Tacoma.-The communistic or an
archistic colony at Joe's bay, after &
life Of 20 years, is a thing of the
past. The entire 217 acres, compris.
ing the farm and settlement site oi
the colony has been plated and will
be placed on the market and sold.
The colony had its beginning near
Eatonville, in the southern part of
Pierce county, where a number of
socialists acquired land and, ANAL
gamating their holdings, "had all
things in common" After a trial
of five or six years the colony remov-
ed to Joe's bay, and attempts were
there made to build up a typical COM
munistic Industrial community. Hands
were held out to any person who
wished to unite with them who ap-
peared to be sincere. A sawmill was
started and various kinds Of manu-
featuring undertaken.
The colony appeared to be unable
to pass a certain milestone of pro-
gress, and the same was true in the
matter of expansion Of membership
and property owned. This was due
in part to q constantly changing
membership. There was nothing to
hold any one after he grew tired of
life at the colony fundamental
principle believed in being the in
volatility of individual choice. This
constant changing kept the mass of
the colonists forever in the kinder
garten of communistic development.
Leaders Arrested for Fiery Talk.
At the time Of the assassination of
President Mckinley the wave of in
dignation against anarchists, COM
munists and socialists resulted in the
head men of the colony being arrested
and brought before the federal courts
here for incendiary speeches an for
writings in newspapers published at
Joe's bay. But they were released,
public opinion finally veering in their
favor when it was known that the
actions were principally instigated by
prejudice.
The principles believed in by the
colonists were multiform Many ad-
vocated and practiced the doctrine of
nonresistance. Others believed in
the "strong arm and the knockout"
Free love was practiced by many, ac-
cording TO reports. and during a
number Of years the colony's exist
ence the marriage tie was disregard
ed. Many men and women lived to-
gether by mutual consent and sep
arated when one or both tired of the
other. In conscience-stricken
spasm a boatload of these one day
came here and were married.
In the matter of religion there was
a confusion Of tongues" many being
out and out infidels and others ad-
a Deity, but there was a gen.
eral disbelief in the divinity of
Christ and the vicarlous atonement.
Colony Financial Failure.
Financially the colony was a fail |
ure. With the rest of the northwest |
growing with great strides, it stood !
still. Wave-like impulses of activity |
would sweep over the colony, during
which land would be cleared and in
iustral achievement undertaken. But
)ut of these the colony would drift
nto the "doldrums" of inaction.
Many very bright men have belonged
o the settlement.

Lucille turned to the writing
table. The book that lay open up
on it was a volume of Tennyson's
poemsi There was a sheet of paper
half written upon, but she would not
be tempted, and drew her eyes away.
At that moment, Susie, whose man.
ners were not so fine, came up, and
with her inger-tips turned over the
papers and magazines.

Lucille looked around, and saw
that these treasures which Harry
Herne was boarding were the fern
leaf which she had held as a fan and
the old glove which she had worn.
Come away, SUSIE she said BE
Quick!" and she stamped her little
foot.
Susie closed the door and followed
her, then she stopped suddenly and
held up the flowers.
'Oh, Miss, I've brought the flowers
away with me, I'll run back and put
them on the tablet"

CHAPTER VIII.

Harry Herne had left the cottage
only a few minutes before Lucille
and Susie's visit. Beyond being
bruised and shaken, he had not re-
eeived any injuries in stopping the
ponies; but if he had had every bone
in his body broken; the mental agony
he endured would have obliterated all
mere physical pain.
For hours he sat staring at the
wall, his hands clasped, his whole
frame writhing as the tempest of
strong mans passion ragged within
his heart.
BLOW for blowi Go to him and
whip the life out of himl'' shrieked
the angry spirit within him; but he
would not listen to it, and at last he
conquered it into silence. For her
sake, he would bear even this, the
greatest indignity man could put
upon man, in patience.
With a sigh that was not one of
unhappiness, he took the glove and
fern from his bosom and gazed at
them.
Il ought to throw them away" he
murmured. They do not belong to
me; they are hers. What right have
/ to keep them. and gloat over them?
And yet keep them | must. I'll keep
them for this purpose; whenever I
look at them they will remind me of
the difference between us, the gulf
that stretches between us-wide as
the ocean, deep as perdition. Yes,
and they shall remind me of more
than that! That in her service
can take even blow in patience"
! He sat for some time, going over
the scene again and again, then he
took stout stick and limped into
the woods.

a sad smile. "One can forget man.
insults here-here alone with ma
ture," and he opened his mouth and
drew a long breath, as if a burden
had fallen from his shoulders.
Harry Herne limped through the
woods, lost in thought and apparently
seeing nothing, but all the same his
keen eyes were on the alert and
watchful as usual and they caught
sight of spot of crimson cleaning
through the underground.
Harry Herne did not stop to turn
his head, but limped on for a few
yards as if he had seen nothing, then

curious superstition prevails ratn-
er in Rome than Tuscany. The Eplpn-
any is regarded as a hideous WlccG~
called Befana, who has to be driven
away by shouts and the din OF toy
t11lmpets. The belief in witchcraft
is very common, though people are
often shy to speak about 1t. IN
northern Italy it generally takes the
form of white magic, or the healing
OF diseases by spells, though now
and then there are cases in which
old women are supposed to work
mischief by the help of demons, and
to aid their entertainments with pol
sons.
Mr.. Leland, who is better known
as Hans Breitmann. wrote a curl
Gus book to show that the ancient
Etruscan religion survives under the
form of witchcraft, the old delties
having become demons who have to-
be warded off or propitiated by spells
For instance, the wine-god Phuphluns
has become an evil spirit who mil
dews the vines. He gives a number
of magic spells and also some charms,
lin which the blessed sacrament,
stolen from the altar, is mingled
with various sorts of filth and sub
jected to profane treatment in order
to remove or to procure an illness.
Of this I have no personal expert
ence, and Mr.. Leland is not regard
ed as very cautious witness. The
few details which are given by Mrs.
Waterhouse may be taken without
reservation: and a good deal of in
teresting matter about the survival
of paganism in modern Italy may be
found, rather unpleasantly stated, in
Maurice Hewletts "Earthworks Out

perience of the use of spells is one

aid for servant, but in vain, was
begged by her most respectable and
pious old butler to let the girl SEND

known whether this course was
taken or not. In either case the
poor girl died.
I do not know whether the sur
vival of paganism is greater in Italy
than in England Possibly even IN
the clear air of America such things
manage to exist. But it is fair to
observe that Italy has been Christian
several centuries longer than Eng
land, and that at time when our
fathers were still half savages, Ttal-
ians were already enjoying the clos
est proximity to the holy see.
