FIRE ON JASPER COUNTY FARM
Large Barn and Contents on peutseh
Place Destroyed.

Newton, Aug. is. - The fine large
barn and corn crib and the contents
and hog house on the Will Deutsch's
farm eight miles northwest of Newton
burned Sunday.
Earl Hickman lives on the place and
the first intimation he had of fire was
when he saw smoke coming out of the
top of the barn. The fire started on
top in the hay NOV, therefore it is
thought some tramp must have slept
there. The wind was strong, every
thing was dry and the fire burned
rapidly. Everything was burned.
The barn was large one, 4SX64 and
the corn crib was e6N32 and both were
in fine repair. The hog house was
not so good.
There were 1000 bushels of new oats
and 100 tons of hay, besides the farm
ing implements in the barn and 900
bushels Of corn in the crib.

CHAPTER III.
The Beautiful Tisress.


Flora Desimone had been born in q
Calabrian peasants hut, and she had
rolled in the dust outside, yelling Wig
orouely at all times. Specialists de-
clare that the reason for all great
singers coming from lowly origin Is
found in this early development of the
throat. Parents OF means employ
nurses or sedatives to suppress or at
least to smother these infantile pro-
tests against being thrust inconsider-
ately into the turmoil Of human be-
ings. Flora yelled or slept, as the
case might be; her parents were
equally Indifferent. They were too
busily concerned with the getting Of
bread and wine. Moreover, Flora was
one among many. The gods are al
ways playing with the Calabrian pen
insula, heaving it up here or throwing
it down there; il terremoto, the earth
quake, the terror. Here nature tink-
ers vicariously with souls; and she sell
dom has time to complete her work
Constant communion with death
makes for callosity of feeling; and the
Calabrians and the Sicilians are the
cruelest among the civilized peoples.
Flora was ruthless.
She lived amazingly well in the pre-
mier of an apartment-hotel in the
Champs Elysees. In England and
America she had amassed a fortune.
Given the warm beauty of the south
ern Italian, the passion, the tempera-
ment, the love of mischief, the natural
cruelty, the inordinate craving for at
tention and fattery, she enlivened the
nations with her affairs. And she new
er put a. single beat of her heart into
any of them. That is why her voice Is
still splendid and her beauty unchang-
ing. She did not dissipate; calcula-
ton always barred her inclination;
rather, she 1oitered about the Forbid
den Tree and played that she had
plucked the Apple. She had an ex-
ample to follow; Eve had none.
Men scattered fortunes at her feet
as foolish Greeks scattered floral Of
ferings at the feet of their marble
without provoking the sense Of
reciprocity or generosity or mercy.
She had worked; ali, no one would
ever know how hard. She had been
crushed. beaten, cursed, starved. That
she had risen to the heights in spite of
these bruising verbs in no manner en-
larged her pity, but dulled and vitiated
the little there was Of it, Her mental
attitude toward humanity was cnllG-
ish: as. when the parent strikes, the
child bIindly strikes back She was
determined to play, to enjoy life, to
give back blow for blow, nor caring
where she struck. She was going to
press the juice from every grape. A
thousand odd years gone, she would
have led the cry in Rome Bread and

would have disturbed Nero's compla-
cency, and he would have played an

EalIure Of ArtificlaL Food.

trated extracts of certain staples, is
a common belief, and 1t has even
been predicted that some day our
diet viii consist Of tabloid food One
might live for short time in that

woman; who but Frenchwoman
would have dared what she had this
night? The taxicab She laughed.
And this man was wax in the hands Of

mystifying. Follow him; see where
he goes" The frank discussion, then,
and the calm dismissal we're but a
woman's discrimination. And he had
gone to Flora Desimone's.
The carriage stopped before hand
some apartment house in the Avenue
de Wagram. The unknown got out,
gave the driver his fare, and rang the
concierge's bell. The sleepy guardian
opened the door, touched his gold
braided cap in recognition, and led the
way to the small electric lift. The
young woman entered and Familiarity
pushed the button. The apartment in
which she lived was on the second
floor; and there was luxury every
where, but luxury subdued ana
charmed by taste.
She threw aside her hat and wraps
with that manner Of inconsequence
which distinguishes the artistic tenn
permanent from the thrifty one, and
passed on into the coy dining room.
The maid had arranged some sand
wiches and bottle Of light wine. She
ate and drank, while intermittent
smiles played across her merry face.
Having satisfied her hunger. she
opened her purse and extracted the
banknote. She smoothed it out and
laughed aloud.
"Oh, If only he had taken me for a
ride in the taxicab!" She dubbed
again with merriment
Suddenly she sprang up, as If In
spired, and dashed into another room,
a study. She came back with pen and
ink, and with CELEBRITY that came Of
long practice, drew Ave straight lines
across the faint violet face Of the bank
note. Within these lines she made lit
tie dots at the top and bottom OF
stubby perpendicular strokes, and
strange interlineal hieroglyphics, and
sweeping curves. all Of which would
have puzzled an Psychologist if he
were unused to the ways of musicians.
Carefully she dried the composition,
and then put the note away. Some
day she would confound him by re
turning it.
A little later her fingers were NOV
ing softly over the piano keys; melo-
dies in minor, sad and haunting and
elusive, melodies that had never been
put on paper and would always be her
own; in them she might leap from
comedy to tragedy, from laughter to
tears, and only she would know. The
midnight adventure was forgotten, and
the hero Of 1t, too. With her eyes
closed and her 1.-THE body swaying
gently, she let the old weary pain in
her heart take hold again. "

The world seems pretty bad place

SO many things which take the heart
out of our optimism, that seem to
make it meaningless hope rather
than any solid reinsurance. But the

somebody who is better than we are
