he did not know where he was, q
what was happening.
Then, gradually. he began to be
aware Of his surroundings He saw
the body at his feet. and the high cliffs
about him. And in the distance he saw
Clouts and Davies running toward the

Ida stood watching Donald. She
was still hesitating. MacBeard had
found that he could start his engine
His hand was on hers. Davies and
Clouts were fifty PAGES away.
"Come" said MacBeard.
The girl shuddered, and suddenly
she leaped into the boat. MacBeard
threw himself against the gunwale and
pushed It into deep water. He sprang
aboard. He WIS twenty PAGES from

MacBeard, trembling. covered be-

out behind her, he guided the little
craft. The distance was increasing
swiftly.
Davies let his revolver hand fall. He
knew that mt that distance it was i'm
possible to hit MacI;eard with any Ger.

Of shooting Ida.

INFLUENZA WORSE
IN NUMBER OF TOWNS
Western Massachusetts, Suffering Sc
verely-Special Train for Relief
of Vermont Towns.

Little improve ment in the influenza
epidemic is apparent in western Mas
sachusetts. At the Greenfield board of
health headquarters it was said last
night that 81 new eases had been re-.
ported during the day together with
three deaths. The total number of
cases now in quarantine is estimated at
between 200 and 300 which is slight
ly less than it was a few days ago.
In Athol the situation seems to be
growing worse rather than better in
spite of efforts that are being made
to check the disease. One hundred new
eases were reported yesterday, making
total of between 500 and 900. There
are 10 patients in the emergency hos
pital and doctors and nurses from with
out the state have been sent to the
stricken town.
Orange officials report that the sit
uation appears to be in control in that
town. There were FIVE deaths over Sun
day and an increase in the number of
eases. At Turner's Falls the Esleeck
paper mill was closed for a week be-
ginning yesterday on account of the
| epidemic, the employees to receive full
pay meanwhile. Four deaths were re-
| ported in Turner's Falls yesterday.
In Millers Falls there have been Ii
deaths since the epidemic started, five
being reported yesterday, and while
conditions are believed to be improving
the condition is still regarded as seri-
Gus.
In Fitchburg the disease is spread
ing so rapidly that two emergency hos
pitfalls are filed and tents are being
erected to accommodate additional pa
tients. Pittsfeld, Westfeld, and Hol
yoke are among other places where
conditions are serious.
A special train from Burlington ear
rying doctors and nurses was sent Il
the stricken section of Washington
county, VT, yesterday. Some were lef
at Waterbury while the remainder wer'
divided between Montpelier and Barre
In the latter city 80 deaths were re
ported from Saturday night until yes
tcrday afternoon, but the outbreal
of new eases apparently is on the de
crease.

To Mr. CutvormB earliest feed;
From Mr. Catvorm's latest eat

From Mr.. Bugs last meal to frost.

Should have to grow upon a vine,
And lay around in dust and dirt.

And even use III layer cake
But what's the use? this talk is bosh
