 I am not tiner. but if eyer tine. the timers will jine with the Nlks.
 Without any special written code or creed, the Eiks stand for certain standard of intellect and ethics. The man with an eik's tooth on his watch chain. or the antlers' in his button hole. has no quarrel with the world. He accepts life and finds it good.
 The true Elk does not condemn, dis paraee, nor rip regulations up the back.
 Realizing his own limitations, he is lenient in his Judgments toward those who have been tempted by fate beyond their power to resist. This quality of mercy, have noticed, is strongly implanted in the Elk nature.
 The Elk never weeps over his own troubles. but for the stricken souls of earth his tears of pity are near the surface. He loves children, respects old age and so far as I have seen doesn't incline especially toward in- difference to feminine charms.
 believe this will hold: no little apology for a man ever joined the Elks-he would not feel at home among them. To be an Elk you must have faith in other men, faith in yourself, and faith in the universe.
 The E7ks all look alike and are all of one age. Just what that age is I have not made out, but it lies some where between 30 and 50. No Elk ever is over 50. no matter how long he has lived, and none weight over 200 pounds They all have the joyish, boyish, bubbling heart of youth and no whiskers.
 I never saw an Elk who was very rich, excepting in kindness and good cheer. But they all have all the money they need. even if not all they want
 The Elk Is not troubled about say- ing his soul-in fact he is not troubled about anything. Perhaps that Is one distinguishing feature-he does not worry. nor shake the red rag of wordy warfare. He believes that every thing is all right-or nearly so-and that his task Is to do his work, and than he has to.
 You cannot down man who can laugh at himself The Elk stays right in the game; I never heard of one re- tiring from business.
 There seems to be little danger that the Elks' fraternity will evolve into a religion. He knows that truth is g. point of view, that all is relative. that nothing is final nor absolute. nor can it be in a world where nothing is permanent but change.
 So the Elk's religion is Now and Here; to partake of all good things in moderation; to give out love and kind ness because these things come back. and to supply a scrap only to the man who repeatedly asks for 1t. and will accept nothing else-this as matter of accommodation.
 To do good is the first prong in an Elk's creed. And he realizes, being wise that the best way to benefit yourself is to benefit others.

about him and lifted him over the open
grating.
And then-through space he fell feet
first-landing on the stone floor below.
Upward he looked to the grating,
cursing the jeering faces he saw look
ing down upon him. Cursing even the
king, who peered down for this last
glimpse of the one who had dared
stand in his path between majesty and
Godiva
And then the kings men closed the
grating and locked it with huge key.
And then the king and the kings men
went away and mounted to the bright

that shaft of light disclose. Yonder
were piles of bones and skulls of pris-
oners past, captives who had been
dropped into this place even as he,
Paulo, had been dropped-never again
to return to the world from which they
had been torn, and probably all of
them as guiltless of crime as he.
And what further horror was this ?
All, a living horror! Rats scurried
forth and back across the floor of the
hideous open grave of former victims
of the king, victims whose bones re-
mained to tell the awful tale. The
rats at first sought refuge close to the
walls, as if afraid of this newcomer
and seeking escape Yet presently
now these rats grew bolder and ad-
vanced upon Paulo to scrutinize him
and investigate his possibilities as to
sustenance fit for colony of rodents.
In impotent fury, Paulo viewed t.ts
fearful company, then one by one his
foot descended upon them and crushed
out their lives, an activity which for
the moment gave him some satisfac-
tion. But, having vanquished the only
enemy the dungeon contained-what

Paulo sat on the dungeon floor and
shut out the terrible sight of the skele-

gather his thoughts into some kind Of
semblance of order, resolving that he
would as long as possible keep from
going stark mad
And meantime he would live on the
victims of his crushing heel; food

door, and asked him 10 call the rectory

Mr.. Schweitzer had gone the day before
to help the rector, the Rev. John C.
Dean, repair water pipes that had been
frozen. Mr.. Masters went to the rec
tory and looking through a window he
saw the Rev. Mr.. Dean sitting crouched
and stiff in chair. On the floor was
the form of Mr.. Schweitzer, writhing
in agony.
Mr.. Masters burst open the door and
found the rector dead and the young
machnist unconscious. A flood of gas
from four open cocks in a gas stove
filled the room.
Mr.. Dean had been away with his
wife and two children for their Christ
mas dinner at the home of his wife s
parents Returning Saturday morning
he found the water pipes in the rectory
frozen and called in Mr.. Schweitzer to
help him fix them.

able to tell what he knew of the TRACE

CHAPTER v.
The Maaic Potion,

The capture of Paulo in the forest
had been witnessed from distance by
Hagar, the witch, For this cruelty of
the king to young man to whom she
had freely given her friendship-how
Hagar hated him! She would help
these children-aye! she would at once
make preparation to supply them with
the wherewithal to circumvent the
ultimate purpose of the king in cap
turing Paulo and commanding that he
be put to DEATH
For Hagar had not only witnessed
the taking of Paulo. She had also from
a distance witnessed the manifestation
of the kings passion for Godiva And
Hagar was wise in the ways of bad
men. She knew that the king had no
good intentions toward Godiva. So
Hagar resolved now to provide Godiva
with the means to nullify entirely the
kings plans for the ensnaring of the
dove.
Back to her cave Hagar hobbled and
there at once began preparing brew
of great and magic power. With rose
leaves she filled the pot that hung over
the fire. To these she added sundry
herbs and then stirred the whole in
water that had passed through her
own mouth. She stirred and stirred
the concoction till finally she added
some secret concomitants known only
to witches And with that the brew
simmered down and presently only
powder was left in the cauldron.
This powder Hagar took from the
kettle and poured into small vial and
corked 1t with rose leaves. She was
ready now for the coming of Godiva.
And 10! Presently Godiva herself
appeared, entering the cave with the
dropping form and sorrowing face of
one in travail.
"Hagar," Godiva said, my heart is
forever emptied of happiness and my
soul aches for the clasp of death.

LIVE SNAKE IN STOMACH
X-Ray Reveals Reptile, Which Is Re

Madison, Wis, Dec. 2S.-One of the
most unusual cases in the history of
local medicine was revealed at a local
hospital, when physicians submitting a
woman from Waukakee, Dane county,
to an Xray examination, discovered
that her stomach contained a live snake
six inches long.
The woman had not suffered any
pain up to the time of the discovery,
but was greatly distressed when told
of thel results of the examination. The
snake was removed without operating.
1t proved to be a reptile, commonly
known as the grass snake, nearly pure
white. The hospital authorities refuse
to make any statement regarding the
case.

How to Use the Daily Menu

If YOU want onions on Sundays and
holidays and a salad at night and at
noon, leave something out of the given
menu and put these excellent foods in.
Just as there is a reason for serv-
ing soup at the beginning of meal
is there sense in finishing the dinner
with a sweet. Popular taste and sci
sntifie principles rule these things.
To have those foods that are most
agreeable to your taste and needs, at
least cost of energy and money is the
great consideration.
Every meal should contain some
fresh. green food. Onions, lettuce. eel
cry or cabbage are available all
through the year and their mineral
salts will do more to keep you well
than doctors.
