"Ah, yes; I fancy the vultures will

'My! how smart we're getting!" re-
torted Blake. Don't worry, though.

polite enough to keep out"

you should wish to drag us away from

Blake looked him over critically,
and nodded. That's no lie, old man.
You're entitled to hospital check all

chief nurse. Make him comfortable as
you can, and give him hot broth when
ever he'll take it. You can do your

The open season for deer and pheas-
ants ended at midnight November 80,
and the reports to the state game
commission indicate an exceptionally
heavy kill of the former. APPROX
mately 500 ducks were taken. The
law prohibiting the killing of does was
generally observed, and only few
were shot. The pheasant season was
notable for the scarcity of female
birds. This presages a shortage next
season. The commission has reports
of about 700 bears killed, and the sea

County officers who were elected
last month throughout Pennsylvania
will be commissioned for only the
three years for which they were elect
ed, but will actually serve four years
because their successors will not have
been chosen before that time. This
is the substance of an opinion rem.
dered recently by Attorney General
Todd to Secretary of the Common.
wealth McAfee, in response to an in
curry from the latter as to whether
the commissions should be made out
for three years or four The newly
adopted amendments to the state con
stitution changed the terms of county
officers from three to four years, but
this of course could not apply direct
ly to officers elected at the same time
the amendments were adopted. The
amendments also provided, however
that county officers be elected on odd
numbered years. This means that the
successors to those elected in 1905
for three years cannot be elected in
1912; the election cannot be held un
til 1913. Therefore, all county officers
elected this year to take office in Jan
uary next will serve until January
1914. Attorney General Todd decides
that this will be so under the provi
sion of the constitution that such Off
GERS serve until their successors are
duly qualified.

"Now, Don't Get Mad.

Now, if you've stared enough at the
ladys skirt"
The threat of discovery stung the
girl to instant action. With almost
frantic haste, she scrambled down to
the lower branches, and sprang to the
ground. She had never ventured such
a leap even in childhood. She struck
lightly but without proper balance,
and pitched over sideways. Her hands
chanced to alight upon the remnants
of leopard skin. Great as was her
fear, she stopped to- gather all to-
gether in the edge of her skirt before
darting up the cleft.
At the baobab she turned and gazed
back along the cliff edge. Before she
had time to draw second breath she
caught a glimpse of Blake's palm-leaf
hat, near the crown of the ladder tree.
"O-o-h!-he didn't see mel" she
murmured Her frantic strength van
ished, and a deathly sickness came
upon her. She felt herself going, and
sought to kneel to ease the fall.
She was reused from the swoon by

Prescriptions Not General.

Some people look on doctors pre-
scription in the same light as u cook
cry recipe and pass it on to their
friends for general use. They forget
that some symptoms may come from
totally different causes and that to
take a medicine prescribed for a
friend is very risky thing to do and
may do great deal of harm.

CHAPTER XIV.
Fever and Fire and Fear.

MA tossing and groaning on the
@~ bed of leaves which Miss
Leslie had heaped beneath his canopy
Though not delrious, his high tempera-
ture, COUPLED with the pains which
racked every nerve and bone in his
body, rendered lin light-headed. He
would catch himself up in the midst OF
some rambling nonsense to inquire
anXiously whether he had said any
thing silly or strange. On being reas
sured upon this, he would relax again.
and, as likely as not, break into a
babyish wall over his aches and pains.
Blake shook his head when he
learned that the attack had not been
preceded by chill.
Guess he's in for hot time" he
said. There is more'n one kind Of
malarial fever. Some are a whole lot
like typhus."
"Typhus? What is that?" asked
Miss Leslie.
Sort of rapid fire, double action
typhoid. Not that think Wins got 1t
only malaria. What gets me is that
we've only been here these few days.
and yet it looks like he's got the con-
tinuous, no-chill kind"
Then you think he will be very ill?"
well, I guess he'll think so. 1t
ought to run out in week or ten
days. though. We've had good water.
and 1t usually takes time for malaria
to soak in deep. Now, don't worry,
Miss Jenny It'll d. him no good, and
you a lot of harm. Take things easy
as you can, for you We got to keep up
your strength. If you don't, you'll be

In the morning Miss Leslie found
that Blake had built substantial
canopy over the invalid, in place OF
the first ramshackle structure.
"It's best for him to be out In the
air" he explained; 80 l fixed this UP
to keep off the dew. But whenever 1t

ing Areuses Unionists.
According to u rumor from Cincin-
natl. the boys taking courses in the in
dustrial departments of the high
schools Of that city are to be placed
in shops and receive a certain stipend
for their services. The rumor has It
that the boys are to be taken into
shops in their second year and shown
how to do different sorts of work.
After watching others they are to at
tempt it themselves, receiving 10 cents
an hour. In the third year they are
to receive II cents and in their fourth
year 121. cents an hour.
They are to work in pairs, one at
tending school while the other is in a
shop. and they are each to receive
$o52.75 for the three years work. The
plan is said to have been carefully
worked out in the University of Gin
cinnati. and it has aroused trades
unionists because it means. If carried
out generally. that schoolboys will

in position to enforce their demands
that Stoy take the leadership in clos
ing down the resort.
Failure OF legal experts to find any
technical flaw in the proposition Of
the angry crusaders to force the ar
rest of the high official has left the
question at the point where Stoy must
enforce the law or suffer the odium Of
arrest, and unless some better plan ia
found the saloons will be notified to
close at midnight on Saturday.
Aside from his political affiliations,
Mayor Stoy has always been an hon
ored citizen of Atlantic City. and his
family connections In Camden county
are OF a class that would resent his
being made the victim OF the crusade
which has wrought Atlantic City to
fever heat during the past few weeks.
Saloon men who have enjoyed privi-
leges not accorded anywhere else in
the country are said to be willing to
submit to the closing order rather than
force the mayor to become the victim
Of the reform agitation.
Even close supporters OF Mayor STOW
are admitting his mistake in refusing
service of the papers from Attorney
General Wilson ordering him to force
obedience to the law The open let
ter from the attorney general in which
he refuses to further treat with the re-
sort government has aroused friends
Of the mayor to the danger Of his po-
sition.

Items Gathered in
From Far ana Near
Down With the Bilboards!

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
1t is evident that the billboard nut.
sance will have to be attacked serious
ly in every community, as it is grow
ing. not only in the number of the
boards, but also in their dimensions.
The boards represent business enter
prise, and there will be a struggle to
save them as against the claims of
property owners who feel aggrieved
because of injury to values caused by
the glazing advertisements. If pub
lie sentiment could be cultivated in op-
position to the use of this form of adj
vertising the cure would be rapid. The
value of advertising cards thus often
sively blazoned is largely overestimat-
ed, and If this could be made clear
there would be an abandonment of the
boards in favor of newspaper adver-
Using, which is far superior and at
tractive rather than offensive to the
public, which reads newspaper adver-
Using. while it merely glances at the
billboards and wonders whether such
prominence pays.

If the "Lid' Tilted Sunday

Atlantic City. Sept avery sa-
loon in Atlantic City may be closed on
Sunday as result of the avowed in
tention of reformers to force the ar
rest of Mayor Stoy IL he refuses to fol-
low the dictates of the order from At
torney-General Wilson demanding that
he force compliance with the bishop
law"
Under the terms of the state law
failure to comply with the order places
Mayor Stoy in a position where he can
be arrested and held under bail for
the grand jury on a charge of misde-
meanor. Decision in the matter Will
probably be reached tomorrow at the
end OF series of conferences between
the mayor and political leaders which
has been in progress all day today.
The limit of the ten days notice
served on Mayor Stoy by the attorney
general to force compliance with the
law has expired, but no attempt will
be made to force his arrest until afte-
Sunday. when the reformers will have
men on duty to prove whether or not
the law has been enforced.
Meetings were held behind closed

Topic.-Life lessons for me from the
book OF Romans.-Rom XIII In. (Consc-
Grafton meeting)
The epistle of Paul to the Romans
is the superior of anything to be found
In epistolary literature Paul was a
master in letter writing, and his let
tiers written to some Of the churches
which he had organized and some of
which he had visited afterward form
most important part In New Tesla
ment writings Paul was to Christ
what Plato was to Socrates. The Cos
pei writer's assume the attitude toward
Christ that Xenophon did to Socrates.
Xenophon was the historian of Soc
rates. The evangelists in the gospel
tell the history of Christ. But Plato
and Paul occupy the higher positions.
Plato was the interpreter Of Socrates
philosophy; Paul was the interpreter
Of the doctrines Of Christ. Interpret
ers occupy much higher ground
than mere historians. SO that Paul as
the interpreter of Christ's doctrines
occupied the supreme attitude toward
Him. BY him the life and teachings
Of Christ were formulated into the
great doctrines which are the main
foundations of the beliefs of the vari-
GUS Christian denominations Indeed,
Paul and his writings have been so
thoroughly preached that some have
claimed that Christ has been over

not so. To preach Paul Is to preach
Christ. for no disciple was ever more
devoted to his Master than Paul to
Christ. He preached not himself. but
Christ and Him cruciied." His glory
was in the cross. God forbid that l
should glory save in the cross Of
Christ was his guiding star
Great as all the epistles Of Paul are.
the greatest Is the book Of Romans. in
which he sets forth so forcibly the
doctrine Of Justification by faith.
which doctrine. seized on later by
Martin Luther. reyolutionized the
formality ard deafness OF the Catholic
church and led to the reformation and
the Institution OF Protestantism. Ro-
mans had had tremendous influence
BY studying it Luther learned that
Christianity was by faith and not such
works as the since called Roman Cath
Ollie church demands The result was
the Protestant church. Luther's COM
mentary on Romans led to the CONVEX
sion Of John Wesley. who In his strug-
giles against similar conditions in the
Church of England to those in the
time of Luther In the Catholic church
founded the Methodist Episcopal
