An arti ficial dawn wakes the hen, the sunrise, and more food in for the poultryman. Electrically lighted greenhouses are used to force plants to a quicker, richer blooming than natural light would give. Now the insect world is to tion of some of the pests that dens. Many a clumsy moth flame of lamp or candle, but never before has wholesale killing been planned through such means. Such creatures have been most readily attacked, not in the winged stage, but in the cocoon or as larvae. Now to catch them on the wing will be a triumph for science. A method has been evolved. Electric light traps will be placed in the orchards to lure the female moth before she lays her eggs in the heart of the apple blossoms. Success will depertd to some extent on the time of day when she emerges from her cocoon and the length of time that elapses between her birth and her egg- laying, f If she does not corns out in the full light of day and is attracted by the incandescent traps, her fate and that of her innumerable progeny Electrocution may halt the destructive march westward of the Japanese beetle which has already crossed New Jersey and is now wintering its front A plan is proposed to place this voracious insect, in large it concentrates. . Eventually man will perfect quitoes nnd other harmful insects will be exterminated, and then the lot of the fanner will be easier and life will lose some of its little annoyances. FILCHING RIDES Every mode "of travel has its parasites. At sea it is the stowaway, and his tactics have remained the same from the era of sailing vessels down to the modem liner and the days of restricted immigration. On land there has been more variety. Thirty years ago the railroads were the main high ways for the wanderer, who was content to view the country from a freight car door. Once these travelers were numer ous' enough to be a pest to train crews. Now they are not heard of so frequently. Have they taken to the automobile? With their instinct for wandering, they may have seen that the great state and ' national systems of highways offer thent the best oppor tunities. They depend on the good will of the autoist to "get a lift," and on the fong stretches, away from the popu lous districts, they are generally successful. The spread of this habit of accepting or soliciting rides is an imposition on the good nature of the auto owners. Their real object, of course, is to save carfare. The whole thing amounts to a petty hold-up and should be stopped. The hobo's way of stealing a ride does not differ so much after all from the more up-to-date method of begging a ride. 4 1$ $ Q $ COVE PERSONALS Hy Mrs. ,. (i.

Theodore Roosevelt had been chosen by the president to be governor -general of the Philippines. The resignation of Dwtght Davis nad been expected for a long time. And it was common gossip around me capital that when it did come, T. R." would take his place. Roosevelt has had marked success with his Job of governing Porto Rico. He was in Eastern Asia when ap pointed to the post in Porto Rico. One of the first things he did was to buy a Spanish grammar. By the time he reached Porto Rico he had learned It by heart and was a bl- llngulst of sorts. It was this attitude of. Roosevelt's which aided him in his work. He Porto Rican" as long as he was governor. SUNSET PASS srNOPSim Although Thtov Preston Mill not admit that she trnovs her father and her hrothcr. Ash, are cattle thieves.

"What!" ahe cried, pride and fear in one gasp. It did not take much of a pull to get her into his arms, and in an other moment he had her helpless, lifting her from the ground, ber face close under his. "Thtry, don't you lore me a very little?" he asked, deep tenderness thrilling in his roice. "No! . . . Ob, let me go!" ahe im plored. ' "Be honest." "I can't be . . . I'm such a liar." "Thiry, I lore you so wonderfully. Ever since that minute you stepped in Winter's store. . . . Didn't you like me then or afterward?" "I suppose ( did. But what's the use to talk of it. . . . You're holding ne In a a most shameless man ner. . . . Let me go." "Reckon ('11 hold you this way a long time. . . . Till you say you love me a little." She essayed to free herself, but her strength fell far short of her spirit. "Then you'll bold mo until day light when Ash will see you." "Well, say a little short of day light. Reckon I can get along with that for a while." f '. "Oh please please! . -i .v True man, this (s outrageous!" "It sure Is. 'Most as outrageous as your deceirln' me." "How have I deceived you?" she demanded, vibrating to that. "For one thine carlo' about me llllle. . You do. don't you, Thiry?" "Care about you? I suppose I 1 did , else I couldn't have been such fool as to go to that dance. But wliat'8 caring? . . It certainly doesn't glvo you license to hold me against my will." Well, I reckon that depends on what you mean by care. I'm arguin1 you love me a tittle bit. Sure I've prayed enough for It." "You pray! You're a nne Chris tian." she retorted, scornfully. Christian or not I ve sure prayed you'd love me.M "Then your prayers have been nn answered as mine nave been, she said. In mockery. Thiry. I must make sure." "How?" "Reckon first off I'll kiss you couple of thousand times and see it I can tell by that." "You wouldn't dare!" "Wouldn't I, though. Sure I'm a reckless cowboy. Now watch me." And with action at strange vari ance witli his bantering words he hent to kiss her hair again and o?aln and again, and then her ear. and last her cheek, that changed its coolness tinder his Hp. "Thero!" he whispered, nnd drew lior head back on his shoulder so her face would be upturned. To" his piercing eyes tho darkness was as if It were not. "Sure they wero only worshipful kisses. ... Do you hate mo for tuern?" "I couldn't hate you. . , . Please let that do. Let mo go before It's too . . . Trueman, I beg of you." "It (j too late. Thiry, for both of ns, he whispered, passionately, and lio hissed Iter lips and then again. with nil the longing that consumed him. "Now will you confess you love me a llttio?" he asked, Huskily. "O God help me I do I do!" she crictl, and her eyes seemed deep accusing gulls. "More than a little? Thiry. I didn't expect much. Sure I don't deserve It. . . . But tell me." "Yes, more." And she twisted to hide her faco, whito her left arm slowly crept up his shoulder, and went half round hla neck. "That's what was the matter with me." "When did you know?" he asked, amaied in his Incredulity. "Just now. . . . But I knew there was something wrong before." "Thiry, bless you! II thls's not a one-sided affair, kiss me." ".Vo no. ... If I give up wo're ruined," sho whispered, tragically. "Snro we're ruined if you don't. So let's havo the kisses anyhow." "Trueman. since I nover can rrarry yon I I mustn't kiss you."

He has Inherited much from the older "T. R." Their manners and speech are much the same, III Own Trail In Porto Rico, say his friends, he had bis firsj. opportunity to prove himself.

I'd go loco if l.tbougl!t you'd be my wife some day. . , . But just now make Ibis dream come, true: 1 wan't your klses, Thiry." "I daren't It's not fair." "To whom?" "You." "I'll risk It . . . Thiry. I'll com promise. I'll be generous. Just one but not like that fairy kiss you gave me on Winter's porch." "Trueman, If I give one it means all . . . ten million will follow," she said, tremulously. "Dear, I'll save the nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, and ro forth. . . . Come." . - And lifting ber bead he turned her face to his. "You are wrong to to master me this way." she rejoined, mournful ly. "If you knew you might not want it" "Master nothin'? I am your slave. But kiss me. Settle it forever!" How slowly she lifted her pale face, with eyes like black stars! In the sweet Are of her lips Rock gained his heart's desire. Then she lay In his arms, her face hidden, while he gazed out into the stormy night, across the black Pass to the dim flares along the battlements of the range. His vic tory brought happiness and sorrow commingled. "Now, Trueman, explain what you meant by my falsehood to all?" she asked, presently. 'Are you quite prepared?" he re turned, gravely. "Sure it's not easy to rush from Joy to trouble," She sat up, startled, with hands nervously releasing their hold. All about her expressed doubts, mis givings, but she bad no inkling of what he bad to reveal. "Thiry. you are keepin' Ash's and your father's secret from all." "Trueman!" she cried, as If ber own mind had deceived ber ears.. 'They are cattle thlevc3 Beef thieves. So are your brothers Range, Scoot and Boots, along with I tbem." O my God! You know!" she al most screamed, and slipped to ber knees before him. "Hush! Not so loud! You'll wake some one," he said, sternly, placing a Arm hand over her mouth. "Oet up off your knees." But she only loaned forward, clutching him. peering up into his face. "Trueman. how do you know?" she gasped, convulsively. "I suspected it when I first came. I found signs. Quicklime! That made me suspicious. Slaglo's well Is halt full ot hides. Sure those hldos have not tho Preston brand. . . . Then over near where they butchered last I came on the same boot track that I'd seen down near the slaughterhouse. I trailed that track. It led under a culvert. There I found hundreds of bides, tied up la burlap sacks. Most were old. but some were new. I opened one. That bide had a Half Moon brand! Down here at your barn, one day. after the dance, I measured Ash's boot track. It was the same as that one I'd trailed. . . . But for real proof, I heard your Dad and Ash talkin' togother. One night I hap pened to be out, thlnkin' of you, watchln' like tonight Yonr father and A:h came out, right to the log whero I sat. I lay down. . . . And I heard them talk about this. They gave it all away." "Oh, you were a spy." she burst out, in bot agonized words. "I'm afraid I was." "I knew It would come. ... It will kill me," she wailed, brokenly. "Oh, to make love to mo while you were spying on my brother my father!" "Little girl, I told yon to speak low. . . . Reckon It does look pretty bad to you. But It's not so bad as It looks so far as I'm concerned. But, Thiry. you're in this secret and you would bo held guilty In some degree In court, it your part In It was found out.

"Reckon that Is liable to happen." he replied, wanting, stern as the task was, to Impose upon her once and for all tho peril of the sittiUlon. "Y'ou'd betray us!" Swift as a striking snake her hand darted out nnd snatched his gun as It rested against his thigh. Leaning back, she extended it with both hands. "I'll kill you!"
