To them they sustained trust, conf

lives today remode1ed to suit the popular
airs, the success of which lies possibly in
the fact that the singular turns of the
beautiful, catching melodies had their
origin in close touch with natures heart.
Living over the Old Life
Some of these ex-slayes, repeating these
songs of the world, lived over again the
old life and its associations; but coupled
with the thanksgiving for freedom was
the purpose of obtaining means for edu-
eating thousands of their fellows. and
there was a hallowed power in the songs.
To those who first sat under the spell of
the songs within the walls Of Fisk uni

a wondrous story not only Of past adver-

CHAPTER XIV
The Epidemic and the Cure

The Epidemic and the Cure
Ellington O'Keefe strolled home one
day only to find a large, unwieldly cask
rolled into his back yard.
What the devils that he inquired
of the servants. No one knew. 1t was
clled his name and the town of his adj
dress. "A team had drawn up to the
sidewalk and two men had rolled it in.
But there's a note they left with it,
suggested some one, Sin on your ta-
ble" Ellington O'Keeefe stalked in
and read the note. It was written in
lead pencil on a piece of wrapping pa
per. 1t read about as follows:
Palace of the Akoond, Island of Swat
Blillngton O,Keefe. Esq, Care of the
Firm of O'Keefe- Smith Company-Dear
Sir: By, this tide I have shipped
quantity of the quintessence of the Isle
of Swat. 1t is nothing but water, but of
q very superior kind. 1t is not for drink
ing purposes, but, properly distributed, it
may be of great benefit to the community
My object in shipping it to you is to have
you convey It to some canal or pond as
soon sesla i; as s, possible and pour it in Then
friend and partner. is but the commence
ment OF mutual business enterprise
which trust will be as pleasant as it
may be profitable. Your obedient servant
Otherwise known as OKeefe, Akoond of
Swat.
.The devil!" muttered Ellington
O'Keefe, and his voice sounded the
knel of all his expectations. How the
dickens did he do 1t?
He wasn't sure that Smith had been
successful in Drawing all the perils, but
he was afraid SO. His heart sank
within him. In the meantime, here
was this cask. What was it? It might
be anything almost. In itself it might
be an instrument of revenge. He called
servant.
you open that cask.'' he said, and
ind out just what's in it. Bore a hole
in the side" He did not want to have
the bunghole knocked out in the regu-
lar way. because he was afraid 1t
might contain explosives. The servant
bored hole and held a pail under
meath. Then he plugged up the hole
and took the pail to his master.
1t contained nothing but greenish,
muddy sort of water. 1t looked harm
less enough. 1t certainly was not dan
gerous in any imminent sense.
O'Keefe thought it over. Then he
read the letter over. Then he deter
mined to follow the directions of the
letter. He didn't want the cask around
and it would have to be carted some-
where.
But say, john" he suggested to the
servant, keep that pail of water in a
corner of the garden and cover it up,
and we'll see what like it is at any rate.
Cart the other stuff away"
But Ellington O'Keefe was not the
only man who received a letter from
the Isle of Swat. John Lorimer, con-
sult1ng chemist, was busy one morning
in his laboratory in the little building
which he occupied. when he CHANGED to

He was a hard worker. He was a
money getter. His methods may have
been different from those of others. but
the end always justified the means.
He was on the lookout for good oppor-
tunities. Opportunity saith the
Spanish proverb, hath hair in front,
put behind she is bald; if you wish to
hold her, seize her by the forelock, for
When once she is past you, the devil
himself could not overtake her" Smith
was a man who generally seized that
sforeiock with a firm grasp. But in the
Isle of Swat there seemed to be no OPP
portunity. He concluded that it would
pc wise for him to make one He might
have sailed away in the Sarah Mar
garet, out there We're various reasons
Why he did not want to do so. Jenkins
was dangerous man, and Smith knew
ne was safer on the island than on the
ship. The ship still lay at anchor wait
ing for his signal. He was not ready
yet to give it.
Smith had another reason for stay
Ing on the island. He felt a pride
about beating Ellington O'Keefe at
his own game. So far he had done it.
He wanted to do more-he desired to
cap the climax.
He did not have to think very long.
One day as he was gazing almost
hopelessly about him, he slapped his
leg.
"Eureka!" he exclaimed. Eureka.
