place. Silence.
Then, out of the sky1-out of the

to sing, beautiful, tremendously.

had been made of it.
After an interminable grace had
been said, the boys began their
meal.
No need to wash the bowls when
they were through. After pause
in which each of the lads looked to-

shining bowls in their hands, the
tall boy whose superior hunger had
precipitated the problem, kicked
poor divers shins under the table

Beadle and has CONSERVATION car
ried him, breathless, into the midst

of which were still fascinated with
the theory that since it had been
clearly established in sacred writ
that water had been turned into
wine, through faith, it ought to be
possible to turn it into cruel if only
their young charges would give
themselves the pains to develop less

THE STORY
BY WALTER ANTHONY
Chapter ]
THE WORKHOUSE

The members of the Workhouse
Board were exceedinly wise, and
had come to the conclusion that
since the Workhouse was, after all,
a sort of Tavern for the entertain
ment of the Poor and for which
nothing at all was paid, attendance
ought to be, by all means discour-
aged. The fewer patrons at such a
caravansary the less expense-and
cutting down expenses was the prin-
cipal source of the Boards enter
tainment. So they established the
rule that all poor people should be
starved by gradual process in the
house or by a quick one out of it.
If they didn't like the slow process
as members Of the workhouse Glen
tele, they could leave and starve
with greater rapidity outside where
the laws prevented them from beg
gine and their infirmities prevent
ed them from working.
BY this time Oliver Twist had
emerged from his babyhood and had
reached the age of six or seven. He
was ready to be brought into the
Workhouse and taken from the pri-
vate care to which his infancy and
the necessities Of the case (not the
humanity of the system) had con-
signed him. So Oliver returned to
the Workhouse-the place of his
birth-at just the juncture to ex-
perience the misery Of it's newest
laws. The Board contracted with
the waterworks to lay on an unlimit-
ed supply of water, and with the
contractor to provide oatmeal peri
odically in most economical quanti-
ties.
Oliver was given his place of duty
in the room where all the immature
boys labored. Here their young
fingers grew palsied shredding old
rope into oakum so that the seams
of Britain's stately ships might be
tight and safe to carry to distant
ports the glory and honor of a
mighty nations wealth and the
fruits of her industry. The boys
reward for this labor was three
bowls of Cruel a day and an onion
added on Sundays to sweeten the
breath of their devotions.
For six months or nearly so, the
youngsters endured this exquisite
form of slow starvation, and then
were ready for rebellion.
One of the lads, larger than the
rest and therefore-with more body
to feed-hungrier than the rest,
limited darkly that unless he had
something more to eat pretty soon
there might be danger of his de-
vouring, on some black night, the
boy that slept nearest him in the
miserable attic wherein the orphan
ed boys found dreams if they could,
on empty stomachs. A council was

THE WIRELESS AT
GRAND MARAIS

After the last of November, usual
Iy comes the storm time. Six hun
dred foot freighters on Lake Superior,
them insurance expired, seek shelter
and are promptly frozen in for the
winter. Comes a day when the Du-
luth to Grand Marais bus cannot
make the trip through eight foot
drifts and stops for the winter. The
last fishing boat from Duluth or Two
Harbors or from across the lake at
Ashland or from Green Bay, comes
and goes. The people go to the lake
and wave good bye.
Naturally, in such geographical
location, neighborliness and conlmu-
nifty spirit must prevail throughout

Of course the members of the
Board didn't believe it. 1t couldn't
be true. However, they'd find out.
Leaving their deliberations precipi-
lately, they FASTENED into the sup

more heroic than the rest, attacked
young Oliver with the inquiry, "Did
you ask for more?"
divers answer was faint with
the terror that gripped him.
