BIunts the Anger

Kestner's first move was as
odd, as it was prompt. He drew
out his revolver, feeling with his
left hand along the p1ank-face for
that ever-turning point of steel.
When he had found it he caught
his fire-arm by the barrel and the
grip, holding it horizontally and
pressing heavily down on the
point where the auger was emerg-
ing from the pierced wood. He
held the hardened metal of the
stock firmly against the cutting
ledge Of that revolving anger,
knowing that a few turns would.
blunt the edge beyond repair. But
he made sure of his job; nc
wanted that bit so that it could
never again eat its way through
four inches of oak.
Then he sat back, trying to
place his position in the wharf
shed. He guardedly felt the
seams of the floor, reviewed each
movement he had made during
his last advance. and concluded he
had progressed some twenty or
thirty feet towards the water.

other end. he knew, stood the
small office-room with the tele-
phone. And Kestner felt that
his best chance lay in getting to
that telephone and calling for
! help.

one. 1t would have it's dangers.

A Thrilling Story Of the Running Down
of a Band of Master COunterfeiters
By the Secret Service

For the second time an involun-
tary thrill sped through his body.
His hand had fallen on the re-
volving sharp steel point of an
anger boring up through the
wharf floor.
He knew then, in flash, that
his plans had gone astray. that
Whitley McKensic and his men had
in some manner evaded Romano,
that they were there with their
boat, and that in less than half
an hours time they would have
a passageway cut up through the
floor-planking and would be in
touch with Lambert.
Kestner thought quickly. He
was not afraid Of those new
corners. He could, in a way,
handle them one by one as they
came up through the floor. But
that could not be done silently.
That would betray his position.
1t would give an advantage to his
enemy. And kestner's one fear
now was that Lambert might get
away, that something might in
tervene between him and the
fugitive and his capture. And it
was too late to waste energy OH
interlopers. and too late to be
sidetracked from his one end in
life.

He had done could be seen.
Mr.. Collins replied to this man,
that if he believed this doctrine he
could not believe that he had brains
because he could not see them" The
man said that he would believe
there was a God if he could be
shown some miracle. Mr.. Collins
asked the man if he would consider
it q miracle if he could see some
thing 5000 miles away.
Look at that star in the heavens. "
said Mr.. Collins. that is not only
5000 miles away but it is millions of
miles away"
The speaker declared that this
Red Radicalism is strictly against
the Ten Commandments and cited
several examples to prove this point.
He said that it was right and natu-
raj for a man to own private
must not think that he could take
those laws which he liked and obey
them and disregard the others. He
must abide by the entire constitu-
ton and not by some part of it.
In conclusion the speaker called
upon every man in his audience to
live in America as an American, to
disregard all creeds and parties
when they would conflict with this
manner of living and to watch with
suspicion those people who as
strangers come into a town and en-
deavor to spread discord between
classes or creedS.

COLLINS SHOWS HOW RAD|CkL|SM -
May UNDERMINE GOVERNMENTS IN
talk BEFORE CITY HALL ASSEMBLY

Speaking before a small sized au-
dience which should have been
large enough to pack City Hall to
the limit, Peter w. Collins of Bos-
ton. known as "the man who has
answered a million questions" gave
an inspiring and eloquent address
on What America Means to Is"
The speaker took up radicalism
in its many forms. showing where
they were radically wrong and
where they would undermine the
government of any nation. He took
as an example Russia, showing the
influence OF Bolshevism upon that
unhappy country. He declared that
these radical and socialistic ideas
were not the product of the minds
of the workers of the country but
were introduced by others to these
people, who when called upon to
explain their reason for this belief
could not justify themselves.
Mr.. Collins next proved to those
present that the radicals were
wrong in saying that there was no
room for a God in the ideal scheme
of things. He declared that God was
the supreme designer of the world
and as it was with all things that
men knew about thing to be
created must have designer. MIR.
Collins went on to tell about his
answer to a radical who asked a
question concerning the reality OF
God during one of his lectures in
the west. This radical declared ne
