 DO you mean that Mo- you fool?"
 "Oh, yes"
 If being absent and a bit dreamy was the way to annoy Leonard, then Jervis was prepared to go on being dreamy till all was blue. It was less wearing that letting one self go-easier-easier-tooe easy.
 He found himself on his hands and knees in an inch or two of water. He must have turned gid dy. Leonard's voice ebbed above him in the dark.
 All right = you've had your chance. If you won't take it, that lets me out. You've only to stay obstinate, and I scoop the lot. Drown and be damned to you!"
 The gate at the mouth of the passage banged with a violent me- tallic sound that filled the cave with changing echoes.
 Jervis sat in two inches of wa ter, and waited for the. noise to stop.

POLITICAL TIDE RIPS

Hoover money in Juneau has either vanished, been covered or never was. Reports have been cir culated from time to time of hun oreds of dollars of it here and there about town, begging for takers. in most instances with no odds asked.
 If this is true, men who have Roosevelt money that's not work ing just now have not been able to find it. At least, that's their story and they show every sign of sticking to it. They say they have mt offered any odds because they haven't been able to meet up with anyone willing to do more than back Hoover with conversation.
 Of course, Juneau hasn't any Wall Street where brokers handle these things on commission basis as a legitimate business Neverthe- less, wagers are laid from time to time by the more or less sport ivly inclined on anything where there is an element of likely chance. These individuals to a man right now. so far as can be ascertained. see no chance in the rational election next Tuesday They regard Roosevelt as cer- tain winner and any bets they would make would be on him. Odds, to them, wouldn't make the Hoover end any more attractive. What they want is to win bets, and no bet lost is a good one, what ever the odds.
 And the same kind of sentiment seems prevailing in the Alaska Delegate to Congress contest. Di- mond money is reported abundant and no takers. which is so un- usual a circumstance that it's worth noting. 4s

SYNOPSIS: Suffering from harsh blows, Jervis Weare comes to his senses in a dark tidal cave, threatened momen- tarily by the stealthy rise of the tide. A flash of light ap- pears. Robert Leonard, his cap- tor, comes to taunt him. Only a short distance away, Jervis' distracted wife Nan, searches frantically for him.

MIG SHOOTERS
HAVE CHANCE
AT BIG PRIZES
Championship to be Deter
mined Saturday Afternoon;
Girls to Have Chance at it
Later

Hi! Kids, here's your chance to
win fame and fortune!
Who's the best mig shooter in
Kennewick?
Saturday afternoon at two o.
clock a contest will start to prove
the matter. The winners will be
given cash prizes and every boy
who shows up will have chance
at it.
The vacant lot between the
Kennewick Market and the Erick-
son shoe shop will be fixed up this
week and plans made for the con-
test on Saturday.
The boys will be divided into two
classes, those under ten in one and
under IA in the other. Three con-
tests will be held, winners in any
one class being barred from enter
ing the others so every boy will
have a chance at the prize money.
The first contest will be tagging,
so bring out your best taws. Three
shots at line ten feet away will
be given each boy. The distance
from the line on the three shots
will determine the winners.
The second contest will be a ten
foot bull ring and the third will be
the small "cat's eye" ring. The
contest will be held under the di-
rection of three judges whose
rules and decisions shall be final.
No kid in the community will be
barred and everyone is invited to
participate-and the grownups
are invited to come and see tn e
fun.
If the contest proves successful
it will be the first of series Of
contests. Possibly next Saturday
a rope skipping contest or some
such stunt for the girls will be ar
ranged. Among the stunts arrang-
ed for the boys is a ball-throwing
contest, kite flying and top spin
ming, with several interesting
stunts not yet worked out. The
series of contests was originated
by "Herm" Schmidt.
Come on, kids--show 'em how
you can "knuckle down tight" and
knock out your dates"
The contest should prove inter-
esting to the older boys, too. And
they will be welcome spectators.

Resurrection Morn assures US
that death is not a blind alley but

found adequate language with
which to speak of them, but has
had to be content with descriptions
set forth in such inadequate ex-
pressions as "The Land that IS
Fairer than Day." etc.
Christ's resurrection brings us
the assurance that the longing OF
our souls for fuller friendship, for
adequate opportunity to create ana
