Rosicrucians Secret
Order of 18th Century

The Rosicrucians were a secret fra
ternlty alleged to have been founded
during the latter part OF the Four
teenth century by Christian Rosen-
kreuza, German mystic, who dwelt for
time in india and Egypt, where he
acquired profound knowledge of the
occult arts.
The Rosicrucians. like the alchem-
SITS, pretended to transmute metals, TO
prolong life and to possess knowledge
of what was occurring in distant
places. They first became known to
The world early in the Seventeenth
century, through the publication of
certain documents said TO have been
issued by them; but according to many
authorities. their existence was ex-
tremely doubtful.
The Rosicruclans were also called
the Brothers of the Rosy Cross. from
the notion that the name is derived
from "crux" (cross), and rosa" (rose),
Brewer. however, says that the word
Rosicruclan comes from "ros" dew
and "rosa" (rose). "Dew was con-
sidered by the ancient chemists as the
most powerful solvent OF gold, and

Whar Are Pan Fish?

The term pan fish is many times

that this includes only an inferior sort
of species, and others that 1t is mere
ly term applicable to most any fish

is edible. The true pan fish is COM

But with so many women and chill

counted on this very fact. Stung to
madness by the blow. he lesped up
and lunged again with the knife.
This time he ran square into the
preacher. With a readiness and cour-
age hardly looked for In one Of his

Fifty fatwoodsmen. half crouched
and strainlng forward. stood staring.
The eyes OF the dark-faced man
stretched so wide that they appeared
to bulge from their sockets. He lifted
dirty hand. brushed IL across the
wiry stubble OF his face and. like a
man half dazed, slowly shut the clasp
knife and put II back in his pocket.
Fifty fiatwoodsmen relaxed, straight
ened; fifty pistols went back into
hiding.
The preacher slowly raised an arm
