Wisconsin's Fur Industry.

Close to million dollars worth

for one hour and a half Tuesday
evening on account of a horse on
the bridge that crosses Bad River.
The horse was feeding on the
right of way between Ashland and
Odanah. when the train came
along The bright head light must
have frightened him for he ran
down the track ahead of the train.
When he came to the bridge he
tried to cross it when his two
hind legs fell i'll between the ties
and the train was stopped. The
horse, being wild, tried in vain to
get out but it was impossible
They put ropes on him but it was
dltflcult job as the legs seemed to
stick. Finally the horse died and
then the legs were cut off and he
was taken away and the three
trains that were held up went on.

SOLDIER EDUCATION BONUS
NOT so ATTRACTIVE
Only Fifty Percent Of Persons Who
Took Advantage of Bonus Are
Doing So This Year.

plete for the third of FIVE years that
the soldier education bonus is
available, decrease in totals re
fglstered this year of nearly fifty
per cent is shown over the first
year.
Some 5. 386 service men and
women took advantage of the
education bonus of $50 a month in
1919 1920, the first year the bonus
was available. This total went
down TO 4,I6o for last year and
only ? gas have registered for this
/ year.
Under the educational bonus
act, no person shall receive bonus
after July I, 1924. This will give
two full years after the present
school year. According to the pre-
sent rate of decrease in registra-
tion, it is apparent that nearly all
bonus men will have graduated by
the time the opportunity afforded
in this state expires.
Of the ?. 1925 registered for this
year, o24 will receive their $50
month for attending the University
of Wisconsin. Six will be at
Belolt, ; at Campion, II at Carroll,
40 at Lawrence, All at Marquette,
at Milton, 81 at Ripon, II at
Milwaukee School of Engineering,
AZ at Stout, and % at the Wiscon-
sin Mining school at Platteville.
Normal schools will have 283
men receiving the bonus. Twelve
will attend at Eau Claire, 22 at
La Crosse, SO at Milwaukee, "a at
Oshkosh, 6 at Plattevile, q at
River Falls, II at Stevens Point,
/ 5 at Superior, and 66 will go to
/ Whitewater.
High schools in the state will
have an even hundred of the bonus
men as compared to $50 the first
year of the bonus law. Vocational
schools have 294 registered. Nine
teen of the ex-serviCe men are GO
ing to grade schools. This number
has increased over the first year
when it was eleven. County train
ing schools get as men, all other
schools i'll the state have I64 re-
gistered.
Some 449 ex-service men and
women are receiving their bonus
and training outside of the state.
Bonus men may go to other than
state schools when the training
they desire is not available in the
state. Two soldiers are studying
at the American Ladies and Gentle
mems Designing School at Chicago, |
three are studying to be osteopaths
at the Kirksville college in Miss
ouri, three are at Annapolis, and
one is attending the famous Berea
College in the hills of Kentucky.
Eighteen Wisconsin boys like

the ministry at Chicago, IS are
attending the Moose School in

miner in New Mexico, a former
nurse is taking more training at

Six Wisconsin men are receiv-

tries. One is at London University,

CHAPTER XVI
The Deserter

Mr.. Norcross chased out and tried
to overtake Collingwood, going as far
as the foot of the stairs. / went, too,
but got only far enough to meet the
boss coming up again. There was
nothing doing. The station policeman
had seen the crazy rounder jump into
a taxi and go spinning off uptown.
There was another Jolt waiting for
us when we got back to the office.
While we were both out, Mr.. Van Britt
had blown In from his room at the
foot Of the hall and we found him
lounging comfortably iD the chair that
Collingwood had just vacated.
az thought maybe you'd turn up
again pretty soon, since you'd left the
doors all open," was the way he started
out. Then: "Slt down, Graham;
want to talk q few lines"
Mr.. Norcross took his own chair and
twirled 1t to face the general super
intendent. "Say it." he commanded
briefly.
Mr.. Van Britt hooked his thumbs
In his armholes.
"Ive just been figuring bit on the
general outlook: you have a decently
efficient operating outfit here, what
with Perkins and Brant and Conway
handling the three divisions as self
contained units. You don't need a
general superintendent any more than
a monkey needs two tails"
"What are you driving atr' was
the curt demand.
"well, suppose we say retrenchment,
for one thing. AS I size II up. you
might Just as well be saving my salary.
II would buy a good many new cross
ties In the course Of year."
THAT'S all bunk, and You know IT,"
snapped the boss. 'The organization

mol" the word was slammed at
him like bullet. And then: "As l
told you in the beginning, we won't
go into any phase Of it that involves
Mrs. COllingwOod. Get back into your
own boat. Are you trying to tell me
now that Hatch Is threatening your"
"Hes played me for a come-on. He
says he's got the whole business down
in black and white, with affidavits,
and all that. He had the nerve to
tell me less than an hour ago that
he'd burn me alive if l didn't toe the
mark"
"What does he want you to dor
she wants me to stick around here
so that he can use me against you.
He knows how you're mixed up with
Sheila and that you can't turn a wheel
without making it look as if you were
going after me on your own personal
account"
There was silence for little time.
1t was an awful middle, with bloody
murder sticking out of ii on every side.
IF you have come here with the
idea that l can force Hatchs hand, you
are very much misled," said the boss
at the close of the electric pause. And
then: HAS he made 1t appear to you
th3t he was merely trying to help you
avenge your own fancied wrongsT
HE said l ought to get you; that
any man who would make love to a
married woman ought to be got"
My chief was looking past the der
elicit and out through the darkened
window.
"You don't know me, Mr.. Colling-
wood, but you do know your wife;
and you know that she is as far
above suspicion as the angels In
heaven. Let that part of 1t go. Hatch
was merely using you for his own
ends. If he could persuade you to
kill me off out of the way, 1t would
be merely that much gained In the
business fight. You haven't done 1t
thus far, and now he Is using your
check cashing excursion as a club with
which he proposes to brain the entire
railroad management, your uncle In
cluded, II we interfere with his plans"
COlllngwood scowled up at the cell
ing, shifting the dead cigar from one
corner Of his mouth to the other.
$50 that's the way Of 1t, is it?" he
commented. "He was working for his
own pocket all the time, and Uncle
Brock stands pat and slips him the
ace he was needing to make his hand
winner. Between you and me, Nor
cross, believe this id piker needs
killing a few times, himself"
The boss sat back In his swing chair
and / could just imagine that he was
trying to get some sort Of proper angle
on this young fellow who, In addition
to his other scoundrelisms, big and
little, had wrecked the life Of Sheila
Macrae. / knew what he was think
ing. He had q theory that no man
that was ever born was either all
angel or all devil, and he was hunting
for the redeeming streak In this one.
When you looked right hard at the
haggard face you could see something
sort of half-appealing in 1t; something
to make you think that perhaps, away
back yonder before the spelling be-
gan, there used to be a man; never a
strong man, guess, but one that might
have been generous and free-hearted,
maybe. ! got fieeting little glimpse
Of that back-number man when he
turned suddenly and said:

phone"
Following this talk with Hornack
there was try-out with BillOughby
and Juneman, but as this three-cor-
nered conference was held in the pri-
vate room of the suite, l don't know
what was said. A little farther along,
when the boss was once more whiting
at the dictation, Mr. Van Britt strolled
in. Mr.. Norcross told me to take my
bunch of notes to May and then he
gave Mr.. Van Britt his inning, start
ing off with: "Well, how is the gen.
eral superintendent this fine morn
ing"
Mr.. Van Britt wrinkled his nose.

The boss laughed at that, and I'm

to know that he was still able to laugh.

The boss chuckled. II believe you'd

In over the wires all morning; and the
