Mr.. Cummins took the position that
the investigation had not been justi-

direction simply because the attorney
for the Chicago Tribune had said that
he would not make any effort to con-
meet Mr. Lorimer with the bribery in
his behalf, which the attorney was
charging. Mr.. Cummns's contention
was that as the Tribune was not a.

should have proceeded independently
of the concessions Of counsel,
The committee also was censured by

CHAPTER XIV.
At the Cairn.

The evening was what the day had
been-gusty, and full of clouds, and
ftful splashes of rain; but there was
still light enough in the sky to guide
Ethel Greylock, she flew down the
drive into the highroad.
She started for the cairn. Her chief
fear was that she might encounter her
grandfathers returning carriage; but
Fate favored her. She saw no living
creature. Turning into the narrow
path that led from the highway, with
swift, determined step, she descend
ed to the old salt pits.
He was there. leaning against the
heap of rocks and rubbish-that mon
ument which Mercy Poole's hand had
raised to her false, dead lover. Yes,
1t was his own dark, splendid self, in
cloak and sOmbrerO, with the stage
hero air which she remembered so
well, and ardent eyes that anXiOusly
searched the gloom, up and down, and
round about, for the coming Of his
fair ladye." To beguile the time of
waiting he had lighted a cigar-its
red spark burned like a star i'm the
darkness.
AS Ethel Greylock's step sounded on
the soft ground, Regnault threw away
the weed, and rushed to meet her In
stantly she was in his arms, clasped
close to his heart. He was covering
her pale face with his kisses.
MY darling, you are late!" he cried
reproachfully. Il began to think that
you. too, were afraid of the ghosts

Pointers About Rice.-In the annual

yune a rice company devotes a whole
page to the exploitation of the merits
of rice as a food. Some of the state
ments in the advertisement are worth
remembering in time like this, when
meat is altitudnOus in price.
Rice, for example, Is more nutri-
tious than wheat, rye, oats, corn, pO-
tatoes, fat beef or lean beef There is
as much food value in one pound of
rice as there is in three pounds of po-
tatoes or $40 pounds of fat beef.
A bowl of rice for breakfast is as
nutritious as two strips of bacon and
two eggs. The same bowl of rice for
breakfast will carry one as far as a
pound of steak.
Rice is the most digestible cereal.
1t Is wholly assimilated in one hour.
1t takes more than three hours to di-
gest white bread.
Any man can live by eating two
pounds of rice the day.
Some rice eaters, however, make a
mistake in wanting the rice white.

THE DYING PINES.
Department Of Agriculture Is Seeking
to Get information.


In the fall Of 1910 and winter of 1911
there were numerous requests from
correspondents for information and
assistance relating to the dying Of
pines in various sections of the south
ern states. In compliance with these
requests the United States department
of agriculture, through its experts and
agents in the bureau of entomology,
has given special attention to the sub
ject. A thorough study has been made
of the character and extent of the
trouble in the South Atlantic and Gulf
states during the past six months.
Forest Insect Field Station was To-
Gated at Spartanburg. s. c., early in
July to serve as the headquarters Of
representatives Of the bureau Of ento-
mology, who, from this central point,
have been very active in giving prac-
tical instructions and demonstrations
on the cause Of the dying pine and the
remedy. Many thousands Of circulars
and letters of information have been
sent direct to owners of pine in all Of
the South Atlantic and Gulf states.
Addresses have been delivered at COM
munity, county, state and inter- state
meetings of owners Of pine and others
interested in the protection Of the
forest resources of the south, and the
press has given wide publicity to the
movement. There is now evidence Of
widespread interest in this subject
and we are confident that II the In
formation already given to the people
Is properly utilized In concerted ef-
fort by the majority of the owners In
the affected areas, the pine will stop
dying.
With a view to securing direct in
formation as to the interest manifest
ed by owners of pine in each commu-
nifty where trees are dying, return
postal cards are being sent to the
owners with questions as follows. The
replies to these questions will indicate
to what extent the department has at
tanned its object of rendering SER
vice to the people and whether or not
further assistance Is required.
Questions to be answered Yes" or
Mo-:
/. Are there patches of dying and
dead pine in your community? ......
2. II there are patches OF dying
timber have you had information on
the cause and remedy? ...s.. BY
letter? ...... Circular? ...... Pub
lie address? ...... or Newspaper?
8. In your opinion is there suf-
ficient interest in saving the pine In
your community so that majority OF
owners will take the required action
this fall and winter to prevent further
loss? ......
4. Do you or your neighbors desire
any further information or instruc-
tions that will enable you to get the
best results at the least expense? ...,..
5. Give the name and address or
some owner in your community or
county who Is taking an active inter-
est In the subject? 49,.
II owners Of pine will answer the
above questions by number and mail
them to Forest Insect Field Station .,

movement for the protection of their
