Ned drove to the designated address,

Morse blood that had paled his eyes

list of supplies.
"Of course, we might put in some

MAY MORNING.

Warm wild, rainy wind, blowing fitfully
Stirring dreamy breakers on the slumberous May
sea,
What shall fail to answer thee? What thing
shall withstand
The spell of thine enchantment, flowing over
and land2
All along the swamp-edge in the rain go;
All about my head thou the loosened locks dost
blow;
Like the German goose-gir in the fairy tale,
watch across the shining pool my flock OF
ducks that sail.
Redly CLEAN the rose-haws, dripping with the
wet,
Fruit of sober autumn. glowing crimson yet:
And light green creeps the tender grass, thick
spreading far and near.
Every last years stalk is set with brown or
golden studs;
All the houghs of bayberry thick with scented
buds;
Islanded in turfy velvet, where the ferns uncurl,
Lo, the large white ducks egg glimmers like a
pearl!
Softly sing the pillows. rushing. whispering low
Freshly, oh, deliciously, the warm. wild wind
doth blow
Plantiye bleat of new-washed lambs comes faint
from far away;
And clearly cry the little BIRDS alert and blithe
and gay.
happy %Iopy, happy morning. o dear familiar
o warm, sweet tears of heaven, fast falling or
my face!
o weil-remembered, rainy wind, blow all my
| care away,
That 1 may be child again this beautiful morI
l of May.

SAN ANTONIO.

San Antonio is a city,
Rich in history, and in lore;
Historic in its setting,
You will meet it through her-door.
The quaint and modern, both are
found,
In the structures DER her ground;
And she gives friendly welcome,
To the tourists yearly round.
If you've never seen this city.
Yop've treat that's due you-now;
Better get yourself all ready.
For a trip you'll like-I'll Vow.
In it's ancient 'culiar setting.
There are wondrous joys ahead;
You will learn some more of valor.
From the lives of those now dead.
In their place there has arisen,
Courteous. kindly. good-willed men;
Who nre builders of a,city,
With the ring of -business-Trend.
Traveller. 'bide your time and stay q
season, .,-..
In San Antonio you must smile;
Its part of its creation,
When you tarry there-A WHILE.

/, things ! could spare" she told him
eagerly. '~Why couldn't, you take
those with you and trade them to some
old sQuaw for furs?", a -.t
IL could! / don't see why ]
! shouldn't bring you back some Deau-
ties."'
Her eyes were suddenly lustful. "Id
like some silver fox-and enough sable
for a great wrap. Oh, Ned-do you
think you could get them for me?"
His face seemed rather drawn and
mirthless as he returned her stare.
1t had been too complete n victory.
1t can be said for the man that he
had come with the idea Of persuading
Lenore to let him so. to let him leave
her arms for the sake of the advan-
tages to be accrued from the expedi-
ton, but at least he wanted her to
show some regret.
-"Ned, what kind of trip will this
be-" she asked him. --.-
He was more held by the underIone
Of excitement in her voice than by
the question itself. what is it?" he
asked. what do you mean"
Il mean-will it be hard trip
one of danger and discomfort
Il don't think so. I'm going 10
get comfortable yacht-it will be
launch, of course, but big, COM
Portable one-have a good cook and
pleasant SURROUNDINGS. It's ali in nv
hands-hiring crew, schooner, ltlner-
airy and everything. Of course, father
told wild story about cold and hard
ship and danger, but l don't believe
there's thing in it."

murdered, or assassinated. Whateve
may be the correct term to designat,
the CRIME, that crime, as such, has beer
imputed to the Greek nation in genera
and to the present Greek government
in particular. Mussolini has assumed
that the assassins represented the viii
of the Greek people or of their gov
ernment;~ that is, his actions bespeak
such an assumption.
IT the Greek people or their, govern
ment had any murderous attitude to-
ward Italy, there had been no indica-
tons of it. And when some Greeks
Iassassinated some Italians, the Greek
government announced that it would
adequately punish the criminals. What
more, in justice, could any nation be
called upon to do, unless it could be
shown that the murderers represented
such nations government or the senti-
ment of its people? ~
Suppose some American citizens
should cleave the heads off five. English
men residing in this country. What
more could the government of the
United States nationally be expected to
do than to express its regret to the
British government and to execute the
murderers? One might say that the
assassination of five Englishmen resid-
ing in this country would indicate that
the government of the United States
did not afford proper protection to Eng
lsh subjects. But it would require
very little reasoning to show that the
test OF protection lies in the administra
ton of law against murder. Individual
Americans might at any time assassi-
nate some Englishmen without logically
involving other American citizens or the
United States government in their act,
beyond affording the government an oc-
casion to enforce its criminal laws. If
the government took no action to punish
the criminals, or if its punishment of
them was not commensurate with their
crime, then Great Britain would have
reason to suspect that her subjects were
not being properly protected here.
The Greek government offered to pun
ish promptly and severely the men who
assassinated five subjects of Italy. To
do more would have been to furnish
substance for the very suspicion which
the Mussolini government has pretended
to entertain-namely that the crime re-
Elected the national attitude OF Greece
toward Italy. To show just how he
felt about it, Mussolini ordered the
bombardment of Corfu. Thus he as
sumed toward Greece exactly the kind
Of attitude which, imputed to the Greeks
he regarded as so reFrehensible.
In just such way have many Euro
pean troubles been developed from as
surptions that had no more stable
basis than that afforded by sheer sus-
picion Greece has no monopoly Of ma
tional virtues; but Italy, in making a
move toward war because of an act
committed by individuals whom Greece
was willing to bring to justice, has
placed herself in the proverbial position
OF the pot that calls kettle black.

WHY DO THEY CALL 1T LIVING.

Why do they call it living
AS the days move swiftly by;
When people are in hurry
And the limit is the sky?
The crowds are always rusing
They seem, in way, confused;
The world is not what it used to be-
Everything seems abused.
Life is what we make it,
Time changes everyone:
Why can't We take life easy
And let all happiness come.
So let us call it living
And live from day to day;
And brighten the way for others
Who follow us on our way.

it was not fair to expect the U. S. A.

DEATH TAXI TAKEN
AFTER TWO MURDERS
Chauffeur and Alleged Slayers OF
New York Policemen
Escape.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 27.-In the cap.
ture early today Of a taxicab after
a running chase through the Bronx
during which a pursuing policeman
fired several shots at a chauffeur
who escaped police believed they had
found the car used by a man who last
night shot and killed Policemen
Charles Reynolds and Frank Roma
nelli.
The taxicab was captured by Police
man Taggart after he had seen tive
suspicious looking persons alight and
run into an apartment house. The
chauffeur, refusing to obey Taggart's
command to stop, raced away.
The two patrolmen were killed last
night when they had overtaken a mar,
and a woman in a taxicab after a
mysterious chase over the Queensboro
bridge. Reynolds and Romanelli found
the woman screaming in the taxi. To
Policeman Seikman, who, attracted
by the screams, had run up to offer
his aid, the officers said they were
about to take the man and woman to
a police station.
As Seikman turned to go he heard
two shots, saw the patro1men fall
and then saw the taxi speed away aft
er hearing the murderer shout to
the chauffeur: go on or I'll give ii
to YOU" The chase over the bridge
was made in a commandeered motor
car driven by a woman. She disap-
peared after the shooting.
