REAR ADMIRAL RETIRES ON ACCOUNT OF AGE SEN. S C O n GOES TO VILLA It Is Expected That Chief of Army Can Do Much to Bring Bandit to Terms of Conference. Washington—With the closing of preliminary conferences . regarding Fan-American interference for peace tn Mexico, and the departure Friday of General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, to EI Paso to confer with General Francisco Villa, it was apparent that the ftrtt stage of procedure has. been passed. General Scott fcces, wnoffiolally, with the avowed purpose of bringing Villa to terms. He is prepared to aire some plain talk to the peppery bandit chief, and it is hoped that he » a y be able to eliminate Villa completely as a factor in peace plans. It was reported that the general form of the final appeal to the factional leaders had been agreed upon by the conferees and adjournment taken while Mr. Lansing laid it before the president. The appeal will be addressed to the Mexican people. Copies will be pretested to the various Mexican leadare, to the governors of the Mexican states without regard to the faction thoy represent, and also be circulated throughout Mexico by American and Latin-American consular officers, bear- Jag the ratification of all South and Central American governments. Two days of conferences and hearing reports have brought all the partialpamta in accord with President Wilson's general plan which is promised on tho fact that the great majority of tho people of Mexico desire peace, which Is to be lasting. While all the partiolpants are in sympathy with the president's plan to Induce the military factions to enter another peace conference, and have signified their willingness to cooperate with it to the fullest extent, the South Americans are not sanguine of success unless some way can be found for elimination of the military leaders and recognition of all classes In Mexico.

' REBEL CHIEF IS CAPTURED Choice of President Is Indefinitely Postponed On til Insurrections Are All Quelled and Order Restored. CHARLE8 J. BADGER. Washington—Rear-Admiral Charles J. Badger retired Friday on account of age, but because olj his special qualifications will continue on duty indefinitely in connection with the army and navy joint board and the navy general board, which are working out national defense problems. Admiral Badger was born in Rockville, Md., August 6, 1858, and appointed to the naval academy by President Grant. He was commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet from January 4, 1918, until its return from the Mexican gulf coast after the American occupation of Vera Crux. Port au Prince—The election of a president of the republic to take the place of General Vilbrun Guillaume, who was removed from the French legation by a mob of Haitians July 28 and shot to death, was postponed Sunday for an indefinite period. The election was to have taken place Sunday. The American naval forces Sunday at Croix-Des-Bouquets, near Port au Prince, repressed some disorder on the part of a band of brigands. The chief of the band was taken prisoner and placed on board the United States cruiser Washington. Other disorders are reported to have occurred at St. Marc and Aux Cayes. GERMANS OCCUPY WARSAW Polish Capital Evseuated by Russians —New Government Will Be a Semi-Autonomous Stats. r Former Cabinet Member Dead. New York—General Benjamin Franklin Tracy, who was President Harrison's secretary of the navy, died of paralysis here Friday, after a period of unconsciousness lasting nine day*. He was 84 years old. General Tracy's death occurred ahortly after 8:80 p. m., and followed a fight for life that had amazed the physician at his bedside. Only his extraordinary vitality had kept him alive for the better part of the past weak. New Commander For French. Paris—General Maurice Sarrail has bean appointed commander of the French forces at the Dardanelles, it was announced Friday.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This battle resulted in defeat for the French and English While obtaining some successes In counter-attacks on the advancing Germans at Parenne and at Guise, the French were obliged to fan back rapidly to the line of the River Ifarne.

The Invaders took up an ad* mirable defensive position. It ran just north of the Aisne river, on a series of bluffa, then just north of Chalons and through the wooded, rough regions of the Argonne and the Woevre, joining hands here with the troops besieging Verdun. The allies have tried this line in vain erer since. Both combatants now tried to turn the west flank. Enoraoui bodies of cavalry. On the part of t&e, French Flanders.

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

CAMPAIGNS IN THE EAST The first twelvemonth of fighting between the Russians on one side and the Austrlans and Germans on the other is a story of great changes of fortune, both combatants being repeatedly driven back only to show the greatest resiliency In defeat and soon to resume the offensive in a most surprising manner. Russia's losses in the first year of the war are not approached by those of any nation in any war of history. 8low to Mobilize. On August 1, 1914, Germany declared war on Russia Almost Immediately the Germans crossed the frontier at Thom and the Austrlans south of Lublin. They were practically unopposed because of the slowness of mobilization in Russia. The Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholalevitch was forced to gather his main armies well to the rear of the line of great fortresses running through Kovno, Grodno. Ossowets, Novo Georgievsk, Warsaw and Ivangorod. On account of his desire to do all he could to relieve the French, who were being driven from northern France by the amastng German rush through Belgium, Ntctiolas attacked sooner than he otherwise would have done. As a result, he met two disasters. He sent General Samsonoff into East Prussia from the south and General Rennenkampf into East l»russia from the east, the latter winning the first large engagement of the war in the East at Gnmbinen. At this moment the Germans, believing that the French were well in hand and about to be surrounded on their eastern frontier, quickly withdrew 250,000 men from France and hurled them by rail into East Prussia, where they fell upon Samsonoff with crushing force in the great German victory of Tanneaberg (Aug. 28). Meanwhile, the Austrlans, leaving only a few troops In Gallcia to hold back the Russiam advancing from Tarnopol on the line ot the Gnila-Lipa, struck the Russians en masse at Krasnik and routed them to Lublin. Most Bloody Drive of Wsr. With two armies in difficulty, the grand- duke decided to abandon one to its fate and save the other. He, threw re-enforcements into Lublin aad ordered the line of the Gnila- Lipa rrrer be forced at any cost. In one of the most bloody drives of the war the Russians advanced into eastern GaUda and occupied Lemberg. The Russians then advanced to Rawa Ruska an4 took the Austrian armies in Poland in the roar, cutting them up frightfully.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In every generation there is apt to spring up a body of men who, adding to natural abilities and an uncommon stock of assurance a certain amount of specialized knowledge, terrorize the rest of the world under the guise of "experts." Thinking that they find something rotten in the state of Denmark, incapable of calm reflection, and eager for notoriety, they hit upon a specific for what is amiss, compared with which all others are spurious imitations. Their field of interest may range from solar mythology to eugenics, but the threefold badge of the tribe is an overweening belief in their own infallibility coupled with a proportionate contempt for ordinary human beings, the command of a barbarous jargon and an irrepressible desire to badger and bully their unfortunate fellow- creatures.

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

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

FIGHT THE JNSECT PESTS For the little white fly, use sulphotobacco soap according to directions on the package. For rose bugs, in the evening place two or three ounces of quassia-chips (to be had of the druggist) in a pall,-and fill with boiling water—two or three gallons according to site of pail. Let stand until next morning, then apply the liquid to the plant with a garden syringe, getting the tea on all sides of the foliage and stems. If the tea is applied hand hot it will be more effective. A strong soap suds made of any good white soap, if applied quite warm, Is discouraging to the bug population, and is especially "good" for the green louse or aphis. Red spiders affect the outdoor as well as indoor plants in droughty weather, and are usually found on the under side of the foliage, causing the leaves to turn brown and to curl at the edges,* If badly affected, strip the leaves from the plants and burn them. Rose plants will take no hurt from this method, but some plants cannot stand being disleaved. and must be sponged with soap-Buds, leaf by leaf, hand hot Frequent syringing of the whole plant with clear water will keep down many pests. Asters suffer from root-lioe,* which invariably kill them in a short time, If undisturbed. These lice also affect chrysanthemum*, clematis and like planta. Where these pests are at Work there will be ants also. To destroy the lice draw the soil away from the roots and soak the earth with a solution of good soap and quite warm—almost hot—water or tobacco tea. The ants will leare, then the aphis are killed. Hand-picking seems the only remedy for the blister bug and It mast be attended to several times a day.

He had been much interested in the spread of the jitney idea, and the other day, when starting out to the county seat of hlB county, he saw a number of his fellow citizens waiting at the railroad station for a train to the same place, and decided to do a little jitneying himself. Driving up to the station he called out what lis friends took to be a cordial invitation to joy ride to the county capital, and they accepted promptly. On arriving at the courthouse they were surprised— and grieved—by a demand for 50 cents apiece. "Pay nothin'!" exclaimed one. "You never said a word about pay.

You are instructed to deliver texfcually the following not to the minister for foreign affairs: ' The note of the imperial German government, dated the 8th of July, ¢1916, has received the careful consid- S*ation of the. government of the nlted States, and it regrets to be obliged to say that It has found it very unsatisfactory, because It falls to meet the real differences between the two governments' and indicates no way in which the accepted principles of law and humanity may be applied in the grave matter in controversy, but proposes, on the contrary, arrangements for a partial suspension of those principles which virtually set them aside. The government of the United States notes with satisfaction that the Imperial government recognizes without reservation the validity of the principles insisted on in the several communications which this government has addressed to the Imperial German government with regard to its announosmenjt of a war tone, and the use of submarines against merchantmen on the high eeaa—the principle that the high seat are free, that the character and cargo of a merchantman must first be ascertained before she can lawfully be seized or destroyed, and that the lives of non-combatants may in no ease be put in jeopardy unless the vessel resists or seeks to escape after being summoned to submit to examination; for a belligerent act of retaliation is per se an act beyond the law, and the defense of an act as retaliatory is an admission that it is illegal. The government of the United fitatee is, however, keenly disappointed to find that the Imperial German government regards itself as in large degree exempt from the cause of a mere alteration of circumstance. The rights of neutrals in time of war are based upon principle, not upon expediency, and the principles are immutable. It is the duty and obligation of belligerents to And a way to adapt the new circumstances to them. The events of the past two months have clearly indicated that it is possible and practicable to conduct Buch submarine operations as have characterized the. activity of the Imperial German navy within the so-called war zone in substantial accord with the accepted practices of regulated warfare. The whole world has looked with interest and increasing satisfaction ajt the demonstration of that possibility by German naval commanders. It is manifestly possible, therefore, to lift the whole practice of submarine attack above the criticism which It has aroused and remove the chief causes of offense. In view of the admission of illegality made by the Imperial government when it pleaded the right of retaliation in defense of its acts, and In view.of the manifest possibility of conforming to the established rules of naval warfare, the government of the United States cannot believe that the imperial government will longer refrain from disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander in sinking the Lusitania or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made for a needless destruction of human life by an Illegal act. The government of the United States, while not indifferent to the friendly spirit In which it is made, cannot accept the suggestion of the Imperial German government that certain vessels be designated and agreed upon which shall be free on the seas now illegally prescribed. The very agreement would, by implication, subject other vessels to illegal attack and would be a curtailment and therefore an abandonment of the principles for which this gov* AUTHORITIES ATTEMPT TO PLACE THE BLAME Excursion Boat Loaded With Twenty- Five Hundred People Bound for Michigan City to Attend Picnic. for Employees of Western Electric Co. Chicago—The excursion steamer, Eastland, loaded with about twentyfive hundred picnickers, turned over while standing at the Clark street dock in the Chicago river Saturday morning. Official records show a loss of 1,467 lives. They were for the most- part women and children bound for the outing of the employees' of the Western Electric Co., at Michigan City. Panic struck the passengers when the boat began to turn over. Best accounts of witnesses said the steamer rolled slightly twice, then turned further and that' hundreds of screaming, struggling men, women and children slid across the sloping decks, fought for room and clutched at companions, deck chairs or any other object that came to hand. Women and children by the hundreds were caught below decks and the scratched faces, torn clothing and bruised bodies of the dead bore mute evidence of the desperation with which they had fought for life. The steamer turned over in less than five minutes. Members of the crew shouted warnings as the steamer first tilted and endeavored to drive the passengers to the upper side of the deck, but the incline was already too steep. Slowly, so as to agonize the spectators drawn to the scene by the shouts of warning and fear, the great steel hulk turned bottom up, pouring its passengers into the river. EASTLAND WAS BUILT . IN PORT HURON YARDS Port Huron—The Bteajner Bast land was constructed at this port by the Jenks Shipbuilding Co. i i 1903. At that time the steamer was considered one of the fines': on fresh water and the was designed to oave a speed of more than :<' miles an hour. The furnishings of the boat were expensive and designed by artists and experts from original ideas. vAs originally designed, the steam or was an un usually safe boat, but later changes were made at the rtquest of the owners, and more upper wojrka added to increase her passenger accommodations. At the time of the launching, the event brought nun dreds of people to Port Huron.

Some were scratched and clawed, their clothing was torn and their faces were bruised. Three huge dredges were put to work; on the order of W. Burkhardt, commissioner of public works, in an effort to stand the Eastland on end. To prevent possibility of bodies being swept down the river, orders 'were issued at the ^great pumping stations which force the water from the lake to the drainage canal, to reverse the process sufficiently to make the water stagnant. obligation to observe these princi- erament contends and which in pies, even where neutral vessels are k i m e a o f clamor counsels every na concerned, by what it believes the policy and practice of the government of Great Britain is in the present war with regard to neutral commerce. The Imperial German government will readily understand that the government of the United States cannot discuss the policy of the government of Great Britain with regard to neutral trade except with that government itself, and that it must regard the conduct of other belligerent governments as irrelevant to any discussion with the Imperial German government of what this government regards as grave and unjustifiable violations of the rights of American citizens by German naval commanders. Illegal and inhuman acts, however Justifiable they may be thought to tion would concede as of course. The government of the United States and the Imperial German government are contending for the same Boat Loaded to Capacity. Some 7,000 tickets had been distributed for the excursion and five steamers chartered by the company. The Eastland was first'to receive its quota, and when its chartered capacity was reached federal inspectors ordered that no more be tar ken aboard. The boat was docked on the south side of the river and when the hundreds hurrying to the boat were turned back from it they streamed across the Clark street bridge to the steamer Theodore Roosevelt, which was to take the second load. Screams of the Baatland victims 11*1 ? b J e C l hEV*l l 0 n g ^ " J ,t0* Mlted gether in urging the very principles this rush and the bridge was upon which the government of the United States now so solemnly insists. They are both contending for the freedom of the seas. The government of the United States will contend for that freedom, from whatsver quarter violated, without compromise and at any cost It invites the practical co-operation of the Imperial German government at this time when co-operation may accomplish most and this great, common object be most strikingly and effectively achieved. The Imperial German government be against an enemy who is believed expresses the hope that this object to have acted in contravention of Daw aad humanity, are manifestly indefensible when they deprive neutrals of their acknowledged rights, particularly when they violate the right to life itself. If a belligerent jeannot retaliate against an enemy without injuring the lives of neutrals as weU as their property, humanity, as wen as justice and a due retard tor the dignity of neutral powers, should dictate that the practice he discontinued. If persisted in |t would la such circumstances con may be in some measure accomplished even before the present war ends. It can be. The government of the United States not only feels obliged to insist upon it, by whomsoever violated or ignored, in the protection of its own citizens, but is also deeply interested in seeing it made practicable between the belligerents themselves, and holds itself ready at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a way. In the meantime the very raise jammed with people unti police, fearful that the structure would collapse, ordered it cleared. Mercantile concerns hurried motor trucks to the scene laden with blankets to warm the living or cover the dead. Pulmotors by the score were sent to the dock. Physicians, police, firemen, government life-savers and nurses were summoned.

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

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

"And if Elma Heath again falls into his unscrupulous hands, she will die," I declared. "Ah!" he sighed, looking me straight in the face, "I swear that what you say la only too true. She evidently holds some secret which he fears she will reveal. He wishes to rearrest her In order—well-r" he added in a low tone, "in order to close her lips.

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

What was the cause of her inexplicable disappearance Into the gloomy forest while we had slept? I returned to the hotel where I had stayed on my arrival, a comfortable place called the Phoenix, and lunched there alone. Both Felix, the Finn, and my host, the wood cutter, had received their douceurs and left, but to the last-named I had given instructions to return home at once and report by telegraph any news of my lost one. A thousand conflicting thoughts arose within me as I sat in that crowded salle a manger filled with a gobbling crowd of the commercial men of Abo. I had, I recognized, now to deal with the most powerful man in that country, and I suffered a distinct disadvantage by being in ignorance of the reason he held that sweet English girl a prisoner. The tragedy of the dastardly manner in which she had been willfully maimed caused my blood to boil within me. I had never believed that in this civilised twentieth century such things could be. Why she had disappeared without warning I was at loss to imagine, yet I could only surmise that her flight had been compulsory. Another very curious feature in the affair was the sudden manner in which Michael Boranski had exacted his power and influence in order to render me that service. There was, I felt convinced, some hidden motive in all that sudden and marked friendliness. That he really hated the English I had seen plainly when we bad first met and I had only compelled him to serve me by presenting the order signed by the emperor, which made me his guest within the Russian dominions. Even that document did not account for the length he had gone to secure the release of the woman I now loved in secret I could not bring myself to leave Finland, and allow Elma to fan into the clutches of that high official who so persistently sought her end. No. I would go to him and face him. I was anxious to see what manner of man was "The Strangler of Finland." That same evening 1 left Abo, and traveled by ran to Helsingfors. At noon I descended from a drosky before a long, gray, masstve bunding, otwr the big doorway of which was a large escutcheon hearing the Russian arms emMaeoned in gold, and OH entering where a sentry stood on either side, a colossal concierge In Ifrery of bright Mne and gold came forward to Following his difoatlonsy I •> l tag a onrd to Ooiones took my who be informed me was the torn** nrtvate wfflewyeotf ywwlQ He Turned Slightly. I Than Saw His Bony Face. see his face against the strong, gray light behind. But when the footman had bowed and retired and we were alone, he turned slightly, and I then saw that his bony face, with high cheek bones, slight gray side whiskers, hard mouth and black eyes set closely together, was of one who could act without any compunction and without regret Truly one would not be. surprised at any cruel, dastardly action of a man with such a face—the face of an oppressor. "Well?" he snapped in French in a high-pitched voice. "You want to see me concerning that mad English girl? What picturesque lies do you Intend to tell me concerning her?" "I have no intention of telling any untruths concerning her," was my quick response, a I meed him unflinchingly. "She has told mo sufficient to—" His eyes met mine, and I saw by his drawn face and narrow brows that my words were canting him the utmost consternation. My object was to make him believe that I knew more than X really did—to hold him in fear, in fact "Perhaps the man whom tome know at Hornby, or Woodroffe, could tell an interesting story," I went on* "Ho will, no doubt when ho meets Elma Heath, and finds the terrible affliction of which the hat boon the fletim.* H3o thin, bony oonntentnoo wan bloodless, bis mouth twitched and his gray brewt conttnoted qulekiy. 1 heveirt t i e matt mean* my * dear atrV he -AH that yon any is entirety leaf to me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

But it is unlawful to hunt on any enclosed land without the consent of the owner, and there the farmers have their remedy, and if farmers would combine and prevent hunting OD their premises they would do much toward preserving game from extinction.

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

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

For removing bunches under the collar, on top ot" the neck and under the saddle while working the horse every day, does not make any difference whether they are on swerver or hitcher in these cases.

CURb&TT'S HEAVE REMEDY A Relief, Benefit, Help and Cure for Coughs, Colds, Distemper, Short or Thick Wind, Heaves and Bellus Heaves in the Early Stages and warranted to relieve in advanced stages, if not producing a cure. This is very strongly recommended for producing a fine, smooth skin and freeing the blood from gross humors. A horse is better able to work by each dose and will increase in flesh, muscle, life and vim. It costs $2.00 to $6.00 to cure a case, of Heaves, and it may cost $8.00 to cure some old Heaver. You can cure a Heaver in winter cheaper than in summer as th? winter air acts as a bracing tonic and more easily when working as the horse gets fresh air and exercise.

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

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

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

Dean Swift long ago analysed some of the ways in which people tire each other in conversation, says the Boston Herald. The man who talks constantly and exclusively about his business, his allings, his family, his books, his misfortunes, who always wants to prescribe for his acquaintances or advise them soon condemns himself to solitude even in the midst of numbers. Labeled once with the pregnant monosyllable, his way clears before him as by magic, for others cultivate the little strategies which keep them out of range. Yet any man may become a bore at times. A good deal depends upon moods and circumstances. Poetic Justice indeed would require Mutt bores be extinguished by enforced, association with their own kind. The most severe social punishment inflicted upon one of the species by a great man who had not acquired the fatal facility which tolerates fools was administered by Doctor Johnson. Said the bore: "My dear doctor, what would you give to be as young and sprightly JM I am?" Thundered the lexicographer in reply: "Why, sir, I would almost be content to be as foolish."

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

Rollln in uis ancient history says, "The government of Carthage was founded upon principles of the most consummate wisdom." And on the same page tbe historian makes this record la reference to the same people (the fortunes of war had gone against them): tlThey attributed this to tbe anger of their god, Saturn, because that, instead of offering up children nobly born, who were usually sacrificed to him, there had been fraudulently substituted in their stead the children of slaves and foreigners. To stone for this crime 200 children of the best fumfHes of Carthage were sacrificed to Saturn, besides which up. ward of 300 citizens from a sense of guilt of this pretended crime volunta* rily sacrificed themselves. Dlodorus adds that there was a brazen statue of Saturn, the hands of .which turned downward, so that when a child was laid on them it dropped immediately Into a hollow, where was a fiery furnace."

Aii army engineer once gave a dem onstratiou on tbe Lake of the Woods, on the Canadian border, of the old saying that au engineer is a man whose business it is to do a task at half the cost others would incur. A dredge locked in the ice needed repairs nearly three feet below the water line. The surrounding Ice at the time was nearly two feet thick. A trench eighteen Inches deep was cut in tbe ice round the dredge. The next night the cojd froze an inch or two of ice directly under this trench, and on the day following another inch of Ice was dug out of the trench. Day after day an inch of ice, more or less, was chipped out of the trench, according to the intensity of cold on the preceding night. In a month the trench was nearly three feet deep, with a safe block of ice beneath It Repairs to the boll were then easily made. — Saturday Evening Post You May <av P F P W toOne Man But an this paper talks to the whole community.

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

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

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

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

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

"Baron Oberg—governor general of Finland!" I gasped. "Certainly. Did you not know V she said, dropping into French. I t is four years now that be has held supreme power to crush and Russify these poor Finns. Ah, m'&leurl this country, once so prosperous, is a blot upon the face of Europe. His methods are the worst and most unscrupulous of any employed by Russia. Before he came here he was the best hated man in Petersburg, and that, they say, is why the emperor sent him to us." "Where does this baron live?" I asked, surprised that he should occupy so high a place in Russian officialdom —the representative of the csar, with powers as great as the emperor himself. "At the Government palace, in Helsingfors." "And Elma Heath is here—in this grim fortress 1 Why?" "Ah, m'sieur, how can I tell? By reason of family secrets, perhaps. They account for so much, you know." The fact that the baron was ruler of Finland amased me, for I had half expected him to be some clever adventurer. Yet as the events of the past flashed through my brain, I recollected that in Rannoch Wood had been found the miniature of the Russian Order of Saint Anne, a distinction which, in all probability, had been conferred upon him. If so, the coincidence, to say the least, was a remarkable one. I Questioned my companion further regarding the baron. "Ah, m'sieur," she declared, "they call him The Strangler of the Finns.' It was he who ordered the peasants of Kasko to be flogged until four of them died—and the csar gave him the Star of White Eagle for it—he who suppressed half the newspapers and put eighteen editors in prison for publishing a report of a meeting of the Swedes in Helsingfors; he who encourages corruption and bribery among the officials for the furtherance of Russian Interests; he who has ordered Russian to be the official language, who has restricted public education, who has overtaxed and ground down the people until now the mine is laid, and FiaUnd is ready for open revolt The prisons are' filled with the" innocent; women are flogged; the poor are starving, and The Strangler,' as they call him, reports to the csar that Finland is submissive and is Russianlsed!" I had heard something of this abominable state of affairs from time to time from the English press, but had never taken notice of the name of the oppressor. So the uncle of Elma Heath was "The Strangler of Finland," the man who, in four years, had reduced a prosperous country to a state of ruin and revolt 1 "Cannot I see her at once?" I asked, feeling that we had remained too long there. If my presence in that place was perilous the sooner I escaped from it the better. "Tea, come," she said. "But silence! Walk softly," and holding up the old horn lantern to give me light she led me out into the low stone corridor again, conducting me through a number of Intricate passages, all bare and gloomy, the stones worn hollow by the feet of ages, into a small, square chamber, the floor of which was carpeted, and where, suspended high above, was a lamp that shad but a faint light over the baretyfnrnished place, Beyond was another smaller room into which the old nun disappeared for a moment; then she came forth leading a strange wan little figure in a gray gown, a figure whose face was the most perfect and most lovely I had ever seen. Her wealth of chestnut hair fell disheveled about her shjaldsrs, and as her hands wars olaspwd before: bar she looked straight at me in surprise as she wag Isd towards ma She walked but feebly, and her oountenanos was deathly pate, Her dress, as she came beneath the laian, was, 1 saw, coarse, yet eJean, and hsi fat, regular faatnres, whloh in photograph bad head saw Is aweh myself to you?

I noticed that her great brown eyes watched*" my lips and not my !ace. Her own lips moved, but she looked at me with an inexpressible sadness. No sound escaped bar. 1 stood rigid before her as one turned to stone, for in that instant in a flash indeed, I realised the awful truth. She was both deaf and dumb I She raised her clasped hands to me in silence, yet with tears welling in her splendid eyes. I saw that upon her wrists were a pair of bright steel gyves. "What is this place?" I demanded of the woman in the religious habit when I recovered from the shock of the poor girl's terrible affliction. "Where am IV9 "This is the Castle of Kajana—the criminal lunatic asylum of Finland," was her answer. "The prisoner, as you see, has lost both speech and hearing." "Deaf and dumb!" I cried, looking at the beautiful original of that destroyed photograph on board the Lola. "But she has not always been sol" "No. I think not always," replied the sister quietly. , "But she can write responses to my questions?" "Alas! no," was the old woman's whispered reply. "Her mind is affected. She is, unfortunately, a hopeless lunatic." I looked straight into those sad, wide-open, yet unflinching brown eyes utterly confounded. Those white wrists held in steel, that pale face and blanched lips, the inertness of her movements, all told their own tragic tale. And yet that letter I had read, dictated in Becret most probably because her hands were not free, was certainly not the outexcitement and nodded quickly. Then holding her steel-clasped wrists towards me she looked wistfully at me, as though imploring me to release her from the awful bondage in that silent tomb. Though the woman who had led me there endeavored to prevent It, I handed her the pencil, and placed the paper on the table for her to write. The nun tried to snatch it up, but I held her arm gently and forcibly, saying in French: "No. I wish to see if she is really insane. You will at least allow me this satisfaction." And while we were in altercation, Elma, with the pencil in her fingers, tried to write, but by reason of her hands being bound so closely was unable. At length, jpsrever, after several attempts, she succeeded in printing in uneven capitals the responsar "I know you. You were on the yacht I thought they killed you." . The thin-faced old woman saw her response—a reply that was surely rational enough—and her brows contracted with displeasure. "Why are you here?" I wrote, no* allowing the sister to get sight of my question. In response, she wrote painfully and laboriously: "I am condemned for a crime I did not commit. Take me from here, or I shall kill myself." "Ah!" exclaimed the old woman, "You see, poor girl, she. believes herself innocent! They all do." "But why is she here?" I demanded fiercely. "I do not know, m'sieur. It is not my duty to Inquire the history of their crimes. When they are ill I nurse them; that is all." "And who is the commandant of this .fortress?* "Colonel Smirnoff. If he knew that I had admitted you, you would never leave this place alive. This is the Schusselburg of Finland—the place of imprisonment for those who have conspired against the state." "The prison of political conspirators, eh?" "Alas, m'sieur, yes! The- place in which some of the poor creatures are tortured in order to obtain confessions and information with as much cruelty as In the black days of the Inquisition. These walls are thick, and their cries are not heard from the oubliettes below the lake." I had long ago heard of the horrors of Schusselburg. Indeed who has not heard of them who has traveled in Russia? The very mention of the modern bastile on Laker Ladoga, where no prisoner has ever been known to come forth alive, is sufficient to cause any Russian to turn pale. And I was in the Schusselburg of Finland! I turned over the sheet of paper and wrote the question; "Did Baron Oberg send you here?" In response, she printed the words: "I believe so. I was arrested in Helsingfors. Tell Lydia where I am." "Do you know Muriel Leithcourt?" I inquired by the same means, whereupon she replied that they were at school together. "Did you see me on board the Lola?" I wrote. "Yes. But I could not warn youj although I bad overheard their intentions. They took me ashore when you haJ_gone^t2 Siena.

She had kept her secret and she wished the man Hornby—the man who was to marry Muriel Leithcourt—to know. The room in which we stood was evidently an apartment set apart for her use, for beyond was the tiny bedchamber; yet the small, high-up window was closely barred, and the cold bareness of the prison was sufficient indeed to cause anyone confined there to prefer death to captivity. Again I spoke to her slowly and kindly, but there was no response. That she was absolutely dumb wag only too apparent Yet surely she had not always been so! I had gone in search of her because the beauty of her portrait had magnetised me, and I had now found her to be even mors lovely than her picture, yet alas! suffering from an affliction that rendered her life,a tragedy.

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

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

This company gives a different entertainment both afternoon and evening. Thursday afternoon and even ing, July 22, Te Old Folks Concert Co. will entertain with two different programs. On Friday afternoon, July 23, Geo. H. Bradford will deliver a lecture, proceeded by the famous impersonator, Charles R. Taggart Friday evening will be given over entirely to Mr. Taggart. Several in our vicinity have either heard Mr. Taggart or have heard directly concerning his entertainment. We know that his originality will be immensely enjoyed. We mention again the low price for the six entertainments. Adult season tickets, $1.00. Adult single admission tickets, 35 cents. Childrens season tickets under 14 years of age, 35c.

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

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

PIRATES IN CHINESE WATERS Freebooters Extend Their Operations to Land Expeditions, and Frequently Loot Villages, A favorite form of freebootlng In Chinese waters takes the form of river piracies.

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

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

"From what he said, I've formed my own conclusions," was her answer: "And what is your opinion?" "Well, I feel certain that there is, or was, something concealed In this house that he's very anxious to obtain He came to demand it of Mr. Leithcourt, but what happened in the library' we don't know. He, however, believes that Mr. Leithcourt has not taken it away, and that, whatever It may be. it Is still hidden here." CHAPTER IX—Continued. "Tea, sir. He called here in a fly on the day he came out, and at bis request I took him over the castle. He went into the library and spent half an hour in pacing across It, taking measurements and examining the big cupboard In which he was found insensible. It was a strange affair, sir," added the young woman, "wasnt ltf" "Very," I replied. T h e gentleman might have been In there now had I not gone into the library and found a lot of illustrated papers, which I always put in the cupboard to keep the place tidy, thrown out on to the floor. I went to put them back, but discovered the door locked. The key I afterwards found in the grate, where Mr. Leithcourt had evidently thrown it, and on opening the door imagine the shock I had when I found the visitor lying doubled up. I, of course, thought he was dead." "And when he returned here on his recovery, did he question you?" "Oh, yea. He asked about the Lelthcourts, and especially about Miss Muriel. I believe he's rather sweet on her, by the way he spoke. And really no better or kinder lady ever breathed, I'm sure. We're all very sorry indeed for her." "He came Into this room, I suppose?" 'Tea, sir," she responded, with Just a slight hesitation, I thought "This was the room where he stayed the longest There was a photograph in that frame over there," she added, indicating the frame that had held the picture of Elma Heath, "a portrait of a young lady, which he begged me to give him." "And you gave it to him?" I cried qnlckly. "Well—yet, sir. He begged so hard for i t saying that it was the portrait of a friend of hie." "And he gave you something handsome for it—ehr The young woman, whom 1 knew could not refuse half-aeovereign, colored slightly and smiled. "Be didn't ten yon who the young lady wee, I suppose?" "No, air. He only amid that that was the) only pnotograph that existed, and that she was deed." the man shook his head and handed hack the document curtly, saying in Russian, which X understood fairly well, although J spoke badly: "This Is not in order. It must be returned- to London and dated before you can proceed. But it is not my fault" I protested. "It is the fault of the clerk at the consulate general "You should have examined It before leaving. Tou must send it to London, and return to Stockholm by tonight's boat" "But this is outrageous!" I cried, as he had already taken the papers of a passenger behind me and was looking at them with unconcern. "Enough!" he exclaimed, glaring at me, "You will return tonight, or if you choose to,stay you will be arrested for landing without a passport" "I shall not go back!" I declared defiantly. "Your consul general vised my passport and I claim, under international law, to be allowed to proceed without hindrance." "The steamer leaves at six o'clock," he remarked without looking up. "If you are in Abo after that remember it will be at your own risk." "Yes," I said menacingly, "I shall recollect if* And I turned and went out of the little wooden office. 8ix o'clock came. I heard the steam siren of the departing boat bound for Sweden, but I was determined to remain there at whatever cost therefore I returned to the hotel, and at seven dined comfortably in company with a German who had been my fellow-passenger across from Stockholm. At eight o'clock, however, Just as we were idling over dessert two graycoated police officers entered and arrested me on the serious charge of landing without a passport I accompanied them to the police office, where I was ushered into the presence of the big, bristly Russian I Show My Hand. who held the town of Abo in terror, On my return to London next day 11 the chief of police.

That sweet-pictured face haunted mo as no other fade had ever Impressed itself upon my memory. It somehow seemed to Impel me to endeavor to penetrate the sayatery. and yet Hylton Chater had dvoared that dead! I nooHsctel the letter from Abo, and her own declaration thai her esM was near. That letter waa, dhe wftte to bar " A ~ - f t hal Fit fas imeUmsjih in ***- r ~ — A - ' trTTipjisj s j i i i i JL.11 in this rooa*" the dowas lying at Palermo, therefore I telegraphed to Jack Durnford. and late the same afternoon bis reply came at the Cecil: atD dueu bin t Lhoant deovne ntwinegn tiJetahc.k . Dine with me The twentieth! That meant nearly a month of inactivity. In that time I could cross to Abo, make inquiries there, and ascertain, perhaps, If Elma Heath were actually dead as Chater had declared. Two facts struck me as remarkable: Baron Oberg was said to be Polish, while the dark-bearded proprietor of the restaurant in Westboume Grove was also of the same nationality. Then I recollected that pretty little enameled cross that Mackenzie had found in Rannoch Wood, and It suddenly occurred to me that it might possibly be the miniature of one of the European orders of chivalry. In the club library at midnight I found a copy of Cappellctti's Storla degli Ordinl Cavallereschi, the standard work on the subject and on searching the illustrations I at length discovered a picture of i t It was a Russian order— the coveted Order of Saint Anne, bestowed by the caar only upon persons who have rendered eminent services to the state and to the sovereign, One fact was now certain* namely, that the owner of that tiny cross, the small replica of the fine decoration, must be a person of high official standing. The autumn days were dull and rainy, and the streets were muddy and unpleasant as they always are at the fall of the year. Compelled to remain inactive. I idled in the dub with the recollection of that pictured face ever before me—the face of the unfortunate girl who wished her last message to be conveyed to Philip Hornby. What, I wondered, was her secret? What was really her fate? This latter question troubled me until I could hear ft s o longer. I feit that it was my duty to go to Finland and endeavor to learn •"tntMitng regarding this Baron Oberg and his niece. Duty—the duty of a man who had learned strange facts and knew that a defenseless women was a called me. Therefore, with a y port property vised anil my papers all in order, i one night left Hull for Stockholm, whence on the following day I took the small steamer which plies across the Gulf of Bothnia to Korpo, aad tnraugh the intricate channels aad among those low-lying bound bureaucracy, and this human machine in uniform was no exception.

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

I Ammencement Exercises 3^The rapid flight of time brings ooce again the season of flowers and sunshine. Just about this time, too, there is another kind of flower which blooms throughout the land, a flower which arouses all the latent enthusiasm of the people. It is the day of graduation when young men and young women in every city, village and hamlet are launched upon life's ocean. The class of six which were graduated from the Pinckney high school were hondred by perhaps the largest gathering of interested friends which the opera house has held in some years, apon the occasion of their commencement exercises last Thursday evening. The stage was tastefully decorated under the direction of Mrs. J.P. Doyle assisted by the Seniors. The decorations consisted of red, white and blue bunting draped in each a way as to make the large stage1 assume less severe proportions. The front of the stage was banked with ferns and roses. A library table on which stood a bouquet of the class flowers, American Roses, was placed in the center of the stage platform. About this were arranged rooking chairs in which the members of the class could be comfortably seated, instead of in the straight chairs which are usually used on SQch occasions. The program was a very iuterestiog one. The musical part con* eiating of an excellently played piano solo by Miss Sadie Harris and three pleasing vocal soloes by Mrs. H. D. Brown, Miss Florence Kice and Miss Helen S. Dunne. Claude H. Kennedy delivered the salutatory in a masterly manner. Two orations, "Our Horizon" by Madge H. Cook and 'The Merits of Peace" by Alger J. Hall were well received by the large audience. Daane Lavey in the Class Prophecy exposed the f nture of his class-mates in a style which caused mnoh merriment. Madeleine Moran delivered the Valedictory, the highest honor which can be given to a graduate, in a fitting manner. The exercises" were closed, after the presentation of diplomas by Snpt J. P. Doyle, with a few appropriate remarks by Rev. Fr. Coyle. The class of 1915 has entered "Life" and may each member be in later years, found "Rowing, Not Drifting" in accordance with their class motto, which was emblazoned in shining letters across the front of the stage wheron their ^graduation exercises took place.

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

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

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

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

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

The growth of the crop during-the past week was very satisfactory. Rain (ell In many places during the early part of the week, followed by warmer weather, which has been most beneficial to the grain. Breaking and summer- fallowing were well under way, and conditions generally were most promising. The following reports have been received by the department from the various centers: Denholm—A little rain needed in the northern part to start late grain; remainder of district plenty of moisture. Davidson—Ideal growing weather; a few farmers harrowing grain to conserve moisture by breaking crust formed since last rain. North Battleford to Prince Albert- Good growing weather; crops looking well. Slight damage near North Battleford from cutworms; recent rains oeneflcial. Kindersley—Crops looking fine and prospects good; plenty of moisture, with prospects of more rain. Every slough in this country is full. Prince Albert—Crops in fair condition, though cutworms and light frosts have done damage In some sections. Have had moderate quantity of rain. Owing to prompt marketing of the harvest of 1914, the farmers were enabled to devote more time than usual to cultivation in the autumn, under conditions which were decidedly favorable, and that, combined with the opportunities for soil preparation presented by an early spring this year, has resulted in the seeding of a wheat area estimated at twenty-five per cent greater than last year. Areas sown to oats and flax may be less than last year, because of the concentration upon the cereal in greater demand for export. Wheat seeding was completed eight days earlier than the average, under almost ideal conditions. Alberta. "Prospects excellent. Abundant moisture throughout the province, following rain. Area thirty to thirty-nve per cent greater. Crop generally two weeks earlier." Attention is drawn to the fact that the land has not been in such fine condition to work for years; neither has t there been as much moisture as there was last autumn. This was protected during the winter by a little more than the average snowfall, which remained on the land, not being removed by the warm chinook winds, as is usually the case. There never has been a more optimistic feeling than exists today, judging by the information received from various parts of-the province. We feel justified in saying that the crop never went in under more favorable circumstances; weather splendid and land particularly well worked.

Japanese Irjer^ THE IRIS EASY TO GROW By C. BE8TCHER. Of all plants the most indifferent to all conditions and environments, soils and care, none yields the product that the Iris does, and with high culture it is Just that much more satisfactory for the added attention. In all garden operations one should observe natural conditions of growth, as this with added good care will lead to success. The Germanic type of Iris is, in many ways, an especially desirable plant It is most desirable as a garden flower or for cutting, as they keep especially well in the hot sun. Many people say "Oh, nags, they are so common." However, when they see a collection in good colors they very soon decide differently. Many growers go to far more trouble than is necessary in making preparations for planting many subjects. For all plants we recommend giving the soil a coat of manure in the fall, the fresher the better. Apply it at once several Inches thick—if the soU is very poor, if good give only an inch thickness. When this thaws out rake it so that the fine particles sre taken out Do this several times between now and spring time, so the elements are well incorporated with the soil. 8pade when the ground Is in good shape—if possible, do so before freezing is over, for when spaded so the frost will penetrate It deeply, pulverising it so it is soft and pliable, the plants will do much better. For German Iris, plant the roots deeply; but the bulb should be COTTOUT ferns to be at their best next winter, should be repotted late in the summer. About two inches increase in the diameter of the pot is required. A compost can be secured from the florist or made at home. A good garden aofl mixed with barnyard or commercial fertiliser is all that is needed. Too little of the fertiliser is better than too much, which wffl burn the roota. Broken bits of crockery must be placed oyer the hole in the bottom of the pot. Three inches of flirt la them placed over this and leveled ready for the plant In removing the plant from the oftdhe taken chaf the To avoid this, atitte the sides of the pot lightly bat tnaly with a UoweL A sharp blow em the oawa should cause the son and noot to i s placed at on— hi the new pot and ered very lightly unless planting late in the fall or very early in the spring, when they should be planted about two inches below the soil level. At other times Just barely cover them. When hoeing in the summer it is well not to draw much soil to them, as it is liable to rot them at certain times when they are more subject to this decay than others, when deeply covered with soil; and doubly so after they become larger. All the culture they need is to have the soil kept free from weeds and hoed very lightly or raked just so the crust is broken and kept loose- About November 1, before freesing begins, give them a good hoeing and a light dressing of manure after the hoeing. Plant or divide at any time. The Japan Iris requires much different treatment, while very easily handled when their requirements are understood, yet they are somewhat fickle. The best results are obtained when the soil is very rich, well watered and kept hoed at an times. Never allow weeds to attain any start in their beds as they cannot resist the encroachments of stronggrowing weeds. Plant them deeply so that the crowns are fully three inches below the soil level. Plant very early in the spring, just when the growth is showing or late in October. Water well after doing i t They may be planted at almost any time if the soil is allowed to adhere to the roots and kept well dampened for at least two weeks. In fact, they should never be allowed to become dry. Give them deep hoeing and good mulching of manure during August or September, and hoe it into the sofl thoroughly. Ferns should be planted in early spring or early autumn when not in growth but ma7 be planted in summer 1 if properly pruned "Encaged the rooms for my holiday," he aaM, "because the landlady wrote me that they overlooked a superb garden of 400 acres, richly adorned with where 1 was at Uberty to "Well?"

For two y e a r s I could not stand on my f e e t long at a time and I could not walk two blocks without enduring cutting and drawing pains down my right side which i n c r e a s e d every month, I have been at that time purple in the face and would walk the floor. I could not lie down or sit still sometimes for a day and a night at a time. I was nervous, and had very little appetite, no ambition, melancholy, and often felt as though I had not a friend in the world. After I had tried most every female remedy without success, my mother-in-law advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I did so and gained in strength every day. I have now no trouble in any way and highly praise your medicine. It advertises itself.' '—Mrs. S. T. HURLEY, Eldon, Missouri Remember, the remedy which did this was Lydia E.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Wednesday, June 23, 1915 No. 26 c*Vj '..*-."* Bfcv '•»* mmm- ^ K $ ^ ; ! «» '- X • _ ' : * • • . . . +'•?•• ^ * " * J * Rfe. • > . • K# 5V * .1" : <?: Summer Chautauqua It will be bat a short time aow More July will be with us and let each and every one remember that on July 21, 22 and 28, the Pinokney Bay View Reading CirV cie have arranged for a summer Chautauqua. While towne around us have been patting on a summer •course year after year in addition to the established annual winter courses, this is Pinckney** maiden effort in the Chautauqua field. The entertainments have been planned with the beet interests ot the town at heart, the proceeds therefrom to be donated toward a public library, so let every person buy a season ticket, because in the end, not only will one hay* the pleasure of attending the concerts, jbut the nucleus of a public library will result. A short synopsis of each days entertainment follows. A careful perusal of same will make everyone feel that it is something they „ cannot afford to miss. On Wednesday, July 21 will occur the concert of the Tsoharkowsky Quartet, which is a remarkable group of artists, w h o have heard, studied and. played the greatest music under the most able of the world's conductors. Thursday, July 22, there will come to us, Ye Old Folk's Choir Concert Com. petty. They have attained the highest art of proficiency in their profession. Rarely will anyone have the chance of listening to a concer^whiehwitt prove any move pleasing. The last day, Friday, July 23, Charlea. R. Taggart, entertainer, in connection with Chancellor Bradford, lecturer, will follow up in splendid * style the work of the other two concert oompanys. Charles Taggart will change your sadness to smiles and your worries into wonderment by mimicry. The same day you can hear one of the greatest lecturers on the lecture platform today. The words of Chancellor H. Bradford will long be remembered as those of an earnest speaker and a deep thinker on the problems which are confronting our nation today. From the foregoing, readers will see that although nothing concerning the summer Chautauqua has been spoken of in several weeks, that it is no myth, but will be hare in full force on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 21, 22 and 28. Tickets are now on sale and may be obtained at Meyer's drug store for $1.00 for the course of six entertainments, the sasjss eomnany giving a different estestakment both afternoon mod evening. Chubb-Swarthout Pinckney may be an awful small town and well able to keep tab on all her inhabitants but when it comes to carrying out things in secret, perhaps few citizens have ever more skillfully performed that stunt than did Fred Swarthout last Saturday. Fred works in the Pinckney Exchange Bank and went up town as usual last Saturday morning in preparation for the day's business. Later on he sneaked down to the Potterton house, which he has rented for some time past in anticipation of Mrs. Swarthout elect, donned his gala attire and boldly jumped into a waiting auto which whisked him out of town at break neck speed to meet the waiting bride, Miss Lila Chubb, from near Howell The couple completed their romance at the home of the bride's uncle in Ohio. Ail this happened in Pinckney in broad day light with the town marshal's residence right next door to the future home of the bride and groom. No wedding could possibly occur without decorations, so kind friends very prettily-decorated both porch and interior of their home to be, in the most excellent manner possible. The groom is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Swarthout of this place and the bride is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Chubb of near Howell. Both young people are well known and very popular. Their many friends join with the Dispatch in offering congratulations.

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

The game has been played by the hardy Scots since the earliest times and is still one of the feature events on the programs of ail athletio contests. The caber is a long section of tree trunk, tapered so that it is noticeably smaller at one end than at the other. The man who essays to test his strength by tossing It raises the pole to a vertical position in his hands, smaller end down, and then throws it into the air and away from him. He must make the large end of the pole hit the ground and the pole hit such a way that the amall end will desorlbe a half circle. The prise goes to the man whoae caber, having been thrown in the manner described, lands on the ground with its smaller and farthest away from the throwing point i f * m wmwfl Savage Club's Founder.

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

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

Is Really the Most Important Thing to Which Mothers Can QJvs Attexv tion—Cleanliness the One . Absolute Consideration) When the baby is,for any reason do prived of his natural food, that la, his mother's milk, it is necessary to find as good a substitute as possible. At beat such a food win be only a substitute, not an equivalent This substitute food should he the best and clean* eat cows' milk that can he had. Cleanliness is the watchword of proper milk production. The cows themselves should be clean and healthy; the udders and teats should be washed before the milking is begun; the bands of the milker should be freshly washed and he should wear j a clean cotton coat; the pail should be ' partly covered and previously scalded j with boiling water, and the milking | shed or stable should be clean. The < milk should be strained at once and' cooled as quickly as possible to 50 de-, greea and kept cold until used. j Even~~clean milk may be spoiled: after it comes into the house if it is j not kept clean, cold and covered. Milk j which stands uncovered, exposed to ; flies and dust, or is left in a warm room for any length of time, or is put \ away in open vessels will be unfit for j the baby. It should be kept in oov ered bottles, cans or jars. Use any convenient receptacle, such \ as a wooden box, a lard or candy pail,; or a garbage pail, for the outside. Put! a layer of sawdust an inch deep in the ! bottom. In the middle place a covered ; eight or ten-quart pall, or a section of \ ten-inch pipe. Fill the space between the two with sawdust, packing it carefully Into all the corners. The outer \ receptacle should have a cover. If a | box is used this cover may be a j hinged one and may have a thick layer j of newspapers or a straw cushion tacked to the inside to make it fit I tight The inner pail is intended to ( hold the ice and the milk bottles. j It has been found that if, instead of putting the Ice in loose, it is broken up and put into a small covered pail, which is never uncovered, It will last longer. Set this little pail in the inner receptacle, pack the cooled and corked milk bottles around it and close the cover. This little device will keep the baby's milk sweet tor 14 hours, it properly made. Great care mnst be taken to keep the baby's milk clean in making up the baby's feedings. The mother's hands and clothing must be clean before she begins. The utensils needed should be kept for this use alone and should be freshly boiled before being used. All the food needed for 24 hours should be made ready at one time. It is convenient to have enough nursing bottles for the whole day and fill them all when the food is prepared in' the morning. Each bottle should be closed with a new clean cork which has been boiled. The bottles should be cooled and put away in the refrigerator or a cool place at once. When a bottle is needed take It out of the refrigerator and Bet it in a small pail of warm water. Put the pail over the fire and let the water heat To test the temperature of the milk the mother may sprinkle a few drops on the Inner surface of the arm. When it feels slightly warm, not hot; ft will be right for the' baby. It is impossible in a short article like this to give all the necessary directions for preparing the bottles, or I how to determine the amount of milk ! a baby of a given age requires, and j how to modify it, hut these questions j are answered in a bulletin of the chil-j dren'a bureau /called "Infant Care."

German sailors on steamships which are held up in New York are said to have, several of them, gone mad. Idleness and homesickness are the causes, hospital authorities say. Homesickness finds strange, victims. Army surgeons know that sometimes it kills. Often it is the man without a regular home who is most subject to nostalgia. This disturbance of soul, mind and body settles down upon the phlegmatic, the burly, the thickskinned. It takes them under sunny skies amid the earth's best loveliness and they moan for dirty streets where they played in childhood. Idleness breeds homesickness and active diversion cures it It Is akin to melancholia and comes In mysterious ways. Probably it arises from the biological impulse Intended to anchor man In one pJace long enough for him to take root. Its opposing Instinct Is the wanderlust Explorers have confessed that the worst homesickness they have known was In the first few hours and days of their return. In familiar surroundings the marks of time's Inexorable progress were painfully apparent. Changes, small and large, tortured them by reminder of the precious past.

Some of the Orientals are fine cooks, after they get over a few of the peculiar ideas they have imbibed from their own country's oddities in the culinary line. "Not long ago we got s new Chinaman as cook. A couple of days later one of the fellows got a pedigreed Irish terrier pup given ^o him—a real dog. My friend had to go up to one of the mines that afternoon, and he turned the puppy over to the new Chinaman. 'You be mighty careful of this dog,' he said to the cook. 'Me be heap careful,' was the answer. "That night at dinner, the new Chinaman brought on, with great ceremony, a covered dish. ."

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

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

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

One morning outside Elgin a blackbird was observed te be standing by the roadside, paying no heed to the footsteps of the passerby.

Just then a warning cry was heard from behind, uttered presumably by the parent weasel, and the young ones disappeared in the hedge.

Do not neglecV th4 winter garden, even though thV plants are at their /ttest Turn the plants once a week; Stir the surface soil; wash the pota With" strong soapsuds; give plenty of fresh air daily; shower the plants -once a week; watch for pests; see that the warm sunshtne does not •corch your plants on warm afternoons. Plants that are Intended for bedding should be shifted as they fill their pots with roots, and give plenty of sunshine and air. Otherwise they will be leggy and weak. If you wish to get specimen carinas and dahlias, start a few in the house early. Remove roots, stalks, and unnecessary fiber and cut into single eyes. Then pot In four-inch pots In rich soil; shift when the pots fill with roots. The canna, like corn, needs moisture and heat to develop properly. Let the hedge take the place of the tenet where possible about the house grounds. If the fence is imperative, let it be hidden by a drapery of vines, Honeysuckle is the best permanent Tine. California privet leads the hedge plants in popularity; then comes barberry, Japanese Quince, althea, buckthorn and some varieties of roses. For utility the osage. A flower friend says she rid her lemon tree of scale by applying a strong lather of soap suds with a stiff brush to both sides of the leaves, stems and trunks. This was allowed to remain for half a day and then washed off with clear water. The scale was then easy to brush off. if you got * gloxinia bulb this spring, when it blooms save the seeds, and next spring experiment growing these gorgeous bloomers. ' Fill a well* drained, shallow pot or box with fine, light soil; even It carefully and scattar the seeds on it Press the seeds into the soli with a flat block of wood Put a pane of glass on the pot and water from the bottom. They will bloom the first year, hot the second year will greatly improve them.

Dig deeply and thoroughly if early crops of flowers or vegetables are wanted. No matter what the texture of the soil, light or heavy, it is always improved by spading deeply. When planting trees in clay or other heavy soils not well drained, follow this method: Dig holes 3 feet wide and 20 inches deep; place in them 8 or 10 inches of drainage, rocks, bricks or cinders well packed. Upon this put 3 or 4 Inches of sod, grass side down, then plant the tree as usual Early In April is the time to trim the early roses; that is, if the winter's cold has not cut down the stalks so that further pruning is necessary. Cut out all the dead wood and weak shoots. Keep the center of the plant open. Leave four to six eyes on each shoot The generation of seed requires three essentials; heat moisture and air. Therefore it is folly to put seeds into the ground until It has been1 warmed by th*e sun. Corn planting time is about the proper time for the majority of seeds. If you want to get some satisfaction out of the cosmos, sow it in March and push it along as fast as you can. It does not transplant easily, therefore grow it In pots. Shift it along until it is growing in a nine-inch pot.Then sink the pot in the order and from the time the plants are six inches high until the end of July the shoots should be pinched out This will keep the plants low and stocky. Long after severe frosts your cosmos will be giving you beautiful flowers for the window. r*0O**m CURLEW BUG" IS A WIDESPREAD PEST "Curlew Bug."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The French papers have been busy of late with the case of the Membusque," which is the name given to the man who chooses a safe Job in the army. An incident seen last night on the fringe of Soho suggests that It is also applied to those who do not choose the army at all A couple of French soldiers over here on leave (they were in joyous mood), coming down a side street, passed the kitchens of a well-known French restaurant They were attracted by the sight of the cooks in the kitchens and studied them attentively through the grating. Then they began to taunt them with shouts of "Embusque!" The harmless necessary French cooks below, startled In this rough way in their "ambush," were furious. There was sn angry clattering of pots and pans and an elaborate slanging match between the cooks and the soldiers. The language was rich and varied, and In the storm the sharp word "embusque" sounded like a bitter refrain. —Manchester Guardian. Some Wind.

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

Often be/- lore 2 sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa Bonner, 825 N. 18th St., Binning-^ ham, Ala., says: "I have been suffering with nervous prostration for nine or ten year*. Have tried many of the best doctors in Birmingham, but they all fatted to reach my case. I would feel as if T was smotfienng; finallf; I went into convulsions. My little girl saw Dr. Miles' Nerrine advertised in the papers and I at once began to take It. I continued to take it for some time and now I am well." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition aael unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Taia country is suffering mora from tainted politics than iron any other malady at the pretest time.

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