creamery promoter. who is invari-
ably ready talker and in the most
glowing colors shows the advantage

the difficulties to be overcome, but
shows only the bright side Of the
creamery business. Promoters make

Somehow, I felt, didn't seem to get
on well as a detective without Ken

seemed to have watched over US. Was
1t because we were children-or-l
rejected that alternative.
Walking along leisurely l made my
way down to the shore. At a bridge
that crossed a rather turbulent stream
as 1t tumbled its way toward the sea.
l paused and looked at the water re-
flectively.
Suddenly my vagrant interest was
aroused. Up the stream l saw some
one struggling in the water and shout
ing for help as the current carried her
along, screaming.
It was Elaine. The hat and mus
tache OF her disguise were gone and
her beautiful Titan hair was spread
out on the water as it carried her now
this way, now that, while she struck
out with all her strength to keep
afioat. did not stop to think how or
why she was there. l swung over the
bridge rail, stripping of my coat
ready to dive. On she came with the
swift current to the bridge. AS she
approached dived. 1t was not a min
ute too soon. In her struggles she had
become thoroughly exhausted. She
was a good swimmer, but the light
with nature was unequal.
Preached her in a second or two and
took her hand. Half pulling, half shov-
ing her, l struck out for the shore.
We managed to make 1t together
where the current was not quite 30
strong, and climbed safely up rock.
Elaine sank down, choking and gasp
ing. not unconscious. but pretty much
all In and exhausted. l looked at her
in anazement.
"Why, where in the world did you
get those toEs?" queried.
Never mind my clothes.' Walter"
she gasped. Take me home for some
dry ones. I have a clue"
She rose, determined to shake on
the effects Of her recent plunge and
went toward the house. As helped
her she related breathlessly what she
had Just seen.

Elaine cautiously came from behind
q rock where she had hidden herself
and seeing no one apparently watch
ing, now, advanced until she stood d.
rectly under the trickle Of water which
had once been the falls. She gazed
into the cave, curiously uncertain
whether she dared to 60 in alone or
not.
The emissary jerked fiercely at the
lever as he saw Elaine.
Above the falls a dam had been
built and by system of levers the
gates could be operated 80 that the
water could be thrown over the falls
or diverted away, at will. As the man
pressed the lever the flood gates
worked quickly.
Elaine stood gazing eagerly into the
blackness OF the cave. Just then a
great volume of water from above
crashed down on her, with almost
crushing weight.
How she lived through 1t she never
knew. But. fortunately, she had not
gone quite far enough to get the full
force of the water. Still. the terrific
food easily overcame her.
She was swept. screaming. down the
stream.

In a number OF states these are al

over a dial marked of in miles from

above the figure "2."

10 the dial face.
He seized his glass and hurried to
the deck, leveling 1t at the shore and
leaning far over the rail in his eager
ness. As he swept the shore, he
stopped suddenly. There was house

aerial fastened to the chimney, but

WANT SANITY TO BRING SMILE
INSTEAD OF FROWN FOR XMAS

New York, Nov. 8. - Dolls with
smiling faces, instead of stern-vis-
aged tin soldiers, are being urged as
suitable Christmas presents for
youngsters this year by New York
women interested in stemming mill
taristic spirit.
Let us give smiles this Christ
mas instead of frowns," said Miss
Rose O'NeiIl, artist and suffrage
leader, today.
Generations and generations of
European children have been taught
to idolize toy soldiers. They have
played with soldiers from the cradle
up. Perhaps had they played with
smiling dolls instead of stern soldiers
all Europe would be smiling now in
stead of weeping.
1--WE, too, have been giving little
tin soldiers at Christmas time along
with other forceful things. If we
would only give toys of peace maybe
in the generations that are to come
there would be smiles for us instead
of war"

ANARcHIsM NOT RAPINE.

Some one said that anarchy means
rapine. 1 wish to deny that state
ment. Anarchy does not mean "a
pine in any sense of the word, but
the present system of industry is
based upon rapine and exploitation.
The present industrial system could
not exist a day If it were not for the
constant systematic robbery of the
workers.
Anarchy wants to get rid of polit-
ical and economic degeneracy, to es-
tablish a society in which private
property will disappear, to arrange
a society in which the voluntary
agreement of individual consumers
shall take the place of exploitation,
and government in which the temple
of science shall replace religion. AS
a result there would be no masters
and slaves, no rulers, no authority.
Every individual would be free, and
equality, fraternity and liberty would
prevail
Now you see that anarchy does
not mean rapine. To those who are
willing to study l gladly suggest the
following books: Peter Kropotkin's
"Anarchism; It's Ideal and Philoso-
ply" and "Anarchism and Modern
