sunfishing on its hind legs, came down
to all fours, and bolted.
Beatrice kept her head. She put her
weight on the reins with all the grip
of her small, strong hands. But the
horse had the bit In its teeth. She
felt herself helpless, flying wildly down
the road at incredible speed. Bushes
and trees, the reeling road, u Limousine,
with blurred detail.
She became aware of the rapid thud
of hoofs behind. of figure beside her
riding knee to knee, Of brown hand
taking hold of the rein close to the bit.
The speed slackened. The horses
pounded to halt.
The girl found herself trembling.
She leaned back In haze Of dizziness
against an arm which circled her
shoulder and waist. Memory leaped
across the years to that other time
when she had rested In his arms, his
heart beating against hers. In that
moment Of deep understanding Of her
self, Beatrice knew the truth beyond
any doubt. A new heaven and new
earth were waiting for her, but she
could not enter them. For she herself
had closed the gate and locked 1t fast.
His low voice soothed and comforted
her.

Alarming Inroads on Chief

international News Service.

CLEVELAND, o., Sept. 14.-Sci-
ence has been enlisted in q great
war upon an insect less than An

ana the northern counties Of Ohio.
skirting Lake Erie, comprise the
battle front.
The European corn borer, which,
II unchecked, will in time destroy
the immense corn crops of tine
United States, is the enemy, and
all the scientific lore of the Fed
eral and State Departments of Ag-
riculture has been called upon for
aid In addition, the support and
cooperation of every farmer will be
necessary.
Strict guarantees have been es-
tabltshed in the Ohio counties Dor
dering on Lake Erie, and no cor n,
either green or mature, raised in
these counties may be transported
either east or west.
II the efforts to check the raw
ages OF this insect pest, whose
work threatens to rival in destruc-
tiveness that of the boil weeViI of
the Southern cotton fields, prove
unavailing, the cost of meat, and
with it the cost of living to all OF
Americans one hundred and ten
millions of people, will be largely
increased.
The pest is believed to have ar.
rived in the United States in 1910
on broom-corn shipments from
Hungary or Italy. Its first identi-
fication occurred in Massachusetts
in 1917. where 1t was found infest.
ing sweet corn raised by market
gardeners for the Boston market.
It's march across the continent
since that time has been gradual
but practically unchecked.
The European corn borer is ex-
tremely hardy. No poison will kill
tat least scientists have not yet
discovered one that will aid in re-
ducing it's ravages. 1t cannot be
drowned. Tests have shown that
it will live in either salt or fresh
water for long periods of time.

Ancient Cannon Fired q,
Wrecks Buildings
With 3 Balls

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. IA.
Firing off a civil war cannon
in Lafayette Park at Waterloo
to free the piece Of three eight
pound balls long lodged in it,
damaged two Waterloo resi-
dences, the Waterloo Hotel, and
clipped several large limbs from
intervening trees.
School children and citizens
on their way home for luncheon
escaped injury only because the
cannon was aimed above the
street level.
Pouring two ounces Of pow
der into the hold, and using a
fire cracker fuse, John Genung
touched off the piece. The road
startled the town.
One ball plowed into the west
side of the Genung home, cut
through one of the upper rooms
and lodged in a front wall. The
third ball travelled nearly 5000
feet and crashed through the
second story of the hotel.
