Do You Sleep Ont Of Doors?
Here Is Splendid Outdoor Bed for $3.50

1t might be matter of great surprise
to some people to know how many peo-
pie have adopted this method of keeping
we'll. And yet it highly recommends itself
to good, common sense.
1t is when you sleep that nature
builds up the tissues the days work has
destroyed. Certainly then, if ever fresh,
pure air is needed. And the part that
good bed, spring and mattress play
should not be overlooked.
We recommend this iron bed at $8.5o
1t has two-inch posts, is white enameled,
and is by far the best value that we know
of at anything like the same price. May
be had in single or double size.
A National Spring, the most i'm
proved of ALL is $500. The C.-J.-DuB.
Mattress, than which there is none better,

that Miss Lloyd, too. would prove more
amenable than she had yet been.
She soon came in, and though l was
beginning to get accustomed 10 the Iact
that she was a creature OF variable
moods, l was unprepared for this one.
Her hauteur had Disappeared: she was
apparently in a sweet and gentle frame
of mind. Her large. dark eyes were soft
and gentle. and though her red lips quiv-
cred, 1t was not with anger or d1sdain, as
they had done the day before. She wore
a plain white morning gown and long
black necklace Of small beads. The sim
plicity of this costume suited her well.
and threw into relief her own rich color
ing and striking beauty.
She greeted me more pleasantly than
she had ever done before. and 1 couldn't
help feeling that the cheerful. sunny, 1T
tie room had a better effect on her moods
than the darker furnishings of the Ii
brary.

wish there were no such thing as I'M
truth or crime in the world. and that l
were calling on you as an acquaintance
as friend might call"
Il wish SO. too" she responded. and as
she flashed a glance at me l had
glimpse of what 1t might mean TO be
friends with Florence Lloyd without the
ugly shadow between us that now was
spelling our tete-a-tete
Just that fleeing glance held in 1t the
promise of all that was attractive, charm
ing and delightful in femininity. 1t was
as IL the veil of the great, gloomy sorrow
had been lifted for a moment and she was
again an untroubled, merry girl. 1t seem
ed. too, as il she wished that we could
be together under pleasanter circum-
stances and could converse on subjects of
less dreadful import However. all these
thoughts that unanimously raced through
my mind must be thrust aside in favor
Of the business in hand.
So, though hated to, I began at once.
81 am sorry, Miss Lloyd, to doubt your
word but l want to tell you myself rather
than 10 have you learn, it from others
that l have a witness who has testified

"Oh, come, now. that's going pretty rar;
but I will say. Burroughs. that you
haven't the least shred Of proof against
Hall, and you know 1t. Prejudice ana
desire that he should be the villain, are
all very well. But they won't go far as
evidence in a court Of law.
l was forced to admit that Parmalee
was right. and that so far 1 had no proof
whatever that Gregory Hall was at all
implicated in Mr.. Crawford's death. To
be sure, he might have worn a yellow
rose and he might have brought the late
newspaper but there was no evidence to
connect him with those clues. and. too
there was the gold bag. 1t was highly
improbable that that should have been
brought to the Office and left there by a
man.
However, I persuaded Parmalee to agree
not to carry the matter to Mr.. Goodrich
until had had one more interview with
Miss Lloyd. and l promised to undertake
that the next morning.
After Parmalee had gone I INDUCED in
some very gloomy reflections. Every
thing seemed to point one way. Every
proof, every suspicion and every hint
more or less implicated Miss Lloyd.
But the more 1 realized this the more
determined to do all I could for her,
dence and even liking, 1 resolved to ap-
proach the subject the next day with the
utmost tactfulness and kindness. hoping
by this means to induce the truth from
her.
The next morning I started on my mis-
sion with renewed hopefulness. Reaching
tho Crawford house I asked for Miss
Lloyd. and I was shown into a small par
lor to wait for her. 1t was a sort OF

have said you didn't go down there
AS I had feared, the girl turned white
and shivered as If with q dreadful ap-
prehension.
"Who is the w1tness?" she said.
I seemed to read her mind, and 1elt
at once that to her the Importance OF
what I had said depended largely on my
answer to this question. and l paused a
moment to think what this could mean.
And then it flashed across me that she
was afraid I would say the witness was
Gregory Hall. l became more ano more
convinced that she was shielding Hall.

about him? Was 1t Mr.. Hall?"

AS l had anticipated she showed dis

And now, Miss Lloyd. I ask you ear
nestly and with the best intent. please to
tell me the details OF your visit to Mr..

cast down, the long, dark lashes lying on
her pale cheeks. 1 waited patiently, for

emotion of some sort. and l feared il l

provide only a small income for me. He
said this was not revenge or punishment
for my loyalty to Mr.. Hall, but-but-"

ment Of the latter would mean simply
a more active circulation of the money
now in existence, and will enable the
farmer to secure for cash much greater
amount of value than the same sum ex-
pended in the credit system would give
to him.
To a large degree the credit for this ef-
fort to establish system of rural finance
in this country is due to David Lubin,
successful California farmer. who
number of years ago became obsesSed
with the idea that while the soil can be
cultivated as to vastly increase the
quantity and quality of its products, 1t
does not pay the farmer to do this unless
the products can be so distributed as to
secure fair returns to the producer and
yet reasonable prices to the consumer.
While others had had this idea, Mr.
Lubin believed that the problem was
world wide and could only be solved by
an efficient International organization.
With this end in view he started out
alone to canvass the governments of the
world. He submitted his proposition to
different governments. and, while all re-
ceived it cordially, the difficulties were so
first to assume it, Finally. however, the
King Of Italy became personally inter
ested. He provided a palace and grounds
and invited the other nations of the
world to animate IN the INTERNATIONAL III
stitute of agriculture. So generally was
the invitation accepted that now SO per
cent Of the worlds population and %
per cent of it's area is represented by the
forty-seven governments which are now
included in it's membership. Mr. Lubin
has been the delegate from the United
States at the institute since its begin
ming. In this work he becamesimpressed
with the fact that, although relatively
poor. the farmers of Italy. France Ger
many and the low countries are able to
accomplish wonderful results from their
resources, chiefly because of their CO.
operative financial systems. which enable
them to get the best value fer the money
expended. He will endeavOr to demon
strate the feasibility of starting in every
township and county of his own country
the financial methods which are proving
so successful abroad. After the confer
ence Mr.. Lubin will make tour for the
purpose of still further explaining his
propaganda, and his absence from Rome
has been arranged for this purpose by
special permission Of the Secretary OF
State.

The Raiffeisen is only one of three great
credit systems operating in Germany for
the benefit of
Raiffeisen System the farmers.

similar. but the capital is obtained by
shares subscribed by the members Of the
cooperative associations and by the
members deposits In some places, this
system works upon limited and in 9TH
ers upon an unlimited plan of liability.
The Landschaften is a system of land
credit. The farmers form into co-opera-
tive societies, syndicating their individual
assets, their farm lands, into negotiable
bond. which they offer security for the
credit they desire. This plan has been
in operation in Germany for nearly CEN
fury and a half and has secured for its
members sufficient credit at rate of in
terest lower than is paid in countries and
districts where this system of cO-opera-
ton does not exist.
There is no distinctive system Of rural
credit in America, and in this fact, accord
ing to Mr.. Lubin. lies one of the greatest
handicaps of the American farmer. 1t
is the product of the farm that forms to
a large degree the stock in trade Of the
trusts, and yet the farmer cannot borrow
upon his coming crop, which is, to him,
just as sure an asset as are the goods
upon which the merchant depends to re-
pay the capital he has borrowed to IN
vest in his stock.
There is already SO strong sentiment
regarding the benefits that would be de-
rived from the Raiffeisen in the United
States that a number of the state uni
versities are considering the desirability
of adding the study of the system to
their courses in political economy, and
the University of Nebraska has already
arranged to do so. Owing. however, to the
great value of the southern crops.
especially the cotton crop, together with
the undeveloped conditions which have
until recently existed in the south, and
also because of the fact that when the
farmer devotes his whole activity to one
crop, as most of them do he requires
more cash for supplies, it is the south
ern farmers who have become most
actively interested in the subject. While
diversified farming in the south is being
developed as speedily as possible, there
are yet thousands of farmers who are
devoting their entire land to cotton rails
ing and are therefore compelled to buy
all of their food supplies, which calls for
much larger outlay of cash for sup
plies than is needed in the localities
where most of the food is raised on the
farm.
