Frightened and anxious, lima
looks wildly around the room for
the man who stole her pearls. She
untangles herself from the curtains,
steps to the window and joins Har
ry. They flatten themselves against
the wall as an old woman comes
up to them. The old woman has
a pistol concealed behind her. She
speaks: u hope you got the Pearls,
my DEAR" lima admits that she
did have the Pearls, but some un
known took them from her. The
woman becomes terribly disappoin:-
ed, but manages to control it and
with Harry attempts to console
lima. who bursts into tears. Hear
ing some one approaching, lima
and Harry rush off, while the wom-
an leaves in another direction!
The next morning, lima receives
a beautiful bunch of roses. and with
them comes a note. Too bad you

door Outside the spy drops al en-

addressed to her. Opening it quick

man. Don't trust him." Signed
Kismet.
lima Immediately calls Harry on
the phone and tells him of her good
fortune AS Harry is speaking to
lima, his valet announces that a
man by the name of Stayne, one of
the gang, wishes to see him lmmed-
lately, and that he has two pearls
Harry tells lima of this and she
informs him that she will be right
over.
Stayne appears very nervous and
acts like hunted fugitive. Harry
greets him in a friendly manner
and asks what he wants so early in
the morning. Stayne signals to
Harry to dismiss his valet. as he is
there on a matter of great import
ance. Stayne attempted to steal
some silver from the Mason home
but was caught by the two brothers
Perry Mason. the elder brother
thinking that Stayne might have
something of value, searches him
Going through his pockets, he found
the two pearls. Perry kept one
and gave the other back to Stayne
To play safe, Perry forced Stayne
to give him his finger prints and
then let him 90. This morning

crime.

half delirious with cold and fren-

him together until he could tell
of his wife dying in confinement
at Meadows. His horse, unable
to go farther, had been abandon
ed five miles up the trail. A
neighbor was aroused, and at II
o'clock the three men on horses
commenced the 30-mile journey
across mountains, through gorges
and over flooded, freezing streams.
None of the three remembers
much about the trip. The cold
was numbing. The wind, fortu-
nately, was for the most part be-
hind them, otherwise the horses
would have refused to go; as it
was, they wallowed and founder

What Country Doctors GOThrOugh

Some idea of what a doctor is
obliged to go through in sparsely-
settled regions of this western
country may be had by reading
the following from the American
Magazine:
A wonderful doctor in Adams
county, western Idaho covers a
territory twice as large as Rhode
Island. Here is one of his expert
ences.
'Three feet of snow had fallen;
rain came, followed by zero tenn
perature, more snow and a driving
wind. The uncertain railroad
running the length of the valley
was blocked and it's one telegraph
wire was down. At 10 o'clock in
the night a man came to the doc
tors house and flung himself

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys a loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but it is poorer
bread, and the British government is
paying $2OO,OOO,OOO year toward the
cost of 1t.
All the grain grown in Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This is
turned over to the mills by the govern
. ment at a price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf of four pounds
to sell at Is cents, the two pound loaf
at cents and the one pound loaf at
cents. -, '.t- :..
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
16 cents.

NEED BIC HERDS
EurOpe'S Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flecks and
herds in order to meet Europe's ire
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tration reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government In in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9TH
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres Of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain fields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS;
November and December, $16.O8; Jan
larry, $14.40 The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,SO7 900 head Of
cattle in 1918, she now has only 49,
341, 900, a decrease of 1875 per cent.
And France Is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Ad-
ministration that the future problem
of America lies largely in the produc-
ton of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than In the pro-
duction of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

MAKING MEATLEss
~ DAYS PERMANENT.

In the meatless menu there is a fer
tile field for developing new and nOur-
ishing dishes, according to e. II. Niles,
writing in the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lieves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served in very small portions as fla
vOring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
Q broad field for investigation.

Allies Superiority
Seen by Hun Paper

LONDON, Sept. 24.-The Allied sue
cesscs in France. Macedonia and Pales-
tine have led the "Colognc Gazette" to
anxious consideration regarding future
military developments.
We must dc Foch the justice to say
he is apparently beginning to obtain on
big scale that strategcal unity he
has already obtained on French soil >
says this leading German newspaper.
After reviewing the situation in the
various theatres Of war it comedies
that the prosecution from all sides OF
an offensive against the alliance of the
Central Powers would be a master
stroke. Having mentioned the unity of
command and the superiority of the
Allies IN men and material as condi-
tons favoring them, the "GaZette" con-
tnueS:
Eve have already pointed out the
envlable secrecy observed i'm the manu-
tacture OF armored tanks and the train
ing Of their crews, which now number
not thousands but tens Of thousands.
10 these must be added the increase in
the number Of guns. mine throwers.
dame projectors, machine guns gas
and fog ammunition and airplancs of
all kinds.
NO proof is necessary that German
industry is unable to accomplish this
IN similar quantities. Especially as re-
CARDS the armored tanks there is no
doubt that the numerical superiority
is on the side Of the enemy and that
he IS bound to utilize it to the utmost"
