The engineer went to Macdonald and
gave deleted version Of his talk with
Elliot. The Scotsman listened, bit
ter. incredulous smile on his face.
"Says he didn't bring her, does he?
Tell him from me that he lies. Your
wife let out to me by accident that he
threatened to bring her. Meteetse and
he came up on the boat together. He
was with her at your house when she
told her story. He's trying to save his
hide. No chance"

me. I know he didn't do it," insisted

interest in bringing her except him?

So he said 1t.

Safe BUYING for Both.

Buying unnecessary supplies In al
vance and boarding food, both by the
housewife and grocers, was responsible
for some of the highest prices of the
last year. 'Don't be scared into buy
ing" the Interstate Grocer urges upon
its retail grocery readers. That is
Just what food spectators desire. Nor
NAL buying of all groceries with view
to quick and regular turnover will
keep goods moving in normal way
at reasonable prices. Don't let any
one scare you into buying in anticipa-
ton of heavy advances, but force the
channels of distribution to return to
the old basis of competition in sell
ing. Consumers are not apt to buy
out any grocer. as most of them have
spent as much money as they could
spare in canning and preserving their
own fruits and vegetables. If specu-
lators succeeded in creating a panicky
buying condition, unloading upon the
retail grocers at abnormal prices, the
latter would be left holding the bag

BENEFIT OF CHORAL SINGING
Equalizes Men, Creates Spirit OF Broth"
erhood and Takes Mind Off Bust
ness, Asserts Professor.

Music gives utterance to something
within one which can never find ex-
preston in words or acts, in the opin-
ion of A. e. Westbrook, director of
music in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. Choral singing is OF
great benefit to a community.
Music is of great advantage to
men," said Professor Westbrook. ut
equaliZes them, creating spirit OF
brotherhood, and takes their minds of
business. 1t gives them new and
different insight, which is accomplished
not by singing the common popular
songs, but by really good music that
can be appreciated.
"The value of music in bringing to-
gether socially disorganized cOmmuni-
ties has never been fully realized. BY
choral singing, people in any one To-
cality can be brought into certain sym.
pathy with one another. Wherever
there Is a neighborhood there is q
chance for singing. A leader is need
ed who will select only the best music.
Where neighboring groups have been
singing the same kind of good music
they will find in any large community
gathering that they have something in
common and will be ready to take part
| in choral singing on an even larger
scale.
eff an orchestra playing Beethoven
played in a community unused to sucf
music, there would break forth from
the audience an unrestrained applause
are really hungry for good music-th'
kind of music that community musica
societies will bring to them"

the first shot of his campaign to de-
feat the enemy.
HAS Elliott been captured YETI" he
asked weakly. .s
The keen eyes Of his hostess fas-
tened upon Nm. Captured! What
do YOU mean? 1t was Gordon Elliot
that brought you in and saved your
life"
brought me from where?"
"From where he found you uncon-
scious-at the ford"
THAT'S his story, is it?'
The young woman stood with her
gloves crushed tight in both hands. 1t
was her nature to be always parti-
san. Without any reserve she was for
Gordon in this new fight upon him.
| What had Wally Selfridge been saying
TO Macdonald? Did the mine owner
mean to suggest that he had identified
Elliot as one Of his assailants? The
thing was preposterous.
And yet-that was plainly what he
had meant to imply. If he told such a
story. things would go hard with Cor
don. In court it would clinch the case
against him by supplying the one miss
ing link in the chain of circumstantial
evidence.
Diane, in deep thought, frowned
down upon the wounded man, who
seemed already to have fallen into q
light sleep. She told herself that this
was some of Wally Selfridges devil
try. Anyhow, she would talk it ovel
with Peter.
The reason Wally was so pleased
with himself was that he had dropped
a hint into the ear of the wounded
man not to clear Elliot of complicit.
in the attack upon him. The news
that the special investigator had beer
arrested for robbery and attempted
murder, flashed all over the Unitet
States. would so far to neutralize an,
report he might make against the va
lidity of the Macdonald claims. If t.
this could be added later reports o
an indictment, trial, and possibly
conviction, it would not matter tw
straws what Elliot said in his Officia
statement to the land Office.
