Today it is a question of sanity.” “And you want me to assist in sign- ing away the liberty of some person who is perfectly sane?” ; “The nail on the head,” urbanely. “You're a fine scoundrel!” “Not so loud!” warningly. “As loud as I please. I am not:for- ‘getting that you need me. I'm no coward. I recognize that you hold the whip hand. But you can send me to the chair before I'll crawl to you. Now, leave me alone for a while.” The other physician had no such qualms of conscience. He was ready at all times for the generous emolu- ments which accrued from his dealings with the man Braine. ae The Countess Perigoff was indis- posed; so it was quite in the order of things that she should summon phy- sicians. There is a law in the state of New York—just or unjust, whichever you please—that reads that any person may be adjudged insane if the signa- sts Florence and Susan Went Shopping. tures of two registered physicians are affixed to the document. It does not say that these physicians shall have been proved reputable. There were, besides the physicians, a motherly looking woman and a man of benign countenance. Their faces were valuable assets. To gain an- other person's confidence is, perhaps, among the greatest human achieve- A confidence man and woman in the real sense of the word. In your mind's eye you could see this man carrying the contribution plate down the aisle on Sunday mornings, and his wife Kate putting her mite on the plate for the benefit of some poor, un- tidy Hottentot. On Tuesday of the following week Florence and Susan went shopping. The chauffeur was a strong young fel- low whom Jones relied upon. If you pay a man well and hold out fine promises, you generally can trust him. As their car left the corner another followed leisurely. This second auto- mobile contained Thomas Wendt and his wife Kate. The two young women stopped at the great dry goods shop near the public library, and for the time being naturally forgot everything but the marvels which had come from all parts of the world. It is as natural for a woman to buy as it is for a man to sell. In some manner or other Florence became separated from Susan. She hunted through aisle” after: aisle, but could not find her; for the simple rea- son that Susan was hunting for her. It occurred to the girl that Susan might have wisely concluded the best place to wait would be in the taxicab. And so Florence hurried out into the street, into the arms of the Wendt family, who were patiently awaiting her. The trusted chauffeur had been sent around to the side entrance by the major domo. The young lady had so requested, so he said. Florence struggled and. called for the policeman, who came running up, followed by the usual idle, curious crowd. “The poor young woman is insane,” said the motherly Kate, tears in her eyes. The benign Thomas looked at heaven. ‘We are her keepers.” “It is not true!” cried Florence des- Perately. “She has the hallucination that she is the daughter of the millionaire Stanley Hargreave.” And Thomas ex: hibited his document, which was per fectly legal, so far as appearances went. “Hurry up and get her off the walk. T can’t ‘have the crowd growing any larger,” said the policeman, convinced. So, despite her cries and protesta- tions, Florence was hustled into the automobile, even the policeman lend- ing a hand. “Poor young thing!” he said to the crowd. “Come, now, move on. I can’t have the walk blocked up. Get a gait on you.” He was congratulating himself upon the orderliness of the affair when a keen-eyed young man in the garb of a chauffeur touched his shoulder. “What's this I hear about an insane woman?” he demanded. “She was insane, all right. They had papers to prove it. She kept crying that she was Stanley Hargreave's daughter.” “My God!” The young mar struck his forehead-in despair. “You ass, she was Btarey Hargreave's daughter. of section 11 About 200 ‘TERMS:—$1,000 | For fu 240 Acre Farm To be sold at public auction without reserve.

Henry Conquest Clarke, 75. years; old, for many years-a Washington! newspaper correspondent and as a' postal offical, one of the originators of the rural mail delivery service, died at his home in Washington Sun- day after a protracted illness. Because he is said to have sold aj bale of cotton for less than 10 cents a ound, the price fixed throughout jouthern Oklahoma, Joshua Samuels, a cotton grower in Carter county, Oklahoma, was whipped by masked men Sunday. He was called from his home and beaten with a piece of rope soaked in water. William Rogers, a farmer near Flora, Ill., raised two crops of oats on the same field this year. He has , just finished harvesting the second | crop, which yielded about 20 tons of | fine seed. Enough seed was scatter- ed about fron the first harvest to seed the ground again, and when the | fall rains set in they sprouted and | grew. | R. W. Firke, known as the “Illinois | Goose King, shipped 1,800 fat geese , last week. The geese, which were! purchased of Clay county farmers, weighed more than 18, pounds, and the farmers_ received nearly $2,000 for them.

Another encouraging sign also is the fact the production in the Cushing- field, which was-responsible largely for the breaking of the market, is fast ' settling down to a point where it can be handled by the pipe lines. , High T.
