Swan and the inspector looked at
each other.
Us it possible" asked Marshall,
''that they have not been carried off
after all? Can they be hidden any
where about the house? 1t seems
likely that at the last moment, as
the children were asleep, there may
have been difficulty in carrying
them"

of the place a second time" said
Swan. .~As we have found one man
hidden away, It is Quie possible
that there may be another hiding
place somewhere. Here, you" he
cried to the Chfnaman, who was
now lowering about the hail. what
have you got to say about these two
children whom we know to have
been In this house7 1t will be much

Lung led the way into the opium

couches and the scowling smokers
to the further end of the room. Here
he lifted the curtain that hung be-
fore one OF the hunks. To all ap-
pearances il was empty.
He tapped on the wood that lined
the wall of the bunk.
That's hollow" he said.
The next moment he had removed
the thin partition. and before them,
lying in the recess, fast asleep, and
locked in each others arms, the de-
tective saw the two missing child

had given him In the last story
and then, all OF . sudden, he saw
old Neptune, King OF the Sea, rae
ing towards the shore in his great
shell boat, drawn By bis foamy sea

"RaiI. little Puss- Junior" roared
the great Sea King. and his voice
sounded like . gust Of wind down

Junior, and then he explained to

a great serpent. as I told you In.
the last story, and how the little
Black Man had said that the only
way for the prince to regain his
natural shape was to eat one OF the
golden apples that grew In the
Gardens OF the West

"WeiI, then, Jump into my char

II was, of course, consulted by Mr..
Garfield before the fuel order was is.

1t was necessary, much as regretted
the necessity. This war calls for
many sacrifices, and sacrifices of the

Necessities for Action.
ut is absolutely necessary to get
the ships away, it is absolutely nee
essary to relieve the congestion at

absolutely necessary that our people
should be warmed in their homes il

Tells Senate Short Lines will Be
Taken Over Only When
Necessary.
COLLAPSE IS STAYED
"Financial Disinaesration" Threat
ening Country Because Of Shrink
aae Of Securities Prevented
by SEEKING Lines.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Director Cen
eral of Railroads w. G. McAdoo has
admitted before the senate interstate
commerce committee that he has been
unable thus far to do much towards
Strengthening out the freight tangle on
the country's rail lines.
He blamed the slow progress on the
unusual weather which affected even
southern railroads. not usually
troubled by cold weather. Not only did
successive billiards. clog rail lines,
but they froze harbors, making it i'm
possible for ships to approach docks
for loading and thus adding to con.
gestion in terminals, McAdoo said.
Not To Take "eaby Roads,"
He gave the first authoritative an.
nouncement concerning. the govern.
ment's policy with respect to the coun-
try's "baby roads" when he said they
will not be taken over unless it is
necessary. The losses they will suffer,
he said, they must bear as part of the
general sacrifice for the sake of vic.
tory.
Somebody has to make sacrifices
besides the man who lays down his
life in BATTLE" said McAdoo. 1--WE
want all the roads to have a square
deal and We'll help all we can, but we
are not going to add to the treasury's
burdens merely to keep some people
from losing money"
Prevented Financial Collapse.
McAdoo also declared governmental
control of railroads was necessary to
prevent financial disintegration,"
which threatened the country because
Of the shrinkage of railroad securities.
This collapse, he said, would ser.
iously have undermined the nations
"hopes of victory in the war"
Senator F. B. Kellogg asked the di.
rector general regarding equipment OF
railroads to which the latter replied he
was not advised.
Don't you know the war board tried
to discourage freight traffic over the
Baltimore & Ohio and other eastern
railroads." asked the Minnesota sen.
ator.

Senator Kellogg asked If he did not
know much of the congestion was due
to the numerous priority orders. Nc.

eyes," replied the director, 81 want.
ed to start with a clean slate"
No One Thing Responsible.
He declared that no one thing was
responsible for the railroad situation.
Railroads spent less for betterments
and improvements in the last three
years than they did in the previous
three years, he said. The tremendous
increase in Industrial and domestic de.
mands in face of the condition was
one Of the big factors in the situation.
he declared.
McAdoo promised marked economies
in the operation of the railroads. He
made this statement in explaining the
purpose of the $500,000,000 revolving
fund to be created by the railroad bill
This fund, he said. was to be used in
making up deficiencies in meeting
guarantees and to provide additional
equipment and improvements

UNREST IN DUAL MONARCHY

Gated serious bread strikes and tieups
at numerous munitions factories, as

Wienerneustad and Prague were all

Other cities were said to have
