SWO Anderson young men are singing, “We’ll peep no more, my lady." Girls at Falls Park at Pendleton complained men had bored holes in the partition, separating the men's and women’s dressing rooms. One Anderson girl, pluckier than the rest, shot a quantity of ammonia through the chink. She caugnt two. They face charges. Wiley Gilmore of Rushville says he is fond of knife-throwing acts, but only in circuses. When his wife tried it, he sued for divorce. She threw at him. Here’s a sour record. Mrs. Orren Anderson of near Clinton raised the record pickle—eighteen inches long and a girth of nine inches. John Smith, hotel proprietor at Hartford City, ordered anew sign like this: “Eat here” in the center in gold letters.

IDENTIFYING WAR DEAD’S JEWELRY IS GIGANTIC IDE Many Things Taken From Bodies Sent Home for Families, By ROBERT TALLEY Timet Wathington Bureau, 1322 A’eic York J.re. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. —Os all the queer jobs in Washington, proba My the queerest is held by a grayhaired man who labors alone in a little room, crammed high with lockers and file cases, on the seventh floor of the Government’s general accounting office. Passersby who glance in the door often see liim peering intently through a magnifying glass at a small scrap of faded paper. Or maybe he's hunting for the numbers in a rusty watch, or checking over a strange assortment of, tarnished JeiV'J Mry, bits of paper money, bloodstained coins and other odds ends. He is JJ. S. Robbins, to whom the Army sends the personal effects of deceased soldiers to be turned over to their heirs. Locating Heirs Difficult Hundreds of such packets have come back from France, their consents having been taken from the oockets or bodies g£< soldiers dug up on the battlefields for transfer to ?emeteries. Making positive identification of the property, keeping it out of the hands of unauthorized claimants end finding the rightful heirs offers opportunity for some clever detective work. Locating the heirs now—this ’ong after the war—is often a long ind difficult job. Many Things Found “What are some bf the things found on the bodies?" Robbmins repeated. "Why, most everything you can imagine—jewelry, watches, money, letters, photographs, insurance papers, razors, bibles, cigarette cases. Liberty bonds, wedding rings, playing cards, rosaries, and even ialse teeth. "Money, jewelry and such things have a real value, and the sentimental value of things like photographs. bib!°s, wedding rings, lockets containing a wisp of hair, etc., can hardly be estimated. They often mean a lot to a wife or a mother. Last Will Discovered Let’s look into a few of the packets from dead men that come across Robbins’ desk. A "Last Will and Testament.” 250 francs, a receipt for $61.25, a ring inscribed “Virtue Unites, Death Cannot Separate, 11-2-16,” and sundry papers. A badly-corroded wrist watch with moldy leather strap, a halfdozen letters from home postmarked *n the summer of 1918 and faded almost into illegibility; a small nrinted card (name written in) read'ng “Announcing the Birth of a Baby Girl, Leona May, July 11. 1918. Weight, 8 Pouds;’’ som French and American money. A gold locket containing a lock of hair, evidently from the head of a child; a pocket bible; a ring inscribed “May God Protect You;” a broken and clogged fountain pen. And so it goes, each little packet ■with its own little story; each little story with its own’litttle heart throb.

FEATHER MITE IS PDULTRYNIENACE Only Recently Discovered by Purdue Professor, By XKA £rrvice LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 25—Discovery of anew poujtry parasite, called the feather mite, is announced by Prof. C. R. Cleveland, of the Department of Entomology at the Purdue experiment station here. According to Prof. Cleveland, this mite has ajready been reported at farms in NeW York, New Jersey, Maryland. Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. It spreads rapidly and lives and breeds on the birds. The common roost mite remains on the fowls only at night. Beeause of their continual drain on the poultry, day and night, these pests are much more dangerous than other mites, frequently kijling the birds outright. They may be found on all parts of the body, hut accumulate most at the base of the tail and below the vent. Their life cycle, from egg to adult is only about eight to twelve days, so Infestation develops rapidly. During warm weather a careful, dipping treatment is a good cure, the dip consisting of one ounce of soap and two ounces of finely divided flowers of sulphur to a gallon of tepid water. The soap should be dissolved first and the sulphur then stirred in. In cqld weather the dip cannot be used effectively. Instead, liberal dusting with finely powdered sulphur is recommended.

BEOIN HERE TODAY •The “Nervous Wreck, art eccentric young easterner, la driving Sally Morgan from her fathers ranch to the station whe nthey run out of gasoline At the point of a gun the Wreck takes five gallons from a passing car. Later Pharlie McSween. foreman of a ranch along the route, hides the Wreck s car and forces Sally to act a ranch*, cook. Then they discover that Mr. Underwood, the ownof the ranch, was in the oar they held up. Sheriff Bob Wells. Sally's fiance, is unwittingly searching the countryside for the “bandits" who held up Underwood. Chester Underwood. son of the owner, finds the hidden car and identifies it as being the one owned by the bandits who held them up McSween. fearful of losing a good took, denies before Underwood that he knows how the ear came to be on the ranch. The Wreck and Sally discuss making an escape In Underwood s big car. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY “I could make him put the valves back,” said the Wreck, “but I couldn’t give him any good reason for it. I suppose I’d have to lock him up after he did It. to keep him from telling.’ / ytilly dismissed the idea with a wave of her hand. “If we can’t find the wheel to our own car,” she said, “what do you say about trying to make it on horses?” “Perfectly simple.” She was doubtful about that. "I’m not sure about you,” she said. He began ruffling with familiar symptoms. “Henry, there’s po need for you to be sensitive about it. You’re not supposed to be a good rider, any more than I’m a good chemist. You haven't had the training. I think you’d make a beautiful rider in time, but you’re a very bad one just now. You suffer agony every time you get on a horse.” “You haven’-t heard me squealing,” he said, sharply. “No; I haven’t. You wouldn’t squeal if you were dying. But so far as making a getaway goes It’s not a question of squealing. It’s a question of falling off.” He flushed painfully, but she could see-no use In dodging the facts. “I’ve seen you fall off four times,” she said; “three times in one day.”

"But the second ride I only fell off once," he declared, stubbornly. "I showed Improvement, didn't I?” “You fall off any time the horse stops suddenly, Henry." "All right, I admit it," he said. "But after we get started we’re not going to do any stopping, are we? And after we've made the getaway,, what difference does it make if I do fall off?" m “SOMETIMES YOU CAN BE PERFECTLY LOVELY.” There was something about his stubbornness that secretly delighted her, but she did not mention it. “Well, we may have to try it,” she said, "if you really don’t mind falling off." "I don’t mind.” They decided, if it came to S. question of horses, that the Wreck would take Charley McSween’s big bay, while Sally would take the rangy animal that Jerome Underwood rode. "They’re the two best horses on the ranch,” she said, "with the exception of that ugly roan that one of the boys rides. But he’s out riding fence somewhere, so we can’t get it. If we’re going to steal horses, we want good ones.” "Sure. The best,” affirmed the

Wreck, speaking as a connoisseur. ‘‘Well have to leave most of our baggage behind, of course. We'll have to travel light and fast—as fast ad we can, anyhow.” “Don't you worry about me. I'm all right so long as they keep going.” “And of course we can't start until it's dark and everybody is asleep.” “Suits me.’’ The vision of getting away, even though it was not beyond the rough planning stage, brightened her won derfully. She became as cheerful as though she were already far on the toad. Os course, she knew, it would be an awful ordeal for the Wreck, but he was so willing, even eager, to undergo the torture that it reconciled her to the prospect. Whatever befell him. she knew that he would take \i. standing up, like a man —except,' of course, when he happened to fall off. The Wreck, despite his brave front, was not looking forward to the exploit with Joy, even though it might bring discomfiture to their enemles. He would never love a horse. He knew too well what they did to him. But with Sally determined to make an early departure, he was the last person to interpose any objection as to method. If it became necessary to crawl all the way to the Bar-B on hands and knees, or even to Chicago, he would have taken the same attitude. It was his business to "See that Sally reached her destination, whatever it was, and he proposed to attend to It. “I’ll put up all the grub that we can carry,” said Sally "That'll be more Important thap spare clothes. It will be mostly sandwiches, I’m afraid. What kind do you like?” “Any kind.” "But you must have some preference.” "I’m not particular.” She beamed at him, and he did not know why. "You’re not fussy about your cooking, are you, Henry?” “Not that I know of.” "It's not the main thing in your life, is it?” “No.” “And if you were marrying a girl that isn’t the first thing you’d think about?”^ What in thunder was she driving at, he wondered? Was she making fun of him? He was not marrying cooks or anybody else. Why couldn’t she let him alone? “No; I wouldn't think about it at all,” he answered, rather stupidly. “Would I be supposed to?” She laughed without restraint; he was suc.i a queer, awkward person.

“No; it would be rather nice not to think about it,” she said. "But, Just the same, I'm going to put you up the nicest sandwiches I know how to make.” “All right. Anything at all." “And I may eveu expect you to praise them,” “Sure, I will.” She laughed again, hut there was not the least hint of teasing in her eyes. "Henry Williams.” she said, “sometimes you can be perfectly lovely. No: I know you don’t un derstand. It makes it better because you don’t ’’ He had no answer for that, and was uncomfortable. For some rea son he could not explain, he was red in the face; he could feel It. He could not stand women, and he would never learn how. “I guess I’ll have another look for that wheel." he mumbled. "All right. Goodluck, old-timer.” She matched him go. a half amused, half-puzzled look in her eyes. There was a hint of motherliness In the smile on her lips; but it was not all motherliness, either. The Wreck was making another search of the outbuildings, sqmn'ing through his spectacles at places where the wheel might possibly be. He had looked in all the likely places, so as he could remember; now he tried looking in the unlikely ones. The part that puzzled him most was his patience and lack of temper. Ordinarily, he ought to have been fuming, with his nerves raw and his muscles twitching with irritation. But a stolid mood seemed to have settled upon him, and he continued his task with a phlegmatic calm that astonished him. He saw Chester Underwood emerging from the shed where the flivver stood on its crutch, but took no notice of him. There was nothing that Chester could contribute In the way of Information, and'he felt that it was politic to let him alone. The more he searched the more probable it seemed that he would ride away on Charley McSween’s horse. He would not allow the small matter of a bet to detain him, although he would have found pleasure in triumphing over the*foreman of the Underwood ranch. Sally informed him at lunchtime that the sandwiches had been made and put away, and that she hoped he would not complain about them. He merely shrugged. She also told him that she was going for a little ride in the afternoon with Chester. He shrugged again, but there was a scowl that went with it. She did. He saw them ride away toward the hills, and then spent a part of a miserable afternoon in fur-

ther quest for the missing wheel. It was none of his business, of course, but it did not seem to him that a girl who was engaged to the sheriff, or anybody else, ought to be galloping over the range with any young man who happened to come along. The afternoon of Jerome Underwood was equally unpleasant. He wanted to get hojd of Bob Wells and acquaint him with discoveries, but the sheriff was somewhere on the road and could not be reached by telephone. It seemed to Underwood that the whole system of suppressing crime was unnecessarily primitive. He saw the situation entirely in terms of New York; he expected metropolitan service. He fumed and exploded, and he shot grim innuendoes at Charley McSween, who maintained his calm, although he began be sorry that he had ever bothered himself about obtaining an emergency cook. Sally came back from her ride, flushed and charming. She told Chester that It had been delightful, every foot of the way. even saying It in the presence of the Wreck, who happened to be In the vicinity of the corral, apparently styi looking for an essential part of his flivver.

came serious and restless. She waited awhile for Henry Williams; shs had something to say. But tha Wreck was evidently minded to keep aloof. He did not appear until aftei* she had sent Timothy to find him, with a message that she wanted to talk to him. He came into tha kitchen with a sullen look on hia face and -without a word, began putting on his apron, grimly resigned to the performance of at least on more hateful task. “Never mind the apron yet,"* sha said. “There’s something more important."
