belonged to no clubs. Two months
was the longest time he had ever re-
manned in New York since the dis
avenue and his resignation from his
clubs This once, then, he would break
the law he had written down for
himself. Boldly he entered the res
taurant.
Some time before Hargreave sur
rendered to the restless spirit of re-
bellion, bitterly to repent for 1t later,
there came into this restaurant a man
and a woman. They were both evil
IDENTIFY we'll known, for the head waiter
was obsequious and hurried them over
to the best table he had left and took
the order himself.
The man possessed a keen, intelli-
gent face. You might have marked
him for successful lawyer, for there
was an earnestness about his express
sion which precluded life of idle
ness. His age might have been any
where between 40 and 80. The shoul-
ders we're broad and the hands which
lay clasped upon the table were slim
but muscular. Indeed, everything
about him suggested hidden strength
and vitality His companion was
small, handsome, and animated. Her
frequent gestures and mutable eye
brows betrayed her foreign birth. Her
age was matter of Importance to no
one but herself.
They were at coffee when she said:
There's young man coming toward
us. He is looking at YOU"
The man turned. Instantly his face
lighted up with a friendly smile of
recognition.
who is it?" she asked.
"A chap worth knowing; a reporter
Just little out of the ordinary. I'm
going to introduce him. You never
can tell. We might need him some
day. All, Norton, how are you?"
Good evening, Mr.. Braine." The
reporter, catching sight Of a pair of
dazzling eyes, hesitated.
"The Princess Perigoff, Norton.
You're in no hurry. are your"
~Not now," smiled the reporter.
"Ah!" said the princess, interested.
! It was the old compliment, said In an
unusual way. 1t pleased her.
The reporter sank into a chair.
When inactive ne was rather a
dreamy-eyed sort of chap. He pos
sessed that rare accomplishment OF
talking upon one subject and think
ing upon another at the same time.
So while he talked gayly with the
young woman on varied themes, his
thoughts were busy specializing upon
her companion. He was quite GER
tain that the name Braine was as
sumed. but he was also equally GER
tain that the man carried an ex-
traordinary brain under his thatch Of
salt and pepper hair. The man had
written three or four brilliant mono
graphs on poisons and the uses OF
radium, and it was through and by
these that the reporter had managed
to pick up his acquaintance. He lived
well. but, inconspicuously.
Suddenly the pupils Of Braine's
eyes narrowed; the eye became cold.
Over the smoke of his cigarette he
was looking into the wall mirror. A
man had passed behind him and sat
down at the next table. Still gazing
into the mirror. Braine saw Norton

MEMORIAL DAY
Special Observance OF Memorial
Day is Urged This Year.

With the fact in mind that only for q
few years more will the commemorative
exercises Of Memorial Day be carried
on by those who fought by the side of
those who fell, Supt. Fred L, Keeler is
most earnestly urging that schools, both
normal and public schools, observe the
day with appropriate exercises. The
spirit Of patriotism and gratitude to
those who answered the call of the ma
ton, must be kept alive. How rapidly
the host of the Grand Army is vanish
ing is shown by the pension rolls. Dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1913, the
number on the pension list was de-
creased by 36, ,O64 deaths. The inherit
ance left by these men to the youth Of
today is love for the flag and an un-
swerving loyalty. The inculcating of
this spirit is duty of the school of no
small importance. Exercises should be
held in every schoolroom of the state
Friday, May %. On May 80 schools
should as far as possible assist in the
exercises of the day. Memorial Day
needs no proclamation. II is almost
nationally observed.

Scenic Effects
Not Used Long
Great Men and Women of the
Stage Played Without Special
Scenery. Plays Of Next
Week.

II will be matter Of news TO the
later day theatre goer who is familiar
with only the magnificience Of modern
theatrical productions to know that the
great stars and attractions of a decade
ago such as Edwin Booth, Lawrence
Barrett, John Mccullough etc., never
had scenery Of special design for their
productions, it was not thought nee.
essary IN those days when the theatre
patron felt that he had been sufficiently
remunerated with the magnificent art
of these great players. But nowadays
it is so different, every travelling
company is expected to carry special
scenery and some of the most promi-
nent 90 in for entire train loads of il.
The Blackaller Bros, managers Of
the Alvarado Players, who come to the
Temple Theatre all of next week in
stock productions were among the first
to make any very elaborate display at
cheap prices, they are bringing pre-
sentations of their plays and all for ten,
twenty and thirty cents too. Some of
the plays to be given here next week
by the Alvarado Players are, The Price
of Silence-When Hearts are True,
played with great success by Annie
Russell; Denman Thompson's famous
rural play, "Our new Minister" "A
Little Child Shall Lead Them" "The
Girl From out There" "A Gentleman
Thief" 'Tn the Bishops Carriage,
from the novel of the same name and
Captured by Wireless" founded on
the real facts of the famous DR.. Grip
pen case, every play is given with very
complete scenic setting.

Cheaper Eggs

How to Beat the Cold Storage
Man

Would you beat the cold storage mar

sioner Helme, in bulletin in which he
also points out the way to go alb out il.
"a great many methods have been
,Sried by food authorities to obtain some
Simple process of preserving eggs"
says the bulletin, land the one that is
now indorsed by the best authorities
for the preservation of eggs is by plac-
ing them in solution of water glass,
or silicate of soda. The process is very
simple and any individual can store
eggs under this system.
Water glass, known to chemists as
silicate of soda, is thick, gelatinous-
appearing liquid. To preserve eggs, it
is diluted with ten parts of water, The
water should first be boiled and then
cooled. To this, for every five quarts Of
water, one pint of water glass should
be added and thoroughly mixed. This
solution should be placed in can or
pail that can be sealed after the process
Of preservation is over. A half gallon
glass fruit jar will hold from fourteen
70 fifteen eggs. The solution should
cover the eggs. If larger receptacles
arc wanted pals can be used. These
should be coated inside with paraffin
and after the eggs are placed in them
and the solution covers them, the COW
ers should be placed on tight and the
edges sealed with paraffin. This pre-
vents the evaporation Of the solution,
which might expose the eggs to the air.
After the receptacles are filled, the
eggs should be stored in cool place.
Water glass sells at wholesale for
forty cents gallon and at retail for ten
cents pound, or about twenty-five
cents a quart. The proportion used
should be ten parts of water to one
part of water glass. One gallon of this
solution will cover six dozen eggs. BY
this manner eggs can be p e eryed at
tho cost of about one cent per dozen.
he X eriment st tion finds that egl s
preserved in this way are superior to
cold storage eggs. April eggs are the
best for storage, although May eggs
are just as good if the weather remains
cool"

SUPREME COURT
REVERSES CASE
Auto Owner Not Responsible
for Chauffeur's Accidents.

An automobile owner is not respon-
sible for damage caused by his motor
car when it is not under his control or
direction, according to recent deci.
sion OF the United States supreme
court, which overrules decisions in the
Michigan supreme court and declares
unconstitutional the section OF the
automobile act of 1909, which made
the owner Of the automobile re-
spcnsible no matter who is running
the machine.
The deciding case was that of Parrot
VS., The Metzger Motor Car Co., of De-
troit. James Parrott, a Macomb Coun-
ty farmer, was struck by Metzger Co.
car, near Mt. Clemens. He sued the
company for injuries sustained. 1t
was shown Henry Coulter, the chauffeur
was enjoying stolen ride when he
struck Parrott. But the latter was
awarded verdict for $500. The in
surance company holding the Metzger
liabilities appealed.

MAKING EFFORT TO
STOP BEAN DISEASE
Loss in Michigan Last Year
Two Million Dollars.

Bean diseases caused loss of &, ,0O0,-
600 to Michigan farmers during the
year 1913, according to a bulletin just
issued by the plant pathology depart.
ment of the M. A. C.
Specialists at the college are engaged
in search for cures for the bean blight
and anthracnose; but only indifferent
success has been attained so far. The
college bulletin states that a workable
method for checking anthracnose has
been developed, but that no means OF
stopping the blight has been found. II
is said to be likely. therefore. that
other big losses will be caused farmers.
The estimate of of 100000 as the
amount Of damage done the bean crop
in 1913 is conservative, in the opinion
OF the college specialists, for the aver.
age "pick" in 1918 ran about eight
pounds to the bushel and in some cases
as high as twenty pounds per bushel.
On examination Of Gull beans from
various portions Of the state it was
found that fully fifty per cent of the
pickings were made up of diseased
seed.
The NJ. A. c. plant pathologists are
undecided ss to which of the bean
diseases is the most injurious. 1t is
known that in areas where continued
wet weather is prevalent, anthracnose
is most noticeable, especially in the
pods and seeds. Blight also is wide
spread under snch conditions and
causes serious damage to the crops by
its attack upon the leaves.
In an effort to find way OF controll'
ing the bean troubles seed from every
county in Michigan and from every
state thought to raise desirable seed is
being examined to determine the pre-
valence of the disease.
Seed worthy of trial will be planted
this spring in at least ten counties OF
the state. II is hoped by the experts
that from these experiments the value
Of seed importation can be determined

ROOSTER DAY In KEN.
TUCKY AND TENNESSEE

In the interest OF the infertile egg
the poultry specialists have started q
campaign for the elimination of the
rooster among poultry flocks during
the season between May and Decem-
Der 1. In this connection Saturday,
May 16, has been set aside by the peo-
pie of those States as rooster day in
kentucky and Tennessee, when every
poultry dealer in these States has
agreed to pay the same prices for roos-
ters as they do for hens and pullets'
There is an enormous loss in eggs as
the result of the fertile egg, especially
during the summer and fall months,
and it is for this reason the department
recommends that the rooster be kept
away from the hens during these sea-
sons.
Fertile eggs spoil very quickly when
subjected to the ordinary methods Of
handling on the farm and when mar
keted during the hot summer months
under adverse conditions. Infertile
eggs will keep in good condition in
temperature which will cause fertile
eggs to rot.
II is estimated that one-third of the
tremendous annual loss of eggs is due
to the fertile egg.
The department specialists advise
that on the 1st of May all male birds be
either killed, sold, or confined until
the 1st of December, or as late as the
lst of January in some localities, mas
much as it is not necessary to the lay
ing vualities of men that roos ter be
maintained in the flock. Moreover,
his presence during those months
means fertile eggs, which mean bad
eggs and the consequent loss to the
producer and the consumer.
