Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, March 4, J 915 No. 10 MORE FARMERS FALLING IN LINE T h e "Name Your P«Tm" Idea Struck R e s p o n s i v e C h o r d In this Locality That Pinckney is surrounded by a claas of farmers who are progressive, is evidenced by the manner iu which they have taken up with the up-to-date idea of naming their farms as soon as the project was launched by the Dis- , patch. A few farms have been »named for some time bat the big 'majority of the farms in the long hst printed herewith, have been christened since our campaign began two weeks ago. These people are not slow to see the advantages to be derived from having a farm name and mean to keep abreast of the times. We congratulate them and are only too glad to help them establish the name by which their place is to be known. We have good reason to believe there are many yet who wish to fall in line while the Dispatch is publishing this list, for io this way as no other are you able to select a name which you have^the sole right to use. We will not accept duplicate names under the same poetoffice address. We will continue the list one week more, giving everybody ample time to get in on this and sincerely hope there will be a hundred new names for next week's paper.

The farmer who desires to know may obtain some enlightenment from a new bulle. tin of the agricultural department at Washington, entitled "Group classification and varietal description of some American potatoes." This is a professional paper and deals in detail with each potato family. • A more intimate knowledge of the potato is much to be desired, says the bulletin. Not only does this apply to scientists, but also to the farmers who grow them.

Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Figs" that this la their ideal laxative, because they love its pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels without griping. When cross, irritable, feverish, or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a teaspoonful of this harmless "fruit laxative," and In a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child •tain. When its little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, Indigestion, colic—remember, a good "inside cleaning" should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep "California Byrup of Figs" handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50« eent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs/' which has directions for babies, children of all ages and grownups printed on the bottle. Adv.

All 22 senators present voted for it Before its passage the bill was slightly amended so as to apply only to the logging camps and to the right of way of logging railroads, a logging railroad being defined as one which is primarily for the" transportation of logs and lumber and which is operated in connection with a logging camp. It had been expected that the upper peninsula members would vote against this bill, but apparently they were satisfied with the amendments for all voted In its favor. Just before the vote was taken Senator Damon read extracts from a dozen or more letters that he had received from large lumbering concerns, owners and operators of camps and railroads, urging the passage of the bill. In addition to the Damon bill, the senate also passed finally the bill introduced by Representative Hoffman lifting the poll tax on highways from 11 to $1.50. This bill is now ready for the governor. The senate gave final action to one of its own bills, that appropriating money for the payment back of the pension money at the Soldiers' home and giving an additional appropriation for repairs. This bill was given immediate effect. BECKER DENIED NEW TRIAL Condemned Man Has Chance Only In Court of Appeals. New York—Justice Weeks, in the criminal branch of the supreme court, Friday denied Charles Becker a new trial. The justice made no comment and handed down no extensive decision. Across the motion papers, handed in Friday by Martin Manton and Joseph B. Johnston, Becker's counsel, he simply wrote the words "Motion denied," and ended the attempt to get Becker a third trial. The effort to get a new trial for Becker was based on the affidavit made by James Marshall, the Negro whose testimony at Becker's last trial did so much to convict the former police lieutenant Becker's appeal before the court of appeals for a new trial is still to be argued. Becker is a former New York police lieutenant and is under sentence of death for the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Lumbermen to Protest Rates. Saginaw—Because of the high tariff on lumber local dealers have asked the circuit court to issue a restraining order to prevent the railroads from collecting the new increases until an appeal can be taken to the state railroad commission Lumbermen in the valley assert that the increased freight rates will put (hem out of business.

The seiiure by a French cruiser, appears to have been due to an agreement between France and Great Britain to allow intered vessels to be captured by French vessels and referred to a prise court thus making the two nations involved France and the United States, instead of Great Britain and America. The Dacia was interned at Port Arthur, Texas, when she was bought In December by Edward N. Breitung, a New York and Michigan banker and mine owner. Mr. Breitung obtained American registry for her, with the consent of the United States government and placed aboard her an Amor* lean skipper and crew. She was taken to Galveston and sailed from that port January SI with a cargo of 11,000 hales of cotton for Rotterdam. It was fully expected that the ship would be seized on her way to Rotterdam as Great Britain Questioned the validity of the recent transfer of the Dacla from German to American registry. The Dacia touched at Norfolk February 11 and then ^proceeded on her way. Representations were made by the British embassy at Washington, questioning the validity of the transfer of the interned German vessel, and it was generally understood that if the ship sailed she would be seised by British or French warships and taken before a prise court of Qoaoral Coste* Dead* services for Nevtu Pontine.—Michael Kauffman of Detroit and John Walters of Pontlac were released by the Pontine police after being held a month In connection with the murder of John B.

The judge and Mrs. Sco- •Ule meet at Spencer'g Folly and she Shows him how, on the day of the murtter, ahe saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing & long peaked gap. The Judge enrages her and her —daughter Reuther to live with him in his fayetepious home. Deborah and her lawy* r.

"Madam, we have said our say on Jthla subject If you have come to aee the matter M I see it, I can but congratulate yon upon your good sense, avnd express the hope that It will continue to prevail. Reuther ia worthy *f the beet—" he stopped abruptly. -Reuther Is a gtrl after my own heart," be gently supplemented, with a fiance toward his papers lying in a bundle at hie elbow, "and she shall not suffer because of this disappointment to her girlish hopes. Tell her so with my lore." It was a plain diamiasal. Mrs. Sco- Tiile took it sa such, and Quietly left the room. As she did so she was approached by Reuther, who handed her a letter which had just been delivered. It wae from Mr. Black, and read thus: We have found the rogue and have succeeded In inducing him to leave town. He's a man in the bill-sticking business and he owns to a grievance against the person we know. Deborah's sleep that night was without dreams. About this time, the restless spacing of the judge in his study at nights became more frequent and lasted longer. In vain Reuther played her most cheerful airs and sang her sweetest songs, the monotonous tramp kept up with a regularity nothing could break. "He's worried by the big case now being tried before him," Deborah would say, when Reuther's eyes grew wide and misty in her sympathetic trouble. And there was no improbability in the plea, for it was a case of much moment, and of great local interest A man was on trial for his life and the circumstances of the eaae were such that the feeling called forth was unusually bitter; so much so, in* deed, that every, word uttered by the counsel and every decision made by the Judge were discussed from one end of the county to the other, and in Shqiby, if nowhere else, took precedence of all other topics, though It was a presidential year and party sympathies ran high. The more thoughtful spirits were inclined to believe in the innocence of the prisoner; but the lower elements of the town, moved by ehus prejudice, were bitterly antagonistic to his cause and loud for his conviction, Tito time of Jndge Ootrander't offloe was nearly upland bis future ooatttnonee on the bench might very eaaQy 4epend npon bit attitude at the oat hosrlac. Tot be, without recognition of thai tne^ showed with* out any besjftancy soM^oooockwwnoos. the sympathy ho «e$ for the v a n at the bar, and ruled "Come here, child," said he, in a way to make her heart beat; and, as he took the gloves from her hand, he stooped and kissed her on the forehead— something he bad never done before. "Let me see you smile," said he. "It's a memory I like to take with me into the courtroom." But when in her pure delight at his caress and the fatherly feeling which gave a tremor to his simple request, she lifted her face with that angelic look of hers which was far sweeter and far more moving than any smile, he turned away abruptly, as though he had beea more hurt than comforted, and strode out of the house without another word. Morning passed and the noon came, bringing Deborah an increased uneasiness. When lunch was over and Reuther sat down to her piano, the feeling had grown into an obsession, which had soon resolved itself into a definite fear. She found herself so restless that she decided upon going out Donning her quietest gown and veil, she slipped out of the front door,- hardly knowing whither her feet would carry her. They did not carry her far—not at this moment, at least On the walk outside she met Miss Weeks hurrying toward her from the corner, stumbling 'Come Here, Child/' Said He, in a Way to Make H*r Heart Beat A week poswed. nnd the an agog, m anticipation of the Judge's obasge sa the e m fast to bo gfron at and Hit feasts** oomscloe* that ho |ad sot slept am in her excitement At sight of Deborah's figure ehe paused and threw up her hands. "On, Mrs. Scoville, such a dreadful thing!" she cried. "Look here!" And, opening one of her hands, she showed a few torn scraps of paper whose familiarity made Deborah's blood run cold. "On the bridge," gasped the little lady, leaning against the fence for support Tasted on the railing of the bridge. I should never have seen it, nor looked at it, if it hadnt been that 1 - - "Don't -tell me here," urged Deborah. "Let's go over to your house. See, there are people coming." Once in the house, Deborah allowed her full apprehension to show itself. "What were the words? What was on the paper? Anything about—- The little woman's look of horror stopped her. I t ' s a He, an awful, abominable He. _ , But think of such a lie being pasted possibly w i t h o u t ^ on tjy* dreadful bridge for to vffle! -Miss Weeks—- Ah. the oil of that golden speech on troubled wetersl What was lis charm? "Lot see nnos or what there is left so that I bo Black's efforts, a charge like this is found posted up in the public ways, the ruin of the Oatrauders la determined upon, and nothing we can do can stop it" In five minutes more she had said good-by to Miss Weeks and was on her way to the courthouse. As she approached It she was still further alarmed by Anding this square full of people, standing in groups or walking impatiently up and down with their eyes fixed on the courthouse doors. Within, there was the uneasy hum, the anxious look, the subdued movement which marks an universal suspense. Announcement had been made that the jury had reached their verdict, and counsel were resuming their places and the judge his seat Those who had eyes only for the latter—and these were many—noticed a change in him. " He looked older by years than when he delivered his charge. Not the prisoner himself gave greater evidence of the effect which this hour of waiting had had upon a heart whose covered griefs were, consciously or unconsciously, revealing themselves to the public eye. He did not wish this man sentenced. This was shown by his charge—the most one-sided one he had given in all bis career. Silence, that awful precursor of doom,, ley in all its weight upon every ear and heart, as the clerk, advancing with the cry, "Order in the court." put his momentous question; "Oentlemen of the jury, are you ready with your verdict?" A hushl—then, the clear voice of the foreman: "We are." "How do you find? Guilty or not guilty?" Another hesitation. Did the foreman feel the threat lurking in the air about him? If so, he failed to show it in his tones as he uttered the words which released the prisoner: "Not guilty." A growl from the crowd, almost like that of a beast stirring in its lair, then a quick cessation of all hubbub as every one turned to the Judge to whose one-sided charge they attributed this release. Deborah experienced In her quiet corner no alleviation of the fear which had brought her into this forbidding spot and held her breathless through these formalities. For the end was not yet Through ail the turmoil of noisy departure and the drifting out into the square of a vast, dissatisfied throng, she had caught the flash of a bit of paper (how introduced into this moving mass of people no one ever knew) passing from hand to hand, toward the solitary figure of the judge, its delay as it reached the open space between the last row of seats and the judge's bench and its final delivery by some officious hand, who thrust it upon his notice just as he was rising to leave. Deborah saw his finger tear Its way through the envelope and his eyes fall frowningly on the paper he drew out Then the people's counsel and the counsel for the defense and such clerks and hangers-on as still lingered in the upper room experienced a decided sensation. The judge, who* a moment before bad towered above them all In melancholy but impressive dignity, shrunk with one gasp into feebleness and sank back stricken, if not unconscious, into his chair. It happened suddenly and showed her the same figure she had seen once before—a man with faculties suspended, but not Impaired, facing them all with open gaze but absolutely dead for the moment to his own condition and to the world about But horrible as this was, what she saw going on behind him was infinitely worse. A man had caught up the bit of paper Judge Ostrander had let fall from his hand and was opening his lips to read it to the curious people snrTounding him. She tried to stop him. She farced a cry to her lips which should have rung through the room, but which died r~?ay on the air unheard. The terror which had paralysed her limbo had choked her voice. But her ears remained true- Low as he spoke, no trumpet-call could have made its meaning clearer to Deborah Scovfile than did these words: Wi know why you favor criminals. Twelve yean Is a long time, but not long •sough Is make wise men forget one which had lust rsisasid U> frne* dom a man seemingly doomed. Few persons were now left in the great room, and Deborah, embarrassed to find that she was the only woman present, waa on the point cf escaping from her corner when she perceived a movement take pHexe in the rigid form from which she had not yet withdrawn her eyes, and, regarding Judge Ostrander more attentively, ^he caught the gleam of his suspicious eyes as he glanced this way and that to see If Lis lapse of consciousness had been noticed by those about him. Wherever the judge looked be saw abstracted faces and busy hands, and, taking heart at not finding himself watched, he started to rise. Then memory came—blasting, overwhelming memory of the letter he had been reading; and, rousing with a start, he looked down at his hand, then at the floor before him, and, seeing the letter lying there, picked it up with a secret, sidelong glance to right and left, whlcb sank deep into the heart of the still watchful Deborah. If those about him saw, they made no motion. Not an eye looked round and not a head turned as he straightened himself and proceeded to leave the room. Only Deborah noted how his stepe faltered and how little he CHAPTER X I I . "The Misfortunes of My House." Schooled ns most of thorn wore to face with minds secure and tempers the of a oosstroent the persons within paled at the mslssartoii In these two sentences, and with of aglsnoeor ten to As lor the aeeste stfll saddled is the He Assumed 8ome 8how of His Oid Commanding Presence. was to be trusted to find his way unguided to the door. It lay to the right and he was going left. Now he stumbles— isn't there any one to—yes, she is not the sole one on watch. The same man who had read aloud the note and then dropped it within reach, had stepped after him, and kindly, if artfully, turned him towards the proper place of exit. As the two disappear, Deborah wakes from her trance, and, finding herself alone among the seats, hurries to quit her corner and leave the building. The glare—the noise of the square, as she dashes down into it seems for the moment unendurable. The pushing, panting mass of men and women of which she has now become a part, closes about her, and for the moment she can see nothing but faces—faces with working mouths aad blaxing eyes Thick as the crowd was in front it was even thicker here, and far more tumultuous. Word had gone about that the father of Oliver Ostrander had been given his lesson at last end the curiosity of the populace had risen to fever-heat in their anxiety to see how the proud Ostrander would boar himself in his precipitate downfall. They had crowded there to see and they would see. He was evidently not prepared to see his path quite so heavily marked out for him by the gaping throng; but after one look, he assumed some show of his old commanding presence and advanced bravely down the steps, awing some and silencing all, unto he had reached bis carriage step and the protection of the officers on guard. Then a hoot rose from some far-off quarter of the square, aad bo turned short about and the people saw his face. Despair had seised i t and If any one there desired vengeance, ho had It The knoll of active life had boon rung for this man. He would never remount the courthouse steps, or face again a respectful jury. (TO BS CONTINUED.)

The veranda box should be 15 inches wide, ten inches deep and as long as desired. Bore an inch hole through every square foot of the bottom of the box; then put in a layer of broken crockery, pebbles or cinders for drainage. Rosea thrive best in a rich but firm soil; therefore, stiffen the soil with clay, and enrich with well rotted cow manure. Plant the roses, If teas, six inches apart, and if hybrids, twice that distance, and firm the aofT wen about them. Place the boxes where they will get the sun moat of the day. When the rosea bloom cut back to a strong and well developed bud, and in a short time this shoot will grow, and develop into a rose. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, but never sprinkle roses when they need-watering. Give them plenty of i t - . Late in the fall carefully remove the roses with plenty of soil, and pack them together In a well drained corner of the garden. Bury them in strawy manure and leaves held down by cornstalks or thick brush. Next spring, when the rosea start into growth, cut hack to within five or six inches of the ground, and plant into their boxes with new soil Disturb the roots aa little aa possible. The Baby Rambler is a good rose for veranda bores. All Boys and Girls should write to Wm.

The first of these processes promises to enable the independent refiners in this country to increase their output of gasoline from petroleum 200 per eent or more according to Secretary Lane, who added: "With an estimated production on the part of the independent refiners of 12,000,000 barrels of gasoline in a year, this will mean an output from # independents alone of 36,000,000 barrels, greater than the total production today from all sources." Application has been made on behalf of the federal government, to patent these processes in order to prevent any monopoly in their use, the patents to be dedicated to the Americ a n people. tes^iv Dentists ness to Doctors appetite affirm its helpfulteeth and gums, attest its aid to and digestion. MEN THROWN OUT OF WORK Fire Destroys Refrigerator Plant at Greenville Sunday. Greenville—Fire of undetermined origin broke out in the plant of the Ranney Refrigerator company here late Sunday afternoon and totally destroyed one of the company's two buildings, doing damage approximately at 1150,000 and,throwing 160 men out of employment. Flames were first discovered shooting from the building by passersby. A hurried alarm was sent to the local fire department but it was unable to cope with the fierce tongues of flame which soon enveloped the structure. The most energetic efforts only prevented the flames from spreading. Factory "A," the portion of the industry destroyed, was the older of two buildings used by the company in the manufacture of refrigerators. It was constructed of brick. The interior was wood. President F. E. Ranney, of the company, was unable to state after the fire whether or not he would begin rebuilding operations at once. Insurance on the building is approximately $58,000.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- j fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

When the well known African traveler Dr. Robert Felkin was staying with the bloodthirsty King Mtesa of Uganda many years ago the king; out of gratitude for his visitor's medical treatment, wished to cut off his head. On Dr. Felkin representing that the treatment was not finished and that if interrupted it would cause Mtesa's death the latter granted him a reprieve until he was quite recovered. Then the execution was determined upon. Emin Pasha, who was a friend of Dr. Felkin, had instructed him most accurately about the state of affairs In Uganda and had revealed to him an Important state secret—namely, where Mtesa'a powder store was hidden. Dr. Felkin remembered this at the right moment and as a last resort threatened that if Mtesa killed him he would bring down a flash of lightning upon his powder store. Mtesa replied Incredulously, "Tell me where it la," whereupon Dr. / e l k l n whispered in his ear, "It is concealed under your harem." Mtesa turned pale and allowed Felkin and bis companions to live. The "lightning maker's" authority increased when nest day a flash of lightning happened to strike near the harem.

Eat Less Meat and Take Salts for Backache or Bladder Trouble— Neutralize Acids. Uric acid in moat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead.

DAISIES ALL YEAR ROUND In the mild climate of California and pome of the southern states, daisies bloom all the year around. Tn California these flowers grow very much larger than those of the East, as do all Pacific coast flowers; but they seem to lack, brilliancy, and to manypersons are not as satisfactory. In the colder climates, of course, it is impossible to keep daisies blooming every month; but by planting different varieties some of them may be kept blooming the entire summer. The daisy is really not a domesticated flower, as a great many low-growing wild flowers are called daisies. Many varieties are classed as weeds In fact, the ox-eyed daisy which is plentiful all through New England and some of the northern states, is called white-weed., The chrysanthemum and wild asters are called daisies and really belong to the same family. While it would not be possible perhaps to have a daisy hedge in bloom all the year, still by planting the various species of daisies^ chrysanthemums and asters, some bloom could be had from April to November in all except the extreme northern states. Rosa Rugosa—Japanese Rose. The flowers are not the only beau- . while large clusters of red fruit foltiful part of this shrub, the leaves are low the bloom and persist till late in handsome enough to be grown alone j the fall.

WOULD HAVE STATE WRITE INSURANCE MEASURE IS INTRODUCED ON REQUEST OF FEDERATION OF LABOR. BILL SIMILAR TO OHIO LAW CANAL BUILDER SAYS HE WILL RETIRE WITHIN YEAR Would Compcll Employes Operating Under Compensation Law to Take Out Policies With State. Lansing—The Michigan Federation of Labor, through its secretary. Homer -J?. Waterman, has prepared a bill proposing several changes to the present workmen's compensation act which was introduced in the legislature Thursday. It follows closely the plan of the Ohio law and provides for exclusive state Insurance. Under the present law stock and mutual liability insurance companies are allowed to write liability insurance for employers operating under the provisions of the workmen's compensation act. The state insurance department also administers similar Insurance for those employes who elect to come under the state plan. The latter plan has resulted in forcing down the rates paid by employers in many case's as much as 50 per cent and as a result there has been much cutting and slashing of rates by the stock and mutual liability companies. The new plan would mean that all employers operating under the workmen's compensation law would be compelled to take their liability insurance from The state, and would mean that over $2,000,000 annually in premiums would be turned in to the accident fund of the state insurance department. This amount is now yearly paid to stock and mutual companies. The proposed law would also prevent any employer from carrying his own risk, which many employers now do. The bill provides further for the transfer of the accident fund from the jurisdiction of the commissioner of insurance to the industrial accident board, again following the Ohio plan. Proposed changes in the present law contained in the proposed bill increase the compensation to injured employes from 50 to 66 2-3 per cent, with a maximum of $12 per week and a minimum of $5 per week.

GEO. W. GOETHALS Panama—Major-General G. W. Goethals, governor of the Panama canal zone, in a speech Saturday night at the annual banquet of the Society of the Chagres, announced his probable retirement as governor within a year. He said he had requested that he be relieved in favor of a younger man and that the request undoubtedly would be granted. General Goethals declared that he had been opposed to his own promotion together with other officers, when civilian canal employes had been overlooked. He also stated that he had opposed charging employes rent for their living quarters. STATE AID BILL OFFERED Measure Would Place Wide Powers in Hands of State Highway Commissioner for Road Building. WOMAN IS CONTEST WINNER Miss Frances Hickok WiN Represent U, of M. in Northern Oratorical League. Ann Arbor—Miss Frances Hickok of Plainwell, Mich., will represent the University of Michigan in the Northern Oratorical league contest at Iowa City on May 7. she being the first woman ever chosen to represent the University in a contest of this tort. Miss Hickok won this in a contest Thursday night in which she was pitted against some of the best public speakers in the university, she speaking on "The Mission of the New Womanhood." In winning the honor Miss Hickok also won the Chicago alumni medal and the Kauffman testimonial of $100. J. R. Cotton of Walkerton, Ind., was second and I. S. Toplon of Lake Linden third. Veteran Publisher Is Dead. Ann Arbor—Fred Slocum, formerly of Caro, one of the oldest and best known newspaper publishers in Michigan, died suddenly Saturday morning, after an illness of 10 months. He wa£ born in Holly May 25, 1859. At the age of 18 he established the Holly Advertiser, which he later sold to his brother James in 1884, and purchased the Tuscola County Advertiser, at Caro, which paper he published for more than 20 years. During his connection with the paper he filled all of the important offices of the Michigan Press association, of which he was a member for more than 30 years. I^ansing—State aid to the counties, to the amount of 50 per cent of the cost of construction and maintenance of roads, and road* built entirely bystate funds if traffic and market demands require, are provisions of a bill now being considered by the roads and bridges committee of the state house of representatives. A specified tax on all property in the state is to be used as a fund for road construction. The bill would permit of the use of convict labor in road work if the governor, the officials of state penal institutions and the highways commissioner Bhall agree upon its feasibility. Extraordinary provisions against grade accidents and injury to road surfaces are included in the bill. To bring into existence in Michigan, the center of the automobile industry, which has done more for good roads than any other agency, a system of roads second to none in the United States, the bill would place in the hands of a state highway commissioner wide powers, extending even to a restriction of county road activities when such activities are considered disadvantageous to the general plan of highway improvement throughout the state. Assistance to as high a degree as 60 per cent, where the governor and the highways commissioner believe the best interests will be served, is a provision of the bill, and main market roads may, In cases of the inability of counties to do the work, be built and maintained entirely by state funds. Washington—President Wilson has selected Monday, May 10, as the date for the Pan-American financial conference In this city, at which the ministers of finance and leading bankers of Central and South American countries will meet financiers and treasury officials of the United States to discuss the establishment of more satisfactory financial and commercial relations between the nations of the western hemisphere. In a statement Sunday night, Secretary McAdoo said all of the foreign governments had responded favorably when approached informally regarding the conference, and that formal invitations would be sent them immediately. Congress authorized the conference and appropriated $50,- 000 for expenses', "The secretary of the treasury," said Mr. McAdoo, "is given authority to invite, in his discretion, representative American bankers to participate in the conference. This discretion will be exercised so as to secure the attendance of as large a number as is practicable of our representative financiers, in order that a thorough and comprehensive discussion may be had of existing financial conditions throughout the western hemisphere, and of the measures that should be adopted to strengthen financial and trade relations between the United States and our Central and South American neighbors. "The secretary of commerce, the members of the federal reserve board, the secretary of state and all other members of the cabinet will be asked to attend the conference. A similar invitation will be extendetk^to the diplomatic representatives of the various Central and South American countries and to Mr. John Barrett, director of the Pan-American Union. To Discuss Bank Extension. "It is a significant fact that our exports to South America reached the lowest point for the year 1914 in the months of October, November and December, when they were reduced to less than one-half of those for the same months of 1913. This decline is, in great measure, due to the scarcity of ships and the exhorbitant rates of freight now being charged." Live Stock. DETROIT—Cattle at packing plants weighed off cars.

This news reached Madrid by way of Badajoa. The course of the republic of Portugal, since its establishment, five years ago, following the assassination of King Carlos, has been marked by political dissension and strife.

Those who are interested in devel* oping the agricultural resources^ «£ Western Canada in bringing tcr*the notice of those whom they desire to take part in this development present only the facts. There has never bean given the impression that fanning* in Western Canada could be carried on without effort or labor, but it has been successfully stated that better results can be secured with less outlay of capital, either in money or labor, than anywhere else on the continent. This has been proven time and time again. Hundreds of cases could be cited where men have taken up farms* either a homestead, or purchased from railways or land companies, and with little capital at the start have acquired a competence, have established good homes for themselves, and provided a sure future. They have comfortable homes and all their surroundings are comfortable, speak of the reward that their thrift has accomplished. Carl Dick~an, of Russian Poland lived in Pittsburgh, Pa., for fourteen years. and saved up $900. In 1903 he took the $900 with him to Alberta. His own story is that he bought a quarter Beer tion, for which he agreed to pay $1,200. "In 1904 I had thirty acres of crop, threshed 900 bushels. In 1909 I bought another quarter. I now have one hundred acres under cultivation, and have never- had a crop failure- Have threshed forty-seven bushels of wheat per acre, but the average has been about forty. My oats for the eleven years that I have been here averaged forty-seven bushels to the acre. I now have 9 horses, 47 head of cattle, 33 hogs, which I consider worth $3,600. I' have a thousand dollars worth of farm implements and my land is worth $8,000. This is all clear of debt. I have every reason to consider this a first-class mixed farming, dairying and poultry raising country, as I think that it is apparent that.. I have had some success. The only'* help that I had was my oldest boy, who was 8 years old when I arrived in Alberta." About fifty miles west of Wetasklwin there 1s a partially timbered district lying between Buck Lake and Pig-eon Lake. All this land is ready for homesteading, and judging from a letter received by a resident there, this would seem to be an ideal place for a farmer who desired such surroundings. This setjier lives on the shore of Buck Lake, his land Is willow bVu8h, which is easy to clear. Some of the lumber is good saw timber, and lots of good logs for buildings can be had, as well as rails for fencing. For wheat growing the soil is excellent. Water is easily secured, fishing is good and plentiful and game is anything but scarce. The settlers are mostly from the United States and Canada.—Advertisement. flu Wee Gets Recess Appointment Washington—President Wilson Saturday gave a recess appointment to George Rubles, of Cornish, N.

Bills dealing with tuberculosis are now being considered in 32 state legislatures, according to a statement of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. In six states bQls are being considered which can for the reporting and registration of all living cases of tuberculosis. Five states and the District of Columbia are working for lawn which will require that consumptivee who refuse to observe sanitary regulations and are a menace in hospitals. In Bix states legislation permitting the establishment of county or local hospitals for tuberculosis are being discussed, and in another group of sis, state subsidies of $3 to $5 per week per patient are being asked for such Institutions. A more or less complete reorganization of state health work Is sought in several states, especially Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas and Arizona.

Haj. daughter is engaged to the Judge's son, from whom be Is estranged, but the tnurder Id between the lovers. She plans to clear her husband's memory and asks the Judge's aid. Deborah Scoville reads the newspaper clippings telling the story efithe murder of Algernon Etheridge by John Scoville In Dark Hollow, twelve ' years before. The judge and Mrs. Scoville meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows him how, on the day of the murder, she saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap. The Judge engages her and her daughter Reuther to live with him in his mysterious home. Deborah and her lawyer, Black, go to the police station and see the stick used to murder Etheridge. She discovers a broken knife-blade point embedded In It. Deborah and Reuther go to live with the Judge. Deborah sees a portrait of Oliver, the Judge's son, with a Black band painted across the eyes. That night she finds, In Oliver's room, a cap with a peak like the shadowed one, and a knife with a broken blade-point. Anonymous letters and a talk with Miss weeks Increase her suspicions and fears. She finds that Oliver was in the ravine on the murder night. Black warns her and shows her other anonymous letters hinting at Oliver's guilt In the court room the judge is handed an anonymous note. The note is picked up and read aloud. CHAPTER XII—Continued. AB for Deborah, she had shrunk out of sight at his approach, but as soon as he bad ridden off she looked eagerly for a taxicab to carry her in his wake. She could not let him ride that mile alone. She was still fearful for him, though the mass of people about her was rapidly dissolving away, and the streets growing clear. She can see his carriage now. Held up for a moment by the crowd, it has broken through, and is rolling quickly towards Ostrander lane. But the mob is following, and she is yet far behind. Shouting to the the chauffeur to hasten, the insistent "honk! hank! of the cab adds it raucous note to the turmoil! They have dashed through one group—they are dashing through another—naught can withstand an onrushing automobile. She catches glimpses of raised arms threatening retaliation; of eager, stolid, uncertain and furious faces—and her breath held baek during that one instant of wild passage rushes pantingly forth again. Ostrander lane Is within sight. If only they can reach it—if only they can cross it! But they cannot without sowing death In their track. No scattered groups here, the mob fills the corner. It la packed close as a wall. Brought up against it, the motor necessarily comes to a standstill. She will have to wait until the crowd sways apart, allowing her to— Ah, there, some heads are moving now! She catches one glimpse ahead of her. and see—What does she see? The noble but shrunk figure of the Judge drawn up before his gate. His lips are moving, but no sound issues from them; a change passes like .. stroke of lightning over the surging mass. Some one shouts out "Coward!" another, "Traitor!" and the lifted head falls, the moving lips cease from their efforts and in place* of the great personality which filled their eyes a moment before, they see a man entrapped, waking to the horror of a sadden death in life for which no visions of the day, no dreams of the night, had been able to prepare him. It was a sight to waken pity, not derision. But these people had gathered here in a bitter mood and their rancor had but scented the prey. Calls of "Oliver!'' and such threats as T o n saved him at a poor man's expense, but well have him yet, w e l l have him yet!" began to rise about him; followed by endless repetitions of the name from near and far: "Oliver! Oliver!" Oliver! His own lips seemed to reecho the word. Then like a lion baited beyond his patience the Judge lifted bis head and faced them all with a fiery intensity which for the moment made him a terrible figvre to contemplate. ~IM no one utter that name to me here!" shot from his Hpa m tones of -Spare me that my mimed life be no The cry The asms of bat o v a have to haagl At wfcieh To one who swoons but seldom, the moment of returning consciousness is often fraught with great pain and sometimes with unimaginable horror. It was such to Deborah; the pain and horror holding her till her eyes, accustomed to realities again, saw in the angel face which floated before her vision amid a swarm of demon masks, the sweet and solicitous, countenance of Reuther. Reuther, taking her mother's hand in hers, said softly: "I knew you were not seriously ill, only frightened by the crowd and their senseless shoutings. Don't think of it any more, dear mother. The people are dispersing now, and you will soon be quite restored and ready to Bmile with us at an attack so groundless it is little short of absurd." Astonished at such tranquillity where she had expected anguish if not stark unreason, doubting her eyes, her ears —for this was no longer her delicate, suffering Reuther to be shielded from all unhappy knowledge, but a woman as strong if not as wise to the situation cc herself—she scrutinized the child closely, then turned her gaze slowly about the room, and started in painful surprise, as she perceived standing in the space behind her the tall figure of Judge Ostrander. "Pardon," she entreated, forgetting Reuther's presence in her consciousness of the misery she had brought upon her benefactor. "I never meant —I never dreamed—" "Oh, no apologies!" Was this the judge speaking? The tone was an admonitory, not a suffering one. It was not even that of a man humiliated or distressed. "You have had a unfortunate experience, but that is over now and BO must your distress be," Then, as in her astonishment she dropped her hands and looked up, he added very quietly, "Your dauglr**." has been much disturbed about you, but not at all about Oliver or his good name. She knows my son too well, and so do you and I, to be long affected by the virulent outcries of a mob seeking for an object upon which to expend their spleen." Deborah was glad to sit silent unde.- this open rebuke and listen to Reuther's ingenuous declarations, though she knew that they brought no conviction and distilled no real comfort either to his mind or hers. "Yes, mother, darling," the young girl was saying. "These people have not seen Oliver In years, but we have, and nothing they can say, nothing that any one can say but himself, could ever shake my belief in him as a man incapable of a really wicked act He might be capable of striking a sudden blow—most men are under great provocation—but to conceal such a fact—to live for years enjoying the respect of all who knew him, with the knowledge festering in his heart of another having suffered for his crime— that, that would be impossible to Oliver Ostrander." Some words ring in the heart long after their echo has left the ear. Impossible! Deborah stole a look at the judge. But he was gazing at Reuther, where he well might gaze, if his sinking heart craved support or his abashed mind sought to lose itself in the enthusiasm of this pore soul, with its loving, uncalculating instincts. "Tell the Judge who la as confident of Oliver as I am myself that yon are confident, too. That yon could no more believe him capable of this abominable act tha yon could believe it of my father.** "I will—tell—the Judge." stammered the unhappy mother. "Judge," she briefly declared, as she rose with the help of her daughter's arm, "my mind agrees with y o u * In this matter. What yon think. I think.'* And that was all she coald amy. As she fail again into bar seat, tha Judge tamed to Reother: "Leave your mother for a little whUa,- ha urged, with that rara ha always showed a few with effort, began some conciliatory speech, the young girl smiled with a certain bad patience, and, turning toward Judge Ostrander, aaid as »he bottly withdrew; "You have been very kind to allow me to mention a name and discuss a eubject you have expressly forbidden. I want to show my gratitude. Judge Ostrander, by never referring to it again without yours permission. That you know., my mind"—here her head rose with a sort of lofty pride which lent h dazzling quality to her usually quiet beauty—"and that I know youns, is quite enough for me." "A noble girl! a mate for the best!" fell from the Judge's lips after a silence disturbed only by the faint, faroff murmur of a slowly dispersing throng. Deborah made no answer. She could not yet trust her courage or her voice. The judge, who was standing near, concentrated hie look upon her features. "Madam!"—he was searching her eyes, searching her very soul, as men seldom search the mind of another. "You believe in the truth of these calumnies that have just been shouted in our ears. You believe what they Bay of Oliver. You, with every prejudice in his favor; with every desire to recognize his worth! You, who have shown yourself ready to drop your husband's cause though you consider it an honest one, when you saw what havoc it would entail to my boy's repute. You believe—and on what evidence?" he broke in. "Because of the picture and the coincidence of his presence in the ravine?" "Yes." "But these are puerile reasons." He was speaking peremptorily now and with all the weight of a master mind. "And you are not the woman to be satisfied with anything puerile. There is something back of all this; something you have not imparted. What Is that something? Tell—tell—" "Oliver was a mere boy in those days and a very passionate one. He police headquarters, and there In the wood I detected and pointed out a tritle of steel which never came from the unbroken blades of the knife taken from John's pocket." Fallen was the proud head now and fallen the great man's aspect. If he spoke it was to utter a low "Oliver! Oliver!" The pathos of it—the heart-rending wonder in the tone brought the tears to Deborah's eyes and made her last words very difficult. "But the one great thing which gives te these facts their really dangerous point is the mystery you have made of your life and of this so-called hermitage. If you can clear up that, .you can afford to ignore the rest," "The misfortunes of my house!" was his sole response. "The misfortunes of my house!" Deborah Made No Answer. She Could Not Yet Trust Her Voice. hated Etheridge—the obtrusive mentor who came between him and yourself." "Hated?" "Yes, there is proof." He did not ask where. PosBlbly he knew. And because he did not ask she did not tell him, holding on to her secret in a vague hope that so much at least might never see light "I knew the boy shrank sometimes from Algernon's company," the Judge admitted, after another glance at her face; "but that means nothing in a boy full of his own affairs. What else have yon against him? Speak up! I can bear it all" "He handled the stick that—that—" "Never! Now you have gone mad, 1 would he willing to end my days in an asylum if that would disprove this fact." "But, madam, what proof—what son can yon have for an assertion moBBtrons?** T o n remember the shadow I which was not that of John Scoville? who made that shadow waa whittling a, stick; that was a trick of Outer's.

Suddenly he faced Deborah again The crisis of feeling had passed, and he looked almost cold. "You have had advisers," said he. "Who are they?" "I have talked with Mr. Black." The judge's brows met. "Well, you were wise," said he. Then, shortly, "What is his attitude?" Feeling that her position was fast becoming intolerable, ehe faltertngly replied, "Friendly to you and Oliver, but, even without all the reasons which move me, sharing my convictions." "He has told you so?" "Not directly; but there was no misjudging his opinion of the necessity you were under to explain the mysteries of your life. And it was yesterday we talked; not today." Like words thrown Into a void, these slow, lingering, half-uttered phrases seemed to awaken an echo which rung not only in his inmost being, but In hers. Not till in both natures silence had settled again (the silence of despair, not peace), did he speak. When he did it was simply to breathe her name. "Deborah?" Startled, for it had always before, been "madam," she looked up to find him standing very near her and with his hand held out. "I am going through deep waters," said he. "Am 1 to have your support?" "Oh, Judge Ostrander, how can you doubt it?" ehe cried, dropping her hand into his, and her eyes swimming with tears. "But what can I do? If L remain here I will be questioned. If I fly—but, possibly, that is what you want—for me to go—to disappear—to take Reuther and sink out of all men's sight forever. If this Is your wish, I am ready to do i t Gladly will we be gone—now—at once—this very night. His disclaimer was peremptory. "No; not that I ask no such sacrifice Neither would it avail. There is but one thing which can reinstate Oliver and myself in the confidence and regard of these people. Cannot you guess it, madam? I mean your own restored conviction that the sen tence passed upon John Scoville was a just one. Once satisfied of this, your temperament is such that you would be our advocate whether you wished it or no. Your very silence would be eloquent" "Convince me; I am willing to have you, Judge Ostrander. But how can you do so? A shadow stands between my wishes and the belief you mention. The shadow cast by Oliver as he made his way towards the bridge, with my husband"s bludgeon in his hand." "Did you see him strike the blow? Were there any opportune shadows to betray what happened between the instant of—let us say Oliver's approach and the fall of my friend? Much can happen in a minute, and this matter is one of minutes, Scoville had a heart open to crime, Oliver not This I knew when I sat upon the bench fit his trial; and now you shall know i t too. Come! I have something to show you." He turned towards the door and mechanically she followed- Her thoughts were all in a whirl. She did not know what to make of him or of herself. The rooted dread of weeks was stirring in its soil This suggestion of the transference of the stick from hand to hand was not impossible Only Scoville had sworn to her, and that, too, upon their child's head, that he had not struck this blow. And she had believed him after finding the cap; and she believed him now. Tea. against her wilL she believed him now. War? and again, why?

Don't Make The Mistake Of thinking that you're savins money by not advertising that old furniture in the garret; those useless implements in the shed; that old buggy in the barn; that cow you want to sell if you had a buyre- all the things for which you have no use. As a matter of fact you are saving money for the want ad, but sacrificing the dollars that might be "gained by making the sales, to say nothing of the satisfaction of trading useless stuff (to you) for actual money, and letting someone else take what you have to use. There's hardly anything that someone can't use--read the Want Ads today and see. Use them yourself at lc per word.

HIGHER RATES ARE HELD UP New Freight Schedule On Live Stock Is Objected To. Lansing—On the petition of the Michigan Livestock Dealers' association and several individual shippers of stock, the state railroad commission Friday suspended completely a new schedule of rates for livestock which the railroads had planned to put Into effect next Monday. The complainants aver that the new rates wonM be so high as to be almost confiscatory. Tariffs hare been filed with the commission for some time, bet the petitions against them filed Friday constitute the first objection on record. The proposed rates show an average increase on livestock freight of about 20 per cent to Detroit and Bay City, the only two cities inside the state that have cattle markets, but the increase is also shown to points outside the state. The railroads opposed by the dealers' association are the New York Central (including the Lake Shore), Grand Trunk, the Pere Marquette, Michigan Central and Ann Arbor, while individual parties fQe petitions against the Detroit k.

Ferris has appointed Alof Manistee, as ctr- Lansing—The state board of health is to have $10,000 additional added to its regular appropriation this session, which Secretary Burkart says will be used to fight tuberculosis for the state board of health Is $15,000. The house committee has reported out favorably a bill carrying a $25,000 appropriation, and this additional amount will be expended in a fight against the white plague. "1 wish the amount could have been larger, so that we could have proven to the people that the money would be well expended," said Dr. Burkart. "However, I think that by careful figuring we can show $50,000 results with the $10,000 we will devote to fighting the disease." This amount that will be expended fighting tuberculosis and the appropriations given the two sanatoriums will assist materially in lending state aid to what private individuals will do during the next two years. The house committee on public health has favorably reported ~ the state board of healths bill providing that, while power shall remain with the governor to appoint the secretary of the board; who shall also be the administrative officer of the department, the board shall designate who shall be appointed. The bill has already passed the senate. The board, before having the bill introduced, asked the present secretary, Dr. Burkart, if this arrangement would be agreeable to him. The doctor assured them that it would be. The understanding is that the board, as soon as the bill becomes a law, win designate Dr. Burkart for secretary for a full term of six years, and that Gov. Ferris will appoint him. ITEMS OF STATE INTEREST While trying to drive across the Grand Trunk tracks ahead of a fast passenger train near Otterburn Saturday night.

A curious crowd of neighbors Invade the mysterious home of Judge Ostrander, county Judge and eccentric recluse, following a veiled woman who proves to be the-widow of a man tried before the judge asti electrocuted for murder years before. Her daughter Is engaged to the judge's son. from whom he is estranged, but the murder Is between the lovers. She plans to clear her husband's memory and asks the Judge's aid. Deborah Scoville reads the newspaper clippings telling the story of the murder of Algernon Etheridge by John Scovillo In Dark Hollow, twelve years before. The judge and Mrs. Scovllie meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows him how. on the day of the murder, Bhe saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap. The Judge engages her aid her daughter Reuther to live with him in his mysterious home. Deborah and her lawyer. Black, go to the police station and see the stick used to murder Etheridge. She discovers a broken knife-blade point embedded in It Deborah and Reuther go to live with the judge. Deborah sees & portrait of Oliver, the judge's son, with a black band painted across the eyes. That night she finds, In Oliver's room, a cap with a peak like the shadowed one, and a knife with a broken blade-point Anonymous letters and a talk with Miss Weeks Increase her suspicions and fears. She finds that Oliver was In the ravine on the murder night Black warns her and shows her other anonymous letters hinting at Oliver's guilt In the court room the judge Is handed an anonymous note. The note is picked up ar\d read aloud. A mob follows the Judge to his home. Deborah tells him why suspicion hat been aroused against Oliver. CHAPTER XIII—Continued. Once within the room, he became his courteous self once more. "Be seated," he begged, indicating a chair to the half gloom. As she took It, the room sprang into sudden light He had polled the string which regulated the curtains over the glased panes in the celling. Then as quickly all was gloom again; he had let the string ee- . cape from his hand. "Half light is better/' he muttered in vague apology. It was a weird beginning to an Interview whose object was as yet in* comprehensible to her. One minute a blinding glimpse of the room whose details were so varied that many of them still remained unknown to her— the next, everything swept again into shadow through which the tall form of the genius of the place loomed with melancholy suggestion! She was relieved when he spoke. "Mrs. Scoville (not Deborah now) have you any confidence in Oliver's word? Has there ever been anything in his conversation as you knew it in Detroit to make you hesitate to reply?" the judge persisted, as she continued speechless. "No; nothing. I have every confidence in his assertions. I should have yet, if it were not for this horror." "Forget it for a moment Recall his effect upon you as a man, a prospective son-in-law—for you meant him to marry Reuther." "I trusted him. I would trust him in many ways yet.H "Would you trust him enough to believe that he would tell you the truth if you aaked him point-blank whether his hands were clean of crime V Tea." The word came 1A a whisper; but there was no wavering in i t She had felt the conviction dart like an arrow through her mind that Oliver might slay a man In his h a t e - might even conceal his guilt for years —but that he could not lie about It when brought faoe to face with an accuser like herself. T h e n I win let you read something he wrote at my request those many years ago: An experience—the tale of one awful Bight, the horrors of which, locked within his mind and mine, have never been revealed to a third person- That yon should share our secret now, Is not only necessary, but fitting. It becomes the widow of John Scoville to know what sort of a man she persists In regarding innocent Wait for ana.'* With a qnick step he wound his way among the various encuaubertag pieces of furniture to his bedroom, jgere he lingered so long that wttssovt nay conscious ToUtton of her own sss) found herself on her feet, tat ahe had not had time to reseat terasif when ahe beheld adm annroaehiafwtth the handle of loose sheets clutched In his hand.

Thank God! the manuscript was legible. Oliver's handwriting possessed the clearness of print She had begun^o read before she knew it, and having begun, she never paused till she reached the end, I was fifteen. It was my birthday and I had nay own ideas of how I wanted to spend it My hobby was modelling. My father had no sympathy with this hoLby. To him it was a waste of time better apent in study or such sports as would fit me for study. When on the day I mention I had a few hours of freedom, I decided to begin the remodeling in clay of an exquisite statue which had greatly aroused my admiration. This statue stood la a forbidden pk.ce. It was one of the art treasures of the great house on the bluff commonly called Spencer's Folly. I had seen this marble once, when dining there with father, and was so impressed by its beauty that it haunted me night and day. The boy of fifteen would attempt the impossible. I procured my clay and then awaited my opportunity. It came, as I have said, on my birthday. There was no one living in the house at this time. Mr. Spencer had gone West for the winter. The servants had been dismissed, and the place closed. What to every other person in town would have seemed an insuperable obstacle to this undertaking, was no obstacle to me. I knew how to get in. "I Want You to Sit Here .and Read," SaJdjHs. One day in my restless wanderings about a place which had something of the nature of a shrine to me, I had noticed that one of the windows (a swinging one) overlooking the ravine moved aa the wind took i t Bather the lock had given way or It had not been properly fastened. If T could only bring myself to disregard the narrowness of the ledge separating the house from the precipice beneath I felt that 1 eould reach this window and sever the tines sufficiently for my body to press in; and this I did that night I let myself go—I had to—and immediately found myself «»««"ftig upright in n spsee so narrow I could touch the wnBs on either side. It was a closet I had entered, opening into the huge dining halt where I had once sat beside my father at the one formal meal of my life. I remembered that room; it had made n grant impression upon me, and some Ught finding its way through the panes of nnenrtalned glass which topped each of the three windows orersoekinf the ravine, X noon was ante to the door teasing Into the drawing before the glimmering marble and unrolled my bundle of wet clay. I began my work, then I began to realize a little the nature of the task I had undertaken and to ask myself whether if I stayed ail night I could finish it to my mind, it was during one of these momenta of hesitation that I heard the first growl of distant thunder. But the thunder growled again and my head rose, this time in real alarm A man—two men were entering by the great front door. I beard a loud laugh, and the tipsy exclamation of a voice I knew: "There! shut the door, can't you, before It's blown from its hinges? You'll find 37erything jolly r ere. Wine. lights, solitude, in which to finish our game and a roaring good opportunity to sleep afterwards." The answer I failed to catch I was simply paralyzed by terror. As the door of the room opened to admit them, I succeeded in shutting that of the closet into which I had flung myself— or almost so. I did not dare to latch it, for they were already in the room and might hear ma "This is the spot for us," came in Spencer's most jovial tones. "Big table, whisky handy, cards right here in my pocket, ^yait. till I strike a light!" ~ A gas jet shot up, then two, then all that the room contained. "How's that? What's a flash more or less now!" I beard no answer, only the slap of the cards as they were flung onto the table; then the clatter of a key as it turned in some distant lock. The bottles were brought forward and they sat down one on each side of the dusty mahogany table. The man facing me was Spencer, the other sat with his back my way. "We'll play till the hands point to three," announced Spencer, taking out his watch and laying it down where both could see i t "Do you agree to that?—unless I win and your funds go a-begging before that hour." "I agree." The tone was harsh; it was almost smothered. The man was staring at the watch; there was a strange set look to his figure; a pausing as of thought—of sinister thought I should now say; then I never stopped to characterize it; it was followed too quickly by a loud laugh and a sudden grab at the cards. "You'll win! I feel It in my bones," came In encouraging tones from the rich man. "If you do"—here the storm lulled and bis voice sank to an encouraging whisper—"you can buy the old tavern up the road. It's going for a song; and then we'll be neighbors and can play—play—" . . . The bills had all* gone one way. They fell within Spencer's grasp. Sud> denly hard upon a rattling peal which seemed to unite heaven and earth, I heard shouted out: "Half-past two! The game stops at three." "Damn your greedy eyes!" came back in a growl. Then all was still, fearfully still, both in the atmosphere outside and In that within, during which I caught sight of the stranger's hand moving slowly around to his back and returning as slowly forward, all under cover of the table-top and a stack of half-empty bottles. "I can buy the Claymore tavern, can I? Well, I'm going to," rang out into the air as the speaker leaped to his feet "Take that, you cheat! And that! And that!" And the shots rang out—one, two, three! Spencer was dead in his Folly. I had seen him rise, throw up his hands and then fall in a heap among the cards and glasses. Then the man who stood there alone turned slightly and I saw his face. I have seen it many times since; I have seen It at Claymore tavern. He put the weapon hack in his pocket and began gathering up the money. When every bill was in his pockets he reached out his hand for the watch. Then I saw him smile. He smiled as he shut the case, he smiled as he plunged it in after the bills. Next moment I woke to a realization of myself and all the danger of my own position. I had the instinct to make a leap for the window over my head and clutch at its narrow sill in a wild attempt at escape. But the effort ended precipitately. He was coming toward me—a straining, panting figure—half carrying, half dragging, the dead man who flopped aside from his arms. My senses blurred and I knew nothing till on a sudden they cleared again, and I woke to the blessed realisation that the door had been pushed against my slender figure, hiding it completely from his sight snd that this door was now closed again and this time tightly, and I was safe—safe! The relief sent the perspiration in a reek from every pore; hot the icy revulsion cams quickly. As I drew up to gat a hotter purchase on the em, heavens torch was suddenly lit Hjcameapitef aand wkk* I saw body, with the wall and . I 1 wl ich would rid me Instantly of an3 pro.-imity to this hideous object I flung myself at It—found the knob— turned It and yelled aloud—my foot had brushed against him. 1 knew the difference and it sent me palpitating over the threshold; but no farther. Love of life had returned with my escape from that awful prison house, and I halted in the semldarkneas into which I had plunged, thanking heaven for the thunder peal which had drowned my loud cry. For I was not yet safe. He was still there- He had turned out all lights but one. He had not seen me and was going. I could hear the sound of bis feet as he went stumbling in his zigzag course towards the door. Then every sound both on bis part and on mine was lost in a swoop of down-falling rain and I remember nothing more till out of the blackness before me, he started again into view, within the open doorway where in the glare of what he called heaven'B candles he stood, poising himself to meet the gale which seemed ready to catch him up and whirl him with other inconsequent things into the void of i nothingness. Then darkness settled J again and I was left alone with Murder— all the innocence of my youth • * l *». He Had Not Seen Me and Was Going. gone, and my soul a very enamel house. I had to re-enter that closet; had to take the only means of escape proffered. But I went through it as we go through the horrors of nightmare. I simply did it and escaped a l l - lightning flash and falling limb, and the lasso of swirling winds—to find myself at last lying my full length along the bridge amid a Bhock of elements such as nature seldom sports with. Here I clung, for I was breathless, waiting with head buried in my aim for the rain to abate before I attempted a further escape from the place which held such horror for me! But no abatement came, and feeling the bridge shaking under me almost to cracking, I began to crawl, Inch by Inch, along its gaping boards till I reached its middle. There God stopped me. For, with a clangor as of rending worlds, a bolt hot from the tenlth, sped down upon the bluff behind me, throwing me down again upon my face and engulfing sense and understanding for one wild moment Then I sprang upright and with a yell of terror aped across the rocking hoards beneath me to the road, no longer battling with my desire to look hack; no longer asking myself when and how that dead man would be found; no longer even asking my own duty in the case; for Spencer's Folly was on fire and the crime I had just seen perpetrated there would soon be s crime stricken from the sight of men forever. In the flare of its tremendous burning I found my way up through the forest road to my home and into my father's presence. He like everybody else was up that night, and already alarmed at my continued absence. "Spencer's Folly is on fire," I cried, as he cast dismayed eyes at my pallid and dripping figure. "If you go to the door, you can see it!" But I told him nothing more. Perhaps other hoys of my age can understand my silence. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Skunks Enemies of Caterpillar*.

KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM EATING TOO MUCH MEAT Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers—Meat Forms Uric Acid. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the elimlnative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained In the blood to poison tbe entire system. J When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains In tbe back or the urine ia cloudy, full of sediment, or tbe bladder Is Irritable, obliging you to seek relief during tbe night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dlrry spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes aad lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate* clogged kidneys, to neutralise the acids in urine so it is BO longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders.

In planting a perennial flower garden one must spare a corner, or atrip of ground, for the hardy bulba which come up from year to year with very little care, excepting the general care which flower lovers all give to their gardens such as keeping the weeds down, fertilizing the ground in the fall, and loosening the earth in the springtime. Scilla Siberlca is very satisfactory, it being one of the first bright-blue flowers to greet us, for it comes in crocus time. Then there Is the Scilla Campanulata, or Spanish bluebell. These bulbs, grown in masses with snowdrops, grape and feathered hyacinths, are charming In effect My crocuses are planted in the lawn and are done blooming before the mowing machine is run over that part of the grass. I find the Roman hyacinth will Increase from year to year if left in the ground. ^ While Roman hyacinths are catalogued as not hardy, 1 have them here In my garden in southern Connecticut, and their sweet, graceful blossoms greet one in May time, if I give them a very light covering of rough manure late In the fall. In my hardy bulb border I have some old-fashioned double white tulips, and these with a few of the Cottage Garden tulips of brilliant colorings make a gay'showing all through May. They may be left in the ground from year to year and need no winter protection. All There. "She talks like a book." "Tea, the volume of her speech is truly wonderful!"—Judge.

Teachers and parents alike are realizing the added benefits, both mental and physical, to the child student of nature from work in the great out of doors. The elementary classes In the public schools of New York are allowed fcO minutes a week, divided into two periods of 45 minutes each, for nature study. Vacant lots adjacent to the schools are converted into gardens, where practical Instruction is given out of doors. Prises are offered the children for the best results in the school garden and added interest is given by a reward for a continuation of the good J KEEPING U P J H E LAWN Kin weeds on the lawn by either pulling or cutting off the plant below the crown. Don't mow the lawn too closely during the heated term, but do not allow weeds to go to seed. Deep working, thorough pulverisation, effective fertilisation and a thorough raking and rolling down to a smooth level are all nee senary to a fine, smooth sod. Get your lawn asses of a raftslile and ask for tbo beat and Don't not old seed left work in the home garden. By securing the children's aid, permanent improvement in the physical condition of the neighborhood is assured. Deficient, ungraded children . have found great delight In the garden and have proved themselves capable of understanding how to plant and care for the crops. To this end, a brighter future has been secured for children, who, by the beneficent healing of the great Mother Nature, have found a little niche they can adequately fill in the scheme of things, and instead of a burden to the community they will become useful members of society. A commercialised farm has been secured, the earnings of which will be apportioned to the young workers as their reward. the heat is over and showers are almost sure to come, and the young grass will have several months of cool, moist weather in which to grow before winter SOME SUMMER FLOWERS A bed of nasturtiums will supply blossoms until frost comes. In planting mixed sweet pens you can tell whether they wfll be dark or Hani by the osier of Use aeede. Man the dtatarent varieties of a ft* m «1 OF VEAL AND CHICKEN ONE OF THE BE8T OF ALL THE ACCEPTED 8ALADS. Whether Made of Leftovers or the Fresh Material, There Are Certain Rules Which the Housewife Must Observe. Unless the salad Is to be made of leftovers, the chicken should be especially boiled, carefully seasoned while cooking and allowed to cool in the water in which it is cooked. A generous piece of yeal may be cooked at the same time with the chicken, or cold veal can be warmed over In the chicken broth or in hot Bait water, to which a few chicken bones have been added. It also should be allowed to stand in the water In which it has been heated until cold, then cut up into even dice and used the same as chicken. Where a large quantity of salad is to be made one good size chicken, freshly cooked, as a basis with, an addition of veal and SB much more canned chicken as is necessary to make up the amount required, will be found an economy of both money and labor. In boiling a chicken for salad, put into a kettle of boiling water, add a chopped onton, a couple of sticks of celery or a half teaspoonful of celery salt, a couple of bay leaves, a tablespoonful of chopped carrot and a dozen, peppercorns. Just a tiny bit of fat salt pork may be added if desired. Let the contents of the kettle boil rapidly five minutes, then push back where the water will only simmer, until the chicken is tender. Cooked in this way the dark meat will be almost as light colored as the white. Now let the chicken cool In the water in which it has been cooked. It is well to cook both chicken and veal the day before the salad is to be used. When ready to make the salad, remove the flesh from the bones, rejecting all the skin and fat, cut the meat Into dice and measure. Add as much or half as much aa veal, as desired. If the salad Is not to be served Immediately, sprinkle the meat with a little lemon Juice and §^t away. In a cold place. Cut Into dice enough crisp white celery to make about two-thirds the quantity of meat, and have ready a good mayonnaise. At serving time, mix with meat end over each quart of the mixture sprinkle a teaspoonful of Bait and half a teaspoonful of pepper. Moisten with some of the broth in which the chicken was cooked (for a dry salad is an abomination), and enough mayonnaise to coat every piece. Mix thoroughly but lightly and turn into salad bowl lined with lettuce leaves or on a platter where the leaves have been made into little cups, each sufficient to hold a helping of the salad. This looks pretty and makes the serving easier. Spread a little more mayonnaise on top of each service and garnish with stuffed olives or the little sweet red canned peppers and celery tips. A quarter pound of ahnonds blanched and quartered may be added to each pint of chicken and veal, if you desire something especially nice for a wedding or other entertainment Coffee Fritters. Coffee fritters may be made as follows: Into one-half pint of boiling hot strong coffee that has been strained, stir one-half cup butter. When this bolls up stir in one pint of flour; let cook five minutes, beating an the time, then take off and turn Into an earthen dish. When cool break fire eggs into a dish, but do not beat them, then turn one egg at a time into the cool mixture and beat with the hand till well mixed, which will be about twenty minutes. Drop the paste ia teaspoonfuls into boiling fat and fry until they crack open. Fill with coffee filling. Potato Puff. Take one-half pound of mashed potato and enrich it with a dessertspoonful of butter and a beaten egg yolk, and then add enough flour to enable you to roll the potato out on the pastry board. Cut into rounds, fold the potato paste over, wet the edges with egg yolk and pinch together. Coat with beaten egg and crumbs.

MONOPLANE IS TOO FRAIL Daring Aviator Attempta Peroendici* lar Drop to Thrill Exposition Crowd and Machine Falls Him. San Francisco—Lincoln Beachey, the aviator, was killed late Sunday when his aeroplane collapsed and plunged into San Francisco bay from a hight of 3,700 feet, while he was making an exhibition flight at the Panama-Pacific exposition. The body was recovered shortly af ter 5 o'clock. Beachey was completing his second flight of the day when the accident occurred In full view of thousands of spectators. Having previously electrified the crowd with a series of aerial somersaults, the airman sought to add an additional thrill by making one of the sensational perpendicular drops which usually featured his flights. The fatal fall was attributed to the fact that Beachey entrusted his life, for the first time in several years, to a monoplane. An exceptionally large crowd had been attracted to the fair grounds to see whether he would attempt the same breath-taking stunts in the new machine that he had performed In his biplane. On the first flight, all went well, and all the aviator's familiar tricks were indulged in with the exception of the perpendicular drop. This Beachey had saved for the climax. It proved too much of a strain for the frame of the monoplane. The machine was at an altitude of about 3,000 feet when Beachey shut off his power. For several thousand feet, it dropped head-on for the earth, and then the aviator grasped his control levers to adjust the planes for the graceful descent which had characterized his previous flights. At that point, the wings crumbled and the aeroplane, turning over and over in its fall, plunged into San Francisco bay, narrowly missing a veaael lying at the government transport docks.

Munn, Chelsea, Michigan Gone Over to the Enemy In the great fight that is on between right and wrong, Major Dan Morgan Smitn, of Chicago, who was general counsel for tho "National Model License League3, and without doubt the biggest brainiest man in the whole liquor camp, has changed his mind, It happened in this'way: Some two years ago the night before election two speakers were holding forth at Fremont, Ohio, Major Smith occupied the hall talking on the benefit of license, and Mrs. Florence Richard, President of the Ohio W. C. T. U. talked to a large crowd on the street. The next morning a blizzard raged, but on account of an engagement Mrs. Richard felt obliged to take an early car, As she was hurrying and struggling with a good sized valise a pleasant voiced gentleman said, "May I help you with your baggage:'" "Thank you, you surely may" she answered. As they entered the car they were greeted with cheers and laughter. "Well, what in the world is the matter?" efcclaini-- ed the gentleman.

They had insisted on paying the farmer's wife and as they brought them into the car one of them remarked *'I suppose that every one here will have some of this provender except Mrs, Richard, she won't because it was bought with a brewer's money". She replied, "don't be too sure about that, for years we women, have tried to get you orewera to pSi your money into bread and butter, and now that you have, we'll take some**. There were 4 8aloon keepers on the car and they with the others, cheered heartily. About midnight they reached the city, Mme going home, others to hotel*. Major Smith said to Mrs. Richard, "I have learned one Uriag if nothing more, a woman can talk oa all phaitt of tfce lienor R&SOLYE NOW That you'll try us for your spring suit.

Major 8mith is on the right side now and is kind enough to say, that that day on the snow bound car wad the turning point in his relations with the Model License League, He made his first prohibition speech at the "Ohio Dry" convention on the subject *'License fails to regulate more than Prohibition fails to prohibit". The National, Anti-Saloon League has secured his service for the greater part of the year. M.

VOLUME OF FIGURES GIVEN Together With Advance In Freight Tariff* Roads Would Profit Over Five Million* By Favorable Action. LanBing—Should the legislature authorize an increase of one-half cent a mile in passenger rates on Michigan lines the state railroad commission estimates that the annual increase in passenger earnings would be $3,815,- 390, according to a report filed Thursday with the senate. The report details a volume of figures tabulated by Edmunds Calkins, statistical expert of the commission. He says that $3,815,390 is a liberal estimate based on the most favorable conditions. In segregating passenger traffic in Michigan for the year ending June 80, 1913, the commission shows that the total passenger revenue was $2,- 071,645.19 on lines operating under a three-cent rate, making the average revenue a passenger for each mile $.02443. The total passenger earnings for the lines operating under a twocent rate, according to the figures of the commission, amounted to $15,138,- 494.33, or an average revenue a passenger a mile of $.0186«. The commission shows the total passenger traffic for the year 1913 as $17,230,- 139.52, or an average revenue a passenger per mile of $.01922. ACMhe request of the senate the raifroad commission also furnished an •stlmate of increased revenue under the 5 per cent advance in commodity freight rates, as $1,529,050.90. Thus the railroads are assured increased earnings of $1,529,030. The advanced freight rates, couples with the amount the railroads will earn If a 25 per cent Increase in passenger rates is authorized, will swell the earnings of the various roads to approximately $5,344,440.90.

Many Incendiary bombs were dropped on the capital and its suburbs. Many fires ensued, but were speedily checked by the firemen, who had been warned of the approach of the hostile aircraft. So far as- is known, no one was killed. The greatest damage done in the industrial suburb of Courbevoie, where several factories in which night work was being carried on and which had glass roofs, guided the kaiser's air destroyers and provided all too excellent targets. Two factories at Courbevoie were destroyed and one workman was seriously injured. A bomb of great size waa dropped on the building, destroying it and tearing a great hole in FOUNDER OF R. F. 0.

MANY DECISIONS GIVEN Supreme Court Disposes of Eighty- Six Cases In Two Day*' Time. Jackson—A stroke of apoplexy, suffered Wednesday, caused the death, at. his borne here, of James O'Donnell, originator of the rural free delivery system. Mr. O'Donnell was at one time editor of the Jackson Daily Citizen, and for 45 years was a leader In republican circles in the state. He was also recognized as a pioneer in the beet sugar industry in Michigan. He was 73 years old and had lived in Jackson for 65 years. Mr. O'Donnell served during the civil war, and purchased a weekly newspaper on his return here in 1864. Later this was made a daily. He was a presidential •lector In 1872, and four years later was elected mayor of Jackson and served two terms. In 1884 he was elected to congress, but was retired a t the end of eight years.

DRUGLESS HEALERS ARE HIT Supreme Court Holds That They Must Have Licenses. i¥ ^fc Lansing—The supreme court today, deciding that chiropractors must take out licenses and be registered before they attempt to practice medicine In Michigan. Issued what looks like a •weeping opinion on healing without drugs. D. J. Healey, a chiropractor at Beldlng, was arrested for the illegal .practice of medicine, having failed to be registered by the state board of registration In medicine. Circuit Judge Frank D. M. Davis, of Ionia, -dismissed the charges on the ground Hhat the practice of chiropractic did not come within the meaning of the state law compelling the registration of all practicing medicine and eurg- -3 » • . » • • . The supreme court says that Judge Davis i t wrong, and in saying so, in en opinion written by Justioe Joseph H, Steere, c o s m close to laying down ;aa iron-dad rale regarding all heal ort in the state who do not use drugs, provided they hold themselves out to the public to cure ills of the human mind and body. ITEM* OF STATE INTEREST LanBing—The supreme court handed down 43 opinions Thursday, and this number, with 48 Wednesday, makes a record of 86 for the two days' session. Thursday's opinions for the most part dealt with estates, there being at least a dozen cases along this line decided by the court, After suffering seven long years from paralysis from an injury sustained in a railroad wreck, after fighting his case in the courts of the state for over five years, Lewis J. Marshall, of Adrian, finally wins out in his contest and as a result the Wabash railroad will have to pay him the sum of $11,255.75 and several hundred dollars more in costs. The Bupreme court so ordered Thursday in an opinion rendered in the case. The Pray liquor bill, passed by a recent session of the legislature, is held constitutional in an opinion rendered in the case of Carl Wheeler, of Hillsdale. Wheeler operated a hotel and had liquor in one room of the hotel. He was arrested and convicted and the supreme court affirms the conviction by holding the law constitutional. Oil tank cars used by railroads in Michigan and owned by corporations not engaged in the railroad business are taxable by the state tax commission, according to a decision In which the court affirms a decision of the Ingham county circuit court, which said the state has a right to assess such cars for purposes of taxation. That a policeman killed while on duty does not come within the provisions of the workingmeh's compensation act and his widow cannot recovere from a city for his injuries, the supreme court announced Thursday in the case of Mrs. Gertrude Blysn against the city of Pontiac. The $1,000 verdict obtained by Myrtle Ida Norris of Detroit against the D. U. R. for injuries "sustained by falling into a hole in a street, was reversed by the supreme court because of an error in the Wayne county coort. ^ in Courbevoie also was turned into a mass of debris by a bomb, while all surrounding buildings within a radius of 600 yards had their windows shattered by the concussion. A bomb was dropped also on a little island in the Seine, between Neuilly and Courbevoie, which is a favorite summer resort of Parisians. The historic shop on the He de La Jatte was smashed to pieces by an acrid-smelling bomb. An official communication regarding the raid declares it served only to show how well the defensive arrangements would work out when put to the test. ERIE POST OFFICE ROBBED NEWS BRIEFS.

Few housewives realize the value of honey, yet in sweetening qualities it surpasses sugar Grapefruit, for instance, is much enhanced by a treat' ment with honey. Prepare as you would for breakfast when sugar i s used, only prepare the night before. Spread the fruit with a thick layer of honey and let stand till morning. It will then be found that the fruit has absorbed the honey. Apples baked with honey are another delicacy not too well known. In this recipe also the apples are prepared just the same as though for sugar. For six or eight apples take four tableBpoonfuls of honey. Mix with one cupful of fine bread crumbs and a hajf teaspoonful each of cinnamon and lemon extract Fill the apples, which have been peeled and cored, with the mixture and bake in a porcelain-lined baking dish that has been well greased. For bread pudding make a custard, using one cupful milk and three tablespoonfuls honey and a pinch of salt Bring to the boiling point and add two well-beaten eggs. Take from the fire and stir till cool, then pour over stale bread toasted lightly and dusted lightly with cinnamon. Bake in a moderate oven half an hour. Spice cake can be much improved by using boney instead .of sugar. Cream together one scant cupful butter and one and one-half cupfula honey. Add alternately two wellbeaten eggs, one-half cupful milk, three cupfuls flour in which two teaspoonfuls baking powder have been sifted, one cupful each of raisins and currants and due tablespoonful allspice. Bake In a moderate oven until brown. USING FRUIT THAT IS SOFT Various Methods by Which It May Be Prepared in Appetizing Way for the Table. Any fresh fruit that has become soft should be cooked at once with a little sugar added to make a sauce, or It can be made into jelly. Any left-over canned fruit may be rubbed through a sieve and used for a sauce. It may be put into ice cream or molded into a cornstarch or rice mixture. Apple parings and cores should be stewed to a pulp and then strained. This will make a Jelly which, spread on apple tart, will greatly improve i t It can also be uBed for flavoring tapioca pudding. Orange peel and lemon peel may be used for flavoring sauces and stewed fruits. They can be dried and kept in a glass-covered jar until used. Tomato Sauce for Baked Eggplant One-half can tomatoes, one-half tea- Bpoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful butter, one teaspoonful sugar. Let these cook 20 minutes.

Claymore tavern did change own* era. When I heard that a man by the name of Scoville had bought It, I went over to see Scoville. He was the man. Then I began to" ask myself what I ought to do with my knowledge, and the more I asked myself this question and the more I brooded over the matter the less did I feel like taking, not the public, but my father, Into my confidence. I had never donbted his love for me, but I had always stood in great awe of his reproof, and I did not know where I was to find courage to tell him all the details of this adventure. There is one thing I did do, however. I made certain inquiries here and there, and soon satisfied myself as to how Scoville had been able to come Into town, commit this horrid deed and escape without any one but myself being the wiser. Spencer and he had come from the West en route to New York without any intention of stopping off in Shelby. But once Involved in play they had got so interested that when within a few miles of the town, Spencer proposed that they should leave the train and, finish the game in his own house. Whether circumstances aided them, or Spencer took some extraordinary precautions against being recognised, will never be known. But certain It Is that he escaped all observation at the station and even upon the road. When Scoville returned alone, the storm had reached such a height that the roads were deserted, and he, being an entire stranger here at that time, naturally attracted no attention, and so was able to slip away on the next train with just the drawback of buying a new ticket I, a boy of fifteen, trespassing where I did not belong, was the only living witness of what had happened on this night of dreadful storm, in the house which was now a ruin. I realized the unpleasantness of 'the position In which this put me, but not its responsibility. If I were going to do anything I should hate done It at first—so I reasoned, and let the matter slide. I became interested in I. felt that if he had such doubts, they might be eased by this certainty of Scovtlle'a murderous tendencies and unquestionable greed. And they were; but as Scoville was already doomed, we decided that it was unnecessary to make public his past offenses. However, with an eye upon future contingencies, my father exacted from me in writing this full account of my adventure, which with all the solemnity of an oath I here declare to be the true story of what befell me in the house called Spencer's Folly, on the night of awful storm, September 11, 1895.

This was the document and these the words whtehV-Oeborah, widow of the man thus doubly denounced, bad been given to read by the father of the writer, in the darkened room which had been and still was to her, an abode of brooding thought and unfathomable mystery. No wonder tbat during its reading more than one exclamation of terror and dismay escaped her. There were so many reasons for believing this record to be an absolute relation of the truth. Incoherent phrases which had fallen from those long-closed lips took on new meaning with this unveiling of an unknown past Repugnances for which she could not account in those old days, she now saw explained. He would never, even in passing, give a look at the ruin on the bluff, so attractive to every eye but his own. As for entering its gates—she had never dared ao much as to ask him to do so. Then the watch! Deborah knew well that watch. She had often asked him by what stroke of luck he had got so fine a timepiece. God! was her mind veering back to her old idea as to his responsibility for the crime committed in Dark Hollow? Tea; she could not' help it. Denial from a monster like this—a man who with such memories and such spoil, could return home to wife and child, with some gay and confused story of a great stroke in speculation which had brought him in the price of the tavern it had long been his ambition to own—what was denial from such lips worth? The Judge was. right Oliver—whose ingenuous story had restored his image to her mind, with some of its old graces—had been the victim of circumstances and not John Scoville. Her thoughts had reached this stage and her hand, in obedience to the new mood, was lightly ruffling up the pages before her, when she felt a light touch on her shoulder and turned with a start The judge was at her back. How long he had stood there she did not know, nor did be say, but when upon feeling his hand upon her shoulder she turned, he was there; and while his lips failed to spealv his eyes vera eloquent and their question single and imperative, ,rWhat do you think of him now?" they seemed to ask, and rising to her feet she met him with a smile, ghastly perhaps with the lividnesa of the shadows through which she had been groping, but encouraging withal and soothing beyond measure to his anxious and harassed soul "Oliver is Innocent" she declared, turning once more to lay her hand In a flash Deborah was out of the room. When the Judge at last came forth, it was at Reuther'e bidding. A gentleman wished to see him in the parlor With a dark glance, not directed against her, however, the judge bade her run away to the kitchen and as far from all these troubles as she could, then, locking his door behind him. as he always did, he strode towards the front He found Deborah standing guard over an Ill-conditioned fellow, whose slouching figure slouched still mora under his eye, but gave no other acknowledgment of his presence. Passing him without a second look, Judge Ostr&nder found > Mr. Black awaiting him. Tbere was no bad blood-between these two, whatever their past relations or present BUsplcionB, and they were soon, shaking htmds with ©very appearance of mutual cordiality. The Judge was especially courteous "I am glad," said he, "of any occasion which brings you again under my roof, though frpin the appearance of your companion I judge the present one to be of no very agreeable character." "Judge, I'm your friend;" thus Mr. Black began. "Thinking you must wish to know who started the riotous procedure which disgraced our town today, I have brought the ringleader you wish to question him. Judge Ostrander wheeled about, gave the man a searching look, and failing to recognize him as any one he had ever seen before, beckoned him in. "I suppose," said he. when the lounging and insolent figure was fairly before their eyes, "that this is not the first time you have been asked to explain your enmity to my long-absent son." "Naw; I've had my talk wherever and whenever I took the notion. Oliver Ostrander hit me once. 1 was jest a little chap then and meanin' no harm to any one. I kept a-pesterin' of 'lm and he hit me. He'd a better have hit a feller who hadn't my memory. I've never forgiven that hit, and I never will. That's why I'm hittin' him now. It's Just my turn; that's all." "Your turn! Your turn! And what do you think has given you an opportunity to_turn on him?" "I'm not In the talkin' mood Just now," the fellow drawled, frankly insolent, not only in his tone but In hi a for all his sly innuendoes), Ao, therefore, hindered the lawyer from his purpose, by a quick gesture of so much dignity and resolve that even the lout himself was impressed and dropped some of his sullen bravado "1 have something to aay to this fellow." he announced "Perhaps he does not know his folly. Perhaps he thinks because I was thrown aback today by those public charges against my son and a string of insults (or which no father could he prepared, that 1 am seriously disturbed over the position into which such unthinking men as himself have pushed Mr Oil ver Ostrander I might be if there were truth in these charges or any serious reason for connecting my upright and honorable son with the low crime of s highwayman. But there is not I aver it and so will this lady here whom you have doubtless recognised for the one who has stirred this matter up. You can bring no evidence to show guilt on my son's part"—these words he directed straight at the discomfited poster of bills—"because there is no evidence to bring." Mr. Black's eyes sparkled with admiration. He could not have used this method with the lad, but he recognized the Insight of the man who could. bribes were a sign of weakness, so were force and counter-attack; but scorn—a calm ignoring of the power of any one to seriously shake Oliver here to answer for himself—that is. if Ostrander'S established position—that membrance came back upon me with a rush. A man—my father's friendwas found murdered in sight of this spot of old-time horror, and Scoville was accused of the act I was older now and saw my fault In all Its enormity. I was guilty of that crime—or so I felt In the first heat of sty sorrow and despair. 1 may even hare said so—in djeesns or lit some of my self-absorbed blooding* Though 1 certainly had not lifted the stick against Mr. Wheridgo, I had left the hand free which did, and this wag a sufficient ooeaslon for remorse—or so I truly felt I was JO affected by the thought that even my father, with Us own weight of troubles, noticed ay careworn face gad asked a o for an explanation Bit I hold him off until the vardiet wag ranked, and them I told him. 1 hod not sited Mi looks for. they soemod to the Jaatfea of that maa•• shoot his host for plunder is capable of a second crime holding out a similar Inducement Nothing now will ever make me connect Oliver with the crime at the bridge.

Her eyes were stlD resting mechanically upon tbat last page lying spread out before her, and she did not observe in Its fun glory tho first gleam of triumphant Joy which, la an probability, Judge Ostrander'S countenance had shown in yearn. Nor did he see* la the glad confusion of ta* moment tbo quick shudder with which she lifted her trembling hand away from thotfo paper* and look** an, aouarely at last.

I'm an honest hardworkln' man who can earn his own livin', and you can't pay me to keep still, or to go away* from Shelby a day sooner than I want to. I was goin' away, but I gave it up when they told me that things were bcginnln' to look black against 01 Ostrander—that a womaa-had come into town who was a-stirrtn' up things generally about that old murder for which a feller had already been lectrocuted, and knowin' somethin' myself about that murder and 01 Ostrander, I—well, I stayed." The quiet threat, the suggested possibility, the attack which wraps itself In vague uncertainty, are ever tho most effective. As his raucous voice, dry with sinister purpose which no man could shake, died out In an off en* sire drawl, Mr. Blank odgad a stop nearer tho judge, before ho sprang and caught tho :ouag fellow by tho coat, collar and gave him a very rigorous shake.'

If you're satisfied at thfnkln' my word's no good, that's your business. I know how I should feel if I was 01 Ostrander's father and knew what I know." "Let him go," spoke up a wavering voice. It was Deborah's. But the Judge was deaf to the warning. Deborah's voice had but reminded him of Deborah's presence Its tone had escaped him. He was too engrossed In the purpose he had in mind to notice shades of inflection. But Mr. Black had. and quick as thought he echoed her requeue "He is forgetting himself. Bet him go, Judge Ostrander." But that astute magistrate, wise in all other causes hut his OWJI, was no more ready now than before to do this "In a moment," he conceded "Let me first make sure that this man understands me. I have said that there exists oo evidence against my son. This I aver; and this the lady here will aver. You have probably already recognized her. If not, allow me to tell you that she is the lady whose efforts have brought back this case to the public mind: Mrs. Scoville, the wife of John Scoville and the one of all others who has the greatest interest In proving her husband's innocence. If she says, that after the most careful inquiry and a conscientious reconsideration of this case, she has found herself forced to come to the conclusion that justice has already been satisfied in this matter, you will believe her, won't you?" "I don't know," drawled the man, a low and cunning expression lighting up his ugly countenance "She wants to marry her daughter to your son. Any live dog is better than a dead one; I guess her opinion don't go for much." Recoiling before a cynicism that pierced with unerring skill the one Joint in his armor he knew to be vulnerable, the Judge took a minute in which to control his rage and then addressing the half-averted figure in the window said: Mrs. Scoville. will you assure this man that you have no expectations of marrying your daughter to Oliver Ostrander?" With a slow movement more suggestive of despair than any she had been seen to make since the hour of her indecision had first struck, she shifted in her seat and finally faced them, with the assertion: "Reuther Scoville will never marry Oliver Ostrander. Whatever my wishes or willingness In the matter, she herself is so m determined. Not because she does not believe in his integrity, for she does; but because she will not unite herself to one whose prospects In life are more to her than her own happiness." The fellow stared, then laughed: "She's a goodun/^he sneered. "And you believe that bdshf Mr. Black could no longer contain himself 1 believe you are the biggest rascal In town," he shouted.

The most recent advices from all points in Western Canada report, that conditions are apparent for an early spring. Farmers are going over the implements, getting their seeders ready for operation, the plows in shape for extended breaking, and there is a general optimism. A great many new settlers have already arrived, and the reports from Canadian Government agents in the United States point to the fact that in a few days there will begin the usual emigration from various of the Central and Western states. From the Eastern states the number of farmers going to Canada will be greater than in any past year. There has been a fairly large snowfall during the winter, which will greatly add to the precipitation of last fall, which in the opinion of oldtimers was in itself sufficient to insure a good crop during the present year. There will be very little tilled land that will be without a crop this year. The authorities, though, are pleading with the tanners to seed only such land as has had careful preparation, for rich as is the soil of Western Canada, it is no more fitted to produce good crops uncultivated than is that of any other land anywhere else. There have been accounts of failures in some portions of the agricultural districts of Western Canada, and also reports of small yields in some districts. A good deal of this is accounted for from the fact that notwithstanding the advice of men of experience, there are farmers who will persist in seeding land not properly prepared. This may be done this year, but those who cultivate on reasonable and logical methods will be certain of a paying crop. There is every reason to believe that the high prices of all kinds of grain will continue. With thousands and thousands of acres of land waiting for the husbandman to bring it forth with a crop, it is no wonder that Western Canada is continuing to prove such an inviting field for the agriculturist. 8eventy million dollars Is a conservative estimate of orders which came to Canada as the direct result of the war. Governments of the allies have been placing large orders in Canada and buying huge Quantities of supplies for cash. The total value of exports to Europe from Canada has Jumped about 15 per cent Bince the war started, while in certain lines the increases have been enormous. Therefore the results of the demand of the allies for war and other material 1B beginning to be felt in the financial life of the Dominion.

Those arrested during tbe fiscal year of 1914 took $68,000,000 of t h i s t o t a l , $14,000,000 more than those arrested In 1913 and $16,000,000 more than those arrested In 1912, which seems to Indicate that the American public is becoming leas rather than more sophisticated. Analysis of the annual reports of the !post office department for the fiscal jyear 1914, recently printed for public (distribution, with analysis of the four .preceding annual reports, gives the (figures mentioned. In considering the tribute which Americans are yielding each year to the mall swindlers it ishould be noted, however, that the total of $351,000,000, great as it is. is but ^a part of the stupendous total tribute which goes into dishonest pockets via the mail route each twelve months 'For the $351,000,000 is the estimate of the federal authorities of the haul only of those persons arrested. By no means all the mail swindlers 'pf the United States are arrested: fraud orders do the work of stopping their operations in some instances; In others it is impossible for the post office inspectors to obtain the evidence which would justify criminal court action; In still others the activities of the swindlers never come to the attention of the authorities at all Thus it is obvious that the loot of those arrested is but a part—no man can say how small or great a part—of the total sum of money filched each year by mail sharpers from the American pocketbook. The following is the record of the money estimated to have been obtained by mail swindlers actually arrested in the years mentioned* 1914 $68,000,000 1913 54.000.000 1912 52,000.000 1911 77,000.000 1910 100,000.000 XHxszrza&npz GKTB&VU, JLM3.BZ£RZZSCW Total $351,000,000 The number of persons arrested during the years tabulated was 2,861. If the money obtained had been divided equally between them each would have had a dishonest gain of $122,684, proof of tbe lucrative nature of swindles which are carried on by use of the mails. There were more arrests in 1914 than in any of the other years under consideration, the record of arrests and convictions being as follows: Arrests Convictions 1914 1913 1912 1911 1910 762 510 572 497 ........520 370 304 263 184 Not stated The division of winnings from the dupes was, however, naturally not equal; some of the promoters of the more elaborate schemes during the five years are stated by the federal authorities to have cleared millions, while others got hundreds of thou- In other cases the post office inspectors got on the trail of the swindlers before they had a chance to fleece any large number of victims. The scope of the fraudulent mat? business in this country may be gauged to some extent from the simple state* ment that 34,000 complaints concerning schemes to defraud were made to the post office department during the last fiscal year, in addition to the routine inspections of the post offices. Approximately 100 different kinds of swindles are included in the schemes whereby the mail operators have gathered in the coin of the innocent since 1910. Schemes for stock selling and for treating disease by mail are the two swindles which have netted more money than any other kinds. In the report of the solicitor for the post of* flee department It is stated that to 1914- of the frauds suppressed through the.issuance of fraud orders—which bar the mails to the schemes specified therein — the most profitable were those operated for the treatment of disease. In 1913, on the other hand, it was stated that "the stock selling proposition seems to appeal to the public more than any other one fraud scheme unearthed." Of the medical frauds the report for 1914 tays: "These schemes were insidious, TS» ctous^ and highly detrimental to. the public welfare, while the methods pursued were the most unconscionable with which the department had to steal. 1« view of certain decisions ef the courts they were alto the most nlflkcnK wftn which successful* to "At the hearings tn acts? of these U s testimony of the proprietors amination by counsel for the government showed that they had little education of any kind, and they made absolutely no claim to any knowledge of medicine. Invariably they were merely shrewd, unscrupulous advertisers. "Generally speaking they employed some man who had graduated as a doctor, but was without much experience or practice. The business was conducted in his name, and he was featured In the literature as a man of singular ability and great scientific attainment in the medical profession, who had spent years in the study of the particular ailments which he advertised to treat and who had made wonderful discoveries of remedies which would cure the diseases represented by a number of symptoms listed in the advertisements. "It was represented that such doctor and his alleged corps of assistants would give personal attention to each case, and that they would prescribe such remedies as they should find by their superior facilities and experience were needed to the treatment of any of the diseases they advertised to cure. Even in those instances where a doctor or doctors were connected with the business this was solely for the purpose of lending color to their fraudulent representatives, and the diagnosing and prescribing were nearly always made by mere clerks.N Of the stock selling swindlers those who have netted the largest amounts are those who have dealt with mining and oil properties, although big sums have also been coaxed out of pockets of the guileless by the golden promises of fortunes to be made from buying stock in land companies and even in industrial companies. One of the worst features of the stock selling schemes is that it is largely those who can least afford to lose who buy the worthless securities. In the gray old federal building of New York there have, within the last three years, been told stories on the witness stand by dupes which might well leave a perpetual blush of shame on the face of any man guilty of such contemptible swindles. In one trial, for instance, a pale little music teacher told how, after saving for eight years, she had managed to accumulate $460. She had then read one of the prospectuses of the swindlers who were sitting at the counsel table a few feet from Tier when she was giving her evidence. This prospectus had told her that her $400 would make her rich for life if she would only forward It at once for stock tn the astounding gold mine which the swindlers "owned. She wrote to the company, stating her position and how much of setf-sscrtflce the $400 meant to her, sad received hack "a toreiy letter** from the president, tefltag lav BOW mterested he was hi her sad now esrtata he WM hesbte to grra up fag annate if she woeid only forwsrd the $400 right away. And the Tittle the mosey, and md aha half tamtaC she finished her story in the witness chair. One of the few mall swindles which touched the wealthy classes exclusively was the so-called de luxe book swindle, by which volumes worth $10 or $20 were sold to rich and ignorant book collectors for prices running up to many hundreds.- Among other swindles carried on through the mails are inducing betting on "fake" horse races and athletic contests, selling worthless goods through misrepresentations, obtaining commissions on fraudulent orders, selling divining rods for locating minerals, using forged bills of lading In cotton deals, brokerage frauds, obtaining money by impersonating other persons, obtaining goods under false pretenses, selling state rights and establishing fictitious sgencies, selling unfair gambling devices, using "no-fund" checks, matrimonial schemes, selling canceled postage stamps and Mexican money, obtaining expense money on promise to sell stocks, collecting fees for imaginary positions, selling rights to a patent many times in the same state, securing advance payments on goods not delivered, obtaining payment from relatives of deceased per* sons for goods supposed to have been ordered before death, obtaining money from alleged heirs to estates, obtaining money to assist in securing fictitious inheritances, sales of sham recipes, trading in green goods, obtaining subscriptions for nonexistent charttable institutions, running sham employment bureaus, selling interests in nonexistent moving picture theaters, selling diplomas for which no study is required, failing to distribute advertising matter as called for by contract, and blackmail. In 1914 more fraud orders were issued than has been the esse for some time. In 1910 the post office authorities began to issue fewer fraud orders than had been customary in tbe belief that It would be better to prosecute criminally those operating fraudulent schemes. Whereas la 1909 there were 325 fraud orders, in 1910 there were but 131, and in 1911 only 77. There wss a still farther decrease la 1911. tbe number being 19. while tn 1913 there were only three fraud orders issued. The number in 1914 wss 46. It has been found that criminal prosecution is not always successful la stopping the operations indeed, the departmental reports state that in tome cases the swindlers hare eontinned the operation of their business daring arrest, trial, conviotkm and lav prtsotiment—-whereas frsnd ardors bar the mails to the operators of thw scheme.

Among the Mott Beautiful of Plants Are the Different Varieties of Ferhe, Cool Looking and Luxuriant. CARE OF THE PERNS By L. M. BENNINGTON. The ordinary way to propagate this class of plants is by dividing the plants, by the creeping rhizomes, by the little bulblets that form on the fronds and by the seeds or spores that appear on the under side of the leaves. The enterprising fern lover will find It most Interesting to propagate by spores and psrchance produce a really valuable addition to these beautiful and graceful plants. Procure a seed-pan or box with plenty of drainage holes, and cover the bottom with broken crockery. On KEEP LAWN WELL ROLLED To make a good lawn the soil requires frequent rolling. In the first place a good lawn cannot be produced in one, two or three years, that Is, a perfect lawn, without depression and with a soil surface as smooth as a floor. A lawn roller can be made, without much expense, from cement, using gas pipe for the axle and frame. The form for setting the cement may be of wood, using very narrow slats or galvanized iron. In case the latter is used, the form may be left on the roller, and if it is kept dry and protected from the weather, It will last a long time. A handy size for a lawn roller Is one about 20 inches long by 14 Inches In . diameter. If one has the proper tools, which consist of a vise and a thread-cutting tool, a roller can be made in a short time, and at very little expense. FIGHTING THE FLOWER BUGS If the leaves of your plants carl up look for Insects. If red spider deluge the plant (not the soil) wlfh clear, cold water. If aphis, fumigate with tobacco or wash them with strong soap suds, or with a tea made Of quassia chips, as hot as the hand can For white worms, let the soil get i dry aa may be, then set the pot a vessel containing quite hot war, taking care not to scald the Or, set the dry pot into a thiB place half-decayed sod and fill with carefnlly mixed and sifted leafmold and sand. Make the surface of the soil perfectly smooth and level, and then scat ter the spores on it and leave them without any covering, that is, of soil.

They are made and handled like a coldframe, but are built in a three-foot-deep excavation which is filled to the level of the earth with fresh stable manure, which for a few days has been fermented and forked and fermented again. It must be trodden down and, when the soil is at 90 degrees temperature, covered with six inches of rich soil. Bank up the outside. When the sun shine* the temperature of the air in the bed may be 70 to 80 and at other timet 65 to SO degrees. A hotbed extends the season of tender annuals by making possible an early start for transplanting in May. The Biggest Fool. Pat was strolling about one day with an Englishman. ?Tat," said the Englishman, "I will give that woman sixpence or every penny you give her." "Right," said Pat, and he gave her ninepence. When the Englishman had given her his share, "Pat," said he, "which of us was the biggest fool?" 'It was you," said P a t "No," said the Englishman, "It was you, for you gave her all you had."

"The great cities of the world," he said, "are all the time affording the means of their own destruction. It is not practible to bring up children in the big cities because of the moral dan gera that exist in them." These facts, then, afford ample excuse for the many movements under way to keep young people in the country and on the farms. These movements demand the most enthusiastic support and the wisest direction. To the citizens of rural communities this means that they most improve couditions and increase the opportunities and attractions of rural life until they are such as to offset those now thought to be afforded by the city. No Use to Try and Wear Oat Your Cold It Will Wear Yon Out Instead Thousands keep on suffering Coughs had Colds through neglect and delay. Why make yourself an easy prey to serious silmeuta and epidemic* as the result of a neglected Cola? Coughs and Colds sap your strength and vitality unless checked in the early stages. Dr. Kind's New Discovery is what you need—the first dose helps. Your head clears ups, you breathe freely and you feel so much better. Buy a bottle to-day and start taking at once. adv. Beer and Bread O. N. Marvin, editor Sentinel Post, say8 we are in receipt of an offer from the Master Brewers Association to furnish us ready made plates of articles in defence of beer. We decline the offer Mr. Brewer; your comparison of bread and beer is but one of many that might be made of things as wide apart as Heaven and Hell. The world needs every bushel of grain for food---for bread; it needs none for beer. The exhilaration that beer gives to the user is the hypocrite of human emotions, deceiving him into thinking that it gives him strength, but the most careful soieoti6o tests have shown that beer weakens the user. To liken beer to bread is sacrilege. Beer is a product of the life-giving cereals, but it the Judas Iscariot of the family. M.E. 8 . Pinckney, Michigan, within said township, on Monday, April 5, A.

S«?V f • • * » . . •>, PINCKNEY DISPATCH ASTER in the Holy Land is the most impressive occasion of the year, for thither throng pilgrims from all parts of the Christian world, deeply reverent with the spirit of the season. In Jerusalem they follow in the footsteps of Jesus on his march to the cross, and the procession that leaves the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, bearing a huge cross, and makes its way along the Via Dolorosa, offering supplications at the stations of the cross, Is a spectacle that never grows dim in the memory. Here, in the setting of the most pro< found tragedy in the history of the world, is incarnated the eternal spirit that had its expression 2,000 years ago, defying time and death and sweetening the world with tenderness 1 and love. Incense from fire and the Incense of prayer rise along the way, and hearts are hymned to tears, while the stolid Moslem looks on with impassive face. Next to a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the bathing in the river Jordan is one of the precious experiences of the peasants from Russia, Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey and other countries. Thousands journey to this holy stream to bathe, that they may be washed clean of their sins. And in the joy of the cleansing, those who are compelled to remain at home are not torgotten. So every pilgrim fills a bottle with the sacred water to be taken back on the tedious Journey. These reverent people even go to the extent of taking home branches and shrubs growing along the banks of the river. But one of the most picturesque sights Is the carrying away of sacred fire from the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. ,4«ef c&x&/xcaap /vje^r The pilgrims light their candles at IN THE SEASON OF REBIRTH Mankind Can See In Nature Awakent ing an Appeal to Hit Spiritual Feetinge. Between the penitential season of the religious year, which Ash Wednesday opens, and the weather of winter's decay and of spring's renewing, Is a mysterious bond of similarity which enhances the meaning of the observance. In the order of nature It Is a t i n e of the sloughing off of the old aad the quickening of the new; of the release of earth and streams from ley fetters and. snow -burial, and the deep, secret stirrings of new life. And these, if we will, are but the symbols of what may stir and quicken in us under the influence of this season of self-denlala, both of the great things and of the small. It is the season which reaffirms the mystery which, like deatii, no man understands until be has passed its portals by experience; the mystery, namely, that It U only by gdring u» that we acquire thtianother.their self Irrtnf and transmitgreatest gifts of life. We know that £ n t | u force and Influence to the comthe principle holds In the Uttte things, yet the fear of trying tt In the greet the shrine, and, jealously guarding the little flame from capricious winds and drafts, make the journey to Jaffa, board ship, and, throughout the sea voyage, often to the end of a rough journey over mountains by the most primitive means of transportation, unceasingly guard the treasure until they finally arrive among the expectant stay-at-homes with their blessings of fire and water. Pilgrims recall one Holy Week when, in upon the peaceful spirit of adoration, came the menace of Christian massacre—so the first alarm told .11—and in a few minutes thfl streets, swarming with picturesque crowds, were deserted, the shops and bazaars closed. But when the garrison of the city marched through the streets, headed by the band to allay the fears of the Christians, the Moslem population turned out—not to rise against the infidel, but just like the inhabi- EASTER. Lo! Morning breaks! The shades of nJffht Melt as a scroll in burning light; First day. creation's morn, the dawn Of this when life anew is born, Begotten of the parting^ breath.

Easter celebrations take on varied aspects all over the world, with curious customs and usages in the rural districts and spots remote from the great traveled highways. But it is in the foreign cities that one often sees the expression of the big, impressively picturesque note. This is especially so of the Latin countries. In Spain, for instance, one sees it, as well as In Italy and in France. But in all countries, though it is the time of outpouring, it is largely judged from an individual standpoint Easter in New York is different from Easter in Rome; and so the contrast may be carried along between many places. What is Easter to one man may not at all approach what another conceives to be the day—it may be too destitute of form and show, or too prodigal of it. Fields ot Lilies. Loveliest, perhaps of all the sights of nature are the fields of Bermuda lilies when in bloom.

Honolulu—The submerged submarine F-4 has been located outside the harbor, it was announced Sunday night. Portions of the superstructure have been brought to the surface. All hope of finding any of her crew alive waa abondoned Saturday. The positive statement was made here by Naval Constructor Julius A. Furer that the four submarines of the Hawaiian division were examined as to their stability only a month ago. He said that all were found in good condition. Earlier in the day there was bitter disappointment for the searchers when it was found by divers that what was supposed to have been the F-4, caught by grappling irons Saturday, was merely the anchor of a warship, supposed to be one lost by the Oregon. Divers Agraz and Evans went down the two cables thought to bave been attached "be* the submarine. Agraz, who went down the cable attached to the anchor, wore only a helmet. Diver Evans, who descended along the second cable, reported that he found nothing at the bottom. Agraz, whoee descent to a depth of 215 feet is said by naval authorities to be a world's record, spent 22 minutes on the downward journey and 9 1-2 minutes in the ascent. The experience apparently caused him no distress. Live Stock.

A resolution was unanimously passed requesting the government to obtain "by arms, the frontiers of Italy." After the meeting the crowd attempted to reach the Austrian embassy, but was charged by the troops and dispersed. Several arrests were made. Among those in attendance were senators, deputies and aldermen, and the representatives of more than 6,000 clubs and associations. Several orators made addresses, among them Slgnor Barseilal, a native of Trieste, who has been deputy for Rome for 25 years.

Our 8peech. Our very vocabulary is degraded; the most far-reaching symbols of our language come seldom into use, or appear with diminished meaning. Follow, for Instance, the course of the word "infinite" through the antics of contemporary literature. Our phraseology has become carnal; our vital terms are terms of physical life. Nowhere is the limitation of contemporary thought more apparent than in these instruments of speech. One must read again Wordsworth, Shelley, Carlyle, Ruskin, Arnold, Meredith, to meet great words now little employed, words that make you realize the utmost reach of life; In so doing, one pauses in dismay, realizing how full contemporary speech Is of lesser terms, how few employ the greater words that tell the Inner life of the soul.—From the Atlantic TELEGRAPHIC FLASHES Paris—Tha Duke de Montmorency, a prominent figure in the court of Napoleon III, died Thursday night at the ago of 78 years.

A grain expert who has been watch* * ing the grain markets and the world's ^ grain fields for a number of years^ %^,; ^ says:— £>ff£$i "There Is at the present time abouf^JT;^> two billion bushels of wheat, the pro- - * ductlon of the countries at war, tied up. This is about one-half the world's total production of wheat, which 1» four billion bushels. One writer argues that, granting that the warring nations produce a one-half crop in, the coming year, a deficit of one billion bushels will still be shown. Tho three countries upon which the filling of this deficit of one billion bushels will rest are the United States, Canada, and Argentina. The combined output of these three countries Is only 1,249,000,000, their exportable surplus would of course be much less, so it can easily be seen that the question la not one to be easily solved and it behooves all the above countries to increase their respective productions as much as they possibly can, for when the war is over and trade begins to re-establish itBelf and the nations undergo a process of rehabilitation, the demand for all breadstuffs will bo enormous. "During the three years following the declaration of peace the farmers of all neutral wheat-producing countries will have ample opportunity to market their wheat at good prices, and it may safely be assumed that tho demand will be heavy. Canada has an unusual opportunity in that sho has the natural environment for wheat production; she la under the protection of the British flag, and she will not be molested upon the water to any great extent; she can increase her acreage and greatly enhance her production. In other words, she can become a far greater wheat-producing country than she is at the present time," If the summing-up as made by this expert be correct, is there not the very best reason for the continued effort that is being made by the Government of the Dominion of Canada to secure settlers on the productive vacant lands of the country? Not only are these lands capable of producing high class wheat in large Quantities, but cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also do well. The climate la admirably sotted* «—Advertisement Purifying Gas With Electricity. Electricity is being employed with success at a Detroit coke oven for tbo purpose of removing tar from artificial gas in the purifying process, says Popular Mechanics. Tbe gas Is passed through a highly ionized field, which is produced by a high-tension discharge of current ranging as high aa 80,000 volts, with the result that the tar forms in large drops, which are then easily separated. There are no high-tension leads exposed, siace tho ioniser contains the transformer. Ever Thus.

A carious crowd of neighbors Invado ths mysterious home of Judge Ostrander, county Jadffe and eccentric recluse, tollowla* i veiled woman who proves to be the widow of a man tried before the judge and electrocuted for murder years before. Her daughter 1« engaged to the judge's •on. frost whom he Is estranged, but the murder Is between the lovers. She plans to dear her husband's memory and asks the Jesse's aid. Deborah Scoville reads the newspaper clippings telling the story of the murder of Algernon Etherldge by John BcovUle In Dark Hollow, twelve years before. The judge and Mrs. Bcovllie meet at Spencer's Folly and she shows b i n how, on the day of the murder, she saw the shadow of a man, whittling a stick and wearing a long peaked cap. The judge engages her and her daughter Reuther to live with him In his mysterious home. Deborah and her lawyer, Black, go to the police station and see the stick used to murder Etheridge. She discovers a broken knife-blade point embedded in i t Deborah and Reuther go to lire with the judge. Deborah sees a the judge's son, with a across the eyes.

She finis that Oliver was In the ravine on the murder night Black warns her and ssiows her other anonymous letters htnttag at Oliver's guilt In the court room the judge Is handed an anonymous note. The note Is picked up and read aloud. A mob follows the judge to his home. Deborah tells him why suspicion has been aroused against Oliver. The Judge shows Deborah a statement written by Oliver years/ago telling how he saw her husband muraer Spencer at Spencer's Felly on tfie night the house was burned. A' vain attempt to silence the anonymous letter writer Is made. CHAPTER XIV—Continued. "I didn't ask to see the ladies," protested Flannagan, turning with a Blinkin* gait toward the door. If they only had let him go! If the judge in his new self-confidence had not beea so anxious to deepen the effect and Make any future repetition of the situation impossible! "You understand the lady," he Interposed, with the quiet dignity which was so Imposing on the bench. "She has mo sympathy with your Ideas and no faith la your conclusions. She believes absolutely in my son's innocence." "Do you, ma'am?" The man had turned aad was surveying her with the dogged Impudence of his class. "I'd like to hear yon say it, if you don't mind, ssa'am. Perhaps, then, I'll believe it." "X—" she began, trembling so, that she failed to reach her feet, although she made one spasmodic effort to do to. "I beMeve—Oh, I feel ill! It's been too much—I—" her head fell forward and she turned herself quite away from them all. "You see, she ain't so eager, jedge, as you thought." laughed the bill-poster, with a clumsy bow he evidently meant to be sarcastic "Oh, what have I done!" moaned Deborah, starting up as though she would fliag herself after the retreating figure, now half way down the hall. She saw in the look of the judge as he forcibly stopped her, and heard In the lawyer's whisper as he bounded past them both to see the fellow out: "Useless; nothing will bridle him now;" aad finding no support for her despairing spirit either on earth or, as she thought, in heaven* she collapsed where she sat and fell unnoticed to the floor, where she lay prone at the feet of the equally unconscious figure of the judge, fixed la another attack of hit peculiar complaint And Urns the lawyer found them whaa he returned from dosing the gate behind Flannagan.

I noticed that she was not at peace with herself when she came into the room,** - What's thatr The tone was short, and for the first time Irritable. "The change, if there was a change, was not so sudden as you think. She looked troubled, and as I thought, Irresolute when she came into the room." "You don't know her; you don't know what passed between us. She was all right then, but—go. to her, Black. She must have recovered by this time. Ask her to come here for a minute. I won't detain her. I will wait for her warning knock right here." The judge had declared his necessity to be greater than hers, and after Mr. Black had subjected him to one of hia most searching looks he decided that this was so, and quietly departed noon his errand. The judge left alone, sat, a brooding figure in his great chair, with no light in heart or mind to combat the shadows of approaching night settling heavier and heavier upon the room and upon himself with every slow passing and intolerable minute. At last, when the final ray had departed and darkness reigned supreme, there came a low knock on the door. Then a troubled cry: "Oh, Judge, >ire you here?" "Don't come any nearer; it is not necessary." A pause, then the quick question ringing hollow from the darkness: "Why have your doubts returned? Why are you no longer the woman you were when not an hour ago and In this very spot you cried, 'I will be Oliver's advocate!'" Then, as no answer came—as minutes passed, and sail no answer came, he spoke again and added: "I know that you are ill and exhausted—broken between duty ai~d sympathy; but you must answer me, Mrs. Bcovllie. My affairs won't wait I must know the truth and all the truth before this day Is over." "You shall." Her voice sounded hollow, too, and, oh, how weary! "You allowed the document you showed me She Lay at the Feet of the Unconscious Figure of the Judos. to remain a little too long before my eyes. That last page—need I say ttT" "Say it" "Shows—shows change, Judge trander. Some words have erased and new ones writtaa in. They are not many, but—** 1 understand. I do not blame, yoa, Deborah."

No, don't speak; just ask Mr. Black to return, will you?" When Mr. Black re-entered the study. It waa to find the room lighted &nd the Judge bent over the table, writing. MYou are going to send for Oliver?" he queried. The Judge hesitated, then motioning Black to sit said abruptly: "What is Andrews' attitude In this mattcrr Andrews was Shelby's district attorney. Black's answer was like the man. "I saw him for one minute an hour ago. I think, at present he is inclined to be both deaf and dumb, but If he's driven to action, he will act And. Judge, the man Flannagan isn't going to stop where he la." "Black, be merciful to my misery. What does this man know? Have you any idea?" "No, Judge, I haven't He's as tight as a drum—and as noisy. It is possible —Just possible that he's as empty. A few days will tell." "I cannot wait for a few days. I hardly feel as if I could wait a few hours. Oliver must come, even if—if the consequences are likely to be fatal. An Ostrander once accused cannot skulk. Oliver has been accused and —Send that!" he quickly cried, pulling forward the telegram he had written. Mr. Black took up the telegram and read: Come at once. Imperative. No delay and no excuse. ARCHIBALD OSTRANDER. "Mrs. Scoville will supply the address," continued the poor father. "You will see that it goes, and that its sending is kept secret. The answer, if any is sent, had better be directed to your office. What do you say, Black?" "I am your friend, right straight through, Judge. Your friend." "And my boy's adviser?" "I'm a surly fellow, judge. I have known you all these years, yet I've never expressed—never said what I even find it hard to say now, that— that my esteem is something more than esteem; that—that I'll do anything for you, judge." "I—we won't talk of that Black. Tell Mrs. Scoville to keep me Informed —and bring mo any message that may come. The boy, even if he leaves the first thing In the morning, cannot get here before tomorrow night" "Not possibly." "He will telegraph. I shall hear from him. O Ood! the hours 1 must wait; my boy! my boy!" It was nature's irrepressible cry. Black, pressed his hand and went out with the telegram. CHAPTER XV. He Must Be Found. Next morning an agitated confab took place at the gate, or rather between the two front gates. Mr. Black rang for admittance, and Mrs. Bcovllie answered the call. "One moment Mrs. Scoville. How can I tell the Judge! Young Ostrander is gone—fled the city, and I can get no clue to his whereabouts. I have been burning the telegraph wires ever since the first dispatch, and this is the result Where Is Reuther?" "At Miss Weeks. I had to command her to leave me alone with the judge. It's the first time I ever spoke unkindly to her Have you the messages with you?" He bundled them into her hand. "I will hand them In to him. We can do nothing less and nothing more. Then If he wants you, I will telephone." "Mrs. ScoviUe—" she felt his hand laid softly on her shoulder—"there is some one else in this matter to consider besides Judge Ostrander." "Reuther? Oh, don't I know it! She's not out of my mind a moment" "Reuther Is young, and has a gallant soul I mean you, Mrs. Scoville, you. Yoa are not to succumb \o this trial Yoa have a future—a bright future— or should have. Do not endanger It by giving up all your strength now. It's precious, that strength, or would "He must be found! Oliver mast be found!" How the words rung tn bar ears. She had handed in the massagas to the waiting father; she had uttered a word or two of explanation, aad then, at bis request had left him. Bat his last cry followed bar: "Ha mast be found!" Mr. Black looked sartoas. "Pride or hope?" ha asked. "Desperation," aha responded, with a guilty look about bar. "Possibly, aossa hops Is in I t too. Perhana, ha thinks that any charge of this nature fall before Oliver's manly ap» Whatever ha thinks, there Is hat oaa thing to do: Find Oliver." "Mrs. BcoviDe, tha police have started upoo that attempt I got tha tip this morning." "Wa mast forestall them. To satisfy tha Judge, Ottvar must coma of his own accord to faca those ehargaa." 1t*s a brave stock. If Oliver gats kda father's tatagraai ha will ooma." wa ts reach hiss! Wa ara abaotataty ia tha Hark." "If I could go to Detroit I might strike some clue; but I cannot leave the judge. Mr. Black, he told me this morning when I carried In his breakfast that be should see no one and go nowhere till I brought him word that Oliver was in the bouse. Tha hermit life has begun again. What shall we do? Advise me in this emergency, for 1 teal as helpleas as A child —as a lost child" "You say you cannot go to Dettatt Shall I go? Court is adjourned. I know of nothing more Important thaa Judge Ostrander's peace of mind—unless it is yours. I will go if you say so." "Will It avail? Let me think. I knew him well, and yet not wall enough to know where he would ba «\oat likely to go under impulse." "There is some one who knows him better than you do." "Reuther? Oh, she mustn't be told—" "Yes, she must She's our one ad vtter. Qo for her—or send me." "It won't be necessary. There's her ring at the gate. But, oh, Mr. Black, think again before you trouble this fragile child of mine with doubts an*? questions which make her mother tremble." "She has Bources of strength which you lack. She believes absolutely in Oliver's integrity. It will carry her through." "Please let her in, Mr. Black. I will wait here while you tell her." Mr. Black hurried from the room. When his form became visible on the walk without, Deborah watched him from where she stood far back in the room. A staff had been put in her hand, rough to the touch, b* t firm under pressure, and she needed such a staff. But she forgot gratitude and every lesser emotion In watching Reuther's expression. The young girl, running Into her arms, burst out with the glad cry: "Oliver is no longer in Detroit, but he's wanted here, and Mr. Black and I are going to find him. I think I know where to look. Get me ready, mother dear; we are going tonight" "But," objected Deborah, "if you know where to look for him, why take the child? Why go yourself? Why not telegraph to these places?" His answer was a look, quick, sharp and enigmatical enough to require explanation. He could not give it to her then, but later, when Reuther had left them, he said: "Men who fly their engagements and secrete themselves, with or without a pretext, are not so easily reached. We shall have to surprise Oliver Ostrander, In order to place his father's message in his hands." "You may be right But Reuther? Can she stand the excitement—the physical strain?" "You have the harder task of the two, Mrs. Scoville. Leave the little one to me. She shall not suffer." Deborah's response was eloquent It was only a look, but it made his harsh features glow and his hard eye soften. But his thoughts, If not his hopes, receive! a check when, with every plan made and Reuther in trembling anticipation of the journey, he encountered the triumphant figure of Flannagan coming out of police headquarters. His jaunty air, his complaisant nod, admitted of but one explanation. He had told his story to the chief authorities and been listened to. Proof that he had something of actual moment to tell them; something which the district attorney's office might feel bound to take up. * • • * • « • A night of stars, seen through swaying treetops whose leaves crisping to their fall, murmured gently of van* lshed hopes and approaching death. Below, a long, low building with a lighted window here and there, surrounded by a heavy growth of trees which are but the earnest of the Illimitable stretch of the Adirondack woods which painted darkness on the encircling horizon. Within, Reuther seated in the glow of a hospitable fire of great logs, talking earnestly to Mr. Black. As they were placed, he could see her much better than she could see him, his back being to the blaze and aha, In Its direct glare. He could, therefore, study her features without offense, and this he did steadily sad with deep Interest all the while she wss talking. He was looking for signs of physical weakness or fatigue; but he found none. The pallor of her features wss a natural pallor, and tn their expression, new forces were becoming apparent which gave him encouragement, rather thaa anxiety, for the adventure whose most trying events lay still before them. This is what she was saying: "I cannot point to any one man of tha many who have been about us ever since wa started aorta. Bat that wa have beea watched aad oar route followed, I feel quite convinced. But as yoa saw, no one besides ourselves left tha cars at this station, aad I am beginning to hope that we shall remain aasaolested tin we can take tha trip to Tempest lodge.

March 25, God in bis kind providence removed the dear one to the little mansion prepared for her above. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of their maoy friends in the community in which they live. Dear Wanda, thou, ha*t left a* And our Joss we deeply feel Bot 'tib God that bereft o i H e can all our sorrows heal. We would wiah thee back to cheer ut> With thy loving ways again We would have oar durliog near u» Bot to ask, would be io vain. We shall think of thee as dwelling iVhere the loved and true are blest Where the songB of joy are swelling In the home of endless rest.

We also thank the Pastor for his comforting words, the girls for their tender words of song, the donors of the beautiful flowers and the uirdertaker for his services. May you receive as kindly attentions in your hour of trial. Mr, and Mrs. Arthur Mitchell. Don't Make The Mistake Of thinking that you're saving money by not advertising that old furniture in the garret; those useless implements in the shed; tht»t old buggy in the barn; that cow you want to sell if you had a buyer- all the things for which you have no use. As a matter of fact you are saving money for the want ad, bat sacrificing the doll * re that might be gained by making the sales, to say nothing of the satisfaction of trading useless stuff (to yon) for actual money, and letting someone else Uke what you have to use. There's hardly anything that someone can't use-mid the Want Ads today and see. Use them yourself at lc per word.

Out of 246 towns and cities in Vermont, only nineteen voted in favor of licensing the sale of intoxicating liqaors at the elections just held. The city of Belief on taine, Ohio, went dry recently by a majority of 291, in the largest vote ever polled. Everything considered, this was one of the most sweeping victories secured by Ohio drys. Last fall in the statewide election Bellefontaine gave a majjrity against prohibition. The United States court of appeals, fourth district has handed down a decision in a West Virginia case, folly upholding the Wesbb interstate law. As a result the express companies will ship no more liquor into that state. Cincinnati liquor dealers estimate they will lose business to the extent of $1,000,000 a year in consequence. M.

ATTEMPTS TO HANG HIMSELF WOMAN TO FACE SECOND TRIAL. SAYS ATTORNEY Robert Smith Confesses to B r j t a Murder But Refuses to Give Reason for Act. Sat-MU.W • - As she was s>i:>gin^ "In the Good Old Summer Time," and was happily jaiticputmi; a happy marriage ThurritUy ui&hi, Mrs. Grace Steiniiuust-r, u widuu, '^J yi^ars did, was brutally murdered by her IIUJb& nd-to-be, Robert Smith, 4u years old, of Cleveland, at the home of .Mrs. ^Florence BanUeld. Lincoln avenue, Thursday afternoon. Smith, it is alleged, while Mrs. Stemhauser's back was turned, drew a razor from his pocket and cut her throat from ear to ear. Apparently in the excitement which followed, Smith was forgotten. The woman was rushed to St. Mary's hospital where she died three hours later. Smith left the Banfield home, and calmly walked to the county jj.ii where he greeted the turnkey with, "Hello Joe, I just killed a woman and this is what 1 used." Then he displayed a razor w.th two deep nicks in it. The missing bits of steel were found in Mrs. Stemhauser's throat by physicians at the hospital. Soon after Smith was locked up he made an attempt to hang himself. He tore a blanket in strips and fastened the blanket about his neck. Before he had strangled himself the turnkey found him, and until after the trial he will be kept under guard. Smith, during a grilling by Chief of Police Baskin and Prosecuting Attorney B. J. Vincent, refused to tell why he killed the woman. He finished serving a sentence in the coimty jail Wednesday as a vagrant. It was there that he met Mrs. Steinhauser, who had been confined there for treatment. Mrs. Steinhauser was released 20 days ago and when she departed it was fully decided that they should be married April 1. Smith wa.8 arraigned in police court Friday morning, waived examination and was immediately taken before Judge Gage in circuit court. He pleaded guilty and received the life sentence. Within-twenty-four hours after committing the crime Smith had started to serve his sentence in Jackson prison. MRS. F L O R E N C E C A R M A N Minneola, N.

Blackmar to precide at the trial. The district attorney indicated that he had discovered new evidence of an Important nature. He declined, however, to discuss this new evidence and said that he and counsel for Mrs, Carman had arranged not to discuss the case in any manner prior to the trial. BANKS SHOW GOOD GAINS Commissioner Merrick Makes Report Showing Aggregate Increase In Business Since December. WILL REACH HIGH FIGURE Hlnkley Says Appropriations W i l l Exceed Those of Last Session, Lansing—According to Chairman Hinkley of the ways and means committee, the appropriations of this legislature will exceed from 1750,000 to $1,000,000 the figure of two years ago when the top notch record of $14,750,- 000 was reached. The outlook is that the total this session will approximate $16,000,000. "We have been paring," said he, "but I cannot see how we can keep much below $16,000,000. The highway! department deficiency of $600,000 made a big boost necessary at the out-1 set. Everybody wants more money and in almost every instance of a j state institution, the request seems to be founded on such a basis that we cannot refuse. "I had hoped to keep the appropriati& rrrHoXn to $15,000,000 and had practically promised Governor Ferris with his help to dc> so." The announcement of Chairman Hlnkley rings the death knell of the proposed new state office building which has absolutely no chance now. Salary raises for clerks and others can also be forgotten this year. 8tate Wide B i l l Reported Out.

Twenty-one years have elapsed since the last constitution was drawn and it is expected that the convention will be long drawn out.

"Gentlemen," began the speaker, thu3 putting himself en rapport with his auditors, flattering their self-esteem, though committing the crime of uttering a pale, white lie. "Gentlemen," he repeated, thus rubbing it in, "I desire to call your kind attention to the four poems I am about to recite." A sub rosa groan escaped the tethered audience. "Only the first of these poems," announced the speaker, "is mine. The other three are by Longfellow. With an audible sigh of relief, the audience settled back, prepared toendure the worst. SOME H A R D KNOCKS Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee H a b i t " The injurious action of coffee on the hearts of many persons is well known by physicians to be caused by caffeine. This is the drug found by chemists in coffee and tea. A woman suffered a long time with severe heart trouble and finally h e r doctor told her she must give up coffee, as that was the principal cause of the trouble. She writes: "My heart was so weak it could not do its work properly. Sly husband would sometimes have tj> carry m e from the table, and it would seem that I would never breathe again. "The doctor told me that coffee w a s causing the weakness of my heart. H e said I must stop it, hut it Beemed I could not give it up until I was down, in bed with nervous prostration.

Did I not confidently expect to find Oliver there, 1 should not let you undertake this ride. But the inquiries I have Just made lead me to hope for the best results." "What's that?" "That's the cry of a loon." "How awful! Do they often cry like that?" "Not often in the nighttime." Reuther shuddered. Mr. Black regarded her anxiously. Had he done wrong to let her join him in thiB strange ride? "Shall we go back and wait for broad daylight?" he asked. "No, no. I could not bear the suspense of wondering whether all was going well and the opportunity being given you of seeing and speaking to him. We have taken such precautions —chosen so late (or should I say BO early) a start—that I'm sure we have outwitted the man who is so watchful of us. But if we go back, we cannot slip away from him again; and Oliver will have to submit to a humiliation It is our duty to spare him. And the good judge, too, I don't care if the loons do cry; the night is beautiful." And it was, had their hearts been In tune to enjoy I t A gibbous moon had risen, and, inefficient as it was to light up the recesses of the forest, it illumined the treetops and brought out the difference between earth and sky. The road, known to the horses, if not to themselves, extended like a black ribbon under their eyes, but the patches of light which fell across it at intervals took from it the uninterrupted gloom it must have otherwise had. Mr. Sloan, who was at once their guide and hOBt, promised that dawn would be upon them before they reached the huge gully which was the one dangerous feature of the road. Their guide had prophesied truly. Heralded by that long cry of the loon, the dawn began to reveal itself and the everyday world of the mighty forest was upon them with its night mystery gone. But not the romance of their errand, or the anxiety which both felt as to its fulfillment Full sight brought full realization. However they might seek to cloak the fact, they could no longer disguise from themselves that the ob-j ject of their Journey might not be acceptable to the man In hiding at Tempest lodge. Reuther's faith in him was strong, but even her courage faltered a s she thought of the disgrace awaiting him whatever the circumstances or however he might look upon his father's imperative command to return. But she did not draw rein, and the three continued to ride up and on. Suddenly, however, Mr. Sloan was seen to turn his head sharply, and In another moment his two companions heard him say: "We are followed. Ride on and leave me to take a look." Instinctively they also glanced back before obeying. They were just rounding the top of an abrupt hill, and expected to have an uninterrupted view of the road behind. But the masses of foliage were as yet too thick for them to see much but the autumnal red and yellow spread ont below them. "I hear them; I do not see them," remarked their guide. "Two horses are approaching." "How far are we now from the lodge?" - "A half-hour's ride. We are just at the opening of the gully." "You will Join u i toon?" "As quickly at I make out who are on the horse* behind us." Reuther and the lawyer rode on. Her cheeks had gained a slight flash, bat otherwise she looked unmoved. He was less at ease than she; for he had less to sustain him. The gully, when they came to It, proved to be a formidable one. It was not only deep but precipitous, and for the two mile* they rode along fts edge they saw no let-up in the steepnen on one side or of the almost equally abrupt rise of towering rock on the other. It was Reuther's nrst experience of so precrpttoos a climb, and under other circumstances she might have bees timid; hat hi her present heroic mood, it was sil a part of her voice behind them. Drawing in their horses, they greeted him eagerly when he appeared. "Were you right? Are we followed?" "That's as may be. I didn't hear or see anything more. I waited, but nothing happened, so I came on." His words were surly and his looks sour; they, therefore, forbore to question him further, especially as their keenest interest lay ahead, rather than behind them. They were nearing Tempest lodge. As it broke upon their view, perched like an eagle's eyrie on the crest of a rising peak, they drew rein, and, after a short consultation, Mr. Sloan wended his way up alone. He was a well-known man throughout the whole region, and would be likely to gain admittance if anyone could. But all wished the hour had been leas early. However, somebody was up in the picturesque place. A small trail of smoke could be seen hovering above its single chimney, and promptly upon Mr. Sloan's approach, a rear door swung back and an old man showed himself, but with no hospitable intent. On the contrary, he motioned the intruder back, and shouting out some very decided words, resolutely banged the door s h u t Mr. Sloan turned slowly about "Bad luck," he commented, upon joining his companions. "That was Deaf Dan. He's got a warm nest here, and he's determined to keep i t "No visitors wanted,' was what he shouted, and he didn't even hold out his hand when I offered him the letter." "Give me the letter," said Reuther. "He won't leave a lady standing out in the cold." Mr. Sloan handed over the judge's message, and helped her down, and she in turn began to approach the place. As she did so, she eyed It with the curiosity of a hungry h e a r t It was a compact structure of closely cemented stone, built to resist gales and harbor a would-be recluse, even in an Adirondack winter. Mr. Sloan had been repulsed from the west door; she would try the east Oliver (if Oliver it were) was probably asleep; but she would knock, and knock, and knock; and If Deaf Dan did not open, his master soon would. But when she found herself in face of this simple barrier and was lifting her hand to the door it suddenly flew open and a man appeared before her.

Oliver unkempt and with signs upon him of a night's work of study or writing; but Oliver!—her lover once, but now just a stranger into whose hand she must put this letter. She tried to stammer out her errand; but the Budden pallor, the starting eyes—the whole shocked, almost terrified appearance of the man she was facing, stopped her. She forgot the surprise, the incredulity of mind with which he would naturally hall her presence at his door in a place so remote and of such inaccessibility. She only saw that his hands had gone up and out at sight of her, and to her sensitive soul, this looked like a rebuff which, while expected, choked back her words and turned her faintly flushing cheek scarlet "It Is not I," burst from her lips in Incoherent disclaimer of his possible thought "I'm just a messenger. Tour father—" "It Is you!" Quickly his hands passed across his eyes. "How—" Then his glance, following hers, fell on the letter which she now remembered to hold o u t "It's the copy of a telegram," she tremblingly explained, as he continued to gase at it without reaching to take i t "You could not be found In Detroit and as it was important that you should receive this word from your father, I undertook to deliver i t I remembered your fondness for this place sad how you ones said that this is where you would Ilka to write your books, and so I came on a venture— but not alone—Mr. Black is with me and—" -Mr. Black!

Then there came a rattling uoise aa he crushed the letter in hit* hand. "Tell me what this means," said he, but he did not -turn his head aa he made this request. "Your father must do that," was her gentle reply. "I was only to deliver the letter. I came—we came—thus eavly, because we thought—we feared we should get no opportunity later to find you here alone. There seem to be people on the road—whom— whom you might feel obliged to entertain and as your father cannot wait—" He had wheeled about Hla face confronted hers. It wore a look she did not understand and which made him seem a stranger to he». Involuntarily she took a step back. "I must be going now," said Bhe, and fell—her physical weakness triumphing at last over her will power "Oliver? Where Is Oliver?" These were Reuther's first words, as, coming to herself, she perceived Mr. Black bending helplessly over her. The answer was brief, almost indifferent Alanson Black was cursing himself for allowing her to come to this" house alone. "He. was here a moment ago. When he saw you begin to give signs of life, he slid o u t How do you feel, my— my dear? What will your mother say?" "But Oliver?" She was on her feet now; she had been lying on some sort of couch. "He must—Oh, I remember now. Mr. Black, we must go. I have given him his father's letter." "We are not going till you have something to e a t Not a word. I'll—" Why did his eye wander to the nearest window, and his words trail away into silence? Reuther turned about to see. Oliver was In front, conversing earnestly with Mr. Sloan. As they looked, he dashed back into the rear of the house, and they heard his voice rise once or twice in some ineffectual commands to his deaf servant, then there came a clatter and a rush from the direction of the stable, and they saw him flash by on a gaunt but fiery horse, and take with long bounds the road up which they had Just labored. A 8mall Trail of 8moke Hovering Above Its 8ingle Chimney. He had stopped to equip himself in some measure for his ride, but not the horse, which was without saddle or any sort of bridle but a halter strung about his neck. This was flight; or so it appeared to Mr. Sloan, as he watched the young man disappear over the brow of tne hilL What Mr. Black thought was not so a p p a r e n t He had no wish to discourage Reuther whose feeling was one of relief as her first word showed. "Oliver is gone. We shall not have to hurry now and perhaps if I had a few minutes in which to rest—" She was on the verge of fainting again. And then Alanson Black showed of what stuff he was made. In ten minutes he had bustled about the half-deserted building, and with the aid of the dated and uncomprehending deafmute, managed to prepare a cup of hot tea and a plate of steaming eggs for the weary girl. After such an effort, Reuther felt obliged to eat, and she did; seeing which, the lawyer left her tor a moment and went out to question their guide. "Where's the young lady?* This from Mr. 8ftoan. "Batiag sosaethlng, Come in and hare a btta, sad let the horses e a t too. The young feBow went off pretty trawl waa way to eas> iure-—if that's wf.iat jou want to i i U O W . " •'What'.' We are followed, then?" "There are men on the road; two, as I told you before. He can't get by thi.-m — if that's what he wants to do." "But I thought ihey fell back. We didn't hear them after you Joined ua." , "No; they didn't come on. They didn't have to. This its the only road down the mountain, and it's one you've goc to follow or go tumbling over the precipice. All they've got to do la to wait tor him; and that a what 1 tried to tell him, hut he just shook his arm at me and rode ou. He might better have waited for company." Mr. Black cast a glance behind him, saw that the door of the house waa almost closed and ventured to put another question. "What did he ask you when he came out here?" "Why we had chosen such an early hour to bring him hla father's message," Sloan replied. "And what did you say?" "Waal, I said that there was another fellow down my way awful eager to see him, too; and that you were mortal auxiouB to get to him first. That was about it, wasn't it, sir?" "Yes. And how did he take that?" "He turned white, and asked me just what I meant. Then I said that some one wanted him pretty bad, for, early aB it waa, this stranger was up as soon aa yoa, and had followed us into the mountains and might show up any time on the road. At which he gave me a stare, then plunged back into the house to get his hat and trot out hla horse. I never saw quicker work. But it's no use; he can't escape those men. They know it, or they wouldn't have stopped where they did, waiting for him." Mr. Black recalled the aspect of the gully, and decided that Mr. Sloan was r i g h t There could be but one end to this adventure. Oliver would be caught in a manifest effort to escape, and the judge's cup of sorrow and humiliation would he full. He felt the shame of it himself, also the folly of his own methods and of the part he had allowed Reuther to play. Beckoning to his host to follow him, he turned toward the house. "Don't mention your fears to the young lady," said he. "At least, not till we are well past the gully." "I shan't mention anything. Don't, you be afeared of that." And with a simultaneous effort difficult for both, they assumed a more cheerful air, and briskly entered the house. It waa not until they were well upon the road back that Reuther ventured to speak of Oliver, She was riding as far from the edge of the precipice as possible. In descent It looked very formidable to her unaccustomed eye. "This is a dangerous road for a man to ride bareback," she remarked. "I'm terrified when I think of it, Mr. Black. Why did he go off quite so suddenly? Is there a train he is anxious to reach? Mr. Sloan, is there a train?" "Yes, miss, there is a train." "Which he can get by riding fast?" "I've known it done!" 'Then he Is excusable." Yet her anxious glance stole ever and again to the dizzy verge toward which she now unconsciously urged her own horse till Mr. Black drew her aside. A half-hour's further descent, then a quick turn and Mr. Sloan, who had ridden on before them, came galloping hastily back. Mr. Black hastened to meet their guide. "What now?" he asked. "Have they come together? Have the detectives got him?" "No, not him; only his horse. The animal has just trotted up—riderless." "Good Godf The child's instinct was true. He has been thrown—" "No." Mr. Sloan's mouth was close to the lawyer's ear. "There's another explanation. If the fellow Is game, and anxious enough to reach the train to risk his neck for It, there's a path he could have taken which would get him there without his coming round this turn." Then as Reuther came ambling up: "Young lady, don't let me scare yon, but it looks now as if the young man had taken a short cut to the station. Look back along the edge of the precipice for about half a mile, and you will see shooting up from the gully a solitary tree whose topmost branch maches within a few feet of the road above." "Yes,M she suddenly replied, as her glance feU on the one red splash showing against the dull gray of the cliff. "A leap from the road, if well-timed, would land a man among some very stalwart branches." "But—bnt—If he didn't reach— didn't catch—" "Young lady, he's a man in a ou- •and. If yon want the proof, look over there." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Rfee Crop of United Stateo.

Defaming a neighbor at the expense of ihe truth doea not help those who axe guilty of the practice, and it may be baid that those spreading false reports about Canadian lands, in the hope that they may secure customers for their own, will certainly fail of their purpose. Falms statements so maliciously circulated will sooner or later be disproved. And, aa in the catie of the lands of Western Canada, the fertility of which is now BO well known to people of e,very state in the United States, the folly of this work shows an exceeding short sightedness on the part of those_ guilty of the practice. The present war has given some of these people the opportunity to exercise their art, but in doing it they are only arousing the curiosity of those who read the statements and a trifling investigation will only reveal their untruthfulness. A very foolish statement has recently appeared in a number of papers, reading in part as follows: — "It is believed that as a result of the war tax on land imposed by the Canadian Government a number of former Dakota farmers who went to the British Northwest will be compelled to return to the United States. Information has been received that the tax will amount to about $500 for each farm of 160 acres, which in the case of many of the former residents of the two Dakotas would practically amount to confiscation." To show that the public has doubted, hundreds of inquiries have been made the Government at Ottawa, Canada, only to bring out the most emphatic denial. A full-fledged lie of this kind has, of course, only a short life, and will tell in the end against those who forge it and spread it, but, as a - Winnipeg paper points out, it is most complimentary to the agricultural possibilities of Western Canada to find that rival farming propositions need audacious mendacity of this description to help them. What is the truth? The Saskatchewan Government ha% authorized a levy of $10 per quarter section on uncultivated lands owned by non-residents. The Alberta Government has imposed a Provincial tax of 10 mills on the assessed value of all uncultivated lands. There are some special applications of these taxes, but the main provisions are as above. Those vacant lands held by non-residents in Western Canada form a grave problem. They are making for poor communities, poor schools and poor social and economic conditions generally. By having them cultivated the owners as well as the districts in which they are located will benefit alike. It is for this reason that the Government has recently asked the co-operation of the non-residents. The high price of grain for some years to come, and the general splendid character of Western Canada land will make the question well worth consideration.—Advertisement Oriental Water Bottles. Hebron, one of the oldest cities In Palestine, has always been famous for its Oriental water bottles, made of goat skins. Here are to be found large tanneries, where these receptacles are turned out by the thousands. Lying upon the ground In rows may be seen hundreds of goat skins awaiting purchasers. Each skin is inflated, either with water or with air, so that the buyer may know it is perfectly water tight. The majority of the skins used come from Arabia, while a large number are also received from the Lebanons. They are brought to Hebron by the camel caravans and are purchased by the tanneries and turned into bottles. They pass through many processes and a tanner will spend a week upon a single skin before it is rendered water-tight and serviceable. From Hebron these old "bottles" are sent to all parts of the East, thousands going down into Egypt and the Sudan every year. They are also lifted as rafts. A number of inflated skins are attached to a light wooden frame, which then not only readily floats, bnt is capable of carrying quite a heavy load. Such rafts are to be seen om tha rivers of 8yria and also on the Bophrates and Tigris.—Birmingham P o e t "The poor fellow waa simply driven to his grave." "Welt, why not?

THE PERENNIAL FLOWER BED By JULIE ADAMS P O W E L L Last month we talked about the hardy bulbs. This month we are going to make a flower border of perennial plants, plants which sow their own seed and of plants that are biennials, and we are going to buy or beg them all. Suppose we have a border from twenty to forty feet In length and from six to fifteen feet in depth. Or to fit our "estates," our border can be made much larger or very much smaller. A border planted by a woman should not be over twenty by eight feet In site, for if she did all the work except the heavy digging, it might not be possible for her to give a larger one the right and necessary care. Such a border should ran north and south, and if possible, face the east The background may be of hollyhocks, both single and double, golden-glow, the* single tiger Illy, the ever blooming flame flower, the tall meadow-rue, and tall meadow-sweet, set out alternately. Then in front of these and at least two feet from them we will set out the pearl echillea, some of the columbines, the choice of which are canadensis, chrysantha, chrysantha alba, carulia hybrida, skinneri, and Call- J fornica hybrida. I In the center of this row a hydrangea paniculate grandiflora would be very pretty, and to continue the j row, hardy pompon chrysanthemums, I the several blue varieties of larkspurs, moon penny daisies, Shasta daisies, fox gloves sweet Williams, coreopsis, I lanceolata grandiflora and an almost double variety, called "the golden fleece." Nicotina afflnis can be planted In this row early next spring and from year to year it will sow its own seed and will come up so close to where the old plants grew that it will not often need transplanting. Then we *ill have the hardy gaillardia, gysophila panlculata, or baby's breath, lavender, Lychnis, rose campion, monarda didyma splendent, also called the bee balm and robin runaway, the Chinese bell flower, the hardy perennial poppies and the gar* den heliotrope. A double border we will make of two heights of plants, setting the taller ones a little back of the very low ones. The snap dragon, the double anemone, the mullein pink, the sea pink, English daisies, the harebell. Canterbury bells, the hardy double and single pinks, the polyanthus, the "hardy primroses and the English cowslips all will help to make our hardy flower bed a "thing of beauty and a joy forever." The earth for a perennial border should be light and porous. Sever try to raise flowers in soggy, wet soil. As soon as the plants are well rooted have a forkful of well-decayed stable manure spaded In well aronsd each plant unless they are very avail plants, then use your own good Judgment Just before fseealng weather a mulch two or three inches deep of stable manure should be spread over the bed a little heavier about each plant, and if the plants have any spooky branches they should all be trimmed back quite close THE CALLA AND ITS CULTURE By BESSIE L. PUTNAM. Rich soil, moisture, warmth, and sunshine are the key notes to success with the calla. It can—yes—must be made to bloom In winter without much sdnshlne If the other essentials are supplied. If wanted for winter blooming it Is best to let It rest in summer, turning the pot on Its side, in some^but of the way corner. Repot in September, filling in a layer of charcoal for drainage and" food. Over this put a layer of manure well rotted, and finish with a rich compost Water rparingly until growth commences, and then the water can hardly be supplied too freely. Always use warm water. The roots will enjoy it quite hot, but this la death to the stem. Some place a ring of tin around the base of the stem, pressing it down an inch into the soil. With this protection the hot water can be freely used. Bottom heat may also be supplied by placing the pot on a hot brick. By keeping a pair of bricks for this purpose and alternating every 12 hours the buds can be forced more freely. Give liquid manure once or twice a week, gradually increasing the dose as the plant seems to thrive. Rout the red spider by spraying with cold water, and the scale with soapsuds. When two leaves appear successively from the same stalk, watch for a bud next Others will succeed It through the winter if the treatment outlined is adhered to. Bottom heat, moisture, and all the sunshine possible are the best incentives to growth Official Denial PeVarTaaea a war ana la to KEEPING UP THE LAWN Dont mow the lawn too closely during the heated term; but do not allow weeds to go to seed. Deep working, thorough pulverisation, effective fertilization and a thorough raking and rolling down to a smooth level are all necessary to a smooth, level lawn. Get your lawn seeds of a reliable seedsman, and ask for the best and the freshest Dont use old seed left over from last year, but insist on baring It fresh, and of a good mixture. The best time to seed a lawn Is during the latter part of August or the early part of 9*T>tember. At that season, the heat is ever and showers are almost sure to come, and the young grass will have several months of cool, moist weather in which to grow before winter.

S i b t f A a r Said i i w i w l w K . la Springtime appetites should be ah fresh and unspoiled as is the spring itself. But too often the spring appe- U g l pains in my back ! tite is dulled and it Is only by dint H H and side and was so 'of constant care the housekeeper or c:ook is able to provide a tempting diet on the spring table. Winter fare p a l l ^ a t this season. A.nd the usual winter condiments and appetizers fail to work successfully. Mustard pickles, chowchow, cole slaw., olives—all have lost their winter trick 3f whetting the appetite. Celery has literally lost most of its crispness ana sweetness by spring. New appetizers and relishes must be relied on to give point to the daily diet. Cucumbers are one reliable spring relish. There is, of course, much oh jection to cucumbers on the ground ot indigestibility. They are usually Indigestible—that nobody can deny. But some people do not find them so, and eat them without fear. So if they are cot taboo on your table, make use of them. It is a good plan to slice them thinly and place them in iced water in the refrigerator for an hour before using them. Then dress them with oil and vinegar and serve them with fish. Or dice them and mix them with diced green pepper and celery, with mayonnaise, in cups of lettuce leaves as a salad. Tomatoes, too, can be made to serve admirably the purpose of whetting the appetite. A very good appetizer with which to begin dinner is a round 3f firm tomato, half an inch thick, on which is placed pepper, celery or cucumber, mixed with mayoanalse dressing. Sliced tomatoes, iced in the refrigerator, are another good dinner accompaniment They may be Berved with fish or with the meat course ..nd of course all sorts of tomato salads are delicious in spring. And a good sherbet for dinner can be made •yf equal parts of strained tomato uice and meat -stock, to which a little •oftened gelatin has been added, froten in an ice cream freezer Radishes should always be served v-ery cold. Clean them and chill them thoroughly in iced water and then jut in attractive shapes. Make roses, ometimes, by cutting back the red ikin in points.

LaRue and Stephen G. Teepie were united in marriage and in commemoration of that event, they celebrated their golden wedding on the evening of April 10th at their home on Main street, Pinckney, Michigan. About fifty guests were present, including old friends and neighbors and several from out of town; among the latter were Mr. Teeple's sister, Mrs. Sarah Doty. of Niagara Falls and Mr. and Mrs. Neynaber of Detroit. Tellow and white was the color scheme for the entire decorations; tulips, jonquils, smilax and white roses being used in profusion throughout the house. A delectable two-course' luncheon was served after which a program of music, speeches and songs was delightfully rendered under the able supervision of G. W. Teepie as tostmaster. Many beautiful gifts were left, proving the love and esteem in which the couple are held, and at a late hour the guests departed wishing Mr. and Mrs. Teepie many more happy anniversaries.

She was married to Dell Hall, March 21, 1888. To this anion was born one son, Alger J. Hall. She was a loving wife, mother and neighbor and will be missed by all who knew her. Besides her husband and son she leaves to mourn their Joss, one brother, S. H. Reason, and two sisters, Mrs, W. W. Mercer and Mrs. M W. Allison of this place.

Miss Msttis Jaokaea visitor a last Play Well Staged The Senior Class of the Pinckney High School produced their play "A Black Heifer" last Friday evening with great credit to themselves, after having overcome almost nnsurmountable difficulties in the re-arrangement of the caste after unforseen events had made that re-arrangement necessary. Three characters were substituted in the caste and these persons, Duaue Lavey, Herman Vedder aud Gregory Devereaax learned their respective parts in less than two days time. The extra effort made necessary on the part of these young men was much appreciated by the class. The characters they impersonated were certainly well taken. The roles assumea by the rest of the caste were exceedingly good causiug roar after roar of laughter from the comedy and real cringes from the tragedy parts of the drama Father Coyle staged the play. To him great praise is due as the real success of a play rests not alone with the actors but a great deal with the ability of the person who trains the caste. Lillian Given's six-piece orchestra of Detroit rendered several fine musical selections between the acts of the play and also furnished the music for the dauce following. Attendents at both the play and dance enjoyed an evening's entertainment which will not soon be forgotten. A Saloonkeeper's Tejtiiwy A former Red Wing (Minn.) saloonkeeper, Mr. Lohmao, now engaged in the clothing- business in McHenry, North Dakota, recently visited .his old friends in Red Wing. While insisting that he still saw nothing wrong in having a glass of beer at home and disclaiming any pretensions to being a total abstainer, he gave some excellent testimony to the value of prohibition. "One reason why we are not anxious to have a saloon in our town is that it would draw the kind of people from other placeB that we do not want; we like a good, clean town." "It is said so often that prohibition does not prohibit, Mr. Lohman," remarked a reporter. "If a man goes to McHenry and wants a drink, can he get it?" "No, not for love nor money," replied Mr. Lohman with emphasis. "There is no liquor to be had in our town except for medical purposes." "Then a crowd of young men cannot start out and have a gloriously good time in McHenry?" "I should say they cannot," replied Mr. Lohman, "because there is no place where they can get the liquor. There has been no bootlegging during the last few years. The law is being enforced rigidly and there is no evidence anywhere of drnnkednesa." M. E S.

NATIONAL GUARD PSOUO OF REPORT REPORT OF UNITED STATES ARMY OFFICERS IS ENCOURAGING. PORT HURON COMPANY LEADS Experts Declare That Pereonnel of Organization Is Good and Equipment 1» Splendid. NATIVE ATTEMPTS LIFE OF EGYPTIAN SULTAN Lansing—In spite of the rather unfavorable conditions that have prevailed for the recruiting of the National Guard, the report of the United States army ahows that the guard of the Wolverine state has shown a most satisfactory increase numerically and marked improvement in efficiency. The report of the regular army on the Michigan National Guard is giving the officers of the organization much satisfaction. In 1914 the total strength reported was 2,445. This year the total reached 2,835. There also is shown an increase in the attendance for inspection, the total for this year being 2,- 705 as against 2,399 for the year previous. Company C, 3rd infantry, of Port Huron, was the banner company with sixty-nine men, all present for inspection. Co. F, 3rd infantry, Saginaw, was next with sixty-six all of whom were present. Co. I, 3rd infantry, Manistee was third with 67 men, one of whom was absent. Among the other companies mentioned were B, 3rd infantry, Bay City; D, 2nd infantry, Big Rapids; I, 2nd, Muskegon; and D, 1st infantry of Detroit. The 3rd regiment gets the banner mention for attendance. The 2nd infantry was second among the regiments and the 1st was third. These figures show the regiments of the Michigan National Guard are below the standard fixed by the war department, but it is believed, in view of the splendid, increase shown that more time will be given to bring the organizations up to their full quota. General Kirk haa pointed out, however, that the communities where companies are located must five attention to the support of the organizations if they desire to keep the organizations. The report of the regular army inspecting officers shows the personnel of the organizations is good and the equipment in splendid condition. The campaign to interest employers has resulted in 350 pledging themselves to the support of the guard by encouraging men to join and freely giving leave of absence for guard service. HUSSEIN KEMAL. London—An attempt was made at 3 p. m. Thursday to assassinate the sultan of Egypt, Hussein Kemal, according to a Reuter dispatch from Cairo.

GERMANS TO PAY FOR FRYE American Vessel Sung by Cruiser on High Seas Is Case for Prize Court. P, M, GETS MAJ. VANDERCOOK Popular National Guard Officer to Be Personal Agent of Receiver. Lansing—Major Roy C. Vandercook, commander of the national guard artillery battalion and well known as a newspaper man, resigned as adjutantgeneral of the state to enter the service of the Pere Marquette railroad, effective April 12. Mr. Vandercook will serve as a sort of better service agent with the aim of creating a closer and more advantageous relation between the carrier and the public. He will act as Receiver Paul H. King's personal agent in investigating complaints and discussing service and proposed changes. Major Vandercook has served the state as adjutant-general nearly four years. For several years he was a newspaper writer in Lansing. He is known as a keen student of governmental affairs and is a veteran of the Spanish-American war. Washington—Germany's intention to compensate the owners of the American ship William P. Frye, sunk on the high seas with her cargo of wheat by the commerce raider Prinz Eitel Kriedrich, haa been formally communicated to the United States government. Ambassador Gerard cabled a note handed him by the Berlin foreign office in reply to the recent American communication submitting a claim for an indemnity of $228,059.54 on behalf of the Frye's owners. The foreign office upholds without qualification the legality under international law of the raider's action in sinking the Frye, and bases the liability of the German government to pay indemnity solely upon the old PrussianjAmerlcan treaties of 1799 and 1828, which provide that contraband belonging to the subjects or citizens ~bf either party cannot be confiscated by the other and may be detained or used only in consideration of payment of the full value. In view of this stipulation, the note says, of course, the American owners must be compensated" for their loss. It is pointed out, fre^ever, that the capo of necessity must &o into a prize court, that questions of ownership, cargo, destination, etc., may be formally established. Interurban Jitneys Are Started.

HAS SUNK FOURTEEN SHIPS Qorman Converted Cruiser After Thrilling Experiences 811 pa Past Hostile Fleet Into American Port Sunday. Newport News, Va.—The German converted cruiser Kronprinz Wllhelm the elusive raider of commerce in the South Atlantic, slipped into this port Sunday and asked for fuel and provisions. Many times reported destroyed, the former North German Lloyd liner had evadfid hostile warships for eight months, while she sent 14 merchantmen to the bottom. Her officers said she was forced to steal her way past four allied cruisers off the Virginia Capes to reach this refuge. "We got in without being seen by the enemy and we can get out the same way," declared her commander, Lieutenant Captain Paul Thierfelder, formerly navigating officer of the German cruiser Karlsruhe, in a statement Sunday. When she dropped anchor, the Kron- Prinz Wllhelm had less than 25 tons of coal and scanty provisions for the crew of 500 men and 61 prisoners from British merchant ships sunk in the south Atlantic. Of the 14 ships that the 15,000 ton cruiser sank, nine were British, four French and one Norwegian. The value of these ships and their cargoes, officers of the Wilhelm estimated at $7,000,000. When the Wilhelm arrived off Thimble shoals, after passing in the Virginia capes early Sunday, two United States submarines, the G-l and D-2 met her. The appearance of the submarines created considerable surprise among the crew, but there was no demonstration as the little vessels convoyed the German raider to quarantine, where Dr. Maccafferty, United States quarantine officer, boarded her. Commander Thierfelder reported 66 of the crew and prisoners were ill with beri-beri and requested that they be taken to a hospital. The Wilhelm followed in the wake of the Interned Print Eitel Friedrich, which arrived here a month ago, after thrilling and effective operations for the German arms.

As her anxious eye sought the place he Indicated, her face flushed crinlson with evanescent joy. Just where the open ground of the gully melted again Into the forest, the figure of a man could be seen moving very quickly. In another moment It had disappeared amid the foliage. "Straight for the station," announced Mr. Sloan; and, taking out his watch, added quickly; "the train is not due for 15 minutes. He'll catch it" 'The train south r "Yes, and the train north. They pass here." Mr. Black turned a startled eye upon the guide. But Reuther's face was still alight She felt very happy. Their Journey had not been for naught He would have six hours' start of his pursuers; he would be that much sooner in Shelby; he would hear the accusation against him and refute it before she saw him again. But Mr. Black's thoughts were less pleasing than hers. He had never had more than a passing hope of Oliver's innocence, and now he had none at all. The young man had fled, not in response to his father's telegram, but under the impulse of hie own fears. They would not find him in Shelby when they returned. They might never find him anywhere again. A pretty story to carry back to the judge. As he dwelt upon this thought his reflections grew mo*e and more gloomy, and he had little to say till he reached the turn where the two men still awaited them. In the encounter which followed no attempt was made by either party to disguise the nature of the business which thus had brought them to gether. The man whom Mr. Black took to be a 8helby detective nodded as they met and remarked, with a quick glance at Reuther: "So you've come without him! I'm sorry for that I was in hopes that I might be spared the long ride up the mountain." Mr. Black limited his answer to one of his sour smiles. "Whose horse is this?" came In peremptory demand from the other man, with a nod toward the animal which could now be seen idly grazing by the wayside. "And how came it on the road alone?*' "We can only give you these facts," rejoined the lawyer. "It came from Tempest lodge. It started out ahead of us with the gentleman we had gone to visit on Its back. We did not pass the gentleman on the road, and if he has not passed you he must have left the road somewhere oh foot He did not go back to the lodge." "Mr. Black—" "I am telling you the absolute truth. Make what you will of it His father desires him home, and sent a message This message this, young lady undertook to deliver, and she did deliver it with the consequences I have mentioned. If you doubt me take your ride. It is not an easy one, and up his arms to lift her from her horse at the door of the hotel. But his refusal was peremptory. "Ill be back In just five minutes," said he. And without waiting for a second pleading look, he lifted her gently off and carried her in. When he returned, as he did In the time specified, he had but one word for her. "Gone," said he. "Thank God!" she murmured with a smile. Not having a smile to add to hers* the lawyer withdrew. Oliver was gone—but gone north. CHAPTER X V I I . The Curtain Lifted. It was dark when" Mr. Black came into Shelby, and darker still when he rang the bell of Judge Ostrander's house. But it was not late, and his agitation had but few minutes in which to grow, before the gate swung wide and he felt her hand in his. She was expecting him. There was no necessity for preliminaries; and he could ask at once for the Judge and whether he was strong enough to bear disappointment Deborah's answer was disconcerting. "I've not seen him. He admits nobody. When I enter the library, he retreats to his bedroom. I have not even been allowed to hand him his letters. I put them on his tray when I carry in his meals." "I am afraid he never will hear from Oliver. The boy gave us the slip in the most remarkable manner. 1 will tell you when we get inside." When she had heard him through, she looked about the room they were In, with a lingering, abstracted gase the only man remaining at the lodge i „ „. _, , ,» . , . _._ is deaf as a post** H e W a * P o l r »t l , | e *•*•" but In I Dlfwhole . ferent Direction Now. post "Mr. Black has told the story," averred the guide.

"I am disappointed," she murmured in bitter reflection to herself. "I did not expect Oliver to clear bim^lf, but I did expect him to face his accusers if oxfly for his father's sake What am I to say now to the judge T "Nothing tonight In the morning we will talk the whole subject over. f must first explain myself to Andrews, and, If possible, learn his intentions; then 1 shall know better what to advise:'' **Did the offtoai yon met on your return from Tempest lodge follow you t o S h e f t y r **1 have not seen hint" T h a t is bad. He followed Oliver." "It wssvto he expected." tOUrer ia la Ososster ^ be that under this same roof, and only separated from them by a partition. there brooded another human being helplessly awaiting a message which would never come, and listening, but how vainly, for the step and voice for which he hungered, though they were the prelude to further shame and the signal for coming punishment. So strong was this thought In both their minds, that the shadow deepened upon both faces, as though' a presence had passed between them; and when Mr. Black rose, as be very soon did, it was with an evident dread of leaving her alone with this thought. They were lingering yet In the ball, the good night faltering on their lips. when suddenly their eyes flashed together in mutual question, and Deborah bent her ear toward the street An automobile was slowing up— stopping—stopping before the gates! Deborah turned and looked at Mr BlaQk. Then the bell rang. Never had it sounded so shrill and penetrat lug. Never had it rung quite such a summons through this desolate house. Recoiling, she made a motion of entreaty. "Go," she whispered. "Open! I cannot" j Quickly he obeyed. She Leard him pass out and down the walk, and through the first gate. Then there came a silence, followed by the open Ing of the second gate. Then, a sound like smothered greetings, followed by quickly advancing steps and a voice she knew: "How is my father? Is he well? I cannot enter till 1 know." It was Oliver!—come from some distant station, or from some other line which he had believed unwatched. Tumultuous as her thoughts were, she dared not indulge in them for a mo ment, or give way to gratitude or any other emotion. There were words to be said—words which must be uttered on the Instant and with as much im* periousness as bis own. Throwing the door wide, she called down the steps: "Yes. he is well. Come in, Mr. Os> trander, and you, too, Mr. Black. Instructions have been given me by the Judge, which I must deliver at once. He expects you, Oliver," she went on, as the two men stepped in "He bade me say to you immediately upon your entrance that much as he would like to be on hand to greet you, he cannot see you tonight For tonight at least, and up to a certain hour tomorrow, you are to keep your own counsel. When certain persons whose names he has given me can be gotten together In this house, he will Join you, giving you your first meeting in the presence of others. Afterwards he will see you alone. If these plans distress you—if you find the delay hard, I am to say that it is even harder for him that it can be for you. But circumstances Compel him to act thus, and he expects you to understand and be patient." Young Ostrander bowed. "I have no doubt of the facts," he as sured her, with an unsuccessful effort to keep his trouble out of his voice. "But as my father allows me some explanation, I shall be very glad to hear what has happened here to occasion my imperative recall." Mr. Black glanced at Deborah, who was slipping away. When they found themselves alone together, Oliver's manner altered. "One moment," said he, before Mr Black could speak. "I should like to ask you first of all, If Miss Scoville is better. When I left you both so suddenly at Tempest Lodge, she was not well. I—" "She is quite recovered, Mr. Ostrander." Involuntarily their glances met in a question which perhaps neither desired to have answered. Then Oliver re marked Quite simply: "My haste seemed warranted by my father's message. Five minutes—one minute even is of great importance when you have but fifteen in which to catch a train." "And by such a route!" "Ton knowmy route" A short laugh escaped him. "I feared delay—possibly the interference—but why discuss these unimportant matters! But your reason for these hasty summons —that is what 1 am ready now to hear." And be sat down, but in such a way as to throw his face very much into the shadow. This was a welcome circumstance to the lawyer. His task promised to be hard enough at the best Black night had not offered too dark a screen between him and the man thus suddenly called upon to face suspicions the very shadow of which is enough to destroy a life. The hardy lawyer shrunk from uttering the words which would make the gulf imaginatively opening between them a real, if not impassable one. Bomethinm-mhout the young man appealed to him—something apart from Ids relationship to the judge— something inherent in himself. Per- Jt wee the misery he betrayed it wee the memory of Reuther's faith in him and now w him next twt mm the face of auy duty, and It robbed him of confidence. But he gave no proof of in la In voice or manner, as pacing the floor In alternate approach and reireat, he finally addressed the mououleba figure he could no longer Ignore. "You want to know w_hat has happened here? If you mean lately, 1 shall have tb explain that anything which has lately occurred to distress your father or make your presence here desirable has its birth in events which date back to days when this was your home and the bond between yourself and father the uaual and natural one." Silence in that shadowy corner! But this the speaker had expected, and must have exacted even if Oliver had shown the least intention of speaking. "A man was killed here in the old day»—pardon me if I am too abrupt— and another man was executed for this crime. You were a boy—but you must remember." He paused. One must breathe between the blows he Inflicts, even if one ia a lawyer. "That was twelve years ago. Not so long a timt as has elapsed since you met a waif of the streets and chastised him for some petty annoyance. But both events, the great and the little, have been well remembered here in Shelby; and when Mrs. Scoville came amongst us a month or so ago, with her late but substantial proofs of her husband's innocence in the matter of Etheridge'a death, there came to her aid a man, who not only remembered the beating he had received as a child, but certain facts which led him to denounce by name, the party destined to bear at this late day the onus of the crime heretofore ascribed to Scoville. That name he wrote on bribes and walls; and one day, when your father left the courthouse a mob followed him, shouting loud words which I will not repeat, but which you must understand were such as must be met and answered when the man so assailed is Judge Ostrander. Have I said enough? If so, raise your hand and I will desist for tonight" But no movement took place in the shadow cast by Oliver's figure on the wall before which Mr. Black bad paused, and presently a voice was heard from where be"sat, saying: "You are too merciful. I do not want generalities but the naked truth. What did the men shout?" "You have asked for a fact, and that I feel free to give you. They shouted. 'Where is Oliver, your guilty son, Oliver? You saved him at a poor man's expense, but we'll have him yet.' You asked me for The words, Mr. Ostrander." "Yes." The pause was long, but the "Yes" came at last. Then another silence, and then this peremptory demand: "But we cannot stop here, Mr. Black. If I am to meet my father's wishes tomorrow, I must know the ground upon which I stand. What evidence lies back of these shouts? If you are my friend—and you have shown yourself to be such—you will tell me the whole story. I shall say nothing more." Mr. Black was not walking now; he was standing stock-still and in the shadow also. And with this space and the double shadow between them. Alanson Black told Oliver Ostrander why the people had shouted: "We will have him yet." When he had quite finished, he came into the light When he had quite finished he came into the light. He did not look in the direction he had avoided from the first, but his voice had a different note as he remarked: "I am your father's friend, and I have promised to be yours. You may expect me here in the morning, as I am one of the few persons your father has asked to be present at your first interview. If after this interview you wish anything more from me you have only to signify it I am blunt, but not unfeeling, Mr. Ostrander." A slight lift of the hand, visible now in the shadow, and with a silent bow he left the room. In the passage-way he met Deborah. "Leave him to himself," said he. "Later, perhaps, you can do something for him." But.she found this quite impossible. Oliver would neither eat nor sleep. When the early morning light came, he was sitting there still. • * • •» • * • Ten o'clock! and one of the five listed to be present had arrived—the rector of the church which the Ostranders had formerly attended. He was ushered into the parlor by Deborah, where he found himself received not by the judge In whose name he had been invited, but by Mr. Black, the lawyer, who tendered him a simple good morning and pointed but a chair. There was another person in the room—e young man who stood in one of the windows, gaming abstractedly out at the line of gloomy fence rising him and the street He had not tamed at the rector's mad the latter had failed tj <Tp * * WOMAN WOULD NOT GIVE UP Though Sick and Suffering; At Last Found Help in Lydia EL Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The story is told of a certain Orton man who did not approve of foreign missions. One Sabbath at church when the collection was being taken up for missions, the collector approached and held out the collection box. The man! shook hiB head. "I never give to! flaissions," he whispered. "Then take something out of the box," ' whispered the collector. "The! money is for the" heathen." Brighton now has a commercial organization.

Two miles of state road will be built by Putnam Township this year, one mile commencing at the Base line on the Dexter road ancj running north and the other mile commencing at the Sprout school and running north. Why is it that one town grows and prospers year after ytai while but a fdw miles away another town, jusi ab well located and with just as great natural advantages, simply btaguates year in and year out? It is- because in the first town there is civic pride, its people work together iu harmony, have ambition and seek the best interest !of all.

But the study of every motor car on the market showed that the lubricating needs of all standard makes were identical. olarine •»<•* JT is a recognized maxim in strategical problems that a desert frontier is the one most easy to defend and most formidable to assault Mountains, rivers and seas have their difficulties, and are serious obstacles for an invader to tackle, but for impracticability they do not compare with even a narrow zone of barren land, where food and water are nonexistent and where bad ground makes transport either laborious or altogether impossible. Battlefields, like the sites of capitals, are not made by man, but are the outcome of geographical position. The chief lines of communication of the world, and consequently the warpaths of nations, are, in, like manner, determined by the lie of the land and its physical features. So long, for instance, as Egypt and Palestine are not under one rule, and so long as there is a likelihood of a recurrence of hostility between the powers that control these two countries, the desert barrier that separates them will be the scene of conflict. Being a narrow neck of land joining two continents, and being the only land link between two of the most fertile regions of the earth, it has always been, and will always be, an important line of communication. For the same reason it must retain its significance from a military standpoint. It chances that the link between Egypt and Asia is cursed by the blight of aridity. But the same providence that caused this area to be useless to man provided the more favored region of the Kile valley with an inimitable protection from envious foes. A hundred miles of waste is a better guard against invasion than any other natural feature; it is far less costly than modern fortifications and probably more effective. Yet, in spite of nature's bulwarks, this area has probably been the scene of more hostility than any other desert in the world. Inexorably, as it were, the silent wilderness has been disturbed by successive waves of migratory hordes and by the continual passing of military expeditions. There is no rest for this land; it seems to attract tragedy. The desert, Egypt's ancient barrier against intruding foes, has proved to be a formidable breakwater on to which many an enemy has hurled himself. Their efforts have been met with varying success. Although it has proved of no avail against determined and systematic attacks, it has caused a hostile advance on Egypt to be looked upon as a big undertaking. It would bt» foolish to treat such an obstacle lightly, bnt with sufficient initiative its difficulties can be successfully surmounted. It is noteworthy that desert frontiers to fertile lands also probably entail the responsibility of wild tribes to be kept at bay. The wilderness that fringed ancient China was a barrier against distant foes, but the nomads actually inhabiting that desert were the source of so much deafer that they might be considered the direct cause for the building of the Great WaH. In the same way tb* earJr inhabitants of the Nile valley did not consider nature's battlements snJBeaaat to repel the wfld nomadic tribes " " ""* swept In from arid so rasd them, 86 Xbey sapnlethis harrier by Unas of __ wtaiee ran from the MeaV ft» She Gmlf of labors of the ancients, the hostile desert being backed by the canal, which has rightly been described as "the most formidable military obstacle ever constructed by man." Invading foes must accomplish the toil of the desert march, they must arrive In some sort of "fitness," attack carefully prepared positions, succeed in breaking the defensive and cross the canal before they can rely on getting food and water. There is probably no newer method of dealing with the problems of supply on such a campaign than those employed by Alexander, Napoleon or Ibrahim Pasha. The more adaptable and the better acclimatized to the peculiar conditions are the forces in use the more simple does the problem become. To move bands of Bedouin to and fro across such country would be only asking them to live their everyday lives. No doubt many of the troops being employed by the Turks on the present venture are quite at home in such surroundings, can live hard and travel hard, but there cannot be a very great number of them. Numbers, it should be noted, have an abnormal influence in the East, where bluff plays such a large part in life. The Arab, in his own intertribal wars, depends largely upon giving an exaggerated idea of his numbers and strength. The issue of a desert engagement is often decided without a blow being struck, those in the minority giving in without resistance to those in the majority. It seems doubtful that the true desert warriors—the Bedouin—are being employed in any large extent Had the big tribes of Arabia been in perfect sympathy with the Turks they might have constituted a formidable array. But the children of Ishmael have not changed; they are still as "unstable as water." 'Even of those who have been commandeered, with their camels, large numbers have deserted and disappeared into the heart of the wilderness. So the great reserve of desert soldiery remains disused. The successful issue of a desert campaign depends upon a phenomenal ability to tackle the problems of supply and of transport The organization of these must be perfect in detail and absolutely reliable in action. In the old days, although military operations took much longer to come to a head than they do now, when the antagonists actually joined battle, the result was quickly decided. The decisive battles of the world have generally been decided between dawn and dusk. This is especially the case in Arab tactics. Sudden attack and swift retreat is the secret of desert warfare, for there is no time to waste. It may be recalled that In all former conflicts on the Egypto-TuFkish frontier the issue has not long hung in the balance. Alexander entered Egypt a week after he left Gaza, a distance of 120 miles. Napoleon only spent six and a half days on the road between hi* base at KatJeh and his arrival before Gaza. The advance guard of the Turks, In 1800, under Taher Pasha, left E! Arish on April 2 and actually took Balahieh. oa the Jarther side of the present canal, before the 12th of the month. Bat hi that ease, ft is true, there was flb serious opposrtSoa to J zbslr sjsvasjoa. BIRH SOBO M Q M ? S so* tJan Is sihtsath? the maxfca of that that the retreat which followed on the recent attack on the canal Is without precedent in the history of all former wars for the mastery of the eastern gates of Egypt. As regards the problem of transport, we have an object lesson in Napoleon's Syrian expedition of 1799. He concentrated about 14,00« picked men—13,000 Infantry and 1,000 cavalry—he inured his troops to the hardships they were about to undergo, and he foamed a special camel corps for scouting. He did not even attempt to move his artillery by land, but essayed to send it by sea. His plan for the transport of this comparatively small force entailed the services of 2,000 camels to carry water tor the three days' journey between Katieh and El Arish, where the supply was to be replenished. Another 1,000 camels bore provisions for the 14,000 men and 3,000 horseB for 15 days. Besides this, 3,000 mules were set apart solely for the conveyance of baggage. This was no light undertaking, even for such a | genius as Napoleon, and, as we know, it ended in a retreat which may be considered the turning point of his career. Consider for a moment what an army of animals must be necessary for the transport of the ^5,000 or more men who are said to be concentrated on the confines of Palestine. Camels will doubtless be employed in enormous numbers, both on account of their adaptability to foodless and waterless countries, and also because there is an • unlimited supply on the eastern borderlands of Syria and Palestine. They are invaluable for patrol work, and unequaled as beasts of burden. But they need careful attention and are by no means as hardy as one might suppose. So long as they are in condition, we.Il watered and sufficiently fed, they will undergo considerable strain, but If asked to do too much they literally go to pieces. The great herds of camels that have, no doubt, been driven in from the Arabian borderlands will never have been ridden or even saddled. Thirteen thousand camel saddles cannot he produced in a hurry, and this is about the number that will be required, estimated by Napoleon's allowance per man. Camels will carry heavy loads on even ground, they are easy to feed compared with horses, or even mules, and they do not need water every day. But it must be mentioned that when thev do drink they are in the habit of putting away a phenomenal amount of water. It is the maximum amount of water required that is the point in this case, and is likely to prove unprocurable. The bountiful wells of EI Arish. for instance, have been estimated to be capable of supplying the needs of 15,000 to 20,000 men. I do not knew the comparative drinking capacity of man and camel, but out of 11,009 camels, not to mention horses, moles aad men, there would be many to go thirsty. A still more BagaLacant pose* in the commissariat ajnras«eskents Is the fact that the desert wffi Tory aoon be bereft of even its poor camel scrub.

Burn ail ripened weed seeds. Remove all roses before the petals tall. Keep all seed pods off of plants in* tended for bloom. Tree-peonies are gross feeders and require deep, llch soil Encourage sturdy growth and pinch off all straggling branches. Too rich soil encourages growth at the expense of bloom. Rambler roses should be trimmed moderately as soon as done flowering. If dry weather sets in, do not neglect to stir the soil and mulch. This is important Half the plants which refuse to grow for amateurs are starved to death, op killed by kindness. Adjust the knives of the lawnmower to cut within two inches of the roots of the grass. When watering plants, do not force the water against the plant; let it fall In the form of a shower. Do not neglect to mark the wild flowers NOW which yon wish to transplant later in the border. Stir In about the roots of the tea rosea a little finely powdered bonemeal Pick the blossoms of pansiea, naetarttams and sweet peas every day. If allowed to seed they cease to bloom. For gross feeders, such as cannas, ealadhuns, etc, a thick mulch of strawy barnyard manure and plenty of water insures success. Pinch back the tops of the searWP^do runner; see that all climbers have support, and watch for insect pests. Stake the tube roses, gladioli, dahlias and other plants likely to be blown down by the wind or broken by storms. Lily and other bulbs are apt to split up into small bulbs if the drainage Is clogged, or the soil kept too wat.. Keep the chrysanthemums in a shady place during the summer, water regularly, pinch into shape, prune and train. Keep the plant free from insect pests. To root an ivy geranium, make a hole under the leaves of the large plant, set the slip about three inches deep, allowing three joints to be under the soil, and they are almost sure to root. Give liquid manure only when the ground is moist; the rootB cannot absorb the fertilizer when in want of water; hence, the giving of fertilizers during drought often results in the death of the plant In time of drought If water enough to soak the ground is not to be. had regularly, it la better to give none to most plants, as in that case plants will adjust themselves to prevailing conditions. If surface waterings are given during dry weather, the surface roots win start to receive i t and when it Is withheld these roots will die and the plants suffer thereby. In trying to save seeds of many plants, tie a little cheesecloth bag over the seed pod Just before ft ripens, so the pod, when opening, cannot scatter the seeds. Many plants, hovover, not "come true" to seed. - y*s B S The reasons for Certain-teed Roofing Every buyer PPSKJS the proper ance, when he pays for the best quality, that a second or third quality will not be delivered. The market Some manufacturers with poor facilities too often meet competition by cutting quality. Some wholesalers buy any old quality, put their labels on it, and say it is the best Our Certain-teed label is backed by the written guarantee of t£Two3oV1argest manufacturer of asphalt roofings. It gives each buyer the aasurance wanted, and our unequalled facuities for manufacturing enable us to sell it at a very reasonable price. _ These are the reasons for Certain-teed Roofing We invite every one -interested to come to our milk and see how we make the goods. We know that our Otrtain-tmtd Roofing is the best quality that we can make. It's the best quality that can b"cmade to Last and remain waterproof on die roof. It is made with that one purpose in view. We also make cheap grade, poor quality roofings to meet the demand for very temporary roofs, but the Certain-tmed label goes only on our best quality, longest life product. It is the grade which carries our Company name and endorsement and guarantee—1-ply 5 years, 2-ply 10 years, 3-ply 15 years. If you want the tight quality and want to be sure you are eetttaflr what yon pay for, insist on the C+rtajn-tffd label, The price is reasonable. No one can tell the quality of a piece of roofing* by looking' at it.

The paper baa always been dated Thursday and printed on Wednesday. We find there are many who send news, etc., on Wednesday, thinking from the date of the paper that we print on Thursday, thus causing the copy to reach us too late for publication.

FIFTEEN KILLED IN • CAR ACCIDENT F R E I G H T T R A I N CRASHES INTO TROULEY ON CROSSING IN DETROIT. NOVICE MOTORMAN IS HELD Passengers Are Trapped In Closed Street Car and Are Crushed and Mangled Beyond Recognition. Detroit—Trapped in a Fort street- River Rouge car handled by a novice motorman, 15 persons, 1*1 of them women, were ground to death under the trucks of a freight train of the Detroit, Toledo & lronton railroad Wednesday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock at the crossing on West Jefferson avenue, near Dearborn avenue. Surgeons, police autos and ambulances were quickly rushed to the scene ox the accident and 26 persons, badly injured, were taken to the Solray hospital. Following the Questioning of the car men at headquarters Wednesday night the statement was given out that the accident was due to the failure of Motorman Westover to see the "•top" signal of the conductor. The conductor said that he had signalled to "come ahead" while the car was still standing, but that when he saw the proximity of the train he reversed the signal. The car was crushed under the trucks of the forward freight car of a train of 25 loaded with soda ash and plgiron which was being pushed north from Zug iBland. The train, according to the crew members, was traveling at a rate of four and a half miles an hour. With the car standing near the crossing while the conductor went on ahead to make sure of a clear track, the motorman had an unobstructed view and could easily see the train as it backed over the River Rouge bridge. Every passenger on the south-side of the car could see the oo-comlng train. Then a thrill of horror ran through the passengers as they felt their car move forward Into the path of the train. Many sat transfixed as the forward freight car bore down upon them while others shrieked and tried to fight their way out of the vestibules. With a crash the train struck the oar squarely In the middle and swept it to the Bide of West Jefferson avenue. The motorman jumped and several men on the rear platform escaped by leaping. The freight carried] the car upright, with its cargo of screaming, fighting men and women struggling to escape; and crushed the corner of the Delray railroad station with one end of the car and the candy store of O. Climer, 2382 West Jefferson avenue, with the other. Several elec trie light poles came down at the same time. Twenty feet farther on the car dropped upon its side in front of the freight car, and then began the horrible grinding and crushing of human bodies in the tangled steel and wood of the car, which ended 200 feet from the crossing.

Smith, aaorotary of the Maake«oifc<feanovia* latarurbaa Promotion Co, in Chicago—Lockout of 16,000 union carpenters assumed serious proportions Saturday, tieing up operations valued at more than 130,000,000 on 4,- 000 buildings in Chicago being erected by 1,200 contractors, and throwing out of employment 125,000 wage earners, thousands of whom had no connection with the building Industry itself. The Lumber Dealers' association announced that 5,000 men would be discharged pending settlement of the strikes and lockouts, These men have had no part in the contentions between the Building Construction Employers' association and the union forces which refused to bind themselves to a three-year contract designed to prevent sympathetic strikes and their attendant evils. The board of arbitration was ordered to meet by Gov. Edward F. Dunne. The board does not have authority to settle labor disputes, but is empowered to investigate a»d make public the findings. The contractors, it was announced, have withdrawn their previous offer of a wage Increase and if the carpenters returned to work it would be at the old rate of 65 cents an hour. The carpenters demanded 70 cents. The contractors offered a two and onehalf cent Increase for the last 18 months- of the proposed three-year agreement The contractors are pledged and bonded to maintain their stand until every union in the structural trades comes to terms. The terms include an anti-strike agreement covering a period of three years. The union leaders declared that the strike would not end until the demands of the men for an Increase In wages had been granted.

ASK NEW TRIAL FOR NEGRO Attorney for Kimbrough Claims to Have Evidence Clearing Client. Saginaw—Developments that are considered of importance occurred in the Charles Kimbrough case Saturday. Affidavits have been secured that, it is believed, will clear the Negro of the charge of slaying and burning the body of Rose Laundry, 8 years old, in a candy factory for which he was recently sent to Marquette prison for life. Attorney Robert J. Curry has secured an affidavit of a man in Saginaw county, who knew the Negro, that he was in Harry's picture theatre at 6:30 o'clock the night of January 3 and saw Kimbrough watohlng the pictures. Kimbrough has repeatedly stated he was at this picture show, but because he had been in Saginaw a short time he couldn't tell any one who was at the same show. This would provide a clear alibi for the Negro, as the girl did not leave her home to go to the McCray restaurant until about 6:30 o'clock. Curry, on this Information, will ask a new trial NEW PLAN FOR CALIFORNIA Bill for Non-Partisan Stats Elections Passed By Legislature.

Hansen is a farmer living near Claret, Sauk., and as an old resident of Minnesota, takes strong exception to some of the articles appearing in American papers disparaging the true conditions in Western Canada. The "Cottonwood Current" of Cottonwood, Minn., an important weekly paper in the southwestern part of the state, recently published a letter from Mr. Hansen; which is interesting reading. In his letter Mr. Hansen makes a splendid case for Western Canada against those who seek' to deter farm* ers in the States from settling in Can* ada. He says: "The district in which we live is a fair comparison to any other district In the country, made up mostly of settlers from the States. The majority here consists of Americans from Minnesota, Iowa and the Dakotas, with a few Canadians and an odd Englishmen. We have been here eleven years, ever since this part of the country was settled, and the majority have dotfe well. If they have not, it is certainly not the fault of the country. "There has not been a crop failure In this district since settled. This year was the poorest, caused by lack of rain, although a fair estimate of wheat is about twelve bushels per acre, average, and oats about ten. Some farmers got as much as twentyfive bushels of wheat per acre, and we all got good prices. "The laws of Canada are nearly the same as those of Minnesota, and we enjoy the same privileges. "So far as the European war Is concerned, we suffer to a certain extent as all the world does. Canada is giving a helping hand to her Mother Country, and we American-Canadians firmly believe it is Canada's duty to do so. I have not heard one American- Canadian who has expressed a different opinion. Canada is not compelled to send her soldiers. The service rendered is all voluntary service. "The accusation that old settlers are considered undesirable citizens and are forced out of business, even in danger of being 'mobbed at their own fireside,' is all false, a mere fabrication in the mind of badly Informed correspondents. There are a few who have been discovered carrying letters, others papers and plans to prove them spies, and whose object is to conspire against the government. These have Justly been arrested. Such a class of people cannot be considered good citizens, whether living in Canada or in the United States. "Some people are failures wherever they are, and as an excuse for failure in their country It may seem easy to put the blame on the Canadian people and the Canadian government Fact is, thousands of people from the United States are emigrating to Canada at the present time, which shows they ere not afraid of the Canadian govern* ment 'The government is giving away, free of charge, provision through the winter to farmers in certain districts affected by the drought, and is also •ending seed grain to those in need of help. This Is very different from driving settlers away from their own homes. 1 have always observed that the people who lore their Mother Country most are those who make the Vest eltSse& s of their adopted country. The glorious 'Stars and Stripes' win always stand for what is good and nobia to us, though we live la a neighbor country where we also enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.'

He neither turned nor moved at any one's entrance, but left It to Mr. Black to do the honors and make the best of a situation, difficult, If not Inexplicable to ail of them. Nor could it be seen that any of these men—city officials, prominent citizens and old friends, recognized his figure or suspected his identity. Beyond a passing glance his way, they betrayed neither curiosity nor interest, being probably sufficiently occupied in accounting Jtor their own presence in the home of their once revered and now greatly maligned compeer. Judge Ostrander, attacked through his son, was about to say or do something which each and every one of them secretly thought bad better be left unsaid or undone. Yet none showed any disposition to leave the place; and when, after a short, uneasy pause during which all attempts at conversation failed, they heard a slow and weighty step approaching down the hall, the suspense waa such that no one but Mr. Black noticed the quick whirl with which Oliver turned himself about, nor the look of mortal anguish with which he awaited the opening of the door and his father's entrance among them. No one noticed, I say, until, simultaneously with the appearance of Judge Ostrander on the threshold, a loud cry swept through the room of "Don't! don't!" and the man they had barely noticed, flashed by them all, and fell at the judge's feet with a smothered repetition of his appeal: "Don't, father, don't!" been summoned there, and knowing, gazed earnestly at these two faces. Twelve years of unappeased longing, of smothered love, rising above doubts, persisting in spite of doubts, were concentrated into that one instant of mutual recognition. The eye of the father was upon that of the son and that of the son upon that of the father and for them, et least in this first instant of reunion, the years were forgotten and sin, sorrow and on-coming doom effaced from "their mutual consciousness. Then the tide of life flowed back into the present, and the Judge, motioning to his son to rise, observed very distinctly: "Don't Is an ambiguous -word, my son, and on your lips, at this Juncture, may mislead those whom I have called here to hear the truth from us and the truth only. You have heard what hap pened here a few days ago. How a long-guarded, long-suppressed suspicion-** o guarded and so suppressed that 1 had no Intimation of Its existoncc even, found vent at a moment of public indignation, and I heard yon, you, Oliver Ostrander, accused to my face of having in some boyish fit of rage struck down the man for whose death another has lone stooe paid the penalty. This yon have already been told." "Yea,** The word cut sharply through the silence; but the fire with which the young man rose aad faced them all showed him at his best "But surely, no person present believes ft No one can who knows you aad the principles in which I have been raised. This fellow whom I beet as a boy has waited long to start this damnable report 8urely he win get no htwins; from unprejudiced aad intelligent men." "The police have listened to him.

Mrs. Scoville, who has loved you like a mother, longs to betters in your innocence, and cannot" A low cry from the ban. It died away unheeded. "And Mr. Black, her husband's counsel*' contused the father, in the firm, low tones of one who for many long days and nights had schooled himself for the duty for this hour, "shares he? reeling. He has tried not to; but he does. They hare found evidences you know them; proofs which might mot hare amounted to much had It not been for the one mischievous fact which hast undermined punUe confidence and given point to these attacks.

Not satisfied with the toll we have both paid in these years of Buffering and repression— unmindful of the hermit's life I have led and of the heart disappointments you have borne, its cry for punishment remains insistent Gentlemen —hush! Oliver, it is for -me to cry 'Don't' now—John Scoville was a guilty man—a murderer and a thief— but he did not wield the stick which killed Algernon Etheridge. Another hand raised that No, do not look at the boy. He is Innocent! Look here! look here!" ,And with one awful gesture, he stood still—while horror rose like a wave and engulfed the r o o m - choking back breath and speech from every living soul there, and making a silence more awful than any sound— or so they all felt till his voice rose again and they heard: "You have trusted to appearances; you must trust now to my word. I am the guilty man, not Scoville, and not Oliver, though Oliver may have been in the ravine that night and even handled the bludgeon I found at my feet in the recesses of Dark Hollow." Then consternation spoke, and muttered cries were heard of "Madness! I. is not we who are needed here but a physician!" and dominating all, the ringing shout: "You cannot save me so, father. I hated Etheridge and 1 slew him. Gentlemen," he prayed in his agony, coming close into their midst "do not be misled for a moment by a father's devotion." His lifted head, his flashing eye, Then, each man knew why he had -drew every look. Honor confronted them In a countenance from which all reserve had melted away. No guilt showed there; he stood among them, a heroic figure. Slowly, and with a dread which no man might measure, the glances which had just devoured his young but virile countenance passed to that of the father. They did not leave it again. "Bon?" With what tenderness he spoke, but with what a ring of desolation. "I understand your effort and appreciate it; but It is a useless one. You cannot deceive these friends of ours—men who have known my life. If you were in the ravine that night so was I. If you handled John Scovllle's stick, so did I, and after you! Let us not struggle for the execration of mankind; let it fall where it rightfully belongs. It can bring no sting keener than that to which my breast has long been subject Or—" and here his tones sank, in a last recognition of ail he was losing forever, "if there Is suffering In a once proud man flinging from him the last ragjtf respect with which he sought to cover the hideous nakedness of an unsuspected crime, it is lost in the Joy of doing Justice to the son who would take advantage of circumstances to assume his father's guilt" But Oliver, with a fire which nothing could damp, spoke up again: "Gentlemen, will you see my father so degrade himself? He has dwelt so continually upon the knowledge which separated us a dosen years ago that he no longer can discriminate between the guilty aad the innocent Would he have sat In court; would he have uttered sentences; would he here kept his seat upon the beach for all these years, If he had borne within his breast this secret of personal guilt? No. It is not in human nature to play such a part I was guilty—aad I fled. Let the act speak for itself. The respect Cue a y father must act be taken from him." Confusion and counter-confusion! What were they to think! Alanson Black, aghast at this dread dilemma, ran over in his mind an that had led him to accept Oliver's guilt as proved, aad then, la Immediate opposition to i t the details of that old trial aad the • Judge's consequent life; and, voicing the helpless contusion of the others, observed with forced firmness: ~We have beard much of Oliver's wanderings in the ravine on that fatal aight but nothing: of yours, Judge Ostrander. It is not enough for you to say that you were there; you must prove i t " T h e proof is in my succumbing to the shock of hearing Oliver's aame sssoeiated with tads crlsae. Had be The gesture accompanying this oath was a grand one, convincing in its fervor. Its majesty and power. But facta are stubborn things, and while most of those present were still thrilling under the effect of this oath, the dry voice of District Attorney Andrews was heard for the first time, in these words: "Why, then, did you, on the night of Bela's death, stop on your way across the bridge to look back upon Dark Hollow and cry in the bitterest tones which escape human lips, 'Oliver! Oliver!' You were heard to speak this name, Judge Ostrander," he hastily put i t as the miserable father raised his hand in lneActual protest. "A man was lurking in the darkness behind you, who both saw and heard you. He may not be the most prepossessing of witneBB, but we cannot discredit bis ctory." "Mr. Andrews, you have no children. To the man who has, I make my last appeal Mr. Renfrew, you know the human heart both *»a a father and a pastor. Do you find anything unnatural in a guilty soul bemoaning its loss rather than its sin, in the spot which recalled both to his overburdened spirit T" "No." The -word came sharply, and it sounded decisive; but the ones which followed from Mr. Andrews were no less so. "That is not enough. We want evfc dence, actual evidence, that you are not playing the part your son ascribes to you.'V The judge's eyes glared, then suddenly and lncomprehensively softened till the quick fear that his mind as well as his memory had gone astray, vanished in a feeling none of them could have characterized, but which gave to them all an expression of awe. "I have such evidence," announced the judge. "Come." Turning, he stepped into" the hall. Oliver, with bended head and a discouraged mien, quickly followed. Alanson Black and the others, casting startled and inquiring looks at each other, brought up the rear. Deborah Scoville was nowhere to be seen. At the door of his own room, the Judge paused, and with his hand on the curtain, remarked with unexpected composure: "You have all wondered, and others with you, why for the last ten years I have kept the gates of my house shut against every comer. I am going to show you." And with no further word or look, scarcely even giving attention to Oliver's anguished presence, he led them into the study and from there on to that inner door known and talked of through the town as the door of mystery. This he slowly opened with the key he took from his pocket; then, pausing with the knob in his hand, he said: "In the years which are past but two persons beside myself have crossed this threshold, and these only under my eye. Its secret was for my own breast. Judge what my remorse has been; judge the power of my own secret self-condemnation, by what you see here." And, entering, he reached up, and pulled aside the carpet he bad strung up over one end of the room, disclosing amid a number of loosened boards, the barred cell of a condemned convict "This was my bed, gentlemen, till a stranger coming into my home, made such an acknowledgment of my sin impossible !" have undone us. To the sssetlon, 'Why these barrtsrsr I can find no but the one wafts* ends this nyeeLf, I ask you to de Out of the past through his crime aad met my own, I should have been prepared for such) a conrtngortffy, aad sot whelmed by * * "No, before O c i r CHAPTER XVIII. Dark Hollow. Later, when the boards he had loosened in anticipation of this hour were aU removed, they came upon a packet of closely written words hidden la the framework of the bed. It read as follows: Whosoever lays hands on this MS. win already be acquainted with my crime. If he woald ~atso know its cause aad the full story of my hypocrisy, let him read these lines written, as it were, with my heart's blood. I loved Algernon Etheridge; I shall never have a dearer friend. His odd ways, his leak, possibly ungainly, fi> ure crowned by a head of scholarly refinement his amiability when pleased, his irascibility when crossed, formed a character attractive to me from Its very contradictions; and after my wife's death aad before my son Oliver reached a companionable age, it was la my intercourse with this man 1 found my most solid satisfaction. Yet we often Quarreled. His dogmatism frequently ran counter to my views, aad, being myself a man of quick aad violent temper, hard words sometimes passed between us, to be forgotten the next minute la a handshake, or some other token of mutual esteem. These dissensions—if such they could be called—never took place except in the privacy of his study or We thought too much of each to display our differences of opinion abroad or even la the presence of Oliver; aad however heated our arguments or whatever our topic we latailabiy parted friends, ttU one fateful aight. O Ood! that years of repentance. / sell-hatred and secret immolation can never undo the deed of an infuriated moment Eternity may console, but it can never make me innocent of the blood of my heart's brother. We had had our usual wordy disagreement over some petty subject in which he was no nearer wrong nor 1 any nearer right than we had been many times before; but for some reason I found it harder to pardon him- For the first time In our long acquaintance, I let Algernon Etheridge leave me, without any attempt at conciliation. If only I had halted there! If, at sight of my empty study, I had not conceived the mad notion of waylaying him at the bridge for the hand-shake 1 missed, I might havo been a happy man now, and Oliver—But why dwell upon these mlght-have-be^ns! What happened was this: Disturbed in mind, and finding myself alone in the house, Oliver having evidently gone out while we two were disputing, I decided to follow out the impulse I have mentioned. Leaving by the rear, I went down the lane to the path which serves as a Bhort cut to the "bridge. That I did this unseen by anybody is not so strange when you consider the hour, and how the only person then living in the lane was, in all probability, in her kitchen. It would have been better for me, little as I might have recognized it at the time, had she been where she could have witnessed both my going and coming and faced me with the fact. John Scoville, In his statement, says that after giving up his Bearch for his little girl he wandered up the ravine before taking the path back which led him through Dark Hollow. This was false, as well as the story he told of leaving his stick by the chestnut tree in the gully at foot of Ostrander lane. For I was on the spot, and I know the route by which he reached Dark Hollow and also through whose agency the stick came to be there. Read and learn with what tricks the devil beguiles us men. I was descending this path, heavily shadowed, as you know, by a skirting of closely growing trees and bushes, when just where it dips into the Hollow, 1 heard the sound of a hasty foot come crashing up through the under- "Gentlemen, Will You 8~o My Father So Degrade Hlmselfr brush from the ravine and cross the path ahead of me. A turn In the path prevented me from seeing the man himself, but as you will perceive and as I perceived later whea circumstances recalled it to my mind, I had no need to see him to know who it was or with what intent he took this method of escape from the ravine into the fields leading to the highway. Scoville's stick spoke for him, the stick which I presently tripped over and mechanically picked up, without a thought of the desperate use-to which I was destined to put i t Etheridge was coming. I could hear his whistle on Factory road. There was ao mistaking i t It was unusually shrill one aad had always been a cause of Irritation to me, but at this moment It was more; it roused every antagonistic Impulse within me. He whistling like a galliard, after a parttag which had dissatisfied me to such aa extent that I had come all this distance to ask his pardon aad see his old smile again! Xfterward, long afterward, I was able to give another Interpretation to his show of apparent self-satisfaction, but then I saw nothing but the contrast it offered to my own tender regrets, aad my Mood began, to boll and my temper rise to such a point that recrimination took the place of apology when la another mowe came together in the open between the end of the bridge and Dark Hollo* - (TO BS CJ0NTWUC1>.)

"It la. forbidden to declare that no* quarter shall be given." So says The Hague regulations. That Is a more modern rule than you would think. The duke of Wellington said that he understood that the defenders of a fortress taken by storm had no right to quarter, although he, himself, did not as a rule adopt such a cruel practice. A century ago when a feeble garrison stubbornly held out In a feebly fortified place against a force manifestly superior and apparently able to take it eventually, It was usually refused quarter. There was an attempt to justify the refusal by a doctrine of "futile resistance"—that he who uselessly resisted and caused assaulting or besieging forces unnecessary loss of life did not deserve to have his own life spared. But that doctrine has been rejected. Carried to Its logical conclusion it would mean that every member of a weaker force in any kind of armed contest could be killed.—William M. Collier In the Forum. For Defective Thermometer. When the mercury thread in a thermometer tube separates Into two portions, with a gap between, the simplest remedy and one that usually proves satisfactory on the first trial, is as follows: Place the thermometer In the end of a long stocking, the bulb being towards the toe, and whirl at arms length as rapidly as possible. Centrifugal force Is thus produced, the effect of which Is to force the detached portion of mercury back until It joins the thread nearer the bulb. If not successful at the first attempt, Immerse in hot water for a moment and try again. The Language. "I have it in for Smith." "I heard you were out with him."— Baltimore American.

Bamboo Poles Form the Trellises for the Rambling Roses, White, Pink and Red. Iris Is Planted Between the Archer. FOR SUNLESS WINDOWS By EBEN E. REXFORO. It often happens that the woman who loves plants has no sunny window in which to grow them and under the impression that they cannot be successfully grown without sunshine, she does not attempt their cultivation, thus depriving herself of a great deal of pleasure, especially In the winter. There*ls no reason why the lover of plants should be without their company in the winter, provided of course that the temperature of the room can be regulated to keep out the frost, and some of the plants that can be grown In windows that are without sunshine are among our most desirable ones for house culture. First on the list I would place the Boston fern. Nearly everyone Is familiar with this plant It require! only the ordinary attention. Give It a soil of garden loam with enough coarse, sharp sand worked into it to make it friable, a liberal but not an excessive amount of water and a temperature several degrees above the frost point and anyone may be reasonably sure of success with it It does not do very well, however, in steam-heated, gas-lighted rooms. No plants will flourish under such conditions, though many will live on in* definitely under them. The aspidistra is about the only plant I would dare to recommend to those living In rooms heated and light* ed aa mentioned above. Tola plant has almost an iron constitution, which enables it to withstand Influences that wouM aeon kill moat plants. U seems to care nothing for the sunshine and therefore n excellently adapted to cultivation in snnless rooms. If not subject to the debilitating effect of steam heat it will make a most luxuriant growth and its jich dark green leaves will afford a vast amount of pleasure. While it is able to withstand unfavorable conditions better than other plants, it is always grateful for good care and the plants that are cared for well are always the ones that give the best satisfaction, keep in mind. English ivy is an old favorite. Twined up around the window It J* a beautiful sight to see, I know of no vine having more attractive foliage. PLANTS THAT GROW IN SANDY SOIL Good plants for sandy soil are verbenas, asters and phlox These are all annuals and do particularly well in this coil. Latrix, biasing star or gay feather Is a capital plant for sandy soil although it does well in any good soil. It is a hardy perennial with long spikes of purple 'and rosy purple flowers, blooming from July to September, growing from three to four feet high. APPLE EPIGRAMS The apple is the aristocrat of foods and the best medicine. The climate and condition that are best for apples are best for man. Apples are an antidote for drink and tobacco. Apples carry the pure food stamps of the great physician. The man in the orchard is always a good citizen. TRY AMARANTHUS The Amaranthus is a much ses> lected plant It can be made more effective than the canna or the Celadlum. With It color-schemes in red, and red and yellow, and red, yellow and green, tan very easily be worked out. Give it a trial Cyclamen plants should be rested during the summer months, not allowed to dry off entirely, bat watered sparingly and kept as dormant as possible. A •eawrtJfw!

The ground breakb sharply up to high plateaus and rugged mountains and the jungle throws a green barrier across the way. The man who would find his way up the river must be prepared for rapids and cataractB, for careful paddling, where a mistake means disaster, and for long portage and toilsome climbs. Therefore few men attempt the journey, although the "perfect waterfall," five times as high as Niagara, is there to reward their effort. Mr. Warfield describes such a trip and what he found at the end of it. "Here was a mighty river, pouring with a force that suggested terrible wrath, over a precipice 800 feet high. down into what seemed unfathomable depths. "The top of the fall is slightly reentrant and measured at the time of my vlait 400 feet across. The distance from there to the first obstruction is '741 feet, while the total drop is 882. It is therefore nearly five times as hi^h as Niagara, but its finer proportions, its concentration in this one tremendous phenomenon, make it incomparably more grand. It is the perfect waterfall, the most beautiful manifestation of Nature's lavishness and splendor."—Outing. COLT DISTEMPER oafae,e?f la HteiLd. AAtMrto m the biooo ea4 ezpeto senef of meofaaejamper.

FOBS, who has been three times elected chief executive of the state of Mass. The announcement of his changed views was made by ex-Governor Foas at exercises at the Franklin Union, in Boston recently. "I have been thinking that it's about time for me to stop voting for the licensed saloon/' said Mr. Foes. "So long as I make it a rule to have my superintendents and foreman discharge men who are addicted to liquor, how inconsistent it is for me to support an open saloon near my manufacturing establishment, where the men have to go back and forth two or three times a day. "This question of prohibition is a very large one. It may be the most important social, political and moral question of today. Certainly it is an economic question. From an economic viewpoint, why shouldn't we have National Prohibition? "Let us learn this lessen from the European war. Russia's efficiency has been improved thirty per cent as a result of the prohibition of vodka, according to a report of Winston Churchill. If we want to be as efficient as other nations we must have prohibition. I have come to this conclusion purely from an economic consideration." U. E. S. idant. In this eaose.

It's many seasons back since we decided we wanted to know Pinckney and to that end we inaugarated the sales we've held in Pinckney in seasons past. Now we want ynu to know us better, and we feel the best way to accomplish this is to have you visit us at our home in Stockbridge, where you will find by far the largest showing of ladies' and men's ready to wear to be seen in this section.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, April 28, 1915 No. 18 Six Concept* and One Lecture Will Constitute the Course Will Be Given In July Under Auspices ot the Plnckney Ladles Reading Circle FRED M0NTA6UE COMMITS SUICIDE VOVL CXLM/k, Blows off Head With a Shot Gun Early Monday Morning The Piockney Reading Circle have arranged for a Chautauqua to be held in Piuckney at the opera house, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 21, 22 and 23. The chautauqua is a lecture course composed of five conce/ts and one lecture hired through the Redpath Lyceum Bureau of Chicago. The whole course of six entertainments will be offered to* II. Enthusiastic endeavor should be put forth by every individual to make the chautauqua a success, as it will be an all around benefit to the people of Piuckney and vicinity. The entertainments will be held both afternoon and evening during the three days and they will be of the best the bureau offers. This chautauqua will be the first ever held in this village but let it not be the last, through any failure on the part of the people to respond by attending the entire course this summer. People of Gregory and vicinity were very much shocked Monday to learn that Fred Montague, a farmer living in Iosco township, had committed suicide at 5:30 Monday morning by blowing off his head with a shot gun. He was forty-five years of age and leaves a wife and four children to mourn their loss. It is reported that despondency over money matters was the cauBe of his act. Europe and Temperance A pamphlet given to the recruits for the German army says: ''There is no justification for calling beer "liquid bread"; a glass of heavy beer costing 25 pfennigs has no more nourishment than a piece of cheese costing 1. pfennig, Almost all excesses and disturbances in the army are traced to drink. It is mostly beer that causes the mischief. Beer is "not the harmless drink that it is supposed to be." In 1910 at the dedication of a new naval academy the Kaiser said. "The next war will require of you, strong nerves, these are undermined by alcohol. You will ha?e an opportunity to see marine targets and the action of modern guns on ships. Then the word will be strong nerves and cool heads. The nation that drinks the least alcohol will be the win- A Knocker's Creed I believe that nothing is right. I believe that everything is wrong. I believe that I alone have the right idea. The town is wrong, the editor is wrong, the teachers are wrong, the people are wrong, the things they are doing are wrong and they are doing them in the wrong way anyhow. I believe I could fix things if they would let me. If they don't I will get a lot of other fellows like myself add we will have a law passed to make others do things the way WE want them done. I do not believe that the town ought to grow. It is too big now. I believe in fighting every public improvement a n d in spoiling everybody's pleasure. I am always to the front in opposing things and never yet have I advanced an idea or supported a movement that would make people happier or add to the pleasure of man, woman or child. I am opposed to fun and am happiest at a funeral. I believe in starting reforms that will take all the joy out of life. It's a sad world and I am glad of it. Amen.

MICHIGAN NEWS BRIEFS CRAZED BY REJECTED LOVE Crime Was Evidently Premeditated As M.an Bought Gun For Occasion— No Inquest la Thought Necessary. Battle Creek—No inquest was held Into the Bhooting affair of early Friday evening, in which Frank S. Newman, 21 years old, slew his sweetheart, Hiss Millie Glenn Havens. Newman, after an hour's conversation with Miaa Havens, in an alley near her home, on Stone avenue, shot her without warning, the bullet entering near the neck. The girl ran, and, Just as Newman fired a second shot, tell In the anna of her father, Bert J. Havens, and expired. Newman started to run away, but suddenly stopped and shot himself twice, first in the stomach and then In the mouth. He lived several minutes, during which men surrounded him and swore they would hang him if he didn't die from his wounds. Miss Havens had rejected Newman When he proposed marriage, her parents objecting to him because he was {foreigner and also because he had een in jail for breaking into a cot- "* tage at Lake Goguac. The two be* — came acquainted while both were employed in Nichols hospital last September. Newman evidently had premeditated the crime, after Miss Havens had returned a shawl which he gave her recently on her seventeenth birthday. He had evidently bought the gun for the occasion, for he was not in the habit of carrying firearms. STATE ORDER IS REVERSED Judge Smith Rules That Road Need Not Build Siding. Charlotte—An opinion of unusual importance was filed by Judge Clemeat Smith Saturday when he overturned the judgment of the Michigan railroad commission, relative to an order directing the Grand Trunk to install a switch and siding at Bellevue for the use of Zlpp brothers, lime rock dealers. The court finds that the order of the commission 1B unreasonable and If installed as requested the switch and siding would be a source of great danger. The Grand Trunk had offered to install a siding, but not as directed by the commission. An appeal will probably be taken. Preparing for Spring Fires. Marquette—Every deputy fire warden in the upper peninsula has been warned to keep especially close watch for forest fires, the lack of rainfall this spring having made everything axceedingly dry and conditions being propitious for the outbreak and rapid spread of fires. Many brush fires are reported, but so far none of these have reached standing timber. As a result of the open winter and slight rainfall since cold weather, tlnSbered and brush lands are dry as tinder, and every day without rain increases the danger. Plans for Summer Meeting.

He was in no better mood than my- .oelf to encounter insult, and what had been a simple difference between as flamed into a quarrel which reached its culmination when he mentioned Oliver's name with a taunt, which the boy, for all his obstinate clinging to his journalistic idea, did not deserve. Knowing my own temper, I drew back into the Hollow. He followed me. I tried to speak. He took the word out of my mouth. This may have been with the intent •of quelling my anger, but the tone was rasping, and, noting this and not his words, my hand tightened insensibly about the stick which the devil (or John Scoville) had put in my hand. Did he see this, or was he prompted by some old memory of boyish quarrels that he should give utterance to that quick, sharp laugh of scorn! 1 shall never know, but ere the sound <had ceased the stick was whirling over my head—there came a crash and he fell My friend! My friend! Next moment the earth seemed too narrow, the heavens too contracted for my misery. That he was dead— that my blow had killed hint, I never -doubted for an instant. I knew it, as we know the face of Doom when once it has risen upon us. Never, never again would this lump of clay, which * few minutes before had filled the Hollow with shrillest whistling, breathe or think or speak. He was •dead, dead, dead!— And I? What was I? The name which no man hears unmoved, no amount of repetition makes easy to the tongue or welcome to the ear! . . . the name which I had heard launched in full forensic eloquence so many times in accusation against the wretches I had hardly regarded as being In the same human class as myself rang In my ears as though intoned from the very mouth of hell. I could not escape it. I should never be able to escape it again. Though I was standing in a familiar scene—a scene I had known and frequented from childhood, I felt myself as Isolated from my past and as completely set apart from my fellows as the shipwrecked mariner tossed to precarious foothold on his wavedashed rock. I forgot that other criminals existed. In that one awful moment I was In my own eyes the only blot upon the universe—the sole inhabitant of the new world into which I had plunged— the world of crimer-the world upon which I had sat in judgment before I knew— What broke the spell? God knows; all I can say is that, drawn by some other will than my own, I found my glance traveling up the opposing bluff till at its top, framed between the ragged wall and towering chimney of Spencer's Polly, I saw the presence I had dreaded, the witness who was to undo me. It was a woman—a woman with a little child in hand. I did not see her face, for she was Just on the point of turning away from the dissy verge, but nothing could have been plainer than the silhouette whleh these two made against the flush of that early evening sky. As long as I could catch a glimpse of this woman's fluttering skirt as she retreated through the rains, I stood there, self-convicted, above the man I bad slain, staring up at that blotch of shining sky which was as the gate of hell to me. Not till their two figures had disappeared and it was quite cleat again did the instinct of self-preservation return, and with it the thought of flight. . But where could I fly? No spot in the whoje world was secret enough to conceal me now. I was a marked man. Better to stand my ground, and take the consequences than to act the coward's part and slink away like those other men of blood I had so often sat la judgment upon. Had. I hut followed this impulse! Had I but gone among my fellows, shown them the mark of Cain upon my forehead and prayed, not for indulgence,' bat punishment What days of gnawing misery I should have been spared! The horror of what lay at my feet drove me from the Hollow. As my steps fell mechanically into "the trail down which I ha«Vcome in innocence and kindly purpose only a I s * mmnte* a startHmj thought shot my benmbed mm*. The had shows m haste ta her tvatag! There ted ness in her movement, a dignity and a grace which spoke of ease, not shock. What if she had not seen! What if my deed was as yet unknown! Might 1 not have time for—for what? I did not stop to think; I just pressed on, saying to myself, "Let Providence decide. If I meet any one before I reach my own dodr my doom is settled. If I do not—" And I did not As I turned into the lane from the ravine I heard a sound far down the slope, but it was too distant to create apprehension, and I went calmly on, forcing myself into my usual leisurely gait, if only* to gain some control over my own emotions before coming under Oscar's eye. That sound I have never understood It could not have been Scoville, since in the short time which had passed he could not have fled from the point where I heard him last into the ravine below Ostrander lane. But, if not he, who was it? Or if it was he, and some other hand threw his stick across my path, whose was this hand and why have we never heard anything about it? It Is a question which sometimes floats through my mind, but I did not give it a thought then. I was within sight of home and Oliver's possible presence; and all other dread was as nothing in comparison to what I felt at the prospect of meeting my boy's eye. My boy's eye! my greatest dread then, and my greatest dread still! In my terror of it I walked as to my doom. The house, which I had left empty, I found empty; Oliver had not yet returned. The absolute stillness of the rooms seemed appalling. Instinctively I looked at the clock. It had stopped. Not at the minute—I do not say it was at the minute—but near, very near the time when from an Innocent man I became a guilty one. Appalled at the discovery, I fled to the front. Opening the door, I looked out. Not a creature in sight, and not a sound to be heard. The road was as lonely and seemingly as forsaken as the houje. Had tima^ stopped here, too? Were the world and its interests at a pause in horror of my deed? For a moment I believed it; then more natural sensations Intervened, and, rejoicing at this lack of disturbance where disturbance meant discovery, I stepped inside again, rewound the clock, and sat down in my own room. My own room! Was It mine any longer? Its walls looked Btrange; the petty objects of my daily handling, unfamiliar, The change in myself infected everything I saw. I might have been In another man's house for all connection these things seemed to have with me or my life. Like one set apart on an unapproachable shore, I stretched hands in vain toward all that I had known and all that had been of value to me. But as the minutes passed I began to lose this feeling. Hope, which I thought quite dead, slowly revived. Nothing had happened, and perhaps nothing would. Men had been killed before, and the. slayer passed unrecognised. Why might it not be so In my case? If the woman continued to remain silent; if for any reason she had not witnessed the blow or the striker, who else waa there to connect me with an assault committed a quarter of a mile away? No one knew of the quarrel; and if they did, who could be so daring as to associate one of my name with an action so brutal? A judge slay his friend! It would take evidence of a very marked character to make even my political enemies believe that As the twilight deepened I rose from my seat and lit the gas. X must not be found skulking lnMhe dark. Then I began to count the ticks measuring off the hour. If thirty minutes more passed without a rush from without I might hope. If twenty?—if ten?—then it was five! then it was— Ah! The gate had clanged to. They were coming. I could hear s t e p s - voices—a loud ring at the bell. I moved slowly toward the front I feared the betrayal which my ashy face and trembling hands might make. Agitation after the news was to be expected, but not before! 8o I left the hall dark when I opened the door. And thus decided my futuro. For in the faces of the small crowd which blocked the doorway I detected nothing hut oommiaeratiosL; and when a voice apoke and I heard Olivers accents surcharged with nothing mora grievous than pity, I realised that my •eeret was as yet unshared, and. seeing that no man suspected ma, I bore to declare my fufit to anyone, This sudden restoration from sound less depths into the pure air of respect and sympathy confused me; and beyond the words "Killed! Struck down by the bridge!" I heard little, till slowly, dully, like the call of a bell Issuing from a smothering mist, I caught the sound of a name. It struck my ear and gradually it dawned upon my consciousness that another man had been arrested for my crime and that the safety, the reverence and the commiseration that were so dear to me had been bought at a price no man of honor might pay. But I was no longer a man of*bonor. I waa a wretched criminal swaying above a gulf of infamy in which I had seen others swallowed but had never dreamed of being engulfed myself. I never thought of letting myself g o - not at this crisis—not while my heart was warm with its resurgence Into the old life. And so I let pass this opportunity for confession. Afterwards It was too late—or seemed too late to my demoralized judgment My first real awakening to the extraordinary horrors of my position was when I realized that circum stances were likely to force me into presiding over the trial of the man Scoville. I feigned sickness, only to realize that my place would be taken by Judge Grosvenor. a notoriously prejudiced man. If he sat, it would go hard with the prisoner, and I wanted the prisoner acquitted. I- had no grudge against John Scoville. Of course I wanted to save him, and if the only help I could now give him was to sit as judge upon his case, then would I sit as judge whatever mental torture it involved. Sending for Mr. Black, I asked him point blank whether in face of the circumstance that the victim of this murder was my best friend, he would not prefer to plead bis case before Judge Grosvenor. He answered no: that he had more confidence In my equity even under these circumstances than in that of my able, but headstrong colleague, and prayed me to get Dead, Dead, Dead—and What Was I? welL He did not say that he expected me on this very account to show even more favor toward his client than I might otherwise have done, but I am sure that*he meant it; and, taking his attitude as an omen, I obeyed his injunction and was soon well enough to take my seat upon the bench. What men saw facing them from the bench was an automaton wound up to do so much work each~Hay. The seal Ostrander was not there, but stood, an unseen presence at the bar, undergoing trial side by side with John Scoville, for a crime to make angels weep and humanity hide its head: hypocrisy! But the days went by and the inexorable hour drew nigh for the accused man's release or condemnation. Circumstances were against him—so was his bearing, which I alone understood. It as all felt it was that of a guilty man, it was so because he had been guilty in intent if not in fact He had meant to attack Algernon Etheridge. H^ had run down the ravine for that purpose, knowing my old friend's whistle sad envying him his watch. Or why his foolish story of having left his stick behind him? But the sound of my approaching steps higher up on the path had stopped him in midcareer and sent him rushing up the slope ahead of me. W) I he came back after a short circuit o. the fields beyond, it was to find his crime forestalled and by the very weapon he had thrown Into the Hollow as he went scurrying by. He had meant to attack Btherldge. It was the shook of the discovery of the body, heightened by the use ho made of U to secure the booty thus thrown in his way without crime, whleh gave him the hang-dog look we all noted. That there were other reasons—that the place recalled another scene of brutality In which Intention had been followed by act, I did not then know. It was sufficient to me then that my safety was secured by his own guilty consciousness and the prevarications into which it led him. Instead of owning up to the encounter he had so barely, escaped he confined himself to the simple declaration of having heard voices somewhere near the bridge, which to all who know the ravine appeared Impossible under the conditions named. Yet, for all the incongruities and" the failure of his counsel to produce any definite impression by the prisoner's persistent denial of having whittled the stick or even of having carried It into Dark Hollow, I expected a verdict In his favor. Indeed, I was so confident of It that I suffered less during the absence of the jury than at any other time, and when they returned, with an air of solemn decision which proclaims unanimity of mind and a ready verdict, I was so prepared for his acquittal that for the first time since the opening of the trial I felt myself a being of flesh and blood, with human sentiments and hopes. And it was: "Guilty!" * When I awoke to a full realisation of what this entailed (for I must have lost consciousness for a minute, though no one seemed to notice), the one fact staring me in the face was that It would devolve upon me to pronounce bis sentence; upon me, Archibald Ostrander, an automaton no longer, but a man realizing to the full his part in this miscarriage of Justice. Chaos confronted me, and in contemplation of it, 1 fell UL Somehow, strange as It may appear, I had thougSt little of this possibility previous to this moment I found myself upon the brink of this new gulf before the dizziness of my escape from the other had fully passed. Do you wonder that I recoiled, sought to gain time, put off delivering the sentence from day to day? I had sinned—sinned irredeemably—but there are depths of Infamy beyond which a man cannot go. I had reached that point What saved me? A new discovery, and the loving sympathy of my son Oliver. One night—a momentous one to me—he came to my room and, closing the door behind him, stood with his back to it, contemplating me in a way that startled me. What had happened? What lay behind this new and penetrating look, this anxious and yet persistent manner? I dared not think. I dared not yield to the terror which must follow thought. Terror blanches the cheek and my cheek must never blanch under anybody's scrutiny. Never, never, so long as I lived. "Father"—the tone quieted me, for I knew from Its gentleness that he was hesitating to speak more on his own account than on mine—"you are not looking well; this thing worries you. I hate to see you like this. Is It just the loss of your old friend, or—or—" He faltered, not knowing how to proceed. "Sometimes I think," be recommenced, "that you don't feel quite sure of this man Scoville's guilt. Is that so? Tell me, father?" I did not know what to make of him. There waa no shrinking from me; no conscious or unconscious accusation in voice or look, but there was a desire to know, and a certain latent resolve behind it all that marked the line between obedient boyhood and thinking, determining man. With all my dread—a dread so great I felt the first grasp of age upon my heartstrings at that moment—I recognised no other course than to meet this inquiry of bis with the truth—that is, with just so much of the truth as was needed. No more, not one jot more.. I therefore answered, and with a show of self-possession at which I now wonder: T o n are not far from right Oliver. I have had moments of doubt The evidence, as you must have noticed, is purely circumstantial." "What evidence would satisfy you? What would you consider a conclusive proof of guilt?" I told him in the set phrases of my profession. Then," he declared as I finished, "you may rest easy as to this man's right to receive a sentence of death." I could not trust my ears. T know from personal observation," he proceeded, approaching me with a firm step, "that he is not only capable of the crime for which he has been convicted, but that he has actually committed one under similar circumstances, and possibly for the same end." And be told me the story of that night of storm and bloodshed—s story which will be found lying near this, In my alcove of shame and contrition. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

IS A HARBINGER OF SPRING In Selection of Food Bird Is Governed More by Abundance Than by Choice —Insects Form Important Part of Its Diet. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Although the bluebird frequents our orchards and gardens and builds its nests in cavities of trees, there seems to be no evidence that It Is a fruit thief. Neither does the bird seem to prey upon crops. The eastern bluebird, one of the most familiar and welcome of our feathered visitors, Is a common inhabitant of nil the states east of the Rocky Mountains from the Gulf of Mexico to southern Canada. In the Mississippi valley it winters as far north as southern Illinois, and in the East as far as Pennsylvania. It is one of the earliest northern migrants, and everywhere is hailed as a harbinger of spring. It is evident that in the selection of its food the bluebird is governed more by abundance than by choice. Predaceous beetles are eaten in spring, as they are among the first Inflects to appear; but in early summer caterpillars form an important part of the diet, and these are later replaced by grasshoppers. Beetles are eaten at all times, except when grasshopper! are more easily obtained. So far as its vegetable food is concerned, the bluebird is positively harmless. The only trace of any useful product in the stomachs consisted of a few blackberry seeds, and even these probably belonged to wild rather than cultivated varieties. Following is a list of the various seeds which were found: Blackberry, chokeberry, Juniper berry, partridge berry, greenbrier, Virginia creeper, bittersweet, holly, strawberry bush, false spikenard, wild aarsapartlla, sumac (several species) rose haws, sorrel, ragweed, grass and asparagus. This list shows how little the bird depends upon the farm or garden to supply its needs and how easily, by encouraging the growth of some of these plants, many of which are highly ornamental, the bird may be induced to make his home on the premises Two species of bluebirds Inhabit the western states—the mountain bluebird and the western bluebird. In their food habits they are even more to be commended than their eastern relatives. Their insect food is obtainable at all times of the year, and the general diet varies only in the fall, when some fruit, principally elderberries, Is eaten, though an occasional blackberry Bluebird—Above Azure Blue, Throat and Breast, Cinnamon, Belly White, or grape la also relished. Grasshoppers, when they can be obtained, are eaten freely during the whole season. The new Farmers' Bulletin (No. 630) of the "Dinted States department of agriculture describes this and other American birds useful to the farmer. It may be had by dropping a post card to the Editor Division of Publications, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. CHOLERA IS GERM DISEASE CELERY FOR SMALL GARDENS As a Rule It Is Only Moderately Profitable Crop—One of Most Delicious of Vegetables. (By L. M. BENXINUTON.) Celery is a fairly good market crop, but there are many other crops that pay better. In the famous Kalamazoo district in Michigan, where the crop is grown exclusively on hundreds of acres by experts, it is stated th;,t the average profit after rental ol land, growing and marketing expenses aTe paid does not exceed $100 per acr*. Occasionally we hear of a phenomenal crop, but as a rule celery lfi only moderately profitable. It is a fine crop for every tara^r to grow because it is one of the mo^t delicious vegetables produced. It 1* not difficult to grow celery. It require* exceedingly rich land, some commercial fertilizer and great care in cultivation and bleaching. In the Kalamazoo district, where very fine celery is grown, the soil is a very black, rich, spongy sort of loam, but good celery is grown on ^andy land and on clay loam. The ground must, however, be put into thorough cultivation »nd vo'7 Domestic Animals, Such as Dogs and Cats, ind Also Birds Are Frequent Carriers of Infection. Hog cholera generally Is recognized u a very contagious, infectious, germ disease. It is caused by an organism described as small enough to pass through any kind of filter and still retain Its disease producing power. No one has been able to identify the garm which is the specific cause of the disease. It is contained in the blood of sick animals, and is given off tn the urine; thus contaminating the yards and pern in which such animals are kept It may be carried by streams, on the shoes of persons who ener the yards or pens, or by horses of cattle from one farm to another. Dogs, cats, rabbits and birds also ate froQueat carriers of the infection. Superior Clover Honey. The quality of sweet clover honey Is ao fa* arepertor to any other that it is worth while to try It, even if the seed ooets 30 cents a round. Excellent Crop of Celery. heavily manured; in fact, it ought to be well fertilized for at least two years before being planted to celery. To prepare the ground for celery, rows should be made about four feet apart, and a light application of wellrotted stable manure and nitrate of potash placed in the furrows. The plants taken from the seed bed should be set about eight inches apart In the row and great care should be observed in placing the roots in their natural position without crushing and doubling them up. The soil then must be drawn firmly about the plants and all weeds must be kept down. Value of Agricultural Crops. According to government reportr, the value of agricultural crops of Iowa for 1914 was $350,000,000; Illinois was second with $319,000,000; Texas had $288,000,000; Kansas, $287,000,000, and Nebraska came next. Pretty good for the Mississippi valley, when three of the five highest producing states are in that section. Of course Texas gets into this class on account of its size. Indicates Poor Driver, Do you know that Jerking the bit or yelling or slashing annoys a team and indicates an incompetent driver? Good drivers are quiet, patient and kind and have little use for the whip. No horse should ever be struck unless he knows why and never unless clearly necessary. Watch for Rabbits. Keep watch over the young orchard for after heavy snow falls the rabbits may turn toward the young trees for food. Drill In the Seed, Do not broadcast small grain. If done a large portion of the seeds are not covered or are likely to be covered only slightly. More seed will be required and the chances for a good stand will not be good. Drill In the seed. That is the modern, upto- date method. Ton can't afford not to drill in your seed, for economy's sake and a larger yield at harvest time. Slugs In Home Garden, Slugs are always more or less of a nuisance tn the home garden. The poison bran mash for cutworms is a good remedy, or cabbage leaves can be dipped in dripping fat to which is added one teaspoonful of lead arsenate, and scatter about the garden. Saeka, boards, etc, are hiding places for these slugs, where they may be trapped and destroyed. Planting Tender Vegetables. Don't plant the tender vegetables until all the danger of frost la Over. If, however, frost does get the early planting, don't waste time repining*- reacted./ ALONG SIMPLE LINES NE VEST GOWNS DEVOID OP COMPLICATED DRAPERY. Picot Edge Much Used Instead of a Hem—Jet Retains Its Popularity —Organdie Embroidered In. Colors a Feature. Simplicity In line Is a strong feature, and it shows the straight path along which the winds are blowing. There is no complicated drapery or ornamentation. Naturally, the French designer uses more skill in the manipulation of material and effects are usually simpler than the methods when the American sewing woman goes to copy them. One of the well-known Fifth avenue importing houses in New Torfc said that it was no easy matter to rush out new gowns these days. The trick they turned in other times of taking an order for a frock on Saturday afternoon and delivering it on Wednesday morning was too difficult to contemplate now. The fashion for putting a picot edge everywhere has gained in importance, and when there are yards and yards of it on one> frock time WORKING IN FANCY LEATHER Most Economical of Any Blouse is Chiffon, Which May Be Combined With the Most Tailored of Street Suits, or Used to Lend a Festive Tone to -Fancy Costumes—This Blouse Is Trimmed With Black Dots Embroidered on White Chiffon, and Red Embroidery. must be allowed for such work. And yet this trick of putting the tiny pointed edge instead of a hem contributes to the seeming simplicity of a frock. Jet Is used in quantities, as everyone expected. Jenny likes it well and puts it under tulle more than she does over it. There is a strong feeling for the styles of 1840 and 1870, both of which call for quantities of lace and artificial flowers. Often the latter is used under the former or to loop it up into the festoons which the empress of France liked. That 1840 pointed basque, with its straight decolletage, also copied by Eugenie to show her lovely neck and shoulders, is used by*Caillot as well as by other houses. There is also the medieval decollet-, age, which Is cut in a straight rine across the collar bone and which is distressingly ugly. Cheruit and some of her followers almost discard the deep decollete line and bring the frocks well up on the chest The square front with the high back Is smart Although the high collar is reckoned as a^flrst fashion, the beet houses Bent over the neck which la opened in a V in front, outlined by a handkerchief collar in a soft material.

Innumerable Pretty Designs for House Decorations May Bo Easily and Quickly Made. The woman who Is skilled in needlework or handicraft of any sort will need no preliminary training for making small pieces of leather work suitable for howse decoration. First of all take a stationery folder, far instance. It may be made any desired site, though each end should be made to fold inwardly to touch the center line to make the top cover. A good grade of soft black morocco leather, with black satm lining; would be a good combination, and the edges could be stitched with black ailk thread or else bound with leather glued in place: Corner pieces should also be cut and glued into place. These can be fancifully cat with an eyelet punch, and with the aeaatanee of a pair of manicure scissors many artistic designs can be produced. For the holder use a piece of leather of any desired color, say fifteen by thirty inches square. Fold the ends toward the center and crease along the folded edges, after which fit the pasteboard to what will be the bottom of the folder. Make the lining, bat before attaching it stitch two satin pockets on each end* which win be folded under with the overlapped corners. Bind the edges in any preferred Btyle. If a monogram is desired cut the Initials with a small eyelet punch and place satin back of it. This should be shown on one of the overlapped pieces. WHAT FASHION HAS CHANGED Silhouette of Skirt Most Noticeable- Modification of Clinging Draperies is Most Apparent The most radical change Is in the silhouette of the skirt From the narrow clinging skirt of last year to the wide flaring, circular model of today Is a long step, both figuratively and literally. The change, nevertheless, is not so difficult as it may appear at first sight. For example, the long tunic skirt can be charmingly disguised and renovated by the addition of a wide band of embroidery or of goods of some contrasting color at the hem. This hand will give tunics the necessary length and flare"of thjrnew skirts. The draped skirt often has in it material enough to be entirely recut, or it may be lengthened from the waist by the addition of a new, wide girdle or yoke attached to the fullest part. For the most scant and clinging of last year's skirts only one renovation Is possible, but it is a charming one. Using the skirt as a foundation, bjiild on this a series of ruffles or flounces, or veil it with a frill, flaring overskirt.

Everything Moving The Pennsylvania railroad has decided not to seek the renewal of licenses for the sale of liquor now held in Broad Street station, Philadelphia and at the New York terminal of the railroad. Up until May of last year, three restaurants of the railroad sold booze. On May 1, 1914, the Hquor branch of the restaurant in Pittsburg was abolished, now the others must go. Since the city of Fort Smith, Ark., became dry in August last, the criminal business has hQ§n declining until the policemen are scouring the suburbs in order to find enough to do to hold their jobs. The city jail is empty, and the night jailor has been discharged. Half of the police force has been discharged since the city went dry, and other expensed have been reduced. On January 1, 1916, all advertisements of liquor will be eliminated from the billboards of the United States and Canada. The board of directors of the Poster Advertising Association, which controls the boards io 4,000 towns has so decided. No liquor contracts will be accepted after May 1, 1915, and all contracts now in existence must terminate By Dec. 13,1915. , xM. E.

Hardy bulbs should be planted as early in the fall as possible. Dealers will not begin sending out bulbs much before the latter part of September. Early orders get the best bulbs. - The best soil for bulba for the house fs a rich loam mixed with sand. If too heavy, add turfy matter to lighten it. Always choose a well-drained locality for your bulb-seed; if not naturally so, put at least six inches of broken cro-ckery. pieces of brick, old shoes, old bones, anc1 the like in the bottom of the bed. Never take bulbs out of the package the florist sends them in until you arc ready to plant them. The scries of lily bulbs often become soft and flabby when exposed to the air, because cf the evaporation of the sap, which is the life blood ot the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened, and hardly worth planting Put all bulbs in the cellar or in a dark, cool place until ready to plant. Many plants will grow well in an ordinary window in winter, but the number that will soften freely under such conditions are few and need special preparation. Many failures are due to an unwise selection of kinds, as well as to th.e extremes of heat to which the ordinary room is subjected. September is a good tlmf- to root cuttings taken from soft wo<?d plants, but the "bloomers" for the house should have been slipped and rooted \ last May or June. Cuttings taken as., late as September of the new half-1 ripened wood of many annuals and; perennials will make nice house plants j and some of these should bear flowers ' if well cared for. Hardy bulbs may be planted among shrubbery, and these will give bloom at a time when the branches of the shrubbery are bare of foliage, lighting up the grounds wonderfully. The shrubbery will in turn serve to protect the bulb flowers and foliage from disastrous effects of early, cold rain storms and rough spring winds. Calls for Considerable Skill In Arrangement— Open Psyche Knot Is General—Tresses Must Be Neat in the Back. A fashion that has been shelved ts i the parting of the hair in front or at ; the side, although there Is a definite j line of carrying the hair from left to ! right, or right to left That is/the dif- • ference between the coiffure of 18^0 and today. Sleek as the hair is, it • goes across the head sideways, especially in the back, where it is drawn up into a French twist that has all been pinned flat and straightened out, I so that there will be no bulge In the smooth line of the head. There is no fashion against the out- Ining of this flat French twist by a long ornamental comb, but that is only possible in the evening, and many fashionable women prefer to do without it There is great skill In the way the hair is brushed across the head and twisted into flatness and it is this style cf coiffure which ts the most difficult for a woman to arrange herself. It is better done when the hair is slightly marcelled, to give it body. This is not possible *if a woman has heavy long hair, which so many Americans possess, if she waves it, she also thickens it and is compelled to work out something original with the long ends. As she must dispose of these leftovers in some fashion, the-law1 allows her to roll them into an open Psyche knot on top of the head. In or ribbon hanger.

DORNER. In the potting of house plants you mix the proper soil yourself if you know the -needs of the different plants. Take some old blue grass sod and pile it up until it rots, and you will have the ideal form of decayed vegetable matter for the principal constituent of all kinds of soil for potted plants. There are three kinds of potting soil, as follows: For geraniums and the ordinary varieties of blooming plants.—Three parts loan from the rotted sod, one part well rotted manure and one part sand if the soil is heavy. For ferns, begonias and such foliage plants.—Two parts loam, one part leaf mold or peat, and one-half part sand if soil Is heavy. For palms or roses.—Two parts Clay loam and one part well rotted manure, and sand to suit the texture condition. . Use the finger test to learn if the plants need water; when the soH crumbles easily until dry it needs water; when ft cakes-readily there Is too much water; so do not give the plants a little each day, but only water when needed. Never ase a noule on the end .of a hose in watering as it causes the stream to pack the soil and injmrs the follanv Tunic Is of Plack Tulle Over Satin; Wide Girdle of Jet and Turquoise. the evening she can catch this knot down with two small ornamental i pins, preferably of jet, and in the day- ! time the small turban will fit neatly ; over the knot. | The one law that must not be ; broken in the coiffure of the day is I the straight, clean line upward from the nape of the neck to the lower edge of the crown. Short hairs are apt to, make this line broken and uneven, and as the barrette is not fashionable, the twisting sideways of i the hair must begin first there, and the loose hairs are held into place by invisible pins, or two small pins of j shell in the color of the hair. j A woman will find that by lapping one side of the hair well over on the Useful Little Novelty. writing table, and it will in a great measure help to keep the table tidy. It is^quite easy to make. A piece of stiff cardboard, measuring 7 Inches in length and 3¼ inches In width, will be> required. This card is covered on both sides with pale gray silk, the material being stretched tightly across and sewn together at the edges, which are afterwards finished off with a fine silk cord. To the lower edge three dress hooks are sewn on and they are covered with narrow ribbon twisted round and round them. For suspending this little article from a nail In the wall, a loop of ribbon with a smart rosette bow at the top is sewn on at the back. In front there are two small loops of ribbon with bows above them, into which paper- knife, pens, pencils, etc., may be slipped and held in position in the manner shown. The hooks underneath will be found very useful In many ways, and possibly the key of the clock, a small pair of scissors and a watch may be hung upon them. y V VISIT Tjjl California's Expositions via Northern Pacific Ry sod Great Northern Pacific S.8.C0.

On the other hand, during this time the market value of Bheep rose to such an extent that the smaller number in 1910 was worth 25 per cent more than the total value of the sheep in 1900. In other words, despite the rise In the value of the farm flock, fewer farmers cared to maintain one. The explanation for this, say specialists in the department of agriculture, is the prevalence of the sheepkilling dog. Exclusive of 12 western states where sheep are maintained on ranges and not on farms, it is estimated that more than 100,000 sheep are killed annually by dogs in the United States. It is impossible, however, to obtain accurate figures, for In only a small proportion of states and counties are complete records available. Moreover, the number of sheep killed by no, means measures the harm done to the Industry in this A Farm Flock Will Do Much In Cleaning Up Watte Can*. way. Persona who have seen a flock of sheep chased by docs until they drop dead of exhaustion are not likely to be encouraged to risk their money la the business of sheep raising.

The underlying principle of the proposed law is a tax sufficiently heavy to discourage the keeping of dogs by those persons who are not willing to take proper care of them. This tax, it is said, should vary in accordance with the number of dogs kept by each individual—one male being taxed only $1.50, each additional male $8.00, and each additional female $5.00. The tax must be paid each year and a license tag obtained when the money is paid. If any dog Is found unattended without this tag he should be killed, and any dog found unattended on a farm where sheep are maintained may be killed whether he has or has not a license tag. Under any circumstances a dog caught killing or chasing sheep should be killed. A reward of $15.00 Is proposed for the identification of dogs known to be sheep killers, and such animals should be killed at once. With the money obtained from the dog tax the county should reimburse sheep owners for their lost stock, and when possible recover this money from the owners of the guilty dogs- It is, however, extremely rare for dogs to be caught in the act of killing sheep, and It is always difficult to identify positively the offenders. For this reason the law existing in several states which permits flock masters to recover damages from the owners of guilty dogs is of comparatively little service. A law based on the principles already outlined would, It is believed, greatly reduce the numbers of stray and vicious dogs, while not injuring to any appreciable extent the Interests of the true dog lover. If losses from dogs could be effectually prevented there seems to be no reason why the number of sheep kept on American farina could not be vastly increased. It hat been estimated that In the 36 farm states this increase could be 150 per cent without displacing other live stock, and some authorities have even placed it as high -as 500 per cent An increase of 150 per cent would mean in money $155,267,000. In Great Britain the value of Bheep on high-priced farm lands is thoroughly realised, and in Great Britain and Ireland there Is one sheep or lamb to every 2.5 acres of the total land area, In the farm states of the United States there is only one sheep or lamb to each 31,8 acres of land In farms. The British farmer raises hit sheep chiefly on forage-crop pastures and this undoubtedly » the best way when intensive farming la poteible.

The latest invention to hang in the family dining room is the gum board. I t is a neat little circular board, plaiu or decorated, fastened to the wall.

This saves carrying the gum to bed and yetting it in one's hair or swallowing it in t i e night.

The printer has an opportunity to make an average of thirty mistakes to each ordinary line of reading matter or better than three taonsand to each column of reading matter.

IS BINDJNG FOR ONE YEAR Sixty-four Thousand Men Affected By Findings of Board Acting Under the Ncwiands Law. Chicago—An arbitration award advancing to some extent the rates of pay of 64,000 locomotive engineers, firemen and hostlers employed on the 140,000 miles ot line of 98 western railroads in the great area of the United States and Canada bounded on the east by the Illinois Central and the Great Lakes, was signed here Friday. A dissenting opinion was filed on behalf of the brotherhood of enginemen, in which the arbitration was branded as a failure and the Newlands law, under which it was arranged, an inadequate device for the settlement of Industrial disputes. The award, effective May 10 and binding for one year only, was frankly declared as merely postponing for a twelve-month the actual settlement of the differences involved. The railroad members of the board issued a formal statement criticising features of the regulations governing the arbitration and remarking that certain concessions, regarded as intrinsically unjust, were made for the sake of preserving peace with the employes. Judge Peter C. Pritchard, of Richmond, Va., chairman of the board stated that while in his opinion the men in certain branches of the service •were entitled to greater advances than were made, he had to make concessions in order that an award might be made, and he found much of a hopeful nature in the award. Charles Nagel, of St. Louis, former secretary of commerce and labor, who, with Judge Pritchard, represented the board of mediation and conciliation on the arbitration board, was the only member who issued no statement. He U known to have been deeply offended by the recent attack made on him as an arbitrator by officers of the brotherhoods, who pointed out that he was a trustee of the estate of the late Adolphus Busch, and that railroad securities form a part of the assets of the estate. The brotherhoods were represented on the board by F, A. Burgess, of Louisville, Ky., assistant grand 'Chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Timothy Shea, of Peoria, 111., vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen tad Enginemen, The railroad members were W. L. Park, of Chicago, vice president of the Illinois Central and H. E. Bryan, of Chicago, vice president of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.

WORMS ATTACK FRUIT TREES Great Damage Is Feared by Growers In Western Michigan. Benton Harbor. — Climbing cutworms by the millions have attacked the orchards of the Michigan fruit belt in this section and threaten to do thousands of dollars' damage. The peril is so great that fruit growers have appealed to the M. A. C. for advice and help.

War is a confession of weakness, at best a necessary evil. It is not yet a thing of the past because brute instincts that should be regulated and directed are allowed to run riot War is a destroyer; peace is a builder. There has never been a war in which selfishness was not the direct or Indirect cause. If therefore follows that armament does not prevent war; standing armies and great navies do not prevent war. Preparation suggests war. Teach men the arts of peace, train men in the arts of peace, and war will disappear from the face of the earth. Temper, unregulated, is the vice of vices. It takes more courage to meet the requirements of peace than war. Few men are great enough to be always kind, always just, always patient Most men find it easy to be ugly, hateful and devilish. This year of all years in the history of the world commands us to be men, to be great in the arts of peace, to know the sacredneas of life. War means the destruction of fatherhood and motherhood; the destruction of home; the perpetuation of poverty; hell on earth. We now spend $290,000,000 a year on "preparedness for war." Isn't this the time to spend one per cent of this amount on the preparedness for peace? Therefore, I, Woodbridge N. Ferris ask that the people of Michigan set apart Tuesday, May eighteenth, as Peace day. Let the Grand Army of the Republic the Spanish-American War Veterans, the Woman's Relief Corps, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Sunday Schools, the Churches, the Fraternal organizations and the people generally, hold such exercises as win stir the emotions of love and good will towards all men. Given under my hand and the Great Seal of the State, this thirtieth day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, and of the Commonwealth the seventyninth. WOODBRIDGE N FERRIS, London—Three merchant ships— one American, one French and one British—were destroyed Saturday, with some loss of life, by German submarines operating off the Scilly Islands and the Irish coast according to reports received here Sunday. The ships were the American oil tank steamer Gulflight from Port Arthur, Tex., for Rouen, France; the French steamer Europe, from Burry for St. Nacaire, with a cargo of coaL and the British steamer Fulgent, destination and cargo unknown. The Gulflight which left Port Arthur April 10, was torpedoed at noon Saturday og the Scilly islands, according to a dispatch received by the Central News agency. Her captain died of heart failure as result of shock and were drowned. The other members of the crew were taken off b ya patrol boat and landed. The vessel was towed into Crow Sound and beached. The Gulflight, a steel vessel of 3,- 202 tons, was built at Camden, N. J., in 1914, and was owned by the Gulf Refining company. She was 383 feet long, 51 feet beam and 30 feet deep. The Europe, according to a diBpatch from Penzance, Cornwall was attacked Saturday morning near Bishop's rock, off the Scilly islands. The submarine first signalled the crew of the Europe to leave their ship. When they had done this, the submarine shelled the steamer, which failed to sink. Uve Stock.

Walter Harris, formerly lived near Julietta in Warren township, Indiana. He now lives at Hussar, Alberta. In writing to his home paper in Indiana, he says that the, failure is the man who always blames the country. He fails to see his own mistakes, has missed his calling and is not fitted for fanning. The two seasons just past have been entirely different In 1913 plenty of rain came In June and a good crop followed, but the fall was dry and but little* snow in the winter followed by a very dry summer, and a short crop. Only those that had farmed their land properly were able to meet expenses. For example, last year the Crowfoot Farming Company, south of here, threshed from 1,250 acres 38,- 000 bushels of wheat One-half section made 26 bushels, the poorest of all This year on 1,350 acres they threshed nearly 26,000 ^bushels. Last year's crop sold at 75 cents from their own elevator. What they have sold of this year's crop brought $1.00 at^ threshing time. Bight thousand bush** els unsold would bring now around $1.25. The manager and part owner wan raised in Ohio and fanned in Washington several years. He and his wife spent last winter in Ohio. She told me a few days ago that the climate heTe was much better than Ohio. A man by the name of George Clark threshed 75 bushels of oats, 45 bush* els of barley and 35 bushels of wheat to the acre. He had 16,006 bushels of old oats as well as wheat and barley in his granaries that have almost doubled in price. He came from Washington, where he sold a large body of land around $200 that he bought around $3.00 per acre. He then refers to a failure. A large company in the eastern states, owning a large farm near Hussar pays its manager $3,000 a year. The farm has not been a success. Probably the manager's fault Mr. Harris says conditions are not as good as could be wished for, but on the ending of the war good crops, with war prices, will certainly change conditions, and it seems to me that the one who owns land that will raise 100 bushels of oats, 76 bushels of barley or 40 bushels of wheat is the one who "laughs last" The above yields may seem exaggerations to many, and are far above the average, but you should remember that the man who fails is counted In to make the average, and there are instances on record here that would far exceed the above figures. Nor is grain the only profitable thing that can be raised here. There are many fine horse ranches, some of them stocked with cayuses and bred to thoroughbreds, and others imported from the old countries. They ran on the range nearly all the year. The owners put up wild hay to feed them if the snow should get too deep for them to get the dead grass. There are several Hundred in sight of here most of the time. There are several cattle ranches north of here that have from 500 to 7,000 head of cattle. One man I know sold $45,000 worth of fat cattle this fall. He winters his cattle on farms where they have lots of straw and water, paying 75 cents a month per head, or if there is enough straw t o winter 400 or 600 head they buy the straw and water and have a man to look after the cattle.—Adver- In Derktoom.

CHAPTER XVIM—Continued. &S& It had an overwhelming effect upon me. I had been very near death, Sulfide must have ended the struggle in which I was engaged, had not this knowledge of actual and unpunished crime come to eaae my conscience. John Scoville waa worthy of death, and, being so, should receive the full reward of his deed. I need hesitate no longer. That night I slept But there came a night when I did not After the penalty had been paid and to most men's eyee that episode was over, I turned the first page of that volume of slow retribution which is the doom of the* man who sins from impulse, and has the recoil of his own nature to face relentlessly to the end of his days. Scoville was in his grave. I was alive. Scoville had shot a man for his money. I had struck a man down in my wrath. Scoville's widow and little child must face a cold and unsympathetic world, with small means and disgrace rising. like a wall, between them and social sympathy, if not between them and the actual means of living. Oliver's future faced him untouched. No shadow lay across his path to hinder his happiness or to mar his chances. The results were unequal I began to see them so^ and feel the gnawing of that deathless worm whose ravages lay waste the breast, while hand and brain fulfill their routine of work, as though ail were well and the foundations of life unshaken. I suffered as only cowards suffer. I held on to honor; I held on to home; I held on to Oliver, but with misery for my companion and a self-contempt which nothing could abate. Each time I mounted the bench I felt a tug at my arm as of a visible, restraining presence. Each time I returned to my home and met the clear eye of Oliver beaming upon me with its ever-growing promise of future comradeship, I experienced a rebellion against my own happiness which opened my eyes to my own nature and its inevitable demand. I must give up Oliver, or yield my honors, make a full confession and accept whatever consequences it might bring* I am a proud man, and the latter alternative was beyond me. I could forego pleasure, travel, social intercourse, and even the companionship of the one being in whom all my hopes centered, but I could not, of ray own volition, pass from the judge's bench to the felon's cell. There I struck the Immovable— the Impassable. I decided in one awful night of renunciation that I would send Oliver out of my life. The next day I told him abruptly . , . hurting him to spare myself . . . that I had decided after long and mature thought to yield to his desire for Journalism, and that I would start him In his career and maintain htm in it for three years if he would subscribe to the following conditions: They were the hardest a loving father ever Imposed upon a dutiful and loving son. First, he was to leave home Immediately . . . within a few hours, In tact Second, he was to regard all relations between us as finished; we were to be strangers henceforth in every particular save that of the money obligation already mentioned. Third, he was never to acknowledge this compact, or to cast any slur upon the father whose reasons for this apparently unnatural conduct were oulte disconnected with any fault of his or any desire to punish or reprove. Fourth, be was to pray for his father every night of bis Ufa before ha slept Was this last a confession? Bad I meant it-to he such? If so* it missed Its point It awed b«t did not frighten him* I had to contend with his compunctions, ae weH-as with grief and dismay. It was am boor of .struggle on his part and of implacable resolution on mine. Nothing ba* inch hardness on my part would have served me. Had I faltered oaes he woold have won me over, and the tale of my sleepless sights been repeated. 1 did not falter/and when the midnight stroke rang through the boos* Out nig%t i t separated by Its nasi A sJnheoJoaded bat haman s s s t front A W ^ B f V '•BaWBtSBBBSSSBSBav ^ B S s a W V SBS1^BPSBBJS> SJS) with solftssjs and Bereft of Che aurssshao' separation between us were that of the grave I had merited and so weakly shunned. But I was not yet satisfied. How could I Insure for myself the extreme punishment which my peace demand* ed, without bringing down upon me the full consequences I refused to accept You have seen how I ultimately answered this question. A convict's bed? a convict's isolation! But after some weeks of this, fresh fears arose. An accident was possible. For all Bela's precautions, someone might gain access to this room. This would mean the discovery of my secret. And this fence was built This should have been enough. But guilt has terrors unknown to innocence. One day I caught a small boy peering through an infinitesimal crack in the fence, and, remembering the window grilled with iron with which Bela had replaced the cheerful casement in my den of punishment, I realized how easily an opening might be made between the boards for the convenience of a curious eye anxious to penetrate the mystery of my seclusion. And so it came about that the inner fence was put up. This settled my position in the town. No more visits. All social life was over. It was meet I was satisfied at last. I could now give my whole mind to my one remaining duty. I lived only while on the bench. March 5, 1898. There is a dream which comes to me often—a vision which I often see. It is that of two broken and irregular walls standing apart against a background of roseate sky. Between these walls the figures of a woman and child, turning about to go. The bridge J never see, no* the face of the man who died for my sin; but this I see always—the gaunt ruins of Spencer's Folly and the figure of a woman leading away a little child. That woman lives. I know now who she is. Her testimony was uttered before me in court and was not one to rouse my apprehensions. My crime was unwitnessed, by her, and for years she has been a stranger to this town. But I have a superstitious horror of seeing her again, while believing that the day will come when I shall do so. When this occurs—when I look up and find her in my path, I shall know that my sin has found me out and that the end is near. 1909 0 shade of Algernon Etheridge, unforgetting and unforgiving! The woman has appeared! She stood in this room today. Verily, years are nothing with God. Added later. 1 thought ! knew what awaited me if my hour ever came. But who can understand the ways of Providence or where the finger of retributive Justice will point It is Oliver's name and not mine which has become the sport of calumny. Oliver's! Could the irony of life go further I Oliver's! There is nothing against him* and such folly must soon die out; bnt to see doubt in Mrs. Scoville's eyes is horrible in itself and to eliminate It I may have to show her Oliver's account of that long-forgotten night of crime in Spencer's Folly. It is naively written and reveals a clean, if reticent, nature; but that its effect may be unquestionable I will insert a few lines to cover any possible misinterpretation of his manner and conduct There is an open space, and our handwritings were always strangely alike. Only our e's differed, and I will be careful with the e's. Her confidence most be restored st an hazards. My last foolish attempt has undone me. Nothing remains sow bnt that sacrifice of self which'should have been made twelve years ago. CHAPTER XIX. T do not wish to seem selfish, Oliver, but tit a little nearer the window, where I can see yon whenever I open my eyes. Twelve years It along time to make up, and I have snob a little while to which to do i t - Oliver moved. The moisture sprang to his eyes ss he dldso, He had ©aught a gttmpee of the face on the pillow and the changes made in a week were Always erect his facomparable figure. And net that alone. His expression was different Had Oliver not seen him in his old likeness for that one terrible half-hour, he would not know these features, so sunken, yet so eloquent with the peace of one for whom all struggle is over, and the haven of his long rest "near". Had he been able at this moment to look beyond the fences which his fear had reared, he would have seen at either gate a silent figure guarding the walk, and recalled, perhaps, the horror of other days when at the contemplation of such a prospect, his spirit recoiled upon itself in unimaginable horror and revolt And yet who knows! Life's passions fade when the heart is at peace. And Archibald Os trander's heart was at peace. Why, his next words will show. "Oliver"—his voice was low but very distinct, "never have a secret; never hide within your bosom a thought you fear the world to know. If you've done wrong—if you have disobeyed the law either of God or man— seek not to hide what can never be hidden so long as God reigns or men make laws. I have suffered, as few men have suffered and kept their rea soft Intact Now that my wickedness Is known, the whole page of my life defaced, content has come again. 1 am no longer a deceiver, my very worst is known." "Oliver?"—This some minutes later. '.'Are we alone?" - "Quite alone, father. Mrs. Scoville Is busy and Reuther—Reuther is in the room above. I can hear her light step overhead." The judge was silent. He was gazing wistfully at the wall where hung the portrait of his young wife. He was no longer in his room, but in the cheery front parlor. This Deborah had insisted upon. There was, therefore, nothing to distract him from the contemplation I have mentioned. "There are things I want to say to you. Not many; you already know my story. But I do not know yours, and I cannot die till 1 do. What took you into the ravine that evening, Oliver, and why, having picked up the stick, did you fling it from you and fly back to the highway? For the reason I ascribed 'to Scoville? Tell me, that no cloud may remain between us. Let me know your heart as well as you now know mine." The reply brought the blood back into his fading cheek. "Father, I have already explained all this to Mr. Andrews, and now I will explain it to you. I never liked Mr. Etheridge as well as you did, and I brooded incessantly in those days over the influence which he seemed to exert over you in regard to my future career. But I never dreamed of doing him a harm, and never supposed that I could so much as attempt any argument with him on my own behalf till that very night of infernal complications and coincidences. The cause of this change was as follows: I had gone up-stairs, you remember, leaving you alone with him as I knew you desired. How I came to be in the room above I don't remember, but I was there and leaning out of the window directly over the porch when you and Mr. Etheridge came out and stood in some final debate on the steps below. He was talking and you were listening, and never shall I forget'the effect his words and tones had upon me. I had supposed him devoted to you. and here he was addressing you tartly and in an ungracious manner which bespoke a man very different from the one I had been taught to look upon as superior. The awe of years yielded before this display, and finding him Just human like the rest of us, the courage which I had always lacked in approaching him took Instant possession of me, and I determined with a boy's unreasoning impulse to subject him to a personal appeal not to add his influence to the distaste you at present felt for the career upon which 1 had set my heart Nothing could have been more foolish and nothing more natural, perhaps, than the act which followed. I ran down into the ravine with the wild intention, so strangely duplicated in yourself a few minutes later, of meeting and pleading my cause with him at the bridge, but unlike you, I took the middle of the ravine for my road and not the secluded path at the side. It was this which determined our fate, father, for here 1 saw the stick and, catching it up without further thought than of the facility H offered for whittling, started with it down the ravine. Scoville was not in sight The moment was the one when he had quit looking for Reuther and wandered away up the ravine. I have thought since that perhaps the glimpse he had got of bis little one peering from the scene of Ms crime may have stirred even his guilty conscience and sent hks iff on his purposeless ramble; but .. <vever this was, t did not see him or anybody else ss 1 took my way leisurely down towards the bridge, whittling at the stick and thinking of what I should' ear to Mr. Etheridge when 1 met him. And now for fate's final and most fatal touch! rfethlng which same tato my stand struck sse cjutte favorably. The which eeessed such a vary 1 first contemplated it began to assume quits a different aspect as the moment for It approached. By the time I had come abreast of the hollow, I was tired of -the whole business, and hearing bis whistle and knowing by it that he was very near, 1.^¾¾¾^ up Uie slope to avoid him, a£3 nurried* straight "away Into town. That la my story, father. If I heard your steps approaching as I plunged across the path into which 1 had thrown the stick in my anger at having broken the point of my knifeblade upon it, I thought nothing of them then. Afterwards I believed them to be Scoville's, which may account to you for my silence about this whole matter both before and during the trial. I was afraid of the witness stand and of what might be elicited from me if I once got into the hands of the lawyers. My abominable reticence in regard to his former crime would be brought up against me, and I was too young, too shy and uninformed to face such an'ordeal of my own volition. Unhappily, I was not forced Into it, and— But we will not talk of that, father." "Son,"—a long silence had intervened—" there is one thing more. When —how—did you first learn my real reason for sending you from home? I saw that my position was understood by you when our eyes' first met in this room. But twelve years had passed since you left this house in ignorance of all but my unnatural attitude towards you. When, Oliver, when?" "That I cannot answer, father; it was just a conviction which dawned gradually upon me. Now, it seems as if I had known it always; but that isn't so. A boy doesn't reason; and it took"* reasoning for me to—to accept—" "Yes, I understand. And that was your secret! Oh, Oliver, I shall never ask for your forgiveness. I am not worthy of it. I only ask that you will not let pride or any other evil passion stand In the way of the happiness I see in the future for you. I "This Is My 8tory, Father." cannot take from you the shame of mj crime and long deception, but spare me this final sorrow! There is nothing to part you from Reuther now Alike unhappy In ydur parentage, you can start on equal terms, and love will do the rest. 8ay that you will marry her, Oliver, and let me see her smile before I die." "Marry her? Oh, father, will such an angel marry me?" "No, hut such a woman might." Oliver came near, and stooped over his father's bed. "Father, if love and attention to my profession can make a success of the life you prize, they shall have their opportunity." The father smiled. If It fell to others to remember him as he appeared in his mysterious prime, to Oliver it was given to recall him as he looked then with the light on his face and the last tear he was ever to shed glittering in his fading eye. "God is good," came from the bed; then the solemnity of death settled over the room. The soft footfalls overhead ceased The long hash had brought the two women to the door where they stood sobbing. Oliver was on his knees beside the bed, his head burled In his arms.
