Dishonest Dealers. We have heard of dishonest dealers feeding chickens gravel to increase their weight, but feeding chickens pepper and keeping them thirsty until they drink a pound of water is a new one on us. Joseph Hartigan, commissioner of weights and measures of New York city found that tricky dealers in that city were using this means of defrauding the public. The scheme of increasing a chicken's weight is a substitute, he said, for the old device of feeding them gravel used by dishonest dealers and abandoned after an exposure. Practices of this kind bring the honest traders into disrepute. Scores of honest merchants in the city of Richmond find that they must give considerable of their valuable time to dissuading patrons that they are not trying to cheat them. Because a few men resort to sharp practices all their associates in business are forced to suffer with them. Honest merchants deplore dishonest methods in merchandising, for they know that evil is always found out and that it pays to be good. '

Autumn Days. An editorial writer on. the New York Globe who evidently had spent hia boyhood days in the country or in a small town, grew reminiscent the other day, and typed an editorial that is worth while thinking about. He said: A mellow haze is on the hills. The air is sweet and cool and invigorating. Blackbirds piping up from the fields at dawn begin their journey southward. . Wagons creak along the roads laden with their orchard treasures. Farmhouse and barn are at peace under the bright sunshine that gilds but no longer warms. It is that sentinel period dreaming between the outposts of retreating life, which is summer, and advancing sleep, which is winter. Autumn days ! On the air is a wonderful fragrance compounded of all the joys of this fruition period of the year. In it are a thousand scents sweeter than any perfume of Araby, purer than any incense, except the smoke of wood fires spiraling above the hills, a spicy, aromatic scent. It comes from a little red outbuilding whence sounds a crunching and a steady pounding. It comes from the cider press. Apples they belong to autumn days; of all things autumnal they are the essence. Baldwin, a brave name ; Winesap, the mouth waters at the sound; Grimes Golden, sturdy words; Pippin, York Imperial and Ben Davis, Jonathan, Green

ing and Rome Beauty cognomens all that have a wholesome ring, apples that crush fruitly upon the tongue. It is autumn in the country. Autumn. But this is the city.- Oh, well, there is no ban on dreams.

"You ara ready, Miss Lawton? Nerves steady enough for the ordeal?"

asked Blaine the following morning,

"I am ready." Anita's voice was firm

and controlled and there was the glint

of a challenge in her eyes. A wondrous

change had come over her Bince the previous day. With the rescue of the man she loved, and the certainty that

he would recover, all the latent in

domltable courage and fighting spirit

which had come to her as an heritage from her father, and which had made of him the ruler of men and arbiter of

events which he had been, arose again within her. The most crushing weight upon her heart had been lifted; hope

and love had revivified her; and she

was indeed ready to face the world

again, to meet her enemies, the mur

derers and traducers of her father, and to give battle to them on their own ground. "In a few moments, a man will enter this library a man whom you know well. You will be stationed behind the curtains at this window here, and must summon all your self-control to restrain yourself from giving any start or uttering a sound of surprise which would betray your presence. While I talk to him, I want you to try with all your might to put from your mind the fact that you know him. Do not let his personality influence you In any way, or his speech. Only listen to the tones, of his voice listen and try to recall that other voice which you heard here on the night of your father's death. If in his tones you recognize that voice, step from behind those curtains and face him. If not and you must be absolutely sure that you do recognize the voice, that you could swear to it under oath in a court of Justice, realizing that it will probably mean swearing away a man's life If you are not sure, remain silent." "I understand, Mr. Blaine. I will not fall you. I could not be mistaken; the voice which I heard here that night rings still In my ears; Its echo seems yet to linger in the room." Her gaze wandered to the great leather chair, which had been replaced in its usual position. "Now that you have restored

Ramon to me. I want only to avenge my father, and I shall be content To be murdered, in his own home! Pois

oned like a rat In a trap! I shall not rest until the coward who killed him has been brought to justice!". "He will he. Miss Lawton! The trap has been baited again, and unless I am greatly miRtaken, the murderer will "walk straight Into It There Is the bell! I gave orders that you were to be at home to no one except the man I expect and that he was to be ushered In her Immediately upon his arrival, without being announced so take your place, now, please, behind the curtains. Do not try to watch the man only listen with all your ears; and above all do not betray yourself until the proper moment comes for disclosing your presence." v Without a word Anita disappeared Into the window seat, and the curtains fell into place behind her. The detective had only time to step in the shadow of a dark corner beside one of

th. tat! bookcases, when the floor was

thrown open. A man stood upon the

threshold a tall, fair man or miaaie

age. with a small blond mustacne, ana

a monocle dangling from a narrow black ribbon about his neck. From the

very correct gardenia in his buttonhole to the very immaculate spats upon his feet, he was a careful prototype

of the Piccadilly exquisite a little

faded, perhaps, slightly effete, but per

fect in detail. He halted for a moment, as if he, too, were blinded by the swift change from sunshine to gloom. Then, advancing slowly, his pale, protruding eyes wandered to the great chair by, the fireplace, and lingered as if fascinated. He approached it, magnetized by some spell of his own thoughts weaving, until he could have stretched out his hand and touched it. A pause, and with a sudden swift revulsion of feeling, he turned from it in a sort of horror and went to. the center-table. There he stood for a moment, glanced back at the chair, then quickly about the room, his eyes passing unseeingly over the shadowy figure by the bookcase. Then he darted back to the chair and thrust his hand deep into the fold between the back

seat. For a minute he felt about with frenzied haste, until his fingers touched the object he sought, and with a profound sigh of relief he drew it forth a tiny flat vial. He glanced at it casually, his hand already raised toward his berast-poc-ket; then he recoiled with a low, involuntary cry. The vial was filled with a sinister blood-red fluid. At that moment Blaine stepped from behind the bookcase and confronted him. "You have succeeded in regaining

your bottle, haven't you, Mr. Rockamore?" he asked .significantly. "Are you surprised to find within it the

blood of an innocent man?

Rockamore turned to him slowly.

his dazed, horror-stricken eyes pro truding more than ever. To Be Continued.

Copyright 1916, by the McClure N THE SILLY LITTLE MOUSE . One day Billy Mouse, who was very, very young, went out while his mother was busy doing her housework, and just as he slipped back into the door of his house Kitty came along. But she missed Billy Mouse by just the touch of her paw. "Oh, you cunning little fellow, do you live In there?" asked Kitty, trying to make friends with Billy Mouse. "Yes, I live here," answered Billy Mouse; "isnt it a nice place to live?" "Yes, it is a very nice place, hut not nice enough for such a nice fellow as you are; you should come with me where there is much to see and a

much nicer place to live. "And you better tell your mother about it. I am sure she would like to live there. Why, there is a cheese as big as your house and other things, too. "Come out here and let me tell you about it," and then you can go and tell your mother what a nice place you know about," said Kitty. "Wait a minute and I will come out." said Silly Billy Mouse; and off he ran to find his mother. "Oh, mother, mother, he said, "do hurry. Kitty is out here and she knows the nicest place for us to live; she was so kind we should not be rude to her, for she invited you as well as me. to come along. "She says there is a cheese as big as our house and other things, too; do hurry and not keep Miss Kitty waiting." Billy Mouse almost choked, he was

"Don't you know that Kitty only wanted to get you out so she could catch you, foolish child," said Billy's mother. "The idea of Kitty showing any of our family anything but her claws is really funny if It were not so dreadful to think of. "Now, you stay just as quiet as a good mouse, and I will see if she has gone away." Mrs. Mouse tiptoed out and carefully looked out of the house and nowhere could she see Kitty, so she told Billy Mouse to come out "Now you get your book on the 'Badness of Cats' and sit down by the window and read, and I think you will find by reading that book that no cat was ever known to help us to anything good. ' "Your education has been neglected,

and from now on you read a chapter a day in that book until you learn a thing or two about cats and their ways." But Billy Mouse could not keep his mind on the book. He could only think of that cheese Kitty told him of, so that when his mother went upstairs to make the beds he dropped the book and went to the door and peeked out Kitty was nowhere In sight, and Billy went outside the door. "I bet she told Johnnie Mouse, and he is eating all the big cheese himself," said Billy Mouse. The thought was too much for Billy

Many are the tricks which strata of air, heated to varying temperatures, have played upon Arctic and Antarctic explorers. When Commodore Peary returned from his last expedition into northern wastes he brought with him a story, of a strange land which he had discovered, and to which, in lieu of something better, he had named Crocker Land. No one doubted Peary's word. It was taken for granted that his discovery was authentic. But now comes along Ensign Fltzhugh Green, a member of the exploring party sent North by the Museum of Natural History to verify Peary's claim, with the declaration that Crocker Land does not exist, that Peary had been fooled by a mirage, a land mirrored in the sky's reflection, which faded with the passing of the mist

Mouse, so he ran out to the corner and looked about, but no Miss Kitty could he see or hear. Suddenly something like a sharp sting struck Billy Mouse on the back, just above his tail, and how he jumped and how he ran up the side of a barrel. And then something came after him, and Billy Mouse ran down again, and this time he ran right into a big pipe on the ground. But, alas! for Miss Kitty! She ran in one end, but she could not run out of the other, for it was smaller at one

fnd than the other, so Billy Mouse

ran out, and back he flew to his home, all out of breath, and frightened all but to death. He fell right over on the floor and his mother had to pour water on him to bring him to his senses again. . "Oh. oh, oh, oh!" cried Billy Mouse, thinking Miss Kitty had him sure when he felt the cold water, "Oh, mother, save me!" he cried. "What in the world has happened to you?" asked his mother. "Here I am right here and you are not hurt at all.

Why, yes, you are. What hurt your back?" Then Billy Mouse had to tell her all about how he ran out to find Miss Kitty and how she chased him and nearly caught him, too. Billy began to think his mother knew more than he did, and he at once began to study the book and learn all about the tricks of bad kitty cats. Tomorrow's story Dora and the Dwarf."

Mr. Morris Tells His Experience. The following brief account of an Interview with a Richmond man over seven years ago, and its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every citizen. J. W. Morris, proprietor meat market, 421 Main street, Richmond, says: "I suffered from backache for several years, the attacks at times being so severe that I could hardly straighten up. I was told it was lumbago. The kidney secretions were sometimes profuse and then again scanty in passage, making it plain that my kidneys were affected. I began doctoring, but it was not until I had taken several different medicines without success that I chanced on Doan's Kidney Pills. I used three boxes and was cured of the backache." The above statement was given on Dec. 12, 1908, and on Sept. 15, 1915, Mr. Morris said: "Since giving a for

mer recommendation for Doan's Kid

ney Pills, I have had but few occas

ions to use them. When I have, they have never failed to relieve me." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Morris has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. adv.

' Women who are well often ark "Are the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. are continually publishing, genuine?" "Are they truthful?" " Why do women write such letters? " In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter of name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the womaa who wrote it The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co. is that Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering. It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from displacements, inflammation, ulceration irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues. It is impossible for any womaa who

Is well and wno has never suffered to realize how these
