fat-strapped for cash. He had given
his last quarter to the cabby, hours

hotel, under an assumed name, I'M

A faint hum of voices, rising and

little wildly fixed upon his face in the
lamplight. the girl stumbled to her
feet, and for a moment remained cow
ering against the wall. terribly shaken,
a hand gripping n corner Of the pack
ing box for support. the other pressed
against the bosom of her dress as if in
attempt forcibly to quell the mad ham
mering OF her heart.
In her brain, turmoil of affrighted
thought, but one thing stood out clear
ly; now she need look for no mercy.
The first time it had been different
she had not been a woman had she
been unable then to see that the ad-
venture intrigued Maitland with its
spice of novelty, new sensation, fully
as much as she, herself, the pretty
woman out OF place, interested and at
tracted him. He had enjoyed playing
the part had been amused to lead her
to believe him an adventurer of met
tie and caliber little inferior to her
own-as he understood her; unscrupu-
lous, impatient of the bubble of
meum-et-tuum. but adroit and keen
witted, and distinguished and set apart
from the herd by grace of gentle
breeding and chivalric instincts.
How far he might OF might not have
let this enjoyment carry him, she had
no means of surmising. Not very far.
not too far, she was inclined to be-
lieve, strongly as she knew her per
sonality to have influenced him; not
far enough to induce him to trust her
out of sight with the jewels. He had
demonstrated that, to her humiliation.
The flush of excitement waning,
manlike soon had he wearied OF the
game-she thought; to her mind, in
distorted retrospect. his attitude when
leaving her at dawn had been insin-
cere, contemptuous, that of a man re-
lieved to be rid of her, relieved to be
able to get away in unquestioned pos
session OF his treasure. True, the sug-
gestion that they lunch together at
Eugene's had been his. But he had
forgotten the engagement, II ever he
had meant to keep it, IL the notion had
been more than within of the moment
with him. And O'Hagan had told her
by telephone that Maitland had left
his rooms at one o'clock-in ample
time to meet her at the restaurant.
No. he had never intended to come;
he had wearied; yet, patient with her
true to the ethics of gentle man, he
had been content to let her go, rather
than to send a detective to take his
place.
And this was something, by the
way. to cause her to revise her theory
as to the manner in which Anisty had
managed to steal the jewels. II Matt
land had gone abroad at one, and with,
out intending to keep his engagement
at Eugene's, then he must have been
despoiled before that hour, and with
out his knowledge. Surely, II the
jewels had been taken from him with
his cognizance, the hue and cry would
have been out and Anisty would not
have dared to linger so long in the
neighborhoodl
To be just with herself, the girl had
not gone to the restaurant with much
real hope of finding Maitland there
Curiosity had drawn her-just to see

Two letters relative to the potato
seed situation recently received by
w. r. Mcclellan are of deep inter-
est to potato growers and the Trib-
une ia enabled to publish them
through the courtesy of the recipi-
ent. The letters follow in the order
received:

Mr.. w. r. Mcclellan. sec'y Farmers
Club. Greeley.
Dear Sir: Mrs. Fitch has for
warded mo your letter. and am
much interested in your views and
agree with them. talked today
with Monte Vista people and find
they will not be able to buy much
seed another year. The banks have
backed them for two years to buy
seed and do not feel like doing 1t
again. So with them ~ with US
the question of using our own seed

Collins four sacks Of soil from each
OF several places. and shall secure
soil from Greeley fields, and seed
from diseased and healthy lots.
have written our authorities after
talking with them to ask II we can
possibly afford to make some extern
sive tests OF seed in the greenhouse
at summer temperatures. This will
involve a compartment within the
hothouse and extra heat.
I have asked Prof. Bennett to
talk with Director Gillette and
President Lory as to whether we
can AFFORD to do this. and If SO to
notify you.
There are some growers who
would value a direct test of this
sort. who do not believe in such
scientific things as fungi.
The potato expert of the Mime
sofa station advances this idea in a
letter: That fungi increase in vi
tality and destructive power as they
are continuously provided with
their food plant. So that lengthen-
ing the rotation-making longer in
tervals between potatoes. for in
stance-lessens the probability Of
damage. We have thought of long
periods Of alfalfa as enriching the
ground for potatoes. 1t doubtless
does do its most good that way. but
we may also think that several
years OF some crop that does not in
vigorate the fusarium do good apart
from the enrichment by increased
nitrogen content
We have had experiences all OF
us In getting big crops of potatoes
from land cropped for several years
to grain or beets that then had only
little time In alfalfa. Last year
! got $50 sacks from field that
had been rotated AZ follows: Pota-
toes. potatoes. wheat. alfalfa. al
falfa. potatoes, beets, alfalfa sowed
alone, alfalfa practically DESTROYED
ny hoppers. potatoes $50 sacks
Thus this field had not had potatoes
since the fourth year previous. and
had been cut for hay only one year.

CITY LEVY
FIXED AT
20 MILLS
SANE AS LAST YEAR ON A DE-
CREASED VALUATION
APPROPRIATIONS DISCUSSED
General Tax Income Will Be Slight
IL Less Than Last Year-Other
Income Will Be About
the Same

The city tax levy for 1911 Is ~
mills.
This figure is the same as last
wear and was fixed by the council at
a special meeting held last Saturday
night.
The valuation of the city property
this year was fixed by the county
assessor at $2,702,560, this sum be-
ing sS2,Sl0 less than last year. The
revenue from the city for the gen.
eral taxes will be $54,051.20, a few
hundred dollars less than last year.
In addition to this revenue the
city expects to receive an equal
amount from water. streets, IL
censes, ETC., making the annual re-
ceipts about s1oS,O00.
The appropriation ordinance prob
ably will not be passed until the
last session Of the year, but work
has already begun on it. The chair
men of the various committees are
estimating the amounts that will be
needed in the various funds, but 1t
will require careful consideration to
fix the exact amounts that will be
apportioned.
The council discussed the advis-
ability OF cutting the levy one mill,
but it was feared that the receipts
would drop too low If this was done.
AS 1t is with the valuations smaller
and the levy the same the admins
tration will not be overburdened
with money to conduct the city's
business. Unusual expenditures
and any great improvements will be
kept at a minimum under the pres
ent levy.

NATL GUARDS
May GET PAY

Adj. Gen. Chase who has returned
from a meeting of the national
guard officers held in Buffalo, re-
ports that the chances OF passing a
bill at the next session of congress
providing for the paying of national
guard officers and men out of the
federal treasury seem bright. The
passage of such a bill was the chief
subject discussed at the meeting in
Buffalo, he said.
A bill providing for such payment
OF the state militia men was intro
duced at the last session congress.
but died In committee. Since then
national guard officers have worked
fndustriously among members of
congress. and, according to General
Chase. 1t seems almost certain that
the bill will go through at the next
session.
The bill provides for the payment
OF . small monthly salary to all pri-
Yates and officers who attend drill
regularly and take an active inter-
est in the work.
