IS THE WORLD GROWING
HCTTMi?
Mv Patient Dears The reason 1 talk to
you so much nbout the liOOD our wonderful
club Is doing Is becauso I want J oil to
KNOW that the world IK growing better
and WI! are heiplng to make It so. If somo
one tells you lh.it ihe world Is growing
worse, nsK hlni to tell oii what III! Is doing
to uuil.0 this beautiful world of ours HUT
TIM Vol' are doing our part, cen when jou
only sign our pledge
An appeal appealed In our club news for
belli for a llt.lo boy. A great big man,
mom than sl feet, answered tho appeal,
and 1 went for the little boy. Tho Big Man
took thu Little Boy, bought him n dlniiei
and bought him clothes from head to foot,
and then I tool, the Little Boy home
I shall tieer forget tho scene when we
entered the ONE loom whero Mm little bo s
parents wero huddled about a plate.
THEY COULD NOT SPEAK FOB, JOV.
The big man did not know me. He did
not even know the llttlo hoy's name He
called hlni by a name ho Invented.
Oh, denr Lhlldrrii ! Learn early In life
that It Is thoso wo do for and not those who
do for us whom we love.
Tell this story whero er you hear that
tho world Is not growing better; tell It
whenever somo one bttys that Ihero Is no
ono who will do a kindness without hope of
rewnru
And now leincmbcr this: The aim nf
our kindness is to HELP OTHERS TO
HELP THEMSELVES. We . could raise
thousands of dollars, BUT what good would
that do?
"Though I speak with the tongues of men
and angels nnd have not LOVE, I nm be
como ns a bounding brnss or a tinkling
cymbal "
Faith, hope and I.OVI3. but the greatest
of these Is LOVE.
Always lotlngly.

HILLY RUMPUS'S HUG STORY
By Farmer Smith
"Isn't It funny how much ou lenm when
you tell stories to children'" asked Billy
Bumpus of his good wlfo ono night.
"Yes," replied Mrs. Bumpus. 'Some
times r think wa nie talking to our.seltes
the most eten when wo tall: to others."
"And wo aro often telling things we
not or know before," said Billy, ns 1m went
upstairs, after kissing Ills wife. Nannie
(loat was waiting for her story as her
father sat down beside her bed.
"Did tho Potato Bug children attend the
Lady Bug's party?" asked Nnnnle.
"Certainly." replied her father. "Vnu
remember tho Potato Bug family had to
leate their home because Frank, the hired
man nt tho farmhouse, was coming after all
the bugs to destroy them But Faith Po
tato Bug was taken sick the tery next day
becaiibo sho ate too much cako at tho Lady
Bug's party.
" 'rs Potato Bug w.sh awakened In the
mil ale of the night by Fnllh, who was cry
ing. 'What Is the matter, my dear child?'
asked Mrs Potato Bug She felt of tho little
ono's head and found it ery hot.
"'What shall wo do?' she asked of .Mr.
Potato Bug, who was wide awake by that
time.
" 'We must send for Doctor Beetle ns soon
as wo can,' said her husband. 'I'll get right
up and go myself.' So .Mr. Potnlo Bug got
out of his bed and hastened oft to Doctor
Beetle's,
'"I am sorry to disturb jou. my dear,
good doctor, but our little Faith has a
high fever and you must come at once '
"The old Doctor hustled out of boil nmi
put on his glasses and took his medicine
case with him. T will not wait to get my
carriage hitched up,' he said, 'but will come
along"
".Mr. Potato Bug and the doctor arrived
at the Lady Bug's, and they both scraped
their feet on tho mat In front of the door
"Going In, the doctor found Faith lying
on a little bed made out of a cotton ball.
Holding her hand and counting, he looked
very grave. He said, 'Her pulse Is very
high and she has some feter.'
"Opening his medicine case, he took out
a tiny piece of apple and divided it Into
three pieces. 'Give her one of these every
two hours,' he said, 'and then I want you
to put her feet In some mud and keep her
ery quiet. She will be all well tomorrow'
So they did as he said, and as he was about
to go the Lady Bug came In to see If she
could do anything.
" 'I had to come In and see you,' she said
to Doctor Beetle, with her sweetest smile "
Billy Bumpus would have gone on, but
Nannie was fast asleep.

innuded, w at lug his pistol-hand toward tho
causeway and the fortitled gates "I can't
risk leaving It here. Come, father, speak
to them! It's got lo go Into Ihe tillage right
now!"
Then Knnirou's messenger, grasping the
sense If not the words of the command,
strode forward a tall, liibo llguro of a
man, well-knit and hard to face. Under
tbe torchlight tho dilated pupils of his
plnklslt, eyes seemed to shlno as phos
phorescent as a cut's.
Crying out fcomothlng unintelligible to
Stern, he blocked tho way. Stern heard the
name "Knmrou 1 Kamrou !"
"Well, what do you want now?" ehouted
the engineer, a huge and sudden anger
seizing him. Already super-excited by tho
labors of the day and by the nervous strain
of having recovered the sunken biplane, all
this talk of Kamrou, all this persistent
opposition juat at the moat inauspicious
moment worked powerfully upon hl Ir
ritated nerves.
Cool reason would have dictated
diplomacy, parley, and. If possible, truce.
But Stern could not believe the Folk, for
so long apparently loyal to him and dom
inated by his Influence, could work against
their vital Interest and his own by desert
ing him now
And, all his saner judgment failing him,
heeding nothing of the patriarch's entreaties
or of the girl's remonstrance as she taught
his arm and tried to laid him back, he
faced this coolly insolent barbarian.
"You, damn you, what d'jou want"" be
cried again, his finger Itching on the trigger
of the automatic. "Think I'm going to tput
for you, or Kamrou, or anybody.' Quit,
now 7
"Think a cltllized white man, sweating
his heart out to savo your people here, Is
going to knuckle under, to any savage that
happens to blow In and( try to boas this
job? If so, you've got another guess
coming! Stand back, you, or you'll get cold
lead In just one minute."
Quick words passed from the old man to
tbe messenger and back again. The a
trlarch cried again to him, and for a mo
ment Stern saw the barbarian's eye flicker
uneasily toward the retolvcr. Hut the calm
and cruel face never changed, nor did the
Basge take one step backward.
"All right, then!" shouted Stern, "seeing
red" In his overpowering rage, "jrou want
it you'll get It take It. so)"
Up he jerked tVe automatic, fair at the
big barbarian's heart a Bplendld target
by the torchlight, not ten feet distant;
a sure shot.
But before he could pull trigger the
strange two-pronged torch was tossed on
high by somebody behind the mesaanger,
and through the dull and foggy gloom a
wild. Beroe, peneiraoi cry wa.ua piercingly.
Came a shooting, numbing pain 1a Stern's

aior.
Still strltjltig to light, bound as ho was,
he felt a rtteat foico driting him along
on, on, up tho beach nnd toward the Il
ia ge.
Mute, despernto, stark mad. bo Knew the
Tolli were half-carrying, half-dragging blin
up tho cuusotvny.
Ah lu a dark dream, ho vnguely saw the
great fortified galo with Its huge, torch
llghtcd monolithic lintel. liven upon this
sumo of the Kolk wero crottited now to
watch tho strango, I credlbbi npcctncln of
the man ttho had unco tinned tho tide of
battlo ng.ilni.t tho Liusl.anru and had
sated nil their lltcs. now haled like a crim
inal back Into tho community ho had res
cind lu Its hour of sorcbt need.
Ills mind leaped fo their, first entry Into
tho illhue II seemed months ago nlso ns
prlboncrs. In n flash he recalled all that
had happened biucu and bitterly ho mocked
himself for bating dared to dream thai
their tnlluence had leally altered these
strange, batbaious souls, or uplifted them,
or taught them nu thing at all.
"Now, now just ns the rescue of these
people wus at hand, just as tho machine
might bate cniried us and them back Into
tho world, slowly, one by one now comes
defeat and death !"
An exteedlns great bltternees filled his
loul once more nt this harsh, cynlo turn
iC fate. Hut most of all he earned toward
lleatrlco. That ho should die mattered
nothing, but the thought of this girl per
ishing nt their hands there In tha lost
Abtss was ilri-udtul as tho pangs of all
the fabled bells
Again he fought to bold back, to try for
some sight, at en a Heeling glimpse of Bea
trice ; but the Folk with harsh cries drove
him roughly forward.
He could not even see the patriarch. All
was confusion, glare, smoke, noise, as ha
was thrust through tha fortified gate out
Into the thronged plaza.
And through all bis rage and bitter baf
flement and pain a sudden great desire
welled up In him to see this chief of the
Folk, at last to lay eyes on this for
midable, this terrible one to stand face
to face with him In whose hand now lay
etery thing. Kamrou!
Across, the dtm-fog-cotered expanse of
the plaza ho saw tho blue-green shimmer
of tha grout flame
Thither, toward that strange, eternal
fire and the ghastly circle of the head
leas ke!etous the l'olk were drifting now.
Thither his captors wero dragging him.
And there, he knew, Kamrou awaited
Beatrice and him. There doom was to
bo dealt out to them Theie. and at once!
On, on the Folk bore Mm All at once
he saw again that two-pronged torch
raised before him going ahead; and a
way cleared through Ihe press.
Along this way he was carried, no
longer struggling, but eager now to know
the end, to meet It brately and with calm
philosophy, "as tits a man "
And quite at once he found himself In
sight of the many dangling skeletons
Now the quivering jet of flame grew
visible .Now, suddenly, he was thrust
forward Into a smooth and open space.
Silence fell
Before him he saw Kamrou, Kamrou the
Terrible, at last.
CIIAPTHK XXXVI
tlage of Ilutlle
THE chief of the People of the Abyss
was seated at bis ease In a large stone
chair, oter which heavy layers of weed
fabric had been thrown. He was flanked
on either side by spearsmen and by
drummers, who still held their Iron sticks
poised above their copper drums with
shark-skin beads.
Stern saw at a glance that he was a
man well over six feet tall, with whip-
cord rrfusclis and n, keen, eager, domi
neering nlr I nlfke any of the other
Folk his hair (snow-white) was not
twisted Into n fantastic knot and fastened
with gold pins, but hung loose nnd was
cut square, off nt nbout tho level of his
shoulders, forming a tremendous, bristly
mass that reminded one of a lion's mane.
Across his left temple, nhd Involving
his left eye with a ghastly mutilation, ran
a long. Jnggcd, bright red scar, that stood
out It Idly against tho milk-white skin
In bis hands he held no mnce, no symbol
of power; they rested loosely on his pow
erful knees , nnd In their half-crooked
fingers large and long, Stern knew there
ln a formidable, an all but Irresistible
strength
At sight of the captltes for Beatrice,
too. now suddenly appeared, thrust for
ward through another lane among the
l'olk -Kamroti's keenly cruel face grow
hard His lips curled with n sneer of

And welt he knew that If both he nlid

Hut the chief's gnzo was now fixed In
fnlently upon Beatrice. She, as she stood
ihero, stripped eten of her rctnltcr and
inrtrtdgo belt, hands bound behind her,
hair dlslietelcd, had cnught tils barbarous
