 She looked at me from the corner of her eyes.

 "Then, again, goodby."
 She waved her hand, smiling, and was lost fin the crowd.

 Suddenly I remembered Martigny.
 'I'll be back in a minute" called, and ran up the gang plank. Has NJ. Martigny left the ship yet?" inquired of the first steward I met.
 ''Martigny?' he repeated.
 "The sick gentleman in 375," I prompted.
 "Oh, yes,' he said. "I do not know" !"
 well, no matter. I'll find out my self.''
 mounted to the upper deck and knocked at the door of 375. There was no response. After a moment tried the door. but 1t was locked. The win dow. however. was partly open, and, shading my eyes with my hands, I peered inside The stateroOm was empty.
 A kind of panic seized me as turned away. Had he indeed seen through my artifce? In attempting to blind him had I merely uncovered my own plan, brand my cheeks burned at the thought - was he so well intrenched that he had no fear of me? Were his plans so well laid that it mattered not to him whither went or what did? I passed a moment of heartrending uncertainty l saw quite clearly what a little. little chance of success we had. But shook the feeling of. sought the lower deck and inquired again for MaFtigny. At last the ships doctor told me that he had seen the sick man safely to a carriage and had heard him order the driver to proceed to the Hotel Continental.
 And frankly. Mir. Lester" added the doctor. ''I am glad to be so we'll rid of him It is most fortunate that he did not die on the voyage I turned away with a lighter heart Prom a dying man there could not be much to fear So I hunted up MT Royce and found him, finally, endeay' oring to extract some information from a superciIious 0flcial

compartment two minutes before the hour.
 Then, in that first moment of inac- tivity, the fear of Martigny came back upon me. Had he really gone to the ho- tel? Had he deemed us not worth watching. or had he watched? Was he on the train with us? Was he able to follow?
 looked out cautiously from the win dow, up and down the platform, but saw no sign of him, and in moment more we rattled slowly away over the switches.
 An hours run brought us to Beuze- vile, where we were dumped out, to- gether with our luggage. in little frame station. An official informed us that we must wait there three hours for the train for Les Ifs. Beyond that he could not say.

 "Thirty-two kilometers altogether" said NIT. Royce. That's about twenty miles. Why can't we drive. LesterT

 The road was smooth and level, and in an hour and a half from Beuzeville we reached Les Ifs. and here we stopped for a light supper. We had cause to congratulate ourselves that we had SC cured a vehicle at Bonneville, for we learned that no train would start for Etretat until morning. The damage wrought by the storm of two days be fore had not yet been repaired.
 Luckily for us, the moon soon arose, so that we got forward without much difficulty. though slowly. and an hour before midnight we pulled up trium- phantIy before the Hotel Blanquet. the principal inn of Etretat

CULTIVATION OF zAPUPE
A New Industry That Flourishes
 In Mexico.
PLANT YIELDS QUICK RETURNS
It Supplies Fiber For Ropes, Fish Nets, Bags, Etc.-The Leaves Protect Themselves With sharp spines From RavaEes of fstock-Remarkably Free From Insect or Rodent Attacks.

From Insect or Rodent Attacks.
 Many thousand acres of land in the northern states of Mexico are being planted in the "zapupe" fiber plant, says a special dispatch from City of Mexico, Mexico, to the St. Louis Globe Democrat Many thousands of dollars of American capital has been invested in this new industry during the past few months. The new plant promises to become as noted in the fiber mar kets of the world as are henequin and manila.
 The fiber of the zapupe has been em- ployed by the Indians for hundreds of years in the manufacture of various crude articles, ropes, bags, fish nets. etc. Since foreigners took 1t up It has been found to possess many points of advantage over other fiber bearing plants. tract planted for experiment having given far more than expected results. The fiber has been submitted | to experts in New York, and most iat- l tering reports have been received. In appearance the zapupe leaf is sim | liar to the leaf of tine henequin, which made milllonaires in Yucatan and Cam peche. However, it is not so heshy and a good dead longer. Henequin will give more fiber to the leaf, but not to the plant The fiber should be white. highly flexible and strong. One of the greatest advantages of zapupe fiber in making ropes Is that these ropes do not readily kink or mildew when exposed E to moisture, giving them the quality of running smoothly through pulleys and other tackle.
 Leaves may be cut from the zapupe \ the third year after planting. most oth- CT fiber plants requiring from five to seven years. For two or three years the plant will give over 100 leaves per year. but the number gradually drops to about eighty. and this number is re tained for fifteen years consecutivelT- | Each plant will yield annually from two to four pounds. dependent upon the conditions and care given the plants. The fiber experts estimate that the fiber Is worth from to cents. | gold. per pound. Estimates made st ' the City of Mexico and based on the price of IaboT give the cost of produc- tiO1. including delivery to slipping vharfs. at from 2 to 3 cents pG pound

oonditian1 These leaves are cut four times year, each plant yielding an average of twenty or twenty-five leaves at the cutting.
 During the first two years the zapupe plantation has to be kept clear of weeds, which might stop the growth of young plants. After this the shade of the plants is enough to stop the growth of weeds. The leaves are pro vided with sharp splnes, which insure them from the ravages of stock.
 Machinery can be had at cost of from $500 to S3,000 gold The cheaper machines are capable of cleaning about 3,O00 leaves in ten hours, while the lat ter will take care of 100000. While 1t is a very hardy plant. the zapupe does best on sandy soil which is high enough to be we'll drained. Shady and wet locations are fatal to it's growth. From October to March, the dry sea- son, is the best for planting. as vege- tation is not so rank owing to lack of rain. Drought is not apparently in- furious to the plant, or A heavy rain fall. zapupe is also remarkably free from insect or rodent attacks.
 scions for planting cost from 1Is cents to cents, Mexican money. each, vary ing according to size and quality of the scion. Land suitable for zapupe plantations can be had for from 8 to Sa Mexfcan currency

TEMPERANCE.

There has been no more sgnifican
occurance in America for many years
past than the recent unveiling in the
National Capital at Washington of the
statue of Frances E. Willard. Why
should the great State of Illinois,
with the illustrious names of her
many great sons illuminating the
pages of her brilliant history as q
State, pass over them all and select as
her one and only representative to 60
in this great statury hall of nation
not man but woman? And why
among her many luxurious and noble
women should Frances E. Willard be
singled out as the one whose name and
work should be thus honored? We
might answer by saying: Because
she is the uncrowned queen of Ameri-
ca. but why has she declared to be
our 'uncrowned queen?' What
work did she do to MAKE her worthy
of this des 'gnation? 70 answer this
question would be to PRESENT a study
in the history of Chriltian sociology
