"Then he went back to the yellow

quickly Mademoiselle tried to call for
help, but the man had seized her by
the throat. Her hand had sought and
grasped the revolver which she had
been keeping in the drawer Of her
night table, since she had come to fear
the threats of her pursuer. The MUIR
derer was about to strike her on the
head with the mutton bone, a terrible
weapon in the hands of a Larsan or
Ballmeyer, but she fired in time, and
the shot wounded the hand that held

the recess during the trial / asked him
why he hadn't used the cane evidence.
He told me he had never mad any in
tention of doing so: that our discov-

had much embarrassed him. If Won
will remember, he told US then that
the cane had been given him in Lon

cane if he had no intention of manu-

cane was useful to enable him to close

the president.
"That, monsieur, i do not know"

The president, turning to NJ. Darzac,
endeavored to induce him to tell what
he knew.

us how you employed your time during
the attempts on the life Of Mile Stan
gerson?"
Il cannot tell you anything, mon

The president turned to Rouletabille

1--WE must assume, NJ. President, that
M. Robert Darzac's absences are close

secret and that NJ. Darzac feels him
self in honor bound to remain silent
1t may be that Larsan, who since his
three attempts has had everything in
training to cast suspicion on NJ. Oar
FAC, had fixed on just those occasions
for a meeting with NJ. Darzac at a
spot most compromising. Larsan is
cunning enough to have done that"

"There came in the professional de-

an unraveler of mysteries, by annihi-

a. similar trick had often enabled him

thing.

THREAT excitement prevatle d
Ia when Rouletabille had finished.
M The courtroom became agitat,
III ed with the murmurings or
suppressed applause. Maitre Henri
Robert called for an adjournment Of
the trial and was supported in his mo-
ton by the public prosecutor himself.
The case was adjourned. The next
day M. Robert Darzac was released on
bail. while Daddy Jacques received
the immediate benefit of "a no cause
for action" Search was everywhere
made for Frederic Larsan, but in vain.
M. Darzac finally escaped the awful
calamity which at one time had threat
ened him. After visit to Mile. Stan
gerson he was led to hope that she
might by careful nursing one day re-
cover her reason.

Back to the Farm.

mall the depression OF the last two
years, farm products have remained
high and even now with hard times
at their height wheat and other
grains are advancing TO dizzy fig
ures. This makes the "back-to-the.
farm" idea all the more logical. The
report OF the state board oiequaliza-
ton shows that there is an actual
decrease in the number OF acres un.
der cultivation In Missouri. Mis-.
souri's growth has long been confin-
ed TO the cities and this means
suffering and failure TO thousands
who go into the big towns with an
idea that money can be made easy.
A dozen years ago farming was
about as poor business as one could
engage In, but that condition has
changed. The farmer Is not mill
ionaire, 1t is true, but he stands
about as much chance OF becoming
one as the average city man who is
working for a salary or in q small
business. Prices of the farm will
never again reach their low level OF
years ago and the man who rushes
