he had chosen for leaving the house
proving, unfortunately, to be also the
time proposed by her ladyship for his
interview with the lawyer. In 10 min
utes after the footman had reported
his absence, Moody returned. II was
then too late to present himself in
the drawing room. In the interval MI.
Troy had taken his leave, and Moody's
position had dropped degree lower
in Lady Lydiard's estimination.
Isabel received her letter by the
next mornings post. If any justifica-
ton of Mr.. Troy ssuspicions had been
needed, the terms in which Moody
wrote would have amply supplied it.
Dear Isabel q hope l may call you
Isabel without offending you in your
present trouble)-I have a proposal
to make, which. whether you accept
it or not, bed you will keep Sec
ret from every living creature but our
selves You will understand my re-
quest when | add that these lines re-
late to the matter of tracing the stol-
en- bank note.
81 have been privately in communi-
cation with person in London who
is, as | believe, the one person COM
petent to help up in gaining our
end. He has already made many in
quiries in private. With some OF them
am acquainted; the rest he has thus
far kept to himself The person to
whom / allude particularly wishes to
have half an hours private converse
ton with youth my presence. !
am bound to warn you that he is
very strange and very ugly old man,
and l can only hope that you will look
over his personal appearance in con-
sideration of what he is likely to do
for you.
Can you conveniently meet us at
the further end of the row of villas In
which your aunt lives, the day after
tomorrow, at four o'clock? Let me
have one line to say if you will keep
the appointment, and If the hour
named will suit you. And believe me
your devoted friend and servant,
ROBERT MOODY.
The lawyers warning to her to be
careful how she yielded too readily to
any proposal of Moody's required to
Isabel's mind while she read those
lines. Being pledged to secrecy she
could not consult Mr.. Troy--she was
left to decide for herself.

CUT ASSESSED VALUE
OF IDAHO FARM LAND
Last Years Valuation Reduced Over
$4,000, 900 by Board of
Equalization.

The equalized valuation Of lands In
Idaho on which the farmer pays taxes
is more than $6,O00,OOO less than it
was in 1922, it is announced by
Idaho's state board e'f equalization.
Part of this decrease was made by
the board and the remainder was
brought about by the work of the
county assessors and the county
boards of equalization.
Accurate figures on the states
valuation for this year will not be
available for several days, but q
brief summary shows that the equal
lied valuation Of all property in the
state for 1923 has been decreased
approximately $1,25O,OOO. A further
decrease of $S22,O00 on public utility
property is to be added to this, maxi
ing a total reduction in the valuation
of all real property in the state Of
approximately $1,600,00O. Last year
the state had a valuation of $751;
s75,5S6.78.
Decreases by which the farmer
benefited were made by the board on
agricultural land, dry land and milk
cows. On these three items the re-
auctions amounted to $17209, 4S1.8O.
From this amount however, there is
to be deducted an increase in the
value of irrigated land amounting to-
$10,309, 1924.
In contrast with the decrease
made on farm lands, the figures Is
sued by the board show an increase
of more than s1,O0O0OO in the valua1
ton Of sawmills and lumber. Every
dollar of this increase was made by
the board, and Is divided about equally
between the mills and lumber. An in
crease of $817,030 was made In the
valuation of sawmills, and 1851 .341. 40

tariff on magnesite and magnesite In
dustry OF Stevens county, which has
undergone a hectiv career since the
ending of the war knocked the bot
tom out of prices on this mineral and
opened the foreign field to import2=
ton, is again threatened
The magnesite industry was put en-
tirely out of business following the
war by the importations Of Austrian
magnesite. which before the war was
the world source for this product
A long and bitter fight, fathered by
former United States Senator Miles
Poindexter, resulted finally In the
passage OF a tariff on magnesite Of
S11.50 a ton on the dead burned
product and $6 ton on the crude
product.
This allowed Of gradual resump-
ton OF operations in the great mag
nestle mines of Stevens county, and
they are only now getting onto a

WILLIAM S. HART AT
 LIBERTY LAST TIME TONIGHT

Built thrill upon thrill right up to a smashing climax and then fin ish of most unusual nature, aptly describes, in the proverbial nutshell
 the last William S. Hart Paramount picture, which was presented to a most appreciative audience at the Liberty Theater last evening It concerns chiefly the mind struggles Of two distinct types of men both coveting a good woman who is, so fate wills it, the wife of another man, preacher of the word of God
 There is deadly rivalry born of the situation and it is this rivalry which precipitates the thrills. Both men are fearless and in the matter of eunplay alone they demonstrate an art which has long since ceased to exist. The story was written by William IS. Hart, himself Ethel Grey Terry, Mary Jane Irving and Brinsley Shaw are among those pres ent in the cast and the entire Die ture is one decidedly not to be over

Says We Must Keep Feet Dry, Avoid Exposure, Eat
 No Sweets.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat no sweets of any kind for a while. drink lots of water and above all take spoonful of lad Salts to help keep down uric and toxic acids.
 Rheumatism is caused by poison toxins, called acids, which are gene rated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine. The pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed, thus forcing the kidneys to do double work; they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate This poison, which keeps sccumulat- ing and circulating through the sys- tenn. eventually settling in the joints and muscles, causing stiffness, sore ness and pain. called rheumatism.
 At the~first twings of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts; put a table spoonful in glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week This is helpful to neu- tralize acidity, remove body waste also to stimulate the kidneys, thus helping to rid the blood of these rheumatic poisons
 lad Salts is inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is. used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism

They make it possible for the farmer to ret precisely the same service that the city man gets from the man who delivers milk to his door. With extension of the good roads pro- gram the service will eventually be
 xpanded to every one of Amer ica's 6,500,000 farmers.
 The trucks cannot be purchased by the public. They are owned on- ly by Mccormick -Deering dealers. of which there are over 15,O00 scat tered across the country.

It is a high-powered service truck that can speed like a fire engine to a harvest field or to a dairy farm to make machinery repairs, fur nish supplies and otherwise aid the farmer.
