Suppose you get pinched. collared."
Andrew amended TRANQUILITY. "And.
furthermore. let US suppose that the
owner Of the Jewels was of an old and
honorable family and at this particular
time a nominee for high office. Now.
do you think he would risk scandal by
prosecuting you If it 10 CHANGED that
you recognized in his wife some one

cumstances. some one named, let Us
say, Maggie FlintT'
A silence fell. in which Andrew stood
immobile, impressive. regarding his new
tool with a calm yet piercing scrutiny,
and Creegan rested agape his widened
eyes fast on the other. striving dumbly
to digest the b~ewildering fact that the
girl with whom he had wandered fond
ly in the streets of Chicago years be-
fore was become in very truth the mis-
tress of this mansion. At last he shook
his head in~credulously.
NO" he muttered, 1T can't be Mag
gie-the wife of that swell guy. Vain
wright"
"But it isl" Andrew retorted sharp
ly, and the words carried conviction.
Gee! Maggie!" he mumbled con
fusedly. well, I'm a son of a gun"
81 am to understand, them" the Mas
ter Mind suggested suavely. that you
know the lady?'
Creegan's duh face lightened instant
ly. Something of the bestiality bred
out of evil years fell from him.
"Do I? Why. 1 knew her from way
back. Guess she come from pretty
good stock, though her old man was
down and put when l knew 'em. She
had darn poor pickin's, Maggie had.
Any other skirt with her looks would
have gone to the bad licketty split; but
not her! Worked in factories and then
got a job after her father died as nurse
girl. Kept straighter'n a string all the
time. l got foolish over that kid my
self. I'd just about made up my mind
to marry her when she was caught
with the goods and sent to stir. Never
could see why she did 1t. 1t want like
her to steal l tried to find her when
she come out. but there want nothin'
dom. And l was dippy over her. Gee?'
he concluded sheepishly. Can you see
me bein' dippy over a skirt?'
Andrew then said:
"And, If you should be caught, for a
further defense you might perhaps say
that robbery was not your intent. but
that instead you were here for a meet
ing with the lady-at her request"
Once again Creegan gaped sheer
amazement. Then. swiftly. the light of
understanding twinkled In his little
eyes.
I'm wise. 'bo-I'm wiser he chuck
led, with a villainous smirk. Now.
where do they keep the sparklersr"
Forthwith Andrew entered into a de-
tailed explanation concerning the plan
Of the house, with particular reference
to the library, In an alcove of which
the safe was set.
"And now he concluded, las to the
time tonight when you should start OPP
erations. l have only to make Il sug-
gestion. This of mine, as you
perceive, Is situated In the cupola Of
the house, with windows IN each side.
In its way it's a sort of beacon at
night. The ~lodgekeeper says that when
/ put out my light he is sure that every
one else In the house Is sleeping"
II got ye. Steve-I got vel" Creegan
declared. Then. in another moment.
he spoke with a half slammed eager
ness: "Say. she didn't send for me-.
did she?"
'sThat is a leading question:" was the
answer, with a n~oncommittal smile.

Fourth: Produce hay and forage
from some forage crop, sufficient to
supply all of the live stock on the
farm. Use legumes such as clover,
cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and
alfalfa for the production of hay

Fifth: Produce the meat neces-

increased attention to poultry and
hogs, especially. Plan to gradually
increase the number of cattle and
other live stock so as to have suf-

WHEN DECEIVERS OF LABOR
WILL BE FIRED OUT"
(By Charles StelzIeJ

The day will soon come when
those who are disappearing the
facts with regard to the results d
abolishing the liquor traffic will be
fired out of the labor movement, be
cause they have Systematically and
knowingly deceived workingmen.
Take, for example, the question Of
Increased taxation" These alleg-
ed labor leaders are insisting that
if the city is deprived of the mon
ev which now comes in the form OF
revenue taxes and to pay for saloon
licenses, all this money must be
made up through additional taxes
which for the most part the work
ngmen must pay.
This statement is manifestly alb
surd, for it doesn't require socl-
ologist or an expert in municipal ad-
ministration to know that it takes
great deal of money to pay the
expenses of maintaining institutions
which are caring for the wreckage
of the liquor business, and which
will not be required when the
liquor business is abolished.
Every workingman knows that
when the number of saloons is de-
creased so also is decreased the ne
cessity for maintaining large and
expensive police departments, peni-
tentiaries, etc.
Every workingman knows that
the statement recently made by
the president of the National Whole
sale Liquor Dealers Association is
la deliberate Misrepresentation
namely, that
Liquor produces more joy than
sorrow, produces stronger anu
healthier minds, is a greater proven
tive of crime of all kinds, and causes
lesser demand for institutions
such as jails or hospitals than would
be required under prohibition or to-
tai abstinence"
Such a statement as this should
stamp the man who makes it either
as a deliberate falsifier or an ignor-
anus; and labor leaders who are
deceived by such statements as these
are unsafe leaders of the masses.

A TALK BY BRAFORD KNAPP.
There are certain prohibitions
on the statute books that whatever
service the department is to render
must be supported by funds con-
tributed by states, counties or citi-
zens within the state, and that rul-
ing constitutes a certain limitation
upon our power to cooperate.
This public service has not been
asleep We have seen this coming
long way Congress has establish
ed by law public service for the
dissemination of information for the
farmers. That public office has
taken steps to meet this very situa-
tion-a rise in the price of cotton
which threatens to make us slide
back down hill so far as diversified
ton is concerned.
~ do not want to assume the at
titude of telling farmers how much
cotton they should plant, but l shall
not hesitate to say that it would be
folly to increase the cotton acreage
except in certain territories.
THE best way to consider this
problem is TO know how fully you
want to work, and how we can CO.
ordinate our forces"
Il am glad to say that as a result
of our recent visit to Washington, "
said Mr.. Haase, I'VE are able to pre-
sent a letter written by you, DR..

shell the purpose of our bureau--
safe farming. In this letter you said:

ficient to supply the family with
food of this character. Where feast
