(Established 1873) 14,000 VICTIM yu ever in Augusta, M ard a lot about this town, Suppose, when you picked up today DEAD inc? If not, you have cer. been killed overnight, every one of them. A sensation? Decidedly. People would talk about it for generations, Auto traffic accidents in 1922 killed many Americans as the total population of Augusta—over 14,000. The auto victims were killed gradually, one by one, about, 39 a day. That’s why the year’s death toll creates less ex- citement than if the same number of people were killed simul- taneously in one community. If the entire population of Augusta were killed off over- night or in a year, by any means entirely or even partly pre- ventable, there’d be a great public reaction to prevent a re- currence of the catastrophe. Spurred by the disaster, even Congress would speed up to pass any necessary measure: For years the National Safety Council and other organi- zations have been t ag to get established a uniform traffic code, or national traffic code, but without success. Congress isn’t enough interested. Neither are the people. Such a code wouldn’t prevent all the auto fatalities. But it would help mightily. Keep this in mind. Back it. Tell your friends, While we are on the subject, it’d be an excellent thing for every auto driver to keep in mind that the auto in Amer- ica yearly kills as many peovle as live in Augusta, Maine. More than 14,000! Will your car kill one of this year’s 14,600? Or will you be one of the 14,000 victim Drive carefully, remembering that constant and personal caution is the greatest safety device. y Pedestrians should exercise the same alertness in cross- ing the streets. Everything you do to help hold down the auto accident toll, protects your life as well as other’s, And if we don’t check this rapidly growing evil, it’ll wind up in a character- istically American reaction of extreme severity. If indifferent about your life, jay-walk. If indifferent whether you kill some one else, drive reck- lessly. IMMIGR President Cutten of Colgate versity fears race suicide is wiping out the old-line Americans. He advances this novel idea: “The fallacy of the melting pot was that we thought euyimonmien| played so much larger part in life than hered- ity. The Egyptian civilization fell by the process of verile in- vaders and race suicide practical people. However, nature ha inexorable law about the fittest surviving. And on in America—except the red Indian—is either an immigrant of the descendant of an immigrant. Don’t blame immigration for race suicide’s penalties. HOME The home is the lez of Liberal Arts. He the home lags behind the school and church because it has not made use of science. “There are parents who prepare themselves more seriously for the} raising of poultry than for the bringing up of their own children.” It is ez there are v that the average home is less efficient than, for instance, schools, is too much most successful of social institutions. PANAMA _ Our tremendous investment in the Panama Canal is be- ginning to pay a bett te of interest. Ships using the canal have been paying nearly two million dollars a month in tolls. This is a gain of about two-thirds in a year. Panama Canal is due for big business. Oil tankers from the huge California field are expected to pay it five million dollars a month before long. Other traffic will increase, partly as result of high railroad rates. sy to start an argument about anything. Before the canal is “anyways near paid for,” freight will, be moving through the ai original purpose was naval- That’s all right. The canal’s rategic, not commercial. Enough water to cover Connecticut three feet deep is the; storage capacity of the government’s irrigation reservoirs in western states. The good work is going ahead steadily. Excavation dur- ing 1922 exceeded a million cubic yards a month. Projects now under way or completed will sprout 70,000 farms up out; of the deserts. In his peace activities, Uncle Sam occasion- ally demonstrates—as in irrigation—potential possibilities of democracy. Our political system is all right, as long as we live up to it. 5 CHURCH The tide is turning, and Europeans are coming back tu the churches, reports Prof. K. H. Roessingh of Leyden, Hol- land. This comes after an epidemic of despair and religious doubt—reaction from the war and its misery. ' The swing back to the church in Europe is the kind of reconstruction that counts most. For Europe’s real troubles and problems are spiritual. oii lll % TIME “Network of airplane lines is being planned for.

NEWSP. SVS. BEGIN HERE TODAY Mark Brendon, famous criminal investigator, is taking holiday on Dartmoor and’ is engaged by Jenny Pendean to solve the mystery. of her husband’s disappearance, Mich- ael Pendean is last seen’in the com- pany of Jenny’s uncle, Robert Red- mayne, when the two go to work on a new bungaow for “the Tendean: near Foggintor Quarry. Blcod is found on the floor of the cottage and several witnesses testify to having seen Robert ride away on his motor bicycle with a heavy sack behind the saddle. A report tomes that Redmayne has visited his boarding ho’ ince the disappearance of Micha cement sack from the new bungalow is found in a rabbit hole at a far distance from the scene of mystery. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY An hour later Mark Brendon had packed a bag and started in a police motor car for Paignton. He called at Robert Redmayne's lodgings after he had eaten some sapper at the Singer Hotel. There he had taken a room, that he might see and hear something of the van- ished man’s future wife and her family. "At No. 7 Marine Terrace the landlady, a Mrs. Medway, could say little, Captain Redmayne was a genial, kind-hearted, but hot-headed gentleman, she told Mark. Brendon examined the motor bi- cycle with meticulous care. There was a rest behind the saddle made of iron bars, and here he detected stains of blood. A fragment of tough string tied to the rest was also stained. Later in the day Brendon return- ed to his hotel and introduced him- self to Miss Reed and her family to find that her brother, Robert Red- mayne’s friend, had returned to London. She and her parents were sitting together in the lounge when he joined them. All three appeared to be much shocked and painfully mystified. None could throw any light. Mr. and Mrs. Reed were] quiet, elderly people who kept a draper shop in London; their daugh- ter revealed more character. “Did you ever hear Captain Red- mayne speak of his niece and her husband?” Brendon inquired, and {Flora Reed answered: “He did; and he always said that Michael Pendean was a ‘shirker’ and a coward. He also assured me that he had done with his niece and should never forgive her for marry- ing her husband. But that was be- fore Bob went to Princetown, six 5 From there he wrote quite a different story. He had met them by chance and he found that Mr. Pendean had not shirked but had done good work in the war and got the 0. B. E.” “You have neither seen nor heard of the captain sincez” “Indeed, no, My last letter, which you can sec, came three days ago. In it he merely said he would be back yesterday and meet me to bathe as usual. I went to bathe and looked out for him, but of course he didn’t come.” “Tell me. a little about him, Miss Reed,” said Mark. “Captain Red- mayne, I hear, had suffered from shell shock and a breath of poison gas also. Did you ever notice any signs that these troubles had left any mark upon him?” i “Yes,” she answered. “We all did My mother was the first to point out that Bob often repeated him- self”. “Was he a man you can conceive of as capable of striking or killing a fellow creature?” The lady hesitated. ¢ “I only want to help him,” she answered.* “Therefore I say that, given sufficient provocation, I can imagine Bob's temper flaring out, and I can see that it would have been possible to him, in a moment of passion, to strike down a. man. He had seen much death and was himself absolutely indifferent to danger. Yes, 1 can imagine him do- ing an enemy, or fancied enemy, a hurt; but what I, cannot imagine him doing is what he is supposed to have done afterward—evade the consequence of a mistaken act.” “And yet we haye the strongest testimony that he has tried to con- ceal a murder—whether committed by ‘himself, or somebody else, we cannot yet say.” “I only hope and pray, for all our sakes, that you will find himy* she réplied, “but if, indeed, he has been betrayed into such, an awful crime, I do not think you will find him.” “Why ‘not, Miss Reed? But, I think I kno®&, What is in your mind had already passa through my own. The thought of suicide.” She nodded and put her handker- chief to her eyes. 1 Mark Brendon thanked her for her informdtion and repeated his grow- ing conviction that the subject of their speech -had probably committed suicide. For two days the detective re- mained at Paignton and devoted all his energy, invention, and experience to the task of discovering the van- ished men, Then Brendon prepared to return to Princetown. He wrote his inten: tion to Mrs, Pendean and informed her that he would visit Station Cot- tages on the following evening. It |happened, however, that his letter crossed another and his plans were altered, for Jenny Pendean had al- ready left, Princetown and joined Mr. Bendigo Redmayne at his house, “Crow's Ne: She wrote: “My uncle has begged me to come and I was thankful to do so.

CHAPTER IV A Clue. A motor boat lay off Kingswear Ferry when Mark Brendén arrived. She was painted white and fur- nished with teak. Her brasses and machinery glittered; the engines and stecring wheel were set forward, while aft of the cabins and saloon an awning was rigged ever the stern. The solitary sailor who controlled the launch was in the act of furling this protection against the sun as Mark descended to the water; and while the man did so, Brendon’ brightened, for a passenger alr occupied the boat; a woman there and he saw Jenny Pendean. The boat was speedy and she soon slipped out between the historic cas- tles that stood on either bank of the entrance to the harbor. Mrs. Pendean pointed to the man in the bows. He sat upright with his back to them at the wheel for- ward. He had taken off his hat and was singing very gently to him- elf, but hardly loud enough to be heard against the drone of the en- gines. His song was from an carly opera of Verdi. “Have you noticed that man?” Mark shook Ris head. . “He is an Italian. He comes from Turin but has worked in England for some time.” She cailed to the boatman. “Stand out a mile or so, Doria,” she said. “I want Mr. Brendon to and altered their course for the op- en sea, He had turned at Jenney Pendean’s voice and shown Mark a brown, bright, clean-shorn face of great beauty. “Giusepee Doria has a wonderful story about himself,” continued Mrs. Pendean. “Uncle Ben tells me that he claims descent from a very an- cient family and is the last of the Dorias of—I forget—some _ place near Ventimiglia.” The boat turned west presently, passed a panorama of cliffs and lit- tle bays with sandy beaches, and anon skirted higher and sterner) precipices,’ which leaped six hun- dred feet aloft. Perched among them like a bird's nest stood a small house with win- , dows that blinked out over the Channel. It rose to a tower room in the midst, and before the front there stretched a plateau, whereon | stoud a flagstaff and spar, from the point of which fluttered a red en- sign. The motor launch slowed down and presently grounded her bow on the pebbles. Then Doriz od the engine, flung a gangwy s ashore, and stood by to hand Jenny Pendean and the deteckive to the beach. The place appeared to hyve no exit; but, behind a ledge ‘of rock, stairs carved in the stone wound upward, guarded by an’ iron handrail. Jenny led the way .and Mark followed her until two hun- dred steps were climbed afd they stood on the terrace above. It was fifty yards long and gov- ered with sea gravel. Two littie brass cannon thrust their mu: over the para pet to seaward and the central space of grass about the flagpole was neatly surrounded with a decoration of scallop shells. “Could anybody but an old sailor have created this place?” asked Brendon. A middle-aged man with a tele- scope under his arm came along the terrace to greet them, Bendigo Redmayne was square and solid with) the cut of the sca about him. His \, uncovered head blazed with flaming, close-clipped hair and he wore also a short, red. beard and whiskers growing grizzled. But his long up- per lip was shaved. He had a weather-beaten face—ruddy _ and deepening to purple about the cheek bones—with eyebrows, rough as bent grass, over deep-set, sulky eyes of reddish brown. His mouth was un- rhung, giving him a pugnacious and bad-tempered appearance. Nor did his looks appear to libel the old sailor. To Brendon, at any rate, he showed at first no very great con- sideration, “You've come I see,” he said, shaking hands. No news?” “None, Mr. Redmayne.” “Well, well! To think Scotland Yard’ can't find a poor soul that’s gone off his rocker!” “You might have helped us to do so,” said Mark shortly, “if it’s tru, that you've had a letter from yo brother.” . /‘T'm doing it, aint I? It’s here for you.” ’ “You've lost two days.” (Continued in Our Next Issue) f A THOUGHT i There is that scattereth, ang yet increaseth; and there ts that with- holdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poyerty.~Prov, 11-24. .
