In every city there is the best cooper- ition between the Rotary, Kiwanis and Lions clubs, Ther will be no exception to this general rule in Bismarck. Once or twice a year there should be a joint meeting of the three clubs to coordinate their programs so that there will be no} duplication of effort. The Bismarck Retary has sponsored the boy welfare work and cooperation with the school authori ‘There are many other matters of moment for the Kiwanis and Lions clubs to father. A juvenile and adult band under the auspices of the As- sociation of Commerce will need the aid and earnest cooper- ation of all civic bodies. There is a pressing need for or- ganized girl welfare work for twelve months in the year and the city. should at an early date begin preparation upon a plan for city parks. The ideal feature of all these clubs is the fact that they function with the Association of Commerce. In many Ki- wanis, Rotary and Lions clubs it is an unwritten law that membership in the Association of Commerce is first qualifi- cation for fellowship in the other club. In an age where there is a tendency to over organize, the importance of a strong virile Association of Commerce which takes in every citizen should not be under estimated. The other clubs serve as a force to promote civic welfare through an indirect influence, but the organization through which the actual work is done is most effective if it happens to be the Association of Commerce: The Kiwanis club Bismarck. It has been most auspiciously launched. The Tribune knows it voices the sentiments of other organizations in wishing this new venture the greatest success in promot- ing the welfare of this city and in inspiring more citizens to engage in work of a public nature. There is little or no difference between the spirit of Rotary and that of Kiwanis. can be well summed up as follows: The ideal of SERVICE as the basis of all worthy enter- prise. High ethical stand and professi 4 The application of the ideal of service by every Kiwanian to his personal, business and community life. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupa- tions and the dignifying by each Kiwanian of his occupation as antopportunity to serve society. +) The advancement of understanding, good will and inter- national peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the Kiwanis ideal of service. THE While fishing, Rodger Dolan got a sore throat which developed into tonsilitis, then painful quinsy. By this time the camping party was 28 miles from even a village. But Dolan needed a doctor, so one of the Indian guides took him the 28 miles by canoe and portage. “The place wasn’t even a village,” Dolan tells the story. “It was a community of about 15 houses, no stores. I in- quired my way to the doctor’s house. It was a little frame dwelling. The doctor’s wife—in gingham wrapper, her hands gnarled and red from helping her husband fight for existence — came to the door. She informed me that the celebrated physician was out back, chopping wood, and to just step into his office.” “The office was a surprise.” “This office,” Dolan continues, “looked like business. The linoleum had a faked inlaid-tiles design. In one corner was a white enameled bookcase affair with glass shelves, in which the doctor’s shining tools were displayed. On a table were the latest medical magazines. | “The doctor showed up presently. He had ‘washed up’ and donned a white hospital jacket.. He examined me thor- oughly, painted my throat ulcers, then went into his dis-| pensing laboratory whence, after half an hour with mortar and pestle, he emerged with a pint of throat gargle and an- other pint of tonic. “His charge for the whole works, examination and medi- éine and all, was one dollar. I protested that I didn’t want to shove him any nearer the poorhouse, but he said: ‘A dol- lar is all I can charge the local settlers, and I wouldn’t| feel square to ask any more of an outsider, not even Rocke- feller, or Ford! “I baited him with questions and learned that most, of | his work in his far-flung community was charity. Also that | he had to chop his own firewood and farm a big garden to make both ends meet. Y .. “It was amazing, his intuitive medical genius. I found that he was u g two cancers by radium borrowed by registered mail from a far-off city. 2 “ ‘Sometimes I wish I had hung out my shingle in a larger ind more remunerative community,’ the doctor confided most emphatically as he gazed out the window. ‘But I ¢an’t leave these people. They need me. Some one has to be here, to care for them when they get ill’ . .. - #} There is a great lesson in this backwoods doctor’s life of self-sacrifice for duty.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Roberts Barton “All out for Circus Town!” called | out Mister Punch the conductor man Nancy and’ Nick got off the Choo- Choo Express, hoping to find Ruby Joan there. ‘Town was where the cir- cus lived when it wasn't traveling around. | “Hello!” called a merry clown} turning a somersault when he saw the Twins. “It was a nice day to- morrow, isn’t it.” The Twins laughed. | But just as the clown got settled nicely on his feet again and they were going to ask him ff he had seen anything of a rag doll, a nice little black and white pony came trotting up with a tiny monkey on his bac! “Want a ride?” asked the monke for in Circus Town al] the animals | coulg talk. | “Yes, indeed, thank you,” said Nick, “Then climb on, both of you,” said the monkey jumping off. So they climbed on and the little pony trotted off like a race horse. But he was easy to ride and the Twins hadn’t the least bit of trou- | ble sticking on. “Oh, what’s that?” cried Nancy, as a big round white thing ap- peared directly in front of them. We're going to bump right into it!” “Jump!” suddenly called a voice. Both Twins gave a leap off the | pony’s back, but to their surprise they found themsélves back on him again right away, riding along as though nothing had happened. “We went through a paper-hoop!” laughed Nick. “We're regular cir- | cus-riders!” | After rthat they did so many | things and had such a wonderful time that they forgot about Ruby Joan, and the train too until they heard the whistle. “Oh, the Choo-Ch-o Express is go- jing, cried Nick. “We'll have to jhurrv back to the station.” “Tl take you,” offered an ele- phant and reaching down with his trunk he set them both on his back and started off at run, They were just in time.

SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1923 BEGIN HERE TODAY Mark Brendon, famous criminal investigator, is taking holiday on Dartmoor, where fishing is his plea- sure, While visiting a trout stream in Foggintor Quarry, Mark holds conversation with a man clad con- spicuously in Norfolk jacket, knick- erbockers and a red waistcoat with brass buttons. The stranger's h and huge mustaches are fiery red i color. . Later Brendon receive a letter an asking him to ppearance of her usband, k goes to call at enny's home and learns that the man he met in the quarry is Robert Redmayne, unele to Jenny, and that he i ng and suspected of mur- ‘ering Michael Pendcan, who also is Robert Redmayne and his two brothers are Jenny’s three liv- ing relatives, NOW GOON WITH THE STORY “The war altered everything and created a painful breach between my future husband and my Uncle Rob- ert. The latter instantly volunteer- ed and rejoined in the -opportunity to scek adventure. “My husband had no mind for ac- tive warfare. He was delicately built and of a gentle temperament. Uncle Robe 4, however, made a per- sonal thing of it. ‘He represented the situation to his brothers, and Uncle Bendigo— who had just retired, but who, be- longing to th@ Naval Reserve, now joined up and“soon took charge of some mine sweepers—wrote very strongly as to what he thought was Michael's duty, From Italy Uncle Albert also declared his mind to the same purpose, and though I resented their attitude, \the decision, of course, rested with Michael, not with me. He was only five-and- twenty then and he’had no desire but to do his duty. There was no- body to advise him and, perceiving the danger of opposing my uncles’ wishes, he yielded and voluntecred. “But he was refused. A doctor declared that a heart murmur made jthe necessary training quite impos- sible and I thanked God when I heard it. At my own wish Michael married me and I informed my un- cles that he had done so, Relations were strained all round after that; but I did not care; and my fusband only lived to please me. The Prince of Wales had been instrumental in tarting’ a big moss depot for the preparation of surgical dressings; {and both my husband and I joined this station, “For nearly two years we stuck to this task, lodging here with Mrs. Gerry. During that time I fell in love with Dartmoor and begged my husband to build me a bungalow up here when the war was ended, if he could afford to do so, His pilehard, trade with Italy practically came to an end after the summer of ; 1914. But the company of Pendean & Trecarrow owned some good little steamers and these were soon very So Michael, who had’ got to care for Dartmoor as much as I did, presently took steps and suc- ceeded in obtaining a long lease of a beautiful and sheltered spot near Foggintor quarries, a few miles from here. “Meanwhile I had heard nothing from my uneles, though I had seen Uncle Robert’s name in the paper among those who had won the D. S. 0, Michael advised me to leave the question of my money until after the war, and so I did, We began ou? bungalow last year and came back to live with Mrs, Getry until it should be completed. “Six months ago I wrote to Un- cle Albert in Italy and he told’ me that he should deliberate the prepo- sition; but he still much resented my marriage. I wrote to Uncle Bendigo at Dartmouth also, who was now in his new home; but while not particularly angry with me, his reply spoke slightingly of my dear husband, ,; “A week ago I was walking out of the post-office, when who shuuld suddenly stop in front of me on a motor bicycle but Uncle Robert? I waited only ‘to see him ‘dismount and set his machine on a rest before the post-office, Then I approached him. He was lodging at Paignton, down on Torbay, for the summer months, and he hinted that he. was engaged to be married. “He had been to see an old war comrade at Two Sridges, two miles from heré, and meant to lunch at the Duchy Hotel and then proceed to Plymouth; but I prevailed upon him.at last to come and share our midday meal, and I was able to tell him things about Michael which promised to change his unfriendly attitude. When my husband re-. turned from the bungalow I brought thm together again. Michael was on his defense instantly; but he: never harbored a grievance very long: and when he saw that Uncle Bob was not unfriendly and very interested to hear he had won the 0, B.

His memory failed him sometimes, “Michael explained to ward that this defect w. thing and probably ind brain trouble which “might get worse, I begged Uncle Robert 4g top with us for a few days instead of going to Plymouth. We walked out ever the moor in the evening to see the bungalow and my uncle was very interested. “He stopped on and liked to lend a hand with the building smelly, fter the builders had gone, He av Michael often spent hours of these long evenings there together; and I would take out tea to them. “Uncle Robert had told us about his engagement to a young woman me erious ed some the sist f a comrade in the y She w: opping at Paignton with her parents and he was now going to return to her.

There's been a murder all right, but we're more likely to find the mur- derer than his victim.” They went out together and soon stood in the building, ‘ “Now -let’s have the story from where you come in," said Brendon, and Mnspector Halfyard told his tale. “Somewhere about a quarter after midnight I whs knocked up. Down I came and Constable Ford, on dut: at the time, told.me that Mrs, Pen? dean wishful to see me. “Her husband and her uncle, Cap- tain Redmayne, had gone to the bungalow, as they often did after working hours, to carry on a bit; but at midnight they hadn't home, and she was put about . for ‘em. Hearing of the motor bike, I thought there might have heen. a breakdown, if not an accident, so 1 told Ford to knoek uy another chap and go down along the road, Which they did do—and Ford came back at half after three with ugly news that they’d seen nobody, but they’d found a great pool of blood inside the bungalow—as if somebody had bgen sticking a pig there. ‘Twas daylifht by then and I motored out instabt- searched the quar- come “I looked round very carefully for anything in the nature of a clue, but I couldn’t see so much as a button. The quarrymen don’t work here because this place hasn't been open for more than a hundgsd years; but they go to Duke’s quitry down at Merivale, and most of ’em have push bikes to,.take ’em to and from their job, “At their cottages, on my ‘way back to breakfast, I got some in- formation of a very definite kind. Two men told the same tale and they hadn't met before they told it. One was Jim Bassett, under fore- man at Duke’s quarry, and one was Rihgrose, the water. bailiff who lives in the end cottage. Bassett was smoking at his door at ten o'clock and Robert Redmayne camo alone, pushing his motor bicycle till he reached the, road. And behind the saddle he had a big sack fasten- en to the machine. “Bassett wished him ‘good night’ and he returned the compliment; and half a\ mile down the by-road, Ringrosé also passed him.” Inspector Halfyard stopped. “Did Ringrose also report the sack behind the motor bicycle?” asked Brendon.
