The linseed oil in paint naturally
resists the drying effect of the atmos-
phere, and because of this it is nee.
essary to add something to the paint
mixture to overcome the resistance.
Drier is prepared for this purpose, its
function being to absorb oxygen rap
idly and convert the film into a hard.
insoluble product. During this proc
ess the linseed oil is changed into
linoxyn, and the drier continues its
oxidation until the paint film is'eventu-
ally destroyed
Drier is made by adding salts to a
certain amount of linseed oil which
is heated up to about 500 degrees f.

Gates of Brass.


1t was an hour beyond the norman
quitting time on the day of ultimatums
and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the small Of
fee force had gone home. and the
night squad of deputies had come TO
relieve the day guard. Griswold closed
the spare desk in the managers room
and twirled his chair to face Raymer

thing to eat" he suggested. There
will be nothing doing tonight

mo, not tonight. The trouble will
begin when we try to start up with
new force. Call 1t a weakness if you
like. but dread it, Kenneth"
Griswold's smile was a mere bar
ing of the teeth. That's all right. Ned;
you do the dreading and I'll do the
fighting" he said; adding: What
we've had today has merely whetted
my appetite"
The man of peace shook his head
dejectedly.
81 can't understand it," he protested.
up to last night l was calling you a
benevolent socialist, and my only fear
was that you might some time want
to reorganize things and turn the plant
into little section of Utopia. Now you
are o.1-heroding Herod on the other
side"
Griswold got up and crushed his soft
hat upon his head.
"Only fools and dead folk are denied
the privilege of, changing their minds"
he returned. Let's go up to the Win
nebago and feed"
The dinner to which they sat down
a little later was a small feast of ST.
lence. Though he had not betrayed it,
Griswo1d was fiercely impatient to get
away to Margery.
Twice, on his way to her after leav-
ing Raymer, he fancied he was fol-
lowed, and twice he stepped behind
the nearest shade-tree and frightened
his grip upon the thing in his right
hand pocket But both times the rear
ward sidewalk showed itself empty.
Since false alarms may have, for the
moment, all the shock of the real. he
found that his hands were trembling
when he came to unlatch the Grierson
gate, and it made him vindictively
self-scornful. Also, it gave him a
momentary glimpse into another and
hitherto unmeasured depth in the val
ley of STUN billings. In the passing of
the glimpse he was made to realize
that it is the coward who kills; and
kills because he is a coward.

utes after the boys disappearance,
Broffin came out and touched his hat
to the trim little person in the basket
seat.
You are Mr.. Matthew Broffin of the
Colburne Detective agency, are you
not?" she asked, sweetly.
Broffin took the privilege Of the &C.
cused and lied promptly.
Not that anybody ever heard of. 1

in the inquiring eyes.
She laughed softly. You see, it re-
solves itself into a question of veracity
between you and Mr. Andrew Gal
braith. You say you are not, and he
says you are. Which am / to believer"
Broffin did some pretty swift think
ing. There had been times when he
had fancied that Miss Grierson, rather
than Miss Farnham, might be the key
to his problem, There was one chance
in thousand that she might inadvert-
emily put the key into his hands if he
should play his cards skillfully, and he
took the chance.
you can call it a mistake of mine,
If you like he yielded; and she
nodded brightly
THAT is better; now we can go on
comfortably. Are you too busy to
take little commission from me?'
Maybe not What is it?" He was
looking for a trap, and would not com
NIT himself too broadly.
There are two things that / wish to
know definitely. Of course, you have
heard about the accident on the lake?
Mr.. GaIbraith is at our house, and he
is very ill-out of his head most of the
time He is continually trying to tell
someone whom he calls 'MacFarland'
to be careful. Do you know anyone of
that manner"
Again Broffin thought quickly. If he
should tell the plain truth. :.
Tell me one thing, Miss Grierson," he
said bluntly Am l doin' business
with you. or with your father?"
Most emphatically. with me. Mr..
Broffin-"
"AI right; everything goes. then
Mr.. Galbraith has been figurin' on buy
ing some pine lands up north. and he
has sent mcfarland up to Duluth to
verify the boundary records on the
county survey"
Il thought So" she affirmed And
then: THE records are all right, Mr.
Brofin; but the lands which MIR. Mac
Farland will be shown will not be the
lands which MIR. lGalbraith is talking
of buying / want evidence of this
in black and white. Can you telegraph
to someone in DULUTH
Broffin permitted himself a small
sigh of relief He thought he had seen
the trap; that she was going to try to
get Sim away from Wahaska-

Paul; a good safe man who will do

CLASSIC FLESRLINGS

annual conference meeting at Ep-
worth league park, owe the scanty
clothing worn by some of the mem
bers of the Hinshaw Opera company,
which staged" the opera of the Mi
kado. The debate came forth when
the committee on resolutions had
made a report commencing the pro-
gram committee of the Epworth as
sembly for "one Of the most enjoy
able and inspiring programs in the
history of the institution" This was
a signal for some of the leaguers to
take a shot at the tights worn by the
performers at the presentation of the
opera.
Some of the good Methodists. while
admitting that they enjoyed the Mi
kado" immensely. complained that
the flesh colored tights of Nanki Poo,
the hero, we're entirely out of place
at such a highly moral and religious
institution as the Epworth assembly.

ministers condemned the opera com

President Jones said that efforts were

leaving much feeling. l.. o. Jones
was reelected president of the Ep-
