Rnleiirli reports that a secret bal lot Iniv (called Australian) has al- ai,d' Iiccii drafted, for introduc tion in the legislature and that there js k,hh1 reason to expect that a me.IStIIC Ot that character will pass. It is said that in addition to the treking of citizens who favor such a law as a matter of principle, in- cUiuine ti'e women’s organizations, not a lew politicians have been won b'cause of a sim ilar Iaiv iu opera- tini in Republican counties at the recent el ction returned m ajorities for the Democrats. A tteutiou has been called to the fact that the act of the recent special session, w itch atmlied to certain councies, is al leged to contain provisions which can be unfairly used. In Surry county, for instrance, it is alleged that persons were assigned to the booths as markers—to m ark ballots Iorthevotersw he were supposed io he unable to-mark for themselves an'I that in. some of the Surry gie- cincis the m arking jobs were" as- signed exclusively to Democrots, tvitit resultant Democratic tnajori tie.-. That sort of procedure is so obviously unfair that it isn’t neces- san to discuss it. T he whole idea of the secret ballot law is th at, the voter shall arrauge his ballot pri vately, without assistance or sug gestion, and, ifL he chooses, vote the ticket folded so th at it can’t be ki.cuvn lioiv he voted ; T he object of course is to remove the vcter. from influence, from pressure, and to prevent corruption. One doesn’t care to pay for a-vote when he can have no assurance that the vote is delivered. M arking a ballot may seem a great puzzle to those who have never>-vote 4c tbdt vkiildrHJtir with ignorance can soon learn the process. If a voter Dels that he must have assistance, then it should be his privilege to m ake his own selection of a helper, and whoever he chooses should be privileged to go in the booth with him . The idea that a representative of one party or even a representative of each party, should be regularly as signed to this job defeats, or is de signed to defeat, the very object of the secret ballot law. If workers, or watchers are to be stationed in. the booths, the main object of the law is largely defeated. If there is a purpose to put on a secret ballot law ivitu a whole in it simply to meet the demand for a fairer and more honest and efficient nieihod of recording the will of the electorate, better leave things as they are. It has been the practice to put jokers in election laws, to so frame them that while they are ostensiblv fair a four horse team can be driven through them if there is a disposition and an emergency that call for the driving. W e may mistake public sentim ent; but the opinion here is that playing this ■sort of game is going to be more dangerous hereafter than it has been. If a new election law is put on with the purpose to leave tire wav open for sharp practice, it may Jesuit in a resentment that will jolt the complacency of politicians who believe that tney can put almost aUVlhirig over on the folks sim ply because they have been doing that sort of thing— R.

Under w hat law, w hat ruling, w hat’ precedent they, could give the office to Democralic candidate when the Republican re ceived just as m any votes, cannot be explained.

ThejDemocratspinrlied themselves to see if they were awake when Neekins made this charge, and Mr- Lean .their “ fighting Scotchman” candidate continued to lumber, a round over the State and entirely deny the charge saying in as many words that Meeltins was “ talking through his hat.” The Charlotte Observer.

If they are n simply for pie, let them be kicked out. The editor of the Yellow Jaekei -speaks with a life-long conviction for we did this when Woodrow Wil son was elected President. We were for many 5 ears postmaster at thi-- place, and immediately on President Wilson’s election we wired our re signation, so th t his own party choice could be installed into our plaoe. There are some pos masters over this country who have persis, tently withheld the Yellow Jacket from its subscribers because, being Democrats, thev didn’t waut the lit tie Stinger to get into the hands of the voters.

Harding again recalls to the Ameri cans an interesting thing in natural Iif'-; Presidents are outlined by their wives. Today there is but one for nier President alive The are five wives of Presidents living. Of course it is tbue th at the social leadership of the country is not as afiuous as is the political leadership. The First Ladifes of -the Land are not to pressei, not so terribly worked, not under such a mental strain as are the men whom they have married. And that, perhaps, is the reason.that more women who have graced the White House are alive today than men. William H ow ardTaft is the only ex-President alive. He is active, su perlatively so,-with interests in the collegiate so. with interests in the collegiate world Yale and in his position as Chief Justice of the United-States Mrs, William How ard Taft, divides her time between New Haven and Washington, and is an idea! h istess in both places. Perhaps the least' known of the former President’s wives still living i-s Mrs Benjim Harris Her hus band was Cnief Executive of the countrv m 1889 to 1893 . then being succeeded b. Governor Cleveland, whose wile is s*ill living. Mrs Har risen is living in Indianapolis, living quietly entertaing but little, and fidirig a position as one of the lead ing women of Indiana She has re turned once or twice to Washington since she lived there, but always she has studiously refrained from join ing in anv social affairs at the capi tal. Mrs Grover Cleveland'Preston is much better known. She is living m.Princefori; N J , Where she was friendly with Professor and Mrs. by.podrow' Wilspnv ^Sbe ,Is1IioW-^the wife of a Princeton College profes sor, arid confines herself to leading the life expected of her, although there have been times when she stepped into the /political arena on iwn account. Woodrow Wilson’s second wife, Mrs John Gait Wilson, is also alive She resides in W ashington, where she lived before she married the Pre sident—being one of the few women to become brides in the White House. Mrs Wilson lives in the quiet brick bouse which her husband occupied up to the time of his recent death, and she has not yet taken up the social leadership which was hers be fore he became so seriously ill. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson’s family is wealthy her first husband having been one of jewelers. Another wife of a form er Presid «nt lives in New York state. She is Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, who re uenti.v had a sensation that no other presidential wife has had. She saw ner son, walking in the footsteps of her husbandl become a candidate for -he governorship of tie Empire State. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt maintains the old home at Oyster Bay, L I . So it is that the living wives of the dead. Presidents live afterward- much as other women do. All of them, however, occupy in the eyes and minds of the American people a place set apart. Thev have, been the wives of the Presidents; they are still surrounded by the honor that position carried.—Ex. > A Good Ihing - DON’T MISS IT.

(Prepared by the United Statia Department oi Asrlcultore.) Handreds of millions of dollars are being loaned to co-operative market ing organizations and Individual farm ers on the basis of warehouse receipts issued by warehousemen licensed under the TTnlted States warehouse act, reports H. S. Xohe of the United States Department of Agriculture, whisfi Is charged with administration of the act; Co-operatives Using Receipts. Among the prominent co-operatives using licensed receipts In negotiating loans of their stored commodities are the Burley Tobacco Growers’ Co-opera tive association; the Dark Tobacco Growers’ Co-operative association; the Tobacco Growers’ Co-operative As sociation of Virginia and the Caro- Iinas; the Northern Wisconsin Co-oper ative Tobacco pool; the South Caro lina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana. Arizona, Tennes see and Missouri cotton growers co operative associations; the long-and short staple cotton co-operative asso ciations of Mississippi; the Kansas, southwest and Indiana wheat grow ers; the Louisiiina and Arkansas rice growers' co-operative associations; the Pacific, California, Montana and Iowa wool growers’ co-operative associa tions, and the Georgia Peanut Grow ers’ Co-operative association. The act' now provides for the issu ance of warehouse receipts for cot ton. wool, tobacco, grain, farmers’ ,,stock peanuts, late potatoes, broom corn, dry beans, and dried, fruit. Any public warehousemen who can estab lish to the-satisfaction of the Depart ment of Agriculture that they are trustworthy, competent, financially re- sponsible. and have proper storage fa cilities. may be licensed to store these products. Accepted as Collateral. So favorably does the banking fra ternity view . the' receipts Issued by the federally licensed warehousemen that many banks accept the receipts as collateral without question, Mr. Yohe says. • The Intermediate Credit banks, the Federal Reserve banks, and many leading commercial bankers have expressed preference for the receipts. Co-operative associations which store their products with warehousemen li censed under the act obtain,a preferred receipt which gives them a wider field of credit and frequently better inter est rates. The receipt Is a definite contract be tween the depositor and the ware houseman, showing among ,other things the exact quantity of the" product In trusted to the warehouseman, Its grade, variety and condition. Any incum brances against the goods stored must be clearly shown. The federally li censed warehousemen are subject to examination prior to licensing .and are under constant government supervi sion thereafter, under a plan of super vision similar to that used by the United States Treasury department In the supervision of national banks. Pruning Should Be Done Before Big Spring Rush "Get at your pruning of fruit trees and grapevines now, before spring work begins to crowd.” This is the advice received from Oklahoma A. and M. college, written by Frank B. Cross, professor of hor ticulture. The work may be done any time In January or February, he says. Some of the pointers Professor Cross gives In pruning are: Do not leave branches pruned from trees In tfte orchard; disease - will infest the trees from the rotting branches. Apple, plum and cherry trees re quire only 4 light annual pruning to • remove crowding- branches, so that- sunlight will penetrate to the centers of the trees to ripen fruit. Peach trees, require a “rather se vere" pruning, and are not profitable when closely cut. Fruit is borne on sprouts put out last year, and a heavy growth of sprouts follows the removal of any considerable growth by prun ing. Pruning may be done after blos soms open.In pruning grapes, growth made last season should be cut to a spur bear ing two buds. Grapes should b* pruned before sap runs In February. Hardening Hotbed Plants Plants raised in hotbeds, cold frames or In boxes in the house need to be ••hardened off” before they are trans planted Into the open ground. The box may be moved from the window and set outdoors during the warmer portions of the day, while the sash on the frames should be removed wholly or in -part whenever the weather per mits, being taken oft permanently as soon as possible. This ls as soon as danger of frosts Is past. In th isman- ner the plants become thoroughly ac customed to outdoor conditions before Uiey are set In the open ground. Reasons for Cultivating The purposes of garden cultivation are to kill weeds, to allow air to reach the roots of plants and tO break u£ soil particles, releasing plant foodI to fte feeding rootlets Frequent shal- Always be cultivated as soon as it can SL safety worked after heavy rains, otherwise a crust m t.ee and the crons are taiurem Thinning Out Farm Woodlot Will Help Iii Winter Remove Dying and Defective Trees. Nearly every farm woodlot can be Improved by the removal of dead, dy ing, and defective trees, and some of the less valuable , kinds as well. This work can best be done In the winter months when other ■ work is slack. Winter is also the best season of the year In which to cut timber, since ttose species which sprout naturally from the stump will do so vigorously in the spring. -The work of chopping and handling logs likewise is much easier in winter. The way to make these cuttings Is to remove all dead and dying trees, those which are suffering from dis ease or insect attack, and trees which are crooked and defective, or may be hindering the growth of others more valuable. It should be kept in mind that the stand of trees is not opened up to such an extent that grass and weeds will grow where young trees should be growing. In other words, the “crown cover" should be kept so that about one-half shade will be provided. Nearly all species of trees will repro duce naturally without special effort, and a second'crop should be obtained without any difficulty. In the case of failure from this source, It is possible to plant young nufsery trees to take the place of those cut." How to Be Successful in Starting Berry Patches The dewberry is a sort of trailing blackberry and In order to facilitate their picking, as well as fruiting, set them ahout 3. feet apart with a single wire trellis on each side for tlie vines to trail over. This wire should -be raised about 2 feet above the ground, supported by stakes. The rows should be 5 or 6 feet apart as the plants are good “runners.” Give good cultivation until vines shade the- ground, when weeds will no longer bother them. Both the blackberry and red rasp berry are of the sprouting or “sucker” character and should be planted In rows 5 to 7 feet apart so that the suckers can grow and form a more or less matted row. The blackberries, being of coarser growth, should be wider apart than the red raspberries. Cultivate well for first two or three years, and always maintain a narrow middle between the rows to facilitate the picking. As the young canes reach a height of about 3 feet clip or pinch their tips, so as to cause the side branches to form. This will give you greater surface of fruiting wood, and lessen the tendency to whip about. After the berries are gone the bear ing canes die away, being replaced each year by the new canes from the roots. These'old canes should be cut out and removed before another sea son. A northern slope, or partially shadrtl location is an advantage to the black berry parcicularly. Liberal mulchings of straw, leaves or coarse manure about bearing canes are a great aid to prevent berries drying up during the heat of the ripening period.—L. 0. Wil liams, In Nebraska Farm Journal. Dairy Cows Must Pay for Expensive Feed Bills A dairy cow that falls to return $2.50 fob every dollar spent on her feed Is seldom worth keeping. That means she must produce 9,000 pounds of milk each year at present prices, according to an analysis of cow-testing association figures In a northwestern Ohio county. S. M. Salisbury, animal husbandry specialist at Ohio State .university, estimates that more than 20 per cent of the dairy cows of Ohio ought to be discarded because they are not returning an adequate profit above feed costs. There are many cows on other farms, also, that should be dis carded because they. are unprofitable. The use of the scales arid Babcock tester will'single them out. w m-r.u.M IinrjinnnnnTrimnnHl IW- Turnip tops make almost as good greens as mustard.

Just about everything that Is not ugly Is good style. - Al though there is so great variety in lingerie styles they all reflect, more or less, tiie present vogue for sim plicity In line and restraint in decora tion. But such adornmenls as are used are done with painstaking - care—the new lingerie is well finished. Now Is for lovely apparel designed for wear under sunny Southern skies, small wonder is it that our thoughts happily treifll springward. What thrills of something other than winter do we experience as we revel In the sight of these summery frocks, hats, wraps and knitted togs ,which stylists tune to milder climes. Not only does this fascinating sar torial display prove inspirational to the resorter, but to those who linger by the home hearthslde it brings a vital message of spring styles to be. i Sul.: FEMINIZATION o f t h e p a ja m a the time when the home seamstress forestalls the arrival of spring by re plenishing hef supply of undergar ments and when she has time to spend on them. For the very best quality of lingerie, silk and linen fabrics are about equally popular and both are made In white and In colors. Very soft.,shades' are used, with pink in the lead, but having strong rivalry from lavender, yellow, peach, pale green and turquoise. On linen garments very graceful and fine embroideries are introduced In white. Part of the outline of the embroidered motif forms the edge of the garment in place of the usual scallops. The motifs may be floral or Introduce con ventional figures or picture-book de signs. Real laces are preferred to em broidery on Whlte-UneiuganBantSi hut both are used, with Irish, cluny, val and alencon-laces foremast. What comes of the feminization of rhe pajama set is shown in the picture given here. This Is an adorable In terpretation of it made of crepe de Thus the exquisite silken sweater here pictured is to be Interpreted In a twofold role. For the sojourner at 'fashionable resort, It- Iiai immediate appeal, while to the contented stay-at- home it forecasts forthcoming spring style. . ,Gold and flame is selected for the lnterknlttlng of this sweater of pure .silk, which, being interpreted, means that the handsomest sweater types fuis coming season will feature metal threads In their stitchery. Also plaid- ed effects are foretold, these wrought In many unique and nonconventional patternings, such as this picture shows. Pastel colorings in jacquard designs present a charming spring sweater theme, where In the reversing of the knitted stitch rather ,than color con trast produces "The - pattern. ■ Light blug, misty green and lovely mauve tones are worked out In monotone, through the mdnipulatlon of the stitch Itself, Both coat styles and sllpons are / SHOWS PATRICIAN STYLING chine with trimming of black Iace in sertion used In frills and-insets. The little vestee suggestion at the front, of pin tucks, is a- characteristic of the present season. - The jacket is a slip over affair, confined at the sides -with narrow folds of the crepe instead of ribbon. There Is an amusing small' pocket at the right side,-with little chiffon roses posed on It. These re appear on the shoulders ,and at th- Ieft side of the neckline. Any of the., fash*pliable lingerie colors will ,look rfell made In this, way ,and trimmed with either' black or > cream-colored' •ace.

Favorite Colors include Castilian red; cranberry, Flemish, a powder blue! thistlebloom and the general style trend toward gray is especially mani fest in Scnitted outerwear: Border treatments are conspicuous Iy .present not only on the newest sweaters and tunics but they elaborate many a knitted three-piece ensemble.

Iowa, alleged bandit, who was killed by police officers at Mobile, was taken into custody at the local terminal station by police detec tives who had been notified by New Orleans to be on the lookout for her. Mrs. Wright, when taken to police headquarters along with her trunk and other personal effects, was found to have in her possession ?l-2,545 in currency, which she told police was part of the loot taken from the French man Street branch of .thfe Mar ne bank of New Orleans in a daring holdup a Sew days ago.

E HUS. ir BORAH PUN PRESIDENT FAVORS LIMITATION OF ARMAMENT CON- FERENCEi . Washington.—An international eco nomic an amendment conference with Germany and Russia included, such as has -been proposed by Chairman Borah, of the senate foreign relations commit tee. is not favored by President Cool- idge, who feels, that such a meeting would be too broad in scope to obtain practical results. Mr. Coolidge has not studied any draft of Senator Borah’s proposed reso lution directing the President to call| an economic and armament conference but on the basis of preliminary descrip-j tion of the resolution is inclined-to re gard it as too broad in scope to be practical The best results,from a conference to limit further competitive arma ment, the President hold, would arise from a conference of limited scope. The question of economic conditions :s too broad in its general application to be successfully considered at an in ternational meeting, the President be lieves and therefore any meeting to discuss matters of an economic nature should be made specific as to its pur pose. Mr. Coolidge and Senator Borah have not conferred on the senator’s proposal but the President believes that through such a conference ■ it w«uld be possible to frame a resolu tion acceptable to both. Tornadoes Claim Many Victims. Washington. — Tornadoes in the U nited1States during the eight years- ending with 1923 caused the loss of 1,929 lives and the destruction of more than $62,000,000 worth of property. These figures were reported in a paper prepared for the sessions of the Ameri can Meteoroicgicay Society by H. C. Hunter, of the United States Weather Bureau. Although tornadoes seem to be' in creasing as compared with earlier rec ords, particularly in the central and western portions of the cotton beit, this may be due, Mr. Hunter said, to greater accuracy in reporting.

The celebration,- however, failed to ■produce the.casualties of other years, according to' police records. WORLD’S COTTON SUPPLY LARGEST IN NINE YEARS. Washington.—The world's cotton supply this year is probably the largest in nine years, totalling ap proximately 23,300,000 bales of 479 pounds each, estimates received by the department of agriculture show. The estimates are from countries which produce about 95 per cent of the world crop and which last year produced li),300,000 bales. The five year ‘average for the pre-war per iod was 2.3,580,000 bales. The American supply, based on of ficial production figures and trade estimates of carry over cotton, is placed at 16,000,000 bales. , Consumption in the United - States for the four months ending Novem ber 30 was 1.818,000 running bales of lint cotton, compared with 2,- 054000 for the same period in 1923.

A note book taken from one of the pockets contained a confession that Wright had killed Thomas Griffin, in Des Moines, Iowa, November, 1923. Two men now serving life sentences in Iowa for the crime are as “innocent as babes,” the confession said. Rewards of $7,500' offered for the capture of Wright are expected to be paid' the men whb participated 'ii the killing. The sum of $6,500 for the capture of the man, dead or alive, was offered In connection with the New Orleans bank robbery, and. the killing of the policeman.

Washington.—Speeding along at al most . an- Uttpr.ecfeaented -legislative clip, the” house passed the treasury- ipost'office supply bill, with its $763,- 000,000 total, is the largest peace-time appropriation measure ever consider ed by Congress.'

Washington. — Throwing open the doors of the White.House to all who cared to call, President and Mrs.-Cool- idge received 4,000 visitors at their New Year’s reception. The chief executive and his wife for four hours and a half stood in the blue room, shaking-hands, with jtheir callers and extending and receiving New Year’s greetings. Beginning at 11 o’clock, the reception was scheduled to end at 2:30 but when the hour ar rived Mr. ,Coolidge directed that it be continued until all who desired had opportunity to call. The,number received was no greater than in previous years but the pTopor- tlon of the general public to the por tion classed as ..official was larger. Moreover, there ’was less formality about the affair than in the more re cent years, some of the-older White House attaches declaring it a reversal to the New Year receptions of the pre war period when Washington as a smaller city, looked more on the Presi dent and his wife as neighbors and on attendance at the reception much like a call on any of their other friends. As customary the cabinet, the dip. Iomatic corps. Congress, high ranking officers of the army and navy, and members -of patriotic organizations were received first, but this portion of the reception took only an hour. Then Mr. and Mrs. Coolldge retired for luncheon and within haK an hour be gan receiveing the general public, sev eral hundred of whom had been wait ing in line for two hours despite a cold damp day.

Paris. — The “cross-word puzzle-’ stocking is the latest craze to strike the Paris hdsifeff world. When the first, really cold days of winter came, silk stockings of gossa mer texture were gradually discarded and many women adopted very fine hand-made Angora wool stockings. This is the material of which the “cross-word : -puzzle” stockings are made. 'A shop-keeper got the idea from the puzzle design he noticed two American women interestedly work ing over while waiting to be served. A few days later he displayed in his windows a stocking .of checkerboard design with the squares in black and white about the same size -and dis tributed haphazard in the manner which has become so familiar to all lovers of cross-word puzzles in the daily papers. The novelty has found good custom ers among American . women but French women say it is hideous. The cross-word epidemic itself hay not struck France as yet. ' One Motor Car For Every Six Persons.

Hampton had told him ..the price which the horses were to bring; it was pitifully small. and Lee meant to tell her so, to tell her further that he would guarantee an enormous gain over It if she gave him time. He would be doing his part though she called him meddler for his pains. Marcia Langworthy, hidden in a big chair on the veranda, watched him ,approach with interest, though Lee was unconscious of her presence. He had lifted a hand to rap at the door when she called to him, saying: “Good evening, Mr. Mysterious Lee. Have you forgotten me?” Tliough he had pretty well forgotten her, it was not necessary to tell her that he had. He came toward her, putting cut his hand. "Good evening, Miss Langworthy,” he said cordially. “I haven’t seen much of you this time, have I? Two reasons, yon know: busy all day and half the night, for one thing, and for another, Hampton has monopolised you, hasn't he?” Marcia laughed softly. “To a man your size the second rea son is absurd. . . . Will you sit down? You see, I am taking it for granted that you come here to see me. Unless,” and her eyes twinkled brightly up at him, “you were sur reptitiously calling on Mrs. Simpson?” “I’d love to talk with you,” he as sured her. "But, as I’ve just hinted, my work here has got into the habit of running away with me into the night. I really came up for a word with Miss Sanford.” “Oh, didn’t you know?” asked Mar cia. “Judith isn't here.” “Isn’t here?” He frowned. “No, I didn’t know. I haven't seen much of her lately and didn’t know her plans. Where is she?” "In San Francisco. Her lawyers sent for her, you know. Something aoout a tangle in her father’s busi ness. Funny you hadn’t heard; she left Saturday, night.” Saturday? This was Tuesday eve ning. Judith had been away three full days. Lee, thinking hurriedly, thought that he saw now the expla nation of Judith’s ordering a sale like this. Her lawyers had found what Marcia called a “tangle” in Luke San ford’s affairs; there had been an in sistent call for a large sum of money to straighten it out, and Judith hau accepted the only solution. Still, it didn’t seem like Judith to sell like this at a figure so ridiculous ly low. Doan, Rockwell & Haight were not the only buyers on the coast; Lee himself could get more for the horses if he had two days’ time to look around; the cattle were worth a great deal more than they were being sold for, even with the market down. “Did she have an idea what the trouble was before she left?” he asked finally. . “Why,” said Marcia, “I don’t know. You see, she slipped out late Saturday night after we’d all gone to bed. There Was a message for her over the telephone; she got up, dressed, sad dled her own horse and rode into Rocky Bend alone, just leaving a note for me that she might be gone a week or two.” ' ' Just why he experienced a sense of uneasiness even then, Lee did. not know. It was like Judith to act swiftly when need be; to go alone and on the spur of the minute to catch her train; to slip out quietly without disturbing her guest. "You have heard from her sihce?” he demanded abruptly. "Not a word,” said Marcia. “She doesn’t like letter writing and so I haven’t expected to hear from her, Lee chatted with her for a moment, then claiming work still to be done, turned to go back down the knoll. A' new thought upon him, he once more came to Marcia’s side. “I expect I’d better see Hampton;” he said. "Do you know where he is?” “Where he Has been every night since Judith left,” laughed Marcia. "He’s old Mr. Business Man these days. In the office.” There Lee found him. Hampton, his hair ruffled, Judith’s table littered with market reports, and many sheets of paper covered with untidy figures, looked up at Lee’s entrance. . “Hello, Bud," he said, reaching for cigarette and match. “Got everything ready for tomorrow?” “Why didn’t you tell me Miss San ford had gone away?” was Lee’s sharp ,rejoinder.. Hampton flushed. “Devil take those two eyes of yours, Bud,” he said testily. "They've got a way of boring through a man'until he feels like they were scorching the fur niture behind him. Well, I’ll tell you. While Judith Is away I am running this outfit. And if the men think' I’m coming straight from her with an or der they obey it. If they get.the no tion she isn't here, they’re apt to ask questions. Tha‘-*» why.” tlThis sale ti Doan, Rockwell & Haight,” said Lee’ quickly. “You didn’t' cook that up, did you Hamp ton ?” “Lora, hot" cried Hampton. From Its place on a file he took a-yellow slip By JACKSON GREGORY Coprright by Chorloa Scribner's Sonr- of paper, tossing it to Lee. “She sent me that this morning.” It was a Western Union telegram, saying briefly: “Pollock Hampton, “Blue Lake Ranch. “Am forced to sell heavily. Send ing Doan, Rockwell & Haight Wednes day morning, one hundred horses; as many beef cattle as Carson can round up. Accept terms made In their letter to you last week. “JUDITH SANFORD.” Tbe date line upon the message gave the sending point as San Fran cisco. “They wrote you a letter offering to buy?” said Lee thoughtfully, his eyes rising slowly from the paper in his fingers. “How’d it happen they didn’t write to her?” “Well, it’s a natural enough mis take, isn’t it? Knowing that she and I were both part-owners, knowing that we were both here, isn’t it quite to be expected that they would write to the man instead of to the woman? Of course I gave her the letter as soon as I had opened It.” “Of course,” answered .Lee. But his thoughts were -not with his answer. They were with Bayne Tre vors. He knew that Trevors had long ago sold to these people; lie knew, too, that at least two of the heavy share holders in the Western Lumber com pany were interested In Doan, Rock well & Haight. Tom Rockwell him self was second vice president of the lumber company. “Have you had any other word from Miss Sanford?” he asked. “No.” “Know who her lawyers are?” “No. I. don’t.” -..v- "Anything In her papers here that would tell us?” “No. Her papers are In the safe yonder and i.it’s locked and I don’t know the combination.” “Know what hotel she is stopping at In the city?” “No. Look here. Bud; what are you driving at? I don’t get you.” "No?” answered Lee absently. What Bud Lee was thinking was: “Here are too many coincidences I” Little things, each one in Itself safe froqi suspicion. Rut when he medi tated that the offer had come, from this particular firm, that it had come just a few days before Judith’s first departure from the ,ranch, that.it had been addressed not to her but-to Hamp ton; so that he must have the oppor tunity to read it, that she had been called suddenly to the city, that that call had come after the house was quiet; its occupants in bed, that no letter had come since she had left, that no one knew where to reach tier —when he passed all of these things in review , the bitterness In his heart died under them and the first anxiety sprang up anew, grown almost into fear for her. "There’s, just one thing, Hampton,” he said, his eyes hard on the boy’s face. "We don’t sell a single hoof in the morning. Not a cow nor a horse until Judith is here herself.” Hampton, new in his role of general manager, flushed hotly, his own eyes showing fight. “I like you, Lee,” he said sharply, his tone that of master to man. “And I don’t want us to quarrel. But Ju dith wired me to sell, I’ve wired the buyers an acceptance add we do sell in the morning!” For a full minute. Bud Lee stood stone still, ,staring into Hampton’s face. Then, 'tossing the telegram to the table, he turned and went out. His face had gone suddenly white. “They’ve got you somehow, Judith girl,” he whispered through tense lips. “But the fight is still to be made. Andf by God, there’s a day of squaring ac counts coming for a man named Bayne Trevors!” He went to the bunk-house, neither seeing Marcia nor hearing her when she called after him, and with a word to Carson brought the Irate cattle'fore man hurriedly outside. CHAPTER XUl A Signal-Fire? Bayne Trevors’ way had ever been to play safe,'the way of a coward or a wise man. Bven now; no doubt he was giving an account of himself In legitimate endeavor at the lumber camp, putting in his appearance at his regular hour; safe miles lying be tween him and that w’hieh might oc cur upon the Blue Lake ranch, estab lishing alibis, conducting himself like the man he wished the world to think him. But In the mind of Bud Lee there was no question; no doubt, Bayne Trevors, or one of Bayne Tre vors’ ghng, was even at this instant holding Judith somewhere until this colossal. deal copld be put ,over. Tre vors or one of his gang—and Lee’s face went whiter, his hands shut tight er into hard fists, as there came to his mind the picture of Qulnnion’s twist ed face and evil,. red-rimmed 'eyes; “Well?” snapped . Carson. “What now?” “There’s going to be no sale In the morning,” said- Lee and at the new strange tone in Lee’s voice- Carson jerked up his head, thrusting it for ward, peering at die other through the moonlit night. “Say it agalp,” muttered Carson. “Who aald so? Mlss Judith?” \ "She isn't here,” replied Lee briefly. “Hasn’t been her since Saturday night.” Now, wtih more cause''than ever, did Carson stare at him. “Then what did Pollock Hampton say sell for? By cripes, if this is one of that young hop-o’-my-thumb’s jokes, I’m going up to the house an’ murder him. That’s all. An’ right now.” Lee laid a hand on Carson’s' arm. “Hold on, old-timer,” he said short ly. "We'll have a talk. with, him after a while. , Now I want to talk with you.” Contenting himself with the coldest of brief outlines, Bud Lee told Carson of Judith’s absence and. of his own suspicions. Carson, who hud listened to him gravely, at the end shook his head. “That’s a pretty bald play, Bud,” he said slowly. “I don’t believe Trevors would get that coarse in his work. It doesn't look like him a little bit.” “Does this sale look the least little bit like Judith?” demanded Lee sharp ly. “Is it her style to go over our heads this way, Carson? If she’s got to sell heavily, why pick out this par ticular set of buyers? Why is the deal rushed through while she’s away? I tell you there’s a nigger in the wood pile and it’s up to you and me to smoke Iiim out. Come up to the house with me.” Marcia did not see them as they drew near in the moonlight. For, with a plan shaping in his brain, Lee judged best that they'should not be seen. He and Carson passed In a wide arc about the left end of the court yard, around the end of the house and so to a do or opening from the office to the back of the house. This door he found unlocked and pushed quietly open. Hampton lifted swift eyes, sensing something stern, and ominous in this silent approach, “We want to talk things over with you,” began Lee. "If you’re come to bulldoze me out of that deal in the morning,” retorted Hampton, “you might as well keep still. I’m going to sell.” "I don’t know that you’d exactly call it bulldozing,” smiled Lee, deter mined to be pleasant with the young fellow as long as possible. “But you’ve got sense enough to listen to reason, Hampton.” “Have I?” jeered Pollock. “Thanks.” "If Miss Sanford wants the deal to go through,” continued Lee, “why, then, of course, through it goes. If she doesn’t, there’s going to be no sale.” “I tell you she wired me to sell; I shoiyed you the telegram—” “But you didn’t prove to me that she sent it. You didn’t know yourself whether it had been sent by her or Doan, Rockwell & Haight, or by Bayne Trevors or the devil himself.” He took up the telephone and said into it, “Western Union, Rocky* Bend. . . . That you, Benton? This is Lee of the Blue Lake. We went to get in communication with Miss Judith Sanford, somewhere in San. Francisco. Send this message to every hotel there, will you? And Bud Lee Stood—Staring Into Hamp ton’s Face. rush it: ‘Must have word with you immediately. Important.- Telephone.’' Got it? Oh1 sign it, Carson and—and Tripp. Rush it, I tell you, Benton. And if you get In touch with Miss, Sanford in any way, tip us off . here, wilt you?- Thanks.” “She might be visiting with friends,” muttered Hamilton, little pjeased at the thought that Lee and Carson were seeking to rob him of his newly ac quired importance.' “Where’s Mrs. Simpson?” asked Lee. “Gone to bed,” answered Hampton. “And Miss Langworthy is still on the veranda. Now Hampton, Carson and I want a look at Miss Sanford’s room. Come with us. 'irill you?” ‘Tm d—d if I will!” cried the boy hotly. “I don’t know what you are up to, but Tm boss here and I’m giv ing orders, not taking them. If there’s any'reason I n all this,; I’ve got the right to know what it is.” "YeB,” answered Lee thoughtfully, “You’ve got the right. I just don’t like the looks of affairs, Hampton. I don’t believe all that I hear. I don't believe Miss Sanford sent that wire. I don’t believe she is In San iYancisco. I do .believe that your friend Trevore has got hold of her somehow, and that he Is playing you for a sucker. That’s our reason in this. Now will you come with us to her room?” “ Trevors?” said Hampton. Then he laughed. “You are like the rest, Bud. Trevors is a gentleman, and you try to make him a crook. Such a scheme as you imagine is absurd and ridiculous. And I won’t go prying with you into Judith’s room.” “Come on, Carson,” said Lea "If Hampton wants to stay here,' let him.’’ But the young fellow was on his feet, his face flushed, his eyes excited. “You’ll get out of this hoiise and do it quick!” he cried sharply. “If you think for one little minute that i’ll stand for your high-handed ac tions, you’re mistaken.” At a look from Lee, Carson stepped quickly forward, so that Hampton stood between them. “You come with us,” and now Lee no longer sought to be pleasant. “And keep still or we'll stop your mouth with a yard of doth. This way, Carson.” With right and left arms gripped, with iagging feet and furious eyes, Hampton went between them to the door. For an instant only did he struggle; then, with a snort of dis gust, seeing the futility of making a fool of himself, he went quietly. Just what he expected as. a result of a visit to the girl’s room, Lee did not know. He hoped for some sign to tell Iiim something, anything. Quietly the three went through the house, until they came to Judith’s dainty blueamd-wliite bedroom. Here all had been set in order by Mrs. Simpson. On entering the room a sort of awkward shyness fell over both Lee and Carson. Hampton, freed now and standing alone, though under Carson’s hard eye, stared at them angrily. “When you get through with this foolishness,” he told them stiffly, “you can either apologize or call for your time.” Neither answered, Carson little by little had come to share Lee’s uncer tainty and anxiety; and now, like Lee, sought eagerly to find a sign— something to tell that Judith had been lured away by Trevors or Quinnion; or that she had been overpowered here and taken out, perhaps through a window. . But Judith had gone Saturday night, and Mrs. Simpson had done her work thoroughly. It might be well to call the housekeeper and question her. Had she found a chair over turned, a rug rumpled, a table shoved a little from its accustomed place? But, again, it would be as well not to start suspicion and surmise in other minds if, after ail, there were no true cause for it. Judith might be in San Francisco; she might have sent the order to sell. “Chances is we’re smelling powder where there wasn’t no shot,” said Carson hesitatingly. “Bright boy!” mocked Hampton. “You'll make a great little gumshoe artist one of these days.” Had Bud Lee not 'loved Judith as he did, with his whole heart and soul, it well might have been that he am’ Carson and Hampton would have gone out of- the room knowing no more than when they had come in. But it seemed to Lee that the room which knew Judith so intimately, was seek ing to open its dumb lips to whisper to him of danger to her. He had come here troubled for her; he stood, look ing about him frowningly,. his heart heavy, fear mounting within him. And at length he found a sign. At the far end of the room, In a corner, was Judith’s writing-table, on which were several opened letters, pen and ink, a pad of paper; Lee stepped to it. If she had been lured' away after nightfall, then some message had come to her. If that message had come by word of mouth, there was no need seeking it; if it had been a note, fate might have kept It here. Impaled on a sharp file was a sheet ,of notepaper. The notes was brief, typewritten, even to the signature— that of Doc Tripp. It ran: “Dear Judith:. “I am afraid of a new trouble. Have spotted another one of T’s gang work ing for us. Also have got a bullet- hole In my right-hand. Nothing ser ious so far. Come down right away. Don’t let any one see you as I want to springy a surprise on them. Am not even using the telephone, as I’ve a notion they are watching me. Hurry. "Tripp.” ‘‘Come back to the office,” said Lee bluntly. And well in front of Car son- and Hampton, who- stared won- derlngly at the paper In his hand, he went to the offipe telephone and called for Tripp. “How’s your hand?” he asked when Tripp answered. “AU right,” replied Tripp.. “Why?” “Get it hurt?” “No.” “Did you write Miss Sanford a hurry-up note within the last. few days?” . ' ’ “No.” “Sure of that, Doc? Typewritten note?”, 1 “Of course I’m sure,” snapped Tripp. “What’s wrong?” "God knows,” answered Lee short ly. “But you’d better come up here and come on the jump. Also, keep your mouth shut until,'you get a chance to talk with me or Carson.” . He clicked up the receiver and turned terrible eyes on the two men watching him. ‘‘They’ve got her,” he said slowly. ‘They’ve got. her, Carson. They’ve had her since Saturday night I” - Carson read the note. Only then did it pass Into Hampton’s hands. The boy,: angered at the way In which he had been ignored, Insulted in his sense of dignity by those .words if Lee’s tii Tripp, "Talk' with me or Carson,’! see-' ing the rpins of power being snatched from his bands, was speechless with wrath. . “You fellows have butted In all I’ll stanii for!” he cried at them, bis shut fists shaking. “I tell you Tm running this outfit and what I say goes, don’t believe that Trevors or any man living, would do a trick Uke that. I tell you it’s ridiculohs. And, no mat ter where Judith Is, when she is not here I run the ranch. I need money; she needs money; we've got a fair chance to sell; I’ve passed my word we are going to sell; and by G—d, we are going to sell.” In another mood, Hampton would not have spoken this way. In another mood and with time for argument, Bud Lee would have expostulated with him. Now, however, Lee said tersely: "Carson, It’s up to you and me. Get the boys out, to the last man of them, Turn every hoof of cattle and horses back into the Upper End. We've gol m I Bud Lee Was on Him, Throwing Him Back. to do it tonight. Get them Into the little valley above the plateau.' We can hold them there, even if' they try to force our hands, which will be like them. I take this to be Trevors’ last big play. And, by thunder, h e . has mighty near gotten away with it I” “Don’t you dure do It!” blazed out young Hampton. “Carson, you take orders from me. Get out of this house and leave the stock where, they are. In the; morning—” . “Go: ahead, Carson,” cut in - Lee’s hard voice. ‘TH take care of Hamp ton here,”. “You will, will yon?” cried Hamp ton. . With one bound he was at the table, jerking open a drawer. As his hand sought the weapon lying there, Bud Lee was on him, throwing him back; Carson looked at them a moment, then went to the door. "You’re, right Bud,” he said calmly as lie went out. Lee, forcing himself to show-a'Calm ness like Carson’s, said, gently to Hampton: “Can’t you .see the play? It’s iip to you to kick In and stop it. There’s a telephone; cnll up the buyers In Rocky Bend. They’re there now, or at least their drivers are, if they’re com ing out here In the morning. Tell them the . deal is off—” “Can’t I see?” said Hampton, writh ing out of Lee's hands, on Ills way to the door. "You bet I can see I E you and Carson think that you can run me—” Then, for good and all, Lee gave over trying to reason with Hampton. There was too much to be done to waste time. He drew Hampton back, forcing him against the wall. As he tried to call out,. Lee’s hand , over, his mouth smothered his words. “You’re coining with ine,” he said sharply. “Right now.” Though he struggled, Hampton was little more than a baby in ,the horse foreman’s muscular, grip. Tripped, with a heel behind his calf, be fell heavily, Lee upon him. Both arms were pinioned behind hjra, and Lee’s neckerchief thrust .into his mouth. He writhed In Impotent rage. His outcries died In his throat, the loud est of them not reaching Marcia’s ears above the creaking of her rocking- chair. Lee still held Hampton’s tied hands gripped in his own. * So the two inen went out the back doer, down toward the corrals. . Seeing men hurrying from the bunk- house to the stables under Carson’s snapping orders, Lee called out for Tommy Bnrkltt, And In a moment, with bulging eyes, Burkitt came run ning. ‘Britfg out three horses, Tommy,’ Lee commanded, giving no explana tlon. "Hurry,' and keep your inoutt Shut" ; Burkltt obeyed Lee as lye always did, silently and uhquestionlngly. Very soon he returned, riding, leading two saddled horshs. “Get into the saddle, Hampton,'' said Lee sternly. 'There’s ho time for nonsense. Get up or I’ll put yof up.” . . ' ' (TO BE ,CONTINUED.)

C. jANFARV 7, 1925 Leopard Stone Is Fonnd In Dane. Thomasville, Dec. 20—H earing of a thing or place is quite differ ent from seeing that thing or place with one’s own- seeing appliances, w hether it be by one’s own natural vision, or by microscopic, or even telescopic view, as was clearly de m onstrated an evening recently in t-he experience of a num ber of Thomasville citizens, including the correspondent of tbis paper, when a motor trip was made to Fork Church and out about a mile to the Pjeter H airston farm, where is lo cated what m ight be termed one of the geological wonders of the world called, in geological terms, “ orbi cular gabbro diorite,” the only known deposit of the kind in the whole world. These term s are said to mean in common language, “ round, green spots” and really there are in orderly fashion round green spots thru the imbedded stone as well as iu the outstanding boulders over the hills. Thestoue has been therefore named the Ieop ard stone. A strong company has been form ed with headquarters at Salisbury to operate the quarry under the name of the American Ltopard Stone Corporation and is said that the supply is sufficient to keep an arm y of hands employed for fifty, years and possibly for five times that length of time, as, the ctirvey of the grounds from the 15 to 25 acres. Some specimens have been quarried and polished, some round and some square, all showing the possibilities of the stone in_jts de corative aspects in othsr uses. Specimens have come under the observation of geolo_kts of the first rank and they declare that the stone is the most wonderful that has yet been discovered. Chicago architects have been at tracted by the textile, as well as the unique m arks of the sione, stating that they want to know when the rime comes that a large quantity can be obtained Preparations are being made for placing machinery at the quarry and the plan is to g.-t things in operation early in the new vear. Bixbv, a littlestation on the Soutu ern, between Advance and Mocks-' ville, will be the main shipping point. Trucks will be used for conveying m aterials to and fro.n the station. Strange Oath For Texas Governor Mrs Marium Ferguson will have take a strange oath before she be comes governor of the great State of Texas npxt March If she has fought k’riuel or even challenged a \y one to flirht a duel, she will be barred from taking up the'reigns of gover norship. Doubtless she has fought many a wordy duel with. Jim , her impeached husband, but this doesn’ coun’t neither do words that she has had over the backyard fence with her neighbors about the de predations of the chickens, the bark ing of the dog or the misunderstand ing ojf the children count in the du eling statute. ' Theancientconstitution of Texas provides, among other things, that the governor elect must make the following oath before the chief just ice of the Supreme court: \ . ‘‘I, Miriam A. Ferguson, do solemnly swear that I am will faith fully and impartially discharge and perform all duties incumbent upon me as governor of the State of Texas accordingly to the Constitution^ and laws of the United States and of this State, and I do further solemnly swear that since the adoption of the constitution of this State, I have hot fough . a duel with deadly weapons, without this State or out of Ui 'nor have Lacted as second in carrying a challenge or aided, advised or assist ed ar-v person thus offending.” -.* MaV' must also do some solemn concerning the conduct of her cam paign. She must look the chief justice i i the eye and, say:!. "A id I have not, directly or indirectly, pajd, offered or promised to pay, contri buted. norpromiserl to contribute^ any money or valuable thing, or pro mised any public office or employ m ent. as a reward for the giving or withholding a vote at tre election which I was elected.

A few mis guided advertisers thought they could sell their goods better by m isrepresenting them. Those ad vertisers have long since gone out of business or changed their ways. Hard experience has taught that untruthful advertising does tiot pay.

Out representatives who - are busy in Raleigh saving the state will have to make out on two meals a day and sleep double without they have some surplus c,.sh on hand or can borrow some front their friends. It is a disgrace to ask a man to serve in the legislature at the present salary of $4 per. day. So far as we can learn Davie county produced more cotton last year than ever before. Tbe wise farm er is the one who put out a good wheat crop last fall. Itlooks now as if wheat would go to $2.50 per bushel this spring. W ith a big cotton crop next fall tne price will naturally be much lower than it is now. T he Record is. proud of the honor roll it carried last week.. -On this roll were the names of one hund red and eleven subscribers who had renewed their subscriptions during the holidays W e trtist that all who are due us anything will send or bring us their renewal this week as OUf new books will be made out n e x t week. Our great body of lawmakers are busy in Raleigh m anufacturing various ,and suudrv laws. This- state already-has more laws than all of the officers can enforce. It would be a good idea if the solons would repeal two old laws every time they pass a new one. W e are hoping that" the present legislature will issue enough road bonds so th at Davie county can get the highway on route'75 hard surfaced from Mocksyille.to Statesville. •The; is a large sign board nearly across the street from The Record, office which bears this inscription: ‘ ‘ Loy alty to o u r city Costs nothing and yields vast returns. ’ ’ Did you ever stop to think about this tnatter?

W e have several hundred good Democratic • friends who are still taking our paper de spite the fact that at least two gentlemen went out among the people and asked them to have their subscrptions stopped. We wonder if these gentlemen asked all the Republicans in Davie coun ty to quit trading with Democrrtic uierchauts? W e trust that they did not do this. $100,-Judge Hartman left Over OOO Estate.

Cotton Tfade Shows Strength. New Orleans.—Although the week just passed in cotton was more or less affected by the last of the Christmas holidays, trading on the whole broad ened somewhat. In the early part of the week a good demand, speculative as well as from the trade, developed in the contract market and prices were advanced steadily until the Janu ary position approached within 16 points of the 25 cent mark. This advance was due partly to the prompt absorption by large spot in terests'of the heavy tenders on Janu ary contracts- made in the local mar ket at the end of the'y^ek. It was. argued that spot interests would not have been so ready'to receive on con tracts-such large quantities of cotton unless they felt confident that there would be a good demand for it after it had served the purpose'of liquidating contracts.. Another stimulant to contract prices early the week’was the good demand for spqt cotton in virtually all the Southern markets. • This demand came partly from ex porters, who still had December com mitments to fill! and partly from do mestic mills.

CHAPTER XIV o r BLUE LAKE RANCH I Dy-^JACKSON GREGtiRX C H A P T E R X III— C ontinued - *—15 — “Curse you,” . Hampton said In •mothered anger, his tone making clear the meaning of the indistinct mutter. But he climbed into the sad dle. "Come on, Tommy.” Lee, too, was np,. his hand on Hampton's reins. “We’re going up to the old cabin.. ' Tou’re going to ride herd on Hamp ton while I do something else. I’ll tell you everything when we get there. So they rode into the night, heacT- e& toward the narrow passes of the Upper End, Hampton and Lee side by side, Tommy Burkitt staring after them as he followed. No longer were Bud Lee’s thoughts with his captive, nor wlfli the herds Carson’s men were driving back to the Iiiglier pastures. They were entirely for Judith, and they -were filled with fear. She bad been gone for three full days; she was somewhere in the clutch of Trev ors or of one of his cutthroats. He thought of her, of Qalnnion’s red- , rimmed, evil eyes, and as he bad not prayed in ail the years of his life Bud Lee prayed that night. He left Hampton securely bound and under Tommy Burkitt’s watchful eyes in the old cabin, and rode straight back to the ranch-house. Marcia was not yet in bed and he made his first , call upon her. Marcia was delighted, then vaguely perturbed as he made known his errand without giving any reason. He wanted to see t . the note from Judith. Marcia brought it, ‘ wondering. He carried it with him to Judith’s office and compared it carefully with scraps of her hand writing which he found there. The result of bis' study was what he had expected: the writing of the note to Marcia was sufficiently like Judith’s to pass muster to an uncritical eye, looking, In fact,w hat it purported to be, a very hasty scrawl. But Lee de cided thet Judith had not written it. He slipped it into his pocket. Tripp was waiting for him, impa tient and worried, when lie came back from the Upper End. From Tripp he learned that one of the men, a fellow the boys called Yellow-jacket, Iiad unexpectedly asked for Ids time Saturday afternoon and had left the ranch, saying that lie was sick. “He’s the chap who brought the fake note from you,’1 said Lee. "It’s open and shut. Doc. Another one of Trevor’s men that we ought to have fired long ago. The one tiling I can’t get, is why he didn't do a finished job _ of it and bang around until Miss San ford left, then get away with the note. It would have left no evidence behind him.!' “She must have locked her door and windows when she went out,” was Tripp’s solution. “And probably lie didn’t hang around wasting time and taking chances.” Tripp’s boyish face had.lost its youthful look. His eyes, meeting Lee's steadily, had in them an expres sion like Lee’s. .‘‘If - it’s Quinnion—” Tripp began. Then he stopped abruptly. Lee and Tripp were together in the office not above fifteen minutes. Then Tripp left to return to the Lower End. to get the rest of the men out, to help In the big drive of cattle and horses which must be returned to the shut-in valleys of the Upper End-. . Lee went to the bunk-house, slipped revolver and cartridges into bis pock ets, took a rifle and rode agalo to the old, cabin.. , “It’s Trevors’ big, last play?’ be told himself gravely, over and over, “He.’ll be backing it up strong; play ing his harrd for all that there's in it. and lie'll have taken time and cere to fill in ills hand so that we're buck ing a royal flush.

COPYRIGHT BV**** CHARLES SCBIBNERlSS and glorious red in the eastern sky, and Bud Lee, throwing down his colled rope which had been put into service a dozen times during the night, said shortly: "Here we'camp, boys. I’ll leave you my fried bacon, Tommy, and take the raw with me. You're not even to light a fire. And you’re to stick here until I come for you.” They had traveled deeper and deep er into the fastnesses of the moun tains, mounting "liigher and higher -un- til now, in a nest of crags, and cliffs, on a flank of Devil’s mountain, they could look far to the westward and catch brief glimpses of the river from Blue lake slipping out of the shadows. They bad gone a way which Lee knew intimately, traveling a trail which brought them again and again under broken cliffs, where they must use hands and feet manfully, and now and then make service of a ^Ioop of rope cast up over an outjutting crag. "They’ll never follow us here, Tommy,” he said confidently. “If they do, you’ve got the drop on them and you’ve got a rifle. You know what to do. Tommy, old man.” “I know, Bud,” said Tommy, his eyes shining. For never before had Bud Lee called him that—“old man." Long ago the gag had been removed from Hampton's mouth. Long ago, consequently, Hampton had said his say, had made his promises. When' he got out of this—glory to be! wouldn’t he square the deal, though? Did Lee know what kidnaping, was? That there were such things as laws, such places as prisons? “Here,” said Lee not unkindly, “I’ll loosen the rope about your wrists. That’s all the chances we’re going to take with yqp. Come, be a sport, my boy. You’re the right sort in side; just as soon as this fracas.is ever, when you know that we were right: and that ail this is a put-up job on you, your friend Trevors playing you for a sucker and getting ldiss Sanford out of the way, you’ll say we were right and I know it.” "That so?” snapped Hampton. "You just start now and keep going, Bud L(*e, -if you don’t Want to do time In the jug.” ' •Tommy Burkitt, staring back across the broken miles of mountain, canyon, and forest, his eyes frowning, was muttering: “Look at that. Bud. What do you make of it?” . For a little Lee did not answer. He and TOmmy and Hampton, standing among the rocks, turned their eyes together toward the hills rimming In the northern side of Blue Lake rancli. “I make out,” said Lee slowly, “that Trevors means business and that Car son has got his work cut out for him this morning. Tommy.” For the thing which had caught the boy’s eyes was a blaze on the ridge, its flames leaping and licking at the thinning darkness, its smoke a black smudge-on the horizon, staining the glow of tlie dawn. And farther along the same ridge was a second blaze, smaller with distance, but growing as it licked at the dry brush. Still farther a third. “If that fire ever gets a good start;” muttered Lee heavily, “it’s going to sweep ,the ranch. God knows where it will stop. And just hoiy jCarson is going to fight fire ivith OneTiand and hold Iiis sfbck with'the other, I don’t know.” > But even then lie turned his eyes away from the ranch’, sweeping the ragged jumble of Tnounlains about him. Sudith was gone. Judith needed him and' he did not dire try to esti-. mate the soreness of her need. Whnt did it matter that Carson and Tripp and the rest had their problems to face back there? There was* only, one thing in all of the wide world that mattered. Arid he did not even know where she was, north, south, east,, or wesf! Somewhere in these moun tains, no doubt. But where, when a man might , ride a hundred miles .this .way or that and have no sign if he passed within calling distance of her? In Iiis heart Bud Lee prayed, as he had prayed last night, asking God that he might come to Judith. And it seemed, to him, standing close to God on the rocky heights, that his prayer had oeeri heard and answered. For, far off to the east, still farther, in (lie S-AitucTe of the mountains, ris ing from a rugged peak' a thin line of Smoke rose into the paling sky. ’ I*, 'might be that Judith -was there. It might be that she was scores of miles from the beckoning smoke.' But Lee had asked- a sign and there, like a slender linger pointing to the bright ening, sky, was a sign. ■ He stooped swiftly for rifle and rope -end packet of bacon. . "Where you goin’, Bud?” asked Tommy. „’ “To Judith,” answered Bud Lee gently. For In hls heart was that faith which Is bom of love. The Toolt Which Treport Used To Judith life had* changed from a pleasant game in the sunshine to a liideous nightmare. In a few drag ging hours she had come to know in credulity, anxiety, misery, dejection, black hopelessness, and icy terror. She had come to look through a roan’s eyes at that which lay In his heart, .to feel for the first time in her fear less life that the fortitude was slip ping out of her bosom, that the strength was melting In her. She lay on a rude bed of flr-boughs,. an utter, impenetrable blackness like a palpable weight on her eyeballs.! When It Was silent about her, arid for the most part silence reigned with the oppressive gloom, she yearned so for a little sound that she moved her foot along the rock floor under her or snapped a dry twig between her fingers or even listened eagerly for the coming of the terrible woman who was her jailer. Gropingly, again and again she went over in her thoughts the long journey here, seeking fruitlessly to know whether she had come north, south, or east from the ranch-house. It was one of these three directions, for there were no such mountains as these to the West, no such monster cliffs, no deep cavern reaching into the bowels of the earth. The sense that, even were she freed, she had no slightest idea where she was, which way she must go, stunned her. "Will I go mad after.a while'?” -she wondered miserably. “Am I already going mad? Oh, God. have mercy on me—” From the instant when, Saturday night, she had been gripped suddenly In a man’s strong arms, when another man bad smothered her outcry, she had known in her beart that Bayne Trevors was taking his desperate chance In the game. But In! the dark ness she had had only the two vague blurs of their bodies to guess at. They had been masked; her own eyes were covered, a bandage brought tightly over them,' her mouth gagged, her hands tied behind her, her body lifted into the saddle—all in a moment Neither man had spoken. Then, tied in the saddle, she only knew that she was riding, that one man rode in front of her, leading her horse, the other following close behind. The Her Eyes Were Covered Tightly. sense of.direction which she had lost in those first, five minutes she had never been given opportunity to re gain. She might, even now, be a gun shot from her own ranch; she might be twenty miles from it. For the greater part of that Sat urday night they Iiad ridden; and when trails died under them and rocks rose steeply, they walked, she and one man. The mther stayed with the horses. Not once did she, hear a man’s voice; she did not know wheth er it was Trevoi-s himself, or Quin- nion, or some utter stranger who forced her into this hiding.’ They had climbed cliffs, now: going down irito chasms, now following roar ing creeks or making their way along the spine of some rock ridge. The one man’ with her was masked, Iiis eyes rather guessed at than,. seen through the silts of his bandanna handkerchief. He bad jerked the band age from her eyes, since blindfolded she would make such poor; progress. But still he guarded his tongue. “He would, speak,” she thought, “but that I would recognize His voice., Trev ors or Quinnlon? - Which?” Feeling the first quick spurt of hope when she saw that there was but one man to deal with, she was aquiver to seize the first opportunity for flight.- But that hope died ..Swiftjy as she recognized that no such • opportunity was to be granted her, Once' she paused, looking to a possible leap over a low .ledge'and escape in a thick bit o f timber. But ;the two eyes, through the slits in- .the impro vised mask had. beep keen and quick, a heavy hand was laid on her arm, she felt tlie fingers bite into her flesh as he sought’ to drive into her a full comprehension of his grim determina tion that she .should not escape. It was when : they Jiad. clambered liigh upon a mftsst oLtumbled boulders, topping a ridge, that Judltli had seeti the roan’s face; Docilely she had obeyed his gestures for an hour; now. suddenly maddened at the silence and the-mask over his face, she sprang'un- expectedly ,upon him, shoving Ium from -the rock on which he hud stepped, snatching off his mask as she did so. For the first time she heard his voice, cursing her coolly as he gripped, and held her. It was Bayne Trevors, at last come out into the open, his eyes hard on hers. “It’s just as well that you know whom you are up against,’’ he said as he held .her witii his hand heavy on her shrinking shoulder. Summoning all of the reckless fear lessness which was her birthright, she laughed at him coolly, laughed as the two stood against the sky-line, upon the barren breast of a lonesome land. “So you are a fool, after all, Bayne Trevors!” she jeered at him. “Fool enough to. mix first-hand In a danger- 'oiis' undertaking.” ’; Trevors shrugged. “Yes?” He slipped the handker chief into bis pocket and stared at her with a glint of anger in the blue- gray of his eyes. He lifted his: broad shoulders. “Or wise man enough to do my own work when needs be, and when Td have no bungling? I’m go ing to square with "you, girl. Square with you for meddling, for a bullet- hoie In each shoulder. If there’s a fool in our little junketing party, it's a girl who thought she could handle a man’s-size job." They went on, over the ridge jmd dojvn. Juditlrmade no second attempt to surprise him, for always his eyes watched her. Nor did she seek to hold back or in any way to hamper him now. .For, swiftly adjusting her self tofthe new conditions, she made her. first decision:, Trevors did think- her a "fool of a'glrl," Trevors did sneer at her heiples.sn.ess in that'mnn’s, way .of his. Let . him think her a little fool; let him hold her in his eontempt; let him grow to think her cowed-and afraid and helpless. Then, when the time came— Again she had been blindfolded; seeing the look in Trevors’ eyes, she had offered no objection. Again she had followed him in a darkness made at sunrise by a bandage across her eyes. Again, the bandage removed, she winked at the sunlight. Again they climbed ridges, dropped ' down into tiny valleys, fought, their way along thunderous ravines 'where the water was lashed into white foam. Again blindfolded, again trudging on, her whole body beginning to tremble’ with fatigue, the weakness ,of hunger upon her. And' at length, \outfof a; .canyon,, making a perilous way tip .the steep' ivalls of rock, they came to the mouth of the black cavern in which she lay now, waiting for the sound of a stirring foot. Only an instant had Judith stood upon the ledge outside-tlie cave before she was thrust into the black interior. But in that instant her eager eyes had made out, upon a tiny bit of table land across. the chasm of the gorge, a cabin, sending aloft a, plume of. smoke. Then,-after an hour, the terrible woman had come to whom Trevors had intrusted her, bringing food and wafer in her hard, blackened hands, carrying the flickering fires of mad ness in her unfathomable eyes. A lantern set on the floor made rude shadows, and out of them crept this woman, leering at Trevors, peering at Judith, licking her thin lips, and chuckling to herself. “I have brought her back to you, Ruth,” he sa^d, speaking softly, more softly than Judith had thought the man could speak. “You will know what to do with her. And you will not let her escape you again.” The mad woman, for only too plain ly was her reason strangely mis- shapfetf, stood.; in silence, her great muscular body looming; high above Judith's, a giant, of . a ,woman, bigger than Trevors even, broad ,and heavy, her forearms thick and corded, her bare throat like the bull neck of a prize-fighter. “I will knoiv, I will know,” she said, her eyes filled with cunning, her voice a strange singsong oddly at variance with the coarse, bigness of her body. ■ “Oh; no, she will never escape from me again.” “I will have a man on the ledge outside nigbt and day,” went on Trev ors. “But we cannot be so sure of others as we are of ourselves, Ruth. You know that, don’t you?” “Oh, yes, J know,” she answered quickly; As she spoke she suddenly shot out her.long arm so that her great, bony hand fastened like a big claw on 'the girl’s shoulder. “I have got her again! 'Slie is mine, all -mine. Obf I will keep her well.” In a little while Trevors left. He had not returned: Mad Ruth, still gripping Judith’s shoulder; half led her, half thrust her farther back in the cavern. . Judith, made no resist ance, Always; even when terror was uppermost she held one ,thought In mind: “If I can make;them think me a little fool and a wgpkling, my chance may come affef'a while.” As the two women PassedipRround a bend in tlie sinuous tunnel-like cave, the'faint, rays of the lantern they had left behind them died out, and heavy darkness shut them in. Judith could barely make out the huge form tow ering over her. But Ruth, whether her eyes were like a cat’s and accus tomed to this sombre place, or wheth er a hand on a rock wail or a foot on the uneven floor under her told her .which way to go, moved on with out hesitation. Judith estimated roughly that they had come fiftv yards from the outside ledge In front of the cave when, she was pushed down .and-felt ,the rude bed of flr- boughs under her. “So,’.’, grunted.;the.,y{oman, for tlie first time removing her hard hand from, the girl’s, shoulder, “I’ve got you agaii), my pretty. And this time you don’t play any 'more little tricks on your old mother." i ' " ' She was gone swiftly, nil but si lently, through the gloom, her ts vaguely outlined against the lantern's glimmer, to bring the food and. water which she bad set down when she came In. Judith drank and ate. ft was only little by. little, in frag ments which she obtained during the slow days- which followed, that’ she came to understand Trevors’ scheme. And the scheme was in keeping with the man; so far as it was possible, Bayne Trevors was still playing safe. Mad Ruth was am- odd mixture of crazed suspicion, shrewd cunning, cruelty, and madness., Perhaps very long ago—Judith came to believe that it had occurred at the time when she had gone mad, for God knows what reason—Mad Rutli had had a little daughter. The girl had; been lost to her, whether through deatb when an infant, or some tragic accident when a young girl, Judith never knew. Bnt Ruth’s heart had been bound up In that baby of hers; when madness came, it centered and turned upon the return of her child, “Who had run away from her, but who would come back some time.” Trevors; having learned of her mad passion, had shaped it to his purpose- But that was not all. JiKiith had been brought to tlie cave early Sun day morning. Sunday afternoon there came to the cave a' well-dressed man carrying a little black bag In his hand. He talked with Ruth; he took up the lantern and came to Ieok at Judith. “So I’ll know you -again,” he laughed. Then he went away. In fragments which through Tong, empty hours her busy mind pieced together, bridging the gaps, she. grasped the rest of Trev ors’ plan. This man was a physician, sent here from some one of tlie many mining towns in the mountains, prob ably from a camp twenty or thirty miles away. He, too, was a Trevors hireling. Should Judith ever accuse Trevors of having brought her here, there was another story to be told. And this man would tell It: How ho had been summoned here to attend • girl who had had a fall, who’ had wandered delirious through the moun tains until Ruth had found her; whom he had treated here, not daring at first to move her for fear of permanent shock to her reason; who could give them no help to establish her identity; who had a thousand absurd fears and fancies and accusations to make; who In her ■ babbling had at one time ac cused Bayne Trevors of having forc ibly abducted her; who at another had cried that it was a man named Car son, a man named Lee, who 1 had, brought her here. Judith spent many a long hour ex ploring her prison, hoping to find a way out So far as she knew she had but one person to reckon with, Mad Ruth. True, Trevors had said that he’d have a man on the ledge outside day and night; Judith had pever seen such a person., had never: heard his voice, and began to believe that.lt was a bit of bluff on Trevors’ part. But she had never again been where she could look out of the cave’s mouth, since Mad Ruth had her own pellet on the floor at the narrowest part of tlie cave where it was like the neck of a monster bottle, and always at the first sound of the girl’s approach, was on her feet to thrust her buck. Clearly there whs no way out of this place of shadows except that through which she had come. Judith sought an explanation of her imprisonment, and after long groping she came ’very near the truth: Trev ors would work his will with Hampton through Hampton’s faith in him and admiration for him. And, In her ab sence, Hampton was the head of Bins Lake- ranch. Sunday night, hearing Mad Ruth moving cautiously, Judith raised her self on her elbow, listen [Ag. She was confident that the woman was moving toward the cave’s mouth; she hoped wildly that Mad Ruth was tricked into believing her asleep and was going out. Her shoes* In her hands, her. stockinged feet falling lightly, Judith moved toward the mad woman’s couch. .. Ruth was going but; was In fact even now slipping out of the narrow throat of the cave and to the ledga But Judith could not see her. For a new, unexpected obstacle was In her way. Her outthrust hands touched not rock walls but heavy wooden pan els; she knew then that the narrow neck of the cave was qfitted with a- heavy door and that it had been drawn shut, fastened from' without In a sudden access of fury and des pair she beat at it with her two hands, crying out bitterly. It was so dark, so inky black, and as Still,, save for her own outcry, as a tomb sealed and forgotten. ’ Sucb darkness, smothering hope, suddenly was filled with vague terrors; for one worn-out arid nervous as Judith was, the darkness: seemed to harbor a thousand ugly things which watched her and mocked at her despair and reached, ont vile hands toward her. Slie called loudly, and for answer had the crazed laugh of-Maid Ruth which floated In fo her from without, bul which seetped to drop down from the void above.

Renovating Old Orchards Urged Give Neglected Trees Chance to Produce Better and Profitable Crops- Start renovating the. old orchards at once in order to give the trees a chance produce some profitable crops An I orchard should be given a fair chance, and then the trees that fail to deliver the goods should be removed- Ihe orchard cannot be made a pay- , ptoposltion, why let it occupy land which profitable crops can be grown? Furthermore, the old trees in dead and dying condition harbor dis; ease and insects, and the unsightly appearance of a neglected orchard Is a bad advertisement for the owner- points out A. L. Scliilletior. extension horticulturist, at Clemson college If there is a .40 per cent stand of ees that can be brought back into bearing by renovation, it will pav to undertake the work. If this is not the ase, it will pay better to plant anew. The grower should know the varieties before the work is begun, so that ho can determine wlucli , trees Will be profitable. According to Mr. Schillel ter. work- on the old orchard should begin at once; and should consist of thorough and careful spraying, pruning, worm ing und cultivating. Pruning.—This preserves the life. health und vigor of the tree by remov ing dead, diseased and interfering branches, concentrates the growth into the fruit-forming branches, and en courages new wood growth in support of the next crop of fruit. Spraying.—Spraying safeguards and prolongs the life of the trees by re pelling insect and disease attacks, and decreases the percentage of uecayed and wormy fruit. However, it must »e clearly understood tliat different pests require different sprays, und that the wmter application of spray is mainly for preserving the life of the tree. Worming.—This rids the trees of worms that bore into the roots of the trees. The presence of worms is indi cated by sap exudation or jellv near the ground m the pencil and plum, and by yellowing of the apple and pear. These worms must be dug and cut-out, for spraying does not control this in ject. 1 • Cultivation.—This operation aids 111. destroying weeds and grass, reduces the harboring places for insects, makes plant food available, and encourages tree growth. Thinning.—liemove all the worthless or diseased trees, and thin out the re maining trees to proper distances. Ashes on the Garden Ashes in small quantities benefit rather than harm most gardens. Ivspocially where the ground is in clined to be clayey, ashes will prove helpful. TVood ashes, better than coal ashes, have a tendency to sweeten the soil. Much garden soil is sour. If It were sweet it would, produce better vegetables. Practically all swampy or poorly drained soil is sour. Easy to Keep Weeds Down The time to kill weeds is when they are just coming through the ground, or before they come through, says the United States Department of Agrli-Iil ture- If allowed to become estab IisIied it is much more difhcult to get rid of them. If the top two inclie of soil is kept continuously and thor oughly loosened, there will bo no seri ous difficulty m beeping out weeds. Water Fountains in Wmter Are Needed Hen Must Be Comfortable and Well Fed. It is very important that the liens have warm water to drink m winter. W hen we take a drink of ice water on a wmter morning and feel the chills go up and down our spine, then we know liovv the Jien feels when she must quench her tlurst with ice water. When we take a warm drink vve feel a warm • glow that is comforting in , cold w ither, and so it is with the hen that ,we want- to lav high-pneed eggs for us during the winter. Many breeders make the mistake of thinking hens do not need rnudP. water in cold weather, but when it is remembered that an egg is largely water It will be understood that a hen must have water to bo - a layer of many.- eggs. The hen resents water with Ice in it on a cold morning and will not drink as much as she needs. A hen must be comfortable and well fed and watered if she is to make a profitable Iavei-. and warmed, water goes a long way toward making her comfortable and contented. ■There are now on the market many tvpes of water fountains for winter use and the wise poultry raiser is pro viding some sort of fountain that will keep the water .warm during the day. The tvpe built with an insulated jacket is proving very successful and vve advisp, our poultry friends to study, the subject of winter water fountains now before the severe winter weather comes on. There is rnpch in being ready for winter with the poultry flocks. If one postpones this work, he Is liable to find himself unprepared for the first wintrv blasts. Manure Garner Is Good . Investment m Any Bam The manure carfier is a good in vestment in any barn where labor is an item of expense. Of course, if one s time is worth no more than Tts use for exercise, the manure carrier is a liability. Good equipment in the barn and a good-manure pit will go far toward helping to save a large percentage of the nnnual manure pro duction. Its use will help explain why communitieswhere live stock is kept seem to be prosperous In spite of the fact that its farmers will say they are feeding their live stock at a loss. Thev forget to include the value of the manure which keeps their soils not only fertile but in good physical condition. The better this manure is conserved and applied to the fields the greater will he Its value.

BETWEEN-SEASONS MILLINERY; FASHION FAVORS. TUNIG BLOUSE W ILL sl-o, or will she not, take up with the new, extremely ‘high, crowns, that dear Paris has thrust upon u wiuting world? The chances are that she will. The high crown is a reaction from the small, close-fitting hat that had an unusually, long reign, but is likely to soon he relegated to the realm of forgotten things. The pendulum of fashiori began swinging the other way a year ago and has gone a long way. The high crown came, it saw, but it did not immedi ately conquer; therefore, milliners are the resort season and become fash ions for spring. From present indica tions the younger women are inclined to adopt the towering crowns with tor trimming and. small, upturned brims, which they can “carry off,” while old er women find them unflattering. Ma trons are favoring small, close-fitting, black hats in combinations of silk oi sarin and straw, in tailored or seml- tallored styles—practical and chic. The story of blouses is literally a long one—it is a story just now of tunic blouses as long as they have I > — jSf C lv q H in t o f S p rin g S ty les. showing it along with less extreme models.

Co operative m arketing can and shoud^e made a success In America because it provides the best means of stabilizing- the country’s agri cultural m arketing organization, President Coolidge declared to the annual convention of the Council of Farm ers jCojopejative' M arket ing Association. ; • Addressing the delegates to the convention- at the W hite House, the President warned that co-opera tive m arketing possessed no magi cal attributes and asserted that it m ust start from the soil and be de veloped upward. “ There is a school of co-operat ors who seem to -believe that the program can be started at the top and build downward,” he added. “ They want .Jthe government, or ■ the hanks .or •■-philanthropies, or providence, to Jay out a. scheme ,big enough to cover the country and - set its m achinery moving, guarantee it needed capital and then invite the.fanners to sit in the places reserved for them and pro fits. 1 Let me say I offer no such A liddin-Iike project. I want so ciety as a whole to help; but I want the farm ers to do their share and I warn them that this will be the lion’s share.” ■ Co-operative m arketing the Pres ident continued, m ust have its be ginnings in small anL modest units and m ust train the people to thiuk co operatively. H e u se d a sa n ill ustration the building up of the United States Steel Corporation, as serting it never could have started ; from the top, but that Andrew Car- : negia ouilt one section of.it; other men built other sections and none at the outset h:»d the vision of “ the enormous content ration to which their activities were tending.” Tlie president also advised that co-operative m arketing be preached as a principle not as a panacea. “ It will not' perform miracles,” ■ he said. “ It will not accomplish the impossible. B u titis a sound, tried, demot strated principle that . m ust be introduced at the basis. of our agricultural'establishm ent. It demands that ti e individual shall surrender some part of his complete independence for his. own and for the general good.. It means that a certain authority must be delegated and when delegated it m ust be sup=- ported. There must be faith, good will, patience * * * “ The co-op erative association which establish es grades and standards, encourages the good and elim inates' the poor by variety, increases the efficiency pf production, provides a unified product adapted to its marked,',- or ganises its distribution, creates con fjnence in its proqiicts and its me-, ,thods—that kind of an association is do.iqg the best that co-operation can do * * Years ago we needed a generation of farm ers trained for co-operation and leadersnip.” On supposition that Americans are not the sort of people who pos sesses the genius for co-operation, the President dismissed this as in conflict with the whole course of society'. "People who indulge in this kind of nouseuse invariable assume that co-operation is a new and compar atively, untried form ula,” he said “ T heir whole treatm ent of it proves that they have not caught the idea. T hey have completely missed the the forest because -there were too m any trees growing all about. They have completely, .missed the forest because there were too many trees growing- all about.

Bobbed Loug Ago. Greenville, (S. C .,) Piedmont. It is not improbable that bobbed hair for women runs in cycles. It goes back to the days when the world was young.- N or is the pre sent w rath against it without pre cedent. .-T w o hundrei and fiity years ago, according to a letter written by John Chauiberiian of London, the women as to reduce “ thejr men folks and even royalty” to a condi tion that was “ almost frantic. ” Iu-. deed, the indignant aud outraged king ordered the bishop of Loudon to call his clergy together “ to in veigh vehemently against the in 's dencies of our women, and the} re wearing of brode brimmed hats, pointed doublets, theyre hair, cut short, orshorne.” In addition, his majesty gave it out straight that if pulpit admonitions would not re form the women, he would pro ceed by another course. . However, as in otner instances*9 .where men have sough to interfere with .wom en’s fashion, he got nowhere. Chamberlain was so saldly impress ed by the conduct of the women’s with short hair that he closed his lugubrious letter with tilts com ment on the situation and the royal ordei: “ The truth is,, the world is very much ,.out of order, but whether this will mend it, God knows.” So far as we have learned, the only men to whom women have ever paid any lieed in the matter of envies are„the designers, of their clothes. Philippics against those who have ever been stubborn about siyle are as useless as .sermons to statues. .. ' - ; J Universal Draft.

Any public ’ warehousemen who can establish to the satisfaction bt' the Departm ent of A griculture JbatXfieyTteTiusLw^ ent, fiuaucially responsibly, and haVe proper storage facilities, may be licensed to store these products.- So favorably does the banking fraternity view the receipts b y the Eederal licensed warehouse that, many banks accept the receipts as collateral w ithout ,question, Mr. Yohe says. The Iuteam ediate Cred it banks, the Federal Reserve banks, and many Ieadingcommercial bank ers have expressed preference for the receipts. Co-OperativeTtssocia- tions which store their products with warehousemen licensed under the act obtain a preferred receipt which gives them a wider field of credit aud frequently better interest rates.^ The receipt is a definite contract between the depositor and the vyafe- houseman, showng, among other things, the t-xact quantity of the product- entrusted to the ware- nouseman, its grade," variety, and and condition: A ny encumbrances against the goods stored m ust be clearly showu.

' T he folks who think all Demo crats are honest folks and all Re publicans are rascals should remem ber what happened to some of our biggest N orth Carolina Democratic politicians and officeholders. - The governorship of N orth Caro Iina is something that is not -to be sneezed at. ■ W hen Cameron Mor rison took the governor’s seat four years. ago he was a poor man— when he retired last week he was a millionaire.

' The Lord has got as much • use for an extortioner as the devil has for holy water. “ W hat shall it profit a maji it he gain the whole world and lose his own soul.” AlLof our folks are not going to the devil, even if some people say they are. Part of them go to ball games, some to picture shows,-some to church and many to 'school. There are lots of good people in .this old World. T nat is why it Jia sn 11 been destroyed long ago. One. of the first things the legis lature did was to raise the salaries of all the legislative clerks. If that bimch of Senators and Represen tatives were as sui irt as they ought 'to be they would raise their- own salaries high enough to at least give themselves three meals a day.

Reports comes from Raleigh that office-seekers have swarmed about the capital since the conven ing of the assembly, sometimes a scofe or more after one job, or just a prospect l)f a place. ' It is a case of the sins of the fathers being visited on the children', or on the f ithers themselves in some instances Itis n o td isp n te d tb a t it has been the practice for a time, when mem ory runs not to the contrary, for the-legislators to apportion num erous~im aginary jobs; to assign earnest seekers to places that ex isted in name only. It is a hufiian trait to desire something. If the place-hunterg get their pay, tliey- naturally don’t worry if they can find nothing to do. T he custom of grafting has been so lotig con tinued that it is probably consider ed a m atter of right by numerous people who have spent a pleasant and profitable' season at the state capital during the legislative seas on. . If there is a purpose Jol break ivay, which it is' hoped’ there is but feared there is not, it w ill' call for iron resolution to stand firm. The pressure will be so great that the fear is that before the end of ’ the session the vacant spaces about the assembly halls will he packed with patriots who will undergo.lhe labor of collecting $4 per day, with the usual bonus of $2 per extra at the eiid of the session, simply for look ing pleasant. But even. if a start is made, if there are a few less use less subordinates 011 the roll than before, the taxpayers may have oc casion to thank God and take cour age, on the idea that a little leaven may leaven the whole lum p in due season— whenever that may be.— R.

Organizations are also learning that production must be ad justed to meet market demands. V isited the Northwest. Mr. Christensen's study included the co-operative marketing methods em ployed by farmers’ organizations for liimdling fruits and vegetables,' dairy products, poultry products, wool and grains. He visited twenty to twenty- five organizations in California. In Oregon lie studied the wool marketing associations, and in North Dakota and M innesota he investigated the busi ness methods and practices of farmers’ elevators to determine the factors that enter into tile efficient management of1 me elevators. Some Important Points i About Ducks and Geese The laying season for ducks and geese usually starts In February. The Pekin duck lays about" as many eggs as the average hen, but she lays her entire clutch in seven months, while the hen takes about nine months, says a writer in tlie Farm Journal. The Runner duck extends Its laying over a longer period. The goose averages about thirty eggs. Geese pair, but a drake will mate with four or more females. The eggs from yearling ducks hatch well, but to show strong fertility geese mutjt be about three years old. - Ducks can be profitably bred for four years, but geese will be prolific for three or more times that period. Ducks rarely be come broody, but geese' are apt to become broody after laying the first clutch. The goose is a grazing bird, but the duck will thrive on a limited quantity of green food. Geese do hot thrive when yarded; ducks do. The drake Is recognized by the curl in the tall feathers, but this curl is not found on the gander. The average weight of the goose ts twice that of the duck. The older the gander the more vi cious he is apt to become during breed ing season. The: Hrike seldom . shows temper. Geese cannot be profitably hatched and reared artificially, but incubators and brooders have revolutionized the duck business. Nowadays geese are replacing tur keys on many festive occasions. Feeding Milk Goats . “There are no hard and fast rules for feeding goats,” says C. A. Leach, Jefferson county,- Neb., who has a herd of Nubians. “One thing you must keep in mind is that the food used should be of a kind to produce a strong body as well as produce milk. We have found that com, oats and shorts make a very good mixture for the older stock. We mis the feed in the ratio, of 64 pounds of oats, 52 pounds Sn com and about 15 pounds of shorts. In addition to this we feed all the good alfalfa hay the goats will eat.” Vitamines Are Lacking Fall pigs suffer more' from a lack of vitamines than from anything, else. Pigs may have a perfectly balanced ration In so far as protein, carbohy drate and fat are concerned but will not thrive without vitamines, which are present in rye or wheat pasture, alfalfa or sweet clover hay, or fresh milk. When vitamines are added to a well-balanced ration the fall pig will grow and fatten as rapidly and eco nomically as Ilie spr’ng pig. Fruit Tree Protectors One can make his own fruit-tree Protectors at a comparatively little cost. Simply buy screen wire, 26 or 30 inches wide. Then cut into short strijis just large enoilgh to go around the tree. If they are then rolled into cylindrical shape, using a broomstick, they will curl around the trunk and hold ihat position.

Keep After the Weeds Just because the vegetable plants °re making a good showing as a result of the favorable showers and sun- sWne, it must not be-forgotten that the weeds, too, are. malfing even greater, strides. Unless the weeds are killed, " ithin a short time they will get ahead or ihe vegetable plailts and will crowd JJe latter out, or sap the life from the plant Plan Now/Repairs to Hotbeds, Cold Frames Sarly Attention Saves Worry When Rush Work Begins. Scarcity of labor and high prices for materials are making It increasingly necessary for vegetable growers to adopt efficient methods. In the opinion of C. H. Nissley, veg etable specialist at the New Jersey State College of 'Agriculture, New Brunswick, it is now time to be plan ning for the repair of hotbed and cold- frame sashes. If this work can be done during the spare time through the winter months, it will save much worry in the spring when rush work bejgins. Painting is one of the jobs that might well- be started. A linseed oil, white-lead paint will do much to lengthen the life of sashes. An espe cially thorough job should be done at the mortised joints. Homemade putty made according- to the following for mulas will give very go.od results and can be made at a saving of money. The following materials are used: For 26^4-pound lots: 5 pints of raw linseed oil, 3% pounds of-white lead, 20 pounds of whiting. For 5%-pound lots: I pint olrawiinseed oil, % poutid of white lead, 4 pounds of whiting. Cost per pound—seven cents, not counting labor.' - Thoroughly mix the. white lead and oil. Stir into this mix ture enough whiting to make a stiff dough. Pour this on a board which has been sprinkled with a good layer of whiting to prevent the mixture from sticking to the board. Then knead, adding enough whiting to give it the desired consistency.' This piitty will stay soft for an indefinite time if kept covered with water. JFor those who want them, there are numerous commercial materials on the market to take the place of putty for sash work. Dried Buttermilk Used in Egg-Laying Rations Dried buttermilk is comparatively high in prices blit Its feeding value is also high and can be used to advan tage in egg-laying rations. Here is a mash recommended by Iowa State college, which contains dried butter milk : One hundred pounds finely ground corn, 100. pounds finely ground oats, 100 pounds wheat bran, 100 pounds flour middlings, 30 pounds dried buttermilk, 20 pounds bone meal, 50 pounds 60 per cent .tankage, 5 pounds salt. In connection with this mash the college recommends 200 pounds shelled corn and 100 pounds oats for the scratch grain. In fact, that is the scratch grain the college al most-always uses for its layers. There are times'when wheat bran and flour middlings may be relatively too high In price- to make them economical feeds. When that obtains more ground oats may be fed than is recommended In the ration mentioned. For example, 150 pounds ground corn and 250 pounds finely-'ground oats, together with the dried buttermilk, tankage, bone meal and salt mentioned, would perhaps give equally good results. , Order Chicks Early The pouitryman who desires chicks for next spring delivery should be looking around- for a poultry breeder who sells chicks of - good quality. Many a man Is forced to ga-without chicks or to accept later hatched chicks than desired because he has been too slow in placing his order. Place your order early and-you will receive what you w;ant. TreesNeedSunlight Branches headed back- a distance from the lateral, or stubbed back, will send out a lot of sprouts, covered by summer ■frith leaves, and the tree will be so densely covered that sunlight cannot strike into the tree, hence the bearing area will be much reduced. If you have totake out a whole branch, or practically the whole thing, it is generally good practice to cut clear back to the parent branch.

The was an increase of 72.2 per cent for the decade, since in 1912 when the Census found the Nation’s wealth to be $186,299,664,000.

Moscow.—The resignation of Secre tary Hughes and the suggestion in some American newspapers that his withdrawal presages a change In the American Government’s' attitude to ward Soviet Russia h'ave greatly heart ened the Bolshevik officials and press. The belief is indulged in many quarters that Mr. Hughes’ retirement was due directly to disagreement with President Coolidge and his colleagues over tihe question of recognizing the Soviet, and the prediction is freely made that one of the first acts of the new Secretary, Frank B. Kellogg, will be in the direction of giving official countenance to the Soviet regime. The Bolshevik papers print derisive cartoons of Secretary Huglhes, usually referring to him as an uncompromis ing foe of the Soviet. Those Who Gamble Must Pay..

This was officially announced. The agreement is subject to ratifica tion by a pre—vbkgqjvbgkqjjjj ; ference, but, inasmuch as Italy, France and Belgium entered the nego tiations already pledged to support the American viewpoint, and diver gencies existed only between the British and Americans, ratification Is regarded as a foregone conclusion. The United States, under the agree ment, will receive about $25,000,000 yearly on the total of her claims, amounting to approximately $600,000,- 000. Thus reimbursement of the Unit: ed States will occupy a period of 25 years. The sum remaining due for the costs of the American occupation is fixed at between $250,000,1OOO and $260,000,000 while the amount of war damage claims the . conference has agreed would be on the findings of the mixed claims commission. . This has been tentatively fixed at $350,000,000. The terms of the 'agreement pro vide: First—The payment to the United States of 550,000,000 gold marks year ly by priority on the 6ash payments under the Dawes plan, to apply on the American anriy of occiiption coata. These payments are .to begin Septem ber I, 1926, or after the extinguish ment of Belgium’s priority payments. If the Dawes plan functions normally that part of the United States claims will be written off the reparations book in 1943 or 44. t Second—The United States will' share in the Dawes annuities at the rate of 2 i-4 per cent, the total pay* ment3 not to exceed 45,000,000 gold marks annually, beginning retro (ac tively Septemtier I, 1924. These pay ments will be used to amortize the amount of the war damage claims as fixed by the mlved claims commission. The American representatices have agreed that this latter amount should not exceed $350,000,000, or with in terest, roughly 1,500,000,000 gold marks. Repayments under htis head would normally take over 30 years, but it is expected that the heavier pay ments made in the later years of the operation of the Dawes plan will can cel the claim in about 25 years. Third—The United States obtains the immediate release and possession, upon ratification of the protocol, of $15,000,000, now in the. federal reserve bank, which was deposited there by the allies under the Wadsworth agree ment. ' These are the broad outlines of the agreement reached between Am bassador’s Kellogg and Herrick and James A. Logan ,on the one side, and Winston OhurchiIl and Sir Otto Nie- meyer on the otjier, much to the sur prise of the continental delegations beoause of the speed with which a situation that to them seemed a hope less deadlock, the past three days has been cleared up. Washington.—With final approval of the Underwood private leasing bill, 50 to 30, the senate got .itself out of the parliamentary -tangle into wthioh it became enmeshed and so washed its hands of Uie whole Muscle Shoals problem, temporarily, at least. The measure, after a tempestous six weeks' voyage in the senate, now goes to the house, which, at the last ses sion, passed a bill accepting the offer of Henry Ford, since withdrawn. The procedure there remains to he deter mined. The bill either can be sent- direct to conference or can be referr ed to the military committee. Friends of thfe measure are making efforts to have it sent to conference between the two houses with a view to obtaining final congressional action' before this session expires on March fourth, while opponents- are laying their lines to have,it referred to a com mittee in the hope that there will be no final action ,by this Congress. Senate approval,of the Underwood measure #as brought about by a coali tion of administration republicans and a group of -democrats. It-came after Senator Curtis, of Kansas, the major ity leader had conferred with Presi dent CooIidge at the white house. Immediately after the senate met, the Underwood bill was accepted for the second time, 46 to 33, as a substi tute for the Norris government opera tion plan'which 'had been approved, 40 to 39, over the. Jones proposal to re fer the problem to a commission. With the Underwood measure back before the senate. Senator Jones, the republican whip, re-oifered h-is propos al, which displaced ' the Underwood bill, but it was rejected, 43 to 38, ten of the administration republicans who supported it deserting it for-the Under wood plan. j Altbough Senator- Norris previously had announced ihe would not again of fer his bill to the senate, opponents of the Alabama senator’s leasing bill did not give up the fight. Senator McKellar, democrat, Tennessee, offer ed a substitute proposing to refer the Muscle Shoals, question' to - President Ooolidge for settlement without con gressional restriction. - Witih this measure out of the way, the question came up on the final pas sage of the, Undenyood 'bill- and this prevailed after Senator Norris had made a last plea to the senate to with- old its approval. Opposing the Underwood bill on the final vote were 13 republicans, from western states, voted for the hill, from southern and western states, and one farmer-labor.» Thirty-four republi cans, 14 of them from western states and 16 democrats, three of them from western states; voted fo rthe bill.

It bespeaks a love of beautiful color and of luxury and daintiness that is part of the charm of the eternal feminine. It is all made of silky or sheer fabrics and much thought Is given to its design and decoration. The new lines of Intimate garments for spring are made in two main styles, one with little or no lace trim ming but prettily finished with stltch- ery and needlework, and the other lace-trimmed. Pink and flesh • color are far In the lead as favorites, but browns, the deeper blues, purple, orchid, green, beige and gray. All black always has a strong following In this ■ millinery, selling to younger as well as older women. Pour of them designed In black, for the gray-haired matron, are pictured here—bearing all the hallmarks of correct style for women with the poise and presence that belong to mature years. At the left of the group a satin hat, which may be faced with braid, is finished with wide satin ribbon having a moire back.- The moire side is uppermost on the top crown and the satin side, about the side crown. But on this side crown drape, ending In a series of flat loops If NEGLIGEE OF CREPE DE CHINE orchid, yellow and light green have admirers also. The use of two col ors In combination Is noted on spring lines of undergarments, as when pink garments are bordered with hands of orchid or green or blue In the same material. Or several colors are used in cut-out figures appliqued for orna ment by means of hemstitching. But fine and strong laces, pintucks and embroidery remain the staple decora tion for undergarments. Filet, Alen- con, Irish and val laces are used. Negligees are similar In character to undergarments but are made In a wider range of colors and materials. Crepe de chine maintains its position at the right side, the upper edge of the ribbon is turned down, disclosing the moire backing.’. !■ The sparkling bit of sophisticated millinery at the upper right Is made of satin and cellophane braid. It has a tricorn brim and beehive crown covered by the cellophane braid, which Is cleverly extended into a big flat rosette at the left. This is a dignified and snappy’hat such as an active and alert matron enjoys wearing. At the lower left a soft and graceful hat of faille silk has a brim of fine mllan straw and an intricate trimming of faille and satin ribbon, revealing the fine hand of an expert designer. This as the foremost of silken fabrics for is a good model for women to whom I their making and this Is the material used for the new model shown here. It Is very simply fashioned In the ki mono style with sleeves ,extended into points and weighted with silk-covered balls. It has a surplice front fasten ing and a girdle of the twisted crepe flnlsbed with a ball at the ends. Xf‘Mr. Robin Redbreast is watch- Ing the calendar, he knows that it is time for his advance agents to make their appearance in millinery shops. In a week or so we may expect to see the first hats that proc aim (by the materials used for making them) the passing of winter and the coming of spring. As a rule they are small, close-fitting shapes, made of various kinds of silks, crepes and satins, combined with straw or other ITJW ffl-SSsriouelv bv w a r m Dleasant shades. u*m TYPES OF MILLINERY the tall crowns are not so becoming— for above all, matrons should insist upon becomingness In their headwear. They should require hats that do some thing for them, of their milliners—and It Is remarkable how much they can do. The matron who wears the high crown well ought to be pleased with the hat A t the lower right which is CoveredyWith shirred silk and faced With a color. These colored silk fac ings are, a point of great importance for they may prove very enlivening and flattering.

Washington, D. C--Seeing England by paddling a Canadian canoe, touring Holland In a canal boat, and, more recently, viewing the continent from the air afford new thrills—and so did the novel adventure of a Washing ton, man who drove his own automo bile through London and continental cities. David Fairchild, famous plant ex plorer, writes to the National Geographic society of his experiences amid new traffic conditions, ranging from horse dray and pushcart obstruc tions to a congestion of bicycle riders, as follows: . “Well," I should say the way to have experiences in Europe is to come In your own hand-driven car, leaving ev ery vestige of a professional chauffeur behind, and poke around through the narrow streets and the beautiful high ways of these remarkable countries. VIt was something of an- accident which landed us In Europe with the one , hundred and fortieth automo bile to cross the Atlantic this year. It was my stubborn disbelief In the In formation I got, which varied from the statement that it was Just as expen sive to travel in Europe as it is In America, to the discouraging one that ft would be difficult to drive In London because , they drive to the left there, and the street's are so congested that a man cannot drive for himself at all. “The misinformation about motor ing In Europe which exists on your side Is colossal. If you can Interview people and speak a little of the lan guages of the land you visit, motor ing in Europe is the only way by which you can compare it with Amer- Ic on the same plane. If you have a car at home and run about every where and come here and depend on taxis, you will not learn any more about the country than you would with taxis in America. “I have found the garages small and dark affairs, but they cost only from 25 cents to 50 cents a night. I have left tools in the car continually and nothing has disappeared. I have been arrested In London and have a letter from Scotland Yard excusing me—for really, the reasons for the arrest were technical ones, pure and simple. A "System” for Driving. “I can find my way all over that town, and my ‘system’ is as simple as A B C. I get the best map possible and place my son'on the front seat and He calls out the streets, and. unless we get started wrong, we go right through tlie narrowest streets and alleys of that great jumbled-up thing called London. “I wandered in and out of the tiny little streets and got an idea of Lon don which it is impossible to get with out a ear of your own. London has a terrible traffic problem to face. She must either give up the idea of speed ing her commerce and get it up on tires, or broaden scores of streets and run through broad avenues somewhere. “In Holland there are still so few automobiles that there Is not yet any problem of traffic. You travel solitary and alone over roads which have cost more than the thoroughfares In Amer ica and which were built centuries ago and come after a while to discount every derogatory remark of tlie inhabi tant as regards-to the bad roads of his country. "Years ago a Dutch friend of mine who was In Johns Hopkins as profes sor predicted that ’ the bicycle would disappear because it was only a fad. Imagine my surprise to find bicycles in his country In such quantities that, like locust swarms, they blocked the wheels of traffic. I never saw so many. Every family must have one for each member of it. And they nev er try to get out of your way at all, but take up as much room as they want and crowd you off into the ditch, so to speak. But the streets are so narrow and so crooked that it is impossible to go fast, and consequently it is quite as safe driving about as it Is .to run a machine through a crowded garage. Frontiers Easy to Pass. - “Before I came I heard that at each boundary I would have difficulties of all sorts to go through with. This Is a 'mistake. It is about as easy to pass a frontier now In a car as It is to back up to a gas tank and take In ten gallons of gas. You show your carnet de voyage, the officer writes out a leaflet and the stub and detaches It and bows you through. Not one ugly word or sign of impoliteness have I had shown me either by customs offi cials, Immigration officials, or police men. Even when I was arrested on. Piccadilly by two policemen because my cnr had a bumper and the bumper concealed the license tag and the po liceman didn’t understand what the bumper was for. Anyway, I parted with a laugh on their faces when I told them that we had In Washington 104,000 cars with bumpers, and that if I had done what they directed me to do—viz., turn right around In a crowded street—they would have' arrested me for that act. The only real quarrel I have with London is that they will not allow you to park cars on the deserted side streets unless" you tip someone to watch tlie car. I think the Idea comes down from the days of horse traffic when the horse might run away. There are a few widely separated parking places designated by the police, but utterly useless to one who wants to do any business. And this, mind you, where there are but a small fraction of the cars which we have In our American cities." African Antelope Hardest to Catch Gigantic Bust Found in Oid African Tomb Tripoli.—While Count Giusep pe Volpi, governor of TripolL was visiting the excavations at. Sabrata, the most important of the Phoenician tombs, recently, there was unearthed a gigantic bust which is believed to repre sent the African Jove. In ad dition to the bust, a number of funeral urns'" and vases of great value were discovered In the ruins of a neighboring temple. The excavators also found a statue of a Roman emperor and a quafitlty of decorative mar ble® of the highest artistic qual ity. ' _____ H Their Horns Easily Harmed, Says Hunter. New York.—The most difficult ani mal to catch alive is not the ferocious lion, the tiger, the elephant, the hip popotamus or the bear, but the Afri can . antelope, according to Ellis S. Joseph, who has spent a lifetime, nearly, studying the habits and the haunts of wild animals of the jungle and the forest. He has captured alive nearly every kind of animal known. His catches are always in great de mand by zoological gardens and cir cuses. Mr. Joseph claims Australia as his home, though It is apparent that he spends the greater part of his time In wild, out-of-the-way places, where wild animals and savages abide and where the face of a white man is still a strange and terrifying object. While In New York, Mr. Joseph makes his home at the Hotel Pennsylvania. “The African antelope is extremely difficult to catch alive and unhurt," said Mr. Joseph, “because of its ex treme delicacy, particularly of Its horns. Unlike the horns of the elk or deer, the horns of an antelope are’per manent. They do not shed them In certain seusons, and if these horns are broken or injured the damage is ir reparable.“The traps set for antelopes must be .watched day and night. As soon as an antelope is captured the guards must rush forward immediately to prevent the high-strung animal from smashing his horns. Lions Easily CaughL “Lions, on the other hand, are the easiest animals to capture. A cage is made In the jungle by setting tall, strong stakes firmly In the ground, upon which a roof Is fastened. A sliding door that drops from the top Is then arranged with ropes, pulleys and weights in such a manner that the lighest touch of a rope will cause the door to drop. The rope is placed In such a position before ,the opening of the cage that the lion Is sure to touch it as he bounds In to get at the bait— usually a live animal—which is used to lure him within. “Once the door is slid into position Mr. Lion is securely captured. Then a cage with steel bars Is rolled up to the trap, with Its door just opposite the trap door. The door is then opened and, just When the lion thinks' he Is making a dash for" freedom, he finds himself securely fastened in the steel cage. , “Monkeys are captured by guile. They are very fond of a certain vari-- ety of tuber that grows In profusion In Africa. Therefore snares are bait ed with this luscious food, and In that way they are easily captured. Once caught In the snare, the guards rush forward and throw nets over the heads of the monkeys, thus preventing them from escaping. “I bad a pet chimpanzee which I took with me oh one of my journeys into the Interior of West Africa. In the jungle I took the chain off my pet and let him roam at large In his na tive haunts. No, he did not run away and return to his natural element He disappeared into the wilderness, but he returned after a few days, glad to see me again. Home for a Visit. / “It was as though he had simply gone home to visit his relatives and told them that he was prospering In civilization and intended to remain among men. Thereafter the chimpan zee came and went at will. Someflmes he would be gone two or three days, but he always came back. “Chimpanzees grow to be very large. It is not unusual for them to reach the weight of 300 pounds when full grown. Xt Is not known just what the average length of their lives Is. Eighteen years is the longest any have been known to live In captivity, but, on the other hand, the age when cap tured was not known. “The chimpanzee is extremely "In telligent, and there seems to be no limit to the things they can be taught They become very attached to hu mans and are very affectionate and demonstrative—too much so at times. I had a big chimpanzee at one time In Australia. Once when going on a journey I left him in the zoo at Syd ney until I should "return. I was gone about eight months that trip. “When I came back I went to see my pet. As I entered the cage he sim ply went crazy with delight at seeing me aagin. He threw his arms about me and began to bite my face, which is one' of their ways of expressing af fection. But this time his Joy over came his judgment, and Instead of bit ing gently, hs he meent to do, he just about tore my face to pieces. It took 43 stitches io close the wounds. “The chimpanzee is about the near est approach to man In the scale of animal life. I have been much Inter ested In experimenting with finger prints of these monkeys. So far I have finger-printed about fifty chim panzees, and I find that there is as much difference In the prints as there Is In the finger-prints of men.” i I": I-L ■t* j * * Vfc t' v I *rk ffpiSIHl ■t JSc" t r '1IjTJ- C , t* pi J.

By JACKSOH GREGORY Copyright I>j Charles Serltaer1B Sons CHAPTER XIV— Continued —16— "Judith, Judith,” the girl whispered tfter the first outburst, when she found that she was shaking pitifully. “You’ve got to do better than this; Pm ashamed of you.” She went back to her couch, where Ihe sat down seeking to hold her Iangling nerves In check. But, despite her Intention, she sat shaking, lis tening, listening—praying for even the footfall of her jailer. When Euth was with her she at tempted in a hundred ways to gauge [he woman’s warped brain, to seek Bome way to get the better of her, to gain her trust and so to slip away. Bat she found that here was the us ual cunning bom of madness, and that Ruth’s one Idea- was to keep the girl Sflio had escaped her once but who must never escape again. There were times when suspicion .awakened In Ruth’s mind, and she broke into vio lent rage, so that her big body shook and her eyes In the lantern-light were cruel and murderous, when Judith shrank back, and tried to change the woman’s thoughts. For more than once had Mad Huth cried out: ‘TH kill you! Kill you with my own bands to keep you here. To keep you mine, mine, mine!” The woman carried no weapon, but after her two hands had once gripped the girl’s shoulders, shaking her, Ju dith knew that Buth needed no wea pon. Hers was a strength greater than Trevors’, greater than two men’s. If Mad Huth saw fit to kill JudItii with her two hands, she could do it. Sunday passed and Sunday night; Monday and Monday night. Judith knew that she had accomplished noth ing, except perhaps to make Ruth be lieve that she was very much of a coward. In Ruth’s mad brain. that, was little enough, since this did not allay her cunning watchfulness. Then Judith began to do something else, something actively. Just to be oc cupied, was something. Her fingers selected the largest, thickest branch from her bed of fir-booghs. It was per- iiups a couple of inches in diameter and heavy, because it was green. Si lently, cautious of a twig snapped, she began with her fingers to strip the branch, tough and pliable. ! Then the limb must be cut into a length which would make it a club to be used In a cramped space. She found a bit of stone, hard granite, which had scaled from the walls and which had a rough edge. With this, working many a quiet hour, she at last cut In two the fir-bough. She lifted it In her hands, to feel the weight of It, before she thrust it- under her bed to He hid den there against possible need. Poor thing as it was, she felt no longer utterly defenseless. Once Mad Ruth, lighting the lan tern, had dropped a good match. When she had .gone, Judith secured It hastily, hiding it as if it were gold. She knew that now and then Mad Buth went Cown the cliffs and to the cabin across the chasm. Always at night and at the darkest hour. When Mad Ruth, Lighting the Lantern, Had .. Dropped a Good Match. " she heard her go, Judith rose swiftly and went to the heavy door. Always She found it locked; her shaking at it hardly budged the heavy timbers. But though she could not' see it, she . studied it with her fingers until she had a picture of it in her mind. A picture that only increased her hope lessness. Barehanded she could-never hope to break it down or push it aside. And above it ^nd below, and on each eitie, were-the- solid wails of stone. She no longer knew what day it was. She scarcely knew if it were day or night. But, setting herself something to do so that she would not go mad; mad as Mad Rutli, she secured for herself another weapon. Anottier bit of stone which her groping finjr'--_■ :iad found and hidden with her cln1-* a Jagged, uglp rock luttf the slz< . a man’s head. ‘ Some little scmi»b of bread and meat, hoarded from her scanty meals, she hid in her blouse. “If I could stun her, just stun her,” she got into the way of whispering to herself. “Not kin her outright- just stun her ” At last, seeing that she must work her pwn salvation with the crude weapons given her, Judith told her self that she could wait , no longer. Another day and another and she would be weak from the confinement and poor food and nervous, wakeful hours. She must act while the strength was in her. And, If Trev ors had spoken the truth, If there were a m&n to deal with outside— well, she must shut her mind to that until she came to it. Mad Ruth was gone again, and Ju dith stood by the thick door, her heart beating furiously while she waited. It seemed to her eager im patience, that Rnth would never come back. Then after a long, long time she heard a little scraping sound upon the rock ledge outside, the sound of a quick step. And then;-be fore she heard the snarling, ugly voice which she had heard once and had never forgotten, she knew that this time she had waited too long, that it was not Ruth coming. One man—and there might be oth ers. She stepped back to her bed, IiId the two weapons and (waited. She must make no mistakes now. The door was flung open. Outside It was dark, pitch-dark. But evident ly the man entering had no fear of being seen. He threw down a bundle of dry fagots, and set fire to them. The blaze, leaping up, casting wav ering gleams to where Judith stood, showed her plainly the twisted, ugly face, of Quinnlon, Ills red-rimmed eyes peering at her, filled with evil light. 'TThe better to !see you by, my dear!” was Quinnion’s word of greet ing. Judith made no answer. She drew a little farther back Into the shadows, a little closer to the things she had hidden , among the fir- branches. “Ho,” sneered Quinnlon, his mood from the first plain enough to read in the glimpses of his face and In the added harshness of his voice. “Timid little fawn, huh? By G—d> a man would say from the bluff you put up that It was all a dream about findin’ you an’ the han’some Lee In the cabin together! Stan’ off all you d—n please; I’ve come to tame you, you little beauty of the tig Innocent eyes!” Not drunk; no, Quinnlon was never drunk. But, as he came a step closer,, the heavy air of the cave grew heavier with the whisky he carried, whisky enough to stimulate the evil within him, not to quench it. “Stand back!” cried Judith, with a sharp Intake of breath. “I 'want to talk with you, Chris Quinnlon.” “So you know who I am, do you? Well, much good it’ll do you.” “I know who you are and what you are," she told him defiantly, suddenly sick of her long hours of playing baby, knowing at the moment less fear than hatred and loathing. “Listen to me: Bayne Trevors has come ,out in the open'at last; he has made his big play and is going to lose out on it. Your one chance now Is" to let me go and to go yourself. Go fast and far, Chris Quinnion. For when the law knows the sort Bayne Trevors is and how you have worked hand and glove with him, it will know just how much his word was worth when' he swore you were \Vith him when father was killed! Coward and cur and mur dered !” Qulnnlon laugiied at her. “Little pussy-cat,” he jeered. “You’ve got claws, have you? And you spit and growl, do you? Want me to let you go back to that swaggering lover of yours, do you? Back to Lee ” "That’s enough, Quinnion,” she said sharply. “Is It?” He laughed at her again, and again came on toward her, the red-rimmed evil’ of his eyes driving quick fear at last Into her. “Enough? Why, ’ curse you and curse him, I haven’t ,begun yet! When I'm .through with you I’ll go fast enough. And he can have, you then an’ d—n wel come to him!” ,“Stop!” cried Judith, His laughter did not reach her ears now, but as he kicked the fire at his foot and the flames leaped and showed his face, she read the laughter In his soul; read It through the gleam ing eyes, the twisted mouth which showed the teeth at one side In a hor rible leer. His long arms thrust out before him, he came on. ‘‘Oh,, my G—d!” cried Judith. “My G--d I” IThen suddenly she was silent. She thought that she had known the ut termost of fear and now for the first time did she fully know what terror was. His .strength was many times her strength, his brutality was un bounded, she was alone with him. There was no one to call to, not even JRuith.' the mad woman. She was shaking now, shaking so that she could barel.v StifntK Quinnion came on, his long arms out; . . . She felt the strength die' out of her body, grew for.a moment blind smil dizzy and sick She tried as^jn to call out to him, to plead with him. But her voice stuck In her throat He was gloating over- her, a look strangely like Mad Ruth’s In his eyes. t3ood G—d I He was like Mad Ruth; the same eyes, the same long, power ful arms, the same look of cunning! In a flash there came to her a suspi cion which was near certainty: this man was blood of Mad Ruth’s blood, bone of her bone; her son, and, like her, tainted with madness. He sliot out a long arm, his hand barely brushing her shoulder. She shrank back. He stood, content to pause a moment, to gloat further over her. “You little beauty,” he said, pant; Ing. “You little white and pink and brown beauty!" , Judith had shuddered when he touched her. But a strange thing had happened to .her. His touch had angered her so that she almost for got to be afraid, angered her so that the loathing was gone In white hot hatred, giving her back her old strength. Now, though he had the brutal force of a strong man, Quinnion did not have the swiftness of movement of an alert, desperate girl. Before he could grasp her motive she leaped to ward him and' toward the bed of boughs, found the ragged stone, and lifting it high above, her head-flung it full into his face. <The man staggered back, crying out In throaty harshness, a cry of blind rage. But he did not fail, did not pause more than a brief Instant. > A little dazed, with blood in bis eyes, he lunged toward, her. She had found the club now and struck with all her might, again beating into his face and again and again. He sought to grapple with her and she bent him back. She saw his hand go to his hip and heard him curse her, and she leaped in on him and, panting with the blow, struck again. He flung up his arm. She struck once more. Tak ing the blow full across the face, Quinnion reeled back, stumbled at an uneven spot In the rock floor, bal anced, almost falling. . . ../ Only a moment he held thus. But there was a chance to pass him in the narrow way, and she took her chance, her heart beating wlldiy. And •as she shot by she' struck again.,' She heard him after her, shouting curses, stumbling a little, coming on. The door was open, thank God, the door was open! She shot through. If she could but take time to close, it! But there was no time for that; he was almost at her heels. And out side was the ledge and the dizzy climb down. If she slipped, if she fell, well, it would just be a clean death and noth ing more. Quinnion was but a few steps behind her. He had not fired. Had he perKaps dropped his gun back there in the darkness? Or was he so sure of taking her, alive and strug gling, into his arms in another mo ment? She was on the ledge. It was dark, pitch-dark. But she found a hand hold, threw herself fiat down and thrust her feet out over the ledge, less afraid of what lay below than what came on behind her. She was grip ping the ledge now with her hands, already torn and bleeding, her feet swinging, touching1 sheer rock wall, slipping, seeking a foothold. Quinnlon was just there, above her. She must move her hands so that he could not reach her. It seemed an eteralfy that she hung there, seeking a place some where' to set her feet She found it, another lesser ledge which she had almost missed, and knew that this way she had clambered upward with Bayne Trevors. If she could Qfily find another step and an other before Quinnion came upon her! She hfeld her club in uer teeth; she must not let that go. Quinnion, was over the ledge, fol lowing her. She heard his heavy breathing, heard him cursing her again. She was going so slowly, so slowly, and Quinnion would- know the way better than she. Quinnion would make better time In the dark. She moved along this lower ledge. At, each instant she wondered if It were to be her last, If she were go ing to fall, If a swift drop through the darkness would be the end of life. Suddenly there was scarce room In the girl’s breast for hatred of Chris Quinnion, so filled was it with the love of life. She wanted to see the sun come up again, she wanted the sweet breath of the dawn in her nos trils, the beauty of a sunlit world in her eyes. She thought of Bud Lee. Clinging to the rocks, hanging on desperately,. taking a score of des perate chances momentarily, she made her way on and down. She found scant handhold and, almost falling, dropped her club, heard it strike, strike again. ' Black as the night-was, Its gloom was less* than that, of the cavern to which Judith had grown ac customed; little by little she began, to make out the broken surface of the cliffs.. The chasm below was a pool of ink; above were the little stars; in the eastern sky, low down, was a pronilse^of the; rising moon. . The surge of quickening hope came into her heart. Hiid she hurt Quin nion more than she had guessed? For, slowly as she made her hazardous way down, It seemed to her that Quin nion came even more slowly. Could she but once get down Into- the gorge below, could she slip along the course of the racing stream, she might, run and the sound of her steps would be lost even to her own ears in the sound of the water; the sight of her flying body would be lost to Quin nion’s eyes. Then she heard him laughing above her. Laughing, with a snarl and a curse in his laugh, and something of malicious triumph. Was he so cer tain of her then? “Ruth!” called Quinnion. “Oh, Ruth! The girl’s gettin’ away. Goin' down the rocks. Head her off at the bottom.” ^ Judith had found, because her fate was good to her, the long slanting crack in the wall Qf rock up which .she had come that day with Bayne Trev ors. There was still danger of a- fall, but the danger was less- now than It had been ten seconds ago. She could 'move more swiftly now and confidence had begun to come to her that she could elude -Quinnlon. But now, suddenly, she heard Mad Ruth’s voice screa'ming a shrill answer to Quinnion’s shout; knew that Ruth had been In her cabin across the gorge and was running to intercept her at the foot of the cliffs. Well, still there was a race to' be run and the odds not entirely uneven. Ruth must descend the other side of the canyon, get down into the gorge, make the crossing, which, so far as Judith knew, might be farther up or farther down stream, come to the cliffs below Judith before Judith her self made her way down.' Again Judith took what risks the night and the rocks offered her and thanked God-In her soul that it was given her to take a chance In the open, to use her own muscles in her own fight, not to .He longer, playing the part of a do-nothing. Now and then, across - the void, there floated to her a little moaning cry from the mad woman’s lips. Now and then she heard a curse from Quinnlon above; often from above her, from beiow her own feet, from across the chasm, drop ping stones, falling almost sheer, told of haste and death which might come from an unlucky step. / Fast as Judith went now, having a fair sort of cliff trail under her Mad Ruth went faster. The gorge measured a scant flftv feet between them and the gfrl’s aiert senses told her that already Ruth was on a . level with her. Ruth was winning In the desperate race. She knew ,her way down so perfectly, her heart was so filled with madness, that danger was nothing to her. D owti and down climbed Judith, caution wedded to haste, as she told herself that she had a chance yet, that that chance must not be tossed away In a fall, though it were but a few feet. She must have no sprained ankle if she meant to see the-sun rise tomorrow. The flush had brightened In the sky where the moon was., so near the ridge. lThe moon, too, had joined In the race; with one-quick glance to ward it, Juditli again discarded- cau tion for haste. She must get down into the floor of the canyon before the moonlight did; she must be running before its radiance showed her out ,to Quinnion and Ruth. Her hands were cut and bleeding, her heart was beating wildly, already her body was sore and bruised. But these things she did not know. She only knew that Quinnion was still coming on above her, and coming more swiftly now, quite as swiftly as she herself moved, since his ,feet, too, were In the better trail; that Mad Ruth had completed the descent across the chasm and-(>y now must be crossing the stream upon'some fallen log or rude bridge; that one minute more, or,perhaps two, would decide her fate. 1 She could;see the stream, glinting palely In the starlight. >Jt seemed very near; its thunder filled her ears. Down she went and down, down un til at last she was not ten’feet above its surface, with a strip of gently sloping bank just under her. .She stopped, took firm hold upon a knob of boulder; prepared to swing down and - drop to the bottom. And, as she stooped; she’ heard a little whining moan just under her and straight ened ,up, tense and terrified. Mad Ruth was there before her, Mad Ruth wa<j waiting. - CHAPTER KV Alone in the Wilderness -And Quinnion • was coming on. She was trapped, caught between the two of them. She heard Quinnion laugh again; he, too, had heard Ruth “Oh, God 'help me I” whispered Ju dith. “God help me now!” There was no Ume to hesitate.' if she stood here, Quinnlon would Iii'' H moment wrap his‘ arms about, her - If she dropped down, she would be’ fn the frenzied clutch of Mad Ruth. A second she crouched, peering down into the gloom below her, seek ing to make out the form of the mad woman. Then she did not merely drop, but jumped, landing fair upon the waiting figure, striking with her boots on Mad Buth’s ample shoulders. A scream of rage from Ruth, a IlttJe, strangling cry from Judith, and the two fell together. Buth clutched as she went down and a hand closed over the girl’s ankle. Judith rolled, struck again with the free boot, twisted. sharply and felt ,the grip tom loose from her ankle. She was free. She jumped up and ran and knew that Ruth was running just behind her, screaming terribly. Judith fell, and her heart grew sick within her. But again she was up just as Buth’s hand clutched at her skirt, clutched and was tom away as Judith ran on. Quinnion cursed from above.as.she had not yet heard him curse. Ruth reviled both her and Quinnion for bal ing let her go. Judith was running swiftly and felt that she could get the better of the heavier, older woman, in a race of this sort. She stumbled and-fell, and Jumped, Striking With Her Boots, on Mad Ruth’s Ample Shoulders. fear again gripped her; It seemed so long before she could rise and clamber over a fallen log and race on. But the darkness which tricked her pro tected her at the same time, playing no favorites now. Ruth, too, had fallen;- Ruth, too, was 'frenzied at the brief delay. Stumbling, falling, rising-, stagger ing back from a tree into - which she had run full tilt, bruised and torn, the girl ran on. At every free step hope shot upward In her heart; at every fall she. grew siik with dread. ' The canyon broadened rapidly, the ground underfoot grew less broken and littered with boulders ^ and logs. Through tangles of brush she went blindly, throwing. herself forward, falling, rising, falling, rising again. It was a nightmare of a rice. With Ruth always just there, alpibst at her heels. She turned as far .away from the stream as she could, keeping under the cliffs where,there was less brush; where the way was more open, where the-shadows were thickest She' was outdistancing Mad Buth. Buth’s Tjpird voice came from a' great er distance; the woman was ten, may be twenty, feet behind her. -The mbon at last rose pale gold above the eastern :'r.idge. And now Judith could jthank God for It For the canyon Ired widened more and more,- the banks of the river were studded with big trees, there were wide- open spaces between them through which she shot like a fright ened deer, turning this way and that, darting about a clump of little fira, plunging’into the shadows under great sky-seeking cedars,, running as she had never run before and as she knew Mad -Ruth could not run. Free! She.was free. The triumph of it danced In her blood. On she ran and now Quinnion’s voice and Ruth’s were confused with the roar of the river. On she >iran and on and on, and but faintly there came to her the sound of breaking brush, somewhere behind her. Never had her blood sung within her.as it sang now; never had the dim,. moonlit solitudes of the mountains opened their sheltering arms to one more grateful to slip into them, like a wounded child into the soothing embrace of its mother. Now sigaln she turned so that her flying steps brought her dose to the water’s edge. Louder and louder grew its Shouting l voice In her ears, little by little drownlng out the: sounds of Ruth and Quinnlon ' behind her. Now, In all the glorious -nigiit, there was no sound toTeach her but the sound of running wtiter and her'ovrti beating feet. She was free.

Great alarm is being felt just now because some of these Christian ized women are marrying out of the Christian religion by choosing hus bands who have not been converted.

C.V, Ju d ith o f B lu e L ak e R a n ch CHAPTER XV—Continued —17— But still she ran, summoning alt of the reserve of strength and will-power which was here to command. The sky was brightening to the climbing moon. Rhe must round maoy a sweeping curve of the river, pass under many a sheltering, shadowing tree before she dared slow her steps. When she felt that she was over taxing herself, she dropped from the. wild pace she had set' herself into a Uttle jogging trot. When' her whole body cried out at the effort demanded of It, she slowed down to a brisk walk, She was shot through with pain, her throat ached, she was grow ing dizzy. But on she went stub bornly. It was a full hour after the last sound of pursuit had died out after her tkait she flung herself down at the water’s edge to drink and batlio her arms and face in the cold stream. And, even then, she chose a spot where the shadow of a great pine lay like ink over the bank. The moon was high In the sky, the world bright with it, when Judith left the valley into which the canyon had widened and made her way slowly up ward along a timbered ridge to the west. Of Quinnion and Mad Ruth she now had no fear. Their chance of coming upon her was less than neg ligible. She could creep into a clump of thick-standing young trees and, even if they should come, could watch them go past. But as they had dropped out of her world,, another matter hod entered it. The mountains had befriended her; they had opened their arms to her and that was all that she had asked If them. They had mothered her,‘ drawing her into hiding against their bosom. But it was a barren, barren breast. And already she was hungry, daring to eat but sparingly of her handful of bread and meat. From tfilg ridge, finding an open crest, she stood looking out over the world. MUe after mile of mountain and canyon and cliff fell away on every side. She sought eagerly for a landmark; to see yonder in the dis tance Old Baldy or Copper mountain or Three Fools’ peak, any one of the mountains or ridges known to her. And in the end she could only shake her head and sigh wearily and slip down where she was to fall asleep, thanking God that she was free, ask ing God to lead her aright In the morning. , - The stars watched over her, a pale, wornout girl sleeping alone in the heart of the wilderness; the night breezes sang through the century-old tree-tops; and Judith, having striven to the, uttermost, slept In heavy drearalessness. AVith the cool dawn she awoke shivering and hungry. Her hair had tumbled about her face, and sitting up she braided if with numb, sore fingers. She looked at her hands; they were stained with blood from many cuts. Her skirt was torn and soiled; her stockings were in strips; her knees were bruised. But as she rose to her feet and once more searched the riddle of a crag-broken world, her heart was light with thankfulness. Last night the one friend she had with her was the North star. Today she would seek to push on toward the west.,, In that direction she believed the Blue Cake ranch lay, though at best it was a guess. But going west ward she could foliow the, course of the bigger streams, and soon or late, if her strength held, she would come to some open valley where men ran stock. Now. she would go down into the little meadow lying a mile away yonder and seek to find something to eat. If she could but dig a few wild onions, wild potatoes, they would keep her alive. AVest she would go, if for no other reason than because thus she would be setting her back squarely upon the cavern where Quinnion and Ruth were. The sun rolled into a clear slty and wormed her. She made her way down the long flank of the mountain and into the tiny meadow. For up ward of two hours she remained there, nibbling at roots which she dug up with a broken stick, seeking edible growths which she knew, finding lit tle. but enough to keep the life in her, the heart warm in her breast. Then she went on, <yer a ridge again, <1o\vn into a canyon and along the stream which rose here and flowed westward. By noon she was faint and sick and had to stop often to rest, her legs' shaking under her. Again she made ’ a scant meal. She jjad stumbled on a tiny field of wild potatoes and afe wliat she could of them, thinking long ingly of a match for a fire. The match which Buth had dropped she still had, but she carefully reserved it now, thinking how perhaps a trout, caught in a pool, might save-her life. In her - already hnlf-stnr\;ed condi tion and with the demands constantly put on her strength, she would grow weaker and weaker if help did not soon come: But she was still filled with the giory of freedom. It was a-heart-weary, trembling Ju dith who late that afternoon made her W ay Upward along another ridge, seeking anxiously to find from this lookout some landmark which site had sought In tain last night. In her blouse were -the few roots she Imd brought with her from tfie field dis covered at noon. Lying, in a Iiitle patch of dry . grass, resting, Jshe watched the day go down and *.rhp night drift into the mountains, fii r-iV tlie ravines, creeping up the shr-v* rising slowly to the peak to which' By JACKSON GREGORY Copyrisbt by Charles Scribner's Sons she had climbed, seeping into her soul. Never had the passing of the day seemed to her so majestic a thing, truly filled with awe. Never un til now had the solitudes seemed so vast, so utterly, stupendously big. Never until now, as she lay staring up iuto the limitless sky, having given up the world about her as unknown, had she drunk to the lees of the cup of loneliness. So great was the weariness of her tired body that as she lay still, watch ing the stars come out ope by one, she was half-resigned to lie so and let death come to find her. It seemed to her that here In the rude arms of Mother Earth a human life was a matter of no greater consequence than the down upon a moth’s wing. But she rested a little and this mood, foreign to her intrepid heart, passed, and she sat up, again resolute, again ready to make her fight as long as life beat through her blood. At last she took the one match from her pocket. She scarcely dared breathe when, with dry grass and twigs piled against a rock, her dress shielding them from the wind, she rubbed the match softly against her boot. A sputtering flarpe. making the blue light of burning sul phur, died down, creating panic in her breast, then flared, crackled, licked at the grass. 'She had a fire and she knew how to wse it! AA'hen a log was blazing, assuring her that her fire was safe, she rose sjviftly and. went in search of the tree she meant to burn. She found a giant pine, pitch-oozing, standing in a rocky open space where there was Htlle danger of the fire spreading. Fagged out and eager as she was, she had not come to the point of forget ting what ft great forest fire meant. She went back to her burning log, for a blazing dry branch w;hich she carried swiftly to the tree.. Then she piled dry grass and dead twigs, logs as heavy as she could carry, bits of brush. The flames licked at the tree, ran up it. seemed to fall away, sprang at It again, hungering. Now and then a long tongue of fire went crackling high up along the side of the' tree. Judith went back to a spot where, In a ring of boulders, there was another grassy plot, threw herself down and lay staring at the tongues of fire which were climbing higher and high er. Some one would see her beacon. A forest ranger, perhaps, whose duty it was to ride fast and far to battle with the first spark threatening the wooded solitudes; perhaps some crew In a logging-camp, than whom none knew better the danger of spreading fires; perhaps some cowboy, even one of her own men—perhaps'. Quinnion and Ruth? She then would hide among the rocks until they had come and gone: Even now, against the sleep falling upon her, she drew farther back ■ through the tumbled boulders. Perhaps, Bud Lee. .... She went to sleep beyond the circle of bright light, tired and hungry and striving against a returning hopeless- & Throughout the Night the Tree Blazed Unseen. ness, her young body eurled-up in the nest slie had .found, a'cheek cuddled against .her arm, Wonderingi vaguely if some onq would see her’fire and come—if that some one might be Bud Lee. •* - C H A P T E R X V I •• f ~'.' ■ ’ B acon, K isses a n d d Con fession Throughout the night,"the tree blazed unseen. Judith’s eyes were closed In the heavy sleep of exhaustion.' The flames roared and Ieayied high sky-, ward, burning branches fell crashihg- ly, to lie smouldering on the, rocky, soil, the upstanding trunk glowed, vivid against the sky-line. In the early morning at least; two pairs of -eyes found the, plume of smoke above the still burning giant pine. A . man) named Grjsene, one of the government foreSf rangers, blaz ing: a new trail over Devil’s ridge, came out upon a height, saw it and watched it frowningiy across the miles) It called him to a hard ride, perhaps to a difficult journey on foot after he must leave his horse. He turned promptly from the work in'hand, ran to his horse, swung up and sped back to his cabin, to telephone to the near est station, passing the word. Then with ax and shovel, he began his slow way toward the beacon: Bud Lee. from the mountain-top where he and Burkitt had taken Hampton, saw it. Lee judged rough Iy that it was Separated from him by four or five miles of broken country, impassable to a man on horseback, to be covered laboriously on foot In a matter of weary hours. Lee and Green approached the sig nal smoke from different quarters, Lee from the west. Green from the north east. They fought their way on to ward Jt with far different emotions in their breasts. Greene witlr the de sire to do a day’s work and kill a forest fire in its beginning, Lee with the passionate hope of finding Judith. Lee reached his journey’s end first. As he came pantingly' up the last climb he discharged his rifle again and again, to tell her that Re was coming, to put hope into her. And, because he was a lover and a lover must be filled with dread when she is .out of his sight, tie felt a growing anxiety. She had lighted the fire last night; what might have happened to her since then? Had she been wan- dering, lost all these days? If noth ing else, then Itad she'waited here half the night arid in the end had she gone on plunging deep Into some can yon hidden to him? AVould he find her well? AVouId he find her at all? Suddenly he called out, shoutin, mightily, and began running, though the way was steep. He bad seen Ju dith, he had found her. She was standing among the scattered boulders, her back to a great rock.- She was waving to him. Her lips were mov ing, though be could not see that yet, could not hear iter tremulous: “Oh, thank God, thank God I” “Judith,” he called, “Judith I” Now, near enough to see her dis tinctly, he saw that. her face was white, that the hand she held out was shaking,'that her clothes were torn, that she looked pitifully In need of him. But at last, when he stood at her side, one of the old rare smiles came into Judith’s tired eyes, her lips curved, and she said quietly: “Good morning, Bud Lee. You were very good—to come to me, “Oh, Judith," he cried sharply. But no other word came to his lips then. The brave little smile had gone, the whiteness of her face smote him to the heart. And now slie was shaking from head to foot, and he knew why she had not stepped out to meet him, why she had kept her back to the rock. He thought that she was go ing to fall, he saw two big tears start from the suddenly closed eyelids, and with a little inarticulate cry be took her into his arms. “If you had not come, Bud Lee," She whispered faintly, "I should have died, I think.” Very tenderly he gathered her up so that her little boots were swung clear of the flinty ground and she lay quiet-.-in his arms. He stood, a mo ment holding her thus, looking with eyes alternately hard and tender Into her face. He' wanted to hold her Thus always, to watch the glad color come back into her cheeks, to carry her, like a baby, back across the weary miles _and home. And. oddly, per haps,. the thought came back to him and hurt him as it had never hurt Iiim before, that he had once been brutal with her, that he Iiad crushed her in his arms and forced upon her lips his kiss. He had been brutal with Judith, when now he could kill a man for lay ing a little-finger on her. "I have, been a brute with you, a brute," he" muttered to himself. But Judith heard him; her, eyes fluttered open and into them, came again her glorious smile. , . , “BecanSe you- kissed me that night, Bnd Lee?" sne asked him. "Don’t !” lie-cried sharply. “Don't even remember it, Judith.” “Do you know so little of a girl, Bud Lee.” slie''went on slowly, “to think that a man can so easily—find her lips with his unless—nnless she wants' to be kissed?” He almost doubted his ears; he could hardly believe that he had seen what he had seen in Judith’s eyes. They were closed now, she lay quiet in his arms, It, seemed that she, had fainted, or was asleep, so very white and still was she. He had forgotten- that he must carry her to where he coiild lay her down and bring water to her, give her something to . eat He just.stood motionless, holding her to him, staring hungrily down at her. 1 “Are you going to play—I’m your baby—all day, Bud tee?” she asked softly." -- He'carried her swiftly: away from the ring of boulders, and to a-little grassy, level spot where he put her down with lingering tenderness. Ju dith had not been angry with him all these months I Judith had let him kiss her because she wanted to be kissed— by him! He raked some coals out of the ashes, hastily set some sljces of bacon to fry, cursed himself for hot haviri- brought coffee' and milk and sugar and a steak and a flask of whisky and enough other articles to load a 'tnule He ran down into ,the canyon and brought water in ids hat/ swearing. ■" '- 'v V - • f - at himself all the way up that he had not brought a . cup. He put bis arm about her while she drank; kept his arm about her, kneeling at her side, whUe he g'aye her a IltGe, crisp -slice of bacon, held his arm there when she had finished, watching her solicit ously. “The two nicest things In the world, Mr. Man,” she said, with a second at tempt at Gie old Judith brightness, “are half-burnt bacon and Bud Lee!”. Then) because, though he had been slow to believe, be -was not a fool, and now did believe, he kissed her. And Judith’s lip3 met his lingeringly, Judith’s two arms rose, slipped about his neck; holding him tight to her. The faintest of flushes had come at last into her cheeks. He saw it and-grew glad as he held her so that be could look into her face. But now she laid a hand against his breast, holding him back from her. “That’s all now,” she told him, her eyes soft upon him. ‘‘Just one kiss for each slice of bacon, Mr. Lee. But —I’m so hungry!” For a little there was nothing to do •but for Judith to rest and get some of her strengtli back. Lee made of his coat and vest a seat for her against a rock, sat at her side, his arm about her, made her lean against him and just be happy. Not yet would he let her tell him of the hor rors through which she: had gone. And he saw no need of telling her any thing immediately of conditions as he had left them at Uie ranch. Time enough for that when she was stronger, when they were near Blue lake. • ■ Greene, the forester, came at last up the mountain. He noted the iso lated. tree, nodded at it approvingly, made a brief tour around the charred circle, extinguishing a burning brand here and there, s “AAHiat sort "of a fool would want to climb way up here to start a fire, anyway?” he grumbled. Then, unexpectedly, he came upon the happiest-looking man he had ever seen, with his arms about an amaz ingly pretty girl. Not just the sort of thing a lone forest ranger - counts upon stumbling upon on the top of a mountain. Greerie stared in bewild erment, Bud Lee turning a flaming red. Judith smiled. “Good morning, stranger," said Lee. “Fine day, isn’t! it?” Judith laughed. Greene continued to. stare.. Lee went a trifle redder. “If you two folks just started that fire for fun,” grunted Greene finally, ,‘‘why, then, ail Tve got to say is you’ve got a blamed queer idea of fun. Here I’ve been busting myself wide open to get to it.” “Haven’t got a flask of brandy on you, have you?" asked Lee. “Yes, I have. And what’s more I’m going, to take a shot at it right now. If nobody asks you, I need it!” Now, Lee heard for the first'time something of Judith’s adventure. .For, recognizing the ranger in Greene/ she ,told, him swiftly why she had started the fire, of her trouble with Quinnion, of the cave where Quinnion had at tacked her and of Mad Ruth) Greene’s eyes lighted with interest. He swept off his hat and came forward, sud denly apologetic and very human, proffering, his brandy, insisting with Lee upon her taking a sip of it. Yes, he knew Mad Ruth, he knew where her cabin was. He could find the cave from Judith’s description. Also, he knew of Quinnion and would be delighted to break a record get ting back to his. station and to AVhite Rock. AVliite Rock was in the nest county, but so, for that matter, was the cave. He’d get the sheriff and would lose no tiine cornering Quinnion if the man had not already slipped away.' ^ “I don’t know you' two real well,” said Greene, with a quick smile at the end. “but if you don’t mind.'pardner,” and Jie put out his hand to Lee, 'Td like- to congratulate ycJri! I don’t know a man that’s quite as lucky this morning as you. are!” “Thank you,” laughed Judith. She rose and shook hands too. “AVe’re al Blue Lake ranch for ,the present Come and see us.” / “Then-you’re Miss Sanford?” said' Greene. He laughed. “I’ve heard of you more than once, Greene’s my name.” “Lee’s mine,” offered Lee. • ■ > “Bud Lee, eh? Oh, you two will do! 'Sb long, friends. I’m off to look up Quinnion,” And, swinging his ax blithely, Greene took his departure. ’ /T here are other things In the world besides just cliffs to stare at," said Judltlb "And I Would like a bath and a change of clothes and a chance to brush my hair. And the bacon doesn't taste so good as it did and I want an apple and a glass of milk.” , So at last they .left the mountain- top and made their slow way down • As they went Lee told" her some- tmn£ of what had happened at 'the ranch, how- Carson -would hold off the buyers, how Tommy Burkitt was as suming charge ,of Pollock Hampton. And when they came near enough to Burltiitt-’s. and Hampton’s hiding-place Lee fired a rifle several times to get Burkitt’s attention. Finally they saw the boy,, standing against the sky upon a big rock, waving to them. From) Lee’s shouts, from his gestures, chieflv f,rom the-fact that JTudith was Uiere Burkitt understood and freed Hamp/ ton, the two of them coming swlftlv down to Judith and Lee. Hampton’s fftiee was hot with the J ■/ .. J anger -which had grown overnight He came on stiffly, chafing his wrists. 'TThese two - fools,” he snapped to' Judith,- “have made an awful mess of things. They’ve queered the deal with Doan, Rockwell & Hhigbt) they’ge made themselves liable-to prosecution for holding me against mj^ will, they’ve—” “Walt a- minute, Pollock,” said Ju dith quietly. "It’s you who have made a mistake.” Briefly,’she told him what bad hap pened. As word after word of her account^ fell upon Hampton’s ears, bis eyes widened, the stiffness of his bear ing fell away, the glint of anger went out of his eyes, a look of- wonder came into them. And when she had fin ished, Hampton did not hesitate. He turned quickly and put out his two hands, one to Lee, one to BurkitL “I was a chump, same hs. usual,” be grunted. "Forget it if you can. I can’t ” They went on more swiftly now, the four of them together, Judith in sisting that that last sip of brandy bad put new life into her.

Again he could turn bis. thoughts -a little to what lay in front of him, 'wondering ivbat luck Carson bad had in his double task of fighting fire and holding off the buyers.

After he had called repeat edly, there floated to him from some where down on the lower flat an an swering yell. And presently Carson himself came riding to meet bim. Carson’s face was smeared with blood; one bruised, battered, discol ored eye was swelling shut, but In his uninjured eye there was triumphant gladness. \ “AVe got the sons-o’-guns on the run, Bud,” he announced from afafc “Killed their pesky fires out 'before they got a /good Start, crippled a couple of ’em, counting 3enny, the- cook, in on the deal, chased tbeiv deputy sheriff off with a flea An ht- ear, an* set tight, holding our own.” “AVhere’d you get the eye, Carson "I demanded Lee.

For some time Rowan's only companion was his dog, which followed him everywhere he went and slept on-the floor, near his bed, at night. A few days ago Rowan died. His last request was that the under taker permit the dog to accompany his remains to the cemetery. This re quest was granted and.after the burial of Rowan, the undertaker took the dog back to the Rowan home. On en tering the house the dog began to whine mournfully, and, after making three rounds of the Iiouse as if to take a last farewell -.of his accustomed haunts, the dog halted by his mas ter’s vgcant chair beside the fireplace, suddenly reeled and fell dead. Mem bers of - the household made a tiny coffin and .‘carried it to the cemetery, where the faithful dog was interred in the same grave with his master. — -----------------:_________u. ttJimi* Marshall, Former “Dead Shot,** Is Dead Denver, Colo.—"Three-fingered Jim” Marshall, who won his title by quick ’trigger work in the gold camps in the stage-coach days of the West, died in IJie General hospital here after hav ing served the last ten years of his checkered career as a deputy sheriff.

Each-child drinks three and a half pints, of milk a day, arid hot dishes are served for luncheon, with a menu of carefully selected nourishing food. The average gain In weight is two to three pounds per week. ■ in Accuracy Proves Infallible M eans of Identification. New York.—"Footprlntin;; Is my fad,” said Mary E. Hamilton, director of tiie New York policewomen's bu reau. “But it is a fad that will last as long as I do. I hope it will last as long as the world.” The head of the policewomen of New York made this remark to Ada Patterson, who tells the story in the Police Magazine. Mrs. Hamilton Ims furnished an apart ment next to IieF own home for des perate, unmarried mothers who might otherwise become human waste. Fran tic, betrayed girls with the dawn of motherhood in them may ring her doorbell at any hour and find sympa thy and a room in the little waiting apartment that is a twin of Mrs. Ham ilton’s home. Twin in-shining neat ness arid care and livableness. We were talking of these distraught, de spairing visitors,- of the pallid faces and the midnight ring at the door, when Mrs. Hamilton mentioned foot- printing. ‘It is the lost word in accuracy In the detection of criminals,” she said. Commissioner Richard E. Enright, who is a progressive, forward-looking official, deeply interested in finger printing'not only for detection, but for personal protection, approves foot- printing. O rig in o f F o o tp rin tin g . . "It came into the department in a strange way. A beggar was brought in. His hands were gone. His arms, .were mere stubs. How should we se cure means of identification in hi3 case? Tliere were no birthmarks. Comparatively fety persons have them. ‘The only thing to do is to take his footprints,’ said some one. • The beg gar’s foot was smeared with the ink used in fingerprinting. He was '.told to step upon a sheet of white paper. There was a complete print. By that simple act the perfection of methods of identification hod been reached. A criminal may twist his fingers and prevent a perfect print. But the sole of the foot is' uncompromising. The footprint is a masterpiece. . ‘Footprinting has the widest ap plication to the problems of life and the police; for hands miiy be maimed and manipulated, but the soles do not change. So long as the feet remain, the footprint is an infallible means of identification. Possibilities. “It solves the problem o f the bn- Iortunate stricken- suddenly by am nesia or aphasia. If every person ,were footprinted at birth and records made of the footprints the footprints would answer the sad old question, ‘Who am I f i » “Footprinting would prevent the hospital blunders of mixed-up and missing babies. “It would' make complete and ac curate beyond doubt the identifica tion of the dead. “Potters’ field would dwindle to a mere record of poverty rather than mystery. The appalling, record of the burial of 250,000 unknown dead a year In New Tork city would be erased. “It would'Jiave caused Charlie Ross to be found—and Lillian McKenzie.” “There would be no more lost chil dren?” I asked. “If lost they wonid be quickly found,” returned Mrs. Hamilton. “And there would be no pcssibility of mis taken identities. • No two footprints are alike and they never charige. What mother could say with certain ty, ‘If my child were lost today I would recognize him in 12 years?’ The woman who is not sure whether a child is her own or another's is the saddest sight Iu a world crowded, with sad spectacles. Yet it is a common one. Nothing in nature changes so wholly as does a babe that is growing up. A mother's heart may tell her tiie truth, but she has ^o -ure means of proving it.” ’ Kills Huge Owl Tacoma, Wash.—A great owl that had long been killing poultry and wild game near South Bend, WasIin re cently was caught and slain as a re sult of the pluck Of Mrs. W.

San Antonio, Texas.—The Alamo— the shrine of Texas liberty—is the best-ioved historical building in Tesas. Wrapped in its gray cloak, it stands here amid the bustle and bustle of modern city life. The word “Alatrio” is a Spanish name for the cottonwood tree, a species of poplar whose wood Is noted for beauty of texture. These ,trees grow’ along the creeks and rivers of Texas. The Alamo was ereeted' In a grove of cottonwoods. The building now known t as the Alamo was the church In the Mission San Antonio de Valero. It stands on the east side of Alamo plaza ,In the center of San Antmio, with its carved stone face toward the setting sun. its front bears the date of 1757, prob ably the date-of its dedication. The foundation stone wiis. laid on May 8, 1744. It is understood that the mission was founded on ,the Rio Grande river in 1703, was moved twice, then ’ finally brought to Sun Antonio, Tribute From French Face Wounded seurs the tomb of the Unknown Hero In Arlington cemetery ori Armistice day.

The church was built of stone, and there are evidences that' it once had twin towers, though at the time it Was besieged by Gen. Santa Anna they had disappeared and the dome had partly fallen. At the time the. Alamo was rehabilitated, a new roof was put on; but it StiW retains the old dirt floor. Famous Battle. During Texas’ war with Mexico in 1836,- the Alamo, containing 181' men under the ’ command of Col. W. B. Travis, and including Bowie, Crockett and Bonham, was besieged by Santa Anna with a large force. Col. Travis sent messengers \vith ri call for help which failed-to-come. He then made Iiis famous speech to his men and asked those who agreed to remain with him and defend the fort to the last to step over.a .line which he drew _on the- floor with the point of his sword. Every one, with the exception of a man named Ross, who made his es cape, stepped over the line to Travis. Bowie had to be lifted across the line. On March 8. Santa Anna stormed-the fort. The brave defenders were .over whelmed. : , After the siege- the Alamo was in ruins until. 1849. Wlien it was partly restored by Maj. Babbitt,' acting quar. ty master of the Eighth Military de partment, for offices and a storehouse, Texas having been admitted Into the Uniqn. It was thus .used until the Cfvil war when the Confederate forces took it over. After the war, tiie United States government again , used it until a quartermaster’s depot was built on Government hill. The stute afterward purchased the Alamo for $20,000. The Daughters of the Texas Republic have charge of the relics and ' mementos within its walls. They have put up bronze tab- lets containing the names of the 181 men who made the heroic stand. -The Daughters of the Republlc bought the ground, now inclosed by the vlnottovered arched walls' on the rIgbt of the Alamo and once a part' of the mission, for $75,OpO arid later sold it to the state for $65,000.

A Texas paper comments' as fol lows: “The preacher has a great time. If his hair is gray, he is old. If he is a young man. he hasn’t had experience If he has ten children, he has too many; if he has none, he isn't setting a good example If his wife sings in the choir, she is pre suming; if she doesn’t, she isn’t in- teres'ed in her husb ind’s work. If a preacher reads from notes, he is a bore; if he speaks extemporaneous- iy, he isn’t deep enough. If he stays at home in his study, he doesn’t mix enough with the people; if he is seen around the streets, he ought to be at home getting up a good sermon. If he cahs on some poor family, .he is playing to the grandstand; if he calls at the home of the wealthy, he is an artistocrat. W hat ever he does, some one could have told him to do better.” ___________ • In these days of paint and powder a rose is not the only thing that is born to blush unseen. You can’t fool a dog the second time rn the same bait, even if you can the man who buys “ wild cat” stocks.

He received replies from 51 clerks. 27 of whom statid they had badly, congested dockets. There -are 100 superior court cle: ks in tlie counties of the. state and only 27 claim their dockets are congested. Au elra term of court or some determined judge, who would force litigauts to. try their cases, would clear the dockets in 27 counties Lawyers in the state," who have studied the question, say ..there is unless possibly in large counties like M ecklenburg, Buncombe, Forsyth and W ake. The plea that the creation of new districts and appointment of more judges will save money to the fax pavers and litigants is an anomaly for it is well known that costs of a court to a couuty is stupendous and the courts the greater the cost'. Provide a system of procedure that will expedite- the business of the courts, and congested dockets will soon vanish.— Hickory Record. Prohibition agents seized 5,214 automobiles last year.
