 Many times in my life have seen the souls of men, and women. too. put 70 1rd and bitter tests
 Once l saw motorman whose car had crushed a lovely child Around him pressed a bowling. angry mob. led by the baby's father. who would nave had his life With bold daring. ne stood on his platform as on a throne, with his controller bar for his only weapon. and deded them all. Yet, even as he stood there outvardly % bold, l saw in his eyes a misery as great as man could bear and live. For days and months l doubt not that his nightly dreams brought him con stant horror-pictures of the child he had killed
 Once, too. ] had to be the bearer af the news when VofkmaH mis- step on a frame of steel sent him plunging down eighteen stories to death. In the foul tenement where told my news l saw tired. gaunt woman walk the floor aid scream and moan. three frightened iit.le children eiinging 10 her skirts

 Yet all the concepts that my brain aad formed of the utmost Tn pain and shame and misery faded into insig. nifieahce before the things saw h that rude cottage in the Jersey hills where for two long days Davis and myself kept watch on the fettered master criminal-wsiting. waiting. waiting till his drug g-tortured nerves should make him tell us the secret Of his yellow letters.
 Shackled hand and foot though he had found himself when he came out ot his stupor. his self-control was at first wonderful For a few minutes after Davis had fastened his bonds he lay there tossing and twitching. then suddenly opened his eyes-piercing. deyilish. uncanny black eyes they were-and tried to sit up
 The rope through the manacles be hind him stopped him short and threw him back on his couch At the same time he caught sight of Davis sitting near the foot of his couch In silence they eyed each other, neither of them saying a word Stealthily Young shifted. first his hands and then his feet as fl to ascertain the extent of his bonds.

 entered the room where Young was. and. approaching his couch, laid my hand on his shoulder. he had been lying there with his eyes closed, and the mere touch of my hand so jolted his shattered nerves that his whole body bounded to the limit of his bonds. His frightened lips showed how difficult 1t was for him 10 suppress a scream.
 Look here. Young" said I. I've come To you as a friend to tell you just how the land lies. Rouser Is dead and the inspector has possession Of all his papers He knows everything about the yellow letters"
 An evil smile was Youngs only an swer-the cunning leer of the man who scents trick
 There are stacks and stacks of evidence against you We have the list of people to whom Rouser sent letters
 Damn your evidence," he sneered You may have evidence against thas fool Rouser, but you've nothing on ne. If the inspector. as you call him. had evidence enough to convict me do you suppose he'd have me tied up here He hasn't bit of evidence against me. He never will have Reach Ire that medicine.
 He jerked his head in the direction Of the morphine that lay so tantaliz- ing near There was something in his voice. some indefinabe power of peTsuasiveness that almost influenced me 10 do what he asked Involun tarily my hand went out to the bottle containing the solution, but I caught myself in time

 There passed through my mind in my struggles a vivid picture of what was about to happen. Young would silently choke me to death Silently he would hobble with his fettered feet to where Davis lay in the lean-to sound asleep and brain him with q blow. He would cast of his letters and long before the constable would re- turn to find our bodies would make his escape on Rouser's bicycle. The mystery Of the yellow letters never would be explained.

 Yeangss hands fell from my throat and 1 staggered back gasping for breath thought at first that the strain had been too much for his drug raeked body. but soon l saw what had happened His muscles had not weakened. but his will Standing over him was Davis with a revolver pointed at his head Even before I had recovered myself Davis had the letters readiusted and the rope passed through them.
 Our lives were saved The mystery might yet be solved. despite my fool hardness turned to the inspector to express my gratitude. but dropping the key Of the shackles on the Chair where 1t had been before. he flung himself down on the floor to resume his interrupted sleep. As soon as my aching throat would permit me to speak l began making abject apologies for my foolhardy con duet and trying to express my thanks, but he would not listen to me.
 'I guess you'll guard him safely enough now" be said. and once more was fast asleep.
 With something of the feeling Of a chastised school-boy who knows he deserved far more than he got. sat down beside the couch and for four long hours watched the struggles and heard the curses and listened to the entreaties of the drug-mad prisoner.
 But now had no sympathy left for him.

Need Hogs Built for Speed

We had little npleasantness at our Stafford county fair Over the awards made in the hog depart ment," said Representative Chas Carlin of Alexandria, Va
 "A man named Jeffries came oy- CT from Maryland with some fancy pedigreed pigs with which he had been winning prizes at big fairs. but he didn't get pleasant look from the judges at our fair
 Naturally Jeffries didn't feel very pleasant when he saw blue and red ribbons tied on slab-sided, long nooted hogs, while his pigs were ig nored. He hunted up the judges and asked them for an explanation
 It's like this. Mr Jeffries.' said the spokesman You have some very fine stock good as ever saw-but al this fair We must take local conditions into consideration. In this county We could not breed your kind of hogs at a profit.

SAM. DRUXIMAN
ESCAPES JAIL
Police Judge Cannot Enforce
Suspended Sentence, Says
Superior Court

Sam Druximan. better known
among the sporting cronies of Aber-
deem as "Druxie Kid" is once again
granted the privilege of pursuing
LIES even tenor with the knowledge
that the superior court has nothing
on him." at least for the present.
1t all came about Monday after
noon when Judge Ben Sheeks ruled
that Police Judge F. X. Drake had
no authority to enforce a suspended
sentence in the case of Druximan who
was convicted before Police Judge
Phillips several months ago on the
charge Of petit larceny
The case against Druximan is of
a most peculiar nature. About IS
months ago he was arraigned in po-
lice court and found guilty of the
petit larceny charge. Sentence how
ever was suspended. Only a short
time ago he was arrested on the
charge of fighting with Roscoe Jen-
sen. Judge Drake then made an ef-
fort to enforce the suspended sent
ence. but Attorney F. w. Loomis, his
attorney appealed to the superior
court asking for writ of prohibition.
This Is the first instance, it is said
where writ Of prohibition has been
asked for and granted.

LOCCERS ARE
CLOSING DOWN
Camps Shutting Down for
Holiday Vacation This
Week

Beginning tomorrow night loggers
from every camp adjacent to Aber.
deem will begin flocking into the city.
Their vacation it is said will last un.
til the first of the year.
Already many of the loggers have
drawn their pay checks and num-
Der Of them have left for Seattle and
Tacoma where they will spend the
holidays. The meeting Sunday at the
city hall when representatives of the
many camps will present their views
in reference to the proposed loggers
home, however, will keep many of
them in the city at least until Mon
day.
Tomorrow will be a heavy day at
the banks of both Aberdeen and Ho.
GUAM. It is estimated that the pay
roll will be much heavier than last
year. Many of the men who have
worked steadily for several months
will come to the city, cash their
checks and spend at least the greater
part Of their money here.
When the camps resume operations
in January, it is expected that there
will be no interruption until July 4,
as the logging camps will be kept
busy supplying the local mills during
the greater part of the year at least.

Commission Government.

Living Church: Two years ago Kan
sas City, Kan, was struggling under
a big debt. The banks were carrying
the city's script at high rate of in
terest. Since that time the city, un,
der commission government, has add.
ed to its assets new city hall, a
municipal electric plant ana several
parks. The tax rate will be 81 cents,
as against 91.O5 cents for the current
year. The Inauguration of a budget
system now prevents over-expendi-
lures in the departments.
Among the achievements of Is
months Of the commission govern
ment in Birmingham, Ala, is a reduc-
ton in the cost Of paving from $3.50
per yard to $40. Free textbooks
have been furnished in three grades
of the public schools. The fire de-
partment has been motorized. A new
garbage crematory has been erected.
Cheaper electric service has also been
exacted from the local public service
corporation.

HOLIDAY TAKEN
Owing to Rush Of Orders
Mills Will Only Close
Christmas Day

With every mill working to its ca
pacity and with heavy orders coming
In daily, lumbermen on Grays Harbor
with the possible exception of one
or two operators, find it necessary to
Keep the big plants running through
the holiday season. This condition is
something unusual, as it is custo-
mary for the mills to close down at
least one week before Christmas and
New Years.
The American mill will close next
Tuesday night for two weeks. dur
ing which time necessary repairs will
be made. A new carriage will be in
stalled as will also a new air lift
for the trimmer.
During the past two weeks orders
have been coming in thick and fast,
and in order to fill them on time, it
will be necessary for the mills to
work every available minute. All mills
will close down on Christmas eve, and
the bread winners will be allowed one
day for festive enjoyment. The fol-
lowing morning, however, they are
expected to be on the job and ready
to go to work.
During the past month conditions
have improved far above the expec-
tation of the millmen, while the ex-
port business has not been heavy as
was anticipated, the coastwise trade
has been good. Prices have advanced
and the general tone of the market
is better.
