they pushed and struggled.
It was terrible fight. Everybody
said so. If they hadn't known be-

those great antlers were for. Once
the big stranger managed to reach
Lightfoot's right shoulder with one
of the sharp points Of his antlers
and made a long tear in Lightfoot's
gray coat. It only made Lightfoot
fight harder.

Beacons Clean
Adown History
Gulf Lights See Commerce
Of World Pass for More
Than 200 Years

NEW ORLEANS.-For Boulaye,
sprawling on the mud banks of
Southeast pass at the mouth of the
Mississippi river, has watched the
commerce of the world pass up and
down the mighty stream for more
than 200 years.
Fort Boulaye is not fort, but one
of the first lighthouses erected in
North America. The tower, 81 feet
high, was built in 1871 by Adrien de
Pauger, engineer of the French col
ony of Louisiana-fve years after
the famous Boston light was con-
structed.
When British ships moved up the
river bearing General Packenham's
redeoats to their defeat at Chal-
mette in the War of 1912, lookouts
spotted the markers along the river
banks-crude devices telling skip
pers where the danger spots were
located
Hazards were marked along the
gulf coast at spots where now stand
Biloxi, Miss; Pensacola, Fla, and
Mobile, Ala, by seafarers long be-
fore the Declaration of Independ-
ence was signed.
Service Taken Over by U. S.
AS the southern portion Of the
country gradually was absorbed by
the youthful republic, lighthouse
facilities were taken over by the
lighthouse service, governmental
department established by the first
congress in 1889 under the signature
of President Washington
After $50 years of successful ad-
ministration, the lighthouse service
has moved Quits place taken by
the coast guard under President
Roosevelt's governmental reorgani-
zation orders.
Warning beacons along the Mis-
sissippi river, Lake Pontchartrain
and along the gulf have kept pace
with the growth of ocean commerce
to southern ports.
The first lighthouse built by the
United States government in Louisi-
ana was at Bayou ST. John on Lake
Pontchartrain in 1911, the year of
the states admission to the Union
BY 1923, increased ocean-going com
merce had made necessary the con-
struction of a tower at Northeast
pass at the mouth of the river.
Coast Cities Included.
Gulf coast cities also were getting
lighthouses. An entrance light was
built at Mobile in 1922 and at Pensa-
cola in 1925.
Both South pass and Southwest
pass of the Mississippi river were
marked with lights in 1881 when
Northeast pass began to shoal.
More than 400 miles of Texas
coastline were marked following
that states entry into the Union in
l845. The first lights were placed
on Halfmoon reef in 1850 and at Boil
war point and Matagorda in 1852.
Between 1860 and 1870, however,
many of the lights were extin-
guished, but following the recon-
struction period in the South, they
again were placed in operation.
This progress has continued until
today. In the eighth district, which
includes New Orleans and the Mis-
sissippi river as far north as Baton
Rouge and from the Sewanee river
in Florida to the Rio Grande in Texas,
there are more than $50 lighted aids
to navigation and more than 1,130
lnhghted aids. There also are sew
en- radio beacons maintained IN the
district.

Italian AnthropOIOgy

The most important anthropologi-
cal discovery ever made in Italy is
the recent finding of human skull
believed to be 10000 years old, in
cave at the foot of Monte Greco,
a promontory. 80 miles southeast
of Rome Excavations were being
made, when subterranean passage
was accidentally discovered leading
to the cave. The skull was found on
a primitive hearth and was identi-
fed as belonging to the species OF
Neanderthal man who lived IN the
Diluvium age.

War In China Returns
Villages to Middle Ages

TIENTSIN. CHINA.-War condi-
tons in North China have turned
the hands of the clock so that many
villages have taken precautions and
fortified themselves as in the Mid
die ages.
But instead of battlements and
drawbridges the villagers have sur
rounded themselves with masses OF
barbed-wire entanglements, charged
with electricity at night.
At shutdown the people drive their
live stock into the fortified area and
send them out at dawn to scatter
over the countryside or which they
barely manage TO exist.

And, Of course, Jerry could
bring back no news that helped
them. He made the trip back to the
Phantom ranch almost as rapidly
as he had driven away. and he
braked to a stop near the Braces
porch. A dozen or more people had
heard his truck coming, and 80
were assembled to meet him.
"She's not there" Jerry said at
once. Rogers neither. I tried
Blanco. I phoned Douglas, Bisbee,
Tucson, even. No trace Of them.
There's something screwy."
Mrs. Brazee looked like she was
about to cry.
"They hadn't been seen ?" George
Brazee asked. "You inquired
"Sure. Of course I did. I tell you,
that Rogers has tricked her! Why
in hell was that man permitted"
Hold on. Nothing'll come Of

Il say looked everywhere pos

would have seen them. It just

no horses or conveyances were

pened and I'd like to know what
it is."
Mr.. Brazee looked grave indeed.
He knew this was crisis, an
emergency now two days old, for
the hour was supper time again.
And yet-he was confused.
"Shot Rogers is a dependable
man," he began. II just can't fig

wasn't he called to doctor the
wounds?
Jerry left him in added disgust
and went back to the hotel. The
proprietor began gabbing at once,
but he Spoke only enough to
get by her, went inside and began
struggling with her wall telephone.
In remarkably short time he had
the Douglas, AriZ., operator.
When he had placed four or five
calls there, he instructed the oper-
ator in Tucson and in Bisbee to try
all the main dental Offices in an eff
fort to get ne rs Of Lorena Hamil-

"I'll git it, young man."
The telephone calls elected moth
ing, so Jerry went back to his
truck. He had the motor started,
then he jumped out and ran back
into the store.
"Give me four, five boxes of
pistol cartridges, Mr.. Earlywine.
I'll take them now. Forty-fves."
Here they are. put yore other
stuff in the truck. Some Of it."
Jerry realized he had important
news. He had been suspicious of
events, with no very tangible rea-
son, since early yesterday morning,
when Rogers and Lorena had failed
to appear. But when somebody dis
covered that no Brazee horses or
vehicles were missing, Jerry had
been first to act.
He had told the newly alarmed
Braces that he would hurry into
town and see If they were there.
George Brazee had been prone to
believe somebody had chanced to
come out and get them. Maybe
that was even planned, he had said.
Sally didn't believe it. This good
woman felt that doom was strik-
ing again, doom for somebody. She
almost had to go to bed with q
case of nerves.
