Where Loudest Noise Arises

The loudest or noisiest attack on en-
forcement OF liquor laws comes from the
localities in which there is little, if any,
local effort to enforce the liquor law. 1t
is from these locations that comes the
abuse OF government agents and the ridi-
cule of government efforts. From these
sources comes the statement, more or less
true, that crime is increasing, but it will
be generally noticed that in the commune
ties where crime is increasing, there is
very little, il any, local enforcement of
the liquor law
If the ultimate conclusion is that tho
federal government must take over all
enforcement then the public must be pre-
pared to carry the additional tax burden,
as it would appear to go without ques-
ton, that If trading at home is economic
cal for the taxpayer, SO law enforcement
at home is economical for him. 1t must
be conceded that every local police Of
fcer can be instrumental in enforcing the
law at home If business men, the mer-
chant, and the banker will demand local
enforcement, as emphatically as he urges
trading at home, he will soon have law
abiding community.

fore him, and his head rested on his
rolled mantle.
An hour passed. He was weary, but
he dared not let himself drop off to
sleep. Idly he watched the men who
went to and fro at the top of the cliff.
One particularly attracted his atten-
ton This man did not move. but
stood, observant, outlined against the
sky.
Antonius raised his head to watch
as the man, too far away for his fea-
lures to be visible, slowly lifted his
right arm.
AS If at this signal, spear head
|clattered. against the rock at Antonius'
ear. A man leaped around the corner,
and hurled himself upon the PROSTATE
soldier. A knife ripped into. Antonius'

soon as the moment arrived to strike.
The struggle was brief and furious.

lifted one arm to. free himself. An
tonius seized his wrist and twisted 1t
behind him. At the same moment he
brought the foot of his sound leg up

heave, hurled him off the path.

to his master. The Arabian Obeyed,

farewell.

nused Antonius. "Or perhaps be King
Of Arabia. Oh, WELL" He sighed. The
immediate prospect was not bright,
and he was very hungry.
No sound at all came from the
farther side of the turn. Far above,
Antonius could see men standing on
the brow of the cliff, evidently watch
ing, but there was no sign that any
had found a way to Chamber down.
BY way of experiment, he. took q
javelin, and cast it in. the direction of
the besiegers. with his left hand.
There was no sound, and he could not
tell whether it had stuck foe or
not.
He listened intently. The rain had
ceased in one of it's sudden pauses.
He. put out his helmet again on the
point of his sword, and waited. Moth

The voices on the other side recon:
menced. Antonius could make out
the sharp, authoritative voice Of an
officer. The voices stilled. Warily, the
soldier made ready for another attack,
but none came.
After an interval he dropped his
sword again.
The rain was falling now in gusts
At one moment it would cease alto

rents, followed in turn by another lull.
AS one binding storm passed An
tonius ssaw, from the corner of his
eye, a man running from the under
brush behind him. :"
An instant later he recognized the
Arabian who had carried away the
chief. The man carried two spears un-
der his arm and a collection Of jave-
Inns. Two swords hung from his girdle.
The Arabian dropped these weapons
at Antonius' feet. and began. by use
of his hands and contortions Of his
face, to convey as best he could what
had befallen him and his master. He
pointed in the direction from which
he had come; made motions as II piling

mouth and tapped his stomach. The
tribesman placed his hands over his

deep hollow.

tonius said. "All right. Here, before

The nearest bowman's back was to-
ward him. Others of the guard were
clustered together as closely as they
could manage, engaged in a parley.
One of the guards saw Antonius'
helmet at the edge of the rock and let
fly an arrow. The soldier drew back.
Further scouting was too perilous a
venture He settled himself to wait,
his sword ready.
The lull continued. Far above. at the
top Of the distant precipice. the sol
dier could see men from Herod' 8
army moving about as if in search of
a route down which they might de-
scend. They were too far away for
their arrows to reach Antonius. He
waved at them until they at last took
notice. They brandished their swords
at him, threateningly. Antonius
smiled
It had been two days since he had
eaten, and whimsically he prodded
himself in the hollow of his stomach.
Placing his mouth to the outermost
rim of the sheltering rock, he called
to the archers of the other side:
Here. You soldiers of Herod.'
After an instant there came an an
swer. DO you wish to surrender"
"Surrender?" he called. mo! want
flesh, or perhaps a roasted fowl?"
There was no reply, but an angry
tumult of voices arose that echoed
against the opposite wall of. the ravine.
Antonius. grinning. dipped his face
into a puddle and drank deeply. His
appetite eased by the draught, he
stuffed his extra cloak behind his head
and leaned against the rough angle of
the path.
once or twice he yawned and
stretched His sleep the night before
had been too brief, and his days had
been busy ones.
He rubbed his hurt shoulder, and In
spected the deep scratch on the calf
Of his leg. These wounds were not
serious, and he let them go without
troubling to bind them.
The delay in further attack grew
irksome He took off his helmet, after
q struggle with the rain-soaked leather
thong that fastened 1t, and held 1t out
on the tip Of his sword. A sharp
clang. and jerk upon his sword told
him that the bowmen were alert.
He put on his helmet again and re-
newed the edge Of his sword blade. The
dent made by Omar's armlet was too
deep to be filed away against the stone
ne used, but with satisfaction he noted
that the weapon still was in good
shape.
He lifted his voice again.
You archers there" he called.
They did not answer, but a quick
silence on the other side told him that
they listened.
eff you're going to fight, come on
I'm becoming weary with waiting" he
informed them.
A moment later brawny arm, hold
ing a spear, appeared around the cor
ner and made a savage lunge at him.
The arm was Withdrawn too quickly
for Antonius to strike it, but his
sword blade knocked the spear rat

sword with his right, and thrust up

man hastily drew back, leaving his
spear in the soldiers grasp.

He glanced toward the top OF the
distant cliff. The man who had ges.

A shout came from the hidden sec

Antonius looked around the angle. A
