FAMOUS EDUCATOR WILL RETIRE FROM POSITION CRITICISES RELIEF WORK fei**> sS Bays States Pay Too Little Attention to Local Charities While Caring for the Fruits In State Institution^ Battle Greek—Most states have dwelt unwisely and unjustly with the largest group of offenders, the misdemeanants, said John A Brown, of Indianapolis, state agent of the board of charities, at the closing session «f the Michigan Conference of Charities and Corrections here Friday. "The misdemeanant 1B sent to jail. where his life la one of Idleness. He la educated In vice and crime. He needs a different treatment No better system can be found than that of the colony farm, with Its out of door life, its industry and good wholesome food," said Mr. Brown. "No one knows how much relief is given, who receive It, how well it is administered, or the result obtained," he said. "The states have practically all failed to recognize the importance of local charities. They have devoted much time to the fruits gathered into state institutions and failed to lay the axe to the root that bore the undesirable fruit. With few exceptions, the proper supervision of local charities does not exist." "In your own state, superintendents of poor appointed by the county boards • of supervisors grant ordinary outdoor and special relief for dependent wives and children of men imprisoned for desertion or abandonment. There are both county and township overseers of the poor> The council in a city or village may also grant relief. A county relief board extends aid to needy ex-soldiers, sailors and marines on the recommendation of township and ward supervisors or aldermen. Relief to mothers of dependent children is given by the Juvenile division of the probate court. All of this is without active state supervision or co-operation. In some states there appears a special form of relief for every kind of dependency and in others many officials to whom any dependent can appeal." "No plan for public relief that could be devised would be entirely above criticism, but a system based upon the best known principles would do much toward lifting the whole problem upon a higher plane." William A. Prater, of Paw Paw, an expert in public charity, told of the disadvantages in the present Michigan system of state child placing. Mist Evelyn 0. Gardiner, secretary of the Social Welfare association of tJrand Rapids, was the last speaker. She discussed the administration of poor relief by the county. The conference will meet in Detroit In 1916. MRS. ELLA FLAQQ YOUNG. Chicago—Ella Flagg Young, for six years superintendent of schools, announces that she will resign December 8 when the regular school election will be held. * The superintendent blamed "persistent discussion of the superintendency of schools in the daily newspapers," for her determination to quit. She declared she would have resigned last June but for the fact that there was a large deficit in the school fund, a condition which, she said, does not exist now. Mrs. Young, who is 70 years old, had been active in school affairs since 1862, when at the age of 16, she began teaching. CLUB WOMEN AT LANSING State Federation Qoes On Record As Supporting Prohibition and Equal Suffrage. WARRANT FOR EX-OFFICIAL Former Deputy Treasurer of Grand Rapids Under Arrest. Grand Rapids—Police Judge Prank Bess late Friday afternoon issued a warrant charging William H. Olmstead, former deputy city treasurer, with embezzlement The complaint was made by Richard Wilson, special investigator for Prosecuting Attorney Barnard, who is BOW conducting an Investigation of minors of dishonesty among members of the so-called "cKy hall ring." Eight counts are cited in the charges against Olmstead, all centering around the disappearance from thecity treasurer's office of 12,079. During the impeachment trial of City Treasurer Hawkins the money was returned by Olmstead to the treasurer who said It had been "mislaid." Lansing—The State Federation of Women's clubs Friday morning, by the passage of the report of the resolutions committee, went on record for state-wide prohibition and reiterated its endorsement of woman suffrage. The committee's report also put the federation on record as "favoring a sane and modest garb for our young girls." The report says much of the present dress for girls was Immodest and unhealthful. As to "Bowery music," as Mrs. Ashbaugh of Detroit called it, in her address, the report had the federation "discountenance all musical verses which were Immoral In their nature, by refusing them a place in the home." Support was also extended to the movement for a Will Carleton memorial; Michigan congressmen were patted on the back for voting for the federal child labor law; and the position of the organization regarding the women's reformatory and other state legislative matters was reiterated. The following officers were elected: President, Mrs. R. H. Ashbaugh, Detroit; vice-president at large, Mrs, Florence I. Bulson, Jackson; first district vice-president, Mrs. Mary A. Shull, Tecumseh; second district vicepresident, Mrs. Burritt Hamilton, Battle Creek; fourth district vice-president, Miss Nina DeLong Sands, Pentwater; fifth district vice-president, Mrs. ChaB. H.

Warfleld of Plttaford has bom elected comnty school examiner by the board of supervisors of Hillsdale oons> ty. There were two other BGHTKUEDW AUTO ACCIDENT GRAND TRUNK TRAIN STRIKES CAR CONTAINING FARMER AND FAMILY. CRASH COMES AT CROSSING Machine Is 8truok Squarely In the Middle and Seven Occupants Are Killed Outright By Collision. Mt Clemens—Grand Trunk flyer No. 18, leaving Detroit at 10:30 o'clock Sunday morning, at Fraser, Macomb county, Sunday noon crashed into an automobile truck in which William Stoldt, Avon township farmer, was driving with his family. Seven of the eight passengers were killed outright and Stoldt was fatally injured. Those who were killed are: Mrs. Rachel Stoldt, aged 44 years, Mrs. Stoldt's sister, Miss Minnie Engel, of Romeo, and Mr. and Mrs. Stoldt's five daughters, Pearl, 17; Esther, 6; Hazel, 12; Mabel, 10 and Martha, aged. The awful spectacle of seven dead bodies strewn along the railway tracks for a quarter mile was what churchgoers saw before Coroner Sperlich arrived. There were no eye-witnesses to the tragedy excepting the train cre*w. The train stopped and a hasty examination showed that all were dead except Stoldt. He was taken on the train, in charge of Conductor Harry Harris and Engineer Charles Lane, and brought to the Washington hospital here. Sheriff Hartway was notified and, with Coroner Sperlich and Prosecutor Kent, was on the scene of the accident within 15 minutes. A flat railway truck was employed by the coroner to gather up the bodies. Just how the accident occurred is all conjecture, but there are indications of carelessness on the part of the driver, Stoldt, in the opinion of the authorities. There are two crossings at Fraser station, one about 100 yards south of the depot and the other 200 yards north, within the limits of the railroad yards. It was at the latter point where the accident happened. On the corner west of the tracks and toward the station from the road, is a house BJid a grove of trees. Train No. 18 is not scheduled to stop at Fraser. Two persons stated the whistle was properly sounded for the crossing. Stoldt, If he saw the train coming, was probably under the Impression that it would stop and that he was in no danger in making the north crossing, or he may not have noticed its approach until he emerged from behind the house and the trees and was almost on the tracks, is the opinion of the Investigators. The train was a few minutes behind time and going at a high rate of speed. That the automobile was hit squarely in the middle is evidenced by the fact that the front trucks were found close to the tracks on the right side, hurled through the fence of a cattle guard, and the rear truck was carried nearly a Quarter of a mile and dumped on the left side. Other parts of the machine were found in the field several hundred feet from the right of way.

Confederate Sarseant Wyatt 1* sent AS a spy to his native county on the Green Briar. He meets a mountaineer named Jem Taylor. At a house beyond Hot Spring's they meet Majox Harwood. Wyatt Is sent to bed. He becomes ausplolous, and finds that Taylor has murdered Harwood and escaped. Wyatt changes to U. B. uniform, and to a detachment of Fed* eral cavalry identifies himself as Lieu- , tenant Raymond. Third U. 8. cavalry. Captain Fox finds Harwood's body. The detachment is ambushed. Wyatt escapes to the Green Briar country and goes to Harwood's home, where he finds Noreen Harwood. He Introduces himself as Lieutenant Raymond. Parson Nichols comes to the house and tells Noreen of her father's death. Wyatt forces Parson Nichols to confess that he has been sent in advance of Anse Cowan, who proposes to marry Noreen at once, and so quiet title to the land in dispute between the Cowans and Noreen's dead father. Anse Qowan and his gang arrive and find the preacher bound in a closet Wyatt and Noreen have concealed themselves In the attic CHAPTER X—Continued. I wag obliged to loosen It by the Insertion of my knife blade, yet the clamp yielded with but little noise, and I peered eagerly down the opening. There was a lamp burning In the lower hall, the reflection sufficiently bright to reveal the general situation. No men were visible, nor did I bear any voices in conversation. One thing was certain—the upper hall was com* pletely deserted, for I could see along its entire length. I lifted my head, and glanced back to where the girl remained silent, and motionless. My eyes, long accustomed to the darkness, could distinguish her outlines, even the dim contour of her face. She sat upright on the rough flooring, apparently regarding me intently. , "Do you find the way left clear V* "So far as the upper hall is conearned— yes. There is a light burning below, although I can perceive no movement They may be In the dining room, but I do not believe they will search up here again." "No?" The slight rising inflection stung me. What did her action mean? Why should she so suddenly assume that tone with me? The sooner I knew the better. "I beg your pardon, Miss Harwood," I said quietly, "but I fail to understand why you should speak to me in this manner. You have shown confidence, trust, in my former efforts to serve you, and I am just as eager now to be of service." "You mean you wish me to have complete confidence in yon?1* "Certainly. I can do nothing other* wise." There was an instant of silence, in which her breathing was plainly audible. Beneath the shadow of an uplifted hand I felt that her eyes were upon my face. "Very well, then," she said finally, her voice more expressive of interest "It is surely no more than natural that I should desire to know whom I hare the honor of talking with." "But do yon not know?" "No," firmly and dedaiTely. "Ton heard what those men said—yet yon go on pretending to me. Ton are the officer they referred to, are yon notr Tea; I escaped when Fox's command was attacked.1* Ton were an officer in Captain Fox's troopr "No; I joined him by accident at Hot Springs." * "Under what name?" The utter nselesinou of attempting to lie was apparent Bar questions were too direct, too straightforward, for any further evasion. The slightest quibbfing now would coat me bar friendship forever. If I hesitated, it was scarcely noticeable. -Under the name,* I replied etdefiy, "of Charles H. Baymond, lieutenant Third TJ. 8. cavalry, on •<—iniUfng any weight with her. She sat motionless, bent slightly forward. At last she said slowly: "I—I know enough of—of army life to be aware that men are not ordered to such hazardous work—they are asked to volunteer. Only a brave man would assume such a risk; only a man who believed in himself, and bis cause. I—I like you better because you have told me. I believe yon are honest with me now. I did not know what to do, or what to say before. 1 knew you were not Raymond, and that you were acting a lie—but could not guess your purpose. What made it harder to understand," her voice hesitating slightly, "arose because there was something about you so oddly familiar; I—-I felt that 1 ought to recognise your face; that somewhere we had met before—have.we?" "Yes, Miss Noreen; I am Tom Wyatt" -Why! Why, of course!" the swift expression was one of intense relief. "How stupid of me! Oh, I am so glad that I know." To my surprise she held out both hands Impulsively. "Your being a spy doesn't make any difference now that I know who you really are. It is no wonder I did not recognise you—why you were only a boy—* "Not when you rode by my mother and me on the pike J' / "A year ago?

"And thought Noreen Harwood the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen." "Why yon—yon are in even greater danger than LM "Oh, no; from all I have seen and heard the Cowans must be in sympathy with ths South, or they never would have made the attack on Fox's party, or held Lieutenant Raymond prisoner. I had considered going direct to Anse, revealing my identity, and demanding protection." Her hands grasped my sleeve. ' "No, not that! Yon do not understand, Tom Wyatt These men care nothing for the Issues of the war. They merely use them to cover sp their own lawless deeds, and to assist is working ost schemes of revenge. They are neither Federal, nor Confederate; they are robbers, murderers, and thieves. Is Anas Cowan here tonight for any purpose tost sis own? Yon realise what that purpose is."

What did the man Taylor look like?" "I described him to Captain Fox, and one of his men, a sergeant. Instantly pronounced the fellow to be old Ned Cowan." "Ned Cowan! Why. that could not be! My father would never have an appointment alone with him. They have been deadly enemies for years." "That may be true, Misa Noreen. I can only tell you what little I know. Your father might have been deceived; drawn into a trap. He was there apparently by appointment to confer with a man known to him as Taylor. Who Taylor really waB I cannot saybut he was an enemy, not a friend, of Major Harwood. I do not insist that the fellow was Ned Cowan, but I am sure he belonged to the gang. We trailed him nearly to New River, and had gone Into camp amid the mountains when the Cowans attacked us. In my judgment the killing of your father, and the raid on this house tonight form part of the same plan." I do not think she was crying, although her face was buried in her hands. I turned my eyes away, down through the scuttle hole, but nothing moved along the hall below. The house seemed absolutely deserted, but the lamp continued to burn, and yet, even as I felt the strangeness of such intense silence, a door slammed somewhere in the distance, and a gruff voice spoke. CHAPTER XI . 1¾ you Waiting the Next Move. "Anse—Kelly, are either of there r There was the sound of chairs being pushed hastily back from a table, and rapid steps on the floor. "Yes; what's wrong? Have you found something?" "Sure; Bill an' I saw them; they were a tryin' ter git the boss; but afore either of us could fire, they sorter slipped 'long back o' ther fence, an' got away. It's darker'n hell out thar, an' Bill Bed fer me ter cum in yere an' tell yer that if you 'en Kelly wud cut across the road, an' sorter head the cusses off we'd bag the two easy."

Bill's followln' 'em up, an' all you got ter do is run 'long the road an' git ter the corner ahead o' 'em They can't go no other way." I caught a glimpse of the two as they crossed the lower hall hurriedly. The lamp flickered in the draft of the opened door, and one fellow swore roughly, as he stumbled over some obstacle. Then the door closed, and the flame steadied. In the silence we could hear again the beating of rain on the roof over head. "Who ,do you suppose they could have seen?" she asked. "Shadows likely enough. Let them hunt We know now the house is deserted, and can find more comfortable quarters—perhaps even slip away before anyone returns. You will go with mef* "Of course; I am not afraid of Tom Wyatt" We passed the ladder down slowly, and carefully, until the lower end rested securely on the floor below. If Nichols had recovered from the effect of the severs blow, he had made no sound, and I had almost forgotten his presence I drew back, and permitted the lady to descend first holding the upper supports firmly until her feet touched the floor. It was a struggle for me to force my larger bulk through the narrow opening, but I succeeded finally, and stood beside her. In the brighter light I could perceive mors clearly ths expression of the girl's face, realised the friendliness of bar eyes. My frank confession had woS me her confidence; no matter where her sympathy might be in this war straggle my allegiance to the cause of ths South was no serious barrier between us; oven the fact that I waa SMsquerading there in a stoles uniform and under an assumed name, had not greatly changed her trust In an old playmate.

"And where will you go?" "Why," In surprise. MI could not leave you alone until I placed you In the care of friends." "At Lewisburg, you mean?" "If that is where you wish to go." Her eyes met mine frankly, but with an expression In their depths I failed to fathom. "Not wearing that uniform," she said qutotly, "or under the name of Lieutenant Raymond. Do not misunderstand.

"There are Federal troops at Lewisburg. They know me, and their commander la aware of my acquaintance with the officer whose name you have assumed." "Yet In a measure, at least you trust me? 1 want you to consider me a personal friend." "Why I do," her eyes opening widely. "It is for your own protection I refuse your escort to Lewisburg. I am a traitor to my flag not to take you there, and surrender you a prisoner. If—if I did not care I would. Hark! That was a shot!" "Yes, and another; they sound to the west of the house." "In the orchard, beyond the stable. Can there really be someone hiding there?" "They are certainly firing at something— there speaks another rifle farther south. Those fellows will he back presently, and we must be out of their way. What room is that beyond the chimney?" "It was used by the housekeeper. Do you know where Parson Nichols was. left?" "In the room at the head of the stairs; why yes, your room. Could they have killed the man?" I pushed open the door, which stood slightly ajar, and looked In. Nichols had partially lifted himself by clinging to the bed, and his eyes met mine. The marks of the savage blow with which Cowan had floored him, were plainly evident and the man appeared weak and dased. Yet he Instantly recognised me, and crouched hack in terror. I stepped Into the room, and gripped his collar. "Stand on your feet, man! Oh, yea, yon can; you're a little groggy yet as doubt, but with strength enough for that Come; 111 hold you. Now, ost into the halL Miss Harwood, may I trouble yon to open that door—yea, ths housekeeper's room; well hide ourselves in there. By Jove, that sounds tike a regular volley!" I pushed the man forward, and flung him down os the bed, still retaining my grip on his collar. "Not a move, or a sound, Nichols! Attempt to betray us, asd your Ufa is aot worth ths snap of a finger.

Most naval air mechanic's are accomplished swimmers, and possess a constitution of iron. When the navy's great seaplanes are launched the mechanics generally have to wade up to their necks into the water to maneuver the machine from the shore. To plunge into icy-cold water in the half light of dawn is not a pleasant task, yet it is one which the sailor mechanics have to carry out almost dally. In rough seas the waves break over their heads, and the seaplane they are maneuvering is tossed about like a cork. Yet in true naval spirit the mechanics of the naval air service carry out their hazardous duties cheerfully.

SHADE TREES FOR BEAUTY By J . W. G R I F F I N . In selecting a list of trees to plant for shade on yonr lawn or along the avenue or near the house, make a note of the character of the Boll and plant accordingly. If yon are planning a home In the lowlands, where It Is damp and where fogs hang on the better part of the morning, "cut tt out," sell out. get out. do anything to get out, and go up higher If possible.

I have It that the following gives good results: Where the trees to be set out are larger than two or three year old trees. 1 dig a hole four feet wide each way and two feet deep some time during the late fall or early winter The top soil rs thrown on one side, the subsoil on the other. The combined actions of the rain. freezing and thawing, produce a good effect on the i*oil thrown out. and upon the sides of the hole. The trees to be set out are proeured during the fall and are heeled IN THE GARDEN Do not make the mistake of planting magnolias In the autumn. Where they thrive there Is nothing more showy than the Chinese varieties. The flow e n appear about the same time as the crocuses and tulips In the spring. The spring Is a better time for planting. Do not permit any weeds to go to seed. Better not allow the seed pods to form. Go carefully over the garden these fall days and clear out every wood. Will save lota of trouble nest In a protected place and are ready at any time they are wanted. A few days of sunshine and windy weather In early spring put the mounds of earth beside the holes In fine shape to put in around the trees. The trees may be set out two or three weeks before the surrounding soil will do to cultivate. First, strawy manure Is tramped six inches deep in the bottom of the holes, then about six Inches of the top soil is thrown in. leaving a little mound In the center of the hole upon which the center or taproot should rest. The finer or side roots are spread out around the little mound, more of the top soil Is thrown In and packed tightly around the roots, filling up all air spaces and holding them in proper place. ' "Next, some rotten straw, not manure, Is thrown in, then the rest of the soil is tramped well around the trees. I do not use any manure next to the roots of the trees. The manure is scattered around the trees, the rain takes the fertility down to the roots and the solid matter, while rotting serves as a mulch. The above method, If closely followed, will take a tree through the first summer, which is the most critical part of the life of a tree. Get them started right The way is easy. A bad start causes much trouble and delay. Destroy the webs of the fall web worms wherever they are found. Right now Is the time to arrange for cold frames for flowers and for the small greenhouse for winter gardens. At a moderate cost small greenhouses can be bought complete with heating apparatuses.

These cormels produce the same kind as the corms they are taken from and flowering the second or third year from planting— rarely the first year. When seeds are sown they will produce hardly two sorts alike, and many will be worth keeping, but there may be some fine new sorts. The seedlings will flower the second or third year. It is much more satisfactory to buy the cream of other people's seedlings than to fill the garden with a lot of poor sorts. ! Plant In full sunshine, but not against the south side of a wall and away from the roots of trees, In wellprepared soli, a mellow, sandy loam preferred, and one retentive of moisture.

If the soli be stiff or clayey put sandy loam in the furrow.

The dairy division of the United States department of agriculture has been investigating the different types of icehouses in use by dairymen, and has studied the advantages of each type. Only a small number of the Icehouses examined by the department's specialists were built of new lumber. In many instances ice was stored in the cellar under the house or barn, or in the corner of some building, such as a woodshed, corncrib, or barn, or under the driveway leading to the barn, and occasionally tt was simply stacked outdoors with no roof for protection. Where the ice was stored In cellars, open sheds or in stacks, the loss from melting was comparatively large, depending on the ventilation, drainage and care In packing. Where the cost of harvesting ice is a small Item, dairymen often say that it is less expensive to store in such places than to go to the expense of building* an up-to-date Icehouse. Where ice is stacked outdoors and covered with some form of Insulation, it is necessary to put up from 30 to 50 per cent more than the amoun* previously allowed, so as to provide for the heavy shrinkage. The ice should be stored as near the milkhouse as possible, in order to save labor in removing it to the milk tank. A great many dairymen find it an advantage to have the milk room in one end of the icehouse. In this way the cost of a separate tankhouse is eliminated. The small amount of time and labor required to transfer the ice to the cooling tank generally acts as an added incentive for the free use of ice. It is highly Important that the milk room, whether combined with the icehouse or 'standing alone, be located so that objectionable odors will be avoided. In comparing the different methods of storing ice, it was found that where the cost of ice was comparatively high it was advisable to spend enough money In building and Insulating the icehouse to protect the Ice from melting aa much as possible, but In cases where the cost of the Ice was small it appeared that the owners were often justified in building a cheaper storage with a relatively high loss of Ice from meitage. The dairyman therefore should consider both the cost of construction and the coat of the ice in selecting the type most suitable for his requirements. Some farmers store their ice in roughly constructed bins. One of this sort was seen, made by placing large posts of irregular sites three feet in the ground and about four feet apart, and upon these were nailed a miscellaneous lot of boards; no roof was provided. The shrinkage was reported from 30 to 50 per cent Ice might be stored in this manner for some pur- Farmer's Icehouse Wivh Milk Room. more a bin of this sort is vary unsightly and Is an Indication of slack methods In farming. Where Ice is cheap and building material high, it. might be permissible as a temporary arrangement; but it la not so economical a method, as may appear at first sight, for the cost of the ice lost In the shrinkage would generally amount to more than the interest on the cost of constructing a serviceable icehouse. An instance was observed In which a corner of a woodshed, about twelve feet square and ten feet high, had been converted Into an ice shed. This corner of the woodshed had been, roughly* boarded up and about 14 inches of sawdust placed around the Ice on all Bides, top, and bottom. The cost of the building was very little, and the shrinkage was reported at about 20 per cent The owner stated that softwood sawdust Is a much better insulation than hardwood s a w dust The icehouse in the Illustration measures 15 by 20 feet on the out | side and 8 feet high. At the front or south eni a room 15 by 6 feet is partitioned off and used for a milk room. The remaining space, lb by 14 feet by 8 feet high, after allowing for 6 inches of wall, 12 Inches of sawdust on t i e sides, 12 inches on the bottom, and 18 Inches on the top, will provide space for about 17 tons of- Ice. This house is built on high, sloping ground, whero the soil is porous, consequently tho drainage is satisfactory. The foundation is made of concrete (mixture I to 6), 1¼ feet wide at the bottom and sloping gradually until the top measures 8 inches. The sills which rest on the, foundation are 6 by 6 inches, upon which are—erected 2 by 6 Inch studding with 24-inch centers. On the top of the studding rests a 2 by 6 inch plate, and the studs are sheathed lnride and outside with rough boarding. The outside is then covered with weatherboarding. The roof has a two-thirds pitch and is constructed of 2 by 4 Inch rafters, 24- lnch centers, hoarded and covered with shingles. In each gable is located a slat ventilator, 2½ by 1½ feet which w<th the high pitch of the roof allows for an abundance of free circulation of air over the lee. The milk room is provided with two glass windows 3¼ by 2 feet oae in each end. The milk room is provided only with a movable toe-water tank, 3½ by 4 by 3 feet In which are placed the cream cans. A rope and pulley which are fastened to the celling are used in taanafening the lea from the icehouse up and over the wall and lowering H into the tank. The material and labor for constructing this combination milk- and Icehouse amounted to $125.

Innovations Sot Forth by Worth Have Been Accepted as Setting Forth Styles of Season—For After* noon and Evening. An attractive feature in some of the very new gowns is the introduction of trains that hang from the waist. Worth is responsible for this innovation. That house has always liked the ceremonial in clothes, going in strongly far the dignified English effects, as the founder was an Englishman. The uncle who runs the bouse 1B opposed to many of the modern features of clothes; the exploiting of new ideas through manikins at public places was never allowed, and well-known members of the half world were not allowed in the house. When one knows Paris and knows how much courage it required, and monetary loss it involved, to insist upon these eliminations, then one can get a bird's-eye view of the dignity of the house of Worth. It may not have paid, com? mercially or artistically, but it exiBts. Now that the firm has closed its historic London house, the Paris creations may become more eminently French, but, so far, there Is no evidence of It. Only America matters now with the makers of clothes, and Worth believes, rightly, that there is a large number of Americans who do not like the /modern tendency toward girlishnesa and frivolity in clothes, especially for those whose youth has gone. The evening gowns which he advances for this winter have their cascaded trains lined, at the sides with satin in a pale color. Someone who wanted a simple gown from which was eliminated the gewgaws that spot the surface of most of the Watteau frocks, asked Worth if he could make it. His answer was a pinkish red velvet without a touch of ana other color or trimming on i t The deep decolletage was cut in the English man- TIPPERARY HAT 8¾^¾^¾¾^¾¾¾¾ tew The Tipperary Hat is a Stovepipe Affair, Trimmed W i t h Green Shamrocks and Was Made Especially for Miss Harrison by Paquin of Paris.

Our sketch shows a useful little article to be used for this purpose in the place of the towel, that can be made in spare moments from almost any small remnants of material, and that can take its place upon the dressing table. . It is made of silk, and bound at tfe edges with narrow ribbon anfi lined with soft wash leather, it is cut out in the shape shown in diagram C, and measures six Inches in length and three inches in width when spread out quite flat It folds together in the center in the manner shown in diagram B, and diagram A shows the way in which it can be used to wipe the razor.

MEXICAN POLICY DEAD Demonstration Culminates in Great Mass Meeting at Board of Commerce Where speakers Are Heard. Detroit—Michigan's new Wolverine Pavedway, which is to connect Detroit with Grand Haven, was the subject of talks by men of prominence throughout the state at a mass meeting held at the Detroit Board of Commerce, Friday night, as the culmination of a demonstration to create enthusiasm for the new trans-4tate highway In which boosters from every town on the road between Detroit and Grand Haven took part George F. Moody, of the Newcomb- Bndicott company, of Detroit, delivered the address of welcome to the highway boosters and then turned the meeting Noxer to E. C. Shields, of Lansing, who introduced the speakers of the evening and presided at the session. The speakers included W. K. Prodden, president of the Wolverine Pavedway organization, of Lansing; Philip T. Colgrove, president of the Michigan State Good Roads commission, of Hastings; Patrick H. Kelly, congressman from the sixth district, of Lansing; Oerit J. Diekema, of Holland; Robert Dunn, attorney for the Cook County Good Roads' committee, Of Chicago; Fred L. Smith, of Lansing and Charles P. Downey, director of the pavedway organization, of Lansing. Mr. Downey was presented with a silver loving cup by Mr. Smith, as a tribute of the high esteem in which he is held by the boosters of the new highway. The delegation of boosters arrived in Detroit about 5:30 o'clock Friday evening and more than 1,000 automobiles were in line when the procession passed the intersection of Grand River avenue and the boulevard. The boosters were given the warmest reception they have received since the inception of the new road plan. Banquets were held In various hotels throughout the city and the festivities culminated in a mass meeting at the Detroit Board of Commerce at 8 o'clock. Throughout the entire trip the way was littered with signs having some connection with the movement for the pavedway. In Livingston county the signs were not only plentiful, but some of them were unique. This county has let the contract, by townships, for 27 miles of state reward gravel road which is to be laid next spring. The reception at Howell was featured by the distribution of hot coffee among the occupants of the cars, while at Farmington former Governor Fred M. Warner passed out cheese from his dairy farm. At Howell, too, the speaking engagement was somewhat enlivened by a yell duel between the Howell high school students and the M. A. C. band. To make sure that they were the winners, the band drowned its doughty opponents out with "Michigan, My Michigan." MUERAL POTASH FOUND M UTAH FIRST TIME THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN PRODUCED IN THE UNITED STATES. UNE MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT America Has Been Importing This Mineral From Germany in Largo Quantities for Many Year*. 8IR LIONEL CARDEN. London—Sir Lionel Edward Greeley Carden, who was British minister to Mexico from 1913 until August, 1914, when he was forced to leave Mexico City by Gen. Carranza, after the overthrow of President Huerta, died in London Saturday. Sir Lionel was best known in this country as minister to Mexico, where he came Into prominence during the trying days following the assumption of power by Gen. Huerta, Previous to this, he had held many offices, most of them in the Latin speaking countries of Americas. He was said to favor Huerta and to have severely criticized the United States for withholding recognition of the dictator. LARGE SUMS FOR DEFENSE Washington—Production for the first time In the United State* of commercial mineral potash, for which in the past Americans have spent millions of dollars abroad annually, was announced Sunday night by Secretary Lane, of the Interior department. A report had Just reached the department from a special agent of the geological survey telling how, b y a simple process, potash had been produced from alunite found in a great vein In Piute county, Utah. As alunite' is known to exist in large quantities in Utah, Colorado, Nevada, California and Arizona, Mr. Lane believes the discovery assures the country of an adequate supply of potash for agricultural purposes and for use in the manufacture of explosives. Statistics show that imports of potassium salts from Germany amounted to $15,000,000 in 1913, the last year for which figures are available. The Utah alunite experimented with Is in a vein 10 feet wide which has been traced for about 3,500 feet Us MARKET QUOTATIONS Live Stock.

Washington—Estimates of government expenditures for the next flsoal year, totaling about $1,240,000,000, and the largest ever submitted in time of peace, were presented Friday to the secretary of the treasury. The extraordinary large sum of money which congress will be asked to appropriate for running the government is .due to tbe> prospective big increase in' the administration's program of national defense and to the unusual conditions resulting from the European war. The estimated Increase for national defense alone aggregates $150,000,000, while burdens entailed on account of the war will require an increase of about $1,300,000 for the state department Estimates for the other departments, except state, war and navy and possibly commerce, are about the same as last year. Secretary Redneld, it Was believed, would ask for increased funds for extending American trade abroad. Additional governmental revenues will be necessary, either through legislation or a bond issue, if congress approves of the increased departmental expenditures. Although no estimate of receipts for the fiscal year beginning July 1, l i l t , in which the increased expenditures will take effect has been made by Secretary McAdoo, officials now are convinced they cannot count on more than $760,000,000 for the twelve months, and some believe the total Income will not go over $700,000,000.

I >-'*&? CHAPTER VIII—Continued. I thrust £tm opening, and exxjr. The girl n a table, and, eyes met mine. Suppose they—they fail to come?" she questioned. "He could not get out; he might die in there." "Little danger of their not coming. Anyhow I prefer risking that fellow's life rather than yours. Is he really a preacher?" "Yes; he has a church at the Crossroads. I heard him preach at a camp meeting. He was here before when Tom's wife died, and conducted the funeral." "Tom? One of the servantsT" "Yes, my father's body servant He accompanied him to the army." The tears rushed to her eyes, dimming them, and her hand touched my sleeve. "Oh, lieutenant, do you really suppose he has beetf allied?" "We can only hope," I answered, catching my breath quickly. "Nichols may have told that for a purpose—a desire to make you feel he]piesB and alone. But we cannot stand here and talk. You know the way and can guide us in the dark, can you not? It will be safer not to leave the lamp burning." I blew the light out without waiting for an answer, and took her hand in mine. "Now you must lead," I said softly. "We will go down the back stairs." We slipped out into the hall toller clasp on my fingers warm d I closed the door nd us. My hand enbaluster rail, and she single step downward, when we heard a voice below, and the crash of what was probably the stock of a rifle on the outer door. A second blow fell, followed by the sound of splintering wood. The voice came sharper, clearer; I could distinguish the words. "Now, once more. Kelly! There's nothing to be afraid of, man. Break it a foot lower down, so I can reach the key. Where Is Anse? Do you know, Jake?" "He an' Bill are *round front,** some fellow answered hoarsely. "Thar's busted winder thar, Yer light np stairs didnl ycrr "Sure—the gurl's yere it don't look aa if the he got af< tar aho 8he little fit expression in this outrage under the guise of war. With the major dead* and his only child married to Anse Cowan—whether by force, or otherwise—the account would be closed. Once legally this villain's wife all her Inheritance would be in his control. Death, even, was far preferable to falling alive into their hands. I felt Instinctively that It would be her choice. She had uttered no sound, no cry after that first startled exclamation. Suddenly her hands grasped mine in which I gripped the revolver. "Do not Bhoot—not yet!" she whispered, the sound of her words barely audible. "Wait; there is one chance still that we may deceive them." "A way leading out? You mean a secret passage?" "No, but a spot where we might hide, and be overlooked. I am sure none of these men know this house; Anse Cowan has never been inside of It, and mbst of the ruffians with him are from beyond the mountains. If they do not find us here when they search, they will believe we have escaped." "They will discover the preacher," I protested, yet with a faint throb of hope. "He will be heard from presently, and they will learn the truth from him." "All he knows—yes; but that is not much. He cannot be sure that we have not had time in which to get safely away." She drew me back, and I yielded to the grasp of her hand. The darkness was intense, but she moved swiftly and surely, aa though knowing Intimately every inch of the way; her fingers touching mine were warm and firm, no, longer trembling. The door In front crashed, and an oath rumbled upward; to the rear a light flashed, its reflection reddening the stair. Aided by its distant flicker we raced back down the upper hall to where It narrowed. A ladder stood there leading upward to a small scuttle above. Instantly my mind grasped her plan— the attic! If we could attain the attic unseen, drawing the ladder up after us and lowering the cover over the hole, our presence in the house might remain unsuspected. "I see what you mean," I said, swiftly. "Go up first, Miss Noreen—hurry." She crept through the narrow scuttlehole, her supple, slender body finding easy passage. With two blows of my boot I loosened the supports, freetrick oa me and squealed to the girl?" "Hanged if I know," was the sullen reply. "But it don't look like thar was a soul in the house." I felt her hand touch mine softly, and bent my head until her lips were at my ear. "That was Anse Cowan," she whispered. "I recognize that voice. What do you suppose they will do now?" My fingers tightened their grip; the men below had moved on, their voices grumbling along the halL "They will discover the preacher presently," I said, endeavoring to make my words as reassuring as possible. "I only wonder they have overlooked him so long; I supposed he would make an outcry." She drew in her breath sharply, and sat up. The movement was noiseless, but in the instant of Intense silence which followed, we heard below us the sudden sound of struggle, a muffled voice calling for mercy, the shuffling of a body being hauled forward across the.floor. Then someone ran along the hall, passing just beneath us. "What have you found, Kelly?" It was Anse's voice roaring out the ques tion. "Ah! the old fox dug out of his hole, hey! Now see here, you canting old Baptist hypocrite, what kind of a trick is it you are playing on me? Stand him up there boys, against that rail. Stop your howling, or I'll smash you one in the face. Where did you find the fool, Jack?" "Locked in a closet yonder; looks like it,might be the girl's room. The darn fool is too skeered ter talk yet" "Well, 111 make him, er else tharni be a dead preacher in 'bout a minute, I reckon as how 111 do as much steering as anyone. Now, Nichols, ye see thet! Whut the devil wns yer doing in thet closet?" "They—they done put me thar. Anse." "Go on. Who wus yere beside the girl when yer cum ?" "A Yankee leftenant, a cavalryman I reckon from ther yellow stripes on his legs." "A Yank! Did yer hear the fellar*s name?" "Damn if I'm sure; he's a right good slsed man, an' not bad lookin'. Pears to me, now I think of It, she called him Raymond." There was a gasping sound aa though Anse's hand had closed again heavily on the fellow's throat "Raymond! I reckon yer lyln' ter me, parson. Yer heard tell o' thet feller over in camp, an' ther.name stuck. Twont be healthy fer yer ter play no game yere." "I ain't Anse. Quit a chokln' me. I never heard tell o' no Yank named Raymond afore. Be thar one 'round yere?" "Wall, thar was, but I don't reckon thar Is now," doubtfully. "Last I heerd tell o* him he wus over in Payette a ridin* like hell fer Charleston. Monte's band picked him up, an' he didn't find this kentry none too healthy fer his line o' business, which was recruitin'— whut'* that, Kelly?" "Better let ther preacher tell his story, Anse. We're losin' a lot o' time; I reckon thar must a bin some kind o' male critter yere; 'taint likely ther girl locked him up alone, an' it don't make no odds whut the Yank's name was, nohow." "Go on, Nichols; whut happened? Tell us the whole of i t but make it short" The preacher drew In a long breath. evidently relieved to have the pressure of Anse's murderous, fingers removed from his throat He sputtered a bit as he began to tell his story and there were muffled words we could not distinguish. Occasionally someone of his auditors interrupted with an oath, or exclamation. He spoke faster as he proceeded, as though feeling less fear, and eager to have the task over. Finally Cowan interjected a brief question. "You damn coward! Did you tell?" "Honest Anse, I don't jest know; but I reckon I did spit it most out fer he'd a killed me if I hadn't" "Do yon mean to say you told them I was comin' yere tonight an' goto' fer tar make the girl marry me—yo* whinin'cur?"

Anse must have completely lost bis temper, for there was the sound of a blow, and the noise of a falling body, feet shuffling as the others drew back. Then a moment of silence. "Pick the ol' fool up," said a voice. "Throw him back Into the room thar. Maybe he'll hev sum sense when he wakes up.

We heard their feet on the stairs, and the light, which had streamed up through the crack in the scuttle, faded away, leaving us in utter darkness. CHAPTER X. The Recognition. I began to understand the state of affairs now, piecing this and that together, lying there in the darkness, listening for some sound of guidance from below. I could hear the soft breathing of the girl at my Side, but she did not speak or move. She had overheard all that was said; she must also realize fully the object of these men, and the desperation of our position. Would she continue to trust me? To believe in my purpose, or had the words of betrayal spoken by Anse Cowan and Kelly left a sting of suspicion behind? If they had, would 1 dare to confess the truth, fully reveal my identity, and thus leave the fate of my secret mission in her hands? Her sympathies must naturally be with the Union forces; she would see the Issues from the viewpoint of her father. That would have nothing to do with these banditti, but later might greatly interfere with the work to which I had been assigned. I had two duties to perform—to the army, and to this helpless girl; which was paramount if by any chance they clashed? I could not answer, but I did comprehend which came first—I must save Noreen Harwood from the merciless clutch of Anse Cowan. I must remain with her loyally, until she was safe In the protection of friends. Possibly 1 could accomplish this, and still retain my secret "Is there any other way out of here. Miss Noreen?" I asked, scarcely above a whisper, "any opening leading to the roof?" "I have never seen one, though often up here when I was a child." "Then our only means of escape is by the ladder, and we dare not venture that until assured those fellows have really left Do yoa hear any sound bekrwr Wo both listened tn breathless silence, but ao noise reached as with any distinctness.

I was bothered with Kidney trouble and lame back for some three years; had taken medicine from several doctors but without effect. I finally tried Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and after taking three bottles was completely cured. I have also recommended it to several friends who have been completely cured of kidney and bladder trouble. In one case a friend of mine in Toledo '*x>k two bottles of Swamp-Root% which dissolved a stone in his bladder. He has nr*% been troubled since. Also a friend in spring* field, Ohio, who was employed at the Springfield Metallic Casket Company, was completely cured of kidney trouble after taking Swamp-Root.

One of these is In Buffalo, and when the bell rang the other day, she went to the door, where she found some ladies. "My dear," said one, "will you please tell your mother that we would like to see her*' The child departed silently, and after a while returned, sat down and silently watched tffe callers. "Well," said one at length, "and what did mamma say?" "She said, Oh, dear! I don't want to, but I 8'pose I must.'" Independence.

A Laviahnaaa of Bloom Scarcely Believable. G R O W HARDY ROSES By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN. The season of bloom of the "hybrid perpetual" can be greatly extended by Intelligent cultivation and a proper •election of varieties. The sturdy bushes should carry their beautiful flowers way into the fall. We have come to think of roses In the fall aa a delusion and a snare, excepting, of course, the hybrid teas, which have so long been regarded In America as the only everhloomlng roses. There are, however* a good dozen and a half that can be relied upon to give a aec* ond crop of bloom and be a thing of beauty in August and September. The FYau Karl Druschkl, one of the •ery best and moat popular plants ever raised, has done more to redeem hardy rose culture than any other hybrid perpetual class. It adapts Itself to almost any soil, and stands unique as a hardy white rose of Its class.

FERNS EASY TO RAISE By L. M. BENNINGTON. The ordinary way to propagate this class of plants Is by dividing the plant, by the creeping rhizomes, by the little bulblets that form on the fronds and by the seeds or spores that appear on the underside of the leaves. The enterprising fern lover will find it most Interesting to propagate by spores and perchance produce a really valuable addition to these beautiful and graceful plants. Procure a seed pan or box with plenty of drainage holes, and cover the bottom with broken crockery. On this place half-decayed sod and Rll with carefully mixed and sifted leaf mold and sand. Make the surface of the soil perfectly smooth and level, and then scatter the spores on It and leave them without any covering, that la, of Boil. However, they must be inclosed in glass by placing a pane of glass over the seed box or pan. Water by placing the seed pan in water, and keep ft there until the water appears on the surface of the * 1 Then remove at once, for too much water will destroy the spores. Keep the box in the light but not in the sun, for ferns naturally grow in shady places. Follow nature's lead. Charming Modal. Recently Seen In France la Described by Correspondent-* Postilion Hat 8ure to Be a Favortte. Several notable Parisian dressmakers are reviving the long tunic. Some of the latest Callot models give thiseffect; Redfern also seems to favoi the long, graceful tunic But in ai) cases the underdreas is quite as fun as the tunic; indeed, the latter gives the effect of a double skirt, or lm mensely long flounce. A Callot model, recently worn at j. Biarritz by the dachess de Arlon, lady Tri-waiting to the queen of Spain, had an uncferdress of black charmeuse and a very long tunic of old yellow lace. On the hips, under the lace tunic, there was a deep insertion of silver lace, worked over with tiny beads In various shades of red, blue and gray. There were full lace sleeves, caught in at the wrist by bands of beaded silver lace, and a touch of rose pink was very cleverly introduced on the corsage. With this charming gardenparty dress the duquesa wore a large, flat-brimmed hat, made or black chiffon and lined with black chip Lewis is showing many lovely hats and toques. At first sight these mod els are quite startling, because in ai most all cases the crowns are high, some of them even exaggeratedly high. The very newest and most popular model is the "Postilion" hat in black silk beaver. This Is truly a.quaint shape. Narrow in the brim and very high in the crown, with no trimming save a folded drapery drawn through a long diamond buckle; the latter being placed right in front of the hat. It is certain that this model will be one of the most fashionably novelties of the fall and winter seasons. It Is just the right hat to wear with a Cossack coat; or with a redingote costume which is finished with a jer- **. *w WOMAN REFUSES OPERATION Saves Steps.

Perforated Tin Plate. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) I— ha d they been allowed to develop, Wheat growers In this country not Infrequently experience serious losses caused by preventable diseases. Wheat is preyed upon by a number of parasitic fungi, three of which are classed as smuts. Two of these smuts are common pests in the wheatfields of North America, the other, commonly known aa flag smut, Is thus far unknown to this continent, though It is fairly common in Australia and certain other parts of the world where wheat culture has been in progress for centuries, says the department of agriculture. Of the two smuts, bunt or covered smut of wheat, sometimes referred to as stinking smut, is found wherever wheat is grown, sometimes resulting In losses to the farmers of the United States of $20,000,000 or more annually. Not infrequently fields planted to untreated seed and giving promise of yielding 3d to 40 bushels per acre of good wheat, will produce a crop of covered smut amounting, in some cases, to as much as 40 to 60 per cent of the crop. This smut disease is caused by a parasitic fungus which attacks the growing wheat plant before the first * * MiQHQ POM**1 £HlCAOO [Cheap and big canBaJdngPowderado not ivayou money.

When the smut balls are crushed the Bpores give off an odor not unlike that of herring brine. The liberated spores become attached to the seed, which, if planted without previous treatment, may produce another crop of smutted wheat. Treat Seed With Formalin. Bunt or covered smut of wheat is one of the most easily prevented of any of the cereal diseases. The following procedure is recommended: Run all seed wheat through a fanning mill in order to blow out the unbroken smut balls. This being done, the grain should be soaked ten minutes in a solution consisting of one pound of commercial formalin (obtainable at nearly all drug stores) added to 40 gallons of water. The seed thus treated is next allowed to drain and is then piled on the floor and stirred frequently until uufficiently dry to sow. If, during Als process, the kernels have swollen very much, the drill should be set to sow a little thicker, else the quantity sown per acre will be less than was intended. Rotation In Severe Cases. Recent experiments have shown that in certain sections of the country the soil of a field producing a crop of smutted wheat this year may harbor enough smut spores to cause the appearance of smut in next year's crop if the field be reseeded to whoat. This sometimes occurs, where smut is very bad, in spite of the planting of treat ed seed, and shows that in such lor alities crop rotation should be practiced in addition to seed treatment. Bunt or covered smut of wheat attacks no other cereal crop, but other cereals have their own smut diseases The other wheat smut occurring in this country, known commonly as loose smut, is not so serious as bunt, although it probably produces an average loss of three-fourths of one per cent of the total wheat crop of the country. Loose smut may be prevent ed by treating the seed by the Jensen hot-water method or some modification of it The Jensen method consists In soak ing the seed for ten to fifteen minutes in hot water at a temperature of 132 to 133 degrees, Fahrenheit. It is high ly important that the water shall not rise over 135 degrees or fall below 130 degrees. Fahrenheit. A temperature below this will not kill the smut, while a temperature too high may affect the germination of the seed. The grain after treatment should be immediately spread out to dry. If it cannot be spread at once it should be dipped into cold water to cool at once, and spread as soon as possible. Determine Value of Cow. To determine the value of a cow it 1s necessary to measure her milk flow and also to test her milk for butterfat A cow producing 40 pounds of S per cent milk and one producing 20 pounds of 6 per cent milk give equal amounts of butter.

Don't fail to tell the editor how to run the paper. He has nothing to do but to listen and keep his temper sweet. —Dun11 put your name to what you want published. It's the editor's business to espouse unpopular causes aud take your chestnuts out of the fire. What hurts your business might also hurt his-bnt that's different. Don't notify the editor when you change your postoffice address. He might lose track of you and you will escape paying the last two or three years of your subscription. Don't forget to write on both sides of the paper. The printers might forget to swear. Don't write your communications legibly. Deciphering them keeps the editor busy and he is able to make an occasional blander, which promotes good feeling all around. Don't imagine that the newspaper has anything to do. Newspapers run themselves and the ravens feed the printers. Woodbury, Conn., Reporter. V AID Arbor Optician UeRoy Lewis will Test Byes Here Oct. 1st.

CoMtf as More going elsewhere DDDDDDa How to G«t It Saodsd In Good Shape In August or Early 8«ptomber. A considerable number of farmers have become interested in the alfalfa crop during the laat three months, aaya the Iowa Homestead in some eases this is the result of farm t o o n made by agricultural college workers, and in other case* men have suddenly become ambitious to get a stand of alfalfa because they have seen their neighbors taking from the land a crop ranging in value anywhere from $50 to $100 per acre. To all such we will say that under certain circumstances it is practical to prepare land that has produced an oat or barley crop and get the alfalfa seeded In good shape in August or early in September. One must go at it in earnest, hotrevcr. It will generally pay in the flrat instance to disk the Conditions 8urrounding Young Birds ' Should Not Bo Too Artificial. , [Prepared by the United States department of agriculture.] j Turkeys are classed as domestic : fowls, yet they are semldomestic when [ compared with other poultry. For this reason the treatment given them must r differ from that given to other poultry, I t o d the houses or coops that will serve I for the latter will not meet the wants j of the turkey. In localities where tur- ' keys are grown In great numbers sucj cess has been attained by those who J allow their turkeys much freedom. ; On the other hand, farmers have ob- ! tained equally good results when following quite the reverse methods.

BARNARD Th* stubble land just as soon as the cereal crop is removed. It may pay to disk It twice and then plow it four or five inches deep. It pulverizes better if it Is disked before plowing. Those who are afraid of doing a little extra work in fitting the soil should never under take the growing of alfalfa, because it | is a crop that needs a little petting. After plowing it still requires considerable labor on the surface to bring the seed bed into good shape. If the ground is cloddy it will need many harrowings, and in some cases it is necessary to alternate the roller with the barrow in order to smash the lumps. It is generally a good plan to harrow the surface every few days until seeding time, because this tends \ to conserve moisture, and It firms the soil so that you have a friable, yet a ' rather solid seed bed. j When it comes to seeding use about \ twenty pounds of seed per acre. Some 1 growers like the plan of sowing half j this amount of seed In one direction I and half in the opposite direction In j order to be sure that none of the j ground la missed. | . It must not be assumed that follow \ ing the above outline is all that Is j needed in getting a stand of alfalfa. ' What we have said refers to the j preparation of the seed bed only, and i we infer that those who undertake to j grow the crop have determined in ad . vance whether thasr soil is sour or not j Where sweet clover grows well alfalfa | generally succeeds, because neither of these crops will thrive, where there is a large percentage of acid in the soil. If It has not been tested out with sweet clover a sample of the sefl j should be taken and tested for add. \ There Is no secret about this test Simply get a lifts* blue litmus paper at the drug sBsssV take a handful of the soil-stMBb sVBJBsnt places in the field. B 4 t S l B S S a a*>d ban around a gBNfeeaVsasssS fBper. In five or ten at Bae soil is acid, the paper If the paper turns out JB^tNtrtly^lue and partly pink this tNtaM indicate that there is some add present,, but possibly not enough to injure the crop. If the paper turns entirely pink in color it is quite likely that the land, for alfalfa, will need an application of from one to two tons of ground limestone per acre. As a general proposition it pays to start In with alfalfa on a small scale and ascertain the needs of the soil. Then, there is the matter of getting the soil properly inoculated, which may to done by the commercial cat* tares, which are applied to the seed, or tho same end can be attained by getting some soil from an old alfalfa field or from ground upon which sweet cktrer has grown. Unless the alfalfa organisms are In the eofl the crjp will have a delicate appearance and, as a matter of fact, it wfil nerer amount to nrach either for hay or for enidtteg t h e s o a It will be seen, therefore, that the starting In on the pwposluoa ** sag alfalfa Is not as snaps* a « It Bta to hecosao edaeaest to ftV -m ft K n o w i n g w h a t to do and when to do it is the most difficult part of turkey raising. All that one can r e a d and learn from others will not be a t as great value a.s a year's actual experience in cai;:iu for them However, a. s t a r t must h<> made in rearing turkeys, an i the more knowledge the farmer has ihe more likely he is to succeed. The picture shows a flocU of Huff turkeys. sential. The hen must have a houst or box in which she <"ui stand rrod and stretch her head and look out while caring for (he young poults. The floor should be clean ami dry. It may be of hoards, but dry, clean earth is best However, satisfactory results can never be obtained by handling turkeys like cagebirds or hothouse plants They do not do well when they receive too much attention, and the most successful farmer is the one who supplies most closely the natural environment for the birds. The turkey Is a ranging fowl by nature and does not need as much shelter and care as other poultry. They should never be shut in so close as to deprive them of plenty of light room and air. Overfeeding at any time is dangerous, and unnatural foods do not produce the desired results. In their wild state they ran about here and there, seeking small grains, seeds and bugs, getting plenty of exercise as well as food. In their domestic condition they are largely deprived of hunting their food, and consequently of much of the exercise. It must not be taken, however, that turkeys will entirely care for themselves. There are tiroes when the poults need attention. When they arc young and the caretaker enthusiastic poults are likely to receive too much attention. After the novelty wears off they are too often neglected just at the time when they should receive care. For instance, when their feathers are growing and the unusual heat overcomes them special care may be profit ably bestowed. Again, the same 1? true when the frost destroys their nat ural food in the fall. Nothing eqnals good sound grain of all kinds for feeding the growing turkeys. Do not use poor, shriveled or musty grain of any kind. It is a mistaken notion that it. will pay to feed inferior grain to «ny kind of growing fowl.

BULBS FOR NEXT SPRING It you would have rich beds of tulip or give the beds or the corners of your lawns a beautiful springlike yellow or white glow of narcissus, daffodil and jonquil, you must begin to think of the early spring appearance of your garden in the fall, for the bulbs of these two flowers must be planted in the fall before the ground is frozen. In fact, this work should be undertaken as soon as or before an early frost has begun to make the annual flowers in the beds look weakened. In dealing with narcissus, which is the family to which the daffodil and jonquil belong, it might be well to think of trying to naturalise the narcissus to grow and blossom on the lawn much as do the wild flowers. How to plant and handle the bulbs, as well as the best method of getting them to become spring residents of grassy corners, are described in the following directions issued by the bulb specialists of the United States department of agriculture: These bulbs should be planted in light, rich soil that has been dug to a depth of at least 10 inches. The tulip bulbs Bhould be set 5 Inches apart and 4 inches deep and the narcissus bulbs about 10 Inches apart and 5 inches deep. If they are to be grown in pots or window boxes, light, rich soil Bhould be used. Place one or two Inches of cinders or broken pots in the bottom of the pots or boxes to Insure good drainage. After planting, place the pots or boxes out of doors and cover them with about four inches of ashes or sand; or they may be placed in a dark, cool room or cellar for a few weeks until the bulbs have formed a quantity of roots. They may then be brought into the light and heat for flowering. Keep the soil well moistened from time of planting, but avoid overmoistening, for if kept too wet the bulbs will decay. Cultivation. If planted in beds, the surface of the •on should be loosened after each rain and the bed kept free from weeds. la the late fall or early winter months It is wall to cover the beds with a light mulch of straw or leaves to proton* Injury to the young roots from the alternate freezing and thawing of tho toO. This mulch should be gradually removed in sprint. ** soon as growth appears above ground. The balsa are quite hardy and are not injured by severe cold if tho soil is well drained. Lifting and Dividing, Tulip and narcissus plants are perennial, and if given proper care and grown under suitable soil and climatic .conditions will increase and multiply from year to year. The bulbs may remain in the ground two or three years, or until the clumps begin to crowd. After blossoming in the spring, from six to eight weeks should elapse to allow the foliage to die partially down, when the bulbs may be lifted with a spade or fork. Shake the soil from the roots and store the bulbs In a cool, shady place where they will ripen and cure. When tho old leaves and roots are thoroughly dry they may be easily rubbed off and the clusters of bulbs divided. The bulbs may then be planted in the same manner as the original bulbs. In this way the stock may be increased in a few years. Naturalizing the Narcissus, The narcissus often becomes naturalised when planted In the sod or partial shade, where It will continue to grow, blossom, and multiply for many years without further attsntlon. Gimply make a small hole in the soil five or six incheb deep, Insert the bulb pointed-end up, press the soil over the top, and nature will do the rest. For naturalizing, avoid planting in rows or rigid geometrical figures. A good plan is to Bcatter the bulbs like seed and plant where they fall. This method of planting is extensively followed in the home grounds and parks of England and other. countries In Europe. In portions or North Carolina, on large estates along the James river in Virginia, and in old gardens in New England a, narcissuses that were planted over half a «.entury ago are still growing vigorously and every spring produce beautiful displays of blossoms. AMONG THE FLOWERS Among summer blossoms none are greater favorites than the syringa or mock orange, the flowers being as fragrant, as beautiful. While the shrub itself is perfectly hardy, late frosts sometimes kill the buds; and an observing grower gives the rule that there will be orange blossoms when there are peaches. Calycanthns is a curious shrub, tho brownish blossom being odorous of strawberries; yet with so many beautiful as weH as fragrant blossoms it could scarcely head the list Purple fringe is an odd plant, the name smoke tree perhaps more accurately describing the appearance after midsummer, when the pedicles lengthen, branch and bear lone pwmy hairs, either greenish or tinged with red. The spigella is handsome when la bloom, the tabular bloeeosas of white, rose or purple being produced in pro* fusion. • variety with leaves variegated with goM is especially pleasing. Instead of planting in rows, the fancy is now to grown the shrubs sad the flowers for cutting.

Pr. Burkart Says Medical Profession Is y/pry Much in the Dark As to Cause of Malady. Lansing—The present outbreak of infantile paralysis in certain portions of the state is worrying the state board of health. The number of cases is on the increase and the state officials admit that they do not know how to cope with the disease. The action of Dr. Keho, of Bay City, in closing all schools Friday may be followed in .other places. According to the books of the st*te board of health there have been since January 1, 34 cases of the disease reported, the great majority of these since September l. Right now there axe 24 cases. Of these IS are in Flint, three in Bay City, three in Saginaw, three in the vicinity of Greenville, Montcalm county, and one each in Ann Arbor and Albion. Four deaths from the disease have reported since September. "Infantile paralysis," says Dr. Burkart, secretary of the state board, "can run wild much the same as diphtheria. Heretofore the theory has been advanced that dry weather would cause Its spread, but we certainly have had very little dry weather in this state. This only proves that the medical fraternity is much in the dark regarding the disease. "The board Is watching all these cases, and I am sending letters all over the state urging caution on the part of health officers. Schools should be watched very closely and action like that at Bay City should be taken wherever the disease breaks out. Isolation and strict quarantine are the only things we can suggest "I have no idea how the disease started in Michigan. I only wish I did. All we can do now is by strict enforcement of quarantine, keep it from spreading beyond our control." Files, especially stable flies, are believed to aid is spreading the disease.

Lansing—While the final estimated total yield of wheat this year in Michigan will not be made public until November, the report to the secretary of state for September, made public Thursday morning, comes pretty close to what will be the final figures. The average yield for the entire state is 20.18 bushels to the acre. The average for the southern counties is 21.17; the central counties, 21.16; the northern counties, 16.22, and the upper peninsula counties, 21.5S. During August and September, it is estimated that 1,750,000 bushels of wheat were marketed. No indication as to the condition of the wheat Is given. Estimates of the average yield of other products follow: Barley, 28.13 bushels; oats, 39.72 bushels; corn, 27.77 bushels; potatoes, 67.56 bushels; beans, 9.44 bushels, and sugar beats, 9.88 tons.

It became known Sunday that some of thex South American governments long before Saturday's conference had authorized their diplomatic representatives to favor the recognition of General Carranza in the Pan-American deliberations. President Wilson has received from- Secretary of State Lansing a report of the proceedings of the final conference, but several days ago he indicated to the secretary his acquiescence in the plan proposed. The form in which recognition is.to be accorded has not been decided, but it may be done by formal notification to Eliseo Arrendondo, authorized representative here of the Carranza government. Extension of recognition is expected soon. This will result in the immediate order of an embargo on arms against factions opposed to the Carranza government, a step which will materially weaken the resources of the Villa element, which intends to continue the fight in Mexico. Miguel Diaz Lombardo gave out a statement Sunday in behalf of the Villa faction In declaring that while it was a source of satisfaction that the United States has shown its sympathy with the Mexican Constitutionalist revolution against Huerta by recognizing a revolutionary faction, netertheless it was intended to demonstrate by further military operations that the Carranza party's supremacy was temporary. George C. Carrothers, American consular agent, telegrapher the state department the substance of a long interview he had with General Villa at Juarez, in which the latter explained, in line with utterances to the press Saturday night, that he Intended to continue fighting Carranza. No mention was made of withdrawing protection to foreigners as reported in press dispatches, but officials realize that the legal responsibility for protection of foreigners rests always with the recognized government for all parts of the country, whether In rebellion or not. Americans, for this reason, were recently advised to withdraw from northern Mexico, but many have Vailed to heed the state department's advice. The Washington government during the Taft administration took the position, however, that even when a recognized government existed in Mexico City, the leaders of rebellious factions personally were responsible for the acts of their followers and gave warning to that effect. This precedent probably will be followed In the event of difficulties now In northern Mexico.

CHAPTER VII—Continued. My lips were dry, but I nodded, half fearful 1 might be slipping into some trap, although her words and manner were surely innocent enough. "We were acquaintances, not friends," I replied, hoping the retort might cause her to change the subject. "Most of the boys seemed to like him. He was very pleasant to me. and I had a splendid time. I met one cadet named Raymond; he had dark hair and eyes." "Oh, yes," I managed to answer, now desperately alert "There was another in the class—JameB R., I believe." "I did not learn his first name, but when I heard that a Lieutenant Raymond was coming here, I hoped it might be he. That was why I was so deeply interested. It is not such a common name, you know." ~~ I made some answer, and she sat there silently, her face turned now toward the Are in the grate. The profile held me in fascination, as I wondered what these seemingly innocent questions could signify. Anyhow, let the truth be what it may, there was no other course left for me, but to keep on with the deception. I was In the heart of the enemy's country, In disguise, my life forfeit In case of discovery, and the time had not come when I could entrust her with so dangerous a secret The wind rattled the blinds, and the rain beat heavily against the side of the house. "The thought of venturing out into the storm, not knowing where I could seek shelter, was not an alluring one. htor had I any excuse to urge for immetMtte departure; Indeed as a gentleman and soldier my duty called me to remain for her protection. She could not be left alone in this desolate house. It was my steady gase that roused the lady from whatever dream the flames of the grate had given her. She turned her head to meet my eyes—then sat suddenly erect, the expression of her face instantly changing, as she stared beyond me at the open door. I wheeled about to look, startled at the movement A man stood in the doorway, water streaming from his clothes on to the floor.

I seek only converse with you. The young man is an officerT' "Yes—on recruiting service.*' "You know him wellf You trust him?" "I—1 have not known him long," she replied hesitatingly, and glancing back at me. "Yet I have confidence in him." The man did not answer, or move and, after a moment of silence, she asked. "Have you ridden far?" "From Lewisburg." "Lewisburg!" in surprise. "Then you knew I was here? You came seeking me?'* He turned on his stool, his eyes searching her face gravely. "On a mission of ministry," he replied solemnly, "although whether it prove of joy, or sorrow, I am unable to say. I am but an instrument." The man's reluctance to speak freely was apparent, and I stepped forward. "If you prefer conversing with Miss Harwood alone," I said quietly, "I will retire." "The words I would speak are indeed -of a confidential nature—" "No, no!" she broke in impulsively, her eyes of appeal turned toward me. "Do not leave us, lieutenant This man has nothing to say I am afraid to have you hear. He has not come here as a friend; there is some evil purpose in all this, which I cannot fathom." She faced him now, her Blender body poised, her eyes on his. "Tell me what it fs—this mysterious mission? Ay! and who sent you to find me? I will not believe it was my father." The minister rose to his feet, a tall, ungainly figure, his solemn face as expressionless as before, but a smoldering resentment was in his deep-set eyes. He possessed the look of a fanatic, one who would hesitate at nothing to gain his end. To me he was even repulsive in his narrow bigotry. "No, it was not your father," he said almost coarsely, "but it Is a part of my. mission to bring to you, young woman, the news of your father's death." "Death? My father dead?" she stepped back from him, her hands pressed against her eyes. Obeying the first instinct of protection, I stepped to support her as she seemed about to fall. "That cannot be! You He! I know you He! You were never his friend. You come here to tell me that to frighten me; to compel me to do something wrong." The man exhibited no trace of emotion, no evidence of regret his voice the same hard, metallic sound. "I expected this outburst" he continued unmoved. "Indeed, it is no more than natural But I harbor no resentment * • * in this hour freely forgive all. *B» timt taketh the sword, shall Jeffs* key Che sword/ and my CHAPTER V4II. •And you had BO other object ?" •Certainly not; what other could 1 possibly have had?" The man lied, and I knew it; the suave, soft tones of his voice Irritated me. The girl stood motionless, silent her breath coming in sobs. Then she turned her head slightly, and her eyes met mine. The piteous appeal in their depths was all I needed. With a grim feeling of delight, I took a step forward, and the muzzle of my revolver touched his breast "Now, Mister Preacheraaan," I said shortly, "we'U have done with this play-acting. Not a move!" --¾ The Jaws of the Trap. If eyes alone possessed the power to kill, his would have done the deed, but the face with which I confronted him was sufficiently grim to make him realise the danger of a movement He gave back a step, but my revolver pressed his side. "Don't try anything with me, Nichols," I said sternly, "you are either going to talk, or die. I'U give you one chance, and one only. I despise your kind, and will kill you with pleasure. Now answer me—who told you of Major Harwood's death?" "I have said already; the message was brought to Lewisburg by one of Ned Cowan's men." "Yes, so you did; but you never received it at Lewisburg. Oh, yes, I know something myself. The fact is you never came here tonight from Lewisburg. Now are you ready to talk to me? Oh! you are! Very weU, who sent you—Cowan?" I ran my gun muzzle hard into his ribs, and he nodded sullenly, his lips drawn back in a snarl. All the soft palaver had vanished, and he had become a cowed brute. "I thought so; you belong yourself to the Cowan gang?" "Not—not in their deeds of blood and violence," he protested. "The calls of my church compel me to minister to my scattered flock—" "Neser mind that kind of palaver, Nichols. Now what did he send you for?" I waited, my eyes on his. I could not see the girl, and dare not avert my gaze for so much as an instant. The man wet his lips, as if they were * f c t | a*m,fl'iii four days ago."

A sardonic smile flickered an instant on the preacher's thin lips. "No, but equally reliable; one of Ned Cowan's mountaineers. Captain Fox is a prisoner, wounded, and his men mostly dead." A moment she rests* unknowingly against my arm, bar face covered with her hands. There was that i s the man's words an* maimer which convinced her that he-spoke the truth. The face she finally lifted was whit* and drawn. The gin ha* changed to a woman. She stood erect alone, on* him* grasping the hack of a chair. •Yon say my father is dead—kflled,- she said, in steady, dear voioa, be that one or the other, yoa tonight, through this to you, Parse* NIchoaiT What ittfltty i s oa teotr -try dear young may," he •ssosltng his I Has Is the tost shook of this of The Muzzle of My Revolver Touched Hie Chest parched, and I could perceive the nervous movement of his throat.

"And if he cannot come himself he means to send others. What for? What does he want of the girl?" My hammer cHcked, and the man cringing hack, read the stern meaning of my face. A terrible suspicion surge* over me, and I was ready to kfll. He knew his life hang by a hair. "To—to marry her," the words barely audible. "Not old Nod—his son, X heard the startled exclamation of the girl behind me. "Ansa Cowan!" she cried, her voice fuB of undisguised horror. •Marry me Co that low brats.

Is that it, Nichols?" He muttered something inaudible. "Answer, you black-hearted cur; you have confessed too much to hide anything now. How many are coming with Anse Cowan?" "Maybe a half dozen of the boys. 1 don't know; they were talking about it when 1 left, and thought it was going to be a great lark." "Well, it is; you are finding that out already. When were they to be here?" I shook him to loosen his lagging tongue. "They were to ride out an hour after I did." I threw the wretch back into the chair before the fire, but held him still cowering before the point of my revolver. The dog had told us all he knew, and there was a snarl to his thin lips, drawn back and exposing his yellow teeth, showing that his only thought now was revenge. Any moment that gang of ruffians might appear, and I was helpless there alone to contend against them. I dared not move, dared not avert my gaze from the preacher; there was hatred and treachery in the depths of his eyes. "Is there a lock on the parlor door leading into the hall?" I asked. "A bolt—yes." "Please close and bolt it, and then come back here." I heard her turn and cross the room; caught the sound as she shot the bolt, and her light step again on the floor. "Now, something to tie this man with. We must be quick—the tablecloth will do! Sweep that clutter of dishes on to the floor. Good! Now cut me the cord from that picture." I had no thought of glancing about; I can scarcely conceive even now that I did, yet my eyes must have wandered an instant, for Nichols had the wrist of my pistol hand in his grip, and the revolver went spinning across the floor. There was a moment of fierce, breathless struggle. The fellow possessed no skill, but the wiry strength of a tiger. I found his eyes with my fist, and dazed, his hands released their grip, and I broke loose, my throat livid from his finger marks. The flap of a gray skirt touched my face, and a blow fell—the man went limp under me, his head upheld by the angle of the wall. I struggled to my knees, still staring at him, uncertain as to what had actually occurred, struggling for breath. The girl stood over me, white-faced, her eyes wide open with horror, the remnant of the teapot in her hand. Suddenly her hands covered her eyes, the fragment of crockery falling noisily to the floor. "I—I struck him," she sobbed, unnerved. "I—I have killed him!" "No such good luck," I answered, recovering myself, and grasping her hands, so that I could look into her eyes. "The man is not dead—only stunned by the blow. He will be conscious in a minute. Do not become frighmned; you did right, and we have no time to lose. You have a horse somewhere?" She hesitated, her hands still held in mine unconsciously. "You—you mean I am to ride for Lewisburg—and—and you?" "Oh, I must do the best I can on foot. We'll keep together as long as possible. Go, and hurry. Get a wrap, and your revolver." She slipped out of the room, and up the stairs, her light steps making no sound on the soft carpet. I bent over Nichols, and as I touched him be stirred, and opened his eyes, staring up into my face "Don't hit me!" he whined. "I'm no friend of Anse Cowan." "So you've had enough! Then take orders from me." I gathered in the picture cord the girl had dropped on the floor. His wrists were big and knotted, and 1 drew the cord tight enough to make the fellow wince, despite his groans and pretense at severe suffering.- "Go up the stairs," I commanded sternly, "and keep close to the wall. Oh, you can walk all right my friend, and I advise you to do as I say—you see this gun?"

PINCKNEY DISPATCH * MHCT OFFICERS OF mass BANK •RAND JURY FINDS TRUE BILLS IN FAMOUS CASE INVOLVING U. S. TREASURY. WSEQUEL TO BANK'S CHARGES Secretary of Treasury and Comptroller of Currenoy Were Aoeueed of Personal Animus by Fin* anolers. AMBASSADOR TO BE ENVOY OF WILSON AT CORONATION Washington—Charlas C. Glover, president of the Riggs National bank; WilUam J. Flather, vice-president, and H. H. Flather, cashier, were indicted Friday for perjury in connection with the bank's recent suit against Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams. Four indictment* were returned against each of the bank officials, who are charged with perjury in making an affidavit which sat forth that the hank never had engaged in stock market transactions and had no transactions with Lewis Johnson ft Co., a defunct local stock brokers. Attorneys for Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams contended at the trial of the bank's suit that the hooks of Lewis Johnson ft Co. showed many transactions in the names of the bank officials named. The case soon afterward was laid before a grand Jury. Vice-President Milton B. Ailes and Joshua Brans, J/., assistant cashier of the bank, were called to testify. They are not mentioned in the indictments returned. The indictments are a sequal to the suit of the bank which alleged that Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams, because of personal animus toward some of the bank's dfflcers, had conspired to injure the institution by withdrawing public deposits, making extraordinary demands for special reports and Anally by imposing a fine ef 11,000 upon the bank for failure to make a certain report called for by the comptroller. The district supreme court dismissed all the charges the bank made against the secretary and the comptroller but left undecided the question of the $6,000 fine. A decision on that point is expected at the fall term of court. Meanwhile the treasury officials are enjoined from forfeiting certain interest on government bonds held by the bank as payment for the penalty.

Rockefeller, Jr., to the employes of the Colorado Fuel ft Iron Co. The contract was embodied in the industrial plan submitted by Mr. Rockefeller at a meeting of officers of the company and grievance representatives from the various coal camps. The plan carries a guarantee against discrimination against members of any union manner members of any union but does not provide for recognition of the United Mine Workers of Americaln. The industrial system outlined at the conference is looked upon as the Rockefeller answer to the demands of the United States Mine Workers—demands whlcsh in 1913 led to one of the most bitter Industrial conflicts in the history of the country. Mr. Rockefeller himself has steadfastly maintained that his plant is not attack upon unionism, but that It is "broader and more democratic" than the system advocated by the miners' organization. The plan was approved by unanimous vote at a meeting of mine officers and miners' representatives here Saturday. It will be submitted to the.board of directors of the Colorado Fuel A Iron Co.. and to a referendum vote of the miners at all the camps for final adoption. Men Are Found On Top of Chute Where They Had Crawled to Escape Stream of Water. MUKET QUOTATIONS Live Stock. DETROIT—The cleaning and disinfecting of the stock yards here is pro-' grassing rapidly. When they do open stockers, feeders and milch cows may be handled and shipments can be made anywhere, as the whole of Michigan will then be in the free area. Lansford, Pa.—Nine mine workers entombed in the Foster creek tunnel of the Lehigh Coal ft Navigation company, at Coaldale, at noon Monday, where taken out alive at 4:25 Sunday afternoon. They were found on top of a chute in whloh they had crawled to escape a flood of water that had broken from an abandoned working and caused more than 300 feet of gangway roof to fall, shutting off means of escape. The men are in the hospital at Coaldale and reports from there hold promise that all will recover. The rescue was accomplished after 200 mine workers and company officials had battled for six days against discouraging conditions in the choked up gangway. Their task was mads more difficult by a threefoot stream of water which flowed from an adjoining working and which could be regulated only by constant operation of many pumpe. After blasting and tearing away more than 800 feet of solid rock, coal and timbers that had been wedged tightly into the gangway by the fall of roof, rescue forces early Sunday reached an open space back of chute No. 24, down which the stream of water poured from the undermined source. Once more their work waa checked by the presence of an even deeper flow of water and a wooden platform, resembling a large raft, was built above the surface of the water and further progress wajs made toward the chutes in whioh they had taken refuge. At the top of chute No. 27, down which the coal from upper veins is thrown to the loading cars, the pitiful group of huddled humanity was discovered. It was Intensely cold in the little space and the rescuers found the nine men, two of whom are scarcely out of their "teens," curled up into a compact mass to retain the warmth of their bodies. All were terribly weakened by their 150 hours of waiting and praying, and with wan faces up-lifted and eyes blinking at the strain of the unfamiliar lights, the men In weak voices shouted greetings to their rescuers.

They ride together to a house beyond Hot Springs. In the house Wyatt and Taylor meet Malor Harwood. father of Noreen and an old neighbor of wyatt, who 1s sent to bed while the two other men talk. Wyatt becomes suspicious, and finds that Taylor has murdered Harwood and escaped. Wyatt changes to the U.

The detachment is ambushed. Wyatt escapes to the Green Briar country and goes to Harwood's apparently deserted home. CHAPTER VI. The Mistreat of the House. I stood with ear pressed against the panel, fingers gripping the butt of my revolver. An ordinary latch held the door .closed, and I pressed this, opening the barrier slightly. The movement made not the slightest noise, and gave me a glimpse within. In front of a small grate fire, her back toward me. snuggled comfortably down in the depths of an easy chair, sat a woman reading. I could see little of her because of the high back of the chair rising between us—only a mass of dark brown hair, a smooth, rounded cheek, and the small white hand resting on the chair arm. I knew vaguely her waist was white, her skirt gray, and I saw the glimmer of a pearlhandled pistol lying on a closed chest at her side. Still she was only a woman, a mere girl apparently, whom I had no cause to fear. The sudden reaction caused me to smile with relief, and to return my revolver silently to the belt. Her eyes remained on the page of the book. I think I would have withdrawn without a word, but. at that instant, a draft from the open door flickered her light, and she glanced about seeking the cause. I caught the startled expression in her eyes as she first perceived my shadow; the book fell to the floor, her hand gripping the pistol, even as she arose hastily to her feet The light was on her face, and I knew her to be Noreen Harwood. "Who are you? Why are you here?" she asked tersely, a tremor in the voice, but no shrinking in those eyes that looked straight at me. I moved forward from out of the shadow into the radius of light It was only a step, but the girl recoiled slightly, the -pearl-handled pistol rising instantly to a level with my eyes. "Stand where you are!" she ordered. "What are you doing, creeping about this house in the dark?" "Not in the dark exactly." I answered, seeking to relieve the strain, and holding my hat in one hand, as I bowed gravely, "for my lamp is on the staira." I marked the quick change of ex-, pression in her eyes as they swept over me. There waa no evidence of recognition; scarcely more than a faint acknowledgment that my appearance waa not entirely unfavorable. Tet surely that alone waa all I could hope for. Except for that one chance encounter on the road we had never met since we were children, and aha not likely associate the ton of J; Wyatt with the man now liar, attired in the wet and form of a Federal lien It was better she a! feeling of realised hen to the ekXhes I here," she added simply. "This is my home." "Yes; I supposed aa much; you are Miss Noreen Harwood?" Her blue eyea widened, her hand grasping more tightly the back of the chair. "Yes," she admitted. "You knew my father?" "Slightly; enough to be aware of the existence of his daughter, and that this was his plantation." "Then you must be connected with the garrison at Charleston?" "No, Miss Harwood; I belong to the Army of the Potomac, and am here only on recruiting service. A word of explanation will make the situation clear, and I trust may serve to win your confidence. I do not have the appearance of a villain, do I?" "No, or I should not remain parleying with you," she responded gravely. "The war has taught even the women of this section the lesson of self-protection, r am not at all afraid, or I should not be here alone." "It surprises me. however, that Major Harwood should consent to your remaining—* "He haa not consented," she interrupted. "I am supposed to be safely lodged with friends in Lewisburg, but rode out here this afternoon to see the condition of our property.

Last night at dusk we rode into a camp of guerrillas." "Who commanded them? Did you learn r "A gray-headed, seamed-feced mountaineer, they called Cowan." She emitted a quick breath, between closely pressed Upa. "You know the man?" I asked. "Yes; old Ned Cowan; he lived over yonder, east of here in the foothills. He and—and my father had some trouble before the war. He—he is vindictive and dangerous." She stopped, her glance sweeping about the room. "I—I have some reason to suspect" she added, aa if half doubting whether she ought to speak the word, "that either he, or one of his men, broke in here." "In search of something?" "A paper; yes—a deed. Of course I may be mistaken; only it is not to be found. The desk in the library was rifled, and its contents scattered over the floor when I came. I put them back in place, but found nothing of value among those that remained. My father must have removed those of Importance. "Possibly he carried them with him?" She leaned her head on her hand, her eyea thoughtful. "I think he once told me they were left in charge of a banker at Charleston— an old friend. It would be too dangerous to carry them about with him in the field. You see I do not know very much about his affairs," she explained. "I was away at school when the war broke out and we have only met briefly since. My father did not talk freely of his personal matters even to me. I learned of his feud with Cowan by accident" "It was a feud then?" "On one side at least My father was shot at, and several of our outhouses burned. The trouble arose over the title to property. Cowan," she explained, "was a squatter on land which^sad belonged to our family ever since my grandfather first settled here. We had title from Virginia, but the tract granted had never been properly surveyed. My father had it done, and discovered that Ned Cowan and two of his sons occupied a part of our land with no legal right." Her eyes uplifted to my face, and then fell again, one hand opening and closing on the back of the chair. She laughed pleasantly. "I hardly know why I am telling you all this family history," she continued almost in apology. "It is as if I talked to an old friend who was naturally interested in our affairs." "Perhaps the manner of our meeting accounts for it," I ventured. "But truly I am more deeply interested than you Imagine. It may prove of mutual advantage for me lo know the facts. Did Major Harwood try to force them from his land?" "Oh, no," hastily, "my father had no such thought He tried to help them to purchase the property at a very small price, and on long time. His intention was to aid them, but he found himself unable to convince either father or sons of his real purpose. They either could not, or would not understand. Do you realize the reckless, lawless nature of these mountain men?" "Yes, to some extent; they trust no one." "That was the whole trouble. Seemingly they possessed but one idea— that if my father was killed they could remain where they were indefinitely. Their single instinct was to fight it out with rifles. They refused to either purchase or leave." There waa silence, aa though she had finished. She had seated herself on the wide arm of the chair, still facing me, and I could hear the rain beating bard against the aide of the house. Suddenly she looked up into my face. "How odd that I should talk to you so freely." she exclaimed. "Why I do not even know your name.* "Charles H. Raymond." I could not be certain that the expression of her eyes changed, for they suddenly looked away from me, and see stood again upon bar feet "Raymond, you say!** the slightest hardening of tone apparent "on recruiting service from the Army of the She drew a quick breath, think I have aeare the name before.

Down below we may find both, and it will be my pleasure thus to serve a Federal officer. You have a lamp without?" "On the stairs?" She led the way like a mistress in her own home, and I followed. There was a force 6f character about the girl not to be ignored. She chose to treat me as a guest, uninvited, but none the less welcome, a position I was not reluctant to accept. I held the lamp as we went down the stairs together, the rays of light pressing aside the curtain of darkness. CHAPTER V I I . Parson Nichols. She put aside laughingly my suggestion of assistance. The fire in the grate burst into blase, and her hands were busily rearranging the table. "With no servants left, and the house unoccupied for months," she explained, "1 shall have to give you soldier fare, and, perhaps, not very much of that Pardon my not Joining in the feast, as 1 have only just eaten." She drew up a chair opposite to where I sat, supporting her chin in her hands. The light between us illumined her face, outlining it clearly against the gloom of the wall behind ft was a young face, almost girlish in a way, although there was a grave, strong look to the eyes, and womanly firmness about lips and chin. I had seen so little of her in the days gone by. And here I found her a woman—a woman of charm, of rare beauty even; sweet and wholesome in look, her cheeks aglow with health, her eyes deep wells of mystery and promise. Her father! I dare not tell her of his*death, of his dastardly murder. It was strange she had not recognized me, yet probably the real truth was that she had never before observed me with any care or interest—considering me a mere boy to be laughed at and forgotten. I was only a stranger entering into her life for the first time. This expression was in the eyes surveying me as 1 ate—quiet earnest eyes, utterly devoid of suspicion. "You are a very young man," she said simply. "Not seriously so," I answered, rather Inclined to resent the charge. "1 am twenty-four." "You look like a boy I used to know —only his eyea were darker, and he bad long hair." "Indeed!" 1 caught my breath quickly, yet held my eyea firm. "Someone Irving about here?" "Yes; his name waa Wyatt I never knew him very well, only yon recalled him to memory in some way.

They lay their bad feelings to almost every cause but the true and unsuspected one. But the doctor knows. His wide experience has proven to him that to some systems, coffee is an insidious poison that undermines the health. Ask him if coffee is a cause of constipation, stomach and nervous troubles. "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and when taken sick two years ago with nervous prostration, the doctor said that my nervous system was broken down and that I would have to give up coffee. "I got so weak and shaky I eoukt not work, and reading an advertisement of Postum I asked my grocer if he had any of i t He said, Yes,' and that he used it in his family and it was all it claimed to be. - ¾ ¾ "So I Quit coffee and commenced to use postum steadily, anu in about two weeks I could sleep better and get up in the morning feeling fresh.

Many people hesitate about paying five or ten dollars more to secure a reliable range—one that will cook these thousand meals a year with the least trouble and at the lowest cost. If you should add just one cent to the cost of every meal for the first year only, you would soon make up the difference between the cheap range and the range that will last a lifetime. Suppose your cheap range uses one cent*s more of fuel in cooking each meal, or only three cents' worth more a day. In one year this range has cost you ten dollars extra—ten dollars more for fuel than the better range. Every year means* that much more money burned up. Suppose the better range "does cost ten dollars more at first than the cheap one. The extra cost is nothing—it amounts to only one cent a meal. It will save that cent a meal in fuel alone.

NEW COIFFURE Cypripedium Leeanum. i ORCHIDS IN THE HOUSE By FRANK H. 8WEET. During my leisure hours In the greenhouse I find no plants so interesting as the orchids. Each succeeding season is making this exquisite, fantastic plant more popular with commercial florists and private collectors who have greenhouses of their own. The increasing demand for the cut flowers and the fact that, in spite of popular belief, orchids are easily grown and very little trouble, are sufficient Inducements for many enterprising growers to include them among their plants. But as yet the ordinary house grower has been unable to overcome her fear of these beautiful, curious productions of nature. To her they are something extremely delicate and fragile— something that an ordinary whiff of air will shrivel and destroy. She looks at them longingly on her rare ^visits to the neighboring greenhouse, but shakes her head when approached on the subject of purchasing. They are too tender, she declares, with conclusive regret in her voice They would be out of place among her window collection of sturdy carnations and begonias and callas and geraniums, and rarely do the persua sive arguments of the florist weakeD her deep-rooted belief. However, there is now and then one who yields to the fascination of an exquisite dendeobium or odonto glossum, and bears the treasure home with the shrinking conviction that it will live under her care but a few day^s. Still even for those few days of pos session she is willing to pay the pur chase money, and she places the or chid among her plrnts and gloats over it with the joy of an ignorant con noisseur—if the term may be used. And it goes without saying that hav Ing once begun she will not cease until she discontinues growing plants. But the days and the weeks and the months go by, and the beautiful fantastic foreigner shows no disposition to die, or even to languish. Long spikes of beautiful flowers wonderful flowers, creep down among the geranium leaves, and other spikes rest caressingly against the rich green of the callas. Indeed so long as it is plentifully supplied with water the little stranger is apparently well satisfled with the surroundings. It fills the room with fragrance, and its curious, white, finger and toelike roots cling tightly to the small board home th:\ hangs suspended above the other plants. But not all orchids are so 'complaisant Many will not thrive outside of greenhouses, and many others would best be left alone, even by florists. However, among the hundreds of varieties, there are plenty that will accommodate themselves to their surroundings. I have had orchids that were far less trouble than ordinary bedding plants, and whose flowers were exquisitely beautiful and fragrant. The great secret of their cultivation is the resting. Many species that are considered hard to grow and flower, suffer much from too kind treatment when they should be left entirely alone in a cool temperature. In winter a daily syringing of growing plants is sufficient, and during the Lot months fresh water evaporated several times a day makes a much better moisture than that of stagnant water. As a rule, orchids do better when suspended, and apple wood with very little or no moss at all is preferred by the majority of growers. Often strong roots, some of them one and a half feet long, hang in bunches far below the blocks, and these roots keep in healthy condition, while potted plants show more or less decayed roots in the pots or on the surface of the dressing. About the beginning of the year many orchids will show flower buds all up the stems of last season's growth and can then be kept in a tem perature of 65 to 75 degrees, when in from 20 to 25 days they will be in a blaze of flowers. They should be :<ept growing slowly till toward spring, and then plentifully supplied with heat and moisture till growths are finished and bulbs firm. After that water should be gradually withheld till they are stored away to their needed rest. While flowering, the plants" should be looked over every day to see that they have proper drainage, and the sphagnum that has become decayed should be removed and fresh used in repotting. At this season they should be carefully picked out and given a little more elevation, warmth and light, care being taken that they are nbt fully exposed to the sun's rays. These little attentions are the means of much success in the cultivation of the lovely odontoglots and cattleyas and cypripediums. And finally do not overpot; do not let them get water-logged, or very dry; and keep them in a cool place, out of drafts. These rules followed, every plant will repay the care given It Model May Be Made Up Into Presses for All Occasions—Plain Soft Taf fetas Probably the Best Material to Use. Of all the fetching frocks that Paris has sent over to America for our use during the coming months, none will be used so much as the one in this pattern. It appears with the jacket below the waist line, and also attached in a peplum, as illustrated. These patterns are shown with as little trimming as possible In order that the student of styles may get the full effect of the lines of a dress. Trimming may be applied according to the figure; but let me warn you that the way in which it is applied makes or mars your appearance. Frocks of this sort are made up into dresses for all occasions, but the model is a favorite for afternoon, calling, and for the theater. It is the thing for morning wear about town. The material par excellence for the model is silk, although satin, poplin and bengaline are all used for afternoon dresses of this sort The new plain soft taffetas, which are of pure silk and durable as well Paris Sends Gathered Frocks. as supple in fold and graceful in line, are admirable, built in this sort of gown, and trimmed around the skirt with bias folds and with groups of little ruffles or corded shirred bands. Often the fullness of the skirt is slightly shirred over a cord at the bottom, and this gives a very quaint look to the dress. Where the skirt is corded and shirred, or ruffled, the same idea must be carried out in the jacket. A little ruffle at th^ waist line and on the edge of the illustrated jacket the fronts, and above the sleeve cuffs would accompany ruffles on the skirt Any other skirt trimming would be repeated in the same way. This full gathered skirt is often adapted to plump figures by means of a shirred top from waist to hips, and it is also plaited on such figures. It is a mistake for a plump woman to wear gathers directly from the waist line. This makes her stoutness all the more apparent, while, on the contrary, fullness lower down relieves the impression.—Lillian Young m Washington Star.

It is the very best tonic that nature has ever offered man, and is even a better weapon against old age and decreptitude than the sour milk diet of the Bulgarian peasants.'* There is a prejudice against the sour milk, so much appreciated abroad, and which tastes almost exactly like junket You simply pour fresh milk into open soup plates and stand them in a cool larder until the milk has turned into a jelly, which happens pretty soon. Partaken of with a little good cream, browned brown bread crumbs and sugar, sour milk is very wholesome; really something of a delicacy, and hundreds of peasants in mid-Europe simply live and move and have their being upon it IN POPULAR WHITE SERGE Charming Little Frock That Will Satisfy the Small Wearer as Weil as Her Mother.

Whole Milk That Is Lacking In Skim Milk—Extremely Valuable In Cooking. • • „ ^ _ _ _ (Prepare by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The possibilities of skim milk as a human food • ave been rather neglected, according to specialists in the United States department of agriculture. Butterfat is the only nutrient in whole milk that is lacking in shim milk; practically all of the mineral substances, carbohydrates and protein remain in the skim milk. Because of the targe proportion of the protein in it, skim milk, like whole milk, may be classed with such foods as eggs, meat, fi&h, poultry and cheese. Protein not only serves as fuel for the body—a service performed also by fats, sugars and starches—but also supplies nitrogenous tissue-building material Two and a half quarts of skim milk contain almost as much protein and yield about as much energy as a pound of round of beef. A quart of skim milk contains more than twice as much nourishment as a quart of oysters which cost several time? more. An economical and profitable combination is an oyster *tew made with skim milk. In cooking there is indeed little or no difference in taste between skimmed and unskimmed milk. In the making of cereal mashes, for instance, the use of skim milk in place of water adds greatly to the nutritious value, particularly by raising the amount of tissue-forming materials. In making milk soups, chowders, custards and cakes, also, It can be profitably used. In chowders the lack of fat Is made up by the use of salt pork. The following recipe for corn chowder calls for no Ingredients that are difficult to secure and will be found attractive and nourishing. One can of corn or one pint of fresh corn, grated, four cupfuls potatoes, cut into small pieces, two ounces salt pork, one small onion, chopped, four cupfuls skim milk, one tablespoonful salt, four ounces crackers. Cut the pork into small pieces and fry it with the onion until both are a delicate brown. Add Ahe potatoes and corn; cover with water, and cook until the vegetables are soft AC1 the milk and salt, and reheat It is well to allow the crackers to soak In the milk while the potatoes and corn ar being cooked. Some people cook the cobs from which the corn has been removed, in water, and later UBB this water for cooking the potatoes and corn. In recommending skim milk as food, th fact should always be kept in mind that it has gone throngh one more process in the course of its preparation for family use than whole milk has—that of separation or skimming. This, in the case of a food material so liable to become contaminated and to be the carrier of disease, is a verv important matter, and the consumer should take even more pains than in buying whole milk, to know that it has been carefully handled, particularly if it is to be used raw. The provisions of the food and drugs act and common honesty require that skim milk should be sold for what It Is, and never for whole milk. It should be plainly labeled as skim milk. To sell it as whole milk would not only be a violation of the federal food and drug* act, in cases where that law ajtfcsSft/ but also a violation of the^MsliHr^Bl any state where It Children Cry For At :•'•>• ft* flu $ : »••2 1*1 >o„|0 3* Frouotes Diget»tion,Chetrfurness and Rest.Contains neither Opimn,Murphiiie nor Mineral NOT N A R C O T I C .

The latter breed is used by specialists in capon growing. It is sometimes crossed with the Plymouth Bock breed. Very often the cross makes a capon weighing twelve to fifteen pounds. However, the smaller birds, such as Plymouth Rock, weighing from six to nine pounds when eight months old, are more i s demand. It is uncertain and not desirable for tbe average person to cross breed. Plymouth Bock capons grow fast, have a large breast, and the desirable yellow skin legs. Then, too, Plymouth Bock pullets which can be conveniently raised at the same time are good layers and early maturing, combined with good weight when killed. The caDonlzing operation is simple and can be done by the farmer with a OUR DAILY BREAD. BREAKS? AST. Berries With Cream. Cereal. Feted Potatoes With MUk Gravy. Toast Coffee, . LTO*CHEQN.

After caponlzing they suggest the owner keep them growing until they reach full-else, which will take from ten to twelve months, and then fatten them. This la good advice. Contrary to the popular theory, a capon as placed on the market is usually little, If any, larger than it would have been If the operation of caponlzing had not been performed.

A good set of instruments may be purchased directly from manufacturers of surgical Instruments or through poultry supply dealers. Complete directions for caponlzing are furnished with the instruments. ~ Essential for Q successful operation is that the birds are of the right size and properly starved. Good light is needed when making the cut The best time to caponise is when the fowls are about three montus of age, but the farmer is governed to a large extent by the size, about 1¼'pounds being the right weight Previous to tbe operation the cockerels are starved for at least twentyfour hours to empty tbe intestines so the testicles can be easily seen and removed. After the operation tbe fowls are given a moist mash. In'a few days they require no extra attention except the pricking of the wind blisters once or twice. They are allowed free range and are fed plenty of grain to develop a large frame. It will do no barm to run them with the pullets as their disposition is entirely changed. Capons do not fight or crow and are easy to handle About three weeks before tbey are to, be marketed they are shut in a pen and fed a moist mash twice a day composed of 20 per cent bran, 10 per cent wheat middlings. 10 per cent alfalfa meal, 20 per cent ground oats, 20 per cent corn meal and 20 per cent beef scrap, mixed with skimmed milk. The mash is supplemented with cracked c o n and wheat is fed at noon. Late winter i t the time to market ekpona, when they brteg high prices. Tomato Soup. OOK a quart can of tomatoes or its equivalent in fresh for twenty minutes, then rub through a fine sieve. Season with salt and pepper and a few drops of onion juice. Cook a quart of milk in the double boiler, adding, when at the boiling point, two tablespoonfuls of flour stirred smooth In a little cold milk. Add two tablesponfuls of butter. Now beat the yolks of two or three eggs in a tureen, pour tbe milk into the tomatoes and this mixture into the tureen over the eggs, beating vigorously so they will not curdle. Sprinkle finely cut parsley over top and serve very hot with croutons or bread sticks. French Bouille. An acceptable soup for hot days is the French bouille made of thickened milk. Put in a saucepan^ two tablespoonfuls of wheat flour, a dessertspoonful of sugar and a teaspoonful of salt Mix to a smooth paste and odd a quart of hot milk. Cook in a double boiler until thickened and serve with crisp croutons and a dash of pepper. The hot milk will be found stimulating, yet delicate, proving just the soup one requires for a bot day. Lobster Salad. Boil one large or two medium sized lobsters and pick to pieces when cold. To make the dressing for them, beat the yolks of two raw eggs with a teaspoonful of salt, a pinch of cayenne, a half tablespoon ful of powdered sugar and a full teaspoonful of mustard wet with vinegar. Add gradually and at first very slowly one cupful of olive oil. When quite thick whip in the strained juice before adding two tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Just before serving add to the dressing one-quarter cupful of sweet cream whipped to a froth; stir all well together and into the lobster. Line a salad bowl with the crisp heart leaves of lettuce, put in the seasoned meat and cover with a little more whipped cream. If a little more acid is liked use vinegar. Chicken Veal. Have veal stripped from the shank, cut in pieces large enough to serve, boil in salted water until very tender, roll in flour and fry tbe same as chicken.

R. Rhees of the anti-narcotic bureau of the treasury department "We are contending with two great problems In enforcing the law," the doctor continued. "One is the physician, who will write a prescription when there is no necessity for his so doing, and the other Is the druggist who sells without the proper prescription. Most of the arrests have been from these two classes of violators of the law, though, of coarse, tome peddlers of the drag have been apprehended. "Under the present conditions, however, every peddler most get his supply from some source over which w e keep s watch, so that Is a phase of the work which can finally be checked op, though not, of coarse, immediately in all esses. One of the principal troubles now Is j that prior to March 1, when the law went Into effect, a number of druggists stocked up with morphine urtphate, cocaine and other forbidden drags and then failed to enter them all en their inventory. In such cases, unless we can 4get the goods on them,' they may dispose of large quantities of the drugs at fabulous profits through selling to persons who nave no prescriptions, and perhaps even to peddlers. _ "We are working the druggists \ against the physicians; in the hope of i checking up those who do not 'seek to ' comply srtth the spirit of the law. The druggist can tell, by the stae of the doses, whether the purchase is legitimate. If the drug m for an addict the doses should he gradually, reduced.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, September 29, )915 of the past, through memory, revived and retouched with MEMORY DAY Once upon a time a Michigan ohool teacher traveled two handforU- seven mile* for the sole purpose of hearing Adeline Patti sing "Home, Sweet Home." This dear old song brought to the consciousness of four or five thousand listeners the precious memories of childhood's days. In large measure, human personality is the aggregate of one'B memory. At the grave of father, mother, wife, hueband, son, danghter, baby, neighbor, friend, the joys and sorrows are the benediction of love. Oar cemeteries are cites of the dead, made beautiful through the magic touch of ibviug hands. It is hoped than on ''Memory Day" every cemetry in Michigan will command the special -attention of our citizens. If, by chance, a* neglected grave is found put it in order and place upon it a handful of flowers. If there is a corner called the potter's field, clear away the rubbish and weeds Here strew and plant flowers. The condition of this particular spot is the real test of community love and loyalty. In remembering the dead we serve the living. I, Woodbridge N.Ferris,Governor of Michigan, invite her her people toaconvene in the cemeteries at 2:00 o'clock p. m. on Thursday, September 30, designated by the Legislature as 'Memory Day/ and there scatter flowers and hold appropriate exercises in memory of the dead.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH SWE BEA1 rs aivd Shrub TheirTare and Cultivatioiv Japanese Iris. MAKING MOST OF THE IRIS By L. M. BENNINGTON. Iris of all plants Is most indifferent to its surroundings, soil and environment. With satisfactory attention It gives wonderful results. For German Iris, plant the roots deeply; but the bulb should be covered very lightly unless planting late in the fall or very early in the spring, when they Bhould be planted about two lncheB below the soil level. At other times just barely cover them. When hoeing In the summer it Is well not to draw much soil to them, as It is liable to rot them at certain times when they are more subject to this decay than others, when covered deep ly with soil; and doubly so after they become larger. All the culture they need is to have the soil kept free of weeds and hoed •ery lightly or raked just BO the crust la broken or kept loose. About November 1, before freezing begins, give them a good hoeing and a light dressing of manure after the hoeing. Plant or divide at any time. , A few. very good sorts are florentlna, early white; innocents, late white; celeste, rich sky blue; pallida delmatica, rich lavender; fairy, pearly white; flavescens, rich canary; honorably, rich falls, yellow chocolate brown; gypsy queen, smoky bronxe. falls deep chocolate; sappho, deep velvety purple; all very free. The Japan Iris requires much different treatment, while very easily handled when their requirements are understood, yet they are somewhat fickle. The best results are "obtained when the soil is very rich, well watered and kept hoed at all times. Never allow weeds to attain any start in their beds as they cannot resist the encroachments of rapid, strong-growing weeds. Plant them deeply so that the crowns are fully three inches below the soil level. Plant late in October, or very early in the spring. Water well after doing it. They may be planted at almost any time if the soil is allowed to adhere to the roots and kept well watered for at least two weeks. In fact they should never be allowed to become dry. Give them deep hoeing and good mulching of manure during August or September, and hoe it into the soil thoroughly. Iris Tectomm, Siblrica and similar types require much the same attention and treatment as Japan Iris, but they will stand any amount of dryness. Iris Germanics, Susiana. Pumila and stmilar types require the same treatment. A good list of Iris Japan Is blue jay, deep purple blue: Mt. Blanc, fine white; Pyramid, deep blue, golden base; Elizabeth, fine white; eshokun, the deepest purple-blue; W. T. Butterfield, entire white edged with magenta. f-<n Attractive Planting of iris With Climbing R t AMONG THE FLOWERS Y0 im4ac* nasturtiums to bloom in tttfc soil* atria a t the saost of the ' V/*' ? : ^ k Z £ s e > the senlks.

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

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

There seems to be an endless variety of uses to which fillet crochet can be applied. A large square of this crochet could be made into a very charming boudoir cap. A square with a rose pattern would be very pretty, although the extremely conventional designs are equally good. The square should be made with fifty or sixty codon net. as It will be more attractive If the mesh Is not too fine. A picot edging may be added to the edge of the square, or It can merely be finished with two rows of the plain mesh. When making this cap a casing Is stitched around the inside of the square, forming a circle by eliminating the corners.

Why you should trade with firms that advertise: Because advertising moves goods, thus assuring you that the firm that advertises is least likely to have anything old to offer you, even were it so minJed. Because the firm that advertises to sell is likely to be just as progressive in buying its stock, and thus knows how to j purchase at a saving for its cos-J tomere.

The Saginaw, Muskegon and Flint branches were named to ohoose the' beard of auditors. Governor Ferris was given unaaissous Indorsement for paroling Thomas Lawrence, union man. It was also decided to spread on the minutes the report of the railway men's union showing how the state legislators ••ted on the compensation amendments at the last session.

Berlin—Admiral von Holtzendorff, former commander of the German high seas fleet, now is head of the naval general staff, succeeding Vice- Admiral Bachmann. The new chief of the naval staff is firmly committed to the new line of submarine policy in regard to passenger steamers and is thoroughly convinced no more of them will be sunk. Submarine commanders have been instructed not only not to torpedo passenger steamers without warning them and giving passengers and crew an opportunity to escape, but also to adopt the safe course when there is the slightest doubt as to the intentions of the ship and not fire a torpedo unless absolutely convinced* of a hostile intent.

Amsterdam, via London—The Aus tro-Hungarian government, according to an official telegram received here Sunday from Vienna, has In reply to the American note of August 12 relative to the manufacture of. ammunition In the United States reiterated the position taken in its protest oi June 29. The reply affirms that Austria-Hungary never intended to imply that It expected' Washington would forbid American citizens to do a normal traffic in war material with the enemies of the dual monarchy, but solely protested against the economic life of the United States being made subservient to the production of war ma terial on the greatest possible scale, whereby the United States became "milltaryized."

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

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

It was either the culmination of a feud —done for personal revenge—or else the major had papers in his possession bearing on the situation here that could only be gained over his dead body. The man who killed him was old Ned Cowan." "But Harwood must have known him," I protested. "Of course he did; they were neighbors before the war and met there by appointment For all I know the major may have had some confidential communication from the war department God knows what it waa. All I am sure about is that I would give a good deal to be out of this fix right now and twenty miles to the north of here." We sat there for half an hour discussing the matter and endeavoring to convince ourselves the danger was less than we imagined. There waa nothing to be done but wait for daylight. Finally Fox crept forth again to make another round of the pickets, to assure himself they were alert, and before he returned I had fallen asleep. The chill of the night awoke me, cold and shivering. The wind had arisen and swept down the funnel in which I lay with an icy breath against which my single blanket afforded no .protection. The man who had been lying next me was gone, and so there must have been a change of guard while I slept I could distinguish, dimly outlined against the sky, the overhanging rock-wall which Inclosed our camp, and the deeper shade of a cleft a yard or two to my left where the dead trunk of a tree stood like a gaunt, ugly sentinel. As I lay staring the figure of a man slipped out from behind its protection and, dropping on hands and knees, crept forward across the open 1 space. Another and another followed, mere ghostlike shadows, scarcely appearing real. For the instant I doubted my eyesight, imagined I dreamed. Then, before I could raise voice in alarm, a rifle spat viciously, the red flame of Its discharge cleaving the nfght A fusillade followed and In the flare I caught grotesque glimpses of men leaping forward, and there waa a confused yelling of voices, s din of noise. I waa upoa my knees, revolver in hand, but in the melee below could not distinguish friend from foe—alike they were a blur of figures, one Instant visible, the next obscured. Yet there could be no doubt aa to the final ending of the struggle. Taken by surprise, outnumbered, the little squad of troopers would be crashed, annihilated. Nor waa there reason why I should sacrifice myself in their defense —a valueless sacrifice. My choice was instantly made, as there flashed to my mind what my fate would be if 1 ever fell into Cowan's hands attired in Federal uniform On hands and knees I crept to the deft in the rock wall and began to clamber up over the irregular rocks. The. shouts and yells, the cries for mercy, the sotmd of Mows, grew fainter and finally ceased altogether. Leaning back and looking down I could perceive nothing in the black void. A voice shouted aa order, but it sounded far off and indistinct X was in a Barrow gully, the incline lees stoop than amid the recks below, and could perceive the lighter canopy of the sky not far above me. As I era* .oat into the open snace someone tosjohed a xsateh to a saw of Batldry limbs m t l m core helow. sad this high, iwveatbsi the a tfhmsee of * — otach I otnxig at the of hefl. -w- . . . the •late lay revealed of rough, seemingly uninhabited country, growing more distinct ss the light strengthened There waa no house visible, 00 sign of any road; all about extended a rude mountain solitude, but to the northwest there was a perceptible break In the chain of hills, as though a pass led down into the concealed valley beyond. With this for guidance I plunged forward, eager to get out of that drear wilderness. It was considerably after the noon hour before I came upon a dismal shack of logs in the midst of a small clearing. The light streaming In through the open door revealed that it was unoccupied. Tet someone had been there, and not so very long ago, for there were scraps of food on one of the overturned boxes. Unappetising aa these appeared, I sat down and ate heartily, then got to my feet and, closing the door securely behind me, plowed through the tangle of weeds back to the road. + ^Just before sundown 1 emerged from the narrow gap and looked down into the broad valley of the Green Briar. It was a scene to linger in the memory, and at my first glance I knew where I was, recognising the familiar objects outspread before me. Lewisburg lay beyond a spar of hills, invisible from my position, although distant spirals of smoke indicated its presence. A few log huts appeared along the curving road, the one nearest me in ruins, while a gaunt chimney beside a broad stream unbridged was all that remained of a former mill. Beyond this, in midst of a grove of noble trees, a large house, painted white, was the only conspicuous featture in the landscape. I recognized it at once as the residence of Major Harwood. My gase rested usen it as memory of the man, and his fate, surged freshly back into mind. The place had been spared destruction; it remained unchanged—but from that distance It had the appearance of desertion. This condition was no particular surprise, for Harwood'i daughter, scarcely more than a girl to my remembrance, would doubtless be with friends, either in Lewisburg or Charleston; and that the mansion, thus deserted, still re- And •sgsti to Clamber YP Over the Irregular Rocks. malned undestroyed was, after alt not so strange, for the major's standing throughout that section would protect hia property. I moved on down the steep descent, losing sight of the house aa the road twisted abont the hilt although memory of it did not desert my mind. Some ahove waa tightly closed, yet both the windows to the right smashed in, sash and alt leaving a wide opening. I crept forward, and endeavored to peer ^through, but the darkness within waa opaque. I was wet through, chilled to the hone, my uniform clinging to me like soaked paper. At least the inside promised shelter from the storm, a chance for a fire, and possibly fragments of food. And I had nothing to fear but darkness. My revolver was under the flap of my cavalry jacket, dry and ready tor use. I brought it forward, within easy grip, and stepped over the silt My feet touched carpet littered with [ broken glass, and I felt about cautiously. My recollection of the interior of the house was vague and Indistinct'but I knew a wide hallway led straight through from front door to back, bisected only by a broad stairway leading to the upper story. I groped along the inside wall, found the door at last, standing wide open, and emerged into the halt The way waa clearer here, and there came into my mind the recollection of a bracket lamp, on the wall at the foot of the stairs. My remembrance of the position of the lamp was extremely vague, yet my fingers found it at last and lifted it from the bracket The globe contained oil, and, in another moment, the light revealed my imme diate surroundings. The total desertion of the place was evident; the destruction which had been wrought was plainly the work of cowardly vandals, who had broken In after the Harwoods left Convinced of this truth, I proceeded fearlessly to explore, Beeking merely the warmth of a fire and food. The library, a large room, the walls lined with bookcases, afforded no encouragement but I stopped in amazement at the door of the dining room—the light of my lamp revealing a table at which someone had lately eaten, apparently alone. There was a single plate, a cup and saucer, a half loaf of bread, with a slice cut, part of a ham bone, with considerable meat remaining untouched, and a small china teapot For an Instant the unexpected sight of these articles fascinated me, and then my eyes caught a dull glow in the fireplace at the opposite end of the room—the red gleam of a live ember. The shock of this discovery was so sudden as to give me a strange, haunted feeling. The house had seemed so completely deserted, so desolate, wrapped in silence and darkness, that the very conception that someone else was hiding there came upon me like a blow. Who could the person be? Well, I would find out. Thus far the advantage was mine, for I knew of another presence, while the fellow, whoever he might prove to be, in all probability possessed no knowledge of my entrance. My heart beat fast but from excitement not fear. With cocked revolver in one hand, the lamp In the other, I silently opened door after door, peer ing into vacant apartments, half thinking every shadow to be a skulking figure. The search revealed nothing; not even further evidence of any presence in the house. The kitchen fire wss cold, the cooking utensils clean, and in their proper places. Satisfied already that the mysterious Invader had departed, yet sternly determine** now to explore the whole house, and have done with the business, I mounted the back stairway, a strip of rag carpet rendering my steps silent and, with head above the landing, flashed my light cautiously along the upper halL There were doors on either tide* the most of them open, but the third to the left waa closed.

HOW TO COOK MUSHROOMS. VEEY simple way to cook them Is to bake them. Wash the mushrooms, removing the stems and peel them, then drop into ice water con taming a few drops of lemon juice. This will prevent them from darkening while the last ones are being peeled. After all are peeled dry them on a cloth, butter a baking pan and place the mushrooms in it underside up. In each mushroom put about a half teaspoonful butter and a few drops lemon juice, then sprinkle all with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Let them bake for half an hour. * In the meantime chop the peel and stems and boll these in a half pint of good stock. Thicken the stock with a tablespoonful of flour and one of butter to make a sauce and pour this over the mushrooms, when the latter are taken from the oven. A pound of mushrooms prepared in this way makes an exceptionally good accompaniment for a broiled beefsteak, and they should be poured over It as soon as the steak i is taken from the broiler. fr?»e#»s#»»»«cete*)e»e»»»#e, Making the Little Farm Pay By C. C. BOWSFIELD One of the surest and best money making features on any farm is the bean crop. This product is in constant demand at good prices and may be sold in the general market or put up in cans for private customers. Two or three acres of common bush beans is not too large a crop for the ordinary farm, and If an acre or even half an acre of pole lima beans can be added the results will be worth while. While the bean crop seldom fails, caution is needed in planting and fertilizing. The ground must be warm at the outset The early planting that will pay in handling a crop of peas will not do for beans. It is best to use * light soil which Is tiled or elevated enough for drainage. Moisture and richness are required, but the land should not be allowed to become soggy.

The time honored right of the boy with gun and dog to go out and kill squirrels and rabbits providing he is under 17 years of age, is gone, And the 25 limit placed on pan fish is interpreted to mean all kinds together, and not 25 of each variety.

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

The honeysuckles are desirable and popular on account of their many good qualities They grow quickly, forming dense shade and are iron-clad as regards insects and disease. The various clematis are all beautiful and desirable climbers. It Is not generally known that if clematis paniculata is severely cut back after flowering, it will form new wood which will ^ear fine flowers and many of their next season. Ideal plants for covering brick, stone and rough surfaces, are the ampelopsis and hedena helix—the true European ivy. The latter prefers a northern exposure, as the alternating thawing and freezing of late winter Is apt to kill it If grown where the sun strikes it. The ampelopsis, better known as the Boston ivy or Virginia creeper, is at all times beautiful. The tender growth in the spring is delicately shaded and in the fall the leaves are gorgeous in varicolored golds, crimsons and scarlet. Morning glories, cypress pines, sweet peas, gourds, nasturtiums, Japanese hops, wild cucumber, hyacinth bean, are among our most desirable annual climbers. Seeds of them do not cost much, and a package of one or the other will yield shade, beauty and grace. The Virginia creeper, honeysuckle, nasturtiums and moon vines are trailers rather than climbers. Of garden plants the sweet potato and the dewberry are genteel enough to be grown as trailers.

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

While on some farms the average may be exceeded, in many cases, It will be somewhat high, but at any rate the averago can be used on the average farm in figuring the least amount of time that should be allowed. Of course, in using such averages due weight has to be given to the fact that rainy woather may interfere with the harvesting campaign, and allowance must be made for such operations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Mother and Children Burned to Death, Grand Rapids—Mrs. John Vankersen and her daughter, five years old, were burned to death in a gasoline explosion which also destroyed their home at Virginia Park, near Holland, Wednesday night. Two other children escaped injury by fleeing. They returned later and pulled their five-year-old sister from the burning home. A neighbor carried Mrs. Vankarsen from the house, but her death soon followed. Bast Lansing—Prof. Frank Stewart Kedzie assumed office of president of Mlohlgan Agricultural college Thursday, to act until a permanent president is appointed by the state board of agriculture. Prof. Kedzie's advancement to the presidency oame as a sequel of Wednesday's action of the board, accepting the resignation of Dr. Jonathan L. Snyder, tendered in June, 1914. The board followed its acceptance of Dr. Snyder's resignation with a vote making him president emeritus, of the college, with a salary of $3,000, in appreciation and recognition of his 20 years' service as head of M. A. C. The office of president emeritus Is a purely honorary one, carrying no executive authority with it, though it entitles Dr. Snyder to act in an advisory capacity. Dr. Snyder's comment on the results of the day's session was brief. "I am glad the board has acted," he said, "and I am glad to be out. The burden of continuing as president is one which I willingly transfer to other shoulders. I desire only to say that the college is ready for a big future. It has tne possibilities and the resources, and 1 sincerely hope that a president will be appointtu who will make the largest use of them." Dr. Snyder frequently urged the board to accept his resignation. While the board has not yet made a selection, it is known to be considering one of the leading educators and scientists of the middle west to succeed Prof. Kedzie at the beginning of next term.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

These two young ministers are frequently Invited to dine at the home of said father. The other evening, at an informal dinner, when other guests were present, the small son was asked what he intended to be when he grew up. Gazing long and lovingly at his two idols, the youngster answered: When I'm a man I'm going to be either an Episcopalian minister or a Christian."—Cleveland News. Has Porcupines Wei! Trained.

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

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

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

It's sure hell In Green Briar these days—somebody is gettin' kilt every day er two. The cusses travel in gangs, murderin' an' burain' from one . end o' the county to the other." He Bpoke in an even, drawling voice, with not the slightest show of emotion, as though telling an ordinary bit of news: "D d if I know which outfit Is the,wus—the Yanks or the Rebs." "Which are you with?" "Who, me?" He paused in his bolting of food, and gave vent to an unpleasant laugh. "I rather reckon it would puzzle the Lord Almighty ter find- that out. I don't give a whoop ter neither of 'em. I'm fer ol' Jem Taylor, an' it keeps me tolor'ble busy tending ter his affairs, without botherin' 'bout no government." "Then your name is Taylor?" "I reckon it has been for 'bout sixty years. Tbar's a slew o' Taylors over along Buffalo crick, an' som' of 'em are Yanks, an' a parcel of 'em are Rebs, but they don't git ol' Jem ter take nary side. At that, I'm gittin' all the flgbtin' I hanker arter. Naturally, Fm a peaceful critter, if th' cusses let me alone." "Quieted down some over there lately, hasn't it?" "Huh! Thar's a rigiment o' bluecoats at Lewisburg, an' a few cavalrymen ridm' ther pikes. Don't amount ter a hill o' beans as fer as ther boys are concerned. All they got ter do is go further back in the hills, an* be a bit more keerful. I reckon, young man, ye'U find plenty o' deviltry going on in Green Briar, if ye ever git out that away. Wal, thet's all thar is fer us ter eat, an' I'm goin' ter take a snooze." He closed the door, fastening it se curely with a wooden bar, and stretched himself out on the floor The room was dark, as the only window was tightly boarded up, and using my bundle for a pillow, I lay down also. In a short time his heavy breathing was evidence enough that Taylor slept, Slowly my heavy eyes closed, and I lost consciousness. The sun was below the mountain ridge, when the heavy hand of the old mountaineer shook me into sudden wakefulness. With nothing left to eat we were not long in preparing for departure, I endeavoring vainly to get my silent companion to converse, be- \ Ing rewarded merely by grumbled and evasive answers. Finally I desisted in the attempt, content to follow his lead. Taylor, astride his sorrel, with gun resting grimly across his knees, rode straight through the brush, away from the pike, down the valley of a small stream. In crossing, the horses drank their fill. "How about the valley ro%d?" I asked as we climbed the opposite bank. The leader glanced back at me. "This yere way la nlgher, an' a darn sight mor* quiet," he answered gruffly. "Soldiers been marching over the pike all day. Mont be all right ter yer, if yer've got a paaa—but Lain't got none. We'll her* good 'nough ridin* In 'bout a mile~mor7v v. "Yon are aiming for the cut-off r* «1 be—yer do kno' aumthin' of this yere kintry, I reckon, but yer've got more eddicatlon than eny Cowan I ever hooked up with afore. Ter don't talk none like mountin' folks." I drew a quick breath, sensing the return of suspicion. T h a t ' s true/' I admitted readily. oa aee I went to school at Coring* they were coins to make a out of me." Taylor atared into my face, hla suspicion seemingly gone, r i l b e d — d - « between us. We camped finally in the bend of a small stream, where high banks concealed us from observation. There was little to eat in our haversacks, but we munched what we had, and Taylor, his eyeB on the horses, broke the silence. "I reckon the critters don't need more'n a couple hours' rest," he Baid. "They ain't been rid noways hard, an' I'm fer gittin' through the gap durin' daylight—the road ain't overly good just now." "Across the mountains? la there a gap here?" "Ther road ter Hot Springs Is ^bcwit two miles below yer. I cum over it ten days ago an' I reckon I kin find my way back- It's 'bout forty miles frum thar ter Lewisburg, mostly hlllB, but a good trail. I know folks et Hot Springs who will take good keer o' us, onct we git thar." We rested, dozing, but neither sound asleep, for nearly three hours. Whatever might be In Taylor's mind, the lonely night had brought to me a new thought relative to ray companion. The fellow was evasive, and once he had frankly lied in seeking to explain his presence in the valley, and the reason for his secrecy of movement. By now we were decidedly at cross-purposes, each vigilantly watching the other—Taylor in doubt as to what the bundle contained, which I never permitted- out of my grasp, and myself as deeply Interested in gaining possession of a packet of papers, a glimpse of which I had caught In an Inside pocket of the mountaineer's coat. His mission, whatever it might be, was secret and dangerous. Of this bis ceaseless vigilance was proof. The light of a dying day still clung to the western sky when our wearied horses bore us into the village of Hot Springs. It was like a deserted hamlet, few houses appearing inhabited, and the shop windows boarded up.

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

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

Mrs. Enderly, wife of Judge Enderly, of a small Missouri towo, complained one day that she had accidentally swallowed a button, which she was holding in her mouth preparatory to attaching to some garment. As the lady was rather given to making great ado over trivial mishapa, and as the judge was much preoccupied, he did not pay much heed. Soon after, however, finding her in tears, he- made kindly inquiry as to their cause. "It's your heartless in-indifference to anything that b happens to me," sobbed the aggrieved little woman. "I I didn't suppose you'd w-worry much because 1 swallowed a button, but I d-did think you might have tanen enough interest in it to inquire w-what kind of bbutton it was,"—Youth's Companion. German Heroes Honored. In one of the German papers recently there was a reference to Bismarck herrings, Bismarck cigars, etc. It appears there are also Buelow herrings which run the Blsinarcks very close in popularity, and also Buelow hams. It is suggested that the failure of Bethmann-Hollweg to associate himself with any comestible is due to the length of his name. Rut an enthusiastic admirer of Hindonburg has been selling cheap cognac as Hindenburg schnapps, and grog as Hindenburg tea. Also a doubtful mixture of various intoxicants has been christened Hindenburg coffee. It seems rather spd that the vendor of these concoctions, which were sold in opaque cups, should have been rewarded for his loyalty by one month's imprisonment for infring* ing the alcohol prohibition.

Pinckney |" Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, September 8, 1915 No. 37 INCKNEY SCHOOL OPENED MONDAY fVltk the largest Attendauce io the History of the School—AQ Extra Teacher Hired The Pinckney school opened Monday morning with the largest number of scholars in attendance, that was ever known in the history of the school. There were over sixty names enrolled in the high school alone, a large majority being foreign students. The Senior class numbers fifteen. Heretofore only one teacher hasbjfen employed in the high school, besides the Superintendent. It was seen that it would be impossible to do justice to the classes with the great increase in the number of students, -co it was decided at a meeting of the school board Monday evening to employ an extra teacher. This position was given to Mrs. J. P. Doyle who hat had several years of experience in various schools throughout Michigan. A school helps much in building np a town and we can indeed be prond of the Pinckney school. For a school of its size, it has been made one of the best in the state* daring the superintendency of its present professor, J. P. Doyle.

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

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

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

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

"Then that will be all, Kline; except of course,.complete Federal cavalry equipment for the horse." The officer saluted and disappeared, the door instantly closing behind him, cutting off the hum of voices without There was a moment of B1- lence. "You had better retain your present dress until after you leave the valley," counseled Jackson, slowly. "Swan will furnish you with a pass, which should be carefully destroyed after passing our pickets at Covington. It will be of no service to you beyond that point My best wishes for your success. Sergeant Wyatt" He stood up, and I felt the firm grasp of his" hand. Then Aahby gripped my shoulder. "Wyatt" he said kindly, "if you ever desire to change, your arm of the service, you are the kind of man I want to ride with me." I smiled in appreciation, but before I could answer, the man who had been sitting silently in the corner arose, and stood erect in the light The gleam of the lamp instantly revealed his face, still shadowed by the wide hat brim, the firm, bearded chin, the gravely smiling eyes. "General Ashby," he said with quiet dignity, "Sergeant Wyatt, I am sure, performs this important duty without thought of reward. It is the South that has need of such men in every branch of her service." He came forward, and extended his hand cordially. "I am General Lee, and am very glad to greet, and wish God speed to the son of Judge Wyatt If you return in safety, you will report to me in person at Richmond. General Jackson will so arrange with your battery commander." They were all upon their feet standing In respectful attention. I murmured something, I scarcely knew what bowing as I backed toward the door. And this was Lee—Robert E. Lee—this man with the kind, thoughtful face, the gentle voice, the gravely considerate manner. And he had greeted me in words of personal friendship, had spoken to me of my father. I know I straightened to soldierly erectness, every pulse thrilling with a new resolve. A moment I stood there, my eyes on the one face I saw before me, and then went out into the darkness. The orderly closed the door. CHAPTER II. An Unwelcome Companion. It was in the chill of a cold, gray morning that I rode into Strasburg, jogging along at the rear of a squadron of Fifth Virginia cavalrymen who chanced to be headed for the same place. These found quarters in the town, bat I proceeded a mile or more south on the valley'pike, until I reached a aingte-roomed cabin, heavy wooden shutters barring the window*, the door closed aad securely fastened The place to all appearances was deserted, and bad been for a long while Although situated scarcely a hundred feet back from the valley turnpike, which waa never without its travelers, aad akrag which armies marched aad eoantermarehed, the surroundings were those of a remote wOderneaa, I dismounted, aad leading my horse, pressed a difficult passage through the bashes. To my surprise the rear door stood slightly ajar, aad my eyes perceived the movement of aa ill-defined shadow withia. "HeOo there!" I called out, yet instinctrvely drawing a step backward, "is there say room here for a tired up on the Green Briar. WbM moot be yer name?" "Cowan," I answered promptly, my mind instantly alert, and aware I had made a mistake." "Ho! Ye don't say! One o' ol' Ned Cowan's boys?" "No. 1 am a son of Widow Cowan, over on Coal creek." There was not the faintest glimmer in the cold, blue eyes, no evidence of any recollection in the wrinkled face. His jaws rose and fell on the tobacco which extended his cheek. "I don't reckon I've been over that way ter nigh on fifteen year," he said at last reflectively. "An' somehow 1 don't just recall no Widow Cowan— but I know ol' Ned mighty well. He's took to the brush with his whole breed since this iracas started, an1 som' cus&es burned his house, an' sent the The tall, angular figure of a mountaineer immediately appeared in the doorway, aad a gray, wrinkled face, scraggry bearded, looked forth, the glinting aad filled with "WaL who be ye, an* what do ye 1 am a soldier."

It's plumb hell in Green Briar. Maybe yer a Cowan, but I'm d d if ye look like eny o' thet outfit ever I see afore. What part o' the army wus ye with?" "Sixty-fifth Virginia — Covington company, Captain Daniels." The older man chewed awhile in silence, evidently impressed with the seeming frankness of the reply. "Wal, ye mout be a Cowan, o' course," he admitted reluctantly. "Bnyhow I reckon it don't make no great difference, fer if ye be goln' ter Green Briar we kin ride awhile tergether. Two is better than one these days. Hitch yer hoss out thar In the scrub alongside o' mine, an' then come In yere. We'll eat a bite fust an' then lie down a spell, fer I've been a-ridin' most o' ther night myself." His voice was hardly as cordial as his words sounded,.but I felt it best to accept the rather surly invitation. I led my horse down the dim path indicated, until I came to where the other animal—a rangy, ill-groomed sorrel—waa securely hidden.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From Elma Heath's conversation at dinner that evening at Nice I gathered that she and her uncle had been guests on the Iris on several occasions, although t must Bay that Muriel was extremely reticent regarding all that concerned thV yacht" "Of course/' she said quickly. "Now that I have told you the truth, Jack, flon't you think it was only natural?" '•'"Most certainly, dear," he answered, still holding her hand. "Tours was not a secret that you could very well tell to me until you could thoroughly trust, me, especially as your father had been implicated In the theft of those documents from Malta. The truth Is," he said, turning to me, "Philip Leithceurt has all along been the catspaw of Baron Oberg. A few years ago he was a well-known money lender In the city, and in that capacity met the baron, who, being in disgrace, required a loan. He was also in the habit of having certain shady transactions with that daring gang of continental thieves of whom Dick Archer and Hylton Chater were leaders. For this reason he purchased a yacht for their use, so that they might not only use it for the purpose of storing the stolen goods, but for the purpose of sailing from place to place under the guise of wealthy Englishmen traveling for pleasure. Upon that vessel. Indeed, was stored thousands and thousands of pounds' worth of Jewels and objects of value, the proceeds of many great robberies in England, France and Belgium. Sometimes they traveled for the purpose of disposing of the jewels in various inland towns where the gems, having been recut, ^were not recognized, while at other "times, Chater and Archer, assisted by Mackintosh, the captain, and Olinto Santlnl, the steward, sailed for a port, landed, committed a robbery, and then sailed away again, quite unsuspected, as rich Englishmen." "And the crew?" I asked, after a pause. JThey were, of course, well paid, and were kept in ignorance of what the supposed owner and his friends did ashore." "But Oberg's connection with it?" I asked, surprised at those revelations. "Ah!" exclaimed Muriel. "The ingenuity of that crafty villain is fiendish. Before he got into the czar's favor he owed my father a large sum, and then sought how to evade repayment By means of his spies he discovered the real purpose of the cruises of the Iris—for I was often taken on board with a maid in order to allay any. suspicion that might arise if only men were cruising. Then he not only compelled my father to cancel the debt, but he impressed the •easel and those who owned and nasigated it into the secret service of Russia. A dosen times did we make attempts to obtain secret papers tram Italian, French and Bnntieh dockyards, hot only once in the case'of Malta and once at Toulon did we sac* coed. Ah!

Yon wifl no doubt reoollset the senby the theft of Jewels of the wa8 melted in a crucible and put ashore to be sent to agents in Hamburg." "But that night in Leghorn?" I said. 'What happened to poor Elma?" "I do not*know," was Muriel's reply. "We were both on board together, and standing at the crack of the door watched you sitting at dinner that evening. The instant, however, you went ashore, Chater, Woodroffe— whom you called Hornby—and Mackintosh, the captain—who, by the way, was an old tlcket-of-leave man—went ashore, and, of course, broke into the consulate. Then, as soon as they returned, Elma came to my cabin, awoke me, and said that the baron was taking her ashore, and that they were to travel overland back to London. She was ready dressed to go. I kissed her, and promising to meet her soon, we parted. That was the last I saw of her. What happened to her afterwards only she alone can tell us." "But she is not the baron's niece?" I said. "No. There is some mystery," declared Muriel. "She holds some secret which he fears she may divulge. But of what nature, I am In Ignorance." "You say that your father has never taken any active part in the robberies? Where is he now?** I asked. "Ah!" she exclaimed sadly, her face pale and haggard. "I have heard that the vessel was scuttled somewhere in the Baltic" 'That is true. Oberg's purpose having been served, he demanded half the property on board or he would give notice to the Russian naval authorities that the pirate yacht was afloat. He attempted to blackmail my father, as he had already done so many times, but his scheme was frustrated. My father, because of his inhuman treatment of poor Elma, defied him, when it appears that Oberg, who was in Helsingfors, telegraphed to'the admiral of the Russian fleet in the Baltic. The crew from the fris were at once landed at Riga, and only Mackintosh and my father put to sea again. Ah! my father was desperate, for he knew the merciless character of that man whose victim he had been for BO long. They watched a Russian cruiser bearing down upon them, when, just as it drew near, they got off in a boat and blew up the yacht, which sank in three minutes with its ill-obtained wealth on board." "And your father?" She was silent, and I saw tears standing in her eyes. "There was a tragedy,? Jack explained in a low, hoarse voice. "He and the captain did not unfortunately, get sufficiently far from the yacht when they blew her up, and they went down with her.** And I looked in silence at Muriel, who stood with her head bent and her white face covered with her hands. Almost at the same moment there was a low tap at the door, and the servant maid announced: "Mr. Santlnl, miss." "Ah!" exclaimed Jack quickly, as Olinto entered the room. T h e n yon had my note! We have ashed yon here to reveal to us this dastardly plot which seemed to have been termed against Mr. Gregg and myself. As yon know, I**e had a narrow es- "I know, signore. And the signer commendatore is also threatened.* "By whom?" "By those who hilled my poor wife, and who mtonded also to sOenee his answer. rho compelled you to to that noose where the fatal himself up to look like me, and kept the appointment in my place. Armlda, having received the letter unknown to me, went up to Scotland, and waB alao there at the appointed time. What actually transpired can only be surmised, yet It seems that Leithcourt was in the habit of going up to that spot and loitering there in the evening in order to meet Chater In secret, as the latter was In hiding in a small hotel in Dumfries. Therefore those who formed the plot must have endeavored to throw suspicion upon Leithcourt It is plain, however, as both myself and Annida knew the gang, it was to their interest to get rid of us, because the suspicions of the police had at last become aroused. Poor Armida was therefore deliberately enticed there to her death, while the inquisitive man whom the assassin took to be myself was alao struck down." "By whom?" "Not by Chater, for he was in London on that night- T h e n by Woodroffe V Durnford said. ^Without a doubt It was all most cleverly thought out. It was to his advantage alone to close our Ups, because in that same fatal chair in Lambeth old Jacob Moser, the Jew bullion broker of Hatton Garden, met his death—a most dastardly crime, with which none of his friends were associated, and of which we alone held knowledge. He therefore wrote to us as though from Leithcourt, calling us up to Rannoch, in order to strike the blows In the darkness," he added In his peculiar Italian manner. "Besides, he feared we would tell the signore the truth." "You have not told the policeT" "I dare not signore. Surely the less the police know about this matter the better, otherwise the Slgnorina Leithcourt must suffer for her father's avarice and evil-doing." "Yes," cried Jack anxiously. "That's right, Olinto. The police must know nothing. The reprisals we must make ourselves. But who was it who shot me in Suffolk street?" T h e same man, Martin Woodroffe." "Then the assassin is back from Russia?" VHe followed closely behind the Signor Commendatore. Markoff, a clever secret agent of Baron Oberg's, came with him." Then for the first time I recollected that the man I had recognized In the Strand was a fellow I had seen lounging In the anteroom of the palace of the governor-general of Finland. •The pair, fearing that I should reveal what I knew, were undoubtedly in London to take my life in secret. Now that Leithcourt was dead, Woodroffe had united forces with Oberg, and intended to silence me because they feared that Elma, besides escaping them, had also revealed her secret "I trust that the Slgnorina Leithcourt has explained the story of.the yacht and its crew," Olinto remarked. "And has also shown you how I was implicated. You will therefore discern the reason why I have hitherto feared to give you any explanation." "Yes," I said, "Miss Leithcourt has told me a great deal, but not everything. I cannot yet gather for what reason she and her father fled from Rannoch." "Then I will tell you," said Muriel quickly. "My father suspected Woodroffe of being the assassin in Rannoch wood, for he knew that he had broken away from the original compact and had now allied himself with Oberg. Yet it was also my father's object to appear in fear of them, because he was only awaiting an opportunity to lay plans for poor Kbna's rescue from Finland. Therefore one evening Woodroffe called, and my father encountered him in the avenue, and admitted him with his own latchkey by one of the side doors of the castle, afterwards taking him np to the study. He knew that he had come to try and make terms for Oberg, therefore he saw that he must fly at once to Newcastle, where the Iris lying, get on board, and sail Princess Zurloff brought her to London this afternoon, and I have Just conveyed her from the station. She Is In the next room, in ignorance, however, that you are here." And without another word I fled forward Joyfully, and threw open the folding doors which separated me from my silent love. Silent, yes! But she could, nevertheless, tell her story—surely the strangest that any woman has ever lived to tell. CHAPTER XVII. Contains Elma's Story. Before me stood my love, a slim, tragic, rather wan figure in a heavy dark traveling coat and felt toque, her sweet lips parted and a look of bewildered amazement upon her countenance as I burst in so suddenly upon her. In silence I grasped her tiny blackgloved hand, and then, also in silence, raised it passionately to my eager lips. Her soft, dark eyes—those eyes that spoke although she was mute— met mine, and in them waB a look that I had never seen there before—a look which as plainly as any words told me that my wild fevered passion was reciprocated. She gazed beyond into the room where the others had assembled, and then looked at me inquiringly, whereupon I led her forward to where they were, and Muriel, fell upon her and kissed her with tears streaming from her eyes. "I prepared this surprise for you, Mr. Gregg," Muriel said, laughing through her tears of joy. "Olinto learned that she was on Ler way to London, and I sent him to meet her. The princess has managed magnificently, has she not?" "Yes. Thank God she is free!" I exclaimed. "But we must induce her to tell us everything." Muriel was already helping my love out of her heavy Russian coat a costly garment lined with sable, and when, after greeting Jack and Olinto, she was comfortably seated, I took some notepaper from the little writing table by the window and scribbled in pencil the words: "I need not write how delighted I am that you are safe—that the Almighty has heard my prayers for you. Jack and Muriel have told me all "With some excuse he loft him In the atndy, and then warned my mother and myself to prepare to leave. Bat whfie we were packing.

I know, too, dear—tor I may call you t h a t may I not?—how terribly you must have suffered in silence through it all Leithcourt is dead. He sank the yacht with all the stolen property oh board,'but by accident was himself engulfed." Bonding and watching- intently as I wrote, she drew back in horror and surprise at the words. Then I added: "We are all four determined that the guilty shall not go unpunished, and that the aJUetion placed upon yon shall he adequately avenged. Ton are hold —^1111¾% to oa&youso.

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

She will return home after her graduation in July, and will then be the first woman to practice law in Hawaii. Miss Ashford is the daughter of Judge 0. W. Ashford of Honolulu.

Despite the rain the evening before, a huge crowd gathered for the fit. Mary's picnic in Jackson's Grove last Thursday. The ladies of the parish out did themselves furnishing good things to eat. AH went well until about three o'clock, the time set for the speech making, when down came such a torrent of rain that several were drenched as shelter could not be provided for all composing the large assembly. As a consequence the ball game as well as the speeches had to be called off. It looked rather dubious as to whether the showers at night would hold off long enough for people to attend the dance at the opera house, but about fifty couple braved the storm and enjoyed a fine time. Several couple from surrounding towns were also present at the dance. Every person big and little enjoyed the day, even though the rain did make things rather uncomfortable.

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

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

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

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

Washington—A communication, in the form of a reply to the Austria^ Hungarian protest against the ship, ping of war supplies to the Allies by American manufacturers, was made public Monday morning. Vienna is informed that this government will not; consider an embargo on this shipping. While President Wilson in this note, as in all others to European governments on the war Issues, takes his stand firmly upon the principles involved and upon the usage of nations, he introduces another feature which by many Is regarded as the most striking of the note. The president bases his refusal to consider the Austrian suggestion on the principal grounds of its effect upon the ability of the United States to meet a foe in the event of war. This government tells Austria that it has been the policy of the United States from the foundation of the republic not to maintain In time of peace a large military establishment or stores of arms and ammunition; that the United States has, in fact, always depended upon the right and power to purchase arms and ammunition from neutral nations in case of foreign attack. The following are pertinent paragraphs of the communication: "In this connection it is pertinent to direct the attention of the imperial and royal government to the fact that Austria-Hungary and Germany, partlculary the latter, have during the years preceding the present European war produced a surplus of arms and ammunition which they sold throughout the world and especially to belligerents. Never during that period did either of them suggest or apply the principle now advocated by the imperial and royal government." "Perceiving, as it does, that the adoption of the principle that it is the duty of a neutral to prohibit the sale of arms and ammunition to a belligerent during the progress of a war would inevitably give the advantage to the belligerent which encouraged the manufacture of munitions in time of peace and which had laid in vast stores of arms and ammunition In anticipation of war, the government of the United StateB Is convinced that the adoption of the theory would force militarism on the world and work against that universal peace which is the desire and purpose of all nations which exalt justice and right progress in their relations with one another." "In view of the positive assertion in the statement of the imperial and royal government as to the unanimity of the text writers as to the exportation of contraband being unneutral, this government has caused a careful examination of the principal authorities on international laws to he made. As a result of this examination It has come to the conclusion that the Imperial and royal government has been misled and has inadvertently made an erroneous assertion. Lees than one-fifth of the authorities advocate unreservedly the prohibition of the export o fcontraband. Several of those who constitute this minority admit that the practice of nations has been otherwise. It may not be inopportune to direct particular attention to the declaration of the German authority, Paul Ielnicke, who states that at the beginning of a war, belligerents have never remonstrated against the enactment of prohibitions on trade in contraband but adds 'but suoh prohibitions may be considered as viola* tlons of neutrality or at least as unfriendly acts, if they are enacted during a war with the purpose to close unexpectedly the sources of supply to s partv which heretofore had relied on them.' "The government of the United States deems it unnecessary to extend further, at the present time, a statement to the Austrlsa-Hunjarlaa government The principles of international law, the practioe of nations, tht national safety of the United States and ether nar'nus without great military and ns 1 establishments, the prevention of increased armies and navies, the adoption of peaceful methods for the adjnstanent of internatlea* el differences and finally, neutrality itself are opposed to the prosUbttloo by a neutral nation of the tkm of arms, ainmaattlon*, or 'ttsmtttoas of war to bettgeront now « • during the ptogress of the, war. -(Signed) "LAXStNO." Dried fruit is quite as nice as fresh but it has been overworked In the alleged interest of economy. It will make a dessert second to none, if properly used. The covered enameled ware <uaae role is the proper cooking utensil for dried fruit Let it soak over night and cook very slowly, and it will regain its shape and also Its finest flavor. In addition it should hare some sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes soaked in just enough wine to cover them and then cooked in this way taste like something costly. Apricots cooked with raisins are good So are dried apples cooked in the good, old fashioned way, in cider. A mixture of two or three kinds of dried fruit all cooked together, is good. Dried peaches —add a little vanilla to the sirup when they are done. Dried cherries are not used here to any extent but In England, where the cherry is an old and famous fruit they are used with currants^ n plum cake, and very nice they are. It is perfectly practicable to use any sort of dried fruit cooked slowly in this way, to add flavor to bread puddings or steamed puddings. The fruit can be either mixed with the bread pudding or put In the dish with the bread on top, or In layers; but when It 1B used the bread should not be soaked in milk; the fruit juice will make enough moisture, and the bread should merely be soaked enough In water to make It soft and cooked with the fruit, covered. WOLVERINE News Brevities FOR -THE MORNING REPAST Some Dishes Thst Are More Than Usually Acceptable In the Hot Weather. In the summer this meal should be simple and of wholesome, easily digested food. Of course things must be tasty, and quite as much thought and pains should be expended on a light breakfast as on a heavy one. Foods should be selected in reference to their suitability to one another and the season. The Sunday morning breakfast should be different Banish from the Sunday morning breakfast table anything that is served on week day mornings except coffee. Here are a few simple menus which may serve as a guide: Peaches or stewed pears, hominy, poached eggs on toast cocoa or coffee. Raspberries or blackberries, fried egg plant, toast, coffee. Blackberries, cream of wheat, molded eggs, toast coffee. Fruit cereal, small broiled lamb chops, with cold asparagus; rolls, coffee. Fruit cereal, an omelet with peas, asparagus or tomatoes, biscuits, coffee. Fruit cereal, a well-soaked salt mackerel, boiled or broiled, with a cream parsley sauce; rolls, cocoa or coffee. Fruii, cereal, creamed dried beef, muffins, coffee. Chop fine a cupful of dried beef. Put over the fire with one gill of cream or milk. Season with pepper and stir in four beaten eggs. When thick turn over squares of hot buttered toast Bake Vegetables. Do uot boil vegetables in the oldfashioned way and throw away most of the substance in the water. Cook them in the oven and preserve the flavor and prevent odors in the house. This last is especially true of sauerkraut, cabbage and onions, if you have no casserole cook them in a granite pan, placed In a pan of water in the oven. If to be served with a cream sauce, pour a thin sauce over the raw vegetables and cook till tender, or cook with butter or meat frylogs or bacon.

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

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

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

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