convinced that there was a good
deal to MOrrissey's theory.
There were two reasons why Long
Toms line Of argument appealed to
the newspaper man. In the first
place. he saw the ingredients of an
other bangup story for The Geor-
gian. and in the second place At
lanta had opened to be insufferably
hot just ct that time and he was
casting about for an excuse to get
away from the Office for a brief pc
riod.
Farnsworth put in the evening
learning all there was to learn about
Forrest Cain, and then laid wires to
keep covered on the movements OF
that person. His method of proce-
dure was to get in touch with Whis-
ky Cnot the alcoholic beverage, but
the colored man employed by the At
lanta Baseball Club Whisky, being
a somewhat important parsonage
among his Coterie, fixed things up so
that Farnsworth, through devious
channels that led up to George, the
colored valet of Cain, would receive
6aily reports of the man he was trail
ing, and in addition he would be in
formed whenever Cain was to leave
town Then. having arranged things
at his Office, he laid back and waited
for something to break.

On Cain s Trail.

Farnsworth had not long to wait.
Four days after he set out to run
down the Forrest Cain clew he re-
ceived word through his underground
route that the man under suspicion
would leave town next morning by an
early train, destination unknown.
Farnsworth sat in a taxicab sta
toned within 100 feet Of Gains home
from until $3.50 o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning before Cain issued
forth, without bag or baggage, and,
jumping into his car, which had been
sent around from the garage, was
driven to the depot. The newspaper
man followed along behind, but vas
not quick enough to reach the ticket
office in time to learn Gains destna-
ton He trailed his man into a pas
senger coach and dropped into a seat
ten feet behind him
The train started and the conduc-
tor began his pilgrimage to collect
fares. Not knowing where he was
going, FGrnsworth paid cash fare
from station to station and before
long he had a pocket full of rebate
slips. They travelled several hours
before Cain made a move. Then he
alighted at a small place Farnsworth
had never heard Of Just as the train
started again the newspaper man
jumped off and, lighting a cigarette,
kept his eyes on his man He saw
Cain go up to a Cracker who was
holding a horse by the bride. After
few words with him. Cain mounted
the animal and rode off up the road.
Farnsworth debated a moment with
himself and then approached the man
who had been holding the horse. He
was now leaning against a telegraph
pole with his hands in his pockets.
Where does that road lead tor" he
asked.

No Chance to Escape.

Next morning Gordon had more Of a
chance TO stretch himself. The fetter
was removed from his leg. and after
breakfast he was taken outdoors and
allowed to do as he pleased within
certain limits The place the noun
taineers had chosen to take him was
situated in kind Of cup or hollow in
the hills. It was effectually concealed.
and there was no chance Of their being
discovered unless someone should in
adyertently stumble on their hiding
place. Figuring on this possibility
Gordon told himself there was but one
chance i'm million of anyone finding
the place by accident off i'm the
mountain country. several miles from
"a road that was almost never used cx-
cept between the mansion and Pew
Station, he was as much a prisoner as
though he were on some desert island.
His captors took absolutely no
chance Of his escaping. Wherever he
went within the limits pointed out to
him by the black bearded man. he was
followed, as the ringmaster, long whip
in hand, follows the performing horses
in a circus, by one Of the four men
holding a gun ready for instant ac-
| tion. At intervals Gordon would try
to start a conversation, but he did all
the talking. Never were such silent
men as the mountaineers proved to be.
He could get absolutely no explana-
ton as to why he was being held a

Free range builds the strong pullet

But for table poultry unlimited range
is not good, as the constant exercise
toughens the sinews, retards fattening
and the meat is not so juicy nor well
favored.
That is why chickens confined and
fattened in crates and market ducks
kept on small areas finish go quickly

a higher price than farm stock fed and

For layers unlimited range is not so

O-W. R. & n. READY
FOR BIG BUSINESS


orde, ed by the O-W. R. & N. Co.
in anticipation of a heavy demand
for cars to move the large crops
this fall, are now being turned out
by the car builders and are arriving
at the various reserve stations of
that company in Oregon and Wash
ington at the rate of so cars a day.
The delivery began on August l and
the entire 1000 cars will probably
be ready for use before the harvest.
With this order Of 1000 new
cars" says F. W, Robinson, Assist
ant Traffic Manager, and an ad
ditional 1000 just delivered to the
Union Pacific, we are confident
that we will have plenty of rolling
stock for all emergencies this year.
The greatest need for cars in
crop-moving time is about the mid
die of October. AS delivery of all
the new rolling stock will be made
by September /, we expect to be
ready for any contingency.
The new box cars are all 40
feet long and of 100000 pounds
capacity. This is the standard size
adopted by the company.
The Pacific Fruit Express has
also ordered 1000 additional refrig-
orator cars, which will bring its total
number to 5000. This will greatly
facilitate the moving of the fruit
CROP"
At present the O w. R. & N. Co.
is arranging for the parking of
freight cars at points where they
will be quickly available after the
harvest.
A most favorable omen in con-
nection with the important problem
of car supply is the better under
standing that now prevails among
shippers in general in the matter of
capacity loading and reduction to
minimum of lost time in loading
and unloading.
To bring this about most per-
sistent and far reaching propaganda
has been conducted throughout the
year, not only by railroad traffic
departments in the way of direct
instructions to agents, but by traffic
bureaus in all the large commercial
centers, and by the Bureau of Rail-
way Economics at the National cap
ital till it is fairly safe to say that
every shipper and agent in the land
is alive to its Importance. 1t is be-
lieved that the indifference and
thoughtlessness of past seasons will
be supplanted this year and in flu
ture by hearty cooperation, and
that car shortage, except on extras
ordinary occasions, will be largely
obviated.

RANGE FOR CHICK GROWTH.

Wide range works magic with chicks.
It's quick grower. Out there in the
fields and the orchards they get bone,
feather, blood, muscle and stamina
producer in bugs, worms, clover, grass,
seeds and exercise in fresh air, and
this combination means perfect diges-
ton and assimilation Of the wide va
rfety Of food afforded.
1t Is not only the way to get quick,
strong growth, but it's the cheapest
