Our legislators pass, without, difficulty, a law protecting rabbits, but the Ohio law putting a penalty of ten years on ‘‘robbery or attempted robbery with gun in possession” apparently stands a slim chance of passing. Th*> young fellow vyho, bn being asked why he shot a bank cashier in an attempted robbery, gave this answer, ‘‘Well, I told them to ‘stick ’em up’ and he would not do it so what could I do but shoot?” The only safe place for a brain and morals of that caliber is in the pen, ~ ,„v...creh'' .cn'njnr’’!en.f. The Baume law of New York is to be recommended to our legislators making it mandatory on conviction of fourth offense, the penalty of continuous imprisonment. The crooks, > sob sisters and criminal lawyers, all are setting up a wail of despair in Mew York. The first because it hurts crooks, the second because it does not give ‘‘seventy times seven” chances for pardon and the last because it cuts down their chance for defending a wealthy crook or getting their hands in the public coffers. Note four hundred thousand dollar expense W>l on Connecticut- in the Chapman case and the one hundred thousand ,lollar fee for Leopold and Loeb. Make the penalty one to carry terror to the heart of the evil doer. The penalty is none too severe to m< e out to bandits toting guns for cy take them along to use on the Person who dares disobey their vicious demands. G| ve us some useWl legiglation .. A SUBSCRIBER.

Three million Indiana dollars go out cf this state yearly for the musical education of Hoosier youth, it is estimated. Much of this money be brought back to Indiana, advocates of the 10-year building program claim, if adequate facilities were provided the state schools. At present, enrollment in the Indiana university school of music has reached 1,007, as compared with 235 in 1921. Many applicants for admission have been forced because of lack of room in this school, as in other divisions of the state universRy- r The school cannot supply the demand within Indiana for its graduates, who are sought as teachers and music supervisors. Dean B. W. Merrill states. Every inch of space in two small wooden bu’ldings is utilized for musical instruction, he points out, from 7 a. m., continuously throughout the day and into the night. Private rooms in nearby homes are also pressed into service. Efficiently of instruction is seriously imparied through the bedlam conflicting sounds which prevails in the frame buildings. The worst of the situation. Dean Merrill states, is that students are now being forced out of the state for the musical instruction they seek at home as a means of qualifying for positions as teachers and supervisors of music in Indiana. Similar conditions prevail in the schools of medicine and education and in certain courses it; the college of ares and sciences. A report by the United States Wrean of education fvi lu-"--'-" '■ indicated that 4,353 Indiana students 'eft the state that year for a higher education. They took with them over ? 1,007,000 according to estimates. Two went to school in neigliboring states to every one attracted to Indiana institutions from those states. The bill now before the genet al assembly would establish a two-ceat tax levy over a 10-year period beginning in 1929. This would provide a sum during that period of approximately $10,000,000 to be used in erecting and improving buildings at Purdue university, Indiana univerSny and the normal schools at Terre Haute and Muncie. The bill was introduced to meet the demands of the schools when their requirements were found to be so large as to make their inclusion in the state budget for this year inadvisable. » - - o Aimee Creates Enthusiasm At Meeting In New York New York, Feb. 22.—(United Press) Mi s. .Aimee Semple McPherson, completing a three-day series of sermons , here, aroused the most spontaneous enthusiasm from her auditors in nar- , rating a story of her own life. “I have always been interested in ' radio,’’“she exclaimed, ‘‘in the anten- j nae, receiving sets and amplifiers, ; but I have never, never been inter- i ested in radio operators.” Her audience shouted approval and ' surged toward her, realizing her disavowal of Kenneth Ormiston, radio , operator of the Angelas Temple i whose name was linked with hers on a conspiracy charge. o Beekeepers Open Short Course.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1927.

The Understanding Heart By PETER B. KYNE A vivid flash of (lightning cut athwart Ihe smoke filled sky and ti rain-drop splashed on the baby’s upturned face. Monica wiped it away with a fold of th<~,’hnrred,dirty cont, and thrilled as a peal of thunder crashed among the hills. "O God. make it rain and save Bob and Uncle Charley," she cried aloud — and at that moment they emerged on the edge of the timber, and the wide green stretches of Tantrum Meadows lay before her. Quite in the center of the meadows alone, scrubby, thick-topped mountain-pine stood, and toward this Monica directed Baldy's lagging steps. Once in the meadows, hope appeared to rise in the brave animal; the waning courage of his royal blood flaming again, and he broke into his old fast running walk. Seemingly he divined that the mountain pine marked the limit of his journey, as it was to mark the limit of his physical ability, for just as he reached it his head dropped low and witli a deep, gasping exhalation he stood shuddering, picking up first one foot and then the other, as if wishful of lying down before he should fall down. Monica slipped off, laid the baby at the foot of the tree and quickly stripped the saddle and bridle from the horse. Instantly Baldy collapsed and lay outstretched, too weary and hopeless to attempt to roll in the soft cushion of dirt and pine-needles. And then the tempest broke with all its titanic force. Crouched at the roots of the pine, with her back against the trunk, the baby in her arms and the pugent saddle-blanket protecting them from the big drops which seeped through the thick, flat, horizontal branches, the girl gave herself up to the first red cry she had had since Ashford Dale died. Hers were tears of 1 appiness for Bob Mason and Uncle Charley would be safe. An hour of such heavy ratn would effectually quench the fire, and when Monica thought of all the magnificent trees that had stood in the San Dimas through the ages—trees which, guard-, ing, she had come to feel were part and parcel of her existence; when she reflected that her charges would now have respite until the following summer, a feeling of profound gratitude to the Ruler of the Universe suffused her full heart. She found comfort in the knowledge that the best timber did not grow in the burnt-over area. \ However, the girl was too practical to spend precious moments in repining or introspection. Before the slow driji from the branches could wet them she gathered a pile of dry, fine pineneedles and cones; then, breaking some dry twigs off the lower branches. she added to her fuel supply. j From jnfancy she had been taught never to be without matches, so soon a fire was burning briskly. The girl then gathered all the pine-comes and dead limbs in the immediate neighborhood' and piled them under the tree albeit by the time she farad finished this operation she was soaked to the skin—a situation she dismissed without worry, since she knew she could manage to keep the fire going under the protection of the mountainnine. ni any sort of rain-storm short c’r . “loTi'ic lisi;'' otic V. iuiu '7... .. T* : - dry ain. Presently the baby commenced to whimper. It required the customary infant a' rntions and it was hungry; now it was getting cold. Monica tindresesd it and / tucked it under the evil-smelling saddle-blanket; over the blanket she propped the heavy stocksaddle onfoundation of pine-cones. "Now, young man,” she decided,”that will keep the rjtin off you, at least, while I dry your undies." I-ater, when she dressed the infant, it ceased wailing and fell asleep. "Healthy little angel,” the girl reflected. “A well-nourished baby, and not a burn or bruise on its little body. 1 suppose its poor mother perished. otherwise Bob would have brought her up, too. Perhaps he got her as far as the meadows and left her there; if she sees my fire she may make her way to it.” Baldy had not moved since lying down, but his regular and somewhat stertorous breathing and an occa ; sional gusty sjgh told Monica shat he was alive an’l resting comfmkably. “A week of rest and good care and some picric acid on your burns will put you right, Baldy,” Monica told him. “I suppose you'll lose a little hide here and there and the hair will grow in white —you'll be a hit speckled when you take the road again, Baldy, but 1 don’t suppose Sheriff Bentley will mind. He’ll be glad to get you back again.” About eight o'clock the glow in the -sky had almost disappeared, and Monica, watching the line of flashes west of Bogus, was certain the fire had been held in leash. Where it had had a good start it had continued to burn, but it had not been able to extend itself appreciably in the drenched foliage and Monica had high hope that the lookout station on Bogus had been spared; her worry over Bob Mason and Uncle Charley Canfield was practically pver. A half-hour later she heard the sound of a horse galloping across the meadows, and presently a horseman rode into the circle of light cast by her fire. “Is that you, Monica Dale?” he called. “Yes. Who are you?” “Garland.” “Oh, Tony, I was never so glad to see anybody in all my life! How did you know I was here? I thought you were miles away, fighting the fire." CHAPTER 28. He dismounted and took her hand in his courtly fashion. Then he stripped off his rubber slicker and'

drew it around h'er wet shoulders "The telephone line went out early In the afternoon, and when 1 couldn't reach you 1 began to worry,” he explained. "Reports brought in by a rider of the D D outfit, who are run nlng cattle here this season, showed rhe fire was crossing the western end of Tantrum Meadows, and crawling up on Bogus. I saw it was going lo| cross the ridge at the eastern end of Tant ruin also anil cut you off from Dogwooa Flats it) case you had to evacuate, so I flunked my job and came for you. I knew you didn't have a horse, so 1 " "You quit the firing-line- for me, Tony?” "Yes, Monica.” "That will cost you your ranger’s shield, my friend. A ranger must not | cease fighting fire while he can stand and sei-. Your first loyalty was to the service.»Tony." "To blazes with the service. The' forest will grow again, but you ” "You're a dear, Tony. Didn't you know 1 could take care of myself?" "1 couldn't chance that. If you had been pinched off on Bogus and burned —I wouldn't want to »,.ive, Monica. 1 don't know you very well —and yet it seems I do not have to. Yours is such an understanding heart, my dear. Ydur loyalty to that convict—the way you manhandled us all when we came 'or him was superb. "Women like you are so scarce in this sad world, my dear. B< ‘er to let a few thousand acres of brush and scrub timber burn than that a woman like you should perish before she has fulfilled her destiriy.” Monica was still holding his hand, she squeezed it a little now and patted the back of it with her other hand. "You’re a dear, Tony,” she repeated, as if she addressed a little boy. “Have you been up to Bogus?” “Yes. Sheriff Bentley and 1 rode up together. He was as badly worried over your safety as I was." “And I’ve used him so very badly,” Monica murmured. "Yes, and if ever I saw a maniac it was Sheriff Bentley when he fin- ' ished that five-mile hike over the Tantrum trail after you’d made his horse run away. It seems the confounded animal kept jogging along the trail a few yards ahead of him and wouldn't quite trust him. They arrived at my station together, and of all the lan1 guage I ever listened to " •‘Perhaps that started the forest 1 fire,” Monica suggested innocently. ; He shook his head. "We're all pretty well convinced that Bob Mason start1 ed it, to wipe out his trail, block his 1 pursuers and keep all hands busy : fighting fire while he continued on to ' the Modoc country.” ‘ “Ah, Tony, you're not kind. Bob 1 Mason didn't do that. He couldn't, i It would be wicked — and Bob isn't I wicked* He knows forest fires and how terrible they are sometimes. Bob I will take his chances in the open with • man or devil but—there is so much r of God in these trees, and you told i me the hills were God's first temples. - Bob Mason wouldn't outrage God!” ; "A desperate nan will do anything ' He broke his word of honor when he escaped from the prison road gang." 1 Monica was silent under this charge 1 which she should not defend, so she ' changed the conversation. 1 “Where is the sheriff?" “Up at the lookout. When we got ! there we saw that the rain would save ' it, but you weren’t there ami your ' cabin had been stripped, so we knew ‘ you had evacuated. Bentley decided ' you’d moved your furniture down into I that little meadow below the station. He was tired and hungry and so was r his-m‘ rather my.—horse.

I had an idea you'd make for Dogwood Flats, and as 1 knew you'd find yourself cut off, I concluded I’d meet you wandering on the ridge. I was half crazy with the thought of you alone in the dark, wandering through the white-thorn and scrub timber, cold.

Don’t Fuss With Mustard Plasters! Don’t mix a mess of mustard, flour and water when you can relieve pain, soreness or stiffness with a little clean, white Musterole. Musterole is made of pure oil of mustard afid other helpful ingredients, and takes the place of mustard plasters. Musterole usually gives prompt relief from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsillitis, croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, headache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism, lumbago, pains and aches of the back or joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of the chest (it may prevent pneumonia). / Jars & Tubes Better than a mustard piaster Coughing stops A child’s cough must be relieved quickly.
