That is, to many, a new way oi looking at the mutter. Vet we used to insist during Ihe war, when v. o were so strong on democ racy, that lorct-d government per recuon was wrong, and democ racies claimed "Hie right lo make their own mistakes." We haven't been so lliHlslc-nt about that prin ciple since the war, as applied either to nations or individuals. "Americans are the finest moral meddlers In Hie world," observes Hie bishop. "We ure ahvuys trying to tell others what tiiey should or sliould not do." It is friendly and right to ad vise and urge, but the decision and the effort of will must be the other fellow's. Nobody can make anyone good except Ijjruself, and that Job is enough lor most of us. r'orced righteousness, If that nut a conlradicli' in terms, wouldn't be any good. Put a hot house plant out in winter storms and see what happens lo It. The word "virtue" originally meant "strength," und still does. There can be uo righteousness without struggle. Let the other fellow have u chance. Help him, but do It most ly by example.

It lias been noted In many cases that digestive disturbances of a severe nature appear to be fac tors in producing epileptic attacks. When these disturbances are con trolled, there Is likely to be a re duction in the number and sever ity of attacks, even I hough they do not disappear altogether. Cndoubtedly, fatigue and ner vous excitement are factors of great importance. Severe physi cal exeriion and possibly atmos pheric changes and residence In high altitudes, have their part in producing this undesirable condi tion. Helping the Victim lilrth injuries, chronic alcohol ism, and hereditary tendencies art factors that. must, be considered. Unfortunately little in the way of prevention lias jet been discov ered. Never become excited if you arc J near one who is having an epilep I tie spasm. The condition is easily j recognized by the sudden loss ol consciousness, frothing at the mouth and the twitching of the body. These are ihe common symptoms. Try to help the victim. If you will keep cool you can do so and perhaps prevent ihe damage tin patient may du himself. 1 Miring the attack, a cork, n piece of wood, even a lead pencil, should he placed bet w een I In teeth. This is done to prevent idling of the tongue which fre quently happens. Loosen (he clolh lag und place the patient on a couch or the floor. The attack passes off quickly and no special treatment is ueces sary. Usually it Is followed by a period of quiet sleep tor an hour or so. If Ihe convulsions persist, u physician should be called. He will give ihe proper medication. Maybe I'm Wrong Ily j. p.

PASSES OH AT 07 Major Miles, Ex 'Indian Agent, Took Care of Boy Now President. (AMOfiated I'roM Lacd Wire) PAWHUSKA, Okla., April 13 President Hoover's Uncle Labau, MaJ. L. J. Miles, Is dead. Major Miles, 87, former Indian agent, who opened his home to the fatherless Herbert Hoover here forty-three years ago, succumbed yesterday. Both the president and vice president, Charles Curtis, -were "his boys." Mr. Hoover, following the death of his father in West Branch, Iowa, spent a year in the big stone residence from which the Osage Indians were ruled. Mr. Curtis, on the rolls of the Kaw tribe as a youth, was under the guardianship of Major Miles. Major Miles, a Quaker whose title was one of courtesy, was the brother-in-law of the president's mother, Httldah Mlnthorn Hoover. His wife, Agnes Mlnthorn Miles, who preceded him -in death four years ago, was her sister. They sought to relieve the bur den on (he widow In persuading her to permit the 14-year-old fu ture president to live with them. The journey was made by train to Coffeyvllle, Kas. From there the party traveled by mule-drawn buckboard and horseback. Hoover was welcomed into -the Quaker family. He enjoyed Its Bports. He rode and explored the countryside, where, as a freshman on vacation from Stanford univer sity, he later discovered and nam ed the Pawhuska limestone de posits. The mutual regard of the boy and the Miles family continued, but Mrs. Miles ordered cbatcmcr.t cf the easy familiarity of youth as public honors were won by Mr. Hoover. When he became national food administrator In the World war his Aunt Agnes called a family THE by CHAPTER 28 ' Tlie door swung open. Ellon was conscious of excitement, people en tering. Yfhut followed was a blur. A sharp explosion rang in his ears. He saw Lomonosoff snap erect, half-turn on his toes, sag slowly at the knees, then collapse in a heap. Even in the terrific tension of the instant, he wondered why the Russian had been shot doWn. Or was this all pantomime? He turned to face Za, a look of hor ror on the fellow's face. A score of faces filled the door and the hallway immediately outside. Za went to tlie prostrate figure and turned I.omonosolf on bis hack. He felt briefly of his heart and then rose to face Klton. "What is the meaning, monsieur, of this act ?" Za inquired coolly. "Monsieur Lomonosoff, he is dead.' Elton stooped over the fallen Russian. Even though ihe man's face was the face of death, he fell of tlie heart. It bad stopped beat ing. The tragedy before bis eyes was not pantomime. Lomonosoft bad been shot deafl. "I was well enough able to de fend myself," Elton snid calmly. "I cannot understand why he was shot down." Za's face twisted in an expres sion of bewilderment. "Hut who, if not monsieur the American, fire the shot that kill?' he demanded. "As 1 open Ijte door, to learn what mad quarrel disturb the chateau of his excellency , 1 see the spurt of fire, and Monsieur Ijomnnosoll fall deail at my feet." "This pistol." said Elton, extend ing the weapon, "has not been fir ed. Lomonosoft attempted to shoot me, but It missed Tire, and I wrest ed ft nut of his hand." Za gave an expressive gesture, nn order to one nf those at the door to examine the pistol. Elton surrendered it to a tall man of Teutonic features. Hut there was a measure of reassurance in those who had now entered the room. Among them were several In the uniforms of neut nil at laches. The tall man removed the magazine from the pistol and counted the shells. "One cartridge missing, mon sieur." be informed Za. He stooped to the floor and picked up nn empty cartridge. "Ah. the missing shell!" be exclaimed. "The evidence most conclusive," snapped Za. "It is tlie murder, a matter for the gendarmes of Ge neva." He turned to Elton with a malinnnn sneer. "If monsieur have any explanHtion It is VerhapF wise that he reserve It for the magistrates of Switzerland A commotion nt the door an nnuneed the arrival of some one in authority. Even Za stepped back and stood rigid, the others in the room f mil ns to f li m alls. Elton saw the cold, relentless face and bristling figure of von Kulm. Von Kulm looked neither at Za nni- nt (ho hmlv of the dead man. Tie stood Impressively for several j moments, a martinet who has en-j tered the barracks, unexpected. ! during some wild prank. "A serious matter." lie said sharply. Ills eyes were fixed upon Elton. "An accident, perhaps"" He turned to those in the room and delfvereil hfmseH in the crisp voice of a mmi "ho speaks niilv in command. "Mv euest will make no mention of this event. 1 will Invest I trate and act accord in g to the facts." He turned to one of the aides at his elhow. "Monsieur Ellon is to remain a prisoner of my chateau." he com manded. "Se that he i pmpei'K secured, and in the mnniinc von will brim: him to uu- hen 1 nnli i ' vow Kulm s TriDunai i Vpou tlie departure ot Couut vou conference at the ranch home near PawhuslV.

(Afi!ciatPil PrciM Leased Wirh) MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 13 The truce which has prevailed between United States marines and insurgents since the earth quake of a fortnight ago was ended Saturday night with ambuBh of a marine patrol and death of Its officer, Captain Harlan PelTey, U. S. M. C, was killed as he stepped into a house at Lostown, railhead of the Gragemenajs Bluff Lumber company near Puerto Cabezas, and a corpnral named Morales was wounded. Word of the ambush was carried to Puerto Cabezas and Lieutenant j Darrah took a small patrol toward Logtown, where reports later saidi that he had been surrounded and two of his patrol captured. An other patrol went to his assistance and two bombing planes took off from the Managua field. The U. S. S. Ashvllle was ordered down from Panama to Puerto Cabezas. After the earthquake, two weeks ago tomorrow, General Auguslno Sandino, head of the insurgent groups, ordered cessation of hos tilities in view of the relief work which the marines were undertak ing. Dog Saved Prize Horses WESTPORT, Conn. When a fire destroyed the Fairfield Riding academy, "Zip," stable doR, chas ed 21 horses and a cow to safety and led his master to a locked stall containing a prized horse. SPV NET ARED WHITE Kulm from the room in which Vla dimir Lomonosoft lay dead, Mon sieur Za shook himself out of bis servile pose and again asserted his authority. At Za's bark, two of the count's retainers, in the vel vet coats and satin breeches of the chateau service, entered; two hulk ing men with the faces of Bavar ians. At a terse gutteral order from Za, one of these attendants placed himself at each side of Elton. "You have heard the command of his excellency," said Za through tight lips. "It is wise that you con duct yourself agreeably, monsieur." filton marched complacently be tween his two custodians. Neither of them was openly armed, and Elton knew that he could readily slip their heavy wits. The broad open windows of the second floor of the cheteau offered a ready exit, but he knew that escape, tempting as it might appear at the moment, whs a dubious adventure. No doubt. he reasoned, t he care with which von Kulm guarded himself against possible violence extended outside the chateau. And escape, even if he succeeded in getting complete ly out of von Kulm's domain, meant threading his way under cover to Annemasse across the Swiss frontier; the abandonment of his mission. Tragic as was his present predicament, he quickly decided that but one course lay ahead of him. He must play the game through to the end. They mounted a hair stairs, after crossing forward through the cha teau, traversed a network of hall ways in a wing of the place, dim;. ed a full flight at the topmost floor, and ended their jaunt in front of a door of ordinary thick ness, apparently of walnut, with thin panels. The room fntn which he was taken was simply but com fortably furnished. The w indow panes were small squares of eight Inches, puttied in ordinary stained wood. A rlimsy prison Elton thought as the two men left him alone. There was no clicking of locks or rasping of bolts as the door closed upon him. when he tried the door, first gently, then with firmness, he found it securely locked. He also made a second discovery, verify ing it with the point ot" his knite The door w as camouflaged steel, and the frames of the little win dows also were oT metal. A cell in everything except appearance. Count von Kulm was well equip ped to entertain t hose guests whose departure was not to his liking. In the face of danger, El ion hud always found his mettle t its best, a crisis seeming only to steady his nerves, stimulate his faculties. Not even the HnoiMn (le q) I.nmonosoff dead nt his feet had unstrung him. Hut now i ha l the crisis was past anil be was alone, the reactions struck him, a slight wenkn'ss al t he knees, a feeling of faint ness. a tremor in his hand. He lighted a cigarette to test the steadiness of his hand. The flame shook fitfully ami liien ste;id lded as he mastered himself. He had no doubt that (!erman eyes matched his every move. Intent on fathoming his every thought, ami he was determined there should he" nothing in his Hctions they could interpret as funk. He would hold himself Inscrutable until von: Kulm finally showed his hand. After a time he got ready ru ber!.

Or again, ir there was any thing tn the count's appearance of an ancient file of the old Ger man army, he might roll out at daybreak, soldier fashion, and want to proceed immediately with Elton's inquisition. In either'event, Elton decided to make good use of the intervening time. There was the whole adventure to he gone over in detail; searched, analyzed, one incident compared with an other, in an effort to divine the German purpose. Hut as he struggled on. hour I aflt'' hour, with the black enig ma ot the Russian's assassination, the resultant charge against him of Lomonosoffs murder, he found himself completely baffled. What ever theory he adopted was replete with conflicting elemento and il logical factors. Why, since tliev bad him securely entangled, should they wish to spring a sec ond trap?

As for the message he gave to Sergeant Walters, that was in code, not cipher, and tlie German secret service would have only a little of meaningless figure even if they intercepted the mess age. Most puzzling of all was the des perate means used to spring this trap. The fad that l.ommiosoft was the spy double might account Tor his presem-e in the chaieau.
