Allowed to Write.
There was no answer to this re-
mark. Three of the men had lighted
pipes. The fourth. who seemed to be
somewhat younger than the Others
had been relieved of guard duty and
was now eating his supper. When
he had finished he drew a bag of to-
bacco and some tissue paper from a
pocket and rolled a cigarette. There
was silence for a long time and then
Gordon began again.

brush growing high all around It.
Walking straight ahead, the bearded
man parted the underbrush and with
Gordon following close, they passed
through 1t and arrived at a log cabin,
evidently of recent construction.
BY this time it was almost dark.
One of the men stepped inside the
cabin and lighted two or three tallow
candles, after which he set about pre-
pairing the evening meal. When the
candles were glowing, the bearded man
motioned Gordon TO enter, which he
did, the others following. Gordon
glanced around. There were five
rough banks, with a straw on them
for bedding. There was no stove, but
there was a fireplace in a corner, with
a small chimney leading up from it.
built of sticks of wood plastered with
clay The only article of furniture
in the room was a rude bench. The
bearded man then spoke the first
words he had uttered since the march
began. He said to Gordon:
Eyer won't be hurried none unless
yer try to escape. Then we'll shoot"
He united the rope that bound Cor
dons arms, one of the other men
standing by with a revolver in his
hand, and added: Maybe yer better
git in one of them hunks till grub
is ready,
Thoughts Busy.
Gordon rubbed the circulation back
in his arms and then lay down. He
had long since made up his mind to
treat the situation od-naturedly,
feeling that more could be accom-
plished that way than being nasty
about it. He resolved to trust to
cheerfulness and diplomacy in his in
teFcourss with these men, He had
not yet been able to figure out what
their object was in making him cap
tive. Perhaps they would demand a
ransom for his release. He could not
satisfy himself how they knew his
name, either The thought flashed
across him that Galen Deery had
something to do with the matter. Per-
haps the Atlanta capitalist had learn
ed of his companionship with Mildred
1t was possible that Sheppard, his
superintendent, had informed him. He
recalled what Mildred had told him
about her fathers vast project and he
tried to connect 1t with his present
prediCament.
While his thoughts were busy, the
fire under the pots and pans was
busy, too. Three of his captors be
gan eating at once, while the fourth
stood guard over Gordon with a six
shooter in his hand. Evidently they
had planned the whole thing out IN
advance, as they had not spoken to
each other since entering the cabin.
After eating a hearty meal of ba-
con, corn cakes, stewed beans and
crackers, Gordon stretched himself,
smiled and announced that he felt
better He thought the other men
probably felt in better humor, too,
so he tried to start a little CONVEX
sation,

Do You Know
That

A factory in Grenoble. France, util-
ICES the water of a reservoir situated
in the mountains at height Of 200
yards. The water reaches the fac
tory through a vertical tube Of the
same length, with a diameter of con-
stderably less than an inch, the jet
being used to move a turbine. Elk
periments have shown that the
strongest men can not cut the Jet
with the best tempered sword, and
in some instances the blade has been
broken into fragments without de-
tiecting a drop of the water and with
as much violence as a pane of glass
may be shattered by a blow from an
iron bar. 1t has been calculated that
a jet of water a small fraction of an
inch in thickness moving with suffi-
Gent velocity, could not be cut by a
rife bullet.

No Secret About WOman's Beauty

The flashing eye, the elastic step
and the brilliant complexion are
never companions of organic trou-
bles; but it is the distressed ex-
preston, aches and pains, faint
ness, dizziness, that bearing down
feeling, and the blues that are the
tell-tale symptoms. If such wom-
en- would only remember that Ly-
dia z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound overcomes such distressing
symptoms, womanly beauty would
be no longer a secret.

When Mildred received these lines
(which she did the following morn
ing) she must have thought it a
queer letter to get from the man she
was so worried about. It was not
a love letter. nor did It seem to say
much of anything in any definite de-
gree. Yet Gordon had deliberately
written 1t that way, trusting to the
girls ingenuity to decipher the hid
den meaning. AS a matter Of fact,
the meaning was so little hidden that
Gordon. as he wrote It, had doubts
as to whether it would pass muster.
The Message Sent.
Gordon folded the sheet of paper
twice, addressed it on the back to
Miss Mildred Deery and handed it to
the black-bearded man, who read It
slowly; so slowly, in fact, that Cor
don feared he had discovered the
simple cryptogram. But at last the
mountaineer nodded and placed the
letter in his pocket, whereat Gordon
breathed with relief. Later in the
evening the letter was given to the
youngest of the four who, after re-
ceiving instructions from the beard
ed man, given in too low tone for
Gordon to distinguish the words, sad
died a horse that was tethered near
by. mounted him and rode off in the
darkness.
From the moment the rope that
bound Gordon's arms had been re-
moved, one Of the four men had re-
manned within ten feet of the cap
tive, with a revolver in his hand
Every action of the mountaineers
indicated that they meant business
and Gordon had long since made up
his mind that he would not attempt
to escape that night. At intervals he
endeavored to draw his Captors into
conversation, but without success
They were not sullen, or gloomy, or
sulky; they simply refused to talk so
at last Gordon requested that he
might be allowed to retire for the
night.

There is an old tradition at Tours
to which brides adhere strictly, ac-
cOrding to Comte Austin de Croze,
who delivered a lecture on French
folklore in London recently. When

it does not pass beyond the second
Joint. Otherwise she would never
hope to be absolute sovereign in her

lingo politicians" says a New York
newspaper.
The Japanese are no wiser than the
people of any other country. If their
country were plunged into war by
lingo politicians it would not be the
first country that has had this ex-
perience. And as for the yellow
press" it's influence is rendered all
the greater by the fact that in Orien-
tai countries the masses are still I'M
der the tradition of great reverence
for the written word,
Would Japan take so rash a step as
to go to war, or even to develop a
strong anti-Americanism, simply be-
cause those of her people who have
come to this country are discriminat-
ed against? This question has been
asked and has been assumed to def
initely dispose of the whole matter.
But that is not the question at ALL
This California land episode acquires
importance merely as one phase of
what Is construed consistent policy
on this side of the Pacific to discrim-
| mate against and to humiliate the
Japanese people. And here we have
one OF those questions affecting ma
tional honor" that our own legislators
have always been SO insistent upon
excluding from the purview OF arbitra-
ton treaties.
To the Japanese, then, the issue is
one OF national honor. To understand
how large this looms in their eyes it
is only necessary briefly to recite the
fact that since their emergence from
their centuries of Oriental isolation
their whole struggle has been for rec
ignition on plane of equality with
other people.
Heretofore the Japanese govern
ment has been able to repress public
opinion whenever it assumed danger
GUS tendencies. 1t has been able to
form public opinion and direct it. But
the Japan of today presents a very
serious internal situation
The parliamentary riots at Toxic a
few weeks ago came exceedingly close
to revolution. Indeed, in one phase
there was revolution. When the
dominant party in the diet, the Seiyu-
kai, refused to obey the expressed
wish of his majesty the emperor that
resolutions impeaching the Katsura
ministry be withdrawn-thisw was rev.
olution. For never before in the his
tory Of the land had what was tanta-
mount to a command from the throne
been ignored.
1t is not necessary to deal with the |
issues in that ministerial crisis save
to emphasize the fact that what then
occurred showed that the time has
passed when public opinion in Japan
can be directed from the top. No bu-
reaucracy can hope to do what the
sacred word of the emperor himself

of the powerful touring cars. The
wild animals which at present feed
unconcerned by the roads as the
stages pass, will stink into the forests
in alarm at the snorting gas engines.
The fact is when the time comes for
throwing open the park for gas cars
it will be the end Of majestic gran
deur and mystery that has clothed the
park with awe for the many tourists
and made it the scenic drawing card
that 1t is today. Whenever the gov
eminent opens the parks as petitioned
it will see the passing of the pic
turesque stage coaches. For the steep
grade and abrupt curves filled with
the roar of passing cars will be too
dangerous, and the government
will have to disbar the horses or else
construct separate roads.

THE ARMAMENT SCANDAL,

The exposure of the conspiracy
among European makers of guns and
armament to stimulate war and con-
troll prices is shocking revelation of
how lust for money can debase human
beings. 1t appears that the conspira-
tors deliberately planned to stir up
international suspicion by disseminat-
ing war news and manufacturing evil
dence Of international enmity. When
their work had frightened govern
ments into large expenditures for war
supplies the men in the agreement de-
cided who should get the contracts
and controlled the awards by collusive
bidding. :. OF course, the lowest bid
was made, too high and the stolen
profits on the winning contract were
divided among those in the agreement.
1t is easy to understand the conster-
nation which was caused in Germany
by the charge that the Krupps joined
in this diabolical business. To Ger
many the Krupp iron works were a
model of everything a great business
establishment should be. The found
er of the business was friend of the
emperor. The Krupps were praised
on every hand. They were believed to
be patriots of the noblest mold. Their
products and their probity were con-
sidered important elements in the ma
tional defense.
Germany's eyes are opened now.
Her people see how they have been
betrayed, duped and swindled by Graf
ty men who played upon their pride
and fear. The affair is regrettable,
but if it should lead to a juster esti-
mate of the real intentions of Europ-
can people toward each other and Of
the unimportance of most of the lingo
news which fills the European press

taken up in earnest by the users of
gas cars all over the west, and there

ever, much of the zest and interest of
the trip through the park will have
