I Not here YETI" Agnes queried
That's strange. Have you looked
outside the door for il?
Yes, ma'am, and it's not there,
the girl said hurriedly as she left the
room.
Down in the bottom of the paper
box in the kitchen lay the morning
journal where Jennie had thrust it an
hour ago. AS she went about hel
work with trembling hands the bold
black headline she had seen on the
first page repeated itself over and over
in her mind.

At another time the maids man

were too much occupied by her pro-
blems and fears for er to look be-
yond them.

nes announced as she pushed her
chair back from the table. II shall

The druggist nodded to her pleas
antly as she entred the store where
she was in the habit of dealing. Re-
turning his salutation absent-minded-
ly she went into the booth and gave
the number with which she was Sc
familiar.
No" a hostile voice replied to
her query as to whether Mr.. Hale was
in. He amt in and won't be in to-
day. Good-by."

Gee, 1 don't knowI' the lad re-

What's terrible?" the girl asked
Didn't you see the mornin' paper -
the boy demanded, a ring of excite
ment betraying his joy at being able
to impart information of a thrilling
character. why Mr.. Philip shot Mr.
Bainbridge last night and killed him
He's in the Tombs now. Isn't that ter
rible enough?"
But the girl did not reply She
raised one hand weakly and hung the
receiver on the hook, then her knees

down into darkness.

CHAPTER LNI.

CHAPTER LNI.
Copyright, 1916, Star Company
The few hours of sleep that came
to Agnes Morley that night were dis
turbed by dreams of Philip Hale.
In the intervals of wakefulness she
recollected that she had not heard
from him since he had left her with
the threat against Bainbridge on his
lips.
With the morning, she dragged her
self wearily from her bed, and dressed
herself slowly. All energy had left
her. A hundred possibilities COM
bined to trouble her. and she started
nervously as a ring at the doorbell
sounded through the fiat.
She hurried out into the hall and
met Jennie holding in her hand a tele-
gram as if she were afraid it might
explode and cause fatal injury.
Sure, ma'am," the maid began.
Whatever do you suppose this is for
at this hour of the morpin'
But she stopped abruptly as Agnes
snatched the envelope from her and
tore it open, then gasped with relief
as she read the contents.
Its from DIR. Martini" she explain
ed. Miss Morley was operated on
yesterday afternoon. She is doing
very WELL
She caught her breath with q little
sob. but no tears came to her eyes.
" QUILL be wanting to go to see her,
won't you, Miss Agnes?" Jennie ask
ed.
"Yes; soon after breakfast I wiiI."
Agnes said.
Then she turned back into her own
room and shut the door. She felt
that she must be alone for little
while before facing even Jennie.
The Paper Not There
Perhaps Philip and Bainbridge had
quarreled. Perhaps one of them had
been hurt. She had good cause. she
reflected bitterly. to know that Balm
bridge had violent temper. He was
big and powerful.
Then she reminded herself that her
aunt was safe. Yes-she was glad this
was so. But she wished that she
might hear from Phil!
She did not notice Jennie's silence
as the girl brought her a cup of cof-
fee and set it down by her. Agnes
only glanced about for the morning
paper which usually came long before
this hour. Jennie saw the look, and
spoke before her mistress could ques-
ton her.
Your papers not here, Miss Nor
ley" she stammered.

MORE WHEAT HAS
BEEN SOWN HERE
State Reports Indicate an In
crease in Acreage Devoted
to the Cereal

Large increases in the acreage sown
to wheat for 1917 harvest are noted in
the reports received by the State De-
partment of Agriculture, which places
the present acreage at 1,373,500 acres
as compared with 1,33S,000 acres last
season.
The department says in its bulletin:
THE increased acreage is due to the
large demand and increased price re-
ceived for 1916 wheat and shows about
3 per cent. increase in the State. Large
increases are shown in Bedford, Brad
ford, Crawford, Elk. Erie, Indiana,
Pike, Tioga and York counties. The
wheat was sown late this fall in order
to avoid the ravages of the Hessian fly
and few reports of the presence of the
fly in 1915 wheat have been reported.
In many parts of the State drought
prevailed at seeding time and this
made 1t necessary to wait for more
favorable conditions. The condition
of the wheat in the ground for this
season of the year stands at 9S per
cent. and the grain. in most instances,
gained n good start before the ground
froZe. It is estimated that the area
seeded to rye is 263, 400 acres, which
is l per cent. smaller than the area
seeded one year ago. The condition

the average at this season of the year.
Columbia Delaware, Greene and Lack
awanna counties show increases in
acreage"
The department also announced that
the smallest buckwheat crop that has
been reported in years was produced
on the Pennsylvania farms during the
past season. Reports to the depart
ment make the estimated production
$3.50, 900 bushels. about four-fifths of
an average crop.
Last years crop was estimated al
$40, 900 bushels, an average of 20
bushels to an acre, while the average
this year was only 16 bushels to an
acre. Districts which last year pro-
duced an average of from 20 to 26
bushels to an acre show yields of from
Is to 20 bushels to an acre. while the
low average of II bushels last season
has been reached in many counties
this year, some going as low as and
bushels to an acre. The best average
Yields were obtained in Bedford. Berks
Bucks, Center, Dauphin, Lehigh, Mont
gomery and Northampton counties.
The season was not a good one for
successful buckwheat production. Con-
ditions were unfavorable at seeding
time and the drought and hot sun
when the grain was in bloom had their
damaging effect

Here is little bath robe that will de-
light the young wearer and make him
thoroughly cosey and comfortable no
matter how cold the morning may be.
1t is simple little robe and it is smart
little robe at the same time. 1t is easy to
make SO that mother can undertake it
without hesitancy, and it is Just as cosey
as it can be. In the picture, it is made
from flannel with ribbon bandings but
flannel means eiderdown and the regular
bath robe fiannels and also the lighter
weights. Which will be better will de-
pend entirely upon where the little owner
is sleeping, how cold his room is likely to
be and special conditions of the sort.
The pockets are placed exactly as are
those worn by the big folk, so that the
little child will be made very happy by
that possession. Either a cord or a belt
can be used to confne the robe. In the
smaller front view, it is shown made Of
eiderdown flannel in pale blue and is
bound with wash silk. That combination
is practical for the materials both are
washable. In fact, all the materials that
are suggested for bath robes of the kind
can be cleansed with soap and water for
such condition is absolutely essential for
the children's garments. The collar can
be buttoned up about the throat or rolled
open.
