CHAPTER XV. Continued.
As we turned lh- corner I la'iffd
hack. Ilitlf a block behind us John
son was moving our way slowly.
When he saw me he slopped and pro
ceeded with great deliberation to light
:i ci;:!r. H hurry i':. however, he
caught the ctir that we took, and stood
unobtrusively on the rear platform.
He looked fagged, and absent-mindedly
paid cur fares, to McKnight's de
light. "We will give him a run for his
money." he dech.red. as the car moved
counlryward. "Conductor, let us off
nt the muddiest lane you fan find."
At one o'clock, after a six-mile ram
ble, we entered a small country hotel.
We had seen nothing of Johnson for a
half hour. At tr-at titne he was a
quarter of a mile h.'hiud us. and losing
rapidly, liefore we had finished our
luncheon he s-laggtred into the inn.
One of bis boots was under his arm.
and bis whole appearance was deplor
able, lie was coated with ruid. streak
ed with perspiration, and be limped
as be walkfd. He chose a table not
far from us and ordered Scotch. Be
yond touching his hat. be paid no at
tention to us.
"I'm just getting my second wind,"
.McKnight declared. "How do you feel,
Mr. Johnson? Six or eight miles more
and we'll all enjoy our dinners." John
son put down the glass he had raised
to his lips without replying.
The fact was-, however, that I was
like Johnson. I was soft from my
week's Inaction, and I was pretty well
"one up. McKnight. who was a well
spring of vitality and "nigh spirits, or
dered a strange concoction, made of
nearly everything in the bar, and sent
it over to the detective, but Johnson
refused it.
"1 hate that kind of person," Ic
Knight said pettishly. "Kind of a fel
low that thinks you're going to poison
his deg if you offer him a bone."
When we got to the car line, with
Johnson a draggled and drooping tail
to the kite. 1 was in better spirits. I
had told McKnight the story of the
three hours jiit-t after the wreck; I
had not named the girl, of course; she
bad my promise of secrecy. Hut I told
hiiii everything ols-'o. It was a relief
to have a Sresh mind on it: I had puz
zled so much over the incident at the
farm-house, and the necklace in the
gold bag, that 1 had lost perspective.
He had been interested, but inclined
(o be amused, until I came to the
broken chain. Then he had whistled
softly.
"Hut there are tons of line gold
chains made every year," he said
"Why In tlie world do you think that
the er smeary piece came from
that necklace?"
1 had looked around. Johnson was
far behind, scraping the mud oft' his
feet with a piece of stick.
"I have the short end of the chain
In the Fcalskin bag." 1 reminded him.
"When I couldn't sleep this morning I
thought 1 would settle it, one way or
the other. It was hell to go along the
way I had been doing. And there's
no doubt about it, Iiich. It's the same
chain."
We walked along in silence until
we caught the car back to town.
"Well," he said finally, "you know
the girl, of course, and I don't. Hut
If you like her and 1 think myself
you're rather hard hit. old man I
wouldn't give a whoop about the chain
in the gold purse. It's just one of the
little coincidences that hang people
now and then And as for last night
if she's the kind of a girl you say
she is. and you think she had any
thing to do with that, you you're
addled, that's all. You can depend
on it. the lady of the empty house last
week is the lady of last night. And
yet your train acquaintance was in
Altoona at thrt time."
Just before we got oft" the car. I re
verted to the subject again. It was
never far back in my mind.
"About the young lady of the train,
Uich." 1 said, with what I suppose was
elaborate carelessness. "I don't want
you to get a wrong impression. I am
rather unlikely to see her again, but
even If I do, I I believe she is al
ready 'bespoke,' or next thing to it."
He made no reply, but as I opened
the door with my latch-key he
stood looking up at me from the pave
ment with his quizzical smile.
"Love is like the measles." he orat
ed. "The older you get it, the worse
the attack."
Johnson did not appear again that
day. A small man in a raincoat took
his place. The next morning I made
my Initial trip to the office, the rain
coat still on hand. I had a short con
ference with. Miller, the district at
torney, at 11. Tronson was under sur
veillance, he said, and any attempt to
sell the notes to him would probably
result in their recovery. In the mean
time, as I knew, the Commonwealth
had continued the case. In hope of
such contingency.
At noon I left the office and took a
veterinarian to 6ce Candida, the in
jured pony. Hy one o'clock my first
day's duties were performed, and a
leng Sahara of hot afternoon
stretched ahead. McKnight, always
glad to escape from the grind, sug
gested a vaudeville, and in sheer
ennui I consented. I could neither
ride, drive nor golf, and my own com
pany borr-d me to distraction.
"Coolest place in town these days,"
he declared. "Electric fans, breezy
songs, airy costumes. And there's
Johnson just behind the coolest
proposition in Washington."
He gravely bought three tickets and
presented the detective with one.
Then we went in. Having lived a nor
iral, busy life, the theater in the aft-
moon is to me about on a par with
ice cream for breakfast. Jp on the
stage a very stout woman in short
pink skirts, with a smile that Mc
Knight declared looked like a slash in
a roll of buttrr. was ringing nasally.
with a laborious kick at the end of t
each verse. Johnson, two rows ahead,
went to sleep. .McKnight prodded me
with his elbow.
"Look at the first box to the right,"
he said, in a stage whisper. " I want
you to come over at the end of this
act."
It was the first time I had seen her

more. Outwardly I presume I was
calm, for no one turned to stare at
me, but every atom of me cried out
at the sight of her. She was lean
ing, bent forward, lips slightly parted,
gazing raptly at the Japanese con
jurer who had replaced what -McKnight
disrespectfully called the Col
umns of Hercules. Compared with the
draggled lady of the farm house, she
was radiant.
For that first moment there was
nothing but joy at the sight of her.
McKnight's touch on my arm brought
me back to reality.
"Come over and meet them," he
said. "That's the cousin Miss West
is visiting. Mrs. Dallas."
Hut I would not go. After he went
I sat there alone, painfully conscious
that I was being pointed out and
stared at from the box. The abomin
able Japanese gave way to yet more
atrocious performing dogs.
"How many offers of marriage will
the joung lady in the box have?" The
dog stopped sagely at "none," and
then pulled out a card that said eight.
Wild shouts of glee by the audience.
"The fools," I muttered.
After a little I glanced over. Mrs.
Dallas was talking to McKnight. but
she was looking straight at ine. She
was flushed, but more calm than I,
and she did not low. I fumbled for
my hat, but the next moment I saw
that they were going, and I sat still.
When McKnight came back he was
triumphant.
"I've made an engagement for you."
he said. "Mrs. Dallas asked me to
bring you to dinner to-night, and 1
' said I knew you would fall all over
yourself to go. You are requested to
bring along the broken arm. and any
other souvenirs of the wreck that you
may possess."
"I'll do nothing of the sort," I de
clared, struggling against my inclina
tion. "I can't even tie my necktie,
and I have to have my food cut for
me."
"Oh, that's all right," he said eas
ily. "I'll send Stogie over to fix you
up, and Mrs. Dal knows all about the
arm. I told her."
(Stogie is his Japanese factotum, so
called because he is lean, a yellowish
brown in color, and because he claims
to have been shipped into this country
in a box.)
The cinematograph was finishing
the program. The house was dark and
the music had stopped, as it does in
the circus just before somebody risks
his neck at so much a neck in the dip
of death, or the hundred-foot dive.
Then, with a sort of shock, I saw on
the white curtain the announcement:
THE NEXT PICTURE

TANCE FROM THE SCENE OF
THE WRECK ON THE FATAL.
MORNING OF SEPTEMBER
TENTH. TWO MILES FARTHER
ON IT MET WITH ALMOST COM
PLETE ANNIHILATION
I confess to a return of some of the
sickening sensations of the wreck; J went boldly through 1 turned the key
people around me were leaning for- The final set was being struck, and
ward with tense faces. Then the let- j no one paid any attention to us. Luck

el stretch or track, even the broken ; a banging at the door I had locked,
stone betwecw the ties standing Out ' a banging which. I judged, signified
distinctly. Far off unler a cloud of
smoke a small object was rushiug to
ward as and growing larger as it
came.
Now it was on us, a mammoth In
size, with huge drivers and a colossal
tender. The engine leaped aside, as
if just in time to save us from de
struction, with a glimpse of a stoop
ing fireman and a grimy engineer. The
long train of sleepers followed. From
a forward vestibule a porter in a
white coat waved his hand. The rest
of the cars seemed still wrapped in
slumber. With mixed sensations I
saw my own car, Ontario, fly past,
and then I rose to my feet aud
gripped McKnight's shoulder.
On the lowest step of the last car,
one foot hanging free, was a man. His
black derby hat was pulled well down
to keep it from blowing away, and his
coat was flying open In the wind. He
was swung well out from the car. his
free hand gripping a small valise,
every muscle tense for a jump.
"Ccod God. that's my man!" I said
hoarsely, as the audience broke into
applause. McKnight half rose; in his
seat ahead Johnson stilled a yawn and
turned to eye i:u
1 dropped into my chair limply, and
tried tu control my excitement. "The
man on the last platform of the train."
I said. "He was just about to leap;
I'll swear that was my bag."
-Could you see his face?" McKnight
asked in an undertone. vould you j
know him again?
"No. His hat was pulled down and
his head was bent. I'm going back to
find out where that picture was ta
ken. They say two miles, but it may
have been forty."
The audience, busy with its wraps,
had not noticed. Mrs. Dallas and Al
ison West had gone. In front of us

stooping for it.

Johnson.
"I guess we've broken up his Inter
ference." McKnight chuckled.
Stage hands were hurrying in every
direction; pieces of the side wall of
' last drawing room menaced us; a
switchboard behind us was singing
like a tea-kettle. Everywhere wo
stepped v..- were in somebody's way.
At last we were across, confronting a
man in his shirt sleeves, who by dots
and dashes of profanity seemed to bo
directing the chaos.
"Well?" he said, wheeling on ' us.
"What can I do for you?"
"I would like to ask," I replied, "if
you have any idea just where the last
cinematograph picture was taken."
"Hroken board picnickers lako?"
"No. The Washington Flier."
He glanced at my bandaged arm.
"The announcement says two
nii!es," McKnight put in. "but we
should like to know whether it Is rail
road miles, automobile miles, or po
liceman miles."
"I am s-orry I can't toll you," ho re
plied, more civilly. "We get those pic
tures by contract. We don't take them
ourselves."
"Where are the company's offices?"
"Xew York." He stepped forward
and grasped a super by the shoulder.
"What in blazes are you doing with
that gold chair in a kitchen set? Take
that piece of pink plush there and
throw it over a soap box. If you have
not got a kitchen chair."
I had not realized the extent of the
shock, but now I dropped into a chair
and wiped my forehead. The unex
pected glimpse of Alison West fol
lowed almost immediately by the rev
elation of the picture, had left me
limp and unnerved. McKnight was
looking at his watch.
"He says the moving picture peo
ple have an office down-town. We can
make it if we go on now."
So he called a cab, and we started
at a gallop. There was no sign of
the detective. "Upon my word."
Richey said, "I feel lonely without
him."
The people at the down-town office
of the cinematograph company were
very obliging. The picture had been
taken, they said, at M . just two
miles beyond the scene of the wreck.
It was not much, but it was something
to work on. I decided not to go home,
but to send McKnight's Jap for my
clothes, and to dress at the Incubator.
I was determined, if possible, to make
my next day's investigations without
Johnson. In the meantime, evrn if It
was for the last time. I would see Her
hat night. I gave Stogie a note for
Mrs. Klopton. and with my dinner
clothes there came back the gold bag
wrapped in tissue paper.

MORE POTATOES BY SPRAYING
3
For a good many years the general
farmer has contented himself with oc
casionally going over his potato
plants with a bucket and a stick in an
attempt to eradicate entirely 'the de
structive potato beetle or "bug." In
a way, this has answered the purpose,
ince the plants were saved from be
ing entirely consumed by the hordes
of insect pests that continually swarm
ed up from nowhere, but of course it
was impos.-i; lo '- rM c--i plant of all

the eggs were sure to remain and

Then there were the many varied
plant diseases to which the tubers
were subjected and a few years ago
no methods were available to effectu
ally control the:n. slnco no systematic
study had been given to this branch of
agriculture.
Realizing that more scientific meth
ods should be adopted to successfully
combat these different pests, the New
York experiment station at Geneva
made some very interesting and care
ful experiments in recent years, the
results of which have lately been pub
lished in bulletin form.
Their research revealed that fre
quent sprayings during the dry sea
sons of the year effected much better
plant conditions and a proportionately
increased potato crop.

SAVES LIVES
OF CHICKENS
Kansas Ponltry Raiser Has Dis
covered and Put Into Practice
Means of Preventing Largo
Mortality Anions' Chicks.
A well-known Kansas CKy poultry
man, Ernest Kellerstrass, has discov
ered and put into practise a new
means of preventing the common
large mortality of brooder chicks. The
remedy Is so simple that at first
thought it appears almost ridiculous.
It consists only in the use of black
soil in the floor of the brooder.
Mr. Kellerstrass by accident, two or
three years ago, noticed that a piece of
Bod placed on the floor of a brooder
was quickly worked on by the chicks.
They stood on it and scratched on lc
in preference to the wooden floor of
the brooder. The entire floor of the
brooder was then covered with sod.
and it was found that the chicks on
the sod covered floor were stronger, j

Piece. The petals looked like heavy
silk velvet, and the blooms were as
large as my tubers produced. Some
of the others were equally as beauti
ful, one being a magenta, with the
back of the petals striped in white;
another was a fawn shade and very
odd; another was yellow outlined on
each petal with red. and still an
other was a peculiar shade bordering
on a brick-dust color, the back of the
petals being yellow. This combination
was perfectly beautiful, and thought

plants, and every one was a gem.
uients. there was shown an average
gain per acre, due to spraying, of 66
bushels. The average net co3t of
spraying per acre was 84 cents and
the average price of potatoes at dig
ging time was 60 cents per bushel. A
little mental arithmetic makes It self
evident that it pays to spray.
Milk as a Food.
Analyses prove that one quart of
milk containing five per cent, butter
fat and costing in the market fronr
5 to 12 cents, Is equal in food vaiuo
to five-sixths of a pound of sirloin
steak, costing from 15 to 20 cents, and
as meats are generally cocked, It is
probably far more digestible and the
comparative value greater than indi

Poa straw is well liked by sheep
and is ahead of all other fodders, with
the possible exception of clover hay.
In Canada, where the pea crop is a
general one, the straw Is always saved
for the sheep and Is fed probably
more extensively than any other fod

freer of disease and thrived better Id
every way than chicks in brooders
with no earth covering for the floors.
From this experiment the idea was
evolved that earthen floors were the
proper kind for young chicks and con
tinued experiments were made on a
large scale.
The black earth floor was tried with
25,000 chicks and proved so successful
that less than five per cent of ordin
ary brooder raised chicks die.
The idea of Mr. Kellerstrass is that
board floors are too hard and un
natural for the feet of young chicks,
and that soil is a soft and natural floor
for them. By standing on the board
floor the chicks acquire leg weakness
that results in the white bowel trouble
and a general weakening of the young
birds. With loose, dry soil as a floor
the chicks will early learn to scratch
and become active. Through scratch
ing and exercise the birds grow strong;
and hence more resistent to disease.
