Somehow. deep in the Rambler's in
telligence. or his intuition or his
instinct--and these phases of the mind
blend across twilight zones--is the
belief that those who fondly and ten
derby loved us and watched over us
in this world are not going to take on
new fancies and forget US when that
Supreme Authority which holds the
stars in their; paths and puts color in
the flowers and lays down laws which
every rock. and insect every. snow
fake, every weed and every man. must
obey, calls them to another sphere.
The old Rambler, sitting on pine
stump or q fallen log by the roadside
or far in the shadows Of the woods,
and smoking his ripe briar. likes to
believe that that which we call CON
science" and which is the influence
that makes US avoid much that Is
evil and do much that is good, is but
the voices of those that loved us and
are gone, whispering into our spirit
ual ear that true happiness here and
immortal life may be won by doing
unto others, as we would be done by.
But this Is a little bit or the main
line of thought which is leading the
Rambler through this narrative.
The years des't so with the old
house that it looked seedy, shabby
and weedy. The grandchildren of the
builders moved to other parts OF the
state and their children became scat
tered over the United States. The
nrbperty passed into strangers hands
and they had no especial fondness for
the place. 1t meant nothing to them
in the matter of memory or fancy.
Al that interested them was how
much the land could be made to pro-
duce.
In the lapse of years good many
strange families came and went, and

ago obliterated the gravel walks be-
tween the box hedges. Locust, paper
mulberry and silver poplar trees sent
up thousands Of shoots from their
roots and the garden became such a
tangle that a rabbit could scarcely
get through 1t. The porches were
fallen or almost ready to sink down
from exhaustion and decay. The doors
were broken and some Of the shutters,
once so sreen and bright, had disap-
peared. Some hung aslant. held by a
single rusty hinge. The place seemed
utterly friendless. 1t seemed that the
spirits Of the silver-haired young man
and his gay gray bride that had
lowered around the place until all
that they held there in affectionate
remembrance had disappeared, took
their flight perhaps to wander over
elysian fields or through the skies

ABSENCE OF WITNESS
 DELAYS FORD SUIT
sy Associated Press

By Associated Press
 Nit Clemons. Mich, July 25.-Absence from court today of a material wit ness who in previous testimony chal- lenged an essential point in the 1e- fense of the Chicago Daily Tribune in Henry Ford's million dollar libel suit, upset the plans of Tribune attorneys to close their side of the case. which has been on trial since the middle of May.
 The alleged libelous editorial headed Ford Is An Anarchist" was based on a news item sent the news paper by it's Detroit correspondent. P. W. Williams. who testified that Frank !. KlinEensmith, vice president of the Ford Motor company. was authority for his statement that the company would not hold open positions of it's employees who went with the national guard to the Mexican border in 19is, nor care for their dependents. James A. Connors. who appeared as volun- tarv witness earlier in the trial, tes tified that MT. Klingensnhth had in- formed him the company would care for dependents of It's soldier employees and hold their jobs. The Tribune coun- sel introduced evidence intended to discredit Connors' testimony and also subpcenaed him. but he failed 10 ap- pear today when called as the de- fense's last witness.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, July 25.-Cables this morning were better than due reflect ing the settlement of the English coal strike, which of course, is an import ant factor, as the continuation of the strike was brewing a most serious matter for all British industries. The national ginners condition report Is understood to be 69.0s but the figures attracted little attention, having been discounted in the decline of yesterday. The market was steady until the af- ternoon. and some heavy selling orders appeared supposed to represent liqui- dalton of long cotton under which prices declined to 35 cents for October.
 There was sufficient demand from the domestic trade at this level to hold the market fairly steady at the close. Exchange was weak again today, and it wassreported that any supply of com mercial bills found but a poor market. This weakness in exchange had much to do with the unsettlement in our market during the day. The weather remains the same, favorable in the western belt and favorable in thu cen tral states, but most unfavorable in the boil weevil sections of the Atlantic. -Hubb ard Bros. and Co.
