Unidentified MAN
killed on railroad
Found on Tracks of P, B.
& W. at Ruthby With
Skull Fractured
MAY HAVE LEFT
TRAIN BY MISTAKE

Special 20 THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. July 31-An unidenti-
fed man was found dead on the p, b.
g. W. Railroad tracks at Ruthby sta
ton, the first station north of Newark
about 5 O'Clock yesterday morning by
the night track walker. The man had
evidently been hit by a train. His
skull was crushed. but his body was
not mangled. II is supposed that the
man got OFF the midnight southbound
train at Ruthby station by mistake
Saturday night, as a passenger on the
train who did get off at Ruthby re-
called yesterday a stranger leaving
the train at the same station who
acted as though he was bewildered.
Undertaken Robert + Jones, OF
Newark. now has charge OF the body,
and unless II is claimed by relatives
or friends within few days the re-
mains will be inferred at Farnhurst
An effort is being made to locate
friends of the man, as there is every
indication that he was a skilled me-
chanic of some time, Judging from his
clothes and hands. He is thought to
be of Polish extraction and about 80
years Of age. He is six feet tall and
weighs probably $50 pounds. The de-
ceased was clean shaven, wore a suit
/, OF new underwear. a new belt and car
ried the old belt in his pocket, blue
shirt, corduroy trousers, dark coat,
black string necktie, dark cap and
heavy high top shoes. The condition
Of his hands would indicate that he
worked around machinery.
II is thought that the man had been
employed by J. NJ Herman & Co., con-
tractors. wherever that concern may
be located. as the name of the above
firm is stamped on the inside of each
shoe. Written inside Of each shoe
also is the initials ]. r. K, No. go.

trance, and the doctor yielded. Then
Hardwicke turned the key in the lock,
took off his coat, and, almost without
any preliminary, the two men engaged
in u fierce fight.
They were fairly equally matched
in physique, but sheer resolution and
fiery wrath gave Hardwicke the VIC
tory. and he did not leave his opponent
until the man was beaten to the
ground.
Going then to his own room, Hard
wicke changed his clothes and re-
moved the most noticeable marks Of
the contest. Feeling himself unequal
to meeting Beatrice again that after
noon, he left the hotel, meaning to
walk along an unfrequented path, and
successfully lodging Marion Miller,
who, during the past few days, had
lived in veritable inferno of her
own creation.
She looked after him with an ex-
preston Of baleful hatred, since hell
hath no fury like woman scorned,
and encountered Doctor Merriam
while In this harpy's mood. He, like
Hardwlcke, was by no means anxious
to meet any other resident in the ho-
tel, but the sight of Miss Miller sug-
gested ready means of revenge. Ig-
noring stare Of surprise at his bat
tered appearance, he drew Marion
aside and forthwith poured into her
eager ear the full story of the nights
doings on the island.
Three months later Mrs. Hardwicke
died and her husband and Beatrice
Tourneur had already come to their
senses. They had met often, both in
the hotel and ut the girls home, and
the knowledge was slowly forced on
them that they were unsuited, both In
character and disposition, to the life
long tie Of matrimony.
Moreover, another ideal had crept
into the girls troubled heart. She had
met john Burton, and, struggle as she
might against the obsession, became
only too well aware that he was the
only man she could ever love.
Then, Hardwicke and Beatrice were
together one day, and chatting mere
ly as friends, when DR.. Albert Merriam
was announced. Merriam laid bare
the object Of his visit without the
least pretense of concealment.
Il am poor" he said. "You, Hard
wicke, are rich, and pretty Miss Be
atrlce, II rumor speaks Alright, is about
to marry millionaire. want money,
ana you two must purchase my ST.
lence."
Gilpin observer., 1916-11-23

sure Beatrice that he had come to
love her desperately and obtain her
promise to marry him as soon as ever
circumstances permitted.
1t CHANGED, however. that Doctor
Merriam preceded him to the girls
room, and was not aware that her
mother was q bearer of q message to
Hardwicke.
Beatrice looked delightfully."- spirl-
tuelle in negligee robe as she sat
near the window gaining new vitality
each moment by deep drafts of the
keen mountain air. Doctor Merriam
drew a chair rather near, felt her
pulse, and put some ordinary questions
which, however, quickly merged into
pronounced love-making. She shrank
away from him Mortified, but he was
not to be repressed, and did not scruple
to threaten her with an the dreadful
consequences which must ensue If she
insisted on Withholding her favor.
Quite sure of his ground, he bent for
ward suddenly, crushed her in his
arms, and kissed her on the lips.
She struggled wildly and screamed.
For an instant the instincts of out
ragged femininity overbore all other
considerations. She was only wom-
an fighting in self-defense. Unluckily,
Arthur Hardwicke entered before she
could fling off her assailant. Taking
In the situation at glance, he leaped
forward, dropped the blooms, and
threw Merriam headlong to the floor.
The doctor sprang up ut once.
"Are you, too, going to be fool"
he snarled.
Hardwicke understood. At last the
scales had fallen from his eyes, and he
could peer into the mans filthy soul.
"Go!" he said, pointing to the door.
Merriam was minded to be defiant,
but something in Hardwicke's express
sion forced him to obey. So, with an
evil sheer, he picked up his medicine
case and went out. Without spoken
word to Beatrice, her avowed lover
followed.
He overlook Merriam In the corri-
dor and pointed silently in the direc-
ton of the Doctors own room. Not
caring to raise scene just then, Mer-
riam nodded and strobe on ahead. He
would have closed the door of his bed

ter clearly intended to force an en-

but this drawback did not matter ex-
cept that 1t added to their discom-
fort. Beatrice was exhausted, Of
course. but profoundly thankful that
her life had been spared, and very
much inclined to regard Hardwicke as
a hero. owing to the GOODNESS he had
displayed in real crisis.
Supporting her tenderly. he led her
to point from which he guessed that
the hut would be visible.
Sure enough, they soon reached the
cabin. 1t was stoutly built, and quite
storm-proof.
Il am most worried about my ia
Their and mother" she confided to him.
"They will surely think am

"Oh, no." he treasured her, conf
IDENTIFY. 1.-THE boatman knows we were
bound for the island. When the gale
sprang up he would give the alarm, SO
that more than one telescope must
have seen that we were quite near the
beach, while 1t is more than probable
that the actual accident to the boat
will not be observed. The only real
trouble is that we shall have to remain
here all night"
Then, feeling tired, and as night was
drawing on, Beatrice said that she
would try and sleep, so as to be ready
for the rescuers who must surely come
with the dawn.
Half an hour passed and Hardwicke
was feeling drowsy himself, when an
electric flash which seemed to sustain
its piercing brilliance for n second or
more was followed by n thunderclap
SO close overhead that Beatrice
shrieked in dismay.
Thinking the hut had been struck,
with direful consequence to the girl,
Hardwicke rushed in, bent over the
bunk in which she was lying, and
clasped in his arms. To calm her he
remained within the hut.
In the morning, waking to blue skies
and sunlit calm, they came out to look
for the relief party which must now
be on its way. And there, seated
before the embers Of the fire, sat Doc
tor Merriam!
Hardwicke endeavored to look stern,
Gilpin observer., 1916-11-23

though failing lamentably to control
his voice.
"How long have you been here?" he
demanded shakily.
That most unwelcome visitor affect.
ed to consult his watch.
"Since nine o'clock last night" he
said, cOolly. II was fishing on the is
land and got caught by the storm-like

Hardwlcke's eyes glinted ominous-
ly then.
"Why did you not let us know of
your presence" he growleu.
"Why should II" smirked the doctor.
II knew you were here, of course. l
found your hat and the lady's hand
kerchief, with initials"
The other man was now nearly be-
side himself with rage and anxiety, be-
ing miserably conscious that Beatrice
was dropping like wllted flower.
But Doctor Merriam affected fine dis
regard of the mans anger and the
woman's distress alike.
"Why should any of us say, or even
think, disagreeable things?" he cried,
with a pleasant, off-hand air of dis
missing the affair. IAN accident Is
an accident, but 1t Is my business as
"a surgeon to repair such mishaps. You
and /, Mr.. Hardwicke, can surely be
regarded as suitable escort for II
young lady benighted on an island. We
passed the night here together. What
more Is there to be said? What more
can anyone say, even an evil-tongued
woman? l assure you, on my honor,
you two people can rely absolutely on
my discretion"
So the unhappy pair left 1t at that,
and met with some measure of conso-
lntion when Merriam's suave word ex-
planned matters to Mr.. and Mrs. Tour
neur, who, with other guests in the
hotel, formed an excited group at the
landing place to receive the castaways
from the boat sent to their assistance.
Betwser exhaustion and mental
stress Beatrice was taken i'll. Such
u sequel to an exciting adventure was
only to be expected, and everyone in
the Lakeside hotel was most sympa-
thetic.
Naturally, Doctor Merriam attended
Beatrice professionally. She was con-
fined to her room during three weary
days, but, on the fourth, was allowed
to receive visitors. Mrs. Tourneur
came upon Hardwicke on the veranda,
and told him that her daughter was up
and dressed, and awaiting him in her
sitting room. He hurried there ut

SEVENTH EPISODE
The Butterflies.
CAUGHT In the Storm.

Caught In the Storm.
A summer hotel in Lakeland-one
of those sylvan retreats in which men
and women endeavor to lay aside for
a while the everyday burdens Of life
lis too often micrOcosm of the great
outer world. John Burton, tenth mar
quis of Castleton, had never even
heard of the Lakeside hotel, and would
have been very much surprised If told
that certain tragic issues of grave i'm
port to himself were taking shape
there at the very time he was vainly
seeking rest and oblivion on q country
farm.
Yet, so strangely interviewer are the
warp and welt Of human existence, a
number Of men and women were even
then all unconsciously contriving one
Of those tangled snares Of deceit and
misery into which this unhappy young
millionaire SO often Numbered. In Or
der to understand certain incidents
which befell at date long before Bur-
ton met any Of the people concerned, 1t
is necessary to set forth the main
characters somewhat in the style Of
a play.
Thus, we have:
Beatrice TOurneur, a pretty, vivacious
and sympathetic girl in her eight
eenth year.
Arthur Hardwicke, aged thirty. New
York lawyer who has already won
repute in his profession. He has
brought his wife, an incurable in
valid to the Lakeside hotel in the
hope that mountain air may prove
beneficial.
DIR. Albert Merriam, physician in at
tendance on Mrs. Hardwicke, a man
of INSCRIPTIONS character, who
stops short of no mean device to at
tain his ends.
Marion Miller, handsome adventur-
ess, who, If the fates were kind,
should have found her affinity in the
doctor. but who was, unfortunately,
enamored of Hardwicke.
OF course, there were others In the
Cashmere shadows fitting across the
stage so far as Burton was concerned,
but he little dreamed how closely his
fortunes were destined to be bound up
with the four persons described above.
The curtain might be said to have
lifted on the tragedy on a certain af-
ternoon when Beatrice Tourneur came
in from the tennis court. gayly swing
ing her racket, and found Hardwicke
leaning over the rail of the veranda.
Near him was recumbent form, COW
cred with light wrap, who the girl
realized must be his invalid wife.
Beatrice's laughing expression
changed to one of pity. She came to
the steps of the porch. and was EVIL
IDENTIFY on the point Of uttering some
kindly inquiry when the man put a
finger on his lips. With a wan smile
he indicated that his wife was asleep.
She nodded, and sped away on tiptoe
turning at the end of the veranda I'd
wave a hand as though conveying the
message:
"You know am sorry for you. Give
poor Mrs. Hardwicke my love when
she wakesw

Of the girls was fatal. Since her eyes
were bent on the young lawyer, she
did not notice that another woman
was on the point Of coming out through
the swing.doors against which at that
instant Beatrice pressed an impetuous
elbow. As consequence, there was
a collision.
The girl apologized quite nicely. but
Miss Miller, II lady with whom she was
acquainted merely by name, grey
brick-red with anger, and asked her
why she did not look where she was
going.
Beatrice was astonished and hurt.

Alsike Clover a Good Mixture With
Timothy Or Poorly Drained Soils

favorable to the proper development
of the young plants.
The quantity of seed to be used will
depend somewhat on the condition of
the soil, but on the average from 10
to II pounds per acre have been found
quite satisfactory If mixed with
clover. from to 10 pounds of timothy
and 10 pounds of red clover, or five
pounds of red clover and three pounds
of alsike clover are generally recon-
mended.
Timothy usually is grown in rota-
ton with other crops, the timothy
commonly occupying the land for two
or three years during each rotation.
When there is a good stand of timo-
thy the yields may be increased by
top-dressing the meadows with either
farm manure or commercial fertlll-
zers. The former may be spread on
the meadow during the fall, winter, or
early spring. Commercial fertilizers
should be spread on the land in the
spring, soon after the growth OF grass
commenced When normal prices
prevail, nitrate of soda may be used
alone at the rate of 100 to 200 pounds
per acre, or it may be used in COM
bination with $50 to $50 pounds per
acre of acid phosphate.
Timothy meadows may be pastured
to some extent after the hay crop has
been harvested. When the meadow
is to produce a hay crop the follow
ing year, however, care should be TAX
en- not to let the stock Craze the grass
very closely, and when the ground is
soft animals should be kept off the
meadow.
Timothy growing in a mixture con-
sisting largely of red clover should be
cut when the clover is in full bloom
or Just past full bloom.
When timothy is growing alone 1t
should be cut as soon as possible al
ter the plants have passed the stage
of full bloom.
If timothy is to be harvested for
seed it should be cut after most OF the
heads are mature and when the seed
is beginning to shatter from the tips
of the earliest spikes. 1t may be cut
with a grain binder, shocked until
cured. and threshed with an ordinary
threshing machine. The yield of seed
usually varies from about 200 to 800
pounds per acre, though larger yields
are sometimes obtained. If the ripe
timothy is harvested without much
damage from rains, the straw has
considerable feeding value.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1916-08-30

Timothy ordinarily is grown in mix
lures. usually with red clover or with
red and alsike clOvers. In the New
England States and parts of New
York redtop commonly is added to
the mixture. Alsike clover is espec-
iaIIy to be recommended on poorly
drained soils that have a tendency to
heave. as under such conditions 1t
generally will come through the win
ter better than red clover. On such
soils redtOp can be added to good adj
vantage. The first crop of hay is
composed chiefly of clover. After the
first year most OF the clover disap-
pears and the following hay crops are
made up almost entirely of timothy
and redtop. In some of the irrigated
valleys of the Northwest alfalfa is
substituted for clover in mixture with
timothy
Timothy generally is sown with
wheat. rye, oats, or barley, which
commonly are referred to as nurse
crops. The first hay crop is pro-
duced. as a rule, the year after the
grain crop is harvested. When seed
ed with spring grains the timothy
seed, together with the clover or
grasses to be grown in mixture with
it, is sown at the same time as the
grain. When winter grain is used as
a nurse crop either portion or all
of the timothy seed may be sown with
the grain or in the spring with the
clover. When sown in early spring
the timothy may be broadcasted with
one of the various types of hand seed
ers and left on the surface of the soil
to be covered by alternate freezing
and thawing; or seeding may be de-
layed until the surface of the soil has
become somewhat dry, when the seed
should be covered with a spike-tooth
harrow.
Timothy may be sown alone in the
fall and a crop of hay harvested the
following season. In the latitude OF
northern Ohio and southern New York
the best results may be expected when
the seed is sown from about August
% to September 10, though an excel
lent stand is sometimes obtained when
sown as late as October /. If clover
is to be grown with timothy, the
clover seed may be sOwn on the field
early in the spring and left on the sur
face of the soil to be covered by
freezing and thawing.
Timothy seed always should be
sown on a well-compacted seed bed,
otherwise the conditions will be un-
