wedding he forgot all about Dacre.
Only Lois remembered the grave
faced, earnest sutton, who had told
her that if ever the hour came when
the sacrifice Of his very life could
avail for the benefit of herself and
those she loved, he would welcome
the test
1T will take me a week to settle
up affairs at the mines at Falcon and
get back here" Roger told Lois.
He was making an entire change
in his business interests. For years
the Falcon mine had been a source
of revenue to him since his father
died. It had, however, brought trou-
BILE as well as revenue. There had
been bitterly contested litigation
with Big Barlow, a rufian prOspec-
tor, who had made fictitious claim
to its ownership.
Roger had beaten Barlow fairly in
the courts of justice and the latter
had vowed vengeance. Roger had
decided to remove to the east. He
had sold the mine for a large sum
and his last connection with it would
be to deliver possession to a repre-
sentative Of the syndicate which had
purchased it.
Falcon was SO miles distant across
a barren stretch where it was not
always safe to travel on account of
outlaw characters who infested it at
times. Roger made the journey to
the rude frontier settlement with no
mishap however. He was popular
with the workers at the mine and
made himself still more so by giving
them a grand farewell spread at the
one poor hotel Of the place. Then
he made legal delivery of the prop
erty to the syndicate man and was
ready to return to civilization and

POLICE DEPT SAYS CRIMINALS
ARE SCARED TO DEATH

Professional criminals are becom-
ing terror-stricken at the efficient
and rapid manner in which the Chi
cago police department captures
criminals. At least a forecast by the
police department of its annual re-
port backs up this presumption.
Crime has gone done 1911 per cent
the last year. Burglars, robbers,
and the crooks who commit 'lar-
cenies and other crimes" are fleeing
the city-according to the police.
This city is getting to be a most pc
rilOusly dangerous place for GRIM
according to the police. And
this very year in which the police
official statistics show crime rate
going down is the year in which the
chief of police is indicted by a grand
jury and is to be tried for crime

Philadelphia, Jan. Bernard
Wesley Lewis, Yale graduate, scion
of a wealthy Pittsburgh family,
reached the end of the primrose path
today. His body, disfigured by bull
let hole through the center of his
forehead - self-inflicted - was
in an Atlantic City morgue today.
She who trod the same primrose
path with Lewis, Maize Colbert, rs,
of humble birth and beautiful until
some frenzied murderer crushed her
delicate features and body into gross
flesh and blood-was in a simple
grave in Philadelphia. -
Maize Colbert was murdered. And
Bernard Lewis all but confessed muir
der of his beautiful paramour when
he committed suicide last night in an
Atlantic City hotel, just as detectives
were about to seize him. The prim-.
rose path led the rich man to death
as it led the poor girl there.
In Pittsburgh today, a wife, father
and mother were waiting for final
word from Philadelphia police to
render final verdict whether. or not
Lewis was actually the man who
fiendishly killed the pretty model.
Their verdict admittedly must be
based on circumstantial evidence
alone.
But it was. Lewis who took taxi
cab to the Wilton apartment, where
Maize Colbert lived, who was the last
man known to have seen the girl
alive and who ran away seeking to
lose himself when police fastened
upon his trail

Lewis must have felt the net
Tightening about him. His room at

MILITANT DEMOCRACY SOCIAL
LEVELER.

There Is no such thing as democratic
militarism. because democracies are
never mlitaristic. Civilized nations that
are free instinctively SEEK peace. But
militant democracy is IA different mat
ter. Every democracy worthy OF the
name becomes militant when its life IL
imperled or its rights are assailed, The
United States today exhibits at the same
time more democracy and more militancy
than IL ever did in its life before. And
both of these fine characteristics are
illustrated at their best in the army en-
cnmpments.
TO those who i'm the past have preach
ed any OF the various gospels of class
hatred the spirit Of the training camps
Is wholesome revelation. Men of all
classes, all occupations, all social ranks,
there seem to find themselves merged
in one homogeneous type-the Ameri-
can. Corners are rubbed off, prejudices
disappear, fancied wrongs fade. The
soldiers mix. and find themselves won
drously alike in the big things that
count. i'm their ways of looking at life,
in their ideals and purposes The rich
and the cultured find it easier than
