IN his arms. From the drawing-room
opposite, Mr.. Robert Maitland softly
tiptoed across the hall and closed the
library door, neither of the lovers be-
ing aware of his action.
Often and often they had longed for
each other on the opposite side Of a
door, and now at last the woman was
in the mans arms and no door rose
between them, no barrier kept them
apart any longer. There was no obli-
cation Of loyalty Or honor, real or i'm
agined, to separate them now. They
had drunk deep of the chalice Of cour-
age, they had drained the cup to the
very bottom, they had shown each
other that though love was the great
est of passions, honor and loyalty were
the most powerful of forces, and now

Kenosha, Wis, June 3.-Charles
Szklenska was arraigned in the munic-
ipal court on a charge of murder and
was held pending further investiga-
ton. Szklenska is alleged to have
applied the tube of a compressed air
machine to the flesh of Michael Volu-

Szklenska was to blame for Voluka's
death. The jury, however, found that
Szk1enska had not intended to cause
the death of the man, but was playing
a joke.

H0W to Make
Better Cough Syrup than

A Family supply, Saving 81 and
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup-as much
as you could buy for $2.50-can easily
be made at home. You will find nothing
that takes hold of an obstinate cough
more quickly, usually ending it inside Of
% hours. Excellent, too, for Group,
whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma,
hoarseness and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
y pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This is Just laxative enough to help
cure cough. Also stimulates the appe-
tite which is usually upset by a cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect OF pine and sugar syrup on
the inAamed membranes is we'll known.
Pinex is the most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine extract,
rich in guaiacol and all the natural
healing pine clements. Other prepare
lions will not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of. housewives
throughout the United States and Can
ada. The plan has been initiated, but
the old successful formula has never
been equaled.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction. or

If warning it was meant to be. This did

moment, taking in the prospect; decided
that the Works and the Works alone
made the town, and started for the house
which had been pointed out to him His
way lay through the chief business street,
and, greatly preOccupied by his errand,
he gave but a passing glance to the rows
on rows Of workmen's dwellings stretch
ing away to the left in seemingly end
less perspective. Yet in that glance he
certainly took in the fact that the side

wondered if it were a holiday If so, It
must be an enforced one. for the faces
showed little JOY. Possibly a strike was
on. The anxiety he everywhere saw pic
tured on young faces and old, argued
some trouble; but if the trouble was
that, why were all heads turned ndiffer-
entity from the Works. and why were
the Works themselves in full blast?
These questions he may have asked
himself and he may not. His attention
was entirely centered on the house he
saw before him and on the possible de-
velopments awaiting him there Moth
ing else mattered Briskly he stepped
out along the sandy road, and after a
turn or two, which led him quite away
from the Works and its surrounding
buildings, he came out upon the high
way and this house.
1t was a low and unpretentious one,
and had but one distinguishing feature
The porch which hung we'll over the door,
step was unique in shape and gave an
air of picturesqueness to an otherwise
simple exterior; picturesqueness which
was much enhanced in its effect by the
background of illmitable forest which
united the foreground of this pleasing
picture with the great chain of hills
which held the Works and town in its
ample basin

three years.
Do you think it advisable for me
to continue keeping company with
her or-nOt? d. l..
Tell the girl frankly what you have
told me, A three-year engagement IS
often an injustice to the girl, because of
the fickIeness Of your sex. If you are

potato growers conditions. 1t may be
briefly described as follows:
At digging time portion of all of
the crop depending upon its size) is
dug by hand, the product Of each hill
being placed by itself on the ground
nearby. A general view of the field
after digging will enable the grower
to quickly decide upon a certain stand
ard to which those hills that are to be
saved for seed must conform For
example, the standard may be those
hills which contain at least four or five
uniform, typically shaped tubers of
marketable size, with few, If any,
small ones. Having decided upon the
standard of selection, as many hills
coming up to the standard as may be
Ieeded should be picked and reserved
for planting the next years crop. The
same process should be repeated with
each succeeding crop.
Farmers Bulletin 365 of the United
States Department of Agriculture
cites the case Of Michigan man who
followed the above method Of selec-
ton. OF the potatoes grown in the

According to the last United States
Census, West Virginia produced, in

els of potatoes, an average yield of
Dot bushels per acre. The total value
Of the crop was $2,278,638, the average
value of the crop per acre being
e53.46. In total value, the crop was
exceeded by corn, wheat, timothy alone
and timothy and clover. In average
value per acre the potato crop ranked
second. being exceeded by tobacco
alone. 1t was followed by the above
mentioned crops, as follows: Corn,

Any one who has dug potatoes by
hand can not have failed to notice a
great variation in the yields Of the dif7
ferent hills. The usual method of Sc
lecting the potatoes for planting from
the bin fails to take this fact into con-
sideration. Even though the grower
may chose only those tubers that are
smooth, typical in shape, and of mar
ketable size, he has no way of know
ing whether a tuber answering this
description was one of several similar
ones from a high yielding hill or the
only desirable one from low yielding
