had, through that very fact and Of
her own free will, become engaged to
me and that she did not need to have
two men engaged to her which was
true enough.

He was quite treasured as to the fate

The monster resumed his mask and
collected his strength to leave the

soon as he received the promised rel

That was all. The Persian saw
Erik to the door Of his fiat, and Darius
helped him down to the street. A
cab was waiting for him. Erik step

livery stable and raised his voice in
penetrating lamentation.

that all the neighborhood heard.

The streets swarmed with neigh
bors anxious to get the details of
the tragedy. Every one in the block

Billy and Baby. They had come into
his office when he was paying off
his help, and while his back was
turned had Gated great many re-
ceipts, large portions of his ledgers.
and, besides a roll of $145 in bills,
which he had left on his desk. All
that was left of his fortune was the
corner of a $40 bill.
What shall l do?" asked Stein,
wringing his hands.

some one.
Others suggested the use of the X
ray, and everybody peered at the
goats with new interest. Some of
the glances seemed so covetous that
Stein suddenly became alarmed, and
pushing everyone from his office, he
led the three goats to the stable, pad
locked the door, and sat outside until
FAR into the evening thinking what
he had better do about 1t.

Boston Telegram to the New York
Tribune.)
Nine farmers and prominent resi-
dents of Harvard township have com.
bined their interests and have sold
their land, in the aggregate 1866 acres,
to board of trustees, headed by
Fiske Warren, a Boston millionaire.
Instead of living as heretofore, to
pay taxes on their property and on
all improvements they may make,
they now pay substantial rental.
which does not increase with the iu-
creased valuation Of their farms and
orchards, and all the taxes are naid
out of the fund that this rental
creates. The farmer, instead of indi-
vidually owning his land, really owns
it equally with the community.
Some portion of the fund goes TO
Mr.. Warren in return for his invest
ment of money to buy up the farms
and set the organization in action.
The movement is the first of the
kind in this state, and follows closely
the successful installation of the COM
munal village and the German credit
guild system, in Halidon, Me-, by
Mr.. Warren, and in Arden, N. j.,
with his financial support.

LAU REL LAWYERS
AFTER LOAN
SHARKS
PRACTICALLY EVERY MEMBER OF
BAR AGREES TO TAKE CASES
FREE OF CHARGE.
(From Laurel August

The following agreement has been
signed by practically every member
Of the Laurel bar, and will have the
hearty Endorsement of the public:
To the Public:
We are Informed much complaint is
being made by poor people, unable to
/ hire lawyers, that money-lenders are
taking advantage of necessity and ig.
norance, and charging exorbitant rates
OF interest, some as high as 10 cents
on the dollar per week, for the use of
money, these poor people being under
the impression this rate is legal, not
having sufficient intelligence to calcu.
late and distinguish between 10 per
cent per year or per month
The legal rate of interest contract
3D. when in writing, may be 10 per
cent per year, and no more, a higher
rate, by whatever means collected, is
illegal and usurious. When not in
writing the legal rate is 6 per cent
per year. For instance, If 500 is bor-
row for year at 10 per cent, if the
agreement is in writing, 50 is all that
can legally be charged and collected;
ii not in writing per cent, or 81 20, is
all that can be charged and collected.
If higher rate than 10 per cent is
attempted to be collected then all in
terest is forfeited.
The people who are imposed upon
in this manner are generally ig-
norant whites and negroes not having
the money to employ lawyers. These
poor people are abe very people who
spend their money most freely and
need the protection of all good citizens.
We are informed that some of the
lawyers know of many
cases where poor person was loaned
a small sum, say So, on his furniture.
He paid $40 in interest in five months,
and still owed the principal of IS, and
In the end had his little furniture taken
from him by money-lender under the
impression the money-lender had a
legal right to take it, and that the
person taking the furniture was an
officer of the law. Numbers of cases
like this, SO we have been informed,
have come to some of us and begged
for help.
We are further informed that ig-
norant negroes are being imposed up
pm by insurance agents, representing
worthless mutual benefit companies. !
We desire to inform you that no agent
'r company whatever has authority to
10 business in this state unless they
irst obtain certificate from the state
iuditor that they are authorized to
