To stay in this house another minute it is death! Now, I have said it! Mother of Mercy, save me!” SYNOPSIS. A criminal gano has marked Peter Champion, e millionaire, for death. His son is missing and the father fears he has been killed. Comdr. Drake Roscoe of the United States Navy tries to aid Champion. His friend, Dr. Stopford of the steamer Ruritania, shares the task. Threats of death come from all sides. Bverything is shrouded in mystery. Meyer, an aoent of the gang, is killed when he visits Champion, contrary to orders. THIRD INSTALLMENT.

MAY HIT POST OFFICE Poor Little Fellon’s Only Hope Is in Sheriff Then Because He’s Broke. BY WILL ROGERS. T had to do a little Yapping over the “Rodeo” the other night and as the hook up was principally over the mid- dle west States, and having been there recently, I knew that one of the prin- cipal things that was agitating the Na- tives was the “Chain Stores.” I know in my own State of Oklahoma that it has caused quite a furor. Well after the Broadcasting I got a lot of letters and Telegrams, lots of them from peo- ple that did not hear it, but wanted to know what it was. Well they asked me send it to them, so I just figure the best way to do would be to just use it. There wasent much to it, just a lot of junk, but it might interest you. It really however is quite a problem I can't and dident try to solve it. Thats what the Politicians are for. I only bring these subjects up and let them fix em. Any how here it is. I am working here for the Standard Oil of Indiana. In fact sooner or later we will all be working for em, or for-somebody else. For the day of the Guy working for himself is past. We are living in an age of “Mergers” and “Combines.” When your business is not doing good you combine with something and sell more stock. The poor little fellow, he cant combine with anything but the Sheriff in case he is going broke, which he generally is. But “Big Business” merges with another thats not going good and both do “nothing together.” But its one of the mental weaknesses of the American people that if two [E]| things go together they think it must be great. They dont know how it will be financially but they know that the stock will go up, and thats all Lhey think about. never mind the dividends. May Combine Anything. We used to think that it was only things of the same nature shat could combine, but now its liable to be the Pennsylvania Railrond and Mennens Borated Talcum Powder, nlu- Jl!

Then where is your little fellow holnl to be who has struggled along all these years trying to build up his Post Office? Here to fore he has only been troubled by the fact that the Democrats were liable to come in and dispossess him. But now the Chain Stores are liable to put him out of business quicker than the Dem- ocrats. They can put out their stamps and Post Cards by the millions, and they can_even lose money on stamps in some little town where people cant write much, but make it up in a town where people mail out & 10 or Slovian to the Movies and then get em back again and then mail em out again|Was to somebody else.

It was built in 1170 by Henry II as an “act of expiation” for the murder of Thomas a Backet and originally belonged to the Black Friars, ‘The abbey came into the hands of the Byron family in 1540, and the poet lived there at various times until 1818, when he sold the place for £92,000 to clear himself of debt.

Certainly they enjoyed dressing up as monks, and on one occasion ly'ron disinterred the skull from the cloister and had it mounted as a drinking cup.
