protests, waxing vehement and
eventually profane, as he barked
his daintily-kept fingers, in re-
hearsal for giving a correct rep
resentation of an Honest artisan
cobbling a boot, died away when
Average Jones explained to him
that on pretense Of having found
a rare book, he was to worm out
of cautious and probably sus-
picious criminal the nature of
some unique and hidden feature
of the volume.
Trust me for diplomacy" said
Bertram airily.

torted Average Jones. "Well,
get to work. TO you the outer
shop: to Warren and me this
rear room. And, remember, II
you hear me whetting a knife,
that means come at once"
Uncomfortably twisted into a
supposedly professional posture,
Bertram wrought with hammer
and last, while putting off, with
lame, blind and hating excuses,
such as came to call for their
promised footgear. By tri-
umph of tact he had just disposed
of a rancid-tongued female who
demanded her husbands boots, a
satisfactory explanation, or the
arbitrament of the lists, when the
bell tinkled and the two watch
ers in the back room heard a
nervous, cultivated voice say:
SIS Mr.. Fichtel here?"
That's me-" said Bertram,
landing an agonizing blow on his
thumb-nail.
"You advertised that you had
found an old book"
Yes, sir. Somebody left it in
the post-office."

The MAN WHO SPOKE LATIN.
Continued From Yesterday
Three hours later he reappear-
ed with collar wilted, but spirits
elate, and abruptly announced:
Warren, I'm a cobbler."
"A what?"
"A cobbler. Mend your boots,
you know"
Are you In earnest?"
Certainly. Haven't you ever
remarked that a serious-minded
earnestness always goes with cob
bling? Though I'm not really a
practical cobbler, but prophet
airy one. Our friend, Bertram,
will dress and act the practical
part. I've wired him and he's re-
piled, collect, accepting the job.
You and I will be in the back
ground"
"Where?"
mo. 81 Jasmine Street. Not a
very savory locality. Why Is it,
Warren, that the beauty of city
street is generally In inverse ratio
to the poetic quality of its name?
There I've hired the shop and
stock of Mr.. Hans F1chtel for two
days, at the handsome rental of
ten dollars per day. Mr.. Fichtel
purposes to take a key OF beer
a-fishing. I think two days will
be enough"
For the keg?"
For that noble Roman, Livius.
He'll be reading the papers pretty
keenly now. And in tomorrow's
he'll find this advertisement"
Average Jones read from a
sheet of paper which he took
from his pocket:
"FOUND-Old book in foreign
language, probably Latdn,
marked 'Percival.' Owner may re-
cover by giving satisfactory der
scription of peculiar and obscure
feature and refunding for adver-
tisement.-Fichtel, 27 Jasmine
street."
What is the peculiar and OBJ
scure feature, Jones?" asked War
rem.
II don't know"
How do you know there ia
any?"
Must be something peculiar
about the book or Enderby would
not put in four months OF work
on the chance OF stealing 1t. And
1t must be obscure, otherwise the
auctioneer would have spotted
It,"
Sound enough" approved the
other. What could 1t be? Some
interpolated pager"
Hardly. I've treatise in my
pocket on seventeenth century
book-making. which I'm going to

early start. to meet Bertram.

New Protest On
That Pole Line

Now the Orchard street people
are up in arms over that high
tension line of the Stone-Webster
company.
Originally the company started
setting poles down Cove street,
but the residents made such a Wig
orous protest that the council had
to rescind the permit.
Now Orchard street owners say
If the line was not good enough
for Cove street it is not good
enough for Orchard.
A petition is being signed up.

HOW SCHOOLS WILL
USE EDISON FILMS |


Edison has worked on his
educational film until he has
reduced it's length to so
feet. 1t is only one inch
wide and can be placed in a
pill-box for mailing. The
usual moving picture film
used in theaters is 900 feet
long. Each room is to pur-
chase a moving-picture ma
chine and the films will be
loaned for fee by the Edi-
son laboratory. Courses COW
ering the eight years Of
grammar grade work and
the four years of high school
work are now being mapped
out by expert instructors re-
tanned by Edison for consul
tation. Each film, before be-
ing KID is tried out by Edi-
son before the pupils of the
Orange, N. j.. public schools.

Walla Walla county, 100000
bushels. Grant county has 40o,-
coo acres in wheat and estimates
the value Of the crop at $4,000

smaller yield because Of no,
winds, which have shriveled the
grain. Clarke county promises
about the same yield as 1911.
Stevens county promises a yield
26 per cent better than last year.

counties, thought not great wheat
producers, promise to yield sixty

Lincoln county predicts the aver
age fruit yield. The Lewis river
country will have but a small

a fruit crop 70 per cent better
than 1911. Kittitas county has
a bumper fruit crop. The Stila-
suamish and Skagit valleys pre-
dict poor yield.
