"What is the reason?" Mr.. Baker
asked
well, a daughter has to be pre-
pared to deal with men," the Judge
went on. "The masculine tempera-
ment is involved in all the critical
problems of her life. Naturally the
average man is pretty well informed
on the subject Of men. You have
prOspered these late years. You have
been so busy getting rich that you
have just used your home to eat and

You were tired when you got home

Mr.. Emmanuel Baker arose and be-

was within one sip of a decision to let
go.
Mrs. Bling was admirably cool. In
her manner there was little to indi-
cate that she had seen the unusual
and highly festive accessories. She
sat down beside them and said: "My
dear, was very lonely and thought 1
would come and look you up. Is your
luncheon finished"
"Yes," said Phyllis.
''Then let us go and get into the
car. Well drop Mr. King at his home"
When at last they were seated in
the limousine, the angry lady lifted
the brakes in way of speaking.
81 am astonished that you would go
to luncheon with this young man who
has insulted YOU" she said.
Phyllis began to cry.
Turning to young Gordon King, the
indignant lady added: 81 think you
are a disreputable boy. You must
never come to my house again
neverw
He made no answer and left the car
without a word at the door of the
King residence.
There we're miles and miles of
weeping on the way home. Phyllis
had recovered her COmpOsure but be-
gan again when her mother remarked,

champagne and cognac and smoke
cigarettes" as if her own home had
not been a perfect academy of dissi-
patton. The girl sat in a corner, her
eyes covered with her handkerchief
and the only words she uttered on the
way home were these: Don't tell
father"
While this was happening, Mr.. Ba-
ker cOnfided his troubles to Judge
Croker in the latter's office. The
judge heard him through and then
delivered another notable opinion, to
wit: There are many subjects on
which the judgment of the average
man is of little value, but in the mat
| ter of bringing up a daughter it is apt
| to be sound. Also there are many
subjects on which the judgment Of the
average woman may be trusted, but

low, make the most of it. The chances
are against that, but let us hope for
the best. Above all, want you to be
gentle with Pauline. You are more
to blame than she is"
81 don't see how l can spare the
time, but I'll have to-" said Baker.
Thine! Fiddlesticks the judge ex-
claimed. what a darn fool money
makes of a mani You have lost your
sense Of proportion, your appreciation
of values. Bill Pritchard used to talk
that way to me. He has been lying
twenty years in his grave. He Sadn't
minute to spare until one day he fell
dead-then leisure and lots of leisure,
it would seem-and the business has
doubled since he quit worrying about
it. My friend, you can not take a cent
into Paradise, but the soul of Pauline
is a different kind of property. 1t
might be a help to you there. Give
plenty of time to this job, and good
luck to you"
The spirit of the old dead days
spoke in the voice of the judge-spoke
with a kindly dignity. 1t had ever
been the voice of Justice, tempered
with MerCy-the most feared and re-
spected voice in the upper counties.
His grave, smooth-shaven face, his
kindly gray eyes, his noble brow with
its crown of white hair were fitting
accessories Of the throne of Justice
and Mercy.
'"Ill go this afternoon. Thank you,
judge" said Baker, as he left the
office.
Pauline had announced in her letter
that her husbands name was Herbert
| Middleton. Mr.. Baker sent telegram
to Pauline to apprise her of his arrival
in the morning. 1t was fatherly
| message of love and goodwill. At the
| hotel in New York Mr. Baker learned
that Mr.. and Mrs. Middleton had
checked out the day before. No
| body could tell him where they
| had gone. One of the men at
| the pOrter's deska told of putting
them in a taXicab with their grips

ut looks as If there was something
crooked about It," said the chief.
There are many cases like this. Just
read that"
The officer picked up a newspaper
clipping, which lay on his desk, and
passed it to Mr.. Baker. 1t was from
the New York Evening Post. The
banker read aloud this startling in
formation:
"'The New York police report that
approximately 5000 girls have run
away or disappeared from their homes
in the past eleven months, and the
bureau of missing persons estimates
that the number who have disappeared
throughout the country approximates
6S,0OO.'"
IT'S rather astonishing" the chief
went on. "The women seem to have
gone crazy these days. Maybe it's
the new dancing and the movies that
are breaking down the morals of the
little suburban towns or maybe it's
the excitement of the war. Anyhow,
they keep the city supplied with run
aways and vamps. You are not the
first anxious father l have seen to-
day. You can go home. I'll put a
man on the case and let you know
what happens"

DROUGHT Rests Australian Land.

What the snow Is to Canada, drought
is to Australia. 1t rests land, which
otherwise would exhaust itself by
lts own fertility. or the amazing re-
operative powers of Australian land
under moderate rain, after drought
that has scarifed the face of the
country into a grim specter of ash-dry
barrenness, there is no doubt. You
may ride hundreds of miles through
country where the dryness is as that
of Ezeklel's valley of bones, and re-
turning three weeks later finds grass
that sweeps your horses knees.

GORDON KING.

Synopsis.--In the village of Bing-
vile thirteen-year-old Robert EN-
NETT Moran, crippled son of poor
widow, is known as the Shepherd
of the Birds. His world is his
mother and friends, his little room,
the flower garden of Judge Croker,
and every flying thing he sees from
his window. The painting of pic
lures is his enjoyment, and little
Pauline Baker, small daughter of
a neighbor, the object of his boyish
affection. To him, J. Patterson
Bing. the first citizen of Bingville,
is the ideal of a really great man.
The village becomes money mad,
reflecting the great world in its
state of unrest. The Bing family
is leader in the change. To them
the village has become "provin-
cial." The butcher and baker and
candlestick all raise their
prices. Even Hiram BlenkinsOp,
the town drunkard, works hard for
a month. The Old Spirit of Bing-
Vile is summarily fired. The first
citizen builds an addition to his
mansion and goes in for entertain

surroundings, elopes with a stran-

Every town and city on Puget Sound, and this might be extended to Alaska, has arisen in righteous wrath against Seattle's ngrowing habit of claiming everything between Portland and Vancouver, but it has remained for Tacoma, the ancient and unbeIoved rival, to be the first to capture the Seattle goat.
 The simple but effective process is that of the boycott, and Seattle is tearing its hair in an effort to get things strengthened out
 The retail druggists of Pierce county launch Jed the movement by refusing to deal with Seat tie iobbcrs, sending their business to Portland instead.

Administration Bill Giving
Mellon Broad Powers is
Favorably Reported
AMENDMENT IS ADDED
Minority OPPOSES Exchange
of Obligations in Fund
ing Gigantic Debt

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - The ad-
ministration's bill for funding the al
lied debts. was reported to the senate
today by the finance committee with
majority recommendation for it's
passage so that the. treasury secretary
may have broad powers in adjusting
the questions at issue. An amend
ment requiring the funding to be COM
pleted within five years was added by
the majority.
The freedom and broad powers with
which the majority said the secretary
should be endowed, however, was at
tached by Senator LaFollette, Repub-
lican, Wisconsin, and five Democratic
members of the committee, who de-
clared, in minority statement, that
this constituted a basis sufficient for
rejection of the measure. The secre-
tary, they contended, has now suffi-
cient authority to negotiate the set
Elements and they suggested that the
obligations of the foreign govern
ments be held In their present form
until our government shall have suf-
ficiently crystallized it's policy to
know exactly to what use. they can
best be put"
The best and most practical meth
cd of handling the questions is afford
ed by the measure, the majority re-
port declared, adding that it was nee
essary for some one to be authorized
to deal promptly with the situation.
Assurance was given that the treas
ury secretary does not intend to ac-
cept obligations other than those of
the debtor country, in the case of the
principal debtor countries, and that
lit is not his intention to accept any
German bonds unless it becomes nee
essary or desirable to do so in some
now unforeseen special cases."
The minority report said the for
eign obligations accepted should bear
the same rate of interest that the
American government paid to raise
the money loaned. and opposed the
exchange of the obligations for those
of countries other than original dobt-
ors. The bill, II continued, would per-

night with a vote on passage sched-
uled for Monday.
When the house adjourned, a mo-
tion by Representative Wingo, Demo
crat, Arkansas, to recommit the

thoriZe the war finance corporation

tural producers.
The bill would make one billion
dollars available to the corporation
for facilitating the expectation OF
farm products. A number OF changes
have been made in it by the house,
and If passed, the measure will go to

ducts.
