leaped Maybe, after all, they would not
be too late!
Jim stopped down and grabbed Chad's pistol
from his pocket
We'll this for later" he mumbled to
himself
Chad's energy seemed almost inexhaustible
Time and again the boy was forced to sit
on him to keep him from getting the knots
united He threw his body this way and that
cursing and even screaming for help. Jim
felt safer after removing the pistol; it might
have gone of in Chad's wild gyrations- At
last 1t seemed that the mans energy was
exhausted and that he was calming down.
Jim moved up beside Ellie, who was doing
man. sized job of steering the heavy boat
Have you got her up to full speed?" he
asked.
Il think so. Maybe you know a way to
make it GO faster" As they talked they
examined the of gadgets on the dashboard.
Suddenly Ellie screamed. She had seen

the Speedometer.
Quick Jim! to Chad" she cried in alarm.
I'M was just in time. Rushing back to

hands. The man had worked it loose from its
hiding place under his belt and was trying to
cut the ropes around his hands with it. 1t

posted it with the pistol and thereafter did
not take his eyes from his charge He was
beginning to realize Chads cunning
As they approached the mangrove swamps,
the sweet after-rain smells of green things
came to them. Big drops on the trees sparkled
in the sunshine But Ellie and Jim forgot
to notice the beauty all around them. Their
biggest task was yet before them-to find
Charlie, or they shuddered) his body. They
entered the first channel. Now the time
to execute their plan.
Suddenly Chad, lying his stomach and
still writhing feebly, felt the butt of some
thing cold and steely pressed into his back.
Twisting his face around he looked into the
cold. calculating eyes of Jim, covering him
with the pistol
Now you turn over Chad Hurst" said
Jim crisply land sit up and tell US which way

"Oh, yes. you are!" said Jim determinedly,
pressing the weapon more firmly into his back.
I'm not afraid to Shoot and I'll do it in two
minutes if you don't do what say. Now sit

Chad cried out, and began to realize that the

The Blackboard
WARDEN SPEAKS AT SCHOOL
NO. is

Last Friday, Mr. Watson, the county
game warden, gave talk on the pre-
datory animal drive that has started.
The larger part of his talk he de-
voted to explaining the difference be-
tween birds which are detrimental to
game birds and those that are not
harmful but even help clean up bugs
and mice. He explained that fast flying
birds are generally predatory while
those that fly slowly are harmless.
Some birds that are protected are
the barn owls, screech owls, and the
bald eagles.
The raven is placed first on the list
of predatory birds, since 1t is fore
most in the destroying of birds nests.
The 1nagpie comes second, for about
the same reason.
This campaign is just starting and
it is hoped that everybody will take
part SO as to make this good place
for upland and migratory game birds
This campaign is being carried on
very successfully in other parts of the
state and it is hoped that ever increas-
ing predatory birds will be reduced to
a place where the game birds will have
a chance to increase.

DIRECTOR APPROVES
TUBERCULOSIS SEALS

Recognizing tuberculosis as major
public health problem, DR.. E. R. Coffey,
state director of health, commends the
work of the Washington tuberculosis
Association and urges the purchase Of
Christmas Seals to finance the pro-
gram of education and prevention.
Great progress has been made in
the fight against tuberculosis, but with
857 deaths during the year of 1888,
there is long way to go before efforts
can be relaxed in this warfare
"The washington tuberculosis As
ISOLATION has been vital force in the
fight and it is sincerely urged that
the association be enabled to continue
it's efforts at even greater degree by
this years sale of Christmas Seals now
available throughout the state"
Interest in the control of tubercu-
losis is more widespread than ever be-
fore and increased returns for the seal
sale will make it possible for the as
ISOLATION and it's thirty-four affiliated
county leagues to continue and extend
the tuberculosis program.

Two very exciting games were played
here Friday night, one between the

The girls game began with White

and White Bluffs, for while, kept
ahead by lead of only 6 points. The
game ended with White Bluffs the VIC
tors with score of 26-14.
The boys game kept the audience
breathless. First one side and then the

throughout the game. The town team
won by score of 1927. The town
team consisted of Bill Currens of
Priest Rapids, Joe and Emil Wagner,

seys were too small and the trunks
were not any too big. A letter has been
written requesting an adjustment. Six
of the suits were purchased. The boys
are wearing the trunks, however, and
they appear very well from the floor.

Christmas will soon be with us again;

ity, the depression" still has the most
Of us in it's grip, even though its
clutches may be relaxing little.
1t is hard to be cheerful when hard
ships exist. However, the holiday sea-
son should be time for rejoicing, a
time in which we should all make an
effort to be as happy and carefree as
possible. In addition to this joyful
spirit, should come the deeply religious

be gagged only by . sort Of therapeu-

Warrington. Oct. 2l.-Between
yawns Of ennui induced by q sure
thing, Democratic politicians super
vising the party's congregational CAM
paign manage to discern Z couple Of
little bogeys which are barely large
enough to satisfy the demand that
every campaign produce q little DOGGY
or two.
Everyone Is sure Of Z large Demo-
cratic victory and there's some danger
that party workers and voters will be-
come so bored by election day that
they'll be off playing golf.
Such lassitude, II widespread, might
mean the difference Of several seats
In the House.
The other little DOGGY Is that the
elections will recruit new members
for the anti-New Deal congressional
bloc, especially In the Senate, where
you will have q spectacle somewhat
analogous to that in Mr.. Hoover's
term when q bloc OF Republican pro-
gressive senators was making the ad-
ministration very miserable indeed.
Certain Democratic candidates for
the Senate, II elected, are more than
likely to Join the little group Of con-
sentative Democrats Of whom typical
members are Glass and Byrd Of Viz
ginia, Gore Of Oklahoma, and Bailey
Of North Carolina.
