I urrlvod at my flguros as follows:
Tho 1921 valuation for Lincoln County
is $35,558,000.00. Total tax raised was

The Missing S
1 Jewels
By MARVIN ST. JOHNS

"Which does Mae like best?"
"Two evenings in the week, Rufus
Dodge, Saturday evening and Sunday,
Worth Bartlcy."
"And tho rest of the time?"
"Well, I think young Hartley Is the
favorite. Ho should be a line, man
ly fellow, ambitious, earnest and hand
some. Not that Dodge Is In any way
bad. Some time ugo, however, ho
won a prlzo In a foreign lottery."
"How much?"
"One thousand dollars. He has
salted It away In bank, nil right, but
ho boasts of It constantly; brags of
his luck and, mark mo, with the spec
ulative fever latent in his veins, will
some day lose It Just as easily as he
got it."
Thus two members of the soclnl clr-
clo In which pretty Mao Winston was
the bello and Bartley and Dodge
worthy and popular members. They
were a theme Of a good many discus
sions, but all that was completely
overshadowed the day succeeding to
that upon which tho foregoing con
versation took place. The parties to
tho same met again.
"What do you think of tho latest?"
"The diamond robbery up nt tho
Bodies?"
"Yes. They say the burglars got
a box of Jewels worth $20,000."
"Whew! That's some value."
"Here's a printed description and
rewnrd offered $5,000 for the recov
ery of the gems double that for the
additional conviction of the thieves."
"It almost tempts a fellow to play
tho detective."
Then two. evenings later a now ex
citement set tho vlllnBO all agog. Bart-
Icy had been found wounded and In
sensible- In a waste piece of ground
about a mile from the village.
Meantime, Rufus had come into a
new experience. Ho called at the
Winston homo one day and sought a
privato lntcrvleiv.
"I've got something very confiden
tial to tell you, Mr. Winston," he said.
'Tvo got a chnnco to mnke $4,000,"
went on Rufus, rather excitedly.
"It's a pretty fine plum for a start,"
encouraged Winston.
"I've got n chance to get the stolen
diamonds."
"Hey!" stared tho fanner,
"Yes. Now this Is a secret. You
see,
It's only at a stage of ncgotia
tlons, so far, A stranger came to me,
one of the thieves, I am sure. He
warned me to act with caution. Ho
said that the stolen Jewels had been
so widely advertised by description
that the thieves were afraid to offer
them for sale. He has agreed to turn
them over to mo and havo mo verify
them through tho printed description
for $1,000. 1 think It's a good specu
lation, don't you?"
"It's hobnobbing with thieves," sug
gested the wily farmer.
Rufus drew his thousand dollars out
of the bunk. Ho was to meet the sup
posed thief four days later. Worth
was up and about.
When ho came ti put on his clothes
Worth discovered his possessions all
right except In one particular a
small locket that had been attached
to his watch chain, was missing. It
had contained a picture of Mae.
Tho haze began to clear away In his
mind. Dimly, at first, then more
strongly memory began to develop the
chnln of circumstances, obscured until
now Blnce he was struck down. He
went out into the warm sunshine,
walking slowly, bent on reaching the
spot where he had been assaulted. Half
the distance was covered when his face
brightened and his pulses stirred
deeply as ho saw coming towards him
tho woman ho loved.
Mao was overjoyed to seo him con
valescing, and told him so.'
For tho first time sho learned from
his Hps the story oJL his recent mis
hap. It seemed that while ncarlng the
spot they had now renched ho had
seen n light among soma bushes. As
Worth Investigated, ho observed a man
take from tho hollow of a dead tree
a box. He opened It with n chuckle.
"I don't know what possessed me,"
he told his fair companion, "but some
impulse mado mo seize the box. I ran,
Thero wero wild shouts, and tho first
man and two others Just arrived,
probably to shnro tho hidden plunder,
pursued me. Just about this rugged
epot I stumbled and fell. Tho box flow
far from my hands. Tho men came
up, dealt mo a stunning blow and
this is tho spot whero it all occurred."
Mae aided htm In his search, silent
and impressed. A sudden cry from
Worth brought her to his side. Grop
ing bcsldo a big boulder, his hand
had brushed back n dense growth of
grass and had touched the box of
Jewels, where It had rolled the night
of his adventure!
Togothcr they proceeded to tho of
fice of the lawyer who had advertised
the rewnrd. It was to face a vast sur
prise. Thero, dismayed, speechless,
stood Rufus. He had Just brought in
tho Jewels ho had purchased from a
scheming thief.

sent tho follow
ing letter to Near

Catholic Chari

pealing Christian
work of your

u.&u.
Archbishop Hayes.
"I am shocked
to lenrh how terrifying are tho present'
conditions In the Near-East, especially
in Armenia. A stop must be put by
the Christian world to this rolgn of
massacre, famine, disease and horrors
of every description. All must help.
"I commend most earnestly tho ap
peal of the Near East Relief to tho
charitably thinking and mercifully dis
posed people of New York and In par
ticular to the Catholic portion of the
community.
"Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) "PATRICK J. HAYES,
"Archbishop of New York."

East Relief are located at 151 Fifth
Avenue, New York.
HEAD OF NEAR EAST
RELIEF MAKES APPEAL
Twenty- five
thousand innocent
children have
been condemned
to denth by the
will of the Amer.
lean people. Such
Is the statement
lfinde by Charles
V. Vlckrcy, Gen
eral Secretary of
the Near East
Relief, on tho
passing of a reso
lution by the ex
ecutive board of
Charles V. vickrcy
that organization cutting down the ap
propriations for relief twenty-flvo per
cent.
"At the lowest possible administra
tive cost," says Mr. Vlckrey, "tho Near
East Relief has been caring for one
hundred thousand children, the home
less little orphans of the Near East
Tho cut In appropriations, made neces
sary by the decreased contributions,
means that twenty-five thousand equal
ly helpless children now on our door
step must be refused admission and
turned Into the streets to perish of
cold and hunger. There can be no
other fato than that awaiting them.
Wo are their only help and support.
Five dollnrs a month will commute
the sentence for one child. And I do
not believe there is a man or woman
in a homo in America who could not
and would not give that much to save
a little child."
MAGNIFICENT CO-OPERATION
OF EPISCOPAL COMMUNION
A plan of co-operation in the work
administered by Near East Relief has
been Inaugurated by Bishop Thomas
F. Gallor, Presiding Bishop, and coun

layman as chairman.
An especial emergency appeal Is go
ing forth to all parishes of the Epls
copal Church for n Lenten contrlbu
Uon. Ten thousand orphan children,
for whom no other provision Is possible-
today, are mnde the special charge
of tho Episcopal Church.
