H city of Amoy, r ^ E J T j ^ in tfae tHree months ended i n l y Washington, Aug. 1.—President Taft today was formally notified of his nomination by the Republican convention In Chicago, and formally accepted the, honor. The committee, headed by Senator Root, called qn the president at the White House. Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance was carefully prepared for use as a campaign document. It waa in part as follows: ^ Mr. Root and Gentlement of the Notification: Committee: I accept the nomination which you tender. I do BO with profound gratitude to the Republican party* < which baa thus honored me twice, I accept It as an approval of what I have done under Its mandate, and as an expression of confidence that .in a^ second administration I will serve the public well. The issue presented to the convention, over which your chairman presided with , such a just? and even hand, made a crisis in the party's life. A faction sought to force the party to violate a valuable and ^timehonored national tradition by entrusting the power of the presidency for more than two terms to one man, and that man, one whose recently avowed political views would have committed the party to radical proposals Involving dangerous changes. in our present constitutional form of representative government and our independent judiciary. , , , Achievements of the Party. This occasion is appropriate for the expression of profound gratitude at the victory for the right which was won at Chicago. . By that victory, the Republican party was saved lor future usefulness. It has been the party through which substantially all the nsegress and development in our country's history in the last fifty years has been finally effected. It carried the country through the war which saved the Union, and through Ihe greenback and silver crazes to a sound gold basis, which saved the country's honor and credit. It fought the Spanish war and successfully Bolved the new problems ot our island possessions. It met the incidental evils of the enormous trade expansion and extended combinations of capital from 1897 until now by a successful crusade against the attempt of concentrated wealth to control the country's politics and its trade. It en- JSt?d. I?S1Ai|tPIZ legislation to make the railroads the servants and qgt the masters of the people. It has enforced the anti-trust laws until those who were not content with anything but monopolistic control of various branches of Industry are now acquiescent In any plan which shall give them scope for legitimate expansion and assure them Immunity froia reckless prosecution. The list of legislative enactments for ihe uplifting of those of our people suffering a disadvantage In their social and economic relation to others enacted by the Republican party In this and previous administrations ls a long one, and shows the party sensitive to the needs of the people under the new view of governmental responsibility. Public Mind Inflamed. After mentioning in eome detail these enactments under the Republican administrations, Mr. Taft continued: In the work of rousing the people to the danger that threatened our civilization from the abuses of concentrated wealth and the power it was likely to exercise, the public imagination was wrought upon and a reign of sensational. Journalism and unjust and unprincipled muckraking has followed, in which much injustice has been done to honest men. Demagogues have seized the opportunity further to inflame the public mind and have sought tp turn the peciiliaf con1* ditions to their advantage. We are living in an age in which by exaggeration of the defects of our present condition,, by false charges of responsibility for it against individuals and classes, by holding up to the feverish imagination ot the less fortunate and the discontented the possibilities of a millennium, a condition of popular unrest has been produced. New parties are being formed, with the proposed purpose of satisfying this unrest by promising a panacea, in so far as inequality of condition can be lessened and equality of opportunity can be promoted by improvement of our educational system, the^f betterment of the lawB to inmire t h * ^ ^ ^ quick adminHtration of by the prevention of Uitv*3 privilege ^ t h o u t i £ i i | ^ ^ so- far as; Uta rest we fear a prospect and a dream, a vision of the impossible. , Looks Like Socialism. . lfivtheniltlmateanalTsls, I fear, the , equal opportunity which those seek who. proclaim the coming of so-called scKjIar^usfice^nvorves-a-forced; division, of property, and that means socialisni. • In the abuses of the last two decades it ia true that ill-gotten wealth ban been concentrated i n some 'uhaeserying hands, and that if it were poBsi^le'tdredlstHbute it on "any equitable principle to those from whom it was taken without adequate or proper compensation it would be* a good res u l t to, bring, about. But this is obviously impp.ssjbto and ^ impracticable. All that can be dpne is to treat this as one incidental evil of a great expansive movement In the material progress of tbe world and to make sure that there will be no recurrence of such evil. . In this regard we have made great progress and reform, as in respect to secret rebates in railways, the improper conferring of public franchises, and the immunity of monopolizing trusts and combinations. The misfortunes of ordinary business, the division -of the estates of wealthy men at their death, the chances of speculation which undue good fortune seems often tp stimulate, operating as causes through a generation, will do much to divide up such large fortunes. It 4s far better to await the elimination of this evil by natural, causes than to attempt what would soon take on the aspect of confiscation or to abolish the principle and institution of private property and to change to socialism. Socialism involves the taking away of the motive for acquisition, saving, energy, and enterprise, and a futile attempt by committees to apportion the rewards due for productive labor. It means stagnation and retrogression. It destroys the mainspring of human action that has carried the world on and upward for 2,000 years. Opponents Offer ^No^Remedy. I do not say that the two gentlemen who now lead, one the Demo cratic party and the other the formei Republicans who have left their party, in their attacks upon existing conditions, and in their attempt to satisfy the popular unrest by promises of remedies, are consciously embracing socialism. The truth is that they do not offer any definite legislation or policy by which the happy conditions they promise are to be brought about, but if their promises mean anything, they lead directly toward the appropriation of what belongs to one man, to another. The truth is, my friends, both those who have left the Republican party under the Inspiration of their present leader, and our old opponents, the Democrats, under their candidate, are going in a direction they do not definitely know, to ward descfi object, and that is of acquiring power for their party by popular support through the promise of a change for the better.

They ask for a change in government so that the government may be restoied to the people, as If this had not been a people's government since the beginning of the constitution, I have the fullest sympathy with every reform in governmental and election machinery which shall facilitate the ^expression of the popular will as the short ballot and the reduction in elective offices to make it possible. But these gentlemen propose to reform the government, whose present defects, if any, are due to the failure of the people to dovcio as much time as is necessary to their political duties, by requiring a political activity by the people three times that which thus far the people have been willing to assume; and thus the? propose remedies which, instead of exciting the people to further interest and activity in the government, will tire them into such an indifference asi still further to remand control of pub< lie affairs to a minority. : i , Hostility to Judiciary; - Instead of giving us the benefit of any specific remedies for the,hardships and evils of society they point out, they follow their urgent appeals for closer association of the people In l e g a t i o n ; by an attempt tp culti- Vaief ih'e hostility of ^ p e o p l e tVthe.' c o n r W l i i to represent th^t the> are in feme form upholding injustice and are" obstructing tne ] pppular wilt' Attempts are made to take away all those safeguards for maintaining the independence of the judiciary which are so carefully framed in our constitution.

The Republican party, Mr. Taft continued, stands for none of these Innovations. It refuses to make changes simply for the purpose of making a change, and cultivating popular hope that in the change something beneficial, undefined, will take place. The Republican party believes in progress along the lines upon which we have attained progress already. : The president then devoted some time to a review of what has been accomplished during his administration, including a warm defense of the Payne tariff bill. In conclusion he said: I can not think that the American people, after the scrutiny and education of a three-months' campaign, during which they will be able to see through the fog of misrepresentation and demagoguery, will fall to recognize that the two great issues which are here presented to them are, first, whether we shall retain, on a sound and permanent basis, our popular constitutional representative form of government, with the independence of the Judiciary as a necessary key to the preservation of those liberties that are the Inheritance of 1,000 years, and, 'second, wiiether we shall welcome prosperity which Is just at our door by maintaining our present economic business basis and by the encouragement of business expansion and progress through legitimate use of capital. Appeal to All Conservatives. I know that in this wide country there are many who call themselves Democrats, who view, with the same aversion that we Republicans do, the radical propositions of change in our form of government that are recklessly advanced to satisfy what is supposed to be popular clamor. They are men who revere the constitution and the institutions of their government with all the love and respect that we could possibly have, men who deprecate disturbance in business conditions, and are yearning for that quiet from demagogic agitation which is essential to the enjoyment by the whole people of the great prosperity which the good crops and the present conditions ought to bring to us. To them I appeal, as to all Republicans, to join us in an earnest effort to avert the political and economic revolution and business paralysis which Republican defeat will bring about Such, misfortune will fall most heavilyo n i&f wage earner.

'struggle,' 8YN0r*SlS. fcEnid MaitraneV a frank, free and un- •polled young Philadelphia girl, is taken to the. Colorado mountains by her un«le, Robert Maitland. James Armstrong, Maitland's protege., falls in love with her. His persistent wooing thrills the girl, but •he hesitates, and Armstrong goes east on bt&thess' without a deltake 'a*swer., Enid hears the story of a tnfningr engireer, Newbold, whose wife fall off'avllff and was so seriously hurt that he was compelled to shoot her to prevent her being eaten by wolves while he went for help.' Kirkby, the old guide who tells the story, gives Enid a package of letters which he says were found on the dead woman's body. She reads thfc letteraand at Kirkby's request keeps them. While bathing In mountain stream Enid is attacked by a bear, which is mysteriously shot. A storm adds to the girl's terror. At sudden deluge transform brook into raging torrent, which sweeps Enid Into gorge, where she is rescued by a mountain hermit after a thrilling experience. Campers in great confusion upon discoving Enid's absence when the storm breaks; Maitland and Old Kirkby go in search of the girl. Enid discovers that her ankle is sprained and that she is unable to walk. Her mysterious rescuer carries her to his camp. Enid goes to Sleep in the strange man's bunk. Miner fcooks breakfast for Enid, after which they go on tour of inspection. C H A P T E R X I . (ContlKued). "I will go and cook you some breakfast while you, get yourself ready. If you nave not washed, you'll^nd a bucket of water and a basin and towel outside the door." I He went through the inner door as euddenly as he had come through the outer one. He was a man of few words, and whatever social &race he might once have possessed, and in more favorable circumstances exhibited, was not noticeable now. The tenderness with which he had caressed her the night before had also vanished. His bearing had been cool, almost harsh and forbidding, and his manner was as grim as his appearance. The conversation had been a brief one, and her opportunity for inspection of him consequently limited. Yet- she had taken him In. He was a tall, splendid man. No longer young, perhaps, but in the prime of life, and vigor. His complexion was dark and burned browner by long exposure to sun and wind, winter and summer. In spite of the brown, there was a certain color, a hue of health in his cheeks. His eyes were hazel, sometimes brown, sometimes gray, and sometimes blue, she afterward learned. A short thick closely cut beard and mustache covered the lower part of his face disguised but not hiding the squareness of his Jaw and the firmness of his lips. He had worn his cap when he entered, and when he took lt off she noticed that his dark hair was tinged with white. He was dressed in a leather hunting suit, somewhat the worse for wear, but fitting him in a way to give free play to a l l his muscles. His movements were swift, energetic and graceful. She did not wonder that he had so easily hurled the bear to one aide and had managed to carry her—no light weight, indeed!—over what she dimly recognized must have been a horrible trail, which, burdened as he was, would have been impossible to a man of less splendid vigor than he. The cabin was low ceiled, and as she sat looking up at him, he had towered above her until he seemed to fill it. Naturally, she had scrutinized his every action, as she had hung on his every word. His swift and somewhat startled movement, his frowning as he had seized the picture on which she had gazed with such interest, aroused the liveliest surprise and curiosity in her heart. Who^was this woman? Why was he so quick to- remove.-the picture from heT gaze? Thoughts rushed tumultously through her brain, but she realized at once that she tacked'time to Indulge' them; She could hear him moving about in the other room. She ijhrew'hsidet^e blanket with which sne had draped herself, changed the bandage on her foot, drew on the heavy woolen stocking which, of course, was miles too big for her, but which easily took.ln her foot and ankle encumbered as they were by ,the rude, heavy but effective wrapping. Thereafter she ' lobbied tc-tie door and stood for a moment almost aghast at the splendor aiid magnificence before her. .:.¾¾;^, He h a d J ) u i l t | ^ a level lakelet was rimmed with ice on the shaded side. This enchanting little body of water was fed by the melting snow from the crest and peaks, which in. the clear, pure sunshine and rarified air of the mountains seemed to rise and confront her within a stone's throw of - the place where she 'stood. On one side of the pretty lake in the valley, or pocket, beneath; there was a little grassy clearing, and there the. dweller in " the wilderness had built a rude corral for the burros. On a rough bench by the side of the door she saw the primitive conveniences to which he had alluded. The water was delightfully soft and as it had stood exposed to the sun's direct rays for some time, although the air was exceedingly crisp and cold, it was tempered sufficiently to be merely cool and agreeable. She luxuriated in it for a few moments, and while she had her face burled in the towel, rough, coarse, but clean, she heard a step. She looked up in time to see the man lay down upon tbe bench a small "mirror and a clean comb. He said nothing as he did so, and she had no opportunity to thank him before he was gone. The thoughtfulness of the act affected her strangely, and she was very glad of a chance to unbrald her hair, comb it out and plait it again. She had not a hair pin left, of course, and all she could do with it was to replait It and let i t hang upon her shoulders. Her coiffure would have looked^ery strange to civilization, but out there/tir^e mountains, it was eminently appropriate. Without noticing details, the man felt the general effect as she limped back into the room toward the table. Her breakfast was ready for hen It was a coarse fare, bacon, a baked potato, hard tack crisped before the fire, coffee, black and strong, with sugar, but no cream. The dishes matched the fare, too, yet she noticed that the fork was of silver, and by her plate there was a napkin, rough dried, but of fine linen. The man had just set the table when she appeared. "I am sorry I have no cream," he said, and then, before she could make comment or reply, he turned and walked out of the room, his purpose evidently being not to embarrass her by his presence while she ate. Enid Maitland had grown to relish the camp fare, bringing to it the appeas she would to put it out of her mind. Well, she Was a fairly sensible girl; the matter was passed, it could not be helped- now* she would forget it aa much as was possible. She would recur to it with mortification later on, but the present was ao full of grave problems that there was not any room for the past. C H A P T E R XII. A Tour of Inspection. The first thing necessary, she decided, when she ha/1 satisfied her hunger and finished her meal, was to get word of her plight and her resting place to her uncle and the men of the party, and the next thing was to get away, where she would never see this man again, and perhaps be able to forget what had transpired—yet there was a strange pang of pain In her heart at that ^thought! No man 6¾ earth had ever so stimulated her curiOBity as this one. Who was he? Why was he there? Who was the woman whose picture he had so quickly taken from her gaze? Why had so splendid a man burled himself alone ln that wilderness? These reflections were presently interrupted hy the reappearance of the man himself. "Have you finished?" he asked, unceremoniously standing in the doorway as he spoke. "Yes, thank you, and it was very good indeed." Dismissing this politeness with a wave of his hand, but taking no other notice, he spoke again. "If you will tell me your name—" "Maitland, Enid Maitland." "Miss Maitland?" The girl nodded. "And where you came from, I will endeavor to find your party and see what can be done to restore you to them." ing, to shine and dazzle in his face. As she hesitated in confusion, perhaps comprehending its cause, he helped out her lame and halting sentence. "I know the canon well," he said. "I think I know the place to which you refer. Is it Just above where the river makes an enormous bend upon itfclf?" "Yes, that-is it. In that cleaning we have been camped for two weeks. My uncle must be crazy with anxiety to know what has become of me, and—" The man interposed. "I will go there directly," he said. "It is now half after ten. That place is about seven miles or more from bere across the range, fifteen or twenty by the river. I shall be back by nightfall. The cabin is your own/1 He turned away without another word. "Wait," said the woman. "I am afraid to stay here." She had been fearless enough before in those mountains, but her recent experience had somehow unsettled her nerves. "There is nothing on earth to hurt you, I think," returned the man. "There Isn't a human being, so far as I know, in these mountains." "Except my uncle's party?" He nodded. "But there might be another—bear," she added desperately, forcing herself. "Not likely; and they wouldn't come here if there were any. That's the first grizzly I have seen in years," he went on, unconcernedly, studiously looking away from her, not to add to her confusion at the remembrance of that awful episode which would obtrude itself on every occasion. "You can use a rifle or gun?"- She nodded. He stepped over to the wall and took down the Winchester which he handed her. "This one is ready for service, and you "We were camped down that canon will find a revolver on the shelf. at a place where another brook, a ] There is only one possible way of ao large one, flows into it, several miles, I should think, below the place where—" She was going to say "where you found me," but the^ttiought of tho way in which he had found her rushed over her again; and this time, with his glance directly upon her, although it was as cold and dispassionate and indifferent as a man's look could well cess to this cabin; that's down those rock.stairs. One man, one woman, a child, even, with these weapons could hold it against an army." ^ "Couldn't I go with you?" "On that foot?" Enid pressed her wounded foot upon the ground. It was not so painful when resting, but she found she could not walk a step on it without great suffering. "I might carry you part of the way," said the man. "I carried you last night, but it would be impossible, all of it." "Promise rae that you will be back by nightfall, with Uncle Bob and—" "I shall be back by nightfall, but I can't promise that I will bring anybody with me." "You mean?" "You saw what the cloudburst nearly did for you," was the quick answer. "If they "3id not get out of that pocket, there is nothing left of them now." "But they must have escaped," persisted V h e girl* fighting down her alarm at this blunt statement of possible peril. "Besides, Uncle Robert and inmost of the rest were climbing one of the peaks, and—" "They will be all right, then; but if I am to find the place and tell them your story, I must go now." He turned, and without another word or a backward glance, scrambled down the hill. The girl limped to the brink of tho cliff over which he had plunged and stared after him. She watched him as long as she could see him, until he was lost among the trees. If she had anybody else to depend upon, she would certainly have felt differently toward him; when Uncle Robert, and her aunt, and the children, and old Kirkby, and the rest surrounded her, she could hate that man in spite of all he had done for her, but now she stared after him determinedly making his way down the mountain and through the trees. It .was with difficulty she could restrain herself from calling him bacjc.. The silence was . most oppressive, the loneliness was frTgbtfuf. She nad teen alone before in those mountains, but from choice;^now tbe fact that there was no escape from them made the sensation a very different one. She sat down and brooded over her situation until she felt that if she did not do something and in some way divert her thoughts she would break down again. He had said that the cabin, and its contents were hers. She solved to inspect-them more close- *^<he hobbled back into the great " 'fefjld^ looked about her again. 'Jiing that demand*} 5wasn't, quite •Within the proized tbe oldvolumes on ft q& n % •rveA and across the *** The owner of that book, whether the p*£sent posseBBor or not, had been a college man. Say that he had graduated at twenty-one or twenty-two, he would $e twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old now, bet if so, why that white hair? Perhaps, though, the book did not belong to the man of the cabin. She'turned to other books on the shelf. Many of them were technical books, which she had sufficient general culture to realize could be only available to a man highly educated, and a special student of mines and mining—a mining engineer, she decided, with a glance at those instruments and appliances of a scientific character plainly, but of whose actual use she was ignorant. A rapid inspection of the other bocks confirmed her An the conclusion that the man of the mountains was indeed the owner of the collection. There were a few well worn volumes of poetry and essays, Shakespeare, a Bible, Bacon, Marcus Aurelius, EpictetuB, Keats, a small dictionary, a compendious encyclopedia, just the books, she thought, smiling at her conceit, that a man of education and culture would want to have upon a desert island where his supply of literature would be limited. The old ones were autographed as the first book she had looked in; others, newer additions to the little l i - brary, if she could judge their condition, were unsigned. Into the corner cupboard and the drawers, of course, she did not look. There was nothing else in the room to attract her attention, save some piles of manuscript neatly arranged on one of tho shelves, each one covered with a square of board and kept in place by pieces of glistening quartz. There were four of these piles and another half the size of the first four on tbe table. These, of course, she did not examine, further than to note that the writing was in the same bold, free hand aB the signature in the books. If she had been an expert she might have deduced much from the writing; as it was, she fancied it was 'strong, direct, manly. Having completed her inspection of this room, she opened the door and went into the other. It was smaller and less Inviting. It had only one window, and a door opened outside. There was a cook stove here, and shelves with cooking utensi^ and granjteware, and more rude box receptacles on the walls which were'filled witr^ a bountiful gnd well selected store of canneJ goods and provisions of various kinds. Tbis was evidently the kitchen, supply room, china closet. She saw no sign of a bed in it, and wondered where and how the man hac-^SDenJ tvbe ni§£t4 Sy rights, her mind should have been filled with her uncle and his party, and in their alarm she should have shared, but she was so extremely coraJortaofe, except for her foot, which did not greatly trouble her so long as she kept it quiet, that she felt a certain degree of contentment, not to say happiness. The adventure was so romantic and thrilling—save for those awful moments in the pool—especially to the soul of a conventional woman who had been brought up in the most humdrum and stereotyped fashion of the earth's ways, and with never an opportunity for the development of the spirit of romance which all of us exhibited some time in our life, and which, thank God, some of us tiever lose, that she found herself revelling in ft. She lost herself in pleasing lmagina tiona of tales of her adventures that she could tell when she got back to her uncle, and when she got further back to staid old Philadelphia. How shocked everybody would be with It all there! Of course, she resolved that she would never mention one er> Uode of that terrible day, and she had somehow absolute confidence that this man, in spite of his grim, gruff taciturnity, who had shown himself so exceedingly conjMera'te of her feelings, would never mention it either. She had so much food for thought that not even in the late afternoon, of the long day could she force her mind to the printed pages of the book she had taken at random from the shelf which lay open before her, where she sat in the sun, her head coveted by %n old "Stetson" that she had ventured to appropriate. She had dragged a bear skin out on the rocks in the sun and sat curled up on it half reclining against a boulder watching the trail, the Winchester by her side. She had eaten so late a breakfast that she haa made a rather frugal lunch out of whatever had taken her fancy in the store room, and she was waiting most anxiously now for the return of the man*. ••,<>•• . „ ...•,. 1 The season was 'late and the sun: sank t ^ i h a ' t h e ; peaks duite early i n the afternoon, and it grew; dark and Ike dwellers o t the lowland*. r , around1 her pelled to spend the night alone in thai cabin, she felt that she could not en* dure it. She was never gladder oi anything in her life than when she saw him suddenly break out of the; woods and start ' Up the' steep' trail, and for a moment her gladness was not /tempered by the fact which she was presently to realize with great dismay, that as he- had gone, so he now returned, alone. C H A P T E R XIII. The Castaways of the Mountains. The man was evidently seeking her, for so soon as he caught sight of her he .broke into a run and came bounding up the steep ascent with the speed and agility of a chamois or a mountain sheep. As he approached the girl rose to her feet and supported herself 1*5 In Spite of His Hand She Swayed. upon the boulder against which she) had been leaning, at the same time extending her hand to greet him. "Oh," she cried, her voice rising nervously as he drew near, "I am so glad you are back, another hour of loneliness and I believe I should have gone crazy." Now whether that joy ln his return was for him personally or for him abstractly, he could not tell; whether she was glad that he had come back simply because he was a human being who would relieve her loneliness or4 whether she rejoiced to see him lndl^ viduaily, was a mafieT nol yet to "be determined. He hoped the latter, he believed {he jormer4 £ t any rate, he caught and he!3 her 6uUtreicneT hand in the warm clasp of both his own. Burning words of greeting t-usned lo kU Jips torrenjtiailv; wh«ft he said, however, was quite tfdnimoS* place, aa is often the case. Word I thought and outward speech did not I correspond. "It's too cold for you out here, yotrl must go into the house at once," half declared masterfully, and she obeyedff with unwonted meekness. * <ff The sun had set and the night air^' had grown suddenly chill. J3till hofdj ing her hand, they started toward th cabin a few rods away. Her wounde foot was of little support to her an the excitement bad unnerved her, spite of his hand she swayed; witho a thought he caught her about the waist and half lifted, half led her tb the door. It seemed as natural as i t was inevitable for him to assist her i n 1 this way, and in her weakness and ^e* wilderment she suffered lt without n comment or resistance. Indeed, there f was such strength and power J n hisp arm, she was so secure there, that sb ' liked it.

Chicago 1 TALK of a "rnoiiey trust" in this country has been inspired largely ly the operations of "underwriting syndicates/' : These :;gr6ups of bankers have come to mean more and more in the? jinancing .of the country's industries. Their operations have enlarged at Ihe same time that their co-operation with each other has become closer. ' Whatever may be thought of the morality of this method of financing the needs of our railroads and manufacturing enterprises, Ihe reason for the growth of underwriting syndicates is plain. They represent the reservoirs of ready capital. To them flow thousands of streams, big and little, of money seeking safe investment. To them come the managers of business requiring millions, and the managers come to them because it is the quickest, easiest, and (sometimes) cheapest place td^et money. For instance : New York's transit needs are pressing and great. Two extensive new systems of subways have been planned. Their construction and equipment will cost nearly $400,000,000. After long discussion the city officials decided that this sum should not be raised by the city itself, and so private bankers were a6ked to raise the money. The house of J. P. Morgan & Co. made an offer to finance one system calling for the expenditure within a few years of $170,000,000. Bonds running for fifty years and bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent, are to be issued. J. P. Morgan & Co. are to pay the city $950 for each $1,000 bond. Because the loan would be too heavy for one house to carry, $. P. Morgan & Co. have asked other bankers to take a large part of the bonds for $960 each. A syndicate, agreeing to hold together for five years, will be formed, and its members will sell to investors the amount of bonds allotted to each as they are issued. Probably the prices received will represent a good profit for each. In no other way, say the bankers, could a project needing so much money get it, promptly and on such good terms. In no other way, they say, can the millions belonging to widely scattered investors find investment. Upon the bankers falls the duty of seeing that the loan is secure. A few failures to do this, they say, would dissolve the "money trust" quicker than any moral action—and that view seems logical. I s P i t y W h o l l y a G o o d T h i n g ? Dy FRANK CRANE, Chicago Perhaps the most marked trait of human'nature in modern times, and that which distinguishes it most from human nature in ancient times, is pity. It waa the main contents of the Christian religion for over a thousand years. Almost all medieval religion can be summed up in that one word, pity. The good works most emphasized consisted in giving alms to the poor. The walls of the old churches are covered with languishing saints. The sufferings of the martyrs were wrought into works of art in every conceivable excruciation. We are the heirs of centuries of this -kind of training. Sensitiveness to pain has become our chief mortal force. The history of civilization is the story of a long conflict with pain. -We house the sick in hospitals and provide asylums for the unfortunate Mankind's most boasted medical achievement is the discovery of anesthetics. We have societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Our modern theology has abolished the fires of the next world. We have even produced a sect that denies that there is any suffering in this world; like the Albany legislator who, disgusted with the crime of bigamy, determined to put a stop to it and introduced a bill: "Be it resolved, That the crime of bigamy be hereby abolished." Happy thought! But I would like to put one little interrogation point: Is pain after all a bad thing? And is pity wholly a good thing?

The present situation is very dangerous, for persons who are legal1 'o~ried according to the laws of ene state . f find that in another state their marriage is not recognized, and the effect upon the status of children may be most disastrous.

J. Long Absence Seemingly Only Had Made Hearts GrovV Fonder— Share of His Father's Estate Waiting for Him, With a Welcome From the Granddaughter He Had Never Seen. O N T V I L L E . N . J.—The roving fever had got into Bert Zabriskie's blood, and it made him fidget. He dreamed of the wide-stretching prairies, and the valleys lying snug and warm at his home here, became pitifully narrow; he thought of the lofty peaks of the Rockies, and the wooded ridge back of Boon ton shrunk to an anthill; he pictured the distant great waters reaching down a thousand miles to the sea, and the prattle of the Rockaway river winding in and out among the swales above the old mill sounded like childish mockery. These were symptoms. All the thirty-odd years of his life Bert Zabriskle had lived in one neighborhood. There he had married. There two daughters had been born. But the feVer reached its height, as all fevers must, and he struck out He didn't take his family with him. Other men have struck out that way. Boonton and Montville gossiped. Other towns have done that, too. And this ends chapter one, except to say that some of our best doctors have been trying for years to find some sort of blood purifier that wbuld allay the roving fever in country bred boya, and they haven't hit tbe right thing yet Dosing doesn't seem to do it any good. Descendant of Patriots. When George Washington, Father of His Country, and consequently of New Jersey, was in camp at Morristown Heights and his soldiers were ull of patriotism but otherwise empty, times being bard, a squad of Continentals were sent down tbe Rockaway river to pick up supplies by fair means if possible, but to get 'em. Even at thai early day a Zabriskle kept the mill. He stood at the gram popper. •** "You may tell General Washington," he said, as the incident is handed down, "that so long as water runs and wheels turn and millstones grind I'll do all I can to relieve the distress of the fighters for liberty." This shows the kind of people the Zabriskles were, however. One gray bearded Zabriskle after another slipped into the flour-dusty overalls. The last was Albert James Zabriskle, father of the rover and of two ¾aughterst both married. By hard work, long hours and incidental thrift this miller Zabriskle bad Jready become well-to-do, as Jersey oik measure savings, when an opportunity came to him to make some big easy money. Deal That Meant Wealth. Jersey City was down In the Rockaway river country to establish a water system and bull' a great reservoir. Zabriskle owned the water rights on the river and Jersey City had to see him firBt. There's more money in water rights than there is in grinding neighborhood corn. Zabriskle drove a harp bargain and became rich at just the time of his life when he wanted to knock off work for good. It Rooked then as if he would live out his years In contentment, but you never can tell bout such things. Son Bert took the fever and struck out. Months passed and nothing was heard from him. One day Lawyer Nelson 3. KJtchell was summoned opposite the mill. He found tbe old man rather poorly and anxious to have his worldly affairs set in order, for he felt that his end vas fast approaching. A will had beenjirawn dividing tbe estate into >ihree^parts, but as the to exist in regard to the delicate relation of husband and wife or parent and child, while, of course, the descent of property may be very much embarrassed by questions arising from the conflict of laws on this subject.

T r a i n i n g F o r ftnsst As far as fitting our children for business |r_Js concerned, the publio schools of the United States are far inferior to those of European coutries and far inferior to what they should be. They are particularly deficient in foreign language instruction. The systematic education of 90 per cent of our public school children, ends with their graduation.\r -Commercial njethods and foreign language* must be made part of the public /school course. A boy or girl of fourteen, ought at least enough of tibe sbci&V religious and political .customs and the Tan* j yine. ^ to do bnsmess to This provision being set forth in detail to his liking, the miller scratch* ed his name to the. document and wit* nesses appended theirs. There being no further call to the grist bin, and enforced idleness having added i t s burden to the weight of his four times twenty years, the miller fell .into a rapid decline and in mid* January, four.yaws ago; crape fluttered at the d ^ t t f f c e Homestead and the death J p i | » f ^ the spare room. • ' ' ~ • The rover neral. He abouts remi The count up of the miller's property showed that apart from the fruitful acreage, the homestead and the century-old mill he had gilt-edged holdings that put the estate in the hundred thousand class, which is going some for Montville, a town not giving to money boasting. Estate Duly Divided. In the orderly way of probate law, Mrs. Cora Van Duyne and Mrs. Elisabeth Ball, the Immediate women heirs to the miller'8 estate, got their considerable shares, and tbe. Court of Chancery in and for Morris county, upon application, directed the executors to apply the Income of the rover's share of the estate to the maintenance of the stay-at-home wife and mother and daughters, the latter now having grown out of shoe-top frocks and passed from the brald-down-theback period into the e a r l / stage of young womanhood. Upon the settlement of tbe estate Mrs. Van Duyne and her husband, the latter's health requiring a change, removed from Montville straight across the country to Pasadena, Cal., where they settled. Long-Lost Brother Found. One day last winter, while motoring about in the new country, Mrs. Van Duyne visited Los Angeles. She was driving her car along one of the avenues toward the suburbs when a trol-^ ley crossing at an angle halted her. The motor man, capped and coated in blue, turned his head in her direction. She recognized him at once. The motor man was her long-missing brother. . As soon as possible she arranged to meet him. It was a reunion without formality. And what a lot of things there was to tell—the death of the good old father just as he had rounded out his eightieth year, and of how up to the very last he had had only the kindest thoughts for the absent son; of the will and the codicil thereto, which safeguarded the one-third share; of his own loyal wife and the daughters, and of the marriage of one to as likely a chap as there ls in the valley, and of the new baby with eyes like Its mother's, and Just learning to toddle; of the fire which had reduced Che old homestead to ashes—all these things and more there were to tell in a record of the years that had come and gone since he had struck out. Rover Arranges to Go Home. There was some telegraphing and some letter writing on the part of the sister, and some hesitation on the part of the rover, all of which was quite natural, and as matters of the sort are bound to be settled i f only they are helped along i n the right way, Bert Zabriskle finally decided to return. Bronzed from life in the open, with hair Just a little thin at the temples", but otherwise looking much as he did when the fever attacked him, Bert Zabriskle arrived back In Montville— back to the valley which was no longer pitifully narrow; to the sight of the wooded ridge which has resumed its normal, and to the now prattles a welcome. How quickly the ne; farm to farm a.nd Why, i n for soil others begin to dream of the f a / away. All Glad to See Htm. The welcome that was Bert Zabris kle's was as sincere as he could wish When he reached the turn in the roa<! where the river si rigs its way down tc the mill they were all out to meet hiix —wife and daughter and the baby, to< —and he was passed from one to thi other and there were smiles ot joj and tears of Joy, for they go togethei on such occasions, and handshakings and embraces. And of course there was a reconcili ation, the details of which need no) be gone into, that matter being no body's business outside of the family and some stories of adventure and fi good dinner. After a period which did not Bug gest overhaste, there was a consul tatlon with the lawyers. And the terms of tbe codicil tc Father Zabriskie's will providing thai the son should inherit his share If he returned before the younger daughter reached her twenty-fourth birthday, everything is all fine and dandy. Daughter's birthday is BO me weeks off. "Folks around here had a lot oi things to say when I went away thai were not true," said Zabriskle to a caller—"a lot of things that were Just made up." That is as true as Gospel.

Mulligan Met Death During Fight Near Winehettei^Severai T h r l i l f t g ^ ^ Comrade B. M . .Clayton, Twentysixth Ohio, speaks ot a fight near Winchester as happening July 20. it was the first or second Sunday in August. The command I was in waa on its way back from, the .battle of Monocacy Junction, near Frederick, Md., through Virginia. We crossed the Shenandoah river near Snicker's Gap, and there- got with -Mulligan'* brigade and the First New York cavalry, which was very good company, writes Wm. C. Eckman of Atlantic City, N . J„ in the National Tribune. We went around Winchester and struck the pike at Kernatown on Saturday. The command to which I belonged was a detachment of Cole's Rangers, under Captain Link. He was in the advance. The First New York cavalry did picket duty that night. O n Sunday many were cheated out of breakfasts. Just at that time that old familiar call, 'Boots and saddles," sounded. The rebs had sighted .us, and opened fire on us with three small guns. We were ordered to charge. We drove them hack, but we did not get back to our breakfast That started the fun for the day. We had a few chargers and skirmishers with .Cole's cavalry. About 8 p. m. the enemy came out of the woods on our left and front, and it was there that Colonel Mulligan was killed and left in the hands of the enemy. .He and Captain Link were leading us and the First New York cavalry, but the rebs were toomuch for us. I did not see any other command but Mulligan's and Cole'* men. On Wednesday of that week some of Captain Link's men escaped, and Mrs. Mulligan, under a flag of truce,, went through the lines to Winchester and brought her husband's body to Martlnsburg. We covered the retreat through Winchester on the north of town. I was sent along with 25 or 30 men out behind a stone fence to hold the rebs In Winchester until General AverlU's cavalry came from Berryville. But we were cut off between the two lines. We had sv guide with us, and he led us through, woods and brush and swamps till we struck the old dirt road to Mar- As Led Us Through Woods and Brush and Swamps. tinsburg. It was night then, and we* had not had time to eat our break* fast yet. It was a beautiful moon* light night, very quiet. Lieutenant Wesley Mann was in command.

G. Chapman.) Madeline Rennick was a patient whom 1 had successfully treated for nervous prostration. In the earliest stages of her ailment she mentioned that she had some time previously been subjected to a shock which had completely upset her nervous system., Jast on a certain afternoon ttrwas nec After her restoration to health she narrated a remarkable tale which dealt with her experiences as governess to a Russian family att3t. Petersburg, the details being as follows: I was visiting friends i n England when the situation in the Russian capital w i s offered to me. ^After I decided to accept I bought, among other things, a small revolver and fifty cartridges. I hardly know-what prompted me to make this purchase; perhaps It waa. because my early childhood was spent in a western frontier town and I had grown more or less accustomed to the use of firearms. At all events, I stowed the weapon away, bid my friends adieu and reached St. Petersburg i n due course bf time. My employer was a certain Dr. Chance, who made myself agreeable to him. We frequently conversed on scientific sub- temperature of his stage, and taking knocked again. This time my efforts were rewarded by a faint, far-off moan. I wKs desperate now, and in spite of the risk I ran began to shout down through the (glass. >^If there 4s anyone within, speak," i%ied.. A faint, hollow voice answered me. "I am an Englishman," it said, "unjustly imprisoned and put to torture. T am lh^the*ihadow of death. Help; save me!? "I will do my best to aid you," I shouted back.; I rah to'the door, took out the key, and hurrying to tbe bench where Dr. Chance's large microscope stood, took one of tbe pieces of hard paraffin he used for regulating the jects. Many times when his eyes troubled him I acted as his secretary, and on each of these occasions he paid me ten roubles for my services. At essary for him to do some work in the Blue Laboratory. He required my aid and asked me to follow him there. It was- a splendidly appointed room. A teak bench ran round three sides of the wall, fitted'With every conceivable apparatus and appliance used in chemical experiments. In one corner there was an odd object that I did not understand the use of and which excited my curiosity in no small degree. It was a mysterious looking dome-shaped projection about three or four feet high and covered with a black cloth. Dr. Chance was not a man who encouraged idle questioning, and dearly as I would have liked to know what the apparatus was for, I forebore asking. In this room we spent three hours a careful Impression of the key returned it to its place, slipping the wax impression in my pocket. The doctor did not return, and I resoJved to stay there no longer. I turned off had engaged me to educate his two side by side. It was the first occasion daughters. The doctor was a hand- on which I worked witji him in the some but near-sighted man about fifty Blue Laboratory, but from that day I years of age. He waa ceidly polite to went with him there on many occame and took me straight to his house sions and learned to know tbe room on the Ligovka canal. There I was received by Mrs. Chance, a mild-mannered, fat little woman. v My pupils were rather pretty girls, the elder being named Olga and the younger Mareussa. They could talk English tolerably well and the warmth of their greeting made up for their mother's indifference. Mrs. Chance was a languid sort of creature who appeared to take little or no interest i n what was going on around her. On a certain afternoon Olga, Maroussa and I were seated on one ofjjthe large divans in the comfortable salon. "You know, of course, that father Is English," said Olga, "although now he is a naturalized Russian. He has lived in this country ever since he was thirty. He ls a great scientist, but we know nothing about his studies—how your eyes sparkle, Madeline; are you Interested in science?" "I am very fond of science," I answered, "and have studied chemistry a good deal." A footstep sounded beside me and I turned to see Dr. Chance peering closely at me. "Did I hear aright?" he asked. "Is it possible that you, a young lady, are interested In science?" . **l like it immensely," I. replied. * "Your information pleases met" he eaid. "The fact is I came back to afek you tp assist me. I suffer from an affection of the eyes. At times I have intolerable pain i n the right eye, and to use it on such occasions makes it wprse. Today it is troubling me 4 a gobd bit. W i l l you come downstairs and act as my secretary for a while?" t I answered in the affirmative and In a few moments found myself alone with the doctor in his cabinet It was a fine room, two-thirds of the walls being lined with books, a large double window! giving plenty of light, and a door at the further end letting in a peep of a somewhat mysterious room beyond. «That Is Jhe^ ?lue Laboratory^* said the doctor, noticing my gjiance; "Some day I. shall have the pleasure of showing it to you. Since you have studied chemistry I believe that you may be of great use to me. There are vital secrets brought to light in that room. Miss * Rennick, matters which may eventually set the whole world talking. If I give you additional work to do for me, you will be well paid for your services; but more of this later ,on. You told-me that you are a shorthand expert, and I am going to dictate a paper t6 you which must be posted to England tonight. It will appear in the Scientific Gazette.; The subject will be new to you—I have discovered a method of photographing thought." I stared at him in astonishment, but be merely smiled, and began to dictate Without further comment At "the; end of ah hour he stopped and left me to'write out the report. I finished the paper i n about three hours and went upstairs. The thought of what I had written kept floating through my brain.. \ knew enough about science to be interested in even the sketchy paper which the doctor hacTdlctated. Would he ever be in a posWon to prove his theory, I won Ion Olga well. Finally, one: day the doctor was obliged to leave me for a few moments alone in the laboratory. The instant he left I hurried to the mysterious dome, and raising the black cloth, saw that It covered a frame of glass, doubtless communicating with some chamber below. I struck my knuckles loudly on the glass and immediately saw a dim face peering up at me from beneath. Evidently there was an inner and muc^h thicker partition of glass between us. The face was a ghastly one, horrible with suffering, haggard, lean and white. This countenance, so unexpected and appalling, glanced at me but a second, then, the doctor's steps were heard returning, a shadowy hand was raised as if to Implore, and the ghoul-like vision vanished. I drew the covering back over the dome and returned quickly to my work. 4 must have looked a trifle white, for the doctor peered at me suspiciously, but said nothing. My head was in a whirl. There was some unfortunate creature confined in a dungeon below the Blue Laboratory, heaven only knew for what purpose. "Dr. Chance," I said, about half an hour later, "why have you that peculiar dome in the corner of the floor?" "I warned you to ask no questions," was his reply. "But on this occasion I shall gratify your curiosity. That dome is part of an apparatus by which I make a vacuum. Now you are doubtless just as wise as you were before. I have finished my experiment; let us leave." I went to my bedroom, sat down and thought hard. I resolved that no danger should deter me from tryit*g*1o rescue the victim of my employer's apparent cruelty. After dinner I engaged the doctor in conversation, I exerted myself to please him and.began to draw him out. He told me stories of his early youth and laughed merrily over his exploits. "Shall we go up to the salon?" asked Mrs. Chance at last. "You may, my dear," replied the doctor. "The fact is, the sooner you go the better, for Miss Rennick has some work to do for me this evening. Come on, Miss Rennick, ft you get through your task quickly you may ask me to tell you one of my secrets* and I shall do my best to comply." The girls and their mother went upstairs and I followed the doctor to his cabinet. He Jed the way to the Blue Laboratory, and I walked over to the dome-shaped roof on the floor. Dr. Chance began to examine some microbes which he was cultivating, "I perceive th§t we shall have to put off our work," he said. "This experiment is not far enough advanced for the final test But I know you are alive with curiosity, Miss Rennick. Now, what is.^t you wish to know?" 'T wrote a pape? for youV when I first . came, on the photography of thought You promised your English readers that In a month or six weeks' you would be able to prove your words. The time Is past, Prove your words now. Show me how you photograph, thought of the lock, went up the long passage and knocked at the door of the other laboratory. It was quickly opened by the doctor. I gave him the key, and hurried to my own room. Before morning I had settled upon my plans to rescue the unfortunate Englishman. I would have a duplicate key made and then go to the British consul. I would appeal to the prisoner's own country for his release. At half-past twelve on the following day we were all assembled for the' midday meal. Dr. Chance's- manner was agreeable, but I noticed that he gave me some stealthy and covert glances. Toward the end of the meal be remarked: "I am sorry to see you looking so pale, Miss Rennick. Are you suffering from headache?" "Yes," I responded. "You allow your emotions to get the better of you," said the doctor, pleasantly. "I suppose you are worrying over the secret I promised to impart to you tonight. It grieves me to have to disappoint you. I have to leave the city unexpectedly on business, and shall be absent for a couple of days. I must leave home at eight o'clock this evening. I shall not be back before fulfill his mission faithfully. At seven Dr. Chance rose to go. "I must prepare for my journey, he said. M I sharl return here to give I Schopenhauer, but he never really you final directions just before I came. I left the room, and watched start." you from the passage.

"You will have a couple of days' rest while I am gone. This Is Wednesday; I hope to bo back by Saturday at tho latest" He shook hands and^went Into the hall, followed by his wife and daughters. As they left the servant whom I had bribed slipped into the room and handed me the precious key, unperceived by the others. I went up to my room, resolving to visit the Blue Laboratory between eight and nine. today I kept you by my side, although I did not need your services. I went away to blind you more completely. I came back when I thought I had inrush of air, and then my senses left me. _ When I came to a strange face waa bending over me, and a kind hand was wiping something warm from my forehead, which waa..bleeding-from the glass which had fallen upon it. I given you enough time to enter the promptly guessed that the consul had laboratory. A l l has happened as I j arrived, after all, -and that; 1 was expected; not for an instant did you \ saved. I caught Bight of the face and deceive me. Now I will tell you my figure of Dr. Chance. Handcuffs enthe electric light, took the key out At nine o'clock, If all went well, the consul would come to my aid. I had made arrangements with the ever-useful porter to receive the Englishman on his arrival and coffduct him straight to the Blue Laboratory. At 25 minutes past eight I slipped my revolver into my pocket aud stole down the stairs without meeting anyone. I went Into the cabinet, passed through the laboratory beyond, sped down the stone passage and reached the door in the garden wall. The door opened easily to the touch of the duplicate key; I swung It back and did not even trouble to shut it. I fejt no fear whatever, for Dr. Chance was miles away by this time. I switched on the electric light and walked across the room. My difficulties were not, however, over as yet. It was one thing to have entered the laboratory, but it was quite another to go down Into that dim dungeon where the victim was incarcerated. The face had peered at me through the glass dome, but how was that dome opened ? By what means was the dungeon reached? I examined the floor and discovered a trapdoor concealed by a mat. In the center was a ring: I tugged at it, and the door gave way. I saw that it was shut circled his wrists and a uniformed officer was standing beside him; a tall, shadowy figure, doubtless that of the hapless victim whom I had come to rescue, was supported by two other policemen. "Don't speak; rest quietly; everj'- thing is all right now," said a voice which I afterward knew to be that of the consul. Then I passed into unconsciousness again, and it was many days before I remembered anything more. It may have ljgen. a fortnight later that I c s w to myeelf re * pleaasecret. "It ls a well-known fact in phjTslology that In the dark the retina of some animals displays a pigment called 'visual purple.' If, for instance, a frog is killed in tbe dark and the eye after death is exposed to an object in the light, the image of this object becomes stamped on the retina, and can be fixed there by a solution of alum. Proceeding on this basis I have further discovered that by fixing my own gaze for a lei^thened time on an object and then going Into a dark room and gazing at an exposed photographic plate, the object I have been looking at appears on ;the negative when developed. Then I concluded that even thought Itself could be thus photographed. This is what really takes place. Subjective Impressions of thought cause molecular changes in the cells of the brain. Why, then, may these not also be capable of decomposing this 4viBual purple.' arid then giving a distinct impression on a negative when exposed sufficiently long to its influence? I have made experiments and discovered that such is the case. In dreams especially this Impression becomes terribly vivid. No more fascinating problem has ever'absorbed a scientist. Ought not ray victim congratulate himself on suffering in such a vast cause? Night after night I fasten back his eyelids with specula, and as he sleeps his eyes are wide open, staring at an exposed plate for many hours in the dark. This plate ls destined to receive the impressions made by his drjeam. Night after night I make different experiments. These can be easily done by giving my victim certain drugs, such as cocaine, Indian hemp, opium and others. The action of these drugs causes extraordinary dreams. This is my secret. During the daytime I am merciful. I feed my patient well; he is not likely to die, although there Is a possibility that he may become insane through the sufferings undergone [ p|Qf£ pftDQlES OF by his nervous system.

Dr. Chance had been sentenced to Siberia for his crimes. The whole city was talking of the horror which had been discovered in the Blue Laboratory. "Your letter came just In time," Bald Mrs. Seymour, the consul's wife, who for some reason had taken a great fancy to me and insisted ,upon my remaining with her until I recovered. "My husband acted on it immediately; he went to see the ambassador, who gave him a note to the prefect of police, Michael Danevitch. It was Danevitch himself who seized Dr. Chance as he was making a break for liberty when he heard tho approaching footsteps of tho officers." When T grew stronger T lost no time In returning to my tyattve land, and I have no intention of_ ever leaving It again. I did not see Olga and Maroussa before I left St. Petersburg, and have no idea what became of them and their mother.

I promised, went straight to my own room and wrote as follows to the British consul: Chance House, Ligovka Canal. Sir: I urgently implore your assistance. I have discovered t^at an Englishman is imprisoned in an underground cellar in this house, and put t o torture. I am an American girt residing here as governess. I want to rescue this man, but must have assistance. Dr. Chance leaves St. Petersburg .at eight o'clock this evening. A t nine o'clock sharp I shall be in the large laboratory in the garden, known by the name of tbe Blue Laboratory. I will give one of the servants directions to bring you there straight, if down by a spring and was only capable cf being opened from the top. As the door flew open I saw steps underneath. I had provided myself with a candle and matches. I lighted the candle and went cautiously down the steps, of which there were eight. Reaching the bottom, I noticed a smalt button in the wall, pressed it, and a email incandescent globe shone out beside tne. I saw that I was in a large underground chamber, the arches of its groined roof receding away Into total darkness, A faint groan fell on my ears, and I directed my steps to the spot the sound came from. At last I almost stumbled over the object of my search. A man, tightly bound, lay upon the floor. His eyes stared a t me, his face was as yellow and cadaverous as that of a corpse. His hands and feet were seyou will be kind enough to come to ! curely tied. His lips moved, but no my aid. Do not fail me, for both the Englishman and I are likely to be in extreme danger. - Yours faithfully, M A D E L I N E RENNICK. Having-addressed the letter, I wrapped myself in my furs and went out.

I bent forward to raise his head, when something touched my shoulder, and I turned to see Dr. Chance gazing at me with a mocking smile on his thin lips. "Miss Rennick," he said, complayou like to see some of the developed photographs?" "No," I screamed. "You are a devil In human shape; I will not listen to any more." Dr. Chance came close to me. "Women are hypersensitive," he said. '•'You wished to know. I warned you that the secret was fraught with terror. I had hoped that you would rise above this horror, hut I see that you 'are distinctly human. Well, it would interfere vastly with my experiments were you to proclaim my secret to anyone else.. Women, even the best of them, are not, to be trusted with such important matters, I have no intention of having tbe great dream of my life destroyed by the caprice of a girl. I propose, therefore, having imparted to you my secret, to seal it forever on your lips by death. In five minutes you will die." "Five minutes/' I repeated, mechanically. A small clock standing on a bench by my side showed me that In five minutes more it would be nine o'clock, the hour when the consul should arrive.- "You are really a most interesting study, Miss Rennick," continued the doctor. "It is a sad pity that you cannot devote your life to -the science you might greatly benefit. Give me your hand. I want to walk around this dungeon with you." He stretched out his hand and took mine. I did not refuse to walk with him. He took me from end to end of the dismal place. The little clock suddenly sounded nine strokes in a silvery chime. "Your time Is up," said the doctor. He turned and then walked quickly across the room, still holding my hand. I strained my ears to listen, but^here was no sound; the consul must have failed me, I was standing exactly under the dome in a glass roof. I had just put out my foot to ascend the stairs, when a sudden noise, startled me. Before I could move a huge bellshaped glass had descended completely around me, and sunk into a circular groove on the stone flags at my feet Dr. Chance waa looking at me from outside the wall of glass and grinning with an expression of fiendish triumph. He turned and pressed a lever beside the wall. There was a loud thumping as of a piston working to Ifugaoa, a Primitive People, Have Built Extension Terraces That Are Well Irrigated. Today a tribe in the Philippines, no farther advanced than the Igorrotes, some of whom have been seen in this country, ean show the adventurous traveler in the interior of Luzon some schemes in terrace construction and teats in irrigation that compare creditably with the best exhibits the United States reclamation service is capable of making. Considering the total ignorance of modern machinery, the total ignorance of modern methods, prevailing among the Tfugaos, t'^ere is, of course, no comparison between the ingenuity and the workmanship of these denizens o f the mountains and trained Caucasians. The terraces lie along the side of a steep canyon between the native settlements of Quiangan and Banaue in Nueva Viscaye province. They rise like giant steps up the steep ascents to the height of 1,200 feet or more, extending probably into a secondary range of hills, making the extension almost, 3,000 feet. Each paddy, or terrace plain, or plateau, varies from eipht to forty feet In width and is approximately 300 feet long, following the contour of the canyon. These shelves are flooded with water in the spring before the rice planting. The retaining wall of each terrace is built to about fifteen inches above the water level. At the point where the paddy meets the canyon side the retain* ing wall of the terrace next above f | | begins, so that the canon, no matter | ^ how steep, presents an unbroken sue- g | cession of terraces,, which at one S-| periojd of the year bears a striking res«miblance to tiers of reservoirs, at another season to tiers of hanging Z/$: gardens. The Irrigation, of these shelves, with works extending in one instance for a distance of twelve miles, is brought about by the deflec- ^ tion of mountain streams.

A report dealing with the coal- resources of Canada has been issued by the Dominion Department of Mines. The estimates given are only based on Wna>-is known, i n the western and northern regions, which have been little explored, t h e r ^ & a y be vaslt deposits of which nothing whatever J s Ipiown at present. T&a.offici&ls pi the department estimate that of bitatnindua coal there is in Canada 7.?¼ bljlipn tons; of .anthracite 461 i l l - lion tons; sub-bituminous and lignite ^ver IQQ.bUllon tons. The quantity - «p| coal now annually mined in Canada l i l ^ b o u t 12 million tons. With an es- ^^ttpated quantity of unmixed good coal, 3|||p74 billion tons, it would require years to exhaust the supply. If the inferior grades were included, supply would last for 14,575 years. Of course the coal demands of Canada "will keep on increasing, but it will be a good many years before the quantity M Canadian coal mined will equal present output of the United States mines. Tfceir annual output is about ©00,000,000* tons. At that . rate lt Would take only 145 years to exhaust the estimated Canadian supply of good coal, and about 350 years to get *6 the end of the total supply.

The prospects this year from an agricultural, standpoint are exceedingly bright, and, relieved of untoward conditions, the farmer is already counting his bank roll, planning for more extensive operations for next year, and figuring on paying out for his farm. He is calculating what the increased value of his holdings, as a result of a successful crop, will add to his assets. Already some fields of wheat have been harvested, barley has been cut, and the yield is above his expectation. In fact, the feeling at the time of writing is tbat never in the history of any country on the continent has there been such a prospect of a large average crop, all over the three central &UPT.

The Dairy Helps the Farmer In Western Canada. lielng an estimate of the immigration Irom .the United States for 1912, the consumption of coal will naturally Increase. The agricultural districts of Canada 'hav^e now become so well known throughout the world, and the vacant ;area of splendid land is still so great that |t may be expected that the numbers mentioned will increase from year to year, and it will not be many year$ before the immigration figures . will reach the million mark. ^ rM may be asked what is there to warrant this large immigration? With millions of acres of land, capable of producing twenty-five to forty bushels of wheat to the acre; or, if in oats, irom forty to ninety, and even as high .as a hundred bushels per acre, or the «ame splendid yields of flax or barley, there is ample Inducement to attract these hundreds of thousands who .are filling the present agricultural settlements and pushing forward into the newer settlements year by year, and -leave room still for the hundreds of thousands who will follow. There re- 4 mains not only the agricultural wealth of the country, but there are also the social advantages, the home-making privileges, apart altogether from the financial opportunities, there is the life and £he energy born from the knowledge that the settler is more than a l i m i t "in. the upbuilding, in the making l^o* a "country that will soon • rank amphgist the first in:the nations of world.

There is, as has been said, a vast area of the country still open for settlement and homesteading lying in the center north. Speaking of this gart a writer, who made the trip when the crop was in its green stage, said: "Just no -.v., the whole country is a beautiful s'^ht, aa-it presents itself in full dress of living green, varied in shade, many places elegantly fringed and interspersed with pleat ing s of shrubbery and patches of sweet scented flowers in. rose, yellow, white, pink, scarlet, cardinal and purple. In traveling over the virgin soil, I have seen some of the most charming rolling prairies, sloping hills, deep ravines, mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields, and natural parks that one could wish to behold, and all placed there without the aid of man. The land in general is heavily matted with grass, mixed with vetches and pea vibes, nearly up t6 the knee, and many millions of acres of which are going to waste while beef, pork and mutton are soar* iUg at prices heretofore unknown. The comparatively small acreage under cultivation reminds one of a few small garden patches. "When we consider the estimated crop ot 300,000,000 bushels of wheat for 1912, to be produced on these western prairies from these garden patches, some faint idea can be formed by an imaginative mind as to the immense possibilities and rich heritage of a glorious western Canada," i. | The estimate of the wheat crop, as made by the writer quoted, Is excessive, but with even 250 milliqn bushels* there will be a great deal of satisfaction on the part of the settlers.

Wright. The legislature of 1911 gave to the superintendent the power of definitely outlining the course of study which must be followed ": in every district school in the state. Heretofore" the course of study was optional with each district board, the superintendent's power ibejng onlJJ advisory. Mr. Wright tak*> advantage of the opportunity given him by the new law and will require a course of agriculture to be introduced in every district school. On account of the lack of preparation in this subject on the p a n of teachers, Supt. Wright only requires one-half year of intensive studyy With a text book, this to be given iu the eighth grade. In addition to this intensive study, a . course i n nature study, beginning with the third grade and advancing through school and h o m e gardening, crop planting and allied subjects is recommended as niost desirable supplementary work.' First Step in Wide Reform. The prescribed course in agriculture is simply the first step toward reforming the rural schools in the state and making them reiiect1 the fife which surrounds t&em rather ifhao weakly imitating' the city school. Supt. Wright is earnestly advocating the ruralizing; of the country schools; *hat is, giving the fiwy* -and girls qf the fanning distrittts an Insight i'ato the problems which; are in close relation to tfceir lives, arousing an interest itt scientific'agriculture, malting the&r trainv ing not only of cultural but oft practical1 value as well.

The menace of flies and mosquitoes and other similar questions of hygiene and sanitation will supersede the technical physiology which has been taught in the country schools. Teach Correct Speaking. Reading in the new course ot^tudy. is emphasized as probably the most important subject ir the schools. Teachers are instructed to train the* chidrren to" read for the thought rather thaii for expression, so silent rather than aloud reading is recommended. The .plan is for the^ child to read silently from the printed-page, close his'book 'and then stand before the Class and tell what he has read. In this way the child not only learns to ,^ead quickly and for tbethought,but he acquires the desirable ability to stand on his feet, face other people and use the English language. He learns to speak correctly, as criticism is an important part of the work. The idea is that Ambits of »correct speech are infinitely more valuable to the boy or girl than a knowledge of rules of grammar. • . . - ' | „ * • - J.

The stranger, his business concluded, swung about on his heel and Quitted the office. Mr. Saul, bending above his desk, was making an entry in one of his ledgers. The judge shuffled to his side. "Who was that man?" he asked thickly, resting a shaking hand on the clerk's arm. "That?—Oh, that was Colonel Fentress 1 was just telling you about/' 'Has he alwaya lived here?" 'No; he came into the county ebon* ten years ago,, and bought a place Called The Oaks." "Has he—a family?" The Judge appeared to bo having difficulty wttih his speech. "Not that anybody knows of.

The judge nodded. j;*Tve met him." he said briefly. -•Acting on a sudden 'impulse, the Judge muttered something about returning later, and hastily quitted Tthe office.

This he opened, and Mahaffy and Hannibal Saw that it held a handsome pair of dueling pistols. "Where did you get 'em, Judge?— Ob, ain't they beautiful!" cried Cannibal, circling about the table in his excitement. "My dear lad; they were purchased only a few hours ago," said the judge Quietly, as he began to load them. •>'• • • • • 9 9 9' 9 Norton had ridden down to Belie Plain ostensibly to view certain of those improvements that went sq far tpward-Temhittering *Tom;'Ware'i existence. 4 ^ • - •*' v - ^ D d ^ o u ^ i n k Belle Plain is ever going t6 look as it did, Charley?—as we remember it when we were children?" asked Betty. v«Wby of course, it is, dear, you are Njl^^AW<«lderSl? \ . \Ware- stalked toward them.

"We>want your word that you'll keep away from Belle Plain." "Well, you won't get It!" responde d Norton. ., In the same instant one of the men raised his fist and struck the young planter in the back of the neck. "You cur!" cried Norton, as he wheeled on him. '•Damn him—let him have it!" • 9 , . 9 . 9 9 9 9. It was mid-afternoon of the day following before Betty heard of the attack on Norton, She ordered her horse saddled and was soon out on the river road with a groom in her wake. Betty never drew rein until she reached Thicket Point. As she galloped into the^ard Bruce Carrington came from the house. "How is Mr. Norton?" she asked, extending her hand. "The doctor says he'll be up and about Inside of a week. If you'll wait I'll .tell him you are here." Carrington passed on into the house. He entered the room where Norton lay. "Miss Malroy Is here," he said. "Betty?—bless her dear heart!" cried Charley weakly. "Just toss my clothes Into the closet and draw up a chair. . . , There—thank ypu, Bruce—let her come along In now." And as Carrington quitted the room, Norton drew himself up on the pillows and faced the door. "This is worth several beatings, Betty!" he exclaimed as she appeared. Be bent to kiss the hand she gave him, but groaned with the exertion. Tnen he looked up Into feer face and saw her eyes swimming with tears. "What—tears?" and he was much moved. "It's a perfect etatrageT^\ Betty paused irresolutely. "Charley—" •'Yes, dear?" "Can't you be haprpy without me?" "No." "But you don't try to be!" "No use in my making any sued foolish'effort, I'd be doomed to failure. 'Good-by, Chsrley—i really must go— 11 lie looked up yearningly into tier face, and yielding to a sudden impulse, she stooped and kissed him on the forehead, then she tied from the room. C H A P T E R * V . At the Church Door. Tom found Betty at supper. "You were over to see Norton, weren't you, ©et? How did you Und him?" "The doctor says he will soon be about again." "Betty, I wish you wouldn't go there again—that's a good $lri'!" he said tactfully, and A S he conceived it, affectionately. Betty glanced up quickly. "Why, Tom, why shouldn't 1 go there?" "It might set people gossiping. 1 reckon there's been pretty near enough talk about you and Charley Norton." The planter's tone was conciliatory in the .extreme, he dared not risk a break 4>y any open show or authority. "You needn't distress yourself, Tom. I don't know that I shall go there again," said Betty .indifferently. At Thicket Point ^Charley Norton, •greatly excited, babbled into the l i - brary in search <nf Carrington. He found him reading toy the ope© window. "(Look here, firueei" fce cried. "It'* settled; she's going ito marry me! CaasiU gtou wish me tor?" Carrington held out his hand. "You are not going «0 take any risks stow, you have too much to live for," fee said haltingly. "No, I'm to keep away from Belle Plain," said Norton happily. "She insists on that. Everything is to tie kept a secret until we are actually married; It's Jier wish—" "It's to be soon, then?" Carrington asked, still haltingly. "Very soon." here was a brief silence. CarrlhHFeed a e , * i § ^ Malroy a * l l f ^ "What am I to do without you?"— his voice was almost a whisper* "What ls this thing you have d b n e f Betty's heart was beating with dull sickening throbs. "If you had only come!" she moaned. "Now I ain going to be married tomorrow, I am to meet him at the Spring $ank church at ten o'clock." "How can I give you up?" he said, his voice hoarse with emotion. He put her from him almost roughly, and leaning against the trunk of a tree buried his face in his hands. Betty watched him for a moment In wretched silence. "It's good-by—" he muttered. She went to him, and, as he bent above her, slipped her arms about his neck. "Kiss me—" she breathed'. He kissed her hair, her soft cheek, then their lips met. m a e a e e • 9 Another hot September ^ sun was beating upon the earth as Betty galloped down the lane and swung her horse's head in the direction of Raleigh. ' She would keep her promise to Charley and he should never know what his happiness had cost her. Norton joined her before she had covered a third of the distance that separated the two plantations. "We are to go to the church. Mr. Bowen will be there; I arranged with him last night; he will drive over with his wife and daughter, who will be our witnesses, dear." • * . • 9 , 9 9 - 9 9 Afterward' Betty could remember standing before the church in the fierce morning light; she heard Mr. Bo weft's voice, she heard Charley's voice, she heard another voice—ber own, though she scarcely recognized it. "I'll tie* the horses, Betty," Bald Norton. He had reached the edge of the <oaks when from the silent depths of the denser woods came the sharp report of a rifle. The shock of the bullet sent the young fellow staggering back»•* among the mossy and myrtle1 • covered graves. For a moment no one grasped what had happened, only there was Norton who seemed to grope strangely among the graves. He had fallen now. Even as the shadows deepened h® was aware that Betty was coming swiftly toward him. "I'm shot—" he said, speaking with difficulty. For two or three days bands of armed man scoured the woods and roads, "and then this activity quite unproductive of any tangible results ceased, matters were allowed to rest with tho constituted authorities, namely Mr. Betts, the sheriff, and his deputies. No private citizen had shown greater zeal than Judge Slocum Price. One morning he found under his door a folded paper: "You talk too much. Shut up, or you'll go where Norton went." A few moments later he burst In on Mr. Saul. "Glance at that, my friend!" he cried, as he tossed the paper on the clerk's desk. "What do you make of it, sir?" , "Well, I'd keep still." The judge laughed derisively as he bowed himself out. He established himself in his office. He had scarcely done so when Mr: Betts knocked at the door. The sheriff came direct from Mr. Saul and arrived out of .breath, but the letter was n6t mentioned by the Judge. He spoke of the crops, the chance of rain, and the Intricacies of county politics. The sheriff withdrew mystified, wondering why it was he had not felt at liberty tp broach the subject which was uppermost in his mind. tfis place was taken by Mr. Pegloe and on the heels of the tavern-keeper came Mr. Bowen. Judge Price received them with condescension, but back of the condescension was an air of reserve that did not invite questions. The judge discussed the extension of the national roads with Mr. Pegloe, and the religion of the Persian fire-worshipers with Mr. Bowen; he permited never a pause and they retired as the sheriff had done* without sight of the letter. The judge's office became a perfect Mecca for the idle and the curious, and while he overflowed with high-bred courtesy he had never seemed so unapproachable—never so remote from matters of local and contemporary interest. "Why don't you show 'em the letter?" demanded Mr. Mahaffy, when they were alone. "Can't you see they are suffering for a sight of it?" "All in good time, Solomon." He became thoughtful. "Solomon, I am thinking of offering a reward for any information that will lead to the discovery of my anonymous correspondent," he at length observed with a finely casual air, as if the idea had "Charley—Charley J" She Moaned. ly—Charley—", she moaned, inns abouj to her bi and just occurred to him, and had not been seething in his brain a l l day.

The State Fair management has arranged with the company who put on the fireworks at Oadillaqua before hundreds of thousands of delighted people, to put oh at the State 'Fair a -series of displays rivalling Cadillaqua in beauty and splendor. One of the main attractions will be the fireworks for the main piece showing the Fall of Old Mexico, an apt subject just at this time. The Castle of Chahultepec, where Pres. Diaz had his headquarter*, is shown on its lofty mountain side location as is also Popecatapel, the mighty volcano that is plainly apparent from the city of Mexico. Another feature display will be the battle among tbe skies, showing a glimpse Into the future. In this great spectacle will be seen the struggle of airships for mastery in the air and the picture is very realistic. Thousands of dollars will be the expense of these splendid features at the state fair. "Farmer Bill" Endicott of Ind,, has entered:for the automobile races at the state fair. "Farmer Bill" is a farmer in reality and ffhen not travelling at a lightning speed in his automobile, is busy on his farm down in Indiana where he raises everything worth while. _ His success on the farm and success on the road and track has brought Mr. Endicott a great deal of money and incidentally a great deal of fame. His latest achievement was travelling 100 miles in just 96 minutes at Old Orchard, Maine. He has competed with honors in great races including the 500 mile race at Indianapolis. Wilt MA2IOM.

PROGRESSIVE TICKET. For President: THEODORE ,ROOSEVELT. For Vice-President: HIRAM W. JOHNSON. Chicago, Aug. S.^Theodpre, flopsevelt and Hiram W. Johnson were unanimously selected as the standard bearers of the new Progressive party amid scenes of the wildest enthusiasm ever witnessed in a political convention. Both candidates appeared • before the convention and accepted the nominations in brief speeches that were received with deafening applause. In keeping with its record as the singing convention, the first national gathering of the Progressive Tpar-ty wound up with the singing of the doxology. Prendergast Names Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt's name as the first candidate for president of the Progressive party was presented to the convention by William A. Brendergast of New York. As Mr. Prendergast concluded ,his nominating speech with the words, "I present you America's greatest statesman and lion-hearted citizen, Theodore Roosevelt," the convention —audience and delegates — again transported themselves into a frenzy of delight The demonstration that followed was in all respects similar to that which had followed the appearance ot the colonel ln the same hall twenty-four hours before, only yesterday's demonstration was even more wildly enthusiastic, more frenzied, more noisy than the former one. Seconding Speeches Made. The uproar continued for 45 minutes. When order finally was restored by Chairman Beveridge, Judge Ben B. Lindsey began the first of the seconding speeches. His speech, too, evoked a demonstration, as did the others all the Way down the line. , ^ane Addams of Hull house followed him and. she was given an ovation such as never before has been given to a woman. Other seconding speeches were made by A T. Hamilton, Georgia; Horatio King, New York; Col. T^ P. Lloyd of Florida, a Confederate veteran, who had lost an arm in the Civil war; John M . McDowell and Lucius F . C. Garvin. , » Johnson U Chosen. After the nomination by acclamation the vice-presidency was taken up and Governor Johnson of California .was unanimously chosen. John M . Parker of Louisiana presented the name of Governor Johnson in a speech that was wildly cheered. Seconding speeches were made by a number of delegates. The platform presented by the resolutions committee was unanimously adopted. ,,' i , ; \ The temporary organization of the convention was made permanent when the convention met at noon yesterday and Chairman Beveridge was given^ an ovation when he briofty expressed ait topreciaUon'of the honor. Demonstration for Colonel. Before a vast audience of riotous, enthusiastic followers Colonel Roosevelt Tuesday presented nis new political creed. It was an epoch-making speech, marking a new era ln the political, and perhaps the economical, history of the country. The scemes attending" the arrival and reception of Colonel Roosevelt at the Coliseum were of remarkable interest. Seemingly everyone, knew that the occasion was historical. It was a personal greeting such as haB been given to few men in public assemblies. For one hour the demonstration continued. It began with a long, western veil, and dropped into a steady eastern roar, wjiich continued* interspersed with songs, parades, state cheers and parodies on hymns for the better part of the hour. A more colorful, scene has been rarely witnessed. The great hall was a sea of waving bandanna handkerchiefs. Roosevelt, himself, had one almost as big as a tablecloth, which he shook ln recognition of the cheers. The building was crowded. Is Real Pleased. Far from showing displeasure, or trying to stop the noise, the colonel was aadeiighted as a football hero:in a college game. He waved to every corner of the hall, and his- teeth gleamed in a pleased recognition ofv the ovation. { The cheering started at 1 2 ; a n d at 1 o'clock it was still too loud'to'allow -the business to proceed. Instead^ a march of the states began, ; Ohio, New York, Missouri and Pennsylvania, in the order named, starred a march to the platform with their state banners and markers. Other states fell into line and it seemed something must give way the way Jhey crowded and surged about the very front of the speaker's,stand. Ari-, zona, Montana, Iowa and Georgia weW in the front and Delaware, Virginia and Colorado were crowding them. The band at the 'back of the hall strove to play. Perhaps it did. The snare drummer had a revolver and he could be seen shooting from time to time. But the other efforts of the band that came in with the Roosevelt parade were lost. They worked and worked, but it did not do any good. It was all lost *in a volume of shouts. While the demonstration was at; its height a woman, borne on the shoulders of two stalwart delegates, was taken past the press stand and. in front of the speakers' stand. The* woman was Mrs. Ferdinand White of Chicago. She wore a long yellow 'Totes for Wonjen" streamer pinned across the bosom of her white dress. She smiled and scented happy, and as she was carried past the speakers' stand she looked into the face of the former president and screamed, "Teddy! Teddy!" The Eighteenth Pennsylvania district carried a big ring wrapped in a flag-and there was a real Rough Rider hat suspended in It - As the cheering eased up the colonel drew one of the red bandannas from his own, pocket and waved i t The crowd, could make no more noise, but it could wave more handkerchiefs and it did.. When the demonstration had lasted 15 minutes the crowd began singing "John Brown." For a little while the roiling clamor of the song nearly drowned out the cheering. But not quite. The crowd had to give way to a stored-up enthusiasm that was too great for music and th spite of the rhythmical swing of the music there was a staccato of handclapping and a t booming accompaniment of cheers. As the singing died down, t h o ^ W e Want Teddy'? yell, the key of the long demon s^ratipgjor Roosevelt at the Republican convention, broke forth and kept up in all parts of the building. It beat in ^/increasing volume and regular rhythm against a background of other sounds that seemed to make itjmore distinct Miss Jane Aadams, Illinois delegate at large, was liftecTto the speaKera* stand. As she appeared there w a / a renewed burst of cheers and^ Roosevelt :-stepped from the -'-moose penV—Jni which he had been standing. ;and strode forth to meet her. ;,,yf F o r 2 5 minutes the shouting ;hac|ndured.

The noise came nack. A few delegates took the. standVi They were greeted with a handshake and a smile. The women in ^the3'delegation were led to the stand. All the women with the CaUfornia delegation went to the stand. It was a signal for more cheers. At last the colonel began to speak, and the audience settled.back wltU; breathless interest The speech was followed with cloed attention and was frequently interrupted with outbursts of cheering. ,. New Party Launched. ; r ; • The national Progressive party wasfv launched in the Coliseum here Mon* day when the followers of Colonel, Roosevelt held their first national con* vention.

Entering the main room, he led her gently to one of tbe chairs near the table and immediately thereafter lighted the fire which he had taken the precaution to lay before his departure. It had been dark in the cabin, but the Are soon filled it with glorious light She watched him at his task and as tie rose from the hearth questioned him: "Now tell me/' she began, "you found—" "First your supper, and then the atory," he answered, turning toward the door of the other room. "No," pleaded the girl, "can't you see that nothing ls of any Importance to me but the story? Did you find the camp?" . "I found the place where it had been." * "Where it had been!" "There wasn't a single vestige of it left. That whole pocket, I knew it well, had been swept clean by the flood." "But Klrkby, and Mrs. Maitland and—" "They weren't there." "Did you search for them?" "Certainly." "Bat they can't have been drowned," ahe exclaimed piteousiy. "Of course not," he began reassuringly. "Kirkby is a veteran of these mountains and—" "But dp you know him?" queried the girl in g*eat surprise. "I did once," said the man, flushing darkly at his admission. "I haven't seen him for five years." So that was the measure Of his Isolation, thought the woman, keen for the slightest evidence as to her companion's history, of which, by the way, he meant to tell her nothing. "Well?" she asked, breaking the pause. "Kirkby would" certainly see the cloud burst coming and he would take the people with him in the camp up on the hogback near it. It is far above the flood line; they would be quite safe there." "And did you look for them there?" "I did. The trail had been washed out, but I scrambled up and found undisputed evidence that my surmise was correct. I haven't a doubt that all who were in the camp were saved." "Thank God for that,'7 said the girl, greatly relieved and comforted by his reassuring words. "And Robert Maitland and the rest on the mountain, what do you t h i i k of them?" "I am sure that they must have escaped, jtoo. I don't think any of them have suffered more than a thorough drenching i n the downpour and that the^ are a l l safe and perhaps on their way to the settlements now." "But'tBey wouldn't go hack ,wftnout searching for- me, would theyf" cried the g i f t - * "Certainly not t suppose they" are searching l o r you now/' ,jr$tysll then—" ^ a i t , " said *the laan. "Youstarted down the canon, you told everybody you/were going that-way. They naturally searched in that direction, Ihey hacTht the faintest idea that you were going up the river. "No," admitted Enid, "that Is true. I did not tell anyone. I didn't dream tf fcoing up the canon when I started Out i n the morning, it waa the result ef a sudden inrpulse." ( ^ ' " "God bless that—" burst out the msm, and then he checked himself, flulhing again darkly. What had be been about to say? The question flashed across his ow*n mlttd and into the woman's mind at the.*'gaine^tlme' when she, heard the Incompleted sentence; but she, too, checked the question that rose to her lips* " T h i i i e the * why f ftguref i t * continned the man hurriedly to cover up b i s . m m % A A " t t e * : t h e m - selves alone in these mountains, which, save for me, they are; they be- Heve you to bate goat down the oan- »«1 it i on. Kirkby with Mrs. Maitland and the others waited on the ridge until Mr, "Maitland and his party joined them. They couldn't have saved very much to eat or wear from the camp, they were miles from a settlement; they probably divided into two parties, the larger with the woman and children, started for home, the second went down the canon searching for your dead body!" "And had it not been for you," cried the girl, impulsively, "they had found it." "God permitted me to be of service to you," answered the man, simply. "I can follow their speculations exactly; up or down, they believed you to have been in the canon when the cloud burst, therefore there was only one place and one direction to search for you." 1 "And that was?" "Down the*canon?" "'What did you do then?" "I went down the canon: myself. I think I saw evidence that some one had preceded me, too." Did ydu overtake them?" Certainly not, they traveled as , rapldl^ as I; they must have started early in the morning and they had several hours the advantage of me." "But they must have stopped somewhere for the night and—" "Yes/' answered the man; "if I had only myself to consider, I should have pressed on through the night and overtaken «them when they camped." "Only yourself?" "You made me promise to return here by nightfall. I don't know whether I should tiave. obeyed you or not. I kept on as long as I dared and still leave myself time to get back to you by dark." She had no idea of the desperate speed he had made to reach her while it was still daylight. "If you hadn't come when you did, I should have died," cried the girl impetuously. "You did perfectly right. I don't think I am a coward; I hope not. I never was afraid before, but—" "pon't apologize or explain to me, it's not necessary; I understand everything you feel. It was only because I had given you my word to be back by sunset that I left off following their trail. I was afraid that you might think me deid or that something had happened aind—" "I should, I did," admitted the girl. "It wasn't so bad during the day time, but when the sun went down and you did not come I began to imagine everything. I saw myself left alone here in these mountains, helpless, wounded, wltnotit a human being to speak to. I could not bear it." "But I have been here alone for five years," said the man grimly. "That's different. Ijdon't know why you have chosen solitude, but I—" "You are a woman," returned the other gently, "and you have suffered, that accounts for everything." "Thank you," said Enid, gratefully. "And I am so glad you came back to me. "Back to you," reiterated the man, and then he stopped. If he had allowed his heart to speak he would have said, Back to you from the very ends of the world. "But I want you to believe that I honestly did not leave the trail until the ultimate moment," he added. "I do beUeve It;" she'extended her hand to him. "You have been very good to me, I trust you absolutely." And for the second time he took that graceful, dainty, aristocratic hand in his own larger, stronger, firmer grasp. His face flushed again; under other circumstances and in other days perhaps he might have kissed that hand. As it was he only held it for a moment and then gently released i t "And you think they are searching' for me?" she asked. "I know i t I am sure of what I myself would do for one I love—I loved, I mean, and they—" "And they will find met" The man shook his head. "I am afraid they will be convinced that you have gone down with the flood. Didn't you have a cap or—" "Yes," said the woman, "and a sweater. The bear you shot covered the sweater with blood, I could not put it on again." , > As she spoke she flushed a glorious crimson at the remembrance of that meeting, but the man waa looking away with studied care. She thanked him in her heart for such generous and kindly consideration.' < "They will have gone down the stream with the rest, and it's Just possible that, the fearchers may find them, the body of the bear, too. This river ends in a deep mountain lake and I think it is going to snow; it will oe frozen hard tomorrow." "And they will think me—there?"* *I am afraid so." "And they wont come, up here?" at the dire possibility that ihe might not be found. "I took aa empty bottle With me," said the man, breaking the silence, "in which I had enclosed a paper saying that ydu were here and safe, save for your wounded foot, and giving direction how to reach the place. I built a cairn of rocks In a sheltered nook in the valley where your camp had been pitched and left the tightly corked bottle wedged on top of it. If they return toThe camp they cduld.scarcely fail to see i t " ' "But If they don't go back there." "Well, it was just a chance." "And if they don't find toe?" "You will have to stay here for a. while; until your foot gets well enough to travel, anyway," returned the man, evasively. "But winter ls coming on; you said the lake would,freeze tonight and if it snows?" * "It will snow." The woman stared at him "appalled. "And in that case—" "I am afraid," was the slow reply, "that you will h%ve to stay here." He hesitated in the face of her white, still face—"all winter/' he added, desperately. "My God," exclaimed the girl, "alone, with you?" "Miss Maitland," said the-man, resolutely, "I might as well tell you the truth. I can make my way to the settlements now or later, but It will be a journey of perhaps a week. There will be no danger to me, but you will have to stay here. You could not go with me. If I am any judge you couldn't possibly use your foot for a mountain Journey for at least three weeks, and by that time we shall be snowed in smiled faintly as she used the old word of tropic island ?and southern sea—"together. You have shown me that you are a man and a gentleman. In God and you I put my trust When my foot gets well, if you can teach me to walk on snow shoes and it is possible to get through' the passes, we will, try to get back; if not, we must walt/^ "The decision is yours," said the man, "and yet T feel that I ought to point out to you how—" "I see all that you see," she interrupted. "I know what is in your mind. It is entirely clear to me. We can do nothing else." "So be i t You need have no apprehension as to your materia4! comfort; I have lived in these mountains for a long time. I am prepared for anifc> emergency. I pass my time in the summer getting ready for the winter. There is a cave, or recess rather, behind the house which, as you see, is built against the rock watt, and it is filled With wood enough to keep us warm for two or three winters; I have an ample supply * of provision and clothing for my own needs. You will need something warmer than that you wear," he continued. "Have you needle, thread and cloth?" she asked. "Everything," was the prompt answer. "Then I shall not suffer/' "Are you that wonder of wonders," asked the man, smiling lightly, "an educated woman who knows how to sew?" "It is a tradition in Philadelphia," "And Who Is James Armstrong?" as effectuaUy aa if we were within the arctic circle* But if ^ou will let me go alone to the. settlement I can bring back your uncle, a woman to keep you company, before the trails are impassible. O r enough men to make it practicable to take you through the canons and down the trails to your home again. I could not do that alone even if you were well, in the depth of winter." v The girl shook her head stubbornly. " A week alone in these mountains * answered the girl, "that her daughters should be expert needlewomen/' "Oh, you are from Philadelphia." "Yes, and you?" * She threw the question at him so deftly and'so quickly that she caught bin* unaware and off his guard a second time within the hour. "Baltimore," he answered before he thought, and then bit his lip. He had determined to vouchsafe her no information regarding himself, and here she had surprised him into an admission sively. "It isn't to be thought of." "It must be thought of," urged the man. "You don't understands It is either that or spend the. winter here with me." The woman looked at him steadily. "And what bave 1 to fear from you?" she asked. * , "Nothing, nothing, as Qod is my witness/' protested the other; "but the world?*: "The world," said the woman reflectively. . "I don't mean to say that it means nothing to me, but it hat cause efip^b tbr what it would fator say now/* She came to her decision swiftly. "There is no help for i t / ' she oeoiiaued, "wo are maroon#4"~afe# and I should be mad." she said deci- f in the first blush of their acquaintance, and she knew that she had triumphed for she smiled in recognition of it. She tried another tack. "Mr. Newbold," she began at a venture, and as it was five years since he had heard that name, his surprise at ber knowledge, which after all was very simple, betrayed him a third time. "We are like stories I have read,4 peopiewho have been cast away on desert Islands and—" "Yea," said the man, "but no castaways that I have ever read of bave been so bountifully provided with everything necessary to the comfort of life as we are. I told you I lacked nothing for your a r t e r i a l welfare, end even your mind need not stagnate." "I have looked at your books already," said the woman, answering his glance. ' This was where she had found his name, he realized. "You will have this room for your own use and I will take the other for mine," he continued. "I am loath to dispossess you." "I shall be quite comfortable there, and this shall be your room exclusively except when you bid me enter, as when I bring you your meals. I shall hold it inviolate." "But," said the woman, '"there must be an equal division of labor. I must do my share." "There isn't much to do in the winter except to take care of the burros, keep up the fire and prepare what we have to cat." "I am afraid I should be unequal to outdoor work, but in the rest I must do my part." He recognized at once that Idleness would be Irksome. "So you shall/' he assented heartily', "when your foot is well enough to make you an efficient member of our little society." "Thank you, and now—" "Is there anything else before I get supper?" "You think there is no hope of their searching for me here?"* The man shook his head. "If James Armstrong had been in the party." she said reflectively, "I am sure he would never have given up." "And who is James Armstrong, may I ask?" burst forth the other bluntly. "Why he—I—he is "a friend of my uncle and an—acquaintance of my own." "Oh," said the man Hhortly and gloomily, as he turned away. Elnid Maitland had been very brave In his presence, but when he went out she put her head down on her arms on the table and cried softly to herself. Was ever a woman in such a predicament, thrown into the arms of a man who had established every conceivable claim upon her gratitude, forced to live with him shut up in a two-room log cabin upon a lonely mountain range, surrounded by lofty and inaccessible peaks, pierced by terrific gorges soon to be impassable from the snows? She had read many stories of castaways, fr* m Charles Reade's famous "Foul Piay" down to more modern instances, but in those cases there had always been an island comparatively large over which to reign with privacy, seclusion, opportunity for withdrawal; bright heavens, balmy breezes, idyllic conditions. Here were two uplifted from the earth upon a sky-piercing mountain. They would have had more range of action and more liberty of motion if they had been upon a derelict in the ocean. And she realized at the same time that in aU those stories tho two castaways always loved each other. Would it be so with them? Was it so? And again the hot flame within outvied the fire of the hearth aa the blood rushed to the smooth surface of her cheek again. What would her father say if he could know her position, what would the world say, and above all what would Armstrong say. It cannot be denied that her thoughts were terribly and overwhelmingly dismayed, and yet that despair was not without a certain relief. No man had ever so interested her as this one. What was the mystery of his life, why was he there, what had he meant when he had blessed the idle impulse that had sent her into his arms? , ^ . . . . . , . / ^ ' Her heart throbbed again, febe lifted her face from her hands and dried her tears, a warm glow stole over ber and once again not altogether from the fire. Who and what was this man? Who was that woman whose picture he had taken from her? Well, she would have time to find out And meantime the world outside could think and do' what it pleased. She sat staring into the fire light, seeing pictures there, dreatning dream*. She was as lovely as an angel to the map,; when he came back into the room. C H A P T E R XIV. The Woman's Heart. That upper earth on which they lived was covered with a thick blanket of snow. The lakes and pools were frozen from shore to shore. The mountain brooks, if they flowed at all, ran under thick arches of ice. The deepest .canons were well -nigh impassible from huge drifts that sometimes almost rose level with the tops of the walls. In every sheltered spot great banks of white were massed. The spreading branchea of the tall pine trees in the valleys drooped under heavy burdens of snow. Only here and. there sharp gaunt peaks were swept clean by the fierce winter winds and thrust themselves upward in icy air, naked and bare. The cold was polar in its bitter Intensity. Tbe UUIe shelf or plateau jvttink out t r o a the mountain a l i a upon which tbe lonely cabin stood wa^ she«V tered from the prevailing wind's, but' tbe house itself was almost covered with the drifts: T n e * m i t a i | t fire roaring up the huge stone • ohlmney had melted some,of the snow at the top and it had run down the slanting roof and formed huge icicles on what had been the eaves of the house. The) man had cut away the drifts froga doors and windows for light and liberty. At first, every stormy nigh* would fill his laborious clearings with drifting snow, but, aa it became pack* ed down and frozen solid he was able to keep his various ways open without a great deal of, dUBculty, A little work every morning .and evening sufficed. ) Every day he had to go down tho mountain stairway to the bottom of the pocket to feed and water the burros. What was a quick and simple) task In milder, warmer seasons some* times took him a half a day under the present rigorous conditions. And the) woman never saw him Btart out i n the storm without a sinking heart and grave apprehension. On his return to the cabin half frozen, almost spent and exhausted, she ever welcomed him with eager gratitude and satisfaction which would shine lti her eyes, throb in her heart and tremble upon her lips, control it as she might And ho thought it was well worth all tbe trouble and hardships of his task to be so greeted when he came back to her. Winter had set in unusually early and with unprecedented severity. Any kind of winter in the mountains would have amazed the girl, but even the- man with his larger experience declared he had never before known such sharp «and sudden cold, or such deep and lasting snows. His daily records had never shown such low temperatures nor had his observation ever noted such wild and furious storms as raged then and there. It seemed as if Nature were In a conspiracy to seal up the mountains and all they contained, to make ingress and egress alike impossible. A month had elapsed and Enid's foot was now quite well. The man had managed to sew up her boot where the knife had cut it a n d ' a l - though the job was a clumsy one tho result was a usable shoe. It is astonishing the comfort she took when she first put it on and discarded for good the shapeless woolen stocking which had covered the clumsy bandage happily no longer necessary. A l - though the torn and bruised member had healed and she could use it with care, her foot was still very tender and capable of sustaining no violent or long continued strain. Of necessity she had been largely confined to tho house, but whenever it had been possible he had wrapped her in his great bear skin coat and had helped her out to the edge of the cliff for a breath of fresh air. Sometimes he would leave her there alone, would perhaps have left her alone—Uiere always had she not imperiously required his company. Insensibly she had acquired tbe habit— not a difficult one for a woman to fall into—of taking the lead in tho small affairs of their circumscribed existence, and. he had acquiesced i n her dominance without hesitation or remonstrance. It was she who or* dered their dally walk and conversation. Her wishes were consulted about everything; to be sure no great > range of 'choice waa allowed them, of liberty of action or freedom in tho constraints with which nature bound them, but whenever there was anjr selection she made it. The man yielded everything for her and yet he did it without in any way derogating from bis self-respect o r without surrendering his natural in* dependence. The woman instinctive* ly,realized that in any great crisis \n\>\ any large matter, tho determination of which would naturally effect t b e i r ' present or their future, their bappin» esa, welfare life, he would assert him* Bell, and his assertion would be un*> questioned and unquestionable by here7 There waa a delightful satisfaction to the woman In tbe whole situation* She had a woman's desire to lead l i r the smaller things in life, and yet' craved the woman's consciousness that in the great emergencies* she? would be led, in tbe great battles she would be fought for, i n the great dangers she would be protected, i n tho great perils she would be saved.1 ' There was rest, comfort, Joy and satisfaction in these thoughts.

When we were married we talked the financial matter over and decided that i f we were ever to come to an easy, comfortable old age we must begin to save at once. We decided to sacrifice a certain amount of social standing rather than economize on our table. We lived i n the city and husband and I were always well dressed for church and street occasions, but never aspired to any social prestige because we could not. When our little girl was born, we spared no pains or expense to give her the best food obtainable. We wanted her to be psysically perfect, for we knew that with a fine physique, mental qualities would develop i n proportion. Once qur family physician was called i n to see her and when he inquired about her diet I remarked I was giving her meat broths and meat juices two or three times a week. ''Yes," he said, "that's good* She's well nourished. One can see that. Our baby should have those things, too, but we just can't afford it. Qas and meats are so very high we can't do i t " That week his wife incidentally remarked to the that her new fall hat cost $15. Jack and I were horrified that one could deny the baby things she needed and be so extravagant i n dress. We would never, never do such a thing. We would never let our children be bowlegged, pale faced little creatures and us animated fashion plates! Aids for our delusions! F i v e years passed and Jennie was old enough to enter Sunday school. , We got her a new cloak, hat and shoes dnd one dress for "best" She loved her Sunday school teacher and Sunday was Jennie's one day of all. She attended regularly for six weeks. Then our air castles fell. She came home one day crying as i f her heart were broken. After much coaxing we n . , , . . -i . « «• 1 1 * 1 . 1 x t store. Counsel for Lady Sackville, got from her "that a girl at Sunday school had said we must be very, very daughter of bachelor Lord Sackville poor, for she had worn the same dress to Sunday school i o r Bix weeks." and of Pepita Duran, as she waa known This remark was made by a girl of ten years, who wore a silk dress and a diamond r i n g and other equally foolish and extravagant accessories. Of course, we knew this child of 10 had never thought that out Some one i n her home had made a remark like that and the child had passed the idea / !?e r J " " e " l o n / ° 1 1 ° * ^ * Sir John's _ 1 n • v . x i r n T • M I L • o r death. This order waa granted, on. B u t we never could convince little 5-year-old Jennie or this. She only saw her own humiliation and no amount of coaxing would induce her to go back to Sunday school. Fortunately we moved from the city and she has forgotten it. She goes to Sunday school now and dresses better than we. can afford to dress at the expense of our table. We decided it would be hunger-ache or heartache and so chose the former. I t was a most difficult problem, but we think i t has been solved. av J TO the long hidden romance in the life of bachelor^ord SackvlUe. which began when he, then a •young diplomatic attache at Madrid, fell in love with a music hall dancer, there has just been added a romance of another sort in the life of another old bachelor, Sir John Murray Scott, which links his name with the dancer's daughter. The public offer of a reward of $50,- 000 for the discovery and return of an executed copy of a codicil of Sir John's will signed subsequent to 1907 brings the facts to light and presents a mystery with many interesting angles. On February 16 last Gen. Douglas A l - exander Scott, a grUzled veteran in the British service, applied to the courts in London for appointment as receiver of his brother Sir John's estate, which is estimated to be worth many millions.

The national guard is an organization founded for the purpose of protecting state and city property and to quell riots which are too great to be handled by the civil authorities. It is also a reserve force of the army, each man being called upon to do nine months' service. Many persons form the belief that the national guard is used only to fight strikers and to protect "scabs." I can honestly say that it is founded for no such ideas. The national guard offers a young man many club features, such as athletic meets, indoor baseball, basket ball, dancing, vaudeville, rifle practice. The rifle practice is absolutely without expense to members, as ammunition and transportation are furnished by the state; , All equipment is fujniahed by the state and a member la entirely without expense. ^" N a t i o n a l G u a r d I s A d j u n c t o f A r m y Sir John died January 17,1912, When an examination was made of his private papers there was found a draft of another codicil to his will bearing date of October 26, 1000, bequeathing to Lady Sackville a much smaller sum of money than is specified in the codicil offered in court by the titled woman's counsel. It is in the hope that Sir John executed the 1900 Codicil at a date subsequent to the Sacfevi}le codicil and that it can be brought to light that the big reward is offered. ' As the story ls told. Sir John had the habit of slipping Important papers between the leaves of the lawbooks in his library shelves, and It is also said that in his bachelor lack of order in his private apartments he sometimes secreted things in the frames of old paintings.

Sir John came, to know the present Lady Sackville Is a story in itself, and it forms a part of the story of bachelor Lord'Sackville'* romance as well as of Sir John's own lucky rise to |ame and fortune through an inclorder, Lord Sackville's romance comes first. Back in the fifties §ir Lionel Sackville-West, a son of Earl De L a Warr, was sent to Spain as a secretary of legation. He was then twenty-three years old. One night he visited a music hall and there met Pepita Duran, one of the reigning dancing beauties at the Spanish capital. When the young diplomat was transferred to Berlin the dancer accompanied hinv and be did not hesitate to in. trodtfce her as his wife. Children Bom to Couple. Children were born to them—a son and several daughters—and in the registry of births the mother's name was given as Mme Josephine de Ortega and tbe father's at unknown. Upon his appointment to Paris Sir Lionel established a home for his famiiy at Arachon, where he was known as Count West and the woman as the countess. One of the daughters of this union was Victoria Josephine, another Flora, and the son bore the name of Ernest Henri Jean Baptiste. Pepita Duran, the former dancer, otherwise "Countess West," died in March, 1877, and there appeared in the Paris papers of the time the following: "Lionel de Sackviile-West, first secretary of the British embassy in Paris, and minister plenipotentiary par interim, begs his friends and acquaintances to be present at one ot the masses held in the Church of Notre Dame on August 2\ for the repose of the soul of Josephine, Countess de Sackvllle-West, his wife." This announcement made the romance public. It surprised the old families of Great Britain and immediately raised a question as to the status of the children. The countess of Derby, Sir Lionel's sister, threw the weight of her social influence on the side of the daughters and this established them. John Scott's Part In the Romance. It was at this time that John Scott came to know the elder daughter, Victoria Josephine, who was then ten years old. He knew her only as a child romping about the diplomat's suburban villa, but his fondness for her continued throughout all the years which followed, during which he became Immensely wealthy. From Paris Sir Lionel was sent first to Argentina, then to Spain, and in 1*31 to Washington as British minister. The dancers daughters accompanied him, and Victoria Josephine, Just turning into womanhood; became the chatelaine of the embassy and a leader in Washington society. Seven years thereafter, by the death of his brother, Sir Lionel succeeded to the title of Lord Sackville, and it was about the B a m e time that he, by writing a letter, ad vising a former British subject living in this country how to vote In the" Cleveland-Harrison campaign, had his passports returned to him by President Cleveland, and he returned to Knole Park, Kent, England, discredited. In tbe mean time Victoria Josephine had married her cousin, Lionel Edward Sacjcvllie-West, and had gone to live on the Kent estate. Son Demanded Recognition. Now began a fight on the part of Lord Sackville's son, Henri, to establish the legitimacy of his birth with the view to succeeding to the title and estates. The young man, who had been educated in Paris and afterward Bent to South Africa by bis father, had returned to England after the Boer war and demanded from his father full recognition as his heir. This was denied. The son, therefore, set out to establish the proof of his father's admission that he had married his mother, and Lord Sackville was forced to come into the open with a statement that while he had never married he would have made the dancer his wife bad she not been the wife of her dancing teacher. After the first hearing in the case and before final decision was made Lord Sackville, following an injury from a fall while entertaining Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont and some other American guests, died, and his nephew, the husband of Victoria Josephine, succeeded to the title and estates. Move to Secure Estates. The new Lord Sackville made the next move. He brought suit to have himself formally acknowledged as tho heir to the.estates and title. In fighting this proceeding Henri sought once more to prove that he was the legitimate son of Sackville, the establishment of which claim would also prove the legitimacy of his sister, wife of the new lord of the estates. The marriage records of the Church of San Milan, Madrid, were finally examined and the entry there found proving that the mother oi^Lork Sack* villa's children had been the wife of the dancing master,, although there had been an effort to erase the names. The final decision of Sir John Bigham, president ot the probate court, denied the claims and settled the case in favor of Lord Sackville. It was the belief entertained" by Sir John Murray Scott that his little girl friend of Paris days might live, to face some serious trouble, growing out of her parentage, that prompted Aim to remember her in h|s *ttl» .< Three of the codicils of his will were executed shortly before the court's decision against the claims of Lady Sackville's brother. Had the claims been established she and her husband would have been dispossessed from the estates', which have an annual Income of more than $100,000. Sir John's Good Fortune. Sir John's life story also read like a romance. He was the son of an English doctor, who, while crossing the channel to France was called to the bedside of Lady Wallace, who was traveling with her husband, Sir Richard Wallace. In gratitude for this professional service, which restored her to health, the doctor's son waa engaged as secretary to the Wallaces and adopted. Sir John's parish home was the famous chateau and gardens of Bagatelle, which ls valued at close upon $2,000,- 000. The third Marquis of Hertford, the "Lord Steyne" of Thackeray's "Vanity Fair," became the owner of the cha^ teau and from him it passed to the fourth Marquis and later to 8ir Richard Wallace. Through the will of Lady Wallace it passed into the possession of Sir John, who also received a bequest in cash of $3,500,000. If the search for the missing codicil to Sir John's will, which is being made in three countries, fails to bring them to light, a considerable portion of the great estate will go to Lady Sackville. SHARP BATTLE IN ARKANSAS Charge and Countercharge at Prairie Grove Is Graphically Related by Veteran of Chicago, A 1 Western fighting was not so dramatically set forth at the time of the war as were the campaigns of the east, but its picturesqueness is unquestionable. It has3 a special claim on Chicago's interest because many of the men who fought in the army of the frontier are now living in Chicago. One of these, George Rettig, who lives at 2105 Leland avenue, tells of his experiences at Prairie Grove in the Arkansas-Missouri campaign of 1862. , The story 1B as follows: "After the battle of Rhea's Mills we came down to the place known as Prairie Grove. Here our position was on high ground on the concave side of a bend made by the valley of a little stream. Beyond the creek and the level land that bordered it was another rise of ground, on which the Confederates had their battery hidden in the woods. "The Third Wisconsin cavalry, my regiment, was at the right, and the Twentieth Wisconsin infantry was at the center. This regiment started out first Down the hill they went, with the fire of the rebel battery converged on them, and across the level ground and up the other hill they made their way, climbing a fence to reach the wooded ground. They reached the guns and a captain had^ planted a flag on the battery when the whole Hue of Confederate infantry, which had been reserved for this purpose, rose up and threw the Wisconsin men back down the hill. More than 100 of our men were left hanging on the fence or dying in the.woods. "Then the secesh came out in turn. They aimed for a point half way between my regiment and the Twentieth Wisconsin. Here Rapp's Indiana battery was set up. The Confederates tried to charge the battery, and every time they were driven back by a rain ORATORICAL FLIGHT WON OUT Irishman's Somewhat Enigmatical Speech Secured for Railroad Desired Right of Way. At a dinner given recently in Chicago Eugene H . Garnett told the following story: "There was recently Introduced In New York a bill authorizing a railroad company to extend its right ot way through a certan town. In the legislature was a member who at all times considered it his duty to fight every measure of which a'corporation was the first beneficiary. He feared that the encroachment of the vested interests upon the public and private domain would continue until a single great corporation should gather in all the wealth of the world, and own the whole population of the globe, body and soul. "These sentiments he announced in his philippic against the bill. In, closing he urget^he members to take a determined stand against the railroads, Invaders of peace, destroyers of comfort. "Satisfied with the applause that greeted his efforts he sat down. An Irish member arose and said: T h e substance of the honorable gentleman's remarks is that if we give the railroad the right of way it will run over our prostrate forms. Now, I suggest that we all step one side and let the railroad run on the sod. It is much better to develop the country, to get a free ride once in a while on the sly, than it is to wake up some fine morning, and find -the grading gangs on our backs, running main lines down our spinal columns, using our ribs for side tracks.' The bill passed.** One Had a Headache. This storyv ought to amuse A. M . Willard, who painted a celebrated picture called "The Spirit of '76." It was told by an artist who bad just employed a youth of about eighteen to do odd jobs around his studio. "Say, mister," said the new boy, "I seen a great picture onct Gee! but ft was fine.

The Confederates spread for a moment and then came back again to the charge. They were piled five and six high in front of the guns before they were ordered back to their lines. "Evening came, and there was no more fighting, and in the morning when we expected to be- attacked we found that the enemy had left. So we went down and took Van Buren and Fort Smith. There was not much trouble there. We came down from the high ground into the city after an engagement with some Texas rang* ers, and we found the place deserted by the men. The secesh were on the other side of the river with a battery and they shot canister and grape across the water and up the streets. We put a Union flag on the courthouse, and they shelled it, but their aim was> not good, and the flag stayed. W i t h all their firing they did not hit one man of us, but they Jdid kill several Hogs and one woman. seen "What was the name of it?" asked the artist. The art critic knitted his brows.

Loie Petrie came to me from England, bearing testimonials from several of London's foremost physicians regarding her ability as a graduate nurse. I availed myself of her services in my private hospital, and she justified the good impression she made upon me at our first interview. She was clever, painstaking and absolutely trustworthy, and I learned to rely upon her in the handling of the 'most dinlcult cases. Her health, however, was not all tbat it should have been, and two months after her engagement she was taken i l l with a form of nervous malady. I treated her successfully, and she acknowledged that, as I suspected, she had suffered from the ailment formerly, and this was a second attack ef the old trouble. It was then that she related to me a rather singular story, which I have endeavored to set down as follows, as nearly as possible ln her own words: Early in the winter of last year, when living in London, I was sent to nurse a patient by the name of Leonora Trefusis. She was a girl of nineteen, and the victim of nerve distress In an acute form. The illness was brought on by an unfortunate love affair. Two years before she had been engaged to a Captain Gifford of the British army. Then the news reached Leonora that her lover had been killed during an encounter with tribesmen in India. His body was never recovered, and the blow completely prostrated the young girl. The nervous breakdown which required my services took place. I got her to confide her sorrows to me, and she often spoke of Captain Gifford and of therlove she still bore him. By and by Leonora began to get well, and soon afterward, to my astonishment, I heard of her engagement to Dr. Herslet, one of the cleverest surgeons in Harley street. I had nursed patients for Dr. Herslet, and never imagined that he was a marrying man. He was hard and dry in appearance, not more than thirty-five, but looking considerably older. Herslet was a brain specialist, and no man living had studied the anatomy of the brain more thoroughly. A l l that modern science knew he had acquired. I respected Herslet, but at the same time I feared him, for he was a silent, cold sort of individual whose manner repelled one. When he became engaged to Leonora I felt sorry for the girl. Once I ventured to speak to my patient on the subject. "Do you really love this man whom you the going to marry?" I asked. She looked at me sadly and shook her head. "I do not," she said slowly. "I am going to marry Dr. Herslet simply because my father wishes .it. Yet he knows that all my love Is g!ven\to the man who lies in an unknown grave. Dr. Herslet understands that if such an impossible thing happened as that Dick Gifford should come back I could not marry him. Dick will never come back, of course, and I shall be married to Dr. Herslet in two months from now. You will stay with me until the wedding is over, will you not, nurse?" I readily promised, for I had grown to love the girl well. On a certain day not long after this conversation I happened to be alone, when the door of the room/1 was in opened and Dr. Herslet came in. "I have a very critical case In my hospital just now, nurse," said he. "I want your assistance, as the case is one of life or death. You must leave Miss Trefusis tomorrow and come to me. "I cannot," I replied, "Leonora is better, but she is still dependent on nie." "Nevertheless," he returned coldly, "you will come to my house tomorrow evening. The operation will take place on the following morning. I anv going to trephine. If I am not successful, the patient will go mad; trephining is the only chance for him. ^ o u will have to leave me, nurse," she said. "I feel terribly' sad at the thought of losing #ou, hut Dr. Herslet is insistent and must have his way. When he b e e v e s emphatic I have to obey him. But I want you to come to my room; I wish to show you something you have never yet seen—Captain Gilford's photograph." I follbwed her to her room and she handed me the photograph of a remarkably fine-looking, pleasant-faced man* "It Is a good face," I said, after I had examined the picture,/'the countenance ot a b r a v e m a n , / r a m sorry for you, Leonora." / Toward the evening of the next day I went to Dr./Herslet's hospital, which was nex^cfoor to his own house. Having been^taken to my room.and given some refreshment, a servant ik me if I wished tb see my patient. I assented, and In my professional cap and uniform followed the girl to the d c o r ^ t f r o o m on ttfe first floor. I knocked, a voice bade me enter, and I stepped Inside. A & t i man %ad; Hsen to receive me; a* lamp1 stood on tae tatio*tehlM him; his face and figure were in the shadow. He came forward and shook hands. "Pray sit down, nurse," he said. "Has Dr. Herslet told you the nature of the operation?" "Yes," I replied. "He says it is a serious one." "Exactly. Well, a couple of years ago I received a severe blow on the head and Dr. Herslet believes there is pressure on a certain portion of the brain. Since the time of the accident I have suffered from epileptic fits. To save myself from the horrors of a lunatic asylum I prefer to take the chance of the surgeon's knife. I returned home a fortnight ago. When with my regiment I received the blow which I have just mentioned. I was Supposed to be dead, but was taken prisoner instead. I have much to live for, should the operation prove successful. If not, there are certain friends whom I would just as soon have believe that I perished in India. But I must not talk too much as the slightest excitement brings on a fit. Here is the key of my portmanteau. Perhaps, nurse, you will go to my room and unpack some of my things." I took the key and went into his bedroom, which adjoined the sitting room. A large portmanteau stood by the door. I unlocked it and began to put away my patient's clothes. At the bottom of the portmanteau I found a pile of papers on top of which lay a photograph. I took the photograph up, and the well-known face of my late patient, Leonora Trefusis, was before me! My mind reverted to the man I had just left. Surely, as he turned from out the shadow and the lamplight fell upon his features, I had noticed something familiar about that frank, open face. Where had I seen it before? Like a flash of truth, or what seemed to be the truth, became clear. The man I was about to nurse had only just returned from India, where he had been wounded and taken prisoner. Was it possible that I had found Leonora's lost lover? But I must make sure; I must not be rash. I returned to the sitting room. "I have unpacked your things," I said to the patient. "By the way, would you mind letting me know your name. "My name is Captain Gifford," was the reply. I left the room without speaking further. It was nearly 10 o'clock, but I resolved to.go straight to Leonora and tell her "what, I had discovered. I dressed hurriedly and was descending the stairs when the front door opened and Dr. Herslet entered. "Have you seen the patient, nurse?" he asked. "Yes," I answered. "I have unpacked his things. I am going out to see Miss Trefusis; I have some important news for her." m "I am afraid I cannot spare you now," he said. "The operation is to be performed early in the morning and I want to talk the case over with you. Come Into my consulting room." I followed him down the hall and entered tbe consulting room. "Now, nurse," he said, "what do you mean, by saying you have news for Miss Trefusis?" "Do you not intend to marry her in about six weeks?'' I asked. "Certainly; but what has your news to do with that?" "Everything. You engaged yourself to marry Leonora on a condition. She promised to wed you only because she believed her old lover to be dead." "Which he is. I did say to her that if such a thing should happen as that the dead should return to life, I should in honor give her up. But I was4 never sufficiently interested to even ask the name of the gentleman ; I preferred to avoid the subject." "You can scarcely avoid it now," I said. Dr. Herslet, Leonora's old lover exists; he is alive and in this house now. His name is Captain Gifford. Go to Leonora, if you do not believe me, and ask what her lover's not sacrifice either love or ambition. ^The operation,, will be postponed. I will gives&ny patient excellent reasons for the delay, f'shall keep, him, here an<i\operate, after;)ny marriage^has taken7 place. Nowj perhapB, you understand the strength of my, position. You can, if you wish it, return to Leonora and stay.with herointil after the marriage, or you can defy me." "You mean t h a t ! am to go back to Leonora and not tell her what I have discovered?" "Exactly; but you can please yourself." "What is the alternative?" "If you do not promise to obey me, I shall seal your lips. How I will do so is my secret. You cannot leave this house tonight. Tomorrow morning I will speak to you again. Now you must go to your room." He took me by the arm and led me out of the consulting-room. My brain was in a whirl and I was incapable of resistance. I went up the stairs, en 1 will arrange the matter with Mlss^name was. Ask her to show you his Trefusis." ^That evening Lenbra came to me. ^photograph. The photograph is that of the man upstairs, your patient." Dr. Herslet's cold eyes gazed at me steadily. The man's nerves must have been made of steel, for he never flinched, "I'WHl investigate your story," he said. "In the meantime, I do not intend to allow yon to see Leonora tonight. While I am absent you shall remain here." Without waiting for a reply, he left the room, and locked the door after him. At the end of an hour he returned. His face was as cold and Impassive as ever. "I have verified the truth of your tale,"/he said. "I visited Miss Trefusis, and for the first time since our engagement I alluded to her old lover. She wept. I asked his name and particulars about him and was shown his photograph. My rival lives; he is upstairs. Tomorrow I am to perform a critical operation upon blm. Think what you have put into my power. A swerve of the knife means death. But I have no Intention of committing murder. I ebalf operate upon' Captain tered my room and sa^down to think small wound on your head by making matters over. Knowing Herslet as I did, I saw that it would be useless to try to leave the house that night. Perhaps I could manage it in the morning. He had said the operation was to be postponed, ana there m yet be time for. me to save Leonora.1 Overcome with excitement and em tion, I lay back in my chair, and fell into a deep sleep. I awoke suddenly and opened my eyes to see Dr. Herslet standing before me. I tried to rise, but was unable to move. The surgeon bent over me, one hand on my shoulder, the other holding something to my mouth and nostrils. The faint, sweet smell of chloroform was in the air. Herslet's cruel eyes were gazing into mine. "You are in my power," he said; "I am sealing your lips." As he spoke I ceased to struggle and my senses4 left me. When I awoke again It was morning and I was lying on the floor with my head against a sharp corner of the bedstead. I felt queer and heavy and there was a dull pain in my temples. Suddenly the door opened and a servant entered. "What is the matter?" she cried. "What has happened?" I made an effort to speak, but not a word would come, only a gurgling sometime and tell Miss Trefusfgwhat you had fpund out, 1 made up my mind to act. I waited until you had dropped asleep, then I administered an anaesthetic. The rest was easy. With a suitable instrument I made a small opening through the bone at the top of your temple, just over the center which controls the power of speech. Having made the entrance I introduced a probe and broke up that portion of the brain tissue. The external opening is scarcely visible.. You are supposed to be suffering from cerebral hemorrhage. You may later on rise from your bed, but you cannot speak, nor can you control your brain sufficiently to write anything, even with your left hand. Thus you are as powerless to convey the information you know to Leonora Trefusis as if you were dead. Having performed the operation, I placed you with your head beside the sharp corner of the jed, and upon it smeared a little blood. You may call attention to the signs to the nurse, but she has been told that the wound was caused by your fall." He bowed to me mockingly and left the room. I lay perfectly motionless i n my bed. I knew that I was doomed, chained as in iron fetters; I, in my first youth, was doomed to the silence of the grave. Dr. Herslet would probably marry Leonora; Captain Gifford would probably die. Such thoughts, sweeping by in grim procession, tortured me day and night. At last, about a week after my seizure, Leonora came to see me, accompanied by Dr. Herslet. "She looks so anxious and pathetic," said Miss Trefusis. "Watch her eyes, Paul; they seem as though full of a question, She is longing to tell us something. Perhaps she can write it." "Try her," said Dr. Herslet, producing a pencil and sheet of paper. Leonora placed the pencil in my hand. I glanced at her and made a frantic effort, but in vain. My brain directed the words, but the hand would not obey. I cpuld only effect a few straggling lines on the paper. r "It is of no use; she cannot," said the surgeon. "It tortures her to try." Leonora bent over and kissed me, " i f you do not: o b e y m e , I o t a l l *eal y p u r l i p a success o | ^ c l i an operation ,wj& greatly enhance my reputation. ; will noise in my throat. I tried to struggle to my feet, but my right side, arm and leg were powerless. I sank back with a moan. As I did so I noticed a little blood on the corner of the bed against which I had evidently fallen. The girl rushed out and returned in a few moments with Dr. Herslet. He looked at me keenly. "This is dreadful," I heard him murmur. He raised my paralyzed arm and let it fall again. "How did tbis happen, nurse Petre?" he asked. Again I tried to speak; my lips moved, but no sound escaped them. "Ring for Nurse Martha," said the doctor, "and get her into *bed. It is apoplexy. I will be back shortly." I was put to bed, and soon Dr. Herslet returned with another doctor. They both examined me carefully. — "It is a clear case, Herslet," said the other doctor. ''Hemorrhage from tbe left middle cerebral, with hemiplegia and aphasia. Very sad Indeed. The mind is fully conscious but all power of speech is lost Broca's convolution is evidently involved." "Can you raise your right arm?" he queried, bending over me. I shook my head in reply, "You see she understands what Is said to her," he added, looking at Dr. Herslet The two physicians left the room, but soon Dr. Herslet returned and sent the nurse away. "Well," said he, bending over me, "you can see now how wrong you were to defy me. I told you I would seat your lips If necessary, and they are sealed. X am going to marry Miss Trefusis, and so I have taken steps to insure your silence. It is possible that you may never be able to speak, again. With my knowledge of the Gifford and I nope to be successful; ^localization of motor centers, of'the I will not throw the case away, for the: urate, it was easy for me to do what 1 have done. Whien I saw that yn*i were determined to leave the houses then left the room, her eyes wet with tears. Some more weeks went by; there was no change in my condition. A certain morning dawned and 1 awoke feeling strangely better. I could not account for my sensations, but I felt lighter and less heavylimbed. I noticed, too, that I could move my arm—the paralysis was evidently passing away. Once again I made an effort to speak, but not a word would come. Still, the paralysis of the arm and side was lese marked. When the nurse entered the room I longed to say to her, "I am better," but I think my eyes must have told her something for she leaned over me cheerily and said: "Well, my dear, you are looking more like yourself/' I raised my arm about an inch in order to draw her attention to it. "Why. that is a splendid improvement1" she said. "I must tell Dr. Harslet" She stood at the side of the bed as if considering. "I am uncertain whether I ought tb trouble him today," she said.* "This in his wedding day. But, nurse, what a strange expression you have in your face. You have got such curious eyes—I never before saw human eyes express so much. I do not believe that you like the idea of this wedding. Well, Miss Trefusis is a beautiful young lady: but then, Dr. Herslet is so clever, the cleverest surgeon of his day. Of course he is older, but " She was interrupted by a knock at the door and went to open i t 1 heard her utter an exclamation; she then cams back quickly to my side. "What do you think has happened?" she said. "You are highly honored. There is no less a person standing outside than: Miss Trefusis herself— the bride-to-be. 8hall I show her in?" M y eyes spoke, my hand beckoned, and Leonpra entered. She was in her bridal dress. Her beauty was extraordinary and startling, but her sweet face was ghastly pale and her dark eyes were full of an uncontrollable sadness. I motioned to Nurse Martha to leave us alone. Leonora came up close to me. "I had hoped that you might be better," she said, bending; over me. "I could not go away without seeing you and bidding you good-bye. Yes, I am going to the church now to be married. Ah, nurse, dear nurse, poor Dick never came back. I shall be Mrs. Herslet within an hour." I motioned with my hand and said with my eyes: "Stay with me a little while. Mine is a dreadful fate—comfort me with your presence just for a few minutes." She appeared to read my thoughts, for wkhout a word she sat' down near rae. Presently she took my hand and covered it with her kisses. Some of her tears dropped upon it. As she sat so, and the quick moments passed, and I knew that in a very short time her fate would be irrevocably sealed, a frantic determination awoke within me. If no words could arise to my lips, at least I could direct my thoughts to the Providence above. I began to pray fiercely, despairingly. I began to plead with Heaven to give me back the gift of speech, If it could be on]y for a short time, a few fleeting moments, what might I not accomplish? If I could but save her by a few whispered sounds, even if the effort cost my life, I would gladly pay the price. As my spirit writhed within me Leonora watched me curiously, and then leaned forward and touched me. "What is it, dear?" she asked. "Your eyes seem to speak, surely there is something that is troubling you. Oh, nurse, nurse, make an effort. Surely you can move that silent tongue if you try hard. I feel sure there is something I must know, something you want to tell me." My heart was beating wilflly, and I moved my partially paralyzed arm to and fro. It seemed as though my spirit must burst its bonds and overcome the weakness of the flesh. My lips trembled with one final, gigantic effort; they writhed as in a spasm, and a guttural noise issued from my throat. Suddenly the blood came surging to my temples; 1 found that the long-lost speech had returned! "Leonora!" I whispered faintly. "Good Heavens! she speaks, she speaks," cried the girl. She fell upon her knees by the bed with clasped hands. "Dear, dearest, tell me what is in your heart." I knew that my words must be few. I had to select them before they were uttered. "Leonora, listen," I'said. "Do not marry Dr. Herslet. Captain Gifford is a patient in this- house; he is not dead—he,came back—I discovered his identity; Dr. Herslet tried to silence me, to keep you in ignorance. Do not marry that bad man, dear." I could say no more; my lips quivered and were still. My brain reeled, the room became dark and I slipped away into blank unconsciousness. I^was ^ery i l l afterward and knew nothing more for a long time. When I came to myself Leonora told me the story of the next few days. Acting on advice, she went to seek Captain Gifford, and found him. She said little or nothing about that interview, nor did I question her. Dr. Herslet returned to the house about half an hour after I had recovered my power of speech. Leonora herself met him and told him what h^d happened. He looked quietly at her and his face grew white; he went out of the house, never to return. Never again did he come back to Harley street; his career in England was ended, and the reason of his strange disappearance was not made public as we kept the secret to ourselves. Another great surgeon performed the operation on Captain Gifford, who recovered completely, and Leonora became his'wife. As for me, I grew to have a horror of my surroundings; everything in London seemed io remind me of the terrible period through which I had passed. When I had regained my strength I resolved to try what change of climate and country would do for me, and I came to New York.. Perhaps I started to work a little too soon, but now, thanks to your care, Dr. Halifax, I feel that I am on the road to complete recovery. The silence is over forever, fhank Heaven, and the memory of that frightful experience is fast assuming the outlines of some fantastic dream. Headmasters' Replies. Head Master Peabody of Groton was noted for bis wit. A n illiterate mother with pronounced social aspirations once wrote him saying that she would like to "inter" her son as a scholar at Groton. What she particularly insisted upon knowing, however, before she "interred'* darling Harold, was the exact social standing of tbe parents of the boys with whom Harold would be thrown in contact Headmaster Peabody thus replied: "Dear Madam: Witb reference to interring your son at Groton 1 wish to say tbat I ehould be glad to undertake the task. If your son behaves himself well no questions will be asked about his parentage." When the same mother received Harold's quarterly deportment report she sent it back, demanding to know what "generally good" meant. M r . Peabody replied: "According to Webster's Unabridged 'generally' has the significance of 'not particularly. i SUICIDAL INSANITY '"What is the cause of the terrible l a - crease in the crop of suicides?* waa the psychological problem propounded by one of Pittszurg's notable scientific men in the'presence of a reporter for the Pittsburg Dispatch. "I do not refer especially to Pittsburg," toe continued, "for this species of insanity seems to be -general in America. aud in all other countries. It is a ghastly record, this self-destruction- by bullet, by deadly drugs, by the "knife, the rope, by gas, by drowning, by almost every means conceivable, and some nearly inconceivable." "Many of the suicides are traceable to causeB that are really trivial, but those are mostly confined to weosen and for the most part, I think the records will show, to young women ef the) shallower sort, who have been disappointed in what they imagine Itrve* Sometimes it is domestic difficulty, and I dare say that nine-tenths ef tho cases of this sort are realty due t o the impossibility of the family t o make the social show they desire. This affects the wife and mother poignantly, probably because of the presence of daughters who wish to dress more showily than tbe pufse ot the father will permit. Tbe father also is fond of his children and i n attempting to give them all that hia purse will allow he often gives more, gets deeper and deeper into pecuniary difficulty, and concludes that the easiest way out is the way that will end all for him, not stopping to consider that the sensible way would be to live well within his means no matter what the demands on his income. "Nearly always this Is the result of wishing to live like other people live whose incomes are larger. Jt is a wrong, Billy view of life, and to seme extent it ia peculiarly an American view. The show that mere money w i l l give induces a sort of erase to make the same sort cf show that somebody else's money gives> and where there is much more money. I have here ai clipping of an interview with- Frederic .Harrison of world-wide reputattaa as a publicist, and it is so amen to the point that I hope lt can be reproduced in the Dispatch. The comment ot }fLr. Harrison was called out by tbesuicide of a young stockbroker, M r . Coleman, whose income was about $3,000, but who lived to the Kmtt of about $6,000. He became involved in debt and paid his debts by putting a bullet in his brain. Here ia the opmr ment: "However terrible the cost, people must be in the swim. Each man today in England copies the senseless extravagance of his richer neighbor. They follow like sheep one after the other, and no one has the courage of his convictions.'4* "The case of Mr. Coleman Is a finger post on the road along which we are traveling today. "The taste for Luxury has increased! beyond all bounds, spreading from thet upper classes, who started i t to the middle classes, who were free from it 20 years ago. "People cannot keep quiet now. They can's be alone, they can't *ead„ they can't stay at home. Formerly people went to the theater to enjoy the play. Now, the play is net enough. They must have sapper at an expensive restuarant after the theater. "And lt is not because they really desire these luxuries that they Indulge/ in them. It is something even more poisonous to public life than mere idle extravagance. "It is a want of mental balance. The middle-class family has, lost the power of estimating things en their own merits. They do things now because they fear to be 'out of it.' 5t ia sufficient for a man or wo^an to see' their neighbors in e..Joy ment of some luxury to want it themselves. It is a lunacy o t imitation. "In Germany people go to the theater simply dressed, beeauee they love the theater.

I shall make the figure com- /mensurate with the poignant grief l tfeei. He was my friend and client—" : The next morning it was discovered that some time daring the night the (judge had tacked his anonymous comjmunloatton on the court house door; {fust below it was another sheet of pamer covered with bold script: r T o Whom It May Concern: "Judge SIbcum Price assumes that Sie above was intended for him since e found it under his office door on ithe morning of the twenty-tifth Inst, ii "Judge Price begs leave to state it jas his unqualified conviction that the jwrlter is a coward and-a cur, and Coffers a reward of five thousand doll a r s for any Information tbat will lead (to his identification." • « • • • • » ^ Tom Ware was seated alono over ;Ws breakfast. He had left his bed las the pale morning light crept across {the great fields that were alike his pride and his despair—what was the jtise of trying to sleep when sleep was ,an impossibility! He was about to quit the table when big Steve entered the room to say there was a ''tvbite fellow at tho door. "Fetch him along in here," said .Ware. The,white fellow delivered a penciled note from Murrell. When he •was gone, the planter ordered his fcorse, As Ware rode away from Belle Plain be cursed Murrell under his Jfcreath.

He gave Fentress a hopeless beaten look. "You're my witness that first and last I've no part ln this!" The colonel, shrugged his shoulders. Murrell reached out a hand and rested it on Ware's ann. "Keep your wits, Tom, and within a week people will have forgotten all about Norton and your sister. I am going to give them something else to worry over," Ware went from the cabin. "Look here, how about the boy— are you ready for him if I can get my hands on him! I'll send him either up or down the river and place him in safe keeping where you can get him at any time you want." "This must be done without violence, John!" stipulated Fentress. "Certainly, I understand. Which shall it be^—up or down river?" "Could you take care of him for me below, at Natchez?" inquired Fentress. As wett there as anywhere." Good!" said Fentress, and took his leave. Tnre£-quarters | f ati hour slipped by, then, piercing the silence, Murrell heard a ^ h r l ^ w ^ twice retreated; he saw Bess go down to the landing .again. A half-hour elapsed and a man issued from the scattering growth * of hushes that screened the shore. The newcomer crossed tho clearing and entered the cabin. He was a young fellow of twenty-four or five, whose bronzed face wore a reckless expression. }'Well,, captain, what's doing?" tie asked.

"You speak as though you were fool enough to think the niggers would accomplish something!" said Murrell coolly, "There will be confusion at first, but there are enough white men in the southwest to handle a heap better organized insurrection than we'll be able to set going.

Two or three hundred Americans could walk off with an island like Haytl, for instance—and it's bleck with niggers. What we'd done here would he just so much capital down there. We'd make it a stamping- ground for the Clan! In the next two years we could bring in a couple ot thousand Americans and then we'd, be ready to, take over their government, Whether they liked it or not, and run it at a profit. We'd put the niggers back in ^slavery where they belong, and set them at work raising sugar and tobacco tor their own boss* es.

"Inside of two days. I've got seme private business to BetUe before I leave. I'll hang round here until that's attended to." CHAPTEft XVIK The Judge Extends His Credit. That afternoon Judge Price walked out to Belle Plain. Solomon Mahaffy had known that this was a civility Betty Malroy could by no means escape. He had been conscious of the judge's purpose from the moment i t existed in the germ state, and he had striven to divert him, but his striving had been in vain, for though the judge valued Mr. Mahaffy because of certain sterling qualities which he professed to discern beneath the hard crust that made up the external man, he was not disposed to accept him aa his mentor in nice matters of taste and gentlemanly feeling. He ow,ed it to himself personally to tender his sympathy. Miss Malroy must have heard something ot the honorable part he had played; surely she could not be in ignorance of the fact that the lawless element, dreading his further activities, had threatened him. She must know, too, about that reward of five thousand dollars. Certainly her grief could not blind her to the fact that he had met the situation with a largeness of public spirit that was an impressive lesson to the entire community. These were all points over which be and Mahaffy had wrangled, and he felt that his friend, in seeking to keep him away from Belle Plain, was standing squarely l n his light. He really could not understand Solomon or his objections. He pointed out that Norton had probably left a will —no one knew yet—probably his estate would go to his intended wife— what more UKely? He understood Norton had cousins somewhere i n middle Tennessee—there was the attractive possibility of extended litigation. Miss Malroy needed a strong, clear brain to guide ber past those difficulties his agile fancy assembled in her path. He beamed on his friend with a wide sunny smile. "You mean she needs a lawyer, Price?" insinuated Mahaffy. "That slap at me, Solomon, Is unworthy of you. Just name some one, will you, who has shown an interest comparable to mine? I may say I have devoted my entire energy to her affairs, and with disinterestedness. 1 have made myself felt. Will you mention who else these cutthroats have tried to browbeat and frighten? They know that my theories and conclusions are a menace to thorn! I got 'em in a panic, sir—presently some fellow will lose his nerve and light jont for the tall timber—and Jt will be just Judge Slocum Price who's done the trick—no one else!" "Are you looking for some one to take a pot shot at you?" inquired Mahaffy, sourly. "Your remark uncovers my rondest hope, Solomon—I'd give five years of my life Just to be shot at—that would round out the episode of the letter nicely"; again the judge beamed on Mahaffy with that wide and sunny, smile of his. "Why don't you let the boy go alone, Price?" suggested Mahaffy. He lacked that sense of sublime confidence in the judge's tact and discretion of which the judge, himself, entertained never a doubt "I shall not obtrude myself, Solomon; I shall merely walk out to Belle Plain and leave a civil message. I lpiow what's due Miss Malroy. In Ber bereaved stater-she has sustained no ordinary loss, and In no ordinary fashion. She has been the center'of a striking and profoundly moving tragedy! I would give a good deal to know if my late client left a will—" "You might ask her," said Mahaffy cynically. "Nothing like going to headquarters for the news!" "Solomon, Solomon, give me credit for common sense—go further, and give me credit for common decency! Don't let us forget that ever since we came here she has manifested a charmingly hospitable spirit where we are concernedJ" "Wouldn't charity hit nearer the mark, Price?"

The trouble had started with some of the older boys in a misunderstanding over a game. After hearing both sides of the question, she decided proper punishment for the combatants, and told them to remain in their seats after the others had gone home. She remembered something she wanted to say to a little boy who did not take part i n the affray, so she turned to him and said: "Now, in the meantime, Guy—" "I wasn't in it, MIBS Martin," Gny interrupted hastily.

That One Thing Lacking. Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and ardent apostle of the modern Irish movement, is fond of telling the following real Irish story: "It was the wedding day of Pat and Bridget, and they were having a church wedding. It was a grand affair. Pat was dressed with patent leather shoes, white vest and flaming tie, Bridget shone attractively in many colors. The ceremony was pver, and the happy pair walked down the aisle, out into the street, where a great crowd greeted them with delight. "Ottce seated within the cab, Bridget leaned^' over to Pat and said, in a-loud whisper, 'Den, Pat, i f we could only have stooji «m the sidewalk and watch, ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have been hivinV COLONEL ANNOUNCES P L A N K S F O R N E W LIST: O F Leader of New Movement in Record Speech Calls for Short Ballot, Short Hours, Age Pensions, Woman's Suffrage and Other Reforms. Theodore Roosevelt made his "confession of faith?' to the ^a<f6n|l Progressive Convention in Chicago Tuesday. The former president struck out boldly into new ground, advocating measures which he said frankly would be denounced as either socialism or anarchy. The delegates,listened to his speech with the understanding that they must either adopt a platform substantially in consonance w i t h h i s views or look elsewhere for a nominee for the presidency;j •> The convention was called to order for Tuesday's session at 12:30, the delegates having been slow to arrive. Chairman Beveridge introduced Col. Roosevelt, and when cheering had ceased he immediately began his two-hour declaration of principles. These are the conspicuous points in the Roosevelt program: Recall of judicial decisions, as first advocated by Col. Roosevelt in the spring campaign, and for which he was subjected to wide criticism. Col. Roosevelt now advocates its extension to apply to federal as well as state courts. He favors the establishment of machinery to make easier of ameno> ment both the national and state constitutions, especially. with the view of prompt action on certain judicial decisions. Use of the government to assist workmen to become part owners of the business in which they are employed. The government system should be shaped so that "the public servant, when he cannot conscientiously carry out the wishes of the people, shall at their desire leave his office and not misrepresent them i n office." Would Alter System of Government. Col. Roosevelt did not suggest the method by "which he would bring this abbtlt, and there was much speculation as to whether he had in mind a fundamental change in the American system of government In some quarters it was interpreted as a declaration in favor of extension of the recall to include legislative, executive and judicial officers of the national government, from the president down. Control of the trusts through retention of the Sherman anti-trust law and establishment of an interstate industrial commission to regulate corporations as the interstate commerce commission regulates railroads. Corporations which come voluntarily under this commission and Obey its orders to be immune from prosecution under the Sherman law. Those which fail to do so to he subject-to prosecution, and if the prosecution is successful, thorough dlsmembeftpenu the constituent parts not to be allowed to do business save under conditions laid down by the industrial commission. Conditions determining monopoly prices to be controlled where these concerns deal with the necessaries of life. Adoption of a number of measures to secure "social and industrial justice to the wage workers." Plan for industrial Justice. Included in the list are establishment by law immediately of minimum wage scales for- women, minimum wage commissions to-fix standards of wages for all workers, bid age pensions, a living wage, which Col. Roosevelt defines as an amount sufficient to provide for education, recre^iion, care for immature members of the family, maintenance of the family during sickness, and accumulation of reasonable saving for old age; prohibition.o night labor for women and children, eight-hour shifts for workmen in industries in which men are employed 24 hours a day; national and state workitigmen's compensation laws, guarantee by law of one day's rest in every seven, old age insurance and insurance against sickness, invalidism and involuntary employment, the cost of such insurance to be distributed among employer, employe and perhaps the people at large. ~ Legislation to increase popular coatrpl oyer governmental agencies, including a national law for presidential primaries, election o! U . S. senators by direct vote, the short ballot, corrupt practices acts applying to primaries as well as elections, qualified adoption ojC the initiative, referendum and recall. Woman "suffrage1^ ' " . Strengthening of the pure food law. Establishment of a national health department. Creation of a permanent tariff commission to study the effects of protection and the relations of the tariff to labor. CoJ. Roosevelt declared against blanket revisions of the tariff, saying that changes should be made schedule by schedule. Cost of Uving Remedy.. Measures to relieve the high cost of living, among which are suggested elimination of the middle man, legislation to stop speculation which inflates prices, assistance of the farmer by state and national government, one of improved business methods, good roads, reclamation of arid and swamp lands and an expert examination into any tariff schedule which seems to increase the cost of living.

He was born in Livingston County thirty two years a?o and has spent bis entire lite within its boundaries excepting when attending or leaebing school After graduating at Howell High School, he taught successfully in tbe district schools of tbe county for two years srivinp excellent satisfaction in every instance. With the mcne> he saved from teaching, be was enabled to attend tbe State Normal at Ypsilanti irom wnrh institution be graduated five years ago. He bas also had one year at tbe University of Michigan Attfcr finishing school, be taught successfully at Alton and Gales burg, Illinois, at which last named place, be was offered a substantial increase of salary if be would remain. Home duties aud business reasons combined induced him to return to Livingston County. A£ will be seen by tbe above Mr. Aldrich is thoroughly equipped from an educational standpoint and has bad the experience teaching both in distriot and graded schools to preeminently qualify him for the duties of sshooi commissioner. His kindly manner, geniality and example coupled with bis excellent moral character makes Mr. Aldrich an inspiration to every young person with whom he comes in contact. To know him is fo appreciate him. ^ Should he receive the nomination at the primaries, he will be a tower of strength to the ticket during the cam paigtt and it will indieate tbat the kepublican patty bas use fojj young men of character and abiaty who Fincbey Locals Mrs. D.

Tie St. Mary's Picnic People of Pinckney and surrounding localities always look forward with pleasure to the St Mary's annual picnic A fine time is always expected and this year was no exception to the general rule. Weather conditions were unusually good. Yes, so was the big dinner at noon. The ladies are to be complimented on their excellent menu. The speeches began with Fr. M. Comerford of Flint as toastmaster for the occasion. George Burke Prosecuting Attorney of Washtenaw Co., A. D. Thompson and Richard D. Roche both of Howell were called upon each giving an interesting talk and were enthusiastically cheered at tbe close of their remarks. •"V*. The North Lake Band was right there every minute to keep everybody in a joyful mood with their music. There were 635 meal tickets sold and doubtless many moze might have been disposed of had everyone arrived in time for dinner. Take it all in all the picnic was one glorious success and netted the society close to 1500 Of the ball game the least said the better. It was Pinckney's first game this year while Stockbridge has been averaging two or three games a week since the season started. Ledwidge started on the slab for Pinckney but was in poor form from lack of practise, having no control and being hit freely. His support was also far from perfect. He was relieved by Bravender in the fifth but before this gentleman could get settled Stockbridge poshed across eight more counters. This ended their scoring as they were unable to hit Bravender in the last four innings. Pinckney scored her first run in •the third on singles by Levey Bros, and Ledwidge and their last in the sixth on Ledwidge's double, A. Lavey's out at first and Manning's sacrifice fly. White's fielding featured for Pinckney and the all around work of Hollis for Stockbridge, that individual getting a double and two singles in five trips to the plate and also robbing White of a hit by a remarkable shoestring catch.

A* Why yes; Certainly: Of course there will be mistakes this week in the paper, as well as in "the bread that mother used to make." Frank Bell was born May 31, 1888 in Dexter township, Washtenaw Co. and died August 6, 1912. Until the past few months he was looked upon as a model of physical fitness and there were few who could Outdo him in a hard day's work. A short time ago his health began to fail and in hope of relief he went to the U. of M. hospital at Ann Arbor, where the specialists diagnosed his case as valvular heart trouble. Although everything possible was done to help him, a special nurse being in attendance constantly, and having the best attention that a private patient could have in that great institution, he did not survive long after going there. Frank was well known to all in this community and his loss will be felt by all^his friends, and es« pecially by his former employers wto considered him one of the best workman in this section. He was strictly honest and trust worthy, faithful and thoroughly competent in every branch of farm work, always deeply appreciative of any kindness shown him and never forgettiug to repay any favor, no matter how small. This fine characteristic was especially noticeable in his kind and sympathetic attentions to his mother in Ker recent severe illness. That the funeral was the largest held in Pinckney for some years shows the appreciation of his loss and sympathy with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Bell, and the eight brothers and -three sisters in this their first great bereavment Relatives and friends from Webberville, Jackson, Ann Arbor, Munith, Bunker Hill and Dexter, besides an unusually large number from Pinckney were in attendance at the funeral.

Port Huron.—Motor man Peter Lamb of Detroit performed a heroic act and saved a three-year-old child from death when his car was leaving Algonac. The car had just left the outskirts of that place when Lamb saw in the distance what he thought was a chicken on the track. As the car approached Lamb discovered that it was a girl sitting on one of the rails.. .The^ motprin^n made Btrenuous efforts to stop the car, but' it was apparent that the brakes would not set in time to stop the. car before the child was hit. Swinging himself quickly out of the door and onto the fender, Lamb braced himself, and just at the right moment seized the_ little girl, righting himself and regaining his feet when the car came to a standstill because of his previous application of the emergency brakes. A number of women who witnessed the act came and took the child to the place where its mother lay, she having swooned upon seeing the little one on the track.

Took Slot Machine at Its Word. ; A Kansas -City woman recently took her two small daughters to make their first visit, to her hus^a^d's people, living in a small Kansas town. Naturally she was anxious to make as favorable an impression as possible. So the two little people, on going on an errand to the depot, were cautioned to be on their very best behavior. To the mother's surprise, they returned vigorously chewing gum. As they had no money, she asked them where they got it. "Oh," explained the older one, "it said on the slot machine, 'Ask the agent for pennies,' so we did."

Where shall justice begin, with those who have power or with those who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal Justice were done, the weak would make an effort to give to the strong all that is their due, and the strong would try to put their affairs in order so that no just cause of complaint should exist anywhere. The unhappy element in the-relations of the strong and the weak is that both are thinking too much about exacting justice and not enough about doing that which is just and right. "Pay what thou owest" is the cry most often heard. "Give me that which is my due, then I will pay you what I owe." —The Christian Register. Accorded Full Title.

Having little* else' to do, she studied the man, and she studied him with a warm desire and an enthusiastic predisposition to find the best i n him. tShe would not have been a human [girl if she had not been thrilled to ;the very heart of her by what the man had done for her. She recognized that whether he asserted It or not, he ihad established an everlasting and Indisputable claim upon her. The circumstances of their • first meeting, which aa the days passed did not seem quite so horrible to her, and yet a thought of which would faring the blood to her cheek still on the Instant, had in some way turned ner over to him. Hte consideration of her, his gracious Tenderness toward her, his absolute abnegation, his ^eviden£ overwhelming desire to please her, to make the anomalous situation ln which they stood to each other bearable in spite of their lonely and unobserved intimacy, by an absolute lack of presumption on his part—all those things touched her profoundly. Although she did not recognize the fact then perhaps, she loved him from the moment her eyes had opened in the mist and rain after that awful battle in the torrent to see him bending over her. No sight that had ever met Enid -Maltland's eyes was so glorious, so awe inspiring, so uplifting and magnificent as the viejw from the verge •of the cliff in the sunlight of some brigtit winter morning. Few women had ever enjoyed such privileges as hers. Shft did not know whether she liked the winter crowned range best that way, or whether she preferred the snowy world, glittering cold in the moonlight; or even whether it was more attractive when it was dark and the peaks and drifts were only lighted by the stars which shone never so brightly as Just above her head. When he allowed her she loved to stand sometimes in the full fury of the gale with the wind shrieking and sobbing like lost souls in some icy Inferno through the hills and over the pines, the snow beating upon her, the sleet cutting her face if she dared to turn toward the storm. Generally he left her alone Jn the quieter moments, but in the tempest he stood watchful, on guard by her side, buttressing her, protecting her, sheltering her. Indeed nis presence then was necessary, without him she could scarce have maintained a footing. The force of the wind might have hurled her down the mountain but for his strong arm. .'VyhejQ tthe cold grew too great he led her!back carefully to the hut and the warm fire. v< Ahi ; yes, life and the world were "both beautiful to her then, in night, i n $ay, by .sunlight, by moonlight, ln calm and storm. Yet it made no difference, what was spread before the woman's eyes, what glorious picture .was exhibited to her gaze, she could apt jAok.at, it„more, than A moment r without thinking of the man. With .the most fascinating panorama that the earth's surface coujd spread before human yJsion to engage her attention,, ehe;r 1 ^ into her own heart and saw there this, man! " , Oh, she had fought against it at first, hut lately she had luxuriated Jn It, She loved bim, she loved him! .And why not? What is it that women love in men! Strength of body? .She could remember yet how he had carried her over the mountains in the m i d s ^ f the storm, how she had been .so bravely upborne by his arms to his heart She realized later what a task >that had been, what a fea,t of strength. , The, uprooting of that sapling and the overturning of that huge Grizzly were r child's play to the long portage up the almost impassable canon and <mouotoi%^|| which had brought he* from the world, buried himself in this mountain, and had stayed there deaf to the alluring call of man or woman; he had -h£d the courage to do that. , Was it strength of mind she admired? Enid Maitland was no mean judge of the mental powers of her .acquaintance. She was jusuasfull of life and spirit and the joy of them as any young woman should be, but she had not been trained by and thrown witb the best for nothing. Noblesse oblige! That 4ils was a mind well stored with knowledge of the most, varied sort she easily and at once perceived. Of course the popular books of the last five years had passed him by, and of such he knew nothing, but he could talk intelligently, interestingly, entertainingly upon the great classics. Keats and Shakespeare were his most thumbed volumes. He had graduated from Harvard as a civil engineer with the highest honors of his class and school and the youngest man to get his sheepskin! Enid Maitland herself was a woman of broad culture and wide reading and she deliberately set herself to fathom this man's capabilities. Not infrequently, much to her surprise, sometimes to her dismay, but generally to her satisfaction, she found that she had no plummet with which to sound his greater depths. Did she seek in him that fine flower of good breeding, gentleness and consideration? Where could she find these qualities better displayed? She was absolutely alone with this man, entirely In his power, shut.off from the world and its interference as effectually as if they had both been abandoned in an Ice floe at the North Pole or cast away on some lonely island ln the South Seas, yet she felt as safe as if she had been in her own house, or her uncle's, with every protection that human power could give. He had never presumed upon the situation in the least degree, he never once referred to the circumstances of their meeting in the remotest way, he never even • discussed her rescue from the flood, he never told her how he had borne her through the rain to its crown of sunny hair rising above the rushing water. He had listened to the roar of the wind through the long nights, when > she thought him asleep if she thought of him at ail, and heard again the scream of the storm that had brought her to Ms arms. No snow drop that touched his cheek when he was abroad but reminded him of that night in the cold rain when he had held ber close and carried her on. He could not sit and mend her boot without remembering that white foot before which he would fain have prostrated himself and upon which he would have ^pressed passionate kisses if he had given way to his desires. But he kept all these things in his heart, pondered them and made no sign. Did she ask beauty in her lover? Ah, there at last he failed. According to the canons of perfection he did not measure up to tbe standard. His features were irregular, his chin a trifle too square, his mouth a thought too firm, his brow wrinkled a little; but he was good to look at for he looked strong, he looked clean and he looked true. There was about him, too, that stamp of practical efficiency that men who can do things always have. You looked at him and you felt sure that what he undertook that he would accomplish, that decision and capability were incarnate in him. But after all the things are said love goes where it is sent, and I, at least, am not the sender. This woman loved this man neither because nor in spite of these qualities. That they were might account for her affection, but. if they had not been, it may be that that affection, that that passion, would have inhabitated her heart still. No one can say, no one can tell how or why those things are. She had loved him while she raged against him and hated him. She did neither the one nor the other of those two last things, now, and she loved him the more. Mystery is a great mover; there is nothing so attractive as a problem wo cannot solve. The very situation of She said in her heart—and I am not one to dispute her conclusions— that she would have loved him had he been one among millions to stand before hen, and it was true. He was the complement of her nature. They differed in temperament as much as In complexion, and yet-in those differences as must always be to make perfect love and perfect union, there were striking resemblances, necessary points of contact. There was no reason whatever why Enfd Maitland should not love this man. The only possible check upon her feelings would have been her rather anomalous relation to Armstrong, but she reflected tbat she had promised him definitely,,, nothing. When she had met him she had been heart whole, he had made some impression upon her fancy and might have made more with greater opportunity, but unfortunately for him, luckily for her, he had not enjoyed that privbut there is a sweetness even in the despair of the truly loving. Enid Maitland, however, did not have to endure indifference, or fight against a passion which met with no response, for this man loved her w i t h a love-that was greater even than her own. The moon, in the trite aphorism, looks on many brooks, the brook sees no moon but the one above him in the heavens. In one sense his merit in winning her affection for himself from the hundreds of men she knew, was the greater; rn many years he had only seen this one woman. Naturally she should be everything to him. She represented to him not only the woman but womankind. He had been a boy practically 'when he had buried himself in those mountains, and in all tbat time he had seen nobody like Enid Maitland. Every argument which had been exploited to show why she should love him could be turned about to account for his •onght. n. of character » • detennJnatlotif teiy withdrawn ed away, or which may be expressed from tbe soft petals by the' hard clr cumstanceB of pain and sorrow until there Is left nothing but the lingering perfume of the flower. His body trembred if she laid hand upon him, his soul thirsted for her; present or absent be conjured before his tortured brain the sweetness that inhabited ber breast He had been clearsighted enough in analyzing the past, he was neither clearsighted nor coherent ln thinking oi the present. He worshiped her, he could have thrown himself upen his knees to her; K it would have added to her happiness, she could have killed him, smiling at her. Rode she In the Juggernaut car of the ancient Idol, with his body, would he have unhesitatingly paved the way and have been glad of the privilege. He longed to compass her with sweet* obser* servances. The world revenged itself upon him for his long neglect, it had summed up in this one woman all it* charm, its beauty, Its romance, and had thrust her into his very arms. His was one of those great passions which illuminate the records of the past. Paolo had not loved Franceses fnore. Oh, yes, the woman knew he loved her. It was not in the power of mortal man no matter how Iron his re* straint, how absolute the Imposition of his will, to keep his heart hidden, his passion undisclosed. No-one could keep such things secret, his love foi her cried aloud in a thousand ways, even his look when he dared to turf his eyes upon her was eloquent of hlr feeling. He never said a word, how ever, he held his lips at least fettereV and bound for he believed that honoi and its obligations weighed down the balance upon the contrary side tc which his inclinations lay. He was not worthy of this woman. In the first place all he, had to offer her was a blood stained hand. That might have been overcome In his mind; but pride in his self punishment, his resolution to withdraw himself from man and woman until such time as God completed his expiation and signified his acceptance of the penitent by taking away his life, held him inexorably. The dark face of his wife rose before him. He forced himself to think upon her, she had loved him, she had given him all that she could. He remembered how she had pleaded with him tLat he take her on that last and most dangerous of Journeys, her devotion to ijim ^ ^ O i i o B j f t J f c could net lei him gT cut of ner signt She Loved to Stand In the Pull Fury of the Gale. the lonely shelter of the bills, and In no way did he say anything that the most keenly scrutinizing mind would torture into an allusion to the pool and the bear and the woman. The fineness of bis breeding was never so well exhibited as i n this reticence. More often than not it is what he does.not rather than what he does that indicates the man. It would be folly to deny that be never thought of these things. Had he forgotten them there would be no merit in his silence; hut to remem* her them and to keep stillr-aye, that •bowed the man!

Because she did not know she questioned in secret; interest was aroused and the transition to love was easy. Propinquity, too, is responsible for many an affection. "The ivy clings to the first met tree." Given a man and woman heart free and throw them together and let there be decent kindness on both sides, and tt is almost inevitable that each shall love the other. Isolate them from the world, let them see no other companions but tb* one man and the one woman, and the result becomes more inevitable. , iTes^ i t e woman lofed thtr msm The Dark Pate of His ilege. She scarcely thought of him longer. She would not have been human if her mind had not dwelt upon the world beyond the sky-line on the other side of the range. She knew how those who loved ber must be suffering un account of her disappearance, but knowing herself safe and realizing that within a short time, when the spring came again, she would go back • to them and that their mourning would be turned Into Joy by her arrival, she could not concern herself very greatly over their present feelings and emc^ietfsT"and besides, what would be jfece use of worrying over those things? There was metal more attractive for her thoughts close at hand. And she was too blissfully happy to entertain for' more than a moment any sorrow. • She pictured often ber return and never by any chance did she think of going back to civilization alone. The man she loved would be by her side, the church's blessing would make them one. To do her justice, ln the simplicity and purity of her thoughts she never once thought of what the world might say about that long winter sojourn alone with this man. She was so conscious of her own innocence and of his delicate forbearance, she never once thought how humanity would raise its eyes and fairly cry upon her from the house tops. She did not realize that were she ever so pure and so innocent she could not now or ever reach the high position which Caesar, who was none too reputable himself,, would fain have his wife enjoy! C H A P T E R X V . The Man's Heart. Now, love produces both happiness and imbappiness, but on tbe whole I think tb* happiness predominates, for love itself if it be true and high is Us own reward. Love may feel itself unworthy and may shrink even from the unlatching of the shoe lace of the beloved, yet it Joys In its own existence nevertheless. Of coufse its grtatestMUsfaction Is i n tho return. passion for her. They are not necessary, they arc ail supererogatory, idle words. To him also love had been born in an hour. It had flashed into existence as if from the flat of the Divine. Oh, he had fought against it. Like the eremites of old he had been scourged into the desert by remorse and another passion, but time had done its worje. The woman he first loved had ministered not to the spiritual side of the man, or if she had so ministered In any degree it was because he had looked at her with a glamour of inexperience and youth. During those five years of solitude, of study arid of reflection, the truth had gradually unrolled itself before him. Conclusions vastly at variance with what he had ever believed possible as to the woman upon whom he had first bestowed his heart, bad got into his being and were in solution there; this present woman was the precipitant which brought them to life. He knew now what the old appeal of his wife had been. He knew now what the new appeal of this woman was. In humanity two things in life are inextricably intermingled, -body, and soul. Where tbe function of one begins and the function of the other ends no one is able to say. In a l l human passions are admixtures , of the earth earthy. We are born the sons of old Adam as we are reborn the sons of the New. Passions are complex. As in harvest wheat and, tares grow together until the end, so in love earth and heaven mingte ever. He remembered a clause from an ancient marriage service he had read. "With my body I thee worship," and with every fibre of bis physical being, be loved this woman. It would be idle to deny that, 1m* possible to disguise the facts, but in the melting pot of passion the pre* ponderant ingredient was mental and spiritual; and just because higher and holler things predominated, he held her in his heart a sacred thing. LOve is like a rose: the material part its the beautiful blossom; the spiritual factor is the fragrance which abides i n tho rooe Jar even after every leaf has fadthing, He could not be false to his purpose, false to her memory, unworthy of the passion in'which he believed she had held him and which he believed he had inspired. If he had gone out in the world, after her death he might have forgotten most of these things, he might have lived them down. Saner dearer views would have come to him. His morbid self reproach and self consciousness would have been changed. But he had lived with them alone for five years and now there was no putting them aside. Honor and pride, the only things that may successfully % flght against love, overcome him. He could not give way. He wanted to, every time he was in her presence he longed to sweep her to his heart and crush her in his arms and bend her head back and press Hps of ,fire on her lips. But honor and pride, held him back. How long would they continue to exercise dominion over him? Would the time come when his passion rising like a sea would thunder upon these artificial embankments of his soul, beat them down and sweep them away? At first the disparity between their situations, not so much upon account of family or of property*—the treasures of the mountains, hidden since) creation he had discovered andnlet l i o —but because of the youth and position of the woman compared to h i t own maturer years, his desperate ex* perience, and his social withdrawal had reinforced his determination to live and love without a Sign. But' b#> had long since got beyond? this. H a d he been free he" would have taken her like a viking of old, if he had to pluck her from amid a thousand swords and carry ber to a beggar's hut which love Would nave turned to a palace.

F R A N K C R A N E , Chicago H E N King Solomon built bis temple lie had set up in front of it two pillars, which he called Jachin and Boaz, meaning permanence and strength. The cunning artist, Hiram of Tyre, made the pillars, which must have been imposing, from the many references to them; and in the account in the book of Kings it is said: "And upon the top of the pillars was lily work; so was the work of the pillars finished." Lily work upon the pillars! It is a haunting word. All through the Justory of architecture men seem to have felt that the pillars of strength should be capped by the capitals of beauty. , The same law holds good in the realm of spiritual reality that holds good in the realm of material appearance. The law is that the end of strength is beauty, and the basis of beauty is strength. Virtue is pure strength; it is not usable in the temple of life until it becomes beautiful—that is, till it becomes love. Love is virtue—with lilv work. ) Contrariwise, mere amiability, tenderness, a pleasing face and manner, nvith no strength of character beneath, is nothing but lily work for its own £ake; hence cheap and unsatisfying. So also goodness is the pillar, joy the lily work. Joy without goodmess is moral tawdriness, and goodness without joy is moral crudeness. The puritans were all for pillar; the cavaliers were all for lily work. There has been a world long conflict between the moralist, seeking for strength and the artist seeking for beauty. Manly strength is not perfect; nor is womanly beauty; it is the union •of the two, the family, which is perfect. Cromwell and his Ironsides, smashing stained glass windows were pillars.

BABYIASHI I n f a n t s ' b o a r d e d f o p 0 3 TO #7PER WEEK AT A BIG PROMT BECA USE THEY REQUIRE LITTLE CARE * CHICAGO—"Baby farming" has extended as a profitable business in Chicago. The profits accrue from starved bodies, neglected and ill-treated children, homeless and dependent upon the ."farmer" with whom they are "boarded" at from three.'£0 seven dollars per week. Most of the "farms" are situated in districts where tumbling buildings are decaying in filth and neglect. The babies are helpless and have no right of selections; they must suffer in silence and often die from disease and neglect. The first baby farm visited by a re'"the attic, but I'll put your baby In the porter for the • Sunday Tribune waB kept by a middle-aged woman trying to care for eight or ten small children in cramped quarters and under poor conditions. Undoubtedly this woman meant well enough. But she heeded the money. She simply could not devote enough time to each child to give its little life a fighting chance. A "baby farm" does not mean a place where the grass is green and there are plenty of trees and cows, but a dingy flat in the "yards" or a four-room cottage on a corner where five car lines meet. There is nothing comfortable about a "baby farm" but the income of the woman, who often appears corpulent and luxurious in contrast to the emaciated infants In her charge. Here the babies are all teeth, long hair, and legs, they are so thin. They look like cadaverous blrdB, opening their mouths continuously for nourishment which they do not get Inspection Fear of Keepers. When a Tribune reporter went unbidden to one "baby farm" in the suburbs, the woman in charge turned pale and her Hps trembled. She almost dropped a bottle of soothing sirup she was carrying and gained control of herself only when told that the reporter had a baby to board. "0/* she said, taking a lopg breath. "1 thought won were from th* board of health. * They are inspeetin' the babies somethin' fierce. Don't allow more than four children to a house, they are gettin* so strict." Wails from several distressed voices floated down from the attic as she spoke, and there were five children in the room. It was one of those problems of two times two are five, which essayists used to write about in school on composition week. Mental calculation was> interrupted by the door bell. A pale mother, almost lost under a sailor hat, and 1n a cheap long coat, stood on the little stoop before the door. She wished to board her ten-days'-old baby, as she had to go to work in a restaurant tbe next day. A whispered conference followed In the doorway. The frail mother crossed the woman's palm with three pieces of silver before she hurried ofT to fetch her baby. Infante the Choice Boarders. "How old is your baby?" was asked. "A year old," I stammered, not knowing whether to make an^ fictitious child real young or not. Then I realized my mistake. and said: "I get five doUars a week for boardin' this one. She's gettin' her teeth and looks puny, but she's strong." "I'll pay you five dollars a week, but I must look over the place to see Just where the baby will sleep and what attention you can give it." The woman slanted her Bhrewd eyes and demurred, haggling for a bargain. "I hain't got much room. I have four children of my own, and there are my two boarders, my husband, and myself. My father lives with me, too. I can't take no more babies In most of tha time and don't bother me," she said, shaking the bottle of coidial significantly. parlor for seven dollars a week." I was afraid of the cats in the front room. Cats the Lesser Danger. "Nothin' is going to hurt your baby sleep in' down here," she insisted a little coldly, lifting her voice above the wails of the infants in the attic. "I've boarded children goin* on six years, and nothin' has ever happened to one of them." I insisted upon placing my child in the attic. Then she reluctantly led the way through the kitchen, where I discovered more children. A twoyear old boarder in a dirty dress rocked herself wearily near the range. Two other waifs stood on chairs, hacking at a loaf of bread lying on the mussy oilcloth on the kitchen table. A bare hack yard decorated with scraps of old iron and many tin cans could be seen its whole length to the high, unpainted board fence, through the open doorway. This is where the children play. I stumbled up the attic stairs behind the woman, who became wedged in the narrow passageway now and then and stopped to catch her breath. At last we reached the top. It was only a half room up there. I could stand ur> straight only when I gained the middle of the room. On a bed In a dark corner lay eight babies, half undressed, and crying and squirming in uncleanliness. Empty milk bottles and dirty clothes were scattered over the floor. The one window in the attic was closed securely* by a nail. I hurried down. All for the Greed of Money! Eight babies in the attic, eight below, four children of her own, two boarders, an aged father, her husband, and herself to care for, all living in four rooms and an attic, this is what the greed for money had led one woman to. Besides, she washed and' ironed and did all her housework while caring for the boarding babies. A bleak wall on an unpaved street was tbe exterior of a certain "baby farm" in a third floor fiat down in the "yards." Pushing the button above the speaking tube i n the middle of the wall. I listened. % "Who's there?" came down through the mouthpiece. "I wish to come up." "Take the back stairs," came the answer. Following the broken boardN*alk. I squeezed between two walls and climbed the rickety back stairs. The surprised German maid announced the way down on the street car.) AH I had to 40'$t the ittJfifld "fcabj farm" was to look around. , r, ' Roojn fn General t&lsarrafc • On the -floor in the kitchen lay four babies kicking first one pink sock in the air and then a white one. I noticed that the stockings of most of the habiea were not mates. On the kitchen table stood three clothes baskets, and in* each was an infant wailing plteously. In the corners, on chairs, beside the kitchen range, hanging like cocoons everywhere were baskets with babies sleeping on pillows turned brown from uncleanliness. There were nine in the kitchen alone. In the next room were _ more frail babies, howling from their gocarts, cribs, and baskets. And in the front room more babies cried. A n infant covered by a mosquito bar lay apart. She bad sore eyes. Milk Not Even Boiled. A seventeen-year-old mother Btood leaning over a sleeping baby in the parlor. "He's mine. Hie name is Fred," she whispered. "Doesn't he look bad? They almost killed him after I left him here six weeks. He was SO neglected that he had spasms. I had to give up my work in the factory and watch him for three weeks. He's still thin. The doctor said he was starving by inches. "One time when I came to visit him I found' him drinking raw milk that had not been boiled. Another time when I came unexpectedly to see my baby I found a strange baby wearing my baby's clotheB. "The superintendent of the 'baby farm' is cruel to the older children. She's too strict, doesn't allows them to jPlay in the yard, and maizes them sit ra a chair all jlay when she is around. She sends them off to school without breakfast, and they have only bread and molasses for lunch. One morning I had a spare hour before I had to be at the factory. I ran down to see my baby. I did not see the alder children eating breakfast. I asked Mary, the oldest child, if she had had her breakfast. She answered that none of the children had. "As a punishment, the superintendent of the 'baby farm' makes the children stand in a corner for hours when they are naughty. She has a dark closet for the mischievous ones. She pours castor oil and other lubricants down the throats of youngsters who tell falsehoods or washes their mouths out with strong soap to keep them from telling 'stories.' They must play in/ a subdued way in the kitchen, if they play at all." Little incentive to Laughter. I glanced at the three little girls and the one little boy sitting around the kitchen table stacking a deck of greasy playing cards. They looked as if they never smiled. The maid fished a bottle of milk from the tin boiler, full of hot water, on the kitchen range. She carried it into the second room. A loud scream of pain came from the second room. The seventeen-year-old mother and I ran to the rescue of the Infant in distress. The mother reached the child first. She cooled the hot bottle of milk under a faucet in the kitchen. "How they attend to babies, giving them boiling milk," snapped the mother, trying to relieve the burned child'e pain, while the maid mumbled: "I know how the milk should be. It's not too hot." It is usually one long, hard struggle with neglect and continuous discomfort for the children. Two infants were killed from underfeeding at one "farm," the records show; one child is whipped with a rawhide by an attendant, the mother claimed; a Saby's fingers were burned: an infant was scalded on the side when the mother called for a visit. Anyhow, the sixteen infants In this "baby farm" in the third floor flat down in the "yards" looked like plants kept away frothe sun. Many Reasons for Seclusion. The children are kept housed for many reasons; because the neighbors do not like to have so many children around, and give the superintendent of a "baby farm" trouble, in finding a flat* because there is danger from contagious disease when infants are taken abroad, or because the woman "farmer" is too proud to let It b< known that she boards babies for r living. One proprietor of a "baby farm" has four grown daughters who are devotees of fashion. These daughters object to the "baby farm" and the infants, although they have no compunctions against spending the in come from this source.

In answer to Comrade Riley I will give a condensed report from Colonel Noble (Third Iowa cavalry) to Adjutant General Baker of Iowa, writes W. E. Hayden of Portland, Ore., i n the National Tribune, which ought to satisfy him as to the part the cavalry took at Brioe's Crossroads: "Headquarters Third Iowa cavalry, Near Memphis, Tenn, August 9, 1864. "Sir: I have the honor to report as to the part taken by the Third Iowa cavalry.in the expedition unoer Gen. Sturgis. Approaching Brice's Crossroads, at 11 a. m.f this command went into line of -battle by battalion on the right of the main road, and soon after the artillery opened in front. We then advanced beyond Brice's about 600 yards. After forming in line with the balance of the brigade the cavalry waa dismounted and the horses sent to the rear. Soon after we became heavily* engaged with the enemy, and held them in check for an hour. On the left of our brigade the enemy was driven back three different times. At this Juncture my whole command was relieved by. regiments of infantry, and was retiring when the infantry became engaged. We formed a new line ini their rear, rather than to appear to leave them in an emergency. "The contest lasted but a short time after this, i n d the enemy was hotly pressing his victory, and we took a second position, mounted, to protect the retreating column. A column of squadrons was again formed facing: the enemy and retired by alternate; squadron, keeping the enemy in check. "Our greatest difficulty was to cros& the Bwamp in our rear, and in it were caught most of the artillery and traini of the army. Arriving at Stubbs' plantation, we rested from 11 p. m, to % a. m., when we again moved toward' Ripley, holding the rear. . At Rfpley I found the infantry filling the streets,, and was notified that the enemy was; about to attack on the left. I formed a column of squadrons, faced to therear, and at the same time was ordered to support the Fourth Iowa cavalry, then in action. Deploying a battalion, I or^tred it to the rear, and at tbe same time pushed forward another battalion in column to hold the road£ ot retreat for the other troops. My ad- We Formed a New Line In the Rear* vance in line was made under sevei fire, but officers and men were cool and kept a steady line. The enemy was checked and the position held until his object attained. Then General. ' GrierBon ordered me to retire. "To retire was difficult, for the enemy, having no resistance elsewhere*, were flanking as well as pressing from the rear. Their fire was redoubled aa we moved again upon the road.

Clode Oh the evening of the twenty-third of December I was one of a party at bridge at the residence of Baron AdolphyVoa Hubert on Eighty-sixth street. The baron was the American agent of the Berlin banking house of Weissell & Co. The little party on this evening consisted of Madame von Hubert, the baron, Winfleld Gerry and myself. Young Gerry, who went everywhere among people of leisure, was taken to be enormously rich. His brother, Marcus Gerry, was certainly one of the wealthiest men in New York. He was the largest stockholder, and financial dictator, of the Fifty-eighth National bank. Winfleld Gerry was under thirty, a courtly young fellow, almost as handsome as a girl. He was extravagant, daring, it was said, and reckless. He had been brought up from boyhood on the continent, I think, and was colored with the Latin temperament. I do not remember ever to have been so fortunate at cards as on this evening. When we arose from the table, I had won $700, of which sum the baron lost two hundred. The remainder was the loss of Winfleld Gerry. I was glad of this distribution of the loss. Young Gerry was reputed an idle young fellow with millions at his finger tips. The baron, keeping his money, like a Teuton, in gold, handed me ten double- eagles. Mr. Gerry said that he would give me a check at the club, and asked me to ride down town with him in his carriage. We were scarcely seated before he turned to me and said, in a quiet, even voice, as though he were announcing a score: "I can't pay you, Mr. Parks." I turned in astonishment to see if he was jesting. The electric light in the carriage showed me a face distressingly drawn and tired. There was no pleasantry behind that countenance. The solution came to me instantly. This man, posing as a gentleman, w a s ' i n fact a cad; he was about to question the regularity of the game, the regularity of a friendly sitting at bridge in the house of such people as the von Huberts. I bristled with indignation. "And may I inquire," 1 answered frigidly, "why is it that you cannot pay me, Mr. Gerry?" The man did not at once reply. He took a cigarette from his pocket, lighted it and leaned back on the cushions of the carriage. "For the best reason in the world, Mr. Parks," he answered; "I have at this moment, to be en rely accurate, Just two hundred and thirty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents." I was greatly relieved. " M y dear sir," I laughed, "I do not expect you to carry about a cash drawer. I knew an Englishman once* whose income was something like a hundred thousand sterling, and who did not have a shilling in his pocket from one year's end to the other. I should be glad of your check. I should be glad of any "You are alone there," he said simply. My annoyance returned. I detest passagea at banter. "I trust," I said, "tfcat j?ou wttl permit me to understand you." "It would be better, I have no doubt," he said, looking me evenly in the face. "I have not intended to be either obscure or facetious. The sum which I have just mentioned represents all the money that I have in the world. My reputation for wealth is a mere shell. I owe ninety-five thousand dollars, exclusive of this little debt to you. Stable and tailor bills, various club dues, run fifteen hundred more* I owe twelve hundred i n overdrafts. It is near a Irandred thousand, you see. Against this, I have perhaps five thousand dollars of personal effects; horses worth thirty-five hundred and a bundle of worthless stocks. I am beastly poor, atrociously poor, you see, Mr. Parks." , I listened in astonishment. ' "You will doubtless put me down a cad," he went on, "to Join a game of bridge when I had not the money to pay my losses. In fact, I did not intend to play. I called, intending to make my excuses to the baroness and depart I found this politely impossible, and I sat, down to the table hoping that two hundred dollars would cover my proportion of probable loss/' He paused and made a deprecating gesture. "It was no idle fancy of the ancients to picture fortune a woman. 1 might have known." Then he stopped, stripped o ? his gloves, took out hjs purse, removed two rings* unhooked a Jewel from his tie, and, before I realized what he was doing, handed them all to me. I put back his hand. He thrust the articles into Ws waistcoat ^pocket and dropped his hand on his knee. "I thank you for the courtesy," he said, "but you would much better take them. They will presently be listed by the referee in bankruptcy. One Brazilian diamond, two* and a half carats, valued at three hundred dollars. One imitation ruby, valued at fifty dollars. One baroque pearl, valued tit twenty-five dollars. The very " i s mostly sham. I am a rather pretense, Mr. Parks." w«s little to say, and I said it wttlr.tlie best grace I could gather —the ; | p * J f . 'platitudes. Something would t*rfc rip i n the morning, wealthy friends were i n abundance. I mentioned his brother, Marcus Gerry. He said the name over slowly after me, "Marcus Gerry." Then his lips set evenly along his fine, sensitive mouth. But only for a moment. He gave me a swift glance and began to laugh. "My brother is all right, you know; but he is a commercial factor. His financial sense is sound. A rotten ship is a rotten ship. The captain of it cannot matter a two-pence. Let him step down and off, and the hull go to Davy Jones. Pension the captain perhaps, but cut loose from the derelict. That's Marcus Gerry. That's the sane view." x We were down town now. The carriage was turning into Fifth avenue. The young man touched, the driver's button. "This is your club, Mr. Parks, I believe," he said. "I am obliged by your kindness. Won't you let me give you the gewgaws?" "By no means," I answered, getting out of the cab. "Please do me the courtesy to forget our game of bridge." He laughed pleasantly. "Oh, I shall forget it, thank you. Seafaring folk at Bremen say the cable ought always to read, 'Der Kapitah ging mit seinem Schiffe r unter.'" Then he spoke to the driver and closed the carriage door. I went into the club and got a pony of brandy, a cigar and a chair by the fire. I was greatly sorry for young Gerry. He was an exceedingly pleasant fellow. Still, I could do nothing. I had thought the matter over fully. I could, of course, bring him to Randolph Mason, but of what use was that? There was no balance of injustice to^be squared up here. A reckless young spendthrift, come to the end of his tether, was all. Mason would have that fact out in a twinkle, and close the door in his face. It was out of the question to fool him. He would pick a man like a vulture at a bone till he got to the marrow. I threw the cigar into the fire. Anyway, Marcus Gerry would doubtless pension the captain of the rotten ship. AL the worst, he would probably be better off than the moBt of us. Then I recalled the German sentence. "Heinrich," I said to the club steward, "what is 'Der Kapitan ging mit seinem Schiffe unter?'" "Der Captain vent down mit his ship," replied the man. A great light came to me. I went over to the table and write on my card, "Come to Randolph Mason tomorrow at eleven. The* old Field mansion off Broadway, below Wall street." Then I sent it to his address by messenger. That would at least gain time; and perhaps the boy would give up the idea of suicide. Then I took another pony of brandy and walked to my lodgings. I was a little late in arriving on Broadway the morning after the game of bridge. As I stopped to open the old iron gate to Randolph Mason's house, Winfleld Gerry came across from Wajl street and joined me. K e looked well-groomed and wholesome. We entered the house and crossed the wide hall to the old-time drawingroom, now used for an office. As I threw back the mahogany door, I observed Randolph Mason leaning over the table in the middle of the room. He straightened up, cast a steady, searching glance at young Gerry that ran swiftly over him to his feet, then turned abruptly and walked into the adjoining room, closing the foldingdoors behind him. We entered and young Gerry took a chair by the window. "Was that Randolph Mason?" he said. I answered that it was. "Until I saw his face," he continued, "I could have sworn that it was Liebach, the greatest surgeon in Europe. He has Liebacb's banW too. But the resemblance vanishes when he looked up. This man's lean, sinewy, protruding jaw is almost a menace. He ls not as gray as Liebach, either; and, besides that, Liebach has, once in a while, something gentle i n his face, if they do call him the 'Wolf,' in Munich. This man's face looks metallic, as though it f l i g h t ring if you struck it." 1 laughed, tossed him the morning paper, and begged him to excuse me while I can over the morning mail. I was scarcely seated before Pietro appeared, saying that Mr. Mason wished to see me. I arose and went into the adjoining room. Randolph .Mason sat at his table, his elbow on the writing-pad and his chin propped in the hollow of his hand. Before him was a square sheet from his memoranda* files. He began to volley questions in a voice that snapped like the click of a gun-barrel into its block. "Is Wilder acquitted?" "Yes," I answered; "a per curiam opinion yesterday. The mandate will come down from the United States circuit court of appeals, Monday.1 ' "The Atlantic*Canadian Securities?" "Returned out of court, coupons paid up, costs assumed by the syndicate." "Andre Dessausure?" "Dead," I replied. At the word. Mason turned over the memorandum sheet on the table, folded his armis and stared vacantly at tbe rows of bookcases lining the wall. JjPfcia was the enemy beyond J*im. The State department waited a day too long. . The little 'Frenchman had taken to his brazier of charcoal like an impulsive son of the Quartier Latin, and Mason had failed.' I seized this opportune mood to get an audience for young Gerry. "Mr. Mason," I said, "in the next room is another man booked to the same shipping-point." He turned sharply in his chair. "Bring him i n / ' he said. I opened the door and requested the young man to come into this private office, although I had little hope that Randolph Mason would even hear his history to the end. I had no hope of his assistance for young Gerry; his case had none of the elements of uncorrected injustice, bringing it within Mason's zone of interest. I expected to see Mason search him mercilessly for a moment, and then drop him as a prospector would a spurious nugget. Young Gerry entered and remained standing by one of the bookcases near the table. Mason looked at him carefully for a moment; then he s%id> "How much do you owe?" Winfiefd Gerry glanced quizzically at me. I reassured him with a nod and he answered, "In round numbers, one hundred thousand dollars." "For what?" said Maso%, "Borrowed money," replied Gerry. "For what?" Mason repeated. The young man hesitated; then he said, "I am thought to be rather reckless where money matters are concerned. Horses that5 are not fast "I came here with no such plan. I came, in fact, merely to put in the morning/* There was something sinister i n the way he spoke of the morning—like a convicted prisoner, coming up to be sentenced at the afternodn sitting of a court, s ' "Where is this man, Egan Bedford?" said Randolph Mason. Winfleld Gerry lifted his face in surprise. "You surely know Egan Bedford," he said; "he is the richest broker in Boston. Egan Bedford & Co. is the firm name; but there 1B no firm and no company, it's all Egan Bedford. He posed a few years as a financial unfortunate, then he gradually brought out the covered funds. Today he is one of the largest private bankers In Massachusetts." Then he added, wearily, "The Bcheme of things seems to require a hell. Matters must be adjusted somewhere." "This one will be adjusted here," said Mason. Young Gerry smiled somewhat bitterly/ "Snch" a thing is impossible," he said; "quite impossible." Randolph Mason ignored the words. His face lost its gleaming vitality, as though a curtain were lowered behind it shutting out the light. The effect on Winfleld Gerry was instantly noticeable. The atmosphere of stress was lifted. He stretched out his limbs, and looked curiously about him at the rows of bookcases along the wall, the oriental rug on the floor, Ihe scattered volumes on the table, quite as if Randolph Mason had walked out of the room. Then he turned as if to go into the outer office. He was half facing the door, when Mason's chin went up. with bis houses that you are about to draw a series of checks on the Fiftyeighth National bank of New York, which you wish him to cash and for which you will pay him the usual commercial discount. "Also tell him that you have no deposit in the Fifty-eighth National bank subject to check, but that this bank will arrange with him about meeting the checks, and to take the matter up with it at once. Ypu will say nothing more, and leave the bank. "On the next day begin to present your checks, payable to yourself and drawn on the Fifty-eighth National bank of New York. These checks will be made out for amounts, respectively, in your statement of debts. With the money, as you receive it from each check, you will at once pay that creditor in full, This you will continue until all the creditors are paid. It ought not to require longer than a fortnight." Mason arose as though to dismiss the audience with young Gerry; then he added, "You will remember to do exactly as I say; do you understand that?" < "I understand," replied the young man in amazement. "But the thing is impossible. The Fifty-eighth National bank will never shoulder such a loss. These debts aggregate $300,000." "The Fifty-eighth National bank of New York," said Mason, "will not lose a dollar." "Then," cried Gerry, now utterly incredulous, "I do not know how under heaven Egan Bedford can be got to cash the checks!" "Jt is sufficient that I know," said Mason. Then he got up abruptly and walked out of the room. I was not present at the conference of Marcus Gerry with Randolph Mason. He came on Tuesday evening, when I was at the Cloverdale Hunt German. By request from Mason, Coleman Stratton, Mr. Gerry's counsel* breast. He waived his fat arm at enough, women that are too fast; usually an explanation Is required to go no further." I could readily see that he was hoping to evade this query. "What'is the truth about it?" said Mason. Young Gerry shifted his feet uneasily. "Well*" he began weakly, ''won't that do for an explanation? How can it matter, anyway? The money is gone." Mason continued monotonously to repeat his question. The young man seemed to go through that period of uncertainty and hesitation common to the court witness who finds himself forced by the examiner either to make a clean breast of his story or stubbornly refuse to answer anything at all. He chewed his lips nervously, fumbled with the buttons on his waistcoat and stroked gently the angle of his jaw. Mason waited without apparent interest. Finally, he arrived at his conclusion. He dropped his hand as with a gesture of resignation. "Very well," he said; "this is the whole truth: My father and Egan Bedford were financial partners. One day Bedford borrowed all the money he could get in Wall street on the firm's credit, and apparently used it in an unsuccessful effort to hold up a line of rotten securities, while in fact he secreted the money. A little later the firm failed. Bedford cleared himseirbf the wreck i n bankruptcy. My father paid up the losses out of his private fortune as far as he could. When he died I assumed the remainder of the loss, about two hundred thousand dollars. I Have paid half of it; but I can go no further." He dropped his Hand limply on his knee, as he had done the evening before in his carriage. Again I was astonished at the contradiction which Winfleld Gerry presented. I studied his face. It was drawn and tired, as it had been last night I had been wrong about him, wrong about his character, his habits and the causes of his unfortunate situation. This boy was breaking at the knees under the burden of another's wrong. I understood him now. The air of recklessness was assumed to explain these debts. H e was playing the loose spendthrift, while he strc*e to cjear his -father's name and to return what Bedford had stolen. 1 . young Gerry pulled himself to* gether. "I hardly realize why I have laid this matter open," he continued; Instantly he fell into an attitude of attention. "Are you related to Marcus Gerry?" said Mason. The young man crossed the floor and sat down in a chair. "He is my brother," he replied. "Then," said MaBon, "this thing is child's play." The old listless cloud settled again over Winfleld Gerry's face. "Mr. Mason," he said, "there Is no hope in that quarter. My brother, Marcus Gerry, 1B not a sentimentalist, as I am. He is a practical person. When one gets a dollar from Marcus Gerry, he leaves two in unquestioned securities until he comes back with the loan. His instincts are those of a banker, human until it comes to tbe money sacks. Do not misunderstand me. My brother would promptly knock down the man who assailed my name in his presence. He would go up to the door of state's prison to crush my enemy. He would grind every moral precept into pulp to pull me out of a hole; but he would not pay out a hundred thousand dollars, nor a hundred dollars, nor one dollar, to wipe out this debt which 1 have assumed. I have gone over this matter more than once with him. He i s lying in wait for Egan Bedford. He has gone to great pains to cultivate amicable relations with him. Bedford & Co. has become tbe Boston correspondent of the Fifty-eighth National bank, which belongs to my brother. Marcus Gerry will repay Bedford i n his own good time when tbe hour finally comes." "It has come," said Mason. Then he leaned forward in his chair and looked Winfleld Gerry steadily in the face, as one does with a child when he wishes to impress upon him the importance of some direction. "Young man," he said, "attend accurately to what I am about to say. You will at once make a careful and correct estimate of the amounts owed by the estate of your father and yourself by reason of Egan. Bedford. W i s statement must be correct. Not a cent more, not a cent less, than the exact sum. You will at once dispose of any property you have in New York, and on next Monday go to Boston and open an office as a broker. Before the end of the week you will receive a telegram from Marcus Gerry authorizing you to follow ray directions. On receipt of it go at once to the banking house of Egan Bedford & Co., and say tor Mr. Bedford that you wish to establish a temporary ljne of.credit and that of the Fifty-eighth National bank, accompanied him. I have ^it from Pietro that the conference ran up to midnight and that half tbe books in the private office were on the floor in the morning. At twelve o'clock Marcus Gerry sent a telegram to his brother, saying to go ahead as Mason had directed. Pietro took this telegram to the Western Union office on Broadway. When he returned he passed Marcus Gerry's carriage leaving the house. So the Gideon sign arrived in Boston before it was required. I know accurately what followed . On Monday morning Winfleld Gerry went to the banking house of Egan^Bedford & Co. and explained to Mr. Bedford what he wished to do, as Randolph Mason haU directed. Bedford requested Gerry to return the next morning. He then called up the Fifty-eiRhth National bank by telephone and inquired about the checks. The bank replied that Winfleld Gerry had no deposit there, but that it would guarantee the payment of his checks up to $300,000, and to send it all the checks together by Adams express at the close of banking hours on Saturday. Bedford replied that this arrangement was satisfactory; but he required it sent to him by cipher telegram and also by letter, which was accordingly done. The next morning young Gerry presented his checks, which were cashed. This he continued to do, until on Thursday evening he had drawn out $297,000 and had paid all the creditors of his fa« "I believed said M t S t r a t t o ^ ^ h a t i the Fifty-eighth National bank held;: no deposit upon which these cheeks . could be drawn." A light of cunning came into Epan Bedford's face. "I know that," he said; "but the bank is better than any man's account. I made the bank stand goc^Ior the checks,". '_. ; "How?" said Stratton, and I thought there was the faintest shadow ot a smile fitting about the corners of hie eyes. Bedford's broad face lighted with victory. He thrust his band into the bosom of his coat, took out a letter and a telegram and spread on* the table. "There," he said, "is the bank's guaranty in black and white and yellow." Then he added, with a sneer, "I guess your bank's not broke; is it?" The lawyer moved some papers until he found a printed statement. "The' bank," he said, "has assets valued at thirty-five millions of dollars; its liabilities are some ten millions. That would be, I believe, twenty-five millions above insolvency." "Then," said Bedford, ul want my money." "Doubtless," replied Stratton. Bedford exploded with anger. "I am tired of this confounded nonsense!" he shouted. "If the bank won't pay these checks, I will sue it." "Then you will lose," replied the lawyer quietly. "Lose!" cried Bedford. "The bank guaranteed these checks, 1 tell yoa. There is the guaranty; don't you see it?" and he pushed the papers across the table with his fat hand. "I see it," said the lawyer; "but i t is not worth filing room." "What?" shouted Bedford. "This guaranty of the Fifty-eighth National bank," continued Stratton, "is utterly void." Bedford plunged back on his heels like a man struck violently in the his counsel, whom he hitherto had Ignored. "Judge," he gurgled, -judge, do you hear that?" Judge Hacker, whose knowledge of the law is s a i d to equal t h a t of any practitioner in New York, arose and came over to the table. He nodded to us, then he spoke quietly to his confrere in the law. "Stratton," he said, "give me accurately your position in t h i B matter." Coleman Stratton touched an electric button, scribbled a memorandum on a scrap of paper and handed It to the office boy who entered. Then he turned to Judge**Hacker. "This contract of the Fifty-eighth National bank with Egan Bedford & Co. is one purely of guaranty, and is ultra vires on the part of the bank. The Revised Statutes of t b e United States g i v e a national bank no authority to guarantee the debts o f another. A national bank, as you are aware, cannot exercise powers in excess ot those .conferred upon it by statute. Egan Bedford & Co. and, for that, all persons equally with the bank are bound to take notice of the statute. The guaranty is void and the bank is not liable." Judge Hacker listened attentively. "Have you the Revised Statutes?" he said. "Yes," replied Stratton, haadfng him the volume. "Section 513*.w Judge Hacker opened the book on the table and began to read it carefully.

I hadn't the heart to forbid i t If I can be of any service to you, ma'am either in the capacity ot a friend—or professionally— I trust you will not hesitate to command me—" The judge backed toward the door. "Did you walk out, Judge Price?" asked Betty kindly. "Nothing more than a healthful exercise— but we will not detain you, ma'am; the pleasure of seeing you ls something we had not reckoned on!" The judge's speech was thick amd unctuous with good feeling. He wished that Mahaffy might have been there to note the reserve and dignity of his deportment. "But you must let me order luncheon for you," said Betty. A t least this questionable old man was good to Hannibal. "I couldn't think of it, ma'am—" "You'll have a glass of wine, then," urged Betty hospitably. For the moment she had lost sight of what was clearly the judge's besetting sin. The Judge paused abruptly. He endured a moment of agonizing irresolution. "€m the advice of my physician 1 dare not touch wine—gout, ma'am, and liver—but this restriction does not apply to corn whisky—in moderation, and as a tonic—either before meals, immediately after meals or at any time between meals—always keeping in mind the idea of its tonic properties—" The judge seemed to mellow and ripen. This was much better than having the dogs sicked on you! His manner toward Betty became almost fatherly. Poor young thing, so lonely and desolate in the midst o f all this splendor—be surreptitiously wiped away a tear, and when little Steve presented himself and was told to bring wnlsky, audibly smacked his Dps—a whole Jot better, surely! "I am sorry you think you must hurry away, Judge Price," said Betty. She still retained the small brown hand Hannibal had thrust into hers. "The eastern mall gets in today, ma'am, and I have reason to think my share of It will be especially heavy, for it brings the bulk of my professional correspondence." In ten years the judge had received Just: one communication by mail—a bi\i which had followed him through four states and seven counties. "I expect my secretary—" boldly fixing Solomon Mahaffy's status, "is already dipping into It; an excellent assistant, ma'am, but literary rather than legal." Little Steve reappeared bearing a silver tray on whic^ was a decanter aad glass. "Siuce you insist, ma'am," the Judge poured himself a drink, "my best respects—" he bowed profoundly. Bowen, who has been here—since—** her voice broke suddenly. "I understand, ma'am," said the judge soothingly. ; He gave her a glance of great concern and turned to Hannibal. "Dear lad, you'll be very quiet and obedient, and do exactly aB Miss Malroy says? When shall 1 come for him, ma'am?" "I'll send him to you when he ls ready to go home. I am thinking of visiting my friends In North Carolina, and I should like to have him spend as much time as possible with me before I start for the east." It had occurred to Betty that she had done little or nothing for the child; probably this would be her last opportunity. The state of the Judge's feelings was such that with elaborate absence of mind he poured himself a second drink of whisky; and that there should be no doubt the act was one of Inadvertence, said again, "My best respects, ma'am," and bowed as before. Putting down the glass, he backed toward the door. "I trust you will not hesitate to call upon me if I can be of any use to you, ma'am—a message will bring me here without a moment's delay." He was rather disappointed that no allusion had been made to his recent activities. Her reasoned correctly that Betty was as yet in ignorance ot the somewhat dangerous eminence he had achieved as the champion of law and order. However, he reflected with satisfaction that Hannibal, to remaining, would admirably serve his ends. Betty insisted that he should be driven home, and after faintly protesting, the judge gracefully yielded the point, and a few moments later roiled away from Belle Plain behind a pair of sleek-coated bays, with a negro in livery on the box. He was con scleras of a great sense of exaltation. He felt that he should paralyze Mahaffy. He even temporarily forgot the blow his hopes had sustained when Betty spoke of returning to North Carolina. This was life—broad acres and niggers— principally to trot after you toting liquor—and such liqruor!—he lolled back luxuriantly with halfclosed eyes. "Twenty ,years in the wood If an hour!" he muttered. "I'd like to have just such a taste In my. mouth when I come to die and probably she has barrels of It!" he sighed deeply, and searched his soul for words with which adequately to describe that whisky to Mahaffy. But why not do more than paralyze Solomon—that would be pleasant but not especially profitable. The judge came back quickly to the vexed problem of his future. He desired to make some striking display of Miss Malroy's courtesy. He knew that his Especially Valuable on the Farm anc Comparatively Cheap to Construct— Some Good Points Noted in Its Favor. Many farmers are using concrete for the making of walks, fence poets and stock tanks, but this article describes a new use for this valuable material—the construction of refrigerators from concrete mixture.

The judge considered the matter. A t least he could let people see something of that decent respect with which Miss Malroy treated him. They were entering Raleigh now, and he ordered the coachman to pull his horses down to a walk. He h*d decided to make use of the Belle Plain turnout in creating an atmosphere of confidence and trust—especially trust. To this end be spent the best part of an hoar interviewing his creditors. It amounted almost to a mass-meeting of the adult male population, for he had no favorites. When he invaded virgin territory he believed in starting the largest pos- Interlor Arrangement.

Hannibal had devoted himself loyally to the Judge's glorification, and Betty heard all about the letter, the snuffing of the candles and the reward of five thousand dollars. It vastly increased the child's sense of importance and satisfaction when he discovered she had known nothing of these matters until he told her of them. "Why, where would Judge Price get so much money, Hannibal?" she asked, greatly astonished. "He won't have tu get it, Miss Betty; Mr. Mahaffy says he don't reckon no one will ever Jell who wrote the letter—he 'lows, the man who done that will keep pretty mum—he Just dessent tell!" the boy explained. "Np, 1 suppose not—" and Betty saw that perhaps, after all, the judge had not assumed any very great financial responsibility. j"He can't be a coward, though, Hannibal!" she added, for she understood that the risk of personal 'Violence which he ran was genuine.

"I wouldn't withhold hxD$© from any man, Solomon; it's the cheapest thing in tbe world and the one thing we are most miserly about extending to our fellows. These people all feel better—and what did It cost me?— Just a little decent consideration; just the knowledge of what the unavoidable associations of ideas In their own minds would do far them!" What had seemed the corpse of credit breathed again, and the Judge and Mahaffy immediately embarked upon a characteristic celebration. Early candle-light found them making a beginning; midnight came—the gray and purple of dawn—rand they were still at it, back of closed dodrs and shuttered windows. 060 A • WOOD ' The Complete Box. water from dampness does not form and drop on contents, as with other kinds.

Got His Answer. When Oscar Wilde came to the ynited States to lecture on aesthetics in his highly aesthetic velvet costume— and incidentally to prepare the public mind for the proper appreciation of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience," in which the aesthetic movement was held up to ridicule—he used to complain that America was very uninteresting since it had "no antiquities and no curiosities." But he ventured on this disparagement once too often, for in the course of his travels he uttered it to the American Girl, And she replied with the demure depravity of candid innocence that this was not quite a fair reproach, since f'we shall have the antiquities in time, and we are already importing the curiosities." 6RI&U THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE* S | O C £ A * L U * * H l A f t f t t m W Carrying It Too Far.

For the purpose of answering briefly onr many inquiries about Bordeaux mixture and its use, it will be sufficient to say that in 1886 a great Iture which may now by termed the "Normal" or 1.6 per cent Bordeaux mixture and the following ls the conv> i positidh; ... ,. , \ f Copper sulphate ,6 pounds Quicklime *....4 pounds Water . . . . . . . 4 5 gallons To Make Bordeaux Mixture. The "Normal" or 1.6 per cent Bordeaux mixture is made by dissolving 6 pounds of sulphate of copper i n 32 gallons of water, while in another vessel 4 pounds of lime is slacked in 13 gallons of water; the two liquids are then slowly mixed and the preparation is ready for use. « It is Interesting as well as important to known that while Bordeaux mixture is our most valuable fungicide it also possesses a marked insecticidal value, as ^tea-beetles appear to be most easily Overcome or driven away b^ this preparation. No farm or garden, no matter how s^mall, can be considered fully equipped without a supply of Bordeaux mixture and suitable apparatus for applying it.—Illinois Farmers'' Institute.

The composition of the "Standard" or 3.6 per cent Bordeaux mixture is as follows: Copper sulphate 6 pounds Quicklime 4 pounds Water 22 gallons This formula was at first extensively used, but it was found that a more dilute mixture would answer the purpose equally as well, as it was practically abandoned for the mix- The dried sugar beet pulp is a most excellent feed, and, like silage and roots, more valuable than a chemical analysis seems tp indicate. The pulp is almost as valuable, pound for pound, as the original beets from which it comes. The pulp is soaked in water a few hours before feeding. One peck of pulp when soaked will make a good bucket of thick slop. The usual ration for a cow is one peck of the soaked pulp mixed with two quarts of corn chop and two quarts of wheat bran, fed morning and evening. After this is eaten the cows are given a forkful of mixed hay, with straw a t n o o n . The cows f e d t h i 9 ration give a large quant i t y of good, rich, well-flavored milk and fatten up fit for the market with four months' feeding. Cows that will come fresh in the edrly sprtng should be allowed to go dry at least four weeks before calving. Dry cows can be kept In good, thrifty condition on chaffed cornstalks and oat straw, with one quart of corn chop to a bushel of chaff. Those giving mtlfc should get a bucket of warm slop twice a day to each, made by mixing one pint of corn chop, one pint of linseed meal and one quart o f wheat b V a n , in addition to mixed feed. Keep the stables clean, well lighted and ventilated. A l l stock, cows especially, should be carded and brushed down every morning. Stock cattle and young stock are less liable to have skin diseases If the h}de is thoroughly cleansed and kept fri>? from scarf or dandruff. A little wrude petroleum rubbed over bare* spots will soften the skin and promote the growth of hair. This oil Is excellent for cuts and sores. First wash the sore with warm water and castile soap, wipe dry with clean cloth and then rub i n the oil.

It so happened that foxguments with the umpire were quite! skins were worth fljje dollars at that 632 N . 6th St., Terre Haute, Ind.— "My little nephew, a boy of four years, had a breaking out on his face. It was little red spots at first, then hie would rub and scratch and water blisters would form, and wherever the water would run another would come until his face was covered with them. He would cry and fret. His mother got some medicine, but it did not do any good. He would scream and cry and say it hurt. We hardly knew him, his litle face was all red spots and blisters. So I begged him to let me put some Cuticura Ointment on them. The next morning I made a strong s,oap suds with Cuticura Soap and washed his face in the warm suds. The lfttle blisters burst by pressing the cloth on them. After I had his face washed, I put the Cuticura Ointment on and in a short.time his little face was all red and dry. I kept using the Cuticura Soap and putting on the Cuticura Ointment and his face got as well and it did not leave a_scar; He v^as entirely cured in atiout one week and a half."

John, he was interrupted by, "You have bragged about that fox hunt long enough. You shot the fox, sold the skin and got five dollars. I wrote a little account of the hunt, and got $75 from the magazine which published it. So there you are!" The Other Way 'Round. A good little story, long current in England, is just now gaining American circulation. It has for leading characters Rudyard Kipling and Dorothy Drew, Mr. Gladstone's little grandchild. Kipling was visiting HaWarden, and, being fond of children, devoted himself to little Miss Dorothy until her , anxious mother expressed the hope that the child had fot been wearying the great author. "Oh, no, mamma," spoke up Dorothy, before any one else had a chance to say anything, "but you have no idea how Mr. Kipling has been wearying me!" Child's Fear of the Dark. If mothers notice that the brains of very susceptible organization and the sights and thoughts from the shadows of a room more or less dark, let the light burn -brightly. To force a child to become accustomed to the darkness is a grave error, if its nervous system is so organized that this forcing ls productive of a fright, The nervous system of a child is a very susceptible organization ond the deleterious impressions made upon it will often make their influence felt throughout its whole after life. If the child asks for a light under such circumstances do not refuse it. Lots of people are morw anxious to pay their social obligations than their debts. Liquid blue Is a weak solution. Avoid It.

W. H. Callaffhan of Tyrone having beard the report and desirous of knowinc the exact truth as regards the rumor, wrote the office of Supt, of Public Instruction for tbe required information and received the following letter in reply, which will be seen brands the report as false, and has heen circulated only for the purpose of injuring Miss Benjamin's prospects at tbe Primary August 27. , Lansing, Aug, 12, 1912.

Commmiicatlon August 17,1912 Roy W. Caverjy, Pinckney, Mich. Dear Sir:— . Permit me -to thank you for the privilege of speaking to your readers through tbe columns of your paper. No doubt they are aware of the fact that I have opposition for my re-nomination for Congress. i It remains tor the Republicans of the 6tb District to decide whether or not they care to be longer represented by a Republican who bas had several years ot legislative experience, and wbo has sought at all times, acd under all circumstances, to extend every courtesy and kindness possible to all bis constituents, or one who I am sure makes no claim of having had any legislative experience whatever. In a word, and in all kindnessw I respectfully ask the" Republicans to lookup tbe fitness and qualifications of my Republican opponent and decide for themselves. * Owing to the fact that Congress is still in session, I have been baudicapp ed in making my contest, believing it to be my duty to remain in Washing ton during tbe closing hours of the session, rather than to return to Michigan to look after my contest in the primaries. I believe this course will be much more satisfactory to my constituents, and tor this reason, I shall all the more appreciate the efforts of my friends in my behalf. I hope every Republican will be at primaries August 27tb, using bis influence and vote for my re-nomination which will be greatly appreciated. Sincere<y yours, 34tl ' S . W . S M I T H HUGH G.

Startling Silo Sensation New Saginaw Feature Anchoring the base of stave silos as the giant roots anchor for centuries the great oak—the final step in making complete the stave silo. Eventually all silo users will recognize the fact that the stave silo keeps silag6 perfectly; and to overcome the last objection, the fear of 'the stave, silo blowing down, and to make an even better and stronger silo, we have been ^ 4 eagerly searching for new ideas. Many W years ago we developed the Saginaw AH- > - Steel Door Frame, adding convenience, solidity and great strength to the entire structure. The same enterprise, together with keen foresight, developed in 1911, the Saginaw Inner Anchoring Hoop Licensed under Harder Patent No. 627732 me of the greatsnccesses in modern silo construction. And now-^rel2»wath all wondering what possibly could ba added to the Saginaw Silo, our engineering department has created and proved through exhaustive tests, a device wonderfully effective and remarkably simple in design and conetruction, and like all great inventions, "It's a wonder it wasn't thought of before." This invention will be known t*» the world as The Saginaw Base Anchor Like all important Silo improvements you get the Base Anchor only in the Saginaw. We will be glad to tell you more about this wonderful improvement. % We have a new book showing ctozenb 01 interesting views of our tour lar^e plants. This new Rook, entitled "The Building of a Silo", also contains- very recent and complete information on silage. We have a copy for you. Write for it—or better, cqme in and get you£ Book and we'll f »ik it over. T. H . H O W L E T T , Agent, G r e g o r y , M i c h .

MOST COSTLY AND VERBOSE DJ^J LIBERATIONS IN T H E HISTORYOF T H E UNITED STATES. ' VETOES BY PRESIDENT T A F T M A R K E D COURSE. The Expenditures Wilt Foot Up Over a Billion Dollars—-Last Session's Expenditures Were $ V 026,000,000. Another session of congress passed into history Saturday night. Despite promises of retrenchment in public expenditures the house, in conjunction with the senate, managed to run up appropriations far in excess of the billion dollar mark. At tbe last session of congress, expenditures footed up to $1,026,000,- 000, The house leaders have not yet given out .their figures, but they claim the appropriations chargeable to them will be just a little over a billion. However, It may reach a much greater total. . , . .-¢, . ' Kept Long After Midnight. Congress was kept in session until long after midnight because of Senator L a Follette's insistence that a vote must be taken on the Penrose campaign contribution fund resolution, lt required a Quorum to adjourn in the face of an objection and this could not be secured for several hours. The situation was most unusual. The session was long on conversation. The printed record will embrace about 26,000,000 words, covering 13,000. pa_gest. £he- senators^ and representatives^ "who~ compfisT tli^ present house and senate will go ifiwn in histQry as the most verbose statesmen of ail time* The nearest competitor waB the first session of the fiftieth congress, the members of which contributed millions of words and filled .9,¾¾¾ pages. Th$ session also was a recordfe^ aker in the number of bills pre- 'sehlfed. Nearly 3G.000 bills of various sorts were introduced. Of this number the house contributed 26,000 and the senate the remainder. . A great proportion of these bills slumber in committee rooms and- will never be heard, from airain. Few Constructive Laws Made. With the exception of the bill providing a form of government for the Panama canal zone and prescribing regulations for the conduct of the waterway, the session has been devoid of constructive legislation on a large scale. Big Issues have been debated, but without result. This was due in large part to tbe iact that the house and senate are antagonistic politically. Much of the time of the house was devoted to the consideration of tariff bills prepared by the Democrats. Six such bills were put through the house. They were all passed by the senate. Two of them were sent to the president and vetoed. None of them reached the statute books. With the veto of the wool and steel bills the D 2 m o c r a t s abandoned hope of teriff revision. President Taft has set his face against revision, where revision does not conform with conclusions based on scientific inquiry in advance. Labor Legislation Failed. The house passed several bills affecting labor which failed of consideration in the senate. Chief among these - is the Clayton bill providing for jury trials in cases of indirect contempt, the Clayton anti-injunction bill and the Sulzer bill proposing the creation of a department of labor. The session was prolific of vetoes by the president. He wrote his disapproval on at least 11 bills including the wool, and steel tariff bills and the. legislative bill which was vetoed twice. Taft Signs Canal Bill. President Taft signed the Panama canal bill at 7:10 o'clock Saturday night. Following this he sent to congress a memorandum, suggesting tnp advisability of the passage of a resolution which would declare that this measure was not considered by this government a violation of the treaty provisions regarding the canal. In discussing the British protest against the exemption of American shipping from the payment of tolls for the use of the canal, Mr. Taft says,the infesistible conclusion to be drawn from it is that "although the United States owns, controls and has paid for the canal, it is restricted by treaty from aiding Its own commerce ln the way that all the other nations of the world may freely do.'^ SHERMAN NOTIFIED Home Maccabee association has been £hang ed from Sept. 3, % 5, to Sept 11, 12, 3 at Traverse City. Three hundred horses belonging, (o farmers tn-&e8s county, Kansas, have died during the last week from s malady that is puzzling veterinarians. Local experts who have been called in declare the horses have contracted a form of mold from eating grass that sprang up rank following .recent heavy rains. The mold, if that is what it is, causes paralysis of the throat muscles a&4 congestion of the brain. . *>» -—- - — . — — wn of Vice-President Ce.Iees Elaborately for Him, VJ$eJPresidont/< Sherman^ was fpK mally notified on Tuesday at his home in Utica, N . Y., that* for the second time the Republican party had selected him to run on the ticket with President Taft. Rep. Qeorge Sutherland, at the head of the notification party, delivered the address. • The celebration jncident to the notl- 'fication of Mr.-Sherman -was the' most elaborate affair ever staged in Utica, and cost many thousands of dollars, subscribed by local citizens who have been -inspired by civic pride and a desire to fittingly observe the high honpr ponferred on the city's foremost son. Aside from the fac* that the notification pereinony ilfeeif was a Republic can function, there was nothing in the huge celebration of a partisan nature. The festivities started with an elaborate carnival parade" participated in by organizations from Syracuse, Oneida, Canistota, Rome and local people. William Houtz, nearly blind, was electrocuted when he stepped on a live wire which had fallen in a busk ness street during an electrical storm in Toledo. T H E M A R K E T S .

Pontiac—The carelessness of a conductor and a gate keeper at the Grand Trunk crossing on West Huron street endangered the lives of the car crew and ten passengers on a. loop car. A freight train backed toward the crossing just as a .street car reached the derailer. The keeper raised the gate, the conductor threw the derailer and the car started to cross. Just then the keeper.saw the train was nearly upon the crossing and lowered the gates. The motorman couldn't stop, so he threw on i l l the current and crashed through the gates and across the track, missing the freight car by inches. Ann jiArbor.~John Jedele of Lodi narrowly escaped death uj^der an overturned motor car when he and a party of three other young men, riding in a new car driven by Albert Jedele, suddenly struck a sandy road which had become deeply rutted. The wheels skidded sharply to the right and the machine turned turtle, catching John Jedele underneath. The others were thrown out of the car and were unhurt. Jedele was pinned down by the seat rim. But for the fact that there was a slight depression in the seat rim just where it rested on his neck, he would most surely have been instantly killed, AB it is he has a badly strained neck and is under the care of a physician.

This was done by cutting the small growth and placing small trees acrqsj^ the hollow, so that there should be* no strain upon one section more than upon another when the monster pine* struck ground. ' The mast was hauled out of thewoods on one strong sled, whether! i n winter or summer, and so many o$en were required that the hind pair were-, often choked in crossing a hollow, being hung up in their yoke by'lhe pulling of those ahead of them. A mast hauling was a great event,, and everybody within walking distance came to see it. A Word to the Wise. The proverbial advice, "Cobbler,, stick to*1 your last," had an opposite exemplification in the following anecdote, for which Zion's Advocate is responsible. A colored man was brought before a police judge, charged with stealing, chickens. He pleaded guilty, and received sentence, when the judge asked how it was he managed to lift thosechickens right, under the window of their owner's house when there was a dog in the yard. "Hit wouldn't be of no use, judged said the culprit, "to try to 'splain dis : thing to you all. Ef you was to try it, like as not you would git yer hide full o' shot, an' git no chickens, neither. Ef you want to engage in any rascality, judge, yo' bettah stick to de bench, whar yo' am familiar." B a r b e r S h o p s i n C h i n a . Since the Chinese revolution a great many Chinese have had their cues cut off, and this has led to the opening of a large number of barber shops throughout the far east wherever Chinese are located, says an exchange. Several progressive business men of Singapore, anticipating this, imported a large number of American barber chairs, and they are now unable to get supplies quickly enough. It has also been learned that the Chinese insist on having American hair clippers, and refuse all other makes offered It would seem that American manufacturers of barbers' supplies should experience a large increase in their Oriental trade. The fcennlbals Need Food. An officer of the French colonial" army brought a letter from the chief of a group of missionaries in the southern islands of the Pacific not long ago, which winds up as follows: "I regret to tell you that our little company can do little against the fanaticism of these poor wretches.

He did not know that Women have learned through centuries of weakness that fine art ot concealment which man has never mastered. She never let him see what she thought of him. Yet he was not without suspicion; if that suspicion grew to certainty, would he control tiimself then? At first he had sought to keep out of her way, but she had compelled him to come in. The room that was kitchen and bed room and store room for him was cheerless and somewhat cold. Save at night or when he was busy with other tasks outside they lived togethed in the great room, It was always warm, it was always bright, it was always cheerful, there. The llt&e piles of manuscript she had note*4 were books that he had .written. He made no effort t o conceal such things from her. He talked frankly enough about his life in t h e hills, indeed there was no possibility of avoiding the discussion of such topics. On but two subjects was h e inexorably silent. One was the present state of his affections and t h e jother was the why and wherefore^ of hislonery life. She knew beyond peradventure that he loved her, but Bhe had no faint suspicion even as to the reason why he had become a recluse! tie had never given her the slightest clew to his past save that admission that he had known Kirkby which was In itself nothing definitive and which she never connected with that package of letters which she still kept with her. The man's mind was too active and fertile to be satisfied with manual labor alone, the books that he had written were scientific treatises in the main. One was a learned discussion of the fauna and flora of the mountains. Another was an exhaustive account of the mineral resources and geological formations of the range. He had only to allow* a whisper, a suspicion of his discovery of gold and silver in the mountains to escape him, and the canons and crests alike would be filled with eager prospectors. Still a third work was a scientific analysis of the water powers in the canons. He had willingly allowed her to read .tbem all. .Much of them' she found technical and, aside from the fact that he had written them, uninteresting. But there was one book remaining in which he simply diseased Ae-mountains in the7 various' eeasons of the year; when the snows covered them, when the grass and the (moss came again, when the flowers (bloomed, wbon autumn touched the trees. There waa the soul of the jknan, poetry expressed in, pj^sei ftan-; Aikebut none the les^pc^Btry for that. This book pored over, she questioned $im about it; they discussed i t as they disclosed Keats and the other poets. on one- side of .the fire sewing, her Anger wound with cloth t% hold his giant thimble, fashioning for herself; gome winter garments put, ot a ,gay; colored, red, white and black ancient v and exquisitely woven Navajo blanket, sort and pliable almost as ah oldtobloaedv piece of satin—priceless if the had but known it^fpoh be put at her disposal While on^he other; side of the same homely, blase he made for ber out of the skins of some of fte animal* that he had killed, a shapeless foot covering, half moccasin and wholly leggin, 'which she could wear over her shoes JQ, her short excursions arouhd^tbe plateau and which would keep her feet warm and comfortable. , By her permission he smoked as he. worked, enjoying the hour, putting aside the past and the .future and for *r few in^nanxs..hUssfully content Sometimes he laid aside his pipe and whatever work he was engaged upon and read to her from some immortal noble number. Soflaotfmes jttie entertainment fell to he*'and she sang to M m In her, glorious contralto voice music that*-made hfth sad. Once he could atand it no longer. A t the end* tie room—he had risen to his t while she .sang, compelled to the erect position by the magnificent melody— as the last notes died away and she smiled at him triumphant and expectant of his praise and his approval, he hurled himself out of the room and into the night, wrestling for Jiours with the storm which after all was but a trifle to that which raged in his bosom. While she, left alone and deserted, quailed within the silent room till she heard him come back. Often and often when she slept quietly on one side the thin partition, he lay awake on the other, and sometimes his passion drove him forth to cool the fever, the fire in his soul in the icy, wintry air. The struggle within him preyed upon him, the keen 'loving ej?e of the woman searched his fade, scrutinized him, looked into -his heart, saw what was there. She determined to end it, deciding that he must confess his affectioKa. She had no premonition of the truth and no consideration of any evil consequences held her back. She could give free range to her love and her devotion. She had the ordering of their lives and she had the power to end the situation growing more' and more impossible. She fancied the matter easily terminable. She thought she had only to let him see her heart in such ways as a maiden may, to bring Joy to his own io make him speak. She did not dream of the reality. One night, therefore, a month . or more after she had come, she resolved to end the uncertainty. She believed the easiest and the quickest way would be to get him to tell her why he was there. She naturally surmised that the woman of the picture, which she had never seen since the first day of her arrival, was in some measure the cause of it; and the only pain she had in the situation was the keen jealousy that would obtrude itself at the thought of that woman. vised her and had helped her* It was a belted tunic that fell to her knees; the red and black stripes ran around it, edged the broad collar, cuffed the warm sleeves and. marked the graceful waist line. It was excessively becoming to her. He had been down into the valley, or the pocket, for a final of a hurst of. song which filled the lftfei;inspection of the burros before the bight, which promised to be severe, fell, and sue had taken advantage of the opportunity to put it on. She knew that she was beautiful; her determination to make this evening count .hja^brought an unusual color to her o S ^ k s , an unwonted sparkle t t f ' b e r ^ i . ' She stood up as she heard him 'ewer the other room, she was standing erect as he came through the door and faced her. He had only seen her in the now somewhat shabby blue of her ordinary camp dress before, and her beauty fairly smote him in his face. He stood before her, wrapped in his fur great coat, snow and ice clinging to it, entranced. The woman smiled at the effect she produced. "Take off your coat," she said gently approaching him. "Here, let me help you. Do you realize that I have been here over a month now? 1 want to have a little talk with you, I want you to tell me something. C H A P T E R XVI. The Kiss on the Hand. "Did it ever occur to you," began . Enid Maitland gravely enough, for she quite realized the serious nature of the impending conversation, "did it ever occur to you that you know practically all about me, while I know practically nothing about you?" The man bowed his head. -=^¥en may have fancied that I was not aware of it, but in one way or another you have possessed yourself of pretty all of my short and, until I met you, most uneventful life," she continued. Newbold might have answered that there was one subject which had been casually introduced by her upon one occasion and to which she had never again referred, but which was to him the most important of all subjects connected with her; and that was th& nature of her relationship to one James Armstrong whose name, although He Steotf—Entranced, She remembered everything that he , he bad heard it but once, he had not bad said to her, and she recalled, tbat be had once mad> ,tbe remark that be would treat her a* he would have his wife treated if/be had one; there' fore whoever a&d Whatever the pic* ture of tbis Woman was,, she was sot hia wife** She might havebeenngome one he <bad loved, but who bad not loved him.

Enid Maitland smiled at him in a way that indicated she knew what was behind the sudden check-he had imposed upon himself. "Whatever your, reason, your curl* oslty—H "Don't call lt that, please." "Your desire then has been gratified. Now it is my turn. I am not even sure about your name. I have seen it in these books and naturally I have imagined that it is yours." "It is mine." "Well, that is really all that I know about you. And now I shall be quite fran^, I want to know more. You evidently have something to conceal* or you would not be living here in this way. I have never asked you about yourself, or manifested the least curiosity to solve the problem you, present, to. find the solution of the mystery of your life." "Perhaps," said the man, "you didn't care enough about it to take the trouble to inquire." \ "You know," answered the girl, "that is not true. I have been consumed with desire to know." " A woman's curiosity?" "Not that," was the soft answer that turned away his wrath. She was indeed frank. There was that in her way of uttering those two simple words t h a t set his pulses bounding. He was not altogether and absolutely blind. "Come," said the girl, extending her hand to him, "we are alone here together. We must help each other. You have helped me, you have been of the greatest cervice to me. I can't begin to count all that you have done for me; my gratitude—" "Only t h a t ? " "But that is all that you have ever asked or expected," answered the young woman in a low voice whose gentle tones did not at all accord with the boldness and courage of the speech. "You mean?" asked the man, Btar- Ing at her, his face aflame. "I mean," answered the girl swiftly, wilfully misinterpreting and turning his half spoken question another way, "I mean that I am sure that trouble has brought you heje. I do not wish to. force your confidence, I have no right to do so, yet I should like to enjoy it; can't you give it to me? i want to help you, 1 want to do my best to make some return for what you have been to me and have done for me." "I ask but one thing," he said quickly. "And what is that?" But again he checked himself. "No/' he said, "I am not free to ask anything of you." And that answer to Enid Maitland was like a knife thrust ln the heart The two had been standing confronting each other. Her heart grew faint within her. She stretched out her hand vaguely as If for support. He stepped toward her, but before he reached her, she caught the back of the chair andv sank -down weakly. That he should be bound and not free had never once occurred to her; she had quite misinterpreted the meaning of his remark. * ; The man did not help her, he could not help her. He Just stood and looked at her. She fought valiantly for self-control a moment or two and then, utterly oblivious to the betrayal of her feelings involved in the question— the moments were too great for consideration of such trivial matters —she faltered. "You mean there is some other woman?" He shook his head la negation. "I don't understand. There was some other woman ?" "Yes." "Where Is she now?" "Dead." "But you said you were not free." He nodded. "Did you care so much for her that now—that now—" "Enid," he cried desperately. "Believe me, 1 never knew what love was until I met you." Tbe secret was out now; It had been known to her long since, but now it was publicly proclaimed. Even a man. as blind, as obsessed, as be could not mistake the joy that i l - luminated her face at this announcement That very joy and satisfaction produced upon him, however, a very different effect than might have been anticipated. Had he been free, \ indeed, be would have swept her to his breast and covered her sweet face With kisses broken by whispered words of passionate endearment. Instead of that he shrank back from her and it was she who was forced to take up the burden of the con versation. "You say that Bhe is dead " she began ln sweet appealing bewilderment, "and that you care so much for me and yet you—" "I am a murderer," he broke out harshly. "There is blood upon my hands, the blood of a woman who loved me and ^hom, boy as I was, I thought that I loved. She was my wife, I killed her." "Great God," cried the girl amazed beyond measure or expectation by this sudden avowal which she had once suspected, and her hand instinctively went to the bosom of her dress where she kept that soiled, water stained packet of letteiw, "are you that man?" "I am the man that did that thing. for me. I don't deserve it, and it started on the last journey. I was going alone again, but she was so U J * happy over my departure; she clung to me, pleaded with me. Implored mo to take her with me, insisted on go> ing wherever" I went, would net be left behind. She couldn't bear me out of her sight, it seemed. I don't know what there was in me to have in* spired such devotion, but I must speak the truth, however it may sound. She seemed wild, crazy about me. I didnt understand it, frankly I didnt know what such love was—then —but I took her along. Shall I not be honest with you? In spite of the attraction physical, I had begun to feel even then tbat she was not the mate ; \ An i * . She SeTTed His H a w a i i d but what do you know?"-he askel|^ quickly, amazed in his turn. "Pld Kirkby, my uncle Robert Mait*f land, told me your story; they said| that you had disappeared from the; haunts of men—" . "And they were right What else was there for me to do? Although innocent of crime, I was blood guVty. I was mad. No punishment could >e visited upon me like that imposed by tbe stern, awful, appalling fact. I swore to prison myself, to have noth» ing more forever to do with mankind or womankind with whom I was unworthy to so associate, to live alone until God took me.

I was happy after a fashion, or at least content. I had chosen the better part I had work, I could read, write, remember and dream. But you came and since that time life bas been heaven and hell. Heaven because I love you, hell because to love you means disloyalty to the past, to a woman who loved me. Heaven because you are here; I can hear your voice, I can see you, your soul is spread out before me in its sweetness, in its purity; hell because I am false to my determination, to my vow, to tbe love of the past;" "And did you love ber so much; then?1' asked the girl, now fiercely jealous and forgetful of other things for the moment "It's not that." said the man.

Flynn, head of the United States Secret Service i n New York, declares that not a sinr gle gang whose work is ' comparable to that of Andy Bliss and his crowd, the Boscobel coiners, or any one of a dozen gangs that flourished a generation Ago, is operating In the country today. Chief Flynn declares that he does not know of a single spurious gold coin in circulation in the east. In the far west, where gold is a more active circulating medium, some attempts may he made to counterfeit It, hut. none important enough to cause) the secret service more than passing annoyance. With this introduction I will let Andy BUss, tbe king Of th* gold coinera, tell his story, just as he told it tope. * STATEMENT OF ANDY BLISS. No man of sense, said Andy, would ever become a tbief, if he would stop for a moment and think. I will admit that there is a fascination in thievery, which grows upon what it feeds, until it is overpowering, and stealing then becomes a habit, the same as tobacco smoking and drinking rum, and it is very hard to break off. But the practical lesson of my life is very clear. I have be eg a thief for forty years, spent twenty years in Jail, made "over $2,000,000 in forgeries, j k n d w e r e r e a d y f o r business countersigng schemes and bank rob- 1 ~ " " " " " r t f , r " ^ * berles, and today I have not a dollar to my name.

I ran not suit him. The money that was made from these rejected dieB would have passed anywhere except among experts, but Billy was in the game to beat experts. In my opinion he had not his equal in the world as an engraver and tool maker. But the fishing was good, and we could afford to live on the fat of th land; so the whims of Billy did not bother us much. If Billy was a crank in his way, he was an angel compared with Frenchy Kline, who was the most mysterious man I ever met, and I have seen a lot of curious specimens. Frenchy was a dangerous fellow to go with, for his manners were so strange that he was sure to attract attention and arouse suspicion. I have known him to go for weeks and never speak a word. He WAS an expert chemist, and could have made a fortune in the business by going on the level, but he preferred to be a crook. There were two things he could do better than any man in the world. He could make genuine paper, for use as money, and a composition of metals which resembled silver and gold so closely that it would require an analysis in the assay office to prove they were spurious. While Billy was making dies, Kline was mixing up pots of metal and turning out bars of yellow gold. Billy finally finished his dies, and then had t i e parts of a stamping machine built In different foundries and machine shops. We brought the sections to Ravenswood on our truck, and they were put together in a barn on the place. W e g o t an engine and boiler to run the stamping machine, But very few people ever passed the old house, and we were just as safe in our work as if we were in a wilderness.

I kept under .cover i n the Jordan house for about two weeks, land then Darby Jones and his gang, jconsisting of Billy Wallace, Frenchy Kline, George Keene and Warry Mc- Oee, turned up. They had come to iWishington to do business with me. I left Washington with the gang dis- [fcuised as a negro. There was a reward of $10,000 for my scalp, but I won out easily. I left the train in Newark and drove to New York i n a cab. I kept under cover for a few days in New York, and then moved over to one of the old bouses in Ravenswood, I K I., which had been practically deserted for several years. The .house was near the iwater, and we stuck out the sign of a jftshing club on the mansion, and hired ralpop to give color to the fake. • Then the counterfeiting scheme was •1H at ^motion, Frenchy Kline and jBitty Wallace were.the experts, and (Billy,had expected, to have a die for {either a HQ or A $20 gold piece delivfaced 5 to him in Washington* Failing to get tbjs, he decided to make the $10 and $20 dies himself, and I put up tbe^^oin ior;.tne> tools and to take care ^thagang. k.... ,. . . .., g a die is a very slogr process, naaV*tf*£ad .a dandy tlma f i l i n g ;and flsbi^f While sBilly was ^doing. *be wort.

H * made two dies and ifcrew them away, because they did There never was a job, said Detective Adams, worked in this country, which could match the great gold coin swindle so successfully carried out upon the expert dealers in money in Wall street. No class of people are easier to beat than Wall street men, provided they are met upon their own stamping ground by fearless men who deal with them upon an apparently solid platform. As I recall it, the bogus coin disposed of was worth, face value, about $200,000, and the thieves were kind enough to go in and get the premium upon this sum. The firm which handled the gold i n this city was Wells & Co., and they were above suspicion. The coin was sent to them from Frink & Beaman, an honorable London firm of bankers, and every connection from start to finish had all the marks of a genuine transaction. There was nothing to arouse suspicion except the gold itself, and that was not critically examined at the time, because 4t had been shipped in a perfectly regular manner. Inquiry would probably not have been made into the transaction for a long time if it had not been for the disappearance of Nathaniel Storms, who had completed the transaction with Wells A Co;, and collected the money for the gold. Storms came to this country with the gold and had letters of Introduction equal to the best certificate of character. He represented that he was the agent of a syndicate of foreign capitalists who had been quietly gathering up-all tbe gold they could get hold of in Europe at their own figures, and had got together several millions of dollars which theytintended to put ufjon the American market to get the benefit of the large premium. , When Storms collected the money for Jibe, gold* be made an appointment ito meet Wells & Co. the next day upon a matter of importance; and he did not show up. He was.stopping at jthe old Astor House, and a letter was sent. there by a messenger, who brought back a reply that Storms bad given up his room there in the morning, before be went to Wells ft Co.'s office. H i s baggage consisted only of a handbag, and he took this away with him. It also was learned that What do I care for daffodils, And mornlng-glorlea, too!

The man of the house tiptoes down, to the stair landing and listens. He hears the burglar moving craftily about the living-room. Suddenly the burglar bumps into a cabinet of bric-a-brac and it upsets with a crash. "Good!'; exclaims the man. "Now, just back of you is another cabinet oi that junk. If you'll bump into it, I'll go back to bed^ and allow you to burgle to your heart's content." Storms bad not stopped at the Astor House at all. He hired a room there by the week, but never went to it, and only called at the hotel to get his m a i l Storms had told one of the members of the firm that he had given a dinned to some of his English friends at the Astor House and related some of W l l D U R P . . N E S P 1 T the stories whicb - were told by - W B * X « B B S 5 B S = S = ^ ^ friends of American life. It was considered very strange that Storms, who carried all the marks of -honesty in hi a face and speech, should bave lied about such an unimportant matter; and, considering all the circumstances, a doubt was raised about his veracity in other matters of importance. Several days passed and nothing was heard from Storms. Wells & ,Co. became a bit uneasy and sent a cable to Frink & Beamen, asking for in* formation about the further shipments of gold. Frink & Beamen replied that they did not know anything about shipments of the precious metal, and would be delighted to «find any of it. Then the direct inquiry was made by Wells & Co. of Frink & Beamen if they had not consigned $200,000 to Wells & Co. The answer came back that they had not. This news turned things upside down in Wells & Co.'s establishment. The gold which they had sold had been broken up into smaller packages and pretty widely distributed. Some of the coin was found and it was pronounced genuine by bank experts, but the deep interest of Wells & Co. aroused the suspicion of some of their customers, and they sent several samples to the assay office for analysis. This examination showed that there was practically only a trace of gold on the face of each coin, and the metal was worthless. Then there was the deuce to pay. The customers of Wells & Co. demanded the return of their money and the firm was forced to suspend temporarily. I was called into the case at this juncture and I must confess that it looked like a mountain. A d 1 vices from London showed that all the papers which had been used by Nathaniel Storms in this country had been forged, and the investigation made by W£lls & Co. was just ten days too late. The plot would have been exposed if they had made inquiries concerning Storms at the start. Private letter blanks and Secret marks of identification had been obtained from Frink & Beamen in some way, showing that some one in their employ had been giving information. <• There* was nothing in this coujitry but a good description of Storms. He wore a full beard, and I knew that he would shake this at the first opportunity, so that a description of him was useless. I Was sent to London to work up that end with the Scotland Yard people. I brought them the information about the letter blanks ar>d secret marks, and a watch watf put upon everybody in Frink & Beaman's office. They had twenty clerks working for them, and it took some time to pick up our man. We found a young fellow named Sinclair who had money to burn on $15 a week, and pinched hira. He squealed without delay, and said that he had been induced to give up the secrets of the business by two men who claimed to be Englishmen. They gave him $500 for his work. He heard them call each other Andy and Warry, and this gave the first tip on the gang. I was satisfied that the two men were Andy Bliss and Warry Mc- Gee, both crooks. I learned that the bogus coin had been brought from America on the Cunard line in casks of white lead* and had been returned by the same line. As it had beet arranged that the money should be paid in New York, I knew that it was certain that Warry and Andy would be on board to get their whack, and I came back. I could not imagine who this Storms waB, and my only hold was to keep the .pipes running for Bliss and McGee, ^ h o naturally would not be much alarmed over the robbery for the reason that every end was covered. I knocked around among men and women I knew to be crooked for about a month before I got a good tip. It was in Nat Cunningham's saloon on the Bowery that I overheard a conversation between a couple of bank sneaks, who were telling a friend about a trip they had on Andy Bliss* yacht, and the sport at the fishing club in Ravenswood. ^ It took me a couple of hours in Ravenswood to locate the clubhouse. It was in an old deserted mansion. I went there after dark, and was astonished to hear a regular and very hard thumping in one of the outhouses. I could not see into the place, but I heard the sound of several voices, and when some one came out I caught a glimpse of some moving machinery through a door. I waited till after daylight, and 1 knew that there was crooked work going on, for there was no sHgn of a smoke pipe anywhere. ! I made all my arrangements'for a raid, and the next night I had ten picked men in Ravenswood. I kept tab on the clubhouse and saw that there were at least five'men there. About S o'clock four men^left the clubhouse and went to tbe bank Soon tbe machinery was going, and I went to the barn with five men, leaving the others to watch the house* The men felt so secure that, the barn door had not been locked.

Hall, who retired frem active .service last February, was a West Pointer and the holder of a medal of honor. General Hall entered the military academy in 1864, graduating four years later and being assigned to the Nineteenth infantry as a second lieutenant, i n March, 1869, he was placed on the list of unassigned officer where* he remained until July in that year, when he was assigned to the Fifth cavalry. It was while he was with that regiment that he received l jhis medal of honor. In the fail of 1879 a force of Ute Indians surroundea" a small detachment of regulars i n J the White River country. For three days and three nights the soldiers held off the Indians. Rescue came finally/and the Indians made way before Hhe charge of Colonel Merritt and> his men, who had made a record ride to the aid of the beleaguered-troops. A day or two after the retreat of the Utes Lieutenant William^ B. Weir, ordnance department, and a scout left the camp on a deer hunt. Not long after their departure, Lieutenant Hall with three men were ordered out on a reconnaisance. The lieutenant and his little command circled through the mountains for several hours and in tbe afternoon they heard a succession of 'shots. They struck out for the spot from which the firing came. On rounding the shoulder of the valley Lieutenant Hall saw at a little distance across the open space a band of at least forty Utes. The officer saw that Lieutenant Weir and the scout had been surprised and had taken to a rocky ledge. Lieutenant Hall sent four shots into the ranks of the Utes, making them change their shelter. The lieutenant knew that if he could Between Men. "My Wife hates to see me Spend a stoker on myself. Mine, too. She thinks I would raise a wart to serve as a collar but ton if I tealgr had tbe interest*'* of my family at heart.M Stood Up at Full Length on the Rock. draw the fire of all the Indians at once that Lieutenant Weir and his companion might make a dash toward him while the rifles -of the Indians were unloaded. Lieutenant" Hall stood up at full length on the rock. The Utes saw him and the Indians emptied their rifles at him. Lieutenant Weir and the scout dashed out from their shelter the instant that the Utes had let drive^at Lieutenant Hall. They made half the distance to their comrades before the Indians had reloaded. Then the two dropped behind a rock and waited. The Indians did not again respond to the fire- of Lieutenant Hall's command. Then the lieutenant stood on the rock once more facing the Utes. Lieutenant Weir and the, scout dashed out—but the Indians had learned the trick. One-half of the Indian hand turned their guns at Lieutenant Hall. The other half fired at Weir and the scout, both of whom fell dead, while Lieutenant Hall escaped unharmed. Then they attacked Lieutenant Hall and his three comrades, who retreated slowly from < cover to cover, holding their assailants in check until the shooting was beard at tbe camp and a body of men rode out to the rescue/and the TJtss fled. Lieutenant Hail was given a medal of honor for fys gallantry. All of his service was in the west until appointed an assistant adjutantgeneral with tbe rank ot major in November, 1893. He bad, been a \ member.of tbe department*;division, / army, and distinguished marksmen teams between 1879 and ^92.. aad * won medals upon a i l " these yearns* shooting with carbine and Revolver.

THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL The Case of tho Anonymoua Latter Writer of Philadelphia ; The reason for the prevalence of the anonymous letter writing evil is because of the apparent safety of the person guilty of this nuisance. A man of the anonymous letter writing type has an enemy. He is afraid to face him in the open, but he wants to hurt hini. What easier or what more safe -^-apparently—than to write, an unsigned letter containing inlormation, alleged or real, or slander, which is certain to cause the assailed person harm, or at least considerable annoyance? There is a certain type of cowardly person to whom the anonymous letter appeals as does the vengeful stiletto to the vicious blackhand criminal. It is a means to harm, and—apparently—a safe one, What easier than, to write a few lines in a disguised hand? Or on a typewriter? Haw can anybody trace a letter prepared i n such a way and dropped in the mall box by stealth and in the dark of night? True, admits the letter writer to himself—or herself, for women are numerous among this element, such letters have been traced and their authors caught. But, reasons the Intending writer, they did not t%ke the necessary precautions to hide their tracks. It looks like a cinch. It looks safe. But— it isn't. Any crime or misdemeanor that will place in the hands of a trained detective a piece of writing, pen or typewriter^, or a piece of printing, or, in fact, any physical trace -of a person's expression, is tbe least safe sort of wrong-doing in the world. No sort of wrong-doing is safe, of course, but the kind that leaves a trace of a person's identity in the hands of the men who get on the track is the kind most certain to be run down eventually. This does not mean that it usually 1B a cinch for the detective to run down the average anonymous letter writer. On the contrary it is usually very hard, for the wrong-doer invariably has taken a multitude of .precautions to throw his follow-^ of? the track. But the point is that the detective has in tfte letter a tangible clue to follow, * and iri the end it is practically certain that the writer will be caught. My first experience with anonymous letter writer came about in queer fashion. One day a young man, who looked the part of the bookkeeper that we afterwards found him to be, came into the New York office of the Burns agency and planked down thfcee anonymous letters that he had received during the past few weeks. Here is one of them that gives the gist of the three missives: 1 "Dear Sir: "You will never know who tUsae letter comes from, but you may he assured that it is from a friend. Y<o.u have a friend named Carlin, wtoo is treasurer for the Blank Heating company. If you will spend more time ha Carlin's company we will reward you In a manner that will surprise you, on the condition that you let no one faaow. that you ever received this letter. Especially do not let Carlin know.** The name of the man who brought the letters in was Blake. He had come to us for advice. "We aren't giving away advice," said the office manager. "If you want us to find who wrote those letters to you and why they were written, we'll be glad to give you a man for $8 a day and expenses. It may. take some time to find the writer, so your bill probably would run up pretty high." - "Oh, I couldn't afford to hire a detective," said Blake. "I thought not," said the manager. And there the case ended for the time * * being. ' • - • K- 1 Three months later, almost to a day, iWe got a call from a business house ' ;fti a l a ^ n e a r b y ' C i t r to send a man /over there atfonee. I happened to get ithe case, r & u n d my people to be the ^Continental Heating company. The diame of the general manager was Haney. I didnt like him from the . atart. • ": • *fljr; Cornell," said Haneyv when I bad introduced myself, "I'm glad to see j ^ # a n : t o see you, indeed*' We've got ^irttle matter here in1 this office, a vqiieW matter, that we can't 4ulte understand. We thought we had better ha** a deteotive In* to* IdottHhe iMg^:':^^' *•> *f' '•What is it?" I asked. Fbr aiswer he turned to hi* desk arid drew out three letters and handed them to me. , ^ose'lefters, Mr, Clornetf, have been received ia this office m tbe last two weeks," said ttaney: "Take a i b % | ^ k at ^ . * * \ - u ' I did. *The Jettera ;were simply addressed "Dear Slf^ withcut the^name' of tbo IKa" being mentioned* They wore all about Ih (he same tone.

Well, we don't mind telling you that it won't The figures in the bids don't/settle this contract by a long sight We settle it. You know who we are. Xow, the reason we write this to you is this: Come; across. "That's what will land you this contract, if you do land i t Come across. Come across strong. Show us that you're right, and Ve'U show you that we're right. Show us that you're not right and—good-by contract for you, You know who we are and you know how to get to us." " The letter ended abruptly. It wasn't signed. The other letters ran along in about the same strain, the third one being much in the nature of a threat, and assuring the firm that it had ao chance ln the world of landing this heating contract that it wanted so badly unless it began to show that **lt was right" within the next week. "I got that last letter yesterday," said Haney. "That week will be gone in five days. And we certainly do want that contract." "Do you know who wrote the letters?" I asked, bluntly. He looked at me in amazement. "Know?" he said. "What do you think I am?" Do you suppose rd>be paying your agency %% a day and expenses if I knew who wrote those letters?" "Hardly," I said. "Do you know who is responsible for their being written*' Haney looked at me a little longer this time without speaking. "No," he said. "No." * "But you could make a pretty close guess, couldn't you?" I went on. "Yes," he said, "I could." "Sure," said. "There wouldn't be any sense to these fellows writing the letters if you couldn't. I suppose it's a bunch of grafting politicians who are trying to hold you up, isn't it?" He gave me a look which was undisguised attempt to read my thoughts. "Yes," he said, "that's what we think, of course. That is what I and Mr. Garver, the president of the conopany, have agreed upon as the truth.*' "Garver?" I said. "I haven't met him yet, have I?" "Mr. Garver is president and owner of this company," said Haney, " H e V an old man. I attend to all this sort, •of business." "Doesn't he want to be i n on thi* conference?" I said. "No," j;aid Haney. I thought it over a little. "Well;; ,1 said. "I want him to be rhere:" "What?" Haney begun to get a little mad. "ItJs arule of our offiee," I explained. Haney leaned back, mollified. ' ^ h , " be said, " i f that's the case, all irtgbt. Mr. Garver doesn't like to trouble with such details,, but if you h> srtst— " '"I <do." *Then we <can go into his private office.'" We went in. (Garver was an old man, as Haney had said. He was over seventy and was in poor health. His mind was quite a s < clear as it should be, but as I saw him and Haney together the contrast struck me too forcibly to be lost. Garver was the fine typo of honorable business man who has built up his success by virtue of the excellence of his {products and square dealing, and who was more frequently met a couple of decades ago ttoan in this age. Haney was the type who forces bis way to the top by bulldozing and unscrupulous conduct Garver would rather lose .business than sacrifice his self respect by a dishonorable action. Haney mould get the money anyway so long A S he could keep out of jail. "Well, Mr. Cornell" said Ssfrver courteously, "it looks as if tbe Continental Heating company would have to resort to bribery to get a mueh-oVesifed contract, doesn't it? I dislike to do it, very much, but it is extremely necessary that we get this school eon* tract. I am sorry to have to pay a bribe to'unscrupulous politicians. I would not do so except to beat a company that wants to put an inferior beating plant into our schools. I have a large amount of pride In my own city, Mr. Cornell, and I want to get my heating plant—which is a jgood honest one—-into tbe schools: T a r n afraid we will have to appease certain politicians with a good-sized bribe before this can be accomplished." 1 ''Oh; I guess not?' r said. "We'lf get this letter writer for you after that your politicians wont bother you." Garver smiled. "I admire confidence, Mr. Cornell," he said. "But Mr. Haney informs-me that this thing is sewed up too close for comfort. The local ring already is negotiating with tbe Blank Heating x .Company of New Yc^rk. Mr. Haney has had their treasurer, Mtv'Carlln, watched, and a certain young man naxaed Blajte, who is a clerk l a the New York office of on* of our' local politicians, lias been with him constantly. They are the people wtoo want to put the inferior plant tn our schools, and through this envoy the politicians are in close tench with-tbem. Isn't that the situation, Mr. Haney?" ' "Yes said Haney. "This young fellow $sn %een %a$gtag.azound Carlin -for the last few weeks; A r t ? * a "cinch they>e got something framed up. The politicians fere trying to make us overbid 3be other people's bribe," "How much will the bribe feef' I asked. "Mr. Haney informs me that it will take $I0,i000," replied Garver. ("Oh!" said I to myself. "Mr- Haney informs you, does he? I begin to see & little ray of light") H1 still Bay," said I to Garver, "that we will have your letter writer in a few days and that you won't have to bribe your politicians." And out oft the corner of my. eye I aaw Haney smile. t The next two days were busy ones for me and for Cluffer and Doheny of the B.urns agency staff. I went back to New York; Cluffer and Doheny on my> wired request came rushing to the place 1 had been working. Cluffer knew the ins and outs of the political ring in that city like *a book. ' He had worked on a couple of city hall cases there. Doheny had been brought up in the town and was chummy with half a dozen of the most powerful politicians of the lower class, the kind who would be in on such a deal as the school heating 'contracts. For two days duffer and Doheny combed the political corners of the town. They smoked and drank and chummed with •everybody they needed in their business, from the king of the levee district, who was the biggest politician there, to the little hangers-on of feusky ward-heelers. Then they sprang their.proposition. winter time* The air gets bad, aa I understand. "$Tow, as I say, we've been l n on every piece of city money that's been spent; but about this one—well, some of us have got kids of our own, and we says, says we': 'Let's let the kids get decent air and heat;' and we said: 'Hands off the heating contracts. Let the people with the best plant get the lob, and nothing doing for us.' I'm sorry, but we've decided to let tbat Job go clean." Cluffer wired me ln New York what he had found. It was what I had hoped and expected, because my theory pointed that way. In the meantime I had gone straight to Blake. He had seen me in the office when he came in with his anonymous letters three months before. "Are you getting any of those letters nowadays?" I said. He w&s fidgety, and he lied and said, no. "Then why are you associating with Carlin so much lately?" I asked. "How do you know I am?" he demanded. "The man who wrote you the letters told me so," I said. His curiosity overcame him. "Who is he?" he said. "Do you know, I'm worried ha^f to death over the thing. It's perfectly erSizy to me. Here a month ago the letters began coming again, and a twenty-dollar bill in each one, and a promise that they'd continue if I'd only hang around Carlin a lot. 'Let yourself be seen with him,' was the expression. What in the deuce does it mean?" "Easy enough," I said. " Y o u work in the New York office of a man who's big in politics l n this other city where the letters are mailed, don*t you?" "Yes." "And Carlin's i n the heating business, isn't he?" "Yes," Biafce b e d Te«e**ed w e r e ^ - t t e ^ W f c f c h a n d that had panned the ones that came to the. Continental Heating company. They were ln a peculiar hand. After studying it for a while I saw that It waa the looping, continuous hand of a telegrapher. But it wasn't a good telegrapher's hand; the letters were just a trifle shaky. -"Easy," I said to myself. "Find a telegrapher who'et on, tbe . toboggan* from drink'or ^ p e ; 1 ' j : I went back to the city where t i e letters had been mailed, the city where .the aght.waa on,* and called est' the heads of'the-local telegraph c o m - pany and showed them the handwriting and asked 1* any such man worked for them. > He didn't They had fired him for drunkenness several months before. He was an old expert named Handy who had gone the whisky route. When you have a man identified to that extent it isn't hard to find him. Some of the old telegraphers ln the office knew the particular lodging house where Handy was living. He had touched them at intervals for small loans. Cluffer and I went to the lodging house and found Handy In bed, recovering from a terrible spree. "I want you to wjite some letters for me, the same kind you've been writing for my friend Haney, of the Continental Heating company," I said. "Get me a drink, for God's sake," said the wreck. "I haven't got a cent." I got him something to steady his nerves and set him to work. He wrote enough to show me positively that he waa m i man. ^ "How did Haney happen to get you to writ<yhis letters for him?" I asked. "Oh, I used to know Haney before the booze got me," he said. "I went up to bis office and tried to touch him. He told me he'd pay me for writing "And there's a big heating contract some letters for him, and I wrote them to be let i n this other city.

But we're 'right Understand? ^e're, ready to come through big on this proposition.

"But d a m it, man, I'm not I haven't said a word to Carlin; I haven't been asked to. There's nothing l a it, man, nothing but the appearances."

"Certainly not, my boy; but you come pretty near being a a vinnocent tool; 1 "But who's the man who sent me the letters?*' asked Blake. " "Oh," I "I don't tbftlk you heed to know.

The ones tbat Oh, no," I said. "Not foi' you." I went to Mr. Garver-and saw him at hia home that night and placed my evidence before him. It took me four mortal hours to convince him that his manager, Haney, had almply put up a bluff about the politicians wanting to hold up the firm that got tho school heating contracts. I bad to tend Cluffer and Doheny after tbe levee king and bring him up to Carver's house and get bim to tell the story about how tbe crooked politicians bad decided to let the heating contracts alone But when I had him convinced be waa convinced all over. The case never went to court. Carver didn't want any newe that would mention tbo name of bit town even indirectly ia a graft scandal to get before the public. But the manner in which he threw Haney out of his job broke that crook's nerve. Garver let other people in tho heating business know abodt Hailed awful crookedness, and Haney became a man shunned.

Although a bird if fi ter equipped than a man, even in the niost perfect and powerful flying at** chine yet invented, to cope with swirling gusts and sudden blasts, ;few feathered creatures care to fly during a storm. Drexel says: "The aeroplane has its limitations, and they are so far very narrow ones." If tnis be true^of the mechanical power, what of the guiding intelligence behind it? writes Richard Kearton i n The Sphere. Man has .to conceive a situation and communicate his will through his limbs to bis mechanism, whereas a bird iastinctively throws its will into it* wings and tail, which is a much shor* er path to results. Now let us glance for a moment at the relative speeds of mental perception in a man and a bird. Tor a long series of years I have undergone a severe training ln quick mental perception and at the crucial moment setting rapidly-answering mechanical contrivances In motion, and have no hesitation, in stating that the powers of the most alert human being when compared with those of a bird are as the speed of a snail to that of a Derby winner. Some idea of a bird's mar* velous rapidity of perception and resultant action may be gained when 1 state that I have exposed dozens ot photographic plates with my focafc plane index showing that 1 was working at a speed of the 200th part of « second before I secured a picture of a crested tit on a branch near its nest- .^,^,»« Ing hole. Even in such a sliort «pacej|$gj| of time the bird was able to concetv|lg||:g| the sound and set Its wings to m o t ^ l ^ ^ f / before the shutter of the c a a i p ^ ^ ^ ' 1 ^ closed. J-v ^': ' No Flight* in Rough Wee Now if such a wo creature as a bird flying in strong c how much greater difficulties be for body bas seen large floe1 going through their astonishhijg; evolutions before retiring to rest the night and marveled at the s with which they avoided colliding with each other whilst wheeling, twisting and swooping. This i l l u * trates the extreme rapidity of theil mental perception and its translatloa into action, but in i p i t c of these very useful qualifications the birds do not risk such exhibition displays of flight during very stormy weather. Mon* hers of a pack of grouse flushed dun Ing a gale of wind have been known to collide and kill each other in mid* air. * I remember on one occasion putting a grouse up near to a stone wal} duj* ing very gusty weather. The bird had not proceeded far before it *rasr x caught by a terrific side blast a W A hurled against the wall. Falling to the ground It rose again, but instead of attempting to continue its flight par* allel with the fence, took a course at right angles to it, and by a series of vigorous wing beats forced Its way straight up into the eye of the wiad, and then, turning right around, sailed away over tbe wall on outstretched wings. Grouse, like seagulls, apppear to be able to read the signs of a coming storm, and frequently seek sheU ter before the breaking of the blast, I have known them to leave the ex* posed hilltops and descend even to the meadows right at tbe bottom o l a Yorkshire dale before the oncoming — of an exceptionally heavy gale acconv panied by hail and rain. Island Birds in a Hurrfeene. Some years ago Whilst in tbe outer Hebrides I noticed thousands of s«aj gulls of different species sitting quits still in a pasture close to the Atlantic Every head was turned toward the sea, from which a moderate breeze was blowing. By the middle of the afternoon the wind had increased to such hurricane force that pieces of foam aa large S B a man's head were being carried from the beach a quarter of a mile island, and not a bird of any kind was to be seen on the wing. Anxious to see bow my feathered friends were faring during such exceptional weather I struggled forth, sometimes progressing on my feet, and at others, in exposed places, on mj* hands end knees. I found common terns sheltering behind boulders at a consider able distance from the shore;' Arrtv* Ing at a vertical hole some 70 fleet In diameter and 50 feet ln depth In the roof of a long sea cave, I was astonish* ed to discover a peregrine falcon sitting in the company Of abwt 4Mft*k doves.

This comparatively new air craft lias given a fresh Impetus to the business side of flying by reducing the element of danger so that the aviator may feel it prudent to go for an air s a i l without first making his will. A l - though tbe water plane did not come Into use until about 18 months ago, It has rapidly gained i n popularity from tbe fact that It has not been the V Overwater flying about New York is not an unusual spectacle. Thousands of persons almost daily for two weeks last winter watched Frank Coffyn in his Wright hydro-aeroplane skim the surface of the water of the bay from the battery, drift into the air with a moving picture machine, hurdle bridges, circle Miss Liberty, spiral over ferryboats and drop back on the water with the ease of a gull. He had one or two mishaps, but was always towed back safely. The nearest approach to real danger occurred when on one of these flights Coffyn dropped his camera in the matter of hydroaeroplanes, so much sp that this water plane may be safa to be an American invention- While experiments were conducted in Europe since 1905 only one machine, tbe Fabre hydroaeroplane, as much as left the water,: and it was wrecked after a lew short trials. That was In 1910. The first complete success was attained by Glenn H . Curtiss 14 the earjy part of 1911; and for nearly a year he practically had the field to, himself. The idea of the hydroaeroplane, however,.seems to have originate ed with William Kress, an Austrian inventor. After 27 years of experimenting he completed a machine fitted with cylindrical floats of aluminum which were tried out at the Unter-Tuilnerbach chanjtlers in 1898 and 190}~ It never left'fthe Water. In 1902 and 1903 the Wright brothers made some experiments, but they were terminated by the breaking of a dam near Dayton, Ohio. Other inventors followed, but without any pronounced success. Among those notably were Parsevai, Dufaux brothers. Archdeacon, Gabriel, Volsin and Bieriot. The last three collaborated in'their experiments, Voisin acting as pilot of the machines, which were tried out over the Seine river. * In July of 1^905, Voisin was trying out a Bieriot in which the pilot was seated in a cagelike apparatus. The machine became submerged and for some seconds he was fastened underneath the water. He did not like this experience and after that the machines were flown over land. Then in 1911 along came Glenn H . Curtiss with a satisfactory solution of the problem. It was not until January, 1911, BP WW o m a c h w o r m s i n S h e e p a n d C a l v e s By WARD GILTNER, S u u Vetetiaaria* Wilt Ihe TAKING THE. \r JSfjse,.of a single * Ity or serious It... It is ;re have plenty1 of -and duckand counof acci- ^ which h a v e lives in machines, the pilots of water machine have suffered n o t h i n g worse than a wetting. There have been some striking i l - lustrations of this. For instance, on Jfcfrruary 10 Hugh Robinson while flying at.Antibes, near Nice, France, started out to givt> a demonstration 4a rough weather. When he attempted to come down the shore was crowded with spectators and he was forced to descend on the water. As he was about to cettle a big wave rolled up and hit the tall of the machine, pitch ing him out head first Robinson escaped with a drenching. * Two years before John B . Moisant was killed in just such a fall on land. While making a flight of 370 miles -along the Mississippi river Robinson's : motor"stopped out over the river. He .reached the water, drifted shoreward and was towed back to the starting point by a boat, * i t is this margin of safety that makes the hydro-aeroplane popular with the sportsman, who heretofore 'has hesitated about taking up flying for the reason that the sensation did not justify the risk. Aeroplane builde r s both in Europe and America have awakened to the situation and are ^turning out machines fitted with floats. ior hydros. The aeronautical organizations throughout the country have been Impressed with this clean record of the hydro-aeroplane and are doing their -utmost to promote thus form of flight. As a consequence schools are being established along water-fronts to supplant the aerodromes on land. This alone should insure a liberal patronage when it is considered that the Aero Club of America and its affiliated clubs alone have a membership of 8,- O00 and the Aeronautical of New York bas about 300 members. On a rainy day last May Mr. Collier, with Walter Brookins as plot, flew from Seidler's Beach to the flagship Washington, anchored off Ninety-sixth street, to deliver an invitation to Admiral Osterhaus to attend the Aero chow then in progress of the Grand Central Palace. Previous to that Admiral Osteahaus had contended that no flying machine was worth more than ten cents, but he completely changed his mind. Th^ S2-mttcs Was made i n 30 minvtes, good speed, being made on account of a following wind.

The machine fortunately did not hit a ferryboat and consequently there was only the loss of a camera. It was while making these fights that Coffyn demonstrated the feasibility of communicating with ships in case of emergency. He flew down the harbor and overtook the Italian liner Axona and landed a passenger without the slightest difficulty. Coffyn afterward said he could have caught the boat 50 miles outside New York just as easily. It would also seem that the water machine would be valuable for lifesaving purposes along the coast During the Chicago aviation meet last -August an aviator lost control while flying and was pitched into the water. Three-quarters of a mile away Aviator Hugh Robinson was performing circles In a Curtiss machine. Seeing his fellow flier in distress, he flew to the rescue at a mile a minute, reached the spot, landed on the water alongside the submerged aeroplane and offered to give the plot a lift. A l l this in less than one minute. On another occasion Naval Aviator Herbster while carrying a passenger over San Diego Bay had some mishap in alighting and turned over. This was about half a mile from the shore. Long before motor boats* could reach the spot Harry Atwood had launched his machine from the beach and in less than a minute was to the rescue of Mr. Herbster and his passenger. Neither was hurt, and both preferred to stay by their machine, which was upside down in the water, until a motor boat came to tow it to shore. A Hammondsport physician who had received an urgent call to see a patient across Lake Keuka, not being able to get a boat at once, found an aviator to take bim there. The patient was in a serious condition, and the time saved was important. 'This new aircraft is not limited to the water. It can fly at a speed of 00 miles or more, skim the water at 50 miles and run over the ground at 36 miles. It therefore marks the conquest of three elements—air, water and earth. The hydroaeroplane ls essentially an aeroplane'equipped with floats to take the place of wheels. Almost every builder has his own Ideas for a hydro, and hardly any two are exactly alike. America is far ahead of Europe in that a hydroaeroplane was ready for trial. The first tests were failures, and for two weeks daily tbe machine was set afloat to undergo some new change, some knowledge being gained from each test. Assisting with the experiments were Lieut. Theodore Ellyson of the navy and Lieut. Paul Beck, Lieut. John C. Walker, Jr., and the late E. M. Kelly of the army; Hugh Robinson and C. C. Witmer, aviators of the camp. The men wore bathing suits usually and no one thought anything of wet clothing or cold feet. The success which came January 26 was a surprise even to Mr. Curtiss. On this day the machine was taken out for its usual inspection and much to the delight and surprise of Mr. Curtiss, the pilot, it leaped into the air. The success was electrifying. The spectators ran along the beach shouting and the ships that caught sight of the man gull sent exultant blasts. This wevent marked the success of a new flier. There were daily flights thereafter, with and without passengers. The navies of the world were quick to recognize its value as an auxiliary. It had hardly attained success before the United States navy acquired an hydroplane for experimenting and it has since, added others. An aviation section Jfcucharge of fcapt Washington IrvtiHjChambers has since been ostablisjHHat Annapolis. Other nations fanjjprto develop a reliable aeroplane followed in line and ordered machines from America. New Use for Library Pfaxa. A gay scene is presented daily on the west plaza of the public library these summer days. ~ A new use has been found for it which doubtless had no place in the architects' sclmme. Little children run-races when it is not too hot or draw their toys hack and forth over the long expanse of flagging. Older children find shady nooks about the Bryant fountain where they sew or read, sometimes to the little ones or to the mothers who also find time to get away from the close tenements, and enjoy a rest in the quiet open space. It Is within walking distance of a large tenement district. It is not easy for the poor to find such a place, and so far tbe park loafers have not in* vsded ft It belongs to the women aad children.

A few of tbe squares were retained, on which to place a short history of the town, giving names of prominent men, various industries, population at different dates, and the names of county and town officers at the time, and the remainder were sold for advertising. In most cases the advertising was done by forming the letters in the top coat before tbe final set, but a few of the advertisers furnished aluminum letters and numerals, about 3 incher high. Although the sidewalk bas now been laid for some time, the outline* of the letters are said to be as when first made.

"I t r a ^ e t r e d some to him, but I'm not-£wa^¾¾¾ whether be considers It a loan or 8 present" The losses from stomach worms in sheep undoubtedly exceed the combined losses from all other causes which bring about death in sheep. _My attention ha* recently;been called to stomach worms on account of finding them In a bunch of young cat tie. This ls the first time that I have seen this worm in calves in Michigan, but it is well known 'that in certain parts of the south it has caused enor mous losses to bovlnes. The losses of sheep, especially lambs, h a ^ been very serious during the past few years. I have seen as much as $1,000 of loss within sight ot one farm house. This loss usually indicates ignorance on the part of the owner as to the nature of sheep diseases. The experienced flock master does not suffer such losses, as a rule, since he knows the deadly character of this worm and plans from year to year in order to fight its ravages. The Btomach worm, technically known as Haemonchus con tortus, 1B a minute worm about an inch in length when mature, and derives its name, contortus, from its appearance, which suggests a very fine brown silk thread twisted about an equally fine, white thread. The brownish color has a very dire significance. It is due to blood pigments. The worm is found in enormous numbers In the sick lamb or calf in the fourth or true stomach, which is properly called the aboznasum. This stomach is the one of which the small intestine is a continuation. The worms may be found frequently in that portion of the small intestine attached to the fourth stomach. The diagnosis »at post-mortem, then, is made by opening the true stomach and examining carefully in a good light the lining membrane of this organ. If the animal has just died, or just been killed, these worms will be found in a seething mass, in some cases, covering the membrane. They attach themselves, at least temporarily, to the membrane and withdraw blood. This results in an irritation of the lining of the stomach and in a depletion of the system from blood withdrawn. There may be poisons secreted, also*,, but this cannot be definitely stated. It is quite noticeable that when the* animal has bled to death, the .quantity of blood is quite small. The young lamb, which ls especially susceptible to the ravages of this worm, usually stays apart from the flock and Urea very easily. The appetite is impaired, and the hind Itnabs appear weak. Usually in the space between the branches of the lower jaw there is a doughy swelling. Thia swelling may exist between the front legs, also, and is due to the bloodless condition of the lamb. The mucous membrane of the eye and mouth become very pale, although it is sometimes brownish in color. Lambs may cough when affected with stomach worms, but the cough is very apt to be due to a complication due to the lung^-worm. The lung worm is very apt to be found on the same pastures that are Infested with the stomach worm. The lung worm is considerably larger than the stomach worm, and pearly white in color', can be found by making an incision through the lung and pressing out the contents of the affected bronchial tubes. The season is now beginning for these worms to be serious, and we wish to call attention to the means whereby their ravages may be overcome, at least to a degree. The life history of these worms is not fully understood, but we know that they lay enormous numbers of minute eggs. The embryo or ycung worm hatched from these eggs is picked up from the grass or water by the sheep or young cattle, and enter the stomach to start the iritating process which we have described. It can be readily understood that a permanent pasture, and especially one that has low, wet places in it, will be most liable to infestation. We do not see how a permanent pasture can be used for sheep or young cattle when these worms have once been introduced. The eggs undobtedly live through the winter and are ready to infest Jthe lambs when turned out In the spring. In view of this fact, we^would recommend that the farmer ^contemplate some method whereby he can maintain a rotation of pastures, and before turning out young stock on the spring pasture, if there is any possibility that they are affected with stomach worms, treat them in a manner to destroy tbe worms before they enter the pasture. The whole idea, of the treatment is to separate the worm from the lamb or calf, and starve out the worm, which probably cannot live for more than a year in the absence of some such animal host. Ws would recommend that the treatment be conducted as follows: Place tbe animals to be treated i n a small enclosure free i r o m a l l litter, give them nothing but water for 24 hours; salt sprinkled with turpentine can be kept before them all tbe time. The treatment may be preceded by a laxative, or not; at any rate, after dieting for 24 hours, -give them onehalf to one ounce of turpentine in from one pint to one quart of fresh skim milk. On the following' day. the animals may be given a laxative, If it has not previously been given, and after 24-hours, they may be-re* •noved to tbe pasture. Where the stomach worm has been a 'serious menace* it would be well to plan en having four pastures*- - Remove i n tbe spring, after tbe ibovfrdescrtbed treatment, to pas. a ture U wnicn should be frse from to- J AUTOMOBILE HAS A WIN6 festatidn^Mfin J u i y t ^ s t > repeat Ute treatment, and remove, 'to pasture II.; on November 4et, give another treatment, and remove to pasture III., or to a lot wh^re they may remain the following >farch; In March, or as sodh 'fts - possible, remove to pasture IV., and on July let to pasture I. again, and so on repeating i n this order. After thiB, the treatment should be only in the fall of the year, just before entering the picture or enclosure for the winter. Lambs that show signs of infestatlori with worms should be removed and treated separately. Avoid stocking the pastures too heavily, k~eep salt before the animals all the time, and avoid low, wet pastures. Animals that die should, be burned up, If possible, otherwise buried very deeply. It may be of great value to know that It ls quite without danger to use infested pastures for other animals than the ruminants, such as cattle, sheep and goats. It will be perfectly safe to pasture colts or hogs on tnes^ badly infested pastures, and where no other use can be found we would recommend this procedure. The writer will he glad to communicate with any farmers that suspect stomach worms in their stock. - ^states. H O W T O E R A D I C A T E C O M M O N B U R D O C K By R. J . Baldwin. One of the rankest growing and most disagreeable weeds in Michigan is the common burdock (Arctium minus). It is not a bad weed in cultivated fields and usually disappears from land on Which a crop rotation Is practised. Uncultivated places, such as old pastures, roadsides, fence corners, orchards and cut over timber lands are places which favor the growth of burdock, and i n such places they become a very great nuisance where farm animals, especially sfteep, come its contact with the bum Simply because it is not a Common Burdock. weed1 to> be feared In field crops burdocks are often allowed! to grow In unused corners, but they are unsightly and are liable to be taken as an indication of lack of tharfflt and careless farming. The burdock Is a biennial, and can be killed: by cutting below the ground. If cut sufficiently low with a heavy mattock or spade that is about the only way to deal with them in places that are not cultivated for faursr. crops* The accompanying cut which is taken from Michigan Experiment Statton Bulletin No. 267, shows the characteristics of the plant and seed. Te Control Chicken Lice. Provisions should be made for a dust bath in every chicken house, for tbe problem of dealing with lice is greatly reduced by its presence. The objection that it creates dust is greatly overcome by its beneficial features and a closed bath with a special window in the south side and accessible by a small opening can be easily constructed which has an additional advantage In that It ls comparatively free from the danger of any dirt 'or litter accumulating from the pen. Fine road dust, finely si'ted coal ashes, etc., are very desirable materials for the dust bath, and the addition of lime, tobacco dust and patent preparations tend to make it moro effective.

"Miss Betty, he's Just like my Uncle Bob was—he ain't afraid of nothing! He totes them pistols of his—loaded —If you notice good you can see where they bulge out his coat!" Hannibal's eyes, very round and big, looked up into hers. "Is he as poor as he seems, Hannibal?" inquired Betty. "He never has no money, Miss Betty, but 1 don't reckon he's what a body would call pore." It might have baffled a far more mature intelligence than Hannibal's to comprehend those peculiar processes by which the Judge sustained himself and his Intimate fellowship with adversity—that lt was his magnificence of mind which made the squalor of his daily lite seem merely a passing phase—but the boy had managed to point a delicate distinction, and Betty grasped something of the hope and faith which never quite died out in Slocum Price's indomitable breast "But you always have enough to eat, dear?" she questioned anxiously. Hannibal promptly reassured her on this point. "You wouldn't let me think anything that was not true, Hannibal— you are quite sure you have never been hungry?" "Never, Miss Betty; honest!" Betty gave a sigh of relief. She had been reproaching herself for her neglect of the child; she had meant to do so much for him and bad done nothing! Now it was too late for her personally to interest herself in his behalf, yet before she left for the east «£e would provide for him. If she had felt it was possible to trust the judge she would have made him her agent, but even ln his best aspect he sevmed a dubious dependence- Tom, for quite different reasons, w«s equally out of the question. She thought of Mr. Mahaffy. "What kind of a man Is Mr. Maliaffy, Hannibal?" "He's an awfui nice man, Miss Betty* only he never lets on; a body's gut to find it out for his own self— he ain't like the judge." "Does he-r^rink, too, iiannibair questioned Betty. "Oh, yes; when he can gat the ltcker, be does." It was evident that Hannibal was cheerfully tolerant ot this weakness on the part of the austere Mahaffy. By this time Betty wast ready to weep over the child, with his knowledge of shabby vice, and his fresh young faith in those old tfjrtsfdems^ians, . "But, no matter what they do, they are very* very kind to you?" she continued tremulously. ..VYes*. ma'am-—why. Miss Betty, they're lovely. men! "And do you ever hear the thlngB t^TrefTdf you learned about at Mrs. ^s«i|^BB«d»jr^ho^ir-....... the judge,is drunk he .talks * heap^atfout W . irtr beautiful, to Hear htm then; you'd love it, Miss Betty," and Hannibal smiled up sweet* ly into* her face. < ' "Does: he have you go to Sundayschool in Raleigh r The boy shook his head.1 4 ?TaH?i got no clothes that's fitten toifreftft«oriso Annies tb fctve^hut Mahaffy were concerned. They were doubtless bad enough, but they could have been worse. "No, ma'am; he done soaked, the label off one of Mr. Pegloe's whisky bottles and pasted lt on the wail Just as high as my chin, so's I can see it good, and he's learnings me that-away! Maybe you've seen the kind of bottle I mean—Pegloe's Mississippi Pilot; Pure Corn Whisky?" But Hannlhal's bright little face fell. He was quick to see that the educational system devised by the judge did not impress Betty at all favorably, she drew him into her arms. "You shall have my books—the books I learned to read out of when 1 was a little girl, HannlbaU" "I like learning from the label pretty well," said Hannibal loyally. "But you'll like the hooka better, dear, when you see them, I know Just where they are, for I happened on them on a shell in the library only the other day." . After they had found and examined the books and Hannibal had grudlngly admitted that they might possess certain points of advantage over the label, he and Bety went out for a walk. It was now late afternoon and the sun was Binklng behind the wall of the forest that rose along the Arkansas coast. Their steps had led them to the terrace—where they stood looking off Into the west lt was here that Betty had said good-by to Bruce Carrlngton—it might have been months ago, and lt was only days. She thought of Charley— Charley, with bis. youth and hope and high courage—unwittingly enough she had led him on to his death! A sob rose in her throat Hannibal'looked up Into her face. The memory of his own loss was never very long absent from his mind, and Miss Betty had been the victim of a similarly sinister tragedy. with Uncle Bob, when he liked you, he Just laid himself out to let you know it!" "That does make a great difference, doesn't it?" agreed Betty sadly, and two piteous tearful eyes were bent upon him. "Don't you reckon if Uncle Bob is alive, like the judge says, and he's ever going to find me, he had ought to be here by now?" continued HdnnlbaJL anxiously. "But it hasn't been such a great while, Hannibal; it's only that so much has happened to you. If he was very badly hurt It may have been weeks before he could travel; and then when he could, perhaps he went back to that tavern to try to learn what had become of you. But we may be quite certain he will never abandon his search until he has made every possible effort to find you, dear! That, means he will sooner or later come to west Tennessee, for there will always be the hope that you have found your way here." v Sometimes I get mighty tired waiting, Miss Betty," confessed the boy. "Seems like I just couldn't wait no longer-—" He sighed gently, and then his face cleared. "You reckon he'll come most any time, don't you, Miss Betty?" "Yes, Hannibal; any day or hour!" "Whoop!" muttered Hannibal softly under his breath. Presently he asked: "Where does that branch take you to?" He nodded toward the bayou at the foot of the terraced bluff. "It empties into the river," answered Betty. Hannibal saw a small skiff beached among the cottonwoods that grew along the water's edge and his eyes lighted up instantly. He had a Juvenile passion for boats. "Why, you got a boat, ain't you, Miss Betty?" This was a charming and an Important discovery. the Judfe. he?flowsrthat as soon" as he c % i n a $ * got to>0r aid^d-s learning me my letters—but wo ain't a book, fliis l e t & v T "reckon ird stump you some* to? guess how he's tte* It for mo to tearnr rHs/e "drawn the letters for you, is tks* tk* w w r v in apito ot herself , S4ttir*rts « t ^ e 6 t f s r » oertain rt> "You Needn't Be Afraid, I Dot Something Important to Say." He recalled those first awful days of loneliness through which he had lived, when there was no Uncle Boh—soft* voiced, smiling snd infinitely companionable. ,*v /'Why, HannlbaV you a*i crying— what about, dear?" asked 5 etty suddenly. "No, ma'am? I ain't crying," said Hannibal stoutly, but his wet lashes gave the lie totals words. . * i "Are you homesick—do you wish to go hack to the judge and Mr. Mahaffy ?" "No,, ma'am—It ain't that—I was just thinking—" 'Thinking about what, dear?" "About my Uncle Boh." The small face wasuyery wistful. "Oh^rand you still miss him so muclc ilannibair' 1 bet I do—I reckon anybody who knew Uncle Boh would never get over missing him; they Just couldn't, Miss Betty I ..Then Judge ig mighty kind* and so U Mr. MaJ^affy—them •wfnl Wad, Miss Betty, *?*'t sesn* they get kinder all tho time—hut Would you like to go down to i t r Inquired Betty.

"What use is she if you don't go rowing In her?" persisted Hannibal* - "Oh, but it Is used. Mr. Tom uses, it in crossing to the other side where they are. dearing land for cotton, i t saves him a long walk or ride about the nosd of the bayou."

The sound she had heard might have been only the rustling of the wind among the branches overhead in that shadowy silence, but Betty's nerves, the placid nerves of youth and perfect health, were shattered. "Didn't you hear something, Hannibal?" she whispered fearfully. For answer Hannibal pointed mysteriously, and glancing in the direction he Indicated, Betty saw a woman advancing along the path toward them. The look of alarm slowly died out of his eyes. "I think it's the overseer'B niece," she told Hannibal, and they kept on toward the boat. The girl came rapidly up the path, which closely followed the irregular line of the shore ln its windings* Once she was seen to stop and glance back over her shoulder, her attitude intent and listening, then she hurried forward again. Just at the boat the three met. "Good evening!" said Betty pleasantly. The girl made no reply to this; she merely regarded Betty with a ilxed stare. A t length she broke the silence abruptly. "I got something I want to say to you—you know who I am, I reckon?" She was a girl of about Betty's own age, with a certain dark, sullen beauty and that physical attraction which Tom, in spite of his vexed mood, had taken note of earlier in the day. "You are Bess Hicks," said Betty. "Make the boy go back toward the house a spell—1 got something I want to say to you." Betty hesitated. She was offended by the girl's manner, which was as rude as her speech. "I ain't going to hurt you—you needn't be afraid of me. I got something important to say—send him off, I tell you; there ain't no time to lose!" The girl stamped her foot impatiently. Betty made a sign to Hannibal and he passed slowly back along tho path. He went unwillingly, aud he kept his head turned that he might see what was done, even if he were not to hear what was said. "That will do, Hannibal—wait there —don't go any farther!" Betty called after him when he had reached a point sufficiently distant to be out of hearing of a conversation carried on in an ordinary tone. "Now, what is it? Speak quickly if you have anything to tell me!" "I got a heap to say," answered the girl with a scowl. Her manner was still fierce and repellant, and she gave Betty a certain jealous regard out of her black eyes which the latter waa at a loss to explain. "Where's Mr. Tom?" she demanded. "Tom? Why, about the place, I suppose—ln Jhis office, perhaps." So it had to do with Tom. . . . Betty felt sudden disgust with the situation, "No, he ain't about the place, either! He done struck out for Memphis two hours after sun-up, and what's more, be ain't coming back here tonight—" There was a moment of silence. The girl looked about apprehensively. She continued, fixing her black eyes on Betty: "You're here alone at Belle Plain—you know what happened when Mr. Tom started for Memphis last time—I reckon you-ail ain't forgot that!" Betty felt a pallor steal wer her face. She rested a hand that shook on the trunk of a tree to steady herself. The girl laughed shortly. "Don't be so scared; I reckon Belle Plain's as good as his if anything happened to you?" By a great effort Betty gained a measure of control over herself. She 4ftook a step nearer and looked the girl steadily in the face. "Perhaps you will stop this sort of talk, and tell me what is going to happen to me—if you know?" she said quietly. "Why do you reckon Mr. Norton was shot? I can tell you why—it was all along of you—that was'why!" The girl's furtive glance* which searched and watched the gathering shadows, came back as it always did to Betty's pale face. "Tour ain't no safer than he was, I tell you!" and she sucked ln her breath sharply bo* tween her full red lips. "What do you mean?" faltered Betty. "Do you reckon you're safe here in the big house alone? Why do you reckon Mr. Tom cleared out for Memphis? It was because he couldn't bo around and have anything; £appen to you—that was why!*' and the girl sank her voice.to a whisper. '"You quit Belle Plain now—tonight—Just as soon as you can!" " "* ?Thf8 is absurd—you are trying to frighten me!" ; „?Wduth*y stop with trying to;frigm> en Charley Norton?" demanded Bess, with harsh insistence. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Easy.

Lhassa, which is the capital ot Tibet, for generations was known as the Forbidden City, because of Its political and religious excluslveness.

The population in Lhasa is about 3?,000. Too Much of a G.ood Thing. "I was very happy," said the professor, "when, afer years of wooing, she finally said 'Yes.'

An English sparrow was the caus of three houses catching fire at Lawrenceburg, Ind., recently, and had it not been for the prompt work of the neighbors and friends all would have been destroyed. The sparrow was building a nest under the eaves of the home of Mrs. Mary Webber, and lt picked up a long cotton string from a pile of rubbish that had Just been burned. With the burning string ln its beak, the sparrow flew to the roof of Mrs. Sophia Shafer's house, then to Otto McCright's house and then to the roof of Emanuel Wuest's home, where it dropped the burning string. A nre started in the shingles of each building. Each was extinguished by neighbors before much damage was done. Shoe Polishes Finett Quality ' 1*1%) M i n i s - t | . f M | U . *'" * l„ ' i m .

Lucking, for Senator, and HHI, for Congressman-at-Large, Winners —Dodds Decisively Defeated. Friday, Aug. 30. Wr ith complete or partial returns from seventy-three counties in Michigan the plurality of Amos*S. Musselman over*F. C. Martindale for the republican nomination for governor is 4,000. Of the ten m i s s i n g c o u n - ties, four are in the upper peninsula— Alger, Iron,- Ontonagon and Luce—in all of which Martindale is likely to run ahead of his Grand Rapids opponent, and six are in the lower peninsula. The latter are A l l e g a n and St. Joseph, both populous counties which may be counted on to go for Musselman, and Montmorency, Otsego, Oscoda and Roscommon, all small counties where Martindale's chances may reasonably be considered the best. The returns from many of the counties which have been heard from ere incomplete, and it will in all likehood take full returns Irom these to show who is the winner. As it stands now, Musselman, being in the lead, has apparently the best of it, but so small is his margin that a few changes in these incomplete counties may turn the tide. The largest two counties in the state —Wayne, which is Martindale's home, and Kent, which is Musselman's own bailiwick—are all in, so that no radical changes may be looked for, but a number of small ones may reverse the present situation. For the Progressive nomination for congressman-at-large W. H . Hill, of Detroit, seems to have won over Julius B. Kirby, of Saginaw, though the figures so far reported are scattering. Alfred Lucking led George P. Hummer practically everywhere for the democratic endorsement for United States senator, though Hummer carried a few counties in the western portion of the state. Of tbe contests for congressional nominations, practically the only one still in doubt is the Tenth district, where Geo. A . Loud .contested for a renomlnation with his ancient enemy, Frank Buell. The Tenth is the largest district in the state and contains more "backwoods" counties than any other, and the returns are slow coming in. Of those counties so far heard from the figures are too close to say who has won, and it will take the full figures for the district to decide. ! • • Work has been started on the new $20,000 city hall to be built in Belding.

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

The question whether the number "13" is really more unlucky than any other number has never been entirely settled. A So. Dak. woman* after thirteen years of misery from drinking coffee, found a way to break the "unlucky spell." Tea is just as injurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the>; drug in coffee.

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

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

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

Next day Miss Moreland's first appearance was down on narrow, tortuous Thames street, where most of the shops are. She was in a smart red runabout with her sister. Again the Pittsburg belle was as big and smart as a Paris model as she piloted her machine deftly through the throng of autos and victorias with all the aplomb of a professional chauffeur. This time Miss Moreland was in blue serge and a flaring flat hat • '\ Approval Stamped at Once. That day at the Casino the newcomer was the center of the liveliest little group on the lawns—it waa plain to Wee that she was "the go."

Almost every little or great ailment throughout your system affects your nerves. Your eyes and liver and lungs and stomach and heart and many other things throughout your system all "take it out" on the poor nerves If they happen to be a bit out of order themselves. Recent discoveries show that 90 per cent of nervous troubles are due to other disorders. Eye-strain Is one cause. Not only those who have to use their eyes constantly, like students and lapidaries and miniature artists and engravers, but city folks who live and work where their vision is restricted are all sufferers from nervous troubles, more or less. The eye wants to get exercise as well as the muscles. Living in narrow streets and gazing out across little alleys against brick walls, rushing into narrow cars and hurrying into small rooms all keep the vision down to narrow limits, and pretty soon eye-strain sets in, and this brings on nervous trouble. And one of the peculiarities of this is J.hat many people will not notice that they have eye-strain because the nervous disorder that results will be so much worse than the cause. Eyestrain is much less common in the country. Working in the stooped position, curving the spine, brings pressure on the tiny blood vessels and this in turn acts on the nerves. "I get so nervous sitting still," one will say. As a matter of fact the continual pressure on the spine reacts on the nerves. As sedentary occupations are more common in the cities there is more nervousness from this cause in cities.

Reams and reams of stuff have been written about the qualifications of a man in most every trade and profession, but when we get right down to cases the same qualities that make a successful clerk would make a successful man in any line. I have read with much amusement articles on the clerk's deportment and things of that sort by men who have built up successful mercantile businesses, and they tell how the clerks should always be neat and clean, finger nails trimmed, voice modulated, and give advice of that nature in large doses. I believe th~at any human being wbo amounts to much, no matter how he earns his living, has enough selfrespect and pride to care for his personal appearance. The two qualifications most necessary to success are. of course, knowing what to do and how to do it. While service must be the watchword of every business, whether it be manufacturing or mercantile, I do not know of any man who must carry oift the word "service" to its fullest extent more than the retail clerk. I believe that salesmanship over the counter calls for just as high an order of salesmanship a* salesmanship on the road, and in my experience behind the retail counter I made it a point to study the character and likes and dislikes of all the regular customers,, so as to make them permanent customers, and to do the same with tbe chance customers so as to make them regular customers. To go on in an abstract way naming the different qualities, specifying them as courage, perseverance* etc., which a clerk should have is simply to enumerate the qualities which are necessary to make any man a success. I. believe that it is the time that ensues between waiting on customers that works most damage in a retail store. TbV clerk should kee^ himself occupied during that time in keeping his stock in shape and figuring out little schemes for displaying the goods-and talking them, BO that when he goes to bat the next time a customer comes to his counter he isn't thinking of matters foreign to the business. If the clerk has any ambition at all, and he Isn't much of a clerk.unless he does have, he desires to become tbe proprietor of the store himself, or to become a traveling salesman. It doesn't make any difference which desire he has. the means to the end are the same—tp study his employer's business as if it were bis own, to know all the why of everything, the buying, the accounting, as well as the selling. I believe that every retail clerk will take a renewed interest in his work if he wilt think of his work not as simply the handing of something across the counter, but as work which 1B the most vital and most important in the business world. Practically all the products of the world are eventually sold across the counter by the retail clerk, and to just the degree that he studies his work and its. significance will he become a factor in the mercantile world.

There are many others who believe they should advertise, and would, if they knew how. By telling them what others have done, are doing and how they did it, it is possible to be an aid to them, in learning how to apply advertising to their own particular needs. They will learn through exchanging and discussing experiences and plans practised by others. These experiences and discussions are to be h a t t by reading, by association, by listening to others talk and discuss advertising. When you once thoroughly feel the necessity of advertising and begin its study it will be found to be one of the most fascinating studies you can make. Its foundation rests upon the science of psychology. What is more entertaining than studying how to influence and direct other people's minds to follow yours? Every advertiser is or should be a firm believer in bringing to the nonadvertiser a knowledge of tbe benefits to be derived from honest, truthful advertising. The influence produced by the advertising of a n article, a city or state, by several individuals, is catholic. The C a t h o l i c i s m , even though each desires to sell only his own particular goods, in proportion, c r e a t e s a greater demand than does a single advertiser. Each thereby receives greater returns than if he had the entire field and had to develop it himself. In a few instances the public's confidence has been imposed upon by dishonest advertisers. This has caused some doubt to exist as to the truthfulness and honesty of all advertisers. This d o u b t has almost been eliminated. It is a fact n o w that unless an advertiser's g o o d s a r e meritorious and reliable, he cannot be permanently successful. You have heard men Bay that they d o n ' t believe in advertising, that they give the customer the benefit saved thereby. That sounds very nice to the customer who wants to believe it without Investigating. Have you ever found that he sold as good goods at a better price than the man who advertises? Who pays for the advertising, anyhow? The advertiser doesn't, for he would go broke. The consumer doesn't, for he would refuse to trade with the advertiser. Nobody pays for It—but it pays both the advertiser and Che consumer. As the advertising becomes more effective, demand for the commodity increases and its cost of manufacture and selling decreases to the point where the manufacture and selling becomes BO highly specialized that the cost is cut from 50 to 100 per cent. The advertiser then finds that by lowering his selling price a larger field ls opened up among a class of people who before could not afford to pay the price. P E R S U A D I N G M A R Y !

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

Mrs. Dickson shook her head. 4 T m afraid she will, James—girls are that way." "You were not—eh?" Mr. Dickson pinched his wife's plump cheek as he* passed on into his study. "Ob, there never was anyone just like you, James. I think Ford Layton comes nearer than anybody else. I wish Mary could see it in the same light." "She seems to like him, too." "The child is charming to nim-^ only I'm afraid she ls rather dazzled by Billy Disbdow." "Agatha, my dear, suppose yon just drop a word of advice—if she doesn't take it well, send her to me," suggested Mr. Dickson, as he left the room.

"Yes, dear. Sit down here a moment, Mary," and Mrs. Dickson, With a wistful look at the starry eyes and the tender lips, sighed at the idea of giving up this sweet daughter to any one of the young men who persistently wooed her.

"Yes." p "I'm sorry, dear, but you are sure* you are not making a mistake?" Mrs. DicksolTshrrri^led over the words.

"The deuce!" exclaimed Mary's father, frowning, When Mary came into the study to tell him that dinner would be ready In fifteen minutes and there was barely time for him to dress, Mr. Dickson pulled his only daughter down on his knee. "I met Billy Disbrow coming oat of the gate, Mary 1 hope you won't be foolish." He hesitated.

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

The young man fitted the key into the lock of box number 320, and drew down tbe door, showing the little steel vault packed with banknotes. He took out the money in packages each enlosed by a printed slip, such as are commonly used by banks, and marked "Two thoussnd dollars."*' Mr. Robert Henderson handed me one end of the jewel-case to hold, and, with his free hand, he stowed these five packs of bills into the little handbag. When he had tbet last one safely in, he relaxed his grip on the jewelcase, locked his hapdbag and hurried out of the bank. I handed the case to Miss Caroline Pickney. She opened it and caressed the jewels lovingly. But she said no word, and gave no evidence of tbe great emotion tugging at her except the trembling of her hands. Then she put the ea^ejn her bosom and went down to ber^Bterjage in the company of Mr. Montague^fjhomas. I went out behind the palrStf them. Not in aU my life had I b oughly puzzled.

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

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

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

They came on my hands. The inside of my hands were all littleJumps as though full of shot about^ one-sixteenth of an inch under the skin. Then they went to the outside and* between and all over my fingers. It also began on the bottoms of my feet and the calves of my legs, and itch, oh, my! I never had anything like i t and hope I never will again.' The Itching was terrible. My hands gtft^ao I could scarcely work. * '"1'tried' different eczema ointments but without results. I also took medicine for it but it did no good. I saw the advertisement for a sample of Cuticura Ointment and Soap and sent for one. T n e r did me so much good I bought some more, using them as per directions^ and in about three weeks I was well again. Cuticura Soap and Ointment entirely cured me." fSignedJ^enj.

' The Expenditures W i l l Foot Up Over a Billion Dollars—Last Session's Expenditures Were ¢1,- - i 026,000,000. Sobered by the- embarrassments of Saturday's all-night session of filibusters and disagreements, congress ad justed its differences Monday, invited President Taft up to the capitol once more aad at 4:30 o'clock Monday afternoon wrote ''tinis" after the proceedings of the second session of tbe sixty-second congress. Infested twig to right; immature scales in center; full grown female scale above; infested pear fruit to left, showing reddish blotches. (By F R A N K L I N SHERMAN, JR., Entomologist, North Carolina Depart- • ment of Agriculture.) The San Jose scale does great harm to orchard trees which beebme Infested, unless they be thoroughly and persistently treated. In order to combat it to the best advantage some Knowledge of its iffe-history, habits, means of spread, etc., is necessary. Trees that are badly infested with the San Jose scale appear as if they had been dusted over with ashes. If the -branches and twigs where the insects are numerous be scraped with a knife It will be seen that this unnatural covering Is quite easily removed, coming off in little flaky patches, Each of the little circular gray objects is a separate scale, each covering a tiny yellow insect underneath. On thickly Infested branches they often become so crowded that the scales are piled over one another so that the real bark of tho tree is not visible at all. Branches and twigs which are only slightly or moderately infested will not be thus completely covered over, and the bark may be of «its ordinary color and appearance except here and there along the branches where the scattering scales are found. The largest full-grown scales, are about the size of an average pinhead. They can, therefore, be detected by any person who has in the beginning an intelligent idea of the insect, has sharp eyes, and who happens to look in the right place. Usually the farmer or fruit grower does not know that there is any serious trouble until the trees begin to die. By that time they are covered by the Bcales and present^the ashy appearance. Then, if the owner finds that his trouble is San Jose scale, he is apt to think that it is only on those trees that present the unnatural appearance, when in reality it may already be on every tree in the orchard. Such a mistake often costs the lives of many trees, since the owner,' instead of examining closely and treating every infested tree, as he should do, simply takes out those which are already in dying condition, and then, because he se*s no more of similar appearance, he imagines he has exterminated it, when as a matter of fact other trees moderately or slightly Infested still stand in the orchard and soon begin to die, having in the meantime spread the insect into still other trees, and so on, until the whole orchard may be ruined. Where the scales are not numerous enough to crowd one another each individual grows to somewhat larger size than when they are crowded. The San Jose Scale. The full-grown female insects always remain under their circular scales and there give birth to their fested trees once each year. living young, for this species dees not lay eggs as is the case with most insects. The males, on tbe other hand, finally develop into tiny two-winged fly-like insects, but in consequence of their sex they can not play much part in spreading the insect, as young can only be born where females are present, and these, as we hav(e stated, remain attached to the twigs, The insect was not discovered in the eastern United States until August, 1893. At that time it was found in Charlottesville, Va. It was soon found that the infested trees were purchased from nurseries which had been introducing stock from California. Then fruitgrowers and entomologists began to inspect orchards especially for this pest; and in 1&97, five years after its discovery in Virginia, it was known to exist In twenty states east of the Mississippi river. One thorough spraying (or washing) each year with proper remedies, will keep the San Jose scale in good control. This is amply proven by the experience of hundreds of our fruitgrowers and farmers every year. It is best to give the treatment in late winter, before the buds have opened (XeTh^uary or early March), but any tlmeoitfter the leaves are shed in fall and before the buds open in spring will do.yfitoraying with a regular spray pumpcjs by far the best method. For this treatment the great majority of growers depend on limesulphur wash (either commercial or the home-made), or soluble oil (of which there are several brands). Although the weight, of opinion is in favor of late'winter as tho one best time to spray for scale, yet a few people prefer fall spraying, and some even spray both in fall and late winter, though we do not think this is necessary as a regular practice. Pall spraying Is done after all fruit has been gathered, when the leaves have begun to drop, or soon after they have dropped. For fall spraying we believe there are special advantages in using the soluble oil3, as they will penetrate more of the small crevices and reach a larger percentage of the small young scales which pass the winter. On the other hand the lime-sulphur solutions leave a coating on the branches so that when they are applied in late winter this coating acts as a considerable protection to the trees during spring and early summer. So, if one wants to come as near as possible to exterminating the scale— we believe that the best plan would be to use soluble oil in fall and limesulphur in late winter. But we want to emphasize the fact that the insects are so small that absolute extermination is impracticably (if not absolutely impossible), and even at the best we must expect, and plan, to treat in- SEEDS FOR SPRING CROPS SOWN IN FALL Ground Should Be Deep and Mellow, With Moist Spil, Until Plants A?e Rooted. ; > Seeds for the spring crops are sown in September, from 'the fifteenth to the twentieth, for the first* sowing, and the^flrst week inOctbber for $he late seeding, s^ysthe^Baiqmore Amer~ icon.

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

There was a soldier i n T^ondon, after the Boer war, who com- I'iained of excruciating neuralgic pains in his right foot. This very much amused his friends, for he had lost his : right leg. •; ! The explanation was that the pain \ happened te be in the trunks of -those nerves, which had sent branches to i the foot. o | Sometimes a patient comes to a doctor complaining of pain in the knee, and he is greatly surprised when the doctor tells him that the site of the affection is not the knee, but the hip. W e x are a l l familiar with the pain under the shoulder blade which comes from an afflicted liver. The stomach, too, can produce pain in many parts of the body. A disordered stomach wiH give us pain as far away as the head, and* when one gets a cramp in his toe, i t ls often due to acidity of the stomach. Swallow a pinch of soda and the cramp will disappear. A n aching tooth will produce neuralgic pains in the face, and very often a violent pain at the back of the head is due to the faraway kidneys, which themselves may suffer no pain at the time. His process embraces two parts* In the first place, the books ate placed in a "beater" where a strong current of air opens every leaf and an aspirator sucks out the dust and deposits it l n aseptic water;' then they are suspended i n a disinfecter, the covers being bent back and held by clips so that the leaves are widely opened and placed over a heater which for a time subjects'them to a temperature of 107 degrees Fahrenheit/ The paper is not damageif and the efficiency of the process is said to have been demonstrated beyond question.—Harper's Weekly.

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

A horse belonging to John Durham wandered into a field on the Clark farm and Clark sent the boy to drive the animal back to the Durham pasture. While doing so the boy, it is alleged, jabbed a knife into the horse's throat and side. Later the horse fell dead in the field. Some time ago young Clark got into trouble for killing twelve turkeys belonging to Wallace Daily by spearing them with a stick having a sharp nail In the end. "LET U8 M^VE A HEART TO HjEART TALK."

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

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

C H A P T E R XIX (Continued). As thpy stumbled forward through •the thick obscurity he continued his personal revelations, the present enterprise having roused whatever there <was of sentiment slumbering ln his soul. At last they came out on a •wide bayou; a white mist hung above It, and on the low shore leaf and /branch were dripping with the night daws. Keeping close to the water's edge Slosson led the way to a point where a skiff was drawn up on the &aak. "Step in, ma'am," he said, when he had launched it. ' "J will go no farther!" said Betty tn desperation. She fen an overmastering fear, the full horror of the junknown lay hold ot her, and Bhe g*ve a piercing cry for help. Slosson swung about on his heel and seized her. r\>r u i moment she struggled to escape, xbut the man's big hand pinioned her. **No more of that!" he warned, then he recovered himself and laughed. "Vou could yell till you was black ln the face, ma'am, and there'd ha no one to hear you." "Where are you taking me?" and Betty's voice faltered between the sudden sobs that choked her. "Just across to George Hlcks's." T o r what purpose?" "Tou'H know in plenty of time." And Slosson leered at her through the darkness. ''Hannibal is to go with me?" asked Betty tremulously. "Sure!" agreed Slosson affably. •"Your nigger, too—quite a party." Betty stepped Into the skiff. She it Here's Yo' Guests, Old W o m a n r felt her hopes quicken—she was thinktag of Bess; whatever the girl's motives, she had wished her to escape. She would wish it now more than ever since the very thing she had striven to prevent had happened. Slossont seated himself and took up the oars. Bunker followed with Mantribal and they pushed off. No word waa spokes until they disembarked on the opposite shore, when Slosson addressed Bunker. MI reckon I can manage that young tip-stave?; yon go back after Sherrod stnd the nigger," he said. He conducted his captives up the tank aad they entered a clearing. Looking across this Betty saw where a cabin window framed a single square ^f light They advanced toward this and presently the dark outline of the cabinet itself became distinguishable. A moment later Sloseon paused, a door yielded to his tend, and Betty and the boy were "- thrust into the room where Murrell . bad held his conference with FentresB and Ware. The two women were now tts only occupants, and the mother, gross aad shapeless, turned aa aa* presslonless race on the Intruders; put the daughter shrank Into the ^ ! i s f i & * > tyr burning glance fixed on m t yo' guests, old lady!^ said ; 0 :^,$ktoim-. Mrs. Hicks rose from the three-legged stool oa which she was sitting,. "Hoed me the candle, Bess/^en* ordered. . • -> ' ,, . . w v\> .At one side of the room was a steep iflStit ot stairs wwch *#*aaccess ,to the loft overhead. Mrs. Hicks, by a gesture, fjljgnifled that ttetty and Hanjbibal wf&tiitp, iacendUthese ^stairs; they di<t^aB<Lr<wn<! themselves*on «a narrow tending inclosed by a par- ^t)0tt Pf tyng^pmkgi (hia partition was pierced by a low door. Mrs. Hicks, iwho had! followed close at their heels, handed the candle to iietty. "In yonder!" she said briefly, nodding toward the door. "Wait!" cried Betty In a whisper. "No," isaid the woman with an almost masculine surliness of tone, "l got nothing to say." She pushed them into the attic, and, closing the door, fastened it with a stout wooden bar. Beyond that door, which seemed to have closed on every hope, Betty held the tallow dip aloft, and by its uncertain and flickering light surveyed her prison. The briefest glance sufficed. The room contained two shake-down beds and a stool; there was a window in the gable, but a piece of heavy plank was spiked before i t "Miss Betty, don't you be scared," whispered Hannibal. "When the Judge hears we're gone, him and Mr. Mahaffy will try to find us. They'll go right off to Belle Plain—the Judge is always wanting to do that, ouly Mr. Mahaffy never lets him—but now he won't be able to stop him." "Oh, Hannibal, Hannibal, what can he do there—what can any one do there?" And a dead pallor overspread the girl's face. To speak of the blind groping of her friends but served to fix the horror ot their situation in her mind. "I don't know, Miss Betty, but the judge Is always thinking of things to do; seems like they was mostly things no one else would ever think ot." Betty had placed the candle on the stool and seated herself on one of the beds. There was the murmur of voices in the room below; she wondered if her fate wag under consideration and what that fate was to be. HanntbaU who had been examining ihe window, returned to her side. "Miss Betty, if we could Just get out of this loft we could steal their skiff aad row down to the river; l reckon they got just the one boat; the only way they could get to us would be to swim out and it they done that we could pound 'em over the head with the oars*-the least lit* tie thing sinks you when you're in the water.** But tats murderous fancy of his failed to Interest Betty. Presently they heard Sherrod aad Bunker come up from the shore with George. Slosson Joined them and there was a brief discussion, then an Interval of silence, and the sound of voices again as tho three white men moved back across the field ln the direction of the bayou. There succeeded a period or utter sttltaels. both la ttfce cabin, and ln tbe clearing, a somber hush that plunged Betty yer deeper lif; tjes^air. Wild thoufchts*assalled her, thoughts against which*! she struggled with aif the Strength of her will. \ In that hour of stress Hannibal was sustainied by bis faith ln tbe judge, tffc'safc his patron's, powerful and piCture4«oa "tatefcfgehce applied coucelvable that this could prove otherwise than disastrous to Mr. Slosson, and he endeavored to share the confidence he was feeling with Betty, but there was something so forced and unnatural ln the girl's voice and manner when she discussed his conjectures that he quickly fell Into an awed silence. At last, and It must have been some time after midnight troubled slumbers claimed him. No moment of forgetfulness came to Betty. She was waiting for what—she did not know! The candle burnt lower and lower and finally went out and she was left in darkness, but again she was conscious ot sounds from the room below. At first it was only a word or a sentence, then the guarded speech became a steady monotone that ran deep into the night. Eventually this ceased and Betty fancied she heard sobs. to C H A P T E R X X . • Murrell Shows His Hand. At length points of light began to show through chinks in the logs. Hannibal roused and sat up, rubbing his eyes with the backs ot his bands. "Wasnt you able to sleep none?" he inquired. Betty shook her head. He looked at her with an expression of troubled concern. "How soon do you reckon the judge will know?" he asked. "Very soon now, dear." Hannibal was greatly consoled by this opinion. . "Miss Betty, he will love to find us-> "Hark! What was thatr tor Betty had caught the distant splash of oars. Hannibal found a chink in the logs through which by dint of much squintlag he secured a partial view of the bayou. \ "They're fetching up a keel boat to the shore. Miss Etetty—it's a whooperi" he announced. Betty's heart sank; she never doubted the purpose for which that boat was brought into the bayou, or that it nearly copcemed herself. ^ Halt an hour later Mrs. Hicks appeared with their breakfast, it was ln vain that Betty attempted to engage her in conversation. Either she cherished some personal feeling of dislike for her prisoner, or else the situation in which she herself was pitted had little to recommead it even to her dull mind, aad her dissatisfaction waa expressed la Per attitude toward the girl. Be^tty passed the long hours of moralag la dreary speculation concerning what was happening at Belle Plain, In the end she realised that tiie day could go by and her absence occasion ao alarm. Steve might reasonably suppose George had driven her into Raleigh or to tbe^Bowens' and that she had kept the carriage. Finally'all her hope cantered bh Judge Price. He would expect liannibat during the morning; perhaps when the toy did! not arrive he; would bo tempt solving the mystery of their disap- \ ed to go out to Belle Plata id dia ance. She wondered what theories would offer themselves to his ingenious mind, tor she sensed some* thing of that Indomitable energy which in the face of rebuffs and laughter carried aim into the thick ot every sensation. At noon Mrs. Hicks, as sullen as in the morning, brought them their dinner. She had scarcely quitted the loft when a shrill whistle pierced the silence that hung above the clearing. It was twice repeated, and the two women were heard to go from the cabin. Perhaps half an hour elapsed, then a step became audible on the packed earth of the dooryard. Some one entered the room below and began to ascend* the narrow stairs, and Betty's fingers closed convulsively about Hannibal's. This was neither Mrs. Hicks nor her daughter, nor SlosBon with his clumsy- shuffle. There was a brief pause when the landing was reached, but it was only momentary; a hand lifted the bar, the door was thrown open, and Its space framed the figure ot a man. It was John Murrell. Standing there he regarded Betty ln silence, but a deep-seated fire glowed in his sunken eyes. The sense of possession was raging through him, his temples throbbed, a fever stirred his blood. Love, such as it was, he undoubtedly felt for her, and even his giant project, with all ita monstrous ramifications, was lost sight ot for the moment. She was the inspiration for it all, the goal and reward for which he struggled. "Bf ty!" the single word fell softly from his lips. He stepped into the room, closing the door as he did so. Tho girl's eyes were dilating with a mute horror, for by some swift, intuitive process of the mind. Which asked nothing of the logic of events, but dealt only with conclusions. Murrell stood revealed as Norton's murderer. Perhaps he read her thoughts, but he had lived in his degenerate ambitions until the common Judgments or the understanding of them no longer existed for him. That Betty had loved Norton seemed Inconsequential even; lt was a memory to be swept away by the force or his greater passion. So he watched her smilingly, but back of the smile waa the menace of unleashed Impulse. "Can't you find some word of welcome for me, Bettjr?" he asked at length, still softly, still with something of entreaty in his tone. "Then it was you—not Tom—who had me brought here!" She could have thanked Ood had lt been Tom, whose hate was not to be feared as she feared this man's love. "Tom—no!" and Murrell laughed. "You didn't think I'd give you up? I am standing with a halter about my neck, and ail for your sake-—who'd risk as much for love of you?" He seemed to expand with savage pride that this was so, and took a step to* ward her. "Don't come near me!" cried Betty, eyes blazed, and she looked at him • wTth^Iohthing. "You'll learn* to be kinder," he exulted. "You wouldn't see me at Belle Plain; what was left tor me but to have you brought here?" While Murrell was speaking the signal that had told of his own presence on the opposite shore of the bayou was heard again. This served to arrest his attention. A look ot uncertainty passed over his face, then he made an impatient gesture aa if be dismissed t some thought that has! forced itself upon him, and turned to Betty. "You don't ask what my purpose Is where; you are concerned; yon have no curiosity on that score?" She endeavored to meet his glance with % glance as resolute, then her "eyes, sought the boy's upturned face. "I am going to send you down river, Betty. Later I shall Join you tn New Orleans, and when 1 leave the country you shall go with me—" "Never!" gasped Betty. "As my wife, or however you choose to call It I'll teach you what a man's love is like," he boasted, and extended his hand. Betty shrank from him, aad his hand fell at his side. Ho locked at ber steadily out of his deepsank eyes, in which blazed the fires of his passion, aad as he looked, her face paled aad flushed by turns. "You may learn to be Mad to me, Betty/ he sejd. "You may find it win t » worth your while." Betty made ao answer; she only gathered Mannibai closer to her side. "Why not accept what I have to offer, Betty?" Agaia he went nearer her, aad agaia she) Bhrank from blm, but the madaess of his otooiji was ia the ascendant He seized her aad drew'her to aim. Sfco struggled to free herself, but bis Angers tightened about her.

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

West No Place for Consumption. Physicians in all of the eastern states will be asked by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to stop sending consumptives in the last stages of tuberculosis, and without sufficient funds to the southwestern part of the United States In search of health. While it is impossible to tell accurately how many consumptives there are at present living in the states ol Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, southern California, and Western Texas, 11 is probable that no less than ten per cent of the 6,000,000 people in this territory have tuberculosis themselves, or have come to the west because some member of their family have had it. Every year, the health authorities estimate, not less than 10,000 consumptives, hopelessly dis eased, come west to die. For these cases, the climate of this section of the country can do nothing, and they are compelled to die in strange surroundings and thousands of miles from home and friends. The National Association points out further that from 50 to 60 per cent of these advanced cases are too poor to provide the proper necessaries of life, and they are either starved to death or compelled to accept the meager charity which this part of the country affords. A FOOD CONVERT Good Food the True Road to Health. The pernicious habit some persons still have of relying on nauseous drugs to relieve stomach trouble keeps up the patent medicine business and helps keep up the army of dyspeptics. Indigestion—dyspepsia — is caused by what is put into the stomach i n the way ot improper food, the kind that BO' taxes the strength of the digestive organs they are actually crippled.

Z. HARTZELL.) The grape leaf hopper is^ an important pest of the grape and during the past two years it has been; on the Increase in some sections. In many vineyards the necessity for ^efficient methods of control has been apparent. [Jffhe insect weakens the vines by pierci n g the epidermis of the under side of the leaf and sucking the cell sap, thus injuring the cells and exposing them 4.0 the drying action of the air. This injury results in a decrease in the amount of wood, and it also affects the quantity and quality of the fruit. Fruit from badly infested vines is poorly ripened. The \$$f h o p f e e r ^ * sucking insect and lives on the under sides of the grape leaves. Eggs are laid during June by ,tfie overwintering adults, and by the beginning of July the young nymphs are on the vines in abundance. These nymphs pass through five stages or lnstars before becoming adults. Nymphs of the first brood mature during the latter part of July and early part of August, and during normal seasons many of them lay eggs from which .develops a partial- second brood. During 1911 a complete second brood was observed. Young nymphs of the first instar were found as late as October 1. Most of these nymphs become adults before the leaves drop from the grape vine. The adults hibernate among rubbish, grass, weeds and fallen leaves. They are active during the warmer days of the hibernating period and feed on various grasses, preferring the leaves of bush fruits during the spring before returning, to the young foliage of the grape vines. During the summer the adults are of a yellowish appearance, being covered with darker yellow lines. These darker area's turn salmon before the insects leave- the vines in the fall and they become dark red wjien the in-_ sects are in their winter quarters. As soon as they have led again upon grape fblia&e in the* spring these areas become yellow. Experiments have proven that a, spray containing 2-100 of one per <oeurt nicotine is the most effective and safest contact insecticide for the control of the grape leaf hopper; This must be directed against the nymnhs, which are hit by applying the spray to the under sides of the leaves. The application of the spray for this insect can be done by the usual hand spraying with trailing hose or by an automatic leaf hopper sprayer. The grape hopper, being a sucking insect, secures its food by inserting its proboscis or beak through the epidermis or skin of the leaf, piercing the underlying tissue and sucking up the cell sap. Having satisfied its hunger it withdraws its beak and wanders about the leaf. With the withdrawal •of the proboscis the injured leaf tissue is exposed to the drying action of the air, which not only completes the destruction of the injured cells but dries out the surrounding cells, thus causing a small portion of the leaf to die. This area is small but the accumulative effect is of importance in the economy of the plant. These injured parts turn yellow and, as the injuries increase by the feeding of the insects Watching the development of the in> sects. -t ; The proper contact insecticide must, be used and aV tbe proper strength.\ Ftorty per cent, nicotine should be used! one part to 1,600 parts of water, aiid: 2.7 per cent, nicotine should be used one part to 150 parts of water. Sufliclent spray*5'mixture must be used to drench the insects. A pressure of from 125 to 150 pounds per square inch is necessary/ The under sides of the leaves must be thoroughly hit by the spray. Tho height of the vines, the manner of rVuIt on Damaged Vines. trimming and the direction of the wind must all be taken into consideration. One should examine the under sides of the sprayed leaves from time to time .to see that the nozzles are properly adjusted. Spraying as directed, one would use nearly 150 gallons of spray material per acre where the foliage is dense. Where vines are weak or young and the foliage is not dense, one can secure good results by using discs with slightly smaller apertures, thus using less spray per acre. One's judgment must govern him in the use of material economically. A With the use of 150 gallons of material per acre, using the nicotine preparations at the present prices, it would cost about $1.25 per acre for material to control the grape leaf hopper for a season. QUAIL PROVEN AS A FRIEND OF FARMER m-—wn- wn t*£m** ,t t*oi*wi tf»a ltlt©as?e. l%ey j one. Oa* mast judge tons** 1 Description of This Industrious Little Bird, Commonly Called Bob White. Nature Leaf Hopper. the leaves become dotted with spots until by September these areas are so numerous as to cause the leaves to have a decidedly yellow appearance when contrasted with healthy foliage. It is not, u^usHal^to ,#nd 100 leaf hopper nymphs on a single leaf. If each insect should feed only twice each day and remain on, the leaf for a period of two months wo .would find that there had accumulated on the leaf 12,000 injured areas. This would be a moderate damage; for counts show that* leaves of average size, if badly infected, may have as many as 20,000 s u c i injured areas. >. •• ^ Thus there are two factors i n the work of the leaf hopper; the removal of the cell sap by the leaf hoppers as food; and* the destruction of tissue by the drying out and death of the; cells surrounding those pierced by the insects. The latter is the more important H^faetor..: The death of these cells' means a lessening of the growth of wood and a decrease in the yield of fruit. To obtain efficient results against the leaf hopper it is necessary to observe certain rales. The spraying must be, done at the projtef time. This time will v*r* with t h e season, but the spratfag mast be done whec. the maximum number-of nympbs «re piessat, jbus killing ft* largest number of insects,^wi^>JuVuaUy Ione. The quail, the "bob-white" whose call floats softly up from the meadows in cool twilights and dewy summer mornings, is almost too well known to need description. Nearly every boy and girl who can whistle has returned^ his salute and heard it again and again, as the bird seems to search in bewilderment for that new note which he does not quite understand. "More rain" grandfather is likely to say, when he hears the call in the morning. "Bob-wh'te is calling for more rain." But though you may hear him it does- not follow that you may see him easily, unless your neighborhood is friendly or there are good game laws rigidly enforced. The quail has suffered much at the hands of the man with the gun, and the man at the plow has suffered too, for when the quail is gone grasshoppers and many other insect enemies of growing crops have things all their own way. A clean, white throat as full and fluffy as a lace jabot, is one of bobwhite's first recognition marks, and the white or lemon-colored lines that run back over his head from beak to shoulders are another. This leaves him a neat little brown cap in the middle of his head and gives him a somewhat saucy apeparance. No bird can boast as large a family as tbe quail, and it requires the sharpest of eyes to find the' nest, hidden as it is ln grass and sometimes covered entirely, with a side entrance which looks as innocent as a mere tuft of straw lifted by field mice'. ' There are sometimes as many as threo tiers' of eggs, piled upon each other, and how so small a' bird can cover so many Is a mystery. It is related in ''The Birds of Ohio," that one winter a famil? of quail came regularly every evening to a feeding place where grain was kept ,for them, and afterward slept under an evergreen tree fh the yard. Here ttiey were seen, one very stormy af' ternon wlien they had to seek'shelter early, huddled into a perfect circle, heads out, feathers fluffed up and every tall helping to shelter its heigh* bor. ' There are few birds, indeed, that cannot be brought hear by keeping feed and water ready for them. Pigs' Rations.

After being shot twice Eisy died at the city hospital about 15 minutes after his arrival there in the police ambulance. The shooting occurred In an alley just west of the Washington street mills. His body was picked up about 10 feet from the street. One bullet had struck his right arm near the elbow and another entered the body near the top of the right hip and came out through the abdomen on the left side. During the few minutes he survived he was in great agony from the effects of the wounds. It is reported from one source that the shooting was the result of a plot by which Eisy and a pal hoped to secure possession of guns; that soldiers went on with the deal in order to catch the men; that the men and the soldiers met by appointment, and that after some dickering officers sho> at the men, one of whom escaped. The attorney-general has promised a statement when the investigation is finished. A thorough probe of the shooting is to be instituted at once by the civil authorities. Capt. Biackman, in 'command-of the provisional troops who are guarding Jackson prison, admitted, it is said, that he fired the shot that killed Eisy. "I'm awfully eorrv about it," said Capt. BTacknian. ,TT didn't"'intend to kill him. I shot at his legs, but it was a ciuick shot, and it took effect higher on his body than I intended it should. 1 had to shoot quick as he had a rifle which we had delivered to him according to previous arrangements, raised in a threatening manner, and I believe if I had not shot ag I did he would have brained one of our men*. "It was reported to me Friday that this foreigner hnd approached Privates 31 cA rcUo and Jack^on_ with a proposition to feet "possession of some of the state's fire arms. They told ins they had agreed to meet him at 12 o'clock Friday night and deliver the guns. I told them to go ahead with it and we would arrest the men. Lieutenant Smith and ' myself secreted ourselves where we could see .the deal made' and hear what was sajd. After they handed Eisy the rifles he stuck them between his legs, and as was paying the privates they told him he was under arrest. At that moment he stepped back and raised one of the rifles in a threatening attitude. I fired three shot at him. Lieutenant Smith didn't shoot. He was not beside me, but was on watch as we thought there were two men vin the deal. When Eisy met the privates and dickered with them on the street Friday he had anotherjnan with him but we didn't see anything of him Friday night." Capt. Blackman's statement that he killed Eisey astonished the city, and when the populace recovered from the first shock comment flew thick and fast. Many openly condemn him, while others excuse him on the ground that he made an unfortunate mistake at the cost of a human life.

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

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

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

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

"Well." he said, "I guess the dama foot has beat God this time. It don't look to me as if even He could sava him now."

Seeks to A d v a n c e Herself b y Using D u p e s IS, By ISABEIXE HATCH O'NEILL ^Br SB ADISTINCTION should be made between a flirt and a coquette. Man receives from woman about what he demands, not- only in her mental attitude toward him, but even in the details of her attire—the wearing of tight corsets and high-heeled shoes, at fhe expense of her health and her physique. If a man seeks sincerity and earnestness in a woman, he usually finds those qualities. Many men grow weary of the deeper side of a woman's character. So, in order to please and hold them, Bhe uses the gifts which nature has given her. Few men comprehend the magnanimity of a woman's sacrifice, the depth of her affections* and how her effort to please, that is, her coquetry, is often by the means to an end—to bind more closely to her the man she loves. Such a woman often leads a man to the gate of his inner being and helps him to awaken and preserve the greatness and purity that lie sleeping there. The "flirt," on the contrary, is a destroyer, a heartless, selfish creature, living like a parasite on the society to which she contributes nothing1, grasping all the adulation and enjoyment within her reach, heedless p£ the wounds which her acts produce. A flirt must have both physical and mental attractions, but she need not be handsome or even pretty. Bright and vivacious she must be. She must know how to ingratiate herself into a man's heart, flatter him, cater to all his bobbies and make him believe that he is the one man in all the world for her. She must be a good listener. Men are her toys, to be used according to what they have to give—some for the theater, others for good dinners or for whatever they may have to bestow. The flirt seeks to advance herself socially or financially by using her dupes to forward her own selfish ends. But ther are men flirts, too, in abundance. How many women have had to meet the disagreeable start, the insulting, insinuating smile of the male flirt on the street, the cars and in other public places. He is quite as dispicable a character as the woman flirt, and far more dangerous, with his subtle, seductive flatteries, his sophistries, his plausible, beguiling manner—a creature to be both shunned and scorned. As long as these monsters survive on the face of the earth, and are allowed to glide like poisonous serpents into the affections of innocent and unsuspecting women, just so long will women be betrayed. The flirt, then, whether man or woman, is a subject of pity and contempt, for, although liberally endowed by nature with attributes which might have been used to bless mankind, they forsake the good and follow the evil, abandoning themselves to the heartless selfishness. Baron Gostav voa Taube. Some of the Conventional Charges Against America Are Answered With Unusual Spirit by the Distinguished Polish Traveller, Baron von Taube* HERE ARE THE CHARGES MADE Girls* Vanity Boxes "Doll Rags9 9 By Alice WUMams, La Parte, Ind. Recently there was quite a discussion regarding girls with vanity boxes and the latest thing in "doll rags," and their demanding of their friends expensive amusements. Let me cite a personal experience which from observation is most common. There were two girls. One was neat and moderately modern in dress, intelligent and a good listener, the other vapid and rattlebrained, but dressed beautifully. Her only creed is dress, and she is gratified in this because, being an only child, her parents give their all to her. The other, being an orphan and living on a limited income, bas to be satisfied with being neat. These two, strangely enough, were chums. They met men who, it is said, have, judgment and discerning powers. Did they choose the plain girl? Never. And why? For the most simple reason—she didn't have on the latest agony. They never waited to see whether there was any character. She was beyond the pale. Tiring of this sort of thing, she decided to do the picture shows and theaters alone and stroll down side streets on Sunday afternoons whistling to herself when no one was looking.

Americans worship only money and what can be bought by or reckoned in money. Their sole contribution to the world's civilization is a number of engineering and mechanical devices. Even in machinery they do not, however, excel, since it ls invariably made badly. American machinery never lasts; It l i made to come to an early scrap heap. Their reputed business capacity is a myth. Really, they have only the forms of business; they are slower and more unbusinesslike than any other people. American education is superficial and vulgar. It does not produce scholars/ or men of taste, but only quaint learned men and vulgarians. American polities are more corrupt than any the world has known. American public servants are, like Russian officials, open to bribery without exception. American statesmen are almost invariably without education and selfmade. American foreign politics are slippery. Their public life ls vulgar and hysterical. The Americans are de-civilized. They have no manners whatever. America has no high society. Wealthy persons live in hotels; the moderately rich ln wretched flats. American women are sillf, sexless and expensive. American morality is Puritanical In profession, but licentious ln fact. Marriages are but a matter of form, and men as well as women unchaste. While professing to despise, they secretly admire European, and especially English, aristocracy. They will pay anything for an English title,, an English education, an English heirloom, an English work of art, etc. But they appreciate none of these things except enviously. America's national characteristics are those of weakness, being bully, \ bounce, brag and bluster. \ American children are spoiled brats, I have read many articles published recently ou the question "Do animals think ?" and found them of interest I would, however, be more interested were the subject changed to "Do human beings think?"

All are potentially equal, and consequently there is only insolence among the inferior. Americans are Inhospitable. Americans eat greedily, drink to excess and die of dyspepsia. An American abroad is ashamed of his country; he likes nothing better than to be mistaken for an Englishman. The best Americans live in Europe. They have produced no literature, art, music, architecture, poetry or drama. American wit and humor are. at test, only a trick of incongruous imagination.

The following are extracts from "In Defense of America," written by Bar* on Oustav von Taube, a Pole, who now Uvea In Paris, but who spent many years in the United States and has traveled extensively: THE ANSWER. What does the dollar represent bnt the embodiment of a man's work, together with the possibility of farther productive activity beneficial to all? Nobody can affirm that a Stanford, Carnegie, Pullman, Girard or any other of the hundreds of cash-storing human quantities did not dream of their universities, libraries, special schools, worklngmen's model Institutions, inflrmaries, colleges, etc., from the very commencement of their efforts to amass fortunes. v An almost national peculiarity of the American is his ability to derive a greater pleasure and interest from his work than from almost anything else. To aU appearance he ls more aglow with interest about the venture Itself and Its success than about the money it brings. With old Ben Franklin's lightning rods all over the world; ln a country where Faraday has so beautifully worked out Count Rumford's early notions about the transmutabiUty of energy; a country that has made the best use of Fulton's first steamboat; made the best use of Captain Maury's studies and investigations of the Gulf stream; has used for years Morse's code of telegraphy; a country ln which Edison's phonograph and cinematograph are popular and daily contribute to the enjoyment of old and young; where every car ls stopped with a Westinghouse brake and most of the houses are supplied with telephones; where cotton spinners are daily reaping the advantages of Whitney's discovery; of his gin In handling cotton; where old Remington's typing machine ls still holding its own against all comers; where Roeb- Hng's type of suspension brldgt is gradually superseding the old tube system; where a man cannot get any distance without meeting with the Buckeye harvesters, reapers and binders, with hay tedders and horse rakes, or steam drills—in the face of all that, such a sweeping assertion aB that of Charge II. can be explained only as being due to ignorance. As to the durability of American machinery, it is found to be the direct result of the processes used, and the very American plan of work ls the very opposite of the continental and English. In the states they generally calculate a railway locomotive good for fifteen years; for quick traffic, for only twelve years; and they design and construct it accordingly. This they do estimating that during that period improvement will have sufficiently advanced to make the use of the old type a dead loss. Cn what baBis an activity of yearly xy milliards is of a sudden found to be unbusinesslike and possessing merely business forms ye gods might know! I certainly do not. 'Most of the larger business ventures being organized as stock companies and corporations, competition of the sharpest kind being the habitual order of things, and all other factors ln what could be bought for money being equal between the competitors, that company gets the best of it which has the best and most talented men at its head. As an abstract, obscure dealer in abstract mental products I understand and see how some American men may have got into discredit, but I would call the attention of J. B., who proverbially stands for the fair and square, that those Americans are far from being typical of the country or its spirit They are rather types of the original places they hall from. No perfect scholar or man of really good and delicate taste can ever bo made by education only; it is rather to Dame Nature than to the educational institutions that such characteristics owe tfreir inception. Any United States lad from the public school shows more gumption and capacity of doing something than most of the foreign full-grown element on i landing. The fellow educated in the United States has more public spirit in him and a greater capacity for public affairs than is the case anywhere else. The higher article has better chances ln the Union, after all, as it is not squashed so much as elsewhere by the deadening effect of our modern new shape of slavery—that of the, socially received formulae of model figures! The fearful corruption connected with this political activity is unavoidable ln any human center serving as the dumping ground of all varieties Of human elements, to whom political rights are granted even before the tlements themselves have bean assimilated. Bribery in politics is a passably rare occurrence outside of the city centers* where a large unassimilated foreign element is generally to be met with. Outside of the International read!* nesB to accept a cigar properly offered, I must emphatically state that ever since civil-service reform was introduced under Cleveland no government official of the United States is to be bribed. John Bigelow, Andrew 'White and Mr. Cboate are types of American statesmen. Certainly all three were thoroughly cultivate^ men. In Germany I met with the same uncultured election procedure as in the United States—gross personal blackmail, produced i n the same way. only with less good nature and apparently in full earnest. In Russia I heard the wildest abuse of some of the best and cleanest men^itrtbe country. I found something like it in Merrie Old England, so that finally I came to the conclusion that this not overrented feature i n politics is far from being an American peculiarity. The American father will say "his boy has to touch bottom when young," and touching bottom ln the United States means an early mutual understanding with the healthy element oi earnest workers from below and not intercourse with the few varnished figures above. The average run of children i i healthy and anything you please but hysterical and nervous; they would compare very well Indeed with th« average run of English hopefuls. Let it suffice to recollect the Important services rendered to the cultured interests of the world by America as the permanent sociological laboratory where most of the present isms and even some embryos of future vagaries have never ceased to be experimented upon. The American is Just the man who appreciates personality in the fullest sense of the word. As to the trademark of the common Insolence among the Inferior, it is an international characteristic, only perhaps more noticeable in America. National brag ls a trait possessed In common with the English cousin, and It would almost appear to be bad ethics, on ths part of the pot to accuse the kettle at the same hearth of being black. Tou certainly encounter the broadest, most generous and most enjoyable hospitality when invited by some gentleman to his country seat, though of course invitations do not occur without your passing previously a strict examination. Excepting young clerks, office boys and other young hopefuls, who accomplish marvels in swallowing all kinds oi cakes and tarts at luncheon time, you will hardly find anything really resembling eating among the serious men of business at that time of the day. A generous breakfast ls the customary rule before leaving home, then very little, if anything, for lunch, and a full spread for dinner at home in the evening. Any drinking, and It is very little prevalent except at dinner and after dinner, is Indulged in only outside of office and working hours. Of the American humor there is no need to speak. Old "Sam Slick, the Clock Maker," Methody preacher and Shakespeare reciter, Artemus Ward and Mark Twain are too precious a possession of the English-loving feeling and speaking people all over the world to need a defense. As to the English language used in America, ~the popular medium is far ahead of its counterpart In England. Leaving the cockney'and Londoners' Whitechapel as duly countered by the Bowery of New York, we face the undeniable fact that any . Englishman traveling the 3,000 miles from New York to San Francisco and the California coast will be at fewer pains to understand and be understood than an American journeying some couple of hundred miles or even less in England, with its localisms changing with almost every county of the realm. it mm STORY OF DECATUR Interesting Account Is Related of Hot Time at That Important Strong.

With a friend, who went off on another tack he had been following up the tracks of elephants all day without success, and just before sundown received word from his comrade that he was going back. Dr. Dunbar-Brunton decided to return also, but before starting on the homeward track sat down and lighted a pipe. He was smoking quietly when he heard the noise of his friend's beaters, and a native who carried his gun said, "Look!" A great bull elephant was close upon them. Very quietly the doctor laid down his pipe and took his gun, while the natives scuttled up the trees in terror. The doctor took a quick shot, but Just missed the animal's brain pan. It threw up its trunk, opened its mouth, «put its tusks forward and charged. A second shot struck in the shoulder, but did not check its onrush. The doctor shot again when It was within a few paces, and hurtling past him it fell with legs outstretched, with a bullet ln its heart The doctor turned to his pipe. It was still alight, and he finished his smoke while the natives danced round tne body of the elephane.—Chicago News. Found Old Hiding Place. Whilst workmen were repairing an ancient fireplace and chimney at Fferm Farm, near Mold, Flintshire, England, the other day, which1 was built ln the early part of the sixth century, they discovered by chance in the chimney a revolving stone, which, upon being removed, revealed a secret chamber. The apartment contained oak furniture ot antique design, including a table, upon which lay antique firearms and feeding utensils, and also the remains, reduced to dust, of a repast. It is surmised that the place was utilized as a place of concealment by Royalist fugitives during the civil war ef the reign of Charles I., from which period it had remained undisturbed and, until the present tint, undiscovered. In the National Tribune of May 21 Sergeant Ashley V . Newton, Co. 3d Mich., in "Colored Troops at Deca-j tur," says that at Nashville his regiment got a rush order to proceed to- Decatur to reinforce General Milroy, j who was being closely pressed by For-! rest. General Milroy was not at) Decatur; neither was Forrest, writes-: Will A. McTeer, adjutant, 3d Tenn.1 Cav.f and asting asistant adjutant general, First Brigade, Fourth Divl-j sion, Cavalry Corps, Maryville, Tenn.J In the National Tribune. Gen. Robert S. Granger was ln command of the> military district of north Alabama,; with headquarters at Decatur and Huntsville. Col. C. C. Doolittle, of the; 18th Mich., was in command of the* post at Decatur. ' Comrade Newton says: "We found the bridge burned, but General Mil-! roy had provided for our coming by, erecting a pontoon bridge." j "Our Cavalry Brigade reported toi General Granger for duty, arriving at) Decatur July 10, 1864, and the bridge! was destroyed before that time, and the pontoon was erected then, and appeared as If It had been there for months before. It appears that it was placed there by General Sherman when on his way from Memphis toj Chattanooga." I Further, Comrade Newton says:! "The Confederates seeing us, empha* sized their objection by rushing a six-; •piece battery down to the bank of the; river within easy range of the bridge, and they would have mixed things up very seriously for the 3d Mich, but for t>.e timely intervention of two companies of colored troops that were sent by General Milroy to distract their attention in another direction." I was acting assistant adjutant general of the Cavalry Brigade and on the line of battle. Hood (not Forrest) attacked us, October 26,1864. In General Granger's report to General Thomas he fixes his whole force at Decatur at 1,750, and with the 29th Mich, added, which had just arrived, and 850 absent on patrol duty, there were only 2,000 men to defend Decatur. Every available man was placed out on the line, and then we could not reach around more than half way in front of our works. The only reason that the first day's fighting was not one of the greatest battles of the war was because there were not men enough to make it so. There were no colored troops there that day, but In the night we were reinforced by the 14th U . S. Colored Inf., commanded by Col. (afterwards General) J. T. Morgan. The 3d and 29th Mich, reinforced us while engaged in the hottest part on the first afternoon. - I remember distinctly their coming, and as they went out on the line the appearance of the bright, new uniforms was ln decided contrast to our own worn and dingy clothing. The Confederates were using a battery at a lively rate with deadly effect, but it was nearly a mile from the river and not in range of the bridge at all. On the 27th the enemy threw up some pits on the bank of the river, about a mile above Decatur and hearly a half mile from where the battery was first used by them on the first day. On the morning of the 28th a detachment from the 18th Mich, and 102d Ohio (according to my journal 47 men) made their way down the river, succeeded in flanking the Confederate rifle pits, made a gallant; charge from their rear, in which a number of men were killed and wounded, and brought in 120 prisoners. I stood on the upper porch of the Decatur hotel when Colonel Morgan came in front with the 14th regiment, of colored troops (not two companies), and they piled their knapsacks, leaving one man to the, company as guards. I noticed Colonel Morgan holding in his hand a small hatchet, and also that a number of the officers had hatchets. They started out in the open field, marching in excellent order to within rifle range of the Confederates, when they fired a volley, then raised a yell and charged. The affair did not last much mora than 20 minutes, bnt the work wa Woody. They drove the Confederal from their* support with the bayon The guns were spiked, and the colored boys had to fall down along the water's edge under the bank of the river, while the enemy ran along above them and shot down on them. In his report 6f this charge; general Granger says: "We lost 40 kilted and wounded," and up to that time oar. loss amounted to 80. In the forenoon of October 29 ,the enemy began to. withdraw, and I was at the place where, this battery had stood, and it was a : place, of blood without a doubt Prior to this charger Capt. Albert F. Beach, Battery A, 1st Tenn., had taken two sections of hia guns up on the north side of the river, opposite the Confederate battery, and they fought an artillery dual across the river, and Beach succeeded ln blowing up two of their caissons, which killed quite a number of tbem, and this was evident on th* srotind. ; • The Corrector of Destinies Being Tales of Randolph Mason as Related by His Private Secretary, Courtiand Parks Thepistrict Attorney By Melville Davis son Post Copyright by Edward J . Clode One of the most disastrous hank failures In tbe history of the middle wesi was that of the Patton National Bank of S t Louis. It took down with it almost every one of its correspondents —the Exeter Trust company especially, and Blac'kwell's bank, one of the oldest in the Mississippi valley. Its New York correspondent, the Amsterhof National, sent west a half-million dollars in gold that never returned to its money vaults. The bank was closed by the national bank examiner on a Saturday afternoon, a few minutes before three o'clock. I was in the Stock Exchange on Wall street the next Monday, following the fluctuations of some St. Louis securities which the Patton National had been instrumental in placing In New York. It was an ugly morning Cor anything west of the Ohio. I came out of the Stock Exchange at two o'clock disgusted with securities. The Astors were the longest-headed financiers after all. The earth alone was secure. As I went down the steps into the street, an old man came out from one of the exits of the gallery to the exchange and spoke to me. "Is this Mr. Courtlandt Parks?" he said. I re» plied that it was, and hurried on up the crowded street. I was not in a very pleasant mood, and he was evidently a provincial out to see the horned and hoofed beasts of which he had read in his weekly newspapers. He followed me, however, and when I reached the crossing on Broadway he was at my elbow. I spoke to him then, a bit impatiently. "May I inquire," I said, "who it is that honors me with so close an attem nee?" The old man hesitated a little. "I am Jeremiah Patton," he replied, "the president of the Patton National Bank of St. Louis. I want to see Randolph tyfason." I turned -squarely upon him, with no effort to conceal my amazement. He was a tall old man with closecropped gray hair, mild brown eyes and a kindly mouth. His face was wan and colorless, and one of his legs dragged a little when he walked. I could not stop there on that crowded corner to converse, even with a Magus, although I should not have been more disturbed had I met one of these fabled wise men. I took him with me to Randolph Masonja house. I wished to hear his story, to learn the details of the failure. The newspapers were not a little puzzled over it; the bank had seemed prosperous, without a shadow upotfit, up to the day it was closed by order of the comptroller of the currency. BankB do not commonly drop, some fine morning, suddenly into ruin; whisperings go, usually, before destruction. I was a bit doubtfud of the identity of the tall old man until I saw him bare-headed, without his great coat, in a chair by the fire. Then I instantly recognized him from the newspaper cuts, which represented him seated by a table; but he was more impressive, stronger in this pose. His forebead was broad, his head big and wellcovered with thick gray hafr; but the face, as I have said, was gaunt, the eyepits and cheek-bones showing the first ravages of disaster. His story, told to Randolph Mason ln a voice that broke now and then and was pieced out with desolate gesopinion, beyond human agencies to correct The matter had proceeded too far. Events, arising in orderly, in Infernal sequence, had entirely overwhelmed him. Jeremiah Patton was seventy-five years bid. He had made a fortune as a wholesale merchant, and had retired from active business late in life, with a reputation established throughout the west for fair dealing and highest Integrity. He had no family, his wife having been dead for twenty years, tt had appeared to him that by establishing a bank, he could usefully em* ploy his wealth, so he had erected a piodern office building on a good corner, and founded the Patton Savings bank, of which he was president and almost the exclusive owner. His object was to encourage a spirit of thrift among the middle class of the city, Ind bis method was to allow his depositors every cent that their deposits earned, less the fixed charges of the bank. His own capital yielded a sufficient Income for his needs. * * , A' The bank quickly sprang Into prpny , tnenceV Its deposits were enormous. ' Its president found himself under ft heavy burden of care and responsibility In the Investment of these large sums so they would yield a substantial 'profit \J . ' ; About this time, Belmont Lane, the American president of tbe Russian b i l company, came to St. Louis tG acquire, if fiossible, the producing territory of Missouri, and to establish 'banking relations. Lane was a man of courtly address, imposing presence, and charming personality. He very soon was on intimate terms with -Jeremiah Patton, and he suggested a consolidation of several smaller banks With tbat of Patton, and the founding <of a national hank. This jplan was earried out, and the Patton National Bank of St Louis was the result, Patton advancing sufficient money to acquire the major .portion of the stock,x while Lane carried, through various employes of his company, a nominal interest He, therefore, did not appear on the books as an owner of any stock, and his name was in no way connoted with the institution. He explained that because of tbe wide financial relations of the oil .company it would be unwise to connect his name with any one bank, since, should the company want to borrow money, he would be asfced why he did not get it at his own bank. Jeremiah Patton remained as the president of this new institution and its nominal head, although its active affairs and virtual control passed into the hands of a board of directors selected from the associates of Belmont Lane. The old man halted a little in the march of his narrative, searching if he could bring into more vivid outline the figure of Belmont Lane. This man's real character was still a mystery to him. The d u e t t o his charming, persuasive, dominant personality eluded him when he tried to embody it in words. It always so eluded him, he said, when Lane was not before him. In the man's absence, his influence was naught; before one's face, it was irresistible. When. Belmont Lane urged a plan, It seemed at once practicable, alluring, filled with promise. He made men gaze with him from his own window, and out of it all things looked good, So, when Belmont Lane suggested a sub-company with an enormous paper capital to acquire leases in Missouri for the Russian company, he readily induced Jeremiah Patton to assume its presidency and to hold in his name almost the entire stock. Again, Lane was not of this company; a few of his employes stood in the charter with Patton, and made a board of directors which revolved around Belmont Lane's finger, as the bank did. One fine morning, while Mr. Patton was in Chicago, the sub-company borrowed two millions of dollars from the Patton National bank on its note, with its stock as collateral. Ten days later, the National Bank Examiner condemned this loan and declared the collateral worthless. A further examination of the bank's accounts showed extensive overdrafts of the sub-company hidden under dummy notes. The bank was insolvent, and the examiner closed it at the direction of the Federal authorities at Washington. The Assets of this sub-company proved utterly worthless. Belmont Lane could not be * found. He was thought to have returned to Russia. Jeremiah Patton was utterly ruined. But this was not the worst feature of the situation; the incensed public demanded that some one be punished for so great a swindle. They instantly erected a guillotine, and found no head to place under it but that of Jeremiah Patton. At this point in his story the old man arose, took several financial sheets from his pocket and spread them out on the table. Their headlines clamored for Jeremiah Patton's arrest "You see," he continued, "I was president of the company which wrecked the bank, and its greatest stockholder. My coming to New York will be considered as a flight from justice. I can hardly hope to reach St. tures, presented, a situation, in my Louis unaccompanied by a United States marshal. I am certain to be indicted by the next Federal grand Jury, and certain to be convicted." Randolph Mason was standing by the fire, his shoulder leaning against the mantel, his arm extended along i t He began to examine the old man with sharp, searching queries—not as to the details of the story he had just related, but with respect to the personnel of the Federal court i n this city. The old man replied that both the reputed to have great Influence with the new judge. H i s advice was usually followed with respect to the conduct of trials. The common impression waa that the judge, not yet familiar with the Federal procedure, assumed the advice of the district attorney to be correct The district attorney was successfully posing as an able lawyer, while, l n fact, he was an obscure practitioner of Indifferent learning. ..This was the gist of all that JereiniahPatton had heard about this court Randolph Mason took his arm from the mantelshelf -and turned to the banker. "You will at once return to S t Louis," he said. "Employ the best counsel you are able to obtain. When you are indicted, insist upon an immediate trial; oppose every delay, no matter how favorable it may seem to you. Object to it, and put your objection on the record. When you are acquitted—" The old man interrupted Mason with an appealing protest. "But I won't be acquitted, Mr. Mason," he said. "Stetheimer will arrange his jury for that, If lt is necessary. But he won't have to arrange it. The people are mad for a sacrifice. A jury could not be got that would acquit a bank president under such circumstances. Belmont Lane has brought me up to the door of the penitentiary. The United States court will put me inside and turn the key in the lock." Randolph Mason paid not the slightest attention to the man's words. He merely repeated the last sentence of his statement. "When you are acquitted," he said, "you will come at once to me, and I will adjust the remaining features of this problem.*! Jeremiah Fatton returned to St. Louis on that very evening, and I followed the order of subsequent events in the newspapers of that city. The Federal court was at that time opening its session. A n indictment was found. Patton's attorneys demurred to this indictment. This demurrer was overruled. They then demanded an immediate trial, and the court ordered the case to a jury. Two weeks Joy and Increased importance, put tbe five thousand dollars ln his pocket, and Jacob Solmeyer returned to his office in New York. The trial of Jeremiah Patton continued. A l l the affairs of the bank were gone into. Masses of documentary evidence were introduced. The district attorney was determined to make his reputation on this case. He huraed witb dramatic nose: every piece Of red fire that lie could lay his hands on. The courtroom swarmed with reporters. The evidence was printed in detail ln a l l the great dailies. Patton was looked upon as an intolerable scoundrel who had wrecked the bank of which he was president, and looted his depositors by borrowing on worthless securities great sums for a company which he owned- On a Saturday afternoon, the district attorney closed for the government and rested his-^case. *0n the following Sunday Jacob Solmeyer telegraphed the district attorney that there would be a meeting of the bankers on Tuesday evening, and to come at once to fcew York. Stetheimer called Solmeyer by long-di$tance telephone, explained his situation in regard to the Patton trial, and asked if the meeting could not be postponed. Solmeyer answered that a postponement was impossible, that some members of the syndicate were the heads of great banking houses in Europe and could not await any man's convenience; that the district attorney must attend the meeting, or return the retainer paid to him and abandon the scheme. Uncertain what course to follow, the district attorney took counsel with his wife. She advised him to get rich while he could, while the winged hand of 'opportunity was reached out to him. Money was the only actual power that could be stored away against the time of need. Everything else was like fairy gold—yellow oa*. leaves on the morning after., Still, Stetheimer feared to abandon the case to subordinates and go out of St. Louis. He would be open to the charge of having been purchased by the defendant; Ijje oteT-aflorne^ was an^ were consumed in the examination of talesmen; new panels were obtained and almost wholly rejected. It seemed that every man in the city had conceived an opinion against the prisoner. Finally a curious medley of jurors was secured, and the government began the introduction of its testimony. Up to this time, Mason had done nothing. Now he sent for Jacob Solmeyer, a lawyer of considerable prominence, and explained to him what be was to do. I know in detail how Solmeyer carried out his instructions: He went at once to St. Louis and called on the district attorney. Ht» explained that certain large operator* of Chicago and Kansas City were la coring to effect a consolidation of all the big firms i n a certain line in the west into one gigantic company with a judge and the district attorney were i hundred million dollar capitalization, products of a recent political upheaval] under the laws of New Jersey; that in his state. The former United ] the matter was still in an early, for- States judge, a man in but middle life, < mative state. The bankers who were had died suddenly the previous September. The present judge, more a politician than lawyer, had yielded an election to the senate in order io obtain this life appointment to the bench. He was generally regarded as an honorable man, but one not great* ly learned ln the law. The district; attorney was a man named Stetheimer, elevated to his position as a reward for conspicuous party service ln the last national election.' He had organized a certain large element of the city, and held to furnish the large sums necessary to purchase such plants as would not voluntarily come into the trust, feared that some unfriendly district attorney might attempt to bring the matter into court, and thereby affect the bonds of this syndicate, which they would hold as their security. If, however, the principal office of this great projected company could be placed in some large city of the west, where the district attorney of the United States was a person of conservative ideas, they would furnish the money; otherit until a bargain was struck for this *i*e they would not Solmeyer repposition. The man was ambitious and hungry to he trich. The" position of United States district attorney carried with it ft general practice of the best value in tbe Federal courts. This practice Stetheimer was anxious to secure. Jeremiah Patton had heard this criticism of him. Some editors of opposite politics had even accused him of seeking the civil business of large interests under a veiled suggestion of protection against thle rigor of certain acts of congress. Mr. Patton thought these corporations were principally those that were said to be constant violators of the Interstate commerce laws. SftttV the district attorney *r*» resented these bankers, and this was the problem they lied presented to him for solution. He had gone carefully over the entire field, and finally settled upon the district attorney of St Louis aa filling every requirement of his clients. If he coulcf act Solmeyer would ^pay him five thousand dollars as a retainer; then, when the bankers held their meeting in New besides that, the assistant district attorney would step up into his place before the public eye. He must find some other way. In his extremity, he determined to apply to the judge for a postponement of the. trial until the next term of court This would give him an opportunity to meet the bankers in New York, and still conduct the case. He went at once to the judge and explained that he had just discovered a possl ble connection of several other prominent persons with the wrecking of the Patton National bank, and that before he cross-examined Jeremiah Patton, he wished thoroughly to investigate this evidence and fortify himself with all the details. This would take considerable time. Stetheimer strengthened his suggestion with excellent arguments—it was a matter of the greatest public lmpor. tance; thousands of helpless depositors relied wholly on the courts to insure the fidelity of their bankers; swift complete, ruthless punishment of every person involved, high or low, was their only safeguard. He wished to ferret out every one of the criminals concerned, to run them down, brand them as thieves, and hand them over to the warden of tbe penitentiary, and the Judge must give him ample time in which to do tbis. In fact, it was ft duty owed to the whole pec* pie of Missouri. The judge decided finally that if these were the facts, he would direct a continuance upon the motion of the district attorney. 8tetheimer went then to the attorneys for Jeremiah Patton. He said to them that his wife was ill, threatened with appendicitis, it was thought; that he wished to take ber at once to Philadelphia; tbat be would probably be required to remain there during the operation and tbe convalescence of the patient, and requested them to consent to ft postponement of the case until York, he could come before them and rthe following term.

This motion was not strenuously resisted by the counsel for Jeremiah Patton. They offered a formal objection for the prisoner, which was overruled, and the exception was entered on the record. The Judge discharged the jury, ordered a new panel and took up the trial of some petty revenue cases, the assistant district attorney appearing for the government. Stetheimer explained the meaning of this continuance to the public by covertly suggesting the story told to the judge. The public was appeased with the promise of more and prominent victims, and the district attorney stood justified in the conduct of his case. Moreover, his reputation for shrewdness was established, and his figure as a far-sighted, incorruptible public servant on the trail of higher thieves lengthened, widened, loomed larger. He left immediately for New York accompanied by his wife, who was taken to the station in an ambulance. Jacob Solmeyer arranged a meeting of some of the more prosperous looking of his clients and took the district attorney before them. They discussed the problems of the great combine, questioned the lawyer at length upon the status of their rights under the interstate Commerce Act, the possibility of a Federal investigation, the effect of such a move on the bonds of the trust as a security, and the scope of the act in its criminal features. The district attorney slurred over the difficulties in the Federal statue, pointing out that the section providing individual punishment for violation of the act was already a dead letter, that the act itself was largely a bugaboo to appease the farmer. He urged the combine and promised immunity in Missouri. Solmeyer's "bankers" adjourned without finally determining upon the loan to the contemplated combine. However, they agreed to employ the district attorney, in case the loan was made, and to pay him twenty-five thousand dollars a year. Solmeyer gave the man an additional one thousand dollars, and he returned to St. Louis. On Thursday morning Jacob Solmeyer reported to Randolph Mason, and told of the transaction in detail. He was puzzled to the finger tips and curious to know Mason's object. But he was a man of discretion, aware of the value of silence and the folly of any query put to Randolph Mason. His theory was that Mason wished to make a case against the district attorney looking to his removal, and in test of this theory he ventured to present his report carefully in writing, attaching to it a sworn stenographic report of the district attorney's speech to the "bankers," including his offer of protection against the Interstate Commerce Act. Randolph Mason tossed the papers into the grate when Solmeyer had finished, concluded the conference, and dismissed him. In the hall the old German blinked behind his thick glasses. "Mein Qott! Mr. Parks," he said; "vat does Randolph Mason mean? He pay six thousand dollars to get der district attorney on record, den he burns der record." "Solmeyer," I replied, "I do not know who was the man in the iron mask. I do not know what melody it was the sirens sang, neither do I know what Randolph Mason means." And yet I was not in the least puz- , zled. I thought 1 saw clearly into the solution of it all. Mason's ruse had failed—that was the reading of the riddle. He had planned to lure the district attorney out of S t Louis and thereby cripple the prosecution; but the shrewdness of the man had forestalled him. Mason had warned Patton to oppose a continuance; he evidently counted upon his counsel to resist with such vigor that the court would go on with the trial; be bad not dreamed of a mere objection on the record. The plan had gone to pieces. I bad just pieced out and rounded up my theory as the correct solution of this otherwise inexplicable sideplay, when Randolph Mason came out of his room, walked past me in the hall and started up the stairway. He stopped on the third step-and looked down at me. "Parks," ne said, "go out to St. Louis at the next term of the court, and move lt to discharge Jeremiah Patton. On your table is a citation to the only case you will require." Then he went on up the stairway, bis hdnd sliding along the mahogany rail. Thus my theory, like that of Jacob Solmeyer, wae snuffed out My train to St. Louis was eight hours late because of floods in the Ohio valley. The case of Jeremiah Patton had been called for retrial when I finally reached the United States courtroom. The building was packed with spectators. Tbe district attorney was Inside the rail with a bright new rosebud pinned to the lapel of his coat The prisoner looked tired oet and very old, a wretched, pitiable figure, seated by the table with his attorney*; the clerk was calling a jury.

Within two days they had made arrangements for his care at a sanitarium near Flint, where he is now being treated. The thermometer registered 94 in the shade- in Charlotte Monday.

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

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

He flitted up the street, and tbe judge puffed and panted In his wake.

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

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

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

R. & I. train at Huston avenue while in a rig collecting food for a church supper, three women were carried 500 feet on the pilot of the engine, one being killed instantly, while the other two died shortly after being taken to Hackley hospital. Mrs. Gertrude Riegler, thirty-one years old, who was seated in the buggy close to the engine, was instantly killed, while Mrs. Agnes Witt and Mrs. Adolph Turick were both unconscious when lifted from the engine pilot. The train was traveling about forty miles an hour and the women were literally plastered on the front of the engine. It is stated that the flagman at the crossing waved to them to stop, but the woman driving did not see him and thought she had time to get across. The horse was uninjured. Battle Creek.—Believing that the influence of song and gospel would uplift the minds of seven prisoners at the city jail, the Rescue mission members held services in the long corridor of tho police station. Seven piisoners, confined for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, listened to the talk given by the minister and heard the sacred music without batting a single eyelash, most of them lying in their bunks during the service, casting shy winks at one another. This is the first instance of a gospel meeting being held in the local station.

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

O* Groat Northern Ry* £t« Patol, Minn, Exposiiiom SanPr§miU0t lojg > SYNOPSIS. Enid Maitland, a frank, free and un- •polled young Phailadelphia girl, Is taken to the Colorado mountains by her uncle. Robert Maitland. James Armstrong, Maitland's protege, falls in love with her. His persistent wooing thrills the girl, but •he nesitates,- and Armstrong gQes east on business without a definite answer. Enid hears the story of a mining engineer, Newbold', whose wife fell off a cliff and was so eerlously hurt that he was compelled to shoot her to prevent her being eaten by wolves while he went for help. Kirkby, the old guide who tells the •tory, gives Enid a package of letters Which he says were found on the deaa woman's body. She reads the letters and St Klrkby'a request keep* them, while athlng In mountain stream Enid is attacked by a bear, which is mysteriously •hot. A storm adds to the girl's terror. A. sudden deluge transforms brook into raging torrent, which sweeps Enid Into £orge, where she is rescued by a mountain hermit after a thrilling experience. Campers in great confusion upon discovfng Enid's absence when the storm creaks. Maitland and Old Kirkby go in •earch of the girl. Enid discovers that her ankle Is sprained and that she Is unable to walk. Her mysterious rescuer carries her to his camp. Enid goes to eteep in the strange man's bunk. Miner cooks breakfast for Enid, after which they go on tour of inspection. The hermit tells Enid of his unsuccessful attempt to find the Maitland campers. He admits that he is also from Philadelphia, The hermit falls in love with Enid. The man comes to a xeattzation of his love for her, out naturally in that strange solitude tho relations of the girl and her rescuer become unnatural and strained. The stranger tells of a wife he had who is dead, and says he has sworn to ever cherish her memory by living in solitude. He and Enid, however, confess their love for »ach other. She learns that he is the man who killed his wife in the mountain. Enid discovers the writer of the letters [to Newbold's wife to have been James Armstrong. Newbold decides to start to the settlement for help. The man - is packed by the belief- that he is unfaithful to his wife's memory, and Enid Is tempted to tell him of the letters in her pos- Session. Armstrong, accompanied by :irkby and Robert Maitland, find a note that,Newbold had left in the deserted cabin, and know that the girl is in his Keeping. Fate brings all the actors together. C H A P T E R X X . r 1 The Converging Trails. • Whatever the feeling of the others, 'Armstrong found himself unable to Bleep that night. It seemed to him that fate was about to play him the meanest and most fantastic of tricks. Many times before in his crowded life he had loved other women, or so he characterized his feelings, but his passion for Louise Rosser Newbold had been in a class by itself until he had met Enid Maitland. Between the two there had been many women, but these two were the high points, the rest was lowland. Once before, therefore, this Newbold had cut in ahead of him and had won the woman he loved. Armstrong had cherished a hard grudge against him (for a long time. He had not been of ithose who had formed the rescue party led by old Kirkby and Maitland which had.buried the poor woman on the great Butte in the deep canon. Before he got back to the camp the whole affair was over and Newbold had departed. Luckily for him, Armstrong had always thought, for he had been so mad with grief and rage and Jealousy that if he had come across him, helpless or not, he would have killed him out of hand. Armstrong had soon enough forgotten Louise Rosser,' but he had not forgotten Newbold. A l l his ancient animosity had flamed into instant life again, at the sight of his name last night, The inveteracy of his hatred had been in no way abated by the lapse of time, it seemed. Everybody in the mining camp had ' supposed that Newbold had wandered - off and perished in, the mountains, else Armstrong might have pursued him and hunted him down. The sight of his name on that piece of paper was outward and visible evidence that he still lived. It had almost ihe shock of a resurrection, and a resurrection to hatred rather than to love, if Newbold had been alone in the world, If Armstrong had chanced upon him in the solitude, he would have hated him Just as he did, but when he thought that hifr aaoient enemy was with the woman he now loved, with a growing A Intensity beside which his former re* lentment seemed weak and feeble ho ' hated him yet the more. * He could not tell when the notice, which he had examined carefully, was » written; there was no date upon it, hut he could come to only one cqnclu- •Ion. Newbold must have found .Enid •Maitland alone in the mountains very Shortly after her departure, and he had her with him in his. cabin alone for at least a month. Armstrong fritted his teeth at the thought. He did not undervalue the personality Newbold. He had never happened no see him, but he had^ heard enough .about him to understand his qualifies as a man. The tie that bound 'Armstrong to Enid Matt land was a strong one, but the tie by which he beta* her to him, if indeed he held her* at all, was very tenuous and easily broken; perhaps it wag broken already, and so he hated him still more and more.. » i Indeed, his animosity was so great • n i growing that for tho moment he toba no Joy in the assurance of tbe girjis safety; yet he was,not altogether im'Vinfi|{rnias, and* in cafmer moments fr* thavked^God In his otrh rough that the woman he loved was alive and \ well, or had been when the note was written. He rejoiced that she had not been swept away with the flood or that she had not been lost in the mountains and forced to wander on finally to starve and freeze and die. In one moment her nearness caused, his heart to throb with joyful anticipation. The certainty that at the first flush of day he should seek her again sent the warm blood to his cheeks. But those thoughts would be succeeded by the knowledge that she was with his enemy. Was this man to rob him of the latest love as he had robbed him of the first? Perhaps the hardest task that was ever laid upon Armstrong was to lie quietly in his sleeping bag and wait until the morning. So soon as the first indication of dawn showed over the crack of the door, he slipped quietly out of his sleeping bag and without disturbing the others drew on hi3 boots, put on his heavy furcdat and cap and gloves, slung his Winchester and h?s snow shoes over his shoulder, and without stopping for a bite to eat, softly opened the door, stepped out and closed lt after him. It was quite dark in the bottom of the canon, although a few pale gleams overhead indicated the near approach of day. It was quite still, too. There were clouds on the mountain top heavy with threat of wind and snow. The way was not difficult, the direction of it, that is. Nor was the going very difficult at first; the snow was frozen and the crust was strong enough to bear him. He did not need his snow shoes, and, indeed, would have had little chance to use them in the narrow, broken, rocky pass. He had slipped away from the others'because he wanted to be first to see the man and the woman. He did not want any witnesses to that meeting. They would have come on later, of course; but he wanted an hour or two In private with Enid and Newbold without any interruption. His conscience was not clear. Nor could he settle upon a course of action. How much Newbold knew of his former attempt to win away his wife, how much of what he knew he had told Enid Maitland, Armstrong could not surmise. Putting himself into Newbold's place and imagining that the engineer had possessed entire information, he1 decided that he must have told everything to EnAd_,Maitland as soon as he had found out the quasi relation between her and Armstrong. And Armstrong did not believe the woman he loved could be in anybody's presence a month without telling something about him. Still, it was possible that Newbold knew nothing, and that he told nothing therefore. The situation was paralyzing to a man of Armstrong's decided, determined temperament. He could not decide upon the line of conduct he should pursue. His course in this, the most critical emergency he had ever faced, must be determined by circumstances of which he felt with savage resentment he was in some measure the sport. He would have to leavo to chance what ought to be subject to his will. Of only one thing he was sure— he would stop at nothing, murder, lying; nothing, to win the woman^and to settle his score with that man. There was really only one thing he could do, and that was to press on up the canon. He had no idea how far it might be or how long a journey he would have to make before he reached that shelf on the high hill where stood that hut in which she dwelt. As the crow flies, it could not be a great distance, but the canon zigzagged through the mountains with as many curves and angles as a lightning flash. He plodded on, therefore, with furious haste, recklessly, speedi n g over places where a misstep in the snow or a slip on the icy rocks would have meant death or disaster to him. He had gone about an hour, and had perhaps made four miles from the camp when the storm burst upon him. It was now broad day, but the sky was filled with clouds and the air with driving snow. The wind whistled down the canon with terrific force. It was with difficulty that he made any headway at all against tt. It was a local storm; if he could have looked through the snow he would have discovered calmon tbe top of the peak3. It was one of those sudden squalls of wind and snow which rage with terrific force while they last, but whose rage was limited, and whose violent dura* tion would be short. A less determined man than he would have bowed to the inevitable and sought, some shelter behind a rock until, the fury, of the tempest was spent, but there was no storm that blew that could stop this man ?o long as he bad strength to drive against it. So he bent bis head to tbe fierce blast and struggled on. There .'was something titanic and magnificent about tula Iron determination, andt p*p sfatance of Armstrong. The twd most powerful passions which inove humanity were at his service; love led him and hate drove him. And the two were *o intermingled that it was difficult to say which predominated, now one and now the other. The resultant of the two forces, however, was an onward move that would not be denied. His fur coat was soon covered with snow and ice, the sharp needles of the storm cut his face wherever it was exposed. The wind forced its way through his garments and chilled him to the bone. He had eaten nothing since the night before, anfl his vitality was not at its flood, but he pressed on, and there was something grand in his indomitable progress. Excelsior! Back in the hut Kirkby and Maitland sat around the fire waiting most impatiently for the wind to blow itself out and for that snow to stop falling through which Armstrong struggled forward. As he followed the windings of the e&non, not daring to ascend to the summit on either wall and seek short cuts across the range, he was sensible that he was constantly rising. There were many indications to his experienced mind; the decrease in the height cf the surrounding pines, the increasing rarity of the icy air, the growing difficulty in breathing under the sustained exertion he w_as making, the quick throbbing of his accelerated heart, all told him he was approaching his journey's end, He judged that he must now be drawing near the source of the stream, and that he would presently come upon the shelter. He had no means of ascertaining the time. He would not have dared to unbutton his coat to glance at his watch, and it is difficult to measure the flying minutes In such scenes as those through which he passed, but he thought he must have gone at least seven miles in perhaps three hours, which he fancied had elapsed, his progress in tho last two having been frightfully slow. Every foot of advance he had had to flght for. Suddenly a quick turn in the canon, a passage through a narrow entrance between lofty cliffs, and he found himself in a pocket or a circular amphitheater which he could see was closed on the farther side. The bottom of this enclosure or valley was covered with -shelf. A hard trampled path ran bepines, now drooping under tremendous burdens of snow. In the midst of the pines a lakelet was frozen solid; the ice was' covered with the same dazzling carpet of white. He could have seen nothing of this had not the sudden storm now stopped as precipitately almost as it had begun. Indeed, accustomed to the gray* ness of the snow fail, his eyes were fairly dazzled by the bright light of the sun. now quite high over the range, which struck blm^utt-1n the face. * - He stopped, panting, exhausted, and leaned against the rocky wall of the canon's mouth which here rose sheer over his head. This certainly was the end of the trail, the lake was the source of^ the frozen rivulet along whose rocky and torn banks he had tramped since dawn. Here, if anywhere, he would find the object of his quest. Refreshed by a brief pause, and encouraged by the sudden stilling of the storm, he stepped out of the canon and ascended a little knoll whence he had a full view of the pocket over the tops of the pines. Shading his eyes from the light with his hand as besHie could, he slowly swept the circumference with his eager glance, seeing nothing until his eye fell upon a huge broken trail of.,rocks projecting from the snow, indicating the ascent to a broad shelf of the mountains across the lake to the right. Following this he saw a huge block of snow which suggested dimly the outlines of a hut! Was that the place? Was she there? He stared fascinated and as he did so a thin curl of smoke rose above the snow heap and wavered up In the cold, quiet air! That was a human habitation, then. It could be none other than the hut referred to in tho note. Enid Maitland must be there; and Newbold! The lake lay directly in front of him beyond the trees at the foot of the knoll, and between him and the slope that led up to the hut.1 If it had been summer, he would have been compelled to follow the water's edge to the right or to the left; both journeys would have led over difficult trails, with little to choose between them, but the lake was now frozen hard and covered with snow. He had no doubt that the snow would bear him, but to make sure he drew his snow shoes from his. shoulder, slipped his feet t J the straps, and sped straight 0^ through the trees and across it like aa arrow from a bow. In five minutes he was at the foot of the giant stairs. Kicking off bAs snow shoes, he scrambled up the broken way, easily finding in the snow a trail which bad evidently been passed and repassed daily. In a few moments he was at tbe tor) of the vain attempt again to influence the woman who was now the deciding and determining factor, and who seemed to be taking the man's place, Newbold, ready for his journey, had torn himself away from her presence and had plunged down the giant stair. He had done everything that mortal man could da for her comfort; wood enough to last her for two weeks had been taken from the cave and piled in the kitchen and everywhere so as to be easily accessible to her; the stores she already had the run of, and be had fitted a stout bar to the outer door which would render It impregnable to any attack that might be made against it, although he saw no quarter from which any assault impended. Enid had recovered not only her strength, but a good deal of her nerve. That she loved this man and that he loved her had given her courage. She would be fearfully lonely, of course, but not so much afraid as before. The month of immunity in the mountains without any interruptions had dissipated any possible apprehensions on her part. It was with a sinking heart, however, that she saw him go at last. They had been so much together in that month; they had learned what love was. When he came back it would be different, he would not come alone. The first human being ho met would bring the world to the door of the lonely but beloved cabin in the mountains—the world with its questions, its Inference, its suspicious, ita denunciations and its accusatlonsi- Somo kind of an explanation would have to be made, some sort an answer would have to be given, some solution of the problem would have to be arrived at. What these would be she could not tell. Newbold's departure was like tho end of an era to her. The curtain dropped; when it rose again what was to be expected? There was no comfort except in^ tho thought that she loved him. So long as their affections matched^and rjm Jogether J£4§i°Js> else mattere! With the soluTio?Tot it all next to her sadly beating heart she was still ^supremely confident that fove^ or God—and there was not so much difference between them as to make it worth while to mention the one rather than the oilier—would find the way. Their leavo taking had been singularly cold and abrupt. She had realized the danger ho was apt to Incur and she had exacted a reluctant promise from him that he would be careful. "Don't throw your life* away, don't risk it even, remember that it is mine," she had urged. And just a3 simply as she had enjoined it upon him he had promised. He had given his word that he would not send help back to her but that he would bring it back, and she had confidence in that word. A confidence that had he been inclined to break his promise would have made it absolutely impossible. There had been a long clasp of t\yj hands, a long look in the eyes, a long brealh in tho breast, a long throb \n the heart and then*- farewell. They dared no more. QK?. ielSJS.iv kad W t ^ c f $3 8 ¾ had stood upon the plateau and followed his vanishing figure with anxious troubled thought until it had been lost in the depths of tho forest below. She had controlied herself in thi3 second parting for his sake as well as her own. Under the ashes of his grim repression she realized the presence of Jive coals which a breath would have fanned into flame. She dared nothing while he was there, but when he shut tho door behind him the necessity for self-control was removed. She had laid her arms on the table and bowed hsr head upon them and shook and quivered with emotions unrelieved by a single tear—weeping was for lighter hearts and less severe demands! His position after all was the easier of the two. As of old It was tbe man who went forth to the battlefield while the woman could only wait passively the issue of the fight. Although he wa3 half blinded with emotions he had to give some thought to his progress, and there was yet One task to be done before be could set forth upon his journey toward civilization and rescue. It was fortunate, as it turned out, that this obligation detained him. He, was that type of a merciful man whose mercies extended to his beasts. The poor little burros must be attended to and their safety assured so far as It could be, for it would be Impossible for Enid Maitland to care for them. Indeed he had already exacted a promtee from her that she would not leave the plateau and risk her life on the icy stairs with which" she was so unfamiliar. He had gone to the corral and shaken down food enough for them which if it had been doled out to tbem day by day would have lasted longer than the week bo intended to be absent; of course be realised that Uroy would eat tween high wall* of snow to a door! Beutad that door what would he flrtf? Just what he brought to it, love and hate, he fancied. Wo usually find on the other side of doors no more and no less than we bring to our own sides. But whatever was there there was no hesitation to Armstong's course. He ran toward it, laid his hand on the latch, and: opened it. -i What; creatures of habit we are)! Barry in tbat same morning after on* it up in half that time, but even so they would probably suffer not too great discomfort before he got back* All these preparations took some little time. It had grown somewhat late in the morning before he started. There had been a fierce storm raging when he first looked out and at her earnest solicitation he had delayed his departure until it,had subsided. His tasks at the corral were a t last completed; he had done what he could for them both, nothing now remained but to make the quickest and safest way to the settlement. Shouldering the pack containing his axe and gun and sleeping bag and such provision as would serve to tide him over until he reached human habitations, he set forth. He did not look up to the hut, Indeed he could not have seen it for the corral was almost directly beneath it, but if it had been in full view he would not have looked back, be could not trust himself to, every instinct, every impulse in his soul would fain drag him back to that hut and t o the woman. It was only his will and, did he but know lt, her will that made him carry out his purpose. He would have saved perhaps half a mile on his journey if he had gone straight across the lake to tbe mouth of the canon. We are creatures of habit. He had always gone around the lake on the familiar trail and unconsciously he followed that trail that morning. He was thinking of her aa he plodded on in a mechanical way while the trail followed the border of the lake for a time, plunged into the woods, wound among the pines, at least reaching that narrow rift in the encircling wall through which the river flowed. He had paseed along the trail oblivious to all his surroundings, but as he came to the entrance he could not fail to notice what he suddenly saw in the snow. i Robinson Crusoe when he discovered the famous footprint of Man Friday in the sand was not more astonished at what met his vision than Kggbold onthat winter, morn.ing. For there, in The virgin whiteness, were the tracks of a man! Ho stopped ueau with a sudden con-' traction of the heart. Humanity other than he and she in that wilderness? It could not be! For a moment he doubled the evidence of his own senses. He shook his pack loose from his shoulders and bent down to examine the tracks to read if he could their indications. He could see that some one had come up the canon, that someone had leaned against the wall, that some one had gone on. Where had ho gone? To follow tho new trail was child's play for him. He ran by the side of it until he reached the knoll. The stranger had stopped again, he had shifted frcm one foot to another, evidently ho had been looking about him seeking some one, only Enid Maltland of course. The trail ran forward to the edge of the frozen lake, there the man had put on his snow shoes, there he had sped across the lake ljj;e an arrow, and like an arrow himself although he had left behind his own snow s ^ e s ^ l ^ w S o T d " ran upon lils tract. ^mmaTeTy Hie"snow crust up^ bore him. The trail ran straight to the foot of the rocky stairs. The newcomer had easily found his way there. With beating heart and throbbing pulse, Newbold himself bounded up the acclivity after the stranger, marking as he did so evidences of the other's prior ascent. Reaching the top like him he ran down the narrow path and in his turn laid his hand upon the door. He was not mistaken, he beard voices within. He listened a second and then flung It open, and as the other had done, he entered. Way back on the trail, old Kirkby and Robert Maitland, the storm having ceased, were rapidly climbing up the canon. Fate was bringing all the aotors of the little drama within the shadow of her hand. \ <TO B E CONTINUED.! Just a Man!

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

I never heard such a jumble before. Ralph Herz in "The Charity Girl" gives a fine sample of the railway guard. It is not at all overdrawn. And listen to the voices of young boys. One talks through his nose —"adenoids," comments the doctor. Another overgrown boy pipes in a tiny treble all head tones. Another chops off his words so fast you neyer can tell whether he is saying something or has swallowed a fish bone. The fault lies with the parents and teachers. They should teach children to breathe properly and then insist on clear enunciation. One plainly spoken word is better than a dozen slovenly ones. Boys should be taught the possibilities of their pent up voices. Let them exercise their voices as well as their muscles. It is easier to prevent than correct an,acquired habit To be convinced just listen to the average man's voice. O f t r A T E / T ; fife PiAcr o r m£r MVLTIMlIXIONAlRE/* NEW YORK.—The greatest, most luxurious and complete development of country life that 1B to be found In America is on Long Island. One part, of Long Island particularly surpasses all the rest ln the number and magnificence of its great estates. This is the northern half of Nassau county. The region which extends from Great Neck to Cold Spring Harbor and from the soundsouth nearly to the main line of the Long island railroad contains greater wealth than any portion of the earth'B surface of a similar size outside of a town or city. It is within 30 or 40 minutes of Manhattan by rail. In a well-driven motor car one may pass from one boundary to the other of this section, north or south or east or west, in from 30 to 25 minutes. In this neighborhood more than 200 persons of great wealth have given an expression of their accumulated riches in the largest number" of beautiful country estates in America. A l l this has come about within the last 25 or 80 years. This part of Long Island is of great natural beauty. It has the highest hills, some rising more than 400 feet above the sea. There are several splendid deep water havens without rocks, reefs or shoals, where the largest of steam yachts may lie at anchor. Hempstead, Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbors have been famous since the days of the Indians. The anchorage of the New York Yacht club, in the East river, can be reached from them easily by steam yachts or power boats in from an hour to an hour and a quarter. This region has the greatest mileage of stone roads of any section of equal area in the United States. These country highways have lost nothing of their rustic beauty by being macadamized, and motoring over them is a delight. They are so smooth that the hilly nature of the country offers no impediment to the autoist's enjoyment. In this section also are found the finest trees and the richest soil. A greater variety of plants and trees can be raised to perfection there than anywhere else in America. It i f no wonder, therefore, that not only the very rich have selected this region for their country homes or that those who are kmly fairly well-to-do have been quick to see its advantages and build their houses there. The developers of suburban real estate also have found mis one of their most attractive fields. Select Club Land. This B e c t i o n , too, ls where club life reaches perfection. There are clubs for land sports and clubs for water sports. The Meadow Brook Hunt club ls one of the most famous of the former^ This is the finest fox-hunting regionln America. The Nassau Country club and half a dozen golf clubs cover many acres and afford all the enjoyments of out-of-door life. The Piping Hock Country club ls the largest and newest of aU, and probably is the most magnificently appointed organization of Its kind in the Western Hemisphere, ln addition to these there are fishing clubs, gun clubs, automobile clubs—in fact, a man may find there almost any kind of club for outdoor sports that ne can thinkNOf. The horse shows that are held in tfre^open air every autumn attract a larger attendance from the society folk than the annual event ln Madison Square garden. Mackay Mansion at Roslyn. millionaires. They have none of the trials or worries of money getting. They are concerned more with the en Joyment of life under sunny skies, with every accessory that money can buy. But there are many others who are still busy heaping up their great fortunes still higher. These folk find the same relaxation and rest on their country estates at night and weekends that the small business man does who lives Jn sight of them in his cottage. The season of the greatest social activity in this widespread colony of millionaires is the autumn, but many of the owners of the great estates open their houses i a April and -stay there much of the time until after Thanksgiving. Some spend a few weeks In Europe during the summer, but by early in September there is hardly a house whose family is away. They are all very neighborly. The automobile has moved other splendid places of residence on Long Island close up to this one. It is only an hour or so's motoring from one fine section to another on the south shore or out toward the eastern.end of the island. Nothing is thought of riding 50 miles of an afternoon or evening for a game of bridge or for a dance. Of late years the automobile has become as much a necessity as the horse used to be. Some of these rich residents on Long Island have a dozen motor cars constantly in commission, and a few have as many as 25 or 80. One man is said to own 50. A good many of the dwellers in the- Nassau county district travel back and forth by automobile from their homes to business. Others whose homes are near the Sound, make the trip during the summer months by yacht. Founded by A. T. Stewart The nucleus of this colony of millionaires was near Westbury and dates from the founding of the Meadow Brook club in 1881. As far back as 1266 A. T. Stewart bought 9,- 000 acres of land near Garden City. At that rime his purchase was. regarded as the height of a rich man's folly and the farmers were glad to sell their possessions at from $40 to $60 an acre. Later when the Meadow Brook club became popular, land began to rise, slowly at first, but subsequently with vertiginous rapidity. The original settlers—Quakers for the most part—were slow to sell, but little by little they parted with their homstead farms which were combined and laid out in vast estates for the enjoyment of those who built the palaces that replaced the low-roofed rambling houses. Today $10,000 an acre is asked for many desirable tracts of land in this region. This is especially the case where the land has been allowed to retain all its natural beauty and where the groves of great trees have remained untouched by the ax. mansion is on the top of a wooded hill, 230 feet above the level of the road where it passes the lodge gates. On clear days ships on the ocean can be seen from there, and the nearer, daily panorama of Long Island sound. The big buildings in Manhattan are within view, and at night the lights of Broadway are visible from the housetop. There are ten miles of driveways and four miles of footpaths. The management of the place is as carefully organized as any big business enterprise. There are a number of different departments, each with its head, all under the supervision of a general manager, who reports direct to the owner. An expert accountant comes quarterly and audits the books. Men of Prominence. Here are the names of a few wellknown people who live in this unique colony: Frank L . Babbott, Robert Bacon, Henry L .

There are sleepy old villages that look out upon green, undulating swards like those of Kent or .Devonshire, The houses on the country estates of America's most famous millionaires stand out like white dots on the slopes of green. The towers and turrets of others loom up clear cut against the horizon. The clustered estates practically touch elbows and cover less territory than an ordinary Texas ranch. It is like baronial Europe, only the castles are nearer together. Perfect Country Houses. Some of these country houses—many of them, ln fact—are veritable palaces. Broad avenues overarched by splendid trees lead up to them. Flower-bordered walks give brilliant touches of color to the view. All about are English hedges, with well-trimmed boxes, globes and arches of privet and arbor' vitae. There are parks and plaisances, peacocks and balustrades. The scene has none of the gorgeous theatrical setting of Newport Its beauty is natural and artistic. Fabulous sums have been expended ln this region in inv proving upon nature.

Later some other rich men, appreciative of the delights of country life, on Long Island, bought other hundreds of acres. Year after year the colony of congenial people of wealth increased, but it received its greatest impetus and has, had its largest growth since the motor car.became practicable as a means of sure and swift locomotion. Indeed, the automobile is the principal thing that has made this millionaires' colony possible and has placed it within easy reach of similar communities in other parts of the Island.

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

In illustration, Mr. Page offers, an engaging anecdote from Long's memoir of Lee. ' k It appears that on the afternoon of r the day of the^ surrender at Appomattox, Meads paid a friendly visit to Lee at his headquarters. In the course of the conversation, Lee turned to Meade, who (had been associated ? with nlm as his {officer of engineers in* the "old army," rand said, pleasantly: "Meade, years are telling on you* Your hair is getting quite gray."

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

He took my answer v?ith a slow noddlng of the head; then he walked over c to the window and stood looking out »t the snow driving up fhe dim river. "Emily loves this place" he said; "I am glad X saved it to her; but it was like the story in the Russian fairy book, I tossed the wolf everything Jsise for If * Then he came back to the fire and sat down in his leather chair with bis feet stretched out to the fender. •T will keep your name" 'wolf/ Court- ' landt," he said; " f like it better than , the one hia father gave him. 1 am jglad Emily Is well out of his way, God bless her.

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

He broke the cigar in his fingers and threw the pieces into the Are. * "One morning; after Emily's cards were out I got sV letter from the bank, calling my attention to this note and saying it must be paid.

"Certainly, Courtlandt," he replied. "I shall be greatly in your debt for thinking of the matter, but I fear we shall come back in the end to & counting jof centimes, and the problem of a cheap little inn, with a roast fowl now and then and wine of the country." 1 had no opportunity to consult with Randolph Mason until the evening of the following day.' ' I went Into the room and silting down in tbe chair before the table, made my excuses for interrupting bis coffee and told General Cruger's story. ^r.UB^^M^9^ is a great injury to * very helpless man,: MW: £1 flUi mortgage to be avoided>w*- He answered me with a listless, unconcern, still looking after tbe departing Pietro, "It is not to be avoided," he said. "Let the man sign it and pay his debt to the bank."" I caught helplessly at the last straw floating out from my disastrous shipwreck; "What then?" I said. "What then?" he repeated, wtth the same indplent indifference. 1 "Why, then, there will be another day tomorrow," And he went out of the room and' up to his bedchamber, where the silent Pietro made ready for his eccentric master. I had a long talk that night with Pietro. He had . a cousin in Polianno, a village about a league from Genoa, where the Mediterranean makes a little sunny pocket. The place, he thought, ran with General Cruger's dream of the Riviera, the bay was paved with topaz, the far-off back of the sea wine-red, as in the days of Homer, the air soft as down—only the natives were not to be desired. They were picturesque enough for a theatric eye, but they were very dirty, very stout liars, and all sons of the forty thieves. H i s cousin, Guido, was no better than the worst of them, but he kept a very comfortable inn, if the fleas in it were only dead. His wife, Gabriella, had once been in the service of the old Marquis Ferretti at Genoa and knew how to serve a gentleman. Pietro would write to this cousin and drive a bargain for every detail of General Cruger's needs. There was no comfort to be had from waiting, so I picked up a map, a Baedecker, some current fiction on Italy, and, taking the evil-fated mortgage in my pocket, went to Cliffcourt the next evening. I almost cried when I saw General Cruger, his face was so greatly troubled. He looked white and feeble, an old man in two days. He tried to make a little genial talk at dinner, and get back into his old cheery self. But it was an effort he gave up presently with a rather bitter smile. "Mr. Parks," he said, when we were again in the library, "Victor Hugo once said that bad fortune always grew worse, and pretended it a quotation from the Sybilline bopks. He believed that Destiny, when it seized a man, always hurried him from one disaster to another until it flung him, finally, into the grave. The first blow was not always the one to be wept over. It was the second, the third, that he feared. Well, here is the second." He took up a letter from the mantel and drew out the sheets as though he would read it to me; then he sat down in his chair still holding the sheets in his fingers. "I got this letter yesterday from Emily. It was written from the St. Louis as she went out to sea, and brought in by the pilot." He stopped a moment and sat staring into the fire, as if caught by some vagrant memory. Then he read the letter. It was a. happy letter, charmingly put, full of tenderness for the old father in his lonely house, carrying little directions to him, little messages which he should deliver, little duties he must perform. He folded the letter and laid it on the table. Then he spoke with the distinctness of one going firmly to his ruin. Italy was now out of the question; he must remain and get employment somewhere. But, first, this business with the bank must be concluded. He would go up to the city with me in the morning, execute the mortgage and take up the note. He did not ask me about my conference with Randolph Mason, and so I was spared the recital of that failure. When the candles burned down, I slept again in the guest-chamber above the l i - brary, but no aid came through the gate of dreams. Hope had abandoned this derelict to the seas. We went into the wolf's bank at ten o'clock the next morning. General Cruger executed the mortgage, and a notary of the bank filled in the prepared acknowledgment below his signature. The bonds were delivered to the secretary of Myron Gates, the money paid by him to General Cruger, who delivered the cash to the bank and got the note stamped "Paid." Then, when the transaction was concluded, we had luncheon at a club and I returned to lower Broadway after having promised General Cruger to meet him for dinner at the Holland. When I entered the house, Randolph Mason was coming down the stairway. He Inquired what business had taken up the morning, and I told him, as bitterly as I could, the sequel to my other story. General Cruger was now penniless, Myron Gates had boarded his galleon and sailed away with Its cargo without a shot at his black flag or the hack of a cutlass on his gunwales. He was over tbe horizon with his loot, the thing was ended. "Nothing is ended," said Mason, "until lt arrives at its adjustment* "Then," I said, "this is a case for the Court of Final Equity, if it ever sits." "It is a case for me," he said. I looked at him in wonder. " A case for you?" I echoed. "You said 'Execute the mortgage and let the man pay the bank/ " "I did," he replied. "You have followed that direction, I believe." I did not understand. ; "We followed the inevitable," I answered him. "It was the only thing to do. You recognized that yourself." Vlt was the right thing to do," he said; "but not the only thing." "Why, Mr. Mason," I said, "I asked you 'What then?* and you said there would be another day tomorrow*" . "It is here," he answered. "Each ttay to Ha own events. Tbe foe* ccuv, fuse* his assistant with* multRud* of directions. This is to be done now: You will at once hold a meeting of the Cruger Coal company under a call signed by all tbe members of the company, and as provided by law. Prepare the record of the company in proper form, authorize a mortgage on all the property of the company to the London Trust company of this city as trustee to, secure a loan of two hundred and twenty thousand dollars. These mines, I discover, are easily worth that sum, including the earnings for one year. Some foreign clients of the banking house of Hurst & Solmeyer will pay i n cash two hundred thousand dollars for these bonds upon the execution of the mortgage. Let General Cruger take that Bum and hide it somewhere in Europe under his daughter's apron. Bring me the mortgage when it is ready to be signed." In the face of all my experience of Randolph Mason, I hazarded an objection. "But," I said, "the first mortgage is executed. Do you mean that this property is worth enough to secure another mortgage?" "No," he answered, "I have Just said that these minea are worth two hundred and twenty thousand dollars." "Then," I said, "you mean this loss to fall on Hurst & Solmeyer?" "No," he said, "Hurst & Solmeyer will make twenty thousand dollars." "Surely," I said, "you do not mean to date this mortgage before the other one, do you? No notary could be got to certify an incorrect date." He looked at me a moment. "Parks," he said* "I fear that you are beginning to be a foci." Then he came down the steps and went Into his private office. ^Thls light breaking suddenly on a supposedly hopeless darkness, confused me, or else I had not put useless questions to Randolph Mason. I .should have known better. Mason's words were never idle, nor were his plans visionary and barren, whether he bid one do a little or a great thing. The story of Naaman and the Prophet was convincing precedent. I did not understand these new instructions and could not point ouftheir intent to General Cruger, but I knew that a pit was being digged for Myron Gates, and that was light enough. I explained all this frankly to the old man that evening after dinner at the Holland. I urged him with the logic of the Syrian's servants. If Randolph Mason had bid us build a great, looming trap for the wolf, we should have done it. How much rather then this easy thing which he suggested! I did not comprehend, any more than he, hew it could r**ult as Mason said it would. It would take, in my opinion, words and passes, charmed amulets and the laying on of hands to induce any bankers to advance money on a second mortgage when the property involved wjis" worth scarcely the value of the fifst. Still, Randolph Mason said the bankers would pay over the money, and he knew. I would pledge my life on that. I was aware, too, that Solmeyer believed in Mason as the Maid of Israel did in Elisha, and that the firm had made a fortune of six figures through that faith. I had my way about it in the end. The meeting of the Cruger Coal company was held, the record correctly made, the bonds authorized, and the mortgage prepared in every detail as the law required it. I took it to Randolph Mason when the scrivener had finished. He examined it carefully, called in a notary, dictated the cer« tificate, bad the signatures properly affixed, and sent me with it to the bankers. They took It with the bonds and handed General Cruger a draft on the Rothschilds in Paris for two hundred thousand dollars. I walked uptown with the bewildered old man to his club. He was silent for a block of the way, dazed by this incredible fortune. Finally, he put his hand on my arm. "My dear friend," he said, "I seem to be quite awake, and yet this event is after the manner of dreams or the illusion of some Oriental drug." He went on slowly a little farther up Broadway. Then he stopped as though taken with a sudden resolution. and I take it that he has sent you to see if we, ourselves, understand4t" Then he pulled out the drawer of the table and laid before me the mortgage, a copy of the one executed fdr Myron Gates, a report of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia, and a copy of the Acts of it£ Legislature. Each volume was marked with a slip of paper. The banker opened first the volume of Acts. "You will observe," he said, "that the old form of acknowledgment jfor corporations was changed by this act, and a new form given, i n which the president of the corporation must cer/j tify under oath that he is such oflicer, and authorized to execute such a par per. Now, the scrivener who drew the GateB mortgage used the old form of acknowledgment as be found it in the form books, while our mortgage, you will notice, is executed under the new form of acknowledgment," "Well," I said, "what important effect can that have? The Gates mortgage is in proper form, there is only a mistake in the certificate of acknowledgment. That does not invalidate the mortgage, nor affect the validity of the bonds." For answer the banker opened the volume of reports, and passed it across the table to me, his finger marking the page. It was a decision of the Court of Last Resort in the state where the mortgaged property was situated, holding that such a mortgage, certified under the old form of acknowledgment, could not be admitted to record so as to create a lien on the property, that such an acknowledgment was void, and that spreading such a mortgage, so acknowledged, on the county records did not make it a recorded lien. The matter was now clear. The Gatej mortgage was not a lien. Gates was only a general creditor. The first and only Hen on these coal properties was this last mortgage, which was properly acknowledged, and could be admitted to record. The estate pledged was worth merely the amount of the last mortgage. When it was foreclosed, as it doubtless would be, Hurst & Solmeyer's clients, the innocent for. eign holders of the really secured bonds, would be paid in full. Myron Gates would come in after them as a general creditor, but there would be no assets with which to pay his debt. Hia bonds were, therefore, worthless, his debt worthless. The bank had been paid in cash, the note liquidated; thus the bank was not affected. Hurst & Solmeyer would make twenty thousand dollars. Myron Gates was the only one upon whom the loss would fall. He would be out two hundred thousand dollars. I understood now why Randolph Ma* son had merely said, "Let the man execute tbis mortgage and pay the bank." When he had looked at the legal paper he had instantly seen the old form of acknowledgment and knew that it was void. Myron Gate's draftsman had worked his undoing. It was necessary only to get the money from Gates and pay the note at the bank, so that this valid debt would be liquidated with cash and the bank eliminated from the problem, then create a proper lien to a second creditor and leave Gates to whistle for his money. The case was simple, eminently practicable, impossible of failure. Myron Gates had set his own trap, digged his own p i t His trap had crushed him, his pit received him, the score was set* tied with him to the last cent. I saw, also, why Randolph Mason wished to keep the explanation confined to the fewest possible persons. He did not wish Gates to discover the defect in his mortgage until he at* tempted to foreclose it, after the first default in the payment of the interest on his bonds, one year after the execution of the mortgage. It would then be too late for any proceedings in insolvency to affect the second mortgage. So he had left the solution a mystery, even to me, and enjoined Hurst & Solmeyer to secrecy. Myron Gates would rest easy until he began to foreclose, some months, perhaps, after the end of the year. Then he would awake to find his mortgage smoke under him, his bonds rags, his debt vanished. son directed me to go to, Europe and hide this money in my daughter's apron. I will go tomorrow on the Baltic. Come down to the ship at eleven and explain this miracle to me. I will run up home now for the luggage." Then he took a car to bis train and I returned to the banking house of Hurst & Solmeyer. I, also, wished an explanation. I walked straight through tbe building to the private office of the elder banker, and sat down before bim at his table: "Solmeyer," I said, "were you sure that tbe brick which you have just bought is gold?" The old man smiled and stroked his long, patriarchal beard. "Yes, Mr. Parks," he said, "tbis one is gold, Gates got the brass one." "Impossible," I replied. "Myron Gates got a mortgage prepared by his own scrivener for the full value of this property. His security is prior to yours. How could bis brick be brasB?" The old man's black eyes twinkled in their deep sockets. "Mr. Parks," he said, "you do not know the Prophets. Is i t not written 'Whoso causeth the righteous to -go astray i n an evil way shall fall himself into his own pit?'" "The quotation is hopeful," I said, "but into what pit did Myron Gates fall?" s • / The old banker looked me searching* ly in the face.

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

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

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

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

"How do you know?" aBked the magistrate. "He's my sweetheart, judge, and he never done a thing like that in his life." "You never can tell," said the magistrate. "Have you any better evidence?" "I'm Rose Finnegan and I'm tho second maid at Mrs. Bates'," she said, "and this lady here is the cook, Mrs. Reilly. This gentleman here he sells ribbons downtown and he's been my steady company for months. He was good, steady company, but all he could do was to sit still and play with his hat. There wasn't' any romance at all to it, judge. He takes me to a play the other night and that gave me an idea. I started to teach him how to be romantic. I told him instead of coming to the basement door and ringing the bell, just as though ho was bringing some groceries instead of-candy, he ought to climb up on a balcony or do something like that. "He did not want to do it. He said that he was not up to those things. I said he would have to do it or I would go out with the fireman around the corner. "He said he guessed he'd have to do it, but I would have to pick out something easy. I told him all he'd have to do would be to climb up a ropo to my window, and the cook and I would help him.

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

Too many people are making a living off of what is produced. There are too many profits between the farm and the home. This does not apply to the country merchant, as he is an absolute neoess ity.

State Treasurer—John W. Haarer, of Ann Arbor. Auditor-Genera'l—Oramef B. Fuller, of Ford River. Attorney-General—Grant Fellows, of Hudson. Land Commissioner—Augustus C. Carton, of East Tawas. '^" i n their repoxt^tb Gov. Osborn on the investigation of.^e^'t^nprfting by "2apt. F. L . Mackman and Private Howard Jackson'of-John-Eisy at Jackson two weeks ago, the military court of inquiry says: •'• . i . "The court finds as a matter of law that -Capt. -Frank L . filackman, Lieut. R. F. Smith, Privates Howard Jackson and Clare McArdle are not legally responsible for the death of John Eisy ^nd that their action in the matter of his death was due to their obedience**^ the Order 'to aid in maintaining order and protecting property' at the prison; in other words that the homicide was justifiable." The report is a voluminous one including all the testimony taken which is referred to in the findings of the facts and a law brief setting forth the authorities on which arc based the opinions of the court. The sprit of harmony and the good feeling that characterized the early part of the Republican state .convention prevailed Tuesday while nominations were being made for places on the state ticket. There were only three contests for secretary of state, auditor general and state treasurer, and they did not develop much, if any, ill-feeling. Justice Kuhn was re-nominated without opposition, the rules being suspended and the secretary being instructed to cast the entire vote of the convention. No Opposition to Steere. Justice Joseph H . Steers, of the Soo, against whom there had been no opposition, was nominated in a similar manner to complete the term of the late Justice Frank A. Hooker, which expires Dec. 31, 1913. • The closest contest was that for state treasurer. There were three candidates— John W. Haarer, of Ann Arbor, who for several years has been deputy state treasurer; State Senator Albert C. Kingman, of Battle Creek, and Stale Senator John M . Perry, of Osceola county. Haarer won, on the first and only ballot, receiving 19 more votes than his two opponents. The ballot resulted: Haarer, 743; Kingman, 432; ' Perry, 292. Haarer's name was placed in nomination by Congressman W. W. Wedemeyer, of Ann Arbor. Former Congressman Washington Gardner performed a similar service for Senator Kingman, while a Mr. Wfsner, named Senator Perry. As generally expected, Oramel B. Fuller, of Ford River, who is now serving his second term, was easily re-nominated for auditor general. H i s name was presented by Congressman H. 01 in Young, of Ishpeming, who slatecl that since his incumbency, Auditor General Fuller had greatly reduced expenses and had satisfactorily administered the business of the office. Victor M . Gore, of Benton Harbor, named. Dr. Arthur W. Scidmore, of Three Rivers. The roll call of counties had not proceeded far before it became evident that Fuller would be an easy winner, and when it was completed, Dr. Scidmore himself moved that the rules be suspended and the secretary be instructed to cast the entire vote of the convention for his opponent. Dr. Scidmcre'r, action was applauded. Martindale Has No Fight, Secretary of State Frederick C. Martindale, of Detroit, was easily re-nominated for a third term. In presenting his name to the convention, John D. MacKay, of Detroit, stated that Mr. Martindale is a man who has always placed the interests of his country, state and party above his own and who recently proved himself a graceful loser in the contest for the gubernatorial nomination at the primary election. The name of State Senator Coleman C. Vaughan, of Clinton county, was forcefully presented by Attorney William Smith, of St. Johns. The only ballot resulted: Martindale, 1,043; Vaughan, 422. There was no fight on the nomination for attorney general, it having become evident before the delegates convened that Grant Fellows, of Hudson, would have a walk-away. When nomination were called for, Watts S. Humphrey, of Saginaw, . rose and moved that the rules be suspended and the secretary be instructed to cast the entire vote of the convention for Mr. Fellows. After adopting the state plafform/as recommended by the committee on resolutions, the convention unanimously ratified the action of the Bay City convention by re-electing Alex J. Groesbeck, of Detroit, to the chairmanship of the state central Committee, T H E M A R K E T S .

C H A P T E R X X I . The Odde Against Him. The noise of the opening of the 4QQT and the inrush of cold air that f l o w e d awoke Enid Maitland to in- . -jtant action. She rose/to her feet and i faced the entrance through which she expected Newbold to reappear—for of course the newcomer must be he— md for the life of her she could not that radiating flash of joy, the mntary anticipation of which fair- Igd her being; although if to reflect she would that not in the acquaintance had fcgr room at any hod receiving Enid!" he cried. Naturally he thought the look of expedant happiness he had surprised! upon her face was for him and he accounted for its sudden disappearance by the shock of his unexpected, unannounced, abrupt, entrance. The warm color had flushed her face, but as she stared at him her aspect rapidly changed. She grew paler. The happy light that had shone in her eyes faded away and as he approached her she shrank back. "You!" she exclaimed almost in terror. "Yes," he answered smilingly; "I have found you at last. Thank God you are safe and well. Oh, if you could only know the agonies I have gone through. I thought I loved you when I left you six weeks ago, but now—" In eager impetuosity he drew nearer to her. Another moment and he would have taken her in his arms, but she would have none of him. "Stop," she said with a cold and inflexible sternness that gave pause even to his buoyant joyful assurance. "Why, what's the matter?" "The matter? Everything, but—" "No evasions, please," continued the man still cheerfully but with a growing misgiving. His suspicions, in abeyance for the moment because of his Joy at seeing her alive and well, arose with renewed force. "I left you practically pledged to me," he resumed. "Not so fast/' answered Enid Maitland, determined to combat the lightest attempt to establish a binding claim upon her. "Isn't it true?" asked Armstrong. "Here, wait," he caid before she could answer, "I am half frozen, I have been searching for you since early morning in the storm." He unbuttoned and unbelted his huge fur coat as he spoke and threw it carelessly on the floor by his Winchester leaning against the wall. "Now," he resumed, "I can talk better." v "You must have something to then," said the girl. She was glad of the Interruption since she was playing f o r time. She did not quite know how the interview would end, he had come upon her so unexpectedly and she had never formulated what she would say to him, that which she felt she must say, She must have time to think, to collect herself, which he in his part was quite willing to give her, for he was not much better prepared for the interview than she. He really was hungry and tired, his early journey had been .foolhardy and in the highest degree ngerous. The violence of his admirfor her added to the excitement esence, and the probable nearbold as to whose whereabouts he wondered were not conducive to rapid recuperation. It would be comfort to him also to have food and time. "Sit down," she said. "I shall be back in a moment." ^ The Are of the morning was still burning in the stove in the kitchen; to heat a can of soup, to make him some buttered toast and hot coffee, were the tasks of a few moments; she brought them back to him, set them on the table before him and bade him fall to. "By jove," exclaimed the man after a little time as he began to eat hastily but with great relish what she had prepared, while she stood over him watching him silently. "This is cozy. A warm, comfortable room, something to eat served by the finest woman in the world, the prettiest girl on earth to look at—what more could a man desire? This is the way it's going to be always in the future." "You have no warrant whatever for saying or hoping that," answered the girl slowly but decisively. "Have I not?" asked the man quickly. "Did you not say to me a little while ago that you liked me better than any man you had ever met and that 1 might win you if I could? Well, I can, and what's more, I will in spite of yourself, Enid,"—he laughed. "Why, the memory of that kiss I stole from you makes me mad." He pushed the things before him and rose to his feet once more. "Come, give me another," he said, "it isn't in the power of woman to stand against a love like mine." "Isn't It?" "No, indeed." "Louise Newbold did," she answered very quietly but with the swiftness and the dexterity of a sword thrust by a master hand, a mighty arm. Armstrong stared at her in open mouthed astonishment. "What do you know about Louise Rosser or Newbold?" he asked at last. " A l l that I want to know." "And did that damned hound tell you?" If you mean Mr. Newbold, he never mentioned your name, he does not know you exist." "Where is he now?" thundered the man. "Have no fear," answered the woman calmly, "he has gone to the settlements to tell them I am safe and to seek help to get me out of the mountains "Fear!" exclaimr\ Armstrong, proudly, "I fear nothing on earth. For years, ever since I heard his name in fact, I have longed to meet,him. I want to know who told you about that woman—Kirkby?" "He never mentioned your name in connection -with her." "But you must have heard it somewhere," cried the man thoroughly bewildered. "The birds of the air didn't tell it to you, did they?" herself," answered 1 Maitland. told you? Why, sjie's been grave five years, shot to urderous dosj ol a husonly resources were his strength, not of mind but of body. He made another most damaging mistake at this juncture. "We are alone here, and I am master, remember," he said meaningly. "Come, lot's make up. Give me a kiss for my pains and—" "I have been alone here for a month with" another man," answered Enid Maitland who was strangely unafraid In spite of this threat. " A gentleman, he has never so much as offered to touch my hand without my permission; the contrast is quite to your disadvantage." "Are you jealous of Louise Rosser?" asked Armstrong suddenly seeing that he was losing ground and casting about desperately to account for it, and to recover what was escapiug him. "Why, that was nothing, a mere boy and girl affair," he ran on with a specious good humor as if it were all a trifle. "The woman was, I hate to say it, just crazy in love with me, but I really never cared anything especially for her; It was just a harmless sort of flirtation anyway. She afterward married this man Newbold and that's all there was about it." The truth would not serve him and In his desperation and desire he staked everything on this astounding lie. The woman he loved looked at him with her face as rigid as a mask. "You won't hold that against me, will you?" pleaded the man. "I told you that I'd been a man among men, yes, among women, too, here in this rough country, and that I wasn't worthy of you; there are lots of things in my past that I ought to be ashamed of and I am, and the more I see you the more ashamed I grow, but as for loving any one else, all that I've ever thought or felt or experienced before now 1¾ just nothing." And this indeed was true, and even Enid Maitland with all her prejudice could realize and underfl-tand i t Out of the same mouth, was said of old, proceeded blessing and cursing, and from these same lips came truth and falsehood; but the power of the truth to influence this woman was as nothing to the power of falsehood. She could never have loved him, she now knew; a better man had won her affections, a nobler being claimed her heart; but if he had told the truth regarding his relationship to Newbold's wife and then had completed it with his passionate avowal of, his present love for her, she would have at least admired him and respected him. "You have cot told me the truth," she answered directly; "you have deliberately been false." "Can't you see," protested the man drawing nearer to her, "how much I love you?" "Oh, that; yes I suppose that is true; as far as you can love* any one will admit that me. "So far as I can love any one?" he repeated after her. "Give mo a chance and n i show you." "But you haven't told the truth about Mrs. Newbold, You have calumniated the dead, you have' sought to shelter yourself by throwing the burden of a guiltyjpaaaJoh ufton the weakvessel; it tjm*t manlifce, ft isn't— Armstrong va*g a'fadldj lighter, quick pr&m&t V his decisions. He made another effdruo set himself right. He ' ftfced hta a l l y another throw of the which hAbegan to feel were loadeUgainst him. J i V he admitted, wonw much the woman 'JL true, it was amed of it. that I but ing against desperate odds, he bad no knowledge of how much she knew, or where she had learned anything. Every one about the mining camp where she had lived bad known of hiB love for Louise Rosser, but he had not supposed there was a single human soul who had been privy to its later developments, and he could not figure out any way by which Enid Maitland could have learned by any possibility any more of the story than he had told her. He had calculated swiftly and with the utmost nicety, just how much he should confess. He was a keen witted clever man and he was fighting for what he held most dear, but his eagerness and zeal, as they have often done, overrode his judgment, and he made another mistake at this juncture. His evil genius was at his elbow. "You must remember," he continued, "that you havo been alone here in these mountains with a man for over a month; the world— "What, what do you mean?" exclaimed the girl, who indeed knew very well what he meant, but who would not admit the possibility. "It's not every man," he added, blindly rushing to his doom, "that would care for you or want you—after that." He received a sudden and terrible enlightenment. "You coward," she cried, with upraised hand, whether in protest or to strike him neither e v e r knew, for at that moment iho door opened the second time that morning to admit another man. C H A P T E R X X i l . The L a 3 t Resort of K i n g s a n d M e n . The sudden entrant upon a quarrel between others is invariably at a disadvantage. Usually ho is unaware of the cause of difference and generally he has no idea of the stage of development^ tho affair that has been reached.'.-' S e w bold suffered from this lack of knowledge and to these disadvantages were added others. For instance, he had not the faintest Idea as to who or what was the stranger. The room w a s not very light in the day tim.3. Armstrong happened to be standing with his bask to it at some distance from the window by the side of whlcn Enid stood. Six years naturally and inevitably makes some difference in a man's appearance, and it is not to be wondered that at first Newbold did not i •^•ognize the man before him as H::.' original of the face in his wife's lo'-'l;".t, although he had studied that face over and over again. A nearer scrutiny, a longer study, would have enlightened him of course, but for tho present he saw nothing but a stranger visibly perturbed on one side and the woman he loved apparently fiercely resentful, stormily indignant, confronting tho other with an upraised hand. The m,p,n, •'.•hecvor he was, had affronted her, had aroused her indignation, perhaps* had insulted her, that was plain, l i e went .swiftly to her side, he Interposed himself between her and the man. "Enid," he asked, and his easy use of tho name was a revelation and an illumination to Armstrong, "who 1» this man, what has he done?" It was Armstrong who replied, it Newbold were in the dark, not so he; although they had never spoken, ha had seen Newbold. He recognized him instantly, indeed, recognized or not, the newuamer could be no other man in the mountains. He had exthan he. There was doubtless no othpected to find him when he approached the hut and was ready for bim. To the fire of his ancient hatred and jealousy was added a new fuel that increased its heat and flame. This -man had come between Armstrong and the woman he loved before and had got away unscathed; evidently he had come between him and this new woman he loved. Well, he should be made to suffer for it this time and by Armstrong's own hands. The instant Newbold had entered the room Armstrong had thirsted to leap upon him, and he meant to do it. One or the other of them, he swore in his heart, should never leave that room alive. But Newbold should have his chance. Armstrong was as brave, as fearless, as intrepid, as any man on earth. There was nruch that was admirable in his character; h'e would not take any man at a disadvantage in an encounter such as he proposed. He would not hesitate to rob a man of his wife if he could, and he would not shrink from any deceit necessary to gain his purpose with a woman, for good or evil, but he had his own ideas of honor, he would not shoot an enemy in the back for instance. Singular perversion, this, to which some minds are liable! To take from a man his wife by subtle and underhand methods, to rob him of that which makes life dear and sweetthere was nothing dishonorable in that! J Jut to take his life, a thing ot infinitely l e s 3 moment, by the same process—that was not to be thought of. In Armstrong's code it was right, it was Imperative, to confront a man with the truth and take the consequences; but to confront a woman with a lie and take her body and soul, If so be sh« might be gained, was equally admli* able. And there are other souls than Armstrong's in which this moral In' consistency and obliquity about mer and women has lodgment! (TO BE CONTINUED.) Chance for One-Armed Man.

As the years have passed and case after case has enlisted my sympathies I have been filled with a growing indignation at seeing young men marry young girls and very shortly begin to treat them with such gross cruelty that divorce or death was the only alternative. It would •almost seem as if these men had deliberately entered into the marriage relation in order that they might have a victim of their own at hand to perpetuate their cruelties upon—a victim tied fast to them by the bands o i the law—"for better or worse." I have in mind a gentle, sweet-faced girl for whom I had the pleasure of obtaining a divorce from such a monster after her marriage or less than two years' duration. And yet, in outward seeming, the husband was rathv an inoffensive looking young man. Some- months later, meeting the gray-haired judge who had granted the divorce, he stopped me and asked about the young lady, remarking: "I don't think, in all the cases that have been tried before me, I ever remember to have heard cf such cruelty to a wife." I believe that young men of a certain class enter into the marriage relation far more lightly than young women. With the accessories of a clean shave and a new suit, a very ordinary youth may pass as an embodiment of manly virtues in the eyes of an unsophisticated young girl, particularly by moon-light. While to her their marriage may mean the realization of a dream of home and happiness, to him it often means only a new experience, which he can bring to an end at will when he grows tired of it. Among joung people of slight education I have found the above to be often true. The well-considered marriages of the educated and refined young men and women result in fewer divorces. When I take into account the great number of husbands who have gone away in the morning and have forgotten to ever come back to theii families, and whose wives in the course of time have obtained a divorc* on the ground of desertion, I am inclined to say that men are more responsible for the increase of divorce than women. When I see passing before me in the moving picture of memory a long procession of sad-faced wives who, night after night, year in and year out, have been compelled to look upon the besotted, foul-breathing creatures huddled before them, and to reflect that they called IT husband; when I see still other women whose faces bear the impress of terror inspired by husbands whom drink turned to fiends, pursuing their wives and children with knives and axes—I feel inclined to say that men axe. more responsible for the increase of divorce than women. But then, as I said in the beginning, I may * CC~**+ be biased in my views. ^ 7 • V * As a mother in Israel and a woman of experience and discretion! I wish to lift up my voice in the councils of the people and protest that not all the sartorial offenses are committed by members of my sex. What is more idiotic and uncomfortable than the masculine street garb? The coat, in summer, is an abomination, as all men confess, yet they haven't the courage to go without it. Trousers are the last word in hideousness, and have neither comfort, grace nor modesty to commend them. And no woman would wear a stiff straw or derby hat that left its mark in a red groove around the forehead. The laws of the Medes and Persians were not more inexorable than those governing men's attire—else why should men's shirts continue to be made as they are, with most of the cloth below the waist line? Little boys' waists are of the right cut, but then little boys' clothing is selected Iby their mammas. k On general observation it would seem as though the question of the day was not the high cost of living but what the standards of our American mothers of the future will be.

With the land on which it stands It is carried on the books of the city of New York at present at between $5,000,- 000 and $6,000,000. For its siize the Tombs iis the most expensive prison in the world. The present structure and the Egyptian temple that preceded it and that bore the same name have housed some of the most famous criminals in the world. For the amount of money that has been spent on it and the amount of money that is being spent on it each year to maintain it and make it secure, it should be the strongest Jail in America. As a matter of fact it is little more than a joke. Within the last sixty days two murderers have escaped from it. Nothing in the history of Newgate surpasses in daring one of these escapes. A short time ago Raymond Forsbrey, a murderous young burglar, got out of his isolated cell and over the Tombs wall, and has not been heard of since. His escape is all the more remarkable because every one in the Tombs, from the warden down to the trusties, knew he was one of the most desperate of men. They had knowledge of his Ingenuity and audacity. They knew that a few days before a woman had smuggled saws and acid— some say dynamite also—Into his cell, and that he had been detected in cutting hirVay out, not through any astuteness of his guards, but simply because of his own carelessness. They knew he had boasted he would escape, and that he had openly dec Tared he held the Tombs and everything and everybody In it In the utmost contempt. And then, after they had, put him in what was supposed to be the most secure cell of all in the tfreet prison, he "turned the trick" in a way that astounded his jailors and aside! New Yorkers gasp. " y ^ Wltson's Escape a Watery. Then there was the caS of WJtson, another murderous criml*I, last J He simply got out of h1 cell, a man on the head an not leave any clew to going. Whether Si or out 0 through t aerop do get their jobs by favor of their district leader. A job in the Tombs is not measured by the salary it brings, but by the opportunities for graft attached to it. It is a good deal like a police captaincy or a police inspectorship. There is graft in pretty nearly everything connected with the Tombs. No prison in America has such an unsavory reputation m that respect. This graft and corruption has been exposed time and again. It fills many pages in a book written by one of the former chaplains of the Tombs. It is so well known among the denizens of the underworld that liquor, morphine, cocaine and other drugs may eb obtained freely by prisoners there, that it is hardly worth mentioning. It is related by former Tombs Chap- Tain J. J. Munro that when a certain politician was boss of the City prison, as the Tombs is called, murderers, as soon as they gave their pedigree at the desk, were marched to the warden's office, where they were privately catechized to know whether any steerer of the prison had been giving them any information about lawyers, and then informed it was tot necessary for them to go to court in order to get counsel; that he would, out of the goodness of his heart, look after their interests and assign a lawyer to them. Two or three shyster firms had the murder cases during this warden's regime. They got $500 a head, which was the amount of money allowed by the state for the defense of every murderer, less one-half, which went to the grafting warden. Out of this grew a rule that is more or less observed now, that no prisoner in the Tombs can change h attorney without the consent 0 court.

No Trace of Escaped Prisoners. Nothing has been seep or heard of Witson or of Forsbrey. Probably t^e, police have followed the French custom, "cherchez la f em me," in trying to locate their whereabouts. The girl who smuggled the saws and acid and other things to Forsbrey is now In a Catholic institution. Just who was Witson's woman friend—and it is more or less sure he had one—is not known. The escapes of Whitson and Forsbrey ofTer an absolute blankness of trail in the world outside the Tombs. The pictures of these two criminals have been published far and wide. They are in every police station. They have been studied by more than 10,000 men whose business it is supposed to be to capture them. Their habits, their haunts and their general characteristics are widely known. But they are no nearer being found, apparently, than they were immediately after they decamped. Probably the most famous escape from the Tombs WEB Sharkey's, in 1872, Sharkey was locked up there for the murder of a man named Dunn. This, of course, was in the old prison. A woman named Maggie Jordan was Sharkey's sweetheart, and, thanks to her Influence and her money, she visited him every day in his cell. She always came heavily veiled, and as she passed the five different gatekeepers that stood between Sharkey's cell and the outer world she always had a pleasant w o r d and a bit of a gift for each. Sometimes it was whisky, sometimes a box of cigars, and sometimes an invitation to visit her house up town and pass a pleasant evening. At any rate, Maggie Jordan continued visiting Sharkey.in his cell day after day. She was permitted to spend as long a time as she wished in the cell, the door being left unlocked. One day after she h a d departed a k e e p e r went to Sharkey's cell to pass the t i m e of day w i t h him and to ask if there was anything he wanted. He found Maggie Jordan there, dressed In Sharkey's clothes. Sharkey himself had donned Maggie Jordan's garments and, heavily veiled, had walked out past^aH the keepers. S h a r k e y Proved Ungrateful. Sharkey's life was due to the full measure of devotion that this woman had given him, yet in the end he showed himself a base lngrate. She had risked everything for him. She had given him her mone. her love and had risked her liberty. After his eBcape, so goes the story, he fled as she had planned. He wandered here and there on the face of the earth. The .police were befogged, Just as they are now about Witson and Forsbrey. Maggie Jordan was arrested, of course, but afterward she was released. She was a heroic figure in the eyes of a lot of New Yorkers. There Is a certain sentiment among men in New York that is a good deal like that which prevails In Paris where a woman is concerned. There always is something appealing in such an action as that of Maggie Jordan's, After her release from prison Maggie Jordan wandered here and there. The police watched her constantly. There were spies among her serva: even among her neighbors, hour in the day some one watch to find some municatlon that Maggie Jord was as she h al GIN-XOTS BODY RECOVERED . u t o m w i m m U H W ^iP.t if-U: &p . ^ u . \ Graphic Story Related by Dr. Melcher^j Who Brought Corpse Out of the "\ Confederate Lines* ^ - >i Samuel K . Melcher, who now Uvea at 2327 West Jackson boulevard, Chfc cago, obtained the body of Gen. Lyon from Gen. Price after the battle off Wilson's Creek and carried it into tie Union lines, accompanied by. a volunteer escort of confederate soldiers. In his oapacity of army surgeon Dr. Melcher was immune from capture and imprisonment by the enemy and his way without trouble to Gen, Price's) headquarters, assisted by a friendly colonel. He can speak authoritatively on the much discussed subject of] Gen. Lyon's garb at the time of' the battle and states that the geWar waa dressed In military uniform, The story of the recovery of the body is told itt Dr. Melcher's own words as follows: "When Col. Sigel's reserve, whlcb had retreated on the Wire road, south, halted at the Thompson farm some of. the men brought to me Gen. Rains* division surgeon, Smith, who had been captured while coming with help for the wounded. I had him immediately released and we started back on the] Wire road in the direction the fighting had taken place to look for wounded. Dr. Smith took the lead through the timber and proceeded in a northwesterly direction until we reached a large} confederate emergency hospital/close by a big spring. ' "Receiving information that most of; the wounded of the last part of the battle were being attended to near the*' creek, we set out in that direction and were soon in the road crossing over Bloody hill. The position of the dead on both sides of our path showed how terrible the struggle had been. On each side of the road were dead soldiers, the gray on one side and the/ blue on the other. After going a short time we otarted to count and, as wo did not wish to go back, we estimated! that there were 300 or 400 on both' sides of the path. "Upon dismounting at the hospital the first and only person that I recog* nized was the long hatred Col. Em* met McDonald, a young lawyer of 8 t Louis, one of the most outspoken secessionists.

The average dweller in New York, who could hardly locate Gevaudan with an atlas; will I think, be found skeptically dissenting. He will cite, rather, the comfortable state of one who takes his steaming dinner at a good hostelry. Let the table be set snugly by a window, let toe night be dark and rainy, let one warm and hungry look out at the splashing street, the bedrabbled passers, the huddled cabmen turning their glistening backs to the wind.

I went t<Pf<he door and the porter took me under his umbrella to the carriage.

Randolph Mason nodded his head slightly, as though in assent of some trivial statement and in invitation to proceed to other matters more important The Invalid continued: "Within the last day or two, I have been going carefully over my affairs under a sense of impending death. In one matter I conceived myself to have made a mistake, and I wish to correct it, if possible.

The sick man spread out a checkbook before him on the table, carefully and laboriously made out a check and handed it to Randolph Mason, who looked at it sharply for a moment, then laid it down on the other papers. "That will do," he said. "Take up your note tomorrow with this check, have the mortgage cancelled and rel e a s e d , j ^ ^ ^ j o u r wife to sell this hou8e^B^B^B^B^HHsMttMMBM&£- pet on curse.

The sick man turned painfully in his chair, put his elbows on the table, propped up his heavy, putty-colored face in his swollen,hands and read the paper. Again and again he read it. When he looked up finally his face glowed. "I see it," he said, as though speaking to himself, "I see it." Then he sat for a considerable time, holding the paper in his fingers, his mind intent on this new aspect of the case. At length he turned back to the table, laboriously copied the ^i/**ejg it in an envelope, ad check. He read them carefully, the* he laughed.

D Y MANAGEMENT OF SANDY SOILS B y J . AIKJEFEERY, Professor of Soils M i c h i g a n Agricultural College. After sandy land, such as is found In western and northern Michigan, has been brought under cultivation, great care must still be exercised in its management. The cropping value of these soils will depend more than anything else upon the incorporation and retention of organic matter. To this end: a careful rotation of crops should be adopted. It should be simple and short, something like this: (1) Clover, one or two years, plowing under as much of the aftergrowth as is possible when preparing for the succeeding crop; (2) a cultivated crop—potatoes, corn or possibly beans, and (3) grain of some kind, seeding iigain to clover with grain. This is not "the on'y rotation that could be followed, but the important thing is to introduce clover into the rotation as frequently as possible..No grain or cultivated crop should be planted twice in succession. Th& plowing should be ehallow, probably n W e r to exceed five inches, and this with a view to 'keeping the organic matter as near the surface as possible, where it will accomplish the most good, particularly in protecting the coils from the ravages of the winds. It is good practice not to use the plow too frequently. Many farmers use the plow only in breaking the clover sod. The disc harrow is used at all other times in preparing soil for crops. When cultivated crops occupy the land, the cultivation should be frequent and shallow. Only those-who have practiced persistent shallow cultivation can appreciate the importance of thus stirring the soil in preserving the moisture and insuring profitable crops. Use "catch" crops where possible. If a regular crop has been removed fairly early in the fall and the succeeding crop is not to be planted the following spring, it is always worth while to seed the land t o oats or rye or vetch. Frequently it will be found desfrable and profitable just before the last cultivation of the corn to seed the corn field t o winter vetch seed at the rate of 30 pounds per acre. The field may be seeded to oats or rye instead. The benefits to be de^ rived from the catch crop are at least three: 1. In the fall and early spring soil is protected from the winds. 2. During the winter these crops catch and retain the snow upon the ground, from which fact the soil benef i t s not only from the blanket of snow during the winter, but, also, from the melting of the snow in place in the spring. 3. The discing in of the crop in the spring adds to the soil organic matter, and in the case of vetch, nitrogen as well. Green Manuring. Green manuring'is the practice of growing a crop to plow under before It matures. This is done to increase the amount of organic matter in the £011. Different crops are used for this purpose. Rye is perhaps the most commonly used, and probably chiefly because it can be planted in the fall and makes a considerable growth before the growing season closes. It takes up the growing again early in spring and continues until the farmer is ready to plow it under. It is sown at the rate of one and one-half busheb to two bushels per acre. Of the spring grown crops oats or rye are#frequently used, and are sown at the regular rates of seeding. Sometimes Indian corn is sown at the rate of one bushel to one and onehalf bushels per acre for this purpose. It may be sown in drills or broad- C P u °nd peas are sometimes used, frown ^ the rate of one busheVof oats to two bushels of peas to the acre. Sand vetch is also used, the seeding being at the rate of 30 to 50 pounds per acre. The seeding in all cases is done as early as conditions of soil and air are suitable for the planting of the crop. The sand, hairy or winter vetch sterns to be rapidly growing in favor, both as a catch crop plant and as a green manuring plant. Its value rests upon three things, viz: 1. Because of the size of the seed it may be planted as * deep . as two inches, thus increasing its chances for moisture supply, and thus insuring germination. The clovers and alfalfa frequently suffer because- they may not be planted deep enough to insure moisture and anchorage to preserve the plant from blowing away. 2. The plant makes a very rapid and vigorous growth, producing a large amount of material to plow under 6r disc In. 4 3. It is much more valuable than the grains for this purpose because of the amount of nitrogen which it gathers during its growth and leaves for the use of future crops. On the Mjami sandy soils of southern Michigan the cow pea is being; much used as a green manuring crop. Peas arc sown at the rate of 3 pecks per acre, about the first week in June, and the crop is plowed under from the first to the middle of September. When wheat is sown after cow peas thus plowed under, the yields of wheat are greatly'Increased; and when clover Is seeded with the wheat the following spring, it seldom fails to make an excellent catch. WEED CONTROL IN > U T | J M N ,, By H. J . B A L D W I N , # 'Michigan Agricultural College. •^^^oi^the.cro^Is removed, from-new seedings and stubble lands, the weeds which have been Kept in check by the growing crop are apt to spring up and make a sufficient growth to produce a crop of seed and crowd the thin seedlngs of grass and clover. The number and variety of such weeds will depend upon the locality and the care exercised in the operation of the farm. Ragweed, pigweed, foxtails and Canada thistles are among the most common kinds found. Such weeds can be prevented from seeding to a great extent, by clipping with the cutter bar of the mower tilted high so as to leave the new seedlngs. It is objectionable to attempt to control weeds or new seedlngs with sheep for the reason that sheep are almost sure to eat the tender seedlings and leave the coarser weeds. The practice of clipping with a mower has been used by the Michigan Agricultural college farm, where a constant warfare must be kept up against weeds which are continually being introduced in the purchase of hay, straw and grain fer feeding. Perhaps the most persistent fall weed and the one that is most conspicuous during August and September along roadsides, ditches and grain fields, is the ragweed (shown in illustration) . Its ragged, rank growth and long lived seeds makes it an especially bad weed. Its tall green tassel which contains such an abundance of yellow pollen is said to be the cause of hay fever. Careful farming With clean cultivation crops, such as beans and corn, is the most effective system of holding this weed in check. Care of Stallions. A stallion shut up in a dark stall without the companionship of other .horses often becomes moody and savage. Some English stallioners ride a 1 pony while leading their horses for exercise, and the horses become so attached to these ponies that they become fretful and uneasy when they are not near. At night the ponies are given a stall next to the horses. Of course, some horses are too savage in nature to permit their being led in company with a pony, but if broken to this treatment when young, stallions can be handled In this way. Fall Sown Clover. Even last year there was good success with fall-sown clover and the season was none too favorable. There are a great many enemies to spring; sown clover, weeds, grasses and too thick stands of grain, which fall seeding escapes. When a spring seeding has been scorched out after removal of the grain crop, the land should at once be disked and reseed the clover on a finfi. seed bed with a firm subsoil. Even if It is very dry the chances are there will come enough fall rain for the clover. It Is a usual practice in the spring to have what is called a "cleaning-up day." There are some thing, however, which ought to be cleaned up in the fall, such as weeds which have been missed and are waiting to scatter their seeds far and wide on the snow in winter, 'and limbs in the orchards which will invite rabbits to live there and nibble the fresh bark of young trees. The amount of money invested in farm machinery on the average Michigan farm is nearly as great as the money invested in a barn. The barn is always insured against fire, but the machinery is never insured against rust unless a good shed has been made for it. Some machines ought never to be rained on and if the shed is handy they can be run in instead of being left in the field"at night. Some protection should be placed around young trees In the fall to prevent girdling by mica and rabbits during winter. , Wire screen, tar paper, etc., are used for this purpose and often aave whole orchards even where these pest* were not thought to bo numerous, EXHAUSTION .. T H E , SOIL. Prof. E. H . Farrington of Wisconsin Agricultural College,; i n Sneaking of Soil Exhaustion, made # v<|y interesting statement regarcjfng th(| selling of dairy products f r o i B ^ e farm as compared with selling the grain productions directly off the farm. Here is what he says: '"There is a great difference in the amount of soil} fertility removed from the farm by selling crops as compared with the selling of cream and butter. The constituents of the soil that become most easily exhausted by farming operations are the nitrogen, the phosphoric acid and the potash^ These each have a market value per pound and can be bought In commercial fertilizers. They are also contained in farm manure. "An analysis of different crops and of miffc, butter and cheese will show how much of these various constituents are removed from the farm when a certain quantity of these products are sold. For instance, by using the same prices per pound for the following crops, etc., we find that the fertilizing constituents taken from the soil when one ton of hay is sold from the farm have a value of $4 34, one ton of corn $5.36, one ton of wheat $6.63, one ton of milk $2.17, one ton of skimmilk $2.31, one ton of butter 49 cents, one ton of whey 84 cents, and one ton of cheese $14.19. The--value of each ton of these different products Is weH known.' For instance, the ton of hay may be sold for $20.00, while the ton of butter is worth $G00.00 and a ton of cheese $200.00. These figures show, however, that if the crops raised on the farm are fed to the cows and either cream or butter only is sold, then for every $600.00 worth of butter only 50 cents worth of fertility is drawn from the farm." In encouraging the farmers to engage i n dairyings Prof. Farrington says: "Dairying keeps up the fertility of the soil as already explained. „ "Skimmilk is very valuable to the farmer not only for the reasons given, but because it la profitable for a farmer to become a stock raiser—that is, raise calves, pig?, poultry, etc., rather than a crop producer and a seller of grain. "Dairy products, butter and cheese, are not bulky to market, ^being much | more concentrated and the cost of transportation less than it is for hay, grain, etc. "Dairying utilizer, waste land, such as stony pastures, timber and swamp land, which may be used for pasturing the cows if these are kept, but which otherwise would give no returns. "Dairying gives 1 profitable employment during the entire year and idleness is not good for either man or beast." A visit to the National Dairy Show at Chicago, October 24th to November 2nd next, will give every one a short course in dairying that cannot be equalled anywhere in the world, and all such mattery as hore discussed by Prof. Farrington will be Illustrated by the world's experts in every branch of the dairy industry. Opportunities to view the best representatives on American soil of the leading dairy cattle, and meet the men who are devoting their lives to the advancement of the dairy industry is here afforded. Everything will be shown in a big, broad, educational way tnat all may be enabled to keep abreast of the most modern methods in appliances and tho tfest results in breeding and .feeding dairy cattle, and preparing for'market and the marketing of all dairy products.

During a recent curling-match in Switzerland, the skip of one of the teams, who happened to be a Scotsman, was so delighted with the accurate shot of one of his team, that he was heard to address him in the following manner: "Lie down and dee, mon; lie down and dee. Ye'll never lay a finer stane nor that if ye live to be a hundred." Potteries P r o s p e r i n g .

"The average woman now begins that study of society which will merge ultimately with the marriage campaign. She makes many discoveries which she admits frankly to herself. She comes to many conclusions," says Inez Haynes Gillmore in Harper's Bazar, "which sink unnoticed into her subconscious mind. If marriage, for Instance, is her natural career, then men are her natural prey. "But unfortunately there are never enough men in her world to go round; and of those from whom sho may hope to choose some are much morfe desirable than others. Naturally she prefers the desirable ones—i. e., the 'eligibles.' But—and here she runs against her first obstacle—every other single woman in her circle has come to the some conclusion. From the instant she realizes this she must declare war on every other member of hef sex. "Men must often wonder at that minute and merciless examination to which, on a first meeting, every woman submits every other woman. Men must often marvel at the power of quick observation which women always develop 'in these circumstances. This is only the swift interrogation with which a warrior sutveys the arms of his opponent, / ( w o m e n are forever discovering new and- complex weapons in the possession of rivals. And, perhaps, the most terrifying element in the situation is psychological—her sense of bafflement, in that she cannot judge of women for men any more than they can judge of men for her. Every other woman becomes her enemy. To succeed in her world she must play alone hand andTarcut-throat game."

A man says: "Until two years ago waffles and butter with meat and gravy were the main features of my breakfast. Finally dyspepsia came on and I found myself ln a bad condition, worse in the morning than any other time. I would have a full, sick feeling in my stomach,, with pains in my heart, sides and. head. "At times I would have no appetite, for days, then I would feel ravenous, never satisfied when I did eat and so nervous I felt like shrieking at the top of my voice. I lost flesh badly and hardly knew which way to turn* until one day I bought a box of Grape-Nuts food to see if I could eat that. 1 tried it without telling the doctor, and liked it fine; made me feel as if I had some* thing to eat that was satisfying and still I didn't have that heaviness that. I had felt after eating any other food. "I hadn't drank any coffee then in five weeks.

Armstrong confronted Newbold therefore, lustful of battles; he yearned to leap upon him, his fingers, itched to grasp him, then tre'nibled slightly as he rubbed them nervously against his thumbs; Lis face protruded a little, his eyes narrowed, fc "My name is Armstrong," he said, determined to precipitate the issue without further delay and flinging the words at the other in a tone of hectoring defiance which, however strange to say, did not seem to effect ^NewTrold in any perceptible degree. The name was an illumination to him, though not a t all in the way toe speaker had fancied; the recollectibn of it was the one fact concerning her that rankled in the solitary's mind. He had often wanted to ask. Enid Maitland what she had meant b y that chance allusion t o Armstrong which she had made in the beginning of their acquaintance, but he had refrained. At first h e had no right to question her; there could be no natural end to their affections; and latterly when their hearts had been disclosed to each other i n the w i l d , tempestuous, passionate scenes of the last two o r three days, he had had things of greater moment to engage his attention, subjects of more importance t o discuss with her. He had for the time being forgotten Armstrong and he Nhad not before known what, jealousy was until he had entered that room. To have seen her M with any man would have given him acute pain, perhaps just because he had been so long withdrawn from human society, but to see her with this man who flashed instantly into his recollection upon the utterance of his name was an added exasperation. Newbold turned to the woman to whom indeed he had addressed his question ln the first place, and there was something in his movement which bespoke a galling almost contemptuous obliviousness to the presence of the other man which was indeed hard for > & him to bear. Hate begets, hate. He waa quite conscious of Armstrong's antagonism, which waa entirely undisguised and open and which was growing greater with every passing moment. The score against Newbold was running up in the mind of hie visitor. "Ah," coolly said the owner of tne cabin to the first of his two guests, M I do remember you did mention that name the first day you spent here. Is he a—a friend of yours?" "Not now," answered Enid Maitland, She too was in a strange Btate of perturbation on account of the dilemma in which she found herself involved. She was determined not to betray the unconscious confidence of the dead. She hoped fervently that NewbQld wquld not recognise Armstrong as the man of tbe locket, but If be did Bhe was resolute that he should not also be recognized as tbe man of the letters, at least not by her a c t Newbold was ignorant of the existence of those letters and she did not intend that he should be enlightened so far as she could prevent i t But she was keen enough to see that the tot recognition would be inevitable; she even admitted the fact that Armstrong would probably precipitate it himself. Well, no human soul, not even their writer, knew that she had destroyed them, she had determined to do so at the first convenient opportunity. Before that, however, she intended to show them not to Newbold but to Armstrong, to disclose his perfidy, to convict him of the falsehood he had told her and to justify herself even in his eyes for the action she had taken. Mingled with all theBe quick reflections was a deadly fear. S&e was quick to perceive the hatred Armstrong bore on the one hand because of the old love affair, the long cherished grudge breaking into sudden life; on the other she realized that her own failure to come to Armstrong's hands and her love for Newbold, which she neither could nor had any desire to conceal, and the cumulation of these passionate antagonisms not in deed. Nothing could wrest that secret from her. She had been infected by Newbold's quixotic ideas, the contagion of his perversion of common sense had fastened itself upon her. She would not have been human either if she had not experienced a thrill of pride and joy at the possibility that in some way, of which she yet swore she would not be the instrument blind or otherwise*, the facts might be disclosed which would enable Newbold to claim her openly and honorably .without hesitation before or remorse after, as his wife. This fascinating flash of expectant, hopeful feeling she thought unworthy of her and strove to fight it down, but with manifest impossibility. It has taken time to set t^ese things down; to speak or to writers a slow process, and the ratio between outward expressions and inward is as great as that between light and sound. Questions and answers, between these three followed as swiftly as thrust and parry between accomplished swordsmen, and "I did not think after that kiss in the road tbat you would go back on me this way, Enid," he said quickly. "The kiss in the road," cried Newbold staring again at the woman. 'Tou coward," repeated she, with one swift envenomed glance at the other man, and then she turned to her lover. She laid her hand upon his arm, she lifted her face up to him. "As God is my judge," she cried, her voice rising with the tragic intensity of the moment and thrilling with indignant protest, "he took it from me like the thief and the coward he was and he tells it now like the liar he is. We were riding side by side, I was utterly unsuspicious, I thought him a gentleman, he caught me and kissed me before I knew It. I drove him from me. That's all." "I believe you," said Newbold gently, and then for the first time, he addressed himself to Armstrong. "You came doubtless to rescue Miss Maitland, and in so far your purpose was admirable and you deserve thanks and respect, but no further. This is my cabin, your words and your conduct render you unwelcome here, Miss Maitland is under my protection; if you will come outside I will be glad to talk with you further." "Under your protection?" sneered Armstrong beside himself. "After a month with you alone 1 lake it she needs no further protection." Newbold did not leap upon the man for that mordant insult^to the woman; his approach was slow, relentless, terrible. Eight or ten feet separated them. Armstrong met him half way, his impetuosity was greater, he sprang forward, turned about, faced the full light from the narrow window. "Well," he cried, "have you got anything to say or do about it?" But Newbold had stopped, appalled. He stood staring as if petrified.; recognition, recollection rushed over him. NQW and at last he knew tho man. The faco fefcat confronted him was the same face that had stared out at him from the locket he had taken from the brui3ed breast of his dead wife, which "You both misjudge me," was tbe answer. "I shall take no advantage of this man. I would disdain to do so If it were necessary, but before tbe last resort I must have Bpeech with him, and this is the only way ln which I can keep him quiet for a moment, if aa I suspect, his hate measures with mine." "You have the advantage," protested Armstrong. "Say your say and get It over with. I've waited all these years for a chance to kill you and my patience is exhausted." Still keeping the other covered, Newbold stepped over to the table pulled out the drawer and drew from it the locket. Enid remembered she had hastily thrust it there when he had handed it to her, and there it had lain unnoted and forgotten. It w a s quite evident to her what was toward now. Newbold had recognized the other man, explanations w e r e Inevitable. With his left hand Newbold sought the catch of the locket and pressed the spring. In two Bteps he f a c e d Armstrong with the open locket thrust toward him." "Your picture?" he asked. "Mine!" "Do you know the locket?" "I gave it to a woman named Louise Rosser five or six years ago." "My wife." "Yes, she was crazy in love with me, but—" With diabolic malice Armstrong left the sentence uncompleted. The infers OR.ee he meant should be drawn^from his reticence was obvious. "I took It from her dead body," gritted out Newbold. "She was beside herself with love for me; an old unfair, you know." said Armstrong more explicitly, thinking to use a spear with a double barb to pierce the woman's and the man's heart alike. That he defamed th» dead was of no moment then. "She wanted to leave you," he ran on glibly. "She wanted me to take her back and—" "Untrue," burst forth from Enid Maitland's lips. "A slanderous, dastardly, cowardly untruth." "Your Picture?" He Asked. ,would only make him the more desperate. Whether Newbold found out Armstrong ^connection with his past love, there was^sunlcient provocation in the present to^ evoke all the oppugnation and resentment of his nature. Enid felt as she might if the puncheons of the floor had been sticks of dynamite with active detonations in every heel that pressed them; as if the slightest movement on the part of any one would bring about an explosion. The tensity of the situation was bewildering to her. It had come upon her with such startling force; the unexpected arrival of. Armstrong, of all the men on earth the one who ought not to be there, and then the equally startling arrival of Newbold, of whom perhaps the same might have been said. If Newbold had only gone on, if he had not come back, if she had been rescued by her uncle or old Kirkby— But "ifs" were idle, she had to faco the present situation to which she was utterly unequal. She had entirely repudiated Armstrong, tbat was one sure point; she knew how guilty he had been toward Newbold's wife, that was another; she realized how he hart deceived her, that was the third. These eliminated the man from her affections, but it Is one thing to thrust a man out of your heart and another to thrust him out of your life; he was still 4here. And by no means the sport of blind fate Armstrong Intended to have something to say as to the course of events, to use his own powers to determine the issue. Of but one thing beside her hatred for Armstrong was Enid Maitland absolutely certain; she would never discloso to tho man she loved the fact that tho woman, the memory of whose supposed passion he cherished, had been unfaithful to him in heart if yet between each demand and reply they had time to entertain these swift thoughts—as the drowning compass life experiences in,seconds! "I may not be her friend," said Armstrong steadily, "but she left me in these mountains a month, ago with more than a half way promise to marry me, and I have sought her through the snows to claim the fulfillment." i "You never told me that," exclaimed Newbold sternly and again addressing the woman rather than the man. •There was nothing to tell/' she answered quickly. "I was a young girl, heart free; I liked this man, perhaps because he was so different from those to whom I had been accustomed, and when he pressed his suit upon me, I told him the truth. I did not love him, I did not know whether 1 might grow to care for him or not; if I did, I should marry him and if I did not no power on earth could make me. And now—I hate him!" She flung the words at him savagely. Armstrong was beside himself»with fury at her words, and Newbold's cool indifference to him personally was unendurable. In battle such as be waged he had the mistaken idea that anything was fair. He could not really tell whether it was love of woman or hate of man that waa most dominant; he saw at once the state of affairs between the two. He could hurt tho man and the woman with one statement; what might be its ulterior effect he did not stop to consider, per&ap* if he had he would not then have cared greatly. He realized any way that since Newbold's arrival his cliance with Enid was gone; perhaps whether Newbold were alive or dead ft was gone forever; although Armstrong did not think that he was not capable of thinking very far i^to *the future'in his then condition, tho present bulked too large for that Sank His Fingers Around the Other's Throat had been a mystery to him for all these years. "Well," tauntingly asked Armstrong again, "what are you waiting for, are you afraid?" From Newbold's belt depended a holster and a heavy revolver. As Armstrong made to attack him be flashed It out with astonishing quickness and presented It. The newcomer was unarmed— his Winchester leaned against the wall by his fur coat and be bad no pistol. "If you move a step forward or backward," said Newbold with deadly calm, "I will ':ill you without mercy." "So you'd take advantage of a weaponless man, would you?" sneered Armstrong. "Oh, for God's sake," cried the woman, "don't kill him." But the man paid no attention to her in their excitement; perhaps they did not even hear her. Newbold thrust his pistol violently forward. "Would you murder mo as you murdered the woman?" gibed Armstrong in bitter taunt. Then Enid Maitland found it in her heart to urge Newbold to kill him where he stood, but she had no time if she could have carried out her design, for Newbold flung the weapon from him and the, next moment the two men leaped upon each other, straining, struggling, daring, battling like savage beast*;, each seeking to clasp his fingers around the throat of the other and then twist and crush until life was gone. Saying nothing, .fighting in a grim silence that was terrible, they reeled crashing about the little room. No two men on earth could have been bet/ ter matched, yet Newbold had a slight advantage in height and strength, as bo had also the advantage ln simple l\fm and splendid condition. Armstrong's hate and fierce temper counterbalanced these at first, and with arms toc&ed and le%s twined, with teeth clenched and eyes blinded and pulses throbbing and hearts beating, they strove together. The girl shrank back against the wait and stared frightened. She feared for her lover, she feared for herself. Strange primitive feelings throbbed in her veins. It was an old situation, when two male animals fought for supremacy and the ownership of a fe» male, whose destiny was entirely removed from her own hands. Armstrong had shown himself in hia true colors at last. She would have nothing to hope from him if he waa the victor; and she even wondered in terror what might happen to her if the man she loved triumphed after the passions aroused in such a battle? She grew sick and giddy, her bosom rose and fell, her breath came fast *e she followed the panting, struggling, clinging grinding, figures about the room. At first there had been no advautage to either, but now after five minutes— or was It hours?—of fierce fighting, the strength and superior condition of her lover began to tell. He was forcing the other backward. Slowly, inch by inch, foot by Toot, step by step, he mastered him. The two interwining figures were broadside to her now, she could see their faces inflamed by the lust of the battle, engorged, blood red with hate and fury, but there was a look of exultation on one and the shadow of approaching disaster on the other. But the consciousness that he was being mastered ever so little only increased Armstrong's determination and he fougrft. back with the frenzy, the strength of a maddened gorilla, and again for a space the Issue was in doubt. But not for long. The table, a heavy cumbersome, four-legged affair, solid almost as a rock, stood In the way. Newbold at last backed Armstrong up against it and by superhuman effort bent him over It, held him with one arm and using the table as a support, wrenched bis left hand; free, and sunk his Augers around the other's throat. It was all up with Armstrong. It was only a question of time now. j "Now," NewboM guttered out hoarsely, "you slandered the dead woman I married, and you insulted the living one 1 love. Take back what you said before you die." "J forgive him," cried Enid Malt* /and. "Oh, for God's sake don't kill him before my eye3." Armstrong was past speech. Tho inveteracy of his hatred could be seen even In his fast glazing eyes, the Indo. mitableness of his purpose yot spoke In the negative shake of his head. Ho could dip, but he would die In his hate and in his purpose. Enid ran to the two. she grappled Newbold's arm with both her own and strove with all her might to tear it away from the other's throat-. Her lover paid no more attention to her than If a summer breeze had touched him. Armstrong grew black in the face, his limbs relaxed, another second or two it would have been over with him.

Indeed the latter was so far gone that he fell from tbe table to the floor unconscious* choking, almost dying. It was Enid Maitland who received his head in her arms and helped bring him back to life while the panting Newbold stood staring dully at the woman he loved and the man he hated on the floor at his feet (TO B E CONTINUED.)

FRANK CRANE. Chicago IT IS wonderful what you can do if you will only keep your chin up. This is a strange world, and one of the strangest things about it is the way it sympathizes with success. We are supposed to sympathize with failure and grie/, but we •don't. I am going to tell you the truth about this naughty world, and the truth is that whichever way you're going, up or down, people want to help you along. If you are going up we all want to boost; if you are going down we all want to push. That is what we call sympathy. You hear complaints that the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer. That has always been the case, simply because it is human nature. Society has always been organized to increase the wealth of the wealthy and the power of the powerful; also to make the weak weaker. There's no use whining about it. It is simply one of the flinty laws of nature. The only thing to do with nature's laws is to adjust oneself to them and not complain. This might be called the law of the inertia of prosperity. You are guilty yourself. Whom do you want to see? The man everybody wants to see. And you read the book everybody's reading and go.to the store where it is "the thing" to go. "Follow the crowds," says the advertiser, with the shrewd knowledge of our makeup. If you have a hundred dollars ahead to whom do you want to hand it? To the poor man who needs it? Not at all, but to the rich banker who doesn't need it \ If J ask you for the loan of a quarter you will pass it over to me without a word if you think it is)a trifling matter to me; but if you suspect I really am in want and need the quarter to buy a little food with, that's quite another affair; you can't encourage that sort of thing; I should go to the Associated Charities. Now, the way to use this law is to feign prosperity even if you have it not. Keep your chin up. Wear good clothes. Don't withdraw from the society of the prosperous. Look pleasant. Don't let yourself get down at the heel. Don't get that poor beggar look on your face. It isn't hypocrisy. It isn't pretense. It is sheer courage. It is letting the world know that while you live you propose to fight, and that like old General Taylor you "don't know when you're licked." Keep smiling and an unfriendly universe will not know what to do with you; so it will crown you. Says Alfred de Vigny: "All those that struggle against the unjust heavens have had the admiration and secret love of men." Fate is a bluff. Face her, defy her, and she will fawn on you. Fate is cruel, but only to the quitter. P r o b l e m o f t h e i s t h e G r e a t e s t By Janes P. Barn eft, Atlanta, Oi. The greatest problem which confronts the economists and theasocial workers of America today is the problem of the city. Every year the population of the cities is increasing and thai of the counties £-*%.A • diminishing. Man are deserting the x ^ i l i y I S country in droves to come into the city They are leaving the green fields for the dirty highways, the clear atmosphere for the pollution of the city, and with every new recruit the problem of handling them and the vice which grows among t\em becomes more difficult and more intricate. Men are casting about for reform, and they don't know where to begin, BO vast and BO deep is the problem. Figures compiled each year show that the denser the population, the greater the death rate?—in other words, the closer men live together, the quicker they die. In a certain English city, to prove that congested dwelling-places caused death, a certain area in the slums was demolished and modern, sanitary tenements erected in their place. The death rate sank something like 75 per cent, as a result. And yet the hordes of men crowd into the city, and conditions grow more congested, crime gains a new impetus and death increases at a horrible rate. Understand me, I do not mean that every new recruit into the city means that that person is evil and that crime increases as a direct result The point is that wherever conditions are congested and where poverty reignB crime increases, as figures have proved, and poverty is one of the most prolific sources of crime. The problem of the city is a hydra-headed one, and sociologists are beginning to realise that,-while it demands instant attention, they dc not know how to cope with it. L e t B a c h e l o r let H i s L o n e l y M i s e r y I cannot see the advisability of tagging a man because he is a bachelor. In the first place, it is cruel, to any the least. Just because a fellow has been so unfortunate as to be left outside of matrimony's hospitable • m _m . WW* gates there is no reason why we should ML O r g e t H l S throw it up to him. There are very few men who have not met at least one girl whom they would like to marry, and that they have failed to qualify up to the^lady's requirements is no sound reason for unseemly mirth and merriment from the world at large. Did you ever get turned down? Then yon know what a delightful sensation it ia. How would you like to have that hideous experience, which has caused you much inward anguish, to say nothing of humiliation, blared abroad to an unsympathetic public ? How would you like having to wear a button or a badge boldly displayed on your coat lapel signifying that you belong to the great wandering family of Turned Downs? It wouldn't set well, would it? So I declare, m the cause of common courtesy, !that it wouldn't be fair to tag the bachelor. Let him forget his lonely misery if he can. Don't doom him to remember his troubles every time he puts on his COftt* Let him alone and maybe some day when nobody's paying much attention to him he may manage to slip through the big gates. You never can toll. COLLEGE-BRED RAFFLES TELLS HOW HE WAS LED TO BECOME A CRIMINAL HEREWITH is an amazing true story of crime. A College-bred man of excellent family deliberately turns burglar, in six months he plunders the homes of the rich ef a quarter of a million dollars' worth of art treasures, jewels and silverware, without seeking to dispose of any of it. Apparently his theories about successful burglar* are correct, but he takes to forgery and is trapped. Jacob Foy Guthrie, whose confession In his own words follows, is twenty-six. He has ilved ail his life at 1613 Prairie avenue, Chicago, with his mother and sister. He was graduated from Wendell Phillips high school there and in 1909 he received his degree from Armour institute. Then he took a special course In electrical engineering and had fine positions with the Commonwealth Edison company, as assistant chemist in the city laboratory, and as Instructor in electrical science at the Lane Technical school. There he made hit own jimmy and skeleton keys to take up his chosen work—burglary along scientific lines. He announced that he was retiHng from active work to study. This was true; he was studying—crime. Lombroso became his chief mentor. "A watchman with a drawn revolver surprised me In the Durand home. I drew my own weapon and grappled with him, forcing him to drop hia revolver before he could use It." By JACOB FOY GUTHRIE, B. 3. 1B E C A M E a Raffles because It was so easy. I took up a criminal career because everything I had read on the subject indicated that it was a field of untold opportunity. It appealed to me particularly because it seemed to open up a quiet, refined life which assured excellent financial returns. . I believe that crime could be placed on the same stable basis as hundreds of so-called reputable kinds of business, if operated and controlled by persons of high intelligence. Summing up briefly, I became a burglar of the rich because it was the simplest way in which I could pursue a harmless, fascinating occupation in congenial surroundings, assuring myself a liberal income and still leaving me time to continue my studies. Crime has always interested me. At first the interest was purely psychological. But the more I read, the more logical burglary seemed to me. One point was forced upon me time and time again—how easy it all was! I read Lombroso, and his works filled me with delight. His "Criminal Woman" and "Degenerate Man" were fascinating studies of strange phases of life. But, somehow, though I felt that Lombroso's conclusions were fairly correct, his treatment of the cases was sometimes faulty. Lombroso was a student of criminals rather than of criminology. He searched into their very souls behind the bars. But that was where he knew criminals—behind the bars! He didn't study them at their work, fired with the enthusiasm for it and keen for the results! A l l he knew was the caught criminal. And there is such a difference! AM Crime Interesting. But Lombroso's works fired my Im^ agination and when I had finished them I turned to other stories of crime. For a long time 1 read nothing but them. Some were good; some bad. But all were interesting. Edgar Allan Poe was one of my favorites. What a master he was in stories of crime! How clearly I remember 4 The Milk White Eye!" How I enjoyed "Raffles"—and how simply and logically he got away with everything he did. There was no reason why he shouldn't as long as he gave his attention to his business. It is side lines that spell failure. My library is lined with books. I have thousands of them—the best that ever were written. One whole corner ls given up to the well-known poets. As a boy I devoured poetry and Browning was my ideal. "Evelyn Hope" I consider his masterpiece. But it was Tennyson I loved. "In Meroriam" I may say I worship, if one worships that which appears on the printed page. Tennyson's power of spiritual expression, to my mind, has never been equaled since Shakespeare lived. But Tennyson was forgotten when I found Lombroso. Only temporarily, to be sure; but, though I felt I could elevate the standard of burglary beyond all low and common means, I didn't attempt to put any "spiritual expression** Into it. So when I planned my entrance Into a career of crime; it was Lombroso I used as a guide. To bis Investigations, I, added my own theories. For weeks and months I thought and studied crime almost night and day. I was planning to be a.criminal, but I was going to make crime an art. Law-Breaking s Scientific Study. My Idea was that a cultured man, one of Intellectual capabilities and attainments, could easily and successfully follow out a carefully, planned criminal procedure that would completely frustrate the efforts of the socalled sleuths. I also believed that tbe profession could be made financially profitable and that nine-tenths of the risks could be eliminated. So I made crime a scientific study, with the purpose of establishing myself in a newer and broader career than any ever attempted. I saw no reason why I should not apply it to that peculiar form of labor, if you will, which has hitherto lacked its assistance. When my final resolution was made I determine^ to take whatever risks there might ^ e , I laid down certain rules to follow that I hoped might eliminate unpleasant contingencies. First, I determined to direct my energies, my education and whatever talent I might possess against people of my own station in life. By this I mean in intelligence and breeding as well as wealth. I had no desire to win great wealth In my new career, as my family has considerable money, although it belongs to my mother. My principal idea was to experiment upon those who were able to defend themselves— to demonstrate my theories through persons who would not suffer seriously by my success. My second resolution was to refrain from all violence. I had no idea of sacrificing my life fooliBhly to a theory. The law of self-preservation is one that even scientific study is unable to set aside. But I wanted no robbery of mine to end in murder. To make such a thing impossible, I laid my plans with extreme care and selected the time and place with unusual solicitude on that point. Frequently I accomplished my robberies without carrying any weapons. When I started out on my career of burglary" in February, I decided to loot the homes o f m y wealthy neighbors. Many of tbeiSTiknew quite well; others only by sight, and some by name or reputation. While that perhaps was a natural beginning, it was ln a certain way a safe one. Few of my Intended victims knew much about me, but most of them knew I bore a good reputation. Made List of Intended Victims. When I decided to broaden my activities, I prepared a new list of wealthy citizens. I made it up from the Blue Book of Chicago, the reports of the board of tax reviewers and the society columns of the daily papers. Being on my list was conclusive evidence of wealth. A l l of them were millionaires and many of them multimillionaires. I watched for the announcement of their going abroad or away and closing their homes. I thought that a good time to commit my burglaries, as a private watchman or perhaps a servant or two was the only person to hinder me. Often there was no one. Things went so well I grew more ambitious. I cut down my list. I raised the financial entrance requirements. I wanted nothing but the homes of the wealthiest in which to prove my theories. I loved to roam through the beautiful rooms and at my leisure to pick out the rare art treasures that appealed to my educated taste. Then there were paintings to pass upon in the weird light of the closed houses and jewels to be had for the opening of a drawer or the raising of a lid. I had learned in everything I read how easy crime is. The stories are true. It is the easiest thing in the world. A criminal gets caught because he grt /s careless—because he becomes reckless. In my own short experience I went through both those phases. The way was so easy I soon lost my sense of fear of being discovered. Then I began to long for hazardous exploits. I wanted to rob a house that had every safeguard, with all the odds against me. I wanted to prove my talent to myself. Not Often In Danger. I had only a few scares. A watchman with a drawn revolver surprised me in the Durand home. I drew my own weapon and grappled with him, forcing him to drop his revolver before he could use it. Then I fired in the air to frighten him. He was so scared be couldn't move. He watched me pick up his revolver and empty it of all its shells before 1 returned it to him. Then he watched me leave the building without daring to stop me. That experience taught me one thing, and that is that the learned man and the ignorant one alike resort to primal instincts when it comes to selfpreservation. One of my most narrow escapes was when I was leaving the Allerton residence at No. 1918 Prairie avenue. I had Just stepped through a rear window when I heard the watchman. I barely bad time to conceal myself behind the stairway. He was so near I thought he must hear me breathing. But be passed on without ha) >ing and went away. It was not luck that was with me; it was science. And If I had only stuck to It, I could be out with a Jimmy and a dark lantern now, getting more plunder. For what purpose did I make no effort to realize any money on those nine trunks crammed with diamonds and precious stones, gold and silver ornaments, silks and satins and laces, silverware, antiques and trinkets? Just to prove how easy it is to be a Raffles; just to demonstrate what an education is worth In every walk of life; just to show what applied science can accomplish. So I have proved that my original ideas are sound. The plan has no false note. I met with disaster be* cause I allowed impulse to rule instead of reason. But my views on that phase of crime are unassailable. My point of view is the logical one. I failed because of my own folly. But I still maintain that my scientific burglary plan intelligently carried out is infallible. / T h e End of It All. Guthrie was caught while depositing a forged check at a bank. As he finished looting the home of Mrs. Ella Wilson, No. 4613 Drexel boulevard, and was leaving the house, he spied a large envelope sticking out of the mail box. He took it; within was the monthly statement of Mrs. Wilson's account with the Central Trust Company. There was a balance of thousands of dollars and a new check book was enclosed. Mrs. Wilson was in Japan. Guthrie made use of the new tools which had so strangely fallen Into his hands—to his undoing. And now he is in a Chicago prison. GUNPOWDER A CROP-RAISER Recognized Instrument of Destruction Made a Factor in Progress of Humanity. We have long heard of beating plowshares into swords, but here ls a case where, to use a figure of speech, the reverse has happened. We refer to the experiments made this summer at Fort Meyer and the Indian Head Proving grounds. Some hundreds of tons of gunpowder had been condemned and was to be destroyed. Gunpowder is rich in jj^irojfen. A genius who knew this and knew also that nitrogen is a great nourisher of vegetable life suggested that the powder, instead of being burned, be ploughed into the soil as a fertilizer. The thing was done. Bumper crops have been raised on the soil so treated. For about eight centuries now gunpowder has been raising ructions in the civilized world. Its first trick was to raise the pestle of the monk Schwarz through the celling of the cloister where he was grinding saltpetre and sulphur. And then, as Thomas Carlyle remarked, it raised all men to the same stature; the knight wearing an iron jacket and wielding a mace was pulled down to the height of every villain carrying an arquebus. One of the sad facts which come to mind is that ever since the discovery of gunpowder the human race has been kept rather busy raising its kind to become the fodder for cannon. We may well assume that a glimpse of the newer day has come when we find gunpowder made a peaceful agent for raising crops rather than one for raising tbe devil in general. 8ure Remedy. The editor of the correspondence columns had had a busy day—a very busy day indeed. So busy, in fact that he had to enlist the services of John, the office boy, to read out the correspondence. "What is the next query?" he asked, when he had gone half-way through the pile of letters. "Oh," said John, "a reader in South Africa wants to know how to prevent the hairs in his moustache from falling out. What have I to put down, sir?" "Well;* replied the editor, after a pause, "just put down, T b e best way to prevent hairs from falling out is to brush them lightly apart—and keep them from quarrelling.'" Merely a Matter of Tenses.

"Mrs. Martin, then a very youngr; woman, was on the field during both struggles constituting this battle, and terminating the defeat of the splendid army which Burgoyne had trans-' ported with such immense labor and expense from Canada, confidently anticipating that he would be able withit to divide the army of the patriots^ and secure Sir Henry Clinton in his* possession of the southern line of defenses. "Mrs. Martin represents the struggle as most terrific. She says that toward evening, when Burgoyne, maddened by the consciousness that alt his splendid schemes were about to be defeated, directed his whole reserveand cavalry force upon the feeble army of the patriots, the contestants stood within half musket range of each other and poured ln their deadly volleys, while whole files on either ide fell in their tracks, and still neither gave one inch. "Toward evening Dr. Martin was wounded in the shoulder, and while his wife was ln the act of affixing a bandage she herself was wounded i n the hand. Says she: 'Gilbert sprang up like a chaffed lion.

Clode I had remained the night at Randolph Mason's house. It was very warm, and at daybreak Pietro opened all the doors and windows to invite in what little breeze there was. I was disturbed by this, and presently arose and toek a cold shower bath, after which Pietro brought me a Continental breakfast Berved on a tray. It was early then, doubtless not later than six o'clock, when I left my bedchamber. As I turned the landing of the stair, I noticed a man standing In the street door. He was a tall, slender young man, rather well dressed; the lower part of his face was bidden by a handkerchief, which he held pressed against his mouth; there were blood spots, widening on the handkerchief, and an unmistakable expression of fear was in the eyes. It was evident that he had met with some injury. I led him at once into the office and rang for Pietro. In a moment the latter was at the door, and I directed him to bring a bowl of. water as quickly as possible. So far, the injured man had not spoken, I doubted if he could speak, the wound being evidently in the mouth or throat. The moment he got into the room he lay down at full length on the floor, perfectly motionless, his head back, his eyes closed, still pressing the bloody handkerchief to his lips. When Pietro set the bowl of water on the floor beside him, he dipped the handkerchief into it, squeezed out the blood and returned the damp cloth to his mouth. I saw tho blood coming slowly from between his lips; it was very bright^-arterial blood, a little frothy. I turned to Pietro and directed him to call a surgeon. At the word the bleeding man shook his head and opened his eyes with an expression of protest This cefusal of medical attendance in one ao desperately hurt was to me highly significant; it subjected him instantly to suspicion. I determined to see If he could speak. "Do you want a physician?" I asked. He shook his head. "Are you badly hurt?" Again he replied with the same negative sign. "What is the matter with you then?" I purposely phrased the question so that a nodding would not answer it. " A ruby," he saiff thickly behind the handkerchief. The reply was unintelligible to me. It was doubtless some term current among criminals. I was now convinced that the man belonged to the criminal classes. He was certainly injured and he refused a surgeon—yet I could not leave him to die on the floor. In this quandary, I turned to find Randolph Mason standing behind me. "Pietro*" he said, "this man is having a hemorrhage. Leave him alone." Then he went back into the next room. Instantly the mystery cleared. The poor fellow was merely a consumptive, doing the only thing possible for a slight bleeding—to lie stretched out motionless. The hemorrhage had doubtless come on him in the street, and he had noticed our open door and come in. The flow of blood had now about ceased, and I went to my table to examine the morning's mail. Presently the man got up and sat down in a chair by my table. l*<a£Wae that Randolph Mason?" he •aldT "Yes," I replied. "I thought so," said the man. "I came to New York to see two great specialists, Dr. Ashby Clark and Randolph Mason." He tapped his breasjt with his finger. "Clark says no good. I wonder what Mason will say." "Yon were looking for his house, then?" "Yes; I was coming up the steps to ft when I got the 'ruby'." This he explained: "That's what we call the hemorrhage, the blood is so bright, you know—a technical term of the lunger'," "I thought you were a wounded burglar," I said. "If you wish to talk with Mr. Mason, you would better go in now while there is an opportunity." The man arose and went into the private office. I heard Mason direct him to be seated and order Pietro to give him a glass of whisky. "I came over to see you and Dr. Clark," began the visitor; "Clark, be- "cause I have consumption; you, because no man ever has simple consumption. He always has another trouble with it—-a bad heart that won't stand high altitudes, a wife who won't leave the home folks, or no funds. My fix is the latter. Clark says. I will last six months in an American climate; but if I will go at once to the Marquesas Islands, my lung will probably heal and I will hang on until some native pinks me with a flsh spear. / "I guess the place isn't eo bad; it's under the French and quite a garden of Eden, Clark says. But it is away off in the South Seas. It would take a thousand dollars to get there and a check arriving regularly every pay day to keep me going. I have read about the beach-combers on these Pacific islands—there's no hobo worse off. And no way to make a cent there. Copra is the only trade stuff, and the natives hare that. Everything fit for a white man to eat is tinned. You've got to buy it when the Bhip lands. You've got to be a government Johnny, a missionary or a native, otherwise you live on money from home or the French deport you for a convict. Thats Clark's garden of Eden. I got the facts at a tourist's joint uptown. So, there I am! I can't live if I don't go; I can't go; I can't live if I coula go! Nice, comfortable bunch of alternatives that! I had a little money, but a court down in West Virginia skinned me out of it. Now I haven't enough to pay a doctor. That's why I shook my head on the floor a while ago." "You mean," said Randolph Mason, "a legal decision rendered against you in a suit at law?" "Not a bit of it," replied the man; "I mean what I say—skinned out of it. I had no lawsuit. I was standing in a crowd of rubes before a court house when the blindfold lady stepped out with a little shell game and lifted my wad." "This," said Mason, "is the jargon of a cab driver. What do you mean?" "I'll cut it out," replied the man, "I will begin over. When my father died he left me ten thousanjKaolTars in bank stocks. It paid a dividend of about four per cent, and no taxes. Being naturally smarter than my father, I at once determined to take that money and get rich. I sold the stock, pocketed a check book and got busy. One bright morning, in a little town on the MonongaheTa river, a commissioner was selling a tract of land before the court house. In my hunt for good things I happened by accident to know about that land. It is a rough mountain tract, not worth ten dollars an acre; but it is underlaid with the Pittsburgh vein of coal, standing up eight feet thick, clean and solid like a ledge of sandstone. A corner of the land comes down to the railroad and there is a little mine, opened and operated by the old farmer who lived on the place. He had a pole-tipple, wheeled the coal out by hand, and got off about a car a day. The tract contains some two hundred acres. "I stepped up to the commissioner and inquired about the sale. He told me that the owner was broke and the court was selling the land. I inquired if the coal was included and he said, 'Yes; from the sky to the center of the earth.' Then I asked the bid. When he answered fifteen dollars, I nearly threw a fit! Fifteen dollars! The coal was worth two hundred an acre. Now, I had been knocking about the coal country for a good bit and I was no greenhorn. I knew that this was the Pittsburgh vein and I knew what it was worth. The court was selling the land, so there could b* no doubt about the title. I would not have trusted any dealer about a land title if it had been a private sale; but here was the c irt—the old blind lady herself—selling the land, so the game was bound to be straight. I bid twenty. The commissioner called it a moment, and a big man, out a little way in the crowd, with a nose like your elbow, bid twenty-five. I let the thing hang to see if there was another bidder; then, just before the 'going,' I bid thirty. Nosy looked me over, snorted and finally bid thirtyfive, and 'five more/ I said. He stamped arqun$ for & while and finally liftMLlt to forty-five. " 'All right, Nosy,' I said to myself, TTI just throw a good, stiff bluff into you and end it* 'An* five', I said, 'an' five more every time you raise it.' He looked at me for a good minute. "'You're a damned fool!' he said, and then he walked out of the crowd. Nosy was right about that; but I didn't know it just then. The land was knocked down to me at fifty dollars an acre. I paid cash and got my deed, all signed, sealed and delivered. "When I got home and opened my package, I had as nice a box of sawdust as you ever saw. The old girl in the blinkers had double-crossed me like an expert. , No' street fakir could have cleaned a smoother job. My title to this land proved to be only a life estate. I hunted up a lawyer. He said that a court did not guarantee a title when it sold land. I remember his language—it cost me money and I shall always remember it. He said 'The doctrine of caveat emptor obtained at judicial sales; the purchaser bought at his peril/ That is, 'Your eyes are your market* Tbe court sells land through its officer to the public, sells the title for a good one. takes your money; and, if the title is defective, you are stuck, you can't get your money back. The old lady comes out to her door and sells you a pig in a poke. If there's no pig In it, the joke's on you. If it's somebody else's pig, the joke's still on you. I've been up against the shell and the little pea, the five-dollar bill and the soap box, the glad gent who knew my TJncle Ephraim in Potunk, and all kinds of crooked faro, but for the real thing, give me the old blind girl in the court house." tipsy sailor. This sanguine temperament goes surely with this diseaseno other dying men whistle thus cheerily in the face of death, "So there I was," the man continued, "no money, no land. I had bought only the right to use this ground as long as the old farmer lived. A goat with creepers on his feet woujsd have starved on the top of It. I tried to sell out to Nosy. I discovered then that he was a capper for the Union Fuel company, a little branch of one of the two soft coal combines of America. " 'Nothin' doing', he said. 'Our company put up that little job to catch just such suckers as you are.- We bought the fee simple title to that land; then we picked up the debts of the old farmer, who was supposed to own it but had only a life estate, as we knew. We got the debts for ten cents on the dollar, when we show«d the creditors that the rube had no title. Then we brought a creditor's suit to sell the land. I expected to buy it in for the face amount of our debts, but when you butted in and bid it over our debts, I side-stepped. We made about nine thousand dollars on your cut-in. No, we will not pay out any good money for your old life estate. Not us; our heading won't get up to this land for the next ten years. I guess we'll just set back on our hunkers and wait till the old man dies. So long! I may not see you again. You're a lunger; ain't you?' "That was two years ago. The bugs haven't knocked off any time, Clark "have It your own way; but when you wake up don't take it out on me." Then he cocked his hat on one side of his head and followed out to the carriage behind Randolph Mason. The offices of the Union Fuel Company are at the foot of Broadway, an entire floor, reached by a great semicircle of elevators, banging, rattling:, clicking, in their amphitheater of cages, The business carried on here is of necessity stupendous. It has to do with modifying the temperature of the whole country. The forces, too, that labor everywhere under a man's fingers, are sold here, stored in a block of carbon. The companies housed under this roof, and the rival ones occupying as great a building across Broadway, practically own the available coal beds of America, the virgin sources of all the energy used commonly by man, from tb.3 fire cooking his egg to the fire driving his steamship. That there should be two well-defined groups of such companies thus in rivalry, standing like duelists with tbe street between them, arises from the fact that there are two great railroad systems, as yet uncombined, leading into the storehouses of America's coal, each railroad greater in its authority than an empire, having Its retinue of operating companies attached like feudal dependencies, bound to the overlord under penalty of ruin, and coming and going at its beck like the servants of the ceuturion. The two buildings are thus packed with the chief offices of coal companies having mines on the thor- Mr. Andrew Flint like the sun over gun metal. "You have come to the wrong place," he said. "This is not a charity bureau." "Pardon me, sir," replied Randolph Mason; "we haye come to the right place. By the fyse of the machinery of the law, you have taken this 'fnan's money. You must now purchase his title to the land, pay him in cash the two years' interest already due on his purchase money, that is, twelve hundred dollars, and the interest semiannually hereafter, that is,' six hundred dollars per year until his death. This is, not an unreasonable proposition, because, in the present condition of Mr. Hopkins's health, it is not likely that he will live for a longer period than the farmer at whose death the estate terminates." The president of the Union Fuel Company laughed, his voice cackling like a spinning cog-wheel. "Really," he said, "you»amuse me." An ugly sneer gathered in the corners of Mason's mouth. "You do not amuse me," he said; "you annoy me." Mr. Andrew Flint flushed and turned sharply in his chair. "I believe this conference is ended," he said. "Not quite ended," replied Randolph Mason. "Listen a moment, if you please. It is the law of the State of West Virginia that a life tenant—that is, one owning a life estate in lands— cannot open mines and remove coal or minerals from such lands during *l klieve tbis con{erenc6 is en&cL 4*says, and, unless I can get to the South Seas, I'm all in." Randolph Mason leaned over and made a little calculation with his pencil on the corner of the writingpad. "In your condition of health," he said, "ten thousand dollars should easily buy a six per cent annuity. Could you live in the Marquesas on six hundred a year?" The sick man's eyes snapped. "With all the comforts of home, and money to Invest in the funds, as the French say. Outside the grub, you only need a sleeping mat and a pair of pajamas. Fifty plunks a month? I should say yes." "Very well," said Mason,"you shall have twelve hundred dollars down for expenses, and six hundred payable semi-annually as long as you live." The facetious youth made a wide, ludicrous gesture with both arms as though gathering up a great heap of bundles. " A n ' a motor, an* a private car, an' an insurance directorship, an' the young princess, my daughter, for a wife, an' twelve she asses laden with gold—where from?" Randolph Mason looked down at him as one does at a pert, gibing bootblack. "From the Union Fuel Company," he answered The cheerful consumptive snapped his fingers. "Stuff's off," he said. "You might get It from the Fresh A i r Fund or Uncle Abdul of Turkey, but not the coal trust." "We shall get it from the Union Fuel company," said Mason. "Mr. Parks, have Pietro call a carriage, I leaned my elbow on the table and ! and come with us." looked through the open door at tht The young man arose, waved his narrator of this tale, fndifferentl) | rijrhj arm i n a great gesture of assipping his glass of whisky and flip ( sent, pantly spinning out bis story like 3 oughfare .of these roads. Any one of these companies would find an alert rival across the street. It was quite an hour before we got into tbe office of Andrew Flint, the president of the Union Fuel Company, although it was one of the smallest companies in the combine. He was a man magnetized by the rubbing of gold coins; he seemed to point constantly to the financial North; no matter how the needle were flung, it swung finally back tnere. The very physical type of the man was metallic. He was thin and sharp, with iron hair, eyes blue like the points of a drill, and a manner as of a constant clicking. He had abridged the courtesies of life to a formula of brief conventions; but in the discussion of dollars he was almost voluble, his voice raced. He waited, seemingly hung on a string like a suspended pendulum, while Randolph Mason in a dozen sentences stated the gist of the unfortunate's story. Mr. Flint spoke a monosyllable to a clerk, who brought a case of papers and laid it open on a table before him. For a moment he ran his eyes through the file. "Correct," he said; "your Mr. Hop-' kins owns a life estate in these lands. We own the remainder. What do you want?" "I want you to buy the life estate." Mr. Flint looked again at his papers. * "The advice here is against it," he answered. "This tract is a patch attaching to the eastern corner of our field. Our main openings are four miles west; the coal won't be available to us for ten years. "This life estate may he terminated then. Why should we buy it now?" "For the very reason that it may be terminated •hen," answered Randolph Mason. " A l l right, Governor," he said; [ A smite flitted across the face of % 4 his life, but must get his living from the surface and pass over all the wealth beneath his feet to his successor. He may be sick, weighted with debt, starving, the wealth of the Indies may lie beneath the sod of his lands like a burled treasure, yet it is held in certain decisions that he cannot touch it. Does such a rule of law seem to you to be justice?" It was now Andrew Flint's turn to sneer. "I am not interested," he replied, "in the justice of it." "Perhaps," continued Mason, "you may be interested in a further provision of that doctrine, quite as curious. It Is also-4he law of the State of West Virginia that, if at the time the iife tenant comes into his estate there is a mine opened on the land and in operation, then this person with the life estate can not only continue the operation of the mine, but he can also work it to exhaustion. He can gut the land of every ounce of value. If a way be but cut to the door of the storehouse, he can rifle it to the last penny. He can disembowel the land and leave his successor only a worthless shell. Does this seem to you to be any sounder justice?" The president of the Union Fuel Company fell back into bis attitude of business interest, as by the snapping of a lever. "What! what!" he said. "Let me understand you." "You shall understand me exactly," replied Mason. "There is a little mine in operation on this land. 1 If you do not choose to make this contract with Mr. Hopkins, I shall take him to the coal company across the street, which also operates in this region. I shall lease the land to it for any royalty it suggests, even a cent a ton. This Pittsburgh vein is eight feet thick. It will yield ten thousand tons to the acre. A t one cent a ton that would net Mr. Hopkins a royalty of one hundred dollars per acre. Ordinarily any company would take out ten acres e v e r y year. Under the existing conditions, this company will take out twenty. This will yield Mr. Hopkins s o m e twenty thousand dollars in the end, and the company a profit of a hundred thousand; and you at tbe farmer's death will have a shell of broken rocks to inherit as your estate. Does my proposition seem now a matter of so much amusement?" Mr. Flint saw that the matter bad reached that practical status which he called business, and, after his custom, he prepared instantly to meet i t "Just a moment^1 ease," he said. He turned to his telephone on the table and called up one of the great law firms of the city. He stated In a few rapid words the l e g a l question involved. We could not, of course, hear the answer, but the jerky expletives of Mr. Flint were eloquent. Presently he placed the receiver on its horn. "We will take Mr. Hopkins's title at your figure," he said. But just then the sick man emphat* ically thrust into the conference. "No, you don't!" he cried, bouncing out of his chair. "I've got the harpoon in you, an' I'm goin' to jump on it. You pay me a thousand dollars a year, and every minute I raise it five hundred 1" Randolph Mason reached over his hand, caught the excited Mr. Hopkins by the arm, and replaced him in his chair. "Your silence," he said, "will oblige me. You shall receive exactly the sum I have named, neither a dollar more nor less. I do not intend that either you or this company shall take an advantage." I do not know which regarded Mason with a greater wonder, the humbled fellow or Mr. Andrew Flint. The one, no less than the other, expected an advantage to be pressed home; It was the first law of commerce, as they knew it; all else was a theory of churches. I think the sick man would have broken into protest, but the manner of Randolph Mason was not to be misread, and, too, in the former's eye he was something of the magician In the fairy book, and not to be set In anger lest tbe gold in B i g h t vanish. A deed was swiftly written, executed, and a check for twelve hundred dollars passed over to Mr. Hopkins. I shall always remember the comment of that erratic but cheerful person as we left the building. He walked along through the corridor beside me, his aye traveling in sort of childish wondw over Randolph Mason, who strode before him, doubtless like a Providence. Finally, as we were comi n g to the door, he plucked my sleeve and Jspoke his comment, which, phrased differently, was, indeed, the comment of us all. "fhe old boy's a terror! ain't he?" 1 For the legal principle Involved in this story see Tho Law of Mines and Mining In the United 8tates (Barrlnoer A Adams, page 15), also tpe following cases: Koen v.

COMBINE BEAUTY AND UTILITY Practical Nature of the Swiss Shown in Their Gardens—Cow Houses , Built Over Springs. I The Swiss gardens are a quaint combination of the artistic and practical, writes F. Harris Deans in tbe Wide World. A row of geraniums will be followed by a line of red cabbages; lettuce and lilies grow in perfect harmony side by side; archways are covered with scarlet runners. The effect, however, is quite pleasing. . In many cases, too, the farmers take advantage of the numerous springs on the mountainside and build their cow, houses over them, thus ensuring a constant supply of water running through the cow house. I observed this for the first time one day Immediately after having quenched my thirst at a sparkling spring. I felt a horrible doubt that all was not clear that sparkled. It was a hot day, but 1 felt quite cool as I retraced my steps and tracked that spring to He scarce. I was relieved to find that the fanner who owned that particular spring didn't keep cows; I should have become a vegetarian if he had. After that I found lukewarm water from a Gasthaus more refreshing. What the eye doesn't see the stomach doesn't grieve about Suggestion for New Holiday. Texas has an "onion day." Commenting on its observation, a New Yorker said to a Galveston merchant: "The Lone Star state has the better of tbe Empire state, for we have no vegetable or flower to which we do tearful homage as yon do to the fragrant onion. The fact is, we are open to suggestions as to a new holiday. The latest proposition in that line was a 'moving day.' Now, don't misunderstand the term. Those who move will not celebrate; they will just move and experience all the joys pertaining to that heart and furniture-breaking function. Those who will/ celebrate will be the people,who can look on."—New York Tribune D I S C O U R A G I N G Until You Get After The Cause • Nothing more d i ^ couraging than a constant backache.

Judge Price visits Colonel Fentress, where he meeU Yancy and Cavendish. C H A P T E R X X I V . ( C o n t i n u e d ) . When they entered the library Fentress turned and took stock of his guests. Mahaffy he had seen before; Yancy and Cavendish were of course strangers to him, but their appearance explained them; last of all, his glance shifted to the jud^e. He1 ,had heard something of those activities by means of which Slocum Price had striven to distinguish himself, and be had a certain curiosity respecting the man. It was Immediately satisfied. The judge had reached a degree of shabbiness . seldom equaled, ^and but for his mellow, effulgent personality might well have passed for a common vagabond; and if hla dress advertised the state of his finances, his face explained Ms habits. No misconception was possible about either. "May I offer you a glass of liquor?" asked Fentress, breaking the silence. He stepped to the walnut center-table where there was a decanter and glasses. By a gesture the ."Judge declined the Invitation. Whereat the colonel looked surprised, but not so surprised as Mahaffy. There was another silence. "1 don't think we over mot. before?" observed Fentress. There was something In the fixed stare his visitor was bending upon him that he found disquieting, just why, he could not have told. But that fixed Btare of the judge's continued. No, the man had not changed—he had grown older certainly, but ago had not come ungracefully; he became the glossy broadcloth and spotless linen he wore. Here was a man who could command the good things of life, using them with a rational temperance. The room Itself was in IfHrmony with his character; It was plain but rich In Its appointments, at once his library and his of* flee, while the well-filled cases ranged about the walls showed his tastes to be in the main scholarly and Intellectual. "How long have you lived here?" asked the judge abruptly. Fentress seemed to hesitate; but the Judge's glance* compelling and Insistent, demanded an answer. "Ten years." "YQU have known many men of ail classes as a lawyer and a planter?1' said tbe judge. Fentress inclined his head. The judge took a step nearer him. "People hare a great trick of coming and going in these western states—all sorts of damned riffraff drift in and out of these, new lands." A deadly earnestness lifted the judge's words above' mere rudeness. Fentress, cold and distant, made no reply. "For the past twenty years I nave been looking for a man by the name of Oatewood—David Qatewood." Dtsclplined as ho was, the colonel start* ed violently. "Ever heard of him, Fentress?" demanded the judge with a savage scow). "What's ail tfcts to me?" The words came witH a gasp from Fentress' tirieriUflg Up*. > Tile judge looked at *1m aeody i*6 frown in* *T have reason to think this man Gatewood came to west Tennessee/' he said. "If so, I have never heard of him." "Perhaps not under that name—at any rate, you are going to hear of him now. This man Gatewood, who between ourselves was a damned scoundrel"—- the colonel winced—"this man Gatewood had a friend who threw money and business In his way—a planter he was, same as Gatewood. A sort of partnership existed between the pair. It proved an expensive enterprise for Gatewood's friend, since he came to trust the damned scoundrel more and more as time passed— even large sums of his money were in Gatewood's hands—" Fentress* countenance was like stone, as expressionless and as rigid. By the door stood Mahaffy with Yancy and Cavendish; they understood that what was obscure and i meaningless to them held a tragic significance to these two men. The judge's heavy face, ordinarily battered and debauched, but infinitely goodnatured, bore now the markings ot deep passion, and the voice that rumbled forth from his capacious chest came to their ears like distant thunder. "This friend of Gatewood's had a wife—" The Judge's voice broke, emotion shook him like a leaf; he was tearing open his wounds. He reached over and poured himself a drink, sucking it down with greedy Hps. "There was a wife—" he whirled about on his heel and faced Fentress again. "There was a wife, Fentress—" he fixed Fentress with his blazing eyes. " A wife and child. Well, one day Gatewood and the wife were missing. Under the circumstances Gatewood's friend was well rid of the pair—he should have been grateful, but he wasn't, for his wife took his child, a daughter; and Gatewood a trifle of thirty thousand dollars his friend had intrusted to him!" There was another silence. "At a later day I met this man who had been betrayed by his wife and robbed by hi3 friend. He had fallen out of the race—drink had done for him—there was just one thing he seemed to care about, ant} that was the fate of his child, but maybe he was only curious there. He wondered if she had lived, and married—" Once more the judge paused. "What's all this to me?" asked Fentress. "Are you sure it's nothing to you?" demanded the judge hoarsely. "Understand thi3, Fentress, Gatewood's treachery brought ruin to at least two lives. It caused the woman's father to hide his face from the world; it wasn't enough for him that his friends believed his daughter dead; he knew differently, and the shame of that knowledge ate into his soul, it cost the husband his place in the world, too—In the end it made of him a vagabond and a penniless wanderer." "This is nothing to me," said Fentress. "Wait!" cried the judge. "About six years ago tbe woman was seen at her father's home in North Carolina. 1 reckon Gatewood had cast her off. She didn't go hack empty-handed. She had run away from her husband with a child—a glri; after a lapse of twenty years she returned to her father with a boy of two or three. There are two questions that must be answered when 1 find Gatewood: what became of the woman, and what became of the child; are they living or dead; did the daughter grow up and marry and have a son? When I get my answer It will be time enough to think of Gatewood's punishment!" The judge leaned forward across the table, bringing his face close to Fentress' face. "Look at me—do you know me now?" But Fentress' expression never altered. The judge fell back a step. "Fentress, I want the boy," he said quietly. "What boy?" "My grandson!" "You are mad! What do I know of him—or you?" Fentress was gaining courage from the sound of his own voice. "You know who he is and where he is. Your business relations with this man Ware have put you on the track of the Quintard lands In this state. You Intend to use the boy to gather them In." "You're mad!" repeated Fentress. "Unless you bring him to me inside of twenty^our hours I'll smash you!" roared tb«j}udge. "Your name isn't Fentress, it's Gatewood; you've stolen the name of Fentress, just as you have stolen other things. What's come of Turbervilles money? Damn your soul! I want my grandson! I'll pull you down and leave you stripped and bare! Til tell the world the false friend you've been—the thief you are! I'll strip you and turn you out ot these doors as naked as wherl you entered the world!" The judge seemed to tower above Fentress; the man had shot up out of his deep debasement. "Choose! Choose!" he thundered, his shaggy brows bent in a menacing frown. "I know nothing about the boy," said Fentress slowly. "By God, you lie!" stormed the judge. "I know nothing about the boy," and Tontress took a step toward the door. "Stay where you are!" commanded the judge. "It you attempt to leave this room to call your niggers I'll kill you on its threshold!" But Yancy and Cavendish had that was 'evident, and Fentress' thin face cast itself in haggard lines. He was feeling the judge's terrible capacity, his unexpected ability to deal with a supreme situation. Even Mahaffy gazed at his friend in wonder. He had only seen him spend himself on trifles, with no further object than stepped to the door with an intention the next meal or the next drink; he had believed that as he knew him so he had always been, lax and loose of tongue and deed, a noisy tavern hero, but now he Baw that he was falling what must have been the measure of his manhood. f*T Z, He Tossed the Glass and '. >nt«nt« In ftntrte*' Faoe. "I tell you I had no hand in carrying off the boy," said Fentress witn ~a sardonic smile. "I look to you to return him. Stir yourself, Gatewood, or by God. I'll hold so fierce a reckoning with you—" The sentence remained unfinished, for Fentress felt his overwrought nerves snap, and, giving way to a sudden blind fury, struck at the judge. "We are too old tor rough and tumble," said the judge, who had dla* played astonishing agility in avoiding the blow. "Furthermore we were once gentlemen. At present I am what i am, while you are a hound and a blackguard! We'll settle this as becomes our breeding." He poured himself a second glass of liquor from Fentress' decanter. "I wonder if it is possible to Insult you," and he tossed glass and contents in Fentress' face. The colonel's thin features were convulsed. The judge watched him with a scornful curling or the lips. "X am treating you better than you deserve," he taunted. "Tomorrow* morning at sun-up at Boggs' race-track!" cried Fentress, The judge bowed with splendid courtesy. "Nothing could please me half so well," he declared. He turned to the others. "Gentlemen, this is a private matter. When I have met Colonel Fentress I shall make a public announcement of why this appeared necessary to me; until then 1 trust this matter will not be given publicity. May I ask your silence?" He bowed again, and abruptly passed from the room. His three friends followed in his steps, leaving Fentress standing by the table, the ghost of a smile o-n his thin lips. As if tho very place were evil, the judge hurried down the drive toward the road. At the gate he paused and turned on his companions, but Ms features wore a look of dignity that forbade comment or question. He held out his hand to Yancy. "Sir," he said, "if I could command the riches of the Indies, it would tax my resources to meet the fractional part of my obligations to. you." "Think of that!" said Yancy, as much overwhelmed by the judge's manner as by his words. "His Uncle Bob shall keep hi* piatfe in my grandson's life! We'll watch him grow into manhood together." The judge was visibly affected. A smile of deep content parted Mr. f a n c y ' s lips as his muscular lingers closed about the judge's hand with; crushing force. "Whoop!" cried Cavendish, delighted at this recognition of Yancy's love for the boy, and he gleefully smote the austere Mahaffy on the shoulder. But Mahaffy was dumb in the presence of the decencies; be quite lacked an interpreter. The judge looked back at the house. "Mine!" he muttered. "The Glothea he stands in—the food he e a t s - mine! Mine!" LIVE OTOCK A8 HOME GRAIN M A H K E T M A K E R S . In talking with Professor Hunzlkerjl Chief of the Department of Dairy Hue-, bandry at Purdue, on the subject o r Live Stock on the Farm, as prtfltable market makers for the farm grain* products, the Professor gave the following Interesting table on possible, corn consumption by dairy cattle alone in Indiana. * He said: "I have not the necessary* statistics. within reach: t o t .estimate) what portion of the corn pt our state is consumed by..daJiT cattle ot{ that by beef cattle, but take for in* stance, as an estimate, according to the United States census report for 1910, the corn crop In Indiana aver« aged 39.3 bushels per acre. It is esi timated that With this yield, that theacre will produce about ten tons of corn silage. The average cow eat»» during the year (about eight months) six tons of com silage, containing about twenty-three and one-half bushels of corn. The average cow poBS}- bly receives four pounds of corn meal daily eight months of the year, amounting to fourteen bushels of £orn. Thus the total corn consumed per cow in the State would average thirty-seven and one-half bushels; as we have 666,000 dairy cows in Indiana, the dairy consumption would amount to about 24,975,000 bushels annually.

To t»ls end they were lounging about: the opening in the woods where the horses belonging to Ware and Murrell were tied. At length the dip of oars became audible in the slence and one of the trio stole down path, a matter of fifty yards, to a putnt that overlooked the bayou. He was gone but a moment "Iff Murrell all right!" he sai* in an eager whisper. " H i m and another fellow—the Hicks glri is rowing them."

Hide to Shoe Tarwers and Shoe Manufacturers Grand Rapids Michigan DECLAIMING CUT HARDWOOD TIMBER LAND By R. 8. SHAW, Dean and Director Michigan Agricultural College. Such Land Could Easily Be Made to P roduee More Pasture by Scattering Grass Seed and Piling Loose Logs. In order to reclaim hardwood stump land and prepare it for the production of farm crops, action must be taken quickly after the timber has been removed to prevent a second growth from starting up and greatly increasing the cost of clearing year after year. This is particularly true where maple seedlings are abundant. The only practical way to clear such lands consists in producing conditions which will hurry the rotting of the stumps in the ground and the debris on the surface. In order to do this a fairly good job should be made of the piling and burning, and there are always opportune times to do this work if it can be so arranged. To pile the brush and partly decomposed logs and pull all small snags entails a large expense. On the other hand if too much debris remains it diminishes the returns from pasturage. As soon as the burning has been done a inixture of grasses and legumes should be sown, consisting of timothy, red clover, alsike, alfalfa Onion Culture Shoe Polishes FINEST QUALITY LARGEST VARIETY They meet every requirement for cleaning and polishing siioca of all kinds and colors, ft - I ^l t N !•' • :-¾¾;- v. c \ Ui .P I I ^[T: G T X T , E D G E , tbe only ladles* shoe dressing tbat positively contains OIL.

S A N D c m o s i The essential requirements of a soil upon which to grow onions profitably are a high state of fertility, good mechanical conditions ln order that the crop may be easily worked, sufficient drainage, and freedom from weeds. If the soli has the proper mechanical properties, that is, if it contains sufficient sand and humus to be easily worked, is retentive of moisture and fertilizers, and is capable of drainage— all other requirements can be met. The three types of soil being most extensively planted to onions in this country are alluvial loams, sandy loams and muck and peat soils. Clay soils, which bake and run together ! after rajns^ arj injurious to the seed- US H ahcT do'nof pSrmit I>$>pe? early cultivation. Well drained sandy loams are especially adapted to onions, but require heavy applications of fertilizers, lime, and the growth of leguminous crops to keep them in good condition. Muck soils are among the best for onions when fertilized with manure and potash, and made free from weeds. The onion belongs to that class of crops which gives best results under very intensive culture and the greatest yields are secured when a moderate acreage is planted and the work conducted in a most thorough manner. As a general rule onions should follow some crop that has been kept under the hoe and free from weeds the, previous season. Corn, beans and potatoes are suitable crops with which to precede onions. Onions should not be planted on the same piece of land year after year, and some system of crop rotation should be maintained. Care should be taken, however, to use crops in the rotation that will not be exhaustive of the high fertility necessary in the -onion land. During the years when the land is not devoted to onions it can be planted to some truck crop that will give a return that will justify the application of large quantities of fertilizers or better, to a leguminous crop to be turned under as a green manure. Continuous cropping with onions will cause the land to become infested with both disease and insect enemies, that will sooner or later injure the crop to such an extent as to render it unprofitable. The methods of preparing the soil will depend somewhat upon its character, but Ullage must be continued until the soil is smooth and mellow to the depth o# four or five inches. It is essential Chat the fertilizers be well mixed with the soil. There is perhaps no fertilizer so well adapted to the production of onions as well-composted stable manure, and lt should be spread on the land several months before planting to onions. A fertilizer adapted to the growing of onions should contain four to five per cent, of nitrogen, five to seven per cent, of phosphoric acid, and eight to ten per cent, of potash. A fertilizer of this character will cost $38 to $40 a ton, and can be profitably applied at the rate of 1,000 pounds to the acre on most soils. The following mixture can be mixed at home uniformly distributed (if conditions are suitable) and some orchard grass. This mixture should be sown broadcast over logs and stumps, covering the entire area. If the season is moderately wet and the seeding is made early no attempt to cover may be necessary, but if conditions demand it the brush drag is the only thing that will avail except where the clearing has been clean enough to permit of the use of an Ashaped drag. The following season after the grass and clover has become established the area should be pastured by sheep, which will not only keep the grass down, bft will deBtroy all sprouts, weeds, etc., much more effectively than cattle or horses. Under these conditions, with all attempts at growth completely checked, the hardwood stumps will rot out ln a few years, leaving the land in condition easily prepared for cultivation. A good seeding is essential to success and a good percentage of timothy is particularlr^desirable. over the land shortly before sowing the seed: Sulfate of ammonia, 25 per cent.200 pounds Dried blood 300 pounds Cotton seed meal 300 pounds Acid phosphate S00 pounds Muriate of potash, 60 per cent. .400 pounds 2000 pounds The seed should be sown as early in the spring as the soil can be brought into the best possible condition. The hand drills which sow one row at a time are extensively used but larger growers use a gang of drills which seed five or seven rows at once. Where hand cultivation Is to be practiced the usual distance between rows is 12 to 14 inches. For growing the standard market onion In rows 14 inches apart, about four and one-half pounds of seed will be required per acre. Thinning should be done at the first weeding to a uniform stand of eight to ten plants to the foot. It is always well, however, to allow for considerable loss of plants, and^ unless the plants are so thick as 16 actually crowd, the thinning will The cultural requirements of the onion are frequent shallow stirrings of the soil and freedom from weeds! As soon as the plants are up and the rows can be followed, the cultivator should be started to loosen the sotf which Is always more or less, compacted during seeding. There are many wheel hoes and hand weeders on the market, which greatly assist in the tedious weeding and thinning of onions.—Farmers' Bulletin 354, United States Department of Agriculture. HOW TO CAN CORN By Mrs. MYRA BOGUE, Michigan Agricultural College. Select young, tender ears of sweet corn, husk and silk, then with a sharp knife shave off the outside of the kernels and scrape the inner juicy portion from the cob. F i l l the cans, add one tablespoonful of salt, then pour in sterilized water from the tea kettle until it runs over. Put on rubbers and tops but do not seal. Set cans in the boiler, which has, been equiped with a wooden bottom, poui in the cold water, place the cover on, and boil for one hour. Remove the cover and when the steam escapee screw or clamp the tops so as to pre* vent the air from entering. The next day loosen the tops and repeat the boiling. Fasten the tops as before and cool. The third day repeat the operation. Then when cool seal and put in a cool, dark place. The repeated boiling will kill all the bacteria and make "assurance doubly sure." Do not put too much water in the boiler and be sure the cover is on tight, as it is the steam that does thfc s t e r l i n g . Feed the farm flock well in the fall. The success of the lamb crop depends, in a great measure, upon the health and condition of the ewes at the time of breeding and at the time of entering the feeding pens in the fall. Some succulent pasture should be furnished them at the time when pastures are usually dry in the fall. Rape is last cultivation or in the oats to furnish pasture for this purpose. GIRL'S SLAYER CAUGHT George Spongier, Ctn.'esses That He Killed Matilda Reis ot 959 Beautat Ave, Detroit. Mystery shrouding the murder of 12-year-old Matilda Keis i n the alley i n the rear of her home at 97b Beaufait street, was cleared by the confession of George Brown Spengler, a laborer, 30 years old, 537 Elmwood avenue, whom the police had taken into custody. Spengler, after he had been in a cell at central police station since his arrest, called to Doorman Erke and said he was ready to make a complete confession. Detectives John Steinhebei and Golden brought Spengler up to the detectives' room at once and there took his confession in detail. According to the murderer's own story, he cut the girl's throat first and then slashed her abdomen. Spengler has been regarded as a friend of the Reis family. He is mentally unbalanced, and drinks heavily. He became acquainted with the parents of the Reis girl, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Reis, when he was a boy, and until a few years ago. frequently visited the Reis home. It was at these visits that Spengler formed an acquaintance with the girl. Spengler, accompanied by officers of the police headquarters, was started on a journey to the Beaufait avenue alley to the scene of his crime. The party, every one of whom was silent, undertook a weird night investigation of the blood-stained sands. THE MARKETS.

COME UP--WE, P A Y YOUR F A R E D A N C E R C O M P A N Y M Advice for the Renter There is always a temptation to abuse a rented place, just because it isn't yours. Tou are there today and gone tomorrow, why not take all you can out of the land and put back as little as possible? What if the soil does run down? What if the fences are toppled over? They aren't yours, why not abuse them? For three reasons. In the first place it won't be so profitable for you if you do. Abuse does its work quickly. Even in the short period that you intend to live on the place, the failure to keep it up will show in your own crop returns. In the second place, the evil habits you form on this farm and the habits your children are forming, will rise up to curse you when you one day are settled on a farm place of your own. No one ever does a wrong who does not pay its full price in habits of and shiftlessness, and loss of self respect. Finally, it doesn't do to get a reputation for carelesness in respect to the rights and posessions of others. Such a reputation travels faster than the railroad train; you find it already establish* ed iu the new community to which you have fled to escape it. It fordids friendships and murders credit, undermines self respect and makes life a fight instead of a proud nchievement.—Ex. Will Excise Forest Lands Congress has passed a bill permitting the federal government and the state of Michigan to exchange lands within the state. The government has several thousand acres of land in Michigan which is set aside for forest reserves, and intermingled with these lands are thousands of acres belonging to the state. At tbe regular session of tbe legislature a bill was passed giving the state public domain commission power to exchange lands with the federal government, with the idea of separating the forest reserve lands belonging to the state from thoae owned and controlled by the federal government. It was later discovered that it was necessary for congress to pass similar legislation in order to carry out the transaction, and this bas now been accomplished, and the state and government are now in position to deal.
