Aim Of Agricultural
Clubs For the Boys

The principal objects to be at
tained through the promotion of
boys agricultural clubs in the
South, as defined by those in
charge of this work, are:
l. To encourage and train
boys along the lines of the ac-
tivities of country life.
2. To put into practice the
facts of scientific agriculture OBJ
tanned from books, bulletins, etc.
3. To bring the school life of
the boy into closer relationship
to his home life.
A. To assist in the develop
ment of the spirit of cooperation
in the family and in the COM
munity.
5. To dignity and magnify
the vocation of the farmer by
demonstrating the returns which
may be secured from farming
when it is properly conducted.
6. To enlarge the vision of
the boy and to give him definite
purposes at an important period
in his life.
4. To furnish to the aggressive
progressive rural school-teache1
an opportunity to vitalize the
work of the school by correlating
the teaching of agriculture with
actual practice.
The aim of the boys club work
is the same as that among men
viz, to secure the adoption of
better methods of farming and
greater yields at less cost. Many
of the boys in the clubs who be-
gin to study agriculture in this

 Daniel was awakened about 4 o,c1dck this morning by bad dreams and a choking at his throat. He suspected it was smoke and made an investi gat1on about the room but found nothinga and again retired A few moments later he was rudely glass. Upon arising this time he was confronted with a roaring fur mace which had just broke into his room. He rushed down stairs but was unable to open the saloon door. He shouted at passing man and asked him to run to police head quarters and send in an alarm. Off, cer Campana saw the man run and sent in alarm from box 13. This all done, Doyle shouted to the guests who were peacefully slumbering in their downy cots, totally unaware of the confagration in their midst. Line man John CoffeYi was somewhat late so thick with smoke that he threw up one of the windows to get a breath of fresh air, The hremen saw him and raised a ladder to his window by which he got out of the 1snoke-fi11ed building.
 Twenty-Five minutes after the de- partment arrived the flames were subdued Only slight damage was done to the building but the saloon was gutted- Doyle estimates his loss at s1.70o The fixtures and stock of the saloon are insured for s1.5oo in the Reading Fire Insurance company.

one of the Cinnamon picking up her
suitcase. Across the almost untrav-
eled road they forced her and down
on the stone dock, every footstep
logged 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, illsmelling 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 a scowl left, locking the
door and shutting along the passage
way to 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 it
open with nervous fin gers.

thoughts.
How far they had gone she did not
pay much attention, but she knew the
roads well. They had come to a fork,
and Johnson veered off to the left In
stinctively Elaine knew that the right
hand road was the more direct, and
she touched little signal that sum-
moned the driver.
You're taking the wrong road" she
called. go to the right"
II think you'll find the roads better
this way, Miss Dodge persisted
Johnson.
1t was, however, merely ruse on
his part to gain time and give some of
Wu's men an opportunity. For, as
the car approached the fork, two
roughnecks, hidden behind a rock in
the shrubbery, had been straining
their eyes down the road and at the
approach of the car had drawn back

rock in answer to Elaine's signal. It
was the chance the roughnecks want
ed. They leaped out from their shell
ter. Not another car or vehicle was
in sight. Quickly they skunk down the
road.
AS Elaine was becoming vexed at
Johnson's show of stubbornness, she
suddenly felt strong arms circling her,
while huge, very dirty hand pressed
with irresistible force over her mouth.
She struggled, but it was of no use.
They pinned her down to the floor
of the car. johnson drew the curtains
and leaped into his seat, from which
he had descended, leaving the engine

did my best to get down to the Battery
with the wireless telephone to meet
Kennedy and Brainard, but 1t was dark
before | got there.
AS hurried down to the dock saw
that they had already boarded the
revenue cutter and were waiting i'm
patiently. 1t was fairly stable craft,
They hauled me aboard and we cast
off. The wind blew in keenly from the
bay and we spun down the harbor,
keeping a sharp lookout for any sus.
picious craft.
Already WI Fang and 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 off signal flashlight 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.
Good" exclaimed WI with salts
faction, as he turned and picked his
way back up the dock.
On he went alone until he came to
one Of the deserted mansions of gen.
GRAFTON or two ago which lined the
shore at that point. There, in yard
beside it, stood Elaine's car.
where is the white girl?" asked
WI, calling Johnson.
"In the house. MASTER" replied the
subsequently.
wait for me here, then" nodded
WI.
Down in musty room in the base.
ment of the deserted house was Elaine.
She was neither bound nor gagged
In fact, there was 20 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 couple of Cinnamon.
WI Fang came in silently and moved
over close to her. He said not 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
dock. Cinnamon hastily unloaded it |
and started up to the house laden with |
The heavy tins.
AS WI stood before Elaine the Chi
namen carrying the dope tins entered |
and began piling them up in an old |
closet in the room. At last they fin.
shed putting it away.
"All is done, MASTER bowed one
who seemed to be leader.
WI nodded, then turned to Elaine.
Col" he Kissed, raising his finger
md pointing to the door.
Trembling, she obeyed, and WI
fang and the two toughs followed,
