GIRL TELLS A SENSATIONAL
STORY OF CHINATOWN

New York, Jan. 11.-LOUisa Rose,
24-year-Old Jersey City girl, who was
rescued by a squad of detectives from
a secret closet in a tenement in the
Chinatown district, today sobbed out
a sensational story of alleged white
slavery.
Nick Ferrari, a young beau brum-
mel of Chinatown, and woman who
said she was Frances Bataglo were
locked up on white slavery charges.
Detectives say the pair was with the

way through a secret panel and found
her huddled in a closet and in a state
of hysteria last night.
Father died six weeks ago and left
me an orphan" said the girl. 81 came
to New York to look for work. This
man, Ferrari, met me at the ferry.
He was well dressed and told me he
would get me work. Instead he took
me to that house and they took away
my clothes. He beat me frightfully
when tried to run away and took all
my earnings.
Several Italians were brought to
the room, the girl said. Finally an
American, the first who had visited
her, heard her story and notified the
police.

HoYNE RAYS coURT FADs

In an address before the members
of the South Park Avenue Methodist
Episcopal church last night, States
Atty Hoyne praised the police de-
partment and condemned the fads of
the municipal court.
Hundreds of criminals are weekly
turned loose on the community
through the municipal court simply
because the psycopathic laboratory
shows an irresponsible state of mind
on the part of the offenders" said
Hoyne. "The place for criminal de-
fectfves is Joliet. There is no other
institution to send them to.
"The majority of the men on our
police force are honest and efficient,
but it only takes a few crooked mem
bers to give the force a bad name.
The men are brave and compare IA
vorably, if they do not surpass, or

"The only troublesome ones are

ment report. The Torrens depart
ment, which is the only competitor
of the title company's business in
guaranteed" policies, grew from
1880 in 1918 to 1888 in 1914.
There were filed for record 226,931
instruments of all kinds, as compared
with 223,776 the year before.
The ToTrens system is the cheap
est and safest way for real estate
owner to be sure that his title to a
piece of land, will hold good any
where, according to Cook County
Real Estate board men and others.
In trying to get the system going
here they have had the opposition of
the Chicago Title & Trust Co. and
the Chicago Real Estate board. It is
asserted that some banks who are
stockholders in the title company
throw all the weight of their infiu-
ence in favor of the title company's
guaranteed" titles, when it comes
to loaning money.

Rockdale Church Destroyed by Fire

During the storm Monday morning
lightning struck the Norwegian church
in the village of Rockdale, setting fire
to the steeple that finally destroyed the
building. The bolt came about O'Clock
and the small blaze in the steeple
might easily have been put out had
there been any ladder handy so the lire
could have been reached. The struc-
ure burned for an hour or more, per-
hitting most of the seats and fixtures
to be removed. The building was built
in 1893 at an expense of about $4,000
and was insured for $500. Rev. John
Halverson was pastor of the congrega-
ton as well as the churches at Cam
bridge and on Koshkonong Prairie.

w. C. 7. u. Convention.

Those who failed to attend the meet
ing of the Rock County w C. 7. u.
Institute at the M. E. church last
Thursday missed treat. Although
there were few members from other
unions on account of the storm, the in
terest and enthusiasm shown by those
who were present gave great deal of
inspiration to the local union.
The program consisted of vocal selec-
tons by Mrs. w. Dickinson and read
ings by Miss Lila Clifford and tenn
perance dolly exercise by three little
girls, solo by Lorraine Dickinson, a
fine talk by Mrs. Hattie West of Mil
ton junction on the several depart
ments of work in the state, in which
she urged upon the different unions
systematic work and united effort. We
had with us Mrs. Warren of Stoughton,
who is our state vice president, and she
gave US talk on what We Are Look
ing For. - She said, among other
things, that when we give one dollar to
our local treasurer for dues, ten cents
is paid to the county for county work,
and sixty cents is sent to our state for
state work and of that amount ten
cents is sent to the national for q. S.
work, and one cent goes to help spread
the w. C. T. u. to all countries on the
globe and at present there are thirty
four countries with w. c. T. u. organ
izations There are at this time 500, 900
women in the United States members
Of the w. C. T. u. Mrs. Warren said
when we stopped to think of the great
good which has been accomplished
through these organizations and the one
dollar paid in by each member monthly
we ought to be proud that we are CIV
ing of our energy. and effort, in time
and money, for such worthy cause.
The Edgerton union served luncheon
and supper in the church parlors, and
as we separated that night for our va
rious homes it was with feeling that
these words had indeed come true:
Crock county, Rock county,

Well say to old King Alcohol

Suspicious Fire In GAINESVILLE.

Janesville's police and fire depart

fire which threatened to destroy the
residence of DR.. E. H. Dudley early
Friday morning.
The house was vacant, the family
being away on vacation, and the
blaze was discovered shortly after 6 a.
m. While confined to the basement
floor, it was a stubborn fire to fight
owing to the fumes of burning oils, and
after the danger was passed it was dis
covered the whole house had been
''planted" for confagration by some
miscreant, with wash boilers full of
gasoline, open cans of the same fluid
and even mason fruit jars placed in
convenient places where they would
explode and throw the oil when heat
struck them.
Representatives of the state fire

From a Lewistown, Mont, paper we
learn of serious accident that befell
a former resident of this locality re-
Gently.
''W J. Smart, land owner residing
north of Moore, was brought to Lewis
town last evening, suffering with a
crushed and badly fractured leg. The
accident happened yesterday afternoon
in Mr.. Smart's fields, where machine
disc pillow was in operation. In step
ping down off this pillow, he slipped and

over his limb, just below the knee,
fracturing the bones and crushing the
flesh. He was brought to Moore i'm
mediately and taken to the Office of
DR.. Porter, where, in the absence of
the Moore physician, Dr. Biddle of
Lewistown was in charge for the time.

CHAPTER XIII.

Tamarack Spicer sat on the top OF
a box car, swinging his legs over the
side. He was clad in overalls, and in
the pockets of his breeches reposed
bullying flask of red liquor, and an
unbulging pay envelope. Tamarack
had been "railroading" for several
months this time. He had made a
new record for sustained effort and
industry, but now June was beckon-
ing him to the mountains with vaga-
bond yearnings for freedom and lei
sure. Many things had invited his soul.
Almost four years had passed since
Samson had left the mountains, and
in four years a woman can change her
mind. Sally might, when they met on
the road, greet him once more as kins-
man and agree to forget his faulty
method of courtship. This time he
would be more diplomatic. Yesterday
he had gone to the boss and called
for his time" Today he was paid off,
and a free lance.
AS he reflected on these matters a
fellow-trainman came along the top
of the car and sat down at Tamarack's
side. This brakeman had also been
recruited from the mountains, though
from another section-over toward the
Virginia line.

conner.
Spicer nodded,

jerk of his head.

brakeman paused to add emphasis to
his conclusion-"thet the next time ye

Five years ago I should have met
you with Winchester rife" laughed
| the Kentuckian. Nov l shall not"
"I'll go with you, Horton, and make
sketch or two" volunteered George
Lescott, who had just then arrived
from town. "And, by the way, Sam
son, here's letter that came for you
just as left the studio"
The mountaineer took the envelope
with a Hixon postmark, and for an
instant gazed at it with a puzzled ex-
preston. 1t was addressed in femi-
nine hand, which he did not recognize.
1t was careful, but perfect, writing,
such as one sees in a school copybook.
With an apology he tore the covering
and read the letter. Adrienne, glanc.
ing at his face, saw it suddenly pale
and grow as set and hard as marble.
Samson's eyes were dwelling with
only partial comprehension on the
script. This is what he read:
Dear Samson: The war is on again.
Tamarack Spicer killed Jim Asberry,
and the Hollmans have killed Tama-
rack. Uncle Spicer is shot, but he
may get WELL There is nobody to lead
the Souths. I am trying to hold them
down until hear from you. Don't
come If you don't want to--but the
gun is ready. With love,
SALLY"
Slowly Samson South came to his
feet. His voice was in the dead-level
pitch which Wilfred had once before
heard. His eyes were as clear and
hard as transparent flint.
"I'm sorry to be of trouble, George"
he said, quietly. "But you must get
me to New York at once-by motor,
/ must take train south tonight"
mo bad news, hope" suggested
Lescott.
For an instant Samson forgot his
four years of veneer. The century of
prenatal barbarism broke out fercely.
He was seeing things far away-and
forgetting things near by. His eyes
blaZed and his fingers twitched.
Hell, mol" he exclaimed. "The
wars on, and my hands are freed!"
For an instant. as no one spoke, he
stood breathing heavily, then, wheel.
ing rushed toward the house as
though just across IT'S threshold lay

to hurl himself.

low the Hixon bridge. A detail un-
der white flag went out after Tama-
rack Spicer The militia captain in
command, who feared neither feudist
nor death, was courteously received.
He had brains, and he assured them
that he acted under orders which
could not be disobeyed. Unless they
surrendered the prisoner, gatling guns
would follow. II necessary they would
be dragged behind OK teams. Many
militiamen might be killed, but for
each of them the state had another.
If Spicer would surrender, the officer
would guarantee him personal protec-
ton, and, if it seemed necessary, a
change Of venue would secure him
trial in another circuit. For hours the
clan deliberated. For the soldiers they
felt no enmity. For the young cap
tain they felt an instructive liking.

From the house came the strains OF
an aIluring waltz. For a little time
they listened without speech, then the
girl said very gravely:
you won't-you won't still feel
bound to kill your enemies, will you,
Samson"
The mans face hardened.
Il believe I'd rather not talk about
that. I shall have to win back the
confidence have lost. l shall have to
take a place at the head of my clan
by proving myself man-and man
by their own standards. 1t is Only

If the lives Of a few assassins have
be forfeited l shant hesitate at that.
l shall stake my own against them

The girl breathed deeply, then she
heard Samsons voice again:
'Drennie, l want you to understand
that if / succeed it is your success.
You took me raw and unfashioned, al, d
you have made me. There is no wy
of thanking you"
There is a way" she contradicted
"You can thank me by feeling just
that way about it."
Then do thank you"

Samson were sitting with a gayly chat

tennis courts.

He went out few minutes later to
telephone for her to Mrs. Lescott, and
gave Adrienne carte blanche to browse
among his portfolios and stacked can
vases until his return. In a few min
utes she discovered one of those eff
forts which. she called his "rebellious
pictures"
These were such things as he paint
ed, using no model except memory
perhaps, not for the making of finished
pictures, but merely to give outlet to
his feelings; an outlet which some
nleq might ave found in talk.
This particular canvas was roughly
blocked in, and it was elementally
simple, but each brush stroke had
been thrown against the surface with
the concentrated fire and energy of a
blow, except the strokes that had |
painted the face, and there the brush |
had seemed to kiss the canvas. The |
picture showed a barefooted girl,
standing, in barbaric simplicity of |
dress, in the glare of the arena, while |
a gaunt lion crouched cycling her Her
head was lifted as though she we're
listening to faraway music. In the |
eyes was indomitable courage. That |

eany as was at once a declaration OF
( love, and a miserere. Adrienne set
1t up beside her own portrait, and, as
she studied the two with her chin rest
ing on her gloved hand, her eyes
cleared of questioning. Now she knew
what she missed in her own more
beautiful likeness. 1t had been paint
ed with all the admiration of the mind.
The other had been dashed OF straight
from the heart-and this other was
Sally! She replaced the sketch where
she had found it, and Samson return
ing found her busy with little sketches
of the Seine.
"Drennie," pleaded Wilfred Horton,
as the two leaned on the rail of the
Mauretania, returning from Europe,
"are you going to hold me of in
definitely? I've served my seven
years for Rachel, and thrown in some
extra time. Am no nearer the goal?"
The girl looked at the oily heave of
the Ieaden and cherries Atlantic, and
its somber tones found reflection in
her eyes. She shook her head.

Horton stood silent 1t was tea

of the ships orchestra. A few ulster
muff1ed passengers gloomily paced
the deck.
"You won't lose us both, Drennie,"
he said, steadily. "You may lose your

THE WHITE WYANDoTTE

White Wyandottes were introduced
about thirty years ago. The white
variety is the most popular of the
Wyandotte family. The chicks make
extra fine broilers and roasters, having
medium sized bone and full breast
development. The hens are good lay
ers of brown-shelled egg. They are

excellent sitters and mothers. A full
grown hen weighs from five and one
half to seven and one-half pounds.
Pullets mature at from twenty-one to
twenty-six weeks.
A flock of pure-bred white Wyan-
dottes is, as the country gentle-lady
says, "a sight to behold" The snowy
white plumage, bright yellow eggs and
brilliant red combs, make a pleasing
picture on any farm. Why keep
scrubs? Do you think It costs more
to feed thoroughbred fowls? Try a
good strain of fowls this spring, pur-
chased from a reliable breeder. Help
