Hardlck, In the unlit seclusion of Ida

"Married! Man alive, you a rent In

"Twenty. I could save enough by

"See Itere, Morton. I could give it

She couldn't have done without them.
She didn't know it herself, but her

"What became of the young lady.
Mr. Hardlck?the one you were speaking

"She married?a rich man."
"Was she happy?"
"I don't know," Hardlck suld, shortly.
"She died."
The Interview was fresh In his mind

and the moving tlgures. Within the

Remodel Henhouse Into
Correct Type Is Urged
Many of the old unsatisfactory
poultry housea now to be found ou
farms could he remodeled at little expense
and trouble In such u way as
to provide u comfortable home for the
flock, according to poultryinen ut the
college of agriculture, Utmerslty of
Illinois. The common type of house
lit en Is too uurrow, allowing little
chance for ventilation without drafts
blowing directly on the birds. The
narrow house, 10 to 14 feet tat width
and of shed type, can often he eonverted
Into a half-monitor type by
building an 8 to 10-foot shed on the
front, sloping it toward the south.
Houses of the gable-type of roof,
especially those which are too high,
usually will be made more comfortable
for the hens If bourds are luld
across the plates and a layer of struw
TrtrVeed'rtfl'top" of these. ? - ? . ?.
It will puy to study plans of a type
of poultry house adapted to climatic
conditions where the farm is located
before one decides to build. Many expensively
built poultry houses prove
to he unsatisfactory .because the requirements
of a good poultry house
are not kept In mind. Visiting farms
where modern poultry houses have
been built helps oue to decide which
type Is most suitable for his purpose.
Winter Stores lor Bee.
Quite Important Matter
When honey in the hive Is not of the
. b^st quality, It is unsafe for wintei
stores in any place where the bees do
not have frequent flights during the
winter, viz., almost every week. In
the North, about ten (Qrif1 twelve pounds
of sirup made from'two parts granulated
sugar to one part water should
he fed as soon as the b^es have ceased
brood rearing, as an insurance against
the danger of poor honey. It is wiser,
however, to have an upper story or
"food chamber" already tilled with the
finest honey of the season, ready to
place just above the brood chamber
when the section supers or other surplus
arrangements are removed. Title
will do away with the need of fall or
spring feeding.

Farmer Has $14,200 Stolen From Safe
in (Country Home
Dunn, N. C., July 25. ?Daylight
robber* made a rich haul a short
while before noon Friday when they
bro^e open a safe in the faun home
of David ii. Truelove, two miles
southwest of Iiunn, and got away
with $14,200 in currency.
The surroundings indicated that the
safe was blown ojH'ii, though an
axe was found in the room when the
robbery was discovered by Mrs.
Truelove.
Fourteen thousand dollars of the
money stolen was put up jn packages
of $500 each and was composed largely
of $20 bills, according to Mr. Truelove.
He leported the robbery to the
police department here and blood[
hotmds were secured from Smithfield
! in an effort to apprehend the robbers.
However the efforts so far have been
fruitless.
Mr. Truelove was in Dunn at the
time, of the robbery and Mrs. Truelove
was in the garden some two
hundred yards away from the house.
Mrs. Truelove is deaf and was not
attracted by the robbers.
The tracks of two men could be
seen leading from the home through
a cotton field.
The victim of the robln-ry was reputed
to have had considerable cash
though he never deposited it in u
bank. It has been reported that ho
kept his money buried but he had installed
an iron safe is his horfie some
time ago.

Chicago, July 19.?Aaron Sapiro
admitted today he had received a
"substantial amount" from Henry
Kurd in the settlement out of court
of his libel suit against the Detroit
manufacturer.
Sapiro received Ford's check yesterday
simultaneously with formal
ending of the $1,000,000 action in the
Detroit Federal Court where Judge
Charles C. Simons signed the order
of discontinuance.
Sapiro would not disclose the
amount of the check, but report set
the figures at $140,000.
"1 will not state what Mr. Ford
paid me," Sapiro said, "Of course it
was a substantial amount. I want
it understood, however, this check represents
purt of the cost and all of
the attorney's fees incident to the
suit. I was completely satisfied with
Mr. Ford's retraction and neither
asked nor received pecuniary damages."
Landlady Had Good Momory
Greenville, July 25.? The memory
of Mrs. C. S. Cushion, hoarding house
keeper, is as good us the luck of J. C.
Jordan, a traveling salesman, is bud.
Sixteen years ago Jordun thrived on
Mrs. Cushion's board and ran up a
bill of $27.50 which he still owed up
to Hfst night.
Last night Jordan was in Greenville
for the first time since he suddenly
and qtiietly left Mrs. Cushion and the
board bill behind him. He was sitting
on the front porch of a boarding
house when Mrs. Cashion happened to
pass. The recognition was . not
mutual. Hut Mrs. Cashion knew
Jordan.
She went to a police station and
swore out a warrant for his arrest,
then accompanied officers to the
porch. Jordan soon recognized Mrs.
Cashion and told her he knew all
along he owed her $27.50 but had
fog. otten her name. He paid the bill.
