may be briefly chronicled.
With loaded revolver still in mis-
opponents hand, he could take nc
risk and fell accordingly. Brenion
had simulated death for while, but
when satisfied of his assailant's de.
parture, presently rose, with nc
worse hurts than bruised face, a
badly bitten tongue, and a wounded
shin.
Mark guessed that until darkness
returned he might expect to be un
disturbed. He walked back, there.
fore, to his starting-place, and found
the packet of food which he bad
brought with him and q flask of red
wine left beside it.
After a meal and a pipe he made
his plan and presently stood again
on the rough ground beneath the
cliffs, where he had pretended so
realistically to perish. He expected
Reymayne to return and guessed
that another would return with him.
His hope was to recognize the ac-
complete.
With infinite satisfaction he heard
Giuseppe's voice, and even an ele.
ment of grim amusement attended
the Italians shock and his subse-
quent snipe-like antics as he leaped
to safety before an anticipated re
volvcr barrage.

The Chicago drainage canal people
are taking hundreds of tons of water
per minute out of the international
supply of the great lakes without any
right of authority to do so.
They are lowering Ii c levels of the
upper lakes, and nobody can say how
far the mischief will extend.
The authorities at Washington. of
course, are taking qvite proper view
of lido not approve of what is be-
ing done. rebuke the offenders, and
mean to have the matter adjusted.
Canada is supposed to be content
with the assurances given by Washing
ton. In fact, everybody appears to
have good reasons to be satisfied. In
reply to Canada's protests the United
States makes replies so encouraging
and agreeable that nothing better
could be asked for. The Chicago
drainage canal people are probably
satisfied. too. for they go right on
using the water "rd have laid plans
for using a great deal more of il.

The late General Funston, Kansas
product, a military man who was popu-

other was first volunteer officer and
then regular. He led the Twentieth
Kansas volunteer regiment in the Phil
ippnes.
If the state of Kansas decided TO give
a bonus to its soldiers. it is difficult to
see how it could rule against partci-
patton of the Kansas boys who served
with the regulars.
1t is unfortunate that such question
even should have been raised. The regu-
lar amy men would have been the last
to raise it and the eX-service men who
served in the National Army and the
National Guard would be the last to
bring up such a distinction. COMPETE

of the service carried on in spirit OF

is desirable but outside of that, no line
marks the various units that go to make
up our military establishment in this
country. They are all soldiers. good sol

sidercd in bonus legislation or anything
else that has to do with the service.

CHAPTER XIV.

THE next morning. while he rubbed
his bruises in hot bath, Brendor
determined upon course of action
He proposed to tell Jenny and her hus.
band exactly what had happened to
him, merely concealing the end of the
story.
He breakfasted, lighted his pipe
and limped over to Villa Pianezzo
He was not in reality very lame, but
accentuated the stiffness. Only AS
ysunta appeared. though Brendon's
eyes had marked Doria and Jenny
together in the neighborhood of the
silkwOrm house as he entered the
garden. He asked for Giuseppe and,
having left Brendon in the sitting
room of the villa. Assunta departed.
Almost Immediately afterward Jenny
greeted him with evident pleasure
but reproved him.
I'VE waited an hour for supper. 4"
she said, "then Giuseppe would wait
no longer. was beginning to get
frightened and l have been fright
ened all night. / am thankful to

Something serious did happen.
I've got n strange story to tell. Is
your husband within reach? He
must hear it, too. 1 think. He may
be in some danger as well as others. "
She expressed Impotence and
shook her head.
"Can't you believe me? But of
course you can't. Why should you?
Doria in danger! However, if you
want him, you don't want me, Mark. :"
1t was the first time that she had
thus addressed him and his heart
throbbed. but the temptation to con-
fidc in her lasted not moment.

EIGHTEEN.

She's always dreaming!
Last night she burned the meat.
Out in the kitchen
The door was open wide.
She stood there watching
Two neighbor babes compete
In awkward races
Upon the lawn outside.
Ma did not scold her
Because she burned the meat.
She's always primping
And powdering her face,
But pa. he scolds her,
He says she cant be beat.
She's good for nothing
Just beauties the place.
She's always dreaming,
Last night she burned the meat,
She was so careless,
But not word from ma,
For ma remembers
A time when dreams were sweet
She burned the meat once
Before she married pa.

THE WHY" OF A FOX TERRIER

THE LIGHT recently undertook to out
line the possible mental reaction of
bird-dog men, to the report that Presi-
dent Coolidge had tentatively accepted
the offer of wirc-haired fox terrier.
That undertaking has turned out to
have been a grievous mistake. The sad
| dest part of it is that THE LIGHT can't
apologize without aggravating its diem
ma. For it seems-ah. it is a painful
| fact that there are bird-dog men and
bird-dog men. and there is no love lost
between them. But perhaps the situa-
ton affords an opportunity to explain
why the President must be a diplomat
even in the matter OF choosing his Off
cial pets, and WHY it would be impossible
for bird-dog man to make good" as
chief executive of this great nation.
There was no error in the outline re-
fcrred tc-so far as one camp of bird
dog men is concerned. But the greater
and more violent concern comes from
the other camp. In putting imagined
words into the mouths of men suppose
titiously outraged by the presidential
habit of ignoring the pre-eminent quail
ties of bird dogs, THE LIGHT sinned I'M
pardonably. by both commission and
omission. In short. it mentioned settlers
and failed to mention pointers.
What difference that should make,
some people may not understand par
ticularly if they know this, and no more,
about bird dogs: Settlers point, and point
ers sometimes set when they are not
pointing. Yet there is world of diff
ference between settlers and pointers
to hear their respective fanciers tell it.
Any time anybody Graves an argument,
just let him lead setter fancier and
pointer partisan into a discussion OF
the merits of bird dogs.
1t is not recorded that any of our
Presidents, even when they had legiti-
mate opportunity. served mint juleps to
their friends at thesWhite House. This
is testimonial to the diplomacy of the
nations chief executives. For many a
duel has been fought over the question
OF the proper way to make mint i1lcp
whether, for example. the mint should
be immersed Gas is" or be crushed be-
fore its introduction to the spirits.
So, it would never do for the Presi-
dent of the United States to accept a
bird dog as his administrations mascot
For bird dog is not just a bird dog
he must be either setter or a pointer,
To avoid offending either faction OF
voters. the President must content him.
self with a kind of dog whose praises
are sung by neither. This is one field
in which the President can ride the fence
without being chunkcd at from both
sides.
| Neral: There is more in being PreSi-
dent" than is dreamed of in some peo-
pies philosophy.

"THK LITTLE CHURCH AROUND
THE CORNER"
By T. T. Maxsy

30 1ttingly descriptive and yet at
the same time so unusually appropri-
ate is the legend 1.-THE Little Church
Around the Corner" that its long-con-
hnued usage In referring to this quaint
and honored landmark In LITTLE Old
New York" has all but blotted the real
name Of this house Of worship from
visitors who, annually or more or less
often, journey thither to "pay their
respects"
"The Little Church Around the Cor
ner," squatty, broad-spread and set
well back from the narrow and busy
thoroughfare, Is none other thar the
Church Of the TRANSPORTATION. It's
exact location is No. 8 East Goth
street, just around the corner from
Fifth avenue.
The story Of how this unusual name
came into being, and which arose In a
perfectly natural manner, Is indeed
interesting. 1t also serves to Illus
trate how, through a mere turn of
fate, fame sometimes Unexpectedly at
taches itself to an object-in this case
a religious ediice.
A noted actor had died. He had no
church connection. AS he was widely
known, his family and friends felt
that a public funeral was a necessity.
The curator Of a n%eighboring house
of worship was requested to conduct
the funeral service. He promptly de-
clined, adding that perhaps the rec
tor of the little church around the cor
ner might be willing to serve" History
records the fact that the funeral was
held at The Little Church Around the
Corner"
Following In the wake of this Incl
dent, The Church Of the Transfgura-
ton vas adopted as the Protestant
house of worship by the theatrical pro-
fession. Since that time, this little
church has beer the scene of count
less christenings, weddings and funer-
ais. The church and It's present and
past pastors have 80 endeared them
selves to all who have come into d.
rect contact with them that, recently,
when the present rector celebrated
his silver jubilee, letters, kilograms
and gifts from all sections Of the
country, especially from actors and
newspaper men, flowed in to express
the Many happy returns of the day"
