The next day King made a purely
business call at the shop of Mr.. Spantz.
He looked long. with somewhat
Bhifty eye, at the cablnet OF ancient
rings and necklaces, and then depart
ed without having seen the interesting
Miss Platanova.
AT his room in the hotel he found a
note addressed to himself. 1t did not
have much to say. but II meant great
deal. There was no signature, and the
handwriting was that of woman.
"Pleasc do not come again" That was
all.
He laughed with fine tone of de-
fiance and went back to the shop at
B o'clock, just to prove that nothing
so timld as a note could stop him. On
the occasion of this last visit to the
shop he did not stay long, but went
away somewhat dazed to find himself
the possessor of a ring he did not want
and out of pocket just $50, American.
Having come to the conclusion that
knight errantry of that kind was not
only prohlgate. but distinctly irritating
TO his sense of humor. he looked up
Mr.. Hobbs and arranged for days
ride In the mountains.
Mr.. Hobbs led his patron into the
mountain roads early the next morn
ing, both well mounted and provided
with luncheon.
1t Is a good three hours ride TO the
summit Of Monastery mountain. And
after the height has been attained
one does not care to linger long among
the chilly, whistllng crags. with their
snow creyasses and bitter winds. The
utter loneliness. the aloofness OF this
frost crowned crest appalls. disheartens
one who loves the fair. green things
OF life.
II was 3 o'clock when they clattered
down a stone road and up to the for
bidding vale In which lurked, like an
evil, guilty thing. the log built home
of the witch OF Ganlook gap. that an
cient female who made no secret Of
her practices In wi,chcraft.
A low thatched roof protruded from
the hill against which the hut was
built. AS matter of fact. thin

baker, the tradesman and even the
newspaper reporter are well known
stage types, but The Travelling Sales
man." the new comedy by James
Forbes. author of The Chorus
Lady" is probably the first play to
take the drummer, the man whp

into the most important character OF
footlight performance.
OF course the travelling man has
been seen in a great many plays, but
either in a minor role or in a char

who became famous as a creator OF
unique stage characters through his
never to be forgotten Patricia
O'Bricn of "Thc Chorus Lady, has
succeeded admirably in reproducing

SCHOOL BOARD
Withdraws Bond Issue Proposition
Have Several Good Reasons

At their meeting last evening the
School Board. after looking the situation
squarely in the face. and realizing that
probably there will have to DO some half
day school sessions here next year
in the lower grades. and also with
the probability Of elimina ting some Of the
branches in the high school. decided not
to submit the proposition for bond issue
to the voters Of School District No. 4 this
year. The particular reason for this is
on account Of the already high taxes and
the board do not figure that the school
di strict wants any bond issue until after
the water solution 10 worked out for the
city of Rocky Ford.

GUMPTION ON THE FARM.

Sometimes we have SO much to do
that we don't know where to begin.
1t is a good plan to tackle the JOB we
nate worst the first thing. Then we
can feel good while we are doing the
others.
A loose board too often squcaks
loudly OF loose methods.
All sorts OF odd jobs are in order
now: and get the whitewash brush
ready TO flop.
1t is too late when the stack has
tumbqed and smothcrcd your best
COW to regret not having fenced II
off.
nNturcs you may need. before you
get out the pillow for the spring work.
Never run for an Office; better IL
so comport yourself and so conduct
your affairs that your neighbors will
set the oIhcc running alter you.
II you have any iron or other met
al roofs take 4 comfortable spell ana
paint them. Get all such jobs out oi
tnc way before something else begins
20 crowd you.
The proposal to confinc parcels
post to rural routes, If made into law,
will work in the interest of the eN-
press companies and not OF the rural
population. 1t is foolishncss.
Are patches in the yard bare OF
grass? After the first thaw sprinkle
some Kentucky blue grass on them
and rake in when ground gets dry
enough. A little white clover. too.
Are you really in the harness foi
business now? Many folks are.
Buckle the straps good. tuck in tn.
ends and let the other fellow do the
Nicking. Keep your own legs inside
the traces and pull true all the time.
Frost, and digging post-holcs, do
not go together very well; but a.
soon as the earth docs soften up. you
will have the very best time of ali
the year to get ready for the fence.
1t isn't nearly such hard work then
as it is later when the earth is as
dry and hard as bone.
1t pays to go down to the city and
work up 4 trade for the farm produce.
Hunt up customers for the butter,
eggs, apples. potatoes, cabbage and
all such stuff. Have a regular mar
kct day when you can always be
found there. Folks will expect you
and depend on you. They will pay
you cash and as good prices as they
would have to pay at the store, be-
cause they get better weight and
measure and fresher produce.
FOR a watcr-pipe burst by frost:
Get at drug store, or from your
doctor. a plaster bandagc two inches
wide. Hold it in bowl of water
till the bubbles stop rising. Then at
once wrap it around and around the
broken pipe. smoothing with the
hands as you go. Thus you will make
a splint similar in shape to the wiped
joint which the plumbers make. 1t
will last long and will not leak.
We see no logical reason-do you?
why a prosperous farmer should
put all his money in the bank and
let the repair OF farm buildings.
fences, etc. be neglected. Money
and time are well spent in keeping up
farm buildings and fences It's all
right to save something. as we go
along, for a rainy day; but there is
more pleasure for the whole family
in a smaller bank account. and in hav-
ing things neatly kcpt-to improve
rather than to detcrioratc.

COLD BREAKS IN FEW HOURS
Says QuinIne Isn't Effective in the
Cure Of Colds and Grippe

1t is a positive fact that dose of
Pape's Cold Compound taken every
two hours until three consecutive do
ses are taken will cure Grippe or
break up the most severe cold, either
in the head, chest, back, stomach or
limbs.
You distinctly feel the cold break
ing and all the disagreeable grippe
symptoms leaving after the very first
dose. 1t promptly ends the most mis-
cradle headache, neuralgia pains, dull
ness, head and nose stuffed up, few
erishness. sneezing, sore throat, run
ming of the nose, mucous catarrhal
discharges, soreness, stiffness and
rheumatic twinges.
Pape's Cod Compound is the result
of three years research at cost OF
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no qulnine, which we have
conclusively demonstrated is not
effective in the treatment Of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine made any
where else in the world, which will
cure your cold or end Grippe misery
as promptly and without any other as
sistance or bad after-effects as 20
cent package of Pape's Cod Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.
