Value Of Obstacles.

We were talking with a gentleman
the other day about the rise Of
boys snd young men, and he had
many observations to relate. all Of
which taught the lesson that success
starts with obstacles. A young man
who has had no obstacles to sur
mount will seldom be successful In
any department Of life he may enter.

Ashes should be kept level with the

keeps on burning slowly and assists

Two or three blocks on the nndiroos

To check the IRE. ashes are shov-
eled over one or more Of the blocks,
covering lightly all the burning wood.
This will not put out the nrs; It will

SPECIAL NOTICE.

To our Patrons who have followed
the House of Hate from week to
week and were prevented from see
ing the last chapter by the action Of
the Board Of Health, we print below
a synopsis of the last episode.
Pearl and Gresham stand in the
sitting room of the Walden home
watching for the Hooded Terror to
enter at the secret doorway.
Presently the door opens and as
the Terror stealthily creeps through,
Gresham fires and kills him. When
This mask is removed he proves to be
the brother Of Haynes Waldon, whom
Haynes told of just before his death
in last weeks episode. t.cc'sstt::
Now that the Hooded Terror is
dead, pease and happiness reigns at
Waldoncllft and quite naturally Pearl
and Gresham are married. After
the honeymoon Gresham enters a
training camp and is commissioned
as captain, but before he goes across
he goes back to the underworld
friends Of the Hooded Terror and
makes all Of them enlist in the SER
vices of Uncle Sam.
The next scene shows Gresham> at
the head of his company chasing the
Germans back across the Rhine. A
shell bursts and he is wounded. A
Red Cross ambulance rushes up--the
driver jumps out, goes to Gresham's
side, takes his head in her lap, con-
sciousness returns, he opens his eyes
