CHAPTER w.

Eden awoke Sunday morning with
a prodigious thirst, which he slaked
at the water pitcher. 1t was the prac-
tice of Metford's gang to select one of
their number to care for all the horses
on Sundays while the others enjoyed
the luxury of their one day Of leisure.
In consequence of this custom the
room was still full Of snoring seepers
and the air was very close and foul
Dave sat down by the little table
that fronted the open window and
rested his head on his hands. He was
recalling, with considerable effort, the
events of the previous night; piecing
them together in impossible ways; re-
asserting them until they offered some
sequence. The anger he had felt
toward Coward had subsidized, but the
sting of shame ranked in his heart
Fool !" he said to himself And be-
cause he could think of no more spe-
cific expression to suit his feelings,
and because expression of any kind
brought sort of relief, he kept on
repeating the word, "FOOl! fool |!
fool p And as his elf-condemnation
gradually won him back to sense of
perspective he became aware of the
danger of his position. He had left
his ranch home to better himself. to
learn things, to rise to be somebody.
He had worked harder than ever be-
fore, at more disagreeable employ
ment; he had lived in conditions that
were almost nauseating-and what
had he learned? That you can't beat
card man at his own game, price
sixty dollars, and that the gallery
seats are cheaper and sometimes safer
| than the orchestra.
Then all of a sudden he thought of
Reenie. He had not thought of her
| much of late; he had been so busy
| in the days and so tired at nights that
| he had NOT thought of her much. Now
she burst upon him again with all that
| beauty and charm which had so mag
netized him in those glad, golden days.
and the frank cleanness of her girl
hood made him Disguised and
ashamed. 1t was to fit himself for her
| that he had come to town, and what
] sort of mess was he making Of 1t?

Life Without Microbes.

Microbes are not Indispensable to
all life if they are Indispensable to
any. The question has been definite
ly settled it is claimed by some au-
thorities.
A cage completely sterilized at 80
degrees was made and the openings of
the cage closely stopped with cotton
and protected from the outside by a
Theoretically closed metallic chamber.
Such manipulations as were necessary
in opening the cage were made by
hands guarded by aseptic rubber cloth.
Into such sterilized cage three hens
eggs were placed after having been
externally sterilized. The cage was
fitted with a glass pavilion or chicken
run, where the chickens could develop
during their six weeks sojourn in the
cage. In the cage were steriliZed air
pure water, sterilized sand and sterl-
lized feed.
The experiments showed that life
does not depend upon microbes, but
that the vital work Of the organism
is easy and natural when everything
Is steriliZed.

CHAPTER III-Continued.

/ Dawes duties were simple enough
He had to drive n wagon to coal
yard, where q very superior young
man, with a collar, would express sur
prise that he had been SO long gone,
and tell him to back in under chute
number so-and-so. 1t appeared to be
always matter of great distress TO
this young man that Dave did not
know which chute to back under until
he was told. Having backed into po-
sition door was opened. There was
a fiction that the coal in the bin should
then run into the wagon box, but, as
Dave at once discovered, this was
merely fiction. Aside from few
accommodating Jumps near the door
the coal had TO be shoveled. Then
Dave had to drive to an address that
was given him, shovel the coal down
a chute located in the most inacces-
slble position the premises afforded,
and return to the coalyard, where the
young man with the collar would face
tious1y inquire whether Mrs. Blank
had invited him in TO afternoon tea,
or if he had been waiting for change
In the weather.
His work and supper were over by
seven o'clock each evening, and now
was the opportunity for him to begin
the schooling for which he had left
the ranch. But he developed sud
den Discrimination to make the start !;
he was tired in the evening, and he
found it much more to his liking to
stroll downtown, smoke cigarettes on
the street corners, or engage in an
occasional game of pool. In this way
the weeks went by, and when his
month with Metford was up he had
neglected to find another position, so
he continued where he was. He was
being gradually and unconsciously
submerged in an inertia which, how
ever much it might hate its present
surroundings, had not the spirit to
seek a more favorable environment.
SO the fall and winter drifted along /;
Dave had made few acquaintance and
no friends, If we except Coward,
whom he frequently met in the pool
rooms and for whom he had developed
sort of attachment.
One Saturday evening, as Dave was
on his way to their accustomed resort,
he fell in with Coward on the street.
"Hello, old man !" said Coward
cheerily. II was just looking for you.
Judsonia weekly advance., 1919-11-27

He was going down instead of up. He
had sQuandered his little money, and
now he was squandering his life. He
had been drunk.
Dawes nature was one In which
emotions were accelerated with their
own intensity. And the sudden man
ner in which Reenie had now invaded
his consciousness intensified the black
ness in which he was submerged, as
lightning darkens the storm :.
He saw her on that last night, with
the moonlight wooing her white face
until his own body had eclipsed it in
a warmer passion, and he heard her
words, II know you are erue and

True and clean. "Yes, thank God

suddenly to his feet and commencing
to dress. 1--WE been spattered, but

thought struck him-"perhaps it was

"She's maxim fun of me-" he said,
IAN l don't stand for that. Nobody
can do that with me. Nobody-see :?
| don't low it,"
"Oh, you don't?" laughed one of the
girls, running into a corner and point
ing her finger at him. "You don't?"
He turned his attention to her,
steadying himself very carefully be-
fore he attempted an advance. Then,
with wide-stretched arms, he bore
down cautiously upon her. When he
had her almost within reach she dart
ed along the edge of the room. He
attempted sudden change in direc-
ton. which ended disastrously, and he
found himself very much sprawled out
upon the floor. He was aware of
laughter, but what cared he? He was
disposed to sleep. What better place
to sleep than this? What better time
to sleep than this? In moment he
was lost to all consciousness. :.
1t was later in the night when he
felt himself being dragged into sit
ting posture. "Where am II" he said.

room in returning consciousness.
"Where's the girls?" he asked.
"Gone," said Coward sulkily.
Couldn't expect 'em to stick around
all night to say goodby, could you.
and you sleeping off your drunk?'
Dave raised his hand to his head.
A sense of disgrace was already upon
him. Then he suddenly turned in an
ger on Coward. "You put this up on
me-" he cried. "You made fool of
me. I've mind to bash your skull in
for you"
Don't be silly" Coward retorted.

FIRST SETTLERS IN GEORGIA

City Of Savannah.

The first white settlers in Georgia
landed at Yamacraw bluffs, on the site
of the future city Of Savannah. 1SG
years ago, and the event is now an
nually commemorated as Georgia
day." James Oglethorpe was the lead
er Of the colonlsts, who made the trip
from England in the good ship Ann,
commanded by Capt. John Thomas. and
the party included 35 families, besides
General Oglethorpe and Rev. Thomas
Bosomworth. Through Mary Mus
grave, the Indian wife Of a Carolina
white man, the colonists obtained the
consent of the Creeks to establish a
settlement, Mary acting as Interpreter,
accounts say. Just week later the
first house was commenced and the
settlement that sprang up on the spot
later became the city Of Savannah. It
iss noteworthy that Hebrews were
among the first settlers In Georgia.
Forty Jews were sent out to the col.
ony and reached Savannah in the July
following Oglethorpe's landing. A
government was soon organized and
one of the first acts Of the trustees,
passed in August of 1888, was to pro-
hlbit rum in Georgia. Before the year
was passed a party of Saxons ana an
other of Bavarians reached Georgia.

General Condition
OF Oregon Crops


Harvest of winter wheat continues
thruout Oregon with results varying
from almost absolute failure to the
best on record. However, in the
principal wheat growing counties the
yield Is generally as good as was ex-
pected according to the weekly
weather and crop report of the
weather bureau here.
High temperature prevailed at the
first Of last week but there was
change to cooler about the middle OF
the week, the temperature in some
localities falling almost to freezing.
The temperature toward the close OF
the week was again above normal.
A large number of thunderstorms
occurred in various parts of Oregon
but the amount of rainfall general
ly was. too small to be of benefit 10
crops, to quench forest fires or to
seriously delay farm work. Many for
est fires were started by lightning.
Water for irrigation is becoming
scarce in many localities.
Harvest Of spring wheat and oats
is progressing except in the more
elevated districts. The crop is light
excepting in the western counties and
where irrigated. Irrigated corn IS
good. Unirrigated corn needs rain.
but except over limited areas has
not been injured by drouth. Ears
are forming in Josephine and Ma
leur counties. =
Apricots still are in the market.
Peaches and early apples are being,
marketed h increasing quantities.
Picking of raspberries and loganber-
ries is approaching completion in
most sections and picking of black
berries is in full progress. Ever
green blackberries are ripening.
Haying is generally complete ex-
cept for the late cutting of alfalfa
and clover. Where not irrigatef
these crops need rain The second
and third crops OF alfalfa will bo
short in some places, owing to the
scarcity of irrigation water. The
third crop of alfalfa is approaching
maturity in parts of Umatilla coun-
ty. Pastures and ranges are very
dry but there is little complaint OF
shortage of feed and stock is gener-
ally inrair to good condition.
Potatoes and all unirrigated gar
den vegetables need rain. Some early
potatoes suffered from blight. The
market is fairly well supplied with
potatoes and vegetables. Hops are
doing well.
