lated to conference which held In December
last, at the instance of Commissioner Bingham.
with a number OF gentlemen who are interested in
the welfare OF our Jewish citizens, who acted as
individuals and not in representative capacity.
Commissioner Bingham informed that he had
some doubt TO the proper Interpretation to be
given TO Section 264 of the Penal Code which pro-
vIded that 1T is a sufficient defence to a prosecu-
tlon for work labor the first day of the week

feet touched the first landing. An in
slant later he thrust the door open and
blundered blind1y into the pitch dark
ness of his study.
For thought he stood bewildered
and dismayed by the absence of light.
He had thought, somehow, to find the
gas jets haring. The atmosphere was
hot and foul with the odor of kero-
sene, the blackness filed with strange
sounds and mysterious moving shapes.
A gruntlng gasp came to his ears, and
then the silence and the night alike
were split by report, accompanied by
a streak of orange flame shooting
ceilingward from the middle of the
room.
Its light, transient as it was, gave
him some inkling of the situation. I'm
thinkingly he flung himself forward,
ready to grapple with that which first
should meet his hands. Something
soft and yielding brushed against his
shoulder, and subconsciously, In the
autO-hypnosis of his excitement, he
was aware of a mans voice cursing
and woman's cry of triumph trailing
off into wall of pain.
On the instant he found himself at
grips with the marauder. For a mo-
ment both swayed, dazed by the shock
of collision. Then Maitland got a foot
ing on the carpet and put forth his
strength; the other gave way, slipped,
and went to his knees. Maitlands
hands found his throat, fingers sinking
deep into flesh as he bore the fellow
backward.
A match f1ared noiselessly and the
gas blazed overhead. A cry of aston

recognized his own features duplicated
in the face of the man whose throat he
was slowly and relentlessly construct
ing. Anistyl He had not thought of
him or connected him with the sounds
that had thrilled and alarmed him over
the telephone wire coming out of the
void and blackness of night Indeed,
he had hardly thought any coherent
thing about the matter. The ring of
the girls mol" had startled him, and
he had somehow thought, vaguely,
thatO'Hagan had surprised her in the
fiat. But more than that
He glanced swiftly aside at TIE girl
standing still beneath the chandelier,
the match in one hand burning to-
ward her finger tips, in the other An
isty's revolver. Their eyes met, and
in hers the light of gladness leaped
and fell like a living flame, then died,
to be replaced by \ look of entreaty
and prayer SO moving that his heart
in its unselfish chivalry went out to
her.
Who or what she was, howsoever
damning the evidence against her, he
would believe against belief, shield her
to the end at whatever hazard to him
self, whatever cost to his fortunes
Love is unreasoning and unreasonable
even when unrecognized.
His senses seemed to vibrate with
redoubled activity, to become abnor-
mally acute. For the first time he was
conscious of the imperative clamor of
the electric bell in O'Hagan's Quartsrs.

The Business Of Farming.

We are just awakening to the fact
that the value of farm land Is rap
idly increasing in America Ever since
the discovery of the continent there
have been vast tracts of unoccupied
land subject to free settlement until
now We have at last filled up the
continent and all the land worth till
ing is under ownership We are doing
much by irrigation to reclaim the arid
lards, but these are rapidly filled up
as soon as they are made tillable-
Relieved of the pressure of vacant
lands, there can be no doubt that the
value of farms will continue to rise
and the value of farm products win
rise with them. The present depres-
sion in the commercial and Industrial
world has caused no drop in the price
of farm products, no particular de-
crease in the cost of living; indeed, 1t
has increased. If measured hy wages.
