LET'S HAVE A LAWYER FOR DIS
TRICT ATTORNEY-VOTE FOR
HORACE G. BENSON

1t is sorrowful commentary upon
the political conditions now prevailing
in Denver that neither Of the old par
ties has nominated a man Of standing
at the bar for the office Of district
attorney. The circumstance shows that
there is no Republican or Democratic
party, and that in their stead we have
bipartisan machine, controlled by the
bosses with view to perverting the
ends of popular government and TO
building up spoils system such as we
had under similar conditions some years
ago.
But the people of Denver are to be
congratulated upon having a candidate
who deserves the office and will prob
ably be the choice Of the majority at the
polls in November. This man is Horace
G. Benson, the mere mention of whose
name is sufficient to arouse enthusiasm
in behalf Of his campaign. He Is the
only candidate before the people at this
time who is likely to command the sane
and intelligent vote Of the city next
month.
The bipartisan machine has but one
object before 1t, the capture Of this i'm
portant office for the sake of the spoils.
vote for Horace G. Benson will help
to save the city from four-year period
Of political piracy.

i've legislation unprecedented in amount
and scope. Legislative enactment has
secured to wage earners fundamental
rights necessary for the very existence
OF the organizations OF labor without
which wage earners would have nothing
OF freedom and no real opportunity for
self-betterment. Not only have labor or,
ganizations been given the right to exist
but the activities necessary to make
those organizations effective have been
declared Legitimate and not contrary to
any law of the United States.
Free Children From Slavery.
The American seamen, the last group
of workers who could under law be com
PEELED to perform compulsory service,
have been made free men and given the
right to quit their ships when in safe
harbors.
After many years of effort a child
labor law has been secured, due directly
to the influence and intervention Of
President Wilson. The law is funda-
mental, for it protects the children-the
future citizens of the country-and Sc
cures for them an opportunity to develop
into manhood and womanhood withoui
being stunted and dwarfed in mind and
body by work unsuited to their develop
ment and strength.
Due to the initiative of President vii.
son, the congress extended the United
States eight hour law to include the
workmen engaged in the operation of the
railroad train service of the country and
great national strike was thus averted.

II is impossible to give the full list of
remedial protective legislation that car

homes of millions of Americas workers
We can only refer to that change in the

The night was moonless, but clear
and starlit. AS Hazards little craft
drifted slowly before the impulse of a
light breeze, he trailed line over the
bow to which was attached a weight.
Little by little, as the rocky bottom
fell away, he paid out the line; then
all at once the plummet went down
abruptly and stopped. A few minutes
more he devoted TO sounding, and
again the weight dropped abruptly.

What he saw was a wall Of rock
with a broad ledge running athwart
its face. The ledge was perhaps
twenty feet above his head, and con-
sequently more than dozen or so feet
below the surfa ,.
What he felt was strong current
or undertow whose tendency was to
draw everything within a certain ra-
dius toward the ledge.
Late that afternoon a tall, graceful,
strikingly pretty girl alighted from

Felix counted the seconds of the first
minute, The rope played through his
hand at first and moved this way and
that. indicating that the girl was MAX
ing the best use of her time. Then all
at once 1t settled into a steady pull
had she stepped off the ledge?
For second or two longer he paid
out the rope; but the persistent pull
did not lessen. The seconds sped on.
Suddenly the strain relaxed and he be-
gan to haul in the loose rope as fast
as he could move his arm. At last
she was coming back.
And then--the awful shock Of It'll

slithered across the gunwale and fell

He was stunned, stupefied. A noise
between a sob and a snarl burst from
his throat. The seconds were golden
now; but God could not stay them.

she had cut herself loose. With his
heart pounding furiously, his burning
glance darted here, there, everywhere:

bosom remained unruffied save by the
gentle night wind.
There was no ground for doubt:
hope was shouldered out by despair.
The minutes grew. The tragedy was
simple: Helen had gone down into
the water and she had not come up
again
Now while the man was undergoing
his awful ordeal alone upon the wa
ter, things had been happening over
on the island. An uproar that he was
deaf and blind to broke loose, and as
quickly subdued But all at once,
with the keen incisiveness of razor,
cry cut through to his dulled senses.
Loud and clear and high it rang in
a prolonged "Coo-oo-oo-ee-e-e-e!"
There was no mistaking that sweet
voice. 1t was Helen's!
Toward the island the little boat was
pointed, and the engine spurted furi-
ously as it pushed the craft along
faster than ever it had moved before.
A minute later there was splinter
ing crash as the light shell dashed it
self to kindling-wood upon the bowlder
lined beach.
In twinkling Hazard was clawing
and stumbling over the rocks. up to
the level ground, where, utterly spent
with the reaction, he dropped CULVER

Helen stood there. her tall form
draped liz an outlandish bedquilt. His
hands CROPPED blindly for her; he
could not utter sound.
With rare comprehension she bent
swiftly down to him. One beautiful
white arm went around his shoulders
and held him tight; it was such an
embrace as a mother instinctively
would think of to comfort a heart
broken child.

II.

Upon his arrival at Mackinaw, Fe-
Xix Hazard did not at once make HIM
self known to the overseer of the div
ing crew, young man of the name
of Fowler. He wanted first to map out
the lay of the land-or, to be more pre-
else, the water-and to discover for
himself whatever might be discovered.
Some twenty-five miles more or less
west of Mackinaw lies group Of is
lands of which Beaver island is the
largest and Pigeon island is perhaps
the smallest. 1t was not more than a
cables length off the rocky, pine
crowned shore of the last named is
land, and almost exactly on line with
St Ignace to the northeast, that Perky
and his precious freight went down.
The detective was informed by a
boatman that Hog island was the div
ing crews base of operations.
Why not Pigeon island?" he asked.
TITS nearer, isn't it, to where the man
sank?" (The real aim of the diving
operations was disguised behind an ad-

III.

Pigeon island comprised a rough, ir-
regular area of possibly two hun
bred acres. Except where sheer walls
of rock and here and there a tiny
stretch of sandy beach presented bar
riers to the lake, the entire expanse
was densely wooded. To Hazard, who
had cautiously circumnavigated it, 1t
seemed uninhabited.
The explorer had been warned
against the danger from submerged
rocks on the north side, and he dared
not to go too close until he knew
more of these strange waters; the
south side offered no landing place
against which he was willing to pit
his inexperience, so he contented him
self with long-range inspection of
the wooded Irregularities of the is
lands surface through a pair OF high
power binoculars.
Not sign of life could he detect.
After a while he pointed his boats
nose toward ST. Ignace, killing his en-
CINE so that he might drift slowly over
the spot where the divers had been
working. Then a sudden impulse
made him look back at Pigeon island.
He snatched up his binoculars and
brought them to bear upon a figure
that stood upon a pinnacle of rock,
silhouetted against the azure of the
sky.
1t was the doctor he had seen some
hours earlier at Mackinaw!
Ollce more laying aside his glasses,
he brought his boat about and again
made the circuit of Pigeon island.
with a view of discovering if pos
sible the craft in which the doctor had
come and where it was anchored.
BY and by he deserted it-or. its
stern, rather, for all the forepart of
the boat was hidden by a tall slab of
granite which, at a distance, blended
with and seemed a part of the un-
broken shore line. but which in reality
effectively screened an opening to a
deep, quiet inlet and gently shelving
beach.
This much Felix Hazard made out.
and then his attention was roughly di-
verted. A sharp metallic click from
his engine made him look that way.
Upon the cylinder was lead-colored.

he heard the distant crack of a rife.

his engine.

Before he could offer objections she
took the bright blade Of the knife in
her teeth. lifted the weight on her
foot over into the water and let her
self gently down until she was hang
