THE RICHMOND PLANET CONVICTED MEN ARE ALL INNOCENT Smith, In Confession, Says His Testimony Was False, Alexandria, Va., January 12.—Henry Smith, colored, convicted along with Richard Pines, Calvin Johnson and Eugene Dorssey, of the murder of Walter P. Schultz, near Alexandria, last March, confessed this morning to Crandal Mackey, Commonwealth's attorney for Alexandra county, that Johnson, Dorssey and Pines were all innocent of the crime. He said that he, upon whose testimony they had been convicted, had brought-them into the case merely to save himself. He insisted that he, too, was innocent. He had no thought of saving himself in making this confession, he declared, but did not wish to face his Maker until he had done all in his power to save these innocent men who had been brought into the shadow of death by his statements. Stalling his cell at the county courthouse this morning, with knees bowed almost to the tooo and with arms raised to heaven. Smith called upon God to witness that the three men were not guilty. APPEAL TO BE MADE TO GOVERNOR. Crandal Mackey was later to a reporter that he intended to write to the Governor of the State and ask that the Governor himself listen to the confession of Smith. Mr. Mackey said he had been asked to listen to Smith's confession by Harry Cracks, jailer for Alexandra county, to whom Smith had also his story. From the beginning to the end of the confession, Mr. Mackey said, Smith understood how to show that he had been led into turning State's evidence by the police. Smith told Mr. Mackey that he had no knowledge of the details of the murder of Schultz or of Schultz himself until he learned them from the police. Smith said he had been born, and reared in Richmond; that he had never been farther from Richmond than Washington. When he was fourteen years old he stole a diamond ring and served a sentence for the crime in the penitentiary. There he learned the trade of an uphoisterer. Later he settled in Richmond and worked at this trade. SAYS POLICE TOLD HIM DETAILS "After the murder of Schultz I had no idea that I was connected with the crime, or even suspected. I knew nothing of Schultz, and had never seen him. The police, especially Captain Goods and Policeman Simpson, taught me the details of the crime. "A lady had given me household goods to sell for her. I had sold them, but had kept back the money. Her attorney threatened me with arrest if I did not make good. "I learned that inquiries were being made for me. Thinking it was for this trouble, and that I might be locked up before I could attend to certain matters, I left my home in Alexandria at night. "I walked into the police station later, thinking I was wanted for the monkey matter, and not knowing anything about the Schultz murder. I was told to go on back to a cell, and did so. I was kept there from Friday until Sunday morning without food. "The police thought they could get me to tell about the murder of Schultz. They told me about the murder, and said first, that I was accused of having murdered a Chicago man." NET DRAWN ABOUT HIM "I was glad, for I knew I had never been to Chicago, and could prove it. But I had told people I learned the upholstery trade from a Chicago firm, so they would not know I had learned it in the penitentiary. So they afterwards connected me with Chicago. "The police told me that a mob was coming to lynch me. All Saturday and Sunday night I was in fear of my life. Sunday I was offered food, but refused, asking what was the use of eating if the mob was going to kill me. "The police first suggested to me that Pines and Dorsey had something to do with the murder. They told me they were sure these men were guilty. "The net was closing in on me. I decided that if I was to save myself from the chain of circumstantial evidence I must say that Pines and Dorsey had been guilty. "Later I brought Johnson into the crime to still further strengthen the story. I knew nothing about Johnson, except that he sold cocaine." SAYS POLICE GAVE HIM HOPE Mr. Mackey asked Smith if the police had promised him immunity if he turned State's evidence. Smith replied that he had been told: "You need not fear if you tell everything you know about what Pines and Dorsey and Johnson did." Smith said that the police had taught him how to tell the story of the crime by letting fall bits of information which he made use of in giving his account of the murder. A similar confession, which Smith made to the Alexandria police within the last few days, and which has not been made public before was given out this morning. In his confession he accuses Chief Goods, or the police force, and Policeman John F. Sampson of assisting him, and said that the first story which convicted the men was made by Chief Goods, Policeman Sampson and himself. "I am innocent of the crime," he said. "I was forced to say what I have, and perjured myself so that Chief Goods might make a record in discovering the criminals." As the result of this second confession the three negroes convicted of the murder and sentenced to be electrocuted Friday next will not meet death on that day. Governor Swanson has respited them for sixty days. CONFESSION MADE TO POLICE Smith said in his confession to the police: "I desire to state that the confession made by me at the three trials of Calvin Johnson, Richard Pines and Eugene Dorsey was false and untrue. If they had anything to do with the murder of Schultz I know about nothing about it. "I had always intended to deny this confession and I been acquitted. This was the reason I wanted the judge to sentence me at once so I could tell the truth before Johnson, Pines and Dorsey were executed. "During all of the trials Chief Goods sat behind Mr. Brent and gave me the signs when Mr. Machen answered me questions whether I should answer or not; this by him winking his eyes. "Mr. Sampson handled me all during the trials, and stood by my chair all the time and whispered what I should say." LIE, SAYS CHIEF GOODS Chief Goods, when seen by a reporter, who read to him Smith's confession, branded it as a deliberate and infamous lie. He was greatly surprised that Smith had told such a story. On representations from Attorney Lewis H. Hachen and Judge Barley as to the nature of Smith's confession Governor Swanson yesterday respited the three Alexandria negroes from January 14 to March 18, by which Governor-elect Mann will be in office. If Smith's application stands the tests, application will be made to Governor Mann for a full pardon shortly after his accession. Rev. Dr. Lewis Gets More Money. The Second Baptist Church has raised the salaries of its officers an it is reported that Rev. D. Lewis $150,000 per month or $1,800 per year. Rev. O. P. Thompson, of Newark N.

S.—One of these days the sporting world will prefix the title "Champion Kidder" to the name of Jack Johnson, for, if a fighter ever took keen delight in worrying an opponent with tongue and gesture, it is that same Lil Artha. It is almost a gold mine to brass tacks that Johnson never saw the lines. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad," which the poet Longfellow borrowed from Cicero, but he exemplifies them in about every bout in which he engages—presumably an acquirement of ring experience rather than book learning. Take Jack's recent fight with Ketchel, for instance. While the middleweight champion, as he calls himself, was game to the core, Johnson golden smile," and his ever-so-rattled repatriate got poor Stan so rattled that he clearly knew what he was doing. He clearly forgot all about his famous shifts, and the instructions from his corner that he was not to rush, the champion. Time and again, in response to the tannets of Johnson, Ketchel tore in like a wild steer only to receive the shower of straight lefts in the face the champion had in realiness for him. Stan's blind swings, several of which nearly took him through the ropes, served to add to Johnson's merriment and the further disconfirmation of his undersized opponent. AL KAUFMAN SLOW Then again, there's that matinee Johnson had with Al Kaufman. Al is as good natured as a cow chewing her cud, but though big and strong, he is also as slow as a heavily loured freight. Or this Johnson was well aware. He knew Al like a well-thumbed book and the verbal knocks he handed the big German about "slow freights," "cold molasses" and "slow turtles" were particularly raw. They had the desired effect, and of course Kaufman finally got rattled; well. Johnson won and that easily. As to that affair down at Sydney with Tommy Burns, it won't soon be forgotten. A lot of people got an awful jar; were kind of shook down a bit along with Tommy, for they thought the Canadian was going to win. As every one knows Tommy never had a chance—he was out punched and outgenerated to the queen's taste. Johnson had on his enamel leather "kiddin'" shoes when he entered the ring and before the end of the first round had the then champion so riled that he hardly knew what he was doing. "I am going to put you out, you pup," was Johnson's opening shot, and there was no humor back of it, either. "I had to chase you around the world, but now I've got you." "Who ever told you that you could fight?" The vicious shafts or the negro all bore fruit. Remember how Tommy walked into those right-hand upper cuts; what a target he was when Johnson really tried to hit him? Tommy in his blind rage allowed himself to be coaxed into range time and time again of blows which he might have otherwise escaped or guarded against. WHEN PAPKE WON Let's go back to that day in September, 1908, when Stanley Ketchel received a fearful whipping at the hands of Bill Papke and temporarily lost the crown of middleweight champion, which he has of late refused to defend. Like Johnson, Papke fully comprehends the advantages of the talk game, and the breeze he sent to the champion on that day contributed its share toward his defeat. The "Thunderbolt," as Billy is known, had a special brand of talkfest prepared for the occasion, sort of a reservoir of adjectives he had been storing up since that day earlier in the same year, when Ketchel had put one over. This, their second meeting, lasted twelve rounds. Stan taking the full count on his back. During the 36 minutes of actual combat, Papke's fists but beat time for his tongue. The lashing he gave the cowboy-miner from Montana had the latter sky high for fully half the distance. But it was a great lesson for Stan, and while Boston holds that the so-called middleweight champion is scared half out of his wits every time he hears Langford has boarded a railroad train for parts unknown, he wasn't scared to meet Papke again and what's more, won back his title. This last time Ketch just closed his ears, opened his eyes, and waded in from the rub-knuckles, never giving Papke time or opportunity for any conversational warfare. CORBETT AND McGOVERN There are certain fights and fastic happenings that will always bear retelling; I am going back to that Young Corbett vs. Terry Mgovern affair at Hartford, Conn., in 1901, a famous instance wherein talk won a fight. Terry was one of the most excitable chaps that ever entered a ring, having more than an abundance of the quick temper and ready wilt that tradition attaches to the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle. Young Corbett, you may well believe, was fully "heep" to this state or affairs and studied out a program of abuse previous to the battle that he well knew would hit the fiery Terry in a most vulnerable spot. What Corbett actually said may well be left unsaid, but it is history that from the first bell he turned loose a torrent of torrid adjectives, vitellic quips, and hits that aroused McGovern to a pitch of fury as never before. In a twinkling, from one of the most formidable guantes of his duty, he became practically help and in the short space of two rounds was a beaten man, all due to the Denver boy's talk. Corbett's gift of gab more than his boss won that fight. (Continued on either page.) Property Owners Nearby Seek to Prevent Its Use by Colored Congregation. Richmond, Va., January 11.—On behalf of a large number of property owners on Clay Street, James L. Shelton yesterday appeared before Judge Ernest H. Wells in the Chancery Court, asking an injunction to prevent the further use of the Friends' Meeting House, on Clay Street, by a new colored congregation which has recently split from one of the colored Baptist churches. Judge Wells heard a partial statement of the case, and continued the application for the filing of affidavits to substantiate the allegations made by both sides. In his application, Attorney Shelton set forth in some detail that the church on Clay Street, seven First and Fousser, had been owned and occupied by a Quaker congregation and known as the Friends' Meeting House since November 15, 1865. Recently the Quaker congregation disbanded, few of the original members remaining. Last year, with view of selling the property and winding up the affairs of the Little congregation, Judge R. Carter Scott in the 'City Circuit Court named as trustees W. A. Ricks, James G. Whitlock and J. Hoge Ricks. BOUGHT FOR INVESTMENT On October 15, 1909, sale was made by the trustees to W. P. Arwood, a member of the real estate firm of Edward S. Rose & Co. The application alleges that Arwood stated at the time of the purchase that he had bought the property for the purpose of tearing down the church and erecting two dwellings as an investment. The petitioners state in their application for a restraining order that they "had no dream or an idea that any white man could be found in the city of Richmond who would be willing to foil upon the neighborhood a body of regroes." Believing that Arwood was sincere in his statement of having bought the property to convert into real dwellings, the neighbors made no complaint and no effort to prevent the sale, believing that their social and property interests were fully protected. The petition goes on to state that the neighbors have now been informed and believe and charge that Arwood really purchased "with the express intention of immediately selling to a certain negro congregation known as the New Baptist Church," being a body of negroes which split off from the Fifth Street Baptist Church, colored, recently, following the dismissal of Rev. Alexander E. Edwards, the latter being for a time the leader of the new church. CROWDS BLOCK SIDEWALK On the third Sunday of November, the colored congregation took possession of the meeting house, and has since been holding services twice each Sunday, with crowds which far exceed the capacity of the building and which have blocked the sidewalk in front. So far has the overcrowd been noticeable that Building Inspection Been forced to interfere and insist that certain supports being installed under the main floor with changes in the exits It does not appear as a matter of record that any transfer of the property has been made from Arwood to the colored congregation, and it is that transfer that the neighbors seek to prevent, claiming that it would be seriously detrimental to their social and property interests, and greatly alter the character of the neighborhood as a residential section. Judge Wells took the paper under advisement, and directed that affidavits in support of the various contensions be filed in writing. The petitioners are: H. O. Tiller, C. G. Yates, P. Coleman, J. H. Chappell, P. B. Hatcher, E. M. Redford, H. C. G. Rattell, G. Gary J. M. Hulcher, A. Cauthon, J. W. Smith, J. H. Wade, W. O. Day, H. G. Heeke, R. Franclone, J. Weinstein, M. Goshen and J. L. Lindasy; and N. V. Coleman, Wilson N. Hugs and R. E. Tiller as trustees of the Clay Street Methodist Church. Charles White Sentenced Yesterday to Four Years in Penitentiary. Richmond, Va., January 11.—With three police officers testifying against him and three three sitting in his benign, Charles White, the noorious Seventeenth Street negro, and the man who by his own acknowledgement was the first to introduce the illegal trafic of cocaine into Richmond many years ago, was convicted in the Hustings Court yesterday of the charge of having cocaine in his possession, and was sentenced to four years in the State Penitentiary. Gilbert K. Pollock, his attorney, made a hard fight for the negro, and at times it looked as if acquittal was in sight. But the prosecution was bolstered up with evidence that could not be undermined despite the fact that three officers—Detective Sergeant Wiltshire and Policeman Smith and B. H. Werner—went to the witness stand for the defense. Immediately after the reading of the verdict to the trembling "King of Cocaine," Mr. Pollock moved to set aside the verdict as contrary to the law and evidence, and made a motion in arrest of judgment, which motion the court continued until a later date in this term. HAD ALL DAY TRIAL The trial lasted all day, and the verdict was rendered just before 7 o'clock. Both Mr. Pollock and Commonwealth's Attorney Folkes argued at length. The defense based its case on the theory that Eddie Fields, the negro who purchased cocaine from White and who was one of the black alliances for the prosecution, had concocted a plot to "throw" White because the accused had given information to the detectives which led to the arrest of Sarah Cousins, the alleged consort of Fields, the Cousins woman afterwards being convicted of a wholesale jewelry robbery in New York. The prosecution showed that the arrest of White and the plan for his capture was due only to the work of a detective department through a white man named Armstrong. Armstrong purchased the cocaine through Fields, giving the man a dollar, the latter not knowing that he was to be a party to the detective's plan. Armstrong furnished the detective's department with the first information, and made an oner to Captain McMahon that he would "throw" White for him. DETECTIVE CAUGHT TWO Captain McMabon then detailed Sergeant Wiley, Wren and Baller on the case, and late one night the three men arrested both White and Fields, holding the latter as a witness against the former. It was on their evidence, coupled with that of Fields, that White was convicted. In their evidence the other three officers helped to sustain the theory that White was given up to the police through the machinations or Fields. Efforts were made to destroy Field's character, and Mr. Pollock introduced several witnesses who sware that Fields had made threats that he would throw White because the latter had thrown Sarah Cousins. One of these witnesses was very amusing. He was brought up from jail to testify. He admitted that he had spent several terms in various city and county jails. He is now serving time in the Richmond Jail. "What for?" inquired Mr. Folkes. "Dey 'cused me of stealin' chickens." he replied, and everybody laughed. "What did you go to the penitentiary for?" again inquired Mr. Folkes. "I dunno zackly," he said. "But I think it was somethin' like lossy." Another witness said that he had gone to jail for "fightin', shootin' and gettin' drunk." It was a fine array of jail birds. AFTER HIM FOR YEARS Fields, when placed on the stand, denied all the accusations brought against him in toto, and declared that he had never known the Cousins woman. Most of the other evidence was in controversy of that / brought out by the defense, though the latter was very strong. White is fifty-two years old. The police have been trying for years to catch him in the cocaine traffic, and he has often been arrested, but always without conviction following. The conviction yesterday is regarded as a great triumph for the detectives and it is believed that with White safely locked away, there will be a great reduction in the cocaine traffic. While the jury was considering its verdict the negro made the statement that he was the first man to introduce cocaine into Richmond, though he declared that he had given up the traffic since it had been made a penal offense. He is much broken and was nervous and excited throughout the trial. — Times-Dispatch. Valuable Hints to Reduce Winter Half a dozen blankets are not necessary to keep warm, nor are thickly piled quilts essential to keep out these chilly January blasts. The great American newspaper will do almost as well. At least, such is the view of a prominent Health Worker in a statement given a reporter today. "It is of course highly desirable," he stated, "to have ample covering of blankets and quilts on cold nights; but where these cannot be had a few simple makeshifts will greatly reduce the amount of suffering. If newspapers are spread between blankets, they will keep the sleeper as warm as several additional blankets. If heavy newspapers, or folds of wrapping paper, are placed under the mattress, next the springs, they will prevent the chill from below and greatly increase the comfort of the bed. This is especially important since many persons, sleeping on single mattresses, overlook the fact that as much cold air comes through the mattress as through the covering. In the same way, persons riding for long distances in the country will find paper a great protection against cold. If a newspaper is folded under the coat across the chest and another across the back, they will effectually protect a person from cold.

Census Director Durand issued today a letter of instructions to supervisors of census throughout the country, approved by Secretary Nagel of the Department or Commerce and Labor, defining the conditions relative to the employment of negroes as census enumerators. They are directed to select negroes, so far as competent ones are available, to count the negroes in those enumeration districts in which two-fifths or more of the population consists of negroes. He does not consider it desirable that in the South negroes should enumerate white families and he informs the supervisors that it will be necessary in many enumeration districts to appoint both a white and a negro enumerator. The Director's letter to the supervisors is as follows: "SHR. It is exceedingly important to the interests of the people of the United States and particularly to the people of the Southern States that the coming census should give complete and accurate information with regard to the negro race. It is probable that the census will show approximately 10,000,000 or that race in the United States. In large districts in the South, negroes constitute more than half of the population; in fact, in many of the enumeration districts established by the Census Bureau, they will constitute from 75 per cent to nearly 100 per cent of the population. "Negroes can doubtless obtain the information required by the census from members of their own race more accurately than white enumerators. In various of the southern cities the Boards of Education regularly employ negro enumerators to take the school census of the negro population. This is true, for example, in Montgomery, Alabama, and in Savannah, Georgia. This practice shows that the white men or the South themselves recognize the desirability of employing negroes to do work of this character among their own race. "You are therefore hereby directed to select negroes as enumerators of the negro population, so far as competent negroes offer themselves for the position, in those enumeration districts in which a large proportion of the population, say two-fifths or more, consists of negroes. "On the other hand, I do not consider it desirable that in the South negroes appointed as enumerators should be authorized to enumerate white families. It is certain that in many, if not most, parts of the South negro enumerators would not be able to obtain as accurate statistics regarding the white population as white enumerators could. It will therefore be necessary in many enumeration districts to appoint both a white enumerator and a color enumerator in order that the entire population may be properly enumerated. "It is understood, or course, that all applicants for the position enumerator, whether white or colored, should be subjected to such tests regarding their efficiency as may be prescribed, in order that only competent persons may be employed." Contractor Farrar's Narrow Escape Contractor D. J. Farrar had a narrow escape last Tuesday while assisting his men in laying joists on the third story of the Mechanics' Savings Bank building. In helping them, he stepped upon the end of a plank, which snapped like a pipe-stem under its weight. He fell to the planks below, which fortunately for him had been held there. Had he fallen on the north side of the building, he would have gone through and fallen three stories. As it was except for a blown on the head, he was not much injured.

Subscribe to the PLANET * The The CHAPTER XVIL MORE TANGLES. HILLARD passed the card to Merrilhew who presented it to Kitty Smith had already seen it. He waved it inside moodily. La Signorina's eyes roved as in an effort to find some way out. "It's a pretty kettle of fish," said O'Mally, rather pleased secretly to having created so dramatic a moment. "There's nothing for us to do but to clear out, bag and baggage." Then La Signorina rose to her feet. She took the card from Kitty's fingers, store it into many pieces and fung them over the wall. "We have been betrayed!" she cried a storm in her eyes. "Betrayed? In what manner?" asked Elliard. "Her highness has had no hand in this. I know. Some one with mother has done this." La Signorina, her arms folded, her lips compressed into a thin line of scarlet, the anger in her eyes unabated, began to walk back and forth. "O'Mally gripped Smith by the arm and pointed to the gates. Two carmindieri and an inspector of seals dusty but stern of countenance came up the path. The inspector came on. Without touching his cap—a bad sign—he told upon the tea table a cool and a newspaper familiar now to them all. "Signora," he said politely, but coldly to the whilen prima donna "will you do me the honor to explain this? We have some doubts as to the authority upon which this invitation was" is sued. She spoke evenly almost insolently "The invitation is perfectly regular." Everybody experienced a chill. This time the inspector bowed "Then her highness will occupy her willa?" "She is already in possession I and the Princessa di Monte Bianco calmly Had an earthquake shattered the surrounding bills and guilds opened at their feet it could not have spread to nor more quickly among the transient guests at the Villa Aradne than this declaration. They knew that she was not the princess, and here calmly and negligently she was jeoparding their liberty as well as her own. She was mad The keen eyed inspector look ment note of these variant expressions "Your highness he said his cap setting the dust on the stones dying a thousand pardons for this disagreeable intrusion. It was not only known that your highness was here "It is nothing" replied the pseudoprince "Only I desired to rename cognito for the present" "And the senata" purred the official "We shall go through that formalize the morning after theull. At present I do not wish to be disturbed with the turning of the villa upside down as would be the case were the seals removed." "That will require the permission of the crown your highness" "Then you will set about at once to secure this permission" The air with which she delivered this command was noble enough for any one "You will telegraph to Cranford & Baring, in the Corso Unterno Prime Roma. They will surprise you with the necessary details and information." Loud were the examinations of dismay from the unfortunate Americans and only Hillard and Merritt showed faith in La Signorina and her presentation that she would straighten out the tangle without any additional misfortune coming to her former as sociates in the opera troupe. Kitty, O'Malley and Smith however were convinced that a dirty Italian prison would be their ultimate resting place. "Suppose we go and break the news to Worth" remarked Smith. O'Mally assented stopping a moment in front of La Signoring "We have all been together for many weeks" he said. "Yet who you are none of us knows." The shadow of a smile lay upon her lips and railed. "My name is Sonia Hilda Grosvenor." And her voice was music. "Tomorrow" said Merrilhew. "I'm going to look up the jail and engage rooms ahead. It might be crowded." Beth he and Hillard rode back to their quarters for the night, but they found that sleep was practically out of the question. The morning sun poured over the hills, throwing huge shadows in the gorge below. O'Malley sniffed. As the wind veered intermittently there came to him the perfume of the locust trees now in full bloom. Pietro rucked, his legs crossed, his face blurred in the frilling tobacco smoke. "No more tourists, Pietro?" "No" Pietro alighted. "Did you ever see La figurina before? Do you know anything about it?" Lure of the Mask Copyright, 1908, by the Bobbah Merrill Co. "Never! Not answered Pietro, with the perfect candor of an accomplished lair "Have you ever seen"— "Zitt! She come!" Pietro got up with slurcity. La Signorina was as daintily fresh in her pink frock as a spring tulip. Her eyes were shining, but her color was thin. "I have been looking for you, Mr. O'Mally" she said. "I have just re- ceived a telegram from her highness." O'Mally accepted the yellow sheet. "I can make out a word or two," he said. "It's in Italian." "I forgot apologetically I forgot apologetically Bryce La Principessa di Monte Bianca, gave Sonia Hilda Grosseaner full authority to act as her proxy in giving the ball. As for the invitation she knew absolutely nothing about it. This last statement rather staggered the erstwhile concerlege if the princess hadn't issued the invitation, who deuse had? The dreamy pleasurable days at the Villa Ardinea were no more. The spirit of suspicion now stalked abroad. And there were a coming and going of the many needed extra servants, a to and froing of extra gardeners and carpenters and the sound of many hammers. The ballroom and the dining room were opened and aired and the beautiful floors polished. In Florence there was a deal of excitement over the coming affair for the Villa Aristide bad once been the scene of many a splendid entertainment. There had always been a mystery regarding the Principessa di Monte Blanca Many doubted her actual existence. But the prince was known all over Europe as a handsome spendthrift. And the fast that at this precise moment he was quartered with the Eighth corps in Florence added largely to the zest of speculation. As for Hillard, well indeed he understood now why Mrs. Safford had warned him. He understood now what the great mistake was. He was always at her heels now but speaking no more of his love. She understood and was grateful. Once she plucked a young rose and gave it to him and he was sure that her hand touched his with pity though she would not meet his eyes. At 4 o'clock on the afternoon of the day before the ball now that the noise had subdued and the servants were in their quarters, La Signorina went into the gardens alone. ArChour earlier she had seen Hillard mount and ride away the last time but once. There seemed to bear down upon her that oppression which one experiences in a nightmare of being able to fly as high to run madly and yet to more slowly, always pursued by terror. Even now there was a single avenue of escape but she knew that she could not profit by it and have these unfortunate depredicts to shift for themselves. Love! She laughed brokenly and struck her hands in suppressed fury. A fitting climax this! All the world was mad, and she was the mad dest in it. Some one was coming along the path. She wheeled impatiently. She wanted to be alone. And of all men Worth was not the one she cared to see. But the sight of his pale face and set jaws stayed her words. She waited restlessly. "I have something to say to you," he said. "upon which your future welfare largely depends." "I am listening." She showed surprise. "There has been a tremendous wonder. as I understand, about this ball in regard to the strange manner in which the invitations were issued." "Have you found out who did it?" she demanded. "Yes." The light in his eyes was feverish. "Who was it?" fiercely. "I issued those invitations." "Your" her lips parted. "Yes. I am the guilty man. The list was the main obstacle. I represented myself as secretary to her highness." "And you have the effrontery to confess your crime to me!" her bury blazing forth. "Call it what you please." "What purpose had you in mind when you did this cowardly thing?" "I had a definite purpose. An imposture like yours is a prison offense. You have seen that I love you, yet always ignore me. You must marry me." "You are hiding a threat." "I shall hide it no longer. Marry me or I shall disclose the imposture to the police." "Oh!" Then she laughed the laughter of one in deadly anger. "Mr. Worth, do you suppose, even had I entertained some sentiment toward you, that it would survive a circumstance like this." "I am waiting for your answer. Yes or not." "No." "Take care," he advanced. "I am perfectly capable of taking care. And Mr. Worth, you will leave this villa at once. And if you do not · THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA quite quickly I shall order the servants to put you forth. "You speak as though you were the princess," he snarled. "Till Thursday morning I am!" La Signorina replied proudly. A man who loses his last throw is generally desperate. He seized him in his arms. She struck him across the eyes with full strength. He gasped and released her. On the night of the ball there was a brilliant moon. Kiss Chinese lanterns stretched from tree to tree. The orchestra was playing Strasa, the dreamy waltzes from "The Queen's Lace Handkerchief" Bright uniforms and handsome gowns dashed by the opened windows. Leaning against the door which gave entrance to the ballroom from the hall were two officers negligently intersted in the moving picture "Shall we go?" "No, not! The prince himself will be here at 11. He was, singularly enough, not invited, and, knowing the story as I do I am curious to witness the accem." Hillard peering gloomily over their shoulders, overheard the Prince Oh. this must not be! There could be only one prince in a matter of this kind. He pushed by the Italians without apology for his rudeness, edged around C. She struck him across the eyes. the ballroom till he reached La Signorina's side. He must save her at all hazards. "The prince himself will be here at 11" he whispered. "What prince?" Dj Monte Blanca. Come, there is no time to lose. I have been holding my carriage ready. "Thank you but it is too late." She smiled but it was a tired and lonely little smile. She had long since armed her nerves against this moment. He stepped back discouraged. He would wait and woe to any who touched her. At precisely 11 the music ceased for intermission. There was a toll. Two carriblers pushed their way into the ballroom Tableau! "Which among you is called the Principessa di Monte Blanca?" was asked authoritatively. "I am she, said La Signorina, stepping forth." "What do you wish?" "You are under arrest for imposture You are not the Principessa di Monte Blanca." Hillard, wild with despair, started to intervene As the carabinerist were about to lay hands upon La Signorina a loud voice from the hall stopped them "One moment" An officer in riding breeches and dusty boots entered and approached the dramatic group. Hillard and Merritt recognized him instantly. It was the man with the scar "This woman," explained one of the carabinerist, saluting respectfully, "is posing as your wife, highness. We are here to arrest her" "Do not touch her!" said the prince "She is the Principessa di Monte Blanca, my wife!" CHAPTER XVIII MEASURE FOR MEASURE SILENCE invested the Villa Arl salue yet a warm and mellow light illuminated many a window or marked short pathways on the blackness of the lawn. A solitary addle horse rattled his bit, pawed reatively and tossed his head worried ly from side to side as if proclacence had touched him with foretelling. On the other side of the wall, lurk ing in the dark alces was a tall, lea- gray hatred old man, who watched and listened and waited. He was watching and listening and waiting for the horse. Seven years' It was a long time. He had not hubbed for this man. He was breaking no promise. Their paths had recrossed. It was deat- The leaving of the guests had been hurried and notay. In truth, it resembled a disorderly retreat more than anything else. The denouncement was evidently sufficient. They had no desire to witness the anticlimax, however interesting and instructive it might be. His highness the Principi di Monte Bianca, Enrico by name, strode up and down the floor, his upright tinkling and his saber rattling harshly. Occasionally he glanced at the group on the opposite side of the room. He laughed silently. Oh, he would enjoy himself tonight. He would extract every drop of pleasure from this unexpected moment. Had she been mad, he wondered, to give him, this loughed for opportunity? A month longer and this action would have been impossible. At fast he came to a stand in front of La Signorina, who was white and weary. "So," he said, "after five years I find you, my beautiful wife! What a岁th of a time you have given meaccessors oceans and continental. A hundred times I have passed you without knowing it till too late, and here at the very moment when I believed it was all right, you sing yourself into the sorrow brains of your adoring husband I do not understand." "Be litle!" she replied, the chill of anions in her voice. Her hate for this man had no empty corners. "Bay what you will and be gone." "I shall, telegraph the attorneys in Rome to partition the estates, my heart!" he mocked her. "The king will not add to his private purse the riches of Colonel Grovehurst and the Principil di Monte Blance, your father and mino—old cools! To tell the truth, I am badly in need of money, and, head of Bacchus, your appearance here is life to me, my dear Sonia. Life! I am a rich man. But," with a sudden acowl, "what position in my household does this gentleman occupy? Indicating Hillard and smiling evilly." "So it is all true, then! Hillard exclaimed. "You are his wife!" "Well?" cried the prince impatiently "I inquire again, what position does he hold?" "This this is mine," she answered, her tone giving hint to the volcano burning in her heart. "However the estates may be partitioned, this will be mine. I command you to leave it at once. I loathe you." The prince laughed. She was simply a sack of gold. But this was his hour of triumph, and he proposed to make the most of it "I could have let the carnibularl take you to prison." he said urbanely "A night in a damp cell would have chastened your spirit." "Is it possible?" returned Hillard "Your highness has but to say the word and I will undertake the pleas ure of relieving you of this man's presence" "Be still," she said. "Will you go?" to the prince "Presently First I wish to add that your dear friend is both thick skilled and cowardly. I offered to alp his face a few nights ago, but he discreetly declined." "I am arm." replied Hillard, gently releasing his arm from her grasp. He approached the prince, smiling, but there were murder and despair in his heart. "Did I known you that night one of us would not be here now?" "It is not too late." suggested the prince "Come are you in love with my wife?" "Yes." The bluntness of this assertion rath er staggered the prince. "You admit it. then?" his threat swelling with rage. "There is no reason to deny it." "She is your" But the word died with a cough. Hillard, a wild joy in his heart, caught the princess by the throat and jammed him back against the rose satin panel. Hillard seized his sword arm and plumed it to the panel above his head. Again and again the prince made desperate attempts to free himself. He was soon falling in a bad way. He gasped, his lips grew blue and the whites of his eyes bloodshot. This man was killing him! And so he was, for Hillard, realizing that he had lost everything in the world worth living for, was read for killing. La Sigortina was first to recover. She sprang toward the combatants and grasped Hillard's hand, the one buried in the prince's throat, and pulled. She was not strong enough. *Mergont*'s *O'Malin*'s *Antele* "Merrithw. O'Mally. Quick! He is killing him!" she cried wildly. The two finally succeeded in separating the men and none too soon. A moment more and the prince had been a dead man. La Sigmirina turned upon Hillard. "And you would have done this thing before any very eyes." "I was mad," he panted, shamed. "I love you better than anything else in God's world and this man means that I shall lose you." The prince birched toward Hillard, but fortunately Merrithw heard the slithering sound of the saber as it left its scabland. Merrithw with a desperate lunge stopped the blow. He flung the saber at O'Mally's feet. "You speak English," said Merrithw in an ugly temper. "You may send your ordering to the Hotel Italie tomorrow morning, and your saber will be given to him. We can get along with out you pleas." The prime toro at his mustaches, Meddition. To return to Florence with out his saber was dishonor. He cursed them all roundly and turned to La Signorina. "I am in the way here," he cried. "But listen. You shall remain my wife so long as both of us live. I had intended arranging your freedom once the estate and money were divided, but not now. You shall read my wife till the end of the book, for unless I meet you halfway the marriage contract cannot be broken. In the old days it was your conscience. The still small voice seems no longer to trouble you" turning suggestively to Hillard "You are stopping at the Hotel lalle?" "I am You will find me there." returned Hillard, with good understanding. "Good! Your highness, tomorrow night I shall have the extreme pleasure of running your lover through the throat." He picked up his cap and took his princely presence out of their immediate vicinity. "It will do my soul good to stand before that secondrol," said Hillard, stretching out his hands and closing them with crushing force. La Bignorina laid a protesting hand on his arm. "I love you," he murmured as he bent to kiss her hand. "And it is not dishonorable for you to hear me say so." "I forbid you to say that!" But the longing of the world was in her eyes as she looked down at his head. "This is what comes of American "I am almost italian, Mr. O'Mally. I had no choice in the matter. The afair was prearranged by our parents, after the coiffinal fashion." When Hillard and La Signorina were at length about the asked, "When shall I see you again?" "Who knew, Some day, perhaps "Who kowpwt, some day, perhaps, withth tah- taal, written the shark cues of this moment. Numbers I shall write, or very soon. "You will send for me!" with eagerness and hope. "Why not? There is nothing wrong in our friendship, and I prize it. Promise." "I promise. Goodbyt. For a little while I have lived in paradise. Wherever I may be, at the world's end, you have but to call me. In a month, in a year, a decade, I shall come. Goodbyt." Without looking at her again he rushed away. She remained standing there as motionless as a statue. He had not asked her if she loved him, and that was well. But there was not at that moment in all the length and breadth of Italy a louder woman than her highness the Principessa di Monte Blanca. Meanwhile the prince, raging, mounted his horse. Eh, well. This time tomorrow night the American should pay dearly for it all. And the woman—he could never understand her. But for her fool's conscience he would not have been riding the beggar's horse today. She was now too, self reliant, too intelligent. She was her father over again, soldier and diplomat. He was riding past the confines of the villa when a man daried out suddenly from the shadows and seized the bridle "At last, my prince!" "Giovanni?" Instinctively the prince reached for his sabor, knowing that he had need of it, but the scabbard was empty. He cursed the folly which had made him lose it. Oddly enough, his thought ran swiftly back to the little casa in the Subine hills. Bahl Full of courage, knowing that one or the other would not leave this spot alive, he struck his borse, with purpose this time, to run his man down. But Giovanni did not lose his hold. Hate and the nearness of revenge made him strong. "No, no!" he laughed. "She is dead, my prince. And 1-1 we not going to seek you. I was going to let hell claim you in its own time. But you rode by me tonight. This is the end." The prince unhooked his scabbard and swung it aloft. But Giovanni was fully prepared. He released the brittle his arm went back, and his knife spun through the air. Yet in that instant in which Giovanni's arm was poised for the cast the prince lifted his horse on its manneches. The knife gushed the animal deeply in the neck. Still on its manneches, it backed, wield with the uncustomized pain. The tip of the road at this spot rotten and unprotected gore way. The prince tried to urge the horse forward. The blind quarters sank and the prince tried to vain to slip from the saddle. There came a crash a cry, and horse and rider went pounding down the gorge. Giovanni trembled, and the sweat on his body grew cold. For several minutes he waited dreading, but there was no further sound. He searched mechanically for his knife, recovered it and then crept down the abrupt side of the gorge till he found them. They were both dead. "Holy Father, then hast waited seven years too long!" Giovanni crossed himself. He gazed up at the ledge where the tragedy had begun. The cloud passed and neglected the shining munkets of two caramilier doubtless attracted by the untoward sounds. Giovanni stole SCHOOL This man was killing him over the stream and disappeared into the blackness beyond. It was Merrilhew who woke the sleeping cabby, pushed Hillard into a seat and gave the final orders which were to take them out of the Villa Arladen forever. He was genuinely moved over the visible misery of his friend. Whop they arrived at the white hotel in the Borgognanni Merrilhew was glad. At 0 in the morning Hillard heard a fast banging on the panels of the door "Open, Jacki Hurry!" cried Merrilhew outside. Hillard opened the door "What's the trouble, Dan?" he asked. Merrilhew whispered, "Dead!" "Who?" Hillard's heart contracted "The prince. They found him and his home at the bottom of the gorge. The concierge says that there has been foul play—tracks in the dust, a strange cut in the deck of the horse and a scabbard minus its saber. Now, what the devil shall I do with the blamed sword? Dead! Hillard sat down on the edge of the bed. Dead! Then she was free, free! "What shall I do with the sword?" demanded Matthew a second time. "Put it in the bottom of the trunk and leave it there till you land in New York. But the prince dead? You are sure!" "Florence rings, with the story." And then Merrick notwed. Hillard still, wore his evening clothes and the bed was untouched. "That's very foolish." "Why. I couldn't have, closed my eyes." replied Hillard. "Not wont and need was on them!" that won't and need you or them. Meirlhew was obviously troubled. Marrinne was obviously troubled. "If she needs me she'll send for me. I shall remain here and wait. She is free. Thank God!" "Didn't Glovanul tell us that he had friends in Plecopte, near Florence, and that he was going to visit them?" asked Merrinne. "Glovanul! I had forgotten. But what had my old valet against the prince?" "Glovanul had a daughter," said Merrinne. "His kulfe left a scar on the man. The prince carried a long scar on his cheek." Hillard began dressing in big day clothes, stopping at times and frowning at the walls. At night the last of the American Comic Opera company straggled into the hotel. O'Mally, verbose as ever, did all the talking. "You wouldn't know her," he said, referring to La Signorton, for they would always call her that. "When she heard of that duffer's death I swear that she believed you had a hand in it. But when she heard that the accident had occurred before you left the villa she just collapsed. The police were hunting for the missing anber. Of course we knew nothing about it." with a wink at Merrthew. When the others were gone Hillard asked Kitty if she had any news. "She said that she would write you and for you to remain here till you received the letter." "Was that all?" "Yes. Have you seen anything of that wretched man Worth, who is the cause of all this trouble?" "No, nor do I care to." Kitty and Merrihew went out together They were gone to America, and Hillard was alone. He missed them all sorely. Merrihew with his cheery laugh. Kitty with her bright eyes and O'Malley with his harmless droleries. And no letter! Daily he searched the newspapers for news of Glorantau. But to all apparances Glorantau had vanished, as indeed he had, forever out of Hillard's sight and knowledge. The letter came one week after the departure of his friends. It was post marked Venice. And the riddle was solved My father was Colonel Grovese, member of the Confederate army during the Civil war. On General Lee's staff was an Italian named the Principi di Monte Blanco. Rich fitted a real noble he was at heart an adventurer a word greatly abused these inglorious days. My father was out from the same pattern a wild and rockless spirit in those crowded times. The two became friends such as you and Mr. Merrifield art. Their exploits became famous. My father was also rich and a man of foreight. His real wealth was in foreign securities, mines, oils, steel steamships. When the war terminated the prince prevailed upon my father to return with him to Italy Italy itself was in turnoll II Re' Galantiumo, that Piedmontese hunter Vittorio Emanuele wished to literate Venice from the grusp of Austria to wrest temporal power from the Vatican and to send the French troops back to France Well, he accomplished all these things and both my father and the prince were with him up to the time he entered the Quirinal. After victory pence. My father invested in villas and palaces and settled down to end his days in the Venetian palace on the Grand canal Then my father, still young, remember, fell in love with the daughter off a Venetian noble. It was a happy union. Shortly after the prince also married. He was with the exception of my father, the most lovable man I ever knew-brave kindly impetuous, honorable, witty and wise. It does not seem possible that such a father should have such a son. There came a great day. A young prince was born and the rough king stood as his godfather. Later I added my feeble protest at the cost of my mother's life. As I grew up I became my father's constant companion. We were always out of doors. By and by he sent me to America to school. I returned from America to enter a convent out of Rome and inker went to Milan and studied music. One fatal day the old prince and my father put their heads together and determined that this great friendship of theirs should be perpetuated. The young prince should marry the young signorina They drew up the strangest of wills. Both men were in full control of their properties. There was no mentailed estate such as one finds in England. They could do as they pleased. And this was before Italy had passed the law requiring that our art treasures should be sold or transported Fortunately for me, my mother's property was considerable. The impossible clauses in the joint will read that if we two young people declined the bargain the bulk of the estates should revert to the crown Again, if we married and separated and were not reunited inside of five years the fortunes should become the crown's. If, having seepitted from my husband, either for just or unjust reasons, I should secretly or publicly occupy any villas or palace mentioned in the will it would be a tact admission that I accepted my husband. Was there ever such an insane tangle kindly miscast? We must marry; we must be happy. That our minds and hearts were totally different did not matter at all. Time went on. The old prince died suddenly; his wife followed. And then my kind and loving father went the way. I was taken under the wing of a duchess who was popular at court. At this period the young prince was one of the landowner men in Europe. He was brave, clever and engaging. On completing my education I decided to live in Rome. The old duchess mothered the rich American girl gladly, for, though I was half Italian, they always considered me as the child of my father. I was presented at court. I was asked to dinners and receptions' and balls. I was quite the rage because the dowager queen gave me singular attention. changed in some way. But I was blindly young. Often I noticed the long scar on his cheek. He had received it he said, in some cavalry exercise. Now, there was another clause in this will. It was the one thing which made the present life tolerable and possible to me. We were to be mar- R. "Because I love you!" ried without pomp, quietly, first at the magistrate's and then at the church. At last the day came. We passed through the streets to the magistrate's. I did not know then that I was not in love, that I was only young and curious. I threw roses to any who asked. The prince sat heathen in full dress uniform looking very handsome and distinguished. The prince smiled but he was nervous and not at ease. I thought nothing of this at the time. I believed his nervousness a part of my own. The magistrate performed his part. Legally we were man and wife. We were leaving for the church when at the very doorway a handsome woman, sad eyed, weary shabbily dressed touched me on the arm. "A rose, signora" I gave it to her, smiling pityingly. "God pray," she said, "that this man will make you happier than he made me!" "Let us be on!" said the princess eagerly. "Walt!" I turned to the woman. "Signor, what do you mean by those words?" "His highness knows." She pointed to the princess, whose face I now saw, strangely enough, for the first time it was black with rage and agnellness. "What has he been to you?" I demanded. She answered I understood In that moment I became a woman without illusions Without looking at the prince I entered the carriage and closed the door in his face He stormed; he led I was of stone He turned upon the poor woman and struck her in the face. Even had I loved him that would have been the end of the romance I drove home There would be no wedding at the church that day There was a great annual Every one took up the prince's cause, with the exception of the king The prince was almost bankrupt He had squandered his all He had sold to usurers half of the fortune he expected to get after marrying me He had not the slightest affection for me He was desperate and wanted the money How old and wise I became during that ride home from the magistrate I rowed he should never have a penny It should all go to the crown When at length he found that I was really serious he became base in his tactics. He was the one who was wronged. He gave life id such rumors among those I knew that soon I found doors closed to me which had always been open <No Italian woman could see the matter from my point of view. I was an American for all that my mother was a Venetian therefore I was wrong --- There! That is all. There is no more mystery concerning Sonia Hilda Grosvenor. And so the letter ended. There was not a word regarding any future meeting. There was nothing to read between the lines. A great loneliness surged over Holland. Was this, then, really the end? No! He would wait here in Florence till the day of doom. He would waste no time in seeking her, for he knew that if he sought he would not find. Day after day dragged through the hours, and Florence grew thinned and torrid. Sometimes he rode past the Villa Aridne, but he never stopped. It was in the middle of June that one afternoon the concerge handled him a telegram. It contained but three words. Villa Berbellolo, now a hotel, stands on a wooded promontory among the Alps and between the lakes, at Belloggio, and all day long the warm-sunshine floods its walls and terraces and glances from the polished leaves of the tropical plants. The 6 o'clock boat from Como puffed up notily and smokily to the quay, churning her side paddles. Hillard stepped ashore impatiently. What a long day it had been! How white the Villa Berbellolo seemed up on the little hilltop. He gave his luggage to the portor from the Grand and followed him on foot to the hotel. He dressed quickly, and in less than an hour he stepped forth from the gardens and took the path up to the villa. Afar he saw a table spread under the great oak. A woman sat by it. It was still daylight, and he would have known that help of hair among the ten thousand hours of heaven. She did not rise, but she extended her hand, a grave inquiry in her slumbrous eyes. With equal gravity be clasped the hand, but held back the impulse to kiss it. He sat down opposite her and smiling whimsically for Aaa Se ea CNM OME Petre tA te SLA Ny oS Bae ane eater aT ert oc are ML eres haere BI eae SS area aaa ee ro Bier een eiiaeESer™ ane ae ue A + I ES aaa aR eS a ee fe abe ete eee eee | ee ea aen eves RE Rae ee re SATURDAY..,,.5.5A4N. 5, 2010.

(BY JBAAC MOTEL) To fatten poultry quickly and profitably requires good judgment and proper management in the care of the fowls and proper feeding. The best foods are bits of fat meat, marshes of meat or fine grits made from yellow corn, with skim-milk; boiled potatoes, rice and oatmeal and milk. If anything, oatmeal is preferable because of its greater heating qualities and its effect on color or fat. The main point to keep in view is to fatten your fowls in the shortest time possible. To do this they should be kept in a coop or pen, whose they cannot take much exercise, for by exercise they work off flesh and keep down fat. A good way is to confine them in small, light coops made of lath or wire notting. Those may sit out in the back yard or barn yard, on well-drained ground. In case of rain or damp weather cover them with oilcloth. Keep the pen dark during the daytime, except when the fowls are eating, by throwing a thick covering over the coops, such as old carpets, blankets or quilts. This will prevent the fowls from stirring about between meals. In the morning give them boiled potatoes, mashed while hot and thickened with cornmeal, with a little salt and pepper for seasoning. They should be fed three times a day, and their bill of fare varied as much as possible, but with a large proportion of starchy, heat and fat producing articles. Very little green stuff should be given them, though pumpkin or squash may take the place of boiled potato occasionally. Fresh bedding should be supplied frequently, and the coop and spot it occupies kept clean. The coop should rest on clinders, or on gravelly or sandy soil, with a bedding of hay or straw. The coop being light, it will be easy to move it to a new place occasionally by a man getting at each end and lifting it an inch or so of the ground, gently pushing the chickens along inside the coop as it is moved, having prepared the bed of hay on the new place beforehand. Unless a hen is a very valuable breeding fowl it does not pay to keep her after a life is two years old. They should be marketed just before their second molting. Whether or not you buy your feed during the winter, it hardly pays to feed calfhorses hatched the previous spring, except, of course, the most premature pullets for next spring laying. Keep the others well fed and OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. growing until they weigh between three and four pounds, then put them in the fattening coop and give them all they will eat for ten days to two weeks and rush them to market. Both young and old fowls should not be fed within 24 hours previous to killing. Whether you ship dressed or alive must depend upon your market and the wishes of the parties to whom you ship. If you ship to a packing house or commission firm it is customary to ship in coops, but if you ship to some retail grocer or market in the city, it will perhaps be best to ship fowls dressed. Dry-picked fowls bring a slightly higher price in the open market. White or buff colored sell best, as the pin feathers do not show so much on the dressed fowl, and this gives it a noatier appearance. CROSS-LEGHORNS WITH GAMES Fancier Eliminates the One Fault of the Former by Introducing Indian Game Blood. (By WILLIAM R. FLANDERS) I have been a fancier and advocate of pure bred poultry for over 40 years, and the way I am eliminating the one fault of the White Leghorn is by introducing Indian game blood. Six years ago I purchased some Indian game hens, and by using White Leghorn sires ever since I have built up the best flock for general utility I have never owned. The game blood has added these characteristics to the Leghorns, hardi- Leghorn Cook ness, increased also and improved table qualities. They are, if possible, better layers and the-best fowls for raising chickens I ever had. Today I have 160 fowls, over 100 pullets, about every one pure white, but some having the game form and comb. I purchase new cockerels of White Leghorn blood each year to head the stock. The reason for it. "I see that Jennie has golden hair" this week. "Yes, she has her sweet hair, like goldout hair, better than krown, no she changed it at this day ing request." THIS BANKING INSTITUTION is no longer an experiment. It is conceded to be run upon and in accordance with the most improved rules of the best banking concerns in the United States. Its large spacious four story bank and office building is now in the course of erection and when completed will be one the most modern edifices of the kind in the Southland and will rank with the best white institutions of a similar kind and character. is selling at ($5.00) five dollars per share above its face value and rating it on the basis of the past dividends, this stock pays seven per cent. to those who purchase now. The BOARD OF DIRECTORS has decided to place a limited amount on the market at $15.00 per share, to be exact, the block equals just ($10,000.) ten thousand dollars and application should be made for an allotment to the Cashier of the Mechanics Savings Bank at once or to some member of the Board of Directors. The first who come will be the first served. CURTAIN FRONT FOWL HOUSE Planned and Used with Excellent Results by Main Experiment Station—Description Given This style of building is regarded very highly by practical poultry raisers. A certain front house 20 feet wide by 400 feet long has been planned and used with most excellent results by the MV experiment station. The description is here given, as it represents the latest development of this style of poultry house. The building rests on a stone wall high enough from the ground for dogs to go beneath to look for rats or skunks. The wall is built on the face of the ground and has openings in it like car windows every 20 feet, to allow the air to draw through and keep the basement dry during the Interior of House. summer. The building is boarded with one-inch boards and is prepared and shingled with good cedar shingles on walls and roof. The floor is of two thicknesses of hemlock boards which break joints in the laying The building is divided by tight board partitions into 20 sections, each section being 20 feet long. All of the sections are allike. The front side of each section has two storm windows of 12 lights of 10x12 inch glass. These windows are scrawled on upright two 2 feet 8 inches from each end of the room; they are three feet above the floor. The distance between the windows is 8 feet 10 inches, and the tor part of it to a depth of 3 feet 8 inches from the plate is not boarded but is left open to be covered by the cloth curtain when necessary. This leaves a tight wall 3 feet 10 inches high extending from the bottom of the opening down to the floor, which prevents the wind from blowing directly on the birds when they are on the floor. A door 16 inches high by 18 inches wide is placed close to the floor under one of the windows for the birds to pass through to the yards in front. A similar door is in the center of the back wall to admit them to the rear yard when it is used. A light frame made of 1x8 inch pnin strips and 1x8-inch crosettes is covered with ten-oneous white duck and hinged at the top of the front opening, which it covers when closed down. This curtain is easily turned up into the room, where it is caught and hold by swing holes until released. This rook platform is made light and extends above the floor length. End Elevation. of the room against the back wall. It is 4 feet 10 inches wide and 3 feet above the floor. The o are three roosts framed together in two ten foot sections. The top of the roosts are one foot above the platform and hinged to the back wall so they may be turned up out of the way when the platform is being cleaned. The back roost is 12 inches from the wall and the spaces between the next two are 16 inches The roosting closest is shut off from the rest of the room by curtains similar to the one described. There are two curtains each ten feet long and three feet long and six inches wide, for ventilating the roosting closest when necessary. Ton trap nests are placed in two tiers against the partition in each end of the room, each nesting space being one foot wide, one foot high and one foot long, with the entrances near the partition, away from the light, and with hinged covers in front for the removal of the egg. Each section of five nests can be taken without disturbing anything else cleaned and returned. Bsmall Flock Profitable. A small flock of chickens will prove more profitable, in proportion to numbers, than a large one. This enables those who live on small areas to procure eggs at nominal cost. The same amount of food given to a pig and a flock of hens for comparison will give better results with the fowls than with the pig, to say nothing of the fact that the flesh of poultry is superior to that of the hog, white greater cleanliness is also secured. There is no good reason why every urban resident should not keep a small flock of fowls, whether his area is large or small. Profitable Layers. There is but one guaranteed way of determining the profitable layers, and that is by the aid of trap nests, and no poultryman can afford to do without them. It will mean a profit in the crop, and a saving of feed, room and labor. Vegetables for Poultry Vegetables should form a good portion of the diet for poultry the year around. They promote the health of the flock, increase the egg yield and are an economical feed. Army Crossed Prozan River. The Damna river was frozen over so that an army crossed it on the feet to the river 469. WE HAVE ARRANGED for a limited number of Safety Deposit Boxes. They will be rented to our patrons at the rate of ($.25) twenty-five cents per month and upwards, payable in advance annually. Two keys will alone secure entrance to one of these boxes. The bank has one and the depositor the other. Both keys must be used, one after the other; before the safety-deposit box can be opened by either the Bank Cashier or by the depositor. This is a measure of safety which must be seen only to be appreciated. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Thinking Pleasant Things. Make yourselves to be pleasant thoughts.
