Kayton lightly. The lawyer slowly sank
into the chair, never taking his eyes on
Kayton's face. The latter swung his chair
sround so as to directly face his visitor
Mr. Hurley" he inquired pleasantly
did you ever try lawsuit?
Mr. Hurley started and stamnered
slightly as he answered
'T'm--er-I'm an office lawyer,
OH mur1nured kayton He eyed the
lawyer and the lawyer stirred uneasy.
"Mr Hurley" asked the detective quiet
ly, when did it first occur to you that Mi
Argyle was out Of his mind"
Mr. Hurley raised his eyes and met the
detectives squarely
II don't get you he said slowly
You will" was the grim assurance
You surely didn't think you'd interest
a man in his position-a millionaire in
scheme for promoting counterfeiting, II he
was in his right mind.
Mr. Hurley was silent for moment,
but he no longer looked Disconnected. He
knew now why he had been brought TO
Kayton's office He gripped himself to
fight for his life.

entrusted TO me we're private and con

retorted Kayton.
Mr.. Hurley achieved an excellent APP
pearance of righteous anger suppressed.

Kayton handed him the last page Of
the fake confession.

quired. With hand that trembled not
the slightest the lawyer adjusted his eye
glasses and studied the document
"As you saw in the morning papers"
continued Kayton, erimly-"before you
packed your bag-we arrested your
friends last night and confscated all their
counterfeit money-all except the hun

that her confession Of what occurred be

AS IL he had paid but scant attention
10 Kayton's words, the lawyer tossed the
paper back on to the desk.
IT'S a ID lie ne said coolly. That's
all a fake-to protect herself
'"Then you mean to say that Mrs Mar

Argyle demanded Kayton swiftly.
That's exactly what ! mean to say
returned Mr.. Hurley. II had no Connec-
ton with these people whatever

tanned by him"-he hesitated.
For what purpose?" demanded Kayton
For perfectly legitimate purpose"
replied the lawyer. This woman thought
she had a claim on Mr.. Argyle-and she
was trying to get money

Kayton laughed short, unpleasant

Hints F or the
Household

The following is an excellent recipe
for shortbread:
The ingredients required are ounces
fine sugar, / ounce rice flour ounces
butter ounces sifted sugar. Wash
butter in cold water, working it well
with a knife to get salt Out). and dry
/ it in the corner of a clean cloth. Mix
flour. rice flour and sugar together
knead butter into flour until the whole
| is in one lump. Press out into u fiat
cake, pinch edges neatly, and prick top
with Il fork. Pin band of paper round
to keep the cake from spreading Bake
about half an hour in a moderate oven
CocOanut ice is always well received
and a good method of making it is as
follows:
Boil l pound of loaf or castor sugar
with half a pint of milk or water for 20
minutes, stirring well; then remove
from the fire and add about ounces
of desiccated Cocoanut. If it is to be
into bars pour half into an oiled tin
or dish, color the remainder with car
mine or cochineal, and spread over the
white layer. If desired, the ice may be
nodded into balls or other shapes when
it has cooled little. instead of being
made into the cake or bar form
Fruit stains on tablecloths can usual
ly be removed by stretching the stained
part across a basin and pouring boiling
water to which a little borax has been
added, directly on it. Then wiring it
out, reverse the piece, and pour more
water on the other side. This plan is
most effective.
If suet be melted down in the oven
and put into jars, it will keep for any
length of time, and is much better to
chop up if done in this way. Pud-
dings will keep better if made with
suet that has been melted in the oven.

1928 inclusive with q side trip on
the Mississippi rendered by courtesy
of the board of trade of that city as

seems to be determined this year to
hold it aud quite a gathering of the

Mrs. CYNTHIA J. NELSON BALL.

w. d. Ball and called home to live
with the shining angels his loving
wife, Cynthia. They we're married

youngest being years and 8 months
old. She leaves 10 grandchildren,
4 half sisters, Mesdames HIT. James,
S. A. Ball, Katie McInnis and Miss
Stella Williams.
She was a member of the NJ p.
Church, and was a faithful member,
was always obedient to her husband
aud a loving mother to her children.
She was afflicted with cancer for
about 2 years. Her community and
faithful husband and doctors did all
that loving hands and praying hearts
could do but to no avail. The Lord
reached down from on high and took
her to live in that glorious home a.

this precious mother is only waiting
inside the pearly gateway to welcome
her loved ones home.
Twas hard to give her up but our
loss is Heavens gain. The prayers
of this precious mother were often

children. She looked up about 3
hours before she died and asked ME

Through every husband tree,
Where my dear mother sleeping,
Away from home and me.

DiIatory Court Tactics Rsbuksd.

N. o. Times-Democrat.
Legal procedure may be reformed
materially it was long ago evident,
without invoking the aid of Legisla-
lures. In several states the Supreme
courts, according to reports publish
ed during the past two or three years,
have thrown over technical devices
to defeat the administration of JUS
tice by simply refusing to reverse
cases upon technical pleas possessing
no other merit than ingenuity. The
Supreme Court of the United States
accomplished sweeping reforms of
procedure in the Federal courts, by
reversing the rules governing one
branch of practice in those courts.

the argument which the Mississippi
Secret Caucus did not have: that
there is different and well organic
ed other party represented IN con-

every weakness which a raised cur

to the American people to know what
their elected representative servants
are doing in lawmaking bodies tran

One of our exchanges, the Bald
wyn Journal, in commenting upon
the recent several big damage suits,
instigated in Mississippi suggests
that such has become a kind of man
ia or eperdemic. Possibly the over
crowding of the legal profession in
Mississippi accounts for some Of
this. There are legitimate damage
suits and there are others that are
but process OF extortion levied a.
gainst those who happen to have
means or whose capital is invested
in public utilities or industrial
plants. The Barber scandal illus
trates this statement. May the time
speedily come IN the Magnolia state
when such specie of unprincipled
holdup practice of the well-to-do will
not be tolerated either by the bar
associations or courts. Those who
are injured in body or reputation or
suffer property loss by the neglect
or uniastifable action of others.
should have redress in the courts,
but be it whom it may, corporation
Or ordinary capitalist or wealthy cit
izen. there should be some better
defined demarcation lines declaring
the possibilities for such legal at
lacks than now seem to exist in our
statutory law.

The Middle Buster. published at
Hickory by our legislator-friend, N.
NJ. Everett reaches our exchange Ia
BILE this week. This paper succeeds
the one which Everett ran during
the memorable senatorial campaign
two years bt.ck and which was much
in the forefront of that hard fought
battle to elect a man close to the peo-
pie. OF course Everett was on the
Vardaman side then as he is always
on the side of keeping the govern
ment close to those for whom it is
made and should be perpetuated.
The name of his present paper as
sumes rather a large task but Ever
EFT is an engine of energy when it
comes to putting in ticks for any
thing he tackles and doubtless be
will be able to show results some
what corresponding to the kind of
newspaper plow whose handles be
has grasped and whose keen point
he will guide into the hard places
and make noticeable burrows.

Playing at Making Good Roads Must Stop

Senatobia Democrat.
The time has come when unsclen-
tifc patching of country roads ought
to cease. The farmer needs a good
road great deal more than the
pleasure driving automobilists. To
the latter a bad road means a little
discomfort. To the farmer it means
many hours of time wasted while he
draws his load through the sloughs
of mud. It means that be must keep
more horses and that his beasts OF
burden will wear out quicker. Let
every farmer insist that the road
officials of his neighborhood do mod
ern, scientific work.

A discussion which bids fair to
reach from one end OF the state to
the other, has been opened by the
Winona Times, and that is as the
advisability or public necessity for
having publication made OF board OF
supervisors proceedings. The pres
ent law makes it optional with the
supervisors to publish their proceed
ing. The present legislature in its
1912 session came very near passing
a law making such publishing man
datory and if this discussion is press
ed far enough at this time and when
they go into session again, will
likely crystalize into law. And such
law should provide that either such
publication be made in a periodical
with a well established circulation,
or else that publication be made
jointly by the several newspapers in
county and that they divide the
money calculated upon fair legal
rate to be named, such division to be
based upon the prorata circulation.
That is the paper with the largest cir
culation would receive larger share
of the fees for such publishing because
it would be going to larger NAM
Der of payers with the official
news. Cut throat competition be-
tween the several county newspa-
pers. as we'll as provision against
favoritism with county organs should
be eliminated by the bill to be drawn
SO that as much as possible to make
for free and untrammelled press
neither hampered with journalistic
jealousies nor supervisors expecta-
tons for trucking. No newspaper
to do its duty fearlessly should be
borne down by such influences, and
no county If it knows its own inter-
ests can well afford to see its press
tempted to don such bride bits.
