The girl said nothing, and Winton
did not break the silence. The miles
were reeled off behind Them Winton
did not know how long they travelled,
but 1t was not yet dawn when the
desert began to give place to a range
Of broken hills. They ascended defile
between two boulder Strewn elevations.
Now the character Of the country had
changed. Imperceptibly the desert fell
away. There was green grass under
foot, an occasional cactus raised its
Spiny joints among the rocks, here and
there were clusters Of acacias.
A man baboon barked at them from
among the rocks. In challenge Of their
invasion of his domain, hurled stone
at them, and fed scrambling into his
cave. Though no life was in evidence,
there was that indefinite stirring
around them that betokens the prep
arations for day. A breeze came up !;
then a line of amber appeared under
the cloud banks in the east.
Dawn was at hand as they rode
into the broken hills. Their horses
climbed steep slopes, dislodging show
ers of stones, then began to descend
into a fertile valley.
In the distance Winton could see a
cluster of beehive huts, the headquar-
ters of the native tribe. And still
neither he nor Sheila had spoken.
The Hottentot who had set off afoot
had arrived before them. He ap-
peared out of cleft in the mountains

to dismount. WintOn and Sheila as

words, and silently they filed away into

smoldering fire.
The aged woman raised her eyes
and fixed them on Winton's face.
Winton looked at her intently She
was not unprepossessing, and he could
see now that, like most of her race,
she had aged more quickly than the
years Of a white woman would have
warranted. Perhaps she was about sixty.
Her skin was the color of dark
Europeans, sunburned rather than pig
mented, and the features were regu-
lar; the eyes lacked the semioblique
setting of the Hottentot's. 1t was clear
that she had q considerable, perhaps
preponderating proportion of Cau-
casia4 blood.
Sheila turned to Winton, and, in
spite OF his minimizing Of her prom
ised revelation he felt a chill at his
heart at the sight Of her face.
'"rhis is my mother" she said, and,
bending, kissed the old woman.
Winton stood perfectly still. The
revelation had stunned him. AS In a
dream he looked into the old creatures
wrinkled face conscious of Sheila's
eyes fixed on his own. A bird broke
into song; the tops Of the mountains
were silhouetted against the red of the
sky; nothing seemed to stir, and the
bird went on singing.
Sheila beckoned to Winton, and he
followed her to the summit Of the ele-
vation. They were quite alone, look
ing down on the ring of native huts,
and the doll-like figure of the old queen
of the tribe, who had not stirred. Evil

Arg0naut Players Score
With Sparkling Comedies

RIVAL, demonstrated that he IS an
actor of much dramatic ability with
his mature and finished characterize
tions, which balanced the youthful
exuberance of the irresponsible and
likeable club man. The feminine
roles of both plays were interpreted
with much charm and refinement. All
the members of the Argonaut Play
ers showed that they are dramatic
artists.
A larger audience. witnessed the
second number of the Deluxe se11es
than the first, but there are too
few Winslow people attending the
course for the quality of the enter
tainments. Those who fail to see the
numbers are missing something
worthwhile, much more worthWmle
than the price of admission. The
Deluxe circuit, unlike some circuits
that have shown here in the past, is
proving an exceptionally good one
and should be supported by the
Winslow people.
The next number of the course
is The Mason Jubilee Singers, con-
sisting of five people. This. company
puts on an old fashioned jubilee pro-
gram, and is one of the best com
panies on any lyceum circuit, one that
the people of Winslow cannot afford
to miss.

LEGION CALLS OFF
HOUSE RATTLE; TO
REFUND VOUCHERS

At the regular meeting of the
Frank Perkins post, American Legion,
on Monday night, the organization
decided to call off the house rattle
and refund the money paid on all
stubs which can be properly identl-
fled as being sold.
1t appears that sufficient tickets
cannot be sold to put the deal over,
and as a result the post deemed it
advisable to call off the rattle. The
organization regrets that it has to
resort to this end, but owing to con-
dition this action will be the best
and the honest way to satisfy the
public. A committee has been ap-
pointed to handle the house-raffle
situation. Information will appear
later as to whom to apply in order
to have the tickets refunded. The
Legion sincerely thanks the public
for the support accorded it thus far
in the sale of tickets.
Officers of the post were duly in
stalled at the meeting on Monday
night. Work for this year has been
taken over with enthusiasm, and
without doubt the post will have
the best period in its history.
Nothing should keep the ex-service
men from lining up with the Legion,
if they have not already done so.
All former members are urgently
requested to renew their membership.
Dues may be paid at any time to
adjutant Kleindienst at the post
office. Early renewal will give the
post credit on its membership drive.
Extensive prenarations are under
way for the three-day carnival
which the Legion will give in Febru-
arv. The carnival will be renlete
with fun and novelty with dancing
every night. Watch~for further an

WINNING PEACE PLAN IN BOK'S
CONTEST SUBMITTED TO PUBLIC
FOR CONSIDERATION AND VOTE

Following is the statement of Ed
ward w. Box concerning the winning
peace plan, which was submitted in
the American peace contest, the plan
in brief, the question to be voted
upon and ballot for that purpose:
With deep satisfaction | present
for the consideration and vote of
the American people the plan. selec-
ted BY the Jury as entitled to the
American Peace Award under the
condition.
The Award brought forth 22,165
plans. Since many of them were
the composite work of organizations,
universities, etc., single plan often
represented the views of hundreds
or thousands of individuals. There
were also received several hundred
thousand of letters which, while they
did not submit plans, suggested in
almost each instance a solution of
the peace problem.
The Jury had therefore before it
an index of the true feeling and
judgment of hundreds of thousands
of American citizens. The plans came
from every group in American life.
Some were obviously from lifelong
SCQOClIGo VI 1l4OCOAy cAl0
law. Some were from persons who
have studied little, but who have
themselves seen and felt the horror
of war-or who are even now living
out it's tragedy. :,
However unlike, they almost all
express or imply the same convic-
ton: That this is the time for the
nations of the earth to admit frankly
that war is crime and thus with
draw the legal and moral sanction
too long permitted to it as method
of settling international disputes.
Thousands of plans show deep
aspiration to have the United States
take the lead in common agreement
to brand war in every truth an
"outlaw."
The plans shows a realization that
situation has thus far been devised;
and that no international law has

POPULAR MINISTER ARRESTED
NOT DOING HOUSEWORK

Rev. T. E. EIgin, popular minister
of the Baptist church, was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Bert Funk one
evening during the latter part of
last week on the charge of breach
of contract, namely failing TO do all
the housework since his marriage.
The charge was made by Mrs. I.
E. Elgin, wife of the defendant.
The case attracted much attention
owing to the prominence of both par
ties concerned. The court room was
filled with eager spectators through
out the trial. The case was tried in
Judge Josephine Quebedeaux's court.
The defendant, being unable to secure
an attorney, acted as his own lawyer.
Mrs. Elgin was represented by the
brilliant young attorney, Kester M.
Rhoades.
A number of witnesses took the
stand for both the defendant and the
prosecution. The case was a hard
fought one, and after thirty minutes
deliberation, the jury read the fol-
lowing verdict: eve, the jury, find
the prisoner guilty and recommend
that Rev. Elgin hang in public
clothes on the clothes line.
The affair ended with a shower for
Rev. and Mrs. Elgin by their many
friends. They were the recipients of
many beautiful and useful gifts. Re
freshments were served at a late hour
to about forty guests.

j. CRESWfLL BADLY
HURT IN WAGON SPILL

Thrown to the ground in front
of a wagon-load of baled hay upon
which. he was riding at the dump
leading from the team track just
south of Front street, J. L. Creswell
was run over Monday morning about
IL o'clock receiving badly broken
arm, an injured leg as well as other
undetermined injuries.
Mr.. Creswell, after loading his
wagon high with baled hay from a
car on the team track, started down
the dump. The bales upon which
he was sitting shifted and fell off
the wagon throwing him in front of
the moving wheels. One of the
wheels ran over his arm, badly
breaking it and also struck his leg
and his hip inflicting undetermined
injuries. Although Mr.. Creswell hit
his horses when he was thrown to
the ground and several bales tumb-
led down on them, his team did not
become frightened, but stopped, too
late however to save him
The injured man is getting along
fairly we'll, but at this writing is not
in condition to have an X-ray taken
of mis- injuries. Due to the fact
that he is 81 years old his recovery
will probably be slow.

been developed to control it. They
point out that security of life and
property is dependent upon the aboli-
tion of war and the cessation of the
manufacture of munitions of war.
Some of the plans labor with the
problem of changing the hearts of
men and disposing them toward peace
and good will; some labor to find a
practicable means of dealing with the
economic causes of war; some labor
with adjusting racial animosities,
with producing a finer conception of
nationaism, ETC., etc.
Through the plans as whole run
these dominant currents:
That, if war is honestly to be pre-
vented, there must be a right-about-
face on the part of the nations in
their attitude toward it; and that by
some progressive agreement the
manufacture and purchase of the
amunitions of war must be limited or
stopped
That while no political mechanism
alone will insure cooperation among
