A scapegoat was a goat which,
thousands of years ago, according to
the Mosaic law, was sent into the
wilderness on the Day of Atonement,

Downing street is the heart of the
British empire. There is a king and
emperor in Buckingham Palace, lit
tie way to the west. beyond st. James
Park, and there is a parliament just
around the corner, so to speak, IN
Westminster Palace: but when the en-
pire acts as an empire the impulse
comes out OF Downing street,
Downing street is one block long
and hopeleSSly narrow-one almost
overlooks it entirely in the maze of
government buildings that crowd Par

minister In this street there are but two
of the great departments of the British
government, the foreign office and the
colonial office How much of the world S
business these two bureaus deal with Is
easily imagined. But in addition there
are two residences in Downing street
state residences maintained at the pub
lie expense for cabinet officers. In one
of these lives the prime minister. Ill
the other the chancellor of the eX-
chequer.
The men now occupying these houses.
and incidentally these offices. are Her
bert H. Asquith and David Lloyd
George. They are the men who are now
guiding Britain through the greatest
war of her history. Downing street is
still the center of the empire.

THE EVENING STORY.
A WISE MOVE.

The first home of the Paxtons was
near a mining camp, overlooking the
blue dancing waters of a small lake
where the shy deer came to drink IN the
afterglow of the sunset. 1t was a most
romantic spot and Catherine Paxton
felt that the fears of her young mining
engineer husband of the dearth of con-
genial companions proving depressing
were groundless. 1t was 80 DEAR fuss

quently.
Philips smile was always rather eva
sive. His minds eye had an unpieas-
ant faculty of travelling ahead of the
seasons and visiting ice bound lakes
and Srow-covered shores.
Before their marriage he had very
candidly dwelt upon the loneliness of
his mining home. He had suggested
a transfer 20 mines whose location
would bring him in closer touch with
the life to which Catherine was accus-
toned. but she had reminded him OF
her deep interest in his work, her pride
in his achievements. her love which
would bridge loneliness, and his doubts

them go thankfully when the passing
days saw no lessening of enthusiasm
in her new home.
But honeymoon days passed swiftly
Summer drifted into autumn, with a
chill wind creeping over the magic
lake. Philip found Catherine clutching
avidly at news from home and silences
which We're awkward grew between
them. Then. when the first SHOWS shut
down upon them and she took to star
ing for interminable moments over the
desolate lake, Philip said one day:
I'm going to send you on 4 visit
home next week.
OF course, she would not listen for a
time. but when the first intense cold
bit them she went back to the bachelor
brother in the town where she was
born, where everything was bright and
gay and comfortable.
Brother Bob had treated her adora bly,

been beautiful if he would have elimi-
mated remarks about the dreariness of
out of the way places, because, though
Philip was not mentioned directly, in
an intangible way he brought him so
wildly before her that dreadful some
thing always strangled in her throat.
For day or SO thereafter she would
turn deliberately from all gayety.
She passed through the Thanksgiving
season very bravely, SO everybody told
her. and she was enjoying the festivi-
ties attendant on the season when two
people Jared her serenity. One was
an old friend of her mothers; the other
an old chum of her own.
She met the former at crowded re-
ception. She had only moment with

'And-that young husband of yours?'
"Oh"-fumbled Catherine.

woman. Poor fellow
She walked away, leaving Catherine
frowning. She felt out of sorts with
the gay scene about her. She decided
to go home.
When she entered the dressing room
her frown evolved into cry of de-
light. Leisurely lying aside wraps was
her old chum Gwen, who had been out

CHARLEY SCHUCHS KILLED
BY A MORO NEAR JOLO
Picturesque Philippine Peace Leader
and Friend of United States
Officers Is Murdered.

MANILA. October IA. Charley
Schuchs was killed AID his wife wound
ed today by Moro near Jolo The
mans head was severed from his BODY.
No reason for the murder is assigned.
Schuchs had lived among the Moros for
thirty years and was held in the high
est esteem
One of the most picturesque and in
huential characters in the Philippines
and a dominating force for good was
Charlie Sehuchs, whose death at the
hands of Moro is reported. Gen.
Hugh Scott, assistant chief of the army
staff, spoke feelingly today of this man,
who had served Gen. Scott when he was
governor of Jolo province, and Gen.
Leonard Wood, in the capacity of inter-
prefer and general adviser during the
period of American occupation.
Gen. Scott said Schuchs possessed to
a remarkable degree the ability to
transmit to the native Moros the finest
shades of expression in English. and,
in addition. his influence with the ma
tives was so potent that on more than
one occasion he had been able to pre-
vent hostile clashes.
In his capacity of interpreter Schuchs
many perilous expeditions, during
which he always showed himself to be
a man of high courage, and was sew
eral times wounded during the bush
fighting.

4 The Searchli8ht /
Steel Ties.

Steel ties are coming into use in this
country. Steel ties firmly fixed in con-
crete roadbeds have long been en-
ployed by the steam and electric rail-
roads of Europe. They have been found
to be much more durable and much less
EXPENSIVE than the use of wooden ties
with their constant renewal. According
to European economy it was a waste Of
natures gifts continually to harvest
forests for the manufacture of short
lived track underpinning when the steel
tie protected by concrete, meant a per-
manent construction. Apparently, Amer
lean railway men are beginning to favor
the use of the steel products.
The recent construction of 400 feet
of double track in d small Ohio city
makes use of the steel tie and the con-
crete bedding One objection which has
been raised in this country against the
employment of such railway track
structures has been that they do not
allow trains to ride as smoothly. as do
the wooden-tie tracks. European railway
travel is cited in support of this asser-
ton. While the European cars do not
ride as smoothly as those operated in
this country, perhaps, it must be re-
membered that they are of far lighter
construction than the American cars,
and. So more subject to jars and sway
