ton going on between Toll and a rough-looking man, seated at a table and menacingly confronting his visitor.
 "Yes, it's me-" he spoke, "and I sent for you. I've been locked up for four years and just got out. 1 want a stake to start in at my old business and you're going to furnish it. Cos whs-" Because the first thing I did was to | find out if the records of our old busi- ness dealings were where I left them when I went to the penitentiary. They were, they're explicit enough to send you over the road. I've got them with me and I want one thousand dollars cash for them, now, here and quick"
 let me look at the papers" spoke Toll quaveringly.
 He ran over the packet of incriminat- 1 ing documents, replaced it. his hand trembling, upon the table, and drew out a wallet. Then he counted out several bills and handed them to his compan- ion, took up the papers, thrust them in his pocket of his outside coat and arose to his feet.
 "Youve, got me, Parton" he re- marked grimly, "but don't you ever cross my path again"
 No danger, I'm scarce for place where I'm too well known" observed the criminal briefly
 Toll left the room and started down the stairs, and the man who had blackmailed him prepared to leave also. Lee went slowly down the stairs, feeling his way, for Che light in the corridor was dim.
 Lee had slu&k to a side passage, but as Toll got halfway down the stars he hastened after him.
 'Why don't you take the whole stair way" he growled, crowding past Toll and pushing him roughly nearly top bling him over As he did this Lee deft- ly thrust his hand into the coat side pocket. His fingers closed over the packet. He transferred it to his own pocket He was out in the street be- fore Toll had stumbled his way out of the old rookery. Then it was that Toll discovered the loss of his papers. Lee did not know, nor care, but the next morning the eXdetectiye entered the office of the old money grabber.
 Very clearly he told who he was and his knowledge of the infamous persecution of Darcy and of Tolls own eonniyanee with criminals.
 "A certain check and a confession and you can have the documents" :" cooIly announced Lee. "Otherwise I shall do what you once threatened against MT. Moore-go to the district attorney"
 When Lee visited the Boyd home he was told that Miss Elya was absent. Miss Beuah her sister, was in the house. Would she do? Oh, beyond doubt! In fact, since taking up the case Lee had met the charming lady several times and was happy for the privilege.
 There was admiration, approval, keen appreciation in the expression of the face of Beulah as Lee announced that he had drawn the talons of the man who was set on destroying the happiness of Darcy Moore.
 Very soon Mir. Gerald Toll under stood the situation and discontinued his unwelcome visits to the Boyd domi- ciIe. There was double wedding, for Lee could not forget Beulah, told her so, and found her in the same delight full frame of mind.

 The farm practices that cause eXees- sivc erosion are continuous cultivation, shallow blowing, furroWiug with the slopes, leaving the land bare in winter neglect of guliies and the exhaustion of organic natter
 Practices tending to control erosion are systematic rotations containing fewer cultivated crops and more hay and pasture crops the gradual deepen ing of soil by occasional deep blowing, the use of bafHyard and green maHares. winter cover crops such as rye and wheat. and prompt attention to gullies and ditches.

CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUBS.

1t will not be many days before
the Christmas Savings clubs which
have been operated in this city by
the Paris banks will Deg1n the work
Of distributing the sums which
have been placed with them for safe
keeping and savings account by
hundreds of patrons during the
long months intervening between
last Christmas and this December
25th
The paying of this Christmas
Savings fund is always signal for
Christmas shopping to begin in
earnest for many who has been hold
ing back for that purpose, and when
this money is turned loose in Paris
there will be a noticeable increase
in the volume of business done in
the local stores. OF course, the mer-
chants will be correspondingly
happy.
Things will be Quite busy at the
Paris banks when the distribution
of this fund begins. Usually when
these payments are made there is
long line of members waiting for
their turn to receive those nicely-en-
graved checks that are a testimo-
NAL to the spirit of thrift and saw
ing. These checks can be cashed at
any Of the banks or at any store or
business house where the holder is
transacting his or her Christmas
shopping.
In the years past since the first
Christmas Savings Club was organ
lied in Paris many thousands of dol
lars have been saved and passed out
again to patrons of the banks.
There has been no waning Of their
popularity, and many a fellow may
thank his stars that he was induced
to join a Christmas Savings Club,
as he has thereby been enabled to
have money for his Christmas shop
uing that he would not otherwise
have had.
The distribution of the accumu-
lated Christmas savings in the
Christmas Clubs in the four Paris
banks will be finished this week.
The Deposit-Peoples began paying
yesterday a sum of $4,000 in their
club. The three others will send
out checks tomorrow as follows:
The First National Bank of Paris,
$4,000: the Farmers and Traders
Bank. $4,000, and the Bourbon-AS-
ricultural Bank & Trust Co, S10.-
600. This will make a total approx
imately of $4,000, which will be
paid out this week.
This is the most popular form of
Christmas saving that has ever been
introduced in Paris, and it is expect
ed when the clubs are opened for
1918 there will be many new men,
hers on the lists. Full announce
ment of the time will be given in
THE NEWS. so that all may have
plenty of time to get In on the
ground floor.
