PRESS COMMENT.
Another Place to Watch Out Politi-
caIIy.

No railroad or other corporation
can secure the election of a man dan
gerous to the public welfare without
the use of money. Nor would they
dare use money to promote the can
didacy of a man unless they can do
it secretly. With publicity of cam
paign expenses they could not use
money secretly and therefore would
not use it. The people can in this
way effectively protect themselves
from any railroad domination in the
next legislature. So while Brother
Southwick is clubbing the railroad,
and Brother Greene is swatting the
fly we would urge the Ratchet for Sc
cret political henchmen and agents.
st. Johnsbury Ca1edonian.
The advice given by the Caledoni-
an is good and we sincerely hope it
will be followed. While in ambush
with the Ratchet however, The Ban
ner would suggest that in addition
to guarding against the use of money
schemes which are just as dangerous
but which are not paid for in cash.
Especially in the selection of county
senators the rank and file of the vo-
tiers do not look out closely enough
for their own interests In the
southern counties of the state at least
no money is used in these campaigns
but it too often happens that because
of apathy of the voters at caucus
times men are nominated who are
personally above reproach but who
are found later to be not responsive
even to the overwhelming sentiment
of the voters who elected them or
who have corporation or other con-
nections which render them insult
able for the positions in which they
are placed determination Banner.

tired and had begun to realize that
was long way from-from home

really to look for more flrewood, but
in the hope that l might happen to
find clue to where the stores are hid

seemed a long way back and I began
to hnd myself afraid. And then, be-
ing afraid. well, l thought I saw
something moving up there behind the
rocks-something big, bigger than q
man and whitish-yellow"
His eyes followed the direction in
which she had pointed. but could
make out nothing in the deep. vibrant
blue shadows.
That's likely enough" he told her.
1T was probably bear If 1t was,
we're in luck. I'll come back by and
by and go cunning for him But nrst,
I'm going to take you-home."
She had used the word before, but
in what sense he was not entirely
sure; and she had undoubtedly used
1t not more than half consciously. At
any rate, when he said 1t now she
flushed little, and 30 did he, and
their eyes. meeting, frightened sud
denly.
Silently he turned away from her
and began furling up his wings, and
she helped him. as she had helped
him that other time when he had tried
to convince her that he was not q

When It was done. they set out
slowly. in the deepening twilight, for
the hut.
ITS very good of you to walk down
here with me- she said, you who

Suddenly he was flying downward,
as fast as gravity and his great wings
would take him. Drenched with the
sweat Of sudden terror, cleaving tho
air 80 fast that the sound of its whin-
Ing rose to scream through his taut
rigging. Down he slanted. seaward

Of all his strength, upon one lowered

ledge of rock when he had first caught

getting to her feet when he alighted.
not half dozen PAGES away.
She had been pale, but her color
had come back now In a sudden surge.
She was breathing unsteadily and her
hands were clasped against her
breast. "You-you mustn't fly like
that" she said. IF you had been an
eagle, the way you wheeled and came
rushing down out Of the sky would
have terrified me. shut my eyes in
order not to see you killed"
He did not answer her at once. and
she. looking intently into his face.

Discoveries.

OloCoN6fIee.
Tho sunlight Of another crystalline
day had made a path Of gold across
the floor and half way up the wall
when Philip reused himself from what
he had intended to make the merest
cat-nap on one OF the hunks, and with
diff rubbed his eyes open. Tho
SAVIOUR Of something good to eat was
already in his nostrils.
Jeanne, with her back to him, was
bending over the IRE. busy with the
breakfast She heard him stirring.
and looked around.
"Oh. I'm sorry." she said. Il didn't
l meant you to go on sleeping for
hours and hours"
Looking fairly at him as he sat
there on the bunk she saw his hands
clutch tightly over the edge Of it:
saw the color go ebbing out Of his
face and then come surgins back
again. She had seen him do that oncs
before.
"Why-what's the matter, Philipr-
she asked
It's just the wonder of you." he
said slowly; "of waking up to find you
here. busy about this home of our
as if-as II 1t were all true. I've been
very deep asleep"
You'd better get ready for break
fast" she said, in tone whose mat
ter-of-fact infection was little e1ag-
gerated. IT'S nearly ready"
When they had finished, and while
they still sat face to face across the
board plank which had served them
for a table. Cayley leaned forward
little and. smiling. asked question.
What's the secret. Jeanne? Your
eyes have been shining with mystery
ever since we sat down here
She laughed. You're much too pen
etrating. l didn't mean you even to
dream there was mystery to pene-
trate. But-well it's time to tell you
now. any way"
She. too, leaned forward a little and
shook her head at him with a tanta-
lizing air Of triumph.
You didn't find the thing you were
looking for last night in fathers jour
nal-the place where they hid the
stores. l mean"
"Oh, but | did" he cried ~ only
waited to give you time to eat a neo-
essary and sensible breakfast before
l spoke of It l had 1t on the tip OF
my tongue to suggest that we set
about finding 1t in good earnest, when
l saw. in your eyes, that you had .
mystery Of your own"
1t was evident from the look in
those eyes now that she was both sur
prised and puzzled.
You found it last night" she eI-
claimed. Found 1t in the journal
and then never went to look at It'll"

CHAPTER XIV.
Tho Red-eound Book.

By the time they had reached the
headland. the whole beach before
them was enveloped in the sapphire
shadow of the cliff, and the little clus-
ter of huts toward which they we're
trudging was hardly distinguishable.
1t was not until they had halved tho
distance that the girl made out tho
little plume of rose-colored smoke that
doated above Philips newly construct
ed chimney.
But the next instant he laid q hand
upon her arm and. with the other,
pointed imperatively down the beach
toward tho hut Whether you saw
him before. or not" he said. with =
short grim laugh. you can SEQ him
now"
Looking where he pointed, she saw
big, yellowish-white. ungainly thing
come numbering round tho corner Of
the hut. upon all fou1.
"A bear" he said. and . good big
one. You're not to be afraid. This 10

He showed her how the work was to
be done. and in FIVE minutes she was
busily engaged at it. She had moved
to another bunk, a little further from

had contrived that the big soft sleep
ing bag should be spread out under

Meanwhile he plunged into a sys-

maps. for the thing that was to spell
either life or death for them.
At the end of an hour ne looked up
suddenly. an exclamation of triumph
on his lips. But at the sight Of her. 1t
died out In a smile. She had slipped
down on the sleeping-bag, her head
Graded in the crook of one arm. And
she was fast asleep.
