CHAPTER X.
The Deep-Welis.

w OCCH-NNCliSs
The next morning l turned out at
break Of day, before anybody else was
up, slipped into my clothes, straight
ened up my bunk. and dropped through
the ladder ~hatchway to the main-deck.
| had told myself that the reason
for the daybreak turnout was a desire
TO see if the railroad people really had
been sufficiently in earnest about the
proposed copper mine branch to make
a survey for it but the true underly-
ing push was a biting reluctance TO
have anything more to do with Butler
ton. or even 10 sit at table with him.
Tipt0eing through the common room,
so rs not to wake Daddy Hiram, ]
broke into Jcanie'S Kitchen and raided
the cupboard for a bite Of something
to eat. There was plenty of bread,
and some cold fried ham, and cutting
a couple of generous sandwiches, |
hiked out to make my breakfast IL
the open.
The sandwiches disposed Of, | began
to quarter the bench woodland back
and forth, searching for some indiCa-
tons of the railroad survey. In due
time | found one Of the location stakes,
and from its facing and the markings
on it, got the direction of the proposed
line and was able to trace it for some
distance along the bench. AS Dad
dy had said, it ran within a few hun
dred yards of the Cinnabar claim, and
Il short sidetrack would make his sug-
ccStion perfectly feasible; III ore
could be shot into the cars with but a
single handling.
From tracing the railroad survey,
edged around to take another look at
the possibilities of the drainage tunnel
Daddy and | had figured on. Going
over the ground this second time, and
with some better knowledge Of the diff
iiculties, it appeared that we must have
~ridiculously underestimate the prob
able cost. Pacing the distances care
fully, and guessing at the differences
in altitude by the heights Of the trees,
! saw that it wouldn't be safe to count
upon less than a mile Of tunneling,
and this, in the solid pOrphyry Of Old
Cinnabar, and in a situation remote
from the nearest base OF supplies,
would run-no, it wouldn't run; IT
would fairly gallop into money.
Was this what Fullerton meant to do
If he could Dust me? That he was ut
terly confident Of his ability TO drain
the Cinnabar was evident. But how
was it to be done? Would he, or his
hackers, be willing to spend a quar-
ter of a million or more, and the better
part Of a years time, driving that
mile-long tunnel?
The longer / thought about 1t, the
larger the conviction grew that nc
such expensive ~expedlent was TO he
resorted to. Fullerton, or his hackers
or both, knew some other and fal

\ Legend Of the
Easter Children M
MBy LESLIE pnNCKNEY HILLGtM
&{5S|9 S2G57E rs: Sasg5Sa2SS@2
TIME legends say children were first
To be abroad that Easter day
When morning out of darkness burst,
And angels rolled the stone away.
For children's hearts are quick to feel
The deadenng pail of mortal pain,
And children's hearts are first to heal
When light and comfort come again.
And they had loved the Lord Christs face,
And on His knees had laughed and cried,
And heard Him say the heavenly place
Is where all chd-like souls abide
And they had often heard Him tell
Strong by pride and greed dehled
That they could please Him well
Till they were humble a child.
And they had heard the tale that greves
All little hearts: how One SO dear
Was nailed upon a with thieves,
And tortured with a poisoned spear,
And how the temples wondrous veil
Was riven by the lightning stroke,
While, mingled with the women's wall,
The earthquake and the thunder broke;
And how black night came down at noon,
And ghosts from graves that opened wide
Skulked out beneath blood-red moon,
When He that loved the children died.
For two long days no girl or boy
In Galilee or Jordan plain
Could laugh sing, for hope and JOY
In every little heart slain.
But when the earth that third day morn
Was flooded with such golden light
AS since the world was born
Had come to dazzle human sight,
Then every child, the legends say,
Knew that the time at end,
Knew that the stone rolled away,
And flew to meet the risen Friend.
And long before the Magdalene
Had reached the empty sepulchre,
Or Peter heard what she had seen,
Or fleet John fastened after her,
The children had gone forth and found
The Master in the garden walk,
And scattered lilies the ground,
And His smile, and heard Him talk.
No child puny, halt or lame,
Or hungry, or in tatters clad,
But clothed If in light they came,
And all were whole, and strong, and glad.
They throng along the Kedron rill,
They thread the city through the gates,
Straight up to Joseph's garden hill,
Where He that loves the children waits
They dance, they sing, they climb the trees,
They circle round in ring and file;
They know they cannot fail to please,
And win the guerdon of His smile.
He lifts His hand: al bore the pain
OF death for men by sin defiled
rise henceforth to live and reign
Lord of the Kingdom of the Child"
They vanish and He stands alone;
And when the women come to weep,
The garden flames with flowers new-blown-
The children at home asleep.
'What makes that garden spot SO brght?"
The learned rabbis stroked their chins;
They knew not yet that love is light,
That knowledge fails where love begins.
But somehow still Easter
The world is beautiful again,
And in each child-like heart is born
Some yearning of good will to men
Some haunting sense, some happy dream
Of singing birds, of daffodis,
OF olive branches, or the CLEAN
OF dew-shine the Syrian hills.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells ITSELF as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has 80 large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

story, but 1t has the distinction of
possessing new twist at the end:
A person died. He willed all his
earthly possessions TO be divided
among an Englishman, an Irishman
and Scotsman. But the will was
conditional; each of the legatees was
to place five pounds in the testator's
coffin. On the day appointed (by Fate)
the Engllshman placed a five-pound
note as wllled the Irishman collected
a number of coins somehow-shlllings

 TO TALK POLITICS
Mayor PaonesSa Suggests Setting Aside Certain Nights for Demo-
 crats and Republicans

Mayor A. M. Paonessa has express ed himself as in favor of opening the school buildings throughout the city for political gatherings favoring adoption by the school committee ot a resolution that would permit the re- pubicans to use each building cer- tain number of evenings each month and the democrats a like number.
 Tn explanation of his stand. the ma yor feels that regular gatherings ad- dressed by mon well Nersed in munici- pal, state and national affairs would provide an education for those whose knowledge of public affairs is limited.
 Such gatherings held amid attrac- tive surroundings, he asserts, would draw out large attendance, both of men and women voters and would re- act to the city's advantage.
 The mayor feels that the meetings should not be limited to a brief per- iod just preceding elections, but rather should be held the year around.

| Chicago, Dec. 6, (By Associated Prcss) - Heavier fines, jail sentences and trips through morgues and hos pitfalls to view dead and injured vic- tims of reckless automobilists are be- coming effective curbs in many parts of the middle and far west.
 Fines Not Effective.
 Fines alone, reports indicate, arc not effective. In Chicago and Cook county, despite increasingly heavy fines, the death toll in automobile ac- cidents for the fiscal year ended Mo- vember 30 was 736, as compared with 660 last year and 542 the year before. There were 70 automobile deaths in November of this year.
 In Louisville, where Al persons were killed by automobiles in the first II months of the year, fines also have failed, officials say. One police judge there imposes fines of s2 for each mile per hour on speeders, and adds jail sentences if the prisoner was in- toxicated.

 bcrs of Committee be Dropped Next Spring-Boom Launched for Mayor Paonessa's denomination.

Democratic leaders, for more than two hours last night in K. of c. hall on Main street, put their heads to- gether in consideration of the party's problems and laid plans for perman- ent organization, at meeting which as the evening wore on resolved it. self into lively attack on the demo- cratic town committee and a boom for reelection of Mayor A. N. Paones- sa.
 The renomination of Mayor Pao- nessa at the next city election was suggested by several speakers. There were 16 in attendance and remarks were made by everyone present. In- vitations were issued to 125. With few exceptions, they attacked the town committee, urged that factional diff ferences be forgotten and a perman- ent organization started. It was urg- ed that certain members of the town committee whose names were not mentioned, be voted out of office next spring and men who are more than democrats in name" be substituted for them.
 Assessor Edward A. Mccarthy open- ed the meeting. After few intro- ductory remarks he called on John F. Looney, a prominent party worker who served on the town committee for several years.
 Leency Calls Committee Joke
 Mir. Leeney advised that the work of forming a permanent organization be taken up at once. He suggested that list of those who did not vote at the last election be secured and that the party concentrate in getting out that vote. He opened the attack on the town committee by asserting that it is joke, and that the present is not composed of the proper kind of men for this work. He opposed the practice of secret meet l ngs of groups which do not work in harmony with the town committee. these being injurious to the party in Lerests he pointed out.
 Voted for Republican Candidate
 The speaker said he was not afraid 10 tell anyone that he voted for George A. Quigley at the last city election. He promised the vote six months before election day and lived up to his promise, he explained. but he added that if the democratic party dominates Paonessa again the mayor will have his vote.

Washington, Dec. 6.--There were SS,S26,195 taxable gallons of liquors in distileries and bonded warehouses when the last count was made June 30, last. according to a table filed with the house appropriations com mittee by the bureau of internal reve- nue and made public today.
 To show how it is disappearing the amount under government control and guard was 3,433,2o4 gallons less than on the same date in 1921.
 Here's how much there is:
 Whiskey, 36,5sS.567 gallons; rum, SS4.o11; gin, 9s7 1884; high wines, 1,073; alcohol, 543.347.
 pr. J. M.

Based on the old barrel content, this would seem to figure more than set forth in the table. but whiskey, according to ex- perts evaporates rapidly in the wood when put aside to age and develop the glow which made the Kentucky product famous throughout the world.
