A Strange Message"
Adapted by Herbert Crooker, from the photoplay serial, "White
Eagle." Original story by Vsl CievelaBd.
i Dirislon of relief distributed by
1 the Rock. Island Welfare associa-
tion and Rock Island county was
i practically agreed upon at a meet
ing of officiala of the association
and the county yesterday. Another
meeting will be held soon to fix
5-details. of the distribution of aid
j to poor families.
V; Theplan which wfll probably be
f Instituted Is similar to that which
i MOltne has adopted, and provides
that the welfare association dis
' tribute all food, for which it will
be-' reimbursed by the county in
t cases where it gives groceries to
county patients; the county is to
"issue all orders for coal and rent
which are to be given to county
dependents, and the welfare -asso-
elation - will be in charge of all
emergency cases, tiding over the
T period of depraaaioa Utoaa who are
unemployed.
?; Members of the poor claims com
''mittee' of the county board of su
Jf pervisors who are making the
agreement with the welfare associ
ation are L. K. Eihl, W. S. Pate.
..Ben C. Benson, Zach Einfeldt, Wil
liam Eftlandt and J. A. Schaible.
s The new plan will be put in ef
feet at the close of the quarter, at
.which time the present bills will
be approved and the new method
launched. It is expected that the
V arrangement will be followed with
: In the next two weeks.
To Avoid Overlapping.
y Under the present system there
f are cases of overlapping, it is
claimed. Both this, and the addi-
tional expense which accrues by
I- having the county issue grocery orders-
on the proper grocer instead
of the welfare association, where
food is bought at wholesale prices,
. led to the meeting yesterday. By
, this means, the county expense will
.' be lessened and the work distrib
uted without any cause for over
lapping. J. PATRIOTS GIVE

-"; Washington became what he
was and is, not because he was a
- brilliant man," declared Rev. R.
Wilbur Babcock at the Lincoln--i
Washington memorial program in
Moline Tuesday evening. "It has been
characteristic of America's great
that they have been average men,
plus certain sterling qualities which
make for success. These qualities
. Washington possessed."
f The speaker stated that Washing
, ton's greatness was due to the
fact that he made his patriotism a
' personal thing and that he depend
ed upon a higher power for great
.' ness. -

:in the Revolution," he said. "He
was a rich man and could easily
;have bought his way out, but he
preferred to share the struggle with
'his feltows.
"Nor did he look to himself for
strength. See him in prayer at
Valley Forge, realize his innate
' and genuine piety," and see the
' qualities which made him and all
. other great Americans successful."
The program was opened by the
blowing of assembly by Scouts Rod-
ney Jahns and Loren Perry. The
. audience sang "America," led by
' Miss Marie Heinemann. Rev. O. B,
rEnselman offered prayer.
ft Next was a community sing, led
"by' Miss Heinemann. After this
Miss Heineman sang the "Song of
a Thousand Years. Girl Scouts,
under the direction of Miss Beatrice
Campbell, recited their pledge of
allegiance and sang "The Star

The Daughters of Veterans tab

CHAPTER III.
, Phil Stanton rode wearily back
to the ranch house, unable to dis
miss thoughts of Ruth from hin
mind. It was astonishing, he
thougLt, how deeply he had come
to care for the girl in their short
acquaintance. Stanton had prided
himself upon the fact that he was
immune from affaira of the heart,
and now he found himself deep in
love. And the sensation pleased
him. But how would he see her
again? H would have to go to
San Francisco. But what would he
tell his" partner. Jim Loomis? He
laughed to himself. What did he
care what anybody" thougrt!
Wasnt he in love?
He took his horse to the stable,
and then he remembered about the
stran-behavior of Bill Henley.
He looked around for the man, in
tending to get an explanation, but
Henley waa nowhere about. He
mounted his horse and rode about
the ranch, hoping to find him. Fin
ally he galloped back to the ranch
intending to see Henley later. He
entered the house and called for
Loomis, but he, too, was not to be
found. As he walked out pn the
porch he could hardly believe his
eyes. There was Ruth Randolph
running toward him. .
"Phil!" she shouted, and rushed
into his arms.
"My darling!" he whispered. Wis
ing her, and wondering how this
wonderful moment had really hap
pened. Soon thoy recovered from thair
embarrassment and Ruth explained
how she happened to return. The
episode with Henley on the rear of
the train brought . deep anger to
Phil, but when Ruth told of her
escape he was thrown into deeper
mystery.
"We came to a bend in the road
where the train ran alongside a
high bank, almost on a level with
the train. Henley was slowly ap
proaching me, and I decided to
jump. I landed safely on the bank,
and Henley was about to follow,
when the mysterious horseman in
white galloped up, drew me up in
his saddle and dashed back here to
the ranch with me."
"But who is this horseman?"
asked Phil, "and where did he go?"
"I don't know who he is," an
swered the girl. "As soon as he
dropped me from the saddle, he
turned and disappeared in a cloud
of dust. I .was so glad to get back
I didn't watch to see which way he
went."
At that moment the young cou
ple were startled to have a small
sized rock come hurtling through
the open window to the floor be
side them.' There was a note at
tached. Ruth picked it up and
readr
Do not try to leave this re
gion without the Indians' con
sent. Any attempt to escape
will endanger the lire of the
man you love.
"What does it mean?" asked the
girl.
"I am interested only in the last
sentence," smiled Phil. "Oh, Ruth,
I love you, you must know it by
this time. I love you so much, and
I don't want you to leave me."
"The last sentence is true,
Phil," whispered the girl. "I think
I have loved you since the time you
saved me from those ruffians in
San Francisco." Their lips met in
a long kiss of understanding.
A few moments later, Ruth dis
missed her lover and went upstairs
to her room to change her riding
habit. A knock at the door caused
her to pause for a moment- She
opened it and an old Indian wom
an. Stone Ear, appeared. The
squaw was evidently deaf and
dumb, for she endeavored to con
vey her thoughts by signs. She
handed the girl a package and dis
appeared down the hall as quickly
as she had come. Ruth, mystified,
opened the package and found a
metal box, containing a piece of
parchment upon which were the
words:
To my daughter, Ruth:
Under the law of the Canyon
Indians,' you are their chief
tainess and rightful ruler. Go
with them to the Golden Can
yon and there find the Wampum
Belt under the stone with the
Trident. This belt will make
you immune from danger. It
also contains a secret message
that will free you from the In
dians. Tour loving father.
The note only made Ruth won
der more at the series of surpris
ing events which had followed hef
arrival at San Mario. That night
she told Loomis she was ready to
go with him to the Wigwam, mnch
to his surprise and Phil's.
The next day at the Wigwam,
Gray Wolf was triumphantly ad
dressing his councillors. "The
white Chieftainess is coming here
with Loomis," he told them, "and
this time she must go with us to
tho Golden Canyon." That Phil's
partner was allied with Gray Wolf
for some unknown reason was be
coming very apparent. Conse
quently, when Ruth Randolph sent
word that she was willing to be
come Chieftainess of the Canyon
Indians, extreme surprise waa felt
by eresy character "in our drama.
A week later the entire party
arrived at the entrance of the
Golden Canyon. The spot was well
fortified and defied attack. A great,
pivoted rock blocked the way for
invaders and could only be opened
by the .Indian guards on the inside.
Gray Wolf left the party on the
outside while he entered to pre
pare the festivities for the welcome
of the Princess White Eagle.
A few moments later the rock
swung back, and Crouching Mole
appeared, and told the gfrl to enter.
She was astonished at the pic
turesque sight which greeted her
eyes. The entire canyon was deco
rated with strange Indian signs
and characters, and the braves
themselves were decked in full
war regalia, with bizarre head
dresses and grotesque facial adorn
ments. Phil, much to his chagrin,
waa left on the outside, but he de
termined to remain in the vicinity
so as to be near the girl should she
need assistance of any kind.
Rnth was bedecked by Gray
Wolf with an elaborate, white In
dian overgarment; and after placing
some sacred beads about her neck,
the chief held up his hand for
silence. . "
"I proclaim Rnth Randolph our
white chieftainess," he announced
in a loud voice, "the Great Spirit
has willed it so." Then the weird
festivities began. , As they got well
under way. Gray Wolf drew Ruth
aside 5tell her the tradition of the
Golden Pool.
"Our tribe,' he explained "is
made up of two clans the Buf
faloes and the Blue Hawks. Our
law demands that you, our Chief
tainess, shall decide which clan
Washing Won't Rid
Head Of Dandruff
shall own the Golden Foot Ton
must decide one moon hence and ac
cording to your Judgment," the
Golden Pool will become either the
property of the Buffaloes or the
of the Blue Hawks and I pray you
Bine Hawks. I myself am the chief
to decide in favor of my clan."
At that moment another Indian,
handsome as a Greek god., stepped
forward. There was a hint of hatrod
In Gray Wolf's eyes as he said to
the girl, "This is Standing Bear,
chief of the Buffaloes."
Standing Bear bowed to the girl
and then faced the assemblage.
"Men of the Canyon 'tribes," he
said, "during the time in which the
Princess White Eagle dwells among
us, she will be under, my protection.
Woe to him who heeds not this
warning!" Standing Bear then took
Ruth aside- and warned her of the
treachery of Gray Wolf. He hinted
at many things that Gray Wolf
was responsible for the death of
her father. The girl was deeply
impressed with the sincerity of the
Indian here, at least, was one she
could trust.
Meanwhile, Gray Wolf was in con
sultation with Crouching Mole. The
latter had told him of the conver
sation between Standing Bear and
the girl. Gray Wolf was furious.
He saw hopes for his clan to. pos
sess the Golden . Pool " slipping
through his fingers. But the crafty
ally informed him that the Pool
would be equally divided , between
the trjbes, should any accident be
fall Ruth. Gray Wolf smiled his
approval.
That night Ruth decided to in
vestigate the Golden Pool and find
the Wampum Belt which was
spoken of in her father's letter. As
she approached the spot she saw
four Indian horsemen Steadily
circling around it, guarding the
seething, bubbling molten gold. As
Ruth drew near to the Trident mon
ument,, the four horsemen watched
her curiously. She stood in front
of the monument, trying to find
the particular stone mentioned in
the parchment. Finally she dis-
The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about fonr ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff
will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no mat
ter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and
soft, and look and feel a hundred
times better. ,
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work. (Adv.)
