"Very welL Here's an order on the bookkeeper." Boyd tore a leaf from his notebook and wrote a few words on it, telling the men to present it at the office.

MAK J.1M, boennT or Anson county ago when the nigbt I was at Cherry's "house you and your sister went out?" - "I 'member." "Where did you go?" Constantine shifted his walrus soled boots. "What for you ask?" ; "Never mind! Where did you go when you left the house?' "Me go Indian village. What for you ask?" , "Nothing. Only if you ever have any trouble with Mr. Marsh 1 may be able to help you. I like you, and I don't like him." The breed grunted unintelligibly and was about to leave when Boyd reached WITH A STABTLTID CBT, CONSTANTINE WHIBLE1, HIS FACE CONVULSED. forth suddenly and plucked the fel low's sheath knife from its scabbard. With a startled cry, Constantine whirl ed, his face convulsed, his nostrils dilated like those of a frightened horse. But Emerson merely fingered the In dian's weapon carelessly, remarking: "That is. a curious knife you have. I have noticed it several times." lie eyed hiui shrewdly for a moment, then handed the blade back with a smile. Constantine slipped it into Its place and strode away without a word. It was considerably later, in the day when Boyd discovered the Indians to whom he had given the note talking excitedly on the dock. Seeing Constan tine in argument with them, he ap proached to demand an explanation, whereupon the quarter breed held out a silver dollar in his palm with the words: "These men say this money no good." "What do you mean?" "It no good. No can buy grub at company store." It was evident mat even Constan tine was vaguely distrustful. Another native extended a coin, say ing: "We want money like this." Boyd took the piece and examined it. whereupon a light broke upon- him. The coin was stamped with the Initials of one of the old fishing companies, and he instantly recognized a ruse practiced in the north during the days of the first trading concerns. It had been the custom of these companies to pay their Indians in coins bearing their own impress and to refuse all other specie at their posts, thus com pelling the natives to trade at com pany stores. Seeing that his words carried no conviction, uimerson gave nr at lncf cnvintF "If the company store won't take the money I'll sell you whatever you need from the commissary. We are not go ing to have any trouhle over a little thing like this." He marched the natives In a body to the storehouse, where he Baw to It that they received what provisions they needed and assisted them in loading their canoes. But his amusement at the episode gave way to uneasiness on the follow ing morning when the Alents failed to report for work, and by noon trfsHnx- iety resolved itself into strong sus picion. Bait had returned from the banks earlier In the morning with news of a struggle between his white crew and Marsh's men. George's boats had been surrounded during the night, nets had been cut and several encounters had occurred, resulting in serious injury to his men. The giant, in no amiable mood, had returned for re-enforcements, Btating that the situation was becom ing more serious every hour. Hearing of the desertion of the natives, he burst into profanity, then armed him self and returned to the banks, while Boyd, now thoroughly alarmed, took a launch and sped up the river to Cher ry's house in the hope that she could prevail upon her own recruits to re- turn.

Fox & Lyon, Druggists, Wadesboro, N. C. He found the girl ready to accom pany him, and they were about tq em bark when Chakawana came running from the house as if In sudden fright. "Where you go?" she asked her mis tress. "I am going to the Indian village. Tou stay here." t "No,r no! I no stop here alone. I go 'long too." ' Sb cast a glance over her shoulder. .--Vv- - "But. Cliakawana, what Is tha mat ter? Ar4 yea afraid ? "Tea," Chakawana nodded her pret ty head vigorously.- "What are you afraid of?" Boyd asked, but she merely stared at him with eyes as black and round as ox heart cherries, then renewed her en treaty. When she had received per mission and had hurried back to the bouse her mistress remarked, with a puzzled frown: "I don't know what to make of her. She and Constantine have been acting very strangely of late. She used to be the happiest sort of creature, always laughing and singing, but she baa changed entirely during the last few weeks. Both she and Constantine are forever whispering to each other and skulking about until I am getting nervous myself." Then, as the Indian girl came flying back gft ith her tiny baby brother in her arms, Cherry add ed: "She's pretty, isn't she? I can't bear ugly people around me." At the native village, in spite of every effort she and Boyd could make, the Indians refused to go back tc work. t "Since they can't use your money at the store, they don't seem to care whether it is good or not," Cherry an nounced after a time. "Oh, but It's maddening!" She stamped her foot angrily. "And I was so proud of my work. I thought' I had really done something to help at last. But I don't know what more we can do. - I've reached the end of my rope." "So have I," he confessed. "Even with those fifty Aleuts we weren't run ning at more than half capacity, but we were making a showing at least. Now!" He flung,'up his bands la a gesture of despair. "George Is In trouble, as usual. Marsh's men have cut our nets, and the yacht may ar rive at any time." "The yacht! What yacht?" "Mr. Wayland's yacht. He is mak ing a tour of this coast with the other officers of the trust and Mildred." "Is Is she coming here?' demanded Cherry In a strained voice. "Yes." "Why didn't you tell me?" "I don't know; I didn't think you would be Interested." "So she can't wait? She Is so eager that she follows you from Chicago clear up Into this wilderness. Then you won't need my assistance any more, will you?" Her lids drooped, half hiding her eyes, and her face hardened. "Of course I shall need your help. Her coming won't make any differ ence." "It strikes me that you have allowed me to make a fool of myself long enough," said Cherry angrily. "Here I have been breaking my heart over this enterprise, while you have known all the time that she was coming. Why, you have merely used me and George, and all the rest of us, for that matter." She laughed harshly. "You don't understand," said Boyd. "Miss Wayland" "Oh, yes. I do. I dare say It will grat ify her to straighten out your troubles. A word from her lips and your worries will vanish like a mist. Let us ac knowledge ourselves beaten and beg her to save us." Boyd shook his head In negation, but she gave him no time for speech. "It seems that you wanted to pose as a hero before her and employed us to build up your triumph. WelL I am glad we failed; I'm glad Willis Marsh showed you how very helpless you are. Let her come to your rescue now. I'm through. Do you understand? I'm through . (To Be Continued.) "I have been somewhat costive, but Doan's Regulets gave just the results de sired.

It was Emerson, wasn't it, who said if a man could do somethings better than anybody else the world would beat a path to his door? Well, the path to Jerry Moores house is getting pretty s!ick. 1 added the weight of my footsteps, so to speak, today, though I was in an automo bile. Jerry 13 the champion boy corn grower of the world. He lives in the county of Florence, and State of South Carolina, near the station with the winsome name of "Winona." His father, Rev. J. H. Moore, iaa Metho dist preacher, and they live in the parsonage here by the little brick church of Liberty chapel. As we turned In and 'stopped the engine at the front gate,'we knew we had struck the right place by the in credible patch of corn stalks off to one side. Id'frent of the barn door there was a little slip of a fell jw iu blue overalls and brogan shoes. He vai tying a hamestring on a big awkward horse. As he was the only one in sight, we greeted him by askiog: "Are you the fellow that raised the corn?" "I am the one," he answered. ' And so here we were face to face with a hero. If Dean Swift had known Jerry Moore when he was talking about the man who made two blades of grass grow where or ly ot.e grew he fore, what would he have said. Jerry made 228 bushels and 3 pecks of corn grow where only about ten bushels had grown before. Heroes do not look like heroes. Jerry Moore, is 15 years old and small for his age. He might tip the beam at G5 pounds, but it would be c!os. He is a modest, demure lad, aud does not seem to think it any big thing to be the champion of the world. He showed us his pile of corn and what a pile it was to come off of one acre nfland! He had it shucked and planked off in one end of the crib, aud overflowing innumerable barrels and boxes besides. Wo asked him what he would take for an ear. "I'll tfive you ah ear,' be said. And he went in the house and brought out two fine ones that he bad picked out. "Here's one fjreach of you," he said: I told him I would write him up for the ear of corn. He said. "I have been wrote up enough already." We asked him for the facts, and he went in the house again and brought out a copy of the latest issue of The Manufacturer's Eecord. Awkward ly turning the big pages, he found a place with a blue pencil mark around it. "Here is the record in here," he Baid, "you can read it for yourself. And so we read how Jerry Moore, of Winona, S. C, made the wonder ful record of raising 228 .1-4 bushels of corn on an acre of land.
