The young man in retirement was
pacing about in Sfhe dark and anahhe-
matizlng his ofIiclous captor when Mrs.
Moore timidly approached the window,
Heres some water and little
food" she said, $50 you won't suffer, /"
and just as she passed the things in
she uttered a shrek and crouched
down trembling. Two men had sud
denly appeared, real burglars this
time.
"Oh, slrW whispered the woman

the floor. Something else then tran
splred. The released captive located
and knocked down and tied hand and
foot the prowler within the house.
Then coming unawares upon the armed
bandit outside he toppled him over,
rendered him helpless, and seemed to
enjoy the excitement OF II all.

Now two problems Of fate were TO
work out a strange series Of circum-

town Jail had burned down the week
previous. The second was that a new
family had moved to town early in De-
cember. comprising the waynes-fath-

seventeen and three young children.
AS Moore passed their place he noted
that II was all dark, the family prob
ably absent at some local entertain
ment, and he caught the echo OF n
sound resembling the tipping over Of
a piece Of furniture. Then from an
open window q form protruded.

they do not know just what they can

the time to come when prohibition

FIX DATES FOR S.A.
HOME SERVICE DRIVE

The dates we're determined for the
oft.delayed Salvation Army Home Ser
vice campaign at meeting OF the ex-
ecutive committee held late Friday
evening, which was presided over by
L, B. Moore, chairman OF the eXecu-
tive committee, in the absence OF Ed-
win Watson, general chairman. The
campaign will be held June Is. 1t will
be county wide and will mark an limo
walton inasmuch as it will be the first
time that the county has worked as
unit in drive. This is in line with
recent suggestion from Warrington 10
form a county board OF trade.
The urgency of the campaign was
emphasized by Capt. Pickering OF the
local corps who declared that ne hau
been forced to turn two little tots away
from the day nursery yesterday be-,
cause he did not have help enough and
needs enough to give them shelter.
The quota was fixed at $4,000 and It
was thought that more than this
amount can be raised. The under
standing is that local needs Of the
army have first call on this amount.
The headquarters for the Salvation
Army Home Service Appeal will be in
the Chamber OF Commerce room and
the campaign will be rushed through
in order to make way for campaign
for that organizations reconstruction
There was a suggestion to have the
campaign end May 20 but 1t was de-
cided that the time was too short to
effect proper organization. The pur-
nose of the organization committee Is
to select the very best workers in town
and county.
