The great farm problems of today are many. Good fences and lots of them go a long toward solving the question of bigger profits.

It was a muggy eve- ning that took the luster from her policewoman'’s star and the mili- tary nattiness from her uniform. There was a | smudge of soot on | one of her white gloves. She twirled her club until it struck her | on the crazy bone. l A little farther down the street she splashed into a puddle and An obstinate Overcome with a sense of her un- fitness to ornament the highways, she began to maneuver into the shelter of branch dashed off her helmet and fear- fully mussed her hair, she decided to journey to the next signal-station by way of the alleys. For half a block she trudged down one of these alleys where the black- ness was almost as unrelieved as in a cave. In the dark she quickly be- came agaln what we are accusetomed to describe as “manful.” A falnt noise, something like the snapping of a plece of kindling wood, caught her ear! It was followed by the unmistak- able tinkle of bits of glass dropping on stone. Mamie paused and listened calmly. Five minutes later came some more tinkling of glass and the thump of two heels on the pavement. The po- licewoman pressed a button and the burglar was illuminated as if by a sud- den spotlight. He scarcely needed to be told to throw up his hands. Mamie dexterously acquired his revolver, his tools and a jingling bundle in a canvas bag, Then she marched him on down the alley and out in the glare of an arc light. They were at the edge of a little park. The alarm box, toward which the policewoman was headed, was in a shelter house straight ahead. ‘When they reached the door of it she commanded: | “Step in!” i She followed him, switching on the electric lights. ) | she sighed.

What am I to do? If you were in my place‘,vand knew you had only a few more min- utes of freedom, and you found your- celi alone in the park with a-handsome <oung lady, wouldn’t you improve the shining moment? The answer is ‘Yes!"” The big blue eyes surveyed him hungrily. “Billy!” she cried. just the same— “I wouldn’t “I'm plain as a brick wall. Why, I've never even had | a proposal!” The burglar gasped astonishment. “How the devil could that be? Un-: less you wouldn't let them?” “I'd let them soon enough,” she as- sured him. “Nobody ever wanted to.” The burglar made a fine figure as he drew himself up like a soldier about to salute a superior. But as he tried to straighten his arms the hand- cuffs jingled. The policewoman vol- unteered to take them off. “Don’t!” he protested. “I deserve them, all right. I don't ask unfair favors.” Her embarrassment was extreme, amounting almost to nervousness. “I was about to say,” he continued, “that you're braver and franker and more handsome than any other woman I ever met. And if you've never had a proposal you're about to hear one now. I'm not a crook. You guessed that right enough when you put the hand- cuffs on me. I'm an excitement-crazy adventurer, making a fool of myself on a bet. A lot of women would like to have me. I don’t mind telling you 80. If you'll shut up about this little escapade and let me sneak away, I'll give you my written word of honor that I'll marry you. My name—" Swift and straight the policewom- | an's club descended on his head! He sank forward limp and gasping. Her cheeks burning with indignation, | Mamie turned her back, dashed across | the room and rang in an alarm on the Gamewell box. That done, she knelt on the floor, her eyes brimming with tears, and “Holy mackerel!” the burglar gasped. “A woman cop!
