He LEFT HER OUT
Spinsters' Island Is Bought by
Dreadful Man Who MaroenS
One Girl.
BY HAROLD CARTER.

Dear julia
Il am only able to send you a few
lines this time because the weekly
steamer is at the little dock here and
is just getting ready to return to Port
land. arrived here yesterday to join
the other girls, and what do you think?
Nobody was here but myself. So l
am actually marooned upon this tiny
island, where we had such a merry
party last year. A letter from Agatha
has just followed me here and I learn
that the island has been bought by
a man, and the club will have to find
another camping ground. The creature
wrote to all the rest of the club individ-
ually but left me out. Apparently I
am too insignificant a member. to be
noticed. The man is Richard Barrett,
about whom I wrote you last year.
He was very rude to me when I told
him that our club did not allow men
on the island, and he has apparently
taken his revenge by buying it over
our heads, However, l am alone and
anticipate a happy weeks sketching.

Dear julia
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Barrett
came back with a justice of the peace
who inquired whether l wanted to
take out warrant l said |. did, and
the justice said he would take Mr..
Barrett back as a prisoner in his own
motor boat, but that | would have to
stay here because the boat was priv
ate property. Then they both went
away, and although Mr. Clay-the JUS
tice-looked so stern, l believe he is a
friend of Mr.. Barrett l ate the sup
plies. "Affectionately,
"Millicent.
p. S. l suppose l had better tell
you what happened last night. l re-
solved to appeal to Mr.. Barrett's bet
ter instincts and went to his cabin.
He was sitting outside, looking deep
ly detected. When he saw me he fell
on his knees again and caught hold of
my hands and begged me to forgive
him. He said he was crafty in love
with me and wasn't responsible. Then
he asked me if there would ever be
any hope for him. l told him that
our club was vowed to celibacy, but
that l would withdraw the warrant,
and he answered that Mr.. Clay would
be back from the mainland in an hour
or two, ready to take him back a pris-
Cner, and he was glad l was forgiving.
Then we both heard Mr.. Clay's boat
come chugging across the water, and
when it landed l saw that there was
woman in it. Mr.. Clay came up to
us and said that he had brought back
his wife to see the island. Julia, who
do you suppose she is? Agatha! 1t
seems that they were in love with
each other all last summer, and she
kept it from us because she was afraid
Of being expelled from the club. And
she told me that l had hopelessly
compromised myself by staying on the
island with Mr.. Barrett and that the
only way out of the dilemma would
would be to marry, him. Isn't it dread
full? Lovingly

"My dear .JuIia.,

my dear Julia
Il don't know if you will ever get
this letter, for the most terrible thing
has occurred. Richard Barrett came
back yesterday and told me that the
boat was not going to run any more
this season, now that the island is
private property. He offered to sup
ply me with provisions as long as
wanted to stay. I told him that I
would leave at once if he would kindly
place his motor beat at my disposal.
Then he said that he would not unless
%, Julia, l hesitate to tell you what
he said, but l must set it down to re-
lieve myself. He said that his fee
would be a kiss and that he loved me
and had always loved me, and that
was why he had let me come to the
island alone after warning away
Agatha and all the other members of
the Spinsters club. 1 boxed his ears.
But the situation is very serious.
What shall l do? I fear that l shall
have to yield to his horrible suggcs-

Light bread should be allowed to bake from

"FAGGED-OUT" WOMEN
Will Find a Helpful Suggestion
In This Letter.

Overworked, rundown, tagged
OUT women who feel as though they
could hardly drag about, should proht
by Miss Richter's experience. She
says: Last winter l was completely
run down and felt tagged out all the
time, was nervous and had indiges-
ton. eeA4se
zone of my friends advised me to
take Vinol, and it has done me great
good. The tired, WORKOUT feeling Is
all gone, and l am strong, vigorous
and we'll. The stomach trouble soon
disappeared and now eat heartily
and have perfect digestion. l wish
every tired, weak, nervous woman
could have Vinol, for I never spent
any money in my life that did me SO
much good as that I spent for Vinol."
Marie Richter, Detroit, Mich.
Thousands of women and men
who were formerly weak and sickly
owe their present rugged health to
the wonderful strengthening effects
Of Vinol. We guarantee Vinol to build
you up and make you strong. If
it does not, we give back your money.

Toxic. Japan. Dec. 2O.-An entire ma
tive tribe devoted TO brigandage has
just been broken up and scattered by
the japanese police. With their elimin-
alton. something has been learned OF
how these robbers operated.
The tribe has been compared to the
automobile bandits Of France. in that
they hung together for self protection
and resisted the authorities with the
same logged determination. This rob-
Der clan. numbering about 5000. had its
refuge in the mountains Of Hakone. It
had existed since the old days Of feud-
alism. and Ions list Of depredations,
savage. ruthless and cruel IN character
has been laid at its door. In times Of
peace, that is when the pursuit of the
authorities was not too persistent. the
bandits would live with their wives
and children in tents down the valleys.
The men went out as umbrella mend
ers, lOcksmiths or beggars, their real
purpose being 10 recOnnoiter the field
FOR robbery Their system of operation
was always cautious, but they fought
desperately when cOrnered By well
planned rObberies and murders they
kept whole procedures terrorlzed for
months at a time. At the first indtca-
tion Of real danger, however. the tribe
disappeared into the mountains.
Several policemen who tracked the
bandits were killed and their bodies
