and frequently misunderstood efforts
of Mr.. James Brewster Stimson, Sd.

(and gratefuD owner of the Daily
Globe. Mrs. Harris had given up
sewing and lived a life of elegant
leisure In her renovated cottage.

There was more, much more and
even sweeter. It was dawn and
the birds were singing before he
dropped into happy slumber. To
Jane Northrup and her wealth of
charms or OF her amazing desirability
as a wife he never gave thought
There was room in his heart at
present only for one small yellow
haired girl
Why in the world should he bother
with Jane? Or for that matter why in
the world should Jane bother with
him? What had theyto do with each
other, anyway?
Meanwhile, what of Jone North
rup? Was she or was she not in love
with James Stimson? Had his sud-
den detection caused her only little
natural chagrin or wounded her
deeply? Was she going to weaken or
make fight to save James from
complete disaster?
Miss Julia asked herself these ques-
tions a hundred times daily and
discussed them endlessly with her
intimates. Jane for the moment gave
no sign.

CHAPTER XIV.
ONLY HEARTBREAK.


YAMES was in the midst of de-
livering a speech before the
assembled Congress and Sen
~ ate, with Leslie looking proudly
down from the visitors gallery

not only offered him q cool hundred
thousand not to make, but had
threatened bloodthirstily to get him"
If persisted in) and had just moved
his vast audience to thunderous
cheers when he was brought abruptly
down to earth by the sight of the
father of his divinity making uncer-
tain progress up the street in his d.
rection.
It was Saturday night and John
Harris always celebrated the close Of
the weeks work by going on a glo-
rious spree.
Kansas was dry State, of course,
but that was a minor irritation when
ones town was so fortunately located
that a short walk across the bridge
brought one to more enlightened
community where mans liberty was
not interfered with.
James waited in the shadows until
John had passed him and then turned
and followed him, keeping out Of
sight as much as possible until John
presently lost heart and sat down on
the curb and began an grafton to a
staid lamp post. which he evidently
thought lonely and in need Of enter
tainment.
II am thy fathers spirit,
Doomed for a certain term to walk
the night,
Till the foul crimes done in my days
Of nature
Are burnt and purged away. But
that I am forbid
To tell the secrets of my prisonhouse,
I could a tale unfold whose lightest
word
Would harrow up thy soul. freeze
thy young blood"
declaimed Mr.. Harris while James
hovered uneasily in the background
perplexed as to his next move.
He was afraid to leave the orator
alone and he knew from experience
that before long Leslie would come
seeking him. Not to save his soul
from all the horrors John was pictur-
ing so eloquently would James have
let the girl know that he was witness
to her shame.
In q short time he saw her coming

and hear the sob in her voice. but

Shrinking of Man
RepOrted Checked
By Secret Serum
Padget's Disease Victim
Leaves Hospital, on
Way to Health.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, April 15.-Rapid
recovery from a disease which made
George Booklet, As, look and feel
like an APE man" was reported to-
day by DR.. Frank Nolan, Hollywood
physician and surgeon.
DR.. Nolan attributed the improve
ment in Booklets condition to in
travenous injection of a "life-restor-
ing" serum which he labeled as
Formula x" for the sake of secrecy.
Brocklett, who was gradually shrink
ing in size, has left the hospital.
The reason for the secrecy" DR..
Nolan explained. "is that doctors
from all over the country have writ
ter to me asking for information. I
also have received more than a hun
dred letters from persons suffering
from Padget's disease, asking for
help. This is my own discovery and I
intend to keep it confidential"
Although DR.. Nolan said Booklet
was afflicted with variety of all
ments, he attributed the mans gen.
eral reformation to Padget's disease.
The reformation resulted in Book
let's losing four inches in height In a
year. while his hat size increased
from SIS to 8l4. Booklet also suffered
a spinal curvature which, he said,
caused him to feel like an ape" His
rib and chin bones also shrunk.
A strange reaction from injection
of the serum, DR.. Nolan said, is that
Booklet continually stretches. but the
physician believes this will be oene-
fetal in returning the patients body
to its normal shape
In addition to halting the shrinkage
and filling out of parts of Booklets
body which had "caved in," DR.. Nolan
said the serum also had checked the
head swelling. The physician said
Booklet showed considerable pleasure
and excitement when he tried on on
old cap and it almost fit him.
Il am confident he will be COM
pletely well soon." DR.. Nolan said.

FARM COUNTING IN D. c.
YTOW long does it take one man to
count one farm?
The Census Bureau has found
an answer in the 1885 census of agri-
culture.
Few people have ever suspected the
District of Columbia of being farm
ing area. But in spite of its broad
streets and avenues and its recent
progress as a metropolitan city the
Census Bureau assigned four emu
meratorS to ascertain the facts.
The field men went to work Janu-
ary and concluded their task at the
end of last month. preliminary" fig
ures fixed the number of farms here
as 96.
Four men working three months
each, means the same as one man
working IL months.
At that rates it takes 3.75 days to
count one farm. That figures up to
about three days and l8 hours.
There always was something leis-
urely ABOUT farming.
