Williams thrust the policemen and the
curious onlookers aside and. laying
hold of Anthony, cried in triumph:
"Well. Mr.. Jefferson Locke, l want

A little man in blue uniform was at
tempting to take the prisoner in charge,
but the detective disregarded him.
Runnels elbowed his way forward
with a question.

Williams declared. "What for? Well.
for one thing, he embezzled $4,000.

making IL impossible for the kaiser
ever to disturb the worlds peace again.
One of the most interesting phases
of the situation is Prussias future. In
the event of the allies victory Russia
would become the most powerful ma
ton potentially in all the world. Some
observers fear her power but others be-
lieve that with Slavism united and the
nation emerging from a victorious war,

has already officially promised Polish
reforms and liberty and shows every
tendency toward fairer treatment OF
the Jews, many of whom have been
given commissions in the army. Thus
for the first time in Russian history
Jews command Russian soldiers.
Better Treatment for Jews.
With this better treatment of the
Jews one of the outcomes of the war
may be the adjustment OF difficulties

WING FEATHERS OF
CHICKS CLIPPED?
Number of Authorities Give Their
Opinions as to the Cause and
Recommend Remedies.
(By M. X. BOYER.)

Each spring there are more or less
complaints that the wing feathers OF
chicks of the Mediterranean class grow
so fast that they droop. And the chick
loses vitality. A number of authori-
ties have been consulted with the fol-
lowing result:
Bause advises pulling the large wing
feathers, as soon as the chicks droop.
Arnold says he finds sweet milk the
best preventive for this trouble, giving
milk instead of water to drink.
White advises clipping the ends of
the wing feathers. Kulp believes in
cutting rather than pulling the wing
feathers. He says pulling them might
injure the socket where the feathers
grow.
Howell says he makes it practise
to clip off the ends of the flight feath'
ers on all the chicks when they are ten
days old.
But, after all, Is It the rapid growth
of the wing feathers which causes the
chicks to droop? Is it not more rea
sonable to believe that the body fails
to develop as 1t should? There GER
tainly must be something wrong with
the management that produces such
forlorn looking specimens of chicken
hood.
Why clip the wings? If they are toe
heavy for. their owner to carry around
in their normal position, would it not
be more profitable to dispose of the
chicks? They hardly would amount
to much II they lived to maturity.
Compare such a chick with one that
carries the wings folded close to the
body Take 1t in your hands. Notice
the difference in weight, feel how
sharp and bony is the breast of one
and how plump the other. Look at the
legs. 1t will take both Of the one to
equal the size of the strong. thick
shank of the other.
1t certainly does seem that 1t is
cruel to prolong the life OF chick so
puny that it cannot carry the weight
of its own feathers.

A Disappearance.

II Miss Carew had planned to over
whelm Capt. Tom Phinney with
amazement at her disclosure, she must
have been eminently we'll pleased with
the result in point of fact, she made
no effort to conceal her amusement;
but in a moment change came over
him that at first startled and next dis
mayed her, for something had hap
pened that she had not foreseen and
could not comprehend now.
First Of all 1t occurred to him, that
II this was Paige Carew, then nothing
whatever had happened to her, be-
cause there was no mistaking the fact
that she was a free agent; there
could be, therefore. no clash of inter
ests, or else-if the alternative were
true-she was allied with Max Willard
and against her uncle and guardian,
and against her cousin and-her be-
trothed! This was the flash of mem
DRY that now crushed him.
But in any event, doubt of the regu-
larity of Wizards enterprise was def
nitely removed, and the mystery be-
came fraught with a deeper and a
weightier significance than he had
dreamed Of. 1t was not for him to
NEEDLE with.
But, Ruddy-how narrowly Tom had
escaped treachery to their friendship!

MAKE EXTRA MONEY
FROM HOME GARDEN;
There Is Always Good Demand
for Very Early Cabbage and |
Tomatoes in Large Cities.
(By LAURA E, CHAPIN.)

Early lettuce is best planted In a!
small bed, and may be protected and
forced during cold spells by placing
over it light-colored thin cloth, or
better, glazed window sash or any
other glass covering
Many truck gardeners grow all their
early lettuce in board frames covered
with thin white cloth. This is also
a good, cheap protection for the grow
ing Of many other early plants.
Start tomato and cabbage plants
early either In the house in boxes or
in the hotbed and have large plants
for early use when the open garden
season Is ready. Give these young
plants plenty of sun and air to make
them thrifty and hardy.
1t Is good plan to set the seed
boxes outside during the day for sew
eral days before transplanting In or
der that the young plants may become
accustomed to the open atmosphere.
Where young plants are grown In
the hotbed the sash should be entirely
removed during the day for several
days before transplanting, or the
plants should be set in a coldframe
for hardening.
A tender early forced plant will
make inferior growth and will not
mature any earlier than one grown
from seed in the open garden.
For those who care to make extra
money from the garden, there is al
ways good demand at high prices
for very early cabbage and tomatoes,
especially the latter, in nearly every
town and city.
Cabbage can be forced to early ma
turity by planting II in rich soil and
giving liquid manure about twice
week.
Early tomatoes may be forced by
planting them in the warmest soil in
the warmest part of the garden, and
training them on stakes $50 that they
will receive ell possible sunshine.
Trim the vines so that only a small
amount OF fruit will set.
