I ran at top speed toward the knoll,

johnson had leaped into the stream. He
had some little distance to swim, how
ever, and, though once the drowning
woman's dress showed above the water,
she had sunk again before he could
reach her. He Owed, but missed her.
Dorothy, with rare presence of mind,
had lost no time in bringing the boat
about, and when johnson rose to the
surface the little craft was close to
hand. Climbing into it, he stood for
few seconds searching the water for
glimpse Of the unfortunate woman, and
then dived again. When I reached the
rocks above him, he reappeared for the
second time, and saw that he had
been successful, at least in finding the
body. He was powerful swimmer,
and almost as soon as could Chamber

burden to the base of the lowest of

LOST NEARLY A CENTURY.
Watch Found That Is Thought to
Have Belonged to First Cow
ernor of the State.

Jonathan Jennings, the first gov
ernor of the state of Indiana, came
west soon after Indiana territory was
organized, and settled in Clark coun-
ty. He brought with him from Penn
sylvania one law book and bull's-eye
silver watch. In course of his canvass
for delegate to congress in 1909, his
house was entered, and among other
things his silver watch was stolen. He
always believed that the watch was
stolen by q man who kept drinking
house in Charlestown, but he had no
proof, and the liquor vendor was not
prosecuted, says an indianapolis ex-
change.
The house passed to other owners,
and one day lately the owner began
the work of tearing it away to make
room for another. Between the first
log and the stone foundation Hoff-
man found an old bull's-eye silver
watch, which is believed to be the
one Gov. Jennings lost in 1909. The
timepiece has every appearance of be-
ing very old, outside of the fact that
it is of an ancient pattern, but it was
in SO admirable state of preserva-
ton that when a key was fitted to it
and it was wound up it started off
as though it had just been stopped.
The house in which the watch was
found was occupied as barroom UNI
til about 20 years ago, when some
members of temperance society bat
tered down the doors and broke out
the windows and the saloon keeper
was driven away. Since then it has
not been occupied. An effort will be
made to secure the watch and place
it in the Geological museum.

PIPING SUGAR JUICES
Piping sirup Is Transported by Pipe
Line the Same as OIL
and Gas Are,

Pipe lines for gas, water, steam and
oil long ago demonstrated some of
the attractive possibilities OF the
pipeline method Of fluid transporta-
ton and made it familiar to all, with
evidences of it Astounding in every
day life. And yet, says Casters Mag
azine, one is impressed with tinge
of novelty in a recently circulated
newspaper waif which tells of o g.
mile pipe line for conveying sugar
house sirup. AT Springfield, Utah, U.
S. A., it appears, there is plant for
slicing sugar beets and extracting the
sugar-laden juice by diffusion, and
this, with its impurities, is then
"piped" to beet sugar factory at
Lehi, there to be treated and refined
by the usual processes. Inquiring fur
ther, however, it is learned that the
same system of piping sugar juices
has been in vogue in Germany for a
number of years, and in the latter
country, too, pipe lines have been used
in potteries to carry much thinned
clay paste from one department to an.
othar.

The large aud increasing circulation
OF The Iowa Homestead in this county
is matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and it's Spec.
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $1.9O for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A
county paper, q farm paper, poultry
paper, a farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers Institute, all for 81. 80.
Come in and order them.

your Imagination is more active than

said Sturgis; "let US proceed systemat-

outline of the marks on the blotter,
and you will see, in the first place, that
the message would just fit snugly on
this sheet. Next, you will probably
admit that the first line of marks on the
blotter probably contain date; the
second, name; the third, an address;

AS he spoke, Sturgis handed Dunlap
the sheet of paper upon which he had
traced plan of the Knickerbocker
bank.
"From this point on" he continued,

the diagram. The dotted lines repre-
sent Arbogast's footprints; the con-
tinuous lines show Chatham's trail"
"How can you distinguish between
the two?" inquired Dunlap.
"There is no difficulty about that"
replied Sturgis. "rhe differences are
very marked. I know Arbogast's foot
because have seen it; and know
that the other one is Chatham's be-
cause you recognized the man from

describe him SO accurately when you
have never seen him?"

Sturgis, smiling; you must let me

to tell it connectedly"

edly. Hold on, though" he ex-
claimed; you speak of two sets of
trails; but what is this third set of

Dunlap was still nervous and impa-

skepticism had vanished from his face,
as he took the proffered armchair and
watched Sturgis patiently piece to-
gether the tiny fragments of paper he
had so carefully gathered. When this
work was accomplished, the reporter
went to the typewriter and wrote few
lines on sheet of paper. He next pro-
ceeded to examine under the micro
scope the minute fragments and parti-
cles which he had collected in his
search.
When he had finished this operation,
he leaned back in his chair and looked
up into space for what seemed to Dun

Then at last he glanced at the banker,
who could hardly contain his growing
