Prosecuted Through the Ma Us.

Logansport. Ind.-Dr. NJ. B. Stewart,
4 popular physician, has discovered
the identity of some young women who
have been subjecting him to a refined
system of persecution for several
months. Shortly after Stewart located
here he became active in church work.
He was also popular socially, and
soon attracted large number Of pa
tients. His troubles began with his
prosperity and popularity. Early in
January he received an anonymous
communication, assailing his charac
ter in unmeasured terms. This mis-
sive was only the first of many, and it
was not long until the physician be-
gan TO receive scurriIous epistles on
every delivery Of mail. Many Of his
friends received similar letters. all at
lacking Dr.. Stewart. AS it became
evident that the authors Of the letters
were endeavoring to injure him sOci-
ally and financially. Stewart began
an investigation. His efforts met with
no result other than to increase the
vindictiveneSS of his enemies. AS
last resort he enlisted the aid of the
pos.oftice authorities, and systematic
plan was devised to discover the iden-
tity of the persons responsible for the
outrage. Every mailbox in the city
was watched and it was discovered
who mailed the letters The result
was revelation to the doctor, as he
had never implicated the people upon
whom the authorities had fixed the
guilt. Their standing is such that Mr..
Stewarl declines to prosecute, although
he may have no choice in the matter,
since he had been in communication
with the authorities at Cincinnati, who
detailed an inspector in the case. Ii
the inspector puts in an appearance
and insists on pushing the case to
definite conclusion, Logansport Will
witness the degradation of some of its
best known citizens Dr. Stewart
ascribes his persecution to jealousy of
his standing as a physician and citizen.

\ Bitter Family Controversy.

Sullivan, lnd-An interesting case is
on trial in the Sullivan Circuit Court.
The defendant is Edgar b. Stone, who
is charged with attempting to kill his
fatherin-iaw, Byrne Riggs, whose
family is wealthy and influential.
Stone married a daughter of Mr..
Riggs. but he and his wife soon sepa-
rated. According to evidence SO far
introduced, Stone and his wife met in
her fathers barn-lOt. and after talk,
ii is alleged, he drew a revolver and
threatened to Kill her. Mr.. Riggs was
attracted TO the scene, and Stone fired
two shots at him, and afterward two at
his own wife, but no harm resulted.
Shortly after this affair, Stone and
RIGGS met, and the latter took a shot
al Stone. using a shotgun, without eff
feet In addition to this prosecution.
there is also suit in which Stone
claims $4,000 damages from his
father-in-law.

DR.. Fa1coner's
Temptation,
A SHORT STORY.

1t occurred in the most unromantic
roundings. There is probably no po-
sition i'm the world more fatal to rO-
nance, or more likely to crush all SUI
perhuous sentiment out of a mans
nature, than that Of a parish doctor.
The scenes OF squalid misery he is COM
PEELED every day to witness are more
likely to blunt and exhaust the sense
of pity in the average man than to
develop it by exercise, especially when
q little experience has shown how
closely they are associated with vice
and deceit, and how certain is the man
who gives way to his first impulsive
instinct of charity TO awake sooner or
later to the knowledge that he has
been cheated and laughed at ten times
by speciOus rOgues for once that he
has been of any real help to the un-
fortunate. And he is apt to become
cynical in consequence.
Richard Falconer had started in life
with more rather than less of the
usual romance and impractical senti-
ment of youth. The last thing he had
thought of had been the hard realities
OF life. Ard, as natural consequence
those hard realities were now assert
ing themse yes and forcing themselves
upon his attention more and more ev-
cry day in the hard struggle to estab-
lish himself in practice on the slender
basis of parish appointment in big
provincial town where he vas as yet
little known and had host of wealth

CHAPTER XII.

Two months later on g stormy Gay
in late October, Magnus Halcrow and
Elspeth Troll are standing together
within sight Of the Rowan Crag. IL
is probably the last time they shall do
so, for Elspeth leaves Orkney with
Lady Westray tomorrow. The West
ray children have been proved the
heirs of her late husbands property,
and Crag Castle will be shut up and
uninhabited during their minority.
The horror of that terrible day
comes back again to Elspeth, and she
shudders involuntarily. Then Magnus
says slowly:
'You shiver, Miss Troll Forgive me
for abiding to that terrible time. but
i must do so Just this once. l have no
wish to speak against the dead, out L
wish to disabuse your mind OF the idea
that l loved Lilith Stuart. She fas-
cinated. enthralled me. as she had done
other men before-that was all. When
/ saw her as she washer beautilui
exterior merely covering for warped
and self-engrossed soul-my heart
turned from her with repulsion.
'Hush!" says Elspeth gently. Ike
member she is dead. We must deal
kindly with he now. She is in Gods
hands.
Magnus took the womanly little hand
and held it for minute. He does not
tell her-he does not think she knows
what he himself Is sure of-that Lii
18th Stuart had met her death in trying
to compass that of another.
Tell HE tie truth. Elspeth,' he says
suddenly He has not called her Els
peth for years. and the girls face be-
comes suddenly flooded with crimson.
"Do you think l loved herr"
81 thought answered Elspeth
slowly, tracing lines with an umbrella
on the damp path, that you were very
near doing so. Dr.. HalcrOw."
"And il | should tell you now" said
DR.. Halcrow, very calmly, though some
strange emotion thrOhs beneath the
outward calm, that l have learned
lately what | have never realized be-
fOre-that it is some one else who had
the innermost place in my heart during
that foolish enthralment-wh would
you say, Elspeth? And if 1 asked you
not to go away tomorrow. or, if you do
to come back soon to the dear old
island. and to q heart and home wait
ing for you, what would you say, Els
peth?"
The hand in his gives one quick,
sharp culver He ca feel its pulse
bounding wildly.
"Why do you ask these questions
DR.. Halcrow? Is it out of pity?"
"Pity?" he repeats. Nay, Elspeth;
pity would never make me ask a woman
to be my wife. 1t is because | love you
dear. with all my heart. How could
I help i'll, who have known you Sc
we'll, so closely, so intimately these
last months have seen your quiet
brave herOiSm, your WOmanly gentle
ness, your self-sacrifce, your sweet
charity and forgiveness? 1t was you
who showed me what love really
means. You Will come, you will love
me, dear, will you nOt?'
He holds cut his arms. and with
out a word Elspeth goes into them.
She has obtained the happiness she
had never dared dream would be hers
And so that spot, which had become the
scene Of the darkest tragedy in the
lives of both, becomes also TO both the
dearest spot on earth.

Gus for me to violate justice because I

c~rosspieces should be bolted on with
two bolts through each board.
Some old drag or harrow teeth are
put through the front board four
inches apart, the holes being bored
so the teeth will slant back, which
prevents clogging. An old moving
machine seat is fastened to the center
OF the middle plank. The drag can be
drawn by 4 tongue fastened similar to
n wagon, or by a short chain in such a
manner that the draft is from the
center. This implement works as well
on any kind of ground when first
plowed, and will fit it in good shape
for the harrow OF cultivatOr. 1t will

1t is advisable, however, to grind a few
of the end knives occasionally OF that

other grinding that there may be, will
tend to keep the surface of the stone

When once a person has acquired the

that do not reach across the face of
the stone a sidewise motion, so as to
wear the stone off evenly. Indeed, it

Isolation is not always immunity

IL is sometimes noticeable that the
farmer who has grown old has lost

and fences to fall to the ground. Il
is better from every standpoint to
avoid getting into a condition like
that, even if it does require an effort.

THE ART OF GRINDING.
! How to Put an Edge ON Moving Ma
chine Knives and Other Bevel-
Edged Tools,

There is propriety in all things, and
the grinding of moving machine
knives is not to be excepted. Most
farmers, however, hold the knives out
at arms length and grind them on the
top of the stone, similar to the way
that the scythe is ground, thus not
only making the process a slow and Ia
borious one, but producing a very poor
edge indeed when compared with that
which is obtainable by the method
shown herewith in the illustration.
In order to achieve the purpose at
issue one should have a good stone

It is preferable to have it mounted
upon common friction wheel bearings.
Why? Because these raise the center

grinding the moving machine knife
when the back of the knife section il
held in position against this rest.

Military Shoemnkers.

A curious experiment was tried il
Berlin to discover how much work the
military shoemaker could do in cas-
of war. \ kind of general rehearsal
was held, to which 1,2OO shoemakers
were hidden, and they were installed
IN the first artillery regiments. The
trial lasted for Il month, without a mo-

yided into two bodies, one for day work
aud the other for night work. They
had in attendance 40 workmen ready
10 repair the machines in case of any

A GOOD Ian DRAG.
It's a Very Effective Implement and
One That Any Farmer Can Make
in a Few Hours.

For some kinds of work this drag i.
better than a roller. Any farmer can
make one in n few hours. The |
use is made of three boards, seven feet
long and eight inches wide. Place the
plank eight inches apart, take two
pieces of two by four, long enough
to bolt across each end 10 hold
the plank in place. Fit on the TWO by
tours or crosspieces by first saving
into the upper and front edge OF each
plank and split off a triangular shaped
piece, so that when the crosspieces
are bolted on the front edge of the
bottom of each plank will be about
