rangements were made by which Josie
was able to go Betty one better. A

vanished from our ken, but promised
to be back for the Christmas holidays.
Betty was happy, she protested in

the order of their relative Importance.

to Josie's bow. Roland was working
hard at the bank, with an application
that earned Blinky Lockwoods regard
and outspoken appreciation, and his
Christmas raiment proved the sensa-
ton of the season.
In passing I should mention that
Betty didn't come home once through
out the entire school term. The Christ

with a girl friend at her Philadelphia

Sothern & Lee.

CHAPTER XVII.

- ROBABLY nothing ever gave
O rise to more comment in Rad
Vile than Betty Graham's de-
parture to spend the winter at
q boarding school near Philadelphia.
Hardly any one knew anything about
tin fact, the rumor of it was just
being noised about and contemptuous-
~ discredited on all hands-when Ira
rey galloped down Main street Monday
morning with the news that she had
left on the early train.
Radville was at first stupefied. then
clamorous. but there was little infor-
nation to be got out Of old Sam.
Duncan himself refused to be inter-
viewed. He told everybody who had
the impudence to mention the matter
to him that 1t was Mr. Graham's af-
fair. Mr.. Graham was a substantial
business man, he said, and If he chose
to send his daughter away to school
he had a perfect right to do so.
One direct result of 1t all was to
hasten Josie's own leave taking. 1t
would never do to let the Grahams
eclipse the Lockwoods, you see. Josie
had been talking Of going to a school
in Maryland, but Betty's move to a

Kellogg turned to obey the admoni-
ton of Duncan's gesticulations and
took a long look round the store.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 3.-Ihe Kan
.sas foundries and iron works are
working overtime building cheap
stoves to be used next spring in the
orchards Of the State. On account OF
the idiosyncrasies of the Kansas
weather, there is nothing at all cer-

thousaids of dollars invested in or

pots to protect their trees.

the first man to TRIP the stoves. He
has used the smudge pots for years

that the man who fired it had per-

fired the ball or from which direction
IL came. He says New Year shooting
was quite a pastime in the neighbor-

ACCUSED MINISTER is
RECOVERING RAPIDLY
Attorney Thinks That He Will
Be Unable to Appear in Court
Soon, However
NV Associated Prsss.l

BOSTON, Dec. 21.-Everything pointed
today to the rapid recovery of Rev. Clar-
ence ". t. Richeson, accused of the
murder of Avis Linnell and who mutt
lated himself in his cell at the Suffolk
county jail yesterday.
Possible blood poisoning is the only
element that stands In the way of
Richeson's recovery and that. the sur
geons say, is extremely unlikely.
Difference. of opinion was expressed in
legal and medical circles today as to
whether the accused minister's condition
win permit him to appear in court on
January is, the date set for his trial.
Attorney william A. Morse. Of Richie
sons counsel. says he believes that his
client will be in no fit physical condi-
ton to Undergo the ordeal of his ap-
pearance in court so soon.
Sheriff Seavry has guards at RICHIE
sons bedside every moment of the day
and night to prevent the prisoner maxi
ing any further effort to injure himself.
Attorney Morse visited his client at
the jail infirmary this afternoon. He
said he had found the clergyman resting
quietly.
