"I understand thoroughly. Elmer.
WVii. you're forgiven everything? all
except running away like a tin-canned
dog Really, you act a? If you are
horribly afraid of something."
"I am, but I can't discuss it over
the telephone. Tell you what I'll do.
?llie. I'll delay my departure and
you come to dinner with me tonight."
?Td love to. Klmer, but not tonight.
But I can go with you tomorrow night.
I'm too busy to see you before then.'
Reluctantly Elmer agreed to her
counter proposal and Nellie, hugely
satisfied with herself, hung up and re
turned to the bank, where she wrote ;
tlie following letter to J. Fitzgerald,
acting captuln of detectives, Los An
geles police department:
"Dear Captain Fitzgerald :
"With reference to the mntter we
discussed over the long-distance tele
phono, when I told you that a check
in favor of Doris Gatewood had been
received at this bank and was being '
returned with the notation 'Signature
of lodorser Irregular':
"You will be glad to know thet your j
action In conforming to my request
and mailing anonymously to Mr. Clarke |
the police records and rogues' gallery
photographs of Colorado Charley hns
borne rich fruit. Within a few min- i
after Its receipt Mr. Clarke called
nt the bank and ordered payment |
stopped on the check. He was much
disturbed. Shortly thereafter he pur
hased two thousand dollars' worth of |
travelers' checks here, so I realized
he was about to leave the state.
"Immediately I made it my business
to call him up and ascertained, with
out letting him know I was pumping
him, that he is frightened and panicky.
Evidently he has compromised himsel \
pro?)ubly in writing, and now fears
reprisals from the outraged and dis
appointed lady in the shape of a suit
for breach of promise. My personal
opinion Is, however, that now they
realize his suspicions are aroused, they
will endeavor to extract as large a
cash settlement as possible, guaran
teeing no publicity In return. Of 1
course we must protect him by catch
ing them in the act of levying black
mail, and if Mr. Clarke tied the state |
we couldn't do that, could we? So I
have managed to delay his departure |
forty-eight hours.
"This letter will reach you via the
*?nie train that carries Mr. Clarke's
rejected check back to the Los An
geles bank. In fact. It will reach you
earlier than that, because I am send
ing It special delivery. Immediately
upon receipt of It, please arrange to
have the movements of this unsavory
couple watched and report to me by
telephone.
"Yours truly,
"Nellie Cathcart."
CHAPTER XI
The following afternoon Nellie re
ceived a long distance call from Los
Angeles. Acting Captain of Detec
tives J. Fitzgerald was reporting.
"Sent a man out to watch the house
as soon as I got your letter," he an
nounced. "The bank must have tele
phoned them about the check, for at
half past ten they called a taxi and
wont down to the office of a shyster
attorney. They were there two hours
and then returned to the bunsalorv.
As soon as my man reported they were
in conference with that particular
lawyer the whole thing was as dear
as mud.
"They're going up to Pilarcitos to
shake the boy down as sure as death
and taxes, so I have started two good
men for Pilarcitos In a fast automo
bile. They will install a dictograph
in the young fellow's house and listed
to on the unholy proposition. I want
you to provide a fast and accurate
stenographer to take down every word.
Can you do that?"
"I'm the fastest and most accurate
stenographer in this county." Nellie
replied quietly.
"Good girl! Now, then, I'm going
to leave It to you to arrange for a
clear field for my men. They've got
to be alone in that house for an hour."
"I have already arranged that. I
^tll explain the details to your repre
sentative when he calls tomorrow
morning."

sought N^lle Cath?*art"? wln?l<?w, a
small Hold i-i^n hearing Nellie's name
serving as u clow.
"I'm Detective Sergeant Fahe>. from
Los Angeles,*' he announced. "The
chief sent me an' my partner up with
orders to report to you."
"I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. Kahey.
Mere are your instruction?,** and she i
handed him a sealed envelope. "Good
morning !"
"Just n-.'t the smartest Jane In the
world," Mr. Fahey confided to hla
partner. Detective Sergeant Abraham

He tore open the envelope and read ,
to Lipowsky :
"Colorado Charley and Mae are due I
In Piiarcitos at 0:02 tonight. They
will probably go direct to Mr. Clarke's ,
house, a shingled bungalow, at No. j
302 C street, corner of Hazel drive.

can gain entrance to the house by
using n skeleton key on the kitchen
door, the lock of which is simple and
old-fashioned, since burglars 6ehlom
operate In Ptlarcitos.
"You can set up your dictograph
behind the old hair aofa in the pnrlor
and run your wires along the edge of
the wall, draw them up hack of the
piano and out the window, around the
back of the house to the garage. No
body will disturb you there as Mr.
Clarke keeps his car In an uptown
garage.
"When Mr. Clarke drops me st my j
house and proceeds to the up-town
garage, I will come over to his garage i
with a large flashlight torch, a ste- I
nographer's notebook and several sharp |
pencils. The fender of the flivver will |
serve as a desk. I will knock twice
on the door? a pause between each
rap. The rest I leave to you."
"Well, what do you know about that
damsel?" said Detective Sergeant
LIpowsky.
"I'd ask her to marry me If I stood j
a Chinaman's chance ? which I don't,"
Detective Sergeant Fahey replied
sadly.
Promptly at seven o'clock Elmer
called for Nellie and carried her off
to Joe Angellotti's road house for din
ner. Not once during the ride out did
Nellie refer to Elmer's unfortunate
predicament ; seemingly she was not
Interested In ii and not until they
were halfway through dinner did El
mer broach the subject himself.
"Can't linger to do any dancing here
tonight, Nellie I must get home
eariy."
Nellie seemed disappointed, so be !
hastened to excuse his action.
"I'm afraid I'm in for a bad hour i
between nine and ten tonight, Nellie. |
I had a wire from Doris Gatewood
this morning. She's coming up to see
me and she asked me to be at home
tonight."
"Now, what do you suppose she
wants?" Nellie's tones were freighted
with a languid Interest. She helped
herself to an olive and ate It with
relish. Elmer, watching her sharply,
was reassured.

Paint Used by Red Indians
The pigments used for war paint by
the American Indians were mainly of
mineral and vegetal origin. The min
eral dyes especially wero oxides of
Iron and carbonate of copper. The
stains were extracts of baric, grape*,
berries, lichens and roots.
Fall Rest Time for
Preparing for Lawn
Moist Weather Conditions
Make for Rapid Growth.
Ihe full season Is a much c>**i i ?>c
time for the sowing ot crass seed and
the building of a lawn than is the
spring, according to (i M Mc< "lure,
specialist in soils a: the Ohio State
university. who gj.ys that lawn grasses
grow host under cool. tn<?st condi
tions. inch as ar?" likely r?> occur dur
iiiK September and October
The growth of young grass seeded
in September, he asserts, is less ham
per??d by weeds than is grass sown in
the spring. Most weeds have sprouted
earlier in the season and have been
cultivated out during the preparation
of the seed bed. Another reason for
f ?'* 1 1 seeding Is that the grass stools
or tillers out during this season, and
consequently establishes itself before
the advent of freezing weather With
such a start the grass begins growth
early in the spring and is ahle to
compete with weeds which begin
growth upon the arrival of warm
weather.
Grading Is the first operation In
starting a new lawn, he says, if the
final grade must be lower than the
present one. from four to six Inches
of surface soil Is removed, the grade
established by removing the subsoil.
the surface soil replaced to make
the final grade. If the final grade is
to he higher than the original, grad
ing Is done by applying top soil over
the area and leveling it to the de
sired grade
Soy Beans Make Good
Live Stock Feed Crop
Soy beans make a good replacement
crop for spring wheat in those sections
where corn Is a profitable crop, states
11. W. Iluibert. head of the department
of agronomy of the University of Idaho
College of Agriculture. The success of
the crop depends on the selection of
varieties and the use of Inoculation.
Experiments conducted nt I .enure in
co-operation with II I.. Stafford, h
farmer of that district, and .1 W.
Thometz. Nor. rerce county agricultur
al agent, have furnished much infor
mation regarding varieties adapted to
this area. Minsoy and Wisconsin
P.lack are two varieties best suited to
the higher elevations along the Clear
water river. Ito San will mature at
the middle elevations, while Manchu
and Ha hero are best for the lowest and
warmest sections. If a hay crop Is de
sired. Chestnut or Manchu varieties
should be selected. The "holce of va
riety is complicated by the fact that
mor? than 1/200 different varieties are
grown in the lTn: ed States.
Since most of the adapted varieties
are low in oil. soy beans should be
grown as a supply crop for "hogging
off," or feed for other live stock. They
add materially to the value of the ra
tion when "hogged off" in combination
with corn and supplemented with bun
dle grain. The meal and ground beans
make au excellent grain ration feed
for all kinds of live stock. The hay is
nearly equal to alfalfa for milk produc
tion.
Best Results Produced
by Coarse Fertilizer
Is a finely ground fertilizer better,
from the standpoint of availability to
I he plunt. th:in a fertilizer compound
of coarse granules or particles? The
I answer, commonly affirmative, may
I have to he revised if indications from
preliminary tests by Prof. S. I). Con
; ner, of Purdue university, are con
firmed. Professor Conner fertilized
corn in the hill with a complete fer
tilizer in granular or pellet form, and
also with the same fertilizer finely
ground, applied in the same way and
at the same rate. The coarse granules
have to date produced bigger corn
plants than the finely ground fertilizer.
Professor Conner's explanation is that
the finely ground fertilizer, by reason
of its more intimate contact with the
soil. Is fixed in the soil, whereas wiU?
the coarse particles a comparatively
small amount of the plant food is fixed
in the soil immediately surrounding
the granules, leaving a larger propor
tion of the plant food free for use by
the plant. Professor Conner points
out that thl. condition may not hold
for all fertilizers in all soils, but nev
ertheless may be an important consid
eration in the use of certain types of
fertilizers. ? Fertilizer Review.

IC ? Christianity Facing Other Il?li
| gions.
I. Paul and Barnabas Preachinfl
at Iconium (vv. 1-7).
Their experience here was much the
same as at Antioch. They entered the
Jewish synagogue and preached. caus
ing ? multitude of Jews and < '.entiles
to believe. The unbelieving Jews j
stirred up the Kent ilea to the most j
hitler opposition. Concerning their ]
work in Iconium observe. j
I. Their manner of preaching (v. 1>.
They "so spake" that a great multi
tude believed. They were true preaeli
ere. only that which brines convic
tion of sin and Induces derisions f->r
Christ can he truly said to he preach
ing In the biblical sense. It Is not
enough merely to bring the truth to
the people. It must he brought in such
a way that men and women will be In
duced to decide f-?r Christ.
'2 Their attitude toward opposition
(v. :\) This is suggested by the word
"therefore." "Long time therefore
they tarried." The opposition did not
prevent their preaching hut Incited
them to continue preaching. Chris
Han workers should not give up work
because of opposition.
3. Their preaching accompanied
with miracles (v. :?). Since the oppo
sition was so fierce, the Ivord granted
special help in his vindication of their
, testimony.
4. The effect of their preaching
(v. 4). The multitude of the city was
divided. Where men faithfully preach
the gospel there will he division.
5. Paul and Uaraaba.s assaulted
(v\. r. 7). The Jews and the C.entlles
united in this assault, llelng apprised
j of this effort. Paul and Barnabas fled
to l.ysira and Derby, where they
! preached the gospel.
II. An Attempt to Worship Paul and
Barnabas as Gods (vv. S-1S).
1. The occasion (vv. S-!0). It was
the healing of a lame man. <Sods
gracious power shown in healing this
lame man occasioned new difficulty.
That which ought to have been a help
: was turned into a hindrance. This
t was a notable miracle. The man hail
never walked. On hearing Paul preach,
faith was horn in his heart (Uom.
I 10:1"). When Paul perceived that he
trusted Christ, he .ailed with a loud
voice that all could hear for the man
j to stand upright. The cure was In
stantaneous. for he leaped up and
1 walked (v. 101.
2. The method (vv. 11-13). They
called Barnabas Jupiter, and l'aul
Mercurius because he the chief
speaker. The priest of Jupiter
brought oxen and garlands ready to
offer sacrifices unto these men (v. 13).
| In the person of Jesus Christ (?od has
' actually appeared to man (John 1 :14 ,
! Phil. 2:7. 8).
3. Their efforts frustrated (vv.
14-1S). This foolish act was happily
averted by the tact of the apostles as
exhibited In the address of the occn
sion :
a. They denied that they were divine
beings.
t) They directed them to turn away
from these vain things unto the living
1 Cod who made heaven and earth.
III. The Stoning of Paul (vv. 10-22).
Wicked Jews from Antioch and Ico
nium pursued Paul with relentless
? hate to this place where they stirred
up the very people who had been will
ing to worship them a short time be
. fore This shows that Satanic worship
can soon he turned Into satanic hate.
This hatred took form In the stoning
of Paul and the dragging of him out
of the cltv for dead. Having been
raised up by God. he with undaunted
courage pressed on with his duties as
a missionary bearing the good tidings
to the lost. Soon after this. Paul
turned back and revisited the places
where he had preached, telling them
that through great tribulation ^ they
must enter into the Kingdom of God.
IV. The Organization of Churches In
the Field (vv. 23-2S).
Evangelization with Paul did not
mean a hasty and superficial preaching
of the gospel, but the establishment of
a permanent work. Elders were ap
pointed In every church. The work of
the missionary Is not done until there
Is established on the field self-gov
erning and self-propagating churches
