He rushed him along the passage
and through his house into the little
garage where his car was waiting.
He pushed the negro inside.
Crouch down and not sound"
he whispered.
He went back into the house,
where his little girl was still playing.
cts time for you to go to bed,
Dorothy" he said.
The little girl began to put her
dolls together. :
Never mind. I'll do that tonight"
he said.
Outside the crowd was waiting.
Their leader, watch in hand, counted
the half-minutes. The time seemed
to pass with incredible slowness. At
last the five minutes were up. The
mob advanced.
Come along, sheriff. shouted
their leader again.
There was no answer He ham
mered upon the door. Times upr
he yelled.
And, as no reply came, he began
battering at the panels. The mob,
suspicious Of trickery, brought for
ward the plank with which they had
smashed down the outer doors.
Watch the back!" yelled their
leader as the sudden sound of a
cranking engine reached their ears.
A concerted rush to the back doors
was made. But before the mob
reached them they swung wide open.
There was moments pause and out
sped the sheriff's machine, in it the
sheriff and the grotesque form of the
panic-stricken negro.
So sudden was this maneuver that
the mob was taken aback. The rush
of the automobile scattered them;
shots were fired, but in the darkness
they went wide. The machine gath
cred momentum and, sped down the

He believed he could outdistance his
pursuers. He heard family the crack
of revolvers behind him, but the bull
let's did not reach him. He was dis
taneing them. At the bend Of the
road, five miles from the prison, he
saw only tiny, distant flashes of light,
indicating the presence of the pur-
suing machines. "
He slowed down until he saw their :
lights swiftly approaching, and, with
a roar and rattle Of his engine, he
started again,
YeIls of triumph pursued him. The
bullets Glove the air about him. He
put on speed. The distance remained
about the same. Then slowly he be-
gan to draw ahead of them.
He led them a dance that night
that was never forgotten. Mile after
mile was reeled OF, until the gasoline
began to fail. Three counties were
crossed. Still the sheriff sped on and
the pursuers, trailing off, began to
lose hope. Then the sheriff would
slow down and wait for them.
They caught him at dawn. Only
one car had followed him, but in it
were the leader of the lynching party
and three of the most determined.
By the faint light they saw the sher-
Tiff and their victim.
Surrender they yelled, and the
sheriff held up his hands.
A rope was brought out and,
looped, flung around the throat of
the grotesque figure in the car. One
end was fastened to limb of a water
oak. Amid. chorus of yells the fig
ure, jerked from its place at the sher-
IFS side, swung swiftly aloft. The
revolvers were emptied into it.
Sheriff Artemus suddenly pulled a
revolver with either hand and COW

GOOD WORDS FOR THE SPARROW

GOOD WORDS FOR THE SPARROW.
At one time it looked as if the COM
mon sparrow had mo friends at ALL"
though he has contrived to prosper
and increase his tribe in the face Of
all opposition Just now, however,
the sparrow is finding some defenders.
There is law in Michigan which pro-
vides for a bounty of two cents head
for sparrows during the months of De-
cember, January and February. Some
OF the women's clubs in that state are
petitioning the legislature to repeal
the law on the ground that the birds
are useful as insect destroyers. Some
recent investigations of the biological
survey have shown up the sparrow in
q more favorable light. In a report
based on observations during the years
1911 and 1912 it is estimated that one
brood of young sparrows can destroy
at least 1000 alfalfa weevil in a day.
Further favorable testimony is given
by Prof. r. ]. De Loach of the Georgia
agricultural experiment station Pro
fessor De Loach says that in 1905, at
Statesboro, Ga, he witnessed the spec
tacle of about 1000 sparrows attack
ing a field of German millet which had
been invaded by several million of the
army worm caterDillars "Tn ahout
forty-eight hours these little birds had
completely cleaned the millet patch Of
the worms, to the relief of the owners
of the adjoining FARMS"

1t Is easy to make jokes at the ex.
pense Of the war poets; but let it be
remembered that not everybody is a
poet who essays to write verse There
have been some poems inspired by the
war, and they have been not all on
one side. Every poem is an asset to
humanity. The rubbish that is put
forth as poetry deserves the jeers OF
the paragraphers; but longer than the
way to Tipperary is the distance be
tween the average product of the
rhymesters and the genuine poetry
growing out of the calamity of the
war.

Says the Boston Globe: "The trus-
tees of the Horatio N. Slater estate re.
port shrinkage of $3,7S4,954 during
the year, owing to the depreciation in
stocks and bonds. This loss, however
is all on paper, and with the end OF
the war and returning industrial activ.
ity should disappear. The incident IL.
lustrates, however, what has happened
to every important estate that holds
securities" Not only to important es.
tates, but to others, and to institutions
OF various kinds, and to nearly all in.
dividuals with funds invested in secu
rites.

In the last five years the caving in
of mines has caused the death of over
1000 men in the United States. Dur
ing the same period it is estimated
$500 were killed through lack of proper
safety appliances. To this list of
deaths must be added many thousands
whose health has been wrecked
through bad ventilation, the use of
improved explosives and like causes.
These are among the sacrifices ex-
acted by industry in times of peace.
The horror of war impresses us be-
cause it is dramatized and condensed
into comparatively brief period Of
time, but the horrors of peace we ac-
cept with the Indifference of familiar
ity, and yet in their unbroken con-
tinuance and cumulative effect they
far outmeasure wars tax upon hu-

The farmers of the United States are

crop ever put into the ground, in ex

if the war should come to an earlier

would be commodity salable at a re-
