I was afraid you were a goner!” Hastily inttroducing a new partner to an old one, Alan demanded: “What d'you mean, Bill? What under heaven are you doing over here? What hap- pened? Man, you're all shot!” “Am half-dead,” Bill admitted. His voice was thick, he could hardly stand up. With the long strain over, a fear- ful reaction had set in. He looked ready to fall down dead asleep. “But what happened?” Alan re- peated. “ “Alan, that Johnny Jump-up caught onto our trick. He was out to bag this air machine and nail you two. And he came skittish close to doing it. Lemme tell it: “I had those drums cached over there on Goose Point like we arrang- ed, and I was waiting there, never suspecting a thing. One evening . . . Must‘ve been four or five days ago; Ive’d—an near lost track of time . .” Anyway, I was sitting there in the willows slapping mosquitoes and lis- tening to a couple whisky-jacks raise Cain with something back at the tim- ber. edge. “I hadn’t nothing much to do, so I sort of moseyed back that way to see what all the fuss was about. When I. got up pretty close I all at once |smelled tobacco smoke, cigarette smoke. Just a faint whiff, but no mistake about it. “What the h—1?’ says I. ‘Who's smoking Turkey tobacco around here?’ It made me leery right away. I followed my. nose up-wind and snuck up real careful. There in the first drogue of balsam was a Smoky, that Ogi-Tomax, sitting against a tree, lighting one cigarette on the butt of the last. They were that kind |of cigarette that Haskell gets clear from Paris, Alan. ; “When he finally got wise to some- body being near, he grabbed for his rifle. But I jumped for him ‘too |quick and hit a couple times, and while he was coming out of it I lop- ped that gun of his around a tree. Then I collared him and asked him what the condamnsternation his in- tentions might be. At first he closed up like an oyster and wouldn’t do nothing but grunt and look sour. I was suspicious of him laying low there watching me, so I up and lam- med-h—1 out of him then and there till: he did pry open his jaws. “Haskell ‘had hired him to shadow me and spy out what I was doing. He. must have got hep somehow to me taking that gas. And he and.that fishworm Whipple were. coming there to Goose Point in the launch to get me, gas, oil, then lay low and nail you two when you lit down. Two bits to a shirt button they’re over there right now!” ; ; As he thought how close he and Buzzard had come to going ashore and being captured, Alan shuddered. ’_ Bill went on: “When the Smoky told me that. ; . Say, did. I make some tall tracks? I never got such a wiggle on in my life. With the Smoky helping, I made two trips across the lake and snaked the drums all away—all except one drum when I heard the launch coming and didn’t have time to take—”- : | “{t*s still over there,” Alan inter- rupted. ‘They rolled it out jn plain sight like-a decoy, but instead of that it made me suspicious. They over- played. But what got you all sot this way, Bill?” (To Be Continued). Would Use Wheat Urges Use Of Surplus Grain For Making Industrial Alcohol Action by the Department of Agri- culture with a view. to the use of surplus grain, principally wheat, for the facture of di rial alcohol was urged in the House of Commons. The department, said G. G. Coote, (U.F.A., Macleod), when pressing the matter should make a careful en- ‘quiry into the fedsibility of early ac- tion in this direction. With a mixture of 15 to 20 per cent industrial alcohol and the bal- ance composed .of gasoline, a motor spirit fuel could be produced. A bill along these Hnes was being introduced at Washington, asserted Mr. Coote. The U.F.A. member read an editorial estimating the use of surplus wheat for manufacturing ,in- dustrial alcohol would raise the price of wheat about 10 cents per bushel. Refuse from the grain used for manu- facturing industrial alcohol could be used for feeding purposes for cattle, Mr. Coote said. Proposal was made during congid- eration of estimates of the depart- ment of agriculture. A full dentist’s kit contains 6,000 different instruments. WOMAN LOSES 28 hs. Trips Upstairs Like a 2-Year-Old A woman writes:—“Three months ago, after much argument, I was per- suaded against my will to try Krus- chen Salts to reduce my weight, which was 222 Ibs. I had tried other things, but all to no avail. After three weeks of Kruschen I had lost 5 lbs. 4 ozs., and I felt five years younger. I really must say I feel a different woman. My age is 37 years. .I have now lost 28 lbs. to date, and while before, to go upstairs was @ great effort, now, as my hus- band says; I trip up like a two-year- old.”"—(Mrs.) -S.G.B. Kruschen Salts keep the system free from encumbering waste matter. Unless this wastage is regularly. ex- pelled it will give rise to rheumatic and other body poisons, And Nature is liable to take the defensive meas- ure of storing this poison-breeding material out of the way in the form of fatty tissue. Unlike most salts, Kruschen is not merely a laxative. It is a combination of six salts which have a tonic influence upon every of- gan, gland, nerve and fibre of your body. An Unenviab!e Record United States Has Highest Murder Rate In World The United States still leads the civilized world in‘the number of mur- ders per year, according to Dr. Fred- erick Hoffman, statistician, whose survey, based on homicide records from 180 cities, is published in the Spectator, an insurance periodical. The rate for the United States in 1932 was 10.8 homicides per 100,000 of population. “Human life was never so cheap and insecure in the United States as it is at the present time,” writes Dr. Hoffman, ‘and murder is de- cidedly more common in the coun- try than in any other country of the world which makes a claim of being civilized. It is also the la- mentable truth that crime and pun- ishment in this country often lie far apart.” : He noted that the rate for “Eng- land and Wales in 1931 was 0.5 per 100,000 of population. He pointed out that of seventy-six deaths of males by: homicide in these countries in 1931, firearms were used in but six cases, as compared with 66 per cent. in the United States. Dr. Hoffman cited the shooting of Mayor Cermak of Chicago and the narrow escape of President Roosevelt as instances of the case with. which the means of murder can be acquired. “Murder more than ever,” he wrote, “is becoming an ingenious art, if nota trade, in this country and the number of murderers at large must be quite considerable.” A Bad Custom Getting By Without Paying Is Not To Be Commended g A Western Ontario paper defends young men who stole a ride on @ train to see a hockey match in Tor- onto. It recalls that in the past noth- ing much was. said when lads helped themselves to somebody’s packing. cases to start a fire with, or took apples from an orchard, or sneaked into the Caledonian games without paying anything at the gate.. But one bad custom does not excuse an- other worse one. There are people who think it is clever to slip by: the street car conductor without putting a ticket in the box, but they probably would not like to-be caught doing it. Record Still Stands The world’s record for longest non- stop run in the history of railway operation, made in 1925 between Montreal and Vancouver, & distance of 2,937 miles, still stands. It was made by an oil-electric car evolved by Canadian National Railways motive power engineers. The journey was completed in 67 hours and the Rocky a ‘tains were crossed at a speed of 40 miles an hour. .

Guard Your Child Against Diphtheria Toxoid Treatment Is Simple and Harmless Diphtheria is a serious disease of the nose and throat caused by germs. It selects young children as its vic- tims.

Protect your child against this foe of happy childhood. 2 Toxoid treatment will protect yo child. . ; This treatment is given in 3 visits, and is simple, harmless, and lasting. Your family doctor can give your child this protection. If you have no family doctor, ask your health officer to advise you.

It will include pictures taken of his early life, among them his proclamation as Prince of Wales at Carnarvon, and will carry on through 1932.

Dry For Many Years _Pennsylvania Town ‘A-city of nearly 12,000 people, Van- dergrift, Pennsylvania, may be des- tined to remain. dry for the next six- ty-two years.
