FOG.

Swiftly the fog rolled in over the
cove. Like a chill. yielding blan-
ket it pressed down on the little
village. The men who had been
out in their boats came to shore
and prepared to spend the time re-
pairing nets and doing the numer-
Gus odd jobs that were left for just
such weather.
In one of the larger houses in
the village a husky young fisher
man stood for a moment at the win
dow, looking into the grayness.
After a while, with shake of his
head, he turned away and again
put on his oilskins.
Now, surely, Tom, you're not
going out again in this fog. l never
did see such an uneasy boy in my
life"
well, you know. Aunt Myra, l
can see Just as we'll in the fog.
I've got fog eyes, you know and
with laugh he was gone, leaving
his aunt shaking her head.
Swiftly he reached the beach,
and pushing off the light dery, skill
fully threaded his way among the
boats and put out to the open sea.
1t did seem as though he had a
sixth sense Of direction, for there
was no hesitancy in the way he
drove the boat through the dim
ness.
Il guess Ned Bentley won't tackle
this kind of work today. He'll take
the road to Mary's and I'll beat him
by over an hour. He can't slip
anything over me-"
The stiffness would have been
uncanny to anyone else but a born
seafaring man, for there was a Pc
culiar quality about it, unlike any
land stiffness.
Suddenly Toms trained ear noted
sound, a steady, slow pulsing on
his left. "One of the liners coming
in" he murmured to himself, and
again he dreamed his dreams of
being one of the gold braided Off
GERS who trod so proudly the decks
Of the great ovean ships.
A sudden rifle of wind and a
light lifting of the fog. Again the
stiffness, the throbbing of slowly
moving engines, and the noise from
the powerfully welded oars. Then
came a stronger breeze than be-
fore and this time the fog lifted
clearly for a moment. In that in
slant q picture leaped clear on the
sea. Slowly the great ship came
on, and under her bows, like a
pigmy crouched at the feet of a
giant, was tiny boat. Swiftly il
slipped into the deep trough made
by the ship, balanced crafty for a
second, then overturned, and Its
| one occupant was beneath the on
coming bows.
In that instant Tom knew who
was in that boat, even though he
was too far distant to see the face
clearly. So Ned had taken the
chance and lost out. Fate had
taken hand in the game and had
played on Toms side. There was
nothing he could do he argued
There was no reason why he should
risk his own life on q TOOLS errand
1t wasn't possible that anyone could
be swept under those great bows
and live.
50 he rowed steadily on. but hi.

The thing for you to remember, Mr.. Good
Citizen, is that you don't owe even vote of
thanks to your city or county ofhcials for any
thing they may have done towards the i'm
provement of moral conditions in Rock Island,
for the reason that they did not act voluntarily,
but only after they had been so persistently
hammered that to have remained unresponsive
much longer would have meant either their re-
moval or impeachment

When The Argus few months ago offered
friendly suggestion to the police authorities
that it might be in the interest of the common
welfare if they would put curb ON publicly
Haunted vice on Third avenue between Twen-
tieth and Twenty third streets it little dreamed
that it was stepping on the toes of so many in
dividuals that it had always assumed were de-
tenders Of law and order. The Argus, by that
brief reference, as subsequent events have
proved, did service for Rock Island that the
people will come more to appreciate in future
years.

await your reply with interest.
B. r. ].
Answer-It-is an old theory
which all kinds of quacks ana
charlatans have worked to the
limit, and with great profit Why
specify "cold," rhintis, ETC., when
the theory will apply just as well
to all human maladies, physical,
social or imaginary?
Goats Milk vs.. Cows Milk
Please tell me whether goats milk
is better for the stomach than
cows milk. I have heard it is more
digestible. Mrs. ..
Answer-Goat's milk is more
nourishing than cows MIX, anu
since goats are practically immune
to tuberculosis and cows are often
tubercular, the milk Of goats is
less likely to convey tuberculosis
to the consumer. So far as digesti-
bility is concerned. there is no
choice. Certain individuals may
digest goats milk more easily
than cows milk.

City Attorney Scott promises to reveal some
terrible secret about The Argus at the first
mass meeting that takes place in Rock Island.
Why wait for the mass meeting? The Argus
has never been picayunish in affording space to
Mr.. SCOTS public utterances, even though they
be uncomplimentary to The Argus. If Mr.. Scott
has anything further in his system concerning
The Argus that he hasn't disclosed this is an
invitation to him to bring forward the terrible
indictment The Argus is ready for the worst

The Argus knew that it would draw all of
the shelf worn subterfuges of the vice vultures

realized daily

Some of the members of the city administra-
ton would have you believe that they are
being personally attacked by The Argus. Com
missioners Martin T. Rudgren and John Muir

men had the courage to stand for the public
interest

Thomas Cox, the suspended chief of police,
charged before the police board that for
months his men had refused to act upon his
orders for the suppression of lawlessness in
the city. The taxpayers are entitled to have a
public answer to that accusation from the mA
who have been placed in this unenviable light
before their fellowmen of the community.

The Argus wishes to remind the city admin
