tFourth day of The Finding Of Pard.o
g. At Eddie's insisting tone Sam
became more interested and less
impatient with his pals declara-
tion that he heard something
unusual when he was about to
crawl into the cave.
"Come on, Sam. and kneei
down htEe. I'll bet you'll hear
1t. too" Eddie was anxious to
prove he wasn't hearing
things"
The two knelt side by side
and listened. For a few minutes
all was silence, except for the
soft rustla of the fresh green
leaves as the spring breeze
brushed them. and the shuttle
shuttle of the water of Dolans
creek as 1t passed over the
rocks.
Then
1t was a whine. weak, shak-
ing, painful. and not human,
that was certain. Only once 1t
came and though the boys lis
tened for at least five minutes
more. they did not hear II again.
Eddie turned questioningly to
Sam. What do you suppose IL
is?" he whispered. A chill ran
up and down his spine as he
thought of Dad Hornblower's
stories of 'Dolan's ghost" Ugh:
Then curiosity gripped Eddie.
Here, he thought, was a fine
chance for a little adventure TO
go 81 In
Worthwhile.
Got a match, Sam?- he whis-
pered.
"Yes, I brought some along
here. Are you going in there,
Eddie?"
yep was Eddie's short re-
ply, and making a cup with his
hands to ward of the wind. he
struck the match and, showing 1t
into the entrance Of the cave,
sticking his head in, too. he cas-,
the feeble light about. He saw
nothing but the blank. dusty
wall at the opposite end. The
rusty odor was most sickening.
Then. the match fiared. 1t
lighted up a far corner. Eddie
looked. He gasped.
AS he wiggled fast out into
the open he turned a white face
to Sam and announced, It's a
little dog"

Yale Mine to Reopen.

Starting the first of the year the
Yale mine at Bessemer will resume
operations, according TO announce
ment made by the Charcoal Iron
Company of America, operators of
the mine, thus giving another boost
to the Gogebic range industrial
situation.
The reopening of the Vale mine
will give employment to about 325
men, the normal force usually EN-
ployed when the mine is producing
on normal scale. The pre- war
wage scale will be in effect and the
utmost economy on the part of the
employees is urged.
The resumption of operations
was made known in the following
announcement:
"To avoid distress among the EN-
ployes and their families, during the
present winter, the Board of Direct.
ors of the Company have decided to
reopen the Yale Mine Jan. 2, 1922,
so as to afford employment to as
many employees as possible. In order
to accomplish this it has been found
necessary to return TO the wage
scale in effect during the year of
1918, aud it will only be the utmost
economy in the use of supplies and
efficiency upon the part OF employees
that we will be able to maintain the
operation of the mine.
All employees are requested to
cooperate with the management to
the fullest extent, and it is hoped
that an improvement in the condi-
ton of the iron industry will soon
warrant an increase in the scale of
wages paid to the employees.
ITO further aid the employees
during the period of depression, the
company has consented that no
house rent will be charged and EN-
ployes merchandise will be sold at
their store at absolute cost to the
company

MANY REQUESTS FOR
CHARITY THIS YEAR
Good Work Being Done in Providing
for Needy. Individuals Should
Help with Christmas Cheer.

That there is work ahead in
Hurley and vicinity for the or
CARNATIONS that are engaged in
providing for the poor and fur
nlshlng Christmas cheer is indicated
by the many requests coming to
the authorities and TO the charitable
CARNATIONS. This condition has
been augmented by the existing
industrial situation, so that this
year more than ever there is more
work to be done. Many heads of
families have been out of employ
ment for months. Others have
been able to secure work but part
of the time, with the result that
the finances 10 provide the necessi-
/ ties of life and Christmas good
things are limited. The continued
unemployment has laid low the
savings of those who were able TO
put away little when they were
regularly employed, SO that they
tlnd that they are unable to provide
for their dependents the things
craved for at Christmas time. In
number of cases the bare necessi-
ties are needed.
The Red Cross, the Woman's
Club aud other organizations are
directing their efforts along the line
of relief and are doing great work.
Clothing, food and fuel is being
provided the needy and Christmas
cheer III the way of baskets filled
with good things will be sent to the
worthy families.
But these organizations need the
support of the community and in
dividuals. Most everybody has
heard of the Order of Good Eel
lows. 1t becomes active about this
time of the year and many children
have enjoyed the good things
which go to make Christmas merry
through acts of charity and kind
ness by the Good Fellows. You
should Join the Order of Good
Fellows. The imitation fee is but
one dollar and all that is necessary
is to hand the dollar to the Red
Cross, the Womau's Club or any
of the charitable organizations and
it will be used to dispense Christ
mas cheer to the poor and needy
and you become member of the
! old and well known Order of Good
Fellows. Or, if you wish to be-
come a high, exalted Good Fellow
you may procure the name of a
child or the name of a family of
children to whom you may play
Santa Claus, thus bringing the per
sonal element into your Christmas
work and the glow of satisfaction
which will fill your being will be
your reward. The names of needy
families and the ages and sexes of
children may be secured from Miss
Marie Herman, county nurse, who
/ is in close touch with the situation.

10 Olga, fOretinger pointing to news
article on the first page. Olga read.
1t was the old, old story; a crooked
fnancier aud his victims, whose
wealth he had promised to increase
even as the loaves and fishes. There
was list Of dupes. The miracle
worker could not be found. Among
the names was that Of Leo Danforth,
and there was local addendum stat
ing that the grandfather Of the young
man, 1T was reported" had disin-
herlted him Immediately upon hearing
the news.
Olga looked up from the paper and
the stained glass eEect was very pro-
nounced in her beautiful eyes. Leo
is coming tonight for his answer,
mother. l had decided to say yes"
"You are going to-just tie same
,now?" Mrs. Landry put her arms
around her daughter as the latter nod
ded, and her eyes said: II wouldn't
have a daughter Of mine do other
wise-but see what you have done by
not taking him sooner and preventing
this"
Leo DanfOrth sprang eagerly up the
Landry front walk that evening TO
where Olga stood awaiting his COM
ing. Did he see beyond the surface
of those wonderful eyes for oncef
Perhaps he did, for he guided Olga
into the shade Of the honeysuckle vine
land of his arms-without q word /;
and Olga nestled there so comfortably
and they found so many important
things to say to each other that 1t
was quite two hours before the news
paper item was even mentioned.
Then: would you marry me just
the same If 1 didn't have cent,
Olga?" asked Leo.
"Why, 1 am doing it! saw the
newspaper! What foolish question
when l."
l"Saw what?" broke in Leo. But
even as he spoke an inkling Of what
had happened came to him. you
mean you read something about my
Cousin John making foolish invest
'ments? 1 was up interceding with
grandfather for him this afternoon.
BY George! His name is Leo too,
though they have always called him
by his middle name. The local paper
got the New York end of the story, Of
course, and jumped to the conclusion
that it was / And you, Olga
darling"
But love bounded Olga's world just
then, on the north and south, east and
west. She would be glad, later, that
they had the money-now it was
enough that her mother gave them her
blessing, still believing Leo penniless.

LIQUOR WAS LYE
Bamberg Negro Farmer Dead From
Drinkinu Rot Gut.

Henry Kinard, n well known negro
in this section, and one who by thrift
mess and successful farming had ac-
cumulated some property for himself
and family, died at his place near Bam-
berg Friday of last week and was
buried Saturday, relates the Bamberg
Herald He had been Ill for about a
week, pneumonia being the immediate
cause of death: he suffered untold
agony and for several days before the
end came his life had been despaired
OF. Strong, sturdy and stalwart, no
one would have ventured to. dream
fortnight ago that today Henry Kinard
would be no more.
However, it's a story of another
distinct triumph for John Barleycorn
death winning with its effective aid
For it is said that Henry got hold of
some bad liquor which, unfortunately
for him, was favored with concentrat-
ed lye, and that after drinking the vile
stuff pneumonia developed from the
consequent exposure and the lye liter
ally ate up his stomach and internal
organs, thus superinducing a horrible
death.

That / must sneer at simple songs
and creeds,
And let the glare Of wisdom blind my
eyes
To humble people and their humble

Could never hear the children at
their play,
Could only see the people passing by,
Yet never hear the cheering words
they say.

to smile.
At trivial errors of the heart and

Nor be too proud to play the friend

And cease to help and know and un-

Or build my house upon a mountain

Where / must dwell in glory all alone,
And never friend come in or poor

And face the tasks which every

And never lose the glory and the worth
