1 THE REAL MAN |
Il BY FRANCIS LYNDE


always, and with a wisdom that
makes me almost afraid of you. For
example, there was the night when l
was fairly on the edge of letting Jib-
bey stay in the mine and go mad If
he wanted to: you lashed me with the
one word that made me save his life
instead of taking it. How did you
know that was the one word to say?
"How do we know anything?" she
| inquired softly. ""The moment D. ngs
it's own inspiration. 1t broke my
| heart to see what you could be, and
to think that you might not be it,
after all. But 1 came out here this
morning to talk about something else.
What are you going to do when you
are able to leave Sunrise Gulch|
"The one straightforward thing
there is for me to do. I shall go back
to Lawrenceville and take my medi-
cine"
"And after that?"
"That is for you to say, Corona.
Would you marry a cOnvict?"
"You are not guilty"
"That is neither here nor there. They
will probably send me to prison, just
the same, and the stigma will be mine
to wear for the remainder Of my life.
1 can wear it now, thank God! But to
pass 1t on to yOu-and to your chill
dren, Corona if l could get
my own consent to that, you couldn't
get yours"
Eyes, l could, John; got it the first
time colonel-daddy brought me out
here and let me see you. You were
out of your head, and you thought you
were talking to Billy Starbuck-in the
automobile on the night when you were
going with him to the fight at the dam.
1t made me go down on my two knees,
John, and kiss your poor, hot hands"
He slipped his one good arm around
her and drew her close.
"Now 1 can go back like a man and
fight it through to the end" he exulted
soberly. "Jibbey will take me; know
he is wearing himself out trying to
make me believe that he can wait, and
that Verda understands, though he
won't admit it. And when it is all
over, when they have done their worst
to me-"
With a quick little twist she broke
away from the encircling arm.
"John, DEAR" she said, and her voice
was trembling between laugh and G
sob, "Tm the wickedest, wickedes
woman that ever lived and breathed-
and the happiest! 1 knew what yot
would do, but l couldn't resist thu
temptation to make you say it. Lis

SAVED Her jewels
Former Russian Czarina Sent
Gems to Germany.
Treasure Estimated to BE Worth 500,
0o0,ooo Kept Out of Hands of the
ReVoIutionists.

The Russian royal jewels, including
the gems that incrusted the imperial
Romanoff crown, are safe from the
democratic hands Of the new rulers in
Petrograd. With a wOmanS intuitive
knowledge of trouble ahead, the for
mer czarina had them tucked away in
a safe deposit vault in her ancestral
city of Darmstadt, Germany, right at
the beginning of the war.
And there they will remain until Mr..
and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again,
says the New York Tribune
The story of the Russian royal jew
els is told in the Chronicle by writer
who says that the former czarina
was largely responsible for the war, in
that she assured her German friends
and relatives that Russia would not be
formidable antagonist. She proceed
ed to prove this antebellum prediction
by pro-German intrigue which ended
with the revolution and the overthrow
of the Romanoff dynasty.
But the former czarina, who, before
her marriage was Princess Alexandra
Alice of Hesse, had no illusions about
Germany. Accordingly, she packed up
the family jewels in the summer of
1914, when she saw the international
war clouds appear, and sent them in
charge of trusted messengers to her
brother, the grand duke of Hesse, for
safe keeping till peace was restored
The royal emissaries Travelled by the
way Of Finland and Sweden. They
reached their destination before the
mobilization of the Russian army was
complete.
The tale of the czarina's German
fOrehandedness in the matter of saving
the family gems is said to have been
revealed by members of the Russian
commission, who visited New York
city recently.
A New York society woman had her
eye peeled for bargains in royal jew.
elry and approached members of the
commission on the subject of purchas
ing a string of rare pearls which she
had seen the former czarina wear al
fashionable European resort some
| years dSO. Olle WAS LOlu ludI SIG WOulC
have to talk to Mrs. Romanoff OF hel
brother, the grand duke of Hesse.
Ivan Narodny, Russian business
man and writer of New York, cor
roborated the article in the Chronicle
Mr.. Narodny said it was impossible tt
place an exact value on the royal jew
els, but estimated that they ought t.
bring close to $1OO,OOO,OOO in the mar
ket. He said they were of far create
intrinsic value than the historic jewel
deposited in the Kremlin, which ar
safe.
The disappearance of the royal jew
els became known about month afte
the revolution, when the provisiona
governments appraisers were takin
an inventory of the Hermitage, one o
the structures of the winter palace
where the treasures were supposed t
be kept. according to Mr.. Narodny.
''When the vaults of the Hermitag
were opened the jewel boxes wer
gone" said Mr.. Narodny. ''The i'm
perial crown reposed on its sill
cushion in one chamber of the vault
but all Of its stones were found to
Of paste"

Find Real FIyinu Draoon.

What is said to be the only reptile
that can fly has been recently discov-
cred in Borneo. This creature is liz
ard about ten inches long, its body
brilliantly colored. 1t does not have
wings in the usual understanding of
the term, but its ribs, widely extended,
enable the lizard to soar in much the
same way that an airplane or bird
drifts on a current of air. These fly
ing lizards commonly travel in swarms,
freQuenting the deepest forests, says
an exchange. Seen at distance they
are said to look much like birds, with
their brilliantly hued bodies. Science
has not as yet hit upon name for the
newly discovered specie Of reptile, but
has called it the flying dragon, which
seems an excellent name, everything
considered.

ORGANIC MATTER IN STRAW
Three Dollars Worth of PIantfood
Contained in Every Ton-ShouId
Be Applied to Soil.
Farmer, spare that straw stack

''rhree dollars worth of plantfood
goes up in smoke every time ton of
straw is burned" DECLARES R. I.
Throckmorton. associate professor of
agronomy in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. "Many Kansas farmers
are overlooking the chief by-product
of the farm.
''The soils in Kansas are becoming
deficient rapidly in organic matter and
straw is a means of increasing that
content. Wheat fields produce quanti-
ties of available straw"
The best way to use straw is to
bed stock with it. By this method
the moisture content of the manure is

absorbed by the straw. What straw
cannot be used in this manner can be
applied as a surface dressing to soil
in the late fall or winter months.
Straw should be scattered with uni
form thickness at the rate of one ton
per acre. The surface dressing acts
as q soil mulch and thus prevents loss
of water during rains. 1t also aids in
holding the snow and in preventing
winter killing.
