CHAPTER XVIII.
The pendulum- -Swinoinq.

To a man seeking only to escape
from himself, all roads are equal ana
all destinations likely to prove uni
formally disappointing. Turning his
back upon the iron works in the days
of defeat, with no very clear idea OF
what he should or where he should
go, Griswold pushed through the
strikers picket lines, and, avoiding the
militant suburb. drifted by way OF sun
dry outlying residence streets and a
country road to the high ground back
Of the city.
In deserting Raymer he was actu-
ated by no motive of disloyalty.. On
the contrary, so much Of the motive
as had any bearing upon his relations
with the young iron founder sprang
from a generous impulse. to free Ray
mer from an incubus. If 1t were the
curse Of the Midas-touch to turn all
things to gold. it seemed to be his own
peculiar curse to turn the gold 10
dross; to leave behind him a train OF
disaster, defeat and tragic deprayity.
The plunge into the labor conflict had
merely served to afford another strik-
ing example Of his inability to break
the evil spell, and Raymer could well
spare him.
On the long tramp to the hills the
events Of the past few months mar
shaled themselves in accusing review.
No human being, save one, Of all those
with whom he had come in contact
since the day Of dragon-bearding In
the Orleans bank had escaped the
contaminating touch, and each in turn
had suffered loss. The man Gavitt
had given his name and identity; the
mate Of the Belle Julie had sacrificed
what little respect he may have had
for law and order by becoming, poten-
TALLY, at least, a criminal accessory.
The little Irish cab-driver had sold
himself for a price; and the negro
deckhand had endured his mess OF
fried fish. The single exception was
Charlotte Farnham, and he told him
self that she had escaped only be-
cause she had done her duty as she
saw 1t.
And as the bedeviling thing had be-
gun, so it had continued, losing none
Of it's potency for evil. In the little
world of Wahaska, which was to have
been the theatre Of Utopian demon
stration, the curse had persisted. The
money, used with the loftiest inten-
tions, had served only as means to

Would Prevent Wharf.-The Fort Mill
Times invents a scheme to stop the
war. Let's pass a law" gays the
Times, requiring the millionaires to
form the first line Of defense
then they could promptly buy Off the
enemy and we wouldn't have to fight"
Good scheme, but a former Dillon
business man goes the Times one bet
ter. He has a scheme that will pre-
vent war. Talking with the editor Of
the Herald some months ago he said:
Let's prevent war by reversing the
rules Of warfare and forming our lines
Of battle in this manner: Kings, en-
perors and presidents first; diplomats
and confidential agents second; cabi-
net members, senators and congress
men third; bankers and manufacturers
fourth, then pay the laboring classes
their usual wages to stay at home and
make supplies for the army" This
plan, thinks this clear-thinkirg gen.
tleman, will put a stop to the wars.
and we believe he is right-Dillon

back, the oldest Odd Fellow in Ameri-
ca, who lives at the age Of 100 in
Greenwood, Neb., was a boyhood

lived to be III. Following are his
rules for living to be 100:
go to bed early and get up early.
Never sleep in heated room.
Keep fresh air in the sleeping
room.
"Sleep out of doors in summer
winter. too if it can be arranged.
Drink plenty of fresh water.
use very little red liquor.
"As old age comes on take. each
morning, small wipeglass of one
third glycerine and two-thirds good
whisky.
Smoke as often as you please, but
do not inhale the smoke or blow it
out through the nostrils.
IF you are unfortunate enough to
lose your wife get another. 1t is not
good for man or woman to live alone.
Don't worry over anything. Wor-
ry kills more people than disease.
Keep an even temper at all times.
Be careful at all times.
Keep the feet dry and the head
clear.
Never eat meat. A little chicken
will not harm one, but must not be
eaten too often.
Eat plenty of fresh fish.

Keep away from sweet stuff. II

Take plenty Of outdoor exercise,
Walk a great deal.

an end, and the end had proved to be
the rearing Of an apparently impas-
sable wall Of bitter antagonism be-
tween master and men. And the Sc
cret Of the moneys origin and acquisi-
ton, which was to have been so easily
cast aside and ignored, had become a
soul l-sickness incurable and even con-
tagious. Griswold was beginning to
suspect that it had attracted Margery
Grierson; that it had subconsciously,
if not otherwise, thrust itself into
Charlotte Farnham's life; and the
days lately past had shown him into
what depths it could plunge it's
wretched guardian and slave.
Now that the plunge had been taken
and he had been made to understand
that he must henceforth reckon with a
base and cowardly underself which
would not stop short Of the most heni-
Gus crime, he told himself that he must
have time to think-to plan.
Caring nothing for it's roughness, he
followed the country road into a val
ley forest of oaks. After an hour Of
aimless tramping he began to have
occasional rear-hand glimpses of the
lake; and a little farther along he
came out upon the travelled road
leading to the summer resort hotel at
the head Of De Soto bay.
Still without any definite purpose in
mind he pushed on, and upon reaching
the hotel he went in and registered for
a room. Here he drew the window
shades and lay down, and since the
week of strife had been cutting deep
ly into the nights, when he awoke 1t
was evening and a cheerful clamor in
the dining room beneath told him that
it was dinner time.
1t is trite saying that many a gulf.
seemingly impossible, has been safely
bridged by sleep. Bathed, refreshed
and with the tramping stains removed,
lost appetite regained.
Early on the following day he sent a
note to Mrs. Holcomb by one of the
inn employees; but the copy of the
Daily Wahaskan laid beside his break
fast plate made it unnecessary to tele-
phone Raymer The paper had full
account Of the sudden ending Of the
lockout and the resumption OF
work in the Raymer plant. and he
read it with a curious stirring OF
self compassion. AS he had reasoned

night for New York city, where she
will enter Whites Bible school to pre-
pare herself for foreign missionary
work. Miss Whitesides Is a member
Of the First A. r. P. church and Is
young lady Of most lovable Chris
tian character and a charming per-
sonality. Mr.. D. ]. Gardner, su-
perintendent Of the Armstrong mill,
brought to the Gazette office Saturday
quite a curiosity in the shape Of an
apple snake" The reptile was found
by Mrs. A. A. Stanton, who lives near
the Armstrong mill, and was coiled
in small cavity in an apple. 1t was
about the size Of very coarse sewing
thread, and was about seven or eight
inches in length, and was very much
the same in appearance as the cab
bage snake which are sometimes
found in cabbage. This is the first
instance which has come to our atten-
ton Of there being snakes in apples.
The apple in which his snakeship was
residing was among a lot that had
been brought down from the noun
tains. Mrs. Elizabeth Ann Rhyme,
wife Of Mr.. G. M. Rhyme, who lives
near Olney Presbyterian church, vas
