EFFECT IS THAT OF FRAME Designs Seen So Far Have Been Charmingly Effective—Many Ways en Which It Can Be Arranged to Get Best Results— Blouses Without Belts. New York.--An actually new feature of fashion which the materials reflect, or possibly instigate, is the use of a turned-up hem, called a cu-ff hem, at the bottom of skirts, made of brilliant colors or plain fabrics, with tin Egyptian or Aztec design printed on them. There are many kinds of materials for these borders, and a woman can frame herself in, as it were, by bordering her skirt, cuffs, collar and waistline. All artists know the value of u frame. They realize that any arrangement of linos and colors needs a strong outline around it to co-operate its parts into a pleasing whole, and it 4s the artists who have constantly impressed upon women thai their costumes need some one strong note going around tke figure. At 4tist comes the border, to do this very thing. You yourself know the difference between an untrained and a framed picture. You know what striking character }s given to a small design of any kind by taking a bit of dark paper or a crayon and putting a line nrouyd it. Now, exactly this thin is b e i n g * - • startling u mutif as flying binia and butterflies.- Blouses Minus Sleeves. The kind of iiussiun blouse which 1» kept in fashion for the spring has un exceedingly ornamental belt placed ut the normal waistline. To begin with this lifting of the belt is a change from what we have been wearing. In ih'« medieval styles which have influenced us greatly for the last six months, there lias been an omission of the belt, or it has been placed at the hips; but the whole tendency of dress, as we get it from France this month, Is toward emphasizing the normal waistline for l the street and the empire waistline for 1 tlte house. j Mind you, the Hussian blouse, or any j kind of bodice that has an outside pepi lam, does not carry u belt that eoni tines the material at the waistiine and into the measurements of the figure; it carries a belt that is even in outline but merely takes in a bit of the fullness at the place where the waistline is arranged on the figure itself. This is an interesting development in clothes ami should not be missed by the woman who watches the small things. No Sleeves to Blouses. Another interesting feature Is that these Russian blouses are without sleeves. This is nothing new, but "its accentuation in these late styles shows that we will probably keep to the jumper effect. Even in house gowns there are sleeves of fine, ten-tinted muslin with llyzantine embroidery ut the cuffs, and a bit of a yoke, or rather, a line of the same material coming above the oblong flatness of the neckline. These sleeves and this piece done in fashion. A woman will be framed in with a sharp line of some dark or brilliant color. It need not be broad. A slender line does the work in an effective way. On Shantung, tussor, jersey silk and muslins, there will be a sharp, distinct frame made through a border of the same or another material in marked coloring. Where d t Is Most Effective. It is more important to put this ftriking frame around a gown which has designs on it, than around one made of plain fabric. Take, for in- This is a very new bit of millinery from Paris, which is a different version of the high hat from the one we know. It is all white, and the feathers riee to an amazing height. • stance, the new Shantung with the bold, crudely-colored Egyptian figures on it, and also that new weave of georgette crepe that the specialists are putting out, which has Its white surface covered with quantities of Btnall, flying birds in the Chinese design, all brilliantly colored; both these fabrics would make gowns appear fragmentary and unfinished—sketchy, as It were—if they did not have a frame of black, dark blue or dull red at all the edges to hold the design to* gether. Flying birds that have gone through all the art of China, and quivering butterflies flying In flocks, have been taken up by the designers in different ways. They are printed on the surface in a remarkable manner, in lines, in circles, and again as fragmentary bits of color, Irregularly placed- Even though the house of Callot usea materials with quivering butterflies In bine, black and yellow floating over the surface, such a material is not for every woman.

There are also blouses made of brilliant red .Shantung which are cut well out at the armholes, and rather high at the neck in the medieval line, and show an underpiece of black satin that comes well out over the armholes.

Since the advent of high priced and artistic evening coats, which are fittftd in at the shoulders through elaborate smocking done with silk threads in the same color ns the velvet or satin material, there has come about a revival of this primitive style of handwork. It has been used for three or four years on that wide assortment of so-called garden costumery that took women's fancy, but, as a means of ornamentation, it was not used on high priced, elaborate garments until Lanvtn and Cheruit took it up for velvet evening capes.

Sports skirts of white Jersey have quilted hems of scarlet, and quilted kangaroo pockets hanging from the Mdes of the three-quarter coats. This fititchery rivals smocking on the French gowns, and both of these methods of ornamenting a plain garment should suggest to the woman who sews at home, sion of oae of this variety, and, before an excellent way out of an patting money into these expensive I e v e P preSent difficulty. fabrics, it Is well to be quite stir* that4 ttu face and figure can carry off fo (Coayrlc&t, UI7, by tl» lfcClUf* Nawtpa- * MICHIGAN BREVITIES Ann Arbor—,Col.

Ever since the discovery of Scbcele in 1775 that uric acid waa found within t h e body—most eminent physicians agree that rheumatism is caused by it; also many distressing symptoms as headache, pain in back, stomach distress, swollen feet and tinkles, gout, etc. It was Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y., who discovered a new agent — called Anuric, a harmless remedy that if taken before meals will c a n y off the uric acid from the system and in this way the pains and arhes, the, creaky joints and all the dibtrcsHing symptoms of rheumatism and other maladies disappear. You can easily prove this yourself, b y obtaining Anuric a t almost a n y drug store, or send Dr. Pierce 10c. for trial package. Try it and be convinced that Anuric is many times more active than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot water melts sugar. W!TWIN THE REACH of r»vory w o m a n - health nnd stmnnth.

BUDGET REFORM IS URGED Sleeper Recommends More Up-to-Dat© Method of Handling Finances of Our State. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Lansing. Whether Michigan shall be "bone dry" or whether she shall be moistened with limited shipments will be decided by the people ol' the state at the spring election, April 2. This unlocked tor decision, was made- by the sub-committee of the joint house and senate liquor committee. The voters of the state can decide for themselves whether the state is to be bone dry or moist. Whether a majority of the people of Michigan voted last November merely to wipe out the saloons and still enjoy a limited use of liquor by means of importation, or whether they voted for the absolute death of liquor has been an issue in the legislature since the assembly of that body. The subject has been discussed almost continuously and the claims ha-Ve been sharply defined. Petitions from supporters of both sides signed by thousands of petitioners, have been received almost daily. Members have had piles of letters on the subject. Churches and church organizations, ministers and dry workers and leaders have written and petitioned on both sides. The result has been that instead of throwing light on the people's attitude, the agitation has merely defined the issue. The defeat of a "bone dry" constitutional amendment will in no wise effect the standing of the prohibition amendment adopted last November. This will continue in force. If a "bone dry" amendment is passed by t'"o people, it will merely add, in effect a prohibition on shipping liquor in o the state or having liquor in one's possession. Racing Bill Pigeonholed. The house had a lively time over Rep. Arthur Wood's bill to prevent the publication of entries and results of horse races. Rep. Wood passed the lie to Rep. Art- Woodruff when the latter-said Wood had said that he would get his picture on the first page of the papers if this bill passed. Wood declared that hi:? bill was aimed at handbook betting in cities, but Rep, Toepel declared that its only effect would be to keep Michigan papers from printing entries and results of races, while outside papers containing them could come in. The bill was practically killed by being referred to the judiciary committee. Many of the members were fearful that the bill, by specific exemption of trotting races from its scope, was giving official recognition to the racing game. Pure Food Bills. Rep. Taube, of Detroit, has introduced two important food bills. One would put under the food department every sort of establishment handling foods and making infractions of sanitary laws subject to heavy penalties. The other would compel cold storage houses to be registered and have annual licenses, is keep track of the entry of every packape into,cold storaye and to staihn it with the date. They stlso would be inspected every 30 days and be limited to five months log keeping food,, in storage. The food department coulQ nut grant them more than 60 days overtime uu this limit and goods once i.i and out of storage could not be returned- to storage again. Presidential Primary Law Repealed. The house made laM week notable In its record by passing the bill to repeal the presidential preference primary law, passed at tae special sessions in 1912. After some "kidding" over the race last spring between William Alden Smith and Henry Ford, the bouse voted 77 to 7 for the repeal. Special Message on Budget System. Gov. Albert E. Sleeper and the members of the legislature still have to come to an agreement as to huw Michigan is going to acquire a budget system for its financial affairs. With the eenate holding the D«*- Land-Roberts budget bill in committee and the house holding in another committee Rep. Foote's bill for a budget commission to study the subject, Gov. Sleeper has come out in favor of a thorough study of the budget problem and the passage of a law creating such a. system, based on the report of investigators. He has sent in a special message to both bouses urging that a commiasion of inquiry be named. Many of the legislators are of the opinion that they are just as competent now to pass a bill providing a budget as they would be after hearing from an investigating commission on the subject. The governor has obtained from Auditor General Fuller, who handle1* moat of the state's financial matters, a statement which backs up the governor's position and has incorporated it in his message to the legislature on the subject. In his statement, Mr. Fuller says: "I am in favor of adopting any policy or system that would in any way reduce the cost of the government of the state and not impair or interfere with the proper performance of the several necessary functions of government, and it may be that the budget system will reduce the amount expended each year, but as a budget system would materially change the present system of maintaining the state institutions, departments, boards and commissions, it will be necessary to amend pr repeal several of the existing laws before a budget syst&in will be operative. "The budget system would necessarily include a provision that fundi be drawn from the state treasury and should remain in Ihe treasury until i such time as they were needed for I the payment of claims. A clause in the law to the effect that funds shculd ; remain in the treasury until needed would not be sufficient without spe- ' cifically conferring upon some official the authority to determine the neces- 1 sity for drawing the funds. If the funds were drawn from the treasury as the law now provides, the object of the budget system would be defeated; therefore it will be necessary to amend or repeal the prsent accounting laws of the state. "Michigan has outgrown the system of appropriating money winch was adopted in the infancy of the slate and which has been continued. It ii not a businesslike proposition to deposit state funds in the treasuries of [ the state institutions. There should : be but one state treasury and the j funds of the state should remain in the treasury until it is necessary to j pay claims against the state, and it '• would be advisable to adopt a bud- < get system in order that the present ; method of expending state funds may j be placed on a business basis. But before the budget system becomes a j part Af our fiscal policy I would suggest that the system in force in other states be investigated and the opera- j tion of same be noted so that the defects, if any. r.uy he avoided in the lav/ that may be adopted in Michigan. ! "I believe that a committee should ; be appointed to make a thorough ex- < amination of the budget system m force in other states and to report to the legislature at this or next ses- ' sion; and it would also be advisable I to have a committee examine the prcs- ' ent laws with a view to removing ! the legal obstacles from the path of : the budget system that may be adopt- { ed." I These views are thoroughly indorsed ' by the governor in his remarks ap- { pended to the letter of the auditor general, the message of the governor concluding: i "I therefore recommend that legis- i lation be passed t y the legislature : for the appointment of a commissiono ; to be composed of men of high stand- j i i g and ability, and who are not mem- ; b*rs of the legislature to examine | thoroughly into the matters I have herein indicated and to report if prac- | tic*ble during the present session of ] the legislature, and if not, previous ! to tire next session of the legislature."

U-BOAT CAMPAIGN HAS LOST ITS STING TONNAGE SUNK BY GERMAN SUBMARINES SEEMS TO BE D I M I N I S H I N G . GUARD TO BE MUSTERED OUT Death of General Funston Will Affect Demobilization. Not FALLS SHORT OF WORK SET Was Expected to Stop All Shipping But Sea Traffic Is Moving As Before. New York—Predictions that Germany's ruthless U-boat campaign begun February 1 will fail are predicted upon the performances reported. The undertaking was eventually to stop all sea traffic, enemy and neutral, in "the great new war zone, and in the meantime to sink shipping at the rate of 1,000,000 tens a month, or 33,000 a day. The Germans have failed to approach the mark they set. Sea traffic is moving almost as before. But what seems really significant is that the toll of merchantmen, after having risen rapidly from 10 vessels of 13,000 tons February 1 to 14 vessels of 44,- 457 tons February C, has been steadily falling since. In the first eight days of February there were sunk 68 ships, aggregating 138,200 tons. In the next eight days there were sunk 42 ships, aggregating 87,450 tons. The conclusion seems irresistible that it has done its very worst. The unknown factor in the case is the mortality of U-boats. That is unreported. We have only a record of their deadliness which appears to be diminishing. Washington—Coincident with the reopening of the American embassy in Mexico the big army of national guardsmen that was concentrated on the border on account of bandit activities, will be in process of dissolution. Orders were issued by the war department directing General Funston to begin the immediate demobilization of all the guard units remaining in border camps, and it is expected that the last troop train will be on its way north by March 7. It was at first feared that the death The story of the wealth of Western Canada cannot be told too often; the truth will bear repeating*. And .In telling of it it is hoped that advantage will be taken of the great opportunities that Western Canada offers by those who are today struggling for a mere existence, by those who are oc* cupying lands, high In price and high In rentals. ' From grain, live stock and dairying In 1016, there was a return from the three Prairie Provinces of $253,000,000, or an increase of four million dollars over 1915, and 118 million dollars over 1014. j A prominent Trust Company says: Some of our contract holders have paid off their purchase money on lands bought a year ago out of this year's crop, and what one mnn can do another can do. Thousands of Southern Al- Derta farmers harvested an average of 40 to 50 bushels of No. 1 wheat to the acre. These fanners have more real money to spend than any other people on the American Continent. J. D. Johnston of Blads worth, Sask., left Johnson County, Kansas, seven years ago. When he left he had $660 in cash, six mules, some settler's effects and an equity in some prairie land. Mr. Johnston tells his story : "In my seven years' residence in Saskatchewan, I have raised seven good crops the value of this year's crop alone being Twenty thousand dollars. I now own Two Sections of imof General Funston would delay the j proved land, 17 horses and"mules," 40, departure of the troops but in line with this capable commander's custom practically all the details for the movement of the troops had alreadybeen worked out. Michigan troops still stationed on the border and affected by the new order, are the Thirty-third infantry, troops A and B of cavalry, of Detroit and South Haven, Batteries A and 13 of Lansing, the signal company of Ypsilanti, and the engineer company of Calumet. For eight months, almost to a day, the national guardsmen have done their tour of duty for varying lengths I of time at the Mexican line, supporti ing General Pershing. In all 150,000 guardsmen made the trip to the border, there are*&6.000 there to be affected by the last ordering home. There will still remain on , the border about 50,000 regulars to t continue the work of protecting the j line against Mexican raids. LECTURES FOR THE FARMERS GUARD WOULD AVOID WINTER M, A. C. Has Special Course Arranged for Week of March 5. East Lansing Moving pictures, demonstrating the use of farm machinery and operations involved in the] production of produce and stock will be employed by the Michigan Agricultural college during the week begining March 5, to force home the lessons of the tabloid college course for farmers. Lectures by well-known men and actual demonstrations of improved methods will also be used. One day will be devoted by the college to each of the "main agricultural subjects, so that a farmer who-hasn't time to attend for a week, but can come for a day, will be able to pick a topic that will be of most value to him. Tuesday will be given over to soils and crops; Wednesday will be dairy day; Thursday has been selected for stock, and Friday will be diided between horticulture and fruit growing.

El Paso, Tex.—Pending definite orders to move, Michigan guards ar? setting the departure of the regiment between the dates of March 10 and April 1. The announcement that a special effort will he made to have all troops out by March 7 is taken with a grain of salt by observers of past procedure in troop movements. Michigan has about 2,000 men hero and one part of them could leave in 24 hours so far as paper work is concerned. It may be the physical examinations will be taken here, ^ s some other units have done, in which case nothing would remain to be done at Fort Wayne but check up property and pay off, a matter of four or five days. Arrival in Michigan %bout April 1 would satisfy a large majority of the men. Now they are certain of going, a matter of two or three weeks more would not count.

All direct taxes are levied on the land nt its appraised market value, exclusive of improvements thereon. No tax on personal [ property. This tends to discourage ; the holding of lands by speculators J who prevent its cultivation or improvement, hoping to realize profits from the enhanced value of their holdiogs due to the industrial activities of the bona fide settlers. It tends to encourage the settlers to rear substantial improvements upon their land without paying { a penalty in the form of taxation I therefor. It encourages the raising of ! live stock and the possession of other j personal property necessary to the de- | velopment of the country. j "The laws are well and economically i administered.

I'm resting, dear, and thinking. Don't fret about me. When I feel able, I will come down to you." "As you will," he assented, unspeakably relieved; and returned to the kitchen. Sunset Interrupted, his thoughts —sunset and his wife. Sounds of someone moving quietly round the kit clan, a soft clash of dishes, the rattling of the grate,' drew him back to the door. She showed him a face of calm restraint and implacable resolve. "Ilu^ii"—her voice had found a new, yweet levul of gentleness and strength —"I just wanted to tell you how sorry J am. I've let you go without your lunch."' "Well," he admitted with a short laugh. -I'm famished !" She paused, regarding him with her whimsical, indulgent smile. "You Grange c r e a t u r e ! " she said softly. 'Are you angry with me—impatient— .'or this too facile descent from heroics to the commonplace? Be patient with mo, dear." Hut, alarmed by his expression, her words stumbled and ran out. She stopped back a pace, a little flushed and tremulous. '•Hugh : No, Hugh, n o ! " "I.'ou't be afraid of me," he said, fuming away. "I don't mean to bother. Only—at times—" "I know, d e a r ; but it must not be." '"Shall you make a tire again tonight?" she nsTTed, when they had concluded the meal. "In throe places," he said. "We'll not slay another day for want of letting people know we're here. I'll go now. When you are ready—?" "I shan't be long," she said. When it was quite dark, W h i t a k e r brought a lantern to the door and .•'ailed her, and they went forth together. As lie had promised, he had built op three towering pyres, widely apart. When all three were in full roaring ilame, their illumination was hot and glowing over all the upland. It f>ecmed impossible that the world should not now become cognizant of their distress. At some distance to the north of ihe greatest fire—that nearest the farm-house—they sat as on the previous nigh',, looking out over the black and unresponsive waters, communing together in undertones. In t h a t hour they learned much of one a n o t h e r ; much that had seemed s t r a n g e and questionable assumed, in the u m h r s t n u d i n g of each, the completion of the normal and right. Whitaker spoke at tength and in much detail of his Willful Missing y e a r s without seeking to excuse the wrong-minded reasoning which had won him his own consent to live under the mask of d e a t h . He told of the motives t h a t had prompted his r e t u r n , of all t h a t had happened since in which she ha*5 had no part—with a single reservation.

He learned of the coming of Max, his Interest in her, the indefatigable pains he had expended coaching her to b r i n g out the latent ability his own genius- divined; of the Initial performance of "Joan Thursday" before a m e a g e r and Indifferent audience, her i n s t a n t t r i u m p h and subsequent conquest of the country in half a dozen widely dissimilar roles; finally of her decision to leave the stage when siri* married, fof reasons comprehensible. demanding neither exposition nor defence. "It doesn't m a t t e r any longer,*' she commented, concluding: "I loved and I hated it. It was deadly and it was glorious. But it no longer matters. It is finished; Sara Law Is no more." "You mean never to go back to the stage r "Never." "And yet—" he mueed craftily. - N e v e r r She fell blindly into hU "But you are no wife," he countered. "Dear, you a r e cruel to m e ! " "1 think it's you who would be cruel to yourself, dear h e a r t " "I think," she announced, "we'd better go in." She rose without assistance, moved away toward the house, paused and returned. "Hugh," she said gently, with a quaver in her voice that wounded his conceit in himself; for he was sure it spelled laughter at his expense and well-merited—"Hugh, you big sulky boy! get up this instant and come back to the house with me. You know I'm timid. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" "I suppose so," he grumbled, rising. "I i w s u m e it's childish to want the moon—and sulk when you find you can't have it." "Or a s t a r ? " He made no r e p l y ; but his very silence was e l o q u e n t They entered the kitchen. "Something'll have to be d o n e ; If they won't help us, we'll have to help ourselves." " H u g h ! " There was alarm in her tone. He looked up quickly. "Hugh, what are you thinking of?" "Oh—nothing. But I've got to think of something." She came nearer, Intuitively alarmed and pleading. "Hugh, you wouldn't leave me here alone?" "Don't be afraid," he said evasively. "I'll be here—as always—when you wake up." ~ She d i s a p p e a r e d ; the light of her lamp faded, flickering in the draught of the hall, stencilled the wall with Its evanescent c a r i c a t u r e of the balustrade, and was no longer visible. " H u g h ! " her voice rang from the upper floor. He started violently out of deep abstraction, and replied Inquiringly. "You won't forget to lock the door?" He swore violently beneath his b r e a t h ; controlled his tamper and responded p l e a s a n t l y : "Certainly not." Then he shut the outside door with a convincing bang. "If this be m a r r i a g e . . . !" He smiled his twistetl smile. Leaving the kitchen light turned low, he went to his own room and, as on the previous night, t k r e w himself upon the bed without undressing; but this time with no thought of sleep. Indeed, he had no expectation of closing his eyes in slumber before the next night, at the earliest; he had no intention other t h a n to attempt to swim to the nearest land. An hour dragged out Its weary length, nnd the half of another. He rose, with Infinite precaution against making any noise. Slowly, on tiptoes, W h i t a k e r stole toward the door, out Into the hall, took a single step on toward the kitchen; and then, piercing suddenly the absolute stillness within the house, a board squealed like an animal beneath his t r e a d . Ip an instant he heard t h e thud and p a t t e r of her footsteps above, her loud, quickened b r e a t h i n g as she leaned over the balustrade, looking down, end her cry of dismay: "Hugh! H u g h ! " He halted, saving in an even voice: "Yes, it is I." She had always seen him; there was n^ use trying to get away without her knowledge now; besides, he was no sneak-this^ to fly from a cry. He burned with resentment, Impatience and Indignation, but he waited stolidly enough while the woman flew down the stairs to hii side. "Hugh," she demanded, white-faced and trembling, "what is the matter? Where are you going?" He moved his shoulders uneasily, forcing a short laugh. "I daresay you've guessed it. Undoubtedly you have.

"I've done my best, Mary. I meant to do the right thing. I—" "Hugh, you mean you won't go?" Joy from a surcharged heart rang vibrant In every syllable uttered in that marvelous voice. But now he dared meet her eyes. "Yes," he said, "I won't go—" nodding, with an apologetic shadow of his twisted smile. "I can't if . . . it distresses you." "Oh, my dear, my d e a r ! " Whitaker started, staggered with amaze, and the burden of his wife in his arms. Her own a r m s clipped him close. Her fragrant, tear-gemmed face brushed his. He knew at last the w a r m t h of her sweet mouth, the dear madness of that first caress. Then through the magical hush of that time when the world stood still, the thin, clear vibrations of a distant hail : "Aho-oy '." In his embrace his wife stiffened and lifted her bead to listen like a startled fawn. "Listen!" Lie hold up his hand. This time it rang out mere near and most u n m i s t a k a b l e : "Ahoy! The house, a h o y ! " With the frenzied leap of a madman, Whitaker flung 'out into the dim, ailvery witchery of the night. He stood staring, while the girl stole to his side and caught his arm. He passed it round her, lifted the other hand, dumbly pointed toward the northern beach. For the moment he could not trust himself to speak. In the sweep of the anchorage a small, white yacht hovered ghostlike. On the beach itself a small boat was drawn up. A figure in white waited near it. Rising over the brow of the uplands moved two other figures in white and one in darker clothing, the latter leading the way at a rapid pace. As they drew together, the leader of the landing party checked his pace and called : "Hello t h e r e ! Who are_ you? What's the meaning of your fires—?" Mechanically Whitaker's lips uttered the beginning of the r e s p o n s e : "Shipwrecked—signaling for help—" " W h i t a k e r ! " the voice of the other interrupted with a jubilant shout. "Thank God we've found you !" It was Ember. C H A P T E R X V I I . Disappearance. Seldom, perhaps, has a habitation been so unceremoniously vacated as was the solitary farmhouse on that isolated Island. Whitaker delayed only long enough to place a bill, borrowed from Ftnber, on the kitchen table, in payment for what provisions they had consumed, and to extinguish the lamps and shut the door. Ten minutes later he occupied a chair beneath an awning on the after deck of the yacht, and, with a blessed cigar fuming in the grip of his teeth, stared back to where their rock of refuge was swiftly blending into a small dark blur upon the face of the waters. "Ember," he demanded querulously, "what the devil is t h a t place?" "You didn't k n o w ? " Ember asked, amused. "It is No Man's Land." "I'm strong for Its sponsors In baptism. And the other—?" "Martha's Vineyard. T h a t ' s Gay head—the headland with the lighthouse. Off to the north of it, the Elizabeth Islands. If we're lucky, we'll be at anchor off E a s t Twentyfourth street by nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Any kick coming?" • "Not for me. You might better consult— my wife," said Whitaker with an embarrassed laugh. "Look here: Tve told yon bow things were with us, in brief; but Tm hanged^W you've disgorged a tingle word of explanation as to how you came to let Drummond slip through your fingers, to say nothing of how yon managed to find us," "He didn't slip through my Angers," Ember retorted- "He launched a young earthquake at my devoted head and disappeared before the dust settled. I came to some time later with a gag In my mouth, handcuffs on ray wrists, behind my back, and rope round my legs. Midnight the following night, the owner happened along and let me loose. "It was easy enough to surmise Drummond had some pal or other working with him—1 was slungshot* ted from behind, while Drummond was walking ahead. And two men had worked in the kidnaping of Mrs. Whitaker. So I went sleuthing; traced yon as far a s Sag Harbor. There4ri lost yon—and there 1 borrowed thA outfit from a friend, an old-time <§Tent of mine. We kept cruising, looking op on the point of throwing up t h e sponge jrvheu J picked up u schooner t h a t reported signal tires ou No Muu'i Land. . . . 1 think that clears everything up." "Yes," said Whitaker sleepily. And so strong was his need of sleep that It wus not until ten o'clock the tollowing morning, when the yacht lay ut her mooring in the East river, that lumber succeeded in rousing him by main strength and good-will. His wife had gone ashore an hour ugo, after refusing to listen to a suggestion that Whitaker be disturbed. The note Ember handed him was brief, but in Win taker's sight eminently adequate and compensating. Dourest B o y : I won't let chern vvak« you. but ! must run a w a y . It's early and 1 must do s o m e shopping before people rtre about.

Whitaker took a serene and shining face to the breakfast in the saloon, under the eyes of Ember. Toward noon they parted ashore, each taking a tuxlcub to his lodgings. The understanding was that they were to dine together—all three, Whitaker promising for his wife upon the morrow. ( T O B E C O N T I N U E D . ) FRUfT IAXHNE COMBINATION SURE TO WIN With Ideas and Industry Ninety Men Out of Every • Hundred Will Achieve Success. Some self-conceited philosopher has said that genius is nothing but an intinite capacity for untiring application. It would seem that this attempt to detine genius would apply more appropriately lo talent. It is also an obvious fact that many people, thoughtful otherwise, use language loosely. We would think' the remark quoted above a case in point, observes the Los Angeles Times. There is no doubt that talent, to make itself effective, requires untiring effort and unlimited application. Given talent and application, success Is sure to follow hi any man's career. Many of us a r e w r y much Inclined to tind fault with society and lay all our failure to succeed at its door. L'oeiety is not a concrete fact. It Is simply an abstraction invented lo represent humanity in the aggregate. Nature has been very niggardly in her gifts to many of us, and where this is so no amount of effort, no matter how continuously it is applied can lead to large success, Those who find fault with society as the cause of their failure are wrong, (liven a fair amount of talent—that is, brains—and untiring' application, and success will be achieved, ninety-nine times out (f every hundred. This may be proved by reference to any walk In life to which human beings apply themselves to reach success.

It is getting to be a long drawn out story, the way that Western Canadian farmers have made money. Many of them a few years ago, came to the country with little more than their few household effects, probably a team of horses and a cow or two, and sufficient money to do them for a few months, until they got a start. Hundreds of such can be pointed out, who today have splendid homes, well equipped farms, the latest machinery and an automobile. Here is the case of A. E, Merriam, formerly of Devil's Lake, N. D. He didn't leave there because the land was poor, or farming not a success, for all who know that country are aware that it is an excellent country. He wanted to expand, to take advantage of the cheap land that Western Canada offers. And that same story has appealed to hundreds of others who have had like success with Mr. Merriam. But his story, and he signs it, too, i s : "I came to Alberta in the Spring of 1909 from Devil's Lake, North Dakota, locating on my farm near Dalroy. "I arrived with six head of horses and two head of cattle and about $1,500. Since then, I have increased my live stock to seven head, of horses, four head of cattle, and about one hundred head of hogs, a four-roomed house, good barn with all modern Improvements, a feed grinder, elevator, chopper, fanning mill, etc. I have increased my original capital at least four times more since coming here. "From the feeding of hogs during the last year, I had a gross return of $5,000. "I first started grain farming, but during the past four years I have made hogs my specialty, and you may see by the foregoing statement for 1916 that I have not done so badly. "Land has increased at least twenty per cent in value during the past few years, now selling for from $25 to $35 per acre, w l ^ nominal taxes of about $27 a quarter section yearly. "The climate here Is better than Dakota in that we do not have so much dry wind; the winters are similar to Dakota. "As for farming in general, the growing and feeding of live stock Is more sure than the grain farming, if continued year after year, and if every farmer follows this he will be ahead of the grain growers in the long run. Taking everything Into consideration, I feel satisfied with my success In Alberta." (Sgd.) A. E. MERRIAM. Dalroy, Alberta, .Tan. 12th, 1917. There will be the greatest demand for farm labor in Western Canada during the early spring, and, in fact, all season until November, and the highest wages will be pRid. There Is an absolute guarantee by the Canadian Government that those who go to Canada for this purpose need have no fear of conscription.—Advertisement. TO EQUIP MILITIA IN EVENT OF WAR L E G I S L A T U R E W O U L D G U A R D M E N A G A I N S T S H O R T A G E OF N E C E S S I T I E S . RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED Federal Government should Provide Equipment but Solons Want Men to Have Every Comfort. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Lansing. If there la danger of war and Michigan troops are to be called into service, the house of representatives wishes to save thorn from the consequences of equipment shortages and other lacks that have occurred on j previous occasions when the federal ! government was supposed to havejproj- vided for the comfort and safety of the men. The- note took the form of a resolution, offered by Rep. Lemire, in which the adjutant general of the state troops, Major Bersey, is asked for information of the troops. Major Bersey, however, is not in position to give much Information because the Michigan brigade is split between the home stations and the border. The companies that have returned from the border have not yet completed their accounts, and the government has now on hand some supplies that would be distributed immediately if the troops were needed. Moreover the state, under the new militia act, has nothing to do with the personal equipment of the men. Everything is supposed to be furnished by the federal government. Representative Lemire's idea is that if such conditions as prevailed at Grayling part of the time, could be known in advance, the state could take steps to see that the men were Baved from any suffering. Such work by the Btate, however, would be unofficial as far as the federal government is concerned. The resolution was adopted unanimously and without a word of debate. Members declared freely that if Michigan's soldiers were to be called again, they should go with every comfort possible. This Is Palm Beach.

The definite rlgliv-otway by which the Pennsylvania rallroal will enter the city of Detroit was disclosed, when Attorney Henry E. Bodraan, general counsel for the new railroad, filed with the Michigan railroad commission articles of association of the Pennsylvania Detroit Railroad Co., a $5,000,000 corporation, which will build a line between Toledo and Detroit over which the Pennsylvania will run Its traffic. Prom Toledo the new road will build its tracks to the Michigan state line, crossing it at a point just east of the Ann Arbor railroad's line into Ohio. From there the new road will run north through Monroe county to Carleton, Ash township, then through the townships of Huron, Brownstown, Taylor and Ecorse, through the village of Oakland and thence Into Detroit. On the question of the Issuance of the $5,000,000 capital stock and its sale, the railroad commission alone Is the sole judge and on this matter a hearing will be held before the commission Maroh 15. At this time the entire plans of the new road will be laid before the commission. Customary Adjournment Talk. With the coming of the month of March the usual talk among the legislators at this stage of a legislative session in relation to determininig on a date for adjournment of the session, has begun. A house resolution has been offered and laid on the table that seeks adjournment of regular business sessions on March 80. No one believes that this can be accomplished, but all a r e operating on the theory that the presence of such a resolution will help to jpeed up legislative workin the senate Lieut Gov. Dickinson has asked the senators to get busy with their committee work and so facilitate work on the floor of the senate. New Bills Introduced. Rep. Wood has in trod need a bill to abolish t h e office of state oil inspector. Rep. Lewis has introduced a bill to extend the time for the payment of state taxes to Feb. 20 of each year. Bills have appeared In the house and senate for the creation of the position of Public Relief Officer, to work under the state hoard of charities and correction and koep tab on all public charitiea, getting annual report! on what each has done and is teteg O. 8. 8. & A. Case Continued. The attorney general s department ia not goinjj to rebt coiueat with the ttndings of Special Master Baker In thti federal court district at Detroit that the Michigan 2 cent fare law ia contlbcatory as applying to the Duluth South Shore &. Atittniic railroad. It ha> arranged to continue the taking of testimony and bring Lh« casu up to date. Special Mabtwr Baker's nudingo w«r* based on testimony up to June. 1916. A. B. Eldredjje, attorney for the South Shore, has agreed with the attorney general's force to continue Lhe taking of testimony and it ia ex pected that it can be completed within three months. The whole case then will be argued out before United States District Judge .Sessions in Grand Kapide. Whatever the decision there it Is expected that the case will go to the United States supreme court for final decision. Amendments to Election Laws. Election matters are getiing mucn attention in tne senate these days. One senate bill has been reported out of committee that provides for the direct election of delegates to national party conventions, instead of their selection in Btate conventions. It also provideB that the delegates he paid $50 each for their services to their parties in attending t h e conventions. Another election amendment hill seeks to change the time of t h e state primaries, held every two years, from the last Tuesday in August to the first Tuesday in September. Campaigners who would like to have more trme for the campaign than the present primary law allows them wanted the election held earlier in August, hut farmer members of the senate objected that such a change would bring the election at harvest time and thi3 objection appears to have killed the early primary date. House Opposes Pensions. The house has gone on record as opposed to pensions. It voted 83 to 3 for the Evans bill prohibiting pen. sions to retired state employes, while its committees have killed the proposed pensioning of circuit judges after 25 years' service, and other pension proposals. Efforts to obtain salary raises for numerous state employes also are having hard sledding. The department of labor bill sought In. creases all along the line for its force, starting with a $5,000 salary for the commissioner and grading down on the others. The senate committee has reduced the commissioner's proposed salary to $3,500 and bis deputy's proposed salary to $2,500. 8tat« Fuel Commissioner Proposed. A bill to create a state fuel commissioner, who will wath the coal situation In behalf of the whole state and be prepared to expedite shipments to all parts of Michigan, has been Introduced by Rep. Andrew F. Toepel, of Detroit. The Soldier'B Home at Grand Rapids is seeking an extra appropriation of $2,500 to build a coal house for the storage of fuel, so that it will not again be In danger of freezing up in the winter months. Joint resolutions have been introduced In the senate and In t h e house calling for a constitutional amendment to allow cities to own and ope rate municipal fuel yards. Railroads Seek Fare increase. A bill from railroad sources aeekng an increase in passenger fare rates from 2 cents a mile to 2 1-2 cents in the lower peninsula and 3 cents in the upper peninsula has been offered and is sure to start a battle royal, the same as it did two years ago. Now the roads state they are making an appeal to the people for Justice; that they have nothing to sell except transportation and are held down to a low rate on that which is not subject to change, while everything they need to conduct their business has sky' rocketed n price. Change in Game Law. The first battle over the game laws wound up in the passage by both the senate and the house of the zone bill for closed seasons at different times in various parts of the state. Under this bill, if one or more counties want certain game protected, the game department, on petition of the supervisors of the counties concerned, can hold a hearing and afterwards, if the situation warrants and the public domain commission approves, can order a closed season in the district desirinf i t Pure Booze Bill. Rep. Culver, for the state food department, has introduced a bill to give the food commissioner power to see that no adulterated liquors are brought into the state for medicinal, sacramental, mechanical, scientific or chemical purpose* after t h e state 'goes dry. This Is the "pure boose" bill which former Food Commissioner "Jim" Helme says win be needed more in a dry state than in a wet state.

No other man has ever known or ever will. But I had to tell you the truth. It seems that the only thing toy career had left uncalloused waa my fundamental sense of honesty. So I had to come and tell you." And still he held silence, attentive, but with a set face that betrayed nothing of the tenor of his thoughts. Almost timidly, with nervously fumbling fingers, she extracted from her pocketbook a small ticke. ei»v-"->pe. "Ma* was afraid you imj^r upset the performance again, as you &id on my last appearance, Ilugh," she said; "but I assured him it was just the shock of recognizing you that bowled me over. So I've brought you a box for tomorrow night. I want you to use It—you and Mr. Ember." He broke in with a curt monosyllable: " W h y r "Why—why because—because I want you—I suppose It's simply my vanity— to see me act. Perhaps you'll feel a little less hardly toward me If you see *that I am really a great actress, that I give you up for something bigger than just love—" "What rot!" he said with an odd, short laugh. "Besides, I harbor no resentment." She stared, losing a little color, eyes darkening with apprehension. "I did hope you'd come," sh*e murmured. "Oh, I'll come," he said with spirit "Wild horses couldn't keep me away." "Really, Hugh? And you don't mind? Oh, I'm so glad 1" "I really don't mind," he assured her with a strange smile. "But . . . would you mind excusing me one moment? I've forgotten something very Important." "Why, certainly . . . " He was already at the telephone in the hallway, just beyond the livingroom door.

The hall door slammed before he could reach I t CHAPTER X I X . Ore Way O u t Toward eight In the evening, after a day-long search through ail his accustomed haunts, Ember'ran Whitaker to earth In the dining room of the Primordial, The young man, alone at table, was in the act of topping off an excellent dinner with a still more excellent cordial and a superexcellent cigar. He wore rough tweeds, and they were damp and baggy; his boots were muddy; his hair was a trifle disorderly. The ensemble made a figure wildly incongruous to the soberly splendid and stately dining hall of the Primordial club, with Its sparse patronage of members in evening dress. Ember, himself as severely beautiful In black and white as the ceremonious livery of today permits a man to be, was wonder-struck at sight of Whitaker in such unco Liven tional guise, at such a time, In such a place. With neither invitation nor salutation, he slipped into a chair on the other side of the table, and stared. Whitaker smiled benignantly upon him, and called a waiter. Ember, always abstemious, lifted his hand and smiled a negative smile. Whitaker dismissed the waiter. "Well . . . ?" he inquired cheerfully. "What right have you got to look like that?" Ember demanded. "The right of every free-born American citizen to make an ass of himself according to the dictates of his conscience. Tve been exploring the dark backwards and abysm of the Bronx— afoot. Got caught In the rain on the way home. Was late getting back, and dropped in here to celebrate." 'Tve been looking for you everywhere, since morning." "I suspected you would be. That's why I went walking—to be lonesome and thoughtful for once In a way." Ember stroked his chin with thoughtf u l fingers. "You've heard the news, then?" "In three ways," Whitaker returned, with calm. "How's that—three ways?" "Through the newspapers, the billboards, and from the lips of my wife." Ember opened his eyes wide. "You've been to see her?" "She called this morning—" But Ember interrupted, thrusting a ready and generous hand across the table: "My dear man, I am glad I" Whitaker took the proffered hand readily and firmly. "Thank you. . . . I was saying: she called this morning to inform me t h a t though wedded once, we must be strangers now—and evermore!" "But you—of course—yon argued that nonsense out of her head." "To the contrary—again." "But—my dear man I—you said <you were celebrating; you permitted me to congratulate you Just now—H "The point Is," said Whitaker, with a bland and confident grin; "I've succeeded in arguing that nonsense out of my head—not hers—mine." Ember gave a helpless gesture. T m afraid this is one of my stupid nights . . ." "I mean t h a t though Mary ran away from me, wouldn't listen to reason, I have, in the course of an afternoon's hard tramping, come to the conclusion that there is nothing under the sun which binds me to sit back and accept whatever treatment she purposes according me by courtesy of Jules Max." Whitaker bent forward, his countenance discovering a phase of seriousness hitherto masked by his twisted smile. "1 mean Tm tired of all this poppycock. Unless I'm an Infatuated ass, Mary loves me with all her h e a r t She has made up her mind to renounce me partly because Max has worked upon her feelings by painting some lurid picture of his Imminent artistic and financial damnation if she leaves him, partly because she believes, or has been led to believe, In this 'destroying angel' moonshine. Now she's got to listen to reason. So, likewise. Max." "You're becoming more ^nman word by word," commented Ember with open approval. "Continue; elucidate; I can understand how a fairly resolute lover with the gift of gab can talk a weak-minded, fond female Into denying her pet superstition; but bow you're going to get, around Max pa a n a my comprehension. The man unqnesttonably has ber under contract--" "But yon forgot his god Is Mammon," Whitaker p«t ta. **M«* will to anything in the world for money. Taffeta resides the ksraei of m j pftam, It's simplicity lu*erf : 1 ai suing, to buy him." "Buy Max I" "Body—artistic soul—and breeches," Whitaker affirmed confidently. "Impossible I" "You forget how well fixed I am. What's the use ot my owning half ths gold In New Guinea. If It won't buy me what I already o\v*i by every moral and legal right?" "He won't listen to you; you don't know Max." "I'm willing to lay you a small bet that there will be no tirst performance at the Theater Max tomorrow night." "You'll never persuade him—" 'I'll buy the show outright and my wife's freedom to boot—or else Max will begin to accumulate the local color of a hospital ward." Ember smiled grimly. "You're boginning to convince even me. When, may I ask, do you propose to pull off this sporting proposition?" "Do you know where Max can be found tonight?" "At the theater—" "Then the matter will be arranged at the theater between this hour and midnight" "I doubt if you succeed in getting the ear of the great man before midnight; however, I'm not disposed to quibble about a few hours," "But why shouldn't I?" "Because Max is going to be the busiest young person In town tonight And that Is why I've been looking for you. . . . Conforming to his custom, he's been giving an advance glimpse of the production to the critics and a few friends In the form of a final grand dress rehearsal tonight Again, In conformance with his custom, he has honored me with a bid. I've been chasing you all day to rind out if you cared to go—" "Eight o'clock and a bit after," Whitaker interrupted briskly, consulting his watch. "Here, boy," he hailed a passage page; "call a taxlcab for toe." And then, rising alertly: "Come along; I've got to hustle home; and make myself look respectable enoush for the occasion; but at that, with luck, I fancy we'll be there before the first curtain." This mood of faith, of self-reliance and assured optimism held unruffled throughout the dash homeward, his hurried change of clothing and the ride to the theater. Nothing that Ember, purposely pessimistic, could say or do availed to diminish the high buoyancy of his humor. He main- " I Am Afraid of. You." tained a serene faith In his star, a spirited temper that refused to recognize obstacles in the way of his desire. In the taxlcab, en route to the Theater Max, he contrived even to distil a good omen from the driving autumnal downpour itself. "On such a day as this," he told his doubting friend, "I won her first; on such a day I shall win, her Anew, finally and for all time I. . . . Prom Broadway to Sixth avenue.

And even this he chose to consider a favorable omen <* tf watt M t sow a paalte t* ess* between hi in uud Ins iove—only Mai and her frightened fancies.

Black Out The auditorium was In almost toirw darkness. A single voice was audlblt from the stage that confronted It like some tremendous, moonlight canvas in a huge frame of tarnished gold. They stole silently round the orchestra seats to the stage-box—the same box that Whitaker had on the former occasoin occupied in company with Max. They succeeded In taking possession without attracting attention, either from the owners of that scanty scattering of shirt bosoms In the orchestra —the critical fraternity and those Intimates bidden by the munager to the first glimpse of his new revelation in stagecraft—or from those occupying the stage. The lutter were but two. Evidently, though the curtnln hud boon up for some minutes the nction of the piece had not yet ^-een permitted to begin to unfold. WhTtaker inferred that Max had been dissatisfied with something about the lighting of the scene. The manager was standing in mid-stage. staring up at the borders—a stout and pompous figure, tenacious to every detail of that public self which he had striven so successfully to make unforgettably Individual; a figure quaintly Incongruous in his Impeccable morning coat and striped trousers and flatbrimmed silk hat, perched well back on his head, with his malacca stick and lemon-colored gloves and small and excessively glossy patent-leather shoes, posed against the counterfeit of a moonlit formal garden.

SMOOTH'S NEAT GETAWAY Insurance Agent With Keen Eye to Business Came Near "Putting His Foot In I t " Slipping on an untenanted banana skin, the homely young woman sat on the pavement with an unmusical splash. With efficient presence of mind, Eustace Smooth, agent for the General and Particular Insurance company, slipped on another peel and sat down beside her, with two muttered curaes. "Accidents will happen on the best regulated pavements, won't they?" ho observed with a snarl. "Oh, well, luckily I happen to be an Insurance agent, and I can Insure you agakist slipping on banana peelings or even on a cake of ice for the small sum of $14 a week, and the first time you slip after being Insured, one of our automobiles, with absolutely no advertising matter on the outside, will take you homo for $7.29, or, If you prefer, to any old hospital." "The idea!" scoffed the enraged woman, "It's too muchl" "But think of the- risk we run," pursued Smooth. "Now, other kinds of insurance, such as Insurance against being bitten by wild beasts, come as low as $1V a month." "I'll take one of them," she said promptly. "I always was a great one for bargains." And she handed him her card, which read: "Mile. Kutle, Wild Animal Trainer, Lions, Tigert and "Leopards a Specialty." "Excuse me a moment I gotta set a man," stammered Eustace Smooth. PAIN? NOT A BIT! LIFT YOUR CORNS OR CALLUSES OFF No humbug! Apply few drops then Just lift them away with fingers. This new drug is an ether compound discovered by a Cincinnati chemist.. It is called freezone, and can now be obtained in tiny bottles as here showu at very little cost from any drug store. Just ask for freezone. Apply a drop or two directly upon u tender corn or callus and instantly the soreness disappears. Shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that you can lift It off, root and all, with the fingers. Xot a twinge of pain, soreness or Irritation; not even the slightest smartling, either when applying freezone or afterwards. This drug doesn't cat up the corn or callus, but shrivels them so they loosen and come right out. It Is no humbug; It works like a charm, f o r a few cents you can get rid of every hard corn, soft corn or corn between the toes, as well as painful calluses on bottom of your feet. It never disappoints and never burns, bites or inflames. If your druggist hasn't any freezone y e t tell him to get a little bottle for you from his wholesale house.—adv. - Heard on the Train.

What the Doctor Um KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO INSURE HEALTH. Listen to the Upllfter. We think rural people are pretty good-natured, especially" when the Chautauqua comes to town. There's always a man there who comes on the platform and scolds the audience. He usually calls himself a community expert, or a "town doctor," or something of the kind. He is almost as bad as an editor about giving advice, and Isnl haW as polite about i t If we scolded yon as frankly as a recent town doctor, that we happened to hear, scoldes* his audience, yon wotild probably say "Stop my paper." Yet the audience was paying the town doctor for telling them what misguided mutts they were Probably he told them the troth. In th« main—or what seemed to be the truth —and maybe It was good for their souls, as he declared. It seems almost pathetic to us, sometimes, this eager ness with which we benighted country folk-will sit at the feet of the nptt/ter who comes from afar to point oat ooV faults and tell us how to remedy there Tet we could probably get the uptlftet on a bench and stand up on the pint form and roast him just as delight <srtlj and truthfully *» he has been roasfin* us.

The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work Eroperly, the other organs cannot readily e brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics. Bright's Disease, which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one year, in the Stats of New York slow. Therefore, rt is particularly necessary to pay more attention to the health of these important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a' kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. The mild and healing influence of this preparation, in most eases, is soon realizea, seeoraing to sworn statements sad verified testimony of those who have used the remedy. yottr kidneys require attention, get Swamp-Root at once from any pharmacy. It is sold by every diagaist in bottles of two sues—We and H4W. However, if yon wish first to test tMs great preparation send tea seats to Dr. Kihner t Co., Bbgaasttoa, N. Y., for a sample bottle.

Novel Egg-Boiler. Every American household likes Its boiled eggs at breakfast, but nobody enjoys cooking them. However, some self-sacrificing member of the family must always jump up and leave his own food to cool while, watch in hand he concentrates over the boiling process. Now a device has been invented which will change all this. It is an egg-shaped hot water bottle, suspended over nn alcohol lamp, one section of which contains just enough alcohol to boil an egg hard and the other Just enough to boil it soft. The eggs are tente allies defeated; Germany and her allies triumphant and in world domination by the instrument of unrestricted warfare.

What congress will do, and how members of congress who openly have sympathized with Germany in their opposition to clothing the president with full authority to protect American rights will regard the revelation of Germany's machinations to attack the United States is the subject of the keenest interest. Such a proposal as Germany instructed her minister to make to Mexico borders on an act of war, if, actually, It is not one. No doubt exists here now that the persistent reports during the last two years of the operations of German agents not alone in Mexico but all through Central America and the West Indies are based on fact. There is now no doubt whatever that the proposed alliance with Mexico was known to high Mexican officials who are distinguished for their anti-Americanism. Among them a r e Kafael Zubaran, Carranza's minister to Germany, and Luis Cabrera, Carranza's minister of finance. The Hand of Mexico. It is apparent that the proposal had taken definite form when Zubaran returned to Mexico City from Berlin recently.

CLARK. Washington, March 5.—In taw presence of maay thoesanda of bis fellow citizens, Woodrow "Vilaon today, for the second time, was inducted Into the office of president of the United States. Just before that ceremony Thomas R. Marshall took the outh aa vice president, also for the second time. For several nights prior to the inauguration, Washington was a flood of light. came to the capital of their nation from all over the United States to witness the ceremonies attending the inauguration. The situation of the country in reference to its foreign relations added more than a touch of seriousness and a distinct flavor of patriotism to the entire proceedings. Washington is a city of flags at all times, but it became ten times a city of flags one day before the ceremonies of inauguration. President Wilson drove from the White House to the capitol with his wife at his side. In the carriage with him were two members of the congressional committee which had general charge of the ceremonies, and of which Senator Overman of North Carolina is chairman. Vice President Marshall, with Mrs. Marshall in the carriage with him, was escorted in like manner to the capitol. Big Crowds, Many Flags. From an early hour the sidewalks were crowded with persons waiting to nee the president and "the first lady of the land" pass along the avenue to the place of the oath-taking. All the windows commanding a view of Pennsylvania avenue also were crowded with onlookers. The red, white and ' blue was everywhere in evidence. The only foreign flags to be seen in Washington were those flying from the flagpoles of the foreign embassies and legations which, even though they are located in the city of Washington, are recognized as being foreign territory, [ About the capitol there was an enqr- 1 mous crowd of people, who had begun ; to assemble shortly after daybreak. A j dozen bands stationed on the streets approaching the legislative building I played through the morning hours. The ! organizations which were to take part In the parade which started immediately after the taking of the oath by the president assembled on the streets leading to the capitol in order to be ready instantly to fall into their places in line. ! Vice President Takes the Oath. ! Vice President Marshall ~ a s resworn Into office before the inauguration of the president The exercises took place in the senate chamber. The legislative day of March 3, so far as the senate was concerned, had been continued by recesses until the hour of 12 noon of the calendar day March 5. The president pro tempore of the senate presided at the ceremonies preceding {he administering of the oath to the vice president-elect The president of the United States, the members of the cabinet the foreign ambassadors and other notable guests occupied seats In the senate chamber. At twelve o'clock the president pro tempore administered the oath of office prescribed by law to the rice president-elect Immediately following the taking of the oath of office by Mr. Marshall, the newly elected senators of the United States were sworn into oHice. Then the vice president made this announcement: "The sergeant-at-arms of the senate will carry out the order of the senate for the Inauguration of the president of the United States." The president-elect accompanied by the chief justice of the United States, the joint committee on arrangements, the associate justices of the Supreme Court the foreign ambassadors and ministers plenipotentiary, the members of the'senate, preceded by the vice president and secretary of the senate, the holdover members of the house of representatives, preceded" by the officers of the house who have Just relinquished office by virtue of the expiration of their terms, and other diatinffuiahed guests made their way to the inaugural stand. Ifiavgufatlofi ef the President The procession, beaded by the president- elect wound through the east senate door, the main corridors of the senate and through the rotunda of the capitol to the place set for the oathtaking. On reaching the inaugural stand, Woodrow Wilson took a place directly in front of BdwaYd D. White, the chief Justice of the United States, aad tfkt chief clerk of the court lames IX Jtaher. of the senate aad the sional committee on arrangements were immediately on the left of the president. The vice president, the associate Justices of the Supreme Court and the members of the senate sut upon his right. When all were assembled Chief Justice White, having in his right hund the open Bible upon which the hands of many former presidents have rested, advanced to Woodrow Wilson und ad- Thousauds of American citizens [ministered to htm this outh, which is Imposed by the Constitution of the United States: "You do solemnly swear that you will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and will to the best of your ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." Woodrow Wilson said in a firm voice, "I do," and he became for the second time president of the United States of America. Then the president delivered his inaugural address and on its conclusion he made his way with Mrs. Wilson to his carriage and was driven slowly to the White House at the head of the procession formed in honor of the Inaugural ceremonies. Luncheon Deferred for Parade. In years past the presidential party always has entered the White House for luncheon prior to the review of the parade from the stand in front of the executive mansion. This Invariably in the past caused such a delay that It was decided this year to do away with the luncheon feature. President Wilson with Mrs. Wilson, the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, and two members of his cabinet went Immediately to the little Inclosed structure, much like a sentry box, which had been built in the middle of the great grandstand In front of the White House and from which the chief executive viewed the paraders. It was the gravity of the situation In connection with our foreign affairs which gave to the inaugural ceremonies their serious tone and patriotic feature*. The parade of the day was largely military In Its nature, although there were In the procession many bodies which in a sense might be said to represent the spirit of Industrial preparedness of the United States for any eventuality which might come. Make-up of the Procession. At the forefront of the parade as it left the capitol were, of course, the president and the vice president of the United States with their guards of honor. Major General Hugh L. Scott, U. S. army, was the grand marshal of the occasion. George R. Linklns was the marshal of the civic organizations which took part in the marching ceremonies. Immediately preceding the carriages of the presidential and vice presidential parties and of Col. Robert N. Harper, inaugural chairman, was the famous United States Marine band. The president had as his guard of honor the squadron of the Second United States cavalry, The Vice President and Mrs. Marshall were escorted by the Black Horse troop of the Culver Military academy, Indiana, the state of which the vice president and his wife are natives and residents. The West Point cadets and the An- l napolis cadets took part In the procession. In addition to these young soldier and sailor organizations there was as large a representation of the forces of the United States as properly could be spared from post and garrison duty. j In addition there were troops from I Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, j Maryland, Virginia, and some other states of the Union representing the National Guard. Remnants of the Grand Army. A patriotic and picturesque feature of the ceremonies attending the inauguration was supplied by the rapidly thinning ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. In years past the soldiers of the war between the states j have made the entire length of the line of march, but this year the distance which they tramped was shortened. They added to the picture of the parade as they moved by the presidential reviewing; stand with their old flags above them.

When the same was tested it was found t o contain four and thirty four one-hundredths per cent Alcohol, which is more than beer contf iis, one half of 1 per cent being all that the law allows for soft drinks. Saturday Sheriff Miller came over and loaded the i blitz, three barrels of it into his Ford j and took it to Howell. It looks like a j general clean-up in the county as arrests havti been made at Biighton and Fowleiville where drinks were being sold that contained ev*n more a^ohoj than blitz. It is not thought that the hotel proprietor was aware of the amount of alcohol contained in the blitz.

A Fine Planting of Rhododendron**—the Effect Is Worth Studying. FLORAL WORK IN SEASON By LIMA R. ROSE. Divide and set peony roots now. Fall planting Is best for them. Mixing compost rough for flower pots means without sifting It. Hurry your order for bulbs and plants. Have your borders and pots ready for them when they come. Roman hyacinths are best for late potting, as they come Into bloom much earlier than the Dutch varieties. Each bulb throws up several flower-spikes. Are your neighbors' plants finer and better than yours? If so, there is a reason for it, and you should seek to find out what it is and profit by the knowledge. Fall is the best time to take up, divide and reset old plants of herbaceous perennials, or to plant most new ones. They should become well-established before freezing weather as to root growth. More herbaceous pereunials are heavy feeders, and a thorough enrichment of the lower soil is of great importance. Top dressing every fall should be well attended to, and this should be forked into the soil In the spring, after the freezing is done. Winter protection is valuable for all plants, no matter how hardy they may be. The object of this is not to keep the plant roots warm, but to prevent the sun, especially in the spring, from warming and thawing the stalks and ground, thus exposing the plant cells to alternate thawing and freezing, which is very hurtful to them. Lay in a supply of potting soil now, so if the need arises for soil when the ground Is covered with snow or frozen, it can be met Equal parts of good garden soil, old, well-rotted manure leaf mold (or wood soil) and sand should be stirred well together, sifted through a coarse sieve and stored under shelter in boxes or barrels. Do not let the plants intended for the window garden stay out too long. Even a slight chill will hurt the tender ones, and do the hardy ones no good. Do not pinch out the buds after the first of November. Do not transfer the plants at once from the border to the sitting room. From the open air to the veranda or a bench on the sunny side of the house; from there to a shed or cool room as the frost approaches, then to some room where a near Are shall banish the actual cold; then place them in your windows and they will not realize the change so greatly. Crotons do not need a specially rich solL Mix together three parts of leaf mold, one of garden soil and one of thoroughly rotted manure. Heat and moist air are essential Full sunshine is liked, except In hot weather. te tk* In rlcb soil, with leaves often a yard across of a rich bronze-green, overlaid with a coppery luster. Ribbon beds cun be worked out with good effect by using different colors of the verbena In rows. Such beds are most pleasing when near the house or close to the path, where they can be looked down upon. SOME HINTS IN SEASON By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. Give your garden crops Just the fertilizer they prefer. Remember that plants furnish us with edible leaves or stalks, flourish If given nitrogen; when the fruit, root kernel or bulb, is the edible part dose with ashes, potash or phosphoric acid. Keep an eye on the hotbed when the sun shines brightly. Too much heat will make the plants weak and spindly. Get the brush for the peas and poles for the beans when It is too wet to work in the garden. If you have no hotbed, sow seeds in shallow boxes placed in the south window. - Provide drainage, and water them when the soil feels dry to the touch. Do not plow too early in the spring. Walt until the ground is dry. Follow with the harrow until the soil is finely pulverized. Let the rows run north and south; this gives the most sun exposure, SOME EASILY MADE AND EFFECTIVE BEDS By L.

Evergreen trees can be planted later than deciduous trees, bu* the earlier all the work is done the better. Do not expose the roots of the trees or shrubs to be planted. Keep them covered with cool, damp earth until ready to plant. Innumerable trees die every year for lack of care when they are received. If you are not ready to plant them when they arrive take them from the box or package they come in and heel them in. Heeling consists of digging a trench in any convenient spot in the garden. Set the roots In the trench and cover the roots with earth, firming the soil around them. Dig the holes carefully where the tree or shrub is to be planted. Put a stake where you Intend planting and write the name on the stakes Work the soil well in around thf roots and water well. CYCLAMEN Given the proper conditions, the cyclamen is remarkably easy to grow. When well-grown it Is difficult to find a more useful plant for room and window decoration. The soil best suited to them is a fresh, turfy loam, with s fourth to a fifth of well-rotted horse manure, to which add some clean sand if the soil is heavy. Plant so as to leave the top of the bulb just below the surface. The flowers vary from deep red to pure white. PERENNIAL LARKSPUR One of the plants which has benefited much of late years from the scientific attention of growers Is the delphinium, that "perennial larkspur*' which gives such a grateful bit of shaded bine when grown correctly. A bed or border of deJpnintams will often remain in full flower over a period of three months, and they form one of the small but gallant hand of plants that «111 endure weather. ^.-»:r HOUSE RESOLVES TO ADJOURN MARCH 31 ARE MAKING SPECIAL EFFORT TO GET WORK THROUGH # ' ON DATE SET. SPECIAL SESSION LOOMS Prohibition, Budget, Insurance Code, Railroad and Numerous Other Bills to be Cared For. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Landing. Coincident with a desire to conclude work of this legislative session by March 31 and adjourn as far as business 1B concerned, on that date, the senate and house have suddenly become busy with the bills in front of them. The lawmakers express a belief that they can dispose of all matters of real statewide interest and go home before April showers start. The house has passed a resolution to set March 31 as the date for business adjournment, with April 19 and 20 as the dates for final adjournment. And although a special session looms up as a strong possibility the effort is to be made to get through work on the date set. To accomplish the result desired the legislature still has to handle practically the entire business of the session. The prohibition bills, which the general public thought would t e the first to appear in either house as the result of the November majority in favor of statewide prohibition, had not yet appeared when the house adopted the adjournment resolution and sent it over to the senate. It was the next day after that new bills appeared from the joint liquor committees to care for the prohibition situation. Three bills came forth as a final statement from the committees as to what they desired in the way of prohibition legislation. One was introduced bv Rep. Wiley, who had introduced earlier in the session the bill prepared by the Anti-Saloon league attorneys. It had eliminated all reference to the importation of liquors for personal use in Michigan, and in its search and seizure provisions and jts enactments against possession of Intoxicants was as bone dry as the original bone dry measure. The second bill was offered by Rep. McArthur, author of the original bone dry bill. It differed but little from the Wiley bill, except that the latter put the enforcement of the law in the hands of the food and drug commissioner, while the McArthur bill left enforcement to prosecuting attorneys of the various counties. The third bill was put In by Rep. Lewis, chairman of the house liquor committee. It changes the title of the dairy and food commissioner to that of food and drug commissioner; : invests him with the enforcement of the liquor.laws; extends his term of two years to four "and raises his salary after the present term from $2,000 to $3,600. Also it is provided that a special deputy attorney general shall assist the food and drug commissioner as far as the legal part of his work Is concerned. The slgaiflcance of the decision to vest the power to enforce the law in the dairy and food department rather than in the attorney-general's lies in the fact that the dairy and food commissioner can be removed at will by the governor and the latter, as the chief executive officer of the state, cannot escape responsibility for law enforcement Governor Sleeper therefore insisted that the enforcement be placed in some department that he could control. In order to get through work by March 21 the legislature not only has to care for the prohibition bills and the 30 or more appropriation bills, but has the insurance code, the railroad rate bill, the game law amendments, the budget commission bill, and many more measures that are considered important by some section or other of the membres. On the Insurance code alone there have been allowed fire separate hearings, to take care of the various Interests involved. AH of them promise to be well represented as their causes are taken up, Judging from advance notices. For Women's Suffrage. Suffrage for women atso baa come up again. Rep. Flowers, of Detroit, has introduced a bill to allow woman to vote for presidential electors and a constitutional amendmeat to allow them to vote at aB* siedena the as male voters. Maw Blfts Introsmeat. By Rap. Wood, to allow mayors cities to seise for fsel or food a of famine sad at t o s t s i s * of Arm* u» Klf! Tax Coirnnlawren. With one bill wiping out the staU, tax commission and another providing for local review of assessments to which objection Is made, Representative Andrew L. Deuel, of Harbor Springs, stepped into tbe spotlight. Deuel ia frank in admitting that he guesses his bill doesn't stand much show, but he wants to make the fight anyway, because of the treatment he alleges the state tax commission handed to the neighbors up his way. The tax commission "death blow" provides a substitute in the shape of a state board of assessors of three men, consisting of the governor and two citizens selected by himself, at $3,500 a year. It then provides new. methods for valuing the railroads and other corporations that pay a specific tax and would base this valuation an equipment and mileage and the relations between these factors and capitalization and bond issues after the realty and the personal property have been deducted. The review bill provides that a citj village, township or individual may appeal from the equalization of the board of supervisors or from the acts of an assessing o*Ecer by application to the probate ceurt, which must appoint a commission of three disinterested property holders to adjudicate the question. One Deer, With Horns. The "one buck law," which has many warm advocates and many warm opponents, has been reported out and bids fair to use up a day or two of legislative time in the arguments that will be had over its value to the state. It permits a hunter to kill only one deer in a season and that a buck deer. Advocates of the bill say that it will stop the killing of hunters by other hunters who shoot when they see a moving object in the woods. Opponents say that it will result only in killed does being left in the woods. The subject is one that is always certain to produce an endless argument in the legislature. That Pain Have you a lame back, aching day and night? Do you feel sharp pains after stooping? Are the kidneys sore? Ia their action irregular?

Bead the experience that follows : A Michigan Case Jttnbrose Hatfield, B r o o k St., Eaton, Haplds. Mich., says: "My kidneys were disordered and I was tortured by sharp pains in my back. As I got older, the trouble b e c a m e worse and gradually the pains went up Into my limbs and shoulders. I w a s weak and depressed and had to be helped around. After other medicines f a i l e d Doan'8 Kidney Pills restored me to «*ood strength came back and I was able to return to work, free from pain.'Jhealth GetDeaa'sat 80c* Boa Constitutional Amendments. Two constitutional amendments are fairly certain to come up for a vote in April as a result of the last week's work in the legislature. One is the amendment empowering the state to buy and operate railways and the other the amendment to allow cities to establish municipal fuel yards. The first has gone through both houses. It Is designed to give the state power to compel the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railroad, now a part of the Grand Trunk system, to pay taxes levied by the state. The other has been reported out for consideration and its advocates claim that a majority of both houses are pledged to its passage. An Oddity in Legislative Work. An oddity in legislative work occurred when Rep. Leigh ton cast the enly vote against a bill which he had introduced himself. The bill provided originally for raising witness fees in crcuit courts to $3 a day, and also provided for $1.60 fees for half days. The committee which had the bill In charge liked the half day Idea, but reduced the fees to |2 a day and $1 for a half day. Rep. Leighton fought to have the original fees put back in, but his efforts failed. He then voted against the bill, but every other member present, 79 in all, voted for i t D O A N ' S "VNKV FOSTER-MILBURN C O . BUFFALO. R Y.

Beck of the University of Maryland in an address before the Los Angeles County Medical association at Log Angeles, Cal. First, put down 110. Then multiply by 5¼ the number of inches by which one's height exceede five feet Add the result of the multiplication to the original 110 and the sum is one's "Ideal weight"—Popular Monthly. Must Have Warrants. The house killed the senate bill that would permit officers to make arrests without warrants. Honse members believed that police have enough power in the making of arrests now, and the bill, although it had passed the senate and was indorsed by the state association of prosecutors and sheriffs and by the state bar association, received two votes less than the 51 required to pass the house. Its friends ha dthe vote reconsidered and made a second effort to pass it, bat it lost nine votes and failed for good the second time up. A Financial Diagnosis. In a confidential little talk to a group of medical students an eminent physlcan took up the extremely Important matter of correct diagnosis of the maximum fee. r' "The best rewards," he said, "come, of course, to the established specialist. For instance, I charge twenty-five dollars for a call at^he residence, ten dollars for an office consultation, and five dollars for a telephone consultation." There was an appreciative and envious silence, and then a voice from the back of the amphitheater, slightly thickened, spoke: "Doc," it aaked, "how much do jon charge a feller for passing you on the street?" Road Building Bill. One of the most interesting road building bills introduced was put in by Hep. Farrier, who proposes that the state shall pay fire cents an an acre on its homestead lands and swamp lands to the counties in which they are located. At the five cent rate Rep. Farrier figures that the counties win have 130,000 a year additional road money. Mors New Mils.

I +++++++++++O+0+++++++++++++++++* IRELAND'S GLORY bishops were distributed throughout the land, o\000 priests ministered to the spiritual wants of the nation. lie attempted to throw into the church thus suddenly created a strong element of stability by systematizing it on the models of the canons and making ecclesiastical law effective in every department. He did not believe In sanctity unassoclated with education. Under him religion created great monasteries, and monasteries created great schools. By those schools St. Patrick is a factor in the history of Europe. Even before he went to Ireland he had seen the days when Ostrogoths established themselves in Pannonia and Thrace, when the Visigoths sacked the Italian peninsula from end to end and carved out a Spanish kingdom within the domains of great Rome, when the Huns rode their blazing course up the Danube and the Rhine almost to the ocean; when the Vandals terrorised Spain and crushed the power of the empire In northern Africa, when the Salian Franks took firm grip of northern Gaul. His long life stretches over a period during which the whirlwind of barbaric invasions swept away ail but a remh*ant of the ancient learnings. But now the world went to school to Ireland, and the Irish brought their school to the world. Religion, the ancient classics, law, history, natural science, agriculture, manual training, the use of Implements and the forge, all came within the scope of these intense and practical scholars. Not without reason has the name of St. Patrick been held in veneration through these many generations. There is nowhere a teacher whose services for learning exerted so wide an Influence in a time so critical for all culture. There Is nowhere a statesman whose activity 30 completely reformed the character of any people. There is no/where such a national hero whose fame is sounded across fifteen centuries and can still stir emotions of enthusiasm far beyond his nation's shores. There is nowhere a saint whose teachings are blended like his with the destinies of his nation. Irish Leaders in American History. The Declaration of Independence ha 8 twelve Irish names. Matthew Thornton, James Smith and George Taylor were born in Ireland; John Hancock, William Whipple, Robert Treat Paine, George Read, Thomas Mc- Kean, Edward kelson and Thomas Lynch were of Irish parentage. The secretary of congress who prepared the immortal document from the rough draft of Thomas Jefferson was Charles Thompson, a native of Derry, while Captain Dunlop, still another Irishman, printed it and published it to the world, Captain Dunlop was the found- ( er of the first daily paper in Philadelphia. nnnnn ERIN'S HOLY PLACE For Fifteen Centuries The Reek Has Played Important Part in Country's History. IT*IS in the month July that the great unnuul pilgrimage of The Ueek takes place. The Reek, sometimes known as Croagh Patrick, is the Mount Zlon of the Emerald isle. For ou its summit St. Patrick is said to have wrung from the angel many promises for the salvation of the people he had made his own. For fifteen centuries this mountain has played an important part in the religious history of Ireland, and year by year people journey by the thousands up the mountain, which is about 3,000 feet high. It is a steep and difficult ascent, occupying the beat part of three hours, and most of the pilgrims make it in the evening, so as to hold their vigil on the summit. There is a little chapel on the mountain top. But it is so small that few can And a place therein, and most kneel outside. FALLING HAIR MEANS DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE Save Your Hair!

Adv. la tha IT WAS the foundation of St. Patrick's greatness that his renovation of Ireland was not a revolur, tion. He left old institutions and traditions untouched, wherever they could be purged of a taint of superstition. There were septs and clans, laws and Judges, bards and kings before him, and they continued after him. He built his church carefully. To disarm political opposition he appealed straight to the heads of the clans. He aimed at the creation of a native clergy. He tried to give every community a place of worship. At his death 385 churches lay along the routes his journeys had taken; 355 WHY THE SHAMROCK IS WORN Catted States army In ISM. Custom Mot Only in Honor of the Saint, but in Romcmbranos of Days of paHtine, Few who put a sprig of shamrock in their buttonhole on the 17th of March realise that these Utile green leaves snore than once kept the Irish from death ia dire famine times. In 1506 the poet 8peneer declares that the war had brought the miserable inhabitants of Mnntter to a point where they "flock to a plot of watercreases or amamrocks u t o a feast.*' In U s "View of Ireland" he deacstbes this as the depth of rain to which a land formerly having abundant corn and cattle had bean plunged. The troabrous times continued and the shamrock Is mentioned as aa article of food again and again. Fyaea Morrison, ia UBS, writes that the herb is stiO "being snatebad oat of the dltefaes for food.** Withers la -Abases Strlpt sad Whtpf (ISIS) sings: i a a S s f S s T e e e . I Remember Native Land. No other people coming to our shores have displayed toward their native land a love more wholesome than the Irish. They keep their children fed upon the tales of the fairies and "little people" who are good to the good children, and whose wrath descends upon the children who are not doing right. 5*St5tJt-5* Church and Tower at Kelts. The celebrated Book of Kells was written there in the sixth century. This church Is famous for Its historical associations. The town of Kells originated in a monastery founded by Saint Columba. nnnnn Ireland's Towers. The towers, which are numerous throughout Ireland, have been the subject of much controversy among antiquarians.. They are thought to have been used as a means of defense. Not until later was the shamrock used as the national emblem of Brln. Nathaniel Golgan, member of the Royal Irish academy, says the earliest record of the "wearing o* the green** is contained in the diary of Thomas Dlnely, who wrote in 1687: •17th day of March yearly is S t Patrick, an immovable feast, when the Irish of all stations and conditions wear crosses in their hats, some of pins, some of green ribbon, and the vulgar superstitioualy wear ahamroajnea, three leaved grass, which they likewise eat (they say to cause a sweet breath). The common people and s a v a n t s also demand their Patnek's groat of their nmeters, which they go expressly to town, though half a docea miles oil, to spend, where sometimes it amounts to a piece of eight or a cobb apiece, and very few . of the sesloua are found sober at I night.'' A later reference tp the wearing of the ahamrock appears In the works of Dr. Caleb Thra&eUL a botanist of the century. Ha says: tha plant la their in nuMMSsanratUai of S t Patrick,] The Reek. The sermons preached are In Gaelic, and the masses continue from daybreak until noon. St. Patrick is on record as having visited The Reek In A. D. 441 and spent forty days on its summit, hidden from the world by the mists hanging about the lower portion of the mountain. The legend says that he was assailed by huge black birds, which only took to flight when he rang his bell against them. The bell rolled down the mountain, but an angel came and restored it to the saint. All the men of Erin heard this ringing of the bell, and it is stated now that it is often heard again. Afterward St. Patrick was visited by angels, and from their leader he wrested the following pledges: That as many souls should be saved as could fill the horizon which he looked upon; that on every Thursday seven souls and on every Saturday twelve souls should be freed from purgatory; that whoever recited the last verse of his hymn constantly should suffer no torments in the next world, and that on the last day he should be appointed to sit in Judgment on the sins of Gael. HHHHH Four or Five-Leaved Shamrock? Some say the four-leaf shamrock is the shamrock of luck, and others that it is the five leaved one that holds the magic touch. This latter is rare and prized and is said to grow from a decaying body, as the nettle Is said to spring from buried human remains, The shamrock of luck must be fpund "without searching, without seeking." When thus discovered, it should be cherished and preserved as an invincible talisman. "believing that St. Patrick used the three-lobed leaf to explain the Chris- j tlan Trinity. This belief is generally j said by antiquarians to have arisen in the fourteenth century, almost a thousand years after the time of Patritius," who died in A. D. 493. In that year, says the Annale of Ulster, "Patritius, the arch-apostle of the Scoti (Irish) rested on the 16th day of the calends of April (March 17) in the one hundred and twentieth year of his life, the sixtieth year after he had come to Ireland to baptise the Scoti." nnnnn Many Irish Flags. Quite a number of flags have figured in Irish history. Not the least popular among these is the flag exhibiting three golden erowas imposed on a blue ground. This flag was accepted after the Norman invasion In the year 1170. as the ensign of Ireland, the three crowns representing the kingdoms of DeauMad, Ormond and Thomond. It was retained until 1547 when Henry VUl abohahart It and ssaV atitatsd the harp, 77 SICK Tapnsr Gentiy cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the intestines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Casoaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

She sat on a stone bench with her profile to tbe audience, her back to the right of the proscenium arch; so that she could not, without turning, have noticed the entrance of Ember and her husband. A shy. light, deathlessly youthful figure in pale and flowing garments that molded themselves fluently to her sweet and girlish body. In a posture of pensive meditation: she was nothing less than adorable. Whi taker could not take his eyes from her, for sheer wonder and delight He was only vaguely conscious that Max. at length satisfied, barked a word to that effect to an unseen electrician yff to the left, and waving his hand with a gesture Indelibly associated with his personality, dragged a light cane-seated chair to the left of the proscenium and -fat htynjelf down. "All ready T he demanded to a sharp and Irritable voice. The woman on the marble step nodded imperceptibly. "Go ahead," snapped the manager. An actor advanced from the wings, paused and addressed the seated woman. His lines were brief. She lifted her head with a startled air. listening. He ceased to speak, and her voice of golden velvet filled the bouse with the flowing beauty of Its unforgettably sweet modulations. Beyond the footlights a handful of sophisticated and skeptical habitues of the theater forgot for the moment their ingrained incredulity and thrilled In sympathy with the wonderful rapture of that voice of eternal Youth. "Whitaker himself for the time forgot that he was the husband of this woman and her lover; she moved before his vision In the guise of some divine creature, divinely unattainable, a dream woman divorced utterly from any semblance of reality. That opening scene was one perhaps unique In the history of the stage. Composed by Max in some mad, poetical moment of Inspired plagiarism, It not only owned a poignant and enthralling beauty of imagery, but it moved with an almost Grecian certitude, with a significance extraordinarily direct and devoid of circumlocution, seeming to lay bare the living tissue of Immortal drama. But with the appearance of other characters there came a change: the rare atmosphere of the opening began to dissipate perceptibly. The action clouded and grew vague. The auditors began to feel the flutterings of uncertainty In the air. Something was failing to cross the footlights. The sweeping and assured gesture of the accomplished playwright faltered: a clumsy bit of construction was damningly exposed; faults of characterization multiplied depresslngly. Sara Law herself lost an Indefinable proportion of her rare and provoking charm; the strangeness of falling to hold her audience In an Ineluctable grasp seemed at once to nettle and distress her. Max himself seemed suddenly to wake to the amazing fact that there was something enormously and irremediably wrong; he began with exasperating frequency to halt the action, t) interrupt scenes with advice and demands for repetition. He found It Impossible to be still, to keep his seat or control his rasping, Irritable voice. Subordinate characters on the stage lost their heads and either forgot to act or overacted. And then—Intolerable climax!— of a sudden somebody In the orchestra chairs laughed in outright derision in the middle of a passage meant to be tenderly emotional. The voice of Sara Law broke and fell. She stood trembling and unstrung. Max, without a word, turned on his heel and swung out of sight Into the wings. Four other actors on the stage, aside from Sara Law, hesitated and drew together in doubt and bewilderment And then, abruptly, with no warning whatever, the illusion of gloom in the auditorium and moonlight in the postseenium was rent away by the glare of the full complement of electric lights installed in the house. A thought later, while still all were blinking and gasping with surprise, Max strode Into view just behind the footlights. Halting, he swept the array of auditors with an ominous and truculent stare. So quickly was this startling change cooaummated that Whitaker I ad no mora than time to realise the reappearance of the manager before ha caught his wrathful and venomous glance fixed to his own bewildered ftea. And something la the light that flickered wildly behind Max's eyes reminded him so strongly of a similar «iUii—Inn ha had remarked in the mym at IHwauwd. the night the Utter toad oaeu captured by Bulbar and lut, tfct* ! • alarm n* half Ma Simultaneously he saw Max spring toward the box. with a distorted and snarling countenance, He was tugging at something in his pocket. It appeared in the shape of a heavy plstoL Instantly Whitaker was caught and tripped by Ember and sent sprawling on the floor of the box, As this happened, he heard the voice of the firearm, sharp and vicious—a single report. Unhurt, be picked himself up in time to catch a glimpse of Max, on the stage, momentarily helpless in the embrace of a desperate and frantic woman who had caught his arms from behind and, presumably, had so deflected his arm. In the same breath Ember, who had leaped to the railing round the box, threw himself across the footlights with the lithe certainty of a beast of prey and, seemingly in as many deft motions, knocked the pistol from the manager's hand, wrested him from the arms of the actress, laid him flat and knelt upon him. With a single bound Whitaker followed him to the stage; in another he had his wife in his arms and was soothing her first transports of semihysterical terror. . . . It was possibly a quarter of an hour later when Ember paused before a door In the ground-floor dressing-room gangway of the Theater Max—a door distinguished by the initials "S. L." In the center of a golden star. With some hesitation with even a little diffidence, he lifted a hand and knocked. At once the door was opened by the maid, Ellse. Recognizing Ember, she "I Want to See the End of It All." smiled and stood aside, making way for him to enjj^r the small, curtained lobby. "Madam—and monsieur," she said with smiling significance, "told me to show you In at once, -Monsieur Ember." Prom behind the curtains, Whltaker's voice lifted up Impatiently: "That you, old' man? Come right In I" Nodding to the maid, Ember thrust aside the portieres and stepped into the brightly lighted dressing room, then paused, bowing and smiling his self-contained, tolerant smile: in appearance as imperturbable and wellgroomed as though he had just escaped from the attentions of a valet, rather than from a furious hand-tohand tussle with a vicious monomaniac Mary Whitaker, as yet a little pale and distrait, and still la costume, was reclining on a chaise-longue. Whitaker was standing close beside his wife; his face the theater of conflicting emotions; Ember, at least, thought with a shrewd glance to recognise a pulsating light of Joy beneath a mask of Interest and distress and a flash of embarrassment. "I am Intruding T he suggested gravely, with a slight turn as if offering to withdraw. "No."' The word faltering on the Upa of Mary Whltakar was lost in an emphatic Iteration by Whltakar. M81t downl" he Insisted. "As If we'd let you escape now, after you'd kept us here In suspense r He offered a chair, but Ember first advanced to take the hand held out to him by the woman on tha rhsles •Ton are feeling mora composed r ha inquired. Bw Haas mat his bravely. 1 am— troubled, perhaps—but happy," she said. "Then I am very glad," he said, smiling at the delicate color that enhanced her exquisite beauty as she made the confession. "I had hoped as much." He Looked from the one to the other. "You have . . . made up your mindsT The wife answered for both: "It is settled, dear friend: I can struggle no longer. I thought myself a strong woman; I have tried to believe myself a genius bound upon the wheel of an Ill-starred destiny; but I find I am"— the glorious voice trembled slightly— "only a woman In love and no stronger than her %ve." **I am very glad," Ember repeated, "for both your sakes. It's a happy consummation of my dearest wishes." "We owe you everything," Whitaker said with feeling, dropping an awkward hand on the other's shoulder. "It was you who threw us together, down there on the Great West bay, so that we learned to know one another . . . "I plead guilty to that little p l o t - yes," Ember Laughed. "But, best of all, this comes at just the right time— the tightest time, when there can no longer be any doubts or questions or misunderstandings, no ground for further fears and apprehensions, when the destroying angel' of your Illstarred destiny,' my dear"—he turned to the woman—"Is exorcised—banished— proscribed—" "Max—I" Whitaker struck in explosively. "—is on his way to the police station, well guarded," Ember affirmed with a nod and a grim smile. "I have his confession, roughty jotted down, but signed, and attested by several witnesses. . . . I'm glad you were out of the way; It was rather a painful scene, and disorderly; It wouldn't have been pleasant for Mrs. Whitaker. . . . We had the deuce of a time clearing "the theater: human curiosity is a tremendously persistent and resistant force. And then I had some trouble dealing with the misplaced loyalty of the staff of the house. . . . However, eventually I got Max to myself— alone, that Is, with several men 1 could depend on. And then I heartlessly put him through the third degree— forestalling my friends, the police. By dint of asserting as truths and personal discoveries what I merely suspected, I broke down his denials. He owned up. doggedly enough, and yet with that singular pride which 1 have learned to associate with some phases of homicidal mania. . . . I won't distress you vslth details: the truth Is that Max was quite mad on the subject of his luck; he considered it, as I suspected, indissolubly associated with Sara Law. When poor Custer committed suicide, he saved Max from ruin and Innocently showed him the way to save himself thereafter, when he felt In peril, by assassinating Hamilton and, later, Thurston. Drummond only cheated a like fate, and you"—turning to Whitaker—"escaped by the narrowest shave. Max hadn't meant to run the risk of putting you out of the way unless he thought it absolutely necessary, but the failure of his silly play In rehearsal tonight coupled with the discovery that yon were In the theater, drove him temporarily Lnsane with hate, chagrin and jealousy." Concluding, Ember rose. **I must follow-hlm now to the police station, . . . I shall see you both soon again—?" The woman gave him both her hands. "There's no way to thank you,** she said—"our dear, dear friend I" "No way,H Whitaker echoed regretfully. "No way?" Ember laughed quietly, holding ber hands tightly clasped. *3ut I see yon together—happy— Oh, believe me, t am fully thanked V Bowing, he touched his lips gently to both hands, released them with a little sigh that ended In a contented chuckle, exchanged a short firm grasp with Whitaker, and left them. . . . Whitaker, following almost Immediately to the gangway, found Ember had already left the theater. For some minutes he wandered to and fro In the gangway, pausing now and again on the borders of the deserted stage, There were but few of the bouse staff visible, and those few were methodically busy with preparations to dose up. Beyond the dismal gutter of the footlights the auditorium yawned cavemoua and shsdowy, peopled only by rows of craira ghostly in their dust-cloths. The street entrances were already closed, locked and dark. On the stage a single cluster stand of electric bu'bs made visible the vast gloomy dome of the flies and the whitewashed walla against which sections of scenery were stacked like cards. An electrician la bis id set clothes lounged beside the doorkeeper's cubicle, at the stage «-»ifroit smoking a cigarette and conferring with the doorman while subjecting Whitaker to a curious and antagonistic stare, The muffled rumble of their voices was the only sound audible, aside from an occasional racket of bootheels in the gangways as one actor after another left his dressing room and hastened to the street keen-set tor the clash of gossiping tongues In theatrical clubs and restaurants. Gradually the building grew more and more empty and silent until at length Whitaker was left alone with the shadows and the two employees, These lost betrayed signs of impatience. He himself felt a little sympathy for their temper. Women certainly did take an unconscionable time to dress 1 . . . At length he heard them hurrying along the lower gangway, and turned to join his wife at the stage entrance, Ellse passed on, burdened with two heavy handbags, and disappeared into the rain-washed alleyway. The electrician detached his shoulders from the wall, ground his cigarette under heel and lounged over to the switchboard. Mary Whitaker turned her face, shadowy and mystical, touched with her faint and inscrutable smile, up to her husband's. "Walt" she begged In a whisper. "I want to see"—her breath checked— "the end of It alL" They heard hissings and cllcklnga at the switchboard. The gangway lights vanished In a breath. The single cluster stand on the stage disappeared —and the house was blotted out utterly with its extinguishment There remained alight only the single dull bulb In the doorman's cubicle. Whitaker slipped an arm round his wife. She trembled within his embrace. "Black out" she said In a gentle and regretful voice: "the last exit: Curtain—End of the Play!" "No," he said In a voice of sublime confidence—"no; It's only the prologue curtain. Now for the play, dear heart . . . the real play . . , life . . . love . . ." THE END. TO FARM LABORERS Offering 160 Acres to Farm Hands. ORIGIN OF POTATO UNKNOWN Strong Reasons, However, for Belief That It Is Native of Mountainous Districts of America. The question of where the potato li indigenous and where introduced by man has never been strictly answered. It seems sure, however, that the potato is o native of the mountainous districts of tropical and subtropical America, from Chile to Mexico, and even as far north as the southern part of Colorado. Data concerning the known use of the potato for food are not very definite. It probably was first taken to Europe from Peru by Spaniard! early in the sixteenth century, ant! spread from Spain to Holland, Bur* gundy and Italy, though cultivated only as a curiosity in a few garden* and little known or thought of. In th# Complete Gardener, published In 1T1S* It is not mentioned. As a food it war first used for pigs and cattle; then, on account of its great yield, it was suggested that It might be useful fot the poor and prevent famine"', due tc the failure of the grain crops. As earl} as 1668 the Eoyal society of Londot adopted measures to encourage its cul* tlvation in England. It spread quicklj In Ireland, but It was not until the middle of the eighteenth century that it acquired any real importance on th« continent of Europe. Of its first cultivation as a crop in North America eves less is known. Wrong Figure of Speech. "In your sermon this morning yotj spoke of a baby as *a new wave on th« ocean of life,'" said the church war* den, who bad recently become a fa* ther, to the vicar in the vestry.

The inoculation for that one-time fatal disease Is quite as affective a* that for smallpox Typhoid fever la nt longer a menace where the manias<H is obtalnabia, Canada today, with the great demand that is made upon it for foodstuffs, finds itself almost in the throes of a labor famine. A novel means of solving the problem has been evolved by the Canadian Government at Ottawa on Wednesday last, when it was decided to practically bonus every farmhand going to Canada, by giving him 160 acres free as a homestead, and to allow the time he would be working out for, the good wages offered, to count as residence duties on the homestead. Western Canada has been a big producer of grain and it Is estimated that there is a shortage of over thirty thousand men, necessary to produce an average crop In 1917. This shortage has been caused by so many young men having left the farms to go to war, and it Is essential to make an unprecedented offer of this kind, to fill their places on the land at once. It has been required in the past to do three years' duties on homesteads to get title, but an additional inducement has been offered by practically reducing this term to two years. As explained by an official of the Canadian Government, Canada's need for farm laborers is Intense, and exceptional inducements are J>eing offered to get the needed farm workers at once. A farmhand will make his entry for one of the 160-acre farms, satisfy the Government that he is working for a farmer and that time will apply as residence on the land filed for, just the same as If he was actually living on it—Advertisement. CALLS WOMEN WEAK SISTERS Good Looking, but Physically Unfit, Is the Assertion Made by Aged. Viennese. American women are good looking and clever, but not very strong physically, according to the verdict passed upon them by Mrs. Charlotte de Gollere Davenport, who spoke before the Woman's club here. Mrs. Davenport Is in her ninety-fourth year, has a son seventy-four years old, and is the mother of 20 children. She was graduated from the University of Vienna as a professor of hygiene, which, she says, was a great distinction, as "the Austrian universities are hard on women." It was In teaching the women of New York fencing that Mrs. Davenport became impressed by their phyhsical weakness, and warns American women, in consequence, to build themselves up physically. ^ That wgiuen are not thinking very earnestly was another assertion of the visitor. She believes in women possessing strong individuality, of being original and independent as thinkers, and her short, informal talk encouraged women to cultivate such tendencies. "All are supposed to have five senses," the speaker said, "but some women do not seem to have any. Instead of subtracting from that number, they should be adding to them two more. The sixth sense is to know yourself, and the seventh sense is to know human nature in general—to know humanity," Mrs. Davenport said. —New Orleans Times-Picayune, Handling the Receiver.

VAN BENTHUYSEN A hardy garden Is the garden for the busy woman. It will last for years and be a delight to you and to your neighbors with a very little care. Take a careful survey of your resources and make a study of your own Individual problem. "Book-taught" gardeners may be all right up to a certain limit but one season's experiment along your own lines will give you an insight into plant life that aside from being a most fascinating study will teach you more than years of reading. Those who wish to plant roses and not bother with them more than to prune and fertilize annually and keep the ground mellow about the plants should plant hybrid perpetual roses. The hybrid perpetuals are the hardiest of roses and will stand mors cold weather than any other species. The following are desirable specimens: Anne de Diesbach, bright carmine ; Baroness Rothschild, an exquisite pink; La France, blooms all summer; Frau Karl Druschki, snow white, has splendid buds, Immense flowers, 4 to 5 inches across and is delightfully fragrant; General Jacqueminot, a popular rose of brilliant red; Paul Neyron, lovely dark pink; Gruss an Teplltz, a strong, vigorous grower, of richest crimson ; Killarney, both pink and white, are hardy, and Mrs. John Laing, a rose of delicious fragrance and of a rich satiny pink color. This list could be extended Indefinitely but these are all tried-and-true varieties that will give you a world of bloom and be a picture worth looking at. A hardy border that Is a triumph of beauty and has been enjoyed for years contains, hollyhocks, phlox, larkspur, fox glove, Iris, Columbines, pinks and sunflowers. Hardy roses require good garden soil enriched with well-rotted manure. They must have an open sunny position clear of the roots of all trees and shrubs. It is well to prepare the bed a few days before planting to allow for settling. Ever-blooming roses should be planted 18 Inches apart and the hybrid perpetuals two feet apart Roses should be planted with the roots diverging and at least nine Inches below the surface of the ground. The soil should be made firm about them and liberally watered- Best results will be obtained from ever-blooming roses by severe pruning. The stronger roots should be cut back to about 12 Inches In height and the hybrids to about 18 Inches, while all weak, thin wood should be removed entirely. Hollyhocks succeed best in rich, well-drained soil, and should be lightly protected during the winter months with coarse straw or spruce boughs. Larkspur seed can be sown in the open ground before the close of April. It "will produce flowering plants by the beginning of July, If given this early start, and will give a continuous succession of bloom from them until frost. It Is excellent for cutting and very ornamentaL It produces in a great variety of forms and colors some of the most beautiful flowers in cultt* radon. AH varieties are easily cultivated and adaptable to most conditions, but in a soil deeply dug and weU enriched with fine old manure, their blooms are the finest. Set from one to one-half to two feet each way. Iris (fleur-de-lis), the national flower of France, is another perfectly hardy plant They grow in any ordinary garden soil luxuriantly and bloom In June. Perhaps the most ahowy and gorof the Iris family Is the Japan- Iris. The towers a n often tea inches In diameter sad Moosa ta July, hssattfat colon both Iris. White faintly tinged with lavendar, light bronze, yellow and bright blue, royal purple, grayish white and a pure white are among the colors shown. Phlox, another plant on our list, cannot be surpassed for brilliant coloring and continuous bloom. Sow phlox, out of doors, in May In a situation well open to the sun. They will flower In July and continue until late In the autumn. If earlier flowers are wanted sow the seeds in a hotbed in March and flowers can be had In June. The old-fashioned clove pink like its more elegant relation the carnation flowers so easily as an annual that it has attained a most popular position among garden plants. The beautiful flowers make an attractive display with their world of color and are greatly to be desired as a table decoration and also as a border plant. Pinks grow easily from seed and come true to color. Sow out of doors when danger from frost is over. If the seed is sown early enough the perennials will bloom the first year. Few hardy perennials are so easily grown from seed, as columbines (agllegia). They make a most desirable border plant, bloom early, long and abundantly. Sow the seed In the open ground in the spring, If possible, where the plants are to grow, and thin to about' a foot apart They thrive well under ordinary garden culture. Sow In the fall for flowering the following season. Sunflower, remarkable for its brilliancy of color, and Its stately growth, makes a very good effect among shrubbery. It Is also excellent for screens. They are said to be good for absorbing the miasma of low grounds. Plant the seed In the open gnrden in spring and thin the plants to stand two or three feet apart. The poultry love the seed of sunflower and It Is well to dry it for the birds. Foxglove (digitalis) is particularly handsome when grown among the shrubbery. If they are used for a background for other plants they give a fine effect Though hardy perennials they are most satisfactory when treated as biennials, sowing the seed every year In rich, deep soil and partial shade. When the center spike begins to fade it should be cut out and the side shoots will grow more vigorously and keep up a profusion of flowers for a long time. Seed may be sown out of doors in the spring, and the seedlings transplanted where they are to go, or if possible, to a cold frame, where they make extra strong plants that will flower in magnificent spikes the next season. There are a great many other plants that are hardy and desirable—this is but a mere beginning. Choose the flowers you are fond of and the work will be more successful and more pleasant Nature warns you when the track of health is not clear.

How many times we hear of comparatively young persons passing away when they should hare lived to be 70 or 80 years of age. This fatal work is usually attributed to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes autointoxication. The more injurious the poisons passing thru the kidneys, the quicker will those noble organs be degenerated, and the sooner they decay. To prevent premature old age and promote long life, lighten the work of the kidneys by drinking plenty of pure water all day long, and occasionally taking Anuric (double strength) before meals. This can be obtained at drug stores. Anuric will overcome such conditions as rheumatism, dropsical swellings, cold extremities, scalding and burning urine and sleeplessness due to constant arising. WHAT NEIGHBORS SAY Delphos, Ohio—"I saw the Anuric Tablets advertised and sent for a trial package. I had doctored a good deal for ten years, but I never got any better. Sometimes I was disturbed three or four times at night. Never any pain, just uneasiness. I had a s o r e n e s s in my back and an awful weak back, so I wanted to see if the trial package would benefit me. I felt better from the first so I went to the druggist and got a 50-cent box of the tablets and took all of them and never had any more trouble. After that I can say Anuric is Just as recommended."— MRS. C. L. CRAMER. Send Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. X* ten cents for trial package.

Every mother realizes, after giving her children "California Syrup of Fig*" that this is their ideal laxative, because they love Its pleasant taste mad It thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels witho u t griping. When cross, irritable, feverish, or breath is bad, stomach soar, look a t t h e tongue, mother!

MatsMftff^ :*;''' CZAR OF RUSSIA IS OUSTED BY REBELS DUMA ORDERED DISSOLVED QY EMPEROR JOINS HANDS W I T H REVOLUTION. CZARS BROTHER IS REGENT Trouble Which Has Been Brewing for Long Time Said to Have Been Cauaed by Pro-Germans. Petragrad—Czar Nicholas II, emperor of Russia, has been abdicated. Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, his younger brother, has been named as regent The empress has been placed under guard. The Russian ministry, charged with corruption and incompetence, has been swept out of office. One minister, Alexander Protopopoff, head of the interior department, is reported to have been killed. Other ministers, as well as the president of the imperial council, are under arrest. A new national cabinet is announced, with Prince Lvofl as president of the council.and premier. Other offices are held by men close to the Russian people. Thus does the duma win its historymaking struggle against the empire's autocracy, accused of pro-German leanings. Victory, however, came not without bloodshed, but only after three days of battles between armed forces of the reactionaries and the new regime. Casualties numbered about 500. Shops and houses of suspected pro-Germans were burned. Moscow joined the revolution without bloodshed. That city was followed quickly by the garrisons at Kharkov and the seaport fortress of KronstadL Too late, the emperor hastened back from the front, only to find that the revolution had been successful and that a new government was in control. Russia's new regent—Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch—is a younger brother of the retiring emperor. Born December 4, 1878, he is 39 years of age. The regency is pending the majority of Alexis, the Czarevitch, 13 years of age, born August 12, 1904. One of the first acts of the revolutionaries, after obtaining control of the government, was to order the arrest of former Premier M. Sturmer and Premier Golitzine, who are in custody, together with the head of the secret police. The revolutionaries are governing the country by issuing decrees. These mandates are enforced by the army. The duma joined hands with the revolut^ a, on being dissolved by the emperor, and declared the existing government had been overthrown. Then the duma resumed i£s sittings, after It had sent to the emperor notification of developments, warning him that the fate of the dynasty depends on his acceptance of the new order of affairs. All the ministers resigned with the exception of M. Protopopoff. The jails were thrown open. The headquarters of the secret police and several government buildings were burned. Strict military rule prevails. The army has the situation so well in hand it is not expected adherents of the late government will be able to offer any serious resistance, even In remote provincs. The government of Petrograd is in the hands of a committee consisting of representatives o f ' t h e duma the zemstvoes and municipalities, presided over by President Rodzianko of the duma. The British and French ambassadors established official business relations with the executive committee of the duma. Events leading up to the revolution began with street demonstrations of worklngmen, who quit work as a protest against the shortage of bread. The first two days mounted patrols kept the crowds moving without resorting to violence. When ordered to fire on t h e people, they refused. Police were substituted and a battle occurred between them and the troops. Regiment after regiment joined the rebels, seizing arsenals and other .strategic points. The duma was dissolved by imperial order, effective March I I , the imperial ukase reading as follows: "Sittings of the duma are adjourned owing to extraordinary circumstances until further notice. They will be resumed not later than April/' The order diasotrlng the duma was issued by the emperor just before he left for the front recently. That trouble would result was evidently anticipated and the residents of Tsarkoe- Satow ware warned to make all arrsngejwnts to remain In the suburb for an indedmiU parted and the roads) leading to the town WON guarded. ; . > * * • = RAILROAD STRIKE HAS BEEN AVERTED MEDIATORS GIVEN AUTHORITY TO MAKE CONCESSIONS TO EMPLOYES. VICTORY FQR BROTHERHOODS Under the Agreement Men Will Get Ten Hours' Pay for Bight HounV Work. New York—The big railroad strike is off. The conference committee of railroad managers early Monday morning announced it had given authority to President Wilson's mediators to make any arrangements necessary with the four railroad brotherhoods to end the threatened nationwide walkout. The formal letter in which this authorization was made, signed by Elisha Lee, chairman of the railroad managers' committee, was as follows: "In this national crisis the national conference committee of railroads joins with you in the conviction that neither at home nor abroad should there be fear or hope that the efficient operation of the railroads of the country will be hampered or impaired. "Therefore, you are authorized to assure the nation there will be no strike. As the basis of such assurance, we hereby authorize the committee of the council of national defense to grant to the employes, who are about to strike, whatever adjustment your committee deems necessary to guarantee the uninterrupted and effected operation of the railroads as an indispensable arm of national defense." Secretary Lane, at the same time, said: "Regardless of the decision of the supreme court on the Adamson law, the eight-hour day will be effective. The details are being worked out by a joint committee. The men will get 10 hours' pay for eight hours' work, under the agreement. The concessions on the part of the managers are virtually what the employes contended they would gain under the Adamson law if it were declared constitutional. Immediately after Secretary Lane had made his announcement the brotherhood leaders sent telegrams to the general chairman of the railroads' organizations throughout the country informing them that the strike had been declared off. GERMANS IN FULL RETREAT British and French Troops Smashing Forward on Western Front. London—Advances over a front of about 100 miles by the British and French armies in France, and additional gains by the Russians and British over the Turks in Turkish Armenia, Persia and Mesophotamla are the outstanding features in the war on land. The important towns of Bapaume, Peronne, Chaulnes and Nesle, and more than 60 villages, have been taken by the British troops on a front of 46 miles, and King George's men are continuing their pursuit of the retreating Germans. Bapaume, the British objective in the Somme offensive, a stronghold characterized by Field Marshal Von Hlndenburg as impregnable, was taken by the British after stiff fighting with the German rear guard, and Roye and Las sign y, cities in t h e Oise river sector, which with strong fortified positions, have been held by. the Germans for more than two years, have fallen t o the French forces. The capture of Peronne looms up as the biggest event of the war in the winter campaign on t h e Belgian front, and the official dispatches indicate the retreat of the Germans is growing dally.

PALACE FOR A HORSE. Beauf 'r ul Stall Arranged For an Old Livary Animal. Watertown, Wis.—Rock, aged twenty- six years, a livery horse, will reside in a fine thrco story brick garage after May 1, the only four footed animal about the place except the office cat, Al Fred rich, liveryman, will change his bis establishment into a garage and auto livery and sell all hi* horses except Rock. This horse did his first livery work twenty-four years ago. Since that day he has not missed a men I of feed or cost a penny for veterinary service, lie has bad seven mates, all of whom have gone the way of the livery horse. but he still does his bit at funeral, wedding or party. After May 1 he will retiro to a box stall just a little less than gold plated. Mr. Fredrlch estimates that Rock has earned a sum that would about equal his present investment in building, live { stock and roiling stock. Gold. . Gold was known from the earliest I historic times and is mentioned in the; eleventh verse of tho second chapter of Genesis. At first it was chiefly used for ornaments.

TONNAGE TAX BILL IS PIGEON-HOLED CALLED FOR A SPECIFIC TAX ON COPPER, COAL AND IRON O R ^ FOUGHT BY MINE OWNERS Similar Bills Have Been Introduced and Sidetracked in Every Recent Legislature. (From Our Special Correspondent.) Lansing. The tonnage tax on mining products of the atate, a proposal with which every recent legislature has become familiar, was put before the house in a bill by Rep. Lewis. It called for a specific tax on copper of 1-2 cent a pound, 10 cents u ton on coal and 20 to 80 cents a ton on iron ore. Mining companies have always fought this tax as double taxation, because they pay taxes on the assessed valuation of their properties, which are being reduced in value as the ore is removed. The old arguments on the tonnage tax apparently were fresh in the minds of the house tax committee, •which discussed the bill the morning after Its introduction and decided to pigeon-hole it for the session. Compensation Bill Defeated. The Martin-Stewart bill to amend the workmen's compensation law and grant some increases In compensation to injured workmen has met defeat In the senate. Members opposing it said that the many small manufacturers throughout the etate already are burdened by the provisions of the present law and declined to aid in Increasing any of the payments under It. Members favoring it made a strenuous fight for it on the ground of taking care of the working-man 1n the face of Increased cost of living. By a vote of 16 to 12 it was tabled. Prospect Good for Budget Commission Present prospects are for the passage of a bill providing for a budget commission, as wanted by .Gov. Sleeper. The Foote house bill, for a commission of five to investigate budgets and report as soon as possible to the governor, is on Its way through the noise; while the senate has the amended Robert3-Deland bill that now provides fo: a commissi M- to investigate as welt a.> u< establish an immediate budget syrtem. investigate Detroit Art Museum. The house has adopted a resolution offered by Rep, Sheridan Ford to in* vestigate the Detroit Museum of Art to find if it has exceeded its lights as a private association. Rep. Ford charged that the museum has used city appropriations when it had no right to public money, because it Is not a public institution, and declared that it is run by "millionaire snobs." Road System Amendment Passed. Both houses have passed the resolution to submit an amendment to the constitution to provide for a road system that will inc.ude the county aystern, but leave it optional with the legislature to -vipe out the township system and the jobs of township highway commissioners and township overseers. "Family Protection" Bill. A bill regarded" as very important to fraternal companies, known as the "whole family protection" bill, has been reported out favorably by the senate insurance* committee. Under its provisions insurance can be placed on the lives of children whose parents are members of a fraternal society. Hits Fire Insurance Companies. A new insurance bill would require that fire insurance companies cannot insure property above its true value and may be held for the entire face of the policy In the event of loss. They would lose the right to do business in Michigan for 90 days for every violation of the law. Now Bills Galore. Now bills galore have been appearing in both house and senate since the house past** its resolution calling for aa adjoummant of the legislature on March 8L la fact, the Dills have been oonlng in, moth 'more rapidly since the adjournment resolution than they did before, row now think that the gjawlem can conclude before the Utter put of April. Bap. Crawford has introduced a f roa ik bUi, to apply to all public . In the stats, and to allow no to as charged far ire years tfcsr sttvo hooa agreed upon for Insurance and Railroad Hearings- Hearings of all aorta have featured the legislative work of the past week. Of principal interest, because of their wide scope, were the hearings on the Insurance and railroad bills, but there were numerous other bills also thrown open to discussion by speakers from outside the legislative halls, and the oratory that resulted left no doubt as to the public concern in all the matters at issue. The codified insurance laws, prepared for this legislature by order ol the 1915 legislature, embrace everything in the line of Insurance legislation in Michigan, together with a number of proposed revisions in the laws. Because of the field covered by them , the joint insurance committees of the house and senate ordered a series of hearings for a week, giving a day to fire insurance men, a day to life, fraternal and reciprocal men, a day to casualty men, and a day to mutual insurance men. Some heated debates occurred in the fire Insurance hearing over the anti-discrimination law, which is incorporated In the new code, but the other hearings were not marked by undue excitement. Rather they were featured by discussions of the phraseology of the laws, with various sug gestionis made as to improvements that might be obtained by word changes. The railroad hearings were fraught with much interest to everyone, shippers taking an active hand along with railroad men. Many of the shippers favor an increase in passenger rates from 2 to 2½ or 3 cents a mile. Freight conditions are said to be responsible for this feeling. In fact, Ray R. Darwin, of the Michigan Shippers' Association, at one of the hearings said he and his association were willing to back up a 3-cent passenger fare law, but wanted to be assured that the roads would move freight shipments ten miles or more per hour. W. C. Brown, of the Michigan Central, made the statement that in February his road had run $270,000 behind. W. C. Wishart, of New York, chairman of the accounting committee of the railroads' association, presented many figures to back up his contention that the railroads are in need of increased fares because of heavy increases in all their expenses while their rate receipts stood still. At the outset of the hearings the railroad men had the floor, presenting their reasons why they think they are entitled to raise rates. The battle against the increases is expected to follow much the same line as that of two years ago, when the roads were defeated in their efforts for a 3-cent fare after a fight extending over two months. THREE AMERICAN STEAMSHIPS SUNK A L L WERE BUILT AND OWNED AND MANNED LARGELY BY AMERICAN CITIZENS. TWENTY-TWO MEN MISSING Unofficially Admitted That Acts Virtually Place U. S. in a State of War. Washington — Three American steamships have been sunk- by German submarines. Twenty-two of their men, most of them American citizens, were missing. The vessels sunk were the City of Memphis, IllinoiB and Vigilancia. The members of the crew of the Illinois have been landed without loss of life. Of the three ships destroyed, two of them were unloaded and homeward bound, and all were American built, American owned and officered and manned largely by American citizens. Meager dispatches indicate that all were sunk with complete disregard for the safety of those on board, and that some of the members of the crew may have been lost. With the announcement of the ruthless destruction of three unarmed american merchant ships by submarines, it was unofficially admitted -that virtually a state of war exists between the United States and Germany. Technically, the United States remains in a position of armed neutralit y . Whether his shall be changed April 16, the date fixed for a special session of congress, the war-making branch of the government, President Wilson has not decided. International lawyers and constitutional experts showed no hesitancy in saying that President Wilson has full authority to interpret this as an act of war, and announce that this country considers that an actual state of war exists by reason of German's flagrant assault on American shipping. All of the conditions outlined by the president in his message announcing the diplomatic break with Germany as leading to a state of armed neutrality have now been fulfilled. The "overt act," described by him before, has actually come. FRENCH PREMIER OUSTED Recommends New License System. Secretary of State Vaughan rec ommends changing the system of li censing automobiles to fill out many of the loopholes in t h e present law. The main points in Mr. Vaughan's , recommendations are: i 1—Make the license fee 50 oents i a horsepower for pleasure cars ar.d cut out all reference to weight. \ 2—Make license fee for electric , pleasure oars $3 flat. | 3—Make truck license fee 30 cents a horsepower. 4—Make motorcycle license fee 50 cents a horsepower, with no reference to weight, and a minimum fee of |2. 5—Give the secretary of state ] authority to name inspectors to check up on cars, whose duty 1t shall be to visit garage and ferret out any cars violating the license law. 6—Give the secretary of state authority to annul any license Issued to a chauffeur and a right to refuse any application for a license for a car, for cause, 7—Make the age limit for drivers of cars definite, perhaps IS years. 8—Make it a midemeanor to changfl the numbers on plates or to tamper with the plates in any manner. Already there are several bills In the legislature which cover the last four or five recommendations, but not the changes in fees. The discarding of the weight proposition arises from the fact that the exact weight of cars is a tough problem to solve. During the last two years the state department has heen in trouble all the time over thG weight of cars, no two of the same model seeming to weigh the same. The department finds, according to Mr. Vaughan, that if the fee a horsepower were doubled, the total fds would be just about (he tame as the present system of 21 cents a horse power and 25 cents a 100 pounds. As for the trucks, it is thought that the bill now in the senate on th* o n of tracks in the highways will keei them within bounds and the charge of 80 cents a horsepower Is consider M sufficient i Both houses passed the bill whicl raises from $10 to $25 a year ths tuition per pupil when a townshli which has no high school sends pu pits to outside high schools. ARTISTIDE BRIAND. Paris—The French cabinet, headed by Premier Briand, has resigned. The Briand ministry had been attacked in the French parliament repeatedly during the last few weeks on account of its economic policy. It succeeded the Viriani cabinet in October, 1915, and was reorganised last December 12, when the number of ministerial portfolios was decreased and a war council appointed. The war council included Premier Briand, M. Rlbot, minister of Finance; General Lyautey, minister of war; Bear Admiral Lacase, minister of marine, and M. Thomas, minister of national -manufactures.

PAYS FOR 180 ACRES OF LAND From the Crop of Wheat on 53 Acres in Western Canada. This story of paying for your land out of oue year's crop is fully authenticated by a great many farmers in Western Canada. And now, all that the farmer.makes is velvet and you find him going more extensively into stock raising, for all authorities agree that in a short time there will be a demand for live stock, such as even will tax the vast resources of Western Canada. They will go Into stock raising because of the adaptability of the country to provide food and fodder without feeding grain If necessary. They will go Into stock and Improve their places. Taey will Install steam and heating plants— in fact, many are now doing it. They will have automobiles, In fact in many districts there is not a farmer but has one. They will beautify their homes and erect fine barns until the whole country will be as attractive as many of the counties in the best states in the Union. But we started out to tell you of the farmer who paid for 160 acres of land from the crop of wheat off of 53 acres. The Holden district on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific does not appear to the ordinary observer to be any better than many other districts along that line, and probably isn't. It was In this district that John Larcome, a settler, purchased in 1D15 160 acres of raw prairie land. He broke' and seeded 53 acres. His crop turned out well, and he sold the greater portion of it for $2,970. His land cost him $16.50 per acre, or $2,640. So that the crop from the 53 acres paid for the land and left a balance of over $300, which with part of the crop left over would Just pay for the cost of operation. This is not really an unusual case, hundreds of other farmers in Alberta afld Saskatchewan having been able to do the same. Sales of land are being reported from many districts In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta at good prices. And values are yet low, but with the flow of any value that will take place after the war, no doubt they will be considerably Increased. The homesteads in the Park sections which are to be had actually free are having the attention of a good class of settlers, who want to go into mixed fanning.— Advertisement.

Newspaper reports apparently have not gone to the bottom of the situation. Trouble- making circumstances between the Mexican and American peoples are deeper than one or two or half a dozen raids on border towns by outlaw gangs, and these circumstances won't work themselves out satisfactorily in a week or a month or a year. Yes, Mr. Beach has given us a picture of conditions.

The Water-Hole. A fitful breeze played among the mesquite bushes. The naked earth, where It showed between the clumps of grass, was baked plaster hard. Although the sun was half-way down the west, Its glare remained untempered, and the tantalizing shade of the sparse mesquite was more of a trial than a comfort to the lone woman who, refusing Its deceitful invitation, plodded steadily over the waste. Stop, indeed, she dared not. In spite of her fatigue, regardless of the tortare from feet and limbs unused to walking, she must, as she constantly assured herself, keep going until strength failed. Somewhere to the northward, perhaps a mile, perhaps a league distant, lay the waterhole. Desert travel was nothing new to her; thiftt and fatigue were old acquaintances. She readjusted the strap of the empty water bag over her shoulder and the loose cartridge belt at her folp, then set her dusty feet down the slope. The sun had grown red and •huge when at Sast in the hard-baked earth she discovered fresh hoofprlnts. •She followed them gladly, encouraged when they were Joined by others. A low bluff rose on her left, end along Its Crest scattered Spanish daggers were raggedly silhouetted against the sky. She tried to run, but tier legs were heavy; she stumbled a great deal, and her breath made Strange, distressing sounds as it issued from her open lips. Rounding the steep shoulder of the ridge, she hastended down a declivity into a knot.of scrub oaks and ebony trees, then halted, staring ahead of her." Nestling in a shallow, flinty bowl was a pool of water, and on its brink a little fire was burniDg. It was a tiny fire, overhung with a blackened pot; the odor of greasewood and mesquite smoke was sharp* A man, rising swiftly to his feet at the first sound, was staring at the newcomer ; he was as alert as any wild thing. But the woman staggered directly toward the pond, seeing nothing after the first glance except the water. She would have flung herself full length upon. the edge, but the man stepped forward ana stayed her, then placed a tin cup In her hand. She mumbled something in answer to his greeting and the hoarse, ravenlike croak in her voice startled h e r ; then she drank, with trembUng eagerness, drenching the front of her dress. The water was warm, but it was clean and delicious. "Easy now. Take your time," said the man, as he refilled the cup. "It won't give o u t * She knelt and wet her face and neck. Felt the stranger's hands beneath her arms, felt herself lifted to a more comfortable position. Without asking permission, the stranger unlaced first one, then the other of her dusty boots, seaming not to notice her weak attempt a t resistance. Once he had placed h e r bare feet in the water, she forgot her resentment in the intense relief. The man left her seated in a collapsed, semiconscious state, and went back to his fire. It was dark when for the first time she turned her head toward the camp fire and stared curiously at the figure there. The appetising odor of broiling bacon had drawn her attention, and as if no mora went unnoticed the man said, without lifting his eyes: "Supper will ha ready directly. How*d jroo like your tff spotka wttn an vnntistakaMa us drawl; the woman put biw down at once for a cowboy. Well back from the fire he had arranged a seat for her, using a saddle blanket for a covering, and upon this she lowered herself stiffly. "I suppose you wonder how I—happen to be here," she said. "Now don't talk 'til you're rested, miss. This coffee is strong enough to walk on its hands, and I reckon about two cups of it '11 rastle you into shape." As she raised the tin mug to her lips he waved a hand and smiled. "Drink hearty !" He set a plate of bread and bacon in her lap, then opened a glass jar of jam. The woman ate and drank slowly. She was too tired to be hungry, and meanwhile the young man squatted upon his heels and watched her | through the smoke from a husk cigarette. "Have you had your supper?'* she finally inquired. "Who, me? Oh, I'll eat with the help." He smiled, and when his flashing teeth showed white against his leathery tan the woman decided he was not at all bad-looking. He was very tall and quite lean, with the long legs of a horseman—this latter feature accentuated by his high-heeled boots and by the short canvas cowboy coat that reached only to his cartridge belt. His features she could not well make out, for the fire was little more than a bed of coals, and he fed it, Indianlike, with a twig or two at a time. "I beg your pardon. I'm selfish." She extended her cup and plate as an invitation for him to share their contents. "Please eat with me." But he refused. "I ain't hungry,"£e affirmed. "Honest!" Accustomed as she was to the diffidence of ranch hands, she refrained from urging him, and proceeded with her repast. When she had finished she lay back and watched him as he ate sparingly. "My horse fell crossing the Arroyo Grande," she announced' abruptly. "He broke a leg, and I had to shoot him." "Is there any water in the Grande?" asked the man. "No. They told rae there was plenty. I knew of this charco, so I made for i t " "Who told you there was water In the arroyo?" "Those Mexicans at the little goatranch." "Balll. So you walked in from Arroyo Grande. It's a good ten miles straightaway, and I reckon you came crooked. Eh?" "Yes. And it was very hot. I was tiever here but once, and—the country looks different when you're afoot." "It certainly does," the man nodded. Then he continued, musingly: "No water there, eh? I figured there might be a little." The fact appeared to please him, for he nodded again as he went on with his meal. "Not much rain down here, I reckon." "Very little. Where are you from?" "Me? Hebbronvllle. My name is Law." Evidently, thought the woman, this fellow belonged to the East outfit, or some of the other big cattle ranches in the Hebbronvllle district. Probably he was a range boss or a footman. After a time she said, "I suppose the nearest ranch is that Balll place?" "Yes»m.M •Td like to borrow your horse." Mr. Law stared into his plate. "Well, miss, Trn afraid—" She added, hastily, T i l send you a fresh one by Balli's boy in the morning." Law shook his head. "I c a n t loan yon my horse, miss. I got to meet a man here." ••When will he come?" "He'd ought to be here at early dark tomorrow evening." Heedless of her dismay, he continued, "Yes'm, about sundown." ••But—I c a n t stay here, m ride to Balli's and have your horse back by afternoon." "My man might come earlier than I expect," Mr. Law persisted. ••Really, I can't see what difference It would make. It wouldn't Interfere with your appointment to let me—" Law smiled slowly, and, setting his plate aside, selected a freah cigarette; then, as he reached for a coal, he explained : •1 h a v e n t got what you'd can exactly an appointment. This feller I*m expectta' la a Mexican, and day before yesterday ha killed a man over in Jim Wells county. They got ma by *pbona at Hebbronvllle and told ma he'd loft {He's fctadu' for the border, and W a dseharaaboBt royo Grande's dry. i was almin' to let you ride his horse." "Then—you're an officer?' "Yes'm. Ranger. So you see I can't help you to get home till my man comes. Do you live around here?" The speaker looked up Inquiringly, and after an instant's hesitation the woman said quietly: "I am Mrs, Austin." She was grateful for the gloom that hid her face. "I rode out this way to examine a tract of grazing land." It seemed fully a minute before the Ranger answered; then he said, in a casual tone, "I reckon Las Palinas is quite a ranch, ma'am." "Yes. But w c need more pasture." "I know your La Feria ranch, too. I was with General Castro when we had that fight near there." "You were a Maderista?" "Yes'm. Machine-gun man. That's a fine country over there. Seems like the Almighty got mixed and put the Mexicans on the wrong side of the Jtio Grande. But I reckon you haven't seen much of La Feria since the last revolution broke out." "No. We have tried to remain neutral, but—" Again she hesitated. "Mr. Austin has enemies. Fortunately both sides have spared La Feria." • Law shrugged his broad shoulders. "Oh, well, the revolution isn't over! A ranch In Mexico is my idea of a bad investment." He rose and, taking his blanket, sought a favorable spot upon which to spread It. Then he helped Mrs. Austin to her feet—her muscles had stiffened until she could barely stand—after which he fetched his saddle for a pillow. He made no apologies for his meager hospitality, nor did his guest expect any. When he had staked out his horse for the night he returned to find the woman rolled snugly In her covering, as in a cocoon. The dying embers flickered into flame and lit her hair redly. She had laid off her felt hat, and one loosened bratd lay over her hard pillow. Thinking her asleep, Law stood motionless, making no attempt to hide his expression of wonderment until, unexpectedly, she spoke. "What will you do with rae when your Mexican comes?" she said. "Well, mn'am. I reckon I'll hide you out in the brush till I tame him." "Thank you. I'm used to the open." He nodded as if he well Knew that she w a s ; then, shaking out his slicker, turned away. As he lay staring up through the thorny mesquite branches that roofed him inadequately from the dew, he marveled mightily. A bright, steadyburning star peeped through the leaves at him, and as he watched it he remembered that this red-haired woman with the still, white face was known far and wide through the lower valley as "The Lone Star." Well, he mused, the name fitted her; she was, if reports were true, quite as mysterious, quite as cold and fixed and unapproachable, as the title Implied. Knowledge of her Identity had come as a shock, for Law knew something of her history, and to find her suing for his protection was quite thrilling. Tales of her pale beauty were common and not tame, but she was all and more than she had been described. She had not been too proud and cold to let him help her. In her fatigue she had allowed him to lift her and to make her more comfortable. Hot against his palms—palms unaccustomed to the touch of a woman's flesh —be felt the contact of her naked feet, as at the moment when he had placed them in the cooling water. Her feeble resistance had only called attention to her sex—to the slim whiteness of her ankles beneath her short riding skirt.~] Following his first amazement at beholding her had come a fantastic explanation of her presence—for a moment or two it had seemed as if the fates had taken heed of his yearnings and had sent her to him out of the dusk—wild fancies, like these, bother men who are much alone. chared the valley's rim uiul the ground was damp with dew. Somewhere near by an unfamiliar bird wus sweetly ^trilling. Alaire listened d'eaniily until the bird-carol changed to the air of a familiar cowboy song, then she sat up, queerly startled. David Law was watering his horsp, grooming the animal meanwhile with a burlap cloth. It was a beautiful blood-bay mare, and as the woman looked it-.lifted its head, thon with wet, trembling muzzle cayesued Its owner's cheek. Undoubtedly this attention was meant for a klsi>. an,d was as daintily conferred as any woman's favor. It brought a reward U a lump of sugar. "Good morning," said Mrs. Ausiln. Law lifted his hat in a graceful salute as he approached around t'he edge of. the pool, his spurs jingling musically. The mare followed. "You have a fine horse there." "Yes'm. Her and me get along all right. I hope we didn't wake you, malum." "No. I was too tired to sleep well." "Of course. I heard you stirring about during the night." Law paused, and the mare, with sharp ears cocted forward, looked over his sbouldor inquisitively. "Tell the lady good moaning, Bessie Belle," he directed. The animal flung its hftud high, (hen stepped forward anC, stretching its neck, sniffed doubtfully at the visitor. "What a graceful bow!" Mrs. Austin laughed. "You taught her that, I presume." "Yes'm ! She'd never been to schr>ol when I got her; she was plumb Ignorant. But she's got all the airs of a fine lady now. Sometimes I go without sugar, but Bessie Belle neser does." "And you with a sweet tooth!" The Ranger smiled pleasantly. "She's as easy as a rockin' chair. We're kind of sweethearts. Ain't we, kid?" Again Bessie Belle tossed h«r head high. "That's 'yes,' with the reverse English," the speaker explained. He would not permit her to help with the breakfast, so she lay back watering her host, whose personality, now that she saw hira by daylight, hod begun to challenge her interest. Physically Law was of an admirable mako —considerably over six feet In height, | with wide shoulders and lean, strong limbs. Although his face was schooled to mask all but the keenest emotions, a pair of blue-gray, meditative eyes, with a whimsical fashion of wrinkling half-shut when he talked, relieved a countenance that otherwise would have been a trifle grim and somber. The nose was prominent and boldly arched, the mouth was thin-lipped and mobile. In his face there was nothing animal in a bad sense. Certainly it ^showed no grossness. The man, despite his careless use of the plains vernacular, seemed to be rather above the average In education and intelligence. On the whole, she rather resented the good impression Law had made upon her, for on general principles she chose to dislike and distrust men. Rising, she walked painfully ta the pond and made a leisurely toilet Breakfast was ready when Bhe returned, and once more the man sat upon his heels and smoked while Bhe ate. After a while she remarked: 'To* glad to see a Ranger in this country. There has been a lot of stealing down our way, and the association men can't seem to stop i t Perhaps yotf can.1* "The Rangers have a reputation In that line," he admitted. "But there is stealing all up and down the border, since the war." "The ranchers have organized. They have formed a sort of vigilance committee In each town, and talk of using bloodhounds." OF Are Greatly Favored With Mutual Insurance. The farmer of the state as well as* the lawyer and bunker feels the need of keeping his automobile insured against the damage claims and suits together with fire and theft. When the farmers began to buy automobiles they found that with the increased number, accidents would often occur in which some person would be Injured, a horse would become frightened, running away and injuring the driver, etc. Damage claims were brought entailing the expense of defending a lawsuit or paying a large Judgment, possibly $o,000. This condition has created a demand. Michigan is the only state that lma a large mutual insurance company protecting against tire, theft, and liability and its rapid growth and success is being watched by other states. The cost in stock conipnuies for this Insurance has been about $50 per year, but on the mutual plan with a large membership It is estimated that the citst is about 2 cents per day. A man who is able to own an automobile is willing to lay aside a few dollars each year to protect this car against fire and theft and the accumulations of years from damage suits. The past week an automobile was stolen from Arthur Sine, a farmer near Springport; another one was stolen from the barn from David LuBlanc, Romulus; a car burned on a farm near Jonesville, and another one uear Frankenmuth. 1« every paper you read of damages done by automobile owners to person and property. As only about 47c die leaving an estate of over $1,000 but few art1 able to stand heavy losses without protection ; that is reason that 17,000 policies have been issued by the Citizens' Mutual Automobile Insurance Company of Howell. The cost Is $1.00 for policy plus 25 cents per H. P. to join. The Company is now starting on the third season; 24,"> claims have been promptly paid. Write William K.

THE ROSE CITY They call Portland, Ore., the Rose city. With Its yearly festival where 5,000,000 rose plants are on view it seems to rightly deserve the title. A visit to Peninsula park, In the heart of the Oregon city, during festival week, which is usually the first week in June, one can see 1,000,000 rose flowers, covering more than 700 varieties all In bloom at one time.

If placed in n row this display alone would reach from Portland to the Pacific ocean 100 miles along the shore line of the Willamette and Columbia rivers. VIOLETS By LIMA R. ROSE. Violets are the flowers that seem most In vogue always. Unfortunately their season is short in comparison with the numerous hothouse flowers. Notwithstanding the vast strides this Industry has made in the past ten years, violet culture is little understood. Raising them to perfection involves endless care and continual battle against Insect life at the leaf and stem, while rot may attack the root. Then comes constant cultivation every day In the yean In the spring all plants are thrown away and the houses restocked and all the earth taken out and replenished from a new supply. During the winter months various stimulating fertilisers must be used on the soil and all vegetable growth cleared away. If allowed to accumulate It would sap the strength of the plants and absorb the nutriment given by this top dressing. Then the withered leaves, dead or poor blooms, must be removed, and water given in the right quantities. The principal revenue in the violet business is reaped from November to May. In this respect it differs from regular greenhouses where . all varieties of flowers are grown. After May the violets grow smaller as the heat increases. Then the plants are thrown out and the houses thoroughly renovated and emptied preparatory to the planting of the new stock. The propagating houses are then emptied also, the young plants being transplanted, as far as desired, in the regular houses, or set In the open ground for a few weeks, after which the planting of the houses Is completed and the surplus stock sold. By autumn these cuttings have grown Into full-fledged plants and commenced to bloom. These bloomers are small at first, but gradually increase in size as the cold winter days set in and the temperature can be reduced to the desired point As long as the violet sheds its glorious perfume will It be the flower of the hour and worthy of cultivation to the lover of flowers or as a financial proposition. There Is money and joy in it. (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) . MAKING FOOL OF HIMSELF. "Because one man out of ten m&kes a tool of himself is no reason why the other nine should be deprived of the pleasure of drink." Replying to this proliquor argument, Ciarence True Wilson, prohibition speaker, says: *4Yes; but it doea not stop with one man's making a fool of himself. The trouble is that he makes, too often, a wild beast of himself. The trouble is that in that condition he is liable to make a corpse of somebody else. If one man out of ten, or one out of fifty, turned out by a saloon is for the time being a maniac, it is about time to shut up the saloon and let the other forty-nine men, gratify thelt appetites in a less hazardous way. If one coat out of every ten made from South American wool were found to engender insanity in the wearer, would the public do right to pass a law, if necessary, preventing the manufacture or sale of such coats? If one man out of every ten that ate ice cream was found to be afflicted with an incurable disease that made him a danger to passers-by,-how' long before the law would throttle the ice cream restaurants? "If liquor were an entirely new thing, just introduced into the country, and the effects were at once ascertained to be what they are known to be, a prohibitory law would be passed by acclamation."

The Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress concluded that while whisky and brandy made a man crazy, beer tends to make him stupid. Doctor Forel of the University of Zurich says: "The drinking of beer has killed the Ideals and ethics and has produced an incredible vulgarity." The reason for the sottishness is that each pint of beer contains a small quantity of pure alcohol, a percentage of lupulin, the active principle of hops, which acts very much like the poisonous principle of Indian hemp. At one time Indian hemp was used as a medicine, but it had to be abandoned on account of its varying and poisonous characteristics. Doctor Delbruck, another authority, says that beer and wine drinking countries such as France, Germany," Belgium and Bavaria, are more alcohol soaked than the whisky and brandy countries, and states that the beer danger Is much greater than, the spirit danger. TAKE CARE OF YOUR FERNS If your Boston fern becomes yellow and droopy-looking and refuses to respond to ypur most loving efforts to cheer and rotwe, It here is a fertilizer th'at is said to give the most wonderful results. Use one tablespoonful of dibasic ammonium phosphate and one of potassium nitrate, dissolved in one gallon of water. Pour*one pint of the solution on the roots of the fern once a week for three weeks. In the meantime give the plant a little pl'fn water every other day. This will prove a valuable tonic and invariably prodnca new prpwth\ CONSUMPTION OF LIQUOR. The Internal revenue department of the United States has made public figures from its 1915 report which definitely and conclusively dispose of one of the stock arguments of the liquor interests, namely, that prohibition does not prohibit and that with the growth of dry territory the consumption ofliquor increases. Notwithstanding indications on every hand to the contrary, journals of the liquor trade, anti-prohibition platform orators and writers of liquor publicity articles in the general press reiterate the statement that legislation has not had, and never will have, any' effect upon the amount of liquor consumed. The statistics given out by the internal revenue department, to the effect that the internal revenue tax *on spirituous liquors Is decreasing at the rata of | 1 , - 250,000 every month, most effectively dispose of these falsifications.

The newest and largest of United States battleships, the Mississippi, waa christened with water from the Mississippi river. When people stop to consider the symbolism of the christening, rite, religious or nautical, water is invariably chosen- .

SEE FAILURE IN THE~H0ME Growing Laxity in Discipline There Declared a Crime Cause by Prison Directors, . Growing laxity In mental and moral training and discipline in the home Is responsible In a large measure for the unprecedented growth of population at California's prison and reformatories during the last two years, foe Sacramento Bee observes. This Is charged by the state board of prison directors in the biennial report filed with Gov-. ernor Johnson. There appears to be an Increasing disposition among parents to place pleasure above duty and to place much of the responsibility of parenthood on the state, a condition that should not be tolerated, the report says. The responsibility of the home is taken up tn the report "It should be made the Imperative legal as well as moral duty of parents to rear children properly," it Is declared. "If the moral training of chil* dren I s neglected; If they are not taught self-control; If no rules of home conduct are promulgated or being promulgated, children are permitted to disregard or evade them, it may be expected that s w h children, when grown, will not give due attention te rules of * organized society." Pneumatic Tires for Hiking Shoes. Taking bis inspiration from automobile tires, and going the ordinary rubber heel one better, Oscar Musstnan of New York city has invented a pneumatic tire for his own shaes. The "tire" differs very decidedly from the ordinary heels in that a partition of rubber is built in It half way up its thickness. The partition thus forms an air chamber with the bottom of the leather above it, and still another one with the ground when the heel comes down upon it, explains the Popular Science Monthly. Eeach of these two chambers is connected with the outside air by a small opening. When the heel strikes the ground, the air in the chambers becomes slightly compressed, causing the jolt of the walking to be very greatly cushioned in a manner very much similar to that in which the automobile tire cushions the jolts of riding. To prevent the air from becoming too suddenly compressed and so putting the bottom of the heels out of shape, the air is allowed to escape slowly through the openings. The performance should always be judged by the opportunity. Before He Changed His Mmd, . Full—Kidder proposed to Miss Oldgirl last night FuHer--Did she take him seriously?

Fourteen regiments or battaliona are affeected. The troops called are: Massachusetts, Second and Ninth regiments; Pennsylvania, First and Third regimeats; Maryland, Fourth regiment; District of Columbia, First separate battalion; Virginia, Second regiment; Vermont, Company B, First regiment; Connecticut, First regi- j merit; New York, Second and Seven- [ j ty-flrst regiment; New Jersey, First and Fifth regiments; Delaware, First battalion, First regiment. The following organizations which are now in \ the' federal seryice will not be mustered out: Thirteenth Pennsylvania; Companies A and B of the First Georgia." * The national guard organizations will be assigned the task of guarding munition plants, bridges and railroad communications, all strategic military points and, in general, all public property from violence that may follow a declaration of war or a state of war. The authorized strength of the organizations called out is in excess of 25,000 men. Healths Skin Depends On Kidneys The skin and the intentines, which work together with the kidneys to throw out the poisons of the body, do a part of the work, but a clean body and a healthy one depends on the kidneys. If the kidneys are clogged with toxic poisons you suffer from stiffness in the khees. In the morning on arising, your joints seem "rusty," you rnay^have rheumatic pains, pain in the back, stiff neck, headaches, sometimes swollen feet, or neuralgic pains—all due to the uric acid or toxic poisons in the blood. This Is the time to go to the nearest drug store and simply obtain a 50c. package of Anuric (double or triple strength), the discovery of Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y. Then drink a cup of hot water before meals, with an Anuric' Tablet, and notice the gratifying results. Yon will find Anuric more active than llthla. HOME FOLKS TESTIFY Corunna, Mich.—"I had been sick a long time with kidney and bladder trouble. Had ijftckache ail the1 time. I did everything, bat could not find any relief. One day I saw an advertisement of Anuric in the paper. I sent 10 cents to Dr. V. M. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y„ for a trial package. The sample did me so much good that I got more from the druggist I can't begin to tell what Anuric has done for me. I will speak a good word for it, for I can't be too grateful."—MRS. JULIA MONTFORT, Corunna, Mich. Pleasant Pellets for stomach, liver and bowels, are made up of the Mayapple, aloe leaves and Jalap. This wellknown pellet was made up nearly fifty years ago, by Dr. Pierce, and can be had for a quarter from almost any apothecary or send 25 cents in stamps to Dr. Pierce, Irvalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.

Washington—Contracts for supplies j sufficient for an army of half a million men have been drawn by the council of national defense. These contracts will be awarded the moment war ii declared and within an hour the making of deliveries will be under way, j The contracts were drawn imme- : diateiy after Howard E. Coffin, of De- j troit, chairman of the committee on ! •industry, reported tbat a survey of the nation's resources has been completed and every manufacturing concern that can make goods needed by an army listed. The contracts are made out individually to the various concerns that can supply the goods needed for the army of 600,000, assurance having already been made that work upon them will be prosecuted with the utmost vigor. SPY SUSPECTS ARE WATCHED Secret Service Men Have Thousands Under Surveillance. Washington—An army of secret service men and agents of the department of justice, spreading a dragnet from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to the Mexican border, have under surveillance thousands of **spy suspects" and German sympathizers. A declaration of war between the United States and Germany will be followed immediately by wholesale arrests and internments. Among the thousands under surveillance are a vast number of German reservists, caught in the United States at the outbreak of the European war and unable to get back to the German army. Every reservist has been listed by the secret agents, after a vast amount of labor, and a war declaration would be the signal for their Immediate apprehension. Canada Offers 160 Acres Free to Farm Hands Bonus of Western Canada Land to Men Assisting in Maintaining Needed Grain Production The demand for farm labor in Canada is great As an inducement to secure the necessary help at once, Canada will give ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES OF LAND FREE AS A HOMESTEAD and allow the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the land, to apply as residence duties, the same as if he actually had lived on it Another special concession is the reduction of one year in the time to complete duties. Two years instead of three as heretofore, but only to men working on the farms for at least six months in 1917. This'appeal for farm help is in no way connected with enlistment for raifitarx service but solely to increase agricultural output A wonderful opportunity to secure a farm and draw good wages at the same time.

P , Mortenson, Pinckney, Mich. The Wilson Packing Co. i At the election April 2nd, Livingston County will have a candidate for the office of Circuit Judge for the first time in 18 years. Livingston County is a part of the thirty-fifth judicial district. This district was formed 22 years ago, in 1895. During that time the office of Circuit Judge has been held in Livingston County for only THREE MONTHS. This was bv Luke S. Montague, when the district was first organized. During the balance of the time the position has been given to a Shiawassee County man. Shiawassee ] has a much larger population than Livingston but the spirit of fairness demands that Livingston be given a part, at least, of the representation. If Livingston is even to have i ts fair part of the office it must be by the concerted action of all voters. The opportunity for such action will come on April 2nd. Politics ought not to play any part in the election of our judge. Tie people want judges for reasons of sound legal knowledge, competent fairness, the right kind of temperament, qualities that will assure citizens an impartial and intellegent hearing of the lawsuit in which most of us at one time or another of our lives find ourselves entangled. An X before the name of Mr. Van- Winkle will be a step in that direction. ffge^B^eM Sell Old Iron Now is the time of year to dispose of your 01(3 Iron, as the profit is to small to bother with n the summer time.

Probable That Further Increases Will Be Asked When Congress Convenes. ••i£:l Washington—The need of men and more men to man the navy, which forms the nation's first line of defense, was emphasized when President Wilson, by executive orders, increased the authorized enlisted strength of the fleet to 87,000 men. The order, issued under authority of the naval appropriation act of the present year, would add 19,009- bluejackets to the enlisted personnel. Every man will be needed for the new ships being rushed to completion, the reserve fleet ordered into commission and the mosquito fleet of "submarine chasers," which have been ordered constructed in record time. It is probable that a further Increase in the legal limit will be asked when congress convenes. Meantime the navy department will continue its' orders to rush construction. Secretary Daniels and his aides are conferring daily with the shipbuilders and with the manufacturers of material for the building of the enormous naval program now contracted fox. 2 NEW ARMY DEPARTMENTS Hereafter There Will Be Six Instead of Four in Regular Afhiy.

The state department announcement of the withdrawal of the Americans was couched i n the most vigo roug language the administration has used in the international crisis. It declared that to feed the Belgians the Americans involved "have submitted to restrictions, imiposed upon them by German authorities, which under ordinary conditions would never have been tolerated: The Germans, says the statement, deprived Minister Whitlock of all diplomatic privileges as soon as relations between the United States and Germany were broken.

He added, meditatively, "Dog ain't such bad eatln', either." "Have you tried It?" Mr. Law nodded "Did you Join the Maderistas for excitement?" • "Mostly. Then, too, I believed Panchlto Madero was honest and would give the peons land. An honest Mexican is worth fightln' for, anywhere. The pel ados are still struggling for their land—for that and a chance to-J live and work and be happy." Mrs. Austin stirred Impatiently. "They are fighting because they are told to fight There is ao patriotism In, them," said she. ' ul think," he said, with grave dellberaieness, "the majority feel something big and vague and powerful stirring Inside them. They don't know exactly what it Is, perhaps, but it is there. Mexico has outgrown her dictators. They have been overthrown by the same causes that brought on the French Revolution." "The French Revolution!" JJalre leaned forward, eying the speaker with startled Intensity. "What do you know about the French Revolution T Reaching for a coal, the Ranger spoke without facing her. "I've read a good bit, ma'am, and I'm a noble listener. I remember good, too. Why, I had a picture of the Bastille once." He pronounced It "Bastllly," and his hearer settled back. '•That was some calaboose, now, wasn't it?" A moment later he tndulred, ingenuously, "I donU suppose you ever saw that Bastille, did you?" "No.-. Only the place where it stood.** "Sho'! You must have traveled right smart for such a young lady." He beamed amiably upon her. There was something winning about this young man's modesty, and something flattering in his respectful admiration. He seemed, also, sto know his place, a fact which was even more In his favor. Undoubtedly he had force and ability; probably his love of adventure and a happy lack of settled purpose had led him to neglect his more commonplace opportunities and sent him into the Ranger service. This man had been denied what she termed education; therefore she decided to put one in his way, "Do you ilke to readT* she asfeed Mm. "Sayl It's my favorite form of exercise."

But -one eannot sleep well with a tropic sun in the heaven*, and since there was really nothing for her to do until the heat abated, Alalre, when she awoke, obliged the Banger to amino her. As the morning progressed Law proved himself an Interesting companion, and la spite of the discomforts-of the situation tto hours slipped rap- Idly.

Nor did h* seem to waste a thought upon th* nature of that grim business Which brought him to this place. Quite the contrary, in the afternoon he put his mare through her tricks for Alaire's edification, and gossiped idly of whatever interested his guest. Then as the sun edged to the west and Mrs. Austin became restless, he saddled Bessie Belle and led her down the gulch into a safer covert Returning, he carefully obliterated all traces of the camp. He watered the ashes of the fire, gathered up the telltale scraps of paper and fragments of food, and then when the place suited him fell to examining his rifle. Alalre watched him with Interest "Where shall I go" she asked, "and what shall I do?" "You just pick out a good cover beyond the water hole and stay there, ma'am. It may be a long wait, for something may have happened. If so, we'll have to lie close. And don't worry yourself none, ma'am; he won't make no trouble." With the sunset the water hole tay sleeping. Alaire's retreat was far from comfortable ,- there was an ants' nest somewhere near her and she thought of moving; but suddenly her breath caught and her heart jumped uncontrollably. She crouched lower, for directly opposite her position, and outlined against the sky where the sharp ridge cut i t was the figure of a mounted man. She was conscious that a keen and hostile pair of eyes was searching the coverts surrounding the charco. Then, as silently as ft had appeared, the apparition vanished beyond the ridge. Alalre lay closo, as she had been directed, praying that the horseman had been warned; but shortly she heard again the rustle of stiff branches, and out into the opening rode a Mexican. He was astride a wiry gray pony, and In the strong twilight Alalre could see his every feature—the swarthy cheeks, the roving eyes beneath the black felt hat A carbine lay across his saddle horn, a lariat was coiled beside his leg, a cartridge belt circled his waist There was something familiar about the fellow, but at the moment Alalre could not determine what it was. •After one swift appraising glance, the newcomer rode straight to the verge of the water hole and dismount-1 ed; then he and his horse drank side by side. ; It was the moment for a complete and effective surprise, but " nothing happened. Why didn't Law act? Alalre ledly with reins hanging.

He was lying prone and drinking deeply when out of | ["nowhere came a sharp command. "Oiga! Hands up, both of you P The first arrival jumped as if a rattlesnake had buzzed at his back, the second leaped to bis feet with an oath. "Drop your gun, companerol" Both Mexicans cried, as If at a cue, "Who speaks?" "A Banger." The fellow Law had addressed 1st fall his rifle; two pairs of dark hands rose slowly. Then th» Banger want on In Spanish: "Anto, lower your left hand and onbuckle your belt,* Anto did as ha was told,' his revolver and cartridge bait dropped to tfa* ground.

Law stepped tote tiew4 sis Winches walltlng to Anto's horse, he removed the second carbine from beneath the saddle-dap and ejected its shells Into his palm. This done, he addressed the stranger. "Now,' friend', who are' you, arid why are you riding with this fellow?" : "My naijue is Panftlo Sanchez, peoor. Before God, I have done nothing." The speaker was tremendously excited. In the midst of his incoherent protestations Mrs. Austin appeared. N-*Be>lB t e l l ^ l y o u the truth, Mr. tfcw,* aha eftid^hlefly. "He la one Of my.jnen,Mv •..;;.. Both Mexicans looked blank. At sight of the speaker their mouths fell open,, and Panfllo ceased bis gesticulation. Mrs. Austin went on: "He is my horse-breaker's cousin. He couldn't have had any part Jn that murder in Jim Wells county, for he was at Las Palmas when I left" Panfllo recovered from his amazement removed his sombrero, and blessed his employer extravagantly; then he turned triumphantly upon his captor. "Behold 1" cried he. 'There you have the truth. I am an excellent, hard-working man and as honest as God." "Surely you don't want him," Alalre appealed to Law. MHe was probably helping his countryman to. escape—but they all do that, you know." "All right! If he's your man, that's enough," Dave told her. "Now then, boys, it will sddtTbe dark and we'll need some supper before we start. It won't hurt Anto's horse to rest a bit, either. You are under arrest" he added, addressing the latter. "I won't tie you unless—" "No, senor!" Anto understood perfectly, and was grateful. "Well, then, build a fire, and you, Panfllo, lend a hand. The senora will need a cup of tea, for we three have a long ride ahead of us." No time was lost Both Mexicans fell to with a will, and in a surprisingly short time water was boiling. When it came Law's turn to eat, Alalre, who was eager to be gone, directed her employee to fetch the ranger's horse. Panfllo acquiesced readily and buckled on hia cartridge belt and six-shooter. He was about to pick up bis rifle, too, but finding Law's eyes inquiringly fixed upon him, l>e turned with a shrug and disappeared down the arroyo. It was plain that be considered bis friendly relations well established and resented the ranger's suspicion. "How long has that fellow _been working for you?" Law jerked his head in the direction Panfllo had taken* "Not long. I—dont know much about him," Alalre confessed. Then, as If In answer to bis unspoken Question, "But Tm sure he's ail right" "Is he looking up range for your" "N—no 1 I left him at the ranch. I don't know how he came to be here, Unless*- It Is rather Strang©!" Dave shot a swift Interrogatory glance1 at Panfilo's travellns>«eiopanion, but Anto's face was stony, his black eyes were fixed upon the fir*. With an abrupt gesture L*w flung aside the contents of his cup and strode to Panflle's horse, which stood, dejertherself; he was needlessly melodramatic; she felt exciedlngry lft"ut easef as the pony's hoof-beats grew fainter. She was startled by hearing other hoofbeats now; their drumming came faint but unmtstakuble. Yes, there were two horses racing down the arroyo. Anto, the fugitive, ros< to his feet and stared into the dusk. 4,SU down!" Alalre ordered, sharply. He obeyed, muttering beneath his breath, but his head was turned at) If in an effort to follow the sounds of thts pursuit.

Without a" word he raised his right hand and cuffed the Mexican to his knees. Then he leaped upon him, as a dog might pounce upon a rabbit, rolled him to hla face, and twisted the fellow's arm into the small of his back. Anto cursed, he struggled, but he was like a child in the ranger's grasp. Law knelt upon him, and with a Jerk of his rlata secured the fellow's wrists; rising, he set the knot with another heave that dragged the prisoner to his knees. Next he booted Anto to his feet. "I've a notion to bend a gun over your head," Law growled. "Clever little game, wasn't It?" "Where—? Did you—kill hlmr the woman gasped. Alalre had never beheld such a demoniac expression as Law turned upon her. The man's face was contorted, his eyes were blazing insanely, his chest was heaving, and. for an Instant he eeefhed to Include her In his anger. Ignoring her inquiry, he went to his mnre and ran his shaking hands over her as if in search of an injury; his questioning palms covered every inch of gflsteoing aide from forelock to withers; from sneittlder to hoof, and under Cover of this task he regained to some degree his. sejf-controt. "T^tyfebw.-of yours—dldnf .laoh, right 'mm," h« said, finally.

No, sir; that hombre wasn't any good, was he?' Alalre wet her lips. "Then yop— shot him?" "I didn't say I shot Mm," he told her, gruffly. "I warned htm first, and he turned on me—blew smoke In my face. Then he took to the brush, afoot, and— I cut down on him once more to help him along/' "He got away?" "I reckon so." "Oh, ohl" Alaire's tone left no doubt of her relief. "He was always a good man—** "Good? Didn't he steal my horse 1 Didn't he aftn to get me at the first chance and free his eompadre?

It *EM ea uncomfortable situation hi which Alalre now found herself, l a w I that the man who was working on the farm,: helping to produce the grain that goes to feed those who are at war, would not be affected. The excellent yields of the Western ada crops, and the high prices seed is having its influence on those ing for homes. The authenticated orts that have been sent out from e to time that this farmer and that mer had paid for their entire farm holdings out of one crop has reached the ears of the man looking for a farm. When he hears that G. H. Beatty of Nanton, Alberta, had 679 bushels of wheat from 12 acres or an average of 66½ bushels to the acre, he becomes interested. When:he learns that Sidney E. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta, threshed ten hundred and flfty-three bushels of wheat, the average being 62½ bushels per acre, his interest is further aroused. Thos. Long of Lethbridge had 120 bushels of oats to the acre from a field of 25 acres, W. Quinn of Milk River had 6.004 bushels of wheat from 100 acres, an average of 60 bushels per acre, and Robert Tackaberry of Nobleford makes affidavit that he had an average of seventysix bushels of wheat per acre from a field of 10.63 acres. Thos. Boulton of the same place makes affidavit that from! fifty acres he had a yield of fifty-three bushels of wheat per acre. Newell J. Noble's affidavit of getting 54 bushels per acre from 1,000 acres stands out most.strongly as evidence of what the wheat grower can do. This "affidavit is" Strengthened by, a paragraph stating* that be had 122 bushels and 30 lbs. per acre from &&69 acres, Mrs. Nancy Coo makes affidavit trmt on her farm at Nobleford she threshed six thouaahd one hundred and ten bushels- of- *Wneat from, one hundred and fifteen aj(ga)»£^ and eight Klijki'' pisrr«ere^:and from;« flax field (stubble field) she got 20 bushels and 88 pounds per acre. It cannot be said that >fhese were, freak yields because so naahy had such great success. When these reports are read, the man looking for a farm becomes convinced. These are only a few of the reasons that will cause a large influx of American farmers Into the Canadian West during the coming. Spring. The farmers now resident in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are purchasing additional lands. Price* are low and Free homestead land can be had in many districts and the homesteader is welcome.—Advertisement. Restaurant.

I have built a $125 chicken house and put up nearly $50 worth of poultry fencing; have built root cellars to hold over 3,000 bushels of potatoes and other vegetables. As to income, I raise about ten acres of garden and roots annually which net from $000 to $1,000 total. I generally sell from 20 to 40 tons timothy hay which brings from $6 to $14 per ton.

By a resolution calling for an inquiry into the cost of the production of sugar beets, the prices paid. for th«m and the percentage t>f "-profits mad* by growers and by manufacturers, Rep. Sheridan Ford, of Detroit, stirred up a lot of excitement in the legislature last week. Ford acted in behalf of members of the growers' association and the grange. Within a few hours the manufacturers yielded to the growers on every point at issue. Sensational charges by Ford that the "sugar barons" of the state had stirred up a formidable lobby which was doing its utmost to delay action on his resolution so as to be able to stifle it later, added to the interest aroused. Ford's oratory and the solid backing of farmer legislators swept away all opposition In the house and the resolution was adopted under suspension of the rules. The Detroiter declared that beet sugar growers were not getting a square deal on prices, which, in Michigan, were below even the European standard, he charged. "The hour has passed for men to sit back and make fortunes with pen or pencil and a piece of paper," he said. "The producers' Interests must be considered." Shortly after the house adopted the resolution a conference was called in Governor Sleeper's office. The governor urged that in view of the international situation production of all kinds should be encouraged, not hampered. The manufacturers then agreed to pay the prices which John C. Ketcham, acting for the growers, suggested. These are $6 a ton for beets used to make 6c sugar; $7 for 6 cent beets, and $8 for 7 cent beets. Contracts already made will be lifted to those prices, which are an increase of $1 a ton. An English scientist has succeeded in obtaining seven gallons of file! ol? from a tone of seaweed.

Adr. According to the city child's idea, la something yon hare to keep Bad Egg Bill a Boomerang. One of the odd incidents that crop out occasionally in the course of a legislative session occurred the other day in the senate. Senator Penney, of Saginaw, had introduced a bill to prohibit the sale of eggs that are unfit for food. The senate passed the bill in committee of the whole and also on third reading. It was about to go to the house when Senator Scully asked for a reconsideration. Scully had discovered that according to the rules of grammar a.strict reading of the bill and a careful following of the number of "nots" showed it provided that only rotten eggs could be offered for salo in Michigan, while fresh eggs were barred from market The -bill was hastily pulled back by the senators and will be re- •amped;to-- say whit it is Intended to mean, i j , |j Tne last time such a "bull" occurred in the legislature was in the 1911 session when a bill actually reached the governor: that ; provided that only thieves, thugs and villains could practice law in Michigan. ?TrrrW-Ory B i l l * Pass In House. The first stage ot the enactment of prohibition laws for Michigan was paaaed ia#t week when the house of representatives adopted the Wiley, McArthur and Lewis bills one after the oibttr, taking up allrthree In special order. The Wiley bill provide*;th# naachin-* ery for the enforcement of the dry laws and the ways in which liquors can be handled la ihe state for medicinal, mechanical, scientific, chemical and sacramental purposes, the five purpos*> a exempted in the constitutional amendment voted for by the people last November. Search and seizure are provided for by the Wiley bill, but private dwellings used only as such are exempted from search. Possession of liquors is not. touched upon in the Wiley measure. The McArthur, or bone dry bill, prohibits possession* of intoxicating liquors except for the five exempted purposes. It absolutely prohibits the possession of or obtaining of any liquors for beverage purposes. The Lewis bill changes the name of the dairy and food commission to food and drug commission, places the enforcement of the prohibition Laws in the food and drug commission's hands, extends the term of the commissioner from two to four years and increases his salary from $2,000 to $3,500 a year. The house adopted the Wiley bill by a vote-of 96 to 0. Rep. Sheridan Ford, of Detroit, explained his vote of "yes" by declaring that he is a liberal, but holds to the view that the best cure for sumptuary legislation is sumptuary legislation itself. The McArthur bill was adopted by a vote of 88 to 10, the negative, votes being cast by Reps. Edwards, Griggs, Harris, Houghton, Lamphere, Lemire, Nelson, Petermann, Read and Stevenson. All ten sighed a statement that they opposed the bill because they believed the Webb-Kenyon and Reed laws passed by congress made such a bill as the McArthur bill unnecessary. Rep. McArthur replied that the federal laws neither touch on possession of liquors In a dry state nor on their being brought in personally by those who want them, only for bidding shipments in inter, state traffic. The Lewis bill passed the house by a vote of 87 to 12, the negative votes being cast by Reps. Bosch, Daprato, Sheridan Ford, Fox, FTost, Houghton, Jones, Lemire, Nelson, M. H. Smith, S. J. Smith, and Upham. Sheridan Ford stated that he believed the present police power of the state adequate to handle the enforcement of the prohibition laws. Rep. Young said he had voted for all three bills, but believed them to be too long and apt to start too much litigation in conse/ quence. w^^wwwvwuvwVwWvwv^ Michigan News Tersely Told Hard Battle Over Prison Bill. There was a hard battle in the house before that body adopted bills to appropriate money for additional farm lands at Jackson prison and for the extension of the county Jail farm idea. For county prisoners the farm bill was amended to include workshops and factories" so that farmers will not be the only ones to have prison competition" as Rep, Root put it. 8en«te Adopts New Insurance Code. The senate has adopted, with a few amendments, the Scully-Person bill, as the new insurance code is entitled. The code is a revision of all the present laws of the state covering insurance of all kinds. Two principal amendments were made by the senate. Both were offered by Senator Tripp, of Allegan, and Tx>th concerned fire insurance rates. One amendment gives the state insurance commissioner control over fire ratss. The other would compel a fire Insurance company to pay the full loss under a policy where the loss was complete, without a complete inventory being furnished.

M. BENNINGTON. Mark for attention next season, or this fall, such plants as seem to be a trifle "off" in health. Old clumps of perennials—phlox, anthemlg, aquilegla, dicentra and many others^—may need division of their roots and the rejection of all that do not s^em perfectly strong and healthy. This work can be done in April or May as well as October. If the flower heads of perennial phlox are cut away as soon as they have developed all their blossoms, the email branches \u2tich frequently form a little below the old cluster will often produce very pretty little panicles of bloom. Of course they will lack the size of the earlier clusters, but they will be otherwise quite as fine as far as they go. If the old flower heads are not cut off these embryo branches seldom develop. In a dry season a garden always needs extra care. Leaves will turn yellow and fall and the flowers will soon wither and present un unsightly appearance as they cling to the slats. Go over the grounds at least every other day and take whatever has fallen and remove faded blossoms. Keep the dahlias well tied up. Thin out the plants that are inclined to produce so many branches that the air cannot circulate freely through them. If the season is dry, it will be necessary to apply at least a pailful of water dally to each plant. Keep the ground well hoed and mulch it with grass clippings from the lawn. Apply water after sunset and see that It gets close to the base of the plants. For this purpose use a watering pot with a long spout Get some of those unique Texas rain lilies which bloom two or three days after a rain. Plant them not later than the middle of June In a rich, light soil, four Inches deep, and where they will get plenty of sun, and they Will bloom until August Well-decayed manure Is a much better fertilizer than commercial fertilizer, because it supplies humus, thus improving the capacity of the soil for holding moisture and admitting the air to the roots. If you want a subtropical effect, plant a round bed with a few castoroil plants in the middle, with taHgrowing canna8 circling them, using elephants' ears for the border. If you want a wholesome and refreshing perfume in the house, sow mignonette every two weeks until the middle of July; cut great sheaves of it every day for the living cfuarters. If yon would prolong the season of blooming and enhance the beauty of the flowers, keep all seedpods snipped off. Just as soon as the shrubs have produced their annual crop of blooms thay should ee pruned, thinned, cultivated, fertilised and mulched. This also applies to perennials. Don't expose palms, e t c to the fan sunshine—those that have been growing all winter and spring in the house. Plunge their pets into the earth to the rim and construct a lath or slat house over them that will allow the sunshine to shift on them. This is done by nailing the slats two lnehes apart One part of nittate of soda t o tonr parts bonemeal forms a tetfUasr for a sandy sou. Apply one ounce to a square yard of surface. Large and brilliant flowers will follow the application of this fertiliser. Doa*t try to grow heliotrope 1» hasty, a m sen, b«t grtw It rich, tsar* ous earth, composed or leaf mold, thoroughly rotted manure, and sand to make It friable. Give it good drainage and plenty of water and plant It in the sunshine. The best time for planting perennial seed Is just as soon as it matures—in other words, follow Nature, who casts her seed upon the ground, and they at once grow. The tender seedlings should have some sort of natural or artificial shade, careful watering and weeding, and by fall they will be sturdy plants. Fven the hardiest varieties must have some protection the first winter. House plants that have done duty in the window garden, and those Intended for duty there next winter, must be given as near a complete rest as possible. Invite them to be lazy by giving them poor soil and only enough water to keep them healthy. Cut back severely and pinch off every bud as it appears. During the summer time is your opportunity to trim and train your window plants to good form. SEASONABLE NOTES For worms in the flower pots, take one teaspoonful of ground white pepper to a quart of boiling water; or, two teaspoonfuls of strong ground mustard to a quart of boiling water. Let cool a little and saturate the soil. In the hands of an experienced person liquid manure is of great value, but in the hands of a novice, disaster to the plant may result from using it too strong, or when the plant is at r e s t Begonias must have heat, a moist atmosphere and shade. The dust and dryness of the average air in the sitting room is very unfavorable to them. To keep the air moist have a water tight tray of zinc, of any desired size, and keep it full of water, with a little charcoal In it to keep It sweet. Set a brick in the water and rest the pots on the brick. PHLOX FOR THE GREENHOUSE Perennial phlox makes splendid pot plants for the greenhouse when treated after the1 manner of chrysanthemums. Make cuttings as soon as the shoots are about two Inches long. Root them in small pots, moving them along Into six-Inch pots and when these are filled with roots feed with liquid manure. For potting soil use good loam two parts and well-rotted manure one part. Grow the plants outside with the pots plunged to the rim In earth. Only put them in the.greenhouse to finish. Water liberally throughout the summer. HELIOTROPE The heliotrope is Impatient of a small p o t and should be shifted to a larger size as soon as its fine roots cover the outside of the ball of earth. So dense are its roots that it is often necessary to run a fine skewer about the base of the plant several times to allow the water to penetrate to the heart of the roots. See that these boles are kept open. SUPPORT FOR SWEET PEAS Support sweet-pes vines on a temporary fence made of poultry netting.

BOOZEfl MUST GO. Employers'-liubility laws in the difeferent states have been an important factor in bringing about the present attiude of the business world toward liquor. Corporation managers, investigating the causes of accidents in mill and factory, un railroad and waterway, found a large proportion directly due to the drink habit. Hence the reason for the famous "rule G" of the American Railroad association and the total abstinence requirements of big business generally. In line with this comes the Michigan Workmen's Compensation Mutual of Detroit, which, we learn from the Westera Underwriter, an insurance journal, has sent its members a circular letter on the booze question. We quote: "The careful consideration of all moral hazards involved under the compensation law reveals the fact that booze is the biggest. "Booze is so insidious in its workings that even though an employee may not be actually under the influence of liquor at the time of an injury, a very large percentage of all injuries are either directly or indirectly due to the drinking of liquor. "Therefore, we are earnestly recommending to all of our members that the service of the booze fighter, whether he drink much or little, be dispensed with as promptly as possible, providing he cannot be made to see the error of his ways and become an abstainer." LIQUOR BUSINESS AND LABOR. "The average worklngman fears being out of a Job more than he does going to hell, and the liquor interests have capitalized on this fear," said Rev. Charles Stelzle before the Federal Council of Churches. And he pointed out t h a t : "If the money now invested in the liquor business were invested in the average American industry It would give employment to four times as many worklngmen, who collectively would receive four times as much In the form of wages, and four times as much raw material would be required than is now the case in the liquor business." Mr. Stelzle said that the number of worklngmen employed In the liquor business has been greatly exaggerated. The liquor interests purchase annually only about an average of $10 worth of produce from each farmer in the United States. FAIRNE88 TO TAXPAYER8. A Muncie (Ind.) Judge~the other day made the novel ruling that a man not only has a right to lie down in the saloon where he becomes intoxicated but that it Is his duty to do so Instead of going to some other place. The victim In the case had explained to the Judge that after drinking at the bar he felt the drunken stupor coming on and so hurried to the Jail, only a block away, and gave himself up, because he did not suppose the saloonkeeper would permit him to sleep off his Intoxication on his premises. "So you thought you'd go to the Jail and let the taxpayers take care of yen?" queried the court. "The next time you get drunk I want you to lie down right there In the saloon and not become a public expense." INCREA8E8 VALUES. From report of state auditor of North Carolina, Value of real estate: 1908 $287,459,602.00 1914 360,079,952.00 Value of personal property: 1908 $174,928,792.00 1914 213,324,039.00 Taxes collected: 1908 $ 2,616,439.62 3914 4,683,875.18 "North Carolina," says Governor Craig, "has never known in all her history a period of greater prosperity than that through which she has passed since prohibition was adopted. Real estate in all the cities and larger towns has greatly enhanced in value and every line of business has prospered." SCIENTIST PEARS ALCOHOL.

The first edition of the printed Bible was sold at 60 crowns per volume to various universities and people of wealth by Dr. John. Faust in Paris.

When the people, amazed at tne rapidity with which the ,books were produced, searched his of. 'flee and found a great quantity of red ink which. Faust was using liberally tbey concluded that the devtt was helping the publisher; hence the cry was raised, "The devil and Dr. Faust!"- Chicago Journal. Tha Code of Honor.

Alalre, as she leisurely dressed herself, acknowledged that It was good to feel the physical comforts of her own house, even though her homecoming gave her no especial Joy. She made it a religious practice to dress for dinner, regardless of Ed's presence, though often for weeks at a time she sat in solitary state, p r i d i n g over ft° empty table. Tonight, Ed was at home. It was with a grave preoccupation that she mjade^herseif ready to. meet him. < In the "dining *^i$N fcjr" acknowledged hi* wif e V entrahds S m h a care-J less nod, but did not trouble to r e - | move his hands from his pockets.

"It was my 'pa^oieat for living'with you, and you know it. ton gave me the reins to Lus Palmas so that Td have something to do, something to live for and think about, except—your actions. The ranch has doubled in value, every penny is accounted for, and you huve more money to spend on yourself than ever before. You have no reason to complain." Austin crushed his napkin into a bail and flung it from him; with a scowi he Bhrv>*id himself back from the table. "It was an idiotic arrangement, Just the same. 1 agreed because 1 was sick. Dad thought I was all shot to pieces. But Tin all right now and able to run my own business." < "Nevertheless, It was a bargain, and it will stand, tt your father were alive he'd make you live up to it." "You talk as tf I were a child." shouted her husband; und his plump face wua apoplectic with rage. "The title ts in my name. How could he make me do anything?" "Nobody could force you," his wife said, quietly. "You are still enough of a man to keep your word, I believe, so rest, and of these the finest and the noblest had been "Young-£d" Austin. When she came hoflje M<t marry* Alalre waa still very much of. a child, and she still considered Ed her knight As for him, he was captivated by tills splendid, handsome girl, whom he remembered only as a shy, red-headed little comrade. As Las Palmas had been the elder Austin's wedding gift to his Bon, BO Alaire's dowry from her father had been La F^rla, a grant of lands across the Rio Grande beyond the twentyleague belt by which Mexico fatuously strives to guard her border. And to Las Palmas had come the bride and groom to live, to love and to rear their children. ,v : * But rarely has there *een a shorter Honeymoon, seldom a swifter awakening. Within- six months "Young Ed" had killed his wife's love and had hlm- . self become an alcoholic Other vices \ ao multiplied that what few virtues the young man had Inherited were soon choked.

CHAPTER IV. A» Laa Palmas. Although the lower counties of southwest l^exas are flat and badly Watered, they possess a rich soil. They are favored, too, by a kindly climate, eubtropic in its mildness. The Rio Grande, jaundiced, erratic as an invalid, wrings its saffron blood from the clay bluffs and gravel canyons of the hill country, but near its estuary winds quietly through a low coastal plain which the very impurities of that blood have rtchened. Here the river's banks are smothered in thickets of buisache, ebony, mesquite, oak and alamo. Railroads are so scarce along this division of the border that to travel trora Brownsville north along the international line one must, for several hundred miles, avail oneself of-horses, mules or motorcars, since rail transportation is almost lacking. And on his way the traveler will traverse whole counties where the houses are jacals, where English is a foreign tongue, and where peons plow their fields with crooked stick* as did the ancient Egyptians. That part <f the state which lies below the Nue-es river was for a time disputed territory, and long after Texans had given their lives to drive the eagle of Mexico across the Rio Grande much of it regained a forbidden land. Even today it ts alien. It Is a part of ocr Southland, but a South different to any other that we have. Within It there are no blacks, and yet the whites Oumber but one In twenty. The rest *re swarthy, black-haired men who speak the Spanish tongue and whose citizenship la aostly a matter of form. The stockmen, pushing ahead of the oesters and thi) tillers of the soil, were the first to invade the lower Rio Grande, and among these "Old Ed" Austin was a pioneer, l i k e the other Cattle barons, he was hungry for land and took It where or how he could. (Chose were crude old days; the pioneers who pushed their herds into the far pastures were lawless fellows, ruthless, acquisitive, mastered by the empire- builder's urge for acres and still more acres. As other ranches grew under the bands of such unregenerate owners, so also under "Old Ed" Austin's management did Las Palmas increase and prosper. It comprised an expanse of rich river-land hacked by miles of range where "Box A" cattle lived and bred. In his later years when the old man handed Las Palmas to his son, "Young Ed," as a wedding gift, the ranch was known far and wide for its eiae and richness. Laa Palmas had Changed greatly since Austin, senior, painfully scrawled his slanting signature to the deed. It was a different ich now to what the old man had >wn; indeed, tt was doubtful if he Id hare recognised it, for even the was new. • l a i n had some such thought In as she rode tip to the gate on afternoon following her departure tike water hole, and she felt a , of pride at the acres of sprouting feorn, the dense green field of alfalfa • 6 nicely fitted between their fence*.

Ed, slightly mollified, agreed. "Of course I am; I never welched. But I won't be treated as an incompetent, and I'm tired of these eternal wrangles and Jangles." "You have welched." "Eh?" Austin frowned belligerently. "You agreed to go away-when you felt your appetite coming on, and you promised to live clean, at least around home." "Well?" Alalre went on In a lifeless tone that he seated himself heavily at the t abl e icovered the seething emotions within h e r t,j n e v e r l n q u l r e l n t 0 your actions and with unsteady fingers shook the folds from his napkin, he said: "You stayed longer than you Intended, Um-m—you were gone three days, weren't you?" "Fonr days," Alalre told him, realizing with a little inward start how very far apart she and Ed had drifted. She looked at him curiously for an Instant, wondering If he really could be her husband, or—If he were not some peculiarly disagreeable stranger. Ed had been a handsome boy, but he was growing fat from drink and soft from Idleness; his face was too full, his eyes too sluggish; there was an unhealthy redness in his cheeks. In contrast to his wife's semi-formal dress, he was unkempt—unshaven and soiled. His preparations for dinner this evening had been characteristically simple; he had drunk three dry cocktails and flung his sombrero into a corner. "I've been busy while you were gone," he announced. "Been down to the pump house every day laying that new intake. It was a nasty Job, too. I had Morales barbecue a cabrito for my lunch, and it was good, bat Fm hungry again." Austin attacked his meal with an enthusiasm strange In him. He was a heavy and a constant drinker at all times. What little exercise he took was upon the back of a horse, and, as no one knew better than his wife, the physical powers he once had were rapidly deteriorating. By and by he inquired, vaguely: "Let's see. . . . Where did you go this time?" "I went up to look over the Ygnacio tract" "Oh, yes. Think you'll lease I t r "I don't know, I must find some place for those La Feria cattle." Austin shook his head. "Better leave 'em where they are, until the rebels take that c suntry. I stand mighty well with them." "That's the trouble," Alalre told him. "You stand too well—so well that I want to get my Btock out of federal territory as soon as possible." Ed shrugged carelessly. "Suit yourself ; they're your cows." The meal went on with a desultory flow of small talk, during which the husband indulged his thirst freely. Alalre told him about the accident to her horse and the unpleasant ordeal she had suffered In the mesquite, ' *Xucky you found somebody at the water hole," Ed commented. "Who was this ranger? Never heard of the fellow," he commented on the name, "The rangers are nothing like they t3ed to he." "This fellow would do credit to any organization." As Alalre described how expeditiously Law had made his arrest and handled his man, her husband showed interest "Nicolas Anto, e a r said be. "Who was his companerof "Panfilo Sanchas." Ed started.

I won't be humiliated more than 7 am; public pity is— hard enough to bear. Fve about reached the breaking point" "Indeed?" Austin leaned forward, his eyes inflamed. His tone was raised, heedless of possible eavesdroppers. "Then why don't you end it? Why don't you divorce me? 1 never see anything of you. You have your part of the house and I have mine; all we share in common is meal hours, and— and a mail address." Alalre turned^upon him eyes dark with misery. "You know why I don't divorce you. No, Ed, we're going to live out our agreement, and these Brownsville episodes are going to cease." Her lips whitened. "So are your visits to the pumping station." "What do you mean by that?" "You transferred Panfilo because he was growing Jealous of you and Rosa." Ed burst into sudden laughter. "There's no harm in a little flirtation. Rosa's a pretty girl;" His wife uttered a breathless, smothered exclamation; her hands, as they lay on the table cloth, were tightly clenched. "She's your tenant—almost your servant What kind of a man are you? Haven't you any decency left?" "Say I Go easy I I guess Tm no different to most men." Austin's unpleasant laughter had been succeeded by a still more unpleasant scowL "I have to do something. It's dead enough around here—" "You must stop going there." ••Humph 1 I notice you go where you please. Rosa and I never spent a night together In the chaparral—" "Ed I" Alaire's exclamation was like the snap of a whip. She rose ahd faced her husband, quivering as if the lash had stung her flesh. •That went home, eh? Well, Tm no fool! Tve seen something of the world, and Tve found that women are about like men. Td like to have a look at this David Law, this gunman, this Handsome Harry who waits at water holes for ladies In distress." Ed ignored his wife's outflung hand, and continued, mockingly: 'Til bet he's rJl that's manly and splendid, everything that rm not" "You'd—better stop," gasped the woman. "I can't stand everything.* "So? Well, neither can L" "After—this, I think you'd better go—to San Antonio. Maybe 1*11 forget before you come back," To this "Young Ed" agreed quickly enough. "Good P said he. "That suits me. n i at least get a little peace at my club." He glowered after his wife as she left the room.

They were not unduly fastidious, these neighbors, and they knew that hot blood requires more than a generation to cool, but everything Ed did outraged them. In trying to show their sympathy for his wife they succeeded In wounding her more deeply, and Alalre withdrew Into herself. She had changed. The alteration reached to'the very bone and marrow of her being. At first the general pity had wounded her, then it had offended, and finally angered her. That people should notice her affliction, particularly when she strove so desperately to hide tt, seemed the height of insolence. The management of Las Palmas was almost her only relief. Having sprung from a family of ranchers, the work came easy, and she grew to like it—as well as she could like anything with that ever-present pain in her breast Las Palmas had prospered to admiration, and La Feria would have prospered equally had It not been for the armed unrest of the country across the border. No finer stock than the "Box A" was to be found anywhere. But Alalre had not confined her efforts to cattle; she had Improved the breed of "Box A" horses, too, and hand In hand with this work she had carried on a series of agricultural experiments. For instance, she bad started a grove of paper-shelled pecans, which was soon due to bear; the rahchhouse and its clump of palms was all but hidden by a forest of strange trees, which were reported to ripen everything from mothballs to bicycle tires. Blaze Jones was perhaps responsible for this report, for Alalre had shown him several thousand eucalyptus saplings and Borne ornamental rubber plants. •That Mil Austin is a money-matin' piece of furniture," be 'once told hlfl daughter Paloma.

S Read Before the Chapter Friday, April 6th in the presence of these Bisters and brothers we wish to give tribute to our love and appreciation of our dear sister, Georgia VanWinkle. Though from our preaence ahe has rone yet she is cherished in our memory and will not ^e forgotten as the nilent wheels of time move swiftly through the coming years. The remembrance of her unsefish, faithful and loyal service will bring to us a greater love, a deeper sence of our vwn responsibility to our order, symbolized by the Star of Bethlehem. We realize that we.should not be altogether sorrowful although we will ook in vain for t'ie pleasant smile and :he genial clasp of the hand of our beloved sister. Faith breathes the prayer that in the ireat Beyond, that spirit world of sunshine and life eternal, that she rests in peace, happy in the knowledge that her life was of much avail; and that ner life so woven in and out with ours has added luster to the fraternity she oved and served so well, of which she became a Charter member in 1895. -In her passing, our loss is keenly felt not only by this order; by whom she was greatly loved, butbv a large circle af devoted friends. Georgia Reeves, daughter of George and Martha Allison Reeves was born in Pinckney, May 2, 1865 and passed to oer Heavenly Home March 18, 1917. She was united in marriage to Carey V. Van Winkle Nov. 22, 1890. Shortly *fter her birth, her father moved his r'amily to the farm now known as the KB the Van Winkle farm where she lived the greater share of her life,, moving to their present home in 1902.

The good-uutured man Is not only a blessing to himself, but to all with whom he comes in contact. He makes lile seem possible when the surroundings are thick with gloom and disappointments. He causes sunshine and cheer to enter into the dreary drudgery of everyday trials and difficulties. Ii he is the head of the firm he gets more from his men with a smile than he would with a grouch. He knows that keeping good-natured keeps him on ths high pedestal. Considered In^Hcnt Bad Omen. "Yesterday," le-M.rked the Old fccout, "I had iunc.V,on with my fresh young nephew. At the close of the meal he ordered a package of what I, being an old-fashioned man, call 'coffin nails,' and just as he did so a bellboy went through the dining room paging, •Mister Spikes, Mister Spikes!'

S, SEIZE INTERNED GERMAN VESSELS Adopts Joint Resolution That Places This Country In t^e Ranks of the Belligerents—Six Senators Vote Against Measure After Hot Debate—Great Majority in the House Favors the Action. Text of the joint resolution adopted by congress, declaring a state of war between the United States and Germany: "Whereas, The Imperial German government has committed repeated acts of war against the government and the people of the United States of America; therefore, be It "Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, That the state i/f vi-ar between the United States and the imperial German government which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared; and that the president be, and he is hereby, authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the government to carry on war against the imperial German government; and to bring the conflict to a successful termination, all of the resources of the country are hereby pledged by the congress of the United States." Washington, April 6.—The United States is now formally enlisted among the belligerents in the great war, for congress has adopted the resolution declaring a state of war between this country and Germany, brought on by the imperial government's repeated hostile acts. The senate was the first to act on the war resolution and adopted it by a vote of 82 to 6. The six senators who voted against the resolution for war were : ASLE J. GRONNA, Republican, North Dakota. HARRY LANE, Democrat, Oregon. R. M. LA FOLLETTE, Republican, Wiscontln. O. W. N0RRI8, Republican, Nebraska. W I L L I A M J. 8 T 0 N E , Democrat, Missouri. J. K. VARDAMAN, Democrat, Mississippi. There were eight senators absent or paired. They were; Bankhead, Goff, Gore, Hollls, Newlands, Smith of Maryland, Thomas, and Tillman. Of those absent it was announced that all except Senator Gore of Oklahoma against the resolution were members would have voted for the resolution If present. All six of the senators who voted against the resolution were members of the group of twelve which defeated the armed neutrality bill at the last session. There was nd attempt to filibuster this time, however. Thirteen Hour Debate. Thirteen hours of heated debate preceded the vote. Party lines disappeared in this discussion and Republicans Joined with Democrats Ifr sounding the call to the nation to support the president unitedly. The little group opposed to the resolution drew Are from every side. .Senator La Follette, defending Germany and heaping blame upon England, was Informed by Senator Williams that Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the German chancellor, would have made the same speech in the relchstag had he been Imbued with sufficient effrontery. Senator Norria, charging that the United States is going to war at the behest of the munition barons of Wail street drew from Senator Reed the retort that such an accusation is "almost treason." The assertion that the nation was going to war on the demand of gold, he said, was "an indictment of the president, of the United States, an indictment of c7ngresa>^pf the American peapie, and, of the truth." "The president Is not calling America to arms for the sake of a few paltry dollars," Senator Reed continued, %"but for the life, honor, and Integrity of this *»untry." Introduced by Hitchcock. Tn Introducing the resolution into the senate, Senator Hitchcock made a brief statement In which he said that the present time was one "for action, not discnaslon.M T h e time for discussion has pasted,M he said. "The president has stated dearly, affectively, more conclusively the reasons which make this grave step ne^asaavy* The raaotstfon the Imperial It places apaasrtilHty far tka war seaarely the shoulders of the German government, charged with repeated acts of war against the United States. "We want no more territory. We will detnand no indemnity. We have no grudge to settle, nor racial antipathy. Wre will spend our treasure and our blood and sacrifice oar lives without the thought of gain. We are going to war to vindicate our honor and independence fls a great natlou and in defense of humanity. "Such quarrel as we have with Germany is not of our choosing. It was forced upon us and we did much to avokl It. For nearly three years the i president, congress, and the American people have hoped to avoid it. But one desperate act by the imperial German government has followed another." German Pledges Broken. Senator Hitchcock wat followed by Senator Swanson of Virginia, who said the German government "has repeatedly and grossly violated Its treaty obligations to us, and wantonly broken solemn assurances." "The issue is not peace or war," Senator Swanson continued. "War has already been declared upon us. The issue is whether we shall accept war or abject and cowardly submission." Reciting the sinking of American ships, German plots, and outrages In this country, Senator Swanson said the Zlmmercnann plot to incite Mexico against this country "reaches the lowest depths of national turpitude." Many other senators took part in the debate, Gronna, Stone, Vardaman, Norris and LaFollette, all opposing the resolution. Senator Smoot made the last speech —a short prayer that God would "hasten the day when liberty will be enjoyed by all the peoples of the earth." The roll call was taken while the senators and spectators sat solemn. A few cheers greeted the result and then all filed quietly out of the chamber. House Vote, 373 to 50. The house, after a debate lasting about seventeen hours, adopted the joint resolution by a vote of 373 to 60. Nearly a hundred representatives made speeches. In offering the senate resolution as a substitute for Its own, the house foreign affairs committee submitted a long report reviewing the history of submarine warfare and America's futile" protests against It, German intrigues and bomb plots In this country, the effort to ally Japan and Mexico against the United States and the mistreatment of American officials and citizens in Germany. "It Is with the deepest sense of responsibility for the momentous results which will follow the passage of this resolution," said the report, "that your committee reports it to the house, with the recommendation that It be passed. "The conduct of the Imperial German government toward this government, Its citizens and Its interests, has been so discourteous, unjust, cruel, barbarous, and so lacking in honesty and practice that it has constituted a violation of the course of conduct which should obtain between friendly nations. "In addition to this the German government Is actually making war upon the people and commerce of this country, and leaves no course open to this government but to accept its gnge of battle and declare that a state of war exists." Flood Opens the Debate. Under the unanimous consent rule by which the resolution was considered Representative Flood could move the previous question at any time after one hour and, if sustained, bring the measure to a vote. He was disposed, however, to give members every opportunity to speak throughout the day. The debate began without any limitation. * "War la being made upon our country and its people,'* Representative Flood said in opening. "Our ships are being sunk. Our noncombatant dtisens, including men, women and children, are being murdered, our merchantmen are denied the freedom of the seas. There is no choice as to our course. We are compelled by the acts of the German government to enter In? to this most colossal war. "We should take our stand "By the side of the allied nations who have been fighting humanity's battles for two and one-half years, determined that our power shall be so employed that complete victory shall crown their eaVcts and that Prnaataa mffltarlani shall be crashed and the world steal a* delivered front the threat and of the Authorities Take Over Ships That Have Long Been Held in American Ports. TOTAL VALUE IS ENORMOUS Some of the Finest Ships Afloat Are Among Those Taken—Ellis Island Receives Officers and Crews of Those in New York Waters. New York, April 6.—Germany's $51,- 800,000 mercantile fleet, which had been interned here since the outbreak of the war, was seized by the United States only a few hours after congress passed the resolution declaring a state of war. There were 27 passenger liners, freighters and sailing ships In the fleet, among them the Vaterlund, one of the largest aud finest passenger liners in the world. The German officers and crews, numbering more than 3,000 men, were taken to Ellis island for internment. It was learned that the machinery on some of the ships was~ smashed. United States naval men will make a thorough examination of the vessels to determine the exact extent of the damage. The ships seized in this port aggregated 304,000 tons. Eleven of them displaced more than 10,000 tons. The mighty Vaterland is a leviathan of 51,2S4 tons and cost $7,500,000. The Geiman officers and sailors on the ships made no resistance when the United States officials went on board. Nor did they murmur when told to prepare to go to the immigration station at Ellis Island. A whole fleet of customs boats swarmed in the Hudson collecting the Germans.

Remember the "dose" mother insisted on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different Mothers who ellng to the old form of physic simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt is well-founded. Their tender little "insides" are injured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only delicious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action Is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take it; that it never fails to clean the liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Adv. The National Tiger. During the French revolution, in 1789, the proprietor of a menagerie in Paris bad among his collection a Bengal tiger, one of the largest species, usually known as the royal tiger. As royalty and everything pertaining thereto was abolished, he was afraid he might be accused of a want of patriotism, and, therefore, had the following inscription posted outside his establishment: "Walk In and See the National Tiger."

The specialist looked Into the juvenile thront. "Tonsils poorly taken out," he declared crisply. "Have to be done over again." Then followed a brief explanation of the reason why the offending tonsils should he attended to again. "Who did this work?" asked the doctor, his face assuming a keenly professional air as though he must know who had been thus derelict in his profession. "You did." said the mother with a smile. And the doctor smiled too,— Indianapolis News. WOMEN! IT IS MAGIC! LIFT OUT ANY CORN Apply a few drops then lift corns or calluses off with fingers—no pain. Just think 1 You can lift off any corn or callus without pain or soreness. A Cincinnati man discovered this ether compound and named it freezone. Any druggist will sell a tiny bottle of freezone, like hero shown, for very little cost Ton apply a few drops directly upon t tender com or callus. Instantly ths soreness disappears, then shortly you will find the corn or callus so loose that yon can lift It right off. Freezone is wonderful. It [dries instantly.

RECORD NUMBER OF LICENCES ISSUED RECEJPT8 FOR FJR8T T H R E E MONTHS OF YEAR LARGEST IN HISTORY OF STATE. AMOUNT TO $1*194,081.29 Of the Total Over »500,000 Goes to Counties Where Fee* Originated— Balance to Highway Dept. (Prom Our Special Correspondent) • Lansing. During the first three months of this year the state collected $1,194,081.29 in automobile license fees, the largest quarterly receipts in the history of the state. Of this total $17,019.85 was in special fees, while the balance waa regular. Adding the money collected for 1917 liecnses during the months of November and December, 1916, the total to April 1 for. the 1917 licenses amounts to $1,377,666.86. An apportionment between the counties of origin will be made of what has been collected so far this year by the auditor general and the state treasurer in a few days. Of the total, $588,430.53 will go to the counties and the balance to the state highway department. The counties get no share of the special fees, which accounts for the fact that their share is not the exact one-half of the amount collected. Special fees consist of licenses for chauffeurs, manufacturers and dealers' duplicate plates, lost or destroyed duplicate plates, and non-resident licenses. Up to the present there have been 135,000 1917 licenses Issued as compared with 160,000 for the whole of 1916. The total fees in 1916 were $1,- 739,343. In addition to ths regular licenses there have been Issued so far this year 7,500 chauffeurs' licenses, 3,300 for motorcycles, and 722 for manufacturers and dealers. Liquor Committee Gets Busy. The senate liquor committee finally has taken action on the bills to enforce prohibition in Michigan after May 1, 1918. Its program is to kill off the McArthur "bone dry" bill, replace it with the Damon "bone dry" bill and report out with the Damon bill the Wiley and Lewis bills. The two latter measures provided for the enforcement of- prohibition in Michigan, the Wiley bill by describing for whal purposes liqu <r may be used under the constitutional amendment and the Lewis bill by giving the food and drug department the enforcement of the laws pertaining to liquor after the state enters the dry column. Substitution of the Damon bill for the McArthur bill is ascribed to the fact that the senate measure is more brief than that which passed the house. But capitol gossip gives one of the reasons as a determination not to allow Rep. McArthur the entire limelight afforded by "bone dryness." Sleeper Urgee New War Board. Historic occasions are not neceauarily nolBy or exciting as far as outward appearances go. Not since the days of the Civil war has there been a legislative session in Michigan so fraught with serious possibilities a* that held when the legislators reassembled after the spring ejection. The nation had come to the brink of war; the president had called upon congress to declare war, since the legislators had last met Governor Sleeper sent in a message informing the lawmakers of the na-. tional peril and declaring that Michigan should step forth as in '61 and play a leader's part in the nation. Bills went in to both houses to allow the state to borrow $5,000,000 to equip its soldiers and sailors and offer them to the nation. Both,, houses suspended the rules and placed the bills in committee of the whole instead of with the military committees of each. Both houses then adopted resolutions informing the governor that they will back him up in every needed way, including a pledge to pass the $5,000,- 000 loan bills. • The bills, introduced In the senate by Senator Foster and in the house by Representative Peterman, provide for the formation of a war preparedness board to act with the governor. The board is to include Attorney General Groeebeck, Auditor General Fuller, Secretary of State Vaughan, State Treasurer Odell and Supt. of Public Instruction Keeler. The bills instruct the governor and state treasurer to borrow $5,000,000, giving notes or bonds of $100 each, redeemable in five to ten years, and paying 5 per cent interest, semi-annually. A special tax levy of $500,000 a year, to furnish a sinking fund, also is provided. The purposes for which the money is to be used are: For recruiting soldiers and sailors in Michigan; for the care of dependents left behind by enlisted men; for the maintenance of mobilization camps; for the equipment of officers and men; for a beneficiary fund for men killed or disabled; for the organization of a home defense unit; for a training school for officers; for auxiliary relief work and for other purposes which the governor considers necessary for public defense. The senate put through the Culver bill to bring the state guard to the standard required by the federal statutes and the house lifted another Culver bill from the bottom of the list and sent it on to third reading that provides for the equipment and maintenance of the naval militia. All of this was done in brief time and wihout a word of argument or an effort at oratory.

The house judiciary committee held a heated hearing on the municipal courts bill, which some Detroit speakers characterized as a "ripper" bill, and then decided to take its time about acting upon it. This bill had the backing of the attorney general, but got a setback when Judge Edward J. Jeffries, Just re-elected judge of the recorder's court in Detroit, declared to the committee that he had been given assurance of an appointment to the new court if he would give an interview favoring its creation by the legislature. Jeffries, in his talk to tbe committee, opposed the bill as a political measure designed to aid some Detroit politicians and not to improve the court system of Michigan. Knew What Dad Would Say. Jack, the three-year-old brother of the new and historic Hellefontaine Avenue twins, has taken up his dad'H burden in a remarkable manner, considering hi.s years. A neighbor lady calling on the twins the other night expressed her approval of them, and then turned to Jack and asked: "Jack, may I have your little sister Betty?" Jack consented readily. "And how about little brother Bob— may I have him, too?" Jack said sure. "Well, what would papa Bay when he came home and found them gone?" "Oh," said Jack, "he'd say, 'You're very we'eome.' " Appraising Father's Wealth. When the kid went to Sunday school the lesson was evidently about how il is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man tc enter the kingdom of heaven.

Why?" "Are you rich enough to go to Hades?" Quick Action on Wsr Bond Issue. Preliminary action on the issuance of $5,000,000 worth of bonds by the state to finance the raising of military support for the nation, was had last week without delay in either house. The bills were passed in committee of the whole both in the house and in the senate. They were amend* ed so as to make the bonds run for 20 years and pay 4 per cent interest, with $250,000 a year allowed for a sinking fund. Compensation Act Amended. The DeLand bill to amend the workmen's compensation act so that a man engaged in a seasonal occupation, where he works but part of the year, will be paid on the baals of his earnings at the time of an accident which incapacitates him, has paased both houses. The law fixes compensation on the basis of the average weekly wage and the DeLand amendment prorides that the weekly wage shall be found by multiplying the dally wage by 300 and then diridinig by 52. The bill now goes to ths governor. SICK MAfiETS" Gently cleanse your liver and sluggish bowels while you sleep. Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food In the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the InteBtlnes, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Caacaret to-night will surely straighten you out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet and your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

"No, I'm too old to go rampagin' after new gods. I ain't got the imagination to raise anything more complicated than a mortgage; but if I was younger, I'd organize myself up and do away with that Ed Austin. I'd sure help him to an untimely end, and then I'd marry them pecan groves, and blooded herds, and drug-store orchards. She certainly is a heart-breakln' device, with her red hair, and red lips an— "Father!" Paloma was deeply shocked. Complete isolation, of course, Alaire had found to be impossible, even though her ranch lay far from the traveled roads and her Mexican guards were not encouraging to visitors. Business inevitably brought her into contact with a considerable number of people, and of these the one she saw most frequently was Judge Ellsworth of Brownsville, her attorney. It was perhaps a week after Ed had left for San Antonio that Alaire felt the need of Ellsworth's counsel, and sent for him. Ellsworth was a kindly man of fifty-five, with a forceful chin and a drooping, heavy-lidded eye that could either blaze or twinkle. Judge Ellsworth knew more than any four men in that part of Texas; Information had a way of seeking him out. He was a good lawyer, too, and yet his knowledge of human nature he considered far more Important than law. His mind was like a full granary, and every grain lay where he could put his hand upon It. He motored out from Brownsville, and after ridding himself of dust, Insisted upon spending the interval before dinner In an Inspection of Alalre's latest ranch improvements. Not until dinner was over did he inquire, the reason for his summons. "It's about La Feria. General Longorio has confiscated my stock," Alaire told him. "I was afraid of this very thing, and so I was preparing to bring the stock over. Still—I never thought they'd actually confiscate It." "Hasn't Ed done enough to provoke confiscation?" asked the judge. "I have It pretty straight that-he's giving money to the rebel junta and lending every assistance he can to their cause." "I didn't know he'd actually done anything. How mad !" "Yes—for a man with interests in federal territory. But Ed always does the wrong thing, you know." "Then I presume this confiscation is In the nature of a reprisal. But the stock Is mine, not Ed's. I want your help In taking up the matter with 'Washington." , • Ellsworth was pessimistic. "It won't do any good, my dear," he said. ""You won't be paid for your cattle," •Then I shall go to La Feria." "No!" The Judge shook his head decidedly. "I've been there a hundred times. .The federals have been more than courteous." "Longorio has a bad reputation. I utroiigly advise against your going. .Tou'd better send some man." "Whom can I send?" asked Alaire. "Xou know my situation.* The judge considered a moment before replying. "I can't go, for Tm busy In court. Yon could probably accomplish more than anybody else. If Ixmgorio will listen to reason, an<t after alL you are a person of such Importance that I dare say you'd be safe. *But It will Be a hard trip, and you won't knaw whether you are In rebel or In federal territory." "Well, people here are asking whether Texas is In the United States or Mexico," Alaire said, lightly. "Sometimes I hardly know." After a moment She continued: "Since you know everything and everybody, T wonder If yon ever met a David Law?" Ellsworth nodded. "Tell me something about him." "He asked me the same thing about yon. Well, I haven't seen much of P a r e since b* grew up. he's such a roamer." • H e said his parents were murdered by the Goadatapea," "YOL It happened a good many years ago, and certainly they both met a ilotawt and.

"I have never known you to damn a friend or a clienr with such faint praise." said Alaire. "Oh, I don't mean it that way. I'm almost like one of Dave's kin, and I've been keenly interested in watching his traits develop. I'm Interested in heredity. I've watched it in Ed's case, for instance. If you know the parents it's easy to read their children." Again he lapsed into silence, nodding to himself. "Yes, nature mixes her prescriptions like any druggist. J'm glad you and Ed—have no babies." Alaire murmured something unintelligible. CHAPTER V. A Journey, and a Dark Man. Alalre's preparations for the journey to La Feria were made with little delay. Owing to the condition of affairs across the border, Ellsworth had thought it well to provide her with letters from the most influential Mexicans in the neighborhood; what is more, in order to pave her way toward a settlement of her claim he succeeded In getting a telegram through to Mexico City—Ellsworth's Influence was not bounded by the Rio Grande. Alaire took Dolores with her, and for male escort she selected, after some deliberation, Jose Sanchez, her horsebreaker. Benito could not well be spared. Sanchez had some force and Initiative, at least and Alaire had no reason to doubt his loyalty. The party went to Pueblo by motor. On the following day, Alaire secured her passports from the federal headquarters across the Rio Grande, while Jose attended to the railroad tickets. On the second morning after leaving home the party was borne southward Into Mexico, The revolution had ravaged moat of northern Mexico; long rows of rusting trucks and twisted car skeletons beside the track showed how the railway's rolling stock had suffered In this particular vicinity; and as the train penetrated farther south temporary trestles and the charred ruins of station houses spoke even more eloquently of the struggle. Now and then a steel water tank, pierced with loopholes and ripped by cannon balls, Bhowed where some detachment had made a stand. There was a military guard on the train, too—a dozen unkempt soldiers loaded down with rifles and bandoliers of cartridges, and several officers, neatly dressed In khaki, who rode In the firstclass conch and occupied themselves by making eyes at the women. At its frequent stops the train was besieged by the customary crowd of curious peons; the same nolay hucksters dealt out enchiladas, tortillas, goat cheeses and coffee from the same dirty baskets and pails; even their outstretched hands seemed to bear the familiar grime of ante-bellum days. The coaches were crowded; women fanned themselves unceasingly; their men snored, open-mouthed, over the backs of the seats, and the aisles were full of squalling, squabbling children. As for the country Itself, It was dying. The ranches were stripped of stock, no carts creaked along the hlgb> ways, and the roads, like the little farms, were growing up to weed*. Stores were empty, the people were Idle. Over all was an atmosphere of decay, and, what was far more significant the people seemed content All morning the monotonous journey continued—a trial to Alaire and Dolores, but to Jose Benches a red-letter experience. He covered the train from end to end, making himself acquainted with everyone and bringing to Alaire the gossip that he picked up. It was not until midday that the first interruption occurred; then the train pulled in upon a siding, and after an interminable delay it transpired that a northbound troop-train was expected. Jose brought this intelligence: "Soon you will behold the flower of the Mexican army," he told Alaire. ••You will see thousands of Longorto's veteran*, every man .of them a vary devil for blood. They are returning to Nuevo' Pueblo after destroying a band of those rebels. They bad a great victory at San Pedro—thirty kilometers from La Feria. Not a prisoner was spared, senora." "Is General Longorio with them?" Alaire Inquired quickly. "That is what I came to tell yon. It Is believed that be Is, for he takes l i t army with him naawTor be He Is a great i f b t v t 1st baa a for it, that man, and he strikes like the lightning — here, there, anywhere." Jose, it seemed, was a rabid Potoslsta. "When the train arrives," she told her horse-breaker. "I want you to find General Longorio and ask him to come here." "But, senora 1" Jose was dumfounded, shocked. "He Is a great general—" "Give him this note." Quickly writing a few lines on a page from her notebook, she gave him the scrap of paper, which he carefully placed In his hat; then, shaking his head doubtfully, he left the car. Flushed with triumph, Dolores took the first occasion to enlarge ppon her theme. "You will see what a monster this Longorio Is," she declared. "It was like him to steal your beautiful cattle; he would steal a crucifix." •Tve heard that," Alaire said gravely. In the course of time the military train came creaking along on the main track and stopped, to the great Interest of the south-bound travelers. It was made up of many stock -cars crowded with cavalry horses, and penned in with them were the- women and the children. The soldiers themselves were clustered thickly upon the car roofs. Far down at the rear of the train was a rickety passenger coach, and toward this Jose Sanchez made his way. There began a noisy interchange of greetings between the occupants of the two trains, and meanwhile the hot sun glared balefully upon the huddled figures on the car tops. A half-hour passed, then occurred a commotion at the forward end of Alalre's coach. A group of officers climbed aboard, and among them was one who could be none other than Luis Longorio. As he came down the passageway Alaire identified him without the aid of his insignia, for he stood head and shoulders above his companions and bore himself with an air of authority. He was unusually tall, at least six feet three, and very slim, very lithe; a young man; his cheeks were girlishly smooth and of a clear, pale, olive tint; his eyes were large, bold, brilliant; his nostrils thin and sensitive, like those of a blooded horse. Disdain, hauteur, Impatience, were stamped upon the general's countenance as he pushed briskly through the crowd, turning his head from side to side In search of the woman who had summoned him. Not until she rose did he discover Alaire; then he halted; hts eyes fixed themselves upon her with a start of startled amazement. Alaire felt herself color faintly, for the man seemed to be scanning her from head to foot, taking in every detail of her face and form, and as he did so his expression remained unaltered. For what seemed a full minute Longorio stood rooted; then the stiffvizored cap was swept from his head; he bowed with the grace of a courtier until Alaire saw the part In his oily black hair. "Senora 1 A thousand apologies for my delay," he said. "Caramba 1 I did not dream—I did not understand your message." He continued to regard her with that same queer intensity. "You are General Longorio r Alaire was surprised to note that her voice quavered uncertainly, and annoyed to feel her face still flushing," "Your obedient servant" Longorio, with a brusque command, routed out the occupants of the seat ahead, and, reversing the back, took a position facing Alaire. Another order and the men who had accompanied him withdrew up the aisle. There was no mistaking his admiration. He seemed enchanted by her pale beauty, her rich, red hair held him fascinated, and with Latin boldness he made his feelings crassly manifest. "You probably know why 1 wished to see you," Alaire began. Longorio shook his head in vague denial. "It Is regarding my ranch. La Feria." Seeing that the name conveyed nothing, she explained, "I am told that your army confiscated my cattle." "Ah, yes 1 Now I understand." - The Mexican nodded mechanically, but It was plain that be was. not heeding her words in the least Aa If to shut out a vision or to escape some daxsHng sight be dosed his ayes. Alaire wondered If the fellow bad been drinking. She turned to Dolores to And that good woman wearing aa sxpreastoa of stupefaction. It was very queer; It Alaire extreme** til at bit brow aa If _ " ~ — : — • • —J-— to brush away perverse fancies thut interfered with his thoughts. Alaire notk- ed that one of his fingers was decorated with a magnificent dtamoud-audruby ring, and this Interested her queerly. No ordinary man could fittingly have worn such an ornament, yet on the hand of this splendid barbarian it seemed not at all out of keeping. *Dlos!" Longorio conUnued. "Your ranch has been destroyed; your cattle stolen, eh? We will shoot the perpetrators of this outrage at once. Bueno!" "No, no! I don't want to see anyone punished. I merely want your government to pay me for my cattle." Alaire laughed nervously. "Ah I But a lady of refinement should never discuss such a miserable business. It Is a matter for men." She endeavored to speak in a brisk, businesslike tone. "La Feria belongs to me. I am a woman of affairs, General Longorio, and you must talk to me as you would talk to a man. When I heard about this raid I came to look into it—to see you, or whoever Is in charge of this district, and to make a claim for damages." "Valgame Dlos! This Is amazing." "There is nothing extraordinary about It, that 1 can see." "You consider such a woman as yourself ordinary? The men of my country enshrine beauty and worship it. They do not discuss such things with their women. Now this sordid affair is something for your husband—" "Mr. Austin's business occupies his time; this is my own concern. I am not the only practical woman in Texas." Longorio appeared to be laboriously digesting this statement. "So!" he said at last. "When you heard of this—you came, eh? You came alone Into Mexico, where we are fighting and killing each other? Weill That is spirit. You are wonderful, superb!" He smiled, showing the whitest and evenest teeth. Such extravagant homage was embarrassing, yet no woman could be wholly displeased by admiration so spontaneous and intense as that which Longorio manifested in every look and word. Alaire knew the susceptibility of Mexican men, and was Immune to ordinary flattery; yet there was something exciting about this martial hero's complete captivation. To have charmed him to the point of bewilderment was a unique-triumph, and under his hungry eyes she felt an adventurous thrill. While he and Alaire were talking the passengers had returned to their seats; they were shouting good-byB to the soldiers opposite; the conductor approached and Informed the general of his train orders. Longorio favored him with a slow stare. "You may go when I leave," said he. "SI, senor. But—" The general uttered a sharp exclamation of anger, at which the conductor backed away, expressing by voice and gesture his most hearty approval of" the change of plan. "We mustn't hold the train," Alaire said quickly. "I will arrange to see you in Nuevo Pueblo when I return." Longorio smiled brilliantly and lifted a brown hand. "No, nol 1 am a selfish man; I refuse to deprive myself of this pleasure. Now about these cattle." He thought for a moment, and his tone altered as he said: "Senora, there seems to be an unhappy complication in our way, and this we must remove. First, may I ask, are you a friend to our cause?" "I am an American, but what has^ that to do with my ranch and my cattle? This is something that concerns no one except you and me." Longorio was plainly flattered by her words, and took no trouble to hide his pleasure. "Ah! If that were only true! We would arrange everything to your satisfaction without another word." His admiring gase seemed to envelop her, and its warmth was unmistakable. "Why did you taka my cattler demanded, stubbornly. ~ W T O i 106 Fly Poison Cases Reported in 3 Years A Large Percentage Fatal Appa.ll l a * a s this record seems, it i s only a, fraction of the real number.

Previous articles have dealt with the necessity of producing extra quantities of foods to feed the world during this stress of high consumption and paucity of production. Instead of the condition improving It is growing •worse, and unless drastic and immediate action is taken, prices will continue to climb higher. It is hoped by the Canadian government that by offering extra inducements to secure a homestead of 160 acres of excellent land in the hoinesteading areas of Western Canada, with the combined effort of the farmer in extraordinary preparation of tillage and bigger wages than ever, that Western Canada, with the assistance of a Divine Providence, may produce a greater number of million acres of wheat than ever in the past\ The farm laborer can now secure n homestead on easier conditions than ever before. All the time that he works for a Western Canadian farmer during 1917, after he makes his entry or filing will count as residence on his homestead for that year, leaving him but two additional years' residence, before getting title to a piece of land that should then be easily worth $1,600. The response to this offer has been wonderful, and hundreds have already taken advantage of It. The climate of Western Canada is one that breeds energy, instils life and buoyancy, jind with the soil that the <ountry possesses, no greater asset could be desired. The country Is past the pioneering stage; its ability to grow all the smaller grains better than any other portion of the continent has been proven so often that it seems a waste of time to speak of it. The high name that has been given the country In the splendid class of live stock that it raises, has placed^U In the h'gh column with the best states of the Union. And then social conditions, something that every housewife asks about, fire as nearly perfect as could be wished for. Thousands of miles of telephone line connect the remotest hamlet with the principal cities of the country and continent, miles of excellent graded roads, as well as the perfect natural roads of the prairie, make driving and hauling easy. Grldironed as these provinces are with railway lines bring the farm near to Atlantic or Pacific, or United States markets, rural trmil delivery brings the settler still closer to the homes abroad. Ttural and consolidated schools everywhere are easy adjuncts to the colleger and •anlreirslties, which are said to be among the best on the continent. Taxation is light, and only applied on the farm land, cattle, implements, etc., on the farm being exempt. Many fanners, having realized sufficient from one crop of wheat to pay for their entire farm holdings, have installed fhelr own electric light and beating plants, have their automobiles and many luxuries they would not have possessed on their old home abroad. Life Is comfortable and existence enjoyable in Western Canada. In no country is there a greater percentage of contented farmers, and in no part of the continent is farming easier or more profitable. • Land there will produce 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, while there are many eases where the yield was higher, as high as 70 bushels. What this means to the farm laborer does not fully appear on the surface He will get gop/1 wages, he can secure a homestead worth at the end of three years about $1,000, while working for wages he can put in residence duties, and can also look around, and And a good location. Besides the homesteading attraction of Western Canada, there remains the other fact that other lands can be purchased at from $15 to $30, while Improved farms may be had at reasonable figures. The desire to have a piece of land of one's own is a natural Instinct In the heart of every properly developed man and woman. In earlier years, on account of the great areas of land available In the United States, no irreat difficulty was experienced by any ambitions settler of that country who Swished to become his own landholder, but the rapid Increase in population, combined with the corresponding rise In the price of land, has completely changed this condition. Land, which a generation ago might be had for the homesteading, now commands prices ranging to $100 an acre and over. At such prices it is quite hopeless for the tenant fanner or the fanner's son in moderate circumstances, or the dry man with limited capital, to attempt to buy a farm of his own. To pay for it becomes a life-long task, and the probability is that be will never do more than meet the interest charges. If he U serious to kit desire to secure a farm home, he must look to countries where that* hi still abundant fertile land available currency, weights and measures, etc., based ou the same principles as those with which he is familiar. He wants a country where he can buy land from $10.09 to $30,000 an acre, which will produce as big or bigger crops as those he has been accustomed to from lands at $100-.00 an acre. He wants this Ijind where social conditions will be attractive to himself and his family, and where he can look forward with confidence to being In a few years independent, and well started on the road to financial success. All these conditions he will find in Western Canada, and nowhere else. The provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, commonly called "Western Canada," provide the one and only answer to the land-hungry. The land is here; it is the kind of land he wants; the conditions are as nearly ideal as is possible, and the prices and terms are such that the man of moderate capital has an opportunity not available to him elsewhere.— Advertisement. AUSTRIAN SHIPS ARE SEIZED BY U. S. FIFTEEN MERCHANT VESSEL? INTERNED IN AMERICAN PORTS T A K E N . AMBASSADOR IS RECALLED Tclegrama Prepared in Advance lir Anticipation of Break Sent to Repaentative In Austria. NAME NOT OF GERMAN ORIGIN Former Appellation of Russian Capital Shown to Have Been of Dutch Rather Than Teuton Significance. As everybody knows, the Czar of all the Russias changed the name of St. Petersburg to Petrograd soon after the beginning of the present war. And the reason for making the change—so the world was given to understand— was the Teutonic significance of the syllable, "burg." That the syllable had this significance seemed plausible to those who remembered that Peter the Great, the founder of the city, was on friendly relations with the Germans, from whom he learned gunnery in Koenigsberg, and doubtless many things he wanted to know. The Encyclopedia Brltnnnica, however, in a historical sketch of this singular city, makes it plain that the offending syllable originally had Dutch, rather than German significance. "In 1700," says the Brltnnnica, '"Peter the Great' began his wars with Sweden. Oryeshek was taken in 1702 and In the following year the Swedish fortress on the Neva. Two months later (twenty-ninth June, 1708) Pefc?r laid the foundations of a cathedral to St. Peter and St. Paul, and of a fort which received his own name (in its Dutch transcription. 'Piterburgh'). Next year the fort of Kronslott was erected on the Island of Kotlln, as also the Admiralty on the Neva, opposite the fortress. "The emperor took most severe and I almost barbarous measures for increasing his newly founded city, which was built on marshy ground, the buildings resting on piles. Thousands of people from all parts of Russia were removed thither and died in erecting the fortress and building the houses." The Modern 8hepherd. Now an American shepherd rides an airplane in looking after his large flocks of sheep. He says he can cover five times as much territory in a day with a flying machine as an automobile driver without regard for rough places and speed in.looking after his business. The change emphasizes two important points. An American is the first shepherd to fly over his flocks, in contrast with the Blow methods of the shepherds of the old world, who have afforded much material for the poets And the makers of pictures. And it-means that aheepkeeping pays. The aerial sherpherd Is J. Stanley Smith of Martinsdale, Mont., and he has more sheep than any man has personal use for, nearly 100,000 of them, and he employs many men and dogs to take care of the wool growers. All these need superintending, and the owning shepherd has been driving over the hills for some years in his motorcar for that purpose. Now he has enlarged his flocks and his pasturing area so much that he must fly to look after the business. Some men still believe there Is no money in sheepkeeping in this country, and millions of words of encouragement are pnt ont for them annually by the federal government and the newspapers. The one flyer has them all beaten to a standstill, and is getting so rich that he may have a wireless boat to ride In before long,— Worcester (Mass.) Telegram. Washington- Austria-Hungary, ranging herself unreservedly with Germany, has severed diplomatic relations with the United States. Baron Erich Zwiedinek, the Austrian charge, asked the state department for passports for himself, his staff and the Austrian consular force in this country; and simultaneously American Minister Stovall reported from Berne that Austria had announced the break In relations to the American embassy in Vienna. Immediately the treasury department ordered the seizure of 15 Austrian merchant ships in American harbors. Austrian crews were taken off and sent to immigration stations and American guards put on board. Telegrams prepared a week ago in anticipation of this development, were sent to American diplomatic and consular officials abroad instructing them to wind up their conduct of Entente interests in Austria and fo Austrian interests in Entente countries. Spain has taken over American interests in Austria, and Sweden assumes Austrian interests here. The Austrian vessels taken were at Atlantic or gulf ports, as follows: At New York, the Dora, Himalala, Ida and Martha Washington; at Boston, the Erny; at Philadelphia, the Pranconia; at Newport News, the Budapest; at Pensacola, the Lucia; at Tampa, the Borneo; at New Orleans, the Anna Clara and Teresa, and at Galveston, the Campania and Morawitz. The tonnage of the vessels totals approximately 67,000. The largest is the Martha Washington at New York, of 8,312 tons and passenger accommodations for 1,100 persons; the smallest is the Anna at New Orleans, of 1,575 tons. The second largest is the Dora, of 7,037 tons, MOBI of the others are between 3,500 and 5,000 tons register and are freighters., All have been self-interned Bince the beginning of the war. W. L.

London—What seemingly Is the commencement of a big offensive by the British forces in France has begun along a 15-mile line extending from Lens to the village of Henin- Sur-Cojeul, lying to the southeast of Arras. On the entire line big gains in terrain have everywhere been made. Heavy casualties have been inflicted on the Germans and, in addition, prisoners running into tha thousands— and great quantities of war material were captured. The official communication issued by the war office at Berlin says that heavy fighting took place on both sides of Arras, "the enemy having forced his way into parts of our positions.'* The report adds that there was strong artillery firing on the Aisne and Champagne fronts.

They age faster and the appearance of gray hair pr baldhead in early years is, Indeed, often a sign of uric acid. The face appears lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles appearing In young men or women. The best way to combat this premature age and the obstruction to the arteries and faulty circulation is of the simplest: Drink copiously of pure water between meals. Thia will not make you fat, as it is only the water taken with the meals that fattens. Obtain at any drug store a package of Anuric, double strength, which is to be taken before meals, in order to expel the uric acid from the system. The painful effects of backache, lumbago, rheumatism, gout, due to uric acid In the blood should quickly disappear after treatment with Anuric MUCH SAID IN FEW WORDS Detroit, Mich.- Pierce's Golden "I consider that Dr. Medical Discovery saved ray father's life.

"Dear Mr. Clemens: I am touched by your beautiful letter which brings to us deep amtSslfection. On behalf of his excellency Governor Sleeper and the State committee, I thank you warmly for your very generous contribution for the starving Belgian children.

'*anip of David]taw, aranger, hunting a Mexican murderer. Circumstances force her to stay 24 hours La the camp. Law catches his man, kills another and escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, berates bis wife and makes Insinuations about the' ranger. Austifl Is secretly In league with Mexican rebels; Alalre starts for her ranch La Feria, in federal Mexican territory, to secure damages for cattle confiscated by soldiery. CHAPTER V—Continued. *I was coming to that tour husband, senora, is an active CandelerlstaJ For a moment Alalre was at a lost; i very words, senora. Caramba i There then she replied with some spirit: *We are two people, he and L La Feria belongs to ma" "Nevertheless his conduct Is regrettable," Longorlo went on. "Probably evil men have lied to him." For the first time Dolores stirred. She had watched*her countryman with a peculiar fascination. ,No\v she said, as tf freed from a spell: "i'ah! Nobody pays heed to Senor Ed. We do not consider Win/ 'Jose, something tells me you are a devil for bravery. Guard your mistress with your life, for If any mishap befalls her I shall cut out your heart with my own hands/ Those were his Is a man to die for.' Nor was this the last of Longorlo's dramatic surprises. Shortly after the train had got under way the lieutenant Jn command of Alalre's guard brought her n small package, saying: "The general commanded me to hand you this* with his deepest regard." Aiaire accepted the object curiously. ] It was small and heavy and wrapped In several leaves torn from a notebook, and !t proved to be nothing less than God protect us, now J" murmured Dolores, crossing herself devoutly. Aiaire turned upon her with a sharp the splendid dlamond-and-ruby ring exclamation, conscious meanwhile that she had admired the woman's tone, even more tnun ner words, had enlightened Longorlo to some extent. His lifted brows were eloquent of surprise and curiosity, but he held his tongue. "Am I to understand, then, that you rob me because of my husband's action?" Alalre asked. "No. 1 shall help." Longorlo beamed enthusiastically. "It shall be the object of my life to serve you, and you and I shall arrange this matter satisfactorily. I have influence, believe me. Duty calls me to Nuevo Pueblo, and you shall return with me as the guest of my government." He rose to his feet, but his eagerness soon gave place to disappointment ' "Thank you," said Aiaire, "but I must first go to La Feria and get all the facts." "Senora! It la a wretched Journey. Beet" He waved a contemptuous gesture at the ear, crowded to congestion. •There is no food; you have no one to wait upon you. In my company you will be safe. Upon my honor, you will enjoy the highest eoHrtesy—n "Of course. But 1 must go on, 1 have Dolores and Jose to look after me/ Alalre indicated Sanchez, who had edged his way very close and now stpod with admiring eyes fixed upon his hero.

"Caramba 1 The man £ a demon! And such eyes. Uf!" Dolores was interrupted by Longorlo's voice beneath the open window. The general stood, cap In band, holding up to Aiaire a solitary wtldflower which he had plncked beside the track. . "See!" be cried. "It is the color of four adorable eyes—blue like the Sapphire gem." He placed the delli^ te bloom In Alalre's fingers and was "Ouldado r breathed Dolores.

B)<i%e Jones rode up to his front gate and dismounted In the shade of the big ebony tree. He stepped back and ran an approving eye over another animal tethered there. Of course the youths of this day were nothing like the youths of his own. and yet—Blaze let his gaze linger fondly on the highbred mare and her equipment—here at least was a person who knew a good horse, a good saddle and a good gun. As he came up the walk he heard Paloma laugh, and his own face lightened, for his daughter's merriment waa contagious. Then as he mounted, the steps- and turned the corner of the "gallery" he uttered a hearty greeting. "Pave Law! Where in the worW did you drop from?" Law uncoiled himself and took the ranchman's hand. "Hello, Blaze I I been ordered, down, here to keep-you straight" "Pshaw! Now who's been giving you orders. DaveT* "Why, Pra with the Rangers." "Never knew a word of it Last I heard you was filibustering around with the Maderlstas." Blaze seated himself with a grateful sigh where the breeze plaited over him. Be waa a big, heerlike,Jfts»rthy man w|t% t|Ksojfa8^e^4wii deep-lined face of a tragedian, and a head of long, early hair, which he wore parted In 1 line over his left ear. Jones was t character, a local landmark. This pais; of Texas bad grown up with Blaze, and he possessed a splendid indifference to the artificial fads of drest Sanchez came plowing into tremendously excited. r he cried. "Look what ive me/ and he proudly o's service revolver. was nV cartridge it with fee Jeaartjnist was n> .^einw uis own * mm im e, and he r-* •«;**'-r and manners. He was plainly an out* "So you're a Ranger, and got notches on your gun." Blaze rolled and lit a* Uny cigarette, scarcely larger than a/ wheat straw. "Well, you'd ought t% make a right able thief-catcher, Dav£ onjy for js5*r siae—you're tec long f » a man and you ain't long enough for 9 snake. Still, I reckon a thief woulj have trouble getting out of your reach, and once you got close to him— How many men have you Jellied?" "Counting Mexicans?" Law inquired with a smile. "Nobody counts them." "Not many/ "That's good.** Blaze nodded and relit his cigarette, which he had permitted promptly to smolder out "The force ain't what It was. Most of the hoys nowadays Join so they can ride a hone cross-lots, pack a pair of guns, and give rein to the predilections of a vicious ancestry. They're bad rams, moat of "em." "There aren't many/ said Paloma^ "Dave tells me the whole force has) been cut down to sixteen." * That's plenty/ her father averredV "It's like when Cap^n Bill McDonald, waa sent to stop a riot In Dallas, Be} came to town alone, and when tan cttf* •ens naked him wfcer* bis men was, liarssM'slaJt I enenghl There's oaij |o*» flat.' awe ye* workU' m> a ens% •;- <> < • ' • + • • *> + "Uuu-iMr-ye»\_ People qr«? uupeliig a lot of stock hereabouts." "it's these blamed refugees from the WS^I;\k\ Memao has to steal something or he gets run down and pore. If It ain't stock, it's something else." Dave Law'» duties as a Hanger rested lightly upon blm; bis Instructions were vague, and he bad a leisurely method of "working up" his evidence. Since he knew that Blaze possessed a thorough knowledge of this section and Its people, it was partly business which had brought him to the Jones borne this afternoon. Strictly speaking, Blaze was not a rancher. He had speculated heavily In raw lands, and for several years past be bad devoted bis energies to a gigantic colonization scheme. It was by no means a small operation in which he was engaged. The venture had taken foresight courage, Infinite har<! work; Blaze was burdened with responsibilities that would have broken down a man of weaker fiber. But his pet relaxation was reminiscence. His own experience had been wide, he knew everybody in his part of the state, and although events in his telling were sometimes colored by his rich imagination, the information he could give was often of the greatest value—as Dave Law knew. After a time the latter said, casually, "Tell me something about Tad Lewis." Blaze looked up quickly. "What do you want to know?" "Anything. Everything." "Tad owns a right nice ranch between here and Las Paimas," Blaze said cautiously. Paloma broke out impatiently. "Why don't you say what you think?" Then to Dave: "Tad Lewis is a bad neighbor, and always has been. There's a ford on his place, and we think he knows more about 'wet' cattle than he cares to tell." "It's a good place to cross stock at low water," her father agreed, "and Lewis' land runs back from the Rio Grande in its old4 Spanish form. It's a natural outlet for those brush-country ranchos. But I haven't anything agninst Tad except a natural dislike. He stands well with some of our best people, so I'm probably wrong. I usu- 1 ally am." "You can't call Ed Austin one of our best people/ sharply, objected Paloma. "They claim that arms are being smuggled across to the rebels, Dave, and, if lfs true, Ed Austin—" "Now, Paloma/ her father remonstrated mildly. "The regulars and the river guards watched Lewis' ranch till the embargo was lifted, and they never saw anything." "I believe Austin is a -strong rebel sympathizer," Law ventured. "Sure! And him and the Lewis outfit are amigos. If you ,go pirootin' around Tad's place you're raore'n apt to make yourself unpopular, Dave. Fa grieve some to Bee you In a wooden kimono. Tad's too well fixed to steal cattle, and _lf he runs arms it's because he's a 'galvanized Gringo' himself— married a Mexican, you know."" When mealtime drew near, both Jones and his daughter urged their guest to stay and dine with them, and Dave was glad to accept "After supper I'm going to show you our town," Blase declared. "It's the. finest city In south Texas, and grow* tug like a weed. All we need is good farmers. Those we've got are mostly back-to-nature students, who leaped a drug counter expecting tb 'light in the lap of luxury.

Paloma Jones had developed wonderfully since Dave Law had last seen her. She had grown into a most whole* some and attractive young woman, with an honest, humorous pair of brown eyes, During dinner she did her part with a grace that made watch* ing her a pleasure, and the Ranger] found it a great treat to sit at her table after his strenuous sconting-daya in the mesqnUn, — # T m glad to hear lonesviUe is nree> peroue/ he* told his host "And tney say you're In everything." -That's right; and prosperity's no name for It, Everybody wants felsne to have s finger in the pie, I*M insets anted, hi the nank, the sngar seilL the hardware store, the tee piant— Bay. the lea plant's a tatxury for a town Ons sJsn, Ttywi fese* wsvt I it test yenrr v •Twenty-seven thousand dollars r The father of Jonesvllle spoke proudly. taiprfc*St*ely| tuid thenb thfough Liabit^CttUjiid upon,, id* daugbtf? &* verlfiJ&ticE ML>t#Vt % Paloin*=f!

J ! £Mve b*d*4o/ig Wbce learnedffhnt to hold Blaze Jones to a strict accountability with fact was to rob his society of Its, greatest charm. A slavish accuracy In figures, un arid lack ot imagination, reduces ponversation to the Insipidness of Apt wine, and Blaze's talk was never dull. He was a keen, shrewd, practical man, but somewhere in his being there was concealed a tremendous, lox>sided sense of humor which took the form of a bewildering Imagery. An attentive audience was enough for him, and, once bis fancy was In full swing, there waa no limit to his outrageous exaggerations. A light of credulity in a hearer's eye filled him with prodigious mirth, and it Is doubtful If bis listen* era ever derived a fraction of the amusement from his fabrications that he himself enjoyed. Paloma's spirit of contradiction was the only fly in bis ointment; now that bis daughter was old enough to "keep books" on blm, much of the story-teller's Joy was denied him. Of course his proclivities occasionally led to misapprehensions; chance acquaintances who recognized him as an artful romancer were liable to consider him generally untruthful. But even in this misconception Blaze took a quiet delight, secure in the knowledge that all who knew him well regarded him as a rock of integrity. As a matter of fact, his genuine exploits were quite as sensational as those of his manufacture. When, after supper, Blaze had bitched a pair of driving mules to his buckbonrd, preparatory to showing bis guest the glories of Jonesvllle, Dave said : "Paloma's getting mighty pretty." "She's as pretty as a blue-bonnet flower," be father agreed. "And she runs me around something scandalous. I ain't got the freedom of a peon." Blaze sighed and shook his shaggy head. "You know me, Dave; I never used to be scared of nobody. Well, it's different now. She rides me with a Spanish bit, and jpy sou) ain't my own." With a sudden lightening of bis gloom, he added: "Say, you're going to stay right here with us as long as you're In town; I want you to see how I cringe." In spite of Blaze's plaintive tope It was patent that he was Inordinately proud of Paloma and well content with his serfdom. Jonesvllle proved to be a typical Texas town of the modern variety, and altogether different to the pictured frontier village. All in all, the effect was much like that of a prosperous, orderly northern farming town. To its happy founder It seemed well-nigh per- '«*>, .ftfisLlta. jesflpy roused,..his, mad.- dest enthusiasm.

The owner of a brickyard, also owner of the schooner, who had rea^ sons for wishing the brick ia New York at the earliest possible moment, came hurrying on board and demanded to know why Danny didn't sail. "There's no wind," said Danny. "No wind! What's the matter with you? There's Morgan's schooner under sail going down the river now." "Yis, Ot've been watching her, but it's no use my gettin' under way," replied Danny. "She's got the wind now, and, to me mind, there ain't enough of it for two." GIRLS!

Speaking for the newspapers which rofuse to carry liquor advertisements —•some 850 dailies inthe United States —Mr. Schermerhorn, editor of the Detroit Times, says: •"We believe that if a newspaper carries on its first page the story of a tragedy caused by liquor and on another page a guaranteed cure for drink, and on still another page asks everybody to have a drink—that the whole process is as inconsistent as when the nurse marries the undertaker to catch the patient coming and going.

The wild grnpe Is a bandy vine, growing with scarcely any attention. It can be made to cover a Bide fence as - dense hedge, or trained over a trellis or up shade trees. Young plants may be secured in almost any wood or along bushy fence rows. They are transplanted in late fall or winter. Grapevines of every description are attractive, however. The blue gwpe; with' its, health of luscious fruit should find, a place on the home grounds. FOR THE AMATEUR GROWER By LIMA R, ROSE. Flowers should have a friable, very fertile soil tri which to grow. They of tea make a brave display In rather poor soli, but they appreciate good care. Do not plant flower plants to.o close together. Verbenas sadiild fee at least/ 18 inches apart; petunias the same; phlox a foot; pansles 10 inches; sinbias 18 Inches; marigold 2 feet; popples 10 Inches. If flowers are too close In the bed they will not make thrifty growth nor will the flowers; be as large and plentiful. Keep flower beds out of the center of the lawn. They show with better effect if used as borders for walks and aroindtthesWeSr of the. lsrwn. Do you want a soft, thick turf on your lawn? If so, mow often with a lawn mower and let the clippings lie Where*thiey tfail. *Ctiey will Soon Settle in the grass and after awhile they will nja)ta:a-arehiOj[iy soft coat, which keeps the soil from drying out too touch, s«ft>fta;lN4ge8; *t-«*- the^^Cttryv1* If the law"n is a little bumpy, fill the depressions a little at a time with a I peas and pansies, fine garden soil. Put half an. inch of soil 0¾ at a time, and let the grass grow through It before putting on anj more. In this way a lawn can be made smooth in the course of a season or two without being torn \.p and lying bare for months. Do not plant shade trees too near the house. Give the air a chance to circulate round and through the house. Set the trees so as to shade windows during the hottest hours, if you want them shaded, but never close enough to prevent the air from enteriug the windows freely. It is a mi.spaJsen idea that ivy vines keep the.., house damp. They keep it dry. A* soon as the potted plant AHlW the pot, in; which it is plaufed w^th rootSi give them a larger pot or prune it down and prtme the roots so as to Plate fewer of them. Unless this Is done the plant soon be/?an%a/"potbound and begins to deteriorate. Geraniums grow very ' easy from seeds, as do coleuaes. Plant the seed In very fine soil in a box, covering the box with gjass^ or, better/et, muslin * stretched over a frame. Give the little plants plenty of air as soon as they begin to throw out the third leaf. Many interesting varieties may be grown in this way. I like to see flowers about a house and doorway. I da not remember tohave ever seen an anarchist wearing a buttonhole bouquet or a very bad citizen whose house and yard contained flowers. Barsams show to best advantage when they are pruned to one straight stem. Pinch off every side branch, and the single stalk left will be COBJ^ pfetely covered with "a mass of bloom. All flowers keep in bloom much longer, and the flowers are larger, If not allowed to form seeds. Pinch off evtsry^o^er^'"toStf*flg'"ft: oegThs te fade.

Washington.-—It was war night tn Washington, No one who was in the capltol city of his country on the night that President Wilson made his appeal to congress for a declaration of waron a country that has Invaded our rights ever will forget the scene. The night was black with clouds, although rain was absent No one of the thousands on the broad avenues approaching the capltol knew, however, that the sky was overcast Washington was ablaze with light and the glory of flags with their stars shining In the reflected glow of the brightness beneath. The great dome of the capltol rose marble white and beautiful above the city. A score of electric searchlights made shining its surface and brought clearly into the vision the form of the haloed Goddess of Liberty. For the first time in the history of this nation a president of the United States when going to congress to attend a legislative session was accompanied and guarded by an armed body of regular troops. There was a touch of war thus given to the scene before the president had opened his lips to address the lawmakers and to urge that authority be given him to arm the nation to defend the right. On other occasions In the past presidents of the United States have gone to the capltol with a guard of regular soldiery, but these occasions have been those of ceremony only, such a s inaugurations, or the funerals oi men great In the nation's history. President Wilson Is the first president of the United States to ask congress directly by word of mouth for a declaration of war. In other cases a transmitted message was depended upon to move the lawmakers to their duty. Mounted Troops Quard Capitol. The capltol was surrounded by mounted troops. There had been rumors all day that trouble might be expected. A pacifist out of sympathy with the Ideals of a great democracy had assaulted a aenator of the United States who from the first had stood for Americanism. There were crowds of pacifists la town, nine-tenths of whom were perfectly slacere in their belief that there i s nothing worse th^ a war and yet It w a s more than suspected that masquerading under the appearance of pacifism, were men, some few men, bent on evil. The guard of regular troops about the capltol was placed there not without belief In the sound Judgment of the act. Never In Washington, prior to the epochal night had anyone seen ambassadors and ministers pt foreign countries occupying-seats•'-oh the floor of congress as guests during a legislative session. When some American in high public place dies and is honored with a funeral o n the floor of senate or house, as has happened a number of times in the past the representatives of foreign countries are Invited to attend and to show their respect and honor for the dead. Never before, however, when congress was assembled in a- business session have these foreigners in official life been bidden to sit aide by side with the nation's lawmakers. . - - . . . - .

All the judges of the Supreme court were present in .the house on the memorable occasion. Where Is Uncle 8am to get officers capable of drilling, caring for and leading into battle the big army which this country will raise? This i s the question, aa the war department views t t which must l>e answered^ and the only way tt can be answered is by submitting things to a test and proper testing takes a long time. Will the men selected prove to be what they should be? There are none too many officers of regulars today t o perform the duties to which ther are assigned. There are the National Guard officers in addition, hut they wHl have their duties to perform with the federalised OmaroV There are the men who •**! get commissions because they have passed or wand the forces of th« United States, green men or mien who have received ut beat only primary instruction lu the art of war. The underatandtng Is today that there are some 10,000 or 12,000 men who have passed or who supposedly can pass the somewhat rigid examinations for commissions in the officers' reserve corps. The examinations for the reserve corps are sufficiently strict and comprehensive £o make 11 certain that no man who is not exceedingly intelligent and m6re than fairly we,ll Informed "can pass them. Thousands .Have . Offered. There will not be euough of these reserve corps candidates to meet' the government's, ^eed. .Xhaje Js a provision £f the law, section 53 of tha act apprqved June 3, 1916, which allows the age limit to be waived und makes provision for the appointment of commissioned officers who huve seen service or who hav« received military instruction In schools and who are past the age ordinarily fixed for commissions in the various grades. How many men over forty-five years of age the government will find physically fit for commissions it is hard to say, but It is known definitely that thousands of men who have commanded troops or who have served long enough either in the regular army or in the National Guard to enable them with slight additional instruction to enter the commissioned ranks, already have offered their services to the military authorities. The United States government can get plenty of men willing to be officers, but the question is whether they will be able to meet quickly the requirements of field duty. In other words, while the soldiers are being trained in foot movements, the manual of arms, extended order drill and battle maneuvers, will the newly appointed officers have time to acquire that knowledge of men and military affairs which is essential not only to the drilling and the disciplining of men, but to the taking care of them under aQ conditions of field work? This policy "will involve tUa immediate full equipment of the navy in all respects, but particularly in supplying it with the best means of dealing with the enemy's submarines." This statement In the president's address to congress, Washington thinks, was significant of great things that must be done, of real master strategy, of great operations of which perhaps the nonmilltary mind probably has no complete sense. In another place in his address to congress the president said that the practical duty of the United States would be : "To supply the nations already at war with Germany with the materials which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance. They are in the field and we should help tbem In every way to be effective there." The navy department has concerned itself with means to make effective these two plans to which Woodrow Wilson gave public consideration in his address and appeal to the lawmakers of the United States, Naval ofllcers realize the Intimate connection between the two extracts from the president's address here given. Our navy today Is charged In part with the duty of clearing the enemy's submarines from the depths and the surface of the waters. It is a huge Job., v ,.- . . Navy Tackles a B(0 Task. It'follows as a wake follows a torpedo, that i | the navy of the United States, added to the navies of Great Britain, and France, cannot clear the waters, ef. enemy submarines, the labor- of carrying out the secoud suggestion made in quotation *foiP toe: president's address, will be, so difficult o l accomplishment that the navy mind, if it were not a militant mind* might stagger at i t ' . _ " _ ; ,..;• ., Bfary dejiartment "of tjbi govern" meat today i s working to; fulfill the germs'of the president's yord.'tjp c6%- greas to the effect that they would submit measures .for^Jhe accomplish- , ment of the various war objects which he had maqtttpftd- Lpn*rof tpe main things to W ' d b w 'of course; is to prepare this country, and today there are material evidences that the work of industrial and of army and navy preparedness, so far as It affects supplies and means to obtain them, is well in band. This matter concerns Itself, according to the president not only with our own preparation, but with that for continuing to supply the allied nations of Europe with "the ma« tertal which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance" These materials for use abroad must be sent abroad. The naval experts are confronted with a problem which never, before the breaking out of the present war, faced any nation on earth. In fact the problem as it con* fronts the navy men is one of perplexing perils. The submarine i s . s factor in the problem which must be eliminated. » 3£3 hij t h a $ ^ t ^ e n t i /w^oj 4 ^ ^ Frost Proof Cabbage Plan -IT Jerter iind Charleston W l f l u DBtcSTaatorjlJ*; LQO0 b. here; pft»>aslfl. * * 9«r 1W. • ST POTATO PLASTO^Ji 1oje_JLfl&R_,&01L SUits o! the.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, April 20th, 1917 No 17 •tf« MSM Pinckney to Have a Band At the meeting held last Monday evening for the purpose of organizing a band in Pinckney, it was found that the material and enthusiasm was very Appeal to Bankers To Make Seed Loans The high coat of seed, particularly for beans and potatoes, threatens in .^ many sections of the state to deter the ^farmers from planting maximum acreages to theee crops, in the opinion of 'the farm crops department of the M.

This~is a method for aiding farmers v/Lioh some state bankers have already iiiopted, and which is an established feature of agricultural finance in the tiouth. "Short term loans of from 00 to 90 days will not meet this situation," declared J. F. Cox, acting profe%sor of farm crops at the college, ''but by arranging special seed loans running until the crops are harvested, both the farmer and the banker will be benifitted. In the south the entire banking system in rural.'communities is based on the cotton crop and loans are freely made, payable at harvest time. The adoption of this plan in Michigan will do muchtoward insuring the planting of every available acre. The situation offers a rare opportunity for bankers to render a great service to the state.

In the middle of the afternoon the attention of the scholars was attracted toward the street on the east side side of the school ground where the eighteen missing boys were going through a military drill, under the leadership of Mr. Cook, a former H. S. boy. Then their absence was understood by all, they had "skipped". Monday morning went off as usual but at noon, every boy th*t presented their Prof, was politely told that it be signed by him, so they [go to classes that afternoon. al they were kept-and subjected to a severe lecture by Prof. Doyle, in which their punishment which we refrain^rom printing, was rneeted out to them; Miss Lynch was absent Thursday on account of sickness.

She Is forced to stay 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another and escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, berates his wife and makes Insulting insinuations about the ranger. Austin is secretly In league with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs. Austin starts for her other ranch, La Ferla, in Mexican territory, to secure damages for cattle taken by Mexican soldiers, and encounters Gen. Luis Longorio, who becomes instantly enamored of her beauty and personality, much to her embarrassment CHAPTER VI—Continued. £' jr. • - - - • ' \ . _ j i S > —» Law ventured to remark that none of Blaze's enemies had grown fat in prosecuting their feuds, but this was a subject which the elder man Invariably found embarrassing, and now he said: "Pshaw f I never was the bloodletter people think. Tm as gentle as a sheep." Then to escape further curiosity on that point, he suggested that they round out their riotous evening with a game of pool. The next morning at hreakfast Paloma announced, "Father, you must help Dave hunt down these cattle thieves." "Ain't that sort of a big order?" Blaze queried. "Perhaps, but you're the very mau to do it. Ricardo Guzman is the only person who knows the Lewis gang as well as you do." Jones shook his head doubtfully. "Don Ricardo has been working up his own private feud with that outfit If 1 was the kind that went looking for a fight, 1 wouldn't have paid freight on myself from the Panhandle down here. I could have got one right at home, any morning before breakfast." "Ricardo Guzman is something of a black sheep himself," Law spoke up. "Pshaw! He's all right I reckon he has changed a few brands in his time, but so has everybody else. Why, that's how 'Old Ed' Austin got bis start. If a cowman tells you he never stole anything, he's either a good liar or a bad roper. But Ricardo's going straight enough now.* "He has lost his share of stock," Paloma explained, "and he'll work with you If father asks him. You go along with Dave—'* "I'm too busy," Blaze demurred, "and I ain't feeling good. I had bud dreams all night." "I don't want you around me here this morning. That new dressmaker is coming." Jones rose abruptly from the table. "1 reckon my business can wait. Hustle up, Dave." A few moments later, as they were saddling their horses, be lamented: - r m a t did I ten you? Here I go, on the dodge from a dressmaker. I s'pose Tve got to lire like a road-agent now, till something happens." • • • • • • • Don Ricardo Gasman was as American* bat be spoke no English. An accident** tMb had made him a dtUeo ef the fts|M|l Stafee—hU father nav- ~ ft ranch which lay north ef tssjth of the Rio Grande, ich as the property had fallen to Ricardo, his sons, too, were Yankees in the eyes of the law. Bat in all other respects Don Ricardo and his family differed not at all from the * many Garmans who lived across the border. The Gasman ranch comprised a goodly number of acre*, and, since live stock .multiply rapidly, Its owner had In some sort prospered. On the '"rile of a resaca—a former bed of the Kio v^nde—-stood the house, an adobe structure, square, white and unprotected from the sun by shrub or tree. Behind it were some brush corrals and a few scattared mod jacala, In which lived the help. RIcartto had Just risen from a siesta ~ when his two visitors rode up, and he made them welcome with the best he had. In the cool of the afternoon Ricardo rode with his visitors, and then, cordial relations being now* established, ne began to divulge information of value to Law. Tea, be had endured many depredations from thieves. It was shamefuL hot doubtless God willed that a certain 4 amount of stealing should go q » world. The < t s ^ favored by nature* la tty. tse the gJreef ( country to the north and east offered almost perfect security, and the river, to the south, gave Immunity from pursuit or prosecution. The beeves were driven north into the wilderness, but the horses went to Mexico, where the war had created a market for them. The federals had plenty of money to buy mounts. Whom did Don Ricardo suspect? The old man was noncommittal. Suspicion was one thing, proof was quite another; and conviction was difficult under the best of circumstances. Why, even a cow's recognition of her own calf was not evidence for a court, and alibis were easily proved. Unless the thieves were caught in the very act there was no case against them, and—por Dios I—one could not be forever on guard. Who could tell where the malefactors would strike next? Now, in Mexico one could afford to kill on undesirable neighbor without so much formality. But, thank God! Don Ricardo was not a Mexican. No, he was a good American citizen. It was something to make him sleep well in these war times. "Just the same, I'll bet he'd steep better if the Lewis outfit was cleaned up," Dave ventured, and Blaze agreed. Guzman caught bis enemy's name, and nodded. "Ah! That sin verguenza! He sells arms to the Candelerlstas and horses to the Potosistas. Perhaps he steals my calves. Who knows?" "Senor Lewis doesn't need to steal. He has money," Jones argued. "TrueJ But who Is so rich that he would not be richer? Lewis employs men who are poor, and he himself is above nothing. I, too, am a friend of the rebels. Panchlto, the Liberator, was a saint, and 1 give money to the patriots who fight for his memory. But I do not aid the tyrant Potosl with my other hand. Yes, and who is richer, for Instance, than Senor Bduardo Austin?" "You surely don't accuse him of double-dealing with the rebels?" Blaze Inquired curiously. "I don't know. He Is a friend of Tad Lewis, and there are strange stories afloat Just what these stories were, however, Ricardo would not say, feeling, perhaps that he had already said too much. The three men spent that evening together, and In the morning Blaze rode home, leaving the Ranger behind for the time being as Gasman's guest Dave put in the next two days riding the pastures, familiarizing' himself with the countryi and talking with the few men he met About all be discovered, however, was the fact that theN Guzman range not only adjoined some of Lewis' leased land, but also was bounded- for several miles by the Las Palmes fence. It was pleasant to spend the days among the shy brush-cattle, with Bessie Belle for company. The mare seemed to enjoy the excursions as much as her owner. Her eyes and ears were ever alert; she tossed her head and snorted when a deer broke cover or a Jackrabbit scuttled out of her path; she Showed a friendly interest in the awkward calves which stood and eyed her with such amazement and then galloped stiffly off with tails high arched. Law had many times undertaken to break Bessie Belie of that habit of flinging ber head high at sadden sounds, but **• *** nervous and Inquisitive, and this was the one thing anon which she maintained s feminine obstinacy* On. the second evening the Banger rode home through a drizzle that had materialized after a tong, rhiastsnlng" afternoon and now promised to become a real rain. BSoantp taet aim the door roaay: "Too bring good fortune with /on, fee the Uad is thirsty. * » * * # . row, tf this rain Holds, w* shall ctfe together—you, Pedro uud I. Those thieves 6o their stealing when they leave no tracks." The sky was leaden, the rain still fell in the morning when Dave and his two companions set out Until afternoon they rode, tbelr slickers dripping, swaying to the tireless foxtrot of their steaming horses, their eyes engaged in a watchful scrutiny. At lust Pedro, who was ahead, reined in and pointed; the others saw where the barbed-wire strands of the fence they had been following were clipped. A number of horse and calf tracks led through the opening, and after an examination Kicardo announced : "There are two woen. They have come and gone, with the calves tied neck and neck." "That is Las Pal mas, isn't It?" Law indicated the pasture Into which the trail led. Father and son answered, "Si, senor." For a time the Ranger lounged sidewise in his saddle, studying the country before him. Perhaps a half-mile away a long, narrow patch of woods, with the tops of occasional oaks showing, ran parallel with the fence for a considerable distance. "They took them in yonder, to brand," he said, straightening himself. "Maybe we'll be in time." Side by side the three men rode off Guzman's land, following the tracks to the nearest point of woods; there Law stopped to give his directions. "Pedro, you ride down this side; Ricardo, you skirt the outside. I shall keep to the middle. Walk your horses, for I shall go slowly." With a dubious shake of the head Ricardo rode away, while Dave guided Bessie Belle into the grove. CHAPTER VII. A Ranger1* Horse. Onward through the dense folluge the two friends wound. Now and then they stopped to listen, but the rain was heavy enough to drown nil other noises. Encountering fresh tracks finally, Dave leaned from his saddle and studied them. He had gone perhaps half a mile when Bessie Belle raised her head, and lie noted that her nostrils were working sensitively. Law fancied that he could detect the smell of a wood Are. Further along they came to a place where the brush was low, and there, rising through the treetops beyond, he saw a wavering plume of blue smoke. The Ranger rode Into sight of the branding Are with his repeater across his saddle horn and his thumb upon the hammer; what followed came with almost the blinding suddenness of a lightning crash. First there was the picture of a sandy glade, in the center of which burned a Are with branding Irons In It, and a spottea calf tied to a tree, but otherwise no sign of life. Then, without warning, Bessie Belle threw up ber head In that characteristic trick of hers, and simultaneously Dave saw a figure rise out of the grass at his left with a rifle leveled. With the first Jerk of his horses nead tifs own gun had leaped to his shoulder—he was not conscious of having willed it to do so—and even as be pressed the trigger he felt Bessie Belle give way. The next Instant bis feet still In the stirrups, were on the ground and his horse lay between them, motionless. That nervous fling of her head had saved Davtfs life, for the rustler's bullet had shattered her skull In its flight, and she lay prone, with scarcely a mascuiar twitch, so sudden bad been her end. For a moment the Ranger was dazed. He stood staring down at bis pet; then the truth engulfed him. Be realized that he had ridden her to her death, and at the thought be became like a woman bereft of ber child, like a lover who had seen his sweetheart slain. A shout—It was a hoarse, inarticulate cry; a swift, maddened scrutiny that searched the sodden scene of the ambush; then be was down beside the mare, calling ber name heartbroken!?, Ms arms around her neck, his face against her warm, wet velvet bide. Law knew that two men bad entered the thicket and therefore one still remained to be reckoned with, but he gave no thought to that From the corner of hla eye he could see a pair of bootsoles staring at him out of the grass, and they told him them •was not need tor investigation: Near the body ha heard tha calf stirring, be* b* Jet tt straggle. Besets DetMftt bright eyes were glas> jag. t t * voice. Don Ricardo and his SOB burst out of the Druah from upposlte directions almost tit the same moment, tt Hud the Hunger with bia face burled lu hla horse's mane. "Ctirurabu! What is this?" The old man flung himself from the saddle uud came running. "You are injured?" Tedro, too, bent over the officer, his brown face pule with apprehension. "Mother of God !" breathed the latter. "It was a wlli thing to do, to ride alone—" "I'm all right," Law said, rising stiffly, whereupon both Mexican* voiced their relief. "The saints be praised!" "Si! What happened? There was u shot! Did you see nothing?" Law jerked his head in the direction of the fallen man at his buck and Pedro uttered a loud cry. "Look !" Father and son ran through the grass, then recoiled and broke into a Jargon of ouths and exclamations. "KIght In the mouth! The fellow vvus in death before he realized lt.': "See! It Is as we thought, Pedro; one of Lewis'I Tse I Tsel Tse 1 What a sight!" "Who is he?" queried the officer. "Pino Garza, one of the worst I" chimed the two Guzmans. Kicardo was dancing in his excitement. "I told you that Lewis knew something. The other one got past me, but I cannot shoot like—this." It was difficult to secure a connected story from Ricardo, but he finally made it plain that at the first report the other thief had fled, exposing himself only long enough for the old man to take a quick shot in his direction. Uicardo had missed, and the miscre> ant was doubtless well away by LhU time. lie had ridden a sorrel horse, that was all Ricardo could remember. Law looked only briefly at the gruesome results of his marksmanship then he turned back to tbe body of liia beloved mare. Ricardo noticed al length that he was crying; as th« Ranger knelt beside the dead thoroughbred, the old Mexican whispered to his son; "Valgame Dios! This is a Strang* fellow. He weeps like a woman. He must have loved that horse as a mac «oves his wife. Who can understand these gringos?" After a time he approached cautiously and inquired: "What shall we do with this hotnbre, senor? Pedro has found his horse." Law roused himself. With his own hands he gently removed Bessie Belle's saddle, bridle and blanket, then ht gave his orders. "I'll take your horse, Ricardo, and you take—that fellow's. Get a wagon and move him to Jonesvllle." "And you?" "I'm going to follow that man on the sorrel." The dead man's saddle was left beside the body; then when the exchange of mounts had been effected, and all was ready, Law made a request that amazed both father and son. "If I'm not back by morning, I want you to bury my mare." His voice broke; he turned away his face. "Bury her deep, Ricardo, so—the coyotes can't dig her up; right where she fell. I'll be back to see that it's done right. Understand?" "Bueno! I understand perfectly. She was a pretty horse. She was your —bonitn, eh? Well, you hnvo a big heart, senor. ns n brave man should have. Everything shall be done as you wish; I give you my hand on It." Ricardo reached down and gripped Law's pnlm. "We will name our pasture for her, too, because It is plain you loved her dearly. So, then, until tomorrow." Law watched his two friends ride away, then, with a miserable ache in his throat, he mounted and rode off to pick up the trail of the man on the sorrel pony. The fellow had ridden In the direction of Las Palmas, which Dave judged must be fully twelve miles away, and when they continued to maintain this course the Ranger became doubly in* terested. He risked his own interpretation of the rider's intent and pushed on without pausing to search oat the trail step by step. At the second sate the signs Indicated that his man was little more than an hoar ahead of him. Tbe prospect of agsln seeing the raddy-hsired mistress of Las Palmas stirred Law more deeply than he cared to admit Nevertheless, he was uncomfortably aware that she had s husband. Not only so, but the sharp contrast In their positions was disagreeable to contemplate; she was unbelievably rich, and a person of Influence in tbe state, while be bad nothing except bis health, his saddle and bis horse— No; no horse now, sbe was gone.

W£>: Many humorous Incidents have marked the rush for recruits which have been made at the army, navy and marine corps enlisting stntiorts dur- ; lng the last few days, says the Indian- j apolls News. One day at the navy station In the federal building a big, rawboned fellow applied for enlistment as an apprentice seaman. On examination, the officers at the Station found that he was just a little over age for this class of service. He then offered to "ship" as a cook. He was asked whether he had any recommendations for that sort of work. "I haven't got any recommendations," he said. 'But if you order some ham and eggs I will show you what I can do along that line." That didn't seem to satisfy the officers and the man appeared to be up against i t ••Welt I won't ship as a fireman," he said, "that sort of work is too tough for me.

Eminently Qualified. A tiny boy wearing smoked spectacles sat on the curb and watched other boys playing ball in the street. He made an excitable audience, jumping up-, moving his arms and calling out as if he really had something to do with the game. And sometimes—just sometimes—a boy would think to wave back. He was rather a pathetic little chap, but he didn't know it, for when a man paused to ask him If he was having a good time he piped out with happy Importance : "Yes, sir; I'm the umpire." "That's a fine position. How did they come to give it to you?" "Because I can't see straH;ht." The man said It was a most excellent reason, but he doubtless knew that the boys had a finer one.—Washington Star. Busy Correspondents.

"In a war like this, they also serve and serve effectively who till the fields and gardens. "It cannot be repeated too often that the world needs every ounce of food it can produce this year, and that the growers of that food are sure of good prices. When men now of middle age were casting their first ballot, 'dollar wheat' was the farmer's ideal of prosperity. Today, we have two-doilur wheat, with other grains and meats and vegetables in proportion; and Indications that any shift from these prices is as likely to be up as down. "Every acre must work. The farmer who increases his crops Is performing a national service,, us well as assuring prosperity for himself. There cannot be too much, and unless a united and consistent effort is made, there will not be enough."—Chicago Journal. Now that the United States has joined with the Allies, the sentiment of the past has merged into the personal interest of the present. The duty of the loyal and patriotic citizen is to bend every effort to bring the great World's-War to a satisfactory conclusion, to assist in all ways the forces that have been fighting at tremendous odds the giant power of autocracy. Victory is now assured; the union of the great fighting force of the United States navy, Its military, Us financial co-operation, its full and complete sympathy, will eventually bring about a peace that will be solid and lasting. Canada, just across the border line, that has no mark of fortification, no signs of defense, welcomes the assistance that the United States Is rendering, welcomes this new partner into the arena that is battling for a disruption of the forces that breed and beget tyranny and oppression, and fighting for a democratic and free world. What a sight it will be to see the American and the Canadian, with the Stars and Stripes and the Maple Leaf of Canada emblazoned In one fold and entwined in their effort to rid the world of an incubus that has disregarded all laws— human and divine. There is a necessity for the greatest effort ever was made, not only on the battlefields of Europe, not only on the mined and submarined seas, but in carrying out on the peaceful fields of agriculture, the plans so urgently requested by those at the head of the departments of resources. The recent reports by the Government show a great falling off in the amount of grain that may be expected from the crop as of recent date, being only a little over 60 per cent, 16 per cent less than the average. Every patriotic American will bend ail his effort towards increasing this. He may not shoulder a musket, but he can handle a hoe, he can drive a team and manage a plow. He will be doing yeoman service in this way, and assist In a wonderful manner the man who Is fighting In the trenches. If he does not now own a piece of land, by all means get one—rent it, buy it—;get it. There is lot of vacant land that will give ample return for his labor. The desire to possess a home, to Improve it and to prosper, is natural to every American, and today unprecedented offers are being made to secure the residence of the home-hunter. The war condition is draining the continent of its foodstuffs and economists are endeavoring to meet the rapid depletion of the nation's stores of grain and^ other farm products. Western Canada has proven her claim to being the natural producer of economically grown foodstuffs and is lndeavortng to -overcome a world's shortage in necessities by offering her lands, practically free, to anyone who will take them and produce. Labor is scarce in Canada, and is now being bonused. Good wages are. offered and the time a farm hand is drawing pay in 1917, Is considered by the Canadian Government, the same as residence duties on one of the free 180- acre farms, that this Government is giving away, in order, to settle the fertile pftiHes and* bring about within a few years a half billion annual crop of ifrheat. The most conclusive evidence is available to any Inquirer, that Western Canada farm lands win produce more wheat of a better quality and at a lower cost of production per acre than has heretofore been known in graingrowing countries. It is-no idle statement to say, that yUMs of fifty bushels to the acre of wheat are grown in Canada ; the statement is made in all seriousness and la hacked up by the letters and affidavits of reliable fanners hi Western Canada. Tbete tanners are enjoying the same hone comforts that their neighbors to the oooth participate; they have the same good the name good horeea and cattle, the some good roads isnmieetfton, aa won aa the they owu for themselves, being a foundation for greater wealth and independence.— Advertisement.

NO WARNING WAS GIVEN British Admirality Announces That Only One of the Ships Sunk Car* ried Distinctive Markings. London.—The British hospital ships Donnegal and Lanfranc, with manywounded aboard, have been torpedoed without warning. Of those aboard the Donnegal, 29 wounded and 12 of the crew are missing. The Lanfranc carried German wounded as well as British. Of those aboard, 19 British and 15 Germans are believed to have perished. The Lanfraace was a vessel of 6,287 tons gross. She was 418 feet in length and was built in 1907. The Donnegal registered 1,197 tons gross. She was built at Greenock in 1904 and was 331 feet long. The British Admirality made the following announcement : "Owing to the German practice of sinking hospital ships at sight and to the fact distinctive marking and lighting of such vessels render them more conspicuous targets for German submarines, it has become no longer possible to distinguish our hospital ships in the customary manner. One of these two ships, therefore, though carrying wounded, was not in any way outwardly distinguished as a hospital •hip. "The distinctive markings of the other had not yet been removed. Both were provided with an escort for protection."

Washington—The administration selective draft bill which this week Is being debated In congress was explained by Senator Chamberlain to newspaper representatives. Senator Chamberlain said the bill provided for immediate raising of the regular army to 11,422 officers and 287,000 enlisted men and the national guard to 10,956 officers and 326,000 enlisted men, giviing the two forces a total combined strength of 22,898 officers and 614,748 enlisted men. These troops would be raised by the volunteer system if possible. In addition to this force the president would be authroized to raise a force immediately of 500,000 men, and still another force of 600,000 if he deems it necessary. Besides these troops, the bill would authorise maintenance of forces in training to keep the other units at full war strength. Thus, he explained the bill would create a force of 1,611,000 men, in addition to these held in training to fill gaps in the first line establishment. Senator Chamberlain pointed out that draft of all men between Id and 25 would raise a force of approximate* ly 6,000,000 men but with exemptions provided as to trades and dependents the total number accepted would not be more than 2,500,000, or less than half. Should our armies become seriously engaged, the other 3,500,000 would be called, and if that should fail to suffice, then it would be necessary to increase the age limit beyond 25 years.

Mr. Kruttscbnitt urged the committee to recommend a plan of regulation which will center responsibility for regulation and its results in the federal government, so that conditions affecting l >th expense* and.revenues may be made subject to a uniform policy Instead of the wasteful and often conflicting policies involved in the system of combined state and federal regulation. •Why Roado-Need More Money. l^r. Kruttschnltt's testimony also had *y bearing on the reasons for the application of the roads to the Interstate Commerce Commission for a general advance in freight rates. He showed tbat while the price of transportation jma declined in recent years, the cost «ff product)g transportation, like the cost of almost everything else, has rap. Hfco--advanced. This he illustrated by it if freight and passenger Increased during the past in the same proportion as eOBsmodity prices the railroads ^ ¾ ^ ¾ ¾ IWtod «tates would have re- ^ 4 . . ••• eeKei flMiQW.Wh nor* for transaertat> asi la 1W5 than they did receive. t s lae pubik was effect - ' ^ asV^i elite e l am mcreaae of ¢8 per i ^ S d - s a d e e e s t ef eeeration of traias, vS-*w s istecftsa i s tee average passes- > ^ ^rr-JiL&k-Z. l i o n ^m cents in Jal91fii a decrease a reduction in the average freight rate per ton mile from 8.89 mills in 1895 to 7.8 mills in 1915, or IS per cent. During the same period the cost of operation per train mile rose from 92 cents to $1.78, almost doubling. At the same time the average price of 346 commodities enumerated in a bulletin of the Department of Agriculture increased 115 per cent. Transportation is practically the only commodity ia general use that has not increased tremendously in price during the past twenty years, freight and passenger charges being lower than they were twenty years ago. Big Saving to Publlo. If rates bad risen proportionately to the increase in tbe cost of other articles of ordinary use, Mr. Kruttscbnitt told the committee, the average passenger rate in 1915 would have been 2.96 cents s mile, or 50 per cent higher than it was, and the average freight rate would hare been 1.21 cents, or 66 per cent higher than ft was. The sar. ing to the public in passenger fares through this difference was 6314,000,- 000 and in freight rates 61340,000,000. Universal railroad bankruptcy under this reduction in rates and increased cost of operation, he said, was avoided only l)y heavy expenditures to obtain increased efficiency in train movement, making it possible to haul more tons of freight per locomotive. This had reduced tbe average cost of hauling a ton of freight, but the decline in tbe average freight rate had reduced the net revenue of the roads from each ton hauled. If the operating costs of the railroads, including the prices of coal, labor and material, continue to ad« vance at the preseut rate a lot of railroads will be in the hands of receivers by 1918 unless some relief is afforded, Mr. Kruttscbnitt told tbe committee. "Owing to the rise of commodity prices,'' he said, "the purchasing power of the dollar has fallen 55 per cent and the railroads are in the position of being compelled by law to accept payment for their service to the public in currency worth 45 cents on the dollar. PubHc'e Chief Intorost. "Tbe public's greatest Interest la in adequate transportation facilities and not so much in low rates. As to most commodities freight rates form a very small proportion of their cost. Bx^ eluding low grade commodities, tbe percentage of the freight rate to the coat Is so slight as to offer no justification for any substantial Increase in prices to the consumer. It may be stated with little fear of contradiction that the consumer seldom, if ever, profits from a lowering of freight rates. "Extortionate charges are a thing of the past, and under tbe attempt to cut rates to their lowest possible figure the interest of the whole public in the character and standard of transportation is Mhordinated to tbe interest of that pert of the public only that profits by lower rates—that is to say, tbe sMp. pers sad their agents end not tee general public, the ultimate •-•• •*£&#>: * % - • * : • * > 1 .,.-:.-^ ku •>iu by Aiiioru ;ui I'M---.- As.s.jL-'aiion.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, May > d , 1917 N o 18 WHAT CAN YOU DO? Before Joining Any Unit Of The Guard, the Recruit Should Take Stock of His Training and Education Liquor Interests Frightened at Rising Sentiment Tremenduous waste of much needed matertal is admitted by brewers and distillers. Conserve the food supply by stopping the liquor manufacture; that's the insistent demand. Leaders of thought and action in America are asking that as a war measure, use of grains for making intoxicants shall be prohibited, even wet newspapers are lined up in this great conservation scheme, along with many public officials. Kansas City Board of Trade passes resolutions asking congress to art in this matter; similar action is taken by women's clubs and other organizations; people see the folly of continuing converting these products into* poison which destroys efficiency.

A good many young men of Michigan are saying anxiously to themselves: "I want to 'do pay bit for my country. How can I do it to tho best advantage?" This article will endeavor to assist them in reaching t decision. The National Guard, the regular army, the navy and the marine corps are tl! re:ruiting in Michigan now. Enlistments jn any of these organizations)and in any branch are equally needed. The recruit can be sure that if he joins any of them he will be doing his full patriotic duty. But if be is a resident of Michigan and desires to serve his state as well as his nation, he can best do so by joining the National Guard. The state forces have become Federalized by recent legislation, and we can go anywhere in the world that our regular army goes. Likewise, with the war training it will receive, it can do anything that the army can do. Before joining any unit of the guard, the recruit should take stock of his! training, education and native ability. Here are the various divisions of the National Guard service in Michigan, with desirable qualifications: Infantry: Three regiments, located in about 25 of the larger dties of the state. For Infantry companies, good physique, perfect feet, ability to shoot; for headquarters company, band section, ability to play band instrument in addition for machine gun company, mechanical torn of mindy SOBS* knowledge of horses and mules and of retail grocery and clothing business; headquarters company, knowledge of shorthand and typewriting, general clerical ability. Cavalry: Horsemanship and marksmanship; scouting and trailing ability. Big game hunters, trappers and prospectors make good cavalry men. Cavalry troops, Detroit and South Haven. Field Artillery: Natural taste for machinery; mathematical ability; horsemanship. Artillery headquarters, Landing. Signal Corps: Signaling of any description; telegraph or wireless operating; electrical experts and telephone linemen are desirable, or any man with a technical electrical education; horsemanship; clerical ability.

She Is forced to stay 24 hours, until Law captures his man, kills another and escorts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, berates his wife and makes Insulting Insinuations about the ranger. Austin Is secretly In league with Mexican rebels and horse thieves. Mrs, .Austin starts for her other ranch, La Feria, In Mexico, to secure damages for cattle taken by Mexican soldiers, and encounters Gen. Luis Longorio, who becomes Instantly enamored of her beauty, much to her embarrassment. Meanwhile Dave Law, trailing horse thieves, kills a man who shoots hfs horse. CHAPTER VII.—Continued. The mist and an early dusk prevented him from seeing Las Palmas Itself until he was well in among the irrigated fields. A few moments later, when he rode up to the outbuildings. he encountered a middle-aged Mexican, who proved to be Benito Gonzalez, the range boss. Dave made himself known, and Benito answered his questions with apparent honesty. No, he had seen nothing of a sorrel horse or a strange rider, but he bad just come in himself. Doubtless they could learn more from Juan, the horse-wrangler, who was somewhere about. Juan was finally found, but he proved strangely recalcitrant. He admitted that he had seen a horse of the description given. Probably It belonged to some stranger. Dave changed his tactics. "Olga!" he said, sternly. "Do you want to go to juil?" Junn had no such desire. "Then tell the truth. Where la the horse now?" Juan insolently declared he didn't know and didn't care. "Oh, you don't, eh?" Law reached for the boy, and shook him until he yelled. "You will make a nice little prisoner, Juanito, and we shall ftnd a way to make you speak." Gonzalez was Inclined to resent such high-handed treatment of his underling, but respect for the Rangers was deep-rooted, and Juan's behavior was inexplicable. At last the horseboy confessed. He had seen both horse and rider, but knew neither. Mr. Austin and the stranger had arrived together, and the latter had gone on. That was the troth. "Bueno!" Law released his prisoner, who slunk away robbing his shotilder. "Now, Benito, we will find Mr. Austin." A voice answered from the dusk: "He won't take much finding," and Ed Austin himself emerged from the stable door. "Well, what do you want?" "You are Mr. Austin, I reckon T "I am. What d'you mean by abusing my help?" The master of Las Palmas approached so near that bis threatening scowl was visible. MI don't allow strangers to prowl around my premises." Amazed by this hostile greeting, Law explained in a word the reason for his presence. *1 don't know anything about your man. What d'you want him for, and who are you?" Dave introduced himself. "I want fclzfl for stealing Guzman's calves, I trailed him from where he and his partner cut into your south pasture." Benito stirred and muttered an oath, bat Austin was unmoved. "I reckon you moat be a bad trailer," he laughed, ••We/ve j o t no thieves here. What makes you think Guzman lost any calves r < Dare's temper, never too well controlled at best began to rise. He could not imagine why a person of Ed Austin's standing should behave in this extraordinary manner, unless, perhaps, he was drunk. "Well I saw the calves, and I left the fellow that was branding them with a wet saddle blanket over bis face." "En? What's that?" Austin started, and Oonamtes uttered a smothered exclamation. T o o killed him? He's demdr -Dead enough to skin. I caught him with his irons lft the firs sad the calves necked op In your pasture. Mow 1 want sis "I—hope you don't think we know anything about him," Ed protested. "Where's that man on the sorrel horse?" Austin turned away with a shrug. "You rode In with him," Dave persisted. Ed wheeled quickly. "How do you know I did?" "Your boy saw you." The ranchman's voice was harsh as he said : "Look here, my friend, you're on the wrong track. The fellow I was with had nothing to do with this affair. Would you know your man? Did you get a look at him?" "No. But I reckon Don Rlcardo could tell his horse." "Humph!" Austin grunted, disagreeably. "So Just for t h a t . you come prowling around threatening my help, eh? Trying to frame-up a case, maybe? Well.Ut don't go. 1 was out with one of Tad Lewis' men." "What was his name?" Dave managed to Inquire. t "Urblna. He had a sorrel under htm, but there are thousands of sorrel horses." "What time did you meet him?" "I met him at noon, and—I've been with him ever since. So you see you're wrong. I presume your man doubled back and is laughing at you." Law's first bewilderment had given place to a black rage; for the moment he was in danger of disregarding the reason for "Young Ed's" incivility and giving rein to his passion, but he checked himself In time. "Would you mind telling me what you and this Urblna were doing?" Austin laughed mockingly. "That's my business," said he. Dave moistened his lips. He hitched his shoulders nervously. He was astonished at his own self-control, though the certainty that Austin was drunk helped him to steady himself. Nevertheless, he dared not trust himself to speak. Construing this silence as an acknowledgment of defeat, Ed turned to go. Some tardy sense of duty, however, prompted him to fling back, carelessly : "I suppose you've come a good ways. If you're hungry, Benito will show you the way to the kitchen." Then he walked away into the darkness, followed by the shocked gaze of his range boss. Benito roused himself from his amazement to say, warmly: "Si, compaflre. You will enjoy a cup of hot coffee." But Law ground out fiercely: T m not used to kitchen hand-outs. I reckon I can chew my bridle reins if I get too hungry." Walking to his horse, he vaulted into the saddle. Benito laid a hand upon his thigh and apologized. "Senor Ed Is a strange man. He Is often like this lately. You understand me? Will you come to my bouse for supper r "Thank you, but I think Til ride on to Tad Lewis' and see Urblna." At this the Mexican shook his head as ir apprehensive of the result, but he said nothing mors. Law hesitated as he was about to spur out of the yard. "By the way." he ventured, "you needn't mention this to Mrs. Austin.** "She is not here," Gonzalez told him. "She has gone to La Feria to see about her affair*. She would not permit of this occurrence If She were st home. She Is s very fine lady." "Tea. Good night Benito." "Good night senor." When the Banger had gone, Gonzales walked slowly toward his . Iwtth has head bowed thoughtfmOf, "It Is very strange," be muttered. "How could Don tduardo have met this Gurzu at noon when, with uiy own eyes, I saw him ride away from Las i'ulmaa at three o'clock In the afternoon? It la very strange." CHAPTER VIM. Following Up the Trail. Dave wus glad that he hud swallowed "Young Kd's" incivility, not only for his own sake, but for the sake of Alulre. After nil, he argued. It was ! barely possible'that Ed had spoken the truth. There were many sorrel horses; \ the evidence of those rain-washed hoofprlnts was fur from conclusive; even the fact that Urblna belonged to the \ Tad Lewis outfit was no more than a I suspicious circumstance. And yet, ear- [ neatly us he strove to convince himself | of these possibilities, the Ranger could not down the conviction that the rancher hud lied and thut he himself was on the right track. It was late when he arrived at his destination, but Lewis' house was dark, and 't required some effort to awaken the owner. When Tad at last appeared, clad In undershirt and trousers, he greeted the Ranger with a leveled rifle; but when Dave had made known his Identity, he Invited i him In. though with r,urly reluctance. Lewis was a sandy-complexioned | man of about forty, with colorless brows nnd a mean, shifty eye. Formerly a cowboy, he hnd by the exercise of some natural ability acquired a good property—and a bad reputation. Just how or why he hnd prospered was a mystery which his neighbors never tired of discussing. Tad, it seemed, resented any Interruption of his rest, and showed the fact plainly. Yes, he employed a fellow named Urblna. What was wanted of him? Law explained briefly. "Why, he's one of my best men!" laughed the rancher. "He wouldn't steal nothing." "Well, I had to shoot another good man of yours," Dave said quietly. Lewis fell back a step. "Which one? Who?" he Inquired quickly. "Pino Garza." Dave told of the meeting at the branding fire and Its outcome. He was aware, meanwhile, that Lewis' family were listening, for behind a half-open bedroom door he could hear an excited whispering. "Killed the first shot, eh?" Tad was dumfounded. "Now, I never thought Pino was that bad. But you never can tell about these Greasers, can you? They'll all steal If they get a chance. I let Pino go, 'bout a week back; but he's been hangln' around, almln' to visit some of his relatives up in the brush country. It was probably one of them old Guzman saw. Anyhow, It couldn't of been Adolfo Urblna; he was over to Las Palmas all the afternoon," "Did you send him there?" "Sure. Ed Austin can tell you." "Where Is Urblna now?" "I reckon he's asleep somewhere. We'll dig him up and talk to him, If you say so." But Adolfo Urbina was nowhere to be found. No one had seen him stnee about seven o'clock, nor could it be discovered .where he was spending the night. Dave remembered that It had been about seven when he left Las Palmas, and ascertained, Indirectly, that Tad had a telephone. On his way from Austin's Law had stopped at a rancho for a bite to eat, but he could forgive himself for the delay if, as he surmised, Urblna had been warned by wire of his coming. "That's too bad, ain't it?" Lewis said. "But he'll be around again In the morning, and I'll get him for you. You leave It to me." There was plainly nothing to do but accept this offer, since It could avail nothing to' wait here for Urbina's return. Unless the fellow gave himself up, he probably could not be found, now that the alarm was given, without a considerable search — In view of which Dave finally remounted his borrowed horse and rode away In the direction of Jonesvllle. It was after daylight when he dismounted stiffly at Blaze's gate. He was wet to the skin and bespattered with mud; he had been almost constantly In the saddle for twenty-four hours, and Don Rlcardo's cow pony was almost exhausted. Blaze and Paloma, of course, were tremendously Interested In his story. "Say, now, that's quick work," the latter exclaimed, heartily. "You're some thief-buster, Dave, and if you'll Just stay around here little calves can grow up with some comfort.'* When Dave rode to Jonesvtile, after breakfast he found that the body of his victim had been brought ln» daring the night and that the town was already buzzing with news of the encounter. During the forenoon Don Rlcardo and his sons arrived, bringing additional information, which they promptly Imparted to the Ranger. The Guzmans were people of action. All three of them had spent the night on horseback, and Pedro had made a discovery. On the day previous Garsa had been seen riding In company with a man astride a sorrel pony, and this man had been recognised as Adolfo Urbina. Pedro's witness woeUd swear i t Their distance fxoni Las Palmas at the time when they hud been seed together proved beyond uuestion that unless Urblna had -flown he could not ha*e arrived at the place In question by noon, the hour Ed Austin had fixed. This significant bit of Information however, Dave advised the Guzman* not to m a t e public for the time being. Toward midday Tad Lewis and thre« of his men arrived with the news that Urblna had left for Pueblo before they could Intercept him. "He's got a girl up there^ and he's gone to get married," Tad explained. "I'm sure sorry we missed him." Dave smiled grimly at the speaker "Are you sure he didn't cross to tht other side?" he asked. Lewis retorted warmly: "Adolfo's an all-right hombre, and I'll back him. So'll Ed Austin. I guess me an' Ed are responsible, ain't we?" Some skeptical expression In his hearer's face prompted him to Inquire, brusquely, "Do you believe what Pro telling you about his goln' to Pueblo?" "I guess he's gone—somewhere." Tad uttered an angry exclamation. "Looks to me like you'd made up your mind to saddle this thing onto him whether he done it or not. Well, he's a poor Mexican, but J won't stand tc see him railroaded, and neither will 'Young Ed.' " "No?" "You heard me! Ed will alibi him complete." Law answered sharply: "You tell Rd Austin to go slow on his alibis. And you take this for whnt It's worth tc you: I'm goln.n to get all the cattle rustlers in this county—all of them, understand?" Lewis flushed redly and sputtered: "If you make this stick with Adolfo, nobody'll be safe. I reckon Urbina's word Is as good as old RIcardo's. Everybody knows what he Is." Later when Dave met the Guzmans, Rlcardo told him, excitedly, "Thai horse Tad Lewis Is riding Is the one I saw yesterday." "Are you sure?" "Listen, senor. Men In cities remember the faces they see; 1 have lived all my life among horses, and to me they are like men. 1 seldom forget" "Very well. Tad says Urblna has gone to Pueblo to get married, so I'm going t o follow him, and 1 shall b€ there when he arrives." "Bueno I Another matter"—Rlcardo hesitated—"your bonlta—the prettj mare. She Is buried deep." "I'm glad," said Dave. "I think J shall sleep better for knowing that* Since the recent rain had rendered the black valley roads Impassable foi automobiles, Dave decided to go tc Pueblo by rail, even though it was a roundabout way, and that afternoon found Aim Jolting over the leisurely miles between Jonesvllle and the main line. He was looking forward to a good night's sleep when he arrived at [the Junction; but on boarding the north-bound through train he encountered Judge Ellsworth, who had lust heard of the Garza killing, and ol course was eager for details. The two men sat In the observation car talking until a late hour. Knowing the Judge for a man of honor and discretion, Dave unburdened himself with the utmost freedom regarding his suspicions of Ed Austin. Ellsworth nodded. "Yes, Ed has thrown In with the rebel Junta In San Antone, and Tad Lewis is the man they use to run arms and supplies in this neighborhood. That's why he and Ed are so friendly, Urblna is probahly your cattle thief, but he has a hold over Ed, and so he rode to Las Pnlmaa when he was pursued, knowing that no Jury would convict him over Ed Austin's testimony." "Do you think Ed would perjure himself?" Dave naked. "He has gone clean to the bad lately ; there's no telling what he'll do. I'd hate to see you crowd him, Dave." "They call you the beat lawyer in [ this county because you settle so many cases out of court." The Judge smiled at this. "Well, here's a chance for you to do the county a good turn and keep Ed Austin out of trouble." " H o w r "The prosecuting attorney Is a new man, and he wants to make a reputation by breaking up the Lewis gang." " W e l i r "He Intends to cinch Urblna, on RIcardo's and rnj testimony. You're a friend of Austin's; you'd better tip him to set his watch ahead a few hours and save himself s lot of trouble. The prosecuting attorney don't like Ed any too welL Understand r The Judge pondered this suggestion for a moment " 'Young Ed' is a queer fellow. Once In a while he gets his neck bowed."

Htoe atlitkhe Question often ties in a change of table drink POSTUM The head of a horse should be small, refined, and clean cut. It should not be either too concave (dished) or convex (bulging) between the eyes, the former suggesting a timid disposition, the latter strong will power. Compare the sides of the fuee and note any dissimilarity which may be due to disease. The side view of the head should show a comparatively straight line from the poll to the nose. Extremely heavy Jaws are not desirable, especially lu horses of the lighter classes. Mouth.—The mouth should be examined for unsound or abnormal teeth. In the condition known as parrot mouth the front upper teeth overlap those below, while In reverse parrot mouth the lower front teeth overlap those above. If either condition is present the horse is not able to bite off food; and while he may eat hay and grain by getting them Into his mouth with his lips, he would starve on ttnort pasture. Tongues held outside the mouth are unsightly. Muzzle.—The nostrils should be large, clear, and pliable, with the Inside rose colored at rest and deep red during exercise. Nostrils constantly distended and hard should lead one to suspect heaves, a disease which is discussed later. Note whether the nose is deformed or crooked—conditions which mnr the horse's looks. If the under lip is not held firmly against the upper it may be due to a lack of vigor. Frequent application of a de- Poll Evil. rice known as a twitch leaves Bears around the upper lip. This,would lead one to suspect that the horse has some bad habit, such as being difficult to shoe. Face.—Look for blemishes from operations such as on bad teth or nasal tumors, disease which may cause trouble after apparently being cured. Eyes.—Before beginning an examination of the eyes be sure that these important and often unnoticeably defective organs are turned toward a good light. Large, full, well-penced eyes, preferably 'of a chestnut hue with a sparkle and mild expression, are beautiful in appearance and are the least subject to disease. .Small, sunken eyes are often weak and may accompany a sluggish temperament Lacerations on the eyelids are more or less unsightly and give evidence of a previous Injury which may have left the eye weak, especially If the eye sheds tears frequently. To test the sight make a quick motion of the hand away from each eye and see If the lids are closed to protect the eyeball. In doing this It is necessary to be careful not to cause a current of air to strike the eye, since a blind horse may close the eyelid from such a cause alone. If still doubtful about the sight have the animal led over obstacles over which a blind horse would stumble. In which case a horse with good sight will carefully raise and plant his feet over them. A more detailed test consists of taking the borse from darkness to light, and vice versa, and see- LATE WINTER ORCHARD WORK Get i s Much Out of Way as Convenient Before Rush—Best Plan to Be on Safe 8lde. It will be a good idea to get as murh of the orchard work out of the way as you can conveniently before the spring rush. Pruning, cutting away any dead or dying limbs, and spraying with lime-sulphur should be done before the sap rises. It Is best to spray with lime-sulphur solution even If you do not know that you have any scale or fungus disease. The safest plan Is to be on the safe side, and the spray will not hurt the trees auywny. You can be pretty sure that something Is trying to get a bold, and the sooner it la discouraged the better. It is much better to keep the trees clean than to have to d e a n them up after they are showing the effects of the Destructive Dh Hire blight is, without doubt one of the most destructive dJseaeti of peats In this eoentry. Ing that the pupils dilute and contract uliko. Hollows over^ the eyes denott old age or a luck of vitality. Unscrupulous dealers have sometimes inflated these hollows with air. but this can readily be detected by pressing with the Angers, which forces the uir luto the adjacent cavities, leaving the natural hollowness. Ears.—Horses are not often troubled with deafness, still it Is advisable to test the hearing by noting response* to the voice. The ears should be placed fairly close together at the highest point of the poll arid should usually be carried forward. To add to. the appearance they should be of delicate texture, taper to graceful points, and be covered with fine hair. Lopped ears are very unsightly and many tricks are used to cover up such defects, such as tying together with fine thread the ear nets which the horse may be wearing, or the ears themselves may be tied together, the hairs of the foretop lTlding the thread. Slight operations are also performed with the object of remedying this defect Poll.—The poll should be examined for signs of poll evil, a disease caused by bruising the top of the head. Inflammation in this region, usually accompanied by discharge of pus, would lead one to suspect this disease, which is often slow to yield to treatment and which may break out again after It Is thought to be cured. It often leaves ugly scars after healing. Neck.—A clean-cut throat latch on a crested neck of good length gives a horse style and beauty of outline and consequently enhances his value. In mature stallions the development of a full crest is an indication of masculinity. Evidences of bleeding, indicating previous bad health, should be looked for in the Jugular vein, and it is also advisable to lay back the mane and look for scars. The neck should join the shoulders smoothly. Shoulders.—Short shoulders do not generally Indicate sufficient room for a large heart and for lungs capable of handling a maximum quantity of air. Straight shoulders favor a low, short, stubby action of the front f e e t A low carriage of the head, with a heavy irresponsive mouth are often associated with a long back and a correspondingly short underline, whereas the opposite proportions, namely, a short back and a long underline, are desirable. The concussions or Jars on the front legs resulting from their striking the ground are considerably relieved by sloping shoulders, by not having this effect, tend to promote early unsoundness of these limbs. Strong constitution, endurance, good front action, and style are associated with deep, well-developed shoulders. For draft purposes the shoulders should have pronounced offsets, so that the face of the collar wi 1 have plenty of bearing surface. The position of the collar on such a shoulder Is not materially changed, no matter how hard the pull Examine the withers for fistula, a disease similar to poll evil, except that It Is differently located. Fistulu Is thought to result from bruising the withers, the resulting inflammation and pus being slow to yield to treatment, so that cases are often of very long standing. The disease sometimes appears to be of very minor Importance, but the illustration shows the large "amount of tissue that may become involved. Fistula should not be confused with collar sores, which are often found on the top of the neck Just in front of the withers. Collar sores also often occur on the sides of the neck. When not of too long standing they heal readily, If %on properly formed shoulders. Cailoused-thlckened spots resulting from old collar sore again unless the collar can be kept from pressing on them.

TRY GROWING ORCHIDS # U--T- *.?, &*V !&£ By E. V A N B E N T H U Y S E N . Contrary to the general opinion, orchids are by" no means difficult to grow to their fullest perfection. Another prevalent error Is that the orchid Is exclusively a 'rich man's flower.' This is by no means true, for many of the varieties are relative^ Inexpensive, and it Is possible by the expenditure of a very limited amount of money to have a collection of superlative beauty. They require the proper kind of a house, the correct materials In which to grow them, cure in watering and temperature ami the same attention that must be pven to every growing thing, but, given these, the orchid will reward the grower most abundantly. Orchids require plenty of light and air, but must not be exposed to the full sun. The proper shading of the orchid house in summer Is very essential. No other flower of the floral kingdom boasts of BO many wondrous combinations of form, color, texture as the orchid. Of all the flowers that have been given us there Is none to compare with the orchid to embellish our homes with their fresh loveliness of form and color, or for personal adornment. < No other flower so persistently appeals to the refined taste of those to whom orchids have become a passion, the exquisite perfume varying from the faint, delicate fragrance of some of the dendrobiums to the delicious and almost overpowering odor of the Aerides and Epidendrums. Orchids enn be grown In pots, pans and baskets In fibrous peat, with proper drainage. While they require shading In the summer, dark houses should be avoided, and the air should be admitted whenever possible. Cyprlpedlum is one of the most interesting branches of the orchid family and offers a bountiful field of enjoyment to the amateur. It Is composed of many varieties and an almost unlimited number of hybrids, of bewildering variations In form and color. They are of the easiest culture and bloom In the greatest profusion. This class is extremely low In price and offers untold enjoyment to the orchid lover of limited means. The odontoglossums are the most extensively grown of all orchids. They require an even, cool and moist temperature throughout the year. They are among tht most easily cultivated, and reward the grower bountifully. The flowers are fairly bewildering in their beauty and their unlimited variety of colors and markings. Many of them are very low-priced, making it possible to have an extensive collection. AMARYLLIS The amaryllis Is an extremely ornamental plant with large, fragrant, beautifully colored flowers. To successfully grow them considerable attention must be paid to the condition of the soil. The most suitable soil is good loam» with one-fourth part of lenfmold, or pulverized manure, and some sand. As with other plants good drainage Is very Important. The growing season is from early spring until about September, when the plants should be kept cool and allowed to rest until February. They require plenty of sunshine, but during the flowering season a light shading tends to preserve the blossoms longer. To the gardener who has not as yet experimented with this plant, It Is worth a try. New delight and interest conies with the growth of new plants each senson. The past few seasons have seen some wonderfully beautiful results In the growing of amaryllis. Flaming gorgeous colors have been produced along with vnri-striped effects quite bewildering In their beauty. - * • • • ' - _ ARMY TO.

WILL CROSS IN DETACHMENTS Preliminary Training of Four Months Needed by Absolutely Green Men— The Rest They Will Get Back of the Lines. A Beautiful Specimen of Amaryflt* By E D W A R D B. C L A R K . Washington.—American troops will go to Europe lu short order. This la the logic of the whole situation and every army man, whether'un enemy or u friend, knows It It cannot be a secret to anybody except the unsophisticated civilian. If anyone expects to see troops raised In June delay their departure for Europe until the following spring, expectation will be disappointed. Our troops will receive a large part of their training just back of the lines both on the East and West in Europe, for there is no thought, that American soldiers are to confine their activities solely to the fields In France. There are 50,000 American soldiers ready today for the final training within sound of the firing In Europe. Two months In such places as the British troops trained for the fight will prepare at least two American divisions for actual conflict The men comprising these divisions know all the preliminary game. Men with military knowledge appreciate the fact that if green troops are given a year's training In America before being sent to the front, they will have overstayed their time by half a year. Military lessons leafned during the present war and in part during previous wars, if they are put to service as they will be, will result in the quick dispatch of a small but effective organization to the Europeau battlefields, added to from time to time by other increments as they are prepared for the final training for battle. Would Not Send All at Once. No one ought to be led to believe that the United Suites Intends to raise a million men and to send them across the water all at once, thereby Inviting sea disaster on a huge scale and delaying the participation of. American troops In the battle game until It may be too late for them to be of saving service. From time to time during the next year, If war shall continue, the country can expect to see detachments of American troops sent successively across the water under convoy. Many of the men who will enter the service have seen previous military training. They will be ready for the last training back of the lines far in advance of the men who never before have toted a rifle or executed a "squad right." Can Supply the Ammunition. There is the matter, of course, of the supply of troops and It may be said that If we send men over we are In n condition to keep the limber chests and the caissons of the artillery filled with shells and the belts of the infantry and of the machine guns filled with cartridges. The United States is in a condition today to supply the necessary ammunition, and more of It as the need arises to a considerable force of men. If 50.000 troops go to Europe within a month, as is likely, they will not want for supplies of every kind so long as the lanes of approach can be kept open, and this our navy unquestionably can attend to. Prior to the sending of a second expedition there will he ample time to provide Its equipment and a continuous flow of ammunition. Our factories are In good shape, not only to supply quickly American needs but allied needs. When the men are ready they will go and It will not take as long to make them ready as some people seem to believe. Absolutely green troops must be taught "the school of the soldier," obedience, self-reliance, guard duty, company and battalion drill before they are sent aboard, but this can be done In four months time. With a supplementary training of from two to three months under semi-battle conditions in Prance or with the Russians on the eastern front, th<jse men will be ready for the fighting line and in less time than most Americans seem to think is to be needed to give them their preliminary drills In this country. The man who enlists now will get Into Eur^ npe long before be has uny Idea will l>e the on Re. First Line of Defense. Const guard ah'ps of Uncle Sam out on the lonely sens are patrolling their ports and doing sentinel duty for the United States. In a way these cutters of the old revenue service form a first Une of defense for the buttles!)ipa, the cruisers, and the (tarn-overs, and /or the cities of these United States. The cutters not only are sentinels, but they are fighters. Of course they cannot contend with the great ships of an enemy's navy, nor with the smaller armored craft, but they can do valiant service against submarines. Moreover, with their wireless they can flush Instant signals of warning to all the warships near shore, to all the navy yards and to all the coast service stations of the home land. These cutters of ours that are patrolling the seas are taking chances. It has been asked whether or uot they will be effective against enemy submarines because the cutters, some of which are as ancient as they are honorable, are not us fast as the "law of legging it" on the seas demands In this modern day. There seems to be little fear in Washington that these vessels will not do their duty up to the handle, and little greater fear that one of them will not be able to cope with a submarine if it appears above the surface to give battle. One of our coast guard vessels can stand a good many shells without going to the bottom unless, of course, one of the projectiles shall hit a vital place below the water line. When It is traveling on the surface a submarine uses its guns, and not its torpedo tubes, which are for service under water. While the coast guard vessel can stand up after being wounded, such is not the case with the submarine, for the U-boat is a frail creature and one small projectile well placed will do for it. Moreover, slow as the cutters are they can make as good time as the average submarine can make when traveling on the surface. The speed of a submarine under the water is four or five knots less than when traveling above it. Count on Much From Alaska, Alaska, as the "ordinary geographically located" resident of the United States looks at it, is a long way off, but out of Alaska the war department expects much to come In the way of high-class men and material for the great army which is to be raised for service in the present war. Alaskn Is a hardy country. The men who live there, or who have seen service there, are men who have met life in both its harsh and in Its appealing features. Alaska, however, Is recognized as being rugged rather than harsh and rugged characteristics are soldier-making characteristics. The government has been at work In Alaska for a great many years. It has been represented there by soldiers nod civilians. Men of the service and of civil life together have built roads and trails through the great territory in order to make the means of communication ensy through a country the face of which at one time seemed to be set forbiddingly against access and transportation endeavor. For twenty years in Alaska an army officer has been stationed and for ihe greater part of that time he has been at the head of the board of road commissioners engaged in the construction of wagon roads, bridges, trails and military and post roads under the direction of the secretary of war. • Col. Wilds P. Richardson, U, S. A., has been president of this board of commissioners for a long time. Now with war upon us It seems certain that the field of operations of Colonel Richardson will be changed from the great territory of the United States to the field of military operations. Nearly all the colonels of the United States service today before long will be wearing the stars of a brigadier or major general. Men Alaska Can Furnish. The nature of the Alaskan territory, like that of all virgin and semi-virgin countries, makes it a fine field for the fostering of manhood. It seems likely that from Alaska there will come miners, and road builders, blasters, trench diggers, chasm spanners, and men generally used to the overcoming of natural obstacles, to a.service already virtually equipped without much preliminary tminlng for that kind of field work which seems to be inseparable from the methods of modern warfare. It Is to be wondered If the American people have a thorough appreciation of what the development of Alaska by the road builders has meant In the way of hard work. It Is recognized that hard work Is a comparative term. In a recent'statement concerning this great territory of Uncle Sam ttrts was said: "The task of building roads throughout this vast wilderness of Alaska to meet the rapidly growing demands and to aid In a systematic development of Irs resources cannot be adequately described by any less comprehensive terra than colossal, and the hope cannot be to make more than a beginning during the official life time of the members of the board now engaged In the road building." • Years sgo the writer of this article was a schoolmate at West Point of CoL Wilds P.

GREAT ACTIVITY IN GOVERNOR'S OFFICE E N R O L L E D ACTS BEING SIGNED — W A R BOARD D E V I S I N G W A Y S T O RAISE MORE FOOD. RAILROAD MAN ON STAFF Will Handle Transportation End of Work and Expedite Shipments of Seeds and Fertilizer. (From Our Special Correspondent) Lansing. Until May 10, when the legislature convenes again to take its final adjournment, the chief business connected with the law-making process of the state is centered in the office of Governor Sleeper. The enrolled acts of the house and senate are being delivered there as fast as they are signed by Lieut. Gov. Dickinson and Speaker Rice. The final adjournment of the legislature will be had at 12 o'clock noon on Friday, May 11. Sessions will be held in both houses on the day preceding, so that if any errors are found that must be corrected they may be taken care of before the official ending of the session is had. It is expected that the governor will be able to report on every bill laid before him by the time the sine die adjournment is taken. In addition to the winding up of legislative activities, the governor's office nas been the scene daily of important conferences in relation to war preparedness measures. With the signing- of the Foater-Petermann bill authorizing the states $5,000,000 war loan, it has been i>o«i*ible for war preparedness work to be conductei with dispatch. For the present, the item of food preparedness is receiving nearly all the executive attention. The food boajd is devising every means it can to- encourage the greatest production of crops the state ever has had, in order to forestall the danger of a food shortage in the state and nation next fall and winter. The Michigan Railroad Association has 'loaned** to the war preparedness board the services of its secretary, CharleB E. Webb, and the latter will handle the transportation end of the preparedness work. At the outset he ; is endeavoring to find adequate 'means to distribute throughout the state all the seed and fertilizer that can be obtained. Later, when the added forces it is intended to marshal for farm work are ready, the work of placing them about the state also will come up to the transportation department. Official standing already has been given by the war board to numerous companies of home guards that have been formed in Michigan towns. Home guard service does not obligate any one in it to federal service, but neither does it exempt them from it. It is hoped that the guard will be a nucleus from which regiments of soldiers for federal service will be organized in Michigan. The home guards will be permitted to use the armories in their towns. They will be organized in companies of fifty men each and the guardsmen and tiieir officers will be enlisted for three years, or for the duration of the war, and the officers will be given commissions. Motor and cavalry patrols will be part of the guard as well as Infantry. Age is no bar to guard service. The official designation of the guards will be "Michigan State Troops.'.' Speedy Legislation. Rep. Henry L. Schmidt, of Grand Rapids, youngest member of the legislature, fust about established a speed record on legislation on the final day of the session. He discovered that one of his bills, to permit the Incorporation of lodges of Odd Fellows, was sound asleep in a senate committee and about to die along with the several hundred other bills still in committee. It had passed the house, but the senate committee that received it had been too. busy to even look at it up to the last day and then was forgetting all about i t Schmidt, by personal appeal, got the committee to hold a meeting. His bill was looked over and the committee agreed to report it out with a small amendment The senate happened to reconvene after a recess just then and found it had nothing to do, so the Schmidt hill was reported out and named as amended. Schmidt hurried hack to the house, which also was just reconvening after a recess and had it accept the senate amendment to his bin. It had taken just tea minutes Co get tht bill out of committee an* ttoMgh both o* PINCKNEY DISPATCH. I emperance INoTes88 (Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) 8ENT1MENT IN RU88IA. The Petrogrud correspondent of the Neue Zuricher Zeitung, in a'survey of the two years sobriety in Russia, quotes a representative of the duoia as tsayiug that "the very thought of the fearful consequences on the battlefield and in the country itself of a continuation of the alcohol regime makes every patriot shudder." The writer continues : "We are, therefore, more than overjoyed to know that it has been statistically proved that the daily producing capacity of the workingman, since the promulgation of that message of salvation, has been increased by 15 per cent, and that Monday, the day when millions of muzhik (farmers) were found in the gutters, has become a normal work day in Russia. But not only the mir (village community) felt the consequences; the life also in the city was as if of a sudden transformed. How quickly the population grasped the prospective benefits of the great reform is best shown by the fact that when it became known that the imperial ukase, in order to become legally valid, would need the express consent of the majority of the mlrs, only an exceedingly low percentage refused the Indorsement. "Nobody has so quickly and completely grasped the import of the social revolution as woman, the greatest sufferer from the old alcohol curse. We are, therefore, not astonished to learn that as soon as the saloons were definitely closed the peasant women marched to the churches in Indian file to burn a candle each, thanking the Lord for the great delivery. "When last spring the question of repermitting the sale of beer and red wine came up in the duma, Tarasov, a farmer-deputy, exclaimed : 'If the women would hear you they would pull you down from this platform.'" A NEW YORK HOTEL MAN'8 VIEW. * Mr. Frank Case, for 14 years proprietor of the Algonquin hotel, New York city, has closed his bar to stay closed. The fact is chronicled by the New York Times. Being asked "why" by a group of astonished friends to whom he made the announcement, Mr. Case pointed to a small boy crossing the hotel lobby with a bunch of school books under his arm. "There's one reason right there," he said. "That youngster is my own son, Just coming home from school. I have decided that I don't want to pay his school bills and the other costs of bringing him up on the profits from booze. I guess that's my chief reason, but there are others. "The large profits made by the bar, ($10,000 last year)," he went on, "made mo sick. I had to admit to myself that I was a rumseller, and that is something I don't want to be. I am not posing as a reformer. I take a drink myself occasionally, but I don't want to* sell it to another man. Would you want t o r Everybody said no, although there was not a total abstainer In the group. TO MEMORIALIZE CONGRESS. Speaking at a meeting of the Dry Chicago federation concerning the memorial to congress in behalf of national prohibition, ex-Governor Foas of Massachusetts said: "The memorial Is cast In very radical terms, but It has won the support of most persons of great importance In the most conservative circles and in all walks of life. Professors of Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, heads of great railroad corporations, presidents of banks and leaders in the industrial and commercial world, a s well as scientists and alienists, have signed this document. We think that both congress and the country will be astonished at the character of the signatures when they are published." SIGNIFICANT ADS. Saloons—Several flrst-class locations, for sale or rent.

EGYPTIAN SKIRT IS GAINING Straight, Knife-Plaited Design Wins Increased Fsvor—Paris Invented It Because It Means Saving of Material. New York.—Probably the lack of eccentricity in the spring apparel la its distinguishing feature. This is an admirable trait In time of war, but France did not foresee that America would be in war when she designed the spring clothes that have been universally accepted in this country. Paris keeps its wartime clothes for its own people, and has never failed to send to the rest of the world a fresh batch of newly Invented gowns bearing all the marks of frivolity and extravagance. Many reasons have been given for the lack of eccentricity noticeable in the French gowns, but whatever the cause, it is a matter of satisfaction that the condition exists. Women are compelled to buy new raiment at each change of season, but in time of a national crisis they do not think It fitting or seemly to indulge in the peculiar caprices of dress which have marked recent eras. Other Days, Other Clothes. It is a common cry to say that the existing generation is always the most provocative of criticism. We forget what h'as gone before In history, in humanity and in religion, as well as in dress. There are critics who cry aloud over a certain fashion, consider it monstrous, and wonder what our young women and girls are coming to that such a fashion should be unblushlngly accepted. They speak In excitable tones of the respected dead and refer This gown 1« built up of two fash* ionable materials and colors. The skirt Is barreled by draperies of dark blue satin, the sleevea, collar and sash are of satin. The biscuit-colored jersey Is embroidered in dark blue. to our grandmothers as women who insisted upon dressing in a seemly and modest manner. But, just as Agnes Kepplier has forcibly and brilliantly told of the new women among the cAd women—the brilliant, insurgent characters that were the pioneers of our race in America—so some student could tell of the extravagances, caprices and indecencies in dress that swept over the generations to which our sainted grandmothers belonged, and which, in their time, were denounced by the pulpit and the press. This season is ushered in without the eccentricities of those generations or even the half-decade that has just slipped by. One may call the narrow skirt an eccentricity, but In Its modifled form it Is very attractive, and it saves material, which is the reason that Paris Invented i t It is rather amusing that the women who have organised for a national defense and who urge economy in buying clothe*, call especial attention to the pegtop or melon skirt as a garment to be frowned upon, when this very garment was invented by Paris to save material and thereby lower the price that a French woman has to pay for her skirt. , Naturally, the French designers did not charge the Americans any less for a pegtop skirt than a full one, nor will the American r h f •msknri make any dtflsresice hi prtoas because of the scarcity of matsrlst u s e d ; but t k s thousands upon thousands of women who buy material for their own gowns will aee the advantage In dropping the extra-full skirt and adopting the alira line of the new silhouette. The Straight Silhouette. Already the exclusive dressmakers are Insisting that the pegtop skirt, or the drapery that la pulled out at the hips, is mediocre. The first fashion, they insist, calls for a straight silhouette from shoulder to heels without the break given by the pannier effect at the end of the corset. What is known as the barrel skirt, pure and simple, has few followers, but the skirt with the kangaroo extension at each side is admittedly the popular success of the hour. Against this skirt is the one called Egyptian, which has been described by all the fashion writers until the women know most that there is to know about it. It is the straight, knife-plaited skirt dropped from the waist or from a shallow yoke, and is supposed to have been worn by the fashionable Alexandrians at the time of Thais and Aphrodite. There is so much that is Egyptian In the spring clothes that it should not surprise the onlooker to see this straight, plaited skirt win cat above all others before June arrives. Bulloz, for instance, has met with singular success in this country through a gown which he calls Aphrodite, and which was originally made for Mile. Chenal when she sang the title role In the opera last autumn in Paris. Bulloz has changed the gown somewhat, but everyone who was in Paris last autumn remembers it. It is made of black chiffon in three long, Egyptian tunics that hang limply against the figure, each one embroidered with a wide band of silver bugles in an ancient design. The upper tunic Is longer than the rest and hangs in drapery on the floor when dropped; but it Is skillfully manipulated by the arm, which can pass through a long, embroidered slit and drape the length of the chiffon and silver about the body as one wishes. Chenal was given to the posture of extending her arm In dramatic gestures, bringing about somewhat the same effect which she gave to the drapery which made her famous when she sang the "Marseillaise" in Paris. With this gown goes a tall Egyptian headdress of fine silver bugles and beads set on black. Egyptian Touch in Wraps. Another Egyptian touch in costumery Is shown In the evening wraps for spring, which are quite luxurious, but light In weight and texture. Taffeta Is used for this garment more than for any other. The wide, draped collar which rises above the ears and folds Itself down on the shoulders is the preferred one, and it Is used for street wraps as well as evening ones. None of this is Egyptian, but the touch of Cairo is seen In a great square of bullion-embroidered silk which, is placed flatlj agalr^gj jhe back of the wrap. On some garments it looks as though a brilliant, ornate cushion cover had been picked up and neatly tacked at each of its corners to the loose back of the taffeta wrap. The Egyptian Phoenix wing, which was decoratlvely used at one of the fashion exhibitions In New York, supplies color for much of the new costumery. The blue, green and coral of this symbolic bit of Egyptian life Is copied In gowns, and especially In Jewelry. With all this atmosphere of the E a s t of Cairo and Alexandria reflected In the clothes of the hour, It seems probable that the straight, plaited skirt that hangs plumb from the waistline will outlive the one with the side drapery at the hips. But even If both remain equal in value and fashion, one thing is certain—that there is no chance for the skirt with the wide hem. Since January, skirts have lessened In width below the knees, and although the public refused to believe that the wide, flaring, umbrella skirt belonged to a day that was done, the dressmakers have insisted upon Its use. In Paris they diminished the width of skirts gradually, but over here the change appeared to come overnight, although the prophets and experts had been insisting upon this revolution for three months. The trouble with the public Is that It will rarely believe what it reads, but relies on what It sees. This Is good, sound wisdom, but It often keeps a woman from being prepared for a change when it comes. The shops have the canny business instinct to supply the old with the new as long as they've got both on hand, but it is the duty of the reporter to tell of what is coming more Insistently than what Is going.

Y. DO YOU KNOW THAT OIL has made more than one thousand millionaires during the past year? It has produced more of the fabulously rich multimillionaires than all the other industries. It is the one business alone that has produced the billionaire. The greatest bank in the world has an oil institution—the National City Bank of New York. The great insurance, mining, smelting and railway companies are controled by oil interests. The Steel Trust is a child of the Standard Oil billions. There is room for several thousand more millionaires, and oil will make them. Do you want to be one of them? Don't say, I will not invest a dollar. Don't say, a dollar will not make me anything. Don't say, I cannot afford to try. Don.t say $10 invested will never make me rich. Don't give up but listen to my offer. Call or write American Socorities Co., 3508 N.
