Mary Drew was naturally courage one Rut the shock of the encounter with this drunken foreigner on the lotelv country road drove all her eour- age from her.
 She ran with speed. those sinister footsteps following.
 oh. if the reassuring lights of the Barley Now would only loom in sight!
 She could hear painting breath be- hind her as she ran. The footsteps seemed to gain, too-ominously!
 Marv's heart was beating loud tat too. A queer, choking sensation was in her throat. Her knees were trem- bling threatening every moment to give way beneath her.
 Was her pursuer mad? or-had he deliberately planned this wild pursuit. Oh was it possible that he had been told she was carrying important docu- ments. and he had been paid to rob her?
 On. on, she ran with flying feet
 Occasionally she stumbled Iheh, with a desperate effort, would pull herself together and race wildly on.
 Another crossroads. She couldn't wait to choose her route. Round to the left, and on again.
 Suddenly, in the distance, Mary saw a. gleam of light.
 She fixed her eyes upon that gleam. It seemed to the frightened girl yer ital signpost of heaven!
 On, on again. The running foot steps that were tracking her seemed to be slackening just a shade.
 A fervent prayer rose in Mary's heart that she might reach the radius of light before her pursuer overlook her.
 She gripped her precious package tighter to her, Dicks papers-Car- rington Bellairs had said they were highly important-shed die sooner than part with anything that was val ble in Dicks life.
 The lights were nearer, brighter now. Mary's heart was humping painfully in her chest. Her breath came in half-sobs.
 She rounded the last corner, and there before her loomed up a com fortable, low building, rays from a swinging lantern over the entrance illuminating the dark country road. Thank heaven, it was the Barley Now at last!
 A tall, young man was standing on the doorstep of the inn smoking a pipe.
 Mary staggered up to him.
 Why, Mary'-Dick Calardin caught her in his arms-"Mary, of all peo- ple-"
 She fell a little forward, with her head against his shoulder.
 Mary. what's happened? Dearestr'
 The young girl made a tremendous effort to pull herself together. Her head was going round and round-her senses swooning. She mustn't faint, whatever happened
 Your papers-here they are! A drunken creature-black face-running

FARMERS IN STATE
 ADOPT TRUCKING
 IN MANY SECTIONS
Associations Being Formed. Planting WatermeIons To- matoeS, Sweet Potatoes
 Being Specialized In

Auburn, May 11.-(Special )-Farmers in different sections of Alabama are making an attempt to get into trucking this year, as shown by the reports from county agents reaching Auburn each week
 A recent report from w. T. Coker of Talladea county states that a Chiders- burg Truck and Fruit Growers associa- tion has been organized with 1S2 charter members, who will plant not less than 1l2 acres in watermelons and 135 acres in sweet potatoes. A similar association has been proposed for Lincoln, but as yet it has not been definitely organized
 Evidently watermelons will be an inn portant crop around Goodwater, in Coosa county, this year, where County Agent $. M. Day says fully 1000 acres will be planted to watermelons and if condi- tions are favorable 300 cars are expected to be sold.
 Already 800 acres have ben planted to cucumbers for picking in Marshall coun- ty, and County Agent J. M. Draper is of the opinion that 100 additional acres will yet be planted, even though unfa- vorable weather has caused poor stands In Conecuh county campaign for the control of the tomato or roasting ear worm on tomatoes has been launched by F. R. Pettis, who is giving a gSeat deal of attentione to truck crops this year. Early in the season the Conecuh farmers sold several cars of radishes at satisfac- tory prices, and now they are busy with their sweet potatoes, tomatoes, beans and similar crops
 An encouraging feature in connection with all this trucking is that the farmers concerned are cooperating in the solution of mutual problems and are putting into practice methods which have made truck ing profitable in other states.

 Into the radium of light that streamed from the lantern overhead, there stumbled the thin figure of a man with sly, oriental face and eyes ablaze.
 X queer, twisted grin rested on his dusky features. He was hatless. and hls black lanky hair hung untidily on either side of his high forehead

 As though he had divined the others intention, Masy's pursuer-with the agility of an acrobat-leaped to his feet; then with a lightning quickness, bolted across the road, crashed through q hedge and made off across the 1 fields.
 Dick followed.
 Mary, weak and trembling, leaned asainst the doorpost of the Barley Now.
 She noticed that the papers she had given to Dick had fallen on the ground.
 She stopped and picked them up. Her head was gddly, and faintness once again almost overcome her But she clutched the papers tight

SIXTH SENSE USED
TO SOLVE MURDER

A woman's instinct, intuition, sixth
sense-call it what you will-can
sometimes solve full murder mystery
where the machinery of logic, as en-
bodied in the minions of the law,
fails. That is the unusual theme at
the core of "The Last Card" to be
shown at the Kenworthy Theatre on
Wednesday as the feature attraction.
Those who know what Bayard Veil
Ter has done in Within the Law and
1.-THE Thirteenth Chair" two of the
Strongest melodramas ever produced
in America will be interested in the
announcement that "The Last Card"
is a Bayard WELLER production re-
leased by Metro. 1t bears the stamp
of this greath wizard of he drama and
stands GU prominently as one of the
finest pictures seen in long while.
Added to this is the fact that May
Allison has the starring part.
Miss Allison has the role of Elsie
Kirkwood, the happiest married
woman in town, until her husband is
put in Jail for the murder of a man
whose body is found in the basement
of their home. Sudden inspiration
makes her realize that in some in
applicable, strange way the woman
next door has really a hand in the
murder. Acting on this clairvoyant
realization, Elsie sets a clever trap
in which the murder is enacted to the
very last touch, and the real murderer
brought to sudden confession.
For her supporting cast Miss Ali
son has the following: Al Roscoe,
Stanley Gothals, Frank Elliott, Irene
Hunt, Dana Todd and Wilton Taylor.
"The Last Card" was adapted from
Dated" Maxwell Smiths story which
appeared in the Saturday Evening
Post.
