Il don't know any such thing. If
you want to make me happy, Caroline,
you couldn't find a better way than to
be Jim Pearson's wife. And you
would be happy, too; you said So"
But l am not thinking of happi-
ness. 1t is my duty-to you and to my
own self respect. And not only that,
but to Steve Some one must provide

what do you mean?"
What 1 say" The captain was
very much excited and for once CON-
pletely off his guard. 'I've had plans
for Steve all along. He's doin' fust
rate in that brokers' Office, learnin' the
trade. When he's out of college I'm
goin' to turn over your dads seat on
the stock exchange to him. Not give
it to him, you know-not right off-but
let him try, and then, if he makes a
good fist at it. he'll have it permanent.
I amt told him, and 1 don't want you
to, but it's what I've planned for him,
and
Wait! Wait, uncle, please! The
Stock Exchange seat? Fathers seat?
l don't see-I don't understand"
Yes, yes eagerly; your pas seat
I've meant it for Steve. There's been
chances enough to sell it, but
wouldn't do that. Twas for him, Caro-
line, and he's goin' to have it."

By the light from the doorway he
saw that she was gazing at him with
a strange expression. She looked as
if she was about to ask another ques-
ton. He waited, but she did not
ask it,
The Stock Exchange seat had been
a part of her fathers estate, a part of
her own and Steve's inheritance. How
could Captain Warren have retained
such costly part of the forfeited es-
tate in his possession? For it was In
his possession: he was going to give it
to her brother when the latter left
college. Who was this mysterious
man her father had defrauded? She
had never wished to know before; now
she did. And the more she pondered
the more plausible her suspicion be-
came.

Automobiles Climb Fences.

In many parts Of the West and
Southwest where automobiles are nu-
merous it is becoming common to
drive ones car over fence instead Of
stopping to open a gate, drive through,
and then shut it. The new and quick
er method is made possible by the
construction of inclines which make it
an easy matter to mount to the top
of the barrier and then descend on the
other side. The inclines are usually
composed of two tracks, set the prop
er distance apart for automobile wheels
and supported by posts.-Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

Tobacco the Only Luxury
Poor Man Has Ever Known

From government records it is
shown that only IS per cent of the
cigars consumed in this country are
ten-cent cigars or better; and that rs
per cent of American smokers do not
smoke cigars at all, but confine them
selves to the cheaper forms of tobacco
little cigars, pipe tobacco, chewing
tobacco and cigarettes. Verify, those
who regard tobacco as a luxury must
perforce admit that it is the luxury
not only of the rich but of the COM
mon people as well, and indeed, the
only luxury that the poor man has
ever known.-Edgarton Tobacco Re-

FOR EXEMPTIONS

Every one Of ne employees Of che De.

ferred classification in the draft was ask
ed by department officials, was a train
ed technical worker who could not be
replaced, or q man in an Administrative
position In Warrington. according 70 Q
statement BY Assistant Secretary
Clarence Ousley today.
His statement was in part a. fol
lows:
In simple justice to a group Of earnest
and patriotic men. ask your attention
to q few statements Of fact The House
Of Representatives adopted an amend
ment to the food production act of 1918
forbidding the payment Of salaries under
this act to any man who has been placed
in deferred military classification on ac-
count Of his employment by the Depart
ment Much publicity has been given to
this amendment, and 1t has evoked much
newspaper comment The men deferred
have been denounced as slackers. and
the impression is conveyed that 1000
clerks in the Department of Agriculture
at Washington have been sheltered from
military service.
The facts are that only 2o5 men in the
District OF Columbia have been placed
in deferred classification on the recon-
mendation OF the Department, and. OF
these, with the exception OF eight admin
istraive assistants performing response
Bile executive, work, all are scientific or
technical employees engaged in work Of
the most important scientific character.
Much OF this work has to do with such
vital war activities as the development
Of war gases, the testing OF airplane
fabrics. etc. Approximately LOO per-
sons. including county agents. chemists,
veterinarians, meat inspectors, and ex-
perts in the various bureaus OF the de-
partment. have been placed in deferred
classification at the request Of the de-
partment Not one OF these men was de-
ferred on his own request The depart
ment needs a large number Of scientific
men TO replace those who have gone to
war or who have been attracted TO pri-
vate employment For instance. the Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry needs more than
siNty-yeterinariansi in its work OF meat
inspection. without which the health of
the soldiers especially and OF the civil
population generally cannot be safe
