half way and felt her breath come
harder, she was frightened suddenly.
Terribly frightened; as though the
sea had turned cruel and those waves
roaring in had some evil intent in
their touch. The glistening dome of
the sky shut her in like a great
smothering bowl of blue.
She turned over very deliberately

AWHILE, KY.-About three

Douthitt who for more than two years
had been awaiting the death visit OF
the warden-come to escort him to the
electric chair. Eight times this pris-

but no attention was ever paid to him.
When he was discovered, Gov. Morrow
committed his sentence.
For more than year, Steve NC
Queen, seventeen, has been under
death sentence for the murder Of
Isaac Cole, in Rockcastle county. The
boy, the youngest person ever SEN
fenced to death In Kentucky, was
brought here from the mountain coun-
try for safe keeping. Whether the hill
country officers thought mob would
try to lynch the boy or release him Is
not known.
Since being in Jail here, Mcqueen
has achieved fairly good minor edii-
cation. He could neither read nor
write when brought here. Jailer Tim

helped him to learn to read and write,

prisoner. Mcqueen never complains OK
his fate. His stoicism Is like that of
all the mountain people. He does not
deny taking part in the murder Of
Cole, but says he was under the In
fiuence Of liquor and was not wholly
responsible for the crime. He says
he did not know right from wrong
until he came to the Jail here. He had
never been In church or Sunday
school--he never even had boy-and-
girl love affair.
The murder for which Mcqueen was
given the death penalty was alleged to
have been carried out for robbery. II
is asserted also that Cole had be-
trayed Mcqueen and another boy for
moonshining. The killing occurred
when Mcqueen was sixteen years
old.
Since Mcqueen has been In jail
here, pleas have gone to Governor
Morrow from all over the state asking
that the death sentence be commuted
to life Imprisonment. Clemency Is
asked solely because of McQueen's
youth. Boyle county, in which Dan
vile is located, has sent numerous ap-
peals to the governor in McQueen's
behalf

The initial step In Harvesting this
potent and little-known force was the
establishment some weeks ago OF a
wireless lighthouse on Inchkeith
island, in the Firth Of Forth. BY
means Of this lighthouse" ships can
be directed through the dangerous
channels Of the Firth by wireless. so
there is no possibility Of their running
ashore or being wrecked even on the
darkest night or in the densest fogs.

UNIQUE Burying Ground for Pet Dogs

have been sent from Paris, from Rome,
and of course from all sections of this
country.
The bodies are contained in dlminu-
tive caskets of varying degrees OF
luxury, according to the tastes OF the
bereaved owner. Each year sees an
increasing number of graves; between
200 and 800 pets were buried here last
year.
In one ccraer of the cemetery Is a
miniature vault to receive the bodies
that come at a time wheE the grave
cannot be prepared. And in another
place Is a little house-not really a
chapel, but something that corre-
spends to the chapel in a real ceme-
tery-to which the friends who come
with their dead can retire.
In this unique little cemetery there
are some three thousand tiny graves
which testify to the love Of man for
his devoted friend, the dog. Now and
then one finds the grave Of a cat.
The most pretentious monument to
be found In the cemetery is one erect
ed to the memory of 'Toodles" and
"Sally" Walsh. This stone cost S13.-
600. is carved out of beautiful gran
lite, and is of exquisite design and
workmanship.

When the Navajo tribe heard that

on dedlcating the hotel with the ritual

of "The Blessing of the House.
In a previous ceremony the evil
spirits had been thrown out and the
ritual contained no words of any evil
or unlucky thing or spirit. Instead all
that is good and beautiful was invited
to take possession Of the dwelling and
its occupants and leave no room for
evil spirits to return. The initial chant,
sung during the procession Of the
medicine men, was an invocation to

Is lying In the port of London ship
that has been specially fitted with
powerful wireless receiving sets to
give demonstrations Of this new
method of navigation In all the prin-
cipal ports of the world.
Setting out from London, this mis-
sionary ship will sail for China, via
the Mediterranean, Indian ocean and
the Straits, and thence on to North
and South America, and back across
the Atlantic to Europe and South
Africa, giving demonstrations at every
big port en- route.
The most ambitious effort, however,
will be cross-Atlantic airplane flight
which is to be made late In the sum-
mer. The machine will carry both
pilot and observer, but their attentions
will be confined to the actual flying
side.
Setting out from Newfoundland. for
the first GOO miles of It's flight the air
plane will be directed by the Glace
bay wireless station. Then 1t will be
picked up and navigated by wireless
'lightship," cruising in mid-ocean, to
point where control will be trans
mItted to Ongar, the big operating sta
ton In this country.
The whole 1000 miles Of flight will
be directed by wireless.

- - ARTSDALE, n. Y.-The Harts-

first animal burying ground
to be established In this

Samuel X. Johnson, veterinary sur
geon of New York City. AT that time

people in city the. size of New York.
DR.. Johnson had been in France that
year, and had seen the aninal burying
ground near Paris. With the help
and encouragement of others inter-
ested in the venture he secured plot
of land in Hartsdale and laid out a
cemetery modelled after the one In
Paris.
The cemetery Is situated on a beau
tifully wooded slope, near one of the
main thoroughfares between New
York and White Plains. From time
to time since the original plot was
laid out, more land has been bought
or given to the corporation, so that
now the place consists Of about two
acres. In 1914 the cemetery was In
corporated under Its present name.
Dogs are sent here from all parts
