Ia claimed Bobby, as he point
ed to a big bird which looked
like a crane.
"Having his lunch" I laughed.
Must feel awfully funny to
have a wriggly frog go right
down your throat" said Bobby.
For that is what he had just
seen the big bird gobble down
with a relish, and them start
looking for more.
wonder if it keeps on wrig-
Cling when it is in his tummy,"
said Bunny, shaking from the
very thought of it.
''I wonder" / laughed. well.
If it weren't for the snakes and
birds that eat up frogs there
wouldn't be room left in these
tropical forests for anything else
to live - Nicaragua would be
F'rogaragua."
THAT bird would be fine to
have in the garden, where the
frogs drive the guests into bed
with their music, wouldn't 1t,
Foxy Grandpa?" laughed Bobby.
We went on through the thicket
and stopped for lunch.
Look under that bush there,
Foxy Grandpa. Do you see some
thing red and blue?"
Just then Bunny came up, and
/ said:
What is that little thing down
there under that bush, Bunny
that little red and blue thing?"
Frog"
Frog" Bobby and 1 both
whispered.
wait a minute, and he'll
come out" Bunny said, in very
low tone of voice.
We waited, and, sure enough,
out came Mr.. Froggie. What a
dapper little fellow he was, with
his flaming red waistcoat and his
blue stockings!
Some costume" said Bunny.
But that's not put on just for
style"
I was just about to ask Bunny
what he meant, when what
should come walking around the
bush but one of Those long
legged storks!
Hell eat him up" whispered
Bobby.
"Yes," said I. Lets save him.
It's a shame for such a gay fell
low to meet his fate in a stork's
tufnmy.' And / made a motion
to go toward the frog.
Bunny pulled me back and ]
couldn't understand why until he
said:
Don't worry, Foxy Grandpa.
That bird won't eat that frog.
Just wait q minute and see what
happens.
over minced Mr.. Stork-right
straight for our pretty little frog.
I thought this surely was his end.
But do you know that nothing
happened?
No, sir. The stork took a look
with one eye at what I consid-
cred the most appetizing little
frog / had ever seen and then he
walked right away from him.
What does that mean, Bun
ny?" I asked.
THAT that frog cannot be
eaten. He may be eithe" poison
Gus or simply taste bad" replied
Bunny.
How does the storlx know
that?" asked in surprise.
1.-THE red and blue coat of that
frog warns all snakes and birds
that he is not as tasty as Vie
looks. That is why he looks so
peaceful and sure of himself"
said Bunny, shaking his head
sadly and looking at his own
white coat.

manager of the Alcazar company

He gave Ruth this, information
in mid-week. A night or two
later, while at dinner with her
eister-in.law, brother, and some
one else, she seemed quite gay,
very much herself. Suddenly she
Jumped up from the table, ran
into the bath room and closed
the door.
After a long wait the members
Of the family went in there and
found her dead. She had scrib
bled a note: They won't be
able to bring me back this time"
This note referred to her at

with the Pantages some time be-
fore.
Thus ended Ruth. Were I a
little bit worse than I have been
and am I might have the ef-
frontery to preach a sermon or

was spotlessly white. I hope
when the final judgment comes

We had taken. one or two hikes
together over the mountains, and
the picture of Jordan Pond is
still vivid in my mind as viewed
from a mountain ledge many
hundreds Of feet directly above.

CHAPTER LII
The Vaccinations against o.

1916 and the long-drawn-out court
proceedings in the case covered
several months Of the year fol-
lowing. I did not havet any ac-
tive part In the denouement be-
cause I was on prolonged
spree, living in the East Side
''slum" district of Nav York
with 'The Queen Of Spades"
about which 1 shall tell later. l
have, however, at the present
moment, practically all the facts
connected with that disgraceful
effort to besmirch an innocent
man. l have just had a two
weeks conference with Osborne
and his secretary, who came all
the way from New York to
Arizona that might get every
thing straight and authentic.
Osborne is now engaged in the
preparation of a book covering
his entire experience at Sing
Sing. From what 1 have seen
of the manuscript, it will be one
OF the most startling books ever
written. And although Osborne
ultimately resigned the warden

only after complete vindication,
and was subsequently appointed

at Portsmouth, New Hampshire,
where he remained in charge
nearly four years.
In view of the intimacy / had
with many of the principal con-
spirators against Osborne and the
effect which the distracting in
trigues had upon me personally,
! feel impelled to set forth some
of the facts. 1t must be remem-
bered that I was an ex-convict
laboring under the delusion that
most OF the stories I had heard
about graft and lack Of prin-
ciple among men in public office
were untrue, or, at least, exag-
gerated.

FORTY FIVE LIVES LOST
IN DUST EXPLOSIONS
DURING YEAR OF 1924

By International Labor News Service.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. IT.
Forty-five lives were lost, % workers
were injured, and approximately $3,-
100000 worth of property was de-
stroyed in dust explosions and result
ing fires in the United States during
the last year, it is disclosed by statis-
ties compiled by Hylton R. Brown. Of
the United States Bureau of Chenis-
try, and made public through the
American Chemical Society.
There are in this country, according
to the summary, $4,000 establishments
manufacturing dusty products, such
as starch, feed, cocoa, spice, sugar, or
producing dust during the manufac-
ture of wooden ware, aluminium ware,
corks, etc.
Danger in Storage Plants e
The dust explosion hazard present
in these plants exists also in smaller
degree, it is said, in the thousands Of
warehouses, transfer stations, and
similar establishments where large
quantities of the dust or dusty ma
terial are handled either in bulk or
package form.
Last years explosions and fires, It
was reported, occurred in starch-man-
ufacturing plants, woodworking estab-
lishments, leather grinding mills, feed
mixing plants, and grain elevators
industries in which, it is said, the dust
explosion hazard is generally recog-
nized.
The bureau has developed prevent
i've measures for hazards common to
all plants, but it warns that individual
hazards must be thoroughly studied.
Investigations by the Bureau Of
Chemistry of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture have shown
that practically all combustible dusts
and some dusts not generally consid-l
cred combustible will" Mr.. Brown as
serted, explode with violence under
favorable conditions, when mixed with
the proper proportion of air and ignit-
ed by flame, spark, or other source
of ignition.
Spontaneous Blasts Unknown
No record Of spontaneous dust
explosion has ever been obtained. A
spark, flame, or other source of igni-
ton must be present to ignite the
dust. The conditions necessary for
an explosion are sufficiently common
and occur often enough in manufac-
turing plants to Indicate to the man
agement the necessity of giving seri-
