without a word the East Indian pro-
duced a handful of vile-looking che
roots. Crewe tossed them roughly
aside

somewhat thickly, as though slightly
under the influence of liquor. Gimme

Leaning over the counter / saw q
small package wrapped up in a dirty
cloth. which disclosed the end of a
cigar box.
Gimme those" I said pointing.
The East Indian looked at me fur
lively. He took up the box, unwrapped
the cloth-and suddenly darted
through the back door of his shop.
Instantly Crewe leaped upon him.
Hold him." he cried to me, as the
Indian twisted himself adroitly out of
Crewe's grasp. / saw his hand go
down to his side and, with fortunate
blow, knocked him sprawling. His
head came In contact with the edge of
the door and the fall stunned him.
The box fell from his clasp. Picking
it up hastily saw upon the cover the
word "Borneo."

after him down the alley. We reached
the main road painting, and, finding
that we were not pursued, set of at
rapid pace toward the station. On
the way we recovered our hats, which
we had thrown behind some boarding.
1t was five o'clock on the following
morning when we reached Fairview.

Can we see this Selim?" asked
Peter Crewe.
WELL" said Mr.. Langton, "if you
think it will do any good, we can I'M
doubtedly find him at the village ho-
tel"
At Crewe's urging we started out
for the village. 1t was a small coun-
try town of one main street, fianked
by little laborers' cottages, with, here
and there, bridesmaids residence of
! more imposing type. At the inn we
learned that Selim was out walking.
What time does the next train
come in from Godalming?" Crewe
asked.
AT 5:O7," the landlord answered.
"And departs?"
There is SIP local running clear
through to Charing Cross"
1--WE have just time to catch the
local." said Crewe, looking at his
watch. "Mr. Clayton, we leave you
here and shall see you tomorrow"
Then, disregarding the lawyers look
of surprise, he took me by the arm
and, without further explanation
urged me to accompany him. I saw
that something important must have

the instigation of Claude, telegraphed

life In America had not been so bad as
Is currently rumored in England, and
to hurry across the water with this
material to aid the defense. l may
say that Claude Bamwell has never
been convicted of felony, and only
once of a misdemeanor. I am the at

charge of intoxication."
In this manner Crewe and came to
be associated in this first of our many
enterprises.
I passed many an anxious moment
until the boat locked at Tilbury.
But all my speculations and impress
sions were killed abruptly when, at
the moment of docking, a messenger
rushed up and thrust telegram into
my hands. ! tore it open and read:

Crewe shook his head dolefully when
I showed him this missive. Although
he would not say so, could see that
he had scant hope in our ability to
save Claude Bamwells life. We took
the train for Fenchurch street and,
half an hour later, were speeding
southwark in the Godalming local. At
four that afternoon we arrived at Fair
view, small and unpretentious place,

James Green was quite n timid man, and
careful of his health
lie shuddered when he read of how ba-
cilli came by stealth
And robbed man of everything, as bur-
glars take his wealth.
He went and saw a specialist, who then
explained to him
The slyness of the germs that grab q
man with impulse grim
And feed and feast and frolc till they've
put him out of trim.
The doctor said that millions were coll
lected by the shoes
James Green discarded all the footgear
he would use.
CThe chilblain germ then hurried in: II
had no time to loscD
The doctor told him that the germs would
settle on his hair;
In less than half an hour his scalp was
shaver bleak and bare
And nothing but a bald eXpanse of
bumps was left him there.
The doctor told the number of bacill on
n beard;
Green's whiskers with alacrity from off
his face were cleared
Although this showed that both his jaws
in lanternwise were geared.
And Green had all his walls and floors
made of n CLASSY glare,
And sat him down to ponder on what sort
of stuff to wear.
When suddenly the doctor counted all
the germs I'm air!
James Green arose in wrathful mood and
cried: 81 cannot drink,
cannot dress, or eat. or smoke, or write
with pen and ink,
And next III know you'll warn me that
there's germs in what Think"
He let his whiskers grow again, he
coaXed back all his hair
He sent and got his furniture, and
bought some clothes to wear.
And stocked his pantry till he had much
food and drink to spare.
The doctor sent n bill that filed James
Green with painful squirms:
The doctor charged him right and left in
Greek and Latin terms
And took the money, which was simply
packed with awful germs!

We're too extrayagant. we
Just throw our money away, here
and there and yonder, just as a
boy might cast pebbles into the
river. The government is vast
ing money, the ultimate consumer

President Ripley of the Sante Fe
railroad.
People spend too much and
don't save enough for rainy
day." he said. Everybody thinks
this prosperity is going to last for
always, but it's not. Lean years
are coming, and then we'll all be
sorry that we didn't go little bit
easy while blowing in the week S

Whether this is little come
back at the people for applauding
Louis Brandeis when he said the
railroads were extravagantly vast
ing money, is, of course, mere
matter of speculation.
The Sante Fe president has
achieved renown in two capacities.
He is undoubtedly one of Amer
ica's biggest railroad men, and

GREAT SHIPPING STRIKE
Is IMPENDING

A great world strike is impend.
ing. 1t will9be precipitated by the
seamen and longshoremen on both
sides of the Atlantic, and probab-
ly will spread to transfers and
railway employees in European
countries.
= The exact date on which this
international contest will begin
has not been fixed, and perhaps
will not be made public until with
in a day or two before the strike
is inaugurated.
Both sides have been preparing
for the coming struggle for sew
eral years. While the marine
workers of America, Great Brit
ain, Germany, France, Holland,
Denmark and other countries
maintained a loose sort of alliance
up to six months ago, the shipown-
ers of the various nations formed
a powerful federation with gen.
eral headquarters in London. For
some time the shipowners have
been organizing bands of strike
breakers in their several countries,
and perfecting plans whereby they
can rush their tools from one port
to another whenever a strike oc-
ours.

Workers of the World
BY PETER POWER.

+ Officers of the marine workers
organizations declare that strike
breakers were sent into the great
lakes district during the past two
lyears by the European shipown-
1ers' federation to assist in defeat
Ing the seamen. The same tactics
were pursued in STRIKES in Ger
many, France and Holland re-
Gently.
The shipowners' federation is
determined to wipe out every yes
tige of organization among en-
ployes, and the latter have be-
come convinced of the fact that
their unions will be DESTROYED
piecemeal unless they strike a
powerful and combined blow and
paralyze international shipping
and force the employers into an
agreement. n
Upward of half a million men
will be involved at the outset of
the impending life and death
struggle unless the sihipowners
federation agrees to treat with
the labor organizations, which is
improbable under present cir
cumstanees.
Representatives of the Ameri-
can workers are now in Europe
assisting in formulating the plan
of campaign to be pursued in the
world strike.

More of His Intimate Writings

iagton.
WASHINGTON, D. c.,

Feb. 3, 1911.
Dear ad:-Special Privilege
members of the senate have seized
upon the reciprocity treaty as a
means to sidetrack the LorimeI
case and the resolution providing
for direct election of United States
senators. 1t is generally admitted
that there is no chance to secure
Legislation along the lines of the
proposed Canadian reciprocity
agreement, but it is believed that
public attention may be diverted
! from the Lorimer case and the
senate involved in sufficient
wrangle over reciprocity to save
Lorimer and avoid a rollcall ON
these other embarrassing matters.
1.-THE idea that subordinate
should be loyal rather to the inter-
ests of a superior than to the in
terests of the government" says
Senator Purcell of North Dakota,
sis one which has been brought
forward by Mr.. Bal1inger since he
became a member of the cabinet.
Owing to this idea the country has
lost the services of men whom It
will be difficult or impossible to-
replace. No more typical illustra-
tion of this attitude can be men,
toned than the official eondemna-
ton of Frederick M. Kerby, who
revealed the existence of a paper
which it was to the interests of
his government to produce, but tol
the interests of his superiors tol
suppress. That this paper was
the property of the people of the
United States and that it's produc- |
ton was called for by joint COM
mittee of the senate and the house
of representatives made no differ
ence to Mr.. Ballinger. 1t does
not appear to have occurred Iol
these men that their act in refus-
ing to comply with the demandsl
of the joint committee by produc-l
ing the LAWYER letter was in itself
an act Of direct disobedienoe and
characterization. Kerby realized
that he was primarily not the em-t
ploye of Secretary Ballinger but of
the government and the people of
the United States and sworn to
protect their interests. He was
faithful to his employers and TO
his oath of office, and forced the
production of the Lawler letter"
This, at a rather late day, in
the Official records of congress, |
Mr.. Kerby has his vindication.
Sincerely, RATH.

1 -
l would like through your col
umns to call the attention OF the
public and of our state legislature
now in session, to the recent deci
sions of the United States Supreme
court upon the state laws of Okla.
homa, Kansas and Neb casLa rela.
tive to the state guarantees Of bank
deposits.
The decision Of the state courts
lof Oklahoma and Kansas sustain
ed these laws while Nebraska deci-
lded against. All wero taken to
1.-THE United States Supreme court
which sustained the dec ,sions of
oklahoma and Kansas and revers-
ed the decision of the Nebraska
court. Thus the Supreme Court
of the United States mas establish
ed the constitutionality of the
state guarantee of bank deposits
other states are now taking steps
to adopt the same law. The e.
feet of the law is apparent. The
state guarantee gives confidence TO
the man, of large or small means,
In the banks, and he no longer
hides his money in vaults or other
wise, but places it on deposit in
the banks and thus sends it in
circulation.
This law, if passed by the leg
islature of the State of Washing
ton would as soon as it became
law, more than double the bank
deposits of the state. AS soon as
the adoption of this law through
out the United States becomes gen.
eral, a new impetus will be given
to business along all lines. And
the coersion now being enforced to
restrict legislation against 1.-The
Interests, by reducing the circu-
lating medium of exchange as far
as possible will come to an end.
Let every elector of the state
demand of their repre- sentative in
he Legislature the introduction and
passage of a bill to establish this
law for the state of Washington
by private personal letters and it'll
viii be done. And we will then
have ceased to cooperate with
The Interests" for our own op-
preston. ID. B. COOK.
