across him, helpless or not, he would have killed him out of hand. Armstrong had soon enough forgotten Louise Rosser,' but he had not forgotten Newbold. A l l his ancient animosity had flamed into instant life again, at the sight of his name last night, The inveteracy of his hatred had been in no way abated by the lapse of time, it seemed. Everybody in the mining camp had ' supposed that Newbold had wandered - off and perished in, the mountains, else Armstrong might have pursued him and hunted him down. The sight of his name on that piece of paper was outward and visible evidence that he still lived. It had almost ihe shock of a resurrection, and a resurrection to hatred rather than to love, if Newbold had been alone in the world, If Armstrong had chanced upon him in the solitude, he would have hated him Just as he did, but when he thought that hifr aaoient enemy was with the woman he now loved, with a growing A Intensity beside which his former re* lentment seemed weak and feeble ho ' hated him yet the more. * He could not tell when the notice, which he had examined carefully, was » written; there was no date upon it, hut he could come to only one cqnclu- •Ion. Newbold must have found .Enid •Maitland alone in the mountains very Shortly after her departure, and he had her with him in his. cabin alone for at least a month. Armstrong fritted his teeth at the thought. He did not undervalue the personality Newbold. He had never happened no see him, but he had^ heard enough .about him to understand his qualifies as a man. The tie that bound 'Armstrong to Enid Matt land was a strong one, but the tie by which he beta* her to him, if indeed he held her* at all, was very tenuous and easily broken; perhaps it wag broken already, and so he hated him still more and more.. » i Indeed, his animosity was so great • n i growing that for tho moment he toba no Joy in the assurance of tbe girjis safety; yet he was,not altogether im'Vinfi|{rnias, and* in cafmer moments fr* thavked^God In his otrh rough that the woman he loved was alive and \ well, or had been when the note was written. He rejoiced that she had not been swept away with the flood or that she had not been lost in the mountains and forced to wander on finally to starve and freeze and die. In one moment her nearness caused, his heart to throb with joyful anticipation. The certainty that at the first flush of day he should seek her again sent the warm blood to his cheeks. But those thoughts would be succeeded by the knowledge that she was with his enemy. Was this man to rob him of the latest love as he had robbed him of the first? Perhaps the hardest task that was ever laid upon Armstrong was to lie quietly in his sleeping bag and wait until the morning. So soon as the first indication of dawn showed over the crack of the door, he slipped quietly out of his sleeping bag and without disturbing the others drew on hi3 boots, put on his heavy furcdat and cap and gloves, slung his Winchester and h?s snow shoes over his shoulder, and without stopping for a bite to eat, softly opened the door, stepped out and closed lt after him. It was quite dark in the bottom of the canon, although a few pale gleams overhead indicated the near approach of day. It was quite still, too. There were clouds on the mountain top heavy with threat of wind and snow. The way was not difficult, the direction of it, that is. Nor was the going very difficult at first; the snow was frozen and the crust was strong enough to bear him. He did not need his snow shoes, and, indeed, would have had little chance to use them in the narrow, broken, rocky pass. He had slipped away from the others'because he wanted to be first to see the man and the woman. He did not want any witnesses to that meeting. They would have come on later, of course; but he wanted an hour or two In private with Enid and Newbold without any interruption. His conscience was not clear. Nor could he settle upon a course of action. How much Newbold knew of his former attempt to win away his wife, how much of what he knew he had told Enid Maitland, Armstrong could not surmise. Putting himself into Newbold's place and imagining that the engineer had possessed entire information, he1 decided that he must have told everything to EnAd_,Maitland as soon as he had found out the quasi relation between her and Armstrong. And Armstrong did not believe the woman he loved could be in anybody's presence a month without telling something about him. Still, it was possible that Newbold knew nothing, and that he told nothing therefore. The situation was paralyzing to a man of Armstrong's decided, determined temperament. He could not decide upon the line of conduct he should pursue. His course in this, the most critical emergency he had ever faced, must be determined by circumstances of which he felt with savage resentment he was in some measure the sport. He would have to leavo to chance what ought to be subject to his will. Of only one thing he was sure— he would stop at nothing, murder, lying; nothing, to win the woman^and to settle his score with that man. There was really only one thing he could do, and that was to press on up the canon. He had no idea how far it might be or how long a journey he would have to make before he reached that shelf on the high hill where stood that hut in which she dwelt. As the crow flies, it could not be a great distance, but the canon zigzagged through the mountains with as many curves and angles as a lightning flash. He plodded on, therefore, with furious haste, recklessly, speedi n g over places where a misstep in the snow or a slip on the icy rocks would have meant death or disaster to him. He had gone about an hour, and had perhaps made four miles from the camp when the storm burst upon him. It was now broad day, but the sky was filled with clouds and the air with driving snow. The wind whistled down the canon with terrific force. It was with difficulty that he made any headway at all against tt. It was a local storm; if he could have looked through the snow he would have discovered calmon tbe top of the peak3. It was one of those sudden squalls of wind and snow which rage with terrific force while they last, but whose rage was limited, and whose violent dura* tion would be short. A less determined man than he would have bowed to the inevitable and sought, some shelter behind a rock until, the fury, of the tempest was spent, but there was no storm that blew that could stop this man ?o long as he bad strength to drive against it. So he bent bis head to tbe fierce blast and struggled on. There .'was something titanic and magnificent about tula Iron determination, andt p*p sfatance of Armstrong. The twd most powerful passions which inove humanity were at his service; love led him and hate drove him. And the two were *o intermingled that it was difficult to say which predominated, now one and now the other. The resultant of the two forces, however, was an onward move that would not be denied. His fur coat was soon covered with snow and ice, the sharp needles of the storm cut his face wherever it was exposed. The wind forced its way through his garments and chilled him to the bone. He had eaten nothing since the night before, anfl his vitality was not at its flood, but he pressed on, and there was something grand in his indomitable progress. Excelsior! Back in the hut Kirkby and Maitland sat around the fire waiting most impatiently for the wind to blow itself out and for that snow to stop falling through which Armstrong struggled forward. As he followed the windings of the e&non, not daring to ascend to the summit on either wall and seek short cuts across the range, he was sensible that he was constantly rising. There were many indications to his experienced mind; the decrease in the height cf the surrounding pines, the increasing rarity of the icy air, the growing difficulty in breathing under the sustained exertion he w_as making, the quick throbbing of his accelerated heart, all told him he was approaching his journey's end, He judged that he must now be drawing near the source of the stream, and that he would presently come upon the shelter. He had no means of ascertaining the time. He would not have dared to unbutton his coat to glance at his watch, and it is difficult to measure the flying minutes In such scenes as those through which he passed, but he thought he must have gone at least seven miles in perhaps three hours, which he fancied had elapsed, his progress in tho last two having been frightfully slow. Every foot of advance he had had to flght for. Suddenly a quick turn in the canon, a passage through a narrow entrance between lofty cliffs, and he found himself in a pocket or a circular amphitheater which he could see was closed on the farther side. The bottom of this enclosure or valley was covered with -shelf. A hard trampled path ran bepines, now drooping under tremendous burdens of snow. In the midst of the pines a lakelet was frozen solid; the ice was' covered with the same dazzling carpet of white. He could have seen nothing of this had not the sudden storm now stopped as precipitately almost as it had begun. Indeed, accustomed to the gray* ness of the snow fail, his eyes were fairly dazzled by the bright light of the sun. now quite high over the range, which struck blm^utt-1n the face. * - He stopped, panting, exhausted, and leaned against the rocky wall of the canon's mouth which here rose sheer over his head. This certainly was the end of the trail, the lake was the source of^ the frozen rivulet along whose rocky and torn banks he had tramped since dawn. Here, if anywhere, he would find the object of his quest. Refreshed by a brief pause, and encouraged by the sudden stilling of the storm, he stepped out of the canon and ascended a little knoll whence he had a full view of the pocket over the tops of the pines. Shading his eyes from the light with his hand as besHie could, he slowly swept the circumference with his eager glance, seeing nothing until his eye fell upon a huge broken trail of.,rocks projecting from the snow, indicating the ascent to a broad shelf of the mountains across the lake to the right. Following this he saw a huge block of snow which suggested dimly the outlines of a hut! Was that the place? Was she there? He stared fascinated and as he did so a thin curl of smoke rose above the snow heap and wavered up In the cold, quiet air! That was a human habitation, then. It could be none other than the hut referred to in tho note. Enid Maitland must be there; and Newbold! The lake lay directly in front of him beyond the trees at the foot of the knoll, and between him and the slope that led up to the hut.1 If it had been summer, he would have been compelled to follow the water's edge to the right or to the left; both journeys would have led over difficult trails, with little to choose between them, but the lake was now frozen hard and covered with snow. He had no doubt that the snow would bear him, but to make sure he drew his snow shoes from his. shoulder, slipped his feet t J the straps, and sped straight 0^ through the trees and across it like aa arrow from a bow. In five minutes he was at the foot of the giant stairs. Kicking off bAs snow shoes, he scrambled up the broken way, easily finding in the snow a trail which bad evidently been passed and repassed daily. In a few moments he was at tbe tor) of the vain attempt again to influence the woman who was now the deciding and determining factor, and who seemed to be taking the man's place, Newbold, ready for his journey, had torn himself away from her presence and had plunged down the giant stair. He had done everything that mortal man could da for her comfort; wood enough to last her for two weeks had been taken from the cave and piled in the kitchen and everywhere so as to be easily accessible to her; the stores she already had the run of, and be had fitted a stout bar to the outer door which would render It impregnable to any attack that might be made against it, although he saw no quarter from which any assault impended. Enid had recovered not only her strength, but a good deal of her nerve. That she loved this man and that he loved her had given her courage. She would be fearfully lonely, of course, but not so much afraid as before. The month of immunity in the mountains without any interruptions had dissipated any possible apprehensions on her part. It was with a sinking heart, however, that she saw him go at last. They had been so much together in that month; they had learned what love was. When he came back it would be different, he would not come alone. The first human being ho met would bring the world to the door of the lonely but beloved cabin in the mountains—the world with its questions, its Inference, its suspicious, ita denunciations and its accusatlonsi- Somo kind of an explanation would have to be made, some sort an answer would have to be given, some solution of the problem would have to be arrived at. What these would be she could not tell. Newbold's departure was like tho end of an era to her. The curtain dropped; when it rose again what was to be expected? There was no comfort except in^ tho thought that she loved him. So long as their affections matched^and rjm Jogether J£4§i°Js> else mattere! With the soluTio?Tot it all next to her sadly beating heart she was still ^supremely confident that fove^ or God—and there was not so much difference between them as to make it worth while to mention the one rather than the oilier—would find the way. Their leavo taking had been singularly cold and abrupt. She had realized the danger ho was apt to Incur and she had exacted a reluctant promise from him that he would be careful. "Don't throw your life* away, don't risk it even, remember that it is mine," she had urged. And just a3 simply as she had enjoined it upon him he had promised. He had given his word that he would not send help back to her but that he would bring it back, and she had confidence in that word. A confidence that had he been inclined to break his promise would have made it absolutely impossible. There had been a long clasp of t\yj hands, a long look in the eyes, a long brealh in tho breast, a long throb \n the heart and then*- farewell. They dared no more. QK?. ielSJS.iv kad W t ^ c f $3 8 ¾ had stood upon the plateau and followed his vanishing figure with anxious troubled thought until it had been lost in the depths of tho forest below. She had controlied herself in thi3 second parting for his sake as well as her own. Under the ashes of his grim repression she realized the presence of Jive coals which a breath would have fanned into flame. She dared nothing while he was there, but when he shut tho door behind him the necessity for self-control was removed. She had laid her arms on the table and bowed hsr head upon them and shook and quivered with emotions unrelieved by a single tear—weeping was for lighter hearts and less severe demands! His position after all was the easier of the two. As of old It was tbe man who went forth to the battlefield while the woman could only wait passively the issue of the fight. Although he wa3 half blinded with emotions he had to give some thought to his progress, and there was yet One task to be done before be could set forth upon his journey toward civilization and rescue. It was fortunate, as it turned out, that this obligation detained him. He, was that type of a merciful man whose mercies extended to his beasts. The poor little burros must be attended to and their safety assured so far as It could be, for it would be Impossible for Enid Maitland to care for them. Indeed he had already exacted a promtee from her that she would not leave the plateau and risk her life on the icy stairs with which" she was so unfamiliar. He had gone to the corral and shaken down food enough for them which if it had been doled out to tbem day by day would have lasted longer than the week bo intended to be absent; of course be realised that Uroy would eat tween high wall* of snow to a door! Beutad that door what would he flrtf? Just what he brought to it, love and hate, he fancied. Wo usually find on the other side of doors no more and no less than we bring to our own sides. But whatever was there there was no hesitation to Armstong's course. He ran toward it, laid his hand on the latch, and: opened it. -i What; creatures of habit we are)! Barry in tbat same morning after on* it up in half that time, but even so they would probably suffer not too great discomfort before he got back* All these preparations took some little time. It had grown somewhat late in the morning before he started. There had been a fierce storm raging when he first looked out and at her earnest solicitation he had delayed his departure until it,had subsided. His tasks at the corral were a t last completed; he had done what he could for them both, nothing now remained but to make the quickest and safest way to the settlement. Shouldering the pack containing his axe and gun and sleeping bag and such provision as would serve to tide him over until he reached human habitations, he set forth. He did not look up to the hut, Indeed he could not have seen it for the corral was almost directly beneath it, but if it had been in full view he would not have looked back, be could not trust himself to, every instinct, every impulse in his soul would fain drag him back to that hut and t o the woman. It was only his will and, did he but know lt, her will that made him carry out his purpose. He would have saved perhaps half a mile on his journey if he had gone straight across the lake to tbe mouth of the canon. We are creatures of habit. He had always gone around the lake on the familiar trail and unconsciously he followed that trail that morning. He was thinking of her aa he plodded on in a mechanical way while the trail followed the border of the lake for a time, plunged into the woods, wound among the pines, at least reaching that narrow rift in the encircling wall through which the river flowed. He had paseed along the trail oblivious to all his surroundings, but as he came to the entrance he could not fail to notice what he suddenly saw in the snow. i Robinson Crusoe when he discovered the famous footprint of Man Friday in the sand was not more astonished at what met his vision than Kggbold onthat winter, morn.ing. For there, in The virgin whiteness, were the tracks of a man! Ho stopped ueau with a sudden con-' traction of the heart. Humanity other than he and she in that wilderness? It could not be! For a moment he doubled the evidence of his own senses. He shook his pack loose from his shoulders and bent down to examine the tracks to read if he could their indications. He could see that some one had come up the canon, that someone had leaned against the wall, that some one had gone on. Where had ho gone? To follow tho new trail was child's play for him. He ran by the side of it until he reached the knoll. The stranger had stopped again, he had shifted frcm one foot to another, evidently ho had been looking about him seeking some one, only Enid Maltland of course. The trail ran forward to the edge of the frozen lake, there the man had put on his snow shoes, there he had sped across the lake ljj;e an arrow, and like an arrow himself although he had left behind his own snow s ^ e s ^ l ^ w S o T d " ran upon lils tract. ^mmaTeTy Hie"snow crust up^ bore him. The trail ran straight to the foot of the rocky stairs. The newcomer had easily found his way there. With beating heart and throbbing pulse, Newbold himself bounded up the acclivity after the stranger, marking as he did so evidences of the other's prior ascent. Reaching the top like him he ran down the narrow path and in his turn laid his hand upon the door. He was not mistaken, he beard voices within. He listened a second and then flung It open, and as the other had done, he entered. Way back on the trail, old Kirkby and Robert Maitland, the storm having ceased, were rapidly climbing up the canon. Fate was bringing all the aotors of the little drama within the shadow of her hand. \ <TO B E CONTINUED.! Just a Man!

San Francisco K D O U B T E D L Y the men who first wore buttons advocated matrimony and wished for a wife. The old time bachelor buttons were essential to dignity and comfort and were not mere* ly a tag of eligibility. Mrs. Frank Page, society leader of Cambridge, Mass., blossomed forth and stated that a bachelor button (indicating freedom from matrimonal strife)* should be worn on the coat lapel. I doubt the advisability of tagging the dear boys who enjoy single blessedness. What good would it do ? It would not increase their usefulness, nor add to their popularity. Bachelor ensigns would probably mean, in the •words of the old songs: "I'm Glad I'm Free" or ''Darling, I Am Wait* ing for Thee/' according to the viewpoint. Some financiers say: "Don't tag the bachelors, but tax them/' That is a thieving proposition and only married folks would sanction it. The world needs bachelors—men and women—and they look good and do good without the label. If there must needs be tagging done, I suggest that we tag the married man with a sign so large that "he wh'o runs may read/' I don't think that bachelors pose as married men, but married men often pose as bachelors when seeking their soul mates. Some sympathetic, well intentioned persons might say that a man encumbered or blessed (as the case might be) with a wife and family has tags enough. But is it not reasonable to suppose that any married man could carry the extra weight of a tag or button, bearing the warning: "Girls, I am not free, there are other tags on me/' Put a label on bachelors? Perish the thought. A tag would embarrass those worthy bipeds. Remember this is leap year, and all liberty loving bachelors cherish the inspired words of Patrick Henry: "Give me liberty or give me death/' People Must Live Within Their Means By Lllties Swliiey, Cincinnati, 0. It is well known that many men are.not paid salaries that compensate them for the time they devote to business, yet the' question in this time of strong competition is not how much the position is worth, but to find the best man to fill it at the lowest salary. Nevertheless, when a couple is forced to resort to taking roomers despite a salary of $95 a month there must be a leak somewhere. People of today live in too expensive apartments, many men on this salary paying as high as $40 a month, instead of renting a four or five room stove heated ^at for half that amount, and the difference set aside for homes of their t>wn. Again, our men and women are both clothes and amusement "mad." They crave and want everything new and the best in wearing apparel. Theaters and clubs must be indulged in, and what is the result? These take so much of their salary that the laws of God and nature must be broken and they refuse to bring children into the world. Now, what is the result of this? Ill health and divorce stand out most prominent. Rather than live in less pretentious apartments and wear last season's garments, of course a little old style, in cut, but just as warm tod comfortable, and shut themselves out of society for a season or more, they put out of their lives God's greatest blessing, children. Until our people learn that a salaried man cannot live like a millionaire and that the laws of God and nature must be obeyed this great evil of divorce will not cease.

I never heard such a jumble before. Ralph Herz in "The Charity Girl" gives a fine sample of the railway guard. It is not at all overdrawn. And listen to the voices of young boys. One talks through his nose —"adenoids," comments the doctor. Another overgrown boy pipes in a tiny treble all head tones. Another chops off his words so fast you neyer can tell whether he is saying something or has swallowed a fish bone. The fault lies with the parents and teachers. They should teach children to breathe properly and then insist on clear enunciation. One plainly spoken word is better than a dozen slovenly ones. Boys should be taught the possibilities of their pent up voices. Let them exercise their voices as well as their muscles.

O f t r A T E / T ; fife PiAcr o r m£r MVLTIMlIXIONAlRE/* NEW YORK.—The greatest, most luxurious and complete development of country life that 1B to be found In America is on Long Island. One part, of Long Island particularly surpasses all the rest ln the number and magnificence of its great estates. This is the northern half of Nassau county. The region which extends from Great Neck to Cold Spring Harbor and from the soundsouth nearly to the main line of the Long island railroad contains greater wealth than any portion of the earth'B surface of a similar size outside of a town or city. It is within 30 or 40 minutes of Manhattan by rail. In a well-driven motor car one may pass from one boundary to the other of this section, north or south or east or west, in from 30 to 25 minutes. In this neighborhood more than 200 persons of great wealth have given an expression of their accumulated riches in the largest number" of beautiful country estates in America. A l l this has come about within the last 25 or 80 years. This part of Long Island is of great natural beauty. It has the highest hills, some rising more than 400 feet above the sea. There are several splendid deep water havens without rocks, reefs or shoals, where the largest of steam yachts may lie at anchor. Hempstead, Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbors have been famous since the days of the Indians. The anchorage of the New York Yacht club, in the East river, can be reached from them easily by steam yachts or power boats in from an hour to an hour and a quarter. This region has the greatest mileage of stone roads of any section of equal area in the United States. These country highways have lost nothing of their rustic beauty by being macadamized, and motoring over them is a delight. They are so smooth that the hilly nature of the country offers no impediment to the autoist's enjoyment. In this section also are found the finest trees and the richest soil. A greater variety of plants and trees can be raised to perfection there than anywhere else in America. It i f no wonder, therefore, that not only the very rich have selected this region for their country homes or that those who are kmly fairly well-to-do have been quick to see its advantages and build their houses there. The developers of suburban real estate also have found mis one of their most attractive fields. Select Club Land. This B e c t i o n , too, ls where club life reaches perfection. There are clubs for land sports and clubs for water sports. The Meadow Brook Hunt club ls one of the most famous of the former^ This is the finest fox-hunting regionln America. The Nassau Country club and half a dozen golf clubs cover many acres and afford all the enjoyments of out-of-door life. The Piping Hock Country club ls the largest and newest of aU, and probably is the most magnificently appointed organization of Its kind in the Western Hemisphere, ln addition to these there are fishing clubs, gun clubs, automobile clubs—in fact, a man may find there almost any kind of club for outdoor sports that ne can thinkNOf. The horse shows that are held in tfre^open air every autumn attract a larger attendance from the society folk than the annual event ln Madison Square garden. Mackay Mansion at Roslyn. millionaires. They have none of the trials or worries of money getting. They are concerned more with the en Joyment of life under sunny skies, with every accessory that money can buy. But there are many others who are still busy heaping up their great fortunes still higher. These folk find the same relaxation and rest on their country estates at night and weekends that the small business man does who lives Jn sight of them in his cottage. The season of the greatest social activity in this widespread colony of millionaires is the autumn, but many of the owners of the great estates open their houses i a April and -stay there much of the time until after Thanksgiving. Some spend a few weeks In Europe during the summer, but by early in September there is hardly a house whose family is away. They are all very neighborly. The automobile has moved other splendid places of residence on Long Island close up to this one. It is only an hour or so's motoring from one fine section to another on the south shore or out toward the eastern.end of the island. Nothing is thought of riding 50 miles of an afternoon or evening for a game of bridge or for a dance. Of late years the automobile has become as much a necessity as the horse used to be. Some of these rich residents on Long Island have a dozen motor cars constantly in commission, and a few have as many as 25 or 80. One man is said to own 50. A good many of the dwellers in the- Nassau county district travel back and forth by automobile from their homes to business. Others whose homes are near the Sound, make the trip during the summer months by yacht. Founded by A. T. Stewart The nucleus of this colony of millionaires was near Westbury and dates from the founding of the Meadow Brook club in 1881. As far back as 1266 A. T. Stewart bought 9,- 000 acres of land near Garden City. At that rime his purchase was. regarded as the height of a rich man's folly and the farmers were glad to sell their possessions at from $40 to $60 an acre. Later when the Meadow Brook club became popular, land began to rise, slowly at first, but subsequently with vertiginous rapidity. The original settlers—Quakers for the most part—were slow to sell, but little by little they parted with their homstead farms which were combined and laid out in vast estates for the enjoyment of those who built the palaces that replaced the low-roofed rambling houses. Today $10,000 an acre is asked for many desirable tracts of land in this region. This is especially the case where the land has been allowed to retain all its natural beauty and where the groves of great trees have remained untouched by the ax. mansion is on the top of a wooded hill, 230 feet above the level of the road where it passes the lodge gates. On clear days ships on the ocean can be seen from there, and the nearer, daily panorama of Long Island sound. The big buildings in Manhattan are within view, and at night the lights of Broadway are visible from the housetop. There are ten miles of driveways and four miles of footpaths. The management of the place is as carefully organized as any big business enterprise. There are a number of different departments, each with its head, all under the supervision of a general manager, who reports direct to the owner. An expert accountant comes quarterly and audits the books. Men of Prominence. Here are the names of a few wellknown people who live in this unique colony: Frank L . Babbott, Robert Bacon, Henry L .

There are sleepy old villages that look out upon green, undulating swards like those of Kent or .Devonshire, The houses on the country estates of America's most famous millionaires stand out like white dots on the slopes of green. The towers and turrets of others loom up clear cut against the horizon. The clustered estates practically touch elbows and cover less territory than an ordinary Texas ranch. It is like baronial Europe, only the castles are nearer together. Perfect Country Houses. Some of these country houses—many of them, ln fact—are veritable palaces. Broad avenues overarched by splendid trees lead up to them. Flower-bordered walks give brilliant touches of color to the view. All about are English hedges, with well-trimmed boxes, globes and arches of privet and arbor' vitae. There are parks and plaisances, peacocks and balustrades.

In^ diana. The Bh ell traveled a distanceof between three and four miles and found lodgment ln the side of a rocky hill just behind Morro castle, the charge being unexploded. It now re* poses peacefully on the sidewalk i n front of a store in Carson street, Southside, near Twenty-seventh street, but minus the charge. Thousands of people pass the spot daily, but little or no heed is given by them to this interesting relic of Uncle Sam's encounter with the one-time great power of Spain. The shell was shipped on October 20, 1890, by Capt. Surgeon James Mc- Kay, United States navy, to his father, Stephen McKay, of this city, and is much prized by the latter as a relio> and souvenir. j Capt. McKay gave an interesting de* scription of the circumstances attend* ing the firing and finding of the shell. He states: "The shell was fired from: the Indiana or Texas from a distance of between three or four miles, and it was doubtless fired at the eastern; battery, a concealed battery of several[ old bronze cannon situated in a hol-i low in the bluff, and only visible from several miles at sea. Our ships paidi great attention to this particular b a V tery , from noticing that, while the| muzzles of the cannon were visible^ over the embankment before firing,; they disappeared simultaneously with that operation. Now from the excellent habit drilled into the men of the* navy of overestimating rather than^ doubting the strength of the enemy,j they decided the battery must be com4- posed of modern rifled disappearing! guns, and acted accordingly.v Every now and again, and when the ship* seemed most quiet, one or another would drop a carefully calculated shell in such close proximity as to keep theartillerists working the guns ln a state* of constant terror. This shell, from its position, must have flown over the* guns and men at just sufficient height to clear the ridge and plunge into the* hill beyond. It missed its mark by a very smell margin. However, the hundreds of holes, some large enough tc* form a cellar for a large dwelling, scattered all about and within the battery, the dismounted, crippled and half-burled pieces, and the general wreck made of nature in the entirevicinity, speak only too eloquently o r the excellent marksmanship of our gunners, and the splendid conduct o r our ships In general. "When Admiral Sampson visited the' above-mentioned battery some month* after the surrender, he smilingly told how they had been fooled by tho strange disappearing qualities of the* old guns. Many of thes old piece* dated back to 1718 and were masse* of most wonderful and beautiful hand carving, but the gun carriages werenot more than 100 years old, hence the parts did not fit and the recoil mechanism (great buffer springs) being, useless the piece on being discharged would bound back into the air t h * full length of the carriage (15 feet). The muzzles were visible over t h * cement before firing, but their rebound flight carried them far out of sight, hence the disappearing gun* which deceived our men for a while.1* The shell, singular to relate, show* but slight marks of its impact with its rocky billet, another proof of t h * care wifh which American projectile* h are fashioned.—Pittsburgh Dispatch.

In the course of the conversation, Lee turned to Meade, who (had been associated ? with nlm as his {officer of engineers in* the "old army," rand said, pleasantly: "Meade, years are telling on you* Your hair is getting quite gray."

Olode 11 When the invitations to Emily Cruger's wedding at her father's country place on the Hudson arrived, every one knew what was going to happen— and it did happen: Horses were unharnessed, motor* cars were ordered back into their garages, and we went up i n the day coaches Qf a railroad special with a flurry of snow driving against the windows. We were met at the little station shed by a row of closed carriages, Jotted off to a village church and packed Into tight little pews. Xbere, if one were really an old and dear friend of the family and had known the bride since she was a tow-headed little girl i n fluffy frocks, he berated old General Cruger as though he were a pickpocket, vilified Emily and damned the Institution of marriage. Then we were whisked away in the snow-covered^ carriages to Cliffcourt and luncheon. Bu.*,. first, we piled our rubbers in kuteroozn by the porte-coikere, passed i n review before the old general, kissed the tips of Emily's gloved fingers, quoted to the groom the appropriate remark of Solomon, and then girded our loins to fight for a place by the General's fleshpots. Fortune sat me down at luncheon opposite, a man at whom I was very glad to have a look. Vague whisperings had linked his name with Emily Cruger's for many a long day. He had proceeded with his plans to win her with the deliberation of a Japanese leld marshal. But women are not to be taken with l chain of forts. The man was carrying on his Jfcca t courteous unconcern, but t!*? enamel >f it was set over savage lines. Gossip had it that his plans for the hotising of this wife were already carried out; the land for a mile farther up the Hudson had become the splendid, formal gardens of a French estate, the rising walls of the chateau loomed, a line of gray, on the bluff above the river. The great Oriental was making ready while he waited. I had no opportunity to speak with him. Mrs. Chenley Gaynor, with a niece on the block, hadV him at ber right. The practical old dowager was n every slave-market. Any mother would have feared so dangerous a man, but not so Mrs. Chenley Gaynor. This freebooter was the richest on the seas, he had sacks of doubloons packed to the gunwale of bis brig. What mattered it if the •dearest illusion of, a maid walked the plank with two gold pieces bound tight over its eyelids, provided one pot a ocuntry estate, a town house ind perhaps a'yacht? Mammon was the only god who was never sleeping or on a journey. The man hovered a' bit about the debutante, praising ber charms, but he did not want her, that was clear. He nursed a hurt with his hand on his cutlass. I was glad that the old general was Independent and the man Emily Cruger had chosen well enough to do. This brown wolf would be a fearful beaBt, prowling at one's door. We depleted the larder to its last pate, got into our rubbers and proseeded to embark in our covered carriages. We trod upon one another's toes, jammed our elbows into our neighbors, and apologized sweetly for it; but underneath, I fear, we were rarenlng wolves. The tragedy of a country wedding in a May blizzard, twenty miles from New York! ^ The women all had been carted &way, and I was entering a carriage After the last man when a servant ran out and said the general greatly wishid me to remain. The servant took me to a guest chambut I await the destiny of the helpless old grandmother." He reached out his arm, moved some papers on the library table, uncovering a legal document i n its blue, stiff wrapper. "I have got to sign this for him," he went on, "and then blow on my fingers to warm them I suppose. The place here is deeded to Emily, and this property is all I have left." He took up the paper and handed it over to me. I read it carefully through. It was a first mortgage on certain coal lands and mines of the Pittsburg vein in what is known as the Fairmont region, securing a twohundred- thousand-dollar issue of bonds. It was made by the Cruger Coal company to the Exingtun Trust company as trustee. " Y C A see, Courtlandt," the old gen- *V.iuan went on by way of explanation, "I am the Cruger Coal company —president and all, with a few friendly dummies to make the corporation valid. I owe this wolf two hundred thousand dollars. He agrees to take the bond issue for the debt. He might? as well take a deed for the property. It is worth perhaps forty thousand dollars more than that; but he will get it in the end for the debt. A deed direct to him would be a little bold just now, a bit like exacting smart money, punitive damages for the loss of Emily." He leaned over, got a little flaming twig from the fire, and relighted his burned-out cigar with it. Then he went oa. "There is a fragment of unbelieveable history about that debt, Courtlandt, manufactured with the greatest care by this wolf. Three years ago, when I knew only the exterior of the man, he came to me and said that the Midland and Tidewater railroad wished to borrow about half a million dollars, and that 'he was exceedingly anxious to assist it to obtain the money; that the banks in New York were short because of the recent January payment of dividends, but be was advised that the Granite Mountain Insurance Company at Montpelier had a lot of 'idle money. He was not acquainted with tho officers of this company, but some one had told him that I was born i n Montpelier and that my cousin, Senator Lap man, was president of the company. Perhaps I would give him a letter of Introduction. I gave him a letter, saying that be was known to me and tbat he was a man of large financial relations, in fact, a rather friendly letter. ''Business in New England 1» on a rather higher plane t&»u one finds it here. On*'* goes further. W^hen one's lather and grandfather are known, the value of what one says is also known. Well, this wolf took his railroad man up there, presented his letter and got the loan for him, pledging h?£ word for the soundness of the securities and, by strong inferenqe, pledging my word too. The insurance company paid out four hundred thousand dollars, and took the bonds of the railroad for one half-million of dollars. "Three months later the railroad went into the hands of a receiver, was spjd, brought merely the value of the receiver's certificates, which the court had issued to cover its operating expenses, and the bonds were, of course, worthless. "Senator Lapman came to me, and I went at once to the wolf. I told him that the Granite mountain officials had relied on his word and mine, that he had guaranteed the security in person before the board, and i t must now be made* good. He replied that I was ber where I found a glass of whisky, | Quite right, he would make i t wholly '"«5 i hot bath and a dinner jacket Meanwhile night descended and I Joined the old general below stairs.

"Emily loves this place" he said; "I am glad X saved it to her; but it was like the story in the Russian fairy book, I tossed the wolf everything Jsise for If * Then he came back to the fire and sat down in his leather chair with bis feet stretched out to the fender. •T will keep your name" 'wolf/ Court- ' landt," he said; " f like it better than , the one hia father gave him. 1 am jglad Emily Is well out of his way, God bless her.

He asked me to wait while he went across the street to his bank. In a few moments he returned, said the bank would loan him the money on his personal note, but that, to keep within its rules, the note would require two names' on i t He could put his office boy on, be said, but If I would indorse it, the transaction would appear rather better. "I knew that he was perfectly good for that sum, as good as the sub-treasury, and I at once said that I would comply with his request.. "We went together to the bank, an officer made out a note, he signed i t and passed i t to me. I noticed that l t was i n the form of a Joint note; but interest on our note for several years, that he had used his good offices with the bank to get a l l the time for me that he could, that the bank refused to carry the paper any longer and we must arrange to pay it. In the greatest surprise I recalled the occurrence' to his ntemory In minute detail. He replied composedly that I was -quite mistaken, he was no more responsible -to-tfee'^ neither of us had been legally bound, but both had felt morally obliged to make good the loss, and so u joint note had been executed and the money paid to me. I surely remembered that. "I turned around without another word and went to my solicitor. He examined the note at the bank, questioned/ the cashier, and advised me that the bank would certainly sue on the note and that I should have to pay my half of it. I was horriWy disturbed. I did not know where to get two hundred thousand dollars. Everything I possessed would hardly bring that sum jinder the hammer, besides I wanted to give this place to Emily. In this dilemma the bank again notified me that the note would be reduced to judgment if not paid within thirty days, but added'that if I would execute a mortgage^gn^ my coal property, of which it seems to have had an exact statement, lt could place the bonds for my share of the note, and, as the wolf stood ready to pay his share i n cash, the matter could be settled: I agreed to this plan because it left me free to convey this place to Emily for her marriage portion. I have since learned that this wolf, Myron Gates, takes these bonds." The old man paused a moment, removed his eyeglasses and laid them on the table, then he went on, "I have also learned that the whole thing, from its inception, was a plan of Gates to get me into his power. He, ln fact, owned the worthless securities which were transferred to the Granite Mountain Insurance company. He it was who got the four hundred... thousand dollars; he it was who directed the bank to make out a joint note while I waited for him in his ofllce; the delivery of the cash to me was a part of the scheme, that the officers of the bank could testify that the loan was for me. He got the two hundred thousand dollars which I must pay back to the bank." He arose and began to walk up and down the library. "There was a time," he continuedT""when one could call out such a creature and make him stand up before a pistol for an act like this. The custom had its value, which we forget now. When bloodletting was the penalty, sneaking cads kept their tongues tucked back of their teeth and their fingers but of other men's pockets. The law has disarmed the gentlemen; but left the viper his fangs. You are wondering now, Courtlandt, why this man was here at the wedding luncheon; but Emily knows nothing of all this." "Now, my dear wedding guest," he said, smiling over the whisky, "I am VP to the point where 'the Bhip went down like lead,' and am come to the explanation of your marooning. I have no source of income now but an inadequate little pension. I cannot live on it anywhere in America without my poverty being patent to Emily and her friends. I must get out of the country. I have thought about some little village in Southern France where one could have, at slight cost the necessities of life, a servant and sunshine. I remembered that you had been over there for some time witb Randolph Mason, and would know about it." "General Cruger," I said, "before we discuss exile, let us see if Myron Gates cannot be got at i n some way. The wolf might be forced to disgorge this money; perhaps we could find a way to scorch him somewhere with a firebrand. It seems to me a duty of a rather superior sort to pour a pot of pitch on the head of such a devil's, imp." He shook his head somewhat hopelessly at that. "Do not get a wrong impression of me, Courtlandt" he said, "I should like to pack coals under the beast if I could, I do not fear him. I have no refinements of false conscience against meeting his treachery with steel traps set in the leaves of bis den, but even the discussion of such a thing is idle. I have gone over it more than once with the best attorneys in the city, and they saw% no hope in a suit It would be my word against his; but to support his word would be my letter of introduction, the joint note, the evidence of the bank officers that the money was paid to me personally—these things would convince a jury of candlestickmakers and the like. One firm of lawyers on upper Nassau thought I was lying even to them about i t " "But, General," I said, "Randolph Mason is not the usual practitioner of New York.

"What then?" he repeated, wtth the same indplent indifference. 1 "Why, then, there will be another day tomorrow," And he went out of the room and' up to his bedchamber, where the silent Pietro made ready for his eccentric master. I had a long talk that night with Pietro. He had . a cousin in Polianno, a village about a league from Genoa, where the Mediterranean makes a little sunny pocket. The place, he thought, ran with General Cruger's dream of the Riviera, the bay was paved with topaz, the far-off back of the sea wine-red, as in the days of Homer, the air soft as down—only the natives were not to be desired. They were picturesque enough for a theatric eye, but they were very dirty, very stout liars, and all sons of the forty thieves. H i s cousin, Guido, was no better than the worst of them, but he kept a very comfortable inn, if the fleas in it were only dead. His wife, Gabriella, had once been in the service of the old Marquis Ferretti at Genoa and knew how to serve a gentleman. Pietro would write to this cousin and drive a bargain for every detail of General Cruger's needs. There was no comfort to be had from waiting, so I picked up a map, a Baedecker, some current fiction on Italy, and, taking the evil-fated mortgage in my pocket, went to Cliffcourt the next evening. I almost cried when I saw General Cruger, his face was so greatly troubled. He looked white and feeble, an old man in two days. He tried to make a little genial talk at dinner, and get back into his old cheery self. But it was an effort he gave up presently with a rather bitter smile. "Mr. Parks," he said, when we were again in the library, "Victor Hugo once said that bad fortune always grew worse, and pretended it a quotation from the Sybilline bopks. He believed that Destiny, when it seized a man, always hurried him from one disaster to another until it flung him, finally, into the grave. The first blow was not always the one to be wept over. It was the second, the third, that he feared. Well, here is the second." He took up a letter from the mantel and drew out the sheets as though he would read it to me; then he sat down in his chair still holding the sheets in his fingers. "I got this letter yesterday from Emily. It was written from the St. Louis as she went out to sea, and brought in by the pilot." He stopped a moment and sat staring into the fire, as if caught by some vagrant memory. Then he read the letter. It was a. happy letter, charmingly put, full of tenderness for the old father in his lonely house, carrying little directions to him, little messages which he should deliver, little duties he must perform. He folded the letter and laid it on the table. Then he spoke with the distinctness of one going firmly to his ruin. Italy was now out of the question; he must remain and get employment somewhere. But, first, this business with the bank must be concluded. He would go up to the city with me in the morning, execute the mortgage and take up the note. He did not ask me about my conference with Randolph Mason, and so I was spared the recital of that failure. When the candles burned down, I slept again in the guest-chamber above the l i - brary, but no aid came through the gate of dreams. Hope had abandoned this derelict to the seas. We went into the wolf's bank at ten o'clock the next morning. General Cruger executed the mortgage, and a notary of the bank filled in the prepared acknowledgment below his signature. The bonds were delivered to the secretary of Myron Gates, the money paid by him to General Cruger, who delivered the cash to the bank and got the note stamped "Paid." Then, when the transaction was concluded, we had luncheon at a club and I returned to lower Broadway after having promised General Cruger to meet him for dinner at the Holland. When I entered the house, Randolph Mason was coming down the stairway. He Inquired what business had taken up the morning, and I told him, as bitterly as I could, the sequel to my other story. General Cruger was now penniless, Myron Gates had boarded his galleon and sailed away with Its cargo without a shot at his black flag or the hack of a cutlass on his gunwales. He was over tbe horizon with his loot, the thing was ended. "Nothing is ended," said Mason, "until lt arrives at its adjustment* "Then," I said, "this is a case for the Court of Final Equity, if it ever sits." "It is a case for me," he said. I looked at him in wonder. " A case for you?" I echoed. "You said 'Execute the mortgage and let the man pay the bank/ " "I did," he replied. "You have followed that direction, I believe." I did not understand. ; "We followed the inevitable," I answered him. "It was the only thing to do. You recognized that yourself." Vlt was the right thing to do," he said; "but not the only thing." "Why, Mr. Mason," I said, "I asked you 'What then?* and you said there would be another day tomorrow*" . "It is here," he answered. "Each ttay to Ha own events. Tbe foe* ccuv, fuse* his assistant with* multRud* of directions. This is to be done now: You will at once hold a meeting of the Cruger Coal company under a call signed by all tbe members of the company, and as provided by law. Prepare the record of the company in proper form, authorize a mortgage on all the property of the company to the London Trust company of this city as trustee to, secure a loan of two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. These mines, I discover, are easily worth that sum, including the earnings for one year. Some foreign clients of the banking house of Hurst & Solmeyer will pay i n cash two hundred thousand dollars for these bonds upon the execution of the mortgage. Let General Cruger take that Bum and hide it somewhere in Europe under his daughter's apron. Bring me the mortgage when it is ready to be signed." In the face of all my experience of Randolph Mason, I hazarded an objection. "But," I said, "the first mortgage is executed. Do you mean that this property is worth enough to secure another mortgage?" "No," he answered, "I have Just said that these minea are worth two hundred and twenty thousand dollars." "Then," I said, "you mean this loss to fall on Hurst & Solmeyer?" "No," he said, "Hurst & Solmeyer will make twenty thousand dollars." "Surely," I said, "you do not mean to date this mortgage before the other one, do you? No notary could be got to certify an incorrect date." He looked at me a moment. "Parks," he said* "I fear that you are beginning to be a foci." Then he came down the steps and went Into his private office. ^Thls light breaking suddenly on a supposedly hopeless darkness, confused me, or else I had not put useless questions to Randolph Mason. I .should have known better. Mason's words were never idle, nor were his plans visionary and barren, whether he bid one do a little or a great thing. The story of Naaman and the Prophet was convincing precedent. I did not understand these new instructions and could not point ouftheir intent to General Cruger, but I knew that a pit was being digged for Myron Gates, and that was light enough. I explained all this frankly to the old man that evening after dinner at the Holland. I urged him with the logic of the Syrian's servants. If Randolph Mason had bid us build a great, looming trap for the wolf, we should have done it. How much rather then this easy thing which he suggested! I did not comprehend, any more than he, hew it could r**ult as Mason said it would. It would take, in my opinion, words and passes, charmed amulets and the laying on of hands to induce any bankers to advance money on a second mortgage when the property involved wjis" worth scarcely the value of the fifst. Still, Randolph Mason said the bankers would pay over the money, and he knew. I would pledge my life on that. I was aware, too, that Solmeyer believed in Mason as the Maid of Israel did in Elisha, and that the firm had made a fortune of six figures through that faith. I had my way about it in the end. The meeting of the Cruger Coal company was held, the record correctly made, the bonds authorized, and the mortgage prepared in every detail as the law required it. I took it to Randolph Mason when the scrivener had finished. He examined it carefully, called in a notary, dictated the cer« tificate, bad the signatures properly affixed, and sent me with it to the bankers. They took It with the bonds and handed General Cruger a draft on the Rothschilds in Paris for two hundred thousand dollars. I walked uptown with the bewildered old man to his club. He was silent for a block of the way, dazed by this incredible fortune. Finally, he put his hand on my arm. "My dear friend," he said, "I seem to be quite awake, and yet this event is after the manner of dreams or the illusion of some Oriental drug." He went on slowly a little farther up Broadway. Then he stopped as though taken with a sudden resolution. and I take it that he has sent you to see if we, ourselves, understand4t" Then he pulled out the drawer of the table and laid before me the mortgage, a copy of the one executed fdr Myron Gates, a report of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, and a copy of the Acts of it£ Legislature. Each volume was marked with a slip of paper. The banker opened first the volume of Acts. "You will observe," he said, "that the old form of acknowledgment jfor corporations was changed by this act, and a new form given, i n which the president of the corporation must cer/j tify under oath that he is such oflicer, and authorized to execute such a par per. Now, the scrivener who drew the GateB mortgage used the old form of acknowledgment as be found it in the form books, while our mortgage, you will notice, is executed under the new form of acknowledgment," "Well," I said, "what important effect can that have? The Gates mortgage is in proper form, there is only a mistake in the certificate of acknowledgment. That does not invalidate the mortgage, nor affect the validity of the bonds." For answer the banker opened the volume of reports, and passed it across the table to me, his finger marking the page. It was a decision of the Court of Last Resort in the state where the mortgaged property was situated, holding that such a mortgage, certified under the old form of acknowledgment, could not be admitted to record so as to create a lien on the property, that such an acknowledgment was void, and that spreading such a mortgage, so acknowledged, on the county records did not make it a recorded lien. The matter was now clear. The Gatej mortgage was not a lien. Gates was only a general creditor. The first and only Hen on these coal properties was this last mortgage, which was properly acknowledged, and could be admitted to record. The estate pledged was worth merely the amount of the last mortgage. When it was foreclosed, as it doubtless would be, Hurst & Solmeyer's clients, the innocent for. eign holders of the really secured bonds, would be paid in full. Myron Gates would come in after them as a general creditor, but there would be no assets with which to pay his debt. Hia bonds were, therefore, worthless, his debt worthless. The bank had been paid in cash, the note liquidated; thus the bank was not affected. Hurst & Solmeyer would make twenty thousand dollars. Myron Gates was the only one upon whom the loss would fall. He would be out two hundred thousand dollars. I understood now why Randolph Ma* son had merely said, "Let the man execute tbis mortgage and pay the bank." When he had looked at the legal paper he had instantly seen the old form of acknowledgment and knew that it was void. Myron Gate's draftsman had worked his undoing. It was necessary only to get the money from Gates and pay the note at the bank, so that this valid debt would be liquidated with cash and the bank eliminated from the problem, then create a proper lien to a second creditor and leave Gates to whistle for his money. The case was simple, eminently practicable, impossible of failure. Myron Gates had set his own trap, digged his own p i t His trap had crushed him, his pit received him, the score was set* tied with him to the last cent. I saw, also, why Randolph Mason wished to keep the explanation confined to the fewest possible persons. He did not wish Gates to discover the defect in his mortgage until he at* tempted to foreclose it, after the first default in the payment of the interest on his bonds, one year after the execution of the mortgage. It would then be too late for any proceedings in insolvency to affect the second mortgage. So he had left the solution a mystery, even to me, and enjoined Hurst & Solmeyer to secrecy. Myron Gates would rest easy until he began to foreclose, some months, perhaps, after the end of the year. Then he would awake to find his mortgage smoke under him, his bonds rags, his debt vanished. son directed me to go to, Europe and hide this money in my daughter's apron. I will go tomorrow on the Baltic. Come down to the ship at eleven and explain this miracle to me. I will run up home now for the luggage." Then he took a car to bis train and I returned to the banking house of Hurst & Solmeyer. I, also, wished an explanation. I walked straight through tbe building to the private office of the elder banker, and sat down before bim at his table: "Solmeyer," I said, "were you sure that tbe brick which you have just bought is gold?" The old man smiled and stroked his long, patriarchal beard. "Yes, Mr. Parks," he said, "tbis one is gold, Gates got the brass one." "Impossible," I replied. "Myron Gates got a mortgage prepared by his own scrivener for the full value of this property. His security is prior to yours. How could bis brick be brasB?" The old man's black eyes twinkled in their deep sockets. "Mr. Parks," he said, "you do not know the Prophets. Is i t not written 'Whoso causeth the righteous to -go astray i n an evil way shall fall himself into his own pit?'" "The quotation is hopeful," I said, "but into what pit did Myron Gates fall?" s • / The old banker looked me searching* ly in the face.

The old man was thrilling like a boy over his anticipated plan. He would join Emily in Paris, they would spin through tbe great Alps to the Italian lakes and return along tbe Riviera to Marseilles; but they should live a week, not a day less than a whole week, with Guido at Polianno in the teetb of the fleas, and he would make no bargain with Guido, tbe Italian should rob him like a brigand of tbe first order.

The Judge Takes Charge. All work ou the plantation had stopped, and the hundreds of slaves— men, women and children—were gath. ered about the house. Among these moved tbe members of the dominant race. The judge would have attached himself to the first group, but he jheard a whispered question, and the answer: , "Miss Malroy's lawyer." Clearly it was not for him to mix with these outsiders, these curiosity seekers. He crossed the lawn to the house, and mounted the steps. In the doorway was big Steve, while groups of men stood about in the hall, the hum of busy*purposeless talk pervading the place. The Judge frowned. This was all wrong. "Mas Mr. Ware returned from Memphis?" he asked of Steve. "No, sah; not yet." "Then show me into the library," said the Judge with bland authority, surrendering his hat to the butler. "Come along, Mahaffy!" he added, They entered the library, and the iudgo motioned Steve to close the door. ' "Now, boy, you'll kindly ask those people to withdraw—you may say it is Judge Price's orders. Allow no one to enter the house unless they havo business with me, or as 1 send for them—you understand? After you have cleared the house, you may bring me a decanter of corn whisky— stop a bit—you may ask the sheriff to step here." "Yes, sah." And Steve withdrew. The judge drew an easy-chair up to the flat-topped desk that stood in tho center* of the room, and seated himself. ?' "Are you gning to make this the excuse for another drunk, Price? If so, 1 feel the greatest contempt for you," said Mahaffy sternly. The Judge winced at this. "You have made a regrettable choice of words, Solomon/' he urged gently. "Where's your feeling for the boy?" "Here!" said the judge, with an eloquent gesture, resting hia baud on bis heart. "If you let whisky alone, I'll believe you; otherwise what I have said must stand." The door opened, and the sheriff slouched into tbe room. He was chew teg a long wheat straw, and his whole appearance waa tne ef troubled weak- Bees. "Morning," he said briefly. "SlCvdown, sherthyvand the Jurtg* Indicated a meek seat for tbe official distant corner. "Have you learned asked.

Outside it was noised about that Judge 'Price had taken matters in hand—he was the old fellow who had been warned to keep his mouth shut, and who had never stopped talking since. A crowd collected beyond tbe library windows and feasted its eyes on the back of this hero's bald head. One by one the house servants were ushered into the judge's presence. First he interrogated little Steve, who had gone to Miss Betty's door that morning to rouse her, as was his custom. Next he examined Betty's maid; then the cook, and various house servants, who had nothing especial to toll, but told it at considerable length; and lastly big Steve. "Stop a bit," the judge suddenly interrupted the butler in the midst of his narrative. "Does the overseer always come up to the house the first thing in the morning?" "Why, not exactly, sah, but he come up this mo'ning, sah. He was talking to me at the back cf the house, when the women run out with the word that Missy was done gone away." "He Joined in the search?" "Yes, sah." "When was Miss Malroy seen last?" asked the Judge. "She and the young gemman you fotched beah were seen ln the gyarden along about sundown. I seen them myself." "They had had supper?" "Yes, sah." "Who sleeps here?" "Just little Steve and three of the women; they sleeps at the back of the house, sah." "No sounds were heard during the night?" "No, sah." from the room and the judge dismissed the servants. "Well, what do you think, Price?" asked Mahaffy anxiously when they were alone. "Rubbish! Take my word for itt Solomon, this blow is leveled at me. I have been too forward ln my attempts to suppress tbe carnival of crime that Is raging through west Tennessee. You'll observe that Miss Malroy disappeared at a moment when the public is disposed to think she has retained me as her legal adviser; probably she will be set at liberty when she agrees to drop the matter of Norton's murder. As for the boy, they'll use him to compel my silence and inaction." The Judge took a long breath. "Yet there remains one point where the boy is concerned that completely baffles me. If we knew just a little more of his antecedents it might cause me to make a startling and radical move." Mahaffy was clearly not impressed by the vague generalities ln which the judge was dealing. "There you go, Price, as usual, trying to convince yourself that you are the center of everything!" he B a i d , in a tone ot much exasperation. "Let's get down to business! What does this man Hicks mean by hinting at suicide? You saw Miss Malroy yesterday?" "You have put your finger on a point of some significance," said the Judge. "She bore evidence of the shock and loss she had sustained; aside from that she was Quite as she has always been." "Well, what do you want to see Hicks for? What do you expect to learn from him?" "I don't like his insistence on the idea that Miss Malroy is mentally unbalanced. It's a question of some "Hicks Says Miss Malroy's Been Acting Queer Since Charley Norton Was Shot." "I'll see the overseer—what's his name?—Hicks? Suppose you go for him!" said the judge, addressing the sheriff. The sheriff was gone from the room only a few moments, and returned with the information that Hicks was down at the bayou, which was to be dragged. "Why?" inquired the judge. "Hicks says Miss Malroy's been act. .Ing mighty queer ever since Charley Norton was shot—distracted like! He says he noticed it, and that/ Tom Ware noticed i t " "How does be explain the boy's disappearance?" "He reckons she thro wed herself in, and the boy tried to drag per out, like he naturally would; and 'got drawed In/' "Humph! I'll trouble Mr. Hicks to step here," said the judge quietly. "There's Mr. Carrlngton and a couple of strangers outside who've been asking about Misa Malroy and tl^e boy; eeems like the \strangers knowed her and bim back fonder la NoHh Carolina/' 8aW the aner\ff aa he 'u rued away. "I'll seo tnem.M The s h t r i * waat delicacy—the law, sir, fully recognizes that. It seems to me he is overanxious to account for her disappearance in /a manner that can compromise no one." C H A P T E R XXIII. The Judgo Finds Allies. They were interrupted by the opening of the door, and big Steve admitted Carrlngton and the two men of whom tbe sheriff bad spoken. " A shocking condition of affairs* Mr. Carrlngton!" said tbe judge by way of greeting. "Yes," Bald Carrlngton'shortly. "You left these parts some time ago* I believe?'' continued the judge. "The day before Norton was shot. I had started home for Kentucky. 1 beard of his death when I reached Randolph on the second bluff," ex* plained Carrlngton, from whose cheeks the weather-beaten bloom had faded. He rested his hand on the edge of tho desk and turned to the men who had followed him into the room. "This is the gentleman you wish to see" he said, and stepped to one of the windows; it overlooked t$e terraces j where he had said gcod-by to Betty scarcely a week before. The two men had paused by the door. They now advanced. One waa gaunt and haggard, his face disfigured by a great red scar; the other was a shock-headed Individual who moved with a shambling gait. Both carried rifles and both were dressed ln coarse) homespun. "Morning, sir," said the man wren the scar. "Yancy's my name, and this gentleman 'lows he'd ratber be known now as Mr. Cavendish." The Judge started to his feet "Bob Yancy?" he cried. "Yes, sir, that's me." The Jucrge passed nimbly around the desk and shook the Scratch HlUer warmly by the hand. "Where's my nevvy, sir?— what's ail this about him and Miss Betty?" Yancy's soft drawl was suddenly eager. "Please God we'll recover him soon!" said the judge. By the window Carrlngton moved Impatiently. No harm could come to the boy, but Betty—a shudder went through him. "They've stolen him." Yancy spoke with conviction. "I reckon they've started back to No'th Carolina with him—only that don't explain what's come of Miss Betty, does it?" and he dropped rather helplessly into a chair. "Bob are Just getting off a sick bed^ He's been powerful porely in consequence of having his head laid open and then being throwed Into 'the K!lk river, where I fished him out," explained .Cavendish, who still continued to regard the Judge with unmixed astonishment, first cocking his shaggy head on one side and then oh the other, his bleached eyes narrowed to a slit. Now and then he favored the austere Mahaffy with a fleeting glance. He seemed intuitively to understand the comradeship of their degradation. "Mr. Cavendish fetched me here on his raft. We tied up to the sho' this morning. It was there we met Mr. Carrlngton—I'd knowed him slightly back yonder in No'th Carolina," continued Yancy. "He said I'd find Hannibal with you. I was counting a heap' on seeing my nevvy." Carrlngton, no longer able to control himself, swung about on his heel. "What's been done?" he asked, with fierce repression. "What's going to be done? Don't you know that every second is precious?" "I am about to conclude my investigations, sir," said the Judge with dignity. Carrlngton stepped to the door. After all, what was there to expect of these men? Whatever their Interest, it was plainly centered in the boy. He passed out into the hall. As the door closed on him the Judge turned again to the Scratch Hlller. "Mr. Yancy, Mr. Mahaffy and I hold your nephew,in the tenderest regard; he has been our constant companion ever since you were lost to him. In this crisis you may rely upon us; we are committed to his recovery, no matter what it involves " The judge's tone was one of unalterable resolution^ "I reckon you-ail havo been mighty good and kind to him," said Yancy huskily. "We have endeavored to be, Mr. Yancy—indeecLI had formed the resolution legally to adopt him should you not come to claim him. I should have given him my name, and made him my heir. Hl3 education has already begun under my supervision^" and the Judge, fememoering the high use to which he had dedicated one of Pegloe's trade labels, fairly glowed with philanthropic fervor. "Think of that!" murmured Yancy softly. He was deeply moved. So was Mr. Cavendish, who was gifted with a wealth of ready sympathy. He thrust out a hardened hand to the judge. "Shake!" he said. "You're a heap better than you look." A thin ripple of laughter escaped Mahaffy, but the judge accepted Chills and Fever's proffered hand. He understood that here was a simple genuine soul. "Price, Isn't it Important for us to know why Mr. Yancy thinks the boy bas been taken back to North Caro Una?" said Mahaffy, "Just what kin is Hannibal to you, Mr. Yancy?" asked the judge resuming his seat. . "Strictly speaking, he ain't none. That he come, to live with me la all owing to Mr. Crenshaw, who's a good man when left to himself, but he's got a wife, so a body may say he never is left"to himself," began Yancy; and then briefly he told the story of the woman and the child much as he had told lt to Bladen at the Barony the day of General Quintard's funeral. The judge, his back to the light and his face in shadow, rested hia left bow on tbe desk and with hie chia sunk In his palm, followed the Scratci Hitter's nariativ* with the closest t$» tension* , , , 0 (TO Bis CONTINUED.) DREAMS PROTECT OUR SLEEP Reasonable Explanation of ^Events W h i c h Have Been a Puzzle to ' the Minds, of Students. Dreams seem a mere play of imagination without any v.alue—the more as every serious student has recognised that it is absurd to think that dreams havo any prophetic character. But, in recent times, science has discovered the probable purpose of the dreams, and has found in this case again that nature does not give to us anything which is superfluous. In the present view. of science, dreams fulfill the purpose of protecting our sleep, and this end is reached by those apparently meaningless flights of tho imagination. Most dreams start from some disturbance or excitement of our organism. Something may press on us, or touch us, or we may hear a sound, or we may have some digestive trouble, or we may lie in an uncomfortable position, and so on. Any such disturbance would excite the mind and would easily lead to a breaking up of the sleep which is necessary for us in order to be fresh for the next day's work. The dream provides the solution. In creating a fantastic background for that disturbance, by which the inner excitement becomes adapted to a whole situation in which it fits well, our efforts to remove it becomes sidetracked and the sleep can go on without interruption. We may have thrown off a blanket and feel cold. Our dream brings us to a snowy winter landscape in the midst of the cold winter day, where we begin to skate, and all the coldness is then so natural and well adjusted to the whole illusory experience that our mind moves on without destroying the sleep.—From St. Nicholas. Cleaning a Rusty Rifle. It is an easy matter to clean a rusty rifle barrel, but when the rust has pitted the metal to any depth, the accuracy of the rifle i3 destroyed. When the rust is very thick saturate the'inside of the barrel with coal oil, and allow it to soak well in for an hour or more. When the rust has softened somewhat wrap some tow around the ramfod, and pour enough coal oil upon it to thoroughly moisten it, and push in a rotary manner through the barrel and back a dozen times. When the tow gets very dirty renew it and continuo the process until the coarser portion of the rust has been removed. A round brush of stiff bristles is next fixed to the ram-rod, moistened thoroughly with the oil, and twisted into a barrel, running it back and forth at least a dozen times, thus loosening the dirt that has been more firmly attached to it. The first operation is now repeated, except that the tow on the ramrod is left dry, and the rubbing with this must be continued in all directions as long as it comes out foiled. The use of wire brushes is objectionable for cleaning guns, as the numerous steel points cut into the tube.

There are all sorts of reasons given why we can no longer keep our young people in the country, and most of the all sorts of reasons are good, but there is one which is just beginning to be recognized which is most potent of all, and yet most insidious. In the teachers of the little children in the country do we find the danger; these teachers, knowing nothing really of rural life, instil the thought from the beginning, "Get an education so as to get away from this place into a big city where you can have a chance!" And now our slow-going government has at last recognized this danger and sends out this warning: "The tendency of the rural school to encourage emigration to the city is due to the fact that the course of study in most rural schools is merely a copy of that given to city school children, without reference to the different" environment and local needs of the country child. As a result the authors declare that teachers everywhere, with rare exceptions, have idealised city life, and unwittingly have been potent f.ictors in Inducing young men and wc .;en to leave the farm and move into the city."—Universalis!

A noted lawyer of Tennessee, who labored under the defects of having a high temper and of being deaf, walked into_a court room presided, over by a younger man, of whom the older practitioner had a small opinion. Presently, in, the hearing of a motion, there was a clash between the lawyer and the judge. The judge ordered the lawyer to sit down, and as the lawyer, being deaf, didn't hear him and went on talking, the judge fined hint $10 for contempt. The lawyer leaned toward the clerk and cupped his hand behind his ear. "What did he say?" he inquired. "He fined you $10," explained the clerk. "For what?" "For contempt of this court," said the clerk. ' The lawyer shot a poisonous look toward the bench and reached a hand into his pocket. "I'll pay it," he said.

(By P, J . PARROTT.) For a number of years pear blossoms in orchards in the state of New York and other parts of the eaBt have blighted, resulting in more or less extensive losses in fruit yields. Careful studies during the past year have shown that the injury is caused by the pear thrips, a new orchard pest, which has attracted considerable attention imrecent years in California because orbits destructiveness to various deciduous fruits. The adult thrips, which is largely responsible for .the injuries to the trees, is a small, darkish brown, winged insect measuring about onetwentieth of an inch in length. It appears in destructive numbers when the buds are opening, attacking the tenderest of the flower parts. The eggs are mostly deposited beneath the epidermis of the blossom and fruit stems. Hatching takes place within a few days, and the larvae seek preferably the calyx cups, undersides of calyces, and the folds- or under surfaces of the tender,_expanding leaves. The larvae feed for-about two weeks and drop to the ground, in which they form a protecting cell. In this cell the insect completes its transformations and emerges from the ground in the spring as an adult. The thrips is single brooded; and the most active and destructive stages are coincident with the period that includes the life events of the swelling and opening of the buds and dropping of blossoms and calyces. ~% Injuries by the thrips in the Hudson valley have apparently occurred over a period of five years. During the past three years fruitgrowers generally have noticed blighting of blossom clusters of pear trees, although the nature of the causal agent seems not to have been suspected. According to cultivation, fertilizers, pruning and spraying for other insectB and diseases should be carefully considered in order that the most favorable conditions for recovery to health and productiveness may be afforded - to the trees. The thrips is a difficult pest to com. bat because of the nature and suddenness of its attacks. Spraying is the most efficient method of control. Tho period for effective spraying is during the time when the buds are breaking and until they are entirely opened at the tips. The most promising spray* ing mixtures are the nicotine prep* arations in combination with kerosene emulsion or soap. Two or three applications on successive days during the past year largely prevented important Injuries to pear trees. The physical features of the locations of the orchards, such as the direction and elevation of the slopes of the Und, and character of the soil, havft a marked influence on the development of the buds and the time of blossoming. The time for effective spraying will therefore vary with individual orchards. REWARDS OFFERED IN FRUIT GROWING Great Crops Ara.Possible When Conditions Are Created to Produce Them. Adult P«*ar T h r i p s . statements of fruitgrowers the most severe attack of the thrips occurred during 1910, when the pear crop in many orchards was much reduced. Besides losses in yields the trees were seriously checked by injuries to leaf buds and leaf clusters; and in some orchards the season was much advanced before the trees presented normal conditions of growth. The productiveness of pear orchards during 1911 was greater than the preceding year, but blighting of blossom clusters was general and orchards suffered losses in yields according to the severity of the attacks by the thrips. Severe attacks by the thrips are a serious drain on the vitality and productiveness of the trees. In their weakened state they are also more subject to injuries by adverse weather or environment, and to attacks by various wood-boring insects. The needs of the orchard with respect to Fruit growing offers many re^urds in the way of great possibilities to those who get the most out of it. The careful planter and the liberal feeder and culturist, as a rule, gets what he is working for. In all kinds of fruit culture gre^t crops are possible when the circumstances are created to produce them. A well-care4 for strawberry plantation, says a writer in Green Frutt, Grower, often yields wonderful results; and the same can be said ot raspberries, currants, gooseberries, etc., and yet it is not best to engage in fruit culture with that as an incentive. Figure on a fair crop, and if you get a large one, so much the better. I would not be understood to discourage aiming high—not by any means—simply to caution tthe inexperienced against building on these exceptional yields. Do not plant too /closely, and givo what you plant close attention. We know a man who may not be termed a model fruit grower, yet this man makes tho most of what he has, and is successful. Good varieties, good plants, suitable ground, and proper care will produce tine fruit. Economy is very essen* tial to success, and yet one mu^t not be penny wise and pound foolish. There must be thorough work done, and plants must not be crowded. It takes some Lhought to know ju&t how much work and money to bestow upon a crop to make the most possible profit from it. It is difficult for the inexperienced to realize the great value of experience in fruit growing, After one has traveled the road he can see the value. To those who are about to establish themselves in this interesting industry, I would say to go slow at first; make small beginnings; gain your knowledge as you go on; study your location and soil so that you will know better than any one just what is possible to accomplish with it. EXCELLENT STORAGE FOR THE ROOT CROPS VENT/LATQR Cross Section of An tartly Constructed Pit for Roots. E. J . Delwiche of the Wisconsin station makes the following recommendations regarding the storage of roots for feeding purposes: The besfc place to store roots is in a root cellar near where they are to be fed. Suoh a cellar may be a part of a barn, basement, or it may be built conveniently near to the stock bam. In most places the root house can be built most economically of concrete. Ordinarily cement is the only material that lias to be purchased. The gravel and "sand are usually available at no great distance on most farms. While the temperature in a root house should never fall to the freezing point, it slkmld be ajt a low point for best resuits in keeping roots. When no cellar is available^ roots may be stored in pits. For fall and early winter feeding they need not be covered tp any great depth. TlJie roots are put i n J conical pile about four feet in diameter on a bed of clean straw, then covered with a layer of; tw61 inches of 'Seng' sfcfaw*' Clean rye straw is preferred for this purpose. The straw at tfce apex of the pile it* made to form a chimney five or six inches ln diameter for ventilation. Dirt is thrown on the pile^to a depth of six Inches. The roots are piled as high as possible so as to shed water. When wanted for feeding the whole pit is taken into the barn at once. For early winter feeding the layer of dirt should be thicker, and In addition a covering of straw should be placed over the whole pile. The illustration shows a pit intend* ed to remain over winter, This provides for two layers of straw and two of earth. A ventilator made of four* inch? boards is placed at the apex. When severe freezing weather sets in, the ventilator is stuffed tightly with fine hay. In suoh a y pit roots will keep without freezing even in the coldest winters. If desired, the piles may be made oblong instead of conical in shape, retaining the gable form. While pits dp very well, so far as keeping the roots is concerned, it must be understood that they are but make* shifts at best. A root house whictt is accessible at a l l times is much more satisfactory and more economical, - •I EMULATES ROMEO; > ? TAKEN FOR BURGLAR Sweetheart of Ribbon Salesman .Explains to^JudgeJust How It All Happened. "New York.—When " Reginald Muihano was called to the bar in the Yorkville police court he had all he could do to hobble along on a cane. He was slight and undersized and with a meekness of feature that made the magistrate look up with surprise when he read on the complaint, "Attempted burglary." Close behind Mulhane stood a comely woman in the throes of a bad attack of tears. She was supported by a buxom middle- aged woman with a purple-plumed hat, who was dividing her time between patting the tearful one sympathetically on the shoulder and Bnifflng disdainfully at Policeman Buchmeller, who had Reginald in charge. "I found this man in the rear of the premises occupied by Jasper Bates, in East 74th street," recited Buchmeller. "He was sliding down a rope attached to a second-story win- MENTAV^Y.

"How do you know?" aBked the magistrate. "He's my sweetheart, judge, and he never done a thing like that in his life." "You never can tell," said the magistrate. "Have you any better evidence?" "I'm Rose Finnegan and I'm tho second maid at Mrs. Bates'," she said, "and this lady here is the cook, Mrs. Reilly. This gentleman here he sells ribbons downtown and he's been my steady company for months. He was good, steady company, but all he could do was to sit still and play with his hat. There wasn't' any romance at all to it, judge. He takes me to a play the other night and that gave me an idea. I started to teach him how to be romantic. I told him instead of coming to the basement door and ringing the bell, just as though ho was bringing some groceries instead of-candy, he ought to climb up on a balcony or do something like that. "He did not want to do it. He said that he was not up to those things. I said he would have to do it or I would go out with the fireman around the corner. "He said he guessed he'd have to do it, but I would have to pick out something easy. I told him all he'd have to do would be to climb up a ropo to my window, and the cook and I would help him. "When it was time for him to call cook and I dropped a clothesline to him and he started to climb up. He said it hurt his hands, but we told him to keep on trying and then he fell and hilrt his ankle, and this policeman grabbed him. " A l l tho lady said is straight, Judge," declared Reginald. "I did not want to do this stunt, but I could not let that fireman get ahead of me." "I guess I made a mistake," said Buchmeller. "This guy didn't look like a burglar to me anyhow, and, besides, I know that fireman and I don't like him either." "Seeing that everybody i3 satisfied," said the magistrate, "tho case is dismissed."

"Put on 'Nearer My God to Thee* you fool before you strike a tele* graph pole."—Pontiac Press Gazette." Not Tne Editors Fault Some people wonder at times bow it is tbat a newspaper has a lengthy written account of one wedding and just a few lines giv* ing the bare announcement of another wedding. Some people attribute it to partiality upon the part of the editor, others say it is because one is rich and the other is poor, etc., but the real solution is very simple. In one case someone interested has been thoughtful enough to give the editor the details while in the other case he has chased all around to find out something a* bout it and unable to obtain any particulars has to be content with a simple announcement, and he is is not always able to secure even tha.t much for certain.

A little attention to the subject will convince any one that the high price of living nearly doubles between the producer and the consumer. Very few will take the position that the farmer re* oeives too much for bis products, but all agree that the consumer is compelled to pay too much. Too many people are making a living off of what is produced. There are too many profits between the farm and the home. This does not apply to the country merchant, as he is an absolute neoess ity. Middle men are as necessary as the producer, but we have too many and the solution of the coat of living is the elimination of some of the tmneceasy agents betw een two ex tremes.—Ex.
