HERD H0LSTEINS
At COUNTY FARM

pervisOr Charles BrunStr0m Bring
Cattle From Wisconsin.

Each Subjected to Tuberculin Test Be-
fore Accepted Total Cost Said
to Be About $500.

The long cherished plan of Frank B.
Wylie, superintendent of the county
infirmary, of adding the dairy business
to other farm activities that he has in
augurated at the poor farm to make
the place self-sustaining, became a
partial reality when dairy herd OF
Holsteins, q COWS, one bull, and four
calves, purchased at Oxford, Wis, ar
rived at the farm
The herd was brought from Oxford
by Mr.. Wylie and Charles Brunstrom,
Moline, supervisor, both men making
the trip home by freight train, and TAX
ing care of the stock enroute.
Riding a freight train is novel ex-
perience," said Mr.. Brunstrom. The
one we were on was made up part of
the way Of nearly a hundred cars and
our greatest difficulty was in getting
something to eat. In the smaller towns
where we stopped up north the caboose
would be nearly mile from the sta
ton, at least it seemed that far when we
| got down each time to the task of
| tramping in the face of bitter weather
| to the town eating house"
| Mr.. Brunstrom and Mr. Wylie were
accompanied to Wisconsin by William
/ Hoffman, an expert dairyman of Rural
| township, whose advice was worth
having when various purchases were
considered. Several towns were Wis
tied before just the herd that was
wanted was found, at Oxford. After
the deal had been closed Mr.. Hoffman
returned home at once; the two county
officials put in an entire week on the

quaintances in the big city.
A free life in the West had made
him different from the average city
bred young man; he thought the me-
tropolis stiff and its people devoid of
interest
Suddenly, as he leaned out, survey
ing the huge buildings and specializing
how many thousand lives ran on in
them, light sprang into being in the
building opposite, on the fifth floor,
on level with his. Behind a drawn
shade he saw the silhouette of man.
He was STOPPING over a table and,
as Cray watched, he saw the shadow
of woman behind him. Suddenly her
hand plunged downward The elon-
gated object in it looked like a
poniard. 1t struck the man in the side
of the neck and he rolled over.
The woman stood looking at him for
a moment then, with gesture of
triumph, she flung the poniard out of
the window, raising the shade little.
Cray heard a metallic tinkle in the
court below. Then followed darkness.
He leaned out, astounded at what
he had seen and hardly believing it
real. How long he waited he did not
know. Suddenly his bell rang.
He went out into the passage and
saw, standing outside the door, one of
the most beautiful women whom he
had ever mot. She was twenty-three or
four. Her eyes cleaned with feverish
intensity. her hair was disheveled
and her hands were red.
Save me. Hide me, Help mel" she
pleaded.
Cray did not hesitate an instant. He
pulled her through the doorway and
led her to the bathroom. He filled the

basin and washed her hands, drying
them on towel afterward. Then he
took her into his spare room.
You're quite safe here" he said in
low voice. Nobody saw you come
in. You can stay as long as you want
to-"
She crouched in a corner, glazing at
him like hunted beast. He hest
tated, then he closed and bolted the
window and withdrew, leaving the
door open.
For half an hour he waited, fearing
that he would hear the bolt snap, that
she would try to plunge down into the
court below. But hardly a sound
came from the room. When at last he
returned she was lying on the floor
asleep.
He placed her on the couch and she
did not awaken. Her sleep was of
profound exhaustion. All night Cray
sat up, waiting. Sometimes he stole
in to look at her, but she never
stirred. 1t was not till the sun was
well up that he heard her moving.
She came forward unsteadily and
looked in at him as he sat by the
window.
Where am u" she cried. who

Cray rose and took her by tho
hands. Il ara a friend" he answered.
You ere safe here-sate TO come or

She burst into hysterical sobbiag-
When at last he had quoted her the
girl told Cray her story.
She had met a man in her home in
Virginia. three months before He
had asked her to be his wife Her
parents mistrusted him; she followed
him steaithily, to learn tco late that
all that had been said about him was
true He was q gambler, swindler.
She remembered those three months
with loathing Her horror of him had
grown. He had deceived her with a

The real Edith Mead was dancing

First Idea of Steam PIoNulnn.

The idea of the use of engines and
machinery to pillow the ground seems
to hav originated with David RAM

but the motive power they proposed
to use is not quite clear. Francis
Moore in 1869 first attempted to use
the steam engine for this purpose.

Webb Kenyon Law Does Not Apply, Says Chan

Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 2S.-Chancel- Tor Heiskell today dissolved the in- junction against Max Miller, wholesale liquor dealer, restraining him from conducting interstate trade in liquor The court held that the Webb-Kenyon liquor act does not prevent interstate liquor business in Tennessee.
 The decision is in direct opposition to ruling by Federal Judge Mccall who held that the WebbKenyon law made it illegal to ship liquor out of Tennessee.
 Chancellor Heiskell contends the law permits bringing liquor into the state for resale in interstate business
 The ruling means the reopening of scores of liquor houses in Memphis and West Tennessee.
