All copies of a recent issue of a

were just sitting down to breakfast
and thought maybe you'd like a
bite if you been having trouble
with, your car. So come in and sit
down. We can get the gas after
wards" He showed them into the
low-ceilinged kitchen where break
fast was set.
But as the driver of the car
looked around, he said, II think I'd
like to wash my hands first"
"You would, would you?" cried
an officer, rushing in. His two
companions seized the other. 'We1l,
you'll be able to get hat done in
jail"
Swearing in Italian and English,
the men tried to wriggle from their
captors' arms, but the officer and
his helpers quickly subdued them.
They dragged them from the
house into their car which had been
hidden beneath a three hr~' :
year old lilac bush.
With the men safely out of the
house, the farmer vent to the top
of the cellar steps. "Well, Nom,
you and the girls better come up
stairs now. That was a pretty
smart bit Of work, all right" he
called.
Then as they sat down to break
fast, the farmer told how word had
been flashed that a big truckful of
silk from mi of the nearby mills
had been held up and driven away
by the robbers. But eveidently
there had been some dispute about
the sharing of the booty, and two
the men had disappeared in a
small sedan.
The driver, left senseless at the
roadside, had finally come to, and
reaching the farmhouse had sent
out his S O S to the police. But the
car with the archplotters had run
out of gas, and evidently taken a
wrong road, so that when it had
been sighted a few miles up the
road the police had had time to get
the word on the road, and Maris
had played her part in their cap
ture.
"Well, you were a mighty plucky
girl to ride with them thugs, but
how come you were on the road so
early in the morning.
There ~Masis has told

wanting to pay for it, but insisting
on having all the profits. Well, we
won't let him off so easily next
time" And the dark-complexioned
man had flashed his companion an
evil glance.
As Maris walked up to the door
of the house, she felt the concen-
trated gaze of several pairs of eyes
on her. But in answer to her knock,
the door was opened just a little
crack, while Maris could hear the
shuttle of heavy shoes on the floor.
Can you let us have some gas
SO we can get to town." she asked.
We've had an accident"
"You have?" said the farmer,
opening the door a bit wider,
"Maybe you'd rather come in and
get patched up here. I'll send one
of the boys out to the car"
Before she realized it, she was in
side the house, surrounded by sew
eral county policemen. She tried to
back away. What had she landed in
now, she wondered.
Don't be scared, miss" sail one
of the men, "but if you value your
life, tell us the truth. How far
have you come in that carr"
Maris looked helplessly about her.
Then, sensing there was something
very wrong with the men she'd
been riding with, she blurted out
the truth.
We've got them" cried one of
the men.
"Not yet, young feller," cried
another of the officers. "There'll be
murder done if we go out. Now.
little girl, I hate to ask you to do
it, but will you go back to the car
and tell them-as innocent-like as
you can-that we're just having
breakfast here and wouldn't they
like to come in. Here, be biting
into one of them hot biscuits and
tell them you'd like to stay"
Quickly Maris stepped outside,
and, running down the path, did
as she was told. An angry scowl
swept across the drivers face. Eve
don't want any breakfast. Plenty
of time to get it when we get to
the city. Go back and tell them
that" The other man looked dis
appointed and started muttering

As they hung around, undecid-

called out, saint you boys COM
ing? The biscuits is getting cold"
Better run along" the driver
said to Maris. well follow YOU"
Then turning to his companion, he
said, Park the gats here. ! guess
they re a bunch of rubes. They
don't know who they're going to

By this time Maris had entered
the house, and the farmer quickly
told her to follow his daughter to
the cellar. tits the safest place.
You've been riding with a bunch
of thugs. But I reckon it'll be their
last ride for a good long while"
"Well, said the farmer as the
men approached the door, 1--WE

TITS all right, and just as soon as
she gets a cup of coffee she's going
to call up her folks. She's had her
own troubles, too, but I guess
they're over now"
"Well, we'll, that's fine, and now
I reckon I'd better get out to the
fields OR we'll never get any work
done with all this excitement, for
even if it's Sunday the beasts must
be fed"
But as the men left the table,
Maris turned to the farmers wife.

Patsy now" she asked.
"Of course you may. The phone
right there" and she pointed to the
hall.

"No, thank you," she said, and
kept o walking. .
W. media you. Come, we nc
hurt you. ALA we ask is you STOP
and get farmer give us gas. Yes?"
"Sure?" she asked, knowing az
she looked at them that if she re-
fused they would make her go with
them anyway.
"Certainly," insisted the man:
while the other evil-looking occu.
pant of the car said. THAT'S all we
want, miss. Can't go much farth-
er without gas, and there amt any
stations around. Sometimes farm
ers amt so generous, even if you
offer them money. But they'd do i,
for you, l guess"
"Well, I'm afraid they'll think
Pm a tramp, for | certainly did
have an accident and my dress is a
wreck"
A moment later she got in the
car and they started coasting down
hill. AS they neared the end Of
the hill, they saw a trim farmhouse
and slowly came to a stop before
it.
"Now, miss, you go and tell
them you want some gas, as you
met with an accident, and you
want to get to town. Then, after
you get it we drive you five miles
more and let you 60. Yes? You
understand"
But as Maris wen up the path
she was filled with a strange mis-
giving. What sort Of men were
these, she had been with? Why
didn't n of them go and speak to
the farmer? They'd been quite de-
cent to her, put her in the back
seat and paid little attention to her.
But every now and then they had
whispered together. Once she heard
one say, "He's a double crosser, all
right" And later the older man
had said, "Well, what would you
expect when he's worked out this
scheme to trick his ofn father?"
Then they had been silent so long
that Maris wondered if they would
ever speak again. They did twice
once to say emphatically to her,
"Now, remember when they ask
you where the accident happened,
you tell them, On the long road"
Again one whispered in a loud
voice, Guess young STAINS got the
fright of his life, trying to put us
off like that. The nerve, letting US

OratOriO "Messiah" to be
Sung on December Is.

The well known Messiah" oratorio by
Handel will be sung by the High School
Glee Club under the direction of Miss
Julia Keefe on December Is. The Glee
Club will be assisted by several menu
bers of the Junior College who were not
dismayed by the failure of the college
to organize glee club or chorus but
their love of music caused them to sing
with the High School.
The group is composed of Esther
Ahonen, Rose Belehar, Berniece Cardew,
Julia Skule, Ards Sloan and Jennie
Telich who will be a part of a mixed
chorus to present seven choruSes from
the Messiah" interspersed with few
solos and duets, the "Hallelujah Chorus"
being the final number on the program.
The Messiah" was first given for
charity in England in 1912. 1t proved
such a success that it has been given
each year since and has become ira
dition of the Christmas season. The
most famous of the choruSes in the
Messiah is the impressive Hallelujah
chorus. When King George I, of Eng
land, heard the chorus he was so over
come with emotion, he stood up during
it's rendition and started the custom
which exists today of standing during
this part of the oratorio.

Forest Notes
lBy FOREST oFFICE)

During the peak of the tourist season,
approximately so automobiles entered
the Isabella ranger district of the SUI
perior national forest each day. Count
was taken by CCC enrollee Mike Ger
aldo of Baptism camp. The number of
cars passing through this district
reached 101 on August 8.
Intensive care is being applied to the
pine plantations at Gegoka CCC camp
on the Superior national forest. In
view of the excellent survival, removal
of overhead shade in the form of in
ferior species and brush has been adj
vised by technical foreSters.
ut has long been an established fact,
explained G. R. Jackson, Junior Forester
on the Stony ranger district, "that seed
lings planted on areas supporting dense
growths of small aspen and brush soon
become stagnated and eventually die
because the necessary sunlight fails to
reach the small trees"
The amount of competing growth that
should be eliminated has already been
determined on these plantations, and
work is now under way to provide
optimum growth conditions for the
young pine. A more rapid growth is
predicted for seedlings cared for in this
manner. Forest officers recently pointed
out that such intensive practices were
necessary to bring the forest back tc
its former productivity.

Cholera Routed Birds

One of the strangest phenomenons
occurring with the cholera epidemic
that spread throughout Ohio in the
summer of 1854 was the apparently
instructive departure of all the flies
and the birds from regions where
the disease was prevalent. After the
epidemic had taken full control of
Van Vert county, for example, not
a bird or fly could be seen, but by
the time the epidemic itself was un-
der control and on the wane these
creatures reappeared.

Wood Carving in Black Forest

For hundreds of years the Black

ried on their wood carving and
homecrafts. They make cuckoo

there, and the region was famed for
its glass. After the discovery of
America, this last industry expert
enced a great boom, for traders
needed great quantities of beads to
trade with the Indians.
