1T ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU
MEAN BY 1T.

The French associate the idea of
liberty with the idea Of wine. For the
Englishman liberty means beer. unless
it means Scotch :.
So the point is not ia: 10 seek ~
the story from the London Post of the
Frenchman. sailing w New York har-
Dor, who said when the Statue of Lib
erty was pointed out to him: I'VE also
erect statues to our llustrious dead"
However, if the Frenchman used his
eyes after coming ashore he would
have had TO admit that liberty in
America wasn't as dead as he thought
itw as. The bootleggers don't seem to
be suffering from any lack of liberty.

WE BIRD-DOG MEN"

President Coolidge has tentatively &C.
cepted the gift of a wire-haired fox
terrier.-News item.
Wonder what bird-dog man thinks
about as he reads the above?
Another disappointment! No Won
der our Presidents go around looking
for imitation fun-golf, for example.
And what sport. we ask to know. is
there in window-shopping? There might
be some excuse for that sort OF thing if
the President was training a setter pup
the stuffed birds in the show windows
might serve some purpose
IT'S been long time since the coun-
try had a Nimrod for a President No
wonder the world is going to the dogs.
We bird-dog men have the reputation
of being 4 queer lot; somebody said
recently that were crazy. But its a
libel. Not that we have any aversion
for Airedales and wire-haired fox ter
riers. They're simply beneath our no.
tice Now, if w. ]. B. was in the White
House it might be appropriate to have
an Airedale monkeying around the
place. And it seems to us that wire
haired fox terrier, with its permanent
waves. would be just the ticket for
Lady President.
But an outstanding. staunch bird-dog,
even if he never had chance to smell
gunpowder, wou'd lend dignity end dis
tinction to the White House grounds.
And ii the President would follow where
such dog would lead-well. ask any
bird-dog man what would happen. The
only trouble would be that the Depart
ment of Justice would have to double
the detective force assigned to tie
President; he might not want to come
back
1--WE might compromise even on a |
houn' dawg. And we can see some use
for bulldog at the front door of the
White House; there are too MANY pie
hunters among the visitors. Houn'-
dawg men say that there's no thrill like
that Of the chase. A pack in full cry
does make some music. we'll admit |
Some houn' dawgs make notes like a |
piccolo, and others sing deep bass, and
together they beat the band.
But let a brace of pedigreed, we'll
trained bird dog flash over a field, quar-
tering the ground, and suddenly strike
a statuesque pose-then the man be-
hind them knows perfect joy. He may
not even have gun; yet the world of
trouble becomes an utter blank-it is |
There is nothing under
the sun, for the moment, except the
picture before his eyes, and no artist
could improve it. There is no future
the past never was. All time is locked
up in the present-and the pulses leap
to the call of ineffable bliss.
Maybe we bird-dog men are bit
dippy. But who in full possession of
his senses wouldn't be. after reading
that the President of the United States,
with all his opportunities for real sport,
has accepted a vest-pocket canine as his
official pet. Why doesn't the President
get himself dog that can chase some
thing besides cats. rats and fleas? That's
what we bird-dog men ask to know.
And ii any OF the candidates in the
forthcoming presidential race has any
about vote-getting, he'll an
nounce in advance that the mascot of |
his administration will be-guess what?
Well. we bird-dog men are not going to
be so foolish as to give ourselves away.

Begin Here Today.

Mark Brendon, famous crlmina
investigation. is trying to solve TO
Jenny Pendean the mystery of thu
disappearance of her husband
Michael. Pendean is last seen in thu
company of Jenny's uncle. Rober
Redmayne, when the two visit ;
bungalow being erected by Michae
near Foggintor Quarry.
Blood is found on the cottage floor
and witnesses testify to having
seen Robert ride away on his motor
bicycle with heavy sack behind
| the saddle.
Jenny goes to live with her uncle
Bendigo Redmayne, and Brendon
visits her there. Mark meets Giu-
seppe Doria, who works for Bendigo
On the road leading to his hotel,
Mark sees Robert Redmayne but
fails to capture him. Jenny and
Doria find Robert and arrange for
him to meet Bendigo. Now go with
the story.
Bendigo spoke. not to Doria, but to
the man in hiding.
Come right out Brendon.' he
said. "The games up for tonight. ="
Mark emerged and Giuseppe gazed
in establishment.
"Corpo di Bacco.' he swore.
Then you heard my condolences.
You are sneak"
STOW that cried Bendigo.
"Brendon's here because l wished
it. Shall / go out to the man, or
has he gomez"
Il am a servant for the moment
and my duty is to Mr.. Redmayne.o
Doria answered. "This is the mes
sage that | have been told to bring.
lie is hiding now near the place
where Mrs. Pendean and 1 found
him, in a cave beside the sea. 1t
opens upon the water and it can be
approached by boat. But there is a
way also inside, that enables him to
creep down into the cave from the
cliffs behind it. He will be in this
place until his brother comes, to-
morrow night after twelve o'clock.
He will light his lamp in the cave,
and when the light is seen from the
launch, you will put in and come to
him."
Bendigo turned to Brendon.
III ask you to hold off until I've
seen the poor chap. AS a brother i
ask it."
Trust me. It's quite understood
that nothing shall be done now until
You have seen him and reported. 1t
may not be regular, but common
humanity suggests that"
With morning Bendigo proved
grumpy and DESTROYS to be left
alone.
He came down 10 luncheon and.
after that meal. Doria conveyed
Brendon in the launch to Dart
mouth, where Mark visited the
police station and explained the need
for further delay. He telephoned to
Scotland Yard and presently re-
burned to "Crow's Nest"
DORA landed Brendon and then
put off again, going slowly down the
coast.
The night came at last-very dark
overhead but clear and calm. The
tide was just making and midnight
had struck when Bendigo Red

They went back into the cave TO-

TRY 1T ONCE

What's the use 10 be sa
What's the use to sigh?
There's no use TO wear a frown.
No use to fuss and cry.
Why not always be cheerful.
Why not look on the sunny side?
Can't you find the silver lining
Or have you ever tried?
Life is really a very short day,
50 buck up like a man:
Make the most of everything
Enjoy it while you can.
Always wear CHEEKY face,
Top it with smile;
You'll find you feel lots better
Try it for a while.

No man or woman who eats lots of meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says well-known authority.

The Fable of the Apprehensive Sparrow

Once there was a Proper little
Female who Fluttered and was inter.
I ested in Movements. She was borr
about the time that Congress tried
TO impeach Andy johnson. All she
knew about Petting was what she
had Read in Glyn and the Maya
| zines.
Time and again she said that il a
Man ever attempted TO take liberties
with her, she knew she would die of
Modification. At Last Reports she
was Living, but she had flirted with
Death at least Fifteen Hundred
Times.
For a Gal whose Life had been
above Reproach she certainly knew
lot about Namping. Luring. Trap
ping and Leading Astray. She was
ever on the Lookout, fearing that
some Cuss with cold but handsome
Pan would try to induce her to visit
gay Road-House and fall for the
phoney Marriage Certificate, the same
as in the Movies.
That, or else he would get control
of her Slender Fortune and cause
her To- lose it in Wall Street, thereby
putting her absolutely into his
Power.
She was expecting the Worst but
somehow the Plot never progressed
beyond a certain Point which simply
goes TO prove that this World is
full of Disappointment.
If an Agent or Canvasser came to
the House on the pretext of talking
Business, she always had her Sus-
picions. because it is well known that
White-Slavers adopt many clever
Pretexts in their vile Endeavors to
gain an Influence over beautiful
Maidens. So she always sat on the
far side Of the Room and discouraged
all attempts at Familiarity and was
so successful that, during a period
of 80 Years. no Familiarities were
attempted. 1t just goes to prove
that a Victim who is courageous
and alert can nearly always escape.
Homeward in the Dusk.
She had the Screen Windows fas-
tened with Spikes because, although
she slept on the Second Floor, it
would have been a simple matter for
a Desperate Character to gain ac-
cess to her Apartment by the use of
Ladder, chloroform her, pass the
limp Form to the other Conspirators
and then away to the lonesome House
in the Woods where she would be
held Captive until she would consent
to become His.
Happily, the Carpenter always used
the right size Of Spikes and if any
Kidnappers ever did attempt to come
in through the Screen Windows, the
facts in the Case appear to be that
they were effectively foiled.
