One of the Most Thrilling Moments Great

knowledge of its existence.
So now, on the day of Mary Turner'S s
trial, there was subtle gayety OF
gossipings to and fro through the
store. The girls plight was like a
shuttlecock driven hither and yon by
the battledores of many tongues. II
was the first time in many years that
one of the employees had been thus
accused of theft. Shoplifters were
so common as to be a stale topic.
There was refreshing novelty in
this case, where one of themselves
was the culprit. Her fellow workers
chatted desultorily of her as they
had opportunity and complacently
thanked their gods that they were
not as she-with reason. Perhaps a
few were kindly hearted enough to
feel a touch of sympathy for this
ruin of life.

Of the executive staff, who did not
hesitate to speak his mind, though
none too forcibly AS for that,
Smithson, while the possessor of a
dignity nourished by years of floor
walking, was not given to the hold
ing of vigorous opinions. Yet his
comment, meager as it was, stood
wholly in Mary's favor. And he
spoke with certain authority, since
he had given official attention to the
girl
Smithson stopped Sarah Edwards
Mr.. Gilder's private secretary, as she
was passing through one of the de-
partments that morning, to ask her
| if the owner had yet reached his
office
Been and gone was the secre-
tary's answer, with the terscness
Characteristic of her.
"Gone" Smithson repeated, evi-
IDENTIFY somewhat disturbed by the
information. Il particularly wanted
to see him"
He'll be back, all right" Sarah
vouchsafed, amiably. "He went
down town to the court of general
sessions. The judge sent for him
about the Mary Turner case"
"Oh, yes, | remember now,'
Smithson exclaimed Then he add
ed, with trace of genuine feeling
Il hope the poor girl gets off. She
was a nice girl-quite the lady, yor
know, Miss Edwards"
No, I don't know" Sarah re-
joined, "a bit tartly. Truth TO tell
the secretary was haunted by grin
suspicion that she herself was not
quite the lady of her dreams anc

graces of the We're de We're. Fol
Sarah, while a most efficient secre.
tary, was not. in her person of thai
slender elegance which always char.
actcrized her favorite heroines in the
novels she affected. On the con
trary, she was of sort to have graf

twinge of envy that the accused
girl had been Of an aristocratic slim

was the fruit of floor walking po

ing into which he had been betrayed
and made haste to recover his usual
business manner, as he continued
formally:
"Will you please let me know
when Mr. Glider arrives? There
are one or two little matters l wish
to discuss with him"
"All right" Sarah agreed briskly,
) and she hurried on toward the pri-
vate office.
The secretary was barely seated at
her desk when the violent opening
of the door startled her, and as she
looked up a CHEEKY voice cried out:
Hello, dadp'
AT the same moment young man
entered with an air of care-free as
surance, his face radiant But, as his
glance went to the empty armchair
at the desk, he halted abruptly, and
his expression changed to one of
disappointment
"Not herel" he grumbled Then
once again the smile was on his lips
as his eyes fell on the secretary, who
had now risen to her feet in a futter
of excitement.
why, Mr.. Dickp' Sarah gasped
Hello, Sadiew came the genial
salutation. The young man advanced
and shook hands with her warmly.
I'm home again. Where's dad?"
Even as he asked the question the
quick SOLDERING of his face bore wit
ness to his disappointment over not
finding his father in the office. For
such was the relationship Of the
owner of the department store to
this new arrival on the scene. And
in the patent chagrin under which
the son now labored was to be found
a certain indication of character not
to be disregarded Unlike many a
child, he really loved his father. The
death of his mother years before
had left him without other oppor-
tunity for affection in the home,
since he had neither brother nor
sister. He loved his father with a
depth of feeling that made between
| the two a real camaraderie, despite
great differences in temperament In
that simple and sincere regard which
he bore for his father the boy re-
vealed heart ready for love, will
ing to give of itself its best for the
one beloved. Beyond that as yet
there was little to be said Of him
with exactness. He was spoiled
child of fortune, if you wish to have
it SO. Certainly he was only drone
in the worlds hive. Thus far he
had enjoyed the good things of life
without ever doing aught to deserve
them by contributing in return
save by his smiles and his genial air
of happiness.
In the % years of his life every
gift that money could lavish had
been his. If the sum total of benefit
was small, at least there remained
the consoling fact that the harm was
even less. Luxury had not sapped
the strength of him. He had not
grown vicious, as have so many of
his fellows among the sons of the
rich. Some instinct held him aloof
from the grosser vices. His were
the trifing faults that had their
origin chiefly in the joys Of life,
which manifest occasionally in riot
Gus extravagancies, of sort actu-
ally to harm none, however absurd
and useless they may be.
SO much one might see BY a
glance into the face. He was well
groomed, of course; healthy, all a.

clear eyes. which avoided no mans
gaze nor sought any woman's I'M

debased. Through all his days Dick

CHAPTER III
Only Three Years

When at last the owner of the
store entered the office his face
showed extreme irritation. He did
not vouchsafe any greeting to the
secretary, who regarded him with
an accurate perception of his mood.
With diplomacy born of long ex-
perience, in her first speech Sarah
afforded an agreeable diversion to her
employers line of thought.
Mr.. Hastings of the Empire store
called you up, Mr.. Glider, and asked
me to let him know when you re-
turned. Shall get him on the wire?"
The mans face lightened instantly
and there was even the beginning Of
a smile on his lips as he seated hirn-
self at the great mahogany destx-
Yes. yesr' he exclaimed. with 6v1-
dent enthusiasm. The smile grew In
the short interval before the connec-
tion was made. When finally he ad-
dressed his friend over the telephone
his tones were Of the cheerfulest.
"Oh, good morning. Yes. certainly.
Four will suit me admirably.
Sunday? Yes, If you like. We can
go out after church and have lunch
con at the country club"
After listening moment he
laughed in a pleased fashion that had
in 1t a suggestion of conscious su-
periority. My dear fellow he de-
clared bfiskly, you couldn't beat
me in thousand years. Why. made
the IS holes in go only last week.
He laughed again at the answer
over the wire, then hung up the re-
ceiver and pushed the telephone aside
as he turned his attention to the
papers neatly arranged on the desk
ready to his hand.
The curiosity of the secretary
could not be longer delayed.
What did they do with the Turner
girl?" she inquired in an elaborately
casual manner.
Glider did not look up from the
heap of papers. but answered rather
harshly. while once again his express
sion grew forbidding.
Il don't know couldn't wait" he
said. He made a petulant gesture as
he went on:
II don't see why Judge Lawior
bothered me about the matter. He
| is the one to impose sentence. not L
am hours behind with my work
now"
For few minutes he gave himself
up to the routine of business, dis
tributing the correspondence and
/ other various papers for the action of
subordinates and speaking his orders
occasionally to the attentive secre-
! tary with a quickness and precision
that proclaimed the capable execu-
| tive. The observer would have real
ized at once that here was a man OBJ
| viously fitted to the control OF large
affairs The ability that marches in
evitably to success showed unmis-
| takably in the face and form and in
| the fashion of speech. Edward Gid
er was big man physically. the pos
| SCISSOR Of that abundant vital energy
which is prime requisite for
achievement in the ordering of mod
! ern business concerns. Force was,
indeed, the dominant quality of the
man. His tall figure was proportion
| ately broad and he was heavily
neshed-in fact the body was too
| ponderous.

ture of MaIariaI Carrying
Species"

At present an investigation is
being made in NorthL ouisiana as
to the relation Of the malaria con-
veying mosquito to agricultural
and industrial conditions. These
investigations, which are directed
by the United States Bureau OF
Entomology, are being carried on
by Prof. d. l.. Vandine. who has
for the past two weeks been on
the plantation oft he MAXWELL
Yerger Company ut Mounds. La.
Professor Vandire is especially
engaged in the study OF prophy.
Tactics of the malaria which pre-
walls in the swamp regions of the
South. This investigation was
especially authorized by the
government with a view to ascer-
tanning the exactscientific relation
of malaria to agricultural indus
tries. and the possible means for
the control Of the malaria
transmitting mosquito. Prof.
Vandine will probably remain in
North Louisianafur several weeks
longer, az he is making a most mi
mute and thorough investigation.
He is man of years Of expert
ence, and only recently was sent
into a foreign land to make inves-
legations for the government. He
has visited persons suffering from
malaria in the locality where he is
now stationed, and secured
statements and local data as to
the possible cause OF their illness.
The Government s general theor-
les in this connection, as to the
life and habits of the mosquito,
and its power to spread disease.
have been so well investigated in
other connections. that it is now
the desire to get this important
data for scientific purposes.
From Mr. Geo. Yersger, who
was in the city yesterday morn
ing, it was learned that Prof.
Vandine is so far, not very mucf
pleased with the investigations
which he has made. 1t is no
known whether lie will visit Other
localities after leaving the Max
we'll places. or will return direc
, from there to Washington

The following from Kansas far
mers indicates that the prophesy
made some weeks ago by the Jour-
nal il being fulfilled.
''Plans proposed by the Fed.
eral government as an aid to the
farmer were declared valueless
80 far as the planter is concerned
in reports and resolutions adopted
at the opening session to-day Of
the Farmers National Edu-
cational and Cooperative ASS
ociations' annual meeting. The
plan OF the Treasury Department
to place money in various banks
to aid in moving crops was espe.
.cially criticised. The legislative
committee, in its report, which
was adopted declared that 'it
could not see a single benefit in
1.-THE crop aid plan.
'The committee commended
that the result Of the plan would
be that money would not be loaned
TO the farmer to enable him to
market his crop gradually TO meet
demands Of trade, but would put
more money in the hands OF
spectators to buy crops from
farmers forced to sell because they
could not get money! ''The
administration currency bill was
scored on the ground that it woulc
force farmers to sell at harves
time and that speculation would
follow,
lone resolution adopted asked
Congress not to allow further
appropriations for bulletin ser.
vice which nobody reads but tc
give more appropriations TO
farmers'interests.' The establish
ment of a national marketing
bureau was urgedin another reso
luton approved by the conven
ton.

1T was suggested that tn
