the dog should not be destroyed but,
if possible, should be caught and
confined until such time as it dies
when the head of the dog should be
severed from the body and properly
packed in ice and expressed, prepaid
to the Minnesota State Board of
Health Laboratory, University Camp
us, Minneapolis. If the dog bites an
other animal and no human beings
the animal should be continued UNI
til it dies and the head then sent to
the Veterinary Division, University
Farm, St. Paul.
"By this method, the examination
of the brain by the laboratory spec
ialists will disclose whether or not
the animal was affected with rabies.
Any person having been bitten will
then be advised to Immediately take
the Pasteur treatment to prevent him
developing rabies, and if animals
have been bitten the necessary pre-
cautions will be taken to protect the
livestock in the vicinity and the own
ed advised.
"The Pasteur treatment is very
reliable as a preventative Of the di-
sease in the human family, and if
the treatment is not taken by the
person that has been bitten by a
mad dog the disease is almost sure to
develop and is practically fatal.
The Pasteur treatment for animals
that have been bitten by rabid dog
is fairly satisfactory but not to the
extent that it is in the human fam
lily. The treatment can be obtained
from reliable biological houses and
administered by local physicians to
the human family and by veterinari-
ans to domestic animals.
GAIL owners of dogs living in COM
munities or townships where rabies is
prevalent should be the first ones to
insist on the strict enforcement of
the muzzling proclamation or ordi-
nance so that there can be no posi-
ibility of their dogs being bitten by
one that has rabies. Unless there is
better local enforcement of the
proclamation requiring the effectual
muzzling of the dogs it is only ques-
ton of time when rabies will become
a statewide problem.

CHAPTER XIV

The torpedo boat Sprite had picked
to the island; but the Pelican was
ten miles nearer and beat her by a
small margin of time. The arrival Of
the warship completely demOralized
Captain Brent and his confederates
After threat of the commander to
blow up the cave with depth bomb
they surrendered and sulkily per-
mitted themselves to be taken pris-
Oners.
Dick was not sorry that the respon-
sibility Of capturing and holding them
was transferred to another's Shout
ders. On the warship, where the pris-
oners were put through separate and
collective grilling, he learned details
of the plot that cleared up many
points.
Mr.. Blake had taken advantage of
his position Of trust and confidence,
as Mr.. Cutters private secretary, to
manipulate the stock market for his
own benefit, using a brokerage firm
federate. Knowing that the enforced
absence of Steve Cutler would create
a panic In the stocks supported by
him, he had planned skilfully to bring
about this situation.
Through the suggestion of Doctor
Alster, he administered a drug that
slowly weakened the old mans health,
gradually breaking down his iron will
until he was apathet1c and indiffer
ent. He became alternately peevish
and irritable, followed by long Pc
riods Of gloomy depression. His own
family physician was unable to dag
nose his case.
By working on his employers
mind when in this weakened cOndi-
tion Blake won the power to speak
and act for him in many important
matters. He had Captain Johnston
dismissed, and Brent installed in his
place. Then In one Of his periods of
detection he prevailed upon Cutler to
accept a temporary change Of physi-
clans.
After that the success of the plot
was assured. Doctor Alster kept his pa
tient weak and mentally depressed
until it was time to spring their coup.
Captain Brent had been to Valhalla to
install the secret wireless plant In the
cave, and when he returned arrange
ments were completed for the second
step in the scheme.
Doctor Alster had warned Cutler
that a period of absolute rest was
essential, and he recommended a trip
to Valhalla. Alice had unwittingly
fallen into their plans, and when she
added her persuasions to that of the
others, the old man had grumblingly
vi0ldad

was anxiety and fear. He started to-
ward her on a run.
"Dick! Dick!" she called. "Oh,
uncle's better !-and a ships coming !"
With this double information out,
she stopped, and painting for breath,
waited for him to reach her side.
isn't it good news, Dick?" she
asked, smiling into his face. "Uncle's
conscious, and begins to remember
things Oh, I'm sure he'll get better!"
"Tm glad Of that, Miss Alice. But
you said something about ship"
"Yes, / forgot It's nearly here,
steaming at full speed. And do you
know, Dick, think it's navy vessel
"a revenue cutter or torpedo boat!
don't know which. Anyway, it's got
guns on it, and it looks awfully fierce
and warlike"
"Where Is it?' he demanded; and
whirling her around he made her lead
him back to the top of the cliff.
There, in plain sight, heading for
the island under forced draft, was a
scrappy-looking torpedo boat, her deck
lined with bluejackets.
Dick smiled. 81 guess the Pelican
wasn't the only one that picked up
my S. o. S. She certainly acts as If
she was In a hurry"
The girl by his side suddenly
turned grave, and said the most in
explicable thing. "Oh, Dick, / almost

He looked at her waveringly queer
sensations at his heart, strange lights
dancing before his eyes. Like a man
seized with vertigo he staggered to-
ward her, caught one of her hands
in his and opened his mouth to speak /;
but Captain Barnett at that moment
appeared, a pair of binoculars in his
hands.
'As sure as you're born, Mr.. Van
Ness" he said, "it's warship. That's
good news" e
"Of course it is,' muttered Dick in
disgust. Anybody could see with
his naked eyes 1t wasn't a scow or
rowboat."
Barnett lowered his glasses, and
stared at him In amaZement. Then
he turned to Alice, and seeing her
flushed face, he grunted and walked
away.

But there was no sign of the enemy
on the way, and when he reached the
entrance to the cave he heard voices
below that convinced him he was too
late. Brent and Alster were down
there with Blake and MCGEE.
Stationing his men in strategic po-
sitions Dick approached the entrance.
Brent, we know you're armed he
called, "but neither Blake nor MCGEE
has a gun. / saw to that. There are
six Of us up here, and every ones pre-
pared to shoot the first head that
shows up. Miss Cutters discharged
you, and appointed Barnett as skipper
Pm his first mate. Therefore, this
isn't mutiny. The crew is following
the orders of their captain. Now, will
you come up peacably and surrender
or Is 1t fight?"
The answer came rather unexpect-
edly and violently. There was an
explosion below, and bullet flattened
itself on the rock near Dick

was the retort. 1--WE can now con-
slider hostilities opened. Look out !"
He fred at something that showed
white in the dim light of the cave.
There was a groan, and the object
disappeared from sight.
"Close in, men," Dick said coolly,
"but don't expose yourselves. Shoot
at anything you see"
Intermittent volleys followed, and
bullets ratified down the cave, with
an occasional shot from below. Rea-
.lizing the men below had the advan-
tage Of light, Dick again cautioned
his men not to expose themselves.
But one advantage was in their fa-
vor. They surrounded the mouth of
the cave on all sides, and while the
enemy was taking q shot at one of
their number the guns of the others
could be trained on him.
The noise of the shooting soon
brought others from the yacht. With
their quarry imprisoned in the cave
there was no need of keeping more
than a corporal's guard aboard the
Pelican. Their shots soon began to
tell, for the explosions from below be-
came less and less frequent. A moan
occasionally reached their ears. At
least one of the gang had been hit

was arrested by the Maine state po-
lice in Pennington today and held
for the Medford authorities in con-

Monagle was shot down by one OF
two holdup men who fired when the

A taxi driver who picked up one of
the supposed holdup men near the
scene furnished Gleason's description
and the Boston police later learned
that the youth was treated last Mon
day at the Boston City Hospital for
gashes on the deft wrist and hand.
They believe the wounds were in
flicted by the meat cleaver.

their views.
Senator Edwards, Democrat, of

Ontario vote for liquor sales by gov
eminent permit an added impetus for
the American -prohobitionists's
drive for sane wine, beer and liquor
legislation, while Wayne B. Wheeler.
of the Anti Saloon League. declared
that while the "wets guessed right
in their plan to put across wet pro-

again go dry, because the majority
of the electors are in favor of the
dry province.

Edwards said, lis that whether we be
wet or dry in our convictions con-
corning the eighteenth aemndment
and Volstead act. prohibition laws
now on our statute books are not the
solution of our liquor problems.
1.-THE Ontario temperance act was

Volstead act, and both were cram

more interested in the perpetuation
of world democracy than in preach
ments of prohibition fanatics"
Wheeler recalled that the vets In
Ontario had been defeated twice in
a direct referendum to the voters.
Then. he added, they "gerrymandered
ten dry districts out of existence by
attaching them to wet districts. Then
they raise the wet and dry issues
through the choice of members to the
provincial legislature. In Ontario 1t
is legal to raise the question in his
way. In the United States the '0,ts
