Now it is up to growers and others interested in the potato industry in Michigan to improve the Michigan potato. It needs improving badly; one way is to encourage the practice of spraying as one of the essentials in improving both quality and yield of potatoes. It has been said that to spray potato vines with bordeaux mix* tore at least three times during tbe season to prevent fungus diseases and to give the vines tbe necessary vigor to mature fine Urge tubers and plenty of them, adding paris green to the bordeaux if the bugs appear, would increase America's annual production at least one hundred millions of bushels.

New York—Harry K. Thaw, who shot and killed Stanford White on the night of June 26, 190«, walked from the court room a free man at noon Friday. Justice Hendrick accepted the finding of the jury that declared Thaw sane and immediately after announcing his decision admitted Thaw, to $86,000 ball. "My decision is based on my judgment and the advice of friends. I won't speak of this evidence," said the Justice in giving his decision. T h e impressive testimony of sanity is practically overwhelming. The testimony of paid experts on either side la my estimation, is of no value and 1 now declare Harry K. Thaw to be sane." Warned by deputy marshals, the big crowd in the court room attempted no demonstration. Thaw himself sat unmoved by the decision. When the court overruled 'the state's attempt to block his release on bail, he turned on Deputy Attorney General Cook a quiet smile of triumph. His nine years' fight for freedom had been won, but Thaw was the most undemonstrative person in the great crowd in and around the 'supreme court building. The state immediately entered an appeal from Justice Hendricks' finding. Attorney Stanchfleld, for Thaw, rose with an application for balL Assistant Attorney General Bombers immediately objected. "I have decided to admit Thaw to $86,000 ban," announced Justice Hendriek, and the attorneys sat down^ Stanchfleld then announced that Thaw was prepared to furnish $36,-000 bond from a surety company; the deputy marshals began clearing the crowd from the courtroom and Thaw's flght for liberty was at an end.

Grouchy neighbor, cane in hand, confronted the Giant Juniors at first base, which happened to be a lamp post "Which of you young rascals batted the hall that broke my upstairs window?" he growled, thumping the pavement menacingly with his stick. Each member of the team looked as innocent as a china doll. None spoke. Then an idea came to the gVouchy neighbor. He permitted a smile i> drive away the look of anger on his face. "Say, boys," he said merrily, "I was only joking about that window pane. I used to play baseball myself when 1 was a boy, and I have been much interested in watching you play. Tou have e fine team here, but it seems to me you are a little weak In batting I doubt if there is one of you who could knock a ball over that corner house." Blight pair of eyes turned toward Splinters, the wizard pitcher of the Giant Juniors, and Splinters himself, never unwilling to pose for the spotlight stepped forward. "Dat's where you're wrong, mister," he said. "If yer'd ben here five minutes ago you'd of seen me slam ope dat went ten feet over de roof of dat house." "Indeed!" exclaimed grouchy neighbor, grasping Splinters firmly by the collar. "That must have been the ball that broke my window.

Out in the center of the lake we could Just distinguish a long boat with three rowers going swiftly towards the entrance,to the river, which we so desired to gain. The guards were rowing rapidly, the oars sounding in the rowlocks, evidently in the belief that we had made for the river. But the Finlander had apparently foreseen this, and for that reason we were lying safe from observation in the deep shadow of an overhanging tree. A gray mist was slowly rising from the water, and the Finn, noticing it, hoped that it might favor us. "If we disembark we shall be compelled to make a detour of fully four days in the forest, in order to pass the marshes," he pointed out In a lew whisper. "But if we can enter the river we can go ashore anywhere and get by foot to some place where the lady can lie In hiding." "What do you advise? We are entirety in your hands. The chief of police told me he could trust you." "I think it will be best to risk it," The unfortunate girl whom I was h e " ^ la Russian after a brief pause, there to rescue drew back in fright .-"We will tie up the boat, and I will go CHAPTER XI—Continued. against the wall for a single second, then, seeing that I had closed with the hulking fellow, she sprang forward, and with both hands seised the gun and attempted to wrest It from him. His fingers had lost the trigger, and he was trying to regain it to fire and so raise the alarm. I saw this, and with an old trick learned at Uppingham I tripped him, so that he staggered and nearly fell. ......- An oath escaped him, yet in that moment Elma succeeded in twisting the gun from his sinewy hands, which I now held with a strength begotten of a knowledge of my imminent peril. He was huge and powerful, with a strength far exceeding my own, yet I had been reckoned a good wrestler at Uppingham, and now my knowledge of that most ancient form of combat held me in good stead. He shouted for help, his deep, hoarse voice sounding along the stone corridors. As we were struggling desperately, the English girl slipped past us with the carbine in her hand, and with a quick movement dragged open the heavy door that gave exit to the lake. J heard a splash, and saw that Elma no longer held the sentry's weapon in her hands. Then at the same moment I heard a voice outside cry in a low tone: "Courage, excellency! Courage! I will come and help you." It was the faithful Finn, who had been awaiting me in the deep shadow, and with a few strokes pulled ids boas up to the narrow rickety ledge ou^Ue the door. "Take the lady!" I succeeded in gasping in Russian. "Never mind me," and I saw to my satisfaction that he guided Elma. to step into the boat, which at that moment drifted past the little platform. I struggled valiantly, but I was slowly being vanquished. Mine was a fight for life. A sudden idea flashed across my mind, and I continued to struggle, at the same time gradually forcing my enemy backward towards the door. He cursed and swore and shouted until, with a sudden and almost superhuman effort, I tripped him, bringing bis head into violent contact with the stone lintel of the door. There was the sound of the crashing of wood as the rotten platform gave way, a loud splash, and he sank ttks a stone, for although I stood watching for him to rise, I could only distinguish the woodwork floating away with the current As r stood there la horror at my deed of solf-defenee, the place suddenly resounded with shouts of alarm,jmd la the tower s^ovo^a th* graeT old ratty betl begs* to swing, tjaflsEg its breaea note across the too** I saw a light and the gutter of jk shot rang out, and a bullet whiaaed •oat mo.

The rushes and undergrowth are higher further along. But if there is danger while I am absent get out and go Straight westward until you find the marsh, then keep along its banks due south," and drawing up the boat to the bank the shrewd, big-boned fellow disappeared into the dark undergrowth. CHAPTER XII. Rescued and Lost There were no signs yet of the break of day. My ears were strained to catch the dipping of an oar or a voice, but beyond the lapping of the water beneath the boat there was no other sound. I took the hand of the fair With, a Sudden and Almost SupertHiman Effort 1 Tripped Him. * faced girl at my aide aad praised It In return she pressed mine.

They shouted wildly as they Bprang to land after us, but our guide, who had been bom and bred in these forests, knew well how to travel in a circle, and how to conceal himself. It was a race for freedom—nay, for very life. So dark that we could see before us hardly a foot we were compelled to place our hands in front of us to avoid collision with the big tree trunks, while ever and anon we found ourselves entangleTin the mass of dead creepersjmd vegetable parasites that formed the dense undergrowth. Around us on wwy side we heard the shouts and curses of our pursuers, while above the rest we heard an authoritative voice, evidently that of a sergeant of the guard, cry: "Shoot the man, but spare the woman! The colonel wants her back. Don't let her escape? We shall be well rewarded. So keep on, comrades! Mene edemmaski!" But the trembling girl beside me heard nothing, and perhaps indeed it was best that she could not hear. It was an exciting chase in the darkness, as we gradually circled round our prisoners, for we knew not into what treacherous marsh we might fall. Once we saw afar through the trees the light of a lantern held by a guard, and already the sweet-faced girl beside me seemed tired and terribly fatigued. At last breathless, we halted to listen. We were already in sight of the gray mist where lay the silent lake that held so many secrets. There was not a sound. We crept along the water's edge, until in the gray light we could distinguish two empty boats— that of the guards and our own. We were again at the spot where we had disembarked. "Let us row to the head of the lake," suggested the Finn. "We may then land and escape them," And a moment later we were all three in the guards' boat, rowing with all our might under the deep shadow of the bank northward, in the opposite direction to the town of Nystad. I think we must have rowed several miles, for ere we landed again, upon a low, flat and barren shore, the first gray streak of day was showing in the east Elma noticed it end kept her great brown eyes fixed upon it thoughtfully. It was the dawn for her—the dawn of a new life. Our eyes met; she smiled at me, and then gazed again eastward, with silent meaning. Having landed, we drew the boat up and concealed it in the undergrowth so that the guards, on searching, should not know the direction we had taken, and then we went straight on northward across the low-lying lands, to where the forest showed dark against the morning gray. The mist had now somewhat cleared, but to discover a path in a forest forty miles wide Is a matter of considerable difficulty, and for hours we wandered on and on, but alas! always in vain. Faint and hungry, yet we still kept courage. Fortunately we found a little spring, and all three of us drank eagerly with our hands. But of food we had nothing, save a small piece of hard rye bread which the Finn had In his poqket the remains of his evening meal, and this we gave to Elma, who, half famished, ate it quickly. How many miles we trudged I have no Idea. Elma's torn shoe gave her considerable trouble, and noticing her limping, I induced her to sit down while I took it off, hoping to be able to mend i t but having unlaced H, I saw that upon her stocking waa a large patch of congealed blood, where her foot itself had also been cut I managed to beat the nails of the shoe with a stone, so that its sole should sot be lost and she readjusted It allowing me to lace it up for her and smiling the while. Forward we trudged, ever forward, across that enormous forest where the myriad tree .trunks presented the same dismal scene everywhere, a forest untrodden save by wild, half-savage lumbermen. My only fear war that we should be compelled to spead another Bight without shelter, aad what its afleot might be upon the delicately reared girl whose hand I held tenderly tn mine. Surely say position was a strange one. Her terrible affliction aeaaed to cause her to be entirety dependent upon me. Suddenly, Just aa the yellow sunlight overhead had begun to fade, the flaVfaoed Flan, whose name he had told me waa Felix Bartender, crtsd Jor/aHy: "FolaahaHel Look, excoConeyt Ah! The road at last!" as we gtaaoad before aaw that hie quick, walMralaad eyas aad detected away la the twiligtt, at diatanos. a path traversing oar asanas the tree traaka. a gesture of hope* aasTaJt throe of aa radoahlad oar knew that her injured foot waa paining her, even though she could tell me nothing. At last we saw before us a light Bhining in a window, and five minutes later Felix was knocking at the door, and asking in Flnni&h- the occupant to give hospitality to a lady lost tn the forest. We heard a low growl like a muttered imprecation within, and when the door opened there stood upon the threshold a tall, bearded, muscular old fellow in a dirty red shirt, with a big revolver Bhining In his hand. ^ ¾ "ft. totwoyoaa* whfle the latter, ooald ha • i ^nSFWSeraa SJSjBPt A Tali, Bearded, Muscular Old Fellow, With a Big Revofver. A quick glance at us satisfied him that we were not thieves, and he invited us in while Felix explained that we had landed from the lake, and our boat having drifted away we had been compelled to take to the woods. The man heard the Finn's picturesque story* and then said something to me which Felix translated into Russian. "Tour excellency is welcome to all the poor fare he has. He gives up his bed in the room yonder to the lady, so that she may rest He is honored by your excellency's presence." And while he was making this explanation the wood cutter stirred the red embers whereon a big pot was simmering, and sending forth an appetizing odor, and in five minutes we were all three sitting down to a stew of capercailsie, with a foaming light beer as a fitting beverage. After we had finished our meal I asked the sturdy old fellow for a pencil, but the nearest thing he possessed was a stick of thick charcoal, and with that it waa surely difficult to communicate with our fair companion. Therefore she rose, gave me her hand, bowed smilingly, and then passed into the inner room and closed the door, while we threw ourselves wearily upon the wooden benches and slept soundly. Suddenly, however, at early dawn, we were startled by a loud banging at the door, the clattering of hoofs, and authoritative shouts in Russian. The old wood cutter sprang up, and, looking through a chink In the heavy shutters, turned to us with blanched face, whispering breathlessly: "The police! What can they want of n»?" "Open!** shouted the horseman outside. "Open in the name of his majesty!" Felix made a dash for the door of the inner room, where Elma had retired, but next second he reappeared, gasping in Russian: "Excellency! Why. the door is open! the lady has gone!" "Gone!" I cried, dismayed, rushing into the little room, where I found the truckle couch empty and the door leading outside wide open. She had actually disappeared 1 The police again battered at the opposite door, threatening loudly to break H fn if it were not opened at once, whereupon the old wood cutter drew the bolt and admitted them. Two big, hulking fellows in heavy riding coats aad swords strode In, while two others remained mounted outside, holding the horses. "Your names r demanded one of the fellowa, glancing at us aa we stood together to expectation. Oar hoot told them his name, aad asked way they wished to eater. "We are eostrhing for a who baa escaped from Kajaaa, the ropty. "Have you aaea any wossan "Thssi this is not a* tea district «* Abo?" "No. But what difference does It make? Who are you?" "Gordon Gregg, British subject" I replied. "And you are- the drosky driver from Abo," remarked the fellow, tura* ing to Felix. "Exactly as I thought Tou are the pair who bribed the nutt at Kajana, and succeeded in releasing the Englishwoman. In the name of the czar, I arrest youl" The old wood cutter turned pale as death. We certainly were in grave peril, for I foresaw the danger of falling into the hands of Baron Oberg, the Strangler of Finland. Tet we had a satisfaction In knowing that he the mystery what it might, Elma had escaped. "And on what charge, pray, do you presume to arrest me?" I inquired as coolly as I could. "For aiding a prisoner to escape." "Then I wish to say, first that you have no power to arrest me; and, secondly, that if you wish me to give you satisfaction, I am perfectly willing to do so, providing you first accompany me down to Abo." "It is outside my district" growled the fellow, but I saw that his hesitancy was due to his uncertainty as to who I really might be. "I desire you to take me to the Chief of Police Boranski, who will make all the explanation neoeasary. Until we have an Interview with him* I refuse to give any Information concerning myself." I said. "But you have a passport?" I drew it from my pocket saying*. "It proves, I think that my name Is what I have told you." The fellow, standing astride, read It and handed It back to me. "Where is the woman Y* he demanded. "Tell me." "I don't know," was the reply. "Perhaps you will tell me," he said, turning to the old wood cutter with a sinister expression upon his face. "Remember, these fugitives are found in your house, and you are liable to arrest" "I don't know—indeed I don't!" protested the old fellow, trembling beneath the officer's threat. Like all his class, he feared the police, and held them in dread. "Ah, you don't remember, I suppose!" he smiled. "Well, perhaps your memory will be refreshed by a month or two in prison. You are also arrested." "But your excellency, I—" "Enough!" blared the bristly officer. "Tou have given shelter to conspire* tors. You know the penalty in Fin* land for that surely?" "But these gentlemen are surely not conspirators!" the poor old man pro* tested. "His excellency is English, and the English do not plot" "We shall see afterwards," h* laughed. A dosen times was the old wood cub ter questioned, but he stubbornly re* fused to admit that he had ever se< eyes upon Elma. I knew, of courses by what we had overheard said by the prison guards, that the governor get* era! was extremely anxious to recapture the girl with whom, I frankly admit I had now so utterly fallen la love. And it appeared that no effort was being spared to search for us. But what could be the truth of Elma's disappearance? Had she fled of her own accord, or had she once more fallen a victim to some ingenious and das* tardly plot That gray dress of hers might I recollected, betray her if she dared to venture near any town, while her affliction would, of Itself, be plain evidence of identification. All I hoped was that she had gone and hidden herself In the forest somewhere in the vicinity to wait until the danger of recapture had passed. For as long as possible I succeeded in delaying our departure, but at length, Just as the yellow sun began to struggle through the gray clouds, we were all three compelled to depart in sorrowful procession. At nine o'clock I stood in the big, bare office of Michael Boranski. where only a short time before we had had such a heated argument. As soon aa the chief of police -had entered, he recognised me under arrest and dismissed my guards with a wave of the hand—all save the officer who had brought me there. He listened to the officer's story of my arrest without saying a word. (TO BE C0NT1N USD.) ••?*£ : * •V .M Audacity of Woman Spfee.

It will be a matter of wisdom for farmers to give some extra care to their growing crops this year. The government reports have all heralded the prospect of bumper crops thus far, and up to within a short time the prospect has warranted these reports, but the latest developments are that the frost, the work of the insect, the extensive rains, the cool weather, all these things will tend to produce shortages in different crops in different sections and will have a tendency to raise the price which will afford an extra care that will repay the effort. A new digest of the game laws of Michigan, including the amendments to the laws made by the legislature last spring, has been issued by the state game department in a small pamphlet, convenient for ready reference. The pamphlets cover the main points of the laws regarding what fish, game and birds may be hunted and when; bounties paid for undesirable wild animals; amounts of various kinds of game a hunter may kill; license fees, and all other information the hunter must have in order to be sure he is within the law.

CAST ASIDE MANY MILLIONS. This Singular Titled Austrian Refused to Disclose His Identity When His Good Fortune Became Known, and Hie Fate Is an Unsolved Mystery. The French Foreign Legion Is tlw? {BOgt picturesque military organization la the work! It is the refuge of men of all nations gone wrong through impulse or misfortune; who wish to bury fftnmoalTrw In oblivion while fighting to regain an honorable place In the world of life and activity. The rank and file of the corps i* composed of princes, dukes, marquises, counts and viscounts, generals and of fleers of all grades, all arms, of tlu1 armies of all countries, magistrates, financiers, diplomats, lawyers and professional functionaries ot all sorts; honest adventurers who simply want to "see the world;" the neurasthenic the disheartened, the unemployed; those who. having lost everything but honor or having lost honor itself would make a new start. All this diverse human metal, throwo into the melting pot together, la even tually molded Into that brave, stole, loyal, devoted, patient and tenacious prototype of the man of arms, the Legionary. Of the Foreign Legion a thousand romantic tales* are told, of which the following true story may be taken as an example: One day General Bruneau, command er of the legion, received a registered letter, postmarked Vienna and signed by the representative of a well known Austrian detective agency, to the fol lowing effect: Monsieur le General-Will you kindly inform me If a young1 man of Auatro-Hung- arian nationality, supposed to have enlisted In the Forelgm Legrion under ths name of Justus Perth, Is now at Sadla0 You will understand the Interest we have in finding him when 1 Inform you confidentially that In consequence of unforeseen, happpr'ng;^- h^-has. ^""i1*- -VUlA^"'.' • ttIa~kn7>WTeJ2t) "Or BTpTcTafran; loTeTTeTr to a fortune of 12,000,000 crowns. Inclosed is e, photograph taken when he was a student at the University of Prague. The photograph showed a stockj youth of perhaps twenty to twenty-two years of uge and whose somewhat beefy face was fringed with precocious whiskers. He wore eyeglasses, which made it difficult to judge of the form and shade of his eyes. General Bruneau's first step was tc have his secretary-adjutant search the enlistment rolls for the name of Jus tus Perth. No such name appeared Then he had all the Austrians of the detachment line up and scanned their faces in the hope of identifying th? original of the photograph. Only two. both of whom were recent arrivals, •bowed possible traits of resemblance. aad these In a very imperfect degree. These two Austrians were closely examined by Dhuermer, the secretary who spoke the German language flu ently. Both denied stubbornly that they had ever used or heard "of the name of Justus Perth. "Possibly it may loosen your tongues," pursued the secretary, "if 1 tell you why the general Is looking foi this Perth. The fellow has just inher lted 12,000,000 crowns. Now, is eithei one of you Justus Perth?" MNein." "Nein." "Send them back to their companies It is of no use," said General Bruneau Time passed and the Incident had been forgotten when In 1902 there came to Bruneau a formidable lookins envelope bearing the government seal of the minister of foreign affairs. It Inclosed a letter which drew from the officer an exclamation of surprise. This letter was a diplomatic para phrase of the former inquiry by the Vienna secret service agency regarding Justus Perth, It insisted upon fur taer investigation, to be conducted with more care and discretion than in the previous instance. Furthermore, the commandant was confidentially ad vised that "Justus Perth" was only a fictitious name and that the real title of the person to be found at any price was Count Otto von X. Another photograph, more recent than the one which had accompanied the first inquiry, was appended. "No sooner did I set eyes on this photograph," continued Bruneau, "than i made, thp njsiounding^iscoyerj: thm the Count Otto von X., the pseuao- Justus Perth, was none other than the secretary-adjutant, Dhuermer, who bad so energetically questioned the two bewildered Austrians called up before me on the former occasion! "My course was now simple enough. Shortly after that first interrogatory our secretary-interpreter. Dhuermer, bad been transferred to Tonkin, in regular course of the annual relief of the battalions serving there. This information I wired to headquarters. "Next day the response came: "Legionary Dhuermer sent homo no oount of health, en route Singapore. "Another cipher telegram to the French consul at Singapore brought the following: "Legionary Dhuermer, alias Count Otto ran X.. disappeared from transport steamer, roadstead of Singapore; cannot t»ft found.

A horse is better able to work by each dose and will increase in flesh, muscle, life and vim. It costs $2.00 to $6.00 to cure a case, of Heaves, and it may cost $8.00 to cure some old Heaver.

IN THE HOME GROUNDS By EBEN E. REXFORD. This month will be a hnsy one for the gardener. There will be plants to put out, weeds to pull. Insects to kill —quite enough to' keep one at work most of the time. I do my transplanting on cloudy days, If possible, but If the weather perslstj In being sunshiny, I do the work after sundown. Before lifting a seedling, I apply enough water to thoroughly saturate the soil In which it is growing. If this is done, the young plant can be moved without exposure to the roots, and It will receive no check whatever, but will keep on growing as if nothing had happened to It. But allow its tender, delicate roots to be exposed to air for ever so little a time and yon run a serious risk of losing your plant If this does not happen, it will receive a check from which it will take a long time to recover. One cannot be too careful with anything as delicate as a seedling plant. In bright weather newly transplanted seedlings will require shading for a day or two. I cut out a circle of coarse brown paper, about a foot across, make a slit to the center on one side of it, and fold the paper over two or three inches, running a wire out and in through the folded part This wire serves to hold the paper together and acts as a support for the little brown paper umbrella. It should be at least twelve Inches long—long enough to Insert in the ground close to the seedling, and hold the neper cone well above the plant It is designed to protect This kind of a covering keeps the sun away from the plant, but does not interfere with free circulation of air about it What kind of a support are you going to give your gladioli? Tying their stalks to sticks gives them such a stiff and prim appearance that I always feel sorry for the poor plants. A stick in the center of a clump does not furnish a really satisfactory support to the stalks on the outside of it, and a hoop supported on sticks is open to the objection of b£ln;; only a little better than nothing. Here is my pL*.n—and one that works well, and o u be easily carried out. I take a st^P of coarse mesh wire netting of tue size of the bed containing the gladioli, and stretch It over the plants before they begin to send up their flower stalks. I support it on stout stakes that pioject about eighteen inches above the surface of the soil, using enough of them to keep the netting level all over the bed. This is the season for making warfare on the enemies of the rose. If one would have fine flowers he must make up his mind that he's got to fight for them. It is very necessary that the application should get to the under side of the leaves and the inside of the bushes, where the Insects are likely to hide away; therefore it will be well to have someone assist by bending the bushes over and holding them in that position while the application is being made. Worms, slugs, green lice and the rose-chafer can be kept from injuring the bushes if the emulsion is applied thoroughly and frequently. As soon as my lilacs are past the flowering periods, I go over the bushes and cut away all the seed clusters. The result is—1 get a fairly good crop of flowers on what is generally considered the "off year" of this excellent old shrub.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, July 28, 1915 No. 3 1 Pinckney Chautauqua A Grand Success The Pinckney Chautauqua is ow a thing of the past, but .the pleasant memory of it will remain with us forever. It was a great pleasure to have those talented people in our midst for three days, but when besides their presence, they gave us such enjoyable entertainment, we were happy indeed. _ The first entertainers, The Ts- -ohaikowsky Quartet, gave us two -concerts the quality of wbich was first class. The wonderful harmony of the music produced from their really fine instruments, and the wise arrangement of the program both afternoon and evening, pleased and delighted everyone. The Old Folks Choir Concert Ca. fulfilled our highest expectations, and more. They had sung together for four or five years, and the harmonious blending of their voices, their happy selections, their costume singing of the old songs and their chaining manners, was delightful throughout the two programs. The lecture given by Mr. Bradford was oue of the best ever delivered here. He had a message to bring, and he gave it in such a strong manner as to send every man, woman and child away inspired with a desire to live for the betterment of humanity. All expressed a hope to hear him again, There is no better way to speak of Mr. Taggart, the impersonator's entertainment than to quote from the testimonial of another, "It was an artistic, humorous and wholesome entertainment, and left -a good iaste in the mouth." On the whole the -course wai a great success. Many have said they hoped another would be given next summer and then that it might go on and be an established thing hereafter.

There are several seta of tnstru ments made tor the purpose of canonising a fowl. These differ principally, in the type of instrument used In getting hold of and removing the testicle. One type is the cannula, a. This consists of a hollow tube, the lower end of which Is compressed and closed except for two small holes through which to run the horse hair or wire comprising the other part of the instrument This type is very satisfactory, but requires two hands to operate. Another type is the twisting scoop, b. This is a spoonlike scoop, slotted In tne center and mounted upon a slender rod. It is designed to slip under the testicle, allowing the spermatic cord to pass through the slot. By twisting the cord Is severed. This type has the advantage of requiring only one hand to operate, but Is more liable to produce slips than the cannula. A third style of Instrument, 1, Is also In the form of a spoon or scoop, but instead of being in one piece has two jaws regu lated by a slide. The testicle is caught in the scopp with the spermatic cord between the jaws, and by tighten lng the jaws and gently moving the instrument the cord Is severed and the testicle removed. Still another type, not now in common use, is the spoon forcepe. With this the testicle Is simply grasped with the forceps and detached by a twisting movement Here one hand can be used also, but the liability of slips is rather greater than with the other methods. K, shows a type of forceps, consisting of two hinged arms, one of which terminates in a broad, flat surface, and the other in an end of similar shape, from which the center has been removed, leaving only a narrow rim. These two ends are held closely pressed together by means of a rubber band passing serosa the handles. In use, the ends of the forceps are separated, the solid one slipped under the testicle and the rim then allowed to settle down over i t The cord Is then caught and the testicle can be removed. Careless or too rapid use of this instrument is likely to cause sUpa. A knife for making the incision into the body cavity is of course necessary Almost any sharp-pointed, thin-bladed knife will answer the purpose well (see c). Some, sort of spreader to spring apart the ribs far enough to allow the instruments to be Inserted into the body mast be used. A plain Bprlng spreader, as shown at d, or a sliding spreader, e, allowing the pressure to be gauged, will answer the purpose. A sharp-pointed hook, h, for tearing away the thin membranes, and a blunt probe, of which g is one type, for pushing aside the intestines, complete the necessary equipment A pair of small tweesers or nippers, f, is also useful In removing any foreign matter from the body. VALUE OF MANURE SPREADER One of Great Advantages of Implement Is That It Can Be Used Any Time During the Year. One of the great advantages of the manure spreader over the old way of spreading manure by hand is that tt can be used throughout the growing season. The spreader can be adjusted to give a light or heavy application of manure. During the growing season, whenever there Is a little time to spare from the regular field work, the manure pile can be worked down and pat on to the fields, where it will be feeding crops instead of wasting away In the barnyard or in the pile With the spreader, manure can be hauled out any time of the year. For this reason alone, saying nothing of the time saved tn unloading and the even manner in which the manure is distributed, the spreader is worth many times its cost It Is just as necessary as a wagon on the farm where live stock is kept Make Garden Worth While. A garden la more bother than it ts worth unless you get fruits sod vegetables that are really better than those yon nan bay. • » * » » ^ ^ ^ » » ^ » * » » » » » » ^ » • - » » - .

FIGHT THE JNSECT PESTS For the little white fly, use sulphotobacco soap according to directions on the package. For rose bugs, in the evening place two or three ounces of quassia-chips (to be had of the druggist) in a pall,-and fill with boiling water—two or three gallons according to site of pail. Let stand until next morning, then apply the liquid to the plant with a garden syringe, getting the tea on all sides of the foliage and stems. If the tea is applied hand hot it will be more effective. A strong soap suds made of any good white soap, if applied quite warm, Is discouraging to the bug population, and is especially "good" for the green louse or aphis. Red spiders affect the outdoor as well as indoor plants in droughty weather, and are usually found on the under side of the foliage, causing the leaves to turn brown and to curl at the edges,* If badly affected, strip the leaves from the plants and burn them. Rose plants will take no hurt from this method, but some plants cannot stand being disleaved. and must be sponged with soap-Buds, leaf by leaf, hand hot Frequent syringing of the whole plant with clear water will keep down many pests. Asters suffer from root-lioe,* which invariably kill them in a short time, If undisturbed. These lice also affect chrysanthemum*, clematis and like planta. Where these pests are at Work there will be ants also. To destroy the lice draw the soil away from the roots and soak the earth with a solution of good soap and quite warm—almost hot—water or tobacco tea. The ants will leare, then the aphis are killed. Hand-picking seems the only remedy for the blister bug and It mast be attended to several times a day. Sometimes a sprinkling with Persian Dalmatian powder win rout them, but only temporarily, as it soon loses its strength, and they win return. The insect powder must he show* ered on the plant wjth the powder gun which comes wit* the powder, and Their season is July, August and the first half of September, and they are voracious eaterB, soon stripping the plant. In appearance they are long, slim, grayish black, the grow a ones being about an inch in length. "V They soon ruin clematis, golaenglow and many other plants. Borrowed Finery.

A certain theatrical manager, whose eight-year-old son is visiting on a farm, received the following letter from him recently: "Dear Father-—I am haveing a fyne time. I no a kid named Skeels Wilson and me and him are it up here. We bete three fellers up today and I gott the toothe we noked out of one's mouth.

A man born with a harelip is of few days and full of trouble. In a central Missouri town lives a man who possesses a harelip and a motor car. He had been much interested in the spread of the jitney idea, and the other day, when starting out to the county seat of hlB county, he saw a number of his fellow citizens waiting at the railroad station for a train to the same place, and decided to do a little jitneying himself. Driving up to the station he called out what lis friends took to be a cordial invitation to joy ride to the county capital, and they accepted promptly. On arriving at the courthouse they were surprised— and grieved—by a demand for 50 cents apiece. "Pay nothin'!" exclaimed one. "You never said a word about pay. You just drove up and hollered: "Git in the car!" "I didn't either say yit in the car," wailed" the harelipped man. "I said yitney car."

From Mainspring to Hairspring Between Them Lies the Secret The Mainspring is the power which it transmits to the active parts of the watch. The Hairspring has the control and regulates the motion.

The friction from accumulating dust; lack of oil, etc., destroy these perfect fittings. Do not let your watch run to ruin from neglect.

You are instructed to deliver texfcually the following not to the minister for foreign affairs: ' The note of the imperial German government, dated the 8th of July, ¢1916, has received the careful consid- S*ation of the. government of the nlted States, and it regrets to be obliged to say that It has found it very unsatisfactory, because It falls to meet the real differences between the two governments' and indicates no way in which the accepted principles of law and humanity may be applied in the grave matter in controversy, but proposes, on the contrary, arrangements for a partial suspension of those principles which virtually set them aside. The government of the United States notes with satisfaction that the Imperial government recognizes without reservation the validity of the principles insisted on in the several communications which this government has addressed to the Imperial German government with regard to its announosmenjt of a war tone, and the use of submarines against merchantmen on the high eeaa—the principle that the high seat are free, that the character and cargo of a merchantman must first be ascertained before she can lawfully be seized or destroyed, and that the lives of non-combatants may in no ease be put in jeopardy unless the vessel resists or seeks to escape after being summoned to submit to examination; for a belligerent act of retaliation is per se an act beyond the law, and the defense of an act as retaliatory is an admission that it is illegal. The government of the United fitatee is, however, keenly disappointed to find that the Imperial German government regards itself as in large degree exempt from the cause of a mere alteration of circumstance. The rights of neutrals in time of war are based upon principle, not upon expediency, and the principles are immutable. It is the duty and obligation of belligerents to And a way to adapt the new circumstances to them. The events of the past two months have clearly indicated that it is possible and practicable to conduct Buch submarine operations as have characterized the. activity of the Imperial German navy within the so-called war zone in substantial accord with the accepted practices of regulated warfare. The whole world has looked with interest and increasing satisfaction ajt the demonstration of that possibility by German naval commanders. It is manifestly possible, therefore, to lift the whole practice of submarine attack above the criticism which It has aroused and remove the chief causes of offense. In view of the admission of illegality made by the Imperial government when it pleaded the right of retaliation in defense of its acts, and In view.of the manifest possibility of conforming to the established rules of naval warfare, the government of the United States cannot believe that the imperial government will longer refrain from disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander in sinking the Lusitania or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made for a needless destruction of human life by an Illegal act. The government of the United States, while not indifferent to the friendly spirit In which it is made, cannot accept the suggestion of the Imperial German government that certain vessels be designated and agreed upon which shall be free on the seas now illegally prescribed. The very agreement would, by implication, subject other vessels to illegal attack and would be a curtailment and therefore an abandonment of the principles for which this gov* AUTHORITIES ATTEMPT TO PLACE THE BLAME Excursion Boat Loaded With Twenty- Five Hundred People Bound for Michigan City to Attend Picnic. for Employees of Western Electric Co. Chicago—The excursion steamer, Eastland, loaded with about twentyfive hundred picnickers, turned over while standing at the Clark street dock in the Chicago river Saturday morning. Official records show a loss of 1,467 lives. They were for the most- part women and children bound for the outing of the employees' of the Western Electric Co., at Michigan City. Panic struck the passengers when the boat began to turn over. Best accounts of witnesses said the steamer rolled slightly twice, then turned further and that' hundreds of screaming, struggling men, women and children slid across the sloping decks, fought for room and clutched at companions, deck chairs or any other object that came to hand. Women and children by the hundreds were caught below decks and the scratched faces, torn clothing and bruised bodies of the dead bore mute evidence of the desperation with which they had fought for life. The steamer turned over in less than five minutes. Members of the crew shouted warnings as the steamer first tilted and endeavored to drive the passengers to the upper side of the deck, but the incline was already too steep. Slowly, so as to agonize the spectators drawn to the scene by the shouts of warning and fear, the great steel hulk turned bottom up, pouring its passengers into the river. EASTLAND WAS BUILT .

The furnishings of the boat were expensive and designed by artists and experts from original ideas. vAs originally designed, the steam or was an un usually safe boat, but later changes were made at the rtquest of the owners, and more upper wojrka added to increase her passenger accommodations.

The government of the United States and the Imperial German government are contending for the same Boat Loaded to Capacity. Some 7,000 tickets had been distributed for the excursion and five steamers chartered by the company. The Eastland was first'to receive its quota, and when its chartered capacity was reached federal inspectors ordered that no more be tar ken aboard. The boat was docked on the south side of the river and when the hundreds hurrying to the boat were turned back from it they streamed across the Clark street bridge to the steamer Theodore Roosevelt, which was to take the second load.

The Imperial German government be against an enemy who is believed expresses the hope that this object to have acted in contravention of Daw aad humanity, are manifestly indefensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged rights, particularly when they violate the right to life itself.

The heroes ranged from slips of girls to ragged dock rats and hoboes to professional. A frail mite of a girl crawled over the slimy side of the ship at the imminent risk of her own life and with her thin little arms dragged a number of children to safety. A gloomy man who was out of work and contemplating suicide in the river found plenty of work when the^ ship capsized. Ho plunged In and rescued nine persons before he was dragged ',out almost dead by other rescuers. A policeman made a motorman stop between stations, rang back along the tracks, plunged in the river and saved eight from drowning. There were numerous cases of boy heroes; in two cases the little fellows themselves perished after helping many women and children to safety. One boy whose identity is yet a mystery, jumped from the dock into the river to help two women hanging to some object in the middle of the stream. He was swimming to 4he dock with one of the women when the other flung her arms around his neck and all three drowned. . Morris Jorgensen ,a professional diver, who had brought out 30 bodies, and was sitting on the dock, dazed and hysterical, was clubbed into insensibility by policemen under the orders of Captain Bernard Baer, because he'could not comprehend the order to "move on." William Raphael, manager of a commission house, leaped into the river and was swimming to the dock with two women when a fat man, his face a livid green from fear, clutched the dress of one woman. Raphael kicked him in the face, but In the struggle the fat man carried one woman down and both were drowned. All witnesses agree that in tho crisis women were the stronger and more sensible.

Real that he was not making much headway, fie decided to look up a home* stead in Canada. With $250 he and his wife took up a homestead near Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount* ing his experiences of a few years, in which they had undergone hardships which were likely to be unavoidable, with a small amount of capital, he continues the story by stating that in the fall after a fair summer's work on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned up nearly all his debts, having now four good horses, a complete set of farm machinery including two wagons and a "Swell" top buggy and eleven head of cattle. He continues, "However, I was not satisfied. I had been reading of the splendid homesteads that were to be had in Montana. Wheat was cheap and I thought it would get cheaper, so I began to think that homesteading as a moneymaklng proposition was better than farming. I did not stop to consider that wheat was not the only thing; as a, matter of fact I had sold pork for 14 cents a pound. Eggs and butter had kept us in groceries and more, we had now four milch cows, two heifers coming in and more growing up. We had a cream separator, and some hogs. We had a quarter section of land that could raise an abundance of small grain, roots and grass, for feed, but I could not see all that; I had the 'moving' 'fever, and decided to sell. I set the price on the land at $3,000 cash. I could not find anyone with that much money, however, so I came down until I finally sold for $1,400. We had an auction and sold the per* soaal property. On the sale we got just about enough cash to pay the auctioneer; the rest was all notes. The horses brought about two-thirds what they were worth. The implements sold for hardly one-third of what they had cost. The cattle brought a good-price. Must Make Another Start We now have a homestead in Montana, but we find that after moving here and getting settled, what money we had did not go far. We have three horses, about all the Implements we need, and a little better buildings than we had -on our former place. We have no cattle, though we had to build much fence to keep ranch stock out of our fields. We have about $50A worth of honest debts. True, we have a half section in place of a quarter, but that is no good to us, as long as we have not the capital with which to work it. In summarizing it all up I see where I made my mistake. It will take fully five years to get into as good circumstances as we were before we made the change. It is five years lost My advice to anyone contemplating a change of location is to think twice before you act and if your present circumstances are not too bad, 'stay by your bush till you pick it clean.'"—Advertisement however, chiefly young foreigners, dragged women frdin the places of safety and even after their own safety, was assured stood around stolidly without offering to assist Government Win Investigate.

CHAPTER XII—Continued. {apartments of the palace, ^acroes a great hall filled with fine paintings, and then up a long, thickly carpeted passage to a small, elegant room, where a tall, baldheaded man in military uniform stood awaiting me. "Your name is M'sieur Gregg," be exclaimed In very good French, "and I understand you desire audience of bis excellency, the governor general I regret, however, that he never gives audience to strangers." "The matter upon which I desire to see his excellency is of a purely private and confidential nature," I said, for, used as I was to the wayB of foreign officialdom, I spoke with the same firm courtesy as himself. "If I write the nature of my business and inclose it in an envelope, will you then take it to himV l suggested. He hesitated for a short time, twisting his mustache, and then replied with great reluctance: "Well, if you are so determined, you may write your business upon your card." I therefore took out one, and on the back in French: "To give information regarding Miss Elma Heath." Ringing a bell, he handed it to the footman who appeared. The response came in a few minutes. trBia excellency will give audience to the English m'sieu." The apartment of the governor general was splendidly decorated, and in the center of the parquet floor, with his back to the light, was the thin, wiry figure of an elderly man in a funereal frock coat, in the lapel of which showed the red and yellow ribbon of the Order of S t Anne. His hands were behind his back, and he stood purposely in such a position that when I entered I could not at first "The prisoner, your excellency, desired to be brought here to you before being taken to Helsingfors. He •aid you would be aware of the facts." "And so I am," remarked Boranski, with a smile. "There is no conspiracy. You must at once release this gentleman and the other two prisoners." "But, excellency, the governor general has issued orders for the prisoner's arrest and deportation to Helsingfors." "That may be. But I am chief of police in Abo. and I release him." The officer looked at me In Buch blank astonishment that I could not resist smiling. "I am well aware of the reason of this Englishman's visit to the North," added Boranski. "More need not be said. Has the lady been arrested?" "No, your excellency. Every effort is being made to find her. Colonel Smirnoff has already been relieved of his post as governor of'Kajana, and many of the guards are under arrest for complicity in the plot to allow the woman to escape." "Ah, yes. I see from the dispatches that a reward is offered for her recapture." "The governor general is determined that she shall not escape," remarked the other. "She is probably hidden in the forest, somewhere or other." "Of course. They are making a thorough search over every vent of i t If she is there, she will most certainly be found." "No doubt" remarked Boranski, leaning back in his padded chair and looking at me meaningly across the littered table. "And now I wish to speak to this Englishman privately, so please leave us. Also inform the other two prisoners that they are' at liberty." "But your excellency does this upon his own responsibility," he said anxiously. "Remember that I brought them to you under arrest" "And I release them entirely at my own discretion,'* he said. "As chief 4f police of this province, I am permitted to use my jurisdiction, and I exercise it in this matter. Ton are at liberty to report that at Helsingfors, if you so desire, but I should suggest that you say nothing unless absolutely obliged—you understand?*' The manner in which Boranski spoke apparently decided ay captor, for after a moment's hesitation he said, saluting: If that is really your wish, then I win obey."

What was the cause of her inexplicable disappearance Into the gloomy forest while we had slept? I returned to the hotel where I had stayed on my arrival, a comfortable place called the Phoenix, and lunched there alone. Both Felix, the Finn, and my host, the wood cutter, had received their douceurs and left, but to the last-named I had given instructions to return home at once and report by telegraph any news of my lost one. A thousand conflicting thoughts arose within me as I sat in that crowded salle a manger filled with a gobbling crowd of the commercial men of Abo. I had, I recognized, now to deal with the most powerful man in that country, and I suffered a distinct disadvantage by being in ignorance of the reason he held that sweet English girl a prisoner. The tragedy of the dastardly manner in which she had been willfully maimed caused my blood to boil within me. I had never believed that in this civilised twentieth century such things could be. Why she had disappeared without warning I was at loss to imagine, yet I could only surmise that her flight had been compulsory. Another very curious feature in the affair was the sudden manner in which Michael Boranski had exacted his power and influence in order to render me that service. There was, I felt convinced, some hidden motive in all that sudden and marked friendliness. That he really hated the English I had seen plainly when we bad first met and I had only compelled him to serve me by presenting the order signed by the emperor, which made me his guest within the Russian dominions. Even that document did not account for the length he had gone to secure the release of the woman I now loved in secret I could not bring myself to leave Finland, and allow Elma to fan into the clutches of that high official who so persistently sought her end. No. I would go to him and face him. I was anxious to see what manner of man was "The Strangler of Finland." That same evening 1 left Abo, and traveled by ran to Helsingfors. At noon I descended from a drosky before a long, gray, masstve bunding, otwr the big doorway of which was a large escutcheon hearing the Russian arms emMaeoned in gold, and OH entering where a sentry stood on either side, a colossal concierge In Ifrery of bright Mne and gold came forward to Following his difoatlonsy I •> l tag a onrd to Ooiones took my who be informed me was the torn** nrtvate wfflewyeotf ywwlQ He Turned Slightly.

But when the footman had bowed and retired and we were alone, he turned slightly, and I then saw that his bony face, with high cheek bones, slight gray side whiskers, hard mouth and black eyes set closely together, was of one who could act without any compunction and without regret Truly one would not be. surprised at any cruel, dastardly action of a man with such a face—the face of an oppressor. "Well?" he snapped in French in a high-pitched voice. "You want to see me concerning that mad English girl? What picturesque lies do you Intend to tell me concerning her?" "I have no intention of telling any untruths concerning her," was my quick response, a I meed him unflinchingly. "She has told mo sufficient to—" His eyes met mine, and I saw by his drawn face and narrow brows that my words were canting him the utmost consternation. My object was to make him believe that I knew more than X really did—to hold him in fear, in fact "Perhaps the man whom tome know at Hornby, or Woodroffe, could tell an interesting story," I went on* "Ho will, no doubt when ho meets Elma Heath, and finds the terrible affliction of which the hat boon the fletim.* H3o thin, bony oonntentnoo wan bloodless, bis mouth twitched and his gray brewt conttnoted qulekiy. 1 heveirt t i e matt mean* my * dear atrV he -AH that yon any is entirety leaf to me.

"Assassination 1" I said. "Have you actually Bent her to prison as a murderess?" "I have not. The-Criminal court of Abo did go," he said dryiy. "The offense has since been proved to have been the outcome of a political conspiracy, and the minister of the Interior in Petersburg last week signed an order for the prisoner's transportation to the island of Saghalien." "Ah!" I remarked with set teeth. "Because you fear lest she shall write down your secret" "You are insulting! You evidently do not know what you are saying," he exclaimed resentfully. "I know what I am saying quite well. You have requested her removal to Saghalien in order that the truth shall never be known. But, Baron Oberg/*"T added with mock politeness, **you may do as you will, you may send Elma Heath to her grave, you may hold me prisoner if you dare, but there are still witnesses of your crime that will rise against you." In an instant he went ghastly pale, and I knew that my shot had struck Its mark. The man before me was guilty of some crime, but what it was only Elma herself could tell. "I merely wish to impress upon you the fact that I have not the slightest interest whatsoever in the person in question," he said coldly. "You seem to have formed some romantic attachment towards this young woman who attempted to poison Madame Vakuroff, and to have succeeded in rescuing her from Kajana. You afterwards disregard the fact that you are liable to a long term of Imprisonment yourself, and actually have the audacity to seek audience of me and make all sorts of hints and suggestions that I have held the woman a prisoner for my own ends!" "Not only do I repeat that, Baron Oberg," I said quickly. "But I also allege that It was at your instigation that in Siena the operation was performed upon the unfortunate girl which deprived ber of speech and hearing." He laughed again, but uneasily, a forced laugh, and leaned against the edge of the big writing table near the window. "Well, what next?" he inquired, pretending to be interested in my allegations. "What do you want of me?" "I desire you to give Mademoiselle Heath her complete freedom," I said. "But her future Is not in my hands. The minister In Petersburg has decreed her removal to Saghalien as a person dangerous to the state." "You have posed in England as the uncle of Elma Heath, and yet you here hold her a prisoner. For what reason?" I demanded. "She is held prisoner by the state— for conspiracy against Russian rule— not by herself personally." "Who enticed her here? Why, you, yourself. Who conspired to throw the guilt of this attempted murder of the general's wife upon her? You—you, the man whom they call 'The Strangler of Finland!' But I will avenge the cruel and abominable affliction you have placed upon her. Her secret— your secret Baron Oberg—shall be published to the world. You are her enemy—and therefore mine!" "Very well," he growled between his teeth, advancing towards me threateningly, his fists clenched in his rage. "Recollect m'sleuf, that you have insulted me. Recollect that I am governor general of Finland." "If you were csar himself, I should not hesitate to denounce you as the tyrant and mutilator of a poor, defenseless woman." "And to whom, pray, will you tell this romantic story of yours?" he laughed hoarsely. "To your prison walla below the lake of Kajana ? Yes, M'sieur Gregg, you will go there, and once within the fortress you shall never again see the light of day. You threaten me—the governor general of Finland!" he laughed in a strange, high-pitched key as he threw himself Into a chair and scribbled something rapidly upon paper, appending his signature in hit small, crabbed handwriting. 1 do not threaten," I said in open defiance, "I shall act" "And so shall I,M he said with an evil grin upon his bony face as he blotted what he had written and took It np, adding: "In the darkness and silence of your living tomb you can tell whatever strange stories you like concerning me.

I held m* breath, and I think I must have turned pale. My pocket was empty! My wallet had beea stolen! Entirely and helplessly I had fallen into the banda of the tyrant of the czar. We faced each other, and I looked straight into his gray, bony face, and answered in a tone of defiance: "Ah! you surely do not think that I, after ten years' service in the British diplomatic service, would dare to come to Finland upon this quest—would dare to face the rotten and corrupt officialdom which Russia has placed within this country—without first taking some adequate precaution? No, baron. Therefore I defy you, and I leave Helsingfors tonight" "You will not You are under arrest." I laughed heartily and snapped my fingers, saying: "Before you give me over to your police, first telegraph to your minister of finance. Monsieur de Wltte, and inquire of him who and what I am." "I doa't understand you." "You have merely to send my name and description to the minister and ask for a reply," I said. "He will give you instructions—or, if you so desire, ask his majesty yourself." "And why, pray, does his majesty concern himself about you?" he asked, at once puzzled. "You will learn later, after I am confined in Kajana and your secret is known in Petersburg." "What do you mean?" "I mean," I said, "I mean that I have taken all the necessary steps to be forearmed against you. The day I am incarcerated by your order the whole truth will be known. I shall not be the sufferer—but you will." My words, purposely enigmatical, misled him. He saw the drift of my argument, and being of course unaware of how much I knew, he was BtUl In fear of me. My only uncertainty was of the actual fate of poor Elma. My wallet had been stolen—with a purpose, without a doubt—for the thief had deprived me of that most important «f all documents, the open sesame to every closed door, the ukase of the csar. "You defy me!" he said hoarsely, turning back to the window with the written order for my imprisonment as a political still in his hand. "But we shall see." "You rule Finland," I said in a hard tone, 'T>ut you have no power over Gordon Gregg." "I have power, and intend to exert it." •** 'Tor your own ruin," I remarked with a self-confident smile. "The csar may be your patron, and you his favorite, but his majesty has no tolerance of officials who are guilty of what you are guilty of. You talk of arresting me!" I added with a smile. "Why, you ought rather to go on your knees and beg my silence." He went white with rage at my cutting sarcasm. He literally boiled over, for he saw that I was quite cool and had no fear of him or of the terrible punishment to which he intended to consign me. Besides which, he was filled with wonder regarding the exact amount of information which Elma had imparted to me. "Arrest me if you like. Denounce me by means of any He tjat arises to your lips, but remember tnat the truth is known beyond the confines of the Russian empire, and for that reason traces will be sought of me and full explanation demanded. I have taken precaution, Xavier Oberg," I added, "therefore do your worst. I repeat again that I defy you!" He paced the big room, his thin, clawlike hands still clenched, his yellow teeth grinding, his dark, deep-set eyes fixed straight before him. If he had dared he would have struck me down at his feet But he did not dare. I saw too plainly that even though my wallet was gone I still held the trump card—that he feared me. I had led him to believe that I knew everything, and that his future was in my hands, while he, on his part, was anxious to hold me prisoner, and yet dared not do so. The baron had halted, and was looking through one of the great windows down upon the courtyard below, where sentries were pacing. The palace wet for him a gilded prison, for he dared not go out for a drive in one or other of the parks or for a row on the water aorott to Hoghotmen or Dagero, being compelled to remain there for months without showing himself pub* Hcty. People in Abo had told me that when ho did go out Into the streets of Helsingfors It was at night and no usually disguised himself In the uniform of n private soMJor of the guard, tknt eerapfng recognition by those who, driven to desperation by tnjnttlee, sought his life.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, August 4, 1935 •"*KThe new automobile tax law which goes into effect January 1, next will bring a lot more money into the state and county treasuries, but will be bad newa to auto owners when they step up to to boy their 1916 licenses. Instead of the present 18. license fee they will have to pay at the rate of 25 cents per horsepower plus 25 cents per hundred pounds weight of the car. The secretary of state has figured out that the average price of a license will be about $13. The ordinary Ford -car will cost about $11 license fee and the larger cars much more. It is figured that next year about 135,000 licenses will be issued, as 102,000 have been issued already this year as against about 76,000 for the whole year 1914. The total sum paid for these licenses, it is estimated, will be abont $1,750,000, half of which will go to the state and half to the county in which the tax is paid.

The Invaders took up an ad* mirable defensive position. It ran just north of the Aisne river, on a series of bluffa, then just north of Chalons and through the wooded, rough regions of the Argonne and the Woevre, joining hands here with the troops besieging Verdun.

The mighty siege guns of the Germans made short work of the Belgian seaport, however, and it fell on October 9. The remnants ot the Belgian army retreated along the sea coast and the Germans in a final rush reached Ostend (October 15). Lino Extended to the Sea. The battle line of the Alans was now extended to the sea, the Germans holding the important French city of Lille, while the allies kept Ypres in Belgium and, partly by flooding the lowlands, held the position of the Tser river and canal. From October 16 to November 10 was fought the desperate first battle of Tpres, when the German* suffered enormous losses in attempts to break through the line in Flanders and reach Calais. They succeeded In pushing back the allies only a little and the invasion of Silesia by the Cossacks finally induced them to desist and send re-enforcements to Russia. The Germans in September had performed the feat of pushing a salient Into the French line south of Verdun, which terminated on the west bank of the Mouse river at S t Mlhiel; while the French* had taken the offensive with some success in Champagne at about the same time. For the most part throughout the winter the fighting consisted of regular siege warfare, with lieavy artillery combats and mine and counter-mine.* The flooding of the River Aisne from winter snows gave the Germans a chance to entrap the French troops on the north Bide of that river in the vicinity of Solssons for a considerable distance and kill or capture most of them (January 14). Take Offensive In Spring. With the spring, the French and English attempted to take the offensive at several points. In the Vosges the dominating height of Hartmannsweilerkopf was taken and retaken several times in sanguinary charges and finally remained in the hands of the French. The salient of St. Mlhiel was also subjected to tremendous French pressure on both 'Hegs." The French succeeded in gaining a little ground, but the Germans, despite the apparent weakness of the sharp wedge they had driven into the French line, could not be dislodged and later succeeded in regaining some of the territory they had lost. The British also reported "victories" at Neuve Chapelle and Hill No. 60, in Flanders. Whether these should be accounted successes for the allies is doubtful. The British suffered enormous losses and at Neuve Chapelle bungled affairs to the extent of shelling their own men who had taken German trenches. The next development was the unexpected use of poisonous gas fumes by the Germans In attacks Just north of Ypres. With this novel weapon they succeeded in taking several small villages and more than compensating for the British gains south of"Ypres. The losses of the Freacn, Canadians and British were severe, but they sue* ceeded in stemming the German onslaught effectively a few miles back from their former position. Begin aeries of Attacks. The German line makes a salient at Soissons, though not such a pronounced one as at S t Mlhiel. The French now began a series of attacks on the upper side of this salient, to the north Of Arras. Expending hundreds of thousands of shells, they time and again blasted away the barbed wire entanglements and concrete tranches, held by Crown Prince Rupprecut of Bavaria'a men, and than charged across the desolate ground for slight gains.

CAMPAIGNS IN THE EAST The first twelvemonth of fighting between the Russians on one side and the Austrlans and Germans on the other is a story of great changes of fortune, both combatants being repeatedly driven back only to show the greatest resiliency In defeat and soon to resume the offensive in a most surprising manner. Russia's losses in the first year of the war are not approached by those of any nation in any war of history. 8low to Mobilize. On August 1, 1914, Germany declared war on Russia Almost Immediately the Germans crossed the frontier at Thom and the Austrlans south of Lublin. They were practically unopposed because of the slowness of mobilization in Russia. The Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholalevitch was forced to gather his main armies well to the rear of the line of great fortresses running through Kovno, Grodno. Ossowets, Novo Georgievsk, Warsaw and Ivangorod. On account of his desire to do all he could to relieve the French, who were being driven from northern France by the amastng German rush through Belgium, Ntctiolas attacked sooner than he otherwise would have done. As a result, he met two disasters. He sent General Samsonoff into East Prussia from the south and General Rennenkampf into East l»russia from the east, the latter winning the first large engagement of the war in the East at Gnmbinen. At this moment the Germans, believing that the French were well in hand and about to be surrounded on their eastern frontier, quickly withdrew 250,000 men from France and hurled them by rail into East Prussia, where they fell upon Samsonoff with crushing force in the great German victory of Tanneaberg (Aug. 28). Meanwhile, the Austrlans, leaving only a few troops In Gallcia to hold back the Russiam advancing from Tarnopol on the line ot the Gnila-Lipa, struck the Russians en masse at Krasnik and routed them to Lublin. Most Bloody Drive of Wsr. With two armies in difficulty, the grand- duke decided to abandon one to its fate and save the other. He, threw re-enforcements into Lublin aad ordered the line of the Gnila- Lipa rrrer be forced at any cost. In one of the most bloody drives of the war the Russians advanced into eastern GaUda and occupied Lemberg.

The Germans withdrew to Silwia and the Russians, following closely, were able for a brief moment to raid this rich province at Pleschen. At the same time they, entered East Prussia again. But again the German sirategio railways proved their undoing. Hlndenburg concentrate 1 at Thorn and drove* into the right flank of the Russian main forces, throwing then back on Lods. He advanced too far, however, and when he had the Russian forces nearly surrounded, he suddenly found Russians in his own rear. In thLl extremity, the Russia as say, he telegraphed for re-enforcements. But before the re-en forcem^cts sent from Flanders arrived the Germans had managed at frightful coat to hack their way to safety. This w u the bloody battle of Lods. Wins Second Victory. With stronger German forces oppdting them the Russians withdrew to the line of Bzura, Rawa and Nlda rivers. At the same time the Austrlans, attempting to debouch from the Carpathian passes, were driven back everywhere, leaving 50,000 prisoners. With January Hiadenburg made a third desperate attack on Warsaw. For tan days, both night and day, the Germans came on. Then, having lott probably 50,000 men and the Russians nearly as many, they gave it up. Unable to reach Warsaw, Hindenbuig concentrated twice Siever's force 11 East Prussia, and won his secon4 overwhelming victory there. Enof* moos captures of Russians were made and the fortress of Gradno wat attacked farther west, from Ossowets to Pultusk. The Germans retreated to Mlawa and then tried to flank the Russians at Prsasnysc, which city they took. But the Russians again flanked the flanking party, as they had done at Lods and won an important suocess (February 22-28). In March and ApriL the Russians pressed through the western Carpathian passes and entered Hungary. Just when their future seemed brightest, the Germani broke the Russian line In West Gallcla and let through enormous forces. Pressing westward irresistibly, they took the Russian Carpathian armies in the rear. The latter tried to retreat, but vast numbers were captured.

I said In a Arm voice, in French: "I think, baron, our Interview aa end, Is It not? Therefore 1 yon good-day." He turned upon me suddenly an evil flash in his dark eyes, and a snarling imprecation in Russian upon his lips. His hand still held the order committing me to the fortress, "But before Z leave you will destroy -that document It may fall into other hands, you know," and I walked toward him with quick determination. "I shall do nothing of the kind!" he snapped. Without further word I snatched the paper from his thin, white fingers and tore it up before his face. His countenance went livid. I do not think I have ever seen a man's face assume when he asked me in I aaw, from his face, that he had news to impart "Welir I inquired "And what of the lady? Has she been foundV "Ah! your excellency. It is a pity you were not here yesterday," he said with a sigh. "Why? Tell me quickly. What has happened?" "I have been assisting the police aa spy, excellency, as I often do, and I have seen her." "Seen her! Where?" I cried in quick anxiety. "Here, in Abo. She arrived yesterday morning from Tammerfors accompanied by an Englishman. She had changed her dress, and was all in black. They lunched together at the Restaurant du Nord opposite the landing stage, and an hour later left by steamer for Petersburg.'1 "An Englishman!" I cried. "Did you not inform the chief of police, Boranski?" "Yes, your excellency. But he said that their passports being in order, it was better to allow the lady to proceed. To delay her might mean her rearrest in Finland," he added. "Then their passports were visaed here on embarking?" I exclaimed. "What was the name upon that of the Englishman r' "I have it here written down, excellency. I cannot pronounce your difficult English names." And he produced a scrap of dirty paper whereon was written in a Russian hand the name— "rMartin Woodroffe." CHAPTER XIV. ; . - / • &*? • spoiling the Spoiler. I went to the railway station, and from the time-table gathered that i t I left Abo by rail at noon I could be in Petersburg an hour before noon on the morrow, or about four hours before the arrival of the steamer by which the silent girl and her companion were passengers. This I decided upon doing, but before leaving I paid" a visit to my friend, Boranaki, who, to my surprise and delight, handed me my wallet with the oxer's letter intact saying that it had been found upon a German thief who had been arrested at the harbor on the previous night The fellow had, no doubt, stolen It from my pocket believing I carried my paper money in a flap, "The affair of the English lady la a moat extraordinary one," remarked the chief of police, toying with his pen as he sat at his big table. "She seems to have met this Englishman up at Tammerfors, or at some piece farther north, yet it la curious that her passport should be in order even though ahe fled so precipitately from Kajana, There la a mystery connected with her disappearance from the wood cutter's hut thai I confess I cannot fathom, " -Neither can !/• I said.-^1 know the nan who la wtth her, and cannot help fearing that he ii her bitterest enemy—that he ia acting in concert with the baron." "Then why is he taking her to the capital—beyond the Jurisdiction of the governor general?" 1 am going straight to Petersburg to ascertain," I said, «i have only come to thank yon for yota «Mnpss In this matter. Truth to ten, I have been somewhat surprised that you should have interested yourself on my behalf," I added, looking straight at the uniformed official I t ia not on yours, but on hen," he answered, somewhat enigmatically [ 1 know something of the affair, but it was my duty aa a man to help the poor cirt to escape fro* that terrible place.

But he, like his officials, is powerless. Here we speak of the great uprising with bated breath, but we, alas! know that it must come one day—Terr soon—end Finland will be first to endeavor to break her bonds— and the Baron Oberg first to falL" For nearly an hour I sat with him, surprised to find how, although his exterior was so harsh and uncouth, yet his heart really bled for the poor; starving people he was so constantly forced to oppress. "1 have ruined this town of Abo," he declared, quite frankly. 'To my own knowledge five hundred Innocent persons have gone to prison, and another two hundred have be»n exiled to Siberia. Yet what I have done is only at direct orders from Helsingfors— orders that are stern, pitiless and unjust Men have been torn from their families and sent to the mines, women have been arrested for no offense and shipped off to .Saghalien, and mere children have been cast into prison on charges of political conspiracy with their elders—in order to russify the province! Only,'' he added anxiously, "I trust you will never repeat what I tell you. You have asked me why I assisted the English mademoiselle to escape from Kajana, and I have explained the reason." We ate a hearty meaKn company at the Sampallnna, a restaurant built like a Swiss chalet, and at noon I entered the train on the first stage of my slow, tedious journey through the great silent forests and along the shores of the lakes of southern Finland, by way of Tavestehus and Viborg, to Petersburg. At four o'clock next day I was put upon the quay in that city, straining my eyes ' seaward for any sign of smoke, but could see nothing. It was after ten o'clock when a light shone afar off, and the movement of the police and porters on the quay told me that it was the vessel Then after a further anxious quarter of an hour-It came, amid great shouting and mutual imprecations, slowly alongside the quay, and the passengers at last began to disembark in the pelting rain. Suddenly I caught sight of two figures— one a man in a big tweed traveling coat and a golf cap, and the other the slight figure of a woman in a long, dark cloak and a woolen tamo'- shanter. The electric rays fell upon* them as they came up the wet gangway together, and there once again I saw the sweet face of the silent woman whom I had grown to love with such fervent desperation. The man behind her was the same who had entertained me on board the Lola—the man who was said to be the lover of the fugitive Muriel Leithcourt Without betraying my presence, I watched them paas through the passport office and custom house, and then, overhearing the address which Martin Woodroffe gave the lthvostchlk, I stood aside, wet to the skin, and saw them drive away. At eleven o'clock on the following day I found myself installed in the Hotel de Paris* a comfortable hostelry In the Little Morskaya. I was beneath the same roof as Elma, although she was in Ignorance of my presence. Anxious to communicate with her without Woodroffe's knowledge, I was now awaiting my opportunity. He had, it appeared, taken for her a pleasant front room with sitting room adjoining, on the first floor, while he himself occupied a room on the third floor. As far as I could gather from the French waiter wBom I judiciously tipped, he appeared to treat her with every consideration and kindness. "Has the English man received any visitors?" I asked. "One man—a Russian—an official of police, I think." I f he receives anyone else, let me know," I said. "And I want you to give mademoiselle a letter from me in secret" "Blen, m'stouT." I turned to the little writing table and scribbled a tew hasty lines to my love, announcing my presence, and asking her to grant me an interview in secret as soon aa Woodroffe waa absent I also warned her of the search for her Instigated by the baron, and urged her to send me a line in reply. The note waa delivered into her but although I waited a nearly an day she sent no reply. Whfle Woodroffe waa tn the hotel I hesftewld 1 to stem mtfapoaiOon and to sty seeals alow tn m I set at my I tore It open and read as follows: thDoueagrh t yForuie nwd—ereI stailnl aIn BAOb oB. urWpioieoeddr.o ffe JJ hthaes oathne ra papido©in otmf ethnte caitty e, igthhetr eof'ocrloec kco omne oloo cem. e Ia ta m8:1 1ID pIe rmlLu st see you. and at ET.MA HEATH. My love was in peril! It waa Just aa I bad feared. I thanked Providence that I had been sent to help her and extricate her from that awful fate to which "The Strangier of Finland" had consigned her. At the hour she named, after the waiter had come to me and announced the Englishman's departure, I descended to her sitting room and entered without rapping, for if I had rapped she could not, alas! have heard. The apartment was spacious and comfortable, thickly carpeted, with heavy furniture and gilding. From her low lounge chair a slim, wan figure sprang up quickly and came forward to greet me, holding out both her hands and smiling happily. I took her hands in mine, and held them tightly In silence tor some mo ments, as I looked earnestly into those wonderfully brilliant eyes cAhers. She turned away laughing, a slight flush rising to her cheeks in her confusion. Then ahe led me to a chair, and motioned me to be seated. Ours was a silent meeting, but her gestures and -the expression of her eyes were surely more eloquent than 8he Touched Her Red Lips With Tip of Her Forefinger. the mere words. I knew well what pleasure that re-encounter caused her— equal pleasure with that It gave to me. Until that moment I had never really loved. I had admired and flirted with women. What man has not? Indeed, I had admired Muriel Leithcourt But never until now bad I experienced in my heart the real flame of true, burning affection. The sweetness of her expression, the tender caress of those soft tapering hands, the deep, mysterious look In those magnificent eyes, and the incomparable grace of all her movements, combined to render her the most perfect woman I had ever met—perfect In alL alas! save speech and hearing, of which, with such dastard wantonness, she had been deprived. She touched her red lips with the tip of her forefinger, opened her hands and shrugged her shoulders with a sad gesture of regret Then turning quickly to some paper on the table at her side she wrote something with a gold pencil and handed it to me. It read: "Surely Providence has sent you here! Mr. Woodroffe must have followed you from England. He is my enemy. Ton must take me from here and hide me. They intend to send me into exile. Have you ever been In Petersburg before? Do you know anyone here?" Then when I had read, she handed me her pencil and below J wrote: T will do my best, dear friend. I have been once In Petersburg. Bat is it not best that we should escape at once from Russia?" •Impossible at present" she both he arrested at the It weald he heat to go into hiding here to Peteiebarg.

At that time I did not see tin dastardly trap he had laid in order to get me out of the baron's clutches and wring from me my secret It I jponfesa, he intends to give me up to r the police, who will send me to the mines." "Does your secret concern him?" I asked in writing. "Yea," she wrote in response, "It would be equally in his in^reata a* well as those of Baron Oberg if I were sent to Saghalien and my identity effaced. I am a Russian subject, as I have already told you, therefore with a ministerial order against me i am in deadliest peril" "Trust in me," I scribbled quickly. "I will act upon any suggestion you make. Have you any female friend in whom you could trust to hide you until this danger is past?" "There is one friend—a true friend. Will you take a note to her?" she wrote, to which I instantly nodded in the affirmative. - Then rising, she obtained some ink and pen and wrote a letter, the contents of which she did not show me before she sealed It I watched her write the superscription upon the envelope: "Madame Olga Stassulevltch, modiste, Scredni Prospect, 231, Vasill Ostroff." I knew that the district was on the opposite side of the city, close to the Little Neva. "Take a drosky at once, see her, and await a reply. In the meantime. I will prepare to be ready when you return," she wrote. "If Olga Is not at home, ask to see the Red Priest—jn Russian/ Krasny-pastor.' Return quickly, as I fear Woodroffe may come back. If so, I am lost." I assured her I would not lose a single Instant, and five minutes later I waa tearing down the Morskaya In a drosky along the canal and across the Nicholas bridge to the address upon the envelope. The house was, 1 found, somewhat smaller than its neighbors, but not let out in flats as the others. Upon the door was a large brass plate bear* ing the name, "Olga Stassulevltch: Modes." I pressed the electric button, and in answer a tall, clean-shaven Russian servant opened the door. "Madame is not home," was his brief reply to my VRquiry; 'Then I will see the Red Priest said in a lower tone "I come from Elma Heath." Thereupon, without further word, the man admitted me into the long, dark hall and closed the door with an apology that the gas was not lighted. But, striking a match, he led me up the broad staircase and into a small, cosy, well-furnished room on the second floor, evidently the eifr ting room of some studious person? judging from the books and critical reviews lying about. 'N For a few minutes I waited there, until the door reopened, and these entered a man of medium height with a shock of long, snow-white hair and almost patriarchal beard, whose dark eyes that age had dimmed flashed out at me with a look of curious inquiry* and" whose movements were those of a person not quite at his ease "I have called on behalf of Mademoiselle Elma Heath, to give this letter to Madame Stassulevltch, or if she la absent to place it In the hands of the Red Priest" I explained in my beat Russian. "Very well, sir," the old man responded in quite good English. 1 am the person you seek," and taking the letter he opened it and read it through. I saw by the expression on his furrowed face that its contents caused him the utmost consternation. His countenance, already pale, blanched to the lips, while In his eyes there shot a fire of quick apprehension. The thin, almost transparent hand holding the letter trembled visibly. "You know mademoiselle—eh?" he asked in a hoarse, strained voice aa he turned to me. "You will help her to escape?" "I will risk my own life in order to save hers," I declared. "And your devotion to her is prompt* ed by what?" he inquired suspiciously, I was silent for a moment Then 1 confessed the truth. "My affection." "Ah!" he sighed deeply. "Poor young lady!

W. Dickinson of the International Motor Contest association, who Is also secretary and general man -*ger"5f "the Michigan State Fair, at -which ^speed contests will be featured next September. Noted drivers from all over the country have signified their intention of being at Detroit for (be State Fair races and that the evenU will be closely contested la certain. Future of Racing la Assured. "With, the new rules adopted by the International Motor Speed Contest association, and dirt track racing upon a basis that practically guarantees the greatest possible protection to driver and car, as well as spectator, the future of dirt track racing ia assured," says Mr. Dickinson. "In the early days of dirt track sport way back in 1902 the speed of the machine had not reached a development equal to the speed possibilities of the track. When Alexander Winton's Bullet No. 1 traveled a mile in 1:06 4-5 there was a great deal more comment throughout the country than there is today when a racing car breaks a world's record, but the driver was not called upon to take the chances then as now. Before many months had passed the mark for the mile had been reduced to one minute flat by Barney Oldfleld, and then followed a series of speed trials which sent the records for all distances down to points where every attempt to beat them meant a game of chance. "Louis Chevrolet Invaded America, coming from abroad with his 90 Flat racer. Earl Klaer not only defeated Oldfleld, but won more races than any other man engaged In dirt track racing during the season of 1906, until he waa Injured In Cleveland. Web Jay. piloting the White Steamer, known as the "Whistling Blllle," drove the fastest mile that ever had been negotiated on a mile track, being credited with a mark under 50 seconds; The record was made on Merrls park track. New York, and was never officially recognised. Louis Chevrolet, the same year and at about the same time, established an official mark of 52 2-5 seconds with his Flat Disbrow Holds Record. "The mile track record made by Chevrolet stood until Walter Christie lowered it at S t Paul, Minn., during the first race meet ever held in connection with a state fair. Ralph De Palma in 1908 «nd 1900 made successful onslaughts- and finally, In 1910, Barney Oldfleld again came to the front and drove the first mile under fifty seconds that ever had been negotiated on a circular track. Ralph De Palma and Bob Burman came right bock at the veteran and knocked the figures below forty-eight seconds, and then Louis Disbrow, who had suddenly blossomed oat In 1912 as a dirt track star, sent the record to the lowest figure it has ever officially reached, the present record of 46.20 seconds.

The inhabitants of this house never buy anything at the door." Shortly afterward he was aroused by a loud knocking at his parlor window, and looking out he saw two fellows with clothes-props, mats, and pegs for sale. Throwing up the sash, he bawled: "Can you read?" "Yes, master," answered one. "Then don't you see a notice affixed to my knocker that 1 never buy anything at the door?" "To be Bure we do. That's the reason why we thought we would make be Id and try to do a little business at the window." The bachelor was pacified, and made a purchase.

The thjeevycar-old eon of Charley of ML Pleaaaat PLAY NEVER REAL "TRIUMPH" Sheridan Knewisw* Widely Known Drama of "VJi-flnlue" Is Open to Criticism. James Sheridan Knowlee, aa Irish schoolmaster, who bad also been an actor, whose father was first cousin to RichaasVBriasley Sheridan, brought to Macready a tragedy called "Vtrginius," widely proclaimed as a return to truth and to nature as aaaiast artificialities of the times. "Virginius" is aa admirable example of the ordinary bourgeois drama, a bourgeois drama applied, unfortunately, to Romkn tragedy* Everyone knows, of course, the story of the soldier Vlrgtniue, who killed his daughter rather than she should fall into the hands of Applus. When Shakespeare dealt with Roman plays he made, it is true, his characters Englishmen, but he made them, of heroic mold. Brutus and Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and the reat, are certainly not commonplace, even though one can hardly describe them as accurately drawn in accordance with their Latin types. But of all the characters of Sheridan Knowles' play it can safely be said that they are just mediocre, bourgeois, commonplace Englishmen and Englishwomen of the times. Virginlus, for Instance, is an excellent father of the middle class, whom we could imagine going' down to his city office every day and returning to the suburbs in the evening.

Their field of interest may range from solar mythology to eugenics, but the threefold badge of the tribe is an overweening belief in their own infallibility coupled with a proportionate contempt for ordinary human beings, the command of a barbarous jargon and an irrepressible desire to badger and bully their unfortunate fellow- creatures.

REAR ADMIRAL RETIRES ON ACCOUNT OF AGE SEN. S C O n GOES TO VILLA It Is Expected That Chief of Army Can Do Much to Bring Bandit to Terms of Conference. Washington—With the closing of preliminary conferences . regarding Fan-American interference for peace tn Mexico, and the departure Friday of General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, to EI Paso to confer with General Francisco Villa, it was apparent that the ftrtt stage of procedure has. been passed. General Scott fcces, wnoffiolally, with the avowed purpose of bringing Villa to terms. He is prepared to aire some plain talk to the peppery bandit chief, and it is hoped that he » a y be able to eliminate Villa completely as a factor in peace plans. It was reported that the general form of the final appeal to the factional leaders had been agreed upon by the conferees and adjournment taken while Mr. Lansing laid it before the president. The appeal will be addressed to the Mexican people. Copies will be pretested to the various Mexican leadare, to the governors of the Mexican states without regard to the faction thoy represent, and also be circulated throughout Mexico by American and Latin-American consular officers, bear- Jag the ratification of all South and Central American governments. Two days of conferences and hearing reports have brought all the partialpamta in accord with President Wilson's general plan which is promised on tho fact that the great majority of tho people of Mexico desire peace, which Is to be lasting. While all the partiolpants are in sympathy with the president's plan to Induce the military factions to enter another peace conference, and have signified their willingness to cooperate with it to the fullest extent, the South Americans are not sanguine of success unless some way can be found for elimination of the military leaders and recognition of all classes In Mexico. PUT OFF ELECTION OF PRESIDENT AMERICAN NAVAL FORCES, ARE BUSY PUTTING DOWN 018- « ORDERS IN HAITI. ' REBEL CHIEF IS CAPTURED Choice of President Is Indefinitely Postponed On til Insurrections Are All Quelled and Order Restored. CHARLE8 J. BADGER. Washington—Rear-Admiral Charles J. Badger retired Friday on account of age, but because olj his special qualifications will continue on duty indefinitely in connection with the army and navy joint board and the navy general board, which are working out national defense problems. Admiral Badger was born in Rockville, Md., August 6, 1858, and appointed to the naval academy by President Grant. He was commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet from January 4, 1918, until its return from the Mexican gulf coast after the American occupation of Vera Crux. Port au Prince—The election of a president of the republic to take the place of General Vilbrun Guillaume, who was removed from the French legation by a mob of Haitians July 28 and shot to death, was postponed Sunday for an indefinite period. The election was to have taken place Sunday. The American naval forces Sunday at Croix-Des-Bouquets, near Port au Prince, repressed some disorder on the part of a band of brigands. The chief of the band was taken prisoner and placed on board the United States cruiser Washington. Other disorders are reported to have occurred at St. Marc and Aux Cayes. GERMANS OCCUPY WARSAW Polish Capital Evseuated by Russians —New Government Will Be a Semi-Autonomous Stats. r Former Cabinet Member Dead. New York—General Benjamin Franklin Tracy, who was President Harrison's secretary of the navy, died of paralysis here Friday, after a period of unconsciousness lasting nine day*. He was 84 years old. General Tracy's death occurred ahortly after 8:80 p. m., and followed a fight for life that had amazed the physician at his bedside. Only his extraordinary vitality had kept him alive for the better part of the past weak. New Commander For French. Paris—General Maurice Sarrail has bean appointed commander of the French forces at the Dardanelles, it was announced Friday. The shift in Commanders at this time is believed to forecast a more energetic offensive by the land forces sent against the Turks. General Sarrail is one of the popular heroes of France. Though but little known at the outbreak of the war, he became famous through his defense at Verdun. Americans Take Haitian Ship. Port an Prince, Haiti.»—American aaral forces Friday took possession of the office of the port, the national palace and the Haitian gunboat Pa* tttkpta, which arrived in Port an Pttaoe Friday morning.

Tt* wttfc nwt vary law sldwloaa, w4M BMM to nam ta* atate iaatttatloaMi London—The Germans are In possession of Warsaw, capital of Poland and the third largest city in the Russian empire. Bavarian troops entered the city Friday morning, having taken successively the Blonle lines and the outer and inner fortresses of the city itself, the Russians only fighting rear guard actions to allow the^ir main army to make good its escape. While to the Bavarians commanded by Prince Leopold has fallen the honor of taking over Warsaw in the name of the German emperor and his consort, who are expected to make a state entry room, the real conquerors are the troops fighting under Field Marshal von Hindenburg, along the Narew river to the northeast; to the Austro-Germans, who crossed the Vistula to the south of the xlty, and to the armies of the Austrian Archduke Joseph Ferdinand and German Field Marshal von Mackensen, which are advancing northward between the Vistula and Bug rivers. From refugees who left Warsaw some days ago and have arrived at Moscow, it has been learned that Warsaw even at that early date had been denuded of virtually everything that might be useful to the Teutons. Factories had been stripped of their machinery and all war stores moved into the interior'of Russia, and the government of the city left to the Polish population. Berlin' reports a council held on Sunday, which formulated a proclamation declaring Poland to be a semiautonomous state, under joint Polish and Austro-Hungarian rule. This conforms with a recent decision of a Polish congress held at Piotrkow. Russian Poland, which proposed a joint Polish and Austro-Hungarian rule with a separate Polish army and the fullest Polish autonomy consistent with the strategic interests of Austria- Hungary. Manual On Game Laws. Lansing—One hundred fish and e laws which had either been repealed directly or had been slaughtered by Implication in some other law, were found and eliminated in considering a manual authorized by the last legislature. For years persona who read the fish and game laws as they were published by the secretary of state were puzzled. Apparently, after each session of the legislature* the acts of that session of the legislature, were merely added to the book without the obsolete ones being removed. MARKET QUOTATIONS Uve Stock.

MADE PROFIT OF HIS VISIT Unexpected Call of Paderewskf Turned to Good Account by Music Teacher. Paderewski arrived in a small western town about noon one day and decided to take a walk in the afternoon. While strolling along he heard a piano and, following the sound, came to a house on which was a sign reading: "Miss Jones. Piano Lessons 25 Cents an Hour." Pausing to listen, be beard the young lady trying to play one of Chopin's nocturnes and not succeeding very well. Paderewski walked up to the bouse and knocked. Miss Jones came to the door and recognized him at once. Delighted, she invited him in and he sat down and played the nocturne as only Paderewski can, afterward spending an hour in correcting her mistakes. Miss Jones thanked him and he departed. Some months afterward he returned^ to the town and again took the same walk. . He soon came to the home of Miss Jones and, looking at the sign, read: "Miss Jones. Piano Lessons $1 an hour.

I 1 W t ' . V / > ' >! CHAPTER XIV—Continued. —14— I stood before him open-mouthed. Who i n Russia had not heard of that mysterious unknown person who had directed a hundred conspiracies against the Imperial autocrat, and. yet the Identity of whom the police had always failed to discover. It was believed that Kampf had once been professor of chemistry at Moscow university, and that he had invented that most terrible and destructive explosive used by the revolutionists. The ingredients of the powerful compound and the mode of firing it were the secret of the nihilists alone—and Otto Kampf, the mysterious leader, whose personality was unknown even to the conspirators themselves, directed those constant attempts which held the emperor and his government in such hourly terror. Rewards without number had been offered by the ministry of the. interior for the/betrayal and arrest of the unseen man whose power in Russia, permeating every class, was greater than that of the emperor himself—at whose word one day the people would rise In a body and destroy their oppressors. "You are surprised," the old man laughed, noticing my amazement. "Well, you are not one of us, yet I need not impress upon you the absolute necessity, for mademoiselle's sake, to preserve the secret of my existence. It is because you are not a member of 'The Will of the People' that you have never heard of 'The Red Priest'—red because I wrote my ultimatum to the czar in the blood of one of his victims knouted In the fortress of Peter and Paul, and priest because I preach the gospel of freedom and Justice." '1 shall say nothing," I said, gazing at the strangely striking figure before me—the unknown man who directed the great upheaval that was to revolutionise Russia. "My only desire is to save Mademoiselle Heath." "Are you prepared to do so at the risk of your own liberty—your own life? Ah! you said you love her. Would not this be a test of your affection?" "I am prepared for any test, as long as she escapes the trap which her enemies have Bet for her. I succeeded in saving her from Kajana, and I intend to save her now." "Was It you who actually entered Kajana and snatched her from that tomb!" he exclaimed, and he took my hand enthusiastically, adding—"I have no further need to doubt you." And turning to the table he wrote upon a slip of paper, saying, "Take mademoiselle there. She will find a safe place of concealment. But go quickly, for every moment places you both in more deadly peril. Hide yourself there also." I thanked him and left at once. I found Elma in her room, ready dressed to go out, wearing a long traveling cloak, and in her hand was a small dressing case. She was pale and full of anxiety until I showed her the slip of paper which Otto Kampf' had given me with the address written upon if, and then together we hurried forth. The house to which we drove was, we discovered, a large one facing the Fontanka canal, one of the1 best quarters of the town, and on descending I asked the liveried dvornlck for Mad* ame Zurloff, the name which the "Red Priest" had written. "You mean t i e Princess Zurloff," remarked the man through his red beard. "Who shall I say desires to tea herr -Take that," I said, handing to him the piece of paper, which, besides the address, bore a curious cipher mark Uke three triangles Joined. He dosed the door, leaving us In the wide, carpeted haU, the statuary in which showed us that It was a richly tarnished place, and when a User inmates alar he returned, he coatooted at upstairs to a tan, glided lady la .hack stood gravely ta derly upon Elma's shoulder and looked into her eyes. Then, turning to me, she said: "So the Red Priest has sent you both to me! You are in danger of arrest, I suppose—you wish me to conceal you here?" - "I would only ask sanctuary for mademoiselle," was my reply. "For myself I have no fear. I am English, and therefore not a member of the Party." "Well," exclaimed the gray-haired lady smiling, leading my love across the luxurious room, the atmosphere of which was filled with the scent of flowers, and taking off her cloak with her own hands, "you are safe here, my poor child. If spies have not followed you, then you shall remain my guest as long as you desire." "I am sure it is very good of you. princess," I said gratefully. "Miss Heath is the victim of a vile and dastardly, conspiracy. When I tell you that she has been afflicted as she is by her enemies—that an operation was performed upon her in Italy while she was unconscious—you will readily see in what deadly peril she is." "What!" she cried. "Have her~enemies actually done this? Horrible!" "She will perhaps tell you of the strange romance that surrounds her1— a mystery which I have not yet been able to fathom. She is a Russian subject, although she has been educated in England. Baron Oberg himself is, I believe, her worst and most bitter enemy." "Ah! the Strangler!" she exclaimed with a quick flash in her dark eyes. "But his end is near. The movement is active in Helsingfors. At any moment now we may strike -our blow for freedom." "Who is this man Martin Woodrolfe, of whom she speaks?" asked the princess presently, turning to me. "I have met him twice—only twice," I replied, "and under strange circumstances." Then, continuing, I teld her something concerning the incidents of the yacht Lola. "He may be in love with her, and desires to force her into marriage," she suggested, expressing amazement at the curious narrative I had related. "I think not, for several reasons. One is because I know she. holds some secret concerning him, and another because he is engaged to an English girl named Muriel Lelthcourt." "Leithcourt? Lelthcourt?" repeated the princess, knitting her brows with a puzzled air. "Do you happen to know her father's name?" I was telling the story of the Leithcourts when the long, white doors of the handsome salon were thrown open and there entered a man whose hair fell over the collar of his heavy overcoat, but whom, in an instant I recognised as Otto Kampf. "I come, princess, In order to ex* plain to you," he said. "Mademoiselle fears rearrest, and the only house in Petersburg that the police never suspect is this. Therefore I send her to you, knowing that with your generosity you will help her in her distress." "It is all arranged," was her highness' response. "She will remain here, poor girl, until it is safe for her to go out of. Russia." Then, after some further conversation, and after my well-beloved had made signs of heartfelt gratitude to the man known from end to end of the Russian empire as "The Red Priest," the princess turned to me, saying: "I would much like to know what occurred before the Leithcourts left Scotland." T h e Leithcourts!" exclaimed Kampf in otter surprise. "Do you know the Leithcourts and the B a y Uah officer Durnford?" I looked into his eyes in amazement What connection could Jack Duruf ord of the marinee have with the adventurer, Philip Letthoovt? L however, recollected Jack's word, whan I duserfbed the vmtt of the Lola to Lashorn, and further I roooflectcd that very shortly ha would ha hank In Lenv hla tons of Mediterranean "Well," I said, "a mysterious tragedy occurred on the edge of a wood near the house rented by Leithcourt— a tragedy which has puzzled the police t o this day. An Italian named Santini and his wife were found murdered," "Santini!" gasped Kampf, starting up. "But surely he is not dead?** "No. That's the curious part of the affair. The man who was killed was a man disguised to represent the Italian, while the woman was actually the waiter's wife herself. I happen to know the man Santini well, for both he and his wife were for some years in my employ." The princess and the director of the Russian revolutionary movement exchanged glances. It was as though her highness implored Kampf to reveal to me the truth, while he, on his part, was averse to doing so. "And upon whom does suspicion rest?" asked her highness. "As far as I can make out, the police have no clue whatever, except one. At the.spot was found a tiny miniature crone of one of the Russian orders of chivalry—the cross of St. Anne." "There is no suspicion upon Lelthcourt?" she asked with some undue anxiety, I thought. "No." "Then why did the Leithcourts disappear so suddenly?" "Because of the appearance of the man Chater," I replied. "It is evident that they feared him, for they took every precaution against being followed. In fact, they fled, leaving a big party of friends In the house. The man Woodroffe, now at the Hotel de Paris, is a friend of Leithcourt as well as of Chater." "He was not a guest of Leithcourt when this man representing Santini was assassinated?" asked Kampf, again stroking his beard. "No. As soon as Woodroffe recognized me as a visitor he left—for Hamburg." "He was afraid to face you because of the ransacking of the British consul's safe at Leghorn," remarked the princess, who, at the same moment, took Elma's hand tenderly in her own and looked at her. Then, turning to me, she said: "What you have told us tonight, Mr. Gregg, throws a new light upon certain incidents that had hitherto puzzled us. The mystery of It all Is a great and inscrutable one— the mystery of this poor, unfortunate - i ii i »i fc^— i i, 1 1 , • "Ah!" he said, twisting his mustache thoughtfully. "That's Just the question. She may be the victim of that blackleg Woodroffe, who is one of the most expert swindlers in London, and who has already done two terms ol penal servitude. *\ "But he is on extremely friendly terms with Elma. It was he who succeeded in finding her In Finland, and taking, her beyond Oberg'a sphere of Influence to Petersburg." "Then It is certainly only an affected friendship, with some sinister motive underlying it." "She wrote a letter from her island prison to an old schoolfellow named Lydia Moreton, asking her to see Woodroffe at his rooms In Cork street, and tell him that through all she was across Europe from Petersburg to Calais, and I was again In London. It was a cold but dry November night and I sat dining with Jack Durnford at a small table in the big-well- Ut room of the Junior United Service dub. Easy-going and merry as of old, my friend was bubbling over with good spirits, delighted to be back again in town after three years' sailing up and down the Mediterranean, from Qib. to Smyrna, maneuvering always, yet with never a chance of a fight "Glad to be back!" he exclaimed, as he helped himself to a "peg." "I should rather think so, old chap. You know how awfully wearying the life becomes-out there. Lots going on down at Palermo, Malta, Monte Carlo, or over at Algiera, and yet we can never get a chance of it." Dinner finished, we went across to the Empire, where we spent the evening in the grand circle, meeting many men we knew and having a rather pleaaant time among old acquaintances. After the theater I Induced him to come round to the Cecy, and in the wicker chairs in the big portico before the entrance we sat to smoke our final cigars. And there, in a carefully careless way, I told him the story of the Leithcourts. "You seem a bit down in the mouth, Jack," I said presently, after we had been watching the cabs coming up, depositing the home-coming revelers from the Savoy or the Carlton. "Yes," he sighed. "And surely I have enough to cause me—after what I've heard from you." "What! Did the facts convey any bad news to you?" I inquired with pretended ignorance. "Yes," he said hoarsely, after a brief pause. Then he added: "And Martin Woodroffe is engaged to Muriel Lelthcourt Are you certain of this?" "Yes, quite certain." For some time Jack Durnford smoked in silence, and I could just distinguish his white, hard face in the faint light, for it was now late, and the big electric lamps had been turned out and we were In semldarkness. "That fellow shall never marry Muriel," he declared in a fierce, hoarse voice. "What you have Just told me reveals the truth. Did you meet Chater?" "He appeared suddenly at Rannoch, ^suffering she had kept her promise to &£ iN/S&r '• "J Have No Further Need to Doubt You." girl, greatest of all. But both of us will endeavor to help you to elucidate it; we will help poor Elma to crush her enemies—these cowardly villains who have maimed her." "Ah, princess!" I cried. "If yon will only help and protect her, yon win be dolus; an act of mercy to a defenseless woman. I lore her—I admit i t I have done my utmost; I have striven to solve the dark mystery, hut up to the present I have bean unsuccesafuL and have only remained, even tffl today, the victim of rlfmrmstanoo - "Let her stay with me," the kindly •wiling my love. "She wfJl ha safe and It the naming we wfU endea ta discover the rati and actual truth. And m response I took the and the Leithcourts fled precipitately and have not since been heard of." "Ah, no wonder!" he remarked with a dry laugh. "No wonder! But look here, Gordon, I'm not going to stand by and let that scoundrel Woodroffe marry Muriel." "You love her, perhaps?" I hazarded. "Yes, I do love her," he admitted. "And. by heaven!" he cried, "I will tell the truth and crush the whole of their ingenious plot Have you met Elma Heath?" he asked. "Yes," I said in quick anxiety. "Then listen," he said in a low, earnest voice. "Listen, and I'll tell you something." "There Is a greater mystery surrounding that yacht the Lola, than you have ever imagined, my dear old chap," declared Jack Durnford, looking me straight in the face. "When you told me about it on the quarterdeck that day outside Leghorn I was half a mind to tell you what I knew. Only one fact prevented me—my disinclination to reveal my own secrets. I loved Muriel Leithcourt, yet, afloat as I was, I could never see her*—I could not obtain from her own lips the explanation I desired. Yet I would not prejudice her—no, and I won't now!" he added with fierce resolution. "1 love her," he went on, "and she reciprocates my love. Ours Is a secret engagement made in Malta two years ago, and yet you-tell me that she has pledged herself to that fellow Woodroffe— the man known here in London as Dick Archer. I can't believe it—I really can't old fellow. She could never write to me as she has done, urging patience and secrecy until my return." "Woodroffe is at the present moment in Petersburg," I said. "I've just come back from there." "Tn 8U Petersburg!* he gasped, surprised. "Then he is with that villainous official. Baron Oberg, the governor general of Finland." "No; Oberg Is living shut up ta his palace at Helsingfors, fearing to go out last he shall ha aanaastnatad." was my answer. "And Elma? What has become of h e r r "She is In biding in Petersburg, awaiting such time aa I can gat her safely out of Russia." and than, tinning. I explained how aha and ...*.. ••*• £ • T h a t Fellow 8hall Never Marry Muriel." * ha cried acreely. "Have fftey actually dona that to the poor girl? Then they feared that aha would reveal the nature of tholr plot, him, and that the secret was still safe. "Exactly. And now the fellow fears that as you are so actively searching out t h e truth, she may yield to your demands and explain. He therefore Intends to silence her." "What! to kill her, you mean?" I gasped, in quick apprehension. "Well, he might do so, in order to save himself, you see," Jack replied, I tried to get from him all that he knew concerning Elma, but he seemed, for some reason, disinclined to tell. All I could gather was that Lelthcourt. was in league with Chater and Woodroffe, and that Muriel had acted as an entirely innocent agent. "We must And Muriel," he declared, when I pressed him to tell me everything he knew. "There are facts you have told me which negaf've my own theories, and only from her can we obtain t h e real truth." "But surely you know where she is? She writes to you," I said. "The last letter, which I received at Gib. ten days ago, was from the Hotel Bristol, at Botzen, in the Tyrol, yet Bartlett says she has been seen down at Eastbourne." "But you have an address where you always write to her, I suppose?" "Yes, a secret one. I have written and made an appointment but she has not kept I t She has been prevented, of course. She may be with her par* ents, and unable to come to London," "You did not know that they had fled, and were in hiding V "Of course n o t What I've h e e | l | tonight is newB to me — a m a s ^ f news."

All thia is in utter contrast with the unpleasant theory of Varro about dolla. He held that the dolls given to little Romans at Christmas—that is to say, at the Saturnalia-^represented original sacrifices of human beings to the Infernal god.—London Chronicle.

The experienos of Motherhood is a tryiagone to moat women and marks distinctly an epoch in their Uvea. Not one woman in a hundred is prepared or understands how to property care for herself. Of coarse nearly every woman nowadays has medical treatment at such times, bat many approach the experience with an organism unfitted for the trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother of children, and indeed child-birth under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing U that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist in going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia £. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and tnvigorator of the female organism. In m a n y homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's V e g e t a b l e Compound m a k e s w o m e n n o r m a l , healthy and strong.

Efforts have been made .to discover some medicinal agent which would cure the disease, and attempts have also been made to produce a serum, but this work is still in the experimental stage and L3 reliable curative agent has yet been discovered. Our main reliance must still be placed upon the careful and repeated disinfection of premises and of animals, together with the separation of healthy from diseased animals. Disinfection of Premises. The thorough disinfection of premises is essential. This may be satisfactorily accomplished by carrying out the following directions: 1. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall partitions, floors and other surfaces until free from cobwebs and dust 2. Remove all accumulations of filth by scraping, and if woodwork has become decayed, porous or absorbent it should be removed, burned and replaced with new material. 3. If floor is of earth, remove four inches from the surface, and In places where it shows staining with urine a sufficient depth should be replaced to expose fresh earth. All earth removed should be replaced with earth from an uncontamlnated source, or a new floor of concrete may be laid, which is very durable and easily cleaned. 4. All refuse and material from stable and barnyard should be removed to a place not accessible to cattle or hogs. The manure should be spread on fields and turned under, while the wood should be burned. 5. The entire interior of the stable, especially the feeding troughs and* drains, should be saturated by a disinfectant, as liquor cresolis composit e (U. S. P.) or carbolic acid, six ounces to every gallon of water in each case. After this has dried, the stalls, walls and ceilings may be covered with whitewash (lime wash), to each gallon of which should be added four ounces of chloride of lime. The best method of applying the dis infectant and the lime wash is by means of a strong spray pump, such as those used by orchardists. This method is efficient in disinfection against most of the contagious and infectious diseases of animals, and should be applied immediately following any outbreak, and, as a matter of precaution it may be used ones or twice yearly. 6. It is important that arrangements be made to admit a plentiful supply of sunlight and fresh air by providing an ample number of windows, thereby eliminating dampness, stuffiness, bad odor and other insanitary conditions. To prevent the bull from carrying the infection from a diseased cow to a healthy one, first clip the tuft of long -hair from the opening of the sheath, then disinfect the penis and sheath with a solution of one-half per cent of liquor cresolis com posit us, lyeol or tricresol, or 1 per cent creolin or carbolic acid, or 1 to 1,000 potassium permanganate in warm water. The only apparatus necessary Is a soft rubber tube with a large funnel attached to one end, or an ordinary fountain syringe and tube would serve the purpose. The tube should be inserted into the sheath and the foreskin held with the hand to prevent the immediate escape of the fluid. Elevate the funnel as high as possible, and pour In the fluid until the preputial sack is filled. In addition to this, the hair of the belly and inner sides of the thigh should be sponged with the antiseptic. This disinfection should invariably precede and follow every service. An aborting cow should receive immediate attention, and the animal should be removed to separate quarters, where she can receive appropriate treatment The fetus, membranes and discharges are particularly dangerous and should be gathered up and destroyed immediately by burning or burial in some safe place, and this followed by thoroughly disinfecting the stall. The uterus should be Irrigated daily with one of the antiseptics mentioned for the bull, using the same apparatus, and irrigation should be continued until discharge ceaseB. in addition, the external genitals, root of tail, escutcheon, etc., should be sponged daily with a solution twice as strong as that used for irrigation, and this latter treatment should be given the nonaborters as well. Should the preliminary symptoms of abortion be detected, the animal should be removed from the herd and treated as above. After abortion, breeding should not again be attempted within two months, or until the discharge shall have ceased, as the uterus would not be normal and the animal would either not conceive or would abort again In a short time. Great care should be used in purchasing cattle, and cows not. known to be free from the disease should be kept in separate quarters until this point is determined. If a herd bull is not kept then great care should be exercised to know that the animal used is free of disease and to see that he is properly treated both before and after service. Whenever it becomes necessary to separate diseased and healthy animals, it is especially Important that different attendants and utensils be provided for the two groups.» If a man is a coward be tries to make others believe he is cautious.

Assuming that the German sabma< rines are based at Zeebrugge. the time required for the passage to and from blockading stations off the ports of Great Britain would be about four days. The average time necessary for overhauling at the base between trips may be estimated at six dayB, and the time which'may be spent at sea itetween visits to the base cannot well exceed twenty days. Consequently it would be Impracticable to maintain more than about half of the total force of submarines on blockading stations There are forty-nine ports on the coasts of England, Scotland and Wales which it would be necessary for the German submarines to blockade If all supplies are to be cut off. An effective blockade of any port could scarcely be maintained In the face of defensive operations, which must be expected, with leas than three submarines, and double that number would be none too many. If the minimum number of three boats be allowed for each port, the Germans would require at least 147 constantly on station to close all the ports of Great Britain; that Is, allowing for the necessary passage time to and from the base and the essential overhauling period, the total force should be 294 submarines.—World's Work.

In some sections the primitive fashion of planting in holes is still employed. When the trench ts planted the pieces of cane are lightly covered with earth. In a few weeks they show growth above the ground, the germ buds at the rings having begun to Ehoot out In the form of young cane, the ring having at the same time thrown out rootlets into the soil. The parallel trenches are made far enough apart, say at least three feet, to enable the workers, when the widespreading canes are getting ripe, to go between the rows and remove the dying leaves which burden the ripening cane, thereby enabling the naked cane to mature faster. — The Imitative Hawk.

His early life being spent on the old farm, he afterward removed to the village and engaged in the harness business, which he followed for oyer forty years. On January 18, 1872, he was united in marriage to Mary J. Wilcox, who survives him, together with six sisters and two brothers, two sisters haviog preceded bim to the Great Beyond.

Mrs. Devereaux climbed from her buggy, to grasp her animal's bit The Htruggling horse stepped on her foot, throwing her to the ground, allowing the buggy to pass over her prostrate body. The bones of the foot were crushed and her back injured. At this writing she is doing as well as can be expected.

Miss Ashford seems to have blazed the trail in more ways than one, as she is the first woman from the Hawaiian islands to leave her native country for an education, and she is also the first woman on the islands to study law. She will return home after her graduation in July, and will then be the first woman to practice law in Hawaii. Miss Ashford is the daughter of Judge 0. W. Ashford of Honolulu.

Despite the rain the evening before, a huge crowd gathered for the fit. Mary's picnic in Jackson's Grove last Thursday. The ladies of the parish out did themselves furnishing good things to eat. AH went well until about three o'clock, the time set for the speech making, when down came such a torrent of rain that several were drenched as shelter could not be provided for all composing the large assembly. As a consequence the ball game as well as the speeches had to be called off. It looked rather dubious as to whether the showers at night would hold off long enough for people to attend the dance at the opera house, but about fifty couple braved the storm and enjoyed a fine time. Several couple from surrounding towns were also present at the dance. Every person big and little enjoyed the day, even though the rain did make things rather uncomfortable. The North Lake band played at the picnic grounds, while an orchestra from Jackson furnished the music for the dance South Iosco spent ik'\ . >•*»• State Fair Tickets This office has been greeted the rivflege of selling tickets for the Pair at Detroit, to be held September 6 to 15, at 35csia*> sdsatseioa or 3 lot $1.

THE WINDOW GARDEN By EBEN E. REXFQRD. It may not seem reasonable to the reader to treat of winter window gardens in midsummer, but J careful consideration of the subject from my point of view will convince the flower* loving person, I feel quite sure, that this article Is "timely." Look over the window gardens of your neighbors, in winter, wnen they ought to be at their best to give the fullest degree of satisfaction, and I think you will find the majority of them far from satisfactory. The plants will be small, much too •mail to be ornamental; and if you keep, an eye on them throughout the season you will find that few of them reach the flowering stage before March, which is to say that most specimens in the ordinary house col* lection of plants give few or no flowers at the period when a window garden should afford us the greatest amount of pleasure. What we aim at is flowers in winter —not in the spring, when the blossoms of the outdoor garden are at hand. Said a woman to me, not long since: "I don't see why it is that 1 cant haye flowers in the winter. Some of my friends have, and they don't take half as good care of their plants as I do. Why, some of them don't repot their plants at all, still I notice they have flowers from them; and 1 go over all my plants just before winter sets in, and repot them and cut them back or start new ones and take pains to give them the best soil and am so careful about watering, and fertilizing, and airing, but most of them will not blossom for me. They look healthy and they grow well, but one doesn't care for just leaves. Now, this woman's failure to obtain flowers from her plants was explained by three words she made use of—"just before winter." The attention she gave the plants at that period came several months too late. The fact Is, as anyone will readily see when they come to think the matter over, a plant cannot be satisfactorily developed in two or three months. Not much can be expected .from a plant that is not made ready for winter until that season is about upon us. In order to secure a good collection Of good-sized plants for the winter. oae must begin to get ready during the summer. By the term "good-sized," I do not mean targe plants In the usual sense of the word, but rather plants of sufficient development to Justify one in expecting flowers from them for the holidays. Age is often a more important factor in plant culture than mere sine. Young plants seldom bloom while development is taking place most rapidly. They must "get their growth" so to speak, before we can expect them to bend their energies to the production of flowers. Therefore, I advise the owner of a collection of house plants from which she wishes to secure flowers all through the winter season to get the plants under way now. If some of them are large, cut them back and allow them to renew themselves wholly, as to branches, during the months between now and winter. Report now, if necessary, and shift such as seem to need larger pots.' If young plants are to be used, procure them at once and keep them going ahead steadily. Do not be so anxious to secure rapid development that you fall into the error of overfeeding. Simply aim to bring about a strong, healthy growth, and as long as a plant seems to be making such growth do not make use of the fertilizers. Some persons are under the impression that all plants for winter use must be young ones. Such is not the case, however. Tear-old plants, as a general thing, are much preferable to the young ones. There are exceptions as in the case of Chinese primroses, Primula obconlca and others of a habit similar, in some respects to our annuals; but for the majority of plants adapted to house culture like geraniums, heliotropes, begonias, abutilons, asparagus in variety and carnations, older plants should always be chosen. This summer I start the geraniums which I intend to depend upon for winter flowers a year from the coming winter. The person who preaches "young plants for winter flowering" to you does not take Into consideration the fact that a plant started this season from a cutting will have but few branches by winter, and a plant that has but few branches cannot give many flowers because ample flowering surface means many branches. Therefore, instead of letting the geraniums you Btart this summer blossom in the winter, keep pinching them back to produce a sufficient number of branches to give the desired amount of flowering surface.

They destroy much of the first crop, Injure the quality of what remains, and compel early cutting to prevent total loss. The actual damage to the first crop is not far from 50 per cent of its value. Upon the cutting of the first crop the larvae gather upon the bit of food which is afforded by the new shoots and destroy them as fast as they appear. This condition lasts until the normal harvest time of the second crop, so that it is a total loss. The damage to the first two crops usually amounts to about one-half the annual I yield. ! A valuable method for preventing i the injury to the second crop consists in brush dragging the stubble after removal of the first cutting. This was devised by the Utah experiment sta* tion in co-operation with farmers. It was improved later, however, In actual practice by the adoption of a weighted spike-tooth harrow with several layers of woven wire stock fencing underneath, instead of the oldfashioned brush drag. This treatment was widely adopted as a means of crushing the insects, and also as a means of exposing them to the rays of the sun and to the choking action of the dust The bureau of entomology has proved that neither the mechanical crushing nor the direct rays of the sun contribute much to the effectlveness of the dust-mulch treatment, and that most of the insects in all stages die long before they are smothered by the dust The essential factor in killing the weevils is the heat absorbed by the soil from the sun's rays. To kill the weevil the surface of the field to be treated must be dry, free from clods, cracks and vegetation. To get best results, however, the sky must be clear and the weather warm. Under these conditions when the soil reaches the necessary temperature of 120 degrees all stages of the insect are killed In leas than two minutes. The second crop of alfalfa U then free to grow. The effectlveneM of this treatment, however, Is directly; proportional to the thoroughness with which the above conditions are compiled with. If the soil Is not In good condition it must be cultivated before dragging. The great objections to this method of fighting the weevil ls; that it requires much cultivation of the alfalfa at the busy haying season. Poison for Alfalfa Weevils, Several farmers have adopted the method of spraying the alfalfa stubble with arsenate of lead instead of creating a dust mulch. Apply the poison at the rate of 12 pounds In four barrels of water per acre. Where a large area Is to be covered a gasoline engine for power is necessary. Two lines of hose are operated by two men and bordeaux noszles held at a distance of about 1½ feet from the ground. Equally good work could probably be done with a small quantity of arsenate of lead by a better method of distribution. This spray method, however, is better adapted to large fields than the dust-mulch meth- Alfalfa Weevil. od. It is also applicable as well to the rooky fields where cultivation Is not desirable. Analyses and feeding tests show that there is not the slightest danger of poisoning animals which eat the hay. If the field needs cultivation, a combination of both spraying and brush dragging from the standpoint of cultivation, however, is lost when followed by irrigation. ^ * * ^ ^ * ^ ^ ^ * ^ ^ * ^ ^ * ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ t ^ ^ ^ ^ » ^ » m.^ J. ^^^m^Y^^^-(/^f^f^\f\x-y\fxj\jxj\f^f\j^f HARDIEST FALL COVER CROP Winter Vetch Is Superior to Crimson Clover—Will Make Vigorous Growth in Early Spring.

CHAIRMAN MAKES SOME SENSATIONAL CHARGES SAYS BIGGER NAVY WANTED Mora Submarine* Will bo Bought But Government Will Continue to Build Dreadnoughts. Washington—Secretary of the Navy Daniels announced Friday that the naval advisory board, of which Thomas A. Edison is to be chairman, probably will be organised and ready to begin work the middle of September. All of the scientific societies which were Invited to name members for service on the board have signified a purpose to respond. Ten of the societies already have made their nominations. Secretry Daniels declined to give the names of any of the scientists who have been chosen by the societies to serve on the board. It is known, however, that if these societies fail to name for the board certain men of large caliber whom Secretary Daniels believes should be invited, he himself will make the designations. The indications are that the board will be made up of at least 21 members and possibly more. A final conclusion on this matter has not been reached. Mr. Daniels hopeB to be in a position to name the personnel of the board by the end of August. Secretary Daniels took occasion to say Friday that in his opinion there Is a strong public sentiment for a greater navy. He said the correspondence of the department shows that the eountry is taking a deeper interest in naval affairs than ever before. There appears to be a good deal of sentiment, according to Secretary Daniels, favorable to the construction of more submarines and air craft. Mr. Daniels intimated that the government would undoubtedly buy more [ dearly Bhowed. submarines in the future but it would ! continue to build the dreadnoughts proportionate to the increases authorised for the navy.

Chicago—Charges that some members of the federal commission on industrial relations had their reports dictated by "Wall street," and threats of those accused to withdraw from the commission, marked a cyclonic executive session of the commission Friday.

Walsh said the report must show who was responsible for the "shooting of innocent women and children in Colorado, as the evidence SURVEY OF STATE BEAN CROP Steps Taken to Prevent Speculation By Fixing Selling Price.

FLYERS OF STATE WARNED Communication From State Department to Governor Calls Attention to Prohibited Areas In Canada. Ferris Appoints Williams to Beneh. Lansing—Governor Ferris Friday appointed William B. Williams to be Judge of the new fortieth judicial circuit, created by the last legislature by taking Lapeer county out of the Oakland- Lapeer circuit and making it a separate circuit. Williams is the oldest practicing attorney in Lapeer county, and was formerly a partner of Harrison Oeer. He la a republican, but the democrats of Lapeer county joined with the republicans In asking his appointment. Lansing—Michigan aviators are liable to be shot for German spies if they cross the Canadian border in their machines, according to a warning sent out by the British embassy at Washington and forwarded to Governor Ferris by Secretary of State Lansing. Many months ago publicity was given in Michigan regarding prohibited areas In Canada and the British embassy says such warnings have not been heeded in all instances. The letter says: "I should feel much obliged If the attention of the proper authorities could be drawn to the fact that the troops' of the Dominion are under arms and that there Is danger of regrettable incidents occurring if the practice of flying across the border continues. I feel sure that the persons concerned will, in the interests of their own safety, recognize the necessity of strict attention to the Canadian regulations." Bride of One Day Is Drowned.

Washington—A communication, in the form of a reply to the Austria^ Hungarian protest against the ship, ping of war supplies to the Allies by American manufacturers, was made public Monday morning. Vienna is informed that this government will not; consider an embargo on this shipping. While President Wilson in this note, as in all others to European governments on the war Issues, takes his stand firmly upon the principles involved and upon the usage of nations, he introduces another feature which by many Is regarded as the most striking of the note. The president bases his refusal to consider the Austrian suggestion on the principal grounds of its effect upon the ability of the United States to meet a foe in the event of war. This government tells Austria that it has been the policy of the United States from the foundation of the republic not to maintain In time of peace a large military establishment or stores of arms and ammunition; that the United States has, in fact, always depended upon the right and power to purchase arms and ammunition from neutral nations in case of foreign attack. The following are pertinent paragraphs of the communication: "In this connection it is pertinent to direct the attention of the imperial and royal government to the fact that Austria-Hungary and Germany, partlculary the latter, have during the years preceding the present European war produced a surplus of arms and ammunition which they sold throughout the world and especially to belligerents. Never during that period did either of them suggest or apply the principle now advocated by the imperial and royal government." "Perceiving, as it does, that the adoption of the principle that it is the duty of a neutral to prohibit the sale of arms and ammunition to a belligerent during the progress of a war would inevitably give the advantage to the belligerent which encouraged the manufacture of munitions in time of peace and which had laid in vast stores of arms and ammunition In anticipation of war, the government of the United StateB Is convinced that the adoption of the theory would force militarism on the world and work against that universal peace which is the desire and purpose of all nations which exalt justice and right progress in their relations with one another." "In view of the positive assertion in the statement of the imperial and royal government as to the unanimity of the text writers as to the exportation of contraband being unneutral, this government has caused a careful examination of the principal authorities on international laws to he made. As a result of this examination It has come to the conclusion that the Imperial and royal government has been misled and has inadvertently made an erroneous assertion. Lees than one-fifth of the authorities advocate unreservedly the prohibition of the export o fcontraband. Several of those who constitute this minority admit that the practice of nations has been otherwise. It may not be inopportune to direct particular attention to the declaration of the German authority, Paul Ielnicke, who states that at the beginning of a war, belligerents have never remonstrated against the enactment of prohibitions on trade in contraband but adds 'but suoh prohibitions may be considered as viola* tlons of neutrality or at least as unfriendly acts, if they are enacted during a war with the purpose to close unexpectedly the sources of supply to s partv which heretofore had relied on them.' "The government of the United States deems it unnecessary to extend further, at the present time, a statement to the Austrlsa-Hunjarlaa government The principles of international law, the practioe of nations, tht national safety of the United States and ether nar'nus without great military and ns 1 establishments, the prevention of increased armies and navies, the adoption of peaceful methods for the adjnstanent of internatlea* el differences and finally, neutrality itself are opposed to the prosUbttloo by a neutral nation of the tkm of arms, ainmaattlon*, or 'ttsmtttoas of war to bettgeront now « • during the ptogress of the, war. -(Signed) "LAXStNO." Dried fruit is quite as nice as fresh but it has been overworked In the alleged interest of economy. It will make a dessert second to none, if properly used. The covered enameled ware <uaae role is the proper cooking utensil for dried fruit Let it soak over night and cook very slowly, and it will regain its shape and also Its finest flavor. In addition it should hare some sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes soaked in just enough wine to cover them and then cooked in this way taste like something costly. Apricots cooked with raisins are good So are dried apples cooked in the good, old fashioned way, in cider. A mixture of two or three kinds of dried fruit all cooked together, is good. Dried peaches —add a little vanilla to the sirup when they are done. Dried cherries are not used here to any extent but In England, where the cherry is an old and famous fruit they are used with currants^ n plum cake, and very nice they are. It is perfectly practicable to use any sort of dried fruit cooked slowly in this way, to add flavor to bread puddings or steamed puddings. The fruit can be either mixed with the bread pudding or put In the dish with the bread on top, or In layers; but when It 1B used the bread should not be soaked in milk; the fruit juice will make enough moisture, and the bread should merely be soaked enough In water to make It soft and cooked with the fruit, covered. WOLVERINE News Brevities FOR -THE MORNING REPAST Some Dishes Thst Are More Than Usually Acceptable In the Hot Weather. In the summer this meal should be simple and of wholesome, easily digested food. Of course things must be tasty, and quite as much thought and pains should be expended on a light breakfast as on a heavy one. Foods should be selected in reference to their suitability to one another and the season.

She would then seply here, no doubt. I've told you practically everything, my dear old fellow. The*fact* of the affair can be made known only by Muriel. I tell you, we must find her." "Yes, we muat^-at all hazards," I •aid. "Let's go across to the telegraph office opposite Charing Cross. It's open always." And we rose and walked out along the Strand, now nearly deserted, and dispatched an urgent message to Muriel at an address in Hurlingham road, Fulham. Afterwards we stood outside on the curb, still talking, I loath to part from him, when there passed by in the shadow two men In dark overcoats, who crossed the road behind us to the front of Charing Cross station, and then continued on towards Trafalgar square. As the light of the street lamp fell upon them I thought I recognized the face of one as that of a person I had seen before, yet I was not at all certain, and my failure to remember whom the passer-by resembled prevented me from saying anything fur ther to Jack than: "A fellow I know has just gone by, I think." "We seem to be meeting hosts of friends tonight," he laughed. "After all, old chap, it does one good to come back to our dear, dirty old town again. We abuse it when we are here, and talk of the life in Paris and Vienna and Brussels, but when we are away there is no place on earth so dear to us, for it is 'home.' But there!" he {laughed, "I'm actually growing romantic. Ah! if we could only find Muriel! ^But we must tomorrow. Ta-ta! I shall go around to the club and sleep, ifor I haven't fixed on any diggings y e t Come In at ten tomorrow, and iwe will decide upon some plan. One jthlng Is plainly certain—Elma must a t once be got out of Russia. She's certainly in deadly peril of her life there." . "Yes," I said. "And you will help tne?" 1 "With all my heart, old fellow," answered my friend, warmly grasping any hand, and then we parted, he strolling along towards the National Gallery on his way back to the "Junior," while I returned to the Cecil alone. "Captain Durnford?" I inquired of the hail porter of the club next morning. "Not here, sir." "But he slept here last iright," I remarked. "I have an appointment with him." The man consulted the big book before him, and answered: "Captain Durnford went out at 4):27 last night, air, but has not returned." Strange, I thought, but although I waited in the club nearly an hour, he did not put in an appearance. About four o'clock, as I was passing through the big hall of the hotel, 1 heard a voice behind me utter a greet* lug in Italian, and, turning in surprise, found Ollnto, dressed in his best suit of black, standing hat in' hand. In an instant I recollected what Jack had told me, and regarded him with some suspicion. *8ignor Commendatore," he said in a low voice, as though fearing to be overheard, "may I be permitted to apeak to private With y o u r "Certainly," I said, and I took him In a lift up to my room, "I nave come to-warn-yon, aigaore," he aaid, when 1 had given him a teat T o o r enemies mean harm to yon.** "Look here, Olmtot" I exclaimed rmteedly, 'Tve had enough of this mystery.

He nodded, after a moment's hesitation. "And you know also a man named Archer— who. is sometimes known as Hornby, or Woodroffe—as well as ft friend of his called Chater." t "Si, signore," he said. "I have met. them all—to my regret." "And have you ever met a Russian— a certain Baron Oberg—and his niece, Elma Heath?" "His niece? She isn't his niece." "Then who is she?" I demanded. "How do I know? I have seen her once or twice. But she's dead, Isn't she? She knew the secret of those men, and they intended to kill her. I tried to prevent them taking her away on the yacht, and I would have gone to the police—only I dare not because my own hands were not quite clean. I knew they intended to silence her, but I was powerless to save her, poor young lady. They took her pn board Leithcourt's yacht, the Iris, and they sailed for the Mediterranean, I believe." "And what was your connection with them?" "Well, I was Leithcourt's servant," was bis reply. "I was steward on the Iris for a year, until I suppose they thought that I began to see too much, and then I was placed in a position ashore." "And what did you see?" "More than I care to tell, signore. If they were arrested I should be arrested, too, you see." "But I mean to solve the mystery, Olinto," I said fiercely, for I was in no trifling mood. "I'll fathom it If it costs me my life." "If the slgnor solves it, then I cannot be charged with revealing the truth," was the man's diplomatic reply. "But I fear they are far too wary." "Armlda has lost her life. Surely that is sufficient incentive for you to bring them all to justice?" "Of course. But If the law falls upon them, it will also fall upon me." I explained the terrible affliction to which my love had been subjected by those heartless brutes, whereupon he cried enthusiastically: "Then she is not dead! She can tell us everything!" "But cannot you tell us?" "But what is the use, if we have no clear proof?" was his evasive reply. I could see plainly that he feared being implicated in some extraordinary plot, the exact nature of which he BO steadfastly refused to reveal to me. We talked on for half an hour, and from his conversation I gathered that he was well acquainted with Elma. "Ah, signore, she was such a pleasant and kind-hearted young lady. I always felt very sorry for her. She was in deadly fear of them." "But why did they induce you to entice me to that house in Lambeth? Why did they so evidently desire that I should be killed?" "By accident," he interrupted, correcting me. "Always by accident," and he smiled grimly. "Surely you know their secret motive?" I remarked. "At the time I did not," he declared. "I acted on their instructions, being compelled to, for they hold my future in their hands. Therefore I could not disobey. You knew too much, there* fore yon were marked down for death —just as you are now." "And who is it who is now seeking my life VI Inquired gravely. *i only returned from Russia yesterday." T o u r movements are well known," answered the young Italian. "Yon cannot be too careful. Woodroffe has bees in Russia with yon, has he not? And Chater is in London."

"You are a marked man. Ah! do I not know," he exclaimed breathlessly. "If you go out you may run right into—well, the fatal accident" "fcever fear, Olinto," I replied reassuringly. "I shall keep my eyes wide open. Here, in London, one's life is safer than anywhere else in the world, perhaps—certainly safer than In some places I could name in your own country, eh?" at which he grinned. The next moment he grew serious again, and said: "I only warn the signore that if he goes out it is at his own peril." "Then let it be so," I laughed, feeling self-confident that no one could lead me into a trap. I was neither a foreigner nor a country cousin. I knew London too well. He was silent and shook his head; !h*n, After telling me that he was still at the same restaurant in Westbourne Grove, he took his departure, warning me once more not to go forth. Half an hour later, disregarding his words, I strode out into the Strand, and again walked round to the "Junior." The short, wintry day had ended, the gas lamps were lit and the darkness of night was gradually creeping on. Jack had not been to the club, and I began now to grow, thoroughly uneasy. He had parted from-me at the corner of the Strand with only a five minutes' walk before him, and yet he had apparently disappeared. My first impulse was to drive to Nottlng Hill to inquire of Muriel if she had news of him, but somehow the Italian's warning words made me wonder If he had met with foul play. I suddenly recollected those two men who had passed by as we had talked, and how that the features of one had seemed strangely familiar. Therefore I took a cab to the police station down at Whitehall and made inquiry of the inspector on duty in the big, bare office with its flaring gas jets In wire globes. He heard me to the-end, then turning back the book of "occurrences" before him, glanced through the ruled entries. "I should think this Is the gentleman, sir," he said. And he read to me the entry as follows: P. C. 462A reports that at 2:07 a. m., while on duty outside the National Gallery, he heard a revolver shot, followed by a man's cry. He ran to the corner of Suffolk street, where he found a gentleman lying upon the pavement suffering from a serious shot-wound in the chest and quite unconscious. He obtained the assistance of P. C.'s 218A. and J43A, and the gentleman, who was not identified, was taken to the Charing CrosJ hospital, where the house surgeon expressed a doubt whether he could live. Neither P. C.'s recollect having noticed any suspicious- looking person In the vicinity. JOHN PERVICAL, Inspector. I waited for no more, but rushed round to the hospital in the cab, and was, five minutes later, taken along the ward, where I identified poor Jack lying in bed, white-faced and unconscious. "The doctor was here a quarter of an hour ago," whispered the sister. "And he fears he is sinking." "He has uttered no words?" I asked anxiously. "Made no statement?" "None. He has never regained consciousness, and I fear, sir, he never will. It is a case of deliberate murder, the police told me early this morning." I clenched my fists and swore a fierce revenge for that dastardly act And as I stood beside the narrow bed, I realized that what Olinto had said regarding my own peril was the actual truth. I was a marked man. Was I' never to penetrate that inscrutable and ever-increasing mystery? CHAPTER XVI. The Truth About the Lola. Throughout the long night I called many times at the hospital, but the reply was always the same. Jack had not regained consciousness, and the doctor regarded his case as hopeless. In the morning I drove in hot haste to Bassett road, Nottlng Hill, and at the address Ollnto had given me found Muriel. When she entered the room with folding doors Into which I had been shown, I saw that she was pale and apprehensive, for we had' not met since her flight and she was, no doubt at a loas for an explanation. But I did not prats her for one. ! merely toM her that tha Italian Banttnl had given ma her address and that I came as hearer of unfortunate newt. ~ "What is i t r she gasped qalckly.

"Then they have followed him. after all! They have deceived me, and now, as they Intend to take him from me, I will myself protect him. You, Mr. Gregg, have been in peril of your life, «that I know, but Jack's enemies are yours, and they shall not go unpunished. May I see him?" "I fear not but we will ask at the hospital." And after the exchange of some further explanations we took a hansom back to Charing Cross. At first the Bister refused to allow Muriel to see the patient, but she implored so earnestly that at last she consented, and the distressed girl in the black coat and hat crept on tiptoe to the bedside. "He was conscious for a quarter of an hour or so," whispered the nurse who sat there, "He asked after some lady named Muriel." The girl at my side burst Into low sobbing. "Tell him," she said, "that Muriel is here—that she has seen him, and is waiting for him to recover." Day succeeded day, and although I was not allowed to visit my friend, I was told that he was very slowly progressing. I idled at the Hotel Cecil, longing daily for news of Elma. Only once did a letter come from her, a brief, well-written note, from which it appeared that she was quite well and happy, although she longed to be able to go out. The princess was very kind indeed to her, and, she added, was making secret arrangements for her escape across the Russian frontier into Germany. I saw Muriel many times, but never once did she refer to Rannoch or their sudden departure. Her only thought was of the man she loved. One afternoon, ten days after the attempt upon Jack, I was allowed to sit by his bedside and question him. "Ah, Gordon, old fellow!" he said faintly, "I've had a narrow escape—by "Ah, Gordon, Old Fellow, We Had a Narrow Escape/' Jove! After I left you I walked quickly on towards the club, when, all of a sudden, two scoundrels sprang out of Suffolk street, and one of them fired a revolver full at me. Then I knew no more." "But who were the men? Did you recognize them?" "No, not at all. That's the worst of It" "But Muriel knows who they were!" I said. "Ah, yea! Bring her here, won't you?" the poor fellow implored, "I'm dying to see her once again." Then I told him how she had looked upon him while unconscious, and how I had taken the daily bulletin to her. For an hour I talked with him, urging him to get well soon, so that we could unite in probing the mystery, and bringing to justice those responsible for the dastardly act. "Muriel knows,- and if she loves you she will no doubt assist us," I said. "Oh, she does love me, Gordon, I know that" said the prostrate man, smiling contentedly, and when I left I promised to bring her there on the morrow. This I did, but having conducted her to the bed at the end of the ward I discreetly withdrew. Whafc she said to him I am not of coarse, aware. All 1 know is that an hour later when I returned I found them the happiest pair possible to conceive, and I clearly saw that Jack's trust in her was not IBpmoed. Bat of Elma? No further word had come from her, and I began to grow uneasy. The days went on. I wrote twteev bat no reply was. forthoomJag. At mat I could bear the saspenoe ao longer, aad began to oentempSate retnrf* g to Baasta, December came, and we stfll remained on at the hotel Ones Ollnto his but I did not heed it. 1 somehow distrusted the fellow. Jack, now thoroughly recovered, called almost dally at Bassett road, and would often bring Muriel to the Cecil to tea or to luncheon. Often I inquired the whereabouts of her father and of Hylton Chater, but she declared herself -in entire ignorance, and believed they were abroad. One afternoon, shortly before Christmas, as we were idling in the American bar of the hotel, my friend told me that Muriel bad invited us to tea at her cousin's that afternoon, and accordingly we went there in company. As we sat together Muriel, a smart figure in pale blue gown, poured tea for us and chatted more merrily, I thought, than ever before. She seemed quick and nervous and yet full of happiness, as she should Indeed have been, for Jack Durnford was one of the best fellows in the world, and his restoration to health little short of miraculous. "Gordon," he said to me with a sudden seriousness when tea had ended and we had placed down our cups. "I want to tell you something—something I've been longing always to tell you, and now I have got dear Muriel's consent I want to tell you about her father and his friends." "And about Elma, too?" I said in quick eagerness. "Yes, tell me everything." "No, not everything, for I don't know it myself. But what I know I will explain as briefly as I can, and leave you to form your own conclusions. It is," he went one, "a strange —most amazing story. When I myself became first cognizant of the mystery I was on board the flagship the Renown, under Admiral Sir John Fisher. We were lying in Malta when there arrived the English yacht Iris, owned by Mr. Philip Leithcourt, and among those on board cruising for pleasure were. Mr. Martin Woodroffe, Mr. Hylton Chater, and the owner's wife and daughter Muriel. "Muriel and I met first at a tennis party, and afterwards frequently at various houses in Malta, for anyone who goes there and entertains Is soon entertained in return. A mutual at* tachment sprang up between Muriel and myself," he said, placing his hand tenderly upon her and smiling, "and we often met in secret and took long walks, until quite suddenly Leithcourt said that It was necessary to sail for Smyrna to pick up some friends who had been traveling in Palestine. The night they sailed a great consternation was caused on the island by the news that the safe in the admiral superintendent's office had been opened by expert safe-breakers, and certain most important secret documents stolen." *"; "Well?" I asked, much interested. "Again, two months later, when the villa of the prince of Montevachl, at Palmero, was broken into and the whole of the famous jewels of the princess stolen, it was a very strange fact that the Iris was at the moment In that port. But It was not until the third occasion, when the yacht was at Viilefranche, and our squadron being at Toulon I got four days' leave to go along the Riviera, that my suspicions were aroused, for at the very hour when I was dining at the London house at Nice with Muriel and a schoolfellow of hers, Elma Heath — who was spending the winter there with a lady who was Baron Oberg'd cousin—that a great robbery was committed in one of the big hotels up at Cimlez, the wife of an American millionaire losing jewels valued at thirty thousand pounds. Then the robberies, coincident with the visit of the yacht, aroused my strong suspicion. I remarked the nature of those documents stolen from Malta, and recognized that they could only be of service to a foreign government. Then came the Leghorn incident of which you told me. The yacht's name had been changed to the Lola, and she had been repainted. I made searching Inquiry, and found that on the evening she was purposely run aground *in order to strike up a friendship at the consulate, a Russian gunboat was lying in the vicinity. The consul's safe was rifled, and the scheme certainly was to transfer anything obtained from it to the Russian gunboat." , "But what was in the safe?" I asked. "Fortunately nothing. But you see they knew that our squadron was due in Leghorn, and that some extremely important, dispatches were on the way. to the admiral—secret orders based upon the decision of the British cabinet as to the vexed question of Russian ships passing the Dardanelles-* they expected that they would be lodged » the safe until the arrival of the squadron, as they always are. They were, however, bitterly disappointed becaase the dispatches had aot arrived." "And t h e n r (TO BE COirttMUKD.) ] Must Be Owahle. Loaders Say, Tve been those t O.

Keep watch of your asters, for "in such an hour as you know not" the maggot may attack them. It Is better, however, to act on the belief that this enemy is sure to come, and take measures to head him off. Work wood ashes into the soil about the plants, and remove a little soil Immediately about the base of each plant and scatter tobacco dust there liberally. This will not injure the plant, but it may discourage the pest in its effort to get at the stalk of it. Of late, many collections of asters have been ruined by this grub. The plant will look perfectly healthy today; tomorrow it will have a withered appearance and the next day It will be yellow, and if you take hold of Its top and give a slight pull, off it will come close to the ground. Examination will show that it has been eaten into at that point. Wood ashes are the best preventive of Its attacks of anything I have used, and I FLOWER LIST FOR AMATEUR By L. R. O ' B R I E N . Among the most desirable plants for the amateur I would place the iweet pea first. This flower has great value both for garden decoration and also for would change the location of th£ bed yearly. Another aster trouble to guard against the black beetle. This pest comes suddenly, does Its ruinous work rapidly, and often injures your plants beyond the prospect of recovery before you are aware of its arrival. Here is where the necessity of keeping watch of them comes in. When U13 first beetle Is discovered, prepare an emulsion after the following formula: Cue-half pound of any good, white soap, reduced to a liquid by melting. One teacupful of kerosene. Let the soap, to which a little water may be added while it is melting, come to a boil, then add the kerosene; remove from the stove and stir vigorously while the mixture is cooling. A sort of jelly will result Use a part of this to ten parts of water Stir well to make sure that the emulsion unites with the water and apply as a spray.

Thanks to the skill of the hybridist, we now have races of lovely, fragrant, ever-blooming carnations, dwarf and bushy in growth, that show buds and flowers in four or five months after the seeds are sown. The flowers, too, are not only borne in abundance, but are of all the leading shades of color, from white : through shades of pink to dark crim-l son, and from cream to bright yellow, j as well as striped and blotched. These new carnations are as easily grown as Japan pinks. The seed* may be sown in a box in the window during March or April, and the plants aet out where they are to bloom when the weather becomes warm and settled. Give them a sunny bed, and If yon wish a fine show of flowers from each plant, pinch off the first stem that pushes up to bloom.

The prevalent Idea appears to be that there can be ao love without a pretty large admixture of jealousy, and that, conversely, almost every case of jealousy springs from some misguided love affair. Whether this idea is the right one or not is decidedly open to .question. Ideal love affairs preclude jealousy altogether, and where absolute trust and confidence exist there is no room at all for the green-eyed monster. One curiouB attribute of the Jealous woman who plans to sweep ber rivals out of the way is that she generally shows a marked lack of brains in her methods. Jealousy not only blunts all her finer feelings, but at the same time It causes a curious confusion of mind, which fails to take the proper grasp of consequences" and which Is utterly illogical and childishly reckless in its workings. One has only to glance at the daily papers to see this fact practically illustrated. The schemes of the jealous woman are the most childishly immature in the world, and in almost every case fall to pieces and bring speedy retribution on her own bead. For not Uone does the victim suffer. The worst generally comes upon the plotter herself. Love very often does bring a certain amount of jealousy in its train. But at the same time it is entirely up to ourselves to curb those feelings and to keep them from outward and visible expression. Moreover, it is perfectly true that, although love generally does admit of jealousy, the latter can exist and flourish ^pretty successfully without love. Therefore in the last analysis we may most assuredly claim that jealousy and love are two distinct and quite separable affairs.—Savannah News. Half Educated. "It wouldn't be a bad idea," said the boy's father, "If you did a little work during your summer vacation. You surely don't need three whole months to rest up after the little work you did at college. When I was your age I earned enough during the summer to pay my college expenses." "Yes," replied the boy, "and look at the result.

SKY MARAUDER IN AIRSHAFT; W h ^ » real estate owner starta down hill be loseb ground rapidly. Birds Cling Fearfully to Fire Escape While Sparrow Hawk Hovers Near. Any of ua could draw the salary of a ten-thousand-dollar-a-year job. A servant maid in an apartment on the rourth floor of the Victoria, at Riverside driva and Ninety-seventh street, opened the kitchen window Monday morning and wondered why dozens of sparrowa that were huddling on fire escape and window sill did not take frigbtvand scurry away. Then she glanced outward and upward into the alrshaft and discovered the reason. A sparrow hawk, sun glinting on its wings, was wheeling rapidly high up in the airshaft, but below the roof level. Occasionally, when the marau der's keen eye glimpsed a sparrow which hadn't taken refuge it darted like a flash. Twice while the maid watched the hawk made a capture and soared out of the airshaft. The air pirate worked for about two hours and disappeared shortly before noon, but it was at least half an hour later when the plump, brow a sparrows recovered from the terror caused by the hawk's appearance.

This is a short story of how two Vermont boys, still in their teens, have made some real money on a thor oughbred Guernsey. They paid $200 for the animal when she was two years old, and a s their father was a banker and they were away to school a farmer was Induced to keep the animal for them. They owned the cow a little over two years and during that time she had two calves. The boys found a ready market for the calves and have Just sold the cow, the three animals having been sold for $525. Tbe farmer charged them $125 for keeping of the stock and other expenses and the boys will net $100 apiece from the transaction. The boys are quite satisfied with their investment and Incidentally have become somewhat interested in life upon a- Vermont farm.—Springfield (Vt.) Reporter.

Washington—While president WUson and the state department were in a state of keen anxiety following the receipt of news of the sinking of the White Star Liner Arabic and the loss of two American lives, they let It be known that the government would not be drawn into any hasty action and that judgment would be reserved until all facts were known. •hip 8unk By Submarine. London—At least fourteen persons, two of whom were Americans, lost their lives when the White Star liner Arabic was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine off Fastnet Thursday morning. The two Americans who went down with the ship were Mrs. Josephine L. Brugulere, of Ran Francisco, and Dr. Bdmond T. Woods, of Wisconsin. Mrs. Brugulere was thrown into the water and was kept afloat for some time by her son, Louis, who was forced to relinquish his hold when he was struck by a piece of wreckage. Nothing was seen of Dr. Wood after the streamer was struck. Most of the missing members of the crew belonged to the engineer* staff. They remained at their posts and went down with the ship. Captain Finch and the other officers of the Arabic assert that the submarine gave them no warning. They declare the "torpedo was fired as they were going to the rescue of the steamer Dunsley, which had just been torpedoed, presumably by the same submarine. Prepared for Attack. That the loss of life was not heavier was due to the preparation made by the officers in view of the_ possibility of an attack while passing through the war tone, to the fine weather which prevailed and to the splendid discipline maintained by the crew. Life belts had been placed o;i the decks and the life-boats swung out. As soon as the ship was struck rafts were flung over the side. Many of the passengers and crew who were thrown Into the water climbed on board these rafts or were dragged onto them by persona already on them. The Americans who reached Queenstown were cared for by the United States consul. With the other passengers they left Ireland for England Friday night. They lost all their baggage and many of them wore borrowed clothing until the consul had provided for them. The Arabic carried 2,813 bags of mail, mostly for the United States. The mail Included several hundred hags from Sweden, Norway, Holland, Swttserland, Spain and other conn- STATE INSURANCE PAYS DIVIDENDS FIFTEEN PER CENT EARNEO FOR EMPLOYERS -BY NEW YORK FUND. PUN IS A GREAT SUCCESS 8urpJus to Policy Holders for First Year It $370,829 After All Losses Are Paid and Setting Up Reserve. MRS. W. K. VANDERBILT. Paris—The foreign office, upon recommendation of the ministry of war, has awarded a gold medal to Mrs. W. K. Vanderbtlt, of New York, president of the American committee for clothing the wounded. In conferring the medal the foreign office expresses appreciation of the services of Mrs. Vanderbilt, "whose active sympathies have so often come to the aid of oui wounded." New York—The directors of the state Insurance fund, organised to insure employers under the employers' liability law, announce that dividends averaging about 15 per cent have been declared to policy holders on the second six months' term ending June 30. The average dividend on the first six months was nearly 20 per cent, but the reduction ot 12 per cent which went into effect on January 1. The net cost of insurance to policyholders was 7 per cent less for the second term than for the first. Dividends, were declared in all the 42 groups of employment enumerated in the act, the highest dividend being 20 per cent paid in the light manufacturing groups. In the heavier manufacturing, building construction, mining, quarrying and lumbering industries 13 per cent is paid and the lowest rate 6 per cent, is paid in the transportation, (public utilities and miscellaneous trades. The fund earned a surplus to policy holders of $370,829 on the first year's business after paying all losses and setting up a loss reserve of $621,- 883 and a catastrophe surplus of $109,- 111. The expense for the 12 months amounted to $207,100 or 17 per cent of the earned premiums. The loes ratio for the first year was 64.7 per cent.

The Turkish ambassador to Rome, Naby Bey, has been handed his passports and departed immediately for Swltserland. Marchess Qarroni, the Italian ambassador to Constantinople, has been instructed to notify the Turkish government of Italy's intention and immediately to demand his right of safe conduct from the country. The declaration came at the end of a short cabinet session. The Italian government had demanded that reservists of the Italian army be permitted to leave Turkey without restriction. In announcing the declaration ol war the government cited two primary causes: The Turkish support of the revolt in Libya, and the prevention by Turkey of the departure of Italian residents in Syria. Announcement of the new declaration of war was received with wild enthusiasm by the crowds that had gathered outside the government offices. During the session the populace, being well aware that an important decision would in all likelihood be reached, awaited the news amid scenes of great excitement Bank Report at New York Gives Figures for Month of August. New York—The current statement Issued by the foreign trade department of the National City bank shows that the exports from the port of New York for the week ending August 14 were $31,800,000 against $10,725,000 for the corresponding week of last year, or nearly three times as great For the full month of June, the same compilation shows, the export trade from all ports of the United States was 70 per cent greater than in June of last year, manufacturers exported in June amounting to $150,000,000 against $90,000,000 in June of last year and foodstuffs to $72,000,000 as against $31,000,000 in June, 1914, the percentage in gain in "foodstuffs being greater than in manufacturers.

In Kashmir, India, it waa once my good fortune to visit a Hindu Dussrah, or native fair. The cantonment of my host was some distance away from the grounds, so we mounted two of his horses and rode through the village out on the road to the fair grounds, where we rode much of the way in the wake of an interminable procession on its way to the Dussrah. Above the heads of the multitude three towering figures caught my eyes They were fashioned after the form of man, but crudely and grotesquely, and they were 100 feet tall. I turned to my companion and asked him what they were. He told me that these monstrous effigies were reared to commemorate an ancient mythological war which, according to Hindu belief, took place in Ceylon In the long ago. Whether the story is true or not the figures were undoubtedly real, and became more monstrously real the closer we approached them. Later, when we strolled at their feet I saw how they were made. Bamboo poles, bound together after the Indian fashion of piecing out scaffolding, formed the framework, and they were anchored to the ground by ropes hidden under the costumes that were made of coarse cloth. The heads of the figures, grotesque and unreal in their workmanship, were surmounted by fancy crowns of gold and colored paper. The fair, indeed, waa devoted entirely to the praise of these mythological warriors and the heroic deeds they are supposed to have done In the ancient Ceylon wars. Prixe Definition of Money.

From Elma Heath's conversation at dinner that evening at Nice I gathered that she and her uncle had been guests on the Iris on several occasions, although t must Bay that Muriel was extremely reticent regarding all that concerned thV yacht" "Of course/' she said quickly. "Now that I have told you the truth, Jack, flon't you think it was only natural?" '•'"Most certainly, dear," he answered, still holding her hand. "Tours was not a secret that you could very well tell to me until you could thoroughly trust, me, especially as your father had been implicated In the theft of those documents from Malta. The truth Is," he said, turning to me, "Philip Leithceurt has all along been the catspaw of Baron Oberg. A few years ago he was a well-known money lender In the city, and in that capacity met the baron, who, being in disgrace, required a loan. He was also in the habit of having certain shady transactions with that daring gang of continental thieves of whom Dick Archer and Hylton Chater were leaders. For this reason he purchased a yacht for their use, so that they might not only use it for the purpose of storing the stolen goods, but for the purpose of sailing from place to place under the guise of wealthy Englishmen traveling for pleasure. Upon that vessel. Indeed, was stored thousands and thousands of pounds' worth of Jewels and objects of value, the proceeds of many great robberies in England, France and Belgium. Sometimes they traveled for the purpose of disposing of the jewels in various inland towns where the gems, having been recut, ^were not recognized, while at other "times, Chater and Archer, assisted by Mackintosh, the captain, and Olinto Santlnl, the steward, sailed for a port, landed, committed a robbery, and then sailed away again, quite unsuspected, as rich Englishmen." "And the crew?" I asked, after a pause. JThey were, of course, well paid, and were kept in ignorance of what the supposed owner and his friends did ashore." "But Oberg's connection with it?" I asked, surprised at those revelations. "Ah!" exclaimed Muriel. "The ingenuity of that crafty villain is fiendish. Before he got into the czar's favor he owed my father a large sum, and then sought how to evade repayment By means of his spies he discovered the real purpose of the cruises of the Iris—for I was often taken on board with a maid in order to allay any. suspicion that might arise if only men were cruising. Then he not only compelled my father to cancel the debt, but he impressed the •easel and those who owned and nasigated it into the secret service of Russia. A dosen times did we make attempts to obtain secret papers tram Italian, French and Bnntieh dockyards, hot only once in the case'of Malta and once at Toulon did we sac* coed. Ah! Mr. Greg*/* she added. J*yo* do not know all the anxiety I suffered, how at every hour we were in danger of betrayal or capture, and of the hundred narrow had of the yacht tor contraband. Yon wifl no doubt reoollset the senby the theft of Jewels of the wa8 melted in a crucible and put ashore to be sent to agents in Hamburg." "But that night in Leghorn?" I said. 'What happened to poor Elma?" "I do not*know," was Muriel's reply. "We were both on board together, and standing at the crack of the door watched you sitting at dinner that evening. The instant, however, you went ashore, Chater, Woodroffe— whom you called Hornby—and Mackintosh, the captain—who, by the way, was an old tlcket-of-leave man—went ashore, and, of course, broke into the consulate. Then, as soon as they returned, Elma came to my cabin, awoke me, and said that the baron was taking her ashore, and that they were to travel overland back to London. She was ready dressed to go. I kissed her, and promising to meet her soon, we parted. That was the last I saw of her. What happened to her afterwards only she alone can tell us." "But she is not the baron's niece?" I said. "No. There is some mystery," declared Muriel. "She holds some secret which he fears she may divulge. But of what nature, I am In Ignorance." "You say that your father has never taken any active part in the robberies? Where is he now?** I asked. "Ah!" she exclaimed sadly, her face pale and haggard. "I have heard that the vessel was scuttled somewhere in the Baltic" 'That is true. Oberg's purpose having been served, he demanded half the property on board or he would give notice to the Russian naval authorities that the pirate yacht was afloat. He attempted to blackmail my father, as he had already done so many times, but his scheme was frustrated. My father, because of his inhuman treatment of poor Elma, defied him, when it appears that Oberg, who was in Helsingfors, telegraphed to'the admiral of the Russian fleet in the Baltic. The crew from the fris were at once landed at Riga, and only Mackintosh and my father put to sea again. Ah! my father was desperate, for he knew the merciless character of that man whose victim he had been for BO long. They watched a Russian cruiser bearing down upon them, when, just as it drew near, they got off in a boat and blew up the yacht, which sank in three minutes with its ill-obtained wealth on board." "And your father?" She was silent, and I saw tears standing in her eyes. "There was a tragedy,? Jack explained in a low, hoarse voice. "He and the captain did not unfortunately, get sufficiently far from the yacht when they blew her up, and they went down with her.** And I looked in silence at Muriel, who stood with her head bent and her white face covered with her hands. Almost at the same moment there was a low tap at the door, and the servant maid announced: "Mr. Santlnl, miss." "Ah!" exclaimed Jack quickly, as Olinto entered the room. T h e n yon had my note! We have ashed yon here to reveal to us this dastardly plot which seemed to have been termed against Mr. Gregg and myself. As yon know, I**e had a narrow es- "I know, signore.

Armlda, having received the letter unknown to me, went up to Scotland, and waB alao there at the appointed time. What actually transpired can only be surmised, yet It seems that Leithcourt was in the habit of going up to that spot and loitering there in the evening in order to meet Chater In secret, as the latter was In hiding in a small hotel in Dumfries. Therefore those who formed the plot must have endeavored to throw suspicion upon Leithcourt It is plain, however, as both myself and Annida knew the gang, it was to their interest to get rid of us, because the suspicions of the police had at last become aroused. Poor Armida was therefore deliberately enticed there to her death, while the inquisitive man whom the assassin took to be myself was alao struck down." "By whom?" "Not by Chater, for he was in London on that night- T h e n by Woodroffe V Durnford said. ^Without a doubt It was all most cleverly thought out. It was to his advantage alone to close our Ups, because in that same fatal chair in Lambeth old Jacob Moser, the Jew bullion broker of Hatton Garden, met his death—a most dastardly crime, with which none of his friends were associated, and of which we alone held knowledge. He therefore wrote to us as though from Leithcourt, calling us up to Rannoch, in order to strike the blows In the darkness," he added In his peculiar Italian manner. "Besides, he feared we would tell the signore the truth." "You have not told the policeT" "I dare not signore. Surely the less the police know about this matter the better, otherwise the Slgnorina Leithcourt must suffer for her father's avarice and evil-doing." "Yes," cried Jack anxiously. "That's right, Olinto. The police must know nothing. The reprisals we must make ourselves. But who was it who shot me in Suffolk street?" T h e same man, Martin Woodroffe." "Then the assassin is back from Russia?" VHe followed closely behind the Signor Commendatore. Markoff, a clever secret agent of Baron Oberg's, came with him." Then for the first time I recollected that the man I had recognized In the Strand was a fellow I had seen lounging In the anteroom of the palace of the governor-general of Finland. •The pair, fearing that I should reveal what I knew, were undoubtedly in London to take my life in secret. Now that Leithcourt was dead, Woodroffe had united forces with Oberg, and intended to silence me because they feared that Elma, besides escaping them, had also revealed her secret "I trust that the Slgnorina Leithcourt has explained the story of.the yacht and its crew," Olinto remarked. "And has also shown you how I was implicated. You will therefore discern the reason why I have hitherto feared to give you any explanation." "Yes," I said, "Miss Leithcourt has told me a great deal, but not everything. I cannot yet gather for what reason she and her father fled from Rannoch." "Then I will tell you," said Muriel quickly. "My father suspected Woodroffe of being the assassin in Rannoch wood, for he knew that he had broken away from the original compact and had now allied himself with Oberg. Yet it was also my father's object to appear in fear of them, because he was only awaiting an opportunity to lay plans for poor Kbna's rescue from Finland. Therefore one evening Woodroffe called, and my father encountered him in the avenue, and admitted him with his own latchkey by one of the side doors of the castle, afterwards taking him np to the study. He knew that he had come to try and make terms for Oberg, therefore he saw that he must fly at once to Newcastle, where the Iris lying, get on board, and sail Princess Zurloff brought her to London this afternoon, and I have Just conveyed her from the station. She Is In the next room, in ignorance, however, that you are here." And without another word I fled forward Joyfully, and threw open the folding doors which separated me from my silent love. Silent, yes! But she could, nevertheless, tell her story—surely the strangest that any woman has ever lived to tell. CHAPTER XVII. Contains Elma's Story. Before me stood my love, a slim, tragic, rather wan figure in a heavy dark traveling coat and felt toque, her sweet lips parted and a look of bewildered amazement upon her countenance as I burst in so suddenly upon her. In silence I grasped her tiny blackgloved hand, and then, also in silence, raised it passionately to my eager lips. Her soft, dark eyes—those eyes that spoke although she was mute— met mine, and in them waB a look that I had never seen there before—a look which as plainly as any words told me that my wild fevered passion was reciprocated. She gazed beyond into the room where the others had assembled, and then looked at me inquiringly, whereupon I led her forward to where they were, and Muriel, fell upon her and kissed her with tears streaming from her eyes. "I prepared this surprise for you, Mr. Gregg," Muriel said, laughing through her tears of joy. "Olinto learned that she was on Ler way to London, and I sent him to meet her. The princess has managed magnificently, has she not?" "Yes. Thank God she is free!" I exclaimed. "But we must induce her to tell us everything." Muriel was already helping my love out of her heavy Russian coat a costly garment lined with sable, and when, after greeting Jack and Olinto, she was comfortably seated, I took some notepaper from the little writing table by the window and scribbled in pencil the words: "I need not write how delighted I am that you are safe—that the Almighty has heard my prayers for you. Jack and Muriel have told me all "With some excuse he loft him In the atndy, and then warned my mother and myself to prepare to leave. Bat whfie we were packing.

I know, too, dear—tor I may call you t h a t may I not?—how terribly you must have suffered in silence through it all Leithcourt is dead. He sank the yacht with all the stolen property oh board,'but by accident was himself engulfed." Bonding and watching- intently as I wrote, she drew back in horror and surprise at the words. Then I added: "We are all four determined that the guilty shall not go unpunished, and that the aJUetion placed upon yon shall he adequately avenged. Ton are hold —^1111¾% to oa&youso. Some strong but mysteriof aflnKy to seek yon out and your to call mo to I was unaware of peril Iwne sent to you by the unto extricate yon from the of was loath to reveal to us the absolute truth. Muriel, standing behind her chair, tenderly stroked back the wealth of chestnut hair from her white brow. Her complexion was perfect, even though her face was pale and jaded, and her eyes heavy, consequent upon her long, weary journey from the now frozen North. Presently, *vhen by signs both Jack and Olinto had urged her to write, she bent suddenly, and her pencil began to run swiftly over *he paper. All of us stood exchanging glances in silence, neither looking over her, but each determined to wait in patience until the end. Once started, however, she did not pause. Sheet c.fter sheet she covered. The silence for a long time was complete, broken only by the rapid running of the pencil over the rough surface of the paper. She had apparently become seized by a tudden determination to explain everything, now that she saw we were in real, dead earnest. I watched her aweet face bent so intently, and as the firelight fell across it found it incomparable. Yes; she was afflicted by loss of speech, It was true, yet she was surely inexpressibly sweet and womanly, peerless above all others. With a deep-drawn sigh she at last finished, and, her head still bowed In an attitude of humiliation, it seemed, she handed what she had written to me. In breathless eagerness I read as follows: "Is It true, dear love —for I call you so in return—that you were impelled towards me by the mysterious hand that directs all things? You came in search of me. and you risked your life for mine at Kajana, therefm- e you have a right to know the truth. You, as my champion, and the princess as my friend, have contrived to effect my freedom. Were it not for you, I should ere this have been on my way to Saghalien, to the tomb to which Oberg had so ingeniously contrived to consign me. Ah! you do not know—you never can know—all that I have suffered ever since I was a girl." Here the statement broke off, and recommenced as follows: "In order that you should understand the truth, I had better begin at the beginning. My father was an English merchant in Petersburg, and my mother, Vera Bessanoff, who, before her marriage with my father, was celebrated at court for her beauty, and was one of the maids of honor to the ctarina. She was the only daughter of Count Paul Bessanoff, ex-governor of Kharkoff, and before marrying my father she had, with her mother, been a well-known figure in society. Immediately after her mar riage her father died, leaving her la possession of an ample fortune, which with my father's own wealth, placed them among the richest and most influential in Petersburg. "Among my father's most intimate friends was Baron Xavier Oberg— who, at that time, held a very subordinate position in the ministry of the interior—and from my earliest recollections I can remember him coming frequently to our house and being invited to the brilliant enter: tainments which my mother gave. When I was thirteen, however, my father died of a chill contracted while boar-hunting, on his estate in Kiev, and within a few months a further disaster happened to us. One night, while I was sitting alone reading aloud to my mother, two strangers were announced, and on being shown in they arrested my dear mother on a charge of complicity in a revolutionary plot against the czar which had been discovered at Peterhof. I stood defiant and indignant for my mother was certaintly no nihilist yet they said that the bomb had been-introduced into the palace by the Countess Anna Shiproff, one of the mdies-inwaiting, who was an intimate friend of my mother's and often used to visit her. They alleged that the conspiracy had been hatched In our house, color being lent to that theory by the fact that a year before a weUknown Russian with whom my father had had many business dealings had been proved to be the author of the plot by which the car's train was blown np near Uvadia.

There were over sixty names enrolled in the high school alone, a large majority being foreign students. The Senior class numbers fifteen. Heretofore only one teacher hasbjfen employed in the high school, besides the Superintendent. It was seen that it would be impossible to do justice to the classes with the great increase in the number of students, -co it was decided at a meeting of the school board Monday evening to employ an extra teacher. This position was given to Mrs. J. P. Doyle who hat had several years of experience in various schools throughout Michigan. A school helps much in building np a town and we can indeed be prond of the Pinckney school. For a school of its size, it has been made one of the best in the state* daring the superintendency of its present professor, J. P. Doyle.

AUSTRIAN AMBASSADOR IS TO BE WARNED WOULD REWRITE HISTORY Scheme Is to Educate Workmen to Oppose War—He Calls "Military Cliques" Sloths and Lunatics. ' Detroit—Henry Ford announced Saturday the opening moves in the campaign against militaristic activities looking toward an Increase in the army and navy of the United States, and for universal peace. He says: "Bncouraged by hundreds of letters and many favorable comments by newspapers and men of the country, It seems fitting that there should be given now the beginnings at least of the work for a better feeling among men, peace and the discouragement of vast military preparation that can only invite conflict." "Long ago the men in the Ford organisation ware receiving an education that convinced them of the fact that a vast army and navy for the United States was unnecessary and was wanted only by men, who, posing a* patriots, sought their own glorifloetion and profit. The present object lesson of the terrible uselessness of Car sad of the hilling of men who had ueh to live for and nothing to die tor, has done the rest. These men are now man of peace. "When the Michigan national guard want into summer encampment recently only about 10 men from the 10,0*0 in this organisation went with them. It was then suggested that I dismiss these men as an example in furtherance of peace ideas. At that time I said, and I repeat it now: No intimation can convince a man. These men are free, and if we are to change a free man's ideas it must be by education. The other thousands of men la the plant can do their part in this education and I will let them do it' "It the about for armament piled upon the nation is to be silenced there must be men of peace to meet the shooters for war. Therefore, a fond of $1,000,000 will be set aside to start an educational campaign, looking toward the teaching of the benefits of peace and the waste of war. This will be carried on In the United States and all countries now at peace. When the Europeans "have returned to sanity the work will be carried to those nations. "This campaign will go into the homes 1st the cities, the hamlets, the farms, the factories and shops throughout the country, and the military poets before all others will be given a chance to hear reasonable, calm and impersonal discussion of the problem of peace as compared with the theory of war and the stocking up for war. "A start must be made toward ^%r>g4ng the rudimentary histories that children and men read. They mutt be made to see that WAS HESPERIAN SUNK BY TORPEDO?

ASSASSINS KILL JUDGE Was On Wsy to Providence When Shot Down; Slayer Escapee. Providence, R. I.—Justice Willis S. Knowles, of the eighth judicial district, was assassinated just after he had left his bungalow in North Scituate to take a trolley car from Providence Monday. He received three bullet wounds, two in the back and one in the Jaw. The attack occurred about 100 yards from the house and apparently the shots came from bushes that lined the village road leading to the car line. After having been wounded at least once, the justice turned back and nearly regained the gate opening into hie place, when he fell dead. The murder was witnessed by no one except the assassins, who escaped. The body was found by Knowles's housekeeper, Mrs. WarddeU, who had run from the house when she heard the shots fired. Ae she reached the lawn, she says she heard a man's voice, with a foreign accent, cry: "Now, judge, I've got you." She saw no one, but thought the voice' came from the shrubbery. London—The Allan liner Hesperian, torpedoed by a German submarine off the Irish ^ coast Saturday evening, sank Monday morning while being towed to Queenstown. The ship remained afloat 34 hours. Captain Main and 20 members of the crew, who stayed aboard, are said to have been taken off before the ship took her final plunge near the graces of the Lusitanla and Arabic. Reports conflict over the loss of life. The line's agents at Queenstown report 338 of 360 pas* sengers accounted for, but does not care to estimate if any are missing. London declares two women died of shock, while the U. S. consul at Queenstown say* eight went down with the ship. There were practically 650 people on the liner when she was attacked— 350 passengers and a crew of 300. The passengers, who were hurried without panic into boats after the liner was struck as dusk came on, declare no warning was given. Washington expects Berlin will explain the sinking, In view of the- German government's promise not to sink any more "liners" without warning. The U. S. consul at Queenstown declares the Hesperian carried a gun mounted aft, plainly visible. There were no American passengers on the Hesperian, but two members of the crew are understood to be American citizens. One is said to belong to Grand Rapids, Mich A statement by the captain made Monday afternoon claims that his ship was torpedoed without warning and a report that the number of dead would reach 26, half of whom were passengers. Beyond the belief that the German government muat make some statement with regard to the sinking of the Hesperian, no conclusions have been reached in Washington ae to the effect the incident will have on the relations between the United States and Germany and the submarine issue generally.

On Special Service. , It was already growing dusk when jthe Staunton Battery of Horse artillery returned weagjy to camp after bouri of hard fierodrill, the men ever 'conscious that no evolution, however trivial, was being overlooked by Stonewall" Jackson, sitting astride bis Borrel on a little eminence to the left, his stern face unrelieved by even the semblance of a smile. The winter quarters of the Staunton artillery were slightly off the main road and I remained, for some time overseeing the care of the horses before approaching the but where the noncommissioned officers had mess. ;We were all of us still at the table, discussing the incidents of the drill, when a lieutenant appeared suddenly in the doorway. "Sergeant Wyatt?" he inquired briefly, I arose to my feet "Here, sir," I answered In some surprise. "You are requested to report to Genera] Jackson at once; bis beadquarters for tonight are at Coulter's farm, on the dirt pike. You win ride your own horse." Five minutes later 1 was guiding my own horse down the dark road, bending low in the saddle, obsessed with a feeling -that this mission, whatever it might turn out to be, promised a change in my fortunes. it was an ugly path, rutted deep by artillery wheels, and dangerous for the horse. I was an hour reaching the Coulter house, a double log cabin, some fifty feet or more back from the road. It was with some difficulty that I made my way through the obstructing guard to the steps, where an officer took my name at the closed door, disappeared in a sudden blaze of light and I stood there silently in the shadows waiting. Ten minutes must have elapsed before the door opened again and I beard my named called. It was a rough appearing, commonplace Interior. A sturdy fire burned in the fireplace, and three lamps illumined the scene, revealing the presence of five men, among whom I Instantly recognised Swell, Aahby, together with Jackson, and his chief of staff. The fifth occupant of the room sat alone In one corner, his face partially concealed, revealing little other than a fringe of gray whiskers, Jackson, seated behind a table Uttered with papers and maps, glanced up at the announcement of the orderly, and I came instantly to attention, my band lifted In salute. The general's stern bine eyes surveyed me Intently. "Sergeant Wyatt, Staunton artOleryr "Yea, sir." "How long, may I ask, have yon been la the servicer "Since Kay. 'SI, air." "Ah! indeed. And your a g e f "Twenty-four, air.* He made some remark aside to the side, who nodded back, and pointed to a map before $bem.

"in a measure—yes," I replied promptly. "It was hardly safe for her to remain there alone. The county is Ailed with Union sympathisers, and roamed over by bands of guerrillas, claiming allegiance with both sides, but sparing no one. At present, I understand, Federal troops have been sent there from Charleston and are in control." "Your Information Is partially correct; but in order to perfect plans now contemplated I require a still more definite knowledge of existing conditions. I need to know accurately the number and distribution of the Union forces in Green Briar, and also more complete information regarding those irregulars who are in sympathy with us, as well as the character of their leaders. Judging from the recommendation given you by Colonel Maitland I felt that you were peculiarly adapted to render this service. However, Sergeant Wyatt, I propose stating plainly that this may prove an exceedingly dangerous detail, and if you decide- to accept it, it must be done as a volunteer." He paused questioningly, and I drew a quick breath, realizing suddenly the seriousness of the situation and the importance of my decision. "I am perfectly ready to go, sir." Ewell broke in impatiently with his high-pitched voice. "May I ask if it be generally known In Green Briar that you are enlisted in the Confederate service?" "To but very few, sir," I answered, turning to look across at my unexpected questioner. "To none I am at all likely to encounter. My mother and with that "Very weB, indeed. lor what hla grave area mind evidently and In ata long while, "You Are Requested to Genera] Jackson at Once." I left the county at the first outbreak. My father's aUtflattans were with the Union element." "Moat fortunate. Nothing could be better, General Jackson. The sergeant can m y safely travel aa a Federal officer in search of recruits. The matter of papers can, of coarse, be eaafly arranged." Jackaoa turned toward his aide, "What Federal troops are now garrisoning Charleston, Swan?" "Aa Ohm brigade, with a regiment of Pennsylvania cavalry. There la also a company of heavy artillery outside the town." The eesnmaader leaned his head oa his hand. "It was not my original plan to send yea into the Baa* of the la a M a n * matter*. Howe* era!

"Then that will be all, Kline; except of course,.complete Federal cavalry equipment for the horse." The officer saluted and disappeared, the door instantly closing behind him, cutting off the hum of voices without There was a moment of B1- lence. "You had better retain your present dress until after you leave the valley," counseled Jackson, slowly. "Swan will furnish you with a pass, which should be carefully destroyed after passing our pickets at Covington. It will be of no service to you beyond that point My best wishes for your success. Sergeant Wyatt" He stood up, and I felt the firm grasp of his" hand. Then Aahby gripped my shoulder. "Wyatt" he said kindly, "if you ever desire to change, your arm of the service, you are the kind of man I want to ride with me." I smiled in appreciation, but before I could answer, the man who had been sitting silently in the corner arose, and stood erect in the light The gleam of the lamp instantly revealed his face, still shadowed by the wide hat brim, the firm, bearded chin, the gravely smiling eyes. "General Ashby," he said with quiet dignity, "Sergeant Wyatt, I am sure, performs this important duty without thought of reward. It is the South that has need of such men in every branch of her service." He came forward, and extended his hand cordially. "I am General Lee, and am very glad to greet, and wish God speed to the son of Judge Wyatt If you return in safety, you will report to me in person at Richmond. General Jackson will so arrange with your battery commander." They were all upon their feet standing In respectful attention. I murmured something, I scarcely knew what bowing as I backed toward the door. And this was Lee—Robert E. Lee—this man with the kind, thoughtful face, the gentle voice, the gravely considerate manner. And he had greeted me in words of personal friendship, had spoken to me of my father. I know I straightened to soldierly erectness, every pulse thrilling with a new resolve. A moment I stood there, my eyes on the one face I saw before me, and then went out into the darkness. The orderly closed the door. CHAPTER II. An Unwelcome Companion. It was in the chill of a cold, gray morning that I rode into Strasburg, jogging along at the rear of a squadron of Fifth Virginia cavalrymen who chanced to be headed for the same place. These found quarters in the town, bat I proceeded a mile or more south on the valley'pike, until I reached a aingte-roomed cabin, heavy wooden shutters barring the window*, the door closed aad securely fastened The place to all appearances was deserted, and bad been for a long while Although situated scarcely a hundred feet back from the valley turnpike, which waa never without its travelers, aad akrag which armies marched aad eoantermarehed, the surroundings were those of a remote wOderneaa, I dismounted, aad leading my horse, pressed a difficult passage through the bashes. To my surprise the rear door stood slightly ajar, aad my eyes perceived the movement of aa ill-defined shadow withia. "HeOo there!"

"Cowan," I answered promptly, my mind instantly alert, and aware I had made a mistake." "Ho! Ye don't say! One o' ol' Ned Cowan's boys?" "No. 1 am a son of Widow Cowan, over on Coal creek." There was not the faintest glimmer in the cold, blue eyes, no evidence of any recollection in the wrinkled face. His jaws rose and fell on the tobacco which extended his cheek. "I don't reckon I've been over that way ter nigh on fifteen year," he said at last reflectively. "An' somehow 1 don't just recall no Widow Cowan— but I know ol' Ned mighty well.

"Sixty-fifth Virginia — Covington company, Captain Daniels." The older man chewed awhile in silence, evidently impressed with the seeming frankness of the reply.

One of the Important tMngs to know La life, especially if you are a woman, is now to let yourself alone. The aLll Ity to relax, toe art of being Judicious]} lazy, the tact to let herself alone, haa saved many a woman from a nervoun breakdown. We all know tne housewife who nags herself into such a state of conscientiousness that she cannot rest It she lies §bwn she hi continually worrying herself with thoughts of the work that she is neglecting. Much of the blague for fhis state of affairs Ilea at the doors of tne mothers. The mistake Is In their training of their children, especially their daughters. They are taught from earliest Infancy to be kind to others, to beat with .them, to forglTe them, to help them, but from birth to death no one ever tells (hero to be kind, also, to themselves. The woman who nags herself can make herself more miserable than any one else possibly could. She can make her life more of a nightmare than any misfortune could possibly make It If such women could learn to be kinder to themselves there Is no doubt that their own lives would be lengthened, and not only that, but the lives of those with whom they come in close contact would be made far more pleasant— Mary Carolyn Davles In Mother's Magazine. CHEERED BY HIS FOES. NEBRASKA IN THE LONG AGO. - i What la Now a Dry Plain Was Once the Bed of a Great Sea. I South of Platte river, opposite North Bend, Neb., the bluffs are conspicu- | ens and consist of loess and glacial drift overlying the Ben too shale. This shale was formed when Nebraska was at the bottom of a sea. Evidence of the former presence here of sea water IM found In the fossil sheila of oysters and other suimals that live in salt water and the bones of such sea monsters as the mosasaurus. A compnrisou of these ancient conditions with those of the present day indicates the slow, continuous change that Is now and always has been In progress. Where the tourist now travels comfortably over a dry plain these monsters sorted in the water of the sea long ages ago. On the shores of : this ancient sea lived equally strange ; beasts and birds of types that have | long been extinct and over its water i sailed great flying dragons—the ptero I dactyls. j The animals of that day were strlk- ] lngly different from those of the present Tne birds, unlike any now living. had jaws armed with teeth.

At the conclusion of the performance the passage from the box was found to be crowded with people. The women of the party drew back nervously, but the duke said "Come along!" in his brusque way and conducted them on. While they were still In the corridor a man in the crowd was heard to say to his companion: "But why are you applauding so much? He has always beaten us J" This was very true, and the question seemed a natural one, but the answer was charming: "Yes, but he has always beaten us like a gentleman."—Washington Star. NATURE AND THE MICROBE How th« Not* and the Stomach Fight Disease Germs. The thoughtful reader will say, "Surely. ID the battle of man against microbe tiiert must be some natural means of defense by wblcb nieu have conquered iu the pa.st. long before the microscope wus luvemed." He la right. and science ia never better employed Chan Lu studying these natural defenses. For example, we find no mi crobes at all in air just after It passes through the healthy nose. The nose is the original "domestic filter" for all microbes In dust In the air. Its secretions are antiseptic also, and man has no more valuable outwork of defense than a normal nose. A choked nose, through which a person cannot breathe, means that microbes enter the lungs freely by -way of the fllteriess mouth. In the stomach we find free hydrochloric acid, produced some half hour or less after a meaL Its production from the common salt or sodium chloride, of the blood by the living cells that line the stomach is one of the wholly inimitable feats of the body. Dntii recently most of us thought that the by drochloric acid waa formed in the atom ach solely in order to digest food, but now we have evidence to allow that this hydrochloric acid is also a valuable antiseptic, working, for once, Inside the body without hurting It and probably often saving us from the microbes of consumption and typhoid fever. Thus the two great avenues of entry to the body are in a large degree guarded. It may be added that no known microbe can, unaided, penetrate the surface of the unbroken and healthy skin.—Dr. C. W. Saleeby In Youth's Companion. EVOLUTION OF SHORTHAND. Motions of the Earth. The earth has at least eight different motions.

When you bump your nose or chin you bump the flesh and bone and not a nerve. Consequently you feel a sensation of pain Just where the blow was struck. If you strike the point of your elbow It will be just the same. It's only when you strike that little hollow between the big central bone of the elbow and the little inside bone that the tickling, tingling sensation is felt In the little hollow you strike one of the large trunk nerves that spring between the vertebra at the base of the neck and run through the arm to the wrist In the hollow of the elbow the nerve lies over a bone. When you strike that spot you feel a tingling sensation which isn't exactly funny, but because it tickles the bone is caned the "funny bone,"—Milwaukee Journal. Modern Stenography H a d Its Start In the Time of Cloare. To the average person the idea of shorthand writing is generally considered as being modern, because of the rapidity with which it has been introduced into business life in this country. This is not the case, however, for history traces the use of a similar art with deflniteness back to the time of Cicero, about 70 B. C The invention is sometimes credited to Cicero and sometimes to his secretary, Tulllus Tiro. Nothing seems to be known of any other system of shorthand during the Greek or Roman ascendency nor for fifteen centuries afterward. The first of the noted systems at the beginning of the present era of shorthand was that of Timothy Bright, whose treatise was dedicated to QueeaJPIieabeth. In 1600 Peter Bales brought out a system similar In some respects to Bright*s, but which waa difficult to memorise. The next system to indicate progress appeared twelve years later, by John Willis, which was called "The Art of Stenography or Short Writing by Spelling CharacterJe." Then came Edward Willis, Jeremiah Rich, William Mason. Thomas Gurney, as well as many others. Ail of these systems had many defects, and the entire idea was rejuvenated when in the early part of the nineteenth century Isaac Pitman, who afterward was knighted, presented his system, which is still In use and which has been the foundation for most of the systems now practiced.—Exchange.

Yet the Holy Land is a land embalmed in the spirit and customs of 3,000 years ago, according to a description of village life there as prepared by John D. Whiting for the National Geographic Boclety: "Manners and customs which prevailed in Palestine In Biblical days are still unchanged. While the townspeople are ioslng their ancient customs and quaint costumes, the villagers are, in these things, as they were 3,- 000 years ago. Three distinct classes Inhabit the land; the Bedouin, a nomadic, war-loving race; the Fellaheen, agriculturists, shepherds and village dwellers; and the Madaniyeh, who live In the towns and cities and are artisans. "The present-day villages are located, as a rule, either on the tops of hills, originally for protection, or near some spring or source of water. Many are built upon the foundations of buildings whose origin dates back thousands of years. There does not exist a single example of a peasant village that has been founded In modern times. "Village streets are crooked, narrow and unsaved. The farmers* houses are crowded, close together for protection. These/houses consist of one-large room, usually square. About two-thirds of t^e space within is de- I voted to a raJsed, masonry platform, some 8 to 10 feet above the ground, and this is the kitchen, storeroom, bedroom and living room of the family. Below this platform, the cattle and flocks are housed, goats and sheep, a few work cattle, and perhaps a donkey'or camel. "Each village has a guest chamber which is the social center for all the village men, who love companionship and are great gossips. Each day, by turn, one of the villagers furnishes the coffee, beans and sugar, to be served to the men who gather at the guest chamber. He, also, supplies the food and bedding if some ordinary guests come along. "They are, of course, great respecters of persons; so that if a common man happens in, a couple of fried eggs with bread and olives will do for him. If a more Important personage arrives, a pair of roast chickens is provided for his supper; but if a still more honored one or a company of men apear, a lamb or kid is killed. The village gnestchamber is a club of the village men. "Children in the peasant families are always welcomed. The father prides himself on his boys. Even the mother prefers them, and when questioned as to the number of her off- HAS BRAWN IN SPITE OF BRAIN Winner of Mile Run Explodes Anglo- ' American Tradition That One Man Cant Have Beth.

He was a runner of ability when at Brown; he continued to develop brain and body together at Oxford, and his running has improved as his mind has broadened and matured. There is a special reason why Americans should be proud of Mr. Tabor's achieTement, however. TJntfl recently It had been a tradition that, while Americans were supreme in th* dashes, and field events, which require tense skill and quick effort rather than endurance, they were usually inferior to their British coaetna in the long rone, which require what the TftngHshman calls *%ottoeV* or what the American yoath leas euphoniously terms "gnu."

In aad the « * . of NAZARE.TH spring, she will say she has Ave children and two girls or whatever the numbers may be. This is the mors strange since the would-be husband must pay his father-in-law a handsome price for the girl, while.boys are a heavy expense, and their wives and weddings are costly affairs. "Women are looked upon as some* thing inferior. The woman may never call her husband by his first name, but 'Oh father of Ahmed', or whatever the eldest son's name may be. The wife likewise takes the name of her first-born son. The husband will never say 'my wife' or mention her first name, but will say either 'the mother of Ahmed' or 'my family', 'the relative In my house', 'the forbidden', or the daughter of my uncle!' The reason for this last title Is that the village man in the Holy Land marries his first cousin in preference to anyone else, and in fact she cannot marry another if he wants her. "When the fellah or peasant child Is born, Its tender skin, without being washed, is rubbed with olive oil and salt For seven consecutive days it is reoiled, and when a week old gets its first bath and is again oiled. In some localities they consider it unsafe to bathe the baby before it is 40 days old. Mortality among the babies is great, and It is not to be wondered at, for in view of the rough treatment they receive, It becomes a question of the survival of the fittest.

It is very simple and may be built at a small cost The use of trap nests is essential in breeding poultry for both egg production and exhibition, where pedi- <~rree records are used in selecting either the males or females, and has a place in mass selection for increasing the egg production. Trap nests are of value in weeding out poor layers and increasing the average egg yield of a flock by selecting and breeding, but are not extensively used on account of the large amount or labor required to operate them. Some poultry breeders trap nest their pullets during their first six months of laying and use this as a basis in selecting their breeders for egg production. One trap nest (Fig. 1) should be provided for four to five hens kept in flocks of fifty or more, while more trap nests per hen are necessary in smaller flocks. The hens are banded with numbered bands, and a record is kept of their egg production. The nests should be visited at least three times daily, and preferably four or five times, frequent trips being especially necessary when the hens are laying freely and during hot weather. When the hen enters this nest her back raises the door (c), which releases the catch or trigger (aj and allows the door to shut/ The catch should be set so that its edge Just holds the door, which position is regulated by the screw or nail at the lower inside edge of the catch. A washer should be placed on the screw (d) between the catch and the side of the nest to prevent this catch from sticking. The guard (b) around the catch keeps the nestling material away from the catch. The length of the catch which supports the door and the triangular notch in the door may be varied slightly for very small or very large hens. j Constructing a Three-Compartment Nest Cut four seven-elghth-inth boards for ends and partitions, 12 inches wide by 19 inches long, enough one*i half-inch boards 89½ inches long,! laid lengthwise, to cover the top, back) and bottom, and one strip 39¼ inches; long and one and one-half inches wide for the front of the nests. Cut three pieces of one-half-inch boards 12 inches long and three Inches high to insert In the nest to hold the nesting material away from the door. Nail the top, back and bottom to the ends and partitions (see Fig. 2), Insert the three-Inch strips in the nests, and make the guard (b), nailing it to the left side of the nest Bore a hole in the catch (a) large enough so that the catch will move freely when screwed into position on the side. Place a washer on the screw between the catch and the side of the nest Place a screw at the lower edge of the catch to stop it when set, so that the catch will lust hold the door. Make the doors (c) of seven-eighthsinch material, 12 inches by six inches, and cut a triangular notch in the center four inches wide. Put two screw eyes In the top of the doors and bore holes in the front of the nests two inches below the top (inside measurement), through which a three-eixteenth- lnch wire is run to support the doors. Attach a narrow strip to the front of the nests for the hens to Jump upon when entering the nests. Place a button or block of wood on the front of each partition to hold the door when the nest is closed. . If the nests are to be placed directly below the dropping board, a wire top should be used on the next, except for a five-inch strip of wood on the front edge of the top to stiffen the nest *i* Af* ^ - - 5 ^ - +i'~ WOVEN WIRE FENCE IS BEST Problem Haa Always Loomed Up High to the Beginner With Sheep—Put Barbed Wire on Ten.

PRESENT PLANS FOR FUTURE BEAUTY By EVA RYMAN-GAILLARD. We who grow plants in our rooms do BO for the beauty of their foliage, flowers, or both, and get pleasure from them to just the degree that we can bring them to their utmost perfection. To attain this (with plants of any kind) one must know their character* istics and requirements and consider whether available conditions in the home are adapted to the plants desired. If a plant standing in the open beds, or in sunny, southern windows, is making a grand showing of flowers, or brilliantly-colored foliage, do not get one like it expecting the same results unless it can have similar conditions. The same results cannot be secured If the plant is put Into a shaded or northern window. On the other hand, primulas and other plants that produce perfect flowers in cool, semishaded rooms, will not prove satisfactory In a place adapted to those needing more tropical conditions. The plant-lover who expects to hare all sorts of plants grow and bloom In the same window will certainly be found wondering why some of them do not come up to expectation. Even the texture of the foliage needs to be taken into consideration, for rough-leaved plants that are injured by frequent washings have no chance to develop beautful foliage in a room where furniture needs dusting every day. Space is another factor that makes for satisfactory window gardening, for certainly half a dozen plants developed to perfect form and good size are vastly more beautiful than twice that number of deformed specimens crowded into the space. The question as to whether plants should be turned or not is frequently asked, and some people say: "Oh, don't turn them, they will not bloom," and so on. After years of working among plant* I hold this opinion on the subject: Plants grown solely for beauty as seen from the outside will serve the purpose better if never I turned, leaving foliage and flowers drawn toward the glass, but ordinarily they are grown for the adornment of the room and the enjoyment of those inside, and should be turned often enough to keep them symmetrical In •nape, for a lop-sided plant showing aH Its stalk* (to those In the room), la not very ornamental. Very often plant* are bedded out for the summer and then potted for the winter garden window, and almost t often the potting Is delayed until the plants must he taken In or treses; and the result Is a lot of plants that need a good share of the winter in which to recuperate. August is none too early to decide which plants shall be taken into the window garden, sad their treatment from the time of the decision should be mech as will fit them to make a fine display during the winter, rather than get the finest present showing. If they are growing where crowded, a few branches front the ttt-ofdor to give a single blossom develop until the plants are established in their winter quarters. Do not leave plants in their beds until forced by cold weather to take them In; Plan to pot them while the weather will permit having the house open, making the change a gradual one, for plants lifted and taken at once into closed, fire-heated rooms must show the effects of the treatment and will need weeks and weeks In which to regain their beauty. Another thing to be considered Is this: Plants grpwing in the open ground make a root-growth that very often goes far beyond tho limits of an ordinary pot or tub. To crow<rthese roots into a pot too small for them is to bruise tLem and cause decay. The better wayT by far, is to cut down all around the plants with a sharp knife or spade, ten days or two weeks before the plants are to be potted. The sharp, clean cut heals quickly, and if the soil is well watered (soaked) before attempting to lift the plant, one* gets a complete ball of sound roots, well-covered with soil that goes into winter quarters with very little evidence of having been disturbed. Each i of these plants taken separately will seem race a little thing, but each has a decided bearing on the beauty of the midwinter floral display, and for that reason each is, in reality, an Important point Children Cry For £ 4 CO pes Promotes DigestuHiCteerful* riess and Rest.Contains neither Opium,Mofphine nor Mineral NOT N A R C O T I C - AjSn ? r s T ^ qmrUladSuggf Mdimitrgema rim A perfect Remedy for Con&TTpa^ tkm.

CAVERLY Gardner-Chappel A very pretty wedding took place at eight o'clock Saturday evening, September 11, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. B.

After congratulations and a supper they left for their own home in Weet Putnam where they will be at home to their many friends after October 1st. Introductory In taking charge of the Dispatch, I am not going to make many promises as to* what I am going to do, but I shall make an earnest effort to keep the paper up to the standard of excellence that the people of Pinckney have been used to, and of con roe shall improve it if I can. In selecting a town in which to locate in the conn try newspaper business, Pinckney appeals to me in many ways, mostly because of the evidence of*its wide-awake business men with a work-together spirit, clean streets and yards, attractive buildings and houses, and well kept, prosperous looking farms. Being a total stranger here, I shall have to depend on the kindness of the people in the matter of handing in news items, etc., and any help yon can give in this line will always be appreciated. The Dispatch will always be anxious to help in any way. possible any move intended Cor the benefit of Pinckney or its people, and shall always feel grateful for advise from people posted on local matters.

The moccasin flower is a wanton murderer. Its flowers are so shaped as to lure ants and other wingless Insects to them. Once inside they have no chance to escape. There they Btay, struggling until* ihey starve to death. Some orchids, while not considered Insect eaters, undoubtedly draw a certain amount of nourishment from the decayed bodies of their insect prey. Many other flowers trap insects, which they kill and gradually digest as food. Indian Pipes are robbers and grafters as they draw their living from the roots of other plants. The Jack-in-the-Pulpit is a shameless kidnaper. His beautiful pulpit has a slippery, treacherous* lining. When gnats and other small insects enter in search of shelter and food, they easily slide to the bottom, whence escape is impossible. Here at the bottom of the pulpit may be found the corpses of many wanderers, all kidnaped by the Reverend Jack! The pitcher plant is another kidnaper, but in its case it is the leaves that are guilty. There are plants that lure rats and small animals into their cup-shaped flowers to the destruction of the rodent f*l ^ h • f . . , , • i SUMMER BLOOMERS PLANTS AND *s S-"•,.**! IM. Yii. By L. M.

The chief difficulty with them is giving too little water in summer and ton much in winter. When the plants become too large for the pots the leaves crack because they have not room to properly develop, and growth becomes poor on account of the exhausted condition of the soil. Too little water in summer starves the plant at the period when it should be making a new growth. Too much water in winter sours the soil, which tills the plant Good garden soil with sufficient land added to insure good drainage will grow good plants, but for the best results there is nothing better four parts good loam, one-sixth Cine charcoal, thoroughly mixed. ien the plant is to be simply return the ball of earth from the pot and reduce the soil by carefully picking It off with a pointed stick.

One of the woeful aspects of soupmaking in the pre-enamel-ware days was the cleansing of the heavy Iron kettle; for washtng a kettle big enough to hold a shinbone of beef with trimmings was no Joke. Today, however, one can hare the trim, enameled kettle in any size, light, yet strong, and alh it needs is hot suds and a good rinsing to make it beautifully clean and sanitary. If, in addition, there is a colander of enamel ware for straining of the soup into a pan to match, the equipment is ideal for cleanliness, quickness and results. His Choice.

These two young ministers are frequently Invited to dine at the home of said father. The other evening, at an informal dinner, when other guests were present, the small son was asked what he intended to be when he grew up.

The famous botanist was pacing slowly along the country road, his eyes, as usual, roaming from side to side for new plants to study. Suddenly an eager look spread across his features, and he leaned over the low fence inclosing a cottage garden. He had found a plant he did not know. What could 1*. be! If only he had a specimen 01 it to study! At that moment a shock-headed lad strolled along the road and stopped to gaze open-mouthed at him. "I say!" called the botanist urgently. "See that plant there—that pale pink one in the corner? Do you know It?" "Uh-hu!" said the country boy briefly. "What's its name? Do you know what family it belongs to?" The lad Jerked a grubby thumb over his shoulder toward the little cottage as he spoke more briefly still. "Hlgginses!" — Utica Herald-Dispatch.

IS SORRY LIVES WERE LOST Belief of Submarine Commander T h a t Liner Was About to Attack Him Declared Sufficient Justification for Hie Action. Berlin, Sept. 9.—In a note made public tonight Germany expresses regret for the loss of lives in the sinking of the steamer Arabic, but states positively that no indemnity for such loss can be granted the United States. The imperial German government saysthat it "deeply regrets" that lives' were lost, not merely specifying American lives, but apparently including the lives of all noncombatants. The text of the note follows: On August 19 a German submarine stopped the English steamer Dimsley about sixteen nautical miles south of Klnsale and was on the point of sinking the prize by gunfire after the crew had left the vessel. At this moment the commander saw a large steamer, as developed later, the Arabic. She was recognized as an enemy vessel, as she did not fly any flag and bore no neutral markings. When she approached she altered her original course, but then again pointed directly toward the submarine From this the commander became convinced that the steamer had the intention of attacking and ramming him. In order to anticipate this attack he gave orders for the submarine to dive and fired a torpedo at the steamer. After firing he convinced himself that the people on board were being rescued in 15 boats. According to his instructions, the commander was not allowed to attack the Arabic without warning and without saving the lives unless the ship attempted to escape or offered resistance. He was forced, however, to con elude from the attendant circumstances that the Arabic planned a violent attack on the submarine. This conclusion is all the more obvious as he had been fired upon at a great distance in the Irish sea on August 14—that is, a few days before— by a large passenger steamer, apparently belonging to the British Royal Mail Steam Packet company, which he had neither attacked nor stopped. The German government most deeply regrets that lives were lost through the action of the commander. It particularly expresses this regret to the government of the United States on account of the death of American citizens. The German government is unable, however, to acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity in the matter, even if the commander should have been mistaken as to the aggressive intentions of the Arabic. If it should prove to be the case that it is impossible for the German and American governments to reach a harmonious opinion on this point, the German government would be prepared to submit the difference of opinion, as being a question of international law, to The Hague tribunal for arbitration, pursuant to articje 38 of The Hague convention for the pacific settlement of international disputes. In so doing it assumes that as a matter of course the arbitral decision shall not be admitted to have the importance of a general decision on the permissibility or the converse under international law, of German submarine warfare.

Tnousands of dollars will be expended to maintain the schools of Livingston county. The schools of all institutions should pay good dividends. The dividends are not paid in dollars and cents but in boys and girls. The kinds of boys and girls represents the dividends large or small. The ideal of the schools is of course, to train for citizenship. A large part of the training of the child must be in the home, therefore the parents should aot turn over the whole of the respondsibility to the teacher. Home and school should work together. We should have closer co-operation between parents and teacber. Parents remember that your children will have to live with the teacher while iu school for nine months so it is important that the teacher, children and parents work together harmoniously. Criticism of the teacher should not be made i iu the presence of children as it often turns them against the teacher. If the parents would get acquainted with the teacher early in the school year, consult with her freely regarding school matters and visit the school frequently I feel many of the troubles in the schools would be less and the teachers work would be much more satisfactory to herself and to the parents. Remember the teacher is your friend and your assistant in the training of your child. Let parents, teacher?, school-boards and commissioner co-operate more closely this year than ever before. The commissioner is ready at all times to assist in the schools. Be free to consult with him. I am, Very truly yours fl. G. Aldricb, com. * A Curious Toy.

Wal, thet's all thar is fer us ter eat, an' I'm goin' ter take a snooze." He closed the door, fastening it se curely with a wooden bar, and stretched himself out on the floor The room was dark, as the only window was tightly boarded up, and using my bundle for a pillow, I lay down also. In a short time his heavy breathing was evidence enough that Taylor slept, Slowly my heavy eyes closed, and I lost consciousness. The sun was below the mountain ridge, when the heavy hand of the old mountaineer shook me into sudden wakefulness. With nothing left to eat we were not long in preparing for departure, I endeavoring vainly to get my silent companion to converse, be- \ Ing rewarded merely by grumbled and evasive answers. Finally I desisted in the attempt, content to follow his lead. Taylor, astride his sorrel, with gun resting grimly across his knees, rode straight through the brush, away from the pike, down the valley of a small stream. In crossing, the horses drank their fill. "How about the valley ro%d?" I asked as we climbed the opposite bank. The leader glanced back at me. "This yere way la nlgher, an' a darn sight mor* quiet," he answered gruffly. "Soldiers been marching over the pike all day. Mont be all right ter yer, if yer've got a paaa—but Lain't got none. We'll her* good 'nough ridin* In 'bout a mile~mor7v v. "Yon are aiming for the cut-off r* «1 be—yer do kno' aumthin' of this yere kintry, I reckon, but yer've got more eddicatlon than eny Cowan I ever hooked up with afore. Ter don't talk none like mountin' folks." I drew a quick breath, sensing the return of suspicion. T h a t ' s true/' I admitted readily. oa aee I went to school at Coring* they were coins to make a out of me." Taylor atared into my face, hla suspicion seemingly gone, r i l b e d — d - « between us. We camped finally in the bend of a small stream, where high banks concealed us from observation. There was little to eat in our haversacks, but we munched what we had, and Taylor, his eyeB on the horses, broke the silence. "I reckon the critters don't need more'n a couple hours' rest," he Baid. "They ain't been rid noways hard, an' I'm fer gittin' through the gap durin' daylight—the road ain't overly good just now." "Across the mountains? la there a gap here?" "Ther road ter Hot Springs Is ^bcwit two miles below yer. I cum over it ten days ago an' I reckon I kin find my way back- It's 'bout forty miles frum thar ter Lewisburg, mostly hlllB, but a good trail. I know folks et Hot Springs who will take good keer o' us, onct we git thar." We rested, dozing, but neither sound asleep, for nearly three hours. Whatever might be In Taylor's mind, the lonely night had brought to me a new thought relative to ray companion. The fellow was evasive, and once he had frankly lied in seeking to explain his presence in the valley, and the reason for his secrecy of movement. By now we were decidedly at cross-purposes, each vigilantly watching the other—Taylor in doubt as to what the bundle contained, which I never permitted- out of my grasp, and myself as deeply Interested in gaining possession of a packet of papers, a glimpse of which I had caught In an Inside pocket of the mountaineer's coat. His mission, whatever it might be, was secret and dangerous. Of this bis ceaseless vigilance was proof. The light of a dying day still clung to the western sky when our wearied horses bore us into the village of Hot Springs. It was like a deserted hamlet, few houses appearing inhabited, and the shop windows boarded up.

I'll look after them horses. You'll tin' MaBaa Harwood in the dinln' room, sah." I followed the mountaineer up the step*, and into the hall, utterly indifferent as to whether my company was desired or not. It waB not yet dark, but a lamp burned on a nearby table, and a cheerful fire glowed at the farther end. But a brighter glow of light streamed from a room beyond, and, determined to miss nothing, I w*s BO close behind Taylor that my quick eyes caught nfcat I believed to be m swift-signal oX warning to the man within. This, however, was an impression born from my own suspicion, rather than any real movement, for Taylor took but a single step across the threshold, and stopped, leaning on his gun. The single occupant Bat upright,' before him the remnants of a light repast, his hand- toying with a spoon, and his eyes shifting from Taylor's face to my own. He was heavily built and broad of shoulder. The faoe would have been hard, but for a gleam of good humor in the eyes, and the softening effect of gray hair, and a gray mustache. The man had aged greatly, yet I recognized him instantly, my heart throbbing with the possibility that I also might be remembered. Yet surely there was no gleam of recollection in the eyes that surveyed me—and why should there be? I had been an uninteresting lad of fifteen when we last met. This knowledge gave me courage to meet j that searching glance, and to lift my hand in the salute due to an officer of rank. "Ah!" said Harwood in deep voice, "a soldier from the valley?" "Yes, sir," respectfully, "the Sixtyfifth Virginia." "How does it happen you wear artillery uniform?" Expecting the question I answered unhesitatingly. "They'd lost so many gunners, some of us were detailed to help. Recruits are coming in now." "What was your battery?" "Staunton Horse artillery, sir." "Stationed?" "At Front Royal—that was our winter camp." 1 He nodded, tapping his spoon I against the table, favorably impressed by my prompt replies. His keen eyes I sought the face of the silent moun- ! taineer. "You know this man, Taylor?" "Wal, I can't exactly say thet 1 dew, major," he said drawiingly, shifting his feet uneasily. "He says he's a Cowan, frum over on Buffalo crick." "A Cowan!—you mean—" "No, he don't claim ter be none o' ol' Ned's brood—his mar's a widder woman. They ain't no kin, I reckon." Whatever thoughts might have been in Major Harwood's mind were concealed by an Impassive face, as he sat there for a moment in silence, gazing at the two of us. "No doubt you did what you be- , lieved to be best, Taylor," he said at last quietly. "We will talk it over later. You are both hungry enough to eat, I suppose? Draw up some chairs and Sam will find something. No objection to remaining here over night, Cowan?" "I'd be glad to get on, sir, but my horse is about used up. The roads have been hard and we have traveled rapidly." "Well, there is plenty of room, and you are welcome. This house," he'explained, "belongs to a friend of mine, who had to leave the country—too Yankee for hla neighbors. I find it rather convenient at times. Ah, Ham, that rasher of bacon looks prime—111 try some myself." The three of ua talked upon many subjects, although Taylor said little, except when directly addressed, and I noted that few references were made to the war. That Harwood was in the Federal service I had no doubt, although he was not In uniform, and, if this was true, then it must be also a fact that Taylor was a Union spy. The meeting here had not been by chance, although a mystery involved the hidden reason why I, a known Confederate soldier, had been encouraged to aoeompany the mountaineer to this secret rendesvoua. At last the meal ended and the major pushed baok his chair and •motioned Bam to clear the table. T o n two mea are tired oat,'* he said genially, "and you had better turn in aad get a goad aighf s sleep. We'll all of us ride 00 into Green Briar tomorrow.

The black returned with a small lamp in his hand and led the way up the broad stairs. A moment later I was left alone in a small room at the end of the upper hall with one window, so heavily curtained as probably to render the light invisible from without. The door was securely latched, but there was no lock. Then I was not being held a prisoner. After some minutes I extinguished the light, and looked out of the window It waa quite a drop, though not necessarily a dangerous one, to the ground. Those dim ouUineit of buildings were probably the stables, where I would find my horse. With no guardB the trick of getting away unobserved would be easy enough, aud I knew the road sufficiently well to follow Vt safely. But I desired to learn rirat what these two men were actually nu to WHAT HE MIGHT HAVE DONE Inquiry That Would at Least Have Shown That Husband Was Not Altogether Indifferent. It was clearly apparent that Bar* a grrrate wordertth Tayas, after rtellessalalj ara^g I Picked It Up Wonderingly. My Own. Such information might prove more important than my investigations in Green Briar. I stole across to the door and opened it noiselessly. There was no one visible in the upper hall, and I leaned over the stair rail gazing down, and listening, A light still burned within the dining room, but there was no sound of voices, or of movement. The silence continued, and I began to cautiously steal passage down th'i carpeted stairs, crouching well back against the side wall. Little by littls I was able to peer in through the open door—the chairs were vacant; there was no one there. The gleam of the lamp revealed a deserted room, the table still littered with dishes, What had become then of Harwood and Taylor? Were they sitting beyond in the darkened parlor? I crept to the half-closed door, The room was black and silent, although I could perceive dimly the outlines of furniture. Something—some vague sense of mystery, of danger, gripped me. I felt a strange choking in the throat, and reached for the revolver at my belt. It was not there; the leather holder was- empty. My first sensation was fear, a belief I was the victim of treachery. Then it occurred to my mind that the weapon might have fallen from the open holster as I rested on the bed—a mere accident, At least I would learn the truth of that dark room. I stepped within, circled the overturned chair, and a groping foot encountered something lying on the floor. I bent down and touched it with my hand; it was the body of a man. The whole truth came to me in a flash—there had been a quarrel, a I murder, unpremeditated probably, and the assassin had escaped. But which of the two was the victim? An instant I stood there, staring about in the dark, bewildered and uncertain. Then I grasped the lamp from the table in the other room, and returned holding the light in my handa. The form of Major Harwood lay extended on the floor, lifeless, hla skull crushed by an ugly blow. Beside him lay a revolver, its butt blood-stained. Beyond doubt this waa the weapon which had killed. I picked It up wonderingly —it was my own. (TO BB CONTINUED.) • ' Mistake Somewhere.

Mrs. Enderly, wife of Judge Enderly, of a small Missouri towo, complained one day that she had accidentally swallowed a button, which she was holding in her mouth preparatory to attaching to some garment. As the lady was rather given to making great ado over trivial mishapa, and as the judge was much preoccupied, he did not pay much heed. Soon after, however, finding her in tears, he- made kindly inquiry as to their cause. "It's your heartless in-indifference to anything that b happens to me," sobbed the aggrieved little woman.

In one of the German papers recently there was a reference to Bismarck herrings, Bismarck cigars, etc. It appears there are also Buelow herrings which run the Blsinarcks very close in popularity, and also Buelow hams. It is suggested that the failure of Bethmann-Hollweg to associate himself with any comestible is due to the length of his name. Rut an enthusiastic admirer of Hindonburg has been selling cheap cognac as Hindenburg schnapps, and grog as Hindenburg tea. Also a doubtful mixture of various intoxicants has been christened Hindenburg coffee.

When in doubt as to what to plant, plant vines, is sound advice. Vines beautify; they are useful; they are easy to grow; they shade from the hot sun; they hide old or obnoxious features; they encourage the birds to nest about the house; they are the drapery nature throws over and about with a lavish hand to soften and embellish. When preparing to plant vines be sure to spade deeply, manure heavily, and prepare the soil carefully. After perennial or hardy vines are established, it is difficult to cultivate them, therefore, do all you can before planting them. When they begin to spin they must have supports, otherwise they will be stunted in growth and unsatisfactory. There are so many beautiful vines among annuals, perennials and hardy ytnes that it Is hard to decide, if the choice is at all restricted. If you wish to blot out an old building, cover It with vines. If you dislike the necessary fence, turn it into a thing of beauty by planting vines along its length. A dead tree renews its youth if vines are allowed to clothe its branches. Let vines shade the porch and thus make it a cool and leafy retreat from the summer's sun. Curtain the shutterless south window with vines and let them grow about the home wherever possible. The grape is one of the most useful vines. It Is hardy; early in spring its leaves are ready to cast a shadow. Its blossoms are delicately fragrant, and its fruit is delicious. Attention must be given It in the way of fertility, pruning and tying. Among wild vines the trumpet vine, tecoma radicans, wild clematis, (virgin's bower) and bitter-sweet are popular. In transplanting the latter from the woods, be sure you procure one that is fertile, for some of them do toot bloom. The Dutchman's pipe is another desirable wild vine, but it is not as common as those mentioned above. The wild climbing rose has an exquisite flower; and once started grows shoots 10 to 15 feet high in one season. The climbing roses are led by the comparatively new rose, the rambler, and its hybrids. However, its foliage gets shabby and spoils its beauty as a porch plant. It makes a brave show when blooming The good old prairie queen still continues to be the standard climbing rose ; The madeira vine, mignonettescented, has tuberous ' roots, which CROWING ONE'S OWN ROSEBUDS I By L. M. BENNINGTON. } Nearly all hardy rose* can be pro* pagated by either rooting cuttings, or (layering' shoots of the half-ripened growth of the previous summer. i This can be done at any time after flowering, but October is the season usually selected. If layering U chosen, the shoot should be bent down, •ad a slight cut made, slanting, Into the wood at the bend, then the branch should be fastened down into the soil. sad til the better if a stone or brick ' be laid over the buried bend.

The honeysuckles are desirable and popular on account of their many good qualities They grow quickly, forming dense shade and are iron-clad as regards insects and disease. The various clematis are all beautiful and desirable climbers. It Is not generally known that if clematis paniculata is severely cut back after flowering, it will form new wood which will ^ear fine flowers and many of their next season. Ideal plants for covering brick, stone and rough surfaces, are the ampelopsis and hedena helix—the true European ivy. The latter prefers a northern exposure, as the alternating thawing and freezing of late winter Is apt to kill it If grown where the sun strikes it. The ampelopsis, better known as the Boston ivy or Virginia creeper, is at all times beautiful. The tender growth in the spring is delicately shaded and in the fall the leaves are gorgeous in varicolored golds, crimsons and scarlet. Morning glories, cypress pines, sweet peas, gourds, nasturtiums, Japanese hops, wild cucumber, hyacinth bean, are among our most desirable annual climbers. Seeds of them do not cost much, and a package of one or the other will yield shade, beauty and grace. The Virginia creeper, honeysuckle, nasturtiums and moon vines are trailers rather than climbers. Of garden plants the sweet potato and the dewberry are genteel enough to be grown as trailers. They give edibles instead of flowers. this mast be kept in a 1: -¾^ UssjoUy, onttfag « 0 bo rot** transfer it pot. la hi tww sBMflss* htss% taw KM of jam t*i HINTS IN THE GARDEN Do not expose palms, etc., to the full sunshine—those that have been growing winter and spring, in the house. Plunge their pots into the earth to the rim and construct a lathe or slat house over them that will allow the sunlight to shift on them. This is done by nailing the slats two inches apart Climbing roses frequently show signs of mildew at this season of the year. Dust them with sulphur while they are wet with dew. In a dry season a garden alwayB needs extra* care. Leaves will turn yellow and fall, and the flowers will soon wither and present an unsightly appearance as they cling to the slats. Go over the grounds at least every other day and take np whatever has fallen and remove faded blossoms. Neatness should be the order of the day throughout the entire season. the care given it, as some roses root more quickly than others. The sand must not be allowed to dry out or freeze. When the roots are well started, the buds will begin to swell, and the new plants should be lifted carefully and potted in a toil made of equal parts of garden loam, loaf mold and clean sand, given a thorough water tag, and the pots plunged In the soil Of the coW frame, where the planta will not froete. In the spring the little plants can be set in the border.

PEACH DAINTIES OF MERIT Many Wsys of Preparing. Fruit Which Ail Appreciate for Its Perfect Flavor. For peach cobbler, prepare plain pastry from three pints of flour and three-fourths of a pound of mixed lard and butter. Line the baking dish with ihlb and pour in two quarts of freshly viewed peaches, covering the dish with a pastry lid, pierced here and there to let out steam Bake until brown and then cover thickly with powdered augar and serve steaming hot with rich cream. Here is another peach pie recipe: Bake a rich pastry crust until brown and crisp and then cool. Just at serving time heap it high with sliced peaches, sprinkle with sugar and pile whipped cream on top. A variation of this recipe is this: Cut short pastry into squares and fold the four corners to the center. Moisten them with milk, press them down so that they will remain In place, prick the paBtry with a fork and bake one square for each person. Brown in the oven, chill and serve piled high with peaches cut into large pieces, stewed just until tender and sweetened to taste. Top with a big spoonful of whipped cream. Still another peach pie, the favorite of a very good cook, is this: Sift together a cupful and a half of flour, a quarter of a cupful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a pinch of salt Into this cut half a cupful of butter and add enough milk to make a stiff batter. Use as little milk as possible. Roll into a thick sheet, line a deep pie pan with it and slice peaches into it. Sweeten them well and cover them with sour or sweet milk, then bake until done in a moderate oven. A '.emptlng dossert is peach whip. To make it press ripe peaches through a vegetable press, sweeten to taste and mix immediately with whipped cream or whipped egg whites. Pile in tall glasses and serve very cold. Another tempting dessert is a peach sandwich, one for each person. Slice a stale sponge cake and dip the slices quickly in milk. Then brown in butter. Between each two slices pile freshly -sliced, sweetened peaches and pile on whipped cream. NORMAL DAY'S WORK IN HARVESTING CORN METHOD OF PICKLING ONIONS Writer Makes Some Suggestions Which Seem to Be Worthy of Consideration. Peeling the onions Is a decidedly painful task, but it Is made less so if they are done in cold water. Some people even put them in boiling water and allow them to come to the boil before peeling them. 1 prefer the former plan. With small silver pickling onions to each quart of vinegar allow two tablespoonfuls of black peppercorns, two teaspoonfuls of allspice, two level teaspoonfuls of salt, two bay leaves. Remove the outer skin with a silver knife; if a steel one is used the onions will turn black. If liked, peel them in a basin of cold water, for, besides making the operation less painful, it helps to whiten them by removing some of the essential oil. Dry them lightly in. a cloth. Put the vinegar, spices and bay leaves in a saucepan, boil them until the vinegar ts well flavored, and let It get cold. Put the onions in jars or wide-necked bottle, fill them up with the vinegar, adding a little 8pice to each bottle. Cork down tightly. They will be ready for use in about a month.—Boston Globe. An Excellent Field of Corn. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The office of farm management of the department of agriculture has gathered data from 25,000 farmers in different parts of the ^United States and has made many direct observations as to the amount of work that can be expected in harvesting corn with different machinery and by hand.

While on some farms the average may be exceeded, in many cases, It will be somewhat high, but at any rate the averago can be used on the average farm in figuring the least amount of time that should be allowed. Of course, in using such averages due weight has to be given to the fact that rainy woather may interfere with the harvesting campaign, and allowance must be made for such operations. The following table shows the average acreages harvested with a binder for a normal day, using different numbers of horses: Number of Harvested Horses. Yield Per Acre. PerA cDreasy..

It will be seen from these figures that the average acreage per man is 2.93 and the average acreage per horse 4.17. The tables given below, which Bhow a normal day's work when harvesting is done by hand with the ordinary corn knife, are interesting for comparison with the result accomplished with machinery. Where corn is cut, shocked and tied by hand, increases in yield add to the bulk of stalks and reduce the acreage cut daily. The averages indicate that from 1.4 to 1.7 acres can be harvested daily by one man. In tying and shocking corn, the average indicates that a man can cover from three to five acres, depending on the yield.

Where corn is husked continuously from standing stalks, about 60 per cent more can be husked. Where one man husks, hauls and unloads from standing stalks, it is seen that corn can be husked about 25 per cent more rapidly than can be done from shocks piled on the ground.

In the vaults of the Mercantile Truat and Deposit company, where thousands of dollars' worth of securities and other valuables have been placed for safe keeping, twenty or more violins of all descriptions have been packed carefully away by their owner in the hope that some day they will make him independently rich, a Baltimore dispatch to the Philadelphia Record states. . The owner is Frank Delia Torre of 1629 North Calvert street, prominent in society. Tho instruments do not represent much value now, but 2Q years hence, the owner says, there Isn't an instrument among them that will bring less than $4,000 or (5,000. Delia Torre now is in England. About eight months ago he was called to Europe on business, and has been there ever since. But for months before he sailed he occupied his time in collecting all kinds of violins and remaking them. In this sort of work he is remarkably skillful But it is the old violin that produces the tone which appeals to the trained ear of the musician and commands high prices. Twenty years hence, it is believed, violins of Delia Torre will be classed witlf the best instruments to be found in America. MAKES A SPLENDID DESSERT Libel on the Bagpipe. All English battalions were recently warned to keep a careful watch for any contrivances which the Germans might use with the object of producing poisonous gases. Shortly afterward a certain regiment on taking over some trenches found an old bagpipe left in the lines. At once the colonel, who possessed a rare sense of humor, sent the following message to brigade headquarters: "A weird instrument has Just been discovered j in my trenches; it is believed to be used for producing asphyxiating noises."

A French Pear Dessert.—Every Frenchwoman knowB the value of combining cooked fruit with cereal for the fa miry dessert. Here is her favorite way of serving pears: Peel, core and cut i£ halves half a dozen firm pears. Cook them slowly for an hour in a sirup of two cupfulB of water and one of sugar. Meantime boll in a double boiler for about an hour a half cupful of rice in two cupfula of milk, with a small piece of butter and sugar and vanilla to taste. When the rice is cooked turn it into a mold. The .French cook keeps the rice warm while it is setting in the mold, but it would probably suit the American taste better to place the mold on ice. When ready to serve turn the rice out on a round dish and arrange the pears neatly In a border. Pour over them the simp in which they have been cooked, flavored. Lf desired, with a little rum. Canned Pears,—Bartlett pears are considered by many housekeepers the best for canning. If not perfectly ripe they can be easily mellpwed by wrapping them up in a woolen blanket, but they must be a little under rather than over-ripe for canning. To every quart Jar allow seven or eight medium-sized pears, a pint of water and one-fourth pound of sugar. Cut the fruit in halves, pare, core and throw at once into cold water to prevent discoloration. Put the sugar and water first into a preserv- Ing kettle and let heat slowly; when the scum appears remove It carefully, and as soon as the sirup boils hard add the fruit and boil all together from three to ten minutes. Put a cloth wet In cold water around the Jar when putting in the hot fruit, in order to prevent breakage, and further make sure against this by putting in a couple of pears and a little juice at a time. When the jar is full run a silver knife down the sides of it to let out the air bubbles, and seal tightly while the fruit is still hot. Canned pears should be kept in a cool, dark place. Seckel pears, which may be canned in the same way, are best when picked directly from the tree and canned at ofte. If too hard both they and the Bartietts may be boiled for ten minutes or less before putting them in the sirup TO PREPARE SPICED PLUMS 10c Worth of <fl Will Clear $1.00 Worth of Land G e t rid of the stumps a n d grow big crops on cleared land.

Fabric of That faBhion and not intrinsic value skyrockets the price of fancy weaves was recently acknowledged by a cotton manufacturer, Beatrice Denlson writes in Good Housekeeping. He was speaking of "gaberdine." the season s favorite. "Why, do you know,' he Batd. "it's the same old imitation cotton serge that we've been making and Belling to retailers in small towns in the South and West for years" It never would 'go' in the large cities, but now that it's been given this new French name of the woolen goods so popular this spring, we can't make enough of it. Naturally, when the supply gets short the price goes up. It's our chance— and the retailer's—and we both take it" This is an excellent illustration of the way in which ignorance of the real value of a fabric plays the buyer into the hand of the merchant Easily settled.

EXPLORER THOUGHT LOST IS SAFE ON BANKS LAND NO CASUALTIES SUFFERED Mob In M eta mo rat Demand* Quna of Carranza Commander But Are Refused—General Investigate*. Brownsvllle.Tex.—Amerioan cavalryman had two fights with Mexicans across the Rio Grande Friday, one here and one near Donna, about 60 mile* up the river. In both claahes the Amerioan sol« diers were fired upon and returned the fit wjtbout themselves suffering any oneaaltieT. Ten Amerioan cavalrymen in the Donna fight, which lasted two hours and a half Friday afternoon, reported they were fired upon by about 366 Mexicans and believed that they had hfc H of their assailants. Twenty American cavalrymen fought on the outskirts of BrownsviHe for half an hour with Mexicans on the opposite bank of the river. After the fight one Oarransa soldier was taken to Matamoros, probably fatally wounded, but Oarranza officers denied emphatically that any of their men Joined in the battle. Colonel A. P. Blocksom, American ©ommander at Fort Brown, here, reported to Major-General Funston at San Antonio Friday night that the Mexicans started the firing near Brownsville. Immediately after the battle a small mob formed in Metamoros, about the headquarters of General E. P. Nafarrate, Carranza commander, shouting: "Give us guns." They had heard the rifle shots and were angered by reports that their people had been fired upon. General Nafarrate refused their demands. He sent his chief of staff, Colonel P. A. Chapa, to investigate, and Colonel Chapa took United States Consul Jesse H. Johnson with him to the Mexican side of the battleground. Mr. Johnson found some evidence to support the Mexican soldiers' claim that they were not implicated in the fight, but after coming to Brownsville to learn the American version, Mr. Johnson said he was convinced that Colonel Chapa had not yet been put in possession of all the facts.

DOCTOR SNYDER IS FET1RED Retiring Official Hat Served For Twenty Year* and 8ees Great Future for College—Permanent President to be Chosen Soon. TO PROTEST BRITISH RULING Administration Will Object to Burden of Proof Being Placed_on Shipper, - Washington—The British prize j court ordered the confiscation of the $15,000,000 worth of American meat I products chiefly because the American packers declined to accept the British construction of law that placed the burden of proof on the shipper, instead of the government, according to a dispatch from Consul General Skinner at London to the state department Friday.

Bast Lansing—Prof. Frank Stewart Kedzie assumed office of president of Mlohlgan Agricultural college Thursday, to act until a permanent president is appointed by the state board of agriculture. Prof. Kedzie's advancement to the presidency oame as a sequel of Wednesday's action of the board, accepting the resignation of Dr. Jonathan L. Snyder, tendered in June, 1914. The board followed its acceptance of Dr. Snyder's resignation with a vote making him president emeritus, of the college, with a salary of $3,000, in appreciation and recognition of his 20 years' service as head of M. A. C. The office of president emeritus Is a purely honorary one, carrying no executive authority with it, though it entitles Dr. Snyder to act in an advisory capacity. Dr. Snyder's comment on the results of the day's session was brief. "I am glad the board has acted," he said, "and I am glad to be out. The burden of continuing as president is one which I willingly transfer to other shoulders. I desire only to say that the college is ready for a big future. It has tne possibilities and the resources, and 1 sincerely hope that a president will be appointtu who will make the largest use of them." Dr. Snyder frequently urged the board to accept his resignation. While the board has not yet made a selection, it is known to be considering one of the leading educators and scientists of the middle west to succeed Prof. Kedzie at the beginning of next term.

AMBASSADOR TO SETTLE PROBLEM iCOUNT VON BERNSTORFF HA6 POWER TO ACT FOR GERMANY. EARLY HARMONY EXPECTED Berlin Hopeful That^ Diplomat Can Adjust Submarine Disputes With the United 8tatee. Berlin—A full settlement of the submarine problem can probably be arranged by negotiations in Washington Count von Bemstorff, German ambassador to the United States, Is in possession of complete information regarding the wishes and policy of Germany, according to reliable reports, and has been given power to negotiate terms of settlement with the United States, subject only to final revision ftnd approval by the home government. A. Tonfc report 'on the submarine situation was received here from Count von Bemstorff Thursday and an equally long message of instructions went forward to the ambassador Saturday morning. Both dispatches were of a nature which seems to make the officials confident that the whole submarine problem can be speedily and satisfactorily settled. The form which the negotiations, are now taking goes to strengthen this optimism, for in such conversations Count von Bemstorff Is In a position to communicate many things not adapted to inclusion in a public note, but which are of a nature to convene the American government of the good faith behind Germany's assurances and the government's settled determination to remove the sources of the conflict on the submarine. The hope is expressed here that the | negotiations can be pushed through I without delay, and that no further ! issues may be brought in to complicate a settlement. j The German government will give I its careful consideration to the evi-* dence concerning the circumstances which attended the sinking of the steamship Arabic, submitted by the American government through Ambassador Gerard. Gottlieb von Jagow, the foreign minister, made a statement to this effect in an interview Friday night Foreign Minister von Jagow said in his interview' that Germany could not well repudiate the report of the commander of the submarine which sank the Arabic; nevertheless, there was room for a difference of opinion and Germany would examine carefully the evidence from Washington. He repeated the assurance that enemy passenger steamers which respected the maritime code would not be attacked without warning, saying explicit directions had been given the submarine commanders, and asserted the whole German government stood behind this policy.

Into the Enemies' Hands. The major lay dead, with my bloodstained • revolver — evidently the weapon which had struck the blow— lying beside him. Dawn would reveal the deed, and I would be discovered alone in the house. Only my wakefulness, my desire to investigate, had interfered with the complete success of this hideous plan. Taylor had prepared himself for.this emergency, had deliberately taken the weapon for that very purpose: Where had the fellow gone? And what had become of the negro? i I Btood there, lamp in one hand and revolver in the other, staring down at the dead face of this man who had once been my father's friend. Out of the mist floated the face of the girl, the girl who had waved to me In the road. vThe vision brought back to me coolness and determination. I felt through the pockets of the dead man and found a knife, keys and a roll of bills untouched, but not a scrap of paper. On the floor, partially concealed by one arm, was a large envelope, unaddressed, roughly torn open. It was some document, then, the murderer sought, and he had fled with it in his possession. Intent now on my one purpose of discovery, my mind active and alert, I began a rapid search of the house. The front door was fastened and barred, proving Taylor had not left that way. There was but one other room on that floor, a kitchen In considerable disorder, as though the servant had made no effort to complete his work; but its outer door stood unlatched. Sam must have gone with the mountaineer in his hasty flight— must be equally guilty. This wac the only conclusion possible, and the knowledge that I was left there alone rendered my own position precarious. Harwood had snrely never venture* into this doubtful region without having soldiers within call, no doubt in the village, who, if he failed to appear when expected, would search for him. Before they came, and made discovery of the dead body, I must be safely beyond reach. If found there, no defense, no asseveration of innocence, would ever save me from condemnation. Their vengeance would be swift and merciless. Thinking now only of my own escape unobserved, I felt my way into the night with my bundle. This would be Federal territory; or if not, already, my night's ride would bring me well within their lines before dawn. I slipped instantly out of the soiled suit of gray and donned the immaculate blue, buckling the belt about my waist, and securely hooking the saber. Then I scooped out a hole in the soft dirt and buried the old uniform, tearing my pass Into shreds, scattering the fragments broadcast It was so lonely and still all about that I felt a return of confidence, a renewed courage. The house behind me, and the stable before, were mere outlines, scarcely discernible through the gloom. Once safely In the saddle, I circled the gloom of the house silently, and followed the roadway to the gate. Not a light gleamed in any direction and 1 eould recall no other house near by. ^hfle it remained to view I could not remove my eyee from the mansion I ba4 just left, c>r forget the dead bod> | grown suddenly harder. lying there in the dark. The shying of my hone at the gate caused me to the Hack something lying the poet At first X deemed it mere shadow, but the animal would respond even to tfce spur, and I to ascertain the of an frigid. The negro lay fern maatmv a auife la Us heart ^TWa It was Taymyself to be captured would spoil everything. I rode toward Hot Springs as rapidly as I dared, watchful of every deepening shadow, until I came to the first Btraggllng houses. These were dark and silent, and not so much as a dog barked as I walked my horse cautiously forward toward the main street I saw but one dim light streaming through an uncurtained window of what looked like a law office, and passed close enough to learn that a group of men within were playing cards. It was highly probable these belonged to the major's escort I passed the place unobserved and rode on into the night, feeling I had escaped eTom immediate danger. At what I took to be the tavern corner I discovered the road leading to the left and turned in that direction, assured that it would lead directly Into the heart of Green Briar. The road ran through thick woods, the darkness intense, and as the way was silent and seemed deserted I gave the animal the spur. I must have loped along thus for ten minutes, all thought of pursuit already dismissed, and my mind occupied with plans for the future*, when the woods suddenly ended in a bare ridge, the ribbon of road revealing itself under the soft glow of the stars. I know not why I heard no sound of warning, but at the Instant a half dozen shadows loomed up blocking the path. I barely bad .time to rein in my horse before we were intermingled, the surprise evidently mutual, although one of the newcomers was swift enough to seize my animal's bit, and hold him plung1 ing in fright I clung to the stirrups, aware of the flash of a weapon in my face, and an oath uttered in a gruff voice. "In God's name! where did you come from? Here, Snow, see what this fellow looks like." The speaker had a wide-brimmed hat, drawn low over his face, and a cape concealed his uniform. But Snow wore the cap of the Federal cavalry, and I knew I had fallen into Yankee hands. "I have no objection to telling you my name and rank," I said coldly, "but lower that gun first; I am in uniform." The rather contemptuous tone of voice employed had greater effect on the fellow than the evidence of his eyes. His arm fell to his side, although he still retained a grasp on my bridle. "So I see," but with no cordiality in the words. "But that is hardly convincing. Federal officers are rare birds who ride these roads alone. Who are you, sir, and why are you here?" "Perhaps I may be privileged to ask first by what authority you halt and question me?" He laughed, and waved the weapon he still held toward the others of his party. "Our force alone is sufficient authority I should suppose. However, I will set your mind at rest—I am Captain Fox, in command of a detachment of the Twelfth Pennsylvania cavalry." "Oh, yes," I responded more pleasantly, "of General Ramsay's command. You know Major Harwood, no doubt?" "We are of his escort,'* both suspicion and command lost before my cool assurance. "You are in the service, sir*" "Third United States cavalry; on recruiting detail I was to meet Harwood at Hot Springs, but was told he had gone to Green Briar.'' "By whom?" "A scout X met by chance; he a»ve the name Taylor." The captain swore grimly, glancing across my hone into the face of the trooper opposite. "Well, this stumps me!" his voice I t doesn't sound straight for we left him safely in Hot 8prings an hour before sundown, and he had no purpose at that tlmo exespt to wait than far Taylor. Do you carry any papers!" I drew thro&cJai envelope from my pocket and aald tt out to Urn calmly. He opened the dap. - A little ngat rww—yes, a match will do." The same lit up their ear a tltffrfaead maa wttk and tmpetlat Ws taeta oddly preset the trooper older ia marked a change in hie expression before the match went out "Oh, I see—you are Lieutenant Raymond. Got to us earlier than you expected. Find many recruits north?" "No," 1 answered, taken completely by surprise, but managing to control my voice. "That was why I thought 1 might accomplish more in this section. Those counties have been combed over." I hesitated an instant, and yet it was best for me to learn what I could. "I was not aware, captain, that my projected visit had bee a announced." He laughed, and the second match went out leaving us again in darkness. "Nor was i t officially; merely a friendly letter from an officer on Heitzelman's staff to our major asking for you a friendly reception. Camp gossip brought the news to me. You knew Harwood?" "No; only General Ramsay advised me to confer with him, because of his intimate knowledge of this Bection. He belonged, I believe, in Green Briar?" "Yes, we were at his place yesterday; south of Lewisburg. What sort of a Rooking man was this fellow Taylor?" I described him minutely, hoping for some recognition, but the captain did not appear to recall any such character. "We have only been in this region a few months," he said, in explanation, "and I don't remember any such chap. He is -none of Ramsay's scouts. What do you say, Snow?" "Only man like that I've heard of, sir, is old Ned Cowan, and it ain't likely he's left the mountains to go into 'Old Jack's' camp." Fox laughed, as though the idea amused him. "Hardly. Cowan is too well known to take the risk. Either side would hang the hound on sight. Well, let's ride along Into Hot Springs. You'll come with us, lieutenant?" There was no excuse left me, no reason that I could urge for riding on alone westward. Indeed, before I could clearly^ collect my thoughts, 1 was in the midst of the horsemen, "Not Robbery, for Here Is Money and a Watch." slowly moving east once more over the dark road. Riding as rapidly as the darkness made possible, we clattered Into the deserted street at Hot Springs, and Fox cursed vigorously the negligent guard. The sergeant knew little of where Major Harwood had gone, as he had given no orders, and not even intimated the probable time of his return. When last seen he was riding out the south road accompanied only by his servant Fox swore again, and ordered the men into saddle, and we swung out at a sharp trot along the dirt pike. I rode next him, but the captain was in such rage I kept silent knowing well the tragic discovery soon to be revealed. The gray dawn began to steal about us, making objects near at hand visible, and revealing the tired faces of the cavalrymen. T h e n was sufficient light to enable us to perceive the gloomy house in the oak grove, and the motionless form lying beside the gate. Fox drew up his hone with a jerk; and leaned forward staring. "My God, men!" he exclaimed, choking, "That's Harwood's nigger. Turn the body over, Green—ah! the poor devil was knifed. Here, a half dosen of you, unsling carbines and follow tte-*then*s been dirty work dona. Sergeant don't let your men destroy boat hoofprlnts la the road. Lively now. lads!" I advanced with them up the driveway, fearful that If 1 *aM seek it might later be commented upon. The Croat door raises* atfmrttaao* but we entered *r*m tHa res*.' flaei'jthlM "Dead lor hours," he exclaimed in a tone of horror, turning bis gaze upon me. "Struck from behind—see, Raymond. What in God's name can this mean?" v He began searching the pockets. "Not robbery—for here ia money, and a watch. But the papers axe gone, every scrap of them." He looked about at.the men. "The major bad his papers with him, did he not Chambers?" "Yea, sir," and the young, boyish soldier addressed straightened up. "I was with him when he put on citizen's clothes and he slipped a big buff packet into his pocket" Fox's bewildered glance met mine. "Do you know what that packet contained, captain?" 1 questioned. "I do not know. Harwood expected to meet Taylor here at Hot Springs, but I think there were others to be here also. The major kept his own counsel, but something I overheard caused me to believe his engagement with Taylor was of a more private nature. Chambers was his clerk, perhaps he knows." The lad shook his head, his eyes on the dead man. ".I'm certain those papers were not meant for him, sir," he answered slowly. "They were to be given to a scout named Dailey. It was some other business that brought the major here all alone—but he never told me." There was nothing further to be discovered, and Fox realized the necessity of haste. His orders were prompt. Four men were detailed to bury the body, and then rejoin the column as Soon as possible. The others were marched back to the gate, and remounted. It was an hour later when we came suddenly to the fork, the south branch leading over a long clay hill, the west along a rocky ridge. Fox sprang to the ground and followed the faint prints of the horse we were pursuing for a hundred yards on foot Some cattle had passed southward, but there was a defect in the shoe of the animal Taylor rode clearly revealed in the clay The captain came back, a grim smile on his lips. "The cuss was no Johnny Reb," he said shortly. "That was what I was afraid of, but now I know what to do. We'll save our horses, men, for this is going to be a long ride—that murdering devil is headed for the Green Briar. This is the lower Lewisburg road." He swung up into saddle. "Green, take three men ahead with you, and keep half a mile in advance, Watch out carefully, for there may be graybacks along here. Going with us, lieutenant?" "About the best thing I can do," I replied readily, "my orders were for Green Briar and Fayette." "All right, then, but they had small respect for your life when they sent you in there. From all I hear it is like a menagerie of wild animals broken loose—good fighting anywhere. Only trouble will be there is so much at home there will be no need for the boys to enlist However, that's your affair, not mine." His eyes surveyed his men keenly. "Loosen carbines!" Forward march! Trot!" Silently, save for the jingle of accouterments and the thud of horses' feet, we rode westward, sunlight flecking the dusty uniforms. The pike dipped down Into a hollow and, climbing the hill beyond, appeared the figures of the four scouts. Far away was the hate of the mountains. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Concerning the Dolomites. The fairyland about Cortina is familiar to thousands of English tourists as "The Dolomites." Dolomite, a rock compounded of carbonate of lime and carbonate of magnesia, takes its name from the French geologist "Deodat de Gratet, Marquis de Dolomeiu," who spent his time in 1789 and the following year, while his countrymen were busy with revolution and war, in visiting this and other Alpine districts. He first mentions this kind of rock in 1791, and the word "Dolomite" first occurs in a pamphlet of 1802 describing a tour of his in the Alps about the S t Gothard and the Simplon. The curious point, noted by Mr. Coolidge, is that the marquis seems to have paid no attention to the dolomite rocks in the neighborhood of his own home* Dolomeiu, near Grenoble.—London Chronicle. -«-'•** Bird Wears Artificial Left. Strutting on the farm of John R. Lott near Freehold. N. J* is the only wild bird in the country that has an artificial leg. This handsome cock pheasant owes its life to the skill of Dr. August R. White, a dentist The pheasant with one leg broken off just above the foot and apparently injured in a battle with cats, was found on the farm several weeks ago and waa taken to the Lott homo. Doctor White, a sportsman, heard of tow bird and made an artificial brass leg* which be fixed to the^ injured stump with stiver wires. After Chaapaod bigcan Baking Powders do not MVI you money.

"Yes, I do," replied the weeping wife. "This is terrible. Tell me what you have suffered." "I left him at home while I went away for the summer and he was so cruel and Inhuman that he forgot to feed the dog or the goldfish or the canary bird or anything." Easily Mended. "Doctor, I have such a poor appetite." "Then don't eat so much rich food." The king of Spain is the only monarch who does not sign his name to documents and edicts. He simply writes "I, the King."

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, September 29, )915 of the past, through memory, revived and retouched with MEMORY DAY Once upon a time a Michigan ohool teacher traveled two handforU- seven mile* for the sole purpose of hearing Adeline Patti sing "Home, Sweet Home." This dear old song brought to the consciousness of four or five thousand listeners the precious memories of childhood's days. In large measure, human personality is the aggregate of one'B memory. At the grave of father, mother, wife, hueband, son, danghter, baby, neighbor, friend, the joys and sorrows are the benediction of love. Oar cemeteries are cites of the dead, made beautiful through the magic touch of ibviug hands. It is hoped than on ''Memory Day" every cemetry in Michigan will command the special -attention of our citizens. If, by chance, a* neglected grave is found put it in order and place upon it a handful of flowers. If there is a corner called the potter's field, clear away the rubbish and weeds Here strew and plant flowers. The condition of this particular spot is the real test of community love and loyalty. In remembering the dead we serve the living. I, Woodbridge N.Ferris,Governor of Michigan, invite her her people toaconvene in the cemeteries at 2:00 o'clock p. m. on Thursday, September 30, designated by the Legislature as 'Memory Day/ and there scatter flowers and hold appropriate exercises in memory of the dead. School Notes Lucile Brogan started in school Wednesday, adding one more to the enrollment of the Senior class. Quite a number throughout the school attended the Howell Fair. Hazel Hinchey, Ethel Mulholland, and Madeline Moran visited school Thursday. The fourth and fifth grades commenced stading physiology last week. Clifford Cook visited in Anderson last Thursday. Friday was a holiday on account of the fair. Victor Johnson left for Detroit Monday where he will take up a position with the D. M. Ferry Co. The Juniors regret t o le one of their number. Ladies Will Put oi Lecture Come • The Ladies of the Congregational church who so successfully put on the course last year, have now arranged for an equally as good if not better one than last year.

Griffis in the drees of an Indian Cheif, which he wears as a trophy of war, presents to Lyceum audiences in his lecture on "Things I saw aud did while a Savage," one of the best if not altogether the most thrilling and intensly interesting, and at the same time, instructive life stories ever told by a human being.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH SWE BEA1 rs aivd Shrub TheirTare and Cultivatioiv Japanese Iris. MAKING MOST OF THE IRIS By L. M. BENNINGTON. Iris of all plants Is most indifferent to its surroundings, soil and environment. With satisfactory attention It gives wonderful results. For German Iris, plant the roots deeply; but the bulb should be covered very lightly unless planting late in the fall or very early in the spring, when they Bhould be planted about two lncheB 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 covered deep ly with soil; and doubly so after they become larger. All the culture they need is to have the soil kept free of weeds and hoed •ery lightly or raked just BO the crust la broken or kept loose. About November 1, before freezing begins, give them a good hoeing and a light dressing of manure after the hoeing. Plant or divide at any time. , A few. very good sorts are florentlna, early white; innocents, late white; celeste, rich sky blue; pallida delmatica, rich lavender; fairy, pearly white; flavescens, rich canary; honorably, rich falls, yellow chocolate brown; gypsy queen, smoky bronxe. falls deep chocolate; sappho, deep velvety purple; all very free. 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 all times. Never allow weeds to attain any start in their beds as they cannot resist the encroachments of rapid, strong-growing weeds. Plant them deeply so that the crowns are fully three inches below the soil level. Plant late in October, or very early in the spring. Water well after doing it. They may be planted at almost any time if the soil is allowed to adhere to the roots and kept well watered 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 soil thoroughly. Iris Tectomm, Siblrica and similar types require much the same attention and treatment as Japan Iris, but they will stand any amount of dryness. Iris Germanics, Susiana. Pumila and stmilar types require the same treatment. A good list of Iris Japan Is blue jay, deep purple blue: Mt. Blanc, fine white; Pyramid, deep blue, golden base; Elizabeth, fine white; eshokun, the deepest purple-blue; W. T.

Field mice, under certain conditions, may become extraordinarily abundant, and, as they are injurious to, moat crops, methods for controlling them are of Importance. Unfortunately most of their natural enemies are be- f *er lng destroyed or driven away from the farms, so that these mice are becoming more and more of a serious pest. Altogether there are some fifty species of field mice known to exist in the United States, but for the farmer who is concerned only with getting rid of them there are only two classes —meadow mice and pine mice. The runs of meadow mice are mainly on the surface of the ground, under grass or some sheltering litter. These runs lead to shallow burrows which serve as winter homes. In summer the mice use surface nests of dead grass. The young may be brought forth in either. Meadow mice destroy grass, cut down grain, clover and alfalfa, eat grain left standing in shocks, injure flowers and vegetables—in short, do harm in a hundred ways. In the lower Humboldt valley in Nevada In 1907- 1908 they totally ruined 18,000 acres of alfalfa. Trees and shrubbery are also attacked and large nurseries of young apple trees have been known to have been almost wholly destroyed by the mice cutting through the hark at or below the surface of the ground^ When the mice completely girdle a shrub or young tree and eat through the inner layer of the bark, the action of the sun and wind soon complete the destruction of the tree or shrub. If the injury is not too extensive, prompt covering of the wounds will usually save the tree. In any case of girdling, heaping up fresh soil about the trunk so as to cover the wounds and prevent evaporation is recommended as the simplest remedy. To save large, valuable trees, however, bridge grafting is often resorted to. Pine mice ordinarily live in the woodB and are not, therefore, found on the open plains, though they like land that is not frequently cultivated. They tunnel their way from fence rows, hedges and woods into gardens and cultivated fields, where they live on seeds, roots and leaves. Like meadow mice, they also destroy fruit trees, particularly in upland orchards. They attack the trees below the surface, so that their work is frequently not revealed until the tree is dead. Means of Extermination. When the mice, both meadow and pine, are in smalt numbers, trapping is probably the easiest method of getting rid of them. From 12 to 20 traps to an acre may often be set with advantage in the mouse runs. Where the mice are abundant or the areas large, poisoning is a quicker means of extermination. The following formulas are recommended in Farmers' Bulletin 670 of the United States department of agriculture: Dry Grain Formula. Mix thoroughly one ounce powdered .strychnine (alkaloid), one ounce powdered bicarbonate of soda and oneeighth ounce (or less) of saccharine. Put the mixture in a tin pepper box and sift it gradually over 50 pounds of crushed wheat or 40 pounds of crushed oats in a metal tub, mixing the grain constantly so that the poison will be evenly distributed. Dry mixing, ss above described, has the advantage that the grain may be kept any length of time without fermentation. If it is desired to moisten the grain to facilitate thorough mixing, it would be well to use a thin starch paste (as described below, but without strychnine) before applying the poison. The starch soon hardens and fermentation is not likely to follow. if crashed oats or wheat cannot be obtained, whole oats may be used, but they should be of good quality. As mice hull the oats before eating them, it is dealraWe^to nave the poison penetrate the keraeie A very thin starch pasts is recommended as a medium for applying poison to the grain. Prepare as follows: Wet Grain Formula. Dissolve one ounce of strychnia sulphate in two quarts of boiling wa- Dissolve two tablespoon fills of laundry starch in one-half pint of cold water. Add the starch to the strychnine solution and boil for a few minutes until the starch is clear. A little saccharine may be added if desired* but it is not essential. Pour the hot starch over one bushel of oats in a metal tub and stir thoroughly. Let the grain stand overnight to absorb the poison. Distributing Poisoned Grain. The poisoned grain prepared by either of the above formulas is to be distributed over the infested area, not more than a teaspoonful at a place, care being taken to put It in mouse runs and at the entrances of burrows. Small drain tiles, 1½ inches in diameter, have sometimes been used to advantage to hold poisoned grain* but old tin cans with the edges bent nearly together will serve the same purpose. Field mice may also be driven away by thorough cultivation of fields and the elimination of fence rows. In the case of trees, clean tillage and the removal from the neighborhood of weeds and grass will prove an effective precaution. Finally, the farmer should remember that there are many animals, birds and snakes around the farm which do little or no harm, and are most useful in keeping down the numbers of field mice. Among these owls deserve special notice. Mice are the chief diet both of the short-eared and the barn owL The common screech owl destroys English sparrows as well as mice, k stays close to orchards and farm buildings and is, therefore, a useful assistant LOOKOUT FOR BUMBLE FOOT Often Caused by .Fowl Alighting on Hard Floor From High Perch— Furnish Ample Litter. Bumble foot is caused by a bruise on the fofct resulting /Often by a fowl alighting on a cement or other hard floor without straw from a high perch. This results in the formation of pus. which, if not freed by lancing, win continue to grow until it is a hard cheesy mass under the skin. Fowls thus afflicted, often die as the result of negligence. As a remedy, first try to remove the cause by having the floor well littered and the perches lowered, or construct ladders* from them so the fowls may walk down. If the enlarged foot Is lanced when first noticed and the pus removed the foot may become well, but if allowed to go until it reaches the hard stage an incision can be made through the skin and the bumble removed easily.

There Is the dainty little French basket, also the square shape fashioned on the rrder of the ordinary' waste paper basket. Both are popular and also quite easy to follow. The lining is of valenciennes lace. The first step is to cut a tiny round of cardboard to fit the bcttom of the basket, Bquare. round or oval, as the case may be, and cover first with silk in a delicate color and then with a scrap of the valenciennes lace. Next cut a strip of lace edging a little wider than the depth of the basket and long enough to go around it and half as much again. Gather the straight edge of the lace and sew to the piece of covered cardboard. Put in a gathering of the lace, thus creating a little frill to stand up all around the basket, trim the handles with baby ribbon tied into bows to match the color of the bottom, and the basket is complete. For a Christmas table the baskets could be trimmed with red or holly ribbons. For ordinary use one could get a very pretty effect by using a different color for each basket in harlequin fashion. In this way any scraps of silk or ribbon that night be on hand could be used up. Val lace at ten cents a yard or less will answer for lining.

There seems to be an endless variety of uses to which fillet crochet can be applied. A large square of this crochet could be made into a very charming boudoir cap.

The square should be made with fifty or sixty codon net. as It will be more attractive If the mesh Is not too fine. A picot edging may be added to the edge of the square, or It can merely be finished with two rows of the plain mesh. When making this cap a casing Is stitched around the inside of the square, forming a circle by eliminating the corners. An elastic Is run through the casing; then the corners are wired with fine millinery wire, so aa to make them stand out. The front and back corners are slightly rolled ever the crown.

We rode steadily, keeping well together, conscious that In all probability we were watched by bostile eyes, peering out from behind rock and thicket. We foraged through deserted shacks, finding poor reward, yet managed to subsist, although with hunger unsatisfied. The men grumbled and Fox swore, as, long before night came, he comprehended the fact that we were on a fool's errand; that his little squad was being lured deeper and deeper into a hostile country, but no opportunity to turn aside presented Itself. The night overtook us In the midst of a mountain solitude. The scouts had discovered a 'spring at the bottom of a rooky hollow, and there Fox reluctantly ordered camp to be made, the horses finding scant pas* turage beyond. The grumbling and cursing soon ceased, however, and . those not on duty plept fitfully. I made the round of the sentries with Fox, supping and stumbling over the rough way, through the darkness. "This weird place gets on the nerves," he said, as if half ashamed of the confession. "Do you know, Ray* mond, I have felt for the last hour aa ilf we were riding into some trap." He glanced nervously behind him. "I don't believe there has aver been a Federal detachment down as far as this before. We're in old Ned Cowan's country."

"And his followers?" - "Mountain men mostly, together with a bunch of deserters and conaeripta from both aides.

It was either the culmination of a feud —done for personal revenge—or else the major had papers in his possession bearing on the situation here that could only be gained over his dead body. The man who killed him was old Ned Cowan." "But Harwood must have known him," I protested. "Of course he did; they were neighbors before the war and met there by appointment For all I know the major may have had some confidential communication from the war department God knows what it waa. All I am sure about is that I would give a good deal to be out of this fix right now and twenty miles to the north of here." We sat there for half an hour discussing the matter and endeavoring to convince ourselves the danger was less than we imagined. There waa nothing to be done but wait for daylight. Finally Fox crept forth again to make another round of the pickets, to assure himself they were alert, and before he returned I had fallen asleep. The chill of the night awoke me, cold and shivering. The wind had arisen and swept down the funnel in which I lay with an icy breath against which my single blanket afforded no .protection. The man who had been lying next me was gone, and so there must have been a change of guard while I slept I could distinguish, dimly outlined against the sky, the overhanging rock-wall which Inclosed our camp, and the deeper shade of a cleft a yard or two to my left where the dead trunk of a tree stood like a gaunt, ugly sentinel. As I lay staring the figure of a man slipped out from behind its protection and, dropping on hands and knees, crept forward across the open 1 space. Another and another followed, mere ghostlike shadows, scarcely appearing real. For the instant I doubted my eyesight, imagined I dreamed. Then, before I could raise voice in alarm, a rifle spat viciously, the red flame of Its discharge cleaving the nfght A fusillade followed and In the flare I caught grotesque glimpses of men leaping forward, and there waa a confused yelling of voices, s din of noise. I waa upoa my knees, revolver in hand, but in the melee below could not distinguish friend from foe—alike they were a blur of figures, one Instant visible, the next obscured. Yet there could be no doubt aa to the final ending of the struggle. Taken by surprise, outnumbered, the little squad of troopers would be crashed, annihilated. Nor waa there reason why I should sacrifice myself in their defense —a valueless sacrifice. My choice was instantly made, as there flashed to my mind what my fate would be if 1 ever fell into Cowan's hands attired in Federal uniform On hands and knees I crept to the deft in the rock wall and began to clamber up over the irregular rocks. The. shouts and yells, the cries for mercy, the sotmd of Mows, grew fainter and finally ceased altogether. Leaning back and looking down I could perceive nothing in the black void. A voice shouted aa order, but it sounded far off and indistinct X was in a Barrow gully, the incline lees stoop than amid the recks below, and could perceive the lighter canopy of the sky not far above me.

With this for guidance I plunged forward, eager to get out of that drear wilderness. It was considerably after the noon hour before I came upon a dismal shack of logs in the midst of a small clearing. The light streaming In through the open door revealed that it was unoccupied. Tet someone had been there, and not so very long ago, for there were scraps of food on one of the overturned boxes. Unappetising aa these appeared, I sat down and ate heartily, then got to my feet and, closing the door securely behind me, plowed through the tangle of weeds back to the road. + ^Just before sundown 1 emerged from the narrow gap and looked down into the broad valley of the Green Briar. It was a scene to linger in the memory, and at my first glance I knew where I was, recognising the familiar objects outspread before me. Lewisburg lay beyond a spar of hills, invisible from my position, although distant spirals of smoke indicated its presence. A few log huts appeared along the curving road, the one nearest me in ruins, while a gaunt chimney beside a broad stream unbridged was all that remained of a former mill. Beyond this, in midst of a grove of noble trees, a large house, painted white, was the only conspicuous featture in the landscape. I recognized it at once as the residence of Major Harwood. My gase rested usen it as memory of the man, and his fate, surged freshly back into mind. The place had been spared destruction; it remained unchanged—but from that distance It had the appearance of desertion. This condition was no particular surprise, for Harwood'i daughter, scarcely more than a girl to my remembrance, would doubtless be with friends, either in Lewisburg or Charleston; and that the mansion, thus deserted, still re- And •sgsti to Clamber YP Over the Irregular Rocks. malned undestroyed was, after alt not so strange, for the major's standing throughout that section would protect hia property. I moved on down the steep descent, losing sight of the house aa the road twisted abont the hilt although memory of it did not desert my mind. Some ahove waa tightly closed, yet both the windows to the right smashed in, sash and alt leaving a wide opening. I crept forward, and endeavored to peer ^through, but the darkness within waa opaque. I was wet through, chilled to the hone, my uniform clinging to me like soaked paper. At least the inside promised shelter from the storm, a chance for a fire, and possibly fragments of food. And I had nothing to fear but darkness. My revolver was under the flap of my cavalry jacket, dry and ready tor use. I brought it forward, within easy grip, and stepped over the silt My feet touched carpet littered with [ broken glass, and I felt about cautiously. My recollection of the interior of the house was vague and Indistinct'but I knew a wide hallway led straight through from front door to back, bisected only by a broad stairway leading to the upper story. I groped along the inside wall, found the door at last, standing wide open, and emerged into the halt The way waa clearer here, and there came into my mind the recollection of a bracket lamp, on the wall at the foot of the stairs. My remembrance of the position of the lamp was extremely vague, yet my fingers found it at last and lifted it from the bracket The globe contained oil, and, in another moment, the light revealed my imme diate surroundings. The total desertion of the place was evident; the destruction which had been wrought was plainly the work of cowardly vandals, who had broken In after the Harwoods left Convinced of this truth, I proceeded fearlessly to explore, Beeking merely the warmth of a fire and food. The library, a large room, the walls lined with bookcases, afforded no encouragement but I stopped in amazement at the door of the dining room—the light of my lamp revealing a table at which someone had lately eaten, apparently alone. There was a single plate, a cup and saucer, a half loaf of bread, with a slice cut, part of a ham bone, with considerable meat remaining untouched, and a small china teapot For an Instant the unexpected sight of these articles fascinated me, and then my eyes caught a dull glow in the fireplace at the opposite end of the room—the red gleam of a live ember. The shock of this discovery was so sudden as to give me a strange, haunted feeling. The house had seemed so completely deserted, so desolate, wrapped in silence and darkness, that the very conception that someone else was hiding there came upon me like a blow. Who could the person be? Well, I would find out. Thus far the advantage was mine, for I knew of another presence, while the fellow, whoever he might prove to be, in all probability possessed no knowledge of my entrance. My heart beat fast but from excitement not fear. With cocked revolver in one hand, the lamp In the other, I silently opened door after door, peer ing into vacant apartments, half thinking every shadow to be a skulking figure. The search revealed nothing; not even further evidence of any presence in the house. The kitchen fire wss cold, the cooking utensils clean, and in their proper places. Satisfied already that the mysterious Invader had departed, yet sternly determine** now to explore the whole house, and have done with the business, I mounted the back stairway, a strip of rag carpet rendering my steps silent and, with head above the landing, flashed my light cautiously along the upper halL There were doors on either tide* the most of them open, but the third to the left waa closed.

HOW TO COOK MUSHROOMS. VEEY simple way to cook them Is to bake them. Wash the mushrooms, removing the stems and peel them, then drop into ice water con taming a few drops of lemon juice. This will prevent them from darkening while the last ones are being peeled. After all are peeled dry them on a cloth, butter a baking pan and place the mushrooms in it underside up. In each mushroom put about a half teaspoonful butter and a few drops lemon juice, then sprinkle all with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Let them bake for half an hour. * In the meantime chop the peel and stems and boll these in a half pint of good stock. Thicken the stock with a tablespoonful of flour and one of butter to make a sauce and pour this over the mushrooms, when the latter are taken from the oven. A pound of mushrooms prepared in this way makes an exceptionally good accompaniment for a broiled beefsteak, and they should be poured over It as soon as the steak i is taken from the broiler. fr?»e#»s#»»»«cete*)e»e»»»#e, Making the Little Farm Pay By C.
