Nroon and knew that to plead for mercy
would be waste of time She permitted
herself TO be lei to n waiting launch. Always
when she disobeyed Jones something like this
happened But this time they had cunnlngly
struck at her heart and all thought of her
personal safety became az nothing. For the
present she knew that she was IN no actual
physical danger sne was merely to be held
as a hostage. Would Susan have mentality
enough TO tell Jones where the taxicab had

Susan had proved herpef nonentlty, a bun

CHAPTER Ky.
ANOTHER TRAP Sc

CIlAIIEN Nv.
ANOTHER TRAP SET
VT the truth is TO be told, Jones was as
counterfeit denl as was Brainc. They had
both failed slgnally to reach the goal
sought But this time the organization had
broken even with Cones and this fact dis
mrbcd the butler !, might signify that the
turning point had been reached, and that In
th, future the good luck might swing over to
the side of the Black Hundred. Jones re-
doubled hs cautions, reiterated his warnings,
md slept lcss than ever Indeed, as he went
over the ground he conceded point to the
Black Hundred lie would no niger be able
10 keep tabs on the organization. They had
deserted their former quarters absolutely. The
sgent of whom they had leased the building
knew nothing except that he would have TO
repair the place. The rent had been paid a
year in advance, as it has been these last eight
years He had dealt through an attorney who
knew no more Of his clients than the agent.
SO It will be seen that Jones had in reality
received q check
More than all this, it would give his enc
mics renewed confidence; and this was
deeper menace than he cared TO face. But he
went about his affairs ny usual, giving no hint
o. any one Of the mental turmoil which had
possession of him.
1t is needless to state that Norton did not
scoop his rivals on the counterfeit story But
h. set 10 work exploring the cellar OF the
gutted building, and in one corner he found
battered die. He turned ,his over to the
secret Bervice men. There was one man Ge
wanted TO fnd-Vroon. This man, coull he
find him, should be made to lead him, Norton,

trying 10 tap R-aine by shadowing him. He
desired Braine to believe that his escape from

the slightest opportunity offered itself.

summer days went by, With the lilacs and the

AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS OF
NORTHWEST TO ENCOURAGE
IMMIGRATION.
STRONG OPPOSITION TO
PLAN IN UNITED STATES
Labor Organizations Profess to See
Great Menace in Movement to Induce
Belgian Refugees to Come to This
country-Asitation May Affect Pro-
posed Legislation at Washington.
Especial Correspondence

=
, Washington Dec 4.-The efforts
which are being made in different parts
of the United States to bring into this
country large numbers of Belgians, as
we'll as other Europeans made home-
! less by the war, are causing opposition
among organized labor Considera BILE
antagonasm is being displayed in some
states. according to information reach
ing here, to movements to bring in Bel
gians. the artagonism being based on
the ground that there are large num-
bers of idle people in the United States
now and that to bring in an annual
number of Europeans now would SIM
ply add to the trouble
Just what the effect of the opposition
from organized labor. or some elements
In 1T, to the bringing in of Be1gfans
will be remains to be seen. OF course,
the opposition can not interfere with
the immigration of Belsians or other
aliens who come in under the immigra-
ton laws in the regular and ordinary
channels. 1t can interfere to some ex-
tent with the efforts of commercial or
other organizations or states to bring
III large dSSTeSdtlOnS OF immigrants.
Effect on Legislation.
The situation is likely to have an eff
feet on the efforts to get immigration
legislation at the coming session of
congress. The American Federation Of
Labor and labor influences generally
have been working for stricter im-
migration legislation. They will urge
congress to enact the immigration bill
ioh hoe
and the situation with respect to pro-
posed Belgian immigration will doubt
less result in immigration legislation
being urged the more insistently. The
fact the president does not intend to
make Immigration legislation part
Of his program will make it difficult
to get the bill passed, no matter how
hard the labor leaders and other sup
porters of the measure urge it.
Scarcity Of Agricultural Labor.
That there is a constant dearth of
good agricultural labor in this country
is we'll known. Many students Of the
agricultural situation have seen in the
prospective immigration of large num-
sbers Of Belgians some hope of relief
for the farmers and some help for the
public thru increased agricultural
production. 1t Is well known that the
.Belgians are skilled farmers, there be-
ing none better in Europe.
1t may be assumed that If the United
States does not welcome Belgian i'm
migration and seek to get It, Canada
will not be slow to give 1t welcome In
recent years, as many speeches in con-
gress have indicated, the Canadians
have been wiser than this country in
respect to the encouragement of i'm
migrants and especially agricultural
Hence the amazing de-
western Canada. If the
Canadian government sees the way
open to settle on it's lands some of the
best agriculturists of Europe, it is not
likely it will fail to take advantage

C0MBING WON'T RID
HAIR OF DANDRUfF
The Easiest and Best Way Is
to Dissolve It.

The only sure way to get rid of dano-
ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy 1t
entirelys To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon: apply
it at night when retiring and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning most,
If not all, of your dandruff will be gone.
and three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find. too. that all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop at once,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy. silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair, do
by all means get rid of dandruff. for
nothing destroys the hair more quickly.
1t not only starves the hair and makes
1t fall out. but it makes stringy.
straggly, dull, dry. brittle and lifeless.
and everyone notices 1t. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. 1t is in
expensive and never fails to do the
work.
