Check on Oratory

At a recent conference a novel plan
was adopted for restricting the length
of speeches according to their interest.
Each of the delegates was armed with
large card, red ON one side, white
on the other. After each speech had
been going for some minutes delegates
would begin to hold up their cards,
red side toward the chairman. This
was a sign that they were bored with
the speech. Others who wished to
hear more would turn the white side
toward the chairman, who was thus
able to see at a glance whether the
audience wanted the speech to con-
tinue or not.
When the number of red cards ex-
ceeded the number of white cards he
would tactfully intimate to the
speaker that time was Up,

CHAPTER XIII
Treachery

The candles burned with steady
spear-shaped flame, undertaking, mo-
tionless, so that the shadows were
cast upon the paneling of the cabin
walls in solid blocks like streaks of
a darker coloring in the polished wood
work. The air was so still that we
could hear the sea-birds calling down
the inlet, the seethe and suck of water
about the rudder, the splash of a fish,
the patter of the feet of the watch.
My great-uncle, for want of other
diversion, had undertaken to teach
Peter to play chess, with some satur-
nine advice and comment from the
Irishman; and to my amusement
as likewise to Murray's, must admit
Peter proved himself a most re-
doubtable tyro, and once he had been
coached in the rudiments presented
shrewd defensive gambit.
"Check at last !" exclaimed my rela-
tive, sinking back in his chair-Of the

stock and still contrived to maintain
an air of cool we'll being in that humid
atmosphere. "You pushed me. Peter.

months from now. Had you developed

cerning what might have been. AS
we'll seek to prognosticate the future

this weary coil we are caught in"

which Flint possesses is that I must
wait upon whatever line of conduct
he devises or his crew dictate to him"
The Irishman downed a goblet Of
brandy in a single gulp.
"Bah!" he cried. "'Tis easy enough
for you to be talking the like of that.
But am thinking we'd maybe better
choose the now whether we'll push the
fighting to Flint or pass out to sea-"
My great-uncle shook his head.
''That would be poor tactics, either
way. A fight means loss of life and
ship damage, and if it can be avoided
without loss we are by so much the
gamer. Also, the seas are dangerous
for us, as you should know, chevalier
and for another reason, Martin
agrees with me the weather is work
ing up for violent storm"
''St. Patrick aid us!" protested
O'Donnell. I'm not able at all to
make out how We stand, Murray, and
that's the naked truth. One moment
you're crying for a fight with Flint,
and the next you say to avoid it, If
that can be managed"
"Quite true, chevalier," assented my
great-uncle calmly. And 1 fail to
see that my position is false one.

policy is summed up in that"
But you don't know what der Wal

Peter, looking up from the chessmen
with which he had been toying on
the tabletop.
"And that l have admitted, friend
Peter" answered Murray.

But my great-uncle sat unmoved.
1T could be done!" l exclaimed.
"And none besides ourselves have
knowledge of it,"
Murray's wonderful, tawny eyes set
tied upon my face.
AYE, it could be done," he agreed.
"But there is danger, lad. 'Tis still

Two Arabian men. were visiting on
farm and they sat under high
apple tree.
One of them was complimenting the
Creator on His wisdom and the other
was criticizing the Almighty because
he thought that God did not create
things in a balanced manner. And
so he said to his friend to convince
him Of his side of the argument:
Look up here at this large and high
apple tree and it only produces small
fruit and over there Is a tiny water
melon seed which produces large
fruit that weighs ten or twenty
pounds. Now I should think If things
are created in a just, equal and har-
mOnious manner then the big tree will
produce large fruit and a small seed
or plant will produce small fruit,
but instead it is the reverse and things
are unbalanced in the human family,

Have you noted, gentlemen, that still
as is the night, we hear no sounds Of
carousing aboard the Walrus?"
Twas true, and had been true since
the last boatload of treasure was
transferred Ito Flints ship shortly
after dusk.
"You think he will fight then?"
asked from my seat under the stern
windows, whence I could see the
lights Of the Walrus, dimly yellow in
the thick, velvety, tropic darkness.
Il hope he will fight, my dear
nephew" my great-uncle corrected
me. II fear Captain Flint has out
lived his usefulness to me, and If my
fears are we'll founded the sooner we
can smash him the better l shall be

"And are ye prepared tonight for

nell.

pinch of snuff.

MANY CONV|CTS
SHOW DISEASE

Close connection between crime
and social disease has been dis
closed by a preliminary investiga-

prison, the Department Of Justice
announced today.
By application OF the Wasserman
blood test it was discovered that
1874 per cent OF the convict body
Of 3,107 men at Leavenworth were
victims OF social diseases.
1.-THE motive behind the intensive
treatment of diseased convicts is
the desire OF the department to re-
turn the discharged convict to So
ciety in a non-infective state"
The same tests will be conducted
in all Federal prisons.
In Leavenworth prison it was
disclosed that many diseased con-
victs were employed as BARRIERS, bath
