tons, and, still In his pajamas, got a
small valise from a closet and began
filling it with shirts, collars, and such
other articles as q man needs for a
short journey.
When he reached his Office, for twen-
ty galvanic minutes, without wasted
word, he outlined conclsely what he
wanted done during his absence, con-
sidering and settling various problems
that in the interim might arise. Per-
ceiving the flight of time, he snatched
his hat from the floor, and, with Hunt
trotting along beside, hurried to the
elevator. still giving directions and ad-

indeed, that he felt his trip had been
wasted. He had located some men,

them. quite anonymously, sum of
money larger than any they had ever
known. Then he took train for Chi
eago. There was nothing else to do.
But he could not forget Vividly
against the background of his mind
were marshaled all Esther had done
for him. all her little acts of Kindness
her unselfishness, but doglike devotion.
And then he would think of the re-
quital he had made. His memory
logged him pitlessly. He thought Of
how he had left her alone with Niko-

Vernon County farmers are very

country by raising some sorghum

for them.
There has been a mill down near
Folsom for many years but it will not

who win supply the demand for the
existing conditions and start up a mill
somewhere in this vicinity. Farmers
are willing to haul their cane a long
way but they must first know where
that somewhere can be found.
Farmers should raise some cane ev-

to Toledo, Iowa, that the children
might receive better school advant-
ages. In Toledo Mrs. Markee entered
into the religious and social activities
of the community with her whole soul.
