man from photographs in the newspa'

intimate detail concerning him.
1t was unnecessary for Tillinghast to
explain to Mr.. Van Der Pool when he
stepped back to his side that the gentle
man in the car was the Hon. H. H
Judkins, corporation counsel chess ex-
pert, and one OF the richest self-made men
in New York.
But you seemed on rather intimate

face going red
''Scoundrel! Why do you call him

quickly.

Can the Hon. H. II. Judkins help that? p
asked Mr.. Van Der Pool.
I'm OF the opinion he can; IL could
only get at the facts in the case. That's
why l was so pleasant when 1 spoke 10
Judkins just now. He asked me how

We'll, that is interesting cried Mr..
Van Der Pool. Give me the details.
What were you talking about with him?'
"Oh, only social chit-chat. His wife in
vited me to a masquerade at their house
Friday evening. See. there are the cards;
she had them with her, hoping TO get my
new address" He flashed two stylish
invitations before Mr.. Van Der Pool. AT

come handy"
"Oh. 1 haven't the slightest notion of
going" answered Tillinghast promptly,
with a forced laugh. I've lost any So
cial ambition I might ever have had"
"You don't look so bad" said Mr.. Van
Der Pool thoughtfully. Besides, it's a
masquerade; you can rent costume"
He paused, and they walked a block in

Der Pool abruptly, What makes you

"Well, my father sent for me just be-

That evening in Mr.. Van Der POOLS
chambers the two sat long over their
demi tasse, which Blkins served after
the faultless dinner.
Excuse me just a second, TilIing-
hast" said Mr.. Van Der Pool, leaving
the table and stepping into the butler :

clear the table.
'BIlkins," said Mr.. Van Der Pool.
slipping his jeweled watch into his
servants palm, "can you find somebody
who will loan you something on this
watch tonight?'
'I believe I can. SIR" answered the
servant But If you have need of a little
cash I could loan. it to you myself.
without the security of interest, of
course, sir I have saved a little out of
my wages"
"oh. no thanks. Bilkins" answered Mr..
Van Der Pool. You have a hard enough
time getting along without following nv
ups and downs. Please take this out and
try to get 500 on it,
"All right, sir, if you insist, but I
should be pleased to loan you that
amount
Mr.. Van Der Pool left the watch with
his servant and slipped back to Tillinr-
hast.
'If We plan to send you to the Jud-
kin's fancy dress ball Friday night We
must figure on getting your costume
ready" he said.

Mr.. Van Der Pool flushed a little and
pressed the others hand warmly.

he usually used with strangers. but
his tongue failed him. My name is
Paul Van Der Pool" he said. ''and I'm
mighty glad to have met you Mr.. Til

that stuffy hall room tonight, l hope?"
The abrupt question startled Tilling-
hast. he looked away. then answered
honestly. Il don't like to. Honestly, it's
hardly place for fellow to sleep; it's
mighty disagreeable."

Come along with me"
They strolled slowly up Fifth Avenue,
watching the afternoon parade, both of
them had been in that gay throng Of
motors under different conditions and
now both were fiat broke.
Tillinghast suddenly stopped and raised
his hat to a party in A passing limOu-
sine. An elderly man stretching out
amply over the back seat smiled amia-
bly, to the young fellow. ordered his
chauffeur to stop and beckoned Til
linghast to him.

Tillinghast excused himself, stepping to
the curb and standing in CONVEX ation

minutes,

Efficiency vs.. Trimming.
rom the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Governor Hodges of Kansas. who be-
lieves in abolishing the present system
OF large Legislatures-New Hampshire,
for instance, a small State. has the larg-,
est legislative body in the world-has
been airing his views before the House
of Governors at their meeting in Colo
rado, and explaining what he would like
to see done to make his own State an
even more perfect community than it
now is lin his own mind.
81 have proposed to the Kansas Legis-
lature that We have but one house. con-
sisting of not more than sixteen mem
elected from districts, and the rest at
large, with provisions for recall, initia-
tive and referendum All should be elect
ed for terms Of four years. They should
be paid salaries that would enable them
to give their entire time to study of State
affairs" There is a good deal TO be said
for this plan II the only conception of
government is one of absolute efficiency
after the German bureaucratic methods
There is no doubt that a Legislature OF
sixteen trained men could do much bet
ter work than our present unwieldy
bodies with their unnecessary division
into Senate and House. An application
of the same theory would work out
equally well IN cities, and already has
in many where the commission form of
government has been tried. The fact
should not be overlooked, however. that
our present methods, defective as they
often are, have their value in giving our
people a training in representative gov
ernment. The man who goes to the Leg
islature from his district should, il he is
the right sort of person, become a more
valuable citizen and of greater worth TO
his community in solving its problems.
The same should be true of large num-
Der Of other offices. II administered in
the proper spirit they are educating up
ward those who hold them. There is no
doubt that our Legislatures might be cut
down and many offices abolished in the
cause both Of greater efficiency and econ
omy. II may well De questioned, how
ever. whether a certain factor of train
ing in citizenship would not be lost. and
whether this loss would not more than
the gain. The point Is an
one. Kansas. ever fond of
new ideas. might make the experiment

GET READY TO
TRANSFERPLANr
Abstracts of Title Being Prepared on
Property of the Virginia Electric !
Power & Water Company.

Attorneys for the city Of Virginia at
Duluth with City Attorney Morgan are
busy with the work of preparing the
necessary legal documents for the
transfer of the plant of the Virginia
Electric Power & Water company to
the city of Virginia. Mayor Murphy
and the members of the council do not
anticipate that any further legal OBJ
stacles will be interposed and believe
that all the details necessary to the
transaction can be closed up by the
first of October.
The abstracts are now being pre-
pared at Duluth. The task is not an
inconsiderable one. The transfer will
not be completed until the money is
paid over, and the first step will be the
paying over Of the money on the GER
tificates of Indebtedness to the amount
of $4,000 recently authorized by the
council and taken up by the First Ma
tional Bank Of Virginia.
Mayor Murphy stated recently that
there would: be no changes in the
working organization Of the plant for
the present, and that efficiency would
be the only requisite Of the city from
the employees Of the municipal plant.

COOK FARMER
GOOD BOOSTER
Believes in the Future of St. Louis
County Farms and Has the Goods
to Show Why.

Frank Wardas is the owner of
fine farm near Cook, st. Louis county,
and is glad of it. He has several of
the best of reasons to be in that state
of mind. The first of them is that he
has 600 bushels Of the finest No. 3
Carmen potatoes that have ever been
brought to Virginia, grown on two and
one-half acres of ground. The bulk of
his crop has been sold to the Virginia
Store company and N. J. Smith, of
that firm, who makes it point to buy
as much produce as he can handle
from the farmers of this section and
believes in Virginia merchants encour-
aging the farmers, says they are with
out question the finest specimens he
has ever seen on the market in Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Wardas this year cut two crops
of clover from a piece of ground at
his place. It averaged better than
two tons to the acre, and the second
crop was so thick that moving ma
chine would not handle it. It was cut
by hand. Three acres Of wheat at Mr..
Wardas' place yielded him better than
20 bushels to the acre. It will grade
No. 1 Northern. Seven acres of oats
gave an average yield of so bushels
to the acre. The oats will weigh As
pounds to the bushel. Two acres Of
barley are proportionately fine yield.
Mr.. Wardas is a good farmer. He
reads all the farm papers, he studies
the business of farming, and he says
it pays him. He wants all his boys to
be farmers and he says he doesn't ask
any better chance for them than a
