CHAPTER XXI.
A Plan to Save Ourselves.

She stood with hands clasped, and
parted lips, her eyes wide open with
unconcealed horror, for the moment
unable to utter word.
"You-yOu actually think that, Mr..
Hollis? You mean he would be willing
tn-tO murder all on board to protect
himself?"
"If assured such an act would bring
safety, do not believe he would hest
tate at even that crime. To be per-
fectly plain, Miss Vera, it Is my judy
ment that your presence on board pre-
sents the only problem unsolved.'

cause to fear me. No one knows where

not soul could ever account for my

~True, and probably Mccain Is fully
aware Of these conditions. But he
wishes you alive, not dead. That is
what makes the problem"

"That would marry him."

"And the others? What would be

said soberly-and my hand closed on
hers. Mccain has no intention that
we shall ever put foot on shore. He
would be a fool to permit such a
thing"
You think 1t all planned out?"
I'm detail; Mccain, Liverpool and
White know exactly what they intend
doing. Their questioning of me, and
their scrutiny of the chart, convinces
me Of this. l even believe now could

PLEASE, TEACHER!
Today school opens.

Today school opens
Convention demands that each OF
us. pausing to watch the youngsters
file into the school houses, heave
sigh Of Renaissance and murmur,
Them were the happy days.
But here's where convention gets a
swat. We don't envy the boys and
girls of this town who today return
to their books, their classroohs and
their teachers. Frankly, we feel sorry
for them.
We pity them because there are
such number of things in the world
and because we, the tyrant groWnups,
have decreed our children must learn
all about all of these many things.
We pity them because there are, for
the learning of things, such number
of methods in the world; we the ty-
rants have decreed that no method Is
too trivally experimental not to be
tried
What to teach and how to teach it
A thousand and one answers are
heard. You'd hate, Mr.. and Mrs.
Grownup, to take your chance in the
midst of all this hubbub. Yet that's
just the chance the kids must take.
Some day great educator may
arise We wonder if he will lay down
two simple principles running some
thing like this:
/. Education is not a pouring-in
process. 1t is, as the word itself i'm
plies, drawing-out All the child
ever will become he already is poten-
TALLY. He requires only opportunity
to get out what's in his system. Hence
any method is good or bad as it fos-
tiers or stiles the child's natural i'm
pulses.
g. The chief end of education is
not learning, not technic, but develop
ment of what the preacher folk call
character, and what the scientist
terms adjustment to environment. 1t
is, for instance, more important that a
boy or girl be taught courage than
that they should learn the multiplied.

LITTLE GOOD LAND

west of Amidon, which was thrown
open to entry by executive proclama-
ton the past week, are disappointed
There were but SO unappropriateo

by permit some years ago. Supt. |. P.
Baker Of Bismarck. owns the railroad
land, all odd numbered sections, and
has the same under fence and mostly
leased to people on the reserve who
are engaged in cattle growing. The
reserve was created by Theodore
Roosevelt while president. During
the early eighties the ex-president and
his friends, S. NJ. and j. A. Ferris,
used to hunt buffalo and other large
game among the pines and cedar trees
of this tract of land.

mean to be a member of Americas
armies, what does it mean in America
to raise boy to be a soldier?
Not for gold does the American sol
der risk his all, not for power per-
sonal or national, but for the rights OF
men and women and childhood, for the
right of every human being to life, to
freedom, to the pursuit OF happiness.
This is the supreme love OF coun-
try---that a man will stake his own life
to save his neighbours. This is the
crown America places on the brow OF
history's patriotism-that her sons
fight not for the right of her self to
grow stronger, but for the right Of
the weak to grow strong, for the right
of the world to be one in the univer-
sal might of freedom.
Therein is the significance of moth
erhOod's apparently wasted sacrifice.
Therein is the significance of our sol
dicr boys elfeifacement.
They march aWay-the boys. We
remain. Our part is clear-to stand
behind them in thought and word and
decd, to see TO it that wisdom reigns
in the cOunsels that shall fate their
cOmings and gOings to hold to their
faith that life is service, that sacrifice
is, in truth, the highest selfinterest'
and when need comes to follow where
they lead; so that in the end we may
claim with them joint partnership in
the making of eternal peace.

BRYAN ON sEDiTION.

In all America no man probably
hates war more sincerely and honest
ly than William jennings Bryan.
Whatever one may think of propriety
in doing so, there is little doubt ne
left President Wilson's cabinet be-
cause he though he could more effect
lively work for peace in private life.
But Bryan is no pro-German. He
is not disloyalist, nor a traitor.
When his country has decided upon a
course of action, Bryan, like the loyal
citizen he is, salutes and obeys. He
is. good American, like most of us.
Recently, in his paper, Bryan
wrote:
Before our nation enters war it
is proper to discuss the wisdom OF
going to war, but discussion is closed
when Congress acts. After that no
one should cloak attacks upon this
government or aid the enemy under
the claim that he is exercising free
dom OF speech.
"No sympathy will be wasted upon
those who have been arrested for un-
patriotic utterances. They abuse free
speech and this applies to attacks up
on the allies as we'll as upon the Unit
ed States. We can no more allow our
allies to be crushed than we can af-
ford to be crushed. The defeat of our
allies would throw the whole burden
of the war upon us. We must stand
together and fight it through. There
are only two sides to war. Every
American must be on the side Of the
United States"
This should be the attitude Of loyal
Americans. 1t answers to every dis
loy2list in the country. 1t answers
the Sim Feiners who attack England
and the German-Americansw who try to
pay TIC NCI man game, WHllC ohli llu6
close to sedition. 1t answers every
pro-German editor printing stuff in
which poison is insidiously inserted.
1t answers every senator like Varda-
man who, under his toga's protection,
talks like Junker in the Reichstag
1t makes our duty to everyone of
us. There are but two sides to this
war. the American and German. The
English, French. Italians and Russians
are with us. The Austrians, Bulgars
and Turks side with Germany Any
man in this country who is not ready
to talk for the American side, put up
money for it, write for it, pray for Il,
and fight for it is an enemy, avowed
or implied. And he should be treated
as such
