CHAPTER V-Continued


Colin had been ordered to escort an
engineer with a squad of his regiment
to the neighborhood of Dorchester
Heights. Amos Farnsworth was q
member of the squad. They reached
the lines of General Ward on Dor
chester neck. There was big UNI
fortified hill on the line. Colin and
Amos climbed to it's top with the en-
gineer and young lieutenant from
Wards headquarters. They surveyed
with a spy-glass the long stretch of
shore no part of which was more than
a mile away. A ship had been beached
by recent storm and was lying with
tilted masts in shallow water almost
directly north of them.
"That hill near the shore south of
the ship is occupied by British bat
terry" said Colin.
In the foreground three British
marines were driving small herd of
cattle toward Nook's hill. Colin was
quick to understand the situation. The
cattle were from the stranded ship.
They would be driven around Nook's

hill and ferried over to Boston neck.
They were not half mile away and
there was a good cover Of scrub oaks
for part of the journey.
amos, we can get those cattle in
q quick dash," he said. "Come on"
They ran down the hill and mount
ing their horses galloped to Wards
headquarters where in these words
Colin announced his plan:
General, few marines are driving
a herd of cattle across the peninsula
not five minutes from here. I'll cap
ture them with my squad If you'll
cover us coming back"
go ahead" said the general.
In half minute Colin and his ten
horsemen, with Amos in the lead on
his fast roam gelding, were speeding
toward the British line. The marines
saw them coming and fled. The raid
ing squad headed the cattle westward.
There was lively diminishing ahead
between the troops of Ward and the
redcoats. The raiders were in among
the trees when a British battery on
the flats in the east, began to fire at
them. The herd and the horsemen
were near the limit of cannon range.
The balls crashed into the trees be-
hind them and did no damage.
General Ward had sent out two
regiments to cover the return Of the
raiders. A force approaching from
Boston neck, was quickly put to flight.
So the two captains came into the
right wing of the army with eleven
head of cattle in good condition.

FEVER PERSONS OF
EXTREME OLD ACE

The census bureau announces that
there were only 1864 centenarians in
the United States in 1880 as COM
pared with 4,267 in 1920. That is to
say, if the figures are accurate,
longevity has fallen off in this coun-
try to the extent indicated by this
diminution in the census figures.
But the census bureau, it seems, is
incredulous-an properly so-of it's
own figures, for the officials express
the opinion that the figures of CEN
tenarianism are too large, since many
people of advanced age either do not
know how old they are or purposely
exaggerate their age. The doubt is
well warranted, for it is we'll known
that it becomes very easy for per-
son to be one hundred years old if he
has passed the age of ninety.
But why a diminution Of these
self-styled centenarians since 192O7
Is the world increasing in candor?
Or Is extreme old age becoming less
an honor in the public eye, so that
fewer court it? If the answer rests
in any degree on senile psychology,
the reply will be difficult; but like
~ explanation of the phenomenon
may be found in the fact that we
have better and more general records
of birth than formerly prevailed in
this country, and that exaggeration
of age in the face of accepted records
had become more difficult in 1890
than it was even as recently as 1920.
Certain authorities have expressed
a doubt that there are ever any real
centenarians. That doubt has been
authoritatively dispelled by a good
many cases in which an age of one
hundred years or more has been
proved. We have not a few genuine
centenarians. For their great age,
there is record proof. Can we envy
them? Is not the Scripture, which
says that the years around or beyond
fourscore are but labor and sorrow,
still true?

Until winter came, the time and en-
ergy of many officers were largely
spent in marching men to their homes

resources Of the paymaster. The new

But the redbird, as a migratory
bird, IS protected by federal law, and
1t is illegal to possess one. So a de-

statute!
Somewhere in Uncle Sans service

How Mythology Is Formed

How Mythology Is Formed
The savage tribes in some OF the
northernmost jungles of South Amer
lea worship the image of white man
In silk hat and frock coat.
For a good many years explorers
have been collecting carved wooden
STATS bearing this odd image: q white
man In old-fashioned dress, often
carved with genuine skill, with minor
details Of costume faithfully rendered.
Medicine men used such STATS extern
sively, believing that all manner of
diseases could be cured with them.
Naturally, somebody got curious
about it all. and a long investigation
has finally dug up the explanation.
More than 200 years ago a Scotch
colony was settled on the coast Of the
Gulf Of San Bias. A doctor, William
Patterson, was the leading spirit in
the venture. He was evidently skill
ed and conscientious physician, and
ne worked many cures among his bar
barrie native neighbors.
As q result. the simple savages can

Half Way Off Gold

America has gone only half the way
off the gold standard. economists tell
us, and should continue its march be-
fore we get into trouble.
Some persons think that, because
gold no longer is our standard OF
money. it is relatively valueless. The
fact is that gold is worth much more
now than when it was the basis for
our coinage at $20.67 an ounce.
Nevertheless, this is the price In the
United States because we have not
revised that portion Of our law and
have set up no gold market in which
the yellow metal may be sold. Lon
don has such . market and is paying
about 50 an ounce more than our own
treasury.
The result Is to stimulate the pur-
chase Of gold from the United States.
The treasury sells 1t at the standard
price, far below the world figure.
Here's what a leading economist
says about it:
I'VE are placing a premium on gold
consumption, and offering an induce
ment to smuggle gold out of the coun-
try. The present policy prevents
American gold producers from re-
ceiying the world price for their prod
uct. Whereas other nations stimulate
and bonus their gold-producing in
dustry, our country is throttling 1t.
1.-The simple remedy for this entire
situation would be the establishment
Of free market in which the actual
dollar price Of gold could reflect it.
self from day to day. This would
protect the stocks now on hand in
the Treasury. It would stimulate in
creased production. It would require
all those buying and selling gold for
industrial purposes to pay its market
price, as Is being done by the gold
using industries of every other coun-
try"
A good many persons, prejudiced
against gold, had hoped that we were
through with 1t, but such Is not the
case. It is a commodity which we
need and should be handled like any
other commodity. It would seem that
the government would do we'll to set
up a carefully controlled market SO
that gold-using industries may no
longer receive an indirect subsidy
from our treasury.
And besides, why make any unnec-
essary tests Of their honesty?
