CHAPTER XII
TIL. Doctors Artificial Lightning.

The Doctors Artificial Lightning.
The boy resumed his work in the
little house on the river. He had be-
gun to feel rather wise and learned.
He was getting a vocabulary that as
tonished his friends. The new words
were a useful asset, but the fun he
had, especially that he derived from
the wise and droll observations of the
tinker, was of greater value. His days
were enriched by cheering visits from
Bony, much good food and many a
merry conference. A letter came from
Colonel Blake saying that he had been
summoned to Chicago. He hoped that
he would be returning soon with i'm
portant news. Bony arrived late one
afternoon with q message from the
doctor. It said:
please come to my study tonight
at seven. / want to confer with you"
He and Bony set out for the Dam
ut once As soon as they were on the
road the able satirist began.
'Pve told you about that girl and
the dear child that Miss SpenIow is so
crazy over. She shoves 1t on me
every day and wants to know II don't

world. Gosh all hemlock! I'd light

down. The doctor Is a smart old cuss
deep as a well. Ye know he told
Miss Spenlow to put that girl an the
baby In a room on the first floor that
opens on a little back veranda. He
said that he didn't want the girl to
have to go up an down stairs. So she
and the baby sleep alone nights on the
nrst floor. My window is about ten
feet above hers. The doctor sends for
me an what does he do but give me

noise Of its movements in the near
thicket. He wondered If there really
was any such thing in the world as
a ghost. The night grew stiller. He
dimly heard the familiar sound of
Miss SpenlOw's tall clock as il struck
eleven. Long after that hour he heard
a team cross the bridge. Slowly II
came up the road and passed. Some
where. not far away-perhaps in the
shed Of the Smithers' store-it
stopped. Was 1t Royce? He now be-
gan TO think that his waiting would
be rewarded. He was keenly alert. A
few dragging minutes followed. Would
they never come? Suddenly, the well
come sound Of stealthy footsteps
They were coming 70 the trap. Would
the mystery be solved in the next min
ute or two? The sound of their feet
was near. He could hear them brush
ing the bushes Cautiously he picked
up the piece of board on which his key
was fastened. He heard the cracking
Of the brittle twigs. The girl and her
companion stopped. She was speaking
in low tone. Curiosity checked the
hand of the boy.
"Oh, / wish that l had listened to
my father" the girl was saying.
In low tone the man spoke:
"You don't know how love you. !

you. When you are a little stronger
we will go to Australia together and
be happy. My Cd! would kill any

hearts with terror and darkness fell

ness. The girl gave little cry as thew
ned. Hidden behind the broad base Of
the big tree Shad had not been able
to see them, but he had seen the light
fling itself through the tons and
slender columns beyond him. He sat
still. Out near the edge of the thicket
ne could dimly hear sound like that
OF smothered sobbing. This for only a
moment. Then receding footsteps!
Silence fell again. Not until long
after he had heard Miss SpenIow's
clock tolling the hour Of midnight did
he arise from his station behind the
tree. As he did so he heard a team
starting away from some point near
Smithers' store. Cropping In the dark
ness he found the camera and covered
Its lens. he picked up his things and
set out for the doctors house. His
learned friend slept in a bedroom on
the first floor. Shad tapped on a win
dow-pane In accordance with the doc
tors request. The good man arose
and opened the front door.
"Well, what Iuck?"
"They came and guess that I've
got the photograph"

claimed as he patted the shoulder Of
his young friend. "Pll put the camera

Shed went to bed. His excitement
kept him awake until the Renewed
cocks had seen the light of dawn.
When he arose at eight o'clock his
venerable friend was at breakfast. He
looked very grave.
"Have you developed the nhoto-

TAXES. TAXES. TAXES.

On January 10, Senator Watson
broke thirty-year rule of the Senate
by asking that petition be read
The petition, presented by the Fedora
ton of American Business said: ITO
day combined American governments
are spending one-quarter or more OF
our national income. No nation can
stand that drain and continue to
function. The business men of the
country, regardless of party, demand
that government cease its policy of
meddling and repression and perform
the political functions for which 1t
was created"
On January 10, Senator Borah said
that a reasonable reduction of salaries
of Governmental employees would save
the taxpayers some s2OO0OO,oOO or
s250,0O0,00O year. He introduced u
bill to reduce salaries of $4,000 or
more by 6 to 20 per cent, with the
exception of the Judiciary.
On January 10, Governor Moore of
New Jersey presented a plan for re-
organization of the State government,
the abolition of 40 commissions and
other measures designed to reduce
governmental expenditures by millions
Of dollars. He said that the taxpayer
needs aid and must be helped.
On January 10, j. A. Emery, repre-

THE MAN-NoT HIS CAR.

According to brief article In The
Safe Driver, publication Of the Ma
tional Safety Council about 80 per-
cent Of all motor vehicle accidents can
be charged to three things: Bad
judgment, carelessness and stupidity.
In a recent study of over million
motor accidents, it was found that the
entire share of fatal accidents attri-
suitable to defects in the car amounts
I'd to only about II per cent, while
for non-fatal accidents the car was
defective in but s per cent of the
cases.
In other words, 8 accidents out Of
10 are the fault of the man who drives
the car, and not the car itself. AS
DR.. Miller McClintock, of Harvard, has
phrased it. the remedy is to convince
man that he must live up to his car.
When he reaches as high degree of
perfection in his driving as the
modern automobile represents, deaths
on streets and highways will be due
for a 90 percent drop.
The modern highway is often con-
gested. Traffic moves fast. There is
no time for Observation-Disclosures, for
single instant of distraction from the
job at hand. Everyone who drives an
automobile should keep in the front of
his mind the trinity of destruction:
Bad judgment. carelessness, stupidity.

King OF Fruits
Valuable As Gold

The apple is most appropriately
named the king of Fruits" because
1t is both eye-appealing and palatable
says Lorna Barber, extension nutri-
tionist, Washington State College. 1t
is most frequently used raw, but lends
itself to many uses in the culinary
art. Since Colonial days. the apple
has been the favorite fruit In this
country. and is constantly gaining
more favor as the grower develops
superior fruits with good keeping
qualities.
although four-fifths of the ripe
apple is water, Its composition makes
1t a valuable addition to the diet"
says Miss Barber. "It is fairly high
in vitamin and g. and has con-
siderable amount of roughage. Be-
cause vitamin G is easily destroyed,
1t is well that q raw apple be included
In the diet each day. Apples contain
sugar which is easily digested, and
minerals, including lime, phosphorus
and magnesium in forms the body can
use.
Apples are of medicinal value be-
cause they act as cathartic, diuretic
and laxative. The laxative action is
caused by the high percentage of
water and by the cellulose of bulky
material that this fruit contains, as
well as by the action Of the mineral
constituents. An apple eaten in the
evening will mechanically clean the
teeth and protect them from bacterial
ravages during the night, when most
damage is done, according to Doctor
H. E. Barnard, former chairman of
food division of American Chemical
society.
For family consumption it is more
economical to purchase by the box
than by the dozen or by the pound.
Purchasing in this manner, places the
apple among the staple foods in the
home rather,than in the class of
Injuries. Proper storage of the apple
In the home is simple. 1t consists of
placing the box where the atmosphere
is moist and cool. A small room may
DC partitioned OFF in the basement
with an outside window for ventila-
ton.

varieties of cookery. These include
