TOWARD night land rose out OF the
ocean like a heap Of fantastic
storm clouds. The Liberia turned al
right angles and before the last OF
the twilight had flickered out. poked
her nose into the deep harbor OF
Porto Bio.
The town itself was a mere handful
Of white houses strung like a pearl
necklace along the shore. A score OF
bonfires flared on the beach. and as
the anchor of the fruit steamer was

and crew.
Even in the hold, where he crouch

bananas. the disreputable cargador
heard and wondered. At first 1t
sounded like the dripping Of gigantic
drops Of water from some stupendouss
tap Then it was like the barking OF
dogs or the yelping of a pack of
wolves. And finally the medley OF
noises resolved itself into human
notes.-the excited chatter of thou
sands of men.
Straining his eyes. the -haired
youngster made out the moving forms
Of Cammarillo's warriors silhoueted
against the ruddy glow OF the camp
fires. And rushing to the closed hatch
as IL he had been seized by a trans
port of JOY. he danced a few ecstatic
steps. The cargador listened:
"Troops," this strange terpsichorean
Morse code said. Coming aboard to-
night. We are going to lose our pre-
cious necks. But I'm with you. Bet
ter a dead royalist than live ma
tionalist."
Having spoken. the second officer
hurried back to duty. The passengers
were going ashore. putting off in a
native boat from the Liberta's side
ladder. The sandy haired youngster
caught Cora at the top Of the steps
and whispered in her ear: "l'm COM
ing back for you. I don't like your
pop oyermuch, but love you. Are
you Roin1 to walt for me?'
The look Miss Peterson gave him

The generous and prompt action of the Santa Fe railroad in contributing its quota of s250oo of the Cave Creek control fund think will stimulate the other parties in interest to immediate action. The money of the Santa Fe is now available and we sup that of the private contributors will also be- the Arizona Eastern, the Standard oil company and the Union Oil company
 All these private contributors have double interest, ought feel it. in the rapid prog of the work Not only have they all valuable property lying in the path of Cave Creek floods but like all property owners the state they are con- cerned in the conservation of property not their against destruction, thereby assuming the share of taxes which should have been borne by the de- stroyed property.
 It is desirable that all the money which has been pledged by the state, the county and city as well by the private concerns, be available by Decem- Der 1. The cty's share of s10o,Oo0 understand already available that of the Salt River Valley Water Users Association has been since last spring.

 There is Something or Somebody behind the uni verse making it go We call it God. We but give a name to a mystery
 The scientist probes the sea, the earth, the mind. He is like Hottentot wandering in New York. He many curious things and nexplicable. He endeavors with his limited intelligence to classify them.
 For what call knowledge is not at all apprehen- sion it is classification.
 He sees things act the way twice, three times, and proclams law he has not the slightest idea why it acted in the first place.
 What term knowledge is familiarity scientist is person who is at home with certain phe nomena those of his chosen field, has learned from another who is at home with them and is like the society dame who has learned how to use her spoon
 The unearned person says all things are heavy; the learned persons says every particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter in certain proportion cordng to the law of gravation the latter has simply extended his generalization little farther than the fomer he has been about in the unverse but like his unearned brother he too, foreigner in the mos, and returns home to the infinite having seen strange sights.

 But what is life? Nobody knows. Nobody ever made living thing-that is, out of anything that was not already alive.
 What makes one human being grow large and an- other grow small? Said Professor w. J. Halliburton at meeting of scientists the other day:

The happy mean is what we call health.
 It is supposed to be great mystery, anything about the ductless glands.
 Why the pituitary gland acts so and so is no more mysterious than why your fngernails keep growing in the night.
