CHAPTER !.


You have felt the thrill Of the
chase? Your pulses have leaped like
an arrow at the zip, zip OF the dogs
in close pursuit? You have dashed
madly over fences. taking the hurdle
without regard to personal danger as
the prey suddenly sprang from its
covert and whisked swiftly Into the
hazel brush ahead? You-but walt!
Fancy! Did you ever behold ten
pretty. vivacious lithe-limbed young
women chasing a handsome mana
perfect stranger-through a dogwood
swamp. their dresses swirling high
above pretty ankles. their baying.

"Whoo-p!"
A startled rabbit. aroused from his
breakfast OF alder shoots. sat up in
may bewilderment. took one hasty
glance and bounded away into the
marsh grasses. his funny little tail
bobbing through the squashy places
like a meteor Of down. -. -.-..
Ahead the man was running freely
taking an occasional swift glance
over his shoulder at the foremost OF
the foe. One by one, the pursuers
were falling by the way. their laugh

Suddenly the man swerved behind q
great ash along the trail and waited.
Through the brush behind he heard

hiding place and opened his arms!
With a gurgle Of surprise. her
cheeks as flaming red as the Oriental

could free herself, the mans lips
were at hers. slipping the honey with
an ecstasy of delight!
oh! she gasped. struggling.
Were you looking for me?" asked
the man, taking toll again and hold
ing her close.
But" she cried. But" between
kisses And then with one free hand
she boxed him soundly on the ear.
He let her go instantly. rubbing his
head regretfully.
She stood staring at him. her laugh
ter given way to anger.

dare you?"
Never mind" said the man hum

BETTER NINE CONDITIONS.
Reports Show Loss Of Life is Less
In Last Year Than Formerly.

Denver.-A human life was lost in
Colorado's mines for every 10000
tons Of coal mined last year. A pen
atty of ninety-one lives was paid for
the 1O,157,3S3 tons of coal produced
by the mines in 1911.
In the first eight months of 1912
practically the same ratio held good,
for sixty-four men met death in the
industry Of coal mining in this state
up to September 1, 1912. Ha r.,t
Both years show e great reduction
in the lives, lost from 1910,- however,
for in that year terrible disasters in
the Trinidad and Louisville fields
brought the total of miners deaths
up to 1923, or one for each $4,000. tons
of coal produced. This was the high
est average Of deaths in comparison
with tonnage in tho nation in that
year-1910.
1t was partly on account OF this
disastrous showing that the federal
bureau of mines was impelled to send
two of its mine safety cars to Colo
rado. Every effort has been made by
the government to improve conditions
and discipline in Colorado's coal
mines. -'..... ..--,.,..

CREAMERY MANAGEMENT
A Government Expert to Assist In
Placing the Concern on Paying Basis.

The Oakland Dairy Association has
succeedod IA securing tiIc service OF MI.
l.. w. Hopkins of Michigan, an efficient
and very successful buttermaker, as
manager and buttermaker. Mr.. Hop
kins comes highly recommended by COVER
ment authorities. He has been employ
ed in the Alto Cooperative Creamery at
Alto, Michigan, for the past eighteen
months and has succeeded in increasing
the output of that creamery from $500
to $500 pounds of butter per week. He
will begin work at Oakland about De-
cember l.
The Dairy Division of the United
States Department of Agriculture be-
lieves there is field for very success
tul creamery at Oakland and their re-
preventative, Mr.. w. B. Liverance,
will devote considerable portion of his
time in this section in assisting the
directors of the creamery and Mr.. Hop
kins in getting the creamery on a sound
basis. Every effort possible will be
made to get the creamery working
economically in order that the patrons
may be paid the top price for their but
terfat. The Dairy Division will cooper
ate with the creamery until it's success
is assured.
The section surrounding Oakland is
especially adapted to dairying. Farm
lands will return more money to their
owners where good dairying is practiced
than by any other form of agriculture
Two profits accrue from dairYing, viz,
! first, direct cash return from dairy
products, secondly, the fertilizer value
of manure resulting from keeping the
herd When one considers the value of
| the skim milk for feeding calves and
pigs and the returns from the sale of
stock, it Is evident that dairying is a
profitable phase of agriculture if prop
erly conducted. 1t will surely pay the
| farmers about Oakland to devote their
time and attention to dairying, that is,
with the creamery working on sound
basis as it will in the future.
! The manager and directors solicit the
! cream of all the farmers Of this section.
Give them thorough trial and assist
them in getting you good market for
your dairy products. A creamery max
ing large quantity of butter can pay
the farmer more for his hutterfat than
can the small plant. The reason for
this is that the average buttermaker
can make twice as much butter as he is
making at no additional cost. Your
patronage will assist you in getting a
high price for butterfat. Try it and
| see.

joys Of Litigation.

Another case illustrative Of the old
saying that some men take real de-
light in going to law" is before
the court of an interior county of
Pennsylvania. And as so often hap
pens in such litigations. 1t began In
a quarrel about a cow.
The COW wandered into a field of
growing wheat and ate her fill. The
owner OF the field sued the owner OF
the cow for damages which prob
ably would have been fully covered
by a verdict of SO. But the owner
of the COW, with reputation as "a
fighter" to maintain, brought cross
suit. and that started a war which
has ragged ever since. 1t began more
than five years ago, and in that time
there have been half a dozen differ
ent. suits over the affair, including
one for false arrest and one for
SANDER. The litigants have already
paid upward Of $1,000 and as much
more for counsel fees, and as both
parties are men of means the con-
troversy Is scheduled for a long run.
The cow whose stolen lunch started
it all is dead.
