The Jail at Zapatillo was a structure
in which one would not particularly
care to remain for a prolonged period.
The intensely hot, humid day made
the walls reek with a stencil from the
insanitary conditions which always
prevail in prisons, no matter how well
cleaned.
The food was unspeakable; the wa
ter insufficient and unpalatable.
Buck Williams and Jitendra jointly
occupied a black, fetid hole on the
level of the street. It opened on the
corridor, not far from the main gate.
A soldier in the passage guarded
them, Notwithstanding the thick earth
en- walls, with oak doors, traversed by
heavy bars of wrought iron, which, of
themselves, were certainly capable of
OBTAINING two men without tools to
burrow or gnaw through them.
The American had not willingly en-.
tered the cell.
In fact, he had strenuously objected.
In terse Spanish idiom he demanded
to be first taken before the jefe po-
litico, an official corresponding to a
circuit judge in his own country.
His demand was ignored. Then the
tiger in him boiled up. His hands had
been unbound after the main gate of
the prison closed behind him. With
characteristic, desperate courage, Buck
hurled himself on a soldier and seized
his weapon.
But the others, with q sinister de-
liberation, considering the mine own
mysterious and malign influence was
behind his seizure, covered him-and
they were twelve to one
For a moment the foul atmosphere
of the carcel was surcharged with an
impending tragedy.
Buck, glaring with malevolent eyes
into the faces of his guards, knew that
he could never hope to leave that hor-
rible hole alive if he persisted in his
frantic impulse to force his way out
against suck odds.
A curious sense of helplessness over

be ebbing away. He paused, irreso-
lutely, unheeding the sharp command
Of the captain of the guard to surren-
der.
Jitendra, impressive as a sphinx,
stood aside, but the glitter of his shy,
brown eyes showed that no detail of
the scene before him was unnoticed.
The rife ratified to the earth at Bucks
feet.
He turned at the imperative gesture
Of the commanding officer and meekly
entered the cell toward which he and
Jitendra had been walking. Inside the
cell, once the door closed behind them,
the light was dim.
JitendTa submissively seated himself
crOss-legged in one corner and re-
NAMED utterly silent. The American,
inwardly raging at his own %unaccount-
able surrender and the memory of the
injustice to which he had been subject
ed, paced up and down, true to his
designation Of "El Tigre."
The Hindu looked at him calmly.
"Sahib Buck wishes to leave this
placer
Leave it?' roared the American.
"Did try to break into it?"
He loosened the collar Of his shirt
and mopped the perspiration from his
neck. The foul apology for air was
suGfocating.
"gee here, Jitendra, do you want to
hegI me get out?"
"Assuredly, sahib."

the civil war who fought for the

the district heads while the voters In
the towns, or their representatives,
have final disposition and approval.
The county unit has been pien-
did success in the states of the West
and Middle West, and while we In
Vermont are not ready to give up our
independent democracies, changed
conditions have compelled the strictly
local view of roads and schools to give
way.
The old school district is hardly
possible today, when so many families
move from one place to another and
the school courses and methods must
in some measure fit the child's prog
ress, wherever he may go. Few
families today grow up in a neighbor-
hood, marry and settle again in the
same neighborhood. So with the
great migratory inclination today
education must be standardized more
than it was so years ago.
And with highways, the day when
every man kept his own bit of road
can hardly be conceived. The auto
mobile has brought all parts of the
state as near together as was the old
east Hip or Burke Hollow" neigh
borhood, so years ago.
So with the changing conditions
our visions and plans must grow and
broaden, and as we left the school
district plan for broader things, let
us consider even broader plans than
that of town lines. We must grow
with the times, but we are too proud
of our Vermont town democracies to
see them vanquished or carved in
pieces. Rather let US merge our in
terests for the common purpose of
preserving rural town life, which is
after all the bulwark of our civiliza-
ton. Can we do it better than by a
broadened community vision founded
upon some such plan as that suggest

There can be no doubt that the
situation regarding the spread OF
inuucnza throughout the county 5
one of grave concern. Its quite true
that the number of cases does not
constitutean epidemic such as caused
the suffering and sorrow during the
terrible days of 1918. Yet there Is
no Disgusting the fact that everyone
should be on their guard against the
disease.
In one city alone, from January
Doth to February 21St, three thousand,
one hundred and ttUenty-ttUo cases OF
Influenza and 139 deaths from the
disease were reported to the Health
Departments
If the outbreak had come at the
beginning of the winter instead OF
the end, we might reasonably feel
that the very cold weather would
check the spread of the disease. But
coming as it has, at the end Of the
winter, there is grave fear that an
epidemic may occur. For spring,
with its slush and rain under foot,
it's dampness and chill, its constant
changing from cold to warm and
back again, is a prolific source OF
coughs and colds, pleurisy and
pneumonia.
The best protection, in fact, the
only safeguard against the Flu, Is,

All this talk about prohibition and

into accepting some candidate or some

didate for governor who fiirts with
prohibition is only doing so to get
votes and that is cheap politics. A

willing to make his personal position
