horizon OF a man in love. With Orms-
by at the nodus of his point OF view,
David Kent made no secret of his open
rivalry of the millionaire, declaring
his intention boldly and taking no
shame therefor. But when he faced
about toward Elinor he found himself
growing holly jealous for her good
faith: careful and fearful lest she
should say or do something not strict

spirit of her obligations as Ormsby's
flancee.
For this cause he had been postpon-
Ing the promised visit, and thereby
postponing the taking of the final step
In the campaign Of intimidation. The
unexplained telephone call decided
him, however He would go and see
Elinor and have the ordeal over with.
But as preliminary he dined that
evening with Ormsby at the Camelot
club, and over the coffee had it out
with him.

ruptly. "Have you any objection?"
The millionaire gave him the
shrewdest Of overlooks, ending with
a deep-rumbling laugh.
Kent, you are the queerest lot I
have ever discovered, and that is say

all the properties, should object?"
"Your right is unchallenged."
Kent admitted.

THE WORLDS RICH MEN.
Some Facts Of Interest About One Of
Their Number Living in
| Chicago.

Marshall Field, of Chicago, who is
now prominent in the public eye by
reason of his accomplishing payment
OF taxes on 100000 Chicago property,
is a close competitor with three Others
for rank as third richest man in the
United States. BY common consent.

Rockefeller heads the list, with Andrew
Carnegie second. The three next are
H. H. Rogers, William Rockefeller and
Marshall Field, with J. P. Morgan.
Jacob H. Schiff and J. J. Hill trailing
not very far behind. Mr.. Fields for
tune probably approximates 1925, O00,-
600. Its possessor has been uniformly
fortunate since Potter Palmer, the vet
eran dry goods king of Chicago, sold
mis- establishment at cost and upon
their own terms to his lieutenants,
Marshall Field and L. z. Letter. That
was just after the civil war. and Chi
cago was seething. The young mer-
chants made money hand over fist, and
invested it as fast as prudence would
permit. Among other things they put
a few hundred thousand dollars into
Colorado gold mine, and within three
years took out $S.000,000 BY and by
the partners disagreed, and on a buy
or sell proposition. Mr.. Field took
over the dry goods establishment.
Letter had poor regard for his part
ner's ability, and predicted his speedy
fail; re. When Letter died two years
ago he was worth $30.0O0,O00, after
having put up $10,500,000 only three
years before that in settlement of the
debts OF his, son Joe in trying, to corner
the wheat market. Field pursued the
even tenor of his way and made five
and eight dollars for every one dollar
amassed by the partner who quit him
in anger.
It was to Marshall Field that the
late George NJ. Pullman went with his
scheme for the creation of the Pullman:
Palace Car. company, and it was
Fields money that made the enterprise
possible. Field and is chr0n1es made
great sums out of the Pullman car,
and are still among heavy sharehold,
ers in the big corporation, which has
been mine almost from the begin
ming. His money aided largely in the
development of many OF the railroad
systems centering in Chicago, and his
stock and bond holdings in them are
still immense. ,.z...'ss

the impression that we are engaged,
haven't you?''
"Laboring under the-why, good
heavens. man! it's in everybody's

Curious, isn't it, how such things

long suits. "How do you suppose they
get started?"
Il don't suppose anything about it..
so far as we two are concerned; I
have your own word for it. You said
you were the man in possession"
Ormsby laughed again. +
"You are something of buffer
yourself, David. Did you let my little
stagger scare you out?'
David Kent pushed his chair back
from the table and nailed Ormsby with
a look that would have made young
er man betray himself.
DO you mean to tell me that there
Is no engagement between you and
Miss Brentwood"
Just that" Ormsby put all the
nonchalance he could muster into the
laconic reply, but he was anticipating
the sequent demand which came like
a shot out of gun.
"And there never has been?"
Ornsby grinned.
when you are digging a we'll and
have found your stream of water, it's
folly to go deeper. David. Can't you
let good enough alone?"
Kent turned it over in his mind,

Ormsby stretched the truth a little;
partly for Elinor's sake; more, per-
haps, for Kent's.
"You have done nothing that an
honorable rival-and incidentally a
good friend of mine-might not do.
Therefore you are not responsible"

out Of the running, you understand.

for controlling this pest This body
recommended better system of farm
ing, the, use of guano and other fertil-
iers to promote rapid growth and an
early ripening of the grain, and the
burning of the stubble, all of which
are as advisable to-day as they were

that tends to add vigor to the young
growing grain will constitute preven-
tive measure. Burning the stubble,
where this is practicable, is, of course,
most eh1cacious, but over the larger
portion of the territory ravaged by
this pest it is customary to seed with
grass after wheat, and under this con-
dition burning over the stubble field 10
impossible. Such fields should be
raked over with an ordinary hay rake,
and the loosened stubble removed and
burned before the adults have emerged
in the spring. If, however, The grain
Ia cut low; at harvest, and the straw
passed through the stables as bedding
for stock during the winter, thus be-
coming saturated by liquids and more
or less thoroughly composted, the
treatment would seem sufficient to de-
stroy the 1sosoma larvae, so that few
if any, would develop adults the fol-
lowing spring. In case of bedding
for horses, it seems quite probable
that if any larvae survived at all the
heat from the decomposing manure
would develop them prematurely.
