k Is, 1899, that young Sir
% Andrew Cheyne was
80 found dead of gun
shot wound in the grounds of
Airlie Hall, his house in Surrey.
/ was myself especially inter
ested in the case, as l was stay
ing at a cottage within three miles
of the Hall at the time. Al the
gossip came to us first hand. By
breakfast we learned of his death.
An hour later came the rumOr of
the murder, and the fact that an
arrest had been made. A man
had been caught running from the
spot where the body lay.
My host was bachelor and a
brother artist. His little place was
bound by no conventions. Go or
come, but don't trouble to ex-
plain-such was the custom. He
was busy that morning, as l knew,
SO l appropriated his bicycle and
set off through the lanes to visit
the scene of the tragedy.

Ared yards back from the main
road. The drive, framed in wide
stretches of tuft, and thanked by
q triple avenue of chestnuts, ran
in a straight line from the great
porch to the entrance gates of
twisted iron. Peering through the
bars were a dozen villagers. With
in, his hand upon the lock, stood
a policeman, massive, red-faced,
pOmpous with his present impor-
lance.
"May I come inn" I asked
politely.
"You may not" he said quite
briefly.

hesitated, and drew it out empty.
It was too public a place for cor

only been with me, I thought
and, so thinking, came by an idea.
Even a rural policeman would know t
famous detectives name.

The servant who answered my mod,

either side of it was a dense growth of
feathery reeds, hiding the lake behind
their rustling walls.
"What cottage is that ?" asked
Peace, pointing a finger.
"When he was young man, Sir
William, that was Sir Andrews uncle,
used to give lunches and teas there IN
the summer MONTHS" said the police
man. "But the place has been shut
up for a long time now, sir. No one

At the end of terrace we found
a policeman waiting. He touched
his helmet to the inspector, and,
after a few words with him, led
the way down some moss-grOwn

X pay, IN Dollars and Ce,1ts?' the Cynic may
IL inquire
From even that cold-booded standpoint we may
answer ITO the growing youth of this country YES
it HAS paid even in material Success.
Witness the Goodrich growth from a very small
Acorn indeed to the 30 Square ACRES Floor Space
curing Is Square ACRES of WndowGlass alone to light
these Goodrich Factory buildings.
Witness the Tire Output of 1915 which, if the
Tires were placed flat the ground would reach
more than 400 Allesfrom New York City to Omaha,
although Tires only of the 267 lines of Rubber
Goods made by Goodrich.
Witness the present Staff of 1S,147 People, who
produce the l20000000 pounds of Rubber Goods manu-
featured marketed and shipped, during the year, by
Freg, from this Goodrich Factory in addition to the
100000 pounds manufactured and shipped by EXPRESS
from same Factory during same period.
Contrast this Goodrich Rubber Goods Output, with
the total Imports of Crude Rubber into the entire United
States during 9l5-vz-172 o6S, 42S Pounds,-and the
total WORLD Consumption of Crude-Rubber for same
year,-viz-1 900 Tons, or 284 100000 pounds!

HILO, Dec. 17.-When Contractor
J.r6 Foss, Jr.. finished up the con-
crete road. to Kuhio, bay wharf, the
job was not finally accepted, as it was
stated that there were so many
bumps" at the expansion joints that
something would have to be done to
fix matters in better shape. The gov
ernor, before paying Foss what was
due him on the contract, had the con,
tractor file bond for $1,000. which
made it imperative for him to take
the bumps" out of the new road at
any time within one year of the pay
ment of the balance of the money for
the contract, if called upon to do so
by the harbor commissioners or the
county of Hawaii. That was the in
tent of the bond, it is claimed, but
County Attorney Beers now says that
the bond was improperly worded and
that there is nothing to be done in
the matter. at any rate not till jan
uary 20, 1917.
Beers had been requested by the
Hawaii board of supervisors. to take
steps to recover on Foss' bond for
$1,000 Beers looked into the matter
and the first thing he discovered was
that nothing can be done until Janu-
airy 20, 1917 Then he studied the
bond and found that while in the pre-
ample of the document it was stated
that the riages at the. expansion Joints
had to be leyeled off if so desired by
the harbor commissioners or the coun-
ty officials. in the main body of the
bond and in what is called the pro-
visions of the instrument, the only
thing said is that if the concrete or
asphalt peels. or ravels. Foss will
have to remedy the matter. There is
not word about leyeling pff expan-
sion joints in the provisions of the

where the country and everybody else

GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
Much Of the Advancement Of the
World May Be Traced to Those
PuonaciousIy Inclined.

Most of us love trouble-that is
most of the human race. Man cannot
remain contentedly out of trouble fol
any length Of time, 1t seems. And II
you doubt the statement, all you have
to do is to remember the numerous in
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately "butted
into" something that was not your af-
fair.
Take the matter of politics, II you
please. Half Of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, lot of the people mixed up
In politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose In this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For 1t really makes little
difference to the average man who is
elected; indeed the average man takes
an interest In politics not because he
thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public, but because he wants a
fight.
OF course all of us like to flatter our
selves that we are doing something for
the nation or the country or a group
of people. But the truth is most of
US are doing nothing of the kind.
But, did you know that most of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak-
ers, and not from the peacemakers?-
