came the sound of bare running fee
and the near painting of breathless men
Several forms shot past them IN tn

on through the darkness they plung

a deep, welllike opening. Away above
them was dark blue sky, thick with
golden stars
"There must be some way out OF
this" cried Philip softly, and he ran
around the circular walls with cropping
fingers.
Here is something-a rope ladder"
he cried triumphantly.
In a few seconds they were both

They plunged into a thiclzet and
emerged in well worn path which led
down to the waters edge In the star

a good sized sampan floating at little

into the current which swept strongly
around a curve OF shore and then was
borne through a narrow passage be-

Suddenly they foated out on the
broad bosom of the Yangtze, and with

In half an hour they had fallen in
with n government patrol boat and,
with little ceremony, enlisted her off,

They had barely launched them

BOOUET FOR THE JOURNAL

The editor ofThe Newark Jour- nal is an optimist. He carries this motto at the head of his paper: "The men who are today lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticise." If we were a preacher we would take that for a text and preach sermon on 1t. It is true philosophy. The world is getting better all the time. The man who breaches pessimism all the time is an enemy to society. He sees more bad than good. Our deliberate opinion is that most men who are always cussing something or some body are men whose systems are overcharged with bile. If we ever get to where we look at life from the standpoint of the pressimist and decide that the whole world is going to the devil, right that min- ute we are going to drop everything and go to the doctor for a liver medicine. We commend The New ark Journal for the sentiment quoted above.- Williford News.
