The temperature was from sixty above to Si throughout tjte middlewest yesterday, the warmest report coming trout Cana, Illinois, its unusual but so is about everything else happening these days. The storms are coming early and the first one had enough wind in it to make every one wonder just what will happen when the storm season really comes. There never was a time when the news of the day was of more importance than in this year and to keep posted you will want the home paper. We hope every reader will renew his subscription and it goes without saying that we will appreciate it. Lincoln's birthday and a good time to remember his words: “Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you and in the end you are sure to succeed.” The nation needs lo follow that advice now as surely as they did in those days immediately following the Civil war. Tom Marshall made quite a hit a few years ago when lie declared „ that “what this country needs most is a good 5-eent cigar.” You can get them now and every thing else you need at old fashioned prices by attending the "Way Back When” sale. It starts Saturday and continues two weeks. The farmers of Kirkland, I’reble and French townships will hold an institute at the Kirkland gym on the 25th of this month and the program as published indicates it will ,hc an interesting affair with a splendid program and a list of premiums that will produce an exhibit worth while.

Dig up your money and take advantage of these reductions, which cover about every line. The preliminary meeting held at democratic headquarter, last evening for tbe purpose of laying plans for the rully to be held here next month was largely attended and the enthusiasm was plentiful and sincere. The meeting will be one of the best ever given here and the program will include talks by many state and congressional candidates. The ticket committee will get busy soon ami you won’t want to miss this. Herbert Johnson, a young man of 33 years, attempted lo hold up Bert Frye at Seibert, Indianu, last summer. Frye resisted ami Johnson killed him. He was arrested, tried and convicted and sentenced to death In tbe electric chair as Michigan City. He paid the penalty this morning. That's a satl story. The man Is said to have had u personality and the ability to have made a decent living. Evidently he didn't care what became of him for he refused to make any effort to have his sentence lightened. declaring that if he got out of this they would probably get him later. Perhaps he is better off if he had that kind of a complex. Economic conditions look lietter. The administration efforts to help the hanking situation and a general improvement all along the line of business yesterday made the stock market take the first jump upward in some time. If confidence can he restored and everybody start to doing things there is no question that we will soon he back on our feet and going good. We do things that way in this counirv. We go up fast and we go down with a plunk; only this downward skid which has continued now about thirty months, was a little too hard for the strongest. Iu 1923 the stock market "boobs" were caught and in 1930, it wasn't so bad for the big fellows Hut in 1931 they all "took it on the chin." Now every one is anxious to start forward and with a little start, the movement will gain speed. Don’t expect too much however or don't start off 100 snappy. o ♦ — ♦ i Answers To Test Questions Below are the answers to tbe Test Ques'ions printod on Page Two. ♦ —• ♦ 1. Terns. 2. Silver. 3.

I I • ♦ Editor Democrat: Our friend from Bobo must be a ; great animal fancier. I’m glad he j doesn't live in Borneo or his anl- i ntal stories would be such big ones j they would fill the entire paper in- j stead of just about half a page as j now. I was wondering why he wait-! -d so long in answering. Guess he was after those rabbits. Well, if he doesn't have any better luck catching them than lie has oil tax reduction it should he a hunters paradise next winter. It looks as though lie got his metaphors mixed slightly on bis Hoover dog and that imaginary rabbit. If the sage from Bobo will just read again his last letter rt will explain why the (log did not catch the rabbit. At the time of I Ibis thrilling, blood curding chase the dog (by his own explanation) was still called Hoover. The name was changed later. Now Hoover surely would not have been chas-; ing a rabbit representing tile moneyed men for if 1 see it right they | are of the same interests. If tbe above mentioned sage will permit me 1 believe I can put his trained i animals to their right places where they will perform so well lie cun charge admission. Now. as the dog was then Hoover, that rabbit surely must have! been a tax-reduction rabbit (as Hoover and tax reduction are in antithesis to each other) anil the; Hoover dog was merely trying to , chase the tax-reduction rabbit back j tc its hole. And why this particu-j lar rabbit passed tile sage three I times was that it was so windy I around that spot that rabbit > ihouglit there must he a cave there. But it couldn't sec any cave because all refuge was obscured by lliat $36 suit the sage was wearing! and the tired, hard-pressed tax re-; duct ion rabbit had to enter the ground hog hole. If the sage could j just have pushed I lie Hoover dog , in tile hole we would have been rid j of otic Hoover anyway. I'm not going to charge my friend I anything for collaborating with him on his (muting but I know'tie will appreciate it, ha, ha. Now t lie sage always seems to be kicking about something. I bet lie is hard on shoe lealher. Perhaps that is why he pays six dollars a'pair. Just another tip. Take some soothing tablets so you can sit down a while. About having the same, standard for city and country why you are barking into the wrong ground hog hole. City life is a promotion over rural life and always will be. About, the sages ideas on finunce they are so brilliant 1 can’t understand why ho passes ills time in the sage brusii ami crys out iu the wilderness when lie should hold down a seat iu the Capitol at Washington, D. C. Even if it would be a seat out in tlie corridor, iia, ha. I believe our sage from Bobo lias been read ing Communist doctrine. Everyone there is ott an equal basis. All treated the same, all payed the same. Now who wauts to live under Russian conditions? 1 like to bee a man under his own initiative and responsibility and confidence in himself. Finance aud business are peculiar. The farmer can't bring back pros pertty by an arbitrary increase in fart:; products. He may as well try and raise himself by his own

*ii ■ i ■ CHAPTER VI The Robber* and the Revolver. \ I THEN Shad arrived Muse St. \\ Germain, who bad reached Kitdure pond before ifie storm begin, was serving supper to Colonel Blake and Judge Swift. “I’m wet," said Shad as lie went and stood by the stove. "I had to do some swimming and there was a lot of water in the bushes." "Come right upstairs. I've plenty of clothes for you,” said Colonel Blake. Soon Shad was sealed at the sup per table in dry clothes, and slippers. “Tell us wluil happened to you and why you are here," said the Colonel. Shad began at the high point in Ids adventures: “Somebody shot at me when I was out on Center pond. The bullet almost took the end off my nose. I was scairt. I slipped out into tlie water. Another bullet whizzed above me. I got the slant of ’em when they hit the water. I knew about where the shooting came from. I made for the canoe, and hid myself behind it and towed it ashore. I ran up the trail like r scared buck. I knew vvhy that man was shoving lend at nte. He wanted to get me an' the things in that pack basket before I eould see you." “VVliat have you got there';" the colonel asked. Shad told cf what he and Bony had learned of the man under the broad brimmed hat hastening dow n the road to Ashfleid; of their searching for ami finding the hidden handkerchief and hats: of the group of men at the Westminster hotel and of Bony's boastful words in their presence: of Doctor Gorse's suggestions regarding Hie revolver and the rubbers; of (lie big man who followed him to the lumber camp. Shad proudly unwrapped the packages in his basket and laid them before the astonished officers of the law. Colonel Blake drew a chart of the road ntal river from Ashfleid to Amity Dam, reproduced herewith, and with Shad's help located Brown’s cove and the points where the tints and the handkerchief wpre found. Looking at the chart the judge said: “The handkerchief and slouch hat were found where Brown might have hidden them In going to his boat. We must keep Brown’s motive in mind." "Yes. but I have not been quite satisfied with Brown's motive," said the district attorney. “The sheriff"s report and my Own observation and the evidence of tills tiny indicate that he is a harmless and lovable Benson's \ | [ A#kfie|d MansionsX c*. o a JjQW /yisiHd fjS7'd s e Where 1 I /> ■a 'Broad | \ „ / / » Brmmiedl \oroww s // •i hat was \ \C° V * // found, \j J/ c -A#,l S v'.oJ h < dsi sod £ hardkrrclwfi§\ o Jrrt fsjndttrj £ fel \\DooJifitie,, j V\H°ese\ j / ‘ ' An} ll3 D4 W II \oßolton old chap of a rather admirable spirit.” .Shad told the story of tbe missing ring. He added. “That's why I am here.” "Well, boy, your heart and your work are a credit to you,” said the colonel. “You have faced tne around. Judge, this is no such easy problem as we thought. We have lo look for a deeper man than the tinker and a deeper motive than mere resentment It is extremely Improbable that two bullets could have been aimed directly at the boy by accident. If the man at the old lumber camp was a benighted hunter, why has he not shown up here? Hp came out of the trnil from Center pond. It leads directly to food and shelter in this camp.” The judge asked: “Assume that lie was trying to kill the hoy, why would he have followed him to the old lumber camp? After circling the pond be would have known that he was too far behind the boy to catch him.” “Yes. but he may have thought that Shad was wounded and losing blood and going slowly or lying dead in the trail. If he saw him

topple out of the canoe It would have been bis natural Inference that he had hit bis mark. I do not like this touch of mystery. Some one seems to see In one or more of these three articles a source of danger for himself. They were put away in the nisli and excitement of the fleeing criminal and as soon ns It could he safely done, some dark night, they were to he gathered tip and destroyed or perhaps hidden somewhere near the shack of Bumpy Brown. You know, the thought has come to me more than once that the revolver and cartridges were planted on the old man.” “There are interesting speculations, hut they do not impress nte." said the Judge. "The big man otic young friend saw may have got his bearings aud gone to his catnp or he may he coming Iter' any minute and telling of his adventure nenr Center pond." In the moment of silence that followed the judge's words Shad spoke out: "He'll never coni* here. He is the murderer. He knows that I know It.” Shad told them of that moment near the abandoned camp when the moonlight had shown him a masked face. “And he did not call out when he heard you running away?" “No, sir," Shad answered. The colonel was examining the two lints which Shad Imd brought In his basket. Suddenly he whistled und exclaimed : "Well! What does this mean? Look hero. Judge." Inside the sweat hand of the light colored slouch hat some one had written with pen and Ink those words: “To R. R.: it's a long head that never turns." “This is undoubtedly the hat worn by thp murderer," said the colonel. “All who saw him agree as lo the kind of hat he wore, and it was found with the handkerchief. This writing Is that of a young woman accustomed to the use of a pen. Site was a playful person of some sort. Who is site and who is 11. It.?" “Robert Royce. maybe.” Shad promptly answered. “Sure enough! There are the two It's,” said the colonel. “He was a son of Mrs. Doolittle by Iter first husband He is tall. I remember that he swore at the examination that fie closed his shop at five o'clock and went upstairs to read. He came downstairs and let Cyrus Doolittle out of his front door soon after eight. He would have had three hours in which to go to Amity Dam, commit the crime and return to his shop.” He carefully wrapped the articles which he had been examining, and added: “1 shall take good care of these things and go out of the woods tomorrow." <?• took Shad's hand and spoke those words, which mark a turning point in the career of Sheridan Morryson: “Bard, 1 like you. I'm going to take you into my office if you doa't mind, and try to make a lawyer of you. 1 guess we can get along together. I want you to go to lied now and get a good rest. You must be tired.” He bolted the door and put braces in the windows. The two men and the boy went to their beds above stairs. Shad observed that the colonel put the package under his pillow. The boy hud been much elated by the colonel's words. Next morning, at South Bolton, they went to Hubbard's stow. Shud bad told Colonel Blake of the attractive young lady he had once seen at Bumpy Brown’s shack and who worked in that store. The young woman had gone to Ashfleid that morning. She would be returning the next day. "Who is this young woman and where ia iter home?" Colonel Blake inquired of the merchant. “She is front Malone," the latter answered, "11-r name is Caroline lie Long. Robert Boyce introduced iter to nte in Ashfleid one day about a year ago. 1)p had known her and her people in Malone She said that she was not very well; that she had heard that South Bolton was a healthy place near the edge of the big woods and that «h« would like to w ork tn my store. 1 needed help, so t took her to work here in the store.” “Have you bean pleased with her?" "Well, yes—pretty well on the whole. I’ve found her honest and good at figures.” “I have heard that she is very handsome and that she dresses well," Colonel Blake went on. “Yes. site's ar proud as a p**. co'k. and my wife thinks that she too well for a girl who has CTO BK CONTINUED.)
