It was a decided shock fa Win thatMiss • Blley didn't care for the na-tional game.

If anything were needed to enhanceMiss Blley's charm, It was the mys-tery that developed about or envel-oped her the third day out. WinShute heard of It from his room stew-ard,-who had picked If up from thewaiter at the purser's table. Thepurser was tbe agent of publicity, andIt was surmised that he had gleanedbis Intelligence from the captain. Any.how. It was a matter that the captainand the purser would —•—over.

Via wireless had come on Inquiry tothe captain of the Colonla about apassenger. The Inquiry was from theUnited States government—so muchwas known; IJrcTOicerned a—yoonewoman^who was traveling wltii hermother. She was described In thegeneral terms of strikingly handsomeand clever. From this the descriptionsvaried according to the whlm_orImagination of the persoi^repeatlngthe morsel of gossfp. The nulTof thetale was that the young woman was afugitive from Justice!

Immediately a (few ship's same was'started—flnd the fugitive. The searchwas carried on-by a-process-of-'nation. First ijie sailing list wascombed for a mother and daughter. Itturned out.^infoitunately, that In theUrst cabl5~tEeft were exactryty-one pairs 'uLjri'tners and daugh-ters. As to wisher these twenty-onemothered maidens were handsome andclever, opinions differed markedly.Some of the daughters were good-look'Ing but undeniably dull; others wereclever but plain. Not half a dozencould come within range of the speci-fications.- When Jhe^conscnsns ofjplnlpn wa£about to pounce upon Miss Blley, whoheaded the list of "suspects," anotherbit of Information leaked out. Thawoman wanted wna a stenographer.Here the search for the guilty one be-gan all over. Miss Rlley was wealthy.—her shUv accommodations and herdress denoted that—so It^must beBorne one else. But after consideringthe quallacatlons of other possibili-ties for hours nn1 end.

Butparadoxically, In this Instance, par-tisan meant cnein;. '

The ship got hectic about It, and be-cause of It Win Sliutu got Into trouble.

Ho was watching tho poker game lathe smoking room when tho IOOHO-jointed conversation1 switched to theunsolved mystery of tbe ehlp—theidentity of the fugitive from Juutlce.Eventually there was an argumentover the demerits of Mies Hlloy... Win Shute wns nngry at mention ofher name. To him It was contempt!hie that It, should ho dragged In andbundled about over booze and pokercblpa.

Two men—one nn .ordinarily decentchap who bud tiffin a little- too much,and the other a cynical, uolf-contuiuei!man, the best poker player at thetable—brought tlio unmanly dlncuu-«lon to a precipitate conclusion.

Crow Farmer's •""'Friend and Foe

"Twice as Good as He Is Bad,"Writer Says, of Persecuted

Bird.

IS BACKED BY UNCLE SAMKills Young Chickens and Destroys

Eggs of Other Birds, But on1 Other Hand He Kills Field

Mice and Insects.

Washington.—The United States bi-ological, survey sends, out n bulletinnbont the crow. It says thnt the big,

• black fellow is the farmer's friend nndshould not be exterminated, nnd Itgoes on to assert thnt many crows re-cently exnmlned were found to eat 88per cent grain nnd <12 per cent Maybeetles, tussock moths, grasshoppers.gypsy moths, army worms, chinchbUKa*and brown moths. So he Is about twiceOS good ns he Is bnd.

But the crow also kills young chick-ens and destroys the eggs of otherbirds, George F. Burlin writes In theL'olumhus Dispatch. Charge thnt upagainst him along with the 3S per centgrain which he eats. Then on theother hand, set down a large numberof field mice and cutworms which healso pets away with and there is stilla balance in hls-favor. Besides, muchof the grnin the crow eats would hewasted anyway, since he picks up thescattered kernels in the fleld and eatsQ let of very poor corn and wheat thatwouldn't he any account to anybodyelse.

• Hunted Become Intelligent.The government bulletin isn't going

ather, however. Everybody takes a—ehot— at—n-crow—n-m?never^he~gets^n

they have become very Intelligent.Take note of that—anything that Is

warred upon or hunted lecomes Intel-ligent. The hunted birds nnd animalsacquire knowledge and cunning, orwhatever you wnnt to call It. v Other-wise they would disappear.

If crows were stupid-and sat around^on fences when they nee n nmn In thefield ..with a gun; If they -built theirnests where the nests could he easilybroken up; If they did not help eachother by giving warning of nppronch-Ing danger, there would be no crows.But everyone seems to be nn enemy ofthe glossy fellow, nnd he knows thntbe must keep at a safe distance....

HOW TOP8Y WON

TIQEIl and Tim were two kittens,and while their mother, Mr*.

PUBS, tried to bring them up as well-mannered kittens should be broughtup, those two naughty kits quarreledall the time.

Topsy Kitten, their Bister, was a nicequiet little puss, and Mrs. Puss wasvery proud ot this one well-behavejchild, you may be cure, and that wanone reason her brothers never misseda chance to plague their sister becauseshe was always held up to thorn as amodel.

But the one thing they never for-gave was what took place In the barnone day, though It was not at allTopsy's fault but their own.

Mrs. Puss had altered a prize to theone who should catch the first mouse.It was to .bo a red ribbon (or theirneck anil enchonq; of-course,- want-ed It.

"Oh, we will get the prize," snldTim to Tiger. "Topsy Is so nice shewould not run after a mouse. Let uugo In the barn and watch this iiiorn

Then I can wear the ribbonafternoon when we sit out In front Inthe sun."

""Neither of you will get It If yonstand there quarreling," Bald Mrs.Puss, giving each of her sons a tapon their eara which sent both send-ding Into the barn.

Tim sat down by the biggest hole,and Tiger said that was not fair, sothey pushed each other about untiltheir mother, hearing tne racket cam*-ha and settled the dispute by sayingthey both should flit,by the hole,.andthe one who caught the mouse wouldhave the prize.

It was a long time before the mousecame out of his hole, because they hadmade so much noise, but at last he didcome, and such a scramble yon neverdid see. Over boxes and palls andrnkes^nnd-hoes-they-nlHlewr nod-thenTim caught It, but Tiger took It awayfrom him, saying that he saw It first,and that the mouse belonged to him.

Tim Kitten said It was hlB, and hebegan to push Tiger, and the first4btng-*4h«y—knew they hrul forgottenall about the mouse, which had es-caped and wns running for Its hole.

Mischievous Nat Bennett lovedto linger In those days before the Im-pressive gates of the entrance, watch-Ing the squirrels scamper across thelawn. There was little resemblanceto the mischievous Nat, In this digni-fied and austere Nathan. But ambi-tion had , brought JtS-own^rewnrd. -.and.Groundley place was his own.

1,500 BEADY FOR COURSEMany of tho Men Are Illiterate and

Mutt Bo Glvari a Course. In Ele-mentary Work to Fit Them,

for the Farm Course.

Washington.—Moro thnn 4,000 dls-nbled ' ei-servlce jnen "have been di-rectly placed In agricultural trainingnnd In addition there are probably COOengaged In prevocatlonal work pre-paratory to a course In agriculturaltraining. Perhaps 1,500 moro havebeen approved for the course;

Special placement has been suggest-ed and Is being eought for tuberculousmen In hospitals and sanatoria.

The men~approved-foniBrlcultunil~training mny be classed Into threegeneral groups:

(a) Men who went Into the warfrom college or high school, and, re-Liirnliig, havo entered the agricultural

ordinary education, for fenir. of losingthcm_trom th&farm. -Many.have hadno opportunity. Such are usually old-er men, 15 or 20 years past countryschool age.. Many of the men aretherefore practically Illiterate, andto this number, must be addedthe foreign Illiterates; that Is, for-eigners who are Illiterate from theEngllsU standpoint.

These difficulties constitute a realproblem to the federal board and thoinstitutions to which these men aresent. State Institutions are not al-ways* prepared to do the elementarywork necessary, to advance the men to*|a iSiowIedge of English and mathe-matics where they can receive and bebenefited by the agricultural training.

However, without exception, tnestate Institutions are convinced It 13their patriotic duty to assist the fed-eral board In making preparation toextend tho necessary prevocatlonaltraining, and hove changed wonder-fully In. favor of training disabled menln.splte_ofJhelr_educatlonnlJiandlcapst| Lawren'

I Rats Carry the Bubonic Plague

Methods of destrojtng^rats areoutlined In printed matter preparedby the United States public healthservice .for the use of state and mu-nicipal health officers In the campaignwhich they have been asked by Sur-geon General Cutnmlng to InaugurateIn order to protect the nation from1)ubonlc plague. The activity of .thehealth service results from the- ap-pearance of the plague in Mexicanand American gulf ports.

Bats can' be destroyed by trap-Ping, by poisoning, and by using catsand dogs. "To Insure the success ofthese measures it Is necessary to cur-

_ _ _ _disposing of garbage and table refuse,and by preventing rats from gainingaccess to foods.

Highly-savored articles, such ascheese, and toasted bacon, will at-tract rats more quickly than will foodwttfaxmt-odor-Hmt-the-ldeii that n fat

can be enticed Into a trap by tne employment of a bnlt more appetizing to,him than the surrounding food supply Is fallacious. To the rat, food supplyIs a question of availability, and preference Is a secondary consideration.

Hat proofing excludes "rats from the-food supply ~and deprives them ofharborage. Without tills procedure It Is almost Impossible to reduce 'them.

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS.

While fresh berries are to abundanceIt |s timely to can- some for winter use

for shortcakes andpuddings. Crushthe fruit, such asraspberries, blackberries or anysmall fruit, untilsmooth then addequal measure" ofsugar. Let stand

several hours in a cool place; th«ncan In jars wtylch have been well ster-ilized and place, covers on, In n coolplace or IHnSeTcTcBolr^ FlUrthe"jars"and seal, place on the cement floor ofthe fruit closet or 'In the back portof the Ice chest If roomy enough to,accommodate a half dozen Jars. Suchfruit will be rich and Just as fresh aswhen canned.

Rhubarb and Raspberry Conserve.—A most delicious conserve using- twoparts rhubaiib nnd one part raspber-ries with equal weights of sugar, allcooked Jmtll thick. Any fruit such asstrawberries, cherries or blackberriesmay be used In the same proportion.When one has plenty of pieplant andfew berries this method Is especiallyrecommended, as the pieplant Is usual-ly plentiful and cheap, while the ber-ries are more costly. The productseems to be so largely the berries toflavor that the rhubarb only adds In

Rhubarb Conserve. — Take fivepound's of sugar, five pounds of rhu-barb, four oranges, two pouncis^orral^sins. Boll the orange skins until tend-er, discard the water. Grind the skinsand fruit and cook all together untilthick.

DUAFT DESERTERSConsidering the fact that the willing

support of tbe American, people to se-lective service was the corner stone oftlie creation of our great army and oursucceHuful military achievements, the

__W_ar. Department- does-not deem itproper to pursue the policy of unjusti-fiable leniency towards those who de-1

lihorutely evaded military service.Tbe creation of the huge army which

WHS sent to the battlefields abroad wasthe result of the Selective Service Actof May 18, 1917.

Although critics of American insti-tutions predicted that (n the event ofn great war, the people of the UnitedStates would fail to ride to the full

lits of patriotism and »elf-sacri-Jn defense of their country, because

f nellish motives and foreign influ-f'neon, the war has proven that the old\merican spirit of sacrifice and services not only alive, but more widespread•taif ever before.

During the period of active hostilities,lie Government waa assisted by thearious officials and agencies in appre-eudiug draft deserters; a small buton^ttint,rstream -of,-whom-were- beiiig:

elivered to posts, camps and stations;ut because, of, the fact that those daysvere crowded with other matters ofnote importance, special attention couldlot be given during that tiniu to theulining down of the comparativelymull number of draft deserters.

After the discontinuance on Novem-_ r 11. 11)18 of mobilization and iuduc-inrr under-the Selective-Servicetaw,he War Department began at once toinsider the question of proper disposi-ON tt> be made of a|l those registrantslussilied by the draft authorities as

Ira ft deserters, with a view to definitelysettling their status and punishing, tlieguilty.

For this purpose instructions weremet) on December 23, 1018. to the

ocnl draft boards to aggregate fromthe IM.000,000 records of draft regis-trants, those nien reported during theterfod of the war as'draft deserters.The Kbipiiient to Washington of theserecords amounting to 489,003, began inMarch, lull*. Investigation showedUnit a comparatively small proportion

f the nearly half million men reporteds draft deserters could be considereds wi l ful offenders.

In the reduction of this number, thefollowing- clans of persons, numberingiboiit 108,000 men had their case* dis-posed of during the war.

a. Registrants who enlisted in theArmy, Navy or Marine Corps, butfoiled to inform _theirllocaLboiiulji_of.the fact.

b. Men who failed to reportmilitary duty, because of ignorance ofthe Selective Service Act, but who,after, learning of the seriousness of tbeoffense reported to military camps forservice, uud were restored to fluty, after

" "nctorily Knowing that their "WHS not willful.

c. A small number of persons, whoduring the progress of the war wereconvicted of desertion, or dischargedas physically unfit for service.

d. Registrants who died a f t e r theirinduction orders were mailed.

Of the remaining 325,000 named, therecord* of 151,000 showed that theycould not properly be charged with de-sertion, and the records of 173,000registrants revealed that they had beenordered to report for military duty andwil ful ly failed.-JJUlLof over 24,000.000 .registrants,the maximunriiuniber chargeabIe~wTHrwil fu l desertion fa 173»911; consider-ably less than one per cent, of the totalregistration, and a tremendous Improve;
