THAT'S poBsoN.

Synopsis. : DR.. John Nicholson,
just beginning his career, becomes
resident physician and companion
OF Homer Sidney at Hartley house.
Mr.. Sidney Is an American, semi
invalid, old and rich and very de-
sirous to live. Mrs. Sidney is a
Spanish woman, dignified and reti-
cent. Jed, the butler, acts like a
privileged member Of the family.
Hartley house is a fine old isolated
country place. with a murder story,
haunted pool" and many watch
dogs, and an atmosphere of mys-
terry. The haunted pool" is where
Richard Dobson, son of a former
owner Of Hartley house, had killed
his brother, Arthur Dobson. Jed
begins operations by locking the
doctor In his room the very first
night. Doctor John fixes his door
so he can't be locked in. He meets
Isobel, daughter of the house and
falls in love at first sight In the
night he finds the butler drunk and
holding Mrs. Sidney by the wrist
He interferes Mrs. Sidney makes
light of II. John buys a revolver.
John overhears Jed telling Mrs.
Sidney he will have his way. In
reply she says she will not hesitate
to kill him. Mrs. Sidney asks John
to consent to the announcement of
his engagement to Isobel. The
young people consent to the make
believe engagement. Later they
find 1t is to head off Jed, who
would marry Isobel. Jed tries to
kill John, but the matter is
smoothed over. John. though "en-
gagged" to Isobel, conceals his love.

IDENTIFY he was not set upon that. He was
not trying to accomplish anything. He
did nothing. He had no unfinished
work. And yet his will to live, knew,
was will to see the fruit of some
thing. He seemed to have a spiritual
incentive; something that had other
than physical impulse contrs2lAd him
and gave him resolution.
i was marveling at his strunSe ac-
tivity when Isobel and Mrs. Sidney
came in. Mr.. Sidney proposed whist,
and we began game. The wind In
creased in violence, and the log fire
grew In comfort. We had a pleasant
game, disturbed for me only by specu-
lations as to the cause of Mr.. Sidney's
strange animation and strength.
Shortly after ten o'clock the ladies
said good night, and Jed came In with
fresh log for the fire. The wind had
been increasing In volume, sound and
power. was thinking Of bed.
"Sit while longer, DOCTOR" Mr.. Sid
ney urged. "Jed and | shall be the
better for some other company. This
Is the sort of night we like to sit up to

the most of such night"
Jed went out and presently came In
again with two bottles Of wine.

II thought the evening suggested a

There is body and live soul In

But certainly" I suggested 10

Indeed not" said Mr.. Sidney. "Jed
drinks II for me, and | watch him. You
must have a glass with hlm-just one.
He'll have dozen--I don't ask you to
follow him-but just one"
Jed opened bottle, and when he
offered me a glass yielded. l wanted

comforts against that shrill wind out

with precious metals and stones. for

gusto and affection opened another
bottle of wine. The wind grew In yio-
lence.

FARM
ANIMALS
SIMPLE FORM OF ORGANIZING
No Capital lie Required, Farmers Of
Community Meeting and Sc
Iectlno Officers.

The simple form Of organization
that suficeS for cooperative livestock
shipping associations is one of their
leading features. In the first place,
practically no capital is required,
since payment is not made TO men,
bers for stock shipped until the re-
turns are received from the market.
To organize, 1t Is necessary only that
the farmers of community meet to-
gether, adopt simple constitution
and bylaws. and elect officers and a
board of directors, who in turn appoint
manager.
Although In order to transact bust
ness II is not necessary for an associa.
ton of this nature to incorporate un-
der the state laws, II is advisable to
do so as a protection to the members.
II not Incorporated, the organization,
as such, can not sue or be sued, and
in case of the loss Of stock from rail-
road wrecks or other cause the man
ager could not enforce claims for the
association. but each shipper would be
compelled to present claims for his
own losses. The cost Of incorporating
is comparatively small-usually not
more than $40.
The United States department OF
agriculture will furnish, on request,
the essentials Of model constitution
and bylaws.
