WOMAN EARNED' HER LIBERTY j Unlooked-For Suffering Endured by Stowaway Who Was Making Hw ! Way to Freedom. Gone wns the BosiwruB and In Its place we saw the leaden waters of the Black sou. From the porthole of Josefs cabin wo could distinguish many miles west of us the coast line of the country In which White had spent tliree years, according to Cnpt, Alnq JJott's "Stowaways, Inc.," In Aslu. Fcodor soon left us, for he had to bring other stowaways to the light of day. From every concealed cranny of the vessel men and women, utmost as feht-hearted us ourselves at deliver ance from the Turks, were coming Into tlie open. One of the stowuways, a passport less woman whom the aged captain wns taking with him to Odessa, did not rejoice for some time. As hiding place for her (he old man hud chosen u deep locker In his chartrooin on the bridge. There she had remained for tho last two days, Now, Bonn, the kitchen wench, knew nothing of the captain's ludy. That morning, not wishing to send her own particular stowaway a Turkish deserter wltli coul-blackened face, untrlmmed beard and decidedly odorous clothes back to the bunkers, where he hud spent tho previous duy, she thought of the locker ns a temiwrnry homo. Dump ing him Inside the locker, she fas tened the lid und ran back to tho kitchen. The Turkish deserter landed with some violence on the captain's Indy and both received a bad fright as they clutched at each other In tho darkness. Vet the lid could not be re moved from the Inside and tho wom an's screams were unheard outside tho little room. The air In the unventl latcd locker grew more and more stuffy. Finally tho woman fainted. Tho Turk, tired nfter u long spell of cramped wakefulness In tho bunkers and the kitchen, composed himself philosophically and went to sleep. AGED MAN CLAIMS RECORD New Hampshire Nonogenarlan Still Able to Swing Ax Both Lustily and Expertly. Friends of Frunk Mozrnll, ninety, of Franklin, N. II., claim that he Is tho champion woodchopper of his age In tho New England states. Despite his rieur approach to the century mark he Is able to swing an ux with the best of tho choppers of tho New Hampshire woods, those who know him best say. Mr. Mozrall was formerly u hotel man. Since his retirement n favorite pnstlmo of his has boon to walk a dis tance of five miles from the home of his niece to n wood lot and there chop wood. It Is claimed that he cut almost five cords of wood In u week, which Is Considered a record for u man uny- whoro near Mr. Mozrnll's ago. Mr. Mozrall helped to build tho first hrldle path from the Profile to tho summit of Mount Lafayette, and was one of the best-known guides In tho mountains years ago. lie has guided Borne of the best-known people of the country In their explorations of the Whlto mountains. It Is only recently thnt he has come Into fame as a wood- chopper. Mr. Mozrnll's memory Is most excel lent and his general health Is excep tionally good for a man of his ad vanced years. Boston Post. Syntnetlc Vinegar and Acetic Acid. Acetic ncld Is now used In great quantities In making ncctute of eel luloso for airships. Before the war this wns obtained by distilling wood, but It no longer sudlces. A synthetic way of making acetic acid was dls covered and now tho price Is much (lower than It used to be, Tho process Is simple; It calls for the .production of acetic aldehyde by u re action ot wntor with acetylene, and the oxidation of thu aldehyde gives acetic ncld Three French compaules are now using this process and La Nature says they bid fair to drive tho distillers of wood out of the Held, even planning to .produce a synthetic vinegar that shall ZZZlxXZ tlclo. ' Strong Plea. The local scout executive hnd vls ' Ited the school for the purpose of or ganizing a troop. He talked to the boys for a time nnd then taught them several yells, some for their school and somo for tho principal, ull of which tuado a decided hit with them. A few days later they asked their tcachor to Invite hint back, but she refused, pleading tluit their time was needed for their regular school work Anothor few duys and their request was repeated, only to meet with tho name refusal and tho sanio excuse. It wns almost a week before the nubject wus again mentioned, und then the genius of the class did It. "Sny, Miss W ," he began, "don't you feel like you would llko to bo yelled for again?" Rcmarkablol An amorous young man met a math ematical mnld at tho Christmas dance, lie was as keen on flirtations as she was on problems, and ho asked her, In tho conservatory, to tell him her age. "How old am I?" replied the girl. "Well, when 1 am as old as my sister was when eho was as old as I will be when she la twice us old as I then wns I will bo twice ob old us I now am.

GARTH (Copyright, 1920, Wetltrn Nswipaper Union) There was no reason why Richard Clyde should not be a happy man. He had a beautiful home, u loving wife, a daughter good and beautiful. Ills business cares were nominal In a hand somely furnished ofllce, whoro he an swered a few letters and had a steady Income from a prosperous Investment business. The worm In tho bud was fancied Illness. Clyde had leisure to nurture all kinds of dismal forebodings. Thus, ior,a year a siigut siege oc rneumausm hnd magnified Into locomotor ataxia, mill for double that period of time ios- lng weight was laid to anemia. When his physician hnd dispersed the final symptoms of both distresses. Clyde i looked around for some new ailment and found It n wen I "It Is simply a growth In no wise connected with the nerves or arteries, hnrmless ns a wnrt or corn," his physi cian old Glyde. "The slightest opera tion In the world will remove It en tirely, for It hns no roots." "No cutting or slashing, or blood poisoning for mel" ob'ected Clyde, with vigor. "I shnll let It develop till wo see what conies of It." "Nothing will come from It except vagaries," tersely responded the physi cian, but the wen becamo n petted Idlosyncracy of tho Impressible Clyde. He nursed It, he measured It dally, thought of It the first thing In the j morning, anu uio insi tiling at iiigni. i . , .... .. .1 lit) irimnicii it rrnm citninrr ns tunuim i a wrench might tenr It loose nnd drench him with his life blood. He studied up tumors, cancers and goitres. One afternoon a stranger entered the Clydo ofllce. Itsproprlotor hnd been reading an nrtlclo In n medical jour nal of a case that bore u very distant nnnlogy to his own, where abrasion, metallic poisoning nnd Inflammation had raised a lump tho size of an egg on the foot of n man In Kuglnnd. The Instanco persisted In monopolizing Clyde's thought, and ho wns nervoua, Irritable, and scowled at the cnller. "Mr. Clyde." spoke the latter, a well groomed, refined appearing young man with a slight ulr of timidity, "I have come to seo you about a subject of great Importance to myself, I mip poso you don't remember me." "I don't," responded Clyde, grufuy, barely glancing nt the card tendtrod nnd scanning the nnmo It bore. Then a fnlnt recollection of having seen a person resembling his visitors among guests of his daughter at a houu party came to him. Before ho could speak, however, there wns a sudden nnd startling Interruption. Overhead there was n terrltlc detona tion, then a sound of crashing glass. Prom windows overhead there rained down outside a shower of brittle par ticles. Bits of plaster from tho coll ing fell all about the desk. Frantic cries and rushing footsteps on the lloor abovo told of an unusual commotion, ON 19th N. "An explosion! There's a chemical concern overhead t" gasped Clyde. lie struggled to his feet. Ills visitor grasped his arm and as he noticed the hallway without rapidly filling with va por, rushed thither, urging, dragging, hnlf carrying the shaken Clyde with him. The latter gave utterance to a terrlblo yell. "My arm 1 Let go I Tho wen I" but he wns forced to the nearest elevator, crowded with excited people, and pushed In. Agitated, bareheaded, Clyde stood on the ground floor, confused and frightened as a second detonation fair ly shook the building. Then In a min ute or two a building employee came down. lie (piloted the fears of the muddled group by announcing that two explosions hnU occurred, a fire start ed, but quickly extinguished, and no further danger. Timorously Clyde went back to his ofllce. Tie shuddered us ho noted the ef' feet of the second explosion. A great hole had been torn In the celling, driv ing down the henvy plaster and a shattered beam. Had he retained his Rent at tno ocsk ne wouiu nnve oeen maimed or killed "Where's the fellow who dragged me out, just In timer' he panted. "I owe 1 hint everything. Ills enrd? Ah. here It Ib 'Ronald Weston" "Oh, pnpa I are you safe?" cried an anxious voice, and Wanda Clyde stood In tho doorway. "Incredible I" ejaculated Clyde, ns something rolled down his Inside sleeve Into his hand. "The wen 1' There It wns, the object of so much Interest nnd worry, elenn swept from Its place by the vigorous handling he hnd received from his rescuer.
