Bettington had heard no fearsome
stories of violence where Kenzie was
concerned. He remembered that the
man was in the habit of marrying in
his moments of sea leave and re-

Healing

outgrowth OF a perfect Creator.
Healing
The effect OF Christian Science
Is seen in the building up and pre-
s~ervation Of health, happiness. and
success wherever this Science is
known and practiced. Unless spirit
ual things have no significance with
respect TO daily existnece.
Christian Science denies the
physicalogy Of the human mind as
a healing factor. The mortal mind
which produces disease cannot be
the healer OF disease. In Chris
tan Science all healing power Is
understood to belong TO God. and
II accompanies always the divine.
or spiritual. idea of God.
The healing work wrought by
Christian Science is the effect OF
prayer. BY this is not meant tina.
a petition is offered asking God TO
do something for man. The Chris
tan Scientist knows that the ma
ture Of man as Gods creation in
cludeS completeness. and that man
possesses all good. On page / OF
Science and Health Mrs. Eddy has
written, Desire is prayer: and no
loss can occur from trusting God
with our desires. that they may be
moulded and exalted before they
take form III words and in deeds.

Time stretched out and yet the man
was not caught. The judge had the
officers beating the brush around

He told the police something just

FLOYD KEADLE
 SERIOUSLY ILL.
Flying Days Probably Over for Former Alaska-Wash-
 ington Airways Man

Floyd Keadle, with the Alaska Washington Airways here last sum- mer, and well known in Juneau, is critically il in Portland hos pital following an operation in which he lost his hearing, accord ing to word received this week by Larry Parks, local agent for the airplane concern.
 Since leaving here, Keadle had been flying air mail for the Varney Air Lines. Recently the company decided to install radios in all their planes. In order to fit the individual pilots with ear phones it is necessary to make plaster casts of their ears.
 During the casting for Keadle, some of the plaster reached his ear drums. It was necessary to operate, but in so doing nerves were acci- dentaliy cut. Keadle was partially paralyzed as result and his hear ing totally destroyed, Parks said. Another operation followed and a third will be necessary if Keadle is to be given a chance to recover. As it will probably be impossible tc restore his hearing it is expected he will never be able to pilot a commercial plane again, declared Parks.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Seek- ire $35 GOO 900 for the years work, Army Engineers in 1880 will con- tinue their intensive effort to keep the Mississippi River within bounds.
 The vast program of flood pro tectlon, launched after the disas- trcus high waters of three years ago, now has reached point de- scribed es satisfactory by the en- gineers.
 With the proposed appropriation, s89 ,O00O03 will have been spent Of the $325, 100000 provided for To- year period
 The latest su,n will go for work at many places along the rivers course. Levees will be slightly raised and strengthened this year, and new ones constructed.
 The 1Oo-mile stretch of leve e along the south ban. of the Arkan- gas River will be elevated and but tlessad to protect southeast Arkan- sas and northeast Louisiana from possible inundations. Army en- ginecrs say they consider the lat ter levee the weakest section of the Mississippi system. The leYecs n the vicinity of the mouth of tho Ohio this year are to be raised about three feet, and work is to be vigorously pushed on construction of an emergency set back levee between Birds Point and New Madrid, Mo, about five miles from the regular levee About 30 miles long, it is expected to take care of TO miles of river.
 To safeguard New Orleans, term ed the point of greatest value, en- gineers have an ambitious program in the Bonnet Carree control spill way, which is expected to be com pleted within two years.
 This spillway, near the Crescent City, opens into LaEo Ponchartrain and will be used to keep the gauge at New Orleans below the danger line.
 Most of the work on the great project is by contract with the trend this year toward larger con tracts. Reyetments, however, are constructed by Government plants and hired labor.
 It is explained that the plant necessary for the latter work is sc expensive and the work so uncer- tain and varying that no contractor has found it expedient to purchase the necessary equipment.

SYNOPSIS: The San Lucas Island estate of Don Parados, interruptions, hated tyrant of his own secluded domain, is pervaded by a spirit of omi- nous fear. Allan Hunt, who comes to check on Parados' art collection, is perplexed by the outbursts of strange behavior at every turn. Parados sends Hunt to his room and retires to his library, announcing he won't attend dinner that night. Hunt by chance, discovers a comely girl apparently trying to steal 8 portrait from Parados' collee- ton. He interrupts her and is struck by her beauty. 4 queer little man, who introduces him self as Anatole Fiique, appears and takes charge of the situa- ton. The girl reveals herself as Caroline Brent, last of the family whose art collection Parados once bought. Flique pcrsuades Caroline to stay for dinner, assuring her that Par ados won't be there.
