"SALADA" GREEK 'l so fascinated Nichols a short time before. "What I'm up here about," went on Macarthur, smoothly, taking a seat on a rock which enabled him to face Sprir.'ger, and at the same time sifting some tobacco into a brown cigaret paper, "what I'm up here about is another grubstake." The silence of Springer was profound. "I've found the real thing at last," went on Macarthur, as he twisted and licked his cigaret paper. He lighted it and turned his head to watch the match fall- "If I told you all the facts about where and what it was, you'd pack up your things and leave this here hcle in the ground and come vith i "Maybe." :ek one clip with a hai "Hal," said Mi ward and speak of persuasion, "j a lot of hope BEGIN HERE TODAY J feature they were as "Joan" closes the book she is read- j could be, yet their ing and goes to the cfcor of the ranch ■ so similar that they hous« at. the sound of wild geese fly- taken for brothers.

"I never go where other girls go,' complains Joan. "When you went outside, what were you listening to,' asks Buck. "The wild geese," she tells him. The crying of the wild geese, the girl says, brings to her "a happiness --a queer, sad happiness." Then Buck says: "I once knew a man who found all those things in his head when the wild geese flew over"--but he refuses to say more, and sends Joan off to bed NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY irthur, leaning for-2f in the soft voice i may have used up i that, last job CHAPTER I.--(Cont'd.)

Buck Daniels watched her going with an anguished face, and when she had disappeared he swiftly packed pipe, lighted it, and went outside to walk up and down, up and down, for a long time. It was the beginning of the end, he felt. And he was filled with a cold and helpless senst deem. The t-bacco had beer, long bu to an ash before he finally went in again Up the stairs he climbed and paused at the door of the girl. "Jean!" he called very gently. Thc-e was no answer, and, confident that she was aslesp, he went on to his own rcom. But Joan only waited until his footfall had gone down th« hall; then she slipped from her the where the law slept.

You are right. There Is nothing to be afraid of. The chance of a person being struck in his home is one in several million. And if you chance to be at your desk in some dov/ntown skyscraper, the lightning cannot reach you. You have the assurance for this of r. M. Spurck, an engineer of the new swltchgear plant of tho General Electric Company at Philadelphia, in charge of the high voltage testing of circuit breakers, where arcs of artificial lightning at from fifteen to twenty feet are played over apparatus to make sure there are no defects and that it will withstand conditions when it in the open in eas.

If you reside on the top of a hill with no trees about, you are in a comparatively perilous position. Such a house is likely to be struck once every 100 years. But If you live In the average city home, with houses of equal height about you, lightning is apt to single you out about once every 1,000 years. As for the residents in the house perched upon the hill, th9 chance is one in several million that they will be stmck by the bolt that comes once every 100 years. The bolt might tear up the roof, or even set it afire, but likely would get no closer to you. It would encounter the electric house wiring and would be carried, impotent, to the ground. Or it would hop onto the plumbing system and docilely speed off Into the The safest place in your house is anywhere except where these lightning conductors are centered. Most plumbing and heating pipes run up and down in the middle of the house. Keep away from the walls in which they run. Do not stand between two metal objects, such as a heating radiator and the plumbing pipes. There is nothing wrong with the superstition that bed is a safe place. In the modern steel office building, lightning can't even get the roof. Most roofs of such buildings are metal and are purposely brought in contact at some point with the steel framework and this circuit absorbs and carries off any lightning that may-chance to shoot down. Perhaps the questio . of the efficacy of lightning rods has never been fully settled in the public mind. Lightning rods are now to be seen chiefly in the country. There is a lightning rod on nearly every house in the cities. though it may not be visible to the efye. Every plumbing system has an air vent--a pipe--that runs upward to, if not through, the roof. It serves exactly as the lightning rod which pricks the air on the farmer's house. Minard's Liniment for "Name this child,' said the Vicar at the christening.
