Sherman had been the hero of the ex-
pedition. The planter pointed with pride
to the skin of a gigantic lioness feIled
by his prospective son-in-law. but Alma
did not care to see II. In the evening.
when a black servant who was devoted
to her told her that the lioness had been
killed by the spearmen but that Sherman
had bribed them to tell a lie, she was
filled with disgust and contempt.
She found Will in the arbor and sat
down beside him. An exchange of ten
der condolences was interrupted by Sher-
man, who stole into the arbor and re-
garded the couple with a sneer on his
lips

old planter stepped up beside him and
shook his pipe sccusingly at VIII.
Il must ask you to leave this place at

you and Sherman shall be married at
once"
Never whispered Alma in Wills ear
as they walked out. I'll run away from

claws. but she felt no fear.
Suddenly the pony stumbled and tum-
bled down a sandy slide. Alma fell

closed and she lapsed into unconscious
was broad daylight. Slowly memories OF
the. preceding days events filtered
through her aching mind.
Then dull. unreasoning fear seized her.
A pair OF treacherous eyes, cleaning
evilly with craving for blood and flesh,
watched her slyly and desiringly. In the
underbrush a few feet away crouched a
lion. and its dull rumblings told her 1t

her slowly, ever SO slowly. to an ex-
quisitely torturous death The beast
reached forth a claw. tilted its savage
head. and regarded her with the crafty
eyes of the feline that knows its prey is
doomed.
Alma shut her eyes and waited for
what she knew would be the most pain
full of deaths Every bone in her body
ached and she could not move. Then the
snarls of other hungry beasts reached her
ears. and in a moment or two the lion
would leap upon her TO snatch its victim
from the others. But each moment
seemed a century.
Then a dull rumble. a heavy painting, a
zigzagging movement of thunderous feet,
and she felt herself lifted. tenderiy but
clumsily. and carried away by some one
with a heavy. lurching gait She opened
her eyes gingerly. dreading knowledge OF
what might have happened. and found
herself folded in the trunk Of faithful old
Sambo. The elephant was lurching away
with his burden toward a hunters cabin,
and she was safe. But her dazed mind
had barely grasped the idea when black
ness engulfed her again and she surren-
dered to utmost fatigde and dizziness
When she opened her eyes VIII was
kneeling beside her and tenderiy bandag-

receded before the joy OF his presence and
the touch of his hands. Will was speak

Several days later Alma and Will paid |
old Sambo a visit. The girl was still |
feeble, but she smiled happily. for the old !
planter had learned how Sherman had |
brbed the spearmen to tell a lie. and the |
deception had enraged him. and slowly |
and reluctantly he had admitted that Will
was the only man for his daughter after
all. Il
Guess you knew II would come out all |
right, didn't you. Ssmbo?" murmured the
girl and the elephant wagged his trunk
wisely and looked at the couple with a
humorous twinkle that seemed to say

ACCORDING to the supreme court, a
workman injured on his way to his
place of employment can hold his en-
ployers liable under the state liability
law. This decision comes in the case
of a Milwaukee working man injured
while on his way to work. This of
course goes further and would hold any
employer liable for injuries and fatal
tiles. to workers on their way home.
Thus employers are held liable for all
sorts of things in which they in no wise
have word to say. In order to pro-
tect themselves they are obliged under
the law to carry industrial insurance,
which is nothing more or less than a
penalty imposed on every industrial
man who economies and enlarges his
business to give employment to others.
The law encourages lawlessness by
compelling the employer to pay dam
ages for the employees negligence. A
penalty on industry, premium on law
lessness. This makes men DESTROYS of
retiring and tying up their money and
keeping it out of commercial channels,
or emigrating from the state. Such is
the situation in Wisconsin today Elk

ENORMOUS development of the fnan-
cial side of the road movement shown
in the fact that 1890 counties in the
United States now have outstanding
highway bonds aggregating a quarter
of billion dollars, according to the
Official Good Roads Year Book for 1914,
which is to be issued by the American
Highway association in Washington
early in March. The fact that the
counties mentioned have bonded them
selves to the extent of quarter of a
billion dollars in order to improve and
maintain their roads, is only one of the
surprising developments of the road
movement. A stupendous new bust
ness is shown to have grown up in the
United States as a result of the road
boom-a business employing more than
one thousand persons in actual snper-
vision of the roads, in addition to the
increase in banking business, due to
handling bonds, increases in the road
machinery and materials, and the other
by-prOducts of the boom. Not merely
has there been tremendous saving in
the wear and tear on horses and in the
prevention of waste on the farm due to
the inability to get to the shipping
points over poor roads, but there has
been an actual increase in property as
a result of the need for work and ma
terials on the construction of new roads
and the improvement of old ones.

WHAT is the matter with the unem-
ployed? Why are there more unem-
ployed now than in the last dozen
years? Think! What prosperous times
we have been Boosting of all these
years! Big wages; big crops; big jobs;
great discoveries; fortunes in mines;
fortunes galore in every direction, and
yet aimless unemployed swarming into
churches where people are at prayer;
swarming into churches and asking for
bread and bed-men who never saw
worshiping people in a church before!
Yes, what are we coming to? Who is
to blame for this condition?-Lancas-
ter Teller. None of the conditions
above complained of existed until the
tariff tinkers" began to get busy. 1t
does not seem to have occurred to the
democratic party that these jobs are
lost on account of the surrender of the
American market to foreign production
and labor. The problem would solve
itself as it always will do when pro-
tective tariff guarantees work and
wages to American workers.

JUST thirty years ago the United
States congress first officially recOg-
nized the present system of standard
time by adopting it for the District of
Columbia. The first to propose that
time should be governed by meridians
one hour apart is said to have been
Charles F. Dowd The plan taken up
bv the railroads the following year,
however, was drawn by William F. AL
len, secretary of the general time con-
vention. Today clocks all over the
United States are ticking off the sec
onds almost in perfect unison. Some
thirty nations have followed the lead
taken by the United States by comput-
ing standard time by meridians one
hour apart

THE Dane county meeting of pro-
testing taxpayers held at Madison Sat
urday proved all that was advertised
and some more, judging from news
paper reports Of the gathering. More
than 700 were present, mostly farmers,
and entirely non-partisan in proceed
ings. A bevy of tax MASTERS from the
capitol came over and wanted to de-
bate the taxation problem but found
the farmers in no mood to hear explain
tions from interested parties and they
were literally baWled out of the meet
ing. Resolutions were adopted form
ing a home rule league and recounting
the protests against present conditions
in state affairs. Every voter should
get copy of these resolutions and read
them.
