to blow the ship from the face Of the
ocean.
Fay Unbosoms Himself.
AS they worked together in the
succeeding days Fay told him OF the
dreams Of destruction which were
seemingly to be realized. He told him
how first munition carrying ships
would be attacked. and then the food
ships. And then. his plans succeed
| ing. his energies would be extended
to war ships operating outside the
three mile limit.
"And as a final blow" he finished,
zone day there is the harbor of New
York. With one blow-one great eX-
plosion--it can be cleared of all ship
ping, its docks and wharfs destroyed,
New York's giant shipping industry
will be crippled forever and the allies
delayed for months by being deprived
OF the supplies they need. Such an
event would be a victory for Germany
unequalled in the annals Of her mag
nificent history"
His assistant glanced at him with
look bordering on repulsion, but
Fay, in the frenzy Of imagination,
was blind to it.
And the loss Of life? That also
does not matter2"
why should we care" Fay an
swered recllessly. Germany will

now? And the glory Of the achiev-
ment-" a...s
He was interrupted by a knock at
the door, and went outside. The
murmur of voices sifted into the boat
house. Then Fay reappeared.
1T is a message. They are COM
planning at our slowness. But was
able to tell them that our bomb. is
finished. And the time for action
has come. Tonight our first blow will
be struck"
The assistant leaned forward and
smiled peculiarly. He reached back
to his pocket, slowly, carefully.
'rNo 1t won't" The words fell
strangely in the quiet of the dingy
boathouse. Fay stared.
ut won't! Why not?"
Because arrest you in the name
of the United States of America!"
A livid light spread over Fay's face.
He stared at the other speechlessly,
as though his vocal organs had sud
denly been stricken with paralysis.
Then he gasped strangely.

Fay's Plotting Career Ends.
Angrily Grant threw it at Fay's
on coming form and retreated to the
wall AS Fay reached him Grant
raised his foot and planted it squarely
on Fay's chest. With q strange in
human groan, Fay fell backward,
His career SIS a bomb plotter was
over.
The news of his arrest spread
quickly. Marsh's Inlet where the
boathouse was located was a rendez-
vous for many who came there to en-
joy the winter sports. The day after
Fay's arrest Dixie Mason came with

he would stop in three months the

The footsteps drew nearer. The
sergeant raised himself in prepara-

he stopped. Out Of the darkness
his superior officers voice came to
him in cultural accents.
Sergeant Fay, you are to report

Fay received the announcement

Des Moines. Sept. lS.--Unless street
car men receive relief from present
wage conditions, a general walkout is
threatened within a few days.
A strike vote, giving the executive
board of the union power to call a
strike any time within the next ten
days was passed unanimously at a
meeting o. all street car employees.
The action was brought about be-
cause the war labor board at Wash
+ington has continued to ignore the
local mems petition for an increase
sent in some weeks ago.
At present. motormen and conductors
are getting from 30 to IS cents an hour.
In their petition they asked to be rails
cd to So cents, but J. r. Wiley. secre-
tary OF the union. stated that they
probably would go on working for so
cents an hour

THE company appreciates that the
men need more money, but it is i'm

wages without an increase in fare he

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair. be careful
what you use Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious, as it dries the
scalp and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
tnulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
.1ything else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and few
ounces will last the whole family for
months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance Of rich. creamy lather cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and is

and easy to handle. Besides. 1t loosens
