One thing however. He felt a r.cnso cf security in regard to Florence such as he had. not felt before. - So, between asignmenta, he rah out to Riverdale and did what he could to r linnie his .sweetheart. Later, ? they took short rides in tho runabout,-and at length she h~""nes as lively as she had ever been. But often she would catch Norton brooding. ._ "What maltes you frown like" that?''

"Do you know where I ? can find her?" The maid eyed him with covert keen ness; then, remembering that the re porter was with Florence, said: "I be lieve she is at the Rose Garden this afternoon."' "That is in town?" "Yes." "Thanks." The man turned abrupt ly and mn down the steps. The maid ran back to Jonos. 1 "Why' didn't you call me?" he de manded impatiently. "There wasn't time." ."Bjd you tell bim where she was?" "Yes. But I shouldn't bavo told him if Mr. Norton had not been with Miss Florence." Jones ran to the front, dashed out, eyed the back of the man hastening down the street, .smiled, and. return ed .to his work, or. rather,, to the maid. Ho took her by the shoulder, whirled her about, and shot a loolr into her eyes that Quailed her. [ ' "Always c*H me, heroafter, no mat ter what lim doing. That man has never laid eyes on.

So the two of them joined their sub- 1 tye enemy, conscience , of a tingle of seat as they did so. On hex- part the ' ;ountesB was always suspicious of thc 1 ileepy-eyed reporter.

' j Now it happened that Florence went out for her early ride the next morning, and crossing a field she saw a man with a bundle under his arm. ! The B?? struck-his profile and limn-! od lt plainly, ?nd Florence uttered a' low cry. Tlie main had'; not observed her. So, very quietly, she slipped from the horse, tethered it to a tree, And started after the man to learn what he was doing so far from the city. She would never forget that face. She had seen it that dreadful night when tho note had. lured ber into the hands of her enemies. The face be longed to the man who bad imper sonated Ker father. It occurred to her that she might lust as well do a little detective work on her own hook. She had passed through so many terrifying episodes that she was beginning- to crave for the excitement strange as this may seem. Like a gambler who has once played' for high stakes, she no longer ! found pleasure in thimbles, aoil need- ? le ; and Dins. She followed the man ' with no little skill arid ut length saw him approach a knell; stop, apparent- \ ly '{tress a spring", "?d. a hole sud- j deuly yawned. The ] nmn vanished quickly, and the spot took on again its original appearance. A ca.'e; Florence had the patience to wait'. ? By and by the man |appeared agr.ln ? and slunk away. ! , When she was sure that he was j beyond range, she came out frt/c* the, place of concealment, crept *!p tho: knell, and searched about for the ! magic handle of this strange door. Diligence rewarded her, and she toon found herself In a large, musty earth smelling cave Loot was scattered about, end there were boxes and chairs and a large chesL_ Men evidently met here, possibly -after some desperate adventure against roclety. She found Doth lng to reward her hardihood and ss she waa'in the act of moving to ward the cave's door ehe beheld with terror that lt waa moving! . j She waa near the chest at that mo ment. The cave was,not a deep one. There waa no tunnel, only a wall. Resolutely el raised the lld of the Bbest> ..ter i cd saide, -and drew the j lld down. Fho waa Just in time. The door op "' nu1 three men entered. I talking vuw . They felt perfectly! secure in talki ag as loudly as they i pleased.

To an outsider lt ls a biank paper. But the DOBS .will be able to read IL . . ." Th ti' speaker moved away from the vicinity of-thc chest, and .ehe heard no more. Very- deftly Florence raised the lld lust enough to peep out. Tbs man who had? been talking was putting the note IA his hip pocket. As bc turned toward'?the chest he sat down on the soapbox immediately in front jf the chest. An inspiration came to the girl, an exceedingly daring one. She took her liberty In. her hands as in? oxecuted the deed. But the dim ness of the cave aided her. When ihe crouched down again the magic paper waa hers. It seemed hours tr. her before the men left the cave. As Bb o heard the bidden door Jar in closing she raised the 114 and stepped out, breathing ieeply. The paper she h?d purloined aaa Indeed blank, but Jones or Jim would know what tt?'d?.wltb it. And -puldn't they be'"Surprised, when she old them what she Rad accomplish ed* all alone? Her exultation wai of hort duration. She heard the whine ?f the door on its hlneea. The men were returning. Why? They were returning becauae they ind discovered a woman's shoeprint wtside.

Farmer' for Novem ber 7 reminds me to ssy that if every fermer In the Sooth hsd had such a drove of porkers, ?cine beef cattle to feed In winer, plenty of peavlne hay. oatstraw, and porn stover and corn and the owners had been really farm ing, the .South would now be able to took complacently on the cotton site uatlon, and every farmer would have had means for living without selling his cotton. Wie have been hammering away at this idea of rotative farming for years, and trtos? who have , adopted U are not in distress, like the one-crop men. The present state of affairs is a hard lesson to the South, but if lt results in better farm in p. lt may, in the end be a blessing Sole depend ence on one crop, and its constant cultivation year after yfar on the same land, la not only a risky thing, bat results in- soil depletion ahd smaller crops. If. through good ro tative farming, the, growing of le gumes, and the feeding oNitnck. every Southern tann han been brought to the making of a baie an acre, one third the land planted in cotton the put' season would nave made just na mach cov.on, and the two-thirds could have *eed making great crops of corn and winter; oats and forage Drop- for stock feeding and manuro makfng.
