CHAPTER "
Framed.

ETdr1GO.
He saw her start, and then bend
hastily over the money she was reck.
oning. But the flush that overspread
her face showed her confusion, and
when, compelled by Winton's presence,
she raised her head, her modification
was too evident for Winton's feelings.
Suddenly he understood the mean
Ing of her self-depreciatory words in
the coach. A glance at the Sinking
mattresses, who were plainly of a
class that had drifted to the fields for
adventure and predatory purposes
showed him the humiliation of the
girls position. He remembered what
she had told him about two kinds of
more than he could have learned in
the course Of a detailed explanation.
He saw the invisible class barrier
that recognized two and only two con-
ditions. On one side you were Of the
chosen; on the other, you shared the
circumstances of the most vile. There
were no subtle nuances of station here,
nothing by which a decent woman was
recognized as such, unless she came
to Malopo in the care of some man of
independent means
And a flood of pity surged over the
young man. He STROBE impulsively to-
ward the desk.
Miss Seaton!' he exclaimed. &"
She shook her head in vexation.
"You must go away, Mr.. Garrett" she
said.
Il want to see you, to speak with
you"
81 dare not. Please go away!'
Her distress was so evident that
Winton could do nothing but obey.
"At least let me meet you a~fterward,'
he pleaded. LET me walk home with
you. 1 shall wait for you on the
IF only you'll go away now"
begged Sheila.
Winton went to a table. AS he sat
down he was conscious of the glance
of the hotel proprietor, who stood near
the entrance. The fellow was watch
Ing Winton and appraising him. Win
ton saw the mattresses glancing at him
and smiling. And then he understood
still more than before.
The 1ashy women in the Continental
dining room were there much less for
their ability to wait than to draw Gus

seat, was the particular magnet of the
place. And Winton might be a find"

Winton understood Sheila's shame

overwhelmed him. He must get the

In nearly all Chinese cities a large
percentage of the inhabitants live in
ing food from restaurants. Hot water
is sold from stands by people who
make a business of providing it. The
great necessity for economy in fuel
seems to be the primary cause of this
mode of living,

Happy Bermuda Has No
Real Traffic Troubles

There are no traffic police on duty
In Bermuda, motor cars being prOhib-
tied by law. The police are a con-
spicuous feature Of the landscape,
however, with their natty blue uni
forms and the distinctive blue and
white striped duty band on the left
sleeve at the wrist, reminding one Of
the metropolitan police in London.
Those who go to Bermuda to rest
usually pass the time driving round to
the various sights of the islands, such
as Tom Moores house, Gibbs hill light
house, Cathedral rocks, the Leming-
ton cave and its stalagmites, or going
out to the coral reefs in a tug to be
later put off in small glass-bottomed
boats from which they can study the
sea life below them in water which is
perfectly clear, although 1t may be 80
or 40 feet to the bottom, says Ber-
muda letter to the Brooklyn Eagle.
Every Wednesday there is recep-
ton and o'clock tea at the gov
ernors house, to which all visitors to
the islands are welcome and the mill
tary band is on duty at some place or
other every day. One Of the favorite
resorts is Elbow beach, on the south
shore, where there Is only one narrow
strip of coral reef between the bathers
and the broad Atlantic, and waves
come rolling in sometimes 20 feet
high.
On account Of the long narrow snape
Of the island the distances are usually
inconvenlent. For example, 1t is six
miles from the principal hotels to the
most popular golf links, and what with
transportation, greens fees, caddies,
luncheons, liquid refreshments and
tips, $40 a day will hardly cover the
expenses at either of the more popu-
lar courses, Riddell's bay and fuckers
island. At st. George, on the other
hand, which Is two hours ride by car
riage from Hamilton, and where the
links are not more than five minutes
walk from the hotel, the greens fees
are only 81 day for four persons.

Rural Education in
China Is Improving

There has been astonishing improve
ment along the line of public educa-
ton since the dawning Of the Republic
of China in 1911, says the Southern
Workman. Needless to say, there is
only small fraction of her population
Of 400,000,000 having so far the privi-
lege of being educated; but there is
decisive activity leading to further ex-
pansi0n and advancement.
In China elementary education Is
given il both the lower and higher
primary schools. A child is in his
school age from six to fourteen and
compulsory school attendance during
the period is secured by law. But in
the rural districts where child labor
still prevails and the compulsory at
tendance law is not seriously enforced
not all the farmers children attend
regularly these fundamental schools.
Usually a large village has lower
primary school for itself. Two or
three small villages combine to main
tain one The higher primary school
Is found only In the city or town. A
rural primary school usually makes
use of an old temple as school build
Ing.
The teacher, either q graduate from
q lower normal school or from a high
er primary school, lives In the school.
His annual salary is from 500 to $3.50
including everything except house
rent.
These village schools are under the
direct control of the county superin-
tendent. He Is the chief adminlstra
tive authority, but he seldom visits
the schools himself. The supervision
is done by a county inspector who is
by no means helping the teachers dur
Ing his visit, but is engaged In mark
ing down what he sees in the school
for a general report to the superin-
tendent.

FIRE BUG BLAMED IN
BIG MENOMONIE BLAZE

On Monday evening of last week
the 3-story Johnson building, the
Ferdinand Faloff restaurant and
dwelling, barn and a warehouse in
the downtown section of Menomonie
were completely destroyed, and the
First Evangelical church building
was considerably damaged by fire
which is thought to have been of in
cediary origin. The total loss is es-
timated at about 100000.
That this blaze was but part of g
big arson plot is indicated by the fact
that two other attempts at fire des-
truction were discovered there at
about the same time. A rubbish heap
was found ablaze at the rear of the
Schneider Bros. meat market and
nearby had been placed can of
gasoline to which a fuse was attach
ed. John Ausman, Jr., a Stout In
stitute student saw this fire and ex-
tinguished it before it caused any
damage.
A third fire started little later in
an old building adjoining the Hol-
land Piano Co. plant. 1t was ex-
tinguished by the North Menomonie
Fire Department.
Sparks from the big blaze ignited
the roofs of the Carter ice house and
several other buildings about town.
The Eau Claire Fire Department sent
over truck and six firemen to assist
the Menomonie department.
Menomonie suffered disastrous
fire in it's business section last
winter.

Giant From the Jl,ra
Mountains Is Strong

One of the tallest men alive today,
possibly the tallest, is Armand Bron-
ner, who halls from the Jura noun
tains, says London Tit-Bits. He Is Z
feet 51s inches in height and his
stretch from finger tip to finger tip is
close on s feet, while, as his boots are
17A inches long, his patronage Is
eagerly sought by the bootmakers in
his locality.
Bronner was born in 1890 and only
ceased to grow when he was thirty
years Of age. 1t is a remarkable fact
that he only weighed AZ pounds when
born. His great height Is not shared
by any other member of his family,
the tallest being ) feet 8 inches.
Unlike most giants, who outgrow
their strength, BrOnner is exceedingly
strong, and can carry a weight of
nearly half ton with ease. His
health Is excellent, and so Is his appe-
tite. He eats little meat, but con-
sumes a huge quantity of vegetables.
Food and clothing necessarily cost
him about twice what an ordinary man
would have to pay, and his tailor,
when fitting him, requires a steplad-
der to reach his shoulders. At pres
ent this giant is touring the continent,
hut he hopes shortly to visit this coun-
try

Little Bell Used by
the japanese NeWsboy

Here and there, sometimes incon-
gruously mingled with the practices
Of Westernism, the characteristics OF
the old, the romantic, the picturesque
Japan remain to attract and to en-
thrall the foreigner. Although the
japanese newspapers are printed in
strange fantastic characters, writes a
correspondent of the London Times,
they help to spread veneer of the
West over the Far East, but when
Japan sells It's newspapers the thin
ness of the veneer becomes at once
apparent.
Here we have no roaring boys rush
ing through traffic-crowded streets and
bawllng the latest tidlngs into the air.
A special edition of an evening paper
Is q gogai, and the blue-clad coolie
who sells 1t on the streets may be
eighteen years old or eighty, but his
procedure Is ever the same. He lopes
along with his specials" (the size OF
half sheet of nOtepaper), and for the
piercing yell of the London newsboy
he substitutes the ringing of tiny
handbell. And, even though there are
many bells rung through every hour
In every Japanese city, none can be
mistaken for that Of the gOgal man.
The flrst news of the death Of Pres
ident Harding and news Of the death
OF VIscount KatO were spread through
the capital Of Japan by the tinkling
OF little bells.

STATE
 RIFLE COMBINE
Walter Hanna Probable Coach Of The
 Squad

Sixteen men will represent the state of Alabama in the national rifle matches at Camp Perry, O., Septem- Der 16 to October 2, inclusive. These men will all be chosen from the na- tional guard. First Lieutenant Wal ter Hanna, Birmingham boy and for mer star high school athlete, will, it is understood, be named coach of the team.
 Others who will compete for nation al honors will be. First Lieutenant John Singletary, Second Lieutenant John o. Cooper, Second Lieutenant W. D. Smith, Jr., Sergeant Charles F. Fortenberry and Priyates Wallace Henderson, D. l.. Turner and l.. R. Irving. These are the only surities as yet. Others to make the trip will be named later.
 Perhaps the greatest rifle shooting field ever gathered together will be at Camp Perry for this shoot, so if Alabama or the south can cop, any honors it will be prize well worth having.
 The competition is designed not only to equip better the men who may rep resent our country in war, but also to stimulate interest in rifle shooting all over the country. Expert instruc- tion is to be given all those. attending.
