1t was October when the consulta- tion was held in the library Of the old French house on the Hudson December was very near on the sunny morning that Emily drove out to the factory and sought Bailey in his or fee.
 q wanted to talk with you, she eA- plained, as that gentleman rose to receive her. We have known each other for a long time, NIT. Bailey, ever since I came from the oacIeu Heart to live with Uncle Ethan. lHa' is very long time" ..
 Its a matter of five or six years agreed the charmed Bailey, conteni- plating her with affectionate pride III her prettiness and grace.

 The gay and natural allusion de- lighted her. For the first time in her life Emily French laughed out in genuine, mischievous sense of adven- ture.
 "Yes? I wonder you could separate yourself from that Rupert to come here; he was a most bewildering per son" she retorted
 Separate from Rupert? Why, I would not think of racing taxicao, as he would say without Rupert be- side me. He is here taking a post graduate course in this type of car. in order to be up to his work when we go down to Georgia next week"

 He shrugged his shoulders.
 "Prav be careful of those moving belts behind you, Miss Ffrench. 1T something does-there is a chance in every game worth playing"
 "A chance," her feminine nerves recoiled from the implied conse- quences. But only chance, surely. You were never in an accident, never were hurt?"
 Lestrange regarded her in surprise mingled with a dawning raillery infi- nitely indulgent.
 q had no accidents last season" he guardedly responded. i've been quite lucky. At least Rupert and l play our game unhampered; there will be no broken hearts if We are picked up from under our car some day

 Lestrange threw back his head, drawing a quick breath; here in the strong sunlight he showed even younger than she had thought him, young with a primitive intensity of just being alive.

LEAVES ROOM FOR DEBATE.
Fairmount and E1mporia Battle Leaves
DISPUTED Point.


Emporia Kan, Nov. An a bitter
battle the College of Emporia lost to
Paramount here Friday by the score
of "a to II. A disputed play mars the
result for the Wheatshockers and fur
pishes subject for debate. The locals
were outlucked and the visitors were
quick to see and take advantage of
their mistakes. Three tOuchdowns
were scored on Emporia's fumbles and
one was allowed that occurred after
time was called. Peterson was badly
hurt and carried from the field. Hay
maker and Stolter starred for the
visitors and Frazer and Lyons did best
work for the home team.
On the disputed play, Paramount
made a fair catch on the 33-yard line
and Immediately the whistle blew,
closing the half Referee Wade de-
clared that the kick should be allow
ed, and Solter's attempt from place
ment failed. Haymaker, however,
seized the ball behind the Empira goal
and, after some debate among the Off
Gals, it was called a touchdown. Hay
maker was not tackled and no attempt
was made at interference. This made
the score stand 5 to at the end of
this half.
Paramount started the scoring when.
after five minutes of play in the first
quarter, Haymaker seized a tumble on
an attempted pass. and ran fifty yards
for touchdown. Softer kicked goal
Six minutes later, Softer kicked a field
line The first quarter was all for
Paramount. In the second the En-
porians braced and. after a series of
gains on the famous Hike shift,
which Paramount failed to stop. Scha-
binger went over for touchdown.
Fairmount's touchdown on the place
ment plav came at the end of this
quarter and Softer kicked goal at the
beginning of the second half.
In the third quarter the Presby-
teriaus took the aggressive and swept
the Wheatshockers- back by a series of
brilliant plays. Long runs by Frazier,
one for fifty yards through broken
field. and a forward pass to Kitchen
for 5 yards. put the Emporians with
in striking distance and Schabinger
went over again. Schab inger kicked
goal. Paramount received the KICKOFF
and rushed the ball to the Seward line.
where Softer booted another field goal
Score I 8 to u.
Forward passes helped the Empor-
ians in the fourth period and Frazier
carried the ball over for another
touchdown Schabinger failed at goal.
Score 18 to II. Paramount kicked and
rushed the Emporians back to the To-
yard line. On a punt forma ton, a bad
pass from center sent the ball over the
goal. and Chance of Paramount fell on
it. Softer kicked goal. Score final, "a

"At the first game a big block of
seats was unoccupied and some per-

that scalpers had the seats and got
stuck on them. The real truth is that
this block of tickets for the first game,
a clerical error, was racketed
in with the tickets for the third game
and the mistake was not discovered
until too late to place them on sale,
and the two clubs and players thus lost
the revenue from those seats"

SETH T. EARNsWoRIH

Senator Clapp, the militant insur-
gent OF Minnesota, as chairman OF the
senate committee of interstate COM
merce, has undertaken the task of
finding a satisfactory answer to the
question. He has not as yet announced
his plan, but it is possible that a COM
mission will be asked for to fix the
price of butter and eggs and mutton
each morning.
Seth T. Farnsworth has advanced a
plan which through cooperation
would theoretically bring the average
cost of necessities for sustaining life
to $82.26 year.
Has Done Practical Work.
This sounds impossible and yet were
it possible in utopia to carry out his
theories, the scheme would be prac-
teal. Mr.. Framework has been &C
tive in this movement for many years
and has made life study of the sub
ject. He is a recognized authority on
this work. During the recent cam
paign in behalf of the consumer in
augurated by Mayor Shenk of Indian
apOliS, Mr.. FarnSWorth was called into
consultation and there presented some
original and novel ideas.
In the first place he would estab-
lish farmers clearing house to work
in the interests of the farmers in iden-
tically the same relation that the
clearing house does to the bank. Mr..
Farnsworth would receive a fixed, fair
staple all-the-year price of $1.O0 per
bushel for wheat, 80 cents per bushel
for corn and so on through the list
OF farmers products.
Middleman Gets Profit.
This central clearing house for the
farmers would be in cooperation with
the clearing house for the consumer.
His plan would not eliminate the mid
dleman in any case, but would through
systematic cooperation yield the mid
dleman fair profit
For example, the corn purchased at
a definite price of so cents per bush
ell will be turned over to the Cooper
alive Canning company, canned at cost
plus q small margin transferred to
the grocery store and delivered by the
groceryman on a definite route, the
same as Uncle Sans postmen now
handle mail at the rate of 4 of a
cent per pound and reach the consum-
er at the remarkably low price of 3
cents per can instead of Is cents. The
middleman would be working under a
guarantee Of not less than 81, 200 per
year and would be as sure of his
his money as the postman is now. The
same process would hold throughout
the entire system and no one would
suffer real loss.
All Would Benefit Alike.
There would of course be no IN
usual riches gathered by the middle
man and there would be no immense

Nonlinated bx one Vote.

The Importance of single vote has
been again demonstrated. Richard H
Koch, who received the Republican
nomination for judge in Schuylkiu coun-
ty at the recent primaries, has also been
nominated on the Prohibition ticket,
though he received but one Prohibition
ballot. Nobody voted for anybody else,
and so the nomination goes to former
Judge Koch, as the unanimous choice.
That one vote is not the whole Prohi-
bition party in Schuykiu county by any
means, but it can do business for the
whole party as long as nobody else
cares to go to the trouble.-Philadel-
