Lawyers frequently comment, that it is almost uncanny, | how the Constitution makers were able to see into the future | and anticipate so many ph of modern life. The things | they overlooked were relatively few, and probably they didn’t | overlook at all, the “overlooking” being in the way their fol- lowers have interpreted the original. Amendments can co rect anything the framers overlooked. The Declaration of Independence was the father of the Constitution of the United States. We began getting our independence back on July 4, 1776. ‘he job isn’t finished yet. For one thing, we have free peech—except when it is needed most. But you cast your mind’s eye out over the troubled world | ind you wouldn’t trade places with the people of any other country. n= | as changed a lot in the way we observe it. Fireworks have been banned in most communities. That saves many lives. It indicates that in at least this one way we’re becoming more sensible. Wouldn’t you like to come back 147 years from now, in the year 2070, and see what's doing on the Fourth! Fourth of July A CITY OWNED PLANT With the purchase last evening of a full Diesel engine, the city commission gives to Bismarck a complete city owned and city controlled water works system. It is the crowning act of a most-successful venture. For hours the members of the commission have heard arguments upon the merits of the various types and upon the advice of engineers have :picked what in their estimation is the most suitable for the local water works plant. : It: been a hard task indeed for when the proposition of providing a city owned power plant was urged every kind of tactics was used to defeat the purchase of an oil burning engine which is guaranteed to deliver power on the switch- board at a very considerable saving to the tax payers and water consumers generally of Bismarck. When the plant is completely installed, Bismarck in the production of water service for the people will be completely tree from any entangling alliances or contracts with any private utility. The city commission will have complete con- trel of rate making. This is what a great majority of the people want; sentiment is practically unanimous on this matter and if anything less than this had been done by the gommission there would have been disappointment and 2 feeling that the job was only half done. =: The city commission has been unanimous upon the pur- €hase of oil engines as have been most of the members of the eitizgens’ committee appointed by Mayor Lenhart to aid in the solution of the er works problem. - They have labored long hours for. the welfare of Bis- arck and deserve the heartiest approval of her citizens. No step since the decision 6n city paving years ago approxi- mates this in importance to the future and general welfare ef Bismarck. It is a step for the good of all the peopl the health of the community and the welfare of generations Yet unborn. * ~. The next great step is to get good business management @f the city plant. There must be efficiency and until a large portion of the plant is paid for there can be no immediate réduction in water rates. Bismarck must finance the oper- ations of this plant conservatively and The Tribune believes the people will bear with the commi. of water increases so that greater income will mean reduced Yates: Carping critics there will be who will raise the usual hue and cry about taxes. If Bismarck is to grow and take her proper rank among the up-to-date cities, her citizens must put something into the city if they ever expect to get greater returns in the way of increased population, a healthier citizenry and civic improvements that have Been too long wanting in the Capital City. Some who are protesting the most are the best able to pay and belong to a class that Bismarck has done the most for. The time has come for them to do something—for all of us to do something big toward the growth of the best litile city in the world. “! BISMARCK! WATCH HER GROW. : :s, After 20 years experimenting, Franz Lang comes from Munich, Germany, with an apparently perfected crude oil motor that operates without an ignition system. He calls it the Acro Motor. If successful, no more bother with car- beretors, timers, magnetos and spark plugs. ; ~’ Auto drivers will realize the importance of such a motor, when they stop to think that crude oil can be purchased in ies for a few cents a gallon, Would some gasoline maker ay Lang’s motor to keep it off the market?

Pendean is last in the ‘company of: Jenny's uncle, Ro- bert Redmayne, when the two visit a bungalow being erected by Mich- acl near Foggintor Quarry. Blood is found on the floor of the cottage and witnesses testify to having seen Robert ride away on motor bicycle with a heavy sack behind the saddle. Jenny gocs to live with her unele, Bendigo Red- mayne, and Brendon visits her there. Mark is introduced to Giu- seppe Doria, who works for Bendi- fo. On the road to his hotel Bren- don mects Robert Redmayne but fails to capture him. Jenny and seen | Doria meet Robert on the beach. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY He appears to be sane,” she an- d. “He made no mention of ast and neither spoke of his crime nor of what, he has been do- ing since. He made me send Doria out of earshot and then told me that he had only come here to see you. He has been here some days, hidden’ in one of the caves down the coast westward.” “And still you say he behaved like a sane man, Mrs, Pendean?” asked Brendon. “Yes—except for what seemed an insane fear. 1 implored him to come with me in the boat and see Uncle Bendigo and trust to the mercy of his fellow men. But he is very suspicious. He thanked me and groveled- horribly to me; but he would not trust either me or Doria, or think of entering the boat. “I asked him, then, to tell me what he wished and how I could help him. He considered and said that if Uncle Bendigo Would see him quite alone and swear, before God, not to hinder his departure in any way after they had met, he would come to ‘Crow’s Nest’ tonight after swe the p ithe household was asleep. “For the moment he wants food and a lamp to light his hiding-place after dark. His hope is that you will give him means and clothes, so that he may leave England safely and get ‘to Uncle Albert in Italy. He made us swear not to say where we had found him, and then he ingi- cated a spot Where I was to bring your answer in writing before dark.” Mr. Redmayne nodded. “And at the same time you had better take the poor wretch some food and drink and the lamp. How he has lived for the last six months I cannot understand.” “In the first place,” declared Rob- ert Redmayne’s brother, “the man must be mad, whatever appears to the contrary. tonight—or rather tomorrow morn- ing. I'll bid him come at one o'clock and he shall find the door open and a light in the hall.” Some provisions were put into the launch and, with the letter in her pocket, Jenny again set out. It was already growing dusk be- fore she left and Giuseppe drove the little vessel to its limit of speed. Then Brendon was much surpris- ed. He had been standing under the flagstaff with the master of “Crow’s Nest,” watching the launch, and when she nad vanished west- ward into a gray, still evening, Ben- digo clmllenged the detective with a proposition altogether unexpected. “See here,” he said. “I've got a damned, uneasy feeling about meet- ing my brother single-handed to- night. I can’t tell you what it is. I've promised to meet. him alone and I shan't be telling the poor man a lie, because, if all's straight and he shows no violence, he needn't know anybody else is there.” “You are wise and I quite agree with you,” said Mark, “No doubt |Doria is a man you can, rely upon in every way and he is powerful too.” , But Bendigo shook his head, ~ “No,” he answered. “I've left this question until Doria and my, niece were out of the way, for a ver¥good ‘Yeason, I don’t. want them in this ithing more than they are already. What I want up there is you and ,only you.” Brendon considered. fae “I confess the idea occurred to | ™Me as soon as we had your brother's offer; but seeing the terms, I \couldn’t press for it,” he said. “Now j1 agree and, what's more, I think it ;wauld be very desirable if nobody— jnot even the household—knew I was here.” \ “That can be done. If you send your car away and say you'll report tomorrow, then the -police won't j trouble “ts any more till we see what next. You can go up to the tower and get into the big case I keep my flags and odds and ends in.

Mark had already taken up his posi- tion in the chamber aloft and Ben- digo looked to it that he should not be interfered with. ig At agreed time Doria and his mastcr me up together, the for- mer carrying alight. Jenny also joined them for a short while, but she stayed only ten minutes | und then departed to bed. Giuseppe brought up a jug df watcr, a bottle of spirits, a little kes cf tobaeco, and two or three clay pipes, for the old sea captain never smoked till after supper and then puffed steadily until he went to bed. CHAPTER VII The Compact Bendigo lit his pipe and to his only book. It was Dick.” Herman Melville’s ma piece had long ago become for th old sailor the one piece of litera- turé in the world. “Well,” he said to Doria, “get you gone. Look round as usual to see that abl’s snug aloft and below; then turn in, Leave only the light in the hall and the front door on the latch. Did you mark if he had a watch to know the hour?” “He had no watch, but Mrs. Pen- dean thought upon that and lent him hers.” Bendigo nodded and picked up clay pipe, while Doria spoke in. “May I speak of your niece a mo. ment before I go?” Bendigo shrugged shoulders and pushed through his red hair. “It’s no good speaking of her all you've spoken to her,” he said. “I know what you are after very well. But it’s up to her, I reckon, not m>. She’s gone her own way since was a nipper—get her father's hid under her woman's shape.” “Our Italian way is to approach the parents of the loved one,” ex plained Doria. “To win you is th be far on my way, for you stand to her in the place of parent. Is it not so? She cannot live alone, She was not meant by God to be gle woman, or a widow won “But what about your ambitions— to wed an heiress and claim the title and the territory of your vanished forebears?” Doria swept his hands to and left with a great though casting hopes. “It ts fate,” he said. “I planned my life without love. I had never loved and never wanted to. Now { do not want the rich woman but only she who wakens my _ passion, Life has nothy Madonna—English turned his his round hand ill sin- right gesture, as away his former in Jenny.” “We can stow the subject for months anyhow,” replied Bend lighting his long clay, “I suppos in your country as well as- mine, there’s a right and a Wrong way to approach a woman; and seeing my girl’s a* widow—made 's0 under pe- culiarly sad cireumstances—you'll understand that love talk is out of the question for a good bit yet a while.” “It is too true,” other. “Trust me. I will hide yiy soul and be exquisitely cautid Her sorrow shall be respected—f no selfish motive only, but because I am a gentleman, as you remind me.” He was gone and for a moment only the hurtle of the rain on the ground windows of the tower room broke the silence; then Brendon emerged from his hiding-place gd stretched his limbs. Bendigo 7re- it but ix answered the garded him with an expression half humorous and half grim. ~ “That's how the land lies,” said. “Now you've got it,” \ Mark bent his head. As a clock in the hall below beat the hour of one he returned to the cupboard and drew the door behind him. Bendigo had just lighted another pipe when there came the sound of feet ascending the stair; but it was no doubtful or cautious , football that they heard. The as- cending man neither hestitated nor made any effort to approach without noise. He came swiftly and as the sailor stood up calm and collected, to meet his broter—not Robert Redmayne but Giuseppe Doria ap- peared, He was very agitated and his eyes shone. He breathed hard and wip- ed the hair away from his forehead. Hg had evidently been out in the rain, for water glistened on his shoulders and face, Doria explained, “I was going the rounds and just about to turn out the oil lamp over the front gate as usual when 1 re-, membered Mr. Redmayne;? That is¥ | half an hour ago and I thought it would be better to leave the lamp, to guide him, for the night is dark and wild.
