been launched. Arnold left Treason

never to meet again.
All that day Andre remained In the

English Feor Dirty Fruit

Dirty and even diseased Asiatics,
working in filthy sheds in squalid
lanes, are handling today the fruit we
shall be eating next month, says the
London Daily Mail in an editorial on
''The Right to Clean Food" Continu-
ing the paper says:
''That is the disagreeable fact re-
vealed by DR.. Leslie Haden Guest,
M. p, who has just investigated the
conditions under which fruit and
other food are prepared in the Near
East. Doctor Guest found that in
Smyrna figs, suItanas, and currants are
packed on dirty floors, trodden by bare
feet coming unwashed from the streets
and cutters, and tainted by all the In
describable filth of the East. In theory
the consumer is protected by certain
safeguards. IN practice, the rules are
completely disregarded and the medical
examination is the merest formality."

WORKERS PAID FOR
DANGER THEY FACE
High Wages Earned in Hoz-

according to announcement recently
made In London, men who do roof work
In that city will, in future, receive an
extra payment Of from one penny to
three-pence (from two to six cents) an
hour, according to the height from the
street at which they work,
This payment, which has long been
usual In the north Of England, applies
to work done where no scaffolding is
provided, and to men working upon any
outside roof with gutterlng less than a
foot wide
The equivalent of height money L.
paid In the United States to the men
who work at brldge-building. The risks
which the bridge builder takes can be
gathered from the fact that the Quebec
bridge cost 81 lives and the BlackwelI's
island bridge go.
You see the bridge builder walking
quietly along six-inch girder, hum

on steel beam, catching in a pail a

Divers are paid according to the
depth at which they work-usuaIly by
special bonuses.

men in the profession, once received a
bonus of $50, 800 for recovering $4,000
from vessel deeply sunk and in a diff

greatly prefers sea to land work. By
land work is meant such a task as en-

der 1t his proud nature smarted unen-
durably. There came then the indie
feasible, treacherous step which was
to destroy his career in an hour.
Writing under the name Of Gus
tavus," he entered into communication
with Sir Henry Clinton, commander Of
the British forces In New York. and
was answered by his aid, Andre, who
assumed the name Of John Ander-
son." Arnold offered to station his
troops so that the British would en-
counter no difficulty in selling West
Point 1t was a strategic post on
which the British had long had their
eyes. Possession Of it would cut off
New England from the lower colonies.
1t would open an easy route to Cam
ada. The Continentals would be
crushed by the loss of their most Inn
portant fort and its great store Of sup
plies. The correspondence went on.
A personal meeting between Arnold
and Andre became imperative If the
underhand scheme were to go through.
The Consplrators Meet.
And so one day the British slooD-
of-war Vulture glided up the waters
Of the Hudson and anchored not far
from Stony Point. Arnold had laid
his plans we'll. When darkness came
a small boat went alongside the Vul-
ture and Joshua Smith boarded her.
At Arnold's command he was seeking
a man who was to bring important
news" to the West Point commander.
A long blue surtout covered Andres
uniform as he stepped into the small
boat, and Smith did not know that the
silent passenger he was rowing 20
shore was foe of the newly born re-
public
In a few minutes Andre had made
his way through the thicket to the
side Of Benedict Arnold. A few words
of identification were exchanged. In.
half whispers and carefully loweredi
voices the conversation proceeded.
What was the number of troops in
West Point what was It's armament,
how many supplies were stored there,
in what way would Arnold dispose his
soldiers SO Inat the brltAsh coulu eh-
ter without casualties2
Arnold suggested to Andre that he
stay one more night on shore, promis-
ing he would be rowed safely out to
the vuhure the following night. An
Dire fell in with the plan and they ad-
iourned to the Treason house.
AS over breakfast they went on with
their discussion, they were interrupted
by an ominous sound A detachment
of Continental soldiers had seen the
vulture in the river and had brought
a cannon down to the shore. The
booming thunder Of its shots was roll
ing up and down the Hudson. Arnold
and Andre looked out Of the windows
Of Treason house and saw the Vulture

When Lafayette visited America a

of the American colonies lay nearly
half century in the background of
his life. When he had taken leave of

It is hard for us to realize that in
TIT it seemed nothing out Of place for
the Continental congress to bestow
a major generals commission upon a
nineteen-year-old French aristocrat, In
capable of giving an ineligible COM
mand In English. 1t was, however.
quite in accord with the custom Of
the time so to burden young shoulders
with weighty responsibilities, especial
ly If they were patrlcian shoulders.
Perhaps the practice was justified by
