Ce a a a a ¢ The calm sea says more to # the thoughtful soul than the ¢ ¢ same sea in storm and tumult. ¢ od —Amicl. ° a a a TURN O’ THE YEAR. Once more a year swings into its last lap, and we have with us the autumnal equinox! Precisely at 3 Sunday morning you should have experienced a sen- sation that made you drop everything, sit back in your chair, and authori- tatively announce, “Autumn's here!” But autumn sneaks up on us city dwellers. Country folk have watched its stately approach for some time and welcomed its advance agents in the yellowing corn, the orchard trees beginning to gleam with red jewels, the black of the wild grape, and the flaunting heralds of the goldenrod. Country housewives are planning the “big days” of farm housekeeping, the soft soap boiling, the lard rendering when the season’s crop of pork is glo- riously transformed into juicy hams, bacon, tenderloins, side meat and—um —yum!—“cracklings!”; and that last, perfum-ey day of apple butter making. Country children are scheming and dreaming of nutting parties up the creek, and of moonlight coon hunts in the big woods. Here in the city we know it is autumn too—but by what sorry signs. We learn by the flip of a calendar leaf; by the presentation of the milli- ner’s bill for friend wife's fall hat; by the sudden sharp chill of the breeze from the open window as we tumble out in the cold gray fog that serves us for autumn mornings. But even for us -prodigal sons there is a crumb of joy from Mother Na- ture’s rich table. As we plod along some suburban street on our way to business we hear a sudden, dimly familiar crackle under foot, catch a vagrant sweetness, and looking down, discover that we are wading ankle} deep in sweet brown and yellow au- tumn leaves! Sometimes, at night there is the tang of leaf-smoke from a surreptitious bonfire in a neighbor- ing alley—and is it the smoke which fills our eyes with tears as we remem- ber our little boy selves, laboriously raking the lawn in long ago autumns | and heaping the gathered gold for aj) bonfire and potato roast in the «id! back yard at home? Autumn again—turn o’ the yexr New dreams—old dreams! Autumn: again! STOP 10.CENT BREAKFASTS. | There are too many 10-cent break-} fasts! You can’t run a nation or even a nation’s business on bread and coffee courage. Every city lunch counter and cheap restaurant in our American cities] shows too many workers starting al ‘day's work on two rolls and a cup of coffee—two cents food, three cents nerve stimulus, and five cents for the restaurant owner. Thé majority of the 10-cent break- fasters are girls. They are fine look- ing girls wth pretty hats and neat suits,-and a capable self-respecting air —and all they have to support that capacity and; that self-respect until store of youth and courage—backing up that cheap coffee courage. It works fine—for a whilo—and for you, Mr. Business Mau. When it quits working all YOU ki ibout it is that your stenographer's health broke and you have to get a ew and poorer one. It works fine for business—but it ay S| stops there. It doesn’t work at all for tne girl— nor for your United tates for which you wave your flag and send your boys to fight, and then calmly kill off the best types of your young women, the only thing that can keep your nation alive. Mr. Business Man, here's another little job for your patriotism. STOP THESE 10-CENT BREAK- FASTS! A woman who works can live in decency and some vomfort on $15 a week. She can LIVE on $10. She can exist on $8. After that—silence. ‘No!—not silence! Let's have the truth! On salaries of less than $10 a week a woman's business usefulness—with her average reserves of youth and courage—lasts about three years. Aft- *| er that the white plagte gets her. The | white plague is the very child of the 10-cent breakfast. After that—if it isn’t the white plague and friendly death that gets her it is something worse—it is some- thing you and your respectable, good- hearted wife never mention except in whispers—or in papers before soci- eties of improvement! ‘War gets all the publicity as the champion destroyer—but it isn’t far ahead of the 10-cent breakfast. | THE PERFECT ANSWER TO THE DISLOYALISTS. Sooner or later the American gov- ernment will have to come down with in iron hand upon those who openly preach disloyalty, talk and write sedi- tion, and give the German enemy aid and comfort by opposing everything that will make this nation potent in war. Some of those guilty of these things are native born, and some are for- eign born who have become natural- ized citizens. If anything, the sin of the latter is the greater. They came here volun- tarily. and duties, and the inestimable priv- ileges, of American citizenship of their. own accord. No one forced them. But once they did so, it behooved them | to walk straight, act straight,. think straight. No better words on the subject have been spoken than those by Uhief Jus- tice Andrew A. Bruce of the supreme court of North Dakota. Judge Bruce was born in India, son of a British soldier, came here when a youth, stud- ied law and made his own way to the top. And here is what this natural- ized titizen has to say: * “I speak from the viewpoint of the foreign born. {| and millions of oth- ers like me, came to this country alone, without money and without friends. We sponged on all America had, her freé“Yands, her free schools and above all her spirit of open heart- ed comradeship. She owed us noth- ing, but she gave us all. We swore allegiance to her flag, her constitu- tion and her laws. We would be recreants, ingrates, perjurers and curs if in the hour of her need we counselled with her enemies and were disloyal to her cause.” This seems to be the perfect an- swer to the disloyalists. It should serve as a chart and guide to them. There is no excuse for anyone guilty of treachery to America. Ordinarily this is not a country that asks much of its people. It offers them so much and requires so little. It encourages the development of their own individuality and well being. It rejoices to see them prosper. It plans no oppression. Its statesmen do not spend their nights’ and days dream- ing of the robbery of their neighbor states. It does not devote thought to war making. We are in the war not because we love war or glory in it or hope to Sain by it, but because we could not) | lis learns that Vera is Gerald Carring- retain our self-respect, our independ- ence and our liberty if we remained Passive.

Later they find the perpetrator of the crime, who had been drowned in an effort to escape. CHAPTER XXXII. A Secret of the Sea. We were compelled to resort to rope and pulley, and then search through the dead man’s clothes to: discover the key. Even with that found, it required | the sharp edge of a hatchet to force] open the cover. As it lifted, the sight was greeted with crieg of astonish- ment. “Good Lord, str, it’s hnoney, and a stack of it!” “English and French coins” “Aye, and Spanish !”.

He lifted his eyes to’ mine in be wilderment, “I don’t just know, sir” “he stam- mered. “It doesn’t seem exactly the e thing—is it, sir?” ~ , it’s not,”.I answered firmty, and I slammed down the cover, locked It, and put the key in riy pocket. “Now look: here; men, and you particularly, Jim White—this isn’t our: gold. I do not know who it belongs to, ‘or how these dead men ever came into Its pos- session. But there is a curse on the stuff, which has already cost the lives rot eight. men that we know of. No one has touched it but.to.dle. I'll tell you fellows plainly just what I'm going to do. I'm going to sail this schooner straight into St. Johns harbor, with those dead men locked in ‘the cabin, and this chest. of gold here unopened on the deck. It is going :to be Eng- lish courts which will decide the own- ership of this chest’and.its.contents— not Jim White. \ Are you with me, Lea: yord?” “Aye, aye, sir!” PF MASH “And you, Olson?” ote “I suppose that’s best, sir,” reluc tantly. “I don’t want any trouble.” “I thought not; now fall ‘to, all of you, and shake the reefs out of those topsails, I'll take the wheel, and we'll point the bow toward port.” The morning of the second day the speeding Rose of Gaspe rounded the northern head, and. swept ‘lke a fair, white bird into the beautiful harbor of St.Johns. We tied up at Long. Wharf, and, within an hour, I, had* told our story to the port captain, and officers | of the marines had taken possession of the vessel. That very ‘afternoon the five of us gave our testimony before the maritime court, and were permit- ted. to go free. Before Jeaving the courtroom the judge spoke with me Rrivately. ; 1 “This Is indeed a strange case, Cap- tain Hollis,” he said, “and,. perhaps, the truth will never be learned, yet it is evident that you and your crew had nothing to do with the death of these men, of the possession of this chest of Money.” “May I ask, judge, ff anything has were no papers of value found in the eabin—an excellent chart of the Lab- rador coast, 2 memorandum in French, 80 discolored as to be almost unread- able, accompanied by a rudely drawn map, and a list of the schooner’s crew.” “What sas.the name of the cook?” “He shipped as Gustave Montain of St. Clair, There is no such man known In that village.” “And the leader, Gaston de Lys?” “We find trace of him only for a few. months, Mr, Hollis, Where he came from, and whither he went are thus far unknown. Gaston de Lys appeared in’ Placentia some two months since, ac- companied by one of the men who died’ with him in the schooner’s cabin—the one dark-faced—like an Indian—and' sought among the fishermen there for a certain type of boat. They were very particular, stating they wished to leave for a voyage of three months, repre- senting themselves merely-as travelers for pleasure who desired to cruise along the Labrador const.: At last they! leased the Rose of Gaspe, from a-man of wealth, Richard Martin, who had previously used the schooner asf pri- yate yacht. It was refitted and pro- visioned, and the crew arrived from Halifax. None among them was known In Placentia, but the inhabitants say that only two or three among them had ‘he apnearance of sailors, They put to tea seven weeks ago. Beyond that we know absolutely nothing.” “But the chest of coins? have you no knowledge as to where it came from?” “No more than a mere guess; there Is no-guide. Beyond doubt this Gaston de Lys learned of its existence some- where in Labrador, and planned its recovery. The men with -him also knew what it was they sailed to seek. In my judgment this must be a treas- ure of the old Hudson’s Bay company, lost and hidden a hundred years ago, yet we cnn get no trace of such a dis- appearance of coin in the records, We cannot deny its existence; it Is here now in our custody, but who its right- ful owner may be, will probably never ve determined.” “Then what will become of it?” Tle smiled. “That {s rather a fine question of law. I should say. that you men who recovered it at sea, have the best clum, although it must be held intact! for a certain length of time to give any rightful claimant opportunity to furnish proof of ownership. Of course, ‘n ease no such claimant appears, the sovernment takes its share.” “And the amount contained in the chest?” “Exceeded seven hundred thousand dollars.” I rejoined Vera at the hotel, stand- ing beside her in a window looking out upon the harbor.
