NO MORE GOOD OLD GHOSTS
Modern Substitute, It Must Be Admit ted, Is More or Less FIabby and
 Unsatisfactory.

How long Is 1t since you shivered at a ghost story? You have read scores of them in the last few years, stories of seances and frances, of cross mes sages and spirits trying to "break through" but did a single one have that hair-raising, marrow-chilling quality we are justified in demanding from real ghost story? What Is the matter with our modern spirits, any way? In a day when the world has gone mad on the subject of efficiency, why do we find our ghosts so utterly incompetent, so unequal to their jobs?
 Their great trouble is their lack of definite purpose. There is no reason whatever for their being, and conse- quently they are insipid, puerile, un- interesting things. They don't even call themselves ghosts; they are spir- its, a much flabbier term, and the same general debility runs through their en- tire makeup. They have no wills of their own. They wait respectfully till they are summoned by the very mor- tals they ought to terrify. They an- swer, like bell boys, to the call of such silly devices as ouija boards.
 Can you imagine a Shakespearean ghost waiting to be summoned? Those were specters with minds of their own. They appeared when 1t pleased them to appear, uninvited and more often than not undesired. You might shout "Avaunt theel" till you were hoarse; you might call them foul spirits or any other uncomplimentary terms you could think of. but until their job was done not one inch would they budge The modern spirit vanishes if you give him half chance, but then he only came in the first place to obIige you. out of politeness and weakmindedness.-M L. Ferrand in the New York Evening Post.

a hard climb, but we'll take our time to 1t and rest when we are tired. No one can see us from below after we once pass the point yonder."
 'Ts the trail up hill all the way?" asked the girl. her eyes searching the steep face of the bluff.
 "Yes, pretty sharp at times, but we'll manage. It follows a deep cleft through the rocks, and once found can not be lost. I'll take this end; that will give me the most of the weight, and you lead the way; take 1t slowly and you'll be all right"
 They picked the litter up between them, Olga relieved to discover how lightly, thus distributed. her share of the burden rested upon her. She was able to advance easily and pick her way among the rocks without experi- encing great discomfort. The weight of the mans body came far heavier upon Shelby, but the rest and change had largely restored his strength and he felt no doubt of his ability to sus- tain this end of the burden. Unable to see just where he was placing his feet in the stony path, he stumbled occasionally, causing the wounded man to groan in some sudden spasm of pain; yet it was evident he did not

WESTERN FOREST FIRE
 SEASON OPENS FAVORA5LN

Denver.-FreQuent rains have been boon to the western forests this spring, and the officers of the forest service, United States Department of Agriculture, express themselves as greatly relieved at escaping a danger which has been keeping them on the anxious seat.
 The danger was that if the summer fire season came on as usual their control of the national forests would be impossible with the funds available before July 1, when a new fiscal year begins. Hence the relief that frequent rains have kept the forests too damp to permit dangerous conditions to be- come general.
 But the government foresters do not consider that this is entirely due to The public is becoming interested in forest preservation, and the oft-re- peated story of the destruction caused by human carelessness is beginning to make its impression. The United States leads all nations in forest fires. With over 30,0OO fires per year, de stroying nearly $2O,OOOOOO worth of timber and property, this country has the world Outclassed.
 There have only been four large fires so far this year in the 147 na- tiOnal forests scattered throughout the country-one in Minnesota, one in Florida, and the other two in Arizona, one of which started in Old Mexico and swept across the international boundary This is an exceptional rec ord and means much to the forest service.
 Eighty per cent of the forest fires that occurred in the United States during the past five years were due to human carelessness. A camp fire left burning, lighted match or cigarette bGt thoughtlessly thrown aside, the for esters say, often cause conflagratiOns that take days and weeks of hard work to suppress. It is for this reason that they ask every good citizen to adopt as part of his daily creed the motto of the forest service-PUT OUT, KEEP OUT, FOREST FIRES.

suffer greatly. The trail they followed had so impressed itself on his memory that he recalled every turn clearly and could call out directions to her in a low voice.
 Turn sharply to the right there; we will have to hold the litter higher to get by that rock; here is the only point exposed; once in the shadow of those trees the way is completely cov- cred. Yes, we can move rapidly around this point; from now on there are rocks on both sides. Take it easy, and if you need to rest, say SO"

CHAPTER xII-contlnued.


 And I have given you my heart iong ago. Kiss me, Tom"
 They sat there, closely pressed to- gether in that narrow space, scarcely aware any longer of the danger at hand, eager only to hear each others voice. Above the crackle of the flames, and the crashing of falling timbers, they could distinguish the in- termittent crack of a rife, and the echo of voices calling. Shelby began to dig with one hand at the pile of earth beside him so as to widen the space between it's summit and the roof. The action caused his mind to revert to the imminent peril of their situation.
 Tt will be all over with before day light" he said soberly, "and that will be our chance to get out"
 How do you suppose Macklin ever got through there?" she questioned wonderingly.
 That's what bethers me. Either he wasn't hurt much, or he had help. It is my notion the girl brought him out in some way. The shooting was an act of sudden anger, for which she was sorry the very next moment. They may be hiding there now, somewhere in the tunnel"
 She lifted herself up and peered through the opening; the glare of the flames did not penetrate beyond the barrier of earth and she saw nothing but impenetrable blackness.
 Shall we go, and see?"
 Not yet; we are safer here, until those devils give up. You can hear their voices yet out there."
 They had no way of telling time, and the hours dragged. The sound of firing had entirely ceased, and the shouts of voices died away one after the other. Shelby waited patiently, listening for the slightest sound, but, at last, could restrain himself no longer.
 'I do not know how late it is," he said finally, "yet it must be nearly morning. Most of those fellows must be gone Shall we try our luck. little girl?"
 She put her hand silently into his.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy con- dition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita- ble and may be Respondent; it makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for sample bottle to see what Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine, will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr.. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post. You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores.

their enemies, and, convinced that, as yet, there was no pursuit, the three crept breathlessly into the shadow of the bushes, dragging the unconscious Macklin with them. For some min utes Shelby lay motionless, struggling for breath, feeling that all strength had deserted him. He scarcely real ized that Olga had lifted his head into her lap, and was wiping the beads of precipitation from his face. At last, however, his eyes opened, and he saw her bending over him. The mans lips broke into an effort to smile.
 "Some soft, ain't I, little girl?" he muttered, "but geel That was a pull,

The scales have already been re- moved from the sardines when you open the can. Is the scaling done by hand2 Not any more. The sardines are placed in the cylinders. which re- volve from right to left. The contin- ued rubbing of the small fish against the perforated cylinder case causes the scales to break of. A constant stream of water played on the fish car ries of the scales as soon as they are detached. When the fish are thor oughly scaled, they are dropped into a drum, placed for that purpose at the end of the cylinder.-Popular Science Monthly

The Euaitives.


 He led the way, finding little diffi- culty in crawling over the mound of earth, and Olga followed easily. The cool darkness into which they ad- vanced was a great relief, while the sense of action restored their shat tered nerves. They encountered no further obstruction of any kind, but suddenly reached a sharp turn to- ward the left Shelby felt his pass age around the corner, aware of the pressure of Olga's fingers on his sleeve, but his eyes could perceive nothing unusual beyond. Yet, with his first step forward, he came to sudden halt.
 Stay where you are, senOr," said a low voice, mot a move till speak"
 He caught his breath quickly, scarcely daring to set down an uplifted foot. There was no doubt who that was that spoke out of the darkness.
 "But I am Shelby" he blurted forth swiftly. You have no reason to fear me-"
 "ShelbyI How you come here? You found the trap? And-and is she with you?"
 "Yes, senorita. An accident re- vealed to us way out. It was you, then, who took Macklin away; he was not kilIed?
 A moment there was silence; then she broke out suddenly, passlonately. the words fairly falling over each Oth- CT in her eagerness of expression.

 "You shot the wrong man?"
 "Si, senor. Senor Macklin, he step forward quick just when I fire; he drop an run"
