"Exactly! You know, Carney, how
important it is that we should get into
this war;"
"And war means orders that would
bring us a prosperity such as the

had heard and dropped the note to
Dorothy. Dorothy was also mystifed,
but she decided to take chance and
sent an unsigned note to Tom advising
him to see what there was to be dis
covered at the hop joint at the address
given by Dunn.
What Dunn had actually told Stone
was the address of the place where
Bill Bean. the eccentric and half mad
inventor, was usually to be found. 1t
was hang out of his. it was eX-
planned
Stone and Carney meanwhile had
seen Bean and concluded certain ar
rangements with him. He had invent.
ed wireless transmitter of eXtraordi-
nary power. so diminutive that it was
capable of being carried in waistcoat
pocket.
1T looks good to me-" said Stone
when Bean at Carney's request had
explained the principle of his inven-
ton. II think it's safe to try it out to-
night, Carney"
You understand" asked Carney
I'VE want you to give us a convincing
demonstration. If it is satisfactory
we stand prepared tel pay you 100000
in yearly installmenE Of $4,000 for
the rights to your inykntion."

'1d do anything for that" said tie

Ia 90 anything for that" said the
Bean.
"Fhen give me two Of your prepared
magnets said Carney, land tonight at
s o'clock go to certain dock-I have
written down the location for YOU
and set your current to work.
Why at the dock?" asked Bean.
II could do it from here
Because you are to wait for sig
nal; something might go wrong with
our plans. From the dock YOU will
see small boat. Three flashes of an
electric torch will tell you to go ahead"
All right" said Bean.
Carney believed in doing things him
self; he took no chances with helpers
who might fail him. Therefore he pre-
pared two packages of explosives with
good deal of care, attaching to their
Illuminating caps by means of fine
wire the magnets Bean had given him.
One Of these packages he left with
Mrs. Larnigan, Bruce's mother. He un-
derstood that Tom was to return home
a little before 8 O'clock and asked her
to give him the package as soon as he
returned. This, entirely unsuspicious,
she promised to do. The other package
Carney meant to fasten to the stern of
the interned warship as she lay at her
anchorage.
Bean had obtained some money in
advance upon his promise neither to
drink nor to visit hop joint until he
had completed his work. But he could
not resist the temptation, and by the

Once in the joint Bean grew boast

Hints for the Housewife

For dinner at 6 o'clock or any other hour after sunset, it is better to use a white tablecloth rather than centerpiece and doilies. The main reason for this aside from the fact that convention has accepted it, is that lights reflect better from a beautiful gleaming cloth than from polished table set with doilies and who does not know that cheerful, well-lit dinner table adds greatly to the attractiveness of the occasion-- though there are many who prefer subdued effects with shaded candles but this idea can be followed out at luncheon.

Baptist Church Announcements

Ddpetst SHuTCH announcements
 Despite the indictment weather, Sun day was the best day in the history of the Flagstaff Baptist church. Sunday school was we'll attended considering the day. The business session of the church that followed was charming in spirit and hopeful in outlook. Five new members were received into the fellowship of the church. There are number of outstanding Baptists in the community who will doubtless affiliate with us soon. Our ambition is to double the present membership of the church before the state conven- tion convenes in April. It seems now that we can, by far, exceed our ambi- ton. No community in the state offers better inducements for christian work than does Flagstaff. We should have a half dozen working pastors shep- herding the people and looking after the interests of the Kingdom rather than the present depleted force over whelmed with the magnitude of the job.
 As Baptists we are here to serve the needy interest of humanity in deepening and quickening the religious life and extending the kingdom of righteousness according to the truth as it is in Jesus Christ. If the Master seeing the harvest was truly great and the laborers few, sent forth the Seventy, who would dare in His name challenge the propriety of any to serve when there is great need. Minds and hearts narrowed by the selfish ness of creed, looking out through their own little doorway, upon the great growing Kingdom of God, might because of jealous ambition, want the serving hand withdrawn. But the Master would say, in the spirit of our blood purchased religious liberty and freedom, Forbid him not. For he that is not against us is on our part"
 Our Sunday school meets every Lordsday morning at nine forty-five. The Pastor will be in Winslow Sunday and here again on Jan. 30.
 We cordially invite those who are attending church elsewhere to worship with us.

BISHOP SUMNER OF GREAT
 PROMINENCE IN CHURCH

The Rt. Rev. Walter T. Sumner, Bishop of Oregon, will be the guest of the Rev. Mir. Chinn at the Episcopal Rectory Saturday and Sunday. The Bishop is former resident of Flag staff, having been connected with the A. l.. & T. Co.,, about fifteen years ago.

Among the many public offices which he holds these are a few:
 Member of the Chicago Board of Education.
 First vice-president of the Juvenile Protection Association.
 Chairman of the General Advisory Committee on the United Charities.
 President of the Wendell Phillips Social Settlement for Colored People.
 Member of the Advisory Committee of the Citizens Heath Association.
 State Representative in the Inter national Prison Congress.
 Member of the Advisory Board of the Boy Scouts of America.
 Bishop Sumner will give an address at the Episcopal church Sunday at II a. m. to which the public is cordially invited.

BISHOP WALTER T. SUMNER
 WILL VISIT FLAGSTAFF

Many of the older residents in Flagstaff will be pleased to learn that this old time friend is expected to reach Flagstaff Saturday morning and will stay over Sunday.
 He wasn't a bishop when we knew him more than fifteen years ago, but they tell us he is the same genial, warm hearted friend and energetic fellow he was then. We heartily well come him back to Flagstaff and wish for him a pleasant visit.
 He will preach in the Episcopal church at II o'clock on Sunday morn- ng. A cordial welcome is given to all to come and hear him.
 REV. A. B. CHINN, Pastor
