Soldiers Bonus Decisions

SOt0tCTS oOUuS occasions
The resolve adopted by the people
at the last State election to amend
the Constitution SO that every person
;. who served in the World War from,
Maine would receive bonus of 500

questions, and the attorney generals

two of Chapter 264 of the public laws

The act contains no definition of
/; the term resident" says Deputy At
ftorney General Lawrence in his reply.
I'VE must therefore assume that It
was used in the ordinary legal sense
and imparts legal residence. A
minor retains the residence fixed by
the parental home unless he has been
emancipated. The mere fact OF his
physical presence in another state
, would not affect his status as a resi-
dent of this state. Emancipation IS d
question of fact which must be deter
mined upon the circumstances of each
, case"
Gives Board Discretion
The following is the second ques-
ton propounded by Adjutant General
Presson:
John Smith. a soldier, was killed in
action. He left as dependents
mother and father. The mother is q
moral pErvert and is confined in a
State reformatory institution.
Section eight of Chapter 264. pub
lie laws OF 1919. states that in paving
the bonus TO dependents the FOLLOWING
order as far as practicable should be
observed: Wife and children. mother
or father, brother or sister, other de-
pendents.'
I'm such cases as these, after being
satisfied as to the facts in each case,
has the Bonus Board the right to ex-
ercise its discretion and make pay...
ment to the father, if the Board is
satisfied that he is likely to make
more proper use Of the money than
the mother, and is in more necessitous
and dependent circumstances than
the mother, thus reversing the order
named in the statutes?"
The reply of Deputy Attorney Gem
eral Lawrence to this question was
as follows:
I'VE are satisfied that It was the
intention of the act to give your
Board wide discretion in determining
the dependents to whom the amount
Of the bonus should be paid in case OF
the soldiers death. You are to

CHAPTER X.
Condemned to Torture and Death.

Condemned to Torture and Death
La had followed her company and
when she saw them clawing and Bit
ing at Tarzan she raised her voice and
cautioned them not to kill him. She
saw that he was weakening and that
soon the greater numbers would pre-
vail over him, nor had she long to
wait before the mighty jungle crea-
ture lay helpless and bound at her
feet.
Bring him to the place at which we
stopped" she commanded, and they
carried Tarzan back to the little clear
ing and threw him down beneath a
tree.
Build me a shelter" ordered La.
I'VE shall stop here tonight and to-
morrow in the face of the Flaming
God La will offer up the heart of this
defiler of the temple. Where is the
sacred knife? Who took it from him ?"
But no one had seen it and each was
positive in his assurance that the sac
rificial weapon had not been upon
Tarzans person when they captured
him. The ape-man looked upon the
menacing creatures which surrounded
him and snarled his defiance. He
looked upon La and smiled. In the
face of death he was unafraid.
where is the knife?" La asked
him.
81 do not know" replied Tarzan.

strands that bound his wrists and
ankles, for he had strained often but
Intellectually for release. He had no
hope of outside help and only enemies
surrounded him within the camp. and
yet he smiled at La as she paced nerv-
ously back and forth the length of
the shelter.
And La? She fingered her knife and
looked down upon her captive. She
glared and muttered but she did not
strike. Tonight" she thought. ''To-
night, when it is dark l will torture
him." She looked upon his perfect,
godlike figure and upon his handsome,
smiling face and then she steeled her
heart again by thoughts of her love
spurned; by religious thoughts that
damned the infidel who had desecrated
the holy of holes; who had taken
from the blood-stained altar of Opar
the offering to the Flaming God-and
not once but thrice. Three times had
Tarzan cheated the god of her fathers
At the thought La paused and knelt
at his side. In her hand was a sharp
knife. She placed its point against
the ape-man's side and pressed upon
the hilt; but Tarzan only smiled and
shrugged his shoulders.

weird and terrible caravan in search
of him. There were fifty frightful
men with hairy bodies and gnarled
and crooked legs. They were armed
with knives and great bludgeons and
at their head marched an almost
naked woman, beautiful beyond COM
pare. 1t was La of Opar, High Priestess
of the Flaming God, and fifty of her
horrid priests searching for the pur
loiner of the sacred sacrificial knife.
Never before had La passed beyond
the crumbling outer walls of Opar !;
but never before had need been so in
sistent. The sacred knife was gone !
Handed down through countless ages
it had come to her as a heritage and
an insignia of her religious office and
regal authority from some long-dead
progenitor of lost and forgotten Allan
tbs. When that continent, with all its
mighty cities and it's cultivated fields
and great commerce and culture and
riches sank into the sea long ages
since, 1t took with it all but handful
of colonists working the vast gold
mines of central Africa. From these
and their degraded slaves and later
intermixture of the blood of the an
thropoids sprung the gnarled men of
Opar; but by some queer freak of fate,
aided by natural selection, the old At
lantean strain had remained pure and
undegraded in the females descended
from a single princess of the royal
house of Atlantis who had been in
Opar at the time of the great catas-
trophe. Such was La,
| Burning with white-hot anger was

Grated was triply enhanced by the rage
of a woman scorned Twice had she
thrown her heart at the feet of the
godlike ape-man and twice had she
been repulsed. Before TarZan came

seen a human male other than the gro

er or later that the direct line of high
priestesses might not be broken, un-
less fate should bring other men to
Opar.
Among the legends of Opar were
tales of godlike men of the olden time
and of black men who had come more
recently; but these latter had been
enemies who killed and robbed. And,
too, these legends always held forth
the hope that some day that nameless
continent from which their race had
sprung would rise once more out of
the sea and with slaves at the long
sweeps would send her earven, gold
packed galleys forth to succor the
long-eXiled colonistS.
The coming of Tarzan had aroused
within Las breast the wild hope that
at last the fulfillment of this ancient
prophecy was at hand; but more
strongly still had it aroused the hot

LANE TO LEAVE THE WILSON CABINET

Secretary Franklin X. Lane of the
department of the interior has made
the following statement concerning the
report that he has resigned from the
cabinet: II have not sent resigna
tion to the president nor even written
1t. but I do contemplate going out Of
the cabinet and have withheld talking
to the president about it because l do

thing to him about the matter and
that any mention of it now by anyone
would be needless annoyance"

that if he had been born in 1867 in
stead of 1864 they would not have to
speak of him as "Mr. Presidential I'm

what good was your knife, anywa.
You can make another. Did you fol

than knife? Let me go and find him
and will bring it back TO you"
La laughed bitter laugh, for in her
heart she knew that TarZan's sin was
greater than the purlolning of the sa-
cred sacrificial knife OF Opar; yet as
she looked at him lying bound and
helpless before her, tears rose to her
eyes so that she had to turn away to
hide them; but she remained inflexible
In her determination to make him pay
in frightful suffering and in eventual
death for daring to spurn the love of

while they worked they chanted weird
