Cellar Full of Whisky,
 But Dare Not Drink 1t

Toronto.-The heirs and executors of pr. James Gray, who was killed re- gently in an automobile crash on the Toronto highway, are nonplussed as to how they can dispose of the cellar full of good whisky left by the deceased.
 The doctor poisoned number of bottles of the liquor for the specific purpose of providing poetic justices for thieves who visited his premises several mohths ago and removed a portion of his stock. The doctor sus- peeted that another raid might be at tempted.
 Shortly after the first robbery he placed deadly poison in a number of bottles, scattered through his large supply of liquor. These bottles were known to the doctor by some mark which the executors have been unable to discover. The story of the poison ing of the whisky was told by the dead man himself in confidence to his law yerS.

CHAPTER XVII

Bruce stood as if entranced, gazing
with awed face at the flaming tree.
There was little danger of the house
itself catching fire. The wind blew
the flame in the opposite direction
besides, the rains were beating on the
roof The fire in the great tree itself,
however, was too well started to be
extinguished at once by any kind Of
rainfall; but it did burn with less
fierceness.
Dimly he felt the girls hand grasp
ing at his arm. Her fingers pressed
until he felt pain. His eyes lowered
to hers. The sight of that passion
drawn face-recalling in an instant the
scene beside the camp fire his first
night at Trails En1-called him to
himself. "Shoot. you fOol!' she
stormed at him. 1.-The trees lighted up
the whole countryside, and you can't
miss. Shoot them before they run
away"
He glanced quickly out. The clan
that had drawn within sixty yards of
the house at the time the lightning
struck had been thrown into confusion.
Their horses had been knocked down
by the force of the bolt and were flee-
ing riderless, away. The men followed
them, shouting, plainly revealed in the
light from the burning tree. The great
torch beside the house had completely
turned the tables. And Linda spoke
true; they offered the best of targets.
Again the girls eyes were lurid Sits
between the lids. Her lips were drawn,
and her breathing was strange. lie
looked at her calmly.

in fury. The thunder was SO close
that 1t no longer gave the impression
of being merely sound. 1t was veri-

The first drops of rain fell one by one
on the roof
Bruce's eyes sought for Simon's fig
ure. To Simon he owed the greatest
debt, and to lay Simon low might mean
to diShearten the whole clan. But al
though the attackers were in fair range
now, scarcely two hundred yards
away he could not identify him. They
drew closer He raised his gun, wait
ing for chance to fire. And at that
instant O resistless force hurled him
to the floor
There was the sense of vast catas
trophe, great rocking and shudder-
ing that was lost in billOwing waves of
sound and then frantic effort to re-
call his wandering faculties. A blind
ing light cut the darkness in twain;
it smOte his eyeballs as If with phys
ical blow; and summOning all his pow
ers of will he sprang to his feet.
There was only darkness at first
and he did not understand. But 1t
was scarcely less duration than the
flash of lightning. A red flame sud
denly leaped into the air, rOared and
grew and spread as if scattered by the
wind itself. And Bruce's breath caught

A NoN-PARTIsAN NEWSPAPER
What Kind of Business
Next Spring


If you were a merchant
what would you do with
fifty pounds of spuds, a dab
of hay or a bunch or two of
onions the farmer wanted
to bring to you to market?
There isn't a market that
will bother with produce in
such limited quantities and
at irregular periods.
If you had fifty acres of
good potatoes do you doubt
that you could command a
market for them? You GER
tainly could. You'd have
something to talk to. Sup
pose you had three hundred
acres of onions alone. Could
you talk market? You GER
tainly would have a talking
point and there would be a
big chance of an income
Besides the income, which
most of us need, there is a
worthwhile idea in the
thought that we like the
place where we are doing
financially. We even like
the place where we have a
steady occupation. The boys
of our community and all.
other communities are just
like us plus the fact that
they like to have a job that
is not a mere treadmill.
They have the "savy' to ap-
preciate an income and the
responsibility connected with
making it. Take away the
brains of management and
of using their own heads
and the boys who are worth
a cuss are ready to leave
town. Do our boys
stay here or do they go.
away and come back or
do they go away and stay?|
What is there for them
here? No market we say.
No possibility. If that is
true then we'd all better
move away.
Of course no one person
here will at present raise
three hundred acres of on
ions. But most any one.
could raise one acre. Some
one else could raise two and
some perhaps as much as ten
acres. Pretty quick the ag-
gregate would be an onion
crop that could be marketed
at a profit. If only a few of
our community worked to-
gether on a two or three
crop idea and worked under
standard conditions and
standard practices some of
the ''acres of diamonds" w.
ing all around us would be
dug and turned into cash
and more comfortable homes
and beautiful surroundings
and there would be work at

DRIVERS LOOK BOTH
WAYS AT CROSSINGS
Many Accidents Happen Because
of Carelessness.
There Is No Virtue in Being Careful
Just onee-Get the Safety Habit
and II Will Stick-Trsins
Run at All Times.

Tests made at railway crossings
show that less than 10 per cent of
motor drivers look both ways before
crossing railroad tracks. Many acct
dents have happened on double track
railways, because the man at the
steering wheel, after waiting to allow
a train TO pass, failed to see a train
coming from the opposite direction
and drove onto the tracks just In time
to get caught by IL. Such a driver
does not make good use Of his eyes.
and so pays the penalty for his mat
tention.
II Is not a difficult matter to drive
safely across the tracks every time.
There Is no virtue in being careful
Just once In a while. Get the safety
habit, which. when once acquired. will
stick like a burr.

track railroad, where only a few trains
are run, do not allow the thought TO

Brief instructions Given to mex

QUICK RESULTS GUARANTEED
In First Place Release Emergency
Brake Lever as Far as 1t Will Go
Heat Intake Manifold by
= Pouring on Hot Water.

! To inexperienced drivers, starting a
cold motor after II has been standing
In extreme cold IS quite a problem, but
the following brief instructions viii
simplify the operation and guarantee
quick results. The most important con-
sideration to cold weather starting is
10 relieve the starting motor and stor-
age battery of undue strain. In low
temperatures the oil becomes CONCEALED
and carburetion Is not so efficient-to
overcome these difficulties by merely
grinding way at the starter Is not at
all practical.
In the first place, during very cold
weather, when the car IL left In an I'M
heated garage for the night or Is stand
Ing on the street for any considerable
length OF time, release the emergency
brake lever as far as il will go after
the motor Is shut off. This engages the
clutch, bringing the clutch plates to-
gether and excluding oil which would
otherwise flow between the plates and
CONCEAL. Then. just before starting the
motor, by pulling the emergency lever
the plates are separated and can turn
freely without the heavy drag OF stiff
oh between them.
To start the motor, pull ont the
choke and turn the motor over four or
five times with the starter before turn
ing on the ignition switch. After this
Inns been done, turn on the Ignition, re-
lease the choke and the motor will
start readily. Thus the battery Is re-
lleyed Of the heavy duty Of turning the
motor over aud over again before II
fires.
IN case the weather Is so cold that
the above method does not succeed. the
intake manifold should be heated by
pouring boiling hot water over II. II
Is best to have an assistant pour the
water on the manifold while you are
In the drivers seat In order that the
starter may be used as soon as the
