ears Jones heard an irregular, insist
ent scuttlng sound. He crouched in
silence while the captain crept up to a
ledge and cautiously peered over, then
went forward in response to the 9TH
er's urgent reckoning. They looked
down q rock-basin of wild and curious
beauty. A figure, naked from the
waist up, huddled upon the hard
baked mud, digging madly at the
earth. A sharp exclamation broke
from Average Jones. The digger half
rose, turned, collapsed to his knees,
and pointed with bleeding fingers to
his open mouth, in which the tongue
showed black and swollen.
They went down to him.
An hour later, "Rickey" Hoff was
sleeping the sleep of utter exhaustion
in camp. Average Jones felt amply
qualified to join him. But it was not
in the Advisors character to quit an
enterprise before it was wholly CON-
pleted. So long as the two bandits
were on their way to cash the young
spendthrift's checks-Jones had heard
from the victim brief account of the
extortion was not fully won.
"We've got to get that money back"
he said to Captain Funcke with convic-
ton.
The hunter made no reply in words.
He merely leaned his sl:9kgun against
his thigh, reached around beneath his
coat and produced a forty-fve caliber
revolver. This he held out toward
Jones.
Good thing to kave," conceded the
other. 'But-well, no; not in this
case. I've notion that we can get
the swag back by straight sale and bar

them in time. You say it's an eight

But to a hunter, wouldn't it be well
worth the risk for a record pair of
horns-even if they were only tin
horns?" queried Average Jones sug:
gestively.
Captain Funcke relaxed into a grin:
He nodded.
"Whatll we do with him." he asked,
jerking his head toward the sleeper.

headed for. How much water do. you

Average Jones got painfully to, his
feet Looking carefully over the scat
tered camp outfit, he selected from it a
! collapsible pail and hung upon his
shoulder not only their canteens, but
also the empty one which they had
found in the camp. Their own third
tin, almost full, they left beside Hoff,
with note.

The evenings thinking formulated
itself into a telegram to Average
Jones' club, the Cosmic.
The reply was disappointing:
Cyrus c. Allen absent from town. VIII
forward your wire. COSMIC CLUB.
Well poised as Average Jones nor
mally was, he chafed over the ensuing
delay of four days. The only relief
was call from the Spanish instructor
who answered Jones'. advertisement.
He was the same who had served
young Hoff. His former employment
had been merely the translation of a
letter in base Spanish, he said. There
was something about a lost gold mine,
and reference to map. No; no geo.
graphical names were mentioned, but
in several places the capital letters B.
c. seemed to indicate locality.
Doctor Hoff, who had been ramping
with impatience over the mans lack
OF definite memory, now rushed to the
atlas and began to study the maps.
"You needn't trouble" said Average
Jones coolly. "B. c. is Baja Califor-
MIA, the Mexican peninsula Of Califor-
MA"
Jones sent a supplementary wire to
this effect to Cyrus c. Allen of the Co.'S
mic club, and within a few hours re-
ceived reply from that eminent car
tographer, who. had been located in a
remote part Of Connecticut:

COMMON SENSE NEEDED
Detroit Free Press

Prof. Whitney of the University o.
Michigan, declares that the moral anC
religious standards of the youth of to.
day are deteriorating and laments thai
the church, home and Sunday-school
have proved inadequate to arrest the
tendency.
AS the matter presents itself to us
il is not that the youth of the country
have deteiioIa,cd, but thai observers,
like Prof. Whitney and the church, the
home and the Sunday-school, have to
very great degree lost touch with
the realities of life as they appear to
the boys and girls of today.
Morals and the standards by which
they are or should be measured are in
a state of constant flux. This is recog-
nized by all observers as they view
the progress of past periods of society,
hut, singularly enough, many of them
seem to be unable to realize that their
own period and generation are subject
to the same law of change and evolu-
ton
The present is a period of peculiarly
rapid change. There are many evil
dences of this on every hand. The par
ents Of even middle age are largely
out of sympathy with the aspirations
OF their fullblooded offspring, while
The "old folks" of so or more are hope
lessly shocked by most of the things
that the youngsters look upon as
merely the logical routine of their
lives.
The church, the home and the Sun
day-school should accept the newt
able and more closely approach the
frame of the youngsters. Above all
hey should get away from the idea
that there is any such thing as hard
and fast rules OF moral conduct You
cannot, inreason, measure twentieth
century conduct by sixteenth century
standards. 1t is not the youth of to-
day who are at fault, but, to a large
degree, the agencies charged with the
molding of the characters of the
young. In trying to impose out-of-
date restrictions of conduct they are
attempting the impossible.

The "Kalevala" is the national epic

"The Land of Heroes" 1t is a poem in
which all of the ancient Finnish gods
the deities of the earth, sky, sea,

introduced in legendary form, with a
host of minor characters. The great
hero of the story is Wainamolnen, who
was of supernatural origin. The epic

the lesson of the whole is the struggle
between good and evil, darkness and
light, Ignorance and knowledge. This
epic seems to have been orally pre-
served until DR.. Elias Lonnrot, ia
nous scholar, brought it to light, ran
down numerous sources of Informal
ton, and nodded the whole into a
homogeneous form, something over a
century ago. Longfellow is believed to
have drawn literally from the Kale-
vala, both as to- poetic form and treat
ment, in writing his "Hiawatha."

OUR FIRST COMPOSER

Americas first composer of any note
was William Billings, who was born
in Boston October Z, 1746 In his youth
he was a tanner, but a love for music
led him to become teacher of sing
ing and composer of psalm tunes,
which eventually found their way into
every church choir of New England
and became great favorites with the
people. He published no fewer than
six collections of tunes. all founded
upon the new school of religious music
then coming into vogue in England.
Their contrast to the dismal old tunes
previously in use naturally gave them
an immense popularity; and in fact
they effected a musical revolution in
all the English colonies of America
They were far from being perfect i'm
melody and harmony, and would be
very crude today, but the
displayed an originality ap-
preaching genius, and had he enjoyed
the educational advantages open to
of today his compositions
would doubtless have possessed a per-
manent value.
