Seek ye the Lord, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his Judg­ment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the Lerd's anger.

For Qaza shall be forsaken, and Ash-kelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noonday, and Ekron shall be rooted up.

Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the Lord is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant—Zephaniah 2:3-6.

By JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN. SCALON (Ashkelou) Is a desolation—the words of the prophet were fulfilled ong ago. But out of the

desolation are now coming 'dies that shall add much to the knowledge of the present concerning the day In which the prophet wrote. At Christmas time

everyone has a thought of Jerusalem and Palestine. And Ascalon Is close to Jerusalem and the birthplace or Herod the Great, who ordered the "Mnssacre'of the Innocent^."

If the little tongue is coated, or if your child Is listless, cross, feverish, full of cold, or has colic, give a tenspoonful to clean? the liver and bowels. In a few hours you can see for yourself how thoroughly it works all the constipa­tion poison, sour bile and waste out of the bowels, and you have a well, pluy* ful child again.

Millions of mothers keep "California Fig Syrup" handy. They know a tea-spoonful today suves a sick child to­morrow. Ask your druggist for genu­ine "California Fig Syrup" which has directions for babies and^hildren of all ages printed on bottle. Mother!

cess. Archaeologists are uncovering many splendid holdings of' ancient days, some of them of great Informa­tional value. The -neatest finds have been uncovered In Ascalon.

The Palestine Exploration fund Is a society founded In London In 1865 for the accurate and systematic In­vestigation of the archaeology, topog­raphy, geology and phystcul geogra­phy, natural history, manners and customs of the Hofy Land for Biblical Illustration. A preliminary expedition was made by Captain Wilson In the winter of 1865-6. S|nce then no less than eight expeditions for varying purposes have been sent out. Since 1869 the society has Issued u quarterly statement and has published several works and maps. It maintains a museum at ^ts London office.

Ascalon Is a desolation In the literal meaning of the word and has been a desolation for many a year. Vegeta­tion is scanty. The once splendid harbor has been filled up. The great walls and towers that surmounted the ridge that surrounds the city He In crumbled ruins. The confusion Is extraordinary: the walls and towers appear to have been blown asunder by powder. Yet once the city must have been a vision of beauty. Here and there broken columns of marble and granite tell of the glories of the past. Probably Ascalon once looked some­thing like Jaffa, making allowance for the modernizing of that ancient city.

Ascalon ties on the shore of the Mediterranean, in Judea. 36 miles southwest of Jerusalem. It was a fortifl4fn city in ancient times. How old It Is, nobody knows. It passed from the Egyptians to the Canaanltes about 1500 B. C.; in those days the Egyptians were the overlords of Pates-tine, which was then called Canaan. Between 1300 and 1100 B. C. Philis­tines and Hebrews struggled for pos­session of Cardan. The Hebrews finally gained control and the Ca­naanltes were submerged. In 1050 B. C. the divided Hebrew Iribes were united into a kingdom under Saul. David, his successor, completed the establish­ment of Israelite supremacy In Pales­tine. Under David and Solomon, for the first and only time In history, Palestine was the home of a united people under one central government.

Then followed its * division into Israel and .Tudah. Then followed conquest by the Assyrians and by the Babylonians and by the Persians and by the Egyptians and by the Romans. In 70 A. D. the struggle against Borne was ended by the capture and ruin of Jerusalem. In 132-185 A, D. was the

WHAT WKLLWTHAV* TO iATf

Those who have once tried tuna t fish will always be a friend of It, It

lacks the fishy taste of the ordinary canned fish, making it most accept able for salads and vari­ous dishes. - Ttwa v Pleh; Take one capful ot shredded tuna, a three-fourths of a enpful of boiled salad dressing,

one-half of an envelope of gelatine, one-fourth of a cupful of water, one-half cupful of chopped celery, one green pepper chopped, one-half tea* spoonful of salt and one-fourth tea* spoonful of paprika. ' Soak the gela­tine in the cold water* then add i t with ail the other ingredients, to the hot salad dressing. Turn into indi­vidual molds that have been dipped in cold water. When molded turn out on crisp lettuce leaves.

Sponge Pudding.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of milk, four table-spoonfuls of flour, a pinch of salt and cook together until thick. Add two tahlespoonfuls of sugar and when cooled a little the. yolks of three eggs well beaten. Fold In the beaten whites .and bake in a buttered bak­ing dish until well puffed.

great rising under Bar-Cochba. The rebellion was stamped out with much bloodshed. Emperor Hadrian, in re­building Jerusalem, changed Its name to Aelia Capitolina and decreed that no Jew should dwell In It. Never since that day has Jerusalem been a Jewish city or" Palestine, a Jewish land.

Asealon's history was naturally troublous In times like these. In 1480 B. C, say the Tel-el-Amarna tablets, the native chlels *nd Dagon-worship­ers who ruled the city were paying tribute to the Pharaoh of Egypt. The place was captured successively by the great Rnmeses II., and by King As* surbanipul of Assyria.

It later became one of the five towns1 of the Philistine confederacy. "Tell it not In Gath. publish It not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice" Is written In II Samuel 1:20. It came

M Night

Morning

Into the hands of the tribe of Judah,. but It remained an enemy of the Hebrews to the last.

Ascalon long belonged to the Romans. In the Seventh century It came Into possession of the Saracetis.

In 1099 was fought the great battle on the plains of Ascalon In which the Crusaders under Godfrey de Bouil­lon were victorious. The city was taken and retaken during the wars of the Crusaders.

The end of Ascalon came In 1270, when it was destroyed by the Sultan Blbars. It was then that Jts harbor was filled in. It was then that it be­came a desolation.

Herod the Great was the ruler who beautified Ascalon. Herod Is the family name of a group of rulers of Palestine. The family had Its origin In Antlpater, an Idumean (Edomlte), who In the last century before Christ was made by the Romans governor of Edom, Judea, Samaria an*. Galilee. His son was Herod the Great, who'was made king of Judea and reigned from 39 to 4 B. C. It was Herod Antlpas. son of Herod the Great, tetrarch of Galilee, who beheaded John the Bap­tist and to whom Jesus was sent by Pilate. The Herods were Jews only in the sense that the Edomltes were conquered and compelled to embrace Judaism about 130 B. C.

Herod the Great ruled the Jews with an iron hand, ruthlessly murder­ing, all whom he considered enemies. Including even the brother of his wife Mariamne. When he left h!s court on a dangerous mission to Rome he left word that in the event of his death, Mariamne should be killed also. This jealous decree started a quarrel

the innocents In the year of Christ's birth. Emperor Augustus, his friend, said of him: "It Is better to be Herod's pig than his son." He had ten wives In all. and several of these at one time.

Herod the Great had a passion for building. During the first decade of his reign he wus too busy establish­ing himself to Indulge his passion. Then he rehabilitated many cities. At Jerusalem, Jericho and Caesaiea. he erected theuters, amphitheaters and hippodromes. He rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem. He even restored and beautified cities in Syria, Asia Minor and Greece.

Herod, having been born at Ascalon, devoted much time and money to Its improvement. He beautified the city with "baths and costly fountains, as also cloisters around a court, that were admirable both for their work­manship and largeness,1* according to Josephus.

One nf the finds at Ascalon Is a gigantic statue of Herod the Great.

Another is the Court of Herod and Its surrounding cloisters, mentioned by Josephus.

A third Is a temple with massive marble columns, which may date back to the days when AsPalon. according to Herodotus, was famous for the wor­ship of Astarte <<Astoreth). the god-dess of fertility and frultfulness, mentioned In I Samuel 81;10—"and they put his armor in the house of Astoreth. . . ." This was the armor of Sntil, first klnsr of Israel.

In this connection there has been discovered n bas-relief representing the goddess with two attendants. Also a statue of Venus has been un­covered. .

Ascalon was the seat of worship of Astarte, more or less Identified with more the Assyrian Ishtar, the Phoenician Astoreth, the Greek Aphrodite and the Roman Venus. She Is often rep­resented us half woman and half flsh, a sort of divine merranld. A deep layer of broken pottery has been dug up here, which probably marks the remains of vessels broken as part of the religious rites In her honor. But so far no trace has been found of the lake into which she plunged, accord­ing to one story, being ashamed of her misdeeds, and was completely trans­formed Into a flsh.

The most famous legend concerning her tells of her descent tnto the under­world, In search of the Healing waters which are to restore to_ life her bride­groom Tammuc, the young and beau­tiful sun god. slain by the cruel' hand of Winter. -

A good many of the writers of com­ment on Washington affairs who at* tempted to forecast the proceedings of the- conference constantly were giving expression to wonder that the. Unjted States did not suggest in ad­vance that It might have something concrete to propose in the way of limitation of armaments. The sugges­tion was, apparently, that the State, War and Navy departments had been asleep. .

It seems that these, writers should have. known that sanity of thought suggested that the United States, hav­ing called the conference, must of necessity, in order to make it a success, have something to propose at the out­set in the way of reduction of arma­ments.

No Cause for Resentment There were British subjects in Wash­

ington who were not connected with the conference In an official capacity who felt some resentment that the American secretary of state should propose, such a plan, without so much as a courteous preparation of the minds of the British and the Jap­anese delegates to receive i t

It is likely now that most of these visiting foreigners who ' were* in an early mood of resentment have had another thought on the subject. It is generally believed here that the British and the Japanese delegates knew that something concrete was coming from Secretary Hughes, and while they did not know its exact nature, they were not dynamited out of their seats by surprise when the "explosive" pro­posal came.

Something over a month ago the ^British prepared a navy reduction plan of their own. It was not in tended, of course, for presents the conference because the United States being the inviting nation, the British looked to us to take the initia­tive. But the plan was ready as a basis for comparison with any plan which was offered. This proves that the British knew something of the kind was coming and were ready to meet- it. It con he said with definite-

over again among the better things. And as for the matter of eapes! Well, they are more popular than they ever have been before. There seems to be no such idea as going out of fashion included In their scheme of existence.

But the shorter furs are used to trim all manner of materials. There is a particularly Interesting coat of purple homespun trimmed with lavish collars and cuffs of moleskin, which is one

pair, so o^eolalks4 ano^farji altvef^^«)ato the combination is seen over and wey under certain circamstances, but when one views the changes in fashion la > this department of women's attire, the possibilities of variety become per­fectly astounding. This year, writes a fashion authority in the New York Times, the gorgeoasness - of furs and fa* trimmings and fur linings appear to know no limitation, and it would seem as though the American woman had decided to be as luxurious and comfortably coated as aha could pos­sibly manage to be,

;0f course, sgtl; this has to be Judged by What the shops are showing and by what the women are buying. But at the salons of the leading furriers there Is nothing to Indicate the least falling off of fur buying or a tendency to wear handsome, not to mention costly, furs

4. furrier who in the course of his business had become used to the costliness of words as well as to the value of the products which he was selling, safd: "Now here is a cheap mink wrap. This is something that we are selling in quantities and which the American women are showing their preference for." "And what is the re­tail price of that?" said I, hopefully. It looked so much the sort of thing that would complete my dream of life. He scratched his head and pondered for a brief moment "That," he said, "would retail for only about $3,Q00." So, there is the standard, If you are thinking about furs, though there are other prices lower on the scale as well as those which soar and soar until they sound like the figure* in a war loan. Fifty thousand dollars paid for an evening wrap of fur has been known to happen, and not as a single occurrence either, for it has been re­peated often.

• Caracul Is Popular, a standard in fashionable furs is nothing with more claim to

tge than caracul. In almost all of [he known ways in which fur is ever usedejthls variety makes its appear­ance, and as far as its youthfulness and becomingness are concerned it has everything in its favor. Then there is another quality about caracul \to be whispered among these who still ac­knowledge some allegiance to the ways

Interest then will center largely on matters pertaining to the restrictions to be placed on new weapons of war­fare. Poison gas Is first in the list of interest as it is In the field of effi­ciency. The arguments over this matter will be warm.

presented by the American secretary of state. / #

Admiral Kato has spoken # r y free­ly about Japan's view of Secretary Hughes' proposal. Of course he can­not say, nor can anybody say, today that the plan will be entirely accepta­ble to Japan, but a Japanese authority has told me that there Is no question at all that ultimately Japan will meet the United States In its naval re­duction proposition, and perhaps even may be willing to go It one better.

France's .View Interesting. Today It seems that the French

opinion of the proposed navy scrap­ping program Is the most interesting, because the French look at sea power matters from a point aloof. X think I may safely say that what follows Is substantially the French view:

"The peoples of the world will re-upond from their hearts to the-preposal for an actual beginning of limitation of armaments. They once waited for America to declare herself, and later powerfully to act in war. They know America's achievement after she once had made the war proposal. They know that her achievement in peace will 1>e Just as great now that she has made known her plan to blaze a trail which will lead to the goal which the masses seek.

'The words used by Secretary Hughes meant action. When once three great nations unselfishly strip themselves of much of their armor the lesson must reach even the peoples of those lands whose leaders still may be aggressively Inclined. They also will so strip themselves. There is no nation that does not look today, as dur­ing the years of war, to America for moral leadership.

"America has struck bodly. She will win; and the world will win with her. The very force and disinterestedness of her naval proposal must bring eon-sent The rest will follow."

All In Tones of Gray. All sorts of little baby lambs have

cropped up to take their places In the dressing of society. And these are all in tones of gray. Sometimes the hair is very curly and sometimes almost straight, while again it Ts of that pressed variety so well demonstrate/! by the American broadtail In all of its expressions. In other words, If you see some fur trimming or a coat of something that looks like fur, then be certain that It is a manner of woolly lamb which has been pressed Into the service of fashion.

The pleasantest suits that are lamb trimmed are those with a distinctly Russian flavor. You see, the whole Idea-sprang fromthe-Krimmer-insrHruc­tion, and that Is the fur of the Rus­sian coats and things in their original state. And the sprlghtliest parts of these costumes are the high Russian turbans, made entirely of fur and to match the trimmings of the bloused suits or coats. At a. smart restaurant there was seen a coat fitted to the waist with tight sleeves and high col­lars and wide cuffs of this gray lamb. It had a flaring skirt that reached the bottom of the dress, where the band of fur was repeated all the way round the circular width of the end of the skirt. There was a high and un-

*trimraed turban worn with It, and the effect of the whole thing was some­thing to be gloried in because of its complete originality. Of course, baby lamb still holds good as the smartest and by all odds the most expensive of all the lambs. For one of the most alluring parts of these newer lamb skins is the fact that they do not run into terrifying figures when their prices hang in the balance.

Monkey Fur Prominent For trimming and for a few coati

monkey fur is among the most promi­nent of the animal skins used In the making of the mode. It has a charm­ing way of falling so loosely and care­lessly that constitutes Itself a really Important asset to the wardrobe of the well-dressed woman. A collar of monkey fur is a matter of delight be It large or small. And fringes of mon­key fur continue to take their places on many of the season's models. A coat of black broadcloth had a simple tight, choker collar of monkey fur that spread away onder the ears in a most becoming manner. Its wearer hap­pened to have the softest and curliest of white hair, and she had had the good sense to top that with a rose, sad velvet hat that drooped a trifle at trie sides and framed her face, with the monkey fur balance, quite artistically.

There is a fur that they call "real monkey fur** which la far heavier and thicker than that which Is ordinarily recognised as monkey. It is, as might be Imagined from the name; among the more highbrow prices; bnt for that reason, ss things go, It la the more de­sirable. There is no record that it is

the lesson. * J.-...-,;:? ^-.'.-t - i.--. -.f.-.

It is believed to be the onl one ever known to have been found east of the Mississippi, as it is alto­gether a western bird. It is being mounted for Dr. Chesterfield's collec­tion.—Argus.

Christmas never brought lovelier remembrances to fair women than .the picturesque hair ornaments for their gayer hours which this season pre­sents. There are many of them made of ribbon, beads, flowers or mode jewels in headbands, and finished with a feather or blossom or other ornament The sparkling piece pic* tured is merely a filet of rhlnestones that encircles the head and supports a small poinsettia flower at the left with a few sparkling rhlnestones scattered on Its leaves.

Competition. A young man from sunny Italy was

testifying in the Cross county (Arkan­sas) circuit court in a case !n which he was plaintiff, and, true to his race, was very excited and talking as fast as his knowledge of the English lan­guage would permit.

Looking down at the stenographer, he noticed for the first time that his testimony was being reduced to writ­ing (the reporter was trying his best to keep up), and thereupon began to talk faster than ever, until finally ht burst forth at the reporter: *

"Don't writ* so fas'; I can'ta keep up with you."

HOWELL—Quick work on the part of Deputy sheriff Harry Calkins • of this county whose home is between here and the village of Fowlcrville, Thursday resulted in the arrest of two men from Lansing, for larceny, pre­ferred by X. J. Yelland, proprietor of the Palace Meat Market at this place, Deputy Sheriff Calkins producing the men before Prosecutor Glenn C. Yell­and at this place within twenty min­utes after the goods were reported missing. , ''

It seems the Lansing residents who were junk dealers and said to be Jews, purchased a quantity of hides from the Howell butcher, loading "the hides at Mr. Yellnnd*s slaughter honse some distance from the city and then driv­ing into town where tfie load was weighed nnd paid for.

A farmer however, who resides near the abattoir noticed the junk men throwing oft* several of the hides near the railroad track before proceeding to the weighing place, and/ notified Mr. Yelland. The men had by this time gotten welt on their way to Lansing when apprehended by Deputy Calkins who had received the summons by phone and they were arrested just In the western edge of * PowlerVille,

Washington—Interest was caused in Japanese circles in connection with Japan's reported desire to see come

.into existence a triple understanding between Japan, the United States and Great Britain, if the Anglo-Japanese alliance is to be discontinued, by the Issuance of a statement by Represnt-ative Kotaro Mochizuki, leader of the Japanese opposition, declaring that in view of the probable success of the Washington conference, there was no need of renewing the Alliance.

The statement said, in part: "Let the alliance be effaced and

let us set up in its' place an under­standing between Great Britain, the United States and Japan on Far Eastern and Pacific problems.

"An understanding—in no matter what form expressed—reaffirming and continuing in effect the provisions of four agreements already existing, namely, the gentleman's agreement of 1908 concerning China, the Japanese-American arbitration treaty of 1908 referring controversies to The Hague tribunal, provided they have not been bearing on vital interests and the in­dependence, or prestige, of the two powers, and the Ishii-Lansing agree­ment of 1917, in which the interests of Japan in China were recognized, could very well take the place of the outworn Anglo-Japanese alliance. 1 believe that 'open diplomacy' can reach such an understanding."

Representative Mochizuki declared the chief object of the Anglo-Japan­ese alliance was to prevent Russian aggrandizement towards India, China, Korea and the Pacific. Now that Rus sia was no longer a cause of anxiety and the Washington conference was about to settle the question of naval burdens and questions pertaining to the Far East, there seemed to him no

Hugo Drummond folded up the piece of paper he was studying and rose to his feet as the doctor came into the room. He then pushed a sil­ver box of cigarettes across the table and waited.

"Your friend," said the doctor, "is in a very peculiar condition, Captain Drummond—very peculiar. Can you enlighten me at all as to what he has been doing during the last few days?"

Drummond shook his bead. "Haven't an earthly, doctor."

"There is, for instance, that very unpleasant wound in his thumb," pur­sued the other. "The top joint is crushed to a pulp."

"I noticed that last night," answered Hugh noncommlttally. "Looks as if It

The man smiled: obviously a gen­tleman, thought the practitioner, with Us hand on the door of his car.

"It's about a great pal of mine, Captain Drummond, who lives in here," went on the other. "I hope you won't think It unprofessional, but I thought I'd ask you privately, how you find him."

The doctor looked surprised. "Cap­tain Drummond, so far as i am aware, has never been better. I—er—cannot say the same of his friend." He stepped into his car. "Why not go up and see for yourself?"

The car rolled smoothly into Pic­cadilly, but the man showed no signs of availing himself of the doctor's suggestion. He turned and walked rapidly away, and a few moments later —in an exclusive West End club— a trunk call was put through to Godalmlng—a call which caused the recipient to nod his head in satisfac­tion and order the Rolls-Royce.

Meanwhile, unconscious of this sud­den solicitude for his health, Hugh Drummond was once more occupied with the piece of paper he had been studying on the doctor's entrance. Beyond establishing the fact that the man in the peculiar condition was Hiram C* Potts, the American multi­millionaire, . he could make nothing out of it. . _ .

"If only Id managed to get the whole of it," he muttered to himself for the twentieth time. "That dam' fellah Peterson was too quick." The scrap he had torn off was typewrit­ten, save for the American's scrawled signature, and Hugh knew the words by heart

At twelve o'clock precisely the bell rang, announcing a visitor, and Drum­mond looked up, as his servant came into the room.

"Tea. James," he remarked, "I thitk we are at home. I want you to remain within call, and under no cir­cumstances let our sick visitor out of >our sight for more than a minute. In fact, I think you'd better sit in his room."

James, with a curt "Very good, sir," left the room. Almost at once he returned, and flinging open the door, announced Mr. Peterson.

Drummond looked up quickly and rose with a smile.

"Good morning," he cried. 'This is a very pleasant surprise, Mr. Peter­son." He waved his visitor to a chair. "Hope you've had no more trouble with your car."

Mr. Peterson drew off his gloves, smiling amiably. "None at all, tbank you, Captain Drummond. The chauf­feur appears to have, mastered the defect."

"It was /our eye on him that did it. Wonderful tiling—the human optic, as I said to your friend, Mr. —Mr. Lakington. I hope that he's quite well and taking nourishment."

"Soft food only," said the .other genially. "Mr. Lakington had a most unpleasant accident last night—most unpleasant" \

Hugh's face expressed his sympa­thy. "How very unfortunate!" he murmujed. "I trust nothing serious."

"I fear his lower jaw was fractured in two places." Peterson helped him­self to a cigarette from the box be­side him. "The man who hit him must have been a boxer."

"Mixed up in a brawl, was he?" said Drummond, shaking his head. "I should never have thought, from whfct little I've teen of Mr. Lakington, that he went in for painting the town red. I'd have put him down as a most

pelllhg, so unruffled. I, feel sure— when you have finally disabused youi mind of this absurd hallucination— that we-shall become real friends.

"Tell me, why did you allow this scoundrel to treat you in such aa offhand manner?"

"Unfortunately a bullet intended for him just missed," answered Peter son casually. "A pity—because there would have been no trace of him by now." , "Might be awkwaiti *or you," mur mured Hugh. "Such methods, Mr. Peterson, are illegal, you know. May I offer you a drink?"

Peterson declined courteously. "Tbank you—not at this hour." Then he rose. "I take It then, that you will not return me my property here and now.'

"Still the same delusion, I s e e r re marked Hugh with a smile.

"Still the same delusion." repeated Peterson. "I shall be realty to re oelve both the paper and th* man up

ters." • Drummond grinned. "The humor­ous thing Is that I haven't an idea -who the bird is—except that—" He paused, with bis eyes fixed on the man's left thumb. The top joint was crushed into a red, shapeless pulp, end suddenly the meaning of the in­strument Lakington . had produced from his pocket became clear. Also the reason of that dreadful cry at dinner. ,

*By God!" whispered Drummond half to himself, while, his jawg set like a steel vise. "A thumb (tasew. The devils . . . the ewlne . . ."

"Oh 1 quick, quick," the girl urged In an agony. "They may be here at •ny moment." She dragged him to the . door, and together they forced the man into the car.

dier. "In fact If it's any help to you in your diagnosis that wound was caused by the application of an un­pleasant medieval Instrument known as a thumbscrew."

The worthy, doctor looked at him' in amazement "A thumbscrew! Tou must be joking, Captain Drummond."

"Very far from It," answered Hugh briefly. "If you went to know, it was touch and go whether the other thumb didn't share the same fate." He blew out a cloud of smoke and smiled Inwardly as he noticed the look of scandalized horror on his compan­ion's face, "It isn't his thumb that concerns me," he continued; "it's his general condition. What's the matter with him?"

The doctor pursed hlsj_ lips and looked wise, while Drummond won­dered that no one had ever passed a law allowing men of his type to be murdered on sight.

"His heart seems sound," he an­swered after a weighty pause, "and I found nothing wrong with him con­stitutionally. In fact I may say, Captain Drummond, he Js In every respect a most healthy man. Except —er—except for this peculiar condi­tion."

Drummond exploded. "Damnation take It man, what on earth do you suppose I asked you to come round for? It's of no Interest to me to hear that his liver is working properly." Then he controlled himself. "I beg your pardon, doctor; 1 had rather a trying evening last night Can you give me any Idea as to what has caused this , peculiar condition?" •

His companion accepted the apology with an acid bow. "Some form of drug," he answered.

Drummond heaved a sigh of relief. MNow we're getting on," he cried. "Have you any Idea what drug?"

"It is, at the moment, hard to say," returned the other. "In a day or two, perhaps, I might be able to—er—ar­rive at some conclusion . . ."

"Which, at present, you have not. Right; now we know where we are. As you don't know what the drug is, presumably you don't know either how long it will take for the effect to wear off."

"That or Is, within limits, cor­rect," conceded the doctor.

At length he replaced the scrap in his pocket-book and rang the belt

"James," he remarked as his serv­ant came in: "You'd better know that as far as I can see we're up against a tough proposition."

"Indeed, sir," murmured his servant. "The gentleman Is asking for you,

sir." Mrs. Demy's voice from the door made them look round.

Hugh walked Quickly along the pass­age to the room where the million­aire lay in bed.

"How are you feeling?" said Drum' mond cheerfully.

The man stared at him uncompre-hendlngly, and shook his head.

"Do you remember last night?" Hugh continued, speaking very slowly and distinctly. Then a sudden idea struck him and he pulled the scrap of paper out of ~hts~Cfise." "Do you re member signing that?"

For a while the man looked at It; then with a sudden cry of fear he, shrank away.

"No, no," he muttered, not again." Hugh hurriedly replaced the paper.

"Bad break on my part, old bean; you evidently remember rather too well. It's qufte all right," he continued re­assuringly; "No one will hurt you." Then after a pause—"Is your name qiram C. Potts?"

The man nodded his head doubtful­ly and muttered "Hiram Potts" once or twice, as if the words sounded familiar.

"Do you remember driving in a motor car last night?" persisted Hugh.

But what little flash of remem­brance had pierced the drug-clouded brain seemed to have passed; the man«only stared dazedly at the speak­er. Drummond tried, him with a few more questions, but It was no use, and after a while he got up and moved toward the door.

"Don't you worry, old son," he said with a smile. "We'll have you jump-

' Ing about like a two-year-old in a couple of days."

Then he paused; the'man was evi­dently trying to say something. "What is II you want?" Hugh leant over the bed.

"Danger, danger." Faintly the words came, and then, with a sigh, he lay back exhausted.

With a grim smile Drummond watched the motionless figure. ,

"I'm afrtjid," he said half aloud, "that you're rather like your medical attendant Tour only contribution to the sphere of pure knowledge is something I know already."

He went out and quietly closed the door. And as he re-entered his sit­ting-room he found his servant stand-ing motionless behind one of the cur­tains watching the street below.

"There's t man, sir," he remarked without turning around, "watching the house."

For t moment Hugh stood still, frowning. Then be gave a short laugh. -The devil there tar he re­marked. "The game has begun in earnest, my worthy ^arrtor, with the first nine points to us. for potest* sloa, oven of a seml-dtaed lunatic la mae points of tht tow, it it not

Peterson flicked the ash from his cigarette into the grate. "Shall we come to the point, Captain Drum­mond r he remarked affably.

Hugh looked bewildered. "The point; Mr. Peterson? Er—by all man­ner of means," v

Peterson smiled even more affably. "I felt certain that you were a young man of discernment/' he remarked, "and I wouldn't like to keep you from your paper a minute longer than nee* essary.",. v

"Not s bit." cried Hugh. "My time is yours—though I'd very much like to know your real opinion of The Juggernaut for the Chester cup. It seems to me that he cannot afford to—gtve Sumatra seven pounds -en-their form up to date,'^

"Are you interested in gambling?" asked Petersen politely.

"A mild flutter, Mr. Peterson, every now and then," returned Drummond. "Strictly limited stakes."

"If you confine yourself to that you will come to no harm," said Pe­terson. "It is when the stakes be­come unlimited that the danger of a crash becomes unlimited too."

"That is what my mother always told me," remarked Hugh. "She even went further, dear good woman that she was. 'Never bet except on a cer­tainty,my boy,'-was-ner constant ad-vice, 'and ^hen put your shirt on!' I can hear her saying it now, Mr. Peterson, with the golden ruys of the setting sun lighting up her sweet face."

Peterson leant forward in his chair. "Young man," he remarked, "we've got to understand one another. Last night you butted in on my plans, and I do not like people who do that; By an set which, I must admit, appealed to me greatly, you removed something I require—something, moreover, which I Intend to have. Breaking the elec­tric bulb with a revolver shot shows resource and initiative. The blow that smashed Henry Lnklngton's jaw in two places shows strength. All qualities which I admire. Captain Drummond— admire greatly. T should dislike hav­ing to deprive the world of those qual­ities."

Drummond gazed at the speaker open-mouthed. "My dear sir," he pro* tested feebly, "you overwhelm me. Are you really accusing me of being a sort of wild west show?" He wag­gled a finger at Peterson.

You're such an aggressive young man, Captalu Dtammoud—and, I fear, not very tactful." He spoke regretfully, drawing on his gloves; then as he got to the door he paused. "I'm afraid that my words will not have much effect," he remarked, "but the episode last night did appeal t« me. I would like to spare you—I would really.

Children,, is the slogfai of the Milk

Campaign, which b? being staged: by*

the Farm Bureau from December 12

to 17. It has been proved over and

4>ver again that milk has a power be­

yond all other foods to build strong

bodies for boys and girls.

Miss Muriel Hopkin^ Nutrition Specialist from the Michigan Agricul­tural College, will tallc in about thirty of the rural schools on the Value of tuilk. An effort will be made to reach all rural schools where the consump­tion of milk is below the average/ <

In October a questionaire was sent out to 112 rural school*, 75 reporting. Thirty-eight percent of all the children in these 75 schools are not drinking milk, and forty-one percent of those that do are drinking one cup or less, which is not half enough. For a county noted for its dairy interest, this is much higher than it should be.

Use milk for strong bones,, teeth, and muscles. Milk gives us protein for building muscles and other body tissue. It also gives us lime, which is. needed for our bo nee und teeth, and yitnmincs which are absolutely essen­tial for child growth. A quart of milk a day for every child is not too much, and each child under sixteen should hav« at least a pint. Plenty of milk gives your children the chance for health they ought to have.

Every child has a right to be as healthy as present knowledge can make him. Pvoper feeding is one ot the chief factors in health.
