heaving, but he showed his mettle and the result of Humphreys training by running off without word.
 Varley turned to Stemkieff. What is to be done?" he demanded urgently. "Call for volunteers, and let us take the launch round"
 Stemkieff shook his head Mot yet! I daren't. If we follow the course they took we are dead men. We must wait until the squsll has spent part of it's violence, and then we may be able to go round the other way-by the south-in no case by the northern route. But am inclined to think that when Edor saw what was coming, as he must have done, the moment they round- ed the northern point-he would put in shore, wherever he happened to be.
 ''In that case, they may al: De sfae, or they may be in difficulties, clnging to a bit of wreck, or unable to climb the cliffs If We take lanterns-'
 Varley jumped at the notion They called for volunteers, and proceeded, half blinded by the tempest, to search the shores to the best of their ability.
 The northern coast was an aimos, per pendicular wall of cliff, part of granite outcrop, rearing itself among the sandstone of the neighborhood, something like the rocky masses at Dartmoor. There was no place to which boat could fly for shelter; and they shouted, called. listened and flashed light, without obtaining any re- sponse of any kind.
 Varley felt as if he had known it all along.
 The foolhardy pleasure seekers must have

 q think. sir" said one of the men, 'that they probably got round in time
 Did they start before us, then?'
 "No. I heard Edor tell the prince they must wait few minutes, lest they were seen from your launch and ordered back. They intended, as soon as they had rounded the shoulder of the isie, to hoist sal so as to travel faster. They expected to catch you up at the southern end, for nice little breeze had sprung up."
 "A nice little breeze! Mercirul Powers!' gasped Humphrey. Was not their steam enough without rushing straight to destruc- tion with sail? Who could have dreamed they were such lunatics? Whose idea was it?"
 Prince Theobald, sir. told Edor what he wanted, and Edor said there would be no danger, but fine sport. Indeed, sir, I think you will find they have run before the wind, and are home before us Edor is fine navigator
 Varley stood moment, cogitating. Then he turned to Ra, and buttoned up in his tarpaulins.
 'Ra, listen % me, and obey without a word. Run to shelter and tell the ambassa- dor what we have just heard. Teil him that Stemkieff and will go all round the coast, to see if they. are any sings"
 Ra's lip sss trembling, and his cAest

He knew in his heart that if they were carrying sail when the squall struck them, they could not have escaped the pull of the Cloister current Theobald and Evadne in the pride of youth, the future beckoning them along a path of roses, were tossed aside like a puff of dust on highway.
 A sob rose in his throat as he thought of the woman whom he had worshiped from afar for two years He flung up his arms and in his despair shook his clenched fists at the troubled waters.
 "Curse you"' he cried, beside himself "She loved you, and you have murdered her!''
 With head hanging and heart of lead, he reached the party huddled under the cloIs- ters, where so recently lights had sparked, wine had circulated the laughter of pleas ure seekers had been heard. The despair ing voice of Glanginfors hailed him as he approached.
 ''Mein Gott, mein Gott! Her varley, this is too atrocious! It cannot be true! Schreck- lich! Schrecklich! Have you seen or heard anything?"
 "We will not see the Abbess again until they send down divers" said Humphrey, quite unable to control his bitterness.
 "They say the lake is two miles deep west of the loophope. Wen, Prince Ganzinfgors, I suppose this will conclude your stay in Kilistria? Our King will never forgive such breach of trust"
 Breach of trust, sir! You are insolent, sir! What do you say?" clustered his ex-

August Sale Of
FOrds Reaches a
Total Of 161,567

DETROIT, September 22.-Aug-
ust closed the summer season for
the Ford Motor Company with sales
of 111,567 ears and trucks, 39,60S
more than were delivered at retail
during the same month last year, it
is just announced.
The remarkable increases which
have characterized Ford sales so
far this year, bringing them to a
total of 1,212,553 for the eight
months up to September /, promise
to maintain the same proportions
during the fall season.
The tendency toward enclosed ear
buying is growing more noticeable
and in this connection the four-door
Ford sedan lis gaining in popularity
as the family car. This sedan has
enjoyed a lively demand ever since
it's introduction and now, with i'm
provements which have come as q
result of the higher radiator, it is
more attractive in appearance than
ever before. The Ford coupe, which
is new is design and with many re-
finements, is enjoying unusual pop
ularity.
Business and agricultural inter
ests continue to make increasing
demands for Ford trucks and sales
for August reached total of 7,441
a gain of 5,147 over August, 1922.

The letter states that "Josh' is

time the annual fall series with the
st. Louis Nationals is played,
though it is doubtful if he will be
able to participate.
During his residence in FL Centre,

Clemen nts Puts
In $4,000 Worth
OF Improvements

The general public, who for the
past few weeks have had occasion
to dodge various objects on the
sidewalk in the vicinity of Gle
ment's Drug Store and who have
thought that the whole inside of
the kitchen must be coming out
and new one going in, have been
quite correct in their guess. For w.
j. Clements, owner of the local
store, is showing his faith in the
restored business prosperity to the
tune of $4,000 worth of improve
ments.
Beginning the work of remodel
ling by moving the back partition
SO that ten feet of space formerly
used by Albert Durham in the Val
ley School Supply was available, a
complete refrigeration plant and
electrical cooking equipment are
now being installed.
The refrigeration plant will ma
nufacture ice, and furnish refriger
alton for a six by nine by eight
foot ice box and Il nine foot refri-
gerated case to be located against
the wall Immediately adjoining the
present fountain. The big ice box
in the kitchen will have two com
partments, one which will be kept
at a below-zero temperature, and
another at about 45 degrees. The
most -up-tO-date cork insulation has
been used in connection with these
ice boxes.
An electric oven, special electric
waffle irons and griddles, an elec-
trically heated steam table, as well
as a mixer and potato masher and
large electrically heated steam table
will give the Kitchen maximum
efficiency.
A mezzazine floor added in the
back part of the store will be used
as a stock room.
Mr.. Clements states that he hopes
to have the Improvements compiet-
ed within a few weeks, and will
then begin serving breakfasts, as
well as noon-time meals.

SOCCER FOOTBALL
VS.. BULLFIGHTING
AS SPALN'S SPORT

WASHINGTON, September o.
The immemorial bullfight which is
considered the "National Sport of
Spain, now has a formidable rival
in soccer football, according to
cable ,advices received by the De
partment of Commerce from it con-
sui at Malaga, Spain.
Soccer football was first intro
duced to Malaga in 1921, when
troops en- route to Spanish Morocco,
including a crack soccer team, chal-
lenged the city to series of games
for the benefit of wounded soldiers.
GA team was organized, the chal-
lenge accepted and soccer had come
to stay "Curiosity drew the
spectators to the first games, but
gradually this curiosity grew into
interest and now these same indi-
viduals are anxiously waiting for
each Sundays game"

MOTORISTS IN SO.
CAL. ARE MUSSY

House-cleaning the highways
following the greatest summer sea-
SOD of motor travel ever known, is
the popular task at present through
out the southern part of the state,
according to information just issued
by the Automobile Club of South
ern California.
Various communities report that
unusual carelessness has been shown
by motorists during the past sum-
mer in strewing the various boule-
wards with lunch boxes, tin cans
and all sorts of rubbish which they
threw from their ears on the way
home from camping parties.
1t is probable, says the auto club,
that drastic steps will be taken next
season by all counties to prevent
the littering of the highways by
thoughtless motorists in some com
munities, notably that of Monrovia
near Los Angeles. Definite plans
are being drawn up at this time
with this end in view.
Club officials ask that all auto
owners reading this notice keep in
mind the fact that the community
is judged by eastern visitors, to q
large extent, by the condition of
its adjacent roads, and all those
having the welfare of Southern Cal
ifornia at heart refrain from MAX
ing the roads mess rather than q
scenic asset.
