NITROGEN INDUSTRY BECOMES
 FACTOR.

The production of fixed nitrogen in the United States this year will be three four times greater than last year, says Dr. C. H. Kunsman, Fertilizer and Fixed Nitrogen Chemist of the Bureau of Chem istry and Soils United States Department of Agri- equivalenot of about 100000 tons of Chilean ni- trate, of which this country has been importing about 100000 tons a year.
 By chemical and electrical means nitrogen can be taken out of the atmosphere, and the nitrogen so obtained is called fixed nitrogen because it is necessary to fix combine it with other substances to make it commercially available for fertilizer and other uses he explains.
 For the first time, says Doctor Kunsman, the domestic United States supply of fixed nitrogen becomes an important fraction of the total supply of the domestic production will be used as ferti- lizer the agricultural demands for nitrogen repre- senting, in form another about two-thirds of the total demand for nitrogen.
 In establishing the nitrogen fixation industry in the United States the Government has taken an active part and the Fixed Nitrogen Research Labora tory of the Bureau of Chemistry and Soils the research of which has been of great importance in establishing the industry in this country is con- tinuing it's investigations.
 More than 10 years ago." says Doctor Kunsman "the Government built the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant for war purposes No fertilizer has been pro- duced there although the of the plant for that purpose has been widely advocated. Our increasing supply of fixed nitrogren is coming from new and modern plants constructed by private enterprise"

SEATTLE CLUB MAN AND FINE
 CITIZEN PASSES AWAY.

very high class citizen and one that will be sorely missed in Seattle passed away when Hervey Lndley died a few days ago. MT Lindley hailed from the Middle West, a native of Indiana with Minnesota and Iowa rearing He accumulated a competence in Iowa when yet young man and then came West and added to his wealth While still in middle life he retired and for thirty years or more he has simply cared for his private invest ments and devoted his remaining energies to what ever public private matter that appealed to him. He became the Republican leader in Southern Cali fornia and then came to Puget Sound thirty years ago because his wife liked the Seattle climate better than that of the South In Seattle he devoted much of his time to the Republican Party and his various clubs. He was active in Chamber of Com merce work. and. being appointed chairman of the Columbia Basin project committee, he did a lot toward the furtherance of that scheme His was the life of wealthy gentleman who enjoyed his asso- citations with his family and friends and who was in turn enjoyed He collected fine library and works of art and built up wonderful home He enjoyed them all.

T am so very thankful" said the little black clock, that I decided to accept the magic. How very foolish I would have been had I not accepted it."
 And what a lot we would have missed" said John.
 Its wonderful of you to take us with you" Peggy said.
 The little blac.1 clock grinned. He got off his place on the desk in the back hall, and, taking a hand of each of the children, started off.
 What does it matter" the little black clock continued, that I have stopped keeping the time for the rest of the world? There are plenty of other clocks.
 What does it maJCer if I am al- ways o'clock to them? Seven o'clock The time when I stopped so many years ago.
 What does it matter, just so long as they like me and keep me? And now we've become friends, and you both can share my magic.
 "Oh, yes; it's so much nicer for me to be able to turn back to any time at all-or turn forward to any time at all
 You can have the correct time when you're not with me. We can go back We can go ahead. I've got enough magic, too, 50 that when you get back to bed I can give you some extra time, and you don't lose any sleep.
 Its just as lucky as it can be-"
 Lucky for us," the children both agreed
 Let me see, let me think" said the little black clock. How far back or how far ahead shall I go?"
 Can we have last Saturday after noon all over again?" John asked.
 of course! What happened at that time?"
 "The circus" said John.

Synop5.s: 4 secret chamber of Few Lodge discovered by Peggy Prescott precipitates a series of revclations that lifts the veil of mystery. The dying message of Herbert Prescott given to Sum down reveals his plan to foil Phiiander Chase from stealing his fortune, secreting the clew to the hiding place of his wealth in the family bible which Peggy found. Obadiah Evans then exposes Philander Chase masquerading as his twin brother, Aquiia, who was killed by snake; then Philander con- fesses having killed Lieut.. Ed gar stanton to prevent expos ure.

[ But I'm not lost" Anne protest ed.
 "No-?" The amusement fingered in his eyes. Anyway. this trail t. the left will take you back to the lodge in half the time you came up" He paused, then added, T must apologize for interrupting your mirror gazing Miss-Eve?'
 With a humorous, satirical glancc he turned to go and did not note the red which swept into Anne IS face. She was not accustomed to that tone from a man.
 It was plain that he had watched her admiring herself in the spring and had interpreted it as display of vanity. A biting retort formed in her mind but she checked her self. She was hungry and had mo- ticed the knapsack that hung from his shoulder.
 Don't go yet-please," and there was pleading note in her tone that caused tho man to halt.
 q don't want to be a nuisance but I am frightfully hungry"
 Why didn't you say so before?' he demanded brusquely as he loos- ened his knapsack and began to prepare a meal
 While Anne watched his defS movements, he kindled a fire for coffee, and spread sandwiches be- fore her.
 Help yourself" he offered as he

T don't know how to thank you, i r. she said.
 You needn't" he broke in Any one would do the same"
 Anne started to draw away her hand but he held it, raised it to his lips and kissed 1t deliberately. Goodbye, Miss-Eve." He swept eff his hat, turned and strode off lup the trail, without backward glance
 ] Anne stood motionless, watching until his. big, easily swinging body was lost around curve in the trail. Her skin was on fire with that last hateful glance; her hand stung as 1 if it had been plunged into a bed of nettles. Her pride and vanity had been outraged.
 Biting her lips fiercely to keep back the. angry tears, she turned to discover the old gold-miner and his dog just clambering up over the edge of the cliff. They advanced warily. On a long forked stick in front of him, Sheb carried Anne's tam
 He proffered it-still warily. Anne took it with the briefest thanks, pulled it down over her disordered hair and looked about for her gloves. Sheb draped his lanky body lnegligently against tree. Missy he said soiemnly, "jes' you take my advice an leave i'm be-leave i'm be-"
 Anne, busily engaged in putting on her gloves which she had To- cated finally. snapped a fastener and glanced up. I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about" The old man eyed her keenly.

away from the lodge, her Aunt En- fly, and Leon Morse, multi-million- aire New Yorker, who was her host in his retreat in the Sierras. She knew that someday he would pro- pose but had she not grown up knowing that sine must marry someone with his qualifications? Nothing less would satisfy her Aunt Emily.
 Half hypnotized by her crystal gazing she was unaware that she was not alone. Then she noted the shadow that turned to brown the surface of the spring.
 As she strengthened up she found a tall man, his steel gray eyes fixed upon the piquant picture she presented.
 With an expert eye born of long appraisal she took in, with swift glance the muscular lines of the intruder whose face was stamped with the healthy vigor of the west From his plain costume-flannel shirt, khaki trousers and high boots she concluded he was a work man.
 The man broke the silence. T did not mean to intrude thought Iyou were someone else Strangers seldom come here"
 How do you know I'm stran- Iger?" Anne asked interestedly. He swept her from head to foot with an amused glance. That's not hard to guess-with Fifth avenue written on your clothes or is it | the Rue de la Paix?" Anne smiled at his discernment. Her visitor apparently had travelled, she thought.
 Gan I be of any service to you in finding your way back to the llodge?" he inquired solicitously.

crawled from under the landslide of rock and earth. He stopped and dragged out an old hound dog, as lank, as raw boned and as shaggy as himself
 That's Japheth,' Annes com panion explained. They haven been separated night or day for almost 10 years. Better not let them see you-they're inve.erata woman-haters, both of them.'
 T sec" Anne unused aloud, "it runs in the family
 He laughed. By no means"
 Nevertheless, Anne drew farther back out of view, but heard the shrill piping voice of the prospec- tor.
 Young man, of I sees fit to pull the hull durn mountain down on mo, it ain't nobuddy's business but mine, is it?"
 Not as long as you don't pull anybody else down wit, you.' the man on the cliff acknowledged.
 Shcb suddenly threw down his shovel and hauled something out Of the dirt. It was Anne's tam O. shanter.
 He has found your hat. I'll go down and get it," and started off but Anne shook her head emphat- ically.
 He repacked his knapsack and rose to go. Anne extended her hand with frank friendliness.

turned to watch the coffee. "Shet always puts up enough for a dozen
 Who is Sheb?" Anne inquired as she munched sandwich. Her host poured some coffee in tin cup before giving any sign he had heard.
 "Sheb-oh, he's my pal and gen. Ieral factotum-an old gold hunter I ran across down in the foothills years ago. He's stuck to me ever since, as faithful as his old dog Japheth, sticks to him. I put up the grub stake as he calls it, and he goes right on prospecting-"
 You mean there's still gold in these mountains" Anne interiected
 ''Yes, plenty of it, Sheb says, and he has been prospecting in the Sier- ras for almost 40 years"
 Lighting a cigar, he watched Anne devour the food. He wonder ed what she was doing at the lodge. what connection she really had with Morse and if she knew of Mcrse's scheming and planning. He was about to question her when Anne finished and set down her cup. Then. before he could speak. a ringing blow on the side of the cliff drew their attention.
 Sounds like Sheb-" he re- marked and as he moved toward the edge to look, there was a louder noise. and part of the cliff crum- bled.
 Its Sheb, all right" he corrobo.. rated smilingly. then in a louder tone. Hey, there, old man. what are you trying to do? Pull down the whole mountain?"
 Anne leaned forward and gagged cautiously over the edge. She be- held the most crooked, shaggiest old man she had ever seen, as he

 She pulled herself little higher on her elbows, turned her head slowly from side to side, studying herself critically in the mirrorcd surface of the spring
 Her skin glowed satin smooth and she was glad. Before leaving New York she had thought she detected signs that tattle of passing youth.

 T can never tell you how grate- full am; how much I admire your cleverness. Philander Chase might have gotten away if you hadn't seen through his disguise. just can't thank you enough"
 Pass 'em on to Jim" Obadiah said somewhat abashed by the girls act which warmed his heart and brought tears to his eyes. we are close kin, you know"
 The young naval officer threw his arm about his stepfather's shoulders. And I'll say this,7 con- tinued Obadiah, we didn't either of us willingly mislead you; but we couldn't 'zactly find a place to conveniently undeceive you without having you think Jim was trying to do you out of your rightful inheri- tance.'
 "Oh. don't, please don't" protest ed Peggy. She wanted no remin- der of the unpleasant thoughts that had filled her mind at various times in her dilemma concerning this shrewd Yankee farmer, who had been almost father to her and the son she loved.
 Well, settle it between you" Obadiah took a hesitating step to- ward the front door; then paused. "Oh, I clean forgot; Debby found that letter bearing Jims name on it when she was over by the wood pile. Shutdown was hanging round that day and he may have picked it up when you dropped it, bribing Ben to take the empty envelope to you. Had you read the letter, Peg gy, it would have given you the clew to Jims identity"
 T found out, anyway but why didn't AGuila-I mean Philander- Chase give me q hint about Jim?" Peggy asked.

 And" added Obadiah, your un- cle wasn't chummy with his wifes people, and I was just as stand offish as he I doubt if he ever mentioned to a soul I was his Ibrother-in-law and I wasn't boast ing none of the kinship.'
 Peggy recalled the stories of the quarrels between her uncle and Obadiah and she smiled as she ob- served the twinkle in his eye as he opened the front door and vanished into the night.
 Julia retreated discreetly to the kitchen to prepare dinner and Peg gy and Jim faced each other.
 Peggy seated on the couch. low cred her eyes as Jim approached her. In a second his arms were about her, his low insistent voice pleading for him. ,"Can you forgive me for being myself?'
 FILTH try" Her answer was muffled. TT must ask forgiveness for doubting you, Jim" | His hand slipped under her chin land raised her head. He looked into her eyes--a gaze which pene- trated her soul.
