the eleyen-inch hardened steel plate

rible impact that the finely balanced

worked with perfect ease. and the

the havoc was much less apparent

Then followed a futile attempt Ia
destroy the newly designed fighting
mast on the stern of the Florida.
After five shots had gone through II
the mast stood firm.
Forty shots would not bring II
down and no enemy would waste am
munltlon and time shooting at it,
was the expert comment.
Il was predicted that all the new
ships will be equipped with masts OF
this design. The story of the shoot

sas, however, Is not contained in this
statement OF the results. II was an

Yes. because all other trains will
be searched"
Seigo shrugged his shoulders in dis
gust. He would have uttered a pro
test In words had not his companion
checked him and continued:
III you are careful you can get to
Chicago. where other friends of mine
will help you. Then you must try to
reach Canada as best you can"
Seigo hesitated a minute before de
Gliding; but II was obvious that no bet
ter means was available. Together
the two men crept through alleyways
and back streets to the outskirts OF
the city. until they came 10 the hovel
where lived the truck farmer on whom
they placed their hope. He, expsr'
fenced in the ways OF the Americans
through long residence in California
and standing In dread Of the law, was
At first loath to undertake the part
assigned to him; but the clink Of gold
coin overcame his fears. and In the
end Ssigo sought sleep In the bottom
Of q covered wagon while being driven
to the place where he was TO assume
new role. He felt alone and deserted
when the gardener departed. leaving
him standing at an intersection OF rail
way tracks waiting impatiently for a
freight train on which he was to make
his first excursion into trampdom.
1t came at last. q heavy snorting To-
connective pulling long trailer Of emp

ing. watched for a signal from the
lonely little tower. and came to full
stop. Seigo, with his heart in his
mouth, clambered through the side
door OF an empty car and was soon
travelling westward to the rhythmic
clank OF wheels on rails. Fatigue q;
last overcame him and he slowly
dropped into restless sleep in which
he was pursued by demons and con
fronted by unknown terrors. He was
aroused by a brakeman. who roughly
punched him in the ribs with the toe
OF his boot and told him to Hike
QUIT" He sat up and blinked his eyes
until again ordered to vacate. and
then came to his senses sufficiently tc
make a plea for himself. which was
unavailing. The brakeman was oh
durate and threatening. until the sp,

THE CHURCH COLLEGE

II Is worthy of more than passing
notice that the general assemblies of
both branches OF the Presbyterian
church are brought face TO face this
year with the problem of education,
and that they both take the same de-
cided stand against permitting their
seats OF learning to be tempted from
under church control and moral in
fiuences by the offer OF large endow-
ments of money. No greater menace
confronts our country than the posi-
BILE decadence of the small sectarian
college.
Modernism demands freedom OF

Goddess speculation. in reality, prison

Paducah's new military company Il

Paducah's new military company is
starting under favorable conditions.
All are volunteers and no names were
solicited. The personnel of the com
pany is excellent. A company located
here will be in a strategetic position
and the boys no doubt will see most
OF the active service in this section.
For that reason they should be faith
full in the discharge of their obliga-
lions to the organization. They are
performing citizens duty in serving
in the national guard. Citizens will
take pride in a crack company, and
will encourage the honest efforts OF
the guardsmen.

SERGEANT ORDERS FLAGS

Under the senate bill that the
United States nag must not be used

ordered down from in front OF the

stantine, a Greek, by Sergeant c. A.
Blake, of the local recruiting station
' of the United States army. Constan-
tine has had two flags out for several
days and printed on them was an ad-

complied with the order in a hurry,
and explained that he did not know
it was a violation OF the law.

The last time attended my old As- sociatlon in East Alabama we had room to spare though about twenty or thir- ty of us stayed at the home of brother near Mill Town. His house had about three rooms and one kitch- en, his heart had about two dozen rooms and a commissary attached. Six, teen of us slept that night in one room. It was filled about a foot deep in seed cotton, each fellow was given a spread of some sort and he made his own pillow with the cotton. It was a blessed, happy occasion. Song and story and jest and laughter kept the drowsy ones awake to late hour. but when near midnight Morpheus stilled the tongue of the last loquacious brother, not even the performances of the fellow who slept out loud could disturb the peaceful slumber of the crowd, for "He giveth His beloved sleep"
