he was conscious that the Roman
watched, watched. At the end Of four
days, Average Jones had satisfied him
self that if Livius were seeking any
thing in particular, he had an indefi-
mite task before him, for the colonels
bound treasures were in indescribable
confusion.
Often Colonel Graeme spent hours
in one or the other of the huge book
rooms talking with his strange protege
and making copious notes. Usually
the old gentleman questioned and the
other answered But one morning the
attitude seemed, to the listening Ad-
Visor, to be reversed. Livius, in the
far corner of the room, was speaking
in low tone. To judge from the other
mans impatient manner, the Roman
was interrupting his hosts current OF
queries with interrogations of his own.
Average Jones made a mental note,
and, in conference with Warren that
evening, asked him to ascertain from
Colonel Graeme whether Livius' in
Quiries had indicated a specific inter
est in any particular line of reading.
The following day Jones went to
look up his aide.
Did you find out from Colonel
Graeme," inquired Average Jones,
whether Livius affected any particu-
lar brand of literature?"
Eyes. He seems to be specializing
on late seventeenth century British
classicism."
Late seventeenth century Latinity,"
commented Average Jones. "That-er
gives us fair start. Now as to the
body servant"
"Old Saul? I questioned him about
strange callers. He said he remem-
hered only two, besides an occasional
peddler or agent. They were looking
for work
What kind of work."
Inside the house. One wanted to
catalogue the library"
What did he look like?"
saul says he wore glasses and a
worse tall hat than the coloneps and
had a full beard"
"And the other?"
"Bookbinder and repairer. Wanted
to fix up Colonel Graeme's collection.
Youngish, smartly dressed. with a
small waxed mustache,"
And our Livius is clean-shaven, -
murmured Average Jones. How long
apart did they calls"

he said.
I'D like to put up there. One adj

that time have changed hands in the
last six months"
Colonel Graeme went to big book
auction in New York early in March"
volunteered Warren, but he told me
he didn't pick up anything of particu-
lar value"
"Then it's something he doesn't
know about and Livius does. I'm 60
ing to take advantage of our Romans
rather un-B.-C-like habit of reading
the daily papers by trying him out
with this advertisement"
Average Jones wrote rapidly and
tossed the result to his coadjutor who

The advertisement made it's appear
ance in big type on the front pages of

day. That evening Average Jones met
Warren, for dinner, with a puckered
brow.
Did Livius rise to the bait?" asked
the scholar.

Hes been nervous as a cat all day
and hardly has looked at the library.
But what puzzles me is this" He ex-
hibited telegram from New York:

and sinewy, with a close-shaven face,
pale blue eyes, and narrow forehead
running high into a mop of grizzled
locks. Diagonally across the front part
of his scalp scar could be dimly per-
ceived through the hair.
Colonel Graeme presented the new
conner in formal Latin. He bowed.
The SCARED man made a curious ges-
ture of the hand, addressing Average
Jones in an accent which, even to the
young mans aforementioned ears,
sounded strange and strained.
"Di I'LL linguam astrinxere; mutus
est" said Colonel Graeme, indicating
the young man, and added a sentence
in sonorous metrical Greek.
BY way of allaying suspicion, Aver,
age Jones scrubbed upon a sheet of pa
per few complimentary Latin SEN
fences, in which Warren had sedu-
lously coached him for the occasion,
and withdrew to the front room, where
he was presently joined by the Johns
hopkins man. Fortunately, the colonel
gave fhem few moments together.
Arrange for me to come here daily
to study in the library" whispered
Jones to the Latin professor.
The other nodded.
Now, sit tight" added Jones.
He stepped, soft-footed, on the thick
old rug, across to the library door and
threw it open. Just inside stood Livius,
an expression of startled anger on his
thin face. Quickly recovering himself,
he explained, in his ready Latin, that
he was about to enter and speak to
his patron.
Shows remarkable interest in DOS
sible conversation" whispered Jones,
on his withdrawal, "for a man who
understands no English Also does me
the honor to suspect me. He must
have been willy chaplin the consul
ship of Plancus."
Many hours has Average Jones spent
more tediously than those passed in
the cool seclusion of Col. Ridgway

burrowed among quaint Accommodations

mo. AS you say no fellow can be
on the job all the time. But our prob
lem is not to catch Livius, but to find
out what it is he's been after for the
last three months"
Three months? You're assuming
that it was he who applied for work
in the library"
Certainly. And when he failed at
that he set about very carefully de-
veloped scheme to get at Colonel
Graeme's books anyway. BY inquiries
he found out the old gentleman's fad
and proceeded to get in training for it.

"He didn't. He was a scholar al

STATE FEED
INSPECTION

According to the report of the
State Feed Inspection department, 921
samples of licensed commercial feed
in G stuffs were analysed in Wisconsin
during 1915. These include 685 diff
ferent brands. The inspection service
continues to enjoy the support of man
facturers and dealers doing business
within the state, and through their
cooperation nearly all differences
have been adjusted without recourse
to legal action. Only one manufac-
turer was fined for failure to brand
his feeds with the information requir-
ed by law The shipment into the
state of unbranded feed has been the
chief cause of complaint. To control
this situation, the State Feed Inspec-
ton Service now reports violation }

From Mondays Daily.
In a game in which the visitors were
put out in one, two, three order in all
except one inning and in which they
only secured one hit off the pitching
marvel, Jimmy Devine, the Rapids
team shut out the fast Stevens Point
team by score ofthree to nothing.
Without question, Devine is by far
the best twirler seen in this section
in ages.
The Rapids team started in to win
the game in the first inning.
Manske singled and went to second
on Birens' error. Nelson struckout
L. Fahrner struck out. Stewart
dropped Brennen's fly and Manske

Grand Rapids scored again in the
sixth. L. Fahrner singled, Bremen

GALL MITES

Many maple trees in the state are
affected this year with gall mites
These appear as reddish colored gals
or blisters on the leaves, and are a.
bout the size of pin head. Each gall
contains scores of the tiny mites,
which winter at the base of the buds
and then crawl to the leaves when
they unfold in the spring. These gals
are nests for the mites, where eggs
are laid for another brood H. F. Will
son of the College of Agriculture de-
clares nothing can be done at pres
EFT to control the gall mites, but that
4 lime sulphur and nicotine sulphate
spray in the spring will destroy them,
il applied properly. Owners of maple
groves may get complete directions
for spraying by applying to the Ex-
pertinent Station, Madison.

REV. NOMENSEN
Will I'D To
HUSTISFORD
Accepts Call to Larger Field. Con
gregatiOn and Friends Regret
His Going.

The Rev. VIM. Nommensen has ac-
copied a call to go to Hustisford,
Wis.
While Mr.. Nommensen regrets very
much to leave Grand Rapids, he con-
siders the Importance of the call. The
congregation and work at Hustisford
is about again as large as it is here.
Mr.. NOmmensen came to Grand Rap
ids in December 1907 and found a
small congregation of about SO per-
sons. In the eight and a half years
he has labored in this community, the
congregation has increased over 800
per cent. A school house has been
erected and other important work ac-
complished. He came here from
Mansion, Wis.
Not only thecongregation of the
west side Lutheran church will regret
the leaving of the Rev. William Nom
mensen, but hosts of friends outside
his church, who know him to be real
man and minister who practices
what he breaches and man who can
meet anyone not matter what his sta
ton in life may be. Broad minded,
big hearted, Grand Rapids will lose a
worthy citizen and a man who has
had the best interests of the city at
heart always.
Mr.. Nommensen expects to take up
his new work about August first.

As planned by Hughes on the con-
templated transcontinental tour early
in August, his speeches will be about
1000 words in length. They will be
carefully prepared in advance, but in
addition to this the candidate will
probably extemporize from the plat
form referring to subjects of particu-
lar interest to the locality where he
is speaking.
1t is known that Hughes feels deep
ly about the unpreparedness III the
Mexican crisis following the mobil-
ization of the National Guard and il
it expected this subject will be treated
at length in his speech of acceptance.
The date for notification has not
been set, but it is believed Hughes
favors July %.
