The mosquitoes were too small; either

Of the yachts crew knew of the differ

certainly never knew ft-they didn't
care at this time much about out

anchored a short distance from the
shore. In the morning Lorimer and
his bride stepped ashore with Smith
and saw what there was to see. There

John Lorimer, a man with a good

son for using it; a young man, with ali
young mans romantic nature, took
up in words the song that the other
man was carrying in tune:
I'd rather own that car, sir, -

Than a coach and four and gold galore

Then he rubbed his old: ar' rather mid

to find this out. In two weeks the
Eastern drug stores were holding their
hands out to him for relief; he had sent
his samples to the East A few days
later the pharmacies IN New York
blossorned nke-.the rose with signs:
'Lorimers Balm Of the Isle of Swat
Lorlmef had patented his compound;
and beside. he had the corner on the
commodity. =
His remedy was sold all over under
different names. He did not care UNI
der what name it was sold so long as
1T sold. Sometimes it was called by
mistake "Ile of Swat" Sometimes
Swat He" Sometimes something
else. But the name by which 1t was
generally known was, simply Swat"
and nothing else.
Five cents worth Of Swat" was
the cry Of a suffering public Some
drug stores at first hired a man to
stand in front Of the stores, his face
anointed with the Compound living
example of its efficacy. He was left
untouched by the pests.
The compound was harmless; it
was colorlesss and but for slightly

not Stain. It left no greasy mark.

This Eastern epidemic was indeed
bit of luck. But 1t was the kind of
luck that did not usually follow John

It was luck. Before long the name
of the Isle OF Swat and the name of
John Lortmer became q household

deed huilded better than he knew.
Smith had done well. But he had
not done as well as had John Lori
mer. Smith without Lorimer would
I nave been cipher in this mosquito
crisis. Smith had made discovery;
Lorimer had developed 1t. Smith had
the idea. Lerfmer had the genius.
He did the work, and he had done il
well. Within very short time, Lori
mer had placed upon the market the
following commodities:
Lorimer's Balm Of the Isle Of
Swat"
"Lorimer's Perfumes of the Isle of
Swat"
.Lorimer.s Eau de Cologne Of
Swat
'Lorimer.s Wire Screen Paint of
| Swat"
(ThlS latter made the screens so
deadly to the mosquitoes that they
would not enter.(
Loriner's Turpentine Of Swat"
'Lorimer's Soap of the Isle of
Swat"
For the benefit of his business he
planted a grove of trees from the Isle
of Swat which he surrounded with a
high fence. With this grove, ulti-
mately, he can supply the world.
The Balm of Swat was certainly
eftfcacious. It killed the .nosquito;
it kept 1t away; and it took the
venom out of his sting. It was dis
covered later that it was cure for
bee sting. and kindred affections. At
any rate it was the thing that the peo-
pie cIamored for. There was a huge
demand, and John Lorirner worked
night and day to furnish the supply.

Peggy sighed with relief
Dear me-" she said, ''why, that takes
all the sting away" There being no
further necessity for withdrawing her
hand, she left it accordingly where it
was. TITS all gone," she reiterated.
She took the phial.
What is it?' She demanded. John
Lorimer smiled.
"That," he said, 'is the Balm Of the
Isle of Swat"
where did you get it?" she asked
MADE it, he replied. Then he told
her the whole story.
A week later all Monroe rose as one
man and slapped itself. Summer was
on; the Jersey mosquito had come with
it. The people howled Mosquitoes
Were everywhere. Monroe was unpre-
pared for them. Hitherto it had been
reasonably immune. But the situation
was terrible. Men could not work,
could not eat-more than all, could not
sleep. Half of Monroe had no wire
screens. Monroe suffered accordingly.
In the midst Of this, as upon the
occasion of every great crisis, a man
arose. This. man was John Lorimer.
He put upon the Monroe market
the article that furnished the relief.
He advertised this article. And this
article bore the eup11onious name of
Lorimer's Balm of the Isle of Swat"
He placed 1t in every drug store in
town. He sent to the Isle of Swat
for more of the raw material. The Isle
OF Swat was not SO very far away, and
he kept the Sarah Margaret" under
the directions of the Akoond Of Swat,
plying to and fro; and later, faster
vessels. In the hold of the SARAH
Margaret all this time were kept i'm
prisoned Capt. jerks and his mate.
They may be there to this day. at any
rate. there they will remain until the
Alkoond' of Swat gives the word to his
faithful crew.
Well, Lorimer had to sell his article
at a small price. and it cost consider
able to make, and the profit necessarily
was small. The people of Monroe
bought it beause they needed it and
beause it was a good thing. Lorinaer
never knew, nor did anyone else except
Ellington O'Keefe and Constitutional
Smith, the cause of the scourge of mos
quitoes.
Lorimer kept ON making. the stuff;
1t sold well, and he was. adding some
thing to his small income.
But though Lorimer did not know 1t.
this was but the thin edge of the
wedge, for suddeny the unexpected
happened. Menroes early summer was
pretty well along when summer opened
up in the Eastern states. The entire
East had suffered all the spring from
heavy rains. 1t had rained forty DAYS
and forty nights It was impossible to
plant crops. Such crops as were plant
ed rotted in the ground. The rain de-
veloped into a genuine calamity. But
there was more to come The excessive
moisture upon the surface of the East
ern states brought something with 1T.
The city OF Monroe, smitten as it
was by scourge Of mosquitoes, bred
by the ingenuity of Constitutional
Smith, had risen In its sufferings and
walled.
Now all the Eastern states, smitten
by millions upon millions of. mosqui-
toes bred of the superabundance Of
surface water, writhed and rose in

he observed upon her wrist large

himself upon Miss Peggyss very blue

released her hand from the grasp Of

the fingers of her other hand to the
spot, began to rub it with violence.

Constitutional Smith-an Honest Man
retail demand for Balm Of the Isle
Of Swat has .waned: but orders for
the future come in steadily from the
wholesalers.
Down on the Isle Of Swat Constitu-
tiona1 Smith does all things for all
men He maintains the reputation of
Ellington O'Keefe. And his business
judgment has reduced the expense of
production Of Lorimers great balm
to a minimum. For he has set to work
all the able inhabitants Of the island
set them to work planting and prun-
ing the trees, in the first place-ready
for the demand Of the future. He has
set them to work gathering in the
fresh green crop; In the second place,
ready for the present demand, and
with the aid Of machinery furnished
by the plant at Monroe, he has set
them to work pressing from the leaves
and branches the sap or juice, ready
for, the manipulation by Lorimer and
his chemists. In this way he accom-
plisheS several things. His subjects
are earning money, which means that
they are beginning to possess the
necessities Of civilization, enjoying
some Of the comforts of their more
effete brethren. He saves much of the
SOSC VI III dASpOItdtlOur u1uCQ OF the
cost of high priced labor. He is gradu-
ally developing his country. From the
God-forsaken, man-forsaken island
that 1t was. the Isle Of Swat has en-
tered, as 1t were, the arena OF events.
More than all. Constitutional Smith,
the strong arm man, is well and hap
ply. For he Is safe, and he is busy,
and he is working out scheme which
was begotten by him-he wants to
Ierlx nrro~ W
the police authorities still look In vain
for Constitutional Smith. Save in the
gsiise OF Ellington OKeefe, 1t is un-
safe for him to appear Today he Is
more talked about, perhaps, than any
other criminal in the United States.
But they have not found him yet. He
Is still O'Keefe. Akoond Of Swat.
Biihngton OKeefe, q man OF keen
business judgment, swallowed his
wrath; he understood that he had a
master to deal with, and he preferred
to deal with him on hettr terms. So
enthusiastic did he become about the
business that in the heart OF summer
he bought Al yacht and sailed with a
picked crew down to the Isle Of Swat.
He sent Tor Smith and Smith came
aboard. Each man held OUT his hand
and then burst into simultaneous
laughter.
I've come down." said O,Keefe. Ito

there's something in this, after an"
bargain" said Smith. II thought
we had bargain all along" He was
unwilling to recognize the fact that
O'Keefe had attempted to beguiIe him.
We'll put 1t In writing, them" said
Ellington O,Keefe. They did. After
lengthy conversation one Of the two
men went ashore. and one returned to
Monroe.

on pivot like piano stool. Here he
would sit for hours, turning backward
and forward, and admiring himself in
the mirrors. Gorgeous robes were in
a neighboring room, and In the course
Of a day he would change his garments
score Of times.
His admiration Of himself in the
mirrors was sometimes varied by elab-
crate banquets, to which only women
were invited, and which are said to
have resembled the Thracian mysteries.
They were attired as Bacchantes, and
he presided, crowned with roses. In
i've years he sauandered 7,000,0a0
