Find Tiny White Flower
 After 100 Year Search

Unalaska, Alaska. Aug. 20 Pt- More than 100 years ago a small white flower, declared to grow only on this island of the Aleutian group, was found near here. During the last century botanists vainly searched for it. This summer the second specimen was obtained here by Prof. George Haley of St. 1gnatius college, San Francisco.
 The bloom was first reported by a Frenchman who accompanied a party known as the Kotzebue eX- petition 10 this island in 1S15-19. Five other parties came to hunt for it and left empty handed.
 There are 332 parks and squares in Paris

Isn't there another way to escape?"

The soldier laughed over the singu-

"If your news is true" he said,
you'll have a chance to use that
sling. 1t is deadly weapon in the
hand of a man who knows Its use"
He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Have you heard word, Aaron, of the

"Only this" Aaron replied. "A man

He turned to Jared and Ezra. I'VE

I'VE can give each man and woman
only a ration large enough TO sustain
life. Our store Of food is small"
The men silently withdrew to the
f1re and sat around it without talking.
In the farther end Of the cave the
women began to wall.
The Arabian touched Antonius on
the leg and looked at him inquiringly.
The soldier smiled grimly, touched his
mouth, then his stomach and made a
small circle of his thumb and fore
finger to indicate a tiny morsel. His
companion nodded in understanding
and spoke to his followers. They bowed
and half automatically tightened the
broad girdles that they wore about
their waists.
The day passed and night came
without further news.
At dawn the women brought to An
tonius and the Arabians each a tiny
scrap of bread. The men swallowed
the bit philosophically and, waving
away the mouthful of wine that was
offered them. drank water instead.
At the end of the day Aaron told
Antonius that all the food was gone.

supposedly murdered man is alive and
well at the home of his parents in
Chatham, while two men are out on
bail and awaiting trial for the killing
at Pineville, KY.
The man presumed to have been
slain is James Eads. Dillard Wilson
and Colsom Howard are under indict-
ment.
Eads disappeared from Pineville
shortly before Christmas. 1925, and
later a skeleton, partially identified as
his was found in IA nearby creek.
While the father Of Eads was aiding
the police of Pineville in an endeavor
to run down the alleged slayers the
son had made his way across the
Atlantic in the crew of a Norwegian
freight steamer and joined the Span
ish Foreign Legion in the warfare
in Morocco against Add Ell krim. the
Riffian war lord, who later surrendered
and was exiled on Reunion Island, in
the Indian Ocean.
Eads, after leaving Morocco, went
to France and remained there some
time before returning to Canada by
way Of New York. He said he knew
nothing Of his supposed murder and
was much surprised to learn of his
fathers search for his body after he
disappeared from Plneville.

The Arabian smiled brilliantly.
With his sword irL one hand ana ms
dagger in the other, he went t6rough
the motions of combat. Indicating the
soldier with his forefinger, he spoke
rapidly to his followers. They nodded
and ratified their weapons against the
wall. >,

The day wore along, the women
cooking over the fire and serving the
men in groups. They were careful
not to mix the dishes in which An
tonius and the Arabians were served
with those used by the villagers. The
Gentiles, though, were fed as gener-
ously as the others.
Aaron had withdrawn by himself to
distant portion OF the cave and sat
motionless, his chin resting on fis
knees. his hands lax on the floor be-
side him. He had remained thus for
two hours or more. Antonius curl
