My Client S
Queer Case

"A barefooted bride In a way, eh?"
I intimated to my old college chum
Roy Dacre.
He flushed slightly. We were still
close friends, five years after gradu-
alton and drifting into new life chan
nels. He had inherited a fortune and
had not gone into a profession, al
though he made a feint at carrying
on the real estate business of his de-
ceased father. which really meant
looking after the family investments.
Dacre was about the only one OF
my old friends who particularly cul-
tivated me. There was a reason.

respectable calling of the law and en-
gazing in the detective line. 1t had
always fascinated me. l made sue

terry; l was something of scribbler
and | fancied that eventually my ex-
perience might lead to my becoming
an expert writer on criminology.
"A barefooted bride? Yes, just that,
if necessary" spoke Dacre, trifie re-
seemingly. What of It? Poor, OBJ
scure-but an angel, Between some
pampered spoiled lady of fashion and
this sweet wildwood flower, who
would hesitate that valued innocence,

/ studied my client and friend for a
minute or two to decide that he was
fully resolved. He had ever been an
erratic, willfui fellow, doing odd
things in violation of prevailing
ethics, generally right in his deduc-
ton, always right in his motives. l
wondered what his aristocratic friends
would say about this new resolution
of his.

departed
There was a good deal to think
over, Briefly, Dacre. while hunting in
a wild part of the Lake Superior
country, had sustained bad fall from
a cliff-side. He had lain helpless and
isolated half of the day and all of
one night, unable to climb up the
steep incline. He had been discov-
cred by a girl whose whole appear

Her name was Elsa Warren and she
lived with her stepfather. Reuben

self, but not averse to assisting bor-
der smugglers at times. He was a
surly. unsociable old fellow. but with
one great redeeming feature in his
warped nature-he idolized Elsa as
ne had loved her dead mother. She
seemed to feel it a duty to remain
with the lonely, bereaved old man. In
her presence all his rudeness seemed
TO disappear, Poor. obscure as they
were, the girl had grown up commun-
ing only with nature, ardently fond
of books. These had refined her ma
ture. and these her stepfather always
provided, no matter how poorly his
desuItory vocation paid him.
For month Dacre was laid up at
the humble cottage home of Elsa,
near little town named Clyde The
purity and freshness of his faithful
nurse had enraptured him. He made
an honest. earnest declaration of love.
Elsa had bluthed and trembled. Her
stepfather, coming in. flew into pas
sion. He drove Dacre forcibly from
the place. The next morning Dacre
found the little hut deserted, Elsa
and Thorpe had disappeared.
For month he sought them with.

Great Wall Of China.

Few people realize what an almost
perfect condition prevails along a
large part of the great wall of China.
the bricks of the parapet are as firm
as ever, and their edges have stood
the severe climatic conditions of
North China with scarcely a break.
The paving along the top OF the wall
is SO smooth that one may ride over
it with a bicycle, and the great gran
ite blocks with which it is faced are
smooth and so closely fitted as when
put in place over 1000 years ago.
The entire length of this wall is 1.400
miles, it is 22 feet high and 20 feet
In thickness. At intervals of 100 yards
or so there are towers, some 40 feet
In height.-Popular Magazine.

There isn't much romance about

Vote FOR TON BALLARD.

To the voters Of Garrard County,
1t is generally known that the late
Curt A. Robinson was elected sheriff
of Garrard county by one of the largest
majorities ever given any man. and

chief deputy, George 7. Ballard Sr..
his father. being partner with Mr..
Robinson in the emoluments or fees of
the office. II Mr.. Ballard is elected
for the two years. vet remaining Of the
term, he Is pledged. and justly so, to
give the widow of Mr.. Rob<2sn half
the profits or fees Of the Office, which
as certainly belong to her as any pro-
perty he left her. The truth is, an Of
fee is most sacred property right, be-
ing bestowed by the people. the high
est authority. and il would be the gros-
sest injustice 10 deprive the holders OF
such property OF their rights. 1t il
not believed that the voters Of Garrard
county will overlook the principles Of
justice and equity in this race. II the
Office belonged to Robinson and BALLARD
before Mr.. Robinson's death. the re
mainder Of the term belongs to Ballart
and Mr.. Robinson's widow.

Big APPLE CROP.

There was perhaps never raised in
Garrard county such an abundant crop
of apples. and of such fine quality. as
this year. 1t seems hardly credible
that this county should produce apples
which would weigh pound each, but
this is common occurrence this year.
Farmers have made the fruit into vine
gar. housewives have put up. dried.
sulphured. and preserved in every way
imaginable, and vet much Of the fruit
is wasting. There is no market for the
apples. and in many localities the fruit
is going to waste.
