Men Cease To Live When
They Cease (To Enthuse
When men lose enthusiasm for their
work in life, they have lost that which
forms a vital contact between themselves
and success for their chosen line, no matter
if it be running a corner grocery, manning
an institution of any kind or flying to new
heights of the stratosphere.
Life to all who have enthusiasm is in
seeing their work advance. Nothing else
matters. ,
If they can see that work go forward
and it. is done so at the ri 1c of their life
at times, they count it as refuse, compared
to the course they have set out. "Give Me

' CHAPTER XVII
' Sandy went into the office. There
I were a number' of envelopes, ad
'dressed, sealed and stamped. The
jdoor of the safe was closed and
locked. It was a fairly heavy safe
; that would not be easy to open and
| Sandy thought of the will that Iso-
I bel told him was kept in it. He
) wondered if it were still there and
• how he could determine this,

."Mike told me that he slipped hi."
/chain and went for a ramble. Isobel
shackled him too loosely, and Mike
'never noticed it. The natives re-
j port that he was roaming out over
the plantations."
' "Has he coine bock?"
asked.
"Yes, he was standing by Mike's
I quarters when he woke up. Scratch-
ing his side on the corner of the
I shack." ^
Vinckers made no attempt at the
;rlvetting of his alibi in tho disap-
pearance of Isobel, but the others
did it for him. Asking no questions
at all, Sandy was able, through
,what the others volunteered, to ac-
icount for practically all of Vinckers'
time from the moment he went to
/bed until the early morning hours.
' His snores in the night, and at about
} two, Jarvis awoke with a dry throat
and noticed a peculiar musky odor,
j "Nothing so new," said this un-
(evoluted soul, with shameless can-
dor. "The sort of sweetish bestial
perfume that I've got once or twice
before I began to see things. Goes
with booze fauna. This time though
I had a feeling that it must be real,
i io Instead of hanging on to Flavin
i got up and looked out the window.
It was a combination of elephant
and goat. They were both down
there, just outside the office."
"Was the office lighted?" Sandy
asked.
"Yes. The light was streaming
out. Mouse had got loose and come
'up to look for the governor. It
seemed to me he ought to be cooped
up again, so I slipped in and man-
aged to wake up Vinck."
"Why didn't you ring for a ser-
vant, or go for Mike?" Sandy asked.
"The servants all sleep over in
their barracoons and the big brute
sets my goat. So does the other
-oat. They didn't look so good down
there. Gave ma the wee-waws.
Vinak took some waking, and then
Hester roused und wanted to know
a lint was up and told me to go back
arid sleep it olf. I went down then
after a little drink, and when I came
'>inck up and looked out those blond
brother* had moved on."
V inciters' alibi seemed pretty

.i.irt to shield Vinckers from sua-
i.inon. Hut Sandy thought they

<uw something, and immediately
i.miething more.
The office had evidently not been
, tidied, nothing put in order. Its
' whole expression, the placing of
things and their misplacing took
1 suddenly to Sandy's eyes a definiti
flee deliberately and of her own free
will and accord. Her exit, though
no evidence of any struggle was ap-
parent, had yet not been orderly.
She had been picked up and carried
out of there while sitting at the
desk, engaged in writing and the
examination of papers.
Such was Sandy's total percep-
tion. Its details while few were sig-
nificant. The heavy inkwell seemed
to have been brushed back until it
stood perilously close to the edge of
the desk, and nobody had bothered
to replace it. There was a broad
smear of dried but still fresh ink to
show the line of its movement. Some
papers were lying on the floor, close
to the desk on the side of the open
window of which the jalousies had
been raised for freer air. The heavy
modern swivel chair was not slightly
turned, as apt to rest on a person's
leaving it, but in a half circumfer-
ence, so that its back was toward the
desk. A corner of the rug beneath
it was scuffled up.
Sandy looked toward the big win-
dow. "Were the jalousies .. . these
Venetian shutters down?" he asked.
"No," Flavia said. "I heard Iso-
bel pull them up when Jarvis was
trying to wake up Vinck. It was a
stuffy night, and she must have
wanted to get what air was stirring
Funny . . . there's her tulle scarf
hanging on the end of them."
Sandy had already got this de
tail. It was part of the picture to
draw itself so suddenly. Isobel
would be orderly in her movements,
he felt sure. She would scarcel'
have hauled up the shutters wit!
her scarf hanging there.
"These letters might as well be
sent," he said.
"I'll look after them," Hester told
him, a little shortly.
"The safe was open, I suppose?"
Sandy made his tone casual.
"No," Vinckers said. "It was
closed and locked. It can stay that
way until we've combed the island
for Isobel. I think we're all need-
lessly upset. She's somewhere
round. Gone on some errand, or per-
haps merely wanting to be alone for
a little while. There's not a soul
here that would harm her. In her
present state of mind our feelings
are the least of her cares."
Hester was looking fixedly at
Sandy. "I believe you know some-
thing, Mr. Crewe."
"Well, I don't. But 1 agree with
your husband that she's not so very
far away. It would be natural for
her to want to go somewhere to
think quietly and undisturbed, and
sh«*might have lain down in some
little nook or corner and fallen
asleep."
Hester nodded. "Yes, after work-
ing all night."
Sambo came to the door to say
breakfast was ready. Jarvis and
Vinckers went into the dining room
and poured themselves some cognac
at the sideboard.
"You had better have a bite to eat
before starting on a search," Hester
said to Sandy. She looked rather
badly, he thought.
"I'll go out aboard and send my
motor dinghy to circle the island,
close into the shore," he said, and
went out through the big open win-
dow. Going down to the landing he
ered. "Sure I been thinkin' the
same, Mr. Crewe."
"She was writing at the desk,"
Sandy said. "The desk chair in
which she sat was right against the
window. Mouse was standing just
outside, watching her, probably. He
reached in, encircled her with his
trunk, lifted her out and then must
have managed some way to hoist
her onto hii ~

"He had a trick av cradlin' her;

That was a little game av thim

"Yes, the Colonel mentioned it.

into her head that Mouse had some-

"Of sorts. Mous" might know

"Sure it's yerseif has got It right,
Hlr," Mike said admiringly. "I did
not get so far as that, but thought
inly she might have wanted to take
a jaunt in the cool av the night. But
why then did she not come back?"
"Perhaps she wanted to go on to
some place where .Mouse couldn't
get."
"He would have waited, sir."
"Could she send him back?"
"I am not so sure." Mike
scratched his grizzled head. "But
then no man can be sayin* just what
an iliphant may do or how much he
understands. And Mouse has oceans
and oceans av sinse. All the same,
sir, why should she be wantin' to
send him back?"
"To see what her loving relatives
might do when she failed to ap-
pear."
"Well then and all I would hardly
be callin' Mr. Vinckers a sap, sir,
Mike objected. "If I am any judge
av men, he would be the last to put
his fut into a tr'rap."
"He might, though, if the bai'
were right. Mouse seems uneasy."
Mike nodded. "The worst can hap-

"Not yet," Sandy said. "What if
we two get aboard him and let him
go his gait? See where he takes
us?"
"Sure and that can do no har'rn;
to thry, sir."
The pad for Sandy was placed
and the two took their seats. Mike
leaned down and began to croon
into Mouse's ear, and in these soft
mutterings Sandy caught often the
name of Isobel. Mouse was listen
ing. Shifting from side to side pan-
derously he began presently to rum
ble to himself. The big ears fanned
gently. Mike understood Instinc-
tively, or had been told the secret
of hereditary mahouts, to babbit-
constantly to their great charges, to
let their voices weave inductive
thoughts into the mysterious con-
sciousness of which no man has ever
learned the scope.
For a few moments Mouse rocked
gently back and forth. Had one
been standing at his side he might
have seen the deep wells of reflec-
tion in the wise eyes. Then, likn
any other great fabric to obey the
impulse of the human will, Mouse
moved slowly forward, increased

understanding swung off on the

all mere talk. But there are certain signs

OTHER EDITORS' THOUGHTS
SHORTER FREIGHT TRAINS
The pending bills in Congress
to limit the length of freight
trains gain little strength solely
because organized railway labor
is united in support of them. La-
bor has been mistaken in the past
on what constitutes its own lies',
interest and it i« mistaken in this
instance. The argument that
shorter and therefore more fre-
quent freight trains would b« in
the interest of greater safety
docs not seem very convincing to
those who have to cross railroads.
The argument that shorter
trains would provide greater em-
ployment of railroad labor
worth" more consideration. Yet
even here labor may be taking the
shorter view. Technological ad-
been since Watt invented the
first crude steam engine. In th
long run they are of the greatest
social benefit. By research and
costly trial and error the carriers >
have perfected locomotive power
and equipment to the point where
vast saving in cost and time are
now possible in rail transporta-
tion. Temporally these may
cause some displacement of labor.
But over a longer period of timi*
all elements of society, including
.abor, benefit from improved ma
chine tcchniqus, as the history
of the past 150 yeais clearly dem-
ontsrates. The printing trades,
for one example, have benefitted
immeasurably by the introduction
of the linotype despite the fac.
that on its introduction it was
feared that the compositor's irad*
vances are inevitable and have was doomed—Dallas News.
