was obliged to admit that it was sound

about Panama to realize the difficult
ties of searching jIngles and water

need of sleep that it was absurd to
attempt to push the human engine any
further without time for recuperation.

made his way toward the Washington
Hotel lost in thought.
Strolling along, his hands in his
pockets. his head dropping with weari-
ness and discouragement, he noticed
little of the streets through which he
walked. content to follow the general
direction to his hotel, when his eye
was attracted by flames issuing
through a fence which bordered the
street.
Hello" He was startled from his
reverie. whats burning-a house?"
He stopped abruptly, approached the
fence and, finding it easy to climb,
suited his action to his thoughts and,
mounting to the top, jumped lightly
down into a garden, relieved to find
that the flames issued not from a
building but from a bonfire.
Dangerous to leave that kind Of
fire alone" he said to himself, and
began to tramp out the flames which
crept so near the fence. His quick
eye took i'll the surroundings Of the

closely. his face intent.

was about to return to the street when
his glance rested upon the burning
pile and disclosed to view something
so strange that for a moment he stood
still, dumbfounded.
A woman's leg stood erect in the
flames!
Christopher gave vent to an excla-
nation of horror.

And without regard to singed hands.
he trod into the fire and grasped the
charred leg. beating out the flames
which played upon it. Then, fearing
to be seen, he vaulted the fence and,
still clasping the leg, red hot though
it was. hurried away. looking back
fearfully as he hoped that he had not
been observed.
Fortunately for Chris. he was soon
able to turn into A dark alleyway and
drop the red hot mass. pausing to
nurse his blistered fingers.
''Of all things" he muttered as he
waited for the uncanny burden to
cool. ''of all things" And presently.

FARM AND FACTORY MUST ALLY SELVES

 England Fair

Worcester, Mass, Sept. % CCP)- Agriculture and industry must learr that their problems are one, and | that they must work to each others advantage, Lieutenant-G Governor Frank c. Allen declared in an ad- dress at the New England fair here today.
 There could be practically no profitable agriculture in this or any other section if it were not for the fact that our industries are here. and our industries cannot continue to exist unless there is a consider able amount of food raised nearby, so that we are dependent one upon the other he said.
 "Massa chusetts has much 10 thank the farmer for in the great work in which he is engaged. and the commonwealth recognizes this fact in the support of agricultural fairs as a state institution.
 They make for happier homes, finer farms, a higher standard of living-these are only some of the accomplishments of the fair.
