The book contains more than 100 PAGES
of interesting, valuable matter, and takes
hold Of this important topic under three
main heads Industries. Woods and Coun-
ties. The report demonstrates very plainly
that the original timber is gone from the
forests of Maryland. and that improved
handling and heavy planting. better meth

with the passing of each year. Maryland.
with nearly 800 distinctly wood-using in
dustries. her 1000 employees of these
manufactures, and finished products az
gregating millions Of dollars, cannot afford
to fail Of encouragement by every practical
means this source Of constant profit and
daily livelihood to much larger elements
OF the State than even appear from these
figures. OF several hundred Maryland firms
approached in this investigation there
were only two which were unwilling to
cooperate. and genuine interest in the
practical features Of this work has been
apparent throughout the State. II is an
other evidence Of the up-to-date and prac-
teal policies which characterize the ac-
tivties OF the Maryland Board.
The report is profusely and handsomely
illustrated, and there are some 80 tables
Of condensed information which cannot
fail to be Of real value to all who have an
interest in the forest and dependent indus
tries. incidentally, the appendix contains
directory Of manufactures Of Maryland.
and there are numerous other features
which commend the book to the man in

HISTORY SHOWN BY FENCES

The progress and condition of our
settlements can be traced In our

Home Life In Colonial Days." AS
Indians disappeared or succumbed. the
solid row Of pales (stockade) gave
place to a log fence, which served well
to keep out depredatory animals. Inc
dangers from Indians or wild animals
entirely disappeared, boards were still
not over-plenty, and the strength or

unnecessary fencing. Then came the

"First time she was wei here, so

promptly took up his weaving once

entire company at Green Fancy was

quite clear to him that she had beer

would not have been lured to Green
Fancy under the impression that she
was to find herself among friends and
supporters. Supporters! That word
started a new train of thought. He
could hardly wait for the story that
was to fall from her lips.

women, subsisting under the covert of
thy patience, be patient still. Suffer
us yet a while longer, with our broken
purposes of good, 9Th our idle en-

Mr.. .Sprouse Abandons Literature at
an Early Hour in the Morning.
After thrashing about in his bed for
seven sleepless hours, Barnes arose
and gloomily breakfasted alone. He
was not discouraged over his failure
to arrive at anything tangible in the
shape of a plan of action. 1t was in
conceivable that he should not be able
in very short order to bring about the
release of the fair guest of Green
Fancy. There was not the slightest
doubt in his mind that international
affairs of considerable Importance
were involved and that the agents OPP
Grating at Green Fancy were under
definite orders.
Mr.. Sprouse came into the dining
room as he was taking his last swal-
low Of coffee.
"Ah, good morning" was the bland
little mans greeting. up with the
lark, / see. Mind if / sit down here
and have my eggs?" He pulled out a
chair opposite Barnes and coolly sat
down at the table.
"You can't sell me a sci of Dickens
at this hour of the day." said Barnes
sourly. Besides, I've finished my
breakfast. Keep your seat" He start.
ed to rise.
"Sit down." said Sprouse quietly.
Something in the mans voice and man
ner struck Barnes as oddly compelling.
He hesitated a second and then re-
sumed his seat. eTye been investi-
eating you, Mr.. Barnes" said the little
man, unsmilingly. "Don't get sore.
There are a lot of things that you don't
know, and one Of them is that / don't
sell books for a living. It's something
of a side line with me-" He leaned
forward. IT shall be quite frank with
you, sir. / am a secret service man.
Yesterday / went through your effects
upstairs, and last night I took the lib,
erty of spying upon you, so to speak,
while you were a guest at Green
Fancy"

clared that contrary to reports that
had been circulated. the French gov
eminent never dreamed of the reviyi-

that French diplomacy had not lent it,

would have a right to feel offended.
