SrEDFOHTJ fATE TRTBTXNE, 3IEDF0RD.

And then Flint, radio oper ator of the S. B. Boldero followe Ivy to her oabtn and trite to force her to hear hie protestations of love. Chapter 19 SIMPLE RUSE "TTTHO'S tolas to know?" said ;.' Flint boarselj. "Be sporL" . She bad said that It he did not at ones open the door -liir would atart creamlng. He had not opened the door and ahe had not started to cream. He was Inexperienced and these (acts gave him hope. Be advanced a short step and she drew back an equal distance and a little more to the right, a little nearer to the wate'-bottle. , Her entire manner changed. Her 'yes softened and he thought thai she wan going to be what hr had called a aport. A goo4 yielding sjiorL Her next words convinced him that this was the case. She spoke in a Quick halt-whisper. ' ; "Isn't It better to I- ilt the door?" he asked. , It la doubtful It any Jian In history ver turned more quickly to the lotting of a door. Uut the business ivy swung the heavy water bottle. required two bands. Tbe door Itself bad sagged on Its binges jud had to be lifted by the handle so that tbe bolt could be shot The door was heavy and required a strong lift. As Flint strained eagerly upward on the brass doorknob. Ivy swung the heavy water-bottle and brought it down with stunning concussion on the top of bis head. He dropped In a heap, his fingers twitching- She recovered her sewing innturtals, atepped across tbe unconscious man, opened the cabin door and vent on deck. Ivy's face was untroubled and ber first thought on gaining tbe dock was how much fresher the air was than It had been down la that lot tuffy cabin. Flint was not the first man to be quieted and brought to order by a blow on the lop of the head with a bottle or a carafe. She did not think that su had killed him and are did aoi much care. His devotion which hod really touched bo bad all ended In boast llness. Men like Flint were prooably bett doad. What was he dolrg any way under the Chinese Bag? Didn't he have a Sag of his own? WHEN presently Bowers Joined her, having been worsted, be ad mitted humorously. In his jrgutaeni with Won Bo. she made no mention of the unpleasant scene with the wireless operator. If Bowers learned what bad happened, he would feel, manlike, that something drastic bad to be done about It Flint had been sufficiently punished. She did no: boileve that he him self would talk about what aid bap penud, or molest ber ngala. On the other hand, she longed u tell Bow ers. They wore on their honeymoon. She longed to tell him everything that she knew and tbcro woi many things of course, that she must no er tell aim, but still the strategy of getting Flint to bolt the cabin door while she cracked him over the head was Immensely to her credt'. and he wanted her hasband to know what c smart girl be had ..Arris? In the sight of (led. Electric Motor 100 Years Old BRANDON, Vt. (UP) Thl year tnnki the centennial of the Inven tion of the electric motor, genemlly owMlitd to Tliomnt Duvcnjwrt, of nearby Formt Dale. Davenport invented thn motor while a tlllagB blacksmith. But he nmdr no effort to commtrctnlliM it, and the CjouVAxttzwt Mcvdi- The light began to fall but the simple washdrees upon which she had boen jngaged vas finished. She had planted to make several more, but Bowers dissuaded her. This one would do to go Mhorc In, and once she was a-lioro, she would no longer have to tew for herself. Others would so . tot her. Helen Joined them, climbed light ly to Ivy's shoulder and chlttered In ber ear. "What's she saying?" aked Bowers with a smile. "She's been talking to the caged monkeys,'' said ivy, "and they've In sulted her because she's free and has bats and frocks and a trunk and suitcase all '-er own. She says that they're nothlDg but low-down monkey-trasb." j BUT Ivy's attention was on neither; Helen nor Bowers. It was al most time for the "Got Ready" gong, when sbe and Bowers wou)1 both o below to change lor dinner and her attention was on the door by whlh Flint, If ar.d when he recovered con sciousness, might be expected to emorge. It would be altogether unpleasant If -Sowers wore to discover him prone on ine Boor j Ivy's ctbln. Ex planations would not fit tho case. The truth would have to bo tola, and Bower, of course would feel thai he had to do something about It. When Flint actually did emerge through the doorway toward which she had boen casting glnncos, she sighed with relict. Flint's face was dead-white and his brain wits not altogether clear. It did out occur to him that Ivy might keep silent about what b happoned. Women didn't. .1 tolling would got others Into trouble, thoy told. Undoubtedly Bowers knew. Undoubtedly Bowers would take some kind of action. This would p.obnhly be .Ist-acilon. Flint was no match for Ilnnors, but he was not a cowarj Ro!luvl..& that be was In for a dreadful beating 'ie thought best to get it over with. Its' hesitated for only a moment anJ started toward thorn. His face wni stern and set. Ivy, realizing whut might rierliaps bo going on In the young man's mind, thought best to warn nlm that all was well. So she called to him In gay voice: "Whore have you been hiding yourself?" "Nowhore special," snld Flint u he Joined them. ".Most anywhere. J here boon trying to hide from a split ting bcadache." "Ever try aspirin?" asked Bowers in the eagor voice of one who wishes another to bencllt hy a pot cure. "I've got some In my kit some where." "Thanks." said Flint, "but 1 don't need anything. It's begun to clear np by Itself. Hot, Isn't It?" Bowers had rlson from his chair, "You sit down thorn " he said, "an1 sprawl. 1 am going to make yoti try the aspirin, whether you like It oi not" He loft them and went to find the medicine, whistling cheerfullr ns lie went "Aren't you going to tell him?" asked Flint "Not unless you force me to," ssld Ivy. "It wouldn't be plea-rnt for me to tell or tor him to hear" (".-"'.

(UP) The dog and coyote in thl state are the natural reservoirs from 'which rabies spreads to other animals, the state board of health reported today. "The disease Is .usually caused by the bite of an animal oleic from It." the board said. 'AU warm-blooded animals are susceptible, but It ts disease primarily of the canine race, especially dogs. The animals most susceptible are the dog, coyote, wolf, cat, cow end the skunk or polecat. Man, although more resistant, may contract the disease. Tn man as In animals the Incuba tion period In from two weeks In most serious bites, to a month. Bites on the face or hands are more danfrerous than on other parte, of the body, the board pointed out. "The relatively long Incubation pe riod enables one to protect the pa tient by preventive Inoculation," It was explained. This consists of the Injection of vaccine, given usually In 14 or more doses. The control of tJhe dlscaso rests entirely upon the pre ventive means. After symptoms ap pear there Is no cure." The board suggested that attempts must continue to be made to control tho dlsenHC by preventive treatment of persons bitten and the elimina tion of rabies In dogs. The later method, coupled with the destruction of stray or ownerless dogs.

A series of tests under the direction of Dr. Lloyd Arnold of the University College of Medicine, showed that 08 per cent of thousands of bacterial which had been placed In contact with human skin disappeared within ten, minutes. Dangerous bacteria, such as those of lockjaw, bolls, typhoid and dysen tery, vanished as quickly as did the more harmless ones. "However, the skin has certain minute never-sterile areas where the germs do not disappear," Dr. Arnold reported. "Pour such areas are under the fingernails, the thin line which marks the Junction ot the lip with the membrane lining of the nostrils, and the rim of the eyelid where the outMde skin meets the inside lining. Dirt almost completely destroys the disinfecting qualities, the experiments further showed. The percentage of bacteria which disappeared from un clean skin surfaces was almost neg ligible In every case, the scientists found. Time I SOT-TO Around the Campfire ALL RIGHT MAGGIE- 3 .---- v.

S RESULT OF WAR SE BOISE. Idaho. Sept. 11. ip) Branding fascism, nazlisra and com munism as at "eternal war with Americanism," Senator William E. Borah declared to a pioneer audience here today that without national pivie "civilization would crumble and pcrlMi." His address opened a centennial celebration c o m m e m orating the founding in 1834 of Fort Boise. "We have heard much In recent years about internationalism, about, wiping out of national lines, and dis couraging or destroying national pride about the common aim of all peo ple," he said. "No one more desires peace and friendship with all nations than the people of this country. But a people not devoted to their own country, a people devoid of loyalty to other countries, would be as unfit for pea.:e as they would be for war, and would as surely invite the contempt of other nations as they in time would en compass the rum of their own." "As a result of the war," he said, "the world Is now afflicted with every form of ism which the ingenuity of the human brain could conceive. "Nothing Is finer than the fidelity of tho pioneer to the Rreat underly ing principles of constitutional gov ernment. We can do no better than emulate his example." 4 Use Mall Tribune want ads.
