 He watched Jimmy Skunk He stole along behind him wherever he went, watching and waiting Now. Jimmy Skunk had not been near Farmer Browns hen house for a long time-not since Unc Billy Pos- sum was held prisoner there-and Jimmy was getting dreadfully hum gry for fresh eggs. So one dark night he started for Farmer Brown S hen house. Now Jimmy knew all about the traps that Farmer Browns s boy had set, so he was very careful. But Farmer Browns boy had be- come discouraged and had taken up the traps. When Jimmy found this out he smiled to himself in the dark and boldly walked right into the hen house.
 This was the chance Reddy Fox had been waiting for While Jimmy was busy with the eggs Reddy stole in behind him and suddenly sprang up at the hens sitting high on the perches with their heads tucked un-

BOB EXPLAINS Jane's Book-Chapter 35

SArC "
 Under the porte-cochere of my home, stood it's master!
 Robert Atwood Lorimer had just stepped from a car that was pulling away from the steps,
 His face was bandaged. his coat was torn, he was hatless. But he was alive. erect, white. splendid. He limped slightly when he came toward the taxi. Then he helped me from the car and clasped me in his arms.
 Morrison wiped his eyes. The doc tor who had brought Bob home or dered h i'm to go into the house and to bed, then congratulated me on my husbands escape and drove away.
 Morrison would not go into the house, but he listened to Bob's hur- ried account of his condition. Bob had been stunned and bruised. When dug from beneath a desk he had asked to be taken home at once. He had not seen me in the morning-he wanted to assure me that he was not seriously injured. He needed an other suit of clothes and then he would go back to the wreck of the plant to do his share.
 Wait five minutes, Morrison, Hold the taxi for us," he concluded.
 NO, you don't go back with me, BOD, SdlQ lne OiueT HldH Ioul duty begins right with this little girl He opened the hall door and pushed us gently into our bungalow. Tn a mad world, can't you two fortunate young people have a little sense?'
 Well, can't we, dear? It's timel'' Bob drew me to the huge chair.
 'T don't know I spoke as slipped from his knee. I was af- fronted by the vision of a tawny- haired sirl-with her head on his breast! I knelt by my muhsband' s side. Morrison told me to believe you. What am I to believer" run my fingers through Bob's hair, then dropped my hand.
 Believe the obvious thing, my dear. Something you should have guessed"
 "We11?"
 "Katherine was hunting for the jewels in the cellar. She couldn't go there alone. I went with her. Yes. many times,'
 I sighed. Bob's explanation did not relieve my mind.
 Katherine had the secret from Don Pedro, when she was in Mexico. He had it from Certeis- She knew that the royal loot came over in the C-boat and was buried somewhere in Certeis cellar She had the secret of the al ley door and nothing more She wouldn't let me tell the government officials for fear she might be ridf- culed, if the clew were false Yes, dear. we went there many afternoons, Yes. we discovered the machine guns We were going to give that little mat ter away soon And that's all there is to the affair, Jane. It was her secret. She would not let me tell you. But I we learned. Never will have another secret from my little wife"
 Bob, I want you to promise me something. That is, if you can keeT the promise"
 'T canl I will!'
 Promise me not to see Katherine Miller any more about anything"

walked the biddies up. But he did know that with such a racket going on this was no place for him and he hurried-actually hurried-out the way he had come in.
 He was hardly out of sight when Farmer Browns boy, half dressed. appeared at the hen house door with lantern and hs dreadful gun. The first thing he saw was the shell of an egg Jimmy Skunk had been eat ing when Reddy Fox frightened the hens. He knew right away who had been there, and of course he thought that Jimmy had frightened the hens.
 "We1l have a hunt for that skunk tomorrow.' declared Farmer Browns S boy as he went back to bed
 No sooner was all quiet than Reddy Fox stole back and crept into the henhouse. A foolish young chick en was roasting low and in a flash Reddy had it without waking the others. Hurrying to the Green For est he hid himself where he could watch the house of Jimmy the Skunk. Just about daylight he saw Jimmy come home. Reddy waited a little, then he sneaked over and laid the chicken on Jimmy Sl1unk's door step.

ENTRA-PARTY QUARRELS

aHlRA-PARlY QUARkELS
Colonel. Anderson and his
machine at Richmond are
digging into the grass,
grown graveyards Of long
past Democratic campaigns
and unearthing the skele-
tons that lie buried there.
They are quoting from Car
ter GLASS; speeches of ten
years agone, as to an alleged
Democratic machine then
existent. But any extended
use Of the intra-party fights
O. a dead and buried past is
the surest sign Of paucity
of argument in the living
present. We might refer,
for instance, to the editorials
in the Marion Star, in 1912.
in which Editor Harding did
his level best to prove Thee
dore Roosevelt a quack and
a charlatan. We might
quote Roosevelt likewise IL
his bitter denunciations OF
the shameless bosses of the
Republican Party. In ou@
own state we might quote
what David F. Bailey said OF
Congressman Slemp, when
he tried twice to defeat him
in the Ninth District for
the Republican nomination
for Congress: "Under
Slemp's management there
is no Republican party out.
side the Ninth District. ;.
The ofice-holders all over
the state are assessed and
their salaries divided, not to
raise money to build up the
party in the state, but to cor
rupt the electorate in this
district, to the end that the
Slemp Summers combine
shall have the offices to sell
to such parties as will carry
out their selfish will"
This, by the way, reminds
us of President Harding's
speech at Birmingham on
yesterday. He advocates
the placing of the colored
vote on a parity with the
the white vote. The ques-I
ton arises as to which is the
real Republican candidate
for gubernatorial honors in
Wirginia-Colonel Anderson
or his colored opponent from
Richmond? Both claim to be
the Republican nominees;
which, under President
I .rding's ruling, would be
tie one and only representa-
i've of the simon-pure brand
Of RepublicaniSm?
We would fain remind
our Republican friends that
a house divided against it.
self cannot stand, and sug.
gest that before soliciting
Democratic votes they set

differences among them

Prevailing livestock prices are close
to the low of the year. When the best

Meeting is Postponed.
The meeting of the Midwest Farm
Bureau presidents and secretaries, set
for March 1880 at indianapolis. was
postponed to April 4-5. This will per
nit those who attend to go direct from
Indianapolis to Chicago, to be present
at the ratification of the work cut out
by the Committee of Seventeen, on
April G. This will permit the farm
member tourists to take in both meet
ings while on the same trip away from
