One dav. an eventful one for JasJ Warren, a circumstance occurred which brought out In bold relief the ’h aeteristics of the three young men. nd in the future something more They were walking down the .tree Aether, when a half starved slip of a girl approached him. "Will you give me a trifle: she snid, not all in the whine of a professional beggar, but as if driven by desperatiou to hopeless solicitation for alms. Winters drew ids purse. It was filled with banknotes. ••No change," he said Indifferently. “Apply to the relief committee. "Here," spoke Girton, tendering four pennies, the return from a nickel Just given to a newsboy. “Come on, Warren '* But Jasper lingered behind. He ,canned the girl and asked her a few guestions. Her answers, bluntly, cheerlessly given, convinced Warren that here was a ca«e Indeed worthy of sympathy and succor. “Just make my excuses at the tennis party, will yout' he spoke to Winters. "Zounds, man!” exclaimed Girton, “yon can’t be thinking of disappointing Miss Barton?" "I must,” replied W’arren. “This girl’s story appeals to me vitally. I am going to Investigate It. I may be later at the park." The case of the little child and the scene she had led him to that day were forgotten now. At the time, however, all that was noble in him had come to the surface. The girl had led him to a squalid hut on the flats where the big factory employees lived. He found a man, John Little, prostrate on a bed of sickness, his wife also ill, three small children nearly famished. Warren provided for their wants, saw Little restored to health, and hoped the family could now manage to get along. “I shall try to see Irene onee more,” Warren now told himself. “If she still acts indifferently as of late, I shall go away and try to forget her." At that very hour his dear one was in the critical peril of her life. Nobody was at home but herself. A ring at the door bell sent her down the stairs. "Electric light man," spoke a gruffrolced man. who carried a little satchel. “Want to take the meter." "Oh, I see,” said Irene quickly. “It Is In the attic. Follow’ me.” She led the way up the stairs, but as she passed the open door of her room the man pushed her across its threshold roughly. "This will do, mum. Now, no outcry, or It’s—this,” and he extended a deadly looking revolver. Iren.- shrank and paled. She knew that if she shrieked the burglar would use violence.

"What Is It you want," alie palpitated. "That Jewelry and what money you’ve got,” was the prompt reply. Then as she turned to gather up the plunder demanded, she was startled at the swift exclamation from the burglar! "Hello 1" The word was so emphatic and expressive, that Irene dropped the Jewelry she had gathered up. She glanced •it her fierce visitor. He was staring et the three photographs. "Say,” he broke out roughly, "who are these fellows?" "They are friends of mine,” faltered Irene, wondering at the strange Interest displayed. "This one particularly," pressed the •‘tan, his pudgy finger Indicating the portrait of Warren.

are acquainted with the farming conditions in this county stilted. The increased prices now being paid the fanner for his crops, including wheat, corn, and oats are higher than they have been for sometime. Harvest Is On This week will mark the real opening of the wheat harvesting In Adams county, County Agent Busche stated tthis morning. One of the finest wheat fields In the county Is that of the Fonner Stock Farm located just north of the city limits. The field contains 55 acres of the finest looking wheat ever, grown in this vicinity, and it was stated that W. P. Schrock, manager of the farms, would begin harvesting it this week. The spring rains wore a benefit to the wheat, although the corn had to suffer, it was stated. Indications are that the increased prices for wheat and corn will continue throughout the season. If they do, it will mean many thousand dollars more in the pockets of the farmers this year and everyone knows they are justly entitled to it.
