On the way over to the Two Brothers Deacon said that he thought he would see Furie alone.
 Very we'll" l agreed. '1'll put in the time poking around the mine buildings. We'll go into the mine together"
 Henry stopped the ear at the gash in the flank of the Skeletons, and l showed him the shanty.
 I watched until he passed through the door of the shanty. Evidently Furie was at home. for he did not reappear. Going back to the sedan, l drove on to the mine buildings. When l had spent the prescribed half hour noGing around the plant l trudged back to the canyon. Dea- con vas coming down the trail, Wlping his forehead.

 That blocked door of the mine was just beyond the body, and we were returning silently to the slash through which we had entered the tunnel when I heard quite distinct ly small sound. Somehow I felt that 1t was of human origin. So did Deacon. for he snapped out the light and dropped his hand to my arm.
 What's that?" I whispered.
 Ssh"
 He guided me into one of the tributary passages. and we waited. scarcely breathing, for what was to happen. The darkness chung to us like pitch. And yet it was alive and tingling. as darkness some- times is. Intangible softncsses seemed to run through my hair and caress my eyes and cheeks and throat.
 Another sound. Louder, this time. And then a ray of light pierced the blackness of the slash. Deacon's hand gripped my arm. and we shrank back against the wall of the tunnel. I could hear the breath whistling in his nostrils; my heart seemed to be pounding in my throat. The ray of light expanded, dimly Illuminating the slash, which We could see from where we stood. We drew back again. plastering ourselves against the wall.

sure he didn't get into this building last night without your seeing him? He's half crazy, you say, and he re- garded you as dangerous to his claim on the mine. Wait a bit" he went on as l was about to bounce on him. "Yolf were going to ask me why he didn't finish you after he broke in the door. A crazy man is . creature of impulse. After breaking Tn the door he may have had one of his lucid moments and lost his nerve. l can't tell you why, but that doesn't affect my conclusions"
 chuckled. You argue piausi- bly,, Henry. But l insist hat it wasn't Furie. Do you mean that he killed Andrew? ?'
 "No, I don't. ogden refused to recognize Furie's claim: they quar- reled. Now, if Andrew had been found dead immediately afterwards

we would have concluded that Fu- rie had killed him. But he wasn't. And can't make myself see that half-blind old desert rat later on creeping in through the side win dow and stabbing Andrew in the neck. Besides, the principal evil dence points elsewhere. As for Dillon, he blackmailed Andrew, cer- tainly. But it doesn't follow that he killed him. No, 1 am beginning to believe that this new ledge in the Two Brothers is at the root of the thing. Jerry quarreled with hh father over it, and Furie attacked you because of it."
 You are very tenacious" I said. Has it occurred to you that since Jerry was seen driving along the Peskela road Friday night he couldn't have fought with me in my den Saturday mornins?''

Over 20 answers to Dr. w. r. Keith's silhouette greeted the edi- tor at o'clock this afternoon when he sat down to judge the winner. For such a short time, Dr. Keith is very we'll known. Many of his pa- tients wrote in and they were all complimentary to the limit. Here is Mrs. J. Zapatka of 36S Allen street winning letter

He seemed to be talking to a cou- pie of men he called 'Bull' and Nap But I saw that he was only talking to himself"
 "'Bull' and Nap" I echoed. What did he say to them:"
 Henry grinned. II didn't get much of it, but I've an idea he was talking about you. ''Tis dom shame ol' he goat like me can't have his bit O peace without them city sharps a-nosin' in. ain't it, Bull ? Whut's that, Nap? Ye reckons ye got the daylights skeared outen him? He-He-He?..' He saw me then"
 chuckled. Did you get any, thing out of him?"
 Just about what you told me-"
 I thought for q moment. Does this conversation with 'Bulr and Nap strengthen your opinion that it was Furie who tackled me in the resort last night?"
 Henry looked troubled. Tt should. I suppose. But after talking to him l don't know. By the way. here's 8 souvenir for you" Grinning sour ly. he handed me Furie's eight sided eyepiece. Ut seemed to be necessary to him. and I thought re- lieving him of it was one way of disarming him.'
 This was Henry's first expression of uncertainty, and it delighted me much more than his souvenir did, but I examined the lens curiously. We made our way to the cavern like gash in the opposite wall of the canyon and, preceded by the white beam of Deacon's torch, plunged into it's forbidding black ness. The passage was as crooked as a manzanta stick: its walls were of slaty formation. very rug ged and beetling in places. The dangers of our exploration were made clear when a ton of debris crashed down yard or so behind us.
 Before it's roar had ceased to hammer upon our ear-drums thun- derous echoes sprang up around us. behind us. above us, in front of us. Never had ] heard so frightful medley of sound. We stood until it had subsided.
 Presently we found ourselves on the threshold of tunnel, the roof and sides of which were timbered. The slash had cut across this tim bered tunnel and continued into the bowels of the mountain. Deacon splashed the light beam into the tunnel Smaller tunnels radiated from it in different directions, and l concluded this one was the main bore of the mine. Bringing the llsht beam pack into the slash. beacon swept it over the wall above our heads. A vein of quartz some three feet wide on a level with my head caught the light in a way that arrested our attention. Excited, seized a knob-like pro- Jectlon of the vein. It was loose, it came away in my hand. and Deacon bent the light beam upon it.
 "Gold!" l whispered. "Furie's ledge!"
 [....,"R[s.otten Rotten with it." Henry replied reverently.

The Fruits of Violence.
Manchester Guardian)


 The American crime wave" is terrible proof criminals, not safe cities. An article in the June number of "Harpers Magazine" explains the effects of police violence upon the criminal himself. Its author, whose credentials a criminal of twenty five years standing vouched for by the editors, writes from experience Jack LondonS account of the California straight jacket" now fortunately extincD may not be strict history, but Jack Black who has worn it, gives an exact account of it's effect and discusses the results of other methods of police torture still in His reformation began when judge who might have sent him to prison for life only sentenced him to years m- prisonment in order to give him another chance. Such a judicial attitude is still comparatively rare in the United States where the advertised remedy for crime is penal laws and violence. The humanitarian prison -reformer has difficult time in the United States. When Thomas Mott Osborne began to work miracles in Sing Sing Prison political influence turned him out, and American opinion has still long way to go before it learns that crime may be prevented easily than it can be crush ed, and that scientific and personal treatment is more likely to reclaim the criminal than is violence We have still much to learn in this direction in Eng land, but the contrast between police and crm- inal system and the American leads Jack Black to pay English justice tribute which, coming from such source should be placed record The Englishman he says, respects the law because the law respects him and because police protection" really means the protection of Englshmen, not the wholesale manufacture of outlaws whose best chance of avoiding death is to kill That tribute is at least deserved.

RACE PROBLEM IN SOUTH AFRICA.

One of the main issues which the Nationalist Party won the South African election its an- nounced purpose to establish and retain white control in the country. Gen. Hertzogs party, which is supposed represent antImperialism and weaker bonds with Great Britain and the other Dominions severely criticized the action of Gen. Smuts's party called the pro-British party in South Africa, for its action in granting the franchise to educated and blacks It professed to see danger of black control in the Cape because 15,00C of the 10000 electors were blackmen Gen. Shuts advocated granting the franchise to the blacks when they proved their ability exercise it intellgenty through acquiring education and property. Gen Shuts contended that this the practicable and conservative to pursue for it offeded the highest prize to the blacks the opportunity to CO operate with the whites. He said if the blacks denied the rights of citizenship irrespective of the
 capability to exercise it. the circumstance that they outnumber the whites three to might create a very grave danger of armed racial strife.

Hoover and Macdonald.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

There to be little doubt that Premier Macdonald, some time during the summer will visit Washington to confer with MT. Hoover touching reduction of naval armament and other problems of major interest to England and America. That President Hoover will welcome this barley appears also to be sufficiently indicated. Finally the pro- posa appears definitely to have caught the approv- ing fancy of both the English and American peoples This is the age of great developments in inter- national relationships in all other fields of human activity and endeavor. Any proposals agreed to and presented by MT. Macdonald and the Presi- dent most probably would find the Commons and Congress sympathetic and willing to assist in the adjustment of the question involved
 Both President Hoover and Premier Macdonald are devoted to the and interests of peace but neither of them is for peace at any price !" Each Of them is laboring for a rational world ad- justment which contemplates the extremest degree Of war intimidation that may be had that will be compatible with national progress and security Macdonald is Socialist and Hoover is Quaker but both are loyal to the principles of government as exemplified in the democratic scheme Each stands for the best interests of his country first then for the developing best interests of the world If and when the indicated conference takes place it is gratifying to know that Premier King of Can ada also will be party thereto This representa- tion of authority will be most mpressive-rather the most impressive national council convened since the war.
 | The London press generally praises the MacDon- aid plan to visit America It expresses also the hope that the conference conversations may include a discussion of economics as well as disarmament The Star UiberaD has this to say:
 American Ambassador is coming from a new President to meet new Prime Minister bearing unmstakabIe olive branch in his hand Gin support of peace and disarmament) There will be in the new Parliament a majority of all parties concerned about these vital problems The
 new Premier will have a willing and non-
 party behind him in any ripht co,,rca he pursues, and he takes office at mo-
 ment when the vexed reparations question IS on the verge of settlement The barometer
 is indeed set for great things
 This purposed visit holds much of promise witt respect to Anglo-American relations

SERVICE FROM THE AFFLICTED.

The world has profited a lot from the affictions of individuals. We have so many instances where crpples and those physically incapacitated through ill health have devoted great minds to the solution of problems to the pursuit of literature and art ana science thereby enrichng the generations that nave followed that to mention individuals would be m vdious However when occurrences of this sort rise above the surface it is well to take note or them A notable modern instance of this kind of service is the case of Gov Roosevelt of New York
 Eight years ago MT. Roosevelt survived an attack of infantile parlysis that left him physical wreck He was practically helpless until five years ago ne learned of work Dr. Hubbard was doing in limited way for crpples down at Warm Springs, Georga' His friend George Foster Peabody, New York banker and philanthropist but native of Georgia, had ac- uuired ownership of property down there and was interested in making it useful to those whom It might serve MT Roosevelt went down there and his improvement marked that he has con- tinued his visits He grateful for the gradual but persistent improvement of his condition that he has since devoted large part of his considerable income toward developing a non-profit foundation for the benefit of crpples-p particularly those who became crippled through infantile paralysis. Under Dr. Hubbard and corps of assistants they are now treating 300 cripples year at Warm springs at bare cost separate foundation provides funds TOT those who financially unable to bear the expense -S42 week Plans for the enlargemnt of the in stitution being worked out.
 So successful has been this foundation that fourteen other similar places have been developed or are in of development. Gov. Roosevelt is engaged in putting the State of which he IS Chief Executive behind the most gigantic institution for the aid of crppes that has ever been attempted He proposes to utilize much as might be neces- sary of the HOO New York State has ac- quired at Saratoga Springs. Qt is worthy of men tion that George Foster Peabody, more than anyone else, is entitled to credit for the public ownership of so much of Saratoga Springs0
 MT Roosevelt has rendered signal public service in the past and is making remarkable Governor of the Empire State, but it would not be surpris- ing if in the end his greatest service to mankind would be that which he is rendering to crpples the direct result of his affliction.

THOSE TARIFF PROTESTS.

The old fashioned protectonist will not be dis mayed by the protests of twenty-five nations against the proposed new tariff schedules The old fashioned protectonist usually worked the theory that an American tariff schedule that hurtful to the trade of a foreign country was beneficial to our country Therefore, protest from foreign coun- try regarded the best proof of the virtue of tariff schedule.
 There is tendency to change this attitude, how ever, since we have become great manufacturing nation and exporter of manufactured goods. Inter- national friendliness is asset in building foreign trade that not being overlooked by shrewd busi- ness men.
