dorer, The difference between Hoopes
and the late Mr.. Arden is that when
Hoopes came home after being
reported dead, and found that his wife
had married another man, he did not
quietly go away, but promptly won her
pack to him, and it is the second hus-
band that is now doing the lonesome
act.
This in effect is the testimony given
This morning by Nicholas Radovich be-

Court, in suit to have the marriage
OF Radovich and Lulu Hopes Radoyich

she was widow. They have one son

The Judge Was Maverick,

country.

am going to tell you in a moment, Just
as soon as 1 can talk coherently. You
will forgive me, won't you, Mr.. Ware,
but there is no one else to whom l can
go. and yet I seem to do nothing but
take up your time with my trials and
worriments."
I led her out into the path again,
thinking she would grow calmer as
we walked. and she said no more until
we were nearing the house, when
she resumed in plaintive tone,
broken occasionally by half-suppress-
ed sob:
ITS about Annie. Mr.. Ware, and
did not tell you at first, for thought
l could see her myself and find out
what it all meant. Ever since this
morning she has been walking up and
down her room crying and sobbing,
and this afternoon 1 heard her say
such dreadful things that l almost
feared for her reason"
What did she say?" 1 asked gently.
"Oh, 1 hardly know" she went on,
but she seemed to be calling upon
heaven to forgive her for some dread
full sin that she had committed, and
she was SO wrapped up in her anguish
that even my knocks at the door made
no impression upon her Then she
would grow more calm and only sob
and moan for a time, but soon those
awful words would come again and it
seemed as If she would go mad. She
has always been subject to occasional
attacks of melancholy and when
would try to learn the cause of her
trouble she would put it off as mere
fit of the blues.
you don't mind my telling you all
this, do you, Mr.. Ware, for you have

state tonight that / am almost ready
to start at my own shadow"
She came down the steps and stood
by my side, while the light from the
open doorway streamed out and
touched her face SO softly that it
poised in the surrounding darkness
like some faint, angelic picture ideal
lied by a masters hand.
Il came out to try and find Annie"
she went on, "she does not answer
when l rap at her door and thought
she might be here. My! what was
that?" she gasped. coming closer to
me and grasping my arm.
1t was only an owl far away in the
timberland and, when l told her, she
laughed quietly but almost hysterical-
ly, and still clung to my side while we
listened to the weird, unearthly sound
that was waited again and again to
our ears from out of the blackness Of
the opposite river bank.
She shivered slightly and I said:
You are cold, Miss Carney. LIE me
get you wrap, and then, won't you
take little walk? There's a chill in
the air tonight and the exercise will
do you good"
She made no reply, but looked at
me gratefully, as If 1 had done her
some great service. There was a warm
woolen golf cape just inside the door,
and, snatching it up, l fastened back
and threw 1t over her shoulders,
clasping it myself at her throat while
she drew her hands under it and
nestled comfortably in it's generous
folds.
We turned and walked slowly down
the path under the stars, away from
the house and with our backs to the
road along which knew Miss Weston
would pass in another minute.
After few moments silence,
broken only by the drowsy splashing
of the river and the cheerful, friend
ly hum Of the insect bands that make
half the charm of an October night,
Miss Carney said. with a contented
little shrug:
The Glenwood post., 1907-07-13

"Oh how delightfully."- warm and
comfortable this cloak is, Mr.. Ware
You always seem to know exactly what
and l really believe it was nothing but
the cold after all. We mustn't go far,
for / ought to be looking for Annie

tennis court, can't we?"
Whenever you WISH" I said, with
an effort, for l was becoming intoxi-
Gated with the glory of her presence

thing she wants. l suppose she is
asleep and did not hear me tap, for I've
looked everywhere for her and was
just going back to her room when

Mr.. Ware! It's no longer joke, is
it?"
We had stopped at little rustic ar
Dor by the side of the walk and my
hand rested on the trellis in front of
Miss Carney. She did not speak, and
thought she was laughing softly to
herself when suddenly she leaned for

Miss Carney gave a glad little cry
and started away toward the house,
but turned in an instant and extended
her hand, saying:

City Once Over Great Cavern.

Minneapolis, Minn.-"The city is

laid on the eternal rock is the state

to inquiries as to progress in the work
of harnessing the cascades, rapids and
rivers discovered five years ago, but
kept secret by the officials.
Thousands OF tons of concrete have
been poured into the caves, rivers have
been diverted into regular channels
end concrete pillars built under all
buildings where the underground
streams had worn away the founda-
tons.
The discovery that the city was be-
ing undermined was made accidentally
five years ago. Fearing the effect #
IN announcement was made, the Off
cials kept it secret and went to work
to avert a great disaster. Funds were
diverted from other public works ana
invested in concrete and stone. The
work has gone on quietly and steadily
uhtll tHe SITUATION now Is well IN hanl
and there is no further danger.
No one can tell how many thousands
of years the erosion by the stream has
been going on, but there is one vast
cavern and connected with it, many
smaller caves. A thorough exploration
will be made and the catacombs map
ped. 1t is also expected that thorough
investigation will throw light on many
mysterious murders and disappear
ances in the last twenty years.
There is one immense lake under the
city, ten feet deep, but its dimensions
nave yet to be determined. There is
also spring water enough to supply the
entire city.
Under the city twenty or thirty fee.
deep is stratum of water-bearing
limestone twenty or thirty feet thick.
Under this is a stratum of soft sanl-
stone. The cracks in the limestone ara
perpendicular as well as horizontal,

way through the mass of rock on down

tum, and now there is but little seep-

MEN MUST GET
BACK TO THE
FARM
Special Correspondence to The Prsss


WASHINGTON, D. c., May To-
The movement of the population
from the country to the cities has
reached its limit, and, in the opin-
ion of Prof. Wilett M. Hays, as
sistant secretary of agriculture,
there will be, from now on, new
interest in country life, and new
ways discovered for making it
more delightful.
"Why do | think the movement
has reached its limit" said Prof.
Hays. Because the economic limit
has been reached. At least we are
very close to it. There must be
enough people on the farms to feed
the people in the cities, and the
rate of farm depopulation and city
population could not continue at the
same rate it has been going for the
last so years and have enough peo-
pie left to raise the food.
at Is my estimate that quarter
of the population must be agricul-
tural. That is the minimum. |
think the proportion will be great
er, but that many will have to re-
main and run the farms, in order
that there may be food.
st is easier to drift from the
country to the city than to go back
from the city to the country 1t is
not that the country life is any less
pleasan when one is accustomed to
1t, but 1t is more radical change
and more difficult for the city per-
son; there are more things to learn,
more to become accustomed to.
And there are other forces
which have been centralizing the
population, which will cease to do
so. The location Of great new man
ufacturing industries at the big cen
tiers and terminals of transportation
has tended to drain the small
town and the rural districts. The
control OF railroad rates will tend
to give the small town better
show, and the force will be less
centripetal and more centrifugal

ring from her finger, she threw it
at him, and turning, mounted the

Efforts to effect a reconciliation
were futile. Some time later Haines

Unable to secure a position in a

Glad that his work was over, one
night Haines briskly walked from

YELLOW DOG

"Mar-rk!"
"Nettie,"
Simultaneous were the ejacula-
tions. Lovers who had long been
estranged were the following mo-
ment in each others arms.
Nettie Milborn and Mark Haines
met and loved. Lies sweet dream
was blossoming into brides roses
when a yellow dog appeared and
dreams of nuptial bliss were shat
tered. Two hearts were broken.
The couple had met at football
game the year before. Haines, cap
tain and fullback of the Logan
team. had just made As yard run
for a touchdown, when Miss Mil
born, dashing and pretty, standing
on the side lines, wearing the colors
of Grafton, saw him.
Tall, well built, with frank, hand
some face, he caused the heart of
more than one girl that day to go
pit-i-pat. Miss Milborn, favorably
impressed, inquired his name, and
during the rest of the game her
eyes followed his movements. She
even found herself cheering and
clapping her hands whenever he
made a brilliant play.
Her actions amazed her friends;
they censured her because of dis
loyalty, and called her a traitor.
She did not mind. The only daugh-
ter of Judge d. p. MilbOrn, petted
and fostered, she had always had
her own way; always did what she
wanted, despite the opinion of
others; and she now deemed that
she had the right to cheer for this

which Miss Milborn and her party
stood. On numbering trot, Haines
approached. Picking up the ball,
his eyes met those of Miss Milborn
for the first time. For a moment
they gazed steadfastly at each
other and then faint Pushes of
crimson surged in their cheeks.
Haines' eyes dropped and he turned
away
That evening a ball was given in
honor of the victorious Logan
team. Miss Milborn requested an
Introduction to her football knight
and gridiron hero. They danced,
found the company of each other
agreeable, and danced some more.
Haines called at her home, the
finest and most palatial in Grafton,
was invited to come again and did,
Logan is only miles from Graf
ton. and he called often.
Haines proposed, was accepted,
and then went on 2 month camp
ing trip.
Returning, tanned by the sun and
feeling in fine spirit, he set out to
call upon his sweetheart. Proceed
ing up the graveled walk of the
handsome grounds, he was assailed
by yellow cur that snapped spite
fully at his heels. Watching a ia
vorably opportunity he caught the
dog on the toe of his shoe and sent
it high into the air. AS the yelp-
ing canine struck the ground
Haines heard a swish of skirts, and
the next moment beheld his sweet
