All others\non board were suffering from the\nstrain of their four-day adventure, but\nhad Hot been Injured by the pirate**-.\nThe Tungchow, a coasting vessel\nof 2104 tons, owned by the Clibta\nNavigation company, had sai'.ed from\nShanghai for Tien Tsin. The pirates\nwere aboard, disguised as- steerage\npassengers.

There, while\nguns were still trained on the officers, and the foreign passcalers were\ncompelled to remain In their cabins,\nsmall boats came alongside nnd took\noff the loot. The pirates made their\ngetaway and permitted tho Tungchow\nto   steer   for   Hong   Kong.\nThe number of foreign passengers\nwas unusually large, because the railway line between Shanghai and the\nnorthern cities has been cut by the\ncivil war of the last several weeks\nand the sea route offers the only\nmeans of travel between tjie Yangtze\nnnd Tien Tain. Among the passengers were: II. G. W.

The top drawer had Hnen In It, and the next,\nblack silken garments that .crackled\nand smelt of camphor. The cape\nVepe in the bottom drawer. There\nwere dokens of them, all made on\nthe aame formal pattern, with rosettes of lace and net, and quillings\nof pale colored ribbon. Some had\nblue ribbon, and some pink, and\npome lavender. There was one with\ncherry-colored rosettes. As Sally\nturned them over. Miss Shaw's fluttering voice continued to remind\nher that the handkerchiefs were ln\nthe left-hand top drawer and on the\nright--hand   side   of   the   drawer.\nThe red lacquer case was wrapped\nln a fold of net white Inside the\ncap with the Cherry<--Goiored rosettes.\nSally unfolded the net with light,\nshaking fingers, and saw it. She held\nIt. She looked at It. There were\nthe three fishes and the six roses.\nIt was really the red lacquer case.\nShe held  It in hey hand.   -*\nWhat next-? Whare was _he to\ngo? Every second mattered now. Instantly, and before an answering\nthought could shape itself, there came\nthe sound of running feet. Someone coming up the stairs, running\nquickly and lightly, with the sound\nof  a   high   heel  tapping.\nSally spun round, the hand with\nthe lacquer case behind her. Miss\nShaw's eyes were round with, dismay, her puckered mouth opened\nwith  an  'Oh!' of frightened  breath.\nNo time to get away. No time\nto paw the stair head unseen. No\nchance al all really, but a desperate\none that must be taken. As these\nthoughts came, Sally had tfee dress-\ning-Vaom door open, was on the\nthreshold, her eyes- imploring those\nvague blue ones that watched her\nfrom  the  bed,\n\"Don't tell. They mustn't know,\"\nshe breathed, and closed the door\nwith her left hand. The right\nstill held the red lacquer case. She\nleaped against the shut door. The\nroom was In total darkness. She\nheard the running feet across the\nthreshold of Miss Shaw's room, and\nstood rigid, listening, listening. She\nheard Miss Shaw say \"Nadlne,\" and\nwaited for what would come next.\nThe footsteps came quickly .across\nthe room. Sally could not move a\nfinger. If Nadlne were to open the\ndoor, she would find her. She was\ncoming straight toward it. She was\ngoing to open It. 'Ah I' Sally took\na long, long breath. The footsteps\nstopped short. She heard the jerk\nof the bottom drawer; she heard It\ncatch aa it had caught just how\nwhen she herself had opened lt; and\nshe knew that Nadlne had come to\nget the lacquer case. And the case\nwas not fhere. It was here, In\nSally's hand. She could feal the\nlittle raised roses as she held it.\nShe thrust the case deep Into the\npocket of her coat. The drawer\ncreaked, there waa a swish of skirts,\nand   Nadlne's   voice   hard,   insistent.\n\"Who  has been  to this  drawer?\"\nOld Miss Shaw could see what\nSally could not see. She looked at\nNadlne with the red patch on either\ncheek, the biasing suspicion ln her\neyes, and she began to tremble and\nto whimper softly, taking little distressed breaths and fidgeting with\nthe  sheet.\n\"Who has been to this drawer?\"\ndemanded Nadine coming a quick\nstep nearer. \"Have you been out of\nbed? Have you been to the drawer?\nTell   me  at  once,   at   once!\"\nMiss Shaw began to cry. The\ntears rose singly and, overflowing,\nrolled down her smooth pink cheeks\none by one. She made no effort\nto  wipe  them  away.\n\"No, no, \u00a9h, dear me, no, no,\"\nwept Miss Shaw, and then, in a\npiteous voice, \"If you would give me\na pocket handkerchief, my dear.\nThey are In the left-hand top drawer, and on the right-hand side of\nthe drawer, marked with my Initial.\"\nNadlne raised her hand, took the\nold lady  by the BhoUIder, and said:\n\"Who\u2014has\u2014been here?\" She\nspoke low and furiously. Miss Shaw\nbroke  into  wailing sobs.        \/\n\"No, no, oh, no. Cfn, dear me, no,\"\nshe gasped, and Nadlne, suddenly\nreleasing her sprang for the door.\nShe left it wide open behind her.\nSally heard the sound of her flying\nfeet, the tap of the high-heeled shoes\nas she whirled downstairs. The canaries fluttered and twittered. Miss\nShaw wept on.\nThere was just this one minute,\nNadlne had gone to Lazare with\nthe news, and In a minute they\nwould be here again, skilled and des-\nperate searchers. Before Nadlne\nhad reached the stairhead Sally wan\nout of the dressing-room. She put\nher finger on her lips, ran to the\nfarther door, and passed like a flash\nfrom warmth and light, rose shades\nand fplnk wrenthed enrpet, into the\nvisible dusk of the passage, with it\ncold air, the walls which looked\nblack, and the narrow strip of crlm\n(>on felt which law on its polished\nboards  like a dark streak.\nAH the light there was came from\nthe Btgir-head on the left and from\nMiss Shaw's open door behind her.\nThe light from the stairs was no\nmore than twilight reflected from\nthe chandelier in the hall below.\nSally heard the dining-room door\nflung open, caught the blurred sound\nof voices, and ran on tiptoe as far us\nthe top of tha stairs. For one breathless moment she leaned over the\nsmooth rail, and wondered if It were\npossible. Just barely possible, to\nreach the half-way landing; but Immediately the vague noises from below rose in a sharp crescendo, o\nchair fell with a crash, and, even as\nSally drew back shuddering, the hall\nwas full of people and voice-.. On\nthe other side of the stair-head a\nsecond passage showed. She did\nnot know where it led to, but she\nran for the darkness tjad tije shelter, ran with her hands stretched out\nbefore her, groping along the wall,\nthe fingers of hor right hand slipping on the shiny wall paper.\nThere was a clatter of footsteps\nand a hum of voices behind her\ncoming nearer. Her hand touched\nwood, the jamb of a door. She felt\nfor the handle, turned it, and slipped\nInto a dark and unknown room. The\ndoor opened outward, the handle,\non the side nearest the stairs. Sails\nleft a crevice open, and stood there\nwith the dark all around her, looking\nthrough the narrow crack. She\ncould see the landing, vague in twi-\nof the stairs. Then, with startling\nsuddenness- the whole scene sprang\nInto light as Lazare depressed the\nelectric  twitch.\nHe stood on the\" top step, his\nhand raised and touching the wall,\nNadlne beside him, and Etta on the\nstep below. They were al! talking\nat once. Sascha and Le Noir w\u00abe\nnowhere to be seen. The passage\ninto which Miss Shaw's room opened\nwas now lighted from end to end.\nLa-tare stood for a second, his\neyes searching it. They dwelt upon\nthe door of Miss Harriet's room,\nand Sally thanked heaven that she\nhad remembered to fasten the bolts.\nThen the lifted hand dropped, Etta\npassed in front of Nadlne, and they\nall went along tho two yards of\npassage and through the open door\n-* iMlss Shaw's room.\n(Tp Be Continued.)\nCHALMERS PEN\nTAKES LEAD IN\nEGGJMTEST\nAncona Pen Within 3,3 of\nLeading One (or 48 Fewer\nEgg*   I \u2022\u2022'\u25a0.

In the\nUnited States all political institutions are founded on the\nprinciple of diffused responsibility. The people of a certain\nstreet get the permission of the\ncity to sell bonds for a local\nimprovement; the bonds are\nissued under the city's seal. But\nis the city obligated? Not in\nthe instances referred to, at\nany rate.\nFailing in every way attempted to get their money back, the\nunfortunate bondholders whose\nmoney supplied Spokane and\nother Washington cities with\nfacilities now threaten to use\nthe blacklist, and of course are\nat once classed as ogres.\nThis situation is one of the\nfruits of splitting up public responsibility into as many small\nunits as possible, of which examples are to be found at every\nturn in the American's system\nof government, under which\neven constables have to be elected. Thus we have the spectacle\nOf proud Washington cities\nbeing in enjoyment of facilities\nprovided by incurring of debt\nwhich is now repudiated.\nareas which have flourished for\na while and which, with the moving of the Industry, have disappeared entirely. I visited recently\nthe site of the former city of\nPhoenix, which I believe at one\ntime had a population of from\n12,000 to 16,000 people and where\nnow there is but one person living.\n\"The city rose according to the\nrequirements of the mining Industry ln that .district and disappeared when lt waa no longer\nneeded. We have had to face dlf-\nflritlties ln this respect ln many\nplaces In British Columbia, yet it\nIs a subject for congratulation\nthat up to the present no investor\nhas lost money -by Investment In\nBritish Columbia municipal bonds.\nWe havo hnd. It ls true, some\ncases of rtlf'irulty. Some of them\nhave been quickly adjusted:\nothers, we hope, aro on the way.\"\nMr. Baird mentions that\nmunicipal financing in British\nColumbia has at times been\nreckless and unwise, that some\nmunicipalities have issued their\nsecurities for too long terms,\nthat there has at times been\ncarelessness with sinking funds,\nbut with all this, the investor\nin municipal bonds has still\nbeen protected. On the whole\nthe mistakes of the past are not\nbeing repeated, and present-day\nmunicipal financing is on a\nsounder basis, with sinking\nfunds carefully set aside, and\nthe term of securities being\nwithin the lifetime of the facility acquired.\nKootenay Obligations\nInvariably Met     '\nand there waa a balance over\nat the time of disincorporation.\nThere remains Greenwood,\nwithout the. mines that made\nit a roaring smelter town, but\nwith the new mining camp of\nBeaverdell part of its trading\nterritory, and with a budding\nranching industry. Greenwood,\nits glory gone, is steadily working out its salvation. In 1921\nit had an issue maturing which\nit c4**ld not meet. Under the\nCitJ* of Greenwood Relief act\nof that year, an arrangement\nwas authorized whereby the debentures were declared to be\ndue and debenture holders were\nentitled to a pro rata distribution of all moneys available\nafter payment of the necessary\ncosts of administration, expenditures also being subject\nto the approval of a trustee\nnamed by the bondholders. Subject to the terms of its arrangement with the government,\nGreenwood selects its council\nannually, and carries on its administration. \"All interest is\nbeing paid and reductions are\nbeing made in the principal of\nthe debt.\"\nIf there should be no new\nmineral discoveries to \"bring\nback\" Greenwood and Phoenix,\nif the huge mineral output of\nthe Kootenay-Boundary country\ncontinues to be mined exclusively in other localities, the fluctuations of fortune are not\ngoing to be permittedHo injuri\nously affect those who loaned\nmoney for improvements to\nthese,,or any other, Kootenay-\nBoundary municipalities.\nThat Body\nof Yours\n111 Mr. Baird's list of British\nColumbia cities that have gone\nto the wall, or partly so, but\nwith protection to their securities, are three located in the\nKootenay-Boundary.\nPhoenix's reason for existence was one of the greatest\nmines of thet continent, which\nlater played ' out, and Greenwood was dependent on another\nimportant mine, also now of\nthe past, both utilizing low-\ngrade copper ores. Sandon, one\nof the successive \"mining capitals\" of the Kootenay, had to\nreduce in status when it ceased\nto be a capital, though producing as much wealth as ever.\nWith Trail and Kimberley up\nand coming and growing hourly,\nwith Nelson, Cranbrook, Fernie\nsolidly and well founded with\nevery capacity for growth, with\nRossland and Grand Forks successfully adapting themselves to\nnew conditions, all of them in\nan excellent position municipally, and with smaller points\ndeveloping municipally and industrially, the fact that three\nKootenay-Boundary points that\nhave had municipal charters\nhave had hard sledding has a\nmore than adequate offset.\nAnd   the   fact   remains   that I \"there   Is   no   Bhred   \u00ab(   evidence   to\n\u00ab~  _,,\u201e*\u201e;\u201e.,l   v.\u00bb-ju\u201eij\u201e-   \u201e\u201e\u201e,l . ! support   the  widespread opinion,  that\nno municipal bondholder needs wffc^llyi \u201ea unusually bright child\nla waak, undersized or nervously  unstable.\" , 1\nAnil   another   point   that   was   dla-\ncovereii    was    that    theBe    unusually\nBrains and Play\nIn the examination of the boys of\na reform school some time ago. I\nwas associated with a professor of\npsychology. He made the mental\ntests anid I examined the boya\nphysically. He found that the tint\njorlty of the boys were below normal\nmentally, even as I discovered that\nthey were below normal physically.\n1 attributed this principally to the\nlack of regular home training ln diet\nand rest, as at least 60 per cent of\nthe boya had parents who were Uvlng\napart.\nAnd now some research men at\nStanford university.

In a few years its! i\u00bb\nmunicipal debt of $10,000 was\npaid off. Reduced, in status,\nbut nevertheless tile hub of the\nrich Slocan mining territory,\nwith its surrounding hills yielding dividends, Sandon has a\nclean sheet, and many expect\nit to again join the list of cities.\nThough Phoenix was a deserted shell in 1921, and the\nlegislature then disincorporated\nit, its liabilities were all paid,\nbright i-hilren loved to play, and\nplayed to the same extent as other\nnormal children.\nNow. a youngster may start out\nwith a good brain, but If the body\nnt-eltH-tetl completely, he hasn't\nthe physical strength to carry htm\nfar. even II he had plenty of ambition, i\nIt in Ihe play instinct In the\nkitten, the puppy, the little bear, ln\nfact all young animals, that, gives\nthem growth, development und good\nhealth.\nlt ls, tberelore. most Interesting\nand gratifying to learn that the\nbright child, the genius of tomorrow,\ndoes not  loso hla  play  Instinct.\nAppellate court at Chicago decided\nthat Mrs, Bna Welch, former actress,\nv.as not th.- daughter of Alderman\nChart, s 1-'.
