WILL ISSUE AN
ADDITIONAL REPORT
Bureau Of Census Will Yield TO De-
mands For Figures on Cotton
Seed.

Director Harris, of the Bureau of
the Census, finds that there is great
demand for the publication at more
frequent intervals OF statistics con-
corning the consumption of cotton
seed. 1t has been the practice of the
Bureau Of the Census to compile sta.
tistics for this important part of the
cotton crop only twice during the
ginning season. The first report for
the crop of 1912 related to the guam
tity Of cotton seed crushed prior to
January /, 1913. The second report
showed the quantity crushed prior
to March 1, 1913, with an estimate of
the quantity remaining to be crushed
from the crop.
The statistics of cotton seed are
collected in connection with those for
the production of cotton as reported
by the ginners. This is necessary be-
cause the quantity of linters is con-
stantly increasing and forms a much
larger percentage of the total crop
than heretofore.
Mr.. Harris believes that an addi-
tional report showing the quantity OF
seed crushed and Of linters obtained

the girl saw the stranger pass along
for a block, and after halt of three
or four minutes turn and Tetrace his
steps. She drew in her head and
moved back a little and presently
she saw him at the front door OF the
postoffice
u was the village postcffce and
grocery combined, with it's windows
defended by wooden shutters The
man left the shutters alone and gave
all his attention TO the door. II was
certain that he was a robber, and the
girl found herself trembling as she
watched.
There was no Waterman in the
village. and the constable had no
telephone in his house. The county
sheriff was at Medina. eight miles
away, and even IL the girl called him
up he would be too late.
The fellow had the door open IN
five or six minutes and had disap-
peared inside. The night was so still
that the ring of a telephone call
would reach his ears. in which case
he might come running out and take
I revenge. He had only TO come up
an outside stairway 10 be in the Of
/ fee.
On a table in the room sat a glass
bottle in which the other girl had
brought cold tea for her lunch. Miss
/ Nelly promptly picked II up and
{ hurled IL through the open window
halfway across the street. II fell
on the gravel and made a great
smashing noise.
The sounds reached the robbers
ear, and he came out on the run and
was soon out OF sight. He had nc
time TO steal anything. as an exam.
ination next morning showed, but

could recall cough or a frost-bite
the news should at once be forward
ed by telephone.
Mr.. Strother was thaRkful-so
thankful. He intended to devote all
his life to the capture of the red
handed criminal and anything in the
way of a clew would arouse his last
ing gratitude. He would call again
and let her know how the case pro-
crossed.
1t was week later that the sher-
in made gooG his word. He told Miss
Nelly on the quiet that he had had
three deacons, two elders, one min
lister, two poets and a doctor under
surveillance, but couldn't say that
any one OF them was guilty.
Could she remember whether the
robber wore a celIuloid or a linen
collar? Were his finger-naiIs poll
ished or only scraped? When he
came rushing out Of the place did he
give utterance to and remark-an
appeal TO his aged mother-a pro-
fame ejaculation-an expression of
surprise that any one had bottles to
waste?
Miss Nellie had been wanting to
laugh for some time. Now she gig
gled and added Mr.. Strothers. do
you really believe you will ever catch
my robber?"
well, n-n-n-no." he slowly re.
Piled, as he stroked his chin. "No,
Miss Hampton, do not. If 1 catch
you instead l shall be very happy
man"
And 1T was not long before Mist

man he was, and then looked into the
mirror and blushed a trifle Then
she said to herself that it was his
duty to get all the information he
could to lead to an arrest; and ii
certainly was her duty to aid him.
Two days later the sheriff appear
ed again. He had heard of a mys-
FERROUS man on horseback. Did this
robber first appear mounted on horse
or mule? Did he dismount and hitch
his horse to a post like an honest
farmer? Did he mount again when
departing?
Miss Nelly was sure that he ar
rived and departed on foot She was
so sure that she smiled at his ques-
ton.
Did she think he belonged TO the
Black Hand, or was a straight-hair-
ed American working the job on the
American plan?
Really, now, but come TO think it
over there was something in his gait
to remind her of a highland Scotch
man, but she didn't feel like say.u-
that he was one.
No, OF course not; but the detail
was valuable. Would she say, from
the robbers gait, that he had ever
suffered amputation Of the toes or
heels, on account OF Prostitutes? Did
| he have a cough? II so, was 1t an
asthmatic cough? He, the sheriff,
knew Of grocer in his town who
had an asthmatic cough, and per-
haps hefwas the criminal

no frost-0ites, and she had taken
no notice of G cough OF any sort or
kind. She would 90 over the Incl

Just so, Miss Hampton-just
so. You have been very, lucid in
your descriptions, but I may have to
see you again"
When he had departed, Miss Nelly
wondered why he would have to see
her again and the thought was rath-
er pleasant than otherwise.
In couple Of days he brought a
lame old tramp over for her to iden-
tify. The Weary couldn't have run
a rod TO save his neck. No; he was
not the man, and he was turned loose
and told to go west and found a
town.
This was not all, however.
Would you say that the robher
had had the idea in mind for some
timer" bIandly asked the sheriff.
Miss Nelly couldn't be sure.
Did he have on goggles, or only
plain spectacles?"
She couldn't positively say.
Did he have a finger or thumb
missing from either hand?"
He might have had.
His eyebrows? Did Miss Nelly no
tice them particularly? If the right
man with the right eyebrows. be
brought before her could she identi-
f. him and them?
She was doubtful.
Very we'll, Miss Hampton. You
have given me many valuable clews

on your ccolness and bravery"
Why should the sheriff want tC

her own feelings, but the sheriff
looked as wise as an owl. as he said:
