door. But the sheriff caught the young
~engineman and held him back. Helen
had already passed through the door
way and amid the smoke and flame
saw Spike, chained to the floor, strug-
Cling with superhuman strength to
tear loose from his shackles.
Outside, Storm, hurting off the
hands of the restraining sheriff, IA
in after Helen. He found her vainly
endeavoring to release Spike. The
heavy black smoke h'llowing from the

Storm, half choked, hurried from the
burning room into the street.
Firemen coming up took charge of
the conflagration. But the sheriff de.
tanned Spike again, telling him he was
a prisoner.
In Seagrue's room, not far away,
Doctor Torpy was examining Ellis
head. He discovered almost at once
that the foreman had not been shot at
all.
You're not hurt" said the doctor,
laughing. But they're trying to hang
n of your men down street right now
for shooting you. Better notify your
gang to call things off," The doctor
turned to the window. threw up the
sash and called out into the street.
The sheriff, below, was turning
Spike over to a deputy when. hearing
his name called, he looked UP and
saw Torpy at the window. The doctor
beckoned. Bring that man up here,
sheriff." he cried

Spike, Helen, Etcrm and Rhinelander.
Bill sheepishly submitted to being

showed to the sheriff the wound made
on his temple by the awning hook.
There was nothing to do but release
Spike with apologies which the latter
received with a dry grunt.

Seagrue, knowing the sheriff was
his friend, boldly denied all knowledge
of the book. These people," he point

Spike smiled grimly as the sheriff
looked from one to the other of the
c~ontending parties and listened to the
angry accusations. The bald-headed
Honvict drew from his blouse the two
sheets missing from the book Of deeds
and quietly handed them to Rkineland.

Faraday's Inspiration andlthe
Story Of a Rich Mans Son

Probably no one will ever he able TO
determine how large q part chance plays
in the lives Of men. especiaily>of the
great, Irresistible destiny may be back
Of events that seem pivotal; but some-
times 1t does not seem so.
We have been reading an enchanting
story as to how the great disooyerer
Faraday was started on his life's work
by chance contact with a volume that
fired his youthful zeal for larger knowi-
edge. The book was the last which one
would pick out to stir the imagina ton
of boy, none other than q volume of an
old encyclopedia that needed the atten-
ton of the bookbinder.
To the bookbinder 1t goes and falls
into the hands of this young Michael
Faraday. Nothing very fateful about
that. 1t would seem. The lad Ii London,
born, OF Yorkshire parents, Of rather
humble origin. His father was black
smith. They are very poor. and by the
time Michael is IA he 10 apprenticed for
q term of years to a small bookbinder.
Destiny may well have been working in
the restless. inquisitive mind of this
youngster, but II had to await Its hour.
The hour came when the lad found in
his hands an old Encyclopedia Britain
MICA, containing long article bearing
the magic word electricity" 1t was not
the great Britannica of modern days,
sweeping the whole field of human knowl-
edge in its imposing volumes; but one
Of the early editions of century or
more ago-possibly the first volume edi-
tion-but nevertheless a work which In
that day must have seemed perhaps more
wonderful than the present-dsy great
eleventh edition seems to us now, wheh
there are so many enticements and
things to think about.
Almost Nothing Known Then.
BY the light OF a fiickering candle he
devours its pages, and the die is cast.
When Faraday read this article the
only sources Of electricity known were
those known to Sir Issac Newton, that
Is. the various electrical machines"
The Washington herald., 1916-01-20

At the breakfast table this morning a
lady said:
why, this paper looks as though 1t
had been scorched. Are those metal plate
things they print from hot enough to do
that?''
For the benefit of the lady and her
5o,0oo.0oo sisters I will enlighten her. 1t
Is on account of the war.
The Hight brown Is the natural color

facturers have run out or are rapidly

ing purposes, they can no longer produce

many dyestuffs that before the war were
imported from Germany. None is conf
ing in now, and the stock on hand Is
about exhausted. Hence newspapers
printed on bTownish paper.
The statement put out by the De-
partment Of Commerce to the effect that
there is plenty Of dyestun in this country
and a big stock on hand Is all bunk

the aid of Faraday's discovery to devise
the nrst electric Hight which would burn
steadily for hours or days or years.
So much for this Nineteenth Century

10 the story of . poor boy and what q
role the right book at the right time may
play in his life IL he has the divine fire
burning In his soul. But books. and the
same sort of booka-even an Encylcopedia
may play an almost equal part In the
more humdrum and less ooiored lives OF
the ordinary folk Of our own day.
The Rich Man's Son.
A distinguished editor told recently OF
having come across q young man who by
virtue of his fathers industry has been
left multi-millionaire. He was not a
genius, not another Faraday. He had
gone through school much In the fashion
that many OF our rich mems sons DO,
caring little and learning less. When he
came into the possession of his property
he was quite content to let the executors
run the estate while he idled away his
days
Then one day when he complained to
the editor that he seemed to have no
place In the world. this exasperated man
said. Heavens, IL you are not born to
q liking for law or literature or any of
the professions, why not take UP with
good business. and build IL up and
make a success of 1t in the same fash
ion that your father did. That is a
worthy work. and as worthy as any
other" When the young man replied
he knew no trade or business. and had
no special knowledge. the editor said. 81
will make you a. present of a set of
volumes which ought TO set you going
somewhere or somehow: and II you can
not find anything In them that interests
you, you can make UP your mind you
are not worth while"
The set of volumes was the new elev-
enth edition of the same work which
had inspired Faraday-the Encyclopedias
Britannica. Sometime passed before the
editor and his protege met again, and
when they did, he found his idle young
man transformed into the driving head
Of big business, and what the young
man told him was that he had done Just
as the editor had suggested. He had
gone systematically through this great
work until finally he had come upon an
article which had aroused his interest

Plans Demonstration in Court
In FAVOR of an Oregon Law

That Is the burden of Mr.. Hutton
message, and he Is arranging for. or
ganized demonstrations of public back
ing for enforcement, to be made in the
courtroom when the first half dozen trials
come up in each county or in the local
community, since cases under the pro-
hibition law may come up in any court,
from justice court to circuit court
OF course, now that the secret is out,
there will be countless claims of prior
discovery, history would seem to afford
some notable instances Of cases in which
court-rooms have been packed with
mobs bent on swaying judge and jury to
their side. But 1t can probably be dem
onstrated that these were instances In
which the unregenerate elements of the
community gathered together to secure
their own selfish evil ends. Mr.. Hutton,
on the contrary, proposes the organiza-
tion of the truly righteous for the pur-
pose of showing that it will be healthier
for all officially concerned, to follow the
wishes of the courtroom audience c'mob'
would seem the wrong term in such con-
nection), the law and the evidence to
the contrary notwithstanding. But one
case occurs to the memory in which the
better elements have exerted their
power in such a way. This was where
the best citizens of a Southern city
somewhat spontaneously crowded a
courtroom, day after day, demanding
the blood of prisoner In the dock, In
which demand they were entirely sue
cessful- For though, after conviction
sentence of death was commuted by a
governor who was swayed by old-fash-
ioned notions of the the law and the con-
duct of courts, the object of their wrath
was ultimately seized and expeditiously
ynched.
And this be It observed was a murder,
not liquor case, though occurring In
prohibition State. So Mr.. Hutton's right
of invention, se-to speak, should be ac-
knowledged.
Better an hour Of justice than a CEN
tury Of prayer" say the Mohammedans.
How many centuries Of useless prayer
will be saved when Mr.. Hutton's scheme
gets in full working order?
