plan finally developed.
He must in some way keep his
MIMI # -om dwelling constantly upon
the pra sent. He must erase from it
all con sideration OF darkness, the
silence land the solitude that sur
rourds%s him. And he must keep fit,
mencally' and physically, for the mo-

And SO he planned to walk and to

tory to sla ep he concentrated his
mind entir ely upon pleasant mem
cries.
And whens he put the plan into
practice he ound that it was all
that he had h oped that it would be.
He exercised until ne was thor

Il folded; Tanar felt himself being
stripped of all his ornaments and Of
what meager raiment it was his
custom to wear, with the exception
of his loin cloth. Then he was
pushed and dragged roughly along.
He was hustled down flights Of
stone steps and through corridors
and at last he felt himself lowered
INTO an opening, a guard Selling
him under each arm.
The air felt damp and it smelled
Of mold and must and Of some
thing else that was disgusting, but
unacceptable to his nostrils. And
then they let go Of him and he
dropped short distance and land
ed upon a stone tagging that felt
camp and slippery to his bare feet
He heard a sound above his head
"a grating sound as though a stone
slab had been pushed across a stone
floor to close the trap through
which he had been lowered.
Then Tanar snatched the bandage
from his eyes but he might as well
have left it there, for he found him
self surrounded by utter darkness.
He listened intently, but there was
no sound, not even the sounds Of
the retreating footsteps of his
guards-darkness and sience-they
had chosen the most terrible tor
ture that they could infiict upon a
Sarian-silence. darkness, and soli-

motionless and then, slowly, he
commenced to grope his way for

touched the wall, and this he fol-

there he turned and took six steps
TO cross before he reached the wall
on the opposite side, and thus he
made the circuit of his dungeon and
found that it was four by six PAGES
perhaps not small for dungeon,
but narrower than the grave for
Tanar of Pellucidar.
He tried to think-to think how
he could occupy his time until death
released him. Death! Could he not
hasten it? But how? Six PAGES was
the length of his prison cell. Could
he not dash at full speed from one
end to the other, crushing his brains
out by the impact? And then he re-

Editor Times-A bankers state
ment is that a working man can live
on and be honest receiving IS cents
an hour for his work. Now, Mr..
Banker, answer this: If a man
works every day in the year, nine
hours day, except Sunday, he
works 2,808 hours year. At 35
cents an hour, his wages are 1892. 30
The banker says a man can feed
his children and wife and self on
1917 cents a meal. With FIVE in
family, three children, husband and
wife, at 1914 cents a meal, eating
three meals day will total $1871a a
day. Seven days week will total
Sl3.12h for grocery bill. Fifty
two weeks will total $682.50.
Now allow him only $40 a month
for house rent. That will be $40
year. Shoes, two Dairs each for
all five, averaging 81 a pair, will
total $40. Overalls, four pairs for
three will total s12; hats for
three, Sc.
Mother and sisters clothes at
$3.50 each will be $25. Five tons of
coal at Sc ton is $50 a year for
fuel. These few expenses total
$895.50 and the laboring man has
only $3.50 to spend on his family.
He has not paid water bill, electric
light bill, insurance, has walked to
work ever day, has no automobile,
no tobacco, no underwear, overcoat,
has given nothing to his church,
nothing to the Red Cross, nothing to
the poor, has had no company to
visit him, no Sunday clothes to
wear, has not paid his doctor bill,
has bought no medicine.
He has none of the things that go
toward making life worth living and
keeping the love of God in our
hearts.
Now, Mr.. Banker, would you say
that IS cents an hour is enough for
a working man with babies? Are
not his loved ones as dear to him as
yours? What is labor worth?

Editor Times-The suggestion of
Leland Overton in The Times to
open the breweries and put a mil
lion or more men to work should
be given some thought.
This will give the farmer a chance
to raise all the grain needed and

labor, instead of stacking it up in
the warehouses and no market
for it.
