The red-headed m:.n interrupted
with howl Of rage. "rf you're telling
1t straight. Bill Macy. I'll learn him to
spy on me-"
Elliot was sitting on one Of the beds.
He had not moved an inch since Macy
had appeared. but the brain behind his
live eyes was taking stock Of the situ-
alton. Big Bill blocked the doorway.
The table was in front of the window
Unless he could fight his way out, there
was no escape for him. He was
trapped.
Quietly Gordon looked from one to
another.
I'm not spying on you. My horse
Is lame. You can see that for your
self. All I asked was a nights lodg-

and that they had jumped to the con-
clusion that he had come to get evil
dence against them. But he knew that
never In his life had he been In tight
er noie. In another minute they would
attack him. Whether 1t would run
to murder he could not tell. At the
best he would be hammered helpless.
But no evidence OF this knowledge
appeared in his manner
Il didn't give my last name because
there is a prejudice against me in this
country" he explained In an even
voice.
He wondered ms he spoke II he had
better try to fling himself through the
window sash. There might be a re-
mote chance that he could make 1t.
The miner at the table killed this
possibility by rising and standing
squarely in the road.
Look out! He's got a gat."

Gordon fervently wished he had. But
| he was unarmed. While his eyes
quested for a weapon he played for
| time.
"You can't get away with this. you
know. The United States government
Is back Of me. It's known I left the
Willow Greek camp. Ill be traced

Through Gordon's mind there flashed
word Of advice once given him by
professional prizefghter: "If you
get In a rough house. don't wait for
the other felIo-. to hit first"
They Wee crouching for the attack.
In apctner moment they would be upon
him. Almost with one motion he
stopped, snatched up by the leg a
heavy stool. and sprang to the bed
upon which he had been sitting.
The four men closed with him In a
rush. They came at him low. their
heads protected by uplifted arms. His
memory brought to him a picture OF
the whitewashed gridiron of a football
field. and in it he saw vision Of
| safety.
The stool crashed down upon Big
Bill Macy's head. Gordon hurdled the

not be forgotten that the Huns while defeated have not shown trace of repentance for their infer nal conduct, They are at heart as ugly, mean, brutal and treaeherens as they ever were. They are like reptile with it's fangs drawR-and hope to have them grow again. + the Germans had any illusions about their standing with subject and con- quered people thsy now have their conceit joited by the ardent rap turous and enthusiastic manner in which the American, French and other Allied troops are welcomed in Aisace-borraine and Belgium Bristol Press.
 There is one national sword ppeemi- aently the shining one of the world, according to the chief swashbuckier, that should be converted into a ploughshare with all possible speed, for civilization has determined that as sword it must forever rust in it's scabbard.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

EVen under the new scale of prices it is painfully plain that a ton of coal requires no more room than it ever did,
 It didn't take the peone of Metz long to wreck the Hun statues after they realized that the Germans had gone eastward for good,
 lt looks as if the ex-kaiseTs fam fly was going to have better under standing of what the common people mean when they talk about moving day.
 The man on the corner says; It need not be expected even after the peace treaty is signed that there will not be all kinds of people in the world,
 The decision of Secretary DsnisIs to use the Eagle boats now building in the insular service means that a large waste of war money is going to be prevented
 Even though 1t may have taken Great Britain some time to get ge- ing, the big casualty list shows how great a sacrifice it made to see that right .was victorious. The fact that Gernany's fleet was 1 dismantled long ago to equip the IT. boats simply makes it unnecessary for that country to do as much work now in order to comply with the armis tice.
 In some places the idea of naming new streets after war heroes is being | adopted. But due care should be taken to see thar the streets are wor- thy of the names which they will l bear.
 Now that the censor has been dis charged we ought to hear some in teFesting inside stories of the war as well as many others regarding the wonderful strides which have beer made in perfecting our war machine This country has made an excellent record in developing a fighting ma chine and it is equally important that 1t should do as well in bringing about the demobilization, perfeeting the nee, essary readjustmehts and getting bach to a peace baGis.

NECK ORNAMENTS,

Possibly it may be heeause the front of the froeks are so extremely plain, and therefore women feel that they need some sort of deeaFa ton to relieve the rather flat looA, that all sorts of neck ornaments have found such great favor in the past few months. Once upon time we were quite content with a string of inli- tatien pearls, fhich could he worn with almost any froek. Bue today the demand is for an assortment that va ries in color and design, It might al- most be said that each froek has it's own heck ornament OF chain.
 The most popular style just at pFes- ent is what is known as the victory charm. These are usually large fiat, disk shaped pieces of either metal or eelluloid. Sometimes tha ofnamenta- tiops is in raised relief on the disk and again one sees a dessign that is carved. Still another variety is not only carved. but also inonEsted with cololed stones. Usually the victory charm hangs from a chain that en- fir rs the neck, so that the charm haV ss half way between the hollow If 'hr neck and the waistline. There k TO set rule that the charm must hang from a chain. for many of the smartly dressed women are wearing them attached to narrow black rib bon about the same length as the clans Speaking of the narrow black rib bon, under no circumstances should the narrow black ribbon with the white edge he worn. This is, as you know, the German ribbon and is the emblem of German sympa thizers. And no American would want a victory charm attached to 9 German ribbon

RETURN oF THE RAILROADS.

Action in accord with what was to be expected is that which has heen taken by the association of owners of railroad securities locking to the re- turn of the railroad properties to pri- vate ownership, or the prevention of action by the government which would further eemnlieate the return at the proper time.
 The railreads were taken over as a war measure. 1t was seen that they could be operated as single system to a much better advantage than un- der the previous plan of private con trol with it's confusion and liHita- tions. The roads were therefore taken ever as an emergency requirement. with the result that old time eempe- tition has disappeared, restrictions have been withdrawn; funds have been advanced by the government to pre- vide new equipment and rates have been advanced. Under the govern ment control the roads have been ai- lowed to do business in many respects as they had previously sought to do but were never permitted to.
 When the railways were taken it was stipulated in the legislation that the control might continue for a period of 21 months after the war, but there was no anticipation but what they would revert to their owners theFeaf- ter. and the stems which are being taken now are apparently for the pup- pose of assuring that return with the least difficulty.
 It IS no. to be expected that the railroads will be permitted to go back under the very same conditions which existed when they were taken Such would hardly be desirable in many re- speets. The experience which has come with the war has shown where new and better methods of operating 1.-the roads under private ownership could be secured. and it is but proper that they should be adopted, but that should not be allowed te stand in the way of the return of the roads as 1t was expected they would he returned ! when they were taken.

CLUB SANDWICHES.

Cheese has steadily iogged up in the scale of popularity until almost twice the amount is used today that was consumed this time last year, It has 9 great advantage in the fact that it is always ready and gan be eaten with. out further preparation, if preferred.
 In the form Of sandwich filler, it's possibilities are almost unlimited. Cream cheese has long been a favor ite, as II spreads readily, but equally good is the home made cottage cheese for this purpose. Here are some sus- gestiens for making club sandwiches by combining cottage cheese with Va rieus other ingredients:
 Make the sandwiches of three 2 sized slices of toasted wheatless bFead, one or more being spread thick
 ly with cottage cheese. Lettuce or wa ter eress and salad dressing are also used The rest of the filling may he varied to suit the taste or the larder The sandwich is cut diagonally across and served on an individual plate with the halves arranged in diamond shape It is desirable to toast the bread on enc side only and ta cut it immedi ately after toasting, as otherwise the pressure of cutting erushes out the
 cheese and spells the appearance oi the sandwich,
 The cut slices may be placed to- gether again, while the sandwich is being filled and the filling may bs sliced through with a sharp knife. IT addition to the cottage cheese, these club sandwiches may eentain:. l, To
 mate, lettuce, mayonnaise dressinsi 2, Thin sliced cold ham, spread witt mustard, lettuce, mayonnaise; 5, Sliced tart apple, nuts, lettuce, mayopnaisei L4, Sliced orange, watereress, mayon- naise: 5. Sliced Spanish onion, nimen- to- lettuce, mayonnaise; 6, Two tiny strins of bacon, lettuce mayennaisei F, Cucumber OF green pepper, pimento lettuce, mayennaise; 8, Sweet sand.
 wiehes may be made with layers O cottage cheese and marmalade or paste
 made of dried fruits, For these, th' bread need not be toasted and the let tuee any mayannaise should net hi used.

VOGUE OF TIE SASH.

However it is introduced the sash Is a. distinctive feature of the autumn frock. Even the tailored serge, fash ioned severely, with high collar and long tight sleeves. boasts q sash these dass-at least one chic model does the sash being of the material and terminating in wide bow at the nor- nal waistline in the back. Another use for the material sash is on the velvet froek. one example being an old rose velvet gown worn by a young girl in one of the aew plays, It is R delightfully."- simple gown, one-piece, medium width skirt and wide girdle and broad bow of the velvet A nar- now band of Kolinslly outlines the round neck and edges the modi6ed kin7eno sleeves.
 The sash, on the order of the sweat CT accessory, of medium width and finished with balls and tassels of silk, is still in vogue, and it is particulariy adapted to the trim little gown of tri- eolette or the equally supple weo Scrin.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS ME
 MORTAL

Many suggestions are being made relative to the action which should be taken to commemorate our soldier dead. There can be little or no ques- ton but what there will be fitting rec ognition taken in due time to this end by the erection of soldiers and sailors monuments even as was done in mem ory of the dead in other wars. and 1t is to be sincerely hoped that there will be no half century delay in this respect as was the case in some in- stances relative to the Civil war.
 The suggestions which have been made include memorial arches. some of which will be temporary and some permanent, but there comes from Washington a recommendation that memorial groves be planted to com memorate, the soldier dead. Such an idea is not without its good points. There is hardly community which cannot find an excellent and fitting place for such grove even in addi- tion to monument which would be even more permanent, but it would seem to be not bad idea if the grove plan did not meet with approval to lay out special highway CT take one that is already developed and flank it with trees on each side so that in the years to come it will be one of the at tTactive spots of a city or town It could be done with remarkably good results and with the understanding that as time goes on that such of the trees as fail to grow or those which may be destroyed from one cause or another should be replaced, meaning a perpetual victory highway.
 How extensively the recommenda- tion will be adopted cannot be fore told but 1t is certainly a move which every community should be anxious tc make as the least recognition to be shown to those who hara made suef great sacrifices, and especially to thoss who have been, maimed or will never return.

THE CASUALTY LIST.

That the casualty list as the result of the operations in Europe has mounted much higher than was esti- mated is shown by the announcement made by General March, chief of staff, tO tho effect that the total number up to the time of the signing of the ar mistice is 236,117. Under the first es- ,limate 100000 was the number it was considered would not be exceeded. Since then 1t has been figured that 105,0oo might be reached. Sc that it could not help but cause much sur- prise when the statement was made chat the total number Is more than twice that figure.
 The explanation for the heavy in- crease apparently lies in the fact that the complete list Is for large part made up of trivial wounds which have not been previously reported, wounds which did not necessitate hos 1ital treatment and which therefore lad not been included in the caSualty

6 SUGGESTIONS FOR

THE HOUSEWIFE
 In baking a cake it is we'll to re- member that a sponge cake requires q lower temperature than cake made with butter.
 Thin weolen blankets arc most prac- ticaI for country use in the winter. be- cause they can be easily faundered.
 Odd pieces of fruit, such as one banana, an apple or an orange, are mixed with lemon gelatin to advan- tage.
 Tough steak should be chopped and mixed with diced potatoes and then baked. Grated cheese over this dish improves the flavor. When closing the house for vaca- tion don't forget to leave the fires ready laid far lighting. Don't forget the cat and don't lock it i'll.
 Do not destroy any net from old curtains. Gut into squares of desired size and stitch together. and they will make excellent wash cloths, Don't handle the dough any more han, k~e asss.v en naking biscuits, doughnuts or cookies. Tlle more you handle it the tougher it will become. On your return from vacation don't i0TS6l to Aft lit6 WdteE sHI IOf SO4t1S minutes; it will put you on the safe side as regards water iaiefohes There is economy in buying some of the household supplies in bulk-blutng, soap and starch for instance, will all keep. Soap really improves with age. It is q good idea to put the fresh ly laundefed sheets at the bottom of the pile in the linen closet This makes lit possible ta give the sheets equal wear.
 In panering a room, remember that large patterns and dark eoiors make the room seem much smaller, and a plain paper. if light, VIII make it seem larger.
