His screams were suddenly cat short, and Jim, who had crr7pt out from the culvert and was peering over its top towards the Admiral Benbow, saw the Wind man, running madly back and forth across the road, leap head long Into the team of running horses and be trampled under their feet. Two men on horse back followed Dr. Livesey’s car riage and the Doctor cried to them: ".'tfter them, lads! Scout the thickets! Jim! Jim! Mrs. Haw kins!’’ Jim ran towards him, calling “Dr. Llvesey! Here we are!” Dr. Llvesey came to meet him, while Mrs. Hawkins scrambled out of the culvert. "Who ar? they? What happened, Jim?” he asked. “They wanted to kill the Cap tain—-but he dropped dead—just as you said he would. They w’ant- ed something in his sea-chest— Flint’s fist or something. . . 'This couldn’t be it, could it?” Jim held up the package wrapped in " The chart to Flint's treas ure/" cried Tre- lan'ney, trium phantly. with th« cautiQU.** -(^’’Bzaetly, sir!

I skull be as silent as the grave!” Thus began that great adven ture after burled treasure which took young Jim, Hawkins, Dr. Llvesey and Squire Trelawney far from their native land, to the very pirate-infested seas of the West Indies.,/The next chapter of that adventure took place In Bristol, whither Squire Trew- lawney, true to his word, betook himself the next day to engage a ship and a crew. Two weeks later the Squire met Jim Hawkins as be alighted from the coach and took him down to the docks which, with their multitude of shipping— sails, masts, church spires, great buildings, enormous numbers of people in fine clothes, fine coach es drawn by beautiful horses— kept the hoy from the Admiral Benbow in a maze of wonder and delight. But back of it all was his desire to see the ship on which he was so soon to embark. "There she lies! The good ship Hispaniola!” cried the Squire. "And a tighter craft never sail ed the seven seas!” Longshore men were busy carrying provis ions on board. As Jim and the Squire went up the gangplank, they were met by Gray and ano ther sailor. “Any word from those men I signed yesterday?” asked Trel awney. "No, sir, and Tom here has scoured the port—every grog shop and not a sign of ’em!’’ “Strange. This is the second instance of this idiocy!” Jim flew about the deck, ex amining everything that came his way, but came to a halt at the screech of a port gun. His boyishness came to the fore and he imagined himself in a battle. "Give ’em another broadside!" he shrilled. "All together now! One, two—’’ His voice suddenly died away, for there on the dock JighawpliM Ifew D^;’ Sayi America^ Are Losuig ineir bushes and on the very road which, in the culvert, he ;^and liiTliinthrr lay hidden. Then above the hubbub of I'lheir shouts , and curses, Jim f heard a welcome sound—the trotting of horses’ feet. The cut- roats heard it, too, for one of fm shouted: “’Vt'e’ll have to idge, mates!’’ “Budge, you skulk!’’ screamed V. "You have your hands on susands you squids, and y m hang a leg! You’d b* as rich as [kings if you find it, and you skulking!’’ Then Jim heard the voice of Livesey crying to his coach- oil-skin which he had carried with him in his flight. Dr. Livesey quickly unwrapp ed the parcel, reading something that looked like a map to Jim by the light of his carriage-lamp. When he spoke, looking up strangely at Jim, there was ex citement in his voice: “Jim . . . Jim, you may be a very lucky boy. Flint’s fist, they said . . . There’s only one Flint I know.’’ “Why, it’s nothing but a map!” cried Jim, looking at the paper in Dr. Livesey’s hand! “What are tho.se funny red cross- 666 -MALARIA ML - ~ ™ Liquid or Tablets Cliecks in Three Days.

Into the coach both of you! We’re going to Squire Trelaw- ney’s. Jim, my boy, you may have stumbled on the secret of the century!’’’ Mystified and sfill frlghtened% Jim and his mother remained quiet on that gallop to Squire Trelawney’s. Dr. Llvesey was closeted with the Squire. After several minutes they heard Tre- iaw’ney exclaim in evident excite ment: "It’s it! Sounds if it is it!’’ Then he and Dr. Livesey came into the room where Jim waited with Mrs. Hawkins. “You’re sure?’’ asked Dr. LiVe- sey. “The chart to Flint’s treas ure!” cried Trelawney, trium- j phantly. “The very island it’s buried on—l.rtltude and longi tude . . . Why, see, here’s the very block-house and stockade where the infamous pirate held off the attack and—” “Squire, you get so confound edly overheated!’’ laughed Dr. Llvesey in an excitement as keen as that of the Squire. “What do you propose to do?’’ "Do? Do? Why, bless me for a fat mole! We’ll go dig it up, won’t we, young Hawkins?” “But Squire,’’ said Dr. Llve sey, mastering somewhat his own excitement. “A moment now— we need a ship, a crew—” “Tomorrow, sir, I leave for Bristol,” interrupted Trelawney. "In two weeks I’ll have the best ship and choicest crew in Eng land! Then off for millions in gold! Money to roll in! To play duck and drake with!” “I’m with you, sir, but stay a bit,” broke in the Doctor. “This isn’t a holiday. Those cutthroats who attacked tonight will atop at nothing to get this chart.

I don’t tlinik it’s load ed,” gulped Jim, and turned with relief as the Squire came up. The one-legged man picked up his crutch and arose, touching his forelock, at sight of the Squire. “He ... he wanted to know if I was the Captain,” said Jim. “The Captain is on his way from Dover,” said Trelawney. “Anything I can do?’’ “Not presuming, sir,” said the man on the dock in sudden thought, “but as a favor from one seaman to another, so an old tar- can feel a sweet deck below him again, might I come aboard a spell?” “He!” cried the radiant Squire. ‘You’re welcome, of course!’’ “But, Squire—’’ said Jim, re membering the Captain’s fear of a one-legged man, but Trelawney hurried on: “This way, my friend! Any assistance?” He w-atched with astonishment the agility with which the man swung up the gang-plank. In a moment he was before them, touching bis forelock. “Silver’s the name, sir.

He refused to agree that "man is a pawn of the state” and saw in the trend of present American politics “a usurpation of the primary liberties of many by government. It is a vast shift from the American cencept of human rights, which even the government may not infringe, to those social philosophies where men are wholly subjective to the state.’’ The Republican leader warn ed Americans against following w’lll-o’-wlsps "which lead either or to political “Fo/ the first time Id emtioiu.'’ Ml Hoover with the primary isene of- manity and all gov hn- issue of human liberty.” Throughout his article, witht-- out mentioning it by name, Mr. Hoover stressed the tendency of the administration to follow the example of European dictator- ships. -i.i.’.vi if "When the boundaries of lib erty are overstepped,” Mr, Hoov- e r ' continued, “America will cease to he American It is now claimed that liberty baa failed; that emergency encroach ments u^n its principles should be made' permanent.” Mr. Hoover saw this as creat ing two issues: 1. “Whether we must submit to some other system by which the fundamentals of liberty are sacrificed. 2. “Whether, even if we make these sacrifices, we shall not de feat the hope and progress of humanity.” The former president viewed to the swamps of primitive greed liberty as "an endowment from 160j000 Trout Are Put In i..^W«sterB Cstroliiui WlHMM' RsMigh..
