Pincknev, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, May 12, 191 No. 20 Just What the Town Knocker Ought To Do My friend, you are continually harping on t h e idea that thia town ibii't a tit place to !iv« in. You are everlastingly knocking oo t h e people, iheir cubtomH and habitb. Yon tiny they havn never been anywhere and will never learn anything. T h e idea you try to throw out is that you are atrietly up-todate, arid are entirely too wise to waste your precious time among this clasa of barbarians. It is all right for you to think that way but it is all wrong for vou to shoot off your mouth about it. If you don't like it here, hike out to the greener pastures. T h e people got along all right before you came. And they will manage to wiggle along after you are gone. We will take it for granted that you are world-traveled but most of us think you were never out of the county. We *ill also let it pass that you have been a power elsewhere, but moBt of us would bet that you have never held better than n forty-dollar a-month job in your whole life. We will get along all right, j u s t move along if things don't satisfy yon here. Gregory F. J .

Dinkel & Dunbar American Restaurant*. What disconcerts the Euroj>ean in the great American r e s t a u r a n t Is the excessive, the occasional maddening slowness of the service a .id the lack of in terest in tin- service. Touching the latter defect, the waiter is not impolite: be is not neglectful. But he is too ofteu passively hostile, or at best neutral. lie, or hh> chief, has apparently not grasped the fact that buying £~rn«t1 is not like buying a ton of coal. If the purchaser is to get value for his m o u ^ he must enjoy his meal, and if he is tu en joy his meal it must not merely be ettl ciently served, but it must be efficiently served hi a sympathetic atmosphere. T h e supreme business of a good waiter is to create this atmosphere. True, that even in the country which has carried cookery ami r e s t a u r a n t s to loftier heights than any other—I mean, of course, Belgium, the little country of little restaurauts—the subtle ether which the truly civilized diner demands Is rare enough. But in the great res t a u r a n t a of the great cities of America it Is, I fancy, rarer than a n y w h e r e else. —Arnold Bennett in Harper's Magazine.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, May 19, ] 9 ] S No. 21 CLARENCE CARR BADLY BURNED H y art Explosion of Powder Last Friday Nfftht Last Friday evening about 7:30 o'clock the people of, Pinckney were startled by the sound of a terrific explosion which fairly shook the stores along the Main street of the village. A personal investigation disclosed the fact that a great tragedy had been the result. Clarence Carr, eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Carr, who had bat recently moved into the rooms over the Meyer's drag store, was preparing to retire for the night, when he struck a match flinging it on a near-by windoweill, after he supposed it to be entirely out. The match, still burning, ignited about five pounds or more of powder lying on the window, thus causing the explosion. The child was cruelly burned about his entire body. His piercing screamB reached the ears of his mother who was still working in the kitchen, located below stairs back of the drug store. When she reached her boy's side, he was enveloped in flames. By that time a large crowd had gathered. The boy was carried downitairs where t h e flames were smothered. As the rooms were still filled with smoke, the sufferer was carried across the road to the hotel and from thence back again to the drag store where Air. Meyer, the druggist, worked over him until the arrival of the Doctors' Sigler. As we go to press this Wednesday afternoon tbe young sufferer is doing as well as can be expected and there is bright hopes of his recovery. A number of windows both upstairs and in the rooms below were blown out, but aside from the broken glass and the blackened walls near the point of the explosion no further damage was done to the building. Perhaps the strangest part of the awful tragedy is, that no one has any distinct recollection as to how the powder happened to be in the building. While Mr. and Mrs. Carr both knew of the package, they did not know what it containetl. As they were busy settling in preparation to running.a restaurant, they had placed it one side, intending to destroy it later, not dreaming that it contained anything dangerous. A PRETTY WEDDING Paul Hcndcc Mffler and Miss F e m e United In Marriage Tills Afternoon This Wednesday afternoon, May 19th, at 2:30 o'clock, at the home of t h e brides parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C.

Gordon Gregg, locum teftens for the British a nsul, Is called upon by Hornby, the LoU's owner, and dine* uboard with him «tod hla friend. Hylton Chater. Aboard tM yacht he accidentally sees a room full of arms and Ammunition and a torn photograph of a young girl. That night the consul's safe is robbed and the Lola puts suddenly to sea. The police find that Hornby is a fraud and the Lola's name a fylae one. CHAPTER 1—Continued. "Unfortunately the telegraphic reg i e s from England are only to hand this morning," he went on, "because just before two o'clock this morning the harbor police, whom I specially ordered to watch the vessel, saw a boat come to the wharf containing a man and woman. The pair were put ashore, and walked away into the town, the woman seeming to walk with considerable difficulty. The boat returned, and an hour after, to the complete surprise of the two detectives, steam was suddenly got up and the yacht turned and went straight out to "Bea." "Leaving the man and the woman?" "Leaving them, of course. They are probably still in the town. The police are now searching for traces of them." "But could not you have detained the vessel?" I suggested. "Of course, had I but known, I could have forbidden her departure. But as her owner had presented himself at the consulate, and was recognized as a respectable person, I felt that I could not interfere without some tangible information— and that, alas! has come too late. The vessel is a swift one, and has already seven hours start of us. I've asked the admiral to send oat a couple of torpedo-boats after her, but, unfortunately, this is impossible, as the flotilla is sailing in an hour to attend the naval review at Spezla." I told him how the consul's safe had been opened during the night, and he sat listening with wide-open eyes. "You dined with them last night," be said at last. "They may have surreptitiously stolen your keys." 'They may," was my answer. "Probably they did. But with what mo tlve?" The captain of the port elevated his shoulders, exhibited his palms, and declared: "The whole affair from beginning to end is a complete and profound mystery." CHAPTER II. Why the Safe Was Opened. That day was an active one in the QUestara, or police office, of Leghorn. Detectives called, examined the safe, and sagely declared it to be burglarproof, - had not the thieves possessed j the key. Probably while I sat at dinner on board the Lola my keys had been Stolen And passed on to the scarred Scotsman, who had promptly gone ashore and ransacked the place while I had remained with his master smoking and unsuspicious, but as far as Francesco and I.could ascertain nothing whatever had been taken. The detective on duty at the railway station distinctly recollected a thin, middleaged man, accompanied by a lady in deep black, passing the barrier and entering the train which left at three o'clock for Colle Salvettl to Join the Rome express. They were foreigners, therefore he did not take the same notice of them as though they had been Italians. ' The description of the Lola, its owner, bis guest, and the captain were circulated by the police to all the Mediterranean ports, with a request that the yacht should be detained. Tet if the vessel were really one of mystery, as it seemed to be, its owner would no doubt go across to some quiet anchorage oa the Algerian coast out of the track of the vessels, and calmly proceed to repaint, rename and disguise his craft so that it would not be recognised in Marseilles, Naples, Smyrna, or any of the ports where private yachts habitually call for serposos of their own the police kept tin* affair oat of the papers, and ,afcssj ^Fjaaajr Hutcheson stepped out; of the sleciplak ear from Paris on to the slattern at Pisa a few nights aft- 1 related to him the oxstory. wanted these, that's evident" be responded, holding op the her hand-bag he end which eoatatnod his ciphers. "By Jove!" disappointed they bavebcen?" , £ * * a » % * f O I the midnight train for Leghorn. "But my own theory la that! they were searching for some paper or other that you possess." "What can my papers concern them?" exclaimed the jovial, roundfaced consul. "I don't keep bank notes in that Bale, you know. We. fellows in the service don't roll in gold as our public at home appears to think." "No. But you may have something in there which might be of value to them. You're often the keeper of valuable documents belonging t o Englishmen abroad, you know." "Certainly. But there's nothing in there just now. No, my dear Gordon, depend upon it that the yacht running ashore was all a blind. They did it so as to be able to get the run of the consulate, secure the ciphers, and sail merrily away with them." "But the man end the woman who left the yacht an hour before she sailed, and who slipped away into the country somewhere! I wonder who they were? Hornby distinctly told me that he and Chater were alone, and yet there was evidently a lady and a gentleman on board. I guessed there was a woman there, from the way the boudoir and ladies' saloon were arranged, and certainly no man's hand decorated a dinner table as that was decorated." "Yes. That's decidedly funny," remarked the consul thoughtfully. "They showed a lot of ingenuity." , "Ingenuity! I should think so! The whole affair was most cleverly planned." "You said something about an armory," "Yes, there were Maxims stowed away in one of the cabins, They aroused my suspicions." "They would not have aroused mine," replied my friend. "Yachts carry arms for protection in many cases, especially if they are going to cruise along uncivilized coasts where they must land for water or provisions." I told him of the torn photograph, which caused him some deep rejection. "I wonder why the picture had been torn up. Had there been a row on board—a quarrel or something?" "It had been destroyed surreptitiously, I think." "Pity you didn't pocket the fragments. We could perhaps have discovered from the photographer the identity of the original." "Ah!" I sighed regretfully. "I never thought of that. I recollect the name of the firm, however." "I shall have to report to London the whole occurrence, as British subjects are under suspicion," Hutcheson >.< insulate in the piazza. In the night the British Mediterranean, fleet, cruising down from Malta, had, come into the roadstead, and at the' signal from the flagship had maneuvered and dropped anchor, forming a long line of gigantic battleships, swift cruisers, torpedoboat destroyers, torpedo-boats, dispatch- boats, and other craft extending for several miles along the coast Lying still on those calm waters was a force which one day might cause nations to totter, the overwhelming force which upheld Britain's right in that oft-disputed sea. I had taken a boat out to the Bulwark, the great battleship flying the admiral's flag, and was sitting on deck with my old friend Capt. Jack Durnford of the Royal Marines. Each year when the fleet put into Leghorn we were inseparable, for in long years past, at Portsmouth, we had been close friends, and now he was able to pay me annual visits at my Italian home. He was on duty that morning, therefore could not get ashore till after luncheon. "I'll dine with you, of course, tonight, old chap/* he said. "And you must tell me all the news. We're in here for six days, and I was half a mind to run home." "Your time's soon up, isn't it?" I remarked, as I lolled back in the easy deck-chair, and gazed away at ttte white port and Its background of purple Apennines. The dark, good-looking fellow, in his smart summer uniform leaned over the bulwark, and sals, with a slight sigh, I thought: "Yes. This is my last trip to Leghorn, I think. I go back in November, and I really shan't be sorry. Three years is a long time to be away from home. You go next week, you say? Lucky devil to be your own master! I only wish I were. Year after year on this deck grows confoundedly wearisome, I can tell you, my dear fellow." Durnford was a man who had written much on naval affairs, and was accepted, as an expert on several branches^ of the service. The admiralty do not encourage officers to write, but in Durnford's case it was recognised that of naval topics he possessed a knowledge that was of use, and, therefore, he was allowed to write books and to contribute critical articles to the service magazines. He had studied the relative strengths of foreign navies, and by keeping his eyes always open he had, on many occasions, been able to give valuable information to our naval attaches at the embassies. "I go as soon as you've sailed. 1 only stayed because 1 promised to act for Prank," I said. "And, by Jove! a funny thing occurred while I was in charge—a real first-class mystery." "A mystery—tell me," he exclaimed, suddenly interested. "Well, a yacht—a pirate yacht, I believe it was—called here." "A pirate! What do you mean?" "Well, she was English.

Things slump when we get no maTT But go on—I'm listening," he added, as an orderly came up, saluted, and handed him a paper. "Well," I said, "let's cross to the other side. I don't want the sentry to overhear.** "As you like—but why such mystery ?n he asked, as we walked together to the other side of the spick-andspan quarterdeck of the gigantic battleship. "You'll understand when I tell you the story." And then, standing together beneath the awning, I related to my friend the whole of the curious he said in a hard tone, striding across the deck and back again, and I saw in his eyes a strange look, half of anger, half of deep regret. Was he telling the, truth, I wondered? Some tragie romance or other concerning a woman had, I knew, overshadowed his life in the years before we had become acquainted. But the real facts he had never revealed to me. Outwardly he was as merry as the other fellows who officered that huge floating fortress; on board he was a typical smart marine, and on shore he danced and played tennis and flirted just as vigorously as did the others. But a heavy heart beat beneath his uniform. When he returned to where I stood I saw that his face had changed; it had become drawn and haggard. He more the appearance of a man who had been struck a blow that had staggered nim, crushing out all life and hope. "What's the matter, Jack?" I asked. "Come! Tell me—what alls your* "Nothing, my dear old chap," he answered hoarsely. "Really nothing— only a touch of the blues lust for a moment," he added, trying hard to smite. "Itll pass." -What I've Just told you about that yacht has upset you. You cant deny It." He started. His mouth was, I saw, hard set He knew something concerning that mysterious craft, but would not tell me. "Why are you silent?" 1 asked slowly, my eyes fixed upon my friend the officer. "I have told you what I know, and I want to discover the motive of the visit of those men, and the reason they opened Hutcheson's safe." "I admit that I have certain grave suspicion*/' he said at last, standing "You saw no woman on board T he asked suddenly* looking straight luto my eyes. "No. Hornby told me that ha and Chater were alone." "And yet an hour -after you left a man and a woman cams' ashore and disappeared! Ah!

She had a curious fixed look in her eyes, which attracted him, but she wore a thick motor vetL so that he could not clearly discern her features." "And her companion?" "Middle-aged, prematurely gray. with a small, dark mustache." Jack Durford sighed and stroked his chin. "Ah! Just as I thought," he exclaimed. "And they were actually here, in this port, a week agol What a hitter irony of fate!" "I don't understand you," I said* "You are so mysterious, and-yet yo* will tell me nothing!" "The police, fools that they are, have allowed them to escape, and they will never be caught now. Ah! you don't know them as I do! They are the cleverest pair in all Europe. And they have the audacity to call their craft the Lola—the Lola, of all names! Gordon, let me be frank and open with you, my dear old fellow. I would tell you everything—everything—If I dared. But I cannot—you understand!" And his final words seemed to choke him. ' I stood before him, open-mouthed in astonishment. "You really mean—well, that you are in fear of them—ehV I whispered. He nodded slowly in the affirmative* adding: "To tell you the truth would be to bring upon myself a swift, relentless vengeance that would overwhelm and crush me. Ah! my dear fellow, you-do not know—you cannot dream—what brought those desperate ' men into this port. I can guess—I can guess only too well—but 1 can only tell you that if you ever do discover the terrible truth—which I fear Is unlikely— you will solve one of the strangest and most remarkable mysteries of modern times."

The House "Over the Water.: I had idled away a pleasant month up in Boston, and from there had gone north to the Lakes, and it was one hot evening in mid-August that I found myself again in London, crossing St. James' square from the Sports club. I had just turned Into Pall Mall when a voice at my elbow suddenly exclaimed in Italian: "Ah, signore!—why, actually, my padrone!" And looking around I saw a thinfaced man of about thirty* dressed in neat but rather shabby black, whom I instantly recognised as a man who had been my servant in Leghorn for two years, after which he had left to better himself. "Why, Olinto!" I exclaimed, surprised, as I halted. "You—in London— eh? Well, and bow are you getting on?" "Most excellently, signore," he answered in broken English, smiling. "But It is so pleasant for me to see my generous padrone again. What fortune it is that I should pass here at this very moment 1" "Where are you working V I inquired. "At the Restaurant Milona, in Oxford street—only a small place, but we gain discreetly, so I must not complain. I live over in Lambeth, aad am on my way home." When we halted before the National gallery prior to parting I made some Inquiries regarding Annida, the black-eyed, good-looking housemaid whom he had married. . "Ah. signore!" he responded In a votes choked with emotion, dropping fate Italian, "It la the one great sorrow of my Hfe. I work hard from early morning until late at night, but what is the use when I aee my poor wife gradually fading away before my very eyes? The doctor says that she cannot possibly live through the next winter. Ah! how delighted the poor girl would be If she could see the padroae again!" I fett sorry tor him. ArnUda had a good servant, and had served wefl for nearly three years. Old housekeeper, had often regretted that she had been compelled to leave to attend to her aged mother.

A schoolteacher who was about to be married visited an old friend, and naturally the coming event waa the topic of much of the conversation. The young woman, whose plana were not yet made public, thought it wise to pledge the little fouryear-old daughter of the house to secrecy. Accordingly she called little Ethel to her, told her that soon she and John were to he married, and asked her to promise that she would" keep the secret. Little Ethel went back t*» her play. while her mother and the teacher resumed their conversation. Some ten minutea later Ethel returned and whispered with great cau tion, "Miss Brown, does John know anything about it?"—Youth's Companion. Everblooming Roses at Their Best Now. EVERBLOOMING ROSES Everblooming roses should be at their best during the fail months. Tea roses must be fed liberally; old rotted manure, cow-manure is best but bone meal is good. Dig several big spoonfuls of fertilizer about the roots of each rose planted, replacing the mulch. Cut back the blooming branches as soon as the flowers fade; work the soil under them and give a good soaking with manure water early in September and you will have abundant bloom until frost Sharp pruning and good feeding is the sure means of getting fall roses. Keep down1 all insect pests with spray of BUlpho-tcbacco soap used according to directions on the package. A tendency to blight of buds at this season means insects at the roots. Dissolve a peck of fresh lime in a barrel of water and give tile ground a good soaking with the solution, using only clear water on top. When pruning the roses, use all cuttings four or five inches long for rooting. Insert the cutting in well-worked soil, leaying one eye above the surface, firm the earth about them, give a good soaking, and turn over them a glass fruit jar, pressing it into the ground. Draw the soil up around the Jar, but not over It keep the ground moist and leave until spring. Rose cuttings may be rooted in moist sand in any warm place, but the sand must not be allowed to dry out at any time. When the rootlets are half an inch long, transplant to soil, and give good care. They may be set in the border and a glass covering set f over them. Most cuttings consist of three or four points, or eyes, with a healthy leaf at the top. Discard every cutting that does not bold the leaf until the plant begins to grow, as the falling of this leaf means a delicate plant, even If it lives and roots. A. T. 8.

MARKET QUOTATIONS Detroit Stockyards Quarrantlned. Hoof and Mouth Disease. t.;, Wfc' PAPER CURRENCY RESTORED tC'^V, .-'&/.•• Work Has Been Carried On With Great Success and Seventy-Five Per Cent of People Are Being Fed. London-—The American commission for relief in Belgium will have provided food to the approximate value of ^65,0^0,000 for the Belgium people by the middle of August. Charitable contributions from America will have amounted to about $5,000,000 and donations from other quarters of the world will reach approximately the same total. The bulk of the food supplies representing the remaining $55,000,000 is being provided indirectly by the Belgian people themselves. Fully 75 per cent of the Belgian people are being supplied with food by the commission without recourse to charity and bread is now cheaper in Belgium than in -London. When the commission was formed last October under the chairmanship of Herbert Clark Hoover, it was estimated the total imports required to keep the population of Belgium alive would mount in value to about $50,- 000,000 before the next harvest. The rtM la the price of foodstuffs increased the amount to $65,000,000. The greatest problem was that food Mil m Belgium to those who still had resources were paid for In paper. The entire metallic currency disappeared early in the war. Paper money had no value outside of Belgium and was depreciated there. The commission therefore announced it would accept all paper issued in payment for bread. This at once restored paper currency to its full value. The cycle of credit was re-established and many thousands of well-to-do persons were saved from the bread line. Before this machinery was set up, virtually the whole population was dependent on the world's charity. The Initial appeal of the commission theretore wax* made on behalf of the seven ssfsssme of people.

An expert in using gas for cooking, and who is an economist as well, gives these instructions: Put an iron plate over one of the burners, lay a couple of potatoes on, it, cover ft with an inverted deep pan that fitted the plate, and light the gas. The potatoes will be done in at least two-thirds of tbe usual time. Take a little pan of apples, put in with them a little water and sugar and place them to bake in tbe same way. as tbe potatoes. Those apples will come out as even and nice a brown as yon would want to sen. Then cook a dish of spaghetti. Prepare the spaghetti by putting the dish on the hot pfate, cover it with another pan. When the spaghetti is baked, cover the dish and just slip it down underneath the gas flame lor a few minutes.

(Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) I For various reasons it Is sometimes desirable to change the top of a peach tree from one variety to another. A grower may find after his orchard be- #ina to bear that he has a larger numt> er of trees of some variety than he wants; a block of trees may prove to be some other variety than the one ordered; or, for some other reason, a variety is not well adapted to the seeds of the owner. In such oases he has recourse to top-working the tree either by budding or grafting to a desirable variety. The ordinary method of shield budding is the one more commonly used tor this purpose. If the tree to be top-worked Is not more than two or three years old it is usually practicable to insert the buds directly into the main limbs well down toward the point where they leave the trunk. The Illustration shows a Triumph peach tree that was budded to the Carman variety when it was three years old, niter its crop of fruit had been removed. The points where the buds were inserted may be seen by reference to the figure. ; H the tree to be top-budded has reached the age when the bark on the main limbs has become too thick and firm to be manipulated readily for fcuddmg, H is necessary to head it back somewhat, as when the top is to be replaced with new growth of the same variety, and than insert the buds •on the new branches that develop -after the tree has been deheaded. When this course is followed the buds should be inserted in the new growth as sear the trunk as is practicable, In •order to have as large a portion of the top aa possible of the new variety. This Is also desirable on account of the subsequent management of the thinning, interplunted crops, and special practices of interest to orchardlsts and farmers. LIFTING THE STUBBORN POST Device Made by Using Strong Steel Hook, Attached to Chain as 8hown in the Illustration. A strong steel hook, such as is often u*ed for lifting bales of hay, may be converted into a lifter for light potts by attaching to it a chain as shown in the illustration, says Southern Agriculturist Dig around the post and Handy Post Lifter. drive the point of the hook Into the bottom, drawing the chain over a plank set on edge, or a stout stick. This 4a a hantiy way to get a light post out of the ground when it is a little too stubborn to come out by rimpler means. BEST TO COMPROMISE NOTE8 OP THE HOQ LOT. It is a good plan to breed some sows for litters to come not later than September. Let the young pigs learn to eat with their dams and as soon aa possible put them all on pasture.

The or dmary cleft graft is generally used in such cases. However, budding la to be preferred, especially as the wounds made in grafting do not heal readily in the ease of the peach, though when -properly done the union of stock and scion is generally strong enough to make a.fairly serviceable tree. But troubles incident to the difficulties in the healing of the wounds are likely to occur. The United States department of agriculture. Washington, D. C will Cat!

Wisest Course hi to Have Them Made of Moderate Width With a Leaning Toward Fullness—Altering Last Year's Gowns. , la going over the season's wardrobe it is the beat to stake one's chances on the wide skirt staying with us until July or August There are dressmakers who are prophets, and who say that we shall probably wear the full skirt for two or three yeare at least There are others who say it will be oat of fashion by midsummer. The only way to be even partly safe is to compromise on moderate width with a leaning toward fullness. If your last summer skirts had long tunics, the remedy is easy. That truism has been repeated over and again for two months. The added fact that the new skirts, both plaited and C', This keeps the ground and alter tks After they have made aseae growth, to hoe ap a little *€ tks earth tks plaata every few days.

Plaiting is \ti high demand and the knife-plaited tunic, therefore, which was considered as an unfashionable garment, can be made into a skirt 4>y the addition of a deep band. It may be of satin If the skirt is of cloth, or cloth if the skirt is of silk. No one objects to these combinations nowadays. Then there is the question of the long sleeve to be answered. Suppose the gowns of last year, also the coats, had three-quarter sleeves—what then? Fortunately, fashion has brought about the use of double sleeves. The upper part is opaque, the lower part transparent; therefore one can add chuton or musHn, net or lace to a short sleeve and bring it down to the wrist. These lower sleeves are very often full as well as transparent and they are finished at the wrist with a velvet bracelet and a narrow ruffle. All these details are good to remember when yon are up against the task of altering sleeves. There has come about an odd combination of fabrics in the last month which allows a plaited skirt to be attached to a straight, long-waisted, beltleas bkmse of another fabric This Idea is very helpful to the woman who la altering clothes.

Here are two novel ways of disguising the ever-essential powder puff. The £rst can be made of ribbon about four inches wide and eight or nine inches long, the selvage edges folded and sewed together, except tor about two inches at the center, making a strip of double silk nine Inches long and two inches wide. Now gather each end up tightly and attach a silk tassel the same shade or contrasting with the color of the ribbon. Slip two ivory rings over the little bag, and you have an old-fashioned purse just like grandmother used for her pennies, but which you will use to hold In one end a powder puff, very diminutive, but quite adequate, and in the other end a mirror of the same dimensions. This little vanity bag can be carried out in the shades of the favorite evening gown, and makes a dainty and inconspicuous accessory for the carrying of the evening's ammunition. The second puff is for the dressing table, and is In the shape of a bisque ballerina, with voluminous maline skirts, who poises lightly atop of a glass powder jar. The puff is at* tached in some mysterious manner to the little bisque body, and the maline skirts act as a pretty ornament and a practical cover for the powder beneath. They can easily be renewed from time to time as they become soiled or mussed. TUB FROCKS OF EVERY KIND Charming Light Materials Are Offered for Afternoon Wear During the Warm Weather.

Alberta wool growers are looking tor 25 cent wool this year. That is the assertion made by a prominent sheepman of the Grassy Lake district "It is quite within the pale of possibility that we will receive that figure from our wool this summer/' said he, "and I would not bo surprised to aee some get more than that. 'The war has caused a great demand to be made on' the woolen mills, and they have got to have the raw material." The present season has been most propitious for the growing of wool, and the growers expect to reap a big harvest of a splendid quality. The winter has been very even, and the sheep are doing well on the ranges. No special breed of sheep is kept on Western Canada farms, and all seem to do well. The advice of those interested in the welfare of the farmers of Western Canada, advise all who can at all do so to enter upon the raising of sheep. They have proved most profitable to those who go into that industry on a scale commensurate with their means, and their farm area. The climate is perfectly adapted to the raising of sheep, they are easily kept, and as pointed out, there is good money to be made out of them.—Advertisement.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, May 26, ]915 No. 22 ••rn.r Eighth Grade Tuition Statistics compiled in the Department of Public Instruction show that school districts are this year paying the tuition of more than ten thousand eighth grade graduates to high schools. This tuition amounts to $235,747. Thousands of beys and girls in rural schools of the state will this month receive eighth grade diplomas from the Superintendent of Pablic Instruction as the result of having passed the eighth grade examination. Perhaps no recent law has more directly benefited the boys and girls of rural communities than the one which requires districts to pay the tuition of those holding eighth grade diplomas to any high school in the state, providing however that the amount shall not exceed twenty dollars unless the people at the annual meeting vote to pay more. The high school is to be selected by the pupil. Written application for this tuition must be made to the board by the parent or guardian on or before the fourth Monday in June. A child for whom tuition must be paid is one who 1B a resident of the district on the fourth Monday of June and who ia either the holder of a county eighth grade diploma or of a written statement from the superintendent of a graded district that he has passed the eighth grade in that district or that he has passed a grade above the eighth grade. The Superintendent of Public Instruction is very anxious that no boy or girl who is qualified to have his tuition paid shall be deprived of the privilege because of failure to make proper application. Obituary Margaret Kuhn was bom Aug. 20,1834 in Livingston county, N. T., and came with her parents to the township of Iosco in 1837, where she lived until her death, Wednesday, May 12. At the age of 84 she was united in marriage to David Roberts, also of Iosco. To this anion were born four children, Bert and Joseph of Iosco and John and Mrs. Homer Wasson of Unadilla all of whom with the husband and eight grand-children are left to mourn the loss of a kind and loving wife, mother and grand-mother. In her young womanhood, she and her brother Simon lived on the farm 6ow owned by George Harford where they took and cared for a little motherless girl and gave her the love and care of a father and mother until she married Milo M. Abbott in 1871. She too survives to mourn their loss. Mrs. Roberts gave her heart to God in her young girlhood and has always lived a consistent christian life, dying in the triumph of living faith. She was a great sufferer of cancer of the liver, bnt bore her suffering with moon patience, being cared for by the loving hands of hatband and childran.

BETTER POSTAL SAVINGS SERVICE Every person in the United States ten years old or more may open an account in a postal savings bank after Jane 1st, according to an instructive leaflet on the Postal Savings System just issued by Postmaster General Burleson. Postal savings receipts have broken all records the pest year. During the eight months prior to April 1st there was a net gain ia deposits of $19,000,000 against a gain of $8,000,000 for the same months the year before. While the savings at the local postoffioe have not increased during the past year, the new changes that have been made in the system are such that nearly everyone can take advantage of placing their money in Uncle Sam's safe keep* ing should they care to do so. i I I # .

The men who- will ride or march on that day are survivors of a war which <o the younger generations has become almost ancient history. They are all old men, though many of them will not admit it. There is this strange thing about the celebration of the day. The Civil war became, before it ended, an antialavery war, but the men who were prominent in the antislavery movement will not appear in the processions. They are gone. One can almost count upon his fingerB those who remain. But the men who fought the battles that were brought on by their agitations still live, by hundreds of thousands. The explanation ia a simple one. The antialavery agitators were mature men—some of them old men. The Civil war was fought, largely, by young men and youth. More than 800,000 enlisted at seventeen or below that age; more than 2.000,000 were not more than twenty-one. Only ¢18,511 were twenty-two and above, and only 46,026 of these were twentylive or above. And so it happens that among the marchers will be seen many who, nearly fifty years after the cloee of the war, will not appear to be old. So, also. It happens that the pension roils contain the names of more than 400,- 000 veterans of the Civil war, who are •tin living. If one cares to compare these selected men with those who were rejected aa physically unfit or defective, he will be interested In noticing the Grand Army button on the lapels of the coats of gray-headed men, as he puses them in the street The little bronze button, or the smaller red. white and blue button of the Loyal Legion, appear very frequently, and that in spite of the fact that hundreds of thousands of the men selected as fit were killed in battle or died of wounds during the war, and many others hare since died from disease contracted during the contest The youthfulness of those who made up the army of those days suggests a thought not often made prominent In dtacnsstmis of the pension question. While a pension is not designed to recompense pecuniary losses incurred by the pensioner in his service, n Is veil to remember that the boy or young man, from sixteen to eighteen, who left school tor three years in the fsnnative period of his life, was never anas to make up what he lost ia eduand that thoot who were above of whom were just the first steps In promising by giving up their opportuni> la Mfe. The sip, and at'be a place in the at they got into tt at an. of the graves of the falof fba ctvfl strife and of and appreciation of the vast bestowment that the blood of the fallen contributed to the nation and to the world. Freedom unfurled her banner once more, and this time it was over the gory fields of fratricidal warfare; this time it was not to the trumpeting of a declaration of independence, but to the sonorous sound of the proclamation of freedom for the servile classes of the population. The South was freed from its trammels and blossomed out as the section of the country most American and endowed with the greatest wealth of unrealized resources. The country blossomed out in the new power and influence of a union indissoluble, of a house no longer divided against itself. The world paid tribute to the heroes or battlefields aa sacred as any of those which, in Holy Writ, set forth the epochs in the progress of mankind In the theocracies of the past. Freedom had given it a new content and civilization had bestowed upon it a new dignity, and life, and valor were given fresh glory in the tremendous struggle which is commemorated on Decoration day—the day of solemn hush, yet of glorious recollection, the day when the tears of sad recollection are shot through with the rainbows of a perennial rejoicing. The commission of liberty cannot be laid aside, even if the nation that has set up the standard of freedom for mankind could discharge its obligations to the world otherwise. Wherever there are oppressed there is felt the magnet of the Influence of American freedom; and so from the serf-afflicted land of Russia, from the life-burdened lands of Europe, come the slaves of oppression and of har&h discrimination, the subjects of the curse of inequality, that they may join in the song of those redeemed from such conditions or those whose birthright it is to enjoy life, liberty and the. pursuit of happiness. No wonder that the country is virtually at pause as the observation of the sacred day of reverence tor the nation's slain uplifts to the view of mankind the dignity and power of ideals that are woven into the life and character of a free people. No wonder that from the highest to the lowliest the officers of state and the citizens pay tribute to the men who remade the nation. Animosity, resentment schism are aH in the past and a united people rejoice in the outcome of a fiercely dividing struggle. To the world of today, this great tragedy of half a century ago Is hut tradition and not a living memory, but the passing years can never efface that record from the very souis of those who went through that fiery furnace in the great struggle for the nation's Bfe with Its frightful toll of precious young Uvea sauttuad to the Moloch of one of the world's greatest wars. Costly indeed was the price with which a s dawning at Skfloh; 1(,909 wont down, at CiVislmtniiy; 1MM at Anttetaa. and 11,999 more at 17*99 kflloi or crippled at lorsriBe: 1M99 five* w t l i m •eld at Gettyoborg; 1M99 at saanga; 1*499 a* 17*99 se8 ft* the Battle of 304,000 dead—one man for every nine who wore the blue. From the lips of thoughtless youth we sometimes hear the flippant charge that the "old soldiers are still fighting the old battle of the Civil war," little realizing what they mean to the scarred survivors of those epoch-making days. Who that "marched with Sherman to the sea" can ever forget? Who that came back, from the slippery slopes of Gettysburg can ever forget the bloody tragedy which for three long days turned Its peaceful quiet in to .aT seething hell of shot and shell? Who that witnessed the destruction by the Confederate army itself, of its last hope and stronghold, the city of Richmond, in that memorable April of *65, will ever forget the indescribable Bcene of horror, with the roar of an Immense conflagration sounding in their ears, while the explosion of the gunboats shook the doomed city to its very foundation? Thirty city blocks swept out of existence by the spreading flames, 1,000 houses destroyed, while hundreds of hospitals and almshouse inmates were said to have been blown into eternity. Such is war! God forbid that our land shall ever know another, but let us forevermore remain one people, loyal to one flag, and united in one earnest effort to make this nation the grandest ever risen on the tides of time- Memories like these are ineffaceable, and who has a better right to live again—-"fight," if you will—the battles of that fast-receding period, than the proud heroes of that day? But the honored ranks of that once powerful army are rapidly thinning. Day by day in ever increasing numbers slowly winds the funeral cortege through the streets of Washington to that vast, silent encampment on the wooded heights of Arlington, that consecrated spot whose silence is only intensified by the dropping of an acorn or 4fie whir of a wild bird's wing. Not many are the years before other hands must deck our soldiers' graves with the flowers of spring, but when the last soldier of that great war shall have followed comrade and commander to that land which knows no bugle call to arms, may these lowly graves be still the shrine whereon an unforgettlns people shall lay their tribute of bloom and blossom, and be forever guarded by that emblem of the world's best hopes, and the heritage of a people yet to be—that splendid, costly flag for whose EAvnedr yev setrryid set aorf ocnri fmieslodn o fh ubelu. e.

Plant Just Now Is st Its Best and Should Have a Place on Every Table—Dumplings That Appeal to the Children. Rhubarb is at its best just now, AS well as cheap, so it ia a good time to serve it often at the table. But in order to have it appreciated it should be prepared in a variety of ways. Very delicious preserves can be made with rhubarb either alone or combined with another fruit Rhubarb and Fig Jam. — To five pounds of rhubarb cut short lengths allow one pound of cooking figs, the grated rind and Juice of one lemon, and four pounds of sugar. This should stand over night, and In the morning be cooked very slowly for an hour. Then put into glasses and seal Rhubarb Jam.—To each pound of rhubarb allow one pound of sugar and one lemon. Peel the yellow rind thin and slice the pulp. Put away over night with the cut rhubarb as before described, and boil for three^uarters of an hour slowly. Pour into jars and seat Rhubarb and Orange Jam.—Put three pounds of oranges into a preserving kettle with plenty of cold water and simmer for three hours. Drain and cut up the oranges, rejecting the seeds. Put six pounds of granulated sugar into the kettle with Just a little water and stir frequently until It boils. Then put in the oranges with three pounds of rhubarb cut into short lengths. Stir again until the mixture boils and then let the whole simmer for another twenty minutes. Rhubarb Dumplings-—Children will enjoy these for lunch or supper, even though they do not like rhubarb. The rhubarb is stewed In half its weight of sugar and a little water. While it la cooking mix a biscuit batter, using a pint of flour, one-half teaspoonful salt, two teaspoonful* of making powder and a cupful of milk. Drop this in the rhubarb by spoonfuls and cook for from eight to ten minutes. A pinch of ground ginger or a few raisins can be added if the flavor is liked. Rhubarb Jelly.—This makes a nice Sunday dessert, because It can be prepared the day before. Soak one-halt box of gelatin tn half a cupful of cold water for an hour. Cook two pounds of rhubarb in a very little water and when reduced to a pulp sweeten to taste. Set aside and cook one cupful of sugar with one of water for twenty minutes. Stir the soaked gelatin into the boiling sirup and stir until dissolved. Remove from the fire, add the rhubarb and set away in a mold to cool. Rhubarb sponge is made as for jelly, but when It begins to thicken the beaten whites of three eggs are whipped in until the jelly is quite stiff. Serve with whipped cream or a thin custard made from the yolks of the eggs. Rhubarb Compote,—A compote Is very little more trouble than stewing, but infinitely more attractive whenjerved. Boil one cupful of sugar with a wineglassful of water for five minutes. Then drop in short lengths of rhubarb, a few at a time, so they retain their shape- Take them out with a skimmer as they become tender and lay in a dish. Pour the sirup over and serve when cold.

They all dropped but one. "Norn de Dieu, lie down!" the lieutenant colonel called out furious, to the one man.

Lentils baked with a few chopped nuts and tomatoes make a dish with more value than meat After a pint of lentils have been soaked, drain and cover them with fresh water and boil until the skins crack. Place them In a shallow baking pan, mixing them with a half pound of Brazil nuts which have been peeled and chopped fine, sprinkle over two teaspoonfuls of salt cover with strained tomatoes and bake for two hours.

Grape-Nuts IS tsssVt kigid o f footL a teaspoonful of lemon juice, two small onions, four whole cloves, three red peppers, a teaspoonful of salt and a bunch of herbs—including plenty of parsley. Cover and cook over a moderate fire until the water has been absorbed and the lentils are soft but not pulpy. Take out the herbs, onions and cloves and mix with the lentils half a pound of fresh mushrooms previously cooked in their own liquor and slightly flavored with mace —set aside tUe liquor of the mushrooms for gravy. Add to -lentil and mushroom mixture two tablespoonfuls of red currant jelly, a dessertspoonful of meat or vegetable extract, a little red pepper and some celery salt Add unbeaten eggs, one or two at a time, until the mixture Is well bound together. Then brush with egg, coat with brown breadcrumbs, after shaping into a cutlet, and fry in deep fat. With the cutlet serve a well-seasoned brown gravy, using the mushroom liquid as foundation, and adding at the last moment another small spoonful of currant jelly. Lentil omelet is a Bplendid luncheon or supper dish. Wash three tablespoonfuls of lentils, then cook them In salted water. Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan, fry in it a peeled chopped shallot, add the drained lentils and fry a few minutes. Moisten with three tablespoonfuls of brown sauce, season with salt and pepper and keep hot. Break six eggs and beat them up well with two table-' spoonfuls of cream, season and pour into an omelet pan containing some melted butter. When the omelet begins to set spread the lentils over it and fold over. A little tomato sauce may be poured around the base of the dish if desired. Cheese baked with lentils makes a substantial and easily prepared dish. Prepare the lentils as for the cutlet before the mushrooms are added and sprinkle several layers of grated cheese into the baking dish between the layers of lentils. On the top put thick slices of ripe tomatoes or cover well with canned ones. Over them sprinkle finely chopped parsley and dot the whole with small pieces of butter. Bake quickly and serve hot with or without gravy. In Germany one eats lentils this way: Wash two cupfuls of lentils, soak over night, drain and cover them and one onion with boiling water and cook until tender but not broken. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan, stir in two tablespoonfuls of flour and cook' until brown; then add two onions, chopped fine, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar and two tablespoonfuls of the water th« lentils were cooked in, stir until boiling, add the drained lentils with salt and pepper as needed and a grating of nutmeg. Turn into a double boiler and cook slowly for 15 minutes.

They Are Mentioned In the Bibie and Their Origin la Unknown, The origin of «eal«* is lost in the shades of antiquity. In Assyrian and Babylonian ruins seaU are still found, and It is certain that their use passed from those countries to Greece and Rome, to all Kuroi>eau countries and from England to America. Originally they were set in rln^s. The earliest refeivuces to them In Biblical history is found in Genesis xzz rill, where It is recorded that, pending certain negotiations between Judah and Tutuur. the widow of his •on, Tamar demanded a pledge and Judah gave her hU signet and other belongings. And when A bah, king of Urael, tried to buy Naboth's vineyard and couldn't ids wife Jeaebel "wrote letters in A ha It's name and sealed them with hla seal." In the boot of Esther, chapter vlti. It 1« writteu that King Ahaauenis said to Kather and Mordeoel, "Write ye also for the Jews, as 'it* Uketa you. In the kind's name and seal it with the king's ring, for the writing which is written In the king's name and sealed with bis riug may no man reverse." Seals doubt Ions were u*ed long before the stirring event* described in the quoted chapter of Genesis, but no one took the trouble to write about them From the time of Jeremiah to William the Conqueror the pen was practically unknown to klug, noble or peasant, so the seal was absolutely necessary-—Kanaka City Star.

One would think there would not be a dissenting votes to the opinion that the gridiron snort requires far more nerre. Vet there were several who streuqously debated this contention, holding that the mental strain was greater upon the man who plays baseball. "I played varsity baseball and varsity football," said one man of the group, "and I want to tell you that the only time 1 ever felt Inward tremors was when I stood at the plate facing 1 pitcher who had a fast ball. There is something about the situation—or always was to me—wuicb made me feeJ ; my helpleasjuees, made me feel at the mercy of the pitcher, or rather at the mercy of his-possible bad aim. In football &ou were fighting against one man and ne had nothing to throw at you.'' "1 felt the name way," chimed in a former varsity guard. "When I came from prep school I had n reputation as a pitcher, but I never tried for the team because I hadn't the nerve to face the shoots of varsity twirlers.

HIS COUNTRY LATEST TO ENTER GREAT WORLD WAR Syracuse, N. Y.—The Jury In the trial of William Barnes, Jr.'s suit for Ubel against Theodore Roosevelt Saturday returned a verdict In favor of the defendant after considering for more than eleven hours the question of placing all the costs of the action upon the plaintiff. It la the belief of the jury everything Col. Roosevelt charged Is true and therefore the plaintiff, not having been libeled, Is entitled to no damages. Barnes had asked $50,000 damages because Roosevelt accused him of being In a crooked alliance with Boss Murphy of Tammany HalL The foreman of the Jury, Warren W. Summers, announced that the verdict was for the defendant and then the jury was polled. Ten Jurors answered "for the defendant," then the clerk hesitated, called the name of Edward Burns and waited. Burns, a big rosy cheeked Republican, stood up in his seat and in a deep voice, said: "For the defendant." Juror No. 12 gave the same answer. Before the jury came In the spectators In the crowded court-room were warned that any demonstration would be met with severe punishment Except for the voice of the clerk and Jurors, the room was absolutely quiet until the name of Burns was called. When he announced that he, too, favored a verdict for the former president, the court-room bussed like a dynamo with voices. Several persons in the court-room stood up and waved their hands, but there was no outburst of applause. Alter the announcement of the verdict attorneys for Mr. Barnes objected to its receipt. The objection was overruled, the Jury was thanked by Justice Andrews for Its services and It then filed out into the Jury room. Col. Roosevelt broke off shaking hands with his counsel and several newspaper men whom be has known for several years and hurried to the Jury room. There he thanked the Jury and shook hands with each member and said: "la my whole life I shall work in the interest of the public and none of you gentlemen shall ever have the chance to aay that I have done otherwise." The colonel was then photographed with the Jury. After the picture had been, taken the colonel turned to the Jury and continued: '1 am more moved by this verdict than it is possible for me to express. None of you, I assure you, will ever have cause to regret your action. I am' especially gratified that such a verdict came from a Jury composed of men of every political faith."

Lansing—Governor Ferris early Friday vetoed the Nank primary bill which was the bone of contention between him and the legislature Thursday. He was at his office at 7 o'clock, half an hour later had finished the veto message and it was ready for the public at 9 while the governor was at his hotel packing up for the week-end trip home.

The words of Henry Wolf, foreman of the Jury, sounded as a death knell In the deserted circuit court room to the hopes of Mrs. Albert Steele, to whom the verdict means life imprisonment, for the strangling of her stepdaughter. It took the Jurors in the most sensational murder case ever tried in this court 17 minutes to agree. Seat to deliberate a half hour before their supper was to have been served them, they took but one ballot The crowd, which a few memenU before had packed every available/inch of space in the court room, had hurriedly left for supper. Taken back to the JaiL Mrs. Steele, slayer of her stepdaughter, Evallna Mary, collapsed. Dr. J. M. Cooper, county physician, was hastily summoned. Captain and Mrs. Philip Lawton, of the Salvation Army, were the only ones to comfort her. A mob rapidly gathered, striving to get a glimpse of the convicted woman. Officers barred all visitors from the Jail. Prosecuting Attorney Harris EL Galph concluded the arguments shortly after 5 o'clock. He gave a stirring review of the testimony, with here and there a pointed remark regarding the claims of the accused being insane when the crime was committed. On the question of whether or not Mrs. Steele realised what she was doing when she strangled her stepdaughter, prosecution and defense battled all day In arguments before the Jury. "You must be convinced that she was sane when she committed the act; you must be convinced it was a premeditated act that she was capable of conceiving a plan of murder and executing it to its fatal conclusion, before you can bring in a verdict of guilty on this charge," Attorney R. R. Gale, of the defense, declared. "Lack of motive is not essential, in sustaining a charge' of murder," Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Chrtetion A. Broetke asserted. His telling argument was that Mrs. Steele, who now professed entire ignorance of what transpired on the day of the murder, remembers washing at the Charles Shrebe home on the afternoon of the same day, and that she remembered to exhume the body which she bad buried m the morning. BRIEFS FRO! THE WIRE ITALY DECLARES WAR ON AUSTRIA PEOPLE ARE ENTHUSIASTIC AS MEN JOIN THE COLORS. 760,000 NOW UNDER ARMS Ambassador At Vienna Presents Official Notice and Leavea At Once For Home—First Skirmish On Frontier. Rome—Italy declared war against Austria Sunday afternoon. The state of war began officially May 24. The Dues, D'Avarna, the Italian ambassador at Vienna, was instructed to present the declaration to Baron Bur- Ian, the Austrian premier, and leave at once for home. When the public became aware of the fact that hesitation was at an end and the Italian government definitely committed to make war for the redemption of the territory inhabited by. Italians under the Austrian yoke, the enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds. All parties, even the Socialists, are now united in praise for the stand of the cabinet. While the general mobilisation order issued Friday will bring about 3,- 000,000 men to the colors within a month, it Is known that Italy will start the war with about 760,000 first line troops. At the outbreak of the European war the Italian army consisted of 300,000 men, the classes with the colors being those of 1891, 1892 and 1893. After the war started two more classes, including about 220,000 men Joined the colors. Various other changes recently made under orders from General Zupelli, the minister of war, brought the strength up to 760,- 000. It is likely that the army will be under the direct command of General Caneva, who led the Italian forces in the conquest of Tripoli, or General Count Cadorna, the chief of the general staff. In case the military operations call for a division of the forces into two units each of these officers will have command of an army. Both of them are said to be soldiers of great ability and full confidence is felt that they will lead the troops, of Italy to victory. General Caneva is the only living "Generale deU'eaercito," a title which is granted only in time of actual war. He won the honor by his Tripoli campaign. The first armed clash of importance was reported Sunday from Bresica, Austrian troops crossed the frontier through the Montosso pass, about four miles north of the Tonale pass, on the western border of TyroL The patrol was met by a troop of Alpine chasseurs and forced to retreat after a stiff fight The Austrians are feverishly strengthening the defenses of the Trentino.

Oats and barley folio! Information is to band that on of May all seeding was practically" lahed. Farmers win now be busy at their breaking, end the land for sun> mer fallow will be entered upon. Some who did not get their land prepared last fall, will be later than the others, but as the spring in Western Canada has been very open they will be only a few days later. At the time of writing rain would be welcome, but at seeding time, the ground contained; a splendid lot of moisture and the lack of rain at the present time will not be serious. The number of farmers who have gone into the raising of cattle has been considerably increased; and the preparation for extensive cultivated grass pastures is in evidence everywhere. The cultivation of fodder corn Is being largely entered upon in Manitoba there being upwards of 26,000 acres in corn*. In Saskatchewan there will be a large increase in the area planted, and in Alberta many of the more progressive farmers are taking hold of i t The yield varies according to the cultivation it receives, and runs front five to nine ions per acre. In soma portions of Manitoba where it has been poor for some years, success has been achieved in ripening and it i s expected that a variety will soon be developed that will provide seed for the entire West, that will at an early date give to Western Canada a fame for the growing of a marketable corn, equal to that it has now for the growth of smaller cereals. A trip through Western Canada reveals field after field of alfalfa, the growth of which in any portion of the country is now absolutely assured. When these facts are made known to> the fanners of the corn and alfalfa growing states, where their value as wealth makers is so well known, there will be no hesitancy in taking advantage of the splendid gift of 160 acres of land made by the Government of the Dominion of Canada, where equal opportunities are offered. Besides these free grant lands, there are the lands of some of the railway companies and large land companies, that may be had at low prices and. on reasonable terms. Daring the month of February a large number of in- Quirles were received, asking for farm lands. An encouraging feature of the farm land situation in Canada Is the large percentage of sales made to settlers in the country who desire to increase their holdings or to others who will take up farming In" place of different occupations previously followed.—Advertisement Awakening.

J A low-looking, evil-faced fellow opened the door to us and growled acquaintance with Olinto, who, striking a imatch, ascended the worn, carpetless stairs before me, apologizing for passing before me, and saying in Italian: "We live at the top, stgnore, because it Is cheaper and the air is better." ,*Qtli^!flght," I said. "Quite right. !Ob- on.**S And I thought I heard my cab driving away. | It was a gloomy, forbidding, unlighted place Into which I would certainly have hesitated to enter had not my ^companion been my trusted servant, [but contrary to my expectations, the jsltting-room we entered on the top lloor was quite comfortably furnished, clean and respectable, even though traces of poverty were apparent, A cheap lamp was burning upon the table, but the apartment was unoccupied. . Olinto, in surprise, passed into the Adjoining room, returning a moment later, exclaiming: "Arm id a must have gone out to get something. Or perhaps she is with the people, a compositor and his wife, who live on the floor below. Ttiey are very good to her. HI go and And her. Accommodate yourself with a chair, signore." And lie drew the best chair forward for me, and dusted it with his handkerchief. I allowed him to go and fetch her, rather surprised that she should be well enough to get about after all he had told me concerning her illness. Tet consumption does not keep people in bed until Its final stages. Olinto returned In a few moments, saying that his wife had evidently gone to do some shopping In the Lower- Harsh. "I hope you are not pressed for time, signore?" he said apologetically. "But, of course, the poor girl does not know the surprise awaiting her. She will surely not be long." "Then 111 wait," I said, and flung myself back into the chair he had brought forward for me. "I have nothing to offer you, signor padrone," he said, with a laugh. "I did not expect a visitor, you know." "No, no, Olinto. rv*-oniy just had dinner. But tell me how you have fared since you left me." "Ah!" he laughed bitterly. "I had many ups and downs before X found myself here in London. The sea did not suit me—neither did the work. I managed to work my way from Genoa Co London. My first place was scullion In a restaurant in Tottenham Court road. Afterwards I went to the Milano, and I hope to get into one of the big hotels Very soon—or perhaps the grillroom at the Carlton." , *T11 see what I can do for yon," I said. "I know several hotel managers who might nave a vacancy." "Ah, ilgnorer be cried, filled with gratification. I f yon only would! A word from yon would secure me a good position.

Ton have tonight shown ma, signore, that yon are my frtend, and I will, in return, show yon that I am yours." And suddenly slashing both my hands, he potted me from the chair in whkh I sitting; at the same time asking j streets off the York r* low raumi whisper; "Doyouslrevotver hers In, Bag- IsasVss yea so m ttabjr t answered in sarprHs at bis "Why?* is eassnw sears* aw • A A « i M f l i M W a r A C f ^ M t I B -SSHI S S V M -IWOT vswa^^fc Tom my handy Colt in my back pocket to make sure it was there. "Forget what I have said—ell—ail that I have told you tonight, air," he said. "I have not explained the whole truth. You are in peril—In deadly peril!" "How?" I exclaimed breathlessly, surprised at his extraordinary change of manner and his evident apprehension lest something should befall me. "Walt, and you shall see," he whispered. "But first tell me, signore, that you will forgive me for the part I have played in this dastardly affair. I, like yourself, fell Innocently into the hands of your enemies." "My enemies! Who are they?" "They are unknown, and for the present must remain so. But if you doubt your peril, watch—" and taking the rusty flre-tongs from the grate he carefully placed them on end in front of the deep old armchair In which I had sat, and then allowed them to fall against the edge of the seat, springing quickly back as he did so. In an Instant a bright blue flash shot through the place, and the irons fell aside, fused and twisted out of alt recognition. I stood aghast, utterly unable for the moment to sufficiently realize how narrowly 1 had escaped death. "Look! See here, behind!" cried the Italian, directing my attention to the back legs of the chair, where, on bending with the lamp, I saw, to my surprise, that two wires were connected, and ran along the floor and out of the window, while concealed beneath the ragged carpet, In front of the chair, was a thin plate of steel, whereon my feet had rested. Those who had BO ingeniously enticed me to that gloomy house of death had connected up the overhead electric light main with that innocent looking chair, and from some unseen point had been able to switch on a current of sufficient voltage to kill fifty men. I stood Btock-stlll not daring to move lest I might come Into contact with some hidden wire, the slightest touch of which must bring instant 'death upon me. "Your enemies prepared this terrible trap for you," declared "the man who was once my trusted servant. "When t entered into the affair I was not aware that it was to be fatal. They gave me no inkling of their dastardly Intention. But there is no time to admit of explanations now, signore," he added breathlessly, in a low desperate voice. "Say that you will not prejudge me," he pleaded earnestly. "I will not prejudge you until I've heard your explanation," I said. "I certainly owe my life to you tonight" "Then quick! Fly from this house this instant. If you are stopped, then use your revolver. Don't hesitate. In a moment they win be here upon you." "But who are they, Olinto? You must tell me," I cried in desperation. "Dio! Go! Go!" he cried, pushing me violently towards the door. "Fly, or we shall both die—both of us! Run downstairs. I must make feint of dashing after you." I turned, and seeing his desperate eagerness, precipitately fled, while he ran down behind me, ottering fierce Imprecations in Italian, as though I had escaped him. A man in the narrow dark passage attempted to trip me up as I ran, but 1 fired point blank at him, and gaining the door unlocked it, and an Instant later found myself out in the street It was the narrowest escape from death that I had ever had in all my life —sorely the strangest and most remarkable adventure. What, I wondered, did it mean? Next morning I searched up and down Oxford street for the Restaurant Milano, but could not find i t 1 asked shopkeepers, postmen and policemen; I examined the London directory at the bar of the Oxford Music hall, and made every inquiry possible. But all was to no purpose. No one knew of such a place. There were restaurants in plenty in Oxford street, from the Frascati down to the humble coffeeshop, but nobody had ever heard of the "Milano." I drove over to Lambeth and wandered through the m"*e of mean yet for the life of me I eons* I had been a doosn which eeessed to me that they might be the ideattesl hones from whtoh I had so narrowly ssoapid with my Ufa, Qradsjaliy St see that the club, and that all his pitiful story regarding Amlda waa false. He was the envoy of my unknown enemies, who had so ingeniously and so relentlessly plotted my destruction. My unknown enemies had secured the services of Olinto In their dastardly plot to kill me. With what motive? That day I did my business in the city with a distrust of everyone, not knowing whether I was not followed or whether those who sought my life were not plotting some other equally Ingenious move whereby I might go Innocently to my death. I endeavored to discover Olinto by every possible means during those stifling days that followed. The beat of London was, to me, more oppressive than the fljery sunshine of the old-world Tuscany, and everyone who could be out of town had left for the country or the sea. Defeated in every inquiry, and my business at last concluded in London, I went up to Dumfries on a duty visit which I paid annually to my uncle, Sir George Little. Each time I returned from abroad I was always a welcome guest at Greenlaw, and this occasion proved no exception, for the country houses of Dumfries are always gay in August in prospect of the shooting. "Some new people have taken Rannoch castle. Rather nice they seem," remarked my aunt as we were sitting together at luncheon the day after my arrival. "Their name Is Lelthcourt, and they've asked me to drive you over there to tennis this afternoon." "I'm not much of a player, you know, aunt. In Italy we don't believe in athletics. But If it's out of politeness, of course, I'll go." "Very well," she said. "Then I'll order the victoria for three." "There are several nice girls there, Gordon," remarked my uncle mis- In s n . Instant a Bright Blue Flash Shot Through the Place. chievously. "You have a good time, so dont think yon are going to be bored." "No tear of that" was my answer. And at three o'clock Sir George, his wife, and myself set out for that fine old historic castle that stands high on the Bognie. When we drove into the grounds we found a gay party in summer toilettes assembled on the ancient bowling green, now transformed into a modern tennis lawn. Mrs. Lelthcourt and her husband, a talL thin, gray-headed man, both came forward to greet us. They were a merry crowd. The Leltheourts were entertaining a large house party, and their hospitality was on a seals quite In keeping with the fine old place they rented. Tea was served on the lawn by the footmen, and, tired of the game, I found myself with Muriel Lelthcourt, a bright dark-eyed girl with tightlybound hair, and wearing a cotton bkmse and flnn,**a tennis skirt -I know Italy slightly," she said. 1 in Florence and Naples with moth> And shea we began to discuss picaad sculptures and the sights of Italy gwnoratty. I esseerned from her1 Chat she htm traveled ****> shw tsH saw thai both her than when moving from place to place in search of variety and distraction. We had entered the huge paneled hall of the caatle, and had passed up the quaint old stone staircase to the long banqueting hall with its paneled oak celling. It waa pleasant lounging there/in the cool old room after the hot sunshine outside, and as I gazed around the place I noted how much more luxurious and tasteful it now waa to what It had been In the days when I had visited its owner several years before. "We are awfully glad to be up here," my pretty companion was saying. "We had such a busy season In London." And then she went on to describe the court ball, and two or three of the most notable functions about which I had read in my English paper beside the Mediterranean. She attracted me on account of her bright vivacity, quick wit and keen sense of humor, her gossip interested me, and as the golden sunset flooded the handsome old room I sat listening to her, Inwardly admiring her innate grace and handsome countenance. I had no idea who or what her father was—whether a wealthy manufacturer, like so many who take expensive shoots and give big entertainments in order to edge their way Into society by its back door, or whether he was a gentleman of means and of good family. I rather guessed the latter, from his gentlemanly bearing and polished manner. His appearance, tall and erect, was that of a retired officer, and his clean-cut face was one of marked distinction. I was telling my pretty companion something of my own life, how, because I loved Italy so well, I lived In Tuscany in preference to living In England, and how each year I came home for a month or two to visit my relations and to keep in touch with things. Suddenly she said: "I was once in Leghorn for a few hours. We were yachting In the Mediterranean. I love the sea—and yachting is such awfully good fun, If you only get decent weather." The mention of yachting brought back to my mind the visit of the Lola and its mysterious sequel. "Your father has a yacht, then?" I remarked, with as little concern as I could. "Yes. The Iris. My uncle is cruising on her up the Norwegian Fiords. For us it is a change to be here, because we are so often afloat." "So you must have made many long voyages, and seen many odd corners of the world, Miss Lelthcourt?" I remarked, my Interest in her increasing, for she seemed so extremely intelligent and well informed. "Oh, yes. We've been to Mexico, and to Panama, besides Morocco, Egypt and the west coast of Africa." "And you've actually landed at Leghorn!" I remarked. "Yes, but we didn't stay there more than an hour—to send a telegram, I think it was. Father said there was nothing to see there. He and I went ashore, and I must say I was rather disappointed." "You are quite right. The town itself is ugly and uninteresting. But the outskirts—San Jacopo, Ardenza and Antigniano are all delightful. It was unfortunate that you did not see them. Was it long ago when you put in there?" "Not very long. I really don't recollect the exact date," was her reply. "We were on our way home from Alexandria." "Have you ever, in any of the ports you've been, seen a yacht called the Lola?" I asked eagerly, for it occurred to me that perhaps she might be able to give me information. "The Lola!" she gasped, and Instantly her face changed. A flush overspread her cheeks, succeeded next moment by a deathlike pallor. "The Lola!" she repeated In a strange, hoarse voice, at the same time endeavoring strenuously not to exhibit any apprehension. "No. I have never heard of any such a vessel. Is she a steam yacht? Who's her owner?" I regarded her in amazement and suspicion, for I saw that mention of the name had aroused within her some serious misgiving. That look in her dark eyes as they fixed themselves upon me wss one of distinct and unspeakable terror. What could she possibly know concerning the mysterious craft? "I don't know the owner's name," I said, still affecting not to have noticed her alarm and apprehension. "The vessel ran aground at the Melorla, a dangerous shoal outside Leghorn, and through the stupidity of her captain was very nearly lost." "Yes?** she gasped, In a half-whisper, bending to me eagerly, unable to sufficiently conceal the terrible anxiety consuming her. "And you—did you go aboard her T* "Yes,** was the only word I uttered. A silence fell between us, and as my eyes fixed themselves upon her, I saw that from her handsome mobile countenance all the light and life had suddenly gone oat tad X knew that she was In secret possession of the key to that remarkable enigma that so pussled me. / Of a sudden the door opened, and a voice cried gayly: "Why, I've been looking everywhere for you, Muriel. Why are you hidden here? Aren't you coming?" We both turned, and as she did so a low cry of blank dismay involuntarily escaped her. Next instant I sprang to my feet. The reason of her cry waa apparent, for there, in the full light of the golden I Regarded Her in Astonishment and Suspicion. sunset streaming through the long open windows, stood a broad-shouldered, fair-bearded man In tennis flannels and a Panama hat—the fugitive I knew as Philip Hornby! I faced him, speechless. CHAPTER IV. I In Which the Mystery Increases Neither of us spoke. Hornby start* ed quickly as soon as his eyes fell upon me, and his face became blanched to the lips, while Muriel Lelthcourt, quick to notice the sudden change in him, rose and introduced us in as calm a voice as she could command. "I don't think you are acquainted," she said to me with a smile. "This is Mr. Martin Woodroffe— Mr. Gordon Gregg." We bowed, exchanging greetings as strangers, while, carefully watching, I saw how greatly the minds of both were relieved. They shot meaning glances at each other, and then, as he chatted with the daughter of the house, he cast a quick, covert glance at me, and then darted a meaning look at ner—a look of renewed confidence, as though he felt that he had successfully averted any suspicions I might have held. We talked of the prospects of the grouse and the salmon, and from his remarks he seemed to be as keen at sport as he had once made out himself to be at yachting. While I was carefully watching the rapid working of his mind, Lelthcourt himself entered and joined us. Host and guest were evidently on the most Intimate terms. Lelthcourt addressed him as "Martin," and while they were talking Muriel suggested that we should stroll down to the tennis courts again, an invitation which, much as I regretted leaving the two men, I was bound to accept. Among the party strolling and lounging there prior to departure were quite a number of people I knew, people who had shooting boxes in the vicinity and were my uncle's friends. In Scotland there is always a hearty hospitality among the snorting folk, and the laws of caste are far less rigorous than tbey ere in England. I was standing chatting with two ladles who were about to take leave of their hostess, when Lelthcourt returned, but alone. Hornby had not accompanied him. Was it because he feared to again meet me? In order tb ascertain something regarding the man who had so mysteriously fled from Leghorn, I managed by the exercise of a little diplomacy to sit on the lawn with a young married woman named Tennant wile of a cavalry captain, who was one of thrhonse party. After a little time I succeeded in turning the conversation to her fellow guests, sad more particularly to the man I knew as Hornby. "Oh! Mr. Woodroffe is most amusing," declared the bright tittle wosnan. "He's always playing some practical joke or other. After dinner ho is usually the life and soul of onr party."

Around the States The Florida legislature has passed a Btringent regulation measure, prohibiting the sale of any liquor in other than sealed packages in a licensed bar room, thus cutting off beer on draught and all broken packages. It also prohibits the sale of beer or other liquor in clubs and hotels except under the same regulations as those governing saloons. Danville, 111., was voted dry by the city council on May 1, for the first time in the history of the city. The council had been called in special meeting to act on the renewal of licenses of 73 saloons which expired the midnight previous. The action of the council means that Danville will be without saloons for at least a year, until another expression of the people is had. At the recent township election, the wets were victorious by more than 1,500 majority. In the recent elections in South Dakota the greatest dry victory in 20 years was won. The temperance forces swept the state, holdiqg all of the more than 400 towns and cities heretofore dry, except two, and swinging at least 17 wet cities into the dry list.

Standing by a pool of blood, the saloonkeeper with scared white face said, "Send for Mrs. Smith." He did not ask for the services of timid Deacon Pray well, who was afraid to open his mouth on the liquor question, nor did he desire the presence of Minister Softly, who was lukewarm on the subject, but he wanted the brave* little woman who had fought his business year in and year out.

The present year will add another proof that farming in Western Canada, when carried on with the same energy and system devoted to other lines of business, will bring about results fully as satisfactory. Mixed farming a* a tocsin has been sounded for a number of years, and today it is being adopted pretty generally throughout the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. There are those who have made no greater success of it than they did when they pursued grain growing alone, but where one has failed to accomplish whafr he had hoped to do, dozens have scored success. Prom Sedgewick, Alberta, we hear of B. L. Deputy, for past twelve years manager for FVye & Sons, packers, Seattle, who during 1914 were the largest buyers of hogs on Alberta markets. He is taking up active work on his 1,200-acre farm near Sedgewick. Although he was one of the highest paid salaried officials on the Pacific Coast, his frequent visit* and personal knowledge of farming conditions in Western Canada convinced him there are greater opportunities in farming Alberta land than in commercial life, with greater assurance of ultimate independence and prospects of home-making under the most desirable conditions. Thomas McKay, a farmer near Hardisty, Alberta, has this to say about the eountry: "I came to Hardisty from Osage City, Kansas, nine years ago and took up a homestead here. This is a good district for the farmer who wishes to raise grain exclusively, and as a mixed farming country it cannot be beaten anywhere In the world to my knowledge. "I had ten cattle, which ranged outside all last winter, and this spring they were fat enough for the market, this without being fed but one night during the entire winter; they were fine fat cattle and looked beautiful. I raised some winter wheat here which weighed sixty-seven and a half pounds to the bushel, government weight, and which I shipped to Calgary. The miller who bought it said that it was the best wheat that had ever gone into Calgary. Wheat in this district yields as high as forty bushels to the acre, oats average sixty bushels. Alfalfa does well here. "All in all I think the farmers are very well satisfied with the country, and the farmer who farms his land intelligently is sure to make a success. The climate here is the best I have ever lived in, the summers are delightful and the winters are mild. There has never been a blizzard during the nine years I have lived here nor any cyclones or wind storms." A settler in the neighborhood of Oleichen, Alberta, spent $2,000 in improving his .quarter section, has 125 acres ready for crop, keeps 70 head of stock, believes in mixed farming, keeps two hired men, one all year, the other in summer only. He milks 12 to IS cows, and receives an average monthly cream cheque of $110. Last June he sold $1,200 worth of hogs and In November two more carloads, besides supplying his own requirements, and is not only making money but building up a good home amid desirable surroundings. This is'an example of the possibilities open to the Industrious in the Gleichen district. It is stated in the last three months $38,000,000 of American capital has bean invested in Canada, showing that United States financial men are satisfied of the solidity of Canadian institutions. Western Canada has been a heavy borrower and Western Canada's great resource is agriculture. U. 8. financiers must be convinced that agriculture in Western Canada is sure and profitable or they would not be ready to invest so many millions in the country.—Advertisement. « GERMAN REPLY TO AMERICAN NOTE ON LUSITANIA Full Text of Imperial Governments Communication to United States CLAIM MADE THAT LINER WAS FIGHTING VESSEL Final Decision On Wilson's Demands Is Withheld Until Consideration Is Given to Alleged Facts Regarding Status of Sunken Ship.

Berlin, May 31—The following is the text of the German note, sent In reply to the United States protest against the sinking of the Lusitania and attacks on American steamers: "The undersigned has the honor to submit to Ambassador Gerard the following answer to the communication of May 15 regarding the injury to American interests through German submarine warfare: "The imperial government has subjected the communication of the American government to a thorough investigation. It entertains also a keen wish to co-operate in a frank and friendly way in clearing up a possible misunderstanding which may have arisen in the relations between the two governments through the events mentioned by the American government. "Regarding, firstly, the cases of the American steamers Cushlng and Gulflight. The American embassy has already been informed that the German government has no intention of submitting neutral ships in the war zone, which are guilty of no hostile acts, to attacks by a submarine or submarines or aviators. On the contrary, the German forces have repeatedly been instructed most specifically to avoid attacks on such ships. "If neutral ships in recent months have suffered through the German submarine warfare owing to mistakes in identification, it is a question only of quite Isolated and exceptional cases which can be attributed to the British government's abuse of flags, together with the suspicious or culpable behavior of the masters of the ships. • Has Expressed Regret. "The German government, in all cases where it has been shown by its investigations that a neutral ship, not itself at fault, was damaged by German submarine or aviators, has expressed regret over the unfortunate accident, and, if justified by conditions, has offered indemnification. "The cases of the Cushing and the Gulflight will be treated on the same principles. An investigation of both cases is in progress, the result of which will presently be communicated to the embassy. The investigation can, if necessary, be supplemented by an international call on the international commission of inquiry as provided by Article III. of The Hague agreement of October 18, 1907. "When sinking the British steamer Falaba, the commander of the German submarine had the intention of allowing the passengers a full opportunity for escape. Only when they did not obey the order to heave-to, but fled and summoned help by rocket signals, did the German commander order the crew and passengers by signals and megaphone to leave the ship within 10 minutes. We actually allowed them 23 minutes' time, and fired the torpedo only when suspicions craft were hastening to the assistance of the Falaba. "Regarding the loss of life by the sinking of the British passenger steamer Lusitania, the German government has already expressed to the neutral governments concerned its keen regret that citisens of their states lost their lives. Escaped U. ft. Attention. "On this occasion, the Imperial government, however, cannot eecape the impression that certain Important facta having a direct bearing on the sinking of the Loaftanla may have escaped the attention of Use government. "lathe interest of a clear aad plete understanding, which Is the s i n of both governments, the ft to ©onvtnee itself that the tafotv to both the facts ef Use ease » flats aad la of the Vss>i man. The imperial government allows itself in this connection to point out that the Lusitania was one of the largest and fastest British merchant ships, built with government funds as an auxiliary cruiser and carried expressly as such in the 'navy list' issued by the British admiralty. "It is further known to the imperial government, from trustworthy reports from its agents and neutral passengers, that, for a considerable time, practically all the more valuable British merchantmen have been equipped with cannon and ammunition and other weapons, and manned with persons who have been specially trained in serving guns. The Lusitania, too, according to information received here, had cannon aboard, which v/ere moi' "ted and concealed below decks. Rammed Submarines. "The imperial government, further, has the honor to direct the particular attention of the American government to the fact that the British admiralty, in a confidential instruction issued in February, 1915, recommended its merchantile shipping not only to seek protection under neutral flags and distinguishing marks, but also, while thus disguised, to attack German submarines by ramming. As a special incitation to merchantmen to destroy submarines, the British government also offered high prizes and has already paid such rewards. "The imperial government, in view of the facts indubitably known to it, is unable to regard British merchantmen in the zone of naval operations specified by the admiralty staff of the German navy as 'undefended.' German commanders consequently are no longer able to observe the customary regulations of the prize law, which they before always followed. "Finally the imperial government must point out particularly that the Lusitania on its last trip, as on earlier occasions, carried Canadian troops and * war material, including no less than 5,400 cases of ammunition in- \ tended for the destruction of the; brave German soldiers who are ful- i filling their duty with self-sacrifice j and devotion In the fatherland's ser-; vice. j "The German government believes | that it was acting in justified self- j defense in seeking with all the means of warfare at its disposition to protect the lives of its soldiers by destroying ammunition intended for the enemy. Company Aware. "The British shipping company must have been aware of the danger to which the passenger * aboard the Lusitania were exposed under these conditions. The company in embarking them, notwithstanding this attempted deliberately to use the lives of American citizens as protection for the ammunition aboard, and acted against the clear provisions of the American law, which expressly prohibits the forwarding of passengers on Bhips carrying ammunition and provides a penalty therefor. The company, therefore, is wantonly guilty of the death of so many passengers. "There can be no doubt, according to the definite report of the submarine's commander, which is further confirmed by all other information, that the quick sinking of the Lusitania is primarily attributable to the explosion of the ammunition shipment caused by a torpedo. The Lusitania's passengers would otherwise, in all human probability, have been saved. "The imperial government considers the above-mentioned facts important enough to recommend them to the attentive examination of the American government. "The imperial government, while withholding its final decision on the demands advanced In connection with the sinking of the Lusitania, until receipt of an answer from the American government, feels impelled, in conclusion, to recall here and now that it took cognizance with satisfaction of the mediatory proposals submitted by the United States government to Berlin and London as a basis for a modus vivendi for conducting the maritime warfare between Germany and Great Britain. The imperial government by Its readiness to enter on a discussion of these proposals then demonstrated its good intentions in ample fashion The realization of these proposals was defeated, as la known, by the declinatory attitude of the British government m "The undersigned takes occasion. etc. (Signed) "JAGOW."

Lansing.—The en-campment schedule for the Michigan National Guard has been announced by Col. M. J. Phillips, acting adjutant-general. The two batteries of field artillery will go to Sparta, Wis., July 18 for 10 days; the cavalry, infantry and the signal corps to Grayling Aug. 12 for 10 days; the field hospital and two ambulance companies to Sparta Aug. 12 for 10 days, and the Calumet engineers to Washington barracks, near Washington, Aug. 3 to 14. The medical officers of the M. N. G. will be sent to Sparta July 5 to 10 for a school of instruction; the officers and non-commissioned officers of the artillery to Sparta June 1 to 15, for school of instruction; and the cavalry officers to Fort Sheridan June C to 13, for a school of instruction, while the school of instruction for the signal corps officers will be held at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., June 5 to 15. In addition to the schools of Instruction, the enlisted cooks of the M. N. G. have not been overlooked. In fact, the national government is now offering the various state guards a special inducement in the way of cooking instructions, and a three months course of instruction Is given any enlisted cook who desires to become more proficient in the art. A few of the M. N. G. enlisted cooks have already taken advantage of this opportunity and several more are expected to. The only requirements are that cooks must agree to stay in the M. N. G. service for at least three years and the government will pay transportation and board while attending the school. ew 3¾¾ Are Your KidneyrWcak?

DE PALMA WINS GREAT RACE Indianapolis Gasoline Classic 8et» New Record for Automobile 8 peed. Indianapolis, Ind.—Ralph De Palma Monday drove his Mercede car 500 miles faster than any vehicle of human construction ever had traveled the Bame distance before, and by so doing won the fifth Indianapolis motor speedway derby, the gasoline classic of the age. He had to do it too, for Darius Resta, at the wheel of a Peugeot, pressed him hard from first to last and at the finish was less than four minutes behind the winner. De Palma's time was S hours 33 minutes 55.50 seconds, and average speed of 89.84 miles an hour for the whole distance. Resta finished in 5 hours 37 minutes 34.95 seconds. The- best previous record was 6 hours 3 minutes 46.9 seconds made by Rene Thomas in 1914. Mean Thing. Patience—I don't think Will is at all observing. Patrice—You don't? "No, I don't" "Well, I do. Why, he said the other night you had twice as much color on one cheek as on the other." Genuine Heroism. The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common, nor the common the heroic. If you would serve your brother, because it is fit for you to serve him, do not take back your words when you find that prudent people do not commend you. Be true to your own act, and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extraordinary, and broken the monotony of a decorous age.

"Ot coarse. They've been engaged nearly a year, but he's been abroad until quite lately. He is rather close about bis own affairs, and never talks about his travels and adventures, although one day Mr. Leithcourt declared that his hairbreadth escapes would make a most exciting book If ever written," "Leithcourt and he are evidently most intimate friends." "Oh, quite inseparable !" she laughed. "And the other man who is always with them is that short, stout, red-faced old fellow standing over there with the lady In pale blue, Sir TJghtred Gardner. Mr. Woodroffe has nicknamed him 'Sir Putrid.' And we both laughed./ "Of course, don't say I said so," she whispered. 'They don't call him that to his face, but it's so easy to make a mistake in his name when he's not within hearing. We women don't care for him, so the nickname just fits." And she gossiped on, telling me much that I desired to know regarding the new tenant of Rannoch and his friends, and more especially of that man who had first introduced himself to me in the consulate at Leghorn. Half an hour later my uncle's carriage was announced, and I left with the distinct impression that there was some deep mystery surrounding the Leithcourts. Whatever the reason, I had become filled with grave apprehensions. The mystery grew deeper day by day, and was inexplicable. During the week that followed I sought to learn all I could regarding the new people at the castle. "They are taken up everywhere, declared my aunt when I questioned her. "Of course, we knew very little of them, except that they had a shoot np near Fort William two yean ago, and that they have a town house in Green street They are evidently rather smart folks. Don't you think go?" "Judging from their house party, yea," I responded, T h e y are about as gay a crowd aa one could And north of Carlisle Jut at present" "Exaxetly. There are some wellknown people among them, too," said my aunt T r e asked them over tomorrow afternoon, and they've "AJlow me to offer my best congratulations. When you introduced me to Mr. Woodroffe the oth"er day I had no idea that he was to be your husband." She glanced at me quickly, and I saw in her dark eyes a look of suspicion. Then she flushed slightly, and laughing uneasily said, in a blank, hard voice: "It's very good of you, Mr. Gregg, to wish me all sorts of such pleasant things." "And when is the happy event to take place?" "The date is not exactly fixed—early next year, I believe," and I thought she sighed. "And you will probably spend a good deal of time yachting?" I suggested, my eyes fixed upon her in order to watch the result of my pointed remark. But she controlled herself perfectly. "Mr. Woodroffe has gone up to town, your mother says." "Yes. He received a wire, and had to leave immediately. It was an awful bore, for we had arranged to go for a picnic to Dundrennan* abbey yesterday." "But he'll be back here again, won't he?" "I really don't know. It seems quite uncertain. I had a letter this morning which said he might have to go over to Hamburg on business, Instead of coming up to us again." There was disappointment in her voice, and yet at the same time I could not fail to recognize how the man to whom she was engaged had fled from Scotland because of my presence. As we passed along those graveled walks it somehow became vividly impressed upon me that her marriage was being forced upon her by her parents. Her manner was that of one who was concealing some strange and terrible secret which she feared might be revealed. There was a distant look of unutterable terror in those dark eyes as though she existed In some constant and ever-present dread. Of "Excellent!" I exclaimed, for I wanted an opportunity for another chat wit* the dark-eyed girl who was engaged to the* man whose aHas was Homey* I particelarjy desired to ascertain the reason of her fear when I had mentioned the Lola, and whether she possessed any knowledge of HyltonChater. The opportunity came to me in due course, for next aftetaoon the Rannoch petty drove over hi two large brakes, t a d with other people frost the osighand a band treat Dumfries, sty a gay and As Z expected. Woodroffe did not accompany the party. Mrs. Leithcourt a slightly fassy littls lor his absence, explaining that he had to bet was retamteg to at the end of the «o The Picture Was That of a Young Girt coarse she told me nothing of her own feelings or affections, yet I recognised In both her words and her bearing; a curious apathy a want of the real enthusiasm of affection. Woodroffe, much her senior, was her tether's friend, and it therefore seemed to likely that Letthcourt was pressing a alliance upon his daughter lor sesse ulterior motive. She was she longed to confide and advice of someone, yet by of dinners, and while my uncle several times Invited Leithcourt and bis friends to his shoot with al fresco luncheon, which the ladies joined, the tenant of Rannoch always Invited us back in return. Thus I gained many opportunities of talking with Muriel, and of watching her closely. I had the reputation of being a confirmed bachelor, and on account of that it seemed that she was In no way averse to my companionship. She could handle a rook rifle as well as any woman, and was really a very fair shot. We often found ourselves alone tramping across the wide open moorland, or along those delight ful glens of the Nithsdale, glorious in the autumn tints of their luxurious foliage. Her father, on the other hand, seemed to view me with considerable suspicion, and I could easily discern j that I was only asked to Rannoch because it was impossible to invite my uncle without including myself. His pronounced antipathy towards me caused me to watch him surreptitiously, and more closely than perhaps I should otherwise have done. He was a man of gloomy mood, and often he would leave his guests and take walks alone, musing and brooding. On several occasions I followed him in secret, and found to my surprise that although he made long detours in various directions, yet he always arrived at the same spot at the same hour—five o'clock. The place where he halted was on the edge of a dark wood on the brow of a hill about three miles from Rannoch. Leithcourt never went there direct, but always so timed his walks that he arrived just at five, and remained there smoking cigarettes until half-past, as though awaiting the arrival of some person he expected. In my youth I had sat many a quiet hour there in the darkening gloom and knew the wood well, and was able to watch the tenant of Rannoch from points where he least suspected the presence of another. Once, when I was alone with Muriel, I mentioned her father's capacity for walking alone, whereupon she said: "Oh, yes, he was always fond of walking. He used to take me with him when we first came here, but he always went so far that I refused to go any more." She never once mentioned Woodroffe. I allowed her plenty of opportunity for doing so, chaffing her about her forthcoming marriage In order that she might again refer to him. But never did his name pass her lips. I understood that he had gone abroad— that was all. Often when alone I reflected upon my curious adventure on that night when I met Olinto, and of my narrow escape from the hands of my unknown enemies. I wondered if that ingenious and dastardly attempt upon my life had really any connection with that strange incident at Leghorn. As day succeeded day, my mind became filled by Increasing suspicion. Mystery surrounded me on every hand. Indeed, by one curious fact alone it was increased a hundredfold. Late one afternoon, when I had been out shooting all day with the Rannoch party, I drove back to the castle in the Perth cart with three other men, and found the ladles assembled in the great hall with tea ready. A welcome log fire was blazing in the huge old grate, for In October It is chilly and damp in Scotland and a fire is pleasant at evening. Muriel was seated upon the high padded fender—like those one has at clubs—which always formed a coxy spot for the ladles, especially after dinner. When I entered, she rose quickly and handed me my cup, exclaiming as she looked at me: "Oh, Mr. Gregg! What a state you are ln!M "Yes, I was after snipe, and slipped into a bog," I laughed. "Bat it was early this morning, and the mud has dried." "Come with me, and I'll get you a brush," she urged. And I followed her through the long corridors and upstairs to a small sitting-room which was her own little sanctum, where she worked and read—a coxy little place with two queer old windows In the colossal wan, and a floor of polished oak, and great black beams above. As my eyes wandered around the room they suddenly fell upon an object which canned me to start with profound wonder a cabinet photograph In a frame of crimson leather. The picture was that of a young girl —a duplicate of the portrait I had found torn across and flung aside on hoard the Lola! The mil i j eyes laughed out at me I<Mood staring nt it in sheer be- "Long ago?" "A little over two years ago." "She's very beautiful!" 1 declared, taking up the photograph and discovering that it bore the name of the same weU-known photographer in New Bond street as that I had found on the carpet of the Lola In the Mediterranean. "Yes. She's really prettier than her photograph. It hardly does her Justice." "And where ia she now?" "Why are you so very inquisitive, Mr. Gregg?" laughed the handsome girl. "Have you actually fallen in love with her from her picture?" "I'm hardly given to that kind of thing, Miss Leithcourt," 1 answered with mock severity. "I don't think even my worst enemy could call me a flirt, could she?" "No. I will give you your due," she declared. "You never do flirt. That is why I like you." "Thanks for your candor, Miss Leithcourt," I said. "Only," she added, "you seem smitten with Elma's cbarmB." "I think she's extremely pretty," I remarked, with the photograph still in my hand. "Do you ever see her now?" "Never," she replied. "Since the day 1 left school we have never met. She was several years younger than myself, and 1 heard that a week after I left Chichester her people came and took her away. Where she is now I have no idea. Her people lived somewhere in Durham. Her father was a doctor." ""Then you have heard absolutely nothing as to her present position or whereabouts—whether she is married, for instance?" "Ah!" she cried mischievously. "You betray yourself by your own words. I Listened, Trying to Distinguish the Words Uttered. You have fallen in love with her, I really believe, Mr. Gregg. If she knew, she'd be most gratified—or at least she ought to be." At' which I smiled, preferring that she should adopt that theory in preference to any other. She spoke frankly, as a pure honest girl would speak. She was not jealous, but she neverthless resented—as women do resent such things—that I should fall in love with a friend's photograph. There was a mystery surrounding that torn picture; of that I was absolutely certain. The remembrance of that memorable evening when I had dined on board the Lola arose vividly before me. Why had the girl's portrait been so ruthlessly - destroyed ? Hour by hour the mystery surrounding the Leithcourts became more inscrutable, more intensely absorbing. I had searched a copy of the London directory at the Station hotel at Carlisle, and found that no house in Green street was registered as occupied by the tenant of Rannoch; and, further, when I came to examine the list of! guests at the castle, I found that they were really persons unknown In society. Leithcourt seemed to possess a long pocket and smiled upon those parasites, officers of doubtful commission and younger sprigs of the pseudo-aristocracy who surrounded him, while his wife, keen-eyed and of superb bearing, was punctilious concerning all points of etiquette, and at the same time indefatigable that her mixed set of guests should enjoy a really good time. Next day I shot with the Carxsftehaels of Ciusshoin, and about four •'clock, after a food day, took leave of the party M the Black Glen, and started off alone to walk home, a i*ttaint of shout six aallea. It hog flank, and would he suite dark, i I reached smy uncle's My ntont direct way wan to '<"' m over a wide moor foil of bogs and pitfall* isr the ft»w«*,* My gun over "fay sbaajdsr, 1 walked on for about thre^-quscsflpw of an hour, and had nearly traversed the wood, at that heur so dajk that I had considerable difficulty In finding my way, when—of a sudden—1 fancied 1 distinguished voices. I halted. Yes. Men were talking in low tones of confidence, and in that calm stillness of evening they appeared nearer to me tb,an they actually were. 1 listened, trying to distinguish the words uttered, but could stake out nothing. They were moving slowly together, in close vicinity to myself, for their feet stirred the dry leaves, and I could hear the boughs cracking as they forced their way through them. Of a sudden, while standing there not daring to breathe lest I should betray my presence, a strange sound fell upon my eager ears. Next moment I realized that I was at that place where Leithcourt so persistently kept his disappointed tryst, having approached it from within the wood. The sound alarmed me, and yet it was neither an explosion of fire arms nor a startling cry for help. One word reached me in the darkness— one single word of bitter and withering reproach. Heedless of the risk I ran and the peril to which I exposed myself, I dashed forward with a resolve to penetrate the mystery, until I came to the gap in the rough stone wall where Leithcourt's habit was to halt each day at sundown. There, in the falling darkness, the sight that met my eyes at the spot held me rigid, appalled, stupefied. In that instant I realized the truth— a truth that was surely the strangest ever revealed to any man. CHAPTER V. Contains Certain Confidences. As I dashed forward to the gap in the boundary wall of the wood, I nearly stumbled over a form lying across the narrow path. So dark was it beneath the trees that at first I could not plainly make out what it was until I bent and my hands touched the garments of a woman. Her hat had fallen off, for I felt it beneath my feet, while the cloak was a thick woolen one. Was she dead, I wondered? That cry—that single word of reproach— sounded in my ears, and it seemed plain that she had been struck down ruthlessly after an exchange of angry words. I felt in my pocket for my ve3tas, but unfortunately my box was empty. Yet just at that moment my strained ears caught a sound—the sound of someone moving stealthily among the fallen leaves. Seizing my gun, I demanded who was there. There was, however, no response. The instant I spoke the movement ceased. It seemed evident that a tragedy had occurred, and that the victim at my feet was a woman. But who? Of a sudden, while I stood hesitating, blaming myself for being without matches, I heard the movement repeated. Someone was quickly receding— escaping from the spot. I sprang through the gap, straining my eyes into the gloom, and as I did so could just distinguish a dark figure receding quickly beneath the wall of the wood. In an instant I dashed after it. Down the steep hill to the Scarwater I followed the fugitive, crossing the old footbridge near Penpont, and then up a wild winding glen towards the Caimmore of Deugh. For a couple of miles or more I was close behind, until, at a turn in the dark wooded glen where it branched in two directions, I lost all trace of the person who flew from me. Whoever it was they had very cleverly gone Into hiding In the undergrowth of one or other of the two glens—which, I could not decide. I stood out of breath, the perspiration pouring from me, undecided how to act Was it Leithcourt himself whom I had surprised? That idea somehow became impressed upon me, and I suddenly re* solved to go boldly across to Rannoch and ascertain for myself. Therefore, with the excuse that I waa belated o s my walk home, I turned hack dowm the glen, and half an hour afterward entered the great well-lighted hall of the castle where the guests, ready dressed, were assembling prior to dinner. I was welcomed warmly, and just then Leithcourt himself Joined hst guests, ready dressed In his dinner Jacket, having Just descended front has "Holloa, Greggrhe fly, holding eat his day of i t evidently -Very fair," I longer with hist and have got in •«•£ %- ./"; ' • * ' • "** '**?•*'« iVS*.' .•: .<>, ^ * • . • .

MONKS B R O S . THE FBHLT? OF GMEESSNESS By 8. W. Ingllsh, Fire Prevention Expert. Every time you hear the cry ot "Fire!" you can be almost absolutely •ale in thinking that someone has been careless. Fires don't happen. They are the inevitable result of combinations of preventable things. When analyzed to the last equation it will be found that carelessness ia the root whence spring nearly all fires. What a penalty industry pays to carelessness: Fire ia the great destroyer. The wealth of a generation can be wiped out In but a brief hour- Why not fight fires before they start? Why not so conduct your habits and so keep your premises that when the fire demon wants to offer your savings as a sacrifice he will pass you by, just as those of Egypt of old were passed over when the sign they had been told to place over their doors, were seen? Too often when those who are responsible from fire cry out they are the victims of bad luck, they are but paying the natural penalty for their own carelessness.

Some students of the problem of rural organization are strongly of the opinion that such an agricultural council is necessary before much can be done for the bettering of rural credit or the marketing of farm produce. There is no object, for example, in having more capital/In a farming neighborhood unless the farmers know without any guest-work just how to use that capital so as to increase the production and the profit of their farms. If all the leading farmers of a neighborhood would lay their heads together and talk over the situation and study the opportunities for new investment, they would be less likely to make mistakes than if they work secretly, as separate Individuals.

It often happens that the woman who loves plants-has no sunny windows 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 is no good reason why the lover of plants should be without their company In the winter, provided, of course, that the temperature of the rooms can be regulated to Veep out the frost, and some of the plants that can be grown in the windows that are without sunshine are among our most desirable ones for house culture. First on the list I would place the Boston fern. Nearjy everyone is familiar with this plant. It requires 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 varying several degrees above the frost point, and anyone may be reasonably sure of success with i t 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 indefinitely under them The Aspidistra is about the only plant I would dare to recommend to those Uring in rooms heated and lighted as mentioned above. This plant has an almost iron constitution, which enables it to withstand influences that would soon kill most plants. It seems to care nothing for the sunshine, and therefore is excellently adapted to cultivation in sunless If not subject to the debilitating effect of steam heat It will make a most luxuriant growth, and its rich, • dark leaves will afford a vast amount of pleasure. While it it able to withstand unfavorable conditions better than other plants, it is always grateful for good ears, and the plants that are cared for well are always the ones that give the beat satisfaction, keep in mind. English ivy is an old favorite. Twined up about a window, it is a beautiful sight to see. I know-of no •toe having more attractive foliage. Its dark, rich leaves have Just the thick, leathery texture a plant should bate to resist the effect of dry air and dast Dust need never be allowed to aecnmulete on i t however. Dast the vine every day. Ton need not be afraid of injuring the foliage. Petal of the finest specimens of It I sswe ever seen have never bad a ajBmpes of sanehine. Give it a eon of Bare its pot well drained; water Be on the lookout for If the etalka, bet sometimes on the the entire plant wttfc tftkmw care to rub the the hooks that hold it—and there you are. The Whitman fern is a fitting companion for the Boston fern, of which it is a sport This variety has much shorter fronds than the Boston fern. They are much wider, however, and their leaflets are subdivided in such a manner that each becomes a miniature frond. The effect is light and feathery and exceedingly graceful. This is a most excellent plant for a place at the sill, while the Boston variety is more effective if given a bracket half way up the window, from which point of vantage its long fronds can droop in such manner as to display their charms most effectually. All plant lovers have a desire to grow some member of the Adlantum branch of the fern family in the living room. Pew have succeeded in doing this, however, because of the delicacy of the ordinary varieties. But we have one now that will adapt itself ordinarily to the cultivation which prevails in the usual home. Thia is Crowcanum. I have given it a year's trial and it has proved satisfactory— as satisfactory as the old Boston fern. It is stronger, sturdier in habit than any other Adlantum I have ever Been and its foliage Is thicker and firmer. It grows to a height of about eighteen inches and has a corresponding spread of branches. Its foliage has all the grace that characterizes this division of the great fern family, and a well-grown specimen is a thing to be proud of. Give it a soil of loam, turfy matter or leaf mold and sand, equal parts. Let its drainage be good; water well and cover with something when you dost the room. All the plants mentioned above are non-flowering. Or, more strictly speaking, they are grown for their foliage only. Whatever flowers they have are so insignificant as to be unnoticeable. But there are flowering plants quite well adapted to culture in sunless windows. One of these is Primula obconica. Another is Primula Forbeslt Primula obconica has much longer flowers than the other variety and is therefore more showy, but Primula Forbesli is a moat charming little thing that win win Its way to the heart of every person who loves flowers. Its flowers are small, but there are a great many of them. This is the plant sold so extensively at holiday time under the nam* of baby primrose. Give i t and obconica as well, a light spongy soil and a good deal of water. Having a multitude of fine roots, they extract the moisture from the soil vary rapidly and the amount that would be sufficient for ordinary plants woold be entirely inadequate to supply their They will bloom constantly and with wonderful profaalon during the entire winter.

Experts Prove That Overheated Rooms Without Proper Ventilation Produce 9erloue Physiological Defects. Air is bad when it is overheated, when it contains an exceas of moisture, and when it is chemically contaminated. This is the conclusion of the New York state commission on ventilation as summarised by Prof. C. £1 A. Wlslow, chairman. The first Indictment against bad air shows that an increase in temperature beyond the normal seventy degrees produces serious derangement of the vaso-motor mechanism of the body, resulting in a rise of temperature, increased pulse, and a lowered blood pressure, with a corresponding decrease in efficiency, both physical and mental In addition to this, overheating conduces to an undesirable congestion of the mucous membranes of the nose, thus possibly paving the way for colds, sore throats, and attacks of various germ diseases. The work of the commission also proves that chemical accumulations in the air as a result of stagnation bring about a decreased appetite for food, which in'tarn must have an unfavorable effect on the entire body. In the commission's experiments, the people living in fresh air ate 4¼ to 13 per cent more than those living in stagnant air. "These experiments," says Professor Winslow, "indicate that fresh air is needed at all times and in all places. While we have changed our ideas as to what causes bad air, ventilation is hist as essential to remove heat produced by human bodies as it was once thought to be to remove the carbon dioxide produced by human lungs, and it is now proved also to be essential for carrying away chemical products which exert a measurable effect upon the appetite for food. People who live and work in overheated and unventilated rooms are reducing their vitality and rendering themselves an easy prey to all sorts of diseases, such as tuberculosis, pneumonia, grippe, etc." fitting Kind.

As the British forces under General Kitchener neared Khartum, a dervish spy was discovered in camp and taken to headquarters for examination. But neither bribes nor threats could elicit one word from the prisoner; he affected to be both deaf and dumb. Scarcely had be been put In a tent under guard, when another spy was led in who proved equally obdurate, so he was put with the first orie. Half an hour later, when the camp was settling down to rest, there was a fresh stir and hubbub and a third spy was brought in, who also wonld reveal nothing, and was finally placed In the tent with his fellows. Soon the guards outside heard a murmur of voices from within. The dumb spies had found their tongues, but It was Impossible to overhear their talk distinctly or to understand It An hour or more passed. Then the door of the tent was thrown open, and the third spy appeared and asked to be taken to headquarters. There he threw off his disguise and revealed—General Kitchener! He had discovered all he wanted to know. MEANS MUCK TO NAVAL MEM ,*" i"i Ability to Comnwnloe(U Thrown* Water One of Most Recent.Important Discoveries, Several American battleships and submarines are now equipped with R. A. Fessenden's submarine wireless apparatus. This sends messages more than thirty miles under water, and the inventor expects that with experience it will be possible so to improve* the apparatus as to make it send and. receive for several hundreds of miles. The apparatus starts a metal vibrating so rapidly that it* waves of sound through the Sound travels through wate times as rapidly as through air. In an article in the American Magesine, Cleveland Moffett quotes Professor FeBsenden as saying; "You see the importance of these oscillators in naval warfare, for a bat* tleshlp equipped with such instruments can talk to Its own submarines ^ \ v while they are miles away and subaVp^ merged and can actually direct their :- movements against an enemy's vessels." - : * ' * & .'%> 4V* Rubber, "You like to look after the passing girls so," grumbled hia wife, "that it's a pity nature didn't give-you eyes in the back of your head.""

Borne estimates of the discharge of the Yangtse-kiang river and of the amount of sediment it carries have recently been published by Prof. Konrad Keilhack of the Berlin School of Mines, who visited the river in September, 1918, when the stage of water was unusually high. From measurements of depth made at Wusung, Nanking, and Hankow, and estimates of width and velocity, this authority concludes that the discharge below Hankow (685 miles from the mouthj), amounts in time of fl^*i to 8,500,000 cubic feet per second. The annual mean is estimated at 1,750,000 cubic feet per second. Filtration measurements made at the mouth, near Wusung, taken in conjunction with the above figures for discharge Indicate an annual transport of sediment at the average rate of 37,600 pounds per second, or a total of 684,000,000 tons per annum.

The prim young weman from New Eisjland who was devoting herself to the education of the negro in a southern school told one of her small scholars to bring a bucket of water from the spring. "I ain't gwine fotch no water," he whined, rebeiliously. "Oh, Eph!" she protested, "you mustn't say that.

Nothing in the way of treatment did him any good, and he realized sadly that he could never be even a noncommissioned officer, because he could not give the simplest words of command without stuttering. He was a brave and efficient soldier, and always first in the firing line. At the battle of Marquis Redmond was Bhot in the mouth. The Mauser bullet jessed downward and came out at the nape of the neck. He was taken to the hospital, where he recovered rapidly, and all that could be seen of the wound was a little scar about his upper lip where the bullet entered. But the remarkable thing about the affair was when he left the hospital he was cured of his habit of stuttering. How It happened neither he nor the doctors can explain, but he was so Joyous over the fact that he blessed the bullet that brought him relief.

It is true that nature and a woman's work iias produced the grandest remedy for woman's Ills that the world has ever known. From the r o o t s a n d herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham, forty years ago, gave to womankind a remedy for their peculiar ills which has proved more efficacious than any other combination of drugs ever compounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is r e c o g n i s e d from coast to coast as the standard remedy for woman's ilia.

Th# struggle now going on between the resbe? sad the iron tire nrdmises to toe the liveliest contest of the Twentieth Century. The struggle l i a silent one and there are no war correspondents to write vivitf descriptions of the conflict hut the results are more farrearhlng to present and future fenerations than the war of Europe. T h e rubber tire has been maneuver lag for point of attack for several y e a n and has captured a few unimportant positions In traffic, but it has now pitched a decisive battle with Its Iron competitor by hurling a million "jitneys" at the street railways and the battle is racing from ocean to ocean. Upon the result of the straggle depends the future of the rubber tire. If it is compelled to retreat, its doom is sealed, but if it wins the battle it will revolutionize the transportation methods of this nation. If the rubber tire conquers the street traffic its next struggle is with the railroads of the country, and then the greatest battle between economic jforces ever fought out on the face S t h i s earth is on, for iron is the undisputed master in transportation, and is fortified behind billions of dollars, and millions of men.

Few people in viewing the hay of Ism Frandaco think of it as other than a magnificent landlocked harbor about which has grown the commercial metropolis of the Pacific coast of the United States. • Yet this harbor did not always exist, according to a report on the geology of the region published by the United States geological survey, for at one time through the depression now occupied by the bay ran a great river that drained the Sficramento and San Joaquin valleys. This river probably flowed between the Tiburon peninsula and Angel Island and then through the gorge of the Golden Gate, where at present the greatest depth of water is over 400 feet After the river valiey was formed the coast slowly sank, and the ocean entered through the Golden Gate, flooded the valley and formed the present bay. Thus the valley occupied by tbe bay is really not so very different from Santa Clara and Santa Bosa valleys, and should the Pacific coast sink a few hundred feet lower those fertile valleys would form great additions to the present ba^e Eighth.

The recent investigation of the United States Commission of Industrial Relations brought together the extremes of society and has gttea the public an opportunity to view the representatives of distinct clause, aide by side, and to study their views hi parallel columns. Capital and labor hare always been glaring at each other over gulfs of misunderstanding and if the Federal Industrial Commission attempts to bridge the chasm, it will render the public a distinct service. The farmer has been sitting on the fence watching capital and labor fight for many years and incidentally furnishing the sinews of war and it is ouite gratifying to find them talking with, instead of about, each other. When honest men smile and look into each other's souls, it always makes the world better and far more satisfactory to the farmer, who in the end, bears the burden of conflict, than resolutions, speeches % r pamphlets containing charges and counter* charges. The love for justice makes the whole world kin. Understanding U s a arbiter far more powerful than the mandates of government, for there is no authority quite so commanding as an honest conscience; there is no decree quite so binding as that of the Supreme Court of Common Sense and no sheriff can keep the peace quite so perfect as Understanding. We suppose the time win never come when capital, and labor will not be occasionally blinded by the lightning flashes of avarice or frightened by the thunder peals of discontent But .Understanding is a Prince of Peace that ever holds out the olive branch to men who want to do right A man's income is always a sacred thing for in it are the hope, ambition and opportunity of himself, and family, hut there is nothing in a human heart quite so divine aa Justice aad Wnderetanding is its handmaiden.

Keeping Up Advertising Publicity has recently been given to the success of a 81 Louis roofing concern, which in the hard times of last fall organized a $200,000 advertising campaign. As a result their bnsinees is 70 per cent better than it had been the year before. In a small way this can be duplicated in the experience of a great many retail business enterprises. It used to be the case, that when there was business depression, advertising fell off, and newspapers ran fewer pages or filled up more Bpace with plate matter. Observation of our exchanges is to the effect that they have run just as much advertising as ever through the slow business of our last year. This is because enterprising firms have realized that advertising is the mainspring of their business. When a manufacturing firm finds business fiat, it doss not turn off its salesmen. On the contrary it is apt to hire more salesmen, so as to cover the territory more thoroughly. Newspaper advertising is the retail merchant's salesman, and it should be kept working all the time.—Lansing Press. Around the World Swift county, Minnesota, has voted itself dry by three to one.

The French Prohibition party is gaining strength daily and the majority of the newspapers now contain anti-alcohol editorials.

The "Boosters" The Pinckney Business Meu's Association resurrected itself last Friday evening at a meeting held in the rooms over Murphy & Jackson's store and organized a "Booster" Club. It was decided to issue large circulars "boosting" for each merchant in Pinckney If each individual would aid in boosting the home town by shopping in Piiickney, the money thus placed wit home people woulcMn time yield generous profits to all, as every cent spent in Pinckney helps Pinckney people in general, not the merchants in particular. It's not alone your town, but you who can boost for Pinckney and make it the most progeesive town of its size in Michigan. From now on make it your business to put Pinckney on the map, so that your children and your children's children may be glad to call it "home." Monday evening a meeting of the "Booster" Club was held. At this meeting, Marion Reason was appointed to interview, personally, the Towar's Creamery Co. of Detroit, in regard to locating a creamery here. Farmers are now put to the inconvenience of drawing their milk to Howell and elsewhere. If a milk station was located in Pinckney, it would be of lasting benefit not only to the farmers, but to the community in general. Let each and every citizen keep boosting for the home town, and the time wont be very long when Pinckney will begin to improve, as have other towns under the genial "boosting" atmosphere.

Nine-tenths of the vegetables sold in the markets are too old; they are past the period of best flavor. This is especially true of peas and beans, both string and lima. Many a traveler re* turning from France and Italy has complained that the peas and beans in those countries are so superior to ours. As a matter of fact, we can and do grow vegetables equally good, but we pick them top late and cook them too long. A majority of farmers are more concerned about the size of their vegetables than about their flavor, and where a farmer or a merchant who knows tries to market his produce at the perfect stage he is apt to be criticized by the Ignorant for Belling small vegetables. Several years ago a farm was started on the farm-to-family-hamper idea. The owners of thia farm knew how things should be grown, and when they should be harvested. Their stock was of the best, and every vegetable was picked at the proper stage. Their hampers were a delight to connoisseurs; the vegetables were young, fresh and of a perfect flavor. But from a number of persons who never had tasted really young vegetables came back complaints. "The skins of the potatoes are so thin they are hard to peel." "The peas and beans are not as large as we can get In the market," etc. This was before the vegetables had been tasted; afterward there were no complaints. The point is obvious; but -it serves to show the difficulties in the way of procuring vegetables st their best We never will get them until housewives learn to demand them—to refuse the large, mealy peas and beans and accept only the young and succulent In preparing vegetables, the average cook boils them too long. As a matter of fact many vegetables are better steamed than boiled, as steaming preserves better their flavor; bat the difference Is hardly worth the extra trouble entailed. But the extra trouble due to watching the boiling vegetables and taking them out when they are cooked to perfection is well worth while. A majority of cooks let their vegetables boil from ten to twenty minutes longer than is necessary, while they prepare or serve other dishes. Such cooks should be taught that the flavor of boiled vegetables is destroyed by overcooking, just as surely aa is the flavor of meat o r other dishes. In brief, the cooking of vegetables Is as much an art as any other culinary branch. They cannot, as many appear to believe, be treated aa carelessly as a pot of plain boiling water. r)Clskft9*DL Cream Sponge Cake.

Mutton la generally considered the moat healthful meat, and la eaten by many, to the exclusion of any variety. Consequently great care should be exercised in the selection, and a little time ahoold be given-to the study of Quality. In buying mutton (or lamb) care should be taken to see that the fat ie clear, hard and white, aa mutton with soft or yellow fat Indicates too long a stay in cold storage. It might appear that a great Quantity of fat on mutton signifies waste; but the lean part la much jucier and more tender when this is the case, ao the wise' housewife makes purchases with this in view. The leg has the least fat in proportion to weight Next comes the shoulder. The color of lean mutton Is a deep red. Lamb la good to eat when one year old and is much more digestible than other immature meat, such as Teal or young pork. The wise housewife knows the value of nutrition, so she win hesitate about buying lamb merely because it is in market, a* it Is. generally expensive. The meat of spring lamb should be a clear pink, with plenty of pure white fat.

"From this," writes the Paris correspondent of the Lancet, "a practical inference may be drawn concerning salads. After washing the salad as usual, detaching each leaf, it should be put into water acidulated with ten grams of vinegar to the liter and remain Immersed in this liquid for about an hour and a quarter. All vegetables ordinarily eaten uncooked may be subjected without any Inconvenience to the same process." A liter is equivalent to about a quart and ten grams are equivalent to about a third of an ounce.

Work is hard enough without riding to it on a bicycle. The Embusquea. The French papers have been busy of late with the case of the Membusque," which is the name given to the man who chooses a safe Job in the army. An incident seen last night on the fringe of Soho suggests that It is also applied to those who do not choose the army at all A couple of French soldiers over here on leave (they were in joyous mood), coming down a side street, passed the kitchens of a well-known French restaurant They were attracted by the sight of the cooks in the kitchens and studied them attentively through the grating. Then they began to taunt them with shouts of "Embusque!" The harmless necessary French cooks below, startled In this rough way in their "ambush," were furious. There was sn angry clattering of pots and pans and an elaborate slanging match between the cooks and the soldiers. The language was rich and varied, and In the storm the sharp word "embusque" sounded like a bitter refrain. —Manchester Guardian. Some Wind.

By Peter Bedford. Much baa been said and more written about the evils of watered stock in big business concerns and the farmers of this nation believe that every dollar written into the life of any business organization, should be able to say "I know that my Redeemer liveth," but farming is the biggest buainesa on earth, and there is more water in its financial transaction than that of any other Industry. There Is as much water in a farmer's note drawing eight or ten per cent interest when other lines of Industry secure money for four or five per cent per annum, as there is in a business paying a reasonable compensation upon the face value of securities representing an investment of only fifty cents on the dollar. The only difference is, the water is In the interest rate in one instance and In the securities in the other. The promoter ofttimes takes chances and his success is contingent upon the development of the property involved but the usurer, as a rule, takes no chances and his success cripples the property Involved. There may be Industries that cry louder but none that suffer more severely from financial immorality in both law and custom than that of agriculture. The farmers of America today are paying $200,000,000 per annum in usury on real estate and chattel loans, and this interest capitalized at five per cent, represents $4,000,000,- 000 of fictitious values which the farmer Is paying interest on. This sum of money is almost equal to the annual value of crops produced in the United ' States. The earning power of the fanner's 1 note based upon his interest rate very nearly divides Hkes the earth's surface— three-fourths water and onefourth land. The largest body of wa- : ter that floats upon the financial nerd- ' laphere now rests upon the farms and its waves are dashing and its billows are rolling against seven million homes threatening ruin and disaster to the prosperity of the nation. Will our public servants who understand how to drain the liquid off industrial properties turn-the faucet and let the water off.the. farms? j Squaring tho CiroU, Porpotual Motion and Defying Gravitation. The circle has never been exactly squared. They have been trying during 0,000 years and have not jet found the length of tho side of a square equal in area to any given ciKto." The reason of this is because the area of a circle has never been found, and this because tbe ratio of the diameter to the circumference la yet unknown. The first eleven figures of the ratio, 3.1415ttUCoo&, are a mere beginning. They have been computed out to 885 figures without the decimal coming to an end—that is, the figures representing the length of the circumference and of the diameter are known to be Incommensurable, or Impossible to ezprees by two whole numbers. '; The enormous labor of carrying out! this dividing of 635 integers could have AS well been saved, because the higher matheniatica has proved that the ratio cannot be espreased in a finite number of terms.

Looting the scores of homes was prevented only by the deputizing of 60 citizens. They patrolled the street all night searching for thieves who had entered two residences. A large part of the business section of Redford has been wiped out Deputy sheriffs and Detroit police believe the fire may have been caused by tramps camping in the yards of the Amos Otis Lumber Co., where flames were discovered by Mrs. F. C. Warner, wife of the pastor of the First Methodist church. Others think the fire may have been started by thieves who attempted to loot the village. The flames were fanned by a stiff wind which swept them from the lumber yard to the business block on the north side of Grand River avenue. Appeals for apparatus were made to Detroit and Farmington as soon as it was apparent the efforts of the bucket brigade were futile. At 12:30 Engine Co. No. 35, Mt.

The present mileage is 4,097. in ett of the settled districts there is amptO' railway privileges. The rates are governed by a Dominion Railway Commie^ sion, and in the exercise of their powers they not only control the rates, giving fair equality to both railway and shipper, but form a court to hear, complaints of any who may desire to. lodge the same. In the matter of education no better Instance of the advancement that la taking place can be given than that found in the information to hand that attendance at the University df Alberta has increased 1,000 per cent in five years, and is now thoroughly representative of all settled portions of the Province. The students in attendance are from sixty-one distinct districts, • Then as to the prosperity which follows residence in Western Canada, J. E. Edward of Blackie, Alta-, gives splendid testimony. He writes, "In the spring of 1907 I first cams to this - locality from the State of Iowa, Cass County, and located on a quarter section of land near Blackie. Since coming here I have been engaged in mixed farming, which I have found to be more profitable than where I formerly lived. On coming here my worldly holdings were small besides having a family, to care for. I now own three quarter sections, sixty head of cattle, twenty head of horses and forty head of hogs, without encumbrance. "During the seven years I have not had a crop fail. My best crop of oats averaged ninety bushels per acre, with a general yield of thirty-five bushels and upward. My best wheat crop averaged forty-three bushels per acre. When I have had smaller yields per acre I have found that ft has been due to Improper cultivation. The winters here, although at times the weather is cold, I find as a whole are very agreeable.' The summers are warm, but not sultry. The summer nights are cool and one is always assured of a good night's rest. My health has been much better, as I do not suffer from catarrh since coming here. I have no land for sale, and am not wishing to make any change,, but would be pleased to answer any en qulries concerning this locality."—Advertisement. Celluloid Watch Crystals.

And Muriel, a pretty figure in a loweut gown of turquoise chiffon, standing behind her father, smiled secretly at me. I smiled at her in return, but it was a strange smile, I fear, for with the knowledge of that additional mystery within me—the mystery of the woman lying unconscious or perhaps dead, up in the wood—held me stupefled. I had suspected Lelthcourt because of his constant trysts at that spot, but I had at least proved that my suspicions were entirely without foundation. He could not have gone home and dressed in the time, for I had taken the nearest route to the castle while the fugitive would be compelled to make a wide detour. I only remained a few minutes, then went forth into the darkness again, utterly undecided how to act. My first Impulse waa to return to the woman's aid, for she might not be dead after aU. And yet when I recollected that hoarse cry that rang out in the darkneat, I knew too well that she had been struck fatally. It was this latter conviction that prevented me from turning back to the wood. You .will perhaps blame me, but the fact is I feared that If I went there suspicion might fall upon me, now that the real culprit had so ingeniously escaped. Whether or not I acted rightly in remaining away from the place, I leave it to you to judge in the light of the amazing truth which afterwards transpired I decided to walk straight back to my uncle's, and dinner was over before I had had my tub and dressed. Next day the body would surely be found; than the whole countryside would be filled with horror and surprise. Watft possible that Lelthcourt, Oat calm, well-groomed, distinguished looking naa, held any «t*wledge of the ghat* Sfcpf« r>~* VT*" Wi*: *fve m< tt&*u: r, T'. ' :;.-i. • ' : ' • . " - - ly truth?

"Call Holden. I'd like to know ail he's heard," I said. And presently, when the gardener emerged from the grapehouse, I sought of him all the particulars he had gathered. "I don't know very much, sir," was the man's reply. "I went into the Inn for a glass of peer at eleven, as 1 always do, and heard them talking about it A young man was murdered last night op in Rannoch wood." "The body was that of a man?" I asked, trying to conceal my utter bewilderment "Yes—about thirty, <hey say* The police have taken him to the mortuary at Dumfries, and the'detectives are up there now looking at the spot, they say." A man! And yet the body I found was that of a woman—that I could swear. After lunch I took the dogcart and drove alone into Dumfries. The police constable on duty at the town mortuary took me up a narrow alley, unlocked a door, and I found myself in the cold, gloomy chamber of death. From a small dingy window above the light fell upon an object lying upon a large slab of gray stone and covered with a soiled sheet The policeman lifted the end of the sheet, revealing to me a white, hardset face, with closed eyes and dropped jaw. I started back as my eyes fell upon the dead countenance. I was entirely unprepared for such a revelation. The truth staggered me. The victim was the man who had acted as my friend—the Italian waiter, Olinto. I advanced and peered into the thin inanimate features, scarce able to realize the actual fact But my eyes had not deceived me. Though death distorts the facial expression of every man, I had no difficulty in identifying him. "You recognise him, sir?" remarked the officer. "Who is he? Our people are very anxious to know, for up to the present moment they haven't succeeded in establishing his Identity. "I will see your inspector," I answered with as much calmness as I could muster. "Where has the poor fellow been wounded?" "Through the heart," responded the constable, as turning the sheet farther down he showed me the small knife wound which had penetrated the victim's jacket and vest full in the chest "This is the weapon " he added, taking from a shelf close by a long, thin poniard with an ivory handle, which he handed to me. In an instant I recognised what It was, and how deadly. It was an old Florentine miaertcordia, with a hilt of yellow ivory, the most deadly and fatal of all the daggers of the middle ages. It was still bloodstained, but as I took the deadly thing in my hand I saw that its blade was beautifuily,damaseened, a most elegant specimen of s medieval arm. Yet surely none but an Italian would use such a weapon, or would aim so truly .as to penetrate the heart And yet the person struck down was a woman and not a man! I looked again for the last time upon the dead face of the man who had served me so well, and yet who had enticed me so nearly to my death. In the latter incident there was a deep mystery. He had relented at the last moment. Jest in time to save me from my secret enemies. Could it he that my enemies were his? Had he fallen a victim by the same hand that had attempted so ingeniously to kfll me? if it were known that 1 have identified him aU chance of getting at the truth will at once vanish/' I answered. "I have come here to te& you in strictest confidence who the poor fellow really is." "Then you know something of the affalrr he said, with a strong Highland accent "I know nothing," I declared. "Nothing except his name." "H'm. And you say he's a foreigner —*n Italian—eh r "He was in my service in Leghorn for several years, and on leaving me he came to London and obtained an engagement as waiter in a restaurant His father lived in Leghorn; he was doorkeeper at the prefecture." "But why was he here in Scotland V "How can I tell?" "You know something of the affair. I mean that you suspect somebody, or you would have no objection to giving evidence at the inquiry." ~"I have no suspicions. To me the affair Is just as much of an enigma as to you," I hastened at once to explain. "My only fear is that if the assassin knew that I had identified him he would take care not to betray himself." "You therefore think he will betray himself?" "I hope so." "By the 'fact that the man was attacked with an Italian stiletto, it would seem that his assailant was a fellowcountryman," suggested the detective. "The evidence certainly points to that" I replied. "Someone who waited for him on the edge of that wood and stepped out and killed him—that's evident," he said, "and my belief is that it was an Italian. There were two foreigners who slept at a common lodging house two nights ago and went on tramp towards Glasgow. We have telegraphed after them and hope we shall find them. Scotsmen or Englishmen never use a knife of that pattern." "I know not whom to suspect," I declared. "It is a mystery why the man who was once my faithful servant tarty up to Rannoch wood?

You seem to be apprehensive of your own safety. Why?" "One never knows whom one offends when living in Italy," I laughed, as lightly as I could, endeavoring to allay his suspicion. "He may have fallen beneath the assassin's knife by giving a small and possibly Innocent offense to somebody. Italian methods are not English, you know." "By Jove, sir, and I'm jolly glad they're not!"'he said. "I shouldn't think a police officer's life is a very safe one among all those secret murder societies I've read about" "Ah! what you read about them Is often very much exaggerated," I assured him. "It is the vendetta which is such a stain upon the character of the modern Italian; and depend upon it, this affair in Rannoeh wood 1B the outcome of some revenge or other— probably over a love affair." "But you will assist us, sir?" he urged. "You know the Italian language, which will be of great advantage; besides, the victim was your servant." "Be discreet" I said. "And in return I will do my very utmost to assist you In hunting down the assassin." And thus we made our attempt Half an hour after I was driving in the dogcart through the pouring rain up the hill out of gray old Dumfries to my uncle's house. As I descended from the cart and gave it over to a groom, old Davis, the butler, came forward, saying in a low voice: "There's Miss Lelthcourt waiting to see you, Mr. Gordon. -She's in the morning room, and been there an hour. She asked me not to tell anyone else she's here, sir." I walked across the big hall and along the corridor to the room the old man had indicated. And as I opened the door and Muriel Lelthcourt in plain black rose to meet me, I plainly saw from her white, haggard countenance that something had happened—that she had been forced by circumstances to come to me in strictest confidence. Was she, I wondered, about to reveal to me the truth? Revealing to Me a White, Hard, Set Paee With Closed Eyes and Dropped Jaw. should be enticed to that wood and stabbed to the heart" "There is no one In the vicinity who knew him?" "Not to my knowledge." "We might obtain his address in London through his father in Leghorn," suggested the officer. "I will write- today if yon so desire," I said readily. "Indeed, I will get my friend the British consul to go round and see the old man and telegraph the address if he obtains it" "Capital!" he declared. "If you will do us this favor we shall be greatly indebted to you.

We sat t o r t / Che CHAPTER VI. The Gathering of the Clouds. "Mr. Gregg," exclaimed the girl with agitation, as she put forth her blackgloved hand, "I—I suppose you know —you've heard all about the discovery today at the wood? I need not tell you anything about it" "Yes, Miss Lelthcourt, I only wish you would tell me about it," 1 said gravely, inviting her to a chair and seating myself. Who is the man?" "Ah! that we don't know," she replied, pale-faced and anxious. "I wanted to see you alone—that's the reason I am here. They must not know at home that I've been over here." "Why, is there any service I can render you?" "Yes. A very great one," she responded with quick eagerness, "I— well—the fact Is, I have summoned courage to come to you and beg of you to help me. I am In great distress— and I have not a single friend whom I can trust—in whom I can confide." Her lips moved nervously, but no sound came from them, so agitated was she, so eager to tell me something; and yet at the same time reluctant to take me into her confidence. "It concerns the terrible discovery made up in Rannoch wood," she said in a hoarse, nervous voice at last "That unknown man was murdered— stabbed to the heart I have suspicions." "Of the murdered man's identity?" "No. Of the assassin. I want you to help me, if you will." "Most certainly," I responded. "But if yon believe you know the assassin you probably know something of the victim r -Only that he looked like a foreigner." "Then you have seen him?" I exclaimed, much surprised. My remark caused her to hold her breath for an instant Then she answered, rather lamely, it seemed to me: •Vrom his features and complexion I guessed him to be sn Italian. I saw htm after the keepers had found him." •besides," she went on, "the stiletto was evidently an Italian one, which would almost make It appear that a foreigner was the assassin." "Is that your own suspicion?" "No." "Why?" 8hs hesitated a moment then In a voice she said: I have already seen that knife in another person's "Than what Is your theory tag the a f a i r r liswdred. -It sessss osrtata that the poor ft* to the weed ay Sfe^*iH# *>.«. •v2£*->":-2MH . ***••*j*~>+ ynfcjirW • •jess*r~~' "And what's that?- I as^ " ~* "Why, about three yards fromjmb pool of blood where the unfortunate foreigner was found is another small pool of blood where the grass and ferns around are all crushed down as though there bad been a struggle there." "There may have been a struggle at that spot, and the man may have staggered some distance before he feU dead." "Not if he had been struck in the heart, as r they say. He would tall, would he'not?" she suggested. "No. The police seem very dense, and this plain fact has not yet occurred to them. Their theory is the same as what you suggest but my own is something quite different, Mr. Gregg- l believe that a second person also fell a victim," she added in a low, distinct tone. I gazed at her open-mouthed. Did she, I wondered, know the actual truth? Was she aware that the woman who had fallen there had disappeared? "A second person!" I echoed, as though in surprise. "Then do you believe that a double murder was committed?" "I draw my conclusion from the fact that the young man, on being struck in the heart, could not have gone such a distance as that which separates the one mark from the other." "But he might have been slightly wounded—on the hand, or in the face^— at first, and then at the spot where he was found struck fatally," I suggested. She shook her head dubiously, but made no reply to my argument. Her confidence in her own surmises made it quite apparent that by some unknown means she was aware of the second victim. Indeed, a few moments later she said to me: "It is for this reason, Mr. Gregg, that I have sought you in confidence. Nobody must know that I have come here to you, or they would suspect; and If suspicion fell upon me it would bring upon me a fate worse than death. Remember, therefore, that my future is entirely in your hands." "I don't quite understand," I said, rising and standing before her in the fading twilight, while the rain drove upon the old diamond window panes. "But I can only assure you that whatever confidence you repose in me, I shall never abuse, Miss Lelthcourt" "I know, I know!" she said quickly. "I trust you in this matter implicitly. I have come to you for many reasons, chief of them being that if a second victim has fallen beneath the hand of the assasln, it is, I know, a woman." "A woman! Whom?" "At present I cannot tell you. I must first establish the facts. If this woman were really stricken down, then her body lies concealed somewhere In the vicinity. We must find it and bring home the crime to the guilty one." "But If we succeed in finding i t could we place our hand upon the assassin?" I asked, looking straight at her. "If we find i t the crime would then tell its own tale—it would convict the person in whose hand I have seen that fatal weapon," was her clear, bold answer. "Then you wish me to assist you In this search, Miss Lelthcourt? My search may bring suspicion upon me. It will be difficult to examine the whole wood without arousing the curiosity of somebody—the keeper or the police." "I have already thought of that." she said. "I will pretend tomorrow to lose this watch bracelet in the wood," and she held up her slim wrist to show me the little enameled watch set in her bracelet "Then you and I will search for it diligently, and the polios will never suspect the real reason of our investigation. Tomorrow I shall write to you telling Von about my loss, and you will come over to Rannoch and offer to help me." I was silent for a moment "Is Mr. Woodroffe back at the castle? I heard he was to return today." 1 "No. I had a letter from him from Bordeaux a week ago. He Is still on the continent I believe* Indeed, he has gone to Russin, where he sometimes has business." "I asked you the ojiottlon. Miss Muriel, because I thbught tt Mr. Woodroffe were here he might object to our searching to oosnpaay.M 1 explained, smiling.

Taia country is suffering mora from tainted politics than iron any other malady at the pretest time. There 1« scarcely a campaign speech nude, a platform demand written or s measure enacted into law that doee not carry the taint *f personal sain of tome politician or political faction thereof. There Is more "bine sky" Is csav saiga promises of many politicians running for office than was aver eon* tained la the prospectuses of the boldest promoters of chimerical business schemes. There are more secret combinations formed by politicians in the name of "My Country" than were ever formed under any and all other aliases. There are more political rebates hidden in the phrase "Be it enacted" than were ever concealed under any and all other disguises. The inordinate thirst for political power and unrestrained passion for mastery has caused more distress in this nation than the greed for gold, and It ought to be regulated by law. No business combination ever pursued their competitors as relentlessly or visited more heartless cruelty upon their customers than a political party that seeks to make junk of an industry, or cripple a business for party success, through tariff measures, political supervision and ofttimes destructive legislation. Many political platforms are as alluring to the voter as the story of the rainbow with its pot of gold and their consummation about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the first law in politics. There are many men In office today who, if they could not shake plums off the tree of American liberty or cut a melon taken from Uncle Sam's commissary, would have less desire to serve the public. The country Is surfeiting with patriots, who will bare their breast to .bullets in defense of their country, but there are few men in public life who will bare their breast to voters or run the gauntlet of party disfavor in defense of agriculture or industry. No representative of the people, who will permit personal prejudice to dethrone justice, party success to disfranchise reason or the rancor of a political campaign to Influence judgment can render capable service. The preservation of our prosperity depends upon wisdom, courage and honesty to government, and the American voter should seek these attributes as implicitly as the Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem and they will often be found to rest over the stable; the plow or the staff of the Shepherd. The surest cure for tainted politics and machine rule is fresh air and sunshine and these important elements are most abundant upon the farm, and when farmers, bankers and merchants are elected to membership in legislative bodies, much of the trouble in government will disappear.

WORK WITH THE FLOWERS 4 M ..J I ^, 2 > ' rr *5*V By JOSEPHINE DE MARR. Do not neglecV th4 winter garden, even though thV plants are at their /ttest Turn the plants once a week; Stir the surface soil; wash the pota With" strong soapsuds; give plenty of fresh air daily; shower the plants -once a week; watch for pests; see that the warm sunshtne does not •corch your plants on warm afternoons. Plants that are Intended for bedding should be shifted as they fill their pots with roots, and give plenty of sunshine and air. Otherwise they will be leggy and weak. If you wish to get specimen carinas and dahlias, start a few in the house early. Remove roots, stalks, and unnecessary fiber and cut into single eyes. Then pot In four-inch pots In rich soil; shift when the pots fill with roots. The canna, like corn, needs moisture and heat to develop properly. Let the hedge take the place of the tenet where possible about the house grounds. If the fence is imperative, let it be hidden by a drapery of vines, Honeysuckle is the best permanent Tine. California privet leads the hedge plants in popularity; then comes barberry, Japanese Quince, althea, buckthorn and some varieties of roses. For utility the osage. A flower friend says she rid her lemon tree of scale by applying a strong lather of soap suds with a stiff brush to both sides of the leaves, stems and trunks. This was allowed to remain for half a day and then washed off with clear water. The scale was then easy to brush off. if you got * gloxinia bulb this spring, when it blooms save the seeds, and next spring experiment growing these gorgeous bloomers. ' Fill a well* drained, shallow pot or box with fine, light soil; even It carefully and scattar the seeds on it Press the seeds into the soli with a flat block of wood Put a pane of glass on the pot and water from the bottom. They will bloom the first year, hot the second year will greatly improve them. Don't transplant into the garden any sort of tender plant, or hardy one that has been tenderly coddled, until-Jack Frost is gone. Don't forget that rotation in the lower bends and borders is ss neces- M in the fields and gardens. 8nen hardy flowers ss pansies, for- >ts snd phlox, and the like, hare been grown in a cold frame hardened, may be planted out before tender or hot house Go over the lawn snd if you find rafcs It out Cut weir below os? dandelions and plan* le, top-dress the lawn or thoroughly rotten •p-^5> ^ its youth, plant woodbine at its basv, and in a very few years the tree will be covered with foliage and have waving banners more beautiful than in its prime of life. Dig deeply and thoroughly if early crops of flowers or vegetables are wanted. No matter what the texture of the soil, light or heavy, it is always improved by spading deeply. When planting trees in clay or other heavy soils not well drained, follow this method: Dig holes 3 feet wide and 20 inches deep; place in them 8 or 10 inches of drainage, rocks, bricks or cinders well packed. Upon this put 3 or 4 Inches of sod, grass side down, then plant the tree as usual Early In April is the time to trim the early roses; that is, if the winter's cold has not cut down the stalks so that further pruning is necessary. Cut out all the dead wood and weak shoots. Keep the center of the plant open. Leave four to six eyes on each shoot The generation of seed requires three essentials; heat moisture and air. Therefore it is folly to put seeds into the ground until It has been1 warmed by th*e sun. Corn planting time is about the proper time for the majority of seeds. If you want to get some satisfaction out of the cosmos, sow it in March and push it along as fast as you can. It does not transplant easily, therefore grow it In pots. Shift it along until it is growing in a nine-inch pot.Then sink the pot in the order and from the time the plants are six inches high until the end of July the shoots should be pinched out This will keep the plants low and stocky. Long after severe frosts your cosmos will be giving you beautiful flowers for the window. r*0O**m CURLEW BUG" IS A WIDESPREAD PEST "Curlew Bug."

Mrs. Ayre-8haft~MTbe people in the next apartment are having a lovely time deciding on names for their new twins." MT. Ajre-8haft—"Tell them I suggested Hngh and Cry."—Judge. Rotation or alternation of cropB is a simple and efficient method of getting ride of the "curiew bug," a widespread pest In corn and rice fields. "Don't plant corn after corn or rice, or rice after corn" is a useful maxim to remember in localities infested by the bug. The curlew bug, which is one of the so-called "Snout Beetles" or curculios, about half an Inch long, is particularly fond of swamps and. marshes where it feeds on large-stemmed grasses and sedges. Of cultivated crops, corn and rice most closely resemble its natural food and in consequence the bug is a menace to these crops in almost every state in the South and in large sections of the middle West and Southwest as well. It cannot live on the small grains or on such plants as cotton or cowpeas. In consequence if infested fields are planted to oats, rye, barley, cotton or cowpeas, the curlew bug disappears at once. In practice, cotton, cowpeas, or winter oats will probably be the best crops to use for this purpose in the South. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, southern Wisconsin and Arkansas, oats, rye, barley or cowpeas. After a year of one of these crops, the field can be planted again to corn. If the pest returns, a similar alternation should be resorted to once more. The curlew bug will remain in an infested cornfield throughout the winter and, if the field is planted to corn again, come out In the spring to feed upon the young corn plants. By means qt Its long snout at the end of which are situated the mouth and jaws, the beetle punctures the stem of the plant and thus either secures Its food or deposits Its eggs. Usually the puncture is made a little below the surface of the ground and extends into the crown of the plant. If the puncture is made just above the root the plant will throw up a number of "tillers'* and "suckers," while the main stem itself will be without ears and stalky in appearance. In thiB respect the work of the curlew bug produces somewhat the same effect as that of the Hessian fly on a young wheat plant in the fall. If the puncture is made higher up on the stem, food is obtained from the folded leaves above the crown. When these leaves finally push forth, the effect of the puncture made by the beetle's snout is revealed by rows of holes across the leaves. Frequently there will also be a distorted growth on the stem. While the damage done by the beetles in feeding or laying their eggB is in many cases doubtless severe—if the corn plants are very young at the time of attack they are probably destroyed in this way—generally speak- TEACHING CALVES TO DRINK Little Fellows Can Easily Be Taught to Help Themselves by Giving Warm Milk In PaH.

The grubs of this insect apparently can live without difficulty for a considerable length of time in the stems of plants that are completely covered by water. With these insects in full possession of a field, there does not appear to be an:' thoroughly practical and effective measure for preventing or overcoming thsir ravages, which frequently result In a total loss of the crop. While throwing up the soil or hilling up the young plants with the cultivator might prevent the beetles themselves from puncturing the stems low enough down to cause the plants to sucker or become distorted, this is by no means assured. Helps for Peach Growths to Control Insect Pests. After a grower has pruned intelligently, tilled and fertilized his orchard well, and irrigated it if that has been required, the orchard may be short lived and the crops financial failures if be neglects to give proper attention to the control of the insects and diseases which habitually occur in his region. While it is true that there are some rather serious peach parasites which are regional in their occurrence and some of those which are widely disseminated remain unknown thus far In certain districts, it is likewise true that a considerable number of both insect pests and fungous diseases are to be found pretty nearly everywhere In the country in which peaches are grown. Every fruit grower should be in close touch with the agricultural experiment station in his state, so that he can refer emergency matters there without delay. Not infrequently, the securing of information regarding the control of some insect pest that has become suddenly threatening or concerning the most effective means of checking the spread of a disease hitherto unknown results in saving what would otherwise be a serious loss. Inquiries relating to any phase of fruit growing may also be referred at an* time to the United States department of agriculture, where without cost through the department's pathological, entomological, and other experts, as full information relative to the problems as can be given may be secured. The department's farmers* bulletin <No. 440) entitled, "Spraying Peaches for the Control of Brown Rot, Scab, aid CurcuUo," will be sent to anyone requesting ft. So also will farmers' bulletin (No. 632) entitled "Growing Peaches," which treats in detail of pruning, .renewal of tope, thinning, interplanted crops, and spe dal practices.

A tale may be found in one of Lord Essex's letters with regard to a* new dress belonging to one of her maids of honor, over the possession of which the owner had been rash enough to exhibit some elation. The young lady, It seems, was several inches taller than her majesty, hardly perhaps quite a nice or loyal thing to be. Having desired that the dress should be made orer to her custody, the queen.

In borne parts of southern India the natives have a custom of marriage between cousins which hi a result of a strange compromise between two opposite rules of succession. The natives are Dravidians, who have come uoder Brahmanical influence. Among the Dravfiltans the mother was the head of the family and all descent and inheritance came through her. The Brahmaj4cal* rule of succession la through the father. According to F. J. Richards, writing the jpBfTlteSaF S2g£854£j ;e Deing unwilling to give up its traditional custom, saw the advantage of insuring to children the benefit of the natural desire of the father—the worker and provider—to provide for his offspring. Therefore they adopted the custom of a man marrying the daughter of his mother's brother, of his father's sister or of his own sister. In this way a community in which all property is inherited through the mother conforms to the patrilinear system and so keeps the property in the family, this, according to Mr. Richards, being the economical reason for the strange custom. INVISIBLE WRITING. Playing House. Little Susie—Lefs play housekeeping. You be the papa and 1*11 be the mamma. Little Harold—Aw, what'a the use?

Invisible ink was a favorite precaution of sentimental youth—usually, of course, a quite unnecessary precaution. Just now, perhaps, if a letter reads aa if it hud something between the line*, it la u reasonable precaution to give it a good toasting before the fire and see If anything comes out The twq simplest and handiest invisible inks are milk and water. If you write your letter with a clean pen In milk it will dry off quite Invisibly. But the writing will show up In a faint brown when It is toasted at the fire. If you write in water, the way to make the writing visible Is to sprinkle the •beet with fine coal dust or powdered charcoal. There are, besides, various chemical Invisible inks. A week solution of cobalt used as ink remains invisible until the paper is heated, when it shows up red. The red can be changed to green by steaming it or .breathing on it. A solution of salts of lead or bismuth makes an invisible ink which shows up black when treated with sulphureted hydrogen. Another recipe is to write in a weak solution of tannic add. When dipped in a bath of a persalt of Iron the writing comes out black.— Manchester Guardian.

KAISER MAY DRAFT REPLY important Paragraphs in 8econd Communication Oti Loaa of AVierl- In Sinking of llfrti tenia. Berlin—President Wilson's tecond note on the sinking of the Lusltanla baa been received here with a friendly aplrit It is accepted that Emperor William himself will have much to do with the framing of the German reply. Though there Is no confirmation from official soureea, the fact that the fall text of the American rejoinder waa rushed to the emperor at all possible speed is taken to mean that be Intends to play a very Important in. the drafting pt Germany's anofflclal viewpoint probably can R $ectly appraised only after con- ^«a of the imperial chancellor, 1 - / m m Betbmann-Holleweg; the for- ,4 secretary, Herr von Jagow, and representatives of the army and admiralty, the naval and general staff. The emperor, it is believed, will speak the final word. The answer will certainly not be drafted and the lines of the German policy probably will not be definitely decided upon, before Dr. Meyer-Gerhard, Ambassador Bernstorff's special envoy from Washington, has arrived and made his report. Both the Lokal Anzelger and the Vosaische Zeitung hall the second American note as opening the way for farther negotiations between Germany and the United States, which both Kofess to believe will straighten out e situation. The important paragraph in the Am* arican note which relate to the Lusitaaia follow: "Tour excellency's note in discussing the loss of American lives resulting from the sinking of the steamship tiosltanla, adverts at some length to certain information which the imperial "German governmeat has received with regard to the character and outfit of that vessel, and your excellency expresses the fear that this information may not have bjsen brought to the attention of the government of flag to their death in circumstances unparalleled in modern warfare. "The government of the United States is contending for something much greater than mere rights of property or privileges of commerce. It is contending for nothing less high and sacred than the rights of humanity which every government honors itself in respecting and which no gov* ernment Is Justified in resigning on behalf of those under Its care and authority. "Only her actual resistance to capture or refusal to stop when ordered to do so for the purpose of visit would have afforded the commander of the submarine any justification for so much as putting the lives of those on board the ship In jeopardy. "This principle the government of the United States understands the explicit instructions issued on August 3, 1914, by the imperial German admiralty to its commander at sea to have recognized and embodied, as do the naval codes of all other nations, and upon it every traveler and seaman had a right to depend. It is upon this principle of humanity as well as upon law founded upon this principle that the United States must stand." Would Act As Peacemaker. "The government of the United States is happy to observe that your excellency's note closes with the intimation that the imperial German government is willing, nom as before, to accept the good offices of the United States in an attempt to come to an understanding with the government of Great Britain by which the character and conditions of the war upon the sea may be changed. The government of the United States would consider it a privilege thus to serve its friends and the world. It stands ready at any time to convey to either government any intimation or suggestion the other may be willing to have it convey and cordially invites the imperial German government to make use of its services in this way at its convenience. The whole world is concerned in anything that may bring about even a partial accommodation of Interests to in any way mitigate the terrors of the present distressing conflict." Position On War Zone Repeated. "The government of the United States cannot admit that the proclamation of a war zone from which neutral ships have been warned to keep away may be made to operate as in any degree an abbreviation of the rights either of American shipmasters or of American citizens bound on lawful errands as passengers on merchant ships of belligerent nationality. It does not understand the imperial German government to question those rights. It understands it, also, to accept as established beyond question the principle that the lives of non-combatants cannot lawfully or rightfull be put in Jeopardy by the capture or destruction of an unresisting merchantman, and to recognize the obligation to take sufficient precaution to ascertain whether a suspectedjaerchantman is In fact of belligerent nationality or is in fact carrying contraband of war under a neutral TREATIES WITH MANY CHANGED RELATIONS W I T H TWENTY-ONE NATIONS ALTERED BY SEAMAN'S LAW.

Fortunately these are matters concerning which the government of the United States is in a position to give the imperial German government officials information. American Law Was Observed. "Of the facts alleged in your excellency's note, if true, the government of the United States would have been bound to take official cognisance in performing its recognized duty as a neutral power and in enforcing its national laws. It was its duty to see to it that the Lusltanla-was not armed for offensive action, that she was not serving as a transport, that she did not carry a cargo prohibited by. the statutes of the United States and that If in fact, she was a naval vessel of Great Britain, she should not receive clearance as a merchantman, and it performed that duty and enforced its statutes with scrupulous vlligance through its regularly constituted officials. It is able therefore, to assure the Imperial German government that tt •as been misinformed.

At the election, Grand Prelate Rev. EL Itontanns, of Saginaw, and Grand Captain of Guard John Fry, of Detroit, were re-elected. L. G.

His refaaal to ten what a young boy told him hi conference led to the charges being filed by District Attorney Rash nod Jadge If Provisions Of Law Are Not Acceptable to Foreign Governments Entirely New Treaties Must fie Made. Washington—Twenty-one of the principal nations of the world have been notified by the United States that it intends to terminate provisions of existing treaties with those countries which are in conflict with the seamen's act passed by the last congress. It was learned Friday that this notice was given as required by the law through the American embassies and legations, just within the prescribed limit of 90 days from March 4, last, when the act was approved. It remains to be seen whether the nations interested will consent to the excision of certain articles to meet the provisions of the seamen's act. If they will not consent to this then the state department Is under obligation to cancel all of the treaties. Such a proceeding would result in destroying provisions between the United States and all these nations for the settlement of estates, the transfer of property, the exercise ot consular functions, diplomatic Immunities, customs and port and lighthouse dues, and a hundred other subjects which have formed the basis of treaty regulations and stipulations between civilized powers. Then it would become necessary for the state department immediately to begin negotiations for new treaties to prevent the infliction of serious injury upon the business and diplomatic relations of the United States. Objection already has been made to the seamen's act by Spain, Italy, Austra-Hurgary, "the Netherlands, and Great Britain and it is known that other European governments are prepared to adopt a similar course. Generally speaking, these objections are based upon the provisions of the act which permit a foreign sailor in an American port to claim half his wages at pleasure; to -the sections prohibiting the advance of wages to sailors and limiting the allotments which they may make; requiring a majority of the crews of foreign vessels to be able to commissioned officer; prescribing the proportion of veteran sailors to man each lifeboat, and exempting foreign sailors from arrest for desertion.

It Is hard to believe that coffee will put a person In such a condition as it did an Ohio woman. She tells her own story: "I did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it so well I would not, and could not, quit drinking It, but I was a miserable sufferer from heart trouble and nervous prostration for four years. 'T was scarcely able to be around, had no energy and did not care for anything. Was emaciated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could not endure it "Frequently . I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upset me terribly. I was gradually getting worse until finally I asked myself what's the use of being sick all the time and haying medicine so that I could indulge myself in coffee? ''So I got some Poetum to help me quit I made it strictly according to directions and I want to tell you that change was the greatest step in my Ufa. It was easy to quit coffee because I now like Postum better than the coffee. "One by one the old troubles left until now I am in splendid, health, nerres steady, heart all right and the pain an gone.

CHAPTER VI.—Continued. * I at once gladly accepted her invitation to investigate the curious disappearance of the body of poor Olinto's fellow-rlctlm, determined to obtain the secret knowledge possessed by that smart, handsome girl before ,me. That her suspicions were In the right direction I felt confident, yet If the dead woman had been removed and hidden by the assassin It must have been after the discovery made by me. The fellow must have actually dared to return to the spot and carry off the victim. Yet if he had done that, why did he allow the corpse of the Italian to remain and await discovery? He might perhaps have been disturbed and compelled to make good his escape. ''You tell me, Miss Muriel, that you suspect the truth, and yet you deny all knowledge of the murdered man!" I exclaimed in a tone of slight reproach. ' "Until we have cleared up the mystery of the woman I can say nothing," was her answer. "I can only tell you, Mr. Gregg, that If what I suspect is true, then the affair will be found to be one of the strangest, most startling and most ingenious-plots ever devised by one man against the life of an* other." "Then a man is the assassin, you jthink?" I exclaimed quickly. "I believe so. But even of that I am not at all sure. We must first find the woman." Rannoch wood was already in its gold-brown glory of autumn, and as I stood with Muriel Lelthcourt on the edge of it, near the spot where Ollnto Santinl had fallen, the morning sun was shining in a cloudless* sky. U asked her opinion which was the most likely corner, but she replied: ' "I know so little of this place, Mr. Gregg. You have known it for years, while this Is only my first season here." "Very well," I answered •'Let us start here, and first take a small circle, examining every hush carefully. The body may have easily been pushed in beneath a thicket and well escape observation." And so together, after taking our 1>eartngs, we started off. working our way into the thick undergrowth, beat* ing with our sticks, and making miitjte examination of every trash or heap of dead leaves. All through the morning we walked on, our hands 1»dly torn by brambles. aty own coat was badly torn, and more than once I was compelled to scramble -through almost impassable thickets; yet we found no trace of any previous intruder, and having completed our circle were compelled to admit that the gruesome evidence of the second crime did .hot exist at that spot Muriel was untiring is her activity. Hither and thither she went, beating down the high bracken and tangles of weeds, poking with her stick into every hole and corner,,and going farther and farther into the wood In the certainty that the body was therein Boon we came to a deep wooded ravine .of the existence of which, I was in ignorance. Tt was a kind of small gden through oich a rivulet Bowed, hat the banks were covered with a thick, impenetrable undergrowth. -This is a most likely place," declared my dainty tittle companion as we anproaehed i t "Anythiiiarwuld be concealed in that high down there. Let tie* whole glen from end to end;1 cried with without thought of luncheon, we made a descent of the steep bank until we reached the rocky bed of the stream. Undaunted, she went on, springing from stone to stone and steadying herself with her stick. If we could only discover the body of the dead woman, then the rest would be clear, she declared. She would openly denounce the assassin. The sun had set, and the sky shore showed the crimson of the distant afterglow, warning us that it was time we began to think of how to make our exit We were passing around a sharp bend in the glen where the bowlders were so thickly moss grown that our feet fell noiselessly, when I thought I heard a voice, and raising my hand we both halted suddenly. "Someone Is there," I whispered quickly. "Behind that rock." She nodded in the affirmative, for she, too, had heard the voice. We listened, but the sound was not repeated. That someone was on the other side of the rock I knew, for in a tree in the vicinity a thrush was hopping from twig to twig, sounding its alarm-cry and objecting to being disturbed. Therefore we crept silently forward together to ascertain who were the intruders. The only manner, however, in which to get a view beyond the huge rock that, having fallen across the stream centuries ago, had diverted its channel, was to clamber up it/mossy sides to the summit This we did eagerly and breathlessly, without betraying our presence by the utterance of a single word and laying ourselves flat as we came to Its summit. Then together we peered over, just, however, in time to see two dark figures of men disappearing into the thicket on the opposite side of the glen. "Who are they, I wonder?" I asked. "Do' you recognise them?" "No. They are entire strangers to me," was her answer. "But they seem fairly well dressed. Perhaps two sportsmen from some shooting party in the neighborhood. They've lost their way most probably." "But I don't think they carried guns," I said. "One of them had something over his shoulder?" "Wasn't It a gun? I thought it was." "No, he wasn't carrying carry a gun. It was seemed more like a spade." "A spade!" she gasped quickly in a low voice. At the moment my eye caught sight of a portion of the ground below us at the base of the rock which had evidently been recently disturbed. It is a spade the man is carrying!" I cried excitedly. "Look down there! They've just been burying something!" Her quick eyes followed the direction I indicated, and she answered: "I really believe they have concealed something!" Then when we had allowed the men to get beyond hearing, we both slipped down to the other side of the bowlder and there discovered many signs that the earth had been hurriedly excavated and only just replaced. Quicker than it takes to describe the exciting incident which followed, we broke down jhe branch of a. tree and with it commenced moving the freshly disturbed earth, which was still soft and easily removed. Muriel found a dead, branch in the vicinity, and both of us set.to work with a will, eager to 'ascertain what was hidden there. That something had certainly been concealed was, to us, quite evident, hut what it really was we could not surmise. Digging with a piece of wood hard and laboriots work and it a long time before we removed sufficient earth to make a hole of any sise. But Muriel exerted all her energy, and both of ns worked on in dogged silence full of wonder and anticipation. With a spade we should hare soon been able to investigate, but the earth having apparently been stamped down hard prior to the last covering being put upon i t oar progress was very slow and difficult -At last a quarter of an hoar or so after we had commenced, Muriel | standing in the hole and waving dog her stake deeply into the ground, suddenly cried: "Look!

TWtfsjmSft: enigma wne/surety it like he'd short—and CHAPTER Vir. Contains a Surprise. The first object brought to light, about two feet beneath the surface, was a piece of dark gray woolen stuff which, when the mold was removed, proved to be part of a woman's skirt With frantic eagerness I got into the hole we had made and removed the soil with my hands, until I suddenly touched something hard. A body lay there, doubled up and crushed Into the well-like hole the men had dug. Together we pulled it out when, to my surprise, on wiping away the dirt from the hard, waxen features, I recognized it as the body of Armida, the woman who had been my servant in Leghorn and who had afterwards married Ollnto. Both had been assassinated! When Muriel gazed upon the dead woman's face she gave vent to an expression of surprise. The body was evidently not that of the person she had expected to find. "Who is she, I wonder T" my companion ejaculated. "Not a lady, evidently, by her dress and hands." "Evidently not" was my response, for I still deemed It best to keep my own counsel I recollected the story Ollnto had told me about bis wife; of her illness and her longing to return to Italy. Yet the dead woman's countenance must have been healthy enough In life, although her hands were rough and hard, showing that she had been doing manual labor. Armida had been a particularly good housemaid, a black-haired, black-eyed Tuscan, quick, cleanly and full of a keen sense"kit humor. It was a great shock to me to find her lying dead. The breast of her dress was stained with dried blood, which, -on examination, I found had issued from a deep and fatal wound beneath the ear where she had been struck an unerring blow that had severed the artery. "Those men—those men who buried her! I wonder who they were?" my companion exclaimed in a hushed voice. "We must follow them and as- Then Together We Peered Over. J certain. They are certainly the murderers who have returned in secret and concealed the evidence of this second crime." "Yes," I said. "Let us go after them. They must not escape us." Then, leaving the exhumed body beneath a tree, I caught Muriel by the waist and waded* across the deep channel worn by the stream at that point after which we both ascended the steep hank, where the pair had disappeared in the darkness of the wood. - We went on through the gloomy forest tor the light had faded and eve* ning was now creeping on. From time to time we halted and listened. But there was a dead silence, broken only by the shrill cry of a night bird and the low rustling of the leaves in the autumn wind. The men knew their way, it seemed, even though the wood was trackless. Yet they had nearly twenty minutes start of us, and in that time they might be already out in the open country. Would they succeed in evading us? Yet even if they did, I could describe the dress of one of them, while that of his companion was as far as I made out dark bine, of a somewhat nautical cut He wore also a flat cap, with a peak. We went on. Bat we saw no sign of the men who had so secretly concealed the body of their victim. "You expected to discover another woman, did you not Miss Lelthcourt?*' I asked presently, as we walked across the moor. "Yes," she answered- "I expected to flad an entirely different person.** "But if the identity of $he dead woman Is establishedT" I asked. "It might furnish me with a clue," she exclaimed quickly. MYes, try and discover who she is." "Who was the woman you expected to find?" "A friend—a very dear friend." "Will you not tell me her name?" I inquired. "No, it would be unfair to her," she responded decisively, an answer which to me was particularly tantalizing. It was quite dark when I took leave of my bright little companion, who, tired out and yet uncomplaining, pressed my hand and wished me good fortune in my investigation. At half-past nine that night I pulled up the dogcart before the chief police station at Dumfries, and alighting at' once sought the big fair Highlander Mackenzie, with whom I had had the consultation on the previous day. When we were seated in his room beneath the hissing gas jet I related my adventure and the result of my investigation. "What?" he cried, jumping up. "You've unearthed another body—a woman's?" "I have. And what is more, I can identify her," I replied. "Her name is Armida, and she was wife of the murdered man Ollnto Santini." "Then both husband and wife were killed?" "Without a doubt—a double tragedy." "But the two men who concealed the body! Will you describe them?" I did so, and he wrote at my dictation, and calling in one of his subinspectors, gave him instructions for the immediate circulation of the description to all the police stations in the county, saying the two men were wanted on a charge of willful murder. His lips were pressed together in distinct dissatisfaction as he asked: "The body is still in the glen, where you left it?" "Yes. If you wish, I will take you to the spot I can drive you and your assistant up there." "Certainly. Let us go/' he exclaimed, rising at once and ringing his bell. "Get three good lanterns and some matches and put them in this gentleman's trap outside," he said to the constable who answered his summons. "And tell Gilbert Campbell that I want him to go with me up to Rannoch wood." He asked: "When do you expect to get a telegram from your friend, the consul at Leghorn? I am anxious for that, in order that we may commence inquiries in London." "The day after tomorrow, I hope. He will certainly reply at once, providing the dead man's father can still be found." At that moment a tall thin man, who proved to be Detective Campbell, entered, and five minutes later we were all three driving over the uneven cobbles of Dumfries and out in the darkness towards Rannoch. When we reached the wood we all descended and, with Mackenzie and Campbell carrying lanterns, walked on carefully, keeping straight on in the direction of the glen, and halting every now and then to listen for the rippling of the stream. At last, after some difficulty, we discovered it, and searching along the bank with our three powerful light, I presently detected the huge mossgrown bowlder whereon I had stood when the pair of fugitives had disappeared. "Look!" I cried. "There's the spot!" And quickly we clambered down the steep bank, lowering ourselves by the branches of the trees until we came to the water Into which I waded, being followed closely by my two companions. On gaining the opposite side I clambered up to the base of the bowlder and lowered my lantern to reveal to them the gruesome evidence of the second crime, but the next instant I cried: "Why! It's gone!" ^ "Gone!" gasped the two men. "Yes. It was here. Look! this is the hole where they buried It! But they evidently returned, and finding it exhumed, they've retaken possession of it and carried It away!" As ? s stood ther£ dumfounded at, the disappearance of lEe oody, the Highlander's quick glance caught something, and stooping he picked it up and examined the little object by the aid of his lantern. Within his palm I saw lying a tiny little gold cross, about an inch long, enameled in red, while In the center was a circular miniature of a kneeling saint an elegant'and beautifully executed little trinket which might have adorned a lady's bracelet "This is a pretty little thing!" remarked the detective. "It may possi-j bly lead us to something. . But, Mr. Gregg," he added, turning to me, "are you quite certain you left the body here?" "Certain?" I echoed. "Why, look at the hole I made. You don't think I have 'any interest in leading you here on a fool's errand, do you?*" "Not at all" he said apologetically. "Only the whole affair seems so very inconceivable—I mean that the men, having once got rid of the evidence of their crime, would hardly return to the spot and reobtain possession of it." "Unless they watched me exhume i t and feared the consequences if It fell into your hands," I suggested. "Of course they might have watched you from behind the trees, and when you had gone they came and carried it away somewhere else," he remarked dubiously; "but even if they did. Jit must be in this wood. They would never risk carrying a body very far, and here is Purely the best place of concealment in the whole country." "The only thing remaining Is to search the wood at daylight," I suggested. "If the two men came back here during my absence they may stffl be on the watch in the vlatnitJ"' "Most probably they are. We sjnat take every precaution," he said decisively. At dawn Mackenzie, with four of his men, made a thorough examination of the wood, but although they continued If* "Lookl Look, Mr. Greggl" until dusk they discovered nothing, neither was anything heard of the mysterious seafarer and his companion in brown tweeds. I called on Muriel and explained how the body had so suddenly disappeared, whereupon she stared at me pale faced, saying: "The assassins must have watched us! They are aware, then, that we have knowledge of their crime?" "Of course," I said. "Ah!" she cried-hoarsely. "Then we are both in deadly peril—peril of our own lives! These people will hesitate at nothing. Both you and I are marked down by them, without a doubt. We must both be wary not to fall into any trap they may lay for us." Her very words seemed an admission that she was aware of the identity of The conspirators, and yet she would give me no clue to them* ^ Next day I accompanied the party over to Glenlea, about five miles distant, and at noon at a spot previously arranged, we found the ladies awaiting us with luncheon spread under the trees. As soon as we approached Muriel came forward quickly, handing me a telegram, saying that it had been sent over by one of my uncle's grooms at the moment they were leaving the castle. I tore it open eagerly and read Its contents. It was from Frank Hutcheson in Leghorn, and read: Made Inquiries.

While towne around us have been patting on a summer •course year after year in addition to the established annual winter courses, this is Pinckney** maiden effort in the Chautauqua field. The entertainments have been planned with the beet interests ot the town at heart, the proceeds therefrom to be donated toward a public library, so let every person buy a season ticket, because in the end, not only will one hay* the pleasure of attending the concerts, jbut the nucleus of a public library will result. A short synopsis of each days entertainment follows. A careful perusal of same will make everyone feel that it is something they „ cannot afford to miss. On Wednesday, July 21 will occur the concert of the Tsoharkowsky Quartet, which is a remarkable group of artists, w h o have heard, studied and. played the greatest music under the most able of the world's conductors. Thursday, July 22, there will come to us, Ye Old Folk's Choir Concert Com. petty. They have attained the highest art of proficiency in their profession. Rarely will anyone have the chance of listening to a concer^whiehwitt prove any move pleasing. The last day, Friday, July 23, Charlea. R. Taggart, entertainer, in connection with Chancellor Bradford, lecturer, will follow up in splendid * style the work of the other two concert oompanys. Charles Taggart will change your sadness to smiles and your worries into wonderment by mimicry. The same day you can hear one of the greatest lecturers on the lecture platform today. The words of Chancellor H. Bradford will long be remembered as those of an earnest speaker and a deep thinker on the problems which are confronting our nation today.

Tickets are now on sale and may be obtained at Meyer's drug store for $1.00 for the course of six entertainments, the sasjss eomnany giving a different estestakment both afternoon mod evening.

Ail this happened in Pinckney in broad day light with the town marshal's residence right next door to the future home of the bride and groom.

CHAPTER VII—Continued. That night, after calling upon the detective, Mackenzie, I took the Bleep* Lag car express to Euston. The restaurant which Hutcheson had indicated was, I found, situated about halfway up Westbourne Grove, nearly opposite Whlteley's. It was soon after nine o'clock when I entered the long shop with its rows Qf marble-topped" tables and greasy lounges of red plush. An unhealthy-looking lad was sweeping out the place with wet sawdust, and a big, dark-bearded, flabby-faced man in shirt sleeves stood behind the small counter polishing some forks. "I wish to see Signor Ferrari," I said, addressing him. 'There is no Ferrari, he is dead," responded the man in broken English. "My name is Odlnzoff. 1 bought the place from madame." "I have come to inquire after a waiter you have in your service, an Italian named Santinl. He was my servant for some years, and I naturally take an interest in him." "Santinl ?" he repeated. "Oh, you mean Olinto? He Is not here yet He comes at ten o'clock." This reply surprised me. I had expected the restaurant keeper to express regret at his disappearance, yet he spoke as though he had been at work as usual on the previous day. "You find Olinto a good servant, I suppose?" I said, for want of something else to say. "Excellent The Italians are the best waiters In the world. I am Russian, but I dare not employ a Russian waiter. These English would not come to my shop if I did." "How long has Olinto been with you?" I inquired. "About a year—perhaps a little more. I trust him Implicitly, and I leave him in charge when I go away for holidays. He does not get along very well with the cook—who Is Milanese. These Italians from different provinces always quarrel,*'he added, laughing. "If you live in Italy you know that no doubt" I laughed in chorus and then, glancing at my watch, said: "111 wait for him, if he win be here at ten. I'd much like to see him again." The Russian was by no means nonplused, but merely remarked: "He is late sometimes, but not often. He lives on the other side of London—over at Camberwell." Suddenly a aide door opened and the cook put his head in to speak with his master in'French. He was a typical Italian, about forty, with dark mustaches turned upwards, and an s e n going, careless manner. Seeing me, however, and believing mo to be a customer, he turned and dosed the door quickly. In that instant I noticed the high broadness of his shoulders, and sis book struck me as strangely similar to that of the man in brown whom we had seen disappearing in Rannoch The suspicion bold Presently Odlnsoff west outside, carrying with aim two board* upon which tae menu of the 'TOgntpeony Luncheon! This Dayl* wis written in serawty characters, as* proceeded to ante them to the shop front This was my opperuaity, and quick as thought i moved towards where the gihostthy youth was at work, and T i l jsjatfH Now, tall I t s Just K *se» ^sss* the If truthfully, the mam "shadfiol Tea, ate "Was hp here the day before r "No, air. He's been away 111 tor tour days." "And your master?" X had no time to put any further question, for the Russian re-entered at that moment and the youth busied himself rubbing the front of the counter in pretense that I had not spoken to him. Indeed. I had some difficulty in slipping the promised coin Into his hand at a moment when bis master was not looking. While I stood there a rather thin, respectably dressed man entered and seated himself upon one of the plush lounges at the farther end, removed his bowler hat and ordered from the proprietor a chop and a pot of tea. Then, taking a newspaper from bia» pocket he settled himself to read, ajT patently oblivious to his surroundings. And yet as I watched I saw that over the top of his paper he was carefully taking in the general appearance of the place, and hla eyes were keenly following the Russian's movements. So deep was his interest in the place, and so keen those dark eyes of his, that the truth suddenly dawned upon me. Mackenzie had telegraphed to Scotland Yard and the customer sitting there was a detective who had oome to investigate. I had advanced to the counter to chat again with the proprietor when a quick step behind me caused me to turn. Before me stood the slim figure of a man in a straw hat and rather seedy black Jacket "Dio Signor Padrone I" he cried. I staggered as though I had received a blow. Olinto Santinl in the flesh, smiling and well, stood there before me! CHAPTER VIII. Life's Counter-Claim. No word of mine can express my absolute and abject amasement when I faced the man, whom I had seen lying cold and dead upon that gray stone slab in the mortuary of Dumfries. My eye caught the customer who, on the entry of Olinto, had dropped his paper and sat staring at him in wonderment The detective had evidently been furnished with a photograph of the dead man, and now, like myself, discovered him alive and living. "Signor Padrone!" cried the man whose appearance was so absolutely bewildering. "How did you find me here? I admit that I deceived you when I told you I worked at the Mi* lano," he went on rapidly in Italian. "But it was under compulsion—my actions that night were not my own— but those of others." "Yes, I understand," I said. "But come out into the street I don't wish to speak before these people. Your padrone knows Italian, no doubt" And turning with a smile to the Pole, I apologised for taking away his servant for a few minutes. And when we were outside, Olinto walking by my side in wonderment I asked suddenly: Tell me. Have you ever been in Scotland—at Dumfries?" "Never, signor, in my life. Why?" "Answer me another question,'' I said quickly. "You married Armlda at the Italian consulate. Where Is she now—where Is she this morning?" He turned pale, and I saw a complete change in his countenance. "Ah, signore!" ho responded. "I only wish 1 could ton." "I oast no reflection whatever upon you, Olinto; ! have merely inquired after your wife, and you do not give me a direct reply." We had walked to the Royal Oak, and stood talking on the curb outside. "I give you no reply, because I can'tH he said in ItaBam. "Armlda— my poor Amida—has left home." "Why did yon ten me such a tale of distress regarding her?" "As I have already explained, sir nore, I was not then master of Bay own eotions. I was ruled by others. But I saved your HJo at risk of a y own. Soma day. when H Is sate, I win re real to you everything," "Let us allow the. past to remain," I said. "Where 2s your wife now?" Be hoBttated a straight into nty face. " l i e truth is, Signor tore, that my wife disappeared. Last Saturday at e*ven o'clock sho was talking ovwr the garden wan with a torn ly want out, hut from that moment no one hag seen or heard of her." It was on the tip of my tongue to tell him the ghastly truth, yet so strange was the circumstance that ms own double, even to the mole upon his teoefeShould he lying dead and buried in Scotland that I hesitated to relate what I knew. "She spoke English, I suppose?" "She could make herself understood very well." ho said with a sigh, and I saw a heavy, thoughtful look upon his brow. That he was really devoted to her. I know. With the Italian of whatever station in life, love is aUconsuming— ft Is either perfect love or genuine hatred. The Tuscan char* actor Is one of two extremes. I glanced across the road, and saw that the detective who had ordered his chop and coffee had stopped to light his pipe and was watching us. "But why haven't you told the police?" "I prefer to make inquiries for myself." "And in what have your inquiries resulted?" "Nothing—absolutely nothing," he said gravely. "You do not suspect any plot? I recollect that night in Lambeth you told me you had enemies?" "Ah! so I have, signore—and so have you!" he exclaimed hoarsely. "Yes, my poor Armlda may have been entrapped by them." "And if entrapped, what then?" 'They would kill tier with as little compunction as they would a fly," he said. "Ah! you do not know the callousness of those people. I only hope and pray that she may have escaped and Is in hiding somewhere, and will arrive unexpectedly and give me a startling surprise. She delights in startling me," he added with a laugh. '"Then you think she must have been called away from home by some urgent message?" I suggested. "By the manner in which Bhe left things* it seemed as though she went away hurriedly. There were five sov- * * * • Olinto Santinl in the Flesh, Smiling and Well, Stood There Before Me. erelgns in a drawer that we had saved for the rent and she took them with her." I paused, hesitating whether to tell him the terrible truth. I recollected that the body had disappeared, theretore what proof had I of my allegation that she had been murdered? "Tell me, Olinto," I said as we moved forward again In the direction of Paddington station, "have you any knowledge of a man named Leithoourtr He started suddenly and looked at "I have heard of him," he answered very lamely. "And of his daughter—Mnrlsir "And also of her. But I am not acquainted with them—nor, to ten the truth, do I wish to be." "Whyr "Becsnse they are enemies of mine —bitter enemies." His declaration was strange, for It throw some light upon the tragedy In Rannoch wood. "And of your wife, also?" "I do not know that" he responded. "My enemies are my wife's also. T o o have not told me the secret of that dastardly attempt upon me when we last met" I said in a low voice. "Why not tell mo the truth? I surely oaght to know who my enemies really are, so as to be warned against any negro pwc "Yon shall know oome day, signore. I dare not tan yon now." "Yon said that before," I exdaimod with dissatisfaction. *Ti faithful to me, you ought at least to tall me the reason they wished to klU me in secret" "Because they fear you." was his answer. "Why should they fear me?" But he shrugged his shoulders, and made a gesture with his hands indicative of utter ignorance. *T ask you one question- Answer yes or no. Is the man Lelthcourt my enemy f* The young Italian paused, and then answered: "He Is not your friend. I am quite well aware of that I have known him several years. When we first met he was poor." "Suddenly became rich—oh r "Bought a fine house in the country; lives mostly at the Carlton when he and his wife and daughter are in London—although I believe they now have a house somewhere tn the West end-^-and he often makes long cruises in his steam yacht" # "And how did he make his money T Again Olinto-elevated his shoulders without replying. He walked with me as fax as the end of Blahop's road, endeavoring with all the Italian's exquisite diplomacy to obtain from me what I knew concerning the Lelthoourts. But I told him nothing, nor did I reveal that I had only that morning returned from SooUeudV Then at last we'parted, and he retraced his steps to the little restaurant in Westbourne Grove, while I entered a hansom and drove to the well-known photographer's in New Bond street whose name had been upon the torn photograph of the young girl in the white pique blouse and her hair fastened with a bow of ribbon, the picture that I had found on board the Lola on that memorable night in the Mediterranean, and a duplicate of which I had seen in Muriel's cozy little room up at Rannoch. I recollected that she had told me the name of the original was Elma Heath, and that she had been a schoolfellow of hers at Chichester. Therefore I inquired of the photographer's lady clerk whether she could supply me with a print of the negative. For a considerable time she searched in her books for the name, and at last discovered it. Then she said: "I regret, sir, that we can't give you a print, for the customer purchased the negative at the time." "Ah, I'm very sorry for that," I said. 'To what address did you send it?" "The customer who ordered it was apparently a foreigner," she said, at the same time turning round the ledger so that I could read, and I saw that the entry was: "Heath—Miss Elma— three dozen cabinets and negative. Address: Bardn Xavler Oberg, Voanesenskl Prospect 48, St Petersburg, Russia." Who was this Baron Oberg? The name was German undoubtedly, yet he lived in the Russian capital. From London to St Petersburg is a far cry, yet I resolved if it were necessary I would travel there and investigate. At the German embassy, in the Carlton House Terrace, 1 found my friend, Captain Nieberdlng, the second secretary, of whom I inquired whether the name of Baron Oberg was known, but having referred to a number of German books in his excellency's library, he returned and told me that the name did not appear in the lists of the German nobility. "He may be Russian—Polish, most probably," added the captain. His opinion was that it was not a German name, for there was a little place called Oberg, he said, on the railway between Lodz and Lowica. Next day I ran down to Chichester, and after some difficulty found the Cheverton College for Ladies, a big old-fashioned house about half a mile out of the town of the Drayton road. The seminary was evidently a firstclass one. tor when I entered I noticed how well everything wss kept To the principal, an elderly lady of somewhat severe aspect, I said: "I regret madam, to trouble you, but I am in search of information- you can supply. It is with regard to a certain BUma Heath whom you had as pupil here, and who left I beUeve, about two years ago. Her parents lived in Durham. There has been some little friction in the family, and I am making inquiries on behalf of another brangg of it—an sunt who desjres to ascertain the girl's whereabouts." "Ah, I regret sir, that I cannot tell you that The baron, her uncle, earns here one day and took her away suddenly— abroad, I think." "Had she no school friends to whom she would probablr write?" "There was a girl named Lelthcourt —Muriel Lelthcourt—who was her friend, hat who has also left" "And no one ease?" I asked. "Girls often write to each other after leaving school, until they got married, and then the correspondence usually The principal was silent and reflective, "WelV she said at last 'there was another papa who was also on friendly terms with Elma—a girl named Lydta Moreton, She may have written to her. If you roattv desire to know. sir, I dare say I oould tod her eeV dress. She left us about nine months ** after Elma." *v 4,I should esteem it a great favor h? you would give me that young ladyV address," I said, whereupon she unlocked a drawer in her writing-table ^ and took therefrom a thick, leather- • bound book which she consulted for a few minutes, at last exclaiming: f "Yea, here it is—Tydia Morelon, daughter of Sir Hamilton Moreton, K. C. M. G., Whiston Grange, Doncaster.*" And with that I took my leeve«v thanking her, and returned to Lon* don. Could Lydia Moreton fsrslsh any information? If so, I might find this girl whose photograph had aroused the irate Jealousy of the mysterious UP* The ten o'clock Edinburgh express from King's Cross next morning took me up to Doacastor, and hiring a musty old fly at the station, I drove three miles out of the town on the Rother* ham road, finding Whiston Grange to be a fine old EUsabethan mansion in the center of a great park, with tail old twisted chimneys, and beautifully kept gardens. When f descended at the door and rang, the footman was not aware whether Miss Lydia was in. He looked at me somewhat suspiciously, 1 thought until I gave him my card and impressed upon him meaningly that i had come from London purposely to see his young mistress upon a very important matter. •Tell her." I said, "that I wish to see her regarding her friend, Miss Elma Heath." "Miss Elma 'Eath," repeated the man. "Very well, sir. Win you walk this wsy?" I followed him across the big old oak-paneled hall, filled with trophies of the chase and arms of the civil wars, into a small paneled room on the left, the deep-set window with its diamond panes giving out upon the old bowling-green and the flower garden beyond. Presently the door opened, and a tsil, dark-haired girl in white entered with an inquiring expression upon her face as she halted and bowed to me. "Miss Lydia Moreton, I believer* I commenced, and as she replied in the affirmative, I went on: "I have first to apologise for coming to you, but Miss Sotheby, the principal of the school at Chichester, referred me to you for information as to the present whereabouts of Miss Elma Heath, who, I believe, was one of your most Intimate friends at school." And I added a lie, saying: "I am trying, on behalf of an aunt of hers, to discover her." "Well," responded {he girl. "I have only one or two letters. She's In her ancle's hands, I believe, and he won't let her write, poor girl. She dreaded leaving us." "Why?" "Ah! she would never say. She had some deep-rooted terror of her uncle, Baron Oberg, who lived in St. Petersburg, and who came over at long Inter vals to see her. But possibly you know the whole story?" "I know nothing," I cried eagerly. "You will be furthering her interests, as well as doing me a great personal favor, if you will tell me what you know." "It is very little," Bhe answered, leaning back against the edge of the table and regarding me seriously. "Poor Elma! Her people treated her very badly indeed. They sent her no money, and aUowed her no holidays, and yet she was the sweetest-tempered and most patient girl in the whole school." "Well—and the story regarding^ her?" "It was supposed that her people st Durham did not exist," she explained. "Elma had evidently lived a greater part of her life sbroad, for she oould speak French and Italian better than the professor himself, sad thoreforo always won the prizes. The class revolted, and then she did not compete any more. Yet she never told us of where she had lived when a chttd.

This nation is now entering upon an era of marine development. The wreckage of Buropean commerce has drifted to our shores and the world war is making unprecedented demands for the products of farm and factory. In transportation facilities on land we lead the world but our port facilities are inadequate, and our flag la seldom Been in foreign ports. If our government would only divert the energy we have displayed in conquering the railroads to mastering the commerce of the sea, a foreign bottom would be unknown on the ocean's highways. This article will be confined to a discussion of our ports for the products of the farm must pass over our wharf8 before reaching the water. We have in this nation 51 ports, of which 41 are on the Atlantic and 10 are on the Pacific Coast. The Slxty-aecond Congress appropriated over $51,000,- 000 for improving our Rivers and Harbors and private enterprise levies a toll of approximately $50,000,000 annually in wharfage and charges for which no tangible service Is rendered. The Utter item should be lifted oft the backs of the farmer of this nation and this can be dona by Congress directing Its appropriations to ports that are free where vessels can tie up to a wharf and discharge her cargo free of any fee or charge. A free port is progress. It takes out the unnecessary link in the chain of transactions in commerce which has for centuries laid a heavy hand upon commerce. No movement is so heavily laden with results or will more widely and equally distribute its benefits as that of a free port and none can be more easily and effectively secured. All Aboard For the Big 4th of July Celebration, Howell Saturday, July 3 r d $1200 Will Be Spent and We Guarantee 100 Cents Worth of Fun For Every Dollar THE VTML PROBLEM OF AGRICULTURE By Peter Radford. There is no escaping the market problem and the highest development of agriculture will not be attained until it la solved, for a market is as necessary for the producer as land on which to grow his crop. Governmental and educational Institutions have spent $180,000,000 in the United States during the past ten years for improving soil production and improving seeds and plants, but very little attention and leas money has been given to the marketing side of agriculture. The problem Is a monumental one and one which will never be solved until It gets within the grasp of a gigantic organisation where master minds can concentrate the combined experience and wisdom of the age upon i t It is a problem which the farmers, merchants, bankers, editors and statesmen must unite In solving. The Farmers' Union stands for all there is la farming from the most scientific methods of seed selection to the moat systematic and profitable plans of marketing, but does not be* lievs in promoting one to the neglect of the other. We consider the work of farm demonstrators valuable and we aak that governmental and commercial agencies seeking to help us, continue to give us their assistance and advice, but we believe that their influence should be extended to the marketing side of our farm problems also We cannot hope* to develop manufacturing by over-production of the factory; we cannot build up mercantile enterprises by the merchants loading their shelves with surplus goods and no more can we develop agriculture by glutting the market with a surplus of products.

Whether there will be a revival dnr* ins the next few years of the domestic art of making wine la a matter of pare conjecture, bat tt la interesting to recall that formerly many common things that grow around us were utilized by thrifty housewives In the preparation of "tipples" that were mors or less mild or more or less potent Generally the wine-making potentials ties of these things are little thought of now, and in most hemes, even to country homes, wine-making processes have been forgotten. Reference has recently been made to the making of dandelion wine, a sweet and potent win* prepared with the aid ot the golden flowers of the dandelion. Elderberry wine and elder* flower wine were made in most of the rural homes In the Potomac country a generation or so ago. Blackberries were gathered Industriously by the children for conversion into jam and wine or cordial, and raspberries were especially sought after that wine could be made from them. It Is probable that in the minds of elderly persons today there Is preserved a better memory of raspberry vinegar than of raspberry wine, for it was popularly believed that raspberry vinegar was superior to that made from apples. In cherry time the fruit was treasured because, tt could be preserved or converted into a familiar tipple called "cherry bounce," a drink which at certain etages of Its "aging" or development was exhilarating and intoxicating. The flavor of gooseberry wine was known and esteemed by most of the grandmothers and grandfathers of present Washingtonlans. On all the old farms there was a little distillery, though on some farms It was not so little, Just as there was an icehouse and a smokehouse, where the peaches and apples and grapes could be distilled into fruit brandy. Cider-making was a ceremony, and in the late fall when frost had pinched and somewhat shriveled the persimmons a strange potation called persimmon beer was made. Parsnip wine was made by British housewives before emigration to America set in, and the art of making this wine was brought over by the early immigrants. There was also in colonial times in America a drink which was called peppermint wine, or peppermint liqueur, Fins for Love-Maklrtg. "The planet Jupiter has five moons." "How romantic the nights must be there!"—Kansas City Journal. Uses of Pineapple Juice. The Juice left from canned pineapple is fine for use during the canning season to impart flavor to tasteleas fruits, as the pear. A pint of juice added to the water in which pears are cooking gives it an excellent flavor. For canning the pineapple is often put up in grated form. or after being run through a chopper. Although it may be served in various forms, the fruit is so excellent that the simplest form Is as good as any. Sprinkle a little sugar over the slices about an hour before wanted and set in the refrigerator. If the fruit is quite ripe when served very little extra sugar Is needed, but, like all other tropical fruits when sent North, it has to be gathered In a green state and is seldom found quite ripened from the field. No fruit lends Itself with greater readiness than the pineapple to coaxing art of the canneries and the preserving factories. Loving a woman is not the Important thing.

At beat such a food win be only a substitute, not an equivalent This substitute food should he the best and clean* eat cows' milk that can he had. Cleanliness is the watchword of proper milk production. The cows themselves should be clean and healthy; the udders and teats should be washed before the milking is begun; the bands of the milker should be freshly washed and he should wear j a clean cotton coat; the pail should be ' partly covered and previously scalded j with boiling water, and the milking | shed or stable should be clean. The < milk should be strained at once and' cooled as quickly as possible to 50 de-, greea and kept cold until used. j Even~~clean milk may be spoiled: after it comes into the house if it is j not kept clean, cold and covered. Milk j which stands uncovered, exposed to ; flies and dust, or is left in a warm room for any length of time, or is put \ away in open vessels will be unfit for j the baby. It should be kept in oov ered bottles, cans or jars. Use any convenient receptacle, such \ as a wooden box, a lard or candy pail,; or a garbage pail, for the outside. Put! a layer of sawdust an inch deep in the ! bottom. In the middle place a covered ; eight or ten-quart pall, or a section of \ ten-inch pipe. Fill the space between the two with sawdust, packing it carefully Into all the corners. The outer \ receptacle should have a cover. If a | box is used this cover may be a j hinged one and may have a thick layer j of newspapers or a straw cushion tacked to the inside to make it fit I tight The inner pail is intended to ( hold the ice and the milk bottles. j It has been found that if, instead of putting the Ice in loose, it is broken up and put into a small covered pail, which is never uncovered, It will last longer. Set this little pail in the inner receptacle, pack the cooled and corked milk bottles around it and close the cover. This little device will keep the baby's milk sweet tor 14 hours, it properly made. Great care mnst be taken to keep the baby's milk clean in making up the baby's feedings. The mother's hands and clothing must be clean before she begins. The utensils needed should be kept for this use alone and should be freshly boiled before being used. All the food needed for 24 hours should be made ready at one time. It is convenient to have enough nursing bottles for the whole day and fill them all when the food is prepared in' the morning. Each bottle should be closed with a new clean cork which has been boiled. The bottles should be cooled and put away in the refrigerator or a cool place at once. When a bottle is needed take It out of the refrigerator and Bet it in a small pail of warm water. Put the pail over the fire and let the water heat To test the temperature of the milk the mother may sprinkle a few drops on the Inner surface of the arm. When it feels slightly warm, not hot; ft will be right for the' baby. It is impossible in a short article like this to give all the necessary directions for preparing the bottles, or I how to determine the amount of milk ! a baby of a given age requires, and j how to modify it, hut these questions j are answered in a bulletin of the chil-j dren'a bureau /called "Infant Care." This will be sent free to anyone askng for It, giving their name and ad dress plainly. FEW CAN ESCAPE NOSTALGIA Homesickness^ Claims Victims From Ail Classes and From Every Variety of People. German sailors on steamships which are held up in New York are said to have, several of them, gone mad. Idleness and homesickness are the causes, hospital authorities say. Homesickness finds strange, victims. Army surgeons know that sometimes it kills. Often it is the man without a regular home who is most subject to nostalgia. This disturbance of soul, mind and body settles down upon the phlegmatic, the burly, the thickskinned. It takes them under sunny skies amid the earth's best loveliness and they moan for dirty streets where they played in childhood. Idleness breeds homesickness and active diversion cures it It Is akin to melancholia and comes In mysterious ways. Probably it arises from the biological impulse Intended to anchor man In one pJace long enough for him to take root. Its opposing Instinct Is the wanderlust Explorers have confessed that the worst homesickness they have known was In the first few hours and days of their return. In familiar surroundings the marks of time's Inexorable progress were painfully apparent. Changes, small and large, tortured them by reminder of the precious past. Some have turned in despondent revulsion to take up their roamings again. Does yoor charity cover many slnsT Every woman's pride, beautiful, cksr white clothe*. Use Red Cross Ball Bias. All grocers.

Said a western mining man at the Astor hotel in New York city the other day, according to the Times: "We have a bachelor's mess in the mining camp where I'm located, and we usually have a Chinaman to do the cooking. Some of the Orientals are fine cooks, after they get over a few of the peculiar ideas they have imbibed from their own country's oddities in the culinary line. "Not long ago we got s new Chinaman as cook. A couple of days later one of the fellows got a pedigreed Irish terrier pup given ^o him—a real dog. My friend had to go up to one of the mines that afternoon, and he turned the puppy over to the new Chinaman. 'You be mighty careful of this dog,' he said to the cook. 'Me be heap careful,' was the answer. "That night at dinner, the new Chinaman brought on, with great ceremony, a covered dish. ." 'Me heap careful,' he remarked, as, with a smile of pride, he removed the cover. "Underneath was the pedigreed pup, neatly cooked in the best Chinese style." t'OCR O W N D R U G G I S T W l f .

A few bankers have loaned mosey to farmers at a low rate of Interest, and ofttimes without compensation, to buy blooded livestock, build silos, fertilise the land, secure better seed, hold their products for a betetr market price, etc. The banker In contributing toward improving the grade of livestock; the quality of the seed end the fertility of the soil, plants in the agricultural life of the community a fountain of profit, that, like Tennyson's brook, runs on and on forever. Community Progress a Bank Asset. The time was when money loaned on such a basis would severely test the sanity of the banker; such transactions would pain the directors like a blow in the face. A cashier who would dare to cast bread upon waters that did not return buttered side up to time for annual dividends would have to give way to a more capable This does hot neceeAirfly iotas; This store will celebrate the Fourth right now wUh some brilliant*lo*hes-bargains for its customers to celebrate in.

A light has been turned on a new world of investment and no usurer ever received as large returns on the investment as these progressive bankers, who made loans to uplift industry. The bankers have always been liberal city builders, but they are now building agriculture. A Dollar WKh a Soul. It is refreshing in this strenuous commercial life to find so many dollars wtth souls. When a dollar Is approached to perform a task that does not directly yield the highest rate of interest, we usually hear the rustle of the eagle's wings as it soars upward; when a dollar is requested to return at the option of the borrower, it usually appeals to the Goddess of Liberty for its contractural rights; when a dollar is asked to expand in volume to suit the requirements COTTON THREAD. Its Invention Was a Case ef Neeseeity Caused by War. Curiously enough, It was a war that brought about the revolution la the manufacture of sewing thread.

It was so much smoother than the ttnem that the women liked i t 1%e thread was sold to hanks and wound by the purchaser, into little balls, but the merchant soon decided to wind the hank on a bobbin or spool for his customers as an added inducement to purchase It instead of the linen. Prom this beginning the cotton thread trade has grown, and now silk and linen are used only for special work.—Philadelphia Record. TRICKS OF UGHTNINQ. A Favorite Prank 8eems to Be to Strip Its Victim Naked. Tfte antics played by lightning are sometimes almost beyond belief, A common trick is that of undressing its victims.

The class of six which were graduated from the Pinckney high school were hondred by perhaps the largest gathering of interested friends which the opera house has held in some years, apon the occasion of their commencement exercises last Thursday evening. The stage was tastefully decorated under the direction of Mrs. J.P. Doyle assisted by the Seniors. The decorations consisted of red, white and blue bunting draped in each a way as to make the large stage1 assume less severe proportions. The front of the stage was banked with ferns and roses. A library table on which stood a bouquet of the class flowers, American Roses, was placed in the center of the stage platform. About this were arranged rooking chairs in which the members of the class could be comfortably seated, instead of in the straight chairs which are usually used on SQch occasions. The program was a very iuterestiog one. The musical part con* eiating of an excellently played piano solo by Miss Sadie Harris and three pleasing vocal soloes by Mrs. H. D.

Doyle, with a few appropriate remarks by Rev. Fr. Coyle.

Gordon Gregg 1B called upon In Leghorn by Hornby, the yacht Lola's owner, and dining aboard with him and his friend, Hylton Chater, accidentally sees a torn photograph of a young girl. That night the consul**, safe is robbed. The police find that Hornby is a fraud and the Lola's name a false one. Gregg visits Capt Jack Dumford of the marines aboard his vessel. Dumford knows, but will not reveal, the mystery of the Lola. "It concerns a woman." In London Gregg la trapped nearly to his death by a former servant, Olinto. Visiting in Dumfries Gregg, meets Muriel Leithcourt Hornby appears and Muriel Introduces him as Martin Woodroffe. her father's friend. Gregg finds that she is engaged to Woodroffe. Gregg sees a copy of the torn photograph on the Lola and finds that the young girl is Muriel's friend. Woodroffe dia&ppears. Gregg discovers the body of a murdered woman in Rannoch wood. The body disappears and in Its place is found the body of Oilnto. Gregg talks to the police but conceals his own knowledge of the woman. Muriel calls secretly on Gregg and tells him that she la certain that a woman as well as a man has been murdered. They Bearch R&nnoch wood together, and find the body of the woman. Gregg recognises her as Armida, Olinto's wife. Gregg tells the police, but when they go to the wood the body has disappeared. In London Gregg meets Olinto, alive and well. Failing to get any clue from Olinto, Gregg traces the young girl of the torn photograph. CHAPTER VIII—Continued. "Well, the last I received only a fortnight ago. If you will wait a moment I will go and get It It was so strange that I haven't destroyed it." And she went out, and I heard by the the frou-frou of her skirts that she was ascending the stairs. After five minutes of breathless anxiety she rejoined me, and handing me the letter to read, said: "It is not in her handwriting—I wonder why?" The paper was of foreign make, with blue lines ruled in squares. Written in a hand thai was evidently foreign, fer the mistakes in the orthography were many, was the following curious communication: My Dear Lydla: Perhaps you may never get this letter— the last I shall ever be able to send you. Indeed. I run great risks In sending It. Ah! you do not know the awful disaster that has happened to me, all the terrors and the tortures I endure. But no one can assist me, and I am now looking forward to the time when it will all be over. Do you recollect our old peaceful days in the garden at Chichester? I think of them always, always, and compare that sweet peace of the past with my own terrible sufferings of today. Ah, how I wish I might see you once again; how that I might feel your hand upon my brow, and hear your words of hope and encouragement! But happiness is now debarred from me, and I am only sinking to the grave under this slow torture of body and of soul. "This will pass through many hands before it reaches the post. If, however. It ever does get dispatchedTand you receive It, will you do me one last favor—a favor to an unfortunate girt who Is friendless and helpless, and who will no longer trouble the world? It la this: Take this letter to London, and call upon Mr. Martin Woodroffe at 18 Cork street. Piccadilly. Show him my letter, and tell him from me that through It all I have kept my promise, and that the secret Is still safe. He will understand—and also know why I cannot write this with my own aswd. If he Is abroad, keep It until he returns. It is all I ask of you, Lydla, and I know that If this reaches you, you will not refuse me. Ton have been my only friend" and confidante, but I now bid yon farewell, for the .unknown beckons me, and from the grave-1 cannot write. Again farewell, and for ever. Tour loving and affectionate friend, ft'liMA, "A very strange letter, is it not?" remarked the girl at my aide. "I cant make it out Ton see there is no address, hut the postmark to Russian. She is evidently in Russia-" "In Finland,** I said. Examining the stamp and making out the post town to bo Abo.

"floor Bbsa, yoa eon. speaks a her Wrkr of sesae sear**. Mr. Gragf,~ smy rible secret—a secret which her ancle, Baron Oberg, is desirous of learning. I know she holds him in deadly t e a r - she is in terror that she may inadvertently betray to him the truth!" CHAPTER IX. 8trsnge Disclosures Are Made. The strange letter of Elma Heath, combined with what Lydla Moreton had told me, aroused within me a determination to investigate the mystery. From the moment I had landed from the Lola on that hot, breathless night at Leghorn. mystery had crowded upon mystery until it was all bewildering. Had it not been for the mystery of It all—and mystery ever arouses the human curiosity—I should have given up trying to get at the truth. Yet as a man with some leisure, and knowing by that letter of Elma Heath's that she was in sore distress, I redoubled my efforts to ascertain the reason of it all. On leaving Leghorn 1 had given up all hope of tracing the mysterious yachtsman and had left the matter in the hands of the Italian police. But, without any effort on my own part, I seemed to have been drawn into a veritable network of strange Incidents, all "It Is Not in Her Handwriting—I Wonder Whyr „ ~~~iv of which combined to form the- most complete and remarkable enigma ever presented in life* Those September days were foil of anxiety for me. Alone and unaided X was trying to solve one of the greatest of problems, plunged as I was in a veritable sea of mystery. I wanted to see Muriel Leithcourt, and to question her further regarding Elma Heath. Therefore again I left Boston and. traveling through the night, took my seat at the breakfast table at Greenlaw next morning. Sir George, who was sitting aloneit not being my aunf s habit to appear early—welcomed me, and than m his bluff manner sniffed and exclaimed: "Nlce goings on up at Rannoch! Have yoa heard of them 7" "No. Whatr I cried breathlessly, staring at him. "Well, it's a very fanny story* and there are a doaen deferent distorted versions of tt," he said. "Bat. from what I can father the true facta are these: About seven o'clock the night before last as Letthoonrt and his bonne parry were dressing for dinner, a telegram arrived* Mrs. Lolleoourt It and at oaes went off Into her bestead, m a slipped off eia evening aad pot Into an old bine a few things into a first she refused, but for her father's sake was Induced to prepare to accompany him. Of course, the guests were in Ignorance of all this. The brougham was ordered to & ready in Jbej&ble yard and not to go round/ while Mrs. LeUhcourt's maid tried to bring the lady back to her senses. Leithcourt himself, it seemed, rushed hither and thither, seizing the Jewel cases of his wife and daughter and whatever valuables he could place his hand upon, while the mother and daughter were putting on their things. As he rushed down the main staircase to the library, where his check book and some ready cash were locked in the safe, he met a stranger who had just been admitted and shown into the room. Leithcourt closed the door and faced him. What afterward transpired, however, is a mystery, for two hours later, after he and the two women had escaped, leaving the house party to their own diversions, the stranger was found locked In a large cupboard and insensible. The sensation was a tremendous one. Cowan, the doctor, was called, and declared that the stranger had been drugged and was suffering from some narcotic. The servant who admitted him declared that the man had said he had an appointment with his master and that no card was necessary. He. however, gave the name of Chater." "Chater!" I cried, starting up. "Are you certain of that name?" "1 only know what Cowan told me," was my uncle's reply. "But do you know htm?" "Not at all. Only I've heard that name before," I said. "I knew a man out in Italy of the same name. But where Is the visitor now?" "In the hospital at Dumfries. They took him there in preference to leaving him alone at Rannoch." "Alone?" "Of course. Everyone has left, now the host and hostess have slipped off without saying good-by. Scandalous affair, isn't it? But, my boy, you'll remember that I always said I didn't like those people. There's something mysterious about them, I feel certain. That telegram gave them warning of the visit of the man Chater, depend upon it, and for some reason they're afraid of him. It would be interesting to know what transpired between the two men in the library. And these are people who've been taken up by everybody— mere adventurers, I should call them!" And old Sir George sniffed again at thought of such scandal happening in the neighborhood. "If Gilrae must let Rannoch, then why in the name of Fortune doesn't he let it to respectable folk and not to the first fellow who answers his advertisement in the Field? It's simply disgraceful!" "Certainly it is a most extraordinary story," I declared. "Leithcourt evidently wished to escape from his visitor, and that's why he drugged him." "Why he poisoned him, you mean. Cowan says the fellow is poisoned, but that he'll probably recover. He is already conscious, I hear." I resolved to call on the doctor, who happened to be well known to me, and obtain further particulars. Therefore at eleven o'clock I drove into Dumfries and entered his consulting room. He was a spare, short, fair man, a trifle bald, and when I was shown in he welcomed me warmly. Bpeaklng with his pronounced Galloway accent "Well, it Is a very mysterious case, Mr. Gregg/' he said, after J had told him the object ofmy visit 'The gentleman is still at the hospital, and I have to keep him very quiet He was poisoned without a doubt and has had a very narrow escape of his life. The poTIcTgot wind of the affair and; Mackenxie called to Question him. BuThe refused to make any statement what* ever, apparently treating the affair very lightly. The police, however, are mystified as to the reason of Mr. Leithcourt's sudden flight and are very anxious to get at the bottom of the curious affair." "Naturally. And more especially after the tragedy up in Rannoch wood a short time ago," I said. "That's Just it" said the doctor, removing his pince-nes and rubbing them. "Mackenzie seems to suspect some connection between Leithoourt's sodden disappearance and that mysterious affair. It seems very evident that the telegram was a warning to Leithcourt of the man Chafer's intention of calling, and that the last-named was shown In Just at the moment when the fugitive waa on the point of leaving." Knowing aB that I did, I was not surprised. Letthoonrt had undoubtedly taken him unawares, bat knights of inconnection with the two mysteries of the wood." "The first mystery—that of the man —proves to be a double mystery," I paid? •• ^--^^^^'vSii^eaj^'2,^ "How? Explain it" "¥?& ta* *Mter Olinto Bantlnl U alive and well in London." "What!" he gasped, starting up. "Then he is not the person you Identified him to be?" "No. But he waa masquerading as Santinl—made up to resemble him, I mean, even to the mole upon his face." "But you identified him positively?" "When a person is dead it is very easy to mistake countenances. Death alters the countenance so very much." '"That's true," he said reflectively. "But if the man we've buried is not the Italian, then tbe mystery is considerably increased. Why was the real man's wife here?" "And where has her body been concealed? That's the question." "Again a mystery. We have made a thorough search for four days, without discovering any trace of i t Quite confidentially, I'm wondering If this man Chater knows anything. It is curious, to say the least, that the Leithcourts should have fled so hurriedly on this man's appearance. But have you actually seen Olinto Santinl?" "Yes, and have spoken with him." "I sent up to London asking that inquiries should be made at the restaurant in Bayswater, but up to the present I have received no report" "I have chatted with Olinto. His wife has mysteriously disappeared, but he is in ignorance that she is dead." "There is widespread conspiracy here, depend upon it, Mr. Gregg. It will be an interesting case when we My nest visit waa to Markentie, tor I had to watt nearly aa he waa absent la "Ah. Mr. Gregg!" he cried gladly, aa he e a s e in to find me seated In a ohair Leithcourt Closed the Door, and Faced H i m . j. get to the bottom of it all. I only wish this fellow Chater would tell us the reason he called upon Leithcourt" "What does he say?" "Merely that he has no wish to prosecute, and that he has no statemeat to make^, ..--^ 3 *-•-•»" "Cant you compel him to say something?" I asked. ."No, } cafl't That's the kernel difficulty!)! it If' he don't choose' to speak, then we must still remain in ignorance, although I feel confident that he knows something of the strange affair up in the wood." And although I was silent I shared the Scotch detective's belief. The afternoon was chill and wet as I climbed the hill to Greenlaw. The sudden disappearance of the tenants of Rannoch was, I found, on everyone's tongue in Dumfries. In the smoke room of the railway hotel three men were discussing it with many grimaces and sinister hints, and the talkative young woman behind the bar asked me my opinion of the strange goings-on up at the castle I decided that the man who had smoked and chatted with me so affably on that hot breathless* night in the Mediterranean must remain in ignorance of my presence, or of my knowledge. Therefore I stayed for a week at Greenlaw with eyes and ears open, yet exercising ear* that the patient in the hospital should be unaware of my presence. The inquiry into the death of the charter of {unidentified man in Rannoch wood had bean resumed and a verdict istained of wfltful snrder against some person unknown, whfle of the seeond ertma the pnhttc had no knowledge, for tbe London and discharged all the late tenant's servants, keeping on only his own. Ann Cameron, a housemaid, was one of these, and it was she whom I met when entering by the servants' On questioning her, 1 found her most willing to describe how she was in the corridor outside the young mistress' room when Mr. Leithcourt dashed along in breathless haste with the telegram in his hand. She heard him ory. "Look at this! Read it, MurieL We must go. Put on your things at once, my dear. Never mind about luggage. Every minute lost is of consequence. What!" he cried a moment later. "You wont go? You'll stay here—stay here and face them? Good heavens! girl, are you mad? Boat you know what this means? It means that the secret is out—the secret is out you hear! We must fly!" The woman told me that she die* tinctiy heard Miss Muriel sobbing, while her father walked up and down the room speaking rapidly in a low tone. Then he came out again and returned to his dressing room, while Miss Muriel presumably changed from her evening gown into a dark traveling dress. "Did she say anything to you?" I inquired. "Only that they were called away suddenly, sir. But" the domestic added, "the young lady was very pale and agitated, and we all knew that something terrible had happened. Mrs. Leithcourt gave orders that nothing was to be told to the guests, who dined alone, believing that their host and hostess had gone down to the village to see an old man who was dying. That was the story we told them. sir." "And in the meantime the Leithcourts were in the express going to Carlisle?" "Yes, sir. They say in Dumfries that the police telegraphed after them, but they had reached Carlisle and evidently changed there, and so got away." By the administration of a Judicious tip I was allowed to go up to Miss Muriel's room, an elegantly furnished little chamber In the front of the flne old place, with a deep old-fashioned window commanding a magnificent view across the broad Nithsdale. The room had been tidied by the maids, but allowed to remain just as she had left it. I advanced to the window, in which was set the large dressing table with its big swing mirror and silver-topped bottles, and on gating out saw, to my surprise, It waa the only window which gave a view of that corner of Rannoch wood where the double tragedy had taken place. Indeed, any person standing at the spot would have a clear view of that one distant window while out of sight of all the rest. A light might be placed there at night as a signal, for instance; or by day a towel might be hung from the window as though to dry and yet could be plainly seen at that distance. Another object in the room also attracted my attention—a pair of long field glasses. Had she used these to keep watch upon that spot? I took them up and focused them upon the boundary of the wood, flnd» ing that I could distinguish everything quite plainly. "That's where they found the man who was murdered," explained the servant who still stood in the doorway. -.-.-,--- ..._- .x.~--:------*8Ssasss "I know," I replied. "I was just trying the gjasses." Tjien I put them down, and on turning saw upon the mantel shelf a small, bright red candle shade, which I took in my hand. It was made, I fogog> electric table lampT6*1 "Miss Muriel was very fond of a light" explained the young woman;. and as I held it I wondered If that light had ever been placed upon the toilet table and the blind drawn up— whether it had ever been used as a warning of danger? As I expressed a desire to see the young lady's boudoir, the maid Cameron took me down, to the luxurious little room where, the first moment I entered, one fact struck me as liar. The picture of Elma Heath no longer there. The photograph had been taken from its frame and tn tts place was the portrait of a broad browed, full-bearded man te a Irs alga military uniform—a picture that, being soiled and faded, had iManUi been placed there to ftU the frame.

As the result of a new law passed at the last session of the legislature, the chief of each city fire department, the president of each village and the supervisor of each township in which no fire department exists ia required to report each fire after it occurs.

Since the organization of the state fire marshal's department several years ago these reports have been furnished by the fire chiefs without remuneration. Last year, 9,960 fires were reported. When tie editor approaches the average citizen in his quest for news he is invariably told that the citizen "doesen't know a thing/' and that answer is about as near the truth as the nations of Europe are to effecting a prompt settlement of their differences. Everybody knows something, and most people know a lot of somethings that are worth telling and wonld make breezy and newzy stories, but they just bottle it up in the walls of their dome and forget that it is there. Sometimes the editor is able to piy it loose word for word until he gets the story, when it would be the easiest and simplest thing in the world to let it all out in a rush.

In other words, the girl who has the "gift of grace" Is the girl who does things well. By Intelligence is meant the sympathetic, adaptable quality of mind, rather than that of the brilliant order.

Many men among the audience, used to the ways of wild beasts, saw and comprehended, but only one man possessed the knowledge and the presence of mind to avert the apparently Inevitable. Pursing up* his lips as though he were going to whistle, he emitted a hoarse, low, rasping hlaa. The beast heard and understood, for the sound was a a exact imitation of the noise made by the giant constrictor when Its huge body is colled for the throw that never misses, that never relaxes and that no beast of the field is strong enough to withstand. Again and yet again the raucous sound rasped the stillness, and the angry brute drew back Its head, its great eyes grew small and dull, the hackles rose and stiffened on its back, and it cowered, whining, on the floor of the cage.—Lon don Saturday Review.

On the fourth day of July, 1754, CoX George Washington surrendered an army. It was only a small army, but a fort went with i t He experienced on this occasion his first defeat in war, at the hands of the Preach, Although at that time only twentytwo years of age, he had been placed in command of a small body of troops which was marching toward Fort Duquesne. At a point on the Monongahela river, less than forty miles from his destination, he heard of the approach of a party of French and Indians, sent to Intercept him Accordingly, he fell back to the G r e a t Ideadowa, fifty miles from Cumberland, and hastily erected a stockade, which he called Fort Necessity. With the help of a friendly Indian sachem, Half King, he attacked the French fn their camp at night, killing their commander, Jtfmonville, and taking a number of prisoners. ft- »** tbe first blood *• tbe French ^nd War. days later Fort ssslty was attacked by 1,500 Indians and French under De Villiers, and Washington surrendered on honorable terms. This was on the m.(!IUlng 0 f J u , y 4- H e marched out with his little army of 400 men, drums mating and flags flying, and he and his soldiers returned peaceably to their homes. On the fourth day of July, 1846, the Independence of California was declared. There was at that time In California —as yet of course a part of Mexico— about two hundred Americans, nearly all of them men of exceptional vigor of body and alertness of mind. Of Mexicans there were 6,000, and the aboriginal Indian population numbered perhaps 200,000. Capt. John C. Fremont had been sent to California on an exploring expeditioo a year earlier. He was on his way to Oregon when he was overtaken by an officer sent from Washington with a message ordering him to \rait and to co-operate with the Pacific squadron in case of hostilities With Mexico. The message had been in writing, but the officer was obliged to destroy it while crossing Mexican territory, after committing it to memory. Accordingly Fremont returned to California and took up his headquarters at Sutter's Fort A few days later, June 14, a party of fourteen Americans organized a •mall revolution on their own account, captured Sonoma and declared war against Mexico. Needing a flag and not daring to use that of the United 8tates, they made one, not out of an old lady's petticoat, as has sometimes been alleged, but from a Mexican rebosa or scarf of unbleached muslin a yard wide and five feet long. Along the bottom they sewed a strip of red flannel and in the left hand corner they painted a star In red Ink. The middle of the flat was occupied by a picture of a grixxly bear, beneath which were the words "California Republic." The temporary government thus set up la knov n is history as the Bear Flag aepubllc its banner now ornaments the rooms of the Pioneer society In San Francisco. The grixsly bear was rather crudely drawn, and the Mexicans said it was a pis, call* ing the flag the pis; flag. Meanwhile news had come of the outbreak of war along the Rio Grande and on July 4 Fretnont called a meeting at Sonoma which formally proclaimed the independence of California. He was appointed governor. Soon afterward there came faitsQtgents that Commodore Bloat bad arrived i t Monterey (July 7) and had raised the American flag; also that by Ms Older• Commander Montgomery of the U S. sloop of war Portshad taken possession of 6mWA2,T%fZJZAtfKH too soon, for exactly a week later, July 14, the British man of war Colllngwood, commanded by Sir George Seymour, arrived at Monterey to proclaim British sovereignty. It was thus only by a narrow chance that England did not become the possessor of California, which she had greatly coveted. On the fourth day of July, 1584, two barks which had been sent by Sir Walter Raleigh to discover and annex the American continent north of Florida arrived off the coast Sailing along for 120 miles, they entered the mouth of a river and took formal possession of the country for the queen of England, naming it Virginia. They landed on Roanoke island, afterward occupied by the first English settlement in the new world. This colony, consisting of 110 persons sent out in April, 1585, was abandoned in less than a year, the settlers carrying--nropriated the amount necessary for back with them to Europe the first tobacco and the first potatoes, which latter were planted experimentally on Raleigh's estate not far from Cork, in Ireland. On the fourth day of July, 1754, Benjamin Franklin laid before the commissioners of colonies, at Albany, a plan for a federal constitution, aimed to accomplish a union for defense against French encroachment It was adopted, but afterward was rejected by some of the colonies and by the British government This was exactly twenty-two years before the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Curiously enough, the document was rejected by the colonies because it put too much power Into the hands of the king; and it was vetoed In England because it gave too much power to the assemblies of the colonies. On the fourth day of July, 1770, umbrellas were first Introduced into this country, a shipment of them arriving at the port of Baltimore. They were generally regarded as an absurdity, and it was considered that only foolish and effeminate persona could possibly use them. The massacre of Wyoming valley occurred oa July 4, 177«. In the previous autumn two companies had been raised In the valley and bad been ordered to join General ocmr^irrrzn and destroyed. BuV ler reported taking 227 scalps and five prisoners, the English loss being two white men killed and eight wounded. deeds of cruelty roeity are said to have been ted by the tones on this occasion, and fhe whole valley was left a scene of desolation. But it is not true that women and children were massacred. On the fourth day of July, 1780, continental currency notes were worth two cents on the dollar, and, it was said, "a wagonload of paper money was required to pay for a wagonload of provisions." Nothing could well give a more vivid notion of the desperate situation of the Revolutionary cause at that period. On the Fourth of July, 1828, Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence, died, aged eighty-three, just fifty years from the date of that historic document. On the same day died John Adams, second president of the United States, aged ninety-one. James Monroe also died on the Fourtff of July, 1831, his age being seventy-three. On the fourth day of July, 1848, the treaty of peace with Mexico was proclaimed at Washington. And on the same day the cornerstone of the Washington monument was laid with great pomp and ceremony. Money for building it had been subscribed by individuals, but the sum thus obtained proved so far inadequate that the structure remained a mere stump, only about one-third its present height, until 1881, when congress ap- • float baring heard of the hostffitftss with jfsiiriii, had sailed Imisnill frees JsTessrlsi for California, ho toft jnasHriaa of the try aad raised the American fli a*S oWWusntfimty.

There was a-similar and even more important ceremony in Washington on July 4, 1851, when President Fillmore Initiated by the laying of a cornerstone the construction of the two great white marble wings of the capt to 1. There was an impressive assemblage of dignitaries and an oration was made by Daniel Webster, then secretary of state. Of special Interest was the presence of a few persons who had witnessed the laying of the first cornerstone of the capitol by Washington on the eighteenth day of September, 1793. On the fourth day of July, 1533, John Fryth, an English preacher, was burned at Smithfield for the heresy of Lutheranlsm. July 4. 1450, was the day on which Jack Cade plundered the city of London or a portion thereof, beheading Baron Say and Sole and murdering several other personages of Importance. Cade had fled from England for some crime; but after serving in the French wars he went back to that country and settled in Kent under the assumed name of Aylmer, marrying a lady of good position. When the men of Sent rose In rebeflkm. in May, 1480, he led them.

In one spot eight English walnut trees were uprooted. The eight formed almost a perfect-circle and the ninth tree, which stood directly in the center, was left standing, although the ground around it shows that the roots were torn loose from the earth. Forty-three mature walnut trees were uprooted in the Phillips grove by the same storm. The twister also lifted the cap from the manhole on top of the Phillips ranch house, and a few milea farther west it passed through a big walnut groove, uprooting every tree in one row and not turning a leaf on any of the others.—New York Sun. seeing Is Believing.

The growth of the crop during-the past week was very satisfactory. Rain (ell In many places during the early part of the week, followed by warmer weather, which has been most beneficial to the grain. Breaking and summer- fallowing were well under way, and conditions generally were most promising. The following reports have been received by the department from the various centers: Denholm—A little rain needed in the northern part to start late grain; remainder of district plenty of moisture. Davidson—Ideal growing weather; a few farmers harrowing grain to conserve moisture by breaking crust formed since last rain. North Battleford to Prince Albert- Good growing weather; crops looking well. Slight damage near North Battleford from cutworms; recent rains oeneflcial. Kindersley—Crops looking fine and prospects good; plenty of moisture, with prospects of more rain. Every slough in this country is full. Prince Albert—Crops in fair condition, though cutworms and light frosts have done damage In some sections. Have had moderate quantity of rain. Owing to prompt marketing of the harvest of 1914, the farmers were enabled to devote more time than usual to cultivation in the autumn, under conditions which were decidedly favorable, and that, combined with the opportunities for soil preparation presented by an early spring this year, has resulted in the seeding of a wheat area estimated at twenty-five per cent greater than last year. Areas sown to oats and flax may be less than last year, because of the concentration upon the cereal in greater demand for export. Wheat seeding was completed eight days earlier than the average, under almost ideal conditions. Alberta. "Prospects excellent. Abundant moisture throughout the province, following rain. Area thirty to thirty-nve per cent greater. Crop generally two weeks earlier." Attention is drawn to the fact that the land has not been in such fine condition to work for years; neither has t there been as much moisture as there was last autumn. This was protected during the winter by a little more than the average snowfall, which remained on the land, not being removed by the warm chinook winds, as is usually the case. There never has been a more optimistic feeling than exists today, judging by the information received from various parts of-the province. We feel justified in saying that the crop never went in under more favorable circumstances; weather splendid and land particularly well worked. While it is true that the acreage win be greatly increased, It Is pleasing to learn that, despite the high price of feed, the receipts of milk and cream at the dairies continue to keep up, and that the output of the creameries has increased is quantity. One of the most encouraging things in last year's work was the increase of practically thirty per cent in the output of cream and batter south of Calgary. Manitoba. Owing to the exceptionally early harvest last year and favorable fall weather, a much larger acreage of land was prepared than vasal, and partly for the same reason and the prospects of atgk prices for aft kinds of gram, fanners took more pains in the preparation of land, so that the spring opened up with 1^36,006 acres of fair/ prepared land above the previous year, needing was general by the 7th of April, some days in advance 3ftaee that time the has the sowing of wheat, and the have taken fall advantage of of the crop U now above m* rainfall; this will of the recently | and wfil prevent the aofl } oft the later aosn m whoatfefnfty U LOME BEA] *3 aivd 5hrvib] _ TheirTare and CuluVatieav tit-til .«***& % &? Japanese Irjer^ THE IRIS EASY TO GROW By C. BE8TCHER. Of all plants the most indifferent to all conditions and environments, soils and care, none yields the product that the Iris does, and with high culture it is Just that much more satisfactory for the added attention. In all garden operations one should observe natural conditions of growth, as this with added good care will lead to success. The Germanic type of Iris is, in many ways, an especially desirable plant It is most desirable as a garden flower or for cutting, as they keep especially well in the hot sun. Many people say "Oh, nags, they are so common." However, when they see a collection in good colors they very soon decide differently. Many growers go to far more trouble than is necessary in making preparations for planting many subjects. For all plants we recommend giving the soil a coat of manure in the fall, the fresher the better. Apply it at once several Inches thick—if the soU is very poor, if good give only an inch thickness. When this thaws out rake it so that the fine particles sre taken out Do this several times between now and spring time, so the elements are well incorporated with the soil. 8pade when the ground Is in good shape—if possible, do so before freezing is over, for when spaded so the frost will penetrate It deeply, pulverising it so it is soft and pliable, the plants will do much better. For German Iris, plant the roots deeply; but the bulb should be COTTOUT ferns to be at their best next winter, should be repotted late in the summer. About two inches increase in the diameter of the pot is required. A compost can be secured from the florist or made at home. A good garden aofl mixed with barnyard or commercial fertiliser is all that is needed. Too little of the fertiliser is better than too much, which wffl burn the roota. Broken bits of crockery must be placed oyer the hole in the bottom of the pot. Three inches of flirt la them placed over this and leveled ready for the plant In removing the plant from the oftdhe taken chaf the To avoid this, atitte the sides of the pot lightly bat tnaly with a UoweL A sharp blow em the oawa should cause the son and noot to i s placed at on— hi the new pot and ered very lightly unless planting late in the fall or very early in the spring, when they should be planted about two inches below the soil level. At other times Just barely cover them. When hoeing in the summer it is well not to draw much soil to them, as it is liable to rot them at certain times when they are more subject to this decay than others, when deeply covered with soil; and doubly so after they become larger. All the culture they need is to have the soil kept free from weeds and hoed very lightly or raked just so the crust is broken and kept loose- About November 1, before freesing begins, give them a good hoeing and a light dressing of manure after the hoeing. Plant or divide at any time. The Japan Iris requires much different treatment, while very easily handled when their requirements are understood, yet they are somewhat fickle. The best results are obtained when the soil is very rich, well watered and kept hoed at an times. Never allow weeds to attain any start in their beds as they cannot resist the encroachments of stronggrowing weeds. Plant them deeply so that the crowns are fully three inches below the soil level. Plant very early in the spring, just when the growth is showing or late in October. Water well after doing i t They may be planted at almost any time if the soil is allowed to adhere to the roots and kept well dampened for at least two weeks. In fact, they should never be allowed to become dry. Give them deep hoeing and good mulching of manure during August or September, and hoe it into the sofl thoroughly. Ferns should be planted in early spring or early autumn when not in growth but ma7 be planted in summer 1 if properly pruned "Encaged the rooms for my holiday," he aaM, "because the landlady wrote me that they overlooked a superb garden of 400 acres, richly adorned with where 1 was at Uberty to "Well?"

For two y e a r s I could not stand on my f e e t long at a time and I could not walk two blocks without enduring cutting and drawing pains down my right side which i n c r e a s e d every month, I have been at that time purple in the face and would walk the floor.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, July 7, 1915 No. 28 Pinckney Chautauqua July 21, 22 and 2 3 '5 Only two weeks more now and oor great Chautauqua entertainers will be with us. Three days of high class entertainment Nothing like this hat ever before been given in Pinckney. The coarse will compare favorably with any given in the larger towns and all at such a low price, $1.00, that no one can afford to miss it. Last year we had the Old BoyB and Girls reunion and everyone laid aside work and care and came to town on two different days, so this year in place of that celebration we have the Chautauqua, which wiU be as enjoyable and perhaps more profitable. As last year the places of business and private residences were decorated, so this year we hope to decorate the town in like manner and make it a memorable occasion in every way. If you have not secured your season ticket, do so at once at Meyer's drug store or of the local committee. We urge this also, as the sale of reserved seats will begin Saturday, July 17.

It la especially the year of triumph for Premier Shigenobu Okuma, leader of the party of the people, and for his war cry, "Asia for the Asiatics." There has been a little discontent at the "compromise" with China. This was bound to be so in the most warlike nation on earth. But Japanese who are better informed know there has been no compromise. Group V may have been left "for later discussion/' but the Japanese leaders will exact every demand embodied in it from time to time. Thus Okuma, the one-legged- grand old man of Japan, sees his great idea coming to fruition. He knows the Japanese people will willingly spend their blood like water. All Japan has needed for conquest is money. Japanese strategy is not of the year cr the decade, but of the century and the millennium. Money, but not enough, has come out of Korea and South Manchuria. Money—money for battleships and 8lege" guns, for submarines and aeroplanes—will now flow from China into Japan. Centuries ago untutored Japan made conquests on the mainland and adopted Chinese culture. Sixty years ago she threw off the culture of Japan tor the efficiency of the West Now she will go a step farther and with Iron fist impose western efficiency on China. Modern wars are fought with fac* tortes. With 400,000,000 Chinese laboring to supply munitions of war In her rear, sixty millions of Japanese will present the front of their warrior nation to the white race and tell it to get out of the western Pa^flc— and some day will tell the French to get out of Cochin China and the British to get out of India. These are the alms of Okuma. They are not hazy national aspirations, but active policies that Japan is working every minute of her time to carry out Okuma proclaimed them openly and loudly when he was of the party of the opposition. On this platform of militarism he won his campaign in the spring of 1914 and ousted the Yarnsmoto party. For a year he has been in control and his hold Is stronger than ever. Being at the head of the nation his words soften. He exudes honey to Great Britain and sends messages breathing the spirit of peace to the United States. Japan is not deceived. They have long seen these two irreconcilable currents of expression •flow from Okuma's mouth—and they know which one to believe. They believe only the one which accords with the spirit of the samurai, the "two sword man." In Japan both the nobles and the commoners are militaristic. Okuma is a noble, but he has chosen to lead the commoners. Perhaps this is because he came from neither of the two leading clans which for many years controlled Japan, but of a weaker clan, the Hizen. Throughout his lite be has fought against the dan system and in favor of the constitutional monarchy, now for years strongly established. At seventy-seven. Okuma is still fiery and energetic, He was a boy of twenty, living in a small Japanese town, when the visit of Commodore Perry and the granting of treaty rights to foreigners by the shognn set an Japan to talking about the "redhaired" barbarians Okuma had a great curiosity to learn about the world outside Japan.

The government in 1881 promised to summon a national diet grant a constitution and limit the imperial prerogative. In 1890. Okuma then formed the Progressive party, forerunner of the present National party, and was for many years its president Aside from his constant political activities, he founded Waseda -university in Tokyo in 1882 and was for many years its president. He saw it grow to house 5,400 students, with s first-class baseball team. It was not until Japan had settled her domestic troubles and put her house in order that the foreign policy developed. In this line progress has been perhaps faster than In Importing western ways of manufacture and living. And It was after the great victory over Russia, following the easy humbling of China, that Okuma's really truculent utterances began to appear. In 1908, when Japan was troubled by the United States sending the American fleet into the Pacific, he said to an American newspaper man: "Nothing can be more dreaded than crazy people, and the Japanese are a crazy nation. In fighting they will go on like mad, as was well illustrated in the late war. The Japanese are always ready to throw away their lives for the glory of the state; they regard their lives as light as the weather. On the other hand. Americans and Europeans attach too much importance to money; those who love money love their lives. Suppose the Americans and J a p a n e s e— whose ideas of death are fundamentally different—should come to fighting. The final result will be easily foretold." Although not so truculent just at present * Count Okuma for several years In the caucuses of his party, In his newspaper organs, and in the familiar conversations which he was wont to hold with the former pupils of his great school, had a habit of speaking of the United States very much as he spoke of Russia In the years before the war. as a great power which win have to be humbled to secure the salvation of Japan. Even before the Russian war the count said: MA Japanese must be respected wherever he goes. We yield to no* one, not even to the Romans. In pride in citizens and citizenship." The British probably have not forgotten Okuma's famous outburst in which he said: "Being oppressed by the Europeans, the three hundred million people of India are looking for Japanese protection. The Japanese ought to go to India, the South ocean and the other parts of the world." Nor will anyone who knows Japan's history doubt that she intends to hold Kiauchau, the Carolines. Marianne and Marshall Islands In the South Pacific. She took these from Germany and already some capital is being invested and experts have been sent from the ministries of agriculture and commerce to study the question of the exploitation of these islands.

The North American commetting on the significance of the action as indicating the trend of sentiment, says: "Coming as it does from a committee of men representing the state government and by one sweeping blow striking liquor from the menu of a banquet at which probably 500 of the nation's most prominent men participated the action stands, it is believed, without precedent. The ruling also is absolutely final as the state commission has complete control over the arrangements for the banquet which is to be paid for out of funds appropriated by the last legislature." From a representative viewpoint the banquet was one of the most notable ever held in Philadelphia. £ ither the Secretary ojf War or Secretary of the Interior will probably represent President Wilson, and Thomas A.

Morgan Wounded By Same Man Who Put Bomb In Capitol Building FRANK HOLT HAD INSANE PLAN TO STOP GREAT WAR Mighty Educated Man Thought He Could Hold Mrs. Morgan and Children Hostage* While He Forced Mr. Morgan to Stop Munition Shipment*. OBJECT OF ATTACK OF ICTtlliTD CCMDCC UNBALANCED FANATIC O l U t n i U f EaWtrCd Glen Cove, L. I.—Frank Holt, a crack-bralred teacher of German in Cornell university, obsessed by the idea that God had appointed him' to stop the shipment of war supplies U> the Allies, tried to murder J. P. Mor •ran Saturday morning after attempting on Friday night to wreck the capftol at Washington with a dynamite bomb. The New v0rk and Washington police have Information which leads them to be;* eve that be planned next to go to Cornish, New Hampshire, and attempt the life of President Wilson. Holt forced his way into Mr. Morgan's house on East island, three and a half miles from Glen Cove, at 9:20 o'clock Saturday morning, drove the butler before him by the menace of a revolver, searched the house until he found Mr. and Mrs. Morgan on the second floor and then Mr. Morgan and Mrs. Morgan attempted to disarm him, fired two shots. One bullet entered the lower right side of Mr. Morgan's abdomen and lodged near the base of the spine. The other pierced the right groin, ranged downward through the flesh of the thigh and passed out of Mr. Morgan's body. Mrs. Morgan Displays Courage. He owes his life very likely to the courage and quickness of Mrs. Morgan who, the first to detect Holt lurking in the shadows of the upper hallway, literally flung herself at the man and so dlsburhed his aim that he had no opportunity to shoot straight. Mr. Morgan himself overpowered Holt, and, with the assistance of servants, tied him and trussed him with ropes after the Morgan butler Henry Flake, had thumped him soundly over the head with the first handy weapon available, a lump of coal. Then Mr. Morgan, after calmly assuring his house guests, the British ambassador and Lady Spring-Rice, who had witr nessed th* desperate struggle on the second floor landing, that he was not badly hurt and after telephoning to bit mother and to William H. Porter, one of Ms partners, himself telephoned to Dr. William H. Zabriskie, of Glen Cove, simply telling him that he had been shot and asking Dr. Zabriskie to come at once to the bouse. J. P. MORGAN. Holt Confesses to Pol lee. Holt was taken to the Nassau county Jail at Mlncola where he confessed to having been responsible for the explosion in the reception room in the east wing of the eapltol at Washington which did considerable damage and created quite a stir throughout the country. Holt laid that he left the house in Washington where he rented a room, taking the dynamite with him and walked around the eapltol grounds. He then walked up the steps leading to the main entrance of the eapltol and strolled through the corridors without meeting a guard or a polieexnen. He spent about half an hour in the building, he added, looking for a spot to place his bomb where its explosion would not injure any one or cause great damage to the building. "I didn't want to hurt anybody," ha said. "1 just wanted to call the attention of the nation to the terrible sawders committed in Europe. And I didn't want to damage the eapltol any more than was necessary." ! 'After placing the bomb. Holt walked slowly away. He went back to his room, he said, sand to the Union station. He also walked about the streets for a while. Then he decided to write to the newspapers and the president and explain way he had set the bomb. He did this, he said, before the exploded and mailed the letters, the early evening. The letters to newspapers and to at the White he refused to tefl self. I planned it I executed it Nobody knew anything about it but myself." Would Seize Mrs. Morgan and Children. Holt told Police Commissioner Woods Sunday in the Nassau county Jail at Mineola, the real plan he had formed to overawe Mr. Morgan to stop the shipment of war supplies to the Allies. It was as hair-brained a scheme as ever bubbled in the brain of a fanatic, as Holt calmly and with an obvious desire for sympathy and praise, revealed it to Mr. Woods. This doctor of philosophy and cultivated scholar had believed it possible to seize Mrs. J. P. Morgan and the three Morgan children, drive them before him until he found Mr. Morgan keep them between him and Mr. Morgan until he had made the terms he desired, and then lock himself in a room with them and hold them as hostages until Mr. Morgan returned with the assurance that no more arms and munitions would be shipped to Europe. Even Mr. Woods, a fairly keen Judge of men, could not be quite certain that Holt was talking Beriously as he unwound the fantastic scheme he had formulated to use Mrs. Morgan and the children. Henry Sturgis Morgan, Prances Morgan and Jane Morgan. And yet the man seemed to be utterly serious and entirely chagrined that the plan had not been successful. FROM SUBMARINE ANGLO-CALIFORNIAN LOSE8 NINE MEN IN FURIOUS FIGHTING. SEAMANSHIP SAYES BOAT Captain Pilots Ship So That Torpedo Cannot Be Used and Succeeds Though Losing His Own Life. GENERAL DIAZ DIES IN PARIS London—The first instance since the war began of a steamer escaping from a submarine while actually under attack was reported Monday from Queenstown when the British steamer Anglo-Californian arrived there with her captain and eight men dead and eight others injured. Among the dead and injured are said to be several American and Canadian members of the crew. The Anglo-Californian, which was bound from Montreal for Liverpool, is said to have been bringing a cargo of horses and war material to England. She is a 7,333 ton vessel and carried a crew of about 100 men. The fight with the German submarine lasted four hours before the steamer escaped. The steamer's escape from destruction was accomplished with no other means of defense tha nthe Indomitable spirit of her captain and crew, combined with masterly seamanship, which enabled her to frustrate the efforts of her assailant to torpedo her. The Anglo-Californian left Montreal for the British Isles on June 24. The submarine was sighted at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Captain Pars low ordered full steam ahead and wireless calls for assistance were sent out The submarine on the surface proved to be a far speedier craft than the steamer and rapidly overhauled her, meanwhile deluging her with shells. One shot put the wireless apparatus on the Anglo-Californian out of action, finding he could not escape by running for it Captain Parslow devoted all his attention to maneuvering his ship so as to prevent the submarine from using torpedoes effectively. Former Master of Mexico Passes Away At Age of Eighty-five. Paris—General Porflrio Dias, former president of Mexico, died at 7 o'clock Friday evening. General Dias had been in falling health- since reaching Europe in 1911 after his resignation from the presidency of Mexico, following the successful Madero revolution. Last fall he was ill at Biarritz, France, but was reported to have recovered. He had consistently declined to comment on the passing phases of the Mexican situation. General Diaz began to fail rapidly about three weeks ago and while his death was not unexpected, owing to his advanced age and recent falling health, the crisis came suddenly. Porfirlo Diaz was born in the city of Oaxaca, In the southern part of Mexico, which was also the birth place of Benito Juarez, September 15, 1830. *e was -*e,~ he e. I Ubly Farmer Is Killed. Ubly.—John Kelley, son of William Keiley, a farmer living northeast of here, received injuries when he was thrown from his motorcycle in front of an automobile which resulted in his death a few hours later. Kelley attempted to turn out of the road to allow an automobile to pass, but in doing, so lost control of his machine and was pitched over th£ handle, bars directly in the path of the oncoming automobile. The wheels of the automobile ran over his body, crushing him internally. Big Fire at Port Huron. Port Huron—The Grand Trunk freight sheds at the foot of Thomas street ,at which the steamers of the Port Huron & Duluth Steamship company unloaded, were destroyed by fire late Monday afternoon, entailing a loss estimated at from $260,000 to $425,000.

"He made no other remark about the young lady's death?" I inquired anxiously. "No. Only he sighed, and looked steadily for a long time at the photograph. I saw his lips moving, but his words were Inaudible." "You haven't any idea of the reason why he called upon Mr. Leithcourt, I suppose?" "From what he said, I've formed my own conclusions," was her answer: "And what is your opinion?"

He called here in a fly on the day he came out, and at bis request I took him over the castle. He went into the library and spent half an hour in pacing across It, taking measurements and examining the big cupboard In which he was found insensible. It was a strange affair, sir," added the young woman, "wasnt ltf" "Very," I replied. T h e gentleman might have been In there now had I not gone into the library and found a lot of illustrated papers, which I always put in the cupboard to keep the place tidy, thrown out on to the floor. I went to put them back, but discovered the door locked. The key I afterwards found in the grate, where Mr. Leithcourt had evidently thrown it, and on opening the door imagine the shock I had when I found the visitor lying doubled up. I, of course, thought he was dead." "And when he returned here on his recovery, did he question you?" "Oh, yea. He asked about the Lelthcourts, and especially about Miss Muriel. I believe he's rather sweet on her, by the way he spoke. And really no better or kinder lady ever breathed, I'm sure. We're all very sorry indeed for her." "He came Into this room, I suppose?" 'Tea, sir," she responded, with Just a slight hesitation, I thought "This was the room where he stayed the longest There was a photograph in that frame over there," she added, indicating the frame that had held the picture of Elma Heath, "a portrait of a young lady, which he begged me to give him." "And you gave it to him?" I cried qnlckly. "Well—yet, sir. He begged so hard for i t saying that it was the portrait of a friend of hie." "And he gave you something handsome for it—ehr The young woman, whom 1 knew could not refuse half-aeovereign, colored slightly and smiled. "Be didn't ten yon who the young lady wee, I suppose?"

"It is the fault of the clerk at the consulate general "You should have examined It before leaving. Tou must send it to London, and return to Stockholm by tonight's boat" "But this is outrageous!" I cried, as he had already taken the papers of a passenger behind me and was looking at them with unconcern. "Enough!" he exclaimed, glaring at me, "You will return tonight, or if you choose to,stay you will be arrested for landing without a passport" "I shall not go back!" I declared defiantly. "Your consul general vised my passport and I claim, under international law, to be allowed to proceed without hindrance." "The steamer leaves at six o'clock," he remarked without looking up. "If you are in Abo after that remember it will be at your own risk." "Yes," I said menacingly, "I shall recollect if* And I turned and went out of the little wooden office. 8ix o'clock came. I heard the steam siren of the departing boat bound for Sweden, but I was determined to remain there at whatever cost therefore I returned to the hotel, and at seven dined comfortably in company with a German who had been my fellow-passenger across from Stockholm. At eight o'clock, however, Just as we were idling over dessert two graycoated police officers entered and arrested me on the serious charge of landing without a passport I accompanied them to the police office, where I was ushered into the presence of the big, bristly Russian I Show My Hand. who held the town of Abo in terror, On my return to London next day 11 the chief of police.

That sweet-pictured face haunted mo as no other fade had ever Impressed itself upon my memory.

That letter waa, dhe wftte to bar " A ~ - f t hal Fit fas imeUmsjih in ***- r ~ — A - ' trTTipjisj s j i i i i JL.11 in this rooa*" the dowas lying at Palermo, therefore I telegraphed to Jack Durnford. and late the same afternoon bis reply came at the Cecil: atD dueu bin t Lhoant deovne ntwinegn tiJetahc.k . Dine with me The twentieth! That meant nearly a month of inactivity. In that time I could cross to Abo, make inquiries there, and ascertain, perhaps, If Elma Heath were actually dead as Chater had declared. Two facts struck me as remarkable: Baron Oberg was said to be Polish, while the dark-bearded proprietor of the restaurant in Westboume Grove was also of the same nationality. Then I recollected that pretty little enameled cross that Mackenzie had found in Rannoch Wood, and It suddenly occurred to me that it might possibly be the miniature of one of the European orders of chivalry. In the club library at midnight I found a copy of Cappellctti's Storla degli Ordinl Cavallereschi, the standard work on the subject and on searching the illustrations I at length discovered a picture of i t It was a Russian order— the coveted Order of Saint Anne, bestowed by the caar only upon persons who have rendered eminent services to the state and to the sovereign, One fact was now certain* namely, that the owner of that tiny cross, the small replica of the fine decoration, must be a person of high official standing. The autumn days were dull and rainy, and the streets were muddy and unpleasant as they always are at the fall of the year. Compelled to remain inactive. I idled in the dub with the recollection of that pictured face ever before me—the face of the unfortunate girl who wished her last message to be conveyed to Philip Hornby. What, I wondered, was her secret? What was really her fate? This latter question troubled me until I could hear ft s o longer. I feit that it was my duty to go to Finland and endeavor to learn •"tntMitng regarding this Baron Oberg and his niece. Duty—the duty of a man who had learned strange facts and knew that a defenseless women was a called me.

"Perhaps you will now kindly give my passport a proper vise." In an instant he gave it the proper vise, affixing the stamps. "I trust excellency/' he said, bowing low as he handed it to me, "I trust that this affair wiU not trouble you further. I assure you I had no intention of insulting you." He held the letter I had given him gingerly with trembling fingers.

Beneath was the sprawling signature of the ruler of one hundred and thirty millions of people, that signature that was all-powerful from the Gulf of Bothnia to the Pacific—"Nicholas." The document was the one furnished to me a year before when, at the invitation of the Russian government I had gone on a mission of inquiry into the state of the prisons In order to see, on behalf of the British public, whether things were as black as some writer had painted them. Sight of It had changed the chief of police from a burly bully into a whining coward, for he saw that he had torn up the passport of a guest of the csar, and the consequence was most serious if I complained. He begged of me to pardon him, urging all manner of excuses, and humbling himself before me as well as before bis two inferiors, who now regarded me with awe. "I will atone for the insult In any way your high excellency desires," declared the official. "I will serve your excellency in any way he may command." His words suggested a brilliant Idea. I had this man in my power; he feared me. "Well," I said after some reluctance, '"there is a little matter In which you might be of some assistance. If you will, I will reconsider my decision of complaining to Petersburg." "And what is that, excellency?" he gasped eagerly. "I desire to know the whereabouts of a young English lady named Elma Heath," I said, and I wrote down the name for him upon a piece of paper. Age about twenty, and was at school at Chichester, In England. She is a niece of a certain Baron Oberg." "Baron Oberg!" he repeated, looking at me rather strangely, I thought. "Yes, as she is a foreigner she will be registered in your books. She is somewhere In your province, but where I do not know. Tell me where she Is, and I will say nothing more about my passport" I added. 'Then your excellency wishes to see the young lady?" he said reflectively, with the paper In his hand. "Yes." "In that case, it being commanded by the emperor that I shall serve your excellency, I will have Immediate inquiries made," was his answer. "When I discover her whereabouts, I will do myself the pleasure of calling at your excellency's hotel." And I left the fellow, very satisfied that I had turned his offlciousness and hatred of the English to very good account On the morning of the third day after my arrival at Abo, while sitting on the hotel veranda reading an old copy of the Paris Journal, many portions of which had been "blacked out" by the censor, the chief of police, in his dark green uniform, entered and saluted before me. "Your excellency, may I be permitted to apeak with you in private?" "Certainly," I responded, rising and conducting him to my bedroom, where I closed the door, invited- him to a sent, and myself sat upon the edge of the bed. 1 have made various inquiries," he said, "and I think Ihave found the lady your excellency is seeking. My information, however, must be furnished to you in strictest confidence," he added, "because there are reasons why I should withhold her whereabouts from yon." "What do yon mean?'' I inquired- "What reasons?" "Well—Che lady is living In Finland a secret" is alive!" I quickly. "I thought she v.,n "To the world she to dead," reapoaeV ed lUehae! BoransK stroking his red at reaeea the I ddve yea anst be treated as "And this Baron Oberg? You teU me nothing of him," I said with dissatisfaction. "How can 1 when I know nothing, excellency?" was his response. I felt certain that the fellow was not speaking the truth, for I had noticed bis surprise when I had first uttered the mysterious nobleman's name. "As I have already said, excellency, I am desirous of atoning for my Insult, and will serve you in every manner I can. For that reason I had sought news of the young English lady—the Mademoiselle Heath." "But you have all foreigners registered in your books," I said. "The search was surely not a difficult one. I know your police methods In Russia too well," I laughed. "j "I regret that much as I desire, I dare not appear to have any connection with your quest But I will direct you. Indeed, I will give you a person to take you to her. If I could find the man, you might go today. Yet it is a long way, and you would not return before tomorrow." "The roads are safe, I suppose? I don't mind driving in the night" The official glanced at the clock, and rising exclaimed: "Very well, I will send for the man. If we find him, then the carriage will be at the east* era end of the quay in two hours." "At noon. Very welL I shall keep the appointment." "And after seeing her, you will of course keep your promise of secrecy regarding our little misunderstanding?" he asked anxiously. "I have already given my word," was the response;, and the man bowed and left much, I think, to the surprise of the hotel proprietor and his staff. It was an unusual thing for such a high official as the chief of police to visit one of their guests In person. If he desired to interview any of them, he commanded them to attend at his -office, or they were escorted there by his gray-coated agents. I think I must have waited half an hour on the quay when my attention was suddenly attracted by the rattle of wheels over the stones, and turning 1 saw an old closed carriage drawn by three horses abreast with bells upon the harness, approaching me rapidly. When It drew up, the driver, a burly-looking, fair-headed Finn in a huge sheepskin overcoat motioned me to enter, urging in broken Russian: "Quickly, excellency—quickly—you must not be seen!" And then the instant I was seated, and before I could close the door, the horses plunged forward and we were tearing at full gallop out of the town. After five miles or so, the driver pulled up and descended to readjust his harness, whereupon I got out and asked him in the best Russian I could command : "The chief of police has given you directions?" I asked. "His high excellency has told me exactly what to do," was the man's answer, as he took out his huge wooden pipe and filled it "You wish to see the young lady?" "Yes," I answered, "to first see her, and I do not know whether it will be necessary for me to make myself known to her. Where is she?" "Beyond Nystad," was his vague answer with a wave of his big fat hand in the direction of the dark pine for est that stretched before us. "We shall be there about an hour after sundown." The short day quickly drew to a close, the sun sank yellow and watery over the towering pines through which we went mile after mile, a dense, interminable forest wherein the wolves lurked in winter, often rendering the road dangerous. When night drew on we changed horses again at a small, dirty postaonse in the forest at the edge of a lake, and then pushed forward again, although it was already long pest the hour at which he had said we should arrive. Time passed slowly In the darkness. I suppose I mast have slept for I was awakened by a light shining into my face and the driver shaking me by the shoulder. When I roused myself he placed his finger mysteriously upon a y lips, saying: "Hash, your high .nobility, hush! Gome with me.* Bat make no noise. If we are discovered, It means death for us death. Come, give me your hand. Slowly. Tread softly. See, here is the boat. I wfB get ia first We shall not be heard upon the water. So."

He has a sign board posted on a tree in front of his residence which is about four feet from top to bottom. This sign has his name and the name of his farm at the top followed by these words "For Sale" with a space below to write a list of anything he has for sale. Lower down on the board appears the words "Wanted" with a suitable space for letting those who pass his home know his wants from time to time.— Howell Tidings. The editor of this paper can tell Charles of at least a dozen different farmers in this section who have his scheme beaten a mile.

TREE IS FOE OF MOSQUITO Professor Plants Eucalyptus, Which Ho Believes Will Help to Rid State of Two Posts. Mosquitoes had better give Pennsylvania a wide berth la the future, it Prot Henry G. Walter's eucalyptus trees begin to flourish. Recently the professor planted 500 seeds of this tree, which is a native of Australia, at his plant research institute at Langhome, Bucks county. He says they keep away mosquitoes and miasma. Professor Walters Is not certain that he can induce the tree to stand the Pennsylvania climate, but he's going to try. Unless they are treated chemically, they succumb usually to a temperature below 27 degrees. When they grow properly, they attain a height of 375 to 480 feet They have other values in addition to being mosgulto exterminators. The oil has a fragrant perfume. From tbe eucalyptus roetrata, or red gum, Professor Walters Bays a delicious beverage is obtained by steeping the blossoms in water. The tree species planted at Lang* home are the amygdallna, or peppermint gum; the rostrata, or red gum, and the globulus, or Tasmanian blue gum.

SHADE FOR THE FARM HOME An abundance of shade is one of the luxuries which every farm home can and should have. The city dweller is often a renter and^ must take things as they are. Or if he owns a home, the lot is restricted in slse, and large trees are an impossibility. But on the farm land for a commodious yard should always be reserved. Those having a grand old elm, maple, or oak to begin with, are fortunate, Indeed. But the idea that trees planted now of these species will be a comfort only to succeeding generations is quite a mistake. Most of the maples, and especially the sugar and red maples are of rapid growth, and at a few years at most will give an abundance of shade. Do not make the mistake of using fruit or nut trees In the yard. Both make a litter at certain seasons, which renders them a sort of nuisance entirely unnecessary. If you had no room for an orchard H would be a different matter. Tou want the yard for solid comfort, and not as a crop producer. Because the city man uses the horse chestnut for shade, do not follow his example. He does it because this tree is low growing and compact—just the thing where there is little room either on the ground or in, the air. With your broad expanse a more aspiring: species should be chosen, Besides the burs are a nuisance. There is nothing better on the farm lawn than native trees. They thrive admirably, and in every community there are those well worth attention. The maple in some form 1B widely disseminated. Its leaf is graceful in outline, the flowers and fruit are dainty, and the tree is charming In its autumn dress. The catalpa is a- favorite in parts of the West because of its quick growtfe. The flowers are also dainty. Tet there is never the stability of the oak, and the hammock is preferably hung from a more sturdy specimen. The tulip tree or white wood is one of the best of our native species, the queerly cut leaves, tulip-shaped flowers with their beautiful orange crescents marking each petal, and compact forms rendering them most useful shade trees. The tree Is a relative to the magnolia, and one of our most valuable timber trees. Do not neglect to include one or two evergreens, for the birds if not for yourself.' They do so enjoy the shelter of the leafy branches when caught in a belated snowstorm. The hemlock and cedar are the most pleasing of this class, their slender branches being much more graceful than the stiff spruces. By all means avoid the pines. Their gummy nature may lead to the ruin of valuable clothing. Remarkable Collection of I Plants, latlodiog Pitcher Plants.

It is better to be a Uve wire than a dead one, even if it is more shocking. Doctor Johnson's scathing Rejoinder to Socfal Pest Who Asked Hire Impertinent Questions. Dean Swift long ago analysed some of the ways in which people tire each other in conversation, says the Boston Herald. The man who talks constantly and exclusively about his business, his allings, his family, his books, his misfortunes, who always wants to prescribe for his acquaintances or advise them soon condemns himself to solitude even in the midst of numbers. Labeled once with the pregnant monosyllable, his way clears before him as by magic, for others cultivate the little strategies which keep them out of range. Yet any man may become a bore at times. A good deal depends upon moods and circumstances. Poetic Justice indeed would require Mutt bores be extinguished by enforced, association with their own kind. The most severe social punishment inflicted upon one of the species by a great man who had not acquired the fatal facility which tolerates fools was administered by Doctor Johnson. Said the bore: "My dear doctor, what would you give to be as young and sprightly JM I am?" Thundered the lexicographer in reply: "Why, sir, I would almost be content to be as foolish." She Was No Labor Saver, A traveling man was eating in a stuffy little restaurant one very hot summer day. There were no screens at the windows or the door. The proprietress herself waited on her customers and shooed flies from the table at the same-time.

"Well, yes, I s'pose that would help some," replied the woman, after thinking a moment "but 'twould look mighty lacy HkaM—Youth's Companion, The Secret. T h i s is very confidential, Marian."

DAISY FLY K3LLE1 tSS STSS S Many farmers and poultry fanciers have found it profitable to turn all their Burplus cockerels Into capons by altering or castrating them; others think they can do better by selling the cockerels as broilers as long as prices hold up and caponize only laterhatched chicks. The capon or castrated rooster bears the same relation t o * cockerel that a steer does to a bull, a barrow to a boar, or a wether to a ram. As with other male animals so altered, the disposition of the capon differs materially from that of the cockerel. As a result of the more peaceful disposition of the cSpon he continues to grow and his body develops more uniformly and to a somewhat greater size than is the case with a cockerel of the same age. Time to Caponize. In so far as the effects of the operation and the rapidity and ease of healing are concerned, the time of year when the-operation is performed is of little importance. The age and size of the cockerel, however, are very important As Boon as the cockerels weigh two to three pounds, or when two to four months old, they should be operated upon. Operation of Canonizing. Before beginning the operation two conditions are absolutely essential. If these are not favorable, do not attempt to operate. The first of these is that the intestines of the fowl should be completely empty,«eo that they will fall away and expose the testicle to view. This can be accomplished by shutting up the fowls and withholding all food and water for twenty-tour to thirty-six hours before the operation. Thirty-six hours is better than twentyfour, especially for a beginner. The second condition is a good, strong light so that the organs of the fowl may be clearly and easily distinguished. Direct sunlight is best for this, and In consequence it is well to operate out of doors on a bright day. Methods of Holding the Fowl. When ready to operate, catch the bird and pass a noose of strong string about the legs. Do the same with both wings close to the shoulder joints. To the other end of the strings are attached weights of sufficient size to hold down and stretch out the bird when placed upon the head of a barrel or box of convenient height which is to serve as operating table. Having fastened the fowl, be sure that all the Instruments are at hand. It is also well, though not necessary, to nave ready some absorbent cotton and a dish of water to which has been added a few drops of carbolic acid Having once started, carry the opera* Uon through as quickly as possible. Moisten and remove the feathers from a small a n a over the last two ribs Just In front of the thigh. With the UTILIZE MANY SP'RE HOURS left hand slide the skin and flesh down toward the thigh. Holding it thus. make the Incision between the lust two ribs, holding the edge of the knife away from you as you stand back of the fowl. Lengthen the incision in each direction until It is one to tine and a half inches long. Now insert the spreader into the incision, thus springing the ribs apart The intestines will now be visible, covered by a thin membrane called the omentum. Tear apart this membrane with the hook, and the upper testicle, yellow or sometimes rather dark colored and about the size and shape of an ordinary bean, should be visible close up against the backbone. By pushing aside the intestines this can easily be seen, and the lower one also, in a similar position on the other side of the backbone. Expert operators usually remove testicles through one incision. Inexperienced operators will usually find it well to attempt the removal of the upper or nearer testicle only and to make a second incision on the opposite side of the body for the removal of the other testicle. If both testicles are to be removed through the same Incision, remove the lower first, as the bleeding from the upper might be sufficient to obscure the lower. Each testicle Is enveloped In a thin membrane. This may be and probably is best removed with the testicle, though some operators tear It open and remove the testicle only. The delicate part of the operation is at hand, due to the close proximity of the spermatic artery, which runs back of the testicle and to which the testicle is in part attached. If this is ruptured the fowl will bleed to death. The cannula, threaded with a coarse horseheir or fine wire. Allow the hair or wire protruding from the end to form a small loop just large enough to slip over the testicle. Work this over the testicle, being careful to inclose the entire organ. Now tighten up on the free ends of the hair or wire, being careful not to touch any part of the artery. If the spermatic cord does not separate, saw lightly with the hair or wire. When the testicle ia free, remove it from the body. If only the up per testicle has been removed, turn the bird over and proceed in exactly the same manner upon the other side. After removing the testicle, if the bleeding is at all profuse it is well to remove a portion of the blood by introducing small pieces of absorbent cotton into the body by means of the hook or nippers, allowing them to bocome saturated and then removing them. Be sure to remove all blood clots, feathers or other foreign matter. After the testicles and all foreign matter are removed, take out the spreaders, thus allowing the akin to sUp back over the incision.

Rollln in uis ancient history says, "The government of Carthage was founded upon principles of the most consummate wisdom." And on the same page tbe historian makes this record la reference to the same people (the fortunes of war had gone against them): tlThey attributed this to tbe anger of their god, Saturn, because that, instead of offering up children nobly born, who were usually sacrificed to him, there had been fraudulently substituted in their stead the children of slaves and foreigners. To stone for this crime 200 children of the best fumfHes of Carthage were sacrificed to Saturn, besides which up. ward of 300 citizens from a sense of guilt of this pretended crime volunta* rily sacrificed themselves. Dlodorus adds that there was a brazen statue of Saturn, the hands of .which turned downward, so that when a child was laid on them it dropped immediately Into a hollow, where was a fiery furnace." We are Indebted to the Bible for the difference between that nation and this of today.—Christian Herald. An Ice Drydoek. Aii army engineer once gave a dem onstratiou on tbe Lake of the Woods, on the Canadian border, of the old saying that au engineer is a man whose business it is to do a task at half the cost others would incur. A dredge locked in the ice needed repairs nearly three feet below the water line. The surrounding Ice at the time was nearly two feet thick.

GERMANY S REPLY TO SECOND NOTE • U I M A R I N E TO BE INSTRUCTED TO A L L O W AMERICAN SHIPS TO PAS& FRIENDSHIP REITERATED Imperial Government Is W i l l i n g That Neutral Ships Shall Carry United States Citizens But Not Contraband. Washington—Germany's reply to America's second note on the Lusltanla affair is occupying the attention of the department of state at the present time. President Wilson, as on previous occasions, will consult public opinion before deciding on further action. The note signed by Van Jagow repeats assurances of friendship and of satisfaction in America's zeal for humanity and asserts that Germany is in hearty accord with the same principle. Great Britain is again blamed for the methods used in submarine warfare by reason of its attempt to blockade Germany. Blames England for LusJtanla. The following language is employed to Justify Germany in the sinking of the Lusitania: "The case of the Lusitania shows with horrible clearness to what Jeapordizlng of human lives the manner of conducting war employed by ear adversaries leads. In the most direct contradiction of international law, all distinctions between merchantmen and was vessels have been obliterated by the order to British merchantmen to arm themselves and to ram submarines, and the promise of rewards therefor, and neutrals who use merchantmen as travelers thereby have been exposed in an increasing degree to all the dangers of war. If the commander of the German submarine which destroyed the Lusitania had caused the crew and passengers jo take to the boats before firing a torpedo, this would have meant the sore destruction of his own vessel. Af» ter the experiences in sinking much •mailer and less seaworthy vesselB, It was to be expected that a mighty ship like the Lusitania would remain above water long enough, even after the torpedoing to permit passengers to enter the ship's boats. "Circumstances of a very peculiar .kind, especially the presence on board of large quantities of highly explosive materials dissipated such expectations. In addition it may be pointed out that if the Lusitania had been •pared, thousands of caees of munitions would have been sent to Germany's enemies and thereby thousands of German mothers and children would have been robbed of bread winners." Definite Offers Are Made. What Germany Is willing to do toward safeguarding Americans traveling the high seas on peaceful missions Is set forth as follows: "In the spirit of friendship wherewith the German nation has been imbued towards the Union and its inhabitants since the earliest days of its existence, the imperial government will always be ready to do all it can during the present war to prevent the Jeopardizing of lives of American citisens. The imperial government, therefore, repeats the assurances that American ships will not be hindered in the prosecution of legitimate shipping and the lives of American citizens in neutral vessels shall not be placed in jeopardy. "In order to exclude any unforeseen dangers to American passenger steamers, made possible in view of the conduct of maritime war by Germany's adversaries, German submarines win be Instructed to permit the free and safe passage of such passenger steamers when made recognisable by special markings and notified a reason* able time in advance. The imperial government, however, confidently hopes that the American government win assume to guarantee that these vsoseli have no contraband on board, fleuni of arrangement for the unhamof these vessels to be reed upoa by the naval authorities both SjMoe, "la order to furnish adequate facilities for travel across the Atlantic for American dtiseas, the German government submits for consideration a to Increase the number of avuflabto steamers by installing » a ber ef neutralIs—w under tko l a * tfce exact number to be tbe GENERAL BOTHA. London—It is claimed here that British campaign of conquest of German Southwest Africa has ended in complete victory. All the forces defending the kaiser's colony have surrendered to General Botha, premier of the Union of South Africa and commander of its military forces. Hostilities have ceased after operations lasting nine months. The captured territory contains the port of Angra Pequena, the first colonial possession obtained by the Germans in Africa. . m in I I d it can assume that in this manner adequate facilities for travel across the Atlantic ocean can be afforded American citizens. There would, therefore, appear to be no compelling necessity for American citizens to travel to Europe in time of war on ships carrying an enemy flag. Objects to Protection of Enemy. "In particular the imperial government is unable to admit that American cltitens can protect an enemy ship through the mere fact of their presence on board. "Germany merely followed England's example when she declared part of the high sea an area of war. Consequently, accidents suffered by neutrals on enemy ships in this area of war cannot well be judged differently from accidents to which neutrals are at all timee exposed at the seat of war on land when they betake themselves into dangerous localities In spite of previous warnings. "If, however, it should not be possible for the American government to acquire an adequate number of neutral passenger steamers, the imperial government is prepared to interpose no objections to the placing under the American flag by the American government of four enemy passenger steamers for passenger traffic between North America and England. "Assurances of 'free and safe' passage for American passenger steamers would extend to apply under the identical pro-conditions to these formerly hostile passenger steamers. "The president of the United States has declared his readiness, in a way deserving thanks, to communicate and suggest proposals to the government of Great Britain with particular reference to the alteration of marltime war. "The Imperial government will always be glad to make use of the good offices of the president and hopes that his efforts in the present case, as well as in the direction of the lofty ideals of the freedom of the seas, will lead to an understanding."

OPENS ROAD FROM YERA CRUZ Washington Officials Gratified That Food Supplies Can Now Be Sent to Starving People of Federal District. Washington—Carranza stock went up a bit Sunday with the news of the capture of Mexico City by his general Pablo Gonzales. While no favorable action by the United States toward General Carranza is promised as a result of the taking of Mexico City, It has been conceded that without Mexico City in his hands the first cMef could not expect the support of Washington to be swung in his direction. The reoccupation of the city is regarded as an event which, if followed up by other extensions of Carranza control, may place him in a much better position in relation to this government. The Carranza people here are rejoicing over the news. They feel It opens the way to recognition of Carranza as the head of the only government in Mexico worthy of the name. The Viilistas, on the contrary, said that they were glad Carranza had taken Mexico City, first because it would relieve them of responsibility for the welfare of the people of the federal district and, second, because it would render immobile the 7,000 or 8,000 troops necessary to garrison the capital. _ The Carranza agency announced Sunday night that steps have already been taken to set up an administration in Mexico City. It is not expected that the Carranza headquarters will be transferred to Mexico City at this time. Officials here are gratified at the capture of Mexico City from the point of view of practical consideration for the welfare of the foreigners there. The taking of the capital gives Carranza complete control of the railroad from Mexico City to Vera Cruz, affording a safe and-practicai means of ingress and egress for the foreigners. It Is assured that Carranza will open this road to general service In a few days. This will also permit the taking ef food supplies-into Mexico City, something which the Red Cross and the state department have found Impossible up to this time. Carranza has promised that he would send many trainloads of food supplies into the capital as soon as it was under his control.

Figures just compiled by the publicity branch of /the provincial department show that last year, notwithstanding that quite a third of the province was affected e>y the drought to £ a very serious extent, the total valuw** of agricultural products actually produced in the province showed an in* crease of over twenty million dollars over that of the previous year. Although southern Alberta had a bad year agriculturally, the province as a whole experienced a period of great prosperity, due principally to mixed farming, which 1B becoming more general with each succeeding- -year. The value of mixed farming, In fact, was never better illustrated than last year as the value of the animals slaughtered and sold alone equaled the value of the spring wheat crop, without taking into consideration the value of the butter, milk, cheese, poultry, vegetables, and other by-products of the farm. Oats was the banner grain crop, 1,147,382 acres being seeded, and producing 34,397,117 bushels, or 30.15 to the acre. Sold at an average of 60c per bushel, these yielded a revenue of $17,198,558. Comparatively little win* ter wheat was produced, tbe yield being a little short of one million bushels, but the spring wheat crop amounted to 15,102,083 bushels, the yield per acre being 15.26. At an average of $1.35 per bushel, the value of the spring wheat crop was therefore $20,387,812. The total production of barley was 7.847,640 bushels, which, at 55c per bushel, yielded a revenue of $4,316,202. Other productions were as follows: Flax, 207,116 bushels, $310,672.00; rye, 261,843 bushels, $196,392.00; spelts, 42,- 707 bushels, $32,030.00; hay, 200,000 tons, $2,500,000; potatoes, four million bushels, $3,000,000; turnips, three mil* lion bushels, $750,000; carrots, 360,000 bushels, $180,000; mangolds, 640,000 bushels, $320,000; animals slaughtered and sold, $20,000,000; butter and cheese, $1,500,000; milk, $3,000,000; wool clip, 1,300,000 pounds, $100,000; fish, $195,000; game and furs, $600,- 000; horticultural products, $150,000; poultry and products; $2,650,000. The total of the agricultural products is given as $78,516,891, as compared with $58,098,084 in 1913. The statistics also show that the value of the live stock in the province at the end of the year was $110,044,- 630, this being an Increase of $7,762,- 845 over the previous year.

The American girl, while she does not aspire to large muscles, or the athletic records of boys, is coming forward In these days to demand as her right physical training that will send her out into life with an endowment of health sufficient to meet its demands. Dr. D. A. Sargent, director of the Harvard gymnasium, tells us that some twenty or thirty years ago he had occasion to make a physical examination of professional athletes, "Nearly every one of these men," he says, "who had become especially distinguished, attributed his ability to his mother's fine physique." Without comment upon this unanswerable argument for the health education of women, he adds another: "Although" women constitute one-half of the human race and are largely responsible for Its upbuilding, they have a right to a health education for their own sakes."

The b,ig Finn rowed me down swollen river. After nearly a mile, the stream again opened out Into a broad lake where* In the distance, 1 saw rising sheer and high from the water, a long square building of three stories, with a tall round tower at one corner—an old medieval castle it seemed to be. From one of the small windows of the tower, as we came Into view of It, a light was shining upon the water, and my guide seeing It, grunted in satisfaction. It had undoubtedly been placed there as signal. After waiting five minutes or so, he pulled straight across the lake to the high, dark tower that descended into the water. The place was as grim and silent as any I had ever seen, an impregnable stronghold of the days before siege guns were invented, the fortress of some feudal prince or count who had probably held the surrounding country in thraldom. A small wooden ledge and naif a dosen steps led up to a low Arched door, which opened noiselessly, And the dark figure of a woman stood peering forth. My guide uttered some reassuring -word in Finnish in a low half-whisper, and then slowly pushed the boat along to the ledge, saying: Tour high nobility may disembark. There is at present no danger." I rose, gripped a big rusty chain to steady myselfj and climbed into the narrow doorway in the ponderous wall, where I found myself in the darkness beside the female who had apparently been expecting our arrival and watching our signal. Without a word she led me through a short passage, and then, striking a match, lit a big old-fashioned lantern. As the light fell upon her I recognised that she was a member of some religious order. The thin ascetic conntenance was that of a woman of strong character, and her funereal habit seemed much too large for her Stunted, shrunken figure. "The sister speaks French r I hasarded In that language, knowing that In most convents throughout Europe French is* known. "Out m'sieur. But are you not afraid to venture here?

"Baron Oberg—governor general of Finland!" I gasped. "Certainly. Did you not know V she said, dropping into French. I t is four years now that be has held supreme power to crush and Russify these poor Finns. Ah, m'&leurl this country, once so prosperous, is a blot upon the face of Europe. His methods are the worst and most unscrupulous of any employed by Russia. Before he came here he was the best hated man in Petersburg, and that, they say, is why the emperor sent him to us." "Where does this baron live?" I asked, surprised that he should occupy so high a place in Russian officialdom —the representative of the csar, with powers as great as the emperor himself. "At the Government palace, in Helsingfors." "And Elma Heath is here—in this grim fortress 1 Why?" "Ah, m'sieur, how can I tell? By reason of family secrets, perhaps. They account for so much, you know." The fact that the baron was ruler of Finland amased me, for I had half expected him to be some clever adventurer. Yet as the events of the past flashed through my brain, I recollected that in Rannoch Wood had been found the miniature of the Russian Order of Saint Anne, a distinction which, in all probability, had been conferred upon him. If so, the coincidence, to say the least, was a remarkable one. I Questioned my companion further regarding the baron. "Ah, m'sieur," she declared, "they call him The Strangler of the Finns.' It was he who ordered the peasants of Kasko to be flogged until four of them died—and the csar gave him the Star of White Eagle for it—he who suppressed half the newspapers and put eighteen editors in prison for publishing a report of a meeting of the Swedes in Helsingfors; he who encourages corruption and bribery among the officials for the furtherance of Russian Interests; he who has ordered Russian to be the official language, who has restricted public education, who has overtaxed and ground down the people until now the mine is laid, and FiaUnd is ready for open revolt The prisons are' filled with the" innocent; women are flogged; the poor are starving, and The Strangler,' as they call him, reports to the csar that Finland is submissive and is Russianlsed!" I had heard something of this abominable state of affairs from time to time from the English press, but had never taken notice of the name of the oppressor. So the uncle of Elma Heath was "The Strangler of Finland," the man who, in four years, had reduced a prosperous country to a state of ruin and revolt 1 "Cannot I see her at once?" I asked, feeling that we had remained too long there. If my presence in that place was perilous the sooner I escaped from it the better. "Tea, come," she said. "But silence! Walk softly," and holding up the old horn lantern to give me light she led me out into the low stone corridor again, conducting me through a number of Intricate passages, all bare and gloomy, the stones worn hollow by the feet of ages, into a small, square chamber, the floor of which was carpeted, and where, suspended high above, was a lamp that shad but a faint light over the baretyfnrnished place, Beyond was another smaller room into which the old nun disappeared for a moment; then she came forth leading a strange wan little figure in a gray gown, a figure whose face was the most perfect and most lovely I had ever seen. Her wealth of chestnut hair fell disheveled about her shjaldsrs, and as her hands wars olaspwd before: bar she looked straight at me in surprise as she wag Isd towards ma She walked but feebly, and her oountenanos was deathly pate, Her dress, as she came beneath the laian, was, 1 saw, coarse, yet eJean, and hsi fat, regular faatnres, whloh in photograph bad head saw Is aweh myself to you? My name is Gordon Qregg, English by birth, cosmopolitan by instinct J have come here to ask you a question—a question that concern* myselt Lydia Moreton has sent me* to you." I noticed that her great brown eyes watched*" my lips and not my !ace. Her own lips moved, but she looked at me with an inexpressible sadness. No sound escaped bar. 1 stood rigid before her as one turned to stone, for in that instant in a flash indeed, I realised the awful truth. She was both deaf and dumb I She raised her clasped hands to me in silence, yet with tears welling in her splendid eyes. I saw that upon her wrists were a pair of bright steel gyves. "What is this place?" I demanded of the woman in the religious habit when I recovered from the shock of the poor girl's terrible affliction. "Where am IV9 "This is the Castle of Kajana—the criminal lunatic asylum of Finland," was her answer. "The prisoner, as you see, has lost both speech and hearing." "Deaf and dumb!" I cried, looking at the beautiful original of that destroyed photograph on board the Lola. "But she has not always been sol" "No. I think not always," replied the sister quietly. , "But she can write responses to my questions?" "Alas! no," was the old woman's whispered reply. "Her mind is affected. She is, unfortunately, a hopeless lunatic." I looked straight into those sad, wide-open, yet unflinching brown eyes utterly confounded. Those white wrists held in steel, that pale face and blanched lips, the inertness of her movements, all told their own tragic tale. And yet that letter I had read, dictated in Becret most probably because her hands were not free, was certainly not the outexcitement and nodded quickly. Then holding her steel-clasped wrists towards me she looked wistfully at me, as though imploring me to release her from the awful bondage in that silent tomb. Though the woman who had led me there endeavored to prevent It, I handed her the pencil, and placed the paper on the table for her to write. The nun tried to snatch it up, but I held her arm gently and forcibly, saying in French: "No. I wish to see if she is really insane. You will at least allow me this satisfaction." And while we were in altercation, Elma, with the pencil in her fingers, tried to write, but by reason of her hands being bound so closely was unable. At length, jpsrever, after several attempts, she succeeded in printing in uneven capitals the responsar "I know you. You were on the yacht I thought they killed you." . The thin-faced old woman saw her response—a reply that was surely rational enough—and her brows contracted with displeasure. "Why are you here?" I wrote, no* allowing the sister to get sight of my question. In response, she wrote painfully and laboriously: "I am condemned for a crime I did not commit. Take me from here, or I shall kill myself." "Ah!" exclaimed the old woman, "You see, poor girl, she. believes herself innocent! They all do." "But why is she here?" I demanded fiercely. "I do not know, m'sieur. It is not my duty to Inquire the history of their crimes. When they are ill I nurse them; that is all." "And who is the commandant of this .fortress?* "Colonel Smirnoff. If he knew that I had admitted you, you would never leave this place alive. This is the Schusselburg of Finland—the place of imprisonment for those who have conspired against the state." "The prison of political conspirators, eh?" "Alas, m'sieur, yes! The- place in which some of the poor creatures are tortured in order to obtain confessions and information with as much cruelty as In the black days of the Inquisition. These walls are thick, and their cries are not heard from the oubliettes below the lake." I had long ago heard of the horrors of Schusselburg. Indeed who has not heard of them who has traveled in Russia? The very mention of the modern bastile on Laker Ladoga, where no prisoner has ever been known to come forth alive, is sufficient to cause any Russian to turn pale. And I was in the Schusselburg of Finland! I turned over the sheet of paper and wrote the question; "Did Baron Oberg send you here?" In response, she printed the words: "I believe so. I was arrested in Helsingfors. Tell Lydia where I am." "Do you know Muriel Leithcourt?" I inquired by the same means, whereupon she replied that they were at school together. "Did you see me on board the Lola?" I wrote. "Yes. But I could not warn youj although I bad overheard their intentions. They took me ashore when you haJ_gone^t2 Siena.

She had kept her secret and she wished the man Hornby—the man who was to marry Muriel Leithcourt—to know. The room in which we stood was evidently an apartment set apart for her use, for beyond was the tiny bedchamber; yet the small, high-up window was closely barred, and the cold bareness of the prison was sufficient indeed to cause anyone confined there to prefer death to captivity. Again I spoke to her slowly and kindly, but there was no response. That she was absolutely dumb wag only too apparent Yet surely she had not always been so! I had gone in search of her because the beauty of her portrait had magnetised me, and I had now found her to be even mors lovely than her picture, yet alas! suffering from an affliction that rendered her life,a tragedy. The realisation of the terrible truth staggered ma Such a perfect faoe as bars I had never before sat eyes spon, so beautiful, so clear-out so refined, so eminently tha countenance of one wan-born, sad yet so fneOabty sad, so fan of blank unmttsfaato despair.

"I do not fear the Baron Oberg," I exclaimed. "If necessary* I will appeal to the czar himself.

It would mean death to yon both. The Castle of Kajana tells no secrets of those who die within its walls, or of those cast headlong into its waters and forgotten." Again I turned to Elma, who stood in anxious wonder of the subject of our conversation, and had suddenly taken the old nun's hand and kissed tt affectionately, perhaps m order to show sea that she treated bar. Thau upon the paper I wrote: "Is the Baron Oberg your under She shook bar head ta the nagatrva, showing that tha of Finland had only acted a pan towards her in which aha bad been oossnaQad to -Who is Philip Hornbyr I inusdresi writing rapidly. m y frtsaeV-at least 1 bsiiows to,- I had all to bona "Why did you go to Leghorn f" I asked.

"And in return 1 will do my aV most to rescue you from here, if yoa do not fear to place yQuxseU in my hands?' " •-••<..*-: '•'•»»** -¾1¾¾¾^ And to this she replied: "I shall bsj thankful, for I cannot bear this awful place longer. I believe they must torture the women here. They will torture me some day. Do your best to get me out of here and I will tell you everything. But" she wrote, "I fear you can never secure my release. I am confined here on a life sentence." "But you are English, and if you have had no trial I can complain to our ambassador." "No, I am a Russian subject I was born In Russia, and went to England when I was a girl." That altered the case entirely. As a subject of the czar in her own country she was amenable to that disgraceful blot upon civilization that allows a person to be consigned to prison at the will of a high official, without trial or without being afforded any opportunity of appeal. I therefore at once saw a difllculty. Yet she promised to tell me the truth if I could but secure her release! Could I allow this refined defense* less girl to remain an Inmate of that bastile, the terrors of which I had heard men in Russia hint at with bated breath? They had willfully^ maimed her and deprived her of bothy hearing and the power of speech, and now they intended that she should ba driven mad by that silence and Ions*' llness that must always end In in-1 sanity, "I have decided," I said suddenly* turning to the woman who had conducted me there, and having now re4 moved the steel bonds of the prisoner^ with a key she secretly carried, stood with folded hands in the calm attitude) of the religieuse. "You will not act with rashness?* she implored In quick apprehension,' "Remember, your life is at stake, as well as my own.'" "Her enemies intended that I. tooj should die!" 1 answered, looking straight into those deep mysterious brown eyes which held me as beneathi a spell. "They have drawn her Into their power because she had no mean* of defense. The man is awaiting m4 in the boat outside. I intend to take her with me." "But m'sieur, why that is impossible!" cried the old woman in a hoarse voice. "If you were discovered by the guards who patrol the lake both night and day they would shoot you both." "I will risk it," I said, and Unking my arm In that of the woman whose lovely countenance had verily become the sun of my existence, I made a sign, inviting her to accompany me. The sister barred the door, urging me to reconsider my decision, but I waved her aside. Elma recognized; my intentions in a moment, and allowed herself to be conducted down the ion$ intricate corridor, walking stealthily, and as we crept along on tiptoe I felt the girl's grip upon my arm", a grip that told me that she placed her faith in me as her deliverer. J .^••'vrrT TIl^L without a sound we crept forward until within a few yards from that unbelow, when, of I sudden, the Sheer, tain light of the lantern fell upon something that shone and a deep voice" cried out of the darkness in Russian:, "Halt! or I fire!" ! And, startled, we found ourselves looking down the muzzle of a loaded' carbine. A huge sentry stood with his back to the secret exit his dark eyes shining beneath his peaked cap, as he held his weapon to his shoulder within six feet of us. "Speakl* cried the fellow.
