THREE MEN OF BABYLON
I SHOOK myself. That wouldn't
do. 1 had not given the place
a chance.' If the cove had been the
destination of the convicts their
launch was out there somewhere.
The wharf attracted me. I start
ed along It, cautiously picking my
way over the rotten planking. I
moved with absolute quietness. The
wharf was some SB feet wide and
perhaps 200 feet long. Several . dl
lapidated shods occupied the lower
end of It.
Suddenly I stopped. I had to
stop. The wharf was broken In
two. Where I, now stood, some huu
dred feet from the bench, the pil
ing bad collapsed. A gap perhaps
leu feet wide separated the two sec
linns. It was Impossible to get
tcross the gap, except by swim
ming or boat. The lower half,
where the sheds stood, formed a
little Island a little fortress.
Just then I saw a light.
A mere thread of a light It was.
,n a twinkling It had goue. I
breathed deeply, gratefully. They
were there and Caroline was with
them. Not a shadow of a doubt
lingered in my mind. How was I
to gel her away from them?
A my eyes drilled into the dark
ness .something heaved itself up,
stood erect and became the figure
nf a man. I dropped, my heart In
uiy throat.
I supposed he was either le Bala
friS or Bee; then I heard the faint
dripping of his garments as he
wrung them and I knew better. He
would be Fllque or SamuelB the
rorraer, hoped. A brenker sloshed
around the piling just then and he
dlu not hear my low whistle. By
the time the water had subsided,
l.e bad moved down the . wharf and
passed from tight. ,.( ,.
Slipping out .of my, shoes and
;nvercoat, I let myself down over
. the edge of the wharf, which was
... mme four . feet above . tha .water..
' Than I hnnliarf mb i-tn-hl arm Aiv,iinA
one of the piles and slid cautiously
down It. I clung to a pile for an
.Instant. The tide was ebbing fast.
Letting go, I was swept along 25
Feet or so, when I anchored myself
, to another pile the one up which
the man had climbed, I thought, as
several cross pieces were nailed
upon It, forming a ladder. My hand

.when I heard a voice. What It said
i coma not mane out, nut a pane
- Hating metallic quality In Its tone
recalled to my mind the livid face
. of le Balatre.
The voice was blown toward me
.through -the piling from a point
, somewhere under the wharf and I
. listened. Tbe gurgle of the water
was all I heard, but I did see some-
. thing. A barricade of planking was
, erected against two of the center
, plies In a cross-wise direction. 1
thought the planking made a right
, angle turn and ran lengthwise with
f ,lhe wbart.
., , I knew In a Sash what It was.
The convicts had built an oblong
, enclosure large enough to give their
launch secret harborage, or they
had found some sort of an enclosure
there and adapted It to their needs.
The latter, probably
A carelessly erected barricade of
rotting planking beneath a ruined
wharf would not be apt to attract
Ills attention of anyone putting cos-
unity into ma-cova, ti wns not un-
likely, indeed, that they bad broken
'. the gap In the wharf to Isolate
tlien, salves moro effectively.

bad made It possible to see the bar

of tin piles gave access to the slice
above.
(I learned afterwards that thf
Portuguese villagers had construct
ed this subterranean approach t
the wharf to facilitate their casua
smuggling operations I
As 1 dropped into 'he enclosure
and clung to the side o the l.iuncu
i heard le Balafr's voice again.
"You will tell us what we desire
to know, mademoiselle."
"How can 1 tell you when I don'l
know? I've told you, so a hundred
times! If Parados wasn't Lacoie J
don't know who L-acote Is where

breaking It!" ,
Caroline's voice frantic with ter
ror I "If Parados wasn't Lacflte" .
But be was Lacote! Nothing mat
tered except those devils . . . bring

Something Inalde my head exploded
In bloody flame. Two strokes
brought me to the pile with the
Iron bare. Parados . . . not LacOtel

will not tell us!"
"Oh, no, no, no!"
"Clceron, you will take that other
arm. ,

different voice, this one, but of the
same wicked pitch. "Come, mo pe

broken arms." .
"Mademoiselle!" '
"I cannot! Oh, Allan, some one!
My arm! Please!"
A little more, my Clc6ron, and
she will open the heart. Come,

1 was not quite mad enough to
br blind to the folly of whut I was
doing. As soon as my head ap
peared above tbe trap I'd get e
bullet between my eyes. But 1
couldn't help it. A man can stand
onl. so much of some things.
As the top of my head reached
the trap, Ihe cross bar upon which
my feet., were set broke from the
pile and I wont, down. My head
struck the side of the launch and
If I had not flung out my arm an.

The other pistol barked again
and Clc6ron Bee dropped as I stuck

Tho Grnngos of .Tack son County
The eight Granges of Juckson
county, together with the Pomona,
the county unit, constitute eight
large, groups of people In eight
separate communities In tho coun
ty, working diligentty for the best
interests of the agricultural peo
ple (not only of the county, but
of the state and nutlon) and for
the best interests of all the com
mon people of the nation.
Just Who are the common peo
ple? Probably all of those who
are not sufficiently rich, suffic
iently powerful, to lbuy their way
through life, or powerful enough
to dictate to business, to leglsla
tureo and law-making bodies, also
to law enforcement bodies, in the
aggregate or Individually. Or pow
erful enough or rich enough to
put their foot on the necks of the
common people and make them
"stay put" as they, would on a
worm. '
But history ; shows that the
worm sometimes turns, then bites
or stings or In some way makes
his presence known In an unpleas
ant way, to tho great discomfi
ture of the powerful ones.
When a million or so of these
worms resent being stepped on
and turn and flock in myriads
over these powerful and dictato
rial ones, " then things begin to
happen. Aesop tells how the flea
defeated the Hon by getting In his
ear and getting busy.
The Granges of Jackson county
and the Granges all over the na
tion are working for the common
good of all. This united effort on
the part of thousands of earnest
people is getting results, not spec-!
tacular, but steady and sure. We
are climbing the ladder of "equal
ity of nil the people" and their
constitutional rights.
Equality under the law, to life. '
liberty and 1 happiness and an;
equal chance to - make a com-!
fortable living.
Slowly and surely are we climb-'
fng this ladder, getting nearer :
and nearer the top, and at last'
ive can begin to see over the ap- j
parently unsurmountable dlfficul- j
ties of yesterday. But this Is no'
time to rest. It still means work, j
work, work and constant ;vlgi-(;
lance. . ' ' ;

Eagle Point Grange met In reg-':
ular session on Tuesday evening, i
Juno 3. at 8:30 . m., with a
very large attendance present.,
Many visitors were present from
Central Point Grange and Sums
Valley Grange. ', t - t
A juvenile program was. lut
on under the direction o.Mrs.
Wnrd, Mrs. Mollno ;Barnes (tnd
Mrs. Rosa Smith, amf co'rtsisteci'of
songs, recitations ami a, couple of
folk dances. Th'cl.tlVdren'' did
very well, as they always do. , Tho
program wau much enjoyed.
Tho first and second degrees
were conferred on a class of 13.
We are very glad to welcome
these new members into our
Grange uud hope the associations
of the new members with the old

to nil.
Tho third and fourth degrees
will bo exemplified on a large
class at the next meeting. June 17.'
We hope for a large attendance.
Also at that meeting, our re
turning delegates from the Btate
convention will give their reports
of tho convention. Everyone will
want to hear these reports. Wo
hope tfcey will be able to report
that the State Orange will meet
In MedTord in June, 1DS1.
Tho legislative committee did
not report with a discussion of the
cabinet form of government, as
announced, due to the lateness of
tho hour. However, they expect
to have I. R. Kline discuss this
measure nt the next meeting.'
At each meeting some member
of tho legislative committee wilt
discuss some measure that will
appear on tho ballot at the next
election. Some discussion will be
on measures that will not bo on
the ballot, hut on which It is well
that tho mcmbera should le
posted.
We are glad to report that the
people's utility district bill, which
we hope to see on the ballot this
fall has been received from the
supreme court of Oregon with the
decision that the title Is O. K. We
hope no time will be lost in Bet
ting this petition filled with sig
natures and returned to the state
secretary, so that It may appear
on the ballot this fall.
C. F. Davles, who has been
circulating the petition for the
lieutenant governor const It utlonal
amendment, has gone to attend
the state grange meeting and has
turned the petition over to Mrs.
Gertrude Haak. Wo have to get
this petition filled nnd returned In
short order.
Quite a largo number of our
members nttended the meeting of
the Central Point Grange last Fri
day nlftht. This was tho firs
meeting held In their new hall,
which is splendidly equipped and
should prove a real Joy to tho
"Tttemhers. We Congratulate the
CentrrtI Point Orange on thelHsue
cess and co-operation In Grange
work.
Wo also witnessed the exempli
fication of the first and second
degrees by the Central Point la

work very well. We were par

TRIES LECTURE STUNT
(By R H. Strolmieler)
Sams Valley Grange has Its
points of interest and one was fea
tured last Saturday night, The
tiny Grange lecturer with a twin
kle in her eye, said that lecture
hour should be (JO percent educa
tional, and It was carried out 100
percent, by answering to the roll
call to name some government of
ficial, from president - down to
traffic cop. '
The Sams Valley Grangers are a
very keen class of farmers and
figure it to be to their interest to
know all the traffic officers around
Medford and vicinity. You could
have gotten into a discussion as
to just who is governor of Oregon
at the present time.
Talisman Lodge No. 31, Knights
of Pythias, held a short business
meeting in their hall last night,
with seven past-chancellors pres
ent. One re-instatement was ac
cepted. Dan Woolver of Laurel Lodg,;
No. 7 of Albany, Ore., and O. K.
Allen of Myrtle Lodge No. 36 of
McComb, Miss., were visitors. Both
gave interesting talks.
A special business meeting of
Fuhat Burkan Temple No. 221, D.

Thursday night. A new secretary
will be elected , at this meting to
