A BLANK SHEET OT PAPER
Flcronce Sias a fortnight in recov

the fire no doubt because of, her -fear i

the furnishings were so thoroughly
drenehed by iwate rtbat they- jjrere !
practically ruined. Her coming and
going were a nine days' wonjiariaihd j
then the public found something else
to talk about |
Norton was a constant visitor nt the
Hargreave place. There was to'him
a new Interest ? hi 'that mysterious j
house, with its hidden panels, its "false ?
f'.oors, its secret tunnels; but be treat- j
ed Jones upon the same basis as hith
erto. 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?''
"Waa I 'frowning?" innocently
enough. ^
"T find you this way a dozen times
In an uit^rnooh. What ls the-mat
ter? Are thej .after, you again?"
"Heavens aol' I'm on!y a vague Is
sue. They will not bother i??e sb lon?;
os I do not bother them, ii has
dwindled into a game pf truce.".
"Don you'think ?o?" eyeing him
curiously. J, '
"Why, yea."v
"What's the use of'trying to fool
me, Jim? If;,they haven't been after
you, you are sensing-a pressage of
evil. I'm not'a child any lobger.
Haven't I been through enough to
make me a wonman? Sometimes I feel
very old."
"To me you are the most charm
ing in all this wide world. No; you're
not a child (any longer. You are'.a
woman, bravo and patient; and I know
that I could truBt you with any se-'
.cret I have ?pr. own. But sometimes
a person may have a Beeret which is
not his and which he hasn't any right
to disclose." j
She became silent for awhile. "I
bato money," ho countered.
"As In my . case, for instance. . If I
were poor and had to work no one
would bother me," \
"I would!* he declared, laughing, I

Mt. Airy, N. C-Mrs. Siran M. Chap
pell of this town, says: "I suffered for
five years with womanly troubles, also
stomach troubles, and my punishment
was more than any one could tell.

but none did rae any geed.
I read one day about Cardul, thc.wo
man's tonic, and I decided to try lt I
had not taken but about six bottles until
I was almost cured. It did nie more
good than all the other medicines 1 bad
tried, put together.
My. friends began asking rae why I
looked so well,?and 1 tola them about
Cardul. Several nfc now taking it"

They Lad been-gone from the house
less than an hour when a man ran up
the steps-of the veranda and rang the
bell. Jones bein? busy at thc rear of
the house; the maid came to the door.
"Is Miss ^Hargreave in?" th* stran
ger asked. .j
"No/* abruptly!'-.. Tho door began to
close ever so slowly.
"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. Florence and has
no ides, what she looks Uko. Why ?
did you drug my coffee the night of
that ball?"
. "And how much did they pay you
tor letting that doctor send Florence '
to Atlantic City? I know every-- :
thing. Hereafter, walk straight It
you play another trick I'll kill you
with these two hands! And listen and
tell this to your confederates; I al-,
ways know every move they "make;;1
that ls why no one is missing from j
this house. There- is a traitor. Let, i
them find him if they can. Will you
walk straight, or will you leave?" 1
"-I will walk Btrvdght," she falter
ed. "The money was too big a temp- 1
tallon."
"Did they give lt to you?"
"Yea And more to stay here. But1'
this la the first blt of dishonest work 1
I ever did." 1
"Well,, remember what I have said. <
Another misstep and 111 make an,end ?

* "Sh!" whispered Jim.
"What ls it?" I
"Olga Perigoff Is yonder ip a box." j
"Very well; let us go and sit. with ,(

"ApparontlyiSaBut don't you think ]
we'd better go elsewhere?" '
"My dear young man," said Florence
with mock loftiness, "Olga Perigoff ;

ne long enough. Inasmuch aa I am J
the stake they are playing for I in

''All right; you're the admiral," he 1
?aid with pretended lightness.
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. She never could 1
;ell how much ho knew. Bot of <
Florence she was. reasonably certain;- ]
md so long as abe could fool the pr?t- '
y infant the suspicions of the report
er wero of a negligible quantity. She '
greeted them offensively and offered. *
hem chairs. For half an hour they
tat there; chatting inani?es, all the <
vhile'each mind busy with deeper* cou
?erns: .
When the man In Search bf Florence '
wentuallj arrived and csked tho mon- j
iger\ of the garden if Le knew Miss
iargr?ave by sight the manager point- .
id toward the box. The man wound
ila way in and out of the Idlers and .
ry the time he reached the box Jim

quarter of an hour longer and then
left the garden, he would have tak
en the letter to her own apartment
but for the fact that the chemicals
nocded were hiddon ia the cave. ' 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 Florene lt seemed al-J
moat impossible that they did not |
hear the thunder-of her liaartt Strahl,
her esra as she might," she" Tiould
sadler bul little of What they said,
ftxeept:
"If Hargreave had this naper,, wo
?night all be put on the defensive. 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. It pointed toward the cave,
refehly, soto there was nona coming
iway. To reenter-the chest would
ie foolhardy. It. would be the first
?lace the men wr.uld look. She glanc

to keep herself afloat. The golden
head roused something in" him strong

Braine proceeded to move the
launch in the direction cf the girl.
It was this movement that turned the
reportor's gaze. He, too, now saw
the woman in the Water and wonder

Braine reached the girl and pulled

One of the pleasantest surprises
hat has befallen- any person in An

came yesterday to Mrs. J. T. Snow,

happy idea of a mtsueilaawt.* c???vwer

able success by the ladles of tho Cen

probably would have taken her some
time to accumulate.
The ladles brought their cont .ibn

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
That picture on the front page ot

fermer In the Sooth hsd had such a
drove of porkers, ?cine beef cattle to
feed In winer, plenty of peavlne hay.

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

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

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
