IDEALS AT STAKE

Declaring that PLATE was as base
in his neutrality as Judas in mis-
treachery Rev. Melvin c. Hunt. pas
tor OF the Trinity Methodist church.
in his Sunday sermon on "Perllous
Neutrality" justified Americas en-
trance into the world war in defense
OF the ideals Of democracy and as
serted that ito fight for such an
ideal is supremely honorable. and
TO give up life for il is no sacrifice"
Rev Hunt pointed out in conclusion
that il takes no less courage 70 make
democracy effective i'm our industrial
and economic life than IL does 10
face Prussian guns. and that the
Stacker" Is as contemplate in one
case as in the other.
The sermon I'm part follows:
Neutrality is commendable when
IL is Indifferent TO mere craftsmanship
or sectarianism or petty squabbles of
any kind: IL is highly condemnable
when il is Indifference 10 questions
OF race wide and moral interest. Pr
late was as base in his neutrality as
was Judas i'm his treachery. A cul-
tivated and refined indifference TO
the moral warfare waging is no less
betrayal than is black handed al
lance with evil.
Ideals Too Precious.
Just now this subject has a deep
national significance. This greatest
republic Of history cannot afford to
enter. either actively or sympathet-
ically. into European miX-ups and
struggles for aggrandiZement. But
when ideals more precious than life
itself are at stake. then 90 be neu-
trail were as base as PLATE. Such
an ideal is democracy. II empha-
sizes the infinite worth OF man; not
the rich man, nor the educated; nCt
the we'll born nor favorably en-
dowed. but just man, stripped of all
adjectives: he is the unit of meas
urement the standard of value in
democracy. Institutions and civili-
zatiOn itself. exist for him. This was
the hnman half OF the great revela-
ton Jesus made 10 the race, that
one soul. even the humblest. is
worth more than all the world be-
side.
zone would rather see this ideal
of democracy perish from the earth
than TO lose his own life is binder
and baser than words can picture.
Unquestionably also this ideal is at
stake today. for a victorious Prus-
sian militarism would mean the es-
adjustment of a military state. To
fight in such a cause for the main
tenance Of such an ideal is supreme
" honorable, and TO give up life is
no sacrifice. But while the fight is
real. the issue is sure. Already II
kings are off their thrones as re-
suit of two years of struggle.
RAYS the Slackers.
But this is not the only issue in
which indifference and inactivity are
base. Many moral issues confront
our civic and so'ial life; questions Of
social justice and equity. and of
moral right and purpose are appeal
ing for support. It will take no less
courage TO make democracy effective
i'm our industrial and economic life
than il does to face Prussian guns.
but the call is as insistent, and the
Stacker as contemplate i'm the one
case as in the other. And then that
individual call which comes TO every
man to identify himself with right
eousness actively and openly de-
mands an allegians and on enlist
ment as heroic and as positive as
this national call"

Young Man Surprised to Receive ChaI.
lenee, But More Surprised to Find
Foe Woman.

William Kenrick, Berkshire gentle
property, which was considerable, to
an only daughter. This young lady
had mind of her own and, finding
none of her suitors to her liking, sim
ply determined to wait until the right
gentleman should come along.
1t so happened that one day she at
tended a wedding at Reading, an ex-
change relates, where she met young
gentleman named Benjamin Child. He
was poor attorney. With this hand
some young man the younger lady fell
violently in love, but still she was eau
tious. She reasoned with herself for
several days, trying to shake herself
free Of the sudden passion, but all in
vain. Then, feeling that something
must be done. but unable, from confu-
sion of mind, to devise a proper course,
she took the extraordinary step of
sending the young man letter de-
manding satisfaction for alleged in
juries. She appointed time and place
for the hostile meeting. Mr.. Child was
| much surprised, and quite at loss to
| conceive who the challenger could be.
BY the advice of a friend, he decided
to go to the dueling place. Here he
was met by the young woman, who'
much to his surprise, told him he
would have to fight her or marry her.
He naturally chose the latter, and, as
| the saying goes, they lived happily
ever afterward.

Lighting Pipe With Last Match,
Puts 1t Out With Oratory.

Philosophy may be wonderful
thing for the classroom, but there's an
Irish foreman on the subway work
who will tell you in emphatic subway
vernacular that it is wasted in con-
structlon work, muses. New York cor
respondent. 1t was after the din
ner pail period when the foreman
crammed his little old joy box full of
terbaccy and reached in his pocket for
q match. There was none there. A
canvass of his crew revealed one box
of matches-the kind that occasional
ly light. There were just seven
matches in the box, and the foreman
knew that he must get a light or do
without his dessert. Carefully he
shielded the first match with his coat
as he struck. 1t fizzled. The second
failed to give a spark. The third and
fourth were equally futile, and the
fifth and sixth sputtered only long
enough to wiring forth profane protests
from the foreman. With excessive
care he drew the seventh from the
box. To his delight it blaZed up strong
and, with a gratified grunt, he lighted
his pipe.
Il was afraid l wasn't going to get
the light at ALL" he told his men.
''That all goes to show that persist
ance is the thing, boys; stick to it is
my motto. You see, if I had got mad
(and he gestured with his pipe to show
what he meant), 81 wouldn't have
been smoking now from the best little
pipe in the world. Take it from me,
boys, you'll always win out if yer fol
sniggered meanly, he put his pipe back
in his mouth to discover that it was

Cremation of Hindu.

Strange ritual marked the ceremony
of the cremation of the body OF a fe-
male Hindu on the banks of the Zwart-
kops river (South Africa). The body,
in a coffin, was taken to the spot in
a hearse, where it was removed from
the coffin and placed on pile Of fag
gots, which had been built up cradle
fashion ready to receive the body. De-
ceaseds daughter then walked round
the body three times with a burning
torch and set fire to the pyre in sew
eral places. It took three and half
hours to cremate the remains, the
ashes of which were thrown in the
river. The coffin was also burned.
Permission was granted for the carry
ing out of the above by the town
council and the administrator.

The Thin People.

Overeating is a common cause Of
emaciation, paradoxical as this state
ment may seem. Many of our thin
nest neighbors are the biggest eaters
of the community, Physical Culture
Magazine says. 1t is an old-fashioned
saying that these people "eat so much
that it makes them thin to carry it
around" In any case, it is not Ques-
ton of the amount of food one swal-
lows, but question of how much is
Gigested and assimilated. Many per-
sons will gain in weight upon discon-
tinuing the three-meal plan and adopt
ing the plan of two meals per day. The
stomach is then no longer overbur-
dened or overworked, and the diges-
ton is so much more perfect and the
health so improved that a gain in
weight results naturally.

CHAPTER xvlI-continued.


Morning looks down into Khinjan
nours after the sun has risen, because
the precipices shut 1t out. But the
peaks on every side are very beacons
OF the range at the earliest peep of
dawn. In silence they watched days
herald touch the peaks with rosy Jew
eled tingers-she waiting as if she ex-
pected the marvel Of it all to make
King speak.
1t was cold. She came and snug
gled close to him, and IL wns so they
watched the sparkle Of dawn's Jewels
die and the peaks grow gray again, she
with an arm on his shoulder and
strands of her golden hair blown past
his face.
"Of what are you thinkingP" she
asked him at last.
"Of India. princess"
What of India"
"She lies helpless"
"Ahl You love Indian"
"Yes."
"You shall love me better You shall
love me better than your life! Then,
for love of me, you shall own the India
you think you lovel This letter shall

best to cut you off from India first
You shall lose that you may winw
She got up and stood in the gap
smiling mockingly, framed in the dark
ness Of the cave behind.
II understand I" she said. "You
think you are my enemy. Love and
hate never lived side by side. You

Her hands slipped into his, soft and
warm; her eyes fastened on his and
held them. Aud as they did so King
sank, like a sack half-empty and top
pied over sidewlse on the floor asleep.
He neither dreamed nor was con-
scious of anything. but slept like n
dead man, having fought against her
mesmerism harder than he knew.
Statesmen, generals, outlaws, all
make their big mistakes and manage
to recover. Very nearly always it is
On apparently little mistake that does
most damage in the end, something
unnoticeable at the time, that grows
In geometrical proportion, minus in
stead of plus.
Yasmini made her little mistake that
minute in believing King was utterly
mesmerized at last and utterly in her
power. Whereas in truth he was only
weary. 1t may be that she gave him
orders in his sleep, after the accepted
manner Of mesmerists: but If she did,
they never reached him; he was far
too fast asleep. He slept so deep and
long that he was not conscious of mems
voices, nor of being carried, nor of
time, nor of anxiety, nor of anything.
Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1917-12-21

The others got up, to lend the first
man encouragement. They leaned on
rifles and surrounded the mullah, so
that King could only get glimpse of
him between them. They seemed in no
mood to be treated cavalierly-in no
mood to be argued with. And the mul-
lah did not argue.
"Ye dogs!" he growIed at them, and
he strobe through them to the fire and
chose himself a good, thick burning
brand. aye sons of nameless mothers!"
Then he charged them suddenly,
beating them over head and face and
shoulders, driving them in front Of
him, utterly reckless of their rifles.
His own rifle lay on the ground behind
him, and King kicked its stock clear
of the fire.
"Oh, 1 shall pray for you this night !"
Muhammad Amin snarled. What a
curse l shall beg for you! Oh, what
q burning of tie bowels We shall have!
What q sickness What running of the
eyes! What sores! What boils! What
sleepless nights and faithless women
shall be yours! What a prayer l will
pray to Allah!"
They scattered into outer gloom be-
| fore his rage, and then came back to
| kneel to him and beg him withdraw his
curse. He kicked them as they knelt
| and drove them away again. Then,
silhouetted in the cave mouth, with the
| glow of the fire before him, he stood
with folded arms and dared them
slloOt.
After five minutes of angry contem-
platiOn of the camp he turned on a
contemptuous heel and came back to
the fire, throwing on more fuel from a
great pile in a corner. There was an
iron pot in the emberS. He seized a
stick and stirred the contents furious
ly, then set the pot between his knees
and ate like an animal. He passed the
pot to King when he had finished, but
fingers had passed too many times
| through what was left in it and the
very thought of eating the mess made
his gorge rise; so King thanked hin
and set the pot aside.
Then, 'That is thy place!" Muham
mad Amin grOwled, pointing over his
shoulder to a ledge of rock, like shell
in the far wall. But though he was al
lowed to climb up and lie down, he wa:
not allowed to sleep-nor did he wan
to sleep-for more than an hour te
come.
The mullah came over from the fir
again and stood beside him, glarin:
like a great animal and grumbling il
his beard.
Does she surely love thee?" h
asked at last, and King nodded. be
cause he knew he was on the trail O
information.
$50 thou art to ape the Sleeper Il

to life, as she was said to come to life
and the two of you are to plunde

jumped, nearly driving the lance into
new place in his patients neck.
''Let him go" growled Muhammad
Amin. $50, thoul Stand guard over
the women until l Gomez
The mullah turned a rifle this way
and that in his paws, like a great bear
dancing. The very Orakzai Pathan
who had sat next King in the Cavern
of Earth's Drink, was creeping up be-
hind the women and already had his
rifle leveled at the man with boils.
"Aye" said the mullah, watching
Kings eyes. "He has done well, and
the road is clear!"
The man with bOils offered no fight.
He dropped his rifle and threw his
+ hands up. In moment the Orakzai
Pathan was in command of two rifles,
holding King from among the women,
whom he seemed to regard as his plum
! der too. The women appeared SUI
premely Indifferent in any event. King
nodded back to him. A friend is a
friend in the "Hills," and rare is the
man who spares his enemy.
"None comes to earn living in the
Hills" growled the mullah, swaying
his head slowly and devouring King
with cruel calculating eyes. "Why art
thou here?"
II slew man." said King.
'Thou liest 1t was my men who got
the head that let thee in! Speak |!
Why art thou here?"
But King did not answer. The null
lah resumed.
"He who brought me the message
yesterday says he has it from another.
who had it from third, that thou art
here because she plans simultaneous
rising in India, and thou art from the
Punjab where the Sikhs all wait to
rise. Is that true?"
'"Thy man said it," answered King.
"Then hear mer said the mullah.
Listen. thou" But he did not begin
to speak yet. He tried to see past King
into the cave and to peer about into
the shadows.
'Where is she?" he asked. "Her
man Rewa Gunga went yesterday, with
three men and letter to carry down
the Khyber. But where is she?"
So he had slept the clock round
King did not answer. He blocked the
way into the cave and looked past {he

Girls as Bell Rinuers.

Bell ringing is being done by girls
in the little village of Longstock, Ire
land, as the young men who used to
perform this duty have joined the
army. The Ginning is excellently and
regularly performed by three or four
girls, trained by local lady, and week
day and Sunday the bells send out
their CHEEKY message over the coun-
tryside. This may not be essential
war-work, observes a correspondent,
but it is one of immense value to the
morale of the neighborhood, and a
work which would be left undone, like
but for the good offices of the women
at home.

Else Why Are Thou Here?"
mini was in possession of the secret
Of the Sleeper. Perhaps he knew it
first; perhaps she snatched the keep
ing of the secret from him. At all
events he knew it and recognized
Kings likeness to the Sleeper, for his
eyes betrayed him. He began to stroke
his beard monotonously with one hand.
The rifle. that he pretended to be hold
Ing. really leaned against his back and
with the free hand he was making sig
nails.
King knew well he was making sig
nails. But he knew too that in Yas-
minis power, her prisoner, he had no
chance at all of interfering with her
plans. Having grounded on the bot
tom Of impotence, so to speak, any tide
that would take him off must be a good
tide. He pretended to be aware of
nothing, and to be particularly un-
aware that the Pathan, with a rife

had lashed his hands. In five minutes

the mullah bringing up the rear, de-
scending backward with rifle ready
against surprise, as il he expected Vas
mini and her men to pounce out any
minute to the rescue.
They entered q tunnel and wound
along II, stepping at short intervals
over the bodies of three stabbed SEN
tries. The Pathan spurned them with
his heel as he passed. In the glare at
the tunnels mouth King tripped over
the body of fourth man and fell with
his chin beyond the edge of a sheer
precipice.
They were on ledge above the wa
terfall again, having come through q
projection on the cliffs side, for Khin-
jan is all rat-runs and projections, like
a sponge or a hornets nest on titanic
scale.
They soon reached another cave, at
which the mullah stopped. 1t was a
dark ill-smelling hole, but he ordered
King into it and the Pathan after him
on guard, after first seeing the women
pile all their loads inside. Then he
took the women away and went off
muttering to himself, staggering,
swinging his right arm as he strobe, in
way few natives do.
"Let us hope he has forgotten
these" the Pathan grinned, touching
the pile of rifles. "Weight for weight
