And with this haunting sense OF hover
ing crisis, he turned back to his apart
ment.
There Peter tried to read, expert
encing that irritating lack of concen-
tration which comes to all readers
whose minds steal away from the page
allowing the eyes to travel on alone
like Independent animals photograph
ing mere type without ideas, until
whisked back by their master to the
place where they had ceased to read
and begun only to move arcoss the
lines of print. He put the book down.
The romance did not hold him; he had
come to the threshold of romantic reali-
ties. He had knocked upon a noncom-
initial door. He was waiting for it to
open.
1t did in fact open-and quickly.
Before nine, the old elevator man
came rocking along the corridor on his
long and his short leg and rang Peters
bell.
There's a gentleman below, sir" he
said. II knew you was here, sir, but
told him would see."
What was his name?" asked De-
Wolfe.
"Smallwood, sir, Smallwood A very
sleepish mana restful man, like"
"You never can tell by the first look, "
said Peter. Sunday night And
Smallwood-bring him up"
The second meeting with the pale
personality of the authority on books
made him appear to Peter a few
shades lighter in pallor. His eyes were
almost mere colorless openings in a
face of little more the color of moon
stone by contrast with the shell rims
of his glasses. His free hand hung
listless as If it were just out of refrig-
Grafton. He wore a suit Of pale gray,
the pattern Of which was so delicate
that it might have been only the fancy
of weak eyes. Smallwood looked as
If he were something that had stood
out through a rainy season.

''You don't mean-Y exclaimed
Peter.
The other man in answer placed the
package under his arm on Peters long
Jacobean table. The motion was al
most surreptitious.

"Oh, how kind Of you to say So"
Smallwood said. 81 found this today
and thought 1 would drop In with
it."
He appeared about ready to lie
down and go to sleep.
"Look here" said Peter. "You know
that was mighty kind, to come up here
and all that. I'll not forget it. Quite
aside from the professional obliga-
tion.'
Smallwood raised his cold-storage
hand as the orator does when pretend
ing that applause is undeserved. The
gesture also appeared to give Peter
permission to inspect the prize. Off
came the string and off the wrapping
paper. Without glance at the bind
ing or title Peter tapped over the
pages. Thirty, thirty-one, two, three,
four, FIVE. Thirty-six! Thirty-sevenl
"All here !" exclaimed DeWolfe look
ing up, but as if even the pallor of
Smallwood had faded out completely,
the book collectors counselor had
gone; he had closed the door noiseless-
ly as If the paleness of him not only
was for the sight but for the sense of
hearing as well.
Peter pushed the third copy of the
rare volume upon which he had put
his hands under the arc of the bronze
lamp.
1.-THE way presents no obstacles to
progress save the sand which is loose
for the feet of horses" Father Carlos.
the Jesuit explorer, had written. "This
region of fine sand blown by winds
from the Mesa begins at the valley
that we have called the Dry Cup and
by me is so marked upon the drawing.
Thence it runneth straight north for
distance of one hundred and five.
Here was found a vast mound, some
of our party saying below great rock
was to be found. The course from this
mound is northwest; one we have fol-
lowed by great good fortune like a
miracle. there being only impossible
clefts in the plain to the right and to
the left and only one entrance into the
Great Cleft, where is the ruins of the
city-part upon the level ground and
part upon the southern wall of the
Mesa"
Peter turned to the map drawn so
quantity by the painstaking priest
nearly two centuries ago, lest others
unguided by the hand of God become
lost"
At the end of twenty minutes of
study DeWolfe stood erect and drew
in deep breath. These pages then
were those which Parmalee had sought
and found, the same as those which
he had torn out of the book; they had
been associated with some strange

Wether Lambs Favored

Wether lambs are quiet and easily
handled. They feed we'll and make
good gains in flesh, particularly In
HEADQUARTERS, the region of the high
priced cuts. Thus better quality of
carcass Is secured together with high
er market prices. 1t Is often stated
that lambs which are to be shipped
to market before they are four months
old need not be castrated. This is a
mistake, as some of the ram lambs Will
always begin to worry the rest of the
flock.

Tankage for Cattle

You can get practically the same
results in raising pigs on beef cattle
farms as you can on dairy farms by
using any high protein feed of ami
NAL origin to replace the milk. The
feed generally used fer this purpose is
without much trouble anywhere in the
country, and fed in small quantities,
usually about 10 per cent of the er-
tire ration. You will get practically
the same results as when the skim
milk is fed.

TIE PRESIDENTS
 REGALIA

One of the disadvantages Of being president of these United States is that hls personal affairs are laid open to the prying eyes of fellow citizens, Dispatches from Washing ton for some time have alluded to the kind of spring hat the President hal purchased, his new spring suit, his new shoes and the color of his necktie. Nothing was said, however, of the color of of his pajamas or his night shirt.
 All of which is pure fooishness. It is nobody's business, yet an in quisitive public seems interested and the news is fed to them rclentlessly, mostly by special correspondents who are very special at that sort of thing.
 In giving the facts about what 1 type of garments the President ac- tually bought for spring wear the Associated Press gives a lefthanded rebuke to the specials, and this by telling the exact truth without em- bclIishments. The high silk hat which the President purchased, in- stead of being of cheap material, as had been stated, really cost s20. and lis of the best construction" We imagine that a s20 hat is good enough for any first man of the land
 Instead of paying 65 cents to boot

 really sent it to a hat factory to bt
 put in first class condition, whicl

 cjdcnt. it is related, shows that th'
 President is in favor of buying "goot goods and then taking proper car : of them" This looks like real eco nony; and we think the incident i one well worth taking to heart b. other citizens. The purchase of poo goods under mistaken belief tha it means economy has fooled us il the past but we have quit it fo . some years, although the day IS stiI far distant when We will allow our selves to be set back two ten-spot for a hat.

JURY SERVICE BILL PROPERLY DEFEATED

Rejection Of the bill to permit women to serve on jurics in Con- nccticut was entirely expected. We have read considerable comment in the states press upon this matter and opposition to permitting women to serve on Juries appeared to be unanimous. Sentiment may be otherwise in some states, but in Connecticut there appears to be a very conservative attitude of the electorate in this matter. The sur prise is that the bill got as much as sixty votes in the house.
 What good jury service would do Connecticuts womankind is not clear; what inconvenience such a service might cause is self-cfident. Most women do not desire this kind of right"

average farmer since 1920 could have obtained a larger income had he hired himself out as a hired man. But it that were the case, who could have afforded to employ him? When farmers could not make enough to make both ends meet the chances are they could not employ many hired men.
 Tho governor Is right when he concludes that scanty crop fre- qucntly Is worth more to the farmer than a bumper one, Only the other day prices of raw cotton advanced materially upon reports that there was a drought in Texas. The value of the corn crop last year was $2O0,- o00,000 more than the year before, although 1t was 20 percent smaller.
 Farmers for decade have been told to "produce more" The facts are that the more they produce-or when nature lets thcm-the less they get. This condition is untenable in any industry, and farming will not be on sound basis until the system of marketing is improved to the point where such a dismal condition no longer exists,
 Whenever the farmers get more for a scanty crop it means that the consumers oC their output-the toli; 1 living in the citics-haVe to pa! more for less. Farmers do not gair much under such conditions, and tho consumers lose. Somebody in be tween is the winner.
