In a flash I was past the cur

cursing its stairway anew, because
to 60 down it too fast was to break

AS I came within earshot-
"Only let me get OUT" belched
Herrick, fumbling the bolts of his
door. "I'll teach you to talk to
your betters. I warn you, BERTHE,
I'll tie your snout round your neck. -
And there I flashed my torch
and saw him leap for the stair.

How Women
in Their 4O's
Can Attract Men

Here's good advice for a woman during her
change USUALLY from SO to 52), who fears
she'll lose her appeal to men, who worries
about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells,
upset nerves and moody spells.
Get more fresh air, hrs. sleep and if you
need good general system tonic take Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made
especially for ,Don,en. It helps Nature build
up physical resistance, thus helps give more
vivacity to enjoy life and assist calming
jittery nerves and disturbing symptoms that
often accompany change of life. WELL

when I heard that key move in t
lock, was ready to do myself VI
olence for throwing away t
chance of escape we had had: I'd
had we behaved-not with prudend
but common sense, we should

mouth of the drive.
After moments hesitation, l |

the room beyond. Then I shut the
door behind Herrick, lighted torch
and threw the beam on the floor. =
I touched Elizabeth's arm.
"First, tell me this" said. "Is
the roof any good?''
GIVE no idea," she said, and
pushed back her sable hair. "There
might be a way-I don't know"
shook my head. III.
To seek such path by night
would have been a desperate ven
ture for Herrick and me: the pres
ence of our companions ruled such
an enterprise out.
"Then I can think of nothing"
said I, except to draw them away
from the upper door. If we can
only do that, we may still get clear.
Out of the upper door, where we

be quick, to lead us over the ridge

ing.
"That's my idea," said I. "a
demonstration down here-at the
lower door. I admit it's a damned
thin chance, but what else can we
do?'
"What sort of demonstration"
said Elizabeth.
I looked at Herrick.
'D'you think you could do it,"
said. Disguise your voice and

Herrick's face was a study.

With my words we heard some
body pound on the lower door.
''Who is within?" they demanded.
"Open at once"
Herrick looked at Elizabeth.
''Is that his lordship?" he said.
I'D like to, er, parley with him"
My lady smiled.

before the angler.
And so down the entire list of
birds of prey, cold-blooded amphi-
bians and reptiles; predatory ami
mails and winged and crawling
insects. We destroy more often with
out reason or justice thinking that
we are better able to Judge the
worth of creatures than the forces
that were responsible for their
creation. And in so doing, more
frequently than not, we destroy a
balance that Nature ordained when
the world was created.

Grass Protects Dams

North Dakota farmers have sim
pie, inexpensive method of protect
ing earthen dams-built for soil and
water conservation-from erosion,
according to the report of the soil
conservation service. Where rock or
other material is not available for
riprapping, they plant prairie cord,
or "well diggers" grass, on the dam
and spillway. The grass grows pro-
fusely wherever there is abundant
moisture and provides excellent pro-
lection against washing.

Lamp Patented in 1898

In 1898 the first lamp patent was
issued to John Love, of South Caro-
lima, for tallow lamp. The earliest
patented lamp known is the nursery
lamp made by William Hode, of
Boston, dated 1872. The second ear
lest example, says the Rocky
Mountain Herald, appeared nearly
two decades later, in 1881, and
the patent was issued to John w.
Schulz and William Trull. Between
the granting of these two patents 20
others had been issued.

at 6 D. m. for yellow Springs, o.,
site of Antioch college which he
founded, and that he does not IN
tend to communicate with the
White House between now and the
time the ultimatum expires. He
would not say whether he would
seek redress in the courts if oustcd.
Mr.. Roosevelt said he took &C
ton against 'my old friend" re-
luctantly. He said that in the evil
dcnce before him he found that:
"(aD Arthur +. Morgan has
failed to sustain tn" grave and
libelouS charges of dishonesty and
want of integrity which he has
made against his fellow directors;
his conduct in this respect is legal
ly and morally unjustiticd;
. "(b) On the face OF the record
the charges Of the other directors
that Arthur +. Morgan has OBJ
structcd the work and injured the
morale of the organization of the
iva must be accepted as true; he
has refused to offer testimony in
denial of the charges;
"(c) Arthur +. Morgan is guilty
Of INSTRUMENTATION and contumacy
in refusing to submit TO the chief
executives demand for any facts
upon which he based charges Of
dishonesty and want of integrity
on the part of his fellow dircc-
tors"
"Undcr these circumstances" he
continued, al feel myself under
the painful duty Of requesting Ar
thur +. Morgan at once publicly
to withdraw the charges that he
has made impugning the honesty,
good faith, integrity, and motives
Of his fellow directors, and give to
them and to the country assur-
ances that he will, in the future,
Loyalty cooperate with his fellow
directors in carrying out the pro-
visions of the IVA act.
For your information, Chair
man Morgan, | must tell you
frankly in the light of the record
that only two courses appear open
either your removal or your sus-
pension as member of the board
of the IVA"
Morgan handed the president
his own ultimatum-that he would
not resign, and added that 81 wish
also to say that | challenge. the
suggestion and deny the right and
the power to remove or suspend
me-"
The answer was characteristic
of the chairman's attitude since
Mr.. Roosevelt interviewed in the
two-year-old feud between him
and his colleagues. Last Friday
the president gave him until / 80
D. m. today to decide whether he
was. going to cooperate.
Morgan apparently construed
this as demand for his resigna-
ton and had armed himself with
his statement Of refusal. He re-
iterated that he considered the
White House investigation a waste
of time and will continue to insist
on an impartial congressional in
quiry.
If Morgan is ousted-and it was
believed that he would be at 2:30
p. m. today-Senater H. Styles
