QAA n n n ^ r e e a r ' y , 0 ( , a y 800,000 story business blocks, including the Masonic temple, was promis-ed tonight by Sheriff William Franch. The investigation will be made in con junc t ion wi th the state fire marshal ' s office.

Although re luctant to announce the angle f rom which he wil l di-rect his p robe of the fire, wh ich caused a loss estimated at $200,-000, Sheriff F ranch asserted that he would sift repor ts tha t an ex-plosion preceded the lire.

Discovered by Baker . The Are was discovered by Er -

nest Giddie, employe of the Win-an bakery. An a l leyway separ-ates the bakery and the Qhaffee building, one of the two destroy-ed. Giddie told F i r e Chief Les-lie N. Murphy that he s aw flames shooting f rom small round win-dows in the alley side of the Chaffee building.

Giddie summoned the fire de-par tment and within 15 minutes the firemen had checked the flames wh ich crept along the east wall ih to the store of the Miracle company. The firemen were about to leave when the th i rd floor burs t into flames.

Windows were broken by rifle shots to allow firemen to play three s t reams of wa te r on the top floor. The roof soon collapsed, permit t ing the flames to assume spectacular propor t ions and could be seen for miles. k

Insurance Covers Loss. The second and th i rd floors of

both buildings contained club and lodge rooms of t h e six b ranches of Masonry. Slowly the flames ate their w a y down-ward f rom the th i rd floor and a f -

, ter gutt ing the two uppe r floors, began creeping into the Fox Eudding to the west .

Damage to the Knit t ing Mills propert ies is confined chiefly to water and smoke, whi le the Ma-sonic Temple association, wh ich remodeled the upper floor into one of the most modern f r a t e rna l homes in western Michigan, wil l nrobably sustain the b run t of the loss. Equipment , cha r t e r s and records of ail six branches of the order w e r e lost.

Insurance is expected to offset the f ra te rn i ty ' s loss, according to Thane Benedict, secretary . It also i s thought other losses in-volved were covered by in-demnity. The Chaffee building is owned by the M. H. Chaffee company, of Grand Rapids, whi le the Fox building, built by James H. Fox at the t ime the tem-ple w a s reconstructed, is unde r the ownersh ip of Charles F. Hun-ter, of Traverse City.—(Grand Rapids Herald.

LOWELL DEFEATS GODWIN 11-8.

Lowell has won the last two ernes of basketball and is n o w the race for county honors .

T w o weeks ago a well-played game at Rockford the Locals edged out a v ic tory by a slim marg in of 18-16.

Last Fr iday Godwin Heights came to town minus one of the i r s tar players and held Coach F inch ' s outfit t o a t h ree point lead. The fans w e r e subjected to cases of hear t fa i lure and they never fel t secure un t i l t h e whis-t le h a d b lown ending hostili t ies. Thus f a r th is season Lowell has been bumped once and that was b y o n e point at Eas t Grand Rap-ids. All o ther county teams ex-cept Sparta have also met wi th disaster at East once. The Spar-tans played here Tuesday .

heal th officer and w i t h the local doctors and w e have the fol low-ing information and suggestions to offer.

There is no reason to become unduly alarmed. At present there are but two cases in Lowell a n d very few cases in the ru ra l distr icts. It is recommended^ however , that every precaut ion be taken. It is recommended that parents keep chi ldren at home who show a n y sign of ill-ness. The signs and symptoms of scarlet fever a r e : sore throat , headache, fever, rash or a skin erupt ion. If your child shows any of these signs we would ad-vise that you call your family doctor. At school w e are watch-ing for these symptoms, and if we send your child home please remember that w e are doing th is fo r the common good of all . A child who is kept at home o r who is sent home should b e care-fully watched for 24 or 48 hours . If a child has been exposed h e should remain at home f rom two to seven days.

We want you to know that w e a re taking every precaut ion in school, and tha t we are acting on the advice of the local health officer and of the local doctors. Yours very t ruly,

W. W. Gumser. Superintendent .

and was baptised and confirmed at the Lutheran church there.

She came with her parents to lA)well in 1918, and was marf ied to Ralph K. Hughes in the Con-{ gregational church al Lowell on January 1, 1920.

Three chi ldren were born, John, age 9, Margaret Jane, age, 3, and William Wilbur, w h o died a year and a half ago at the age of one month .

It bore a sign which said '4Your penny will be returned if you make the dial go all the way around."

"Nellie!" he shouted, "tell me his name—the man you love!"

Nellie blushed beautifully. "His name is Rat t ie r J im now," she whispered.

JANE BROWN'S slender fingers lay Idly on the keys of her type-

A mood of despair had gripped her ever since Bert Lowden, sport-Hy garbed for oue of his gay, Long Island week-ends, hud dropped R casual pat on her shoulder nnd u pile of le t ters on her desk and had gone whistl ing on his way.

Yet Bert had been ra ther delib-erately nice to her ever since she had come Into bis fa ther ' s offlce.

"I am sure," she thought, " that If Bert and I could meet In some other environment than tha t of business, I could make him—well, ca re for me. He looks on me a s Just plain J a n e Brown—bis f a the r ' s typist."

J a n e had seen a sweet-faced elderly woman walking up and down the paths on fleveral occa-sions—bad even exchanged a smile and nod with Iter. That fact , coupled with J ane ' s great desire, led her to contemplate asking of the sweet-faced woman an odd if not very t remendous favor.

Consequently, tha t evening a f t e r supper she went bravely next door nnd rang the bell.

She bad rehearsed carefully just what she was going to say, but f o r a moment, she completely for-got It when the whi te door with Ita bronze knocker was swung wide by a tall young man.

Still It was less embarrass ing to say what she had come to say than to s tand there indeflnltely saying nothing at a l i i

"I—I am your next-door neigh-bor, J a n e Brown, and I want to ask you an awful ly big favor. Could I —that Is. would you lend me your garden for a very few minutes some evening?"

The young mnn. If he was sur-prised a t the request , gave no In-dication of It.

"I don't know any reason why not. Miss Brown." he said cordially. "Any evening o r every evening, nnd for as long as you like. And won't you come In and see my mother?"

But J ane ' s one thought was to get back home. Why had sbe ever been so brazen? She said, "No. thank you." and "Good-by," and made her escape.

J a n e Imd happy dreams that night. She had acquired her set-ting, t he lovely garden. She had a dis t ract ing new yellow organdie to wear t ha t was most becoming to her dark hair and darker eyes. All she needed was to Inveigle Bert Into coming to call.

Bert himself provided the oppor-tunity. For the first t ime lie In-vited her to go to lunch.

Over the dessert she told him where she lived while something

Let 's find a nook by a tinkling brook And stop there—just you and I;

Let 's live again f o r a little while In the Land of Used-To-Be,

And I'll paint memories fo r you While you weave dreams for me.

I l l paint such beautiful memories Of the days when we were young.

Of things we said to each other then. And the songs that then were sung;

And you can weave all the golden dreams TTiat will set our hearts aglow;

Then, hand In hand, wel l search again For the Joys we used to knowl

It camc to J a n e suddenly that Bert was not coming.

She caught her breath In a little sob, and at lha t Instant somebody said, "Oh, 1 beg your pardon—"

It wns the young man who owned the garden. He had come down the pa th unconscious of her pres-ence until his at tention was at tract-ed by the tiny gasp.

J a n e got to her feet. Thei r eyes met above the flame of the match with which be was lighting his cigaret te .

T H E S P E C I E S WAS NOT YET

EXTINCT

BY WAY of a beginning. It Is In-enmbent to me to explain that

the negroes of the coast of South Carolina and Georgia have a dis-tinctive patois which differs radi-cally from the speech of members of their own race up country. "fJul-lah talk." as It Is called, has but one gender—the masculine. Every-thing—a man. a woman, a bull, a cow—Is "he." "Where" Is "w'ar,'" " though" Is "<lo," etc., etc.

With this hit of Information. may proceed. An Englishman, de-sirous of killing some big game during his visit to America, i'"-cepted an Invitation to visit a plan-tation owner nn one of the sea In-lands lying below Charleston. In honor of the visitor a deer drive was arranged. The Britisher, chap-eroned hy an old negro man, was asslcned lo a "s tand" on one of the best "runs." Beforehand he had been told to shoot only at buckn, as the does and the fawns enjoyed protection.

Presently, to the ears of tl-nervous Kngllshman where he crouched with his black companion in a thicket, came the sound of th" hounds' haying. The (iocs had found a f iesh scent. They were drawing nearer and nearer.

Fif ty yards away, across an open glade, a dart ing patch of tawny brown showed In the undergrowth. The Englishman flred. and a convul-sive thumping In the underbrush told him he had not missed.

The old negro lef: his covert and ran forward to see what It was that had been shot.

"Did I kill him?" callcd the ex cited amateur .

"Yeah, boss. Von kill ,lm.H an swered the darky, as he bent over the stricken game. Then, seeing tha t the fallen animal had no horns he added. *' 'E a doe, do'."

At this moment the host hurried up the trail, having heard the shot f rom his place of ambush a hun-dred yards or so away.

"Any luck?" he called out as he approached.

"Oh, yes," answered the Britisher, exultantly. "I thought 1 saw a deer nnd dropped It, but your black fellow yonder has Just told me t ha t It Is a dodo—a crea ture which I thought was entirely ex t inc t Lncky, eh, what?"

"I'm sure that clothes don't ." said Peggy. "Look at Slippery Sam, all dressed up. The minute 1 saw him I knew I detesied him."

"You did me, too, didn't you?" asked Leigh.

"Yes, until—'' "Until ," he prompted. But she told him tha t later.

You'll never n , you can."

Joshua Ingiepin's features con-torted spnsmodiculiy. with such a congestion of blood tha t Fellowes wondered if he ought to loosen the man's stock. But Joshua waved him away.

"I'm—ail right." Passion tiirobbed In the merchant 's voice. "Damme. Governor, who should bring my brother to Justice, if not I? Isn't he a repcoach lo my name?"

"Yet, a f t e r ail. your brother." the governor reminded him. "And there Is the young lady. I fear, gentle-men. If the afTair Is as black as 'tis painted—"

Josiiun Inglepin fairly shouted at Fellowes:

"Well, Captain, what have we lo say to tha t? Shall we shrink from our task bee..use a woman is con cerned with it?"

Fellowes looked from one to the other, icily aloof.

"I have settled that Issue with Mr. Inglepin." he said quietly. "Miss Inglepin must take her chance. She is not—" he struggled f o r the right phrase, anxious nei ther to overbiame nor excuse—"a loyal American, your excellency."

"Forgive me. captain. If I in t rude upon your personal affairs ." replied the governor. "But let me ask a g a i n : are you sure you will not re gret your part icipation? Hatred Is a bit ter medicine."

MNot so bit ter ," Joshua spoke up fiercely. "A man hales for the sat isfactlon of I t ! There 's zest In « right, proper hatred. Take Ben. I ba te him because he's disloynl. I ba te him because he's my brother. I hale him because he's a Federal-i s t And I might go on indebnite-ly a t the same rale. If I can live to see Ben ruined. 1*11 die happy. Bappy. by G—d, s i r ! Eh, Fel lowes?"

*1 have no expectation of happi-

ness,^ Fellowes answered went Ily. But we wander from the point of our visit. Your excellency has not said you'll help us."

"By all means In my power," the governor returned promptly. "The Secret Service t>hull be instructed to protect you. nnd report every move of these people." He paused "I suppose you'll wish to have the young lady watched?"

"She must take her chance with the others," Fellowes liiHisted "We'B play no favorites, sir."

Joshua Inglepin clipped bis arm. savagely peremptory.

"Aye. no favorites, damme, rasped the merchant . "Vou can't afford em when you hate. Fel-lowes. I Know!"

An aide knocked al the door. "General Scott is arrived f rom

the Niagara fmniiei your excel lency." be antiounced

"All," exclaimed the governor "in tlmt case. I must ask you to excuse me. gelillemeii I'.ut be as tured of nn syinpatny in \out un derlukings." He iicsitatcd. "My symjiatb ' ' . gentlemen, and my pity,' be added eartn -iiy.

ougi i ly . c a p t a i n . gret it."

So he'd go outside to lib wherry, piped by Tom and lib I males, like an admiral into hi-barge.

Summer waned into fail and tin waterfront speculated freely on tin conjunction of circumstances tha kepi the two Inglepin ships In pon So did Hen and bis friends. Tin Secret Service reports that came i< Joshua every few days were full ot such passages as th i s :

"Mr. Inglepin had with him ovei the Thursday Senator Pickering ol Massachusetts. They attended n meeting at the Bank Coffee lionsi In the evening. Hldglns. the wait er, says there was n deal ot talk of secession, but mostly of tiie objective of Mr. Joshua Ingiepin's new privateering brig. Mr. Ben Jamin assured the gentlemen he'd give the d—d rascals the Rllp."

Another t ime Mr. Daniel Webster a young, fiery representat ive in con gress from New Hampshire, and Mr. George Herbert were cited as having conducted an nnimnled dis cusslon nt Ben's dinner table "Curse this government," cried Mi Herbert . "At six days' notice IM march for Washington, and swem upon the a l t a r not to return onti Madison was burned beneath tin ruins of the capital ." A sentiment which Mr. Webster applauded •This is no longer a free govern ment," he said. "The Const it u tion is foully libeled. There Is grow Ing up In Washington a fabr ic ot despotism. We must take meas ures. gentlemen, desperate meas ures. if need be."

Finally, in September, when tin fa i l gules began to blow in earnest tbe T rue Bounty loaded a cargo i-

barreled flour, salt flsh, and sun-dries, und Ben Inglepin visited the custom house In |>ersun and took out clearance papers for Cadiz.

Joshua foamed with rage when he heard this. "The impertinence of it," he fumed. "The d—u fel-ler 's been t rading with tiie enemy. Aye, and If the truth be known, lie iu now. Cadiz! H—1, Fellowes. there are roads from Cadiz to Well-ington's front . Cadiz! Why uot Southampton, and be done with il?"

Joshua made a nuisance of him-self, occasionally, but it was lie who fetched tiie first warning of the T i u e Bounty's sailing.

The day bud been overcast, with light airs quar ter ing f rom south to east. Fellowes was silting at sup-per In the main cabin, soiitary by choice, when a thump sounded over-bead. and Joshua pelted through the companlonwuy.

"They're off!" shouted tbe mer-chant.

"Off? Nousense. sir, my look-outs—"

"No. n o ! I mean Ben and the girl—and that creature that ' tends lier. I saw 'em. Fellowes. Saw 'em pile out of their house, bag und baggage. They came in a coach, but I beat 'em. By G—d, I ran a r ace !"

"Do you still see the True Boon ty?" lie asked Cuffee again.

"Yah, mars ' r . H.fb dor." But an hour or so a f t e r midnight

a f rown distorted the negro's scarred features, and he exclaimed angrily in his Jungle dialect.

said grimly. "Mr. Spencer, take the deck. If you plense. I'll tu rn In for n few hours."

CHAPTER X

Savor of Vengeanca.

MORNING brought a dull, gray sky, an untiring wind—and

empty horizons. Fellowes knew he must have long since outdistanced the cumbrous True Bounty, and shortened sail a s much a s he dared, but the Centurion f l t J before the gale at a fa i r twelve luwta. *

All tha t day and the next the nor 'wester stormed a f t e r them, bat during the second night It blew it-self out in a snow-squall, and Fel-lowes wore ship to retrace Ids course. Studying charts, he de-cided the True Bounty would s teer north of the usual truck to the Peninsula. Chater would hug the routes of the British convoys to Canada, choosing ra ther to risk be-ing overhauled by an enemy cruiser than by his own countrymen—very possibly trusting to some form of protection f rom Admiral Cockbura. So for four days more the Centu-rion beat to the nor thward on a zigzag course lhat covered many miles of sea, but ll wasn't until the fifth duy that the cry of "Sail ho" f rom the maintop sent all hands to their stations.

The s t range sail made a clumsy a t tempt to run away, but the brig overhauled him In less than two glusses, and u musket-shot across bis bows sent him flapping Into the wind. An hour Inter the George and Anne, of Liverpool, loaded with strouds, Yorkshire woolens, crockery und hardware, was di-verted from Halifax to New York wilh a Yankee prize crew in charge of her, u i d the Centurion bore off on her mission.

Northeast Fellowes steered on a slanting course that would carry him fa r tu seuward of the coasting routes where the enemy cruisers kept watch and ward, f a r lo sea-ward, loo. of the Grand banks ; but a week a f te r the George und Anne had dwindled over the skyline a cold clammy fog wrapped the Cen-turion, and Hie privateer crawled along with double lookouts at each masthead and on poop and fo'c's'le, and magazine open and the gun-

"Where did yon leave your ship, s ir ; -

"off the Monti piiKMr-'e." There was a moment nf consult:!

linn on Hie eneun ' s poop, then the j same oilic-r haP d a u a i n :

"And your name?" "Lioutcirint lito.;.-rick, sir," Fel

lowes nnswered desjierateiy. cas t ing ' a wary eye for ait opening to slip clear.

•T.roderlck. eh? You ain't rated

to tho Seinele, sir—not by my An-nual."

"1 um newly t ransfer red to her , ; sir," Fellowes improvised. "From the Cape."

"Hn, s i r ! I find no Broderick listed a s a l ieutenant—"

A pa i r of Tyne traders , heavy-loaded, blundered out of a swath-ing of mist, and staggered aboard the Centurion. Fellowes, swif t to seize the opportunity, preteuded lo great anxiety.

"Luff up there, d—n* ye," he bailed the first of the merchantmen, with all the typical a r rogance of a navy ofllcer. "What d'ye mean, my man? Luff up, I s a y ! Here, you a t the wheel—" lo his own helms-man—"bear away from the rascals. By tbe Fiend, they'll run us dowu I"

Skillfully, he interposed the hap-less t raders between the brig und the eeventy-four, und urged his lop-men alofL

"Jump, lads!" he shouted. "Get every stitch ou her, If you'd not see Dartmoor."

The Centurion's hands responded with yelps of appreciation, swarm-ing the yards, regardless of a ragged fire of musketry from the seventy-four, which had begun to smell a r a t Thc fog still swirling a l different levels, obscured the sit-uation for oilier ships. The fr igates, mindful of their special duty, the guarding of the convoy's flunks and rear, contented them-selves with discharging warulug-guns for the laggards to move up. The seventy-four, cramming on ail sail, *ried lo wear past Hie offi-cious t r ade r s ; but she was an old Spanish prize, broud-beamed and slow, and before tdie cou'd bring ber forward divisions to bear tbe privateer had interposed other ves-sels of the convoy to cover herself. The confusion was prodigious. In-dividual ships changed their courses ; a slovenly Irish brig rammed a Southampton ship, and was roundly cu r sed ; cannon boomed, and every fog-horn, Unpan, drum and bell in tbe fleet was set to work. «

In the midst of everything the Centurion stood ruthlessly through the heart of tbe convoy, loosing her broadside batteries a t Intervals to heighten the existing conslerna-lion. The frigates, responding lo frenzied signals f rom the flagship, flnally gave chase, but by the t ime they had discovered the where-abouts of tbe privateer the fog blanketed her, and Fellowes changed her cou :e to due soulb. He saw no more of the convoy,' al-

\ a tee rs . and almost swanpr Centurion captured trader, the Pc the very next Jessie bri ;. of for the Gold goods.

"Take the glass," Fellowes direct-ed. Can you make out t ha t sail? Is she tbe T rue Bounty?"

"Cuffee don* wan* no glass, Mars ' r Fellowe'. Da t him Cha-ter ' ship."

Tbe Jugged white teeth glistened lo the cold souligbL

"Oh, my a u u l l Now we shoot him Long Tom, mars ' r . Now we shoot him plenty hard."

"But shoot careful ly ," he warned. "We may require to cripple a must, but I'll have no killing—if it can be avoided."

The immense black bands, f r ee of the swinging ratl ines, opened and closed, crooked and slashed.

"But why should you hate Chater?" Fellowes questioned.

"Cuffee hate him Chate r fo' da t yo ha le him, mars ' r . Yo' s e e ! Cuffee kill him plenty quick."

The sensational value of the Greatest Chevrolet in

Chevrolet History is based on definite points of

superiority—which you can easily check for your-

self. From its improved 50-horsepower six-cylindcr

valve-in-head engine, to i ts beaut i ful new bodies

by Fisher—it sets a new s tandard of quali ty for thc

low-price field.

A few of Chevrolet 's extra-value features are listed

on this page. Check t hem over carefully. Then

come in and drive this car. It will take you only a

few minu tes to find out why it is causing more

comment and winning more praise than any

Chevrolet we have ever shown. For it is a finer
