IN A far-off province of India where men have time and are trained to think of possible villainy, Frank Lamson gave himself to evil thoughts. In this little hut on the frontier he was removed from the things he loved, from the men and women he called his kind, and from all example foT good. Here he was on the borderland, fact to face with the shadows and mysteries. He could not trust his own servant and he knew the very air to be filled with danger. So he played with his paper weight, turning It over and over, and made plans for reveng Ing himself upon a woman.s He had loved her once and always wonld. Now that he was gone It was easy to make himself believe that had he sta.ved~ln England she would have learned to care for him. There came the chance for a career, the opportunity for fame and the return In splendor. With her refusal In his ears and desperation In his heart he had set out, not knowing or caiing for the future Now he had time to think, time to regret hit haste, and time to plan to get even. Ellen had married. He had seen that in the papers some one had sent carefully marked lest the Item escape his eye. And she had married Tom Wllkerson! Lamson 'remembered easy going Wllkerson and hated him. He wrote to friends for more details, had all the papers sent to him. and waited his chance. One day he thought he saw the op portunlty. A friend, the only one who would have written so. advised the soldier that Wllkerson was in hard straits financially. "He has the reputation of being big hearted, as you may remember," the letter went on. "Some shrewd men who know that kindliness may be next to carelessness have him in a hole. Wllkerson woke np lust in time, climbed half way ont. but there he is sticking. I# I bad, say, two thousand pounds, I could break (he man. You know Tm In a competing line and that I know what I am talking about. But, I can't spare the change and. besides, he's your enemy, not mine. Just thought I wonld let you know that HI do the work If you'll furntsh the money." Lamson with his arms sprawled on the wooden table in his hut played with the paper weight and tried to summon from his slender resources of money or friends the possibility of ac- <ir'rlng two thousand pounds. He would have to mortgage his future, sell his few possessions, and borrow to raise this snm. No time could be lost Wllkerson was climbing out of the bole. Before long It would be too late to shove him hack. The man made a list of everything he owned and added the names of the friends who might be Induced to lend him money. Then he wrote them all diplomatic letters each suited to the recipient, letters asking money. Impatiently he awaited the replies and as he waited he toyed with the paper weight on his table. One after one the answers came and each be threw Into the basket with disgust. They were all sorry, but you know, one's money does not go far In , this country and ... It was the same. "They wont lend It to me, that's what they mean. They'd lend tt to Winslow, or Thorndyke . . .** He sat up late In the night, calling aloud for an inspiration thftt would lead him to money, money with which to ruin Ellen's husband. It was then that the fever rode into the window and touched him on the brow. The hut held a sick man. and delirium, and the news went the route of the runners. It was Thorndyke who came to help. When Thorndyke approached the hot he was met by a frightened native, who gave him to know that Lamson had driven the servants from the hut and had been raving and shouting Inside. The delirium which was an evil spirit had been more effective than the threats. The sick man was alone in his need. Thorndyke broke in the door and there was Lamson at his table, the paper weight in his hand. But Lamson was dead. The fever had halted his plans for revenge. "Poor fellow," said Thorndyke. ••And It was Just two months ago he asked me for a loan. Maybe, had I given it to him, be would have asked for leave and gone away where the fever would not have got him." Then Thorndyke's eye fell on the dull colored paper weyrfct He held It to the light, then secreted it care fully in his pocket UA sapphire!" he said, and he re membered the story of the lost one of Malik Kaffur. "It must be worth easily three thousand poundal And old Lamson never knew." -Overton & Cowen Buick Dealers West McHenry, Illinois Veterinarians in Demand Toung men seeking professions ar turning less and less to the veteri narian's calling, and JDr,., John R_ Moliler. chief of the federal bureau o' animal 'husbandry, which protects thnation's meat supply, among. otheT thj«;:s.

OUTDOOR RECREATION A NATIONAL RESOURCE Outdoor recreation has become a natural resource of America which must be judged on equal terms with lumber, power, metals and similar products in administration of the public domain, according to an article in the October number of Outdoor America, offocial publication of the Izaak Walton League of America. The article, written by Donald Hough, special writer for the maga-, zine, is in protest against the plan submitted to the government by private interests for use of the Superior National Forest, in northern Minnesota, for a series of giant overflow basins for power dams and water storage. The projected development, it is claimed, would wreck a recreation area of vital importance to the people of •the middle West. The Superior Forest is pictured as the last wilderness east of the Rockies, as a playground of national importance, situated within reach of 25,000,000 people. It is, according to Mr. Bough, "the juiciest plum dangling before the eyes of commercial exploiters today, and a battleground on which national issues for use of the public domain are being fought." Outdoor recreation, until recently considered a by-product, now outranks every other public use of some parts of the country, Mr. Hough claims. Seventy years ago, he points out in the article, the people had no use for the forests and streams other than as they could be developed commercially He says: "There was too much outdoors and not enough money, and the outdoors, converted into money, has built up America. Times have changed. Today there is too much money and not enough outdoors. The establishment of outdoor recreation as a major use of the public domain is based on this fact." The day of private domination of public domain is approaching an end, he declares, and points out that "the remnants of recreational territory within democratic striking distance of civilization are pitfully small, and the people have not the slghtest intention of letting these remnants get away from them." Avoid the Cyme tt you want to retain a wholesome •lew of life, if you want to hold your faith in mankind, If you want to have •adurlng peace of mind keep away from cynics. Should any such be among your acquaintance, give them a wide berth. They may be bright clever, entertaining people, Cynics often are. But they. are,, poisonous people.--CMcairo NVw« JOHNSBURG Mr. and Mrs. Mike Pitzen visited wit£ Mr. and Mrs. John Pitzen one day last week.
