FARMER’S WIFE CONTRIBUTES ALL TO HERGOUNTRY Sacrifice Lives as 'Nation’s Greatest Burden Bearers, By Times Special WASHINGTON, July 26.—Once again the fields are ripening 1 1> the harvest. All over the Nation the crops are coming to a rich maturity and already in the mid-western States the hum of the thrasher may be heard. Before many weeks the corn will be garnered and the cotton fields will yield their snowy treasures; melons will ripen in the sun and apples and peaches make the air spicy with fragrance. Behind the great American harvest stands the farmer whose praises are continually sung, but behind the farmer stands the farmer’s wife, the most indefatigable and the most poorly remunerated of all our country's working people. Greatest Burden Bearer The woman on the farm is the greatest burden bearer. She is an everlasting sacrifice to the land. While her men folks are sowing and reaping, she is working overtime to give them food. No matter how early the*man may leave his bed for the waiting fields, some woman must rise to get breakfast for him, and no matter how late he sits down to his evening meal, she is always there to wash the dishes after him. The wheat farmer, the corn farmer, the cotton farmer, the truck farmer, every man who gets his living from the soil, finds his best assistance in the woman who live3 with, him. The men may give their strength and their affection to the land which they till, but the women give their very life blood to* the earth from which comes our sustenance. Not only must they work beyond their strength, but Jhey must bear the babies -which are tp be the farmers of the future, and many of them have yielded up their lives to a multiplicity of tasks too great for their doing. Woman's Dream Sown With jevery crop some woman’s dream is sown; with every rain some wife’s tears fall; with every drought some mother's hopes are blasted. But through hardship and adversity the women work on; faithful, devoted, untiring, often poor and forgotten, offering their youth and their lives as as sacrifice to hard work, worry and neglect, rarely appreciated. never paid, and seldom praised. The small farmer’s wife is the greatest of all heroines. She contributes more and gets less from her country than any other citizen.

MOTHER WINS IN FIGHTFOR BABY Child Nearly Died While Held on Ellis Island. By VEA Service SOMERVILLE, Mass.. July 26. — Mrs. Paul Barbara holds up her baby, Malio, as an horrible example of the red tape that makes Ellis Island and operation of the immigration law a terrible experience for women and little children. Malio probably will get well now, but for the three w eeks he was held on Ellis Island with his mother his life was despaired of. Immigration officials told the mother she could come into the United States, but that her baby could not. All that time Olympia and Donetta, Mrs. Barbara's other two children, waited here. If their beby brother had died on Ellis Island, there would have been no question of their mother's return to them. Mrs. Barbara was born In the United States. She went to Italy on a visit. Malio was born there. By the time she returned the Italian quota had been filled. And for that reason the wise old heads at Ellis Island said the mother could return, but that the baby was "excess quota.”

BACHELOR TAKES BOYS TO CANADA Any Youngster May Qualify for the Journey, By Times Special DETROIT, Mich., July 26.—George E. Buchanan, wealthy Detroit cachelor, whose hobby is assisting boys to make a trip to Alaska, announces that in July, 1925, he will take 100 of them to Alaska, if that number, or less, qualify' for the Journey. In 1923 Mr. Buchanan took fortysix boys through the Canadian Pacific Rockies to Vancouver, Skagway, Lake Bennett, White Horse Rapids and Miles Canyon on the Yukon River and Lake Atlin, British Columbia, and the boys were enthusiastic about the attractions of North America’s "Land of the Midnight Sun.” Mr. Buchanan’s plan is this: Each boys earns $125, thereby learning business methods and thrift; the boy's parents advance $125, and Mr. Buchanan loans the boy $125, which he can pay back when he reaches manhood, or before, if he so desires. Each $125 returned is banked to help another boy see Alaska, a trip to which Mr. Buchanan considers a liberal- education. In Detroit the boys sell ash baskets, coal, coke, pencils, etc. Elsewhere they can earn their money in any legitimate way. The entire $375 is placed in each boy’s hands andyhe buys his tickets, makes his reservations, buys $25 worth of New York drafts, has to identify himself at the banks In Alaska, and, in short, not only has a w-onderful trip, but also gets a great lesson in thrift and the rudiments of a sound business education. Any boy anywhere, who actually earns his one-third and whose parents advance’ another third, may qualify for the Alaska trip.

John Ainsley, a man of education and breeding, becomes a master crook —preying upon other thieves. In arranging with a “fence" to dispose of a box of jewels which he stole from tha White Eagle, a crook. Ainsley is overheard by Swede Thomassen. a murdererin hiding. Thomassen comes to AlnSley’s apartir-„-nt and demands half of tha Jewels. He makes himself completely at home in Ainsley s apartment and waits for the money. Ainsley telephones the White Eagle, telling him that the man who robed him and a partner will be dividing the jewels at 8 o’clock in his—Ainsleys—apartment. Then he tries to hold Thomassen In his apartment until the White Eagle arrives. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY A"’l ND Thomassen was shrewd enough to realize that any attack upon me. would be better deferred until just as he was leaving. My servant, despite my instructions to her, might come to the apartment. Electric-light inspectors, the janitor—some one like this might call, ard if I were present to receive him, embarrassment might arise for the hiding murderer. , I had persuaded him that he should stay heie until ten o’.clock, so I felt fairly confident that he would make no attack upon me until shortly before that hour. And the White Eagle was due at nine. We dined, the loathsome Thomassen and myself,, off viands that I prepared. And at a quarter to nine we had finished and were smoking after-dinner cigarets in my bedroom. I had advised sitting in here, because it was the most secluded room in the apartment. And Thomassen, as the hour for his departure approached, began to yield to the strain of the situation. A murderer contemplating another murder —I was certain that fie Intended to kill me and take all tne Anderson jewels—lt did not seem absurd to him that onp room should be less conspicuous than another. It was the farthest room from the entrance door, and anything said or done was less likely to be heard In my bedroom. Indeed, he thought that I was playing into diis hands. At just before nine o’clock I started an argument. I said that he had

taken the more valuable of the jewels and that we oyght to divide them again. From his pockets he produced his share. lie was glad for the dispute. He wanted to work himself up, cold-blooded though he was, to a point where my murder would seem more justifiable. Even men like Thomassen have their queer code. HIS GUN LEAPED FROM HIS POCKET. I laid my share with his upon a table. As I did so, I heard the faintest 'kounds, the mere clicking of a lock as a key turned in it. And so I raised my voice, drowning the sound. “Damm it, Thomassen," I cried, "you can’t get away with this." His blue eyes, slightly bloodshot, turned upon me with a glare of sneering wrath. "I can’t, eh?” he demanded. His hand went to his hip pocket. He was in his shirt sleeves. In pretended fear I backed away from him until I reached the window. And as

I did so, the White Eagle, followed by that companion of his who had masqueraded ns a hunchback the last time I saw him, Lotier, entered the room. I uttered an exclamation of simulated surmise. Thomassen whirled and saw the intruders. His gun leaped from his pocket, but the White Eagle fired first. I heard Thomassen’s death-cry, and then I went through the window, smashing the glass. I dropped to the ledge" below. I broke the twine that secured the clumsy effigy In place and hurled it tor the ground below. And as it fell, I emitted a shriek, the despairing cry of a man hurtling to death. Xnd then my effigy thumped upon the ground. The books with which I had weighted it made it sound like a human body. I heard an exclamation from the room. Clinging desperately to the ledge. I Jooked up. ’The White Eagle's face appeared through the broken glass. He looked down; ,in the shadows below he saw a dark mass; .he took it for me. Perhaps you who read my memoirs understand now why I had to wait until after dark. In daylight my bundle of boots and pillows and overcoat would not have deceived him for a moment. But it deceived him now. He uttered an ejacluation of erocious delight. He turned back into the room. And like a cat I rose upon the ledge, swung to the window-sill, and before Lotier colud cry a warning, I was upon the White Eagle, had wrenched his revolver from his hand and dominated the situation. "The alarm will be raised in five minutes," I told him. “But unless you give me two minutes’ start, I’ll shoot." t The White Eagle stared at me. His deep-set eyes were bewildered. "Nom de Dieu, why this? It Is you who telephoned me to come here. I know your voice. Why?” I swept the jewels from the table, stuffed them into my pockets, and backed to the door. “It Is too long a story, my dear Due,” I answered. "Nevertheless, one day you shall telj it to me,” he threatened. From the doorway I ls.ughed at him. "Perhaps, Monsieur le Due. Meantime —two minutes. And read tomorrow’s papers; perhaps then you will understand.” Then I went through my livingroom, through the front door and took the stsurs three at a time. Outside, I hailed a taxi. As we drove into the park, I saw the White Eagle and Lotier emerge from the building. But there was no other taxi. They could escape, but they could not catch me—for both of which facta I

was extremely glad, for It had not beers my plan to jeopardize the White Eagle. I had merely intended to see that justice was done to Thomassen. The promise exacted from me prevented me from executing that justice with my own hand. And I have explained the obvious reasons why I could not call in the police. How had I known that I would not be the victim also of the White Eagle's rage. I had not known. I had taken deliberately the chance that I, too, would be killed. Why? Have I not said that when I surrendered honesty I clung to honor? Could I permit a beast like Thomassen to escape the just penalty of his dreadful crime? Coul I aid in such escape? Had I expected to regain the Anderson jewels, once the White Eagle set his eyes upon them? In answer to that I can only say that I had prepared myself to die In their defense. For the money that they represented meant rehabilitation, the abandonment of this life. And I was still young enough to think that miracles do sometimes happen. Os course, Thomassen’s body would be found in my apartment. The police would seek for me. Suspicion would inevitably be aroused. Leedon might talk. Even in that excited moment of my escape, I realized that matters would not be as easy as they would have been had not Thomassen come to blackmail me. Nevertheless I thought that they would be easy enough. I was a food. But then, I was a thief. And a. tlrfc* Is a fool. But I did not look at future difficulties then. I was wondering If the White Eagle, reading Thomassen’s identity in the morrow's papers, would appreojate the fact that I had deliberateV made him an instrument of justice. T thought that he would; the iYench aro notable for their romantic imagination. The White Eagle, if he knew all the facts, would appreciati them, and admire me. Indeed, I admired myself. I had extricated myself from a nasty situation with credit. Certainly! I consider that my execution of Thomassen—it was an execution —is the most highly commendable act of my life. I had kept my word to a murderer, but I had also kept faith wjth myself. My respected forebears might condemn my mode of life, but they would forgive me this chapter. For I had risked my own life rather than let Thomassen go free. I ask no praise for the things I do; but this time, in the matter °f Thomassen, you must withhold your cen-
