CHAPTER XIV.
Like a Chapter From the Past.

@INO q ShaPkCI IOul SuS aoks
Five men had emerged from the
woods behind the clearing, so quietly
that they were in the center of the
camp before Crusoe's shrill bark, or
the cutlery of the cook, warned US of
their presence. By that time they had
us covered. Three of them carried
rifles, the other two revOlvers. One of
these was Captain Magnus.
Advancing a step or two before the
Others, he ordered us to throw up our
hands. Perhaps he meant only the
men-but my hands and Aunt James
and Miss Higglesby-Browne's also
went up with celebrity. He grinned
into our astOunded faces with wolf
ish barring of his yellow teeth.
"Never guessed wasn't here jest to
do the shovel work, but might have my
own little side-show to bring off, hey?'
he inquired Of no one in particular.
Here, Slinker, help me truss 'em. up. }"
The man addressed thrust his pistol
in his belt and came forward, and
with his help the hands of the Scotch
man, Cuthbert Vane and Mr.. Tubbs
were securely tied. They were
searched for arms, and the sheath
knives which Mr.. Shaw and Cuthbert
carried at their belts were taken away.
The three prisoners were then or
dered to seat themselves in a row
on the trunk of PROSTATE palm.
The whole thing had happened in
the strangest silence. Except for a
feeble moaning from Aunt Jane, like
the bleating Of a sheep, which broke
forth at intervals, nobody spoke or
made a sound. The three riflemen in
the background, standing like images
with their weapons rais@l, looked like
well-trained chorus in an opera.
And indeed it was all extraordinari-
~ like something on a stage. Stink

sidelong fashion of moving about, and
enormous yellow mustaches like a vi
king. And the burly fellow In the

woltish smile, turned and approached

Mr.. Shaw now spoke for the hrst
time.
"Miss Browne, l do not recognize
the justice of your standpoint in this
matter. l have done and am still pre-
pared to do my best in the business
of the treasure. If Mr.. Tubbs will
not give his information except for a
bride, l say-let him keep it. shall

She drew them aside, and they

no time to explain anything-he must
trust me.

pair who stood looking gloomily out
to sea. "Mr. Shaw" l whispered
quickly, "you must do as Miss Browne
wishes" In my earnestness l laid a
hand upon his arm. He regarded me
bewilderedly.
"You must-you must I" I urged.
''You'n spoil everything If you re-

"And still l shall refuse" he said
SardoniCally.
'Oh, no, no." l implored, ''yOu don't
understand! I-Oh, If you would only

His face changed subtly. 1t was
still questioning and guarded, but with
a softening in it, too.

New York.-Flappers themselves
may have something to say to the
views OF Prof. Herman Horne of New
York University, who talked right out
about them in talk to graduates in
Washington Irving .ligh school.
Said the professor: THAT flapper
is a young girl everybody knows, but
there are varying opinions as to just
what kind of young girl flapper is.
"A flapper is person who prefers
ignorance to truth.
"Who has a conscience which does
not bother her.
who can dictate to her parents at
home.
Who prefers to learn the seamy
side of life by experience"
Prof. Horne urged the girl graduates
to shun becoming flappers.

RAIDS POTOSI HOUSE;
FINDS UNIQUE STILL

Sheriff r. P. Holmes, untiringly on
the trail of those festive birds known
as moonshiners, raided a farm house
in Yankee Hollow, east of Rockville
Friday afternoon.
After a search at the Pete Udelhofen
place the sheriff located a unique still
made of wash boiler, top of a milk
can, copper tube and metal cooling
chamber The still was evidently
used on an oil stove. The seams
around the top of the boiler were
plastered with -four dough to make a
tight joint.
The process involves heating the
mash to cooking point after fermen-
tation has taken place. The volatile
alcohol passes out of the boiler into
the long tube to the cooling tank
which is kept filed with cold water
Here condensation takes place and
moonshine flows out Of the little
spigot at the far end of the pipe.
This still is said to have done con-
siderable business. Formal charges
will be preferred against the owner.
