two rife shots. And that was all. He had never seen the white men again.
 ''There is only one thing to do." Shel- don said to Joan. "I'll start the first thing in the morning"
 ''WeIl start" she corrected. "I can get twice as much out of my Tahitians as you cnn, and. besides, one white should never be alone under such cir epmstances."
 told him to bring ten of the biggest, best and strongest Poonga-Poo men.
 'Not salt water boys." Sheldon eau toned. "but bush boys--leg belong him strong fella leg. Boy no savvee mus ket. no gAod. You bring m shoot musket strong fella."
 They were tenspicked men that. filed up on the veranda and stood in the glare of the lanterns. Their heavy. muscular legs advertised that they were bushmen. Killing was their nat ural vocation, not weed cutting; and, while they would not have ventured the Guadalcanar bush alone, with a white man like Sheldon behind them, and white Mary such as they knew Joan to be. they could expect a safe and delightful time. Besides, the great master had told them that the eight gigantic Tahitians were going along.
 Plenty strong fella fight" Sheldon warned them in conclusion
 They grinned and shifted delighted ly.
 "S'pose bushmen kai-kai along your he queried.
 'No fear" answered their spokes- man, one Koogoo. strapping, thick Tipped Ethiopian looking man. "S'pose Poonga-P Poonga boy kai-kai bush boy ?
 Sheldon shook his head. laughing, and dismissed them and went to over haul the dunnage room for small shelter tent for loans use.
 It was quite a formidable expedi- ton that departed from Berande at break. of day next morning in fleet of canoes and dingeys. There were Joan and Sheldon, with Binu Charley and Lalaperu, the eight Tahitians and the ten Poonga.Poonga men. each proud in the possession of bright and shining modern rife.
 Binu Charley led the way onward into the rolling foothills. following the trail made by Tudor and his men weeks before. That night they camp ed we'll into the hills and deep in the tropic jungle. The third day found them on the runways of the bushmen narrow paths that compelled single file and that turned and twisted with endless convolutions through the dense undergrowth.
 Here. in the midmorning, the first casualty occurred. Binu Charley had dropped behind for time and Koogoo. the Poonga- -Poonga man who had boasted that he would eat the bush men. was in the lead. Joan and Shel- don heard the twanging thrum and saw Koogoo throw out his arms. at the same time dropping his rife, stum- ble forward and sink down on his hands and knees. Between his naked shoulders, low down and to the left, appeared the bone barbed head of an arrow. He had been shot through and thi,ugh. Cooked rifles swept the bush with nervous apprehension, but there was no rustic. no movement; nothing but the humid, oppressive silence.

THE LESSON OF THE
 RICH JOY RIDERS AND
 ,MOTORMAN PETERSON.

A party Of joy riders, return ing home after drinking bout, came into collision with a trolley car. A woman was killed. A girl in her teens was injured for life.
 The automobile was driven by Yale students. They had been drinking, with the women, for hours. They were intoxicated at the moment of collision.
 The trolley car was driven by MOtOrnian Peterson. He was sOb- CT, an honest workingman. engaged in honest labor for his daily bread.
 An inquest was held before Coroner Wilson. 1t was a secret inquest. The students had veal thy parents. They were influent- iaE. They were exonerated.
 MOtOrman Peterson was charged with responsibility for the mishap He was lodged in jail, and for a long time could not get bail. Some months have elapsed since MOtOrman Peterson became the scapegOat for the drunken, but fn- fuential, joy riders.
 He has been discharged upon the opinion of States Attorney Stiles Judson, that the evidence does not show that he is guilty.
 Coroner Wilson says that he no longer believes in secrecy in the conduct of public offices. Is he entitled to belief, especially since he is pledged to carry out policies approved by the Warner, King and Lavery combination?
 If any electOr thinks of voting for Coroner Wilson, let him think of the narrow escape of Motorman. Peterson. Let him ask what Coroner Wilson will probably do as mayor, when great wealth and privilege stand upon one side of a public question, and the plain people upon the other.

Advantages to Navigation.

The very great advantage of this
great dam to the navigation interests
are indicated by giving the annual adj
dress of President Thomas Wilkinson,
Of the Upper Mississippi River I'M
provement Association, delivered at
the Alton meeting last October and
published in The Gate City at that
time.
The bulletins go all over the world,
hundreds being sent to England and
other hundreds to other parts of
Europe. Locally, they are sent to
members of the Kookuk Industrial as
ISOLATION and others in direct contact
with the Water Power company. but
the demand is always greater than
the company can supply and they can
not be distributed unfortunately.
1t takes several days to address
and mail the many thousands sent out
of the company Offices, but 1t is in
tended that everybody on the mailing
list shall be supplied within a week.
