Good Work of Former Lowell A. L. Auxiliary

Told in Brief The Lowell American Legion

Auxiliary was the only unit in our district t o fill its quota of membership by Dec. 20. for which a national c i ta t ion will be given. Our quota of 90 is set by state headquar ters , but while we have filled our quota w e welcome new members. Some ladies w h o are eligible do not Join because they are unable to at tend meet-i n g . We wish to assure them that the i r t l .50 dues a re a great help as the demands on the Aux-il iary a re many.

The American Legion Auxiliary is pure ly an organization of ser-vice, the social side being only incideDtal. The w o r k of the units is to help maintain t h e American L e ^ o n hospital find the United States Veterans hos-hospital at Battle Creek and the chi ldren 's billet at Otter Lake. The Auxiliary uni ts throughout the s tate provide practically alt of the pleasures that come into t h e lives of the inmates of these insti tutions, supplying them wi th clothing, luxuries a n d gifts on special occasions.

At Chris tmas our Depar tment Rehabili tation commit tee w r a p -ped 3,753 gifts wh ich were sent to 345 sick and hospi ta l i ied ser-vice men throughout the s tate and 714 in the hospitals at Bat t le Creek. The packages contained combs, handkerchiefs , socks a n d candy ; 341 baskets of f ru i t a n d half-pound boxes of candy w e r e sent to all pat ients at the Ameri-can Legion hospital ; One h u n d r e d baskets were sent for service men_ in Detroit hospitals. Needy families o f ex-service men throughout the s tate who do not come under Legion posts w e r e provided for by the State Rehabi-litation committee. Nuts a n d Chris tmas t ree decorat ions w e r e provided for the Chris tmas p a r t y at Battle Creek, depar tment of-ficers taking par t in the exercis-es.

Since October you r local unit has sent 100 quar t s of frui t , 6 pai rs of pajamas, 2 ba throbes a n d : one pair of s l ippers to the bos-, pital at Baltic Creek; paid in $10 to the Neiman Scholarship f u n d ; $10 to the Chris tmas fund ; $2 for the Picture and Pillow f u n d ; ?8.49 for the November b i r thday par ty at the hospitals and sent a cra te of oranges to the Children 's Billet for Chris tmas, besides do-ing local Chris tmas work. We al-so sent to the hospitals the con-tents of our Service Basket, cn-sisting of soap, razor blades, tooth paste, shav ing lo t ions ,candy cigarets, gum, etc. This service basket is open at all times for do-nations of personal articles that the hospitalized men might use.

It was voted at the last meet-ing to have a Valentine Bridge par ty on Februa ry 12 and it is hoped all of our members wil l turn out at the next meeting, which will be Februa ry 4, to as sist in the plans. R. R.

Our good townsman, R. D. Stocking has received from the widow of his late son. Charles Stocking, a letter of sympathy from Lieut. William D.

IMPATIENT YOUTH.

A young newspaper man from n suburbnn district in one of the populous centiTs of the state, nt n session of the Michigan Press nssocintion nt its recent meeting, voiced his disapproval of the pro-gram, which hail includeii a sym-posium of opinion on "The Ideal Country Newspaper f rom the Viewpoint of"—'n Preacher , a Lawyer, a Doctor, a Merchant, and a Ranker. ' the motive of which was to enable the country Journalists present to 'See them-selves at i thers see them.' the i thers in the case being eminent-ly able to qualify in the mat ter .

For one who has heard, t ime and again, for many years, ev-ery phase of problems confront-ing the rural newspaper publish-er discussetl pro and con and fore and aft . the program was an in-teresting and profitable varia-tion.

But. for the young man in the case, whose experience at such gatherings has necessarily been brief, it may have been irksome and seemed a beating about the bush, which hovered many—to him— more important and im-minent questions, and his urg-ings brought him to his feet of-tener and kept him there longer than comported well with the shortness of the session and the number present.

It reminded us of another ses-sion of the Michigan Press asso-ciation many years ago.

The subject under discussion at the particular moment w a s "Newspaper Heads."

A gentleman who had been jumping up repeatedly all during the session and taking up an un-due proportion of time, popped up again and began:

"Mr. Chairman. I am not much on heads, but I"

"Rap! Rap!" went the chair-man's gavel. "I notice." said the presiding olllcer. "that some of those who are not much on heads are very much on their feet."

Thereaf ter the program was permitted to proceed its even way without interruption by the man who 'was not much on heads.*

A PROFITABLE GOOD UNDER-STANDING.

No small compliment to the country press of the state is the fact that the members of the Michigan Press association have been chosen as a medium of com-luunieation between the manage-ment of the Michigan State col-lege and the farming people of Michigan, implying, as it does, the close relation existing be-tween the rural and small town editors and the Michigan Agri-culturalists, a fact that wil l bear investigation if one doubts it.

Year af ter year, the country editors of Michigan have held their Winter meetings at the Michigan State college, where they have imbibed with the gen-erous enter tainment and hospi-tality enjoyed much of the spirit of this fine state institution.

If the Stale Press has respond-ed in kind, it is only natural , fair and just ; and a spirit of reciproc-ity has resulted that is good for all concerned, which includes all the people of Michigan, young and old. both urban and rura l .

Four Owoaso young men have been sentenced to long t e rms of imprisonment at Jackson by-Judge Leland W. Carr . of the Ingham County circuit court, who rebuked an Owosso a t torney heading a delegation asking for clemency, an attempted in ter fer -ence wi th the course of justice. Boys w h o ore deliberately enter-ing upon lives of cr ime in spite of u multi tude of warn ings against such folly, must find the law a stone wall upon which they wil l beat their heads at their own cost and sufTering. So to say is not vindict ive cruel ty but is simply stat ing the cold, bare and inevit-able f ac t ; and so let it be. Go straight or suffer the conse-quences . That ' s the lesson.

Mostly because ^reat bodies move slowly, a considerable heated criticism is being vented upon Congress. Whether much o r little meri ted, the fact remains that Michigan, par t icu la r ly Wes-te rn Michigan, is splendidly well represented , both by Senator Vandenberg and Congressman Mapes. If o ther districts are as well repres-mted. Michigan will not suffer by comparison or in the protect ion of its great and varied interests.

KNOWLEDGE. By Edgar A. Gacat.

If I were great as the greatest a re .

These I should want to k n o w : A little house wi th Its door a ja r ,

Ground where a rose can grow, Int imate f r iendship wi th planet

and star And things of the ear th below.

Not all of my s t rength would I give to men.

Not all of my time t6 fame» I should want books which our

dreamers pen. Books and a fire's br ight flame.

And a lways a kiss and a welcome when

Homeward at night I came.

I'd per ish with fame that would counsel me

Ever be swif t , be s t rong. Blind to the beauty of p lant and

t ree And deaf to the wild b i rd ' s

song. The moan of the wind and the

roar of the sea. H u r r y your way along.

If I w e r e great as the greatest are.

Still should I want to know A little house wi th its door a ja r .

Books in a careless row, Int imnte f r iendship wi th c rea ture

Bev. Karl Reefer, of the Pot-terville Methodist church . In his address on "The Ideal Country

Newspaper ," stressed the opinion thot community newspapers have taken no sufilcient part in the combatt ing of denominat ional ism among churches and against the object ionable mult iplying o f

merely sectarian churches in communit ies ahVadyovvr-church-

ed. We believe that the con-t ra ry is t rue and that the press in general has not only not failed in this respect, but that it has gone as far in the matter as is consis-tent with its attitude as a purely moral public servitor. The dis-advantage of duplicating church plants and services and result ing useless and profitless overbur-dening of their supporters for merely sectarian reasons or for the purpose of magnifying trivial differences has been refer red to and protested against in the pub-lic press so often that how it has escaped the attention of the rev-erend gentleman f rom Pot ter -ville is a wonder to say the least.

Mis reference to the home pa-per a mere gossip sheet is per-haps not entirely unmeri ted un-lesr, one considers that the home paper must of necessity strive to give its public what it demands; and if gossip is all Mr. Keefer can see. he finds it in the society col-umns of the city dailies as well

in the local columns of his own home weekly.

As the wr i te r said at the Lan--ing meeting we infer that the reverend gentleman has been un-for tunate in the selection of country newspapers upon which to base his opinions.

Finally, Brother Keefer, "The Ideal Country Newspaper" has not yet been published. It is only an ideal toward which many-are striving. It Is at present unat tainable and like the ralllen-ium may be far away, but still to be hoped for. When we ar r ive at ideal churches , ideal preach ers and ideal communit ies, the Ideal Newspaper will not be far away.

E D I T O R I A L S From Pens of Othar Editors

T H E POLICE COMMISSIONER'S PROGRAM.

Harold H. Emmons spoke no more positively than a police commfotioner determined to do his duty should speak when he sa id :

Mayor Bowles has asked that Detroit become a pleasant and a safe place for the ci t isens to live in. It is my intent ion to make the city safe w h e t h e r you are on the street or in your home. We will enforce the law as we have it t o the u tmost . Those w h o cannot agree wHh us can get out of this city. We wil l have a fo rce of 3,600 men to see that the laws are obeyed."

Nevertheless, Mr. Emmons Is

essary by a governor of Mlchi gan. The cour ts a re supposed to in terpre t the laws and hand out justice in accordance wi th the penalt ies provided by law f o r each class of cime. Great leeway was given them in this respeot, and until the advent of drast ic prohibi t ion • measures t h e i r competency t o deal wi th c r ime of all kinds was never quest ioned. •.

It seems a s t range thing that t h e only laws w h i c h the courts a re charged wi th ignor ing are those relat ing to prohibi t ion en-forccment . We have the spec-tacle of judges sentencing rob-be r s and guntoters to prison wi thout mercy, who, in r e tu rn re> bel ai being compelled by legis-lat ive enac tmeni to impose heavy penal t ies upon first t ime viola-to rs of a l aw purely social in na* tu re , regardless of wha tever ex-tenua t ing c i rcumstances that may have been uncovered whi le pro-secut ing the case t

If Mr. Smith's ad- fair provision for the inevi table vice is heeded, a more watchfu l ra iny day, is the average man's att i tude may be expected «'» «he best outlook, including a just pro-part of the state edi tors in the 1 vision for one ' s r ightful depen-future .

We regret that we lost our notes on Mr. Smith's summing up of "The Ideal Newspaper ."

As we remember it, it ran something like this:

"The ideal newspaper is the reflection of an able, honest and sincere editor, whose pr ime mo-tive is public service ra ther than the amassing of great weal th ."

That , at any rate, is the heart of the message; and we giadly subscribe to it. qual i fying it merely by the statement that an editor*! ability is up to his Maker and is not his own responsibil i ty. He is accountable only for his use of the ta lents given him.

Th is we de-termined the while a gentleman, whose guest we were , on our way to the Press meeting, was por ing over dusty old records in the State Tax Commissioner 's office, l ie thought the time might prove to be wor th $5(K) to him. What our hour in the State Museum may prove wor th to us, and through us to others , who can say?

The Ledger has been officially-requested to warn dealers anent sales of cigarets to school chil-dren that fu r the r violations will invite the severe penalties pro-vided by law for that offense. It is to be hoped that the warning will be duly and promptly heeded fo r the welfare of all con-cerned.

Detroit haa a new police com-missioner , Harold H. Emmons, who announces h is purpose, in co-operat ion w i t h Mayor Bowles, to make the Michigan metropo-lis "a pleasant and safe place to live in whether on the streets or in the home." He announces their intention to enforce the law to the utmost, and thot he will have a force of 3,000 police to ca r ry out the program. Those who do not agree a r e advised to get out of the city. The re speaks a brave man, and every decent citizen will wish h im good luck and success in his under taking. Every city, t own and com-munity in America, should join in a dr ive to exile the gangsters w h o a r e l i terally conver t ing o u r fa i r land into a Hades. The en-t ire coun t ry should be made too hot to hold them.

Ledger readers a re reminded that its editor does not necessar-ily c i ther commend or condemn the ideas promlugated in our "Edi tor ia l s by Other Edi tors" depar tment . Rather , the pur-pose of such publ icat ions here in is to afford our readers oppor-tunity to get the thoughts of other editors, a l though they may be diametr ical ly opposed to our own.

The fact , how-ever, is indisputable .

If Mr. E m m o n s Is able to ac-complish what he aims at, t he change in condHions in th is city will be so big as to be well nigh revolut ionary.

This letter was received March

With tho assistance of Charles Held, then Superintendent of Tele-graph for the Michigan Central Railroad, two lines were strung, one between the Michigan Central telegraph ofiice and freight sheds, and the other between the otllces of tho Michigan District Telegraph Co. and the odlce of the local newspaper publisher. Over these two lines tho human voice was first t ransml ' ted In Michigan. Soon after, a third line was constructed connecting the drug store and lab-oratory of Frederick K. Stearns.

In 1878, through the support ot u group of business men. Detroit's first telephone exchange was born. Now supplanted hy tower-like sky-fl .Tapers, the old Telegraph blork v.-hich occupied tho southeast cor-r t of Oris wold and Congress rlreeta, housed that first central otflce. Boy switchboard operators v e r o employed, ond only eighty Milwrlbors were llBfo j In the first telephone directory. Numbers were i a uiu'd. calls belmr placed by giv-i •, tho oii.'intor tlio nomo of the F f.-on (! •';< 1.

In 1S!U the fin undergroind t 'cphono cable was laid In Detroit. 1 v 1893 there were telephones in Michigan's metropolis. By 1900, there were 11.630 telephones In De-tiolt. In 1910 there were more il in (ifi.OOO tclophones in the city aii'! In 1920. MS.fiOO telephones.

dancing. Joe and Alice had a 'gill terlng dream of their being billed at the Palace some future day In an act of their own.

They realized but vaguely the rocky way they bad chosen as an outlet for ambition. Their In-structors were rather glib with praise and assurances of engage-ments. This boy and girl never paused to reflect on the fact that tho puvements of Broadway are pounded every day by the feet of clever, experienced dancers and chorus girls who troll from mono-ger to manager for weeks, vainly seeking work, living frugally on their scout savings.

With the elasticity and egotism of prime youth, Joe and Alice gazed Into a gilt mirror thot gave them back always the image of sure suc-cess.

Suddenly, one evening, come the quorrel thot parted them. In the months of separation that followed neither Joe nor Alice distinctly re-member how It started—Just one of those trifling dlfTerences thot mount from the InslgnlUconce of hot words and bltternesi. Both felt that the other one had cruelly and Intentionally misunderstood, ond they ported with the words, "I'm through," flung ot each other.

One evening Joe had on un-worthy desire; he wanted to wound Alice as retaliation for tbe suf-fering he felt that she was to blame for. So he escorted another girl, with whom he was but slightly ac-quainted, to the theater where Alice was usher. Joe waited in the dim lobby lights until he saw Alice standing at tho head of au Isle. With stony deliberation he walked over to her, the now girl on his arm, and held out the tickets—with out the slightest sign of recogul tlon.

Alice, even in tbe dimness, rec ognlzed him at once; but she met his discourteous gesture with per feet calmness, and ushered the two to good seals quite as if they hail been the usual strangers. Joe slipped bis hand In his fKicket and held out a quarter to the girl he loved—did It casually, wllh almost debonair IndlfTereuce. Alice trem bled inside, hesitated the merest moment, then received the tip with poise and aplomb, softly whisper Ing, "Thank you, s lr l"

Alice lay long awake that night and wondered how Juc, eveu If he hated her, could have behaved si cruelly. And Joe tossed about on his narrow bed. slung with the con sciousness of an unworthy deed.

The next night be went lo tin theater Intending lo apologize ami beg his sweetheart to make up.

At the theater there was no Alice She had left. Joe telephoned ber boarding bouse. Same answer; Alice Johns bad gone without leav Ing an address.

So finally Joe knew deep sorrow and remorse. What a fool he hod been. Piecing together the fromi1

of angry words that bad parted lliem, he now saw all too plainly that his cue would have been to toss a good natured laugh and a smile at Alice's bit of "temperu-meiil." Thus the break could have been avoided; they would still be pals planning marriage. Well, that was thai 1 But It did not make his heart any lighter or his outlook any brlghler.

Cupid Is a kindly god and truth Is stranger than liction; two facts which explain many miracles in the regions of romance. Tlie little winged divlnlly did not Intend to lose bis game of hearts with Alice Johns and Joe Baxter.

Joe was waiting for a fare in front of the Folly theater on Broad-way. A trim vision in a seal coat swept out of the entrance toward his cor. Her face was bent toward the pavement to avoid a driving blanket of wet snow.

Just another chorus girl, thought Joe, us he started for the whispered addresH in the Fifties. Once there he tipped his cap as a slim hand extended the Indicated amount and o bright quarter extra through tbe open window behind him.

"I've been hoping for u chance to pay that quarter back, Joe," said a silvery voice that set bis heart to leaping.

'Alice I . . . It can't be youl" "Let's forget our troubles, J o e -

end if you're still dancing come around to the theater at ten In the morning. Perhaps I can gel you on engugement with me in u new pro-duction."

"You mean It. Alice?" And that Is how Cupid won.

Tip* on Ramoving Tar

If your car has been spotted with oil or tar, you can remove the spots by first soaking them with luhiicni-ing oil or warm lard and then go-ing over theui with a weak solution of mild soup dissolved in water. Dissolve the soap in warm water first, let it cool and then add cold water.

who was absent minded and didn't care for dancing, he decided that "Fair Rosamond" must lack a sense of humor. Having made this decision, fatal to ony man's Inter-est in nny woman no mailer how fair she be. Nell finally dismissed the hope of meeting the eldest Miss Finch, and became absorbed In his business of manufacturing nuts and bolls, with occasional excursions into society.

One afternoon when the fever of spring was In the air ond he could not remoln Indoors harnessed to the routine of a busy ofllce, Nell got Into his cor and rode out East avenue to the country club. The Finch residence wos on East ave-nue, and he had passed Mrs. Pinch and the younger girls In the shabby cor driven by a middle-aged col-ored mon. Tbe Finches were poor in this world's goods, but, as they came of a good old family and had many rich relatives, the fatherless family went around a great deal and entertained occasionally.

Just as Nell reached the Finch residence he became aware that the machine needed water. It was second thought to stop there and apply for a pall of water. People In Westvllle were always neighbor-ly, ond as there was no public go-rage thereabouts, Nell Jumped out and hastened up the graveled drive and around to tbe buck door. A girl was standing with her back lo him banging out a snowy wash-ing of clothes. She wore a pink sunbonnet, but he could see a couple of clolbespins prolnidiiig from the depths of the honnet.

"Good morning," he said In his pleasant voice. "May I have a pail of water? My car—" he did not fin-ish the sentence. He paused in dismay, for the clothespins were re-moved from the loveliest of lips and the face turned to his was never that of an ordinary maidservant. Such rare beauty could only belong lo the sister of Cella and Ethel. She saw his embarrassment and smiled gravely.

"Water? Certainly," she said, In a voice which made Ills pulses tingle. "If you will come to the house I will give you a pall; there Is water In the garage, but you may as well fill tbe pall In the kitchen." She led the way into a grout kitchen, immaculately clean, where an ancient colored woman, crippled with rlieumatlBtii, sot in a comfortable armcbair by the fire. She croaked hoarse protests when tbe girl gave Nell a shining pail.

"Please be quiet. Aunt Heppy," chidcd the girl.

"I tun sorry to trouble you—I didn't know that 1 might be Inlrud-Ing—I am acquainted with Mrs Finch and her diuighters and—"

"You must be coming to dinner tonight, then," suggested the girl. "1 recognized you at once—I am Bosamond Finch." She held out a hand roughened by housework.

Noll took her band. "May I stay a llltle while and be kitchen com-pany?" be asked.

Bosamond looked doubtful. Then a wave of color Invaded her fair-ness. "I shall bo glad, Mr. Lati-mer, but you see It would embar-rass mother and the girls If It were known—you see Heppy la crippled, as we cannot afford another maid. 1 come out and help. Heppy di-rects me and 1 love to cook—It gives the younger girls a chance to go about. 1 must fly around now, because there Is dinner to get. Con you mix mayonnaise?"

Noll never forgot that hour spent In tho kitchen with lovely Bosa-mond Finch with old Heppy nod-ding her while-turbaned head ap-provingly.

That night at the happy. Informal dinner party for which the Finches were famous, waited on by the man who drove the car. Nell saw / isa-mond again and she seemed another girl; she bad retreated Into some cool grotto of thought, but his se-rious eyes, with a hidden appeal to her sleeping heart, brought her out, and gradually he saw her coldness melt.

During the weeks that followed Nell learned more about the Inter-esting family of girls who main-tained their social position on a de-pleted Income, until tjiere came a day when they had to unpack Mrs. Finch's oA-n wedding dress and veil for Rosamond's bridal. After oil, tbe "eldest Miss Finch," who bod contentedly stayed at home In the kitchen, was the first bride, and Aunt Heppy, who hod turned her Intu a famous cook, was almost as proud as Nell himself as tbe brido came up the aisle. "She looks like a lovely statue," said some one that day.

Neil only smiled. He knew that beneath the marble there was tlame —had he not kissed his Galatea into life?

"Run out ihtit |.one Tom." ho ordorod hoiirscly. "A shot Mwlxl his masta, CufToe."

Chnlor luiil iho woathcr pauRo, nnd manouvorod oxpertly to make U.HO of the ailvaniUKe: but the Con turlon could sail two knots to the True Bounty's ono. and a couple of round-shots between his masts seemod to convince him of the hopolessnoM of his pIlRht. lie lay to while ihe hrls overhuiiled him and roundod Ids stern In position lo rake, Fellowes dominating her crowded decks, his siiuht figure taut with repressed energy.

Above, on the lofty poop of the True Hounty, Chnlor glowered sul-lenly. beside b in Hen Inglepin, nn expression of well-nnurished resent inent clouding tlie merchant's chubby countenance. Cara, muf-fled in a great coat of fur, clung to her fatiier's arm. There was cu-rlocity in her glance, but no fear ; and ns often before, Fellowes was constrained to admit a grudging measure of respect for her.

The Centnriofi camt hack, with a dip of flapping canvas, and hoi waiting to be hailed, Inglepin bawled angrily:

"What is tills thnt you do. Cap-tain Feiiowes? You bave reason to know this vessel. D'you not see the colors she flies?"

"I'm not assured you hnve • justifiable claim to that ling's pro-tection, sir," Feiiowes answered shortly. "Captain Chater, I'm com-ing aboard to examine your pa pers."

"Purty nigh piracy, I'd say," whinnied Chater. "A iettor-of-marque daon't give ye tiio right to B'arch American vessels."

Nimrod Sopher nudged Feiiowes' elbow.

" TIs as he says." murmured the lawyer-marine. "Look to your com-mission, my friend. Tiie private shlp-o'-wnr Is distinguished from the regular naval vessels by a lim-itation of her legal exorcise of hos tlllty and supervision."

4,I didn't ask your advice,' snapped Fellowes. "It comes late In the day. Mr. Spencer, you'll take the ship. Tom. call away the longboat's crew; you go as cox-swain. Yes, Cuffee, you. too."

In the bustle of mustering tbe boarding party, no one on tlie Cen-turion noticed the disappearance of tbe Ingleplns and Chater from the True Bounty poop. Indeed, when the longboat pulled under her lee the only members of the mer-chantman's crew In sight were young Rorke nnd the heimsmnn, but a rope ladder had been low-ered from the waist, and Feiiowes climbed Its jerking rungs without a thought of danger, bidding bis men follow blm one at a time. He reached the bulwarks' level, and Tanlted carelessly to the d e c k -to be pounced upon by a doxen get-

men, WTifWP hairy, brown paws ef-fectuaily sealed his lips. In the background Chnlor hovered, whin-nying orders:

"That's right, mon! drab the durncd pirate. I caic'nte he'ii do for a iiostage. More, one o' ye cut loose tbat laddti."

But the last word was still wet

on his tongue when a ronr resound-ed from the bulwiirks. Feiiowes glimpsed n gigantic black shape sailing through the air and crashed down on tbe dock with tlie rest of the dozen as CulTop bounced into their midst. Right and left, the negro kicked and struck, legs ond arms hitting with ferocious ac-curacy.

Hoif-bllnded, dazed, battered j sore, Fellowes staggered to his feet,

thinking fo support Cuflfee's charge. But a pistol cracked boiiind him. and he spun around in time to see Chater drawing a second weapon. And instinctively, without con-scious olTort, the Long Islander snatched for ids pistol, and pressed the trigger.

Chater's green eyes widened be wliderediy; the pistol slipped from

"Well, Naow," He Snarled, "'Mur-dered Me, Ain't Yt7"

his hand, his lingers clawing at bis chest.

"Weil, naow." lie snarled. " Mur-dered me, ain't ye? '

And lie Hopped on tiic deck, n touseied heap of garinents, leaking rustlly.

"Will you bave my surgeon?" Feiiowes offered perfunctorily.

"No use. But ye won't l lnd-wiiat ye want. She's ag'ln ye, Workln' for —British. But ye'li never knaow—not for sartain."

The grotesi|ue chin dropped, nnd Feiiowes uiulersiood tiie man was dead—was surprised, too, tbat lie should experience neither satis-faction nor compunction. Here was no time for retiection. Tbe longboat's party, pouring over the lee bulwarks, were driving the True Bounty's crew for'ard into the fo'c's'le, no difllcult enter-prise, for tiie spirit had gone out of tlie ship's defenders, and they flinched under tlie Huts of cutlasses and Tom Grogan's hearty abuse Nimrod Sopher, tailing tiie hoard-ers, of course, was wringing his hands, ughtiHl at the sight of Cbu ter's body.

"My dear Lion! Whnt a misfor-tune! And a delicate question in admiralty law. .Manslaughter—in fact, it may lie murder ou tlie high seas—"

"Captain Fellowes killed Captain Chater in self-defense, sir," Cara Ingiepin's voice was low-pitched and steady, and there was color in iier sun-warmed cheeks us she stepped from tiie cabin companion-way. Ben ingiepiu, wiio followed her, was much ies, muster of him-soif. ills hands shook, and ids mouth wobbled nervously. The duenna, hiilowing after them, funereal in black, tier fat hands clicking a rosary, her heady eyes roving and probing, was us pfdeg-matlc as eve - she had been in I'erenha. "You saw it with me, fa-ther?" Cara appealed lo Ben.*"Ca|> tain Chater fired first A dastard-ly shot!"

"A most iaiuentabie Incident." quavered Ben,

Fellowes was puzzled, nonplused, by Cara's testimony for him, the more so, as Sopher twittered Imme-diately:

"Ah, then, tlie case is simplified! Two witnesses, two Impartial wit-nesses should nullify any attempt at prosecution. But I will, with your permission. Lion, proceed to take depositions, and draw them up In due order. T i s a safe-guard—''

"We bave more Important work to do than nccoontlng for tbe death of tbat scoundrel,'' Fellowes Inter-rupted sternly. And for tbe first time be looked Cara ID tbe eye. disturbed by Ihe directness of her gaze, tbe ahsencc of any Indica-tion of a sense of guil t "1 nm un-der a certain embanmssmeut, ma'am,** he vontlnued, trying to keep his voice level, to hide from her tbe distraction ber mere pres-ence caused' In blm. "I must ask you to pledge me yoor word of bouor you nnd your attendant bave no papers upon yoor iiersnns."

"We iMte none," she replied readily-

"And yoor luggage? 1 am loath to search It."

"You'll find nanght. sir, of any Import."

"You say this upon your word ol honor?"

"Upon iny word of honor," she repeated haughtily. "I am, what-ever my sins, not one to practice lies, sir."

Ben Inglepin hemmed fussily. "Since we are upon the subject,

Captain Fellowes," he remarked, "I will give you my word of honor tbat no documents other than those of a strictly business nature, are comprised in ray effects."

"Then what Is tbe purpose ol your voyage?"

" T I s revealed In tbe ship's pa pers," Ben answered with new found suavity. "A commercial ven I ture to Spain. 1 am persuaded the war will soon be ended, and am

anxious to establish satlsfactorji connections with Spanish clients against that eventuality."

Miss Inglepin abruptly gave them her back, and Fellowes conceived a suspicion that she meant by this action to divorce herself from con-nection with ber father's asser tlon.

"I am compelled to doubt you. Mr. Inglepin," he replied. "1 inusi detain yo i on deck while your lug-gage Is examined." _J!he merchajit shrugged hlg shoul-

ders, somewhal ilgliMiearteffly, Fel lowes Imagined, his bearing sim-ilar to that lie had displayed af ("hater's house. Hut the realiza-tion that his task would not be easy only stIITened tiie Long Island-er's determination.

"Cuffee," he called, and when tbe negro approached: "You are responsible for these three people. Keep them here until I release you."

"Yah, Mars'r Feilowe*. Yo' look fo' lettaii?"

"Yes." Some quality in CulTee's tone made Fellowes expectant. "Why?"

"Yo' wait fo' see, Mars'r. Yo' no fin' him iettab below, Cuffee make JuJu fo' him."

Going through the True Hounty's clearance papers, manifest and log. ond ransacking tlie contents of Chater's desk and locker, Feiiowes waa disposed to favor tiie employ-ment of ail the JuJu at CulTee's com-mand. After Hen Ingiepin's cabin had been searched with equai un-success, he called in tho Contu-rion's hands to hunt for loose lioor-boards or concealed wail closets; and they lore tiie cabin to pieces— quite fruitlessly.

Frustrated at each point ho as-salied, Feiiowes was striding the fo'c's'le deck, cudgeling his wits for some nook or cranny lie hadn't attempted, when Tom Orogan ac-costed him,

"Cuffee'll have a word with yo, Cap'n."

"About what?" "I dunno, but he's mortal llcbln'

for I t Wanta to know can be bring his pria'ners for'ard?"

Recalling the negro's talk of JuJu, Fellowes' interest waa awak-ened.

"Toll him lo come along, Tom," he directed.

And presently Cuffee shepherded tbe Ingiopina and tbe duenna to the fo'c's'le.

"Him big debbli—" Cuffee nod ded to Ben Inglepin—sweat plenty ebery time yo' walk on fo'c's'le, Mars'r."

"Yos?" Fel lowes prompted. "Cuffee make JuJu. Mars'r. JuJu

tell Curree him iettab been on fo'c's'le."

Feiiowes looked sidewise at Inglepin. ^Tliore were tiny bonds of moisture on the merchnnt's fore bend, despite the evening cool Cam, however, seemed serenely In different, nnd tho duenna was con-tent to click away at her bends.

"Sir, this Is nonsense," protested Ben. "Will you permit n supersti-tions negro to incommode per sons, who, for no fault of their own, happen to he In your power?"

"Whore are those papers con cenlod?" Fellowes demanded stern-ly-

"Pnpers? Why, you hnve had ac-cess to all we possess."

Cam Inglepin turned away with a faint sigh. Cuffee, wandered softly about tlie deck, touched va-rious objects with bis bands, his eyes close-lidded, darting snakily at tbe merchant's face, bis lips moving in a guttural refrain;

Ing a quizzical stare from iier Ji^Tv eyes. Surely, the tat woman mocked him I But why? And why should Cara Inglepin, who shortly must answer at tlie bar to a charge of high treason, pity him who had taken her? Ah, and why should ho ask himself such questions? What did they matter? lie had won; he nnd his vengeance. He and Joshua would crush these people us—as—CulTee's twenty-four-pound shot should crush the Badger.

"Yos, crush the Badger, crush Colllshawe, crush those people-crush them all. All! lie must hate her the more vigorously be-cause she smiled, because she pit-led him, because she knew how des-poratoly ho tried to hale.

He Htillod a groan. "A fire under each hatch. Cuffee.''

he ordered. "I can't spare hands for iinolbor prize—not with the Badger lo flidit."

CulTee crowed delightedly. "Ida ( 'hater sidp him make

plenty Id;; lire. Oh, my aunt, we see him too long time oft. Whoosh I Him bubn to sky. Yah, yah, yah!"

So haired nnrnod, Feiiowes thought, annihilating, all-consum-ing, destroying even tbe soul that kindled It.

"Oh, my aunt Mars'r Feilowe'I Him iettab in anchor-stock!"

Feiiowes stnred unbelievingly, bnt the negro pointed to Ingiepin's gap-ing consternation while with bis other band bo pulled out a plugged section In the end of one of the balks of timber thnt stocked the henvy bow-anchors.

"My God!" exclaimed Ben. Cam's face was devoid of feel

Ing, but she stepped forwnrd be side her father, squarely In front of Feiiowes:

"I knew not its hiding-place," she said icily, "since 1 refused longer to be concerned with secrecy. But, 'twas I, no less than my fafher, who drew up that pnper, and se-cured the signatures. And I am responsible for having Interestedf Lord Wellington and the Prince Re-gent's ministers—"

Ben Inglepin emitted a groan of despair.

"Oh, hnve done, have done." he begged. "Are we not sufficiently exposed to fids man, who would ruin bs? 1 fell you. Cam, he and your rmcie wilf see us hong!"

"And" ff we merit ft. sbnll we complain?" she retorted. "We have made a east, Father. Lei ns not weep for having test."

Stormy Seas.

SH.KNCR cloaked tlie Centurion as a twist of flame flickered up

from tlie True Bounty's for'ard hatch. There was something por-tonlious In tho spectacle which im-pressed the roughest sailors. Tills was no ordinary act of destruction. It partook of the character of an execution, tbe condign punishment of a guilty fabric. The ship was dying, as her master had died, ns l>orliups her owners should die In retribution for the offense of which she had been a par t

The Ingleplns, standing apnrt on Iho brig's poop, watched with a kind of sorrowful fascination. When the mn its of the dying ship crushed overside, and a murmur of comment broke the silence on the Centurion, Carp caught her breath and Ben Ingiepin's lips framed a curse.

Fellowes, eyeing his prisoners uneasily, fancied there wns some-thing symbolical for them In thp True Bounty's fate, but tlie punish-ment of the ship would be accum-piished In much simpler fashion than the punishment he must see dealt to them. Soon, very-soon. Ihe charred remnants of the True Bounty would be rent asunder, nnd she would cease to be. But for Cara and her father remained all the long-drawn agony of public dis-grace, the rancor of factional hos-tility, the torment uf the law's de-lays. Surely, a punishment suffi-cient to satisfy any hatred, even Joshua's. Yes, even his own—ex-cept that It didn' t Perhaps noth ing ever would. At the mo-ment, he realized, he hated Chater dead as jiucb as be had Chater living.

Ben Ingiepin's voice, fretfully In-sistent, pierced Ids reflections.

"Certainly, Feiiowes! Have you not some corner to which my daughter may retire? 'TIs Insuf-ferable she should be kept on deck,"

"I have arranged thnt she and her attendant shall occupy my cabin," Fellowes interrupted. "You, sir, may have the quarters of my second lieutenant. You will be re-stricted to the after-cabin and the poop. Am I plain, sir?"

"Sufficiently," Ben assented, flushing. "May we go below, then?"

"Within the limits prescribed," rejoined Feiiowes.

Turning on ids heel as the Ingle pins loft file poop, he saw tlfat the True Bounty was gone. Only the frosty glimmer of tbe stars re-lieved the darkness.

For Fellowes the voynge ntrw was Irksome almost beyond bear-ing. He was impatient to come up with fhe Badger, and the Inev-itable daily confacl with Cara em-barrassed and hamssed blm. And Be* Inglepin, too, was ccntinuiilly In evidence, » set look on bis plump face* as be stared fnio the gray mlsttf fhat hid Ihe west.

Fellowes forced himself to speak, harsidy. mechanically.

"But to seek him out! To bunt him—ns ono beast hunts nnotherl Must you nnd James, you two of all the world, be deadly enemies f o r — f o r - " her voice snnk to a wiilsper-"my mistake?"

Touch-ing her, lie had a mad desire to em-brace her, to cover her mouth with kisses. If that was his price, she'd pay, he had no doubt She was no coward. But he beard himself saying gently:

"You make too much of this. Miss Inglepin. We are all on the rack of fate."

"Fate?" she repeated, drawing away from him. "You should say bate. 'TIs an III thing, sir, and recoils upon him who sponsors I t

She had pluck, this girl, Fellowes owned, but resolutely he curbed tbe admiration she Inspired, bowing coldly. Implacably.

"If It please you, ma'am! ( must remove you to the Centurion. Will jou show the men your iuj^age?"

She smiled, and he hud an un-comfortable sensation that she pit-led him.

"It does not please me, s i r ; but I'll be a docile prisoner. Come. Fa-ther !"

Times havoj greatVg changed, even. In thirteen yeara o r so. Thou-sands more travel t a and fromt for-eign lands. Talking to. people over loag dlntaijtces by telephone Is a commonplace experienca In o t r itvea. A commurclal ahlp-to-sbore telephoue service now meets a need of trajwallantlo travelers. During these thirteen yearo much has been learned and many contributions made to theory and practice In the field of rsdlo telephony. The scien-tist and engineer have been contin-uously at work at Deal Beach. New Jersey and other experimental Ita-lions of tho American Telephone and Telegraph Company.

One of tho great dlfQcultles to be overcome In the rendering of thla now and specialized telephone ser-vice arises from the fact that the receiving and transmitting stations aboard tbe Leviathan must be lo-cated clciio together, while radio ^lepbone etat iom for receiving and

Na^* York, and from there to your tele-phone in Atlantic City. And all this happens In a fraction of a second.

The antennae used for shlpto-shoro radio telephony aro Interest-ing, especially in one respect. In the cr. -: c!lrr.3-*:,,*.in',!; I!:; course is along fairly well deilncJ lanes which make It pos'lble to sis 3 directive antennae far transmitting to them and recclvln'; from them Directive antennae are of very greet value sin:e t iay concenl-."42

Similar to. construction and operation to mnch. smaller tubea used In telephone xepeaters on land circuits,, the water-cooled tubea p lay an all-imfortant tola h i smpM-flcajdon. Instead o t tbe whirling wheels and flashing sparks charac-teristic of tbe wireless to Ita early stage*, the vacuum tube, to a quiet and efQclent manaer. amplifies t ha tiny electric currents from tbe tele-phone transmitter several mlllloa fold. These oerreuts ara sent to tbe transmitttog antenna from which radio waves are projected, strong enough to carry the human vglce over tbe hundreds of miles of space.

Today wo can talk to but one ship, the Leviathan. But like all the other scientific developments to the field of communication the Bcr> vice Is expected to spread from one chip to n s o t h T un'.ll, within a few years what la now a novelty will be a commonplace, and people will think no more of calling a friend on a ship anywhere at sea than they aow do of telephoning from one city to anrther.

Why Worry When A Want Ad Will Solve the Problem?

If you need a job or want help, have

lo i t an article or found one, want to

exchange an article for another,

want to find the whereabouts of a

lost relative or friend—whatever per-

plexing problem may face you, the

aurest way to solve i t is to place a

want ad in this newspaper. Past ex-

perience proves that they bring re-

sults. The cost is low.

"BONKURA T R E A T M E N T BROUGHT AMAZINGLY QUICK

RELIEF TO MY STOMACH TROUBLE."

Burton Man Had Given Up Hope, Stomach F ine Now. Tried

Other Medicinea, Bnt All Failed.

MR. CHARLES VOSBURG. "For many years I was the vic-

tim of constipation, s tomach, kid-ney and liver t rouble," raid Mr. Charles Vosburg, P. O. Box 13, Burton, Mich. Gas pains and a s luf ly c rowded feeling were fea-tures of my indigestion. After eat ing peaches and ccrtain kinds of f rui t , I would spit up a hot liquid and part icles of undigested food. I w a s t roubled wi th dizzy spells f rom disar ranged liver and have been subject to backaches and pains across my kidneys.

"Bonkura Trea tment proved to be just t he medicine I needed, be-cause it went right to the spot. The first t rea tment cleaned out my system and corrected my stomach disorders . In a week 's t ime I felt myself again, could eat anything, had no more dizzy spells and my kidney t rouble dis-appeared. I can not praise th is marvelous t r ea tment h i g h l y enough and gladly recommend it to any one."

My Dear Mr. Johnson, 1 With interest 1 read your edi-torial in last week's issue of your paper comment ing upon my re-cent verses "Peace On Ear th ."

Please bear in mind that I had no par t icular individual in mind,

land that no personal attack was intended.

| Your hear t rs in the right place when you say "no decent

{human wants to hang any one Jupon any kind of a tree." But, ' sorry to say, there are many in-Jdividuals not as char i table as yourself . That class 1 had in

[mind par t icular ly . The spiri t of Chr is tmas is di-

rectly opposed to conflict, en-mity a n d murder , whatever form the lat ter may take. But there

| is a class of people, even includ-ing some ministers, so r ry to say, who nre loud procla lmers of

["brotherly love," "good fellow-ship," "Peace On Ear th , " and similar, w h o are such perfect hu-mans. and so love their fellow-men that they could shout their "Hossannahs" at Chr is tmas time, o r any time, for that matter , and support the s inceri ty of their praises by spilling the blood of a fe l lowman at the same time. Vile h>T)ocrites.

Isn't it r idiculous to argue which is the most "humane way" lo take human life? Can there be such a thing as a humane way? How ridiculous to say: "I wouldn ' t be so cruel as to hang you on a Chris tmas t ree ; I would be good to you and shoot you."

I do not doubt at all that there are people today who would fav-or reviving Ihe methods of the old Spanish Inquisit ion and the Bastile as a means to suppress cr ime.

1 Let's see some of the kind of people w h o support capital pun-

] ishment. Let's analyze the editorial of the Free Press. (De-troit ,) appear ing in your last issue. In part , it says: "It would not be quite so bad if the thugs would prey only on those who are determined they shall j not be made to suf fer the one adequate penalty fo r their

] crimes." Did you ever heor a

more barbarous statement than that. Liltle Tyran . Free Press, would slay all who opposes it. A modern Napoleon. Would you ake the same stand, Mr, John-

son? It takes the stand that there are a lways two sides to an argument ; the w r o n g side and our side. Editors, lhal is, some, would like to reserve "f reedom f the press" for themselves. What could a f ree people expect at the hands of such a despot as Little Ty ran t ? Do you suppose for a minute that any of the Press ofll-cials would ever pay the penalty if qualified to receive it. they urge for o thers? Ask me some-thing harder .

You are to be commended. Mr. Johnson, for your sense of fair-ness in th rowing open your col-umns to both sides of a controver-sy. Certainly Little Tyran t would never do so.

Please do not regard anything contained herein as directed at you personal ly. Alone, one man would be ra the r small opposi-tion.

It would be interest ing to know whether the good phi lanthropis t who pays the medical bills for the little girl you mentioned in your editorial is a one o r Iwo way man.
