Farmers Should
Cooperate With
Their County Papers

The Record-Advertiser, pub
lished at Houston, Va, is urging
it's rural subscribers to do just
what we should like for our farm
ers to do-give us thenews from
their farms-to make our paper
a sort of clearing house of ideas
for farmers Of this vicinity.
Farmers do not use their local
papers enough, and yet the papers
afford the best and quickest ways
to build up their farms and com
munities. Every farmer should
tell his local paper about his
successes on the farm and how
they were achieved. We are
always glad to get a farming
story" for it enables US to spread
the news Of progress in our
vicinity. And no one needs a
flow of eloquence to tell of his
success. The facts of a farming
success are eloquent in them
selves. So write us. The editor
can rearrange the wording of it
if such need be done.
No farmer should he too in
different or too engrossed in his
own work TO pass a good idea
along to his fellCWmen, thus
giving them the benefit of his
experience. Such articles are
always an inspiration to others.
We well know the true and last
ing advancement Of cur com
munity can come in no other way
than through the upLuilding of
our farms, and so it is not politi-
cal and social news we want any
more than it is news from the
farms. - WATERFORD Press and
Banner.
The Times should be more than
glad to receive letters from
farmers of the county telling Of
their success in any feature of
farm life. Only by the publ
cation and dissemination Of news
telling of successes of farmers
can others be benefited by these
successes. mo man can live
unto himself" and one of the
best ways to help your farmer
neighbor improve his farm is by
telling him, through The Times,
how you have improved yours.
We should be glad to devote a
column weekly to the clearing
house of ideas" of farmers. Who
will be the first to send us a letter
telling of some special feature Of
your farm work which has
brought good results, and the
adoption of which plan would
help others who might read?

Quest stood, frowning, upon the
pavement, gazing at the obviously
empty house. He looked once more
at the slip Of paper which Lenora had
given him. There was no possibility

be would never have believed himself
capable. He gave in his card, and
after q few moments delay he was
shown into the presence OF one of the
chiefs of the detective department,
who greeted him warmly.

announced.
""My assistant, a young lady, Miss
Lenora Macdougal, has disappeared!

the steamer at Plymouth and travelled
up in the boat train. It was stopped

night, and then going on to the aunt.

Quest suddenly whispered to the pro.

They passed into the bedchamber.
Quest signed to the keeper to bring
Craig to the side of the four.poster.
Then he drew down the sheet.

Craig, up till then, had spoken no
word. He had shambled to the bed.
side, a broken, yet, in a sense, a stolid
figure. The sight Of the dead man,
however, seemed to galvanize him into
sudden and awful vitality. He threw
up his arms. His eyes were horrible
as they glared at those small black
marks. His lips moved backwards and
forwards, helplessly At first. Then at
last he spoke.
"Strangled!" he cried. "One more!"
THAT is your work." the criminolo.
gist said, firmly.
Craig collapsed. He would have

bent over him. 1t was clear that he

room.

The professor awoke from his
stupor.

know the way. We've a su%bterranean
hiding place which no criminal on this
earth could escape from"
They led him down to the, back part
of the house into q dry cellar which
had the appearance of a prison cell.
This place has been used before
now, in the old days, for malefactors,"
the professor remarked. Hell be
safe there. Craig" he added, his
voice trembling, "Craig-1-I can't
speak to you. How could you"
There was no answer. Craig's face
was buried in his hands. They left
him there and turned the key.

"Lenora did go up to 157 Elsmere

gave her your address here. as they
have just given 1t to me-"
Then what's become Of the child?"
Mrs. Willet demanded. .
Quest, whose brain was working
quickly, scrubbed upon one Of his
cards tie address of the hotel where
he had taken rooms and passed it
over.

ever, I'll go back to the hotel where
she was to spend the night after she

me know. Lenora's quite a particular

Quest had already opened the front
door for himself and passed out. He
sprang into the taxi, which he had
kept waiting.
"Clifford's hotel in Payne street"
he told the man.
He lit a cigar and smoked furiously
all the way, throwing it on to the pave
ment as he hurried into the quiet pri-
vate hotel which a fellow passenger
on the steamer had recommended IS
being suitable for Lenora's one night
alone in town.
Can you tell me il Miss Lenora

at the office.
The woman shook her head.
Miss Macdougal stayed here the

summons at once.
