If he had salted jt—hut iio didn’t, so why spvculareV Jim Duran was born In Arizona, where lit* learned from the ant, the rat”- tUnmake and the broncho tnr tor. uutil ids yours were twenty, then he went away to college. He took a course In Europe, notably In the Argonne, There­ after we find him In New York eity, and if is In that period of his career that we must consider tin* spud. lie had been hungry .for a long while, but since noon the day before he had been hungrier than ever.. Hav­ ing passed up supper, breakfast und dinner in order to conserve the spud, he was now bent upon Its destruction. He diced tliu spud neatly and placed it In the skillet. Jim sat down to eat It nud, with his mind on chow and noth­ ing hut clmw. lie did something he should not have doneMm sugared it. He got rid of the portion he had taken Into bis mouth, in disgust and hollow consternation, and sat down on the edge of his bed, staring, pnnlc- strlcken aud hunger-ridden, at the rains of the feast. As bis weight bore down on the bed something hard bore upwards along his spine. He thrust a hand beneath Jthe covers of the bed and -withdrew a regulation army auto­ matic. Two minutes later Jim was in the street, and moving along through the shadows. He might have been going to “ Uncle Levi’s,’’ at the corner, to bor­ row a few dimes on the bolstered col­ lateral now resting snugly inside the waistbnnd of* his trousers—but he wasn’t. “I’ll never hang you on no string In no hods shop, old pal. We had to fight to live over there," ho went on, rumi- ■ natively, “ and It begins to look as though we are going to. have to do the same over here—’’ “Put ’em up!" . . There was no mistaking tlio nature of tiiat command, nor the threat in It. But in the split second that ensued before Jim Duran went into action be experienced another sensation. Hot rage made his blood leap—rage over the enormity of the thing this precious ,pair were attempting. “*■ > And to think that he, Jim Duran; Imd come out for the self-same pur­ pose! To prey upon'Ills more fortu­ nate fellows! - Did good men die over yonder in order to make this Uttle old U. S. A., a safe place for such parasites as these to .live and ply their trade? \Va.s It not for an entirely different thing, having to do with honor, and safety In die pursuit of « livelihood, that rivers’ of good, red blood had been shed? Those thoughts flashed through Jim’s mind while he acted. With pi.intherlsh agility he leaped into the darkness of the alley, snapping his gun out o f Us, holster and tiring.ns he did jo ,. In the flash of-yellow light Unit accompanies the. roar i .’ n heavy arm I uj saw the foremost bandit go down in a crumplpd heap. The second thug acted with prompt­ ness and Jim’s speed in' crouching down the Instant he fired probably saved his life. As it was, a sharp pain over his left temple told him thut u bullet had readied him. Resisting, des­ perately, the impulse to relax h s grip. on consciousness, he lifted himself upon nu elbow und raked the darkness before him with a storm of lead.. A choking, agonized scream; fol­ lowed immediately by the sound of a heavy body crashing to the earth— and Jim, with a sigh, slipped Into the darkness that meant relief from pain, and forgetfulness of all things—Includ­ ing hunger, Jim Duran drifted buck to conscious­ ness again, two hours later, in the emergency ward attached to a nearby police station. A surgeon standing at the. foot of his bed was speaking, “ Scalp wound; nothing serious,” .he was telling the police sergeant who lin­ gered near. “Probably wouldn’t have feasted him if he hadn't been hnlf- starved. He has missed out on a good many mess calls in the past two weeks, or I miss my reckoning." “Guess he won’t have to worry none ovei where the next uieal is coming from now—-not for a long time to come, ut any rate.” „ “Barney Kelson and Kid Brackett, both deader than I ever hoped to see ’em—and five hundred smackers on the scalp of each of ’em!” The sergeant spoke enthusiastically, albeit a bit en­ viously. “ Nope, 1 reckon Hits lead sllnger hero won’t have to bother none abbut the eats. . . .” A hand reached out and plucked him by a sleeve. “ I say, surge, do you mean I get all that jack?” Jim asked weakly. “Hello, there! You back again?" ,>\-,>l((lmed the officer, eyeing him critl- nilly. "Look pretty fit, too, at. that,"; he added, by way of comment, “ As lo j I i . j moneyi sure you gel It; less a small per cent that goes into the relief fund.

H ISTORY By ELMO SCOTT WATSON NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT - A “ Monument o f F o lly ” Much has been written about the abandoned farms of New England, but her abandoned forts are not so well known. Of all of these obsolete strongholds none Is more Interesting than Fort Knox on the Narrows of the Penobscot river at Prospect, Maine. This fort, which derb’ed Its name from the fact that it was built on land once owned by Henry Knox, the Boston bookseller wire became Wash­ ington’s chief bf artillery In the Rev­ olution and the first secretary of war for the United' States, was begun In the early forties to protect the ship­ building atid commerce of the Penob­ scot, which was then at Its height Work had progressed far enough at the outbreak of the Civil war to en­ able the War department to use Fort Knox ns a training school for many of the artillery officers who served In the Union army. This ..was the near­ est that Fort Knox ever came to a war record, however, for In 1869, after construction had been In progress for 20 years, work on it was abandoned. “Costing about a million dollars, It stands a monument of human folly,” writes one historian. "The recent ad­ vance In the science of war is such that Fort Knox would be scarcely more effective In time of danger than an ancient feudal castle of the Middle Ages.” “Monument of folly” though Fort Knox may be, It is also a monu­ ment to the days when mnsonry was a fine art. Huge white slabs of gran­ ite, quarried from Mount Waldo, a few* miles north nnd flonted down the river In scows, arc set In Its walls edge qn edge with beautiful precision, and a great circular staircase of solid pieces of granite Is tlie crowning piece of workmanship. Near the shore batteries can still be seen tlie brick ovens where the 42-pound can­ non lmlls were heated, but nearly all of tiie artillery placed in the fort dur­ ing the Civil war lias been removed to mlorn parks, armories and other public places In New England. Designed to be the finest fortress on the Atlantic coast, Fort Knox Is now abandoned, and It Is one of the several forts whose sale has been authorized by congress within recent years. , Al­ though If lacks the historic back­ ground of many other forts, there are few which are as picturesquo as this grim old "monument of folly” which stands guard over an unfulfilled hope on the banks of the "Rhine of Amer­ ica,” the Penobscot river.' i (©, IfiSi, Western Newiipapar Union.)
