l CHAPTER XXIII
Exodus

In the Yellowstone National park there is an apparently bottomless pit which can be instantly transformed in to spouting, roaring Vesuvius of boil ing water by the simple expedient of dropping bar of soap into it.
 The Spotlight went to press at three o'clock. By the earliest graying of dawn, and long before the sun had shown itself above the eastern Timan- yonis, Brouillard's bar of soap was melting and the Mirapolitan under depths were beginning to heave. Like wildfire, the news spread from lip to lip and street to street. and by sunrise the geyser was retching and vomiting. belching debris of cries and maledic- tions, and pouring excited and riotous crowds into Chigringo avenue.
 Most naturally, the Spotlight office Ian suffered loss. though it was incon- siderable At the battering down of the doors the angry mob found itself confronting the young reclamation service chief and four members of his staff, all armed Brouillard spoke briefly and to the point.
 T am the man who wrote that ar ticle you've been reading. and Mir liar Ian printed it as a matter of news. If you have anything to say to me you know where to find me. Now, move on and let MT. Harlan's property alone or somebody will get hurt"
 Nobody stayed to press the argu- ment at the moment. An early morn ing mob is proverbally incoherent and incohesive; and. besides. loaded Win chesters In the hands of five deter mined men are apt to have an elo- quence which is more or less con- vincing.
 But with the opening of business the geyser spouted again. The exchanges were mobbed by eager sellers, each frenzied struggler hoping against hope that he might find someone simple enough to buy. At ten o'clock the bank closed d-eTemporarily. the placard mo- tice said But there were plenty to be-

set in. Two full, trains went east this forenoon, and two more are scheduled for this afternoon if the railroad peo- pie can get the cars here"
 'Good-by. little girl. good-by.' hummed Grislow, entering in time to hear the report of the flight.
 But Leshington was shaking his big head moodily Laugh about it if you can, but it's no joke" he growled When the froth is blown away and the bubbles quit rising, there are going to be some mighty bitter settings left in the bottom of the stein."
 You're right, Leshington," said Harlan, gravely What we're seeing now is only the shocked surprise of it as when man says 'Oueh!' before he realizes that the dog which has bit ten him has a well-developed case of rabies. We'll come to the hydrophobic Stage later on"
 By nightfall of this first day the edi- tors ominous prophecy seemed about to reach it's fulfillment. The avenue
  clamor was the roar of mob infuri- ated. Brouillard and Leshington had just returned from posting company of the workmen guard at the mixers and crushers, when Grislow, who had been scouting on the avenue, came in. Harmless enough yet, she reported. Its only some more of the getaway that Harlan was describing. Just the same, it's something awful People are fairly climbing over one another on the road up the hill to the station with no possible hope of getting a train before some time tomorrow Teamsters are charging twenty-five dollars load for moving stuff that won't find cars for week, and they're scarce at the price,"
 Leshingtop, who was not normally a profane man, opened his mouth and said things
 1f the Cartwright crowd had one man in it with single idea beyond saving his own miserable stake!" he stormed. What are the spell binders doing, Grizzy?"
 The Photographer grinned. "Cort- wright and a chosen few left this aft ernoon, hotfoot, for Washington, to get the government to interfere That s the story they'd like to have the people believe. But the fact is, they ran away from Judge Lynch"
 Yes; think I see 'em coming back not" snOrted the first assistant. Then to Brouillard: That puts it up to us from this out Is there anything we can do?"
 Brouillard shook his head. ''I don't want to stop the retreat I've heard from President Ford. The entire west tern division will hustle the business of emptying the town, and the quicker it is done the sooner it will be over"
 For a tumultuous week the flight from the doomed city went on, and the overtaxed single-track railroad wrought miracles of transportation. Not until the second week did the idea of mate rial salvage take root, but. once start cd, it grew like Jonahs gourd Hun dreds of wrecking crews were formed. Plants were emptied. and the ma chinery was shipped as it stood. Houses and business blocks were gutted of everything that could be carried off and crowded into freight cars. And

 lieve that it would never open again.
 By noon the trading panic had ex- hausted itself little, though the lobby and cafe of the Metropole were crowd ed, and anxious groups quickly formed around any nucleus of rumor or gossip in the streets.
 Between one and two o'clock, while Brouillard, Leshington and Anson were hastily eating luncheon sent over to the mapping room from Bongras, liar Ian drifted in.
 Spill your news" commanded Lesh- ngton grufIly. Whats doing, and who's doing it?"
 Nobody, and nothing much said Harlan, answering the two queries as one The town is falling apart like bunch of sand and the getaway has

Is Baseball
 Worth While :?

That anything that ls worth having is worth working for k proverh that may well be borne Tn mind by those upon whom has fallen the brunt of the work and worry incident to. the baseball season just closed True. baseball has been expensive. and has entailed in addition to the heavy fjnan- clal burden. the sacrificing of personal interests. energy and convenience on the part of q few But It has been worte while In the first place. 1t has been a big advertisement for the town, and any sort of judicious advertising is an investment that is worth while. Ne one can estimate how far the results of such advertisement may reach and anyone who attempts to discredit lt only shows his ignorance of the meth ods by which the world Is doing bust ness today.
 Again, baseball in an organized league is a valuable means of arousing community spirit, community loyalty and community pride And here again. anything which draws individuals of a community together and binds them together in d common interest with q common enthusiasm is very distinctly worth while
 Last and least but what to many may seem of the most importance, js the fact that as a sport, pastime, or recreation the ball games here this summer have afforded great deal of pleasure to a number of individuals and in few cases at least have made the season 90 interesting and pleasant that summer trips were abandoned in favor of staying at home.
 We're for baseball for Il strong and want here to give expression to the hope that when another season rolls round. We will be fortunate enough to again have men big enough, public spirited enough and far ghted enough to take hold and give us another pen napt winning team.

The Everybody Revival.

Shall We have genuine revival of religion in pcrmott Is the question that ought to be uppermost in everybody s mind at this time. Some may think that | k unnecessary. but the mere fact of their thinking that way makes the need all the more imperative
 Revivas of religion have taken place and been carried to successful issue under the guidance and hy the help of Jehovah from man earliest history on down 10 the present The attitude of people toward religion k the moral and business thermometer of the communi- ty. for religion arouses the morals and the latent aspirations of people and creates q demand and desire for better things The great Foreign Missionary enterprise of the Christian Church to- day k an example as well as a proof positive of this statement. and humani- ty Is the same wherever it ls found
 There Is not q single person in Der mott who would lower himself to the level of the beast by denying the eNs istance of that which distinguishes man from the beast the human immortal soul Every enlightened person be lieves in the immortality of the soul and if the soul be immortal then it's immortality must be spent somewhere and there are only two states of future existance known to man. heaven and hell Where will you and all the rest m permott spend eternity
 \ genuine revival will cause people to think upon their ways and make an effort to secure the assurance of the best and most glorious future exist ance Sc. then. a1 eternity Is in the question. common sense Impel- every one. man or woman. in Dermott to he tremendously interested in a genuine revival of religion in our town. No community j- void of knockers who get out their hammers and go to work on every movement We rather eN= pect this in genuine revival because the devil Is not dead and he uses men men and women IS his tools to accom- plish his purposes This too is a repeti- ton of history but the Lord of hosts still lives and rules and If God people get together in earnest prayer and q mighty effort to win bermott for Jesus Christ Il can and will he done
 Let all the Christian people bury their dcnomlnatonal differences and join hearts and hands d. unit in Il mighty effort to arouse the lukeWarm and indifferent Christians and church members in town and lead a host ot souls to Christ The time has come for Us to stop quihbling over minor diff fcrences while souls are going to hell without hope and without Christ and God Is holding Us individually respousi b.e Let Us stand upon the broad pruci pl, of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and get busy.

SIT Paws To Advertise.

1t In generally conceded that Roi
Cooper Morgue and Walter Hackett's
fares 1T Pays to Advertise" which is
now In Its second month at the Garrick
Theatre, Philadelphia, is one of the best
plays seen on the American stage in
many seasons.
'Tt Pays to Advertise presents the
very essence of American spirit, Ameri-
can humor and American character.
II you saw the piece translated into
French, German or any other language,
there would be no installing its origin
and certainly no more side-splittine
farce has been concocted here.
Az matter Of fact ut Pays to Ad.
vertise" Is one Of those plays that pro.
woke real breath bereaving mirth. The
sort that makes you throw your head
back until 1t rests on the back of your
chair and laugh to your hearts content.
1t Is rarely, well written and well
acted, and like all the best piecs of its
kind, 1t is founded on an original idea,
which we will not disclose for fear OF
spelling the enjoyment of prospective
patrons. 1t is enough to say that if you
see 1T Pays to Advertise" and don't
laugh heartier than you have for years,
there's an obstruction in your DISPOSE
ton that the family doctor ought to
know about.
Seeing st Pays to Advertise" fur
nishes buoyancy that finds expression
in such hearty laughter, besides inspir.
ing determination to emulate the ex.
ample of the young man in the play
who, deciding to enter upon business
career, finds success through the medi.
um of publicity campaign that en-
braces law, printers ink and the SOAP
industry mixed in such admirable pro.
portions as to make for continuous mer-
riment throughout its presentation.

cess that when finally one of the
great foreign powers thirsting for the
wealth of America, makes war sud-
denly upon us, our coast defenses are
outraged and undermined, our feet
is dispersed and our army, unequipped
with guns of sufficient caliber to de-
stroy those of the enemy, is cut to
pieces by the hostile artillery.
There follows scene after scene of
staggering power, in which the mil
lions of people in New York flee like
sheep before the great guns of the
enemy's feet, and the tall buildings
of Manhattan crumble and fall into
the streets, spreading terror and death
for blocks upon blocks filed with the
maddened people.
The American feet, battling heroi-

sunk off the coast of New Jersey in

the district which has New York for
its centre at the end of a 200 mile

land cities, MIS-. Vandergriff and her
two daughters-their father having
been executed by firing squad on a
charge of ''sniping preferred against
him by spy-dee to their country
house up the Hudson.
They are overtaken by the van
guard of the enemy on the way and
are made the personal captives of the
commander and his staff.
The commander takes up his head
quarters in an abandoned village, near
Tarrytown, and the mother and her
two beautiful daughters are locked in
a room, it being made clear to them
that, after the commander and his
officers have dined and wined, they
will be called upon to pay with their
honor the price of the invasion,
against which their country had not
protected them.
While locked in the room Mrs,
Vandergriff discovers that one of her
daughters has hidden revolver in
her dress. She takes the revolver,
and while the despoilers are reveling
without, shoots her two daughters
dead and falls on their 1ifeless bodies
