doctors or ambulanees are exempted
from speed or traffic regulations. The
case against c.. s. Hamilton, who was
arrested for turning across the middle
of a street into an alley, was dismissed
on the ground that he had a right to
turn into the alley, as it is a common
thoroughfare.
Mrs. r. P. Boise was arrested Satur-
day for leaving her auto standing on
the street without parking. The ma
chine was left, it is stated in the COM
plant, more than 30 minutes without
parking it against the curb
1t is expected that when council con-
venes this evening there will be several
petitions presented asking for the re-
voking of the ordinance as it now
stands. The measure is claimed to be
cumbersome, dangerous in operation,
and not likely to produce the results
desired Several petitions were circul-
ated last week by citizens who believed
the ordinance foolish and illogical.
That some sort of traffic regulation is
needed for the city of Salem the bust
ness and auto owners do not deny, but
they believe such regulation should be
reasonable.

ty is $S7. In 1913 the average monthly
salary for male teachers in this county

In Columbia county the average num-
ber of days of public school taught was
1868. This is the highest of any coun-
ty of the state. Marion county aver
aged l45 days both in 1913 and 1914
This year few of the counties aver
aged $50 days of school and one or
two l4S days, but the general average

CHRISTY MATHEWSON
FOOLS THE PROPHETS
They Predicted Five Years Ago He Had
Reached the Limit and Would
Soon Have to Retire.
rs PITCHING GREATEST
BALL IN GAMES HISTORY
Charley White 10 to Favorite in
His Match With Azevedo- o-Beav-
ers Have Chance for Pennant.
By Hal Sheridan.

New York, Aug, 3.--About five years
ago close followers of baseball started
predicting the finish of Christy Math,
ewson, the backbone of the New York
Giant pitching staff. He was referred
to as an old man. and another year,
they said, would see him relegated to
the has-been class.
A glance over the pitching records
of the National league, however, will
show that the men who predicted the
passing of Matty were not prophets
or sons of prophets. At present he is
leading the league with a record of Is
games won and five lost. AS matter
OF fact, Mathewson s twirling is re.
sponsibe for the Giants high position
in the pennant race.
Demaree and Marquard have been un.
able to strike their 1913 form and this
is the principal reason for the Giants
being only four games ahead of Chi.
cagO.
National league players say Mathew
son is pitching better ball this season
that at any time for the past five years.
His famous tadeaway, they say, is
breaking better than ever, and when
1t comes to outguessing the opposing
batsman, Matty is the peer of all
twrlers.
Mathewson, McGraw says, along with
Hans Wagner, the famous Pittsburg
are the two wealthiest play.
ers in baseball Wagner is said to be
worth close to $25O,OOO, and Matty is
not far behind. Both have saved their
money and made shrewd investments.
McGraw declares tnat Matte is good
for five years yet, and that he would
not trade him for any three players
in the league.

Below are given the results Of
analysis of second cutting alfalfa
hay grown in the Mesilla valley. This
hay would probably have been grad
ed as No. in quality. Choice alfal-
ia shows u greater percentage Of
protein and fat.
Experiments were made ON three
yenr-old steers, to determine the per-
centnge OF nutrients digested by them
when fed this alfalfa, and these re-
suits ARE also reported below. For
comparison, the analysis Of alfalfa
of apparently about the same quality
grown in Colorado is given, together
with the coefficient Of digestion for
sheep, as determined at the Colorado
Experiment Station.
Choice first cut alfalfa would UNI
doubtedly show a higher percentage
digested by both sheep and steers,
both animals having equal digestive
powers. The fact that wild range
steers, unused to confinement, were
used in the digestion tests with New
Mexico alfalfa undoubtedly lowered
the percentage Of digestibility.

StuTCus CIV. $500 -"o'c'
There seems to be variety OF
opinions about the amount OF injury
caused by rain on alfalfa hay. At
the Colorado station it was found
that a rainfall Of 1A inch showed a
loss of more than one-third OF the
crude protein and one-seventh Of the
carbohydrates, and gain OF about
twelve per cent crude fiber. Their
experiments showed that tepid water
dissolves forty per cent Of choice
third cut alfalfa.
Il is thus seen that cured alfalfa
hay contains a large portion OF its
nutrients in a form soluble in water.
and heavy rains may remove nearly
half of the nutrients and that por-
ton that is in the most digestlbl'
form.

CHAPTER XIV,
Good News.

Good News.
In the garden of the chateau of
VIcques, where the stiff, gray stone
vases spilled again their hearts blood
or scarlet and etching OF vines; where
the two stately lines of them led down
to the sundial and the round lawn-on
one OF the grifiin-supported stone seats
Alike and Pietro sat, where Alike and
FRANCOIS had sat five years before.
AS they sat in the garden, they had
been going over the pros and cons of
his life or death for the thousandth
tlme. Pietro's quiet gray eyes were
sad as he looked away from Alike and
across the lawn to the beech wood.
God knows | would give my life
quickly if l could see him coming
through the trees there, as we used to
see him, mornings long ago, in his
patched homespun clothes"
Alike followed the glance consider
ingly, as If calling up the little, brown,
trudging figure so we'll remembered.
Then she tossed up her head sharply
-"Who?"-and then she laughed. 81

man"
oh" said Pietro. Your eyes are
more than natural, Alike. You see in
to wood; that is uncanny. Yes,
see him now. Mon dieu. he is a big
fellow"
"A peasant-from some other vii
lage,' Alike spoke carelessly. 81 do
not know him." and they went on talk
ing, as they had been doing, of Fran.

MademOiselle took it calmly and
glanced at it, and with that both the
footman and the Marquis Zappi were
astonished to see her fall to SILVER

caught Pietro's arm. The letter was

see the peaceful little village and the
stream that ran through it, and the
steep-arched bridge, and the poppy
fields and the corn! The gray castle
with its red roofs, and the beech wood,
and the dim, high-walled library, how
he wanted to see it all! How his heart
ached, madly, fiercely! This was the
worst moment of all his captivity. And
with that. Battista was over him, was
murmuring words again. Something
was slipped under the bedclothes.
"Paper-pens. The signor will write
a letter this afternoon. And tomor.
row little Battista will take it."
And the heart of Francois gave a
sudden throb of Joy as wild as it's an
guish. He could speak to them before
ne died; it might be they could save
MIN. His hands stole to the package
under the coarse blanket. 1t seemed
as II in touching it he touched his
mother and his sweetheart and his
