81 am sorry, madam" he said quiet
ly, "but shall have to ask you to
climb up this. 1t is the only safe way
out" He laid one hand gently on her
arm.
Now, Ruth was California bred, with
all the prejudices for and against the
Chinaman. She screamed. At that in
slant there was a crash of a shattered
door in the distance and the sound of
men talking in excited tones.
You must come" said Sing Wah.
Il will take you to place of safety.
All l ask of you is to follow me and
be silent"
His earnestness was unmistakable,
and Ruth yielded. A moment later
they both stood on small landing
place above the cylindrical room. Sing
Wah carefully drew up the ladder and
coiled it again on the wooden trigger
that had released it. Then he led the
way down a dark passage to stairs lit
by mere glimmer of gas. Ruth drew
back, but he indicated that she must
go on. Even as she obeyed his impe-
rious gesture there rang out the muf-
fed clangor of revolver shots. Then
again came the sound of doors yielding
to violence and the shouts of wrathful
men.
Sing Wah hurried her on. down
steps, along shadowy passageways and

some other fellows uses tobacco in an
incorporate way.
They say that if men smoke tobac-
co. then boys will smoke tobacco Sd
that this will ruin the boys.
What answer will the farmers have
to that so-called argument?
We say "so-called" argument be-
cause it isn't really an argument at
all. The idea that men must not act
like men for fear that boys will get
hurt trying to act like men is a piece
of sissyhed tommyrot.
According to that doctrine, an
active man must not ride horse for
fear that a boy or a clumsy man
might fall off OF horse.
A sensible man couldn't have a
sharp knife for fear that boy might
get hold of it and cut finger, or that
a fool man might get hold OF it and
cut somebody's arm off.
A healthy man couldn't eat little
piece of hot mince pie, because mince
pie might make the baby sick or may
give collie to a man who had dyspep-
STA.
In a word, such a doctrine would
force grown people to act like child
rem and weaklings for fear that child
rem and weaklings might try to act
like grown people.
The right idea is to make the child
rem and wealkings behave themselves
properly.
If the reform element can not con-
troll the children and the weaklings,
what do they expect to do with strong
men with hair on their chests?-I'

under low arches till she felt sudden
cool. salt breath ON her face At her
feet she saw the glimmer of water and
a boat riding to long painter Quick
ly and silently Sing Wah drew the lit
tie craft alongside and motioned to her
to get in.
BY this time the tumult had died
down to a mere muttering of shots
with an occasional yell, muftled by
walls and the distance. She stared
fearfully about her, at the great arches
of dripping brick overhead, at the little
landing under foot, at the dark vista
of the tunnel through which the water
streamed in a swishing tide. She drew
back and let her voice out in one long,
fororn scream, the pent up agony of
many hours, her final call for help
against the dark powers that had seiz-
ed upon her.
With swift strength Sing Wah reach
ed out his sinewy arms, raised her up
and seated her in the stern of the boat.
A moment later he had cast of the
painter and shipped the oars. The boat
slipped silently away on the current
into the murk.
After some talk between the officers
John Dorr was Informed that If he
liked they would enter Sing Wah's
and make thorough search.
Not that | think We'll find anything
or anybody" said one of the police
men, but it never does any harm to
take lOok-see through Sing Wah's,
and the lieutenant is coming down
now to take charge"
A moment later that officer arrived,
and John Dorr made his tale as con.
vincing MS possible. The lieutenant
seemed dubious.
1T isn't like the old rascal to run
his head into danger that way he In
sisted. 81 think you are ON the wrong
trail. Who did you say was the man
who did all thisH"
"Wilkerson-H Harry Wilkerson," John
answered bitterly.

CHASE OF HOG IS
CAUSE OF INJURY
FARMER NEAR MUScATINE Is Sc.
vERELY HURT WHILE HUNT.
ING PoRkER.

Muscatine. Sept. 25.--An attempt to
catch hog which escaped from the
hog lot on his farm west OF this city
brought about injuries to Elmer Chap
man, residing eight miles west of this

arm. The accident Is one OF the most
unusual ever recorded in the county.

the animal In such a manner as ia. turn
him back toward the lot. In doing 80

FIRE PREVENTION.

Governor Clarke has called upon the
citizens of the state to observe Oc-
tober 9 as Fire Prevention day
throughout the state. On this day the
subject of averting losses by fire Is to
be given serious attention in the hope
that the great losses that accrue to
the public by reason of preventable
fires, may be materially decreased.
in all probability the city authorities
will emphasize the governors procla-
nation with one of their own. The
citizens will be asked to clean up the
rubbish piles, in their yards and alleys
and to inspect their premises with an
eye to detecting any undue risks and
eliminating them.
= When the governor has made his
proclamation and the city authorities
have seconded the motion, it then rests
upon the citizens to make Fire Proven
ton day of real worth. If even one Of
them does something toward making
his premises more secure against fire,
then something has been accomplish
ed; if many. join the movement, much
will be accomplished and If the city
as a whole takes it up, the result Will
be far reaching indeed.
The past record of fire losses has
much to do with determining insur-
ance rates. Cities where the losses
have been heavy and where little is
done in the way of prevention OF fires,
find that their insurance rates are very
high. The people who want protection
against fire must pay the bill. Cities
which can show few fire losses OF the
preventable kind, have low rates OF
insurance and the people reap the
benefit of their carefulness.
Regardless of how Ottumwa's fire
insurance rates compare with those In
other cities in Iowa, the fact remains
that an intelligent effort on the part
of the people toward fire prevention,
would result in material reduction of
these charges.
Fire Prevention day in Iowa Is Oc-
tober 9. Do something now so that
on that day, you can say you have
aided in making the city more impervl-
GUS to fire.
