no task to subdue the vizir with physi-
cal force, for the Chinese had lost
courage, his leathery sinews slack

Upon the window-ledge rested the
yellow bowl. Con picked up the yizir
and carried him across to 1t. He forced
back Chez Mlngs arms and drew
up his chin rather inconveniently. No
sound came from the Chinese, to whom
such a defeat must have been thrice
bitter and unbearable. The koresh in
the bowl was cool to Cons fingers,
the scent that arose was spice and
brandy. He applied the blush oil
thoroughly to the eyelids and temples
of the vizir.
"He has been my father" said a
soft voice.
II will not hurt him. This seems
wonderfully new to him; he has had
the world try it first"
Word came that the camels were
ready at the gate. The bamboo chest
was carried out. Con left his strange
enemy lying upon the rug, deep in
ghostly slumber.
The miners were finding their own
voices, roaring in new freedom, like
masqueradlng children, before the
monzoul was cold in his blood. From
the higher windows and balconies of
the palace came shrill screams. TWEEN

leaf has the mid-rib prolonged TO a

CHAPTER XV-Continued.

The cry Of the watcher at the top
sent a galvanic shudder over them all.
The riders!
Con went up with the sailer, and
from. the mouth of the pit they saw
three score hOrsemen strung across
the plain. They were like sword
cutting into the desert surface, al
ready far on their way to retrieve
their ill-starred prince. Away to the
south, as if driven by invisible gods,
Yekutoi's horse was running. Leving-
ton grew conscious of many bodies
pressing about his own. The little
men were creeping up to peer out at
their fate. The riders had but one
meaning to them.
Helen had lied candidly and well.
IN the wind, a screen of fine sand rose
behind the flight of hOrsemen.
The miners were heartened by their
FIRST favorable turn In their history.
The Arab seized the opportunity to
infiame them further They began to
moan with anger, sensing vaguely the
opportunity that had come. The city
was open and without protection.
Like the rush of a subterranean riv-
err their voices came up, choking
rumble Insectlike they surged up
out of the shaft. In the binding day
light the Arab fell back, and Leving-
ton had no choice but to captain them.
He got a Joy from 1t all, a flash of
power They were coming behind him,
score upon score, the honeycombed
earth giving up her strangest
Their faces were hairless and
plnched, grimy. Each man had a
weapon. They were terrifying rab-
Bile. Strong arms carried earth claws
that had yesterday combed the irn-
memorial clay for the seeds Of koresh.
There were also daggers and pointed
horns and a number of dull swords.
From the houses beneath the city
wall, the women and old men ran to
the gates and swung them shut; but
they could not hold back the ugly
swarm of workers. There was
strength in the arms that had toled
30 long underground; new, fierce pow
er In the twisted spines. 1t was a
mad holiday of revolt. The big gates
we're pressed in.
Wives and maidens of the m0nzoul
ran across the lawn, Kalka, Turkish,
and Arabian delicate feet were MINI
BILE beyond the fountains, and the
feminine cries were forbidden music
to the invaders. But there was first
a matter of work to be done. The
miners hurried on, resistless as lava.
Black slaves, and gray and brown,
whined and crouched upon the rugs.
1t was early, and the palace was but
half awake. In the throne room, filled.
now with golden light, woman fled,
screaming. Beyond were the monzoul's
apartments. This soft and ancient
lord reclined among his feathers and
silks and fans, like precious grub.
His doorway darkened, his slaves went
down, but he gave small heed to the
mob that profaned his chamber. He
was dreaming perhaps OF dainty white
ankles and the tinkle Of wind-bells.

In short, the Monroe Doctrine has
been the veto on war between Europe
and America. In its shadow these
youthful nations have grown until to-
day they are sufficiently strong to pro-
claim the same doctrine as the en-
blem ftheir shield. And the most
glorious characterization of this doc
trine is that it is a dictate of civiliza-
ton, in the nature of a magnificent
hymn of peace which can be chanted
at the same time by the European and
the American nations, because it
avoided that permanent contention
which would have subvened if the sys-
TEN of conquest that Europe has de-
veloped in regard to certain nations
had been implanted here in this ter
ritory Of South America. America
for the American" is a formula, as
understand it, which meant the final
conservation of the independence of
the American nations
mo more glorious tribute to the
Monroe Doctrine is to be found in the
oratory of the Western Hemisphere
than that of Senior Mitre. His under
standing of the Monroe doctrine is our
understanding of it, and such an I'M
derstanding should be encouraged and
fostered throughout the New World.

the greedy and intriguing powers of
Europe, would scrap the Monroe Doc

ARGENTINA
AND THE
MONROE DOCTRINE.
The American President In FOrmulat.
Ing This Dlctrlne Decreed
Peace Between Europe
And America.

Washington. - Quoting from Emilio
Mitre's address on the occasion of
Secretary Roots visit to Argentina in
1906, the Republican Publicity Associ-
alton says:
Secretary Colby has paid the unof-
fetal respects of President Wilson to
the Republic of Argentina-unofficial
because nothing which the retiring
Administration may have to say coll
corning out future relations with Lat
in America can be considered as bind
ing on the Republican Administration
soon to come into power. In view Of
the known antipathy Of Mr.. Wilson to
the Monroe Doctrine 1t is encourag-
ing to learn that Argentina has not
repudiated the hpinciples enunciated
in her behalf by Hon. Emilio Mitre Of
the Argentine Chamber of Deputies on
the occasion of Secretly Roots visit
to that county in 1906 particularly
when coupled with the fact that Ar
gentina, thoroughly disguised with
the recrudenscence of Old World di-
plomacy exhibited durin gthe recent
convention of the league Of nations,
has withdrawn from membership in
the league.
Emilio Mitre Is the son Of General
Mitre, one time president of Argentina
General Mitre is considered one Of
the three great statesmen of Argen-
tine history, and more than any other
man is to be credited with having
placed his government on secure
footing after having brought it out of
over half century of revolutionary
chaos. One of Roots chief purposes
In visiting the Latin Americas four
teen years ago was to correct the mis-
understandings which prevailed in
many OF those countries concerning
the Monroe Doctrine. That no such
misunderstanding prevailed in Ar
gentina was amply evidenced by the
language Of Emilio Mitre, chief speak
er in connection with the welcome ac-
corded Secretary Root, for addressing
his remarks to Mr. Root in the Cham
Der of Deputies Senior Mitre declared:
"'The American president in form
ulating this doctrine decreed peace
between Europe and America which
seemed destined, the former to as
sault always for conquest, the latter
to fight always to defend its frontiers.

stated Mr.. Kay. 'In all of Oregon
there is only one place were cloth

Oregon makes as fine goods as
can be produced anywhere, but
they are seldom sold as such by
stores. Many times 1 have seen
whole store windows displaying
Oregon woolens but without a
mention of where they were manu-
factured," stated the speaker.
Mr.. Kay stated that there were
eight woolen goods manufacturing
plans in Oregon, two in Washing
ton and three in California. He
also commented on the act now be-
fore congress wherein the manu-
facturer is required to label all
goods as to their proportion of
wool and shoddy.

Auto Camp Ground
Purchase May Be
Before Aldermen

Rumors, sufficiently persistent
to be impressive, that the Salem
city council may consider action
leading toward the ultimate pur-
chase of the Salem auto camp
grounds, are drifting from the in
nermost circles of the council
chamber.
What form the action will take.
is not known. If the grounds are
bought, the money either must be
taken from the city's general fund
or be voted by the people at the
next special or regular election.
Camp Held Asset.
The auto camp which, it is re-
ported, could be purchased for less
than $4,000, is reputed to be one
OF the finest on the Pacific coast,
AS direct result of the camp,
scores Of homes have been sold to
motorists passing through the
city, thousands of dollars which
might have ben dropped elsewhere
nave been spent with Salem mer-

chants. and much advrtising for
the city has resulted.
That the purchase of the
grounds would be good business, is
held obvious by several members
of the council. At the present
time it costs the city approximate
ly 5000 rent and maintenance ex-
pense to operate the grounds.
Discussion Is Due.
One member of the council yes
terday suggested that the city
again take over the auto camp
site near the state fair grounds,
but this plan is frowned on by
other aldermen who declare that
the old site can not compare with
the present one.
The matter of the camp
grounds purchase is expected to
be discussed on the floor at conn-
Gil meeting Monday night. The
price of a special election, which
would cost between $400 and 5000
is expected to forestall any move
to put the issue before the people
