tlement workers, the one q real mis-.
sionary, an out.and.Out kidnaper, de-
termined, irresponsible, unavoidable
ana as dangerous as live electric
wire. The other Of mllder type, is well
parlOr-trained, soft of speech, precise
In manner, Of nice, attractive, winsomc
ways. The first, like buccaneer, fights,
her way, grabbing every soul-prlze In
sight; the second wrlggles herself into
the hearts Of the children and the
mothers.
"rhe temple Of the settlement, how.
ever, shelters a third type, and dang.
crOus one ut that. He Is the natural
product of the socialism Of the settle
mcnt, which Is religion Of social SCI
ence. n fellowship Of almost pure
nnturalism, into which, II God is taken
into consideration mt all, 1t Is only as
fancy or circumstances may suggest or
suit.
1T Is from this brotherhood that the
shaggy-headed anarchist and the platl.
tudinOus socialist are evolved, bundles
incarnatc Of misguided theories and Of
energies rs direfully harmful as tho
bombs which, in their wicked ingenuity,
their too skillful and experienced
hands manufacture for the destruction
Of their fellow creatures.
ut IL to this class among the workers
that the red flag Is dear, the flag whose
color Of fire and blood bctOkens, and IL
an incentive to, the destruction Of prop.
erty and Of life; the flag whose very
color is the stain Of Cain, which calls
down the vengeance Of heaven"
Father Curry then turned to the
financial side Of settlements.
"IIave you ever examined one Of
their budgetsY" he demanded. "YOu
will easily discover that by far tho
greater portion goes to the workers
themselves. For example Il am giving
you bona fidc report), out Of $21, 900
received just $4,000 goes to the work
ers for salaries, keep and unnamed
miscellaneous items, which may be
caramels, theater parties, auto rides
and the like, leaving just $4,000 to be
expended on and In the neighborhood.
Look further, You will discover that
the $4,000 comes from the poor Of the
ncIghbOrhoOd In club rents and club
fees and from surplus Of a regular
bath Klondikc. All the cash charity Of
the clubs patrons is thus taken by the
workers In payment for an expenditure
Of very little energy In collecting the
cash contributions Of the poor.
mo one could reasonably complain II,
In the administration Of these clubs, the
workers received the 4 cents and the
poor man and the neighborhood the II,
but II that were the case our fine set.

tenanted monuments Of folly"

scared. Indeed it is no exaggeration
to say that for many minutes they
feared death, but finally they reached
the other side of the stream The
messenger from the deserted house
awaited them on the bank To their
delight he had not met with any
difficulty beyond that which came
with the storm and the rain. A sud-
den gust of wind had blown the Ian
tern out, and as all of his matches
were wet, he was unable to repair the
misfortune.
Kelly and his companions prepared
for the still more serious part of their
adventure. A fine mist was now fall
ing; it was dark and disagreeable.
The wide banks of the great river
were overlooked and they had a four
mile march to the Big Ben distillery
through the low marsh country, be-
ing compelled at intervals to wade
through mud and water up to the arm
pits.
Kelly took the lead with his assis.
ants following some distance behind.
He headed straight for the Big Ben
distillery. Detective Brooks, with
another detail of men, was after
another establishment in a different
section. Things had been planned so
that the various chiefs should stimuli.

ernment officials connected with the
revenue at New Orleans
They began work almost immedi-
ately upon their arrival in the Cres-
cent City. They separated in order
not to create any suspicion; but every
night they met Mr. Brooks for report
and instructions. All of the big dis
tilleries in the neighborhood of New
Orleans were shadowed; their proprie-
tors closely watched, and a never-fail-
ing tab kept upon every one of the
government officials connected with
the revenue. There was fine detective
work to be done both day and night.
1t lasted for many weeks, and when
the climax came and the results were
accomplished in a single night, the en-
tire country was startled by the re-
suit.
The establishment on which the
greatest amount of suspicion was di-
rected was a big distillery on the
other side of the river But while the
detectives were morally certain that

gers. Kelly with admirable presence
OF mind quelled their fears. Bits of
sticks We're whitfield and plugged into
the holes. Several of the secret SER
vice men with sponges and tin cans
prevented the boat from accommodating
any great quantity of water. With
these expedients they managed to pro-
gress fairly we'll. Suddenly the chief
oarsman uttered cry of dismay.
What's the matter?" asked Kelly.
"The lights Quit"
Sure enough the light in the window
of the deserted house had been ex-
tinguished. All sorts of forebodings
filled their minds. Could it be that
their carefully laid plans had gone en-
tirely astray? Scarcely! Could the
man in the house have been attacked?
That was possible. At any rate they
continued their journey to the other
side 1t would not do to weaken at
this stage Of the game no matter what
the consequences. The boat rocked
dreadfully at this point. They were

of the mans voice made them feel
that mutiny would be suicide.
1T looks mighty dangerous, boss
muttered the chief oarsman. "That's
why the boys are so slow"
1T is mighty dangerous" retorted
Kelly. That's why l want the boys
to be quick"
They started off with a will. the
turbulent waters dashing over the
sides of the boat and splashing the
faces of the passengers. Kelly fully
realized the peril of crossing the
river on such bad night but his
fears, If he had any, were kept quietly
locked in his own breast. A second
boat followed Immediately after the
first. In it was detail of soldiers I'M
der the command of a commissioned
officer and these were all subject to
the orders of Detectives Kelly and
Brooks. Kelly was in the first boat
and he encouraged the lusty oarsmen
to do their best. They worked like
Trojans. At times it looked as if the
rickety boat might capsize and throw
them all to the bottom of the muddy
stream. All were alarmed. To add to
the terror of the waters, it became so
dark at times that the oarsmen could
scarcely follow their course. Kelly
pointed to the light in the window of
the deserted house.
Boys" he said, keep your eye on
that light"
They did so, pulling away against
great odds. Once the boat sprung a
leak and there threatened to be a
panic among the frightened passen-

house. And night after night he was
confronted by great banks of heavy
impenetrable fog. Finally one night
when patience had almost ceased to
be virtue, bright white spot ap-
peared from out of the gloom.
1t was the lantern in the deserted
house
Kelly pulled out whistle and sum-
moned his men at once They respond
ed with alacrity and in a few minutes
were in a big fat-boat that had been
kept on hand for the purpose. There
had been heavy floods in that section
of the south, and the Mississippi river
was swollen to an abnormal size. The
secret service men, armed to the
teeth, entered the boat in a few Sec
onds. The colored men who were to
do the rowing showed some hesitation.
Come on, you rascals," shouted
Kelly, get in that boat and get to
work"

an Illicit business was being conduct
ed there, they were without positive
evidence upon which they could pro-
coed, legally. For the purposes of this
article the place shall be known as
the big Ben" 1t was guarded day
and night by armed men and any
strange person coming within firing
distance placed his life in jeopardy.
The problem was to catch the pro-
moters of the concern red-handed-
to find them in the very act of distill-
ing and shipping illicit liquor. The
first move toward this end was to
smuggle several secret service men
into the inside. They secured employ
ment in the establishment and thus
kept tab on all of the queer happen
ings Of the place
That was only the beginning. The
next most important step was to ar
range plan of signals by which the
United States officers could be guided
in making their raid There was a de-
serted house on the side of the river
where the distillery was located, and
it was decided to make use of this as
a signal station. One of the detec-
tives was supplied with a large lantern
and provided with key to the house.
On the first night that the conditions
were favorable he was to so into the
third story front room of the house
and place the lighted lantern in a DO
sition in the window where it could
be seen on the other side of the river.
Night after night Detective Kelly
waited on the New Orleans side of the
river for the signal from the deserted
