Victory for the Leuion.

The closing of the United States
public health service hospital for tu-
bercular ex-service men at Markie-
ton, Pa, by order of Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Ewing Laporte,
is regarded by American Legion Off
Gals as great victory for the ex-
service mems national policy in re-
gard to disabled veterans. This hos
pital was first denounced as an inn
proper place for the treatment of tu-
bercular ex-service men by F. w. Gal
braith, Jr., national commander, of the
American Legion, in speech in Phil
adelphia last November. His stand
followed numerous investigations
made by government authorities, and
a public appeal from SO tnbercular
veterans being treated there.

sailor who had been so suddenly
jerked from the gayety of marriages
feast to the gloom of a dungeon. He
was a man of the world-educated,
cynical
One night he heard cry of anguish
Hurriedly he, rolled aside the great
stone that concealed the tunnel open
ing, crawled swiftly to his neighbours
cell. He found him writing in agony
At dawn he was dead.
That night Edmond carried the
corpse to his own cell and laid it on
his own bed, face to the wall, SO that
the jailer would think it Edmond
asleep. Secreting a crude knife with
which TO effect an escape, he then
sewed himself into the coarse sack In
Two men later bore out the supposed
corpse, weighted the legs with a great
iron ball, and swung the sack power
fully. Edmond suddenly realized that
he was falling from a great height. He
had been flung from the chateau roof
into the sea.
He screamed aloud as he struck the
water and then the weight dragged him
into the ice-cold depths. He ripped
open the sack, convulsively cut the
rope that was knotted to the shot, and
rose to the surface. He had not for
gotten how to swim. He struck out
in the blackness for an islet. Just as
he was losing hope, his knee struck
rock. He staggered to his feet and
above him rose gloomy mass, his
goal.
At daybreak he flung himself into
the sea and was pulled aboard an out
ward-bound bark. Each moment Mar
settles receded further into the dis
lance. He learned from his shipmates
that it was February %, 1929. He had
been shut away from the world for IA
wears. He wondered what had become
of Mercedes. Then he thought Of
Danglars, Fernand and Villefort. A
baleful light flickered in his hard eyes.
Edmond had fallen in with band
of smugglers. On one of their voy-
ages, he gazed eagerly at a granite
mass rose-hued in the dawn. 1t was
Monte Cristo. A few weeks later
chante brought him to the island.
None of his comrades suspected the
leaping thoughts that thronged in Ed
mond's mind. They were simple folk,
easily deceived. Edmond fell from a

Somewhere near him was a human
mole, burrowing stealthily, worming to
ward freedom.
Four days later a section of floor
ing fell in and out of a dark tunnel
sprang an old man. He was the Able
Faria, prisoner for eight years. His
tunnel dug with arduous toll, had
failed to reach the sunlight, but it lee
to fellowship. unsupported by theil
jailers, the two men met daily and
studied unweariedlv. Out of his ripe
wisdom and his prodigious memory
the Able taught Edmond mathematics
history and languages.
Less guileless than Edmond, he was
able to prove, from the youths owl
story, that Danglars, Fernand and
Villefort were responsible for his liv
ing death. So Edmond had a new in
centive for freedom. He sought re
venge. The Able revealed too the Sc
cret of the great treasure of gold ant

No matter how carefully the house
keeper plans her daily, weekly, and
semiannual housekeeping, it can not
be done easily and quickly without
suitable cleaning tools and materials.
If they are kept together in one place,
time, bother and nerve strength are
saved. If they are given good care,
money is saved.
The ideal arrangement is to have
a complete set stored in orderly fash
ion in a convenient, well-ventilated
closet. Whether a few or many kinds
are needed, it is economical to buy
well-made, durable tools and keep
them in good condition and grouped
together If possible, it is well to have
on each floor supply of some OF
the things most constantly used.
Give Tools Good Care.
AS far as possible, cleaning tools
should be, put away clean and ready
for use. Broons, brushes and mops
should be hung by strings or screw
eyes fastened to the handles so that
the weight does not rest on the straws,
bristles or strings. Carpet sweepers
|also should be set so that the weight
does not come on the brushes. The
hair and lint which accumulates in
brushes, especially in carpet sweepers,
may be taken out with an old button
hook, a coarse comb or old scissors.
Corn brooms may be washed in hot
|soapsuds, but care must be taken rot
to let the water rust the wires which
hold the straws to the handle

the Pressmen's union at Fargo, Mr..
Boyd was active in support of sew
eral bills advantageous to organized
labor. He was also strong advocate
of legislation backed by the North Da-
kota department of the Legion.
Among the results of his work are :
the passage of bills making Armistice
day legal holiday, protecting the
Legion emblem and increasing tax for
bonus fund from three-fourths to one
mill on taxable property. He also led
the fight which resulted in the pass
age of resolution urging congress
to pass the Fordney five-fold compen-
sation bill, a measure backed by the
Legion.

Although Mrs. Walker cannot quail
fly for membership in the Legion or in
Its Women's Auxiliary, she has been
a tireless worker for the cause which
brought the organizations into exist
ence, and for which they now stand.
During the World war she was state
director of women's work in the Bel
gian relief fund and also served as
food administrator for her county. The
Mother of the Bonus" also assists
her husband in the publication of a
weekly newspaper and is a former
president of the Kansas Federation

The advent of Mrs. Walker TO the

IN February %, 1915, Edmond
Dantes sailed into Marseilles.
- He was but nineteen years OF
age and ardently in love. His con-
science was clear; he had violated no
law. Yet the next night he was in
cell in the gloomy Chateau DIFF, for
tress on a bare rock off Marseilles.
And fourteen years were to pass be-
fore he strobe again in the sunlight.
Three men had wrought his ruin.
Danglars envied Edmond's rapid pro-
motion. Fernand was crazed with love
for Mercedes, Edmond's beloved. Dan
glars wrote and Fernand dispatched a
letter warning the authorities to inter-
cept the missive Edmond was bearing
to Paris. Chance decreed that ~this
warning, addressed to Villefort's ia
Their, fell into the hands of the un-
scrupulous villefort himself.
OF this dark intrigue Edmond knew
nothing. AT his captains dying re-
quest, he had called at Elba where he
had seen the captive Napoleon and
haon intruStnd with a sealed letter.
