DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND
BY JANE BUNKER.

Our new serial is an unusual mys-
terry story that defies picking to pieces;
it has a time-lock on it which can't be
opened by simply dipping into the
story here and there and waiting for
the last chapter. The combination
goes from chapter one to fms, and
you're kept on tiptoe with excitement
all the way; that Is, when you're not
doubled up by the fun of it all.
Below are What some of the leading
reviewers have said of it:
Diamond Cut Diamond" is q verit-
able Arabian Nights entertainment in
a modern setting with an abundance Of
humor and a delightful little love story
on the side.-WashingtOn Evening Star.
Not the least original feature of the
plot is the introduction Of a reporter
who is not wiser than Sherlock Holmes
and stronger than sandow.-The Ma
ton, New York City.
The story is well constructed and
moves rapidly along from n exciting
adventure to another. The author has
a fresh, unconventional style, and the
story, Diamond Cut Diamond" con-
tains no little of the spice of humor.-
The Syracuse Herald.
From beginning to end the story
holds the readers interest closely and
cOmpels reading. The style itself, light
and occasionally fippant, is of the
%galloping style that hurries the reader
along from chapter to chapter and
makes him reluctant to lay the story
aside.-The Boston Times.
Those who enjoy good detective and
unusual stories will be deeply inter
ested in Diamond Cut Diamond
The Newark Evening Star.
Diamond Cut Diamond" is a genu-
inely humorous detective story, con-
tanning all the elements of mystery,
danger, cunning, and startling adven-
lures that make one want to stay right
ION. the job" to see how it will really
turn out.-Philadelphia Despatch.
diamond Cut Diamond is the sort
Of a story that you can't wait to turn
the pages. Something exciting is sure
to happen on the next page.-ChicagO
Tribune.
There is an immense amount OF mys-
terry and no sooner is one tangled sit
uatiOn cleared up than another one
equally or even more mysterious con-
fronts the readers of diamond Cut
Observation-Disclosures Daily News.
! 1t Is easy to understand that q
woman novelist wrote this novel be,
cause the latter is so elusive, interest

is well chosen and the plot SO gallop-

it was ~worth-and / thought rather

on my breakfastlng with them.

sive, %obsequiOus place and he seemed
to be at home there.
ut was when 1 was biting into my

| plop-no less than that I was to take
| Claire on the steamer with me and let
her share my stateroOm!
Oh. it was more than a favor he was
asking-madame and himself and
| Claire would be forever in my debt.
| He himself had expected to sail in two
days and join madame in New York,
but he was RECALLED to court (what
court he didn't trouble to tell mel, and
he could neither take Claire with him

anne de Ravenol would be awaiting
her child in New York, hence If l

my so estimable care until / delivered
her on the other side monsieur would
retain for me an everlasting gratitude.
Claire started and exclaimed,
Papa :" when she heard he was not
sailing, and was meaning 10 send her
on alone, but he gave her a hard look
and a sharp sentence in what sounded
German, but I've since learned was a
dialect I couldn't be supposed to I'M
derstand. All I got of it was a stern,
"Du must" which silenced the girl
completely.
1t was \that-the callous rudeness
toward me. though at the moment he
was in the very act of asking a great
favor-that nailed my resolution to
have nothing whatever to do with him
or his affairs. I replied, the moment
l got the chance, ut is quite impOs-
sible, monsieur. / never share a state
room with anyone"
"Ah, madame child-a little child
alone, alOne,"-he looked at me re-
prOachfully. what shall she make
alone on hat long voyage? And COM

York; hear Eat zey are terrible-zat

DENUDED COAL LANDS
OF EASTERN KENTUCKY
WILL BE REFORESTED

Frankfort Ky.--Reforestration OF
much of the denuded coal lands OF
Eastern Kentucky probably will be
brought about in the next few years
through exigencies of the mining in
dustry.
j. f. Barton, Commissioners OF For
estry and Geology, who has been urg-
ing the undertaking, announced that
mining corporations of Harlan. Laurel
and Letcher counties have enlisted in
the enterprise.
In Harlan, yellow poplar will be
planted. and other species will be used
in the other counties.
Several acres OF timber are required
for one acre of coal operations, and
development of the mining industry
has added to the havoc wrought by
old time wasteful methods of logging
and forest fires before State and Fed
eral departments began fire prevention
campaigns
The result is mine owners have been
brought by the department to realize
that in the near future there will be a
dearth OF mining timber.
The State forester will advise with
the companies and supervise the work
where necessary

AUTUMN

or the changeful seasons that come
and go.
From opening violets to falling snow
There is not one among them all
That l., dearer than the fall.
When slanting sunbeams thru south
ward doors and windows peep,
When longer the northward shadows
creep.
It's then the fast receding sun
Tells us another summers done.
But still his milder growing rays
Brighte nthe shortening Autumn days,
| While daily farther his orbit lies
Circlipg through the southern ilxies.
BY the hazy glow are the woodlands
charms enhanced.
Oft on their beauty gaze entranced,
When Autumn her gorgeous tapestry
weaves
To deck the host of forest trees.
Fen though he kills the beautiful
flowers.
Jack Frost is good old friend of ours;
His GOODNESS and crispness gives to the
fall a cheer
Scarcely felt at other times Of year.
F'locks and fowls grow plump in the
autumn weather.
Likewise flourish our forest friends in
fur and feather.
But our summer birds have taken their
flight
To CLINE more warm and bright.
Sometimes we glimpse against the sky
The wild geese as they southwark fly,
Needing naught that lies below,
They soar to their haunts beyond the
snow.
How russell grow the harvest fields.
Where the earth her goodly fullness
yields.
For from out the lowly sod
Come choice gifts for which to thank
our God.
The farmer gathers in his grain,
Rejoicing his labor is not in vain:
And gla dthat he was born
In the land of Indian corn.
Where from want and famine we have
naught TO fear.
When God in His goodness crownest
the year,
us shall roll.
And when earthly seasons no more for
May we garner in the Great Beyond the
harvest Of the soul.
