"t;h. the poor fellow I" Polores mur mured so fervently that Hilly was oo the point' of hurling his heart at her feci on the Instant. The thousand dollar Wehster had cnhled Hilly "for a road-stake" had heen dwindling rapidly under the stlm-' Ulus of one continuous opportunity to spend the stuue la a quarter where It win calculated to hrln the most Joy. XJr. Geary vus iihsolutely hryrged In the quagmire rf his first love affair, hut until tils mining concession should amply Justify an avowal of his passion, an instinctive sense of ihe eternal fit ness of things reminded Hilly of the old proverb that a closed mouth catcher do Hies. And In the meantime (such Is the optimism of youth) tie de cided there was no need for worry, for when a girl calls a fellow Dill, when she tells hlin he's a scout and doesn't care u whoop or any society except Ms rcrainha I It's great 1 A wireless from Wehster warned Hilly of the former's Imminent arrival. Just hefore sunset Hilly and Dolores, riding along the Maleecn, sighted a blur of aiitoke far out to sea a blur thai grew mid erew until they could make out the grace! ul while hull of La Estrellita. hefore the swift tropic uight descended and the lights of the great vessel shimmered across the harbor. "Too lute to clear quarantine to night," Hilly uiounied, as he and Do lores rode back to her hotel. "All the aauie, I'm going to borrow the launch 6 3 M ftl n Jt F I 1 I r I ti is 1 1 T'.tl fil"r Ii I . ! 1 wMmmm ir.

I can heave to a little way from the steamer and wel come the old rascal, anyhow." Fortunately, good little Leber con sented to Tilly's request, ami Don Juiin t'af. t 'io .mis sober enough to turn the engine over and run the launch. From tbe dit'li of the steamer Wehster, ftmo!;'t glils post-prand'al cigar caught slglu of the launch's red and green sldellg.'its chugging throigli ihe Ink? hlaeliiicss; a the little craft slid up to will.

For ten minutes Hiiiy and Don Juan C'afcici'o lio'ihed aliotit In the launch; then a Memorial! voice shouted from the simmer. "Hey, you I In the launch, there. Not so close. Buck off." ' Don Juan kicked the launch hack fifty fit't. "That will do!" the voice called again. "Hello:" Hilly soliloquized. "That's Jack Webster's voice. Wonder what he's up to. I thought he acted strangely preferring medicine to lue the minute I hailed him!" While he was considering the mat ter, a voice behind him said very soft ly and Indistinctly, like a man with a harelip: ".Mr. Geary, will you he good enough to hack your launch a collide of hun dred feet? When I'm certain I can't le seen from the steamer, I'll come aboard." Hilly turned, and In the dim light of his binnacle lamp observed a beautiful pair of white htiuds grasping the gun wale on the starboard quarter. He peered over and made out the head and shoulders of a man. "All rigid," he replied In a low voice. "Jiang where you are. and you'll be clear of the propeller." He signaled Don Juan, who hacked swiftly away, while Hilly doused the binnacle lamp. "That'll do," the thick voice Kahl presently. "I'.c-ir a hand, friend, and I'll climb over." He came, as naked as Mercury, sprawled on his belly iu I he cockpit, opened his mouth, sput out a corn pact little roll of tjnfuil, opened It and drew out a hall of paper which he flattened out on the floor of the cockpit and handed to Hilly. "Thank you," he s.tld, very courteous ly and distinctly now. "My creden tials, Mr. Geary, If you please." Hilly relighted the lamp and read: , "Dear Billy: , "I do not know the bearer from Adam's off ox; all ! know about him Is that he has all the out wan1 " of a gciii i.-i.iaa. it e courage of a In-ar-cal. a N ii-e of In:. nor and a head for whl. h the presid-'iite of S.l.nin!e will gladly pay a considerable nmuln-r of rt-sei oro.

S. WEHSTErt.- "Kick the boat ahead Bga'- Cuffer ty." Billy ordered quietly, lie turned to the lute arrival. "Mr. SIaa. your credentials are all to apple-pie order. Ito you happen to kaow that this hat Is swarming with man-eating sharks?" The man raised a line, strong, youth ful fare and grlnucd at him. "Hoh son'a choice, Mr. Geary," he replied. "Afloat or ashore, the sharks are after me." Sir, I am your debtor." He crnwled Into the cabin and stretched out on the settee as John Stuart Web ster's voice cume floating across tbe dark waters. "Every thing well with yoo, Blllyr "All Is lovely. Jack, and the goose honks' hlglu By the way. that friend of yunrs. called with his letter of Intro duction. I took enre of him." "Thanks. 1 suppose you'll call for ma In that launch tomorrow morn I me?" "Surest thing you know. Jack. Good night, old top." "Good-night. Billy." Don Juan Cafetero swung the launch and headed back for the city. At Leber's little dock Billy stepix-d ashore, while Don Juan hacked out Into the dark bay again In order to avoid Inquisitive visitors. Billy hastened to El Buen Ainigo and returned presently with a bundle of clothes; at an agreed signal Don Juan kicked the launch Into the dock ngaln ond Billy went aboard. "Hat, shirt, necktie, duck suit, white socks and shoes," he whispered. "Climb Into tin -in, stronger." Once more the launch backed out In the hay, where Webster's protege dressed nt his leisure, and Billy hand ed Don Juan n couple of pesos. "Hemeiiiher. John," he cautioned Jie bibulous one as they tied up for the night, "nothing unusual happened to night." "Dlvll a thing. Mlsther Geary. Thank you, sor," the Gaelic wreck re piled blithely and disappeared In the darkness, leaving Billy to guide the stranger to El Hoen A nil go. where he was taken Into the cotilldenee of Moth er Jenks and, on Billy's guarantee of the board bill, furnished w I th a room and left to his own devices. John Slniirt Webster came down the gangplank into Leber's launch hard at the heels of the port doctor. "You young horse thief." he cried, affectionately. "I believe It's the cus tom down this way for men to kiss each other. We'll dispense with that, hut ty " He folded Billy In a pater nal embrace, then held lit iu at arm's length and looked him over. "I t.t d. son " he suld. "you're ns thin ts a stuko. I'll have to 'feed you up." As they sj cd tow ard the landing, he .looked Billy over once more. "I have It," he decht-vd. "You need a change of cliiiute to get rid of that malaria. List show me this little old mining claim if ,im:."'. Bill, and then hike for Ond's country. Three mouths up there will ul .j mi riJit again, and by the ti' -io y u get back, we'll he about ready to we'gii Hi.. !!r-;t cleanup." Billy shoo'; his head. "I'd like to mighty veil, .lail;," he replied, "hut I Just can't." "Huh! I suppose you don't think I'm cnual to the las'; of straightening out this ect.ci sioii ef yours' and making a hlt'Utner nil- e' it, eh?" The yonir: fellow looked across nt hltn sheep -r'y "Mine?" he jeered. "Who's talking about a mine. I'm thinking of a girl!" "Oh!" "Some girl. Johnny." "1 hope she's not some pnrrakeet." Webster bantered. "Have you looked up her pedigree?" "Ah-h-h!" Billy over the side In sheer disgust. "This Is an American g'rl born here, but white raised In the C S. A. I've only known her three weeks, hat rdi !" And Billy kissed his hand Into space. "Well. I'm glad I find you s happy, hoy. When do yon pull off the wed ding?" "Oh." said Billy, "thnfs premature. Jack. I haven't asked her. How could I until I'm nhle to support her?" "Look here, Ron," Wehster replied, "don't you go to work and he the kind of fool I was. Ton get married and take a chance. A man ought to marry young. Bill. Hang the odds. I know what's good for you." At the hotel Billy sent a note to Dolores, apprising her that John Stuart Webster had arrived and would she he good enough to receive them? Miss rtitey would he that gracious. She was waiting for them In the veran da Jusf off the patio, outwardly calm, hut Inwardly a foment of conflicting emotions. As they approached she af fected not to see them and turning, glanced In the opposite direction: nor did she move her head until Billy's .voice, speaking nt her elbow, said: "Well, Dolores, here's my old Jack partner walling to he Introduced.' Jack, permit me to present Miss Do lores Buey." She turned her face and rose gra ciously, marking with secret triumph the light of recognition that leaped to his eyes, hovered there the hundredth part of a second and departed, leaving those keen, quizzical blue orbs apprais ing her In the most natural manner Im aginable. Webster bowed "It Is a great happiness to meet you. Miss Buoy." he suld gravely. Do'ores gave him her haert "You have 'tiicl'tle-s 'o- ev " We'.-Mf murv.1 iiiti-r-'cd'y. "So !t:pi! ef i-ie not to tememU-r. Where did we meet?" "He h:is a profound sense of hu mor." she soliloquized. "He's goln; to force ii ie into the o-n. Oh, deiir, I'm helpless." Aloud he said: "On the train in I'- a'h valley Inst ticuiti, Mr. Weheter." Webster shook his bead slowly, as If mystified. "I fear you're nt staken. Miss Uuey. 1 wasn't on the tram In Death valley last month. I was In Deliver s.i you nmst have met stune oilier Mr. Webster." She flushed furiously, "1 didn't think 1 coiil. I be mistaken." she an swered a triile coldly. "It Is my misfortune that you were." he replied gniclo.isly. "t ertainly, had we met at that tlttut, I should not have failed tn recognize you now. Some how, Miss Buey, I never have any luck." She was completely outgeneraled, and having the good sense to realize It. submitted gracefully. "He's perfectly horrible." she told herself, "but at least he can lie like a gentleman and 1 al ways did like that kind of man." So l hey elm tied on the veranda until luncheon was announced and Dolores left them to go to hr room. "Well?" Billy queried the moment she wa out earshot. "What do you think, Johnny?" "I think," said John Stnnrt Webster, slowly, "that you're a good picker. Bill. She's iry Ideal of a fine young woman, and my advice to you Is to marry her. I'll gruh stake you. Bill, this stiff col lar Is choking me; I wish you'd wult here while I go to my room and rustle up a soft one." In the privacy of his room John Stuart Webster snt down on Ids bed ami held his bend In his hands, for he had Just retvived a blow- In the solar plexus and was still groggy. Present ly, however, he pulled himself together and approaching the mirror looked long at his weather-beaten counte nance. "Too old," he murmured, "too old to be dreaming dreams." He changed to a soft collar, end when he descended to the patio to Join Billy once more he was, to nil outward appef ranees his usual unperturbed self, for his was one of those rur na tures that can derive a certain comfort from Ihe misery of self sacriilce and In that live u.imilcs al)ine iu his room John Smart Wehster had wrestled with tin tragedy of his life and won. lie had resolved to give Billy the il'ht ef way on tUe highway 10 happi ness. In Mr. Webster's own whimsical phraseology, Ids eh ck had been fixed, on the Instant he recognized in the ob ject of liis youthful partner's adoration the same i Income woman lie had en throned In his own secret castle of love. I'ra n lh U precise second Billy's prescr'ij was as safe from encroach luent hy his friord ns would be a bale of Confedeiute currency Iu un aruior- steel vnutt nn the three thoiisaml fiOt level of a w nter-I'dled mine. John Stuart Webster had unanimously resolved upon ihe course he should have pursued Iu the first place, lie would Investigate Billy's mining concession liuiiiedinieiy ; provided It should prove worth while, he would Mnaticc It ami put the pro;. city on a paying basis; afler which he would k-ee to it that the very l ; diw'ors in the city of Ihieniiveiiliira should inform Billy, un oiiicliilly an I In the Mrlctcst conll iluce, that if he desired to preserve ihe life of Senor Juan Webstnlre Ii" jfmidd fiTth'vi'h pack that rapidly dis integrating person oil to a mole .salu brious t liiuaii'. Having made lib deels'on, John Smart Webster immediately look heart of hope and decided to lead trumps. Dolores rejoined them for a siesia after luncheon. Webster leaned over and slapped Billy Geary ':t knees affectionately. "Well, I'.l!!. you safl'roii colored old wreck, how long do you suppose It will take for you to pick up enough strength and courage to do some ac tive mining? I'm anxious to get that property on a paving basis, so I can get out of the country." "Why, Johnny." the amazed Billy declared. "1 thought you .voiild stay and help run the mine." "Indeed ! Well, why do you sup pose I spent so much tine teaching you how to ruin a mine, you young Idiot. If not against Just such a time ns thin? You found this concession and tied It up; I'll finance It am! help you get everything started; but after that. I'm through, and you can man age It on salary and name the salary yourself. You have a greater Inter est In this eouvrv than I. William; and so Willi o,ir kind permission we'll hike up to that concession to- rrow and give It the dmiblo-O; then, If I can O. K. the properly, we'll cable for the machinery 1 ordered Just befoie I left Dcner. and get busy. We ought to have our first cleati-ttp within ninety days." "Gosh, bet you're in a hurry," Billy murmured. He disliked exceedingly the though, of having his courtship Interrupted on a ui'iiiite's notice. "You know me, son. I'm a Imstler on the Job." Wehter reminded him brutally ; "so the sootier you start, the sooner yon can get back mid accumu late more malaria. What accommoda tions have you there?" "None. Jack." "Then you had better gt some. Billy. I ihirtt yn told me vew have to lake horse at San Mlguet de I'adtui to ride In to Hie mine." Il!y nodded. "Tl'oti you had belter buy tent ami beddiiie for both of ns b'n the tT up to S Ii V'g'ii'l ''e Pail' a. : ,i no v M'i It ..i. I e e I 'I-..' a ;....wl ! n eec.!e et .' '.' B:i'y tl.-na-.b'l.d. "1 have to sre a nma. and write ome letters and K.-nd a cablegram and wait for an answer. I nn-iv have to loaf around here for two or three days. By the way. what did you do for that friend I sent to you with tne letter of Introduction?" "Eart!y wbut yoo told me to do. Johnny." "Where Is he ncfwT" "At El linen Amlgo the same place where I'm living." "All right. When yoo ret back to your hostelry, you might fell my friend I shall expect him over to dine with me Uiis eveulng. If he can man age if." For an bour they discussed various subjects; then Billy, declaring the siesta was almost over and the whops reoH-iniig ts a consequence, an nounced his Intent Ion of doing bis shopping, suld good-h.ve t.j lK)!oies ami Webster, and lugubr:"Ty departed oti the business In band. "Why are you In such a hurry, Mr. Webster?" Dolores demanded. "You haven't heen in Buenaventura sis hours until you've managed to make me iwrfuetly miserable." "I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to." "Dldnt you know Billy Geary Is my rsotial property?" ' "No, but I 8Usieeted he might he. lull's generous that way. He never ! hesitates to give himself to a charm I lag woman." i "This was a case of mutual stlf j defense. Billy hasn't any' standing so j chilly, you know. When old Mrs. Gen j eral Maldonndii lectured me (the I dear, aristocratic soul conceived It to j be her duty) on the Impropriety of ! nppearjng on the Malccon with Billy ' and my guardian, who happens to tie Billy's landlady, I tried to explain our American brand of democracy, but failed. So I haven't been Invited any where since, ami life would have been very dull without Billy. He has been a dear and you have taken hliu away." Wehster laughed. "Well, he pa tient. Miss Uuey, and I'll give him hock to you with considerable more money than he will require for your Joint comfort. Billy In financial dis tress Is a joy forever, hut Billy in n top hat nnd a frock coat on the sunny side of Easy street will be absolutely Irresistible." "He's a darling. Kver since my ar rival he has dedicated Ids life to keep ing me amused." She rose. "Despite your wickedness. Mr. Webster, I am going to he good to you. Billy nnil I always have five o'clock tea here In the veranda.. Would you care to come to my tea-party?" "Nothing could give me greater pleasure," he assured her. She nodded brightly to him. "I'm going to run up to my room and put some pov.der on my nose," tho ex plained. "But you'll return before ttva nVlockT" Wehrter was amused to fcti.. himself plead. "You do imt deserve such conslrt'TH tlon. but I'll come back la lil uut twenty minutes," she answered and left him. As Webster viewed the situation, his decision to see as little as possible of j Dolores during his brief stay In i Sohra"ite was a wine one. The less he i saw of her (lie told himself), the bet ter for his tence of mind, for lie was forty years old, ami he hail never loved before. For him this fever that burned In his Id i, this delicious agony that throbbed In his heart and I nil on the very ghost of provocation were so many danger-signals, heralds of that grand passion which, coming to a man of forty, generally lasts lilni the remainder of his natural exis tence. ; Wehster was forced to admit he was ' nfrnld of himself. His was the rapidly disappearing code of the old unfetter ed West, that a man shall never be tray his friend in thought, word, or deed. To John Stuart Wehster any crime agnlnst friendship wns the most heinous In all tne cnlendar of human frailty; even to dream of slipping Into Billy's shoes now would be monstrous; yet Webster knew he could not afford a teat of strength between his ancient friendship for Billy and the masculine desire for a perfect mnte. Itemaltied then hut one course: "I must run like a road-runner," was tlie way Webster expressed It.

Losses by hog rhiiera have been ma- J terially reduced iu Hudock county, Ala bama, as a result of the work ot tbe county agent In training farmers In various centers throughout the county to use the serum and apparatus devel oped by tl.e I'nited States Department of Agriculture'. Erty-nlne cars of mi .r .

In Houston county the depart ment's representative taught IS men to vaccinate hogs. Six sets' of instru ments owned by the Dothan Notary club were supplied to the demonstra tors and a scrum-distributing point was established In charge of a reliable veterinarian. More than r,(HK) head of hogs were treated. In many cases It was found that sickness, other thnn cholera, was due to some Incidental cause, such ns hnd peanut meal, and balanced rations were advised. The county agent's work resulted In 32 farmers establishing pastures to keep their hogs off the open range, the hind thus pastured being freed from ninr.y noxious weeds by the rooting of the tinlinals, and prepared for future culti vation. Forty-four farmers in the county were Interested In slump re moving, and about '.'.iwi acres of land was cleared In Ibis movement. About live tons of dynamite was bought for the purpose largely on the co-operative plan. NOTH'K OK SIMMONS AM) W A li lt AM' OF An'At'UMKVr. North Carolina. Union County In the Superior Court. J, D.

AVhen properly managed, the feed ing of garbage to sv due is o praciiinl means of pork production, according to Fanners' Bulletin ll.'Kl Issued by the 1'hited Slates 1 lepartment. of Agrl- ; culture. j In addition It helps to settle a proh i lem which confronts many cities and towns that of effective and econoiu! cal garbage disposal. The wholesome i ness of garbage depends greatly on the enre It receives in households. Tin cans, glass, paper oyster shells, saw dust, soap, and other foreign mate rials when mixed with gnrbage may cnuse numerous losses of hops. But It has been found thnt this evil can he minimized by proper precaution nnd published requests to householders to he careful. Immunizing of hogs Is necessnry to prevent hog cholera nnd frequent Col lection is urged to keep the feed fresh. Copies of the bulletin may be had free j hy applying to the I'nlted States De partment of Agriculture. SEGREGATE ALL NEW ANIMALS Wise Plan to Place Recent Purchases In Quarantine for at Least Twenty-One Days. The proper nnd only rafe thins; to do w ith the recent!" purchased atitmnl Is to place It In e arnnilne upon Its arrival. B.-ter ke, p It there not less than 21 davs at least. This enable you to keep n careful watch over the animal at nil times, nnd to determine thnt the animal Is healthy, ami In case there should be nny disease. It would not be carried to those animals al ready on the farm. SUPPLY PIGS PLENTY WATER Young Porkers Drink Often and in 6mall Quantities Non-Freezer Is Very Useful. A plf! likes to drink water often and In small quantities. It drinks water the snme as It ents feed a little at a time and r.ften. Thnt Is why a n.m fToeriiig waterer and a self-feeder for grain are so very valuable In the hog lot.
