Ratz of Detroit were united in marriage by Rev. D C. Littlejolbnof Saline. Owing to the recent bereavement only the immediate relatives and friends of the family were present. The ceremony was performed at the table after which1 the guests were seated and served to a three course dinner. s Mr. and Mrs. Ratz left for a short trip and will be at home after February fifteenth, at 185 Clifford St. Detroit. The Dispatch joins with their many friends in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Ratz many happy days of wedded life. i Opportunity of 15 Y e a r s - Did you ever fail to seize an opportunity? To do so is but human. But why! Simply because you failed at that time to see it as an opportunity. Thus reason for so many, "wish I bad's and kindred pointers to past mistakes. How do you reason matters later? Does the average man say, "I missedan opportunity once so I will never try for another?" No! He profits by experience and says next time," I will nail fast'to this opportunity now, while I have the chance." Take for example during the ,pAftt,iew years, it is safe to say that" nine out, of ag^ry tQn m^n OBITUARY have more than once wished for a Livingston County Atlas. And would have gladly paid well for one, when, farm lands, roads and local features were in question. None were for sale, and few to borrow; to get one was an opportunity ot the past. Fifteen years after the appearance of the atlas comes the announcement of a new map. One far more accurate, more substantial, handier, complete with an index and directory, at less than one fiftkthe cost,guaranteed, sold and delivered to you by well known local men. What are you going to do? Will you make some excuse and tide along for close onto another scoreof years, wanting and waiting for another opportunity for the sake of $2.85- Consider carefully; act now, and see to it that the map represenative who gets the corrections on your farm does not get away without your order. Don't again "snap your fingers in the face of real opportunity." Don't wait but see. that you give your order for the map now. 3E S e p t . a©. 1839—Jan. 2 7 , 1911 Once more we are called upon to chronacle the death of one of Putnam's native born sons,/the' subject of this sketch, Robert.

The autumn and winter ara the seasons when many boys hunt or shoot a great deal, says the Omaha Bee. This should be the time, then, for the reiteration of that old warning about the "I-dida't-know-it-was-loaded" accident Hoys should be careful with their shooting irons, and never fail to know whether they are loaded or not. Two boys were out shooting a few days ago and one, thinking his gun was empty, aimed it at the other and pulled the trigger.~The other dropped dead. "I didn't know It was loaded," wailed the one who killed him, echoing the wail of scores of others who had at sometime been as criminally negligent as himself. No boy or man has a right to aim a firearm at another person, and when he does it, whether barin comes of it or not, he should be made to feel that he has done something he should not. Parents can well afford to deny guns and pistols to their boys until they have reached such ages as will make them capable of realizing their dangers. I! they must have guns, they should be cautioned against carelesB use of them. It/ sometimes seems trite to speak of warning boys against such things, but If they were warned often enough such distressing accidents would be fewer, LINE P F i FIGHT V / E T S F O B C E T H E .

Michigan's fourth annual county local option campaign, and what advocates say will be the most bitterly fought in the history of the movement in this state will start Feb. a, when dry leaders will man CO Detroit pulpitis in animal appeal tbr funds. Election day—First Monday in April. In wet county of Montmorency apJ peal has been made to supreme court from decision of circuit judge ordering submission of local option to vote at spring election. Drys will got decision on issue in t'me for vote. Drys have blocked resubmission ef; forts of wets this spring in following dry counties: Kalkaska, Charlevoix, Alcona, Gratiot—4. Large cities involved in vote this spring are: Jackson, population, ?">,- 000; Flint, population, :18,000: Battle Creek, population, 2o,2C7; Kalamazoo, population, 45,000. Jackson, Flint and Battle Creek are In t!ry counties-atpresent. Kalamazoo is-a license town where, it is claimed, the saloon element is strong and excise regulation has been lax. Cost of campaign this year will be not far from a million of dollars. Drys claim they will make the wets alone spend this amount. The cost of the campaign last year when wets carried ill and the drys 20 Michigan counties?- was approximately a half million! dollars, the wets winning back the e*4ies of Cadillac and Pontiac. after., a strenuous campaign in which expensive spellbinders like former Gov. Peck and ex-Mayor Rose, oj^AVigconsin. and former United States Senator Towne, of Minnesota, were here in the wet interest.

Mention has been made of the fact that there are now in the United States 50 cities with a population of 100,000 or more, a notable gain in ten years/ as there were but 38 such cities in 1900. Now the census bureau, having compiled the returns, announces that, there are in this country 19 cities with a population reaching or exceeding 250,000. In 1900 there were -15 towns included in that class. From this it- appears that, while there has been . marked gain in many cities, largo* and small, the proportion has been greatest among municipalities of moderate size. Also they do some things better In Germany. A reckless chauffeur who killed an American woman when he ran Into a crowd of theatergoers has been sent to the* penitentiary for 15 months.

IffkMr I cattck it the better I" Caught 1» the swirl of the busy city's mMday rush, engulfed Jn Broadway's swift moving flood of hustling --hnmanlty-r Jostled unceremoniously by the careless, Indifferent crowds, discouraged from stemming further the tide of pushing, elbowing men and women who hurried up and down the great thoroughfare. Howard Jeffries, tired and hungry and thoroughly disgusted with himself, stood still at the corner of Pulton street, cursing the luck which had brought him to his present plight. l r w a s the noon hour, the important time of day when nature loudly claims her due, when business affairs, no matter how pressing, must be temporarily interrupted so that the human machine may lay hua--fresh, store of nervous energy. From uader the portals of precipitous office buildings, mammoth hires of human Industries, which to right and toft soared dizsily .from street to sky, swarmed thousands of employes of both sexes— clerks, stenographers, shop girls, messenger boys—all moved by a common impulse to satisfy without further delay the animal cravings of their physical natures. They strode along with quick, nervous step, each chatting and laughing with his fellow, interested for the nonce in the day's work, ma- ,Jkttt.g; plans for well-earned recreation when five o'clock should come and the uptoWn stampede for Harlem and liome begin. The young man sullenly watched jthe scene, envious of the energy and activity of all about him. -Each uiiu \ \ - : > • * • In these hurrying throngs, he thought bitterly to himself, was a valuable unit in the prosperity and welfare of the b!g town. No matter how humble his or - her position, each played a part In the business life of the great city, each was an unseen, unknown, yet indispensable cog in the whirling, complicated mechanism of the vast World metropolis. Intuitively he felt that he was not one of them, that he had no right even to consider himself their equal. He was utterly" useless to anybody. He was without position or money. He was destitute even of a shred of self-re3pect. Hadn't he promised Annie not to touch .liquor again before he found a job? Yet he , had already imbibed Itll tfce~~"whisky which the little money left.in his pocket would buy. Involuntarily, instinctively, he shrank back into the shadow of a doorway to let the crowds pass. The pavements were now filled to oversowing and each moment newcomers titans' the side streets came to swell list human stream. He tried to avoid ifceetwation, fearing that some one Bright recognize him, thinking all could read on his face that he was a sot, a self-confessed failure, oae of life's incompetents. In his painful •elf-consciousneas he believed himself the cynosure of every eye and he winoed as he thought he detected on certain faces side glances of curiosity, commiseration and contempt. Nor was he altogether mistaken. More thin one passer-by turned to look in his direction, attracted by his peculiar appearance. His was a type not seen every day ln*the com- •srcial district—the post-graduate collage man out at elbows. He was smooth-faced and apparently about 26 years of age. His complexion was fair and his face refined. It would have been handsome but for a droopfnjk, irresolute mouth, which denoted ' iMemtban average weakness of charejsjtf, T%» faoe was thin, chalk-like tavlp Jtck of color and deeply seamed v««fh the tell-tale lines of dissipation. ,rk circles under, his eyes and a uliar watery -took suggested late and ovarfondness for alcoholic freshmeat.

It was all a matter of heredity and influence. One's vices as well as one's virtues are handed down to us ready made. He had no doubt that in the Jeffries family somewhere in the unsavory past there had been a weak, vicious ancestor from whom he had inherited all the traits which barred his way to success. The crowds of hungry workers grew bigger every minute. Every one was elbowing his way into neighboring restaurants, crowding the tables and buffets, all eating voraciously aa they talked and laughed, Howard was rudely reminded by inward pangslhat he, too, was famished. Not -a' thing bad passed his lips since he had left home in Harlem at eight o'clock that morning and he had told Annie that he would be home for lunch. There was no use staying downtown any longer. For three weary hours he had trudged from office to office seeking employment, answering advertisements, asking for work of any kind, ready Jo do no matter what, but all to no purpose. Nobody wanted him at any price. What was the good of a man being willing to work tf there waa no one to employ him? A nice look-out certainly. Hardly a dollar left and no prospect of getting any more. He hardly had the courage to return home and face Annie. With a muttered exclamation of impatience he spat from his mouth the half-consumed cigarette, which was hanging from his Up, and crossing Broadway, walked listlessly in ths direction of Park place. He had certainly made a mess of things, yet at ode time, not ao, long ago, what a brilliant future life seemed to have in store for him! No boy had ever been given a .better start. He remembered the day he left home to go to Tale; he recalled his father's kind words of encouragement, his mother's tears. Ah, If his mother had only lived! Then, maybe, everything would have been different. But she died during his freshman year, carried off suddenly .by heart failure. His father married again, a young woman 20 years his Junior, and that had started everything off wrong. The old home life had gone forever. He had felt like an intruder the first time he went home and from that day his father'a roof had been distasteful to him. Yes, that was the beginning of'his hard luck. He could trace all his misfortunes back to that. He couldn't stand for stepmother, a haughty, selfflsh, supercilious, ambitious creature who had little sympathy for her predecersor's child, and no scruple in showing it.... Then, at college, he had met Robert Underwood, the popular upper classman, who had professed to take a [great fancy to him. He, a timid young freshman, was naturally nattered by the friendship of, the dashing, faecinat- ] the' decree and he had sever seen his ing sophomore and thus commenced j/father atnee. face, was standing at the news stand under the Park place elevated station. Quickly Howard extended his hand. "Hello, Coxe!" he exclaimed. "What on earth arejyou doing in Now York? Whoever wbuld have expected to meet you in'this howling wilderness? How's everything at Yale?" The athlete grinned. "Yale be hanged! I don't care a d—. You know I graduated last June. I'm invbu8inoss noW—in a broker's office in >Vall street. Say, it's great! We had^a semi-panic last week.

It's got college beaten to a fraczle!" Quickly he added: "VVha^t 'are you doing?" Howard averted his eyes and hung his head. "Nothing," he answered gloomily. COM had Quickly taken not e of his former classmate's shabby appearance. He had also heard of his escapades. "Didn't you hear?" muttered Howard. "Row with governor, raantif •* and all that sort of thing? Of course," he went on. "father's dan*hably unjust, actuated by absurd prejudice. Annie's a good girl and a good wife, no matter what her father was. D—n it, this is a free country! A man can mnrry. whom he likes.

Tljejove of books he considered a pose and he scoffed at the men who took their reading seriously. The university attracted him mostly by its most undesirable features," its sports, its secret societies, its petty oWques, and its rowdyism. The broad spirit and the dignity of the alma mater he ignored completely. Directly he went to Yale he started in to enjoy himself and with the sophisticated Undarwood as guide, went to the devil faster than any man before him in the entire history of the university. Reading, attendance at lectures, became only a convenient cloak to conceal his turpitudes. Poker playing, automobile joy rides, hard drinking became the daily curriculum. In town rows and orgies of every description he was soon a recognized leader. Scandal followed scandal until he was threatened with expulsion. Then his father heard of it and there was a terrible scene. Jeffries, Sr., went immediately to New Haven and there followed a stormy Interview in which Howard promised to reform, but once the parent's back was turned things went on pretty mu^h as before. There were fresh scandals, the smoke of which reached as far aa New Tork. This time Mr. Jeffries tried the plan of cutting down the money supply and Howard; found himself financially em-, barrassed. But this had not quite the effect desired by the father, for, rendered desperate by hie inability to secure funds with which to carry pn iiis sprees, the young man started in to gamble heavily, giving notes for his losses and pocketing the ready money when he won. Then came the supreme scandal which turned his father'a heajt to steel. Jeffries, Sr., could forgive much in a young man. -He had been young himself once. None knew better than he how difficult it is when the blood is rich and red to keep oneself in control. But there was one offence which-a-man proud of his descent could not condone. He would never forgive the staining of the family name by a degrading marriage. The news came to the unhappy father like a thunder-clap. Howard, probably in a drunken spree, had married secret a waitress employed in one of^the "sporty" restaurants In New Haven, and to make the mesalliance/worse, the girl was not even of respectable parents. Her-* father, BiUy Delmore, the poolroom king, war a notorious gambler and had djtfd in convict sTrtpes. Fine lenwrflon that for the yellow press. "Banker's Son Weds Convict's Daughter." So ran the "scare headjr in the newspapers. That was Che last straw for Mr. Jeffries, S r . / H e sternly told his son that aga^jT. Howard bowed his head to reviewhlsvefrteudly ing la his mind flections were hail. • •'..J^UWfa-ft "Hello, Jeffries/ oTf WM Boat I m know a follow fre#s*ssa.you tot M B T . fit leaked «9.

We've managed t o ' ^ i up a small flat in Harlem and now, like Micawber, I'm waiting for something to turn up." Coxe nodded sympathetically. "Come and have a drink," lie said cheerily. Howard hesitated. Once more he remembered his promise to Annie, but as long as he had broken it once he would get no crodit for refusing now. He wa3 horribly thirsty - and depressed, Another drink would chetr him up. It seemed even wicked to decline when it wouldn't cost him anything. They entered a bar conveniently close at hand, and with a tremulous hand Howard carried greedily to his lips the insidious liquor which had undermined his health and stolen away his manhood. "Have another?" said Coxe with a smile as he saw the glass emptied at a gulp. "I don't care if I do," replied Howard. Secretly ashamed of his weakness, he shuffled aneasfly on his feet. "Well, what are you going to do, old man?" demanded Coxe aa he pushed the whisky bottle over. "I'm looking for a Job," stammered Howard awkwardly. Hastily he went on: "It Isn't so easy. If it was only myself I wouldn't mind. I'd get along somehow. But there's the little girl. She wants to go to work, and I wont hear of it. I couldn't stand for that, you know." Coxe feared a" "touch." Awkwardly he said: •• (TO BE CONTIgr.UKp.) 7 Illusions. • It Is true we labor under many illusions, but If these were to be done away with we should hardly deem It worth our while to labpf at all. Almost none of the things which man so ardently pursues In the belief that they will mike him happier la really capable o f doing so, and yet It la needful that he keep up the pursuit for the sa£e of what he Incidentally achievea'in behalf of destiny. Thedllusions we labor under partake, in fine, of the nature of sanitary conditions, though they chiefly affect e health of the spirit, and by that have no municipal functionary appointed to look vigilantly after them. N o r . ^ fact, do they need any auch, since providence baa been ao kind aa to see to It that illusions we shall always have.—Puck.

The Marietta Han Been in Honduran Waters During the Bonilla Revolution. With nine men aboard ill, possibly with yellow fever, the American gunboat Marietta has arrived at Key West, Fla. .She sailed from Central American waters under orders from the navy department, which were issued as soon a« the officials were advised that the stricken men were suspected of having yellow fever. It is now suspected that the death of Coxswain Minor, ot the Marietta. a few days ago possibly was caused by yellow fever. Originally the belief was expressed that the coxswain died of dengue fever. There are about 1,10 men aboard the Marietta. It is explained by the navy department that the Marietta was ordered to Key West because the public health and marine hospital service* lias a hospital at Dry Tortugas, off the coast of Florida, Weally adapted to the isolation of the patients and the treatment of the disease if it develops it is yellow fever. None of the officera.. of the. vessel lias yet been seized by the il!ne3s, so far as the; department is advised. The medical: officers on board the Marietta, it is said, undoubtedly will be' able to diagnose the disease before the vessel reaches Key West. The navy department was advised of the illness among the crew of the American vessel in a wireless dispatch received from Commander Cooper of the Marietta, it. is not certain that the disease is yellow feve?-, and the naval officer in his report specifically stated that the outbreak was only suspected of being the dread malady. The department was unwilling to take any chances ah(Y for that reason immediately ordered-.-tlta.vessel to an American port where the proper measures could be taken for the treatment of the strickm seamen and the prolectiQiL- Qi the remainder of the crew. i ne departure oiL the MurlullM from Honduran waters will not materially •Effect the necessary n^-val representation of the United States in Central America in connection with the Honilla revolution, as the gunboat Wheel* ing is now on the way to Puerto Cprtez.

The business of the department was lax. Insurance was easy. Statistics were not in demand. History was dead.

I have forgotten how many New Jerseys and Rhode Islands it was that could have been •towed away and lost in its chaparral. But the legislative ax has Blashed Tom Green into a handful of counties hardly larger than European kingdoms. The legislature convenes at Austin, near the center of the state; and, while the representative from the Rio Grande country Is gathering his palm-leaf fan and his linen duster to set out tor the capital, the Panhandle solon winds his muffler above his well-buitoned overcoat and kicks the snow from his well greasedbootsready- for t h e same Journey. AH this merely to hint that the big ex-republic of the southwest forms a sizable star on the flag, and to prepare for the corollary that things sometimes happen there uncut to pattern and unfettered by metes and bounds. The commissioner of insurance, statistics and history of the state of Texas was an official of no very great or very small importance. The past tense is used, for he is commissioner of insurance atone; Statistics and history are no longer proper nouns in the government records. In the year 188— the governor appointed Luke Coonrod Standifer to be head of this department. Standifer was then flity-nve_years of age, and a Texan-to'the core. His father had been otr^r'nf the state's earliest flpttlprw and #.' r. ((-,((.¾. pioneers. Standifer himself had served the commonwealth as Indian fighter, soldier, ranger and legislator. Much learning he did not claim, but he had drank pretty deep of the spring of experience. If other grounds were less abundant, Texas should be well up In the lists of glory as the grateful republic. For both as republic and state, it has busily heaped honors and solid rewards upon its sons who rescued it from the wilderness. Wherefore and therefore, Luke Coonrod Standifer, son of Ezra Standifer, ex-Terry ranger, simon-pure Democrat, and lucky dweller In an unrepresented portion of the politico-geographical map, was appointed commissioner of insurance, statistics and history. Standifer accepted the honor with some doubt as to the nature of the office he was to fill and his capacity for filling It—but he accepted, and by wire. He immediately set out from the little country town where he maintained (and was scarcely maintained by) a somnolent and Vnfruitful office of surveying and map-drawing. Before departing, he had looked up under the I's, S's and H's in the "Encylopaedia Brittanica" what information and preparation toward his official duties that those weighty volumes afforded. A few weeks of incumbency diminished the new commissioner's awe of the great and important office he,had been called upon fo conduct. An increasing familiarity with its workings soon restored him to his accustomed placid course of life. In his office was an old, spectacled clerk—a consecra- / ted, informed, able machine, who held his'desk regardless of changes of administrative heads. Old Kauffman in- ' structed his new chief gradually in the knowledge of the department without seeming to do so, and kept the wheels revolving without the slip of a cog. Indeed, the department of insurance, statistics and history carried no great heft of the burden of state. Its main •work was the regulating of the business done in the state by foreign Insurance companies, and the letter of •the law was to guide. As for statistics J—well, you wrote letters to county officers, and scissored other people's re* ports, and each year you got out a re- ?port of your own about the corn crop and the cotton crop and pecans and tpigs and black and white population, and a great many columns of figures beaded "bushels'* and "acres" and "square miles," etc.—and there yon w*re. History? The branch was pure- V ly a receptive one. Old ladies inter- *' ested in the science bothered, yow 1 some with long reports of proceeding* of their historical societies. Some twenty or thirty people would write ••: you each year that, they had secured • Bam Houston's <noeket knife or Santa Ana's whisky-flask or Davy Crockett's ' rifle—an absolutely authenticated— and demanded, legislative appropriation to purchase. Most of the work to the history brant* went into pigeon-holes. One slssltof August afternoon, the commissioner reclined in his office chair, with (his feet upon the tone, official table covered with green billiard cloth. The commissioner was smoking a cigar, and dreamily regarding the quivering landscape framed by the, - Utodow that looked trposTehe treeless enpitoi grounds. Perhaps he was think- < **fMf«t the r l M * 0 d ***** lHe«he had JtdVof the, of breathless ad/ lost, «f trying to do business contrary to the edicts of the great Lone Star statq. The office was very *sti\\. A few subdued noises trickled hi through the open door from the other departments —a dull, ^inkling crash from the treasurer's office adjoining, as a clerk tossed a bag of sliver to the floor of the vault—the vague, intermittent clatter of a dilatory typewriter—a dull tapping from the state geologist's quarters as if some woodpecker had flownin to bore for his prey in the cool of the massive building—and thep a faint rustle and the Jight shuffling of the w©ii worn—shoes along the hsHy~ the sounds ceasing a t the door toward which the commissioner's lethargic back was presented. Following this, the sound of a gentle voice speaking words unintelligible to the commissioner's somewhat dormant comprehension, but giving evidence of bewilderment and hesitation'. The voice was feminine; the commissioner was of the race of cavaliers who make salaani before the trail of a skkt without considering the quality df its cloth. There stood in the door a faded woman, one of the numerous sisterhood of the unhappy., She dressed all rn black—poverty's perpetual mourning for lost, joys. Her face had the contours of twenty and the lines of forty. She may have lived that intervening score of years in a twelvemonth. There was about her yet an aurum of Indignant, unappeased, protesting youth that shone faintly through the premature veil of unearned decline. "I beg your pardon, ma'am," said the commissioner, gaining his feet to the accompaniment of a great creaking and sliding of his chair. "Are you the governor, sir?" asked the vision of melancholy. The commissioner hesitated a t ' the end of his best bow, with his hand in the bosom of his double-breasted "frock." Truth at last conquered. "Well, no, ma'am. I am not the governor. I have the honor to be commissioner of insurance, statistics and history. Is there anything ma'am, I can dp fer you? Won't you have a chair, ma'am?" The lady subsided into the chair handed her, probably from purely physical reasons. She wielded a cheap fail—last token of gentility to be abandoned. Her clothing seemed to indicate a reduction almost to extreme poverty. She looked at the man who was not the governor, and saw kindliness and simplicity and a rugged, unadorned courtliness emanating from a countenance tanned and toughened by forty years of out of doors. Also;"she saw that his eyes were clear and strong and blue. Just so they had been when he used them to skim the hofi* zon for raiding Kiowas and Sioux. His mouth was as set and firm as it had been on that day when he bearded the old Hon Sam Houston himself, and defied him during that season when secession was^the theme. Now, in bearing and dress, Luke Coonrod Standifer endeavored to do credit to the important arts and sciences of insurance, statistics and history. He had abandoned the careless dress of his country home. Now, his broadbrimmed black slouch hat, and his long-tailed "frock" made him not the, least imposing of the official family, even If his office was reckoned t o stand at the tail of the list. "You wanted to see the governor, ma'am?" asked the commissioner, with the deferential manner he always used toward the fair sex. "I hardly know," said the lady hesitatingly. "I suppose so." And then, suddenly drawn by the sympathetic look of the other, she poured forth the story of her need. It was a story so common that the public has come to look at its monotony instead of its pity. The old tale of an unhappy married life—mads so toy a brutal, conscienceless husband, a robber, a spendthrift, a moral coward, and a bully, who failed to provide even the means of the barest existence. Yes, he had come down In the scale so low as-to strike her. It happened only the day ^before—there was the bruise cm one temple—she had offended his highness' by asking for a little money to Hve ok And yet she must needs, woman-llkeVappend a plea tor her tyrant—he was dunking; he had rarely abased her thus-when sober. "I thought," murmured this pale sister, of sorrow, "that maybe the state might be'willing to give me some re* lief. I've heard of*, such, things being done for the famines of old settlers, rve heard tell thai the .state used to give land to the meo^bo fought for it against Mexico, and settled up the got 'their land certificates issued, and located long ago. Still, we can look that up in the land office, and be sure. Your father's name, now, was—" "Amos Colvin, sir." "Good Lord!" exclaimed Standifer, rising and unbuttoning his tight coat, excitedly. "Are you Amos Colvin's daughter? Why, ma'am, Amos Colvin and me were thicker than two hoss thieves for more than ten years! We fought Kiowas, drove cattle and rangered side by side nearly all over Texas. I rentembeT seeing you once before, now. You were a kid, about seven, a-riding a little yellow pony up and down. Amos and me stopped at your home for a little grub when we were^trailing that band of Mexican cattle thieves down through Karnes and Bee. Great tarantulas! and you're Amos Colvin's little girl! Did you ever hear your father mention Luke Standifer—just kind of casually—as if he'd met me once or tvice?" A little pale-smile flitted across the lady's white face. "It seems to me," she said, "that I don't remember hearing him talk about much else. TSvery day there was some story he had to tell about what he and you had done. Mighty near the last thing !I heard him tell was about the time when the Indians wounded him, and you crawled out to him through the grass, with a canteen of water, while'they—" - "Yes, yes—well—ohl that anything," said Standifer, "hemming" that thjra was seme land, or. a pension, coming to him from the state that bf'aaver would ask for." Luke Standifer rose to his feet, and pushed his chair bank. He looked rather perplexedly around the big office, with its handsome furniture. "It's a long trail to follow," he said, loudly and buttoning his coat again, briskly. "And now, ma'am, who was the infernal skunk—I beg you,r pardon, ma'am—-who was the gentleman you married?" "Benton Sharp." The commissioner plumped down again into his chair, with a groan. This gentle, sad little woman, in the rustyvblack,gown, the daughter of his oldest friend, the wife of Benton Sharp! Benton Sharp, one of the most the government. There's red tape and lawyers and rulings and evidence and courts to keep you waiting. I'm not certain," continued the commissioner, with a profoundly meditative frown, "whether this department that I'm the bo s of has any jurisdiction or not. It's -mly insurance, statistics and hieto n ma'am, and it don't sound as if it «. Jld cover the case. But sometimes a saddle blanket can be made to stretch. You keep your seat, juBt for a few minutes, ma'am, till I step Into the next room and see about it." The state treasurer was seated within his massive, complicated railings, reading a newspaper. Business for the day was about over. The clerks lolled at their desks, awaiting the closing houT. The commissioner of insurance, statistics and history entered, and leaned in at the window. The treasurer, a liltle, brisk, old man, with snow-white mustache and beard, jumped up youthfully and came forward to greet Standifer. They were friends of old. "Uncle Frank," said the commissioner, using the familiar name by which the historic treasurer was adflressed by every Texan, "how much money have you got on hand ?" The treasurer named the sum of the last balance down to the odd cents— something more than a million dollars. The commissioner whistled lowly, and his eyes grew hopefully bright. -tfjosrTt f~"^ouknow,-or else you've heard of, Amos Colvin, Uncle Frank?" "Knew him well," said the treasurer, promptly. "A good man. A valuable citizen. One of the first settlers in the southwest." "His daughter," said Standifer, "is sitting in my office. She's penniless. She's" married to Benton Sharp, a coyote and a murderer. He's reduced her to want, and broken her heart. -Her father helped build up this state, and it's the state's turn to help his child. A couple of thousand dollars will buy T '. ) but shocked. The commissioner's voice had grown louder as he rounded 'Off the sentences that, however praiseworthy they might be in sentiment, reflected somewhat upon the capacity of the head of a more or less important department of state. The clerks were beginning to listen. "Now, Standifer," said the tr««J«>rer, soothingly, "you know I'd like to help in this matter, but stop and think a moment, please. Every cent in the treasury is expended only by appropriation made by the legislature, and drawn out by checks issued by the comptroller. I can't control the use of a cent of It. Neither can you. Your department Isn't dibbursivK- it i*u't even administrative—it's purely clerical. The only way for the lady to obtain relief is to petition the legislature, and—" '•To the devil with the legislature," said Standifer, turning away. The treasurer called him back. "I'd be glad, Standifer, to contribute a hundred dollars personally toward the Immediate expenses of Colvin's daughter." He reached for bis pocketbook. •Never mind, Uncle, Frauk," said the commissioner, In a Bofter tone. "There . no need of that. She hasn't asked for anything of that sort yet. Besides, her case is in my hands. I see now what a little, rag-tagr^bc^btail, gbtch-eared department I've been put In charge of. It seems to be about as important as an almanac or a hotel register. But while I'm running it, it won't turn away any daughters of Amos Colvin without stretching its jurisdiction to cover, if possible. You want to keep your eye on the department of insurance, statistics and history." . _ _ ^_ The commissioner returned to his office, looking thoughtful. He opened and closed an Inkstand on his desk many times with extreme and undue attention before he spoke, "Why don't you get a divorce?" he asked, suddenly. "I haven't the money to pay for it," answered the lady. ' "Just at present," announced the commissioner, In a formal tone, "the plpwers of my department appear to be considerably string-halted. Statistics seem to be overdrawn at the bank, and history isn't good for a square meal. But you've, corno to the right place, ma'am. The department will see you through, Where did you say your husband is, ma'am?" "He was in San Antonio yesterday. He is living there now." I perado In so low a tone, that no one else caught the word.8. Sharp sprang u*, wild with rage. In the meantime Mr. Standifer had stepped some yards away, and was standing quietly with his arms folded across the breast of hitj loosely hanging coat. With that impetuous and deadly rapidity that made Sharp so dreaded, he reached for the gun he carried in his hip pocket—a movement that has preceded the death of at least a dozen men at his hands. Quick as the motion was, the bystanders assert that it was met by the most beautiful exhibition of lightning gun-pulling ever witnessed in the southwest. As Sharp's piatol was being raised-*-and the act was really quicker than the eye could follow—a glittering 44 appeared SB ir by some conjuring trick in the right hand of Mr. Standifer, who without a perceptible movement o{ his arm, Bhot Benton Sharp through the heart. It srems thatnhe new commissioner of insurance, statistics and history has been an old-time Indian fighter and ranger for many yearB, which accounts for the happy knack he has of handling a 44. Ft is not believed that Mr. Standifer will be put to any inconvenience beyond a necessary formal hearing today, as all the witnesses who were present unite in declaring that the deed was done in self-defense. "ARE YOU AMOS COLVIN'S DAUGHTER?' noted "bad"-men la that part of the state—:a man who had been a cattle thief, an outlaw, a desperado, and was now a gambler, a swaggering bully, who plied his trade in the larger frontier towns, relying upon his record and the quickness of his gun play to maintain his supremacy. Seldom did anyone take the risk of going "up against" B'enton Sharp. Even the law officers were content to let him make his own terms of peace. Sharp was a ready and an accurate shot, and as lucky as a brand-new penny at coming clear from his scrapes. Standifer wondered how this pillaging eagle ever came to be mated with Araoa Colvin's little dove, and expressed his wonder. Mrs. Sharp sighed. "Yon see, Mr. Standifer, we didn't know anything about him, and he can be very pleasant and kind when he wants to. We lived down in the little town of Goliad. Benton came riding down that way, and stopped there a while.-- -X reckon- 4- was some better looking then than I am now. He was good to me for a whole year after we were married. He insured his life for me for five thousand dollars. But for the last sli months he has done everything but kill me. I often wish he had done that, too. He got out of money for a while, and abused) me shamefully' for not having anything be could spend. Then father died, and left me the little home In Goliad. My husband made me sell that, and turned me out into the world. I've barely been: able to live, for I'm not strong enough to work. Lately, I heard he was making money in San Antonio, so I went there, and found him, 'and asked tor a little-hefp.

We'll fix up the red-tape business afterward." The treasurer looked a little bewil- (dered. "Why, Standifer," he said, "you know 1 can't pay a cent out of the treasury without a warrant from the comptroller. I can't disburse a doli- Jar without a voucher to show for It.** The commissioner betrayed a slight impatience. "I'll give you a voucher," he declared. "What's this Job they've given me for? Am I just a knot on a raesquite flttrmp? Can't my office stand for it? Charge It up to Insurance and the other two sideshows. Don't statistics show that Amos Colvin came to this state when It was in the hands of Greasers and rattlesnakes and *Comanches, and fought day and night to make a white man's country of it? Don't they show that, Amos Colvin's daughter Is brought to ruin by a villain who's trying to pull down what you and I and all old Texane shed our blood to build up? Don't history show that the Lone Star state never yet failed to grant relief to tbe suffering and oppressed children of the men who made her the grandest commonwealth in the Union?

"Your name's Amanda, isn't it?" "Yes, sir." "I thought so. I've heard your dad say it often enough. Well, Amanda, - here's your father's best friend, the head of^a big office in the state government, that's going to help you out of your troubles, And Ihen here's the old bushwhacker and cowpuncher that. your father has helped out of scrapes tine and time "again wants to auk you a question. Amanda, have you got money enough to run yon for the next two or three days?" Mrs. Sharp's white face flushed the least hit. "plenty, sir—for a few days." "All right, then, ma'am, Now you go back where yon are stopping here, and you come to the office again the day after tomorrow at four o'elock^ in the afternoon. Very likely by that time there will be something definite to frpi.rt to you." The commissioner hjesitated, and looked a trifle embarrassed. "You said your husband had insured his Mfo for $5,000'. Do you know whether the premiums have been kept paid upon it or not?" "I^o paid for a whole year In advance1 .about five -months ago," said Mrs., Sharp. "I have the policy and rccelpis in my trunk."- Mrs. Shaip departed, and soon afterward Luke Standifer went down to the little hotel where ho boarded and looked up the railrcad time table In the daily paper. Half an hour laier hq removed his coat and vest, and strapped a peculiarly constructed pistol holster across his shoulders, leaving the receptacle close under his left armpit, Into the holster he shoved a short-barreled 44-caliber revolver. Tutting on his clothes again, he strolled down (o tbe station and caught the flv#-rwenty afternoon train for San Antonio. The San Autonio Express of the following morning contained this sensational piece of news: BENTON SHARP MEETS HIS MATCH When Mrs. Sharp appeared at the office cf the commissioner, according to appointment, she found that gentleman calmly eating a golden russet apple, He greeted her without embarrassment and without hesitation at approaching the subject that^ was the topic of the day. "L h&d to do It. ma'am." he said. simply, '"or get it myself. Mr. Kauffman," he added, turning to tha old clerk, "please look up the records of the Security Life Insurance company and see if they are all right." "No need to Look,"1 grunted Kauffman, who had everything in his head. "It's all O. K. They pay all losses within ten days.",-, Mrs. Sharp soon^rose to depart. She had arranged to remain in town until the policy was paid. The commissioner did not detain her. tee"" was a woman, and be did not know just what to say to her at present, Rest and time would bring herNwhat she needed. But, as she was leaving, Luke Standifer indulged himself In an official remark. "The department of insurance, sta--.. tlsllcs and history, ma'am, has duim the best, it could with your case. Twas a case hard to cover according to red tape. Statistics failed, and history missed Are, but, if I maj be permitted to say it, we came out particularly strong on Insurance."

Thus his men are ceaselessly roaming over the entire globe, sighing like Alexander for more worlds to conquer, but, unlike Alexander, constantly finding them.- Year by year the traveling photographer ia-Uriven to greater exertion and larger risk. Thus one famous photographer journeyed 24,000 miles on foot that*tte world might see1 how elephants are hunted in^frndustan. And another photographer, who was in Peking-at the time of the Boxer uprising, planted his camera close beside the famous south gate just before it was blown up with dynamite, so that he could ""show the people at home how muc.b,.„smoke a ti> namitis^Xplpston makes." A successful traveling photographer, like a poet, J s bcrn, not made. In addition to being a skilled camera man, he must have nerve and bravery, he must be cool, he must be a linguist, be must know how to command men—often/he travels at the head of a caravan—and he must fcnow how-to make himself persona grata. For unless he find favor his skill and his bravery are often in vain. During the Japanese war with Russia a famous American photographer who was making his way to the battle line was halted by a minor Japanese officer. The photographer showed his credentials and protested. The offlcar was obdurate. He explained t h a t it was forbidden ground. "Ask General Nogi about it," suggested the photographer. The officer did so. "If ii is the American artist," the commander-inchief sent back'word, "let him go anywhere he want* to go." That photographer was a favorite with 'General N«gi. Above all thing* the traveling photographer must have news sense. He must get not. only wfiat he Is sent for. but anything else that is of interest. V.. • - ! • . "..No pocket kodaks are the cameras that the twireling photographer carries with him. The mBii who goci half way round the world to get a"picture must be certain to get it when arrives. He ean take no chances. So he has instruments that he can rely on. As big and heavy as a hod . of/frricks to one of these machines, and the cameraman takes two or three of them along. Each 3a jfaited to some particular kind of work. Then "there are heavy tripods to carry, extra lenses, tntoks fall of plates, a portable dark room with dMBiaalara* well as. a cooking and camping outfit F"dr tn» camera man is sometimes gone from <etlM*ati0n. for months at a time. To transport #M"tMt #<ltiH>»e*t a large party is needed. Thus i a a photographer often finds himself at the head ^ a oonaWerable caravan.

Such expeditionsare costly—all the more reason why the pictures should be good. MfT-Rudolph Wllle, who is now a New York photographer, went over very much the same ground In 1901 that ox-President Roosevelt traversed. Wllle had two white assistants and 19 negro porters, The party walked 1,500 miles: They were gone nine months. After their provisions gave out they lived principally on native sweet potatoes and peanuts, wiih some birds. Some of the time they _had nothing to eat. They smoked driedleaves. The trip cost $10,000 and Mr. Wllle brought back only 400 pictures. The rest of his plates were lost through mishaps. Because the traveling photographer Is com stantly going from one part of the world to another and seeing life in so many phases, he is probably subject to more difficulties and dangers than almost any other man. One day he Is climbing a dangerous mountain peak. The next he is photographing a volcano. He gets a head-on picture of a horse race. He shows the world what happens during a riot. With the hunter he shares the dangers of the forest; but he takes chances no hunter would dare to take. He sometimes crosses raging torrents on slender cable bridges. Af ain he braves the sea in a tiny boat. He crawls around on the skeleton work of high buildings. In war time he faces hardships, sickness and bullets. And like the explorer he suffers privation, heat, cold,and'hunger. For the public must see the uttermost »arts of the earth. That the public may know how he works, the traveling photographer sometimes has a picture taken ot himself in action. Mr. Horace Ashton is shown in an illustration' taking a bird's-eye view of New York city. Mr. H. G. Ponting once spent two days photographing Indian alligators. Whenever he approached they charged him. FU natty by handing thorn meat on a pole he got thedesired pictures, snapping the brutes as they stopped 1O bolt, the meat. Then he decided to get a picture of himself photographing an alligator. This was still more difficult. He had to be nearer the animal and really make It pose for the picture. At last everything was right and the assistant pressed the bulb. At the same Instant the alligator leaped forward. It missed Mr, Ponting by an inch.' Mr. Wille waa asked for pictures showing himself in a dangerous position. "A man Is never photographed in his most perilous moments," was his answer. He admitted that he had taken pictures that involved "a Uttte -risk." When he waa in Africa, for Instance, three lion• suddenly sprang at him from behind a rock. He scrambled up the rock to reach a treo. As he Jumped from Iff* f«4* t k t ^ W J M f t * « • «M M»k. They .were a few inches behind him. He |got into the tree safely, though she ^dropped his gun. His camera $ a s strapped to his back, so he sat on a limb and photographed his pursuers. "You can see very well," said Mr. Wille, "why I have no picture of myself doing it." Mr Dugmore's most thrilling moment in Africa would likewise have been impossible to photograph. He had crept to within 30 yards ot a sleeping rhinoceros, when the beast suddenly jumped up and charged him at expresstrain speed. Mr. Dugmdre took a head-on picture of the beast at lo yards, and his companion fired at the drop of the shutter, fortunately turning the animal. Although Mr. Dugmore has no picture of himself in this situation, his photograph of the charging rhinoceros is one of the most remarkable pictures in existence. Yet photographers have sometimes gotten pfetures of themselves in extremely dangerous situations; but such pictures are prob- -ribly lllH'eT pOsed for. That i"s~mra+- Mr. Wille had in mind when he said that one's perilous moments --*• neve?.'pictured. I have seen a photograph of a moving-picture man in a battle, who wan made conspicuous by his wagon and his outfit, but who was nevertheless calmly grinding. away at his machine while shells and bullets were falling all-around himr -J3ut—h«~w&s-»»tposing. He was so, intent upon his work that he did not know that a fellow knight of the camera had snapped his picture. Mr. Ponting has an equally remarkable likeness of himself. With an assistant he one day climbed the Japanese mountain Asama-Yania to get a .picture of the crater. While hiH helper stood waiting with another camera Mr. Ponting advanced to lhe_£dge -_of_±he volcanoes mouths—He—was—In the very act of taking a picture when an eruption occurred. The assistant was as quick as the volcano. He snapped Mr. Ponting before the latter could even turn round. Then the two ran for their lives Not all of the difficulties of securing pictures are physical. People have to be photographed as well as things and animals, and many prominent personages have such a deep~ hatred for camera men that they go to great lengths to balk them. Mr. J. P. Morgan, for Instance has an unpleasant habit of breaking his cane over the back of an offending photographer; This would not bother the camera man a partlcT&<s?ere it not that Mr. Morgan alwayB sees to It that the-camera i s broken witTf the back. Another difficult suTbjeet to photograph is John D. Rockefeller. ^ \ Many of the men who watch<the world with the camera have chosen some special fteKLpf endeavor. Mr. E. S\ Curtis/and Mr. George Wharton^ Jones have elected to photograph the Indian. But fh or^ der to overcome the Indian'! fear of the camera and to get Intimate pictures of their life that would have historic value these men have had to live for months and years among 4he aborigines. Mr. James is an adopted member of the Mokl Indian tribe. His Indan name is White-man-with-the-longbeard- who-ls-not^afrald-of-rattlesnakes. In some of their religious ceremonials the Mokis use live rat* tiers. Mr. James, in order to get his pictures, went through the ceremonies with them. As a result ha was laid up for months with a snake bite. The photographing of wild creatures likewise has its devotees. Mr. Julian A. Dimock spent a sumphotographing tarpon In Florida, Miss Julia Rogers, the naturalist, fished for him, and played the tarpon within range of the camera. The two were in a rowboat. The result of that summer's campaign is a most wonderful series of photographs, showing the huge fish at every stage of their great l e a p s . ' > • Mr. Dugmore and Mr. Schillings, the German, scientist, are among the most daring of animal photographers. Each has spent months In Africa photographing the fauna. Even more dangerous is the practice, which the world's insatiable thirst for knowledge has brought about, of photographing wild animals at night. In the blazing light of day the photographer can take his picture fr^m a cornparatlvely safe distance, particularly If he 1¾ using a telephqtp lens. But iri*^he darkness of night the subject must be within the radius of the flashlight—a distance a t most of only a few yards. Then, too, wild animals can see In the dark. Man cannot. With "The fall of night, also, wild animals lose in part their fear of man. Thus the chances are all against the photographer. Of all the men who are now watching the world with the camera the most famous is Prof. James Ricalton of Maplewood, N. J. That la he la of Maplewood on those few occasions when he it home. Mr. Ricalton waa once a school teacher. His scientific knowledge and <his love of travel caused Mr. Thomas Edison to send him to ladja to find a certain kind of wood for electrical pur poaes.

Now that we have entered upon the making of a new year, it is natural to look back over t h e past one, for the purpose of ascertaining what has been done. The business man and the farmer have taken stock, and both, if they are keen in butdnesB detail and interest, know exactly ,their financial position. The farmer of Western Canada is generally a business man, and in his stock-taking he will have found that he has had a successful year. On looking over a number of reports sent from various quarters, the writer finds that in spite of the visitation of drouth in a small portion of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba/many farmers are able to report splendid crops. And these reports come from different sections, covering an area of about 25,000 square miles. As, for instance, at Laird, Saskatchewan, the crop returns showed that J. B. Peters had 12,800 bushels from 320 acres, or nearly 40 bushels to the acre. In the Blaine Lake district the fields ranged from 15 to 50 bushels per acre, Ben Crews having 1,150 bushels from 24, acres; Edmond Trotter 1,200 bushels off 30 acres, while fields of 30 bushels were common. On poorly cultivated fields but 15 bushels were reported. In Foam Lake (Sask.) district 10Q bushels of oats to the acre were se» cured by Angus Robertson, D. McRae and C. H. Hart, while the average was 83. In wheat 30 bushels to the acre were quite common on the newer land, but off 15 acres of land cultivated for the past three years George E. Wood secured 495 bushels. Mr. James Traynor, near Reglna (Sask.) is still on the shady side of thirty. He had 50,000 bushels of grain last year, half of which was wheat. Its market value was $25,000. He says he is well satisfied. Arthur Somers of Strathclair threshed 100 acres, averaging 26 bushels to the acre. Thonfas Foreman, of Milestone, threshed 11,000 Toushels of wheut, and 3,000 bushels of flax off 600 acres of land. W. Weatheistone, of Strathclair, threshed 5,000 bushels of oats from 96 acres.

The crops at the C. P. R. demonstration farms at Strathmore (Alberta) proved up to expectations, the Swedish variety oats yielding 110 bushels to the acre. At the farm two rowed barley went 48½ bushels to the acre. Yields of from 50 bushels to 100 bushels of oats to the acre were quite common in the Sturgeon River Settlemept near Edmonton (Alberta). But last year was uncommonly good and the hundred mark was passed. Wm. Craig had a yield of oats from a measured plot, which gave 107 bushels and 20 Iba. per acre. Albert Teskey, of Olds (Alberta) threshed a 100-acre field which yielded 101 bushelB of oats per acre, and Joseph McCartney had a large field equally good. At Cupar (Sask.) oats threshed 80 bushels to the acre. On the Traquairs farm at Cupar, a fiveacre plot of Marquis wheat yielded 54 bushels to the acre, while Laurence Barknel had 37 bushels of Red Fife to the acre. At Wordsworth, Reeder Bros.' wheat averaged 83¼ bushels to the acre, and W. McMillan's 32. William Krafft of Allx (Alberta) threshed 1,042 bushels of winter wheat off 19*4 acres, or about 53 bushels to the acre. John Laycroft of Dlnton, near High River, Alberta, had over 1,100 bashels of spring wheat from GO acres. £ . F. Knipe, near Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, had §00 bushels of wheat from 20 acres/ W. Metcalf had over 31 bushels to the acre, while S. Henderson, who was hailed badly, had an average return of 32 bushels of wheat to the acre. McWhlrter Bros, and John McBalp, of Redvers, Saskatchewan, had 25 buahela of wheat to the acre. John Kennedy, east of the Horae Mills dlatrict near Edmonton, from 40 acres of spring wheat got 1,767 bushels, or 44 bushels to the acre. J. E. Vanderburgh, near Dayalow, Alberta, threshed four thousand buahela of wheat* from 120 [acres.

Most men who now raise sheep and those who are about to make a start want a breed that will produce both good mutton and good wool—a rather difficult combination. There are some breeds, however, that produce both, but like the dual cow they are not in favor with the men who believe that one must breed for milk and butter, or for beef, and notTjTor "all. v The following broods of sheep are probably better fitted by nature and improvement^to produce wool and mutton: '—•* The Shropshires are much thought of throughout the west. The ewes weigh from 125 to 180 pounds, are very early maturing, producing very excellent carcasses, and shearing from 7 to 10 pounds per head. The Hampshires are a large sheep, not quite so early maturing, but pro- The Dorsets, when mature, weigh from 130 to 180 pounds, and are very prolific. They shear a fleece of medium weight, and.yield a good carcass. They are particularly valuable because of their extreme prolificacy, producing frequently three times in two years. The Rambouillettes and Delaine Merinos are fine wool sheep, and produce fleeces which will yield from 10 to 16~ pbunrls= per head; They -alsa produee good carcasses of mutton; however, more emphasis has been placed upon the fleece than in the breeds mentioned above. . .. The greatest difference between the Rambouillette and the Delaine Merino is in the greater size of the former. The Cotswold, Lincoln and Lester arc known as the long-wooled breeds, producing fleeces weighing from 8 to 12 pounds, and producing good carcasses before the lambs reach the age ducing very largo lambs at an early of one year. These three breeds are age. .^fhey shear approximately the same as Shropshires. The Oxford are very similar to the Hampshires in size and character. The Southdown is particularly -.- a mutton breed, producing a fleece somewhat lighter than the breeds mentioned—above,—trrrt—rrevur I Helens' producing a good fleece and a most excellent carcass of mutton. PUPPY LIKED FRESH MILK comparatively large. But breed is not everything in the selection of breeding-rams and ewes. After one has made up his mind as to the breed he wants then—he must know how to select the best individual of that breed.

Apples Without Cores. Almost everybody has heard the story of the boy who asked his companion for the core of his apple, to which request the companion made the historic remark: "There ain't goin' to be no core." Now Justice of the Peace David Barb of Clifford, Bartholomew county, Indiana, has an apple tree, and that tree—bears apple*. Should any l>erso'n ask for the core of an apple from toe tree he would be doomed to disappointment, because the .apples do not have cores. Justice Barb saysj the tree that bears the apples never blooms in the spring, but through /some freak process It bear*, apples the same as other trees. These apples are without a core, and they are plso seedless. Kills Predatory Chickens.

The first time of its occurrence, perhaps twenty-five years ago, after trying home remedies without getting helped, I asked my doctor to prescribe for me, butTTt'was not for a year or more that my nails and fingers were well. The inflammation and suppuration began at the base of the finger nail. Sometimes it was so painful that I had to use a poultice to induce suppuration. After the pus was discharged the swelling would go down until the next period of inflammation, possibly not more than^jwefik_or twe afterwjyrd^/rjjese frequent inflammations resulted in the loss of the nail. I had sometimes as many as three fingers in this state at one time. | "Perhaps ten years later I began again to suffer from the same trouble. Again I tried various remedies, among them a prescription from a doctor of1,, a friend of mine, who had suffered from a like trouble, This seemed to help somewhat for a time, but it wa3 not a permanent cure; next tried a prescription from my own doctor, but this was so irritating to the sensitive, diseased skin that 1 could not use it.

Few things will contribute more to the comfort and "sanitation" of a home than nn ample supply of run-' ning water. This Is one of the substantial attractions of the city home. That it is found In comparatively few farmsteads is a reproach to the thrift of the owners, as well as to their characters as husbands and fathers. A supply of running water is not only a household convenience, but it is a money-saver in numerous ways. In the mere matter eff watering cattle,... it will not only make a large saving of labor, but it will increase the flow of milk in dairy cattle and cause fattening beeves to lay on more flesh than when their drink is limited. The economies it will effect on even the moderate sized farmstead will amount to a good deal more each year than the interest on an investment of $500; and only rarely would the outlay for its installation amount to so large a sum as that. Forest Henrys in a re-- cent article, figures that—a well being already available—the cost may be kept within $200; which includes a $100 windmill; 100 feet of 1%-inch pipe, connecting with house and barn, and cost of laying same; the building of a cistern; a small stock tank; float valves and sundries. The interest on $200 at six per cent, is only $12 a year. It is safe to say that any farmer, with an ordinary "bunch" of cattle, loses several times that amount in butter or beef product alone, from the limitation of the amount of water which is inevitable where much labor is involved In watering the animals. All this without taking account of the conveniences, the improved healthfulness, and the saving of labor .In the house, which accompany the introduction of running water. The fanner should realize that it pays better to put profits into farm improvements of his own than to loan it at five per cent, of six per cent, to improve some other man's farm. The question with farmers should not be whether they jcatf afford .an equipment for running water, but whether they can afford to go without It Those who have installed such an equipment are usually prompt in answering this question with an emphatic negative. World's Crop of Oats, The world's croff of oaU is nearly 3,700,000,000 bushels annually, according to the department of agriculture.

Senator New lands of Nevada was soaring in debate one day, soarinc^sb high he "hit the ceiling." He realized he was getting a triiie flowery and to excuse himself said": "Indeed, Mr. President, perfcrvid oratory may be pardoned, for this subject furnishes all the food eloquence needs." That sourided pretty good to Mr. Newlands, but he was a bit abashed when he read in -the Congressional Record next day that he asserted his topic "furnished all the food elephants need." Great baseball Play. "What was the greatest baseball play you ever saw?" asked a friend of Governor-elect John W. Tener. "The greatest play I ever saw," said he, "took place in an amateur game on a town lot at Charleroi. The teams were playing on a wet field and an outfielder who wore a derby hat went after a high fly. He came to a little pond and tuking his eye off the ball made a jump to cross it. As he was leaping the ball struck him on the head, went through the crown of his hat and lodged there. The base runner was out and the fielder had not touched the ball with his hands. Can you beat ' it?"—Washington Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch. old her Trre Lord's Advertisement.

Juukaoii, well known aa oue of our most bucuessful and enterprising business men, has sold bia stock of dry floods, furniture and general merchandise to K. D. Clinton. Mr. Jackson is essentially a Pinckney product He was born on his father's farm near here and started to work fortheMabn Brostwenty- four years ago. He Was with them nearly three^ years, when he accepted a pobitipn with Barnard and Campbell and remained with that firm three years. The next two years found him with Burnham Stoeple and Co., of Dt troit, at that time the largest wholesale dry goods concern in Michigan. He then returned to Pinckney, engaging iu business for himself in the store now occupied by W. W. Barnard, with a stock of dry goods etc. Five years later he moved the stock to the "Brick Store," where he first began work as a boy, and soon after absorbed the furniture business conducted by Geo. Sigler, and remained there until the present time. During those years of active business, with his unusually well developed qualifications as a salesman and business manager, Mr. Jackson has attained success financially and made for himself a reputation in his home town for honesty: andJLair dealing that will not soon be forgotten by ttre be&£-e£f friends who regret his departure Outside of his business relations he is prominent in social and fraternal organizations, being Master of the Masonic and treasurer of the Woodman and Macoabee orders. He has served several terms as councilman and is now President of'the village and an officer on the Board of Education, and has always been a strong advocate for bettering the appearance and condition of the town and schools. Mr- Jackson is still identified with the Jackson Electric Lighting company as it's manager and for the present will have an office at the R. I). Clinton store.

Yours for business, ed* W« Broad more fi* Son i New Firm in Pinckney R. D. Clinton Now Owner Of t h e Jackson Store. Richard D. Clinton has been too long before the public in this vicinity to need an introduction through these columns. One of the solid citizens of Putnam and with the business ability, gained through many years' experience in various branches, he will, without doubt, prove to be equally as popular as his predecessor has been, v Formerly in the hardware business in Pinckney and later as traveling salesman for one of the great harvester companies, he tyas h a d opportunities for ascertaining just what the people want and how to satisfy them, that are not afforded to those with less experience. Mr. Clinton realizes that the retail busines in rural communities is now a different proposition than formerly and has new ideas which he intends to put into practice in the "Brick Store," and which will result in increasing the trade of the village merchant and keep io circulation at home a good share of the money that now goes to the mail order houses. The Dispatch wishes Mr. Clinton unqualified success in this undertaking a n d extends the glad D a n i e l R i c h a r d s Daniel Richards waa born in Monmouthshire, Wales, December JOtb 1827, and died at his home in Piuckuey, January 26tb Will, a#e H'd years, 1 month and *? days.

I am more convttrced than ever that Washington must have been in the poet's mind because he added the words, "No, not quite, a city where palaces are, is best." One can forget all about t h e heautiful government buildings i n this city, and yet know it as a place "where palaces are."

Here they build beautiful-homes, and here they are more than' content to stay from the early fall days - until the heat of the summer drives them to ,the seashore and the mountains. When a man is elected a senator of the United States and knows that he has six years' lease of offlciallife he Is almost certain either to rent or to buy outright one of the palaces of the city, or if he is morally certain that he is to have two lenses of official life, the chances are that he will build a castle for himself. Foreigners In Washington say that residential sections of that city are the -most beautiful In the world, poverty and wealth appear side by side in the capital of the Union. In seores of the city blocks little frame structures, many of them Bhaky on their foundations, the homes of negroes, stand under the shadow of the marble and granite pal* aces of the rich, so it readily can be seen that the words of the poet, "A city wiiere palaces are Is best," fit the case perfectly. John Hays Hammond was "a classmate at Yale of President Taft. Two* years ago last spring Mr. Hammond developed suddenly ah ambition to be tbe candidate of the Republicans for the office of vice-president of the United States. It was a perfectly worthy ambition of courae; for every American ought to have the right. If he has lived a •qua/e life, to feel a pulsing desire to aerve hi* fellow man In office. Mr. Hammond was not nominated, but has bean in the public eye in Washington only to a leaa extent than he would have been were It he instead of JameaS. Sherman who presides today over the deliberations of the Waited States senate. The city home of Mr. Hammond has a history of some interest. Some years ago Levi P. Morton, who was vicepresident of tbe United States under Benjamitt Harrison, built a great palace-like house on a trlangle of land bordered by Rhode Island avenue, M and Fifteenth atreeta. It is said that this restf dence still belongs to Mr. Morton. It hste been the the scene of official aoclal gatherings uninterruptedly for years. When Mr. Morton retired from the vice-presidency the residence was taken by Count Cassini, the ambassador of the czar of Russia to tbe United States, The Russian and his niece, the Countess Cassini, were great entertainers, and in their residence met the high representatives of all the different departments of government* the twin armed services, and the diplomats from all parts of the world. Tbe Morton house, under the rule of tbe Casslnft, °waa^the; scene of'social activity season after season, tfnen the house passed into the possession gf Elibu Root, secretary of state in Theodore Roosevelt's cabinet. The secretary and his wife are to domesticity Inclined. With the excaptkm of small affairs to which only close frienda were invited, the former home of the Caaslnls saw Uttle gaiety durbatf-the occupancy of the family of the former secretary of state, although there ware certain "official society" affairs which, because of hiscface.in tha a^vtrnroent^ the secretary waa in duty bound to hold and To "countenance. The most interesting gathering, from the Kocial point of view, which th<i old Morton house ever held wa.s ihat of the Invited quests who., cann; to- "Vet 1)or to .witness the •marriage of the only daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Hoot to U. Slmp- KOU Grant III. It was a simple affair, in perfect keeping with the desire of both the bride and 'groom, for joung Grant, who is a subaltern army officer, is of a retiring- disposition, and ..is not given at all to a desire for the social limelight, • either from his own nature or from the fact that he is the grandson and namesake of the great "Silent Soldier ' of the Civil war. When the Root family gave over their lease of the Morton residence John Hays Hammond then took it Up and there he lives today. Levi Z. Letter, now dead, a Chicago multi-millionaire, built one of the most imposing residences which the city of Washington holds. It stands close to Dupont circle, a fashionable residence section, and its front and side grounds are of greater extent than are usually found adjacent to a house In the city where every inch of land costs much money. The widow of Mr. Letter still occupies the great pillared house which her husband built. Within a stone's toss of the loiter residence is the marble Washington home of Mrs. R. M. Patterson, daughter of Joseph Medill, the great editor of the Chicago Tribune. The Patterson house was designed by Stanford White, who was killed by the degenerate Harry £. Thaw In New York city three or four years ago. The design for the Patterson house was one of the last works of tbe great architect. Close to the marble Patterson residence Is the home of William Boardman, his wife and daughters. Tbe Boardmans are Cleveland people. They came here some years ago, as other rich people have done, to twice up their residence and to lead the life of the capital. It Is, however, rather a different life which the Boardmans lead. Miss Mabel Boardman is the chief American spirit In the Red Cross movement. She is devoted to this work, and give* to It the major portion of her time. The Boardman house Is a scene of many gatherings of people, but at least one-half of them have humanltarianism for their object. The Boardman home Is one of the few in Washington which President Taft visits ih a purely Informal way. He "drops in" at Boardman's for afternoon tea or for an^evening call just as he would if he were not president of the United States and therefore bound by strands of the tape of etiquette. The president Is greatly Interested In the work of the Red Cross. He Is the organization's president, as Miss Boardman Is one of its hardest workers and its guiding spirit. There is one home in Washington with which there 4a connected a curious story. It Ia<the Massachusetts avenue residence of Mrsv R. H. Townsend, who Is known in Washington as Mrs. Scott- Townsend. <She is the niece of "Tom" Scott, the Pennsylvania multi-millionaire, who died several -"yefers ago. Mrs, Townsend's only daughter, MathAlde, generally has been pronounced the most beautiful of the young women of the capital city. Rumor connected the daughter "In marriage engagement possibilities" with half a dozen foreigners, all of them wall within tbe titled circle, and one or two of them of the blood royal. The daughter allowed her good sense and bar rare discrimination by marrying an American. Now, aa for the story about the Townaend house, It should be aald that It la of rather grew some interest, lira. Townaend. soma years agp looked at sion, The Octagon house IH one of the historic homes of the District of Cblumbiar- The -chaneea lire /that the spirit of patriotism will sec that the structure'tBTrnWvvvTMfr^fQT^-aH t+rm*; When- th»» Hrlt. ish entered Washington l)olly Madison, tied from the White House just b"fltor&" th« iU'd Coats arrived to apply the torch. Mrs. .Madison went to the Ontagui house, which wan the residence of the Tayloe family. Suddenly she. remembered that tthe Stuart portrait of George Washington had been left hanging on the wall of the White House. She ran back and cut the picture from lis frame and es-. caped with It just as the Iiritish soldiers erfjssed the threshold. On- Sixteenth street, hi'll in Washington is the house known to the populace as Henderson castle. It Is the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Henderson, who have lived in Washington ever slnco Mr. Henderson was, years ago, a Republican senator from the state of Missouri The Henderson house has every appearance of a castle. It is of brown stone, turreted, and it stands on a commanding hill. The Henderson home Is the scene of constant hospitality, and the diplomats representing foreign governments In the capital are frequently dinner guests of the "castle" host and hOBtess. Larz Anderson, a relative of Nicholas Long1- worth, lives on Massachusetts avenue In a huge house about which the "lecturer" on the btg sightseeing automobile calls out Interesting Information to the passengers eight or ten times a day, and the megaphonlc tones of the information giver penetrate to every recess of the Anderson family mansion. The automobile barker tells his bride and groom passengers and other sightseers that 'This Is the Larz Anderson hduse; It has 120 living rooms and GO bathrooms; It Is truly a regal residence." Only the Initiated know how much ©f-a romancer the lecturer is, but in very truth the Anderson residence is as large as an^ ordinary hotel. Mr. Anderson Is forever looking out for novelties, and he has just obtained from the manufacturers an automobile nearly as large as the sightseeing affair which goes crunching by his home every day with the leather-lunged lecturer howling aloft. Should Mr. Anderson or any of the members of his party become hungry on the long stretch of road between inns, all that would be necessary to do is tor push a crank an-mclTTirrd-gtv^^-rrttle--tugr artd out will come a cook stove, a supply of fuel, kettles and pans and a dining-room table. The food is kept In a refrigerator In another part of the machine, and another Uttle tug brings to view spring chickens, ham and eggs, bread and butter, coffee and the rest, As a matter of fact, I^.rz Anderson's automc^ bile Is nothing more or less than a traveling hotel, and at that it is a hotel which makes as fast'^jfp* on the road as is made by any of the automobiles which are guiltless of tavern attachments. The residence of Clifford Pinchot is a mansion. Of course everybody knows that it is Mr. Pinchot who has made the great American fight to save the forests of the country, and It is he who has been one of the two chief'figures In a controversy which led to a congressional investigation, and which In Its first stage led to the separation of the government's chief forester from Uncle Sam's service. The Pinchot residence has large rooms, magnificent staircases, a dining, room which is almost a banquet hall, and a library which for size and for books would suit the service of a city. This home waa not built by the forester; tt is the property of hia mother with whom he lives, for he la a bachelor. Mr. Pinchot makes the trees his closest companions, ^and apparently he loves^them above all other society, although there la a large aoclal element In hia life. The former chief forester of the government fives dinner parties regularly at his residence and fine affairs they are, but it fa known, that, ha prefers the camp fire banquet—whether tt be served In the Dismal awamp of Virginia or i n the mountains of Montana, ~___. $3,50 RECIPE CURES , WEAK KIDNEYS, FREE > • • V _ : <lf RELIEVES URINARY AJJD KIDNEY TROUBLES, B A C K A C H E ^TRAINING, S W E L L I N G , ETC.

Ctutpuua) $ . • ; • > - NJC of the most interesting exploits of Perclval Nagel—the immaculate, late, the boyish, the exquisite Percy Nagel, of BuBlVants' great agency— was the occasion w h e n , impersonating one of New York's gilded youth, he unraveled the mystery attending the disappearance of an unset diamond of almost fabulous value owned by Mrs. "Barty" Bingham, one of Manhattan's four thousand, a multi- Manhattan's four thousand, a multimillionairess by virtue of copper, coal, oil, and other quite too horrid crude products never mentioned in polite society. ,Mm "Barty" Birfgham—the late lamented Bartholomew had considerately left her a widow, fair, fat, and 40-^-had literally bought her way into the social swim by virtue of lavish entertaining, via a box at the Metropolitan, a mansion in hideously bad taste on Riverside Drive, a ''cottage" at Newport, and a "country place" in the Berk^hires. Herself of the earth earthy, it is perhaps unnecessary to chronicle: that she combined under her exaggerated coiffure all that was offensive to good taste and good manners. Loud of voice, parrot-like in speech, of execrable taste in dress and surroundings, at times profane and positively vulgar, with absolutely no mental resources, and never satisfied unless surrounded by a crowd of sycophants, Mrs. "Barty" existed solely by virtue of her millions. That she spent her money like water on these and their that alio w a a ^ t th.i t Hmii cruel and parsimonious in dealing with her domestics, naturally of a rnean and suspicious disposition, may serve to round out the portrait of a woman who for years was i h e jest, the jokeTand the dupe of^a—certain coterie in the so-called "society" of New York. There be those yet living' who will recognize the type. Yet she had her good points and her generous moments. To Bullivants' agency in the Ifark Row building came—or rather longdistance telephoned—Mrs. Bingham— the, Mrs. Bingham, if you please, in great trouble. So great was the* emergency that none but Bullivants' best and brightest would suffice her needs. It so happened that Percival Nagel of the irreproachable clothes and manners was the only member of the staff on hand who could cope Vlth a case like hers. So he was immediately *i" dispatched to the scene of trouble—a huge, rambling palace some five or six miles outside of Lenox—his only Instructions being that, to disarm suspicion— and scandal—he was to present himself in the guise of a week- . end guest and receive his instructions ^^from the, sorely-harassed chatelaine on his arrival. Fortunately for Percy and for Bullivants tie was used to playing many ••• parts and conld fill the role of idle exquisite to perfection. He knew just what to do and how and when to do ^v^W^IUwiSveB to snubbing and Insulting the He had got thus far in his mental cataloguing when the lady spoke: "You are Mr. Tv'agel? Yes. Well, Mr. —er—Nagel—there's been a most unpleasant er—occurrence here concerning which—er—I—er desiah no publicity, you understand, but which —er—I want cleared up and —er—the guilty persons punished." She did not explain how the guilty were to be punished without publicity, but Nagel let that pass, merely saying: ^ f you will acquaint me with the facts, Mrs. Bingham, 1 shall be in a position to understand and advise." "You're a detective, ain't you?" inquired the mistress of "The Boulders," dropping into the vernacular when she "ran" an eating-house in Kokomo. "Sometimes we are called that," Nagel responded gently. "Well, then, see what you can make of this: You must know that "my late husband was partial to precious stones. Jest before he died he bought an' gave me a very swell stone—a di'mond—'most as big as a pigeon's egg, and worth all of $50,0,00. 1 never had it set, 'cause some day 1 thought I might pick up its mate, an' then if wearin' eardrops came into fashion I'd have a pair, you see. Well, Mr. Nagel, the night before last while we was all at dinner somebody started V talk about di'mocds. My niece, very foolishly, mentioned my big di'mond, an' nothin' would do but 1 must have it down to show 'em. So, I sent my maid to get it out of the safe. I always kep' it in its own case, you know, an' it was passed round the table from one end to the other, up one side an' down again. Fin'lly It came back to me, an' I shut the lid an' laid the case by my plate. ' * - - _ _ _ — St first and tipping them l i t f e t f r sUsrward—as is the habit of <mf S^Wty-rich Asaerican hobble-delioy 'srJStaora^y.

Remejnber, we expect the fullest confidence from our clients. Otherwise we can promise no results. You may rely upon my discretion." Mrs. Bingham grew positively chalklike under hex make-up. "Must T answer that question. Mr. Nagel?" she inquired, hoarsely. "Unless you want me to drop the case here and now, Mrs. Bingham," was the merciless rejoinder. » "Oh—how can 1—I'm sure I don't know—but—it was so queer, you know—and—" "Any of the servants?" Nagel put in. She shook her head while dabbing at her eyes with a four-inch square of cambric. "Then it must have been—" ' "Hush, for pity's sake," she implored, looking around and out of tho open! window. "1 thought—it might have been—oh. how can 1 say it?— either Sir Nigel Deeriug or my own niec?! There!" ''But why?" persisted her inquisitor. "Because—oh/—well, because they are both poor, Mr. Nagel! And—and —I think he wants to marry her, and —perhaps she wanted to help him! And if that's «o, I'd have done anything for them"!" Her voice had sunk to a hoarse whisper during the delivery of this wholly illogical and purely-feminine supposition, and she had leaned toward him -in her agitation, her jellylike figure all a-quiver with emotion. "But you won't let it go any further, Mr. Nagel^" she implored. "You may trust my discretion to the uttermost, Mrs. Bingham. I understand your chief desire is to recover the diamond. After that—" in a mist of conjecture, and the lady's nerves Buffered accordingly. She would have liked to demand a further explanation, but there was an undefinable something about the slender, youthful-looking sleuth from Bullivants which warned her that he must be allowed to follow his chosen tactics without Inquisitive interference. So the much worried hostess repressed her curiosity, and awaited the march of events with patient resignation. * Among his many other valuable mental qualities, Mr. Perclval Nagel might be said to possess in an uncommon degree the faculty which has been termed "the leaping mind." for want of a better name. Over and over again had the value of this unique trait been proved at the very outset of many cases in which he had been engaged. In this instance, however, he found himself confronted with a case where some scientific knowledge was badly needed as well as intuition. The problem of Mrs. Bingham's solitare required the exercise of both these qualities—and the Bullivant expert was fortunately not lacking in either. A short conversation during the following Sunday with Miss Marcia Inness, niece of Mrs. Bingham, and a few words exchanged with Sir Nigel Deerlng, carried sufficient weight with Nagel to eliminate both these suspects from the purely-criminal aspect of the case, in his opinion. I^ater, when, although-it was Sunday night, bridge and music engrossed the attention of most of the guests, he managed to secure a few minutes' tete-a-tete with the girl. "You know, Miss Inness," he began without formal preamble, "that 1 am gaged," B^e~*^iurmured. "He la a splendid English gentlemaV" she added, with girlish enthusiasm. "We were going to tell Aunt Laura the very night she missed the diamond, but she was no upset that there was no opportunity then or sinco.7 Percy Nagel had heard about\all he needed to confirm his belief/nevertheless one link in his chaitf oi evidence remained to be forged\^So, late as it was, he asked to be driven to the nearest telegraph office, where he tiled the following laconic dispatch to Griff an y's in New York: "Wire full pedigree of Brazilian diamond sold to late Bartholomew Bingham." By 11 o'clock Monday morning the reply was in his hands, and his ease was complete. Most of the guests were on the links or out motoring, so he lost no time in requesting an interview with the portly chatelaine of "The Boulders." She received him In her own special boudoir. "I am happy to inform you. Mrs. Bingham, that the mystery attending the disappearance of your solitaire is solved. There was no theft, no loss, as we usually understand the term, and consequently neither your guests nor your servants—nor anyone else, for that matter—need be under suspicion." "Then what—?" MrB. Bingham was beginning when he interrupted. "If you will pardon me I can make the matter clear in a very few words. You are simply the victim of a freak of nature!" This was anything but a lucid statement to a lady of Mrs. Bingham's modest mental caliber, and Nagel watched her facial surprise with twinkling eyes. , v S3!

There was nothin' Inside but th' crimson plush Ilnin'!" "And then what happened?" queried Nagel, as the short-breathed narrator paused, her fat bosom palpitating and she herself hgarse with emotion. '%. "Why, th' whole table was in an uproar. My guests felt dreadfully. Bein' a lady, I accused no one, of course—but some one took that di'mond, Mr. Nagel, an' I want to know who It was pretty quick!" "You are sure the stone was in the box when it came back to you after going the rounds of the table?" "If it was ray last dying word I'd swear to it," was the agitated answer. "How many were at table, not counting the servants, of course?" "Let me see," and Mrs. Bingham began counting on her plump and hideously bejeweled fingers. "Why— er—we sat down 18 all told." "Yes. And who was the last person who handled the box and the stone before it was returned to you?" "Tffat'e- the most awful part of th' whole thing, Mr. Nagel," returned his hostess, lowering her voice and almost whispering. "Sir Nigel Deering occupied the place of honor on my right hand. It was him who handed the box to me with one of his bee-yu-tlful bows. It would mortify me to death even to hint that he knew anything about it." "What did your guests say and do?" "Why they all jumped up an' pushed their chairs back an' began to hunt for the stone. But I knew that was no use—'cause I'd seen it in th' box when It came back to me, an' so I told 'em. Then some of the men —oh, they all acted like perfect gentlemen— laughed and tried to joke it off, an' said we'd ought to close the doors and search every one present. An' would you belHfre it, Sir Nigel Deer ing behaved just noble—said that he'd volunteer to be th' first one!" "And was the suggestion carried out?" queried Nagel, gently. For despite Jhe inherent vulgarity of his hostess and employer, he somehow could not help liking her. "Why, Mr. Nagel, of course not!" came the surprised ejaculation. "1 hope I know my duties to my guests. Mot for a dosen such dl'monds would I s o Insult them—particularly Sir Nigel. 'Course, I laughed It off— said I guessed th' maids 'd find it in th' mornin' when they swep*. an' turned.It off like that But true as I sit here, Mr. Nagel, I haven't alep' a win* thtakin' of it!

"Said he'd hesrd of you in London/'' , Percy nodded, rejecting that might very well be the. esse, and also that the suggestion 'shows* the baronet j o b * well posted,id-#ucb matters. "Now, Mrs. Bingham," he resumed, 'speaking very earnestly and eyeing "Good morning. I am looking for 'The Rose-Colored. World' in a pretty binding. Will you—" "Oh, you are just the floorwalker.

Are all the people still here?" "Every one!" "I should like to join you at dinner to-night, but of course you'll say nothing to connect me with the miss ing diamond." "That'll be all right,"-Mrs. Bingham assured him. "I'll tell Chalmers to set a plate for you." "Lastly," said Nagel. as he rose, "kindly send the em'pty case to my room immediately. Better; wrap it up, however, so that the servants won't suspect" Mrs. "Barty" nodded comprehension, and really seemed to feel better now that the case was in capable hands. Within 15 minutes the morocco-covered and plush-lined case bearing the mark of a famous New York firm was handed through the door, swathed in three or four papers, by Mrs. Bingham's own maid, Celeste. Nagel locked his door and set about examining the nest which had so recently contained a treasure worth 150,000. He scrutinized it inside and out, particularly the inside, under a powerful lens, and tben tossed the case oo the bed with a contemptuous —"1 thought so." The exact trend of his thoughts, however, was ooly partially divulged by a few words which he whispered to Mrs. "Barty," after he had taken carefnl notice of each guest at dinner. The hostess had glanced at him evening, and Nagel seized the opporanxiously several times during the tunity, as a general exodus toward the card>room and bridge „ whist was" in progress, to say quietly: "I very much doubt whether your diamond was stolen after air!" • Although meant to reassure her, Nagel's vague remark merely sufficed to set Mrs. "Barty's" mind wandering deeply interested in the lo3s of your aunt's diamond?" "I guessed as much," replied the girl, demurely. "Then perhaps you can also divine that I should highly appreciate any Information you can give me," he said, courteously, for the girl's_evident innocence and blonde loveliness appealed to every masculine which he possessed. "I can only tell you what 1 saw with my own eyes, Mr. Nagel," she answered, meeting his gaze so frankly that Bullivant's man hoped from the bottom of his soul that she had "There Is no reason to doubt that you yourself were the last person to see and handle the stone on the eventful night when- it disappeared," he went on. coolly ignoring the signs of wonder In the lady's puffy eyes. "Rut what happened after Sir Nigel Deerlng handed the stone to you I am about to describe The diamond was a Brazilian stone. I have ascertained. Now.

Result: Your stone was blown to atoms, leaving not a trace behind! If you will examine the lining pf the case you will discover a faint stain on the plush lining. That's "But—" "Yes, yes," said Nagel, soothingly, "of course the loss is one which you hate to sustain, but your late husband undoubtedly had a guarantee from Oriffauy's, and they would or should make good the defect But even If they do not—" It was now Nagel's turn to be interrupted. "Oh. Mr. Nagel!" exclaimed Mrs, Bingham, 'it wasn't the value of the stone, though of course, one hates to lose anything so valuable. It was the thought that perhaps—" "Put all that nonsense out o f your mind. Mrs. Bingham," broke In Bull!-' vants' map almost sternly; "the suaadmire.

No one else touched it from the Jme when my aunt received It, until shejf opened the cas« before hknding if^o the maid." Percy Nagel nodded understandlngly "Very remarkable," he commented.

"There has been considerable IpssT among turkeys in Colorado this fall from black head, or what is scientifically known as Entero-hepatitis. The name black head was given because the head is supposed to turn purple when the turkey is attacked by the disease. This we have found not always to be true. The name Entero-hepatitis was given ou account of the greater diseased areas occurring in the intestines and liver. X^g, disea.se Is caused by a single celled animal parasite called Amoeba meleagridis. The germ, or protozoa, is taken into tho body through the food, or water, and becomes lodged in the mucous membrane of the caecum, or blind gut. Here it produces thickening of the wall, due to inflammation, and later, ulceration. The liver becomes Infected, and the infected areas, the liver cells, are destroyed, In a turkey dead of the disease the liver is enlarged up to more than twice its normal size. Over the surface will be noted whit- IBII or yellowish green areas. These represent the areas of dead1 tissue. Treatment.—This consists principally in preventing the spread of the disease; when a bird.has developed the disease there is no known cure. The premises should be as thoroughly cleaned as possible and all rubbish burned. Then, disinfection, as far as possible, with a five per cent, solution of carbolic acid, or creolin. Sick turkeys should be isolated and not allowed to run around and spread the germs of the disease, and thus be the cause of others becoming infected. As there is no known cure for the dis- , ease, the turkey had better be killed and the body cremated. Feed should be given in troughs, rather than thrown on the infected ground, and thus Increase the danger of infection. The watering troughs Bhould be enameled so that they can be thoroughly cleaned morning and night. An intestinal antiseptic should be gtven in the water. One teaspoonful of dilute hydrochloric acid to each quart of water, or one teaspoonful of the crystals permangnate of potash to the ten quart bucket of water, may be given. By Using Rough Perches and Painting Killer on Top and Bottom W i l l Prove Effective Cure. (By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.) We have found it much easier to destroy lice and mite3 when we use 2x4 perches. These are strong and the flat surface will hold quite a quantity of the louse killer, which is painted on the top and bottom of the perob.es every few days during the summer. This will usually destroy the lice If it is attended to regularly, but If the hen house is an old one and polluted with lice by all means spray every crack and corner with the liquid lice destroyer. The house should not be closed up tight while the fowls are in it immediately after using the lice killer, or the fumes will likely injure them. The red mites are one of the worst peBts and painting the perches with the liquid louse killer will usually* destroy them at the same time. In the day time they may be found on the under side of the perches and under boards and la all cracks- and crevices but during the night they "Come out and sap tne irrebioocT out of the fowls.

With all, the pomp,1 grace, dignity and color with which the Roman Catholic church can invest her grand occasions, the consecration of Rev. Edward D, Kelly, pastor of the church of St. Thomas the Apostle, './as held in Ann Arbor, at the altar where he has s o long officiated au pariah priest, with Cardinal Gibbons, the only A m e r i c a n - prince of the church, two archbishops, including his grace, John Ireland, of St. Fairi; 14 bishops from the foremost s e e s of the American continent, three nionslgnori of note, and over 300 priests participating in the ceremony. The scene was one worthy of the beautiful parish church in which it occurred—a monument to the untiring pawtoral labors of the priest, who Is called upou to a s s u m e the purple. The consecration sermon was delivered by Archbishop John Ireland. The consecration of a bishop is one that Michigan has not seen before within the memory of most men now living. OSBORN HAS NEW SCHEME Bclievs He Has Discovered Way to Get Rid of Recess Appointees. Gov. Osbom is preparing to shatter the validity of ex-Gov, Warner's recess appointments. The rumor that the governor was thought to have a card up his sleeve set everyone rustling to find the statutes bearing upon recess appointments and they found the following eye-opener in section 1171: "All officers appointed by tho governor during the recess of th« .legiilaturo shall continue to execute tho duties of their respective offices nntil the close of the next succeeding1 session, unless others shall be appointed in their •stead by competent authority and shall have entered uoon the discharge of their respective d u t * ies." Th~ reading of this statute is very plain. No reference is made to the confirmation of recess appointees by the state senate and it specifically states how long they shall continue to hold office. It would s e e m that the senate has nothing to do in determining the status of recess appointments, although it has always been the custom for the chief executive to send in the names of all recess appointments for- confirmation.

In one respect Tuberculosis day will differ from Tuberculosis Sunday of IStlO. Instead of requesting the emirches to give to the tuberculosis cause a special Sunday service, the national association is going to ask this year that meetings, at which the subject of tuberculosis and its prevention can be discussed, be held on Sunday, April 30, or on any other day near that date, either in the week preceding or t h e week following. "What we went," says Mr. Livingston Farrand, executive secretary of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a report on this movement, "is to have this whole subject of tuberculosis discussed in all of the 200,000 churches' of the United States at as nearly the same time as possible." - - ,/' ' I m p o r t a n t t o M o t h e r s Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a s a f e and sure remedy for infants and children, and s e e that it Bears the Signature of _ w w In U s e For O v e r 3 0 Years.

Lime is best supplied by giving the fowls access to crushed- oyster shells. Filthy milk will usually.„^lnduce bowel disease among the young chicks. ^ Never forget that poultry req;uires\ grit and lime for digesting food and forming e g g shells. It is unwise to spend money for better chickens and then give them such poor care that they cannot do well. If a mate Is not popular with the females in. his pen he should be removed and another bird substituted. Once or twice, a year a wagon load of small gravel should be hauled from sprhe^ stream for the fowls to work over. When given with care, one of thev best foods for young and growing! chicks, and the laying hens too, Is sweet milk. The maintenance of productiveness and vigor are essentials in poultry keeping, and when both can be realized the work will pay. The^ young chicks Bhould have fresh milk only, as sour milk, is suitable only for, the adults, being injurious to all kinds of young animals. Although there may not be any visible Hce or mites in your poultry house it Is a good thing to whitewash it tw> or three times a year.

One has only to wave the front hair and place the remainder ir a coil, or two, at the back of the head to make ready for the chignon. Ar range the front hair in a part or a pompadour and pin on the chignon. The puffs and curls next the head should be pulled out and made a little fluffy and then pinned down close* ly.

Powerful Weapon Brought to Bear in the ;Fig)j.t 'Aga»n«t TU|jei*- cuio»is. Just how serious a problem tuberculosis is to the average church, and in just what ways pastors are called upon to minister to those suffering from this d-sease, is the subject of an investigation which the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is conducting in connection with its plans for Tuberculosis day on April 30. Statistics are being gathered. from thousands of ministers regarding this subject, and among other figures the number of deaths last year from tuberculosis in the church congregation will be given. It is planned to place these statistics, together with other educational material, in the hands of every minister in the country for his use in connection with Tuberculosis day. Millions of circulars, and pamphlets- on the prevention of tuberculosis will also be issued, both from the national office and from the headquarters of the 450 anti-tuberculosis associations who will co-operate in the movement.

There's no rest or peace for the man or woman who has a badjback. The distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed. It's hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tie your shoes. All day the ache keeps up. Any sudden movement sends sharp twinges through the back. It is torture to stoop and straighten. At night the sufferer retires to toss and twist and grown. Backache is kidney ache—a throbbing, dull aching in the kidneys. Plasters or liniments won't do. You must get at the cause, inside.

Moore, his subject being' The Building up of a D.iiry Herd."^T-he topic was indeed a|>Jy treated. H e touched on aTTpoints of the question at hand, emphasizing the fact that first aud foremost the successful dairyrnun must have a profitable herd. In order to have this, he must exercise great care in selecting his animals. Of course the purity of their progeny depends upon the sire used in breeding. I t therefore behooves all farmers to secure a blooded sire, by so doing insur- The City Life Compared With | !he Goiinlnj Life as to its Comforts and florals. 2 i T a l k G i v e n P u t n a m a n d F a r m e r s ' By A L B R O G B e f o r e .

A record should be taken of each member of the herd at regular intervals thus ascertaining the individual merits of each cow. In this way all star boarders, or cows which are a detriment to the purity of the herd may be expelled threfrom and new ones bought in their places. I n this way a pure standard is maintained fpr one good cow is equal to forty poor ones, as far as the financial end is concerned. He believes that in many cases the cows are not propei ly cared for. A cow should not be ted too much corn, but requires rather a varied diet, which should consist of plenty of cornstalks, clover hay aud cotton seed meal. A cow in order to be properly nourished must have a certain amount of protein material. I n place of buying the expensive pie pared food products containing protein, Mr. Moore suggested that the farmers raise alfalfa hay on their farms. This crop yields from three to four tons to the acre and contains at least twelve pounds protein to each 100 pounds weight, making it not only a nourishing food product but BIBO one of the cheapest and best. The proper care of cows does not depend entirely upon the food, but also upon ventilation and water supply. King's system of ventilation is one which could be well and profitably followed. Cows should not drink from a tank of ice cold water in the winter time, as they cannot consume enough tor their proper nourishment. Summing altogether the building up of a good dairy herd depends not only upon the selection of the cows, but very much upon their proper aare and treatment nnder the hands of the dairyman. This subject waa discussed by Michael Roche, B o y Placeway and Fred Grieves, all of which were about of the same opinion as Mr. Moore, and each gave a good talk. Following this, a soprano eolo: "Moonlight and the Boae in Jnoe" snug by Grace Grieve. Miaa Grieve haa a vary pleaeing voioe and uaea it t o good advantage.

The present high cost of living is due largely to the crowded city districts and the sparcely populate 1 rural parts of our laud. Every laborer under present conditions is compelled t o feed, house and cloth Beven idlers. The cities hold one-third the inhabitants of this country, thus placing the urban population in a condition of non support. - T h e young of both sexs are rushing into the already over crowded centers, to find labor under the roof of great manufacturies there to be found, they often find the labor bnt less often do they find the comforts of home and the dear Old Farm. Glance into the east and there see the condition of the cotton nud wollen manfacturing centers where women and children have already become the burden bearers of that part of this Proud Land. Then turn your gaze to the far and sparcely populated west and there find the happy homes filled with romping happy young aud free life where mankind grows to it's full stature of manhood and womanhood. The tendency of the city is toward pleasure and easier living. That may in a measure suit the individual bat it will never build a free and enduring "Homeland".

In m a k i n g r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s relative to t a x a t i o n legislation, I d e e m it advisable to call your a t t e n t i o n to two features of our n e w S t a t e Constitution.

T h e Salt Inspector. 1 r e c o m m e n d t h a t the office of salt i n s p e c t o r be abolished. If H is cons i d e r e d ' n e c e s s a r y to continue to have done s o m e of the work of salt inspection t h a t service c a n be assigned to W-. r ' ^ > > r - '%r schooFfuruI interest. As a " t e n t a t i v e proposition for your e x a m i n a t i o n and consideration, 1 would suggest the advisability or possibility of imposing a general corp o r a t e income tax to be levied against ail corporations of the State, except railroad and other public service corporations taxed ad valorem by average rate. T h e t a x e s t h u s imposed with other specific t a x e s that mifcht properly go into the General Fund, T b c l i ' v e would n e a t l y or evor;, fully me-ei all legitimate state needs and obviate the necessity of any further r e s o r t to general taxation for state purposes, Taxation of Mortgages. The present law for the taxation of m o r t g a g e s Is a failure. Although it m a y be right in theory it cannot reasonably be 'enforced. T h e yield from it is disappointing. It. a m o u n t s practically to double taxation and places a p r e m i u m upon circumvention, conc e a l m e n t and o t h e r forms of dishonesty. T h e Michigan law is t h e same, tin g e n e r a l effect, v a r y i n g only In detail, a s t h e m o r t g a g e t a x laws of all e x c e p t t h i r t e e n of t h e o t h e r s t a t e s .

Theu 1 uoticed t h a t her bodice w a s cut low a u d revealed a auperb neck set ou a p a i r of well rounded shoulders. " W h y do you w e a r that kind of d r e s s at this time of d a y ? " 1 asked. "Because 1 h a v e n ' t auy other." "Do you live a b o u t here?" "No. I dou't Jive a n y w h e r e . I ' m t r a m p i n g . " Then she cried. Not a slip in g r a m m e r , uot au unrefined expression, escaped her. She had evideutly seen b e t t e r days. Indeed, s h e might have lived in luxury. "If you will let m e m a k e a sketch vt you." 1 said. "1 will pay you well for doing so." " W h a t will you do with t h e sketch? "Will everybody see it? 1 w o u l d n ' t j wish them tov see it at home." "1 will put it in my portfolio. I don't think any one w h o knows you will ever see it." She consented, and I made the sketch, putting in t h e colors exactly as they were. I g a v e her a good price for t h e pose, which she clutched eagerly. 1 believe s h e was hungry. While I worked I w a s t a l k i n g to her with a view to learning sometfiTng a b o u t her. B u t s h e would tell me nothing willingly, and I wm* u u a b l e to iuduce her to give me any information by artifice. At last 1 was obliged to let her go her w a y . Bat her picture—-it w a s a fine representation o f ' " F r o m Affluence to Poverty"— remained with me. gazing out a t - aae-from t h e T3U7f~ey'es7~ah u* 1 found myself constantly taking it out from a m o n g my other sketches a n d looking a t it. Indeed. I found myself unfit for work, so complete a hold had it t a k e n upon me. I slept t h a t night at a farmhouse and woke in t h e night depressed by a feeling that t h e girl w a s wandering about with no home, no money, n o t h i n g to eat a n d obliged to wear a n y t h i n g she could get to cover her. W h a t a selfish world! Why had I not taken her into my heart and provided for her w a n t s ? Then I r e m e m b e r e d t h a t there is a barrier which p r e v e n t s young men from assisting y o u n g women. As to t a k i n g her into my heart, t h a t I had done, though 1 did not realize w h a t a foothold she had gained there. One thing about her was patent. She w a s pure. No such beauty as hers need go in rags except through purity. It was this doubtless t h a t prevented my banishing her from my mind and drew7 me toward her. 1 have always had a lvablt of reading t h e personals In newspapers. I do so because I 1 lice? to have my fancy started In w e a v i n g stories that t h e few advertised words indicate. One d a y I read t h e following: I n f o r m a t i o n w a n t e d of G l a d y s S e y m o u r , t w e n t y y e a r s old. W h e n la.st s e e n sh« ! w o r e a dark blue d r e s s , c u t low necK; \ e y e s dark b r o w n ; hair t h e s a m e , w i t h a t i n g o of red In It. I saw the subject of my sketch de- - scribed in this personal. I called im- [ mediately on the advertiser a n d found a lawyer. I showed him my sketch, j a n d he showed me a photograph. They w e r e identical s a v e as to dress. T h a t of t h e photograph w a s silk, that of the sketch rags. H e told me t h a t t h e girl h a d been driven from home by the cruelty of a stepmother. She had gone vowing never to return. The stepmother had died, a n d the girl's father, who was alone, w a s anxious to find his daughter, hut had little hope of doing so. I determined to h u n t for Gladys Seymour myself. T a k i n g my sketch with me. 1 went to t h e place whpre I had m a d e it. then started in t h e direction s h e had gone when she left me. I spent n day in discovering where s h e h a d slept that night. A f a n n e r ' s wife had t a k e n her In and given her a bed a n d a supper. Having learned t h e direction she had taken the next morning. I went on mid trurked her in a direct line to a little town, where I lost her. But, s h o w i n g my sketch and making inquiries. I traced her to a store, where she had been given work behind t h e counter. T h e r e 1 found h « \ though in a b e t t e r costume than t h a t in which 1 had met her. I don't know which w;is more affected by the news I gave her. I at telling It o r she at learning it. She went at once to h e r employer to gay that she would like to go to her home, and he excused her from remaining. I furnished h«r with the means to got there—not ^ charity, but ns a loan. Gladys Seymour did not remain at home long with her father, for 1 stepped In and took her away from him. There was • n bone of contention between me and my wife for a long white. She wished the sketch I had made of her when she was tramplaf destroyed. I loved it and wished to keep it. But t h e peried was so painful to her that I finally consented to b u n t h e picture.

(By C. A. O'COCK.) The average dairyman of 20 years *go gave the sanitary floor' or stall little consideration in the construction of his cow stables, and used any method of building which/ best suited bis Individual ideas. He cared little about the condition of the cow at milking time so long as she gave the milk. The most of the old dairy barns are so arranged that it is impossible to keep cows clean in them. The floors now commonly found are dirt, wood, either block or plank, brick, stone, and in some cases concrete. Dirt of course Is very undesirable since it affords an excellent harbor for bacteria, insects and vermin. In order to maintain a sanitary stable such floors must be eliminated. Wooden floors are about as undesirable as those made of dirt, but when care is exerted may be so constructed as to be fairly satisfactory. Brick or concrete are the only floors one can safely say are sanitary. Brick should be laid upon a good subbase and if this is not a good Arm foundation it should be well tamped before laying the brick.' The brick floor having , Ijeen completed, the In making a cottaoefe floor be sure that a substantial sub-base is secured. Upon this spread three inches of mixed concrete, consisting of one part cement, 2½ parts clean, coarse sand, and 5 partB broken stone or clean gravel spread in one continuous layer. Unless there is to be excessive wear no finishing coat is needed. If siich a coat seems desirable in the driveways it should be mixed 1 part cement and 2 parts sand. The finished coat should be about three-fourths of an inch thick and laid off in 4-inch squares, the grooves about one-fourth inch deep. Finish a floor in this way And horses pulling a load will not slip and fall. ,*- gtall mats should be constructed of seven-eighths inch lumber and so placed in the stall that they may be removed frequently to facilitate in cleansing''the stall, since it is quite, •BBSS***** Young1 Aj Young age pensfeasl Wljy not?

"A dog is an animal with four legj, a tale and pants but he never changes them. He wags his tale when he is glad and sits on it when he is sorry. A dog is a useful animule because he bites burglars but he is more trouble than he is worth when b e tracks mud on the carpet. A bulldog is the king of beests." t_ A Bounding Name.

On the steeple of an old Universali s ! church in Bath, Me,, there is a wooden figure of an-angel. It is not a remarkably fine specimen of art, and has always been somewhat laughed about, especially because of its highheeled shoes. The Bath Enquirer recalls the story that a former pastor of the North Congregational church once accosted a devoted Unlversalist with the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you ever see an angel with high-heeled shoes on its feet?" "Why* no," answered Mr. Raymond, "I can't say that I ever did; but did you ever see one without them?" COMING HIS WAY. WipvTQimnrr S3S "What luck, my boy?"

Rose in the Newark Star tells the story of a youog minister who bad recently taken chargp of a small parish in Vermont, 'lie aspired to greater things and a large field, and in the hope that his reputation would travel beyond the limits ©i the village to* which he had been sent he threw into his sermons all the force and eloquence a\ his command. He was, however, totally unprepared for what was intended for a compliment, but which was put to him in such a way that it left him in doubt as to the real impression ho had made. One Sunday morning, after an especially brilliant, effort, he was greeted by an old lady, who was^one'of the most faithful attendants at all services. Approaching the young minister, she said: "Ah, sir, we do ^njoy your sermons so much, they a>e so instructive. Do you believe it, we never knew what sin was until you came to the parish." GOT HIS SOBRIQUET EARLY "Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right to the Title Long Before Manhood. There have been many stories about the manner in which "Honest John" Kelly, the ex-umpire, first ^ot his n i c k - name. Mr. Kelly himself, according to a New York letter, holds that it canu1 to him naturally, for even as a small boy the purity of his soul shone through his face. "1 think the first time I was ever called 'Honest John' was when I was quite a youngstej," , said Kelly. "A man engaged a s |jtf— ambulatory salesman of tinware oh* ;" served the itfgenuqus countenance 1 presented to tne world and hailed sae. You look honest, boy,' said he. 'What might your name be?'

T h e lion is t b e king of beasts, but all of his magnificent s t r e n g t h and ferocity would avail him nothing when he faced a mere ant. But this a n t is not t h e usual kind which peacefully goes a b o u t its domestic duties d a y by day. It is the terrible driver or soldier ant, said to be t h e most invincible ' c r e a t u r e in the world.

After a conference between Governor Warner, Attorney General Kuhn, Secretary of State Martbadale, l>and Commissioner RusBell and State Treasurer Sleeper, the three latter comprising the state board of auditors, It was decided that the bills of Attorneys Barkworth of Jackson, and Ktrchner of Detroit, amounting to $26,- 000 each, for services rendered tho state in tho famous Michigan Central tax and charter cases, should not be paid. It was known that the hoard of auditors were not in favor of paying tho claims, but the attitude of the governor and attorney general was not known until the conference.

Purpose is the very soul of existence. There is little need that wo press this fact home. The average man grasps its truth instantly. As we stand upon the threshold of the New Year, however, we do well to consider a certain phase of Its meaning - t h a t which applies to the things that are new. We naturally like what is new. There is a certain charm about variety. When life presses strongly upon us with its burden of responsibility and its pressure of care there i3 ever the temptation to throw off the old and take care of the new. We respectfully suggest that the problems of life cannot be solved by some patent process; old responsibilities cannot be shaken off by the adoption of fantastic theories of religion and morals, there are no short cuts to truth. With this In mind, what shall be the truest nttltude of the thoughtful man toward the possible variety of the , N e w Year. T m e , It may be a variety closely resembling that of a year ago; the c o m m o n p l a c e n e s s of life's experiences is only too apparent. To twin without effort is a m i s n o m e r ; to attain without sacrifice Is to eliminate Joy; to look for an easy path is to prove the worthloaanesa of ***h a life's attainment*, fio, in view*of these suggestions, what Bhall b« our attitude toward the New Year and its purpose? Let there be joy in work, moderation in pleasure, faithfulness in friendship, energy in service, loyalty to truth, openmimiedness iu research, openheartedness to all men. May we abhor only that which is superficial and hypocritical, and prove our candor and frankness by living above the thought of more profit. Furthermore, let there be "honor (o whom honor in due, custom to whom custom, fedr to whom fear." Courtesy rises supremely higher than obsequiousness, of course; the former is gentle and self-respecting, the latter is servile and self-condemning. Invest the mind with noble possibilities and the heart with holy aspirations, be charitable, sympathetic, cheerful, strong-hearted, fearless, free and undeflled. Let those about you know that these old truths have boeii found of you full of new meaning and interest, and them can be little doubt but you will do much toward the betterment of your kind. The world stands in need of men who possess poise of character, balance of soul and vision of usefulness. Morality teaches us that it is better lo be true than false, pure than licentious, jrave than cowardly. Spirituality does better than this, for it keeps men unsound by persecution, undaunted by opposition, uncomplaining in the presence; of hardship, hopeful for the future, bearing reproof and criticism thankfully, and above all headed toward the right coal. ?J/ .'

In reapouae to a query for plaiu for u moderate-priced house to accunimodate 26 brooding suwa aud the usual complement uf yiKa, the Country Lrcuileuiun publishth the folluwln «: For the brood sowb it la beat t-i have tepurate coti? like those described by PjoteHHor Shaw of the Michigan Fig. 1 — Movable Cot for Brood Sow. Station, from whoae bulletin on the subject the following engravings are made. Sows and pigrt should be kept uway from the main or winter pen as much ua possible. The sow should have plenty of exercise, plenty of green and succulent food, and access to the ground. These cots offer ideal summer conditions botli to HOW and litter. Fig. X is « good cot for a sow that Is ubout to farrow, .since she cannot lie down close to the sides und thus overlie the young pigs. A cot like that tihown iu Fig. 2, however, gives better ventilation and is preferable in very "hot weather. ThiB is built tixS, with vertical sides 3 feet high, with board roof, half pitch. The center boards on the sides are hung on hinges to open in hot weather. Note also 'lie simple way of ventilating at rather than in a molut hollow. Next, sufficient yardage, which you *ay you have, should be available. Large lots, where aucculent food can bu grown, are to be preferred to small exercise pens, which cannot be kept healthful in a warm clluaute. The pig should naturally be fattened in the lute fall, and none carried over but the breed ing stock. Experiments beyond uum ber have shown that it is not profit ablu to feed either old or heavy hogs. The rule ought to be tu have elghtrnonths- old pigs weigh at least 200 pounda and tit for slaughter. Such plga ought never to s e e tho Inside ot a costly permanent pen, but ought to go to tho slaughter house directly from the lots and the cots. Use c e m e n t floors with overlays for the piga to lie on. The drawing BhowH this clearly; tho overlay being hinged to the side of the pen, so that it may be raised up und the lloor beneath pruperly cleaned. Note also that it Is in the cornel- of the pen and away from the feeding trough. It Is bedded with fresh bedding once a week. T h e Fig, 2—A Six-by-Elght Cot. the highest point of tho roof, Cover the openings in the sides with woven wire. Such'a cot contains 1G0 feet of stock lumber, UO feet of matched stuff, UO feet 4 by ty 12 feet 4 by 4, 44 feet 2 by A, and ought to be made by a carpenter in a couple of days, A floor can be made for it if desired for winter quarters, using two-inch stuff cut In lengths to rest on the skids, which are wider than the sills, Do not fasten the sills to tho skids, as the latter are the first to rot. Where tho pigs do not come late in the fall or too early in the spring, it is better to use such a cot as the permanent home of the sow, keeping her there during the winter and compelling plenty of exercise by putting her food at a considerable distance from the cot, and not using too much bedding, but enough to keep her warm and comfortable. Such cots are used also for fattening pigs. A movable hog cot is better in most cases than a permanent pen, as it keeps the pigs away from any central place, which Is sure to become permanently contaminated, muddy in wet weather, dusty in dry, and dirty all the time. If a permanent, hog-house is to be built, it should be located on a knoll The Arrangement of the Pen. overlay here described is made from inch lumber, with inch cleats below to hold the hoards together. A 2 by 4 surrounds the affair to hold the bedding in place, nailed to the boardB and reinforced by a triangular piece of scantling nailed to the 2 by 4 and to the floor. It is not necessary to go into details in the description of the pens. The cut shows how the 10 by 14 pen is arranged, with swing door at one corner, lifted by a rope leading to the front of the pen; abundant windows and ventilation; the widening out of tho door frame to prevent tho pigs from getting their noses under th(> door when closed; the feeding trough, with swinging door over it, to keep back the hogs when feeding, and par- Tin* t«cU>o„ tryikfes & pint of cough Byriip—4noM*li M> last a. family a laug limit You couldn't bui'Stt fuuoli or a* gootl rough s)irup fur |2iW>.

ENGLISH BREED OF DORKING "I have been afflicted for twonty years with an oh::tinHe skin dij called by s o m e M.

For the last three years 1 havo been unable to do any labor, and Buffering intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dustpanful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the hitler part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried everything, almost, that could b e thought of, without any relief. The 12th of Juno 1 started West, in hopes I could reach tho Hot Sprlags. 1 reached Detroit and was v,o low I thought 1 should have to go t o & * hospital, but finally got as far aa Lansing, Mich., where I had a sister tffing. One Dr. treated me about two weeks, but did me no good. All thought I had but a Bhort time to live. I earnestly prayed to die.

O my God! how I did suffer. "My sister wouldn't give up; said, 'We will try Cutlcura.' Some w a s applied to one band and arm.

Looks Like War in Beet Industry. The first steps towards an organized effort to secure a higher price for sugar beets from the Michigan sugar factories were taken w h e n the Michi- Kan Sugar Beet Growers' association was formed by growers from Shiawassee. Tuscola, Saginaw, Lapeer, Genenee, Gratiot, Isabella and Bay counties. The territory included in these counties covers the acreage of all the sugar factories in eastern Michigan, including Owosso, but not I.>ansing. The growers will demand $t>.60 per ton for beets testing 12 per cent, sugar and 40 cents for each additional one per cent. of sugar content, as against $4.50 and S3 1-3 c e n t s , the universal price in Michigan. H e r m a n Horton of Bay county, w a s evicted president; 3. N. McHride. Shiaw a s s e e , and George Ridgeman, Tuscola, vice-presidents; M. S. Habcock, Hay, secretary, and E. B. Cook, ShiawaSBee, treasurer. E. F. Tyrell of Detroit, field manager of the Gleaners' Go-operative union, appears to have been the man who w a s behind the organizing move. l i e told the farmers that he had Interviewed General Manager Wallace of the Michigan Sugar company, which controls six factories out of the 1C in the state, and that the latter had declared the sugar plants would shut down before any increase asked was granted.

Succeeding reports will covwr t a e ssoue fiscal year. According to the 181.0 report, state reward was paid on approximately 187 m i l e s of road, about equally divided between stone, macadam and gravel. During the aanie length of time t h e department received application* for reward for 392 miles of road. From the organisation of the department to the beginning of the last fiscal year, 341.09 miles of state reward road were built, f 2M,12G paid and a total of $201,130.75 reward money w a s still pending. I^aat year 2Q4J378 miles wert; constructed and $137,327 paid In rewards. Meridian w a s the only townbhip in Ingham county building state reward roads Last year. The township expended |2.079JJ3 for 1,160 tulle* and received a reward of |&80 from the state. One of the principal features of the report which la filled with interesting tables, is the table which tmowe just exactly what each township did in state reward road construction last season, as well as the money expended and received. Since the state reward l a w became effective, Ingham county has built 6.1G0 mlleB of state reward m a d s and received $3,580 from the state. l o o s i n g township received $2,500 In reward money. T h e heavy work of preparing the work w a s performed by Chief Clerk Randall and road experts w h o have Inspected the report, declare it IB by far1 the most valuable publication the department has given out.

"The American Associated i Fair association is made up of r e p r e s e n t s t l v e a of 33 state boards," said Mr. ' H a n n a n . "We get together every year to e x c h a n g e ideas and get pointers. Last, year State Railway Commissioner George W.

The secretaries of the N e w York and Indiana fairs were s o pleased with the •way w a received and shipped out goods til at. they have promised to send on their live stock exhibits again n e x t year.

The most discussed topic in the s t a t e h o u s e Is the bills of Otto Kirschner. attorney from Detroit, and T h o m a s K. Barkworth, attorney from Jackson, for $25,000 each for lc^al s e r v i c e s in connection with the celebrated railroad charter and tax causes. TheBe t w o bills are supposed to be the last p a y m e n t to the two attorneys for their s e r v i c e s in connection with the two c a s e s . W h e n the bills were presented to the s t a t e board of auditors the members s a t up and took notice. lor they were ill-prepared to meet BUCII an obligation with a depleted treasury, and there arc many important questions involved in the s e t t l e m e n t of these bills. Secretary of State Martindale and Land Commissioner Russell, two of three members of the Btate board of auditor*, think the bills are exorbitant, and say they will oppose payment. Accordiug to the record on hie in the auditors' department, on April 27. 1904, at a meeting of the state board of auditors, which at that time wan composed of Secretary of State Fred M. Warner, State Treasurer l>aniel McCoy and State iJind Commissioner Edwin A.

The matter of submitting the question ot local option In Montmorency county at the spring election was brought before Judge Knieiick in circuit court at l i i l l m a n . Attorney Kltuei K. Smith represented 1 he board ot supervisors and Pliny Marsh the local optionists. The board of supervisors refused to submit the proposition at the October meeting, holding that of ;'L'S n a m e s signed to said petition 4.". had asked to have their names withdrawn, leaving an insufficient number ot petitioner-. It required 2SS tor the n e c e s s a r y number. Mandamus proceedings were started by T. K. h e w i s . of iiiltman. An order to s h o w cause w a s issued by Judge Kmerick and on hearing today the court issued a writ compelling the board to reconvene and submit the question of local option to the electors. It is generally believed that local option will carry at the spring election. 21 Soo Safoonists to Be Arrested. As the result of an investigation made by secret service officers of the Indian bureau it is alleged that -I of the 24 liquor dealers in Satilt rite, Marie1 will be arrested on a charge of selling liquor to Indians. Al least feur agents of tin; bureau have been investigating local conditions during the past few weeks, each of them remaining from ."J to 15 days. Accompanying the agent would lie two Indians who would make t h e purchases, und a bottle of liquor would be bought which was afterward? labeled wth the name of the sclier, dale o! purchase and conversation at the time, The evidence is said to be conclusive and as a result the dealers are awaiting the blow that they know must soon fall, and wondering 'who the lucky three are, "fen -m.-- * u » -jr • * < » mm DNEPBIT r^Denelictf U) Condensed Milk for Ice Cream. "The use of condensed milk Is a recent innovation In ice c r e a m manufacture," said President J. F. Kelley of Grand Rapids In his address before, the Michigan Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers. "There in nothing more sanitary than the manufacture of condensed milk, and now about 75 per cent, of the ice cream In the United States is largely composed of condensed milk. Condensed milk m a k e s a dryer cream, which docs not become coarse grained. T h e use of condensed milk is not to cheapen the manufacture, but rather to improve the grado of the product." In order that tbey may have tne same a d v a n t a g e s given in other Mates. a c o m m i t t e e composed of William Parks of Benton Harbor, J. J. McDonald of Owonso and Harry Q«cr of Cadillac w a s appointed for the purpose of m e e t i n g the railroad c o m m i s s i o n February 15 to request that the express rate on ice cream be lowered. The subject of homogenized raw material was discussed at s o m e length. The idea is a new one In this country and is simply a method of laying in a supply of butter fat w h e n it is cheap, for use during the months w h e n s w r e t cream and butter are harder to secure. The me-thod is to churn the cream and mako what is known as "sweet" butter— that is, butter without salt—and w h e n the butter fat is needed this is very finely divided and m i x e d with s w e e t milk, making a composition very much like the original cream, but. w h i c h cannot be gathered into butter again.

A "Weekly" printer] some criticisms of the claims made for our foods. It. evidently did not. fancy our reply printed in various newspapers, and brought snlt for libel. At the trial some interesting facts c a m e out. Some of the chemical and medical experts differed widely. The following farts, however, were quite clearly established: Analysis of brain by an unquestionable authority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts, Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phosphate, of Potash), 2.91 per cent, of the total, 5.23 of all Mineral Salts. This is over cme-half. Beniinis, another authority, shows "Phonphnrlc Acid combined" and Potash 7?..44 per cent from a total of 101.07. Considerable, more than one-half of Phosphate of Potash. Analysis of Grape-Nuts s h o w s : Potassium and Phosphorus, (which join and make Phosphate of p o t a s h ) . Is considerable more than one-half of All the mineral salts in the food. Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on the constituent elements of the body, says; "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirety by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate' 'Phosphate of Potash). ThJ» salt unrtea with '«• *4bu«a*n and by the addition of ox y gam cerates nerve fluid or the gray matter ot the brain. Ot course, there i s a.trade of other salts and other organic matter in nervp fluid, but Potassium Pho8pn»ts) te t h e chief factor, and has the power wttfcu* Maelf to attract, by IU o w » ; law of nffinity, all things needed to manufac tore the elixir of life." Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly aR nature furnishes it In vegetables, fruits and grain. T o supply dcfklcnciea—this is the only law of euro." The natural conclusion Is that, if Phosphntn of Potash is the needed mineral c l e m e n t In brain and you use fond which does not, contain It, you have brain fag because its dally l o s s Is not supplied. On the contrary, If you eat food known to be rich in this element, yon place before the life forres that, which nature demands for brain-building. In the trial a wneer w a s uttered because "Mr. Post announced that he had made years of research in this country and s o m * clinics of Europe, regarding the effect of tho mind on digestion of food.

We waited lineasil. for s o m e minutes, and Hotch- brf-n ropeatnd. place was full of feminine trifles that made ua feel the weakness of our position. Some such instinct made Me- Knight suggest division. "We look like an Invading army," he said. "If she's here alone, we will startle her into a spasm. One of us could take a look around and—" "What was that? Didn't you hear something?" The sound, whatever it had been, was not repeated. We went awkwardly out Into the lmII, very uncomfortable, all of us, and Hipped a coin. The choice fell on 2110, which was right enough, for the affair was mine, primarily. "Wait just inside the door," I directed, "and if Sullivan comes, or anybody that answers his description, grab hiin without ceremony and ask him questions afterwards." The apartment, save in the hallway, waa unllghted. By one of those freaka of arrangement possible only In the modern fiat, I found the kitchen first, and waa struck a Bmart and unexpected blow by a swinging door. I carried a handful of matches, s n i ay the time I had passed through a butler's pantry and a refrigerator room I waa completely lost in the darkaess. Until then the situation had been merely uncomfortable; suddenly it became grisly. From somewhere near came a long-sustained groan, followed almost Instantly by the crash of something— glass or china—on the floor. I struck a fresh match, and found myself in a narrow rear hallway. Behind me was the door by which I must have come; with a keen desire to got back to the place I had started from, I opened the door and attempted to cross the room. I thought I had kept my sense of direction, but I crashed without warning into what, from the resulting jangle, was the dining table, probably laid for dinner, I cursed my stupidity in getting into such a situation, and 1 cursed my nerves for making my hand shake when i tried to strike a match. The groan had not. las l l k e d at his w «t K This ear. atch. Then ht "C*°_1 gracious!" he exclaimed, hhs ^'head*;Cir5(f.rt o n n n p wide, "I believe it topped. I'm afraid we arc lute." tf* were late. My watch and Hotch agreed at nine c'alock, and, with discovery that our man might come and gone, our zest, in the *W>ture began to flag. MeKnight oned us away from the door anil the bell. There was no response, no sound within. He rang It twice, the last time long and vigorously, without result. Then he turned andlooked at us. "1 don't half like this," ho said. T h a t woman is in; you heard me ask he elevator boy. For two I had seem It when he did. Ttat )r waa ajar about an inch, and a JW wedge of rose-colored light >wed beyond. Then, with both mea my heels, 1 stepped into the priv corridor of the apartment and fed around. It was a square r e tlon hail, with hata, and a couple chairs, tc taltBrtr of rose-colored fast aad a desk light over a writing le across aiade the room bright and Sbeerful. It was empty. V Q M *f us wars comfortable, The 1 braced myself against, the table and struck the match sharply against, the sole nf my shoe. It flickered faintly and went nut. And I hen, with nut. the slightest warning, another di: h went off the tabic, It fell with a llmnsnnd splint* rings; the very air seemed broken into crashing waves nf sound. 1 stood still, braced against the table, holding the red end nf the dying match, and listened. I had not long to wait; the groan came again, and I recognized it, the ery of a do.g in straits. I breathed again. "Come, old fellow," I said. "Come on, old man. Let's have a look at you." I could hear tho thud of his tail on centsj the floor, hut ho did not move. He only whimpered. There is something companionable in the presence of a dog. .and I fancied this dog in trouble. Slowly 1 began to work my way around the table toward him. "Good boy," I Haid.as he whimpered. "Wmli tod the light, which ought to here or other around here, bearing ths dog pad softly toward me around the table. I recall even that I had put the matches down aad could not find them.

And when, after aeonti of search, 1 round a knob ami stumbled iuto thu reception ha.ll, 1 was as nearly in a panic an any man could be. I was myself again lu a second, and by the light from the hall I led the way back to the tragedy I had stumbled on. Uronuon still sat at the table, his elbows propped on it, bis cigarette still lighted, burning a holts in the cloth. Partly under the tuble lay Mrs. Conway, face down. The dog stood over her and wagged hits tall. MeKnight pointed silently to a large copper ash tray, filled with usliea ami charred blta of paper. "The uotes, probably," he said ruefully. "He got them after all, and burned them before her. It was more thau she could stand. Stabbed him first and then herself." Ilotchkiss got up and took off his hat. "They are dead," he announced solenmly, and took his notebook out of his hatband. MeKnight and I did the only thing wo could think of drove Hutchkiss and the dog out of the room, and closed and locked the door. "It's a matter for the police," MeKnight asserted. "I suppose you've got, an officer tied to you somewhere, Lawrence? You usually have." We loft HotcbklsB in charge and went downstairs. It was MeKnight who first saw Johnson, leaning against a park railing across the street, and called him over. We told him in a few words what we had found, and he grinned at me cheerfully. "After awhile, in a few weeks or months, Mr. Ulakeley," he said, "when you get tired of monkeying around with the blood-stain and finger-print specialist upstairs, you come to me. I've had that fellow you want under surveillance for ten days!" CHAPTER XXX. Finer Details. At ten minutes before two the following day, Monday, 1 arrived at my office. I had spent the morning puting my affairs in shape, and in a trip to the stable. The afternoon would see me either a free man or a prisoner for an indefinite length of time, and, in spite of Johnson's promise to produce Sullivan, I was more prepared for the latter than the former. Blobs was watching for me outside the door, and it was clear that he was in a state of excitement bordering on delirium. He did nothing, however, save to tip me a wink that meant "As man to man, I'm for you.1' I was too much engrossed either to reprove him or to return the courtesy, but I heard him follow me down the hall to the small room where we kept outgrown law books, typewriter supplies arm, incidentally, our wraps. I was wondering vaguely if I would ever hang my hat on its nail again, when the door closed behind me. It shut firmly, without any particular amount of sound, and I was left in the dark. I groped my . way to It, irritably, to And it locked on the outside. I shook it frantically, and waa rewarded by a sibilant whisper through the keyhole. "Keep quiet," Blobs was saying kuskily. "You're in deadly peril. Tho police are waiting in your office, three •f 'em. I'm goin' to lock the whole bunch in and throw the key out of the window." "Come back here, you imp of Satan!" I called furiously, but I could hear him speeding down the corridor, and the slam of the outer office door by which he always announced his presence. And so I stood there in the ridiculous cupboard, hot with the heat of a steaming September day, musty with the smell of old leather bindings, littered with broken overshoes and handleless umbrellas. I was apoplectic with rage one minute, and choked with laughter the next. It seemed an hour hefore Rloba came back. He came without haste, strutting with new dignity, and passed outside my prison dnor. ' Well, I guess that will hold them for a while," ho remarked comfortably., and proceeded to turn the key. "I've got. 'em fastened up like sardines In a can!" he explained, working with !he lock, "(lee whiz! you'd might to ' hear Vni!" When h^ got hi:; breath i after tlic shaking I gave him, he be- 1 g,vn to sputter. "How'd I km lm t attsmbled over something, and 1 dfww b#ek my root almost instantly. "Did 1 Mtp on yon. old manr* 1 exc l n l s l l l —d bent to pat him. I rea e t j j ^ f l f e i t f a t a f i U g soddaaly and demanded sulkily.

"iiown the elevator shaft." There was a gW.m of indignant, satisfaction through his tears of rage and humiliation. And so, while he hunted the key In the debris at the bottom of the shaft, I quieted his prisoners with the assurance that the lock had slipped, and that they would be free as lords as soon as we could Had the janKor with a pass-key. StnMrt went down finally and discovered Blobs, with the key In his pocket, Ulllag the engineer how he had tried to ea*e me from arrest and failed. .**>•» fttuart came up he was almost shssifui but Blobs did nut appear agata that day. 8lmultan«s*M with the finding ol t>.e key c a l l sUlufcldsa, aad we went In together. T Cheek hands with two men who, wJtft fttftfiklttk made a not '*•*•' :.i , • < H - • very animated group. The taller one, an oldish man, lean- and hard, announced his errand at once. "A Pittsburg warrant?" 1 Inquired, unlocking my' cigar 'drawer. "Yes. Allegheny county haa oa» wumed jurisdiction, the exact locality where the crime was committed belug in d o u b t " He seemed to be the spokesman. The other, shorter and rotund, kept an amiable silence. "We bppe you will see the wisdom of waiving extradition," be went on. "It will save tin"e." "I'll iHjme, of course," I agreed. "The sooner the better. But I want you to give me an hour here, gentlemen. 1 think we can interest you. Have a cigar?" The lean man took a cigar; the rotund man took ihrce, putting two in bis pocket. ' Huw about the catch of that door?" he inquired Jovially. "Any danger of It gulag oh" again?" Heally, considering tho circumstances, they were remarkably cheerful. Hotchkisu, bowever, was uot. He paced the floor uneasily, his hand's under his cuat-talls. The arrival of MeKnight created i diversion; he carried a long package and a corkscrew, and shook hands with the police and opened the bottle with a single gesture. "1 always want something to cheer on these uccasiuiaa," he said. "Where's the water, Hhikeley? Everybody ready?" Then in French he tuasted the two detectives. "To your eternal discoinnture," be said, bowing ceremoniously. "May you go home aud never come back! If yuu take Monsieur lilakeley with yuu, I hope you choke." The lean man nodded gravely. "Prosit," he said, liut the fat one leaned back and laughed consumedly. Hutchkiss finished a mental synopsis of his position, and put down his glows. •'Gentlemen," he said pompously, "within live minutes the man you want will be here, a murderer caught In a net of evidence so hue that a mosquito could not get through." The detectives glanced at each other solemnly. Had they not in their possession a sealskin bag containing a wallet and a bit of gold chain, which by putting the crime on me, would leave a gap big enough for Sullivan himself to crawl through? "Why don't you say your little speech before Johnson brings the other man, Lawrence?" MeKnight inquired. "They won't believe you, but it will help them to understand what is coming." "You understand, of course," the lean man put in gravely, "that what you say may be used against you." "I'll take the risk," I answered impatiently. It took some time to tell the story cf my worse than useless trip to Plttshnirg, and its sequel. They listened gravely, without interruption. "Mr. Hotchkiss here," I finished, believes that the man Sullivan, whom we are momentarily expecting, committed the crime. Mr, .MeKnight ls inclined to implicate Mrs. Conway, who stabbed Hronson and then herself last night. As for myself, I am open to conviction." "I hope not," said the stout detective quizzically. And then Alison was announced. My impulse to go out aud meet her was forestalled by tho dttectives, who rose when I did. Me- Knight, therefore, brought her in, and I met her at the door. "1 have put you to a great deal of tTOiible," I said contritely, when I saw hev glance around the room. "I wish 1 had not—" "It is only right that 1 should come," rhe replied, looking up at me. "I am the unconscious cause of most of It, I am afraid. Mrs. Dallas is going to wait in the outer office." t presented HotchklBs and the two detectives, who eyed her with Interest. In her poise, her beauty, even in her gown, 1 fancy she represented a new type to them. They remained standing until she sat down. "I have brought the necklace." she began, holding out a white-wrapped box, "as you asked me to." ! passed if, unopened, to tho detectives. "The necklace from which waa broken the fragment you found in tho sealskin hag," I explained. "Miss West found It nn the floor of the car. near lower ten." (TO UK ."(INTTNTKIU Knowledge Of the World.

Fire Marshal Jame3 Iloran and 28 firemen were killed in a lire which caused ¢1,250,000 damage to the warehouse and stock of Morris & Co., packers, and for hours threatened the whole stockyards district. The injured will number more than TO, listing being difficult because they were rushed in ambulances and private automobiles to hospitals and homes in many sections of the city. The fire had been hedged in and its spread checked, but efforts to save any of the buildings originally attacked by the llames are vain. An overhanging wooden canopy fell from the beef house of Morris & Co., where the fire sta.ted, carrying with it tons of red-hot bricks and debris upon two companies of firemen aud the chief, crushing them to death aud encasim; their bodies in a veritable furnace, into which their comrades were unable to dig for several hours. Nearly all those who were not killed outright when the walls fell were roasted to death before help could reach them. Assistant Chief Wm. TUirroughs and .Lieut. Fitzgerald were with the marshal under the canopy when it fell, receiving .specific orders for directing I he fight against the ever-spreading flumes in other quarters and they went down to their death wtli Marshal iloran. Other firemen, witnesses of the fate of their chief, deserted f o r j | brief time other parts of the blazing sfructurr and sought with the'r bare hands to drag apart the glowtfig bricks and debris which eoveref! the body of their chief anil his companions. Finding this a vail effort they obeyed again tho direction of Assistant Marshal .Seyierlich and redoubled their efforts to ah it in the spreading area of Maine. Bursting Pipe Starts Fire. The flre was first discovered at about 4 o'clt k by a watchman in the Morris & Co. beef house at Fortythird and l,oomls streets. An ammonia pipe, bursting, started spontaneous rornbustion that spread so quickly tho watchman barely had turned in the fire alarm hefore the flames l>«gan bursting from the building. Fir« Marshal Horan at his home on the west side heard the second call for fire apparatus ar#1 hurried to the stockyards In his motor. Hy the time of his arrival hi* assistants who had reached the scene earlier had abandoned the effort to »»•«» the beef houses and were endeaVoring to head off the rush of fire loward other buildings. Flames were I»ouring out of several structures r.earby when the marshal arrived and the* inferno was blistering the hand* and. faces of the pipemen and laddermen who were sticking to their positions under the <T.couragenunt of commanders who themselves were burned and blistered. The shelter of the awning which later became the destroyer of a score of lives was sought by firemen, led by Horan, burroughs and Fitzgerald.

But the voters were much excitwl over the question and seemed to think that every candidate should be able to discuss the problem from A to Izzard. So this German and his campaign manager invented a successful subterfuge. When the German got up at the meetings to tulk he would say: "Now, shentlemeu. 1 vlll taLk mit you about der tariff.

"During sleep." says an authority on mental subjects, "the workings of the mind are under no control, and yet it seems to have a wonderful faculty of building up and arranging scenes and incidents. I remember once having a vivid dream of going into a house the furniture and inmates of which belonged to the middle ages. So clear was the dream that 1 had no dilhculty in recalling it. and then aa i went over each detail of dress, armor, jewelry, ornaments and other objects Recti in my vision I realized that every thing I had beheld w a s historically accurate—that is to say. that probably In a fraction of a .second my mind had conjured up a scene to construct which, with the same faithfulness to detail, while awake would have taken me several hours."

And then, without the slightest warning, 1 realized that she v a s crying. She shook off my hand a n d fumbled for her handkerchief, a n d failing to find it, she accepted the one I thrust into her wet fingers. Then, little by little, she told me from the handkerchief, a sordid story of a motor trip -in t h e mountains witho u t Mrs. Curtis, of a lost road and a broken car, and a rainy night when they—she and Sullivan, tramped eternally and dh* not get home. And of Mrs. Curtis, when they got home at -dawh, suddenly grown conventional a n d , deeply shocked.

I may for- ,- g e t that 1 have a capital charge hang-. •- l a g over my head, and that I may be • arrested at any moment." That brought her out of the hand- ' fceicaief at once.

Alison turned and called through | faint aroma of good tobacco. I vyas her hands. "Coming in- a moment, Sam," she said, and rose. "It must btvery late: Sam is home. We would better go back to the house." "Don't," I begged her. "Anchovies and juleps and Sam will go on forever, and I have you such a little lime. I suppose I am only one of a dozen or so, but—you a r e the only girl in the world. You know 1 love you, don't you dear?" Sam was whistling, an irritating bird call, over and over. She pursed her red lips and answered him in kind. It was more than 1 could endure. "Sam or no Sam," 1 said firmly, "I am gOinf? to kiss you!1' Hut Sam's voice came strident through the megaphone. "He good, you two," lie bellowed, "I've got Ihe binoculars!"' Aadyfto, under fire, we walked sedately back to the house. My pulses were throbbing—the little swish of her dress beside me on the grass was pai» and ecstasy. I had but to put out my hawj t o touch her, and I dared not. Sam, armed wjttb a megaphone and fleld glasses, bent ofcwfr the; rail and watched us with gleeful malignity. "Home early, aren't youjfc Alison •called, when ws veacfVed Ibe stepa. "Led a duh when my partner had doubled no-trumps', and she fainted. Damn the heart conTentis*!" he said cheerfully. "The other* a*e not here yet." Three Isours later I went up to bed. T had not seen Alison alone again. The noise waa at its height below, and I glanced «4own into the garden, still bright in the moonlight. Leaning against a tree, and staring Latwrestedly into the billiard room, was Johnson. '$••• ife CHAPTER XXWC In the Dining Room. That, was Satnrday night, two weeks after the wreck. The prevfous five days had been full of swfcft-following J events—the woman in the house next door, the picture in t h e theater of a man about to leap from the doomed i train, the dinner at t h e Dallaes, and Richey's discovery that Alison "was thoroughly tired, hut I slept restlessly, dreaming of two detectives* with Pittsburg warrants being held up by Hotchkiss at the point of a splint, while Alison fastened their hands with a chain that was broken and much too short. I was roused about dawn by a light rap at the door, and, opening it, I found Forbes, in a pair of trousers and a pajama coat. *U waa as pleasant a s most fleshy people a r e when they have to get up at night, and he said the telephone had been ringing for an hour, and he didn't know why somebody else in the blankety- blank house couldn't have heard it. He wo\ildn't get to sleep until noon. As he was palpably asleep on his feet, I left him grumbling and went to the telephone. It proved to be Hichey, who had found me by the simple expedient of tracing Alison, and he was jubilant, "You'll have ta come back," he said. "Got a railroad schednle there?" "I don't sleep with one in my pocket," I retroted, "hot if you'll hold the line I'll catyjsut the window to Johnson.'" H e ' s probably got one." . y' "Johnson!" I could h e a r the laugh with which Mc.Khight cemprehended the situation. He wa» stlB chuckling when 1 came badL "Train to Richmend at 6c30 a, m„" I said. "What time* is ft new?" "Four. Listen, L*llle. We've got him. Do you hearTTttrough the woman at Baltimore Then—the other woman, the lady of tae> restaurant"— he was obviously avoiding names— "she is playing our oarda for UK—No —I don't know why,, a*i I don't care. But you be at the rticubatsr to-night at eight o'clock. IT yot* caa*t shake Johnson, bring him, bless him." To this day I believe th» Sam Forbeses have not recovered from the surprise of my uncx*>ected arrival, my one appearance at dinner te» Granger's clothes, and the note «a my dresser which informed them the- next morning that 1 had folded my teats like the Arabs and silently stolen away. For at half after fiv«- .Tohnsott and 1, the former as unlrtmiisttrye tin e^er, were on our way through the dust to the station, throe miles away, and by four V the girl in the case. Tn quick succes-j that afternoon we were in Washington had come our visit to the Carter J ton. The journey had r*en uneventplace, the finding of the rest of the j fnl. Johnson: relaxed under the in- •firs r;i telegram, my seeing Alison there, and the strange interview with Mrs. Conway. The Cresson trip stood out in my memory for its serio-comic horrors What I and its one real thrill. Then—the discovery by the police of the sealskin bag and the bit of chain; Hotchkiss producing triumphantly Stnart for Sullivan and his subsequent discomfiture; McKnight at the station with Alison, and later the confession that he was out of the running. And yet, when I thought It all over, the entire week and Ita events were two sides of a triangle that was narrowing rapidly to an apex, a point And the said apex was at that moment in the drive below my window, resting hla long legs by sitting on a pipe The Home 'flftV5* was cfillfhg Alison- <tkrougu a megaphone, from the veranda. It sounded like 8am ''All-ce," fM called. "AK-ee! I'm going to have some auchov'es on toast! AU-ce!M fcleither of us heard.

Before we get into Washington I had naade an arrangement with Johnson to surrender myself at two th« following afternoon. Also, I had wtrai to Alison, asking her if she would carry oat the contract she had made. T*e detective saw me home, and left me there. Mrs. Klopton received me with digreserve. The very tone.in which] me when I would dkae told UnU something was wrong. ng basket in her hands, "it was an orderly,, well conducted household- You can ask any. of the neighbors. Meals were ouoked and, what's more, they wcru eaten; there was none of this 'htre one day und gone the next" business." "Nunseuse," I observed. "You're tired, that's all, Mrs. Klopton. And f wish you would go out; 1 want to bath^.', " i hut's not all," she suid with dignity, from the doorway. "Women cuuiinji and going here, women whose shoes I am not fit—I mean, women who are not fit to t d K h my ^hoes— coming .here as iueoleVt aa you please, und askiug fur yuu." "Cood heavens!" 1 exclaimed. "What did J'uu toll them—her, whichever it was ?" "Told her you were sick in a hospital and wouldn't be out for a year!" she said triumphantly. "And when she said she thought she'd come in und wait for you, 1 slummed t h e door on her." "What time was she here?" "Late last night. And she had a light-hatred mau across the street. If j eli« thjoiight I didn't see him she don't 1 know me." Then she closed t h e door and !eft me to my bath and my reflections. At-five minutes before eight I was at the Incubator, where 1 found Hotchkiss and McKnight. They were bending over a table, on which lay Mc- Knight's total armament—a pair of pistols, an elephant gun and an old cavalry ruber. "Draw up a chair and help yourself to pie," he said, pointing to the arsenal. "This is for the benefit of our friend Hotchkiss here, who says he is small and fond of life." Hotchkiss, who had bjewi trying t o get the wrong end of a cartridge into the barrel of one of t h e revolvers, straightened himself and mapped lit* face. "We have desperate people to handle," he said pompously, "amii we m a y need desperate means." , "Htrtehktss is like the smarll boy whose one ambition was to have people grew ashen and tremble at t h e mention of his name." McKnight jibed. Hut t h t T were* serious enough, both of them, under it all, and wtww they had told me what they plannedi. F was serious, tot). . . . . . . "You're compounding a felony;:' I remonstrated, when they had explainodi "I'm not eager to be locked' away, but, by .lore, to offer her the stolen not<« in.-tiftfhange-l'or >.<rKillivan!"' ,_,; •; "We haven%&ot either of them,.you know," McKflight remonstrated, "and we won't havw, if we don't start. Gfcmo along, Fido," tor Hotchkiss. The plan wa» simplicity Itself. According, to Hotchkiss, Sullivan was* to meet BionsonH*. Mrs..Conway's apwf$t raent a t 8:30 | N t night with the note*. He was to be ipldf-there a n d tbfe<papers destroyed. But just before that interesting flnate," McKnight ended, "we will walk* inu take t n e notes, grab Sullivan, and giiva the police a jolt that win put then* out of the cosuit."' I suppose not. one ot us, slewing around corners na t h e machine 2hat night, had. the faintest doubt thai we were on the right track, or t h a t Fate, scurvy enwugh Before, was playing into our Hands aft last. Little HotchkisB w a s in a state of fever; he alternately twltaltotd and examined t h e revolver, a n d a fear that t h e two* moments might h e synchronous kopt me uneasy. He prorSnced and dilated on the scrap trf pillow slip from the wreck, and showed me t h e stiletto, with its point i s cotton batting for safekeeping; Aad in -the intervals he implored Ricbey not to mafce- such fine calculations at the cornersv We were aJl gprave enough and very quiet, however, when we reach«d t h e large building, where Mrftl Conway had her apartment. McKrriafct left the power on, t» case we might want to-malte a quirk get-away, a m i Hotchkiss gaws ai final look at tho> revolver.!'; I had nr* weapon. Somehiu* it all ^ seemed melodramatic to, i£e verge of farue-. In the doorway Uotchkis* was a. half dozen feet ahead; Richer fell buck beside me.

Ilow ia she*** he inquired itrelevantly. '*Very well. I did not see her this morning." Hotchkiss was waiting near the elevator. McKnight put his band on my a r m .

One thing cannot fall to Impress every vlbitux to Bethlehem, and. indeed, to the Holy Land generally, who is Imbued with true Christian faith and a proper sense of the sanctity of the location and of the events that have transpired there, and that is the irore than remarkable correspondence between tho things and places shown us today as having been associated with the life and work of the Saviour and other events that enter into the structure of our religious faith and the descriptions and accounts of them, as furnished us in the pages of the Holy Scriptures. They agree with them In every respect and' H Is Impossible, after care-; fully considering and comparing them, to doubt their Identity, so exactly are they in accord with the Bible narrative.. The work in the fields, the arrangement of the buildings, the very articles of diet and clothipg of ancient days are plainly recognizable in the doings and surroundings of today. Indeed, where modern methods have not hecome obtrusive the manners and customs of the people remain much the same as lid the days of the presence on earth of the Saviour. Between the descriptions given in tfte Bible of localities, climatic and geographical conditions, dfcturces, etc., of thesff times and tti»se of today there t» hardly any discrepancy, .even 8 skeptic, rtfhsidVfing this remarkable accord of circttmstances with the Biblical narrativw, cannot but be convinced of its veracity; to the believer fit comes as a vranderful conviction, a satisfactory corroboration or encouragement to see things aB! those" wfto described them so 'graphically •aw them so long ago.—Columbian; Magazine, All members of the local Hrfe of the Are requested to consult with E their officers concerning the •" Great Cash Prize Contest For All Hives In the County Only members in good stan are eligible.

W. Chadwick, a civil engineer of Ann Arbor, aud publisher of a number of similar and highly satisfactory county maps, proposes to collect the necessary information from a personal search o£ the recoJds aud canvass of the territory, with which to make the map. £f this map is published, which will depend upon its receiving the high apprecation as similar maps have done elsewhere the people of Livingston county can be assured the most complete, accurate and well made up yet published in this part of the state. Not a map like the old atlasses whiciisold at from $1U to 115. This one will be a cloth map in a much handier and compact form of a wall map, containing all the features of the atlasses such as land owners names property lines, acreage, houses-, roads and in addition a directory of great value and other new map ideas. Another fine part is that these maps will be sold at the price of $2.85 to subscribers, a price thata within reach of all. Sample maps brought from othar counties which have been seen by many, speak of the work, and a study of these at your first chance will convince you of their individual as well as public value and use. As the work progresses agents o£ the publisher will call at every home in the county for the purpose of correcting t h e rough township plats, explaining the maps and to ascertain whether or not the necessary 2000 orders needed to publish the map can be obtained. They will give to subscribers signed guarantees stating clearly the contents, quality and price of the map so as to leave no misunderstandings. \\ atch for the canvassers for the Chadwick map and directory of Liviugton county; also see the papers of later issue for they will have much of interest to all about the maps.

Middle Hass island and I'ut-in-Hay, and it is probable they will remain several days, and possibly over Christmas, for there is no steamer able to buck the mammoth ice banks thut have risen and no way to reach these places except by steamer. Just uue hour after the foot party arrived in Sandusky the- l a k e s i d e tore loose from the floe and made her dock, bringing 15 other passengers, all w o m e n , w h o were afraid to risk the ice. She was to have made a return trip to Toledo, but will probably he held in port, as many of her steel plates are badly damaged. The Lakeside is the only steamer running between Sandusky and Toledo at this s e a t o n of the year. Men with the aid of ropes assisted the womeu and children over the bides of the vessel, and the party set out for shore. Fifteen women and children decided to remain. The constant fear that the ice would shift, leaving t h e party adrift on a floe which might be swept into the lake, unnerved the women and made the task for the men difficult. In addition there w e r e several small children in the party, one barely ti years old. Through the darkness stifled cries would announce that someone had fallen into a half-hidden crevass. The ».vho!e party would stop while willing hands rescued the unfortunate. Then all would presu forward into the gale again. Kour hours after they left the ship the adventurers readied the shore. .Many were bleeding from contact with sharp pinnacles of ice, all were numb with cold, the women were faint and the children too exhausted to cry. If is feared the condition of several will prove critical. Mrs. Stetson Gets Eddy Cross. The will of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church, was filed for probate. The bulk ol the $2.000,000 which Mrs. Eddy is estimated to have left goes to the .Mother church at Bos ton. The most interesting tiling about. the will is that Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson of New York citv is liequeathed the handsome piece ot ,'ewelrv known as the "cross of diamonds." It is in the form of a large brooch, two or more inches in diameter, and is one of the most valuable pieces of jewelry which Mrs. Eddy possessed. This bequest conies as a surprise to Christian Scientists, especially as the beneficiary is now excommunicated from the church, it is ali'eadv b"ing said that Mrs. Eddv in. fact had au abiding affection for .Mrs. Stetson, and that, the outcome of her dimoultb'S in the church was not of M^s.

An Alaskan Luncheon. Runners of woven Indian basketry, with white drawn work doilies at each of the 12 covers, were used on an oval mahogany table. The doilies were made at Sitka. In the middle of the table a mirror held a tall central vase of frosted glass, surrounded by four smaller va6es, nil tilled with white spring blossoms. The edge of the mirror was banked with the Bume flowers. Four totem poles were placed on dollies in the angles made by the runners. Place cards were water colors of Alaskan scenery. Abalonc shells held salted nuts, and tiny Indian baskets held bonbons. The soup spoons were of horn, several of the dishes used were made by Alaskan Indians, and the cakes were served on baskets. The menu was as follows; Polsson a la Bering S e a (halibut chowder), Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, potatoes Julicnnel, snowbirds avec auroraborealia t roast duck with Jelly), Shungnak river turnips, Tanana beets, Skagway hash isalad), Fairbanks nuggetB iripe strawberries arranged on individual dishes around a central mound of powdered sugar), arctic slices (brick ice cream), Circle City delights (small cakes), Klondike nuggets (yellow cheese in round 'Bulls on crackers,).'Nome firewater,.(coffee)> - Woman's Home Companion.

Then you pour it out and let it cool and pound it. and then you put it in a thing that bores holes in it. Then you screw it together, and paint it, and put steam In it, and it goes splendidly: and they take it to a drafting room and make1 a bluep rint of it.

' " T w o Very Old Ladies. We have heard a great deal lately about long-lived people, but it is probable that the oldest two people In the world today are F t a u Dutkievltz and another old lady named Babavasllka. The former lives at Poaem, in Prussian Poland, and was born on February 21, 178D. She is therefore one hundred and twenty-five years old. Tbe latter, however, is nine months her senior, having been born in May, 1784. She is still a fairly hale old woman, and for nearly one hundred years worked in the fields.

Following it, an attack on us appeared in their editorial columns; sneering at the claims w e made particularly regarding Appendicitis. We replied through the regular papers and the "weekly" thought we hit. back father too hard And thereupon sued for libel. The advertisement the "weekly" attacked UR about claimed that in many caaewof appendicitis an operation could be avoided by discontinuing indigestible food, washing out. the bowels and taking a predigestPd food Grape- Nutn. Observe we said MANY cape? not all. Wouldn't that, knowledge he a comfort to those who fear a aurgeon'B knife as they fear death? The "weekly" writer said that was a lie. We replied that, he was ignorant of the facts. He was put on the stand and compelled to admit he was not a Dr. and had no medical knowledge of appendicitis* and never investigated to find out if the testimonal letters to our Co. were genuine. A famous surgeon testified that when nn operation was required Crai>eNu?s wnuld not obviate it. True. We never claimed that when an operation waft required Grape-Nuts u-oulri prevent it. The surgeon testified bacteria IgermRl helped to bring on an attack and bacteria was grown by undigested food frequently. We claimed and proved by other famous experts that undigested food was largely responsible for appendicjfia. Wc showed by expert testimony tha* many case* are healed without, a knife, but by stopping the use nf food which did not1 digest, and when food wart required again it was helpful to use a predigested food which did not overtax the weakened organs of digestion. When a pain in the right side apprs.ru it is not always necessary to be rushed off to a Cereal Co., Ltd., Gave to Bring Out Facts hospital and at the risk of death be cut. Plain common sense s h o w s the better way is to stop food that evidently has not been digested. Then, when food is required, use an easily digested food. Grape-Nuts or any other if you know it to be predtgested (partly digested before taking). W e brought to Court analytical chemists from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind., who swore to tho analysis of Grape-Nuts and that part of the starchy part of the wheat and barley had been transformed into Rugar, the kind of sugar produced in the human body by digesting starch (the large part of food). S e m e of the State chemists brought, on by the "weekly" snid Grape-Nuts could not be called .1 "predlgested" food because not all of it was digested outside the body. The other chemists said any food which had been partly or half digested outside the body was commonly known ns "prerligested." Splitting hairs about the moaning of a word. It is sufficient that if only one-half of the food is "predigesled," it is easier on weakened stomach and bowels thnn food in which no part is predigested. To show ihe facts we introduce l)r. Thos. Darlington, former chief of the N. Y. Doard of Health, Dr. Ralph W. Webster, chief of the Chicago Laboratories, and Dr. B. Sachs, N. Y. If we. were a little severe in our denunciation of a writer, self-confessed Ignorant about. appendicitis and its cause, it i s possible tho public will excuse us, in view of the fact, that our head, Mr, C. \V. Post; has made a lifetime study of food, food digestion and effects, and the conclusions are indorsed by many of the best medical authorities of the day. Is it possible that, w e are at fault for suggesting, as a Father and Mother might, to one of the family who announced a pain in the side: "Stop using the food, greasy meats, gi^Yles, mince pie, cheese, too much starchy ' a S p l e n d i d C h a n c e food, etc., etc., which has not been digested, then when again ready for food use Grape- Nuts because it is easy of digee*iO»t" Or should t h e child be at. once e e r t e d est t o a hospital and cut? - - ^ V •, . ^ We have k n o w n of many c a a w e r e e f e j a i *tfeft> - approaching signs of appendicitis h a v e <Wiappeared by the suggestion being followed.

INTERESTING INQUIRY BEGUN present day is a fur cry in point of time, distance and customs of celebration. Aside from tho church services there is much of interest in the laud of "Mo'sieur" at Christmas. The day is chiefly for children, though, of course, the grown-ups lose sight of the real meaning of it no more than do the fathers and mothers' of our own land. In France the great symbol of Christmas is the mistletoe. All over Northern France it is cut iii carloads, carried to the quaint quays of seaport towns and shipped to England— for John Bull comes nowhere near supplying the Christmas demand for mistletoe in his own land. Just before Christmas the French lads and lassies go out into the hoary old forests and search for mistletoe. The boy who sees the first tuft gives, a shout of joy, climbs the tree, cuts it, and is carried back in triumph with his prize, a3 king of the feast. T h e mistletoe is hung above the entrance to a door and the young girls pass beneath it, one by one, to be kissed by the first lad who catches them. On all Paris streets at Christmas mistletoe is for sale, and it is a real Christmas necessity. A queer superstition clings to this winter blossom in the minds of the ignorant French peasants—the burning of the mistletoe. Ugly practices and crazy exaltation have been known to take holti of an entire village, with the superstitious excitement attending the burning of the mistletoe. The custom is, apparently, an ancient one from the Celts. A part of the blossom is broken up into little bits, placed in a pan and held over the blazing Are.

Santa Claus them a r e very similar to the American Halloween. Candles always cower the Christmas tree, yet this is never In full blaze until the night of Christmas day in Germany. There is no week of festivities lasting until cue first day of the year, as in this country. Christmas festivities in England are^ probably more fully enjoyed tiiau iu any other country. Many of the old English customs have been transplanted to America, but many of them are still known only in the country across the sea. In no other country are tho festivities more joyfully welcomed than in England, where the "old honor," as it is called, has not tied. In that country it is the-custom on Christmas eve, after the usual devotions are over, to light large candles and throw on the hearth a huge log, called the Yule log, or Christmas block. At court and in the homes of the wealthy an ofilcer, named the Lord of Misrule, is appointed to superintend the Christmas revels. 1¾ Scotland a bimilar officer is appointed ami is called the Abbot of Unreason. This is merely one mode erf creating an abundance of fun, but long years ago this officer was really appointed to superintend the festivities. In the year 1515 the office was abolished by un act of parliament. The w>ign of the original Ix)rd V>f Misrule started at Halloween and continued until Candlemas day. The favorite pastimes which he now presides over are gaming, music, conjuring, dipping for nuts and apples, dancing and "fool plough," hot cockles, blind man's buff, etc. In England the favorite dish for dinner at this season of the year is the boar's head with an apple or orange in his mouth and set off with rosemary, plum pudding and mince pie. The English children look forward even more eagerly to the Christmas season than the American children. It is their Thanksgiving and Christmas combined. The English Christmas season lasts from the night before December 25 until the first day of the new year, and everything is merry during that time. The season long years ago wan celebrated to a greater extent in England than it. is today on account of the fact that the heads of many of tho churches complained that the season should be more sacred and not so much given over to the joyous proi '-•/•^P^fefcltR r r J@M <*• fchoir bursts forth, in glad, 'j%Bs*ie*n t cadence, the ringing «f the "Gloria in Excelsis."

The German Kris Kringlo never distributes any toys, but he carries a large bag of nuts. These nuts are distributed among the German children on Christmas day. Santa is peculiar in that h.c also carries a bundle of switched. They arc for the children who have? been disobedient <l»ving the past year. When the r u t s a>C distributed the bad chilfftcn receive a switching, instead of their portion of the nuts. In distributing the nuts they are usually pTacod in the center of the table and Sanfff. Claus hrttids them to the youngsters. Frequently the lads are too anxious for their portion of the goodies and the switches in the hands of Santa come down across their shoulders with a whack. Then trwy keep a safe distance from the table. The German children believe in Santa Claus until they become abou* 10 years of age. In Germany only oneday !s celebrated, Christmas eve being left unnoticed. This Is more so among the laboring people, as the shops and factories never give a half holiday on the day before Christmas.

Now that one comes to think of it, it is a mistake to say that March 4 will be a black letter day because as a matter of fact, unless there shall be an extra session of congress, most of the employees of the present house will continue to draw pay until the iiext house convenes, for except in the event of calling au extra session, the clerks and the door keepers end some other employees must continue in the service during the summer mouths to cure for the eapitol; but most of the employees while still drawing their salaries will have- Tittle to do until next December, when in their cases flie real black letter day will dawn.

W 4 p m ^ ***>• A census of the Dominion of Canada will he made during 1911. It will show that during the past ducade a . remarkable development has takiA place, and, when compared With t h o population, a greater percentage of in* crease lu industries of all krada t h a * has ever been shuwu by any country? Commerce, ruining, agriculture aad railways iuivw iaade a atuady marchv ouward. Thu population will be considerably over U.UUO.UUO. Thvaaaada of milea uf railway lines have been conetructlou sinco tho last census was taken ten years a|jo. This construction waa made msceasary by the opening up of the now agricultural districts iu Western Canada, in which, there have been pouring; year a l t e r year au Increasing number pt settlers, uutll the present year will wiUieaa settlement of over 300,01)0, ur a trifle. lews than ouu-third of tho immigratlou to the United States during the aaat> period with Its y^.UOO.OUU ot1 populatioa. Even with these hundreds of thousands of iiBwcomera, the great majority of whom gu upon thx? land, thezo is ttill available room, tor huadreda of thousands additionaL T h o ceu^us llgures will therefore shew a great---a vast—increase in the number of farms under occupation, as well aa in the output of the farms. When the figures of the splendid Immigration are"added to the natural Increase, the total will surprise even tho moat optimistic. To the excellent growth that tile western portion of Canada. will show may largely be attributed the commercial and industrial growth., of the eastern portion of Canada. All Canada is being upbuilded, and in, this, transformation there Is taking" part the people from many countries, b u t only from those countries that produce the strong and vigorous. A a : some evidence of the growth of t h e western portion of Canada, ln agricultural industry, it is instructive to point out t h a t over 100,000 homesteads of 160 acres each have been, transferred to actual settlers in t h e past two years. T M B means 25,00(1 square miles of territory, and then.' when Is added the 40,000 160-acre preemption blocks, there is an additional lft.000 square miles, or a total of 35,- W*0 square miles—a territory as larga as the State of Indiana, and settled within two years. Reduced to the. producing capacity Impeiatlve on t h a cultivation restriction of 60 acres of cultivation on each ICO-acr© homestead within three years, there will be within a year and a half from now upwards of 5,000,000 additional acrea from this one source added to the entire producing area of thq Provinotjfc of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and A4* berta. 'V In 1901, at tho time of tha taa4 census of Canada, successful agrtavJ* ture in tho Provinces of MaadUtfkav Saskatchewan and Alberta waa a s experiment to mauy. Thare w e r e skeptics who could not believe t h a t It was possible to grow thirty, forty and even fifty bushels of wheat to t h e acre, or that as high as one hundred and thirty bushels of oats to the acre could be grown. The skeptics are not to be found today. The evidence of the hundreds of thousands of farraera is too overwhelming. Not only have the lands of western Canada proven their worth In the matter of raisins an the smaller field groins, but for mixed farming, and for cattle raising there Is no better country anywhere. The climate Is perfectly adapted to all these pursuits as well as admirable for health. The Dominion government literature, descriptive of the country* Is what all that aro Interested should read.

Tbe members of tbe company are all artists and they gave an entertainment full of instruction as well as mirth. T b u r songs made a greai bit as all bad excellent voices and knew now to use tbem. Tbe Brass Quartette, composed cornets, trombone and French born made excellent music. Jlr McCarthy was especially uood on tbe violin and gave some fine selections. The bellrininj* act, for which tba company are noted, was a special feature of tbe program. Everybody expressed themselves as well pleased with tbe evenings entertainment. Thj oext number on the course will be kjiven January 14th 1911 by Walden and Company. This number will be a change lrom the other numbers on the course as tbe Company is composed of raagijians who will give an evenings entertainment of magic, ;nirtb and mystery. Mr Walden is one of tbe best magicians on tbe stage and has many tricks that will no doubt be of interest to ail. Mr cleverly, the Handcuff King w li escape lrom all Kinds of handcuff locked up in all positions, as well as from tbe straight jacket, and many othei articles of detention. The trunk mystery is one of tbe special features of this company.

Fully two-thirds of the force of -workers is made up of girls and young women, for .despite all the wonderful machines which have t>een invented of late years to help in the manufacture of Christmas novelties, a large part of the work, must yet be done by hand and in this deft feminine, fingers are to be preferred to men's It may surprise some people to learn that a r»'*jH^-^'taani»fwctory of Christmas cards and like noveli~^_.' vm>J»-bixsy all the year round. One Christmas has no sooner passed into history than the designers are busy trying to evolve new conceits and novelties of various kinds for the next December trade, and using the record of sales for «*' G/J91S AT WO/?sC « • /yAJY//SXC72J#/f/G # S (he holidays just past to guide them in their efforts by the evidence it affords of the trend of the everchanging public taste. Nor is the "busy season"— the "rush peri od" of this activity the interval of a few weeks before Christmas, as many might suppose." On the contrary, it is during the midsummer. When most of us are celebrating the Fourth of July and enjoying an August vacation the workers in tho Christmas card factory are toiling night and day to get out cards with pictures of snow scenes and the like, or course emergency orders are received almost up to Christmas', but the great bulk of Christmas novelties must be in the hands of the dealers four monthB in advance of the day they are to be placed on sale. . And just here it may be added that, by no means all of the Christmas tokens turned out by these wonder workers are low priced. We are wont to think of Christmas novelttes as costing no mr»re than a quarter apiece, at the outside, and yet among the hundreds of different designs produced by a big manufactory each year will be found holiday remembrances that retail at. prices ranging all the way from one cent to $10. Yet. the profits of the manufacturers come principally from the lowprice goods and there is ever a feverish quest for O/SPIAY 07/P/?J novelties. Thr souvenir post card craze was the higgest thing the manufacturers ever encountered. !uid for all that our American factory has prepared 20,()1)0,1)()() post curds for this year's trade it is realized that the lad has seen its best days and the manufacturers are now hunting high and low for something to take its place. The jnoat promising prospect is found in the Ifttte Christmas "seals"" (stamps or stickers) for packages and letters which have come to have such a vogue of late yearB and are now being manufactured by tho dozens of millions a year. There arc some seven or eight main operations in the manufacture of a novelty such as a Christmas card or an ornamental calendar. First of all comes the designing or the making of a preliminary sketch the object of which is to show bow the completed novelty wilr'Jook. This sketch may be painted in water color, made with the aid of an "air brush" or formed by pasting together (in a new arrangement) details taken from other novelties. When a design is approved it goes to the "re producing room." where arrangements are made for manufacture in quantity. Next comes the preparation of the printing plates, dies, etc., and this is followed by the actual printing in quantity. Some of the presses are big enough to print 64 Christmas cards at a time, but some of the more elaborate cards must be run through the presses ten or a dozen times in order to obtain the desired color combinations. Cardboard novelties must be cut and then stamped or pressed -into- shape. The Christmas seals above mentioned are punched by hand or by means of machinery. The arrangement of the various pieces that go to make up a novelty, the adjustments of silken cords, the tying of ribbons, etc., all come in a process known as "manufacture." Finally the cards or novelties are. packed in wooden or pasteboard boxes, all ready to be displayed on the counters of the stores as soon as the holiday spirit in tho air proclaims the approach of the principal holiday of the year. _.,«*• * > ? HE TRUE CHRISTMAS SP1RITICONVIVIALITY OF CHRISTMAS' 4 * M » Toward Our Fellow Men, Toward the Needy and the Lowly Is (ts Message. •i • * * * IF- 1 The old message of good will towwd men is the Christmas spirit, the hope Is that all have been ^Jtiltivating that spirit all the year iflong. If some have not, however, this •. *week Is their opportunity, to secure «U least a fringe of It. '* The birth of Jesus of Nasareth is the special occasion of the festival, tmt all are agreed that the best way to celebrate that momentous event is by keeping the old message of good •rill to men fresh and active la the hearts of all, : ,- f . To.be plain and brief the spirit of Chrifimas is kindness toward our fellow men—toward the needy, ths lonely, the unfortunates in our. civilization's compter life. J.>^ Chjrtstmaa Is the one great festival of the entire Christian world, and no o n e flceeos It who does not Imbibe that'spirit of kindness which was Christ's. Tha—aofats-* o r BtthUhem sounded the note of peace to men, oi good will, and this note hns gone on gathering strength and university down through the ages. All the ceremonials on Christmas day are outranked by the general feeling and desire to increase the happiness of others. For that is what the Christmas spirit is. It is not the cost of the gift that counts, but the spirit that goes with it. The world is growing kindlier and better, and this is why each succeeding Christmas Is greater than any that went before. Christmas and Santa Claus and the joy of children and the brightening of the lives of the to«a fortunate are all great living facts, and it is these facts that constitute the spirit of Christmas. Whoever has that spirit within breast has the true key to Christmas with all Its Joys and happiness. # - • Holiday Season Moves Judge Lenient Towards Old Toper. to Be your honor,' said old George, Whan They Oparat*.

At a dinner in Denver Judge Ben R Lindsey told a story about Christmas conviviality. "There used to be an old fellow of 60." he said, "who got. arrested about twice a week for conviviality. He was always haled before Magistrate Blank, and as the magistrate was about 60, too, a queer kind of comradeship, almost friendship, arose between the two men. "In the late autumn the toper was called away from Denver. He did not return till Christmas time. Tho convivial Christmas spirit in the crisp Denver air was, of course, too much nil | for him, and the day alter his return he was haled before the usual magistrate on the usual charge. "The magistrate, in the green-festooned court room, felt kindly and forgiving. " 'Well, George',' ha said t o the prisoner, you are hare again at last, eh?' " 'Yen humbly. " You've been away some time, haven't you?" " Y e s , your honor; nigh on to three months.' " 'And how many times, George, did you get drunk during that period?' "'I don't like to say, your honor,' old George faltered, 'before all these here people.' " 'Well, said the magistrate, 'take paper and pencil and write it down.' "So George wrote, and the paper was passed up to the magistrate, wbo looked at It and said: "Ah, well, it's the Christmas Beaton, and since you were away, three months, George, and only got drunk 16 times, I'll let you off.'

The people out there were living close, faring hard and—sailng money, says the Philadelphia Fress. That's why the per capita savings bank account of Kansas excelB that of all other states. It is astonishingly different today. At the Leavenworth county fair some days ago dozens of farmers came to the grounds In motor cars. They had •aid for them, too. They had raised gh* wk**4 a a f earn to do it. The «C gilding swiftly over a year or so back condemned the "buzz" wagons which frightened their horses, cave them corOdence and a new satisfaction. Thl! is what the automobile has achieved in our country districts. It baa made a modest toller a man of new resources. It has put a machine in his hands and said, "Use it." And he is using it. He feels himself on a par with any millionaire who can afford to buy a new model every year. OSBORN'S A N N O U N C E M E N T GIVES I N E F F I C I E N T G O V E R N M E N T AS HIS REASON. OOES NOT W A N T RECOMMENDAT I O N S TO H A V E APPEARANCE* OF PERSONAL I N T E R E S T . Outlines His Views in a Formal Statement From His Home in Sault Ste. Marie. Gov.-elcct Oaborn announces that be favors action tbat will make the term of office of Michigan's governor four years; and-because of bis projected activity t o u r i n g this about, he will Dot be a candidate for nomination for a, second term, Mr. Osbora in his statement sayfc: , "1 shall not be a candidate for governor for a second term. This conclusion has been reached after the consideration of Beveral reasons. During the primary contest and subse quent party campaign I frequently made the statement that 1 was inspired to be a candidate more by a desire to do my duty as a citizen than by a mere ambition to be governor. When I made these declarations 1 was deeply in earnest. 1 am still in the same state of mind. "In my opinion, it is desirable to change the term of governorship from two years to one term of four yeans. Should the legislature consider the submission, of an amendment to the constitution to this end, I do not wish it to be hampered by the possibility of a two-year governor succeeding to a four-year term. "Too frequently a first-term governor Teels obliged to consider and cater to popularity and popular measures in order tp insure a second term- This often involves an access of political appointments, trading of patronage, coercion of legislators and other acts not conducive to efficient government. One of the evil results of this has been the practical assumption or a legislative power by the executive that never seems to have been contemplated by our state constitution. "I wish to confess to a desire to have any suggestions I may make to the legislature or any official acts I may perform removed as far as possible from the slightest intimation that there has been any consideration of future personal or political advantage. By making a one-term declaration at this time I frankly hope to insure that credit for sincerity which naturally attaches to disinterest. The Republican party of Michigan is rich in gubernatorial material of the best character and there can be no embarrassment to either state or party in my decision to accept but one term. "It may be fair to state that a personal work to which I had hoped to devote my life was entirely interrupted by my injection into state politics at this time My one ambition . is to serve the state faithfully for one term and then return to the pursuits of a private citizen, in which capacity one should easily be able to accomplish honor, happiness and rational contenlment." ' & • The rapidity of development in this age is such as to cause many to lose *ight of the fart that some of our rhlef industries are of comparatively modern origin. Cotton spinning has come to be one of the foremost of mjfrufacturcs In this and other countries, says the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. But in the present form sVAes been in existence less than a hundred years, the first cotton-spmoiflg mill in the United States having been started in 1811 at Fall River, Mass. That city is preparing to ob serve the centenary of the business, and next year will have an imposing celebration.

The state association of farmers' clubs in session in Lansing went on record with recommendation* on a dosen questions of national tagisl*: tlon. The resolutions* governing the temperance question were toned down to a general denunciation of the saloon and a recommendation for legislation that would make It impossible to have liquor shipped Into a dry territory. A resolution 'recommending the enactment of a law which would bar the literature of wholesale liquor dealers from the United States mull, was turned down. The question of state-wide prohibition was left untouched. The association condemned the management of the state fair for allowing the sale of liQUor ou the state fair grounds, but no specific charges were made ugainst any director or officer. When the resolutions were presented tbey contained one favoring an amendment of the state constitution in a manner which would permit woman suffrage. The resolution was adopted. The amendment also gave favorable consideration to a resolution which asked national legislation providing for the expenditure of a sum on higbwuys equal to that spent on waterways. The following is a summary of the resolutions adopted tor state legislation: In favor of i h e a p p r o p r i a t i o n of a sum suttWient t o erect a. new auditorium for the MienlKiiii AK'I lculturu.1 college.

Navin, who is a member of the board of control of Jackson prison, a comprehensive plan will be laid before the coming legislature looking toward the rebuilding of the prison on a farm outxide the city, and the ultimate employment of all the eonvicta on state account. The legislature will be asked to appropriate money for the purchase of a farm of severe hundred acres to furnish produce for the prison. If this is serured, 20 acres will be inclosed with a wall, ihe work to be done by convict labor. An appropriation will then be asked for now buildings, the plan being to remove the new step' b'ock now in use and build another. There are fov»r rontracU now running in the prison, the longest being that with the Michigan Seating company, which manufactures fiber chairs. It. will not expire for five years, and by that time the board expects to be able to start on a self-supporting basis by taking over the chair contract and enlarging the binder twine plant, the rest of the convicts to be worked on the.prison farm, all to be placed on a wage schedule. In the meantime the board would favor utilizing the convicts in building good roads. If the present prison is retained a new cell block costing 1225,000 will have to be built and the members of the board are convinced that the entire rebuilding of the institution in a more favorable location and with the advantages of a. farm is by far the better plan. The supreme court has settled a feud that, has lasted 40 years at Owosso bv handing down a decision that a line fence on the farm of William Parsons must be left where it was originally placed. Seward Bills, a neighbor, ana Parsons often fought over the location of the fence. The junketing committee of the hoard of supervisors, of Saginaw, returned and advised that Saginaw county prisoners he placed at work on rounty roads as the only preventative of the tvamp evil.

The legislature will he advised by the prison industries commission to purchase large farms for each of the prisons of the state for the employment of as many of the convicts as possible. The members of the commission, as a result of their investigation, favor a move of this kind, and Wardens Fuller and Russell, of the Ionia and Marquette prisons, favor it as weii. The wardens both recommended it to the commission at the meeting in the governor's office Wednesday and told of the success they have had with farm* of small size at present. "I send out men from the prison with no attempt in particular to prevent thir escape and do not have a bit of trouble," said Warden Russeli. "They work well and we raise all our own vegetables. T presume I have had as many as 25 convicts out at work on the farm. If we had more land I should follow the plan on a larger scale.'' "1 have rented land at X~> an acre and worked it. to good advantage," said. Warden Fuller. "It netted us abotyt. 80 cents a day for the convicts' time\ If the state wil! buy the land I will . guarantee it will yield well on the investment, and I wish we had iiOf) acres. I have options on some land now." Gen. Jose Estrada is Dying. Hen.

And when the endless meal waa over, and yards of white veila had been tied over pounds of hair—or is it, too, bought by the yard?—and some eight ensembles with their abject complements had been packed into three automobiles and a trap, I drew a long breath and faced about. I had just then only one object in life —to And Alison, to assure her of my absolute faith and confidence in her, and to offer my help and my poor self, if she would let me, in her service. She was not easy to find. I searched the lower floor, the veranda and the grounds, circumspectly. Then I ran into a little English girl who turned out to be her maid, and who also was searching. She was concerned because her mistress had no dinner, and because the tray of food she carried would soon be cold. I took the tray from her, on the glimpse of something white on the shore, and that was how I met the girl again. She was sitting on an overturned boat, her chin in her hands, staring out to sea. The soft tide of the bay lapped almost at her feet, and the draperies of her white gown melted hazily into the sands. She looked like a wraith, a despondent phantom of the sea, although the adjective is redundant. Nobody ever thinks of u cheerful phantom. Strangely enough, considering her evident sadness, she was whistling softly to herself, over and over, some dreary little minor air that sounded like a Bohemian dirge. She glanced up quickly when I made a misstep and my dishes jingled. All considered, the tray was out of the picture; the sea, the misty starlight, the girl, with her beauty—even the sad little whistle that stopped now and then to go bravely on again, as though it fought against the odds of a trembling lip. And then I came, accompanied by a tray of little silver dishes that jingled and an unmistakable odor of broiled chicken! "Oh!" she said quickly; and then, "Oh! I thought you were Jenkins." "Timeo Donaos—what's the rest of it?" I asked, tendering my offering. "You didn't have any dinner, you know." I sat down beside her. "See, I'll be the table. What waB the old fairy tale? 'Little goat bleat; little table appear!' I'm perfectly willing to be the goat, too." She was laughing rather tremulously. "We never do meet like other people, do we?" she asked. "We really ought to shake hands and say howare yon." "I don't want to meet you like other people, and I suppose you always think of me as wearing the other fellow's clothes," I returned meekly. "I'm doing it again; I don't seem to be able to help it. These are Granger's that I have on now." She threw back her head and laughed again, joyously, this time. "Oh, it's so ridiculous," she said, "and you have never seen me when I waa not eating It's too prosaic!" "Which reminds me that the chicken is getting cold, and the ice warm," I suggested. "At the time, I thought there could be no place better than the farm-house kitchen—but this is. I ordered all this for something I want to say to you—the sea, the sand, the stars." "How alliterative you are!" she Raid, trying to be flippant. "You are not to say anything until I have had my supper. Look how the things are spilled around!" But she ate nothing, after all, and pretty soon I put the tray down in the sand. I said little; there was no hurry. We were together, and time meant nothing, against that age-long wash of the" sea. The air blew her hair in small damp curls against her face, and little by little the tide retreated, leaving our boat an oasis in a waste of gray sand. "If seven maids with seven mops swept it for half a year as I merely held it she let it lie warm in mine. But when I raised it to iay lips, and kissed the soft, open palm, she drew It away without displeasure. "Not that, please," »he protected, and fell to whistling softly again, her chin in her hands. "1 can't sing," she said, to break an awkward pause, "and BO, when Tm fidgety, or have something on my mind, 1 whistle. I hope you "don't dislike it?" "I love it," I asserted warmly. 1 did; when she pursed her If pa like that I was mad to kiss them, "I saw you—at the station," she sold suddenly. "You—you were in a hurry to go." I did not say anything, and after a pause she drew a long breath. "Men are queer, aren't they?" she said, and fell to whistling again. After awhile she sat up as if she had made a resolution. "I am going to confess something," she announced suddenly. "You said, you know, that you had ordered all this for something you—you wanted to say to one. *But the fact is, I fixed it all—came here, I mean, because—I knew you would come, and 1 had something to tell you. It was such a miserable thing I —needed the accessories to help me out." "I don't want to hear anything that distresses you to tell," I assured her. "I didn't come here to force your confidence, Alison. I came because I couldn't help it." She did not object to my use of her name. "Have you found the—your pa- "tfi •jj but that yon were unhappy, and jA&tt done that M M ef thine beters, a i d ] 1 had nd*«*ht to help you. God —wdU; I'MeW paid uV, "f t h t t t / ' ' u j, knows, T thought you didn't want me to help yon," She heldeout her hand to me and I took it "between both of mine. No word of love had passed between us,, but I felt that she knew and understood. H was one of the moments that come seldom in a lifetime, and tfcea.pniy in great crises, a moment of perfect understanding and trust. Then she drew her hand away and sat; erect and determined, her fingers laced in her lap. As she talked the moon came up slowly and threw its bright pathway across the water. Back of us, in the trees beyond the sea wall, a sleepy bird chirruped drowsily, and a wave, larger and bolder than its brothers, sped up the sand, bringing the moon's silver tu our very f e e t 1 bent toward the girl. "I am going to ask just one question." "Anything you like." Her voice was almost dreary. "tyras it—because of anything you are going to tell me that you refused Richey?" She drew her breath '.n sharply. "No," she said, without looking at me. "No. That was not the reason." CHAPTER X X V I I I . Alison's Story. She told her story evenly, with her eyes on the water, only now and then, when I, too, sat looking seaward, I thought she glanced at me furtively. And once, in the middle of it, she stopped altogether. "You don't realize it, probably," she protested, "but you look like a- -a war god. Your face is horrible." "I will turn my back, if it will help any," I said storiuily, "but if you expect me to look anything but murderous, why, you don't know what I am going through with. That's all." The story of her meeting with the Curtis woman was brief enough. They had met in Rome first, where Alison and her mother had taken a villa for a year. Mrs. Curtis had hovered on :;What sort jof ^ n » ~ , . b * * . w J f d U f r h ^ I demanded. I h^fefot up sityl waa pacinf baoff and i#Ttiard-oa the salft.' I remember kicking savagely at a bit of water-soaked board that lay in my way. , ''Very handsome—as large as you are, but fair, and even more erect" I drew my shoulders up sharply. I am straight enough, but I was fairly sagging with jealous rage. "When mother began to get around, somebody told her that I had been going about with Mrs. Curtis and her brother, and we had a dreadful time. I was dragged home like a bad child. Did anybody ever do that to you?" "Nobody ever cared. I was born •>i-r ach save* which coitfraiftaw • dttta /or. txxL It it * wot* sign that thedigeriv*.

"The—police h a ^ not interfered with you?" "They haven't had any opportunity," I equivocated. "You needn't distress yourself about, that, anyhow." "But I do. I wonder why you still believe in me? Nobody else does." "I wonder," I repeated, "why I do!" "If you produce Harry Sullivan," she WAS saying, partly to herself, "and if you could connect him with—Mr. Bronson, and get a full account of why he was oh the train, and all that, it—it would help, wouldn't it?" I acknowledged that it. would. Now that the whole truth was almost in my possession, 1 was stricken with the old cowardice. I did not want to know what she might, tell me. The yellow line on the horizon, where the moon was coming up, was a broken bit. of golden chain; my heel in the sand was again pressed on a woman's yielding fingers; I pulled myself together with a jerk. "In order that what you tell me may help me, if it will," I said constrainedly, "it would be necessary, perhaps, that you tell it to the police. Since they have found the end of the necklace—" "The end of the necklace!" she repeated slowly. "What about the end of the necklace?" I stared at her. "Don't you remember'— I leaned forward—"the end of the cameo necklace, the part that was broken off, and was found In the black sealskin bag, stained with— with blood?" "Blood," she said dully. "You mean that you found the broken *end? And then—you had my good pocket-book. Do you suppose, the Walrus said, that Land you saw the necklace in it, and they could get It clear?'* she threw at me once' when she must have known I was , goiag to speak. I held her hand, and as long you—must have thought—" "I didn't think • anything," 1 hastered to assure her. '1 tell you. 1 never thought of anything the ragged edges of society there, pleading the poverty of the south since the war as a reason for not going out more. There was talk of a brother, hut Alison had not seen him, and after a scandal which implicated Mrs. Curtis and a young attache of the Austrian embassy, Alison had been forbtdden to see the woman. "The women had never liked her, anyhow," she said. "She did unconventional things, and they are very conventional there. And they said she did not always pay her—her gambling debts. I didn't like them. I thought they didn't like her because she was poor—^and popular. Then—wo came home, and I almost forgot her, but last spring, when mother waa not well—she had taken grandfather to the Riviera, and it. always uses her up—wn went, to Virginia Hot Springs, and we met. them there, the brother, too, this time. His name was Sullivan, Harry Finckney Sullivan." "I know. Go on." "Mother had a nurse, and I was alone a great deal, and they were very kind to me. I—I saw a lot of them. The brother rather attracted me, partly— partly because he did not make love to me. He even seemed to avoid me, and I was piqued. I had been spoiled, I suppose. Most of the other men I knew had—had—" "I knew that, too," I said bitterly, and moved away from her a trifle. I was brutal, but the whole story was a long torture. I think Rhe knew what I was suffering, for she showed no resentment. "It waB early and there were few people around—none that I cared about. And mother and the nurse played cribbage eternally, until I felt as though the little pegs were driven into my brain. And when Mrs. Curtis arranged drives and picnics, I—I slipped away and went. I you won't believe me, but I had "Did You Marry Him?" I Demanded. an orphan," I said, with a cheerless attempt at levity. "Go on." "If Mrs. Curtis knew, she never said anything. She wrote me charming letters, and in the summer, when they went to Cresson, she asked me to visit her there. I was too proud to let her know that I could not go where I wished, and so—I sent •'oily, my maid, to her aunt's in the country, pretended to go to Seal Harbor, and really—went to Cresson. You see I warned you it would be an unpleasant story." I went over and stood in front of her. All the accumulated jealousy of the last few weeks had been fired by what she told me. Jf Sullivan had come across the sands just then, I think I would have strangled him with my hands, out of pure hate. "Did you marry him?" I demanded. My voice sounded hoarse and strange in my ears. "That's all I want to know. Did you marry him?" "No." I drew a long breath. "You—cared about him?" She hesitated. "No," she said Anally. "I did not care about, him." I sat down on the edge of the boat and mopped my hot face. I was heartily ashamed of myself, and mingled with my abasement was a great relief. If she had not married him, and had not cared for him, nothing else was of any importance. "I was sorry, of course, the moment the train had started, but I had wired I was coming, and I could not go back, and then when I got there, the place was charming. There were no neighbors, but we fished and rode and motored, and—it was moonlight, like this." i put my hand over both of hers, clasped in her lap. . "I know," I acknowledged repentantly, "and—people do queer things when it is moonlight. The moon has got me to-night, Alison. If I am a boor, remember that, won't you?" Her fingers lay quiet under mine. "And so," she went on with a little sigh, "I—began to think perhaps I cared. But all the time I felt that there was something not quite right. Now and then Mrs. Curtis would say or do something that gave me a queer start, as if she had dropped a mask for a moment And there was trouble with the servants; they were almost insolent. I couldn't understand. I don't know when it dawned on me that the old Baron Cavalcanti had been right when he said they were not. my kind of people. But I wanted to get away, wanted it desperately." "Of course, they were not your kind." I cried. "The man was married! The girl Jennie, a housemaid, was a spy in Mrs. Sullivan's employ. If he had pretended tn marry you I would have killed him! Not only that, but the man he murdered, Harrington, was his wife's father. And I'll see him hans by the neck yet if it takes every energy and every penny I possess." I could have fold her so much more gently, have broken the shock for her; I have never been proud of that evening on the sand. I was alternately a boor and a ruffian—like a hurt youngster who passes the blow that has hurt him on to his playmate, that both may bawl together. And now Alison sat, white and cold, without speech.

As ff the-* charges against her of awake o' nights and of eating canary birds whenever she gets the chance were not enough, the doctors have just discovered that for years she has been responsible for the spread of diphtheria. Dr. G. J. Awburn of Manchester, England, having traced an epidemic of this disease in a suburb of that city to a pet cat belonging to one of his patients, has found, after much clever investigation, that all cats are peculiarly susceptible to diphtheritic affections of the throat. He has therefore recently been warning all families who own cats to watch them carefully, and, If they develop coughs, to forbid their being hugged ami petted. Dr. Awburn further recommends that If the cough persists and the cat begins to grow thin to have the animal destroyed at once.

COSTU KISSES AT CHRISTMAS j * T a Onriatmaa dlanar glvan wery JE%. year to toa old folk* afBanltfk JTm **» ^»Pl t a l of the potteries41acrlct in England, a quaint earomony Is regularly observed. % A.t the conclusion of the meal one of the oldest of the women guests ad vances to the platform and kisses the mayor on both cheeks. His worship gallantly returns the salute, and the exchuuge of kisses continues until all the mure venerable dames present have been thus honored. In l urge business establishments, where the assistants live in. a great deul or kissing goes on at Christmas time. Some of the more during spirits amuiiK the male "bands" have been known to make bets with one another as to the number of different girls they would' kiss between Chrtatmas eve and New Year's eye. In a certain London'drapery bouse two or three seasons ago one of these "horrid males" made a record by saluting seventeen different damsels. But he found the game was not worth the candle, for. in addition to a scratched face and u pretty severe pommeling at the bunds of u victim's sweetheart the rash youth iouud his services dispensed with. At another great emporium one Christmas indiscrimiuate kissing created so much trouble that more than a dozen young men were dismissed. Ever since in this particular establishment even the introduction of a sprig of mistletoe during the festl\e season has been enough to insure instant dismissal. A girl who appeared with a sprig of It in her blouse was orderta to put on her things aud leave at once. A. play ful young man who merely pretended to kiss u young lady assistant was hurried off* the premises with his hat and overcoat in his band. The Lancashire factory maid has a little kissing custom all her own that is sacred to Christmas. At this special period she will kiss an overlooker or any other male "hand" In the expectation that she will be rewarded with a shilling for her temerity. Woe betide the ungallnnt worker who fails to part with the coin. He will find his coat sleeves sewed up or nailed to the wall. If the girl herself does not do this her fellow workers will.

In one instance the master was so furious" nt being kissed that he closed his works until New Year's day, thus mulcting the hands in a week's wages. A ludicrous story is told of a young Japanese engineering apprentice In connection with the Christmas custom of kissing. He was serving his time In the north of England and was astonished when a waitress at the dining rooms which he regularly frequented kissed him under the mistletoe. On its being explained to him ttaut n present was expected in return, htsuggested a pair of gloves. The damsel, hewever. had heard that he was immenuely wealthy and gently hinted that something for her neck would be more acceptable. When the present arrived next day she conjured up visions of a pearl necklace aa she tremblingly undid the parcel. Then was disclosed to her disappointed gaze a Jap's idea of "something for her neck." It took the shape of a bar of soap it fs in cresting r ndon hostelry.

W. L B W I $ UKO*., and CHEESE MAKER Ppa\»e4 A w a y D e c 4> Hl» Home In Thl» Township Cyrus Bennett was born Oct. 28 184¾ in Putnam Township, Livingston eoenty, Mioh., and died Dee. 4,1910, on his late farm near the Old Honasatesd in the same township* It* was 61 years, 1 mo. 7 days of sage. He was married to Miss Jenni* Pierce liar. 23,1898 and to this anion were born four children: Mildred* 12 yrs; Willard, 8 yrs.; Lloyd,5yrb; and Clifford 2 yrs. Besides his wife and children, he leaves one sister and three brothers to mourn his departure: Mrs- Bylinda Randall of Howell, Bslpb, and David of North Hamburg and Anson of Los Angeles, Cal. He also leaves a large circle of friends and neighbors who will greatly miss ^him. Those from Lansing, who attended the funeral were: Floyd Randall, Mrs. Anna Laycox, Mrs. Sarah Stevens and Mrs. Mttta Olds. The funeral was held from the North Hamburg church Wednesday, Dec. 7, at 10:30 a. m., Rev. Albro G. Gates officiating. What a superlatively grand add consoling idea is that of death. Without this radient idea, this delightful morning star, indicating that the luminary of eternity is going to rise, life would darken into midnight melancholy. The expectation of living here, and living thus always would be indeed a prospect of despair- But thanks to that fatal decree that dooms us to die; thanks to that gospel which opens the visions of an endless life; and thanks above all to that Savior friend who has promised to conduct the faithful thrn the sacred trance of death into scenes of Paradise and everlasting delight. Self is the ouly prison that can ever hied the soul; Death the only angel that oan bid the gates unroll; And when he comes to call thee, ariie and follow fast— His waj may lie thru dark new, but it leads to light at but. Our brother now accomplishes without striving, for all problems melt before him, for he has entered the region of reality and deals not with changing effects, but with the unchanging principles of eternity. %* Peaceable People W. P. Van Winkle and F. J. Shields went to Pinckney last Monday to try a lawsuit in justice court there. It is Baid to have been the first jury trial in the village in twelve years.—Livingston Tidings. Yes, Bro. Crittenden, as a rule we are generally peaceable people over here, but aa to the last jury trial, yon better gness again. The last jury trial here was about two years ago, the case of The People vs. Fagan for cruelty to animals.

You'd better •ay, uow, that you will take it and h»ve that over with." "Well." answered Miss Urojetta, hesitating, "maybe 1 will. Squire Brown. I'll think it over." Aa Mihs Iirejetta walked homeward over the sunburned grass uud under tho crimsoning maplea her thoughts were busy. Yes, she would doubtWsH be better with the school to look after than she was alone in her quiet cottage. It had seemed at first when her mother left her that she could never stand the loneliness of coming home every night to the empty house. But now she was beginning to think that she could not endure tho lonely aimlessness of these uninterrupted days and nights. Tears dripped over Miss Brejetta's delicate, spirited face In a way never guessed of by her friends. From his vine-covered porch Richaid Daytott, her life-long friend and nearest neighbor, watched her approach with the tender interest he felt in all her doings. How dainty and sweet she looked; so frail and incomixptettt, yet BO supremely self sufficient! Almost as far back as he could remember he had longed to care for her, to protect her, to let his IOYO show itself, yet never in any smallest way had she allowed him to serve or approach her. This strong man, capable of making the world yield him his honest rights, stood Irresolute and defeated before the sprightly indifference of this pretty but independent woman. Unwilling to allow her to pass without a word, the man sauntered to his own front gate in time to intercept her. And Miss Brejetta, seeing him approach, dried her eyes covertly, while there was a little added emphasis to the sugar coated sharpness with which she always treated him, born of her fear leBt he should see upon her face traces of her recent weakness. "Just been pulling my last, beans," remarked Dayton, displaying his earth-stained hands smilingly. "Won't you let me fix yours for you this evening, Miss Brejetta?" He glanced over the dividing fence at his neighbor's garden. "Indeed no, thank you," refused Miss Brejetta emphatically; "[ shall enjoy doing them myself! It is just play to care for that tiny garden, and it gives me something to he interested in, you know." "It. must be lonely for you now," remarked the man with a solicitude that made Miss Brejetta stiffen with resentment. "Do you never feel nervous at night all alone In the house?" "Why should T be afraid? And, beN sides, Mr. Dayton, what, cannot, he cured must be endured. I am alone In the world and RO must make the best of it." Dayton longed with his whole heart in tell her of a solution to her difficulties that, would bring her a devotted protector, but the tilt of her pretty head warned him to desist, and ha merely suggested lamely: "You know my housekeeper would be glad to go over and sleep in the house, and I really think you ought to h a r e her. Miss Prejetta, with so many tramps as there are about juRt now. Won't you let her come tonight, anyway? The boys will be playing pranks that may be unpleasant for you." Miss Brejetta smiled serenely and exasperatingly into MB pleading face. "The boy* will do nothing to annoy me, I am sure, Mr. Dayton," she remarked, pressing on to her own gate. But. when her own front door had been closed with quiet precision, Mias Brejetta's calmness vanished and she Hung herself with angry and undlgmaed haste into an easy chair. "1 wish he would stop it," she cried Atormlly. "I will not have him pitying me and looking after me all the time! Now I shall have to gather thutsv horrid beans or be will never cease pestering me about them! I can just imagine the reuiurkaj that would be made in thlB town If I ullowed him to make my garden!" And Miss Brejetta, having eaten a hasty supper, pinned up her spotlfe^w linen skirt, put un her stoutest gar den glove* mid, inwardly consumed with wrath, aought her diminutive bean patch. "1 had better get It done with."* she whiajjered to herself after the fashion uf lunely people, "because it will he too wet in the tuorniug and too warm during the day. But it just makes uie furious to be breaking my back out here when 1 haven't even cut the leaves of thut new magazine yet." The sunbaked earth seemed loath to part with the vines it had so carefully nurtured through long months, and Miss Brejetta's strength was not great. Her own cosy piazza beckoned enticingly, but the gleam of a cigar end on the neighboring purcb held her to her task. In the welcome dusk she stole Into the house, barring doors and windows carefully. "You are tired," ahe cried defiantly at her reflection in the ball mirror, "and you just hate gardening. You are lonely, too, and you know you uearly die of fright every night of your life. Why don't you own up to it and let people help you when they want to?" The nearest neighbor hi\d watched Miss Brejetta at her bean-pulling with almost angry impatience. "I wonder why she does It—certainly not because she enjoye it. And she splits her kindlings in the shed so I cannot see her—as if 1 could not hear! And she locks tho doors and windows and nearly smothers herself these sultry nights! "I honestly believe," he mused, "that she would he fond of me if she allowed herself to be. She has always managed pretty well by herself so far, but there will come a time when she will not be so self-sufficient. And, by jove, I almost wish something would happen to take down her pride a little, poor girl!" For a long time he sat ciuietly thinking. Then Richard Dayton, one of tho most respected and highly honored man of his town, did a strange thing. Up in tho close, clustered attic he stole with a tiny flickering caadle to: light, and when ho came down noiselessly, he carried some dark, shapeless garments over his arm. Long After Miss Brejetta had retired she lay awake thinking miserably. Scarcely discernible footsteps seemed haunting the darkness, but 6he comforted herself thinking it was boys on their midnight Halloween pranks. Unaccountable night-sounds caused her to shrink nervously, but at last she slept in fitful snatches. Suddenly she sat up, every sense alert. The vibration of the old brass knocker still echoed through tho hall. For a moment she cowered among the pillows, then the thought of some one in trouble nerved her to action. Tremblingly she lighted a lamp, slipped on some clothing and hurried to the door. Without waiting for her courage to fall, sho slipped the bolt, swung back tho door, and let the light shine across—a vacant porch! But down by the gate stood a slouching figure with hat pulled low. "Mr. Dayton—Richard!" called Miss Brejetta faintly, almost dumb with terror. "Here!" called a familiar voice reassuringly, and the nearest neighbor sprang over the end of tho porch rail and took the lamp from her trembling hand. Drawing her out to the shadowed piazza and into his arms, he held her breathlessly. "I heard the bell," ho explained, "and feared you would be frightened! See, dear, it is that strawman— just a Halloween joke! But you do need me, don't you, Brejetta?" "Oh!" she sobbed, her fane against his coat. Then with intoxicating sweetness she surrendered completely. "Dick. 1 want you to hoe the garden, and split the Kindling, and do the whole miserable business! And 1 perfectly hate living alone, and I have been lonely and afraid, and I'm glad I've been neared Into my senses!" "And do you love me a little, Brejetta?" anxiously. "Do you suppose," ahe cried in exasperated tenderness, "that I should have used yon so shamefully if I hadn't, loved you? Oh, you dear, stupid man!" $3.58 RECIPE CURES —<•* R E t y f t V M URIMitoY A^ID $1DNEY T ^ P U i l i E * >»AWA*3W€, SflWklM- ",a».!tyLLiffl.-^Tc'r. • V ; i ) i " — • • * - • • : * 8top« (*ata In tna Bladder, Kidney* and Back. •Wouldn't it be nice within a week or s o to beMirj to any goodbye forever t o the Bculdlng, Urlbbllny, straining, , p r too frequent paasaKu of urine; the^fyrehead and tho back-of-tht-htad achea; the utitcbea and pains In the back; the g r o w i n g taincle wea.kn(.ujj; tspoti before the eye»; yellow «ktn; uluK&litU bowel*; uwoUen eyelids or tinkles; IUK c r a m p s ; unnatural t h o r t breath; ulcepleJPveiw and tho dependency'.' •.' 1 have u recipe for these trouble* that you can depend on, and If you |rant to m a k o a QUICK ltKCOYKRY.i ; yoU\OUght to write uud Kt-t u copy uf it.

Thousands of men and women who have felt the sting and torture of that dread disease, Rheumatism, which is no respecter of age, persons, sex, color or rank, will be interested to know that it. is one of the easiest afflictions of the human body to conquer. Medical science has proven it not a distinct disease in itself, but. a fiyniptom caused by inactive kidneys. Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood and other waste products of the aystern which should be filtered and strained out. in the form of urine. The function of the kidneys is to sift these poisons and acids out and keep the blood clean and pure. The kidneys however, are of sponge-like substance, the holes or pores of which will sometimes, either from overwork, cold or exposure become clogged, and falling in their function of eliminating these isons from the blood, they remain the veins, decompose and settling about, the joints and muscles, cause the untold suffering and pain of rheumatism and backache, often producing "For sixteen long years I have been suffering with a bad case of skin disease. While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs Just in back of j my knees, It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin j disease. I tried many widely known I doctors in different cities but to no j satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg joints It made it impossible for mo to walk, and I was forced to Btay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recovery were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I waa advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Pills] and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a different man entirely. I am now the happiest man that there is at least one true care for skin diseases. Leonard A.

The Incident resembles a case nearer home, adds the New York Tribune. A New York family was blessed with nine daughters, when the stork brought a tenth one. It was in the days when the slang terra for an ofttold story was a "chestnut," and aa the baby certainly came under that head, ahe received the name, but for suphony's sake the French for the word was employed, and she was called Marron.

When the good bishop beheld how well the fields of the Manganja were cultivated, he remarked, "When telling people in England what were my objects in going out to Africa I stated, among other things, that 1 meant to leach these people agriculture; but 1 now see ttlat they know far more about it than I do."

It may not be generally known that Victor Hugo used to draft the advertisements of his own hooks instead of leaving the task to his publishers. His correspondence with his Belgian publishers gives the following example of the- great novelist's advertising style: "After the middles ages, the present time: Such is the subject of Victor Hugo's doftble story. What he did for Gothic art, in 'Notre Dam de Paris' that he has done for the modern world in 'I^es Miserables.' The two books figure in his scheme of work as two mirrors reflecting the whole human life," An encouraging example to those young autbera who cannot make up vthi^r_ mj*«|« fcotv much modesty is **njoin«! by the best literary traditions!

"Didn't you hear me tellln' you that was a Shaker Lakes car?" ho in quired, breathlessly, and a bit. grouchily.

Ryan, the well-known expert on flying, condemned, in a recent interview in New York, the new type of monoplane—the dangerouly frail monoplane to which is harnessed a (Jnome motor of enormous power. "These machines," said Mr. Ryan, "are killing off so many young men that, really, if you wanted to praise them, you'd have to balance your words as cautiously as the man with the two-cent cigar.

A great rnaes of correspondence has come in during the last three day* from Parral, Chihuahua and Torreon. from business men, lawyers, doctors and quasi-newspaper men, All minimize the disorders of a week ago and all derlare that the government is in control except in a few scattered places. The fact that the insun;ecto leader's whereabouts is not known leads !l Are the great financiers of the coon try beginning t o see a new light? Time was, until recently in fact, whan the men at the head of the big c o r poratlons "kepi their business to themselves," as far M t h e law would allow. Capable men a t thfi head of the big concerns, long realized the weakness of their position, but what was needed obviously, a s in all great reforms, was an unmistakable occasion and a courageous man. T h e occasion aroee In the purchase of t h e Western Union Telegraph company by the American Telephone and Telegraph company, and the man appeared ro Theodore N. Vail, President of the purchasing corporation. It was last December when publio announcement was made that the Gould holdings of Western Union had been t a k e s over b y the Telephone company. On account of the high esteem in which the management of the telephone company is so generally held, great things were predicted as a result of the absorption of Western Union. By the press of the country the "deal" was most favorably commented on, it being widely pointed out that under the direction of such men as Theodore N. Vail and bis associates, the telegraph company waB bound aoou to work itself into a position where It could offer the public far more efficient service than it had ever before been able to offer. But a very few months had elapsed when it became apparent to the new management that a modern and up** to-date appraisal of the company's assets would make possible a far greater degree of efficiency of operation. "Here," they said to themselves, "we've bought control of this property and we know it's immensely valuable, but we don't know just how valuable. These appraisals of real estate and securities owned were made a long time ago. If we have a complete inventory made of every thing we've got we can announce the facts to the public, start * new set of books, and begin our responsibility to stockholders right there." How Inventory Was Taken. The most expert accountants and appraisers to be had were put at the task. Their labors lasted over eight months. Their report and Us publication by the company marks an epoch in finance. It^began by recommending an adjiMment of the difference between the appraised and book values by a charge of 15,595.089 against surplus. Hook values of securities held were reduced to market values, bad and doubtful accounts were "charged off," an allowance of $2,000,000 was made for "depreciation," another of $o00,000 for "reserve," and so on, until the old surplus of $18,807,000 came down to $5,1^6,000. It required courage, the publication of this statement to stockholders, saying in effect: "The property of your company has been revalued: the surplus isn't nineteen mill- 4) .1 4 to the supposition that he is engaged • | u n B a a h a v ( 1 D e r n l r l f o b in an attempt to join some band of •,„„.„ , , + <, .... .. , . , his svmpaihlUrs with arms and oiher ! 0 V e ; b u t flvf mill ions, but it was munitions of war.

There w a s no disloyalty in the thought; it w a s the lad's nature to give and crave aflec- -tion. Only—1 w a s different. I had n e v e r really cared about a girl before, and my life had been singularly loveless. I had fought a lonely batt l e always. Once before, in college, -we had both laid ourselves and our •callow devotions at the feet of the > -same girl. Her n a m e w a s Dorothy— I had forgotten the rest—but I reanembered the sequel.

He tossed his cigarette In the general direction of the hearth and got up. We were both a little •conscious, and lie stood with his back t o me, fingering a Japanese v a s e on the mantel.

Incidentally, he said that Alison Mas his wife's cousin, their respective grandmothers having, at proper intervals, married the s a m e man, and that Alison would lose her good looks If she w a s not careful. "I s a y she'B worried, and I stick to it," he said, as he threw the lines to a groom and prepared to get out. "They're Here," He Said. there with his blood-thirsty schemes, and started for the station. I had a t e n d e n c y to look behind me now and then, but I reached the station unnoticed. The afternoon was hot, the train rolled slowly along, stopping (to pant at sweltering stations, from whose roofs the heat rose in waives. But I noticed t h e s e things objectively, not subjectively, for at the end of the journey w a s a girl with blue e y e s and dark brown hair, hair that, could— had I not seen it?—hang loose in bewitching tangles or be twisted into little coils of delight. C H A P T E R X X V I I . It is late, as if he had s o m e t h i n g more ?aay, but the impulse passed. "Well, night," he aald from the door- "Good night, old man." The n e x t moment tho outer door etammed and I heard the engine of 4fc*> Canfionball throbbing in the Then the quiet settled down Id m e again, and there in the light I dreamed dreams. I wag to s e e her. Suddenly the idea of being shut away, even temporarily, from so great a n d wonderful a world became intolerable.

I telephoned a s soon as I reached my hotel, and I had not. known how much I had hoped from seeing hrr until I learned that she was out of town.

In the old days at college I had rather flouted him, but now I w a s ready to take him to my heart. I remembered that he had a l w a y s m e a n t well, anyhow, and that he w a s explosively generous. I called him up. "By the fumes of gasoline!" he said, Woman! Blakeley, the Grrat Unkissed! W e l c o m e to our city!" Whereupon he proceeded to urge m e to c o m e down to the Shack, and to say that I w a s an agreeable surprise, because four t i m e s in two hours youths had called up to ask if irk and Alison W e s t w a s stopping with him, There, and to s u g g e s t that they had a vacant 'Vsftw a conference with Blobs, w h o s e . day or two. 3fts»>U5r03 fairly Jerked with excite-] "Ob—Miss W e s t ! " I shouted polite- "You know her, and she's the kind of girl you think you c a n read like a book. But you can't; don't fool yourself. Take a good look at her at dinner, Blake; you won't lose your head like the other fellows—and then tell me what's wrong with her. We're mighty fond of Allie." He w e n t ponderously up the steps, for Sam had put on weight since I k n e w him. At the door he turned around. "Do you happen to know the Mac-Lure's at Seal Harbor?" he asked irrelevantly, but Mrs. Sam c a m e into the hall just, then, both hands out to greet me, and, whatever Forbes had meant to say, he did not pick up the suhjert asain. "We are having; tea in here," Dorothy said gaily, indicating the door behind her. "Tea by courtesy, bec a u s e I think tea is the only hover- j age that, isn't represented. And then w e m u s t dress, for this is hop night at the club." "Which is as great a misnomer as the tea," Sam put in, ponderously struggling out of his linen driving coat. "It's bridge night, and the only hops are in the beer." H e was still gurgling over this as he took m e upstairs. He showed me my room himself, and then began the fruitless search for e v e n i n g raiment that kept m e home that night from the club. For I couldn't wear Sam's clothes. That w a s clear, after a perspiring Reanee of a half hour. "I won't do it, Sam," I said, w h e n I wh e n I told him who I was. "Blake- had draped his dress-coat on me toga ley, the Fount of Wisdom against l/fashion.

I won't do it; I'm selfish, but not that, selfish." "Lord," he said, wiping his face, "how you've kept your figure! I can't wear a belt any more; got to have suspenders." H e reflected over his grievance for s o m e time, sitting on the side of the j bed. "You could go as you are," h e ; aald finally. "We do it ail the time, only to-night happens to be the annual something or other, and—" he trailed off into silence, trying to buckle my belt around htm. "A good six laches," he sighed. "1 never get into a hansom cab aay more that I don't expect to see the horse fly up In the air. Well, Allie isn't going either. She turned down Granger this afternoon, tho Annapolis fellow you m e t ou the stairs, pigeuu-breaated chap—and she always g e t s a head ache on those occasions."' H e got up heavily and went to the door. "Granger is leaving," he aald, "I may be able to get his dinner coat for you. How well do you know her?" he asked, with his baud on the knob. "If you mean Dolly—?" "Alison." "Fairly well," I said cautiously. "Not as well as I would like to. I diued with her last week in Washingten. And—I knew her before that." Forbes touched a bell instead of going out, and told the servant w h o answered to s e e if Mr. Granger's suitc a s e had gone. If not, to bring it across the hall. Then he came back to his former position on the bed. "You see, w e feel responsible for Allie—near relation and all that," he began pompously. "And w e can't talk t o the people here at t h e house—all the m e n are in love with her, and all t h e w o m e n are jealous. Then—there's a lot of money, too, or will be." "Confound the money!" 1 muttered. "That is—nothing. Razor slipped." "I can tell you," he w e n t on. "because you don't lose your head over every pretty face—although Allie is more than that, of course. But about a month ago she went a w a y — t o Seal Harbor, to visit Janet MacLure. Know her?" "No." "She came home to Richmond yesterday, and then came down here— Allie, I mean. And yesterday afternoon Dolly had a letter from Janet— s o m e t h i n g about a second man—and saying she was disappointed not to have had Alison there, that she had promised them a two-weeks' visit! What do you make of that? And that isn't the worst. Allie herself wasn't in the room, but theru were eight other women, and because Dolly had put belladonna in her e y e s the night before to see how she would look, and as a result couldn't see anything nearer than across the room, some one read the letter aloud to her, and the whole story is out. One of the cats told Granger and the boy proposed to Allie to-day, to show her ne didn't care a tinker's dam where she had been." "Good boy!" I said, with enthusiasm. I liked the Granger fellow— since he was out of the running. But Sam was looking at me with suspicion. "Blake," he said, "if I didn't know you for what you are, I'd s a y you were interested there yourself." Being so near her, under the s a m e roof, with even the tie of a dubious secret between us, was making me heady. I pushed Forbes toward the door. "I interested!" I retorted, holding him by the shoulders. "There isn't a word in your vocabulary to fit my condition. I am an island in a sunlit s e a of emotion, Sam, a—an empty place, surrounded by longing—a—" "An empty place surrounded by longing!" he retorted. "You want your dinner, that's what's the matter with you—" I shut the door on him then. He seemed suddenly sordid. Dinner, I thought! Although, as a matter of fact, I made a very fair meal when, Granger's suit-case not having gone, in his coat and some other man's trousers, I w a s finally fit for the amenities. Alison did not c o m e down to dinner, so it was clear she would not go over to the eluhhouse dance. I pled m y injured arm, and a. fictitious, vaguely located sprain from the wreck, as an excuse for remaining at home. Sam regaled the table with accounts of my distrust of women, my one love affair—with Dorothy; to which I responded, as w a s expected, that only my failure there had kept, me single all t * s e years, and that if Sam should he mysteriously missing during the bathing hour to-morrow, and so on.

A simple form of dish-washing machine that a handy man can make at home has been invented by a Minnesota woman. It is designed primarily for use In hotels and restaurants, where tho dishes are too numerous to be washed by hand, but It will be found a useful article in large households. The apparatus consists of a base board with two upright posts in the center of either side. These posts have a rotable shaft passing through them with an eccentric wheel on each end and a crank to turn it. Just above this are slots to receive a cross bar and guide its upward and downward movement, and a wire basket la slung on this cross bar. The machine is placed in sink or tub full of hot water and the basket filled with dishes. The crank Is then turned; and as the eccentric w h e e l s revolve they raise and lower the cross bar resting on them and thus raise and lower the basket, with the result that the dishes are thoroughly rinsed by the water, which should be kept hot enough to clean them thoroughly.

Kuoop about two weeks ago and who has been missing ever since, has at last been captured at Clinton, la., last Thursday, when calling for his mail in the name of A J . Collins. Lines behavior since killing Knoop has been of the Btrangest as ascertained from a diary found in the youths pockets, which gives in detail all of his actions since November 19. when he shot and killed Knoop, took ¢41.00 and fled. The acquisition of this money is mentioned in the first entry as "received for threshing." The diary shows the boy traveled all day and night after the shooting, going to Jackson aud Galien and later to South Bend, Loganswort Jndson, Btreater, Elgin; Rock Island Davenport and'finally to Clinton. Line says he killed Kuoop afttr they had quarreled concerning whether he was to receive | 2 . 0 0 per Any for work he hud performed, or $1.75. Euraged at the farmer's action in paying him at the lower figure, lie got a 32-calibre revolver and shot Knoop dead. Several boxeB of quinine capsules were found in the boy's pockets. As Boon as word of his arrest was received, L. E . Howlett who has been employed as his attorney, wired t<> Clinton to have Line told to do no talking to anyone. It had been hoped that, because of the excellent character the young man had bourn, that he would he able t<i tell another story us soon as he arrived.

The restoration ut this famous tower which collapsed suddenly on July 14. 1802, alter a proud r.\isuuu;» of 1,014 yuars—<-ha« proved a gnmiiT undertaking than anticipated, aomit ol ihn detalla prebiuting technical dUtlcullleH. The iriteu Hipn waa to reyroiiuc-u the old lower aa faithfully us jripssiblf, ^nl! Wjtfv that object in view the brU'kb, of j^iiieh IheYe are ov«r a million, were (specially »e tad and laid. The bricka are each 1JJ inches IUUK. inches «44ti ainl 3 iuchen deep, and the clay la let) ruixeU, to aecure liomoKeneity. These bricks, wevur, contained Halt, which threatened to turn e tower white, and such an outcry w*m raised oug the Venetlaua that the work was suspended jwhile an Inquiry was held. It waa found that by ajtfolonged soaking In water the salt was removed. i' T h e tower- is quadrangular, nearly 40 feet square .jat the base a n d 350 feet high, including the pinnacle the shape of a pyramid, the summit belug crowned >y the figure o f an angel with spread wings. The undations of the ancient buildings were found to good, but none too wide, so that considerable treastheulng had to be effected. No scaffolding has jbeen used, a sliding platform being contrived to rise rwith t h e progress of t h e building. , The shaft; Which w a s completed last December, l a composed of an/inner and an outer shaft, between "•J i ^ 4 * T 58* hv? h .,» v a t * . t. ¢ - 0 v ^ * " * \ " w *d •* 4 £?< x} v. > r#r /yrw QW/A*//JZ r /7j /rs/ow J& Which mounts the inclined plane which leads to the bell chamber. The walla of the outer Khaft are six foet thick and the inclined plane is lit by 3G wlnklowc, In (he new tower the shafts nrp bound together by iron ripds and the pilasters at the angles of the inner shaft are similarly united. This will cause any future fall of the tow.er to he as one m a t s •instead-of a gentle subsiding. Careful searching among the ruins of the old campanile resulted in the finding of nearly all the fragm e n t s of the beautiful bronze doors, statues and baat e l l e l s of Sansovino's famous loggetta. which has been restored with wonderful care and devotion. T b o estimated cost of the present tower is over 2,000,000 francs, this sum having heen> raised by publ i c Bubscriptlon and a large grant from the state. When the tower fell, of the five bells only the •'•largest was not broken; the other four have been .replaced and were presented to his beloved Ven- -tce by Pope Piua X. The lions of St. Mark, which ^originally occupied the centers of the north and Kouth sides of the attic and were defaced during t h e French occupation, are to be replaced. - The tower has a strangely hard and new ap- ~yMraaee against the soft, time-mellowed facade t*of the church of St. Mark with Its wild horses iUld euridos Oriental-looking domes, and s e e m s alpiost as incongruous as the large steamboats and •motor launches which have now challenged the N supremacy of the graceful gondola on Venetian VatrrwayK.

On the summit of all will be fixed a gilded figure of an angel, pivoted at the head of a pendulum. so that, when wintry winds s w e e p over the Venetian lagoons the strain upon the tower on this figure will be reduced to a minimum. The view from the summit of the tower Is a fascinating and in some respects a surprising one, for from this elevation none of the canals are visible, and the only one of the innumerable bridges which one can discern Is the Ponte del Lovo—a Venetian corruption of the Italian word lupo, which signifies a wolf.

K I N G M A N . ) A horse cannot do satisfactory work with shoulders that pain h im every time h e takes a step. The horse may be looked upon a s a machine that Is expected to do s o much work, and if some of the mechanism is out of order then ffte amount of •work is lessened. But, also, t h e animal muat be looked upon a s a creature with feelbiK and ambition, taking pride In its work, that is a willing, obedient a n d therefore valuable servant, and should be properly cared for» T h e first thing of importance (o consider i n tho draught bbrse Is the collar. Most of t h e injured shoulders are the result of poorly fitting collars, and the fault usually lies in a collar being too large. It Is a good Id^a to have a harness maker fit t h e collars to your horses. He m a y be able to remove padding and in other ways make the collar o v e r s o that it will fit. nicely. Heavy collar pads are to be avoided if possible. They are hot. and cause the shoulders t o s w e a t ; this kreps t h e pad and shoulder wet, and the skin becomes soft and blisters easily. Dirty collars are probably a s responsible for sores houiders a s ill fitting ones. In the spring especially, when the horse's hair II; loriK- Hr> Is soft from lack of work, and sweats profusely. This forms a gummy dirt that adheres to the crillar and maker;, when dry, a hard, rough surface. f h e ordinary farm hand feels that bis duty is done if he scrapes the dirt from the collar with the back of his jackkrdfe. This method, however, Ls not .'in especially good o n e for the leather of the collar, and a smooth surface is not. left. A damp sponge used in the evening a s soon a s t h e collar In taken off will, in o n e or t w o minutes, remove the d i r t This may be followed by nn oiled rag; if this is done the collar in the morning should he soft and smooth. Careless driving, jerking a horse out of tho furrow and into it. again, allowing him to work with his head around on o n e Ride, all tend to produce sere shoulders. Of courxe, the first precaution to take In not t o ask a colt to do a full day's work until he learns s o m e t h i n g about, h i s job and c e a s e s to fret. The fhoulder will then gradually become toughened. It is a good idea to sner jc calves from the best cows should be raised. It is well to raise a choice male animal, to take the place of tho head bull when he becomes too old or vicious. Dairymen having the pasture and the forage should raise their cows, instead of buying them. Better milkers may b e had and at much less cost. The labor cost of raising a calf should not be counted, a s the farmer should attend to this part of the business. He has abundant time not only to raise the calves, but also to feed and help milk, r n l e s s the owner gives careful attention to details he had better give up the milk business. The calf pen should be kept clean, given dry bedding and fully exposed to the sunshine and well aired. the Shoulders With cold water—just plain cold water. Alum water has been used to good advantage; also weak solutions of tannic acid Alcohol tends to toughen t h e skin. Tho injuries to the top of the neck very frequently terminate in fistulas, withers, etc. A blister near t h e point of the shoulder is likely to become a callous and form what is known as a cold abscess." Ill fitting collars « n d poor drivers are equally responsible for a condition knbwn as "sweeny." TRUCK FARMING WITH DAIRY D i f f i c u l t t o C o n c e i v e o f M o r e P r o - f i t a b l e T y p e o f A g r i c u l t u r e T h a n J u d i c i o u s B l e n d - ing: o f T w o . TTSWF*'.- ••. - <i<v w . \r. KKLi.y.) The truck farmer who is fanning without manure maintains the supply of nitrogen In his soil by the use of legumes and huys n fertilizer rich in phosphoric acid and potash. In this way he secures a belter balanced fertilizer than the dairyman who u s e s manure rich in nitrogen and deficient in the mineral elements on clover sod that is already rich in nitrogen. Now- as nitrogen is the most expensive element of fertility we can readily s e e how much more profitable it would be. for the dairy farmer to lengthen his rotation one year and grow some highly organized market crop that would sell for more than enough to pay for the purchased grain fomis required M feed the dairy cows. In thi.s wa\ he \vi.i:M b-> making better use of the •.•iirplus of nitrogen and the purchase nf a small amount of mineral fertli/ers would enable him to greatly increase the yield of every crop grown in the rotation that is followed in growing food for his cattle. I believe that, we should try aad incorporate some of the methods of soil handling prartisod by the tracker and market r rop grower into the management of our dairy business if we succeed in deriving from ir the largest and most certain profits. It is difficult to conceive of a more profitable type at farming than a judicious blending of dairy farming and market crop growing, but. in order, to successfully combine these two types of agriculture we must abandon old and unprofitable methods of dairying and grt right down to a stuH\ of the jtrincij.J.^s of hoil fe.t.lity. •%+?• ^ . •"&£• W E I G H E D O N L Y 80 P u U N D S .

MICA AXLE GREASE Keeps the spindle bright and free from grit. Try a box. Sold by dealers everywhere. STANDARD O I L C O , ^Incorporates!! This is a simple home recipe now being made known in all the larger cities through t h e newspapers. It is intended to chock the many cases of Rheumatism and dread kidney trouble which have made s o many cripples, invalids and weaklings of some of our briRhtcst. and strongest people. The druggists everywhere, even in the smallest communities, hn.ve been notified to supply themselves with the ingredients, and the sufferer will have no trouble to obtain thorn. The pre scription ir. as follows: Fluid Extract. Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Karpon, one ounce, and Compound Syrup of Snrsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shakintr well in a bottle. The dose is one tcaspoonfnl after each mral and at. bedtime. Recent experiments in hospital cases prove this simple mixture effective in Rheumatism. Because of Its positive action upon t h e climinative tissues of the kidneys, It compels these most, vital organs t o filter from the Mood and s y s t e m the waste impurities t\nd uric acid which arei the cause of rheumatism. Tt. cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and rcn: oves quickly such symptoms a* backache, blood disorders, bladder weakness, frequent urination, painful pcaldinpr and discolored urine. Tt. acts as a gentlp, ttmrough regulator t o the rntlre kidney structure.

English owners of homing pigeons have lost so many of them this season that they believe there is an especial cause. This cause, many of them are Inclined to suspect, is wireless telegraphy. Many will dismiss the indictment aa fanciful, on ar ount of the comparative weakness of the current which wireless telegraphy brings into play. The answer to this in that the current does n o t kill the birds, but only confuses them, causing them to rnlea their way. If the Marconi current affects pigeons, why not gulls? Indeed, it would seem not Impossible that wireless telegraph stations may be the means of greater disaster to gulls than lighthouses. Estimates That 26,000 Are Hunting Deer in State. PERMITS TO SHIP CARCASSES Clerk of Houghton Reports That Thert Are About 1,500 Nimroda Busy in His County—Reports of the State Game Warden. Laubing.- There are approximately 26,000 deer hunters in the woods of Michigan, according to estimates made in the office of the state game and huh warden here. Of these 21.000 are in t h e upper nejilnaula and the other 6.0U0 in lower Michigan. The purser of the car ferry operating between 'Mackinaw City and St. lgnace reports that up until November 18 3,320 hunters had crossed the straits on his boat. There, had been 12« permits to ship deer carcasses out of the state Issued tu date. The county clerk of Houghton county reports that there are about 1,500 Nimroda busy in his county. Robert Shoeman, a seventy-fouryear- old hunter of Liberty Center, 0., escaped serious punishment for an Infraction of the hunting laws because of his age. He was arrested in Houghton county on a charge of taking out a Michigan hunter's license, at a cost of about three dollars, instead of the foreign license required by law, which would have cost him $25. Recause of his age the fine was set at $2fi. The penalty provided allows of a $200 fine. I^ast season James Crawford and C>. A. Hurd of Duncan, Pa., secured resident hunters' licenses in this state. Crawford later changed his mind about taking t h e hunting trip. Burd shot two deer and shipped one of the carcaBses to Duncan under the name of Crawford. The Houghton county game warden secured a warrant lor Burd last year, but was unable to serve it until this season, when the man returned. Burd paid $150 line. From London comes the announcement of the death of the woman who claimed to be the original of "Little Dorrit," that famous character of Dickens. The lady was entitled to the hekeflt of the doubt, but It la a fact that similar clafmB have been made by others. It is also nsserted that a brother of the woman who has just died was the original "Tiny Tim," and that he served in part an the rondel for 'Paul Dombey." If all those assertions can he proved it would seem that the family formed a sort of trust for Dickens characters. Perhaps If the truth were known a considerable pronoirtion of the socalled automobile "accidents" would be found to have resulted from befuddled heads and dhsteady nerves. The menace of a man under the influence of liquor and in an automobile is easily appreciated, and when it. is demonstrated that crashes on the toad are due tn drunkenness the punishment, should he severe.

Lansing should not have any more cases of smallpox springing from those already here." With these words, City Physician Jones characterized the smallpox situation in I^ansing. After several days of wholesale vaccination of pupils in the public schools, of employes in the factories and large business concerns, and of many others about the city, he unites with the other physicians of Lansing in saying that such a general Btampede to be vaccinated he has never before witnessed, and because of It Lansing need not fear that many more cases of the contagious disease will develop within her own borders. "It is due to two factors," said he. "The newspapers, which have continued to urge the necessity of vaccination, have conducted a campaign of education Invaluable to the city. I told a man the other day that if he would keep still that the city health officers and the newspapers would handle the situation BO that there would be no need to fear that business would he injured here. The other factor that has hustled people to the doctors to be vaccinated has been the few deaths which have resulted In other cities in the state. "We are ahead of the game. Vaccination prevents the spread of smallpox. We need m,,. fear much from these cases which are already in the city. They are mild, and we knowthat six out. of the seven came from other cities, where the disease has been prevalent. Of course, there may be a few more cases which come as a result of outside infection. Among airmen excessive avoirdupoise Is at a discount, most of the successful atmosphere navigators being physical lightweights.

Ferry, president of the state hoard of education, bring suit against the- state of Michigan for $7.14? A report of such nn intention has reached the sir>te board or auditors, and although it. does not seen-, to he causing them any annoyance, yet they are wondering. It. appears that on Sopfcmher 1,r.. 1910, Mr. Ferry filed with the hrmrd of auditors a hill of his expense account as president of the board, June 3, 1909. to August 29, 1D10, which amounted to S14G.11.

Every freshman coed uaisi take gymnabium work, unless because of some organic heart trouble she is physically unable to take the work. This year there are 181 freshmen girls taking work in Barbour gymnasium. Of this number there aro 17 who have to do light work, because of a tendency to weak lungs, and 26 girls whose hearts are too weak to allow of their taking the regular gymnasium exercises. In the case of the girls with weak lungs, there are none whose condition la at all serious. All of these will be helped and possibly cured of their weakness, through t h e special work that Is being given t h e m under the supervision of the director. Miss Bigelow. Valuation Figures Ready In June. Lansing! The state tax commission had u short session a t Detroit in the Hotel Ponchartruin, mainly for the purpose of discussing figures for the coming equalization. "Under the law," said Tax Commissioner Shields, "we are obliged to submit our figures ou the value, of the property of t h e state, and as we have only a small force it means a lot of hard work. We hope to get our work done by next June. Five years ago the board of equalization paid no attention to the state tax commission, and it remains to be seen what course will be pursued next year. Of course the valuation will be much larger, but as yet we have arrived at no conclusions, and we cannot until the necessary data have been collected." Secretary George Lord, who will be a member of the legislature, will leave his position next month, and the board will hold a meeting about December Ui. in I>ansing, to decide on his su""Hsssor.

Under the law the commission is authorized to cxTimino the testimony taken in a rate case before judgment. is rendered to determine whether the testimony reveals any reason why the commission should revise its schedule of rates.

CHAPTER XXV.—-Continued. Against both of these theories, I accuse a purely chimerical person namej, Sullivan, who was not seen by any of the survivors—save one, Alison, whom I could not bring into the case. I could find a motive for hie murdering his father-in-law, whom he hated, but again—I would have to drag In the girl. And not one of the theories ex- •lailMd the telegram and the broken N the office force was arriv- Jlf. TiteF were comfortably ignorant of my presence, and over the transom floated scraps of dialogue and the stenographer's gurgling laugh. Mc- Knight had a relative, who was reading law with him, in the intervals between calling up the young women of his acquaintance. He came in Ringing, and the office boy joined in with the uncertainty of voice of 15. I smiled grimly. I was too busy with my own troubles to find any joy in opening the door and startling them Into silence. I even heard, without ,. resentment, Blobs of the uncertain 0 wolce inquire when "Blake" would be i*l>aek. I hoped McKnight would arrive before the arrest' occurred. There were maJiy things to arrange. But when at last, impatient of his delay, I teie- •pfcoaed, I found he had been gone for ^•MlM than an hour. Clearly he was ;if » a i coming directly to the office, and •with such resignation as I could muster I paced the floor and waited. I felt more alone than I have ever felt in my life. "Born an orphan," as BJelwey said, I had made my own way, carved out myself such success as had been mine. I had built up my house of life on the props of law and •order, and now some unknown hand , had withdrawn the supports, and I Vtood among ruins. •>,' I suppose it is the maternal in a woman that makes a man turn to her when everything else fails. The eternal boy in him goes to have his wounded pride -bandaged, his tattered aelf-respect repaired. If he loves the woman, he wants her to kiss the hurt. Tht longing to see Alison, always with mc, was stronger than T was that morning. It might be that I would not see her again. I had nothing to j-ay to her rave o:ie thing, and that, under the cloud that hung over me, I did not dare; to say. Hut I wanted to see her, to touch her hand—as only a lonely man can crave it, 1 wanted the comfort of her, the peace that lay in her presence. And so, with every step outside the door a threat, I telephoned to her. She was gone! The disappointment wan great, lor my need was great. In a fury of revolt against the scheme of things, I heard that she had started home to Richmond—but that she might still be caught at the station. To see her had by that time become an obsession. I picked up my hat, threw open the door, and, obvious of the shock to the office force of my presence, followed so immediately by my exit, I dashed out to the elevator. As I went down in one cage I caught a glimpse of Johnson and two other men going up in the next. I hardly gave them a thought. Then1 was no hansom in sight, and 1 jumped on a passing car. Let come what might, arrest, prison, disgrace, I was going to see Alison. I saw her. I flung into the station, saw that it was empty—empty, for she was not there. Then I hurried back to the gates. She was there, a familiar figure in blue, the very gown in which I always thought of her, the one she had worn when, Heaven help me—I had kissed her, a t the Carter farm. And she was not alone. Bending over her, talking earnestly, with all his boyish heart in his face, was Richey. They did not see me, and I was glad of it. After all, it had been McKnight's game first. I turned on my heel and made my way blindly out of the station. Before I lost them I turned once and looked toward them, standing apart from the crowd, absorbed in each other. They work the only two people on earth that I cared about, and I left them there together. Then I went back miserably to the office and awaited arrest. C H A P T E R X X V I . On to Richmond. Strangely enough, I was not. disturbed that day. McKnight did not. appear at all. I sat at my desk and transacted routine business all afternoon, working with feverish energy. Like a man on the verge of a critical illness or a hazardous journey, I cleared up my correspondence, paid bills until I had writer's cramp from signing checks, read over my will, and paid up my life Insurance, made to the benefit of an elderly sister of my mother's. I no longer dreaded arrest. After that morning in the station, I felt that anything would be a relief from the tension. I went home with perfect openness, courting the warrant that I knew was waiting, but I was not molested. The delay puzaled me. The early part of the evening: waa uneventful. I read until late, with occasional lapses, when my book lay at my elbow, and I smoked and thought. Mrs. Klopton closed the house with ostentatious caution, about eleven, and hung around waiting to enlarge on the outrageousness of the police r,earch. I did not encourage her. "One would think." she concluded you were something you o u g b t n t t o j 0*7 Mr. tanrrcuer.* • Tlwj •scwd «* though you had committed * c r l » e . " "f jn n o ! ssure •. t h a t I dsda'S. •» Wv Klopton," 1 said wearily. "Somebody did; and toe general vefdici aeelJDa. to point my way." She atared at me In bpeechleaa indignation. Then she flounced out. She came back once to aay t h a t the paper predicted cooler -weather, and that she had put a blanket on my bed, but, tu her disappointment, I refuaed to reopen the subject. At half-patst eleven McKnight and Hotchkisa came in. Kfchey has u habit of stopping bib c a r In front of the house and honking until sonus one comes out. He baa a code uf signals with the horn, which I never remember. Two long und a ahurt blast mean, 1 believe, "Send out a box ol cigarettes," and six abort blasta, which sound like a police call, mean "Can you lend me aome money?" Tonight i knew something was up. for he got out and rang the duor bell like a Christian. They came into the library, and Hotchkiss wiped his collar until it gleamed. McKnight was aggressively cheerful. "Not pinched y e t ! " he exclaimed. "What do you think of that for luck! You always were a. fortunate devil, Lawrence." "Yes," I assented with some bitterness, "I hardly know how to coutuin myself lor joy sometimes. I suppose yuu know"—to Hotchkiss--"that the police were here while we were at Cresson, and that they found the bag that 1 brought from the wreck?" "Things are coming to a head," he said thoughtfully, "unlets a little plan that 1 have In mind—" lie hesitated. "f hope so; I am pretty nearly desperate," I said, doggedly. "I've got a mental toothache, and the sooner it's pulled the better." "Tut, tut," sadi McKnight, "think of the disgrace to the firm if its senior member goes up for life, or—" he twisted his handkerchief into a noose, and went through an elaborate pantomime. "Although jail isn't so bad, anyhow," he finished, "there are follows that get the habit and keep going back and going back." He looked at his watch, and I fancied his cheerfulness was strained. Hotchkiss was nervously fumbling my book. I "Did you ever read the Purloined! Letter, Mr. Blakeley?" he inquired. ; "Probably, years ago," I said. "Poe, isn't it?" He was choked at. my indifference. "It is a masterpiece," he said, with enthusiasm. "I re-read it to-day." "And what happened?" "Then 1 inspected the rooms in the house off Washington Circle. I—i made some discoveries, Mr. Blakeley, For one tiling, our man there is left-! handed." He looked around for o u r ; approval. "There was a small rush-! Ion on the dresser, and tha scarfpins in it had been stuck in with the left hand." "Somebody may have twisted the cushion," ! objected, but -he looked hurt, and P desisted. . •'•• "There is only (me discrepancy," he admitted", "but it trOuWee me. According to Mrs. Carter, at the farmhouse, our man wore gaudy pajamas,' while 1 found here only the most Be-1 verely plain night-shirts." j "Any buttons off?" McKnight inquired, looking again at his watch. j "The buttons were there," the araa-; teur, detective answered gravely, "but the buttonhole next the top one was torn through." McKnight winked at me furtively. "I am convinced of one thing," Hotchkiss went on, clearing his throat, "the papers are not in that room. Either he carries them with him, or he has sold them." A sound on the street made both my visitors listen sharply. Whatever it was it passed on, however. I was growing curious and the restraint was telling on McKnight. He has no talent for secrecy. In the interval we discussed the strange occurrence at Cresson, which lost nothing by Hotchkiss' dry narration. "And so," he concluded, "the woman in the Baltimore hospital is the wife of Henry Sullivan and the daughter of the man he murdered. No wonder he collapsed when he heard of the wreck." "Joy, probably," McKnight put in. "Is that clock right, I^awrence? Never mind, it doesn't matter. By the way, Mrs. Conway dropped in the- office yesterday, while you were away." "What!" I sprang from my chair. "Sure thing. Said she had heard great things of us. and wanted us to handle her case against the railroad." "I would like to know what, she is driving at," I reflected. "Is she trying to reach me through you?" Richey's flippancy is often a cloak for deeper feeling. He dropped it now. "Yes," he said, "she's after the notes, of Chirac. And I'll tell yon I felt like a poltroon—whatever that may be—when I turned her down. She stood by the door with her face white, and told me contemptuously that I could save you from a murder charge and wouldn't do it. She made me feel like a cur. I was just as guilty as if I could have obliged her. She hinted that there were reasons and she laid my nttitude to beastly motives." "Nonsense," I said, as easily as I could. Hotchkiss had gone to the window. "She was excited. There are no 'reasons,' whatever, she means." Hichey put his hand on my shoulder. "We've been together too long to let any 'reasons' or 'unreasons' come between us, old man," lie said, not very steadily. Hotchkiss, who had been silent, here eu'.no forward in big moat impressive manner. He put nta hands under his coat-tails and coughed. "Mr. Blakeley," he began., "by Mr. McKnight 3 advice we have arranged a little interview here tonight. If all haa gone us 1 plauued, Mr. Heury Pluekuey Sullivan is by itils lime under a r n s t . Within u very lew minutes lie will hi- here.' "1 wauled iu talk to ium before he was locked up,' Hichey 1 jLtdaiued. "He's clever enough to be worth knowing, and. besides, I'm not so cocksure of his guilt as our friend the patch on ihe seal <>r government. No murderer worthy or the name needs six dilferonr muiives lor the saiue crime, beginning with robbery, und ending with an unpleaiiuuL lather inlaw." We were all silent lor awhile. Mc- Knight stationed himself at a v. iuduw, and Hotchkiss paced the Hour expectantly. It's it ^reut day lor modem detective methods," he chirruped. "While the police have been guardui!.'; houses and .standing with their mouths open waiting fur clews to fall 111 and choke them, we have pieced together, bit by bit, a fabric ••" The doorbell rang, followed immediately by sounds of l'oo.tsteps in the hall. McKnight threw the duor open, and Hotchkiss, raised on his toea, flung out his arm iu a gesture uf superb eloquence.. "Behold your m a n ! " he declaimed. Through the open doorway came a tall, blond fellow, clad in light gray, wearing tau shoes, arid followed closely by an oilieer. "I brought him here as you suggested, Mr. McKnight," said the constable. But .McKnight was doubled over the library table in silent convulsions of mirth, and I was almost as bad. Little Hotchkiss stood up, his important attitude finally changing to one of chagrin, while the blond man ceased to look angry, and became sheepish. It was Stuart, our confidential clerk for the last half dozen years! McKnight sat up and wiped his eyes. "Stuart," he said sternly, "there are two very serious things we have learned about you. First, you jab your scarf-pins into your cushion with your left hand, which is most reprehensible; second, you wear—er—nightshirts, instead of pajamas. Worse than that, perhaps, we find that one of them has a buttonhole torn out at the neck." Stuart was bewildered. He looked from McKnight to me, and then at the crestfallen Hotchkiss. "I haven't any idea what it's all about," he said. "I was arrested as I reached my boarding-house to-night, after the theater, and brought directly here. 1 told the officer it was a mistake." Poor Hotchkiss tried bravely to justify the fiasco. "Vou can not deny," he contended, "that Mr. Andrew Bronson followed you to your rooms last Monday evening." Stuart looked at us and flushed. "No, I don't deny it," he said, "but there was nothing criminal about it, on my part, at least. Mr. Bronson has been trying to induce me to secure the forged notes for him. But I did not even know where they were." "And you were not on the wrecked Washington Flier?" persisted Hotchkiss. But McKnight interfered. * ' T h e r e is no use trying to put the other man's identity on Stuart, Mf. Hotchkiss," he protested. "He has been our confidential clerk for six years, and has not been away from the office a day for a year. I am afraid that the beautiful fabric we have pieced out of all these scraps is going to be a crazy quilt." His tone was facetious, but I could detect the undercurrent of real disappointment. I paid the constable for his trouble, and he departed. Stuart, still indignant, left to go back to Washington Circle. He shook hands with Mc; Knight and myself magnanimously, but he hurled a look of utter hatred at Hotchkiss, sunk crestfallen in his chair. "As for aa I can see," said Mc- Knight dryly, "we're exactly as far along as we were the day we met at the Carter place. We're not a step nearer to finding our man." "We have one thing that may be of value," I suggested. "He is the husband of a bronze-haired woman at Van Kirk's hospital, and it is just possihle we may trace him through her. I hope we are not. going to lose your valuable co-operation, Mr. Hotchkiss?" I asked. He roused at. that to feeble interest. "I—oh. of course not, if you still care to have me, I—I was wondering about —the man who just went out, Stuart, you say? 1— told his landlady tonight that he wouldn't need the room again. I hope she hasn't rented it to somebody else." We cheered him as best we could, and I suggested that we go to Baltimore the next day and try to find the real Sullivan through his wife. He left sometime after midnight, . and Richey and T ware alone. (TO T.K CONTINUED.) m HUSBAND M W H I M FATAL, DUEL WITH M } " • - . 1 s 4 - -i " • . * Aa George Sees the Peer*.

LIVE "CORPSE" AT HOSPITAL Farmer's Back Broken by Falling T r e e — W i f e Ships Him to Surgeons in "Dead Man's Basket." Philadelphia.—John Cramer, a farmer, fifty-nine years old, of Bartonville, Pa., lies at the Pennsylvania hospital with a broken hack. A hugs tree which he was felling suddenly toppled over and pinned him to the ground. Atter Cramer was injured the question arose as to how to obtain the services of the best Philadelphia surgeons. Mrs. Cramer and her friends had to act quickly, and It was decided to ship the farmer to Philadelphia In an undertaker's casket. The casket is called a "dead man's basket," and is of wicker. The Pennsylvania hospital had been notified in advance, and an ambulance waited at the Broad street station for the patient. The baggagemaster s'.owly carried the great oval basket to the car door. Some mistake must have been made, thought the hospital attendants. They drew back, fearing that their wait had been in vain and that their only service would be to carry a body to the morgue. Quietly the train crew explained. The cargo, this time, in that temporary casket was alive. The basket was tightly sealed with wire, which could not bo untied at the station. The return trip to the hospital was quickly made. The wire binding waa severed. With the raising of the lid the pale face of John Cramer waa revealed. At the first glance It was thought that the ride in prison wicker had really been for naughL but the old man waa only asleep in his hay-lined coffin. At first surgeons at the Pennsylvania hospital believed the case to be hopeless. All the resources of modern surgery were drawn upon, however, and Cramer recovered control of one arm and then the other. Soon it is expected that ho will have regained the use of all his limbs and that he will be able to go about, as he did before the accident.

It would hi- fa- •tmiliur to every roador. Outi Uuy 1 received a, message from film requesting me to call at his office a t my earliest convenience. iTust'iitmyself I waa K'veu a private in rviow. Alter a little preliminary iveruutiou the judge suid that he . ranted to talk to me in regard to a personal mutter, lie needed my-assistkmce In an affair of much concern to fciimtielf and wife. He thou rotated at koine length the history of his family jtrouhlen. There waa a skeleton in his ^cloutit H e had sent for me believing Vhat I might bo able to devise some iiieutsuTG. of relief. !C;- 9 "My wife," he said, "is very mucu tjworricd and quitu prostrated with brief. She ia in such a nervous state iof mind I fear she will hreak down kiltogether." Hia eyes tilled with tears ias he explained the cause of their Ijreat trouble. "She was a widow with h;td known her when she was a iusyi'h eked young \MIIII;IU some twenty five years Lielure. She was then hvini; with her husband m a liule town in JUJiiheastoru Ohio. This was before she became 1 he wife of the judge. Her first marriage was said lo be i runaway match. She was a remarkably beaulli'ul woman then, but ihere WHS a cloud hanging over her life. I can i not Lay what it might have been that caused gossiping women to shake their heads and whisper as she passed by. Shortly after she gave birth to a sou she lefi the village. 1 do not know just where she went, but it was shortly afterwards rumored that she had been granted a divorce. She was now cutting a large figure in society und often spoken of as the handsomest woman in the capitol city. Her husband, the judge, was up to ] this time quite successful in political life. Possessed of considerable brain force and much amiability of character, he might have risen still higher had not the intrigues set on foot by his ambitious wife contributed to puu him down. She planned schemes to exalt him and to acquire wealth. In making these efforts she aroused the jealousies of others und made the judgo quite unpopular with the leading politicians. Her mle-lirected zeal not ; only crushed the political prospects of ' fen only son when I married her. This her husband, but finally resulted in ex son, notwithstanding his moral training and tender care, hats turned out to )e an unmitigated villain and a constant menace to our peace of mind. He seems to be heartless and devoid Jof decency and respect for our posit i o n . Uesides, he is a thief Only a whort time ugo he was arrested in Chicago, taken to Baltimore and charged Xwith committing a robbery in a house \>t ill repute. I waa compelled to setkle the case or suffer the disgrace of Jan exposure. Wine and women are • l i s hobbies. He is reckless in the use • *of money and will resort to any means Jto obtain it. Even now I am furnishi n g the money wherewith to gratify ihis vicious appetite, (led knows what the will do next! We are living in confcstantjfear that he will do something ^to publicly disgrace us, Now, if there ^jte any wmy Uaat he can be got out of jthet couptry^without publicity, if you tean devise any plan to get rid of him jwithout killing him or sending him to Jthe penitentiary, it Mill meet with my (approval. 1 think it is a case where tsovere measures would be entirely (justifiable. Just think of it! The (scapegrace has gone so far in his <leipravity as to oscorl a woman of known •bad character to his mother's receptions." My sympathies once aroused and a promise made, I felt, bound to take como action. It appeared a difficult (undertaking. The fellow was to be got rid of, but just how was tho .^question that, puzzled my brain. I had rread of many Htraugo disappearances of persons who were never afterwards Iheard or, but the manner of their disappearance was not always clear. It may have been a voluntary act, mental aberration or the result of a crimo, I prided myself upon my skill in demising ways and means to accomplish a n end, but tho case in hand, after «ome deliberation, appeared aorne^hat llike perpetrating a wrong deed for *the purpose of accomplishing a good -result i ff the story told by the judge was -true, there would he but little difficuljty in landing the rascal in the penirtentiary for the crimes he was comm i t t i n g almost daily; but. a measure T)f this kind would mean exposure and ;disgrace. To put. him away by foul •means was out of the question. He {may have deserved a sharp medicine, i .taUHt^tfee-TrGrld may have been better -toff without him, but there was no | (thought of doing him bodily harm. | The idea was to dispose nf him and \ 'slide him out, of the country tenderly, ! IThe judge wanted to got. rid of htm, j 'but could suggest no way. It was .. I •jdolicate case to handle. I knew that ' [the judge was a conscientious and hu- ,mane man ::nd that he meant, no •wrong, and It, wan difficult for me tn ••understand tho course I could safely pursue. A;; 1 turned to leave the judge,':; •Office his wife entered the room. 1 .wax introduced, and oast, my oven ftipon hor face. If did not appear quite -new to me. Could I be mistaken? Had il met her before? As ihe possible recognition did not appear mutual 1 was .unable to place her. The judge turned away to converse 4-with his disbursing clerk. The wife "who had evidently been informed in fl-esnrd to the purpose of my interview *<with the judRP. requested rne to be •eated. Placing her hand upon m. larm she smiled pleasantly, while as- TRurlng me of hor faith In my ability tn «lo Kpmelhtmr to help them out nf the <ieep trouble they wer« in. She spoke bitterly of h e r e o n ATtd of the many indignities he had heaped upon her. 'She 'wanted tn TVrv freed from him. was to be polling her from Washington society. I Mas furnished a photograph of her profligate stepson. 11? was a linelooking young man, with wavy hair, keun blue eyes and rosy cheeks; in fact, much like his mother in her I ma! e big hauls." The judge's stepson took to a suggestion ul this kind like [a duck lo water and Mas highly elated ; on arcouni id ihe proposed trip. lie no doubt Imagined a blunder Held for ihe exercise ot Ills o.vn peculiar talent. |t)n their arrival at New York they registered under assumed names at [the .Men-hams' JioLel on Cuiirlland street. Fur several days following they strolled about th«j oily, taking in the sights and waiting for something to turn up. While walking along liroadway, near the old Astor hotel, they chanced to pass a middle-aged man who was gazing about in an uncertain sort of May. Hia dress and maimer gave him the appearance of a green one from the rural districts, presumably from some place uui west. "Here," said Reed in an undertone, "Is the very fellow we are looking for. Let us try a hand on him. I will make him think 1 have met him before." Reed now stepped up and accosted the green on*; with an air of assumed familiarity. Seizing him by the hand he said: "How do you do. Mr. (ilic.k? I am so glad to see you." The verdant man responded: "Yon are mistaken, sir; my name Is Jones, and I live at Fort Wayne, Indiana." "Never mind the name," said Reed, "l got the names mixed, but I remember now where I met you, You used to run a livery stable at Kokomo." "Yes, I did." "Then of course you remember me. I am the man that sold pumps and kept my team at your stable. Yin /((/mrwerss WRSA BUt Offft IM /t/?(Mft0f0ft 7/tae/iMfdr youth, His face was criminal tendencies.

On the InBtant I rncog -Hized her aa an old acquaintance, i innship of men. This being the case I war; at a loss to determine how to reach him. It, was necessary to introduce a stranger in ortler to carry out the plot. I had in view. After pondering over tho matter for some days I hit. upon an expedient that I believed would dispose of the young man without, public: exposure nr resorting to crime. There \ Q K in my employ at, this time a man whom I shall call Reed. If ever then; Mas, a born confidence man he Mas the one; nn actor that, could assume a parr, live it. and play it. throue.h with a face as solemn as the graveyard; never virions, but. over apparently in earnest M-hile practicing a deception for misleading only those who ought, tn be misled. I had found him on all occasions tn lie a valuable assistant. In furthering the ends of justice. Reed hailed from the south, had just, arrived In tho city and was In quest, of a private lodging place. The judge's stepson was now occupying an elegant, suite of rooma in a fashionable location, lie Mas so ompletely captivated by Reed's assumed manners and at)parent, wealth that, he was delighted at the opportunity afforded to secure a roommate. Tha detective accepted tho offer made by Ills rev,- friend and poon found himself in quite a novel and dangerous situation. He waa the eompnnion of a thief Mhose exploits wore, liable to involve hoth in trouble. He had led his roommate to believe that, he was himself engaged In rruostionabht transactions and that. New York wan the place to operate In. There," r.aid he, "are chances to and I have taken many drinks together." "Oh, yes," drawled Mr, Jones; "what on earth are you doing" in New- York?" ".lust, looking around and having a good time. Let's go and take something." "Come along, Jones. Lot us go around to our hotel," said Reed. The trio went to the .Merchants. .Tones accepted an invitation to go to the room of his friends. "What, is \oar favorite drink?" asked Keeik "i'lain hrand>," said .lone:;. "I will go (Town and bring up a bottle." \s lU-rd moved nway he winked ably to the judge's stepson. Alter an ebsonee of some thirty minutes or more Reed returned wilh the brandy, lb- pulled the cork. While .(ones was looking out. of the window he slipped a small vial out nf his pocket, and, giving his partner an opportunify to see it, ho turned the contents into tho hoi tie of brandy. He gave the bottle a shake and sot It down on the table. The judge's stepson's face flushed and there WHS a tremor in his voice. He seemed to comprehend the noxious power of the venomous ingredient, that had been poured into the bottle. Rood appeared self-possessed and proficient in the art or deceiving and bold and bad enough to commit any crime, while the young man was evidently greatly frightened---not. because of any compunctions of conscience, hut for the reason that ho was, as was after wards shown, a natural born coward. lie possessed none of the elements and rugged force of an assassin. He seemed to have a m-rvniis apprehension that he was M-ading In water too dee;; and dangerous. He was heartleM unc-ugh. but bocoehow lacked the nurv« to; perform. Btep by atep Jones became drowsy. The atepfcou strove to rully him lo his sensea. Jones closed bis eyes. What might have been a puautoui o* overheated imagination now became H leurful reality. The stepson was now almost paralyzed with fear as Jones ; ' l p p e d f r o m h i s c h a i r UJ t h e H o u r . W a s h e d e a d o r a l i v e ?

J now leave the horrors of this occasion lo the imagination of the reader. The uvo survivors suddenly left the bote] and crussed over to Jersey City and took lodging tit Taylor's hotel, M"hcrc they registered under assumed names, as iln-y had done previously fctt ihe McrchaiirV. It Mas late in th" evening when, they went to bed. They had left the -Merehants' hotel late hi the afternoon. Jones, the sup posed drugged countryman, Mas not quite aa dead as the judge's blepson thought him to be. He, too, Mas a skilled pretender. Soon after his entertainer:: had taken their departure he, possum-like, came to life, got up and took u drink from the brandy bottle that was left upon the tabl*', and made his M-ay at once to the government secret service office, where lie told the story of his adventure and received further instructions. This so-called Jones was a detective of marked ability. He could assume almost any character and deceive the best educated criminal, yet withal an honest, faithful servant to the government. At an early hour on the following morning at Taylor's hotel Reed pretended to he taken suddenly sick with a cramp in his stomach. He left his roommate and went below. A short time afterwards he rushed back into the bedroom and informed the judge's stepson with a trembling voice that they must get out of the place in a hurry or they Mould be arrested. Reed said that while downstairs he had torn a slip from a newspaper. He handed it to the judge's stepson, who. on glancing at it hastily, at once sprang out of bed It Mas a sensational article and bore the appearance of having been clipped fro,m a newspaper. As a matter of fact, however, it had been printed at the New York Tribune job office. It was a nice piece of deception and read as follows: A B r u t a l M u r d e r and R o b b e r y . Another of 1 hose outrageous and dastardly murders which have so recently startled the community occurred in this city yesterday afternoon, the particulars of which are as follows; It appears that shortly after dark last, evening a won dressed man, apparently ihirty-flve years of age, was found by the polios lying near Ihe font of Courtland street in an insensible condition. He was taken to the pollen station, where restoratives were administered, and when he had revived sufficiently ho stated that his name was V. R Jones and that lie was from Fort Wayne, Ind, Mr. Jones was removed to the city hospital last evening, where he became delirious and died about nlno o'clock. The police are on the track of the murderers, who are supposed to be from Baltimore or WafihinRton, as the clerk at the hotel states that, they came in just. after the arrival of the Washington train, The clerk is positive he can identify them. A frightful ghost had risen and was standing in Its most, horrible form before the now half-crazed titepson. The rope of the hangman was looming up before his eyes. He did not even take time to wash his face, so great was his anxiety to leave New York behind him. Even the very air he breathed seemed tainted with the foul odor of his crime. It. was thought to he dangerous to travel by rail at first, and they started away on foot, and finally concluded to make their way to New Orleans. Reed was, of course, the ruling spirit, and was carrying out, the plan they had agreed upon. They doubled back and fnrlh with tho object of putting imaginary pursuers off tho track. Reed was seeking delay for the pur pose of gaining time:, When tho pair arrived at. New Orleans nbout. tho first thing that met their eyes was a handbill posted in the depot describing tho fugitives and offering a reward tor their arrest, and conviction. Staring at. the bill with heads of perspiration starting upon his brow the judge's stop: on nearly collapsed. He Mas careworn, downhearted and ready to speed away as swift as steam could carry him. In tho course of time the fugitives arrived at Brownsville, Tex. From this point T received a note from Rood saying that they Intended to, cross the Rio (Irando and work their way tn tho City of Mexico. To the minds nf the detectives whn played their part in thia case the whole affair appeared a farce. After a time Reed returned from Mexiro. He had given hlR companion the slip and was quite positive In his opinion that, the judge's stepson would never dare show his face In the United States. He declared the mnn was about the greatest, coward he had ever reel. with. Reed was correct in his opinion, as tho fugitive, so far as I know, ha never been heard of. He certainly die not appear in Washington to further annoy the judge and his wife, fie ma> i-fiil be running from a Nemesis tha will never overtake him. iCopyrlsht, 1310, by W. O.

T h e new children's bureau of Detroit is p r e p a r i n g to inaugurate a vigorous campaign for a new child labor law in Michigan. At the meeting of the bureau at Detroit, C h a i r m a n Fred M. Htitzel was empowered to 'appoint a c o m m i t t e e to draft either a new law or an amendment to the present one so that alleged laxity whereby many children who ought to ho in school are now granted working pup<rs, shall he eliminated and the authority of the hoard of education to conduct, the preliminary in vest igat inns restored, | T n q u o s t i o n a h l y the administration of the child labor law in Detroit 10 day is better than the lavs' bseir," de d a r e d Fred M.
