The seven of us. crowding Into the elevstor, were lifted to the floor above, wbers I preceded the othere to the door of what we were wont to call Cameron's bedchamber. There I peueed.

"What are you doing there?" I cried, Indignantly. "What were you look? ing for?" Even before be spoke I saw the look of cunning come Into his small, furtive eyee. "I was looking 'or aome papers of mine, Clyde." he answered, boldly, snd ble voice wae so like Cameron's that, for Just a moment, a shuddering uncertainty ssssiled me. Only the crafty leer weighed for tho *ruth. "Papers of yours?" 1 snarled, ignor? ing his familiar use of my name. K\ have the only psper you brought into tnls house. I vm-tld McNlsh, and that's evidence enough to put you where you beyond. Where's Mr. P:ysn?"

Ml told to John Soy on his wav up town In the tnxbab A* I Sjksarstaftd it the other detectives had Informed him that he wii being taken to this house ?o that his chief accuser, who was nigh unto desth, could make an ante mortem Identification. As a matter of fact, of course, the situation was pntc tlcalljr the reverse: We desired Soy to Identify McNlsh, snd McNlsh, under stress of the encounter, to sdmit his own Identity. The Eurasian, however, having been thus misinformed, was at a distinct disadvantage. So, when 1 drew bsck the door, snd he was push? ed forwsrd Into the room. Instead of seeking, he Imagined himself sought, snd with bowed head and eyes on the floor, stood ahrlnkingly 111 at ease. To this misunderstanding Is proba? bly attributable all thst followed. Had' Soy known that McNlsh was regard? ed, equslly with himself, as an ag? gressor, he might hsve controlled his outbresk snd permitted the law to wreak Its tsrdy Justice. But Soy did not know, snd the tide of events met sudden change. It is, indeed, scarcely conceivable, how rapidly It was all enacted. For Just a moment the weazened figure stood still, while behind him crowded the rest of us?the three detectives, the two Cblnsmen and myself. I ssw McNlsh struggle for an in? stant to maintain his pose of Indiffer? ence, and then I saw his cheeks blanch, and bis little eyes widen In craven terror as be recognized the shabby, silent thing before him. His Hps parted, bis bared teeth clicked together, and his bands, like talons, clutched tensely his chair arras. In that strained moment the room was strangely hushed. I know I scarcely breathed, as nervously In-! tent I wstched those two miserable creatures; the one keenly conscious, the other blind to everything save the rug pattern at his feet. Then, like a flash, Soy stole a glance at his supposed accuser, and I saw him quiver Into steel. It was as though an electric bolt had shot through his shrinking frame and limp limbs. He seemed to grow out of him? self, to rise Inches taller, towering with stiffened neck and lifted head. To deacrlbe with any degree of ac? curacy what ensued, I cannot. I know only that McNlsh rose cum brously to his feet, only to fall back again beneath the pouncing spring of the Eurasian. Then followed ? pistol shot, muffled, yet soundlug lethally loud against the grim silence of the chamber; and, as with one accord we leaped forward, I saw Soy roll over In a spaam of contortlona, and McNlsh, thua freed from his gripping hold, rsise sn arm and fire again, with the pistol pressed to his own temple, Just as Bryan, who had been nearest to them, bravely made a grab for the weapon. CHAPTER XXVI. His 8lstsr Confessor. The desth of McNlsh was Instan? taneous. Soy, with a bullet in bis ab? domen, lingered for three days. Dur? ing that time Miss Clement became his sister contessor, snd so there drifted ,nto our possession a host of facts which otherwise we might never bsve learned Strange, uncanny crea? ture that be was, he seemed to re? pose the utmost confidence in the grsy, sweet-faced missionary, and fair? ly unburdened his sin-charged soul to her. Those of his fellow conspirators that she promised to protect, she pro? tected. Those that be believed to have played him false, she protected likewise. Her religion was one In which personal Justice bss no dwell? ing. "Vengeance Is mine, I will re? pay." her Lord bsd admonished, snd to him she wss content to resign the 1 problem of retribution. Hsd I been more familiar with the ! Csmeron town house and the town habits of Its master, Justice probably would not have been tricked out of having ber way with two as lawless wretches as ever infested a commu? nity. I should have known then that one of the drawers of that quaint old rosewood secretary was the hiding plsce of a SS-caliber Colt, snd In all likelihood have had It removed before McNlsh was capable of searching for It. As It was, Mr. Bryan took no lit? tle blame upon himself for not hav? ing been the first to discover It, though to ray mind he could hardly be regarded as recreant In falling to Investigate a piece of furniture of so intimate a character. The notoriety consequent upon the murder and suicide was hideously In? ordinate. Inspired and stimulated by the sensational press, which did not hesitate to Imply what it dared not state openly, the currency of false? hood snd misconception at one period came close to being disastrous. Ar I had foreseen, the resemblance of Mc? Nlsh to Cameron, coupled with the seemingly convincing fact that the tragedy had occurred In the Cameron town house, where the millionaire was supposed to be convalescent, gave excuse for persistent iteration of a rumor that, in order to preserve the fume of a man regarded as above reproach and at the same timo to pro? tect the line of securities In which he had been Interested, tho story of a confusing likeness had been Invented. No paper in the land wo'Jd havo had tlw temerity to print this as a fact, but again and again?silly and Impos? sible as it must have appeared to all thinking persons?it was promulgated by Innuendo and embodied lo more or lens b/eaklj worded denials. Ah a result Crystal Consolidated suf? fered, Bondl and stocks alike sloughed fraction afttf fraction and point after point And our mouths wero MOOS' warily cloosd upon tho truth, sinr?e that, if possible, would have been even store damaging; for while we still hoped, we could give no positive gs> sarance ihal Cam< ran wan y#t alive. Strangely enough, though the whole wretched com pi I >atlon had been rake reportorlally with n One-tooth comb, the kidnapping rrom the yacht had not yet been so much as hinted at, but I lived, dally, in mortal dread that It would be brought to light at the next Journalistic hand-sweep. Accurate in? formation as to Cameron's present whereabouts was the news now most eagerly sought not alone by the press but by Wall street as well; our failure to supply It?though excused by us on the ground that in his present nerv? ous condition, it was Imperatively nec? essary to keep him sequestered from interviewers?was not unnaturally arousing a suspicion that we did not possess it to supply. If, under the strain of the tragedy and the brutal publicity which fol? lowed upon it, Evelyn Grayson had not eventually succumbed she must have been more than human. Bravely she had borne up against a whelming suc? cession of nerve-wrenching experi? ences, refusing to entertain fear and fighting valiantly against discourage? ment, but heart and nerves have their limit of endurance; and when, on th<? third day, John Soy was gathered to his yellow and white fathers, and a more yellow than white evening Jour* nal ventured, more boldly than had been dared hitherto, to make the im? plication to which I have referred, Evelyn collapsed utterly. As chance would have It, I myself came upon her, lying white, limp, and unconscious on the library floor, with the paper still loosely held In her right hand. The sound of her fall had carried to me faintly as I neared the closed door, and a misgiving born of intuition rather than of any more defi? nite cause had hastened my steps. Having lifted her to a couch and rung for her maid I at once set about doing what I could to restore her to consciousness. But her plight was no ordinary momentary faintness. Stub? bornly she refused to respond to my efforts, and those of the maid when, after hours it seemed, she came, were equally unavailing. Alarmed, I called up Dr. Massey, only to learn that he had gore to Bos? ton for a consultation, and that Dr. Thome, his assistant, was opiating at Roosevelt Hospital. For a moment, distressed and anxious, the names of other physicians eluded me. In de? spair, I opened the Telephone Direc-1 tory, In hope of a suggestion, and the 1 name of Addison leaped at me from the page. To my Infinite relief he was In his office; his electric was at the door, and he would be over at once. And it was not until ten minutes later, when he came hurriedly into the room, that I remembered. The name, when I saw it, had at once struck me as familiar. I seemed to know, even, that it belonged to a physician of reputed high standing, yet it was only at the Instant of his entrance, when his penetrating steel-gray eyes drilled Into mine, that I associated it with the man to whom I bad gone, not for any ailment, but to learn whether my friend, In spite of his denials, had ever been In China. (TO HE CONTINUED) SKIRTS RARE AT HAL MASQUE. Philadelphia Agog Over The Event of Social Season's Wind-up. Philadelphia, Feb. 5.? Philadel? phia is agog today over the women's costumes worn Monday night at the Bal Masque, the wind-up of the social Season, The skirts were much shorter and the blouses much lower than ever before. Skirts were discarded by nearly all ti?? feminine guests, who wore baggy bloomers or the full trousers of the Orient, while some were attired in regular "knickers." Pierrettes were missing, but there were any number of maids and matrons In Pierot attire and the still more familiar yama yama one-piece garment. In the ballroom were girls garbed as "Night" and damsels arrayed as "Morning.* Kvery musical comedy and light opera that has made a repu? tation In the last 12 months had its COtlere of imitators. Miss Gabriela Tilghman was dis? guised as a Turkish beauty and her blue bloomers were embroidered in red and a red jacket was worn over the lace blouse. There was even a "grass widow" In the throng, wly> proved to be Miss Leanore Winifred Dorrance. The costume was of grass green crepe de chine, fashioned with rather a short skirt slashed to look like blades of grass. One costume consisted of trousers and a long jacket, while over the head, completely disguising the wear? er, was a bright yellow satin scarf. Another beauty ol the Turkish type was Mrs. John P. Hollingsworth. The white satin trousers were gold trim? med, Mrs, William Coleman freeman and Miss Susan Lyrah Hrice were costum? ed alike, representing liusslan soldiers.

FEEDING HOGS ON PEANUTS. C. W. McLendon of Blshopvllle Has Tried This and Has Found It Profit? able. Blshopvllle, Feh. 4.?Anything that will take the place of corn as a feed and not only take its place but do , the work better and Cheaper Will tend j to conserve the corn crop and will therefore leave the corn crop to go further and hence be equivalent to the making of more corn. This being taken for granted the experience of C. W, McLendon in planting peanuts as a hog food will be of interest at this time. Mr. Mc? Lendon, in addition to what will be set forth below, is also some chicken raiser, as the accounts of awarding of prizes at the poultry show last Week will testify. Mr. McLendon this year planted no cotton on two-horse farm but plant? ed grain exclusively in 14 acres of his corn which was planted in six foot rows nine inches in the-drill and made an average yield of 40 bushels to the acre and one ton of hay to the acre; he planted Spanish peanuts in the middle of the row and about August 15 started pasturing this Held for hogs. Starting with 93 has fed no corn since that time up to this writ? ing, with the exception of feeding the hogs selected for killing for about 15 days before killing on corn to make the llesh and lard solid. He now he on this same field 73 hogs and pigs which are all in tine condition. It Is his opinion that the hay pro? duced by the adding of peanuts vine to the peavine hay makes it much bet? ter as a food for cattle and stock. Mr, McLendon made the above corn, peanuts and peavine hay with only 150 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre and no other fertilizer. He has sold off enough meat and corn to show a profit on the field and still has above 73 hogs living and kept in good con? dition by grazing on this peanut corn patch exclusively, with the larger part of the corn and fodder in hi* barns BRYAN TO SERVE ON COMMIT TEE, Grout Commoner (.lad to Accept In? vitation to Serve on the Reception Committee. Washington, Feb. 5.?William Jen? nings Bryan, probably One next sec? retary of State, is going to give him? self a tri at at inauguration time. From Miami, Fla., he wrote to Walter W. Vlck, secretary of the inaugural committee, that he will be here with bells on.I His letter says: "I am ex? pecting to give myself tbe pleasure of attending the inauguration, and shall be pleased to serve as a member of the reception committee." Mr. Bryan is said to have been as "tickled" with I the appointment to the reception committee as a child with a new toy. He will probably be in the special section of the committee, which is expected to meet the president-elect upon his arrival here the afternoon Of March 3. The Kentucky colonels will be one of the big features of the inaugural parade. Nearly every other resident of Kentucky is a colonel, so a great big delegation is promised. They will join with the Mose Green club of Louisville, Ky., to make the group one of the most picturesques in the pa? geant. The names of others to serve with Mr. Bryan will be announced in a day or two. Would Change Marriage License Law.

Menace to Agriculture Is Fad Thai Country-bred Boys i><> Sot stick to Farm Life. l heard a man say awhile ago that he had made a cart ful investigation of the men who had achieved success In a large Southern City, and that ninety per cent of them had been bred on farms. To him it was a matter of pride and gratification, but I will confess frankly that the Statement shocked and saddened me. I knew in a gen? eral way that our cities were absorbing too many country boys, but the thought that the brains, energy and power of a great city had been achiev? ed at the expense of the farms was startling. In it, 1 saw one of the main reasons why farming was falling into decay, and farm lands were in alien hands. We hear and read a vast deal these days about conservation, but to my mind the most vital things in America today is the conservation of our young men on the soil. It is old and trite to say that a nation's prosperity is measured by its agriculture, but it is profoundly true nevertheless. There are a thousand issues over which our statesmen concern them? selves and with which they whip the people into frenzies of political fervor. But they are not striking at the heart and soul of the most vital problem of the day. These questions are largely political, while the greatest economic issue of this century is to create such conditions and to so educate our boys as to make them love, prosper on and stick to ur farms. When statesmen big enough and broad enough fill our lawmaking halls to sense this fact and seek the rem? edy, then we shall have a new era. Here are just a few random facts tending to show our farms have been and are being drained of its best blood. Sixty-six per cent of the tillers of the soil in the United States are non-landowners. In Georgia only 34 per cent of the farmers own the land which they till; in Alabama and South Carolina 37 per cent, while in other Southern States conditions are as serious. Sim? ilar conditions probably prevail na tion-wide. This farm ownership by those who do not cultivate the land is becoming one of the gravest prob? lems of the day, and I believe much of it is due to the boys leaving the farm for the city. This alien land owner? ship must be serious when Mississippi finds it expedient to pass a law regu? lating it. We must face this problem and find the remedy, unless this movement away from the soil is checked our na? tural prosperity and greatness is sure to crumble. Agricultural schools, ru? ral delivery, rural telephones, wider and more general dissemination of in? formation on improved farming and now the parcels post are helpful fac? tors and beacon lights along the way, but much more is to be done to ac? complish real results. Much depends on the farmer?fa? ther. They must treat their boys right; teach him how to love the farm and let him share in the profits of his toil. The Boys' Corn Clubs have demon? strated very cleverly what they can and will do if offered the right stim? ulus, the hope of reward. Closer and better community interest and inter? course, accurate knowledge of the soil and the things that best grow on it? all these form part at least, of a gen? eral upward movement for the future farmers of this country. Are we to have conditions here in the South and in the West as one may lind them in many of the New England States -miles of abandoned farms and houses vacant and falling into decay? I fear SO unless we can check the flow of boys from the farms to the cities. In the South particularly, where the negro farm help is even more pro? nounced in its tendency to leave the country and congest in the cities, the farmer must learn how to hold his boys, or go to smash. i am not an alarmist?normally and naturally I am an optimist and be? lieve most men are struggling toward the light and Letter conditions. But I would be foolish to blind myself to the conditions outlined, and which any observant man may see. Good schools ami broader educational ad? vantages will go far as a remedy. Tins is a real ami great problem of the day as I see it. Unless it is solved we shall Inevitably decay and vanish as tin mosl powerful union on earth. C S Barrett i 'nlon i 'Ity, < la., Feb. 5. \??

GIRLS' DEMONSTRATION WORK. The Tomato Club? ami Fkisnrtlilng Ahorn their Organisation and Work ?Help from Agent. Tb?* Farmers* Co-operative Demon? stration work of the United States Department of Agriculture would be Incomplete unleoi some work for the girls was inaugurated and organized. When l>r. S. A. Knapp, the founder Of th.- demonstration work, started the active organization of the Hoys' Corn Clubs, he said that it would be necessary to start the girls just as soon as the boys' demonstrations had become well advanced. Consequently, in 1910, when the demand had be? come great enough to indicate suffi? cient interest, a limited amount of or? ganization was undertaken. Girls' clubs were organized in South Caro? lina and Virginia. In that year 321? girls were enrolled. . It was decided that one-tenth of an acre would be enough for a good garden, and that the clubs would specialize in the beginning, on to? matoes just as the boys had done with corn. In 1911 more than three thousand girls, representing eight dif? ferent States, joined the clubs and planted their gardens. Many of them put up more than five hundred quart cans of tomatoes from their crops, be? sides catsup, pickles, chow-chow, pre? serves and other products. A few got one thousand cans each and clear? ed $100, besides prizes warn. In 1912 one girl in South Carolina cleared $132.67 on one-tenth of an acre of tomatoes. During the planCng and growing season your county agent will give in? structions in regard to cold frames, hot beds, transplanting, staking, prun? ing, and other matters of great inter? est. During the coming season she will hold instruction meetings and give canning demonstrations in dif? ferent parts of the county. She will give the girls information in regard to best prices on canning outfits, labels cans, and other supplies. The agent will be glad to do all she can to help club members find good markets for^ all high-class products which they desire to sell. The objects of the Girls' Demonstra? tion work are: 1. To stimulate interest and whole? some co-operation among members of the family in the home, 2. To provide some means by which the girls may earn money in the home and at the same time get the educa? tion and view point necessary for the ideal farm life. 3. To encourage rural families to provide purer and better food at a lower cost and to utilize the surplus ' and otherwise waste products of the garden and orchard. I 4. To furnish earnest teachers a plan for aiding their pupils and help? ing their communities. Each club should pdopt the follow- _ ing general regulations and by-laws: 1. Girls joining clubs must be be? tween 10 and 18 years of age.' Special classes may be organized for older girls. 2. No girl shall be eligible to re? ceive a prize unless she becomes a-^ member or 'he club and plants a gar? den con'ainirg one-tenth of an acre. 3. The members of the clubs must agree to study the instructions of the United States Department of Ag? riculture. 4. Each girl must plan her own crop and do her own work. It will * be permi8sable to hire heavy work, done but the time must be charged. Many girls should join these clubs and put forth their best efforts to learn and to become skillful. It is a good thing to know abiout soil, plants, and nature. Why can't the very flour- , ishing of the plant be made by teach? ing them the scientific and intensive methods of bringing a living thing from the earth, as cultural in its ef? fect upon the mind of the girl as the study of Latin and Greek gods is sup? posed to be on the mind of the clas- * aical student?
