noiselessly toward the Hargreave place. He passed a man leaning against lamppost, but he never turned to look at him.
 This man, however, threw away his cigar and hot-footed it to the nearest pay station. He knew in his soul that he had just seen the man for whom they had been hunting all these weary but strenuous weeks-Stanley liar greave in the flesh, Half an hour after his telephone message the chief of the Black Hundred and many lesser lights were on their way to the house of mystery. Had they but known,
 Now, the man who had created this tremendous agitation went serenely on. He proceeded directly and fear lessly to the front door, produced a latchkey and entered. He passed through the hall and reception room to the library and paused on the threshold dramatically. Florence stepped back with a sharp cry of alarm She had heard the hall door open and close and had taken it for granted that Jones had entered.
 There was a tableau of short dura- tion.
 Don't you know me?" asked the stranger in a singularly pleasant voice.
 Florence had been imposed upon too many times. She shook her head defiantly, though her knees shook so that she was certain that the least touch would send her over.
 T am your father, child!"
 Florence slipped unsteadily behind the desk and seized the revolver which lay In the drawer The man by the curtains smiled sadly It was a smile that caused Florence to waver a bit. Still she extended her arm
 You do not believe me?" said the man, advancing slowly.
 No. have been deceived too many times. sir Stay where you are. You will wait here till my butler returns. Oh, if l were only sure!" she burst out suddenly and passionately. What proof have you that you are what you say?"
 He came toward her. holding out his hands. This, that you cannot shoot me. An. the damnable wretches :! What have they done to you. my child. to make you suspicious of every one? How I have watched over you in the street, 1 will tell you what only Jones and the reporter know, that the avia- tor died, that 1 alone was rescued, that gave Norton the five thousand; :; that watched the windows of the Rus sian woman, and overheard nearly ev- cry plot that was matched in the coun- cil chamber of the Black Hundred; ;

Early History of Pittsburah.

The investment of all there was of Pittsburgh at the time by the victo- rious army of General Forbes was completed November 25. 175S, the day following the blowing up of Fort Du. quesne by the French and the flight of them and their Indian allies. The small and scattered forces command ed by the dying General Forbes, who had insisted on being brought on for the celebration of the fall of the fort, assembled at the meeting of the wa. ters." one strong detachment under General Armstrong having come down from Kittaning by nasty marching, at which place they had fought severe battle with the Indians. the general being later honored by having the county named for him of which Kit taning is the county seat.

Much money and valuable time is lost each year in almost every local. ity in the attempt to put unprofitable acres on a paying basis. Lack of sat isfactory agricultural credit forces many deserving family to waste time in trying to get start on acres that moneyed men pass by. Misleading ad vertisements and inflated magazine articles have lured many family to to drag out miserable existence in toll and worry on worthless land. Lack of knowledge of the business side of farming is largely responsible for loss in the management of unprof- itable acres The problem of how to prevent a waste of money, time and energy in the attempt to develop worthless land is worthy of careful study. At best such waste can only partially be prevented. The pity of it is that so much of this loss falls on those who can least afford to lose.
 Every farmer who owns unprofit- able land should make detailed ex- duiudllOu Ol ulS ldIIu, acre Uy dCTc, lO detect all unproftable areas. Next, he should determine the approximate cost of making each acre pay it's way. Such study will disclose what and how much is needed in the way of manure, commercial fertilizer, drain- age or other preparation, to produce satisfactory crop yields. This andy tical study of each portion of the farm will sometimes call attention to many acres that cannot be cultivated prof. itably. It is better to leave such land in permanent pasture, or even to let it lie idle, than to work it at loss. The farm not only furnishes a home, but it is a place of business. AS such, each enterprise and acre should re- ceive individual attention, and, so far as practicable, the entire farm should be placed on paying basis"

SPHERE FOR WOMAN DOCTOR
Properly Taken the Place That Is Her Right.

They tell us now that We are the fighting sex. Why have we been so long? Ardent, beautiful, sweet as a nut, with nut-brown eyes under lids like pointed white flames. with her rip bling wing of hair in the same sweet. hot tones, with her tall grace and grave glance and white. expert, sensi- tive hands-the scientists hands which take account of a hair-why is she here-this woman-bending over her tubes and flasks and microscope instead of in drawing room, with bowls of white hyacinths at her el- bow? Why, within sixty years after medicine is open to women. are 10000 practicing in this country alone? Is it because we are tired of ignorance in pity?
 If there were no other field for woman doctors, unmarried mothers would make a place in the world for them. If there is any psychology of sex. or sex antagonism. or sisterhood among women. or any of the other things we talk of so gayly in our search to get at the truth about men and women. surely it is easier to look into a woman's eyes than into a mans when you hear that you are to un- dertake motherhood outside the plan society has for this service to it.
 ''l am woman myself and l know what you bear"-the eyes of the wom- an doctor answer to those others which meet hers in their first startled comprehension.-The Metropolitan.

They will be in this house for me within half an hour. and not one of them will leave 1t in freedom, l am your father. Florence. am the lonely father who has spent the best years of his life away from you in order to secure your safety. Can't you feel the truth of all this?"
 No. no. Please do not approach any nearer; stay where you are,"
 At that moment the telephone rang. With the revolver still leveled she picked up the receiver.
 Hello. hello! Who is it? . Oh, Jim. Jim. come at once. am holding at bay a man who says he is my father. Hold him where he is. you say? All right, will. Come quick"
 "Jim!" murmured the man, still ad- vancing, He must have that revolver The poor child might spoil the whole affair "So what Jones tells me is true; that you are going to marry this reporter chap"
 She did not answer.
 With or without my consent?"
 If only he would drop that fearless smile! she thought. With or without anybodys consent" she said.
 What in the world can l say to you to convince you7" he cried. The trap is set; but if Braine and his men come and find us like this, good heaven. child. we are both lost! Come, come!"

 And now" said Jones, shaking his shoulders.
 'Well?' said Hargreave. My business is done. Still" Jones paused
 Go on" said Hargreave soberly Well, the truth is, sir, I've grown used to you. And if you'll let me play the butler till the end shall be most happy"
 "I was going to suggest It." Norton took Florence by the hand and drew her away.
 Where are you taking me-" she asked.
 I'm going to take this pretty hand of yours and put it flat upon S1000,- 900. And if you don't believe it, fol low me-

This appeared to him to be very reason able price for farm in that region, until a careful analysis of the proposi- ton called his attention to the large amount of waste land on the farm.

All itcui- ized study of the farm. acre by acre, and detailed study of fences, build ings and other improvements, should always be made before purchasing. Such investigation often calls atten- ton to enough unprofitable acres to stop the sale.
 Utilization of Unprofitable Acres.
 "To what extent and at what rate we should attempt to decrease the number of unprofitable acres depends largely on the increased demand for agricultural products. The law of di- minishing returns prevents the re- clamation of waste land until the ris- ing prices or cheaper methods of pro- duction make such action practicable. Frequently it pays better to spend time and money in the further i'm provement of acres that are now prof itab'e rather than in the reclamation of less desirable land.
