in financial troubles, which was pretty
ance of Mr.. Tryon, benevolent ancient
man of wealth. Tryon never refused
him money, but didn't hand out as
much as the colonel thought was nee
essary. Mr.. Tryon's mind ran on shil-
lings, while that of the colonel ran on
pounds. In those days, as in our own
times, the man who makes q business
of high wassail needs large income,
and the colonel's embarrassments grew
and multiplied. He realized that a
good haul was necessary to get him out
of his difficulties. The idea of robbing
Mr.. Tryon at once occurred to him. OF
course 1t was rather mean to pillage
man who had befriended him so
much, but no good business man allows
sentiment to interfere with commerce.
So it happened that on the night of
January 8, Mr.. Tryon woke from a
deep dream of peace to find a huge
masked figure bending over his bed.
The figure held lanthorn in one hand,
and horse pistol, about the size of a
hitching post, in the other. While this
Intruder stood guard, second robber
bound the old man cruelty and gagged
him. He was trussed up so tight he
had great difficulty in breathing.
Leaving him in this shape, the maraud-
ers ransacked the premises and carried
away $4,000 in money. and jewelry to
the salue OF $4,000. After two or
three hours Of misery, Mr.. Tryon man.
aged to free himself of the gag and
yelled so shrilly that the night
watch came to his relief.
The robbery remained a mystery for
about twenty-four hours. 1t happened
that Mr.. Tryon had friend. an alder
man, who was fond of sleuthing, and
this alderman soon traced the crime to
Turner, and recovered the money and
Jewels where that gallant warrior had
hidden them. And as Pepys intimated.
the robbery was the talk of the town,
and continued TO be for many long
day. II was one of the first important
burglnries in he criminal annals of
England.

headuear in War.

The German army was equipped
with steel helmets long before the war
was begun. After the conflict was well
under way the French discovered that
the percentage of head wounds sus-
tanned by their soldiers was much
greater than the percentage in the
German army. The French adopted
the steel helmet. The British follow
ed suit, and now even the slow-moving
Russians have equipped small part
of their forces with the best form of
protection against head wounds. After
Russia comes the United States with

partment that steel helmets for Amer.

m THE night Of January 10. 1864,
~ just before retiring to his virtuous
couch, Samuel Pepys wrote the follow
ing In that diary of his, which was
destined to become world-famous long
after his death:
"All our discourse tonight was about
Mr.. Tryon's late being robbed; and
that Colonel Turner Ga mad, swearing,
confident fellow, we'll known by all.
and by mel one much indebted to this
man for his very livelihood, was the
man that either did it or plotted 1t /;
and the money and the things are
found in his hand, and he and his wife
are now in Newgate for it; of which
we are all glad, so very known rogue
he was"
Col. James Turner was the sort of
man you read about In historical nov
els. A swaggerer and rufiier, with his
hand ever upon his swordhilt, and his
eye quick to read offense in look or
a smile. He was great drinker and
gambler and spent his evenings in the
inns, where he kept the varlets busy
drawing sack. In his day he had been
a mighty soldier and had demonstrate
ed that he was brave man upon sew
eral fields. He had made a hit with
King Charles, too, for he was man
after the kings own heart. He was
humorous and jovial. and had no re-
spect whatever for the moral law.
The colonel had many false friends,
and one true friend. Whenever he was

Fealty Of Partners.

A member of the New York supreme
court, reproving a New York firm of
architects for canceling an agreement,
says: Authorities unanimously agree
that there is scarcely any relation In
life which calls for more absolute good
faith than the relation of partners"
Also, "a purer and more elevated NOR
atty is demanded of partners than the
common morality Of the trade" The
meaning is that an individual who
transacts business for himself may
look out solely for himself, while a
partner must never consider his own
advantage apart from that Of his as
sociates.

Unearned lnerem.n. Measured In Crop.

The average value of farm land
throughout the United States In 1910,
aside from buildings, was $32.49 an
acre, according to the census. In 1916,
according to the department of agrlcul-
ture, this value had grown to $3.50
an Increase of 40 per cent. Since the
total value of farm lands, aside from
buildings, was returned in 1910 as
S2S,4T5OO0,0o0, the total increment
since then must be more than eleven
billions.

No land agents are allowed to op-

The state is protecting Itself against

those who are financially able TO car
