Itis true that with an immeasurably increased production, a lower cost of woollens, trimmings and labor will cause @ reduction of prices, but reaction in these spheres for at least a few years is not in sight. It is very easy under pressure to increase wages, rents, &c., but when the time comes to re+ duce labor, &c., to normal the coun- try will emerge into another state of unrest and strikes will have their Mushroom growth over nighg.

ARKLBSS, soon after his graduation from an Kastern college, was fooled into buying a half-dead newspaper, the Herald, published at Plattville, Ind. He put all his small capital into the purchase, only to find he had been swindled, Instead of accepting failure, Harkless came out to Plattville and proceeded to make the Herald a live paper and a power in the community. Fearlessly he attacked political corruption and ham- mered away at the White Caps who were terrorizing Carlow County. As a result he soon became the most powerful and most popular man in the community—ex- cept with the county’s gew evildoers, Thé White Caps, however, swore to “get” him. Inthe course of his work Harkle: rescued from poverty and drunkenness an old man named Fisbee, who had once been a college professor but who had fallen upon hard days. who was supposedly some relative or connection of old Fisbea She and Harkless met, and Harkless at once fell hopelessly in love with her. He had been bitterly lonely for years at Plattville. Now his desolate heart went out in utter adoration to Helen. Almost at once he told her of his love. But the girl answered frankly that she felt only friendship for him and that she could not care for him in the way he wanted her to. In the “ 29 shock of grief over the rejection Harkless Masked White COR ree tera the night. As he Attempt to Kill Him, waikea unhecding along the country road he was set upon by the White Caps. Harkless put up a flerce fight and tore off the maske from some of his as- sailants’ faces in order to recognize them and to have proof of their indi- vidual guilt, But by sheer force of numbers he was at last overcome, Beaten into insensibility, he was pitched into a box car on a moving freight train. He wae discovered by the police in the first large city at which the train halted Harkless—had assumed charge of the Herald in hig absence.
