The Mysterious Whistle.
How Farmer Brown did laugh wher
he came home and heard about the
mysterious whistle, which had called
his boy up from the cornfield Either
you must have imagined that whistl,
or else some boy mas learned our pri
vate signal and played joke on you
| no declared.
But Farmer Browns Boy was posi-
tive that he hadn't imagined thai
whistle. II heard it, said he, "just
as plainly as ever l have heard it. ]
| don't know of any boy around here
, who would play a trick like that
Somebody whistled, and / mean to
find out who 1t was"
The next morning Farmer Browns
Boy went to town on an errand, and
was gone until noon. He did not re
turn until after Farmer Brown had
come up from the cornfield where he
had been working that morning
Farmer Brown saw him come into
the yard and there was a funny look
on Farmer Browns face. rs this the
first time you have been back since
you started out early this morning.
he demanded.
Yes. sir" replied Farmer Brown s
Boy. why do you ask?"
Because. replied Farmer Brown s
Boy. why do you ask?"
Because" replied Farmer Brown,
II thought | heard you whistle to me
twice during the middle of the
morning"
well. I didn't" replied Farmer
Browns Boy. 1T wasn't my whistle
you heard. for / was at the village.
Now 1 guess you really do believe
that I heard whistle yesterday.
Yes. son." replied Farmer Brown.
II believe you heard whistle lust
as you said you did. If 1 refused to
believe It I couldn't believe that I
heard that whistle myself this morn
ing, and I know that I did hear It..
1t was our own private signal whis.
tied Just as we always whistle It.
Some one certainly is playing a Joke
on us. Who It can be | have no idea
at ALL"
Right at that very minute both
heard that whistle. Being In the
house they couldn't tell exactly where
1t came from, out both heard it.
Farmer Browns Boy Jumped up from
the dinner table. I'm going to find
that fellow" he declared. I'm going
to look through every hiding place.
Whoever is doing that whistling is
having lot OF fun. But I'm going
to put an end to 1t by finding out
who 1t is

Muir went to the gallows cour-
ageously a few hours after he had
said pathetic farewell to his mother,
Mrs. May Muir. a widowed dress

He walked to the scaffold with firm
step. On the scaffold, the handsome

catch the morning sun and the black
hood.
the hood was adjusted.
There was a grating sound. Then
a swift. downward rush--and all was
ended.
The trap was sprung at S:35. Ten
minutes later, the Jail physicians de-
clared Muir dead.
Claims Trial Unfair.
Before he died, Muir addressed a let.
ter to the sheriff of the distict, de-
claring he d not have a fair trial.

Muir's case attracted wide interest
De Richelieu and other prominent
New York women interested them
selves in his behalf and the case even
went so far as TO be put up to State
department at Washington for inter
vention.
Laviolette was killed during a
drunken brawl. Both men, accord.
ing to testimony, were drinking.
Muir contended he was trying to
protect a cripple. Because OF ap-
parent lack Of deliberate intent and
Muir's youth, the Duchess De Richie

WHEAT TARIFF
BOOST SEEN
Forecast at White House
After Tariff Body Reports

Washington, March Am increase
in the tariff rates on wheat as a
result of the tariff commissions in
vestigation was forecast at the
White House.
The commissions conclusions are
understood to show difference in
the production cost of wheat in Can
ada and in the United States greater
than is represented in the present
duty of 80 cents bushel.
The president expects to act
promptly, in accordance with the re-
port of the commission, under the
flexible provisions of the tariff
agent.
He probably will increase the duty
to as cents, the maximum under the
law.
The presidents action under the
law will take the form OF procla-
nation placing the new rates in eff
feet. Inasmuch as the commission
inquiry covers wheat products pro-
portional increases are expected to
be made in the rates on these COM
,modities.
