Attention Farmers Why remain in the North and stay in doors six months in the year consuming what you raise during the next six months. Go South where you ean work out doors every month in the year, and where you are producing something the year round. If you are n ttock raiser you know your stock are now “eating their heads off" and, besides, have to be protected from the rigors of winter by expensive shelter. Economical stock feeding requires the combination of both flesh-forming and fat-forming food; in certaiu proportions. Alabama and Florida produce in abundance the velvet bean and cassava, the first a flesh producer and the latter a fat producer, and they are the ’cheapest and best fattening materials known to the world. -.More money can be made and with less labor, in general farming, fruit and berry growing and truck gardening along our road in the South than in any other section in the Union.

ALL FOR A TITLE; or THE BANKER’S WARD.

CHAPTER Vl.—(Continued.) Hie day of departure arrived. The oblique rays of the sun already cast longer ffiiadowa, but no carriage nor any sort of vehicle appeared which vai to convey Beatrice and Julia to Stratmore Castle. Beatrice waa becoming impatient when the banker appeared, excusing the delay by saying the coachman hod misunderstood hie order*. “However,” he eonclnf d, “I secured a good livery rig. Ah! there it comes now,” he exclaimed, ae the vehicle quickly drew up In front of the house. A few minutes later Beatrice bade farewell to her step-father and Count Bozell. “An elegant equipage. Where did yon get it?” inquired the girl, pleasantly. “Never mind. Just allow the count to assist you into it. It is getting late.” Beatrice hastily pressed a parting kiss upon her step-father’s brow; then extended her hands to the count. “I cannot give up the hope of seeing you again, Miss Albenson,” aaid he, glancing toward her with a peculiar look. Hie door was closed, and the high-spir-ited horses started forward. They dashed past the rows of houses; then past fields and forests, towards the distant hills and valleys. “What a fine span of horses,” remarked Beatrice after a time. “If we continue this speed we will arrive before 8 o’clock. I hope to send a letter to Victor by the evening mail, informing him of our arrival. I feel so uneasy at not having received any news from hhn yesterday, and I cannot get rid of the thought that Marsden may have detected our secret "

She did not finish the sentence, for at that moment the vehicle came to a sudden stop. Darkness had already fallen, obscuring trees and shrubs. Consternation waa depicted on the features of the women, while figures with masked faces surrounded the coach. From Beatrice’s lips escaped a cry of terror; unconsciously she sank back upon the cushions, and then a muscular arm attempted to lift her up from the seat. Julia intended to reeist. She endeavored to protect her young mistress, when a voice, from behind a black mask, whispered; “Be calm, Julia—trust youraelf to m# and all will be well.” For a moment the maiden was dumbfounded. Her Kenneth with a gang of llghwaymen! Then, suddenly, she unlerstood all, and, to keep up a deception, pretended to resist. “Here, partner,” called a rough vtiica, “let me attend to her—take the other one.” Kenneth —for It waa he—complied, and then unceremoniously lifted Beatrice from the corner of the carriage where ahe waa lying unconscious and placed her in front of him on a Bteed, while Julia finally accompanied her unconscious mistress and Kenneth. Two other men. who had held the carriage horses until then, now let loose of the bits, mounted their homes and formed the advance guard.

CHAPTER VII. On the morning of that same day Mr. Marsden. on entering the bank, a httlje earlier than asaaii, owing to the manipulatlon*of the clock by Bozell the evening previous, noticed that Victor Raymond had not jet arrived. He ebook hia head Indignantly, and began to unbutton hia coat, when Follet, who had. been waiting from hia place of observation, darted forward, saying politely: “Allow me to aeaiat yon with your coat, air. Sorry Mr. Raymond has not yet arrived.” “Late, eh?” “No, not that, air; although tha good young man may have his faults, lack of punctuality is not one of them, and you can perhaps excuse him this time, owing to your earlier appearance.” Meanwhile the conning fellow had examined the coat and soon detected the hidden pocket. “So,” he muttered, “Bozell’s suspicions were correct. Ah, Mr. Marsden, jn*T I have tha privilege of an Interview with yon—that ia, providing your valuable time will permit it?” he questioned boldly- “ Anything important?” inquired Mareden, sharply, fixing his eyea upon his employe. He anticipated he waa to be importuned for an advancement again, and did not feel Inclined to be troubled at that moment. Follet understood the current of his thoughts. will leave the affair to your own judgment, for it concerns yon most,” responded Roltet, not in the least embarrassed by Marsden’* ill humor. “Please follow me," replied Marsden, and a few moments later both entered the banker’s private apartment. “Weil, go ahead, but be concise. “Certainly, as far aa the delicate points permit. May I ask ths question, If you can give any explanation for Mr. Raymond’s great attention towards you? I mean, what is his motive?” “There is no necessity of a cause for auch actions. I think that the respectful duty of an employe will explain that satisfactorily.” “As I remarked before, I will not take the liberty of criticising. I only wish to inform you that Mr. Raymond take? such (unusual pains with your coat that I—beg pardon, sir, but I have plainly seen him abstract something about the size of a bank note somewhere about the coat collar.” “Well, well; what is it you haven’t seen? *Do you suppose I carry a bank around with me? Undoubtedly you are in error." “Convince yourself, sir. I have nothing more to add,” and with a low bow be withdrew. Hardly hsd die door closed behind him, when Marnden rose apd secured his coat from ths cloak room. “This man, Follet, Is a snake,” he ssottered, “whom I would like to crush jflm a worm in mytpath. He has a dead-

Author of

that. But can he have contrived a scheme to do injury to his enemy! I believe him capable of doing almost anything if it comet to the point. However, let us see.” He went through the pockets of the overcoat, and then, as he finally examined the collar, his finger tips detected Hie secret pocket and ths small slip of paper it contained. Nervously he pnt on his glasses, while his eyes expanded ae he recognised Beatrice’s handwriting. Beatrice and Victor, he argued, had deceived him shamefully; had mocked, laughed—yea, he had even been taken for a dupe. Marsden became terribly enraged. How ahould be take revenge? W hat punishment should he mete out to gain aatisfactkm? “Follet is a smarter fellow then I thought,” argued Mansden. “I wonder how many of these love letters I have carried back and forth! A good many, I suppose. If the contents of the letters were as small as their size, both are easily satisfied. One bank note!—does not money rule the world ? Ah! why not get Victor Raymond in my power?” An evil thought made his heart beat wildly. His conscience was overpowered with a feverish thirst for revenge. Yes, by a simple act he could cast Victor Raymond from society—brapded as a common thief. Marsden aroused himself, and rang the bell loudly and vehemently. Instantly Raymond appeared, ready to offer his services.

“Call Mr. Follet, please.” “Yes, dr. Shall I take charge of your coat? Please excuse my tardiness.” “Follet,” began the banker, when the clerk appeared and Victor had retired, “you were not quite mistaken in your suspicions regarding Raymond. But take heed, my friend, foe out of respect to my partner, Harold Raymond, I do not wish to have anything become public. And in caae Raymond should be discharged ” A triumphant smile overspread Edward Follet’a face aa he hurriedly interrogated: “I am always at your command, Mr. Marsden.” “And' now, if you will judiciously follow my advice and a vacancy should occur, why,, you shall have it.” These words began to awaken Edward Follet’a most hopeful expectations and, after having repeatedly assured his superior that he would find him always at his command, he withdrew. A few moments later Herbert Marsden left the bank, carrying with him Beatrice’s letter, after which Victor Raymond cast a wistful look, thinking it secure in the little secret pocket. Then aa he took his seat at one of the numerous desks, his eyes, by chance, caught Edward Follet’s malicious smile. Marsden repaired to the club room without delay and ordered black coffee, but “quite hot,’’ he added. At this hour the place was quite deserted, a fact upon which he had calculated. The waiter quickly served the coffee, and, as Marsden waa alone, he drew forth Beatrice’s letter - fr#n his pocket and held it over the vapor arising from the beverage until it was sufficiently moistened to permit opening it without injury to the envelope. The content* of the letter aroused his passions again like a storm. She plainly indicated her aversion towards himself, confessed an undying love for Victor Raymond and sincerely hoped to see him at the Stratmores’ before ahe returned home. 'Jala deadened Marsden’e last spark of conscience. Not a moment would he hesitate now to put into execution the wicked design he had concocted; and, taking a twentydollar note from his pocketbook, ha inclosed it with Beatrice's letter In the envelope. After replacing the missive in its former place, he pnt on his overcoat and left the club room. An hour later he re-entered the bank, and this time Raymond did not fail to proffer hia assisance, to which his employer quietly submitted. Blindly Victor fell into the trap laid by the banker. While the former took up his duties with a beaming smile, the latter entered the cloak room, secured hia coat, removed Beatrice’s letter and the plot was inaugurated. Aa Harold Raymond did not pnt in an appearance that morning, Marsden called upon him at hia residence, a mile or so distant, and demanded an interview. Harold Raymond received his partner in the library and, a few minutes later, both seated themselves at the fireplace. “Well, friend, what is the good news?” inquired Harold, good naturedly. “Not very encouraging,” replied Mamden. "You know for many years we have conducted our business faithfully and honestly, and without any discord; have w# not?” “Yes—but you will not resign, I hope? Just think, Marsden, you are the main support of our banking institution, which ha* always brought us good returns.” “No; not that —I have sad news to impart.” “What! You db not mean a crisis? Anything in a financial way?” “No, no; but I am loth to inform you. A note has been abstracted from my coat at tha bank. My overcoat was in the cloak room, and when I shortly afterward pnt it on, upon searching for the note, I found it missing. It was a twen-ty-dollar note I had had for some time, and kept as a memento. I have the numbers of the bill stamped indelibly on my memory. Only one person entered the room—Victor Raymond!” Dead silence enaned, which was broken by Harold. "Whatl My own nephew? No, no; I will never believe it without infallible proof.” “Alaal ths proof is not lacking.” “1 will only believe it when the note is found In my nephew’s possession,” haughtily replied Harold. “Victor’s strictly honest behavior has so far gained for his raiativss their greatest esteem. This charge, ts promulgated, would ruin him.” Mtrsdsn now regretted not haring In-

serted a larger amount, bat his object had been to impress upon Victor** mind that Beatrice had given him the money as a birthday present from her . pin money. A twemty-dollar note, he argued, would be nothing unusual, while a larger amount might arouse his suspicion, and, besides, his birthday had happened to occur that day. “It can be proven,” spoke np Manden again. “Yon are acquainted with your nephew’s habits—he ia ait home now. Please take my carriage, Harold; it is at your disposal.” “Thanks! I will accept. My illness shall not prevent my attempting to ascertain the facts of the case.” CHAPTER VIII. With trepidation Harold Raymond entered hia brother’s residence. The drawing room, though plain, waa neatly and substantially furnished, and made a meet comfortable impression. The old general, reading a book, was seated at a big oaken table in the center of the room, which was lighted by a handing lamp. Hie wife sat by his ride, her head bent over come fancy handiwork, while Victor Raymond, engaged in writing a letter to Beatrice, was a silent companion. The latter intended to return thanks for the note he had received as a birthday gift. The two brothers, although vastly different In their respective characteristics, had always lived in perfect harmony with each other. Harold Raymond was in a quandary, and although he was greatly perturbed, he knew that he did not dare to mention the affair or reproach Victor while he was in the presenco of his father, who deeply loved his son; and, therefore, concluded to ask Victor to accompany him to the club room, which request was at once accepted, and they repaired thither. Harold had conceived a scheme by which he could elicit the desired information from Victor without the necessity of a direct question. He ordered refreshments and then felt for his pocketbook. “Pshaw!” he exclaimed, “I bhve neglected to bring some money with me; will you please help me out?” Without hesitation Victor handed him his pocketbook, saying: “Certainly, my dear uncle; help yourself.” His uncle, after paying the bill and casting a discriminating glance at tha contents, said: “By the way, Victor, as I happen to b* without money I would ask a small loan. I will take this twenty until this afternoon.” With the words he drew forth Maisden’s trweuty-dollar note! Victor could not conceal his anxiety and hastily exclaimed; “Beg pardon, uncle, but I cannot let you have that twenty; it does not belong to me. You wili find other bills on the left side.” Victor wished to preserve Beatrice’s gift as a keepsake. Sadly Harold gazed upon the bank note; the awakened suspicion drew a shadow over his tortured mind, and the words came icily from bis bloodless laps: “What, not yours? How does it happen to be in your possession then? Whoa* is it?” Viotor had never mentioned hi* lova for Beatrice to hia uncle; only Ms parents and a few others were aware of It His parents had jealously kept it within the family sphere. “It belongs to oitfe of my friends, and I must kindly refuse to answer further questions.” (To be continued.)

QUAINT CITY ELECTION.

wicket Gates, Sweet Hrrbs and Nose* Kaye Are Features. An interesting old-fashioned ceremony will be witnessed in the Guildhall on the occasion of the election of bridgemaster by the liverymen of the guilds, in the room of the late Alfred Norris, says the London Express.' Outside the Guildhall a qualnt-look-lng barricade consisting of a dozen wicket gates is to be erected. Over ths gates will be painted the names of various livery companies and behind them will be the beadles, who are supposed j;o recognize each liveryman as he demands admission through ths gate over which the name of his company figures. Inside the hall more barriers will have to be passed and more challenging will go on. At the back there is room for a couple of hundred of ths public. The platform at the eastern end will be strewn with sweet herbs, a relic of the disinfecting methods of plague times, and the members of the cirie procession will carry old-fashioned English nosegays of bright-colored, sweetsmelling flowers. The election proceeds in much the usual way until the show of hands is taken. Then when the recorder says “So many of you as will have” So-and-so, a painted board with the candidate's, name is hoisted by means of a pulley to a good height, so that every man who can see may know for whom he is voting. 'There are four candidates for ths office and, singularly enough, not on# of them has had any training in ths building of bridges or of keeping them clean and passable. There are two bridgemasters who receive £230 and £2OO a year each and their duties mainly consist In presenting a report to the livery, "in common hall” once a year showing that London. Biackfriars and Southwark bridges are safe and sound and are kept in good condition. It is the office of junior bridgemaster at £2OO a year which is to be filled.

RECORD OF THE WEEK

INDIANA INCIDENTS TERSELY TOLD. Bnidde Want* Band Knstc at Hia Funeral Systematic Bobbery of Railroad by Employee—Hoover Hanged at Michigan City—A Day’a Mishaps, “Men often make mistakes, but who has made a greater mistake than I?” wrote Dr. J. M. Willis, one of the most prominent physicians of Alamo, before he took his position before a mirror and blew out his brains in the office building he had just had erected. The suicide caused a sensation. Tncked to the folding bed in his room was a large piece of paper, on which were written some startling requests, which will be carried out. “I want my body cremated at St. Louis,” wrote the suicide. “The act which lam about to carry out is not the thought of a moment, but has been in contemplation for some time. I want n first-class band of national reputation employed to be present and furnish music for the exercises at my funeral, the Indianapolis military or Ringgold baud at Terre Haute. I would not want any Crawfordsville band employed except ns a last resort, because they are never under good organization and their music is not entertaining.” Rob Railroad for Year*. The police of Indianapolis have uncovered one of the most sensational cases of systematic robbery of a railroad company that has come to light within recent years. More than forty employes of the Big Four company bnve apparently been engaged in the nefarious business which has extended over a period of seven years. Goods, so far accounted for, amount to over $15,000, and new discoveries are being made every day. The thieves are freight conductors and other employes connected with the freight department. Mr. Kleeman, claim adjuster, of (Cleveland, Ohio, came to Indianapolis to confer with the detectives. He found evidence for the arrest of railroad men in different cities between Indianapolis and Bellefontaine, Ohio, one in Pittsburg and one in Philadelphia. Mr. Kleemaa. said most of the stolen goods were sold in small towns along the line of the railroad. Day Crowded with Mishapa. In Marion Friday was marked by accidents in which thirteen people were injured. Five were injured, four probably fatally, when the dwelling of G. B. Hight was wrecked by a natural gas explosion. The other mishaps were: Forrest Slieeley, arm torn off in a fodder shredder; William Lemons, probably fatally injured by a falling log; Clyde Rush, a pupil in the public school, accidentally stabbed by a fellow pupil; Lola Carver, struck by a street car and seriously injured; Amel Cramer, seriously injured by fall; Fred Rose, John Phillips and Elmer Ross, injured in the oil field. Hoover Meeta Death Penalty. With expressions of sorrow on his lips for the murder of Frank Sutton, his father-in-law, Edward Hoover of Indianapolis marched unflinchingly to the gallows at the State prison in Michigan City, and paid the penalty of his crime. Just before the execution, in a talk with the chaplain, Hoover said he had just realized the enormity of his crime, and was very sorry he had killed Sutton, who had always treated him right. Hoover’s wife left him because of his quarrelsome disposition, and in a fight with Sutton over this fact the latter was shot and •tilled. Colored Boy Shoot* Child. Michael Ingraham, an 11-year-old colored boy, living near Lawrenceburg, when ordered from the home of John Childers, deliberately fired a load of buckshot through the head of Mila Childers, 5 years of age. The boy escaped to the woods, but was persuaded to surrender. When asked why he had killed the child he aaid he wanted to kill some one and it might ns well be Mila as anybody else. State Items of Interest. Harry Ward died from burns received in the Montpelier fire. School rooms in Wabash are provided with a tin cup for each pupil. Fielding McKowan, 91, has brought suit for divorce from his wife, 89, in Marion. Labor troubles have started in Muncie over the organization of a blacksmiths’ uuion. Harvey Ralya, a prominent inventor and manufacturer of Anderson, has become violently insane. Kokomo ia having such a boom that laborers cannot be found to do the work that contractors have on hand. A brother-in-law of Edward Hoover i* circulating a petition to have Gov. Durblu commute the prisoner’s sentence. John Hayden was sentenced by Judge Cobb at Vinceunes to from one to twen-ty-one years in State’s prison for arson. The City Council of Marion has passed on ordinance regulating the sliced of automobiles in the city. The limit is five miles per hour. In Goshen the saloon fight is so bitterly waged that whitecap notices hare been sent to Rev. Alexander McLaughlin, who is managing the remonstrance fight Seymour is to hold a special election next month to decide whether or not a 2 per cent subsidy will -be given the Indiana Central electric railroad company. Twenty-five years ago Alfred Pounder traded a cornet in Hull, England, for a violin owned by a lad just arrived from Germany, and after regaining it from Jacob Geisß of Elkhart, accidentally brushed away dirt, revealing the signature of Joseph Guarnerius, Cremonae, dated 1743. Blanche Kaiser, a young lady of Wabash, dropped dead while sewing at her home. It is presumed she was stricken with heart disease, though it was not known that she suffered from any disease. She waa 18 years old. George Theaman, alias George Bender, of Chicago was arrested in Bremen for passing forged checks of the Studebaker Brothers of Chicago and South Bend. The checks were on the First National Bank of Chicago for $25 each and when arrested he had a pocketful in reserve. He was taken to jail at Ply* saooth.
