COUNTY AGENT NOTES.

There are probably more fields Of al
| falfa in the square mile in the neigh
bOrhOOd Of Milford than in any other
section OF Sussex County. Although the
most of these fields are small when
compared to the large areas planted in
/ typical alfalfa sections. they serve the
most useful purpose Of demonstrating to
/ their owners, as well as to neghbOrs.
that this crop can be grown. BY FAR the
best way to get a start with alfalfa is
to take only small piece OF ground and
give II the thorough treatment that is
often impossible, or inconvenient for a
larger place, and yet is necessary before
any reasonably good results can be eX-
/ pected. II every farmer in the county,
who has thoroughly drained his land.
would take a fraction Of an acre this
year and follow carefully the often re-
peated rules for growing the crop. there
would soon be fewer Of those folks who
are always ready to say that alfalfa wont
grow here.
one Of the most interesting fields Of
alfalfa that the County Agent has vis-
tied is that OF W. +. Hurd, southwest
Of Milford The field Is interesting not
only because il is now Of the best in ap-
pearance, but also because il illustrates
| market gardener and trucker in the
county. As many a cabbage grower
will remember, early cabbage last year
was anything but profitable. and in
many fields but a small part Of the crop
was ever got to market. Under such
circumstances growers often think that
the time and expense put upon the cab
bage or similar crop have been wholly
lost. Mr.. Hurd concluded that as long
as little cabbage has been sold from his
field, most Of the fertilizer must still be
there, in the soil or In the cabbage. He
also concluded that the cultivation given
the cabbage crop should be made use OF
by another crop, which should also util-
ize the costly fertilizer. Therefore he
prepared this land for alfalfa, and now
has a crop as would do credit to any al
falfa grower in the country. Whether
or not a man could afford to do as much
for an alfalfa crop every year is not the
question, but the point is that a bad
situation was turned into advantage and
a serious loss avoided, although in a
different fashion than was expected IT,
when a man fails TO see any benefit from
the use of fertilizers in spring crops
perhaps on account of drouthy condi-
tions during the growing season. ne

shop where the old woman was still
playing cards with Ernestine, the girl
who helped her dispose of her goods.
The woman did not pay any attention
to the idiot, for at that same moment
Nibet, the prison guard, came in. He
handed n paper to Mother Toulouche
which the old woman was expecting
from one of her accomplices.
"The cargo will reach you through
the Seine about midnight. Be there
to assist me in the unloading"
The note was signed 1.-THE Sailor"
This man was one of the most de-
pendable accomplices the proprietor of
the place had. His note informed her
that soon there would be vessel
arrive at the mouth of the sewer com
municating with the cellar. AS 1t
would soon be twelve o'clock, not a
second was to be lost. Nibet ordered
Cranajour to take the lantern and ac
company him to the cellar.
Nibet had scarcely opened the door
and, started down, with the idiot fol-
lowing him with the covered lantern,
when he saw Fandon The journalist
was flashing his pocket lantern about
in an effort to find more clues. He
had not noticed that he was being
observed. The two men from Mother
Toulouche's shop crouched like great
cats of the jungle, waiting for Fandor
to approach. Cranajour did his best
to be the first to get at the sewer
prowler but Nibet forestalled him.
With drawn knife the guard now be-
gan to advance toward the man who
was so unconscious of his danger
Just as he was about to sink his knife
into Fandor's body, Cranajour pushed
past him and gave Fandor such vio-
lent shove that he fell in the Seine.
Nibet was furious. He swore
roundly at the idiot for showing his
zeal in such fashion as to deprive
him of his victim. AS Fandor swan
under water for some distance, Nibet
thought that he had got rid of him
without a knife mark. AS for the
journalist, he now felt that he knew
how it was possible to get the body
of the artist out of the prison without
spying eyes seeing it.

THE PRINCESS NECKLACE

All fashionable Paris was crowding
into the palatial ballroom Of Mr..
Thomery, the sugar king, whose i'm
mense fortune made him a man of
mark in the French capital. He was
giving n ball in honor of the Princess
Danidolf, whose engagement to the
man of wealth had just been an
noun,ced. She still loved Paris despite
that unfortunate robbery at the Royal
Palace Hotel where her necklace and
cash were taken so boldly under her
very eyes by Fantomas.
Diplomats financiers, artists and
the world of letters thrOnged the large
bathrooms. The appearance Of the
Princess Sonia and her progress from
room to room was in the nature of a
triumphal procession. The sugar king
had n private dressing room installed
for her that she might be able to es-
cape the crush of guests about her
when she wished to rest.
Among the guests there was one
who did not enter joyOusly into the
dancing. He stood apart watching
the dancers with weary eye. One
particularly held his attention. This
was Princess Sonia. The man ap-
praised her gorgeous pearl necklace
with a calculating eye. 1t was worth
at least two hundred thousand dollars

slight bruise. 1t was made by the
eager fingers of the man in seizing
the necklace. The detective thought
that there might be come clue dis
covered If he took photograph of 1t.
He did this, and then hurried to the
Bertillon office to see if the finger
prints were similar to any on file.
Fandor learned of the theft at the
newspaper office. He was on the
point of going to Thomery's home
when he learned through police head
quarters that the detective who had
made the investigation was returning
with the only possible clue. The re-
porter was waiting at the Bertillon Of
flee. He watched the Photographic
plate developed, and then joined in
the breathless search through the files
for a corresponding print.
After few moments the head
clerk of the department pulled out a
card.
"Here's the duplicate print" he
said triumphantly. Fandor and the
detective read the name and gazed ut
the clerk in amazement.
you're sure?" gasped Fandor.
"This is certainly the man who left
that print" reiterated the Bertillon
expert.
"But you have given us the card of
Jack Dillon" protested Fandor, "and
he has been dead ten days. Do you
hear? The theft has just taken
place, and then man you call the thief
is dead and buried"
"Let me tell you, Mr.. Fandor, that
there are no two finger prints in all
the world alike" hotly protested the
clerk, land the print on your plate IS
the same as that on this card"
There was nothing for the detective
and Fandor to do but take their depar'
ture The former was firm in the be.
lief that a mistake had been made if
cataloguing the Dillon card, but the
newspaper man was working out an
other theory.

(Second Part)
FANDOR'S INQUIRY

Upon leaving Elizabeth Dillon, Fan
der returned to his office. What wor-
ried him was how the body of the
artist had been removed from the
prison without anyone having seen it
being taken away. He was just about
fair over his own signature, when a
note was brought him. 1t merely
said
Look out. The affair which en-
crosses your attention is very interest
ing, but if you pursue it further it
may have terrible consequences for
you"
The young journalist was not to be
deferred by threats. He placed the
note in his pocket and hurried over
to the Palace of Justice. Next to it
was the prison. 1t was nearly
o'clock when he arrived, and he knew
that soon the building would be locked
for the night. Fandor concealed him
self in an unfreQuented spot and
waited. 1t was late in the night, how
ever, before he dared start upon the
perilous journey which he planned.
Fandor climbed stairway to the
very roof of the building. From the
roof he could work his way to the
prison, and thus search for possible
ways by which the body of Dillon
might possibly have been removed.
What especially attracted his atten-
tion was large chimney which
served to ventilate the sewer which at
that point passed under the prison and
the Palace of Justice.
The intrepid newspaperman did not
hesitate, when he once made up his
mind to see if the chimney could have
been the possible route by which the
corpse had been taken. BY means of
brackets in the chimney he was able
t. descend. The trip was indeed peril
Gus, but it was none the less fraught
with good results. Fandor saw where
the stone had been scraped recently.
AT one place he found a tuft of hair
This he put in his pocket that he
might examine it later.
When he reached the platform In
the sewer he found band of rats
gathered about pool of blood.
Cranajour the idiot, lived in the
garret Of Mother Touloche's store.
While sitting alone in his room with
only a cigarette for company, he liked
to watch what was going on about the
Palace of Justice through small tele-
scope. He was particularly interested
In the people who frequented the roof
Of that building and of the prison. On
the night that Fandor made his dar-
gerous trip Cranajour watched him
Yet he was not surprised. He knew
Fandor's mettle.
Cranaiour waited only minute on
two before he gave up his garret
vigil. Then he hurried down to the
