MAYOR TAKES SCOUT OATH.

An event Of unique interest was the
taking of the oath Of the Boy Scouts Of
America by Mayor Hunter, Of Terre
Haute, Ind, rs part Of his Inaugural
ton ceremony. 1t is. undoubtedly the
first time this has been done in the
history of scouting In the United
States.
This will mean more than q mere
curious distinction for Terre Haute-
1t is a part Of the heralding to the
whole land that Terre Haute has shak-
en- off its old mantle. The principles
Of the scouts are universally recog-
nized, and the fact that the incoming
mayor Of Terre Haute has pledged
himself officially to these principles
speaks significantly to the world OF
what is to be expected Of Terre Haute
from now on.
As soon as the applause subsidized, a
scout stepped forward and presented
Mayor Hunter with reproduction OF
the Mckenzie statue Of boy scout
as a reminder that the boy scouts OF
Terre Haute were always ready at
the mayors service In his efforts for
q new and better Terre Haute.

SCOUTING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Boy scout training as program OF
education was given impetus ut re-
cent meeting Of the Boston School
Masters association.
Judge Sullivan spoke Of boy scout
training as a civic asset. The boy
scout movement, he urged, was show
ing grOwn-ups what real civic train
ing should be.
Superintendent Dyer advocated the
boy scout program as n complement
to the program of the public school.

CHAPTER XIx-Continued.

So far the mind of the Scotsman fol-
lowed the probabilities logically, but
at this point 1t made q jump. There
were at least two robbers. He was
morally sure Of that. for this was not
a one-man Job. Now, If Holt had with
him a companion. who Of all those In
Kusiak was the most likely man? He
was a friendless, grabbed old fellow.
Since coming to Kusiak old Gideon had
been seen constantly with one man.
They had been with each other at din
ner and had later left the hotel to-
gether. The name Of the man who had
been so friendly with old Holt was
Gordon Elliot-and Elliot not only was
another enemy Of Macdonald. but had
very good reasons for getting out Of
the country just now.
The strong Jaw Of the mine-ownef
stood out saliently as he gave short,
sharp orders to men In the crowd. One
was to get the coroner, a second Wally
Selfridge, another the United States
district attorney. He divided the rest
into squads to guard the roads leading
out Of town and to see that nobody
passed for the present.
The coroner took charge Of the body
and Wally Of the bank. The mine
owner and the district attorney walked
up to the hotel together. AS soon as

Two on the Trail.

Elliot and Holt left Kusiak in a
spume of whirling. binding snow
They travelled light. not more than
forty pounds to the dog. for they want
ed to make speed. 1t was not cold for
Alaska. They packed their fur coats
on the sled and wore mittens of
moosehide with duffel lining. on their
feet mukluks above German" socks.
Holt had been a sour-dough miner too
long to let his partner perspire from
overmuch clothing. He knew the dam
ger Of pneumonia from sudden cool
ing Of the heat of the body.
Old Gideon took seven Of his dogs,
driving them two abreast. Six were
huskies, rangy, muscular animals with
thick, dense coats. They were In the
best Of spirits and carried their tails
erect like their Malemute leader.
Butch, though Malemute, had a
strong strain of collie in him. 1t gave
him a sense of responsibility. His bus.
mess was to see that the team kept
strung out on the trail, and Butch was
q postmaster In the matter Of disci.

Fat Beauties,

Throughout the empire Of Morocco
and in Tunis there are villages where
the elder members Of the adult popu-
lation follow professionally the pursuit
of fattening young ladies for the mat
rimonial market Of Barbary.
The MOors, like the Turks and most
other Orientals, give q decided prefer
ence to "moon-faced" wives over lean
ones, and are more solicitous as to the
number Of pounds which their brides
weigh than about the stock Of accom-
plishments they possess.
A girl is put under the process Of
fattening when she is about twelve
years of age. Her hands are tied be-
hind her and she is seated on a carpet
during so many hours every day, while
her papa" stands over her with
stick, and her mother, at times. pops
into her mouth a ball Of stiff maize
porridge, kneaded up with grease and
just large enough to be swallowed
without the patient choking.
If the unfortunate girl declines to be
stuffed she is compelled by torture,
and gulps down the boluses, lest she
should be beaten.

Alaska Women Pretty.

A visitor remarked about the good
looks of Alaska women, and the fact
that they dress with taste, says the
Anchorage Times OF course, our
northern women are pretty. Why
shouldn't they be? They enjoy abso-
lutely pure air, drink water as fresh
ms that from mountain spring, get
plenty of exercise, and take an active
mart in community affairs. They are
cosmopolitan the same as the men are.
and well read and well informed. As
every one knows, there Is nothing so
beautiful as good health. 1t Is q Joy

the landlord got a passkey and took
them to the room Holt had used.
Apparently the bed had been slept
In. In the waste-paper basket the dis
trict attorney found something which
he held up In q significant silence.
Macdonald stepped forward and took
from him q small cloth sack.
"One Of those we keep our gold In
at the bank" said the Scotsman after
q close examination. This definitely
ties up Holt with the robbery. Now
for Elliot"
HE left the hotel with Holt about
five this morning, the porter says"
This was the contribution Of the land
lord.
The room of Gordon Elliot was In
great disorder. Garments had been
tossed on the bed and on every chair
and had been left to lie wherever they
had CHANGED to fall. Plainly their
owner had been In great haste.
Macdonald looked through the closet
where clothes hung. His new fur
coat Is not here-nor his trail boots.
Looks to me as though Mr.. Gordon had
hit the trail with his friend Holt"
AL doubt Of this was removed when
a prospector reached town with the
news that he had met Holt and Elliot
travelling toward the divide as fast as
they could drive the dogs.
The big Scotsman ordered his team
Of Siberian wolf-hounds made ready
for the trail. As he donned his heavy
furs, Colby Macdonald smiled with
deep satisfaction. He had Elliot on
the run at last.
Just as ne closed the door Of his
room. Macdonald heard the telephone
bell ring. He hesitated. then shrugged
bis shoulders and strobe out into the
storm. II he had answered the call
he would have leaened from Diane,
who was at the other end Of the line,
that the stage upon which Sheba had
started for Katma had not reached the
roadhouse at Smiths Crossing.
Five minutes later the winners Of
the great Alaska sweepstakes were
flying down the street In the teeth Of
the storm. Armed with a rifle and a
revolver. their owner was mushing into
the hills to bring back the men who
had robbed his bank and killed the
cashier. He Travelled alone because he
could go faster without a companion.

GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression In Business Reported Past
Year, Sale Of the Root Being
Much Below Normal.

The market for ginseng In Hong
kong and the China field generally
is depressed, and dealers look for lit
ward Chinese New Year. Usually
there Is n quickening In the trade as
cool weather comes on, but so far the
past year, and in spite Of the high ex-
change value Of silver which ought to
stimulate the trade. the sale Of the
root has been much below normal.
says Consul General George E. An
dersOn, HongkOng. Arrivals have been
below normal and the demand has
not kept pace with the supply. An auc-
ton of lot Of American root on con-
signment recently brought fair prices.
Two days later a similar lot Of as good
II not better root sold for little more
than half the price brought by the first
lot, and private sales made later were
on a still lower level. Uncertain po-
litical conditions in the interior Of
China are given as the chief reason
for the present slump in demand. but
uncertain financial conditions due to
the export Of silver and copper COIN
age from the provinces as well as the
existence Of piracy and other disorders
in some districts have also had ma
terial influence.
Sales have been irregular and the
market may improve at any time. The
root on hand Of course will get the
benefit of the improvement, while that
held in the United States will probably
arrive too late to secure full returns.
The ginseng business and all similar
lines Of trade in China are In an I'M

be placed upon the continuance Of any
conditions.
