"That isn't exactly the kind of ad vice I'm needing," was the sober re- Joinder. "No; but it was the kind you were wanting, when you tolled me off up here," laughed the ex-cowpuneher. "I know the symptoms. Had 'em my self for about two years so bad that 1 eould wake up in the middle of the night and taste 'em. Go in and win. Maybe the great big stumbling-block j you're worrying about wouldn't I mean anything at all to an open minded young woman like Corona; most likely it wouldn't." "If she could know the whole truth—and believe it," said Smith musingly. "You tell her the truth, and she'll take care of the believing part of it, all right. Tou needn't lose any sleep about that." Smith drew a long breath and re moved his pipe to say: "I haven't the nerve, Billy, and that's the plain fact. I have already told her a little of it She knows that I—" Starbuck broke in with a laugh. "Yes; it's a shouting pity about your nerve! You've been putting up such a blooming scary fight in this irri gation business that we all know you haven't any nerve. If I had your job in that, I'd be going around here toting two guns and wondering if I couldn't make room in the holster for another." Smith shook his head. "I was safe enough so long as Stanton thought I was the resident manager and promoter for a new bunch of big money in the back ground. But he has liad me shadow ed and tracked until now I gu*ss he is pretty well convinced that I actually had the audacity to play a lone hand; and a bluffing hand, at that. That makes a difference of course. Two days after I had climb ed into the saddle here, he sent a couple of his strikers after me. I don't know just what their orders were, but they seemed to want to fight—and they got it. It was in Blue Pete's doggery, up at the camp." "Guns?" queried Starbuck. "Theirs; not mine, because I didn't have any. I managed to get the shooting irons away from them be fore we had mixed very far." "You're just about the highest, long-eared, stiff-backed, stubborn wild ass of the wallows that was ever let loose in a half-reformed gun country!" grumbled the ox-cowman. "You're fixing to get yourself all killed up. Smith. Haven't you sense enough to see that those rustlers will rub you out in two twitches of a dead lamb's tail if they've made up their minds that you are the High Line main guy and the only one?" "Of course," said the wild ass easily. "If they could lay me up for a month or two—" "Lay up nothing!" retorted Star Fashions of To-Day t - By May Manton course new negligees arc II in demand.

"Pshaw!" exclaimed the one whose fears ran In a far different channel from any that could bo dug by mere corporation violence. "This is Ameri ca, In the twentieth century. We don't kill our business competitors nowadays." "Don't -we?" snorted Starbuck. "That will be all right, too. We'll suppose, just for the sake of argu ment, that my respected and respec table daddy-in-law, or whatever other silk-hatted old money-bags happens to be paying Crawford Stan ton's salary and commission, wouldn't send out an order to have you killed off. Maybe Stanton, him self, wouldn't stand for it if you'd put it that barefaced. But daddy-in law, and Stanton, and all the others, hire blacklegs and sharpers and gun men and thugs. And every once in a while somebody takes a wink for a nod —and bang! goes a gun." "Well, what's the answer?" said Peto Simms. "Tote an arsenal, yourself, and be ready to shoot first and ask questions afterward. That's the only way you i can live peaceably with such man as Jake Boogerfield and Lanterby and Simms." Smith got out of his chair and took a turn up and down the length of the room. When he came back to stand before Starbuck he said: "I did that, Billy. I've been carrying a gun for a week and more; not for these ditch pirates, but for somebody else. The other night, when I was out at Hill crest, Corona happened to see it. I'm not going to tell you what sh6 said, but when I came back to town the next morning, I chucked the gun in to a desk drawer. And I hope I'm go ing to be man enough not to wear it again." Starbuck dropped the subject ab ruptly and looked at his watch. "You liked to have done it, pull inpr me off up here," he remarked. "I'm due to he at the train to meet Mrs. Billy, and I've got just about three minutes. So long." Smith changed his street clothes leisurely after Starbuck had gone, and when he went downstairs stop ped at the desk to toss his room key to the clerk. The hotel register was lying open on the counter, and from force of habit he ran his eye down the list of late arrivals. At the end of the list, in sprawling characters upon which the ink was yet fresh, he read his sentence, and tor the first time in his life knew the meaning of panic fear. The newest entry was: "Josiah Richlander and daughter, Chicago." I Smith was not misled by the place name. There was only one "Josiah Richlander" 1n the world for him and he knew that the Lawrenceville mag nate, in registering from Chicago, was only following the example of those who, for good reasons or no reason, use the name of their latest i stopping place for a registry ad dress. CHAPTER Xn. A Reprieve. Smith's blood ran cold and there was a momentary attack of shocked consternation, comparable to nothing that any past experience had to offer. But there was no time to waste in curious speculations as to the why and wherefores. Present safety was the prime consideration. With Josiah Richlander and his daughter in Brewster, and guests under the same roof with him, discovery, identifica tion, disgrace were knocking at the door. He could harbor no doubt as to what Josiah Richlander would do if discovery came. For so long a time as should be consumed in telegraph ing between Brewster and L.awrence ville, Smith might venture to call himself a free man. But that was the limit. One minute later he had hailed a passing autocab at the hotel entrance and the four miles between the city and Colonel Baldwin's ranch had been tossed to the rear before he re membered that he had expressly de clined a dinner invitation for that same evening at Hillcrest, pleading business to Mrs. Baldwin in person when she had called at the office with her daughter. * Happily, the small social offense went unremarked, or at least unre huked. Smith found his welcome at the ranch that of a man who has the privilege of dropping in unannounc ed. The colonel was hos pitable, as he always was; Mrs. Baldwin was graciously lenient —was good enough, indeed, to thank the eleventh-hour guest for reconsider ing at the last moment; and Coro na — Notwithstanding all that had come to pass; notwithstanding, also, that his footing in the Baldwin house hold had come to be that of a fam ily friend. Smith could never be quite sure of the bewitchingly win some young woman who called her father "colonel-daddy." Her pose, if it were a pose, was the attitude of the entirely unspoiled child of na ture and the wide horizons. When he was with her she made him think of all the words expressive of trans parency and absolute and utter un concealment. Yet there were mo ments when he fancied he could Ret passing glimpses of a subtler personality at the back of the wide open, frankly questioning eyes; a wise little soul lying in wait behind | its defenses; prudent, all-knowing, deceived neither by its own prepos sessions or prejudices, nor by any \ pf the masqueradings of other souls. Smith, especially in this later in carnation which had so radically changed him, believed as little in the psychic as any hardheaded young business iconoclast of an agnostic century could. But on this particular evening when he was smoking his after-dinner pipe on the flagstoned porch with Corona for his compan ion, there were phenomena appar ently unexplainable on any purely material hypothesis.

Copyright, 1917, Star Company If I had been afraid that my em ployer would at once renew the subject of our brief conversation of this afternoon, my fears were soon laid at rest. It was evident that, for a while at least, he meant to avoid any dangerous or serious top ics. By the time we had left the house he began to talk about the car he was driving, dilating on its good points and comparing it favorably with the large touring car and with the limousine that was Mrs. Gore's favorite equipage. As I listened it was difficult to realize that this was the man who had told me only a few hours ago that he loved me. His manner was as matter of fact as if Tom and not I, had been his companion. When we reached the station in which was the telegraph office he alighted. "Are you afraid to stay here alone while I take in this tele gram?" he asked me. "Afraid!" I scoffed. "Of what?" "I don't know," he smiled. "But some girls and women are nervous about being alone anywhere after dark." I glanced at the lighted platform at which he had stopped the car. "I hardly think anybody will kid nap me here and now," I smiled. He was gong but a few minutes, then, returning took his seat and started the automobile in the oppo site direction from that leading di rectly home. "I am not going to kidnap you, either," he said pleasantly. "But It is only a few miles further around the hill over yonder, and the woods are lovely in the moonlight. You don't mind getting home fifteen minutes later than is absolutely necessary, do you?" "No," I answered, "if you think best." "You are warm enongh?" he asked. A Thrilling Ride "Yes," 1 toid him, wondering if he had had this detour in mind when he had insisted on my taking the laprobe. He drove more slowly than he G. R. KINNEY CO., Inc.

Wo had gone but a short distance when my companion spoke in an al tered tone. "Elizabeth," he began, "X want to talk with you quietly and calmly for a little while. This I could not do this afternoon. I spoke too impetu ously, perhaps, but, as 1 told you then, I had had a hard time in town. I have a lawsuit on, and the details are painful. 1 had to go all over them to-day, and the experience shook me a bit." "I hope," I ventured as he paused, "that the matter is settled satisfac torily now." "No—that is, yes—at least, it will be within a little while- —before the Fall, at any rate. Meanwhile, I want to forget all about it." "I hope you can," I murmured, at a loss what to say. "The best way to forget it is not to speak of it," he said. "I just wired my lawyer to go ahead with it and to leave me alone unless nec essary to bother me. That's what lawyers are for. "And now that that is off my mind I want to come back to what ■ matters most in the world to me, my dear —and that is you!" "Please, Mr. Norton," I began, but he interrupted me. "Elizabeth," he begped, "X have a favor to ask of you. It is that you will let me say to you here and now just what I have to say, and, no matter what you feel, just hear me out to the end." "If—if you insist," I muttered. "It will make it easier, dear," he pleaded. "I will try to be brief." Without waiting for futher re sponse, he went on. "You don't know anything about me, Elizabeth, but there is not much that would affect you one way or iho other—even if you loved me, as you told me honestly and as I know already you do not. But as you do like me, you will let me tell you what you have a right to know. In the first place, one thing that you may not be aware of and that you may hear later, is that I have been married twice." She Already Knows He paused. "Yes," I nodded, "I found it out —accidentally." "Ah," he exclaimed. "Then you know that Tom's mother died when he was young and that later I mar ried Grace's mother,, and that i she —" He hesitated, then, slowing down the car, brought it to a full stop. "Shall we get out for a few min utes?" I nodded and w6 stood look ing across a clearing. He scanned ■ my face anxiously, almost fearfuly. [ In the moonlight his face looked white and strained. I spoke quick ly, for I hated to see that expres --l ion. "That Grace's mother died when , she was only a baby? Yes, I know ' that, too." He drew in his breath so sharply that it sounded as if he gasped. , "Yes, yes," he murmured, start ing the car again and driving very slowly, "when she was a tiny baby > —yes. You don't mind if I don't . talk any more about that, do you? ! Kxcept to tell you that she was deli cate and nervous and that Grace j was once like her in health and - constitution—before you came.

C., June 6. —"Have your city food chemist analyze your city garbage from week to week and publish prominently what he finds as an Index of food saving or waste in your community," is the sugges tion the U. S. Department, of Agri culture is making to municipal au thorities throughout the country. Where there is no official chemist, the department points out, local chemists capable of determining per centages of fats, protein, starch and organic matter wasted in garbage can render great service to the na tion by volunteering to make these analyses in their localities. Vast amounts of bread, meat and edible fats are wasted in garbage and tons of valuable feedstuff for animals are lost to the food supply of the nation by usual garbage re- I duction or disposal methods. One of I the first results from the careful analysis of city garbage should be | the passage of more rigid enforce ment of garbage-collection ordinan ces, requiring that no glass, tin, wood, burnt matches, paper, string, or inorganic trash be mixed with the vegetable material, meat scraps, or bones which can be used for feed. This dual collection of garbage and trash is being rigidly enforced by Germany in all cities of 40,000 people. Garbage so collected from a population of 17,000,000 people in Germany, although the German garbage pail always has been far leaner than the American one and is especially light at this period, fur nished briquettes rich in protein which when fort to dairy cattle pro duced 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 quarts of milk daily. In most American cities, however, . garbage is sent to reduction plants where all the fat and oil it contains Is recovered for use in making soap or greases. ! Ihe residue after the oil is extract , ed is used as fertilizer or dumped into the ocean. This practice has been highly profitable because the , American garbage pail is very rich in fat, American garbage averaging 3 per cent, of fat, while German gar bage rarely shows even 1 per cent, of fat, as the German people never have been wasteful of smimal or other fats. Another reason for the use of the reduction method i 3 that in many cities ordinances prevent the use of garbage for feeding animals, particularly dairy cows, although there is no valid hygienic objection to the use of dried and properly sterlized garbage as food for cattle or hogs. • IJOSS Fat to Ho Wasted The department specialists believe that as the thrift idea gains ground less and less fat will be thrown into the garbage pail and are hopeful that the time is not far distant when the amount of fat will make reduc tion for the recovery of oils hardly worth while. This will mean that ii , lot of excellent and valuable food , stuffs now being wasted as food will > never get into the garbage pail. Even r when all fat is eliminated, however. and waste of bread and cereals and 3 meat has been reduced to a mini i mum, the garbage pail nevertheless ) will contain In the form of parings, i plate scraps and trimmings a vast i amount of material which should lie l conserved and used as feed "for hogs, r cattle, or poultry. First, however, 1 the people must face the facts and - know the truth of their waste, and
