"See here retorted Guy, warmly,
''Miss Vlandingham is lady, and not
the kind of a girl to try to put up
Job, as you call it, with any one. am
just as loyal to Concord as you are,
every whit. Heaven knows | ought to
be, for if we lose the county seat /
shall be a financial wreck and will
have to hunt around for somebody who
wants a bookkeeper. Have a little rea-
son, Pettibone," Guy implored, casting
a hasty glance in the direction of the
ladies and noting that Miss Vlanding-
ham was standing up in the buggy and
looking around perplexedly. eff don't
go out pretty soon they'll think I'm
not coming. Stay here and keep quiet
and I'll give you block of lots"
"You can't bribe me-" answered Pet
tibone; "and you can't go out there
either"
The steely flash shot into Guys eyes
and the lines frightened at the corners
of his mouth.
"You refuse to let me pass" he de-
manded, as Pettibone stepped in front
of him.
IT certainly do. Everybody in Con-
cord wanted you locked up, because,
as they said, you were running the
chances of the town with your gad-
ding about. But says: No. He's a
young gentleman says I, and pair
of blue eyes have fascination for
him. / says. TIL take him in tow and
watch him. / says, and see to it that
he doesn't communicate with the en-
envy, with that particular enemy, l
says, any more Now, that's what
l done, Herbert, and here you are,
first Jump out of the box, trying to
get me into trouble. You don't go
out there, tell you fiat"
"And / tell you that l am going"
answered Guy, yehemently.
He made a spring to the left with
the intention of darting past the
sheriff; but the latter was fully as
quick and threw himself sideways,
catching Guys arm and clinging to
him like a leech. Painting, the two
stood for a second and gazed at each
other.
II don't wish to hurt you, Petit
BONE" said Guy, in terse tone, "but
/ assure you l am going out to talk
with Miss Vlandingham. I'll do moth
ing REASONABLE, promise you that.
Won't you take the word of gentle
man?"
I'm not taking anybody's word
xx,oc IN
reioinder. Here you are and here
you'll stay"
Then look out for yourself"
With these words Guy closed with
the sheriff. The young man had
splendid muscular development,
which his appearance in measure
belied. He was likewise the possessor
of a fair amount of fistic science and
wrestling skill which his quiet de-
meanor and modest bearing were far
from suggesting. A knowledge of all
this was quickly made manifest to
Pettibone and the realization that he
had me more than his match was
about the last tangible thought he
had for several minutes. In a twink
ling he was neatly thrown, and, in
falling, his head came in contact with
a tree root, so that he was stunned
and his hold on Guy relaxed. After
contracting strongly, his limbs were
flung out with jerk and he closed
his eyes and lay motionless.
Guy was alarmed at first, but when
he had pressed the tips of his fingers

rent prices of the Iowa crop of 1902

The total value of the crop is placed
at $2l5, 722.33339. or S60,00O00O less than
the value of the crop of 1901.
The greatest falling off is in corn.
The yield this year was 296,950,230
bushels valued at SS3000,0o0 against
227,0O0OOO bushels valued at $1lS,000,-
600 last year, an increase in yield this
year of 6o.G00O00 bushels and a de-
crease in value of $35,000.000. Last
year the corn crop was all marketable,
but this year only l3T,G00,000 bushels,
or Al per cent, is marketable. The

late International Law.
Washington, Dec. 15.-Minister
Bowen has confirmed the press re-
ports to the effect that the guns of the
allied fleet which bombarded Puerto
Cabello We're directed entirely at the
Notifications and not at the town.
Regretable as it was, this statement
relieves the affair of the first suspicion
that it constituted violation of inter-
national law. in the fact that twenty
four hours notice was not served of
the bombardment. The requirement
as to notice applies to unfortified or
fortified towns where the fire must be
directed upon the inhabitants, and this
was not the case at Puerto Cabello, so
that while the officials here regret that
the firing took place they have as yet
no cause to protest. But it is now
probable that the United States will
break its attitude of inactivity in the
event that an attempt is made to en-
force the peaceful blockade' toward
American ships.

Substance of the Latest Testimony Heard
by the Presidents Anthracite
Commission.


Scranton, Pa, Dec. 15.-The min
ers called witnesses Saturday before
the anthracite coal strike commission
to testify to the conditions existing at
the collieries of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company. These
were the first persons to appear
against the company of which George
Il. Baer is the head. Eight witnesses
were called, and the principal griev-
ance presented was that some men
who went OH strike We're Disseminated
against.
Among the witnesses heard was
President Mitchell again. His testi-
mony related principally to the man
ner in which he computed the aver
ages he had previously given, in which
| he showed that bituminous men re-
ceived from 40 to SO per cent. more
wages than the anthracite miners.
Counsel for the Delaware and Hudson

at the averages. The attempt to find

out from him the statement that the
