A month later Pierce came back and
married Elsie. Three months later
he was jailed for forgery. Afterward
the couple went west. Crawford knew
nothing more of them.
1t is doubtful whether he gave a
thought to this past episode as he
rode five rods north of the American
boundary that snowy December night.
The man he sougat had murdered
Canadian Indian in a saloon brawl
six months before. He had fed north
and east. Crawford was in no hurry.
He might have followed him, but he
knew that he would return, sooner or
later, to his old haunts. He might
have guessed, too. that he would cross
the border. Extradition proceedings
would have proved too complicated for
a man of Crawford's simple methods.
So he waited until he located Johnson
in Chipping, a struggling village run
ming clear across the boundary line.
And then, to his joy, he discovered
that Johnson's cabin was situated
twenty yards inside Canada
The Canadian police do not work
noisily. Crawford made inquiries
about Johnson. He discovered that
he had wife and two babies in Chip
ping That might have made it harder
for some men. but not for Crawford.
At seven in the evening he presented
himself at Mrs. Johnson's door and
confronted-Elsie.
She did not know him at first.
"WoA't you come in?" she asked
courteously. Crawford noticed that
the ten years had told on her She
looked haggard and wretched; the
babies were crying and the inside of
the cottage bore an aspect of ex-
treme poverty. Excusing herself, Elsie
went into the next room and put the
children to bed. Crawford waited.
At any moment, the wife said, John
son might return.
1t seemed an age-it was really ten
minutes-before Mrs. Pierce returned.
She looked at him closely and then
fell back into a chair.
It's you, Donaldi" she whispered
Crawford nodded The man be-
trayed no trace of any emotion what
ever he might have felt
Then she said slowly, you have
come for Tom, / suppose. 1 know you
lowed your life closely since I wrecked
mine.''
Now a flicker of expression ap-
peared upon Crawford's face He an
swered:
Yes, I've come for your husband
and it is my duty to tell you that it

REALISM CARRIED TO EXCESS
Lack of DraPery Would Seem to Have
Furnished Excellent Incentive for
Maternal Slipper.

A mother in Worcester, Mass, who
had orthodox views, had told her chill
dren the Garden of Eden story. The
children were greatly impressed One
afternoon, returning from town, the
mother found the palms and ferns had
disappeared from the veranda. Going
into the darkened living-room she saw
one of the boys, minus clothing, re-
Ginning under big fern, while anoth-
er, equally clothesless, was standing by
a palm They enlightened her by ex-
planning that they were playing Adam
and Eve in the garden.
At that minute her youngest boy,
not three, came into the room as ma
ture had first given him to the world.
except that he wore a silk hat on his
head and carried a cane
And pray who are your" asked the
mother.
The little one looked up at her and
smiled as he said: I am the Lord
bod Almighty walking in the darden
in the tool of the day.

MORE IN LIFE THAN YOUTH
Mature Years Bring Their Joy to
Those Who Approach Them With
the Proper Understanding.

A Grabbed old fellow says that the

looked for all the world just like her
very "swagger'' mother in miniature.

How many people act as though
they thought there was only one lus-
trum of life worth living, all the rest
of their years being a looking forward
or a looking back to that. There is
one decade of life, beginning, let US
say at eighteen on the average, which
offers certain capacities for enjoy
ment that earlier or after years do
not. People who have not outgrown
the ideas and desires of that age are
very unhappy as they are dragged on
and away, and make pitiful efforts on
stay the flight of time. But it shows
simply that their mental and spiritual

physical development, those being

The wonderful achievements
wrought by bacilli cultures and the

The chinch Bugs Are Busy.

''The farmers should prepare to
keep the chinch bugs from their corn
fields" said E. o. G. Kelley, govern
ment entomologist, when asked at
Wichita about the bug situation. The
wheat fields are badly infested with
adult bugs and in some cases they
are damaging the wheat. These old
bugs are laying countless numbers of
eggs on the wheat plants and it will
not be long until the little red hugs
are thick" Mr.. Kelley says the bugs
are not doing much damage at pres
ent but that farmers should examine
their fields.

FIVE SECONDS GRACE
Story of Love and Romance in
the Far Northwest
Territory.
BY HAROLD CHARLES.

It was surprising, the number of
persons who knew Sergeant Crawford,
of the Northwest police Yet each
of these undoubtedly imagined that
he was peculiarly favored in this re-
spect, for the sergeant's duties carried
him over thousands of miles, from the
frozen tundras of the northerly trad
ing station to the townships along the
American boundary And Crawford
stopping places were likewise far
apart. So that each man whom he
honored by spending the night at
his cabin or cottage believed himself
to be special confidant of the police
man.
Crawford was known as the most
successful of that splendid force that
is renowned among all nations. Go
in and get him." says the Canadian
government when a criminal or male
factor is to be arrested. That is all
The policeman sets out; when he
comes back-if he comes back-he
has his man
Because he had never failed, Craw-
ford had been detached from regular
service and placed on special work
He was a man of about thirty-seven-
If he ever smiled, it was the frosty

"A man without heart" they said OF
him. And incorruptible, his superb
ors knew. A fine policeman. every
one acknowledged.
Yet Crawford had had a romance
back in his withered life. 1t hap
pened ten years before, when he was
a young engineer working on the gov
eminent railroad in Northern Ontario
The story was quite simple. Elsie
Dayton was the daughter of the doc
tor there. Crawford had asked her
to marry him and she had told
him of her engagement to Tom Pierce
the ne'er-do-weel son of the big con
tractor who had charge of that section
of the works. Crawford had bowed
and left her. Next day he resigned
his position and entered the police

A RESUME OF INTERESTING oc-
cURRENcES FROM ALL
PARTS OF STATE
DIED WHEN JURY SAID GUILTY
Paul Roberts on Trial at Alma on
Murder Charge Took Poison in
Cell Wien He Heard the
Verdict.

Alone in his unlighted cell under
the jury room at Alma Paul Roberts
heard twelve men discuss the evil
dence in his trial for the murder of
Anthony King.
Then through the thin ceiling that
was between him and the men who
were deciding his. fate he heard the
voice of the foreman as he read off
the results of the ballots.
On the first vote he heard the word
guilty intoned ten times and twice
came hope as the foreman read mot
guilty On the second vote guilty
again was pronounced ten times, but
dom in the two slips upon which was
written mot guilty."
Then came the sound of steps as
the jurors went to the box to deposit
the third ballot That time the fore
man found only one slip that con-
tanned any message of hope for Rob-
erts, while eleven men said he had
shot Anthony King to death from am
bush in the middle of the night.
Since 9 O'Clock at night the jury
had had the case. At the stroke of
midnight came the fourth vote. The
jurymen Roberts and an under sher-
iff were the only persons awake in
the little town.
And on the fourth vote every bal
lot said, guilty
The jury, obeyiag the order OF
Judge R. c. Heiser, sealed it's verdict
and was taken to its hotel to report
at $50 o'clock in the morning. At
o'clock Sheriff Otto Zwangenger went
to Roberts cell to call him. The
prisoner apparently was asleep. The
sheriff called, but got no response
He shook the form and found it limp
in death.
No poison was found in the cell
but it is believed that Roberts swal

John S. Dawson, attorney general OF
Kansas, came to Kansas City and
filed suit in the District Court of
Wyandotte county against the Stew
art-Peck Sand Company to compel an
accounting from the company for all
the sand taken from the Kaw river
during the last ten or twelve years.
The suit is also an Injunction against
the company taking sand from the
Kansas streams until an inspector can
be provided to see that the account

The suit in reality was brought to
forestall any action the sand compa-

federal courts to stop the enforce

enacted by the last legislature.

Decides Against Brewers.

Judge E.. E. Sapp in district Court,
at Columbus decided against the Col
umbia Brewing Company of st. Louis
in its suit to recover car of beer
seized in Carona. April %, by Sheriff
Martin.
Judge Sapp held that though the
car was shipped to Carona with in
structions to notify James Depoh,
since it was shipped by the company
from itself to itself, delivery was
completed when the car reached its
destination and so was subject to
seizure.
