realizes that the map is of the utmost
importance. Wee See tells him Zulph
seemed to treasure the paper more
than anything else among the securi-
ties. The Great Master decides to
test Zulph.
Wee See leaves the room and soon
thereafter Zulph enters. Then Wee
Sc returns and apparently by accident,
drops the map, Zulph picks up the
paper and when he sees what it is,
shows great citation. Making a hur-
ried excuse, he departs with the
paper.
When Zulph reaches his quarters
he is in state of great nervous ex-
element over the recovered paper and
the associations it brings up. Suffer-
ing from bad case of NERVES" he
sees vision of the child wife of The
Great Master as she. looked in the
Klondike before her tragic death
there. With an effort Zul phi regains
control of himself, and just then
"Bull'' Whalen, a member of The
Secret Seven, enters and tells him he
has seen Jane Warren and fears she
will betray them.
Zulph had exercised a strong power
over her since their days in the Klon-
dixie, where she nursed Thomas
Clarke, Beverly's uncle. 1t was Zulph
who tried to induce Jane to poison
Clarke. Bull" Whalen goes away
to trail Jane, and Strong sees him.
Strong has been deputized by Sears
as a special detective to aid in run
ming down The Secret Seven. He
trails Whalen and seizes him.
Then he leads Whalen to detective
headquarters and turns him over to
Detective Sears. Just at that time
Jane Warren is in ante room. She
has visited Sears with the intention of
telling everything she knows about
Zulph. Her appearance strengthens
the plans of Sears to round up The
Secret Seven.
The detective, in examining Wlialen,
discovers that the first finger of his
left hand is missing. Finger prints
taken of the room in which Ackerton
was slain showed that finger of the
assasin's left hand was missing.
Cochran, who was Ackerton's as
sistant, becomes wild with fury when
the discovery is made, and he wants
to attack Whalen.
To the amazement of Strong and
Cochran, Sears takes them aside and
tells them Whalen is to be permitted
to escape, and that Strong then is to
trail him. Cochran is left in the room
with Whalen. He begins taunting the
prisoner. Suddenly Whalen deals him
terrific blow and he collapses. Then
The Secret Seven member runs Out
to fire escape and fees.

it is:
Rufus is his name and a Drawer dog
never lived Rufus is hard worker.
He is life saver and deserves all
the praise he gets from everybody
who knows him.
Rufus works in our own big Ameri-
can desert, The Boy Scouts of Los
Angeles and Pasadena, Cal, all know
Rufus. His large beautiful eyes are
full Of love for the Boy Scouts.
Rufus works with Mr.. Beck, who
spends his time helping people who
are lost or in danger in the hot des-
ert. Men go into the desert to hunt
for gold and often lose theirway and
cannot find water.
Through the burning desert Mr..
Beck and his faithful dog go, carry
ing water and food and putting up
signs along the path telling where
help can be found They leave food
and water at certain places for the
wanderers TO find. Sometimes Ru-
fus discovers the footprints of some
poor lost traveller and goes after him
alone.
On his back are strapped bags Of
food and bottles OF water. He otter
has to wear laced shoes to protec,
his feet from the sand, which cut:
like powdered glass.
Many time Rufus has found mer
dying of thirst and led them back tc
safety.
In order to gain money to do thi:

two hives Of bees papa and | have.
The bees were swarming when papa
was blowing Sorn. We saw a big,
brown ball in tree and we wondered
what it could be. We went nearer
and discovered they were bees. I
went to the field and told papa, so
he left the horses standing and came
to the house.
We hunted old boxes, cut the tree
down and shook them in the box.
Then papa took his lunch and went
to the field again. They stayed in the
box for few days.
Once, when l was hoeing the gar
den, ! saw swarm in the mulberry
tree. | went to the field again and
told papa and he said he did not have
time to get them in box. | went
back to the swarm that we had in
box and found that they were gone.
| think thar they were theNsame ones.
| took a different box this time and
cut some Of the limbs of the tree off.
| hunted nice new box with sticks
through it. so that they could get a
start in making honey.
/ went I'D in the tree and cut the
limb on which they were and took it
so that | could put them in the box.
| broke limb that was overhead
and the bees all fell on me. Nv ears
and hair were full, but | did not move
till they left me. l held the others in

am going to tell you about the
first speech | ever made. | was in
the confirmation class, which consist
ed OF forty-one members.
Our minister was to leave us and
we thought it would be right and
proper to surprise him, so we decided
to go to the parsonage after our read
ing exercises were over.
OF course we managed to conceal
ourselves when he came in the hall,
but when he came in the parlor, there
we sat just as innocent as you please.
We have contributed 50 cents each,
so we had quite purse to present to
him. They had not even told me
was to be the spokesman, so when
they handed me the purse you can
imagine how felt. | did not know
what l was to do or say.
The envelope containing the money
was becoming rather heavy and was
uneasy, so l thought if | had to do it,
| might as we'll do it first as last.
got up from my chair and stood
in the middle of the room, and stood
there for few minutes before man
aged to say anything. Then | tried
to explain to our pastor why we were
there, of course only making matters
worse.
l suffered few more words, made
some more blunders, handed him the
purse and was glad it was over.
Then he got up, told US he was
glad to see us Eere, thanked us very
much for the purse, me especially for
my laundering speech.
| resolved that if | ever made
speech again | would copy it down on
paper and read it right.
