flee Closed.
Mr.. F. B. Rickaby Goes
With Diamond Co.
Receiver For the Crude
Rubber Co.
Chas. R, Flint interviewed on
the Situation.

The crude rubber brokerage office of
Renters ,& Co., in Akron, has been
closed. The office was opened in the
Akron Savings Bank building last
spring. Mr.. j. b. Rickaby, the local
manager for Reimers & Co., has taken
position with the Diamond Rubber
Co., as salesman of reclaimed rubber.
He will travel great deal, but his
headquarters will be in Akron. Mr..
Rckaby is thoroughly experienced
and able rubber man and it was his
resignation from that concern that
caused the closing of Reimers & Co..
Office here.

Receiver For Crude Rubber Co.

A receiver was appointed for the
Crude Rubber Co., in New York Satur-
day, and regarding this acton, the fol.
lowing statement was issued:
"The Crude Rubber Co. Is in the
hands of receiver in order to avoid
the obtaining of preferences by at
tachments or otherwise, and i'm order
that all interests may be equally pro-
tected. The International Crude Rub
ber Co. succeeds to the business of the
Crude Rubber Co. and has taken over
the rubber of the Crude Rubber Co.
for the purpose of avoiding any con-
| Hict in selling. This secures to the
banks who have advanced on rubber
of the old Crude Company the high
est price for the rubber on which they
have loaned and preserves the largest
equity for the creditors of the Crude
Rubber Co."
The officers of the Crude Rubber Co.
declined TO make any further state
mcnt as to the present status of the
company, the nature Of the liabilities
or its future prospects.
The application for receiver for the
Crude Rubber Co. was made to Judge
Lacombe of the United States Circuit
Court by Attorney William Nelson
Cromwell and the judge appointed
William W. Ladd, jr.
Mr.. Cromwell said Saturday night
Upon application of Charles Il. Flint

larry proceedings We're filed before
Judge Lacombe of the United States
Circuit Court of this district. This
application was considered by Judge
Lacombc in chambers early in the day
ana confirmed by him later, when AIR.
l.add was appointed receiver for this
district also. The bond OF the receiver
IL Virginia and New York was fixed
at $4,000 In each jurisdiction.
This action was taken In the inter-
est of creditors and stockholders OF
the Crude Rubber Co. to prevent pref
erence by attachment and dismember-
ment of the property and assets. The
Dill of complaint sets forth the date OF

SO that the company has conducted a

According to Mr. Cromwell, the
Crude Rubber Co. has now n stock of
rubber and bills receivable In excess
of S3,000,000, nearly all of which is
pledged to bankers. Mr.. Cromwell said
also that the company's direct llabi

CHAPTER XVI.

Of all life's mystery the mystery of
pain is the most profound and baf-
fling. Men on the ba ttlefield have been
wounded most horribly and have yet
thought, at the first of it, that they
were injured only slightly, if at all.
1t was so with Guy. When the bullet
entered his side his suffering was no
more than would have come from
pin prick and great was his surprise
to feel the quick weakness, the sud-
den sapping Of his stength, The dizzy
whirl of everything about him. AS he
plunged headlong to the ground the
darkness closed in and left not the
faintest ray of reason.
This status was not of long duration
and for some time before he opened his
eyes he was conscious of gentle for
ward motion as though he was being
carried. Voices were borne to him,
too-the sturdy voices of men with an
other, soft and musical in spite of its
undertone of indigna ton and reproof.
The softer voice thrilled him to his
hearts core. He did not mind the pain
SO much, although it was steady and
intense. The realization that Miss
Betty was near was as balm to him,
body and soul. Looking out from be-
tween his partly opened lids he discey-
cred that he was being carried on a
blanket by six men. Others of the COM
pany rode and led the horses of those
who We're acting as bearers. A little
to the left rode Capt. Blue with Miss
Betty, mounted on fine spirited horse,
at his side.
"What right had you,' Miss Betty
was saying, ''to ride out of Concord
with these armed men? What is your
excuse for doing that, Capt. Blue?"
1--WE feared reprisais on account of
the courthouse" answered the captain,
stiffly, for to be taken to task by Miss
Betty was sorely against the grain
I'VE were scouting, that's all. Just
scouting"
"The moment heard that You had
trooped out along the Concord road
l galloped after YOU" went on Miss
Betty. "Oh, l wish, wish, had
come up with you in time to prevent
this terrible meeting!" She looked
toward Guy, poignant regret show
ing in every line of her face. He
would not have been hurt if / had.
l have felt all along that something
terrible would happen before we Sc
cured our rights in this county seat
fight. l have tried my best to keep
you from violence and you, Capt. Blue,
have disregarded my expressed wish,
my strongest command. Who was
it fred the shot that wounded Mr..
Herbert?'
''The other side fred the first
shot," replied the captain, evasively.

to the bed he reached down and
pressed Guys hand. I'm sorry, con-
foundedly sorry, this has happened,
Herbert. hs went on. Our people
were getting carried away but l guess
this little incident will bring them up
with round turn. Too bad, though,
that you had to be the victim"
Vlandingham addressed himself to
the man who had entered the room
with him. "Dr. Larkin, this is Mr..
Herbert. Please tell us what you
think of his wound"
If one might judge from the way he
went about his work, DR.. Larkin knew
his business thoroughly.
You're worth dozen dead men, Mr..
Herbert" smiled the doctor, turning
away to open his medicine case and
draw out some lint and bandages and
polished probe. you'll have to lie
still for a few days and take life quiet
ly for some time after you get up and
around" He laid the lint and ban
dages to one side and drew chair
close to the bedside. "I'm going to
hurt you now" he resumed, leaning

utmost to conciliate the Concord peo-
pie, and you are to help me. father.
l have plan .ch we will discuss on
our way 'bacl:.
Tie squire cast half-humorous
glance at Guy and bowed humbly.
"sOf course, Betty, of course" said
he, and they started ost.
Before she had reached the door
Miss BETTY halted and faced Guy once
more.
You will hear from us again, Mr..
Herbert" she observed Barney will
stay here to help care for you"
"You are very considerate," said
Guy, "but / can manage to struggle
along without Barney"
Nevertheless he stays!" declared
the squire. Good by, my boy, for the
present"
They left then and Miss Betty did
not give the young man parting
word,@a backward glance or even
smile. Guy thought of this gloomily,
for naturally he could not know how
absorbed Miss Betty had become in
the plan she had suddenly evolved and
which she was going to talk over with
her father. This plan had to do with
| the policy of reconciliation and with
| the release OF Col. keever. The lat
ter, as Miss Betty was planning the
matter, should be freed and presented
with an olive branch for delivery to
the people of Concord.
GUY heard the hoofbeats of the
horses die suddenly away in the dis
lance and he imagined that even so
was Miss Betty passing out of his life.
He would lose her and he would lose
| the county seat. Bofore his vision
| passed host of migratory structures,
| stores and dwellings,, mounted upon
broad-tired wheels and drawn by in
Vulnerable teams of horses. Col.
Keever was on the roof of the Blizzard
building with spyglass laying the
courses for the long caravan that
bobbed behind. Pettibone and little
Alec drove their own domicile with
the high stopper between the shafts
and, as this home dritted past, the
sheriff winked derisively. One by one
the buildings rolled by, in dreamy re-
view, and the spot where Concord had
been was desolated as by some COM
prehensive cyclone. Guy saw himself,
forlorn and utterly alone. wandering
among his vacant lots, bewailing the
loss of the county seat, and of the
girl he loved, and then
And then merciful oblivion blotted
out the vision and he slept dreamless-
~ and the slumber did him more good
than all the medicines in the world.

READ YOUR POLICY.

This man had built big barn and
prudently had insured it in his local
farmers insurance company. He failed
however. to read the conditions of his
policy over very closely. He violated
these conditions by fitting up feed
cooker in the barn. Lightning hit the
barn, and it burned up, and the COM
pany refused to pay because of the
feed cooker business. When you buy
policy Of insurance, take five min.
utes and carefully read over all the
provisos whereby you may be prevent.
ed from recovering your insurance in
case of loss. 1t is always better to
find these things out before the fire
than afterward,

perhaps be found in the fact that
through much of the territory ranged
over by the buffalo there were salt and
alkaline lakes furnishing enough OF
the desired element to satisfy their
needs. The salt licks Of the tinbered
regions Of the country were all well
known to the early settlers as favorite
resorts of the deer and elk. Then it is
more than probable that where an ami
NAL has unrestricted range of vast
territory furnishing great variety of
food there would be less need of salt
than to one confined to a pasture of
one or two sorts of heritage.

BIRD STUDY CLUBS.

One of the most commendable and
useful organizations which we have
come across is that of a bird study
club. local association made up of
all those, both old and young, who
love the birds. The spring and sum-
mer weekly meetings of the club be-
come rambles over field and forest bird
hunting with a fieldglass and camera,
while the winter meetings review the
summers work and include readings
from the many choice works on bird
life. There should be more of such as
sociatioDs.

LIGHTNING RODS

The old query of whether it pays to
put lightning rods on the farmhouse
and barn is up again, as it always is
at this season of the year. Theoretical
ly building properly rodded and the
rods given a perfect earth connection
should be immune from damage by
lightning, but the work is so often
poorly done and the earth connection
allowed to become so imperfect that
such rods become a source of danger
rather than protection. OF the two we
would prefer reliable lightning insur-
ance rather than the ordinary system
of rodding.

rHREE TIMES FAkEn.

We know of one man, pretty SUBJ
stantial sort of farmer, who has been
caught three different times by fake
schemes-one a grocery deal, one q
cloth peddler's fake and the other a
lightning rod experience. Ordinarily,
if man would turn such propositions
over to his wife, he would not get
caught, but in this case the wife got
him into the deal in groceries and the
cloth business, and we mistrust that
this couple have quite time review
ing their experiences when there is nc
company in the house.

THE MAN WHO LAUGHS.

We know of one man who had the
enterprise to invest in three registered
Shorthorn heifers five years ago. They
cost him 500 apiece. He took good
care of them, and he today has herd
of fine Shorthorns, which are not only
pleasing to look at, but are very prof
liable to him. The man on the mex,
farm, who kept scrub cattle and
laughed at our friend for fooling his
money away, as he termed the buying
of these heifers, still has his herd of
scrubs, but is not laughing at his
neighbor any more.

ESSENTIALS IN DA1RY1NG.

There are two fundamental essen
tails in any sort Of dairy business.
which apply with just as much force
to the small one COW dairy as to the
large ones, and these are cleanliness
in milking and the immediate cooling
of the milk SO as to extract the animal
heat from it. With either one Of these
factors in dairying missing. it matters
not how well all the other details may
be looked after, there will be failure to
secure the best results.

DON'T KNOW WHEN TO LET GO.

We all like slayer when there's
sense in hanging on. but there is rea-
son in all things, for here in almost
every community there are a few stay
ers who, having straw, hay and pota-
toes to sell. would not let go at the al
most famine prices which these COM
modities brought the past winter and
spring, and just as new potatoes and
new hay are becoming abundant and
cheap are seeking buyers in vain for
their old stock. Some men never know
when to let go.
