Norton knew very well that IL need
said must they would not hesitate to-
execute a melodramatic plan of this
character 1t was the way of the Slav;
they had to make crime abnormal I'M
order to enjoy it. They could very
well have knocked him on the head
then and there and have done with
him. But the time used in conveying
him to the railroad might prove his
salvation. Nearly four hours had
passed since the sending Of the tele-
gram to Jones.
They bound Florence and left her
seated in the chair. AS soon as they
were gone she rolled to the floor. She
was able to right herself to her knees,
and after torturous five minutes
reached the fireplace. She burnt her
hands and wrists. but the blaze was
the only knife obtainable. She was
free.
Jones arrived with half a dozen
policemen. Vroon alone escaped.
The butler caught Florence in his
arms and nearly crushed the breath
out of her. And she was SO glad to
see him that she kissed him half q
dozen times. What IL he was her
fathers butler? He was brave and
loyal and kind.
They tied him to the track" she
cried. Look at my wrists" The but
Ter did SO, and kissed them tenderly.
."And / saved him."
Jones stretched out hand over
Florence's shoulder when the time
comes" he said; when the right time
comes and my masters enemies are
COMPOUNDED. But always the rocks,
never the hawks, do we catch. God
bless you Norton! I don't know what
I should have done without YOU"
when chaps in love- began Nor
ton, embarrassedly.
81 know, / know" interrupted Jones.
THE second relief train is waiting.
Let us hurry back. sha'n't feel SCI
cure till we are once more in the
house.
So, arm in arm, the three of them
went down the tracks to the hand
car which had brought the police.
And now for the iron bound chest
at the bottom of the sea.

FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT
Continued from Page -

:
Wilson, of Iowa, who for sixteen years
was secretary of agriculture, made
speech in which he said that if the
Mississippi valley were cultivated for
all it was worth, each acre on the av-
erage would sustain one human being.
Do you know how many people that
would give us? 1t. would give US l.
$50, 100000 people between the top of
the Rockies and the crest of the Allie
ghenies.
The Pork Barrel
"During the twenty years that |
have been in Congress good many
Rivers and Harbors bills have been
passed. The chief trouble in the past
been derided and denounced and called
Pork Barrel. If there ever was
time when that epithet applied to riv-
er and harbor legislation, that time is
passed.. The chief trouble in the past
has been not that too much money
was appropriated for river and har-
Dor work, but too little; and the ap-
preparations came too far apart. The
old policy of river and harbor appro-
priations biennially, or even logger in
tervals was serious mistake. The
intervening years without appropria-
tions by congress, witnessed the
might of the waters undoing the work
done under previous appropriations
Since its commencement, five years
ago, the wisdom of the policy of an
nual appropriations for rivers and
harbors has been convincingly DEM
onstrated and completely justified.
ssThe rivers and harbors bill which
recently passed the house, and is now
pending in the senate, makes appro-
priations for no new projects and car
ries a total of only $34, 000, 900, in
round numbers. Economy was prob
ably necessary this year, under exist
ing conditions, but in ordinary times
the $50,O00,O00 annually asked for by
the National Rivers and Harbors con-
gress ought to be the minimum, in
stead of the maximum, amount ex-
pended until our waterways and har-
.ors have been adequately improved
Will Help Others
'sThe people of the Mississippi val
ley believe in improving the water
ways and harbors in all parts of the
United States, and are willing to help
the people in other parts of the coun-
try get this improvement if they will
treat US fairly in return, but they re-
alize that the Improvement of their
own rivers is vital to their prosperity
and believe that / represent the
sentiment of the people in the Miss
issippi valley when / say that we pro-
pose to see that this is done. The
time is coming, and it is not very far
distant, either, when the Mississippi
valley will control the nation. When
we set out to improve and utilize our
rivers, the pert paragraphs perpetu-
ated by the provincial-minded editors
of the metropolitan newspapers of the
east, will have about as much effect In
stopping us as a straw stack would in
damming the Mississippi in time of
flood"

than confess that she never had been
