tain II the expenses of the dairymen
have increased so much that they are
entitled to the advance.
The farmers claim the price OF feed
has made 1t necessary for them to look
for an advance from the dairymen.
The diaries point out that they can
not give the farmers an advance with
out increasing the price to the con-
sumner. as they have already granted
an advance of two cents a gallon in
the last twelve months. One year ago
the dairy farmers received 20 cents a
gallon for milk. which was retailed by
the dairymen for 40 cents.
The dairymen then increased the
amount paid farmers to "a cents a gal
Ion without advancing the price to the
public. Now. with another increase
to the farmers, they claim the public
will have 10 paySthe difference as they
cannot carry on the operating ex-
penses Of their diaries and distribute
the milk 10 consumers at a profit for
ten cents a quart. out of which they
have to pay the dairy farmers six and
a half cents quart.

what you have told me. And 1 want

'I'm going West to make a new
start"
A new start. The words might have
been applied to her own deeds. He
drew her out in turn. Yes, she was
schoolteacher, and the doctor had or
dered her to a sanitarium, to check
the incipient tuberculosis. But
what's the use, with my mother to

this money is yours. You supplied
the capital, he added.
81 can't take gambling money" she
said with horror.
But"
She was resolute in her refusal at
first. Then the man became crafty.
He urged her mother. "And you, who
have done so much good, ought not

After a long time she consented. 1t
could not be put to better use, he in

But since man cannot live upon
memories, Halliday married. His
wife was the best woman in the
world. He never told her of his past.
And somehow, even now, the figure
of Miss Blair seemed to inspire his
love, and he saw her soul in the blue
eyes of his wife.
Halliday & Co. of Wall street is
still one of the most responsible of
firms. Halliday had a wife and two
children who adored him, and their
apartment on the drive was a model
of taste and elegance.
Halliday had made good. He had
everything that life could offer him.
But still, at the back of his mind, per-
sisted the vision of IsobeI Blair, and
he often wondered whether she were
living or dead. He had no means of
discovering, and the very house in
which she had lived had been pulled
down.
At first he had been in partner
ship with man named Allen, a rath=
er flashy, though honest broker, who
had quickly amassed a fortune and
seemed in danger of losing it as
promptly. The deal had been a ne
cessity for Halliday at the time, but
he was glad enough when he was
able to accede to Aliens suggestion
for a separation of interests. Allen,
who had been living, in large, much
the same life that Halliday had lived
in little, said he was going south to
take up a ranch in Texas. ....
Halliday had once seen and pitied
Aliens wife, a worn little woman,
childless, and, as he OWNED, suffer
ing from her husbands neglect. He
was glad when the evening was over.
He and his wife gradually dropped
out of Aliens list of friends. The
partnership itself was coming to an
end with the month.

BRIDGEPORT. Conn. Sept is.--crazed
by an unreauited love. Joseph Lyness, .
guard at the Remington Arms Works here,
STACKED the Rev. Patrick Mccivney on
the altar Of ST charies's Church.
A thousand men and women were kneel-
ing In prayer at mass. The priest had just
finished reading the service and ascended
the altar when Lyness rose from his seat
He rushed down the aisle and vaulted
over the altar rail-
As the madman reached the top OF the
altar Father McGIvney turned and grappled
with him. calling out for aid Church at
tendants ran 20 the priests aid.
Lyness's act threw the congregation into
a panic. Women sprang 20 their feet, saw
the struggle on the altar and tainted
Others became hysterical. In their haste TO
rescue Father McGlvney men trampied on
one another.
A dozen men seized Lyness and dragged
him away from the priest. Father McGiv-
ney restored quiet by ascending the altar
again as soon as the man was taken out
side.
