A large frame house and barn, about
mile across the line into Pope Co. was
entirely consumed by fire last week, be-
sides two large stacks of hay. It was
owned by the mother of the young man
who has recently purchased the flour mill
at Cyrus. He discovered the fire while at
work about the mill and by the aid of his
bicycle got there before the occupants
were aware of the fire, so they were only
able to save few things from the house

What Farmers should Grow.

| r one grows potatoes and sells
them at forty cents bushel. the local
price at many towns this season. he
| must draw 125 bushels to market to
obtain $50. If he grows small fruits
for the market and realizes ten cents a
quart for his product he is getting
about 1920 bushel, or over 500 a
ton for what he sells, or about eight
times as much as the potatoes
brought him. Then there is eight
times the cost in wear and tear Of
wagon and horseflesh. as we'll as mus
cular strength expended by the pro-
Queer. We have all heard of the far
merS wife who took a basket of eggs
to the store on her arms and obtained
more money for it than her husband
did for two-horse load of hay. If it
is not true story it illustrates tho
point
Almost every day we see coming to
town small paper boxes not weighing
more than two or three pounds, which
contain flowers that are sold for quite
as much money as wagonload Of
some kinds of farm products will
bring. If farmers would pay a little
more attention to the production of
these items which are in demand at
high prices they would make more
money than they do.-Farmer's Guide.

Scarce had she done this. however,
before a frenzied shrek from Made
line made her venture forth again.
She heard strange voices-she heard
one, loud, stern, authoritative voice ex-
claim
Consider yourselves under arrest,
everyone of you. Attempt to move
and fret"
A horrible fascination drew her to
the top of the stairs again; and now
she saw that a crowd of constables-
ten or dozen at least-thronged the
hall.
A cry from Madeline made her look
at Edgar Hyde.
He was in the act of f1inging away a
small phial, which he had just raised
to his lips and drained to the dregs.
The next moment he sank, with
heavy thud, upon the tiled floor of the
hall.
Good God! he's poisoned himself"
exclaimed one of the policemen, while
Madeline's shrieks rang all through the
house.
Someone stopped over him ana
raised him, but the other policemen
cody secured their prisoners.
The handouts were put on Charles
Hyde almost at once.
Marjorie saw this with a bursting
heart, then a merciful insensibiIity
overwhelmed her-she fell fainting te
the floor.

A BIT OF BLUE ENAr1EL.


The question was-which?
! She asked it of herself with shudder-
ing dread.
Surely-oh, merciful heaven! surely
not Charles-not the man she had
loved so dearly-to whom her young
heart had chung with such warm, trust
ing faith.
She remembered how vehemently
Madeline had sought to prejudice her
mind against him. Could it be that
she had done it to keep her from fall
ing in love with her fathers murder
er?
There was agony in the thought
black, bitter agony.
She buried her head among the bed
clothes and shook with grief and fear.
Presently she reused herself to think
and plan.
| The clock struck one.
| She remembered then that it was St.
valentines Day-the anniversary Of
her fathers death.
How strange if on that very day she
should be fated to discover his muir
derer.
Half mechanically she went to the
chest of drawers, and, unlocking the
various receptacles, looked for the bit
of blue enamel.
1t was gone! The ivory box was
empty!
1t could scarcely be said she was
wi OF mi pH
her terrible suspicious, and they need
ed little confirmation.
Of course, those desperate criminals
would do away with the evidences of
their guilt if they could.
She, a poor unsuspecting girl, had
been easily duped by them.
But there was sharp sting of agony
in the thought that it was Charles who
had asked her where she kept the bit
of enamel.
She could not doubt that his was the
hand which had stolen it.
AS she sat on the edge of her bed in
an agony of grief, her hands clasped,
her pale lips moving in a convulsive
appeal to heaven for strength, she
heard sounds beiow-voices raised in
fierce anger, and mingled with wo-
mans sobs.
Flinging dark dressing-gown round
her trembling form. she opened her
chamber door very softly and listened. |
The voices came from the hall be-
low
She advanced a step or two, slowly
slowly until she reached the top of the |
staircase, from where she could get a
view of the whole group.
In the centre stood the elder Hyde.
Marjorie now saw his face for the
irst time without the mask of good
lumor which had served so we'll to
disguise his villainy.
1t was almost demoniacal with rage,
md he was storming and cursing in
he most horrible fashion
1t was Charles at whom his wrath
eemed chiefly directed. and who stood !,
ilent, with folded arms and down. !
'ent head, without answering a word.
At the foot of the staircase stood
Edgar, his face livid, his dark eyes !
aming, and beside him, clad only in r
er night-dress. was Madeline, her r
ong black hair streaming down to her q
taist, her whole frame trembling with S
onvulsive sobs as she wound her arms /
ound Edgar's neck, and seemed by L
er gestures, to be imploring some t
hing which he roughly and sternly h
sfused. n

Corporal Hayes Deserted to Rebels
and Shot by Former Comrades.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. July 27.-The Star
to-day says: The tragic scene which at
tended the death of Corporal Leonard F.
Hayes, Americas only traitor in the Phil
ippines, was witnessed by Sergeant George
A Lamarsh, of Company H, Twentieth
Kansas Volunteers, now in this city. Ser
geant Lamarsh went TO the Philippines with
the Second Oregon Regiment fourteen
months ago. Corporal Hayes. he says, be-
came enamored of Filipino beauty and, de-
serting his comrades, was placed in charge
Of a Filipino battery with. the rank of lieu
tenant He met his death almost in the
first engagement in which he fought against
his country. Speaking of this battle, Ser
geant Lamarsh said: I'VE had charged the
Filipinos. driving them back and killing and
wounding many. Among the wounded left
on the field we found Hayes. He was rec
ognized by several of the boys. One of the
soldiers of the Second Oregon drove his
bayonet through the body of the wounded
traitor and lifted him above his head and
held him there while the soldiers shot him.
The body was thrown into trench and
buried with several dead Filipinos. We
would have treated him worse IL We had
known how"
Hayes was a corporal in Company I, First
Colorado Volunteers.
