Bailey's innocence?"
The detective stared at her keenly
for a moment.

Dale opened her lips to reveal the
secret, reckless Of what might follow.

Miss Cornelia nipped the heroic at

She put herself between her niece
and the detective, shielding Dale from
his eager gaze.
"But her own guilt" she said, in
tones of great dignity. "No, Mr.. An

the present, and turned to question the
doctor and Beresford who had just re-

grim task of placing Fleming's body

"Well, DOCTOR" he grunted.
The doctor shook his head.
"Poor fellow-straight through the

queried Miss Cornelia.
"No-and the clothing was not

Take Vigorous Measures
Against Pest of Rodents

With rats and mice in evidence in
large numbers, farmers will do well
to begin vigorous control measures
against these filthy, destructive pests.
Powdered barium carbonate, mixed
with various types of food on basis
of one part of the poison to four parts
of the selected food, has proved very
effective.
In the control of large rats, which
are especially destructive to young
poultry, rabbit carcass with the poi
son worked into knife cuts, has given
unusually good results. The poison
should be worked into the cuts in the
proportion of one part to four of the
flesh, and the carcass placed where
rats will have ready access, but poul-
try and other domestic animals will
not be endangered. Securing the car
cass firmly with wire will prevent
large rats from dragging it away.

His DUN Idea

In Kent, says an English writer.
there is farmer who was born with
one of his legs shorter than the other,
and he was very touchy concerning
his legs. A gentleman who Was on
a tour stopped and had a talk with
the farmer, and he said:
"How did 1t happen that you have
a short and long leg? Did you meet
with an accident?"
mo, sir. 1t wasn't an accident
they were made at my request"
"Ha, ha, that's funny; tell me all
about it."

very day was born. That right leg

-resuming his attack on Dale from
another angle.
"Beresford, did Fleming tell you
why he came here tenight?"
BeresfOrd considered the question.

examined it carefully. A mans open

"Yes," he said thoughtfully. stopped
running at ten-thirty. Anybody here

The detective silently held up the
watch so that all present could ex-
anime it. He waited. But If anyone
in the party recognized the watch
no one moved forward to claim it.
"You didn't hear any evidence OF a
struggle, did your" went on Beresford.
"The ground looked as if a fight had
taken place-of course it might have
been a dozen other things"
Miss Cornelia started.
"Just about ten-thirty, Lizzie heard
somebody cry out, in the grounds" she
said.

Short Farm Notes.

Scrub seed should not be allowed
to reproduce themselves.
Look up last years garden plan and
study it for Improvements.
Early potatoes may be secured by
early planting of early varieties In
deep, rich, warm soil, followed by
thorough cultivation or mulching with
straw.
Look over the lists of new garden
tools. They turn out new and more
efficient tools every year.
Time spent selecting and testing
seed corn will pay the farmer many
dollars per hour for his labor.
Bedding the nest with straw or ex-
celsior insures clean place for the
hen to lay her eggs and lessons mate

From the standpoint of sanitation,

Hens which have nothing to do but
stand around are also apt to develop
vicious habits such as egg eating,
