 He looked at the girl. vital, allur- ing pretty, and glowing with health. Yes, he assured himself. she certainly was real. And yet, it all seemed so fantastic, so like an Ara bian Night tale. Had he been told such a thing had transpired here in these hills, where he had hunted and prowled since he was small boy, he would have said it was the prattle of fool. or monumental liar.
 But why. he asked himself. had this man Sweeney gone to all tbe trouble and expense of equipping this place, of hiring and keeping n men, four of them. doubtless. high salaried men, here for months? This property belonged to Jack and him. What right had Pat Sweeney to set up a laboratory on their property without their permission? And where did they come in on the deal, anyway?
 Thus did Tony cogitate, as he stood for moment looking around the chamber. The girl must have guessed, from the expression in his eyes and on his face. something Of his thoughts.
 'It may seem to you" she said. breaking in on his reflections sud dently, in the direct manner that was peculiarly her own, that Pat Sweeney had a lot of nerve. taking matters into his own hands this way without consulting Mir. Stuart or you. Perhaps I'd better explain.
 "1n brief, Tony, this is tn situa- tion: It is Dads intention. provid- ing he can make terms with MT. Stuart and you, to have you two men truck this ore to Pittsburgh. You could have nothing to do with the loading or unloading; you would just do the driving.

 "Now. get this straight Tony. Dad is fair. He is willing to let others profit as we'll as himself. But he has taken many chances in putting this work through, and he wants his share. As the matter stands right now, Dad is tn only person who can carry on this work successfully to profitable finish.

We wonder if some of the lead
ers of things fraternal ever stop
to consider the rising cost of
fraternities, and its effect on our
organizations. 1t seems as though
little thought is paid to this phase
of the matter, so long as certain
officers get their fees. There
must be halt called, or some of
our organizations are going on
the rocks. Some thought must
be taken of our groups economic
conditions, for, after all, it is the
ordinary working people who pay
the bills. We are taxing the
organizations out of all proper
ton to the benefits we derive
and common sense dictates that
no matter how alluring the glitter
of regalia and the high-sounding
titles of Grand Moguls. there is
a limit to vanity when it is sap
ping our economic life. At our
gland meetings, some one is al
ways on hand with some little
scheme whereby they can annex
some of the organizations cash.
Let us stop, and pay some atten-
ton to the murmur that is going

Many of our group are attack
ing the 18th amendment on the
ground of personal liberty. They
would weaken the enforcement
of this law because it interferes
with their taking a social drink.
Now while We have no particular
liking for this amendment and
the Volstead enforcement act we
recognize the fact that to break
down law enforcement has a far
reaching effect on the body poll
tic; while we believe that if this
nation had enforced all amend
ments in good faith, there would
be no trouble enforcing the 18th,
But the people Or public opinion
is deaf to enforcing laws that do
not appeal to them. Thus the
breakdown of law enforcement.
But OF all groups in this country
we least of all can afford to line
up with law-breakers. We have
too much at stake. Our very life,
liberty, and pursuit of happiness
are in the balance.

That electricity must have been

times asserted, but now comes for
ward an electrician at Munich, one
Stadelmann, who has been In times
past an archeOlOgist, to assert that he
found In Egypt, In buried walls, indi
cations denOting the use of electric
lamps. He claims that Moses brought
electricity from Egypt and that there
are Biblical paragraphs which will
bear him out In his statement that
lightning rods were In use In the TEN
pie at Jerusalem. Stadelmann believes
that the serpent of bronze of Moses
was nothing more nor less than al
ordinary lightning rod such as Is In
use today.
He points out, further. that the Ark
Of the Covenant, made as 1t was Of
wood and adorned inside and out with
gold, constituted a verltable Leyden
jar which communicated with light
ming rod on the roof. and that It was
so arranged that, under determined
conditions, 1t could be charged with
electric fluid and produce the death of
any ignorant person daring to enter
the sacred precincts of the ark with
out necessary precautions.
