W. LUCAS ; Bismarck loses an enterprising citizen in the death in Chicago Friday evening of A. W. Lucas, president of Lucas’ Department store. A community’s sympathy goes out to the lereaved family. Their grief and shock over the sudden demise are the community’s also, because Mr. Lucas played a large part in the upbuilding of Bismarck and gave much fof his time and\money to community welfare. Bismarck can illy afford to spare such citizens.

As an active member of the Rotary ttlub, he took part in many movements for civic betterment. Few drives for funds to aid every conceivable projeci were tcomplete without the energy, optimism and good nature of “Otto” Lucas as he was known to his closest friends, Mr. Lucas shunned publicity. He never cared for ap- ; plause but was satisfied with a good turn well done. He had tunate than he was. None of these deeds has been made public, but hundreds in Bismarck are giving tribute to the generosity of A. W. Lucas today as, they realize deeply that “his'death means the loss of a friend that counted. What for his many kind acts when he passes down the long, long trail? YOUR SHARE How much money do you make? If your family’s income is $636 a year for each member of the family, you are get- ting exactly your share (using simple arithmetic in deter- ple combined now is around 70 billion dollars a for every man, woman and child. So claim the economists after studying the official records l year ended June 30. The figure of $636, of course, is obtained by averaging the incomes of everybody, all the way from Ford and Rockefeller down to the person who hasn’t any income at all. ° On this basis, to be doing just average well, a family con- sisting of husband, wife and three children should have an income of $3180 a year. \ ‘ Some economists, however, believe that 70 billion dollars is too high an estimate of the national yearly income. Their opinions vary, down as low as 40 billions. Which would pull the average person’s income to about $364 a year. year, or $636 How much are you “worth”? If your family wealth is more than $3600 for each member of the family, you have more than your arithmetical share. : For the treasury figures indicate that the entire national wealth is equivalent to $3600 for every man, woman and child. If any American has a fortune of a billion dollars, he has as much as the arithmétical share of 300,000 average Amer- icans, Let that sink in. Our national wealth is mortgaged to the extent of $112 for caghaaf us, figuring on the basis of the national debt and not intluding the 10 billion dollars or so that we loaned to | foreign governments incident to the war. Even if this big sum never were paid back, it is just about balanced by Amer- | ican investments abroad. This, then, is the financial condition of Mr. Average American: He apparently has an income of $636 a year. He is worth $3600. He is in debt, through his national govern- ment, $112.

The fact is they don’t know much about the town itself now, but the name has become quite familiar to them, thanks to the Buxton High School band that “has been giving concerts at the parks under the sponsorship of the Minneapolis Park board.

Superintendent Arthur Thomp- son and his young players’ were entitled to and were given a cor- dial welcome in the metropolis of the Northwest. Minneapolis is a musical city, and it has long been proud of the musical training given the boys and girls in the public schools. Its citizens believe a knowledge and a love of music are things very well worth while and they are not slow to show their interest in such an organization as that of Buxton. These boys and virls, under the leadership of Mr. TLompson, are doing a lot to put Buxton on the map in a favorable wa. In this respect they are serving bettey for their town than some of. the’ citizens of Shelby, Mont., did for theirs a fortnight ago. The Buxton band is one more visible evidence of the serious at- tention that is being given in the United States to the teaching of music to the youth. It is possible that out of this organization in a small town will emerge in due course a musical artist of work- wide fame, but whether or not that shall come to be, the members of the band are laying the foundation for the larger and fuller life that comes of intelligent musical under- standing.—Minneapolis Tribune: THE PHILIPPINES CRISIS Governor General Leonard Wood iz apparently facing a stiff situa- tion in the Philippines, as stiff per- haps as any he has! ever grappled with in his varied career ag a civil administrator The simultaneous resignation 2f so many of the leading Filipino of- fictals ig a clever move of the na- tive politicians, who do not lack for shrewdness, ta break down the insistence of the Governor General «n certain principles in the con- duct of the Insular Government.

John‘ Hewitt is Commissioner of Police at Jesselton, British North Borneo, Peter Pennington is detail- ed by thd government to capture tha leader of The Yellow Seven, a gang of Chinese bandits. -Chai-Hung, in- fluential Chinese, is suspected by Pennington of being. leader of the gang. Pennington warhs Brabazon, a rubber planter of Ketatan, to beware of The Yellow Seven. Brabazon is an admirer of beautiful women and falls an easy victim to their charms. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY He was still standing in the same position when the boy came in with the lamp. Brabazon, squaring his broad shoulders, uncorked the bottle. He poured himself outa stiff tot. He was gazing’ at/an arrow, with a fine metal barb, its butt-end split to admit a long, narrow strip of pasteboard. On the side toward Bra- bazon was a bright yellow surface, ornamented with a series of black circles. He crossed the veranda and plucked the thing from the wood- work. The boy was slipping past him but the planter’s hand shot out and swung him round to face him. He held the symbol almost under the creature's nose. ‘e “What do you know of the Yellow Seven?” “Nothing, ' fearfully. Brabazon. stuck his legs wide apart and nodded his head se 1 times, a grim smile playing on his lips. “Bi-la,” he said presently. “Clear out!” Mindful of Pennington’s warning and with an uneasy feeling gripping his spine, he sent a watchman with an urgent note to Wallace—one of his juniors, requesting him to join him immediately—and be prepared to stop the night. While waiting for the return of the messenger, he scribbled a note to Pennington and enclosed with it the Yellow Seven, “Dear Penn..” he wrote. “I have | just received the enclosed per arrow- post. I’m not particylarly scared at thiggs I understand, but this has come as somewhat of a shock. Cheerio! G. Brabazon.” Wallace—a genial youth with sandy hair and freckled face—arriv- ed at the foot of the veranda steps at about nine, followed by a coolie carrying a long bamboo pole with a {basket of clothes suspended at one end and a pair of field-boots at the other. He was accompanied, more- over. by a large hound, short-haired and boisterous. “Evening, Brabazon! Don’t mind me bringing my dog, I hope? What's in the wind?” He dropped into a chair ‘and de- posited hat and stick on the floor. “Help yourself to a drink,” invited Brabazon, “To*tell you the truth. I'm glad you've trotted that name- less beast along. Some hungry Chinaman or other purloined my fox- terrier a week ago.” He released the glass stopper of a bottle of soda- water and handed it across ‘to Wal- lace. “You remember: the Allison affair, of course. assassination was ‘by no means an ordinary ‘act of whighway robbery, but the deliberately connived portion of an extensive campaign maneuver- ed by a secret society. I have very good reason to believe that an at- tempt is about to be made against myself, and that is precisely why I thought it advisable to send for you.” Wallace drew his chair closer and for more than an hour they sat talk- ing. ‘ Almost a week dragged on. Wallace—who was blessed with considerable inventive genius—sus- pended an ingenious burglar-alarm from the bushes that encircled the bungalow, a network of cotton and home-made bells that the dog suc- ceeded in agitating so often that they were compelled to tie him up!, , On the seventh day, Brabazon woke to find himself becoming scep- tical with regard to the whole affair. That afternoon, he sent Wallace back to his bungalow, dog and lug- gage and everything; and gave the watchman instructions to cease his nocturnal perambulations and hand in his rifle. He would have destroy- ed Wallace’s burglar-alarm if he had noticed it, but he didn’t, and at a few minutes after midnight, it rang! Swearing softly to himself, he took the hurricane lamp’and the revolver that recent occurrences had brougat to light, and went. out. The line of tinkling bells rang: for {a second time and he held the lamp well above his head, peering into the night. Suddenly he started back in amazement and quickened his steps in the direction of a crouching, trembling figure that shrank back from him as he approached. The hard lines of |his face., softened as he went, and presently he stooped and lifted:the slim form of a girl to her feet. She was simply clad, in a long- sleeved jacket of light-blue silk, bor- dered with black, and quaint trousers of the same material. It dawned upon Brabazon, as he surveyed her in wonderment, that she was of a class superior to that to which he was accustomed, that her skin was rather white’ than olive, and that she was possessed of a beauty had never imagined’ possib| girl.

For- gotten, in his wild eagerness for con- quest of this timid, fragile creature, lovely as the lotus-flower—were the immutable laws of east and west, the warning of Pennington, her very con- nection, in fact, with the bandit who controlled the dread movements of the Yellow Seven. Suey-Koo had stumbled into tha burglir-alarm that Wallace” had made, and yet it never occurred to Brabazon—secure in the fool’s para- dise that/his own frailty had built up-—that the unerring finger of the great Chai-Hung was behind all this, and that this seemingly helpless girl was but another of the astute Ori tal’s cunning instruments, instruc ed to decoy thé ‘planter to her fath- er’s lair! A girl in Kuala Lumpur had told Pennington that Brabazon was i sistible! Whatever the sign of Suey-Koo’s midnight mission have been, with the homeward jour- ney barely half completed, she found herself nestling contentedly within the Englishman’s encircling arm, for all the world as if that member had every right to be where it was, “Barbazon!” \ From somewhere behind him, the planter heard himself called by name T only want to He released the, girl and swung round. Standing in the open space be- tween the hutments that he had just left, he saw Wallace and the Pathan watchman, Brabazon waited until they had caught him up. = What is it, Wallace?” he demand- ed. “Look here, Brabazon, I’m sorry to butt in and all that, but isn’t this a trifle unwise? The area beyond our wire’s simply swarming with Chai-Hung’s men.” Brabazon started. “Who told you that?” “Pennington,” returned the assist. ant.. “I've just seen him. He told me to advise you to send the watchman with Miss Chai-Hung,” “Pennington!” Brabazon’: reeled. “How the devi! did he know?” He bit his lip. “I suppose he’s hanging around on one of his stunts. Of course Chai-Hung’s m6n are about. ‘They're looking for the girl. She’s lost.” J He faced Wallace defiantly. assistant dropped a hand on shoulder. “Don't go any farther—tonight.

In all this monotonous existencch of which he was fast growing tired, Suey-Koo was the brightest thing he had encountered, “You will come and see me?” she whispered presently. “Where cgn I find you—and when?” When Brabazon again joined Wal- lace, the latter noticed that. the cheeks of the manager were fished beneath the tan of years.
