 The two Indians reamined in the brighter sunlight outside, sitting with incredible lack of interest waiting for her to come out Carolee appeared soon, flushed with excite ment.
 The squaw promptly said some- thing, staring straight ahead. T have shown 1t to the white wom- an," translated the Indian boy, and at once the two of them arose and started away. They never turned, nor even looked back; and indeed Carolee never saw either Of them again.

 When they got home finally, bags laden with ore, they had calmed enough to watch the ex. citement of Mrs. Colter, to rest and to cat a bite, for it was then well past noon.

FOR 25 centuries a single dy. nasty has ruled Japan. Before e7o, the history of this ruling fam. fly is unknown. For the next 1900 years, various powerful feudal oarons, in the ancient dynasty of Iimmu Tenno, ruled under their own names. Then came the title of "Shogun," and the emperor, under that name, became revcred out powerless.
 Finally, In 1867, the Emperor Mutsuhito abolished the shogun. ate, took supreme command of the government and adopted, as, title tor his reign, the name of "Meiji," or Enlightened Peace. It was in the name of "Meiji," that In 1913 . shrine was built to the emperor, on the Yoyogi parade ground near Tokio. Construction required nearly six years. The temple cost nearly $i2,0o0,0o0.
 Nov. l, 1920, people came from all parts of Japan to dedi. cate the shrine. For three days . constant stream of worshipers left their treasures and paid homage to the great emperor. That same year q stamp, picturing r-~~.~~-YV the shrine, was kM III 3l5s GS. .1n tssued Ten

CHAPTER XVIII


 Never was more drama packed into a few hours, thou Jht Stuart Blake, than in those in which the aged Indian ebhed to his end In the Colter cabin.
 He did not die immediately; in- deed, he fingered nearly a whole day, But he had furnished the Key to many long unanswered questions the solution to most of Supersti- tion's mysteries, Gratitude to Caro" lee, who had befriended him and his kind, undoubtedly caused him to talk so freely.
 The old Medicine Man sent for his squaw and instructed her to be Carolees guide with the boy in- terpreter to the hidden mine. The squaw knew the location Of the sacred gold,
 "You can't go up there with only an Indian boy and woman!' Stuart growled. "It may be trick. They might do anything to you, Carolee Y
 T don't think so, 1 am not afraid You go home, stuart, and Sheriti watson will bring Dad and silas close behind me. The Indians may have nothing, really, but 1t won't hurt to see. will let you know promptly. It was you who had tc shoot the old man, remember. The squaw would never let you go"
 The six riders departed well be- fore runriSe on the morning after Stuart had wounded and captured the fanatical old Medicine Man Carolee, the squaw and the inter- preter were ahead, usually just out of sight of the sheri ffand the Col ter men.
 This separation seemed to satis' fy the squaw. She would live up te the letter of her instructions, at any rate That was all that mattered Carolee wondered throughout the three. .hour ride, If this were all some sort of foolishness, fl she were being tricked after all, or If their entire western adventure really was reaching It's climax at last
 
 There was no trick.
 The squaw led them-sure enough s-near Weavers Needle. Through interminable canyons, she rode up and down and around, SO rough was the terrain but she knew her way Then at last she climbed up e par ticularly steep slope-up where they could sec the shelter smoke ct the town of Superior 70 miles away and equaw Peak in another vague dis- tance--and stopped with them on Q rocky flat no larger than horse cor ral She pointed to the base Of Q boulder about head high, and Saie . word or two.

ing to the old plan, that of
electing the board members,
the Legislature certainly
should ponder it carefully be-
fore voting for such a back
ward step. One reason the
present plan was adopted was
that under the elective system
politics had been injected into
school affairs in Wilmington,
and it was suspected similar
manipulation might be at
tempted in other districts. To
halt this a bill was passed by
the 1881 Legislature, provid-
ing for appointment of school
boards in the special districts
and school trustees in the
other districts, thereby abol-
ishing the elective plan.
'While there was some OPP
position at first to this move,
in the Legislature, as well as
outside, after the new law be-
gan to function the trend of
sentiment was decidedly fav-
orable to the change. The
matter was put to the test at
the 1885 session of the Legis-
lature. Bills were introduced
proposing restoration Of the
elective plan. There develop
ed so much sentiment against
reversion, however, that no
such bill was passed.
"Our school system is be
ing well managed. To elect
the members of the school
boards would place the man.

reduced from 40,062 to 36,O56
acres, Irish potatoes and sweet po-
tatoes from 3,578 to 1921 acres,
and a reduction of about 500 acres
from the $500 acres of all other
vegetable crops. The hay crops,
however, should be increased from
1862 to 1910 acres, which is a
very slight increase for the county,
although there is a decided increase
recommended in the total acreage
of annual legumes. This commit
tee suggested also corresponding
increase from 33,377 to 35,714 acres
of playable pasture land, with the
areas of woodland and other farm
lands remaining about the same as
indicated in the 1885 agricultural
census, but a slight increase in idle
and fallow land. In connection
with this agricultural program
there are hundreds of acres of
marginal and sub-marginal land
which could proftably be used in
growing forest trees instead of
farm crops, and this fact is receiv-
ing consideration by number of
land owners throughout the coun-
ty. According to these recon-
mendations all fruit land should be
reduced from IA, 300 to 13, ,442 acres,
all improbable varieties removed,
and legumes planted as cover
crops. 1t has been recommended
also that all neglected and un-
sprayed orchards be cut down,
since they are a serious menace to
the commercial fruit industry. In
regard to the livestock situation
the committee suggested a reduc-
tion of about 9 percent in the num-
Der of dairy cattle on farms in Kent
county, and a 5 percent increase in
the number of hogs. There should
be corresponding increase in the
number of horses and mules raised,
but no change was considered in
the field of poultry from the stand
point of either broiler or egg pro-
ducers.

ended his term in that office
and was succeeded by Sheriff
Levi L. Everett, Jr., of Ken
ton, also a Democrat, who was
elected at the recent general
election. AS the Delaware
State News says: "Mr. Bush
is one of the youngest men
ever to have filled the office of
sheriff in Kent county and his
term in office has been an ac-
tive one. His fine service to
the public won the hearty ap-
proval of all Kent citizens re-
gardless of partisanship, and
he carries with him into pri-
vate life the good wishes of
his hosts of friends in central
Delaware. 1t is gratifying to
know that his successor,
Sheriff Everett, is also very
well qualified to fill the office
with the same efficiency and
high ideals of public service. !"

Run Down the ScOundrel

Long days and nights af
anxiety over the kidnapped
Charles Mattson have been
brought to an end by a fright
full discovery. The broken
and nude body of the little boy
has been found in the snow
where it was thrown after he
had been brutally beaten to
death by the man who stole
him from his home. AS the
Morning News truly says:
Nothing that can be done
now by the forces of the law
can compensate for the an
guish that the bereaved par
ents are suffering or alleviate
the tragedy that will stalk
them all the rest of their
days.
"But, for the safety of So
ciety, the maniac or criminal
who is responsible for the
murder of this innocent boy
must be found. No matter
what the search costs, no mat
ter how long it takes, no mat
ter how many city, state, and
federal investigators are need
ed, the slayer must be tracked
down and brought before the
bar of justice.
'1n that search, anyone who
has knowledge that may offer
a clue must lend their aid.
Whether the slayer is a mad
man or a criminal greedy for
money, who killed the lad in a
panic of fear, no punishment
that the law can prescribe is
severe enough to fit his crime.
But the law must find him to
force him to make what scant
amends it can, and to protect
society from the menace of
further crimes at his hands. y
