We do not know how it may be else
where but we are satisfied there was
mn need and no demand for the law
recurring mills to pay off every week
in Newberry. In fact our mill people
with whom We have talked, would pre-
fer for the old arrangement to remain
in force There was no friction among
the oneratives of the several mills.
Two paid off every two weeks and one
every week and all the people were en-
tirely satisfied and are able and com
petent to make their own trades ana
contracts. AS We see it there is just
a little too much effort TO treat the
mill people as wards who need some
peculiar protection and guaFG1a@snlp.
So far as we can see and judge the peo'
nle who work in the mills around here
are ample to take care of themselves
and make their own contracts, and the
people who manage the mills are So
Hcitous for the comfort and welfare
of the people who work in ;Ae NILS

There must have been an excess OF
prohibition during the closing hours
OF the last legislative session. The su-
preme court had to reverse itself in
order to make the appropriation for
continuing the work at the asylum and
now it appears that the appropriation
bill was "balled up" in another place,
and it will require a decision Of the
supreme court to say what the legis-
lature intended as to the 2pproprla-

legislature. after boasting SO much in
the newspapers how we'll the appro-

so much more expediciously than any

English sparrows are the most unde-
sirable of all birds. They are more
abundant than any other bird. People
have killed out other birds but they
still let the English sparrow run at
large. In fact they can't kill them
like other birds; they can only trap
them.
The English sparrow destroys gar
dens. He is almost as bad as kill
ing frost in a garden. He eats the
small plants as soon as they appear

AT that moment wild cries Of ex-

the uproar and not knowing what
caused it. the two men rushed from
the tent and found themselves in the
midst Of a panic-stricken mob.

and literally threw her into one of the
smaller dressing tents. Flip had
watched her leave Me big top and
as fast as he could push his way
through the crowd, followed the girl
into the open.
"She's in here, Flip" shouted the
men who had forced Peg into the
dressing tent. Go In after her, and
you may be able to handle her"
But as Flip entered one end OF the
tent, the girl fed screaming from the
opposite side. The show folk started
in pursuit, followed her as she lodged
among the smaller tents. vaulting over
guy-ropes and scrambllng in and out
among the various o~bstructions.
When she finally disappeared they
found her inside Of Il tent where
trunks and other baggage had been
sitting on n wardrobe box rocking
back and forth, moaning and crying
piteously. The show folk waited for
Flip to reach the tent, and her they
sent him inside with the hope that he
could now approach and soothe his
suffering child.
The old clown approached very cnu-
tiously. while Peg still sobbed and
moaned. Flip crept up beside her and
slipped his arm around her waist.
Outside OF the tent there was a sud-
den commotion-a small riot that at
tracted the attention OF the perform
ers and called them away from the
tent where Flip IA trying to soothe
his girl. A mob Of spectators who
were seeking vengeance OF Pegs sud

from a new quarter. hurried away to
combat the common enemy. and left
Flip alone to face the fury Of his
still maddened girl. The old clown.
sure OF his ability to control Peg, was
utterly unprepared for her sudden ae-
ton.
Flip had barely settled himself up
on the wardrobe case beside Peg,
when she suddenly attacked him with
q greater fury than she had ever
shown before. Alone with the girl,
his cries drowned by the tumult raised
by the fighting and shouting mob out
side, the old man was quite at the
mercy Of the Infatuated girl.
She sprang to her feet with tiger
like quickness. Snarling and grow
ling she grasped Flip by the throat
and bore him to the ground. Strug-
gle rs he might the superhu.nan

him completely at her mercy.

Lund sent word by the maid that she
was too overcome with grief to sec

the message the maid said she had

give to the manager.

FOURTEENTH EPISODE

Flip did not walt after watching
young Lund speed away In pursuit of
the motor-car bandits who had kid
mapped Peg from the circus lot, but hur-
ried to organize q rescue party and
follow Lund to the relief Of the circus
girl. The performers commandeered
three automobiles that were standing
near the circus grounds, and bribed
the drivers to hurry along the road the
motor truck had taken.
Young Lund was so far ahead, by
the time the circus folk had started
their pursuit that there was no sign
Of his machine along the dark road

three carr carrying the show folks to

quest, but. after . moments heslta-

interjected.
When the other two machines be-
hind Flip's car halted they drew into
the road, and thus blocked the way In
front Of the motor truck. Most Of the
showmen jumped to the ground and
now surrounded the truck driver, lis
te7.ng to the colloquy.
"Well.. I've been paid for my work
