Wv covered chair In the little
sitting room he gaZed into
the Pickering fire with a feeling of
strange excitement
lie could hear Bivens giving orders
to his employees about the removal of
his millions to the vaults below. 1t
would take hours to complete the task.
He could hear the deep vibrant ring Of
the gold, as the men dumped it into
bags.
As he listened TO the curious sound
he began dimly TO realize that the
foundations Of his life and character
were being undermined There could
be no mistake about 1t, although he
had made some brave talk to Bivens'
face as he stared at the daring display
of his money.
He lifted his eyes from the fire and
they rested on an exquisite miniature
Of Nan which had been painted just
after her marriage. He forgot the ten
black years Of loneliness and struggle.
He was standing before her again in
all the pride and strength Of those last
days of passionate longing and bitter
rebellion. His heart gave q throb of
fierce protest against the fate that had
robbed him OF the one thing on earth
he had ever really desired. He tried
In vain to separate her from the strug-
gle Of character and principle he was
fighting with Bivens.
When Bivens entered he found his
tall figure bent low IN the chair and a
scowl on his face. The little black eyes
sparkled with the certainty OF victory.
He knew the poison was at work and
its wine had found the soul
"Now, jim. down to business! You
can see that have the cash. What
! must have to do the big thing I've
dreamed Is a right hand man whom
II can trust with my IIpney, my body
and my soul. He must be a man with
brains and farseeing eyes. A man
who will fight to the death and be loyal
with every breath, who will work
day and night, a man of iron nerve,
iron muscle and heart OF steel Come
in with me, Jim, for all you're worth,
with all your brain and with and per-
sonallty, without single reservation,
and I'll give you partnership of one
fourth interest IN my annual income,
and I'll guarantee that It shall never
be less than a million year."
Stuart sprang to his feet and stared
at Bivens, gasping.
"You mean this-are you eerious7 I
expected the offer Of a generous salary,
4 Cal, but this is simply stunning"
II told you I'd make yOu a PROPOSE
4 ton 80 big and generous you couldn't

apple BEARING TREES.
Virginia Has as Many as California,
Washington ond Oregon.

Richmond, Va, May 10. = The
Southern home-seeker says Vir-
GINA is almost as enthusiastic over
apples as Oregon. Fortunes are be-
ing made on land that was consider
ed almost valueless a few years ago.
One old man has little orchard
which he farms out 10 a company
that does all the work and pays him
$4,000 for the apples on The trees.
The only expense to him is the taxes.
Offers as high as one thousand
dollars an acre for bearing orchards
are being made. One man sold his
crop of fruit from four acres for 81
500. There is a single tree in
Nelson county which is repu;ed 20
have yie.led over 500 worth of pip
pins in one crop.
A prominent orchardlst, living
near Roanoke, in the Bear Creek
country, as it is called, sold his l9o9
crom from 800 trees for $4,000 cash,
on the trees, this being at the rte OF
5000 an acre. In Virginia it is GUS
tomary to indicate the size of or
chards by the number of srees and
not be the acreage, as the land IS
often so rough thai, regular planting
is impossible.
So much for the profits in apples.
Let il be understood, however, mat
they are not to be won except by
hard work, the application of we'll
established principles, plus common
sense, and the expenditure of some
capital. The location is the first
consideration; but that assumes less
Importance if one remembers that
there are varieties that will grow al
most anywhere.
A rough hillside, quiee unfit for
growing general crops, is often ad-
mirably adopted to orcharding. Val
levs are to be Stunned as rule, be-
cause the frost settles in the low
places. Cold air falls, as everyone
knows. so that an orchard on the
hillside may be passed over by the
spring freezes while only fifty feet
lower suffers severely. 4 north
slope is better, generally, than a
southern one, because she buds sc:
less sunlight and are not started into
growing so carly in the spring.

VIRGINIA IS LOSER.
Judge Scott Decides Against Auditor
in Suit Brought by Norfolk
City Sergeant.

Richmond, May 19.-Judgc Scott
of the City Circuit Court decided
against State Auditor Moore in tbs
suit brought against him some time
ago by ]. F. Lawler, City Sergeant
of Norfolk, to compel the Auditor to
pay him certain fees.
Under an old statute the sergeants
have been allowed so cents for every
prisoner locked in Jail. Under a
more recent statute the Auditor held
that when officers are paid by their
cities or counties they are not en-
titled to fees from the state.
Judge Scots decision will of
course, be of great interest to city
and county sheriffs all over Virginia,
who, unless the Supreme Court holds
otherwise, will continue to receive
their 50-cent fees until the fe sys-
TEN is abolished by the Legislature.

WIVES OUTLINE HUSBANDS

From the New York Times.
Why are there twice as many widows
as widowers in the United States?
Is 1t because widows are more reluct-
ant than widowers to re-enter the mar
ried state, or does it indicate that the
wife will outlive the husband?
These questions were asked in a
statement dealing with national mortal
ity issued by the conservative department
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society,
which continued:
'In 1910 there were 3176,22S widows and
but 1,471,39 widowers in the United
States. The census shows the astonish-
ing fact that there were 1O,261 widows
below the age of 20 and but lilo widowers
ITO what extent does the fact that the
average age of the husband is a little
higher than that of the wife account
for this?
From the age of 20 to q there were
55,354 widows and but 1856 widowers
and the difference continues to marked
degree throughout the older age periods
ITO every 100 widowers there were 264
widows in 1890, 231 in 1900. and 215 in 1910
'Such statistics as are available show
that the death rate of husbands is higher
than that of wives, and 1t is still higher
among widowed Males
