Victory Liberty Loan Drive, Procia-
nation Of Mayor Jno. H. Hamer.

Whereas, the struggle between De
mocracy and Autocracy has been de-
termined in favor. of the government
of the free peoples Of the world; and
our friends, sons and daughters are
now returning from Europe to our
homes with the knowledge ola task
well done, with the consciousness OF
having done their duty in this great
struggle by offering their bodies as
a living sacrifice TO their country.
And Whereas. We the people Of the
Town of Dillon and surrounding coun-
try have been allowed to remain at
home, protected by those worthy
young men, who went across the seas
to fight our. battles and under their
protection have enjoyed an era of
prosperity unequalled in the history
of the world, and are now wealth
ier and more prosperous than we have
ever been before. And whereas that
very prosperity was made possible to
us by the fact that there was a strug-
gle in which the lives of our fellow
men were sacrificed. (
And Whereas, as aforesaid we were
allowed by circumstances to take ad-
vantage Of this unprecedented pros
perity and now have more money
than we ever had before. 1t behooves
us, the people of the town of Dillon
and County of Dillon to give thanks
for all of the blessings that have been
given to us; and especially to snow
our appreciation to those men VINO
have gone across the seas and sac
rificed their lives for us and to re-
solve to finish the task that was laid
upon the American people by tne
challenge Of autocracy.
This task, the completion of the
undertaking, lies upon us who re-
mained at home, and that task Is TO
back up the boys who did go to the
front by paying some small part OF
all this unprecedented prosperity
into the Treasury Of our Govern
ment, so the Government may take
care of those boys and pay the ex-
penses of the war. The Government
does not ask us to give this amount
of money, but only to lend it.
Know then be it known to all men,
That 1, John H. Hamer, by the SUI
frage of the Town of Dillon, Mayor,
do hereby proclaim and designate a
period of 21 days, beginning on the
21 day of April and ending on the
12 day of May to be devoted by all
patriotic people of our town and
county to the raising and subscrib-
ing of our pro rata part of the Vic
tory Liberty Loan, and do request
all people to give this loan their
moral and financial support so that
the same may be successfully car
ried out.
Given under my hand and seal this
the twenty-second day of April, IN
the year of our Lord, one Thousand
nine hundred and nineteen. \

CHAPTER XII.

The memory OF that tragic mcmen
Andrea's mind by reason Of the sight
OF the collapse of MaCCloster's bulk,
hut by what followed Immediately
after Never could she forget the
sudden sitting OF the uiuluing and the
instantaneous smile, broadening TO a
grin, that dawned on the face OF every
native.
The black throng backed step by
step before the terrific heat of the
flaming Gaia. Their scorching faces
glistened with sweat, but their eyes
hung grcedily or the crumpled, sprawl
ing mass that was all that was left OF
Manchester. In the pleasurao!e sur
felt of the moment they were careless
Of the fact that the doom Of the eatire
craal was fixed.
Trevor turned on them IN white
rage and with a well-aimed bullet shot
an asSegal from between the legs OF a
great hulking brute whose mouth was
slaverinC with revolving enjoyment Of
the scene. The blacks face went gray
with fright; his eyes came back with a
snap from their sensual feast. Many
Os his companions laughed aloud, but
others only licked thick lips in bestial
hunger for more slaughter.
Your cried Trevor, pressing the
muzzle Of his revolver into the CULVER
ing naked stomach Of the man he had
frightened Get your crew together.
Take me home"
Half an hour later Andrea found
herself once mere in MacCloster's
boat, but in spite Of the fact that all
its appointments and the crew were
the same with the exception of the one
black who had been killed, it seemed
utterly strange to her eyes, now no
longer glazed by misery. She turned
to Trevor, who had not spoken to her
since first he had Joined her in the
Gaia. 1.-THE boat is quite different" she
said. cts as though I saw 1t for the
first time"
He gave her no answer beyond a
at her. His eyes were fastened far
ahead on the river. tracing out the
swirl Of the current and deep water.
A troubled look came into Andrea s
face; she glanced ut him and her lips
parted twice in the half:smile that
precedes kindly speech. "You think ]
ought to thank your" she asked. II
haven't the words; If tried my heart
would choke me-"
Thank me?" said Trevor, casting
her a casual look "What for?"
Andrea's lips trembled. If only the
fire hadn't happened just when it did,
she thought, if only 1t had given him
time to find her. to take her In his
arms. For saving me-" she answered
simply.
For saving nothing" affirmed Ire
vor. "Tor saving the nothing that is
left Of your beauty and freshness and
honor after the touch Of that beast"
Overwhelming shame stained her
cheeks; she felt all that was noble and
generous within her shriveling into q
strangling knot. She tried to speak,
to protest against his hardness and in
justice, but she could only gulp. For
hours they sat in absolute silence, and
gradually the cold that had struck her
heart spread through all her body un-
til her teeth began to chatter.
"Why are you doing that?' asked
Trevor sharplv. 1T isn't really cold

He Wears a Necklace.

Did you ever hear of a man wear

the male Canadian warbler does, while
on the female of this attractive bird

SILVER IS KING IN ARIZONA
Old and New Mines Are Being Opened
After Peace Brought Slump
in Cooper.

Silver is king again in Arizona, says
c. P. Reiniger, president of the AS
sOciation of Arizona Mining Men, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Ledger's
Phoenix correspondent. With the cop
per market stagnant as a result of the
cessation of war requirements, the de-
mands for white metal are pouring in
from all quarters Of the globe. Many
of the producers are replacing their
copper handling equipment with
plants to turn out silver.
e "There is a big demand for silver
in China and Indiai" says George D.
Bethune of Globe. "The United States
government is filling it at 81 an ounce,
the same price at which it is supplying
2OOOOO,OOO ounces of the metal to the
British government on contract"
Years. ago, when Tombstone was at
the height of its fame, Arizona was
great silver producer. Then came the
slump. Copper was discovered. Last
year, according to the estimate of the
United States geological survey, Ari-
iona produced $192OO0,O0O worth Of
copper. "Give us copper" was the
cry from the United States and the
allies.
With the armistice conditions
changed overnight. One billion pounds
of copper, more than a third Of which
was Arizona production, are estimated
to be awaiting sale. So copper Is
down and silver is up.
Surveys of the state indicate that in
the Prescott and Tucson mines silver
predOminates over the other metals
in Bisbee, Jerome, Globe and AjO It's
values as a by-prOduct run heavily.
From the neighbOrhOod of Prescott
come reports of the revival of old sill
yer mines. Battle Flat, scene Of a
sanguinary Indian fight in the seven
ties, is reported to have yielded new
discoveries of silver, and two fresh
camps have been opened ON this spur
of the northern slope of the Brad
shawS.
