Well. we'll. it's no good fencing,

twenty-nine years.ago. My father, a
simple and somewhat u~nambitious
man, had made a little fortune end
seemed very we'll content with his
modest pleasures.
Our family. Mr.. Baxenter, had
been settled in Canada since the early
part OF 1901, when a certain Armand
de Darttgny, after a vain fight to re.
cover the estates and position lost to
the family during the Revolution,
shook the dust Of his country from
his feet and. together with a SINAI
party Of ruined mobiles. set out to
max a new home over seas. and
swearing never to set foot again in

hearsed his tale until there was M

acted strongly upon the. already dis
turbed nerve-centers of the visitor.
But he mastered himself with an ef-
fort and looked around him. It was
.dificult to keep CAIN, now that the
scheme upon which he had worked
80 hard had come to fruition and was
about to receive the reward.

tiste noticed that the, m painted
in white block letters on their sides
had among them Some. OF the oldest
and proudest in theskingdom Alone
one side of. the cham 6ersa. bench had
been erected at writing height, and
a pad of blotting-paper, together with
quill pens an inkweH and q round
box Of waters. werc placed at one
end. At the other a stack OF heavy
ache nearly to the roof.
The solicitor had bent down in the
far corner and was dragging from
Its obscurity beneath the bottom ledge
a small wooden chest. It was a plain
affair, bound strongly with iron cor
ner-clamps. and on the lid a, rough de.
Wce of the de DartiSny arms had, been
branded with q hot iron. Dartin
pointed this out. and at the same time
held out his hand and. showed a sig
net ring bearing the same device on
his finger-a stone that Vivian Rem
ton had had engraved in Paris and
set in a circlet Of dull gold Of ANTIQUE
workmanship. Had Robert Baxenter
felt any doubt Of his visitors good
faith it would have needed but this
to dispea them.
A few forTnalities over. and the
bold signature of Baptiste partin
was put to the receipt which the So
ncitor then and there prepared-a
document setting forth briefly the
history of the trust and the manner
OF its claiming. The signet ring was
pressed into red wax at its foot and
the men assembled to the offices above.
To Roberts disappointment the
new owner of the chest did not s,ig-
gest opening 1t at once. Instead.

to put 1t carefully into a cab, and,
with an arrangement to dine with the
solicitor the next night to hear. the

on to take his place In the ranks. of
the ancient nobility Of France.
Left to himself Robert Baxenter
placed the documents Of the case to-
gether in an envelope, endorsed ii.
and gave 1t into sCantle's Keeping.
With a. smile he crossed the room
and made an elaborate bow to the
picture OF Adam Baxenter. Then his
eyes rested upon the girls photograph

Lieutenant WaIn denied local re-
ports that he had heroically plunged
the ZR-2 into the river, rather than
on the shore, which was crowded
by thousands Of spectators. The dis
aston occurred so quickly, he said,
that any such action was impossible.
Disaster Could Have Been Avoided;
New York, August 25.-The ZR- 2
disaster could have been avoided by
the use of helium a nom inflammable
gas, declarer Henry Woodhouse, pres
ident of the Aerial League of Ameri.
ca. The United States government,
he says has spent more than $780,
100000 in the production Of helium
gas. MI ;.
"Of course, helium gas Is not alb
solutely essential to the success of
dirigibles," Mr.. Woodhouse stated
yesterday. Gall that has been done
with dirigibles has been done with
out helium. But the fact remains
that whatever the cause Of the trag-
edy may be, 1t could not have hap
Ipened If the dirigible had been in
fiated with helium. Even If the diri-
gible> had buckled, as it is reported
as having done, the airship could
have landed without loss of life IL the
hydrogen had not ignited."
Cause Of Disaster.
Howden, England, August 25.-The
cause Of the disaster to the ZR-2
tainable here, the base of the de-
stroyed dirigible, was the breaking
of longitudinal, girder amidships
made Of an aluminium alloy. cutting
the airship in halves.
An explosion of either hydrogen or
petrol occurred Immediately after the
girder gave way, and flames burst

London Profoundly Stirred.
London, August 25.-England was
profoundly stirred up by the destruc-

The management of the Hubbard
Milling company OF, this city has en-
gagged the services Of the Harris Air
Pumping Company of Chicago to try
to increase the flow In one of the
company's wells which has fallen Off
from 500 gallons to 800 gallons. per
minute.
The well, which is fourteen hundred
feet In depth. yielded flow Of 900
gallons per minute for number Of
years after it was sunk but has gradu-
ally lessoned its flow until 1t is now
down to 800 gallons per minute. much
less than Is required by the mills for
its many uses for water. Compressed
air is being forced down into the well
and then 1t is pumped out. A black sub
stance resembling shoe polish Is be-
ing pumped out now. In few days 1t
can be determined IL the experiment
will approve success In bringing a

Local Experts Warn Against Half

Local Experts Warn Against Hall
and Half Variety
A note of warning to the cotton
farmers of the Memphis territory has
been sounded by DR., +. r, Lloyd and
c.. W. Watson, experts of the farm
development bureau Of the Chamber
of Commerce, relative to the planting
of half and half and other outlawed
varieties of cotton in 1922. The Off
cials say that they are in daily com
munication with farmers who have
cotton to sell to Memphis buyers, but
almost invariably the staple offered
has been outlawed by the government
and is not wanted by local dealers.
In a statement yesterday the two
experts issued the following appeal
to the cotton farmers Of this terri
tory:
Half and half and other short va
rieties now being offered are not
wanted by the buyer IF the farmer
ever expects to market his cotton at
satisfactory prices, he mus. plant
variety The trade wants.
If the farm bureaus wou. call the
cotton growers of their counties to-
gether and decide upon one or two
good varieties to plant M 1922 it
would be one of the greatest steps
