Prospects for the Seventh Annuar National Dairy Show Chicago

While this jevent has each year givshyen evidence of its usefulness to the dairy world yet the rounding out of tbe seven-year period promises to give to the country one of the most valuable educational shows ever pre-

bull sented With the thought in mind that the importation of dairy products ia growing to a dangerous amouni and t)iat present prices and general conshy

Matters opound breeding and feeding will be presented by demonstration and discussion the better handling and marketing of dairy products wil l be discussedmdashin fact everything that will tend to aid in profitable^ dairy farmiiig will be here shoâ and talked over by the highest national authorities The machinery departshyment will have many active interestshying and instructive exhibits It is the intention that every exhibitor shall have an opportunity to display his exshyhibit wholly or in part in active use thus giving practical demonstrationa under expert hands But the cow and her place upon the farm will be the paramount issue with $9000000 anshynually being shipped out of this counshytry for dairy products the cow and how to increase her capacity has the most need of consideration by all patriotic citizens

No farmer in the middle west be hei already engaged in dairying or not ccn afford to overlook this ten-day short course in all that is best for tho farm In fact this show has assumed a relashytion with farming and dairying that makes it the annual round-up of all affairs of the dairy world where v

Session Armstrong accompanied by irkby and Robert Maitland find a note

thatNewbold had left in the deserted cabin and know that the girl is in his Keeping Fate brings all the actors to-gether

CHAPTER X X r 1 The Converging Trails bull Whatever the feeling of the others Armstrong found himself unable to Bleep that night It seemed to him that fate was about to play him the meanest and most fantastic of tricks Many times before in his crowded life he had loved other women or so he characterized his feelings but his passhysion for Louise Rosser Newbold had been in a class by itself until he had met Enid Maitland Between the two there had been many women but these two were the high points the rest was lowland

Once before therefore this Newbold had cut in ahead of him and had won the woman he loved Armstrong had cherished a hard grudge against him (for a long time He had not been of ithose who had formed the rescue party led by old Kirkby and Maitland which hadburied the poor woman on the great Butte in the deep canon Before he got back to the camp the whole affair was over and Newbold had departed Luckily for him Armshystrong had always thought for he had been so mad with grief and rage and Jealousy that if he had come across him helpless or not he would have killed him out of hand

Armstrong had soon enough forgotshyten Louise Rosser but he had not forgotten Newbold A l l his ancient anshyimosity had flamed into instant life again at the sight of his name last night The inveteracy of his hatred had been in no way abated by the lapse of time it seemed

Everybody in the mining camp had supposed that Newbold had wandered - off and perished in the mountains else

Armstrong might have pursued him and hunted him down The sight of his name on that piece of paper was outward and visible evidence that he st i l l lived It had almost ihe shock of a resurrection and a resurrection to hatred rather than to love if Newbold had been alone in the world If Armstrong had chanced upon him in the solitude he would have hated him Just as he did but when he thought that hifr aaoient enemy was with the woman he now loved with a growing

A Intensity beside which his former re lentment seemed weak and feeble ho

hated him yet the more He could not tell when the notice

which he had examined carefully was raquo written there was no date upon it

hut he could come to only one cqnclu-bullIon Newbold must have found Enid bullMaitland alone in the mountains very Shortly after her departure and he had her with him in his cabin alone for at least a month Armstrong fritted his teeth at the thought He did not undervalue the personality Newbold He had never happened no see him but he had^ heard enough

about him to understand his qualishyfies as a man The tie that bound Armstrong to Enid Matt land was a strong one but the tie by which he beta her to him if indeed he held her at all was very tenuous and easily broken perhaps it wag broken alshyready and so he hated him still more and more raquo i

Indeed his animosity was so great bull n i growing that for tho moment he toba no Joy in the assurance of tbe girjis safety yet he wasnot altogether imVinfi|rnias and in cafmer moments fr thavked^God In his otrh rough

that the woman he loved was alive and well or had been when the note was written He rejoiced that she had not been swept away with the flood or that she had not been lost in the mountains and forced to wander on finally to starve and freeze and die In one moshyment her nearness caused his heart to throb with joyful anticipation The certainty that at the first flush of day he should seek her again sent the warm blood to his cheeks But those thoughts would be succeeded by the knowledge that she was with his enshyemy Was this man to rob him of the latest love as he had robbed him of the first Perhaps the hardest task that was ever laid upon Armstrong was to lie quietly in his sleeping bag and wait until the morning

So soon as the first indication of dawn showed over the crack of the door he slipped quietly out of his sleeping bag and without disturbing the others drew on hi3 boots put on his heavy furcdat and cap and gloves slung his Winchester and hs snow shoes over his shoulder and without stopping for a bite to eat softly openshyed the door stepped out and closed lt after him It was quite dark in the bottom of the canon although a few pale gleams overhead indicated the near approach of day It was quite still too There were clouds on the mountain top heavy with threat of wind and snow

The way was not difficult the direcshytion of it that is Nor was the going very difficult at first the snow was frozen and the crust was strong enough to bear him He did not need his snow shoes and indeed would have had little chance to use them in the narrow broken rocky pass He had slipped away from the othersbecause he wanted to be first to see the man and the woman He did not want any witnesses to that meeting They would have come on later of course but he wanted an hour or two In prishyvate with Enid and Newbold without any interruption His conscience was not clear Nor could he settle upon a course of action

How much Newbold knew of his former attempt to win away his wife how much of what he knew he had told Enid Maitland Armstrong could not surmise Putting himself into Newbolds place and imagining that the engineer had possessed entire inshyformation he1 decided that he must have told everything to EnAd_Maitshyland as soon as he had found out the quasi relation between her and Armshystrong And Armstrong did not believe the woman he loved could be in anyshybodys presence a month without tellshying something about him Still it was possible that Newbold knew nothing and that he told nothing therefore

The situation was paralyzing to a man of Armstrongs decided determinshyed temperament He could not decide upon the line of conduct he should pursue His course in this the most critical emergency he had ever faced must be determined by circumstances of which he felt with savage resentshyment he was in some measure the sport He would have to leavo to chance what ought to be subject to his will Of only one thing he was suremdash he would stop at nothing murder lyshying nothing to win the womanând to settle his score with that man

There was really only one thing he could do and that was to press on up the canon He had no idea how far it might be or how long a journey he would have to make before he reached that shelf on the high hill where stood that hut in which she dwelt As the crow flies it could not be a great distance but the canon zigzagged through the mountains with as many curves and angles as a lightshyning flash He plodded on therefore with furious haste recklessly speedshy

i n g over places where a misstep in the snow or a slip on the icy rocks would have meant death or disaster to him

He had gone about an hour and had perhaps made four miles from the camp when the storm burst upon him It was now broad day but the sky was filled with clouds and the air with driving snow The wind whistled down the canon with terrific force It was with difficulty that he made any headway at all against tt It was a local storm if he could have looked through the snow he would have discovered calm-

on tbe top of the peak3 It was one of those sudden squalls of wind and snow which rage with terrific force while they last but whose rage was limited and whose violent dura tion would be short

A less determined man than he would have bowed to the inevitable and sought some shelter behind a rock until the fury of the tempest was spent but there was no storm that blew that could stop this man o long as he bad strength to drive against it So he bent bis head to tbe fierce blast and struggled on There

was something titanic and magnificent about tula Iron determination and tpp sfatance of Armstrong The twd most

powerful passions which inove humanshyity were at his service love led him and hate drove him And the two were o intermingled that it was difshyficult to say which predominated now one and now the other The resultant of the two forces however was an onward move that would not be deshynied

His fur coat was soon covered with snow and ice the sharp needles of the storm cut his face wherever it was exshyposed The wind forced its way through his garments and chilled him to the bone He had eaten nothing since the night before anfl his vitalshyity was not at its flood but he pressed on and there was something grand in his indomitable progress Excelshysior

Back in the hut Kirkby and Maitland sat around the fire waiting most impashytiently for the wind to blow itself out and for that snow to stop falling through which Armstrong struggled forward As he followed the windings of the eampnon not daring to ascend to the summit on either wall and seek short cuts across the range he was sensible that he was constantly rising There were many indications to his experienced mind the decrease in the height cf the surrounding pines the increasing rarity of the icy air the growing difficulty in breathing under the sustained exertion he w_as making the quick throbbing of his accelerated heart all told him he was approaching his journeys end

He judged that he must now be drawing near the source of the stream and that he would presently come upon the shelter He had no means of ascertaining the time He would not have dared to unbutton his coat to glance at his watch and it is difficult to measure the flying minutes In such scenes as those through which he passshyed but he thought he must have gone at least seven miles in perhaps three hours which he fancied had elapsed his progress in tho last two having been frightfully slow Every foot of advance he had had to flght for

Suddenly a quick turn in the canon a passage through a narrow entrance between lofty cliffs and he found himshyself in a pocket or a circular amphishytheater which he could see was closed on the farther side The bottom of this enclosure or valley was covered with -shelf A hard trampled path ran be-pines now drooping under tremendous burdens of snow In the midst of the pines a lakelet was frozen solid the ice was covered with the same dazshyzling carpet of white

He could have seen nothing of this had not the sudden storm now stopped as precipitately almost as it had beshygun Indeed accustomed to the gray ness of the snow fail his eyes were fairly dazzled by the bright light of the sun now quite high over the range which struck blmûtt-1n the face -

He stopped panting exhausted and leaned against the rocky wall of the canons mouth which here rose sheer over his head This certainly was the end of the trail the lake was the source of the frozen rivulet along whose rocky and torn banks he had tramped since dawn Here if anyshywhere he would find the object of his quest

Refreshed by a brief pause and encouraged by the sudden stilling of the storm he stepped out of the canon and ascended a little knoll whence he had a full view of the pocket over the tops of the pines Shading his eyes from the light with his hand as besHie could he slowly swept the circumfershyence with his eager glance seeing nothing until his eye fell upon a huge broken trail ofrocks projecting from the snow indicating the ascent to a broad shelf of the mountains across the lake to the right Following this he saw a huge block of snow which suggested dimly the outlines of a hut

Was that the place Was she there He stared fascinated and as he did so a thin curl of smoke rose above the snow heap and wavered up In the cold quiet air That was a human habitashytion then It could be none other than the hut referred to in tho note Enid Maitland must be there and Newbold

The lake lay directly in front of him beyond the trees at the foot of the knoll and between him and the slope that led up to the hut1 If it had been summer he would have been compellshyed to follow the waters edge to the right or to the left both journeys would have led over difficult trails with little to choose between them but the lake was now frozen hard and covered with snow He had no doubt that the snow would bear him but to make sure he drew his snow shoes from his shoulder slipped his feet t J the straps and sped straight 0^ through the trees and across it like aa arrow from a bow

In five minutes he was at the foot of the giant stairs Kicking off bAs snow shoes he scrambled up the broken way easily finding in the snow a trail which bad evidently been passed and repassed daily In a few moments he was at tbe tor) of the

vain attempt again to influence the woman who was now the deciding and determining factor and who seemed to be taking the mans place Newbold ready for his journey had torn himshyself away from her presence and had plunged down the giant stair He had done everything that mortal man could da for her comfort wood enough to last her for two weeks had been taken from the cave and piled in the kitchshyen and everywhere so as to be easily accessible to her the stores she alshyready had the run of and be had fitshyted a stout bar to the outer door which would render It impregnable to any attack that might be made against it although he saw no quarter from which any assault impended

Enid had recovered not only her strength but a good deal of her nerve That she loved this man and that he loved her had given her courage She would be fearfully lonely of course but not so much afraid as before The month of immunity in the mountains without any interruptions had dissishypated any possible apprehensions on her part It was with a sinking heart however that she saw him go at last

They had been so much together in that month they had learned what love was When he came back it would be different he would not come alone The first human being ho met would bring the world to the door of the lonely but beloved cabin in the mountainsmdashthe world with its quesshytions its Inference its suspicious ita denunciations and its accusatlonsi-Somo kind of an explanation would have to be made some sort an anshyswer would have to be given some soshylution of the problem would have to be arrived at What these would be she could not tell

Newbolds departure was like tho end of an era to her The curtain dropped when it rose again what was to be expected There was no comshyfort except in^ tho thought that she loved him So long as their affections matchedând rjm Jogether Jpound4sectidegJsgt else mattere With the soluTioTot it all next to her sadly beating heart she was still ^supremely confident that fove^ or Godmdashand there was not so much difference between them as to make it worth while to mention the one rather than the oiliermdashwould find the way

Their leavo taking had been singushylarly cold and abrupt She had realshyized the danger ho was apt to Incur and she had exacted a reluctant promshyise from him that he would be careful

Dont throw your life away dont risk it even remember that it is mine she had urged

And just a3 simply as she had enshyjoined it upon him he had promised He had given his word that he would not send help back to her but that he would bring it back and she had conshyfidence in that word A confidence that had he been inclined to break his promise would have made it absoluteshyly impossible There had been a long clasp of tyj hands a long look in the eyes a long brealh in tho breast a long throb n the heart and then-farewell They dared no more

QK ie lSJS iv kad W t ^ c f $ 3 8 frac34 had stood upon the plateau and folshylowed his vanishing figure with anxishyous troubled thought until it had been lost in the depths of tho forest below She had controlied herself in thi3

second parting for his sake as well as her own Under the ashes of his grim repression she realized the presshyence of Jive coals which a breath would have fanned into flame She dared nothing while he was there but when he shut tho door behind him the neshycessity for self-control was removed She had laid her arms on the table and bowed hsr head upon them and shook and quivered with emotions unshyrelieved by a single tearmdashweeping was for lighter hearts and less severe demands

His position after all was the easier of the two As of old It was tbe man who went forth to the battlefield while the woman could only wait passively the issue of the fight Although he wa3 half blinded with emotions he had to give some thought to his progress and there was yet One task to be done before be could set forth upon his journey toward civilization and resshycue

It was fortunate as it turned out that this obligation detained him He was that type of a merciful man whose mercies extended to his beasts The poor little burros must be attended to and their safety assured so far as It could be for it would be Impossible for Enid Maitland to care for them Indeed he had already exacted a prom-tee from her that she would not leave the plateau and risk her life on the icy stairs with which she was so unfamiliar

He had gone to the corral and shakshyen down food enough for them which if it had been doled out to tbem day by day would have lasted longer than the week bo intended to be absent of course be realised that Uroy would eat

tween high wall of snow to a door

Beutad that door what would he flrtf Just what he brought to it love and hate he fancied Wo usually find on the other side of doors no more and no less than we bring to our own sides But whatshyever was there there was no hesitashytion to Armstongs course He ran toward it laid his hand on the latch and opened it -i What creatures of habit we are) Barry in tbat same morning after on

it up in half that time but even so they would probably suffer not too great discomfort before he got back

A l l these preparations took some litshytle time It had grown somewhat late in the morning before he started There had been a fierce storm raging when he first looked out and at her earnest solicitation he had delayed his departure until i t had subsided

His tasks at the corral were a t last completed he had done what he could for them both nothing now remained but to make the quickest and safest way to the settlement Shouldering the pack containing his axe and gun and sleeping bag and such provision as would serve to tide him over unshytil he reached human habitations he set forth He did not look up to the hut Indeed he could not have seen it for the corral was almost directly beshyneath it but if it had been in full view he would not have looked back be could not trust himself to every inshystinct every impulse in his soul would fain drag him back to that hut and to the woman It was only his will and did he but know lt her will that made him carry out his purpose

He would have saved perhaps half a mile on his journey if he had gone straight across the lake to tbe mouth of the canon We are creatures of habit He had always gone around the lake on the familiar trail and unshyconsciously he followed that trail that morning He was thinking of her aa he plodded on in a mechanical way while the trail followed the border of the lake for a time plunged into the woods wound among the pines at least reaching that narrow rift in the enshycircling wall through which the river flowed He had paseed along the trail oblivious to all his surroundings but as he came to the entrance he could not fail to notice what he suddenly saw in the snow i

Robinson Crusoe when he discovshyered the famous footprint of Man Frishyday in the sand was not more astonshyished at what met his vision than Kggbold onthat winter morning For there in The virgin whiteness were the tracks of a man

Ho stopped ueau with a sudden con- traction of the heart Humanity othshyer than he and she in that wilderness It could not be For a moment he doubled the evidence of his own senshyses He shook his pack loose from his shoulders and bent down to examine the tracks to read if he could their indications He could see that some one had come up the canon that someshyone had leaned against the wall that some one had gone on Where had ho gone

To follow tho new trail was childs play for him He ran by the side of it until he reached the knoll The stranger had stopped again he had shifted frcm one foot to another evishydently ho had been looking about him seeking some one only Enid Malt-land of course The trail ran forward to the edge of the frozen lake there the man had put on his snow shoes there he had sped across the lake ljje an arrow and like an arrow himself although he had left behind his own snow sês^l^wSoTd ran upon l i l s tract ^mmaTeTy Hiesnow crust up^ bore him The trail ran straight to the foot of the rocky stairs The newshycomer had easily found his way there

With beating heart and throbbing pulse Newbold himself bounded up the acclivity after the stranger markshying as he did so evidences of the othshyers prior ascent Reaching the top like him he ran down the narrow path and in his turn laid his hand upon the door

He was not mistaken he beard voices within He listened a second and then flung It open and as the othshyer had done he entered

Way back on the trail old Kirkby and Robert Maitland the storm having ceased were rapidly climbing up the canon Fate was bringing all the ao-tors of the little drama within the shadow of her hand

By MOLLIE BROWN San Francisco

K D O U B T E D L Y the men who first wore buttons advocated matrimony and wished for a wife The old time bachelor butshytons were essential to dignity and comfort and were not mere ly a tag of eligibility

Mrs Frank Page society leader of Cambridge Mass blossomed forth and stated that a bachelor button (indicating freedom from matrimonal strife) should be worn on the coat lapel

I doubt the advisability of tagging the dear boys who enjoy single blessedness

What good would it do It would not increase their usefulness nor add to their popularity Bachelor ensigns would probably mean in the bullwords of the old songs Im Glad Im Free or Darling I Am Wait ing for Thee according to the viewpoint

Some financiers say Dont tag the bachelors but tax them That is a thieving proposition and only married folks would sanction it

The world needs bachelorsmdashmen and womenmdashand they look good and do good without the label

If there must needs be tagging done I suggest that we tag the married man with a sign so large that he who runs may read

I dont think that bachelors pose as married men but married men often pose as bachelors when seeking their soul mates

Some sympathetic well intentioned persons might say that a man encumbered or blessed (as the case might be) with a wife and family has tags enough But is it not reasonable to suppose that any married man could carry the extra weight of a tag or button bearing the warning Girls I am not free there are other tags on me

Put a label on bachelors Perish the thought A tag would embarrass those worthy bipeds

Remember this is leap year and all liberty lovshying bachelors cherish the inspired words of Patrick Henry Give me liberty or give me death

People Must Live Within Their Means

By Lllties Swliiey Cincinnati 0

It is well known that many men arenot paid salaries that compensate them for the time they devote to business yet the quesshytion in this time of strong competition is not how much the position is worth but to find the best man to fill it at the lowest salary

Nevertheless when a couple is forced to resort to taking roomers despite a salary of $95 a month there must be a leak someshywhere People of today live in too exshypensive apartments many men on this salshyary paying as high as $40 a month instead of renting a four or five room stove heated

ât for half that amount and the difference set aside for homes of their tgtwn

Again our men and women are both clothes and amusement mad They crave and want everything new and the best in wearing apparel Theaters and clubs must be indulged in and what is the result These take so much of their salary that the laws of God and nature must be broken and they refuse to bring children into the world

Now what is the result of this Ill health and divorce stand out most prominent

Rather than live in less pretentious apartments and wear last seasons garments of course a little old style in cut but just as warm tod comfortshyable and shut themselves out of society for a season or more they put out of their lives Gods greatest blessing children

Until our people learn that a salaried man cannot live like a millionshyaire and that the laws of God and nature must be obeyed this great evil of divorce will not cease

Boys should be taught the possibilities of their pent up voices Let them exercise their voices as well as their muscles

NEW YORKmdashThe greatest most luxurious and complete developshyment of country life that 1B to be found In America is on Long Isshy

land One part of Long Island particshyularly surpasses all the rest ln the number and magnificence of its great estates This is the northern half of Nassau county The region which extends from Great Neck to Cold Spring Harbor and from the sound-south nearly to the main line of the Long island railroad contains greater wealth than any portion of the earthB surface of a similar size outside of a town or city It is within 30 or 40 minutes of Manhattan by rail In a well-driven motor car one may pass from one boundary to the other of this section north or south or east or west in from 30 to 25 minutes In this neighborhood more than 200 pershysons of great wealth have given an expression of their accumulated riches in the largest number of beautiful country estates in America A l l this has come about within the last 25 or 80 years

This part of Long Island is of great natural beauty It has the highest hills some rising more than 400 feet above the sea There are several splenshydid deep water havens without rocks reefs or shoals where the largest of steam yachts may lie at anchor Hempshystead Oyster Bay and Cold Spring Harbors have been famous since the days of the Indians The anchorage of the New York Yacht club in the East river can be reached from them easshyily by steam yachts or power boats in from an hour to an hour and a quarter This region has the greatest mileage of stone roads of any section of equal area in the United States These country highways have lost nothing of their rustic beauty by being macadamized and motoring over them is a delight They are so smooth that the hilly nature of the country offers no impediment to the autoists enjoyshyment In this section also are found the finest trees and the richest soil A greater variety of plants and trees can be raised to perfection there than anywhere else in America It i f no wonder therefore that not only the very rich have selected this region for their country homes or that those who are kmly fairly well-to-do have been quick to see its advantages and build their houses there The developers of suburban real estate also have found mis one of their most attractive fields

Select Club Land This Bect ion too ls where club life

reaches perfection There are clubs for land sports and clubs for water sports The Meadow Brook Hunt club ls one of the most famous of the forshymer^ This is the finest fox-hunting re-gionln America The Nassau Country club and half a dozen golf clubs cover many acres and afford all the enjoyshyments of out-of-door life The Piping Hock Country club ls the largest and newest of aU and probably is the most magnificently appointed organization of Its kind in the Western Hemishysphere ln addition to these there are fishing clubs gun clubs automobile clubsmdashin fact a man may find there almost any kind of club for outdoor sports that ne can thinkNOf The horse shows that are held in tfreôpen air every autumn attract a larger attendshyance from the society folk than the annual event ln Madison Square garshyden

Mackay Mansion at Roslyn millionaires They have none of the trials or worries of money getting They are concerned more with the en Joyment of life under sunny skies with every accessory that money can buy But there are many others who are still busy heaping up their great fortunes still higher These folk find the same relaxation and rest on their country estates at night and weekshyends that the small business man does who lives Jn sight of them in his cotshytage

The season of the greatest social activity in this widespread colony of millionaires is the autumn but many of the owners of the great estates open their houses ia Apri l and -stay there much of the time until after Thanksgiving Some spend a few weeks In Europe during the summer but by early in September there is hardly a house whose family is away They are all very neighborly The automobile has moved other splendid places of residence on Long Island close up to this one It is only an hour or sos motoring from one fine section to another on the south shore or out toward the easternend of the island Nothing is thought of riding 50 miles of an afternoon or evening for a game of bridge or for a dance Of late years the automobile has beshycome as much a necessity as the horse used to be Some of these rich resishydents on Long Island have a dozen motor cars constantly in commission and a few have as many as 25 or 80 One man is said to own 50 A good many of the dwellers in the- Nassau county district travel back and forth by automobile from their homes to business Others whose homes are near the Sound make the trip during the summer months by yacht

Founded by A T Stewart

The nucleus of this colony of milshylionaires was near Westbury and dates from the founding of the Meadow Brook club in 1881 As far back as 1266 A T Stewart bought 9-000 acres of land near Garden City At that rime his purchase was reshygarded as the height of a rich mans folly and the farmers were glad to sell their possessions at from $40 to $60 an acre Later when the Meadow Brook club became popular land beshygan to rise slowly at first but subseshyquently with vertiginous rapidity The original settlersmdashQuakers for the most partmdashwere slow to sell but litshytle by little they parted with their homstead farms which were combined and laid out in vast estates for the enjoyment of those who built the palaces that replaced the low-roofed rambling houses Today $10000 an acre is asked for many desirable tracts of land in this region This is especially the case where the land has been allowed to retain all its natural beauty and where the groves of great trees have remained untouched by the ax

mansion is on the top of a wooded hill 230 feet above the level of the road where it passes the lodge gates On clear days ships on the ocean can be seen from there and the nearer daily panorama of Long Island sound The big buildings in Manhattan are within view and at night the lights of Broadway are visible from the housetop There are ten miles of driveways and four miles of footshypaths The management of the place is as carefully organized as any big business enterprise There are a number of different departments each with its head all under the sushypervision of a general manager who reports direct to the owner An exshypert accountant comes quarterly and audits the books

SHELL GOES LONG DISTANCE) Interesting History of 12raquo)heh Projeo

tile^ Used in 8 ^ n l a h W a r ^ e

Traveled Four Miles

Screaming out its defiant message of possible death and disaster a 12-lnch 1000-pound shell was sent across the Bay of Santiago on the fateful morning of July 3 1898 from one of the battleshipsmdashTexas Iowa or In^ diana The Bh ell traveled a distance-of between three and four miles and found lodgment ln the side of a rocky hill just behind Morro castle the charge being unexploded It now re poses peacefully on the sidewalk i n front of a store in Carson street Southside near Twenty-seventh street but minus the charge

Thousands of people pass the spot daily but little or no heed is given by them to this interesting relic of Unshycle Sams encounter with the one-time great power of Spain

The shell was shipped on October 20 1890 by Capt Surgeon James McshyKay United States navy to his father Stephen McKay of this city and is much prized by the latter as a reliogt and souvenir j

Capt McKay gave an interesting de scription of the circumstances attend ing the firing and finding of the shell He states The shell was fired from the Indiana or Texas from a distance of between three or four miles and it was doubtless fired at the eastern battery a concealed battery of several[ old bronze cannon situated in a hol-i low in the bluff and only visible from several miles at sea Our ships paidi great attention to this particular baV tery from noticing that while the| muzzles of the cannon were visible^ over the embankment before firing they disappeared simultaneously with that operation Now from the excelshylent habit drilled into the men of the navy of overestimating rather than^ doubting the strength of the enemyj they decided the battery must be com4-posed of modern rifled disappearing guns and acted accordingly v Every now and again and when the ship seemed most quiet one or another would drop a carefully calculated shell in such close proximity as to keep the-artillerists working the guns ln a state of constant terror This shell from its position must have flown over the guns and men at just sufficient height to clear the ridge and plunge into the hi l l beyond It missed its mark by a very smell margin However the hunshydreds of holes some large enough tc form a cellar for a large dwelling scattered all about and within the battery the dismounted crippled and half-burled pieces and the general wreck made of nature in the entire-vicinity speak only too eloquently o r the excellent marksmanship of our gunners and the splendid conduct o r our ships In general

When Admiral Sampson visited the above-mentioned battery some month after the surrender he smilingly told how they had been fooled by tho strange disappearing qualities of the old guns Many of thes old piece dated back to 1718 and were masse of most wonderful and beautiful hand carving but the gun carriages were-not more than 100 years old hence the parts did not fit and the recoil mechshyanism (great buffer springs) being useless the piece on being discharged would bound back into the air t h full length of the carriage (15 feet) The muzzles were visible over th cement before firing but their reshybound flight carried them far out of sight hence the disappearing gun which deceived our men for a while1

The shell singular to relate show but slight marks of its impact wi th its rocky billet another proof of th care wifh which American projectile h

are fashionedmdashPittsburgh Dispatch

When the invitations to Emily Crushygers wedding at her fathers country place on the Hudson arrived every one knew what was going to happenmdash and it did happen Horses were unshyharnessed motor cars were ordered back into their garages and we went up in the day coaches Qf a railroad special with a flurry of snow driving against the windows

We were met at the little station shed by a row of closed carriages Jotted off to a village church and packshyed Into tight little pews Xbere if one were really an old and dear friend of the family and had known the bride since she was a tow-headed little girl i n fluffy frocks he berated old Genshyeral Cruger as though he were a pickshypocket vilified Emily and damned the Institution of marriage Then we were whisked away in the snow-covered^ carshyriages to Cliffcourt and luncheon Bu first we piled our rubbers in kute-roozn by the porte-coikere passed in review before the old general kissed the tips of Emilys gloved fingers quoted to the groom the appropriate remark of Solomon and then girded our loins to fight for a place by the Generals fleshpots

Fortune sat me down at luncheon opposite a man at whom I was very glad to have a look Vague whispershyings had linked his name with Emily Crugers for many a long day He had proceeded with his plans to win her with the deliberation of a Japanese leld marshal

But women are not to be taken with l chain of forts

The man was carrying on his Jfcca t courteous unconcern but t enamel gtf it was set over savage lines

Gossip had it that his plans for the hotising of this wife were already carshyried out the land for a mile farther up the Hudson had become the splenshydid formal gardens of a French esshytate the rising walls of the chateau loomed a line of gray on the bluff above the river The great Oriental was making ready while he waited

I had no opportunity to speak with him Mrs Chenley Gaynor with a niece on the block hadV him at ber right The practical old dowager was n every slave-market

Any mother would have feared so dangerous a man but not so Mrs Chenley Gaynor This freebooter was the richest on the seas he had sacks of doubloons packed to the gunwale of bis brig What mattered it if the

bulldearest illusion of a maid walked the plank with two gold pieces bound tight over its eyelids provided one pot a ocuntry estate a town house ind perhaps ayacht Mammon was the only god who was never sleeping or on a journey The man hovered a bit about the debutante praising ber charms but he did not want her that was clear He nursed a hurt with his hand on his cutlass

I was glad that the old general was Independent and the man Emily Crushyger had chosen well enough to do This brown wolf would be a fearful beaBt prowling at ones door

We depleted the larder to its last pate got into our rubbers and pro-seeded to embark in our covered carshyriages We trod upon one anothers toes jammed our elbows into our neighbors and apologized sweetly for it but underneath I fear we were ra-renlng wolves The tragedy of a counshytry wedding in a May blizzard twenty miles from New York ^ The women all had been carted ampway and I was entering a carriage After the last man when a servant ran out and said the general greatly wish-id me to remain

The servant took me to a guest cham-

but I await the destiny of the helpless old grandmother

He reached out his arm moved some papers on the library table unshycovering a legal document in its blue stiff wrapper

I have got to sign this for him he went on and then blow on my fingers to warm them I suppose The place here is deeded to Emily and this property is all I have left

He took up the paper and handed it over to me I read it carefully through It was a first mortgage on certain coal lands and mines of the Pittsburg vein in what is known as the Fairmont region securing a two-hundred-thousand-dollar issue of bonds It was made by the Cruger Coal comshypany to the Exingtun Trust company as trustee

Y C A see Courtlandt the old gen-Viuan went on by way of explanashytion I am the Cruger Coal company mdashpresident and all with a few friendshyly dummies to make the corporation valid I owe this wolf two hundred thousand dollars He agrees to take the bond issue for the debt He might as well take a deed for the property It is worth perhaps forty thousand dollars more than that but he wi l l get it in the end for the debt A deed direct to him would be a little bold just now a bit like exacting smart money punitive damages for the loss of Emily

He leaned over got a little flaming twig from the fire and relighted his burned-out cigar with it Then he went oa

There is a fragment of unbelieve-able history about that debt Courtshylandt manufactured with the greatest care by this wolf Three years ago when I knew only the exterior of the man he came to me and said that the Midland and Tidewater railroad wishshyed to borrow about half a million dolshylars and that he was exceedingly anxious to assist it to obtain the money that the banks in New York were short because of the recent Janushyary payment of dividends but be was advised that the Granite Mountain Inshysurance Company at Montpelier had a lot of idle money He was not acshyquainted with tho officers of this comshypany but some one had told him that I was born in Montpelier and that my cousin Senator Lap man was presishydent of the company Perhaps I would give him a letter of Introduction I gave him a letter saying that be was known to me and tbat he was a man of large financial relations in fact a rather friendly letter

Business in New England 1raquo on a rather higher plane tampraquou one finds it here On goes further W^hen ones lather and grandfather are known the value of what one says is also known Well this wolf took his railroad man up there presented his letter and got the loan for him pledgshying hpound word for the soundness of the securities and by strong inferenqe pledging my word too The insurance company paid out four hundred thoushysand dollars and took the bonds of the railroad for one half-million of dolshylars

Three months later the railroad went into the hands of a receiver was spjd brought merely the value of the receivers certificates which the court had issued to cover its operating exshypenses and the bonds were of course worthless

Senator Lapman came to me and I went at once to the wolf I told him that the Granite mountain officials had relied on his word and mine that he had guaranteed the security in pershyson before the board and it must now be made good He replied that I was

ber where I found a glass of whisky | Quite right he would make it wholly

i hot bath and a dinner jacket Meanshywhile night descended and I Joined the old general below stairs We dined in rather desolate splendor unshyder the lamps after that we smoked by a little smoldering twig fire in the library overlooking the river Then it was that I discovered why he wished me to remain

raquot the snow driving up fhe dim river Emily loves this place he said

I am glad X saved it to her but it was like the story in the Russian fairy book I tossed the wolf everything

sat down in his leather chair with bis feet stretched out to the fender

good but tbat he would have to borshyrow the money as he had not so much to his credit He asked me to wait while he went across the street to his bank In a few moments he returned said the bank would loan him the money on his personal note but that to keep within its rules the note would require two names on i t He could put his office boy on be said but If I would indorse it the transacshytion would appear rather better

I knew that he was perfectly good for that sum as good as the sub-treasshyury and I at once said that I would comply with his request

We went together to the bank an officer made out a note he signed i t and passed it to me I noticed that l t was in the form of a Joint note but

interest on our note for several years that he had used his good offices with the bank to get al l the time for me that he could that the bank refused to carry the paper any longer and we must arrange to pay it In the greatshyest surprise I recalled the occurrence to his ntemory In minute detail He replied composedly that I was -quite mistaken he was no more responsible

-to-tfee neither of us had been legally bound but both had felt morally obliged to make good the loss and so u joint note had been executed and the money paid to me I surely remembered that

I turned around without another word and went to my solicitor He examined the note at the bank quesshytioned the cashier and advised me that the bank would certainly sue on the note and that I should have to pay my half of it I was horriWy disshyturbed I did not know where to get two hundred thousand dollars Everyshything I possessed would hardly bring that sum jinder the hammer besides I wanted to give this place to Emily In this dilemma the bank again notishyfied me that the note would be reduced to judgment if not paid within thirty days but addedthat if I would exeshycute a mortgage^gn^ my coal property of which it seems to have had an exshyact statement lt could place the bonds for my share of the note and as the wolf stood ready to pay his share in cash the matter could be settled I agreed to this plan because it left me free to convey this place to Emily for her marriage portion I have since learned that this wolf Myron Gates takes these bonds

The old man paused a moment reshymoved his eyeglasses and laid them on the table then he went on I have also learned that the whole thing from its inception was a plan of Gates to get me into his power He ln fact owned the worthless securities which were transferred to the Granite Mounshytain Insurance company He it was who got the four hundred thousand dollars he it was who directed the bank to make out a joint note while I waited for him in his ofllce the deshylivery of the cash to me was a part of the scheme that the officers of the bank could testify that the loan was for me He got the two hundred thoushysand dollars which I must pay back to the bank

He arose and began to walk up and down the library There was a time he continuedTwhen one could call out such a creature and make him stand up before a pistol for an act like this The custom had its value which we forget now When bloodshyletting was the penalty sneaking cads kept their tongues tucked back of their teeth and their fingers but of other mens pockets The law has disarmed the gentlemen but left the viper his fangs You are wondering now Courtlandt why this man was here at the wedding luncheon but Emily knows nothing of all this

Now my dear wedding guest he said smiling over the whisky I am VP to the point where the Bhip went down like lead and am come to the explanation of your marooning I have no source of income now but an inadequate little pension I canshynot live on it anywhere in America without my poverty being patent to Emily and her friends I must get out of the country I have thought about some little village in Southern France where one could have at slight cost the necessities of life a servant and sunshine I remembered that you had been over there for some time witb Randolph Mason and would know about it

General Cruger I said before we discuss exile let us see if Myron Gates cannot be got at in some way The wolf might be forced to disgorge this money perhaps we could find a way to scorch him somewhere with a fireshybrand It seems to me a duty of a rather superior sort to pour a pot of pitch on the head of such a devils imp

He shook his head somewhat hopeshylessly at that Do not get a wrong impression of me Courtlandt he said I should like to pack coals unshyder the beast if I could I do not fear him I have no refinements of false conscience against meeting his treachshyery with steel traps set in the leaves of bis den but even the discussion of such a thing is idle I have gone over it more than once with the best attorneys in the city and they saw

no hope in a suit It would be my word against his but to support his word would be my letter of introducshytion the joint note the evidence of the bank officers that the money was paid to me personallymdashthese things would convince a jury of candlestick-makers and the like One firm of lawshyyers on upper Nassau thought I was lying even to them about i t

But General I said Randolph Mason is not the usual practitioner of New York Permit me to talk the matter over with him Something may come of it I remembered that banks often pre

ferred obligations in that form and 14 His manner did not conceal how did not hesitate1 to sign i t Then at his request the bank delivered the money to me and I went at once to Montpelier and adjusted the matter wHh the insurance company I forgot the incident tbdn but remembered how honorable the wolf was

The bid generals jaw tightened en the bitter word He broke the cigar in his fingers and threw the pieces inshyto the Are

One morning after Emilys cards were out I got sV letter from the bank calling my attention to this note and saying it must be paid I was dumbshyfounded I bad supposed that the wolf bad paid it long before I went Inshystantly to his ofllce in New Yorfc H met me with a faW as c^d as aWne r

1 had no opportunity to consult with Randolph Mason until the evening of the following day I went Into the room and silting down in tbe chair before the table made my excuses for interrupting bis coffee and told General Crugers story

^rUB^^M^9^ is a great injury to very helpless man MW pound1 flUi mortgage to be avoidedgtw-

He answered me with a listless unshyconcern still looking after tbe deshyparting Pietro It is not to be avoidshyed he said Let the man sign it and pay his debt to the bank

I caught helplessly at the last straw floating out from my disastrous shipshywreck What then I said

What then he repeated wtth the same indplent indifference 1 Why then there will be another day tomorshyrow

And he went out of the room and up to his bedchamber where the sishylent Pietro made ready for his eccenshytric master

I had a long talk that night with Pietro He had a cousin in Polian-no a village about a league from Geshynoa where the Mediterranean makes a little sunny pocket The place he thought ran with General Crugers dream of the Riviera the bay was paved with topaz the far-off back of the sea wine-red as in the days of Homer the air soft as downmdashonly the natives were not to be desired They were picturesque enough for a theatric eye but they were very dirty very stout liars and all sons of the forty thieves His cousin Guido was no better than the worst of them but he kept a very comfortable inn if the fleas in it were only dead His wife Gabriella had once been in the service of the old Marquis Ferretti at Genoa and knew how to serve a gentleman

Pietro would write to this cousin and drive a bargain for every detail of General Crugers needs

There was no comfort to be had from waiting so I picked up a map a Baedecker some current fiction on Italy and taking the evil-fated mortshygage in my pocket went to Cliffcourt the next evening

I almost cried when I saw Genshyeral Cruger his face was so greatly troubled He looked white and feeble an old man in two days

He tried to make a little genial talk at dinner and get back into his old cheery self But it was an effort he gave up presently with a rather bitter smile

Mr Parks he said when we were again in the library Victor Hugo once said that bad fortune always grew worse and pretended it a quotation from the Sybilline bopks He believed that Destiny when it seized a man always hurried him from one disaster to another until it flung him finally into the grave The first blow was not always the one to be wept over It was the second the third that he feared Well here is the second

He took up a letter from the mantel and drew out the sheets as though he would read it to me then he sat down in his chair still holding the sheets in his fingers

I got this letter yesterday from Emily It was written from the St Louis as she went out to sea and brought in by the pilot

He stopped a moment and sat starshying into the fire as if caught by some vagrant memory Then he read the letter

It was a happy letter charmingly put full of tenderness for the old fashyther in his lonely house carrying litshytle directions to him little messages which he should deliver little duties he must perform

He folded the letter and laid it on the table Then he spoke with the disshytinctness of one going firmly to his ruin Italy was now out of the quesshytion he must remain and get employshyment somewhere But first this busishyness with the bank must be concludshyed He would go up to the city with me in the morning execute the mortshygage and take up the note He did not ask me about my conference with Randolph Mason and so I was spared the recital of that failure When the candles burned down I slept again in the guest-chamber above the l i shybrary but no aid came through the gate of dreams Hope had abandoned this derelict to the seas

We went into the wolfs bank at ten oclock the next morning General Crushyger executed the mortgage and a noshytary of the bank filled in the prepared acknowledgment below his signature The bonds were delivered to the secshyretary of Myron Gates the money paid by him to General Cruger who delivered the cash to the bank and got the note stamped Paid Then when the transaction was concluded we had luncheon at a club and I returned to lower Broadway after having promised General Cruger to meet him for dinner at the Holland

When I entered the house Randolph Mason was coming down the stairway He Inquired what business had taken up the morning and I told him as bitshyterly as I could the sequel to my othshyer story General Cruger was now penniless Myron Gates had boarded his galleon and sailed away with Its cargo without a shot at his black flag or the hack of a cutlass on his gunshywales He was over tbe horizon with his loot the thing was ended

Nothing is ended said Mason unshytil lt arrives at its adjustment

Then I said this is a case for the Court of Final Equity if it ever sits

It is a case for me he said I looked at him in wonder A case for you I echoed You

said Execute the mortgage and let the man pay the bank

I did he replied You have folshylowed that direction I believe

I did not understand We followed the inevitable I anshy

swered him It was the only thing to do You recognized that yourself

Vlt was the right thing to do he said but not the only thing

Why Mr Mason I said I asked you What then and you said there would be another day tomorrow

It is here he answered Each ttay to Ha own events Tbe foe ccuv fuse his assistant with multRud of

directions This is to be done now You will at once hold a meeting of the Cruger Coal company under a call signed by all tbe members of the comshypany and as provided by law Preshypare the record of the company in proper form authorize a mortgage on all the property of the company to the London Trust company of this city as trustee to secure a loan of two hunshydred and twenty thousand dollars These mines I discover are easily worth that sum including the earnings for one year Some foreign clients of the banking house of Hurst amp Solshymeyer will pay in cash two hundred thousand dollars for these bonds upshyon the execution of the mortgage Let General Cruger take that Bum and hide it somewhere in Europe under his daughters apron Bring me the mortshygage when it is ready to be signed

In the face of all my experience of Randolph Mason I hazarded an objecshytion

But I said the first mortgage is executed Do you mean that this propshyerty is worth enough to secure anothshyer mortgage

No he answered I have Just said that these minea are worth two hundred and twenty thousand dolshylars

Then I said you mean this loss to fall on Hurst amp Solmeyer

No he said Hurst amp Solmeyer will make twenty thousand dollars

Surely I said you do not mean to date this mortgage before the other one do you No notary could be got to certify an incorrect date

He looked at me a moment Parks he said I fear that you are

beginning to be a foci Then he came down the steps and went Into his prishyvate office ^Thls light breaking suddenly on a

supposedly hopeless darkness conshyfused me or else I had not put useshyless questions to Randolph Mason I should have known better Masons words were never idle nor were his plans visionary and barren whether he bid one do a little or a great thing The story of Naaman and the Prophet was convincing precedent I did not understand these new instructions and could not point ouftheir intent to Genshyeral Cruger but I knew that a pit was being digged for Myron Gates and that was light enough

I explained all this frankly to the old man that evening after dinner at the Holland I urged him with the logic of the Syrians servants If Ranshydolph Mason had bid us build a great looming trap for the wolf we should have done it How much rather then this easy thing which he suggested I did not comprehend any more than he hew it could rult as Mason said it would It would take in my opinshyion words and passes charmed amushylets and the laying on of hands to inshyduce any bankers to advance money on a second mortgage when the propshyerty involved wjis worth scarcely the value of the fifst Still Randolph Mashyson said the bankers would pay over the money and he knew I would pledge my life on that I was aware too that Solmeyer believed in Mason as the Maid of Israel did in Elisha and that the firm had made a fortune of six figures through that faith

I had my way about it in the end The meeting of the Cruger Coal comshypany was held the record correctly made the bonds authorized and the mortgage prepared in every detail as the law required it I took it to Ranshydolph Mason when the scrivener had finished He examined it carefully called in a notary dictated the cerlaquo tificate bad the signatures properly affixed and sent me with it to the bankers They took It with the bonds and handed General Cruger a draft on the Rothschilds in Paris for two hunshydred thousand dollars I walked upshytown with the bewildered old man to his club He was silent for a block of the way dazed by this incredible forshytune Finally he put his hand on my arm

My dear friend he said I seem to be quite awake and yet this event is after the manner of dreams or the illusion of some Oriental drug

He went on slowly a little farther up Broadway Then he stopped as though taken with a sudden resolushytion

and I take it that he has sent you to see if we ourselves understand4t

Then he pulled out the drawer of the table and laid before me the mortshygage a copy of the one executed fdr Myron Gates a report of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia and a copy of the Acts of itpound Legislashyture Each volume was marked with a slip of paper The banker opened first the volume of Acts

You will observe he said that the old form of acknowledgment jfor corporations was changed by this act and a new form given in which the president of the corporation must cerj tify under oath that he is such oflicer and authorized to execute such a par per Now the scrivener who drew the GateB mortgage used the old form of acknowledgment as be found it in the form books while our mortgage you will notice is executed under the new form of acknowledgment

Well I said what important efshyfect can that have The Gates mortshygage is in proper form there is only a mistake in the certificate of acknowlshyedgment That does not invalidate the mortgage nor affect the validity of the bonds

For answer the banker opened the volume of reports and passed it across the table to me his finger marking the page

It was a decision of the Court of Last Resort in the state where the mortgaged propshyerty was situated holding that such a mortgage certified under the old form of acknowledgment could not be admitted to record so as to create a lien on the property that such an acshyknowledgment was void and that spreading such a mortgage so acshyknowledged on the county records did not make it a recorded lien

The matter was now clear The Gatej mortgage was not a lien Gates was only a general creditor The first and only Hen on these coal properties was this last mortgage which was properly acknowledged and could be admitted to record The estate pledged was worth merely the amount of the last mortgage When it was foreshyclosed as it doubtless would be Hurst amp Solmeyers clients the innocent for eign holders of the really secured bonds would be paid in full Myron Gates would come in after them as a general creditor but there would be no assets with which to pay his debt Hia bonds were therefore worthless his debt worthless The bank had been paid in cash the note liquidated thus the bank was not affected Hurst amp Solmeyer would make twenty thousand dollars Myron Gates was the only one upon whom the loss would fall He would be out two hundred thoushysand dollars

I understood now why Randolph Ma son had merely said Let the man exshyecute tbis mortgage and pay the bank When he had looked at the legal paper he had instantly seen the old form of acknowledgment and knew that it was void Myron Gates draftsshyman had worked his undoing It was necessary only to get the money from Gates and pay the note at the bank so that this valid debt would be liquidshyated with cash and the bank eliminatshyed from the problem then create a proper lien to a second creditor and leave Gates to whistle for his money The case was simple eminently pracshyticable impossible of failure Myron Gates had set his own trap digged his own pi t His trap had crushed him his pit received him the score was set tied with him to the last cent

I saw also why Randolph Mason wished to keep the explanation conshyfined to the fewest possible persons He did not wish Gates to discover the defect in his mortgage until he at tempted to foreclose it after the first default in the payment of the interest on his bonds one year after the exeshycution of the mortgage It would then be too late for any proceedings in inshysolvency to affect the second mortgage So he had left the solution a mystery even to me and enjoined Hurst amp Solshymeyer to secrecy Myron Gates would rest easy until he began to foreclose some months perhaps after the end of the year Then he would awake to find his mortgage smoke under him his bonds rags his debt vanished

son directed me to go to Europe and hide this money in my daughters apron I will go tomorrow on the Balshytic Come down to the ship at eleven and explain this miracle to me I will run up home now for the luggage

Then he took a car to bis train and I returned to the banking house of Hurst amp Solmeyer I also wished an explanation I walked straight through tbe building to the private office of the elder banker and sat down beshyfore bim at his table

Solmeyer I said were you sure that tbe brick which you have just bought is gold

The old man smiled and stroked his long patriarchal beard

Yes Mr Parks he said tbis one is gold Gates got the brass one

Impossible I replied Myron Gates got a mortgage prepared by his own scrivener for the full value of this property His security is prior to yours How could bis brick be brasB

The old mans black eyes twinkled in their deep sockets

Mr Parks he said you do not know the Prophets Is i t not written Whoso causeth the righteous to -go astray in an evil way shall fall himshyself into his own pit

The quotation is hopeful I said but into what pit did Myron Gates fall s bull

The old banker looked me searching ly in the face V

Randolph Mason said tbat we were not to tell this thing to any one (tot avoid a charge of notice under the oas died) nut you ar his secretary

arrived Good fortune had restored his middle age his step was springy the muscles of his face firm again the old light rekindled in his eyes He put his arm around my shoulder and we walked to the bow of the steamer The old man was thrilling like a boy over his anticipated plan He would join Emily in Paris they would spin through tbe great Alps to the Italian lakes and return along tbe Riviera to Marseilles but they should live a week not a day less than a whole week with Guido at Polianno in the teetb of the fleas and he would make no bargain with Guido tbe Italian should rob him like a brigand of tbe first order In three years they would return

CHAPTER X X H

The Judge Takes Charge Al l work ou the plantation had

stopped and the hundreds of slavesmdash men women and childrenmdashwere gath ered about the house Among these moved tbe members of the dominant race The judge would have attached himself to the first group but he jheard a whispered question and the answer Miss Malroys lawyer

Clearly it was not for him to mix with these outsiders these curiosity seekers He crossed the lawn to the house and mounted the steps In the doorway was big Steve while groups of men stood about in the hall the hum of busypurposeless talk pervadshying the place The Judge frowned This was all wrong

Mas Mr Ware returned from Memshyphis he asked of Steve

No sah not yet Then show me into the library

said the Judge with bland authority surrendering his hat to the butler Come along Mahaffy he added They entered the library and the iudgo motioned Steve to close the door Now boy youll kindly ask those people to withdrawmdashyou may say it is Judge Prices orders Allow no one to enter the house unless they havo business with me or as 1 send for themmdashyou understand After you have cleared the house you may bring me a decanter of corn whiskymdash stop a bitmdashyou may ask the sheriff to step here

Yes sah And Steve withdrew The judge drew an easy-chair up to

the flat-topped desk that stood in tho center of the room and seated himshyself

Are you gning to make this the excuse for another drunk Price If so 1 feel the greatest contempt for you said Mahaffy sternly

The Judge winced at this You have made a regrettable

choice of words Solomon he urged gently

Wheres your feeling for the boy Here said the judge with an eloshy

quent gesture resting hia baud on bis heart

If you let whisky alone Ill believe you otherwise what I have said must stand

The door opened and the sheriff slouched into tbe room He was chew teg a long wheat straw and his whole appearance waa tne ef troubled weak-Bees

Morning he said briefly SlCvdown sherthyvand the Jurtg

bullvîtalfced with inert tasf

ttt Jrfnw nothing

Please God we may yet put our fingers on some villain who does said the judge

Outside it was noised about that Judge Price had taken matters in handmdashhe was the old fellow who had been warned to keep his mouth shut and who had never stopped talking since A crowd collected beyond tbe library windows and feasted its eyes on the back of this heros bald head

One by one the house servants were ushered into the judges presence First he interrogated little Steve who had gone to Miss Bettys door that morning to rouse her as was his cusshytom Next he examined Bettys maid then the cook and various house servshyants who had nothing especial to toll but told it at considerable length and lastly big Steve

Stop a bit the judge suddenly inshyterrupted the butler in the midst of his narrative Does the overseer alshyways come up to the house the first thing in the morning

Why not exactly sah but he come up this moning sah He was talking to me at the back cf the house when the women run out with the word that Missy was done gone away

He Joined in the search Yes sah When was Miss Malroy seen last

asked the Judge She and the young gemman you

fotched beah were seen ln the gyar-den along about sundown I seen them myself

They had had supper Yes sah Who sleeps here Just little Steve and three of the

women they sleeps at the back of the house sah

No sounds were heard during the night

No sah

from the room and the judge dismissed the servants

Well what do you think Price asked Mahaffy anxiously when they were alone

Rubbish Take my word for it t

Solomon this blow is leveled at me I have been too forward ln my atshytempts to suppress tbe carnival of crime that Is raging through west Tennessee Youll observe that Miss Malroy disappeared at a moment when the public is disposed to think she has retained me as her legal adshyviser probably she wi l l be set at libshyerty when she agrees to drop the matshyter of Nortons murder As for the boy theyll use him to compel my sishylence and inaction The Judge took a long breath Yet there remains one point where the boy is concerned that completely baffles me If we knew just a little more of his antecedents it might cause me to make a startling and radical move

Mahaffy was clearly not impressed by the vague generalities ln which the judge was dealing

There you go Price as usual tryshying to convince yourself that you are the center of everything he Baid in a tone ot much exasperation Lets get down to business What does this man Hicks mean by hinting at suishycide You saw Miss Malroy yestershyday

You have put your finger on a point of some significance said the Judge She bore evidence of the shock and loss she had sustained aside from that she was Quite as she has always been

Well what do you want to see Hicks for What do you expect to learn from him

I dont like his insistence on the idea that Miss Malroy is mentally unshybalanced Its a question of some

Hicks Says Miss Malroys Been Acting Queer Since Charley Norton Was Shot

I l l see the overseermdashwhats his namemdashHicks Suppose you go for him said the judge addressing the sheriff

The sheriff was gone from the room only a few moments and returned with the information that Hicks was down at the bayou which was to be dragged

Why inquired the judge Hicks says Miss Malroys been act

Ing mighty queer ever since Charley Norton was shotmdashdistracted like He says he noticed it and that Tom Ware noticed i t

How does be explain the boys disshyappearance

He reckons she thro wed herself in and the boy tried to drag per out like he naturally would and got drawed In

Humph I l l trouble Mr Hicks to step here said the judge quietly

Theres Mr Carrlngton and a couple of strangers outside whove been asking about Misa Malroy and tlê boy eeems like the strangers knowed her and bim back fonder la NoHh Carolina 8aW the anerff aa he u rued away

I l l seo tnemM The s h t r i waat

delicacymdashthe law sir fully recogshynizes that It seems to me he is overshyanxious to account for her disappearshyance in a manner that can comproshymise no one

CHAPTER XXIII

The Judgo Finds Allies They were interrupted by the openshy

ing of the door and big Steve admitshyted Carrlngton and the two men of whom tbe sheriff bad spoken

A shocking condition of affairs Mr Carrlngton said tbe judge by way of greeting

Yes Bald Carrlngtonshortly You left these parts some time ago

I believe continued the judge The day before Norton was shot

I had started home for Kentucky 1 beard of his death when I reached Randolph on the second bluff ex plained Carrlngton from whose cheeks the weather-beaten bloom had faded He rested his hand on the edge of tho desk and turned to the men who had followed him into the room This is the gentleman you wish to see he said and stepped to one of the winshydows it overlooked t$e terraces j

where he had said gcod-by to Betty scarcely a week before

The two men had paused by the door They now advanced One waa gaunt and haggard his face disfigured by a great red scar the other was a shock-headed Individual who moved with a shambling gait Both carried rifles and both were dressed ln coarse) homespun

Morning sir said the man wren the scar Yancys my name and this gentleman lows hed ratber be known now as Mr Cavendish

The Judge started to his feet Bob Yancy he cried Yes sir thats me The Jucrge

passed nimbly around the desk and shook the Scratch HlUer warmly by the hand Wheres my nevvy sirmdash whats ail this about him and Miss Betty Yancys soft drawl was sudshydenly eager

Please God well recover him soon said the judge

By the window Carrlngton moved Impatiently No harm could come to the boy but Bettymdasha shudder went through him

Theyve stolen him Yancy spoke with conviction I reckon theyve started back to Noth Carolina with himmdashonly that dont explain whats come of Miss Betty does it and he dropped rather helplessly into a chair

Bob are Just getting off a sick bed^ Hes been powerful porely in conseshyquence of having his head laid open and then being throwed Into the Klk river where I fished him out exshyplained Cavendish who still continshyued to regard the Judge with unmixed astonishment first cocking his shaggy head on one side and then oh the other his bleached eyes narrowed to a slit Now and then he favored the austere Mahaffy with a fleeting glance He seemed intuitively to unshyderstand the comradeship of their degradation

Mr Cavendish fetched me here on his raft We tied up to the sho this morning It was there we met Mr CarrlngtonmdashId knowed him slightly back yonder in Noth Carolina conshytinued Yancy He said Id find Hanshynibal with you I was counting a heap on seeing my nevvy

Carrlngton no longer able to conshytrol himself swung about on his heel

Whats been done he asked with fierce repression Whats going to be done Dont you know that every second is precious

I am about to conclude my invesshytigations sir said the Judge with dignity

Carrlngton stepped to the door After all what was there to expect of these men Whatever their Interest it was plainly centered in the boy He passed out into the hall

As the door closed on him the Judge turned again to the Scratch Hlller

Mr Yancy Mr Mahaffy and I hold your nephewin the tenderest regard he has been our constant companion ever since you were lost to him In this crisis you may rely upon us we are committed to his recovery no matter what it involves The judges tone was one of unalterable resolushytion^

I reckon you-ail havo been mighty good and kind to him said Yancy huskily

We have endeavored to be Mr YancymdashindeecLI had formed the resoshylution legally to adopt him should you not come to claim him I should have given him my name and made him my heir Hl3 education has already begun under my supervision^ and the Judge fememoering the high use to which he had dedicated one of Pegshyloes trade labels fairly glowed with philanthropic fervor

Think of that murmured Yancy softly He was deeply moved So was Mr Cavendish who was gifted with a wealth of ready sympathy He thrust out a hardened hand to the judge

Shake he said Youre a heap better than you look A thin ripple of laughter escaped Mahaffy but the judge accepted Chills and Fevers proffered hand He understood that here was a simple genuine soul

Price Isnt it Important for us to know why Mr Yancy thinks the boy bas been taken back to North Caro Una said Mahaffy

Just what kin is Hannibal to you Mr Yancy asked the judge resumshying his seat Strictly speaking he aint none

That he come to live with me la all owing to Mr Crenshaw whos a good man when left to himself but hes got a wife so a body may say he never is leftto himself began Yancy and then briefly he told the story of the woman and the child much as he had told lt to Bladen at the Barony the day of General Quintards funeral

The judge his back to the light and his face in shadow rested hia left bow on tbe desk and with hie chia sunk In his palm followed the Scratci Hitters nariativ with the closest t$raquo tension 0

DREAMS PROTECT OUR SLEEP Reasonable Explanation of Êvents

W h i c h Have Been a Puzzle to the Minds of Students

Dreams seem a mere play of imagshyination without any valuemdashthe more as every serious student has recogshynised that i t is absurd to think that dreams havo any prophetic character But in recent times science has disshycovered the probable purpose of the dreams and has found in this case again that nature does not give to us anything which is superfluous

In the present view of science dreams fulfill the purpose of proshytecting our sleep and this end is reached by those apparently meaningless flights of tho imagishynation Most dreams start from some disturbance or excitement of our organism Something may press on us or touch us or we may hear a sound or we may have some digestive trouble or we may lie in an uncomfortable position and so on Any such disturbance would excite the mind and would easily lead to a breaking up of the sleep which is necshyessary for us in order to be fresh for the next days work

The dream provides the solution In creating a fantastic background for that disturbance by which the inner excitement becomes adapted to a whole situation in which it fits well our efforts to remove it becomes sidetracked and the sleep can go on without interruption We may have thrown off a blanket and feel cold Our dream brings us to a snowy winter landshyscape in the midst of the cold winter day where we begin to skate and all the coldness is then so natural and well adjusted to the whole illusory exshyperience that our mind moves on without destroying the sleepmdashFrom St Nicholas

Cleaning a Rusty Rifle It is an easy matter to clean a rusty

rifle barrel but when the rust has pitted the metal to any depth the acshycuracy of the rifle i3 destroyed When the rust is very thick saturate theinshyside of the barrel with coal oil and allow it to soak well in for an hour or more When the rust has softened somewhat wrap some tow around the ramfod and pour enough coal oil upshyon it to thoroughly moisten it and push in a rotary manner through the barrel and back a dozen times When the tow gets very dirty renew it and continuo the process until the coarser portion of the rust has been removed A round brush of stiff bristles is next fixed to the ram-rod moistened thorshyoughly with the oil and twisted into a barrel running it back and forth at least a dozen times thus loosening the dirt that has been more firmly attachshyed to it The first operation is now repeated except that the tow on the ramrod is left dry and the rubbing with this must be continued in all directions as long as it comes out foiled The use of wire brushes is objectionable for cleaning guns as the numerous steel points cut into the tube Careful cleaning of the metal parts after use and giving them a cott of petroleum or sweet oil when laid aside wil l keep a rifle free from rust and ready for use at all times

Why the Country is Deserted There are all sorts of reasons given

why we can no longer keep our young people in the country and most of the all sorts of reasons are good but there is one which is just beginning to be recognized which is most potent of all and yet most insidious In the teachshyers of the little children in the counshytry do we find the danger these teachshyers knowing nothing really of rural life instil the thought from the beshyginning Get an education so as to get away from this place into a big city where you can have a chance And now our slow-going government has at last recognized this danger and sends out this warning The tenshydency of the rural school to encourshyage emigration to the city is due to the fact that the course of study in most rural schools is merely a copy of that given to city school children without reference to the different enshyvironment and local needs of the country child As a result the aushythors declare that teachers everyshywhere with rare exceptions have idealised city life and unwittingly have been potent fictors in Inducing young men and wc en to leave the farm and move into the citymdashUnishyversalis Leader

INSECT DOING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO PEAR ORGHARDS IN EASTERN STATES

Productiveness of Many Trees in Fruit Growing Sections Has Been Greatly Reduced bybull JhriP8rjJ^L^ E ^ e c r

tive Control Is Spraying

(By P J PARROTT) For a number of years pear blosshy

soms in orchards in the state of New York and other parts of the eaBt have blighted resulting in more or less exshytensive losses in fruit yields

Careful studies during the past year have shown that the injury is caused by the pear thrips a new orchard pest which has attracted conshysiderable attention imrecent years in California because orbits destructive-ness to various deciduous fruits

The adult thrips which is largely responsible for the injuries to the trees is a small darkish brown winged insect measuring about one-twentieth of an inch in length It apshypears in destructive numbers when the buds are opening attacking the tenderest of the flower parts The eggs are mostly deposited beneath the epidermis of the blossom and fruit stems Hatching takes place within a few days and the larvae seek prefershyably the calyx cups undersides of calyces and the folds- or under surshyfaces of the tender_expanding leaves The larvae feed for -about two weeks and drop to the ground in which they form a protecting cell In this cell the insect completes its transformashytions and emerges from the ground in the spring as an adult The thrips is single brooded and the most active and destructive stages are coincident with the period that includes the life events of the swelling and opening of the buds and dropping of blossoms and calyces ~

Injuries by the thrips in the Hudson valley have apparently occurred over a period of five years During the past three years fruitgrowers genershyally have noticed blighting of blossom clusters of pear trees although the nature of the causal agent seems not to have been suspected According to

cultivation fertilizers pruning and spraying for other insectB and disshyeases should be carefully considered in order that the most favorable conshyditions for recovery to health and productiveness may be afforded - to the trees

The thrips is a difficult pest to com bat because of the nature and suddenshyness of its attacks Spraying is the most efficient method of control Tho period for effective spraying is during the time when the buds are breaking and until they are entirely opened at the tips The most promising spray ing mixtures are the nicotine prep arations in combination with kerosene emulsion or soap Two or three apshyplications on successive days during the past year largely prevented imshyportant Injuries to pear trees The physical features of the locations of the orchards such as the direction and elevation of the slopes of the Und and character of the soil havft a marked influence on the development of the buds and the time of blossomshying The time for effective spraying will therefore vary with individual orchards

REWARDS OFFERED IN FRUIT GROWING

Great Crops AraPossible When Conditions Are Created to

Produce Them

Adult Plaquoar T h r i p s

statements of fruitgrowers the most severe attack of the thrips occurred during 1910 when the pear crop in many orchards was much reduced Besides losses in yields the trees were seriously checked by injuries to leaf buds and leaf clusters and in some orchards the season was much adshyvanced before the trees presented norshymal conditions of growth The proshyductiveness of pear orchards during 1911 was greater than the preceding year but blighting of blossom clusters was general and orchards suffered losses in yields according to the severshyity of the attacks by the thrips

Severe attacks by the thrips are a serious drain on the vitality and proshyductiveness of the trees In their weakened state they are also more subject to injuries by adverse weather or environment and to attacks by various wood-boring insects The needs of the orchard with respect to

Fruit growing offers many reûrds in the way of great possibilities to those who get the most out of it The careful planter and the liberal feeder and culturist as a rule gets what he is working for

In all kinds of fruit culture gre^t crops are possible when the circumshystances are created to produce them A well-care4 for strawberry plantashytion says a writer in Green Frutt Grower often yields wonderful reshysults and the same can be said ot raspberries currants gooseberries etc and yet it is not best to engage in fruit culture with that as an incenshytive Figure on a fair crop and if you get a large one so much the betshyter I would not be understood to disshycourage aiming highmdashnot by any meansmdashsimply to caution tthe inexpeshyrienced against building on these exshyceptional yields

Do not plant too closely and givo what you plant close attention We know a man who may not be termed a model fruit grower yet this man makes tho most of what he has and is successful

Good varieties good plants suitable ground and proper care will produce tine fruit Economy is very essen tial to success and yet one mu^t not be penny wise and pound foolish There must be thorough work done and plants must not be crowded It takes some Lhought to know juampt how much work and money to bestow upon a crop to make the most possishyble profit from it

It is difficult for the inexperienced to realize the great value of experishyence in fruit growing After one has traveled the road he can see the value To those who are about to esshytablish themselves in this interesting industry I would say to go slow at first make small beginnings gain your knowledge as you go on study your location and soil so that you will know better than any one just what is possible to accomplish with it

EXCELLENT STORAGE FOR THE ROOT CROPS

VENTLATQR

Cross Section of An tartly Constructed Pit for Roots

E J Delwiche of the Wisconsin stashytion makes the following recommendshyations regarding the storage of roots for feeding purposes

The besfc place to store roots is in a root cellar near where they are to be fed Suoh a cellar may be a part of a barn basement or it may be built conveniently near to the stock bam In most places the root house can be built most economically of conshycrete Ordinarily cement is the only mashyterial that lias to be purchased The gravel and sand are usually available at no great distance on most farms While the temperature in a root house should never fall to the freezing point it slkmld be ajt a low point for best re-suits in keeping roots

When no cellar is available^ roots may be stored in pits For fall and early winter feeding they need not be covered tp any great depth TlJie roots are put in J conical pile about four feet in diameter on a bed of clean straw then covered with a layer of

tw6 1 inches of Seng sfcfaw Clean rye straw is preferred for this purpose The straw at tfce apex of the pile it

made to form a chimney five or six inches ln diameter for ventilation Dirt is thrown on the pile^to a depth of six Inches The roots are piled as high as possible so as to shed washyter When wanted for feeding the whole pit is taken into the barn at once For early winter feeding the layer of dirt should be thicker and In addition a covering of straw should be placed over the whole pile

The illustration shows a pit intend ed to remain over winter This proshyvides for two layers of straw and two of earth A ventilator made of four inch boards is placed at the apex When severe freezing weather sets in the ventilator is stuffed tightly with fine hay In suoh a ypit roots wil l keep without freezing even in the coldest winters If desired the piles may be made oblong instead of conical in shape retaining the gable form While pits dp very well so far as keeping the roots is concerned it must be understood that they are but make shifts at best A root house whictt is accessible at al l times is much more satisfactory and more economical -

EMULATES ROMEO gt TAKEN FOR BURGLAR

Sweetheart of Ribbon Salesman Explains to^JudgeJust How

It All Happened

New YorkmdashWhen Reginald Mui-hano was called to the bar in the Yorkville police court he had all he could do to hobble along on a cane He was slight and undersized and with a meekness of feature that made the magistrate look up with surprise when he read on the complaint Atshytempted burglary Close behind Mulhane stood a comely woman in the throes of a bad attack of tears She was supported by a buxom midshydle-aged woman with a purple-plumed hat who was dividing her time beshytween patting the tearful one sympashythetically on the shoulder and Bnifflng disdainfully at Policeman Buchmeller who had Reginald in charge

Im Rose Finnegan and Im tho second maid at Mrs Bates she said and this lady here is the cook Mrs Reilly This gentleman here he sells ribbons downtown and hes been my steady company for months He was good steady company but all he could do was to sit still and play with his hat There wasnt any romance at all to it judge He takes me to a play the other night and that gave me an idea I started to teach him how to be romantic I told him inshystead of coming to the basement door and ringing the bell just as though ho was bringing some groceries inshystead of-candy he ought to climb up on a balcony or do something like that

He did not want to do it He said that he was not up to those things I said he would have to do it or I would go out with the fireman around the corner

He said he guessed hed have to do it but I would have to pick out something easy I told him all hed have to do would be to climb up a ropo to my window and the cook and I would help him

When it was time for him to call cook and I dropped a clothesline to him and he started to climb up He said it hurt his hands but we told him to keep on trying and then he fell and hilrt his ankle and this policeshyman grabbed him

A l l tho lady said is straight Judge declared Reginald I did not want to do this stunt but I could not let that fireman get ahead of me

I guess I made a mistake said Buchmeller This guy didnt look like a burglar to me anyhow and beshysides I know that fireman and I dont like him either

Some people attribute it to partishyality upon the part of the editor others say it is because one is rich and the other is poor etc but the real solution is very simple In one case someone interested has been thoughtful enough to give the editor the details while in the other case he has chased all around to find out something a bout it and unable to obtain any particulars has to be content with a simple announcement and he is is not always able to secure even that much for certain
