was now absolutely convinced that his
whilom friend Braine and the Princess
Perigoff we're directly concerned.
Florence had either been going to
or coming from the apartment And
that memorable day of the abduction
the princess had been in the dry goods
shop.
Vroon took downtown surface car,
and Norton took the same. He sat
huddled in a corner, never suspecting
that Vroon was watching him from a
corner of his eye. Norton was not
keen today. The thought of Florence
kept running through his head.
The car stopped and Vroon got Off.
He led Norton a winding course which
at length ended at the door of a tene-
ment building. Vroon entered. Nor
ton paused, wondering what next to
do, now that his man had reached his
destination. Well, since he had fol-
lowed him all this distance he must
make an effort to find out who he was
and what he was going to do. eau
tiously he entered the hallway. AS
he was about to lay his hand on the
newell post of the dilapidated stairs
the floor dropped from under his feet
and he was precipitated into the cellar.
This tenement belonged to the
Black Hundred; it concealed a thou
sand doors and a hundred traps. It's
history was as dark as its Railways
When Vroon and his companion,
who had been waiting for him, de-
scended into the cellar they found the
reporter insensible. They bound blind

So Jim stumbled down to the cooks

CHAPTER X.

When Jones received the telegram
that Florence was safe. the iron nerve
of the man broke down. The suspense
had been so keenly terrible that the
sudden reaction left him almost hys-
terically weak. Three weeks Of wait
ing, waiting. Not even the scoundrel
and his wife who had been the princI-
pal actors in the abduction had been
found. From a great ship in midocean
they had disappeared. Doubtless they
had hidden among the immigrants,
who. for little money, would have
fooled all the officers on board. There
was no doubt In Jones' mind that the
pair had landed safely at Madrid.
AS for Susan, she did have hyster-
les. She went about the room, wailing
and laughing and wringing her hands
You would have thought by her actions
that Florence had just died. The sight
of her stirred the saturnine lips of the
butler into a smile. But he did not
demonstrate with her In fact. he
rather envied her freedom in emotion.
Man cannot let go in that fashion; it
is a sign Of weakness; and he dared
lot let even Susan see any sign of
weakness in him.

The girl wrapped her arms all the
tighter around Barnes neck.
An idea came into the old sailors

stand"
"In black an white. r y can't have

Bannock had all the time in the world,
carrying no perishable goods, he con-
sented. But he never could quite IN
derstand what followed. He had put
Florence and Braine in the boat and
landed them; but when he went down
to see If Braine had left anything be-
hind, he found that individual bound
and gagged in his bunk.

his pockets. Not a sou-markee. not a

him that the clothes he wore were not

time. Shanghaiedl What the devil

"She goes with me, or you'll re-

"An right But guess tn law

Barnes sighed. He was on land

to his patience. He seized Braine by
the shoulders and hustled him out of
the house.

And, simple-minded sailor that he
was, he thought this settled the mat

That night he kept his ears open for
unusual sounds, but he merely wasted
his nights rest. Quite naturally, he
reckoned that the stranger would
make his attempt at night. Indeed,
he made it in broad daylight, with
Barnes not a hundred yards away,
callxing a dory whose seams had
sprung aleak. Braine had Florence
upon the chartered yacht before the
old man realized what had happened.
He never saw Florence again; but one
day, months later, he read all about
her in a newspaper.
Florence fought; but she was weak,
and so the conquest was easy. Braine
was kind enough, now that he had
her safe. He talked to her, but she
merely stared at the receding coast

Letters to the Editor
AN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION,

Editor the Missourian: Just about
this time of the year every student in
the University is asked to buy an uc-
tivity ticket. The main argument is
that he will save more than double
the price of the ticket. When ever an
argument appeals to a mans pocket
book he is more likely to yield than
to any other argument. But a differ
ent elemen. enters the matter in re-
gard to the purchase of an activity
ticket. And that is school spirit. We
hear a lot about these two words
school spirit and it is used SO
much on every occasion that 1t has
come to mean nothing to mass of
the older students. But there is one
way that it is demonstrated and that
is by the attendance at the school
affairs.
There is always an excuse for
student to not purchase an activity
ticket. There is still a better ex-
cuse for the student who does own
one to stay away from a University
game of any kind. A plan has been
adopted by the large number of Uniyer-
stiles in this country so that it is pos
sible for every student in the Univer-
sity to attend every game. And in
these same schools the attendance at
the games is one of the features. Here /
is the plan they have, every student |
in the University is a member of the |
Association. When he enters |
school he pays his membership fee !
for the school year along with the en-
trance fee, in fact it is part of the /
entrance fee. He is given a card that !
will admit him to any game. And he
goes to the game. Few students are
going to sit in lonesome room, when
ne has admission to football game, II
md hear his fellow students cheering
he team on. The tuition at the Uni
Tersity of Missouri is not out of
'eason. Why can't it be made a part
If the tuition SO that all will have
ickets. 1t would bring more money
nto the athletic Golfers. Perhaps on
his basis the price of an activity
icket could be reduced 1t has been
stimated that not half of the Univer-

went as high as $3.50 day. Says
Harper's Weekly, for September rs,
1914:
Throughout the entire harvest
time this haphazard, guess work plan
obtained. When men finished job
they would have to make their way to
the nearest town, generally on foot,
and there hang about the station or
town pump until some other farmer
would drive up and hire them. Even
where there was work in plenty, days
of idleness were sandwiched in be-
tween each employmnt, with the re-
suit that few were able to keep as
much as a dollar ahead of starva-
tion."
Ruthless deportation of these idle
men followed. Trains were met and
workers were forbidden to alight by
armed men. Hundreds of men were
cheated and deceived by employment
sharks. When the men organized
themselves together to hold out for SO
day, they were arrested, thrown in
Jail, punched together and driven out
of town like cattle. Work isn't al
ways where it is advertised to be.
The Commission on Industrial Re-
lations has proposed "a national bu-
reau of labor exchanges for the pur-
pose of uniting into one efficient body
all the agencies-local, state and pri-
collecting and furnishing
information regarding employers
and working people seeking work; a |
division of the country into districts,
each with an office to act as a clear
inghouse for ali information regard
ing labor-market conditions and
strict regulation of all employment
agencies"
If this suggestion should be en-
bodied in law it would send men in
proper numbers to where they are
wanted. An organization, such as it
would establish, would plan some sys-
EN- of rotation which could keep the
nen moving from north to south and
'ack again as they are needed. 1t
would see that the men are not de-
eived and robbed There isn't any
in working If one is going
0 be cheated out of his earnings. And
would weed out the unemployed
7ho honestly want to work from the
riminal and in that way protect the

STOP SHOWING, in BREAD LINE.

A month or SO more and the winter
bread line will be forming. The un-
employed must eat. Each year we
face the same question: the floating
laborer and what to do with him.
Some 100000 men rallied to the call
for harvest hands to gather this years
crop. Since June the western grain
belt has been filled with disorder and
riot. Thousands of men riding the
brake beams have robbed stores, raw
aged fields and have made towns in
Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and
the Dakotas treble their police forces.
1t won't do to say these men would
not work even If they had the chance.
Just look what happened this year
in the harvest fields.
Labor bureaus commenced to adver-
tise for harvest hands in May. They
called for 100000 men. These adver-
tisements said there would be work
for three to six months at $3.50 to SO
a day. The estimate of 100000 men
was a guess, and a bad one. No
effort was made to keep more than
100000 men from going to the harvest
fields, or for a good distribution of
the workers when they shipped to the
fields.
They came from everywhere. The
labor bureaus had no connection with
each other. No system was used for
marshalling the army of reapers
More than twice the needed number
of men swarmed like locusts into
Southern Kansas. Wages fell to so
cents day. At the same time North
ern Kansas was short on men. Wages
