A CLOSE CALL A party of young people from YJ>M 1, nti eauiping at Portanc Pake are not at the present time having as much pleasure as they enjoyed S u n d a s . On that da\ they had fun galore until their luck changed. Dressed in bathing suits that would not have been a p p r o \ e d by their j^ra ndmothers they drove around the country and through Pinckney in an undignified search of fun. However one young man could not stand the pace and became temporarily afflicted with alcoholic paralysis of the brain. His friends became alarmed and one of the party whom we will call Smith—because that is a common name and his friends beg that his real name be not published—asked Karl Baughn to accompany him to get Dr. Sigler to tire stricken man as soon as possible. On the way, near the W. C. Miller farm, the Buick speeding at 60 miles an hour became unmanageable u n d e r the driving of Smith. Mr. Baughn rem o n s t r a t e d with the driver to no avail and then decided -to j u m p . At the speed of 60 miles an hour this j u m p - ing is a dangerous undertaking but E a r l curled himself up like a bail and vacated the car. After striking the ground he rolled for some distance accompanied by the speeding car. But the momentum was soon lost and E a r l straightened up uninjured except for a few superficial bruises. The driver, however, did not fare as well, as the car wobbling along at nearly double the lawful speed limit lost a front wheel and soon came to a halt. Mr. Baughn assisted thr W a s h t e n a w county speed demon and he was taken to the Sanitarium where Dr. 11. F. S i l - ler looked after his many wounds and bruises. The young hero will live and regret the accident but will not really enjoy life for some time. Meanwhile the mentally paralysed young man personally came down to sec the Doctor, after having received first aid t r e a t m e n t in the nature of a slap in the face, and was finally persuaded to subdue his exhilaration. His friends begged that no names be published and out of consideration of .their perfectly respectable relatives th*\v arc not published at this time.

( P r e p a r e d hy the United Statea D e p a x t m e n t of A g r i c u l t u r e . ) Woodland owners many times a r e confronted with t h e problem of when to sell standing timber and when to r u t it for use on t h e farm. Experience h a s demonstrated that In some localities it unquestionably pays the f a n n e r better at all times to sell, particularly the mure valuable kinds of wood. For example, in t h e central tiardwood region farmers sell their select yellow poplar t r e e s profitably and with the money buy and haul back to t h e farm for distances of from four to eijrht miles southern pine siding for their houses a n d barns. On the other hand, there a r e too nft^n instances where one finds choice white oak of the best quality, suitable for veneer or furniture stock sawed u p :nt^> posts for the farm. Keep in Touch W i t h Market. It would be well for t h e owner to keep in touch with m a r k e t conditions, so lie may market his product to t h e 'iest advantage. With r a n d y an ex- '•eption t h e timber is not dyiutt, decay- 'nj: or "troinir back" by fundus or insect attack at tin1 rapid rate alleged I'.v buyers, who, obviously, desire t<> buy a s cheaply as possible. Unless t is ovfrmature it is increasing yearly n volutue and value. <'utiing during llie early period of growth, says the l':iited States Department of Agriculture, often represents a real sacrifice in financial re- ;urns. T h e approximate ago at which trees should be eui in order to obtain the highest returns a year is very diifct'cnt for different species, Thus co'itonwooii, ash, hickory and yellow poplar became coiunieroially valuable at much earlier ages than white oak and black walnut. When other farm work is least pressing many f a n n e r s find it profitable to turn their attention to estiniilt- .IILT. measuring, cut ting, market ing and selling their timber, Spare help and rime to supervise t h e work make the winter a favorable season for this. It is easier to haul h ^ s on the snow than over ordinary roads, and the logs a r e less liable tluin at any other time of the year to deteriorate quickly through attacks of Insecis or fungi, Best Method of Selling. The choice of methods of selling depends largely uji*on t h e kind of timber and the owner's knowledge of its value, his past experience and t h e condition of the market. Timber products a r e sold either in the standing tree or In a more or less roughly manufactured condition. Except when sold by the lot or lump, sales a r e based upon a measure by log scale or lumber tally or upon individual coiftit of units of designated size or character. Timber sold by t h e lot, boundary, or tract is either "lumped off" to include a designated tract or sold nn an acreage basis. This method has prevailed over all others, particularly in t h e rougher and less-settled districts. As a rule It is strongly favored by t h e purchaser because in such a transaction his better knowledge of both timber yields and values gives him an advantage over t h e a v e r a g e owner. Many examples of t h e sacrifice by the owner of a large share of t h e value of t h e timber can be found in nearly any wooded region. On account of greater competition among purchasers and a bettor understanding on the part of the owners of timber values, sales of standing timber by the lot or lump a r e now being made with better proiit than formerly. In using this method it i s very important, in advance of t h e sale, first to secure a good estimate of the quantity, quality and unit value of each kind of product In the s t a n d ; then to get bids from a s many buyers a s possible; and, finally, to have a n agreement clearly specifying t h e restrictions in regard to t h e manner and amount of cutting so a s not to impair the producing power of t h e forest. T h e sale niny Include only trees above n specified minimum diameter, or such trees as have been previously marked by the owner for cutting. When properly safeguarded, this Becomes one of the safest and most satisfactory of all methods of selling and should receive full consideration when sales are contemplated. Place Restriction*. Selling by lump eliminates the anxiety and misunderstandings attending salf»a by log-scale measurement. If competition Is keen, it is likely t h a t nenrly or qnite the full value of t h e timber will be reached in the bids. By j this method, however, t h e owner foregot « the opportunity of profitable employment for himself and Ids t e a m s which he would have If he logged t b e material and sold It after hauling It to t h e mill or shipping point. U n l e « r e s f i c t e d by t h e t e r m i of the agreement, t h e buyer usually cuta very closely. Selling by t h e lot Is therefore u good method to u s e w h e r e the owner intends to cle'ir t h e land for other uses. Hut if t h e land is to be kept in timber, t h e owner should include provisions in t h e contract of sale to retain t h e young, vigorous growing timber and provide for a future crop. The Importance of care in cutting, on account of its effect upon succeeding growth and production of the stand, can hardly be overstated. GAS-TAR TREATMENT PROTECTS CONCRETE Bureau of Public Roads Gives Results of Tests. Fluid By-Product of Artificial Gar Plants Proven Satisfactory in Preserving Drajn Tile Against Alkali. (Prepared by tbt> t'nlted States Department uf Agriculture.) In its seareli tor a m e a n s of protecting l'ortland cement concrete against t h e action of alkaline waters. the bureau of public roads, United States Department of Agriculture, announces promising results from treatment with a very lluid crude water-gas tar, such as may be obtained as a byproduct from many artificial gas plants. So successful have t h e tests been that further investigations of the alkali-resisting properties of tartreated concrete and m o r t a r a r e under way and the protective effect of water gas t a r o n mass concrete structures is being studied. T h e t r e a t m e n t consists of simply immersing t h e concrete in t h e liquid, which is soaked up, even by u dense concrete. Cement drain tile treated in tliis way and stored from six to eight months in a strong alkali solution have shown no indication of disintegration, and samples tested for tensile strength were as strong as those stored in pure water. On the other hand, untreated samples showed both disintegration and a loss of strength. In eertaia p a r t s of t h e country where alkali salts exist concrete drain tile and concrete s t r u c t u r e s h a v e been attacked. In many such places concrete Is a very desirable material on account of t h e accessibility of t h e materials that go Into it. T h e b u r e a u ' s investigations aim t o devise m e a n s of using concrete with assurance.

What Is It Worth to Change a Tire? On the road changing a tire is not an especially pleasant task. The dust or mud, the grease and grime, the tedious delay—all are things we like to avoid. But the time to think about these things is when you buy the tire—not after the blow-out occurs. For some tires blow out much more easily than other*. Outward appearance counts for little. It is the material in the tire and the construction of it that determines its strength. Goodyear recognizes these facts and* all Goodyear Tires are made of long staple cotton. Take the 30 x 3K Cross Rib Clincher Tire here illustrated, for example. It is made of Arizona cotton, the fibres of which average 1½ inches long. Many 30 z 3 ^ clincher tires are made of short staple cotton from H ^cb to I X inches long. This means less strength and greater danger of blow-outs—more tire troubles. Yet this high grade guaranteed Goodyear Tire costs only $10.95. You can buy some tires for even less than this but none with the fine materials and construction of this one. Can you afford to take a chance on more frequent tire troubles for the sake of the slightly lower price of cheaper tilts?

M. Mac LAC H LAN 10 Jefferson Avenue E. Detroit. Hlea. BOLAND, ALIAS GARDNER Copyright by The Wbetltr Syndlc.ua, Inc. WHEN Hyman and Bess, dealers in cloaks and suits an State street, Albany, N. Y., sent a check for $38.77 to Rels and Blum, garment manufacturers In New York city, they didn't have the slightest idea that they were starting a chain of evidence which would land one of the cleverest crooks In America behind the bars. A few days later, before the New York Arm had had time to report the nonarrival of the check and thus permit Hyman and Hess to look into the matter, a young man came into the National Commercial bank in Albany and presented a check for $380, made out to "Bearer." The date on the check, filled in with a rubber stump, corresponded to the day on which it was presented, and the man who handed it to the paying teller mentioned casually that the check "was to cover an option" and that he had to hurry back to New York in order to complete the transaction. The paying teller, feeling certain that the signature was genuine, cashed the check, and the man who had presented It walked out of the bank with $380 In his pocket. When Hyman and Hess had their ac* count balanced they found that they were exactly $380 short—for the original check had never reached its New York destination, but hud been lifted out of the mail box by one of a gang of clever criminals, the body of the check erased with an ink eradicator and the date and amount tilled in oil top of the original signature. "Only one man in the country could have done that and gotten away with it," growled George A. Fuller, assistant superintendent of the Plnkerton Detective agency, when the bunk called the details of the case to his attention "It's Boland's work!" "Yes, Roland," replied Fuller. "Or Gardner, as lie sometimes calls himself. He's got a regular organization for tliis sort of thing. Trains boys to loot the mail boxes, washes the checks with an acid preparation of his own invention, writes in a higher amount, makes them payable to 'Bearer,' and then another of his tools cashes them." "If you know so much about the man," asked the ama/.ed banker, "why hasn't he been arrested long before this'.-" "It's easy enough to arrest a man," was Fuller's reply, "but it is sometimes very difficult to convict him. So far as Hie actual check-raising goes, I'oland plays a lone hand. What's more, he pays his men well, and take:-, care of tlit'iu if they happen to get caught. So far, none of "em has turned state's e\ iiloiice, and until they do—or until we '•atch Boluiui red-handed — there's nothing to do bur be careful. We've got our eyes on him. He can't move without our knowing it. Warned by Hyman and Hess check j that the Boland outfit was once more conducting operations in New York state, the Pinkertnn man kept close watch on all persons suspected of belonging to the organizations, with the result that three men were arrested and sentenced to terms in prison. But all of them steadfastly refused to implicate the "man higher up." Finally Boland and three of his associates were arrested in Boston, after Fuller had shadowed a boy whom he suspected of robbing a mall box. Dano, the boy, and Devlne, another of the organization, drew short terms for petty larceny, but Boland escaped on account of a technicality, and moved to New York where he tried to continue his operations. But the New York police and particularly Commissioner George S. Dougherty, made things so difficult, that he was soon reduced to the expedient of securing checks wherever he could—a necessity which led to the fatal slip which Fuller had predicted. Out of the mall box of an up-town apartment house, one of Boland's apprentices secured a check for $50, made out to a real estate company in payment of the rental for one of the apartments. It was child's play for Boland to wash off the original parae and amount and to write in the words "Bearer" and "Two Hundred and Eleven Dollars." Once that was done, he had a perfectly good check (apparently) and he sent one of his men down to the bank on which the check was drawn, with minute Instructions as to the cashing of ft. But the cashier, being suspicious of a check of that size helng made out to "Bearer"—particularly as he knew that the woman whose signature appeared upon it was very careful In her financial dealings —declined to cash It, and Boland's man returned with a story of having been watched and therefore very fearful to approach the paying window. Boland, in a spirit of bravado, again altered the check, this time making it out In the name of "William HathM and set forth to cash the check himself, something which he had never before attempted. One glance at the odd amount—$211.—and the recollection that a check of similar size had been presented-that morning, payable to "Bearer." was enough to convince the paying teller that something wag wrong. The Plnkertons were Immediately notified and Boland was caught, red-handed.

He was discovered in a northbound elevated express, He had remained seated although a woman stood swaying on a strap In front of him. The train was standing at the Fullerton avenue station when he Jumped to his feet, apparently realizing suddenly that his destination had been reached, He started for the door. When the man unit Ids seat it was, logically, taken by the woman. Not for long, however, did she h < ^ it. A second later he was buck—wviously having spotted the station name through the open door. "Pardon me," he said, "that wasn't my station." And he allowed the woman to rise and give him the seat.—Chicago Journal.

When asked how he did it the mun replied: "Well, I always consider that the boss is right, even when he is wrong."—Howard (Kan.) Courant. Mutual Precaution. Girl's father (deliberately)—"Young man, are your Intentions serious?*1 Suitor (hesitatingly)—"Are-er-youn?** Health is Wealth Itself —and depends more upon the selection of proper food than upon anything else. The reason is simple—the right kind of food digests promptly and is absorbed into the blood for building sound tissue; while food that digests slowly may ferment and lead to serious conditions. Grape-Nuts — the delicious cereal food made from whole wheat flour and malted barleyis so easy to digest that even delicate people and young children thrive on it. This is only natural, because Grape-Nuts is baked for 20 hours, which transforms and partially pre-digests the starch elements, resulting in easy digestion and quick assimilation. Served with milk or cream Grape-Nuts is a complete food— and along with its nutritive qualities is that wonderful flavor! "There's a Reason"for G r a p e - N l l t S Sold by grocers everywhere!

TUTTLE SCORES SHERIFFS OFFICE JUDGE DENOUNCES WAYNE DEPUTIES CONVICTED AS BOOTLEGGERS. HEAVY SENTENCES ARE IMPOSED Two of the Deputy Sheriffs Given Four Y.ears in Penitentiary and $20,000 Kines. Detroit—In what court officials and attaches declared was the moBt scathing arraignment ever uttered from the bench of a federal court in Michigan, Judge Arthur J. Tuttle, in the United States court scourged three deputy sheriffs who had just been convicted by a jury of violating the prohibition law, and pilloried the sheriff's office of Wayne county as "crooked" and as an "obstructor of justice". "You men are so crooked that you are a disgrace to yourselves, to manhood and to Wayne county," Judge Tuttle told Deputy Sheriffs James Baker, William Parmenter and Max Corrigan *hen he called them before him for sentence. Then he pronounced sentence as follows: David Baker, four years in the federal penitentiary and $20,000 fine. William Parmenter, four years in the federal penitentiary and 120,000 fine. Max Corrigan, three years in the federal penitentiary and $3,000 fine. James Quick, four years in the federal penitentiary and $4,000 fine. Henry Rives, one year in the Detroit house of correction. Jess Flowers, agent for the rum runners, one year in the Detroit house of correction. Joseph Doffinos, nine months in the Detroit house of correction. The jury in reporting the conviction of Deputy Sheriffs Baker, Corrigan and Parmenter and of Flowers and Doffinos, acquitted Fred Ackley, formerly a deputy sheriff and now a constable in Wyandotte, and Henry Plovis, a farmer, on whose farm the liquor concerned in the case' was "cached"' for a time. Just before passing sentence on the three deputies, Judge Tuttle declared that he regarded it as peculiarly deplorable that "the very office that should hav# kicked you crooks out has, instead, rallied to your support while you have been on trial in this court, from the moment the trial opened until this moment." "I cannot conceive that anyone would believe you to be innocent, and it would be entirely consistent with the past conduct of the sheriff's office to permit you to continue as deputy sheriffs after you have been duly received at the federal penitentiary where I shall consign you when I get around to it." The crime for which Deputy Sheriffs Baker, Parmenter and Corrigan and Quick. Hives, Flowers and Doffinos were convicted, and Ackley and Plovis acquitted, took place May 27, 1920. Through testimony brought out in the three weeks of the trial, it was established that the seven convicted defendants had engaged with Alfred J. Woods, of Amherstburg, Canada, wealthy liquor dealer, to bring 1,600 quarts of whisky to the Detroit shore, to be sold at $90 a case.

STATE ACTS TO CLEAN UP TOWNS TROOPERS ORDERED TO ENP REIGN OF BOOTLEGGERS NEAR DETROIT. CORRUPT OFFICIALS MUST GO Governor Declares Local Police Who Failed to Enforce Laws Will Be Driven Out. Detroit—The threat that state troopers were on the way to the down river towns of Wyandotte, Ecorae, Ford, River Rouge and Lincoln Park to end the reign of bootlegers, blind piggers and other law-breakers proved sufficient to throw the customarily riotous blind pigs of those places into gloom early this week. Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck ordered the troopers to the territory where Sheriff Irving Coffin and the local police are said to have failed to control the situation, and the Governor gave orders that the troopers should determine responsibility for past laxness of law enforcement as well as to see to it that law is now enforced. Almost simultaneously with issuance of the governor's orders, Merlin Wiley, attorney general, announced that he had arranged with Governor G/oesbeck for a conference Sunday morning, at which the whole situation as to the tolerance in Wayne county of bootlegging on an organized commercial basis, and the alleged failure of numerous county enforcement officials to do their duty, will be gone forever. "I have been at my home in Sault Ste. Marie over the Fourth, and am not entirely in touch with the most recent developments in this deplorable -situation but I can say that I am in hearty accord with the governor's attitude, and I will say further that the governor means just what he says when he declares that the law must and shall be enforced," Mr. Wiley said. Then Attorney-General Wiley added: "There are more ways to enforce the law than one. It is not generally known, but it is a fact, that the governor of Michigan, under a law enacted In 1921, can remove any chief of police in the state." Governor Groesbeck said he had directed Colonel Vandercook to send "about 40" state police to do the law enforcing work in which, citizens of the down-river towns say, the proper officials thus far have utterjy failed. When asked what instructions he gave to Colonel Vandercook, the governor replied : "1 told him that the law must be enforced." Sending of the state police followed a long conference beween Governor Groesbeck and Prosecutor Voorhies and it was intimated that the governor's action was taken on the suggestion of the county prosecutor.

Who is he?" Following the arrival of certain letters, which were distinguished from most others arriving at the house by having no Ink writing on the envelope hut Just a sort of purple or block printing like newspapers, Alan Invariably received a dollar to spend Just as he liked. To be sure, unless "papa" took him to town, there was nothing for him to spend It upon; so, likely enough, tt went Into the square Iron bank, of which the key was lost; but quite often he did spend It according to plans agreed upon among all his friends and, In memory of these occasions and In anticipation of the next, "Alan's dollar" became a community Institution among the children. "Who gives It to you, Alan?" was a question more often asked, as time went on, The only answer Alan coul-d five was, "It comes from Chicago." The post-mark on the envelope, Alan noticed, was always Chicago; that waa all he ever could find out about bis dollar. He was about ten years old when, for a reason as inexplicable as the dollar's coming, the letters with the typewritten addresses and the enclosed money ceased. Except for the loss of the dollar at the end of every second month—a loss much discussed by all the children and not accepted as permanent till more than two years had passed— Alan felt no Immediate results from the cessation of the letters from Chicago. Papa and mama felt them when the farm had to be given up, and the family moved to the town, and papa went to wortc in the woolen mill beside the river. Papa and mama, at first surprised and dismayed by the stopping of the letters, still clung to the hope of the familiar, typewriter-addressed envelope appearing again; but when, after two years, no more money came, resentment which had seen steadily growing against the person who had sent the money began to turn against Alan; and his "parents* told him all they knew about him. In 1896 they had noticed an advertisement for persons to care for a child; they had answered It to the • f l e e ef the newspaper which printed I t In response to the letter a man called upon them and, after seeing t h e m and going around to see their friends, had made arrangements with th*m to take a boy of three, who was i& feod health and came of good people. H e paid In advance board for »\ year and agreed to send a certain fcflMtmt every two months after that tlmex The man brought the boy; whom he called Alan Conrad, and left him. Por seven years the money agreed upon c a m e ; now It had ceased, • a d papa had DO way of finding the nan*—the name given by him appeared to be tctltioua, and be had left no addjees except "general delivery, Chi etgo*—Papa knew nothing more than t h a t He bad advertised in the Chicago papers after the money stopped comiax, «nd be had communicated wtfb every oew named Conrad In or 'Cklette, but be had learned noth- Thna, at the age of thirteen, that what' he fact that be rhare eiae than i s the fflttst browa awuaa was ail that any eaa there caafcl tafl htaa; aad the ftnoerladfe gave paratataace to many Where did he belong? Who waa he? Who waa the man who had brought him there? Had the money ceased coming because the person who sent it was dead? In that case, connection of Alan with the place where he belonged was permanently broken. Or would some other communication from that source reach him some time—if not money, then something else? Would he be sent for some day? Externally, Alan's learning the little that was known about himself made no change in his way of living; he went to the town school, which combined grammar and high schools under one roof; and, as he grew older, he clerked in one of the town stores during vacations and in the evenings. Alan always carried his money home as part payment of those arrears which had mounted up against him since the letters ceased coming. At seventeen, having finished high school, he was clerking officially In Merrill's general store, when the next Tetter came. It was addressed this, time not to papa, but to Alan Conrad. He seized It, tore it open, and a bank draft for fifteen hundred dollars fell out. There was no letter with the enclosure, no word of communication; Just the draft to the order of Alan Conrad. Alan wrote the Chicago bank by which the draft had been Issued; their reply showed that the drRft had been purchased with currency, so there was no record of the identity of the person who had sent It. More than that amount was due for arrears for the seven years during which no money was sent, even when the total which Alan had earned was deducted. So Alan merely endorsed the draft over to "father"; and that fall Jim, Alan's foster brother, went to college. But, when Jim discovered that it not only was possible but planned at the university for a boy to work his way through, Alan went also. Four wonderful years followed. In companionship with educated people; Ideas and manners came to him which he could not have acquired at home: athletics straightened and added bearing to his muscular, well-formed body; his pleasant, strong young face acquired self-reliance and self-control. Life became filled with possibilities for himself which It had never held before. But on his day of graduation he had put away the enterprises he had planned and the dreams he dreamed and, conscious that his debt to father and mother still remained unpaid, he had returned to care for t h e m ; for father's health had failed and Jim, who had opened a law office In Kansas City, could do nothing to help. No more money had followed the draft from Chicago and there had been no communication of any kind; but the receipt of so considerable a sum had revived and Intensified all Alan's speculations about himself. The vague expectation of hlB childhood that sometime, In some way, he would be "sent for"; had grown during the last six years to a definite belief. And now—on the afternoon before— the summons had come. This time, as he tore open the envelope, he saw that beside a check, there was writing within—an uneven and nervous-looking but plainly legible communication In longhand. The letter made no explanation. It told htm, rather than asked him, to come to Chicago, gave minute instructions for the Journey, and advised him to telegraph when he started. The check was for a hundred dollars to pay his expenses. Check and letter were signed by a name completely strange to him. H e was a distinctly attractive looking lad, as he stood now on the station platform of the little town, while the eastbound train rumbled in, and he fingered in his pocket the letter from Chicago. On the train he took the letter from his pocket and for the dozenth time reread i t Was Covert a relative? Was he the man who had sent the remittances when Alan was a little boy, and the one who later had sent the fifteen hundred dollars? Or w a s he merely a go-between, perhaps a lawyer? There w a s no letterhead to give aid in these speculations. The address to which Alan was to come was In Astor street. He had never heard the name of the street before. Was It a business street, Corvet's address in some great office building, perhaps? At Chicago Alan, following the porter with his suitcase from the ear, stepped down among the crowds hurrying to and from the trains. He was not confused, he was only intensely excited. Acting in Implicit accord with the Instructions of the letter, which he knew by heart, he went to the uniformed attendant and engaged a taxi cab—Itself no small experience; there would be no one at the station to meet Mm. the letter had said. He gave the Astor street address and got Into the cab. Jt bad begun to snow heavily. Por a few blocks the taxicab drove north peat more or leas ordinary build* logs, then turned east on a broad boalevard where tall tile and brick end stone structures towered till their roofs were bidden in the snowfall. A *trang* stir and tingle, quite distinct frogs the excitement of the arrival at the station, pricked in Alan's veins, and hastily he dropped the window to his right and gazed o u t The lake, as he had known since his geography days, lay to the east of Chicago; therefore that void out there beyond the park was the lake or, at l e a s t the harbor. A different air seemed to come from i t ; sounds . . . Suddenly it all was shut off; the taxicab, swerving a little, was dashing between business blocks; a row of buildings had risen again upon the right; they broke abruptly to show him a woodenwalled chasm in which flowed the river full of ice with a tug dropping its smokestack as tt cut below the bridge which the cab crossed; buildings on both sides again; then, to the right a roaring, heaving crashing expanse. The sound, Alan knew, had been coming to him as an undertone for many minutes; now it overwhelmed, swallowed all other sound. It was great, not loud; all sound which Alan had heard b*fore, except the soughing cf the wind over his prairies, came from one point; even the monstrous city murmur was centered In comparison with this. Over the lake, as over the land, the soft snowflakes lazily floated down, scarcely stirred by the slightest breeze; that roar was the voice of the water, that awful power its own. Alan choked and gasped for breath, his pulses pounding in his throat; he had snatched off his hat and, leaning out of the window sucked the lake air in his lungs. There had been nothing to make him expect this overwhelming crush of feeling. The lake—he had thought of It, of course, as a great body of water, an Interesting sight for a prairie boy to see; that was all. No physical experience in all his memory had affected him like this; and it was without warning; the strange thing that had stirred within him as the car brought him to the Drive down-town was strengthened now a thousand-fold; it amazed, halffrightened, half dizzied him. Now, as the motor suddenly swung around a corner and shut the sight of the lake from him, Alan sat back breathless. The car swerved to the east cur* about the middle of the block and came to a stop. The house before which It had halted was a large stone house of quiet, good design; It was some generation older, apparently, than the houses OH each side of It, which were brick and terra cotta of recent fashionable architecture; Alan only glanced at them long enough to get that Impression before he opened the cab door and got out; but as the cab drove away, he stood beside his suitcase looking up at the old house which bore the number given In Benjamin Corvet's letter, then around at the other houses and back to that again. The neighborhood obviously precluded the probability of Corvet's being merely a lawyer—a go-between. He must be some relative; the question ever present in Alan's thought since the receipt of the letter, but held In abeyance, as to the possibility and nearness of Corvet's relation to him, took sharper and more exact form now than he had dared to let it take before, Was his relationship to On the Train He Took the Letter From Hia Pocket and for the Dozenth Time Reread I t Corvet perhaps, the closest of all relationships? Was Corvet his . . . father? He checked the question within himself, for the time had passed for mere speculation upon it now. Alan was trembling excitedly; for—whoever Corvet might be—the enigma of Alan's existence was going to be answered when he had entered that bouse. He was going to know who be was. All the possibilities, the responsibilities, the attachments, the opportunities, perhaps, of that person whom he waa—but whom, as y e t he did n't know—were before him. He went up the steps and, with angers excitedly unsteady, he pushed the bell beside the door. The door opened almost Instantly— so quickly after the ring, Indeed, that Alan, with leaping throb of his heart, knew that some one must have been awaiting him. But the door opened only half way, and the man who sto»d within, gazing out ut Alan questioningly, waa obviously a servant. "What 1B It?" he asked, as Alan stood looking at him and past nim to the narrow section of darkened hall which was in s i g h t Alan put his band over the letter in his pocket. "I've come to see Mr. Corvet," he said—"Mr. Benjamin Corvet." "What Is your name?" Alan gave his name; the man repeated it after him, in the manner of a trained servant, quite without Inflection. Alan, not familiar with such tones, waited uncertainly. So far as he could tell, the name wus entirely strange to the servant, awakening neither welcome nor opposition, but Indifference. The man stepped back, 'iut not in such a manner as to invite Alan In; on the contrary, he half closed the door as he stepped back, leaving it open only an inch or two; but It was enough so that Alan heard him say to some one within: "He says he's him." "Ask him In ; I will speak to him." It was a girl's voice—this second oi.\e, a voice such as Alan never had heard before. It was low and soft but quite clear and distinct, with youthful, impulsive modulations and the manner of accent which Alan knew must go with the sort of people who lived in houses like those on this street. The servant, obeying the voice, returned and opened wide the door. "Will you come in, sir?" Alan put down his suitcase on the, stone porch ; the man made no move to pick it up and bring It In. Then Alnn stepped into the hall face to face with the girl who had come from the big room on the right. She was quite a young girl—not over twenty-one or twenty-two, Alan judged; like girls brought up in wealthy families, she seemed to Alnn to have gnined young womanhood in far greater degree In some respects than the girls he knew, while, at the same time, in othec ways, she retained more than they some characteristic* of a child. Her slender figure had a woman's assurance and grace; her soft brown hair was dressed like a woman's; her gray eyes had the open directness of the girl. Her face— smoothly oval, with straight brows and a skin so delicate that at the temples the veins showed dimly blue— was at once womanly and youthful; and there was something altogether likable and simple about her, as she studied Alan now. She was slightly pale, he noticed, and there were lines of strain and trouble about her eyes. "I am Constance Sherrlll," she announced. Her tone implied quite evidently that she expected him to have some knowledge of her, and she seemed surprised to see that her name did not mean mojrje to him, "Mr. Corvet is not here this morning," she said. He hesitated, but persisted : "I was to see him here today, Miss Sherrlll. He wrote me, and I telegraphed him I would be here to-day." MI know," she answered. "We had your telegram. Mr. Corvet was not here when It came, so my father opened It." Her voice broke oddly, and be s i d l e d her In Indecision, wondering who that father might be that opened Mr. Corvet's telegrams. "Mr. Corvet went away very suddenly," she explained. She seemed, he thought, to be trying to make something plain to him which might be a shock to him; yet herself to be uncertain what the nature of that shock might be. Her look was scrutinizing, questioning, anxious, but not unfriendly. "After he had written you and something else had happened*- I think—to alarm my father about him, father came here to his house to look after him. He thought something might have . . . happened to Mr. Corvet here In his house. But Mr. Corvet was not here." "You mean he has—disappeared?" "Yes; he has disappeared.'* Alan gazed at her dizzily. Beajamln Corvet—whoever he might be— had disappeared; he had gone. Did any one else, then, know about Alan Conrad? j "No one has seen Mr. Corvet," she ; said, "since the day he wrote to f you. We knew that—that he became ; so disturbed after doing that—writing '• to you—that we thought you must \ bring with you Information of him." "Information !" "So we have been waiting for you to come here and tell us what you know about him or—or your connection with him.H swer her; for she JH >M inspect thai he was unable to answer i«r. "You would rather explain to father than to me," she decided. He hesitated. What he wanted now was time to think, te learn who she waa and who her father waa, and te adjust himself to this strange reversal of his expectations. "Yes; I would rather do t h a t " he said. She caught up her fur collar and muff from a chair and spoke a word to the servant As she went out on to the porch, ke followed her and stooped to pick up his suitcase. "Simmons will bring that," she said, "unless you'd rather have It with you. It is only a short walk." They turned In at the entrance of a house In the middle of the block and went up the low, wide stone steps; the door opened to them without ring or knock; a servant in the hall within took Alan's hat and coat, and he followed Constance past some great room upon his right to a smaller one farther down the hall. "Will you wait here, please?" she u«ked. He sat down, and she left him; when her footsteps had died away, and he could hear no other sounds except CHAPTER III DI ecu sal on of • Shadow Alan, as he looked confusedly and blankly at her, made no attempt to answer the question she had asked, or to explain.

"We weren't sure trom you* telegram exactly at what hour you would arrive, and that was why 1 wuited at Mr. Corvet's to be sure w | wouldn't miss you.

"You told me you had been waiting for me to come and explalD my connection with Mr. Corvet. Well—) can't do that ; that is what I cam* here hoping to find out" She came back toward him slowly. "What do you mean?" she asked. He fought down and controlled resolutely the excitement In his voice, as he told her rapidly the Mttle he knew about himself. He could not tell definitely hew sh« was affected by what he said. She flushed slightly, following bar first start of surprise after he had begun to speak; when he had finished, he saw that she was a little pale. "Then you don't know anjrthlni about Mr. Corvet at all," she said. "No; until I got Ms letter sending for me here, I'd never seen or beard his name." She was though tfrl! for a moment "Thank you for telling me," she said "I'll tel! my father wben ha comes." "Your father Is—r* he ventured. She understood now that the nama of Sherrlll had meant nothing to him "Father is Mr. Corvet's closest friend, and his business partner as well," ahe explained. He thought she was going to tell him something more about them; bwA she seemed to decide to leave that fot her father to do. She crossed to the big chair beside the grate and seated herself.

RIOT BREAKS OUT AT SAGINAW Non-Union Workers Seized by Strikers and Ordered to Leave Town— State Troops To Keep Order. Chicago—A strike call to the 8,000 stationary engineers, firemen and oilers employed on railroads throughout the United States was issued last Friday by Timothy Healy, international president of the organization. The strike was to become effective Monday, July 17. The call was made in compliance with the recent referendum which favored a walkouL Mr. Healy Baid. Fresh outbreaks of violence, notably in Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri; President Harding's determined steps to keep the mails moving, and informal negotiations for a settlement of the shopmen's strike on 17 rouds in the Northwest were among other important development of the last week. Pressure by many of his general chairmen upon E. F. Grable, president or the Maintenance of Way Employes pushed the common labor problem to the front again. Mr. Grable'a action In withholding strike orders after the men voted to join the walkout, did not please many of the organization's general chairmen, who passed on to their chief the persistent demands of the rank and file for concerted action. • AIRPLANE SERVICE IS • • INAUGURATED BETWEEN • • DETROIT AND CLEVELAND • Strikers Storm Saginaw 8 ho pa.

Watertown, N. Y.—Eight children, ranging in age from 11 to 16 years were blown to pieces last week by the explosion of a 75 millimetre shell on the back porch of a house occupied by Edward G. Workman and William L. Salisbury. The shell, which was owned by Mr. Workman, was one which he had kept as a Bouvenir and used on the rear porch to hold the door from closing. It was believed to be "dead." The children were playing croquet in the backyard. The shell is believed to have either been set off by the hot sun or to have been struck by one of the victims with a croquet mallet. The bodies of the children were found apparently at places near where they had been standing in their croquet game. Near them lay fragments of the croquet mallets. Several of the balls used in the game were blown to bits and the wickets were torn from the ground. The shall apparently let go without warning. Two carpenters working on a house next door to the Workman home said that a second before the detonation they had heard the voices of the children laughing at play. The two men were the first to reach the scene. MAY ARBITRATE COAL STRIKE Operators Express Willingness to Abide by Federal Verdict. SEEK TO CURB STANDARD OIL Federal Trade Commission Charges Unfair Practices. Washington—Urging congress to enact new legislation to destroy an alleged Standard Oil monopoly in the gasoline trade, the federal trade commission charged the corporation was "perpetuating the very monopolistic control which the United States supreme court sought to terminate." The commission, in a sensational report to congress, declared retailers in the Rocky Mountain regions were making from five to 10 cents a gallon clear profit on gasoline This condition, the commission charged, was due to tUe fact that the oil trade Is practically monopolized by Standard Oil interests. Conditions in other sections of the country were the same as in the Rocky Mountain region, the commission said.

Washington—The first break In the deadlocked coal conference came last week with the acceptance by the anthracite operators of the proposal of President Harding to submit their quarrel with the United Mine Workers to federal arbitration. The operators asserted they had two ends in view during their heretofore fruitless negotiations with the miners to bring an end to the tie-up in the anthracite fields of Pennsylvania. These were: First, an agreement on a wage scale which, while adequate, should at the same time afford the steady employment which the anthracite mine workers have enjoyed In the past and which only regular demand for the product can assure. Second, that any agr€lment reached should be durable and at the same time provide reasonable means of wage adjustment from time to time to meet the changing economic conditions of the country. The operators told the president they were willing to "abide with reservation or qualification by the findings of the commission" appointed by the president to adjust thej present dispute.

Before the war it took 10 copecks to send a letter from Russia to the United States and now by counting the stamps on this letter, it is found that it cost 17,500,000 copecks. The stamps were of the ruble denomination. The pre-war value of a ruble was 61 cents and a copeck one-half of 1 cent Washington — President Harding's plan for arbitration of the nationwide mine strike was rejected unanimously by the United Mine Workers here. The policy committee ol the organization, after a long and stormy session, decided it would be impossible for the miners to accept President Harding's proposal unless it was modified greatly. There is an air of tenseness and concern in official circles here and the trend of developments seems to be toward a crisis in which the president would be forced to take his threatened drastic action of seizing and operating the mines and the railroads. Federal troops still are being held in readiness for instant dispatch to mine or rail centers when violence cannot be controlled by local or state authorities breaks out. The president, in a statement Saturday night on the miners' refusal to arbitrate, indicated that his next move would be announced early thiB week, after the reply of the bituminous operators to his proposal is received. His plan has been been accepted in principle, by the anthracite operators. ' Railroads Use Strikebreakers. Chicago—With peace negotiations instituted by Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the United States railroad labor board, virtually at a standstill, the carriers have made no effort to conceal the fact they are now out to break the strike—to break it in regulation fashion, with strikebreakers. Meanwhile, both railway officials and strike leaders eagerly awaited any indication as to which way the 400,000 maintenance of way men will Jump. This anxiety grew out of reports that, in defiance of the peace program to which their international brotherhood officers are committed, the trackmen would Join the strike, ELOPING PASTOR TO BE TRIED Rev W.

Corvet'a letter summons Conrad, a youth of unknown parentage, to Chicago. Alan arrlvea in Chicago. CHAPTER III—Continued. She, he saw, was listening, like himself, for the sound of SherrUl's arrival at the house; and when It came she recognized It first, rose, and excused herself. He heard her voice In the hall, then her father's deeper voice which answered; and ten minutes later, he looked up to see the man these things had told him must be Sherrill standing in the door and looking at him. Alan had arisen at tight of him; iherrill, as he came in, motioned him back to his seat; he did not sit down himself, but crossed to the mantel and leaned against It "I am Lawrence SherrlU," he said. As the tall, graceful, thoughtful man stood looking down at him, Alan could tell nothing of the attitude of this friend of Benjamin Corvet toward himself. His manner had the same reserve toward Alan, the same questioning consideration of him, that Constance Sherrill had had after Alan had told her about himself. "My daughter has repeated to me what you told her, Mr. Conrad," SherrlU observed. "Is there anything you want to add to me regarding that?" "There's nothing I can add," Alan answered. "I told her all that I know about myself.M "And about Mr. CorvefT "I know nothing at all about Mr. Corvet" "I am going to tell you some things about Mr. Corvet," Sherrill said. "I had reason—I do not want to explain Just yet what that reason was—for thinking you could teU us certain things about Mr. Corvet, which would, perhaps, make plainer what has happened to him. When I tell you about him now, It is in the hope that In that way, I may awake some forgotten memory of him in you; If not that, you may discover some coincidence of dates or events In Cwvet's life with dates or events in your uwn. Will you tell me frankly, If you do discover anything like t h a t r "Yes; certainly." For several moments, Sherrill paced •p and down before the fire; then he returned to his place before the mantel. MI first met Benjamin Corvet'* he commenced, "nearly thirty years ago. X had come West for the first time die year before; I was about your own age and had been graduated from college only a short time, and a business opening had offered* Itself here. Times were booming on the Great Lakes. Chicago, which had more than recovered from the fire, was doubling Its population every decade; Cleveland, Duluth, and Milwaukee were leaping up as ports. Men were growing millions of bushels of grain which they couldn't ship except by lake; hundreds of thousands of tons of ore had to go by water; and there were tans of millions of feet of pine and hardwood from the Michigan forests. Sailing vessels, it is true, had seen thslr day and ware disappearing from the lakes; were being 'sold,' many of them, as the saying Is, *to the Insurance companies' by deliberate wrecking. Stsamers were taking their place. Towing had come In. I felt, young man though I was, that this transportation matter was all one thing, and that in the end the railroads would own the ships. I have never engaged very actively in the operation of the ships; my daughter would like me to be more active In It than I have been; but ever since, I have had money in lake vessels. It was the year that X began that sort of investment that I first met Corvet" Alan looked up quickly. "Mr. Corvet was—T' he asked. "Corvet was—Is a lakeman," SherrlU said Alan sat motionless, as he recollected the strange exaltation that had come to him when be saw the lake for the first time. Should he tell Sherrill of that? He decided It was too vague, too indefinite to be mentioned; no doubt any other man used only to the prairie might have felt the "He was a shipowner, then," he "Tee; he tra* a shipowner—net, however, on a large scale at that time. Be had been a master, sailing ships which belongs*] to others; then he had sailed one etf his own. He was operating then, I believe, two vessels; hot with the boetn times oa the lakes, his interests were beginning to expand. I met him frequently in the next few years, and we became close friends." SherrlU broke off and stared an instant down at the rug. Alan bent forward; he made no Interruption but only watched Sherrill attentively. "Between 1886, when I first met him, and 1896, Corvet laid the foundation of great success; his boats seemed lucky, men liked to work for him, and he got the best skippers and crews. There was a saying that In storm a Corvet ship never asked help; It gave It; certainly in twenty years no Corvet ship had suffered serious disaster. Corvet was not yet rich, but unless accident or undue competition intervened, he was certain to become so. Then something happened." Sherrill looked sway at evident loss how to describe i t "To the ships?" Alan asked him. "No; to him. In 1896, for no apparent reason, a great change, came over him." "In 1896!" "That was the year." Alan bent forward, his heart throbbing in his throat "That was also the year when I was brought and left with the Weltons in Kansas," he said. Sherrill did not speak for a moment. "I thought," he said finally, "It must have been about that time; but you did not tell my daughter the exact date." "What kind of change came over him that year?" Alan asked. Sherrill gazed down at the rug, then at Alan, then past him. "A change in his way of living," he replied. "The Corvet line of boats went on, expanded; Interests were acquired In other lines; and Corvet and those allied with him swiftiy grew rich. But In all this great development for which Corvet'a genius and ability had laid the foundation, Corvet himself ceased to take active part. He took Into partnership, about a year later, Henry Spearman, a young man who had been merely a mate on one of his ships. This proved subsequently to have been a good business move, for Spearman had tremendous energy, daring, and enterprise; and no doubt Corvet had recognized these qualities in him before others did. Since then he has been ostensibly and publicly the head of the concern, but he has left tne management almost entirely to Spearman. The personal change to Corvet at that time Is harder for me to describe to you." Sherrill halted, his eyes dark with thought his lips pressed closely together ; Alan waited. "When I saw Corvet again, in the summer of '96—1 had been South during the latter part of the winter and East through the spring—I was impressed by the vague but to me, alarming change in him. I was reminded, I recall, of a friend I\had had In.college who had thought he was In perfect health and had gone to an examiner for life insurance and had been refused, and was trying to deny to himself and others that anything could be the matter. But with Corvet I knew the trouble was not physical. The next year his wife left him." "The year of— T Alan asked. "That was 189^. There was no question of their understanding and affection up to the very time she so "That Was 1897." strangely left him. She died in France la the spring of 1910, and Corvet's first Information, of her death come to him through a paragraph In a newspaper." Alan had started; Sherrill looked at him questlonlngly. "The iprinf of 1810," Alan explained, "was when I received the bank draft for fifteen /hundred dollars." x Sherrill nodded; he did not seem surprised to hear this; rather It appeared to be confirmation of something In his own thought "Following his wife's leaving him." Sherrill went on, "Corvet saw very little of any one. He spent most of his time In his own house; occasionally he lunched at hia club, at rare intervals, and always unexpectedly, he appeared at his office. I remember that summer he was terribly disturbed because one of his ships was lost The Corvet record was broken; a Corvet ship had appealed for help; a Corvet vessel had not reached port. . . . And later in the fall, when two deckhands were washed from another of his vessels and drowned, he was again greatly wrought up, though his ships still had a most favorable record. In 1902 I proposed to him that I buy full ownership in the vessels I partly controlled and ally them with those he and Spearman operated. Since then, the firm name has been Corvet, Sherrill, and Spearman. "Our friendship had strengthened and ripened during those'years. The intense activity of Corvet's mind, which as a younger man he had directed wholly to the shipping, was directed, after be had isolated himself in this way, to other things. He took up almost feverishly an Immense number of studies—strange studies most of them for a man whose youth had been almost violently active and who had once been a lake captain. I cannot tell you what they all were— geology, ethnology, nearly a score of subjects; he corresponded with various scientific societies; he has given almost the whole of his attention to such things for about twenty years. But he has made very few acquaintances in that time, and has kept almost none of his old friendships. He has lived alone In the house on Astor street with only one servant— the same one all these years. "The only house he has visited with any frequency has been mine. He has always liked my wife; he had—he has a great affection for my daughter, who, when she was a child, ran in and out of his home as she pleased. My daughter believes now that his present disappearance—whatever has happened to him—is connected in some way with herself. I do not think that is so—" Sherrill broke off and stood In thought for a moment; ne seemed to consider, and to decide that It was not necessary to say anything more on that subject "Is there anything In what I have told you which makes It possible for you to recollect or to explain?" Alan shook his head, flushed, and then grew a little pale. What Sherrill told him had excited him by the coincidences it offered between events in Benjamin Corvet's life and his own; it had not made him "recollect" Corvet, but It had given deflniteness and direction to his speculations as to Corvet's relation to himself. Sherrill drew one of the large chairs nearer to Alan and sat down facing him. He felt in an inner pocket and rought nut an envelope; from the envelope he took three pictures, and handed the smallest of them to Alan. As Alan took i t he saw that it was a tintype of himself as a round-faced boy of seven. "That is y o u r Sherrill asked. "Yea; It was taken by the photographer In Blue Rapids." "And this?" The second picture, Alan saw, was one that had been taken in front of the barn at the farm. It showed Alan at twelve, in overalls and barefooted, holding a stick over his head at which a shepherd dog was jumping. "Yes, that is Shep and L Mr. Sherrill. It was taken by a man who stopped at the house for dinner one day; he liked Shep and wanted a picture of him; so he got me to make Shep jump, and he took i t " "Doesn't It occur to you that It was your picture he wanted, and that he had been sent to get it? I wanted your verification that these earlier pictures were of you, but this last one is easily recognizable." Sherrill unfolded the third picture; it was larger than the others and had been folded across the middle to get it into the envelope. Alan leaned forward to look at i t "That is the University of Kansas football team," he said. "I am the second one In the front row; I played end my Junior year and tackle when I was a senior. Mr. Corvet—?" "Yes; Mr. Corvet had these! pictures. They came into my possession day before yesterday, the day aft$r Corvet disappeared; I do not want:J© tell Just yet how they did that." , Alan's face, which had been flushed at first with excitement had gone quite pale, and his hnnds, as he clenched and unclenched them nervously, were cold, and his lips were very dry. He could think of no possible relationship between Benjamin Corvet and himself, except one, which could account for Corvet's obtaining and keeping these pictures of him through the years. '1 think yon know who I am * Alan said. T o n have guessed. If I am not mistaken, that yon are Corvefs son." • The color flamed to Alan's face for an Instant then left It paler than before. "I thought it must be that way." he answered; "but yon said he had no children." "Benjamin Corvet and his wife had no children." T thought that was what you meant" A twinge twisted Alan's face; he tried to control it but for a moment could not • "Do not misapprehend your father," Sherrill said quietly. "1 cannot prevent what other people may think when they learn this; but I do not share such thoughts with them. There is much in this 1 cannot- understand; hut I know that it is not mereiy the result of what others may think It— of *a wife in more ports than one,' as you will hear the lakemen put It. What lies under this is some great misadventure which had changed and frustrated all your father's life." Sherrill crossed the room and rang for a servant. "I am going to ask you to be my guest for a short time, Alan," he announced. "I have had your hag carried to your room; the man will show you which one It is." Alan hesitated ; he felt that Sherrill had not told him all he knew—that there were some things Sherrill purposely was withholding from him; but he could not force Sherrill to tell more than he wished ; so after an instant's irresolution, he accepted the dismissal. Sherrill walked with him to the door, and gave his directions to the servant; he stood watching, as Alan and the man went up the stairs. Then he went back and seated himself In the chair Alan had occupied, and sat with hands grasping the arms of the chair while he Btared into the fire. He seemed to be considering and debating something within himself; and presently he seemed to come to a de- 1 of course, had a key to the front doe* like this one, nls servant has a key to the servants' entrance. I do not know of any other keys." "The servant is in charge there uow?" Alan asked. "Just now there is no one In the house. The servant after your father disappeared, thought thut, if he hud merely gone away, he might have gone back to his birthplace neur Maxilstlque, and he went up there to look for hUn. 1 had a wire from him today that he had not found him and was coining back." Sherrill waited a moment to see whether there was uny thing more Alan wanted to ask ; then lie went out "For Almost Twenty Years," He Said, "Your Father, as I Have Told You, Lived In That House Practically Alone." cislon. He went up the stalre and on the second floor he went to a front room and knocked. Alan's voice told him to come in. Sherrill went in and, when he had made sure thut the servant was not with Alan, he closed the door carefully behind him. Then he turned back to Alan, and for an Instant stood Indecisive as though he did not know how to begin what he wanted to say. As he glanced down at a key he took from his pocket, his indecision seemed to receive direction and Inspiration from It; and he put it down on Alan's dresser. "I've brought you," he said evenly, "the key to your house." Alan gazed at him, bewildered. "The key to my house?" "To the house on Astor street," Sherrill confirmed. "Your father deeded the house and its furniture and all Its contents to you the day before he disappeared. I have not the deed here; it came Into my hands the day before yesterday at the same time I got possession of the pictures which might—or might not for all I knew then—be you. I have the deed downtown and will give It to you. The house is yours in fee simple, given you by your father, not bequeathed to you by him to become your property after his death. He meant by that, I think, even more than the mere acknowledgment that he is your father." Sherrill walked to the window and stood as though looking out but his eyes were blank with thought "For almost twenty years," he said, "your father, as I have told you, lived in that house practically alone; during all those years a shadow of some sort was over him. I don't know at all, Alan, what that shadow was. But it is certain that whatever it was that had changed him from the man he was when I first knew him culminated three days ago when he wrote to you. It may be that the consequences of his writing to you were such that, after he had sent the letter, he could not bring himself to face them and so has merely . . . gone away. In that case, as we stand here talking, he Is still alive. On the other hand, his writing you may have precipitated something that I know nothing of. In either case, If he has left anywhere any evidence of what it Is that changed and oppressed him for all these years, or If there Is any evidence of what has happened to Mm now, it will be found in his house." Sherrill turned back to Alan. "It Is for yon—not me, Alan," he said simply, "to make that search. I have thought seriously about It this last half hour, and have decided that Is as be would want It—perhaps as he did want It— to be. He could have told me what hit trouble was any time In these twenty years. If he had been willing I should know; but he never did. Your father, C H A P T E R I V . "Arrived Safe; W e l l . " As the door closed behind Sherrill, Alun went over to the dresser and picked up the key which Sherrill had left. He put it, after a moment, on the ring with two or three uther keys he luid, and dropped them into hit pocket; then he crossed to a chair and sut down. Sherrill had spoken of the posslbll ity thut something might have "happened" <© Corvet; but it was plain ha did not believe he had met with actual violence. He had left it to Alan to examine Corvet's house; but he had no* urged Alan to examine it at once; he had left the time of the examination to be determined by Alan. Thii showed clearly that Sherrill believed —perhaps had sufficient reason for be lievlng—that Corvet had slinply "gone away." Corvet, Sherrill bad said, nsd married in 1889. But Sherrill in long knowledge of his friend, had ^OWB Arm conviction that there had been no mere vulgar liaison In Corvet's life. Did this mean that there might have been some previous marriage of Alun f father—some marriage wHich had strangely overlapped and nullified hit public marriage? In that case. Alaju could be, not only in fact but legally, Corvet's son; and such things as this, Alan knew, had sometimes huppened, and had happened by a strange combination of events, Innocently for all parties. Corvet's public separation from his wife, Sherrill had said, had taken place in 1897, but the actual separation between them might, possibly, have taken place ldng before that. The afternoon had changed swiftly into night; dusk had been gathering during his last talk with Sherrill, so that he hardly had been able to ses Sherrill's face, and just after Sberrlll had left him, full dark had come, alao did not know how long he had teen sitting in the darkness thinking out these things; but now a little doer which hud been ticking steadily In the blackness tinkled six. Alan heard * knock at his door, and when it was repeated, he called. "Come In." The light which came In from the" hall, as the door was opened, showed a man servant. The man, after a respectful inquiry, switched on the light He crossed Into the adjoining room— a bedroom ; the room where Alan was, he thought, must be a dressing roora, and there was a bath between. Prese n t l y the man reappeared, and moved ' softly about the room, unpacking I Alan's suitcase. He hung Alan's other 'suit In the closet on hangers; he put ' the linen, except for one shirt, in ths I dresser drawers, and he put Alan's few toilet things with the ivorybacked brushes and comb and other i articles on the dressing stand. Alan wondered, with s sort of trepV dation, whether the man would expect to stay and help him drew; k*t be only put the buttous in the cleaa efetH 1 and reopened the dresser drawees in* laid out a change of things. "I was to tell you, sir, Mr. SherrU! is sorry he cannot be at home to dinner tonight. Mrs. Sherrill and Miss Sherrill will be here. Dinner Is at seven, sir." Alan dressed slowly, after the mas had gone; and at one minute before seven be went downstairs. There was no one In the lower hall and, after an Instant of Irresolution and a glance into the empty drawing room, he turned into the small room at the opposite side of the hall. A handsome, stately, rather large woman, whom he found there, Introduced herself to him formally as Mrs. Sher« rill. Her reserved, yet almost toe casual acceptance of Alan's presence, told him that she knew ail the particulars about himself which SherrlU \ had been able to give; and *s Con- Stance came down the stairs and Joined them half a minute later, Alas was certain that she also knew. Dinner was announced, and the} went Into the great dining roora where the table with Its linen, silver, and china gleamed under shaded lights. The oldest and most dlgnifine" of the three men servants who waited upon them In the dining room Alun thought must be a butler—a species of creature of whom Alan had heard bul never had seen ; the other servants, at lenst, received and handed things through him, and took their order! fror* him.

The reduction means general admission to the exposition, now under the Jurisdiction of the state of Michigan, will be fifty cents this year, compared to seventyjdve cenfFaSj^ar ago.

In the excitement °f the moment, the loss may not be keenly felt, but as the years ride by in their swift chariots, lines mark the face and strands of silver streak the hair, There comes to the loser an inexpressible sense of loneliness which sharply reminds him or her of the glorious sun that has set behind the purple hills. A friendship which multiplied Joys and divided sorrows is gone forever. As you repeat this word "gone" In the night when you are alone, and again in the morning and at rntervals through the day, it comes upon you with a new*and terrible meaning.

(Copyright by Will U Maupln.) of will, you find In your grief that you cannot do It. Pride scores as dictator. Like a beggar you sup on its dry crusts, and go to bed night after night with an ache In your heart and a sting in your conscience. Yet you keep going crookedly about the byways and highways of life and continue year after year the ragged practice of unbending your neck or curving your lips with a friendly smile. It no longer matters so much how your behavior appears to the glaring eyes of the world, so you persist stubbornly to air your pride and flout it in public places, dropping daily a little lower from the high ideals so sacred To you in the peaceful, hallowed days of friendship. In the background of every picture depicting human unhapplness you will find an ugly blur of color quite at variance with the rules of harmony, caused by a slip of the tongue or a spurt of passionate anger between two persons, communities or nations. If you will study the blur intently, you will find that it is the evil thing that destroys pt-uce and strews battlefields with rivulets of blood. If you have a true friend, give him or her the best of which pure friendship is capable of giving; or If you have quarreled, break the truce and heaven will bless you!

I M f f r r r r r f - - r - - - - — THE RAIN CLOUDS A 1'L, the Bain Clouds, big and * ^ small, were hiding on top of u mountain and in the big hollows in its side. Down on the ground every flower and plant and growing thing was crying for water, and old Mother Earth was beside herself with grief over the suffering of her children. "They all will die," she moaned. "and I -cannot do a thing to help theiy. Even the tall trees are heavy with dust. Oh. where are the Rain Clouds, and why do they not do their work and save my children?" The little brooks and streams had done all they could to help, but even they were almost dry, and In her despulr Mother Earth caught a Warm Breeze floating by and asked it if it knew where the Rain Clouds were and why they did not eorae where they were so much needed. Warns Breeze said he did not know but that he would ask Tree Top If he could get high enough, but that he had little strength left himself, the earth was so warm. Somehow Warm Breeze did manage tc get a message to Tree Tops and they sent back word that the Rain Clouds were hiding on the mountain und around it. Then along came Brisk Breeze, who was passing on his way home, and Mother Earth begged hirn to tell the Rain Clouds to hurry or her children would perish. But the bad nain Clouds, when Brisk Breeze gave them Mother Earth's message, just run off high up in the sky saying they were not going to work; they were going sailing. Brisk Breeze was a friend to Mother Earth, however, and he flew $r. 4+**m*0*4+*+*f** Constance Binney while all the time Mr. Thunder scoldeu.

My. how those rain clouds did cry! , They cried so hard and so long that their fasf falling tears made puddles and pools alt over the ground, but Mother Earth did not care; she Just made places to catch the falling drops, and when the little brooks and el reams ran over she told them, "Never mind, ,ny dears, we can use It all. I am so thirsty I can drink every bit of it before morning." And she did, for the next morning everything was bright and fresh and Mother Earth and all her children were no longer thirsty. The Rain Clouds were all afraid of Mr. Thunder and his sister, hot tempered Miss Lightning, after that, and now when they hear him scolding they are pretty sure to come running and begin their work, for they know how angry he can he when they fail to give Mother Earth and her children water when they are thirsty. t© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

For what is the use of onr wonderful modern civilization if we don> take advantage of all its conveniences? And that is Just what the telephone Is—a convenience. Yet for the sake of saving five or ten or twenty cents, sometimes, some of us ignore the existence of the telephone, and cause thereby untold worry to our family and our friends. For Instance, you have told your family that you will be home at four o'clock to take a little motor trip before dinner. You are delayed at the oflice, and know you won't be able to get home until seven. Telephone them, and put their minds at rest about the change of your plans. Or you are delayed by a block on the subway or street car line on the way lo a friend's "house for a luncheon en gagement. Telephone her, Instead of arriving three-quarters of an hour late, full of apologies. Or perhaps you take a taxi to the station to catch a train to a friend's house for a week-end visit. The taxi is caught In a traffic Jam and you miss the train. Telephone, so that the friend who is expecting you won't wait anxiously for your tniln to arrive. It is a far better thing to use the telephone to explain away worries and doubts and misunderstandings than to use it as a means of disseminating neighborhood gossip.

The Latin adjective clarus. meaning bright or famous, is of course responsible for both names. but where Clare followed the English j m t n e 0 j d rhyme and French, Clarice is the product of Italy. The old Latin feminine of words ending jn "or" to signify the doer, was "Ix:'; In modem Italian this becomes "Ice." Clarice, therefore, was the feminine name so evolved and meant "to make famous." It proved I popular throughout Italy, Its famous bearer probably being the wife of Lorenzo de Medici. Tbewgh France already had a Claire, She adopt«1 Clarice, giving a soft **ss" fcxmd to the "c."

" V I L L A I N " HISTORY, which has a habit of repeating Itself, runs true to form In a number of words, as may be seen by the <!; comparison of the changes un- * dergone by "pagan" and "villain." The former, as we have seen, first meant a dweller In a village (pngus), then a heathen villager and then a heathen. Similarly, "villain" was originally applied to the serf or peasant, known as "villanus" because he was attached to the villa or farm. In this sense it had no opprobrious meaning whatever, being practically a synonym for our word "countryman" or "rustic." Then, because it was taken for granted that the peasant would be churlish, selfish, dishonest, and generally of evil moral conditions—referring, of course, only to the peasants of other days—the word began to take on these secondary characteristics, and. at the third $ step, nothing of the meaning which the etymology suggests J survives. The peasant Is en I tirely lost, and the evil moral £ * conditions of him who Is called * by this name alone remain, for, in its final stage, the epithet may be as freely applied to the peer as to the pauper. In fact, thanks to popular fiction and the even more popular screen, the current visualization of a villain Is that of a well-dressed, black-mustached, cigarette-smoking person, bred within the morally cramped confines of the big city rather than raised in the theoretically pure atmosphere of the farm. Thus do words swing around until their meaning points in a direction precisely opposite to that in which they started. <© by the Wheelrr Syndicate, Inc.) ¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢^¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢¢,¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾¾ I: WHY 6 0 * .

" W h a t have you to say to the White F a t h e r for such a beautiful gift?" uaked the post trader in presenting it to the Shoshone chief. The chief w a s silent for a moment and then ii* a voice shaken with emotion he s a i d : "When the white man gives thanks, he has plenty tongue hut no heart ; when Washakie gives thanks he. h a s plenty heart but no tongue. T h e heart h a s no tongue." Washakie w a s born.in the beautiful Wind river country In Wyoming about ten years before L"wls and Clark visited the Shoshone, l i e became noted for his friendship fwr t h e whites and his deeds as a warrior against enemy tribes. Once In his old a g e some of the younger warriors began talking of deposing him. Washakie disappeared from camp and two months later on the night t h e council was to meet to take action on the chieftainship, he suddenly apiieared witn six scalps of their tribal enemies, the Rlackfeet. Throwing them at the feet of his warriors, the c' ' ' • "Lot him who can chief.' I h e r e wu.a uo u,^^ ••! deposing him. At another time Washakie's son, smarting under the wrongs of a dishonest trader, led a war party to avenge himself on Innocent settlers. Washakie, mindful of Ins promise always to live at pence with the white men, sent this message to his s o n : "Unless you and your young men a r e back on the reservation by sunrise, you will never return." The war party kept on. Washakie gathered his warriors and pursued. Not one member of that war party ever returned. During the war with the Sioux In 1870, although Washakie was then more than seventy years old. he led Ids warriors to aid (ieneral ('rook a s scouts. In battles the old chief w a s always In the thick of the fighting. Waslmkie died February Li 1. 11MH), and was buried with full military honors in the cemetery at Fort Washakie, Wyo, He gave a warrior heritage to his children and one of his grandsons died In the uniform <>f the United States army during the war TV-ith Germany.

Realizing the uselessness of resistance, he resolved to find refuge In Canada. Encuml*?red with women and children and having a fighting force that never exceeded 300 warr i o r s ; with an army In front of him, another behind him and a third on his flank he began the flight. H e fought eleven engagements, five of them pitched battles of which he lost but one. In the other six skirmishes he eluded pursuers, killed 12d and wounded 140 of the 2,000 soldiers who fought him, hut he lost lDl killed^ and 88 wounded of his own people. His military skill won the unstinted praise of his adversaries. After successfully conducting this retreat over 2,000 miles of the roughest country in North America he stopped to rest. Fifty miles away lay the Canadian line and safety. Suddenly fresh troops appeared ami surrounded him. Even then he could have escaped by abandoning his women and children and the wounded. ISut this he scorned to do. After two days fighting he w a s forced to surrender. This is the story of Chief Joseph (Hlnmaton-yaintkit — "Thunder Coming Up From the Water Uver t h e Land") of the Nez Ferces. T h e Nez I'erce war began In 1877 when the Indians were removed from their homes" tn the Wallowa valley in Oregon, under a treaty which Joseph refused t o recognize. He resolved to submit rather than provoke a war. His warriors were not so tractable. One day one of them whose father had been killed by a white settler rode Into the Nez Perce camp, "I have killed the white man who murdered my father," he announced. "Now you will have to go to war." Other murders of settlers followed and when the military was called out the wur began. Then fob lowed the famous flight through Idaho and Montana. It ended In October when (Ieneral Miles attacked Joseph's band In the Bear I'nw mountains. After a twoday battle the chief gave up the contest. "1 nm tired of fighting. Our chiefs nre killed. The old men are all dead and It is the young men who say 'yes' and 'no' In the council. It Is cold and we have no blankets. The little children a r e freezing to death. H e a r me, my chiefs, my heart Is sick and snd. From where the sun now stands, I fight no more forever." Joseph never fought again; although his ptople became exiles in Indian territory ; eventually they were returned to the northwest actf on September 21, 3004. the Indian Xenophon filed on the C'Vville reservation, Ne>pelim, Wash. (Prepared by the Unlttd States Department of Agriculture.) Many important problems In growing uud marketing pecans are confront ing the growers. Until recently the most experienced growers of pecans have considered the cowpea to be an excellent summer cover crop for use In their orchards, but, says the United States Department of Agriculture, it has been found that this crop is a favorite host plant or crop for the southern green plantbug or "stink bug" which attacks the immature nuts and by perforating the soft shell with its proboscis, reaches and Injures the tender kernel. With the subsequent growth and development of the nuts there arise at the points of perforation definite areas of deadened tissue In the kernel, possessing a bitter or acrid taste, and commonly designated as "kernel spot." Large quantities of the finest nuts were greatly reduced in consequence. A substitute soil-improving crop for "~*"yving in pecan orchards Is there- .LMe needed. Among the promising things are beggarweed. bush velvet bean and soy bean. So far as Is known the beggarweed Is not a host plant for the bug and the hush velvet bean and the soy bean a r e not supposed to be attacked by this Insect. Bush velvet beans are increasing In popularity as a cover crop In this section and may be the solution of the problem. As yet, there is little practical experience In determining the' suitability of these rover crops In pecan orchards and their efficiency In controlling the "stink bug." Orchardists woo use either bush velvet beans or soy beans as cover crops should carefully Inspect their crops at the end of the season to determine whether the percentage of nuts with kernel spot is satisfactorily reduced on the areas in which these crops are grown In comparison with the same variety where no cover crops are used. These ure Important problems- on which the growers themselves can assist In securing trustworthy information. Plan to Destroy "Stink Bug." It has been suggested that the "stink hug" feeds only on s< ed pods. If this Is true, crops, such as the velvet bean, which are late In maturing seed po 's, could be grown for a summer cover crop and turned under or cut up with disk harrows In early October before the pecan is ready to harvest. In this way the Insect probably would be destroyed and the ground left In good condition for the nut harvest. Growers and experimenters are expecting to obtain valuable Information on these crops during the coming season. Another Important problem Is that of unproductive orchards. Some of these orchards were planted on very poor soil, and for the worst of these the only apparent alternative Is that of abandonment. Other orchards do not produce well because the trees were planted t<>o close together, and are now badly crowded. For these 1T appears that t h e most effective rem edy would be that of removing the alternate trees, pruning those remain Ing, and of Improving rhe fertility of the soil. For orchards composed of seedling trees, or Inferior varietlee top-working is the solution. To Build Up Industry. In large outlying districts within the pecun range, yet beyond the limits of successful culture of southern varieties, the question is how to build up the orcharding industry, and how to extend Its range. In regions to whict the species is indigenous the first question is that of rinding new varieties suitable for planting. T h e native forest and field specimens should be ex amined for trees bearing desirable nuti In sufficient quantity to be profitable. Scions from such trees should be used for top-working the inferior, seedlings. Small wild seedlings can be worker' over to desirable sorts by customary nursery methods. Some common mistakes made In attempting to top-work trees a r e : Using those that are too old; cutting off branches that are too large; pruning too severely at the outset, thus attempting to do too much In a single season; top-working trees planted too close together, and top working trees standing in out-of-theway places where it will never be possible to give them good care. The development of the nut-cracking Industry should help the pecan Into a 12 months of the year market, and give employment to labor during otherwise Idle months. The kernels of the peenn contain a large percentage of oil which is quite as sensitive to tempeiulure changes as Is butter. In order that the shelled meats, as well as the unshelled nuts, may be kept In prime condition for the longest possible period, It is necessary that the nuts be well dried before they are packed or barreled for shipment, and that the product be kept In a cool and well-ventilated place during the winter months. As soon as warm weather begins these products should be placed In cold storage at a temperature between 30 and 36 degrees. In the shelling of nuts there Is considerable waste In the form of shells awl broken meats. Growers and handlers are trying to find uses for these products, such as fertilizer, tanning material and fuel. POISON BAITS WILL KILL OFF CUTWORMS MAKING BROWN ALFALFA HAY White Arsenic or Paris Green Will Prove Efficient. 'nsects Are Especially Fond of Tomatoes, Cabbage, Lettuce and Other Vegetables — They Are Voracious Feeders. Pr*p».r«d by the Vnlt*d State* Department of Agriculture.) Cutworms can readily be controlled hy t h e use of poisoned bait, the United States Department of Agriculture has demonstrated. This is the way to prepare and apply the poison: To one bushel of dry bran add one pound of white arsenic or paris green and mix thoroughly into a mash with four gallons of water, in which has been stirred one-half gallon of sorghum or other cheap molasses. This amount will be sufficient to treat four or five acres of cultivated crops. After the mash has stood for several hours scatter It in lumps of about the size of a marble o\ er the fields where the Injury Is beginning to appear. Put it about the b a s e of the plants which have been set out. Apply the mash late In the day, so as to have the poison In place around the plants before night, when the cutworms are active Apply a second time if necessary. Cutworms destroy hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars' worth of crops every year throughout the United Slates. They especially attack tomatoes, cahbnge, lettuce and other vt getnbles that h a \ e been str.rted under tr'ass and transplanted. Cutworms sometimes appear in great numhers In the spring rind early slimmer, and frequently do severe injury before their ravages are noticed. Their method of attack Is to cut off the younL" plan** near the ground. They are of l a r r e size and are voracious feeders, capable of desfroving many plan's In a single mght. Often they en' down more than they can i e,- 0 • — Very Similar to Silage and Some Feed era Think It Is Superior t o Green a t Feed. Ordinary field-cured alfalfa hay Is » bright green color, but sometime^ when moisture conditions a r e right stack curing results In a brown ot black hay that Is very similar to si Inge. It has a pleasant odor, is very palatable to live stock, and some feed ers think it is superior to green hay In feeding value. This kind of h a j results from putting up the alfalfa when it is more or less green. Most of it Is the result of accident rathei than intent, as definite efforts to make It have generally resulted In failure and a great deal of loss. Certain conditions, however, a r e essential In making brown hay. It should be put up in good-sized stacks, as It molds and chars to such an extent in small loose stacks that it Is not fit for fce<\. From reports that have heen collected from different alfalfa-growing areas, the United States Department of Agriculture concludes that good brown alfalfa hay is equal or somewhat superior in palatability to good field-cured hay, hut not superior to if in feeding value. The method of male ing would be Important could it be ue pended upon for saving hay in eli mates where there is so much rain fall that it is difficult to cure the haj in the field. Because of danger from spontaneous combustion it is not nd visnble to try to make brown hay Ir barns or mows.

True * Detective Stories r BELOW DEAD LINE v Copyright by The Wheeler Syodlcat*. I no. CONTRARY to the general opinion. It was not Inspector Byrnes who instituted the famous Imaginary barrier known as the "dead Une"— a point beyond which crooks could not penetrate except under peril of immediate arrest, even though no charges were pending against them at the moment. The device was originated by William Melville, superintendent of Scotland Yard during the reign of Queen Victoria. But it was in connection with the prevention of a crime, rather than la the solving of one, that Melville had his most distinguished success, for II he had not been able to capture Vroff, the famous anarchist, it is quite possible that the czar of Russia and possibly some of the members of the reigning family in England would have been blown into eternity. The affair In question occurred some months after Melville had taken charge of Scotland Yard. The visit of the czar had b<*en widely heralded through the press and every governmental operative In Great Britain had been pressed into service to secure the safety of the visiting ruler. The entire Island was combed for men who were known to be hiding, and, as a final resort, Melville Issued an order that any suspicious character found within five square miles of the line of march from Buckingham palace to the Mansion house would be arrested on sight. Three days before the arrival of the czar, Melville's reports Indicated that the city had been thoroughly cleaned up. But on the very day of the process slon, only two hours before the royal families were scheduled to leave the palace, Melville was Informed that his men had failed to apprehend the most dangerous nihilist on the continent— a young Russian by the name of Vroff, who had escaped from a prison In St. Petersburg and had entered England in such a roundabout manner that his arrival had not been recorded. According to the word which reached Melville, Vroff had secured employment in a wine merchant's establishment along the line which the procession would follow, and h#d sworn to throw a bomb under the czar's carriage as it passed. Melville realized that there wasn't a moment to be lost. Also, It was a Joh which he must handle alone. As It happened, Melville knew the establishment where Vroff worked, and he also knew that a^ certain vintage of champagne was kept in the cellar, whence It was produced only at a special request. It was for this renson, therefore, that he made his way to the wine shop and stated thnt he would like to purchase half a dozen bottles of the champagne. As he expected, the proprietor Informed him that the vintage was In the bin, hut offered to have It brought np Immediately. "Don't hot her to do thnt," replied the Scotland Yard man, Til go down with one of your cellarmen and pick out the bottles for myself. Possibly 1*11 see something else that I want at the same time. Send that man along with tne to point out the way," and he indicated one of fhe employees whom he had recognized from the description as Vroff. As they reached the foot of the stairs, the cellarman pointed to a bin •nearby and stated that it contained the champagne the customer asked for. Realizing that he could not stage his coup so close to a means of exit, Mel- 'vllle examined the bottles, offered some objection to the age of the wine and inquired what lay in the back of the cellar. "Burgundy," replied tbe other, commencing to be a bit restive, for the hour of the approach of the procession was drawing rapidly nearer. "Fine!" said the Scotland Yard head. "I think I'd prefer that, after all. Let me see some of It, will you?" Grumbling a bit under his breath, Vroff led the way back Into the dim recesses of the cellar, and as he bent forward to secure a bottle, Melville closed with him. With a sidewise, eel-like slip, Vroff ducked out from under the detective's arms, and, before Melville knew what he was doing, he had reached Into a bin in the center of the cellar and secured a big, murderous bomb, which he held high above his head. "Stop !" he commanded, as the Scotland Yard operative started toward him. "One more step and I'll blow the whole place to h—1 and you with It." Melville, wise in the knowledge of annrchial principles, realized that this was a b'uff. "You've got me." he admitted. "But for God's sake don't throw that thing In here: We'd both be killed !" "Then back into that doorway," directed Vroff, "and don't make a sound. Slowly and hesitatingly, so as to bring the Russian nearer to him. Melville obeyed orders. Then, Just as the anarchist reached out to rlr.se the door, Melville sprar.g and seized the bomb •Vlth one hand, and with the other delivered an uppercut on the point of the anarchists's jaw from which Vroff didn't recover for fully five minutes. When he finally came to, he found that he had bren securely hnmh-uffed to one of the stanchions—the:-e to remain intll tlif *..,unds of the piis^-in.: procession loid faded into the 'li-'-.iico. ?Y YY Y ii INSURANCE MAN IS ENTHUSED OVER IT Had Your Iron Today?

NICHOLS 8 Pinckney Opera House SATURDAY EVE., JULY 22 8 p. m. Clara Delia Weaver Reader and Entertainer Of Los Angeles, Calif. Assisted by Local Musicians Proceeds for Federated Church «i'- Adults 35c ALL COME No Reserved Seats Children 20c % •*r s; <» ; $ Martha, A- Nicjiuls, youngest child of Ezekiel and Elizabeth Nichols was born February 12 187ti in Handy township, Livingston County, Michigan. In the following spring her parents moved to the Nichols farm in Marion, 3 miles west of Howell. In early life she attended the Lake school near her home and later the Howell High School. In 1903 she entered the nurses' training school in Michigan University. After two years of study she developed tuberculosis and came home to fight that dread disease. In 19^)() she hati so far recovered that she returned to her studies in the University and was graduated in June 1908. She had a tine scholarship record and several advantagious offers were made her in distant institutions, but wishing to be near her aged parents she entered the Pinckney Sanitarium where she served for eleven years. She will live long in the memories of .scores of patients of this institution for the tender and faithful care they received at her hands. No patient ever left this institution who did not love and respect her. Her father's health failed him and she returned to her home to care for him. After his death her mother required her care and she remained at home till her own death July 6, 1922. For several months it was known to her intimate friends that her health was failing and the most expert medical and surgical aid was employed in her behalf but was unable to check or cure the malady from which she suffered. Too much cannot be said in regard to Mrs. Nichols as a woman, as a friend or as a professional nurse. Her, career has ended but her influence lives on especially in the affections of those for whom she cared in their time of suffering, as well as in the hearts of scores of friends. When it became known that she was seriously ill friends and former patients came to her door without number begging that they be allowed to do some' thing for her, but in her weakened condition she could see but few, and they would leave their tokens of love and go away. The administrations of her long time friend and associate nurse Mrs. Richards was a great comfort to her. She leaves a mother Hfi ycnrs of age, three brothers, Elmer of St. Ignace, Asa, of Nebraska and George of Howell. The funeral was held at her home on the lawn and under the trees she loved so well, on July 8, 1922 Rev. Julian West of the Howell M. E. Church assisted by the 0. E. S. order of Pinckney officiated. Thus closes a life pure and true, and while the horizon was not always clear find unclouded, her fnith that ri^ht and justice will prevail sustained her and she died triumphant, Now in the i i 1 >: NEW STORE We will close out the following implements for cash 6 Sixty-toi tli SILT! frame L'V-T Harrows --- - - $ 1 6 1 Sixty-tooth wood frame Lever Harrows - - - $ 1 2 2 •• 9 Oliver steel beam Walking Flows -- - - $ 2 2 I 98 Oliver steel beam Walking J'low $20 ~ 95 South Bend Steel Beam Walking Plows $ 2 1 1 94 South Bend Steel Beam Walking Plow - . $ 2 1 3 J.

Avery had driven up to the Palmer Garage and was having his car filled with gasoline. A lighted cigarette was the cause of the fire. The gasoline ignited and spread rapidly, flames reaching 20 to 25 feet in the air. The person filling the car had presence of mind enough to allow the gas in the filling station to run out. This added to the immedinte intensity of the fire but no doubt saved a bad explosion •—Tribune.

EDWIN DENBY OFFICIALS REFUSE TO YIELD Points at Issue Said to Have Been Seniority Rule. Pension 8tatu« and Adjustment Board. Washington—A settlement of the strike of railway shopmen appears more remote than ever following what was said to have been an insistent refusal by lailway executives who conferred here with members of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee to accede to some of the union demands. The position taken by the heads of leading railroads at the suddenly arranged conference last Friday night, said to have been called on the Initiative of Senator Cummins, chairman of the Senate committee, was viewed by those participating as making further such efforts at a settlement appear fruitless. The principal points In dispute between the executives, who were called here more or less secretly, and the union were gone over in detail at the conference together with the possibility of legislation to meet the situation. It was said that no legislation was practicable to deal with the present strike. The rail executives, it was stated, were insistent upon three points which the unions are demanding as a recession to send the men back to work. These are the seniority rule, the restoration of the pension status and the question of boards of adjustment between the employers and employes. At the conference, It was said that the rail executives declared they could not and would not yield to the union demand for a national board of adjustment. They also were said to be insistent upon refusing to restore the status quo of employes on strike with a s p e c t to their seniority and pension rights.

Washington—Rejection of Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals and enactment of legislation for development of the war-built projects in Alabama by a governmeut-owned and government-controlled corp o r a t i o n was recommended to the senate last week by Chairman Norris, of the senate agriculture committee. The charges against Ford and his effort to get control of Muscle Shoals were made by the majority report of the senate agriculture committee, which voted 9 to 7 against accepting his offer. Instead of being the philanthropist and magical benefactor of millions of people as his admirers have pictured him, Henry Ford was characterized as the head of the "piratical" corporation s e e k i n g through his bid for Muscle Shoals a virtual donation of $14,500,000,000 from the taxpayers of the country.

He was flying at a height of 4,000 feet over the Great Wall when the engine of the plane broke down. The machine was demolished in landing, but Mr. Denby was uninjured. The gasoline feed line on the engine of the airplane choked while over a mountain gorge. The expert aviation ability of Captain Charles Dolan, a Bostonian and former member of the Lafayette Esquadrille, averted what might have been a serious accident. Pilot Dolan skillfully effected a landing in an open field, going through a horseshoe turn without injuring anyone. The landing was effected in a plowed field, where the natives had never seen an airplane before and tremendous crowds gathered. SOLDIERS GUARD STATE MINES Train Hits Moose, Fireman Killed.

Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, that Michigan miners would not be permitted to return to work until the national strike is settled, Governor Groeebeck conferred with John Harris, state mining inspector, on the phases of state operation of the coal mines. Shortly after his arrival at Saginaw, the governor conferred with representatives of both the operators and the men. He found the operators ready to re-open the mines on the old wage scale, pending a national wage agreement and the miners willing to return to work on fhe same conditions. The Governor's plan was to put the mines under the protection of the State Department of Public Safety, using State Police and Michigan National Guardsmen if necessary, and then offer the miners their old jobs back, urging them to disregard the orders of John L Lewis, head of the United Mine Workers' national organization, not to return.

Detroit—Scarcity of soft coal due to the strike of miners and railroad men has sent prices soaring in Detroit. Many consumers have become panicky and are paying $6.75 and $7 a ton at the mines. To this must be ! added $2 58 a ton for freight and from DETROIT N E W S BUYS JOURNAL 25 cents to 28 cents for unloading, which brings the price in Detroit to approximately $10 a ton.

Washington—Operaters from coal producing districts of six states were asked Monday by Secretary Hoover to co-operate with the government and railroads in a plan to insure distribution of fuel to carriers and public utilities and to prevent profiteering during the strike emergency. All angles of Hoover's scheme, which contemplated formation of a central committee to operate through local committees In producing disrlcts of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Alabama, were threshed out Sunday at a series of conferences of federal agencies involved. Mr. Hoover's program iB intended to give the country the full benefit of the present bituminous production in the face of a rapidly dwindling coal supply and active mine force. According to a survey issued by James J. Davis, secretary of labor, 610,000 miners are now out on strike and 185.000 are still at work.

Corvet has deeded his house and its contents to Alan. CHAPTER IV Continued. —4— What SherrtU had told Alan of his father had been Iterating Itself again and again In Alan's thoughts; now he recalled that Sherrlll had said that his daughter believed that Corvet's disappearance had had something to do with her. Alan had wondered at the moment how that could be; and as he watched her across the table and now and then exchanged a comment with her, It p o l l e d him still more. He had opportunity to ask her when she Waited with him in the library, after dinner was finished and her mother had gene upstairs; but be did not see then how to go about It T m sorry," she said to him, "that we can't be home tonight; but perhaps jrou would rather be alone?" He did not answer that, "Have you a picture here, Miss Sherrlll, of—my father?" he asked. "Uncle Benny had had very few pictures taken; but there Is one here." She went Into the stud; and came back with a book open at a half-tone picture of Benjamin Corvet Alan took It from her and carried it Quickly closer to the light The face that looked up to him from the heavily glazed page was regular of feature, handsome In a way, and forceful. There were imagination and vigor of thought in the broad, smooth forehead; the eyes were strangely moody and brooding; the mouth was gentle, rather kindly; it was a queerly Impelling, haunting face. This was his father I B a t S J Alan held the* picture, ffaslng down upon It the only emotion which came to him was realization that he felt none. He had no emotion of any tort; he could not attach to this man, because he bore the name which soma one had told him was his father's, the passions which, when treamlng of his father, he had felt Alan stood still a moment longer, than, remembering the book which he held, he drew a chair up to the light, Me Could Net Call Up Any Sense That the House Wat Hit. had read the short, dry biography of hla father printed on the page opposite the portrait. It summarized in a few hundred words bis father's life. Alan shut the book and aat thoughtfsi. The talV dock In the hall struck Bin*.

N<xj>ne as y*t since Sherrlll had told him he was Cervet's son, had called him by name; wtten they did, what would they call hl4? vAian Conrad still? Or Alan Corbet? He noticed, up a street to the west, the lighted sign of a drug store and turned up that way; he had promised, he had recollected now, to Write to . . . those in Kausas—he could not call them "father" and "mother" any more—and tell them what he had dis covered as soon as he arrived. He could not tell them that but he could write them at least that he had arrived safely and was well. He bought a postcard in the drug store, and wrote Just "Arrived safely; am well" to John Welton in Kansas. There was a little vending machine upon the counter, and he dropped In a penny and got a box of matches and put them In his pocket He mailed the card and turned back to Astor street; and he walked more swiftly now, having come to his decision, and only shot one quick look up at the house as he approached i t With what had his father shut himself up within that house for twenty years? And was It there still? And was It from that that Benjamin Corvet had tted? He saw no one In the street and was certain no one was observing him as, taking the key from his pocket, he ran up the steps and unlocked the outer door. Holding this door open to get the light from the street lamp, he fitted the key into the Inner door; then he closed the outer door. For fully a minute; with fast-beating heart and a sense of expectation of he knew not what, he kept his band upon the key before he turned it; then he opened the door and stepped Into the dark and silent house. CHAPTER V An Encounter. Alan, standing In the darkness of the hall, felt in his pocket for his matches and struck one on the box. The light showed the hall In front of him, reaching back into some vague, distant darkness, and great rooms with wide portlered doorways gaping on both sides. He turned into the room upon his right, glanced to see that the shades were drawn on the windows toward the street then found the switch and turned on the electric light. Alan had the feeling which so often comes to one In an unfamiliar and vacant house that there was some one In the house with him. He listened and seemed to hear another sound in the upper hall, a footstep. He went out quickly to the foot of the stairs and looked up them. "Is any one here?" he called, "Is any one here?" His voice brought no response. He went half way up the curve of the wide stairway and called again, and listened ; then he fought down the feeling be had had; Sherrlll had said there would be no one In the house, and Alan was certain there was no one. So he went back to the room where he had left the light The center of this room, like the room next to It, was occupied by a library table-desk. He pulled open some drawers In It; one or two had blueprints and technical drawings In them; the others had only the miscellany which accumulates In a room much used. There were drawers also under the bookcases all around the room; they appeared, when Allan opened some of thenv to contain pamphlets of various societies, and the scientific correspondence of which Sherrlll had told him. Alan felt that seeing these things was bringing his father closer to him; they gave him a little of the feeling he had been unable to get when he looked at his father's picture. He could realize better now the lonely, restless man, pursued by some ghost he could not kill, taking up for distraction one subject of study after another, exhausting each in turn until he could no longer make It engross him, and then absorbing himself In the next On the top of a chest of high drawers in a corner near the dressing table were some papers. Alan went over to look at them; they were Invitations, notices of concerts and of plays twenty years old—the mall, probably, of the morning when Corvet's wife had gone away, left where her maid or she herself had laid them. and only picked up and put back there at the times since when the room was dusted. As Alan touched them, be saw that his fingers left marks in the dust on the smooth top of the cheat: he noticed that some one else had touched the things and made marks of the same sort as be had made. The freshness of these other marks startled him; they had been made within a day or so. They could not have been made by Sherrtn, for Alan had noticed that gherrilPe hands slender and delicately formed; vat, too, was not a huge man; Alan's own hand was of good size and powerful, but when he put his fingers over the marks the other man had made, he found that the other hand must have been larger and more powerful than his own. Had it been Corvet's servant? It might have been, though the marks seemed too fresh for that; for the servant, Sherrlll had said, had left the day Corvet's disappearance was discovered. This proof that some one had been prying about in the house before himself and since Corvet had gone, startled Alan and angered him. Who had been searching in Benjamin Corvet's —In Alan's house? He pushed the drawers shut hastily and hurried across the hall to the room opposite. In this room—plainly Benjamin Corvefs bedroom—were no signs of intrusion. He went to the door of the room connecting with i t turned on the light end looked In. It was a smaller room than the others and contained a roll-top desk and a cabinet The cover of the desk was closed, and the drawers of the cabinet were shut and apparently undisturbed. Hb tried the cover of the desk, brft It appeared to be locked; after looking Around vainly for a key, he trieo again, exerting a little more force, and this time the top went up easily, tearing away the metal plate into which the claws of the lock clasped and the two long screws which had held i t He examined the lock, surprised, and saw that the screws must have been merely set Into the holes; scars showed where a chisel or some metal implement had been thrust in Somewhere Within the House, Unmistakably on the Floor Below Him, a Door Had 8lammed. under the top to force It up. The pigeonholes and little drawers in the upper part of the desk, as he swiftly opened them, he found entirely empty. He hurried to the cabinet; the drawers of the cabinet too had been forced, and very recently; for the scars and the splinters of wood were clean and fresh. These drawers and the drawers in the lower part of the desk either were empty, or the papers tn them had been disarranged and tumbled In confusion, as though some one had examined them hastily and tossed them back. To Alan, the marks of violence and roughness were unmistakably the work of the man with the big hands *who had left marks upon the top of the chest of drawers; and the feeling that he had been In the bouse very recently was stronger than ever. Alan ran out Into the hall and listened; he heard no sound; but he went back to the little room more excited than before. For what had the other man been searching? For the same things which Alan was looking for? And had the other man got them? Who might the other be, and what might be his connection with Benjamin Corvet? Alan had no doubt that everything of Importance must have been taken away,.but he would make sure of that He took some of the papers from the drawers and began to examine them; after nearly an hour of this, he had found only one article which appeared connected In any way with what SherrUl had told him or with Alan himself. In one of the little drawers of the desk he found several books, much worn as though from being carried In a pocket and one of these contained a series of entries stretching over several years. These listed an amount—$150—-opposite a series of dates with only the year and the month given, and there was an entry for every second month. Alan felt his fingers trembling as he turned the pages of the little book and found at the end of the list a blank, and below, in the same hand but in writing which had changed slightly with the passage of years, another date and the confirming entry of $1,500. Alan looked through the little book again and put It In his pocket. It was, beyond doubt his father's memorandum of the sums sent to Blue Rapids for Alan; it told him that here he had been in his father's thoughts. He grew warm at the thought as he began putting the other things back Into the drawers, He started and straightened suddenly; then be listened attentively, and his skin, warm an Instant before. turned cold and prickled. Somewhere within the house, unmistakably on the floor below htm, a door had slammed. Some one—it was beyond question now, for the realization was quite different from the feeling be had had about that before was In the house with him. Was It . , . his father who had come back? That, though not Impossible, seemed improbable, Alan stooped quickly, unlaced and stripped off his shoes, and ran oat into the hall to the head of the stairs, where he looked down and listened. From here the sound of some one moving about came to him distinctly; he could see no light below, but when he ran down to the turn of the stairs, it became plain that there was a very dim and flickering light in the library. He crept on farther down the staircase. His hands were cold and moist from his excitement and his body was hot and trembling. Whoever it was that waa moving about downstairs, even If he was not one who had a right to be there, at least felt secure from Interruption. He was going with heavy step from window to window; where he found a shade up, be pulled it down brusquely and with a violence which suggested great strength under a nervous strain; a shade, which had been pulled down, flew up, and the man damned it as though it had startled him; then, after an instant, be pulled it down again. Alan crept still farther down and at last caught sljzht of him. He was a big, young-looking man, with broad Shoulders and very evident vigor; Alan guessed his age at thirty-five; he was handsome—be had a straight forehead over daring, deep-set eyes; his nose, Ups and chin were powerfully formed; and he was expensively and very carefully dressed. The light by which Alan saw these things camo from a flat little pocket searchlight that the man carried In one hnnd. which threw a little brilliant circle of light as he directed it; and now, as the light chanced to fall on his other hand—powerful and heavily rausclei] —Alan recollected the look and size of the finger prints on the chest of drawers upstairs. He did not dnuhr that this was the same man who hnd gone through the desk; hut since h« had already rifled the desks, what did he want here now? As the man moved out of sight, Alan crept on down as far as the door to the library; the man had gone on Into the rear room. and Alan went far enough into the library so he could see him. He had pulled open one of the drawers In the big table In the rear roorft and with his light held so high as to show what was In it, he was tumbling over its contents and examining them. He went through one after another of the drawers of the table like this; after examining them, he rose and kicked the last one shut disgustedly; he stood looking about the room qu*-«- tionlngly, then he started toward the front room. He had, as yet, neither seer nor heard anything to alarm him, nnd as he went to the desk In the front room and peered Impatiently Into the drawers, he slammed thpm shut, one nfter another. He straightened and st&rer! about. "D—n Ben! D—n Ben!" he ejaculated violently and seturned to the rear room. Alan, again following him, found him on his knees in front of one of the drawers under the bookcases. As he continued searching through the drawers, his Irritation became greater and greater. He Jerked ons drawer entirely out of Its ense, and the contents flew In every direction; swearing at it, he gathered up the letters. One suddenly caught his attention; he began reading It closely, then snapped It back Into the drawer, crammed the rest on top of It, and went on to the next of the files. He searched In this manner through half a dozen drawers, plainly finding nothing at all he wanted; he dragged some of the books from their cases, felt behind them and shoved back some of the books but dropped others on the floor and blasphemy burst from him. The beam of light from the torch tn his hand swayed aside and back and forth. Without warning, suddenly It caught Alan as he stood tn the dark of the front room; and as the dim white circle of light gleamed Into Alan's face, the man looked that way and saw hlra. The effect of thls,upon the man was so strange and so bewildering to Alan that Alan could only stare at htm. The big man seemed to shrink into himself and to shrink back and away from Alan. He roared out something In a bellow thick with fear and horror; he seemed to choke with terror. There was nothing in his look akin to mere surprise or alarm at renllzlng that another was there and had been seeing and overbearing him. The light which he still gripped swayed back and forth and showed him Alan again, and he raised his arm before his face as he recoiled. The consternation of the man was so complete that it checked Alan's rush toward him; he halted, then advanced silently and watchfully. As he went forward, and the light sbone upon his face again, the big man cried out hoarsely: "D—n you, d—n you, with the hole above your eye I The bullet got you I And now you've got Ben! But you can't get me I Go back to hell I You can't get me I HI get you—HI get you ! You—can't save the Mlwaka !" He drew back his arm and with all is might hurled the flashlight at Alan. It missed and crashed somewhere behind him, bu* did not go out; the beam of light shot back and wavered and flickered over both of them, as the torch rolled on the floor. Alan rushed forward and, thrusting through the dark, his hand struck the man's chest and seized his coat The man caught at and seized Alan's arm; he seemed to feel of It and assure himself of its reality. "Flesh I Flesh 1" be roared In relief; and his big arms grappled Alan. As they struggled, they stumbled and fell to the floor, the big man underneath. His hand shifted Its hold and caught Alan's throat; Alan got an arm free sod, with all his force, struck the man's /aee. Its* jma struck a heavy blow on the side of Alan's bead which dizzied him but left him strength to strike again, and his knuckles reached the man's face once more, but he got another heavy blow In return. Tbe man was grappling no longer; he swung Alan to one side and off of him, and rolled himself away. He scrambled to his feet and dashed out through the library, across the hall, and Into the service room. Alan got to his feet; dizzied and not yet familiar with tbe house, he blundered against a wall and had to fee) bis way along It to the service roomj as he slipped and stumbled down the stairway, a door closed loudly at th% end of the corridor he had seen at the foot of the stairs. He ran along the corridor to the door; it had closed with a spring lock, and seconds passed while he felt in the dark for the catch; he found it and tore the door open, and came out suddenly Into the cold air of the night in a paved passageway beside the house which led Ha one direction to tb» street and 1¾ the other to a gate opening on the af.ey. He ran forward t«* the street and looked up and down, bu' 1ound It empty; then he ran bark to th* alley. At the end of the alley, wher^ *t Intersected the cross street, the figure of the man running away appeared sud» denly out of the shadows, then disappeared ; Alan, following as far as the street could see nothing rnort of him; this street too was empty. lie ran a little farther and looked, then he went back to the house. The side door Imd swung shut again and latched. He let himself to at the front door and turned on the Kght lo tbs reading lamp In tbe library. The electric torch still was burning on tbe floor and he picked it up and extinguished It; he went upstairs and brought down his shoes. He had seen a wood Are set ready for lighting In the library, and now he lighted it aad sa* before It drying his wet .socks b> fore he put on his shoes. He was stl'l shaking and breathing fast from Ws struggle with the man and his chafe after him, and by the strangeness Of what had taken place. When the shaft of light from the torch hnd flashed across Alan's fate \ In the dark library, the man had not i taken him for what he was—a living ; person; he had taken him for a specter. His terror and the things he had fried out could mean only that. Ths J specter of whom? Not of Benjamin Corvet; for one of the things A!aa had remarked when he saw Benjamlo Corvet's picture was that he hlmsplf did not look at all like his fa'Htr. Be- I sides, what the man hnd said msde it ' certain that he did not think the npeo ter was "Bon"; for the s o r t e r hnd "got IVn." Did Alan look like s«4ne , one else, then? Like whom? Evidently like the men—now dend, *<•• he had a ghost—who had "got" Re* in the big man's opinion. Who coulo that be? Alan got tip and went to look at himself In the mirror he had see» In the hall. He was white, now that the flush of the fighting was going; he probably had been pale before with excitement and over his right ejt there was a round black mark. Alaa looked down at his hands; a little skin was off one knuckle, where be had struck the man, and his Angers were smudged with a black and sottj dust. He had smudged them on the papers upstairs or else In feeling his way about the dark house, and at some time he had touched his forehead and left the black mark. That had been the "bullet hole." The rest that the man had said hall been a reference to some name; Alaa had no trouble to recollect the name, and, while he did not understand M at all. It stirred him queerly—"the Miwaka." What was that? The quee* excitement and questioning that the name brought, when he repeated M to himself, was not recollection; fof he could not recall ever having heard j the name before; but It was not com* ' pletely strange to htm. He could fie> fine the excitement It stirred only la j that way. Sherrlll had believe* that here la this house Benjamin Corvet had left— or might have left—a memorandum, i record, or arf account of some sort which would explain to Alan, his son, the blight which hung over his life. Sherrlll had said that it could have been no mere Intrigue, no vuigar per sonal sin; and the events of the eight had made that very certain; for, plain* ly, whatever was hidden In that house Involved some one else seriously, dea perately. There was no other way te explain the Intrusion of the sort of man whom Alan had surprised there an hour ago. The fact that this other mas searched also did not prove that Benjamin Corvet had left a record In the house, as Sherrlll believed; but It certainly showed that another person believed—or feared—it Whether of not guilt bad sent Benjamin Corves away four days ago, whether or not there had been guilt behind the ghost whlcb had "got Ben," there was guttt In tbe big roan's superstitious terrot when he had seen Alan, A bold, pow* erful man like that one, when his cos> science Is clear, does not see a ghost And the ghost which he had seen ha4 a bullet bole above the brows 1 Insure in a Strong Company Total Assets, $227,776.54 Fourteen stock companies and four znutuals retired from business in 1921.

C.) Just as the United states celebrated etth an exposition in 1876 the completion of the first century of Its independence, so Brazil will celebrate next September her first centenary as a na- £>n by means of a great world fair in o de Janeiro. It Is an occasion and a ceremony Which the people of the United States are particularly well fitted to understand and appreciate. In a number of ways Brazil stands where the United itutes stood 46 years ajjo, though in »any others, of course,..;this neighbor • to the south, equipped. Mith modern machinery and assisted by modern methods, is far in advance of the United States of 1876. * Brazil is much more than "one of the South American republics." In *rea it is in a class wftn the United States. Its flag floats dfer practically one-half of South Araejtca and onefifth of the western heniSphets. Leaving Alaska out of consUJ&atlon, Brazil Is actually 200,000 squart miles greater "than the United S w e s ! It has boundaries of greater ot|^ss length in common with every ot^#r country In south' America excep^ jpcuador and Chile. ' The land boundary of Brazil, following all the twisting* of rivers and mountain ranges. ifr^tfrtfcably.. aqt J a r Joining coast; one o.f,the most famous from 10,000 miles long.^tod there Is a coastline of 6,000 milerf as well. The largest river In the worM, tremendous potential water power,, and huge deposits of minerals are'among some of the other physical features that mark Brazil out for big tilings. It Is particularly In the possession of vast, undeveloped resources that Brar.il Is comparable to the United States of half a century ago. It too, has Its West; but It Is a West strikingly different from the plains country of central North America. The equator crosses northern Brazil, and more than nine-tenths of the huge country lies within the tropics. Brazil's West i n s i s t s for the most part of a dense tropical forest—A veritable ocean of verdure— rich In hard woods and rubber trees. Into this largely undeveloped country stretches the broad Amazon and.its tributaries up which ocean vessels steam for 1,000 miles—as though ocean steamers In nur own country could steam up the Mississippi and Ohio past Cincinnati. River steamers ascend the main streams for another 1,000 miles and run up numerous tributaries for several hundred miles. The. possession of this great Amazon waterway and Its network of tributaries greatly cheapens transportation In Brazil to comparison with a country in which dependence must be placed largely on railroads. Heart of B r a i d I t Southeast. In addition to Its northern forests, Brazil has a prairie country in its "Middle West"—the sooth central portion of the country lying north of Paraguay and extending northward into the hill country. Large herds of cattle are grazed 'and there is room for great expansion of the Industry. , The southeastern edge of Brazil, paradoxically, Is the heart of the country. The white population, numbering probably between 9,000,400 and 10,000,- 000 is largely concentrated In the region of temperate climate in the south ern coastal highlands Wtiich extend in- Brazil Is not backward in railroad construction, having 20,000 miles of track. Yet so vast is the country that railway construction seems barely begun. Brazil has yet to build its trans-* continental lines. With & tingle exception the railroads are confined to a belt along the coast from 860 to 460 miles deep. The exception is the road extending from the port of Santos 800 miles westward to Porto Esperanca on the Paraguay river. Rio de Janeiro^ capital-..of Brazil. in which the exposition qgefratgig the centenary of Brafiltaj^Tnfep^dencep is to be held^has aj population bje&weejl a million and a million and a half, and Is therefore one of, the greatest of cities. It shares roughly with Vienna, Osaka, Peking, Hankow and Calcutta the rank of tentb^Mty of the worttj. In South America m i s surpassed^ in^size only by Buenos Aires. Set in a series of valleys, backed-and all but encircled by mountain-like hills clad in a riot of .tropical yieg^tatKm,*$nd with* a magnificent hftrbor at its feet, Rio de Janeiro is one of the most beautiful— many travelers assert the most beautiful—of the cities of the world. Man's* hand has helped nature in bringing about this beauty. Broad boulevards rim the deep, crescents of**he harbor and the rough, picturesque ad of botanical gardpns has been created; and avenues are llaed by towering palms, while stately "BuTldingr are set In spacious parks. "As multicolored and varied in beauty as the butterflies' of the tropics' 1 is the characterization of cne recent visitor to the metropolis of Brazil. "In splendor of hue and setting this great city of the South is unrivaled the world over. Here granite peak and turquoise sea, tropic forest and ralnbow-tlnted town, meet and harmonize. "This city of lure terraces up from a glorious bay—the Bay of Guanabara. mountain-encircled, Isle-bejeweled, /rum the shore, where parks and boulevards are fast crowding out the old Rio of narrow streets, rise forested hills on whose slopes the lovelier portion of the city lies." Rio Seen From the Mountain*. To see Rio at its best and loveliest one must go to these mountains that tower over the city. Turning bayward, one looks down, through a frame of tangled vines and branches, onto the i tree-tops of the sloping virgin forest. Far below, set in verdure, gleams the kaleidoscopic city, with its crescent shores. In numerous crescents the creaming sea meets the beaches— Formosa, Santa Luzla, Lapa, Gloria. Flamingo, Botafogo. Vermelha. The bay, set in its amphitheater of hills, sparkles like a sapphire, To and fro among the ships at anchor ply the busy paddle-wheel ferry-boats to the islands and to N'ictheroy, the little sister city across the way. In the distance tower the blue spires of the 'ofty Organ mountains. Oceanward one looks down on titanic granite mountains rising sheer from the sea. There is bulks Babylonia, and flat-topped Gavea, like a great sail unfurled. Between them lie Rio's suburban beaches—Leme Capacabana, Tpnnema, Leblon—In e glistening chain, their white villas nestling between hill and shore. The Man With Tools Enabled to Reach Threatened wreak -tn taoe* and < Stop Rising Waters. (Prepated bjr th« UiUted States Department ot AsricuLture.) A federal-aid road has just been completed in Arkansas which has already saved millions of dollars to the community In which it is built. Recently during high water in the Mississippi word came to Helena, Ark., that the levee at Old Town, 17 miles away, was 'about to break. The situation was critical. A few hours' delay and thousands of acres of rich farming land would be flooded, and possibly many lives lost. Helena was the only source of aid, and many men with tools and material were needed. Every available motor vehicle was pressed into service and over 600 men, properly equipped for the work, were in a short time speeding over the new road to save the levee. They arrived in the nick of time and by almost superhuman efforts dammed back the rising waters. Residents say that had it been necessary to make the trip over the old road the levee could not have been reached In time and that the workers would have needed boats rather than motor vehicles. :.

This Time It It for the Meanest Man, and He Surely Has "Some" Qualifications! Another "meanest man" has been fouud. He was discovered in a northbound elevated express. He had remained seated although a woman stood swaying on a strap In front of him. The train was standing at the Fullerton avenue station when he jumped to his feet, apparently realizing suddenly that his destination had been reached. He started for the door. When the man quit his seat it was, logically, taken by the woman. Not for long, however, did she hold it. A second later he was back—obviously having spotted the station name through the open door. "Pardon me," he said, "that wasn't my station." And he sllowed the woman to rise and give him the seat.—Chicago Journal.

(Prepared X»r t h e United Statea Department ot Asrlculture.) Hickory timber, although held In seenjlDgiy vast amount by the forests of the country, may soon become insufficient to meet American manufacturing und woodworking needs. The Increasing demand for this valuable species, together with the scattered character of its growth in the forest, has resulted in merchantable stands becoming more and more inaccessible and difficult to log. Stands Are Widely Scattered. The Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, puts the country's present supply of hickory, distributed through 1200.000,000 acres of forests, at 15,784,000,000 board feet. Of this the Central states have 1,791,- 000,000 feet, the lower Mississippi states 5,171,000,000 feet, the South Atlantic and East Gulf states 3,183,000,- 000 feet, the Mi<*lle Atlantic states 4111,000,000 board feet, the Lake states 187,000,000 feet, und the New England states 40.000,000 feet. One of the uses to which hickory Is put is the manufacture of spokes fur automobile wheels. The yearly demand upon the hickory reserves by tliis industry alone is tremendous, as there is much waste in getting the sHts't stock necessary not only for spokes but also the rims of wheels. Industries Compete for Hickory. , For the most part vehicle and agricultural implement industries compete wilh the handle industry f-r hickory and ash. These are located mainly in the Middle West, but now derive most of their wood supplies from the South. A large number of far-sighted organizations purchased more or less extensive hardwood tracts some years ago, from which they are now aide to draw at least a part of their wood supplies. To secure hickory, which grows scatteringly over large areas, the vehicle and vehicle-implement industries originally maintained extensive buying, logging, and milling organizations in the South. They draw upon every conceivable source—farmers' wood-lots small mills, large sawmills, and even hatchet. There Is a certain strength, toughness and elasticity to hickory which nature has denied to other com- J mercial woods. Some are stronger, many are harder, but the rare combl- ' nation of the qualities mentioned la lacking In all of them. I The raw material for handles in the ' form of short log bolts Is sometimes split Into handle blanks In the woods, nut the usual practice Is to rip-saw the bolts into blanks at me factory. The | split-handle blank is considered supe- I rior to the sawed blank in that it In j sures a straight-grain handle. On the j other hand, sawed blanks, though they i are likely to show more cross grain, ; are more economical In the use of timber. Hickory, due to its unrivaled properties of gTeat strength, elasticity, and resiliency, Is used exclusively in the manufacture of handles of golf clubs. The constantly Increasing popularity of this sport has placed another de maud on the hickory supply. KEEP CONTAINERS UP TO THEIR FULL SIZE "Short" Baskets Due to Lack of Proper Inspection.

The annual consumption of hickory by the handle trade Is something over 120,000,000 feet board measure. Little, If any, of this material passes through the sawmills, for it is ordinarily cut and shipper! to the handle factories in the form of log bolts or billets. All hickories do not give the same service when made into handles. The various parts of the same tree may show different properties, and the quality of the wood near the center is quite likely to differ from that nearer the bark. The wood * the butt of a young hickory tree is of greater average toughness than it Is when the tree Is old. The wood of butt cuts of both old and* young trees Is tougher than that cut higher up the trunk. The handle manufacturers, for the most part, demand /frond-growth hickory. which ronsftrrrof young stock of rapid growth. 13-st Matsrlal for Handles.

Curious Fire Engine. What might be described as a double- tandem bicycle, with four wheels arranged Vke those of a wagon, and four seats for riders, two in front and two behind, and carrying a hose reel, rotary pump, etc., was exhibited recently In Paris. The machine is intended as a lire engine in small towns. When the scene of fire is reached the pedals are thrown into gear with the pump, the hose is unrolled, and the riders, resuming their seats, work the pump by means of the pedals. It is claimed that this machine can outstrip any fire engine drawn by horses on the way to a conflagration, and that Its pump la at least as- effective as those of the hand engines used in many towns.

STANDING BEAR WINS LIBERTY BY HABEAS CORPUS WRIT ONCE upon a time a writ of habeas corpus was Invoked in behalf of an Indian and the decision in his case marked a uew epoch in the conduct of our Indian affairs. That man was Standing Bear (Mon-ehu-non-zhin), chief of the Poncas. In 1877 the government decided to remove Standing Bear's people from their ancestral homes in Nebraska to Indian Territory. In spite of his opposition, he and nine other chiefs were taken south to choose a reservation. They would not select a place, whereupon the agent refused them transportation home. At night they slept in haystacks, shivering with the cold. Their only food was raw corn which they found in the fields. Their moccasins wore out. After 50 days they reached the Otoe reservation in Nebraska and as they walked Into the agent's office they left bloody footprints on t h e floor. Ten days later they rode wearily into their home camp on ponies which the Otoes had given them. In their absence an official of the Indian department arrived to remove the Poncas by force. Accepting the inevitable, Standing Bear prepared to retrace his steps. After a terrible journey, during which two of Standing Bear's children died, the discouraged Poncas settled in their new homes. Within a year a third of the tribe perished. Then Standing Bear's favorite son died. In, January, 1879, he took the bones of his sons, and started once more to Nebraska. Two months later they arrived destitute at the Omaha reservation. They borrowed land and seed from the Omahas and were preparing to put in a crop when soldiers appeured to arrest and return them to Indian Territory. Then public sentiment intervened. Two white lawyers offered to defend the Poncas and sued out a writ of habeas corpus. Although attorneys for the Indian department contended that Indiana were "not persons within the meaning of the law," Judge Dundy ruled against them and ordered the prisoners released. "Once I avenged ray wrongs with the tomahawk," said Standing Bear," but the white man's way Is better. I lay the tomahuwk down forever." By this time Standing Bear's case had attracted national attention and a senate Investigation of the Ponca removal resulted In restoring them to their old homes. Here September 8, 1008, Standing Bear died at the age of eighty years. True Detective Stories T H E IRON COURAGE O F C H I E F DULL KNIFE Frtekltt Potlttv *Wls> as4v#^tf FsiBiBBl^tfnl by tHeUi QKf tffid foe ON THE morning of September 10, 1878, western military telegraph wires were humming with the news "Dull Knife has Jumped the reservation." Army officers who had fought him knew what this meant. For Morning Star (Wo-he-hlv)— Dull Knife was the translation of his Sioux name— had proved his mettle one cold winter morning in 1877 when Col. Ranald Mackenzie attacked his camp so suddenly that the Cheyennes could only snatch up their rifles and put on their moccasins before the soldiers were upon them. All that bitter day, with the thermometer 20 below zero, these naked warriors had fought off Mackenzie until their women and children had escaped. After Dull Knife surrendered, he and his people were sent to Indian Territory where they rapidly sickened and died, until two-thirds of their number had perished. In vain Dull Knife appealed to the government to return his people to their old homes. Finally In desperation he and Little Wolf, the Junior war chief, resolved to lead them from their hated reservation. But Dull Knife and a part of the tribe were captured. They were taken to Fort Robinson, Neb., and imprisoned in an old barracks. Then they were told that they must be returned to Indian Territory, Dull Knife, a majestic figure in spite of his worn moccasins and a ragged blanket, said: "Tell the Great Father that Dull Knife and his people ask only to end their days In the North, where they were born. Tell them we want no more war. But if he tries to send us back, we will butcher each other with our own knives! I have spoken!" On January 5, 1879, the Indians refused to start south. On the fifth night they made a desperate attempt to escape. Armed with a few knives and guns they tried to cut their way through the soldiers, who swarmed about them. Some were shot down; others, among them, Dull Knife, escaped. After 18 days of wandering, during which they kept alive by eating their moccasins and a few roots, Dull Knife and his Immediate family reached the camps of his friends, the Sioux After four years the old chief was allowed to return to his home In Montana, where he died In 1886. He lies buried on a high butte near the valley of the Rosebud river In the land he loved so well and fought so hard to regain. MIDNIGHT MURDER Copyright by The Wheeler Syndic*t«. Inc. 4f*T"*HEN the only thing you have J[ to go on Is the fact that several people In Grafton street recall having heard a cry a few nights ago, and the old man hasn't been seen since?" "That's all, chief. If it weren't-for the scream In the night—and they all agree that it was a blood-curdling cry —it would look like a plain case of disappearance. We've been all through the house, but of course we couldn't search it thoroughly without a regular warrant, and there's no ground for issuing one. Epstein may have wandered off somewhere to get away from his wife. She's a regular hellion, they say—though she was nice as pie to us." John "Kane, chief inspector of Scotland Yard, rubbed his chin thoughtfully. % T i l take a run down to Grafton street myself as soon as I have gotten these reports out of the way," stated Kane. "In the meantime keep an eye on the house, and let me know if anything develops," When Kane approached the house on Grafton street later in the evening, one of his men reported that there were indications of activity- Inside the place. "Looks like they were getting ready to go away or something,'* said the operative. "There's a dray coming up now. Wouldn't be surprised if the woman, alarmed at our snooping around, is preparing for a getaway." Kane said nothing, but edged closer to the house. From the meager information at his disposal, he was not at all Inclined to credit the theory that a crime had been committed. But there would be no harm in looking things, over, particularly If Mrs. Epstein was Intending to move. From the driver of the dray, Kane obtained the information that the luggape was to be taken to Charing Cross thence to be shipped across the channel. The tags were on the various articles, and it was not until the last piece was brought out of the house that Kane noted anything out of the ordinary. Then he motioned to his men to close in. "Take that chest back into the house," he ordered. "Let's see^what's In it!" "What right have you to give such orders?" demanded a voice from the doorway, and the Scotland Yard man, looking up, caught a glimpse of a tall, gaunt woman glaring down at him from the threshold. "The right of an officer of the crown to investigate suspicious circumstances," retorted Kane. "I happen to he the chief inspector of Scotland Yard, and, as your husband recently disappeared, I desire to know what is In that box." It was in the dim. barely-furnished parlor of the house that Kane directed the rhest to be placed. The flickering yellow light of a single gas jet cast a ghostly Illumination over the scene, and even Kane's Iron nerves were shocked when the lid of the box wns thrown back, and what appeared to he a ghost sat up and leered out Into the room ! It was the body of the missing man, the upper portion of the trunk attached to the lid of the box in such a manner that, when the top was thrown back, the body sprang Into a sitting; posture, as if it were alive again. Even Mrs. Epstein, hardened as she was, cried out at the apparition and then fainted away. "Quick !" directed Kane. "Find out how the man was killed!" "A thrust of some long, thin instrument through the heart," reported one of the detectives. "A drop of blood on his chest is the only indication of foul play, but that's what did it, all right. Not a stiletto or a dagger, though. The puncture isn't large enough for that." The chief inspector examined the wound for a moment carefully, and then, stepping across to where the fainting woman lay, began to fumble with something In her hair. '"Throw some water in her face," he ordered, "and then stand back. I want to find out something before she gets a chance to recover her nerve." As the woman's eyes opened, she became aware, first, of the body of her dead husband staring at her with sightless, accusing eyes. TTien she saw the chief inspector, standing In front of her, examining under a pocket magnifying glass—something that shone and glittered in the light of the Jet directly above it. An instant later Kane stood over her, his finger Indicating the thing he held In his hand. "Why did you kill your husband at midnight, four days ago?" he demanded. "Yes, you did! There's no use denying it! We have witnesses who heard the scream. We have proof that you were alone in the house with him. We know that he had a considerable sum of money concealed on the premises snd"—here his voice became the voice of doom—"I have here the weapon with which the murder was committed— your hatpin, with a tiny bit of the dead man's blood clotted close to the head where you neglected to wipe it off!" Some months later, Mrs. Epstein was sentenced to penal servitude for life, while the hatpin was added to that gruesome collection which adorns the archives of Scotland Yard. No Thanks.

The war cost the lives of 50,680 Canadians killed in action, while 40,- XX) more died from indirect causes. The percentage increase In population s the same us that for Australia, while the increase for New Zealand 20 per •ent was very little behind.

Gold teeth are going out of style, according to practitioners and dental experts. The present trend is to preserve the tooth to make It look a s near as possible like it was originally. If this can't be done the offending molar or Incisor must be pulled out. The idea of pulling teeth Is something comparatively new in American dentistry. The tendency was to save the tooth at all costs. But dentists have discovered that gold crowns are unhealthful and permit foreign matter to get Into the teeth. Bridge work also is not as popular as it once was. To make a bridge two good teeth were filed down as anchors for the mass of gold In between. If the bridge failed the two good teeth on the ends went with it. Now dentists recommend a plate of false teeth Instead of the bridge. These being removable, are easily kept clean. The dental science la now spending its energies more on serviceable plates rather than on bridges or crowns.—New York Sun. Firms T h a t Have Died Since Drop in Prices Would Make Large Funeral. The manufacture of wooden heels In Chile is an Industry of Increasing importance. Suppose a funeral passed your house with 38,000 hearses, eudi liesirso containing an Amerinm business firm. It would be impressive, wouldn't it? It would also give you tin accurate idea of the number of business failures since prices begun to tumble in May, 11)20, notwlihstiindihg they haven't tumbled so very much for some tilings. But don't get gloomy over It. Standing on curbstones watching their brethren go to I>nn 1¾ Bradstreet'a cemetery, are nearly 2,000,IKKI business organizations that have weathered the storm. In two years of severe depression only one business in every fifty-three bus failed. The percentage of fanners that have gone broke Is larger. Business failures have totaled about $1',00,000,000 a year In liabilities. Assets have averaged about enough to pay 50 per cent on the dollnr. The net loss has been about $300,000,000 a year, or about $3 a year for each American. Might be much worse, remarks Capper's Weekly. New Orleans is to use poison gas in an effort to exterminate rats.

Dexter was loaded up with Ann Arbor und Stockbridge men, including pitcher Lowe of Stockbridge, who haa helped thut team to many victories this season. He wugn't so very efficient against Pinckney however, a* Ihey harvested 12 safeties from his delivery, including three two-baggers by Roche Shehan. Pinckney solved his delivery for six clean hits in the nr^st inning, which netted four tallies. After that Pinckney wus always in the lead although through errors the Dexter aggregation were allowed to creep up near the danger line. The game was interesting at all times and Pinckney fans are pleased with the result, as Dexter had won two games! here early in the season before the home team was fairly organized. Pinckney goes to Dexter next Sunday for the fourth game. The batteries were: • Lowe and Raymond for Dexter- Griffin and McClear for Pinckney. A GOOD EXAMPLE • Highway Commissioner P.

So it was proposed that 70 tickets for the St. Mary's picinc dinner, August 9th, he laid aside for that purpose. Rev. Crowe heartily agreed to the proposal and the tickets for these city boys' eats are now on sale at C. W.- Barry's drug store, and anyone who wishes to transfer one of those fine oldstyle chicken dinners from the table to a hungry city lad's interior *nay ifeMO-by buying a ticket. These boys are some of the unfortunate city dwellers who have not seen the best of life and there is no ijiu'stion but that they will appreciate and enjoy the hospitality of the ticket buyers. Just step in Barry's drugstore, jfive your name and buy as many tickets at JJ5 cents each as your benevolent spirit and financial ability will allow. One lady told the Dispatch she has always attended the annual St. Mary's picincs and expected to do so this year but that she would furnish two city waifs'their dinner that day even if she had to remain hungry herself. on CLARK FAMILY REUNION For Saturday, Aug. 5, Only • Guests to the number of sixty three gathered at Pine Lake, near Lansing, on July 30 to hold the first annual reunion of the Clark family.

U. S. POWERLESS, SAYS PRESIDENT HARDING TELLS GOVERNOR T H A T GOVERNMENT CANNOT INTERFERE NOW. " JAMES H, WILKERS0N MINERS REFUSE STATE'S PLEA President of Union Refuses to Cooperate In the Plan Suggested By Gov. Groesbeck. Lansing—A letter from President Harding declares ln effect that the Federal Government is powerless to interfere with the hostile attitude of the national organization of the United Mine Workers toward Independent local agreements; that at present nothing can be done except to enable men, willing to work, to work in safety, and that the big issue in the coal strike dispute is national dictation "unhesitatingly assumed by the mine workers" which must be taken care of by legislation. The President's letter was in reply to a telegram sent by Gov. Groesbeck when he Informed the President that he was asking John L. Lewis, president of the United Workers, to grant Michigan miners permission to enter agreements independently of their national affiliation and return to work. The Governor answered the President's letter by writing that he could not concede that the Federal Government has not the power "to protect our citizens from the embarrassing situation that faces us." President T. Leo Jones, of the Michigan mine workers, rtfused to co-operigan mine workers, refused to co-operate in the move suggested by the ference at Saginaw last week. The refusal was brought about partly by the miners' disgruntlement over alleged discrimination by Michigan consumers in favor of Kentucky and Pennsylvania producers, Jones hinted. Besides refusing to order his men, back to work under the arrangement suggested by the governor, Jones declined to ask John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, for permission to accede to the governor's request. "Governor Groesbeck is simply asking the Michigan miners to dig their own graves," he declared in a statement issued after the conference. Items Of Interest in World's News New photograph of James H.

On the second floor, to the east of the room which had been, his father's, was a bedroom which evidently had been kept as a guest chamber; Alan carried his suitcase there and made ready for bed. The sight of Constance Sherrill standing and watching after him in concern as he started back to this house, came to him again and again and, alBO, her flush when she had spoken of the friend against whom Benjamin Corvet had warned her. Who was he? It had been impossible at that moment for Alan to ask her more; besides, if he had asked and she had told him, he would have learned only g name which he could tfot place yet la any connection with her or with Benjamin Corvet Whoever he was, it was plata that Constance Bherrill "thought of him;" lucky man, Alan said to himself. Yet Corvet had warned her not to think of him. . . . Alan turned back his bed. It had been for him a tremendous day. Barely twelve hours before he had come to that house, Alan Conrad from Blue Rapids, Kan., now . ' . . phrases from what Lawrence Sherrill had told him of his father were running through his mind as ho opened the door of the room to be able to bear any noise in Benjamin Corvet's house, of which ho was aole protector. The emotion roused by his first sight of the lake went through him again as he opened the window to the east Now—he wag in bed—he seemed to bo standing, a specter before a man blaspheming Benjamin Corvet and the souls of men dead. "And the Bale above the eye 1 . . . The bullet got yon 1 . . . So It's you that got Ben 1 . . . Hi get you I . . . You can't save the Miwaka I" The Miwaka 1 The stir of that name wag stronger now even than before; it bad been running through his con. sdousoess almost constantly since he had beard It He jumped up and turned on the light and found a pencil Ho did not know how to spell the name and It wag sot necessary to write It dowa; the name bad* taken on that deflnlteneag and lneffaeeableness of a thing which, once heard, can never agala bo forgotten. But la panic that bo might forget bo wrote It messing at the opening—"Miwaka." It wag a name, of coarse; but the name of what? It repeated and repeated itself to him. after bo got back Into bod, until ltg very Iteration made him drowgy* Outside, the gale whistled aad shrieked. The wind, passing ltg last reoUtanco after Its sweep across the prairies before tt leaped upon the lake, battered and clamored in Its asjtault aboat the house. But as Alan became sleepier, bo board it no longer as It rattled the window* aad howled under tba oavoa aad over the roof, but as out oa the lake, above the roaring and lcacraaealng waves, K whipped and circled with its cam the tee-ghroaded gfetoa of struggling »**pe. So, with the roar of surf sad fata ta big eara, aa went to sleep with the solo conscious connection in nig mind between himself and these people, among whom Benjamin Corvet's summons had brought him, the one name "Miwaka." CHAPTER V I . The Deed In Trust Memory, if Alan could call it that had given him a feeling for ships and for the lake* But these recollections were only what those of a three-years' child might have been. Not only did they refuse to connect themselves with anything else, but by the very finality of their Isolation, they warned him that they—and perhaps a gjew more vague memories of similar sort—were all that recollection ever would give htm. Be caught himself together and turned his thoughts to the approaching visit to Sherrill—and his father's offices. He had accepted Constance SherriU's Invitation to drive him downtown to his destination. Observing the towering buildings to his right he was able to identify sotne of the more prominent structures, familiar from photographs of the city. Constance drove swiftly a few blocks 8herrlll Opened .a Drawer and Took Out a Large, Plain Envelope. down this boulevard; then, with a sudden, "Here we areT she shot the car to the curb and stopped. She led Alan into ope of the tallest aad bestlooking buildings. On several of the doors opening upon the wide marble hall where the elevator left them, Alan saw the names, "Corvet Sherrill and Spearman," Constance led the way on past to a door farther down the corridor, which bore merely the name, "Lawrence Sherrill"; evidently Sherrill, who had Interests aside from the shipping business, had offices connected with but not actually a part of the offices of Corvet Sherrill and Spearman. A girl on guard at the door, saying that Mr. Sherrill had been awaiting Mr. Conrad, opened aa inner door and led Alan into a large, many-wladewed room, where Sherrill was sitting alone before a table-desk. Ho pulled the "visitor*! chair" rather close te his desk and to his owa big leather chair before asking Alan to seat himself. "You wanted to tall aae, or ask me, something last sight my daughter has told me," Sherrill said cordially. "I'm sorry I wasn't homo whea you came back." "I wanted to ask yon, Mr. Sherrill," Alan said, "about those facta In regard to Mr. Corvet which you mentioned to me yesterday but did not explain. You said it would aot aid me to know them; but I found certain things in Mr. Corvet's bouse last night which made me want to know, if I could, everything you could tell me." Sherrill opened a drawer and took out a large, plain envelope. "On the day after your father disappeared," he said, "but before I knew ho was gone—or before any one except my daughter felt any alarm about him —I received a short note from him. The note was agitated, almost incoherent It told mo he had sent for you— Alan Conrad, of Blue Rapids, Kansas —but spoke of you ag though you were some one I ought to have known gbout. and commended yoa to my care. The remainder of it wag merely an agitated, almost Indecipherable farewell to me. When I opened the envelope, a key had fallen out The note made no reference to the key, but comparing it with one I had to my pocket, I saw that it appeared to bo a key to a safety deposit box in the vaults of a company where wo both bad boxes. "The note, taken in connection with my daughter's alarm about him, made tt so plain that something serious bad happened to Corvet that my first thought was merely for him. Corvet was not g man with whom one could readily connect the thought of suicide; but Alan, that was the idea I had. I hurried at once to his bouse, bat the boQ was not answered, aad I could aot gat la. His servaat, Waasaquasa. rata very few friends, and the few times he has been away from home of recent* years have been> when he visited an acquaintance of his—the head porter in a South Side hotel. I went to the telephone In the house next door and called the hotel and found Wassaquam there. I told him over the telephone only that something was wrong, and hurried to my own home to get the key, which J had, to the Corvet house ; but when I came back and let myself Into the house, I found it empty and with no sign of anything having happened. "The next morning. Alan, I went to the safe deposit vaults ae> 4oon aa they were open. I presented the numbered key and was told that it belonged to a box rented by Corvet, and that Corvet had arranged about three days before for me to have access to the box If I presented the key. I had only to sign my nam* In their book and open the box. In It, Alan, I found the pictures of you which I showed you yesterday and the very strange communications that I am going to show you now." Sherrill opened the long envelope, from wUch several thin, folded papers fell. He picked up the largest yf thege, which consisted of several sheets fastened together with a clip, and handed It to Alan without comment. Alan, aa he Looked at It and turned the pages, saw that it contained two columns of typewriting carried from page to page after the manner of an account The column to the left was an Inventory of property and profits and Income by months and years, and the one to the right was a list of losses and expenditures. Beginning at an Indefinite day or month in the year 1896, there was set down in a lump sum what was indicated as the total of Benjamin Corvet's holdings at that time. To this, In Bometlmes undated items, the Increase had been added. In the opposite column beginning apparently from the same date in 1895, were the missing man's expenditures. Alan having ascertained that the papers contained only this account, looked up questloningly to Sherrill; but Sherrill, without speaking, merely handed him the second of the papers. Alan unfolded It und saw that it was a letter written in the same hand which had written the summons he had received In Blue Rapids and had made the entries in the little memorandum book of the remittances that had been sen£ to John Welton. It began simply: "Lawrence— • "This will come to you In the event that I am not able to carry out the plan upon which I am now, at last, determined. You will find with this a list of my possessions. Deeds for all real estate executed and complete except for recording of the transfer at the county office; bonds, certificates, and other documents representing my ownership of properties, together with signed forms for their legal transfer to you, are In this box. These properties, In their entirety, I give to you ID trust to hold Tor the young man now knowa as Alan Conrad of Blue Rap- Ids, Kan., to deliver any part or all over to him or to continue to hold It all In trust for him aa you shall consider to be to his greatest advantage. "This for the reasons which I shall have told to you or him—I cannot know which one of you now, nor do I know how I shall tell It. But when you learn, Lawrence, think as well of me as you can and help him to be charitable to me. "With the greatest affection, "BENJAMIN CORVET." Alan, as he finished reading, looked up to Sherrill. bewildered and dtuted. "What does it mean, Mr, Sherrill?— Does It mean that he has gone away and left everything he had—everything to me?" "If Mr. Corvet does not return, and I do not receive any other instructions, I shall take over his estate, as he has nstructed, for your advantage." "And, Mr. Sherrill, he didn't tell you "~hy? .This is all you know?" "Yes; you have everything now. All wo can do, Alan, Is to search for him In every way we can. There will be others searching for him too now; for information of his disappearance has got out. There have been reporters at the office this morning making inquiries, and his disappearance will be in tbe afternoon papers." Sherrill put the papers back in their envelope, and the envelope back Into the drawer, which ha rolockod. "I went over all this with Mr. Spearman this morning," bo said. "He is as much at a loss to explain it as I am." He was silent tor a few moments. "The transfer of Mr. Corvet's propertlee to me for you," he said suddenly, "Includes, us you have seen. Corrot's interest in the firm of 'Corvet,. Sherrill k Spearman.' I went very carefully through tbe deeds and transfers In tbe deposit box, and It was plain that while be had taken great care with tbe forms of transfer for all the properties, bo had taken particular paiag with whatever related to his holdings In thlg company and to his shipping interests. If I make over the properties to yoa, Alan, I shall begin wtta thooa; for it seems to mo taat your father was particularly anxious that you should take a personal aa well as a financial place among tba men who control the traffic of tba lakes. I have told Spearman that this la my Intention. He has aot beea. able to see it my way as yet; but he may change his views, I think, after meet* ing you." Sherrill got up. Alan arose a tittle unsteadily. Tbe list of properties he had read and tbe letter and SherriU's statement portended so much that its meaning could not all come to him at once. He followed Sherrill through a short private corridor, flanked with files lettered "Corvet Sherrill, and Spearman," into the large room he had seen when be came in with Constance. They crossed this, and Sherrill, without knocking, opened the door of the office marked, "Mr. Spearman." Alan, looking on past Sherrill AS the door opened, saw that there were some half dozen men in the room, smoking and talking. His gaze went swiftly on past these men to the one who, half seated on the top of the flat desk, had been talking to them ; and his pulse closed upon his heart with a shock ; he started, choked with astonishment, then swiftly forced himself under control. For this was the mtin whom hi had met and whom he had fought in Benjamin Corvet's house the night before —the big man surprised in bis blasphemy of Corvet and of souls "in h—1" who, at eight of an apparition with « bullet hole above its »ye, had cried out in his fright, "You got Ben ! But yon won't get me—d—n you t D—n you !" Alan's shoulders drew up slightly, jnd the muscles of his hands tightened, as Sherrill led him to this man. Sherrill put his hand on the man's shoulder; his other hand was still oo Alan's arm. "Henry," he said to the man, "Ibis Is Alan Conrad. Alan, I want you Ta know my partner, Mr. Spearman." Spearman nodded an acknowledge inent, but did not put oat his hand) hla eyes—steady, bold, wgggferai eyes —seemed measuring Alan attentively i and (n return Alan, with big fuse, was measuring him. , /dl That Stretch W i t h o u t A n y Rubl CHAPTER V«U Mr, o»*rvat's Partner. The Instant of meeting, whe* Ala* recognized in •JherrlM's partner, the man with whom he had fought in Cor« vet's house, was one of swift readjust ment of all his thought—adjustment to a situation oi which he could not even have dreai>ed, and which lefl him breathless. But for Spearman. obviously, it was aot that. Following bis noncommittal nod of acknowledg« meot of SherriU's Introduction and higi first steady scrutiny of Alan, the big, handsome man swung Mm eel f off from the desk on whlc* bo sat and leaned agaln»t it, facing them mora directly. "Oh, yes--Com ad," he said, HU tone was hearty; to It Alan could re*» ognlze only so much of reserve ai might ba expected from Sherrlllt partner who had takes an attitude of opposition.

REFUNDING CAN NOW GO ON Financial Exp«rt« Believe England's Stand Will Do Much to Restore Confidence and General Stability in the European Countries. By JAMES P. HORNADAY Washingtou.—The British empire will not repudiate any part of the debt It Incurred during the World war. Notice that this policy will be adhered to has been received by the World war foreign debt commission, created by the congress last February. The attitude of Great Britain as set forth in Its Informative communication to the flebt commission is that International credit Is one of the material foundations of preseut-duy civilization and that this credit could not be maintained in the future If any first class nation should repudiate its war debt. The decision of Great Britain—It should probably be referred to as a policy—was not a surprise to the foreign debt commission, but It has, of course, given the members of the commission genuine satisfaction. Great Britain has not up to this time, it is understood, made any definite promise to pay at a certain time. The debt commission has unofficial information to the effect that an Interest payment will be made during the present summer or fall and that It Is altogether likely that the interest on the British debt will be paid In full. Recently dispatches from London have indicated that the financiers In England are working out a plan under which the principal of the war debt would be paid some time during tfre present fiscal year, that Is to say, before June 30, 192.3. The authorities here who are dealing with the subject are not Inclined to credit this information. If they understand the British financial situation, the principal, which amounts to $4,166,318,358, cannot be paid now unless Great Britain can borrow the money with which to pay it, and they have no knowledge of sources from which Great Britain could borrow such an enormous sum. England's Decision Most Important. The authoritative announcement I that Great Britain Intends to pay will, It is believed by persons who are competent to discuss the subject, have a far-reaching influence on the financial and economic situation throughout the world. It is assumed here, In the absence of any authoritative information from England, that the British government, having decided to pay up In full as soon as possible, will expect the European nations that owe her also to pay. A considerable part of the money which the United States advanced to Great Britain during the war was lent to smaller European nations by Great Brltuln. These nations. it is assumed here, will be called on by Great Britain to settle up when they are able to do so. France, whose war debt tn the United States amounts to $3,350,702,983, not counting unpaid Interest, would hardly propose repudiation of any part of that debt after Great Britain had come out for n paid-in-full policy. It is believed here that the stand of Great Britain in favor of no repudiation of war debts will expedite the work of the foreign debt commission. There would seem to be no real obstacle now in the way of going ahead with the development of plans for refunding war debts. The director of finance of the French treasury, Jean V. rarmentler, who Is here for preliminary conferences, with the debt commission, has not voiced any desire on ihe part of France to have her debt to this government scaled down. A little later Great Britain will take up the refunding question with the debt commission, and the expectation now Is that a general refunding plan w i l l ^ e agreed on. Fixed Policy Will Help Europe. American bankers who have recently spent a good deal of time In Europe ire saying to members of the foreign jebt commission that the financial situation throughout Europe will undoubtedly be stimulated by tn"e adoption of a fixed policy for dealing with the war debts. According to these bankers, lack of confidence Is largely responsible for the unsatisfactory financial condition existing throughout Europe. Up to this time persons and concerns with large financial responsibilities have not known what to expect In the future. They have heard much talk durtng the last two years about the cancellation or repudiation of all war debts, and this sort of talk has not served to stabilize conditions. No one should set the impression lat, because Great Britain has let It knowwn that she Intends to pay United States every dollar she this government, the world's rat war debt is to b» paid with- I next few years. Jt Is barely that Great Britain might be »h$*V»%V*Eake a considerable payment Mt f i r f i t a d p a l during the present fiteat year, but the debt commission ' w o u l d be surprised If that should be done. A* for the other nations that owe t h e United States, there Is no expectation b t r e whatever of getting gnytfciag OB account In the near fut o r e What t h e new turn of affairs amounts to is that the way, apparently, is opened for refunding. Apathy on Ship Subsidy. The members of the bouse of representatives who were permitted to rvturn to their homes ostensibly for the purpose of assessing the attitude of their constituents toward ship subsidy legislation have not thus fur forwarded any information to the national capital that would tend to indicate that there is any great public demand for this legislation at this time. In fact, nothing on which judgment could properly be based has been received from the representatives, since they returned to their homes. In explanation of this, It may be said that the legislators have not had time to make the investigations which they wete requested to make and report ba*k, and that It may be reasonably assumed that later on they will be uble to submit reports that will be helpful to the "powers that be." When It was decided that the members- of the lower branch of the congress should have a vacation of six weeks an official statement was put out to the effect that since there seemed to be some question in the minds of some of the representatives as to whether ship subsidy legislation should be enacted during this session of the congress, it seemed advisable that the legislators should go home and canvass the situation first hand. In this connection the view was put forth that^the house of representatives and Indeed the congress as a whole was overwhelmingly in favor of the administration's' subsidy program, but that some members of the house were Inclined to be timid about voting for the legislation until they could talk with the folks back home. T h e administration in agreeing to the vacation arrangement appeared to be very certain that a little mixing with the folks at home would convince the timid members that the country U ready for ship subsidy legislation. * Were to Do Missionary Work. There was much talk about the time the arrangements for the recess were made that most of the Republican members of the house of representatives were to go home for a brief spell as missionaries, so to speak, for t h e cause of ship subsidy. They were to take along with them all the printed arguments prepared by the shipping board during the last few months In favor of the subsidy program. They were to submit these arguments to their constituents and were to undertake a sort of- nationwide campaign In the Interest of subsidy legislation and then return to Washlgton and rush through the administration bill. If any of the representatives are engaged in carrying out this program the fact has not been reported back to the national capital. Information received here from various sections of the country indicates, to the contrary, that the representatives are at work on their polltlcnl fences with scarcely a mention of ship subsidy legislation. Obviously, the administration is disappointed because the nationwide campaign was not put under way. If the Republican representatives had carried out the program that was arranged i for them, the administration would have supplemented that program by sending forth several of its ablest speakers to tell the country how vital it Is at this time that the pending subsidy legislation be enacted. Albert D. i I.asker, chairman of the shipping board, had planned an extensive speaking tour, but It was since said at ! the shipping board that pressing business here may prevent him from taking a long trip In the Interest of subsidy legislation. Don't Want the issue This Year. The fact is that the members of the house of representatives, nearly all of whom are candidates for re-eiectlou, do not want the ship subsidy Issue raised in this year's congressional campaign. The same Uilng is true of practically all of the senators who are up for re-election. This statement applies to Republican congressmen. rather than to the Democrats who are seeking re-election, though some of the Democrats are not at all anxious to deal with the subsidy Issue in the campaign. The failure of the Republican representatives to get In behind a natgSnn-wide propaganda in support of | tlie administration's subsidy bill during their leave of ahsenre from Washington is generally regarded here as an indication that the house of representatives will shy away from a vote on subsidy legislation before the election. If there Is any one thing President Harding desires above another at this time in the way of legislation. It Is the passage of the administration's subsidy bllL He has said publicly that If the congress should not give the subject reasonable consideration at ; this session, he would call an extra session, provided, of course, there was time for an extra session to convene between the time of the adjournment of the present session and the opening of the regular session December 4. | True I Detective Stories Throwing Clothes Out Divorces Man.

There la no court of appeal* BY PERSONS UNKNOWN Copyright by Tbe V l t n l i r 8ynd.lca.te, l a c f ^ T T IS absolutely essential," said ^ the secretary of treasury, glancing across his desk at the short, ruddy-complexioned, rather stout man who sat opposite him, "that the persons responsible for these lynchlngs at Versailles be arrested, tried and convicted. I don't think It is overstating the matter to say that this case is more important than any counterfeiting plot or smuggling scheme which the department has ever worked on, for the governor of Indiana has applied to the federal government for troops to handle the uprising which threatens to sweep over that part of the country, and the entire state Is taking sides in the matter. "Naturally we do not wish to send troops to Versailles unless It is absolutely necessary. It would only lead to additional bloodshed and disorder. What we need Is someone who has the nerve to go out there, Investigate the case from every possible angle and make a report as to the persons responsible for the lynchlngs. That's why I sent for you." The man on the other side of the desk smiled and tapped thoughtfully with the forefinger of a hand which indicated strength and determination of character. "Of course," continued the secretary, "I must warn you that the case Is one that Is apt to prove dangerous. More so, In fnct, than any tiling you have ever attempted. Compared to It. the roundup of a gang of moonshiners Is child's plfry—for here you will have to work entirely In the dark, one man against practically an entire state. A single slip would mean your death, and would force the government to take steps which might lead to protracted bloodshed." "In which case," replied the other. "It would be well for rak to get out to Versailles as soon as I can. The longer we wait the less chance there Is of success. Don't make any attempt to hear from me or to locate me for at least a month. If, at the end of that time, you haven't received some kind of a report, you will know that they've got me. But, somehow, I've got a hunch that they won't." It was two days later that the train which stopped at Versailles, Ind., halted Just long enough to permit a single passenger to alight—a man who was short and rather plump and with a ruddy complexion, a man who registered at the local hotel as "James M. P.eck" and who allowed It to hecome known that he, was an Insurance agent, representing one of the best-known companies in the country. But Versailles, as Beck soon discovered, was a poor field for life insurance at that time. There was only one topic of conversation In which the natives were Interested: the lynching of the five prisoners who had been taken from Jail and murdered by an Infuriated mob. This, coupled with open threats of defiance against the governor's edict that the guilty men must be punished, kept the town in a continual state of simmering, seething unrest—punctuated by frequent statements that any state or government official who tried to find out the names of the men Implicated In the lynching would be shot on sight. Beck, apparently, wasn't In the least Interested In the local turmoil. He had been sent to Versailles to sell insurance, and he was determined to <*ell It. no matter how many people he had to interview. The fact that he was a stranger led. of course, to Immediate suspicion of his motives. and some two weeks passed before he was able to allay this. About the end of the third week matters were brought to a head by reason of a wire which Beck sent to New York, a dispatch which was In code and which caused the operator to spread the report that the "Hie Insurance acrent" was a detective In disguise. Getting wind of this and realizing that he must take some radical step to offset suspicion. Beck ap prbached the man who appeared to he the leader of the trouble-faction. The agent explained to him that he was sretting tired of the quarters at the hotel, and wondered If It would be possible to secure lodgings in> some private house where he would be s little more comfortable. "Certainly," said the native. l1 reckon we can put you up all right." And he smiled at the thought of this man whom he suspected placing him self entirely In hts power. That, how ever, was precisely what Beck wished, and It only took a couple of days of clever acting to convince th* local leader that he was only what he appeared to be—a slow, plodding and conscientious Insurance agent. It was in the house of the most dangerous citizen of Versailles, under the very eyes of his associates, that the. stranger secured the Information he wanted and put It together, piece by piece, until he had the entire story. It was precisely a month to the day after the conversation in the office of the secretary of the treasury, when that official received a wire from Chicago stating that "all facts about Versailles lynching now In hand. Complete list of men Implicated follows by mall." The name signed to the wire was "William J. Boms, chief of the Urdted Stages secret sertlce." I Qtoriesof ° GREAT INDIANS By ELMO SCOTT WATSON \ Copyrajnt, 1922. Weitara N«wap«.p«r Unioc LITTLE WOLF, C H I E F OF T H E NORTHERN CHEYENNSS MUCH has been written about Chief Joseph's retreat which won for him the name of the Indian Xenophon. Little Wolf (Oh kum hkakit), chief of the northern Cheyeanes, might well lay claim to that title, for in many respects his dash for freedom was even more remarkable than that of the Nez Perce, More than 13,000 soldiers at one time or another tried to atop the flight of Little Wolf and his little band of 70 men across the flat plains of Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. "There never was such another journey since the Greeks marched to the sea," says George Bird Grinn'ell, the ablest chronicler of this splendid migration. When Little Wolf and his companion- in-arms, Dull Knife, resolved, In defiance of the government, to lead their people back to Montana, their ayent in Indian Territory tried to persuade them to stay one year more. However, the Cheyennes started and soldiers were sent after the fugitives. Within a week they had fought them five times, but failed to stop them. Then the whole available force of the United States army in the West was called Into action and six lines of military barrier were thrown out to stop the tieelng Cheyennes. The last line was far up In Montana, showing what the army thought of these hardriding, hard-fighting warriors. Stopping to fight when they were attacked, then gotng on after they had beaten off the soldiers,-Little Wolfs people kept on until they had cut through three of the military lines. Here Dull Knife and Little Wolf separated. Dull Knife was captured and imprisoned at Fort Robinson, but Little Wolf kept oneuntil he reached the sand hills of Nebraska. The soldiers were unable to find him. Early in the spring he took up his journey again and his band finally camped on the Little Missouri river In Montana. He had reached his homeland at last. Here he was discovered by Lieut. W. P. Clark, loved and respected by all the Cheyennes as "White Hat," their friend. Persuaded by Clark, Little Wolf went with him to Fort Keogh where he surrendered to General Miles. The general invited him to enlist as a scout and In spite of the hardships which he had just passed through, Little Wolf accepted the Invitation and proved a valuable ally against the hostile Sioux. Little Wolf was finally settled on the Lame Deer reservation and died November 14, 1904. CHIEF OURAY, T H E DICTATOR OF THE UTES "To the Chiefs, Headmen and Utea of tha White River Agency: You are hereby requested and commanded to cease hostilities against the whites, Injuring no Innocent person or any other further than to protect your own lives and properties from unlawful and unauthorized combinations and desperadoes, as anything further will ultimately end In dls-( aster to all parties. (Signed) "OURAY." SUCH is a document unique in Indian history. No other Indian chief had a secretary to whom he dictated orders and there Is no other case on record of a chief calling upon his warriors in this manner to lay down their arms after they had shed white blood. It is evidence of Ouray's greatness that his command was obeyed immediately. In 1879 Agent N. C. Meeker had trouble with the White River Utes and called for troops to protect him. Maj. T. T. Thornburgh with a force of 150 men marched to his relief. The Utes took this as a declaration of war and attacked them on the Milk river In northwestern Colorado. Part of them besieged the soldiers, killing 13, Including the commander, and wounding 48. Others attacked the agency, murdered Meeker and nine other white men, taking five women and children captives. Then came Ouray's message and the "Ute war" was over. Ouray, "The Arrow" was born In Taos, N. M., in 1834. He was baptized by a Jesuit priest and educated In a little Mexican school a t Taos where he learned the Spanish tongue. In 1850 he returned to the Utes who were then engaged In a bitter struggle with the Navajoes, Cheyennes and Arapahoes. One day a war party of 30 Utes led by Ouray was attacked by 800 Arapahoes. The chief rallied his warriors, formed them in a hollow square and then l i f e fight lasting 14 hours they finally beat off their assailants. Soon after this Ouray's only son was captured by the Arapahoes. From that day the Ute chief never allowed his tribe to rest from hostility toward them. In later years he appealed to the government to restore hts son to him, but the boy had become so much an Arapahoe that he refused to come. Because of Ouray's knowledge of Spanish he was made the government Interpreter to the Utes In-1856 and became bend chief soon afterwards. His friendship toward the whites was unwavering and he adopted some of their ways. He had a well-cultivated funn on which he built a comfortable house and there he died Au guat 24 1830. ~ 3 THE , KITCHEN CABINET Copyright, 1911.

MORE ABOUT RAW FOODS The raw-food people never have colds, fevers, torpid livers, stomach troubles, nervousness or any number of common ailments that the out-of-date o r d i - nary cooked food eater has, they tell us. The raw - food movement deserves at least a fair trial, for it seems to be the remedy for many ills. Fat people grow thin, thin people grow fat, and the muddy skin of the meat-eater becomes clear and bright. Who wouldn't eat raw beets, carrots and peas If she finds herself growing gracefully slender, or who wouldn't like the feeling of youth and freshness flowing through the* blood and limbering up the muscles. These foods when carefully prepared and balanced will convince the most predjudiced that they are ail that they have been called. The amount that a raw-fooder eats Is small; he is quickly satisfied. The reason Is that the stomach seems to know that it has enough and telegraphs the fact to the taste" and be finds himself satisfied. With a good meal of raw foods yon have a sensation of taste never before experienced and yon feel you are eating one of the most delicious of meals. You assimilate every bit. find yourself feeling good after the meal, brain clear, wits nimble, and when retiring time comes, sleep like the proverbial log. There really Is something worth while In t h i s ; try IL As a child, didn't you like to go Into the garden and pull the sweet turnips and carrots and eat your fill?

(Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) A net increase of 14.5 per cent In the Dumber of young pigs produced this spring In the Corn Belt states Is shown In a special pig survey just completed by the United States Department of Agriculture. This Increase may overcome the present shortage of meat stocks, the department states. The survey shows a gross increase of 22.8 per cent ID the number of spring litters this year as compared with the number of litters born last spring, but the average number of pigs saved per litter Is 7 per cent less than last spring. The April 1 brood sow report of the department Indicated a net Increase of 15.6 per cent In pig production this spring over last year. The department points out that stocks of pork products other than lard in storage May 1 are 33 per cent less than the five-year average and 26 per cent less than a year ago. Lard stocks May 1 were 16 per cent less than the five-year average and 37 per cent less than on May 1, 1921. Stocks of other meats are correspondingly low. It Is also pointed out that the survey covers numbers of hogs and not weight. The records show that the average weight of hogs marketed has varied as much as 34 per cent, or from 193 to 262 pounds, during the past five years, Many producers have found it profitable to market their hogs early at light weight before the usual run of heuvy hogs later, the department says. If farmers carry out their expressed Intentions with respect to breeding for fall farrowings the total number of sows expected to farrow for the year, including spring and fall farrowings, will be 28 per cent larger than last y*ar. The survey Indicates a prospective Increase of 49 per rent in the fall farrowings In these states over last year. Last year fall farrowings represented 28 per cent of the total farrowings for « ' -i the year, while this year they will probably represent 35 per cent. If the number of pigs saved per litter is aa low as this spring, however, the prospective Increase in number of pigs next fall will be materially reduced. The average number of pigs saved per Utter, as reported for this spring, is 5.66 pigs, compared with 6.1 pigs last spring and 5.9 pigs last fall. Smaller Increases in East and South. The survey In Pennsylvania, New York and Maryland shows an increase of only 5 per cent in the number of litters for the first half of the year, while the total number of pigs saved shows a decrease of 3 per cent from a year ago. The number of sows bred for fall farrowing shows an increase of 23 per cent over the number of sows which farrowed last fall. A total increase of 14 per cent in the number of • letters for the year is indicated provided the intentions of farmers to produce fall pigs are carried out. In the Southern states, including Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, an increase of 5 per cent in the number of spring litters is reported, but the total number of pigs saved' is the same as last year on account of the smaller number of pigs saved per lit ter. These Southern states show an Increase of 27 per cent in the number of sows Intended to be bred for fall farrowing over last year, with a total prospective increase of 11 per cent in the number of litters for the year. < The survey Is based upon about 200,000 schedules received from farmers in the Corn Belt states, which produce about 70 per cent of the pigs in the United States, and from farmers In the eastern and southern states. The schedules were distributed by rural mall carriers to 15 farmers on each rural mail delivery route. It Is planned to make a similar survey in about six months which will be used as a check on the department's estimate, and a-iso Indicate the number of pigs to be produced In the spring of 1923. The figures in the present survey are given below. CORN B E L T S T A T E S S 8-£ s a l 0 ' w ** ^ O u Z e. S Corn Belt States.

Heavy Pieces Should Be Stretched Over Beam or Large Horizontal Pole—Will Last Much Longer If Waterproofed. (Pre»are4 by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Canvas and duck wagon and crop covers and canvas bags are liable to damage through moisture, causing subsequent mildew or rotting unless tbey are dried before being stored, •ays the bureau of chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture. Canvas which has becime wet or even damp should be^ dried as soon aa possible by being spread over a wagon or hung over a fence or large pole until It la thoroughly dry. If the weather Is wet, It may be hung under a shed or in the barn. No can* ,vaa bags, e t c should be folded or stored while damp. Folding of a heavy canvas, especially If It has been stiffened by a waterproofing treatment or by being wet or froaen, may weaken or crack the fabric, earning it to leak. Per this ssjaty canvas whoa not la use should hang over a beam or large horizontal pole, or -should be suspended against the inside of a barn or shed rather than folded. Canvas and duck will give better service and last longer if waterproofed. The United States Department of Agriculture, in Farmers' Bulletin 1157, gives tail directions for waterproofing and mildewproofing cotton duck. The bulletin may be had free on application. PRODUCING CERTIFIED SEED Many Potato Growers W i l l Be Disappointed Because of Raise In Requirements. Probably as a result of the better price received last year for certified seed stock, Maine potato growers this year have listed more than 3.300 acres for inspection of representatives of the State Department of Agriculture. Many of these growers will be disappointed, however, because they have started with stock of no particular merit. Over a aerie* of years an average of 47 per cent of the entries passed the seed-certiflcatlon requirements, but this year the percentage will probably be lower. The mosaic standard has been railed. This year a field having as much as 5 per cenl of mosaic disease Is disqualified foi products* certified aeed. The boat stock grown now Is that from strains Imported from the Canadian prortnet* within the last few years. MM&*$M^ n ! * S J MARKET REPORT X • * * • FURNISHED SY U. ft.

A short sharp cry, a prolonged irritated cry. Restlessness, a constant turning of the head or of the whole boay. fretftiL In these and other ways a baby tells you there is something wrong. Most mothers know that a disordered stomach, or bowels that do not act naturally are the cause of most of baby's sufferings. A call for the doctor is the first thought, but in the event of any delay there should be ready at hand a safe remedy such as Fletcher's Castoria- Castona has been used for baby's ailments for over 30 years and has merited the good will of the fearily physician in a measure not equaled by any other baby's medicine because of its harmlessness and the good results achieved. And remember this: Oastoria is essentially a baby's remedy and not a cureall for every member of the feinily. What mignt help you is too often dangerous when given to a babe.

Then is such a thing as saying too much on tny subject, and the "grand-stand" talker sooner or later becomes a bore. The truth is always welcomed, and the truth reiterated and confirmed is more than welcome—it reaches your innermost soul. Fletcher's Castoria is all its advertising has claimed for i t Scrutiniied . y the microscope of public opinion and used for over thirty years it stands without a peer in the hearts of thoughtful, cautious, discerning Mothers. And once used,-mpther love—there is no substitute for mother love—win scorn to try a "substitute" or a "just-as-good".

Today, Barney Oldfield is known as the "Master Tire Builder." Starting with the crude tires which carried the "999" one mile in sixty .seconds, Oldfield gradually developed his famous Cords—a set of which covered 090 miles at eightyeight miles ah hour without a change. In three years Oldfield tires have won every important tiace on American speedways. They are the only American tires that have ever taken, first place in the French Grand Prix. They have won for three consecutive years in the 500-mile Indianapolis Sweepstakes. So far in 1922, Oldfields have lowered four World's Records and seven track records. The Wichita Test Run gave evidence of Oldfield superiority in touring— when a set of four Cords covered 34,525 rhiles over rutted, frozen, winter roads—a performance attested by the Mayor of Wichita. See your dealer arid get a set of these rugged tires that Barney Oldfield has developed and perfected through a lifetime of practical tire experience.

DEBT CANCELLING NOT CONSIDERED B R I T I S H S U G G E S T I O N IN N O T E G E T S N O F A V O R A B L E R E S P O N S E I N U. 8. AMERICAN ATTITUDE UNCHANGED Secretary Mellon Declares Government W i l l Continue Negotiations for Funding of Foreign Obligations. Washington—Cancellation of interallied indebtedness, as suggested by Great Britain in a recent note to European nations, has no place in the policy of the United States toward war time advances, high treasury officials have declared. In the view of Secretary Mellon, as explained at the treasury, the United State 8 has all to lose and nothing to gain through an all around cancellation of an International war debt and such a suggestion has never been considered by this government. The British note, according to Mellon, in no way changes the attitude ot the United States toward the expected liquidation of foreign indebtedness and will not alter its intention of continuing negotiations for funding the foreign obligation. Latest figures obtained at the treasury department showed the obligations of the various foreign governments to the United States, Including interest, accrued and unpaid, is close to J12,- 000,000,000. Of this amount Great Britain owes $4,746,000,000. The loans of Great Britain to her allies during the war totalled $8,765,- 496,000. This does not include $699,- 840,000 loaned by the British governments to the United States, dominions and colonies. The total loans of the United States under the Liberty loan act, not including unpaid Interest, were $9,434,000,000 so that the original amount of the loans of the British were about equal to those of the United States. Senator McCumber, North Dakota, chairman of the senate finance committee, and second in rank among the Republican members of the influential foreign relations committee, reflected the overwhelming view of the majority in congress. "We will never cancel our war debts," said Senator McCumber. "There is a very pronounced sentiment in the United States that our war debts should be taken up as soon as possible." "I am opposed to cancellation of war debts," said Senator Lodge, Massachusetts, Republican leader in the senate, "I favor liberal termB of settlement, however." FUEL ADMINISTRATORS NAMED State Agencies Co-operate W i t h U. S. in Relieving Coal Shortage. Washington—The appointment of state fuel agencies to co-operate with the federal government in relieving the coal shortage was announced laBt week by Federal Coal Distributor Spencer. William W. Potter, of Hastings, lawyer and member of the state public utilities commission, will have charge of the distribution of all fuel coal which will be shipped into Michigan or mined within the state*, under the direction of the federal fuel administration at Washington and the interstate commerce commission. Mr. Potter was appointed state fuel commissioner by Governor Alex J. Groesbeck. Secretary of Labor Davis issued a statement Tuesday night approving the action of President Lewis of the United Mine Workers in trying to secure a conference with bituminous operators of the central competitive field in Cleveland to end the coal strike. "PLUMB PLAN" AUTHOR IS DEAD Counsel for Railroad Organizations Passes After Long Illness* Washington—Glenn E. Plumb, counsel for the 16 larger railroad organizations and author of the celebrated "Plumb plan" of railroad operation and ownership, died August 1. Death was due to an affection of the heart from which he had suffered for several months. Mr. Plumb, a native of Iowa, came into national prominence in 1918 when he advanced the plan for railroad operation that bears his name as a solution for the problem of poet-war treatment of the transportation lines then under government control and operation. In brief his plan was nationalisation of the carriers with control vested in directorates in which the public, the executive staffs of the lines and the railway employes should should have equal representation. Tug and Crew Blown Away. New York—The harbor tug, Edward, was blown to pieces and the five men of her crew were killed when her boiler exploded, while she lay In her slip on the Brooklyn side of the Baal river three blocks upstream from the Manhattan bridge. There was a heavy puff of smoke and clouds of steam, and through this was shot high into the air the entire superstructure. When the steam floated away only oil'was to be seen floating where the tug had been. MARKETS U. a BUREAU OF M A R K E T * W a s h i n g * * * O. C 'vt (Week ending August 3rd. 19S2.)

"All tfiese a d m i n i s t r a t i v e " - departm e n t s are connected by telephones, I t a k e it," said Assistant S e c r e t a r y Clifford one day to a member of his office force. "Oh yes, w e h a v e perfect telephone service between the d e p a r t m e n t s , " was the response, "Well, I think we will use t h e telep h o n e In transacting some of this business instead of writing so many l e t t e r s , " said Clifford. T h a t was the first step in the reform that has been successfully accomplished. Clifford soon learned that t h e 24 usslstant secretaries, four In the D e p a r t m e n t of J u s t i c e , four In t h e P o s t Office d e p a r t m e n t , one In the Navy department, one In tlie Department of Commerce, and one In the Dep a r t m e n t of Labor, were not even acquainted.

Secretary Mellon'e Victory. Apparently Andrew YV. Mellon, secretary of the treasury, h a s won a big victory over the Kepublican politicians who set out to force him to resign.

T h e league called attention from t i m e to time to w h a t w a s going on a n d did this In an effective way.

After all, as things turned out, the b u r e a u dismissals w e r e probably a good t h i n g for t h e government service. T h e y served to call attention to a prog r a m set u p by the spoilsmen for a g e n e r a l raid on t h e d e p a r t m e n t s . T h e esaployees who were dismissed have sjearly all obtained positions outside *>f t h e government service at much better p a y t h a n they * e r e receiving when dismissed.

Dover for a few m o n t h s after bis appointment waa the most p o p u l a r office holder in Washington. Republican s e n a t o r s a n d r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s believed t h a t they h a d in him a faithful friend. M e m b e r s of t h e Republican national committee heralded tne fact t h a t at last t h e r e w a s one m a n c o n n £ 0 e d with t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n who w a s in favor of p u t t i n g out Democrats, even though they w e r e in t h e classified service. Some of t h e high-up Republicans were so enthusiastic a t t h a t p a r t i c u l a r time a s to believe t h a t sooner or later Dover would succeed Mellon a s secret a r y of the t r e a s u r y . While the Intriguing w a s going on. Secretary Mellon remained silent. When it c a m e time for him to t a k e a s t a n d he simply said t h a t the politicians could not run t h e t r e a s u r y department, a n d that so long a s he w a s s e c r e t a r y they would not be p e r m i t t e d to h a v e any hand w h a t e v e r in the administration of the d e p a r t m e n t . In the end, the President h a d to choose between Mellon and Dover. Although he had appointed Dover a t the solicitation of the Republican politicians, he could not afford to let a satisfactory secretary of the t r e a s u r y go in order that he might keep a m a n who w a s in g r e a t favor with the spoilsmen. And so after n e a r • ly t h r e e m o n t h s of turmoil Dover de> elded to get out. Professional Politicians Vexed. T h e professional politicians a r e very much distressed over the Dover resignation. T h e y feel t h a t the President bus to some extent gone back on them. With Dover out there is no one in the service of the government In an Imp o r t a n t capacity to whom they can turn with confidence. Newly appointed cabinet officers, w h a t e v e r their personal Inclinations may be, soon learn that they cannot permit the political spoilsmen to Interfere with the gove r n m e n t ' s business. T h r e e or four m e m b e r s of the present cabinet are not wedded to civil service, but not one of them Is willing to t a k e on himself the responsibility of t e a r i n g down t h e merit system In his d e p a r t m e n t . Unquestionably the civil service law needs revision, but every well-informed person realizes that the merit system is here to stay. T h e system has at least two ardent supporters in the cabinet. T h e s e are Charles E v a n s Hughes, secr e t a r y of state, and Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce. Neither of these men has given the slightest consideration of politics in making appointments in his d e p a r t m e n t . It Is true that Republican politicians have been appointed to the diplomatic service since Mr. H u g h e s became secretary of state, but they are without exception personal appointees of the President. The one question Secretary Hoover asks of an applicant for a place in his d e p a r t m e n t is " H a v e you any special qualifications for this particular place?" Ready for Navy Scrapping. The Navy D e p a r t m e n t Is ready to begin the work of scrapping 28 battleships the day Great Britain, Prance, Japan, Ital> and the I'nited States exchange ratification of the t r e a t y limiting naval a r m a m e n t s , it Is estimated that It will cost $70,- (K>o,00O to wreck these fighters of the sea. T h e vessels to be destroyed, new and old, are estimated to represent an outlay of $50().000.000. Most of this money was er.pended on battle cruisers and battleships not yet completed but on which construction was started. It was figured that the United S t a t e s has invested in these new vessels about $330,000,000. Add to this the cost of the 15 old capital ships that a r e to be scrapped, and the halfbillion mark is not far away. T h e fifteen old ships range from the Maine, 20 y e a r s old, to the Michigan, 13 years old! T h i r t e e n uncompleted vessels, six battle cruisers of most m o d e r n type and seven battleships a r e also to go. T h e battleships range from 11 to 75 per cent completed, the a v e r a g e being about one-third. The doomed battle cruisers a r e from 12 to 35 per cent complete. However, two of the cruisers are to he converted into airplane carriers— t h e t r e a t y permitting this—and the a c t u a l scrapping will apply to only four cruisers. The Lexington and the Saratoga, each 33 per cent complete, h a v e been selected for airplane carriers. T h e remaining four cruisers— Constellation, Ranger, Constitution and the United S t a t e s — m u s t be used as t a r g e t s or sold for t h e metal t h a t is in them. In disposing of all t h e vessels, old a n d new, the naval board recommends t h a t they "be disposed of by sale unless, sunk by gunfire." However, It ts explained a t t h e Navy D e p a r t m e n t , It is h a r d to sell war vessels. They are unsulted for merchant use because of the weight of their a r m o r a n d small freight-carrying capacity. Their machinery will fit into no other ship, a n d t h e expense and inconvenience of removing t h e machinery are practically prohibitive. The most t h a t can be expected Is a buying order from i o m e one who w a n t s to strip t h e vessels of their metal and furnishings. Indications are, therefore, t h a t most of t h e condemned vessels will be towed to sea and sunk. The Navy Dep a r t m e n t , nevertheless, h a s already sold two of t h e vessels—the Maine and the Missouri. E a c h w a s bought for Junk purposes.

"CROW DOG SAY HE COME"— WAS READY TO DIE WH E N Spotted Tall, backed by t h e military whom he had aided, usurped the head chieftainship of the Brule Sioux, his high-handed act w a s bitterly resented. Chief Crow Dog (Kangi Sunka) took a vow to kill the head chief if ever he disgraced the n a m e of the Sichangu (Brules). Years passed. Spotted Tall, drunk with power, misused his high office for personal ends. His people murmured but were powerless. Then he coveted the wife of Medicine Bear and, coveting, took her. Crow Dog, a relutlve of Medicine Bear, remembered his vow. On August 5, 1SS1, he met Spotted Tail and shot him deud, after which he gave himself up. H e was tried at Deadwood, S. D., convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged. Crow Dog asked permission to say farewell to his family, promising to return on the day set for the execution. When Crow Dog did not show up the next day, Indian police were dispatched to get him. H e was not at home and his wife told them t h a t the chief had wished to return to prison alone and would surely keep his promise. The next day the chief walked into the Jail -at Rapid City. "Crow Dog say he come," was his laconic reply to the surprised greeting of his jailer. Meanwhile efforts were being made to save his life by a stay of execution. His case was carried to the Supreme court of the United States which ruled t h a t t h e federal courts had no Jurisdiction over crime committed by one Indian against another on a reservation. So Crow Dog walked out of prison a free man. Ten years later Crow Dog was In the limelight again, as one of the Brule leaders who fled from the Rosebud agency during the (J host Dance craze to join the Ogallalas In the Bad L a n d s . The Brule chief was soon convinced that their cause was hopeless and he counselled surrender. But the irreconcllables were still eager for war. They caught up their rifles and threatened to shoot those who wavered. Seeing this Crow Dog drew his blanket over hla head. "I do not wish to know who would be guilty of slay'ng a brother Dakota," he said. His words so Impressed the warriors that civil war was averted and the hostlles sullenly filed into the agency to surrender. It was Crow Dog's last w a r trail. From that day he lived in peace on the Rosebud reservation until his death August 12, 1912.

One morning a Brule chief called on McGtlllcuddy and In a most offensive m a n n e r demanded food. The agent ended the Interview by kicking him out of the door. Wild with anger the Indian rode away t h r e a t e n i n g to kill every white man on the reservation. McGtlllcuddy had only nine white men with him at the time, and although Sword and his 100 policemen were near at hand, they were an unknown quantity when it should come to fighting their own people. But the agent was not long left In doubt. Suddenly a band of Indians, stripped to w a r bonnet, breech clout and moccasins, dashed up to the agency. It was Sword and his policemen. They had discarded their uniforms and In the costume of Sioux w a r r i o r s were ready to come to death grips with their own people in defense of their white chief. Within an hour t h e Brule chief was back with 400 warriors, and although they made a most threatening demonstration before the agency, they were so impressed by the determined front presented by Sword and his men that they did not attack. T h e next day McGllllcuddy's party, escorted by Sword's policemen, went to t h * Sun Dance. J u s t before they reached the Indian camp, Sword put his company through a mounted drill, then suddenly breaking his cavalry formation, he led them in a wild charge straight at the big camp. Round and round the village his young daredevils circled, shouting their w a r cries and shooting over the heads of their people so fast that the bullets were dropping on the lodges like hail. It was his challenge to the tribe—100 defying 12.100! His bluff was not called. For years Captain Sword w a t captain of police and judge of the Indian court. He helped turn his peopie from the pursuits of war Into the p a t h s of peace. His reward? In his old age be begged the government for a pension but his plea w a s never granted. H e died In poverty October 17, 1410. Silk and Linen Street Clothes T h e summer street dress has come to be a work of a r t all in a class by Itself. Today, a s you walk along the street, notes a fashion writer In the New York Times, you are not impressed by the general dowdlness of female human nature, but you a r e quite overcome by the general smartness which t h e crowd as a whole reo- Long, Loose Coat of Heavy White Crepe Embroidered in Black and Lined With Red. resents. Not only are there a few high lights In the way of smart suits and dresses, but the common tenor of the crowd holds you spellbound with the air of fashionable attire that predominates. It may be that all of the dresses that women are wearing have suddenly taken a leap as regards their character and tone. But certain It Is that the street clothes have established a brand-new standard. Time was when women on the street or at functions where street clothes were demanded all looked more or less alike. There was a fixed standard from which it was not possible to deviate to any large extent. Now all that Is changed in the most miraculous and Interesting way. Every woman ymi meet Is different from the last. Each one lias something, it seems, that is original about the gown or suit sin* has chosen to wear. Each one seems bent upon exhibiting her own individuality to the full extent of her personal powers. And for these reasons, there has come about this subtle change in the appearance of the dressing of the crowd. Then, among all of the existing good dressing, there stand out above all the rest certain spots that are oven more beautiful than the rest and others which have about tlicni that air which says "We shall lead the fash- Ions of a coming season." It Is interesting tct notice them as you go about. Those with distinction above the ordinary find no ditheulfy in asserting their own. They are not by miv means ornate nor overt rimmed with extra additions. They are, on the contrary, conspicuous for their extreme simplicity and the brilliance of perfection with which their designers have carried out the idea of the elimination of detail. The silk coat 1« a development of this season which serves, more than any other one achievement, to make the general tone of the dressing of the women reach a much higher level. It Is not so heavy that it can be culled hot, but, on the other hand, it has that air of formality which so notably tits it for wear upon the street. White Coat of Crepey Silk. One of the newest of these coats happens to be made of white. Its material is one of those heavy, crepey silks which have about them so much body and so much character that the\ are fit to be classed in this connection with woolens of any variety, weight or weave from which these coats are made. Then, because the weight of silk Is so Inconsequential a thing. It can afford to have n lining, and just here is where the chief beauty of the wtioie situation enters. For the linings, thin season, are carrying about with them in their secluded roles n great deal of the style and distinction which Is the portion of these modern coats. And again. Just as is the case with the white silk cont. these newer wraps offer a fine opportunity for placing of t h e big, beautiful bands of handworked embroidery that play so conspicuous a part in giving the style and droop and hang to the coat once its lines have been perfected as a basic idea. The white coat, for Instance. Is supplied with a wide band of black embroidery along the bottom of the front panel, and that Idea Is repented on the sleeves. Then the lining for this wrap is done in cherry-red crepe de chine of the very softest quality, so that glimpses of t h a t hot and glorious color against the outer surface of black and its contrasting white m a k e just t h e prettiest sort of a picture. And t h e dress worn under a w r a p of this sort sinks into obscurity because of the beauty of t h e outer covering. It can be either a plain black dress or one of white that 1B designed quite without trimming, for the coat supplies all of the dash of decoration and color that could possibly be desired. Coata Match Dreaaes. T h e costume suit, which w a s so loudly heralded in the fall h a s carried over into summer with all of Its finest points to the fore, and It bids fair to lie one of those things which, In the fall, we will cling to an an inspiration not to be foresworn. One of the very latest ones is the long-walsted, s h o r t - p e p l u m e d coat. There Is every attraction h e r e of feminine grace and charm, and at the same time the suit, either with its coat or without It, lias every a t t r i b u t e of dignity to carry along with It. The dress portion of this costume suit is m a d e from a combination of that soft, cream-colored French cotton crepe, and the skirt is made from u lemonyellow ratine. Now those two materials are, to be sure, only the foundations. Upon them a r e superimposed many bands and lines of embroidery done in stitches of mercerized cotton in colors of black, brown, sparkling red and white. On the blouse these handwurked bands contain all of the colors, but when it comes to the skirt only the black and the white threads are used, and the s::me Is true of the b e l t m a d e oi . • I ,i;> -d p e^e of Mi ratine. Then i: coal is • ,a e , same fabric that goes to make the skirt of the frock worn underneath it. And the little jacket Is further embellished by bands of a dyed kolinsky fur carrying the softest of the darker tones of brown. The coat Is lined then with a soft, cream-colored silk having a smooth surface which t u r n s buck on the collar and cuffs and shows becomingly against the neck and against the puffed sleeves of the cotton crepe which jut out underneath the wide cuffed sleeves. One nice thing about the skirt to this frock is the way It pleats In on the sides. This gives a sufficient amount of room for walking, and at the same time it keeps that trig, straight look. Golden Brown Crepe. Another dress designed for street wear and worn, Indeed, by the very smart woman In New York was made of a golden brown crepe. The skirt had a straight panel at front and at back, white at the sides were these inserted sections of narrow side pleat- Ings. At the base of the skirt the li'tle pleats were tacked together so that the skirt pulfed nut above that point in a sort of harem fashion. Worn with this skirt there was a c;ipe jacket with loose and ilowlng sleeves through which oilier puffed sleeves of a Russian blouse bodice were seen to protrude. This little bodice of white had lines of Russian embroidery in tones of yellow and brown marching around the collar and down the front, w h i l e t h e e n d ' of i h o s l e e v e s h a d Long-Walcted Jacket Made to Wear With Dress of White Cotton Crepe and Ratine. frills over the bands peeping out from another band of the brightly colored Ruslan stitches. It Is wonderful to see how many women, and well dressed and good bulking women, too, have adopted the Russian blouse for serious wear upon the street. And these blouses, when they are at their most a t t r a c t i v e stages, are not made as a d a p t a t i o n s of the original ones, but they are Indeed those original models In their pristine state.

There was no pretense of courtesy now in Spearman's manner; he sat motionless at his desk, his bold eyes fixed on Alan intently. Alan dosed the door behind him and advanced toward the desk. MI thought we'd better have some explanation," he said, "about our meeting last night" "Our meeting?" Spearman repeated; his eyes had narrowed watchfully. "You told Mr. Sherrlil that you were in Duluth and that you arrived home in Chicago only this morning. Of course you. don't mean to stick to that story with me?" "What are you talking about T Spearman demanded. "Ot course, I know exactly where you were a part of last evening, and you know that I know. I only want to know what explanation you have to offer." Spearman leaned forward, "Talk sense and talk It quick, if you have anything to say to me!" "I haven't told Mr. Sherrlil that I found you at Corvet's house last night ;• but I don't want you to doubt for a minute that I know you—and about your d—g of Benjamin Corvet and your cry about saving the Mlwaka!" A flash of blood came to Spearman's face; Alan, in his excitement, was sure of it; but there was just that flash, no more. He turned, while Spearman sat chewing hla cigar and staring at him, and went out and partly closed the door. Then, suddenly, he reopened it, looked in, reclosed it sharply, and went on his way, shaking a little. For, as he looked back this second time at the dominant, determined, able man seated at his desk, what he had seen In Spearman's face was fear; fear of himself, of Alan Conrad of Blue Rap- Ids—yet it was not fear of that sort which weakens or dismays; it was of that sort which, merely warning of danger close at hand, determines one to use every meant within his power to save himself. Alan, still trembling excitedly, crossed to Corvet's office to await Sherrtll. It was not, he felt sure now, Alan Conrad that Spearman was opposing; it was not even the apparent successor to the controlling stock of Corvet, Sherrlil and Spearman. That Alan resembled some one—some one whose ghost bad seemed to come to Spearman and might, perhaps, have come to Corvet—was only incidental to what was going on now; for in Alan's presence* Spearman found a threat—an active, present threat against himself. Alan could not Imagine what the nature of that threat could be. 'Was It because there was something still concealed in Corvet's house which Spearman feared Alan would find? Or was it connected only with that some one whom Alan resembled? e e e e e e Constance Sherril^f most active hought that day was about Henry Spearman, for she had a,luncheon en* gagement with him at one o'clock. The tea room of a department store offers to young people opportunities for dining together without furnishing reason for even innocently connecting their names too intimately, if a girl is not seen there with the same man too often. There is something essentially casual and unpremeditated about it— as though the man and the girl, both shopping and both hungry, had Juat happened to meet and go to lunch together. As Constance recently had drawn closer to Henry Spearman In her thought, and particularly since she had been seriously considering marrying him, she bad clung deliberately to this unplanned appearance about their meetings. She glanced across at him, when she had settled herself, and the first little trivialities of their being together were over. "I took a visitor down to your office this morning," she said. "Yea," he answered. 'Constance was aware that it was only formally that she had taken Alan Conrad down to confer with her father; since Henry was there, she knew her father would not act without his agreement, and that whatever disposition bad been made regarding Alan had been made by him, e e e e e e "Did you like him, Henry? I hoped you would." He did not answer at once. The waitress brought their order, and he served her; then, as the waitress moved away, he looked across at Constance with a long scrutiny. ••You've seen a good deal of him, yesterday and today, your father tells me,H he observed. "Yea," "It s plain enough you like him," he remarked. She reflected seriously. 'Tea, I do; though I hadn't thought of It Just that way, because I was thinking most about the position he waa in and about —Mr. Corvet But T do like him." "So do I," Spearman said wltb a seeming heartiness that pleased her. "At least I should like him, Connie, if I bad the sort of privilege you have to think whether I Uksd or disliked him. Pve bad to oonsldor him from another point of flow whethoi I could trust him or most distrust him." •'Distrust?" Constance bent toward him Impulsively in her surprise. "Distrust him? In relation to what? Why?" "In relation to Corvet, ShervUl and Spearman, Connie—the company that involves your interests and your father's and mine and the Interests of many other people—small stockholders who have no Influence in Its management, and whose Interests 1 have to look after for them." MI don't understand, Henry." *Tve had to think of Conrad this morning in the same way as I've had to think of Ben Corvet of recent years —as a threat against the interests of those people." Her color rose, and her pulse quickened. Henry never had talked to her, except in the merest commonplaces, about his relations with Uncle Benny; it was a matter in which, she had recognized, they had been opposed; and since the quarrels between the old friend whom sfc« had loved from childhood and he, who wlsh»d to become now more than a mere friend to her, had grown more violent, she had purposely avoided mentioning Uncle Benny to Henry, and he, quite as consciously, had avoided mentioning Mr. Corvet to her. "I've known for a good many years," Spearman went on, reluctantly, "that Ben Corvet's brain was seriously affected. He recognized that himself even earlier, and admitted it to himself when he took me off my ship to take charge of the company. I might have gone with other people then, or it wouldn't have been very long before I could have started in as a ship owner myself; but in view of his condition, Ben made me promises that offered me most. Afterward his malady progressed so that he couldn't know himself to be untrustworthy; his Judgment was Impaired, and he planned and would have tried to carry out many things that would have been disastrous for the company. I had to fight him—for the company's sake and for my own sake and that of the others, whose Interests were at stake. Your father came to see that what I was doing was for the company's good and has learned to trust me. But you for the Joy of overwhelming others by his own decisive Btrength and power. And she had been almost ready to marry that man for his strength and dominance from chose qualities; and now she knew that he was merciful too—Indeed, more than merciful. In the very contest where she tad thought of him ae most selfish and regardless of another, she had most completely misapprehended. "I ought to have seen!" she rebuked herself to him. "Surely, I should have seen that was It 1" "How could you see?" he defended her. "He never showed to you the side he showed to me and—In these last years, anyway—never to me the side he showed to you. But after what has happened this week, can you understand now; and you can see why I have io distrust the young fellow who's come to claim Ben Covert's pla^-e." "Claim!" Constance repeated. "Why, Henry, I did not know he claimed anything; he didn't even know when he raine here—" "He seems, like Ben Corvet" Henry said slowly, "to have the characteristic of allowing one aide to you, another to me, Connie. With you, of course, he claimed nothing; but at the office— Your father showed him this morning the instruments of transfer that Ben sevms to have left conveying to him all Ben had—bts other properties and his Interest an Corvet, Sherrlil and Spearman. I very naturally objected to the execution of those transfers, without considerable examination, in view of Corvet's mental condition and of the fact that they put the controlling stock of Corvet, Sherrlil and Spearman In the hands of a youth no one ever had heard of—and .one who, by hit own story, never had seen a ship until yesterday. And when 1 didn't dismiss my business with a dozen men this morning to take him into the company, he claimed occasion to see me alone to threaten me." "Threaten you, Henry? How? With what?" "I couldn't quite make out myself, but that was his tone; he demanded an 'explanation,' of exactly what, he didn't make clear. He has been given by Ben, apparently, tho technical control of Corvet, Sherrlil and Spearman. His Idea, if I oppose him, evidently is to turn me out and take the management himself." Constance leaned back, confused. "He—Alan Conrad?" she questioned. "He can't have done that Henry! Oh, he can't have meant that!" "Maybe he didn't; I said I couldn't make out what he did mean," Spearman said. "Things have come upon him with rather a rush, of course; and you couldn't expect a country boy to get so many things straight He's acting, I suppose, only in the way one might expect a boy to act who had been brought up in poverty on a Kansas prairie and was suddenly handed the possible possession of a good many millions of dollars. It's better to believe that he's only lost his head. I haven't had opportunity to tell your father these things yet; but f wanted you to understand why Conrad will hardly consider me a friend." T i l understand you now, Henry," she promised. "You've Seen a Good Deal of Him, Yesterday and Today, Your Father Tells Me," He Observed. —you couldn't see that quite so directly, of course, and you thought I didn't —like Ben, and there was some lack in me which made me fail to appreciate him." "No; not that** Constance denied quickly. "Not that, Henry." "What was it then, Connie? You thought me ungrateful to him? I realize that I owed a great debt to him; but the only way I could pay that debt was to do exactly what I did— oppose him and seem to push Into his place and be an lngrate; for, because I did that Ben's been a respected and honored man in this town all these last years, which he couldn't have remained if Td <et him have his way, or If I told others why I had to do what I did. I didn't care what others thought about me; but I djd care what you thought; yet If you couldn't see what I was up against because of your affection for him, why—that was all right too." "No, it wasn't all right" she denied almost fiercely, the flush flooding her cheeks; a throbbing was in her throat which, for an instant stopped her. "You should have told me, Henry; or —I should have been able to see." '"I couldn't tell you—dear," he said the last word very distinctly, but so low that she could scarcely hear. "I couldn't tell you now—If Ben hadn't gone away as he has and this other fellow come. I eouldnt tell you when yon wanted to keep caTlng so much for your Uncle Benny, and he was trying to hurt me with you." She bent toward him, bar lips parted; but now she did not speak. She never bad really known Henry until this moment, she felt; the bad thought of him always as strong, almost brutal, fighting down fiercely, merclleotly, bis opponents and welcoming contest CHAPTER V I I I . Violence, At half-past threa, Alan left the office. Sherrlil had told him an hour earlier that Spearman had telephoned be would not be able to get back for a conference that afternoon; and Alan was certain now that In Spearman's absence Sberrill would do nothing further with respect to his affairs. Was there no ope whom Alan could tell of hit encounter with Spearman In Corvet's house, with probability of receiving belief? Alan had not been thinking directly of Constance Sherrlil, as he walked swiftly north to the Drive; but she was, In a way, present in all his thoughts. As he approached the Sherrlil bouse, he saw standing at the curb an open roadrter with a liveried chauffeur; he had seen that roadster, he recognised with a little start, in front of the office building that morning when Constance had taken him downtown. He turned Into the walk and rang the bell. The servant who opened the door knew him and seemed to accept his right of entry to the house, for he drew back for Alan to enter. Alan went Into the hall and waited for the servant to follow. "Is Miss Sberrill InF he asked. "I'll see, sir." The man dUappeared. Alan, waiting, did not hear Constance's voice in reply to the announcement of the servant but Spearman's vigorous tones. The servant returned. "Miss Sherrlil will see you In a minute, sir." Through the wide doorway to the drawing room, Alan could see the J smaller, porUered entrance to the room beyond—SherrlU's study. The curtains parted, and Constance and Spearman came Into this inner doorway; they stood an instant there in talk. As Constance started away, Spearman suddenly drew her bock to him and kissed her. Alan's shoulders spontaneously Jerked back and his hands clenched; be did not look away I aware that be bad She came to him, very quiet and very fluahed; then she was quite pale at the asked him, "You wanted me?" Ha was white as the, and could not speak at once. "You told me last night. Miss Sherrlil," he said, "that the last thing that Mr. Corvet did—the last that you know of—was to warn you against one of your friends. Who waa t h a t r She fluahed uneasily. "You mustn't attach any importance to that; I didn't mean you to. There was no reason for what Mr. Corvet said, except in Mr. Corvet's own mind. He had a quite unreasonable animosity—" "Against Mr. Spearman, you mean.* She did not answer. "His animosity was against Mr. Spearman, Miss Sherrill, wasn't itl That Is the only animosity of Mr. Corvet's that anyone has told me about" "Yes." "It was against Mr. Spearman thai he warned you, then?** "Yesi." "Thank you." He turned and, not waiting for the man, let himself out lie should have known It when he had seen that Spearman, after announcing himself as unable to get back to thi office, was with Constance. He went swiftly around the block U his own house and let himself in at tht front door with his key. The house was warm; a shaded lamp on the tabU in the larger library was lighted, a firs was burnlng'-in the open grute, and the roomB had b«>eu swept and dusted. Tb* Indian came into the hail to take his coat and hat "Dinner is at seven," Waassquaia announced. "You want some change about that?" "No ? seven is all right." Alan went upstairs to the room next to Corvet's which he had appropriated for his own Use the night before, and found It now prepared for his occupancy. When he came down again to the first floor, Wasseeuam was no where about, but he board sounds la the service rooms on the basement floor. He went part vay down the service stairs and saw the Indian in the kitchen, preparing dinner. Wassa* quam had not heard his approach, and Alan stood an instant watchlag tht Indian's tall, thin figure and the quick movements of his disproportionately small, well-shaped hands, almost Ukt a woman's; then he scuffed his foot upon the stair, and Wassaqusja turned swiftly about "Anybody been here today, Jldabr* Alan asked. "No, Alan. I called tradesmen; they came. There were young men from UN newspapers." "What did you tell them?" "Nothing." "Why n o t r "Henry telephoned I was to tod them nothing." "You mean Henry Spearman?" "Yes." "Do you take orders from him, t% dan?" "I took that order, Alan." Alan hesitated. "You've been beta in the house all day?" "Yes. Alan." Alan went back to the first floor as4 into the Bmaller library. The roots was dark with the early winter dusk, and he switched on the light; then he knelt and pulled out one of the drawers he had seen Spearman searching through the night before, and carefully examined the papers in It one by one, but found them only ordinary papers He pulled the drawer completely on! and sounded the wall behind it and tht partitions on both tides but they ap» peared solid. He put the drawer back In and went on to examine the next one, and, after that the others. The clocks In the house bad been wound, for presently the clock In the llbrarf struck six, and another In the hat) chimed slowly. An nour later, whet the clocks chimed again, Alan looked up and saw Wassaquam's small block eyes, deep set In their large eye aockr eta, fixed on him intently through tht door. How long the Indian had bees there, Alan could not guess; bo baa not heard his step. "What are yon looking for, AiftaT the Indian asked. Alan reflected a moment "Mr. She* rill thought that Mr. Corvet migH have left a record of tome tort hers for me. Judah. Do you know of any* thing like t h a t r "No. That it what you are looking; for?" "Yes. Do you know of any pines where Mr. Corvet would have boos likely to pjjt away anything like thatr" "Ben put papers in all these drae* era; he put them upstairs, too—where you have seen." "Nowhere else, Judah?" "If he put thinga anywhere elsa, Alan, I have not osen. Dinner it served, Alan." Alan went to the lavatory on the first floor and washed the dust from hit hands and face; then he went into the dining room. Wasaaquam, bavins, served the dinner, took his place be> bind Alan's chair, ready to past him what he needed; but the Indian1! silent watchful presence there behind him where he could not tee his face disturbed Alan, and be twitted him self about to look at him. "Would you mind, Judah," be b> quired, "if I asked yon to stand ova? there instead of where you are?" The Indian, without answering moved around to the other side of thi table, where he stood facing Alan. "They say that the D m wromg wkea the hfiwaka t dews." (TO B B OONTTNUXD.)

Although green manuring Is one of the oldest methods ustjd to maintain or to increase the productivity of the soil, there have been enough new developments in the practice and in the plants used for the purpose In recent years to make desirable the publication by the United States Department of Agriculture of Farmers' Bulletin 1250, Green Manuring, by C. V. Piper and A. J. Pleters. The subjects discussed range from a definition of the term "green manuring," which means "the turning under of any crop, while green or soon after ripening, for the purpose of soil improvement," to descriptions of the many crops that are used for land betterment in most regions of the United States and In some other countries. The use of special green-manure crops, says the bulletin, is much more general in the South than in the North. In the semi-arid regions, for reasons made clear, under dry farming green manures are not used, but in Irrigated areas in the West orchardlsts depend upon them to a great extent to lncreuse the yield of fruit. Crops Benefit Soil. These crops that are grown primarily as roughage for feeding the soil produce both chemical and physical effects that are of benefit to plants that succeed them. When a green-manure crop is turned under, the various fertilizing elements that have gone Into the making of the crop ure returned | to the soil, and a quantity of organic matter not before in the soil Is added, nnd, in addition to Improving the physical condition, serves us food for beneficent bacteria. One of the most important functions of organic matter . in the i*>n is to keep up the nitrogen supply. The bulletin gives three ways in which this is done: (1) Growth of nodule bacteria on roots of leguminous plants; (2) the making of nitrates by soil bacteria from organic nitrogen in the soil ; and (3) growth of bacteria and molds that feed on plant waste in the soil and take nitrogen directly from the air. These processes may be stimulated by adopting the proper practices and suitable crops. Satisfactory Cover Crops. Legumes are of course the most satisfactory cover crops under most conditions, and all legumes do not have the same strain of nodule bacteria. For instance, that of clover is different from that of alfalfa, and j that of the cowpea is distinct from that of the soy bean. These selective associations of plants and bacteria make inoculation of the soil necessary where the crop has not been previously grown, either by scattering soil from a field where the crop to be sown has been grown recently or by using an artificial culture. A strain of bacteria will often inoculate differor where the soil Is poor and in need of organic matter, a green crop may often be worth more if turned under. It la known that the turning under of a green-manure crop may effect the yield of subsequent crops even to the third year, and this fact should have weight when the question of selling a legume hay crop or turning it undei is considered. A Regular Farm Practice. Green manuring in some form should be part of the regular farm practice on most of the farms east of the hundredth meridian and on irrigated land elsewhere. Rotations should be arranged so as to work In a green manure crop between regular crops without sacrificing direct money or feed crops. Preference should be given to a legume if possible. The value of these crops Is determined by the quantity of humus formed, measured by the tonnage of the crop, the physical changes brought about In the soil, and the quantity of nitrogen taken from the air and added to the soil. There are probably other factors that are as yet but little understood. It is said that green manure in orchards checks certain diseases and Improves the quality of the fruit. Order of Importance. The leguminous crops grown In this country listed in the bulletin in order of importance a r e : lied clover, alfalfa, alsike clover, sweet clover, cowpeas, peanuts, soy beans, velvet beans, ! An Excellent Stand of Alfalfa. crimson clover, field peas, vetch, Japan clover, bur clover, and white clover. A few others, such as beggarweed, grass peas, fenugreek, and horse beans are grown to a small extent In restricted localities. Non-leguminous crops that are considered as useful green manures are grasses, buckwheat, weeds, and some plants of the mustard family that are used more In Europe than in this country. The bulletin contains more than 40 pages of valuable Information on these plants and the ways of handling them; also tables of results that show their value in Increasing Returns. A copy may be obtained free by addressing the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. A Field of Soy Beans, a Good Horns- Grown Feed, Rich In Protein and Excellent for Dairy Cows. ent closely related legumes. Alfalfa, bur-clqver, and sweet clover nodules are produced by the same strain; a different strain Inoculates moat of the vetches, as well as the field and garden peas; still another strain is apparently used In common by red, white, alsike, and crimson clovers. The question often arises, whether a crop should be turned under for green m ana re, fed on the farm, or sold as hay. Tlie authors sum op the argument as follows: Where a forage crop can be grazed or advantageously fed and the manure returned to the land, this will be found most profitable. Where Insufficient live stock la kept ERADICATION OF ALL WEEDS One of Most Serious Agricultural Problems Is Prompt Destruction of Noxious Plants. There Is nothing which has a graver menace to agriculture than our noxious weeds. It is all right to think of serious marketing problems and economic subjects, but the solution of these is not a bit more Important than the prompt eradication of Canada thistle, quack grass and other norious weeds. Town, city and village must lend mutual strength to the warfare on weeds. It Is a community problem, a personal issue. ROBBING SOIL OF FERTILITY Of Utmost Importance That Land Be Kept Fertile With Manure and Phosphorus. If farmers continue to rob the soli of its natural store of fertility, what is the next generation of human beings going to do" for food? Our best soils can produce profitably only 30 to 40 years unless they are*kept fertile, with manure, clovers, and finally phosphorus. | True i Detective Stories i i x * OUT OF THE AIR OopyrifJU by Tb« Wheeler Syndicate, lac. SOMEWHERE, somehow, the Germans were getting messages through from the United States to the fatherland. That much was certain. Washington knew it beyond the shadow of a doubt, but the way in which the messages were transmitted was a mystery—dark and apparently unfathomable. This was In the days before America entered the war, in the days when the United States was, theoretically at least, a neutral nation. But Von Bernstorff, Von Papen and the rest of the embassy at Washington were doing everything they could to further their schemes from this side of the Atlantic. But not even the secret service could penetrate the mystery of the messages. That these were flashed from the huge wireless towers on this side of the Atlantic, or relayed from the German radio stations, seemed fairly obvious. But how? "They must be sending the stuff through the air," argued the chief of the secret service to Talbot, one of his best men, "for the simple reason that we've closed all their other channels." "Any idea as to the code they are using?" asked Talbot. "None at all, but it's probably concealed somewhere In the messages which they send out to the ships at sea—press bulletins, stock quotations, and the like. We've studied them carefully, but haven't been able to find a thing." "How„ about the outburst from Nauen every morning?" "The only explanation for that seems to be that it's an attempt to 'fog the air* so that ships and other towers can't get anything through." "Yes, but in that case would the Germans send It for an hour early every morning? Why not all day long? And why that hash of language that doesn't mean a thing? If they were trying tx) fog things they'd wireless the Bible or Nietzsche or excerpts from some other long book instead of that mess of meaningless rot." "All right," retorted the chief, "if you think there's a clue there, go to It." But Talbot didn't begin his investigations with a study of the. Nauen "hast." He made his way at first to the laboratory of Charles E. Apgar, a deep student of wireless telegraphy. It was to Apgar that he told his troubles and, when he had Mulshed, the expert leaned forward and picked up something from the table in front of him. "See that?" Apgar asked. Talbot nodded. "Looks like an old-fashioned cylindrical phonograph record," he said. ".lust what it is," admitted the expert, "only YOU use it in connection with a wireless phonograph." "A wireless phonograph'.'" and the government operative's voice showed that he had never heard of such a contrivance. "Yes, a phonograph attached to the receiving end of a radio station. I finished working on it a few days ago, and I think it's Just what you need for this job. It wUL.f^ord and keep track of every sound that comes Into the station, enabling you to 'listen In' on messages months after they have been sent. With a supply of these records and the necessary patience you ought to be able to figure out the system the Huns are using, without their being any the wiser. It may take weeks or even months, but it's just a question of being everlastingly at it." Apgar was right. Talbot found that it took him nearly four months to get on to the system—four months of ceaseless llstenlng-in at the end of a De Forest audion detector which picks up sound waves from thousands of miles away, and even then he would never have located the secret had It not been for the wax cylinders. But with the aid of these automatic detectives he was able to repeat each message until he had it almost by heart, trying out the various combinations and symbols until he stumbled across the right one. Then, one morning, when the chief of the secret service least expected him. he burst Into the office with the exclamation : "I've got it—the fifth, tenth and fifteenth flashes! See?" nnd he held out a sheet of paper on which we-e row upon row of figures and letters, commencing with "5—8—K—14—B." "Looks Interesting," admitted the chief, "but what does It mean?" "Got a German dictionary here? No—well. I have. Luckily It's an old edition—Just the one they're using for the code. The lptters give the numbers of the pares, and the figures designate the words, the big ones in hold type. Five and eight K means the fifth and eighth words on page eleven. 14 B means the fourteenth word on page two, and so on. By spacing 'em so far apart in the meaningless wireless messages—or even in the press bulletins sent out from this side— they are able to fill In with tots of stuff to throw you off the scpnt. But the code's simple enough—that's what makes it such a wonder:" And It wasn't until Von Bernstorff received his sailing orders that he knew the secret service had been plucking his messages and* his Instructions out of the air. through the Ingenious use of a wax phonograph cylinder. When Baby Complains/ "THERE ARE MANY WAYS a baby has of expressing any pain or Irregularity * or digression from its normal condition of health and napjjiness, A short sharp cry, a, prolonged irritated cry. Restlessness, a constant turning of the head or of the whole boay, fretful. In these and other ways a baby tells you there is something wrong. Most mothers know that a disordered stomach, or bowels that do not act naturally are the cause of most of baby's sufferings. A call for the doctor is the first thought, but in the event of any delay there should be ready at hand a safe remedy such as Fletcher's Castoria. Castona has been used for baby's ailments for over 30 years and has merited the good will of the family physician in a measure not equaled by any other baby:s medicine because of its harmlessness and the good results achieved. And remember this: Castoria is essentially a baby's remedy and not a cureall for every member of the family. What mignt help you is too often dangerous when given to a babe.

Benjamin Corvet Is something of a recluse and a mystery , to his associates. After a stormy interview with his partner, Henry toeaxman, Corvet seeks Constance BharrUL daughter of his other business partner, Lawrence SherrUi, and secures from her a promise not to marry Spearman until he retuma He then disappears. Sherrill learns Corvet has written to a 0«rtain Alan Conrad, in Blue Rapids, Kansas, and exhibited strange agitation over the matter. Corvet'B letter summons Conrad, a youth of unknown parentage, to Chicago. Alan arrives in Chicago. From a statement of SherrUi it seeme probable Conrad Is Corvet'* Illegitimate son. Corvet has deeded his bouse and its contents to Alan, who takes possession. That night Alan discovers a man ransacking the desks and bureau drawers In Cor vet's apartments. The appearance of Alan tremendously agitates the intruder, who appears to think him s ghost and raves of "the Mlwaka." After a struggle the man escapes. Neat day Alan learns from Sherrtll that Corvet has deeded his entire property to him. Introduced to Spearman, Alan is astonished at the discovery that he is the man whom he had fought in his bouse the night before. Alan tells no one •f his strange encounter, but In a private interview taxes 8pearman with the fact. Spearman laughs at aad defies him. Spearman poisons Constance's mind against Alan.

"Tea/' he s a i d "Do yon believe In it?" "Not Just believe; I know. Efrery- •ody knows that it sounds for those who die on the lake. I have heard i t It sounded for my father." "How was that 7" "Like this. My father sold some bullocks to a man on Beaver Island. The man kept store on Beaver Island, '•Ian. N o Indian liked him.

Besides, It was bad weather, the beginning of a storm. "He went away, and my mother •went to pick berries—I was small thee.

I told him." Wassaquam removed the dinner and brought Alan a dessert H e returned to stand in the place across the table that Alan had assigned to him, and stood looking down at Alan, steadily and thoughtfully. "Do I look like any one you ever saw before, Judah?" Alan Inquired of him. uNo.M "Is that what you are thinking"?" "That is what I was thinking. Will coffee be served In the library,_A1 an?" Alan crossed to the library and seated himself in the chair where his father had been accustomed to s i t Wassaquaxn brought him the single small cup of coffee, lit the spirit lamp on the smoking stand and moved that over; then he went away. When he had finished his coffee, Alan went tnto the smaller connecting room and recommenced his examination of the drawers under the bookshelves. At ten o'clock, Alan stopped his search and went back to the chair in the library. He dozed; for he awoke with a start and a feeling that some one had been bending over him, and gazed up into Wassaquam's face. The Indian had been scrutinizing him with Intent, anxious inquiry. He moved away, but Alan called him back. "When Mr. Corvet disappeared, Judah, you went to look for him up at Manlstique, where he w a s born—at least Mr. Sherrill said that was where you w e n t Why did you think you might find him there?" Alan asked. "In the end, I think, a man maybe goes back to the place where he began. That's all, Alan." "In the end 1 What do you mean by that? What do you think has become of Mr. Corvet?** "I think now—Ben's dead." "What makes you think that?" "Nothing makes me think; I think It myself." "I see. You mean you have no reason more than others for thinking it; but that is what you believe." "Yes." Wassaquam went away, and Alan heard him on the back stairs, ascending to his room. When Alan went up to his own •room, after making the rounds to see that the house was locked, a droning chant came to him from the third floor. He paused In the hall and listened, then went up to the floor above. A flickering light came to him through the half-open door of a room at fl»e front of the house) he went a little way toward It and looked In. Two thick candles were burning before a crucifix, below which the Indian knelt, prayer book In hand aDd rocking to and fro as he droned his supplications. A word or two came to Alan, but without them Wassaquam's occupation was plain; be was praying for the repose of the dead—the Catholic chant taught to him, as it had been taught undoubtedly to his fathers, by the French Jesuits of the lakes. The Intoned chant for Corvet's soul, by the man who had heard the Drum, followed and still came to Alan, as he returned to the second floor. He had not been able to determine during the evening, Wassaquam's attitude toward him. Having no one else to trust, Alan had been obliged to put a certain amount of trust In the Indian; so as he had explained to Wassaquam that morning that the desk and the drawers In the little room off Corvet's had been forced, and had warned him to see that no one, who had not proper business there, entered the house. Wassaquam had appeared to accept this order; but now Wassaquam had implied that it w a s not because of Alan's order that he had refuted reporters admission to the house. Alan started and went quickly to the opon door of his room, a s he heard voices now somewhere within the house. . One of the voice* he recognlaad a s Wassaquam's; the other Indistinct, thick, accusing—was unknown to him t It certainly - w a s not Spearman's, H e descended swiftly to the first floor, and found Wassaquam standing in the front hall, alone. "Who was here, Judah?" Alan demanded- "A man," the Indian answered stolidly. "Ho was drunk; I put him o u t " "What did ho come for?" "He -came to see Ben. I pot him out; he la gone, Alan." Alan flung opon the front door and looked o u t bat bo saw no one. "What did be want of Mr. Oorret, J u d a h r 1 do not know.

Wo; I do not.- P * sat sudden disappearance of the man might mean only that he had hurried away, but it might mean, too, that be was still lurking near the house. Alan had decided to make the circuit of the house and determine t h a t But as he came out on to the porch, a figure more than a block away to the south strode with uncertain step out into the light of a street lamp, halted and faced about, and shook his fist back at the house. Alan dragged the Indian out on to the porch. "Is that the man, Judah T* he dehanded. "Yes, Alan." Alan ran down the steps and at full speed after the man. But when he reached the corner, he was nowhere In sight Alan retraced his steps fer several blocks, still looking; then he gave it up and returned east toward the Drive. The side street leading to the Drive was not well lighted; dark entry ways and alleys opened on It; but the night was clear. Alan could see at the end of the street, beyond the yellow glow of the distant boulevard lights, the He Staggered, 8lipped, Fell Suddenly Forward Upon His Knees Under a Stunning, Crushing Blow Upon His Head From Behind. smooth, chill surface of the lake. A white light rode above It; now, below the white light he saw a red speck— the masthead and port lanterns of a steamer northward bound. Farther out, a second white glow appeared from behind the obscuration of the buildings and below it a green speck— a starboard light Information he had gained enabled him to recognize In these lights two steamers passing one another at the harbor mouth. His thoughts turned to Constance SherrUi. Events since he had talked with her that morning had put them far apart once more; but, In another way, they were being drawn closer together. For he knew now that she was caught as well as he In the mesh of consequences of acts not their own. He staggered, slipped, fell suddenly forward upon his knees, under a stunning, crushing blow upon his head from behind. Thought consciousness almost l o s t he struggled, twisting himself about to grasp at his assailant He caught the man's clothing, trying to drag himself u p ; fighting blindly, dazedly, unable to see or think, he shouted aloud and then again, aloud. H t seemed in the distance to hear answering cries i but the weight and strength of the other was bearing him down again to his k n e e s ; he tried to slip aside from i t to rise. Then another blow, crushing and sickening, descended on his head; even hearing left him and, unconscious, he fell forward on to the snow and lay stllL CHAPTER IX. A Walk Beside the Lake.

The nurse nodded and moved oft That It w a s that t t a quarter to five Constance SherrUi waa awakened by the knocking of ono of the servants at bar father*! door. B a r father want down stairs to the telephone inks) n i g h t reply without disturbing Mrs. Bherrfll Constance, kimona over her shoulders, stood at the top of the stairs and waited. It became plain to her at once that whatever had happened had been to Alan Conrad. "Yea, . . . Yea. . . . You are giving him every possible care? . . . a t once," Bhe ran part way down the stairs and met her father as he came up. He told her of the situation briefly. "He w a s attacked on the street late last night) he was unconscious when they found him and took him to the hospital, and has bean unconscious ever since. No one can say yet how seriously he Is injured." She waited in the hall while her father dressed, after calling the garage on the house telephone for him and ordering the motor. When he had gone, ahe returned anxiously to her rooms; he had promised to call her after reaching the hospital and as soon as he had learned the puiticulurs of Alan's condition. It was ridiculous, of course, to attach any responsibility to her father or herself for what hud happened to Alan—a street attack such us might have happened to any uue —yet she felt that they were lu pun responsible. They had let him go to live iiloue in die house In Astor street with no better adviser tliun Wassail uam. Now, and perhaps becuuse Lhey had not warned him, he hud met injury and, it might be, more than mere injury; he might be dying. Something which had disturbed aud excited Alan had happened to him on the iirst night he had pussed in that houso; and now, it appeared, he hud been prevented from passing a second night there. What had preveoted him had been an attempted robbery upon the street, ner father cad said. But suppose it had been something else than robbery. She could not formulate more definitely this thought, but it persisted ; she could not deny it entirely and shake it off. To Alan Conrad, in the late afternoon of that day, this same thought was coming far more definitely and tar more persistently. He had been awake and sane since shortly after noonday. The pain of a head which ached tlnobblngiy and of a body bruised and sore was beginning to give place to a feeling merely of lassitude—a languor which revisited Incoherence upon him when he tried to think. The man who had assailed him had meant to kill; he had not been any ordinary robber. That purpose, blindly recognized and fought against by Alan in their struggle, had been unmistakable. Only the chance presence of passersby, who had beard Alan's shouts and responded to them, had prevented the execution of bis purpose, and had driven the man to swift flight for his own safety. A little before six Constance Sherrill and Spearman called to Inquire after him and were admitted for a few moments to his room. She came to him, bent over him, while she spoke the few words of sympathy the nurse allowed to her; she stood back then while Spearman spoke to him. In tinsucceeding days he saw her nearly every day, accompanied always by her father or Spearman; it was the full two weeks the doctors had insisted on his remaining In the hospital before he saw her alone. They had brought him home, the day before—she and her father, In the motor—to the house on AlStor street. He had Insisted on returning there, refusing the room In their house which they had offered; but the doctor had enjoined outdoors and moderate exercise for him, and she had made him promise to come and walk with her. He went to the Sherrill house about ten o'clock, end they walked northward toward the park. 'There Is something I have been wanting to ask you," she said. "Yes." "That night when you were hurt—It was for robbery, they said. What do you think about It?" She watched him as he looked at her and then away; but his face was completely expressionless. "The proceedings were a little too rapid for me to judge, Miss Sherrill." "Bat there was no demand upon you to give over your money before you were attacked?" "No." She breathed a little more qnlckly. "It must be a strange sensation," she observed, "to know that some one has tried to kill you." "It must. Indeed." "You mean you dldnt think that fie tried to kill y o u r **I w a s hardly in a condition. Miss Sherrill, to appreciate anything about the man at all. Why do you ask?" "Because—" She hesitated an Ins t a n t "11 you were attacked to be killed, It meant that you must have been attacked as the son of—Mr. Corv e t Then that meant—at least tt Implied—that Mr. Corvet w a s killed, that he did not go away.

"Mr. Sherrill didn't feel that it was necessary for him to do anything, even though he thought that?" "If Mr. Corvet was dead, we could do him no good, surely, by telling this to the police; if the police succeeded in finding out all the facts, we would be doing only what Uncle Benny did not wish—what he preferred death to. We could not tell the police about it without telling them all about Mr. Corvet, too. So father would not let him. self believe that you had been attacked to be killed.

The Keddle boy replied that his mother would not allow him to go in. However Austin went in and when about four rods from shore suddenly sank. The body did not come to the surface.

BLACKNEY Of Flint, Michigan Republican Candidate FOR CONGRESS Sixth Congressional District At Primaries, Sept. 12, 1922 Th« Sixth Congretsjona*. District includes Genelee, Oakland, Livingston, Ingham Counlic* and part of Wayne County. FARM BUREAU NOTES CONDITION OF CROPS The average codition of nearly all crops in the State according to the August 1 report issued is slightly lower than .i month ago. This is mainly due to a lack of rainfall during .July in the southern four tiers of counties. The drought became quite serious in St. Clair Macomb, Wayne and portions of nearby counties toward the end of the month. The rainfnl was ample in contra] and southern Michigan and all crops were in a generally thrifty condition. Some hay was damaged while .being cured by the frequent rainfall in those portions of the State. The yields of w h e a t and rye proved to be disappointing in many localities as has been the case in surrounding states Fruit and truck crops promise well. BLIGHT IN POTATO AREAS That late blight is actually menacing the potato crop of Michigan has been evidenced within the last few days by the receipt of specimens of plants Inj e c t e d with the disease at the botany d e p a r t m e n t of M. A. C. The danger from blight due to cold wet weather in the early part of the season, was pointed out not long ago by Dr. G. H. Conns, plant pathologist, who recomended thorough spraying with Bordeaux mixture as a preventative measure. The disease is said to be threatening potato fields in the Upper peninsula and in many counties of the lower peninsula, I In spite of the fact that there wasn't any work done on Boys' and Girls' Club Work until .June first, they have made a place for themselves. The selection has been made in cooperation with the Boys' and Girls' Club dep a r t m e n t of M. A. C. on a basis of the work that has been done. Word was received by County Agent C. L. Bolander last week that Livingston County has been selected as one of these four to get a free trip to the State air. These t e a m s will compete at the State F a i r for the free trip to the International Livestock Show. The boys from. Livingston County who are competing fo rthe high team are W a r d Stowe, Glenn A r m s t r o n g , H o w a r d Wilson, Iosco Original Club; Glenn Gibson, Ralph Copeland, H a n d y Didit Club; and Harold Lawson, Robert Borden, Spencer Worthington, H o m a g o Club. These boys go to East Lansing the 18th and 19th to get instructions at M. A. C. for the finals. Three of the other counties will have delegates there at the same time to be drilled. The boys will go to M. A. C. under the leadership of W a r d Andrews Club leader for the H o m a g o Club. It is the aim of the County Agent to have all the Club members from the County to exhibit at the County Fair at Howell With seventy five livestock exhibits to be shown at the County Fair; about two hundred cans of canned goods to be exhibited by the twenty three canning club girls, and the work of one sewing club, it should make an addition to the Fair that will be quite noticeable.

The dust or mud, the grease and grime, the tedious delay—all are things we like to avoid But the time to think about these things i* when you buy the tire—not after the blow-out occurs. For some tires blow out much more easily than others. Outward appearance counts for little. It ia the material te the tire and the construction of it that determines its strength. Qoodyear recognizes these facta and all Goodyear Tires are made of long staple cotton. Take the 30 x 3 # Cross Rib Clincher Tire here illustrated, for example. It ia made of Egyptian and Arizona cotton, tht fibres of which average \yi inches long. Many 3 0 x 3 ^ clincher tires are made of abort staple cotton from yi inch to l H inches long. This means less strength and greater danger of blow-outs—more tire troubles. Yet this high grade guaranteed Goodyear Tire coats only $10.95. You can buy some tires for even leas than this but none with the fine materials and construction of this one. Can you afford to take a chance on more frequent 'tire troubles for the sake of the slightly lower price Of cheaper tires?

"Geroniino, a Chirlcahua Apache chief, nuHinnhed about 1880," reads one entry In the biographical section. J u s t how well this Geronlmo "nourished" only the residents of N e w Mexico a n d Arizona and the soldiers who chased him can tell. T h e y called him the "Indian Devil," the "Apache Terror" a n d the "worst Indian w h o ever lived." H i s mother n a m e d him Go-Yath-Lay, "The Y a w u e r " ; the Mexicans n i c k n a m e d him Geronimo, Spanish for J e r o m e . Like S i t t i n g Bull of the Sioux, Gerunimo w a s a much press-ugented and eventually a highly-overrated Indian. Although he w a s a daring w a r leader, lie w a s not a chief. T h e massacre of.hib w h o l e family by M e x i c a n s lu the early '00's sent him on the warpath a g a i n s t them. The blundering policy of our g o v e r n m e n t t o w a r d s the Apaches w a s largely responsible for his hostility toward A m e r i c a n s . It Is difficult to justify thus s o m e of the c r u e l t i e s practiced by Geronlmo and his Chirlcahua warriors, past musters In the art of hideous torture. T h i s Is w h a t they did to one p r o s e c t - or, who had been w o u n d e d but not f a t a l l y ; C u t t i n g off the s o l e s of his feet the A p a c h e s s t a k e d him down over a red unt hill. There, Instead of killing him, they let the a n t s finish the job. When the g o v e r n m e n t tried to s e t t l e the Chlrleahuas on the San Curios reservation, Arizonu, in 1876, G e r o n i m o and some of the other young l e a d e r s fled to Mexico.

T h e n be led our soldiers a merry chase of more than 3,000 miles all over the S o u t h w e s t and in 1886 w a s finally brought to bay In Mexico by Capt. H. W. L a w t o n .

In 1[)03 he adopted the Christian rellglou and became a devout church-goer. H e joined a Wild West show and in 1004 he attended the St. Louis exposition, where he ultnost got writer's crump from printing his autograph to sell. The last y e a r s of his life were spent in trying to p e r s u a d e the g o v e r n m e n t to retuiu him to his old home in Arizona. He w a s unsuccessful and w h e n he died February 21, liKH), although tie had gone on his last vvar trail nearly a quarter of a century before, he wad still a prisoner of war.

A That is bad," said Nalche, chief of the Chiricahua Apaches, to the elder of his two w i v e s one day. "I will cure you." So he threw a cartridge into the chamber of his ritie and shot her through the knees. Marital troubles of that sort seemed to run In Nalehe's family. An a r m y ofiicer who visited old Cochise, his father, In 1873 in the Dragoon mountains, Arizona, noticed that the c h i e f s hand w a s badly burned in t w o circular holes. H e asked about them and Cochise explained that they had been m a d e by his younger wife, who w a s jealous of the older. She had bit him so badly that he had to cauterize the wound.

REST OF PROGRAM DROPPED Administration's Ship Subsidy Measure Evidently Hasn't a Chance of Getting Through During th« Present Ssasion of Congress. By JAMES P. HORNADAY Wasnington.—The senate which has been struggling along with the wool schedule of the tariff bill—not a most desirable hot-weather topic—would not make much of a protest if President Harding should suggest that the tariff bill be abandoned and thia session of the congress brought to an end. But the President does not Intend to make any such suggestion. He feels that the Republican majority in congress, having undertaken a revision t>f the tariff, should complete the J6b. Whether he will sign any kind of an old bill which Is presented to him is a question which will not be answered tinttt congress completes a revision. The* senate could, of course, recommit the tariff bill to the committee on finance any day if it desired to do it and that would pigeonhole the subject for this session, but the Republican leadership in the senate, such as there is, much as it would like to be rid of t h e tariff bugaboo, has not the courage to advocate pigeonholing the bill. Af for the rest of the legislative program, it has gone by the board, apparently. The real problem before the Republicans in the two branches of the legislative body now is to get the tariff bill through before the heat of the congressional campaign comes on. No one any longer prophesies as to yrhen the senate will finish with the bill in its present form. The controversial nature of the proposed legislation makes it certain that the bill will be in conference a good while. Then after an agreement in conference— the conferees may almost completely rewrite tbe bill If they decide that is the thing to do—each legislative branch will take plenty of time to decide whether it favors the conference report. "October 1 Set as the L i m i t Ninety-five per cent of tbe members of the house of representatives will Insist on an adjournment of this session not later than October hi order that they may give proper atteution to their campaigns for re-election, and one-third of the senators will be In the same frame of mind. So It Is generally agreed that the tariff legislation must be In the hands of the President by the last week In September. Most of tbe Republican leaders are setting their heads very determinedly against attempting any other important legislation in the meantime. It is now about as certain as anything can be, short of the actual development, that there will be no ship subsidy legislation at this session. President Harding, according to persons who are competent to speak, has practically abandoned hope of getting the administration subsidy bill started durlng this session. The nation-wide campaign in the Interest of the measure, much talked about six weeks ago, will not be undertaken. The members of the house of representatives—the Republican members in particular—who were to have set this campaign going during the recess of the house, have not done a thing. There is no attempt to conceal the administration's keen disappointment over the failure of the Republican representatives to take the time during their stay at home to tell the people about the fine points of the proposed subsidy legislation. So far as the administration is advised, not a single speech in favor of fehip subsidy has been made by a member of the house since the recess came on. Not a Chance for Subsidy Now. The outlook now is that the powersthat- be in the house of representatives will decide soon after August 15, the date on which the house is to reconvene, that subsidy legislation must go over. President Harding said publicly some time ago that he would recall the congress if it should adjourn without giving the administration's trabsidy bill due consideration, but a good many things have happened since the President made that observation. As a matter of fact the administration Is not interested at all Just now in legislative matters. The President and his advisers are too much concerned with the Industrial situation to give any special thought to anything else. Even If the house should under pressure from the White House pass the subsidy bill, the legislation will be pigeonholed In the senate. President Harding during the last few days h a s made It a little clearer perhaps than ever before that if bonus legislation should be passed without any provision for getting the money with which to pay the service men, he would veto the bill. The Republican leaders In the senate now understand perfectly well how the President feels tUwit this legislation and the chancer ttiat an effort will he made to put a b o n v bill through following the passage of the tariff bill are dally becoming W>re remote. Country Ssfs From Invasion. The Nstional Defense Act of 1920 prescribes that "the organised peace! •tUbllsboBent Including the regular i army, the National Guard a&i the organised reserves, shall include all of those divisions and other military organizations necessary to form the basis for a complete and immediate mobilization for the national defense Ua the event of a national emergency declared by congress." So far as the defense of the continental United States is concerned, the law evidently contemplates as a minimum requirement for security that the country should be definitely organized to prevent an Invasion in force at the outbreak of hostilities. The military experts say that before the World war such a definite and comprehensive plan was impracticable. Our military resources were too limited and there was no legal sanction for the development of such a system. Since the World war, with the large number of war-trained >«Bcers available, with the initlattb*. of a system for the training of younger men ultimately to replace them, with more adequate sources of military equipment and material, and with a settled legal sanction for the development and training of our traditional citizen arm? in time of peace, the general staff has been able to prepare definite plans for what has aptly been termed "A National Position in Readiness." Under this plan, the military organizations required to secure critical landing places on the coast line and favorable lines of advance upou the land frontiers can be definitely formed and prepared. Defense Is Assured. With such an initial organization assured, the additional military units required for the full prosecution of a serious war can be mobilized at once and brought to full strength without disturbance or interruption. With the territory thus protected against landings in force at the start, and with the machinery for further military ex* ' pansion fully organized, the fleet will be free to deal with the hostile naval forces without concern as to possible invasion. General Pershing says he Is pleased to report that the plans for the "National Position In Readiness" have reached a stage where their practicability, 1^ assured. With 18 divisions and appropriate auxiliaries of the National Guard, supplemented by the regular army prepared for necessary expansion, and with certain special units formed in the organized reserves, the country would be able to cover the coasts and land frontiers against serious Invasion at the start. Behind I this first line, tbe remaining units of 1 the organized reserves, fully const! I tuted with a framework of officers and | non-commissioned officers, will be pre* pared to undertake the training of : their raw recruits at once. The country will thus be able de llberately to develop its military powef to any necessary extent without risk i of serious disaster through surprise at ' the outbreak of war, and without thft necessity of maintaining a burdensome military establishment in time of peace. Such a military organization causes no menace to any other nation, ; hut assures the impregnability of the ; -mtinpntal T'nlted States in the event of attack by any possible hostile combination, General Pershing says. What General Pershing Says. "It Is recognized that the citizen components of the army of the United* States can be only partially trained prior to mobilization," continued the general. "While national defense comprises more than the preservation of our continental Integrity, the initial accomplishment of such security will afford time for the orderly development of our great military resources. Therefore, the permissible minimum of peace training is that required to prevent invasion at the outbreak of war. "For purposes of illustration, let it be assumed that a National Guard division Is assigned the initial mission of defending a given beach section. Upon mobilization the combatant elements of this division at peace strength would be ordered to a training area within reach of this section, which would be prepared for defense. Thereafter It would be practicable to complete the mobilization, equipment and training of the division at war strength. Continuous development in the beach position would not be necessary after its preparation for defense. The troops could be moved back to a convenient training area and could rely upon naval and air reconnaissance to give ample warnings of a possible attack. Thus the initial mission for this division determines the minimum degree of training which mu8t be assured In time of peace, the extent t o which It must be Initially supplied with equipment, and the place where it will have Its original concentration." i True I Detective Stories FOURTH DEGREE Hostile to Dogs and Men. William P. Evans, prosecuting attorney, has received an anonymous letter, asking whether a certain man has paid taxes on his black dog or his white dog, reports the Indianapolis News.

I no, TIERE was but little doubt in the mind of Thomas Byrnes, superintendent of police in New York city, that Louis Hanier had been murdered for the. sake of the money that he was carrying with him at the time. The little Frenchman had been the proprietor of a cafe, and, having a fear of the banks of America, had the habit of carrying hundreds of dollars in his wallet until the opportunity presented itself of purchasing an international money order. One morning he was found dead in the vestibule of his home, a .88 caliber bullet through his heart, and his pocketbook missing. That was all Byrnes bad to work upon, for there were no indications whatever of the persons who had committed the crime. The dispatch with which the matter had been bandied, appeared to point to a professional criminal, so Byrnes gave orders that all the pawnshops In New York were to be closely watched, and reports made to him of the pawning of any ,38 caliber revolvers. Investigation of the dozen or more .38's pawned during the week which followed the Hanier Bhooting, showed that all but one of them had been pledged by persons who very evidently had no connection with the murder. The single exception was one Michael McGloin, whom the pawnbroker in question Identified by means of his photograph in the Rouges' gallery. McGloln's gun had been pawned on the morning after the murder, and, while the police had little difficulty in locating the man himself, there was not a shred of evidence to connect him with the Hanier case, beyond the fact that he had been absent from home on the night of the shooting In the company of four of his boon companions. Quietly, and without allowing a word of his intentions to leak out, Byrnes rounded up the quintet one at a time, none of them knowing that the others were being arrested. Each of them was lodged in a cell by himself and questioned closely as to hi* actions and his whereabouts at the time of the murder, in spite of the fact that Byrnes had definite information that the five men hRd been together, each of them told a different story, and each claimed to have been alone, at n considerable distance from iho Hanier house. "It's no use, inspector," said one of the policemen who had been working on the case about a week after the five men had been picked up, "you can't get a thing out of 'em. They know, all right, but you can't convict any of 'em without a confession—and we've tried everything. Including the 'third degree.' " "Very well," said Byrnes quietly, "we'll have to try the fourth degree." "Fourth degree? What's that?" "Just a little way of getting at the truth when a man wants to hold out on you,'' v.-ns Byrnes' answer. "You think there's no doubt that McGloln's the man? Have him brought to this office tomorrow morning, promptly at ten o'clock." At the time specified, McGloin, sullen and resentful at what he claimed was an Illegal detention, walked into the inspector's office, alone. Had he been interested in such details, he might have noted that Byrnes was seated so that he could watch the window of his office which looked out upon a corridor, and also keep an eye upon the occupant of the only chair In the room, bolted to the floor in front of the desk. But McGloin wasn't worrying about such trifles. He was there to demand his release, and he told the Inspector so in no measured terms. "That's all right, McOloln," replied Byrnes. "Sit down a minute. I've several things to attend to," and he motioned to the chair, placed so that It too commanded a view of the corridor window. A moment later the office door opened and a man came In. Byrnes, watching the guuman closely, saw that he was barely able to suppress a start—for the visitor was the pawnbroker w i t h whom McGloin had pledged his revolver. Without saying a word, the pawnbroker crossed the room, laid McGloln's gun on the Inspector's desk and walked out. "Neat litt>e boy." remarked Byrnes, picking up the revolver. "Ever see It before?" "Never," growled McOloln. "I thought not," was the reply. "It's the gun that Hanier, the Frenchman, was shot with. We've finally got a line on that case, after working on It for over a month. Found a man who was a witness of the shooting—" At this moment, by a prearranged signal, one of McGloln's partners was marched past the corridor window. "Yes," continued Byrnes, appearing not to notice the gunman's agitation, u and we've also found s man who was present"—at which the second of the quintet was ushered past the window— "and two others who have confessed their part in the robbery but who claim that the man who fired the shot was . . ." "Slop it, for God's sake, chief P cried the half-crazed msn In the chair, his nerves shattered by the solitary confinement and the marshalling of evidence under his very eyes. "Stop It! I didn't mean to do It, but—I shot htm!"

STORK MADE LONG JOURNEY Bird Flew From Africa to Germany W i t h a Message From Exile to the Fatherland. The population of Llskau, Germany, noticed one day recently that one of the many storks which annually return to the neighborhood from distant southern zones to rebuild their nests was carrying something about Its neck which only human hands could have fastened there. Repeated efforts to approach the bird had failed, but one of the villagers tinally lured the stork Into his barn and then and there learned that the bird carried a little leather case In which a note was Inclosed. The note revealed that the stork had come all the way from East Africa, where & German colonist, Willi Bucha, has tils little farm near Victoria lake. Bucha must have anticipated that the bird spent his annual vacation In his beloved fatherland, so he wrote: 'Just a greeting to the fatherland." and used the stork to convey his message.

The Standard Oil station nearby was also visited the same night and the proceeds for the burglars can be rep-' 1 resented by a cipher. Except for the damage done in each instance there, was no loss. These are the latest of a series of burglaries committed in Pinckney recently. Some months ago the school house was broken into and damage to quite an extent was done by the vandals, and spine cash was stolen from the Superintendent's office. More recently the elevator was broken into and between twenty and thirty dollars taken. W. H. Clark, (irand Trunk agent, says the burglar-j ies were committed by boys in his opinion; the entrances were made in the same way, by forcing windows open. ANOTHER NARROW ESCAPE HOWELL MICH.

While on his way to Howell north of the Ernest Frost farm his automobile crashed through the road fence at the ditch crossing, the Dodge catapaulting into the ditch about 8 feet below the roadbed. >lr. Mowers was* thrown tlirough the windshield and landed several feet in front of the car. F. E. Weeks, who was following, took the injured man home and the car was* taken out of the ditch and brought back to Pinckney. Mr. Mowers suffered from the shock and two bruises and at first it waa feared he was injured internally but the fears seem to be groundless as he has now almost completely recovered. Just what caused the auto to make the dive into the ditch is a mystery as the road was clear—no autos approaching. The car Itself, while damaged considerably was driven to Pinckney on its own power. It was afterward tuken to Howell for repairs. AFTER MANY DAYS Valentine G. Dlnkle says there is truth in the old saying "When thieves fall out luinest men get their just (lues."* A few months ago, while Mr. and Mrs. Pinkie were visiting in Detroit the cellar of their home here was broken into aiid a barrel of elder was taken therefrom. Mr. Dinkle made no complaint about the burglary but ke"pt <]iiiet and "bided his time." Saturday night some young men Mad .some trouble in town and before the matter was finally adju'sted the cider thief was named and Mr. Dinkle says lie now has a good chance to collect for his loss or get legal satisfaction.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE i v> IIIHIWHH1MI On Friday evening about 60 members of the Federated Sunday School came together in the Ladies Aid rooms in honor of Mr. and Mrs/ F\ E. Weeks. For the past three years Mr. Weeks has been S u n d a y . School Superintendent and a very c e d e n t worker with the young people j>f the community. Mrs. Weeks has been a great help as organist and teacher. It is with regret the Sunday School was obliged t o accept their resignations, Mr. Weeks having accepted a position with t h e Upjohn Company of Kalamaxoo. It was a jolly crowd and the evening was pleasantly spent visiting, also several contests and stunts were enjoyed by all present. Miss Clella Fish then read one of her original poems which was greatly appreciated. While Miss Fish was reading thp norm, at the appointed time P. H. Sw^-thout placed a beautiful wicker fernery in front of Mr. and Mrs. Weeks ns a slight token of esteem from the Sunday School. It is an unusual thing for "Billy" to be in a place where he c a n n o t talk, but he sure had throat trouble that night. H W e r e r , he responded with well chosen remarks. Ice cream and cake were then served after which all joined in singing "dod Be With You T i l l We Meet Again." 611 departed with best wishes for Mr. and Mrs. Week* la their new field of work. implements. Over fifty groups will be shown in this agricultural museum section including besides a complete pictorial display of antique and now obsolete farm operation displays of old threshers operated by horses on a treadmill, an old wooden moldboard plow nnd many other agricultural implements which have been collected together after a most elaborate search t h r o u g h o u t the country which has been directed under t h e personal direction" of Mr. H e n r y Ford. Mr. Ford himself is particularly interested_ ip.Jhis section of antique farm implements through t h e showing of which the development of agricultural methods from the most primitive types will h% traced .step by step. Also on display as a historical exhibition will be shown each of the various types of gasoline engines built under the direction of Mr. Ford, including models of the hrst t y p e of Fordson Tractor, t h e hrst type F o r d Cur and successive developments In these models up to the present stage.

Women of aii ages are selecting them for general day-time wear practically to the exclusion of other types. Even those who have long realized the versatility of clothes Whits Serge Dress Trimmed Red and Black Leather. With of this sort never, in their most sanguine moments, dreamed that they, would be adopted in such a worldwide way, declares a fashion writer lo the New York Tribune. Paris is competing with London and New York in the making of the smartest and most appealing styles in outdoor clothes. When any type of dress is exploited from all sides It always means thnt if the* models are pretty and hecoming a certain number of women will wear them with little sense of fitness. That is, a so-called pastime hat may he worn with a pown to which It is entirely unsulted. This ts ulso true of shoes. We have cut adrift from the old standards which governed the selection of footwear. The hnnl blow was dealt with the wholesale adoption of patent leather for low-heeled walking shoes. With the flooding of the market with many excellent Ideas in dress at one time there J w a y s comes a misnppliratlon of the best of them. Both sweaters and dresses are made In two or more contrasting colors; that is. of silk or • oo| In a plain color patterned in hl;:h relief. Among the prettiest of the sweaters are those in lavender bro. ad*jd In blue. A new model in these shades which closes down the front like the very old-fashioned coat sweater is long, coming almost to the knees, and has long sleeves which flare at the bottom. The>re Is a high cobar buttoning up about the neck. The sweater itself Is lavender and around the bottom and on the sleeves and the collar are squares knitted In blue. ]t Is bloused by means of an elastic band placed low on the inside. White Flannel and Serge. A great demand for any particular type of dress is a wonderful Inspiration to designers and manufacturers and an Incentive to do their best in that particular line. While there <s the greatest diversity of color in the outing costume, here as everywhere else, a few colors become the extreme of fashion. In the plain shades hrown. gray ind white are favorite. while in the brighter hues there are unusual shades of cerise, purple, yellow and red, Emphasis Is placeu on yellow and black used In unison. A complete reaction from black In daytime clothes Is manifesting itself In the other extreme, white, for street wear, particularly white with color. And on thl* wave comes white flannel ns well as white serge of an extremely soft and *5ne texture woven In psrt of camel's hair, which, mixed with th? wool, gives a marvelous effect. The kasha ser<e of Iiodier Is of this character. Jeanne Lnnvln has been responsible largely for this movement to white serge nn I flannel with trimmings of embroidery In high colors, a trimming which she always bar favored and In which st e ever h: s excelled. One of her best models is In white serge em-, hroldered in a brilliant Chinese red with little flakes of black as a relief, j Another Interesting model of white serge '" r>t simple design wirh slim | panels on the bodice and on the skirt. Tlds frock Is embroidered in red and ! black in n .Tugo-Slav pattern. A great many of Lanvin's embroideries are in Russian and Jugo-Slav designs. There are charming frocks of white serge done with bead embroideries in high colors after Russian motifs. Very often such frocks are in coat styles with the Russian bodice crossing. Knglish women long have recog- ' nixed the desirability of flannel for outdoor skirts, Jackets and frocks, and this season sees them adopted In a larger way than ever before. Many American women have felt that flannel w a s not the most practical material. Mexican Drawn Work. Few women realize that the Vlyella flannels are absolutely unshrinkable if properly laundered and that they come in a large variety of styles and weights. It Is possible to obtain the creamy white shades In six different weights. Then there are the stripes, the checks and the Scotch tartan plaids, in addition to the heavy or suiting weights In both white and fancy checks. Smart costumes consisting of a dress and cape are developed from the lighter-weight flannels in. both the white and Ivory shades and topped with hats of a vivid hue. Crepe de chine nnd crepe marocaln still are very Important fabrics for the development of pastime clothes. Lanvin has made a beautiful model in two shades of crepe marocaln. The blouse is of bright red, while the skirt is cream white. The bodice is made to slip on over the head and cut in pointed scallops at the bottom. The sleeves are finished in like manner. The girdle consists ot a narrow strip of the white silk run through medallion slides of coral-colored composition. The skirt has a plaited front panel set in with hemstitching and Mexican drawn work—types of trimming which are very popular Just now. Trimmed With Red Clre Braid. Another successful Lanvin model also is developed in crepe marocaln In two colors, but in this Instance yellow and white are chosen, the blouse being in citron yellow trimmed with black and the skirt in pure white; Jean Patou has been featuring the three-piece suit In his summer Collection. In one of Patou's best models of this sort white serge is the material used and the trimming is red clre braid. The lining of the Jacket and the foundation skirt are of red silk; the blouse is of white crepe georgette. Patou in many of his recent models ha8 shown an extreme fondness for red. He apparently never misses an opportunity to use this color with good effect. It Is pleasingly exploited In a Jacket and dress. These two make up a costume developed In white and red serge. The loore-fltting Jacket is of the red material trimmed with black and red leather, while the dress Is of white serge with leather trimming, An interesting Idea in connection with daytime garments Is the use of Another Winsome rostume l rimmed With Red Cire Braid. large embroidered (;ren-worK rno-rrv grams placed on the center of the blouse just beneath the i#>lnted V collar. This idea is also shown In knitted garments. Enormous Hats. One of the enormous hats beneath which the Parislenne hides herself at present has almost the proportions and half the characteristics of a tent. In black, for example, It has a large, crushed crown of satin rising very high and spreading very wide. Below this spreads a huge expanse of brim, half the size of a parasol. And from the tent-like brim hang curtains of beautiful black lace, falling In front almost to the nose and in back almost to the waist. All-White. All-white costumes are very fashionable. Sometimes a bright-colored hat, or a scarlet lining to the cape, offers a contrasting color note. Orange Blossoms. A set of lingerie for a fastidious hrlde Is made of white silk, and on each piece is a tiny bouquet of orange blossoms. RESULT IN DOUBT UNREST AND DISCONTENT OF T H E PEOPLE WORRY T H E REPUBLICAN LEADERS. SECRET CONFERENCES HELD National Organization Won't Attempt to Direct the State Campaign*— Democrat* Not Yet Making Political Capital Out of Strike Trouble*. By JAMES P. HORNADAY Washington.—The 1922 elections are approaching. In three months from now the country will have Indicated how it feels about a good many matters, some of nation-wide import, others of purely local Interest. The politicians would be happier If they had a better line on what is likely to happen. If surface Indications can be relied on, there are many cross currents to be reckoned with. The United States Is about the only country where people should be happy and contented, but a great many of them are not. Unrest is manifested in many ways. The season has brought bountiful agricultural crops, there is now work for nearly every man who wants work ; wages are high compared with wages In other countries; the country Is at peace with all the world. And still there is disturbed state of mind. The Republican party is more concerned about the existing conditions than the Democratic party because, being the party in power In the federal government and In nearly all the states, It has much at stake. The peculiar situation received attention at a series of secret Republican conferences held at the headquarters of the party here recently. Many of the "best minds" of the party participated in these conferences. The situation in 15 or 20 northern states was examined by the party chieftains, and some 150 congressional districts received attention. Hard to Plan the Campaign. These conferences, according to persons who attended them, did not find It easy to decide on a plan of campaign that would obviously meet the situation. The representatives of the party who were called here have gone home with the understanding that the national organization will probably not attempt very leadership in conditions, it Is asserted, are so unusual that It Is deemed wise for each state organization to work out its own salvation, so to speak. The Democrats, who ulso maintain national headquarters here, have been conferring a good deal and while they are hopeful that things will come their way in November, they realize that no well-informed person would attempt at this time to prophesy as to what will happen on election day. The outstanding feature of the situation les* than three months before the people are to go to the polls, according to spokesmen for each of the national organizations, Is an unusual lack of interest among the masses of the people in purely partisan politics. Party leaders, it is asserted, are not acclaimed as they once were and In some sections of the country may consider tl emselves fortunate If they get a fair hearing. It Is not In evidence that this attitude of the voters generally is directed specially at either of the old political parties. Rather, according to the spokesmen for the two national organizations, it is an Indication of a growing tendency among voters to cut loose from purely political affiliations. No Real National issue. It appears now that there will not be eny outstanding national issues In the coming campaign, unless the tariff can be made such an Issue. The strategists in the two old parties are not disposed to get much excited about the tariiT. They are of the opinion that, generally speaking, the people are not likely to take the tariff Issue very seriously. The Harding administration will, of course, be up for Indorsement. Until recently the Republican leaders have regarded the Harding record as a big asset. Just now they are not certain as to the value they will be able to place on it when the campaign comes on. There has been criticism of the administration's handling of the Industrial situation, but the Republican politicians believe that in the end the country will approve the President's handling of the problem. The Democrats thus far have not been inclined to attempt to make any political capital out of the administration's handling of the strike situation. One decision reached by the Republicans In their series of conferences here this week was that an heroic effort will be made to overcome the feeling against the congress. The congress is, of course, a liability today. The Republican speakers who will go out Into the campaign will be under Instruct i n g to attempt to show that the record of the special session and of the regular session Is not as bad ns the puhllc has been led to believe. It was t h e n e n s e of the Republicans who came in for the week's conferences that the tariff legislation should be disposed of as quickly ns possible and that the c o n f e s s should adjourn by the middle of September. President Stick* Close to Job. President Harding has abandoned ail hope of getting a vacation this summer. Until very recently he had held on to a tentative plan for a rest of three or four weeks in New England. With so many problems pressing for solution, he has decided to remain here. He was compelled to cancel plans for a vacation last summer because of the inability "of the congress to complete the work he had laid out for It. He has had 17 months In the White House without a real break. This surpasses the record of any President within the period of the present generation. Last spring the President made definite plans tor visiting Alaska this summer. He was to have spent the entire month of August in the territory as the guest of Scott C. Bone, the territorial governor. But as the summer came on the congress was still on his hands and it became necessary to abandon the Alaskan trip. Following the cancellation of this plan, the tentative arrangements for a prolonged stay In New England were made. Then the miners' strike and the strike of railroad shopmen demanded the President's attention, and the general industrial situation became no unsatisfactory that it was deemed advisable to give up the plans for going to New England. The United States has had a good many hard-working Presidents, but not one of them put in more hours at hia desk than does President Harding. He frequently gets over to the executive office before the clerical force reports for duty, and It Is a common thing for him to be at his desk until ten o'clock or eleven o'clock at night. This does not mean that he works these long hours without taking some time off during the day. Playa Golf In Early Morning. Unless the pressure of official duties is unusually heavy, Mr. Harding goes out for a round at golf every day. During the last few months he has been going to the golf game early in the morning two or three days in the week. The driver of a milk wagon reported the other morning that as be was passing the White House a little before 6 a. m. he observed the President starting out In his automobile headed In the direction of one of the golf courses, while four secret service men were putting on their collars and neckties as they hurried away in a second machine in pursuit of the President. The sight that interested the driver of a milk wagon is not an unusual one. When the President makes up hli mind the evening before to get an early start on the golf course, he leaves a call for 5 a. m. The secret service men, whose duty it Is always to keep him in sight, are called at the much In the way of j same hour, but some of them live some the campaign. Local j distance from the White House, and ' It frequently happens that they are compelled to hustle. On days when the President does not go to the golf course at 0 a. m., he goes out immediately after breakfast and is back at his desk about 10:30 a. m. Recently on account of the press of business he has done but little golfing In the afternoon. No person acquainted with the hard tasks that confront the President of the United States every day would think of criticising him for taking a little time off each day for recreation. Mr. Harding seldom goes out in his automobile for the mere pleasure of riding. Keep* on Shaking Hands. Recently the President's cabinet has been trying to persuade him to conserve his strength by declining to shake hands with the folks from all over the country who throng Washington during the summer seasou. The President has declined to tun] the tourists away empty handed. Three times a week—nn Monday, Wednesday and Friday—long lines of tourists form in front of the executive oftce, and at one o'clock or thereabouts these lines move forward. Not infrequently the President shakes hands with 500 or 600 persons at )ne of these midday affairs. To a considerable extent the handshaking crowds represent organizations of various kinds. If the industrial situation s.iould be straightened out within the next week or two the^-Presldent would still have the dilatory congress on his hands and would not feel like leaving the .national capital. The determination of the President to stick to his tasks—a determination that has kept him in Washington through two summers—has made it difficult for members of his cabinet to take vacations. Some of them have not had a week's full rest since March 4, 1921. In the old days Washington used to practically shut up shop during the summer season, The Landlord Lied. "You fellows are always pitching into us landlords," he said to a reporter, "but we have our side to the story.

Removal of Restriction* N • c a n a r y D u r Ing the W a r Has Shown World's Faith In Dominion's Future. For a period during the late war, and for a while after its close, there was put into operation by the Canadian fovernment legislation restricting certain classes and people of the countries which were not lined up with the allied nations from being admitted to Canada. This was quite necessary, and the reasons for it will be so apparent that they need not be given. However, the time came, In the early summer of this year, when It was deemed possible to remove some of these restrictions. It was found that there were many who came under their ruling that were of a class that Canada needed and who needed Canada. The restrictions, doubtless, were drastic, but were needful. The news of their removal, sent broadcast, has met with such a response as to give ample evidence that they had not killed interest in Canada, and that faith In the Dominion as a country where a new existence, happy and fruitful, was as complete as ever. As has been stated by one writer dealing with this subject, "the opening of the doors a little wider has but disclosed the dammed-up state of the stream, which, given freer release, 'Is pouring In fuller force over the Dominion." As to the moral effect of the legislation that enabled these restrictions to be carried out, it showed that while Canada was seeking settlers, its lands and Its homes were not intended as a shelter for those unable to meet the standard set as Canada's laws of civilization, the concessions which have removed these restrictions still have In view the maintenance of this standard, and those who are still allowed In are subject to the same requirements that have prevailed for years. As pointed out by the writer previously quoted, "Canada has successfully Impressed on those countries from which she draws her people that her prime and crying need Is for those who will go on land, and of those entering the country the bulk Is composed of agriculturists. Every country which has formerly contributed to Canada's population has resumed Its mission to its shores. "The lowering of the barriers has had a farther-reaching effect than the entry Into the country of many formerly debarred by reasons of financial stringency. It has had a moral effect. The restriction was rightly regarded as an indication of Canada's internal economic condition, and many persons and families of comfortable means contemplating Canadian settlement were discouraged from doing so. In the removal Is seen the first blush of the dawn of better days, and consequently many of those arriving are In a condition to establish rapidly and securely, "Though Canadian Immigration falls broadly Into the two classes, British and American, many European peoples have contributed in a large measure to the agricultural development of the Western provinces, and it Is gratifying to note the same healthy Interest In Canada evinced by the most desirable of these. "Amongst those from the European countries are Serbians, Poles, Swiss, Roumanians, Dutch, Jugo-Slflvs, French, Danish, Norwegians, Swedes, Finns and Lithuanians. All have constituted fine, desirable cltlzen-bulldlng material, as the few detentions and lesser deportations bear testimony. Furthermore, the disturbed industrial conditions of the New England stater5 have resulted in the commencement of an exodus of French-Canadian families Iback to their old homes, which maj j-each an appreciable size. "On all sides this awakening of Interest Is evident. It Is a new faith borne on the crest of the wave of brighter prospects, the dawn of a fuller realization, In the continued inability of many other countries to emerge from the economic slough tnto which the war plunged them, of the desirability of Canada as a country more rapidly throwing off its post-bellum depression, and its great place in the world's Immediate future. "British migration Is of a healthy and desirable order,- of sturdy composition, and frequently heavily capitalized. Many Scottish fanners have already arrived this year." Every state In the Union Is contributing its quota, and Joining with those who have been In Canada for a number of years In the work of reclaiming the virgin prairie of the great plains of the West and converting them into immense fields of golden grain, or its grasses into fodder for the dairy cow or the fattening steer.—Advertisem e n t Why and Wnere.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Seed corn for next season's planting should be selected In the field from the standing stalks in September. The (Jsappointjng search for good seed corn every spring should be a sufficient reason for following this practice, strongly advocated by the United States Department of Agriculture. Any intelligent farmer can go into his own cornfield when the corn Is mature and select high-grade seed if he has planted suitable types of corn and cultivated properly. If he has joined a county movement to develop certain standard varieties of corn which grow In that locality, and If he has raised these strains on his own land, he may reasonably expect a market for any surplus seed. County Agents Report Progress. Various methods were followed last fall by the county agents of the Northern and Western states In their efforts to convince the farmers that field selection of corn was a good thing which would amply pay for any trouble Involved. Similar tactics may well be used this season where for one reason or another the local people are not in the habit of field-selecting their seed corn. In Steele county. Minnesota, selection between September 10 and September 20 was urged. The week of September 24 was chosen as "good seed corn week" in Nance county, Nebraska. It seems likely that the corresponding dates this year will be the best time to go out Into the field and choose the most promising ears, noting the character of the plants on which they grow and the details which Indicate a vigorous and healthy condition. The county agent for Dakota county, Minnesota, reports that a permanent and reliable source of seed corn is being developed by getting certain farmers in the county to speclallre In seed corn week. They are asked to produce a dependable type of Improved corn and to put In facilities for drying and storing it properly. The average farmers are also encouraged to sein the winter bring the best ten ears to the local county schools where shows will be held. The best ten ears from each school will then compete with the other schools of the township and the best from the town with the rest of the county. Six hundred and thirty-nine youngsters promised to try. The agent for Washington county, Indiana, mailed circular letters and publications on the subject to all the farmers of his county in the fall, and had demonstrations given at the schools for the younger generation. The rural teachers in this county include seed selection of corn as a project in their agricultural work. In spite of the development of a very successful central seed corn testing association in Rush county, Indiana, for several years, it Is the opinion of the county agent that the testing alone cannot be depended on for eliminating corn diseases. Soil conditions and the heredity of the seed corn are factors which affect the growth of the corn, and the latter of these can be controlled by more careful selection of seed corn in the fall from the field. Field Selection In Some New Places. A great deal of Interest was manifested in six field demonstrations of seed-corn selection held In Cass county, Missouri. This line of work was entirely new to many of the farmers present. Those who participated in the 260 bushels selected were further convinced of the value of early seed selection from the stalks, because of the adverse weather conditions later in the fall. The autumn was abnormally wet in this section, and the corn matured slowly; then an early freeze in November caused a low percentage of germtnatlon in seed selected haphazard in the ordinary way after gathering the corn. In Mississippi county, Missouri, the work done in relation to the field-crops project in 1920 was mainly concentrated upon* field selection of corn. This was carried out through community meetings which were held in co-operation with the county school superintendent. The advantages of Farmer Should Endeavor to Strike a n Average of Good Ears Like These. lect their own seed, but the definite work of safeguarding the seed corn supply of the county Is being carried on with a few men who are really competent to produce certified seed corn and equipped to handle It. Eventually it is hoped that there will be a man In every township doing this seed corn work and, where possible, having seed corn houses In which to dry It. In Scott county, Minnesota, last year, 4,300 acres of selected seed were planted. For their 1921 planting 32 farmers field-selected their seed corn, and all bad a surplus to sell. Stearns county has 31 co-operators In seed corn work. Minnesota No. 13, Rustless White Dent, and Northwestern Dent were the varieties used. Some of this certified seed was awarded to 30 farmers with their farm bureau renewal, thus Insuring a good distribution for this year. The boys and girls of the county Include field selection of seed corn In their club work. Indiana Has SchooLChHdrsn'a Contest Indiana has been especially active in emphasizing the importance of having erery fanner field-select his seed com from the standing stalks. A report of the county agent leader for Indiana states that In White county a unique proposition was placed before the children In six rural township schools. The pupil and father were to pick out the best bushel of seed corn to be found is the seed at home. This was to be planted on one side of a field, for Identification. The* la tfee fall the pupil I* to pick out 30 or 40 ears from the standing stalks fee asai, and later the method to the Individual farmer were considered paramount, and the improvement of seed corn in the county was also stressed. The demonstrations showed also how field selection would help to eliminate corn-root rot, if ears were selected from stalks that were vigorous and not ripening prematurely and on shanks that showed no evidence of decay. Co-Ope rat I on by Written Agreement The county agetit for Huerfano county, Colorado, visited 20 farmers last year who were among the foremost corn growers, snd made written agreements with each, whereby they promised to raise their corn accord ing to the usual method of cultivation, select seed corn in the field and store It in a dry place where the air would circulate. These fields were all visited by the county agent daring the summer and an accurate estimate made of the percentage of stand each had, thus showing the men of what importance it was to plant seed corn that germinates 100 per cent. Emphasis on field selection of seed corn has been general In all the state* where corn is an Important crop, and many interesting notes on the progress and reception of the work are found In the reports from Ohio, Nevada, New Mexico, Connecticut. Idaho. Illinois, Kansas, New Jersey, New York. Pennsylvania, Sooth Dakota. Utah and Washington. Many germination tests have hepn mad*, and there are frequent school contests to bring to the attention of boys and girls In club work the need for good seed c^rp FOR REAL ECONOMY In the Kitchen USE The Economy BAKING POWDER A Big Time and Money Saver e r ^ ^ * * * ^ When you bake with Calumet you know there will be no loss or failures.

An English clergyman now visiting ihls country tells a story of an eminent Church of England ecclesiastic now dead, who on the occasion of the gathering of the British association, invited the members to an entertainment at his place. But he sent no card to one member of the association, who, thinking that he was the victim of an oversight, mentioned the matter to a mutual friend. "I will speak to the bishop and make that right," said the friend. "It was a mere accident." He did speak to the bishop, to this effect: "By some mischance, Professor Jones has not been invited to the entertainment. Of course you mean him to come?" "No, indeed, I do not," said the bishop, "Nothing can Induce me to ask under my roof a man who has defended the execution of Socrates I"— Philadelphia Ledger. A Bargain.

Colored Messenger Couldn't See Where the "Sport" Came In in That Kind of Fishing. In a government office In Washington one day a Callfomlan was discoursing on the sport of fishing off the Pacific coast, "We all get out in small motorboats," said he, "and fish with a long line baited with flying fish. Anything less than a hundred-pound tuna isn't considered good sport." A colored .messenger had been listening with great Interest to this conversation. "Excuse me, boss," he said, wideeyed, as he stepped up to the group, "but did I understand you to say that you were fishln' for hundred-pound fish in a little motorboat?" "Yes," said the Callfomlan. "we go out frequently." "But," urged the messenger, "ain't you all afeared you might ketch one?" —Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Calling my small daughter, I told h e r to tell the visitor I was not at home. She descended the stairs to do my bid* ding and I tipped softly to the top of the stairs to hear the conversation.

Confrsmatcaal Candidate H a s H a d W k U Experience in Business, F a r m i n g and Public Affairs G r a n t M. Hudson, candidate for the republican nomination for Congress from this district, was born on a farm in Ohio in 1868. P a r t of his boyhood was spent in Lansing, Mich., with his uncle, Martin Hudson, proprietor of the old H u d s o n House. As a young man, he learned the painter's t r a d e , and it was while following his trad* that he first came to realize the advantages of higher education. Determined to realize his ambition along this line, he worked his way t h r o u g h Kalamazoo college, graduating in 1894, and then entered the University of Chicago for his Master's degree. "" Because of ill health, he was obliged to discontinue his college work and took up farming in Kalamazoo county. In 1897 he entered the mercantile held at Schoolcraft, Mich., in a small way, the business prospering aud developing to a point where it was the largest mercantile establishment in t h a t section While he was in Schoolcraft, Mr. Hudson was a member of the school board, member of the council, and president of the village t h r e e terms, and represented his county in the state legislature during the sessions of 1905 and 1907, as well as the special session of 1906. In the legislature, he was father of what was then widely known as the Hudson Local Option bill. H e also took an active p a r t in the adoption of the bills providing for a two cent railroad fare and for direct p r i m a r y elections. In 1910, Mr. Hudson became superintendent of the Detroit district of the Anti-Saloon League, and in 1914 became state superintendent when the h e a d q u a r t e r s were removed to Lansing The adoption of the state wide constitutional dry amendment was accomplished under his leadership and direction. H e resigned from the superintendence of the Anti-Saloon League in 1919, and was appointed by Governor Sleeper a member of the state Industrial Accident Commission. He served the state in that enpaciy until the summer of 1920, when he became general director of the Michigan Baptist Convention. This position calls for n large amount of executive ability, and places him in active business control of the extensive property holdings of the Baptist denomination t h r o u g h o u t the entire state. Since Mr. Hudson sold out his mercantile business, he has been actively interested in agricultural problems, lie is thoroughly familiar with all phases of farming and farm management, as he has continuously operated a farm for many years, his holdings now comprising 320 ,icres. Mr. Hudson is a typical self-made American citizen who has achieved siuan honorary degree from Hillsdale college. He is a t n u t e e of both Kalamazoo :md Hillsdale colleges, and was for some time on the board of control of the state School for the Blind. While in the legislature, he was especially active in behalf of the Industrial School for Boys, and took a leading part in the establishment of the Western State 'formal. This spring, his home community, the city of East Lansing, elected him member of the council, and it has paid him an unparalleled tribute in recent weeks in that every republican voter who could he reached, with but twH) exceptions, signed the Hudson congressional nominating petitions. Mr. Hudwson is a t) pical self-mnde American citizen, ho has achieved success through hard work and public office through recognized public service. His wide experience in business, farming, and public affairs admirably fit hitn for membership in Congress as representative from the sixth district.

Senator Cummins and others warned the senate that the coal question today is the vital problem of the nation transcending in importance the soldier bonus, the tariff or any other issue. "I wonder while the senate was going along discussing 2,000 amendments to the tariff bill if it realized the seriousness of this coal situation?" said Senator Cummins.

But D i k e had said nothing about •pearman. It had been Corvet, and Oorret alone, of whom Luke had s p o k e n ; M w a s Corvet whom he had accused; It w a s Corvet who had gWen him money. Was It conceivable, then, that there had been two such events In Oorvefs life? That one of these areata concerned the Mlwaka and Spearman and some one—some one "with a bullet hole above the eye"— •Who had "got" Oorret; and that the other event had concerned Luke and something else? It was not conceivable, Alan w a s sure; it was all one thing. If Corvet had to do with the Mhraka, then Luke had had to do with It too. And Spearman? But If Spearm a n had been involved In that guilty thing, had not Luke known It? Then why had not Luke mentioned Spearman? Or had Spearman not been really Involved? Had it been, perhaps, omiy evidence of knowledge of what Corvet had done that Spearman had triad to discover and destroy? Alan went to the door and opened It, a s he beard Spearman upon the •tap* again.

MYea?" it was plain that he not only believed but that believing gave him Immense satisfaction. He took Alan's arm and led him into the smaller library. He knelt before one of the drawers under the bookshelves—the drawer, Alan recalled, which he himself had been examining when he had found Wassaquam watching him. He drew out the drawer and dumped Its contents out upon the floor; he turned the drawer about then, and pulled the bottom out of i t Beneath the bottom which he had removed appeared now another bottom and a few sheets of paper scrawled in an uneven hand and with different colored Inks. At sight of them, Spearman, who had followed them Into the room, uttered an oath and sprang forward. The Indian's small dark hand grasped Spearman's wrist, and his face twitched itself Into a fierce grin which showed how little civilization had modified in him the aboriginal passions. But Spearman did not try to force his w a y ; instead, he drew back suddenly. Alan stooped and picked up the papers and put them in his pocket If the Indian had not been there, it would not have been BO eaay for him to do that, he thought CHAPTER X I The Land of the Drum. Alan went with Wassaquam into the front library, after the Indian had shown Spearman o u t "This was the man, Judah, who came for Mr. Corvet that night I was hurt?" "Yes, Alan," Wassaquam said. "He was the man, then, who came here twice a year, at least, to s e e Mr. Corvet T* "Yes." "I was sure of It" Alan said. "Can you tell me now why he came here, Judah?" "I have told you I do not know," Wassaquam replied. "Ben always saw him; Ben gave him money. I do not know why." Alan had been holding his hand over the papers which he had thrust Into his pocket; he went back into the smaller library and spread them under the reading lamp to examine them. But s s he looked the pages over now, he felt a chill of disappointment and chagrin. They did not contain any narrative concerning Benjamin Corvet's life; they did not even relate to a single event. They were no narrative at all. They were—in his first examination of them, he could not tell what they were. They consisted in all of some dosen sheets of Irregular size, some of which had been kept much longer than others, a few of which even appeared fresh and new. The three pages which Alan thought from their yellowed and worn look, must be the oldest, and which must have been kept for many years, contained only a list of names and addresses. The remaining pages, which he counted a* ten In number, contained nearly a hundred brief clippings from newspapers; the clippings had been very carefully cut out, they had been pasted with painful regularity on the sheets, and each had been dated across Its f a c e - dates made with many different pons J their names before?- a t The name* and addresses on these oldest, yellowed page* had been first written, it waa plain, all at the aame time and with the same pen and lak, and each sheet In the beginning had contained seven or eight names. Some of these original names and even the addresses had been left unchanged, but most of them had been scratched out and altered many times—other and quite different names had been substituted; the pages had become finally almost Illegible, irowded scrawls, rewritten again and again in Corvet's cramped hand. Alan strained forward, holding the first sheet to the light Alan seized the clippings he had looked at before and compared them swiftly with the page he had Just read ; two of the names—Westhouse and French—were the same as those upon this l i s t Suddenly he grasped the other pages of the list and looked them through for his own name; but It was not there. He dropped the sheets upon the table and got up and beran to stride about the room. He felt that in this list and in these clippings there must be, somehow, some one general meaning—they must relate In some way to one thing; they must have deeply, Intensely concerned Benjamin Corvet's disappearance and his present fate, whatever that might be, and they must concern Alan's fate as well. But in their disconnection, their incoherence, he could discern no common thread. What conceivable bond could there have been uniting Benjamin Corvet at once with an old man dying upon a poorfarm in Emmet county, wherever that might be, and with a baby girl, now Borne t w o years old, in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin? He called Wassaquam into. the library and brought the lists and clippings out again. "Do you know at all what these are, Judah?*' he asked. "No, Alan. I have seen Ben have 1 and with many different inks, but all in the same irregular handwriting as the letter which Alan had received from Benjamin Corvet Alan, his fingers numb In his disappointment turned and examined all these p a g e s ; but they contained nothing else. H e read one of the clippings, which w a s dated 'Teb. 1912.- T h e passing away of one of the oldest residents of Emmet county occurred at t h e poorfarm on Thursday ef last week.

"No, Alan." - H a v e you ever heard ef any of -That may be. I do not'know. They are common names." I -Do you know the places?" , "Yes—th* places. They are lake ports or little village* on the lake*.

"Yes, Alan." -My father took newspapers from those places, did h e not?" Wassaquam looked over the addresses again. "Yea; from all. He took them for the shipping news, he said. And sometimes he cut pieces out of them—these pieces, I s e e n o w ; and afterward I burned the papers; he would not let me only throw them away." "That's all you know about them, J u d a h r "Yea, Alan; that is slL" Alan dismissed the Indian, who, stolidly methodical in the midst of these events, went downstairs and commenced to prepare a dinner which Alan knew he could not e a t Alan got up and moved about the rooms; he went back and looked over the lists and clippings once more; then he moved about again. H o w strange a picture of his father did these things call up to him t When he bad thought of Benjamin Corvet before, It hsd been aa Sherrlll had described him, pursued by some thought h e could not conquer, seeking relief in study, in correspondence with *dontlflc sodetlea, in anything which could eagros* him and abut out memory. B a t now he must think of him, aot merely a* one trying to forget; what had thwarted Corvet'* life w a s not only in the past; it waa something still going on. i t had amazed Sherrlll to learn that Corvet, for twenty years, had kep f~ace of Alan; but Corvet had kept trace in the same w a y and with the aame Becrecy of many other people—of about a score of people. When Alan thought of Corvet, alone In his silent house, he must think of him as solicitous about these people; as seeking for their names in the newspapers which he took for that purpose, and as recording the changes in their lives. The deaths, the births, the marriages among these people had been of the intensest interest to Corvet It w a s possible that none of these people knew about Corvet; Alan had not known about him in Kansas, but had known only that some unknown person had sent money for uls support. But he appreciated that It did not matter whether they kaew about him or not; for at some point common to all of th,em, the lives of these people must have touched Corvet's life. When Alan knew what had been fhat point of contact, he would know about Corvet ; he would know about himself. Alan had seen among Corvet's books a set of charts of the Great Lakes. He went and got that now and an atlas. Opening them upon the table, he looked up the addresses given on Corvet's list. They were most of them, he found, towns about the northern end of the lake; a very few upon other lakes—Superior and Huron— but most were upon or very close to Lake Michigan. These people lived by means of the lake; they got their sustenance from it, as Corvet had lived, and a s Corvet had got his wealth. Alan was feeling like one who, bound, has been suddenly unloosed. From the time when, coming to see Corvet, he had found Corvet gone, until now, he had felt the Impossibility of explaining from anything he knew or seemed likely to learn the mystery which had surrounded himself and which had surrounded Corvet. But these names and addresses! They indeed offered something to go upon, though Luke now was forever still, and his pockets had told Alan nothing. He found Emmet county on the map and put bis finger on i t Spearman, Wassaquam had said, came from there. "The Land of the Drum 1" he said aloud. Deep and sudden feeling stirred in him as he traced out this land on the chart--the little towns and villages, the Islands and headlands, their lights and their uneven shores. A feeling of "home" had come to him, which he had not had on coming to Chicago. There were Indian names and French up there about the meetings of the great waters. The sense that he w a s of these lakes, that surge of feeling which^&e had felt first in conversation with Constance Sherrlll was strengthened an hundredfold. He gazed down at the lists of names which Benjamin Corvet had kept BO carefully and so secretly; these were his father's people, t o o ; these ragged shores and the Islands studding the channels were the lands where his father had spent the most active part of his life. There, then—these lists now made it certain—that events had happened by which that life had been blighted. North, there by the meeting of the waters, was the region of the wrong which w a s done. "That's where I must go!" he said aloud. "That's where I must go!" Constance Sherrlll, on the following afternoon, received a telephone call from her father; he was coming home earlier than usual, he said; if she had planned to go o u t would she wait until after he got there? The afternoon's mall w a s upon a stand In the ball. She turned It over, looking through It—invitations, social notes. She picked from among them an envelope addressed to herself in a firm, clear hand, which, unfamiliar to her, still queerly startled her, and tore It open. "Dear Mis* Sherrlll," she read. "I am closing, for the time being, the house which, for default of other ownership, I must call mine. The possibility that what has occurred here would cause you and your father anxiety about me in case I went away without telling you of my intention is the reason for this note. B u t it is not the only reason. I could not go away without telling you how deeply I appreciate the generosity and delicacy you and your father have shown me in spite of my position here and of the fact that I had no claim at all upon you. I shall not forget those, even though what happened here last nlgUt make* it impossible for me to try to see you again or even to write to you. "ALAN CONRAD." She heard her father's motor enter the drive and ran to him with the letter in her hand. "He's written to you, then?" he said, at sight of i t "Yes." "I had a note from him this afternoon at the office, asking me to hold in abeyance for the time being the trust that Ben had left me and returning the key of the house to me for safekeeping." "Has he already g o n e r -I suppose s o ; I don't know." "We must find e a t " She caught up Sherrlll hesitated, then assented; and they went round the block together to the Corvet house. Sherrlll, after a few Instants' hesitation, took the key from his pocket and unlocked the door and went in. The rooms, they saw, were all in perfect order; gurnaer cover* had been put upon the furniture; protecting cloths bad been spread o\w the beds upstairs. After their Inspection, they came out again at the frost door, and her father closed it with a snapping of the spring lock. Constance, as they walked away, turned and looked back at the old house, gloomy and dark among Its newer, fresher-looking neighbors, and suddenly she choked, and her eye* grew w e t That feeling w a s not for Uncle Benny ; tke drain of days past had exhausted suc> a w:rg« of feeling for him. That which sh* *o*ild not wink away w a s for the boy wtr» had come to that hous« a few weeka ago and for the man who Just now bud gone. CHAPTER X I I The Thing* From Corv<T*s Pockets, "Miss Constance Shei »111, Harbor Springs, Michigan." The address, in large s c i t w l l n g let. ters, w a s written across tiw. *rrown paper of the package which hefli been brought from the post office in fMj little resort village only a few moments before. The paper covered a shoe kox, crushed and old, bearing the nam* of "S. Klug, Dealer In Fine Shoes, M*\nl towoc, Wisconsin." The box, like the outside wrapping, was carefully SletH with a string. Constance, knowing no one In Manltowoc and surprised at the nature of the package, glanced at the postmark on the brown paper which she had removed ; it too was stamped Msoito woe. She cut the strings about the box and took off tho eover. A black nnd brown dotted silk cloth filled the box; and, seeing i t Constance caught her breath. It was—at least It wa« very like—the ttiuffler which Uncle Benny used to wear in winter. She started with trembling finger*, to take it from the box; then, rtaUi lng from the weight of the packegt that the cloth was only a wrapping or, at least, that other things were in 'h« box, she picked up box and wrapping und ran up to her room. She locked the door and put the box upon the bed; now she lifted out the cloth It was a wrapping, for the heavier thing* cams with It; and now, also, ft revealed Itself plainly as the acarf— Uo« cle Benny'a scarf! A paper fluttered out as she began to unroll it—a little cross-lined leaf evidently torn from a pocket memorandum book. It had been folded and rolled up. She spread it o u t ; writing was upon it, the small Irregular letters of Uncle Benny'i hand. "Send to Alan Conrad," she read; there followed a Chicago address—tha number of Uncle Benny'a house on Astor s t r e e t Below this was anothai line: "Better care of O c s t a n c e SherrUl (Miss)." There followed tho *ber> rills' address upon the Drive. Aad t* this w a s another correction : "Not after June 12; then to Harbor Springs, Mich. Ask some one of ibati be sure the date; after June 12." Constance, trembling, unrolled th« scarf; c o w coins showed from a fold. next a pocketknife, ruined and rusty, next a watch—a man's large gold watch with the case queerty pitted and worn completely through in places and last a plain little band of gold ot the size for a woman's finder—a wed' ding ring.

V <! [ ( •> 1 BLACKNEY IN PINCKNEY William W. Blackney, of Flint, eun- (ttdate for the Republican Congressional nomination from the sixth district, <m the opening leg of his speaking toor inaugurated with a big political Jn&ss meeting in Flint Thursday evening, at which he addressed 3000 persons, was given an enthusiastic reception Saturday by the citizens of Livingston- County. During his tour . v Of the county Mr. Blackney delivered Bice addresses, being greeted by :V*|wgf audiences at every point. £ig>e:*king in Cohoctah, Fowlerville, t eB& Iosco, the Genesee County candidate delivered stirring addresses in Which he outlined the political issues of the day; placing special emphasis OH the transportation problem which ~fc menacing the United States and offered the development of that great natural waterway, the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River as a solution t o that problem. *'Thc completion of this project Would be the greatest boon that can be granted to the farmers and people Of the middle west of which Michigan If a part," Mr. Blackney declared. •There is a population of over forty million people in the 18 states directly affected by such an improvement and to the manufacturers and farmers of this area, the developmeut of this waterway would mean direct communication with the markets and distributing tenters of the world. "At present, in many instances, for every three carloads of grain shipped to an eastern port, two oS them are taken to defray the cost of transportation while the farmer receives the proceeds from the third. This* excessive transportation cost is due largely to the cost of lighterage and terminal charges. "With the development of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, lighterage and terminal charges weuld be almost entirely eliminated with a saving in transportation cost estimated on alone, at $.10 a bushel. This amount saved the farmer would amount to many millions more than the $250,000,- 000 required to finance the project. "The power that can be developed from the rapids of the St. Lawrence River is estimated at four miliionss of horse power, with a cash power of $60,000,000 a year—a sum sufficient to keep up the interest on a bond issue with which to finance the project and to establish a sinking fund with which to retire the bonds. "if 1 am stmt to Congress I pledge myself to make, a careful study of tins proposition which 1 feel i» of vital importance not only to our own district and state but to the entire middle west." in closiug the speaker said, "1 believe congress to be the greatest deliberative body in the world and as a legislatve group without equal. Yet 1 believe that congress lias gradually lost that direct contact with the people necessary to real representation and that is why i have entered this race. 1 did not come before the electorate of this district at the urgent request oi my friends, the hackneyed political reason being used by many candidates but because 1 feel that it is time for Congress to get back to the people and because, if us the people's choice, 1 shall endeavor to establish direct representation to the people of this district iu the Halls of Congress." Says Uncle Ebcn. "Dtr's a heap o' gratitude," said Uncle Eben, "dat ddh't never g\t proper expression, fob de reason dat fullness of de heart is mighty liable to deprive a man of de power of gpeech-makln'." * Jl Triumph, for Value IN the past two months Firestone has built and marketed more tires than in any similar period in its history. This steadily increasing public preference is proof of the xecognition by car owners of the greater values offered by Firestone. It is a tribute to Firestone men—all stockholders in the company—all actuated by the operating principle of Most Miles per Dollar. The high average performance of Firestone Cords is without equal in the annals of tire making and is reflected by the general tendency to specify Firestone for hard service. Taxicab and bus lines, buying tires by the mile, are universally equipping with Firestone Cords. There are many reasons for the high quality of Fireston* tires but chief among the special manufacturing processes are double gum-dipping, thus eliminating internal friction by insulating each cord strand, and air-bag cure, insuring a well-balanced and perfectly shaped product Don't speculate in tires—you will find the right combination of price and quality in Firestone. Come in and let us tell you about the service these Cords are giving other car-owners whom you know. ircston GUM-DIPPED CORDS ^ ^ - ^ S o / t f bu— R. DAY BIRD W. H.

O w r * * U UrMcOum THE DRUG MAN One day there came into our midst (as often happens so) A friendly face, new to our town— the Drug Man, as you -know. He freshened up the store et once and made it up to date; He tried to be obliging from early dawn till late. He served the folks most gladly to fountain pens or pills; He labored to destroy our germs and aches and ills. His efforts soon were noticed extending through the town, And for all general uplift wc marked the druggist down. And so one day the outcome was plainly to be seen—- Our Sunday School needs workers with minds both brisk and keen. The Superintendent's office seemed waiting for this man, And so upon those duties he graciously began. He introduced new methods, he organized the men, * The Reds and Blues held contests, he labored h;ird and then— He took a mean advantage of other local boys, And stole one of our fairest girls without much fuss or noise, However, we forgave him; his helpmeet she became, And in the Federated Church they entered on life's game. Together gave their service, in music, class work, all, Until to other fields of work, they're answering the call. Regretful, yet with kindly wishes for success, Wc speed them on their journey and wish them happiness. We trust that though their paths in life lead far and far away, If through the winding valley, if East or West they stray— If on fame's towering summits, or sunlit mountain peaks They'll carry our good wishes-—both these departing "Weeks." We know they'll not be idle, we know they'll find their work, And when the call to service comes, they'll not be folks to shirk. So though we lose in Pinckney, the Cause still needs their aid, And be it pills or Sunday School, into that work they'll wade. Now just to show our feeling and grateful thanks tonight We offer this slight token, in remembrance true and bright. And when far away from Pinckney, In their busy happy life, We'll remember most sincerely Mr. Floyd Weeks and wife. —CLELLA MYRTLE FISH Only an Amateur.

The crowds attending were larger as was shown by the gate receipts, and everybody seemed to be satisfied with the fair, which this year was under the management of Don. W. Van Winkle. As usual Pinckney was well represented ut the fair and all were well pleased, though many were disappointed that the stores were- all closed and would-be purchasers were unable to supply their needs. The base ball series was a huge success from a drawing standpoint but a disappointment from a sportsman's view. Stockbrid^je was eliminated in the first game by a conglomeration of players of assorted colors labeled for the day "Fowlerville." These variegated whites and blacks also defeated the team hired for the day from many cities to represent Howell, and won the "County Championship" by a lopsided score. Putnam township carried off nearly all the prices for BJack Top sheep when llendee and Son of Pinckney captured six first prizes, four seconds and three thirds out of seven entries, taking in all thirteen prizes out of a total of twenty-one. 4j* PIERCE FAMILY REUNION The seventh annual reunion of the Pierce family was held at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Craft of Marion, Saturday, September 2, 10'J'i, the occasion also celebrating the 37th anniversary of Rev.• and Mrs. X.

After dinner the time was spent in playing games, racing and taking pictn res. In the past year there has been two births in the family, one grandchild, anil the first great-grandchild. The family entertained as guests, Mrs. I.ucinda Kinney, sister of Mrs. Pierce, and her family, Amos Kinney and wife, Ida and .lames Kinney of Watertown, ;md Mrs. Hattie Keavic and son Clifton of Caro. AUSTIN FAMILY REUNION The Austin family reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hall, Saturday Septeyiber 2nd.

The oldest member of the Austin family is Mrs. George Austin, now eighty-eight years of Bfe. PECULIAR POLITICAL ANGLE State Senattr Henry T. R WcfTKooghiol la Flint Henry T. Ross, who has represented Livingston County four times as state legislator, three times as representative and once as senator, has evidently made a good impression in Flint where several -candidates are contesting for the nomination of state senator in a fierce mud slinging campaign. In this county, Mr. Ross, who is a tanned and horny handed farmer, is being strongly supported for the nomination and it seems he has also made a good impression in Gerffcsee County. The Flint Weekly Review in its laat week's issue has the following as a comment on Mr. Ross' candidacy. "Candidate Ross enters the contest for state senate free from any alliance or allegiance to the obnoxious local party machine that a few days ago was so bitterly chastised and repudiated by our city voters. The voting public, with its experience with party machine manipulations in this part of the senatorial district, is certainly to be congratulated when Independent candidates of the Henry T. Ross type submit themselves as candidates for public office. . This sort of independence is the qualification of ail qualifications, and service to the pubile and not to some political machine or bows, results when candidates with this virtue are successfully favored by an electorate. We want no candidate to succeed to the office of State Senator from this district whose self elected political guardian is a vicious political ring that will be well within their rights, when dictating the political conduct of their candidate*, when elected to pmMk o«ce.M Corduroy Cords 30 x 3 1-2 15.95 The Most Tire For the Money What It Really Means It means Genuine Ford Parts, 50 per cent of which retail for less than 10 centn.

With the announcement of the result there was applause from spectators, particularly from one section of the galleries where there were a number of service men. No effort was made to prevent this demonstration. Twenty-seven Republicans and 20 Democrats voted favorably and the opposition vote was divided between 15 Republicans and seven Democrats. Immediately after the passage of the measure the senate directed that it be returned to the house with a request for a conference. Since there is no serious dispute between the two houses on the bonus, the conferees are expected to lay aside the tariff long enough to agree to a report on ' the bonus. j Government experts estimate the total cost of the bonus at $3,845,659,481 j on the basis of 75 per cent of the vet- | erans electing the certificate plan, ' 22½ per cent the farm and home aid, anod 2½ per cent vocational training. This total is exclusive of any appropriations that would be made under the $3,350,000,000 land reclamation provision, but under that provision : the government finally would recover those costs. The total of the certificate plan is placed at $3,364,^.481; farm and home aid, $412,425,000; vo- ,1 cational training, $62,325,000, and cash payments to veterans receiving $50 or less, $16,000,000. As amended by the senate, the soldiers' bonus bill would become effective January 1. 1923, and would provide three optional plans for veterans of the world war other than those whose adjusted service pay would not exceed $50. These would be paid in cash. The options are: Adjusted service certificates, payable in 20 years, or sooner at death, and containing loan provisions. Vocational training aid at the rate of $1.75 a day up to a total of 140 per cent of the adjusted service credit. Aid in purchasing a farm or home, the total amount to range from 100 per cent of the adjusted service credit if the money were advanced in 1923 to 140 per cent of the adjusted service credit if the payment were made in 1928 or thereafter. Adjusted service pay, or adjusted service credit would be figured on the basis of $1 a day for domestic service and $1.25 a day for foreign service, less the $60 paid at discharge. But in no event could the amount of the credit of the veteran who performed no overseas service exceed $500. and the amount of the credit of the veteran who performed any overseas service exceed $625.

He also tells him the legend of the Indian drum, which according to old superstition beat* once for every life lost on the Great Lakes. Twenty years before, the great freighter Mlwaka had gone down with twenty-five on board, but the Drum had aounded for only twenty-four, leaving the Inference that one peraon had been saved.

CHAPTER XII—Continued. — 1 0 - It was In January, 1896, Constance remembered, that Alan Conrad had bean brought to the people In Kansas; fee then waa "about three years old." If this wedding ring was his mother's, the date would be about right; it was * date probably something a-ore than • year before Alan was born. Constance put down the ring and picked •up the watch. It wag like Uncle Benfcjrs watch—or like one of his watches. H e had several, she knew, presented ft* him at various time*—watches alinost always were the testimonials (given to seamen for acts of sacrifice {and bravery. The spring which operated the cover would not work, but Constance forced the eover open. There, Inside the eover at she had thought It would be, was engraved writing. Sand bad seeped Into the eaae; the inscription waa obliterated Jft part T o r his eooraf* and skill In •earn . . . master of . , . which he toettgnt to the ratcoe of the passengpars and crew of the steamer Wlnnefcafo foundering . . , Point, Lake Brie, NOT. 28, 1880, this watch U donated by the Buffalo Merchant*' Ex- Code Beamy's name, evidently, had engraved upon the oQtalde.

The paper was written In pencil ; it had not even been moistened or it would have blurred. There was nothing upon ltrto tell how long ago It had been written; but It had been written certainly before June 12. "After June 12° it said. That day was August the eighteenth. It was seven months since Uncle Benny had gone away. After bis strange interview with her that day and his going home, bad Uncle Benny gone out directly to his death? There waa nothing to show that he had not; the watch and coins must have lain for many weeks, for months, In water and In sand to become eroded In this way. But, aside from this, there was nothing that could be Inferred regarding the time or place of Uncle Benny's death. That the package had been mailed from Manitowoc meant nothing definite. Some one—Constance could not know whom—had had the muffler and the scrawled leaf of directions; later, after lying in water and In sand, the things which were to be "sent" had come to that some one's hand. Most probably this some one had been one who was going about on ships; when hfs ship had touched at Manitowoc, he had executed his charge. Constance left the articles upon the bed and threw the window more widely open. She trembled and felt stirred and faint, as she leaned against the window, breathing deeply the warm air, full of life and with the scent of the evergreen trees about the house. The "cottage" of some twenty rooms stood among the pines and hemlocks Interspersed with hardwood on "the Point," where were the great fine summer homes of the wealthier "resorters." This was Uncle Benny's country. Here, twenty-five years before, he had first met Henry, whose birthplace—a farm, deserted now—was only a few miles back among the hills. Here, before that, Uncle Benny had been a young man, active, vigorous, ambitious. He had loved this country for Itself and for Its traditions, Its Indian legends and fantastic stories. Half her own love for It—and, since her childhood, It had been to her a region of delight—was due to him and to the things he had told her about It Distinct and definite memories of that companionship came to her. This little bay, which had become now for the most part only a summer playground for such as she, had been once a place where he and other men had struggled to grow rich swiftly; be had outlined for her the ruined lumber docks and pointed out to her the locations of the dismantled sawmills. It was he who had told her the names of the freighters passing far out, and the names of the lighthouses, and something about each. He had told her, too, about the Indiana She remembered one starry night when he had pointed out to her in the sky the Indian "Way of Ghosts," the Milky way, along which, by ancient Indian belief, the souls of Indians traveled up to heaven; and how, later, lying on the recessed seat beside the fireplace where she could touch the dogs upon the hearth, he had pointed out to her through the window the Indian "Way of Dogs" among the constellations, by which the doga too could s a k e that journey. It was he who had told her about Michabou and the animals; and ho had been the first to tell her of the Drum. The disgrace, unhapplneaa, the threat of something worse, which must have made death a relief to Uncle Benny, she had seen passed on now to Alan. What more had corns to Alan since she had last heard of him? Word had reached her father through shipping circles in May and again in July which told of inquiries regarding Uncle Benny which made her and her father believe that Alan was searching for hla father upon the lakes. Now theso articles which had arrived made plain to her that he would never find Uncle Benny; he would learn, through others or through themselves, that Uncle Benny was dead. Would he believe then that there was no longer any chance of learning what his father had done? Would he remain away because of that not letting her see or hear from him again? She went back and picked up the wedding ring. The thevght which had come to her that this was Alan's mother's wedding ring, had fastened itself upon her with a sense of certainty. It defended that unknown mother; it freed her, at least, from the stigma which Constance's own mother had been so ready to cast Constance could not yet begin to place Uncle Benny In relation to that ring; but she was beginning to be able to think of Alan and his mother. She held the little band of gold very tenderly in her hand; she was glad that as the accusation against his mother had come through her people, she could tell him soon of tnf** She could net send the ring to him. Dot knowing where he waa; that waa too much risky But she could ssk him to cstne t o her; this gave that right She eat thoughtful for several miav the rise rlssBsi warmly m her quite what's the matter between us these last months, little girl; but I've known. We've been engaged; but th&fs about all there's been to It. Don't think I make little of that; you know what I mean. You've been mine; but—but you haven't let me realize It, you see. And I've been patient, for I knew the reason. It was Ben poisoning your mind against me." "No ! No, Henry P "You've denied It; I've recognized that you've denied It, not only to me and to your people, but to yourself. I, of course, knew, as I know that I am here with your hand in mine, and as we will stand before the a'tar together, that he bad no cause t<J speak against me. I've waited, Connie, to give him a chance to say to you what he had to say; I wanted you to hear It before making you wholly mine. But hand; then she went to her d&ak and wrote: "Mr. John Welton, 7jT"* "Blue Rapids, Kansas. ~* "~ "Dear Mr. Welton: "It Is possible that Alan Conrad has mentioned me—-or at least told you of my father—in connection with his stay ia. Chicago. After Alan left Chicago, my father wrote twice to his Blue Rapids address, but evidently he had instructed the postmaster there to forward his mail and had not made any change In those instructions, far the letters were returned to Alan's address and in that way came back to us. We did not like to press Inquiries further than that, as of course he could have communicated with us If he had not felt that there was some reason lor not doing so. Now, however, something of such supreme Importance to him has come to us that It Is necessary for us to get word to him at once. If you can tell me any address at which he can be reached by telegraph or mail—or where a messenger can find him—it will oblige us very much and will be to his Interest." She hesitated, about to sign It; then, impulsively, she added : "I trust y^ou know that we have Alan's Interest at heart and that you can safely tell us anything you may know as to where he is or what he may be doing. We all liked him here so very much. . . ." She signed her name. There were still two other letters to write. Only the handwriting of the address upon the package, the Manitowoc postmark and the shoe box furnished clues to the sender of the ring and the watch and the other things. Constance herself could rot trace those clues, but Henry or her father could. She wrote to both of them, therefore, describing the articles which had come and relating what she had done. The next noon she received a wire from Henry that he was "coming . up." It did not surprise her, as she | had expected him the end of the week.; Late that evening, she sat with her { H e D r e w H er to Him Powerfully? She mother on the wide, screened veranda. The lights of some boat turning in ! between the points and moving swift ly caught her attention. Felt Him Warm, Almoat Rough With Passions. As It entered If now there's no need to wait any longthe path of the moonlight, its look was , er, you and I. Ben's gone, never to so like that of Henry's power yacht that she arose. It was his way, as soon as he had decided to leave business again and go to her, to arrive as soon as possible; that had been his way recently, particularly. So the I come back. I was sure of that by what you wrote me, so this time when I started to you I brought with me— this." He felt in his pocTcet and brought out a ring of plain gold; he held It beslght of the yacht stirred her warmly • fore her so that she could see within and she watched while it ran in close, stopped and instantly dropped a dingey from the davits. She saw Henry In the stern of the little boat; It disappeared in the shadow of a pier . . . she heard, presently, the gravel of the walk crunch under his quick steps, and then she saw him in the moonlight among the trees. She went down on the path to meet him. "How quickly you cameP "You let yourself think you needed me, Connie P "I did. . . ." He had caught her hand In his and hs held it while he brought her to the porch and exchanged greetings with hsr mother. Then he led her on past and into the house. When she saw his face In the light there were signs of strain In i t "You're tired, Henry P He shook hla head. "It's been roeten hot in Chicago; then I gueas 1 was mentally stoking all the way up here, Connie. But first where are the things you wanted me to see?" She ran upstairs and brought them down to him. Her hands were shaking* now as she gave them to him; she could not exactly understand why; but her tremor increased as she saw hla big hands fumbling as he unwrapped the muffler and shook out the things it Inclosed. He took them up one by one and looked at them, aa she had done. Hla fingers were steady now, but only by mastering of control, the effort for which amazed her. Hs had the watch In hla hand*, "The Inscription Is inside the front** she said. She pried the cover open again and f her say. And so he let her go it her own initials and his and a blank left for the date. Her gaze went from It for an Instant to the box where he had put back the other ring—Alan's mother's. Feeling for her long ago gazing thus, as she must have, at that ring, held her for a moment. Was It because of that that Constance found herself cold now? "You mean you want me to marry you—at once, Henry T He drew her to him powerfully; she felt him warm, almost rough with passions. Since that day when, In Alan Conrad's presence, , ha had grasped and kissed her, she bad not let him "realize" their engagement as 1 he had put It "Why n o t r he turned her face up to his now. "Your mother's here; your father will follow soon; or, If you will, well run away—Constance I You've kept me off so long! You don't believe there's anything against me, dear? Do you? Do you?" "No; no I Of course not P "Then we're going to be married. . . . Right away, we'll have It then; up here; nowP "No; not now, Henry. Net up here P "Not here? Why n o t r She could give no answer. Ha held her and commanded her again; only when he frightened her, he ceased. "Why.must It be at once, Henry? I don't understand!" "It's not must dear," he denied. "It's Just that I want you sol" When would It be, he demanded then; before spring, she promised at last But that waa all he could make read, with him, the words engraved within. " 'As master of . . . ' What ship waa he master of then, Henry, and how did hs rescue the Winnebago's people?" "Hs never talked to me about things like that Constance. This Is all?" "Yes." Henry put the things back In the box. "Of course, this Is the end of Benjamin Corvet" "Of course," Constance said. She was shaking again and, without will- ' Ing It she withdrew a little from Henry. He caught her hand again and drew her back toward him. His hand was quite steady. "You know why I came to you as quick as I could? You know why I— why my mind was behind every thrust ~* the engines?" "No." T o n don't? Oh, you know; you "itist know nowP "Yes, Henry," she said. T v e been patient Connie. Till I got your letter telling me this about Ben, Td waited for your sake—for eur sake*—though it seemed at times It waa impossible* Tee haven't known The next evening. In the moonlight, She drove him to Petoskey. He had messages to send and preferred to trust the telegraph office In the larger town. Alan was driving northward along the long, sandy peninsula which separates the blue waters of Grand Traverse from Lake Michigan; and, thinking of Constance, he knew that she wee sear. Jke net only had retuembered that aha would be north at Har bor Point this month; he had seen In one of. che Petoskey papers that she and her mother were at the SherTtll summer home. Hla Business *now was taking him nearer them than he had boon at any time before; and, If he wished to weaken, fte might convince himself that he might learn from her circumstances which would aid him In hla task. But he was not going to her for help; that was following m his father's footsteps. When he knew every thing, then—not till then—he could ga to her; for then he would know exactly what was upon htm and what he should do. His visits to the people named on those sheets written by his father had been confusing at first; he had had gfeat difficulty in tracing some of them at all; and, afterward, he could uncover no certain connection either between them and Benjamin Corvet or between themselves. But recently, he had been succeeding better In this latter. He had seen—he reckoned them over again—fourteen of the twenty-one named originally on Benjamin Cor^ vet's lists; that is, he had seen either the individual originally named, or the surviving relative written in below the name crossed off. He had found that the crossing out of the name meant that the person was dead, except In the case of two who had left the country and whose whereabouts were as unknown to their present relatives as they had been to Senjamln Corvet, and the case of one other, who VHS ii an Insure asylum. He had found that no one of the persons whom he saw had known Benjamin Corvet personalty; many of them did not know him at all, the others knew him only as a name. But, when Alan proceeded, always there was one connotation with each of the original names; always one circumstance bound all together. When he had established that circumstance as influencing the fortunes of the flrst two <n his lists, he had said to himself, a> *he blood pricked queerly under the ikln, that the fact might hs a mere coincidence. When he established It also aa affecting the fate of the third and of the fourth and of , the fifth, such explanation no longer , sufficed; and he found It In common to all fourteen, sometimes as the bedding factor of their fate, sometimes at only slight*.y aTectlng them, but always It was thett. In how many different ways. In what strange, diverse roanlfestattrms ftot single clrcumstanc* had sprvxd to these people whom Alan had Interviewed! No two of ttwra had beetj affected alike, he reckoned, as he went over his notes of them. Now he was going to trace thofle consequences to another. To what sort of place would It bring him today and what would he And there? He *cnew only that It would be quite dlstJoct from the rest The driver turned aside from the road across a cleared field where ruta showed tbe passing of many previous vehicles; crossing this, they entered the woods. Little fires for eeckinfl burned all about them, and nearer were parked an immense n,wnber o# farm wagons and buggies, with horses unharnessed and munching grain. AV an's guide found a place among thesS for his automobile, and they got out and went forward on foot All about them, seated upon the moss or walk' ing about, were Indians, family groups among which children played. Alan saw among these looking on, the bright dresses and sport coats of summer visitors who had come te watch. The figure of a girl among these caught his attention, and he started; then swiftly he told himself that it was only his thinking of Constance Sherrill that made him believe this was she. But aow she had seen him; she paled, then as quickly flushed, and leaving the group she had been with, came toward him. He had no choice fiow whether hs would avoid her or not; and his happiness at seeing her held him stupid, watching her. Her eyes were very bright and with something more than friendly greeting; there was happiness in them too. His throat shat together as he recognised this, and hla hand closed warmly over the small, trembling hand which she put out to him. All his conscious thought was lost for the moment In tbe mere realization of her presence; he stood, holding her hand, oblivious that there were people looking; the too seemed careless of that. Then she whitened again and withdrew her hand; she seemed slightly confused. He was confused as well; it was not like this that he had meant to greet her; he caught hlmaelf together. Cap in hand, be stood beside her, trying to look and to feel as any or* dlnary acquaintance^ of hers wonJf have looked.

The executive department has reason to believe, so it Is said authoritatively, that the (Jerman government will not object to the United States' holding most of the alien property until suitable provision has been made for the satisfaction of the claims against Germany. T h e State department, in co-operation with the alien property custodian, is now working on some such plan. Some of the large business Interests in Germany whose property Is held here are, so it is asserted, willing that their property shall remain in this country and In the h a n d s of the alien custodian so long- as It Is being managed to good advantage. There Is on deposit In the treasury more than a million dollars in '-ash which this government took from (Jerman nationals. Under the bill which Representative Winslnw has introduced the alien property custodian may deposit this irloney in banks, the deposits to he insured by Liberty bonds as collateral.

It was a c o u n t r y of unknown quantity. It is different today, and it h a s been made different in that short time because of the latent stores of wealth hidden in t h e land, which has been made to yield bountifully through the d a r i n g enterprise of the pioneer and the railways that had the courage t o extend their e n t e r p r i s i n g lines of steel throughout its length and a great portion of its b r e a d t b . Villages and hnml^fs have developed into towns and towns into cities, supported and maintained by thofe who, coming practically from all p a r t s of t h e world, and many, yes. thousands, from the neighboring states to the south, h a v e taken up land that cost them but a trifle as compared with what they wt-re anle to dispose of the holdings upon which they had been living for years. These people brought with them a method In life that electrified and changed the e n t i r e Canadian West.

The skirt slopes to points at the left side and is slashed there. Having bestowed this daring and telling touch to it, the designer centered his thoughts on the girdle and bodice and accomplished something new in each of them. Three strands of silk cord form a belt across the sides and back and fall In long ends at the front, finished with slender silk tassels. The bodice blouses over the girdle at a low waist line. An applique of black silk braid over the lower part of the sleeves is Immensely effective. The round neck with a little "V" shaped slash at the trout Is faced back with crepe de able avenues and they set the pace for Main Street everywhere. Taking the most important items In our wardrobes, as a starting point we consider the suit, and find that its several types are developed on lines- that are dignified. The simplest suit and the most formal one have been taken seriously and their designers do their utmost to make them all that suits can be. Very handsome fabrics and rich embroideries Inspire the designer and make it easy sailing for the creators of formal suits. One of them Is shown at the right of the illustration and the picture tells Its pleasing story perfectly. The coat Is long, with a deep border of embroidery at the bottom, the sleeves flare and are also embroidered, the wide shawl collar Is of Formal Suits in Handsome Fabrics. cbine, which forms a piping for it, and the two silk buttons and loops finish it perfectly.

The victory was nothing short of a personal triumph for Senator Townsend. W h e n the President approved the bill and attached his signature to it at the W h i t e House there was a scene seldom witm .>.>ed.

W h e n he was 21 years old he worked on a farm for one year for ¢300 and was considered to be the best hired m a n In J a c k s o n County, From t h e farmers' standpoint he Is a "good hand on the farm" now and a sensible f a n n e r never discharges a good hand. In t h e s e words Senator Capper, known throughout the nation as a sterling champion of the f a r m e r s ' interests, pays tribute to the Senator: " S e n a t o r Townsend u n d e r s t a n d s thoroughly the needs of t h e agricultural sections of the country and has given valuable support to the various m e a s u r e s designed to r e s t o r e agricultural prosperity. I regard hlra as one of the most influential and useful m e m b e r s of the Senate. T h r e e of the most important bills passed in tne [farmers' Interest are the Co-operative Marketing Bill, the Farm Loan Bank Bill and the Bill to continue the War Finance Corporation. His Influence was invaluable in securing their passage."

Seeley's candidacy for Congress that indicates the determination of Oakland County voters to select a citizen of this county for representative in the Sixth District. The interest and helpful spirit thus far evidenced is not by any means confined to Oakland County as the Pontiac mayor's campaign lias been received with favorable consideration throughout the district. Aside from the element of pride which is a factor of no mean importance there is much in the personality of the local candidate to appeal to the Republican electors. He is favorably regarded because of his sound notions with respect to public m a t t e r s and his substantial back ground of common sense. He is not beset with any frills nor is he the victim of any isms. His j u d g m e n t s are not of the hair-trigger variety nor a t t u n e d to any passing fancy. As a successful business man rje has discovered that the sure and safe way to attain a desired objective is by predicating his desire on the eternal verities. l i e is not afraid of the uncharted sea, but he has the caution and prudence that are vitally essential to voyages in s t r a r ^ e waters. Having arisen from the ranks of those who struggle at the bottom, Mr. Seeley has no false conceptions of the problems of humanity. He is essentially social in his mental make up and the problem of the man in the street is his problem. There is nothing of the demagogue in his mental apparatus nor in his personality. He is wholly in disacord with the policies and methods of the pretender and the panderer to prejudice. He is outspoken, consistent and conscientious. As his speeches have revealed, Mr. Seeley lias the full courage of his convictions and has not hesitated without reservr on matters of current inipnrtancr'and problems of national concern. He is by nature reasonable, contemplative and fair minded. But lie believes in law and order and entertains a profound respect for the Constitution. He .regard1-; the Eighteenth Amendment with approval and s;iys that it makes for "better citizenship, i more prosperous country and happier homes." He has not been afraid to go on record to this effect. It may be fairly said that Mr. Seeley belongs to no class and is tied to no interest. He is essentially a free lance, a citizen who is ready to serve his district and the nation with the fruits of his experience and knowledge that has been gained by lifetime mixing with his fellows in a great variety of ways. 7-",very voter has the right to ask what n candidate's connections are. Does he stand on his own responsibility free and untrameled, or are his interests bound up with certain associates whose inbucnee might be detrimental to the common good? Judged from this standpoint the Oakland County candidate is in a position to approach the electors with a clean slate. He enjoys good health; is a representative type of American citizen, wholesome, likeable and dependable. If the people of this section of Michigan h;»e found that "Thad Secley's word is as good as a bond," it is because that is the kind of a man he is. Those who have interested themselves in his candidacy arc confident that he will be nominated if the primary is well attended. Here Are New Fall Suits Recognition tf Goatha.

"Oh, It is not definite yet—not clear 1" She felt the bitterness In his tone. "They have not any of them been able to make it wholly clear to me. It Is like- a record that has been —blurred.

The only thing that is fully plain is that in every case my inquiries have led me to those who have lost one, and sometimes more than one relative upon the lakes." Constance thrilled to a vague horror ; It was not anything to which she could give definite reason. His tone quite as much as what he said was Its cause. His experience plainly had been forcing him to bitterness against his father; and he did not know with certainty yet that his father was dead. "You'll lunch with us, of course," she said to Alan, "and then go back with us to Harbor Point. It's a day's Journey around the two bays; but we've a boat here." He assented, and they went down to the water where the white and brown power yacht, with long, graceful lines, lay somnolently in the sunlight A little boat took them out over the shimmering, smooth surface to the ship; sweUs from a faraway freighter swept under the beautiful, burnished craft, causing it to roll lazily as they boarded it. A party of nearly a dozen men and girls with an older woman chaperoning them, lounged under the shade of an awning ovtr the after deck. They greeted her gaily and looked curiously at Alan as she introduced him. "Have you worked on any of our boats?" she asked him, after luncheon had been finished, and the anchor of the ship had been raised. A queer expression came upon his face. "I've thought it best not to do that Miss Sherrill," he replied. She did not know why the next moment she should think of Henry. The yacht was pushing swiftly, smoothly, with hardly a hum from its motors, north along the shore. He watched Intently the rolling, wooded hills and the ragged little bays and Inlets. His work and his investlgatlngs had not brought him to the neighborhood before, but she found that she did not have to name the places to him; be knew them from the charts. "Grand Traverse light" he said to her as a white tower showed upon their left Then, leaving the shore, they pushed out across the wide mouth of the larger bay toward Little Traverse. He grew more silent as they approached It "It is up there, Isn't It" be asked. pointing, "that they hear the Drum?" "Yea; how did you know the place?" "I don't know It exactly; I want you to show me." She pointed out to him the copse, dark, primeval, blue In Its contrast with the lighter green of the trees about it and the glistening white of the shingle and of the more distant sand bluffs. He leaned forward, staring at It until the changed course of the yacht &s it swung about toward the entrance to the bay, obscured i t "Seeing the ships made me feci that I belonged here on the lakes," he reminded her. "I have felt something— not recognition exactly, but something tlmt \v.,j like the beginning of recognition— numy times thin summer when 1 saw cert:tu» pi.n i'.v it's like one of those dreams, you know, Ui which you are conscious of having had the same dream before. I feel that I ought to know this place." Tbey landed only a few hundred yards from the cottage. After bidding good-by to her friends, they went up to it together through the trees. There was n small sun room, rather shut off from the rest of the house, to which she led him. Leaving him there, she ran upstairs to get the things. She halted an instant beside the door, with the box In her hands, before she went back to him, thinking how to prepare him against the significance of these relics of his father. She need not prepare him against the mere fact of his father's death; he had been beginning to believe that already; but thf»se things must have far more meaning for him than merely that She went In and put the box down upon the card tab>e, "The muffler In the box was your father's," she told him. "He had it on the day he disappeared. The other things," her voice choked a little, "are the things he must have had In his pockets. They've been lying In water and sand—" He gazed at her. ul understand," he said after an Instant "You mean that they prove his death." She assented gently, without speaking. As he approached the box, she drew back from It and slipped away into the next room. She walked up and down there, pressing her hands together. He must be looking at the things now, unrolling the muffler. . . . What weald he be feeling as he saw them? Would he be glad, with that same gladness which had mingled with her own sorrow over Uncle Benny, that his father was gone—gone from his guilt and his fear and his disgrace? Or would he resent that death which thus left everything unexplained to him? He would be looking at the ring. That, at least, must bring more Joy than gTlef to him. He would recognize that It must be his mother's wedding ring; if It told him that his mother must be dead, it would tell him that she had been married, or had believed that she was married I Suddenly she heard him calling her. "Miss Sherrill 1" his voice had a sharp thrill of excitement. She hurried toward the sun room. She could see him through the doorway, bending over the card table with the things spread out upon its top in front of him. "Yea." He straightened; he was very pale. "Would coins that my father had In his pocket ail ha\re been more than twenty years old?" She ran and bent beside him over the coins. "Twenty years I" she repeated. She was making out the dates of the coins now herself; the markings were eroded, nearly goue In some instances, but In every case enough remained to make plain the date. "Elghteen-ninety — 1894 — 1S89," she made them out Her voice hushed queerly. "What does it mean?" she whispered. He turned over and re-examined the articles with hands suddenly steadying. "There are two sets of things here," he concluded. "The muffler and paper of directions—they belonged to my father. The other things —It Isn't six mouths or less than six months that they've lain In sand and water to become worn tike this; it's twenty years. My father can't have had these things; they were somewhere else, or someone else had them. He wrote his directions to that person— after June twelfth, he said, so It was before June twelfth he wrote It; but we can't tell how long before. It might have beep In February, when he disappeared; It might have been any time after that But if the directions were written BO long ago, why weren't the things sent to you before this? Didn't the person have the things then? Did we have to wait to get them? Or—-was it the instructions to send them that he didn't have? Or, if he had the instructions, was be waiting to receive word when they were to be sent? You thought these things proved ray father was dead. I think they prove he Is alive I Oh, we must think this outl" He paced up and down the room; she sank Into a chair, watching blm. "The first thing that we must do," he said suddenly, "Is to find out about the watch. What Is the 'phone number of the telegraph officer She told him, and he went out to the telephone; she sprang up to follow him, but checked herself and merely waited until he came back. 'Tve wired to Buffalo," he announced. "The Merchants' exchange, If It Is still in existence, must have a record of the presentation of the watch." "Then Joull stay here with us until an answer comes?" "If we get a reply by tomorrow morning ; HI wait till then. If not I'll ask you to forward it to me. I must see about the trains and get back to Frankfort. I can cross by boat from there to Manitowoc—that will be quickest. We must begin there, by trying to find out who sent the package " She helped him put the muffler and the other articles Into the box; she noticed that the wedding ring was no longer with them. He had taken that, then; it had meant to him all that she had known It must mean. . . . In the morning she was up very early; hut Alan, the servants told her, had risen before she had and had gone out. The morning, after the cool northem night, was chill. She slipped a sweater on and went out on the veranda, looking about for him. An Iridescent haze shrouded the hills nnd the bay; In It she heard a ship's bell strike twice; then another struck twice—then another—and another—and another. The haze thinned as the sun prew warmer, showing the placid writer of the bay on which the ships stood double. She saw Alan returning, and knowing from the direction from which he came that he must have been to the telegraph office, she ran to meet him. "Was there an answer?" she inquired eagerly. He took a yellow telegraph sheet "What is it, AlanT she asked. "What Is It about the Mlwaka? You said you'd found some reference to It In Uncle Benny's house. What was it? What did you find there?" "The man—" Alan swallowed and Bteadled himself and repeated—"the man I met In the house that night mentioned i t He seemed to think I was a ghost that had haunted Mr. Corvet— the ghost from the Mlwaka; at least he shouted out to me that I couldn't save the Mlwaka!" "Save the Mlwaka 1 What do you moan, Alan? The Mlwaka was lost with all her people—officers and crew—no one knows how or where!" "All except the one for whom the Drum didn't beat!" "What's that?" Blood pricked In her cheeks. "What do you mean, Alan?" "I don't know yet; but I think I'll soon find out." "No; you can tell me more now, Alan. Surely you can. I must know. I have the right to know. Yesterday, even before you found out about this, you- knew things you weren't telling me—things about the people you'd been seeing. They'd all lost people on the lakes, you said; but you found out more than that." "They'd all lost people on the Mlwaka !" he said. "All who could tell me where their people were lost; a -Save the Mlwaka! What Mean, Alan?" Do You from his pocket nnd held It for her to^-netter for you—for every one—to be read. "Watch presented Captain Caleb Stafford, master of propeller freighter Marvin Halch for rescue of crew and passengers of sinking steamer Winnebago off Long point, Lake Erie." She was breathing quickly In her excitement "Caleb Stafford!" she exclaimed. "Why. that was Captain Stafford of Stafford and Ramsdell! They owned* the Mlwaka!" "Yes." Alan said. ^-^ A great change hall come o>er him since last night; he^wa* under ^motion so strong that he deemed scarcely to dare speak lest It master hlm-^-a leaping, exultant impulse U was, which he fought to keep down* few were like Jo Papo we saw yesterday, who knew only the year his father was lost; but the time always was the time that the Mlwaka disappeared!" "Disappeared !" she repeated. Her veins were pricking cold. What did he know, what could any one know of the Mlwaka, the ship of which nothing ever was heard except the beating of the Indian Drum? She tried to make him say more; but he looked away now down to the lake. "The Chippewa must have come In early this morning," he said. "She's lying in the harbor; I saw her on my way to the telegraph office. If Mr. Spearman has come back with her, tell him I'm sorry I can't wait to see him." "When are you going?" "Now." She offered to drive him to Petoskey, but he already had arranged for a man to take him to the train. She went to her room after he was gone and spread out again on her bed the watch—-now the watch of Captain Stafford of the Mlwaka—with thi« knife and coins of more than twenty years ago which came with It. The meaning of them now was all changed; she felt that; but what the new meaning might be could not yet come to her. Something of It had come to Alan : that undoubtedly, was what had so greatly stirred him; but she could not yet reassemble her Ideas. Yet a few facts had become plain. A maid came to say that Mr. Spearman had come up from his boat for breakfast with her and was downstairs. She went down to find Henry lounging in one of the great wicker chairs in the living room. He arose and came toward her quickly; but she halted before he could seize her. "What's wrong, dear?" "Alan Conrad has been here, Henry." "He has? How was that?" She told him while he watched her intenily. "He wired to Buffalo about the watch. He got a reply which he brought to me half an hour ago." "Yes?" "The watch belonged to Captain Stafford who was lost with the Mlwaka, Henry." He made ne reply ; but waited. "You may not have known that it was his; I mean, vou may not have known that It was he who rescued the people of the Winnebago, hut you must have known that Uncle Benny didn't." "Yes; I knew that, Connie," he answerd evenly. "Then why did you let me think the watch was his and that he must be— dead?" "That's all's the matter? You had thought he was dead. I believed It was lieve that." She drew a little away from blm, with hands clasped behind her back, gazing intently at him. "There was sotne writing found in Uncle Benny's house in Astor street—a list of names of relatives of people who had lost their lives upon the lake. Wassaquam knew where those things were. Alan says they were given to hUn in your presence. Why didn't you tell me about that?" He straightened as If with anger. "Why should I? Because be thought that I should? What did he tell you about those lists?" « "Nothing—except that his father had kept them very secretly; but he's found trot they were names of people who had relatives on the Mlwaka I" "What?" Recalling how her blood had run when Alan had told her that Henry's whiteness and the following suffusion of his face did not surprise ber. "I told that fellow long ago not to Start stirring these matters up about Ben Corvet and particularly I told him that he was not to bring any of It to you. It's not—a thing that a man like Ben covered up for twenty years till it drove him crazy is sure not to be a thing for a girl to know. Let It uJone, I tell you." She stood flushed and perplexed, gazing at him. She never had seen him under strouger emotion, "You misunderstood me once, Connie!" he appealed. "You'll understand me now!" She had been thinking about that injustice she had done him in her thought—about his chivalry to his partner and former benefactor, when Uncle Benny was still keeping his place among men. Was Henry now moved. In a way which she could not understand, by some other obligation to the man who long ago had aided him? Had Henry hazarded more than he had told her of the nature of the thing hidden which, If she could guest it, would justify what he said? She had made Alan promise to write her, if he was not to return, regarding what he learned; and a letter came to her on the fourth day from him In Manitowoc. The post office employees had no recollection* he said, of the person who had malied the package; It simply had been dropped by some one into the receptacle for mailing packages of that sort. Alan, however, was continuing his inquiries. She wrote to him In reply; in lack! of anything more important to tell him, she related some of her activities and Inquired about his. After she had written him thus twice, he replied, describing his life on the boats pleasantly and humorously; then, though she Immediately replied, she did not hear from him again. A new Idea had seized Constance, Captain Caleb Stafford was named among the lost, of course; with him had perished his son, a boy of three. That was all that was said, and all that was to be learned of him, the boy. Alan had been three then. Thjs wac wild, crazy speculation. The ship was lost with all hands; only tfee Drum, believed in by the superstitious and the most Ignorant, denied that. The Drum said that one soul had been saved. How could a child of three have been saved when strong men, te the last one, had perished? And, if he had been saved, he was Stafford's son. Why should Uncle Benny have sent him away and cared for him and then sent for him and, himself disappear* lng, leave all he bad to—Stafford's son? Or was he Stafford's son? Hei thought went back to the thtrvfs which had been sent—the things froiu a man's pockets with a wedding ringamong them. She had believed that the ring cleared the mother's name; might it In reality only more Involve It? Why had It come back like this to the man by whom, perhaps, It had been given? Henry's words came again and again to Constance: "It's a queer concern you've got for Sen. Leave it alone, I tell you!" He knew then something about Uncle Benny which might have brought on some terrlblt thing which Henry did not know bill might guess? Constance went weaW within. Un^le Benny's wife had left him, she remembered. Was It better, after »11. to "leave it alone?" A telegraph envelope addressed te her father was on the table In the ha!L A servant told her the message had coine an hour before, mirl tlmt he hfid telephoned to Mr. SherrlM's nflice. bill Mr. Sherrill was not in. There wns no reason for her thinking Jluit the messr. ise might tie from Ahm evcopt Mi presence In her thoughts, hut she ^enl at once to the telephone nt^l cai'ed her father, He was in nrm, and h« j directs! her to open the message and read it to him. "Have some one." she rend aloud j she choked In her excitement at what came next—"Have some one who knew Mr. Corvet well enough to recog. nize him. even If greatly changed, meet Curferry Number 25 Manitowoc Wednesday this week. Alan Conrad." Her heart was heating fast. "Are you there?" she said Into the phona. "Yes." "Whom shall you send?" There was an Instant's silence. "I shall go myself," her father aaid. She hung up the receiver. Had Aiftn found Uncle Benny? He had found, apparently, some one whose resemblance to the picture she had showed him was marked enough to mnke him believe that person might be Henjaniln Corvet; or he had heard of some one who, from the account he had received, he thought might be. She read again the words of the telegram . . . "even if greatly changed!" and she felt startling and terrifying warning in that phrase. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Oldest United States Post Office.

Still unit, a s s e r t s a fashion w r i t e r in the New York Times. We h a v e grown accustomed to petting and p a m p e r i n g our sleeves as though they were the favorite twins o t h e r sleeve of ribbon—this for a more dressy sort of frock—has strips of picot-edged ribbon iu a narrow width, extending from the elbow away into t h e world in careless lengths. Ingenuity goes a long way in the usiug of ribbon for the beautifying of sleeves. And it is possible for anyune to design a dress t h a t will m a k e use of some valued bit of ribbon to t h e glorification of the whole gown. T h e s e old-fushioned ideas are coming into general usage again, especially with relation to sleeves, for with the evident necessity for making the sleeve a picturesque quantity, all sorts of modes and m a n n e r s must be employed in order to lift the modern sleeve out of the class of the usual. Ruffles of Soft Chiffon. Another sleeve is m a d e of a series of ruffles of soft chiffon. It is a youthful sleeve and one that, doubtless, will find g r e a t favor among the younger girls still wanting to look their fluffiest selves. At any r a t e , it is a sleeve t h a t any mother will love to design for h e r d a u g h t e r ' s p a r t y frock. It carries with It so much of charm and grace. And it Is evident that, with a sleeve of this fluffy character, not a great deal in the way of other t r i m m i n g is needed. T h e r e might be a few ruffles to match on the skirt, but a more attractive idea would be to keep the frock very straight and plain and full, with the low hanging bertha, and the girdle of brightly colored ribbon roses. T h e n let the ruffles on the sleeves in their g r a d u a t e d widths count for everything all by themselves. They will be much more effective t h a t way and will have a chance, without interruption of design, to display the really lovely lines which they establish for the whole costume. An Interesting sleeve finish is suggested for a dinner dress. T h e dress itself is one of those drafted affairs with the lines of t h e fabric m a d e gracefully to follow those of the figure Itself. Then a shaped piece of silver and gold brocade is a r r a n g e d for a low-cut collar and over the arm is hung a strip of the same trimming to make the armhole decoration. By this little trick, that sometimes ugly line of the sleeveless gown is done away with altogether and the arm is still left to shine in uninterrupted splendor. There are any number of a d a p t a t i o n s of this idea to he seen on the newer gowns, and while the combination of black satin with sparkling silver trimming Is one that has found much favor, there are other color combinations which can be worked out most successfully In this way. Among the Handsomer Gowns. White organdie and cream batiste, combined with lace, huve suddenly become very popular among the handsomer gowns for late s u m m e r wear. This may be an Indication, too, that a style of this sort will carry over into winter. But on the street and in all the s m a r t lunching places these days one is very apt to see a black crepe or Sleeve of Lace Cut in Circular Piece ( T o p ) , Having Turned-Back Cuff of W h i t e Moire.

We know now t h a t unless we pay special attention to t h a t portion of our costume we a r e lost us f a r as style is concerned. And we h a v e realized the fact that beautiful sleeves cun make a gown as no other detail can. A trifle of experimentation will show t h a t the design of one's sleeves can be carried into the line of the gown in such a way that the sleeves become and remain the actual center of attraction and style. And now that we h a v e the sanction of Paris for going a h e a d with our sleeve achievements, we should manage to do some ext r a o r d i n a r i l y lovely things during the coming season. We have spent a season in experimentation, as it were, and now, after our months of education, we are launched upon a career of actual artistic accomplishment. T h e style declaration that there is no trimming can he accepted and believed until we consider the sleeves of the day. For all the decoration t h a t o n c e w a s spread over a far broader surface has now been concentrated within the area of the sleeve. We find there n<«t a mere suggestion of trimming, but an actual mass of it. T h e fact Is that often the sleeve Is nothing but trimming, and so greedy is it of the place it has come to hold that it succeeds In preventing decoration in any other place. We find embroidered sleeves, brocaded sleeves, latticeworked sleeves, puffed sleeves, plain sleeves. In fact, there is no end to the s u r p r i s e s that a r e s p r u n g upon us at every turn of fashion's way. Now there a r e certain questions about sleeves which might as well be settled at once. First, sleeves will be long. They will still he full, though not quite so extraordinarily so as they h a v e been. Some of them will be fitted, even from the elbow to the wrist. In evening dresses there will still he only suggestions of sleeves or indications t h a t sleeves might he there in t h a t p a r t i c u l a r space if the thing had RO happened. For coats and capes t h e r e will he those voluminous crosses b e t w e e n sleeves and capes which m a k e the w r a p s look as spacious and comfortable as can be. All of these things will be so, nrid then there will be so m a n y exceptions that the rules will seem utterly superfluous. I Some of the Newer Sleeves. j A study of some of the n e w e r sleeves Is a good approach to the fall ' costumes, for, as h;is been said, they J will set the pace. And, if one's fomi- ( dation fashion knowledge has much to I do with sleeves; then the path to general s m a r t n e s s of attire will he a sim- . pie one indeed. Among three interesting types of sleeves one is m a d e of strips of beautifully b rocaded ribbon. The design is E g y p t i a n , and the colors a r e all those \ gorgeous dull ones t h a t designate t h a t j period. T h e color of t h e gown is a dull I a black satin dress quite handsomely blue and the material Is one of t h o s e j trimmed with some of this .lingerie soft and pliable silk crepes so fash- j trimming that the season's thin and lonable just now.

T h e r e are any n u m h e r of ways of using ribbons In these newer and more e l a b o r a t e sleeves. They fairly blossom forth In this particular, for al! t h e Intensely colored ribbons and all those with metal t h r e a d s and brilliant designs can, In some way, be worked Into the design of a gown so that thla sort of trimming will look like some Intricately executed placement of embroidery.

This Is a sparkling cuff trimming, If you please, but It is only illustrative of the lengths to which the designers a r e going In their effort to supply a touch of daintiness to some of the n e w e r black frocks. Then there is a circular cuff, flaring back and away from the hand, being confined by only the simplest and narrowest sort of a band, closely held about the wrist.

BABY CONTEST AT COUNTY FAIR Some time ago the County Fair Association asked the chairman of the County Red Cross chapter to conducts fi baby contest at the Livingston fair, offering to give three prizes for the most perfect baby. A meeting of the executive committee was called. Dr. K. B. Pierce superintendent of the State Tuberculosis Sanitorium, who is director of public health work in the county and Mrs. W. C. Huntington, cnairman of the Christmas seal sale, were asked to attend. A decision was made to hold this contest, but it was decided that two prizes were sufficient. A contest was held two afternoons! during the fair. Doctors were present to give the physical examination with nurses to assist, lay members acting as clerks. Standard score cards issued by the American Medical Association were used. Nineteen babies were entered. Highest score was 99.3 points, won by Catherine Virginia O' Leary, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Dennis OT.cary, Howell. Second score 99, Frances Jean Hardy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Hardy, Oceola townshrji. Arrangements were also made for a nursery where babies would be cared' for while mothers were attending the fair. This was under the supervision of the executive committee of the Red Cross with ladies from several churches assisting, thus providing a new corn-' mittee for each day, and depriving no one from attending the fair. The Boys' and Girls1 Club exhibits in no small way were u real part of the State Fair at Detroit. Four calves six pigs and five sheep constituted the county quota there. The following were the boys and girls W1K> had their projects there and received the following prizes: William Gilkes, Howell, Sr. yearling Holstein heifer, 1st prizes, $12.00. Carlyle Hoover, Howell, Sr. bull calf, Holstein, 2nd prize, $12.00. Rhodora Crandall, Howell, Jr. calf, Holstein, 2nd prize, $10.00. Hope Carr, Fowlerville; Rhodora Crandall, Howell; William Gilkes and Carlyle Hoover, Howell, Club Exhibit, 2nd prize, $15.00. Glenn Gibson, Fowlerville, Jr. boar pig, Duroc Jersey, 2nd prize, $8.00. Wayne and Glenn Gibson, Fowlerville, Club Exhibit, three sows and one boar, 2nd prize, $12.30. Marion McDonald, Pinckney, Chester White Jr. Sow pig, special prize, $5.00; 2nd prize, $8.00. Glenn Armstrong, Fowlerville, Shropshire Ewe, 1st and 2nd prize, $14.00. Willis Armstrong, Fowlerville, Ewe Lamb, 2nd prize, $6.00. Hubert Sober, Fowlerville, Ram Lamb, 2nd prize, $6.00 Club Exhibit of above boys, 1st prize, $8.00. The total money won by the exhibitors amounts to $126.50, which surely speaks well for the first years efforts. Five first prize ribbons, seven seconds and one third prize were the ribbons won. In fact, every exhibitor drew some money. If this club work had been started in the spring so as to have given club members time to do more fitting, more animals could have been exhibited. Oakland County has invited our boys and girls to exhibit at their fair this week at Milford, and County Agent C. L.' Bolander is moving the same stock there. They are realizing the value of club work and are putting up almost as much money as the State Fair for premiums. The big success of the club work in the County lias been made possible to a great extent by the splendid cooperation of the following banks so far: First State and Savings Bank, Howell; Mcpherson State Bank, Howell; First National Bank, Howell; First State Bank, Brighton. Cooperation of this kind is what every community needs, and the value is two-fold, helping to give the boy and girl of today a start and making better citizens of tomorrow. The general stock judging team were Ward Stowe, Fowlerville; Glenn Armstrong, Fowlerville; and Albert Holdforth, Fenton. The dairy judging team were Harold Lawson, Robert Borden and Spencer Worjhington, all of Howell. These boys all did remarkably well considering the short time they were coached. Ward Andrews accompanied the dairy team and considerable credit is due him for the time he has spent with the boys in preparing them for the contest. The girls' canning team, who represented Livingston County, were Ruth Watters and Helen Sager, accompanied by their club lender, Gladys Wilson, nil of Parkers Corners. This team marie a fine showing at the State Fair and much credit is due their leader. DITCH BLAST ARRANGEMENTS READY Spollad Har "Makeup."

As deterioration is usual in most years during August, notwithstanding this decilne, the prospects are still up to or above the ten year average for all crops except sugar beets and sorghum cane for sirup which arc one and two points, respectively, below.

(In Pan-American Union Bulletin.) H E N t h e possessions taken from Germany during t h e w a r were divided Great Britain, Australia, a n d New Zealand were given " l u n d a t e for the administration of N a u r u Island, a dot of land, 12 miles in circumference Just south of t h e equator, a n d between the Marshall and Solomon Islands groups. N a u r u would be a little over 2,000 miles from J a v a . T h i s diminutive Island h a s 5,000 -acres a n d Is famous for Its valuable deposits of t h e highest grade of p h o s p h a t e of lime—a magic soil fertilizer. T h i r t y years ago Nauru w a s an island n o one thought much about, as no one realized the Immense wealth that lay d e e p and snug among t h e coral pinnacles of the low-set hills in the ceuter of t h e Island. American w h a l e r s would call In thos*e days for w a t e r and pumpkins, and t h e natives then got the reputation of being HO hospitable that the Island was called Pleasant. After American whaling activities ceased in t h e South Pacific, few ships over touched at Nauru. T h e n came the G e r m a n s , who took possession of. t h e island and named it Nauru. But even t h e Germai.s were not a w a r e of the g r e a t value of the island. One day a British vessel put In for supplies of water. On board w a s an e x p e r t in phosphate a n d guano. This m a n , roaming about the hills, soon formed an opinion of N a u r u which w a s t o change it from an island of no consequence into a veritable treasure house of one of the most needed accessories, assuring the h a r v e s t s of t h e a g r i c u l t u r a l world. T o m a k e a long s t o r y a short one, in two years' time a vast industry was organized with every modern appliance of machinery a n d every comfort and convenience for a large scientific and clerical staff, and h u n d r e d s of Chinese and natives from o t h e r South t'aclflc islands were busily engaged digging and blasting out in t h o u s a n d s of tons every month the precious phosphate. Ships came from e v e r y country in t h e world to carry rv.'iiy the wonderful fertilizer; thous a n d s of tons a month grew to hund r e d s of thousands of tons a year, and still the hills of t h e tiny Island look a s if they h a v e only been scratched. Both British and German e x p e r t s have e s t i m a t e d there are nearly fifty million t o n s of the phosphate", and that many g e n e r a t i o n s will come and go before N a u r u is exhausted. T h e bounteousness of N a t u r e is s h o w n In the composition of this magic p r o d u c t — p h o s p h a t e of lime. For years —It is Impossible to tell how many— countless numbers of sea birds were a t t r a c t e d to this tiny Island, w h e r e n e i t h e r m a n nor animal disturbed t h e m , a n d where they found the supera b u n d a n c e of fish usual to deep-sea c o r a l Islands. T h e birds subsisted on fish and created vast deposits of guano, rich In phosphate, which, mingling w i t h the coral rock rich In lime, were t r a n s f o r m e d by n a t u r a l processes, agi s t e d by periodic copious rains, altern a t e droughts, and occasional a n d complete submergings of the island by t h e sea, into t h a t potent, chemical factor phosphate of lime. Today scarcely a bird is to be seen on t h e i s l a n d ; but a rich t r e a s u r e has been handed over to the use and ingen :ity of men. Though the i .land w a s German owned, it was British enterprise t h a t began t h e phosphate industry, and until the w a r t h e utmost harmony existed between the British and German employees and t h e G e r m a n administration. T h i s phosphate Industry comprises a settlement having many miles of electric and steam trains, telephones, electric light, fresh and salt water systems, refrigerators, and a fine sewerage system. T h e r e a r e hospitals for the whites, the Chinese, a n d t h e natives under European doctors and nurses. There a r e great public laundries, excellent houses for married and single workers, a public hall, a t t r a c t i v e recreation and reading rooms, and well laid out grounds for outdoor sports. T h e r e is, moreover, one of the most powerful wireless installations In the world, a n d ships a r e every week bringing news and supplies. N a u r u island, although only 331-3 miles south of the equator, Is one of the healthiest spots on earth, m a l a r i a and other tropical ailments being unknown, and the white community is one of the jolliest and happiest of the ishind world. Of special interest a r c the natives of Nauru, some 2,(XKJ in all, ruled by a native king—a very r e m a r k a b l e man. When in 11)14 the British took over the administration of this island from the Germans, their first care was to make the condition of the natives more satisfactory than it had been ; though they had never been exploited by t h e phosp h a t e industry. U n d e r their king, Oweida by name, they accepted a government having laws partly British and partly native or tribal. They were encouraged to clean u p the island, improve t h e coconut plantations, and to work for pood wages in the phosphate fields. This they h a v e done with the result t h a t they are a happy and contented race, enjoying perfect health and having every comfort a native people can desire. Within t h e last three months British administration h a s given place to Australian, but the same excellent regime Is being maintained,. T h e N a u r u a n s a r e noted for their good manners, the smallest child bowing to a stranger with t h e utmost grace and wishing, in a greeting, every blessing that one kind heart can desire for another. T h e Nauru women are accounted by many t r a v e l e r s t h e handsomest, best-figured women in t h e Pacific, and certainly In their festive a n d dance dresses they show a distinction in t a s t e and designs which is truly remarkable. T h e i r dances a r e clever and not at all monotonous, while t^ialr singing a n d chanting have real melody. Every native m a n a n d hoy, and a good many young women, possess bicycles, a n d most p i c t u r e s q u e cyclists they m a k e in their coconut fiber ridisv or loin clothes. Practically every house h a s a sewing machine, which is put t o many uses, b u t now t h a t t h e native dress is -going out of fashion— which is a pity—shirt a n d dressmaking have become a part of t h e household duties of t h e w o m e n ; indeed, t h e men a r e often found to be quite expert tailors. T h e national sport of t h e N a u r u a n s is frigate-bird capturing. T h e greatest ambition of a native is to own more of these mopy-looking birds than any other native of his village. The tribal wealth of a native is estimated by t h e number of well-filled roosts of frigate birds t h a t he can m a i n t a i n ; and maintenance, it may be added, means much fishing to feed the birds. These birds, uninteresting and always a p p a r e n t l y asleep on t h e roost, a r e capable of an almost h u m a n cunning in t h e m a n n e r in which, as decoys, they can be trained to, capture other birds. On festival days, whole villages meet to contest supremacy in their decoy birds. T h e king presides over t h e t o u r n a m e n t , and the roosts are set up, thnt of each village by Itself. When the decoy birds a r e set free not a wild bird can be seen or heard. Up soar the decoys until lost to sight. Then, presently, t h e air is rent by the s c r e a m s of wild birds gradually enticed to the roosts with the tethered t a m e birds. As they approach the roosts, becoming suspicious of t h e men hidden beneath them, t h e wild birds, deciding that m a t t e r s have gone far enough, try to soar away. Now the real labor begins. With open bills and wide-spread wings the decoys attack their victims, b a r their way, head them off, circling round a n d above th in until they :ire driven to the roosts, btrilled and o>:haurted. At t h e end of t h e t o u r n a m e n t a count is mrw'p, and t h e v'llnge and the villager with the hirgest ruinber of captive birds to tl'eir credit a r e publicly pr.tlsed by t h e k; ng. whereupon feasting and dancing be^'in.

AUTUMN IS ALWAYS BEST TIME TO SELECT HENS FOR BREEDING PuHota T h a t Begirt Laying Early in Desirable Additions (Pr»p*r*d by tb« United St&tas Department of Agriculture.) The improvident man who sold his heating stove In July because the circus w a s near and t h e winter far off differs only in the degree of his shortsightedness from the poultry raiser who w a i t s until spring to select the breeding stock that is to be used to replenish his flock. This Important work of picking out the sui jrlor birds must be done in the fall to get the best results, says the United States Department of Agriculture, for It Is then t h a t the greatest contrast between t h e profitable birds and the poor ones shows up. Of course the culling out of the poor layers should go on all through the summer and fall, but at last the top-notchers should be selected as foundation for the coming flock, which ought to be better each year. Never Use I m m a t u r e Puileta. One good rule to follow is to keep t h e pullets out of the breeding Mock until they a r e fully matured. An immature bird may be a good layer and may be from the best stock, but still It is undesirable. Eggs from pullets not yet f u l y developed will not produce as urge or as strong chicks as those from older hens or fully grown pullets. There is no difficulty In know- • Ing when a bird is m a t u r e enough to be used a s a breeder, a s at t h a t time the eggs laid will have reached the size of the average produced by the general run of hens In the flock. Young pullets always lay a r a t h e r small egg, sometimes very small at the start. Those that m a t u r e early may be picked out by keeping track of the birds that start laying first in the fall. These birds may tie marked with leg bands, so that they will not become mixed during t h e winter with those that star t their work later. The late molters a r e the birds that stick to t h e Job longer, and consequently they m a k e up another group that should be used In forming the breeding flock next spring. Leg bands may be used to distinguish these profitable birds, or, better, the early molters may be marketed so that they will no longer have an opportunity to Fall M a t u r e Quickest and W i l l Make t o Breeding Flock. the house for a thorough ventilation on sunny days. The most successful houses, as found by t h e experiences of hundred s of poultry raisers and by experiments of the D e p a r t m e n t of Agriculture and State experiment stations, a r e from 16 to 20 feet deep If t h e open-front plan is followed. From this point the nearer toward the front the fowls are moved the fewer eggs a r e produced. In smaller houses the relative proportion of openings In the front of t h e house must be reduced during t h e winter months In order to keep the fowls comfortable. Open fronts or openings covered with cotton cloth a r e most practical in deep houses. GET DATA FOR FIGHT ON WHEAT STEM RUST Government Expert In Europe Searching for Information. Doctor S t a k m a n , Minnesota Pathologist, V i s i t i n g Various European Countries, Making Detailed Study of the Dlaeaee. (Prep*r«d by th* United 6t»t«s Department of Africultur*.) In the hope of finding facts that will be of value In fighting the stem rust of w h e a t In this country, Dr. C. E. S t a k m a n , agent of t h e United States Department of Agriculture and pathologist of t h e Minnesota Agricultural experiment station, is spending the summer In various countries of Europe making detailed studies of the occurrence a n d severity of the disease, especially with reference to its appearance on barberry bushes. He is also collecting much Information on rusts In general. In F r a n c e and Spain, where he visited t h e principal wheat-growing regions, he found no Htem rust on wheat, oats, barley or rye. Although there were many barberries, few of them showed nny signs of this rust, but in Spain plant pathologists informed him keep down the average egg production J t h a t t h e common barberry and an In of t h e flock. T h e general-purpose breeds, which include the I'lymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and Wyandottes, a s a rule are not profitable after the second year. It is therefore advisable to cull out all of t h e older birds of this class. Of these, the late molters a r e the ones to select for breeders, Just as in the cuse of fowls of any other breed. Rut the selection of birds on the basis of age and lime of molting is not all the preparation that need be made for raising the foundation for the new Hock. T h e health and thrift of the fowls must be looked after carefully during t h e winter. After selecting the breeding birds the poultry hou*e needs close attention. Keeping it in s a m l u r y condition is one of the important points; also the comfort of the house, which Is closely connected with t h e health of the birds. F o w l s a r e very sensitive to moisture conditions, and these should be controlled carefully by ventilation. When moisture1 from the fowls gathers on t h e ceiling and walls there is apt to be trouble soon. In cold weather this moisture may collect in the form of frost, but the heat from the sun in the middle of the day will melt the frost, and the water, dripping down, will m a k e the litter wet. Hens are a good deal like sheep In their sensitiveness to wet feet, either in the bouse or when' outside, and they cannot be kept in good health on damp litter. A sick hen is a hard proposition to deal with if you expect to get out with a profit on her. It is a lot cheaper to depend on dry litter than on medicines to cure colds and roup.

The open front house with cloth curtains l i t h e most practical means for t h e average flock owner to *eep the house thoroughly aired, and t h e fowls will not suffer from the crid If the building has been properly planned; also t h e egg production will keep up. By going into the house frequently in changing winter w e a t h e r it will be easy to judge of the condition of the atmosphere and hring it to normal by adjustments of curtalna and wlndowa. Moisture can be kept from accumulating by opening u p dlgenous species are responsible for the early appearan 'e of stem rust In the spring. Doctor Stakman reports great interest in breeding and selection of wheat varieties resistant to this disease and emphasizes particularly the work of several eminent French investigators. While traveling through France. Spain and Itnly he found little stem rust, but this little w a s always associated with barberry hnshrs. T h e consensus of opinion In the^e countries is that, although stem rust does occur remote from the barberry, It develops Inter In the crop season and causes very much less damage than in those sections where the shrub Is common.

Several have gone so far as to sny thtft they were persuaded to visit the French battlefields by fraudulent statements. Not only do they find the battlefields a mere few miles in width in spots, but they flnd^grass nnd flowers growing all over them, so that in many place* they seem quite cheery. Instead of having the offensively desolate appearance that one is led to expect from reading war books. Some tourists have been so sadly disillusioned that they say <they will never believe anything else they hear about the war; while others speak of the war with open contempt Conservative students of the tourist problem agree that a new war ought to be staged for the special benefit of these people. Unfortunately they are of a type that is never seen on battlefield* until wars are over, writes Kenneth E. Roberts In the Saturday Eve* nlng Post. Governor's Statement To the People of the State of Michigan: This Is in answer to the mislead* tag and Inaccurate statements being made regarding the state's finances and expenditures during my term as Governor. Briefly, I am submitting for your consideration a short, concise statement, based en offlolal data and figures, open to public Inspection. The yry bad snd wholly unnecessary condition of our State finances which existed prior to 1921 has been largely corrected. The defloit of six million dollars, whioh ths present administration inherited, has been wiped out and at preaent we have a very substantial surplus In the treasury* Operating and administrative costs for departments and Institutions were reduced during the fiscal yesr of 1921 by $1,839,617.63 under what they were in 1920. Your State Tax for 1922 will be 13,140,489.65 leas than it was In 1921 and the lowest since 1918. These results have been brought about by the application of aound business methods to State affairs and the elimination of the old brand of political management. Many of your charitable, penal and correction Institutions were found to be in a deplorable cendltlon and these things have been remedied. We are meeting their every requirement and so, rehabilitating them thst they will function In ths manner and for the purposes for which they were organised. The simplification of gov* ernmental machinery has made It possible to cut out wests and extravagance and plaee our stste activities on the same plane of efficiency and usefulness as those of privately owned enterprises. Beyond all this snd what Is equalr/ important, your government In all its branches hss been kept free from graft and corruption; free from control by Interests of sny sort, political or otherwise; free from the domination of those who would exploit it for and In their own interests. These things should mean much to us as citizens of a great Commonwealth. ALEX. J. GROESBECK.

The postage meter is licensed for use under special rules Issued by the United States Postofflce department Permit to use the meter must be secured from the third assistant postmaster general, division of classification, Washington, D. O. Application must be made through the local postmaster on postofflce form. The machines are leased to users by the manufacturers. The lessee purchases the amount of postage and the postofflce department marks the amount on the register of the machine. For example, should $100 worth of postage be bought, the meter would be placed at 5,000, which would designate the amount In value of two-cent stamps. When these are used the meter is then taken back to the postofflce to' be reset at the amount desired by the user. The register door is locked and sealed by the postofflce after each setting. Each meter prints Impressions corresponding to the denomination and color of the adhesive stamp for which It takes the place. The Inventor gnys that It Is mechanically impossible to waste metered postage, as the register ! will not record unless an Imprint is made on a piece of mall. A set of mterchangeable steel type for the date and hour of mailing Is furnished with each meter.
