CHAPTER x-Continued.

But Luke had said nothing about
Spearman. 1t had been Corvet, and
Corvet alone, of whom Luke had
spoken; it was Corvet whom he had
accused; 1t was Corvet who had given
him money. Was it conceivable, then,
that there had been two such events in
Corvet's life? That one of these
events concerned the Miwaka and
Spearman and some one-some one
with a bullet hole above the eye
who had "got" Corvet; and that the
other event had concerned Luke and
something else? 1t was not conceiva-
BILE, Alan was sure; it was all one
thing. If Corvet had to do with the
Miwaka, then Luke had had to do with
it too. And Spearman? But if Spear
man had been involved in that guilty
thing, had not Luke known it? Then
why had not Luke mentioned Spear
man? Or had Spearman not been real
Iy involved? Had it been, perhaps,
only evidence of knowledge of what
Corvet had done that Spearman had
tried to discover and destroy?
Alan went to the door and opened
1t, as he heard Spearman upon the
steps again. Spearman waited only
until the door had been reclosed be-
hind him.
''Well, Conrad, what was the idea of
bringing Miss Sheriff. into this?'
81 didn't bring her in; 1 tried the
best 1 could to keep her out"
"Out of what-exactly?
"You know better than I do. You
know exactly what it is. You know
that man, Spearman; you know what
he came here for. / don't mean money
l mean you know why he came here
for money, and why he got it. l tried.
as well as 1 could, to make him tell
me; but he wouldn't do It. There's
disgrace of some sort here, of course
disgrace that involves my father and,
I think, you too. If you're not guilty
with my father, you'll help me now; if
you are guilty, then. at least, your re-
fusal to help will let me know that"
Il don't know what you're talking
about. l told you this man may have
been a wheelsman on the Corvet; l !
don't know more about him than that
don't even know that certainly. OF |
course, / knew Ben Coryet was paving |
blackmail: I've known for years that |
he was giving up money to some one. |
l don't know who he paid it to; or for
what"
The strain Of the last few hours was
telling upon Alan; his skin flushed hot /
and cold by turns. He paced up and
down while he controlled himself.
THAT'S not enough, Spearman," he
said finally 1--WE felt you, some
how, underneath all these things. The
first time I saw you, you were ~ this

"TOO MUCH POLITICS,

Occasion has been taken to refer tc Mayor Paonessa S remark made some time ago that there was Too mucf politics in the city government. Gre. lting jobs for politicians democratic pr republican, certainly is too mucf politics." From recent remarks of the Mayor he refuses to create jobs and may go further and abolish some which already exist-every job being possible plum for an office seeker.
 Cynics will say that it will be noticed that any jobs abolished from now one will be jobs which are filled By republicans. Cynics must be all lowed to have their say It is to be jeen whether there will be justifica- ion for such cynical surmises.
 When Mayor Paonessa refused to speak any more at public gatherings unless in the line of his duties or city business, comment was made on his action by out-of-town press. It was indicated that he gave evidence of being a somewhat different" sort of A mayor. It was said that his career would be watched with interest.
 Certainly the open assertion, which brings no comfort to men of his po- iitical faith who are seeking office, that he would not only not create new jobs but might abolish some that ex- ist now, indicates that Mayor Paonessa is, indeed, different" sort of mayor. It would seem that he does not seek to placate any organization; it would seem, almost that he might be quite willing to displease members of his own party if he believed to do so to give the city as economical and good an administration as possible. If he is going to develop this trait of, inde- pendence it would seem that local democratic party would gain support CTS, in the final analysis, by approv- ing the Mayors actions. A party bigger than politics, led by a man bigger than politics would be worth cherishing.

THE STRIKE VOTE,

The best sort of cleaning up" comes from within an organization. No matter how honestly an outsider may try to correct evils in a body of men he is handicapped if he is not a participant in their activities The fact that the railway employes are taking their time about voting whether or not there should be a strike because of the recent cuts, and the fact that the union leaders are disappointed that there is not a rush to vote for the strike, indicates plain- ly that the employees are thinking some" Intense thought will increase the hesitancy of the employees to vote for a strike. And independent think ing on the part of the men who con- pose the various unions will, in the end strengthen and not weaken the unions, although it may seem that the employees refusal to act indicates tenn +porary weakness of the unions.
 Such will not be the case. As the unions become more moderate in their demands, and refrain from calling strikes on every occasion where de- cisions are made against employees, but calling strikes only as a last re- sort where all arbitration fails and the cause of the employees is just, the unions will gain strength Not the
 least effective reason for that in creased power will be the new friends the unions will make and the making more firm their ties upon thoughtful workers.
 Thus the best sort of cleaning up may come from within the unions themselves, done by the members themselves. Strong unions, led by wise, unselhsh men would be well

confirmed skeptio or cynic may be-
 lieve that policemen everywhere, with few exceptions, have that feeling still, Chiet Rawlings spoke to the patrol
 men the other night on the subject of
 their changed status, following the de- termination of the commissioners to
 abolish the vice. squad, He told them
 that there was to be no more passing
 the buck" properly or improperly He
 said that from now on the duty of
 taking care of the beats would rest upon the patrolmen He aecentuated the fact that patrolmen should now exercise their own judgment more freely than formerly,
 The words of the Chief indicate that the status of the patrolman is higher than 1t was. He ceases to be a more automaton, and becomes one in whose charge a certain part of the city is placed. He is responsible for con ditions in his territory, It is up to- him to see that the law is obeyed and that order prevails.
 Chief Rawlings has hit the nail on the head. The surest way to get the best out of a good man is to place confidence in him and to give him authority. This has been done in the case of New Britain policemen. Ap- peal has been made to a policemen's pride. If it does not become matter of pride with him to make his beat a model one. as far as it is possible un- der the different conditions obtaining in different parts of the city. he is of his position. The terri tory he covers is put in his hands. He is it's boss" If he is wise, strong and understanding, he can accomplish much.
 A great chance is given to every patrolman in the city. Every patrol man should take pride in his work now that his position has been ele- vated, now that he will have practi- cally sole charge of his territory, and now that his efficiency in that terri tory will be recognized.

FIVE GO IN SEARCH
 0F BURIED WEALTH
s5o,ooo,ooo Buried Off Nov,
 Scotia Is Goal

New York, June 22.-An expedition secretly outhtted at Elizabeth, N. J. for the recovery of buried treasure with traditional value of 35o,ooo,' 900 is on its way from New York har. bor to Halifax. 1t was learned yester. day
 The party comprises two Newark men, two from White Plains and one from Elizabeth. At Halifax they will ship on another boat to journey to an obscure island of Nova Scotia, where they hope to accomplish an enterprise that has cost fortunes in many vain expeditions.
 The Elizabeth member of the party is James R. Cameron, 5s, of bss Madison avenue, head of Cameron & Kaulfers company. pattern makers, 66 Marshall street.
 Have Lease on Treasure.
 A casual observer lettering at Rec reation Pier, Elizabeth. on Tuesday, while a gang of men hurried to. load rusty iron tubes and machinery aboard the steamer learned that Edward w. Bowne of Newark formerly a rancher in Montana, is the directing head and the financial packer of the expedition. Californian who possesses the secret of the treasure and who is said to hold a lease from the Canadian gov ernment on the island where the gold is said to be hidden, is another part ner in the enterprise.
 At the pier a few minutes before his ship cast off Cameron said he would not know for two months whether he had taken pleasure trip or a profitable business journey to Nova Scotia.
 Was South American Gold.
 The story of the buried treasure goes back to a legend that during a war between South American Counties many years ago the government of one determined to save the national treasure from capture and put it aboard a ship. The vessel escaped the enemy and reached the coast of Can ada, where the gold and gems were buried.
 Another version of the story was that the crew of the treasure ship mutinied and stole the treasure and then buried it. An acquaintance of Mr. Bownes said that he has been planning many years for this attempt and has put $20,00O or more into his expedition. and is confident of success Friends of MT. Cameron said he told them he expects to be back in Eliz- abeth within two or three months.

POLICE PRIDE

New Yorks police force used to be called, perhaps with a hint of sarcasm The Finest Despite the suggestion of humor in the title, there was feel ing of pride among New York police men in the fact that they were con- sidered an efficient body of men.
 Every man wants to take pride in his work--that is, every man who is worth anything. There is the con viction that every policeman in this city would like to feel that his beat" was the most orderly beat in the city, allowance being made for the char acter of the people who lived in the neighborhood he covered. The idea is idealistic and some may say it is fashioned, but one who is not a

QU|NTUPLETS' DAD
 NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
DaZed Over Problem Of Naming and Supporting Them

Natchez. Miss. June 2.--Five year. ago tripets were born to Mrs. William Prestage of Floyd, miscroscopic community near Monroe. West Car. roll county, Louisiana. and the doc. tor. after congratulating Mir. Prestage told him not to be overalarmed.
 "Triplets are unusual. Bill" said the doctor. Chances are that Mrs Prestage will never repeat the exper. fence. Most unusual, triplets Never heard of but two other women who became mother of two sets of trip. lets, You're darned fortunate man Bill. Much luck to you v No Enthusiasm. It is a matter of record that Mr Prestage received the triplets and the congratulations without noticeable en- thusiasm. He permitted the doctor to shake his hand ana stood on the porch nodding his head slowly to the neighbors who stopped 10 applaud and wish him well. But the hard, cold truth is that no ear-splitting cheers were heard to issue from the throat i of Mir. Prestage.
 Last week five perfectly formed and outrageously healthy children were born to Mrs. Prestage. Three were boys and two girls. Mir. Prestage was standing on the front porch reflective ly stroking his rough chin when the doctor (the same doetor) emerged from the house.
 AS l said five years ago, Bill,' said the doctor "tripets are unusual. I knew it wouldn't happen again." Doctor" interrupted Mir. Prestage, has it occurred to you that neither Mrs. Prestage nor me is dead yet?"
 Has His Doubts.
 MT. Prestage, who is a farmer in an exceedingly modest way, admits he views life with a certain apprehen- sion. At the moment he is deeply ab- sorbed in two somewhat solid prob lens. One of them has to do with names for the five babies. The other concerns the maintenance of the new boys and girls. They average two and half pounds each and the doctor says there is no reason to believe they will not thrive.
 Floyd, which until last week had a population of 200, is for making the affair (the local newspaper refer to is as an incident but it surely cannot be dismissed lightly the occasion for a Greater Floyd Week, but Mir. Pres tage refuses to become enthusiastic.
 Curious feature of it is, Bill" said the doctor, that your children seem to arrive in odd number progression. First there were three; now come five and-'
 No Use Kicking.
 Look here" replied Mr. Prestage; wife and l are fond of all our off, spring and we aim to do our best by them. But it does seem to me you're going pretty far afield to find some thing peculiar about all this when you have to talk about odd number progression. Personally, I'm for say ing no more about it."
 So whenever solicitous neighbors ask Mir. Prestage "How's the family? and "How's things coming?" Mir. Pres taee confines himself to:
 Well, there ain't no use kicking, is there?"

IRISH ELECTIONS

There Is but one thing certain about the Irish elections of last Friday, the | results of which have caused so much study. That certain thing Is that the
 Irish people are for the treaty. Di- rectly following this fact comes the
 conviction that the Irish people would prefer to have Griffiths and Collins as leaders than DeValera and his fol- towers.
 This was the question decided at the elections as far as anything was de- cided Did the Irish people prefer
 the treaty to a return 10 old con- ditions'" It has been decided in the affirmative. Evidences that this would be the decision when the question was At last submitted to the people have been forthcoming. Prob ably the least surprised man in Ire land was DeValera himself. There remains no doubt as to how a ma
 jority of the Irish people feel on thix matter.
 The only doubt that remains is whether or not the republicans in Ireland will fight the will of the ma jority, passing their cause on the as- sertion that the people do not know what is good for them. or that a majority of the Irish people are not patriotic. II is to be hoped that the will of the people will prevail in the island dear to so many good citizens of the world and that it may become once more a home of happiness and peace.

MASTER MIND HELD, '
 YOUTH RETRIEVED
Gov. Miller Saves Man Condemned to Die Tonight

New York. June 22.-Eighteen- year-old Angelo Tumberello, who was to have been executed at Sing Sing tonight for the murder last March of Louis Balsamo In the latter's store at Forty-fifth street and Fourth avenue, Brooklyn. has been granted [ six as a result of the arrest of GuisAppe Di Matteo, known as 'The Cow puncher"
 After Di Matteo had been taken to the office of District Attorney Rustotn he was accused of being the head of a gang responsible for many killings in Brooklyn and one of several who had paid Tumberello to hold-up the Balsamo shoe store.
 District Attorney Ruston saw the governor at the Republican club after being advised of the arrest of Di Matteo, and 1t was then that the re- spite for Tumberello was granted.
 Governor Miller said that he granted the reprieve to enable all the facts in the case to be developed by the Kings county prosecutor. The governor said that, according to the facts laid before him. Di Matteo was the master mind in the murder of Balsamo.
 Caught While Fishing.
 "The Cowpuncher" was apprehend- ed while fishing in a rowboat of Coney Island, Detectives Grutauo and Pucciano arrested him.
 The arrest of Di Matteo, 1t is un- derstood, came about through the efforts of Tumberello's friends. The youth was about to die and his friends decided that they were willing to tell a thing or two" to save him. They hurried with their information to the police and an alarm was sent out for Di Matteo. The uniformed force and detectives in every quarter of the city were watching for him. Yesterday morning Detective Grutano and Puc- ciano heard that he had gone fishing. They hired rowboat and for sev- eral hours searched through the fog.
 Tumberello, according to the story to the police. was only tool of the gang, of which Di Matteo was willy leader. This gang, the police say, hires youths, some of them 1s years old, to commit holdups and robberies at their direction. According to the al- leged evidence in the hands of the po- lice, the "cowpuncher" and his gang would divide the spells with the rob- Der.
 Tumberello, it is said. had been given bootleg whiskey by the gang before he attempted the holdup. It was the practice of the gang, the police say, to give the young gun men whiskey so that they would do daring things without quaver.
