CHAPTER XII.
The Attack on the Cabin.


There was no sound from without,
except occasionally the echo Of a dis
tant voice shouting. Shelby, startled
by these words and alarmed by her
agitation, swiftly crossed the room.
The body was gone, actually gone! As
he bent over, incredulous, distrusting
the evidence of his own eyes, he could
perceive the stain of blood in which
the man had fallen, but that was all.
There was no semblance of a body
there.
Judas PriestT he said soberly.
"This beats anything ever / saw. He
couldn't have been killed, but l never
saw him twitch a muscle after he
dropped. Gone! Darn if know what
TO make of it. Why. where could he

"Yes; the bullet struck the log"
He crossed over and looked out anx-
iOusly.
81 thought it might be a signal, but
l guess not. Don't seem to be any
thing moving"
He Strengthened up again, his eyes
surveying the room. IF we only had
two more in this outfit we might give
those devils a run for their money.
The trouble is we can defend only
two sides, an they know it-anyhow,
Laud does. I'm gOin' to haul this
bench over on that side; then you can
stand up there, and shoot through that
hole in the window while l pepper
them from here in front. Well make
it hot while it lasts"
She watched him shift the bench,
and then stood upon it to look out.
The sun had gone down, and the val
ley swan in a purple haze. If she
would utilize what little light still re
mained, she must search at once.
Nothing out there?"
81 can see nothing moving. 1t is
growing dark. Let me take the knife. I"
He gave it to her, and she got down
upon her knees on the floor, anxiously
testing the openings between the
blocks with the broken blade. Shelby
turned his head occasionally, barely
able to distinguish her movements, yet
felt little confidence in the success of
the effort. Any attempt at escape
through the door would be suicidal; in
all probability, in spite of the silence,
and seeming loneliness of the scene
without, a dozen rifles were even then
trained on the entrance, ready to
shoot them down the instant either
appeared. And there was no other
way out, unless it might be through
some secret passage existing under
ground. Macklin had certainly disap-
peared somewhere; the vanishing of
his body was no miracle, and this
theory of how it might have been &C
cOmplished alone appeared reasonable.
In spite of his doubts, the man held
to a measure of hope; nothing else
than this remained which he could
cling to; their only chance lay in
some such discovery. Yet the woman,
cropping on her knees in the deepen
ing darkness gave no sign Of encOur-
agement. Shelby could bear the strain
no longer in silence.
There is nothing to be fOund?" he
asked anxiously, mo appearance of a
trapY
She lifted her head, with face
turned toward him.
Nothing that seem able to move, !"

as the others; 1 can get the knife

The Power of an Idea
By Harry L.. Wells of The st. Louis Globe-D

Some years ago. in the spring Of
1912. an idea vas born that has saved
the American people millions OF dol
lars aiid that also has saved the lives
OF thousands OF the American people
themselves.
This idea was not born in some
great experimental laboratory, nor
in some university. It came into the
mind OF n plain citizen who pos
sessed the power of straight think
ing and tho executive ability and the
energy to transmute his thoughts into
practical action. For example, when
tho Psalmist exclaimed that there
was nothing new under the sun no Ger
tainly had no vision of our electrical
world OF today. There are new things
and thousands OF them; also there are
millions OF vagrant ideas hat amount
10 nothing for lack of the conviction
and effort that bring them respect and
power.
This man was o the first who saw
that our American cities and towns,
for all their comparative newrs -, are
woefully dirty and unkept; but he was
the first to conceive a practical and
popular plan to make them clean and
attractive and kept in hat condition.
The desire to clean them UP was not
a new idea What was now was the
plan that solved the problem OF how
to do 1t and keep 1t done.
The idea also was novel in the fact
that at the outset this man realized
its bigness. its unlimited scope. Va
rious writer's about other novel en-
terprises whose success las startled
the public have said that its creator
never imagined" what he was start
ing-as if all tho visions and future
that men see in their brain children
were told from the housetopsi No
body knows everything nat the author
Of this idea imagined for its future
when he launched it through the press
in May, 1912. But he saw and said
this mich in that announcement:
THE object is the organization of

places. Now you SEC how a cleanup
and paint-up campaign. which re
moves the refuse from back yards, eel
lars, alleys and vacant lots reduces
tremendously the numbers and activ-
ity OF those disease spreading agents.
Not swat the ny but remove the
refuse" is the right slogan for ny
determination.
Ask any health officer and he will
say that this is the finest kind of
sanitary and disease preventing work
that can bo done. But, you ask, why
do not tho health officers do this II
ii is SO vital to health? Tho answer
is nat they have lot tho facilities
nor the backing OF the city govern
ment and its ordinances. nor the
people themselves, unless that interest
is specifically stimulated
It's Up TO tho People Themselves.
The people themselves must awake
to the situation. and they must do
the work: and not for a day, nor n
week. Then after having thu cleaned
up h premises they must ciothe them
in the Earb and armour of cleanliness
so that tho wanton desecrator WILL re
spect and not defile them with further
accumulat!ons of filth and disorder.
This was the gist OF Mr.. Clar.x's idea,
