An Aviator's Farewell.

Monsignor de Gibcrgucs, bishop Of
Valence, has lost his seventh nephew
in the war-M. Anthelme de Gibergues,
amongst whose papers was found the
following moving letter of farewell ad-
dressed to his parents:
''If one day, with wings broken in
the blue heavens, I fall to the earth
and return to God, may these lines car
ry to my father and mother the last
thoughts, desires and dreams of the
son they loved so tenderly. AS my
body nears the earth, my soul will
soar to unknown heights, and the sep
aration will be victory. 1t will be a
full-hearted 'Magnif1cent;;' adoring
prayer Of expiation for what have
left undone rather than for what
have done. And lastly it will be aasup-
plant cry which cannot but be heard
for everlasting life, for strength and
comfort for those I leave behind. and
Tor mercy and glory for beloved
France, the coming Of the Kingdom Of
God"

Fishing on Sunday.

Sunday fishing, which has long been
looked upon as sacrilegious in the Isle
of Man, threatens to lose some of its
terrors for the "unco guid," notes an
exchange. Until recently the North OF
England and Scotch fishermen engaged
in the Manx herring trade have kept
Sunday so vigorously that they have
remained in port from Saturday morn
ing to Monday afternoon. Fishermen
from the South, resenting the loss Of
two nights fishing, have tried to break
through the tradition and Fleetwood
boat put out to sea one Sunday eve
ming recently, returning the next day
with a good catch. The buyers at frs,
looked askance at the herring as "Sun
day-caught," but finally they We're solt
at q fair price.

had no power of resistance left; he
was already putty in her hands.
True, but would he remain so? The
game she played was dangerous one;
if she ventured too far she would dis
cover the brute lurking in him still.
And he had the power, the physical
power, to wreak vengeance once he
suspicioned deceit. And there was no
one to help her if she made a single
false step-absolutely no one; she was
lamb among wolves. Those fellows
would never release me again, not for
a moment. I would be compelled to
take observations, to calculate posi-
tion, to trace our sailing course on the
chart, but not for an instant would 1
be left again unguarded, either on
deck or in the cabin. Mccain would
see to that.
The afternoon passed. dragging it's
weary hours, Nothing happened to re-
lieve the monotony and dread of soli-
tude. No one approached the door of
the stateroom, not even to offer me
food, and my ears were able to dis
tinguish no sound of movement in the
main cabin. Occasionally footsteps
passed along the deck overhead, and
once or twice heard the voice of Liv-
erpool sing out some order to the men
forward. The sun sank, it's rays CLINT
ing across the waters, and telling me
the ship held to its southwest course,
but the ocean. so far as / could see,
remained desolate, the horizon unbro-
ken by a CLEAN Of sail, or smudge Of
smoke. No echo of a cry reached me
from any lookout aloft. The vessel
proceeded quietly, no effort being
made, apparently, to achieve speed. 1
judged our rate would not exceed eight
knots, and decided there was either
scarcity Of men in the stokehole, or
else they were conserving fuel to at
tain greater speed during the hours
Of darkness. The bright sunlight be.

Ing does that give?"

Ing does that give?"
"Over two hundred"
He studied the map few moments
longer, the three men talking earnest
ly while l left them, and walked over
to the starboard rail. 1t was Of no
particular interest to me where they
decided to go-the one port meant the
same to me as another. McCann got
up, rolling the chart in his hand.
"There is no use, then," he called,
'of our going farther north?"
1 turned and faced him.
"Not If your port is st. Johns; the
course would be sou'-sou'west. Is
there anything more wanted of me at
PRESENT.
McCann turned and spoke to the
others, both answering him in low
tones.
"No," he said stifi1y. 1--WE will send
for you If you are needed again on
deck"
II am expected to keep below?"
"Below, and to your stateroom. II
you attempt to converse with any of
the crew, you will be locked in"
passed them without a word, and
clambered down the ladder to the main
deck, aware Of the grinning faces Of
the men at the wheel. Humiliating as
the situation was, this was no time for
resistance, or the exhibiting of spirit
Of revolt. White crossed over to the
rail and watched until vanished with
in the companion. realized his pres
ence without so much as glancing up.
- There came to me, as paused at the
foot of the stairs, sudden eagerness
to speak to Vera, to explain to her the
situation, and bring to her a word of
comfort. I crossed over hastily and

The Knockers Prayer.

Ihe knockers prayer.
In the case of Bloodworth VS. Times
Publishing Company, 1913 Southwest
arn Reporter, 527, Justice Wood of
the Arkansas supreme court said, in
substance, that where defendants in
one part of it's paper referred to plain
tiff as "knocker," and it was alleged
that he was the person specifically
meant, it furnished the necessary col
loquium to show that the following
prayer published in the same paper
applied to the plaintiff:
"The Knockers Prayer: Lord, please
don't let this town grow. I've been
here for many years, and during that
time I have fought every public i'm
provement. I've knocked on every
thing and everybody. No firm or in
dividual has established business
here without my doing all I could to
put them out of business. I've lied
about them, and would have stolen
from them, if 1 had the courage. I
am against building new church, even
though gave nothing. 1 am against
the electric light franchise being
granted to George Booser, George
Washington, or Jim Tom. 1t pains
me, oh Lord, to see that in spite of
my knocking the town is growing.
Then, too, more people might come
here, which would cause me to lose
some of my pull. I ask, therefore, to
keep this town at a standstill, that
may be one of the chiefs. Amen P'-
The Docket.

but no response. With lips close to
the wood, 1 spoke"
''Miss Vera"
"Who is it?" ..."... ...
Hollis; may I have a word?"
The key turned, and she stood facing
me, her eyes filled with startled well
come.
"Why-I thought; they told me-oh
I am so glad!"
'They told you what?" ..
"Why, nothing direct. But there was
fighting last night. II heard the
struggle on deck, and then here in the
cabin; and when 1 started to leave
my room I encountered Mccain and
some of the crew. They were dragging
Leayord down the stairs, and his face
was all blood"
"You were not injured?"
'No; the big man with the red hair
threatened me, but McCann interfered,
and thrust me back into the stateroom.
He told me to lock the door, and not
to make any noise. IL thought they
had killed you"
'Well, they tried hard enough, but,
as you see, I am very much alive still.
They trapped me in the forecastle.
Do you know what has become Of the
others?" ...
She shook her head.
"What I've told Is all know. Those
villains have control Of the ship?"
related the story to her swiftly,
concealing nothing. At the last she
asked:
"That is all7 You know no more7"
'No."
/ '.Then the others must be alive. and
on board. Surely you would have
heard IL any had been killedw
II believe so; they would not kill IF
possible to avoid 1t, as such a crime
would render their own case more des-
-perate."
"What-.-what are you going to do3";
Frankly, Miss Vera, I do not know"
confessed. II have had no time to
think, and my head still throbs so from
blows that I hardly realize the situa-
tlon. 1 cannot hope to fight these men
alone, and there can be no immediate
danger they are sailing the ship
toward st. Johns"
You believe they will take to the
boats, and leave us aboard?"
THAT would be their only safe
course. They would never dare sail
the Indian Chief into that, or any
other harbor. They must land as ship.

CHAPTER Xviii.

A Compromise and an Interruption.
Except for the absence of the regu-

not have known any especial change

Outwardly everything appeared about
as usual as I emerged behind Liver
pool, with McCann trailing behind. The
latter paused to insert the key into the
lock of the door, and INDUCED in one
swift glance about the apartment.
"Bascom occupies his own state

Liverpool nodded ungraciously
enough.
"And Miss Darlington retains hers?"

Realizing that silence was my best

There were two men at the wheel.

recognized both faces, but couldn't re-
call their names; the shorter fellow,
deeply pitted, exhibited fresh scar
where l had struck him with my boot
heel the night before. He grinned good
inaturedly, and pointed to the bruised
flesh, as I caught lis eye. White was
evidently the temporary officer in
charge, and the brutality of his face
was clearly revealed in the bright light
as he leaned against the rail. How.
ever, had scarcely time to more than
glance about, as the sun was already
at the zenith. The others stood around
silent, watching as I figured out our
position on the back of an old enve-
lope. I took my time at it, not only
from my own anxiety to be accurate,
but also because of other thoughts In
my mind, yet the calculation was COM
pleted at last, and I lifted my eyes
to McCann's gaze.

THRIFT

Young man, l don't want to hurt
you. want to help you. l am old
er than you are and have paid for
what l offer free.
Our house of Life is made in three
stages: youth, when we lay it's
foundation, middle age, when we
build, old age, when the roof begins
to leak and the walls to sag. Age
can not get away from youth. Youth
can not escape from age.
The money you did not invest yes
to-day will never bear you any in
terest.
The intention you had last week
TO begin Saving something before
long will never bring you any divi-
dends.
What you were going to do has no
value in the world.
What you have done will grow,
viii bear interest, all your life--one
way or the other.
The hen that sits on an empty nest
matches nothing, no matter how
much she clucks.
The farmer who has no seed in his
sack raises no wheat, no matter how
much he pretends to SOW.
Youth is seed time. Middle age is
harvest. Old age?-Ah, then it is
too late. Only the granaries, filled
or empty, are of interest to old age.
| A cent planted by Adam and COM
pounded until now would reach from
here to the sun with a boardwalk of
gold planks.
But as no eggless nest ever raised
a single chicken,
So no unsaved cent ever grew into
dollar.
We owe thrift to our country.
We owe thoughtfulness to our
God
Thrift stamps give you the habit.

SILVER LOVING CUP
OFFERED AS PRIZE

\ beautiful silver loving cup is
offered by the Third Liberty Loan
committee for this district to the per-
son who shall suggest the most APP
propriate indicator of the progress of
the drive in April The character of
the indicator has no limitation ex-
cept that it must be something which
can be erected, hung or displayed at
a prominent place in Spokane where
1t will be viewed by thousands every
day. Its purpose is to mark the prog
ress of the campaign and the indi-
Gator should be something which can
be added to daily and at the same
time preserve the general effect In
former campaigns a huge thermom-
eter, big clock and n soldier have
been built up piece by piece. The
purpose now is to secure something
new and striking.
The contest is open to any person
in the United States regardless of
age and there are no conditions of
any nature except that the sugges-
tons must be in the hands of the
committee by six o'clock p. m. March
30. a person may send in as many
suggestions as desired
The prize cup will be engraved
with the name of the winner and the
terms of the contest under which it
was awarded. 1t is hoped that com
petition will be stimulated because
OF the patriotic nature of the contest
and not because of the intrinsic value
of the prize. The cup is paid for
from contributions made by members
of the Liberty Loan committee for
the nine districts of eastern Wash
ington included in the campaign
These counties are Ferry, Stevens
Pend Orielle, Lincoln, Spokane, Whit
man. Adams, Asotin, and Franklin
All suggestions should be mailed
to Bert Iilborn, chairman, contest
committee, Review building. Spo-
kane. !
