UTILIZE PRISON
PRISON LABOR

Washington, D. c., Nov. 24.-Plans
for utilizing in war production work
the labor of some 100000 persons
now In prisons, jails and reforma-
tories are being worked out by the
War Bureau Of the National Com
nittee on Prisons and Prison Labor,
in CONJUNCTION with officials Of the
American Federation Of Labor.
Inmates Of prisons now constitute
the largest single unit Of men not
productivity employed. It is hoped
to make these men not merely self
sustaining but q positive war asset.
In some communities it is planned
to develop great prison farms where
the men may produce foodstuffs.
Where prison labor cannot be used
on farms, an attempt will be made
to utilize it in other ways that will
be of direct help.
One plan is to use prison labor in
connection with the retaining of the
nations junk, the Importance of
which has just been emphasized by
the geological survey.
This involves nationwide organ
ization for gathering our waste
meals, papers and rags.
Prisons and warehouses would be
centers of delivery for all this sal
vaged material. It would be sorted
and graded by the inmates. Inven-
tories would be filed with the gov
eminent, and the materials sent back
INTO industry as needed, upon au-
tho-lzation of federal bureaus.
This system would enable the gov
eminent to keep check upon the vol
ume of reclaimed materials and ia
regulate the flow of scrap to the
market. It would also furnish these
institutions with new means of EN-.
pioyment and the new sources OF
revenue which can be applied to the
benefit of the prisoners.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Storm Breaks.

Young Doctor Elliott, lying prone on
his blanket on the hewn logs of the
floor of Conrod's tavern, stirred uneas-
lily in his sleep. Outside, the artillery
of the last thunderstorm of the autumn
rumbled and crashed above the steady
rush of the rain. A hand fell upon the
latch and the door burst open before
the fury of the wind. Elliott woke to
find the rain driving into his face. He
was about to rise to close the door
when the whole room was struck out of
darkness by the dazzling blue of sheet
lightning. 1t was gone as instantly
as it came and the crash of thunder
which accompanied it drowned his cry.
In that single moment of the binding
flash he had seen, outlined against the
shimmering sky, framed in the rec
tangle of the door, the dreadful figure
of crouching Indian, knife in hand.
His limbs froze in horror. The room
was now as black as midnight, but his
eyes ached with the impress of the
lightning glare and the image that had
been struck into them. Still in the
ening face-dark, evil, its bloodshot
eyes peering malevolently into the
room.
He heard the rain-soaked moccasins
OF the savage take two steps inward.
Before he could cry out again, Sec
ond flash of lightning illumined the
room, and showed q second man, tall,
pale with anger, his foot on the thresh-
old.
With the hoarse snarl of a wild
beast, the Indian leaped at the figure
In the doorway. They grappled. In
the darkness Elliott heard their quick
terrible breathing as they swayed in
q struggle for life. A stool tripped
them and they fell. rolling against him.
Again the lightning flared and he saw
the knife, dashed from the Indians
hand, lying beside him. The white
man was beneath, his face hidden by
the straining shoulders of the savage.
Blindly Elliott seized the weapon and
struck with hysterical force.
The man beneath shook off the re-
Taxed arms of the hideous intruder and
rose unsteadily to his feet. Then he
laughed aloud in the darkness.
Il can't see who you are, friend" he
said, 'but you've certainly saved me
from close CALI
Elliott made no answer. He was
sobbing weakly, his hand still clutch
ing the blood-stained knife. From the
upper room came the sound Of voices
and the tavernkeeper came hurriedly
down the narrow ladder leading from
the loft, followed by the awakened
guests. Someone struck a flint; can
| dies were lighted.

Il DO not know" faltered Toinctte,
''but, oh, David"
''Good-byl" he said.
She did not answer, but held out
her hand. He paid no heed. With q
sob she turned and ran falteringly to-
ward her fathers house.
David set about the work he had
to do.
He went directly to Blackford's room
at the tavern. Ike was not there In
a corner, beneath the wooden table
where a dozen law books lay scattered,
was narrow box. Ike had often ex-
hibited it's contents to him. He lifted
it upon the table and threw open the
lid. Within lay two of those deadly
weapons which none but gentlemen
cherished-two dueling pistols. brown
barreled, glistening, long and lean as
lightning. He drew forth one of them,
tried it's hammer; it moved swiftly,
noiselessly. He loaded it, fitted the
flint into the lock, placed it in the
bosom of his coat, and went out, silent
ly, his face white as linen.
Night had fallen. Far to the east
a sheet of flame f1ickered palely. Long
after, faint roll of thunder followed.
A drop of icy rain struck his face.

in his fixed resolve not to forget what
had gone before. Why couldn't he be
sensible and talk to her as if nothing
had happened? AS for herself, she
would die before she begged his for
giveness. And so matters stood when
they reached Fort Harrison, on the
homeward journey.
AT Fort Harrison they found Ike
Blackford, sound and strong again.
Toinette had dreaded meeting him. He
came toward her, his face bright with
joy, but clouded when he realized that
David and she had not yet settled
their silly quarrel. Ike was misera-
Bile but he kept silence. He knew bet
ter than to thrust his paw into that
fire.
The wounded were transferred to
the boats at Fort Harrison and the
journey to Vineennes was soon accom-
plished There they found the lady
mule Priscilla, and when the march to
Corydon was resumed Toinette was
ferried on the jenny's patient back,
while Ike strobe beside her.
And Ike laughed, striving to make
her forget; but strove in vain!
On the twenty-ffth of November
they reached Corydon. Runners had
gone on before with the news of vic
tory; and the whole village came out
to meet them as they neared the town !;
women ran among the men even as
they marched and aung their arms
around the necks of brothers, fathers,
husbands, though some sought in vain
for those who would never return,
or threw themselves with weeping be-
side the bodies of those who lay upon
the filters. But hundred hearts were
happy and thanked God; and happiest
of all was a little old man, Patrice
O'Bannon, who strained his daughter
to his breast and kissed her again and
again with tears mingling with his
kisses; for she had been brought back
to him as from the grave.

He passed swiftly from house to house,
inquiring from each if there the young
doctor from Louisville, young Doctor
Elliott, was within; and, though sever
al had seen him that day, none knew
where he might be found. 1t was late
when someone he questioned recalled
that he thought he had seen Elliott
that night at Conrod's tavern outside
the village.
He set out on the road that led to the
east! The storm had reached it's
height.

Here's Tip About Hotel Guests


In the American Magazine writer
says:
Here's funny thing, by the way,
that I've noticed about hotel guests:
You have a soiled towel in a room,
and the guest will probably complain.
But you can leave bucket Of paint
and a paperhanger's scaffold in the
hallway, and compel the guest to
crawl under a stepladder to get to his
room, and he will put up with it
observation-disclosures he knowns you
are painting or papering by way Of
making an improvement, and he is In
sympathy with that. 1t doesn't cost
much to make over a carpet so that
a bare spot in front of the dresser
will be eliminated, but such little de-
tails are vast help in making a
hotel prosper"

CHAPTER XV-continued.

With q bound he reached the bank
of the stream, seaped down beneath
Its friendly shelter, and ran on noise
less moccasins along the shelving
edge, back toward the quarter from
which the shot had come; if he were
pursued, it would be better to let the
chase pass him than to try to out
distance the Indian runners. At last
he stopped and inch by inch crawled
up to the top of the bank until he
could lift his head with infinite eau
ton and peer through the tufts Of
weeds. No sound broke the stiffness.
For an eternity of time he lay, clutch
ing his rifle in readiness; but the only
sound was the querulous calling of the
little woodpecker, high overhead. He
waited waited waited.
Fifty yards away a twig snapped
under a slow-moying foot. David
scarcely breathed. A head rose above
q fallen giant Of the forest, and a
erouching shadow fitted from tree to
tree, nearer, nearer :. David
raised his rifle ever so little {.
He saw the face of the dread hunter,
beering with quick motions of the
head from side to side, watchful as
the brown water-snake. Nearer he
came; the garb was that of an Indian,
the face a white man'sl David was
about to cry out with relief when the
glittering eyes were turned full toward
him, though they failed to pierce the
sheltering covert, and with sickening
horror David recognized the face of
Simon Girty, the renegade!
On the instant, David lifted his rife
and fired full at the crouching figure.
From Girty's lips broke the roar of
an Infatuated animal; he staggered
back with the impact of the shot, but
he did not fall nor yet did he lift his
weapon to his shoulder; and David
saw that his shot had struck only the
lock of Girty's rife, rendering it use
less but leaving the man unframed.
With below of rage, Girty bounded
toward him, swinging the broken
weapon like club. There was no time
to reload. David leaped to the top of
the bank and braced himself for the
onset. AS the dubbed rifle of the out
law rose above his head David swung
his own upward to meet it. They
crashed together and splintered with
a shock; and in the same second, fling
Ing the broken stock away, the mighty
arms of Simon Girty flung themselves
around David.
With the strength of desperation,
David strove to oppose the terrible
sinews. Back and forth over the
frozen grass the two men fought like
beasts, heaving, struggling, stumbling
over roots, locked in an embrace as
deadly as that of the cougar. But it
could not last long; David felt his
strength ebbing under the terrific
strain and his breath grew short and
gasping; when suddenly the earth gave
way beneath their feet and with a last
despairing effort David twisted him
self above as they toppled over the low
bluff, and the fight was over. Girty,
falling underneath, had struck his head
upon stone; and his arms relaxed
their hold.
David stood up painting.
Girty lay very still. But David
knew that he must make sure that the
man was dead before he could be safe
himself. He felt in his girdle for his

knife; but it had fallen out during the
struggle. Clambering up the bank
again, he saw it lying on the ground
and as his fingers closed upon the
handle he thought he heard sob. He
turned his head quickly.
'Toinetter
The name burst from him in the
completeness Of his establishment, in
the revulsion of his despair, in his
mighty joy, like the cry of the soul
itself.
Toinette was leaning against the log
from behind which Girty had risen, ex-
hausted by the effort she had made to
free herself from the thongs that
bound her feet and hands. A sob had
come from lips drawn in utter weari-
ness and despair.
He wRs SAside her.
