The committee in charge' of the picnic grounds Eas made “at least one notable improvement since last year During the dinner hour last year a heavy rain came up and much of the dinner was spoiled and the feasters had to run for shelter. To prevent a like occurrence in the fu ture, the committee in charge of the grounds has erected a large . shed over the long dinner tables which makes it possible for all those • who come to eat in comfort, even if the weathef should be inclement. - The program committee has se cured Mr. Henry R.

The Coolei mee Cornet Band will furnish music for the occasion, f his is one of the best bands in this section and -their music is highly complimented by the large crowds that are always present.

R L Browif and his 'family «pf children -and. grand - children to visit Mocksvilla orice a- year to meet and dine with the widow Anslin and - he* family, to spend sometime in social conversation and . when departing to leave them a little m< tisy for their support and comfort This crowd has Been increasing from year to year in number’s and dona tions from a few d illars to this-year the 23rd .of Jiily to something near forty. The crowd has also increased from,some twenty-five or thirty to this time; from sixty-five to'seventy- 1 five. This time we had the pleasure, of meeting a good :number, (16) of our bid.parishioners from .St. Mat thew’s Lutheran congregation. and some of our old friends in Mocksville. Among these wasvthe^editor of The Davie Record. As mapy. editors feast largely on blackberries this sea son of the year we found him in good health, looking well, sociable and full of fun! We were glad to have him with us. This -trip contains a number of features. In the first’place-it was a- trip of pleasure. The roads from S§JiSbufy ;to Mocksville-and further are'now In a delightful shape, and it is a’pleasure trip to ride over them; Besides that,''the meeting of so many- of our friends doubly paid us for all the sacrifices we made to get there ..- In the second place, it. was a mis sion trip, j.We fehl ■ that these dear old friends are in need of some help financially and religiously; hence we gave them a little, religious instruc tion, praved with them, dined with them and left them something to live on; As these people, are physically unable to attend church we believe that some religious instructjoiTmust be appreciated by them. Tbisniakes it a nrssionary trip. And iii the third place we feel that it was a trip ^of duty. Fur many years the writer has been much in terested in three things—Sunday school, mission work and to remem ber the poor. The apostle Paul said he was always ready to. remember thepoor. We therefore feel its our duty to help the worthy poor when ever and wherever we can. This ,time we had a very favorable day, a large crowd and an enjoyable trip.We are much pleased to See so many Others joining us in this noble work and ..hope these good things may continue. A c.up of cold water in the name of a; disciple shall not lose its reward.. We feel that we have already been rewarded person ally and hope thatr much good has beenBone for the glory of God. We pray that His blessings may rest up on our good intention lDiat His rich est benediction' may., rest on these dear and affectionate people. . OBSERVER. MEW STORE.

Factory in Antwerp District for Treatment of Metal. . .Further information In regard to radium in the Congo Is quoted by Science from tlie bulletin of the Belgian Chemical society to the effect that the sample, of minerals assayed by Professor Sclioep of Uie University of Ghent yielded 424 kg. of uranium and 189 mg. of radium to tlie ton. Tlie minerals came from the Upper Ivat- nngii, In the concession of the Union Miniere, which has intrusted the in dustrial treatm ent of the uranium to the Belgian Societe Generale Metal- lurgique de Hoboken, which has put up a factory for the purpose in the Antwerp district. Other deposits of the same minerals have been found at other points speci fied, and Professor Schoep lias found two new kinds of minerals among them, extremely radioactive. He lias named one “curite” and the other “kasolite;” and announces that the crystals are soluble in nitric, acid, and the. radium salt can then be extracted from the fluid without passing through the usual calcination process.

He was assuming that Clarendon w as an Inno cent man, whereas the clubman knew Jast how guilty he was. Back of the killing lay a conspiracy which might come to light during the Investigation, He dared not face the police. His con science was not clean enough. “Of course Dad’s right. It’s the only way to save your reputation,” Bea trice cried. "I’m not going to leave you till you promise to go straight down there to headquarters. If you don’t you’ll be smirched for life—and you’d be doing something absolutely dishonorable.” He came to time with a heart of heavy dread. “All right, Bee, I’ll go,’’ he promised. “It’s an awful mess, but I’ve got to go through with it, I sup pose.’’ -, "Of course you have,” she fcaid with complete conviction. “You’re not a quitter, and you can’t hide here like a criminal." “We'll have to be moving. Bee,” her father reminded her. “You know we have an appointment to meet the ; district attorney.” Beatrice nodded. W ith a queer feel ing of repulsion she patted her fiance's cheek with her soft hand and whis pered a word of comfort to him^ “Buck up, old boy. It won’t be half as bad as you think. Nobody is going to blame you.” They were shown out by the valet. “You don’t want to be hard on Brom- field, honey,” W hitford told his daugh ter after they had re-entered their car. “He’s a parlor man. That’s the way he’s been brought 'up. Never did a hard day’s work In his life. Everything made easy for him. If he’d ever rid den out a blizzard like Clay or stuck’ It. out In a mine for a week without food after a cave-in, he wouldn’t balk on the job before him. But he’s soft. And he’s afraid of his reputation. That’s natural, I suppose.'” Beatrice knew he was talking to save her feelings. “You don’t need to make excuses' for him, Dad,” she answered gently, with a wry smile. “I’ve got to give up. I don’t think I can go through with it.” . . “You mean—marry him?"' • “Yes.” She added, with a flvre of passionate' scorn of herself: “I de serve what I’ve got I knew; all the'' time I didn't love him. It was sheer selfishness in me to accept him. I wanted what he had to give me.” . Her father drew a deep breath of re lief. ‘Tm glad you see that, Bee. I don’t think he's^good enough for you. But I don’t know anybody that is, come to th a t” “That's just your partiality. Tm a mean little bounder or I never should have led him on,” the girl answered In frank disgust. ' ■ Both of them felt smirched. The be havior of Bromfield had been a reflec tion oh them. They had picked him for a thoroughbred,’.and he had failed them 'at the first test. ' “Well,, I haven’t been proud .of you In that' affair,” conceded Colin. • “It didn’t1 seem like my girl to—” He broke<ofE in characteristic fashion to berate her environment. “It’s this crazy town. The spirit of it gets into a person and he accepts its standards. Let’s get away from here for a while, sweetheart.” \ N . “After Olay Is out of trouble, Dad, i ’ll go with you back to ;Denver or to Europe, or anywhere you say.” “That’s a deal,” he told her .prompt ly. ‘‘We’li stay till after the annual election of the company and then go off on a honeymoon together, Bee.” ' CHAPTER XVII Into the Hands of His Enemy. Durand watted alone for word to be Sashed him that the debt he owed Clay Lindsay had been settled in full. A telephone-lay on the desk close at hand and beside it was a watch. The second-hand ticked its way jerkily round, and round the circle. Except for that the stillness weighed on him unbearably. He paced, up. arid down the room chewing nervously the end of an unlit cigar. -F o r the good tidings which he was anxious to ‘hear was news of the death: of the strong young enemy who had Jbeaten him at every turn. / Why didn’t Collins get to Jhe tele phone? Was it possible that there had l)een a slip-up, that Lindsay had again broken the- trap set 'fo r; him ? Had “SHm’s” nerve failed him? l Qr had Bromfield been unable to bring the vic tim to the ^laughter? His mind went over the details again. -The thing had. been well planned even to the unguarded door through AVhich Collins was to escape. In the darkness “Slim” could do the-job, make his get away along with Dave, and be safe from any chance of Idetitiflcfltion JBromfield1 to save his own hide, would keep still. If he didn’t, Durand was ,'prepared to shift the murder upon his Shoulders, ' Thetnlnute-hand of the watch passe? down from, the quarter to the half and from the half to the three-quarters: 'SQU th e telephone bell .did notH n g The gang leader began-to sweat blood. ■ Had some rone bungled after all fbe : care with which he had laid his plans? A. door dammed below. Honifd footsteps sounded on the stair- treads. Into the room burst a man. “Slim’s been croaked,” he blurted. “W hat!” Durand’s eyes dilated. “At M addockV ' \ ' “Who did it?” . , “De guy he was to gun.” “Lindsay?” “Dut’s de fellow.” “Did the bulls get Lindsay?" “Pinched him right on de spot.” “G un‘Slim,’ did he?” ' ' “Nope.

My. job was dousin’ the glims, and I done it right.” . • ••• ‘W hat about 1Slim?1 W as he shoot ing when he got it?” The other man shook his head: “This Lindsay man claims he was. I talked wit’ a bull afterw ard. Dey didn’t And' no gun on ‘Slim.’ The bull says there was no gun-play.” • . < “W hat became o f ‘Sllm’s’ gun?” “Search me.” Durand slammed a big fist exultant ly down on the desk/ “Better than the way I planned i t If the gun’s gone,' ril fram e Lindsay for the chair. It’s Salt creek for his.” He lost no time in getting into touch with Gorilla Dave, who was under ar rest at ttie station house. From him he learned the story of the killing of Collins. One whispered detail of it filled hlm 'with malicious glee. “T he,boob!' He’ll go to the death chair sure Hf I can fram e him. \Ve’re lucky Bromfield ran back into the lit tle room. tJp .In front a dozen guys might have seen the whole play even In the dark;” Durand spent the night strengthen ing the wgb he had spun to destroy his enemy. S e passed to and fro among those who had been arrested In the raid and he arranged'the testimony of some of them to suit his case. More than one .of theinen caught In the drag net of the police, was willing to see the affray from the proper angle in ex change for protection from prosecu tion! After breakfast Durand went to the Tombs, where Clay had been ^trans ferred at daybreak. 'V . “You needn’t bring the fellow, here,” he ^told the warden. 'TU jgo..right to his cage and.see him. I wantta have a talk with him.” ; ^ Betw een: two guards Clay, climbed the iron steps to an upper tier of cages at the Tombs., He was put into a cell which held two beds, one above; the other, as In the. cabin of an ocean liner. By the. side of; the bunks was a narrow space just long enough %for a. man to take two steps In the same direction. I Au unshaven head was lifted In the. lower bunk'to see why the. sleep of its owner was being, disturbed.' .i . “I’ve brouglit you a cell mate; Shiny,” explained, one of the 'guards. “You want; to be civil to him." He’s just' ^croaked a friend of yours ” ...... \ “For de love .o’ Gawd., Who did he- croak?*’. ‘ ‘ ‘“ Slim’ Jim Collins. Cracked , him: one on th& bean and that was a-plenty, Hope’youll enjoy each other’s society,;' gents.’’, The guard closed the door and departed. > . “Is ■ that- right? DJd youse do up ‘Slim;’ or.w as he kidding me?” . “I • don’t reckon we’ll ■ dlfecuss that subject” said: Clay blaqaly, but with a note of finality In his voIcq. . '■ "v.-ir-; “No offense, boss. It's' an honor .to have so distinguished <t gent for. a 'cell pal. -For that .m atter I ain’t no cheap' rat myself. Dey pinched, me forshovin' - de queer. Td ought to get fifteen years,” he said proudly. , Thib drew,, a {pis" from Lindsay, though- not exactly a- merry oner-^H I you’re uudowfcp-a loos term you can.-it’ ] have some of mine,” he told the coun terfeiter. .. .. 4 “Maybe you’ll go up said Shiny hopefully. Afraid the. allusion; might not b« un derstood, 'h e thoughtfully explained that this was the underworld term-for the electric, chair. ' Clay made no furttfer com ment He found the theme a .gruesome one. “Anyhow, I’m glad dey didn’t put-no holster nor damper-getter wit’ me. Tm ,partickier .W q I m eet De whole pro- fesh is gettiri’ run'dow n at de heei. I’m dead sick of rats who can’t do nothin’ but lift pokes,” concluded the occupant of the lower berth with dis gust. Though Clay’s nerves were of the best he did very little sleeping that night. He was' in a grave situation. Even if lie had a fair field his plight would be sSrtous enough. B ut he guessed that during, the. long hotfrs of darkness Durand was busy weavinfr-a net of false evidence from which he could scarcely ■ disentangle himself. Unless Bromfleld came forward at once as a witness , for him',, his case would be hopeless—and Ciay suspected that the ,clubman would prove only 9 broken reed'as a support. The fellow was selfish to the core. H e had not, In the telling; western phrase, the guts to go through. H e wouId tak eth elin e of least, resistance. Beatrice was in his thoughts a great deal. W hat would she think' ofohim when the news came that he was a murderer, caught by the police in a den of victe w herehe had no business to be? Some deep instinct of his soul told him, that she would brush through the evidence to the essential truth. Slie had failed him once. She would never do It again, He felt su reo f th a t The gray morning broke; and brought with -it the isteaming smell of prison cooking, the sounds of the caged un derworld, the sense of life all around him dwarfed and ,warped to twisted moral purposes. A warden came with breakfast—a lukewarm, muddy liquid he called coffee and a stew In-which potatoes and bits/ of fat beet bobbed HkeUfe. buoys—and Clay ate heartlly while his cellmate favored him, be tween gulps, with a ;mbnologue on Btliicsl PPUtics, and the stateo f society, as these related especially to-Shiny the Shover.. Lindsay, was given to under stand tl)at the Whole world was “on de Spud1V but the' big crooks had fixed the laws, so that they could wear diamonds instead of stripes. ^Presently a guard climbed the iron stairway with a visitor and led the way along the deck outside the tier of cells where Clay had been p u t “He’s In seventy-four, Mr. Durand,” the man said as he approached. “I’ll have to beat it. Come back to the of fice when you’re ready.” . The ex-pugilist had. come to gloat over him. Clay knew It at once. His pupils narrowed. He was lying on the bed, his supple body stretched a t graceful ease; Not by the lift of an eyelid did he recog nize the presence of his- enemy. Durand stood In front of .the cell, hands In pockets, the inevitable unlit black cigar in his mouth. On his face was a sneer of malevolent ,derision. Shiny the Shover bustled forward, all complaisance.., “Pleased to meet youse, Mr. Durand.” - v The gang'politician’s Insolent eyes flWito The Gang Politicians Insolent Eyes • W ent Up an3 DownvHim. 1 Didn’t Come to See- You."., went up and down hlin. ‘I didn’t come to, see you.” • “ ’S allright.

He sauntered’' for ward to the grating, his level gaze on the ward boss. “Shiny, this fellow’s rotten,” he said evenly and impersonally. “He’s riot only a crook, but he’s a crooked crook. He’d throw down his own brother if it paid him.” Durand’s cruel lips, laughed. “Your pal’s a little worried this mornin’, Shiny. He ain’t slept much. You see the bulls got him right. It’s the death chair for him and no lifeboat in sight.” Clay leaned against the bars negli gently. He spoke.with a touch of lazy scorn. 1 “See Qiose scars on his. face,' Shiny—the one on the cheek bone and the Other above the eye. Ask him where he got ’em and how?’’ jerry cursed. He broke into a storm of threats, anger- sweeping over him In furious gusts. H e had come to make sport of his victim and Lindsay somehow took the upper hand a t once. He had this fellow where he wanted him at la s t Yet' the man’s soft voice still carried the note of easy contenipf. If the Arizonan was afraid, he gave no least sign of i t “You’ll sing another-tune before-Tm through with you,” the prize-fighter prophesied savagely. The westerner turned away and swung back to his upper berth. He knew, w hat he had before suspected, that Durand was going to “frame” him if he. could. That information gained, the man no longer interested him. Sullenly Jerry le ft There was no profit In jeering at Lindsay. He was too entirely m aster of every situation that confronted hjm. W ithin the hour. Clay was wakened from: sleep by another guard with word, that he was wanted at the office of the warden. He found waiting him there Beatrice and her father. The girl bloomed in that dingy room like a cac tus in. the desert She came toward him w ith hands ex tended,sjfi her eyes gifts of friendship .and faith. _ ■ ^ "Oh, C lay!” she cried. "Much obliged, little pardner.” Her voice went to his heart like water to tjie-thirsty roots of prickly pears. A warm-glow beat througli his veins. The doubts that had weighed on him dur ing the night were gone. Beatrice be lieved In him. All was well with the world. He. shook hands with Whitford. “Blamed good of you to come, sir.” ‘Why wouldn’t we come?” demanded the mining man bluntly. “We’re here to do what we can for you.” Little wells of tears, brimmed oyer Beatrice’s lids. “I’ve been so worried.” “Don’t you. It’ll be all right." Strangely enough'he felt now that It would. H er coming had brought tip pling sunshine into a drab world. “I won’t now. I’m going to get Evi dence for you. Tell us ail about' i t ” “Why, there isn’t much to tell that you haven’t read In the papers prob ably. He cdme a-shootln’ uad was hit by a. chair.” “Was it you that hit him?” “Wouldn’t I be justified?" he asked gently. “But did you?" For a moment: he. hesitated, then made up his mind swiftly. “Yes,” he told her gravely. - She winced. “ You couldn’t help i t How did you come to be there?” rfI just dropped in." “Alone?” “Yes.”- . He had burned the bridges behind him and was lying glibly. Why bring Bromfield into it? She was going to marry- him In a few days. It her fiance was man enough to come forward and tell tjie truth he would do so . anyhow. I t was up to him. Clay was not going to betray him to Beatrice. “The paper says there was some one witii you.” “Sho! . Reporters sure enough have lively Imaginations.” ' !Johnnie told me you had an engage ment with Mn Bromfield.” “Did you ever know Johnnie get any thing right?” \ .' , '.“And Clarendon SayiS lie was with you at Maddock’s." • Clay had not been prepared for this cumulative evidence. -He gave’ a low iaugh of relief; ‘T m an awful poor liar.’ So Bromfield says he was with me, does, he?” “Yes.”. ...... He Intended to w ait fqr a lead before showing his hand. ..“Then you kjlOw all about it?" he asked carelessly. :. . r Their eye§ were on -each other, keen and watchful. She knew he was con cealing something of importance. He had m eant not to . tell her-that Brom field had been with him; Why? To protect the man- to whom she was en gaged. She jumped to the conclusion that he was still , shielding him. ?Yes, you’re a poor liar. Clay,” she agreed: ' '!Yoii stayed to keep back Col- llnsso as to give Clarendon a- chance to escape." , “Did I?” “Can you deny.it?

We’ll get evidence to show the truth. And "we’il let you know every day what we are doing.” “How about my going bail for you?" asked her father. Clay shook his head. “No chance just y et Let’s make our showing at the coroner’s -inquest. TH do fine and dandy here till then.” H e shook hands with them both and was taken back to his cell. B ut hope was in his heart now. H e knew his friends would do their best to get the evidence to free him. It would be a battle .royal between the truth and a lie. CHAPTER XVIII Bromfield Makes an Offer. A. youth with a face- like a fox sidled up to Durand In the hotel lobby and whispered in his ear. Jerry nod ded curtly, and the man slipped away as furtively as he had come. Presently the ex-prize-fighter got up, sauntered to the street and hailed a taxi. Twenty minutes later he paid IfcAVt*/"yga-f - “You Rotten Traitor! Get Out of My Room or I’ll Call the Police!” ,the driver, turned a corner and passed into an apartm ent house for bachelors. H e took the elevator to the third floor and rang an electric bell at a door which carried the nam e “Mr. Claren don Bromfield.” From the man wha came to the door Mr. Bromfield’s visitor learned that he was not well and could receive no callers. 1Just mention the Omnium club, and say I’m here on very important business,” said Jerry with a sour grin. T ha reference'served as a password. Jerry was admitted to meet a host quite unable to control his alarm. At sight of his visitor Bromfield jumped up angrily. As soon as his man had gone he broke, out in a subdued scream. 1You rotten traitor! Get out of my room, nr I’ll call the police.” Dur; i fopud a comfortable chair, drew a case from his pocket and se lected a cigar. He grinned with evil m irth. . “You will, eh?. Like h—I you will. You’re hldin' from the cops this blessed - minute. : I ’ve just found. out. myself where you live.” “You took my money and threw me down; 'You hired a gunman to kill me.” “Now, what would I do that for? I hadn't a thing In the . world against you,’ an’ I haven’t now.” “T hat d—d ruffian shot: at me. He was- still shooting when I struck him with the chair,” cried Bromfield, his voice-shaking. ■ “H e didn't know it w as you—mis took you to r Lindsay in the darkness.” . -“My G—d, I didn’t mean to kill him.

It is also pointed out that the sur- tev 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 183 to 262 pounds, during the past five vears. Many producers have found it profitable to market tlieir hogs early at light weight before the usual run of heavy hogs later, the de partment savs. If farmers carrv 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 lie 2S per cent larger than last year. Tiie survey indicates a prospective Increase of 49 per cent in the fall far- rowlngs m these states over last year. Last year fall farrowings represented K pec cent of the total farrowings far CORN BELT STATES the year, while this year they-w ill probably represent 35 per cent. If the number of pigs saved per litter Is as low as this spring, however, the pros pective Increase In number of nigs next fall will be materially rtx ed The average number of pigs saved per litter, as reported for this spring, Is 5.66 pigs, com pared,with 6.1 pigs last spring and 5.9 pigs last fall. Sm aller 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 In crease of 14 per cent In the number of litters for the year Is indicated pro vided the intentions of farm ers to pro duce fall pigs are carried out. In the Southern states. Including Georgia, Alabama and MissIsslppiyan 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 I l per cent in the number of litters for the year. The survey is based upon about 200,000 schedules received from farm ers In the Corn Belt states, which produce about 70 per cent of the pigs in the United States, and from farm ers in the eastern and southern states. The schedules were distributed by rural mail carriers to 15 fanners 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 also indicate the num ber of pigs to be produced in the spring of' 1923.

PRODUCING CERTIFIED SEED Many Potato Growers Will Be Dis appointed 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 Departm ent_of Agriculture. Many of these growers will be. disap pointed, however, because they have started 'with stock of .no particular merit- O ver^a. series of years an average of 47 per cent of the entries passed the seedscertiflcatlon require ments, but this year the percentage will probably be- lower- The mosaic standard has’ been raised.

(Prepared by the U nited States D epartm ent of Agriculture.)Every boy or girl- having poultry naturally wishes to earn as much money as possible. To do this every hen should be a good layer. AU cock erels, except those kept for breeding purposes, as well as pullets that lack vigor and vitality1, should be eaten, canned for home use, or sold as soon as they are large enough, says the United States Department of AcrIcuT- ture. Selecting or “wgediwr out” the hens that are poor layers and pidklng out for m arket the cockerels least likely to develop Into good breeders is commonly called “culling” or-culling for eggs and for market. The best time to cull the hens is during August and September, usually from August 15 to September 15, for at that season it is easier to determine which are the good layers and which are boarders. At that time of year hens which show signs of laying or lire laying and have not molted usually are the ones th a t, have been the bet ter layers during the entire season, and the hen that lays best during her first year usually will lay best during her second and third years. She is, therefore, the one to keep. It is not. often advisable, however, to keep hens of the heavier breeds, such as Plym outh Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Brahmas beyond their second year, or the smaller breeds, such as the Leg horns, and Anconas bevond the third i - j. i.. Club Member and His Flock of Rhode Island Reds. year, as they seldom prove profitable. You can learn all about the various tests necessaiy to pick out the good and the poor layers by reading Farm ers’ Bulletin 1112, . which can be ob tained by writing to the Division of Publications, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, Washingtonr D. C. PORTABLE HOUSES ARE BEST Make It Possible to Keep Young Grow ing Fowlp on Fresh, Uneon- taminated Land. On a recent visit to a large prac tical poultry farm, It was observed that good use was being made -of a number of portable poultry houses. These were of good size and were on runners made of heavy Joists. ,The runners were braced against each other, so that a horse could be hitched to the front and the house hauled any where. This made it possible to keep the young growing birds on fresh, un- eontaminnted sod. which was always sending up a good lot of fresh grass. When the movable houses were pulled awfiy from each place where they had been for a few weeks, tbe rains soon washed the droppings into the soil. This nourished the grass and improved the land. In .n o case was the sod eaten down till the ground w as bare. For sm ai| cl.icks the • same plant used small coups on. two wheels that could easily be pushed from, place to place by hand. In this way they never 'w ere troubled with gapes or contaminated soil. POULTRrNaTES I T’-4 I "Look out for lice when your chick ens look droopy and sleepy.

Tlieoid subscriber came to Hs jth. his money when we most needed it. H e bore with us when ffe were new in the business, and u s e d such provincialisms as "W e have saw” and “ if‘we had. knew .” He bore with us when the new column rules were so sharp that they chawed the paper up, and the office was so cold, waiting for wood to come in on subscription; that the “color” was greasy and reluc tant. T he old subscriber took our p a p e r and paid for it, while the new subscriber was waiting to make up his mind about subscribing. He might make a mild demur some times when he ‘ ‘didn’t git his paper regler,” but he paid on the first of January every year in advance, out of an old calfskin Wallace that opened out like a concertina, and had a strap that went round it four times, and looked shiny and sweaty and good-natured as a razor' strop that Noali might have used.: The old subscriber never asked auy're- bite, or requested a 'prize , volume of poetry with a red cover,.because he had paid for another year, but he simply warmed his numbed fin? gers, so that he could loosen his oreralls and lower one side enough to let his hand into the pocket of his best. pantaloons underneath, and there he always found the smooth Wallace, and inside of it was a two-dollar bill that had been put there to pay for the paper another year. He never missed coming on Nem Year’s Day. A fter payinghe would warm his hands some; more and ask, “How’s tricks” ?but never begin to ran the paper down, and then lie would go away for another year. He never was inclined to make any kicks. I want to say that this country test upon a great, solid foundation of old, paid-up subscribers. . They are the invisible, rock-ribbed rest ing-place for the dazzling superstru- cure and the slim and peaked spire. Whether we procure a new press or a new dress, a new contributor or a new priuter’s towel, we must bank on the old subscriber, for the new one is fickle, and when some other paper gives him a larger or'redder book he may desert our standard. 'He yearns for the flesh-spots and the new scroll-saws of other papers.1 He soon wearies of a uniformly good paper, with no chance to draw a town Iol or a gold mine—in M exi co Eut not so with the old sub scriber.

W hy so little co-operation in the interest of local advancement? Find the solution to these two problems, remove the cause, and you will more than j ustiiy your pre sence as a citizen. Continued co-operation wili make any community. Excessive politi cal activity will throttle it. We can find no fault with main taining party lines in national and state affairs, but when they are drawn and tightened to include the small home town it has tendency to destroy the hearty co-operation that is essential to local amity- and prosperity. Neighbors who think first of party ascendency in time become so engrossed in their political stife they consider little else. Thus the legitimate plans for local improve ments are advocating by the party adherents who propose them and are opposed by the memb: ri of the opposition party. , One group of active citiz ns is pulling against another regardless of the questions at issue, while the* inactive class- stands idly by "and watches one bunch smash the other. .

We haven't the time to pur sue any one suggestion to a grest length. There are too many others waiting t? edge in. The flapping was a sensation—for a time. But she .flapped so strenuously, in season and out, that she became wearisome to the public, and now she is about to become a nuisance. Soon she will be flapping only for her own admira tion. But she was quite worth while. She furnished us a few thrills, asid was the obiect of many new jests— all of which is necessary in the av erage American day. We will bid adieu without regret.

HOW BOOKS ARE DISINFECTED Method Employed in France Is Said to Be the Most Successful Yet Devised. The dancer of contagion from books that have been in the hands of per sons suffering from various diseases has led to the invention of methods of disinfecting, of which none appears to be more effective than that devised by a member of the municipal council of Paris. This process consists of two fea tures In the first place, the hooks ore placed 1 m a “beater. ’ where a sjrong current of air opens every leaf, and an aspirator sucks out the dust and deposits it m aseptic water. Then they are suspended in a disintector. the covers being bent back anil held by clips, so that the leaves are widely opened and placed over a heater, which for a long tune subjects them to- a temperature of 1C7 decrees Fah- ienhelt. Tlie paper is not damaged; and the efficiency of the process is said to be well demonstrated. In Generous Mood. , < First Workmgman—W hat sort of a job have von got now? Second orkingman—Oli.

Always she finds things lovable in everything and everybody, and if she cannot say kind thiilgk she speaks not at all. It was cold and raw when she visited Chica go recently. With her'aunt and moth- "er she sat at a luncheon table in th.e loop. “Sly hands are terribly cold,” said mother. ■ • , “It’s too bad the weather'should be so chilly,” the aunt agreed. Betty, with even a good word for a bad Chicago day, held up her hands. “Mine didn’t get cold," she said with a smile.

BEPORf PiIEStNTED BY LiD s' Estimated That Country Hns Lost $30,000,000 by Failure to S tart Operation. CONDENSED NEWS FROM THE OLD NORHf STATE SHORT NOTES O F INTEREST TO „ CAROLINIANS. W ashington.—Acceptance of IIenry Ford's otter’ for purchase and lease of the government's vast nitrate and w ater poster projects at Muscle Shoals Ala., was’, urged by republican ana democratic senators' fCbmpriSlhg a minority of -the senate agricultural committee in a report subm itted to the senate. Strong protest w as! en tered by the senators against the ac ceptance of the government owner; ship and operation plan’ proposed by Senator Norris of Nebraska,' th? com m ittee chairman. The report was presented by Sen ator Ladd, republican. North Dakota, and was ’signed by Senator Capper, republican, Kansas, and ,HaTrison, Mississippi; Carra way, Arkansas; Ransdell, Louisiana; Smith,' South Carolina, and Heflin, Alabama, demo crats. It is- estim ated that the gov ernm ent had lost $3,000,000 at' Muscle Shoals since the armistice, by fail ure to develope and operate the pro ject, and declared the quickest way to stop these losses is to accept the Ford offer for the purchase and lease of the government’s Muscls -Shoals property." s “Certain objections, to the Ford of fer seems apparent,” the report said, ‘but We insist without fear of suc-- cesstul contradiction, that-none of the objections to the Ford Offer can be remedied or solved by government ownership and operation, by' the gov ernm ent going into the power bus!-, dess and entering-the uncharted and hazardous field of operating nitrate plants at Muscle Shoals in the pro duction of nitfbgenous and other com m ercial fertilizers using electro-chem ical processes, the commercial suc cess of which is as. yet controversial. ‘For congress to adm it such' a pol icy when Henry Ford's pffer makes it unnecessary fo r. the government to do so," it continued, “would subject congress to the just condemnation and reproach of all sober:mlnded people.” The-belief was expressed that every member of the senate would agree with the committee minority with ref erence to the. acceptance of -Mr, Ford’s proposal when they consider the “pres ent fuel and transportation emergen cies” in the light of “development ol such great hydro-elecer'ic power as is found ^at Muscle ShoaJs,-adding that it is the only certain and- permanent relief in the future fyom the present paralysis of American Judustry." The report called attention to charg es that the acceptance of Mr. Ford’s tender would give him a government subsidy in the development of power and the m anufacture of fertilizer, and said: . = ». ' ‘It has been claimed th at the Ford OfferbOnstitutes ^’subsidy to Mr. Ford.

Although the inventor had been in failing health for several months, he had not been confined to Iiedrand the end was unexpected.

Alexander Graham Bell lived to see experiments which he began with a dead m an's ear less than 50 years ago resu lt. in a means of communication for millions of long distance telephone conversations daily In all parts of the world. The' possibility of talking over a wire, ridiculed Uien as a dream- by alm ost everybody except Bell, became during his lifetime a: reality com monplace and marvellous. The Bell basic patent, known In the' records a t W ashington as N q. 174,455, has been called 'Efio* most valuable' single patent ever issued In the whole history of invention. There are to day over thirteen million telephone in strum ents through which billions of telephone conversations are. carried on each year. Means of communication had been a hobby in the. Bell family long before the inventor of the . telephone was bom. Two generations back Alexan der Bell became noted for inventing a system Tor overcoming stammering speech,' while his son, Alexander Melville Bell, father of the -inventor of the telephone, perfected a system of visible speech. W ith this heritage, the son, bora In Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1847, under took sim ilar experim ents1 while still a lad. He constructed an artificial skull of gutta-percha and India rubber that would pronounce several words In a wierd tone, when Jilown into by a hand beiowls. At the age of 16, he became, like his father, a teacher of efocution, and an instructor of deaf m utesy Bell reached the crisis of his life at the age of 22, when die was threatened with tuberculosis. The white plague caused the death of his two brothers and the Bell family migrated to Brant ford, Canada.

This patient sued the doctor for "profiteering,’’ but the court dis missed the case. The - plaintiff ap pealed, however, to a higher court, which gave judgment against the doc tor, on the ground that the demand ing of an exorbitant fee for profes sional services was to be regarded as profiteering, and was therefore IlIegaL It was decided that mental workers could fairly be considered as profiteers in such cases; no exception could be made concerning doctors, for although the latter did not technically receive “wages,” their services came within the accepted meaning of “work.” Small Saintly Congregation Church-Notice—“Splendid music will be a feature.

According to Lindsay’s story the fellow was aiming straight at it.” “Well, they’re not here. See for your self.’’ She was right. There was-no evi dence whatever that any bullets had passed through the partition. They covered every Inch of the cross wall In their search. “Lindsay must have been mistaken," decided Whitford, hiding his keen/dis- nppointment. “This man CblIins couldn’t have been firing in’ this direc tion. Of course everything was con fusion, No doubt they shifted round In the dark and—” He stopped, struck by an odd ex pression on the face of his daughter. She had stooped and picked up a small fragment of shaving from the floor. Her eyes went from it to a plank In the partition and then back to the thin •’ crisp of wood. “What is it, honey?” asked Whit ford. ■ The girl turned to Huldoon, alert In every quivering muscle. “That express wagon—the one leaving the house- as we drove up—did you notice it?” “Number 7i4,!’ answered Tim, promptly. , “Can you have it stopped and the man arrested? Don’t you see? They’ve rebuilt this partition. They were tak ing away in that wagon the planks with the bullet holes.” Muldoon was out of the room and going down the stairs before she had finished speaking. It was a quarter of an hour later when he returned. Beatrice and her father were not to be seen. From back of the partition came an eager, vibrant voice. “Is that you, Mr. MuldoOn ? Come here quick. We’ve found one of the bullets In the wall.” The policeman passed out of the door through ',which Bromfield bad made his escape and found another srnnll door opening from the passage. It took him into the cubby-liole of a room in which were the wires and in struments used to receive news of the races. “What about the express wagon?” asked Whitford. “We’ll get it. Word Is out for those on duty to keep an eye open for it Where’s the bullet?" Bentrlce pointed It out to him.

"Crooks most always do slip up somewhere and leave evidence be hind them, lull'd think Jerry would hnve remembered the bullet as well as .the bullet hole.” They found the mark of the second bullet, too. It had struck'a tefephone receiver and taken a chip out of it. Tliey measured with a< tape-line the distance from the floor and the side walls to the place where each bullet struck.

From the adjoining room came the sound of voices.” v ,“I thought you told us Mr. Bromfield had gone to sleep and the doctor said he wasn’t to be awakened,” said Bea trice with a broad, boyish.smile at the man’s discomfiture. “The person inside wouldn't take no, miss, for an answer. “H e was like us, wasn’t he?

There was' material for .,an ex plosion present in this room that would blow-him sky-high if a match should' be applied to It. Le.t Durand get to tell ing what he knew about Clarendon and the Wliltfords would- never speak to him again. They might even spread a true story- that*would bar every house and club’In- New York to him. We’ve heard of Mr. Durand,” said Beatrice. • ■ : j Her tone challenged the attention of the gang leader. The brave eyes flashed defiance straight at him. A, pulse of anger was .throbbing In the soft ^ound throat. .• , ' " 1 ,Inscrutably he Watched her. It was his habit ’ to look hard at attractive women. “Most people have,” he admit ted. “Mr. Lindsay is our friend,” she said. 'We’ve .just come from-seeing him.” The man to whom she w asJedgaged had been put through so many flutters of fear during the last twelve hoiys that n new one more or less did-not matter. But he was still not shock- proof. His, fingers clutched tighter the" arm of the chair, “W-what did he tell you?" > Beatrice looked into his eyes and read in them once more stark fear. Again she had a feeling that: there was something about, the Whole affair she had not yet fathomed—some secret that Clay and Clarendon and perhaps, this captain of thugs knew. She tried to rend w hafhe was hiding, groped In. Ifer mind for the key (to his terror. W hat could it be that he vras afraid Clay had told her?. JW hat was1 it they all knew except Lindsay’s friends? And why,, since, Clarendon was, trembling' lest it be discovered,' should the Arizonan, too, joifiJ the, con spiracy o f silence?.'

He h ad 'tried to reject it because-he did not want to accept it, but after the .man had gone and be thought'it over, his judgment was that It held some germ, of truth. If so, He was bound to protect- Brom field Jas far as he'could. Nb m atfer what- Clarendon had -done, he 'could not throw overboard to the sharks -the man who. was still engaged to his daughter. He might not like him. In point o f fact Jhe did not. But he had to stand by him till be was out of his .trouble. Colin Whitford went straight to. his daughter. .J “Honey, this m an Durand has just brought me a story,'qbout Clarendon.’ H$ says he paid him to get Clay into trouble at the Omnium club In- order to discredit him with us.” J “!Oh,JtJad!” J - J - • .

The fact stands.” "I told him explicitly—again and again—that there was to he no vio lence. I intended only to show him up. I had a right to do it.” Whitford got up and walked up sr.d down the room. He felt like laying hands on this well-dressed scamp and throwing him out of the office. He tast ed something of his daughter's sense of degradation at ever having heen connected with a man of so little character. The experience was a bit terly ' humiliating one to him. For Bee was, in his opinion, the cleanest, truest little thoroughbred under heav en; The "only questionable thing he had ever known her to do was to en gage herself to this man. 1 Colin came to a halt in front of the other.' • “We’ve got to protect you, no mat ter how little you deserve it.

H e’s Ioqt his power anyho-.v and he’ll never get it back.” “Then it doesn't matter much wheth er he’s tried or not.” That phase of the subject Wldtford did not pursue. He began to feel in his vest pocket for something. “Of course you understand that we’re through with you, Bromfield. Neither Beatrice nor I care to have anything more to do with you.” T don’t see why.” protested Brom field. “As a man of the world—” ‘If you ‘ don't see the reason I nt not able to explain it to you.” Whit- ford’s' fingers found what they were realizaUon j^hat the- district attorney ’'hTlsfnPae .T7a'-'TTvo’av.-»j.'ji;-L:-cJ_ ; J ._ ChiAPTER XX ’ ' .

If Senator Simmons was as an- xious to throw a boon totheburdea ed taxpayers of his state as he is to t'irow a bomb at-th e RepUblnais ia Congress, he would be a servant worthy of his hire. -Trouble between capital and labor began in Eden.

ONLY ONE ROLLCflLL ON HIDES LEATHER ALSO PLACED ON FREE LIST BY MUCH MIXED VOTE IN THE SENATE. Senate Concurs In Action Taken In. House Year Ago—Seven Demo- crate Vote for Duty. W ashington.— Hides, boots, .shoes and leather were voted back to the tariff free list by the senate, which thus concurred in action taken by the house more than a year ago. T here w as only one roll call—on hides—and the result was 39 to -26 against the committee rates of two cents a pound on green or pickled and four cents on dried, hjdes. Seven dem ocrats — Ashurst, Brous sard, Fletcher, JoneB of New Mexico, Kendrick, Haiisdell and Sheppard, voted for the duty on hides, w hile'23 republicans voted against it. Most of the more m arked lines which have developed In the senate during the tariff fight disappeared on this vote, and about the only surprise was that a m ajority ot the republicans voted against m aking hides dutiable. Not only was there a split among the m ajority leadership on - the question, but also In the finance committee m a jority and even In the republican ag ricultural bloc, which, through its chairm an, Senator Gooding of Idaho, had asked for two cents on green hides and six on dried hides. W ith hides ssnt back to the free list. Senator Smoot, of Utah, for the committee, moved that the senate dis agree to the am endm ents proposing a. rate of 12 cents a pair and five cents ad valorem on boots and shoes and varying rates on band, rough sole leather, belting and harness leather, and various other kinds of this pro duct. The motion prevailed w ithout a roll call. W ithout roll calls the senate then cut 4(1 to 30 per cent the proposed duty on bags, baskets, belts, stachels, card cases, pooketbooks, jew el boxes, portfolios and other boxes and cases, wholly or In chief value of leather. On such articles perm anently fitted and furnished with traveling bottle, drinking, dining or luncheon, sewing, m anicure or sim ilar setB, the duty was made 46 per cent ad valorem In place of the 60 per cent originally proposed. Crop Conditions Mystifying. . Goldsboro, N. C. — Telegram s to New York tell ot ruinous conditions from the drought In Texas and rains in North Carolina, B. C. Thompson, cotton buyer for thirty years, said his brokers in New York had informed him. "The brokers go around with their pockets full of telegram s which, if true, mean an enormous price, for cot ton this year, and yet the South goes right ahead selling instead of buying cotton,” he stated, and added that the brokers didn't believe anything that was wired to them . • It is his opinion there are those who wish to keep the price of*otton down and are reporting favorable ■crop conditions to keep it down until they buy all they w ant and then ex p e c t'to clean up when the m arket rises. Another class doing a great deal of -harm to the farm ers and others, he believes, is the traveling m an who !gees one or two nice crops or per haps doesn't see any at all, but calls on his trade and reports lfack tp his !wholesale house splendid crops ev erywhere, so that his orders will be accepted, and that, in Mr. Thompson’s 'opinion, after his automobile trip !through five states to investigate the 1Crop conditions, is the source of all jthe m ythical stories about fine cotton r crops.

HARDING'S PU N MODIFIED President's Power Limited In Import ant Measure by A lterations Made Before Bill Ib Passed, W ashington--A flexible tariff plan proposing authority for the President to increase or decrease • the tariff rates In the pending bill until July. I, 1924, was 'approved by the senate. The vote was 36 to 20, with three republicans'opposing and two demo crats supporting. ' Jiist before approving the. plan, the senate adopted, 34 to 19, an amend m ent by Senator Bersum, republican. New Mexico, which would ,provide that after July I, 1924, no duties could be charged except by authority of Congress. Eiighteen republicans and all ' of the democrats supported' this' amendment. The plan as finally approved is a sharp modification of th at originally, proposed; The President Is prohib ited from using American valuation except In the case of dyes and certain' coal tar chemicals covered In two Paragraphs of the bill and is required to base changes on the rates In differ ence to the “costs of production” at home and abroad instead of one dif ference in "conditions of competition." Also the President could hot change duties from specific- to ad valorem or from ad valorem to specific, nor’trans; fer articles from the duitable list to the free list, nor could he raise any rate beyond any maximums specifi cally fixed in the bill. . Alterations In rates, which would be lim ited to 50 per cent of the fig ures fixed In the bill would become effective within 60 days after the is suing of a proclam ation providing for such changes, but a proclamation could no't be issued until there had been investigation and a report of the findings as to facts by the tariff com mission, . ^ U nder an am endm ent by Senator Feed, democrat, Missouri, the commis sion before making its recommenda tions to the President would be re quired to hold public hearings and give publlh notice In advance of such hearings.

AND EDU CATOR SUCCUMBS TO ATTACK OF HEART TROUBLE. OHLY Sim -O N E YEIIRS OLD But His Life Had Been One of Activ ity and Achievement —- Leading Figure In Methodist Church. Charlotte, N. C. ■— Bishop John C. Kfngo, veteran m inister of the Metho dist Bpiscopal Church, South, former president of Trinity College, Durham, and leading preacher and educator of the South, lost his fight against the grim specter and passed quietly and peacefully away a t his home on tile Plaza, Chatham Estates. Bishop KiIgo w as only 61 years of age, but his Mfe had been one of ac tivity aud^achievement, w earing out the none too strong body th at carried what was recognized all over the coun try SSsaOne of the most wonderful minds with which hum an beings are endowed. jSjtxir a period of m inistry, Bishop Kilgo taught philosophy a t Wofford College, Spartanburg, S. C- until 1894, when he was elected president of Trin ity Colege; Durham , N- C-, serving as such until 1910, when he resigned to accept a bishopric, continuing as pres ident em eritus of the college until 1917. He moved to Charlotte about seven years ago. Since 1910 Bishop Kilgo had been one of the leading figures in .th e Southern M ethodist Church, having been actively engaged in Uie work of his position, In this country and at stations in Asia and In other foreign countries until his health began to decline a few years ago,- during which he suffered several attacks, m any of them serious, but from which he would rally and alm ost regain his nor m al health. At the m eeting of the general con ference of the M ethodist Episcopal Church, South, in H ot Springs, Ark., last spring, because of the condition of his health, he was placed on the re tired list of bishops, and it was on his return home that he suffered a se vere attack and was taken from the tram and spent a few weeks at a hospital in Memphis, Tenn. Bishiqi KiIgo rallied from the at tack and was brought home, after which he grew better, until he was able to ride aronnd the city with members of his family, and made on trip to Baltimore for treatm ent. ; Bishop Kmgo was bom in Laurens county, S. C., July 22,1861, Uie second son of Jam es T. and Catherine Mason Kilgo. His father was one of the best known* Methodist m inisters of South Carolina in his day. He attended Wofford College at Spartanburg, but- was forced to leave on account of ill health. Later he re turned to become agent and to receive his m aster’s degree. From 1889 to 1894 Dr. Kflgo was professor of philosophy a t Wofford College and In 1894 was elected to the presidency of Trinity College, Durham, N. C. W hen he resigned the presidency in June, 1910, to accept the office of bishop of the M ethodist Episcopal Church, South, the num ber of students a t the college in that- year was more than twic^ the num ber in the first year of his adm inistration. There were also three tim es as many officers and teachers as during the first year of his presidency. The resources of the college had grown Trom 3200,000 to more than 31,000,000.

And I’m not going, to tell you what I think of you beyond saying that we’re through with you. The less said about It the better. Man, don’t you see I don’t want to have any more talk about it? The engage ment was a mistake in the first place. Bee never loved you. Even if you’d been wlmt we thought you,-it wouldn't have done. She’s lucky to have found out in time.” . “Is this a business rupture, too, Mr. Whitford?” “Just as you say about that, Brom- field. As an investor in the Bird Cage you're entitled to the same considera tion that any other stockholder is. Since you’re the second largest owner you've a right‘to recognition on the board of directors. I’m not mixing my private affairs with business.” Bromfield rose, pulled on the glove he had removed, nodded good-bye without offering to shake hands, and sauntered out of the office. There was a look on his face the mining man did not like. It occurred to WiTiltford that Clarendon, now stripped of self- respect by the knowledge of the re gard in which they held him, was in a position to strike back hard if he cared to do so. The right to vote the proxies of the small stockholders of the Bird Cage company had been made out in his name at the request of the president of the corporation. Tbe case against Durand wsis pigeon holed by the district attorney with out much regret. AU through the un derworld where his influence had been strong, It was known that Jerry had begged off. He was discredited among his following and was politically a down-and-outer. But he knew too much to permit him to be dragged into court safely. With his back to the wall he might tell of mvny slmdy transactions Implicating prominent people. There were Strong influences which did not want him pressed too hard. .The charge remained on the docket, but it was set back from term to term and never brought to trial. Colin Whitford found his attention pretty fully absorbed by his own af fairs. Bromfield had opened a fight against him for control of the Bird Cage company. The mine had been developed by the Coloradoan from an unlikely prospect into a well-paying concern. It was the big business venture of his life and he took a strong personal interest In running I t Now, because of Bromfield’s intention to use for his own advantage the proxies made out in his name, he was likely to lose control. With Bromfield in charge the property might be wrecked before he could be ousted. “Dad’s worrying,” Beatrice told Lindsay. "He’s afraid he'll lose con trol of the mine. There’s a fight on against him.” • . “W hat for? I thought yore father was a mighty competent Operator. Don't the stockholders know when they’re well off?” She looked at him enigmatically. “Some one he trusted has turned out a traitor. That happens occasional ly In business, you know.!’ It was from Colin himself that Clay learned the name of the traitor. “It’s that fellow Bromfield,’’ he ex plained. “He's the secretary and sec ond largest stockholder iIn the com pany. The annual election is to be to morrow afternoon. He’s got me where the wool’s short. I was fool enough to ask the smaller stockholders to make out their proxies in his name. At that time he was hand In glove W ithus1 Now I’m up against it. He’s' going to. name the board of directors and have himself made president.” Clay ventured on thin ice. The name of Bromfield had not been mentioned to him before In the last twenty-four hours by either Beatrice or her father. “Surely Bromfield wouldn’t want to. offend you.” “That’s esictly what he would want to do.” “But—” . “He’s got his reasons.” “When is the election?” “At three o’clock." - “Where?” “At the company, offices.” “Perhaps if I talked with Brom field—” Whitford laughed shortly. “Fd talk an arm off him if it would do any good ■ But it won’t He’s out for revenge ” Clay’s eyes alighted swiftly on the older man. They asked gravely a ques tion and found an . answer that set his heart singing. Beatrice had brok en her engagement with Bromfield It was a little after eleven o’clock next morning when the cattleman walked into an apartment house for bachelors, took the elevator, and rang !he bell at BromSeld’s door. Olsrandon. fresh -trom the hands of hU valet, a a ld h e was glad to Bee UndMJr- bat did not look I t v H e ef- fered his guest a choice of liquors and, selected for himself a dry martini. Cigars, and cigarettes -were within reach on a tabouret. Clay discovered that one difficulty he had expected to meet did not com plicate the problem. The valet had left to select the goods for some cus tom-made shirts, Bromfield explained apologetically, apropos, of the lack of service. He would not return till late In the afternoon. .. . ‘T ve come to see about that Bird Cage business, Mr. Bromfield,” his visr itor explained. “I’ve been millin’ It. over In my mind, and I thought I’d put the proposition up to you the way it looks to me.” - '■ Bromfield’s eyebrows lifted. His face asked with supercilious polite ness what the devil business it was of- Lindsay’s. “Mr. Whitford has put In twenty years of his life building up the Bird Cage into a good property. It’s a one-man mine. He made it out of a hole In the ground, developed it, ex panded it, gave it a market value. He’s always protected the stockholders and played the game square with them. Don’t it look like he ought to stay In control of it?” . ; “Did he send you here to tell me that?” “No, he didn’t. But he’s gettln’ along In years, Bromfield. It don’t look hardly right to me for you to step In and throw him o u t W hat do you think about i t yourself?” The clubman flushed with anger. “I think that It’s d—d Impertinent of you to come here meddling In my business. I might have expected i t You’ve al ways been an impertinent meddler.” “Mebbeso,” agreed Clay serenely, showing no surprise at this explosion. “But Tm here. And I put a question. Shall I ask It again?” “No need. Tm going to take what the law allows me—what I and my friends have bought and paid for In the open m arket The more it hurts Whitford the better I’ll be pleased," answered Bromfield, his manner of cyniChl Indifference swept away by gathering rage. The Interference of this “bounder”’ filled him with a pas sion of Impotent hate. “Is that quite correct? -'Did you buy control In the market? In point of fact, aren’t you holdin’ a bunch of proxies because W hitford wrote and asked the stockholders to sign them for jjou to vote? W hat you in tend doing Is a moral fraud, no mat ter what its legal aspect Is. You’d be swindling the vqry stockholders you claim to. represent, as well as abusing the confidence of Whitford.” “W hat you think isn’t of the least importance to me, Mr. Lindsay. E you’re here merely to offer me your advice, I suppose I shall now have regretfully ts> say good-day.” The New Yorker rose, a thin lip smile scarcely veiling his anger at this in truder who bad broughthls hopes to nothing. “I reckon CTl not' hurry off, Mr. Bromfield,” Clay replied easily. “You might think I was mad at you. m stick around awhile and' talk this over.” “Unfortunately I have an engage m ent” retorted the other Icily. \ “When?” ^ “I. really think, Mr. Lindsay, that is my business.” “I’m makin’ It mine,” said Clay curtly. Bromfield stared. "I beg your par don?” ' ‘I said It was mine too. You see. I bought a coupl.a shares of Bird Cage stock yesterday: Td hate to see Whit ford ousted from control. . I’ve got confidence In him.” . “It’s your privilege to vote that stock th is' afternoon. At least It would be .if it had been transferred to you on the 'books. Tll vote, my stock according to my own views.” “I wonder,” murmured Clay aloud. ‘‘W hat’s that?” 'snapped Bromfield.' "I was just figurin’ on what would happen if you got sick and couldn't at tend that annual meeting this after noon,” drawled the westerner. “I reckon mebbe some of the stockhold ers you've fcot lined, up would break away and join W hitford.” The NewrYorker felt a vague alarm. W hat idea did this fellow'have In tlie back of his. head. Did he Intend to do bodily violence to Mm? Without any delay Bromfield reached for the' telephone. The large brown hand of the west erner closed over his. “I’m talkin’ to you, Mr. Bromfield. It’s not polite for you to start ’phon ing, not even to the police,'W hilst we’re still engaged in coirversatlon.” “Don't you try to interfere with me,” said the man who, paid the; telephone bill. ‘TH not submit to such an in dignity.” , ‘Tm not the only one that inter feres. You fixed up.quite an entertain ment for me the other night, didn’t you? Wouldn’t you klnda call that interferin’ some? I sure ought to comb yore hair for It.” Bromfield made a hasty decision to get out. He started for the., door. Clay .traveled In. that direction too. They., arrived simultaneously. Claren don 'backed away. . The Arizonan locked the door and pocketed the key. His host , grew weakly violent - From Whitford he had heard a story about two men In a locked room that did not reassure him now. One. of : the men had been this cattleman. The other—* ell,h e had suffered. “Let me out! si’ll not stand this! You can’t' bully,me!” he cried shrilly. . - “Don’t pull- yore plcket-pln, Brom field,” advised Lindsay. “I’ve elected myself boss of the rodeo.. W hat I say: goes. You'll save yorese'f. a h e a p of: worry if you make up yore mind to: that right away,” ’ I . "What. doyou want? ^What are you trying to- dot i ’m '-’'hot a barroom brawler like Durand. I don’t Intend to fight with you.” “You’ve ee’tainly relieved my mind,” murmured fclay lazily., “W hat's yore own notion of wha't I ought to do to you, Brqmfield ? Yoii invited me out as: ei friend and led me into a trap aft er you had fixed It up. :Wouldn’t a first-class: thrashin’ -with a hawsswhlp be about right?” . Bromfield turned pale. ‘T ve got a .weak heart,” he faltered. ' ‘T il say you have,” agreed' Clay. '‘It’s pumpin’ w ater Iii place of blood right now, I’ll bet. Did you ever have a real' honest-to-G—d lickin' when you was a boy?” . Thp New Yorker, fcnew he was help less before this clear-eyed, supple ath lete who walked like a god from Olympus. One can’t lap up half a dozen highballs, a 'day. for an inde term inate number of years without get ting1 flabby.'nor can he spend himself In feeble dissipations and have re serves of. strength to cali upon when needed. The tongue went dry In his mouth. He began to swallow his Ad am ’s apple. “Let’s look at this thing from all sides,” went on Clay cheerfully. “If we decide by a majority of the voting stock—and I’m carryln-’ enough prox ies so that I’ve got control—-that you’d Ought to have a whalin’, why, o’ course; there’s nothin’ to it but get to business and make a thorough job.” “Maybe I didn’t do right about Mad- dock’s.” “No mebbe about th a t .You acted like a yellow hound.” “I’m sorry.

Tears of vexation stood in Brom field’s eyes; “All right. Let me go. I'll be fair to W hitford and arrange a deal with hlnj.” “Get the' stockholders who’re with, you on the 'phone and tell ’em to vote their stock , as W hitford-thinks best Get Whitford and tell him the fight’s off.” : . - “If I do, will, you let me go?” . “If you don't we’ll return to the previous question—the aunual meet ing of the Bromfield Punishment com pany, Limited.” .. Bromfield got busy with the tele phone. When he had finished. Clay, strolled over to a bookcase, cast his eyes over the shelves, and took out a book. It was “David Harum.” He found an easy-chalr, threw a leg- oyer one arm, and presently began to chuckle. ‘!Are you going to keep me here all day?” asked his host sulkily. ■ - “Only till about four o’clock.

When Clay came home that evening he stopped abruptly at the door. The lady of his dreams W as setting the table In. the dining-room, pud chatting gayly with an invisible K itty In the kitchen.

To see her engaged In this intim ate household task at his own table quickened his pulse and sent a glow through him. ■ “You didn’t know you had Invited me to dinner, did you?” she said, little flags a-flutter In her cheeks. They had a gay dinner, and after ward, a pleasant hour before Clay took her home. Neither of them was in a hurry. They walked through Central park In the kindly, darkness, each acutely sen sitive to -the other’s presence. . Her gayety and piquancy had given place to a gentle shyness. Clay let the burden of conversation fall upon her. H e knew that he had come to his hour of h ours; and his soul was wrapped In gravity. ■>- She too sensed w hat was coming, and the sex instinct In her was on tiptoe in flight. She was throbbing with excitement. H er whole being longed to hear w hat he had to tell her. Yet she-dodged for a way of escape. Silences were too significant, too full- pulsed. She made herself talk. It did so t much m atter about w hat “Why didn't you tell us that It was Mr* Bromfield who struck down that m an Collins? Why did you let us think you did it?” she queried. - “W ell,, folks In New York don’t know me. W hat was the use of gettin’ him 'In bad?” “You know that wasn’t the reason. You did it because—” She stopped In the m idst of the sentence. It had oc curred to h e r.th a t this subject was more dangerous even than silence. ...“I did It because he was the man you were goln’ to marry,” he said. They moved side by side through the shadows. In the faint lig h t. he could make out the fine line of her exquisite throat. A fter a moment she spoke. “You’re a good friend. Clay.- It was a big thing to do. I don’t know anybody else except Dad that- would have done it for me.” “You don’t know anybody, else that loves you as much as I dp.” It was out' at la s t quietly and with out any dram atics.. A flash of soft eyes darted at him, then veiled the shining tendem es beneath long lashes. ‘Tv* ha’d a« attack of common sense,” he went on, and in his voice was a strength ‘ both audacious and patient. "I thought a t first I couldn’t hope to win you because of your- for tune and what It had done , for you. Even w hen. I knew you. liked me I felt it wouldn’t be fair for ihe to ask you. I couldn’t offer, you the ad vantages you’d had. But I’ve changed my mind. I’ve been, watching what money does‘to yore friends. It makes them soft. They flutter around like butterflies..

I don’t want you ,to get like that, and if you. stay here long enough you sure will. , It’s In -my heart that if you’ll come''with'me we’ll live.” In the darkness she made a rustling movement toward him. A Uttle sob welled up In her throat as heir hands lifted to him. “Oh, Clay! I’ve fought against i t I didn’t w ant to, but—I love youi Oh, I do love you!” He took her lissom young body In his arms.

You’ve had more experience With women than I have. Ti you- say the proper thing to do Is to abduct Mlss W hitford and take her with us, why—” “Onct.

I can see you know what you’re doin’.” ■ The conspirators arranged details. Johnnie was the brains of the kidnap ing. Clay bought the tickets and was to take charge of the prisoner after the train, was reached. They decided It would be best to get a stateroom for the girl. . , “We w antta make It as easy as we can for her,” said Johnnie. “O’ course it’s all for her own good, but we. don't figure to treat her noways but like fhe prihcess sfie is.” “Yes;” agreed Clay humbly. According to program, carefully ar ranged. by Johnnie, Beatrice rode down to the train with him and K itty in their taxicab. She went on board for the final good-by and chatted with them In their section. The chief conspirator was as easy as a toad -Cl a hot skillet Now that It had come down-to the actual busi ness of taking this young woman with them against her will, he began to weaken. His heart acted very strange ly, but he had to go through with i t “C-can I see you a minute in the next car. Miss Beatrice?” lie asked, his voice quavering.

Johnnie fol lowed. ^ Clay rose from the lounge and said, “Glad to see you. Miss W hitford.” “Did yoji bring me here to say good- by, Johnnie?” asked Beatrice. The Eunt’s tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth. H is eyes appealed dumb ly Io Clay. . ' “Better explain to Miss Whitford,” said Clay, passing the buck. “It’s for yore good, Mlss Beatrice,” stammered the villain who had brought her. “We—we—I—I done brought you here to travel home with us.” “ You—w nat?” Before her slender, outraged dignity Johnnie wilted. “Kitty, she—she can Chaperoon you.

We thought—” - “You m ean .th at you brought me here expecting me to go along with you—without my consent—without a trunk—without—” . Clay took charge of tlie kidnaping. "Johnnie, if I were you I’d light a shuck back to the other car. I see I’ll have to treat this lady rough as you advised." Johnnie wanted to expostulate, to deny that he had ever given such counsel, to advise an abandonment of the whole project But his nerve un expectedly failed him. H e glanced at Clay and fled. He was called upon the carpet im mediately on joining Kitty. “W hat are you up to, Johnnie? I’m not going to have you make a goose of yourself if I can help it. And where’s. Mr. Lindsay? You said he'd meet us here.” “Clay, he’s in the next car.” “You took Miss Beatrice In there to say good-by to him?” “No—she—she’s goln’ along with us.” “Going1 along with us? W hat do you mean, Johnnie Green?” He told, her bis story, not at all cheerfully. His bold plan looked very different now from what it had two days before. . Kitty rose with decision. “Well, of all the foolishness I ever heard, John nie, this Is the lim it Tm going right to that poor girl. You’ve spoiled every thing, between you. She’ll hate Mr. Lindsay for the rest of her life. How could he be so stupid?” Her hqsband followed her, crestfal len. He w aited to weep with chagrin. : Beatrice opened the door of the stateroom. She had taken off her bat and Clay was hanging it on a hook. “Come In,” she said cordially, but faintly. . Kitty did not' qulte understand! The atmospbpre was less electrfe-than she had expected.

CHAPTER XXII The New Day. The slapping of the wind «eai„w the tent awakened Beatrice C could hear it soughing gently thromh the branches of the live oaks. An out flung arm discovered Clay niifsin- H er questing glance found him busy over the mesquite lire upon which he was cooking breakfast Sh% watched him move about, supple ana Ught and strong, and her heart lifted with sheer joy of the mate she had chosen. He was such a man among men, this clear-eyed, bronzed hus band of a week. He was so clean and simple and satisfying. As she closed the flaps she gave a deep sigh of con- tent. Every minute till she joined him was begrudged. For Beatrice had learned the message of her heart. She knew that she was wholly and com. pletely In love with what life had brought her. . And she was amazingly, radiantly happy. W hat did motor curs or wine suppers or Paris gowns matter? They were the trappings that stressed her slavery. Here she moved beside her m ate without fear or doubt in a world wonderful. Eye to eye, they spoke the truth to each other after the fashion of brave, simple souls. Glowing from the ice-cold bath of water from a mountain stream, she stepped down the slope into a slant of sunshine to join Clay. He looked up from the fire and waved a spoon gayly at her. For he too was as jocund as the day which stood tiptoe on the mis ty mountain tops. They had come into the hills to spend their honeymoon alone together, and life spoke to him in accents wholly joyous. The wind and sun caressed her. As she moved toward him, a breath of the morning flung the gown about her so that each step modeled anew the slender limbs. Her husband watched the girl streaming down the slope. Love swift as old wine flooded his veins. He rose, caught her to him, and looked down into the deep, still eyes that were pools of happiness. “Are you glad—glad all through, sweetheart?” he demanded. A little laugh welled from her throat. She gave him a tender, mooting smile. “I hope heaven’s like this," she whispered. “You don’t regret New York—not a single, hidden longing ior it ’way down deep in yore heart?” She shook her head. “I always wanted to be rescued from the en vironment that was stifling me, but I didn’t know a way of escape till you came,” she said. “Then you knew it?” “From the moment I saw yon tie the janitor to the hitching-post Iou remember I was waiting to go riding “I Hope Heavervi uiKe This," Sho - Whispered. with Mr. Bromfield.

Bvery fall we hear a- number of re ports of pullet-egg production being cut down by fall moulting. This Is perhaps only natural when we consld-- er that every one is working toward early maturity and production by means of better breeding early hatch ing and heavy feeding. It Is natural for very early hatched pullets to stop laying and go through a partial moult before cold weather. In addition to this natural tendency, the moult may be hastened by any sudden change of feed, care or environment. The fol lowing simple rules, if followed, will be helpful to prevent this fall m oult: 1. Avoid hatching out of season; March, April, and May are best, the exact time depending on the breed. 2. Provide free range during the en tire season. 3. Avoid rations containing an ex cess of protein. 4. Do not attem pt to hold pullets back, let them mature normally. 5. Have the pullets in their winter quarters before production starts. 6. Avoid any sudden change In feed, care or management after production begins.—Connecticut Experim ent. Sta tion.

(Prepared by th e U nited S tates D epartm ent o t A griculture.) One of the greatest difficulties with which turkey growers have to contend is to keep their flocks from wandering over too wide an area and invading neighboring farms. To some extent, feeding heavily night and morning re duces the area over which turkeys range, but even then they often go too far. When trouble of this kind oc curs, the most effective plan Is to drive them into an inclosure and keep them there until about noon. In warm weather turkeys do most of their ranging early in the morning, and by nine o’clock they are usually as far from home as they will get dur ing the day.

BY-PRODUCT OF GAS PUNTS Creosoting Will . Lengthen Life of Posts of Any Kind of Wood—Ia Especially Valuable With Cot tonwood or Willow. A new economy In the preservative treatm ent of fence posts Is In sight. If experiments with the use of w ater gas tar In conjunction with creosote, which are being conducted by forest ers of the Iowa agricultural expert-- ment station, justify the belief that the tar can be utilized. W ater gas tar, a by-product of arti ficial gas plants, is much cheaper than creosote. The purpose of the experi ments Is to determine whether or not the tar can be successfully used-In a mixture with the creosote" and In what proportions to give the best results. The economic value of the preserva tive treatm ent of posts has been dem onstrated In many cases, says G. B. MacDonald, head of the forestry de partm ent at the college, CreosotIng will lengthen the life of posts of any kind of wood, but It is especially valu able with soft woods.. Tedts have shown that such soff woods as willow and cottonwood, which last only three or four years if untreated, will serve as posts for from 20 to 25 years when treated. Tills fact makes possible the utilization by the farm er of woods of this kind on che farm which would otherwise be practically useless. It is practicable, Mr. MacDonald points out, for a. farm er-to set out a small plantation of quick-growing trees, such as the cottonwood, and In five or six years have the start of a permanent supply of posts. It is esti mated that a post per acre is needed every year. -A considerable saving can be made by the farm er who grow? and treats his own posts. Two methods of creosotlng posts are recommended by Mr. MacDonald,, one In which one tank is used and another which requires two tanks. In the first method posts are put Into the creosote tank with the creosote at a high tem perature, and are allowed to cool in the same. tank. When two tanks are used the posts are transferred, after their bath In the hot creosote, to the other tank, which contains cold ereo- sote. : . r On medium-sized farms,- where 100; or more posts are needed annually, a" satisfactory treating tank, -made " of galvanized iron, about 36 inches in di am eter and 48 inches, high; can be purj> chased for about $10. "This tank is mounted about a foot from the ground on-a brick founda tion, which contains a firebox. Wood is used for fuel. If the nosts are to he SILAfiE MIXTURE TO FINISH OFF CATTLE Steers Make More Economical Gains and Shrink Less. Test Made by Department of Agricul ture In Co-Operation W ith Louisl- iha-iStation—Value of Different Crops Worked OuL (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) s, To g e t.: results economically , most chttlq feeders -should use some kind of " silage 'In the rations, ; says the United States Departm ent of Agricul ture. Steers’ fed on sllagi^usually not only - make more economical gains, shrink less, and make more profits than steers fed on dry roughage, but_ JHerd of Hereford Steers on a Texas Ranch. ' also make it possible to. utilize crops grown primarily In a rotation for re storing the fertility of worn-out .lands. f The comparative value of a number of different silage crops for steer feed ing was recently worked out by the department In co-operation with the Louisiana experiment station. In One instance similar lots of cattle were fed a ration of cottonseed meal and blackstrap molasses In combination "with com silage, com and Biloxi soy bean silage, sorghum silage,- sorghum and BiIoxl soy-bean silage. Tire best gain -was made by the steers fed the straight corn silage, but it was shown that the capacity of a farm for fattening or wintering cattle may be greatly increased.by the use of heavy-yielding silage crops such as sorghum and, Japanese cane.' Imma ture Biloxi soy beans mixed with com or sorghum were not so satisfactory, but with late-m aturing crops like Japa nese cane these soyg, gave-very good results. Sorghum silage and Japanese cane and Biloxi soy-bean silage are practically equal in feeding value for steers when supplemented by cotton seed meal and molasses. TIME TO SOW SWEET CLOVER Best Plan Is to Plant It In W inter or Spring. With Nurse Crop or Dur ing Mid-Summer. It is not generally recommended that sweet clover be sown m corn, in the fall. A better way is to sow It either In the w inter or spring with a nurse crop or during mid-summer on a firm seed bed free of other crops. ,B y having a compact seed bed and giving a heavy application of seed, it Is possible that a good’ stand can be secured In standing com but much depends upon the weather. An added advantage results from cutting the com off for silage, since this gives the small plants more sunlight, There Is great risk, however, In sowing any kind, of seed In corn after the last cul tivation because of the usual dry weather period that follows. Some farm ers make a success of this sort of seeding .but ordinarily It is a better policy to seed In another way if that Is possible.’ Cr Removing rosts After I reatnTent m Creosote—The Posts Are Allowed to Drain in the Barrels. given a top as well as a butt treat ment, they can be Inverted in the tank. This should be done in the case of soft woods. . In the single tank treatm ent the creosote is heated to a temperature of 200 to 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Euougb creosote is put into the tank to sub merge the lower three or.-three-and. one-half feet of the posts. The tem perature is maintained at about 220 degrees for from two to six hours, de pending upon the kind of , wood being treated. The harder the wood the longer it should.be immersed. The’ fire is allowed to die down and the. posts are left In the cold creosote for from four .to fourteen hours. ' If two tanks are used the work"'can be speeded up, since the cold bath Is applied in ^the.second tank. The cre osote should penetrate the posts to a~* depth of. from ".one-quarter to one inch. Tests; should be hiade to see that this penetration is secured. NO SECRETS WITH CHICKENS Nothing.

The peach crop will be practilly closed as this is printed, but far wrong-to say that somewhere near 1,500 cars will have loaded when the last one goes out. As far as the figures could be gathered at this w riting about 1,300 cars had gene out by Monday, with a consi derable amount- of odd lots and gathering up to finish. W ith “Cjtr lots and minor express shipments it is likely that over 50,000 crates will have been moved; and that the total income from the peach crop in the Sandhills will run up toward two milli9n dollar's. ‘ On the big days of last week, the shipment climbed up near 150 cars a day, or three or four big train’loads, and it has begji- remarked that no place in the state has shipped as much of one single article in the same length of tinie as has gone out from 'Aberdeen of peaches. .. - A car of peaches is worth around $1,200,"and the shipments of a day ,that sends out 150 cars is safely valued at close to $200,000. Lost week’s peach shipments from (the Sandhills were worth probably a million or more.

Washington.—Representations' have ieen made to the Cuban governm ent . . the state departm ent !coking to steps to prevent further smuggling oi Chinese and European aliens from the island republic into the United States. In a note transm itted through the Cuban legation here the American jovernment is understood to have ta- ^en the position that from the ‘-num- 0f aliens adm itted to Cuba, and the fact that there is said io be no employment available there for-them , it appears evident that entry to Caba Is obtained upon-the belief th at even tually the aliens can.be smuggled into this country. Creation of “entry barriers” by Cuba, it is believed by departm ent of labor officials, charged w ith the' en forcement of the im m igration laws, would go a long way toward ridding the United States of its smuggling difficulties. It is understood to have heen at the suggestion 'of Secreary Paris, of the labor departm ent, that the representations were made. Dr. Arturo Pardi y Almeida, sec retary of the Cuban legislation, said he was hopeful of closer co-operation between his government and the Unit ed States as a result of the represen tations which he declared he had com: municated to Havaina w ith the "neceS' sary recommendations.” Approximately 30,000 C hinese. and 40,000 aliens from all over Europe are now in Cuba aw aiting opportunity to enter this country, surreptitiously, is the belief of Secretary Davis. Con stant smuggling of aliens into' the TTnited States, m any of whom are "bolshevists, communists and unde. Birable aliens,” Mr. Davis said, con stitute a menace to the governm ent and should be halted without further delay. If effective rem edy cannot be applied at once ‘through voluntary cooperation between foreign : govern-, meats and the United States, he said; “then congress im m ediately should enact a compulsory registration law to be applied to all aliens within the borders of this country.” To Help Fight Bonue. fl’ashington. — Business organiza tions throughout the .iountry were asked to help oppose the soldiers’ bonus In a letter by Julius H.

There are thousands of veterans who are opposed to the bonus, and their op position. with your own, should be made as vigorous as possible a t this time.” Mayor Faces Impeachment Johnstown, Pa.—Mayor Joseph Cauf- “el took official cognizance of the an- Pounced action of prohibition leaders to intimate impeachment proceedings because the executive told local brew ers and saloon keepers to m ake and Poll “real beer.” Gauffiel insisted th at his prim ary Iorpose was to attract'th e attention 0J Prohibition chiefs to the "arm y #. blJotteKgers selling poison it) the p >'• He added that he had told the overage dispensers they must- “keep vriaUn the law."

Responding to the congratulations of an elderly Tnan who said he belonged to the sam e class of the arm y service as the ■ prem ier, M.

A special farm products rate, officials recalled, was in effect in 1915,’ but was dis continued..

CHAPTER I. It was over. Tlie rambling house, ' with Its rickety, old-fashioned furni ture—and Its memories—was how de serted, except for Robert -Fairchild, and he was deserted within it, wan dering from room to room staring at familiar objects with tbe unfamfiiar gaze of one whose vision suddenly has been warped by the visitation of death and the sense of loneliness that it brings. Loneliness, rather than grief, for it had been Robert Fairchild’s promise that he would not suffer in heart for one who had longed to go into a .peace for which he had waited, seemingly in vain. Year after year, Thornton Fair child had sat in the big armchair by ■ the windows, watching the days grow old and fade into night, studying sun set after sunset, voicing the vain hope that the gloaming might bring the twi light of his own existence—a ' silent man except for this, rarely speaking of the past, never giving to the'son who worked for him. cared for him, wor shiped him, the slightest Inkling of what might have happened in the dim days of the long ago to transform him into a beaten thing, longing for the final surcease. And when the end' came, it found him In readiness, wait ing In the big armchair by the win dows. Even now, a book lay on the frayed carpeting o f the old room, where it had fallen from relaxing fin gers. Robert Fairchild picked it up, and with a sigh restored it to the grim, fumed oak case. His days of petty sacrifices that , his father might while away the weary hours with ,reading were over. W hat hdd been the past? Why the silence? Why the patient, yet impa tient w ait for death? The son did not know. In all his memories was only one faint picture, painted years be fore In babyhood: the return of his father from some place, he knew not w here,. a long conference with his mother behind closed doors, while he. in childlike curiosity, waited without- seeking in vain to catch some expla nation. TIien a sad-faced woman who cried at night whet}/the' house was still, who faded and who died. Tliat was all. The. picture carried no ex planation. / And now Robert Fairchild stood on the threshold of something he almost feared to learn. Once, on a black, stormy night, they had sat together, father and sbn before the fire, silent .for hours. Then the hand of the white-haired man had reached out ward and rested for a moment ..on the young man’s knee. ' . ‘ "I wrote something to you. Boy, a day or so ago,” he had said. “That little illness. I bad prompted me to do it. I - I thought it was- only fair to you. After I'm gone, look in the safe. You’ll find the combination on a piece of paper hidden in a hole cut In that old European history' in the bookcase. ,. I have your promise. I know—that you’ll not do It until after Iim gone.” , Now Thornton Fairchild was gone. But a message had remained behind^ .one .which the-'patient. lips, evidently, had feared;to utter during life. The- heart ef ih® son begim to pound, Slow and hard, os, wilh the memory of that conversation, he turned toward the bookcase and unlatched the paneled door. A moment more and the. hol lowed history had given up its trust, a bit of paper scratched with numbers. ‘Robert Fairchild turned toward the stairs and the small room on the sec ond floor which bad served as his fa ther’s bedroom. There he hesitated before the little iron safe in the comer, summoning the courage to unlock the doors of a dead man’s past. The safe had not been opened In years; that was evident from the creaking of the plungers as they fell, the gummy resistance of the knob as Fairchild turned it in accordance with the directions on the paper. Finally, a great wrench, and the bolt, was drawn grudgingly back; a strong pull, and the safe opened. Fairchild crouched for a moment, staring, before he reached for the thinner ’ Of two envelopes which lay before him: A moment later- he straightened and turned toward the light. A crinkling of paper, a quick- drawn sigh between clenched teeth; it was a letter; his strange, quiet, hunted-appearing father was talking to him through the medium of ink and paper, after death. He read: “My Son: “Before I begin this letter to you I must ask that you take no action whatever until you have -seen my at torney—he will be yours from now On. I have never mentioned him to you before; it was not necessary and would'only have brought you curiosity which I could hot have satisfied. But now, I am afraid, the doors must be unlocked. I am gone. You are young, you have been a faithful son and you are deserving' of every good ‘fortune that may possibly come to you. I am praying that the years have made a difference, and tljat Fortune may smile upon you as she frowned on me. Certainly, she can injure me no longer. My race is run; I am beyond earthly fortunes. “Therefore, when you have finished with this, take the deeds inclosed in the larger envelope and go to St. Louis. There^ look up Henry F. Beam ish, atforneyat-law, in the Princess building. He will explain, them to you. “Bfeyond this. I fear, there is IitHe that can aid you. ■' I cannot find the strength, now that 'I . face if, to tell you. what you may find if you follow the lure 'Jiat the other envelope holds forth to you, “There Is always the hope that For tune may be. kind to me :at Iast7 and smile upon my memory by never let- tiiig. you; know why I have been the •sort.of man you have known, and not' the -jovial, genial companion that a father'should b'e. But there'are eer- tain things, my son, which defeat a man: Therefore is it not better that it remain behind a cloud until such time as Fortune may'Veveai it—and hope that such a - time will, never come7 I think so—not for myself,' for when' you' read this,. I' shall . be" gone ; -bur for you, that you may not be han- dicapped by the knowledge' of the thing which whitened my hair and .aged me, iong before'm y time: ; “If he lives; and I dm sure: be d&e, there is one who win bhny to 'youir aid as sdon as he knows you need’ h is t Accept his counsels, laugh at bis little eccentricities If you will, but follow his' judgment implicitly. Above all, ask him no questions that he'does not care to answer—therd-are things that 'he may ^not deem wise to tell. “There is little more to 'say .. Beam ish vrill attend to everything for you— If you care to go. Sell everything that is here; the .house, the furniture, the belongings. It is my wish, and you will need the capital—if you-go. And !^circum stances, should arise to bring before you the sto ry , of that which has- caused me so much"dark ness, I have nothing to 's a y 'in self- extenuation. I made one mistake— that of fear—and In committing, one error, I shouldered every blame. It -makes little difference now. I am dead—and free. -. . “My love .to you, my son. I hope that wealth and happiness await you. Blood of my -blood flows in" your veins' —and strange though it may sound to you—it is the blood of an adventurer, They say, once In the blood, it never dies. My wish is that you succeed where I failed—and God be with yon I “YOUR FATHER.” For a long moment Robert Fairchildf stood staring at the letter, 'his heart pounding with__ excitement, his hands grasping the foolscap paper .as though with a desire to - tear through the shield which the written words had formed about a mysterious past and disclose that which was so effectively hidden. So much had the letter told— and yet so little I Dark had been the' hints of some mysterious, intangible thing, great enough in its horror and its far-reaching consequences'to cause death for one who had', known of In and a living panic for him who bad perpetrated It. In that super-calm ness. which' accompanies great agita tion, Fairchild folded the paper, placed it in its envelope, then, slipped it into an inside pocket A few steps and he w as before the safe once more qnd reaching for the second envelope. Heavy and bulky w as'th is, filled with tax receipts, with plats and blue prints and the reports of'surveyors. Here was an assay slip, bearing figures and notations which Robert Fairohild could not understand, then a legal doc- .ument, sealed and stamped, and bear ing the words: County of Clear Creek, \ ' State of Colorado, j D-EED PATENT. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:' T hat on this day of our Lord, February 22, 1892, Thornton W, Fairchild, having presented the neces sary affidavits and statem ents of as sessments accomplished in accordance with— On it trailed In endless legal .phrase ology, telling In muddled,, attorney-like language, the fact that the.law had been fulfilled ih its requirements, and that the claiih. for which Thornton Fairchild had worked was -rightfully his, ' forever. Fairchild readied for the age-yellowed envejope to return theipapers to their resting'place. But he cheeked his motion involuntarily "I Made One Misfake^-Thdt Cf Fear." and for a moment held the envelope- before him, staring ..at it - with wide eyes.’ Then; as though to- free by the stronger light of the window the liauntfiig'thing' which faced him;' he rose and hurried across the room, to better light, only .to find if bad not been imagination; the words still Were before him, a sentence written in faint, -fa’deB-.

Again and again pounded through his head the fact that only a night of travel Intervened'■ between Indianapo lis and SL Louis; within twelve hours he could b e ' In the office of Henry Beamish. And then— A hurried resolution. A hasty pack ing of a traveling bag and the cashing of a check at-the cigar store down on the corner. A wakeful night' while the , train clattered along upon its journey. At last: “I’m Robert Fairchild;” he said, as he faced, a white-haired, Cupid-faced' man In the rather dingy offices in the Princess building.' A slow smile spread over the pudgy features of the genial-appearing attorney, and he waved a fat hand toward the office’s extra chair. “Sit down, Son,” came casually. “Needn’t have announced yourself. F^ have known you—just like your fa ther, Boy. How is he?” Then his face suddenly sobered.,"'“Pm afraid your presence is the answer. Am I right?” FairchJld nodded gravely. The old attorney stared out of the window to the grimy roof and signboards of the next, building. ' “Perhaps it’s better so,” he said at la st “Did he get any cheerier be fore—he went?” ' “No. Afraid of every step on the veranda, of every knock at the door.” Again the attorney stared out of the window. “And you? Are you afraid?” “Of what?” The lawyer smiled. “I don’t know. Only—” and he leaned forward—“It’s just as though I were living my younger days over again this morning. It doesn’t seem any tim e at all since yonr father was sitting just about where yon -are now, and gad. Boy, how much you look like he looked that morning! The same gray-blne eyes, the same dark hair, the same strong shoulders, and good, manly chin,, the same build—and look; of determination about him. The call of adventure w as, In his blood, and he sat thgre all enthusiastic, telling me w hat he intended doing and ask ing my advice—although he wouldn’t Jiave 'followed it if I had given it Back home was a baby and the woman he loved, and out W est w as sudden wealth, waiting for the right man *to come along and find i t Gad!” White- haired old Beamish chuckled with Jhe memory of it. “Then four years later,?' the tone changed’ suddenly, “he come back.” VWhat then?” FairChlId w as on the edge%ef his chair.- B ut Beamish only spread his hands. “Truthfully,. Boy, I don’t know. I have guessed—but I won’t tell you w hat All I know is that your father found w hat he w as looking for and was on the point of achieving his ev ery droam, when something happened." Then three men simply disappeared from the mining camjj, announcing that they had failed and were going to hunt new diggings. That was all. One of them was your father—” “But you said that he’d, found— "Silver, running twenty ounces' to the ton on an eight-inch vein which gave evidences of being only the be ginning of. a bonanza! -I know; be cause he had written me that, a month before.” - - “And he abandoned it?” “He'd forgotten w hat he had writ ten when I saw him agm n.' I didn't question him .-.H e went home then, after giving me enough money to pay the taxes on the mine for the next- twenty years, simply as his attorney and without divulging his where abouts. f did it. Eight years orjso later I saw him in Indianapolis. He gave me more money—enough for eleven' or twelve years—” “And that was ten years ago?? Rob ert Fairchild’s eyes w ere rem iniscent “I remember—I w as only a kid. He sold off'everything he' had, except the house.” _ Henry. Beamish walked to his safe and fumbled there a m om ent to re turn at last with a few slips of paper. . “Here’s- the answer,” be said qui etly. “the taxes are paid until 1922.” 'Robert Fairchild J studied the- re ceipts carefully—futilely.

Your father told me what to do if you decided to try your luck—and silvers at $1-29.’ It means a lot of money for anybody who can produce pay ore—unless -what he said about the mine pinching out w as true,” Again, the thrill of a new thing went through Robert Fairchild’s veins; something he never had felt until twelve hours before: again the. urge for strange places, new scenes, the fire of the hunt after the hidden wealth- of silver-seamed hills. Robert Fairchild’s life had been a plodding thing of books and accounts, of high desks which as yet had failed to stoop his shoulder^ of sthffy offices which had been thw arted s6 far In'their grip at his lung power; the long walk in the morning and the tired trudge homeward a t n ig h t B ut Qie recall “They Call Him 'Squint’ Rodaine.” had not~exerted Itself against an office cramped brain, a dusty- ledger-filled life that suddenly felt itself crying out for the free, open country, without hardly knowing w hat the term m eant Old Beamish caught the light in the eyes, the quick." contraction of the hands, and "smiled. “You don’t need to tell me, Son,” he said slowly. “I can see the symp toms. You’ve got the fever—you’re going back to work that mine. . “Qhadi is thirty-eight miles from Denver. That’s your goal. Out there, they’ll tell you how the mine caved in, and how Thornton Fairchild, who had worked i t together with his two men, H arry Harkins, a Cornishman, and ‘Sissie’ Larsen, Swede, left town late one night for Cripple Creek—and that they never came back. That’s the story they’ll tell^you.

F. Sat- terthivnit. scientific assistants in cereal and forage insect j investiga tions, bureau of entomology. United Stntes Department of Agriculture, There are three periods, the bul letin states, when chinch bugs may be destroyed most effectively: In No vember and December, by burning or plowing down their hibernating places; in May and June, by sprnying In wheat fields With oil-emulsion nicotine sul phate, and trapping in barriers, follow ing by spraying in marginal rows of corn, if necessary; and in September, -by plowing corn stubble deeply before (lie bugs have gone to winter cover. Chinch bugs spend the winter -large ly In bluestem and other bunch grasses In pastures, neglected fields, roadsides, sunny bill slopes, and similar unculti vated places. These should be burned over in November and December, and unused areas kept as clean as possi ble. The bugs leave their winter quar ters in early spring, migrating to fields of wheat, outs, and Other small grain until it Is nearly ripe ar.d then at tacking the corn and other'row crops. Trap strips of .millet, oats or rye should be placed between the winter quarters of the chinch bugs and the nearest fields of small grain. Fully $46,000,000 Worth -of wheat, corn, oats, grain sorghum and broom corn is destroyed annually by chinch bugs. They occur over the entire?

Fungous diseases and para sitic enemies of the chinch bug nre of Iiltle help in reducing its numbers. Aggressive work against these in sects is more profitable than defensive work, the bureau of entomology be lieves, Co-operation among neighbor ing farpiers In ridding their fields of chinch bugs by spraying is absolutely essential, 'lf the bugs are destroyed In we field but unmolested on a nelgh- Iioring farm they will quickly relnvade Ute territory from which they were banished.

LEADING BREEDS OF GEESE FOR MARKET Toulouse and Emdtn Are Most Popular in This Country, '.- A frutiltty Breeds Are Kept for Pro duction of Flesh and Feathers— African Is Rapid Grower and Matures Earlyk Six breeds of geese Have been ad m itted to, the American standard of perfection, namely, Toulouse, Emden, Chinese, African, Wild or Canadiaa and Egyptian. In addition to the Standard breeds there Is the so-called mongrel goose, which is a hybrid made by crossing one of these varieties, or the common goose, with wild geese. Crosses of the varieties of geese, es pecially of the Toulouse ahd Emden, are occasionally made, but without any apparent gain. The Toulouse, Emden, Chinese and African nre easily the A Toulouse Gander. most popular breeds of geese in this country, the first two greatly leading the other breeds. All Utility -breeds of geese are kept primarily for- the production of flesh and feathers; and although their ejggs are occasionally used for culinary purposes on .the farm , there Is no demand far them for food purposes In the markets. The Toulouse, the largest at the standard breeds of geese, Is a good layer, producing from 20 to 35 eggs a year, is docile, grows rapidly, and makes a good m arket bird, However, its dark pinfeathers make it a slightly less attractive m arket goose than the Emden. ' ' The Emden, a large white goose, slightly sm aller-and with Somewhat longer legs than the Toulouse, Is only a fair layer and is usually less pro* llflc than the Toulouse, This breed has white pinfeathers, is a rapid'grow er, and m atures early, j The African, a gray goOse with a distinct brown Shade, about the else of the Emden, is a good layer and makes a good m arket goose, although it has the objectionable dark pinfeath ers. It is a rapid grower and matures early. , There are two standard varieties Of Chinese -geese, the Brown and' the White. Both varieties m ature early and are said to- be prolific layers .and rapid growers, but shy and rather dif ficult to handle. W IS E TO BURN DEAD ANIMALS Blg Bottle. Flies Breed In Deeaylng Animal Matter and Depreda tions Cause Loss. The big bottle files are abundant In warm weather. There are several kinds of flies that infest wounds on animals, and all of them breed In de coying animal m atter. The bureatupf entomology tells us that if all dead animats could be disposed of properly, no cases of infestation of living ani mals would occur. A wound on a fine bird often causes death beqause of the depredations of these files. It is not unusual for a bird to be In bnd shape before the owner knows It is hurt. The only safe way Is to burn dead animals, and dis infect a wound promptly. Wmber neck has been traced directly to the eating of carrion by the victim.

Generally the statement is made that Leghorn pullets should be gin when five to five and one-half months old; Hhode Island Beds and W yandotte pullets take a month long er and Plymouth Rocks still another month. An investigation made by Purdue University developed the fact that many flocks are not doing as well as they could if the young pullets were properly fed and cared for. They are often crowded In the coops at night for the little brood Coop that is big enough in the spring Lv crowded by late fall and the ehicks sweat. . The most common mistake is - poor feeding. The pullets are allowed free range Over the farm and compelled In Addition to Free Range Pullets Should Be Given Plenfy of Flash. to gather most of their livfng.

Now, at 6:45 p. m., I feel somewhat drowsy, but far away from eternal sleep. Puts Off Deadly Draught.

'Is It not foolish for a m an'deter mined to die within one ltour to'w ait, rather than partake of an unpleasant drink? Two seconds would finish it all right away, still I am musing and add more time to my life, which, In fact. Is already ended; The morphine has put me In a condition of absolute men tal painlessness. I am not attem pting to review my past, life, and do- not try to look Into the future, as I believe that death Is the end, and that there Is no hereafter. ‘My thoughts are w ith. my beloved Wife, whose love arid 'devotion has made me 'extremely happy fpr many years, and with my two grandchildren, who unconsciously brought sunshine to ine.

Queen Vfctmria was In sixtieth place when the m easurements were taken. But a great many books are appear ing that deal with Victoria, and in a short time she may move up to No. 59, so that such, a system' of precedence would be a shifting standard.

It emerges a' modern town with fine, smooth concrete pavement on its main thorougl fares, like a butter fly from its larval shell, and the vexing detour which has caused wayfarers to remember the Davie capital with disrespect these many mouths, is abandoned. The care ful and accurate highway commis sion office does Mocksvllle an in justice in its detour list for the w'eek. A detour, however should be set down for “ Route No. 65, Winston- Salem to Mocksville,” and it should read something like this: W est bound traffic turn to the left at de tour sign about midway the Farm ington cut-off following a narrow, crooked, well-maintained and plain ly marked road via Cornatzer to Mocksville pavement; eastbound traffic turn to right at end of pave ment.” It adds about two miles to the distance between Winston- Salem and Mocksville, which by Route 65 is 27 miles, a gain of some tnree miles since the Farmington angle was eliminated. The detour is for hard surface construction of some five miles out of Mocksville, the grading of which is nowdn pro gress. This is the only detour on the road between Winston-Salem and Statesville, but before this sec tion is opened for traffic it is to be expected that the paving project Winston-Salem to Yadkin river will be in progress. Nineteen twenty- two w’lll go down as the year of the great detour, but detouring is also going to be much in fashion for many a year to come.—Greensboro News. ______________. Farmington News.

The hay and corn crops on the Cooleemee farm is un doubtedly the best to be seep any where in miles around here.

W ashington. — Breeding a dairy cow that will give enough milk to feed' thirty children a day, more than six times the capacity of the ordinary cow, is one of the feats of the in dustry which has been accomplished by the U. S.. Departm ent of Agricul ture and which can' be done-by proper feeding and selective breeding. On its experimental farm near Beltsville, Md., the departm ent has a herd of six cows, the result of breeding work, that have produced an average of more than 22,000 pounds of -milk In 365 days. This little herd yields enough milk te provide a quart a day for ITO children. A n ordinary' cow ,'or scrub, produc es only enough milk to feed five chil dren a quart a day, while a good cow yields enough to give 20 children a quart a .day. The supercow, as the departm ent calls her, and there are more of them In this class every year, gives enough milk so that a small herd m ight easily supply this quan tity to all the small children In a small town. The Improvement of dairy cows m eans more than increased profits to the dairyman, the departm ent de clares; it m eans cheaper and more milk, the best bone and muscle mak er for children. Good breeding and good feeding have made the differ ence.

BILL GEIS LIHLE AnENTiOK IS SIDETRACKED WHILE SENATE: . DISCUSSES THE STRIKES AND THE NEWBERRY CASE. HEFUN FAVORS ITS PASSAGE Senator Underwood, in Brief Debate,1 Voices Opposition to the Bonus Increase. London.—M ichael' Collins, head ot the Irish provisional government gov ernm ent and the Irish national army, was shot from .ambush and killed at Bandron, county Cork, a few honrs after he had been given an ovation by the people .of Cork city, who for the first tim e saw' the free state hero In the uniform of commailder-in- chief. Thus- within ten days two ot the m ost prom inent figures In the new Irish government have been removed by death. Just ten days ago President Griffith, of the Dail Eirrean, consider ed the brains of the new adm inistra tion, died In Dublin; Michoel Collins, the free state m ilitary genius, was killed at the moment when the dissi pation of irregular forces In the south was considered complete. Several attacks have, been made against the life of Michael Collins, head of the provisional government and commander-in^chlef of the Irish national army. Ilie latest attem pt was a bombing outrage, when his ta r was ambushed on the. Dublin side of Stillorgen. The official communica tion issued In. connection with this at tack did not indicate w hether Mr. Col lins was In the machine a t the time. The dtlver was wounded and the car was wrecked, a bomb and more than a score of shots were fired. In Dublin on April 17, while Mr. Col lins w&s on iris way home after having addressed a m eeting at. Naas, County Kildare, he was attacked by a group of men, some with rifles, who rushed his car and opened fire. The Collins party .returned the lire and one of the assailants was cap tured. Collins was not Injured. Mr. Collins, in ’addition to being the commander-in-chief of the national army, was finance m inister' In the Dail Eireann cabinet. He was one of those who succeeded In obtaining?' a tem porary injunction in New York restraining Eamon de Valera or his agents from withdrawing funds col lected for the Irish republican cause deposited in banks In New York city. W ashington—The soldiers’ bonus bill received but little attention in the senate, as it was submerged under th e discussions of the coal and rail strikes and the Newberry case, with the re sult that the leaders do not now an ticipate its passage for several days, j In the brief debate, Senator Under wood of Alabama, the democratic leader, voiced his opposition to the. measure, with Senator Heflin, denuK crat, of the same state, vigorously' urging its passage. Senator Underwood declared the m easure was not an adjusted compen sation bill; that it had been properly named by the public—a bonus bill. “You cannot m easure service to country In dollars,” declared the ml-' nority leader. “If you are to m easure service in that way, then $625 is an' absurd proposition. The payment of a dollar a day will not adjust that great debt a generous people m ust al ways owe to the gallant m en who car-1 rled the flag in tim e of war." ! Senator Underwood argued that if aj 1>onue was to be voted congresa; should provide the funds through tax ation on this generation and not post-] pone paym ent of the billions to a time, when the veterans themselves would: be called upon to bear m ost of the' burden. He said the men who got1 money through the w ar should help to! pay the bonus if one was to be given.j Sounding a warning against piling!} up a huge debt against the future,! Senator Underwood declared thatj should an emergency arise during that' time, this debt m ight prove a handi cap not alone by man-power and in-j dustrial capacity of a country, but by; financial resources. I Senator Heflin, supporting the bill,1 declared that those opposing the bo-' nus had:not made a “peep” when con-' gress was voting millions for the set-j tlem ent of claims of w ar contractors.1 He charged that "w ar profiteers” werei fighting the bill “to the death” and; th at the “interests" were filling the'' newspapers with the greatest propa ganda against the m easure that had' been attem pted since w ar days. : Asserting that hundreds of thous ands' of form er service men were now 'without jobs. Senator Heflin de-! clared that there could be no talk about “cheapening” a man’s patriot ism when hunger demanded that hs “get something to eat and a place to sleep.” 1 grains, oil stocks and stocks and bonds, being perm itted to win theirj" eolllns, always an ardent Sinn Fein- er, w as atnong those leaders who, while holding to the fundam entals of tradition for the freedom of Ireland, still were willing to effect a peace with Great Britain.

I I CHAPTER III I —2— Three weeks later, Bobert Fairchild sat In the smoking compartment of the Overland Limited, looking at the Bocky mountains In the distance. In his pocket were a few hundred dol lars; In the bank In Indianapolis a few thousand, representing the final proceeds of the sale of everything that had connected him with a rather dreary past. Out before him— Three weeks had created a meta morphosis 'in what had been a plod ding, matter-of-fact man with dreams • which did not extend beyond his led gers and- his gloomy home—but now a ■ man leaning his head against the win dow, of a rushing train, staring ahead toward the BockIes and the rainbow they held for him. Back-to the place where his father- had gone with dreams aglow was the son traveling now—back Into .the rumpled moun tains where the blue haze hung low and protecting as though over myste ries and treasures which awaited one man and one alone. It thVilled Fair child, it caused his heart to tug and pull—nor could be tell exactly why, The hills came closer. Still closer ; then, when it seemed that the train must plunge straight into them, they drew away again, as though through some optical Illusion, and brooded In the background, as the long, trans continental ■ train began to basg over, the frogs and switches as it made Its entrance into Denver. Fairchild went through the long chute and to a ticket window. “When can I get a train for Ohadi?” The ticket seller smiled. "You can’t get one.” “But the map shows that a railroad runs there—” “Ran there, you mean,” chaffed the clerk. “The best you can do is to get to Forks Creek and walk the rest of , the way. That’s a narrow-gauge line. an<l Clear creek’s been on a ram page. It took out about two hundred feet of trestle, and there won’t be a train into Ohadi for a week. Stranger ‘out here?’.’ - ' “Very much of one.” “In a hurry to get to Ohadi?” “Yes.” “Then you can go uptown and hire a taxi—they’ve got big cars for moun tain work and there are good roads all the way. It’ll cost fifteen or twenty dollnrs. Or—” Fairchild smiled. “Give me the other system if you’ve got one. I’m not ter ribly long on cash—for taxis.” ■ “Certainly. No use spending that money if you’ve got a little pep, and it isn’t a m atter of life or death. Go up to the Central loop—anybody can direct you—and catch a street car for Golden. That eats up fifteen miles arid leaves' just twenty-three miles more. Then ask somebody to point, out the road over Mount Lookout. Machines go along there every few minutes—no trouble at all to catch a ’ride. You’ll-be In Ohadi In no time.” Fairchild obeyed the instructions, and in the baggage room rechecked his trunk to follow him, lightening his travefing bag at the same time until it carried only necessities. A Iunch- „ eon, then the street- car. Three quar ters of an hour later,’ he began the five-mile trudge up the broad, smooth, carefully groomed automobile high-, way which masters Mount Lookout. A rumbling sound behind him, then he stepped to one side, a grimy truck driver leaned out to shout aq he iassed: ' y , “W ant a lift? Hop on! Can’t Stop—too much grade.” A running leap, and Fairchild seat ed himself on the tailboard of the truck, swinging his legs and Jooking out over the "fading plains as the truck roared and clattered upward along the twisting mountain road.. • Upward, still upward!- The town below became merely a checkerboard thing, the lake a dog of gleaming sil ver, the streapi a scintillating ribbon stretching off into the foothills. A turst; and they skirted "a tremendous valiey, its slopes falling away in- sheer descents -from the roadway. A dark ened,, moist stretch of road, fringed by pines, then a jogging journey over roll ing tab!e-land/ At last came a voice from the driver’s seat. " “Turn off up here at Genesee moun tain. Which wav do you go?" “Trying to get to Ohadi.” , Fairchild shouted it above the roar <ff the en gine. The driver waved a hand for ward. “Keep to the main road. Drop off when I make the'turn,” “Thanks for the lift.” . “Aw. forget i t ” The truck wheeled from the main road arid chugged away, leaving Fair child afoot, making as much progress as possible toward his goal until good fortune should, bring a swifter means of locomotion. Suddenly he wheeled Behind him sounded the swift droning of a motor, cut-out open, as it rushed forward along the road—and the ndise told a story of speed. F ar at the brow of a steep hill it appeared, seeming to hang In. space for an instant before leaping down-- ward. Rushing, plunging, once skid ding dangerously at a-sm all curve, It made the descent,- bumped over a bridge, was lost for a second In the pines, then sped toward him, a big touring car, with a small, resolute figure clinging to the wheel. Then, with a report like a revolver shot, the machine suddenly slewed In 'drunken fashion far to one side of the'road, hung dangerously over the steep cliff an instant, righted itself, swayrid for ward and stopped, barely twenty-five yards away. , Staring,' Robert .Fair child saw that a small, trim figure.had leaped forth and was waving excited ly to’ him, and he ran forward. His first glance, had proclaimed It a boy; the second had told a different story. -A girl—dressed.in far different fashion from Robert Fairchild’s lim ited specifications of feminine garb— she cau.sed him to gasp In surprise, then to stop and _ stare. Again she waved a hand and stamped a foot ex citedly; a "vehement little thing In a snug whipcord riding habit and a checkered cap pulled tight over close ly braided hair, she awaited him with all the impatience of impetuous wom anhood. “For goodness’ sake, come here!” she called, as he still stood gaping. “I’ll give you five dollars. H urry!” Fairchild managed to voice the fact that he would bf willing to help with out remuneration, as he hurried for ward. She. dived for the toiineau, jerking with all her strength\at the heavy seat cushion, as he stepped, to the running board beside her. “Can’t- get?-, this dinged thing u p !” she panted. “Always sticks when you’re in a hurry. That's it! Jerk it. Thanks! H ere!” She reached for ward and a small, sun-tanped hand grasped a greasy jack, “Slide under the back axle arid put this jack in place, will you? And rush It I I’ve gpt to change a' tire in nothing'flat! H urry!” Fairchild, almost before he knew It, found himself under the rear of the car, fussing with a refractory lifting jack, and trying to keep his' eyes from the view of triinly clad, brown-shod little feet, as they pattered about at the side of the car, hurried to the run ning board, then stopped as wrenches and a hammer clattered to the ground. Then one shoe was raised, to press tight against a wheel; metal touched metal, a feminine gasp sound ed as strength was exerted in vain, then eddying dust as the foot stamped, accompanied by an exasperated ejacu lation. * “Ding these old lugs!. They’re rust ed ! Got that jack in place yet?” “Yes! I’m raising the car_now.” “Oh, please hurry.” There was pleading in the.tone now. “Please!” The car creaked upward. Out came Fairchild, brushing the Tlust from his clothes. But already the girl was pressing the lug wrench Into his hands.- “Don’t mind that dirt," came her exclamation. ‘TH—I’ll give you some extra money to get your suit cleaned. Loosen those lugs, while I get the spare tire off the back. And for good ness’ sake, please hurry!” Astonishment, had taken away speech for Fairchild, H e’could only wonder—and obey, while behind him Staring Wonderingiy a t-a Ten-Dollar Bill. a girl in whipcord ’ riding habit' and close-pulled cap fidgeted first on one tan-clad foot, then'-on the other, dftx- iously ’ watching the road behind her and calling-constantly for speed. At last th? job was finished, the girl fastening, the unless shoe behind the machine w hiie^airehild tightened the last of the lugri Then as he straight ened, a small figure, shot to his side,- took the' w rench’from his hand and sent it, with' the other tools, clatter ing into th e tonneau.^ A tiny 'hand tJWBt- into a pocket, something that, crinkled w as; shoved into._the. man's grasp, and .while he stood there gasp ing, she leaped to: the driver’s seat, I slammed the. door, spun the starter !until It whined, and with open-cut- I out roartnjragBis, w as off and away, rocking down the mountain side, around . a curve and out of e ig h t- while Fairchild merely stood there, staring wo&deringly at a ten-dollar bill I ’ A noise from the rear, growing louder, and the amazed man turned to see a second machine, filled with men, careening 'toward him .. a Fifty feet away the brakes creaked, arid the big automobile- came to a~ skidding, dust-throwing stop. A ' sun-browned man In a Stetson hat, m etal badge gleaming from beneath his coat, leaned forth. - “Which way did he go?” “He?” Bobert Fairchild stared. “Yeh. Didn’t a.m an.just pass here In an automobile? W here’d he go— straight on the tnaln road or off on the circuit trail?” “It—it wasn’t a man. It—It w as a boy, just about fifteen years old.” . “Sure?” “Oh, yes—” Fairchild was swim ming in deep water, now.^ “I got a good look at him. He—he took that road off to the le ft” It was the opposite one to which the hurrying' fugitive In whipcord had taken. There was doubt In the inter rogator's eyes. ' “Sure of that?” he qfieried. “I'm the sheriff of Arapahoe county. That’s an auto bandit ahead of us. We—” - “Well, I wouldn’t swear to. it. Jhere was another machine ahead, arid I lost ’em both for a secondjdown there by the turn.” “Probably him, all right.”'T he voice came from the tohneau. “Maybe he figured to give us the slip arid get back to Denver." “Let’s go!” The sheriff was press ing a foot on the accelerator. Down the hill went the car, to skid, then to make a short turn on to the road which led away from the scent, leav ing behind a man' standing in the middle of the road, staring at a ten- dollar bill—and wondering why he had IledI • ■ • C h a p t e r iv W onderment which got' nowhere. The sheriff’s car returned before Fair child reached the bottom of the grade, and again stopped to survey the scene of defeat. ' , “Dangerous character?” 'Fairchild hardly knew why he asked the ques tion. TherSheriff smiled grimly. “H it was the'fellow we were after, he was plenty dangerous. W e were trailing him on word from D enver- described the car and said he’d pulled a daylight hold-up o n . a pay-wagon for the Smelter company—so when the car went through Golden, we took ,tip the trail .a couple of- blocks behind. He kept the same speed for a little while until one of my deputies got a little anxious and took a ' shot at a tire. Man, how he turned on the juice! I thought that thing w as a jack rabbit, the way it went up the hill! I guess it’s us back to the office.” . The automobile went its way then, and Fairchild his; still, wondering. And so thoroughly did the incident en gross him that it was not until a truck had come to a full stop behind him ,. and a driver iriingled a shout with the tooting of his horn, th a t he turned, to allow Its passage. “Didn’t hear you, old man,” he apol ogized. “Could you give a fellow a lift?” “Guess so.” It was friendly, even -though a bit disgruntled; ‘!hop on.” And Falrchild-'hopped, once more to sit on the tailboard, swinging his legs, but this time his eyes saw the ever- changing scenery without noticing It. In spite of himself, Fairchild found bimselfymnstantly sta rin g a t a vision' of a pretty girl In a ridinghabit, with dark-brown hair straying . about equally dark-brown eyes, almost fren zied in her efforts to change a tire in' tim e ^to elude a pursuing sheriff. Some way. It all didn’t blend. If she hadn’t committed some sort of depredation against the law, WfiJTiri earth was she Willing to part with ten dollars, mere ly to- save a few moments in changing a tire and thus elude-a sheriff? If there had been nothing wrong, could not a moment of explanation have sat isfied" anyone o f the fact? It w as'too much for anyone, and. Fairchild knew i t Yet he clung grim- ,Iy to’ the mystery as the truck clat tered on, mile after mile.- A -small town gradually.was coming into view. A m ile more, then the Jruck stopped with a jerk. ' * -“W here .yon bound for, pardner?” “Ohadi.” .. “That’s it, straight ahead. ! I turn off here. Miner ?” ~ : , Fairchild shrugged " his shoulders and nodded noncommittally “Just thought I’d ask. Plenty of work, around here for single and double jackers, Things are beginning to look up a.bit—a t Iehst in sliver.” “Thanks. Do yoii' know a good Jlace to stpp?” • “Yeh. -Mother Howard’s boarding house.

She was here when mining was! mining!” v Fairehild lifted his" bag, from the rear of the vehicle, waved a farewell to the'driver a jd started Into th e vil lage. ' And then the, vision of the girl ,departed, m om entarily,.to gjveplaee to other thoughts; other pictures, o f a riay longgon* J V The srin w as slanting low, Hifowing deep shadows from the hills'into the little valley wfth its chattering; milk- white stream, softening thp scars of the mountains with their great refnse dum ps; rem inders of hopes of twenty years before and as bare of vegeta tion as In the days when the pick and gad und drill of the prospector tore the rock loosu from its hiding place under the surface of the ground. The scfnb pines of the almost barren mountains took on a fluffier, softer tone; the jutting rocks melted away into their own shadows; It was a pic ture of peace'and of memories. And it had been here that Thornton Fairchild, back in the nineties; had dreamed his dream s and fought bls' fight A-sudden cramping caught the son’s h eart and it pounded with some thing akin to fear. The old forebod ing o f-h is father’s letter had come upon him, the mysterious thread, of that elusive, intangible Thing great enough to break the will and resist ance of a strong man arid turn him into a weakling—silent white-haired —sitting by a window, waiting for death. W hat had It been? W hy had it come upon his father? How cqnld it be fought? He brushed away, the beady perspiration .with a gesture al most of anger, then with a look of re lief, turned In at a small white gate toward a big, ram bling building which proclaimed itself, by the sign on the door, to be Mother Howard’s boarding house. h A moment of waiting, then be faced a gray-haired, kindly faced woman, “He's—He’s Gone, Mrs. Howard." who stared a t him with wide-open eyes as she stood, hands on hips, be fore him. “Don’t you tell me I don’t know you! If you' ain’t a Fairchild, Til never feed another miner compd beef and'cabbage as long as I live. Ain’t you, now?” she persisted, “ain’t yori. a ,Fairchild?” The m an laughed in spite of him self. “You guessed it.” “You’re Thorfiton Fairchild’s boy!” She had reached opt for his handbag, arid then, bustling"’about him, drew him Into the big “parlor.” “Didn’t I know you the minute I saw you? Land, you’re the picture of your dad! Sakes alive, how is he?” There w as a moment of silence,- Fairchfld found himself suddenly halt ing and boyish as he stood before her. “He’s—he’s gone, Mrs. Howard.” ,“ Dead?” She put up both hands. “It don’t seem possible. And me re membering him looking just like you, full of.life and strong and—” “Our pictures of him are a good deal different. I - I guess you knew him when everything was all right for him. Things were different after he got home again.” Mother Howard looked quickly about her, then with a sw ift motion closed the door. “Son,” she asked In -a low voice, “didn’t he ever get over it?” “It?” Fairchild felt that he stood on the threshold of discoveries. “W hat do you mean?” . "Didn’t he ever tell -you anything, Son?” “No. I—" " “Well, there wasn’t any need to.” But Mother Howard's sudden embar rassment. her change of color, told Fairchild it wasn’t the truth. “He just had a little bad luck out here, that w as-all. His—his mine pinched out just when he’d thought he’d struck it rich—or something like that.” “Are" you sure that is the truth?” For a second they faced each other. Robert Fairchild serious and 'intent. Mother- Howard looking at him with eyes defiant, yet-compassionate. Sud denly they twinkled, the lips broke from their straight line into a' smile, and a kindly old hand reached ont to take him by the arm . “Don’t you stand there and try to tell M other Hojvard she don’t know wbaf she’s talking about!’! came in tones of mock severity. “H ear me? Now, you get up them- steps and wash up for dinner. Take the first room on the right. It’s a nice, cheery place.” In his room. Fairchild tried not to think. H is brain w as beqpming too crammed with queries, with strange happenings and with aggravating mys- tlcisms^of the life Into w hiehhis fa ther’s, death, had thrown him tp per m it ciearness o f'v islo n . Bhrmi In M other Howard he had not been able’ ’ ■■ K- '■ . ' -V- ' to escape It; She told all too plainly, both by ' Her actions and her words; that she knew something of the mys tery of the .past—arid had falsified to keep the knowledge from him. It was too' gulling for thought. Rob ert Fairchild hastily made his toilet, then answered the ringing of the din ner bell, to vbe Introduced -to strong- shouldered men who gathered about the long fables; Cornishmen, who talked' an “h-less” language, ruddj- faced Americans, and a sprinkling of English, all of whom conversed about things which were to Fairchild as so much Greek—of “levels” and “stopes” and '-lWinzes," of “skips” and “man- ways” and “rises.” which m eant noth ing to the m an who yet m ust m aster itbem all, If he were to follow his am bition. - Robert Fairchild spoke but seldom, except to - acknowledge the Introduc tions as M other Howard made hinv known to each of his table m ates. But it w as not aloofness;, from the first, the newcomer hadi liked the irien -about him, liked the ruggedness, the mingling’ of culture with the lack of it, liked the enthusiasm, the muscle and brawn, liked them all—all but two. Instinctively, from the first men tion of his, name, He felt they were watching him, two men who sat far in the rear of the big dining room, older than "the other occupants, far less inviting it appearance. One w as smaHv-though chunky in build, with sandy, hair and eyebrows;- with weak, filmy blue eyes over which the lids blinked constantly. The other, black haired jrith streaks of gray, powerful in his build, and^w ith a walrus-like mustache drooping over hard lips, was the sort of antithesis naturally to be found in the Company of- the smaller, sandy complexioned man. Who they were, w hat they were, FairchiId did not - know; except from the gexeral attributes which told th at they too fol lowed the great gamble of mining. B ut one thing w as^eertaln; they watched him throughput the m eal; they talked about him in low tones and ceased wilen M other Howard came n ear; they seemed to recognize in him someone who brought both curiosity and innate enmity to the surface. And m ore; long before the rest had finished their meal, they rose/and left the room, in tent, apparently, upon some im portant mission. A fter th a t,. Fairchild ate with less of a relish. In his mind w as the cer tainty that these two men knew him—r or a t least knew about him—and that they did not relish his presence. Nor were his suspicions long In being ful filled. H ardly h a d . he reached the hall, when the beckoning eyes of Mother Howard signaled to him. In stinctively' he waited for the other diners to pass him, then looked eager ly toward Mother Howard as she once more approached. “I don’t know w hat you’re doing here,” came shortly, “but I want, to.” Fairchild straightened. “There isn’t much to tell you,” he answered quiet ly. “My father left m e the Blue Poppy mine in his will. I’m here to work it.” “Know anything about mining?” _ “Not a thing.” ' “Or the people you’re liable to have to buck up against?” “Very little.” “Then, Son,” and M other Howard laid a kindly hand on his arm -“what ever you do, keep your plans to your self and don’t talk too much. And what’s more, if you happen to get into communication w ith Blindeye Bozeman and Taylor Bill, lie your head off. Maybe you saw ’em, a sandy- haired fellow and a big man with a black mustache, sitting a t the back of the room?” Fairchild nodded. ,“Well, stay away from them. They belong to ‘Squint* Rodaine. Know him?” She Shot the question sharply. .!Again Fairchild nodded. “Tve heard Jh e name. W hb is he?” A voice called to M other Howard from the dining room. She turned away, then leaned close to Robert Fairchild. “He’s a miner, and he's al ways been a miner. Right now, he's mixed up with some of- the biggest people in town. He’s always been a man to. be afraid of—and he w as your father’s worst enem y!” Then, leaving Fairchild staring after her, khe moved on to her duties in the kitchen. "RodainerS a rattlesnake. His son’s a rattlesnake." (TO B E CO NTINU ED .) New Type of Power Shovel. It has lofig been recognized that, to meet certain conditions, a gasoline- driven power shovel would have ad vantages oyer-m achines using othr*, forms of power. Many attem pts have" been made, patterned mostly after the steam shovel, to adapt, gasoline power to this type of machine, but all of them -have been open to criticism. Now, however, a new type of gasoline power shovel; described in Popular M echanics, has been placed on the m arket which is a A dical departure from the accepted designs. In this machine; which has successfully passed its preliminary ^trials, all pow er is supplied from one slow-speed gasoline engine, and there are no mo tors, engines or dutches on the boom. The dipper can be put through any motions possible with the steam shov el, even to the shaking of the dipper to free It of sticky m aterial. The bdbm may be raised or lowered in the usual manner, w hile the-"swing is con trolled-by a . separate dutch. The shovel Is mounted on tractor treads and is self-propelled. The first machine gun was invented by M. dn Perron of Lyons, France. It w as rejected by Louis. XVI as mopg too murderous. CONDENSED NEWS FROM THE OLD NORTH STATE SHORT NOTES OF INTEREST*) .

MrL Ford held financial interests re sponsible for the industrial tie-up, de claring the “money barons” were man ipulating the labor unions and! the pub lic officials, state and national, were im potent ,in the crisis. The strikes would end, he contin ued; “when the m ajority of the people are ; cold and hungry enough to re-' so rt'to drastic action.” ' “‘Continuance of these ..disturbances to the economic life of the nation is due simply to the greed and avarice of W all Street,” Mr. Ford asserted, adding that these interests “dominab ed the railroads, coal mines and publis utilities of the country.’’ The deadlock in strike negotiations Indicated, he declared, the existence of a “plot to unload the demoralized and rundown railroads on the govern m ent a t their own price and to mulch the: people! through excessive prices.” Employes of the Ford Motor com pany throughout the country to •.

Thirty thousand others are. now.work ing in the various assem bling, plants scattered throughout the country also will be thrown out of employment! How Tong the m achinery.^ In the Ford plants is to be stilled-w ill de pend, entirely upon the cpal-'supply of the future, the Detroit m anufacturer said-/ The statem ent issued by Mr. Ford proposing the shutdown was the story of his losing fight during the last .month to insure a fuel.-SUpply suf ficient to keep his workers a t their machines. - Mr. Ford declared that he;.“had not the rem otest idea” . when the plants could be reopened. It was announced that the normal consumption of coal in the Ford' industries is 13 goo tons and although., decl'ning to state the ateoun.t on hand at this Eimq officials sa:d it would be impossible to do more ‘than keep the furnaces! and Ovens warm.” *- .'• French Ship Goes'to Bottom.

LONG BROWN PATH Vacationists With Shelter Tents and Tin Cow Learning to WaIkAIIOverAgain. Oh! It's not the pack that you carry on your back Nor the rifle on your shoulder,Nor the five inch crust of khaki-colored dustThat makes you feel your limbs ore crowing older;And IPs not the IiJke on the hard turnpike That drives away your smile,Nor the socks of sisters that raise the blooming blisters—It's the last iong mile.—Plattsburgh Marching Song. Stringiiig out from the suburban transit term inals of New York every Sunday and holiday goes flip army of khaki-clad hikers. There may be an automobile for every twenty of the country’s population, but a host of city folks disprove the theory of a future ®Hg-enfeebled citizenry and are learning to walk all over again. To the more casual minded, the hike is Just exereise, but to those" who catch its real significance the hike IiKans a great deal more. Xt is the cheapest form of recreation and therefore appeals to fliose living In ■crowded' districts and unable to avail themselves of th e 1 more expensive amusements. And these penpie, be It noted, are Just those the country Is so anxious to have spread out and settled in the farming sections. , The hike, indeed, has possibilities as a real starter for the "back to the farm ” movement. Doughboy and Boy Scout Lead Way Just a brief survey of the rollicking -groups which move off from the out lying terminals on holidays estab lishes a few general types. There is the ex-service man and his friends ' who will hear from him the story of more serious excursions on the muddy roads of France. He tight ens a strap here and another there on the blanket roll adjustment or the "shelter h alf” in which the commis sary is packed for the mid-day feast by the roadside. E xpert' directions come, from him Oni the method of slinging the pack so It will not feel so heavy or interfere with the free body movement. He will pass along the Information gained In his army days, of how that same pack was evolved after numerous experiments to find the easiest way of carrying the heaviest load. W ith results he now compliments, but which he char acterized when a- doughboy as a ‘•blankety-blank total failure.” Then there are the boy scout par ties, adept at everything pertaining to "shanks mare" traveling and wood craft The ex-service man and the boy scout are pioneers in the hiking game. Listen,-to one of them right off the train and making ready for a twelve mile Jaunt; “Get that can teen over to the side, Jimmie, and it won’t keep bouncing off your leg every step. Is it filled? Well, then, we-drink. How about the eats? Let’s check ’em off. You got the spuds, B ill; the bacon Jimmie. Who has the coffee and the Borden tin cow?” “Right here,” announces a freckled comrade of the road, patting his knap sack. “Snitched the mocha and the can of milk when Sls wasn’t looking.' “Weil, then, let’s go I” snaps the commander of the expedition. This party is traveling light for real dlBtunce. ' Another must expect to make a shorter hitch or else be count ing greatly on Its power of endur ance, Perhaps the camp is not far off because the group is equipped for an over-night stay with heavy blanket rolls, hatchets, lanterns, canvas wa- terpails, rubber ponchos, kettles, pots, new fangled firestand, etc., etc. The blankets are laid out for a better packing of . the Imgs and cans of food. When the party commences to load up the members bristle ail over with camp tools and equipment .''v. Back to the Farm The veteran from the crowded city tenfm ents has found a new territory ,to roam and one almost unknown to .his associates. He is introducing them to this newly discovered land and teaching them how to be independent of any transportation but their own good legs and. of any subsistence but v.-hat they can carry and prepare. “Walk, and cook your own,” is his motto. Who will say the' leaven thus fer menting in the city crowds will not bear fruit In a keener appreciation of country delights, especially as these are added to by Increased comforts on the farm. With his radio hitched up, the farm er listens In on the best entertainment the country has to offer.' Modern home devices/wipe out many hardships formerly imposed upon isolated dwellers. There is, In short, a rapid cutting down of the differential between farm and city n j7!'! r ON THE JCB Vt - ~ - ■ : Willis—How is the efficiency expert Coming on at your office? Gillis—Fine.
