Sngrily with his fist, he exclaimed:

Judge Brewster looked up at his
client with surprise. The Judge never
lost his temper. Even In the most
acrimonious wrangles in the court
room he was always the suave, pol
ished gentleman. There was a shade
of reproach in his tom as he replied:
Come. come. dom lose your tenn
per! I'll do what I can, but there is
nothing to be dom in the way you
suggest. The most I can do is to re-
main loyal to you, although-to be
quite candid confess it goes AGAINST

Jeffries. ex%plosively. I'm right! I'm
right! You know 1t, but you won't
admit it."
The lawyer shrugged his shoulders
and turned to his desk again. Lacon-
ically, he said:
well. I won't argue the matter
with you. You refuse to be advised
by me and"
h banker looked up impatiently.
What is your advice?"
The lawyer. without looking up
from his papers, said quietly:
You know what my feelings in the
matter are"
And o know what mine are!"
exclaimed the banker, hotly. q" re-

historical sympathy with criminals.
l will not be stamped with the same
hall mark as the man who takes the
life of his fellow being-though the
man be my own son. l will not set
the seal Of approval on crime by de-
Tending it."
The lawyer bowed and said calmly:
Then, sir, o must expect ex-
actly what is happening. This girl,
whatever she may be, is devoted to
your son. She is his wife. She'll go
to any extreme to help him-even to
selling her name for money to pay
for his Defense"
The banker threw up his hands with
Impotence.
Its a matter of principle with me.
Her devotion is not the question"
With a hooking laugh he went on:
"Sentimentality doesn't appeal to me.

"It's 10 Use Talking About Her Any
More"
The whole thing is distasteful and
hideous to me. My instructions to you
are to prevent her using the family
name on the stage. to buy her of ON
her own terms, to get rid of her at
any price,"
Except the price she asks" inter
posed the lawyer. dryly. Shaking his
head, he went on:
You'll find that a wife's devotion is
a very strong motive power, Jeffries.
1t will move irresistibly forward in
spite of all the barriers you and I can
erect to stay its progress. That may
sound like a platitude. but it's a fact
nevertheless"
Alicia, who had been listening with
varied emotions to the conversation.
now interrupted timidly:
Perhaps Judge Brewster is right,
dear. After all. the girl is working
! to save your son. Public opinion may
think it unnatural"
The banker turned on his wife

confessed murderer and therefore no
son of mine. I've done with him long
ago. 1 cannot be moved by maudlin
sentimentality. Please let that be

said, coldly:

The lawyer shook his head.

Quickly he added: "Of course. you
don't doubt my loyalty to you?"
Mr.. Jeffries shook his head.

The lawyer laughed as he said:
Fright or wrong. o know-my
country-that is, my client-''t It's OF
thee" Turning to Alicia, he added,
laughingly: That's the painful part
of a lawyers profession, Mrs. Jeffries
The clients weakness is the lawyers
strength. When men hate each other
and rob each other we lawyers don't
pacify them. We dare not. because
that is our profession. We enconr
age them. We pit them against each
other for profit. II we didn't they'd
go to some lawyer who would"
Alicia gave a feeble smile.
Yes" she replied: I'm afraid we
all love to be advised to do what We
want to do"
Mr.. Jeffries made an impatient ges
ture of dissent. Scofingly he re
marked:
THAT may apply to the great gen
crafty of people, but not to me-"
Judge Brewster looked skeptical
but made no further comment. Tit

This sudden summons to Judge
Brewster's private ONCE was SO unex

days she had haunted the premises
sitting in the outer ONCE for hours n

and she had about abandoned hope
when, all at once, a clerk approached
her, and addressing her more politely
than usual, said that the judge would
see her in a few minutes.
Her heart gave a great throb. AL

stammered a faint thanks and braced
herself for the interview on which SO

sible to effect a cure, without avail" writes
John H.. Zirkle of Philippi, W. Va. "He
saw Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-

is one bottle cured him and he has not suf.

Future of Arid West.

We're to speak what is in my heart

l believe Of truth that this region
which is just now coming into it's own
is destined to be the last and best

farming can be done here better even
than in the humid region, but the
work must be understood and care

BROOM CORN HARVEST TIME
In Moot Western aectlone It Docs Not
Interfere With Work on Other
Field Crops.

In most eections broom corn har.
| vest comes at time when 1t does not
conflict with work on other field crops.
1t comes after oat and wheat har-
vest and before corn is ripe. In order
| to secure brush of the desired quality
1t should be harvested just as the
plants are coming into full bloom,
when the fiber Of the brush is of fresh
green color. If the crop is allowed
to remain on the stalk for longer
period than this and moist weather
occurs, then the heads which remain
inclosed within the leaf sheath will
have a tendency to turn red, writes
! A. K Lindsey, president of the Ameri-
can Warehouse Company, in Farmers
Star and Live Stock. Over-ripeness
and exposure to the hot sun will dis
color the straw. Sunbleached or red
stained brush is of less market value
than the fresh green fiber.
AS this variety grows from four to
six feet in height and the head is
upper leaf, it is found more conve-
nient to pull the heads. If the field
does not mature evenly it should be
pulled two or three times, each time
| only pulling the matured heads. After
the crop is all harvested and thor
oughly cured it is usually seeded and
baled at the same time.
Where there is liable to be much
rain or heavy dews at harvest time
it is essential to have sheds for cur
| ing and where this condition exists
the brush is pulled and taken directly
! to the sheds, where it is seeded then
| spread out in thin layers on suitable
shelves for curing.
Standard broom corn usually con
tains some crooked brush and this
should always be handled and baled
! separately from the straight.
To secure the highest prices the
| market demands a brush of fresh
green color. smooth, round fiber, full
| tip, ranging from 10 to "a inches in
| length. ....
| The selection of good seed from de-
| sirable seed heads will assist in bring
| ing about a decided improvement. In
selecting the seed heads special at
tention should be given to the quality
or character of the straw. Individual
plants which have large center stem
or stalk running nearly full length
of the straw should be discarded.
Large, coarse or kinky straw is also
Objectionable. Only the best and most
| perfect heads should be selected for
planting the seed patch the next year.
Since the broom corn should be har-
vested before the seed natures, every
grower should set aside small plat
for the production of his seed.
Considerable loss in price to the
grower is too often caused by not
properly threshing or removing the
seed from his broom corn and also
from poor baling. Both of these things
are wrong and cause trouble for the
buyer as well as the manufacturer.
Broom corn that is we'll cleaned and
free from seed and put up in a good,
solid, square bale will always sell
quicker and bring better prices than it
will if poorly handled.
The appearance of a well handled
crop always merits the approval of
the buyers and makes that growers
crop always in demand.

Paris may suffer, but it cannot be
permanently discouraged. The eve of
Lent found the gay French capital
overwhelmed by foods. and the usual
Mardi Gras festivities were cut out.
But that was several weeks ago, and
meanwhile the waters of the Seine
have subsidized. and Paris is itself
again. So the city has plunged into
the observances of Mi-Careme, or mid.
Lent. with more than the usual zest.
Evidently the Paris Idea is that it is
better to meet misfortune with q
merry heart than with responding
spirit.

lime in another receptacle, and strain
the milk of lime thus obtained into
the copper sulphate solution. Lastly

Ground for Onions.

Once a plot for onions is selected
it should be set apart from year to
year for that purpose, with successive
expectations of greater yield. This.
takes into consideration appropriate
annual fertilization. Unlike other,
crops, rotation is not important, unless
it be to eradicate some persistent foul
weed slowly gaining a foothold. The
safe conclusion is that onions may be
planted from year to year on the same
ground with impunity.
