Leoends Regarding Them Vary Wide Iy, the Oriental Mind Regarding
 Them With Reverence.

Perhaps we never stop to realize how strange it is that among the saints there is room for one to win his place by the reputed actual saving of a lady from a dragon. And yet this is the story of Saint George of England, and considered in no allegorical light by the medieval church. The wealth. boarding and slaughter-bringing drag ons early trailed across the legends of Europe, bringing with them desola- ton and forming pretexts for love af- fairs between lorn damsels and he roes.
 The eastern mind sympathized with the dragon and made it the emblem of rule. I know of only one instance where anyone attempted to destroy a dragon. for they were usually regarded

 Your man could telephone, couldn' t he? He wasn't i'll, too, was he?"
 Whitford interfered. Hold on, honey. Don't rub it in. Clarendon was bit rattled. That's natural. The question is, what's he going to do now?''
 Their host groaned. 'Durand'll see go to the chair-and only struck the man to save my own life. Iwasn't try ing to kill the fellow. He was shooting at me, and I had to do It."
 "Of course" agreed Whitford. "We've got proof of that. Lindsay is one witness. He must have seen it all. I've got in my pocket one of the bullets Collins shot. That's more evidence. Then"

No news spreads more rapidly than that of the impending fall of chieftain. The word was passing among the wise that Jerry Durand was to be thrown overheard.
 Durand tried to make an appoint ment with Whitford. That gentleman declined to see him. Jerry persisted. He offered to meet him at one of his clubs. He telephOned to the house, but could not get any result more sat isfactory than the cold voice of serv- ant saying, "Mr. WhitfOrd does not wish to talk with you. sir" At last he telegraphed.
 The message read:

 It was signed by Durand.

IMPROVED ROADS
GREAT SYSTEM OF HIGHWAYS
Scheme Being Worked Out by Federal and State Authorities to Surpass
 Other Countries.

(Prepared by the United States Department
 of Agriculture.)
 A system of highways that will serve the whole country and will be far su- periOr to any other in the world is being mapped out by federal and state engineers. It is estimated that the sys- tenn will comprise 1S0.OOO miles of road. The federal highway act recent ly enacted specifically requires that all federal aid be spent on connected system of highways consisting of not more than ' per cent of the road mile age in each state, and that this system shall consist of interstate or primary roads and intercounty or secondary roads.
 Proposed systems have been re- ceived by the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture from all but eight states. They are plotted on large map of the United States and carefully examined

DRAGONS OF EAST AND WEST

as sacred and of incomparable power
 The West, however, true to it's tenn perament, preferred to tell of dragons conquered and slain by the wit of man.
 The dragon is almost the symbol of nature in the East, and the different ways of meeting it seem to form an allegory Of the oriental mystic rever- ence of nature and the European scien- tific conquest of it.-Eizabeth J. Coats worth, in the North American Review.

"Must be. According to Lindsay's story the fellow was aiming straight at It."
 "weIl, they're not here. See for your self"
 She was right. There was no evil dence whatever that any bullets had passed through the partition. They covered every inch of the cross wall in their search.
 Lindsay must have been mistaken" decided Whitford. hiding his keen dis appointment. This man Collins couldn't have been firing in this direc- tion. Of course everything was con- fusion. No doubt they shifted round in the dark and"

 Her part of the conversation wa! limited. It consisted of the wort Yes" repeated at intervals and a con cluding, "Oh. I'm so glad. Thank you. Her eyes were sparkling when sht hung up.
 Good news, dad," she said. "Tll tel you later"
 Durand laughed brutally as he rose Good news, eh? Get all you can You'll need 1t. Take that from me. It's straight. Your friends in trouble up tC the neck" He swaggered to the door and turned. Don't forget, Bromfield Keep outa this or you'll be sorry" His voice was like the crack of a trainers whip to animals in a circus.
 For once Bromfield did not jumI through the hoop. "Oh, go to the devil, he said in irritation, flushing angrlly.
 Better not get gay with me-" ad vised Durand sourly.
 After the door had closed on him there was momentary pause. The younger man spoke awkwardly. "You can tell me now what 1t was Mir. Lind say told you"
 Wed like to know for sure whether you're with us or with Durand," said WhitfOrd mildly. "Of course we know the answer to that. You're with us. But we want to hear you say it, flat foot"
 "Of course I'm with you. That Is, I'd like to be. But I don't want to get into trouble, MT. Whitford. Can you blame me for that?"
 You wouldn't get into trouble" ar- gued the mine owner impatiently. "I keep telling you that"
 Beatrice, watching the younger man closely, saw as in flash the solution of this mystery-the explanation of the tangle to which various scattered threads had been leading her.
 Are you sure of that, dadY
 How could he be hurt, Bee?"
 The girl let B.omfield have 1t straight from the shoulder Because Clay didn't kill that man Collins. Clarendon did It."
 My C., you knowT" he cried, ashen-faced. "He told you"
 "No, he didn't tell us. For some req son he's protecting you. But I know 1t just the same. You did it."
 Tt was In self-defense," he pleaded.
 "Then why didn't you say SO? Why did you let Clay be accused instead of coming forward at Once?"
 "I was waiting to see if he couldn't show he was innocent without"
 "Without getting you into 1t. You wanted to be shielded at any cost" The

 Many states have already adjusted difficult problems with their neighbors. AS an example the system sent in by Nebraska showed a big gap in an im- pOrtant road along the northern boun- dary. It was learned, however, that South Dakota would follow with a system that would fit like pictures on toy blocks. Since the federal highway act of last November became a law, only roads certain to be on the system have been approved for construction.

 "You'se Got No Business Herep Her eyes went from It to a plank in the partition and then back to the thin crisp of wood.
 ''What is it. honey?" asked Whit ford.
 The girl turned to Muldoon, alert in every quiyering muscle. That express wagon-the one leaving the house as we drove up--did you notice it?"
 Number 714," answered Tim, promptly.
 Gan you have 1t stopped and the man arrested? Don't you see? They've rebuilt this partition. They were talk Ing away in that wagon the blanks with the bullet holes."
 MuldOOn was out of the room and going down the stairs before she had finished speaking It was a quarter of an hour later when he returned. Beatrice and her father were not to be seen.
 From DLck of the partition came an eager. vibrant voice. '"Is that you, Mir. MuldOon? Come here quick. We've found one of the bullets in the wall.'
 The policeman passed out of the door through which Bromfield had made his escape and found another small door opening from the passage. It took him into the cubby-hole of a room in which were the wires and in- struments used to receive news of the races.
 What about the express wagon ?" asked Whitford.
 "Well get it. Word is out for those on duty to keep an eye open for it. Where's the bullet?"
 Beatrice pointed it out to him. There it was. safely embedded in the plaster. about five feet from the ground.
 "Durand wasn't thorough enough. He quit tcO soOn." said the officer with a grin. Crooks most always do slip up somewhere and leave evidence be- hind them. Yuh'd think Jerry would have remembered the bullet as well as the bullet hole"
 They found the mark of the second bullet. too. It had struck a telephone receiver and taken chip out of it.
 They measured with tape-line the distance from the floor and the side walls to the place where each bullet struck. Tim tug out the bullet they had found.
 They were back in the front room again when huge figure appeared in the doorway and stood there blocking it.
 "Whatte youse doin' here?" de- manded husky voice.
 MuldOon nodded a greeting. "'Lo. Dave. Just lookin' around to see the scene of the scrap. How about yuh?"
 Beat it." ordered Gorilla Dave, his head thrust forward in threat. 4'Youse got no business here"
 Friends av mine." The officer in- dicated the young woman and her fla ther. '"They wanted to see where Slim was knocked out. So I showed 'em. No harm done"
 Dave moved to one side. Beat it." inc ordered again.
 In the pocket of MuldoOn was a re- quest of the district attorney for ad- mission to the house for the party, with an O. K. by the captain of police in the precinct. but Tim did not show it. He preferred to let Dave think that he had been breaking the rules of the force for the sake of a little private rraff Thara waS m renSOn vrhataVar for warning Durand that they were aware of the clever trick he had pulled of in regard to the partition.

Ray D. Owe Fails to Enjoy Thanksgiving Because Friend Was
 Gone

Ray D. Owe and all the other Owes have been without any ether concerts for quite a while now. As the house was going to be papered, painted and floored, Ray decided that it wouldn't be a bad plan to "dismantle" the set during the confusion so there would be no danger of his coming home scme day and finding the set "rapered" or painted"
 This process of dismantling was by no means a job that took only a few minutes. The first thing Kay did was to take the precious and del- icate little objects commonly known as bulbs or ". ITS" and put them away in a box so well packed that one would think he was sending them to Australia. He next disconnected the "B" batteries and got them out of the way and as the storage bat tery did not match the curtains and other decorations in the room he had to get that out of the way also.
 After carefully putting up the Magnavox. phones and all the com plicated machinery that he has con- structed for the purpose of connect ing the phones in series. he wiped the dust from the Z-Nith and put It
