John Garland says:
‘'Succors ‘a government dep is
largely c n the selaction of ofli.
ials with teh will and abi'i /
perform great tasks.
“Government is not automatic.
It must t>e run by human beings.
Its plan may he perfect but if
administered by the inefficient
men. it will fail.
ti
"Good government, therefore, is
largely a matter of personnel.
"It is well that we should be
giving our attention to .improving
the mechanism ;-of our government
but all our work will come to
naught unless efficient men are
chosen for office.
"The government will never be
I any more efficient than the men
who administer it.”

tries to revive his interest by
sinking to the level of a savage,
forsaking firearms to hunt man
killing beasts with a crude Tartar
warbow.
But his superior skill In track
ing makes even the most ferocious
beast an easy prey. At last he de
cides thut what he needs is not a
new weapon, but a new animal to !
rejuvenate Ms single passion, the
lust for hunting.
He turns his island Into a hunt
ing domain on which he sets ship
wrecked and shaltfchaled sailors
free with a hunting knife to de
fend themselves—and then tracks
them down and kills them like
animals.
On this fantastic island’ the
voting American is forced into an
i-utdoor game of chess with death
us tlie penalty for a false, move
and a glorious woman as the prize
tar success.
All his knowledge of woodcraft
and the tricks of huating are call
ed upon to defend his life. The
! startling duel of the pair, high
lights this weird tale which fas
jcinated thousands of magazine
readers.
