She would accept tho challenge of this rabble and show her contempt for Its opinions In a way that could not bo mistaken. She determined to give an entertainment whoso magnificence would startle the social world and bo her deflant answer to tho critics of her husband. At the eame time It would servo tho double purpose of dazzling and charming the Imagination of Stuart She would by a single dash of power end his In decision as to Blvens's offer and bind with stronger cords the tie that held him to her. Iler suggestion was received with enthusiasm by her husband. "All right," ho said excitedly, "beat tho record, Glvo them something to talk about tho rest of their lives. I don't mean thosa poor fools In Union snuare, Their raving Is pathetic. I mean tho big bugs who think they own tho earth, tho people who think that wo are now comers and that this Island was built for their accomraoda tlon.

In splondor New York's record of lavish entertainments but always with the reservation which sho had Imposed that nothing bo done that might violate the canons ot beauty and good taste. The 6ng dreamed night came, and her guests ma Degun to arrive. One was hurrying there to whom no engraved Invitation had been sent, and yet his coming was tho 006 big event of tho evening, tho one thing that would make tho night memorable The confession of lovo for Stuart which Harriet had sobbed out In her father's arms had been tho last straw that broke tho backbone of bis fight against Bh-ecw. In a burst of gener ous feeling ho mado up his mind to est his pride, drive from his mind every bitter Impulse and forget that bo hod ever hated this man or been wrongod by him. IIo could eoo now that he had ncgVoctcd bis little girl In tho right ho had been making for other people and that her very life might bo at stake In tho struggle she was making for tho mau sho loved. Blvens had onoo offered to buy his business, no had afterward made him a generous offer to compromise Ids suit. He had never doubted for a Thomas Dixon inonient tnara coiui IrifSB' wouia Ue accepted the moment he should see fit to give up. no Instructed his lawyer to with draw tho appeal before the day fixed for filing the papers. The lawyer raved and pleaded in vain. Tho doctor was firm. He wrote Blvens a gener ous irorsonal letter lu which he asked that the past bo forgotten and that he 'appoint a meeting at which they could arrange the terms of a final friendly settlement Tho act had lifted a load from his heart. Tho sum he would receive, If but half Blvens' original offer, would bo sufficient to keep him In comfort, complete his daughter's course in music and give him something with which to continue his daily ministry to tho friendless and tho lowly. It was all ho asked of the world now. ne wondered in his now enthusiasm why ho had kept up this bitter feud for tho enforcement of his rights by law when there were so many more urgent and Important things In life to do. Ho waited four days for an answer to his letter and receiving none wrote again. In tho meantime tho day for final nction on his appeal had passed and his suit was legally ended. On the last day his lawyer pleaded with him for an hour to file tho appeal suit and then compromise at his leisure. The doctor merely smiled quietly and re peated his decision: "I'm done lighting. I've something else to do." When Blvens failed to reply to his second letter he mado up his mind to see him personally. Ho was sure tho letter had been turned over to a lawyer and tho financier had never seen It. Ho called at Blvens' office three times and always met tho same answer: "Mr. Blvens Is engaged for overy hour today. You must call again." On tho fourth day, when ho had stayed until time for closing tho office, a secretary Informed him that Mr. Blvens was too busy with matters of great Importance to take up any now business of nny kind for a month and that he had given tho most positive orders to that effect to ail his men. If ho would return tho first of next month ho would boo what could bo done. Tho doctor left In disgust He deter mined to break through this ceremonial nonsense, see Blvens face to face and scttlo tho affair at once. When bo should boo him personally It would bo but a question of five inln utes friendly talk and tho matter would be ended. Now that ho recalled little traits of Bivcns' character ho didnt Boom such a scoundrel after all, Just tho average money mad man who could aoo but ono side of life. He woukl remind him In n friendly way of their early association and tho help ho had given him at an hour of his life when ho needed It most Ho wouldn't cringe or plead. Ho would state the wholo situation frankly and truthfully and with dignity propose a settlement. It was just at this moment that tho "Mr. Blverw is engaged for every hour today." doctor learned of tho preparations for the dinner and ball at the Blvens pal aoo 00 Riverside drive, Tho solution of wli?1. rirpbleni .flashed, Jhrojigt) Ms mma in an "Instant They wouia have professional singers without a doubt tho groat operatic stars and oth ers. If Hnrrlet could only be placed on tho program for a single song It would bo settled. Her voice woukl sweep Bivcns off his feet and charm the bril liant throng of guests. Ho would have to accompany her there, of course. At tho right moment ho would make him self known. A word with Blvens and It would be sottled. He lost no tlmo In finding out the manager of tho professional singers for tho evening and through Harriet's en thusiastic music teachers arranged for her appearance. From tho moment this was accomplished his natural optimism returned. His success was sure. He gavo his time with renewed energy to his work among tho poor. On tho day of tho ball Harriot was vattlng in a fever of Impatience for his return from the hospitals to dress. At half past 7 their dinner was cold and bo had not come. It was 8 o'clock be fore his familiar footstep echoed through the hall. Ho ate a hasty meal, dressed In thirty minutes and at 0o'clock led Harriet to tho side entrance of Blvens' great house on tho drive. Ho was In fine spirits. Ho rejoiced again that he had made up his mind to live the life of faith and good fel lowship with all men, Including the little swnrthy master of tho palace he was about to enter. And so with light heart he stepped through the door which tho soft white hand of death opened. How could ho know? Ae Stuart dressed for Nan's party ho brooded over his new relation to his old sweetheart with Increasing pleas ure. Never had Blvens' offer seemed more generous and wonderful. Ills pulse boat with quickened stroke as ho felt tho new sense of power with which he would look out on the world as a possible millionaire. He gazed over tho old square with a feeling of regret at the thought of leaving it Ho had grown to love the place in the past years of loneliness, but was deciding too soon, perhaps. There were some features of Bivens' business ho must understand more clearly before he could give up his freedom and devote himself body and soul to tho task of money making as his associate. . Ho went across tho square to take a cab at tho Brevoort nis mood was buoyant Ho was looking out on life onco more through rose tinted glasses. At Eighth street he met at right angles tho swarming thousands hurrying ncross town from their work heavy looking men who tramped with tired stop, striking the pavements dully with their nailed shoes, tired, anxious worn en, frowzy headed little girls, sad eyed boys, half awake all hurrying, tho fear of want and tho horror of charity In their silent faces. And yet the sight touched no responsive chord of sym pathy in Stuarf s heart as it often had.' As ho drove uptown tho avenue flash cd with swift silent nutomobllcs and blooded horses. Those uptown crowds through whoso rushing streams he passed were all well dressed and car ried bundles of candy, flowers and toys. Stuart felt tho contagious enthusl asm of thousands of prosperous men and women whoso lives at the moment flowed about and enveloped his own. What was It that made the difference between tho squalid atmosphere below Fourth street and tho glowing, flash ing, radiant, jeweled world uptown? Money! It meant purple and fine linon, delicacies of food and drink, pulsing machines that could make a mile a minute, tho mountain and tho sea, freedom from care, fear, drudgery and slavery! After all in tills modern passion for money might there not be something deeper thnn mere greed, perhaps the regenerating power of tho spirit press- lng man upwnrd? Certainly he could see only the bright sldo of It tonight Aa his cab swung Into Riverside drtvo from Seventy-second street tho sight which greeted him was ono of startling splendor. Blvens' yacht lay at anchor In tho river Just In front of hla house. Sho was festooned with electric lights from tho water lino to tho top of her towering steel masts, Tho Illumination of tho exterior of the Blvens house was remarkable, Tho stone and Iron fence surround ing tho block, which had been built at a cost of a hundred thousand dollars was literally ablazo with lights. Tho house was Illumined from its founda tlona to tho top,, of each towering minaret with ruby colored lights. Stuart passed up tho grand Btalra through a row of gorgeous flunkies and greeted, hisjtrostosa. (Continued in Friday's Issue.) Silenced.

It is ssU that tho hottest mines In the world arc those of tho famous Oomstock lode. On tho lower lovols tho heat Is so great that tho men can not work over ten or fifteen minutes at a tlmo.

K Ahraham Lincoln HE COUNTY FARM AGENT How He Works by Arousing a Con- munlty Spirit to Co-operate In De veloping Production as Well as Marketing. TNatlonal Crop Improvement Service.! The County Farm Bureau In charge of the County agent Is In reality an Agricultural Commercial club correlat ing all of the different forces In the county. Tho county agent represents tho U. S. department of agriculture, the State Agricultural college, the Commercial club, the bankers, the grain exchanges and other national "aa soclations. It Is his work to become not only adviser to tho fanners, but to harness all of the forces In a county to work together. What he must havo Is team work. Ono of his first duties is to learn the soil conditions, and to put each land owner into touch with tho proper Information to build up his land. Ho asks the agricultural college for aid In short courses. Institutes, domes tic science, Held demonstration, eecd testing, drainage, etc, they sending him experts to help him 011 all of these subjects. Ho forms his fanners' clubs In each township, and organizes his county committees on social life, shipping and marketing covering all kinds of products, alfalfa and other legumes, dairying, poultry, horticul ture, live stock, bees, etc. Ho visits all tho farmers' clubs and granges, and gets each local chapter to con sider all of these questions in the work being carried on by the farmers In the township. The grain exchanges and other na tional associations lend assistance on corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, hay and help with tho pure seed breeding. The Commercial club and bankers join the organization, and act on the committees on finance, credits, farm accounts, transportation, land, land lord and tenant, silos, and permanent Improvements of all kinds. Tho marketing committee Is perhaps tho most Important to him. It em ploys an attorney when necessary and protects the Interests of every citi zen, whether he belongs to the or ganization or not will investigate all complaints, and putting tho weight of tho entire organization back of It In sist that commission men play fair. They also see after the proper pack ing and traffic matters in connection with tho various clubs on various sub jects. Ho obtains concerted action on road building, and has a strong com mittee to seo that the county officials deliver the goods, and that specific plans aro mado to Improve tho roads mile by mile, and to maintain them by dragging, or otherwise, according to conditions. This is ono of his most Important committees. Through the public schools he takes up the subjects with various commit tees on home and social life, libraries, seed testing, and other contests, forms school and home gardens, boys' and girls' clubs, and as many other things as he can find enthusiasm to under take. All of which shows that tho county agent has something more to do than merely go about "advising farmers how to do it" NEW AGRICULTURAL BUREAU It 8eems to Bo Imperative That tho Office of Farm Management In the U. 8. Agricultural Department Be Constituted a Bureau by Itself. ("National Crop Improvement Servlce.1 Tho work ot tho office of farm man agement of the U.

It has often been suggested that a bureau of markets be created, but marketing cannot bo bandied by Itself without taking cognizance of tho stuff to bo marketed.
