It was so ordered that they came,
toward shutdown of certain day, to
the foot of hill crowned with great
pagoda of many multiplied roofs firing:

tinkled ceaselessly in the evening
airs
Here they dismounted and together
made the ascent Of an age-old wooden
stairway, broad and easy, and throng-

weary pilgrims, beggars, lepers, laugh

having received permission, with meet

1t was very dark inside and for 9

but at length they came to massive

here they paused, hand in hand, look

the wide, shadowy reaches of the riv'
er. But the mystical distances con-
fused and eluded him. The launch
seemed to move, painting. in an abyss
of night. She made little noise: a
hiss of water beneath her stem; the
steady humming of the motor, throt'
tied down to half speed; the muff1ed
gasping of the exhaust. And present
ly even these ceased at a word from
Couch, and the launch moved only
with the tide.
Abruptly a towering wall of Opaque
black rose out of the darkness to
starboard. O'Rourke braced himself
for the imminent instant of action,
poised so lightly upon his toes and
:fingertips that a swell from a moving
vessel would have thrown him on
his balance, perhaps overheard. The
launch closed swiftly and silently in
upon the black wall; it lowered over
him like cliff; far above he could
see dim divisions between black and
black that must be the rail. And he
shook his head, dismayed; he could
never scale that, he thought; not even
the O'Rourke could accomplish mir
acle. But in breath it had faded
back, and he realized that the tower
ing poop of the junk had misled him.
They were now alongside at the waist.
He stood up and saw a low railing
moving and caught it over the edge OF
the rail. drew the launch in, let 60 the
boathook and, with the headwarp
wrapped about his hand, jumped
bhndly.
Something dealt him a vicious, all
but paralysing, blow in the pit of tho
stomach; he doubled up, for a mo-
ment helpless, across the junk's rail,
but retained sufficient presence OF
mind to hold on to the headwarp.
Then, recovering trife, he .squirmed
over and fell sprawling upon the deck,
his heels drumming an abrupt and
violent alarm. From somewhere he
heard shrill jabbering arise, with an
ensuing patter Of bare feet. Swiftly
he got upon his knees and drew in the
headwarp, with his free hand search
ing along the rail for cleat. Some
thing thumped heavily on the deck be-
side him, and grunted; and something
else followed with second bump;
and the launch swung outward and,
caught by the current, jerked the
headwarp from his grasp. MAY the
luck of the O'Rourke still hold" he
prayed fervently, getting upon his feet
to realize that, with Couch and the
man Wheeler, he was imprisoned
aboard the junk, doomed there to re-
main whatever might befall, until
the coming OF the second launch {.
or perhaps for longer time.
As he rose some indistinct body ran
into him and cannoned off with an I'M
couth yelp; with no time to draw his
revolvers, the adventurer struck out
with a bare hand and had the salts

day campaign in behalf of local citi-
zens who were interested in securing

n basement will be equipped with a
reading room. billiard room, bowling
alleys, swimming pool and baths.
The budget includes the three years
salary Of the general secretary. THE
armory will be used at times as a
gymnasium. The high school, James
town college and. the Y. M. C. A., will
also unite in calling a first class ply
steal director who will direct the ply
steal work. Arrangements have also
been made whereby members of the
local military company are to have
memberships in the association at half
rates. Secretary Wallace was delight
ed with the outlook and felt that the
proposition would go through.
1t is also understood that the mayor
and members of the city council
would favor granting free city water
to the association.
Jamestown will be the first Of six
cities IN North Dakota to bring to
completion plans for an association.

Music lovers are looking forward

PROPOSE S. RAISE
FOR BEGINNERS
IN SCHOOL,
Teachers Committee B,
lieves $50 Should be
Minimum Salary

The teachers committee of the
Grand Forks board of education. at IL
meeting Saturday evening. decided to
recommend to the board an advance
OF IS 2 month for teachers without
city experience who enter work in the
Grand Forks public schools. The
salary paid those teachers at the pres
ent time is $45 a month, and this
would be raised to $50 under the new
order.
That the public schools of Grand
Forks are proving to be an excellent
training school for teachers is mani
tested in the number of designations
handed in by teachers who are resign
ing their positions here to take more
lucrative positions in the schools of
larger cities next ycar.
Fifteen Grand Forks teachers have
accepted better positions and will not
return to this city in the fall. Some
OF these teachers are going to the twin
cities and cities of the middle west,
but the majority of them will so to
the northwest coast and the west coast
country.
Each ear teachers from the Grand
Forks schools go to other cities to
take splendid positions. Within the
past few years many of them have
taken fine positions in the west and
are now drawing as high salaries as
paid anywhere in the United States.
The committee on teachers has
recommended the names of ten new
teachers to fill vacancies caused by
designations. 1t is expected that ut
least six of the teachers recommends
ed will accept positions in the Grand
Forks schools.
