Poisonous FlouOer

The most familiar relative of the
cardinal flower is Indian tobacco.
Lobelia inflata, frequently met in open
fields, and possessed of medicinal
value when correctly used in the
treatment of laryngitis and spasmodic
asthma, says Nature Magazine. The
drug known as lobelioa is obtained
from this species, overdoses of which
are so dangerous that a number of
fatal results have been recorded. So
powerful is this drug that it has fig
ured in more than one murder trial.
The handsome Lobelia cardinals have
been reported as poisonous.

Bees Send Scouts for Food

An eminent German professor who
has made profound study of bees
states that bees do a sort of fox trot
and rely much on their dancing as a
means of communicating ideas to their
associates. In experiments the pro-
lessor said he learned that bees send
out scouts to search for food. The
scouts, if successful, return to the
hives and then execute dance, which
attracts their associates who smell
the perfume the scouts have collected
and then follow the scouts back to
where the food awaits them. The pro-
lessor says he also has learned that
bees are unable to distinguish scarlet,
but readily recognize other colors. He
asserts that he has fed bees on all
colors and has proved that they are
blind only to the crimson hue.

Railway waited till he was sure the
hut was well alight, then he slashed
the bond that tied Joyce to the bed,
picked up the struggling girl, and car
ried her down the path as easily as a
child, in spite of her resistance.
AS he neared the neck a spire of
flame shot up from the hut behind
him.
He was half way to the water when
a figure, silent and tense as a cat,
leaped at him from among the reeds.
1t was Leboeuf, tracking Lee. Rath-
way, by instinct alone, sprang side

Leboeuf fell sprawling in the morass.
Estelle and Shorty were waiting be-
side the motor boat among the reeds.
Railway had reached the side Of the
boat before Estelle recognized Joyce
in his arms. She sprang toward him

the girl in the bottom, and quickly

From the lowlands special judge
was sent up to the Kentucky noun
tains to try a lot of murder cases
growing out of desperate and bloody
feud He took with him as his official
stenographer young man from Louis
Vile, who dressed smartly and, In
strong contrast to the silent mountain

For convenience let us call him Will
kins.
On his first Sunday morning in the
mountain hamlet Wilkins felt the need
of shave. He had no razor and there
was no regular barber in the town |;
but he learned from the hotelkeeper
that there was an old cobbler living
a few doors away who sometimes
shaved transients
Wilkins went to look for the cobbler.
In tiny shop he found an elderly ma
tive with straggly chin whiskers and
mild blue eye The old chap got out
an ancient razor from somewhere,
stropped it deliberately and was soon
scraping away on the patrons Jowis.
Wilkins felt the desire for little con-
versation stealing over him.
"This is a mighty lawless country
up here, amt it?" he began in the way
Of opening up some conversation.
II don't know said the old chap,
mildly. Things is purity quiet jist at
present"
He paused to put keener edge on
his blade, then went on.
"Well," said wilkins. ''you won't
deny, suppose, that you have lot OF
murders in this town."
1--WE don't ginrally speak of 'em as
MURDERS" said the old man in tone
of gentle reproof. "Up here we jest
calls EN- killins."
''Id call em murders, all right" said
Wilkins briskly. 'If shooting a man
down in cold blood from ambush isn't
murder, then 1 don't know murder
when see one, that's all. When was
the last man killed, as you call it, here
in this town."
"Why, last week. said the patriarch.

tinued Wilkins.

front Of this here shop" stated the old
man, with the air Of one desiring to
turn the converse zion. Razor hurt
you much?"
"The razor's all right said Wilkins
snappily. "What want to know are
the facts about the killing of this last
man. Who killed him2"
The cobbler let the edge of the razor
linger right over the Adams apple OF
the inquiring stranger for a fieeting
moment.
II done So" he said gently.
There was where the conversation
seemed to begin to languish.

Listen to me, nowp He began
talking swiftly under his breath. Es-
telle crept closer to him. She listened
as If he hypnotized her.
"You mean that, Jim? You swear
to leave that girl behind?"

They heard Lee calling again.
snow, Stella!" Railway whispered.
Stella slipped from the hut and hur-
ried a little distance along the path.
Lee, struggling in the swamp, sud-
denly heard Joyce imploring close
at hand out of the darkness, in a voice
Of anguish:
.Iee! Lee! Come to me Help me !"
"Joyce! Joyce! It's 1! It's Lee!"
And suddenly he stopped. The in
stinct of treachery came to him be-
fore he realized that this was not
Joyce who called -. Estelle, the
mimic, Estelle with Joyce's voice,
Turing him to destruction.
Out of the dark blow descended
on his head, sending him reeling for
ward. He struggled in Railways
arms.
Fiercly they fought in the cabin
doorway.
Then Lee was seized from behind.
A kick behind the kneecap sent him
sprawling on the floor. He felt him
self being pinioned. A moose was
slipped about his neck, strangling him
until he was no longer capable of re-
sistance. Ropes were fastened around
his body and legs. A gag was thrust
in his mouth. He was helpless as a
trussed chicken.
Then the room leaped into light, and
he saw Shorty fastening the ends of
the rope to beam, and Railway
standing over him.
A moan came from Joyce's lips. and
her body strained against it's bonds.
Railway looked ut her and uttered
bis hyena laugh.
Taking the lighted candle from the
table, he set it down in hole beneath
the sill. A thin coil Of smoke quickly
began to spread upward. Within a

Frivolous Oldsters

Two eighty-year-old men in Vienna,
Austria, who were bobbing for apples
at a party given for employees of a
shop became engaged in a fierce fight
over the game. One of the elderly
men claimed that his opponent was
using his beard to snare the apple in
the tub. Police were called to stop
the quarrel.

nected with the Conference for the
mast four years. writes, state Park
development has increased by leaps
and bounds in the past two years
and gives promise of becoming OF
even greater importance as time
passes. When the Conference was
organized many States had no
thought of State Parks: today prac-
tically every State is working Tor
their creation. New State parks
and forests are being continually
established; State park commission
ers are being created by Legislative
enactment: associations are beng
formed: in fact, hardly day pass
es that we do not hear of some new
activity"
Lafayette National Park with its
extraordinary beauty and location
on our sea coast was created wholly
by gift.
1T is now being made accessible
by highways and mountain paths
and is OF great value to the people
of this State and visitors from be-
yond our borders. 1t also serves as
a game preserve although not of
extensive area.
In Maine, we have a large num-
Der of bird and wild life sanctuar-
les in which all hunting and trap
ping is prohibited; Katahdin Park
Game Preserve, with approximately
10000 acres, and Rangeley Game
Preserve, of $4,000 acres. take the
lead in area, but over 100000 acres
in all have been set apart for such
purposes in this state.
while these closed sections will,
undoubtedly, prove of great value
to the State in the propagation OF
wild life, it is all privately owned
property and subject to change by
the owners in the amount of forest
area which may be available for the
sustenance of game and wild life:
hence the ACCESSIBILITY and almost
necessity of the state establishing as
soon as possible one or more State
Parks where forestry and forest
area for the protection of our water
sheds and propagation of wild life
is under the control of the State.
From the most casual survey of
what other states are doing, it would
seem that Maine should give serious
thought to the acquisition by gift
or purchase of some territory which
may be held for such purposes. 1t
would seem. too, that the southern
states, many of the middle states,
as we'll as far off California, are
making such rapid strides along
these lines that it behooves Maine
people to bestir themselves If they
do not wish to be hopelessly lett
behind in the new. and. belive,

tire country to conserve and make
