to get into deep water he las been

From our talk gather she has won
derful store OF up-to-date business no
tions. and | am convinced from what
she lays out that the judges affairs
are hopeless. and. Jim, when that old
man goes down it will be a smash that
will shake our state in more ways than
one.
up TO now the girl has stood up to
the blow like man and has been able
TO steady the Judge until he presents
an exterior that holds down suspicion
as to his real financial condition, al
though she says Reinhart and his Bal
timore lawyer, from the ruthless way
they put on the screws TO shake out
his holdings in the Air Line, must
have line on II that the Judge is
overheard. The old gentleman can
keep things going for six months
longer without ieopardizing any OF the
remaining trust funds, OF which he has
some two millions. and while his wife,
who Is an invalid knows the Judge Is
in some trouble, she does not suspect
his real position, His daughter says
that when the blow came, that day OF
the panic when Reinhart jammed the
stock out of sight and scuttled her
fathers bankers and partners In the
road, the Wilson's of Baltimore, she
had a frightful struggle to keep her
father from going insane. she told
me that for three days and nights she
kept him locked in their rooms at their
hotel in Baltimore. to prevent him
from hunting Reinhart and his lawyer
Rettybone and killing them both, but
that at last she got him calmed down
and together they have been planning.
Jim, II was tough TO sit there and
listen to the schemes TO recoup that
this old gentleman and this girl. for
she is only 21, have tried to hatch up.
The tears actually rolled down my
checks as l listened; l couldn't help
IL; you couldn't either, jim. But at
last out OF all the plans considered,
they found only one that had tint OF
hope in il, and the serious mention of
even that one, Jim, in any but pres.
ent circumstances, would make you
think we were dealing with lunatics.

HERE'S A WEIRD TALE.
Queer Brand Of Liquor Must Be Used

Walter Stephenson, while out train.

and shifted his gaze temporarily to
other scenes. Soon his attention was
attracted TO a whlrr.ng noise, and
looking upward, he saw that the speck
which he had a few moments before
discovered N the Snstt.n sNy had
approached almost directly over him.
and that the object was in reality a
huge balloon, but Of q pattern and
appearance he had never In his life

big, flowing spring, knelt by It in

says that while this was going on he

to their feet and he supposed their de-

If he might be permitted to inquire
who they were. and what their mis-

was lifted by one of the company and
the benign face of a lady showed from

BOOK PLATES.
Their Invention Came Half a Century
After the Printing Press.

It was within half a century from
the invention of printing that book
plates were introduced as identifying
marks to indicate the ownership Of
the volume.
Germany, the fatherland OF printing
from movable type and of wood cut
ting for making impressions in ink ON
paper, is likewise the home land OF
the book plate.
The earliest dated wood cut of ac-
cepted authenticity is the well known
"St. Christopher Of 1923" which was
discovered in the Carthusian monas-
terry of Buxheim in Suabia.

Libraries were kept intact and passed
from generation TO generation, boar

The first book plate in France is
dated 1874; in Sweden, 1876; Swit.er,
land, 1907; and Italy, 1923. The esrli,
est English book plate is found In
folio volume once the property of Car
dinal Wolsey and afterward belonging
to his royal master.
The earliest mention of the book
plate In English literature is by
Pepys, July 16, 1888. The first known
