 He turned the photographs around and read on the back of them the words;

 Maybe, when we get to the police station. 'appy memories'll cd4-s back to yuo.'
 The policemans manner held hint of truculence.
 But Jim was toe exhausted and worn cut to put up any show of battle He fell into step beside the burly guardian cf the law. staggering little as he walked.

 'Pinched all your money, did they, sir?"
 Jim ran inquiring fingers through his pockets. They were empty
 ~'Ow did you come to these ere parts quarter" went on the bobby curl ously.
 This was query that Jim could not answer.
 T don't remember" he said help iessly.
 "A rum go," said the scion of the low again. He put firm hand under Jim's elbow-but it was not apparent whether the action sprang from a de- sire to support the young mans fal- tering steps or whether he feared that Jim might possibly escape.
 They reached the local police head quarters.
 Ever see this 'appy little ome be- fore?' remarked Jims escort pleas sntly, watching the young mans face for any sign of recognition.
 But Jim's face held blank express sion.
 A ray of light streamed out as though to welcome them. Side by side they en- tered stone-paved hall and turned to the right into large, well-lit office, where couple of sergeants in easy fire.
 The latter looked up at their en- trance.

 At this psychological moment Jim himself created a diversion by sinking down into the nearest chair and quiet ly swooning away.

He had never told it." Poor GUS" said Andrew sympathetical- ly. "I suppose she left him as soon as she was entitled to be his wife"
 That has nothing to do with it.'' said Imogene. "He had deceived her. He should have told her before he married her."

HOW is THIS FOR
PRICE OF BEER

It was not long ago that Germany
was considered a place where few
from the United States would want
to spent only a few minutes, but now
las an oasis-it has Cuba and Can
ada backed off the board Last week
an American dollar would buy 200
glasses Of beer-regular German beer
with a kick that would make you
think Of the days before the war.
Forty cents would have bought a
quart Of champage. which few days
previous was selling for $25 in New
Orleans, while a bottle Of wine which
sold in New Orleans a few days ago
at $1s q shot, could be purchased in
Berlin for 15 cents.
You could have regular meal at
8 first-cIass restaurant for 25 cents,
the best seat in any theater for 80
cents, and a fine suit Of business
clothes for about $40. At this time
tha mark was at it lowest value in
the history Of Germany. as an Amer
lean dollar was worth 100 marks.

as Well as Farmer, or Liv-

Down.

Syracuse, N. Y, Feb. 2.-sheran
J. Lowell, master Of the National
GRANGE, in a statement published here
today, declared it was the belief Of
the farmers Of the country that the
only way to reduce the cost Of Iiv-
ing was for everyone to be willing to
do "a reasonable days work" and
that the 44-hour week would never
support even America. Mr.. Lowell's
statement, in part, follows:
"The farmers belief concerning
the way to reduce the cost Of living
is for everyone to be willing again
to do reasonable days work. The
44-hour week viii never support
America, to say nothing Of feeding
hungry world.
Cannot Hope for Price Cut

agricultural conditions in America
cannot offer the slightest hope for
lower food prices. SO far as the farm
