CHAPTER VIII.

In his own room once more Wend
ham returned to the open easement
Already the miracle of dawn had be-
come the miracle of day. The dis
tant reaches of the plains no longer
unfolded roll upon roll of gossamer
blue, opal, and rose. Over the
newly Illuminated earth a cloud OF
tinsel seemed to float. brilliantly
outlining each fall and rise of the
rolling plain with an edge of keen
est crystal. The air seemed sudden
ly purified, sterilized of the dreams
of night, new-breathed from the
realms Of the upper ether. Wend-
ham drew long breaths of the elixir,
refreshing body and mind for the
days struggle. For the present he
felt things must take their course.
The terrible suspicion that beset his
heart must be verified, but sanely,
calmly, for the best result, above
all for the safety of the one woman.
What to him was Mrs. Lawdon clam
oring for the insignia Of her van
ity? Deep within himself he gave
thanks for his old conviction
"crime is disease, and somewhere in
the realm of science lies the cure"
But had the enemy made inroads so
far that conscience was dead? Would
one woman sacrifice the other? Sup
pose the net of evidence drew too
close about her?
He shuddered, but his royal spirit
rose to the hazard. Some operations
offend every aesthetic sense. Must
the physician fail in his sympathy
and attention? He was startled to
discover how he had accepted the
suggestion of his thought. That was
beyond reason. He would consider
how slight was the foundation upon
which his Imagination had reared
his conviction--it was q deduction
that he must verify before he might
consider 1t anything but the shadow
Of conjecture. He scored himself
roundly for his readiness to accept
such q damnable solution OF the
problem. He must be wise. quick Of
thought, slow of action. and his
time, his strength. the knowledge
that had borne him to such strange
deductions. all things must become
subservient to her necessities--but-
he must know.
In the gun room Mrs. Lawdon, her
husband. and their host were gath
cred In close formation about Col
Inns, the local police potentate. BY
the fireplace two detectives from the
city lounged, overobviously vt ease

ARGENTINA HAS IRON FIELD
Rich Discovery Made In Sand Dunes
Near the Coast

Iron has been discovered near Ne
cochea, in the southern part of the
province of Buenos Aires, Argentina,
in such quantities that government
officials say proper exploitation OF
the field will free the republic from
dependence on other countries for its
Iron supply.
The iron was found along the coast

SOME POINTERS FOR
HUMANE PEOPLE

| Here are a few reminders for
humane people:
I. Teach children kindness to ami
mails, and begin early. Don't en-
courage them to make collections of
butterflies or bird eggs. Teach them
to enjoy living animals.
2. Keep water where the family cat
can get it to. drink. Water the family
dog. Water the chickens.
8. When driving. use loose check
rein, and never use the overhead
check" Refuse to ride behind a
dccked horse. Report to the Humane
officer all cases of cruelty on the
street.
| 4. See that the family cat is taken
care of when the family moves. Never
leave the cat to suffer and to disturb
the neighbors.
| s. Discourage the use of feathers
on hats Of girls and women Don't
make the excuse that this isn't made
from feathers of wild birds" Even
Audubon, if alive now, couldn't tell
which feathers are which, after the
milliners have dyed and mixed them.
6. Discourage the use of furs. Fur
animals caught-in traps suffer terrible
agonies, sometimes for days before
I they die.
| Z. Refuse to keep any Gagged ami
NAL How can anyone take pleasure
in looking at bird or animal which
is perpetual prisoner?
s. Join the nearest Humane society
and circulate it's literature.
Kindness to Animals and People
So much Of childish cruelty is
thought1ess that the help to be OBJ
tanned from Bands of Mercy is ap-
parent. To make a boy understand
the misery that his air gun and his
fish-h hook may cause. to show the
cowardly cruelty in throwing stones
and in hurting innocent and defense
less creatures-this is what the Band
of Mercy may accomplish.
There is abundant testimony from
teachers who have introduced hu-
name teaching into their schools, to
the effect that the children are not
Only kinder to the lower animals, but
also more thoughtful and considerate
toward each other.
We want our boys and girls to be
strong and brave but In no way can
their strength and bravery be made
more certain than in protecting the
weak and helpless.-Friends and Help
ers.

BUYS THREE MINES

PRESCOTT, Ariz., June 23.-Pre-
paratory to the establishment of a
smelter here, G. G. Lemmons of Lon
don, England, has taken over three
well known mines in the Prescott dis
trict. The properties recently as
quired by Lemmons include the Cot
tonwood group of claims on Groom
creek, the Buster property in the
Bradshaw mountains and the Great
Belcher on Big Bug creek. The mines
were bought, it is stated. to assure
permanent and extensive ore supply
for the smelling works Lemmons
leaves shortly for London to close up
the details for the new smelling
plant.

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT

Here is something you hadn't
next president of the United States
Robert Lansing. But it isn't neces-
sary to get excited about it. It's a
fact, but a fact that needn't upset
the campaign plans of any presiden-
tial candidate. The secretary Of state
isn't in politics .at all, and isn't likely
it be. No convention is going to
nominate him. He isn't going to be
elected. Never the less he'll be the
next president, and this is the way of
it A law enacted in 1885 provides
that when the President--and Vice

executive office, the secretary Of state
shall act as president. President Will

1917. That is Sunday. It's contrary
to. PRECEDENT, although not illegal to
hold an Inauguration on Sunday. 1t
is planned, therefore, to have it on
Monday, March 5. And SO for one
day Secretary Lansing will be presi-
dent. He will be empowered to occu-
py the White House If he chooses,
issue pardons, command the army and
navy, and even to ride to the capital
as the outgoing president in the in
auguration ceremonies. It will be the
first time a Secretary Of State has
ever had such an honor, and the
second time the office has ever been
held by anyone except the president
