 "Oliver NJ. Brunell," thought May, "Why, that's the name that belongs to the initials on Herherts cain."
 She turned to Carotta, and there was lock Of strain about her lips as she questioned her. Who Is oliver NJ. Brunell'?" she asked. And why should Dan be getting his letters?"
 Don't ask me-" Carlotta an- swered. "l suppose he's another of the partners in this California oil business of Dan 's-or maybe there i isn't any such person" May nodded thoughtfully.

There was a brown mass on ths top of Jerry Muskrat's house. and perhaps Peter was excusable in talk ing 1t for mass of mud at that distance. It had the color of mud, brown mud.

 The brown mass didn't move again. Peter watched so long that finally he made Up his mind that he must have been mistaken. He made up his mind that his eyes had play ed him a trick, It must be that he had simply thought that something had moved there.

A Wife s Confessional
 Adele Garson's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
Lillian Decides Between Friendship
 and Duty

Lillian Decides Between Friendship
 and Duty
 I rose to my feet under the ex- eltement which Lillian's astounding revelation engendered and found myself obliged to catch at the arm of the chair as I did so for my knees threatened to crumple under me.
 The information which she just had given me that the list of stolen securities from the mall robbery which had baffled Allen Drake for a "nar corresponded exactly to that which I had decoded from Steve's card had staggered me with the pos abilities which is implied.
 l knew that the mall robbery to which Lillian had referred was one involving the murder of the guard. The possession of this list of securi- ties by Steve almost proved his guilty knowledge of that crime. If this were so and Allen Drake sue ceeded in getting hold of him there was not one chance In thousand that Steve" would escape a long term of imprisonment If not the electric chair itself.
 If the man could only be proved an imposter I felt that I could re- ioice indeed at this instance of long delayed justice being done. But his proofs of his identity as stephen Graham had been so convincing that could not escape the belief that this man, probable bank robber and murderer, was my husbands half brother and had the same paternal ancestry which belonged 10 my son.
 Of one thing I was certain. 1m- poster or not the man who called himself stephen Graham if he were apprehended or the crime to which he was at least an accessory would at once make public his relationship to Dicky. At the thought an inVol- untary little groan escaped my lips and I glanced quickly at Lillian, hoping that she had not heard 1t.
 The hope was futile, however. Her ears are sharp, but not so acute as her sympathies and both responded to my need. She rose, forgetting her own weakness and crossing swiftly 10 my side put her hands upon my shoulders and forced me gently back into my chair. Still gripping me she bent her face close to mine,

Then he remem- bored that the nest of Mr, and Mrs. Redwng was somewhere out in those rushes and could be reached only by someone who could swim or f1v He knew that Mir. Blacksnake was a land Snake.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
By DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Public Health Service

A not unusual danger signal of q diseased or deranged condition of the physical or mental system is in somnia or an inability to sleep.
 The healthy man who is tired drops off to sleep almost imme- diately. The man who is fatigued frequently finds himself unable to sleep.
 If 1t happens occasionally that you are unable to sleep you may attrib-
 uto the cause probably to indiges- ton. overeating or the failure of the i intestinal tract to function properly. Such temporary disturbances of
 functions frequently result in sleep lcssness.
 If, however, you suffer from peri odic intervals of insomnia you may he reasonably certain something is wrong; 1t may not he more than i'm proper food, lack of exercise. or too much sedentary work but insomnia is a warning that you are not we'll. Your trouble. however, may he en- tirely physical.
 Periodic inability to sleep. you ould think, would send man to a physician nt once, no matter how unacquainted with rules of health that man he. Yet physicians will tell you that the majority of people fail 10 heed this first danger signal of r'IIodic insomnia. They copsider Ithat periodic insomnia indicates merely 9 temporary disturbance of bodily functions and they delay until the condition producing the insom- 4 minute bath in tempera- ture of about as degrees Farenhcit, followed hy a brisk rubbing, is recommended as a good sleep pro ducer You should see to if that

your bathroom is warmed 10 about J75 degrees. The warm bath draws the blood to the surface of the body and 10 the oStremities and there is consequently a lessoned flow to the brain.
 A hot foot bath, also, may be taken and may prove restive and helpful in producing sleep. Some have found the use of a hot-water bag placed at the feet also helpful,

Of course. Peter Rabbit should have been at home in the dear old Briarpatch. That is where he be- longs in the middle of the forenoon. But Peter wasn't there. Peter was over by the Smiling Pool. It was a sunny morning. Peter was sitting well out of sight beneath the alder bushes that grew near where the Laughing Brook flowed into the Smiling Pool. Just beyond, the rushes grew for some distance out in the water and in the rushes on the edge of the Smiling Pool was Jerry Muskrat's house.
 Nothing had happened and Peter having been out all night, was rath- CT sleepy. He nodded and dozed. It was very quiet, very peaceful and warm. Never in his life had Peter felt more like a nap. He had just about made up his mind that it would be quite safe to really go to sleep, when suddenly Redwing the BIackbird began to make 8 great fuss. Mrs. Redwing joined him.

"HARROWING" ORDEAL
Ned Mccoy Falls Under Drag While
at Fair GrOunds.-Badly Cut.

Ned Mccoy was quite badly hurt
while narrowing the race track at the
fair grounds last Tuesday afternoon.
With his father and another man
ahead in a Ford car Ned was guiding
the destinies of the harrow behind. To
make it cut more deeply he laid down
on the harrow. In some manner Ned
lost his balance and rolled under the
harrow, being dragged for fifteen feet.
He finally disengaged himself and
asked the other men to take him to a
hospital, this being the first the two
men knew of Ned's narrowing" ex-
perience.
Ned's wounds were dressed by DR..
Doolittle. He suffered several gashes
in his face and over each eye, almost
penetrating the lid, harrow teeth had
penetrated to the bone. Strangely
enough, his body was not injured. The
experience is one Ned does not care
to repeat, although he says he has
ridden the harrow numerous times,
and until now without serious harm.

PLAN FOREST TRACT
KIeinpelI Bros. to Devote Five Acres
of Sand Land to Fine Culture.

At the behest of State Forester F. G.
Wilson, Kleinpell Bros, Cassville lum-
Der merchants, are planting a five
acre tract of sand bench north Of their
yard to the culture of pine trees. The
trees will be planted six feet apart
and will run about 1000 to the acre.
On the south side of Riverside park
at Cassville a double row of pines will
be planted This planting will take
place in the spring.
Mr.. Wilson was in Lancaster the
first of the week. He says efforts at
forest culture are being made all over
the state and in Jackson county a
large organization of farm boys has
agreed to undertake pine planting, 100
seedlings to boy.
The trees are furnished by the con-
seryation commission at around $500 a
thousand which is actual cost. Be
tween now and spring an effort will
be made to introduce a general tree
planting on the denuded bluffs of
Grant county as the farmers now real
ize that when they cut away their
timber they dried up the springs.

BANKS PAY TAXES
Court Holds For municipalities In Re-
cent Decision. developments.

The several banks of the county
that had refused to pay their taxes
and were counting on a recent SUI
preme court decision to prove the
method of taxing banks unjust and
unconstitutional, have all paid their
taxes in full, with the interest and
penalties added as provided by law.
The court decision was adverse to the
claims of the banks. This was very
important matter to the taxpayers of
the county and had the claims of the
banks that fought the matter been sus-
tanned, would have reduced bank tax
es in the county by several thousand
dollars per year, which burden, of
course, would have been paid by the
remainder of the taXpayers.-Boscob el
Dial
If Governor Blaine signs the new
income tax law the banks will pay
taxes under its provisions which will
put them under a corporation tax only
