W e have all th e s e y e a r s known of the T lio au sv ille institution, and the good w o rk it has been doing, but jpver b efo re have we had the good f ,rtm ie to e n te r the grounds and p ie b u ild in g s and see" how well epiipped ll,e institutions is. and how a d m ira b ly it is doiug its great work X earlv live hundred children are cared for in this institution. In ad­ dition the Baptist have another unit of this great work down near Kins'on. and there are several hut d- red children cared for. D uring the vears this orphanage has been in operation the managers have learn­ ed much about the care of the or pban child, how to lake care of him and how to best prepare him for a start in life; aud one cannot visit the grounds and se e . som e of tne tvidt nces of good work with- wit realizing -that to a large e x ­ tent that 10 a large exten t the I re 1! baptist denomination in that tiaic has learned much of the great task. Another very interesting lh iu g we learae l about this good work is that the Thomasville institution is doing some splendid work in a dif ferent way, that is in aid of the mother; helping the w orthy m other to keep her little flock ' at hom e, rear them there, w ith the best that a good mother can give and not pl.ic: them in the institution. It is a great and good work and w e are told that it is appealing to the great church and new lessons in the great work of human salvage is learned by practical application there. Some day the state will spend wisely and well large sum s of money 111 aiding good m others to rear her little fatherless brood to her own little home. T he Bap list are cariug for several hundred orphans this way just now , and they are pleased with it. It was a pleasure to spend the hour on the. grounds of this institution, and to listen to men of big heart and mind talk about the great work of caring for children, saving them of the hest service to society. Mr. M. L. Kesler, who has charge of the Thomasville institution, and his issociates, wnich includes A ich i bald Johnson, whom every N orth Carolina loves, are doing wonder htl things to make the liberal cou- t ibitiioti oi the great Baptist church go well along towards a hundred per ceut officieucy. It is a great institution and W ih Carolina has som ething like 2I ot these orphanages all of which are rich blessings to the state— Sal­ isbury Post. Be Kind To The* Income.

Rev. H arry Robert Car­ son, bishop of H aiti, visiting in A sheville, is.quoted by the-C itizen as saying that member of cotigres-' sional com m ittees and other mem- bers of the. Uuited States Congress who visit H aiti disgrace United States by their actions w hile there. Members of Congress who go to H aiti drink alm ost incessantly w hile there, declared the bi-hop. aud on leaving bring cases of w his­ key back to-the United States with them T he bishop deplored this conduct as "a sham e upon the Uiiited S tates.” W hich it is, if Congress really has a ‘‘good name. ’ ’ T h e inform ation' given bv the bishop w on’t surpise folks who keep - up w ith the congressional record in W ashington. Of course dot all Congressm en drink;* there are honest and law -abiding, people in Congress. But those who want to drink don’t go to H aiti to get it, unless they are very m uch slander ed. The bootleggers do business w ith the lawm akers w ithin the sa­ cred, precincts of the capital of the nation. That fact is pretty well known and seem ingly so well es tablisiied that it isn’t questioned. B ut nothing is done about it. The officials who go to H aiti aud other foreign countries and drink like fish, and then sm uggle liquor home w ith them in defiance of the law fhey helped enact, sim ply adver­ tise their hypocrisy an d —what is w orse— advertise their country as a hypocritical pretender in the mat­ ter of prohibition. .. But one doesu’t have to go to ■Washington to find that sort of business It can be found in Ral­ eigh. much in evidence during le­ gislative sittings and not absent at a ty tim e, according to reports that seem to be well founded. And the s im e thing can be found all about — in alm ost any county or corn nim iity. T he “great m ajority'of the folks are really in favor of pro-, hibitioii and the great m ajority obey tee law. But the notorious violations by prom inent citizens, and especially by officials, as in the case of the - Cengressm an, reflect upon the officials’uot only but up- 011 all their constituents . Blit so long as the sovereigns accept that Sort of tiling they are equal sharers ill the blame. —Statesville Daily. — Can't Get Rid of Former Sheriff.

R 44 TaJe BearersX In W ednesday’s Greensboro N ew s, under Clark’s Comments, we find an interesting discourse on T ale Bearing, which we believe beare reprinting,,- If there were a little more fines places here and there upon the limber, tongues of the rumor carriers, we are sure it would do much to dishearten this popular sport. “ Talebearers are as bad as tale- inakers,” the Georgia Court of A p­ peals declares, upholding a judg­ ment for $2 ,0 0 0 for> the repetition of slanderous remarks. Folks who are accustom ed, to passing, on IhiDgs they hear, regardless of whether the story is slanderous, .and about the-entire population is guilty of that practice at one time' Ot another, may be interested to know that they are not excusable for the repetition, if they are not excusable for the repetition, if the G eorgia court’s law -is good, aud it seem s reasonable. The repetition is really circulating the story, same as printing it in a newspaper, al­ beit the circulation is restricted. W hile comparative) v few people de lib„erately m anufacture libelous stories or circulate them with m a­ lice, those who pass them on, us­ ually under the pledge of secrecy, are as a m ultitude that can’t be numbered. T he impressiou with most people is that they are void of offence if thev repeat only what is told them. W hile the whisper­ ing and the repeated pledging to. secrecy is an admission that it isn’t the proper thing, that the story is contraband, so to speak,- the idea is if “ I gin it ter you as Jtwas gin to me, ’ there is no responsibility and little if any im properiety. The Georgia court, holding the. circu­ lation as bad as the originator, fol­ low s an ancient authority. Solo­ mon, who was accounted the.wisest man of bis time, had a good deal to say about tlie tale bearers. H e evidently didn’t'approve them. In fact from his remarks one m ight believe that they had’ pestered him 6y circulating reports about him. A ny-w ay, am ong other observations about this class of people Solo­ mon was moved toremark: "W here UoTvood is there-the fire goeth out: so where there is 110 tale-bearer, the strife ceaseth.” In otlitr words, if the tale maker can’t get his tales circulated, the damage will be sm all.” Wby The American Worker Jt Nht “Red.” JaraesJ Davis, Secretary of La­ bor declares, in- a article entitled. "W hy the American Workers IsN ot Redg' published in the April number of the National- Republic, that ope reason American workingmen is that tbe workers have “ a vital, material stake, a tremendous financial inter­ est in our industrial and commercial establishm ent” which Jhe radicals seek to overthrow. "It is clear to m e.” says Secretary Davis, deprived of the opportunity to lift hitnself a- bove the necessity of being a woker, when Atnercan wages, working con­ ditions and standards of living are debased and debaunched, when our capital ownership.-our savings bank deposits are wrested from the hands of the worker, when he no. longer holds a stake in the material ,.pros­ perity of the county—in other words when Amertca is no longer America -then-; and not until then, will thfe American worker embrace the theory aM 'practice of red' radical ism and communism ” Atiy free : citizen -can do as he pleases excep t'for his conscience, his wife,- bis landlord and the ueiglibofs.—Sau Francisco Chro incle. - vV ’ —1 - .

"Tlje bums who would harm girls afe the lowest varm ints in the world” says the Greensboro Pat­ riot, ’’out som ehow or other we fiiid it; hard to weep when we read that a young woman, or an old otie for that matter, has been mistreat­ ed by some bum while automobil- ing. with him '"The phiti truth is, a girl or womaii should not go riding pro­ m iscuously. . ‘ T n -several instances lately there have.been accounts of girls accus­ ing som e fellow of harming them while on an autom obile trip. One girl complained that she was forced to go', riding and and attacked. W hat we can’t understand is how a mail could go to a house where a girl ivas with her fam ily, and force her out of the. bouse. H ow could he force her to walk to the auto-, mobile,- with the fam ily there? How could he force, her to get in the automobile? "W e fear that some ride for plea­ sure,, just to be riding, and tlieu the fellow insults them . ■ M aybe they haven’t known him long. TJiey do not know whether lie is man or beast. They don’t kuow anything about him. AU they know is that lie had an autom obile and can drive it. ' Pleasure calls— the dish wash- iugyw aits, or Ma can attend to them.

If she just m ust ride she ought to take a gun along.” Two Kinds of Differences. In discussing the present situation of the Democratic party. Fraqjtlin D Roosevelt, one of the illustrious leaders.of the parrty attributes the public belief in the disorganizrtion of the Democracy to Republican pro­ paganda, including a vast majority of the big newspapers < f the c„ur.- try which he says are painting ‘lurid pictures of Democratic discord ” “ As a matter of fact” Mr. Roose velt states, “ most of this so called discord relates to local or personal matters as distinguished f tom ra­ tional ^principles The R“publicat, nai ty has within its rank and die fat more true discord in that they dif t’er among themselves on matters of basic principles.” It may be that the Democratic discord is not so great as reported and it is doubtless true that Demo­ cracy will get together in time to put up a good in 1926 and 192S' This is as it should be, foi^ two active well organized parties are necessary' to the' welfare and progress of tbe country. . B u tisisn o t generally tjue. that differences of opinion on principals are more disastrous than personal differences. As a m atter of fact there is always more or less parly difference in application of basic principals, in both major organiza­ tions. and unless there, is a grave national crises and a situation which actually sffects the fortunes of the Voters in general, these differences are rarely are serious. More often personal factionalism are fatal t party-success. This has been the case both with Republicans and De mocrats in the past and-doubtless will be in the future.

Davie Farmer Captared Whole Red Fox Family. Twin-City Sentinel. Paul M iller, well known resident of Davie county, living near Farm­ ington, has started into the fox raising business, quite without his own volition. H e has gotten, a good start in the busihess with ten fed foxes, all of his ow n .' Sor far Mr. Miller has refused several hundred dollars for the collection, but for the life of him he does not kffow what he will do with them Mr. Miller was out with several fox hounds on his property when the hounds jum ped a,red fox. The animal soon found a whole in the ground and dived for safety. Mr. Miller dug her out and as she offer­ ed no resistence he easily captured her alive The search was then started for the den of young ones. W ith his dogs he set out. The hounds,easily found the den aud after a little digging Mr. .M iller found one baby red tox. This he brouglu to the mother, who receiv­ ed it jovfully. but did not seem to be satisfied. Becoming convinced i>v the action of m other fox that there should be more he went a- gain anrl discovered two more. Still the mother did not ■ seem satisfied, so the next ;morning Mr. Miller again visited the den. On t iis trip he noticed the remains of several rabbits. W hile digging at the den Mr. Miller was surprised to see an old male fox trotting to­ ward him, bearing in his m outh one of his own chicktns. T he fox seemed at first to have not the least tear and came to with'in a few spac­ es of Mr. M iller before dropping the chicken an.l scampering away away in the brush. Renewing his search Mr. Miller canie upon the main den and there discovered five baby fox Mother fox w ith her eight were placed in a cage in the corn crib for the night. This way Monday. N ext morn­ ing Mr. Miher was surprised to find on com ing to the cortV crib an old male fox inside of the corn crib aud lying down in front of his his mate’s cage." Old dad fox showed neither-fright or fight, and was easily captured and placed in the cage with his mate and her lit­ tle ones. T he strangest part of it all is that Mr. Miller affirms that the male fox captured is not the one he eiicounted in the. woods Mon­ day attending die young, for that one had a white chest and this one is solid red.

O n e a c h s t r i j ,p la c e seasoned bread c r u m b s mix with a little onion and a grating of lemon peel, chopped salt pork and bits of the. veal cut when trimming. f Roll up and skewer with toothpicks or tie with twine. Place in a hot frying pan and brown well all over in butter. Now add a cupful of rich njilk and let sim­ mer for a half hour or. more. Serve with mashed potatoes and the gravy from the pan. Graham Pudding.—Take one-hali cupful of molasses, one-half teaspoon­ ful of soda, one-quarter of a teaspoon­ ful of cloves, four tablespoonfuls ol butter, one cupful of chopped raisins, one-half teaspoonful of cinnamon,' one and one-half cupfuls of graham flour, one-half cupful T)f milk, one egg, one teaspoonful of salt. Mix all the In? gredients, adding the raisins after steaming them. Turn into a; buttered mold and steam two and' one-hali hours. Serve In any desired sauce.

Fried Crumbed Lamb.—Take thin slices of uncooked lamb, or thinly sliced rare roast beef, dip into sea­ soned egg, then to to crumbs and fry in deep fat or in a small amount of butter. Ordinary Good Things; For those who have the heavy meal at noon, supper dishes are quite im­ portant. When the noon meal has been a meatless dinner, for supper try this : Ham and Potato Scallop.—Cut one and one-fourth pounds of ham in­ to serving sized pieces. Parboil three cupfuls of sliced potatoes, put them in layers with ham in a buttered bak­ ing dish and cover each layer with a medium white sauce, using one and one-half cupful of the sauce, one and one^half cupfuls of milk and three tablespoonfuls of flour and the same of butter, cooked together; one-half teaspoonful of snlt.

FASHION FAVORS ADORNMENT: TOTS’ FROCKS OF ENGLISH PRINT T 1S s *s ^le ^ay of the trimmed hat Fashion maintains a preference for simple lines in all kinds'of apparel, 'osistently for adornment— ■ 8 trend is more apparent In Ilinery t^an U is anywhere else. B*en the utility hat refuses to take i.f., ?ston serIousIy and indulges In little frivolities of trimming, so that w® s°metimes alniost fail to recognize a tailored hat when we meet It on the street. tsbcn w^*1' tailored hats have * u->uj, me aesigns in tnese pnnt ,0 P o sin g colors In becomingexpress all the quaintness and charm of hair braid about its brim edge to its adornment of ribbon and small flowers. Just about now two kinds of moth­ ers are planning little daughter’s tub-frocks for play time, school time and summer time to come, namely, those who choose to buy their chil­ dren’s dresses “ready made,” and those whose joy anl pride it is to make them them selves.To either “quaint English prints” ofTer a timely word of advice. Firstly, the designs in these prints t Some Tailored Hats. shades tliat have gone a long way. toward displacing black and very dark tones. Navy blue never was som­ ber and will hold its own, but the pop­ ular demand id for light colors in mil­ linery. Lanvin and' nile green, blues, In the bluet and other medium shades; castllian red, fuchsia, sand, oak, tan and blond tones, henna, pablo (a warm sand shade) and orchid are depended on to redeem a dark dress or suit from the commonplace. Even black hats have white or colored fac­ ings, which add much to their be- eoiningness. The hat at the top of the group pic­ tured is made of senorita satin and has a soft crown almost covered with violets. Wide satin ribboD, bound with braid, forms two. deep folds about the bat. They are split at the front, where two little braid ornaments are placed, and finished with two loops at of childhood; secondly, they come In colors as lovely as flowers in spring­ time; thirdly, their assurance of per­ fect laundering is not lightly to be overlooked. " If one chooses “to' buy” rather than "to make.” a visit to juvenile shops and departments will impress one with the preponderance of English print dresses for children as displayed. They are shown In every conceivable color and styling. The cunning little “panty frock” in the picture is an il­ lustration of the adorable models to be had for the buying. This frock of English print is obtainable in almost any color, but the one photographed happened to Jie a bright clear yellow with a tiny wkiite and deep orange fig­ ure. AU its edges are piped with or­ ange yellow percale, the pocket show­ ing an inset of same. Of course there is smocking about the neck,- for that Piquant Frock. the side.. Below this hat, at the^left, is one of those popular models In -which a felt or, braid crown Is mounted on a~ silk-covered brim. Tueked- silk and- small silk flowers, used In bands, Illus­ trate what milliners calf “tailored ef­ fects" in a flower trim.

The bat of straw aind silk; at the center of the group, adds * flenge m m Is what everybody Is doing this , sea­ son, lavishing smocking on tiny tots’ dresses. Far-seeing mothers will welcome the suggestion mat' it is tfie better, part of economy and good faste to buy several lengths In various, colors, with a view to making up a munber of these little frocks for idaily. utility wear..

He thought at first that it was a piece of glass reflecting the sun’s rays but decided to examine it because of its brilliancy. He was surprised and highly delighted to find that it was a diamond which has since been valued at more than 550,000. It is thought to be larger than tiie famous Estrella do Sul dia­ mond, one of the largest and most valuable ever found in Brazil. The diamond fields of Minas Gereas; of which this city is the capital, are among the largest and most valuable in the world. But most of the Bra­ zilian diamonds are purchased by the South African companies and are mar­ keted as Soutli African diamonds. WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND For raany yeara^ druggists have watch­ ed with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine.

It is sold by all druggists on its merit and /it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends. Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start . treatment, at once. ‘ However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

For many years after incubators came into general practice they were not used for the hatching of geese, but they, have gradually come into use wliere geese are raised in large num­ bers. The general requirements for successful incubation of hen's eggs are needed lin hatching geese eggs. In addition the majority of operators be­ lieve that they, require more drying out in the early part of the hatch and more cooling than lien’s eggs. • ■" Required Temperature. - The temperature required does not need to be so high- but ,no change needs to be made in this regard if the eggs are given more cooling. During the last part, of tlie hatch it Is gen­ erally necessary to supply moisture. Some advocate dipping the eggs, others sprinkling and others supplying the moisture to the machine. One of the main reasons for the need of addi­ tional moisture at that time is so that the sliell and membranes yvill not stick to the gosling when it is trying’ to get out of the shell. Some adjustments will need to be made in the thermometer as the thick­ ness of the geeSe eggs will place them higher in the incubator and therefor in a slightly higher temperature unless an allowance is made for it. An inch hi height will usually make a differ­ ence of a degrqe In the temperature. Hatch Slow Under Hens. Goslings will hatch out slower un­ der hens or in an incubator than under geese. However, where attention is paid to proper cooling of the eggs and a proper supply of moisture, there should be no trouble'in getting a suc­ cessful hatch. The beginner will some­ times become uneasy over this delay In getting out of the shell and attempt to help the goslings. This should not be done except in occasional cases where one or more goslings are much later-than the others In hatching. Even then extreme care should be taken in removing the shell bit by bit and stopping at the least indication of bleeding. Usually the bird that cannot get out of the shell is not worth saving and if the goslings are given plenty of time and are supplied with mois­ ture so that the material of the shell will not stick to the body, the big ma­ jority will come out successfully. W id e M ark et O p en ed fo r C ap o n s o f H ig h Q u ality On the Eastern market buyers are bidding from 30 to 35 cents per pound for capons. This opens up a wide market for breeders of heavy chick­ ens. Capons are making strong com­ petition for turkeys on many of the markets- on account of the high qual­ ity of their meat.' Then, too, some consumers wimt a larger bird than the ordinary1-fowl. The capon’ is more easily raised on most farms than turkeys. The birds grow rapidly and the caponizing op­ eration is not difficult to learn. The instruments can be purchased from $2.50 up, depending largely upon how much nickel plating there Is on the in­ struments. -The cheaper sets will do the work in a satisfactory manner and will last if they are given proper at­ tention. A capon will usually grow two pounds heavier than if left in the nat­ ural state. The selling price is con­ siderably stronger so. that the total re­ turns are generally from three to four times that, of ordinary cockerels sold on the market.. There does not seem to be much danger of an oversupply of capons, so that it forms a market outlet that a good- many breeders should seriously consider. Pure Bred Animals Not Prone to T. B. O ne B reed Is a s S u scep tib le as A n o th er. (Prepared by the Oiilted States Department ,of Agriculture.) j There is no relation between the breeding’ of cattle and their suscep­ tibility to tuberculosis; One breed Is uq susceptible as another, and grades are as likely to become Infected as pure breds. These are conclusions of veterinary specialists df the bureau of animal in­ dustry, United States Departmetnt of Agriculture, based bn several years’ experience in eradicating bovine tuberculosis. In support of the con­ clusion the bureau veterinarians have compiled a large number of statistics arranged according to the various breeds and whether the animals are pure breds or grades. I From July I, 1921, to April I, 1924, tuberculin tests were applied to 1,424,- 302 pure bred cattle, of which 4.7 per cent were found" to be tuberculous. During the same period 4,456,439 grade cattle were subjected to the test, of which 4.8 per cent reacted. Among the pure bred and grade cattle representing the various breeds the federal specialists have been able to. find ho evidence that. any breed is more susceptible or resistant than any other. These conclusions apply to large groups representing conditions for the entire country. It is well known that certain localities have more Infection than others, but the management of cattle, extent of buy­ ing and selling without paying proper attention to health, the control of sani­ tary conditions, and the individual re-, sistance of the animals appear to be the principal factors that determine the degree of infection. Breeding ap­ parently has nothing to do V1Ith the extent of tuberculosis. F o w ls N eed P ro te in to E e e p on P ro d u cin g E ggs Many farm flocks get little or no protein in the winter and as: a result are overfat and make a poor produc­ tion. Fqrm liens are often given a whole carcass to feed in one month -and no meat the next. As a result they are thrown out of condition1 and often are poisoned by spoiled meat. There are three ways in which ani­ mal protein can be secured. A steady supply Is essential. Rabbitss-Or dead farm animals when available can be cooked, and ground or chopped up, dried and put in a box where hens can eat when they want. Skim milk or buttermilk can be put to no more prof­ itable use on the farm than In produc­ ing winter eggs. Where a box of meat or a supply of milk are available all of the. time, it may not be necessary to put meat scraps In, the mash, but if there is-a shortage of these it will pay to buy meat scraps.'

They give their maximum crop of fruit the second season after planting, though they will give more or less fruit for several years; but after the first crop, the berries, are likely to be small. - In the fall after the ground is about ready to "freeze a mulching of bean straw, clover hay or some other kind of straw should ,be applied, to give some protection during the winter -and keep the fruit clean at bearing time. The mulch should not be applied very heavy, however. Strawberry plants may also be set out in -August- if good plants can be secured and provided the ground is not too dry to get them started. But August planting will not give as much fruit the next year after, setting as will the plants set out In the spring. M an y F a rm e rs O v erlo o k P o ta to P a tc h in S p rin g Many farmers forget their potato patch until the weeds "force them to give the crop a thorough working with the ordinary cultivators. By this time the weeds have secured?uch a foothold that: they will be a trouble throughout the season and if there have been rains, the soil has become hard and, crusted. To prevent this, and to start the young plants off right, our best growers are cultivating their potatoes immediately after the field is planted with an ordinary weeder or a spike- tooth harrow with the teeth inclined backward so as to prevent - dragging out of theseed pieces and later the young plants. Tliis practice is usually followed until the rows can be plainly seen across the field, when the only deep close cultivation is given. P riceIQ u ite Im p o rta n t - In C a ttle F e e d V e n tu re Tfie cost of gains alone does not de­ termine profit in cattle feeding. Sell­ ing price is equally important. Selling price, is determined very. largely by finish,, hence the problem of the feeder to produce as much .gain and its rapid gains as possible as cheaply as possible. Most gains cost more than is necessary, but • on the-other hand the cheapest gains are not necessarily the most profitable. -This emphasizes the complexity . of the cattle-feeding business and tjie absolute necessity of using definite''Information, relative to, the comparative feeding value of dif­ ferent feeds and how they may be combined to make the most profit in a, cattle-feeding venture.

Ing poultry houses and coops, large quantities of poultry contaminated with the odor-have been received at some of the ”big markets. The bureau of animal industry; United-States, De­ partment of Agriculture,-has received complaints from handlers of market poultry who have suffered heavy losses because of ,-the., unsalability of tainted fowf, one large firm reporting a loss of $ 1 0 , C O O "on. four cars. Because of the appearance of Euro­ pean fowl pests in certain parts of the country,, farmers throughout the East and Middle West, through fear of this disease, have been doing much more disinfecting than-usual. In many instances chemicals' with strong and offensive odors have bemv used, many of them not In the list approved by the department, and In some cases the results have been aggravated by the failure to dilute ,the product. Birds kept in Iiouses so treated, or shipped in crates reeking with the odors, ab­ sorb them into their; "bodies, where they remain after the birds have been killed and dressed. It is thought that another source of the contamination in dressed birds may have been feed on which the chemicals, have been sprayed. When such penetrating odors are present in the disinfectant used the birds should not be-marketed with­ in less than two weeks of the-time It was used and then not in crates re-i cently so. treated. Coops and poultry houses should al­ ways be thoroughly cleansed before disinfecting. A good plan is where possible to scrub the interior with hot Iye solution or scalding hot water. Such cleaning solutions: are themselves good disinfectants. If scalding hot water. is not available, the coops may be disinfected with a 4 per cent solu­ tion of formaldehyde. While this dis­ infectant has a very pungent, disagree­ able smell, the. odor soon disappears, if the poultry are marketed for sev­ eral weeks a three per cent solution of compound solution of creosol or a product of sirrffiar eorapos'.ton may be employed. Any--coal tar disinfectant is apt to leave an odor which will gradually disappear.^ , Many cheap products are now being sold in response to the unusual de­ mand which has arisen since the ap­ pearance of the fowl pest. In certain sections peddlers are taking advantage of the situation and are going to the farms with a great variety of cheap disinfectants, sometimes doing the work for the farmer. Soule of them are selling strong smelling by-products from local gas plants. The department ,wishes to encourage efforts at disease prevention, even though much, of this work is being done in^reglons far removed from any point where fowl pest/has been found, but urges farmers to use the above- riientioned methods, which -will not leave a taint in the fowls when offered to the consumer."

He fried to take her hand. "Joyce, if I did lie to you, it was only because I love you. God, think of the years I’ve loved you, Joyce! I've given all my life to the hope of winning you. Isn’t a woman touched, by the thought of that? , AU that I've’ ever done, since that day when I first 5» you in your father’s house, has been for you. And now .I’ve got you, and you tell me you will never—” He was pressing toward her, but she held the dagger pointed at him, and be stopped, afraid of the look in , her eyes. “Joyce, don’t be foolish. Put that knife away. What do you mean to dor' “Kill you and then myself, if you lay a hand on me again. I’ve told you I shall never live with you.” “By heaven, I'll kill him if you go to Iiim I" “I shall not go to him. That is why I sent him away. I shall go away alone." “Joyce, listen to sense. Do you realize that you are my wife? That I can hold you by force, and there is no law In the dominion to prohibit me, and no tnan who would not ap­ prove? Joyce, be sensible.. If you’re still In love with this man, Anderson, I'm Milling to wait till you’ve forgot­ ten him a little. Lord, I’ve waited long enough for you! But' I’ll wait longer if I have to. “Don't yon see how foolishly you're acting," he pleaded. “Ddn’t you realize bow much better off you’re going to be Mltli a husband who is rich and de­ voted to you? Your father never took a penny out of that mine all these years. There must be a liundred thou­ sand dollars' worth of gold dust there -perhaps u million. Can’t you see the old hoy working night after night like a heaver, to make you and me rich?" And he threw back his head and ut­ tered his hyena laugh again. But Joyce said nothing at all, and be added: "I suppose you knbw it all belongs Io me, as your husband, under the law, and that if you leave me you don't get a penny of it?" “Well?" , *: “"ell?

He hasn’t told the secret to me, and I don’t want to know.” ’ An extraordinary look ''-Came over Rathway’s face, the look of the fox, the ,wolverene. He seemed to reflect and suddenly he pounced. .In an instant lie had gripped Joyce by the arms, imprisoning the hand that held the knife. AVith a .laugh he tore the hand open, took out the knife, and thrust it into his belt. He strained the girl against him. “I’ve had.enough of this nonsense, iiiy dearie!” he cried triumphantly. “You’re tgoing to make 'that lover of yours tell you the secret of the mine. You’ll do it when you’ve learned to love me. And, by-heaven, I’m going to make you!”. She screamed and beat furiously at his face, impotent in his grasp. They wrestled to ami fro. - So violent was the girl’s resistance that for a moment “Joyce, Don’t ,-Be .Foolish. Put That Knife Away. What Do You Mean to Do?” r or two she held Rathway at bay, beat­ ing her fists, in his face again and again, and drawing blood from his nose and lips. The fury of her resistance only made her the more desirable in his eyes. He held her fast now, her arms forced to her sides again, his bloodshot eyes leering into hers, his black beard sweeping her cheek. In the room they had taken at the rear of the house the three men, who were drinking and playing cards, hear­ ing the girl’s screams and the sounds of the struggle, burst into mirth, and came tiptoeing along the passage. Joyce, making one final, desperate effort, broke once more out of Rath- way’s arms, burst through the door, and ran screaming along, the passage. She got the front door open. “Lee! Lee! Come to me!" she cried 'n/wlld abandonment. Then Rathway’s arms closed about her from behind, and Joyce ceased to struggle. . ' . C H A P T E R X V I J o y c e o r a G o ld M in e Lee did not go as far as the forest, which loomed out of the distance be­ yond the ridges of broken ground. He waited, sdrne little distance away, un­ til the priest’s sleigh had goiie. Then he went quietly back toward the log house. Lights burned inside. A strip of cloth had been pinned before the win­ dow of the largest room—the one In which Lee had camped with Joyce for a brief hour upon that qfternoon of •heir arrival. This was the room that Lee had .selected in liis mind for their oc.cupancy during their brief honey­ moon. ■ But not the least spasm twisted Lee’s face at the realization, that an­ other had supplanted him in tiriit re­ lationship with Joyce. There are some phases of emotion so tense that they appear to neutralize themselves b y ' destroylng their - own manifesta­ tions. Lee’s expression showed not the. smallest deviation from ' the normal now It was quiet, dispassionate, and verv cold. Softly Lee approached the window and, stooping, looked Between Jhe frame and the curtain of cloth, v The window on this side had a piece missing out of the comer, and over the little gap some one had pasted _a piece of paper. With the barre olI his rifle Lee quietly made a small-hole 10Fmm them he could mtch glimpses of the two figures: He- heardtbeIr Voices. He was In no hurry He w a waiting tlll .thev chose to Snleh tnetr conversation. Then, In due tlme. Ratk Way WOUld Stand In a tne wW fl t? sights ,and he would make an end Of h Altd the wild turmoil ln Lee1S heari seemed divorced from b is brain, which, rem ained Impassive and cold and steady as the frlece of mechanism , tils bands. - Rathway’s voice grew louder. Lee saw the hunched figure gesticulating, the sneer on Rathway’s face. Lee drew a bead. He might as well end the business after all. But before Lee’s finger tightened on the trigger, a hand upon his shoulder made him leap to his feet and start up, his rifle clubbed, ready to- strike.’ He thought Rathway’s men had sur­ prised him. . ' But to his amazement it was a woman standing at his side; then in that cioaked and hooded figure that confronted him he r'ecognized—Estelle once more. She looked at him fixedly; she was deeply, agitated, and caught at her breath before she was able to find her voice. “You fool!” she exclaimed bitterly. ‘‘You fool! You had her in your hands and you let Jim Rathway take her away from you! You couldn’t hold herf—and now I come upon you to find you planning a cold-blooded cowardly murder—you, a policeman!” At that something broke In Lee’s heart. The realization of the act he planned came over him. He would have killed Rathway as heedlessly as any bloodthirsty forest beast. But Es­ telle’s reference to the police touched his pride. He let the rifle drop, grounding the' butt. - * “Listen to what I’ve got to tell you, Lee. I love him. Do you understand that? I suppose you think it’s not my nature to love. But it is! Itw asyou who couldn’t hold my love. I hated and despised you. I never knew how much I loved James Rathway till I found out how much J hated you that morning when you came to our camp and struck him down so treacherously. “Oh, yes, I have love and passion, and constancy in my nature," Lee An­ derson. It was only you who couldn’t draw them out!” Her voice was vibrant, ,hoarse with passion. “That girl will make a fool of you too, Lee Anderson, j-ystf as I did,” she cried. “You’d be made a fool of any­ where, by any woman!” But her words passed Lee by like the wind. “I could have killed you that morn­ ing, as I could kill you now, only—I love James Rathway. And he’ll love’ me again when you take this new at­ traction away out of his sight, where he can’t find her. I thought you’d got away—but here' you are, back again with her, and ail the work’s got to be done over again. “I was crouching near, and I over­ heard your dialogue, you and she, and the priest, and James Rathway. • You gifve her Upr -Uie woman you love— because she’d stood up before the altar with the man she hated and called herself his. wife. I’d hold the woman I loved, were I a man, against God Himself, and all His cohorts! “Oh, if only I could find words to hurt you, Lee Anderson, to pierce that tough skin of yours! But I haven’t time. Listen to me, now! You don’t have to commit murder to get her. Yoii fool, you blind fool, shall I tell you?” She laughed with taunting menace. “Shall I tell you, Lee Anderson?” she repeated. And suddenly came the sound of Joyce, screaming within the house. There came the noise of a struggle. JBven as Lee tutted, Joyce was run­ ning along the passage toward the door. Instantly Estelle glided away into the shadows. Joyce flung the door open; and then Rathway caught her from behind and swung her back toward him. His black beard hung over her face. . “Lee! Lee! Come to me!” Joyce ceased to struggle. !‘Here!” answered Lee, and dashed his fists into Rathway’s face, sending him staggering. - Rathway howled and felt for his pistol.' Lee was upon him, pinioning his arms to his sides, before he could draw it But Rathway’s men- came hurrying along the passage. In an in­ stant- there was a furious melee. Lee tripped'over a leg thrust out, fell heav­ ily upon his back, and struggled In vain under the weight of his four ad­ versaries. Quickly he was reduced to helpless­ ness, his limbs held firmly. Momentar­ ily he ceased to struggle, nursing his strength for a more violent effort.' He looked up into, the grinning faces, at RatHway1 standing oyer him, leer­ ing, - arms outstretched, gasping for breath a n d consciousness. Rathway pulled his pistol and cov­ ered Lee. ' “Pierre! Shorty! Kramer! You’re witnesses, that you- saw this man s p y i n g outside ,this house-’ * They assented- Pierre grinned, Shorty swore, spat, and scowled, and Lee saw the half-healed -scar of his pistol butt upon his cheek. “You saw him assault me,” Rathway continued. 1 “Well, Andersofi, I guess If I choose to shoot you like .the dog you are, the law wouldn’t haVe giucli to say about It. But I’ll be reasonable. Get back to your quarters!” he snarled to his aides, and the three1 men in .surprise released Lee find went down the, passage. ' , Lee leaped to his feet, confronting Rathway resolutely, but puzzled. Rath- wav held him covered. . “You must want my wife .mighty bad ‘to come back like a. fox at might In the, hope of picking her up under my nose, Anderson,” said Bathway. “Well, I’m a business man, and I guess anyone can get most anything he wants if he wants it bad-enough to be willing to pay the price fir. it. Maybe you can get her at the price, Anderson! , ' • “Pelly’s gold mine belongs to me under -the law. She tells me you’ve found it and “are holding the secret of i f All right The price is Pelly’s gold mine. The woman for the mine. “What 'd’you say to that Anderson?” Rathway was trembling with eager­ ness. 1T was willing to overlook , the past and take her back, but if she doesn’t-want me and does want you, I guess I can’t hold her against her will. So I’m ready to take my mine instead and close the bargain. What d'you say to it, Anderson?” Lee suspected some trick, but the anxiety on Rathway’s face, the trem­ bling tones, of his voice showed.: that his avarice was a stronger passion ^lipn that for Joyce. And, despite the vileness of the proposal, Lee realized that in no other way could Joyce be saved. He knew that even then Rathway was contemplating treachery, but there' was nothing else to do. If he refused. Rathway, would shoot him in cold blood—and the law would justify him. “I must speak to Miss PelIy first.” ■ “There’s no Miss Pelly here,” Rath­ way snarled. “If you mean Mrs. Rath- way, you can have five minutes’ talk with her to make up your mind. And if you don't accept, or try any tricks on me, by heaven, it’s your last minute!’’ Lee nodded, tool; Joyce by the arm, and drew her inside the’room. Rath­ way stood in the doorway, covering him with his pistol, but Lee quietly closed the door on him, and Rathway accepted the situation. Lee went back to the girl. “Joyce! Joyce, darling!” “Oh, Lee, I can’t bear it. I thought I could, but it’s impossible. Oh, take me away, Lee! Help me now, as you offered to help me on the range, though we cgn never be anything to each other. Take me somewhere to safety, where I need never see that man again, or think of him, or of this place, or—or ever remember anything of the past.” She clung to him, sobbing In terror and loneliness. Lee, holding her, raised her hands to his lips. "Joyce,, dearest, I’ll do as he pro­ poses, then. I’ll show him the mine, and then I’ll take you away somewhere south, Where you need never think of him or of this place again. And if that wretched marriage can’t be an­ nulled, I’ll be contented to be 'your brother for the rest of our lives, dear." He flung the door open. Rathway was standing uneasily behind it, and Lee felt' pretty sure that he had been trying to listen with his ear to the ill- fitting jamb! • “I've decided to accept your propo­ sition, Ratliway," said Lee. “The terms are these; I guarantee nothing as to the mine; merely to conduct you to the place where PelIy worked for gold. I’ll show' you the secret e%- trance. ■ This lady will accompany us, and-you will leave your men behind. And we’ll go unarmed.” “But I - shall carry Mr. Anderson’s pistol,” Joyce interposed ealiqjy, “and W "Hereln Answered Leer and Dashed \ His Fists Into Rathway’s Face,.Send- ' ing Him Staggering. V-'Y- I shall see that the terms.are fairly cari'ied' Out.”, , Rathway shot, a look of hatred at her. “I’ve no' objection to that, either,” he answered, shrugging bis shoulders nonchalantly. “At sunrise, then—” Lee began. At sunrise?, God, man, do you sup­ pose I’m going to wait till sunrise?” shouted Rathway: ’ He took off his belt containing his pistol, and laid It On the floor. “We’-il start at once.” Lee handed-Joyce'his plstbl, then, going into the room, extinguished the candle,- brought it out, and slipped it into his. jpockef, and the thrge' set out immediately, JThen tidy reached .the rocking stone Lee looked back, scan­ ning 'the1 country carefully In case pathway's Mded were -following .them, He had expected-treachery, but it was quite'impossible'for any spy to. ap­ proach neat enough to discover the entrance- under the stone without be­ ing observed, as Rathway had hint. self discovered ' during bis years of fruitless effort to follow old Pelly ; nnd there was nij sign of the three. It occurred to Lee, besides, that Rathway was not-likely .to wish; the entrance to the mine to be known to any of his aides. , ,Rathway was looking upeasily about him. “It’s in the gorge, then?” he muttered. And, throwing off * all pre­ tense of concealment, “There's no way down. .I’ve walked round and round' the d—d place a thousand times.” Lee tilted back, the ktone and showed Rathway the hole beneath it. • Rath­ way stared at it In amazement, utter­ ing an oath as the stone came back into position. “I shall go. first,” Lee said, “and light the candle. Miss Pelly—” Rathway muttered, but Lee could not bring himself to call her by the man’s name —“will please follow me. You, Rath­ way, will come' last.”' Lee pushed, the stone back, lay down on the ground, and, after show­ ing the,girl how to elevate it. from be­ neath, descended. When his feet were. In the first rung of the ladder, he Ut the' candle. In a moment Joyce ap­ peared, ‘and then Rathway behind her, clinging to the opening and looking down "With uneasy suspicion. “Hold tight to the rocks,” Lee called. “It’s slippery, and if you lose your hold there’s a deadly drop below.’’. He led the way down, shifting the candle from huhd to hand alternately as he descended, to illuminate the way for Joyce, until he reached the bottom orifice. Then he began slowly to com­ plete the descent, instructing Joyce where to put her hands and feet, guid­ ing her, and bracing himself against the cliff, ready to sustain her weight in case of a slip. However, all three reached the floor of the gorge without accident. ■' . . Rathway muttered, looking about him. In the moonlight -Lee saw tha£ he was dripping with perspiration. He was trembling with excitement. Lee said eight fatal words: “The rock marks the entrance to the tunnel.” Rathway looked'at it-and nodded. “I had some difficulty In finding it before,” Lee added. He turned to the girl. “Joyce dear, I’m going to show Rathway something that I think it would be better for you not to see. Will you wait where you -are for a few minutes? We won’t go out of your sight.” \ - “Very well, Lee,” the girl answered quietly. She. bad understood what Lee meant Immediately. Lee took Rathway - through the laurel tangles and showed him Peliy’s remains. He showed him the initials on the handle of the revolver. Rathway stood dumbly, staring at the skeleton. He was trembling even more violently than before. . “He must nave fallen from the dlff,” said Lee, Indicating the broken bones. -“Aye, but where’s your proof that it’s Pelly ?’’ Rathway burst Out sud­ denly. “Why, man, there Isn’t-a court In the land would admit that skeleton as proof that Pelly Was dead. That’s as like as not the body of his Indian, carrying Pelly’s revolver.” Lee obeyed the Instinct hot to tell Rathway that Leboeuf was alive. * “Besides,” Rathway went on, “as for 0. P.—Well, that might mean anything, Charles Patrick, or Clarence Peel. There used to be a Clarence Peel In this district AVho disappeared. I swear that’s the truth, Anderson. Any old- timer will tell you that-I’m not lying to you: N-no, Anderson, you can't prove that’s the body of old Pelly, just from fbose initials.” ' — . Lee wonderedi at'Rathway’s, agita­ tion. The man seemed quite beside himself. He twined his fingers in his black beard, and shambled away 'with his peculiar hunched slouch.' Lee led him to the cross above the little grave. “I .think that’s proof,” he Said quietly. But Rathway,, clenching and un­ clenching his fistvsaid nothing.' Lee went back, calling Joyce, and they proceeded in the direction of the cave. Lee pointed out the pans and, cradle, and the proofs of dynamiting. N- “Aye, but the gold—where's the goid?” Rathway demanded. “I have seen none,” answered, Lee, “and, if'you remember, I made, no guarantee as to it.” “How do I know, you haven’t taken it away?” Rathway. shouted. “Aye, you may have stolen my gold as you stole my wife. You' may be planning to tfike my wife, and my gold away togelher,” Lee -looked at him in amazement, for Rathway was nearly crazed by some passion, probably, Lee thought, the anti cipatiom of obtaining the treas­ ure of old Peliy. “I’ve taken no gold and I’ve seen none,” he answered. “I must again remind you of our agreement,. Rath­ way.”, • . ' Rathway pulled himself together with an effort. “Aye, that’s all right,” He' answered. “This looks like Pelly’s mine. Let’s look Inside. Have' you been inside, Anderson?” .. . “I've only explored .the 'entrance,” Lee answered,’ “I brought no candle with me last time I was here.” :. Y Relighting the. candle, he preceded. Rathway Within. The sound of the distant roaring' came immediately- to their'ears. By the candle light Lee saw; fresh footprints . on the sands.. They . were , made by a m§n wearing moccasins,, no doubt Leboeuf. He did. not call Rathway’s attention to them, and Rathway, absorbed with bis eager­ ness to' find the treasure, noticed noth­ ing. Lee wondered, however, what the Indian had been dolhg in the.cavern. n e t B E C O N T I N U B D . ) Sayt the Deacon Never jpind about '‘genius,” my son.

METHODIST FUUI WILL INVEST $250,000 IN TWENTY* THREE STORY METHODIST ’ TEMPLE. New York.—John D. Rockefeller, Jr., a Baptist, agreed to Invest $250,- 000 in the Broadway Temple, a sky­ scraper project of the Methodist Epis­ copal church, provided the remainder of the bonds to be sold to complete the project be disposed of by Jnne I. The, structure, a combination sky­ scraper church, apartment house ,and business building, is to cost $4,000,- 000. , Leaders in the project said-the finan­ cier's promise of investment assured success, as only $400,000 worth of bonds remained to be sold. Announcement of Mr. Rockefeller's investment was made V a bankers’ club luncheon to whose chairman he made known his porposal in a letter in which he said that the Broadway Temple "gives promise of being a real contribution to the solution of the problem of the ‘city church.’ "Not only will the structure domi­ nate the surrounding buildings, as re­ ligion should dominate all human achievements,” Rockefeller wrots, "but this type of structure, because convertible entirely into business uses if necessary, renders far safer, in the days of constantly changing city life, the large investment involved. An­ other feature is that the building is to be financed largely on bond and mort- ,gage, with an assured return in inter­ est, instead of through direct gifts.” Broadway Temple is designed to be 23 stories high, surmounted by a tower on which will be a revolving cross, to be illuminated at night. It will be erected at Broadway and 173rd street, o.n the highest elevation in Manhatton and its lighted cross will be visible throughout the greater city. FIVE ROBBERS ROUTED BY CAFE PATRONS. New York. — Wielding chairs, dish'es and silverware, 75 men pat­ rons in the Cafe de L'Europe, in Second Avenue, routed five armed robbers who fired six shots before making their escape. They left ■four injured victims in fighting their way to freedom 'with black­ jacks and revolver butts.' The rob­ bers escaped with money and jew­ elry estimated to total $3,000, in­ cluding approximately $2,500 from the cafe cash register.

( Washington.—Discussing transpor­ tation problems, particularly those of increasingly congested cities, Presi­ dent Coolidge declared in an address to secretaries of automobile clubs in conference here, that instead of using new transit facilities to end over­ crowding, the people seemed determin­ ed to crowd themselves more than ever. ■ As a result, he contended, there is need for "concerted, fundamental- and courageous consideration of all the questions involved,” which, he added, "would reach h hundred times deeper than the mere superficial problem of getting streams of motor cars moved through city streets.”' The President urged that 150 motor club secretaries, who had gathered at the south portico of the White House to hear his' greeting, to take the "broadest and most inclusive view” of the problems confronting them. These, he said, include “the physical config- ,uration of our cities, the direction of the mighty currents of the nation's commerce, and the continent-wide dis­ tribution of population and industry." Declaring that in planning the lay­ out of cities years ago it was impos­ sible to foresee the "transportation revolution.” Mr. Coolidge said that some recent studies of engineers and sociologists "have led to doubts wheth­ er the superior efficiency of the very great cities as business, industrial and cultural centers can be taken alto- gether for granted.’' "They have advantages,” he added, "but they also have disadvantages; and the disadvantages seem to be multiplying fastest.” To tI l FOR FIRST QUARTER THIS YEAR IS CONSIDERABLY LOWER. London—Great Britain has return­ ed to the-goid standard. This announ­ cement was made by Winston Spencer I Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, in whgt is considered the most im­ portant budget statement of modern times. The resoration of the gold standard is put into effect by a special license to the Bank of England to ex­ port bullion which will operate, pend­ ing formal lapsing in December 31 next of the 1920 act prohibiting the ex­ port of gold bullion. Chancellor Churchill faced a crowd­ ed house of commons, his audience be­ fitting the great occasion and includ­ ing no less than eight former chancel­ lors. Apart from its leading feature, the return to gold, the budget was of vast importance for it contained some­ thing for all classes—six pence of the income tax in earned incomes under Washington.—Income tax receipts were $67,451,369.41 less on .the first quarter of this year than in the same, three months of 1924, it was shown in the first official figures on quarterly receipts by which the revenue produc­ ing power of the present tax law was compared with tl|e former rates. The comparative statement made public shows total income taxes of $579,238,820,98 for January, February and March, this year, against • $586,- 190.39 for the same three months of last year. Receipts for each of the three months of 1925 were: January, $33,054,831.92; February, $47,457',- 051.34, and March, $438,726,937.72, and in 1924, the receipts were: January, $39,664,855.60; February, $57,179,-, 527.57, and March, $4S9,935,807.12. Officials made no comment upon the statistics, explaining that the total for the quarter this .year had been about $S,000,000 above the estimate which they had used from last summer as the basis for calculation of govern­ ment requirements. They probably will not be able to offer an analysis of the results until after the June quarterly payment is in, when statis­ tics will be available showing the num­ ber of persons who paid all of their taxes in the_ first installment. Studying Case of Irish Woman.

Wealth May Have Caused 3 Deaths. ■Chicago.—Cumulative testimony In the inquest into the death of William Nelson McClintock, millionaire orphan was offered by a pharmacist,, a sales­ man, a reporter, a doctor’s widow, an undertaker and a former giirl .detec­ tive. Some of the evidence related to the deaths of McClitock’s mother and Dr. Oscar Olson, friend and physician of the McClintqcE family. Deputy Coroner Charles F. Ken­ nedy sustained Judge Harry Olson, in­ vestigator of this investigation, in of­ fering evidence of the theory, that three deaths may have been involved in 4 protracted conspiracy to-obtain the McClintock estate. . President Plans Vacation. Washington.—President .Coolidge in­ tends to remain in Washington to at­ tend the semi-annual budget meeting June 22, but plans to leavp shortljr after that date for an extended vaca­ tion in New England.

Roberts, prominent Coats physician and air­ plane fan, died at the Dunn Commun­ ity hospital of injuries received Sun­ day afternoon when his plane crashed to earth, a distance of 200 feet, near his home town. / The left side dr the unfortunate man was crushed as a result of the fall, several ribs being broken and one puncturing the left lung. He also re­ ceived numerous other bruises and lacerations. But little hope was enter­ tained for his recovery by attending Immigration officials said there was nothing in their records to indi­ cate that Miss MacSwiney was in this country illegally, and that unless their investigation showed she entered in violation of the immigration law, they would make no effort to deport her. In event they find evidence that she entered by use of fraudulent passports, however, they said they would refer the case to the Department of Justice for prosecution under the passport act. ,Humboldt, Tenn.—After killing two youth's with a single bullet on the main street of this city, Con­ stable Will T. Cox, was bound over under a charge of second degree murder at a preliminary hearing before Magistrate William Dunlap. Carl Ladd, 19, and Gaston Croom, 18, were riding along Main street and, according to the constable, re­ fused to stop when he hailed them. He declared the youths were driv­ ing at a high rate of speed, and that their automobile bore no license tag. When the automobile return­ ed along the street the constable declared the driver again ignored his order, to stop. Constable Cox 1 then fired his pistol, it is charged. The bullet passed through Ladd’s body and entering that Ot Croom, killed him instantly. Ladd stopped the car, got out and staggered a few paces, falling dead in the street.

Says Game Was Success. ’ Washington —Regardless of wheth­ er a definite decision can be reached as .to which side won the Hawaiian war game. Secretary Wilbur said the maneuvers would be justified ,if noth­ ing more was shown than that the Uni­ ted States fleet can function as a unit under approximate war conditions. Official advices on, the outcome of- the maneuvers were lacking and navy;' department officials thought several days might elapse before the umpires could reach conclusions as to the dif­ ferent passes" of the war game on which to base a report. lrWhile lessons of the utmost value to the country's defense will be learn­ ed from the joint maneuvers in Ha­ waiian waters,” Mr, Wilbur said in a statement, “the outcome of any par­ ticular phase in itself is not the pri­ mary object for holding the maneu­ vers. The welding of the fleet into a homogenious unit, the training of per­ sonnel afloat and ashore under con­ ditions to be met with in actual war­ fare, and the severe tests to which material is put are made possible only under the conditions in peace time. Such exertions, stimulating the severe conditions of war, serve to disciosl the weakness of deficiencies in the units of the fleet or in the defenses on shore.” trial transaction, will be turned over by the bankers to the original Dodge interests, ■ . The cerqtpony of payment will take place in the offices- of the -Central Union Trust company of New York, the ban! on which the huge check will be drawn. It will be payable to the order of Dodge Brothers, the old cor­ poration, which technically has sold its assets to the new company, Dodge Brothersj-Inc. A member of Dillon, Reid &Co. will present the check to Charles T, Spicer of the Detroit Trust company, representing Dodge Bros. Motorist Under Burden of Taxes. Washington.—An aggressive stand against additional legislation propos­ ed, in various states to tax motor ve­ hicles; was urged by speakers before a conference of secretaries of clubs affiliated with the American Automo­ bile association.-. Continued support of federal aid for road building was recommended and opposition Was expressed to the use of motor tax revenues - for other pur­ poses than road maintenance. Thomas P.'Henry of Detroit, presi­ dent of the association, declared solu­ tion of problems confronting the mo­ torists depended largely on co-ordina­ tion of the association’s 700 clubs in a common program. J i 3,000 Cases of Rum Seized.

Etargard, Prussia.—It is not yet ex­ plained whether the wreck this morn­ ing of the Eydtkuhnen-Berlin express near here In which from 20 to 40 per­ sons were kiljed and about 40 injured was caused by accidental derailment or ,was the act of political malcontents. Some color is given to the latter theory by the fact that a Russian Economic Commission,' bedded hy Dr. Markoff, director of the Russian economic in-: stitute for the Baltic Statps;- was aboard the train. . Burglars Blow Safe, Get $6-40. '• -. -Asheville, N. C.—For the ,second time within a few months, burglars broke into the Mountain City laundry, brdke open the safe and secured $640 in cash. The robbery was discovered by employees reporting for work The combination of the safe was smashed off with heavy tools and the door opened in front of a large plate glass window on the first floor- The robbery is the most sensational in the city, since.-the opening of the safes at Denton's and the Bon .Marche. view of operating a saw mill. Sunday afternono "he was bitten by a rattle­ snake and died as the result; Mr; Caudill- was abbut 35 years of age. He is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Caudill, and is survived by his widow and two children.' Funeral and burial services will be held at ,Roaring River. Collect Minerals For Exhibition. Raleigh.—At the Jeqfiest and in co­ operation, with the Asheville Chamber pf Commerce, Dr. Jasper. L. Stuckey,-, geologist of the State Department of Conservation and Development, is in Western 'North Carolina aiding in the collection of an exhibit of representa­ tive, minerals for display at the-South­ ern Exposition,, to be held In New York the last two weeks of 'May Emphfisis-will be placed on minerals which are either now in.. commercial production. or which promise to sup­ port neW industry. V Washington.—The results of experi­ ments which support the Einstein theory of relativity and promise of success in beating the boll weevil with an odor similar to that believed to entice to the cotton plant, were laid before the session of the annual meet­ ing of the National Academy of Sciences. In the absence of Dr. A. A. Mtch- elson, head of the University- of Chi­ cago’s physics department, because of illness, his associate, Professor A. H. Compton, read ‘his paper entitled “The Latest Test of the Einstein Theory,” which- determined that when the atrh is going forwar din a straight line, the city of light is apparently affected,, but that rotation has no ef­ fect on light velocity. Dr. Michelson’s experiments, con, ducted in conjunction with Prof. H. G. GaleJ dean of the graduate school of science, University of Chicago, indicat­ ed proof, Professor Hale said, of the theory thaf the ether does not go along with the earth. The race be­ tween two beams of light, tralveling in opposite directions, around a rec­ tangle, was used in his experiments by Dr. Michelson, whose earlier work is credited with having set Einstein on the road to his relativity theory. Preliminary experiments by Fred­ erick B. Power and Victor K. Chest­ nut, bureau of chemistry, department of agriculture in the cotton belt in analyzing odorous. constituents of the' cotton plant, the scientists were told, 'have disclosed that ammonia and trimethylamine were present in ap­ preciable amounts in the distillate, but the ammonia largely predominaftd. Both substances were also found to be emanations from the living plant, and- although further tests remain to be conducted, it is considered possible that the odor attracting the boll weevil might be produced artificially for use as a bait for the insect. The papers on a wide range of sub­ jects by American -and foreign schol­ ars were read at the opening -sessions during the day. Although the United States is now the only nation possessing belium in commercial quantities, Dr. -S.’ C. Elind, chief chemist of the bureau of mines, declared that!when other countries' are drilling for oil and has to an equal extent, there is a possibility that the non-inflammable gab will be found to exist elsewhere. It takes some 20,000,- 000 years for helim to leak up from minerals and rocks to the pools of natural gas, .where it is now found. Henry.-Varner. Dies. Lexington.—Henry Branson Varner, president of the North Carolina Motion Picture Theater Owners association and, former state commissioner of la­ bor and printing, died here of, pneu­ monia which developed 10 days ago following a business trip to Charlotte. Colonel Varner’s condition haH been exceedingly grave the last few days, but Sunday he was thought to have shown positive signs of improvement There Itas a sudden turn for the worse and the patient soon sank into a-state of coma. He did not regain conscious­ ness before his death. ' AVERAGE COST OF LIVING WAS INCREASED SIXTY-SEVEN PER CENT./ New- York.—Automobiles on the average cost 29 per cent less/ today than in 1913, while the average cost of living was increased 67 per cent during the same period, figures com­ piled by the National Chamber of Commerce reveal. The average retail price of a motor car is now set at $825. The analysis of car prices is part of the annual study of the automobile industry made by the chamber, cover­ ing the year 1924. The automobile industry now ranks first among the manufacturers of the United -States, the rating being on the basis of wholesale, values. The steel industry is second and meat packing third, according to the report. Exports of motor vehicles in 1924 were larger than ever before in the history of the industry. The 386,580 automobiles sold abroad established record of 17 1-2 per cent larger than the figures for 1923. The federal taxes paid on motor ve­ hicles from 1917 to 1925.was $799,285,- 399, or more than twice as much as was expended in Federal money to ward highways. Motor vehicles paid $461,400,000. in special taxes during 1924. About 65 per cent of automobiles in the United States are owned in com­ munities having less than 25,000 pop­ ulation, while 4 per cent of the cars are owned in communities having less than 5,000 population. Reign of Terror in Bulgaria. London.—The two members and a former member of the British parlia­ ment who visited Sofia, Bulgaria, im­ mediately after the recent bomb explo­ sion in y?e cathedral there and re­ mained In Bulgaria to study, the situa­ tion, again described conditions as they found them. The description was given in a re­ port which asserted the, existing Bul­ garian government had caused the deaths of many thousands-of persons “and will surely ultimately arouse a, volcanic upheaval.” The report was signed by Josiah C. Wedgwood and W. Mackinder, -Iabor- ite members of parliament, and Lieut. Col. Cecil L’Estrange Malon, a former coalition liberal member. They spent the recent parliamentary recess in Bulgaria where they met government officials, foreign diplomats and resi­ dents but were unable to see any of the leaders of the opposition to the government of Premier Tsankoff ‘As these already had been executed., or were in jail.” “The cou n trysaid the report, “was under martial law. General Lazaroff,- commander of all the troops in Sofia was dictator of Bulgaria. "x x x x We saw prisoners taken along the street by armed civilians, receiving in some cases very rough treatment. “At night bursts of firing were of frequent occurrence. From our hotel room we saw the huge prison building on a low hill outside the town brilliant­ ly lighted up. The approaches were illuminated by special lights all night. We were informed that throughout the night cars and lorries left the prison taking batches of prisoners out into the country to be shot as fresh loads were being brought to the prison.” Upholds Segregation Law.

Atlanta.—Automobiles seized / as liquor carriers.can be confiscated by the government, regardless of mort­ gages, liens or other claims, except when liquor on' which tax has been paid is being conveyed, Judge Samuel H, Sibley ruled .in a decision handed down in United States district court. Discussing the decisions, which was handed down in the case of Goldsmifh- Grant company vs. the United States, federal prohibition agents here point­ ed out that the ruling, in effect', means all claims on automobiles seized as liquor-carriers are forfeited. Virtually all liquor sold and trans­ ported in the northern district of Georgia, the jurisdiction of Judge Sib­ ley’s court, is illegally manufactured, and therefore, no tax is paid on it, Jt was stated. ■Heretofore stated, it w as. sa id 'in court circles, some'; courts have up­ held liens and other claims on auto­ mobiles seized as whiskey carriers on the ground the illicit use of machines was without knowledge of the party or parties holding the leins or other claims.

MOCSSViLLE, N. C- MAY 6, tgaj A re There Ghost? The editor of the Scientific Amer­ ican, like to be a cold, materialistic m atter-of-fact person, concludes a ghost exposing contest by admitting genuine psychic pbendmena do exist, that “ there are real spirit voices, though we have no proof there are sprit,” also, “genuine clairvoyants who can see pictures of the present, past, and future, and spirit writings which display power far bevond l i ­ ability of the writer.” But. he adds, at least half of the so-called spirit mediums are frauds. . . Severa' years ago Sir Oliver Lodge one oi the world’s greatest scientists, de­ clared his faith in man’s survival after death, based on research, rea soning and probability and on mes sages which he belihved be bad re ceived from his son, killed in thi war. His views have been genera! Iv scoffed at, and yet some little be­ lief in ghost m ight tend to make the wold behave better.

But whatever the cause, the fact remains that when it. comes to th? agricultural press and the country w eekl;, there is no basis whatever for jealousy or antagonism E ich h as its peculiar field as well as its individual respon­ sibility nnd individual opportunity. .l’he c-iuntrv weekly under busi- nes>Iike management that is abiy edited has a type of opportunity f«.r service that cannot be duplicated by- any other publication. The agr cul- tural press has n itIiing to do with the promotion of loc*l enterprise as .such Nor is the agricultural paper interested so directly iu either local politics, or local, civic, or social mat­ ters. VVith reference to all these problems the country weekly has a tie'd all of its own. How well the fi ‘Id of any paper is occupied of course depends altogethes on how thoriiughly that paper itself tries to occupy it. So in , point of actuti] fiot, file agricultural paper dees not interfere in the least with lie country weekly’s opportunity. There is perhaps no better wav to state our attitude than to say that it is our conviction that no farmer i f anv county should try to get along without his favorite-local paper, nor should he attem pt to do without his agricultural paper.

In an adj lining county, John­ ston. the Democrats were accused of mismanagement of county affairs and despite the heroic efforts of Mc­ Lean’s satellite, George Ross Pou to carry the county-for the old guard, the voters rose tip in their m ight and threw the money changers-out of the temple.- Time has proven that they knew what they were about for the sheriff, who had been in-the' ofli :e sig years 13 now .charged with a short­ age of more than $100,000 :n bis a c­ counts. In Lanoircjunty the Demo­ cratic sheriff was known to be in ar­ rears but the Democratic ring was afraid it would hurt the party if the truth became known and he was al­ lowed to stay on the ticket and wa-i elected in Novem ber but as soon as the smoke of battle had cleared a- way the commissioners removed him from office'tmd the m atter is now in the courts./ What, is the m atter wit h this-Democratic ring government in North CaroIinaanywavt Isn’t it a- bout time that w e were given a change from Governor on down ti e line to township constable, IinotKe -counties in the State, particularly in the eastern section, where the D em o-' j crate faave tietn in power s i long, - I they-think they own the State and j we are of the opinion that, if a full, 1 free and honest investigation was to I be had that manv crooked oHHals > would be expro3ed\—Union Republi- icttD. f A-V U I; U 1025994525688233154^^8 T B i fiA tiE RECORfi,' M o r a s y io L ij^ f e C,--- MAY is-rg a s SSSSi THE DAVlE RECORD.

It is now in order for salaries to be raised. Let ’em raise. When thieves fall out aud fight honest men get their dues. Some of the boys got a little warm last week despite the cool weather. Polities and religion will not mix well—one is of the Lord the other of the devil. '__________ When election days coine most folks seem to leave their religion at home—if they have any. Lots of folks will fight for their party who wouldn’t think of strik­ ing a lick for their church. The more you do for some folks the more they will do you when the opportunity presents itself. It pays to never say anything a- bout anybody that you can’t take, back should it become necessary. Despite the cool weather last Tuesday the town election was the wannest held here in many years. Some of our Democraticbreihren found out last Tuesday what most of the Republicans around here have known for a long time. So mote it be. It sometimes takes a long time to find out who ones friends are, but when a fellow runs for office it doesn't take long to find out who his enemies are. We would be glad ii commission­ er Hanes, of the Slate Highway, would tell us'what has happened to the hard-surface road that was to be bui t froui Mocksville to the Davidson county line. If some of our friends were as anxious and willing to haul people to church as they are to haul them to the polls the preachers would be amazed at the large congregations that would fill the churches. ; The'merchant who d.esn’t. ap­ preciate your business is not entit­ led to it. It pays to trade-with the live. merchant who keeps fresh goods. He who advertises can sell his goods cheaper because his sales are far in excess of the merchant who doesn't use printer’s ink.

What we started puttbsay was that the town cr county needed tb-get together and build the missing Jink of concrete on the squareJepuhecUug east. and west, with north and,/south.. This little missing link lias caused peo­ ple to cuss and lie and maybe steal. This stumbling-block, eye-sore and jiublic nuisance should be remedied at once. Wiiy caD’t the town and county boards get together and have this work done while the town is building concrete sidewalks? We understand tliit the to’al cost of wptk will only be about $6oo. W ake up, folks, aud let’s gets busy.. The Sunday blue law is still functioning in MocksvilIe as well as ever. . Same Old Ticket Elected. Last Tuesday, witnessed one of the hottest ’ and hardest fought town elections that has been pulled off here since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. From the opening of the polls at 8 o’clock in the morning until the golden orb of day sank to rest in the west the bovs were busy, especially the boys who -were toiling far the same old ticket. Theyweut outintothe highways and byways- “and hauled them in. Good work was done for both tickets, but the ring, staudpat, economy, extravagant or whatever kind of ticket you want to-call it, had five workers to the other ticket’s one, and the result was that said ticket referred to as above was elected by majorities ranging from about 28 toJSs. Both tickets were composed of Democrats. The Re­ publicans stood on the side lines aud watched the battle rage, while but few of them voted for. either ticket. The new ticket was not put into the field until one week before the election and not until after the registration books had closed. There w asa total, of 305 votes cast during the day. Tlje following is the lucky or unlucky Democrats who were elected to run the town aud the people therein for i he next two years: Mayor- -Li. E. Hunt, Sr. Commissioners—VV. F. Dwig gins, Percv Brown, Grover Hend­ rick, Tcmmfe Hendricks, J. B. Johnstone. ~ School Trustees—Jacob Stewart, L- G Horn, Miss Bertha Lee. We understand that the mayor and J. E.

The state revenue agent has sued.the Ford Motor company and all Ford dealers in the state, together with the bankers they do business with, to collect penalties amounting to the mouth filling sum of $12,000,000 for violation of the Mississippi anti-trust law. ' Expressions of wonder have been heard in other states as to how the- Ford company gets by with it. The lawyer who drew up the Mississippi papers puts in, the allegation that contracts with local dealers are in restraint of trade, inimical conspir­ acy. 11 is recited that the car manu­ facturing companing and its distri­ buting agent require local dealers to sell to the public cars at an exact specified price, governed, presum­ ably, by the age of the machine as an arbitrary rule, and the action takes in all the railroads operating in.the state, seeking to attach all cars in tranist. while the co-defend- arits include about ail the banks in in Mississippi. The Ford company has, its legal department and it is unbelievable that contracts have _ been made in Mississippi or elsewhere_,without a microscopic scrutiny of the laws in such cases made and provided. Chances are the legal advis-ers of the state have got it into a whopping piece of litigation that will cost right c msiderable money But lots of people will be curious to know just how the allegation of trade contray to the intent of anti trust laws in general —Greensboro News.

Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else Lirfc kidney trouble,, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con­ dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer pain in the back, head­ ache and loss of ambition. Poor health makes you nervous, irrita­ ble and may be despondent; it makes any one so. But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.

The results of this public service are described by Dr. John R. Mohler, chief of the bu­ reau of animal industry. United States Department of Agriculture, In his re­ port for the last fiscal year. Follow­ ing are some of the outstanding fea­ tures of the work, of particular Inter­ est to the public: Cattle Inspected. Cattle numbering 21,258,393 were In­ spected at market centers and 21,089 of them were 'dipped In suitable solu­ tions In order that-they-might continue In Interstate commerce. Bureau inspectors tested 4-1,419 cat­ tle for tuberculosis at public stock­ yards where they had been received for Interstate movement. The bureau also recognized the testing by author­ ized veterinary practitioners of 235,- 970 cattle for the same purpose. About I per cent of the cattle tested proved to be tuberculous. Sheep to the number of 19,769,413 were also Inspected for communicable diseases, and of these 1,095,046 were dipped under bureau supervision to comply with the regulations of the de­ partment or of the states at destina­ tion. Swine Inspected. Bureau employees also inspected 52,- 565,021 swine and supervised the Im­ munization and disinfection against hog cholera of 509,567 for shipment to country points for feeding and breed­ ing purposes. In connection with experimental work to control hemorrhagic septice­ mia, veterinary Inspectors vaccinated 151,457 feeder hnd stock cattle. Horses and mules Inspected num­ bered 12,214, of which 5,887 received malleln tests. Bureau employees supervised the cleaning and disinfection of 74,558 cars, of which 20,401 had carried ani­ mals affected with communicable dls- AlI ruminants and swine received at public stockyards were carefully ex­ amined for foot-and-mouth disease by experienced veterinary Inspectors. In addition to supervising the Inter­ state movement of live stock, bureau Inspectors also perform similar duties In connection with the Importation and exportation of domestic animals, In our relations with foreign countries. Such inspections, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1924, covered the movement of more than 300,000 bead of stock. ' • V ery D esirab le H a y fo r V ario u s F a rm A n im als Oat and pea hay well cured makes very desirable feed for diary cows or for sheep. It - Is also satisfactory as horse feed, though rather soft for horses that are required to do hard work. In composition, oat and pea hay varies greatly, depending on the amount of peas In the mixture. It ranks better than timothy but not so good as good clover hay. On good lands yields of two and one-half to three tons of field cured hay may easi­ ly be secured. Under the best of cir­ cumstances the crop has been known to yield three and one-half tons of cured hay. The feed produced- per acre will be at least equivalent to that produced on an acre ,-of timothy , land and may be considerably greater. The hay is more difficult to cure than tim­ othy but otherwise the cost of produc­ ing the crop is no greater except for the Initial cost of seed and sowing. C over C rops W ith C orn E x cellen t fo r P astu re A cover crop sown In com at the last cultivation makes good pasture or It may be plowed down to Improve the soil. If the season is not too dry soy beans, field peas, rape, or cowhora turnips may be expected to famish considerable late fall pasture. Rye has proved the most depend­ able of the many cover crops tested at the Ohio experiment station, and wilt furnish pasture In both fall and spring. A mixture of rye and vetch, where the latter Is adapted, Is desir­ able as together they furnish ,grazing for a longer period and afford greater assurance against winterkilling than either alone. Red, mammoth, and crimson clover have not been found satisfactory as cover crops at the Ohio station on account of frequent winterkilling.

In Inaccessible places, as along stone fences, spray­ ing the leaves with a saturated salt solution prepared at the rate of three pounds of salt per gallon of water and repeated whenever a new crop of leaves appears, Is an effective remedy but limited In application on account ot the amount of work Involved. Means of Obtaining Seed for Planting L onger, H eav ier E a rs W ith B ig C obs A re B est. ( P r e p a r e d b y t h e U n i t e d S t a t e s D e p a r t m e n t o f - A g r i c u l t u r e . ) The question of. a possible relation between the physical characters of seed ears and productiveness Is an important one In com breeding and one which has been given much at­ tention, says the United States De­ partment of Agriculture. For many years the department has carried on a project for the production of Im­ proved varieties of com for. the dif­ ferent geographic sections of the Unit­ ed States, and In connection with this project records of the Individual pro­ ductiveness of several thousands of ears were kept. Measurements of the seed ears were also recorded, and the accumulated data, therefore, were well suited to a statistical study of the relation between seed-ear char­ acters and productiveness. The results of this study are pub­ lished in Department Bulletin 1321, just Issued. The department investi­ gators have concluded that there is nothing In the data to indicate that selection on the basis of seed-ear char­ acters could be used as a method of breeding. Selecting the longer, heavier ears with proportionately heavy cobs and with relatively few rows of wide, thick kernels Is warranted as a means ol obtaining a supply of good seed for general planting, however. A copy of the bulletin may be se­ cured upon request, as long as the supply lasts, from the United States Department of Agriculture, Washing­ ton, D. C. DOINGS IN THE TAR HEEL STATE NEWS OF NORTH CAROLINA TOLD IN SHORT PARA­ GRAPHS FOR BUSY PEOPLE Im p ro v em en t in Q u ality o f S eed H elp to C rops The Department of Agriculture esti­ mates that more than 14,000,000,000 pounds of seed, exclusive of seed po­ tatoes, seed sugar cane and other vegetable planting stocks, are sown annually In the United States. Even a small Improvement In the quality of seeds would result Imlarger crops with little or no additional expense and an enormous gain In the aggregate pro­ duction or In an equal production on a smaller acreage. Improvement In his crops Is well within the power of every farmer by means of buying better-class seed from expert organizations which are constantly on the lookout for Im­ proved and higher yielding, varieties, and by following the- work of their local experiment stations which are constantly testing varieties with a view to determining their availability and value for the state which they represent One of the easiest methods of In­ creasing the yield Is’ by using more carefully cleaned seed. A great deal of seed is produced which should never be sown as Its quality does not justify Its use. As the supply of farm seeds ’is usually In excess or at least equal to the demand It would hardly be profitable for farmers In general to try to turn seed specialist and pro­ duce their own seed, for the time and pains necessary would not yield the’ returns to make It worth while. S w eet C lovers A d a p te d to V ario u s C o n d itio n s The sweet clovers are adapted to a wide range of soil and climatic condi­ tions. They are among the hardiest plants grown and succeed where many other plants fail. Because of their deep rooting system they are more or less drought resistant At the same time they seem to be able to withstand excessive moisture better than' most crops. There are two es­ sentials, however, to the successful growth of sweet clover. These are In­ oculation with the proper nitrifying bacteria and a soil rich In lime. For an emergency hay crop, bienni­ al white will be the most universally satisfactory, though the annual white Is also popular, particularly In the South. Biennial yellow Is sometimes used but is better suited for pasture than for bay. The ordinary procedure In securing a stand of sweet clover Is to sow It In the spring of the year with a nurse crop just as most of the other clovers are sown. After the grain has been removed, it makes rapid growth and will provide good pasturage or a tight crop of hay the same fall It Is. sown. The following year the main crop of hay or pasturage will be provided. In sowing for emergency hay crops, however, It Is best to sow It without a nurse crop of any kind. The land on which It is to be sown should be free from weeds and well prepared.

F A C T S O F P O U L T R Y W O R T H R E M E M B E R IN G The poultry producers who do not give their flocks the run of the farm have' a problem of yard management to consider In the handling of their flocks. Where the poultry have the run of the farm this problem Is not so important, but, Instead, the pro­ ducer has the problem of keeping the ground immediately adjacent to the houses In a sanitary condition. It has been . demonstrated in all classes of live stock that rotation of pastures is an Important means of lessening disease. This has been rec­ ognized for many years In the man­ agement of sheep and is becoming more recognized In the handling of hogs under the system which is known as the McClean county Bys­ tem. In the handling of poultry It Is well to have double yards so that one might rotate green crops. The yards may be sown to rye, oats, wheat or any quick-growing crop and while the fowls are using one yard the green feed In the other is getting a fresh start If the yards are only on one side of the house it is preferable that they be on the south side In order that the birds get the benefit of the dry ground and the warm sun In the early spring. If the yards are In permanent sod It usually requires from 70 to 80 square feet for each bird. If part of the green'feed is supplied In other forms half of this amount will be sufficient . Shade of some type is needed In the poultry yards. Fruit trees are often used for this purpose. If trees are not available then some .type of arti­ ficial shade should be supplied. Select the best eggs for hatching. Use the mother hen when possible or hatch early chicks with Incubators. Care for early hatched baby chicks well. Feed early baby chicks properly to give them a good start. It is always well to clean and dis­ infect the houses and pens thoroughly where the pullets are to live. This Is especially true If the birds formerly occupying the building have been dis­ eased or have had worms. Artificial lights should not be used on pullets until they have had a chance to respond to normal condi­ tions. If they do not respond quickly enough, or If neck molt starts, then lights can be used with good effect. Lack of ventilation causes dampness In the houses and this In turn results In colds and roup.

Wheat bran and millet are probably the best-liked fibrous feeds. Light colored mashes are usually eaten more readily than dark ones. Undoubtedly hens or flocks develop individual likes and dislikes.

Spinach With Noodles. —Put a layer of cooked spinach Into a well-but­ tered baking dish, cover with a layer of chopped cooked noodles, sprinkle with grated cheese and seasonings; add a cup­ ful of rich milk and bake until thoroughly hot. '■ Curried Lamb--Take one and oner half pounds, of Iamb-from the.neck, IiirO large, IliInIy sliced onions, one- half cupful of butter, one-half table- spoonful of curry ,powder, one tea­ spoonful of vinegar, three-fourths of a tablespoo.nful of flour,- one table­ spoonful of tomato catsup and boiled rice. Wipe the meat, cut Into one and. one-hulf-Inch pieces, sprinkle with salt and pepper and the flour. Melt the butter, add the onions and meat and cook untL the meat is browned. Now. add the curry and enough boiling wa­ ter to cook. Heat slowly to the boil­ ing point, add the vinegar and catsup and simmer until the meat Is tender. Thicken with flour, season with salt and pepper and serve in a border of rice. Prune and Cheese Salad. — Stew large prunes until ’ soft, remove the stones and fill with well-seasoned cream cheese, dip into highly sea­ soned French dressing, roll In chopped pecan meats and serve with a ripe olive sliced. Use the center slices for. garnishing. Arrange on lettuce hearts and pipe roses of. mayonnaise on the salad. Date and Ginger Sandwiches.—Chop one-half cupful of dales and the same amount of canton glnge$ add a bit of lemon juice and some of the sirup from the ginger jar, simmer all to­ gether at a tow heat until well-soft­ ened. Spread when cold on buttered bread. Chicken Sandwiches. — Chop the white meat of one chicken very fine, then pound to a paste. Add salt, pep­ per and cayenne to taste. Cover one tablespoonful of gelatin’ with a table­ spoonful of cold water, let stand half an hour then add six tablespoonfuls of cream. Stir over the heat until the gelatin is dissolved, now beat this Into the chicken and let it stand until cold. Cut into squares and let hard­ en. Serve cot into thin slices, on buttered bread, covering with another slice of buttered bread. Good Things to EaL - There is such a wealth of good vege­ tables and fruits during the summer that we need not suffer for variety. Soup of Green P ea a. — S h e ll enough g r e e n peas to make a 'q u a r t; add. six cupfuls of water and a sprig of mint; cook until. the peas are done, then . add salt to season. Press through a colander, add two table­ spoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of arrow root or cornstarch, and a little white pepper. Add to the liquor In which the peas were boiled, stir and. cook uiitil well done. Have ready a teaspoonful of meat extract dissolved in a little water and stir into the soup when serving. Chicken or veal stock may be used Instead of clear water in -which to- cook the peas, making a more delicately flavored soup. French Turnips.—Pare, cut Into dice and cook until tender, one pint of white turnips. Have ready the follow­ ing sauce: To fonr tablespoonfuls of Hour, add one teaspoonful of salt, one- fourth teaspoonful of pepper, and four tablespoenfuls of butter; add one pint of milk and stir the whole until It -bolls. Remove from the fire and add two well beaten eggs; stir until th.e eggs are set, add one-fourth of a cup­ ful of scraped onion or very finely- minced;- reheat. ’Remove from the heat, add the juice of a large lemon. Stlr rapidly and pour over the turnips In a hot vegetable dish. Sprinkle with a finely minced tablespoonful of pars­ ley and serve. Strawberry Venua--Make a rich bis­ cuit dough, using two cupfuls of flour, fonr teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two tablespoonfuls of’ shortening, one- half teaspoonful of salt, and milk to make a mixture to roll. Serve with a sauce prepared by mixing two cupfuls of powdered sugar with three-fourths of a cupful of butter and when well blended add a quart of crushed straw­ berries. Set In tin- Ice chest to chill and serve with the hot dumplings. One need not go to any expense for sandwich filling for leftovers of ham, salmon, and various vegetables mixed with mayonnaise will make a variety. > Devl led Sandwiches. — Chop o n / fourth pound of cold boiled tongue very fine, add to it two.tablespoonfuis of olive oil,’ a dash of red pepper, a teaspoonful of Worcestershire, and' a little salt and pepper.

Coast guard officials de< clared that the situation was tanta­ mount to guerilla warfare from the standpoint of the coast guard crews. Assistant Secretary Andrews, the field marshal of the prohibition forces, end Rear Admiral Billard, command- snt of the coast guard, are in a serious mood. Admiral Billard recognizes that the situation has developed into what [ almost amounts to a war to the death, and he plans to do the best job his I power and facilities permit. - "It’s a big job, a hard job,” Mr. An- ] fitews remarked. “But we mean busl- hess.

Richmond.—Six Virginia shippers took the stand to offer testimony of actual shipments to substantiate the Virginia Corporation commission's chargee before the Interstate Com­ merce commission hearing here, that' interstate freight rates between Vir-' ginia and North Carolina points are excessive and discriminatory as com­ pared with rates within the state of North Carolina. This broke for the time being the monotonous- reading by T. G. Geog- hegan, traffic commissioner for the Virginia Shippers association, from the ponderous volume ot 30 exhibits which the Virginia commission spent more than two years preparing for the hearing. The testimony of the shippers was taken in conformity with the ruling Monday of Examiner Carter that the Virginia commission must substan­ tiate its exhibits with actual cases presented by shippers in competition with shippers in North Carolina. The six men who took the stand were dealers in widely different lines of commodities -and their testimony fol­ lowed the course of specific differen­ tials already pointed out by- Mr. Geog- hegan. It is believed the move by the Vir­ ginia commission will shorten to five or six days what had been counted upon as a two weeks hearing. An.ad­ ditional number of Virginia shippers will take the stand together with traf­ fic men, and Mason Manghum, com­ merce counsel to the Virginia commis­ sion, said he thought his case could be closed within two more days. The North Carolina Corporation commis­ sion and other interests opposing the Virginia complaint will then offer tes­ timony In support of their claim that freight rates within North Carolina, as governed by the exceptions sheet and the southern classifications, are not discriminatory to Virginia shippers. Negro Singers Walk Out. ' Washington. — Delegates attending the quinquennial convention of the International Council of Women came face to face with' a typical American problem while assembled to hear a program of American music. The program, designed to show the development of American music, in­ cluded Indian selections by a band of Sioux warriors from South Dakota, negro spirituals of the 1860 period, and modem compositions. But the negroes didn’t sing, because members of their race not included among the delegates to the convention had been segregated in the audience. When the time came for the negroes to make their appearance, Hallie Q. Brown, former president of 4he Asso­ ciation of Colored Women and of the American section of the international council, appeared on the stage and an­ nounced 'that the negro songsters would not appear because of "discrim­ ination." Soon afterwards, the negro group In the audience left the audi­ torium practically In a body. Bolivia .Names President.

New York.—Au ordinary photo­ graphic negative was placed in a pho­ toradiographic machine in Honolulu, I beam of light placed through it and the complicated apparatus began dicing. One-fourth of a second later another machine In New York, 5,136 miles away, began dotting and dashing out a copy of the negative. Twenty WinuteB later the machine in New York had inked in the last dot of a complete positive—making a suc­ cess of the transmission of a photo­ graph by radio across the Pacific ocean. -Seven times this process was repeat­ ed, and seven pictures ot persons and events connected with the Hawaiian maneuvers ot the American army and navy of last week appeared In early afternoon editions of New York news' papers. This was the first attempt to trans­ mit pictures by radio and telegraph over such a distance. The promoters of the test, the Radio Corporation of America, with the'co-operation of the United States army, hailed is success as another stride forward in the devel­ opment- of radio transmission of pic­ tures. Similar attempts six months ago across the Atlantic also were suc­ cessful but that test presented no such distance nor difficulties as this feat. Between Honolulu and .New York not a human handjintervened in the process, although four relays were necessary, each accomplished automat­ ically by linked receiving and trans­ mitting devices. The radiophotofjrphic machine at Honolulu, with its light beam varying in intensity with the lights and shades of the negative, started the series of dots, -dashes and spaces on- the first lap ot their journey, 29 miles by tele­ graph wire to the high power radio transmitting apparatus at Kahuku, island of Oahu. Automatically the wire currants were changed to radio waves for a 2,372 mile-leap across the eastern Pacific to a receiving station'at Mar­ shall, Calif., which turned them again into telegraph current for a 19 mile wire relay to the transmitting station at Bolignas, Calif., where once more the KahiikU process was repeated to dispatch the, picture on its transcon­ tinental leap of 2640 miles to the radio receiving station at Riverhead, L. I. Into wire current once more and the pictures were delivered at the affices of the Radio corporation, Broad steet, New York. BUSINESS BLOCK IS BURNED OVER. Abbeville, S.

CALLS FOR PERCE AMBASSADOR HOUGHTON TELLS EUROPE TO SETTLE TROUBLE WITH AMERICA. Whiskey Price Rises. New York— New York coast guard officials, claiming that their three- day old blockade of the Atlantic rum fleet continued 100 per cent affective, put the stamp of seeming permanency on this new phase of the anti-wet war by issuing a call for between 400 and 500 guardsmen recruits for the local district.’ It became known, too, that the drive tor" recruits is more or less a national thing,, similar campaigns being in pre­ paration at Norfolk, Washington, BaL timore, and Boston. The blockade was tightened, a score or more rum chasers leaving the local and other nearby bases for the line of action. Most of the boats were said to be replacements, being sent to the row to .relieve' some of the smaller, which have been on the job since the blockade opened In heavy seas and' bleak weather stirred by a near gale. Almost simultaneous With the an­ nouncement of the departure of the reinforcements and replacements, the destroyer Cunningham returned to her base from the blockade zone to report that four new contraband carriers had joined the line of beleaguered ships at anchor all the way from 18 to 40 miles from shore. One of the four, towering above the others, was a big German steamer, from Hamburg. All presum­ ably had come unaware of the block­ ade and were drawn into the govern­ ment’s net before their captains could be warned. Slain In State House. Columbia, S. C -H arry I.

London. — Alanson B. Houghton, newly appointed ambassador to the court of SL James, made his bow to a British audience at the traditional dinner of the Pilgrims, which always is the first to welcome a new Ameri­ can representative to London and al­ ways the firBt to receive a full and frank expression of his views on vital matters which affect the relations be­ tween the two countries. It was a night ot plain speaking.- Ambassador Houghton, in a brief con­ cise address, told his audience, which included the Duke of 'York, Premier Baldwin and other members ot the British cabinet and the most repres­ entative men of the realm, Ramsay MacDonald among them, and others of every political belief, that the United States wanted a settlement of Europe's vexing problems, and that unlesB peace were established in Europe, he feared the part the United States •previously had played as an interest­ ed and sympathetic participant might give way to a lessor role. 1 In - return, Lord Desborough1 the chairman, Stanley Baldwin, the pre­ mier, and former Premier Ramsay MacDonald assured him of the interest In which the people of Great Britain held his -pronouncements^ and lay stress on their appreciation of the bond between the two nations. It was not an occasion of a mere exchange of complimentary remarks between guests and hosts, but one ot a closer exchange' of confidences, en­ livened by humor that sparkled throughout the evening and kept the distinguished company in laughter most of the time. Mr. Houghton told those assembled that the plain people of America wanted the re establishment of a real peace—assurance of the return of good faith—in Europe and upon that their participation in the reconstruction of normal condltidns largely depended, Coming as it did from the former ambassador to Germany, following his recent- visit to the United States and conferences with President Coolidge, the pronouncement was, calculated to create a profound impression upon the statesmen and diplomats gathered to hear the new ambassador, and per-, haps be regarded as among the most important ' delivered- by America’s envoys to the court of St. James in years. Because of its importance and the authoritative note which it sound­ ed, it was assumed by those trained in’diplomacy that he muBt undoubted­ ly be voicing the views of the adminis­ tration at Washington. Nashville, Tenn^-Wlth the election of two treasurers, the acceptance ot a budget of «1,400,000 as a minimum appropriation for missionary work for 1926 and the holding of a night session honoring the memory of missionaries who have died since the last annual meeting, the board ot missions,.Metho­ dist Episcopal church,, south,-rounded out their - work. It was considered probable that the business of the board would be com­ pleted, when administrative secretar­ ies, bishops in charge and missionar­ ies' will report on the work In the Latin-American fields, to be followed by a meeting ot the Centenary com­ mission. The leaders concluded re­ ports on the Oriental fields'. The election of J. P. Rawls, ot Suf­ folk, Va., as treasurer of the board, filled a vacancy caused by the death of J. D. Hamilton, of Nashville,. Mr. Rawls succeeding W. M. CaBsetty, Nashville, acting treasurer. Mrs. Iua Davls Fulton, of Sherman, Texas, was elected to succeed Mrs. F. H. E. Ross, Nashville, resigned, treasurer of the woman’s department of the board, effective July I. The board set December 10 as the date for a special meeting, when bud­ get appropriations tentatively agreed, upon,, contingent upon the response from the church-wide appeals for mis­ sions, will be allotted to the resepc- tlve fields of mission work. This decision, it was declared, would likely bring to ■ Nashville the winter meeting of the College of Bish­ ops, all of whom are members of the board ot missions, The tentative budget carries I a church-wide appeal of «750,000 for mis­ sions and of this amount «510,000 is the minimum sum required to com­ plete the «1,400,000 budget: - The suggestion ot the estimate committee as to the basis of approprla-* tions provided a total of «1,016,114.04 for foreign mission work and «329,- 831.57 for the deartment ot home ml*: sions. The estimates made by the. admin­ istrative secretaries of the -woman’s department, for the foreign mission section aggregated «592,310, a sub­ stantial decrease from the 1925 basis, it was said. For the home mission section «347,110.38 was asked. Fines Income Falelfyer $40,00<j. New York.—Receiving what United States District Attorney Emory R.

Richmond, Va--Testimony 01 indi­ vidual Virginia shippers will be requir­ ed to substantiate the rate exhibits offered by the Virginia corporation commission in its complaint that inter­ state freight rates between Virginia and North Carolina are discriminatory, and excessive as compared with those obtaining for equal distances within the state of North Carolina. This was the ruling ot Examiner 'Carter of the interstate commerce commission who opened the long de­ terred rate hearing here. It came at the instance o t. opposition counsel after T. D. Geogheghan,'traffic com­ missioner for the Virginia Shippers’ association, took up again the reading of a ponderous volume of 30 exhibits, a work of rate comparisons which he said had required more than two years of labor.

New York--Naval warfare against rum smugglers, with the government’s dry fleet blockading the coast from Boston to Atlatic City, Inspired the country’s land enemies of bootleg­ gers to redouble their efforts. As more than 60 coast guard boats, manned by* 400 men and assisted by 13 seaplanes, patrolled the sea, the forces ashore dug up a legal weapon which prohibition officials asserted probably would prove as deadly as the fleet’s warfare. This was the discov­ ery of a provision in the tariff law of 1922 providing that compensation would be given informers-who assist the government In the arrest and con- victtion of violators of the.prohibition IdW* While this was the most Important development of the ru inwar ashore, It was not the only one.

C h a p m a n . ) ' CHAPTER XVI—Continued —13— The care grew narrower; then,' Just when Lee thought that they had reached the end, it suddenly vaulted out and up into a large chamber. The roaring of the waterfall Imme­ diately became accentuated as the sounds echoed from wall to wall. By the light of the candle they could now see what looked like a sheer drop into darkness immediately in front of- them. They drew back from the edge has­ tily. But the next moment they per­ ceived that what they had taken for a precipice was a river, inky black, a swift and perfectly soundless stream rushing through the cavern from side to side of the mountain. It emerged through a low tunnel in the rock and disappeared through an­ other, barely two feet in height, upon the other side. And the roaring that they heard was not caused by this stream within the cave, but by some' distant cataract, either beyond the mountain or deep within the bowels of the earth. There were evidences, in the shape of rusty pots and kettles, and disinte­ grating tins strewn about the place, that this had been Pelly’s head­ quarters, while on the opposite side , of the cavern' there was a deep sand tunnel extending into a smaller cavern Bnder the wall, showing that Pelly'had worked this part for gold. And the whole interior was piled high with wood ashes and remains of charred logs. This seemed, In fact, to be the heart of Pelly’s gold mine. Suddenly Rathway, who had been wandering apparently aimlessly about the Interior, uttered a shout and leaped toward the obscurity of the op­ posite wall. In another moment he had returned, dragging with him a large sack, from whose mouth tiny yellow particles exuded. As if unconscious of the presence of Lee and Joyce, he kneeled down, and, muttering feverishly, began nntying the cord about the sack’s mouth. The gap­ ing sides disclosed a pit of gold. Gold in fine dust, gold In nuggets. Eatliway plunged his arms within the sack up to the elbows, chuckling and mumbling. There was a fortur*; In that bag, the accumulation of old Pelly’s years of nocturnal labors. It. was. impossible to estimate it, but It would ..make its possessor a very rich man for life. '! “Well, I’m glad you’ve got it,” said Lee. But he was thinking bitterly of Joyce’s loss. He turned away. Suddenly some In­ stinct caused him to duck and spin around. The flash of flame spurted al­ most Into his face. He heard Joyce’s cry ring through the cavern. Sathway had. pulled a second pis­ tol from his clothes and fired at Lee at five or six feet distance. * The bullet chipped a sliver of gran­ ite from the -wall behind his head. At the same Instant Lee saw Joyce aim her automatic and fire deliberately at Rathway. But of course no discharge followed the pulling of the trigger. Lee had known the automatic was empty, though it had not seemed necessary to warn Joyce. As he sprang forward, Rathway brought the butt of the weapon smash­ ing down upon Lee’s forehead. Lee dropped foolishly upon his knees; he saw Rathway’s face, con­ vulsed with fury, over him; Ratb- w&y’s arm, yellow with gold dust, raised to strike again. Lee leaned backward, overbalanced, fell into the stream. He saw Joyce' run forward and grasp at him as he was swept past, saw Rathway grappling with her— then he was In the whirling current, and Joyce and Rathway and the cav­ ern' vanished as swiftly as a picture on the screen. Lee was only dimly conscious of what was happening to him, for his senses reeled under Rathway’s blow, and It was only an intense effort of the will that enabled him to keep his face above the water. He had a vague consciousness that he was being whirled through the depths of the mountain in complete darkness. The rock roof swept his hair, and the rock walls on his two sides formed a sort of hydraulic tube against which the stream tossed and buffeted him, hurling him from side to side in its fury. And ever the stream <jrew swifter, and ever that ominous roaring sounded louder in his ears. The river was carrying him toward some subterranean waterfall. Half conscious. Lee visualized death among the grinding rocks—death in that viscous blackness that no ray of sun­ light had ever illuminated. ’ -H e knew in a dim way that this was the end, and resistance being impos­ sible,'resigned Ulmself to-the rush of the waters, gasping, in a few mouth­ fuls of air whenever it was possible. The tunnel was growing still nar­ rower, and now thie roaring sounded In his ears like thunder. The rock roof dipped to the ,water. Lee dm- In one. last breath: . He went mi ■ Ge flans up his arms, and hi? •)»_'< scraped the roof—then touched only emptiness. The current hurled him to the surface again. He opened his eyes. Starlight overhead, appearing be­ tween high, precipitous walls, that seemed to scrape the sky. A narrow gorge, through which the current whirled him still more furiously, In the distance a- line of white, the boil­ ing of the torrent about the rocks of the falls. Involuntarily a great cry of anguish broke from Lee’s throat Again and again it broke forth, the spontaneous protest of the body against inevitable destruction. Upon the brink of the gorge, which had a tiny ledge of rock or undercliff beside the water, a Ueacon fire leaped into view, far away. Silhouetted against It was the black figure of a man. Lee fancied that he shouted In answer. His head was growing clearer now. ■ The gorge had become as narrow as a hall bedroom, and the rush of the black torrent toward the falls terrific. It whirled Lee around and around like a ball. The line of white was coming nearer with awful rapidity. Lee saw the figure- on the edge of it, tossing its arms as It raced along the brink, but if it “was shouting now, its voice was indistinguishable in the roar of the torrent. Great fallen rocks lined the banks. Lee grasped at them as he was swept by, but they always eluded him, al­ ways the. current carried him away. Kow he seemed poised upon the brink of- the tumbling cataract. He grasped at a rock projecting out of mid-stream, missed It . . . Something descended over his head, checking him. He seemed to float still In the current, which boiled about and past him. He reached out to the rock, found It, clung there. He readied up one arm aid found that he was enveloped In tUe folds of a long fish­ ing net 'He saw Leitoeut upon the brink, not ten feet distant. The man was shouting, but Lee coulcl not dis­ tinguish a word. He was pointing toward the shore, to the rock. Lee let himself go. The great shoulders and arms strained themselves upon the net against the torrent. Completely en­ meshed, Lee felt himself being slowly drawn, like a gigantic fish, toward the bank. There was one instant when the force of the current seemed to be pulling old Leboeuf into the stream. The huge body bent like a bow, there was an Instant of suspense, then He Saw Joyce Run Forward and Grasp at Him as He' Swept Past. slowly the great shoulders swung back, and Lee grasped the rocky ledge through the folds of the net. He felt himself raised to the1 rock rim, felt Leboeufs arms about him, and col­ lapsed' Into unconsciousness. C H A P T E R X V II R a th w a y T a k e s T h o u g h t o f H is S p o ils V Rathway laughed like a hyena as he' saw Lee disappear, in the swift waters of the torrent. He spun about and. struck the pistol from Joyce’s hands, pulled the girl to hlin, and crushed her brutally, against his breast And Joyce, overcome by this cli­ max of the night’s work, suddenly re­ laxed In his arms and fainted. Rathway laid her down on the sand and looked at her In perplexity. He discovered ..that he was some­ what in the same . situation as the fox with the sack of corn anil the goose. ■ . *. - If he carried, the girl through the tunnel and left her while he went back for the gold' she might escape, him. On the otner hand, If he'left her In the - cave while he carried Uxe -gold away,'she might fling herself Into the' Stream In her despair. ..- And some- ‘*ne might take the gold. The only thing for Rathway to do waB to remove the gold and the girl simultaneously. He carried the bag of gold to the cave’s mouth, but In spite of his great strength, the weight was terrific. "He reconciled himself to his labors, however, by the reflec­ tion that the bag contained a fortune. Then, returning to Joyce, he carried her to the bag and set her down be­ side It It was fortunate for him that Joyce remained unconscious, or he would have been impossibly handicapped in his maneuvers. Cursing and strug­ gling, first with the bag and then with the girl, Rathway at last got them to the rock at the foot of the tunnel which Lee had so Indiscreetly pointed out to him. Then arose the most difficult prob­ lem of- all. Either the girl or the gold would ,have to be left on the npper side- of the tunnel while he went back for the other. And during his absence —Kathway shuddered at the thought of any prowler coming along and mak­ ing off with the treasure. He was not convinced In his mind that hfs aides had not followed him. Rathway chose to leave the gold in safety,. It was the greater .of his two passions. Gathering Joyce in his arms, he essayed the ascent of the cliff. How he got to the tunnel’s entrance he hardly knew afterward. It was a feat which only the spur of triumph enabled him to accomplish. He had to hold on with both hands while grip­ ping the girl with the Insides of his arms, At length, however, he did succeed In reaching the tunnel’s mouth, drag­ ging himself through, and. pulling Joyce through after him. The ascent of the rock ladder was trifling In com­ parison. He looked at Joyce. She was still in a condition of profound unconscious­ ness. Breathing an unvoiced prayer to whatever gods controlled his soul', that she would not awake, Rathway laid her down between the monolith and the rocking stone, and went back for the gold. This job of hoisting the heavy bag up the side of the cliff, required less dexterity, but every ounce, .of strength that he possessed. Inch by inch,'- straining and scrambling up the rocky wall,' Rathway pushed it -before him until, bruised by the impact of the treasure, he got it safely within the tunnel, and thence to the rocking stone above. He stopped to breathe. He wiped the sweat from his face. It was not very far from dawn. He must have spent hours on that hideous task. Then, carrying the bag and the girl alternately, he pjished on toward the house.- He wakened his aides with a bellow. They came staggering out, drunk and half asleep. "Start up the engine, Kramer," he shouted. “We’ll have to be on our way by daylight Gimme a drink!” He gulped down half a bottle of his own liquor. The reaction after his in­ credible labors, the possession of the gold, the supreme triumph of that night exalted him: But he was anxious to get away as soon as possible. At Siston late, which was only a few hours’ journey by motor boat, he would be In his own retreat He could wait tUl then to enjoy success. He gloated as lie looked down at the Unconscious girl. . Something had gone wrong with the engine, and Rathway fussed and fumed while Kramer, the mechanic, was repairing It. The packs were got together, the ..engine overhauled. Rathway placed the bag of gold dust in the ifliddle of the boat and car­ ried Joyce to It. He laid her down, and they pushed off. Joyce had fallen into - a profound sleep of exhaustion. She began to stir, stretched out her arms. “Lee, dear,” she murmured. She opened her eyes and looked Into Rathway’s vulpine face. She screamed. She struggled. She remembered. She fought iike a mad woman, and Rathway was forced to call for a rope. -He tied her ankles together and fastened her arms to her sides. He' passed the rope around one of the cleats. In spite of her bonds she struggled so that it was all Rathway could do to keep her from tilting the boat over. She screamed continually and tried to throw herself over the side. •' At last she stopped, .however, • and lay still from exhaustion. She never renewed her struggles. She lay In the bottom of the boat with her eyes closed, drawing In convulsive breaths. Despite his triumph and his anticipa­ tions, Rathway was afraid of her. He wondered what was going on inside her mind. * It was about noon when they reached the, promontory. Rathway, preceded by Pierre and Shorty with the gold—he would not leave it In the motor boat—carried the girl across the neck of land to an Iso­ lated hut about three hundred,yards away, following a secret passage among the reeds. He laid her down upon the camp bed. ,Joyce lay rigid looking at him with dilated pupils, and still drawing In those shuddering breaths. Rathway Vent out with a -v sigh of relief; he was.still more afraid of her In that condition: ■ ’ v Another person he feared*was Es­ telle," and it was with relief he learned that she was riot! at the promontory. Estelle had odd ways of wandering alone about the country. Rathway was glad of this temporary respite, Going to the stables, a shanty with two. stalls close by, where he kept two horses and fodder for use In un­ expected emergency, he saw tlVRt 'one of the animals was missing. No doubt Estelle had gone out riding. Estelle's personality was a stronger one than Rathway’s. He could never cow her by violence, as he cowed his men; on the contrary, he feared her lashing tongue when she was aroused, He had seen Pierre, Shorty, and Kramer gloating over the gold, and he knew that he would have short shrift If once his men. suspected that he was unable to keep It against them, 'or if they trusted each other sufficiently to combine against him. That was why he had removed it to the hut in the swamp, approachable only by a single narrow track. There, were six other men at the promontory, one, of them, tbe man, whom Lee had shot through the hand, being still disabled. Rathway set the whole lot on various Jobs, to keep them busy "during the remainder of the day. He knew that they would be talking about the gold at night, but ,he was making his own plans. And, left alone, he paced the track,' now gloating over the gold, now over Joyce who still lay silent on the bed, her lips com­ pressed, and that awful look In her eyes. He went to her side and cut the bonds that bound her. There waS'-no need to guard her; she could not es­ cape him. Joyce sat up slqwly, still looking at him In that terrible way. He could not face her eyes. He felt helpless before her. He needed two allies—night and whisky. - “Come, dearie,” he began, in a voice that was meant to be placable, “you know everything I’ve done has been out of love for you—” “Murderer!” Rathway trembled be­ fore her outstretched f/u g er. He had thought to. have her at his asercy; slie seemed to have him at hers. “Come, now, my dear, if I had to treat you rough—” “Murderer!” ‘‘He was pulling a gun on m e.' He fell into the stream himself. I didn’t hit him.” “You—murderer!” Ratliway, beat a retreat. Her eyes were blazing like a panther's. He couldn't understand his fear of-.her. He crossed the neck, went into his hut, and began drinking. His mind was muddled, and worse, his will was wavering. 'That girl was bad ^enough —then there would be Estelle to face. Curse those women! The mental picture.of Joyce rose up before his eyes. She had never seemed so de­ sirable. He saw her unconscious In the mine again, with hef short, fair hair hanging about her neck, her eyes closed, helpless. Curse her! Why had he only been thinking of the gold? He had had her at his mercy then. He looked cautiously into the hut again, Joyce was still sitting on the bed, still as a carven statue. Rath- way was beginning to be afraid that she was going mad. If she would only give him the chance, he wanted to tell her that he would share- the gold with her. Why couldn’t she be reasonable? It was that d—d Ander­ son ! How long would she be thinking' of him? Weeks, perhaps. His suspicions of Joyce and Ander­ son lashed him, bid he .raged all the afternoon, abusing his men, and giv­ ing them unheard of tasks. He had the boats cleaned, the engine over­ hauled, a drum- of gasoline placed In the motor boat. He sent some food to Joyce. The men grumbled - and went about their work sullenly. Rathway fancied he saw looks pass­ ing .between them, as if they had some secret understanding. He be­ lieved they were conspiring against him. And 'where the devil was Es­ telle? In spite of the hate that he now felt for her, -. he turned to her In his thoughts In time of difficulty. Curse the woman! She was getting too strong a hold on him! Helmust send her packing. .. His desire for Joyce was a constant goad to him. But he was still afraid of her. He must give her time to weaken. It was not dark enough. And he had not drunk enough. At nightfall the men began a ca­ rousal,. gathering in a hollow between the huts, protected by a skin roof and sides, but open In front, where a. huge fire was kindled. TJsnally Rathway k6pt liquor from them, except when on long journeys'and for the weekly de­ bauch which he permitted, but now they were openly defying his rigid rule. The possession of the gold had disintegrated everything. 7 For Rathway, too. He cared no longer. . The drunlcer his followers became, the better for the plans that were condensing in his inind. ' As he passed, one of the men de­ fiantly held up a bottle, an act that would have brought swift physical re­ tribution under, other circumstances. A man at his side dashed it out of his hand, whispering In his ear. The bottle smashed, and the spirit ran out on' the ground. Rathway affected not ,to ■notice the incident Another man, staggering out of a Hut, lurched past him with a mum­ bled gibe. Ratliway affected not to notice that either. Let the fools weave their halter! t . J He went Into his own hut and swal­ lowed a cupful of whisky. It helped to steady his nerves. He crossed the neck, and' made his, way to the but where Joyce was. It was nearly dark now, and through the darkness he could see her sitting where'tie had left her, her hands folded In her liap. Fear of her. sprang up In lilni again, and with- the fear unreasoning fury. Hate and love left him neutral for the moment so strongly they contested within him. The girl did not turn her head, and he steered a wide course of the bed, edging Bldewlse toward the sack of gold dUBt Picking It up, he made his way quickly outside. With a great effort he managed' to hoist it upon his back, and, staggering along, al­ most bent double by his burden, he made his way among the reeds untll he reached the shore of the lake, a few yards from where the motor boat lay benched at the end of the broken parapet. / / He laid the bag down In the swamp growths He fei.t more at ease now. No one would think of looking for it Rathway La^d the Bag Down in the Swamp Growth. there, and to hoist It into the motor boat would be a matter of only-a mlnute<or two. ■ Looking into the boat, he saw that Kramer had placed the drum of gaso­ line In it, as he had ordered. Rathway chuckled. Joyce, the boat and the gold—rand Estelle away! What more was needed? A few hours’ delay, until the men were stupefied with whisky, then— One minute’s start was all he needed. Then he was saf°- He could make Lake Misquash in three days. There, In the far north,' at the last outpost of the Free Traders, run by the 'half-breed whom he supplied per­ iodically with hooch for sale, he would remain with Joyce, safe against pursuit through the long winter. In any , event it was not likely that the gang would have the enterprise to follow, him. In spring Joyce and he would move south by other trails. By spring the girl would have forgotten Anderson. It was beginning to snow again. Clouds would cover the moon that- night. Things could not have, turned out more favorably. Best of all was Estelle’s absence. But then, through the fading twi­ light, Rathway saw Estelle coming coward him along the path through the -reeds. And a fury of resentment rose In. his breast at the sight of her. He had never hated her more. Why had he tolerated this woman-jso long after she had ceased to mean anything to him? There was murder in his heart as he advanced to meet her. C H A P T E R X V I II L e e I s C iv e n a P o w e r fu l T o o l It was dawn In the gorge when.Lee opened his eyes. At first his memo­ ries were confused so that he could carry them no further forward than the moment when he turned away from the^ log house, leaving Joyce with Rathway. He had meant to kill him then—and here he • must 'have fallen asleep In the ,forest, for it was daylight And Joyce had been all night In Rath­ way’s power! • ' Murder filled' his heart; and again everything else was blotted out of his mind but the insensate desire to slay, a primal Instinct that swamped every other part of the man’s being. He started up. But—this was not the forest! .-He, was amazed to see the walls of the gorge on.either side of him, dwindling away In the dls- stiyice into open country, with a vista of trees beyond, and splashes of sun­ shine, interspersed with long waves of shadow, showing that the sun had already risen. Almost immediately-beneath .the ledge on which he lay was,a cataract, but not deep—a- roaring stream of water rushing among the rocks.: And not far away *was old Leboeuf, placidly frying bacon Jn a skillet over a wood fire. Then all the events , of the. night Bashed into Lee’s mind. He uttered a cry, got on his legs. “Leboeuf!” At Lee’s cry ,the old Indian turned and came toward him, the! skillet in his hand. , , • . ‘Monsieur?".', 'We must go back: Joyce—” And he began to tell the old man of the events of the night that Joyce and ne were married—but it was all inco­ herent, and he was not sure that he succeeded In making Leboeuf under­ stand. • ’ ,...

No department ot Southern Baptist !work has shown greater progress in !recent years than that of foreign mis- !■ions. ; Dr. J. F. Love, corresponding secre­ tary of the Foreign Mission Board,.Io- m DR.-J. F. LOVE ! Secretary Baptist Foreign Mission Board cated at Richmond, Va., is just com­ pleting ten years of service in that*1 capacity, and the survey conducted by ;Dr. Alldredge shows that during that itime the receipts of the board have 'been $16,149,994.64, whereas the re­ ceipts for the entire 78 years of the hoard’s history have been $24,915,- 704.86, showing that two-thirds of the !total receipts of the board since its !organization in 1845 have come in during Dr: LovetK administration. Results on Foreign Fields Large Indicating the results which these larger receipts h a v e made possible on the foreign fields,- it is pointed out tfiat whereas, the Foreign Mission Board was operating in only seven 'countries ten years ago, it is now at work in seventeen countries, repre­ senting Europe, Asia, Africa, North sand South America. In that brief pe­ riod of time the number of foreign !churches has grown from 380 to 1905, !the number of mission stations other [than churches from 43 to 308, number [of baptisms. per year from 5,252 to !12,856, members of the churches from [29,991 to 111,872, number of houses Of [worship from 248 to 819, number of [Sunday schools from 542 to 1,511, pu- jpils enrolled in the Sunday schools ‘from 22,022 to 76,504, contributions by [the foreign churches from $91,159.69 [per year to $444,568, number of Amer­ ican missionaries on the field from [278 to 544, number of native Chris- ltian workers employed from 634 to ■2,494, number of mission residences iowned by the board from 66 to 129, !number of mission schools from 339 Ito 860," number of pupils in these -;schools from 339 to 860, number of [pupils in these schools from which 50 [per cent of all the converts won by ;the missionaries come, from 9,376 to [35,106,! number of American medical [missionaries employed from 12 to 19, [and number of medical treatments [given per year from 74,829 to 294,422. I So extensive has become the foreign [mission, work, as well as that of home [missions, state, missions, Christian, [education, hospitals, orphanages and [the work of ministerial relief fostered [by Southern Baptists, that the denom­ ination has grouped all these interests [into one general program known as !the 1925 Program of Southern Bap- Jtists, and all the 28,000 local white !Baptist churches of the South are [being asked to put on a budget that 'will adequately provide for all these . [causes, the budget to be raised ithrough an every-member canvass of [the churches every year. Take Special Offerings In April ' Inasmuch as a numbef- of the [churches have not yet completed their (Canvass and many churches which put ■it on did not enlist every member, the !Headquarters Committee of the 1925 I Program, In co-operation with the [various state secretaries, is asking [that Sunday, April 19, be observed :as a. day of special offerings in the [churches for-all the objects embraced [in this general Program.' Where a ,'church holds its regular services on lSomevOtlier Sunday than April 19, that [congregation is-asked to observe the Jday of its regular worship with spe- icial offerings' for these causes. By ! r,eason of the recent rapid expansion I of all the general causes of - the de- ; nomination, .and to enable the boards [and other agencies to discharge their !heavy obligations*, an-effort is being 'made to raise a minimum of $4,000,- ;000 in cash during the 'f I r s t four [months of 1925. It is with a view to i enlisting as nearly as possible every Weak Ib Back and Sides ! “Before the birth of my little girl,” says Mrs. Lena Stancil, of R. F. D. 2, Mat- i thews, Mo., “I was so weak in my back and sides I could not go about I, was too weak to stand up or do any work. I felt like my back was coming in two. I lost weight. I didn’t' eat any­ thing much and was so rest­ less I couldn't sleep nights. “My mother used to take CARDDI For Feinaie Troubles so I sent to get it I im­ proved, after my first bottle. Cardui is certainly a great help for nervousness and weak back. I took six bot­ tles of Cardui and by then I was well and * strong, just did fine from then on. Cardui helped me so much.” Thousands of weak, suf­ fering women have taken Cardui, knowing that it had helped their mothers or their friends, and soon gained strength and got rid of their pains.Cardui should do you a- lot of good.

For two years' Murdock Brothers cried in every possible way to put their message before the people.of Champaign, but they could find no substitute for newspaper advertis­ ing.

T his re­ presents a daily average 52 dead "5 6so injured. . ' N otw ithstanding the death total, the largest ever reported, the bu­ reau found signs of encouragem ent in a promvinced fall in the rate of increase of accidents. The increase in the m m iber of deaths in 1923 over Iigttres for 1922 was 20 per cent., while the increase in 1924 over the preceding year was only 4 per cent. This reduction in the rate of increase was attributed to organized campaigns to reduce ac­ cidents. A comparison of the automobile' death rate with the number of cars registered show s a steady decrease the bureau reported. In 1915, the number of deaths for every 10,000 automobiles was 24, each suceeding y e a r showing a decrease- until the figures for 1924 indicate only 9 6 deaths for every 10,000 cars. There are now ] 7 ,500,000 cars registered in the United States. Grade crossing accidents took a toll of deaths a decrease of 71 from the 19:3 total Siuce 1908 the death rate due to motor cars accidents has increased steadily until "today autom obiles cause more deaths than all other vehicles including trains and street cars, combined. 7; New State Speed Law Effective. Friday, May 1, the new autom o­ bile speed law perm itting 35 m iles per hour on the highways*,of North. Carolina became effective. T he uew law, according to C. W . .Rob­ erts, vice president of-the; Caroiftiai Motor Club, which organization" spotisored the increased speed, raises the limit by 6ve m iles to 12 per hour and retains the regula tion of 20 miles per hour in built up residential sections “No section of the state h igh ­ way shall be constituted a built up ; residental section, whether within or without the corporate liniits of city or town, if there are not more I than eight houses on either side of the road continously for 1,000 feet” is the construction of Mr. Roberts. Fifteen miles per hour is perm it- led while passing churches or schools—but this is only effective when people leaving or entering I lJte grounds. A t all others tim es times 35 miles is permissable. Wheu the driver's view is ob- I slrueted for ioo feet before be I rerclies iutersection road, he shall I slowdown to 15 miles. If he can ■ Vlew ljOth roads as designated, he »>ay travel the full 35 m iles pro- I yI led by law.

W hen old age begins to steal on and you look back over a- life of much hard work and som e accom ­ plishm ent. every man desires above everything else to see his son take up the job where he left off. If he is a m anufacturer, he wants to see his own son realize his own life long dream. H e wants the b.iy to be_at the head of the m omuioth concern that he him self helped to build. If h e isa fa r m e r he wants to see the son .im prove the place, take over an adjoining forty, erect new buildings, and become oue of the good, substantial farmers of the com m unity. But during recent years m any a farmer has .been disappointed. T he sons becom e restless— they want to leave-the farm as soon as they are o f age. _M uch has been written ou th is subject— the problem of keeping the boy on the farm. But the so­ lution to th e problem is not-so hard to find, a subscriber to the Tribune writes. •'■■■■■ “ I cam e face to face w ith this problem ,” he writes to the Editor, “ and I solved it by taking m y son into partnership'with m e. I gave him 'a deed to one-half of our farm, one-half of our livestock, and per­ sonal property to give him ' a foot­ hold and som ething to look forward to. T his plan has proved a decided success in our case.” Here is a real story sim ply told. Y ou can’t expect the son to remain on the farm if his status is to be re­ main, that of a hired hand— h e’s gotb etterstu ffin -v h iin n H a tr'th ^ r H e w ants.to be an awner, a pro prietor. H e’s chock fuil of ambi­ tion. T he only son who is worth keeping around the place is the son who w ill be interested ouly if he. has some. interest in the farm he is working. Our- subscribers concludes his letter w ith an adm onition to die farmers of Surry, W ilkes and Yad­ kin couuties. "G o th o u and do likew ise, be kind aud patient w ith each other’s failings, and work in tnony. By so doing yon w ill be m aking a more prosperous and hap­ py hom e.” — E lkinT ribU ne. Failures That Distress. Taylorsville reports that of 51 pupils entering the high school in town only 18 remained to com plete the course. T ins isn’t peculiar to Taylorsville. It is distressingly com m on in greater or less degree all over N orth Carolina and is one of the most discouraging things in connection w ith our educational progress— that'so m any young peo­ ple w ho have the opportunity Co com plete the high school course fail and refuse to go on. It is not to be expected that all -can, or should, go to college. A high school education is a fine basis, a really necessary besis, for further, educa lional training, and it is disturbing to think that so many are w illing to Sto 1 with less than that. It is of course a m isconception of the im portance ot the school training. T he process of educating is never- ending task. W e are more alive to the advantages not only, but the absolute necissity of educatiou than ever before in our history. And yet how far^short we are is illustrated by the Taylorsville case, which is but a sym p tom .. W hen near two t hirds of th e young people enter­ in g high school drop but before finishing the course we may realize •that thS w o r k , of educating is yet in Itsinjfancyi^ -S tatp ville D aily.

Something To Ponder. “ A d a n ceen d in g a fterm M n ig h t this (Sunday) m orning brought to a close the annual convention of fhe Clii Tau fraternity, held here,. "with the follow ing chapters repre sen ted. ” So reads ajdispatch under Greensboro date line of the 3rd the sam e being Sunday, to the Charlotte Observer. T he chapters repiesented at the convention of this Chi Tan fraternity (whatever that is), which was closed by a dance ending on Sunday morning, are listed in this same .dispatch as from Ihe follow ing education in­ stitutions: D uke U niversity of North Carolina, W ake Forest Col­ lege, Presbyterian College of South Carolina, Clinton; U niversity of California and Columbia University. There is no purpose here to -ar­ raign anybody for carrying Satur­ day night dances over into Sunday m orning. That is a m atter of opinion, of conscience. But atten­ tion is invited to the fact that three of the six .educational institutions sending chapter representatives to this Chi Tau fraternity convention are Church schools, are conducted under the auspices of. religious de­ nominations, and are usually re­ ferred to as institutions where “ Christian education” is obtainable to distinguish them from State in­ stitutions whete religion ‘ is not taught. There is uo -purpose to criticise the Church.schools because som e of their students (and all the students of Church schools are not Oljristians, of course,) participated in a dance that infringed on live' LordrS TDay1 Commbhly Called Sun ’ day. But it is the purpose to m en­ tion that m any.m inisters and pro­ m inent Church people seem m u:b disturbed 011 occasions lest the State institutions turn out a lot' of unbelievers. T hey fear that the State colleges are of the world worldly and that the influence com ing out of the State institutions is non-Christian. N ot going to dis cuss that, and iio point is made here for or against either State or Church schools. But it may be set dowu as a fact that if the name of the Church schools figures in the news reports as having representa tives at a dance that didn't stop at the stroke of 12 on Saturday night, a lot of folks will begin to wonder if the distinction between State and Church schools is so great as it is has been made to appear; and once more they turn tor the line of thought these same folks m ight conclude that the young man who went to a Church school as a m inis­ terial student, and reported to his honie folks that he was greately disturbed to find that som e of the teachers in the institution swore aw fully at times; m ight not have been so far wrong as they want to believe. —S tatesville D aijy. What Kind of Son Panisbes Father.

Mr: W agoners in his sermon Sunday morning. T his w riteris in hearty accord with the preacher, and all one needs to see proof, of it is to. open his eyes’and look about him. - We have heard parents say they cannot punish their ‘children be f>3 iiy they, love them too much.

N . W, Harrison, dean of meti of the institution, called the rebels together and requested that ihejt conform the rules and regu lati^tis o f etiquette in dress. “ If we put ' ou our coats, then the/flappers must put down their shirts, and put up their hose,” was theftext of their reply.

But. true economy merely means getting the most out of your money A man may want a fine eight cylin der car, ahd he may have the nec­ essary money. But he may also want a new home with-finer appoint­ ments, greater room, addition con­ venience?. He will weigh up the advantages of both to him and then decide to spend his money for the one that really means the most in the way of com fort, happiness, or whatever he desireC This is the thought we should ap ply to the word economy when it comes - to public expenditures for' public improvements. We.may want fine concrete highways through our city, we may want the most mobern Iightning systern attainable, we may want a park, better schools, a com­ munity hall But we cannot afford' to have all these things any more than the average individual can af ford to purchase everything tnat his heart desires.^ .We must economize on some things in ordei* to have others that we may really desire more. T hishasnotbeen the attitude of' most - communities during rscent years. The people of a city want everything at once. They vote for lavish improvements, and then growl when taxj)aving tim e rolls around. Ho.w much better it would be if we would scrutinize every proposed public expenditure in this way. De­ cide how much money our commu­ nity ought to expend for improve- m entsare most needed—what wiii give^ the’ greatest satisfaction and com fort to our citiz'ns. THe oustorti. of bonding for- every­ thing, that may come into our hands and then worrying _and-- growling when we find that bonding means in- the long ; run merely running into debt, is causing trouble throughout the width and breadth of bur land. We must have improvements to he surer: We m ust keep abreast of the times. Biit weAiust also economist) in the true meaning of the time.—Ex » ♦ ♦ * 'Kl"!' ■» q. !■ ■!. 1» IjI ,I, Ij, , j. j, ,I, / Summer Fabric Suits I t tS c o m f o r t t i m e i n a p p a r e l s t y l e .

The Record has betn severely criticised ou account of the few things it has said in regard to the Sut d iy blue law in Mt cksvi.le We don’t.niiud the criticism s or cuss iugs, provided they bear fruit, '' which it seem s they are going to do. Som e time last year the city fathers met and passed what wa.< termed a Sunday blue law. This law said that cafes aud restaurauts should close during certain hours ob Sunday— th it only cer.ain arti­ cles suould be sold. AU tobaccos, cigars, caudies, automobiles, cloth' iu g sales etc., should be prohibited ou Sunday, and that gas aud 01) should be sold only in cases of'uec- essity. S om eof the gas stations closed up when this law went into effect, while some others have been selling gas and oil on Sunday. The cafes are closing for two hours on Sunday, from 10 to 12 o’clock. Cold drinks and ice cream are being sold in connection with sandwiches; T he Kecord has contended and still contends that if it is wrong to buy a bottle drink without a sandwich it is wrong to buy the.bottled drink w ith the sandwich. W hen this blue law was passed so far as we know uo provision was made to en­ force it as the town-has no full-tijne policeman. A law with uo provi­ sion for enforcement is worse thaii no law at all. T he Recordbelieves in law enforcement and stands ready at all tim es to do all iu its power to, he) p en force t he laws. If the people of the town want a. blue law with' teeth in it —aud, a good officer to enforce, said law The R e­ cord will say amen and do all it Local Folks To Tour Europe.

In Ashe county at the November election a number of citizens of Old Fieds township were not permitted to vote for J. D.. Doraett, the Re publican candidate for congress from the eighth district on account of the fact that they could not read and write. The Democratic registrar and judge challenged these men and refused to allow them their *Cod given right of exercising the privi­ lege of a free-burn white tnamin this great country of ours in the year 1924 And this in spite of the fact that the late Governor Aycock and other Democratic spellbinders who went up and down the State in 1900 and said if the suffrage amentment to the constitution was adopted that no white man -in North Carolina would ever be deprived of his vote. In 1917 when the call for arms was sounded the white men of Ashe county eligible to fight for the flag were not asked by Fatn Bowie and other loud mouthed Democratic de­ magogues in Ashe if they could read and write but were told to go and go they did and fought fof their country. But after they come home they are denied voting for the Re publican candidate for president and congress because they cannot read and write. This is one of the ways the Democrats of this boss ridden State carry the election, by such rotten methods as this. These Democratic election officials who refused these free-born Ameri­ can citizens to vote in Ashe county lastyearw ereindictedbuta Demo cratic United States commissioner appointed by a Democratic ring po i tician member of the Iegislaturesaw to it that they were nofr-punished and they were turned loose at tne hearing the past week. Just how long the American gov­ ernment will stand for such us this hard to say but the day is coming and it may not be'far distant when we will have fair elections in North Carolina if it takes the whole stand­ ing army of the United States to see that it is done. The people are getting sick and tired "of being deprived if their honest Votes by such honest votes by such ringsters as Tam Bowie, A D. Watts, Cape Haj nes and others of that stripe and some of these days the worm wM turn. A tthelastlegislature a so-called Australian ballot law was put over on the voters of Ashe county which will open the war for more rascality and the one that was placed on the statute books bp Alex Shufordj the Democratic senotr from Catawba over the protest of the representa­ tive from that county goes a bow shot furtTer than anything ever at­ tempted in this State. A commuhicati: n in this paper from Newton tells of the unfair law that has been passed in Catawbaand we are of the opl i .n an I are not afraid to express inow, it that if the provisions of this infernal law are attempted to be carried out in Ca­ tawba n< xt election it will result Jn the loss of many valuable lives and th? Democratic legislature and Alex Shuford tn particular, will be to blame fo-i the uprising. The Repu­ blicans of Catawba county will just simply not stand for such a maledor- ous law as the one that an attempt will be made to be put in effect by the Democratic machine of that county.—Union Republican. Improvement “The first time I took Cardul I was In an awful ' bad way,” says Mrs. Ora Car- llle, B. F. D. 5, Troup, Texas. “I went fishing one day. A heavy storm came up and I got soaking wet in the rain. I was afflicted with awful smothering spells. ‘ I could not get my breath. My mother had some For Female Troubles In the house that she was taking, so she immediately began giving it to me. In a few days I got all right. “Last fall I got run-down in health. : I was weak and I puny and I began to suffer., I gj|{ would get so I could hardly walk. Having taken Cardui before, I sent to the store for a bottle of it. Almost- from Jlffii the first dose I could feel an jfra improvement H "Cardut haB helped me a lot and I am glad to recom­mend it. I don’t feel like the same woman I was last fall. My appetite is good now, and I’m sure it’s Cardui that’s made it pick up.” AU Druggists’E-113 The Faked Farmer. It is certainlya pathetic story a bout the old farmer in 1A ake coun ty who listened to the smooth ton gue of the fake stock promoter, on • Iy to find himself later beggared He ia reputed to have been worth $100,- 000 or more, but that was perha) s an exaggeration. However there is no mistake about the ,fact that he saw his lands and his money vanish- 1 d into the blue sky. He pauperized along for five years, when he de­ termined to rid society of his re­ sponsibility. and made application for admittance to the poor house—or the county home, as we would - say in this day of polite expression—but on the day he was carried to the graveyard. ' It is reported that he had sought the advice of home bankers and was told in plain words that the proposed investment was worthless, yet -that he put his all into the stocks, regardless. But whether he was so advised and so acted, his case is one to excite com- misseration, for he not only robbed himself, but he robbed a line of childred and grandchildren, these no doubt he believed, standing to bene­ fit by getting rich quickly One can only marvel how curious the fate that guided the footsteps of the stock sharps Io the doorway of this particular easy ' mark.—Charlotte Observer. Death Sits At Table. Innumerable stories are told: of the death and. suffering following the drinking of the so cal'ed whiskey being sold in this country today but the most ghastly tragedy yet por­ trayed happened in a northern city a few davs .Bgoi A man named Mayer, had invited four-of his male friends to dinner.. When found the host and his four friends were sit­ ting at the table in upright postures all of them dead. They had taken a drink from a bottle which stood Ket ween them. A friend who found th«n valked into the Ma er hoi e and slapped one>of them on Jthe back before discovering the tragedy Red berries were ^fouiid in the bottle whicfcwere discovered to. be "deadly poison;r ‘ /And yet-there: are many people' smarting under what they call cur­ tailment of their liberties, will buy the poisonous stuff from any' boot­ legger and think little of 'the risk they fun.—Hickory Record. • The merchant who is not -interest­ ed in his merchandise enough to ad­ vertise should hot' grumble when the mail order houses do a'flourish- ing Lu iness. - \ Newspaper And Crime. The Fayetteville Observer .recent­ ly tried out the experiment of-riot pfinting any crime news of any sort, the experiment "was intended to last two weeks, but at the end of the first week the pressure on the paper was so strong that the project bad to be abonded. It was a useless ex* p :riment; anyhow- The business of a paper is to tell its readers what is happening in the world, and if what is happening is bad, it is, none the less the paper’s business to. tell it- But there is in fact a great deal less bad news toid than many people would have us believe. The Univer sity of Pennsylvania has just - finish­ ed a study of eight leading news- paoers, covering eight months, and it finds that the front page space’ devoted to crime news, includirg n it only accounts of crimes com­ mitted, but also trials, investiga­ tion. arrests and accidents in-which there was an element of criminality, amounts to 22 5 per cent of the whole In other words, the papers are almost four-fifths absoluti y clean of anythinp suggesting prime. But there are some people whose minds are so constituted that if there is a two-inch crime story on an eight-column page they can’t .see anything else on that page and are convinced that the paper is full of crime news. That is a bad state of mind, but are the newspapers re­ sponsible for it? There are few is­ sues of the papers in which the. man who is looking for them , cannot find stimulating, helpful thin.'S. “ What­ soever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these .,things’’ and the crime news will- not do you a bit of harm.—Charity and Children. ; The Rights of The Boys. . The schoolbovs up Asheville way objected to the schoolgirls rolling- thing stockings (as if it was any of their business) and. after warning the boys retaliated by going to school without neckties. The prin­ cipal reproved the boys and told them not to go to class without neckties, and some of the teachers excluded them. A much ado about small matters. The sincerity of the boys’-objection to the rolling stock- i igs is questionable and if they don’t know that no male of the specious can dictate in the matter of female apparel or the style in which it'is worn, they-are due to find that out. But as a matter of justice, how come the boys are not dressed fittin’ for school - without neckties? There is the rankest discrimination in that ruling. Without reference to the rolled stocking=. who has authority to require an America freerrian to wear a necktie, or a collar even? Fashion requires it. of course. But - uppose~a male being dec'des to defy fashion and so without a collar, as some of them do at times and sea­ sons. who has the authority to ex- c ude thenecktieiiss or the c illarle s male from society because he hasn’t covered his neck? Can anybody say that a bare neclfTs indecent? If they do, what are they going to do about: the sisters? . . v : We have little- sympathy for. the Asheville boys’, issue of the rolled stockings, but we are very much in sympathy with .their right to' lea\e off neckties,.ai d collars, too; if they so will without' I eihg' cast out of society—Statesville Daily, ; ; ' V When a young roan’s fancy. lightly turiip -to a two p ssenger car, be ought to have enough for the first payment; at.lsast, -. . / .v DONT TRY TO JlAlSE your M y without it.

Memphis.—Three thousand messen­ gers to the southern Baptist conven­ tion attending a pre-convention con­ ference on evangelism here called up­ on the home mission board to reestab­ lish and enlarge its department of evaneglism. They also urged the 18 state mis­ sion boards in the convention area to inaugurate such departments and asked ,the 900 district associations to carry forward evangelistic campaigns with­ in their bounds. - . ■ Use radio to carry the evangelistic message was recommended, among other methods. - Resolutions offered by Dr. R. L. Scarborough, or Fort Worth, chair­ man of the conference, were adopted: an intensive evangelistic program throughout the home area and in for­ eign fields was indorsed. Baptist boards and activities, in­ cluding the schools, hospitals and orphanages were called upon to make evangelism the dominant note in all of their work, and rural and city churches alike were urged to utilize eyerjj opportunity for carrying the evangelistic message to residents of the south who profess no religion. Several speakers asserted that such a revival of religion as is contemplat­ ed would do much to cure unrest and crime In the country. Among them were Dr. M. E. Dodd, Shreveport, La.; C. E. Burts, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. H. C. Lee1 New Orleans; Dr. John E. White, Anderson, S. C.; Dr. W. T. Powell, Nashville, and Dr. Marshall €raig, Petersuburg1 Va. Dr.-John R. Sempey of Louisville, Ky., led in an hour ot prayer and Dr. G. H. Crutcher of New Orleans! led the devotional service. Speakers reaffirmed their faith in the old-fashioned Bible and plea'ded for a fuller proclamation of truths of the Bible. Ministers who obtain the topics for their sermons from the news­ papers were condemned.. Peace is Keynote of Women. Washington.—With a program of oratory devoted to peace, the Interna­ tional Council of Women ended its regular open sessions, leaving to a special meeting disposition of the un­ finished business, including action on an invitation to hold the 1920 quinpuen- nail convention at Brussels and a vote on changing its constitution to per­ mit affiliation of international organi­ zations. The convention passed with amend­ ments all resolutions of its agenda, touching a wide variety of subjects, including one commending, to its com­ ponent ’councils study of the sugges­ tion of the second opium conference of the league of nations for establish­ ment of a commission to study limita­ tion of opium production. Frau Anna Backer of Norway, third vioa president of the interantional council, who shares that, honor with Mrs. Phillip North Moore of St. Louis, president of the American council, pre­ sided at the session. Lady Aberdeen, the council’s president, was forced to forego delivery of her formal farewell address due to the strain on her Voice during the convention. Whiskey Ships Leave Rum ’Row. New York.—While coast guard offi­ cials were announcing that rum row gradually was crumbling under the dry navy’s blockade which opened a week ago, word came ashore that another liquor carrier, a big French steamer, had arrived on the row. The new steamer was loaded to the gunwales with 'a wet cargo, according to messages sent by wireless to the coast guard headquarters. She re­ ceived a warm greeting from the blockaders, for no sooner had she dropped her anchor than four of the dry navy’s vigilant pilot boats were buzzing about her, ringing ber in a circle designed to endure as long as the big ships may come.

EARNINGS IN C R E A S E D TWENTY-FIVE MILLION LAST YEAR. 1 Shreveport, La.—Combined net earn­ ings of the Standard Oil compnay of N ew Jersey and its subsidiaries in 1924 totaled $81,016,570, an increase of nearly $25,000,000 over 1923, Chair­ man A. C. Bedford announced in his annual report to stockholders. Sales of petroleum products during the year, he said, were -the largest in volume in the company’s history, and were reflected in.an expansion of more than $42,000,000 in gross income to a total of $409,995,806. After the payment of $13,998,103 in preferred dividends, the company’s earnings were equivalent to $3.30, or 12.2 per cent on the common shares, compared with $2.10 per share earned in 1923.. "Resuits of te Standard Oil com­ pany’s natural gas business and of subsidiaries e&gaged in collateral activities, Mr. Bedford explained, were in 1924, as in previous years, more satisifactory than the results arising from the oil business itself. • “Excessive competition, arising from an overproduction of crude and the resultant overaccumulation of finish­ ed products which has caused many of these products to be forced upon the. market at prices below their value,” he said, “has seriously mili­ tated against the prosperity ot the petroleum industry in the past four years. Better results should attend our operations when the industry is relieved of this problem." Millions in Taxes Paid By Tobacco. Washington.—Tobacco not only is a means for recreation and enjoyment, but is a major source of income i for the American farmer, Secretary Jar- dine declared in a prepared address at the national convention of the To- bao’co Merchants’ association. As a farm enterprise, he said, tobac­ co is exceeded only by corn, hay, cot­ ton, wheat and potatoes, and it has en­ riched domestic agriculture by mil­ lions of dollars. In the last SO years, he related, the area planted in tobac­ co has almost quadrupled and the eco­ nomic relationship • of tobacco to American agriculture as increased proportionately as farming itself has increased. “Tobaccp production,” he continued, “is one of those agricultural enter­ prises which are extremely complicat­ ed. So fai;, largely' because of their difficulty, relatively little progress has been made In the solution of the prob­ lems of the tobacco producer in com­ parison with the economic importance of the industry. “These problems must be solved if we are to be assured of the continu­ ance of tobacco production with profit and'respond in 'the spirit of service more and more to th^ demands and needs of the country^ in this field. “To solve the problems neither the efforts of the farmers themselves Jior those coupled with the efforts of the department of agriculture will be suf­ ficient. What is necessary is for -'all interests involved in this great indus­ try to join together with real co-oper­ ative spirit.” Commissioner Blair of the internal revenue bureau, told the convention that tax collections this year from to­ bacco were estimated at $345,000,000. The production of cigarettes this year, he added, is estimated at 73 billion, an increase of 56 billion over 10 years ago. ’ Veterans Called Upon. Washington.—A warning was given to all veatrans of the world war to hasten the filing of their applications under the adjusted compensation act, In the form ot ' a ruling Issued by Comptroller General McCarl which dis­ allowed payment on an application which had been started, but not com­ pleted, at the time of the applicant's death. Relatives of the veteran whose case was cited in the ruling found the .in­ complete application in Ws effects and filed it in behalt of his estate, but Mr. McCari ruled that it could not be con­ strued as valid. Deacons Get Saven Months. Shreveport.—Five inen, all deacons of the Atkins Avenue Baptist church, in Cedar Grove, a suburb, pleaded guilty to assault and battery and con­ spiracy to commit assauit in connec­ tion WithHhe flogging last January in Cedar Grove of Hubert Rampley. Testimony, showed that Rampley was whipped because he was’ keeping company with Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Skidmore, who was then suing her husband, for a divorce and whom Rampley has since married. The men were sentenced to seven months in* the parish jail. Heiress Bride \>f Lawyer. . New YorkA-Mias Abby Rockefeller; heiress to one of the greatest fortunes in the world, was married to David Meriwether Milton, young New York attorney, at a simple ceremony wit­ nessed only by members of the imme- diate.families and relatives. :_The wed­ ding took place in the drawing room of the home of ,John D. Rockefeller, Jr., her father, at .10 Wes.t 54th street. Rev. Cornelius Woelfkin 1 pastor of the Park Avenue . Baptist thurch, known as the “Rockefeller” church, performed the ceremony. PILOT AND TWO LADS DfE IN PLANE CRASH. Salt Lake City, Utah.—A. Claron Nelson, former superintendent of the western division .of the air mail service, piloting a commercial plane, and two passengers, Grant Christensen and Russell de Loge, bothe 15 years old, were instantly killed at Woodward flying field here when the plane went into a tail spin and fell from an altitude of 100 feet. The plane burst into flames and the bodies were badly charred. The plane had just taken off in the face of a strong west wind when it side-slipped and fell into a tail spin. TELLS OF SOUTH'S FUTUBE TELLS NEW YORK AUDIENCE OF THE NATURAL SOUTHERN RESORCES. New York.—Governor Thomas G. McLeod, of South Carolina, told mem­ bers of the Merchants’ Association of New York at a Ijincheon in Hotel Astor that America in the years just ahead may look to the southern states for large contributions to the nation’s industrial and intellectually advance­ ment, 1 I The luncheon was held in honor of industrial leaders ot 14 states promot­ ing' the southern exposition which opened in Grand Central palace. Governor McLeod said the future progress which he believes the south i3 destined to make has a3 its basis vast natural resources. In those things that have grown from the soil, “South Carolina and the south in general, can produce most all of these products and it has depended upon us to ciothe the world from ma­ terials which are grown in the south and we ask you to come there.” Other speakers at the luncheon were Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, sec­ retary of state of New York, and John Edgerton, Memphis, president of the national association of manufacturers. The exhibit of the industrial and agricultural products of the south oc­ cupy three floors of the palace. New York’s welcome to the south­ ern exposition was broadcast from station WYNC by Mayor John F. Hylan who declared it “the most am­ bitious undertaking of the kind ever attempted in behalf of southern de­ velopment." The exposition is to continue for two weeks. ./ Frick Estate Wins Suit. Washington.—Proceeds from life in­ surance policies totaling $474,000, left by Henry C. Frick for the benefit of his widow and daughter, were not sub­ jected to the federal estate tax under the revenue act of 1918, the supreme court held. The court held that the section which imposed a tax upon the proceeds of life insurance policies as a 'part of the estate was effective only upon policies written after the act went into force. Declares -a Holy War. Rabat, Morocco.—Information has reached here that Abd-El-Krim has de­ clared a holy war, and sent his brother Ahmed to the region of Xauen to raise troops among the Djebal tribes. These reports have had little influence on the tribes of the French zone, which, it is stated, have been assured' of protection by the; arrival of rein­ forcements for General Count De Champrun’s army. Island Points to Get Planes. Washington.—With the beginning of deliveries late this year of new army observation planes of long range scout­ ing types, war department officials ex­ pect to consider the question of giving priority to the Hawaiian and other overseas stations in bringing air ser­ vice equipment up to date. The maneuvers- just concluded in Hawaiian waters demonstrated so clearly the need of long range air scouts that officers are satisfied, even before receiving the report of Major- General Hines, chief of staff, and one of two chief umpires, that the situa­ tion must be corrected at the earliest possible moment. While it was not an unexpected result of the war game, the practical demonstration of the weakness in scout plane equipment was so striking as to make prompt action almost mandatory. Acting Secretary Dwight F. Davis said that no attempt to determine the priority question would be made until General Hines’ report had been receiv­ ed and digested. Since the first planes under the $2,000 ,000 ' project approved at the last session of Congress will not be delivered for six or eight months, he pointed out, there-Is no necessity for'imnledlate action on this point. Capture Bifl Still. New York.—Victories on land and sea were recorded by the government dry forces. The land victory was one of the most important government dry coups in months, involving the discovery of a whiskey distilling plant on the lower West Side and the seizure of $100,000 worth of synthetic rye whiskey-^ Raid­ ing prohibition agents said they were convinced the place was the source of much of the liquor that has reached the White Light district'during-the past few months. J - 400 US. SHIPS DEALr IF PUT THROUGH, WOULD TAKE CONSIDERABLiE fiM E TO COMPLETE. - ^ Detroit.—Henry Ford will purchase the 400 vessels of the United States shipping board if the' government will fix what he considers a fair price. The announcement was made by Mr. Ford, following a conference with T. V. O’Connor.' chairman -' of the ship­ ping board. O’Connor-is quoted as asking Ford to take over 200 ships in his original suggestion. However, when Ford in­ formed him' that he would only buy the ships to scrap them for junk, O’Connor suggested that he buy 'all 400, a 3 it would not cost much more to construct dismantling apparatus to handle the 400 ships than itvwould the lesser number. Ford agreed to this, saying that he might retain from 10 to 30 of the ships for use by Ford industries. If any ships were put in operation by Ford, they would be reconditioned and equipped as oil burners the arti­ cle states. Despite the tentative agreement, the matter of the sale *of the ships to Ford will not be cleared up for several months, it is estimated. The shipping board has been wary of making any agreement heretofore, as it felt if -the ships were sold abroad to be. scrapped, that promises might be broken and the ships might reappear under foreign flags In competition with American ships. “The ships were built during the war when everybody was crazy,” Ford was quoted as saying. “Most of them were thrown together in a great hurry. They were for an emergency and con­ sequently many of them were' not strongly built and some ot the engines put into them were pretty bad." ,“We have already purcased three vessels from the shipping board,” he added. “We took these three boats for pioneering and we know their limitations. Two of the boats are of about 3,000 tons. The third, the East Indian, is slightly larger and Is now being put into shape for service to Denmark, which we hope will begin about August I.” 44 Babies Die .at “Baby Farm.” New York.—Records ot the Bureau of Vital Statistics were made' public showing that 44 babies died in two “baby farms” conducted by Mrs. Helen Auguste Geisen-Volk in this city sljjce 1918. Mrs. Geisen-Volk is being held in $36,000 bail on charges resulting from investigation of the institutions. The records of the deaths were turned over to Assistant District At­ torney Ryan, who is in charge ot the investigation of charges against Mrs. Geisen-Volk. These charges are that she substituted babies placed in her care and that she exceeded the limit of her health -department license In the number of infants accepted for her institution. The- bodies of two babies are being ehumed to determine the causes of their death after they had been in the woman’s “baby farm.” -- Non-Crashable Plane in Fall. Washington.—A non-crashable navy seaplane designed to reduce airplane fatalities, had an unscheduled but sue-, cessful test here when it fell during a flight without serious inujry to its oc­ cupants. The plane, known as the M;-B-l, is designed to make a nose spin to the earth practically impossible. Upon go­ ing into a spin instead of .continuing and driving into the ground it flattens out after about four revolutions and while continuing to descend in a spin does so on a flat plane and more' grad­ ually than if it were diving nose-first to the earth. The plane performed according to schedule and landed with little damage to itself and practically none to its crew. French Reach Basis For Debt. Washington,—Official word from Paris that concrete proposals as a basis for a French debt'refunding set­ tlement would be forthcoming this month was eagrely awaited by Wash-, ington officials after Associated Press dispatches had given them their first knowledge that the Pafls cabinet had decided upon such a step. In the absence of some authorita­ tive indication a 3 to what method of settlement the French government would advance, officials had nothing to say except to indicate their pleas­ ure-that the differences with relation to the French debt settlement at least appeared to be vanishing. They char­ acterized the situation as the most im­ portant development in many months in regard to the debt problem and gave every evidence of pleasure that the French government at last had found itself in a position to make a definite move. Seaman Dies In Boat Explosion. Boston.—Joseph H. McGrean1 a sea­ man on the coast guard patrol boat 2337, was drowned W. E. Mills,' another seaman, was badly burned about the face and hands, and two more men escaped injury by leaping into the water -when the after-gasoline tank of the boat blew and showered them with burning gasolifte. Mills was taken to City Point coast guard station for treatment. His con­ dition was not serious, it-was said. *’ Harbor police are attempting to re­ cover the body of .McGrean.

C. EXPERIENCE QF T H E F R E E C H A PT E R X V III— C ontinued —14— But if Leboeuf did not quite under­ stand what Lee was trying to tell him, he 'understood enough to send him Into a flaming fury. He shook his fists. He danced. His face grew red with blood. He seemed transformed once again into that monstrous, ape­ like creature with whom Lee had en­ gaged in that desperate duel in the chasm. v “We must save her, Leboeuf,” Lee exclaimed. “We must go at once.” “We must go at once, Monsieur. But one cannot return that way. There is' only one way into the mine beneath the stone. No one can breast this river. I shall show you. But wait!” He disappeared within a small cav­ ern In the mountain, and reappeared in a moment or two carrying a rifle.. “Now, Monsieur, there is no time to lose. I shall pick them off one by one as they come out of the house. Eh1 my little Joyce in the hands of that devil! But my master has shown me In a dream that she shall not be harmed. Still, it was the last words ray master spoke to ine while he was alive, that I should protect her from him, and he has warned me many times in dreams also. Eh, this way, Monsieur I” Lee, feeling recuperated, despite the throbbing of his bruised scalp, fol­ lowed the old man along the narrow coping of rock beside the cataract. In a little while the path grew wider, the rocky walls fell back, becoming out­ lying spurs of the mountains. The i oar of the cataract grew faint behind them. They continued down a gentle gradient into a level plain. The forest closed about them. Then, when they had been proceed­ ing for about half an hour, the forest suddenly came to an end, and to Lee’s amazement, he found himself standing near the bank of the main river which flowed through Slston lake. He could not have been more than half a mile from the log house. But they heard the sudden throb­ bing of the motor boat! Lee ground his teeth. In an instant old Leboeuf had pulled him down behind the shel-’ ter of a rock. Then they heard Joyce scream. Again and " again her agonized cries rang out. Lee tried to leap to his feet; he would have flung himself into the river, but the Indian's iron arms en­ circled him. And, as he tried to cry out In answer, a hand closed over his mouth. Next, minute the motor boat shot Into mid stream. It contained Bath­ way and his three aides;' there was something huddled in the bottom of the boat, undoubtedly Joyce; and there was no doubt that they were making for Slston lake. And all the while Joyce screamed, and Lee struggled in the Indian’s grasp, and tried to cry out, but he could not move or utter a sound. “Monsieur I Think of her!” Leboeuf was hissing in his ear. “It is useless to betray yourself. We do what we can. You understand? You promise?” And suddenly reason came back to Lee. He nodded and Leboeuf _ re­ leased him. But the next instant it was Lee who knocked up Lebouefs hand as the old man was drawing a bead upon the boat, now some hundred yards away from them In the middle of the stream. Leboeuf looked at him reproachfully. “Monsieur, I could have killed him. I do not err at the mark, Monsieur.” Again he was about to take aim, but Lee caught the rifle in his hand. “No, no, Leboeuf. She must not be left to the mercy of those three men. So long as Bathway lives there is a shade of hope for her. Don’t you un­ derstand?" Comprehension came to the old In­ dian. He lowered the rifle. Joyce had ceased to cry out, and in dumb helplessness the two men watched the motor boat shoot past them and disappear around the curve of the shore. They looked at each other. “If any harm has come to her,” said Lee, "I swear that I’ll kill Eathway like the. hound that he Is.” “Good!” Leboeuf nodded vigorously. “Some men are like the carcajou, Mon­ sieur. Yes, he must die. He has done harm enough for one man, and I think Ie bon Dieu1 who is so patient, has grown weary of him. But what will you do now, Monsieur?” “Go to Siston lake. Take her away or. die there.” “Very good, Monsieur. That was my own plan also. But it Is a journey of a night and a day, Monsieur, and it Js necessary to eat, also to take food with us.” Lee was for starting immediately, but Leboeuf persuaded him. They were to return to the log house, to see If any' provisions had been left behind. If not, they were to go through the mine and to Leboeufs den in the rocks, which could be reached by fording the edge of the subterran­ ean stream. It gave access In one way, but not in the other. And Le boeufs decision proved a fortunate one, for at the door of the log house they met Father McGrath, his rifle across his back. “Thank God Fve found ye, Ander­ son!” he cried. “I couldna sleep all the nicht for. troublln'' about ye and that puir lassie. So before the dawn I started off to mak’ sure that no evil thing had happened beyond what couldna be avoided. ' But what has happened, and whnur is she, and that band o’ skunks?” Lee told him as concisely as pos­ sible while old Leboeuf, bustling in­ side the house, brought out some flour and bacon that the gang had left be­ hind, and proceeded to prepare a meal. Father McGrath listened, uttering sharp expletives which sounded re­ markably like clipped oaths, deprived of their harmful characteristics by the alteration of an occasional consonant. “Aye, and I’m no surprised,” he said. 'Tis but what I’d have expected. But still, what can ye do, Anderson? The law’s the law, whether of God or mon, an’ that compact ye made wl’ Bathway has na bindln’ power.” ‘I can arrest him for, attempted murder.” The priest laid a hand on his shoul­ der. “Ye canna do that, lad,” he an­ swered. “There’s na court In the land would convict him. In the flrrst place, though ye meant only to save the lassie from him, there's na Jury would believe it. They’d say that compact by which ye were to get Ills wife, for the mine stinks in the sight o’ heaven. Aye, and they’d say ye arrested him to get the wumman. Aye, and, fur- thermair, ye canna shame her by bringin’ her into court as a witness. Na, lad, ye’ll e’en ha’ to let it go. “Ye fought a guid fight for her, lad, but there’s naething more to do. Nor can ye arrest him for hootch-sellin’, for that wud be meexin’ up public duty wi’ private vengeance. Ye’ll see it, lad, when ye grow cool.” The shrewd, hard, common sense seemed to turn Lee’s heart to stone. He knew Father McGrath was right. There was nothing he could do. He could not even attempt the arrest of Pierre and Shorty for the dynamiting without bringing the whole story into publicity. And he knew well enough that, prlma facie, it looked simply like an attempt on his part to possess himself of the wife of another man. Then there was the discredit that such a case would bring on the police. But as he stood there, feeling his last hopes gone, Leboeuf laid down his skillet and came toward them. The old man had overheard all that had B y V ic to r R o u s s e a u (Copyright by W. G. Chapman.) WNU Service. 'Listen, Messieurs,” Leboeuf said, now I can tell you what I know. I have known JIm Bathway under many other names, since, when he was a young .man, he first came into this district to sell drink to my people. 'Messieurs, many years have gone by—twenty years—since he came to Lake Misquash, where my people had their tepees. He was a friend to us. He trapped, and, if he sold a little whisky, that was between ourselves, yon understand, Monsieur. And he was my friend. 'One day we both start to take the furs from our trap lines. His line runs east and mine runs west. I leave my woman In my tepee. A young wife, Messieurs, much younger than myself. In one week I return. My tepee is empty. My woman Is gone. So, too, my furs. ‘Later I learn. She has gone with Bathway. He keep her six weeks. Then he drive her away into the for­ est. She dare not return to her own people. So she go south to the cities of the white people. Long I search for her, but I never find her. You know what happens to our women in the cities of the white men, Messieurs. “Then my heart becomes hard, like a stone. As for her, she is nothing to me no lohger. But some day I find Bathway again, and then I kill him. ‘Well, Messieurs, many years ago I come here. I work for my master, Mr, Pelly. H e'trusts me. He tells me the secret that he has come here to hide. He shows me the mine 'that he has found. And for years we work it together, taking out the gold. He want me to take a share, but gold is nothing to me, now that I have the revenge In my heart. It shall be all foi him. and Mam’zelle Joyce SQme day. • “Then Bathway comes. My people have caught him doing another such a wrong, but my master tells them to forgive, and because they love my master, they do not injure him. So the peace is laid upon me also. “But I tell my master what Bath­ way did to my woman, and he turns back in time to save Mam’zelle Joyce from him. He shoots him through the arm. And Bathway smiles and tells him he has learned the secret that can bring my master to die. ‘After that my master is as his ser­ vant. And again I say, let me kill him, and again my master says no. And he obeys Bathway In fear, only he would never show him the mine, which is for Mam’zelle Joyce. 'Night after night Eathway follows us, but always he loses us at the rocking stone, for he cannot come near enough to discover the secret without being seen. Then Mamfzelle Joyce goes away to sphool, and after that Bath­ way gives my master no peace. And at last he betrays him, thinking that when my master has been hung for the murder, the mine becomes Mam­ ’zelle Joyce’s, and he wilt inarry her and It will be his own. “And so a policeman comes here— that was during the war. But my master could not be found, for he was dead already. You see, Messieurs, Bathway thought perhaps- he would not be hung after all, since it-was so long since my master killed his enemy, and so the mine would not be his; and so—he murders him.” “What’s that?” cried Lee, starting toward Leboeuf. “He kills my master, Monsieur.’ “You saw -this?” “Yes, Monsieur. It was near the rocking stone. Bathway had followed him and demanded knowledge of the entrance. He threatened him with his revolver. My master drew his and Bathway fired. My master dropped dead. Kathway flung his body over the cliff into the mine not knowing that it was the mine. He thought that it would never be found." Lee turned to Father McGrath. “I’m going to save her now,” he cried exultantly. “I am authorized to take any necessary action. In connection with Pelly’s death, and I propose to put Bathway under arrest and bring him In to Manistree. Leboeuf, you will swear In court you saw this mur­ der?” “I saw it, Monsieur, from the tun­ nel, but I could not have stopped It, and so I hid, lest Bathway should find the entrance. Afterward I was afraid. I am old now, not like I was when Bathway stole my woman from me. I was afraid of him. And my master comes to me In dreams and says, ‘Not yet, Leboeuf!' ” Lee gripped the old man by the arm. "Leboeuf, will you come to Siston lake with me and help me arrest Bathway? We’ll both probably get killed, but I’m going If I have to go alone.” “I will go with you, Monsieur,” an­ swered Leboeuf quietly. “Two of us against six. But—” “Haud harrd, mon!” cried Father McGrath. "Wull I be too old, think ye, to help ye arrest that rascally, murrderous hooch peddler and clean oot that nest o’ skunks wi’ ye?” “You, Father?” “Aye, mysel’,” answered the priest. “’Twas surely a lucky Impulse that made me bring this rifle wl’ me. I doot na, Anderson, but the three o’ us can render a guid account o’ our­ selves.” “And see, Monsieur,” said old Le­ boeuf, stepping toward the house. He stooped and picked up the rifle Father McGrath had given Lee. Lee He Stooped and Picked Up the Rifle Father McGrath Had Given Lee. had let It fall In the snow the night before when he was surprised by Estelle. The weapon, nearly hidden in the drift beneath the window, had escaped - the notice of the gang, Lee opened the breech and found six rounds in the magazine. “We’ll'ha’ six round apiece, and if we’re prrudent, we won’t need that many,” said Father McGrath. “Ye ha’ six in yours, Leboeuf?” But tbe Indian had a single-loading rifle, an old Winchester. However, he pulled a handful of cartridges out of his pocket. "That’s good enough,” said Lee. After packing a little food to suf­ fice them on the journey, they started along the trail. Some little distance from the house, however, Leboeuf showed to Father McGrath and Lee the prints of double horse-tracks, going and returning. , Leboeuf stooped and examined them. “It is the horse of Bathway’s woman,” he pronounced. And with that Lee recalled his in­ terrupted conversation with Estelle the night before. “You don’t have to commit murder to get her,” she had said. But Joyce’s appearance had broken off their conversation. And he wondered what it was that Estelle could have told him, and what It was beyond jealousy of Joyce, that had brought her In. Bathway’s wake. Father McGrath turned to jiim. “By the way, lad, there’s more than six— there’s nine or ten of that h—l’s crew,” hb said. CHAPTER XIX , Flimsy Bars Bathway confronted Estelle with bitter hate in his look as she' came sup to him. “Well, where have you been?” he de­ manded roughly. “What’s that to you?” Estelle re­torted;- “See here! You think I’m going to have you prowling all round the conn* try, doing God knows what, when Tin keeping you here?’ His eyes roamed over her. He saw that her clothes were splashed with muddy snow. He saw the fatigue In her bearing. •‘By God, you followed me!” ' he cried. He seized her fiercely by the wrists. Estelle looked into his face, laughing contemptuously. Bathway’s eyes fell. He swore under his breath. “You think yon can frighten me by violence, Jim? You ought to have learned by now that that doesn’t pay. Which did you bring back, the girl or the gold?” Bathway writhed under the sting of her contempt. “You were eavesdrop­ ping outside the house, d—n you!” Suddenly he changed his tone. “Both !” he cried exultantly. “I’ve got the girl, and I’ve cached the gold near here, where no one can find It.” His rage broke out again. "I’ve had enough of your tongue I” he cried. 'TH have no spies In my camp. ,You could put a rope around my neck/with what you know. By God, Estelle, a little common sense should tell you you’re playing with fire when you try to cross me. I’ve never treated you mean with money. You’ll have enough to live in comfort on for the rest of your life If—” “What have you done with Ander­ son?” asked Estelle'quietly. “Anderson’s where he’ll cause no further trouble.” "You mean you—you killed him, after—after your agreement?” “D—n you, you heard that, did you?” shouted Bathway, turning livid with fear. “No, I didn’t kill him, if you want to know. He met with an ac­ cident. “See here, Estelle,” he continued, “you and me’ve got to work together on this game and not try to cross one another. Play fair with me and Pll play fair with you. I ,want you to make that girl act sensible. She’s like a tigress. Now you’re an intelligent woman. You know how I feel about her, and quarrelling won’t help mat­ ters. It won’t last, and then I’ll come back to you—’’ Estelle drew her hands'out of Rath- way’s grasp and placed them on his shoulders, looking searchingly into his face.' “Now, Jim, I want you just to lis­ ten to me,” she said. “You know you’ve never gone wrong when you’ve followed my advice. And I guess you know I’m the only friend you’ve got In the world, don’t you, Jim?" “Well, what if that’s so?” he mut­ tered. “I told you you’d made a mistake in bringing that girl here before.” “Aye,” he sneered, “and yob told me old Pelly’s mine didn’t exist. And I’ve got the gold! I’ve got the gold, I tell you!” he cried exultantly. “I was wrong, then, but that was a matter of fact and not of judgment. Jim, you know this is nothing but an infatuation of yours. As you said, It won’t last. Anfi what are you going to do with her afterward? You know what .It’ll'mean to you.” Estelle was pleading now. “You know when Mc­ Grath learns the truth, he’ll-raise the whole country against you. Let her go, Jim. What do you mean to do?” “You know what I mean to do!” snarled Rathway; but be could not meet her gaze. Estelle laid her hand on his arm. “Jim, did you ever have pity on any one In your life?” she asked. “Oh, maybe, when I was young and foolish.” ‘ “Did you ever feel respect for any woman, Jim?” “Ah, cut out that line of talk, Es­ telle! Don’t try to ride the moral horse when it's Just plain jealousy- one female .jealous of another. That’s all It is.” “It’s not, Jim. And you’ll regret what you’re planning to do. Jim, I—I feel you’re slipping your neck into a noose—” He leaped back, and swore violently at her. “Cut out that talk, I tell you I” he shouted; almost beside himself. “Jim, listen—just listen. I guess I’m not what anyone would call a good woman, but I was like that girl once, and—I can’t bear It, Jim. Jim, PU do anything in the world for you if you’ll have pity on her. It may be there’s jealousy, too, but it’s much more— much more for her sake—and for yours.” ' . . EBtelIe was working herself into one of her hysterical frenzies. Eathway grew crafty. It ls not easy,for a man to fool a woman, except when she is In love with him. Then it isn’t very hard. And Estelle was desperately eager to be deceived. ( “See. here, Estelle,” said Bathway gently, "you know'If I let her go what would happen. I’ve got to keep her here till I know there’s going .to be no come back. Pve got to see this thing through. She’ll come to no harm at my hands.” Estelle iopked .at him eagerly, “Jim, you mean that?” she cried. ltYou swear that you mean it?” “I mean, more than that You know me and you are partners, through thick and thin, for a good while now,..though we’ve had our quarrels. Well, I won’t deny what you said about an infatuation^ But I’m getting to see things reasonable. And you’re' my old partner, Stella.” I What a fool , the- woman was all women were I She was CllngHng t0 Mm, looking up at him with tbet ab­ surd expression on her face that had once set his heart leaping. HoW he hated her! ■ “Jim I Jim, dear. If I could daro to believe wbat you’re saying—” “Oh, I guess you can believe me, Stella,” . Bathway answered easily. ,’TH have to keep her here a week or so, just to show McGrath Tm not run­ ning away. You see, there’s- Ander­ son’s accident. He fell down the cliff —killed at once, of course; and If I was to go away now, they’d think there’d been foul play or something.” ‘■‘You—you swear It was an accident, Jim?” “Sure It was! So you see, Stella, I’ve got to keep her here a little while. Then we’ll get away from here for­ ever, yon and me, and the gold.” “Oh, Jim, you’ve made me happier than Tve been"since—since you seemed to cease to care. You do care for me a little, Jlm 7” she asked, nestling against him. • “As much as ever,” answered Bath- wgy. And, as she twined her arms about his neck, he bent, and kissed her. It was the kiss of Judas. But Estelle, happy again to feel her love returned, only lifted her lips to his In a touch that made him wince at his own treachery. “Then TC! go and stay with that poor girl tonight, Jim, dear," she said, “and tell hex that there’s nothteg to be afraid of.” Rathway, taken by senjriea .man­ aged to keep his countenance, but when Estelle had departed for the hut, he broke Into almost maniacal curses. D—n her! She had trfekej him with her very innocence! And once again he found himself In the old predicament: he could take the gold and leave the girl, or he could wait till the opportunity arose to take Joyce, certain that meanwhile his men would demand their shares. Eight of them I He fell into a gnashing fury. He had risked so much, and this fool of a woman had balked him at thie end! Hour after hour that night Estelle sat beside Joyce in the hut amopg the reeds,, soothing her, mothering her, codxing her to eat, and trying to re­ store her tottering mind to sanity. Hour after hour, Joyce, at her side, sat staring out into the darkness, and did not utter a word. And hour after hour Rathway sat drinking In his but on the promontory, and seeking that intoxication that per­ sisted in, eluding him, without which he could-not shake off the uncertain­ ties that oppressed him. He must get Estelle out of the way. The thought of Joyce was unbearable —Joyte, whom he had caught a second time, only to find himself enmeshed In a web of unforeseen things, flimsy, and yet like iron bars between them. If be attacked Estelle she would shrink from nothing. She carried a pistol, too. He dared not stain his hands with another murder. He was afraid of her trust In him, which had disarmed him; and, to be fair with him, he shrank from such a finale to his. association with her. The face of Lee, upturned and white and ghastly In the current, stared at him' from the walls, as Pelly’s used to do. He shook his fist at i t It drove him out, to pace the promon­ tory; then he would return and hurl himself into his chair savagely, and drink again. And again he would fling himself from the hut; and all tbe while the conflict raged In his soul. He could hear his men muttering about the fire. They were drunk, no doubt, but they had never acted that way In drunkenness before. Something was brewing. He must act that night He must act soon. He must gag that wild cat, Estelle. And the face of. Joyce, rose up be­ fore his eyes again. He went back, drained his glass, put out his light He waited a minute till the liquor be­ gan to race through his veins, plan­ ning what he should do— “Jim !” He started. His hands leaped to his pistol as two shadows glided In through the doorway. Shorty and Pierre ad­ vanced openly toward him. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

With such freedom the hen frequently takes her brood through -wet grass and, as a result, some are chilled and die, espe­ cially the weaker ones which are likely to be left behind. Tbe loss of young chicks which follows such a practice is large and mainly prevent­ able. Furthermore, the food which a brood allowed to range with the hen obtains goes very largely to keep up the heat of the body and the chicks do not make as good growth as they othgrwjse would. Chick losses of this nature can be largely prevented by shutting the hen In a coop. Any style of coop which Is dry, ventilated, and can be closed at night to protect the brood against cats, rats and other animals, and which, while confining the hen, will allow i the chicks to pass In and out freely after they are a few days old, will be satisfactory. The hen should be confined until the chicks are weaned, though a small yard may be attached to the coop, if desired, to al­ low the hen to exercise. The fence can be raised from the ground far enough to allow the chicks to 'go In or out, but not high enough for the hen to escape. By using the coop the chicks can find shelter and warmth undSb the hen at any time and the weaklings, after a few days, may develop into strong, healthy chicks. When chicks are raised with hens, they are likely to become infested with lice. If the lice get very numer­ ous, they greatly retard the chicks’ growth and may even cause their death. The hen should be powdered thoroughly with some good insect pow­ der before she is put in the coop with the chicks, and at intervals of several days or a week thereafter. The baby chicks should be examined for lice, par­ ticularly on the head, under the wings and about the vent If any are found, a little, grease, such as lard, should be fubbed in those places. Apply grease moderately, as too much will itijure the chicks. Tlie chicks should be examined frequently and the treat­ ment repeated if lice are found on them.

The chick mash recommended by the New Jersey experiment station consists of three parts of wheat bran to one each • of sifted ground oats, commeal, flour wheat middlings and finely ground meat scrap. With one part of bran, instead of three, and no necessity for sifting the ground oats or finely grind­ ing the meat scrap, this would make as good a laying mash as could be compounded. The above would make a very good mash to be fed- with equal parts of cracked corn and wheat. After four to six weeks chicks will eat coarser cracked corn and whole wheat and do not need to have the hulls sifted from ground oats. An excess of meat scrap or of green food might cause some looseness of the bowels. Whatever the cause, It should be cor­ rected; added, amount of wheat mid­ dlings would not avail. G r e e n F e e d s f o r F o w ls D u r in g th e E n tir e Y e a r Fowls need green feed of some kind all the year round. It should be sup­ plied to hens confined In small yards an& to all hens during the winter when no natural green- feed is avail­ able In the yards. Free range or, large yards will furnish ideal condi­ tions for green feed, and' this factor is one of the most important in rais­ ing poultry profitably on farms where the birds are supplied from cheap, natural sources. Where smaller yards have to be used, they should be divided into two parts and used alternately, planting the vacant section two or three times yearly with quick-growing green crops of rape, oats, wheat, rye, or barley. This furnishes green feed and also helps to keep the yards sweet, clean and sanitary, which is perhaps the most important consideration In making poultry pay- t Good kinds of green feeds are sprouted oats, alfalfa, meal, chopped qi-fnifn and clover hay, cabbages, and mangel beets. In ordinary cellars cabbages do not keep so well as man­ gel beetsi so they should be used up first W h y L ittle C h ic k s D ie Chicks die In the shell because of lack of vigor in the breeding stock, lack of moisture, overheating or chill­ ing of the eggs and other causes which are hard to explain.

Galveston, Tex.—The recent taking over of the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass railroad by the Southern Pacific calls to mind the fact that when the transcontinental line of the latter sys­ tem was constructed through Texas lawless conditions existed in the .fron­ tier region. Jess Fry, who is well known to'the shipping and business interests of Galveston, .was a= sort of advance man for the Southern Pacific in those days. He performed the duty of opening ail new stations as the -road progressed through western Texas. In this ca­ pacity he served as station agent, ex­ press agent and telegraph operator, and incidentally he had many unusual experiences. One Experience. “One night," said Mr. Fry, “soon after the station of Dryden, 395 miles .west of San Antonio, was opened and I had been put In charge of it, some­ thing occurred that did not impress.me much at the time as it did ,later. . “The west-bound passenger train came in. I had gone up to the express and baggage cars. The train porter and I were getting off a trunk when a young man who evidently had left the train came up and assisted me with the trunk. ‘After the train pulled away he asked me to direct him to the hotel. I told him there'was no hotel in Dry­ den. The station house was the only edifice in the place, except a few Mexi­ can jacals of mud and straw. AU the other habitations were tents. As soon1 as I bad handled the train and had a chance to draw an easy breath the young man said: “ ‘Is there a box here for me? My name Is Raymond Pacheco.’ ‘He said he was expecting a small box by express to Dryden from St. Louis. He said he thought it might have reached Dryden ahead of him. No box had come for him. Stranger Taken In. ‘As there was no other place for.hlm to stay that night and I could not turn him out, I invited him to spend’ the night inside the station with me. I found him an agreeable, entertaining and exceedingly well'bred young man. He told me he was the son of a for­ mer governor of California and a graduate of Tale. I had no>reason to doubt either statement. 'My guest was highly educated and he also played the mandolin and sang well. We spent the night pleasantly, neither of us going to sleep until late. “His coming to the lonely place broke a fit of loneliness that had been increasing with me. as the new sta­ tions on the railways got farther away from San Antonio. I was glad to learn that he intended to remain a short time. He said he was likely to stay until- the box he was looking for came. Camp Near Station. ‘Next morning h£ built a camp not very far from the station house. I would have been glad to let him stay In the depot, but the company rules would not permit my having a perma­ nent guest. He seemed to be used to camp life. He was an all-around handy sort of fellow. He soon had his camp In good habitable, shape. “He had a good Winchester rifle and a pair .of six-shooters and . he purchased a horse and other necessaries of out- of-door life In that region. I asked him what his occupation was and he told me he was a miner. He likewise told me he intended to: prospect for paying minerals in the mountains in Mexico. These mountains were Just across the IUo Grande and only a few miles from Dryden. In fact, they were In plain view. Pacheco took sev­ eral trips, and In all likelihood went into these mountains while he was in the neighborhood and waiting-for his box. ‘Pacheco finally received the box. It was a small wooden box, not more than a foot long and six inches high, it was, however, bound around the edges with broad metal bands and securely nailed. • Letters From Woman. “Afterward I got the idea that prob­ ably it had treen shipped by a woman, because before receiving the: box, sev­ eral letters.! had come tcr-him at Pry- den. As I was postmaster, the letters passed through my hands. They evi­ dently were written by a woman; -at least the addresses indicated this. Pacheco always went off by himself to read them. These facts I remembered later. “There was nothing about the box to indicate its contents. Neither was there-anything in the waybill'accom­ panying it to show that it had as valu­ able contents as I afterward became satisfied ’it possessed. It would not have attracted attention among other boxSs, and the only thing that drew my attention 'to ,it was the iron bands around it. I paid much Jess attention to it than I did to the handsome trunk. In fact, I took quite a fancy to this trunk, and it became my property. ■‘When fie got the box he told me his business was not likely to bring him back to Dryden and that his trunk was too bulky for him to take with him, so lie gave it to me and. I kept it until the baggage smashers on the road finished it up and it had to go to the junk pile. . Old Newspaper Left. “When Pacheco left Dryden, he rode his horse, taking such articles as he could 'carry handily, but leaving a lot of rubbish, among which was a St.. Louis newspaper that I picked up and put away, intending at my leisure to read. “Reading matter was rather scarce, and even baek-number St. Louis news­ papers were interesting. This one aft­ erward proved to be of thrilling inter­ est. I did not read it, however, until after another stranger had come to Dryden. . He was a large man. He dropped off the train a' few days after Pacheco had gone. “He lost no time in showing me his badge. It was that of chief detective and special secret service officer of the Adams Express and Wells Fargo Express companies. He said his name was Russell. He had letters to prove his Identity and commissions to estab- iish his authority. “He asked immediately if the box addressed to Raymond Pacheco, sent to Dryden from St. Louis, had arrived, if so, if it had, been delivered. I told him it had. Until then I had not at­ tached much importance to the box. Mr. Russell then asked to see the -way­ bill and the receipt book. I showed them to him promptly. He then put me through the sweating process, by which he learned all I could tell him of my quondam friend, Raymond Pacheco. As soon as he was satisfied that I had correctly informed, him he went in quest of Pacheco in Mexico. $28,000 In Box. ' ‘I asked Russell to tell me all he could about Pacheco and the box. He said he did not have time to talk. He, however, remarked that the box had, when it arrived at Dryden, contained $28,000 in currency and gold that had been stolen from an express car and messenger in the suburbs of St. Louis, about two weeks before. “Russell, like all detectives, was sus­ picious of everything, ^and put me through a course of cross-questions. I thought he was going to make' me con­ fess to the robbery at St. Louis before he got through with me. Likewise, I thought he was going to take the trunk which Pacheco had given to me for evi­ dence in the case. I have wondered ever since why he did not do so and why he did not come back to Dryden and get It after he got back from Mexico. “His search In the mountains In Mexico for Pacheco must have been fruitless. These mountains are. full of caverns in which Pacheco could have hidden himself and his treasure as •long as he wanted to. I am inclined, however, to the belief that Pacheco .did not linger long in the mountains. My belief is that he went to some South American or Central American country immediately after getting the box. If he remained in Mexico, I think it likely thgt he went to the Pacific coast and Into Lower California. Story of Robbery. “After. Russell left and my nerves got steady I hauled out the two-weeks- old St. Louis newspaper that Pacheco had left. One of the first articles that I glanced at was on the first page and under a scare head In the blackest and M i l l w Above is , pictured the newly de­ signed municipal telephone booths in Gothenburg, Sweden, containing ven­ tilation space at the bottom by means of open lattice work. In Sweden the telephone booths are stationed at con­ venient corners, instead of in stores as In the United States. IN THE I NEWS OF NORTH CAROLINA TOLD IN SHORT PARA­ GRAPHS FOR BUSY PEOPLE JI boldest of headline type. At that time newspaper illustration was not so com­ mon as now, and only extraordinary items of news were Illustrated.' This one was, however. There was a big column cut In the center of the page. As soon as c I glanced at it I knew It was ah illustration of the robbery Rus­ sell had alluded to. The headlines at once proved this. I read every word of the article with the deepest inter­ est. If it' had been in a special extra edition of a daily paper, published on the day and at the very place and time I then was, I would not have been more interested. “The article began by stating that a train going out of St. Louis had been robbed. The robbery, however, was confined to money in one of the safes of the Adams Express and Wells Fargo joint express safes. The amount stolen had been $28,000. The greater part of it had been in currency, but a portion of it had been In gold. The circum­ stances of the robbery were these: “As the train was about to leave the S t Louis depot, a man, the descrip­ tion of whom was an exact description of Pacheco, had entered the express car and handed the express messenger a letter. This letter was written on the official letter paper of the Wells Fargo Express company. It seemed to be in the handwriting of the local sup­ erintendent of -the company and the signature seemed to be genuine. The train messenger did not question it.' This letter Instructed him to fully fa­ miliarize.. its bearer with all of the express business on the run. It stated that the bearer was to be placed In the service of the company as a messenger on that run. “The bearer of the letter insisted on being taught from start to finish with­ out delay. He askSd the train messen­ ger to commence instructing him be­ fore the train started and keep up the instruction until the end of they run was reached. The train messenger commenced operations by opening one of the safes containing considerable sums of money. He.showed the pack­ ages to the bearer of the letter. He was In the act of describing the pack­ ages, their contents and destinations at the time the train started. “When the train got to a convenient distance and while the express mes­ senger was leaning over the open safe sorting the packages, the man who brought the letter hit him a heavy blow over the head, which stunned him. The man then gagged and bound the messenger securely.^ He then gathered up Into a package all the cur­ rency and a lot of gold money. He next let himself out of the door at one end of the express car.

Anderson, Sr C.—Finding his wife in the.arms of a stranger when he suddenly returned home from his work. Jule Edgefield, who lives on the outskirts of Brogan Mill village, seized the strange, by the collar, dragged him to the back door and hurfed him down the steps into the yard. He then rushed back into the house, secured his rifle, and tired several shots at the strange man,’who had taken to his heels and was fast disappeai ing over the hills. The bullets missed; their mark. j While Mrf Edgefield was in the act of bruising and battering the stranger, his wife was screaming for him to IisLeu to an explanation. After the stranger bad taken bis sudden departure, the enraged hus­ band was forced to listen to his wife who told him the stranger was her brotherfrom Texas, ■ __ Seizing his coat and hat, Mr. Edgefield cranked up the faniily flivver and was off to find his kinds- mau, When he did overtake the stranger who was still doing a Charles Paddock special, he had to shout profusely that he had made a terrible mistake. After misun­ derstandings were made correct, Mr.-Edgefield’s brother-in-law ser­ ved notice of bis intentions of spending a-week with his kinsman, as • punishment, and even hinted' that the two might form a partner­ ship in ’he fruit business in south­ ern California.

Well done, thou good and faithful servant,’ ” Whereupon, we are led to'believe that in the es­ timation of the faniily and friends of the deceased Eben1 the cow eon- ferren a blessing on the community when she kicked him 011 the 15th of September. Plainly a funeral was due and needed, just as iiow_ in any town, any number of them —and the cow brought it about with commendable celerity and suc­ cess, aud so won the approbation, “well done thou good and faithful -servant.” If we have made the proper deduction, we wonder why they didn’t erect a monument to the cow instead of placing a brown board in memory of Mr. Harvey. —Charlotte Observer.

Commissioner Hill Utters A WaTb- I ing. Highway . Commissioner John Sprunt Hill, of Durham, was in- Ral eighilhe past week, in conference with Frank Page, head of the_j;om mission on road matters and Mr Hill utterel a warning to the bond issuing crowd in this State that it will do well to stop and consider. According to Mr. H’ll the policy of the State highway commission in accepting loans from poor counties for sums to be used in road building which probably can never be repaid is a pjblicy so dangerous as to threat en the solvency of the State. Wake and numerous other coun ties Have recently proposed to loan the commission money for the pay­ ing of roads which are on the high­ way map but for which no funds have yet, been made available. Mr, Hill stated that he has op­ posed the policy of the commission where he is in the minority but that he will carry his fight to the council of State. The classic example of the evils*of the situation as.outlined by Mir. Hill is in the pending offer of Halifax county to loan the-State $1,500,000 to be used in hard surfacing all the roads jn that county, the loan; to be repaid out obuhstqurnM 0 id issues. It would I nquire $100,000,000 bond issue or issues before that sum' will be available to repay Halifax county according to tlje commissioner. Since the recent general assembly- more counties than ever before have made loans -to the commission for the building of specific roads desig­ nated by the county, the loans- to be’ repaid out of subsequent bond is­ sues. . Many of the loans amount to mbit'e thaii the-counties-will ever re eeive in bond issue>. Yet the bonds are issued by money to the commis­ sion with the representation to thp people that the issue is a mere ’’loan” Boon to be repaid by the 3’ate. Mr. Hill figures On the basis of only a 15IS1OOO,000 bond issue by the 1927 general assembly which he says is as large.a sum as can be efficient­ ly expended. The shares' of the counties which are making hugs loans to the commission would not begin the loans, the ei mmission r declares The 1921 legislature issued $50,000,000 in road bonds and $15. 000,000 were added in 1923 and $20,- 000,000 in 1925. -~. AslS^resuIt the property owners of the counties will have to carry in­ creased taxs to pay the interest anri perhaps the principal ot the bond is­ sues, hs declares, which will increase the already heavy burden of county taxation. VAfterawhiIesotne county may repudiate the bonds.” Mr. Hill de­ clared, “and if they do it will bank­ rupt the whole State.” One or-two counties, he declared would bring the other counties in the same predicament to repudiation and the whole State would then suffeP- ^ *’ Commissioner Hill discussed the probability that the representatives of the counties making loans to the State will insist on a large bond is sue in order to get their money bact. “Where will they sell tile bonds?” he asked. “ We can’t go but ro far before we reach the bond limit as provided in the Constitution Thr conservative counties which have the wealth won’t stand for the big bond issues these counties demand?"Another phase of the county loan system to the highway commission which Mr. Hill opposes is the bind ing of the highway commission to build certain roads designated bv the county in return for the loans.— Union ,Republican, Cannot Walk To School School work these days must be awfully trying on the physical bodies of the students; We notice many of them in the local institution who live only a few blocks from the buildings are too tired to walk to and from home and have to use the family auto—London County.Re cord.

The boys have or­ ganised their committees for the big day- and have been notified by the City Aldermen that thelXty of Hickory will be turned over to the Post for the day; This means that the Legion boys will take command of the city aud figuratively speak­ ing, will place the ciiy'tinder mar­ shal law.

Passing of . World’s Largest Farmer The recent death of Mrs. Henriet­ ta K u ik probably will mean the pass­ ing of the world’s largest farm. Stretching away thru seven Texts Ctiunlies the King estate comprises 1,280.000 acres. It borders-the Culf >f New Mexicoofor 100 miles. For 5 hours you travel across this vast ranch by railroad before the last fence past is reached. There is graz­ ing ground on it for 350,000 cattie, and 100 000 calves'are branded on it every season. The present value of the entire King holdings is estimated at ISQjQQOftOOOui. At her,death.. at, 93- Mrs. King was reputed to be one of the worldss richest women. . - While its mistress lived not a foot of her Ian I could be bought. Its sentimental value to her could not be computed in dollars and cents. Now it is doomed to go the way of other great ranees of the southwest to be cut and dotted with farmhous­ es for thousands of families Many years ago Mrs. King catne to the ranch as the bride of Captain Rich­ ard King, an adventurous seaman, long Siitcu dead. Atasa little girl she had'moved from Missouri to Brownsville IVx , with her father, the Rev J. T. Chamberlain, a Pres byterian Missionary. This was in the early ’30s. The first home of the Kings was a blockhouse from which they could take refuse from the Indiana and Mexican bandits. Mrs. King’s last home is one of the states show places arid' is said to be the fittest farmhome in America. It is a Spanish Moorish Villa built on a hill west of Kingsville which was founded by Mr^King in the center of the ranch. Kingsville is a model city of 5,500 contented citizens who own tbeir own electric light plant worth $175, • aud waterworks valued at $230,009 Sixteen years ago the only way to travel trom Corpus Christi to the Mexicoii border svas by wagon road. Mrs. King gave the land fur a rail­ road. which was built.thru her town, and with it came a $100,000 depot. She built schools in the towiir-hired teachers, put up a fine-hutel. and has assisted in the town’s other worthy civic enterprises. More FarmsChtIdreD Boro on Than Cities.

Tfiis country has not pro­ duced a greater preacher than Mr Sunday. Those who have not yet heard him should make arrange­ ments to go over before the iiieet ing closes.. Mocksville is a good town1—bet ter than the ordinary town of its size, but thertf are' lots of laws be­ ing violated here' despite the fact that the officers seeni to doing all they can to keep down lawless­ ness.

Don’t Agree Witb Brother Ham, Editor of Record:—May I say a word about the prayer that stopped the rain at Burlington a few "weeks ago. I do not deny ' Mr. _ Editor, that it rained. I do not deny that the Rev. Mr. Ham asked God to hold up the rain so to fall a few minutes'after this'remarkable was made. I do say, however, that it i-i illogical to suppose that the rain ceased to fall because the prayer was -nade. I have never known a rain that did not stop. I have known many a rainfall to cease suddenly anexpectedly. I helieve in prayer.' I think I believe in a better way than Mr. Ham does. I believe that our pray­ ers ought to be reasonable and 1111- selffish.. Too often we are selfish in our prayers as in OtherllUiings. Recently we liave-been’. pleased with an abuu'daut rain, which was bad­ ly needed. The wheat crop was suffering intensely. Some tobacco plants were becoming overgrown Let us suppose thaV on Monday night, May n th , some evangelist asked God to stop that rain so that the congregation could go home. Would it be Christian to Be so un­ reasonable, and so selfish? - We need more of that religion tha': seeks to do justly, love kind'. ness and walk humbly' with God. We need less and less of that re­ ligion that is always asking for s jper-uatural favoritism that wants- God to run the Universe to suit the convenience of a few. Sincerely yours, JOHN T. FITZGERALD.

New York.—Suspicious circum­ stances surrounded the death of Agnes Tooheyf one of the 44 in­ fants who died while under th8 care of Mrs. Helene Augusta Geis- en-Volk, “baby, farmer,” according to Dr. Otto H. Schultze, medical assistant to the district attorney.

He said he might be able to determine the true cause of death. HOPEFUL SIGNS FOH BUSINESS ONE HUNDRED MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE INJURED. New York.—Trapped in a smoke- filled, unlighted tube 20 feet under­ ground, about 100 persons—men, wo­ men and children,—were injured in a panic following an electrical short cir­ cuit which set fire to an Bast Side sub­ way train a block from the Grand Cen­ tral terminal station. Eighty-six of the victims received treatment at first aid stations hastily improvised in nearby hotels and in iospitals. The remainder made their -ray to their homes. One woman suf­ fered fracture of ,both legs when trampled in a terror-driven rush for windows and emergency exits. The others suffered from partial suffoca­ tion, cuts and bruises or from shock and hysteria. There were probably 1,000 persons in the six car steel train, a south­ bound local from Bronx park. Fully half of them were stampeded into panic as the mob fought its way through the acid smoke clouds toward exits which were in some instances six blocks from the scene of the acci­ dent. It was at first thought that two women were near death of internal in­ juries, but later examination at St. Vincent’s hospital revealed their hurts would not be fatal. Virtually all of the passengers were Bronx residents bound to offices and factories in the middle or lower Man­ hattan sections. It was just after the morning “peak hour” rush which finds hunderds Of thousands of New Yorkers piling helter skelter into jammed sub­ way and elevated trains in their scramble to “get to business.” Veterans Throng Dallas. Dallas, Texas.—Youthful Dallas lay captive at the feet of silver haired age as the columns of Confederate veter­ ans moved in on the city for their 35th annual reunion.

There was no at­ tempt to count the thousands of sons and daughters of veterans. The organization devised to care for the old visitors was put to such a severe test that George Waverly Briggs, vice chairman of the reunion •committee, in large advertisements in Dallas newspapers, appealed to the people of the city to throw open their homes to all veterans who had not been cared for by previous arrange­ ments.

Veterans to Continue Reunions. Dallas, Tex.—Determined to carry on for at least another year, the IUnifc ed Confederate Veterans here tabled a plan to hold departmental ,conventions in the future. The veterans expressed the senti­ ment that “that the fading days of life” are just the time they want to cling together and that- they wish to commune in the annual reunions as long as “two are left.” Birmingham was chosen unanimous­ ly, and without a single Opposing city, as next year’s meeting place. The in­ vitation from Birmingham was pre­ sented by R. H. McCallum, of that city. General W. B. Freeman, of Rich­ mond, for nine years commander of the Virginia division, was elected after spirited balloting commander-in-chief over Gen. James A. Thomas, of Dublin, Ga., retiring commander.

COTTON CONFERENCE AGREES UPON STANDARDIZA­ TION. Washington.—Tare limited to 21 pounds composed of bagging weighing two pounds a yard and ties weighing 45 pounds per bundle, including buck­ les, was adopted as standard cover­ ing for cotton bales at the gin by cotton shippers and bagging manufac­ turers in conference at the depart­ ment of agriculture. This action is regarded as a definite step in the direction toward dealing in cotton on net weight basis instead of the present gross weight and is the result of agitation for the improve­ ment of the quality and appearance of the American cotton bale in inter­ national trade. As a result, an effort will be made by the department to have this type bale adopted as stan­ dard for all ot the cotton exchanges of the world. At present the tare in tjiis country ranges from 18 pounds in California to 30 pounds in Georgia and South Carolina, and a score of different type materials are used for bale covering. To assure the use of the standard material, the manufacturers agreed not to manufacture any other kind of material for stock after 1925. The question for patches for the bale was not settled. The shippers summed up their case as follows: The shippers are seeking a patch that is large enough to cover the sam­ ple holes, say between 22 to 30 by 40 to 48 inches, weighing from 2 to 2 1-2 pounds, which has a sufficent durabil­ ity to stand the strain of compression and which has a surface capable ot taking and holding markings, and .which-can bo bought at a reasonable price. ( The manufacturers contended: “The supply of material is an im­ portant factor and there is a question as to whether a patch described by the shippers can be manufactured with sufficient strength at a reasonable price and several manufacturers ex­ pressed a willingness to make sam­ ples ind submit them to the cotton committee in the department of agri­ culture with which to experiment.” J. M. Locke, chairman ot the tare committee of the Americans Cotton Shippers association ,of Muskogee, Okla., told the committee that be­ cause of the lack of a standard tare, importers and mills in Europe had to sample the bale to determine the tare and it was estimated that the samp­ ling cost $500,000 annually. WEDDING PLANS ? / GROOM-TO-BE KILLED AND BRIDE INJURED IN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. Salisbury, N. C.—A grade crossing ac­ cident at Landis just before noon turn­ ed a wedding day into one of death and sadness, and instead of the young couple being married here, the bride- grpom-to-be, Charlie M. Lomax, 22, is in a morgue and the bride-to-be, Miss Pauline Caster, 18, is in a hospital, with only slight chance of recovery. Mr. Lomax and Miss Caster had just visited the office ot Drl O. L. Black at Landis and secured the physician's certificates that would enable them to ge,t a marriage license. Leaving the office to come to Salis­ bury to secure. the license and be married here, the couple were stop­ ped at a nearby railroad crossing while a freight train passed, going south. Other cars were stopped by the freight, and as soon as it passed Mr. Lomax attempted to cross. Those in other- cars tried to get his attention to warn him of the approach from the south of passenger train No. 36, but failed, and the train hit his car In full view Of a number of people. When the first ones arrived at the wrecked car Mr. Lomax was dead, his body and head being badly crushed, and Miss Caster appeared to be ser­ iously injured. She was brought to a Salisbury hospital, where physicians are quoted as saying her injuries are very serious. In the young man’s pocket was a wedding ring he was to give his bride, and also an automobile accident pol­ icy for $1,000 he had taken out three weeks ago. Mr. Lomax was a son of H. L. Lo­ max, of Pinson, Randolph county. He had recently been working at Thomas- vilie. MissvCaster is a daughter of James Caster, of the' Faith neighborhood, in Rowan county. Ford Opens New Bank. • New York.—The entrance of Henry Ford into Wall street was seen by some bankers In the announcement that the Guardian Detroit company had been established as the New Yorx investment branch of the Guardian Trust company of Detroit, of which Edsel Ford is a director. Relationship of the Ford interests to the new banking enterprise in Wall street also was given a direct contact by the naming of Ernest Kanzeler, vice president of the Ford Motor com­ pany, as a director Of the Guardian Detroit company. The Guardian Trust company of Uetroit, a recently organized institu­ tion whch is believed to have the backing of the Ford millions obtained its foothold in New York by the acqui­ sition of Keane, Hibgie and company, Inc., an investment firm which has specialized for many years in the un­ derwriting and distribution of muni­ cipal bonds and other high grade se­ curities.

' Veterans Last Reunion Near at Hand. j, Dallas, Texas.—Veterans of the Con­ federacy prepared to surrender to their final foe-r-Time. A proposal to discontinue the annual reunions be­ cause of the advanced age of the" sur­ vivors and to hold departmental re­ unions instead, was made at the 35th reunion opening here. A resolution offered by Col. J. B. Lewis, Anderson, S. C., and Gen. W. H. Colby, Greenville, S. C., indicated that the’ veterans themselves recog­ nized that the inevitable dissolution is.at hand and that they cannot long continue the general gatherings that have, brought them together for the last 35 years to recount the battle which they fought for the lost cause. The plan is to have reunions in three departments, each department then to send delegates to an annual convention to be held in New Orleans, the headquarters oflfhe veterans’ asso­ ciation. Each of tie 17 divisions, of the organization would be presented at the annual convention by one dele-, gate. The inability of the veterans longer to stand the strain of long travel, as well as the expense of the annual reunion, are among the reasons given for the proposal to discontinue the general gatherings. -- "The time is drawing near, if not already at hand, when we should put our house in order to meet the changes that are necessary at this time,” reads the resolution. Alabama Honored at Exposition. New York.—A hall of fame to which Alabama elected nine of its disting­ uished living citizens was dedicated at a banquet given in honor of "Alabama day” at the Southern Exposition.

But my heart will be with you. From the Pacific coast I salute you. Long live Alabama, the fairest state I know.” Doctor Dies By Own Hand. iMcCormick, S.

What d’you want?” The; shifted uneasily in ' front of him. “Well, there’s ben some grum- blln’ about that, gold, Jim,” Shorty vouchsafed.. “The boys kinder seem to think you ain't plannin’ to play fair with 'em. They’ve put Krnmer on guard to watch the motor-boat In case you might be aimin’ to git away with her." “What’s that?” snarled Hathway. He sprang to his feet. From the door of the but he could discern a shadowy figure near the parapet. For an instant he was about to rush at it In his rage. B ut. then his cunning came to his aid. He turned back into the hut. “What’s their game—and yours?” Shorty hesitated. "Well, ya see, Jim, me and Pierre’s allvis stood by ya, and we kinder thought we’d let ya know the boys has been talkin’ things over among themselves—” Eathway smiled sourly. He knew the pair of them would not have hesi­ tated to side with the mutineers If they had thought there was any chance of outwitting him. Pierre and Shorty knew Rathway’s vigilance, his infinite resource. _ “Spill It!” ’ “Well, Jlm1 I guess they’re gettin’ ready to rush you, now you've put out your light They’re aiming to tie you up and git away with the gold in the motor boat.” “Just to tie me? They wouldn’t hurt me 7” Eathway snickered, and the pair shuffled their feet uncomfortably. Be laughed. And his plans to meet this situation leaped into his mind. He must let the men attack, and then, When he had finished with them, he’d make short work of Pierre and Shorty, and Estelle, too. His confidence was coming back. “They sent me and Pierre to see if you’d gone to-' sleep here.” “Weil, I aint,” Rathway returned, laughing again. He knew his non­ chalance at once discomfited and bound them to him through fear. “I’ve gone to the hut across the neck to say good night ,to the girl, and maybe, if she presses me, I won’t be hurrying away. Get that?” he asked, a,s they guffawed self consciously. “You’ll go back and tell ’em Tm gone, Pierre. Too got your gun, Shorty? AU right. You and me’ll have a quiet little session In the swamp, waitin’ for ’em tq come along the trail one by one—eh, Shorty?” He clapped each one on the shoulder. . “There’s gold enough in that sack to make us three millionaires, and there’ll be a d—n sight less sharing,” he said. “And listen, boys. I’ve cached It, so, If I’m croaked, nobody’ll get It. See?’’ The men were fools anyway, but trebly so when their cupidity was aroused. Eathway imagined the greed leaping into their eyes, and laughed, He was reckless now. The hooch devil rode him at last.. And In his mind’s eye he saw the picture. And, what a holocaust for Joyce I No one could prove anything, either, even if they caught him. And the bodies of Lee and Pelly would never be found. There- was Estelle, of course, but whatever happened, she would never give him away. Curiously, "Estelle, who had loomed so prominently as his chief difficulty, now assumed an Insignificant part in the problem. He didn’t even consider what disposition he was going to make of her. / “You get back, Pierre, and say you met me going over to the neck,” he said. -!!And hold ’em twenty minutes.” Pierre departed. Rathway and Shorty went softly out of the hut among the pines. Rathway felt sure enough of his companion to walk in front of him. . 1 They .heard the voices of the men about the fire rise into loud declama­ tion as Pierre returned; then the sounds were cut off as they turned along the track through the morass. Presently the stables came into sight above the reeds, and the hut .beyond, with a light in it; Bathway could see the silhouetted figures of the two women, Joyce In a s chair, motionless, and Estelle upon the bed beside her. He swore through his teeth as he watched them. “I guess this place will do,” he said to Shorty. They squatted among the reeds, their pistols In their hands. It had been snowing intermittently through the night, and it was an eerie watch, even for the unimaginative, in the bitter cold and blackness. The night : wind rustled the dead stalks of the reeds; the muskeg, more treacherous for the surface ice that concealed, but could never bind it, stirred and heaved imperceptibly, like a vast sea. Across the neck of land the flames of the camp fire flickered against the rocks. • ; Suddenly, after what seemed like an eternity of time, Shorty whispered hoarsely In Rathway’s ear, pulled at the sleeve of his mackinaw, and . pointed. From where they lurked they could see figures moving against the back- ground of fire In the direction- of the Beck. Gripping their pistols they crouched motionless, tense with excitement. But of a sudden pther figures ap­ peared, moving toward the mutineers. They heard a sharp “Hands up!” followed by an oath, cries, the dis­ charge of firearms. And Eathway, trembling like an aspen leaf, stared into Shorty’s face. . “It’s him! He—he’s come back,” he babbled In superstitious terror. C H A P T E R X X E ste lle B e tra y s L e e AU day, with hardly an Interval for food and rest, Lee, McGrath, and Le- boeuf pursued their, way along the trail toward the Free Traders’ head­ quarters. The' Indian went on' at a tireless lope, McGrath, with aching, blistered feet, negatived all sugges­ tions for a rest; each stop that Le- boeuf, who had taken command, en­ forced, was maddening to him. The certainty In Lee’s mind of Joyce’s fate gave him a superhuman endurance. Twice before Eathway and he had met; this time he swore that If the girl had suffered at his hands, he should pay for it with his life, de­ spite his duty to the'police. Night fell, and still they pursued their course through the darkness, un­ til, passing in single file along the tract through the morass, known to the Indian, they reached the promon­ tory well before morning. As they approached the neck they saw figures stealing toward them. Thinking that their presence had been discovered Lee sprang- forward with his challenge. It was the man Kramer who, under the impression that Lee was Bath­ way, fired as the words left his lips. Lee fired back, both missed, but a bullet from Leboeuf’s rifle passed through Kramer’s breast and with a strangling cry the man' pitched for- forwa,rd into the lake across the broken parapet. A scattering fusillade from both sides followed.' Then Lee, Leboeuf, They Heard a Sharp “Hands Up,” Fol­ lowed by an Oath, Cries,-the Dis­ charge of Firearms. and Father McGrath were across the neck among the gang, and laying them abGut with their rifle butts. ‘That’s for ye, ye thief!” Lee heard the priest shout, as he felled the tall ruffian with k blow. “That’s for ye, ye swlndlin’ hooch peddler, meextn’ your feelthy hooch in wi’ guid liquor. And Is that yoersel, Sweeney That’s what I promised Jje Iang syne when I I caught ye near the meeslon!” . Crash, thudded his rifle stock upon a head. Father McGrath, in fact, seemed to be mixing In a good deal of private vengeance with the cru- sade.'wAt every thud a man dropped, and as he smote right and left, oust­ ing his companions from the fray, a sort of war chant broke from his lips. But the rally was only a momentary one. Having emptied their pistols, Rathway’s men streamed away In flight across the promontory, to be brought up and cornered at the further end. Then, at Lee’s Demand, arms were flung up, and pistols went clattering down. It was not until now that the gang appeared to realize that it was not Eathway who had turned the tables. The sight of Lee took what spirit re- muined^ from them. Two of the men were slightly wounded, two were half dazed by McGrath’s blows, and all were injured In one way or another; none of them had any more fight in them. Lee scanned their faces. . ‘‘Where’s Rathway?” he^ shouted. f They exchanged; glances. WUHng as they were to give up their leader, with or without compensation, the same thought had occurred simultane­ ously to each of them, that to betray Rathway meant giving up all chances of a share In the gold. And as long as the hut remained undiscovered that chance always existed. Impatient of their evasion, Lee dashed out of the hut into which Le­ boeuf, McGrath and he had herded them, searching for Joyce. He. ran Into the hut adjacent, then raced across the promontory to the huts near the neck. But Joyce was not In either of these. There remained the central store house, and, running toward It; Lee dealt a succession of furious blows against the door with his rifle stock. It cracked, splintered and fell off' its hinges. McGrath was at his side. The. priest struck a match, and by the light of the tiny flare it could be seen that the interior of the place was empty. Lee swung his rifle butt furiously, knocking over barrels and boxes In the vain hope that Eathway, at least, was hiding behind them. But he was not there. Shaking off the priest, who sought to detain him, Lee ran back to the hut in which the men were herded. “Where is she?" he shouted, levelling his rifle at Pierre’s face. “In the hut across the neck,” Pierre babbled, gray with the terror of death. Lee ran back across the promontory once more, heedless of his compan­ ions’ shouts behind him. He dashed along a little trail that ran into the heart of the reeds, flinging the dry stalks right and left, as one parts a hanging screen of beads. For a few moments he felt the ground hard beneath his feet. Then the little path ended. He trod on qufiking muskeg. He pushed on. Again a path seemed to open before him. Again It closed. The head-hig^ reeds were all about him now, thft, muskeg held him, and be went floun­ dering In the mud like a mired caribou. He struggled on, sometimes sinking knee deep In the swamp. He dashed his rifle against the rattling reeds, swinging it around and around his head, In the effort to beat them down and discover what lay before him. But they rose resilient from the ground like armed, enemies, and in the dark- he could see nothing. He shouted Joyce’s name, and now, bewildered, he began to circle blindly on ills tracks among the reeds, dash­ ing them down as if they were human enemies. Yet all the while, though lie was Ignorant of it, chance was di­ recting iiim, circuitously, toward the hut In which Joyce sat Rathway, the moment that he re­ covered from the shock of hearing Lee’s voice at the head of the attack, hurried to the cabin. Estelle met him. “Put out that light!" Ratliway snarled. “It’s him!” he half whispered, “And I thought he was dead!” - “Listen to me, now!” He began talking swiftly under his breath. Es­ telle crept closer to him. She listened as if he hypnotized her. “You mean that, Jim? You swear' to leave that girl behind?” 1 swear it, Stella. I’ve got the gold cached near the motor boat Every­ thing’s reqdy, and I’ve had a fresh drum of gasoline put In.” They beard Lee calling again. !‘Now, Stella!” Eathway whispered. Stella slipped from the hut and hur­ ried a little distance along the path. L'ee, struggling in the swamp, sud­ denly heard Joyce imploring close at hand out of the darkness, in a voice of anguish: “Lee! Lee! Come to me! Help me!” “JoyceI Joyce! It’s I! It’s Lee!" And suddenly he stopped. The in­ stinct of treachery came to him be­ fore he realized that this was not Joyce who called . . . Est.elle, the mimic, Estelle with Joyce’s voice, luring him to destruction. Out of the dark a blow descended on his head, sending him reeling for­ ward. He struggled in Bathway’s arms. • s Fiercly they fought in the cabin doorway. ~ Then Lee was seized from behind. A kick behind the kneecap sent him sprawling on the_ floor. He felt him­ self being pinioned. A noose was slipped about his neck, strangling him until he was no longer capable of re­ sistance. Eopes were fastened around his body and legs. A -gag was thrust In his mouth. He was helpless as a trussed chicken. Then the room leaped Into light, and he saw Shorty fastening the ends of the rope to a1 beam, and Rathway. standing over him. 1 A moan came froiyJoyce’s lips, and her body strained against its bonds. Rathway looked at her and uttered' his hyena laugh. .. Taking the lighted candle from the table, he set it down In a hole beneath the sill. A thin coll of smoke quickly began to spread upward. Within a minute the tinder-dry thin boards of the hut were covered with running flames. Smoke.began to fill the in­ terior. _ Rathway waited tin he was sure the hut was well alight, then he slashed the bond that , tied Joyce , to the bed, picked up the struggling girl, and car­ ried her down the path as easily as a child, in spite of her resistance. Aa he neared the neck a spire of .. flame shot up from the hut behind him. He was half way to the water when a figure, silent and tense as a cat, leaped at him from among the reeds.. It was Leboeuf; tracking Lee. Rath­ way, by Instinct alone, sprang side- wise just'' in time to save himself. Leboeuf. fell sprawling In the morass. Estelle and Shorty were waiting be­ side the motor boat among the reeds. Ratliway had reached the side of the boat before Estelle recognized Joyce in his arms. She sprang toward him with a cry. But-Rathway coolly placed the girl In the bottom, and quickly fastened the ends of the rope about the seat The - boat, wedged In the sand, only tilted a little as Joyce struggled. “Jim, what does it mean? You swore—you swore you'd leave, her in the Tiut," screamed Estelle frantically. Rathway swore at her. She ran at him like a fury, and he dealt her a blow In the face that struck her to the ground. . She got up dazed, staggered toward him, and stood still as the bright spire of light burst upward from the burning hut. At the- same instant a single pistol shot caine from the end of the promontory, followed by a sud­ den outcry. “Hold that d—n she-wolf tor a mo­ ment Shorty,” said Eathway, coolly; and, as Shorty threw himself upon Estelle, who had begun to scream frantically again, he turned aside, found the bag of gold, and, lifting it In his arms, staggered to the boat, and, with .a mighty heave, raised it over the gunwale and placed it In the bottom. With a mighty heave of his shoul­ ders he pushed the motor boat into the water. The shouting on the promontory broke into a yell. Figures came run­ ning toward them; then, at Estelle’s screams, broke and doubled back agaiif. Only Eathway had seen—not Shorty, gasping as he wrestled with Estelle. “W-what’ll I do with her?” Shorty gasped. Eathway regarded the pair compla­ cently. Everything • was his; one in­ stant now and every care would have fallen from his shoulders. And there was that d—n woman screaming! Shorty dealt Estelle a blow that sent her staggering back. He swung around to Bathway. “Good bye, Shorty,” said Eathway softly, and shot him through the head. The body tottered and dropped at Estelle’s feet. Rathway leaped Into the boat, pushing- it from the shore. As Estelle ran Into the water he felled her with an oar. Next moment he was at the engine, and the put-put' began. The boat shot out into the lake. The rattle of the motor was like music in Rathway’s ears. He held the craft steady with­ out. difficulty against Joyce’s Incessant efforts to overturn It. Seeing that she had too much leeway, he stooped an^ tightened the rope that bound her to the seat. On the margin of the lake Estelle stood with arms raised to the bright­ ening sky, screaming asclf she were de­ mented. Suddenly she turned and dis­ appeared among the reeds that fringed the shore. ■ Behind the promontory the hut was going up In a vast sheet of flame. Rathway chuckled. AU his fears had disappeared forever. 'He looked at Joyce, who was now lying quiet in the bottom of the boat. He looked at the gold. The girl and the gold! He said that over and over. Already he was far out upon the breast of the lake, and the promontory was dwind-; ling behind him. He looked at the drum of gasoline in the bow, tried to lift it, and assured liimself that It was full. He smiled. Nothing could thwart his plans. He bent over Joyce. “ It’s all ended, dearie,” he said. “Soon as you nod to show you’re ‘willing to work with me, Pll unfasten you.” j Joyce did not nod, and he continued: “You know I don’t want to hurt you, my dear. Just nod to show you won’t try to upset the boat, and ril set you free.” Joyce took no notice. Eathway took the gag out of her mouth. But, though he had been prepared for an outburst of Invective, \such as he would have expected from Estelle,'she did not utter a word. Rathway knew the navigation of every river and stream within a radius of a hundred miles. As his motor boat shot down the short arm of the lake the promontory disappeared from view. And It seemed to him that a long chapter In his life was ciosed forever. He spoke to Joyce again, and per­ haps a little element of unselfishness In the man made his appeal pathetic: ‘‘Joyce, if you'll let me unfasten you and not try to upset the boat, I - I promise you PU not harm you or try to touch' you—not'till you want nie to," But Joyce made no response,- and Rathway, perplexed, loosened her bonds sufficiently to protect her irtiin injury to the circulation, without en­ abling her. to take any'rash action unexpectedly. She took no advan­ tage of this, but lay with her blazing eyes fixed full upon his toce. Rath* way grew more uncomfortable. He could not bear to meet Joyce’s eyes. And, ironically,/In the midst of bis triumph there came to him memories of other days—happy Aays-With Es­ telle, in the first flush of their union. She had betrayed another man to go to him, but she had never betrayed him. They had loved each other. Even-Bathway had loved. For the first time he thought al­ most with a pang that he would never see Estelle again.He looked about him at the eternal forest, drooping from the uplands toward the brink of the lake. He was already safe. There was a trail along the lake’s edge, but It was im­ possible for any one to ca£ch up with him—If there were any one to follow —for two hours yet He drove the motor boat ashore. He put his equipment on the bank. He collected wood to cook some food. He stooped over Joyce and raised her In his arms- to carry her ashore. She offered no resistance now, only her eyes, blazing with scorn, stared stead­ ily into his. And with ,a new access of passion he crushed her to his breast “You little devil!” he whispered. “You little devil, you had me scared. And I love you all the more for it!” Then, lifting up his .eyes, Rathway saw something that sent all his dreams and hopes 'crashing to the ground. Half a mile distant topping a little bare space among the trees, he saw two riders' trotting along the trail toward him. . At that distance it was impossible to distinguish them. He set Joyce down, and, looking at them, burst into furious oathfc. His horses! Yes, he had forgotten them! Two riders—and how many Wore be- him? How many .men had that d—n Anderson brought with him? Hastily he carried the unresisting girl back into the boat, threw In the utensils that he had taken out-for the meal, and started the engine, again. Soon the boat was cutting its way downstream, once more. It was going faster than any horse could follow. Eathway’s spirits began to soar again. He looked at.Joyce, lying quiet In the bottom of the boat She was no longer looking at him. She had fallen asleep. A slight smile hovered about her lips. It frightened him, that smile; it was as if In hgr sleep she communed with some protecting force that assured her of safety. And suddenly his heart' was fiUed with superstitious fears. This woman seemed unbreakable. He thought of Estelle’s words. And now he wished that he had taken her advice and let the girl go. About the middle of the afternoon he ran ashore again, gathered niore firewood, and cooked a meal, eating ravenously. He tried to make Joyce eat, but she lay still in her bonds, ig­ noring him. When he kissed her; her lips were cold as ice. . ' He cut her bonds. He drew her. into his arms. The touch of her un­ resisting body against his 1OWn re­ stored his courage. . “Joyce!” he cried. “Joyce I Tve got you now! You’re mine—” She was not looking at him. She was looking past his head and smil­ ing. Involuntarily Rathway turned ills head to s e e . ' A mile away, on the shore of the lake, he saw the two horsemen riding steadily toward him. Furious oaths burst from his Ups. At that moment he seemed to read his doom. It was incredible that 'they could have ridden so fast. He must go on' and on now, on till he had pitied the last ounce of -Ms machine fuel\ against horse flesh-^nd won. Once more he carried Joyce back Into the boat. Once more he hurled his craft downstream. An hour passed. The sun was be­ ginning to decline. And now out of the far distance a faint murmur broke upon his ears. . Rathway knew what it was; he had often heard it before. It was the roar of Reindeer falls. Beyond those th ere. was no trail—nothing but impenetrable forest through which no horse could pass. Beyond the rapids he was safe. And he .had often navigated, them. He knew the narrow channel between the rocks. Once more his hopes revived. Looking back, he could see nothing but the forest, reaching (down to the lake shore. The roar of the rapids grew louder. They appeared in the dis­ tance, a line of foam crinkled with the black outcropping of the rocks, .> However, the engine began to miss fire, and Bathway perceived ^hat the gasoline was almost ,exhausted. He filled the reservoir from the drum. .The engine rattled and stopped. The boat began to drift sidewise with the increasing current I Rafhway /examined his englnje. He could not"discover what was the mat­ ter with i t It seemed In perfect order —it would not run, that was all. He raved. He looked about him In des­ pair. He looked back; there was no sign of Ihe horsemen. Suddenly, as if illumination had come t to him, he tilted the drum, poured a little-stream of the contents Into his hand, and; raised • it to his nostrils. Then, with a frenzied oath, he raised the drum and burled it into the lake. . ’ Kramer, to prevent Rathway’s es­ caping with the gold, , had emptied the drum of its contents and refilled It with water. Rathway looked back In his despair and once ^ more saw Uie horsemen riding on the trail. (TO B E CONTINUM^.)

Way to Raise Chicks Purdue university gives the following points for the proper raising and brooding of chicks: Hatcliing only from mature, selected, brood-tested males and females. Brooding chicks wjth a hard coal stove In a portable brooder bouse on new disease tfree soli. Keducing brooder temperature from 100 degrees (at -edge of hover) after the first week as rapidly as the comfort of chicks permtts. Getting chicks out on the ground when a week old even though weather is chilly. Giving nothing to drink but skim milk, buttermilk or semi- soiid for at least the first month. Giving no feed or drink till chicks are 48 hours old. For the first few days it Is safest to feed only the finely cracked chick grains giving only what is cleaned up in about twenty minutes. Giving no mash the first five days. After this start gradual­ ly on mash, always preceding the mash with a grain feed to pre­ vent overfeeding on the mash. Placing chicks on full mash feed after the second week and reducing at same time grain feeds to only two or three times per day. Sand S upplies G rit Cover the brooder floor with sand and then several inches of chaff from the clover mow. Do not have dust In Hte chaff, but the fine particles of the ^clover heads and straws. This gives I the chicks something to scratch in to hunt for their grain feed. IDo not aw sawdust on the brooder floor, as the chicks are apt to eat this and tause trouble.

Fruit Punch.—Take one cupful each of the following fruits cut fine: Pine­ apple, raspberries, bananas and skinned grapes, if im season. To the juice of four lemons and eight oranges add a quart of freshly made and cooled tea. To two quarts of cold water add enough sugar sirup to sweeten. Mix all^togetfier and let stand until ready to serve (in the ice chest), then add two quarts of charged water and ice. Garnish with maraschino cherries. Fruit Punch No. 2.—Take one can of grated pineapple and three cupfuls of water, boil together twenty min­ utes, then strain through a jelly bag, pressing out all the juice. Cool and add the juice of six lemons, ten oranges, one quart of strawberry juice or currant, or grape juice, three cup­ fuls of sngai- sirup, one ,cupful of freshly made tea; cool and add four quarts of water and one bottle of charged water when ready to serve. Both of these punches serve two dozen people. ' Punch a Ia Paris.—Take one quart each' of ginger ale and grape juice, the Juice of three lemons and three oranges, one cupful of sugar—more if needed—two tablespoonfuls of grated cucumber rind. Serve In tall glasses. Serve iced coffee with whipped cream and powdered sugar; iced tea with any acid fruit like a slice of lemon, orange or pineapple. Prepare chocolate, using four squares of chocolate, grated, to one pint of boiling water; melt the choco­ late over-hot water and cook in . the boiling water ten minutes. Add one pint of scalded milk, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of vanilla with one-half cupful of sugar. Beat well, chill and serve topped with whftiped cream on. which is sprinkled a bit of grated sweet chocolate. Combination Ale.—Take one quart of grape juice and ginger ale, chill, serve with ice and three-fourths of a cupful of maraschino cherries cut fine. Ginger ale served in tall glasses with a spoonful' of lemon ice on/top of each is delicious. Seasonable Dishes. Ice cream is so much enjoyed that it Is a satisfaction to know it is good for us. When made at home and eaten at meal­ time it is the best of des­ serts. Maple Parfalt. — Heat one cupful of maple sirup to just below the boiling point. Beat four egg yolks slightly, con­ tinue beating and add •the hot sirup slowly. Cook over hot water until the mixture thickens. Strain and cool, add one pint of heavy cream whipped with one-eighth of a teaspoonful of salt. Place in a chilled mold, cover with waxed paper and pack In ice and salt, -two parts of Ice to one of salt. Allow to stand three to four houre. Coffee Mousse.—Soften a teaspoon­ ful of gelatin in two tablespoonfuls of water and dissolve In one-half cupful of clear, black qoffee. Allow It to cool and, when beginning to thicken, fold In two. cupfuls of whipped cream which has been sweetened with thrqe- fourths of a cupful of sugar; add one- fourth teaspoonful of salt and mold and pack as for the parfait. French Pecan Ice Cream.—Put one- third Of a cupful of sugar In a sauce­ pan to caramelize; when amber-col­ ored add three-fourths of a cupful of hot water and allow to stand until dis­ solved.

ENSEMBLE SUITS GO STRONG; MANNISH COATS FOR JUNIORS lT tBE ensemble suit, from the time of A its introduction, has been' a suc- cess WiUi disbeming women of fashion.

They destroy your wage-eaming power, make you feel and act years older than you really are, and keep you in misery. And these ailments grow steadily worse. They finally become dangerous. Yet you can break these chains of misery! Just remember that these ills are caused by impure blood—blood that does not contain enough iron. Without iron, your blood cannot throw the. poisons out of your body. Instead, it keeps on gathering and circulating these poisons through, your system.

It is difficult to believe that the oU pressure gauges and he ampere-me- ters which now appear on the instru­ ment boards of virtually all makes of cars were once regarded by many as unnecessary frills. Today there are a number of accessories being offered which are similarly regarded, which Is the same as saying that they would be appreciated if only their advan­ tages were better known. By equipping a car with some of these fitments, greater satisfaction, ef­ ficiency and safety will result. Add front and rear bumpers .to the car, at­ tach one of the many rear, signaling devices, keep a set of anti-skid chains handy and the car will be enormously benefited In proportion to the cost of the protection. Frequently such’ safe­ ty devices add to the car’s appearance and thus not only help protect the owner's original Investment, but add to It. A spotlight attached to the windshield and played upon the road may prevent wrecking the car In a ditch. Take efficiency as another Instance. A car that is operated without proper regulation of the cooling system Is at all times running Inefficiently. This is especially true In winter when the engine is constantly operated at the wrong temperature, either boiling over because the radiator is. covered with the lap-robe or' running cold because there is no covering at all. The mar­ ket now offers several radiator covers with openings which can be operated from the dash. Along the efficiency line are other devices which are destined to filter the gasoline before It Is admitted to the carburetor, thus preventing the entrance of dirty or watered gasoline to the carburetor or engine. A device of this character limy pay for Itself within a month after it is installed. Then there are shock absorbers, which In addition to giving greater riding comfort, save the springs from breakage on the rebound and thus in­ crease the usefulness of the car by preventing breakdowns. Even cut­ outs which were at one time regarded as toys for the speed maniacs are now shown to have a very Important use. Regardless of the. selling points of each accessory-or all of them as a group, It is a fact that any one of them adds to the second-hand value of a car. So the motorist not only has the use of the accessories with which he equips his car and the savings on Insurance, inconvenience, repair bills, tc., but he gets a return premium 'hen he goes to sell the car. Good Advice I* to Give Machine the Once-Qver There's economy,, also satisfaction In giving' your car' the once-over In the'spring, then if It needs replace­ ments or anything else to bring it back to perfect form, have It doDe as quick­ ly as possible. Naturally the toll of a year’s driv­ ing is most severe, and generally there Is a reminder or two. Right here the old stitch In time principle works out When the car is restored to Its best shape, almost as good as the day It was bought, riding In It Is far more enjoyable, also It will bring a'inuch better price If’ you care to sell or ex­ pect to trade it In on a new car.. Letting your motor car run down Is false economy. Eventually it costs you more and In the Inter1Im you are not happiest when riding along the highways. ' Even little things which you may think are of no special consequence develop into big items in repair bills if allowed to run on without Interrup­ tion. . ~ v .

WATER INJURY TO TIRES IS SMALL Running Through Stream Is Not Injurious. Now and then In the course of ao automobile trip a car has to pass through a stream, and the question Is sometimes discussed whether the ac­ tion of the water is harmful to the tires. The same question arises when the car Is out in a heavy rain. Such a wetting Is practically noth­ ing at all, either for damage or im­ provement At any rate, the effect on the tire Is not harmful. Two chief constituents of a tire are rubber and cotton, both vegetable substances, and as a rule wat.er does not injure vege­ table matter. As Illustrative of this point, there is the old but true story of the farmer who, when one of his rubber boots fell into a well, placed the other on a shelf In a closet. Twelve years later when the well was cleaned the lost boot was found to be In ex­ cellent condition, but the boot on the shelf had fallen -Into ruin. If running through a brook resulted in cooling a tire the effect would be decidedly beneficial, but a quick dash through the water has little effect on the heated ^alr within the tire and consequently the temperature change in the tire after Its bath is negligible. Water itself apparently does no barm to tires, but the combination of air and moisture commonly known as humidity Is very destructive, especial­ ly on the cotton In ordinary fabric tires. The moist air works in between the layers of the fabric and rots them out, sometimes even before the tires leave the dealer’s storeroom. Cord tires stand humidity better. The harmful; effect of moist air Is the chief reason why, when tires are stored, they should be kept In a dry atmosphere As sunlight is also harm­ ful, the storagp place should be dark­ ened. Shabby Tires Are Not Favored for Any Car Shabby tires on a good-looking car I Yet stand on any street corner today end count the number of patched-up, dilapidated tires which are being used to the last mile. The cost of keeping these tires running for a few thou­ sand miles would nearly pay for new ones. Mileage such as this comes high. Tire conservation does not mean picking up a decrepit tire and putting It back. into service at a big repair cost just to save a little rubber left in the tread. It means taking care of the tire ‘from the first so that It will be able to deliver all the mileage built Into it by. the maker. When tires are so far worn that they are soon to blow, it Is.poor economy; to repair them. Such a course means sacrifice of the Inner tube as well. Cheap, makeshift patches, boots and temporary repairs of all kinds are now being called into use as never before, but patching up an old casing In which separation of fabric plies has already begun, cannot give die freedom from tire trouble on which the pleasure In motoring so largely depends. Tying in Spring Leaves Will Prevent Spreading Since the leaves In a spring have a tendency to spread apart, It is often hard to replace the spring tie-bolt In autos or trucks. The easy way is to grip the head of the tie-bolt in a vise, and put all but the last four leaves one on top of the other. The last four leaves are put on crosswise, or spread around like the ribs of an umbrella, which allows the nut to be easily started on the bolt. With the nut on the bolt, swing the bottom cross leaf into place. Then ■each succeeding, leaf will slide easily into .,position. Then tighten the tie- bolt nut. Of course, the clamps on each, end will have to be removed un­ til tfie spring is assembled.' . * A nything; T hese D ays ’Running downhill recently a driver found to his utter surprise that a motor truck, supposedly at rest In the downhill position on the right Side of the road, was actually going Uphill backwards.

STARVING GOAT EATS UP CHECKS N o vel C a p er P ro ves C o stly to E a stern F inanciers. New York.—The appetite of a goat in Asia, which several weeks ago showed a fondness for paper, led to the necessity of a strict watch on all checks cashed by one of NVall street’s larger banks. .Also,-It caused a con­ siderable waste oh the part of Ameri­ ca’s largest international commercial house of money, which was expended In cabled messages between New York and the Far East. , The international commercial house had made out a $25 check, drawn on the Bank of Manhattan company, for the'account of a Far Eastern firm. The firm in question received the check and was prepared to cash !L But the goat got iL The animal apparently had such an appetite, it wiis explained by Rayniond E. Jones, pres’dent of the New York bank, that It found the piece of paper in some Unexplained manner and ate it. The international commercial house was promptly Informed, and, after close Investigation, it mzd-l out a du­ plicate check for $25, which it for­ warded to the proper address. It then had to cable full instructions to New York, giving the number and se­ ries. the bank upon which drawn and the amount of the check. This infor­ mation In ’turn was relayed to the Bank of Manhattan company, which, as a matter of policy, put :,n operation its full machinery to safeguard against the possibility of the original check coming through. This, however, is regarded unlikely. It was sworn by the proper authorities that the goat had masticated the check as thoroughly as if'it had been tom into bits. The total cost to all persons con­ cerned in time and mane;-, was esti­ mated by one authority on banking and commercial practice to hate been $450. Dope Users Increasing Among Professional Men Philadelphia.—“If Director Butler has done nothing else, since taking charge of the police department in this ■city, he has made dope so hard to get that the ‘bootleg* price has advanced from $35 to $150 an ounce,” A. O. H. de Ia Gardia, chief of the Federal nar­ cotic office here, said. The report of the narcotic office for the last year,' Mr. de la Gurdia added, will show an increase in the number of arrests of drug addicts. “Addiction to drugs is fast, disap­ pearing among the Chinese In this country, until now it has become an American evil, particularly with refer­ ence to opium smoking. “American professional men are be­ coming the greatest addicts to the drug hab'it.

Heatdng the cries for help which the nurse­ maid set up on discovering the baby’s plight, Pietro Negrinelli, eleven, rushed to the scene and, not stopping to disrobe, threw himself Into the water.
