Alan lost no time in making his

he smiled at himself in disgust. Ten
Percent Wayne had often jumped for
a gangway from the top of flying

A sharp attack of fever followed
Gerry's exposure and immersion. The
old woman of the inn knew no medica-
ments, but she knew fever. She piled
blankets on Gerry and let him sweat
it out. On the third day nature, assist
ed by his magnificent physique, finally
routed the attack.
He called the old woman. He asked
her if she remembered him. She peered
at him. mo MASTER" she said, II do
not remember you. You are like the
foreigner who was drowned, but he
is dead"
Gerry shook his head. Not dead"
he said, 'only disappeared"
You are not he," said the old wom-
an. He could not talk words that
one could understand"
Gerry nodded gravely. He felt as
though words could never make him
smile again. 81 have learned" he said
Now tell me what became of the
things l left here?" He went through
the list.
rThe old woman checked off each
item and then shrugged her shoulders.
She led him to a little dark room
whose only light came from the inter
stices of the tiled roof. AS his pupils
expanded he began to make out one
after another of the bags that had
made up his travelling kit.
"There is a letter." she said, and
went Off to fetch it. Gerry dragged
the bags out into the light. Their locks
were ali sealed with the seal of the
American consulate at Pernambuco.
He started knocking off the brittle
wax. The OLD woman came back with
the letter and handed it to him. he
tore 1t open. 1t was note from the
consul saying that by order of Gerry
wife his things had been sealed ana
left at the inn. telling him where TO
find the keys. The room, he learned
from the old woman, had been paid
for regularly, at first by the month";
then by the year. She felt no resent
ment at his return, only resignation.
''You are the only guest I've had since
you went away" she said quantity and
with a sigh.
Fear nothing" said Gerry kindly.
''You have been faithful. You may
consider the room engaged by me for
the next ten years"
He carried his bags into the room
overlooking the river and then lay
down He was too tired after the fe-
yer to open them. He knew that the
opening of those dust-covered bags
with their rusted metal fittings was
going to be another ordeal.
The next day Gerry sat before his
unpacked bags. He had turned out
all their contents. On the bed, the
floor the table and the chairs was
piled such an array of linen and shoes
and suits of various cut and weight as
he had once deemed the minimum with
which a man could deeently travel.
Now they seemed to him wasteful and
futile. The clothes did not carry his
mind back as he had expected. The
starch in the linen had gone yellow.
He had always hated yellow collars.
The suits struck him as belonging 10

William Aldrich superintendent OF

week. superintendent Aldrtch will
make a detailed report of his trip to
the members Of the school board at
the coming meeting of hat body.
Just across the river from Detroit is
the town of Windsor, Canada, and
some Of the school men went owe
there to visit the historic little city.
and to get a glimpse of the Canadian
schools. They found that at least one
half Of the history course had been
curtailed and that once each month
the pupils were given a bulletin from
the government IN the war, which they
studied.
On all sides. too, they felt the at.
mosphere Of war. Soldiers we're every.
where, and the custom officials were
unusually strict.
On the way home, part Of the west
ern party stopped at Gary, Indiana,
to study the famous Gary system.
While there are many things Of inter,
est in it, the school men found plenty
Of points On which to offer criticism.
The Gary system is that which EN-.
bodies play and work in the school
routine.
There were about $500 superintend'
ents in attendance at the meeting at
Detroit, which was n of the most
successful sessions yet held.

Not Another Group Of Families In
Lee County Costing PeopIe as
Much as This Class
Does.
over SIC, 900 WAS SPENT
Much Can DO Saved II Work VIII be
Done Constructiveiy, Through
Medium Of United
Charities,

There is not another group Of fami-
county as much money as the poor.
During the year Of 1914 there was
spent on the poor Of Keokuk through
taxation $10,142.42, according to the
annual report of the auditor. The
above amount includes that expended
for quarantine but nothing else except
that which relates to the immediate
care of the poo and needy in their
homes. There might well be added to
this amount a large proportion OF, II
not all the criminal ases.
A great part OF this money can BIO
saved the taxpayers II only they can
realize the need Of constructive work
as against palliative work. This is
the day Of specialists and If the unfor-
tunate are to become fortunate, it will
only be through the efforts Of a COM
munity working together and with
some who has made a specially
of the poor and their needs.
The United Charities is offering
the public such an opportunity
through it's officer and is asking moth
ing in return but the voluntary sup
port of the community. 1t maintains
for you use a register Of all families
coming under its care. This source
Of information is open to anyone de-
sirirs to help the poor and needy. 1t
operates a free employment bureau
for both men and women and through
this can be an aid to every citizen
employing help as it will endeavor to
supply his needs from the ranks Of
those who need work the most.
Through its friendly visiting, the
United Charities erdeavors to throw
| about the homes Of neglect, such
/ wholesome, helpful atmosphere as will
assist in building up the family life
and returning the individuals to self
support.
Is it not about time that the COM
munity realized that the poor and un-
fortunate members have not been re-
ceiving a square deal? Insist on their
having the same opportunity for SELF
help as is enjoyed by the rest and If
they are not strong enough to grasp
it, give them some one who can help
them sieze hold of the lower runss
of the ladder of independence.
