suitcase. Across the almost untrav-
eled road they forced her and down
on the stone dock. every footstep
dogged by WI and his emissaries.
Get into the boat" WI ordered
She climbed down into the dirty
yawl, and the Cinnamon tossed her
suitcase after her.
IF you see that for any reason she
is about to escape" added WI savage
& ly, do away with her"
He finished with threatening ges-
ture as the Cinnamon followed Elaine
into the boat. Then he turned on
his heel and walked rapidly back to
the deserted house. There he climbed
into the automobile with the two
toughs and all were rapidly driven
away by the faithless mechanician.
The yawl tossed up and down on
the rough swells that came in from
the ocean, as the powerful arms of
the sailors pulled her out through the
blackness to the schooner.
There Elaine was lifted over the rail
and forced across the deck down into
the murky, ill-smelling hold. 1t made
no difference to Gregor whether he
carried a cargo of contraband or a
white slave. In his gruff voice he bel
lowed orders for getting under way,
while the Chinaman half led. half
pushed Elaine into a cramped room
amidships.
He set down the suitcase and. with
grunt and scowl left, locking the
door and shuffiing along the passage
way to a steep flight of steps to the
deck.
Elaine paced up and down her mar
row prison distracted.
Suddenly she paused moment as
her eye fell on the suitcase. There
flashed through her mind the message
l had given her from Kennedy.
She seized the suitcase and tore 1t
open with nervous fingers.

Instantly, before the Chinamen could
recover from their surprise at the sud
den attack, Craig and Brainard were
on them. One rushed for a window

Kennedy moved over toward IL.
"A pigeon trap. suspect" Craig re-
piled. Lets wait"
They sat there for several minutes.
Evidently the Chinese had been wait
ing for something. Craig felt that
waiting might pay.
At last he was rewarded by the
sound OF futter outside. A click fol-
lowed as the little door shut, trapping
the pigeon. The signal flag in the
room moved.
Kennedy loked at it a moment, then
carefully opened the door In the back
of the trap and seized the bird. From
the quill on its leg he took a tightly
rolled note and read.

Two of the gang had been captured,

He marched Hop along sullenly, while
Brainard kicked the other Chinaman
to his feet and followed.
They did not have far to go. Scarce

Craig waved to him.
Quickly Craig produced cards of

hung up the receiver excitedly and
tucked the little black box under my
arm as hurried out.
Elaine had decided to motor down
to the country home of one of her
friends who lived on the shore OF New
Jersey. and accordingly, late in the
afternoon, called the garage and or
dered Johnson to have the car ready

that they had already boarded the
revenue cutter and were waiting i'm
patiently. 1t was fairly sizable craft
| They hauled me aboard and we cast
of. The wind blew in keenly from the
bay and we spun down the harbor
keeping sharp lookout for any sus
picious craft.
Already Wu Fang and a couple Of
his lieutenants had gone down to the
Van bort jetty. No message had been
received from Gregor, but they felt
sure that he would be there with the
schooner.
Finally WI directed one of his men
to set OF signal, a fiashlight on the
end of the jetty. while he strained his
eyes through the darkness for some
answering signal
He had not reckoned wrong. Far
out over the water came an answering
signal from the schooner.

mechanician subsequently.

WI.
Down in a musty room in the base
ment of the deserted house was Elaine.
She was neither bound nor gagged.
In fact, there was no necessity for it.
No one could hear her cries, nor could
she escape. for the two roughnecks who
had seized her were guarding her. be-
sides a couple of Cinnamon.
Wu Fang came in silently and moved
over close to her. He said not a word,
but an evil smile spread over his sim
lister face as she shrank from him.
Meanwhile yawl had put out from
the schooner loaded with cans of the
precious contraband drug and had
pulled up at the old stone jetty and

and started up to the house laden with
the heavy tins.
As WI stood before Elaine the Chi

and began piling them up in an old
closet in the room. At last they fin

"All is done, master" bowed one
who seemed to be leader.

Indian Eolk Soma

In Philadelphia, a short time ago,
heard the first performance in Amer
lea of a new composition by one of
great Italian, Busoni. 1t was played
by the composer and by the Philadel-
phia Symphony orchestra under the
baton of Leopold StokowsIi, who de-
clared that this new work was posi-
bly, the most important step in musi-
cal development since Debussy first
began to break fresh paths in tonal
and harmonic relations This COM
position, already played with great
success in Europe, is built entirely
upon American Indian melodies-not
imaginative inventions of the COM
poser, but genuine Indian songs, for
whose authenticity l can vouch, as l
myself wrote them down from the lips
of the Indians in the far West and
later gave them to Busoni at his re-
quest.-Natalie Curtis in the Southern
Workman.

METHODS OF MANAGING MIND
Psychology and It's Effects VIII Be
Found Well Worth Anyone's
Patient Study.

Despite the difficult look OF the
word, psychology is a moss interest
ing and intensely fascinating subject
Briefly, it is the science which deals
with the extraordinary effect Of the
mind on the body, says London An
swers.
To make matters clearer, here is a
simple instance Of ordinary psycholog-
icaI effect. You are cycling, and come
to a long, steep hill If you let your
eyes dwell on the hill and its length a
feeling Of depression and discourage
ment at once affects you That is
communicated to the body. which in
stantly tires and loses energy.
The hill, sight, mind, muscles
there's the psychological sequence.
But if you keep your eyes fixed on
the road just ahead and pedal on that
strange tired out" feeling doesnt
come. It's quite weird
Soldiers, tired to the point Of ex-
haustion, will revive and march with
energy if the band plays.
Why do we prefer a twisting road
for a long walk in preference to one
which, if shorter, stretches out like
an endless ribbon straight in front of
us? To avoid the psychological de-
preston of spirits which the long,
straight road gives.
Now you can see that a study of
psychological effects is practical and
useful
An interesting example of being psy-
chologically "unsensed" is to be found
in the attitude of civilians living in
the fighting zone Of northern France.
The effect on them has been such that
they have lost the danger sense"
They go about their ordinary occu-
pations apparently careless of shot or
shell. It is not bravery, nor is it res
ignation; their attitude is a psy-
Geological one.
A commercial traveller has stated
that he always knew when the psy-
Geological moment had come for him
to snap the order he had been ang-
ling for. That is, he noted the swing
of the wavering mind, and booked his
order before his customer was bal
anced" again.
The best safeguard against being
psycholOgically affected is to maintain
your hold over your mind and to keep
your feeling in equilibrium. Manage
your mind and don't let it manage
you!
The best antidote to ordinary, ev-
eryday life psychological effects is to
have many interests in life-one main
one, and the rest side lines, as it were
A busy mind keeps its equilibrium,
and where stern common sense reigns
psychological effects have no place.
The subject is worth studying, is it
not? Follow it up. This article
touches but the fringe.

Waste Mica Now Used,

Mica mining in the United States
began in 1903 with the opening of the
Ruggles mine, in Grafton county, New
Hampshire. Until mica mining began
in North Carolina, about 1867, New
Hampshire furnished the entire output
of mica in the United States.
In 1914 North Carolina ranked first
in the value Of its mica output, and
New Hampshire second.
Mica is still obtainable in consider
able quantities from the dumps of the
old mines in New Hampshire, at which
material for small sheets was thrown
away thirty Or forty years ago.
