Kvelyn. and her little crippled sister. Mollie." he said. 1 think that problem was still harder. Ord'narily. of course, hla duty would hav a bit to savo his fiancee, but MolI i as lame had been from birth. She could walk, after a fashion but she couldn't have swam, aad she was far too frail nd delicate to swim for her life In auch a tide as Eight Mile race. "He knew Evelyn could wini like a fleh, too. The girls were staying at North niflT whes he went to see them He had met Evelyn a few weeks before, in town He knew she und her sifter tre orphans They had hardly a relative in the world. Sotheby had beeonie engaged a week or two before, and he wan madly in lovo with Evelyn, and the envy of all trie other men who admired her dashing beauty. "I think his predicament was worse. It was about half a mile to the land, and Evelyn could probably have made It. Mollie was helpless. Sotheby did not know what to do He acted on impulse. He saved Mollie. "He never knew how the boat had overturned He was trying to bring the tiller around and let the boom go when thejr found themselves In the water, and clinging to the overturned boat, uliifh was drifting rapidly out to ivea "He saw Evelyn struggling beside aim. and Mollie sinking Quick as a flash Sotheby grabbed Mollie by the hair He lost sight of Evelyn. He knw lie could net save both girls, and ha could not let Mollie go. Alternately h Imming and treading water, he managed, in utter exhaustion, to get Mol'.id ashore. Then he fainted.

He bowed his head and went away. It was another year before he saw Mollie again. Then he was at Atlantic City. "He was seated in a secluded corner by the Hoardwalk when he saw Mol- I lie coming toward him At first ha thought, so striking was the resemblance, that she was Evelyn herself. Then, as he watched her. he saw Evelyn In the flesh, at her side. and. beside Evelyn a man. "The trio were advancing toward him. and Evelyn and the man were engaged in animated conversation. Evelyn had grown stouter and fleshier; she was still the dashing beauty of old times, but tha dashiugness could not carry Itself so well under that accumulated load of flesh. It was overdone, and the woman was obviously too artificial. The hair was too light, the eyes too dark. Sotheby stared He could not be mistaken It was Evelyn. "Sotheby was not superstitious. He knew that Eveln was at Mollie s side, and he rose and followed them to their hotel. He watched them enter, and all that day he waited until he was rewarded at last by seeing Mollie come out alone She walked, with her limping gait, along the Hoardwalk un til she came to the same place where Sotheby had sat that morning. There she sat down, and there he accosted her. The terror in the girl'a eyes almost unnerved him. She glanced at him fearfully, and saw that he knew all. " You have seen her' she cried, with a quick intake of breath. "Sotheby nodded. Tell me the truth. Mollie. he said, taking her hand in his. And he knew then that, although it wax not the sum Evelyn whom he had loved. It was just the same Mollie who had been so dear to him. who had always been in his thoughts, night and day. since be had learned to love her. " 'She ia not dead.' said Sotheby. Hut Mollie, tell me the truth, and trust me.' ' Yes. I will tell you the truth.' answered the girl When you became Engaged to Evelyn you looked on it as a serious matter Hut to Evelyn it was just a Joke, a summer flirtation. She gets engaged at least to or three times every sumu,er. When you looked on it as something lasting Evelyn was well, just plain scared. She liked you well enough to become engaged to you, but she never loved yuu. Jack. Why. Evelyn couldn't lova anybody. The man she Is enga- I 1 now is rieb, and she w Q ;.robably marry hlri; but she never intended to marry you. " You frightened her.

the use of the laboratory will be a guaranty that his idea is worth perfecting, and will insure a hearing from the capitalist whom he may be seeking to interest The American Museum of Safety was organized and is maintained for the pretention of accidental he elimination or lessening of occupational diseases, and the promotion of industrial welfare through health, efficiency and cooperation. A trained staff of insestig tors supplies information to members and to the public, and within the naat two years two state museums have been founded with the co-operation of the American Museum of Safety. These are the museums in Hoston and San Francisco Such an intitution as the American Museum of Safety is not coercive but suggestive The law- jays that dangerous parts of machines must be protected The museum, through its jury of experts, tries to place on view every known safety device, so that the employer may select the one best adapted to bis particular needs, in other words, the museum becomes the experimental laboratory for every industrialist in the country.

Topeka Society Women Got "Exclusive" Dresses TOPEKA Some days ago a prepossessing young woman came to town and began paying visits to the best houses in Topeka. She called upon the society women only and presented to each a Japanese crepe silk dr"ss pattern, a beautiful piece of goods, all

hand embroidered and handsomely decorated With the pattern was a design for the dress, showing exactly how it would look when compled and how it should be put together. It certainly was beautiful, it was exclusive and such a bargain' The young woman promised not to sell another to any woman in the rity Could any woman resist a combina tloti like that ? Can a duck stay away

fr'm the water Hut why ask foolish questions? The young woman collected $-,s from one Topeka matron. Md from two others and varying prices between those figures for the rett The patterns were all alike The embroidery was all black and white, in a beautiful design The sales were all for cash There Isn't a woman who purchased the pattern who would not gladly pay the money she did for the same design if everyone else in the same social set didn't have a dress exactly like it One Saturday night there was a big wedding in Topeka and the women who had bought the beautiful Japanese crepe gown, but who hadn't discovered that everyone else had bought the same pattern, were each separately and distinctly sho ked to see another woman wearing the very gown each of these women expened to wear at a party a few days later. One woman whose dressmaker had said she already had nine of those patterns to make up. walked up to the woman wearing the gown and said: I think you are dreadful What do you mean by wearing your uniform b fore the date set for all of ua to appear?"

Syracuse Man Finds Sunflowers a Paying Crop SrHACUSfl Y. E K. Harlow, a resident o' Syracuse, may yet go down to fame as the originator of a now crop in this country Last year he raised a few sunflowers and saved the Wtttl. He was astonished at the number of sed one sunflower pro

regarded as simply an ornament, but it appears that it has real utilitarian value Mr Harlow says that calculating on the basis of the performance of his plan:, the production of one acre of 7.00) bills would total 1.500 pounds of seed, equivalent to 700 pounds of oll i93 1-3 gallons'. 2 soo pounds of oil cake. 10 tons of stalk, producing '. 0 gallons of alcohol, 'leaving over 13 tons of residue, value and use not yet determined.' The sunflower m a hardy and prolific plant. It will grow in almost any oil and needs no reddling It would seem, therefore, of considerable value as a crop on land that was ot little valu for other crops. There are many small spa es on every farm that are not utili. -d and on which sunflowers could be raised If Mr Harlow- is not off in his reckoning. It would pay farmers to utilize these waste places by growing sunflowers on them Tb-r are also thousands of acres of land so poor that it does not pay to plant the ordinary crops on it. but sunflow rs would surely grow there

Deadly Field Gun the Invention of New Yorker. Primarily Designed lor the Destruction of Aeroplanes. Dirigible Bal loona. and the Lmt Application of Old Principle. A d luble barreled field gun to shoot chain sbot is the newest Invention in ordnance to be tiled at the patent of tiee Th bVMbf is Julius Wodlska. a N'jw Yorker, who is very onfldent of its great usefulness in warfare and also if Ml practicability The draw ings of the uew gun plainly show that it certainly has th clement cf nov elty. and. if it works as the inventor hopes, would be a murderous weapon against a line of troop aud could sweep the sky it air craft.

The gun has two bar reis, whose axes slightly diverge from one another so as to bo suitable for throwing proj.ftil.s united by chains, such projectiles when they leave the gun continue to diverge from '.me another and stretch the connecting chain, thus forming. In effect, a con tlnuous projectile of considerable length transverse to the direction of fire. Projectiles f this class, while long kn wn. may now find a new field of application as a means for destroy Ins aeroplanes, dirigible balloons and the liko. "One of the important features off the invention lies in the fact that there is only one explosion or powder chamber for the two barrels, so that the two projectile are tired at exactly the same moment from the two different barrels The Improved character of my chain shot is that the shot are united by a chain cf considerable length This chain is held, up to the time the projectile is flred. wl'hin the body v.f one or both of the projettlles and is capuMe jf being extended as the projectile increase their distance from the gun At all stages during flight this extensible chain tends to be kept tightly stretched between the two pr jectil -1 "So far as I am aware, in all ordnance of this character previously used chain sh t have always been connected together by chains of definite and rat o r limited length, so that the area swept -ver by the chain hns been corre-: .1 ugly limited In this gun I have pn vidd means which will pre vent any entanglemeut of the chain in the bore of the gun as well as anywedging or wearing action of the chain upon it.

610 INCREASE OF FARM PRODUCTS

Province of Alberta Shows Increase of Over 20 Millions. Figures Just compiled by the publicity branch of the provincial depar mint show that last year, notwnu standing that quite a third of the pro, luce was affected by the drought to a very serious extent, the total valus of agricultural products a tually produced in the province showed an Increase of over twenty million dollars over that of the previous year. A! though southern Alberta bad a bad year agriculturally, the province as a w hole experienced s period of gr. .,' prosperity due principally to m fsnniiig. which Is becoming more general with each succeeding year The value of mixed farming, in fact, was never better illustrated thjn last year as the value of the animals slaughtered and sold alone equaled th. value of the spring wheat crop, without taking Into consideration th value of the butter, milk, cheese, poultry', vegetables, and other by prod u tj of the farm. Oats was the banner grain crop. 1.147.382 ac res being seeded and producing 34.S97.U7 bushels . ' to the acre. Sold st an average of 50c per bushel, these yielded a rwVSBM of $17.198,558. Comparatively little winter wheat was produced, the yield be Ing a little short of one million bushels, but the spring wheat crop amounted to 15.102.083 bushels, the yield per acre being 15.2. At an average of $1 35 per bushel, the value of the spring wheat crop was therefore $20,387.812 The total production of barley was 7.847.S40 bushels, which, at 5.c per bushel, yielded a revenue of $4.31 202. Other productions were as follows: Flax. 207.1 1 5 bushels. $310.67 2 00; rye. 2C1.8I3 bushels. $196.392 00; speltz 42 -707 bushels. $32.03000; hay. 200.000 tons. $2,500.000; potatoes, four million bushels. $3.000 000. turnips, three million bushels. $7.'0.000; carrots. 360.0'M1 bushels. $180.000; mangolda. 640.000 bushels, $320.000: animals slaughter. 1 and sold. 120 000,000; butter and cheese. $1.600,000; milk. $3.000.000; wool clip. 1,300,000 pounds.

The total of the agricultural prod nets Is given as $78.516.891. as com pared with $58.098.084 in 1913. The statistics also show that the value of the live stock in the province at the end of the year was $110.044.630 this being an increase of $7.762,845 over the previous year.
