BOOK THREE
The Payment.
CHARTER |.

The Lennox home, in the wilderness
of the Umpqua Divide. looked rather
like an emergency hospital for the first
few days after Dams fight with Whis-
rerfoot. It's old sounds of laughter
and talk were almost entirely lacking.
Two injured men and girl recovering
from a nervous collapse do not tend
toward cheer.
But the natural sturdineSS of all
three quickly came to their aid. Or
course Lennox had been severely in
jured by the falling log, and many
weeks would pass before he would be
able to walk again. He could sit up
for short periods, however; had the
partial use of one arm; and could pro-
pei himself-after the first few weeks
at a snail's pace through the rooms
In a rude wheel chair that Bills inge-
nuity had cOntrived. The great livid
scratches that Dan bore on his body
quickly began to heal; and before a
week was done he began to venture
forth on the hills again. SnOwbird
had remained in bed for three days !;
then she had hoped out one bright
into it again. Evidently the crisp, fall
nir Of the mountains had been nerve
tonic for them all.
CT course thera had been medical
attention. A doct r and a nurse had
mOtored up the day after the accident /;
the physician had set the bones and
departed, and the nurse remained for
q week. to see the griZZled mountain
eer we'll on the way Of cOnvaleScence.
But it was an anxious wait, and Len
nON's car was kept constantly in readi-
ness to speed her away in case the
SHOWS s>.ouId start. At last she had
left him IN Snowbird's hands. and Bill
had driv en- her back to the settlements
In his fa;her's car. The die was now
east as TO whether or not Dan and
the remainder of the family should
winter ii the mountain. The snow
clouds d'.epened every day, the frost
was ever heavier in the dawns, and
the road would surely remain open
only 81 few days more.
Once LhOre the three seemingly had
the IiNiIe all Ito themselves. Bert
Cranston had evidently deserted his
cabin and was working trap-line on
the Umrqua side. The rangers, left
the little station, all danger of fire
past, ami went down to their offices
in the fe deral building of one Of the
little cities below. Because he was
worse than useless in the deep SHOWS
that were sure to come, one of the
ranch hands that had driven up with
Bill rode away to the valleys the last
OF The live stock-the horse that Dan
had ridden to ,Snowbird's defense.
Nothing had been heard of Landy
Hildreth, who used to live on the
trail TO :he marsh. and both Lennox
and his daughter wondered why. There
were also certain officials who had
begun % be curious. AS yet. Dan
had told no one Of the grim find he
had made on his return from hunting.
And he would have found 1t an ex-
tremely difficult fact to explain.
It all went back to those inner

Up to ten days ago, however, when
he developed severe cold, Mr.. Clark
had shared actively in proceedings Of
the house as Democratic leader.
To his last conscious moments, the
former speakers mind was engrossed
with memories of his long legislative
career. Just before he lapsed into
final unconsciousness early on the
morning of the I'd instant, those at his
bedside heard him whisper: 1.-THE ques-
ton is on the adoption of the confer
ence report"
At Mira C1ark's bedside when the
end came were Mrs. Clark, their son,
Bennett Clark; their daughter, Mrs.
Genevieve Clark Thomson, and Son
in-law, James M. Thomson of New Or
leans.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not been completed, but the body very
probably will be sent to the old home
in Bowling Green, Mo-, where the for
mer speaker had expected to retire
after the end Of his congressional serv-
ice.
Mr.. Clark presided over the house
throughout the world war, relinquish-
ing the speakership after eight year,
when the Republicans gained control
last year as a result Of their victory
in the 1918 congressional elections.
He then was chosen as Democratic
leader in the house.
During the present session it was
apparent that the former speakers
health was failing. He walked slowly,
with dragging step. While he usual
ly was on the floor and followed pro-
ceedings closely, he rarely engaged in
debate. On one or two occasions, how
ever, he spoke at some length on i'm.
portant business.
Close friends believe his death was
fastened by the death a year ago of
his only grand-child, Champ Clark
Thomson, three-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. James NJ. Thomson, Of New Or.
leans. He was passionRtely fond OF
his grandson and associates say that
after the child'sa death they noticed a
perceptible change in his condition,
which in the spring of 1920 alarmed
his family.
During the summer and fall, however,
he regained vigor and took an active
part in the campaign for his re-elec-
ton in Missouri Although he ran
ahead of his ticket, Mr.. Clark was de-
feated by approximately three thou
sand votes, Judge w. T. Hukriede Of
Warrenton, Mo-, being elected.
The former speaker first was sent
to congress in 1892, and after serving
one term he was defeated for re-elec-
tion..- Two years later, however, he
was again returned to congress and
had served continuously since that
time.

On the second down Harry blew the

At the mahogany is where Bill

POST CARO- WEEK WILL

Over 100000 Cards
In Six Days.

A meeting will be held this after
noon at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms for the purpose of perfecting
details of the post card week, which
will be staged in Palatka next week.
1t is proposed to follow along the lines
of the recent contest in Jacksonville,
on a smaller scale, and to send out
more than 100000 cards.
Jacksonville secured publicity with
its post card day that it could not
have secured for any amount Of
money, as people were reached who
would probably never think of Jack
sonville, or of Florida. Now they are
interested. More than million cards
were sent out, and in consequence free
tours were given to girls and boys
from other cities.
Just what Palatka will offer in the
way of prizes will be decided on this
afternoon. All organizations of the
city, as well as individuals, will be In
vited to enter the contest.

Prosecution Introduces
Another Box Said to
Contain Evidence.
HUMAN SKULLS A PART
Defense Claims Bones
| illegally Collected
at Villa
CBy Associated Press)

Versailles, Nov. 24.-Three more
small boxes, containing what the pros
ecution and the experts contend are
human bones, were produced at the
opening of court today and added to
the box which was prominent in yes
terday's proceedings in the trial of
Bluebeard Landru, accused of eleven
murders and of cremating the bodies
of his victims.
These additional exhibits seemed a
surprise to the defense, it having ap-
parently been unaware of their exist
ence. The bones, according to the
are from human skulls.
The defense offered no. experts in
to those of the state but
argued that the bones were such that
no expert, however learned, could
swear whether they were human or
animal. 1t was also urged that the
second search of Landru's villa at
Gambais, when all the bones that have
been produced in court are alleged to
have been found, was conducted ille-
gally with the prisoner neither present
nor represented, as the Ffench law
requires.
The two hundred and fifty-six frag-
ments of bones, declared by experts
to be human bones, introduced today,
were said to have belonged to at least
three victims, as nearly two pounds
were skull bones. The human skulls
were burned after being smashed with
a hammer or an axe, the experts testi-
fled.

brought out two veteran contenders,
Harry Keller and Bill Blackwell.
Early in the quest for the quarry both
displayed good form, but as soon as
the dogs stiffened their tails and
raised front foot in rigid point, the
contestants exhibited some qualms,
of both colors. Bill, being a true
sportsman, wanted Harry to launch
the first broadside when the Bob
Whites rose. While they were argu-
ing the point the dogs became dis
gusted and walked into the covey,

Many thousands of dollars are
spent annually for fire prevention
and for other causes to arrest disas-
tiers that are material and can be re-

tending to conserve lives, through
education and preventative means is
being constantly broadened and the

apparent than insuring the safety of
material structures.

Unselfish Appeal
Made to PaIatkans
to Buy Xmas Seals

Consumption as a disease, is con
sumption because it consumes. The
medical profession defines it tuber.
culosis and the afflicted too often de.
ny its existence instead of bravely
attending qlinics, provided for the
purpose, that they may not spread
the disease and at the same time
have cures effected that will relieve
them of an inward grief consoled in
outward appearances.
The seal sale, now being conducted
in Palatka is means of preventing
the spread of tuberculosis and edu-
eating the young, particularly, in
how to safeguard their health. The
next generation will be as virile as
this generation encourages and pro-
notes education in preventative
means as against cures after afflic-
ton.
In 1917 100000 was the extent of
the seal sale and deaths from tuber-
culosis numbered 1885. In 1920 the
sales went to $26,OOO.OO and the
deaths decreased to 1915. Wherev-
er the seal sales prosper the death
rate is lowered and with the educa-
ton carried on, there has been i'm
knowledge given to those
with whom the clinics came in con-
tact.
If $S,0OO.OO is expeded for these
seals in Putnam county during the
sale now being conducted under the
guidance of Miss Mary Mulholland,
the county will have a full time
nurse covering all sections. Outside
Of investigating, assisting and edu-
eating, the nurse will arrange elm

Chinese Delegates Ex-
treme in Their Fear
of Results.
OTHERS MORE HOPEFUL
Settlement of Issues to
Be Labor of Confer
ence Today.
lBy Associated p resn

Washington, Nov. 24.-The far
eastern negotiations, complicated by
disagreement over the meaning of
the four general principles already
adopted, will again become the live
issue of the armam ent conference
when it resmues work tomorrow
after the Thanksgiving holiday.
How acute the divergence of view
over application Of the four principles
might 'become was lprobIemaficaii To-. To-
night, but the Chinese, in particular,
seemed to regard it as a fundamental
obstacle to a complete agreement re-
gardlng the status of China. Some
officials of the Chinese delegation
even went so far as to say that there
would be nothing left for them but
withdrawal from the conference should
an Interpretation advanced in British
quarters receive the full approval of
the powers.
The opinion held, with apparent
unanimity by the delegates of all the
nations concerned, however, was that
the issue would be so handled as to
preclude such an impasse for the pres
ent at least. The divergence came
about through the British interpreta-
tlon that the open door policy defined
by the four principles moulded Chinese
acceptance of the consortium and the
pooling of the operation of railway
concessions, a combination which the
Chinese declare would mean virtual
Observation-Disclosures of China.
1t appeared possible that the dis
agreement might wait further devel-
oPments until future discussions
bring it naturally into prominence be-
cause of the hesitancy of the interest
ed delegates to bring it up.
The specific subject selected for
discussion at tomorrow's session is
China's request for abolition of the
system of extra territoriality under
which the foreign powers have set up
their own courts within China to han
die cases in which their respective
nations are involved
Thanksgiving day was observed
as holiday by the deles-
gates.
