she added breathlessly, her words pouring

Haase had dealings with this Jew. II they
have shot him, 1t is because they have found
out from him all they want to know. That
means our ruin. that means that Haase will
go the same way as the Jew.
But Haase Is stubborn, foolhardy. The

Solemnly the guards led the three candi-
dates around the council chamber and up
plank to the edge of n large, round watering
tank which was filled almost to the brim.
There they stood one behind the other, the
foremost with his feet over the edge of the

there bounced forth fierce. prancing ram.
"Old Buckhorn, our ram! Gee-whillick-

Buckhorn paused just as he struck the
plank. Then he lowered his head and leaped
forward with all mis- might. His head hit
the back OF the re t-most candidate with a
resounding whack The candidate hit the

into the man at the edge OF the tank. Again
old Buckhorn leaped forward. There was

FTNIIE red-masked black men were appar-
L emily as much startled and alarmed as
Peggy and Billy. They stared open-mouthed
up into the darkness OF the haymow from
which had come the hoot OF Judge Owl. Then
the man on the throne spoke in a solemn
but shaky voice.
"Brudder Most High Guard. apply do torch
to de illumnations."
"Brudder Supremest King, All obeys yo
command" answered the fattest Of the black
men, striking match and beginning to light
lanterns that hung about the council room
These lanterns were the scariest kind Of
things. some Of them being grinning skulls
some heads Of serpents, and some jack O.
lanterns.
"Brudder Mostest High Guard. yo' will
please investigate de noises in de upper
cha mher an report at once IL dey Is spies
present"
"Brudder Supremest King. All obeys yo
command" spoke tall lanky black man.
He started briskly toward the ladder which
led to the haymow, but as he clirrhed mp h a
courage ev'edntly oozed and oozed. for when
frightened look around, and then went down
so fast that he missed a step and tumbled
noisily to the floor. Instantly all the others
jumped up prepared to fee. The Mostest
High Guard picked himself up. saluted and
gave his report.
"Brudder Supremest King. All find de ccun-'
Gil room free OBJ spies"
Good, Brudder Mostest High Guard. We
will now proceed to initiate desc most un-
worthy candidates into de mysteries OBJ our

tTo BE CONTINUED TOMORROW
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1918-05-23
II CROW'S-NEST

Cleaning-up week has passed and
there is some evidence of its observ-
ance. A few junk piles and refuse
heaps have disappeared only to make
others the more conspicuous. The
good work should be continued until
there shall be no occasion for criti-
cism. Let us make Brookings a spot
less town.
The great war is certainly teaching
our people valuable habits of thrift. 1t
is easier to collect money in each sue
ceeding drive for war funds of every
kind. 1t is seldom that solicitors have
to tarry any length of time to try to
convince one that it is duty or privi-
lege to give or lend money to the vari-
Gus relief organizations or to the gov
eminent. What we give is, or may be,
saved from our needless spending
habits and what we loan to the gov
eminent by buying bonds. war savings
and thrift stamps is a lesson in the
way of making safe Investments as
we'll as engaging in a patriotic duty.
One of the most interesting papers
presented at the recent bankers con-
vention in this city, was the n on
what Is known as the trade acceptance
plan of settling accounts. The idea
is, that whenever a person wishes to
buy a bill of goods, and does not have
the cash to pay for the same at the
time of purchase, he shall be expected
to turn what is usually a book &C
count into a bankable paper account
that will be acceptable at any bank.
The responsibility Of paying interest
ia transferred to the party which re-
ceives the benefit of credit instead of
the merchant having to carry him for
an indefinite time. 1t is to be hoped
that something like this will soon be
made to take the place of the much
abused credit system.
