THE MAN IN
THE RED CAR.
How a Strangers Logic Turned a
Runaway Girl Back Home.
By HOWARD FIELDING.

copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso-
ciatiOn.
Miss Leigh was running away from
home. Let the fact suffice for the
moment; the young lady's reasons will
appear in due time.
1t was about 10 of the evening, a
crisp, clear night, with bright moon
in the Sky. The shadows of bare
branches lay black and still; they look
ed rigid and brittle, as if one could
pick them up and break them. The
door of the old coach house, recently
transformed for the accommodation of
automobiles, was open, and there was
light within, but Miss Leigh had
been on the watch and had seen Bates,

side of the street, was hit by some

quickly entered the hotel, broke the
breech of the gun and blew the
smoke out of the barrel. Miss Ida
Harmon was arrested and placed
under bond of $3.50 to await the &C.
ton of the. grand jury. Chief
Wooten had a narrow escape from
death and believes he was deliberate
ly shot at with evil intent. Miss Har-
mon claims the gun went off ac-
cidentally.
1t will be remembered that Miss
Harmon's father was killed in PTS

WHILE MEN SLEEP
California Forests are Dam
aged by Porcupines.

San Francisco, April Report
from Bishop, Inyo county, Califor-
mia, indicate that porcupines are Sc
riously damaging the lodgepole pine
forests Of the eastern slope of the
Sierras. Practically the entire area
of the Inyo National Forest has been
affected to some extent. In many
localities the damaged trees aggre-
gate as high as Is per cent. Of the
total stand. While these areas are
not large. it is evident that if some
thing is not done to curb the attack,
much of the timber in that section
will be killed.
The porcupine feeds to large ex-
tent during the winter months upon
the inner bark Of the pine. To se-
cure this he travels about upon the
snow, and completely girdles the
trees just above the snow line. OF
course, this results in the death of
the tree. The damage would not be
so serious but for the fact that the
porcupine seldom makes two meals
off the same tree, but prefers to Wis
it several trees in the course of a
night. Since its habits are nocturn-
al, hunting this animal is very diff
cult The attention of the Forest
Service has been called to the raw
ages of these animals, ard plans for
their determination are under con.
sideration.

New Story by Ralph Conner

Ralph Connor's new novel, it is
announced, will appear serially in
The Circle Magazine. The story is
called The Commander" and it
will be one of his tales of the North
west, where the scenes Of his most
successful books have been laid.
Ralph Uonnor is the man who is,
perhaps, in most demand among
American readers. More than a
million and half copies Of his books
have been sold. They have clean
illness and wholesomeness about them
that is a real relief from the morbid
and sensational literature that is of
fered in quantities to the public
nowadays.
Mr.. Conner, who is in private life
the Rev. Chas w. Gordon, is not a
regular contributor to the maya
zines, and the Circle has effected a
real scoop" in securing his latest
novel. 1t begins in an early number.

Porto Rico Prospecting.

Ten years of American rule has
done more for Porto Rico than four
centuries of Spanish administration,
according to figures compiled on the
eve of the tenth anniversary of the
ceding of the island to the United
States.
Ten years ago the exports from
Porto Rico to the United States were
valued at $2,414,356. In the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1908, they
were S25, 1871 ,261, or over ten times
that amount. The new figures show
a probable further increase for 1909.
In 1908, less than SO, 100000 worth of
sugar was exported, today the total
is over S14,OO0,OO0. In coffee, which
used to be the leading staple, the in
crease is also marked, although SUI
gar now holds the first place. In
every case the new prosperity. which
has made these figures possible, is
credited to the insular government
and the sound basis upon which af-
fairs in the island have for the first
time been put.

STAND By POOL.
Says Paper in the Stemming
District.

To the Cleaners way of thinking
there are but two ways to lock at the
pool proposition The farmer must
either join the pool or be at the
mercy of the trust. The facts are
that for three or four years before
the pool was formed the trust took
the tobacco for practically nothing.
Sinae the pool was formed the price
hal been doubled. The tobacco rails
er ought to be able TO figure out for
himself which has been and will be
best for him. The management of
the pool may not have been perfect
and it is unreasonable to expect that
everyone will be pleased no matter
how well it may be managed. But a
management that enables the tobac-
co raiser to get twice as much
through it as he did through the
trust is not to be sneezed at, we are
oTkse to tell you.

Loyalists Win In Tennessee,

The Tennessee Supreme Court has
decided the famous Cumberland
Presbyterian church case, which has
been pending for two years, in ia
vor of loyalists. The case was ap-
pealed from Fayetteville.
There were ninety-one pages in
the decision, which was delivered by
Justice Neil. The court holds that
the steps sought to be taken by a
part of the Cumberland Prespyteri-
an church in uniting with the Pres
byterian church U. S. A., were not
effective. 1t is also held that the
Cumberland church still exists, in
that the unionists had allied them
selves with another and different
church of different organized doc.
trines. The Cumberlands are given
the church property, and the union
lists are, adjudged not to have a right
or title to it. Their bill, in which
they sued to recover church proper
ty, is dismissed with COSTS.
The same question has been decid-
c / in favor of the unionists in some
other states.

The shone a country more fair
Than beautiful, peerless Kentucky;
There's life in kiss Of her rarifed air,
Kentucky prolific Kentucky.
Her sons are valiant and noble and bright,
Her beautiful daughters just about right
And her babies God bless them are clear out of sight
That crop never fails in Kentucky.
Our homes are aight with halo of love,
Kentucky contented Kentucky
We bask in the smiles of the heavens above,
No clouds darken Kentucky.
Our grain waves its pillows of gold in the sun,
The fruits of our orchards equaled by none
And our pumpkins some of Them weigh almost ton
We challenge the world in Kentucky.
Our girls are sweet models of maidenly grace
In this modern Eden, Kentucky;
They are perfect in figure and lovely in face
That's just what they in Kentucky.
Their smiles are bewtching and winning and sweet,
Their dresses stylish, yet modest and neat
Trilby would envy their cute little feet
In beautiful peerless Kentucky
When the burden of life called to lay down,
hope may die in Kentucky;
| never could ask a glorious
Than one of the sod Of Kentucky
And when the last trump wakes the land and the sea-
And the tombs of earth set their prisoners free,
You may all 90 aoft if you choose but for me-
think I'll just stay in Kentucky.
