PERFECTION NOT OFTEN SEEN
Assertion Made That Not One Person

iutely Sane.

Perfect health OF mind and body are
both exceedingly rare. Not one "civi-
lized" person out of ten thousand Is
perfectly healthy. Not one civilized
person out of ten thousand Is perfectly
sane. That is to say. absolutely level
headed in all respects not attaching
undue Importance to his own hobby,
and with no prejudices against new
ideas, able to appreciate the other side
Of the question and to change his

Sanity has been defined as "the abIl-
ity to accommodate oneself to ones

Those who decry the manners and
customs OF other races or people,
merely because they are different from
their own are not entirely sane.-Los

Memorial 10 Norsemen.

Nearly five centuries before Column
bus sailed TO America, according to
some historians, a party of Norsemen
landed on the northeastern coast of
the continent, and a few years later
established a colony. AS a memorial
to these early explorers rough stone
tower has been erected at Auburndale,
Mass, town that is believed to oc-
cupy the same site as the legendary
settlement. Investigation has failed
to reveal any traces of building ruins
In the vicinity. but has resulted in the
finding of several old stone walks,
which are thought TO have been con-
strueted hy tho Inhabitants of the an

CHAPTER v.
Inearcsrated,


The jail at ZapatillO was structure
In which one would not particularly
care to remain for 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 q black, fetid hole on the
level Of the street. Tt opened on the
corridor, not far from the main gate.
s 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
circuit Judge in his own country.
His demand was ignored. Then the
tiger In him boilei up. Els 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 sinister de-
liberation, considering NE mine own
er's preconceived theory that some
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 IL he persisted In his
frantic impulse to force his way out
against such odds.
A curious sense Of helplessness over.
whelmed him his strength seemed to
be ebbing away. He paused, irreso-
lutely, unheeding the sharp command
Of the captain OF the guard to surren'
der.
Jitendra, impassive as a sphinx
stood aside, but the glitter Of his shy
brown eyes showed that no detail Of
the scene before him was unnotieed

feet.

GROUND UNDER HEAVY TAXES
People III Bible Times Completely al
Mercy Of Extortlonate Extract
ors Of Tribute.

People in the Bible times were taxed
heavily. They were on straight levy,
not based on incomes or excess profits.
Payment was compelled and no excuses
made, nor were there any exemptions
to married men or heads OF families.
Although there were no army or navy
establishments and no airplane pro-
gram, the people paid their assess
ments In both gold and silver.
King Solomon compelled the o..
nantes who were left In the coun-
try to pay him tribute. The rebellion
OF Jeroboam on account OF the heavy
taxes levied by Solomon. after
ward growing int the revolt OF
the Ten Tribes, was the most pre-
tentious kick against the levy OF the
powers in Bible times. Jeroboam was
at first compelled to take refuge In
Egypt, and 1t was on account Of the
taxes and levies laid by Solomon that
the Israelites said to Rehoboam, the
son Of Solomon, upon the latter's
death:
Thy father made our Jokes griev-
GUS; now therefore make thou the
grievous service Of thy father and
his heavy Jokes which he put upon
us lighter and we win serve thee"
When Caesar Augustus was in
power and Quirinus was governor OF
Syria, after having just been elected
for a third term because he had kept
the Syrians out Of war, the FIRST named
issued a proclamation signed by bis
secretary of state that tbs whole world
should be taxed. And all the people
went to their own city to be taxed.
The later editions OF the Bible speak
Of the act as the people being ZEN
rolled"

emaciated, understood atom bound as
securely as himself to another horse,
invoked apparently occult powers with
such startling results.
Jitendra's hands were tied as were
his own-he could see the flesh swell
ing on the bOny wrists where the taut
rawhide was shrinking in the heat OF
the sun.

straighter lines, and the horses, sens
Ing a delayed meal, moved forward
at swifter pace.
Still Jitendra did not vouchsafe any
explanation. Only at the gate Of the
carcel itself, few minutes later, did
Buck williams catch low murmur of
words. He listened eagerly.
The Hindu seemed to be chanting,
but the words were English:
They reckon i'll who leave me out;
When me they fly-I am the wings.
I am the doubter and the doubt,
