He barred the left arm. "You See
Can there be a more positive proof of
identity than such mark as that on
my arm?'
The vague dread that clouded her
dilated eyes swiftly increased to a
paralyzing terror. She stared at him
as white-faced and immobile as mar
BILE statue. Stricken with concern for
her, he bent forward Instantly her
cheeks flushed scarlet with maidenly
shame. She clutched wildly at her
loose hair and fled to the door. In a
twinkling she was out in the hall, with
the door shut between herself and
Clinton.

of almost violent emotions. Across
his face, in quick succession, passed
looks of bewilderment, pity, delight,
tenderness. Last of all came c0ntri-
ton, and again pity, both of which
merged into resolution.
From the closet he brought out his
suitcase and the suit that he had worn
on his arrival in town. Next came
rummage through the dresser and
closet to restore to the suitcase the
articles that had been taken from it.
Some he could not find.
He dressed himself in the suit so
neatly tailored by old Tillie, and
glanced around the room, preparatory
to closing the suitcase. The hairbrush,
lying on the floor where he had
dropped it, caught his eye. He picked
it up and gazed at it several moments.
He then went to the mantel, where
stood the framed photographs of Ellen
and Amy.
When he returned to his suitcase
one of the frames was empty.

CHAPTER VIII.

Soon after Clinton's flight Doctor
Kirkland had been summoned to the
sanitarium When Amy came in by
way Of the dining room Ellen was
pensiycly watching her mother play

"Wait a moment. I'll be out at once"
He dived into the closet to seize
the I0unging robe, which he slipped on
as he hurried to the door. He slid
back the bolt. Instantly the door was
thrust in against him. Amy popped
through the opening. She closed the
door and spoke to him in a tone as
matter of fact as it was affectiOnate:

proved, and she went to set two chairs
before the full-length mirror on the
wall opposite the bathroom passage.
"Come. / don't want to have to shout

have"
He started to obey, and blushed as
his stockinged feet appeared from I'M
der the edge of his robe. But she had
perched on one of the chairs and was
studying herself in the mirror.
He seated himself in the chair close
beside her. She handed him the hair
brush and put up both hands to her
head. The loose sleeves of her kimo-
no slipped down, barring her dimpled
white arms. He stared. fascinated. at

ORIGINATED in DAINTY VERSE
Expression That Is Considered SIiqht-
ly Vulgar Today Traced to
Poet Cowper.

Some of the crudest expressions in
the English tongue had their origin
in poetry. and even religious COM
mands. Among these the phrase, ITO
go the whole hog" is a striking ex-
ample. Today it is looked upon as
a vulgarism. Yet the words were OBJ
tanned directly from poem by Cow
per, whose title is the pretty term,
Love of the World Reproved." The
poem is the versifying of an Arabian
story that seems well founded in fact.
Mohammed in giving forth his laws
declared that a certain part of the pig
should not be eaten, but he forgot to
mention just what part it was that
he thought unclean. His followers, to
make sure of not violating his COM
mands, debarred the whole pig. AS
there were many, however, who were
dearly fond of pork, they met and
agreed that one would eat the steaks,
one the chops, one the feet. and so on,
until the whole pig had been eaten,
and thus but one of the feasters could
be made to suffer for the sin. AS Cow
per says: "They thought it hard from
the whole pig to be debarred." and
adds: with sophistry. their sauce
they sweeten, till quite from tail to
snout, It's eaten"

THIS GRAIN TRULY GOLDEN"
How Discovery of Prolific Gold Field
Was Made in Mysore, State
of India.

One of the worlds most prolific gold
fields at the present time is in the
Kolar district (Mysore state) of India
Discovery of it was made in a curious
way.
In prosperous years, when the gods
favored the valley with an ample har-
vest of rice, grains of gold were found
now and then on rice ears. This great
ly mystified the natives. who ascribed
the gold TO supernatural powers.
What probably happened was that
these grains, derived from the gravSly
soil, lodged on the young rice plants
when they were being grown in nur-
series (for subsequent transportation
to the fields) and flooded at intervals
with water.
The strange occurrence. at first
deemed supernatural, led to the discov-
cry that the gravels of the valley were
rich in gold, brought down from the
mountains. Since then the Kolar dis
trict has contributed largely to the
worlds supply of the yellow metal.

There Is no magic formula for sim

methods can only come from careful
study Of the routes followed by each
END or class of commodity In Its long,
long 'rail' from producer TO consumer.
This fact is recognized by every stu

and likewise has been taken into &C.
count in the studies OF marketing prob
lens carried on by the bureau of mar
kets, United States Department of Ag-
ricuIture. One Of these specific prob
lens which the departments special
lists have studied and regarding which
they offer definite recommendation
that involve real saving to consumer
and producer. has to do with the mar
ketlng of hides, a by-product from
which almost every farmer can derive

the saving which this simpler method
makes possible. At the same time a
lowering of prices for the final prod
uct Will be the tendency. since dIstri-
button costs Will be less. The use of
local dealer as intermediary be-
tween the producer and the large hide
dealer in some cases is advisable. since

Either of these simpler methods sug-

Obstacles to Overcome.
such consignment marketing. how
ever. presupposes mutual confidence
and fair dealing by both producer and
dealer and. unfortunately, this does
not always exist. Another obstacle to
the establishment of this method is the
producers preference for ready cash
Many producers prefer to accept any
price obtainable from local buyers,
such as general stores. produce deal
ers, junk collectors and travelling hide
buyers rather than consign their prod
ucts to distant car-lot dealers in CEN
tral markets. The place that travelling
buyers or agents occupy in an I'm
proved system Of distribution is a mat
ter on which one can be less specific,
since opinions of the trade differ as to
the practicability of travelling hide
buyers or agents or large hide dealers.
Already country producers of hides
are coming to see the saving that re-
suits from the simpler system briefly
indicated here and are making con-
tracts with large dealers in whom they
have confidence and who In turn see
that 1t is the part Of good business to
respect and foster this confidence.

FEEDING STOCK IN TRANSIT
Shippers Who PatroniIe Roads With.
out Proper Facilities Must Make
Own Arrangements.

When the distance is such that a
live stock shipment to destination can
not be made within the time provided
under the federal 2S-hour law, animals
must be unloaded. fed and watered.
The railroads which have the heaviest
long-distance shipments provide feed
in-transit stations for this purpose at
intervals along their lines. Railroads
which do small live stock business
often are without feed-in-transit sta
lions, and the shipper patronizing these
lines must make his own arrangements
for feeding and watering.
