WHEN LITTLE MARY WAS LOST

So hurried, I fairly raced down the street into the corner store, where 1 Sazed all around and flew out again without any explanation to the as tonished clerks. l investigated the cry goods shop, the delicatessen, the bakery, the grocery and all the pub lie places in the neighborhood where I had ever taken little Mary, but came out of each place biting my lip harder and harder. You wouldn't ever believe that there could be so many places where that child wasn't.

 Fortunately I had enough sense left to realize that unless l got intJ- n cooler dress I couldn't possibly con- . tfnue my search. for I was then on

The outbreak of rage and disgust over the fresh fire on the New York water front and the destruction of an- other million dollar stock of muni- tions is entirely justified. Warning after warning falls upon the ear of the government as to the peril in volved in allowing enemy aliens at large, without penetrating the mind naturally pacifsts and L sG6pectiTtg nothing. In the need of men and confidence in anybody provided he is efficient. employers put opportunities for evil into the power of men act uated by hate and relentless enmity
 The country is being led in war by men who bore three years of insult and injury before showing resentment and now rather lose a ship Or a bat tie and forfeit a factory and. all its product than suspect someone uu- justly American.

When well driller George Picou,
who is drilling a well on 'Avoca Is
land few hundred years back of
the E. A. harr home reached a depth
Of 1872 feet the pressure became so
great that the pump would not work
and the fact was ascertained that
they had a gas well instead of water.
The well has burned freely since
Thursday and today shows pres

able leakage.
The fact that this free flow Of
gas was discovered at such shallow
depth leads many to believe that
there is plenty Of gas and possibly
oil to be found on Avoca Island It
may be continuation OF the oil and

if an enemy should block the chan

suggestion that the Cutter Davey Is

THE FUGITIVE

Margery Carew and her widowed
sister, Anna, suddenly find them
selves penniless through their
guardians juggling of their fortunes.
They both find employment in the
Office of Cleves & Gray and Gray the
junior partner, falls in love with
Margery but she refuses his offer of
marriage as she likes him but does
not love him. Cleves, the senior
partner, a man of doubtful moral
reputation, compels Anna to come to
his home at night to take dictation.
While there she is forced to protect
her honor and while defending her
self she MORALLY wounds him with
a desk knife. Margery, worried by
her absence has followed and finds
her fleeing from the room without
her hat and coat. An officer who
has heard the outcry enters through
a window but through a trick she
manages to lock him in closet.
Margery hiding her own hat and
coat under some bushes and putting
on her sisters takes a train West
and wires to let the crime rest on
her as Anna has her baby to provide
for. Out West Margery marries
and her happiness is complete save
for the cloud Of the past.
Her husband while on a trip to
New York has his watch stolen the
police catch the. theft and the
Chief recognizes the picture of
Margery in the watch case as the
fugitive they have been seeking.
The Chief lures her to New York
with a fake message that her
husband is i'll and puts her through
a relentless third degree on the
scene of the tragedy. As the officer
is swearing to her identity yelled
woman enters the room. The officer,
perplexed, than swears that the
newcomer is the culprit. Lifting
the veil it proves to be the disguised
junior partner, Gray, who confesses
to the crime. He confides to
Margery that he found the hat and
coat she had hidden, and as the doc
tors have told him that his heart
trouble will give him but month
longer to live, he made the sacrifice
Is token of his great love for her.
This picture will, be shown at the
Evangeline today.

SPECIAL NOTICE REGARDING
FEDERAL ROAD AID.

The Secretary Of Agriculture
gave out statement today to re-
flute the report that States desiring
to obtain money for roads under the
Federal aid road act, which appro-
PIRATES .S85,O00,000, must build only
expensive roads, and to make it
clear that no particular kind of ma
terial will be required or favored by
the Department of Agriculture to
the detriment Of other materials.
There is not the slightest truth
in such a report" said Secretary
Houston. "This department, which is
charged with the administration of
the Federal and road act, has placed
absolutely no restrictions, either di-
rect or implied, upon the kind of
highways to be constructed. States
may submit for approval any kind of
road, and approval will be given if
the construction be substantial in
character, suitable for traffic needs,
and meet the terms of the Federal
act. To give State legislators and
highway officials the impression that
this department favors only costly
types Of road, or discriminates in
favor Of any particular material,
result not only in spreading misin-
formation, but in placing barriers
in the way Of States which to avail
themselves of Federal aid in road
