than the storekeeper. Whoever oppos-
ed Pedro Diaz In any Of his cherished
schemes must die. He was not I'VE
minutes deciding on the death Of Britt.
That morning the young man had
ridden away across the desert, stretch
Of twenty long, hot miles, to strike the
railroad on the other side and order
further supplies by telegraph. The ride
was twenty miles over and twenty
miles back. He would cover the dis
tance In day, but 1t would be late in
the evening when he returned.
81 will meet and kill him az h0 re-
turns" decided Pedro, and when dark.
ness fell he eluded observation as much
as possible and rode out on the desert
There was no trail across the sands.
He who would hold a straight course
must depend upon the compass, anu he
must consult it often. There was fair
starlight-light enough to see his rival
many rods away. The sky was clear
Of those scudding clouds which might
be taken as warnings that the wlIirl-
winds were being born in the cold air
Of the gulches, and no noise came from
the pines to the cedars.
When Pedro had made f1ve miles
straight out from the base he pulled
In his horse and sat and waited, his
face to the west and his ears alert for
the slightest sound. For an hour he
waited, and then Of a sudden q cold
chill struck the back Of his neck. He
whirled his horse about with an oath
on his lips.
''It is the sand stormr' he muttered
as he jumped to the ground.
He had blanket for himself and one
for his horse. The animal lay down at
the word and suffered his head to be
wrapped, and just as the first sharp
grains began to fly the man snuggled
down beside the animal and muffied his
head and swore.
He had seen hundred sand storms
on that desert. They came with a pun
and went the same way. In five min
utes he would be up and watching
again, but when Ave minutes had
passed the gusts were stronger. At
the end Of ten they began circling and
running across the sands like wraiths.
They also dug deep into the sands,
and when they met with an obstruc-
ton they covered it in. Man and horse
were soon in danger Of suffocation and
had to struggle up to throw off the
weight. They were just in time to be
caught by circling breeze and spun
around as If they were straws, and
when the man was flung on his face
at last and covered a foot deep in an
instant the horse uttered a neigh Of
terror and galloped heavily away.
''It will pass, it will pass, and will
have my revengey' muttered Pedro as
he stood up with his back to the blast,
but it did not pass.
He was flung this way and that, car
ried along or left half senseless on the
sands, and not for a full hour did the
wind scream out its goodby to the
desert and return to its sleep. Then the
surface Of the desert was smooth again.
and the man who came riding from the
west could not tell that under his
horses feet lay human body buried
two feet deep. There had been a Pedro
Diaz. The sands Of the Mojav0 had
blotted him out.

Letter to John Foster,
STAFFORD Snrinps. Conn.

Dear Sir: A big mill.owner, Spar
tansburg, s O., wanted 5000 gallons
of paint, and bought by price; paid
cents less than ours; got "lead-
and-zinc" paint; bat the lead was
sulphate of lead, not carbonate. Sui
phate costs about half; and covers
about half.
That paint was adulterated about
six times as much as the 5 cents paid
for. He "saved'' 5 cents; and it
cost him 80.
Oh no; it cost him more than that /;
we forgot the labor. Can't work it
out exactly; don't know how long
it'll wear.
Short-measure besides; that alone
was twice as much as his "saving"
3 cents.
It was thin, too; some loss there !;
don't know how much.
There was too much dryer in it.
The maker made something on that {;
he didn't.
Taking it altogether, he didn t make
much by that cents.
Go by the name: and the name is
Devoe lead -and-zinc.
Yours truly

night raging in the forward hold OF the Olo
Dominion Line steamer Hamilton and II the
hold does not become too hot before morning
no further attempt will be made TO extingulsH

mediate danger.
The flames were discovered to-day while the
ship was between Hog Island and Winter quar-
ter Iightship, on her way from Norfolk TO
New-York, after leaving here at o'clock TINS
morning with a large miscellaneous cargo.
When dense clouds of smoke were seen COM
ing out of the forward hold the ship was at once
stopped and the crew set to work to fight the
fire. The matches were opened and steam was
poured into the hold. but the fire was so hot the
crew were driven back. They. however worked
heroically and succeeded in getting the fire un-
der partial control
AS Norfolk was closer than New-York, Cap
tain Boaz turned the Hamilton back and raced
for port. All the way in the crew fought the
flames and when the ship doclSed they were
exhausted.
By means of the wireless on the Hamilton the
local office was advised of the fire and tugs
met the steamer. A volunteer crew relieved
the regular crew of the Hamilton and the Mer
ritt Wrecklng Company furnished a steamer.

WOMAN TO FIGHT MACHINE
School Commissioner in Westchester
Determined on Third Term.

The Republican organization of Westchester
County is confronted with the delicate problem
of whether not the third term rule shall apply

Of the second district. Miss Berbert is serving
her second term. She is the only woman who
has ever been elected to any office on the Re
publican county ticket. AS commissioner Miss
Berbert has been popular among the teachers of
the county.
When Miss Berbert heard of the plan to drop
her she said:
They can't fool me. This third term business
is only a scheme they have to lay me on the
shelf. I won't let them "Oslerize' me without a
struggle. I'll get out and rally my friends, and
some one will think that he has touched live

Miss Berbert has learned that Mr.. Tompkins
at Hastings is at the head of the movement to
beat her for the nomination She says that
through her brother she is going to contest the
primaries which he held last week, because he
had only one set of tickets printed, which the
names of persons favorable to her denomination
were left off. Miss Berbert says she knew what
was going on because she was outside the build
ing while the primary being held Many
Of her friends. she says, went away without

National Committeeman and chairman Of the
Westchester Republican Committee. Mr. Ward
scented trouble and decided that he would keep
aloof. He wrote Miss Berbert consoling letter.
Her dealings with John J. Brown, the Re-
publican leader of White Plains. were equally
unsatisfactory. He told her that under the un-
written law Of the party regarding third terms
she would have to be dropped
What do 1 care about these silly political
rules?" retorted Miss Berbert They are only an
excuse you politicians have when you want to
get rio Of people you don't want The people Of
my district should have something to say. They
have voted for me twice and will do so again if
they get the chance Why don't you put your
third term screws on those who have been hold
ing office since I girl?"
Miss Berbert went from Mr.. Browns office
more than ever determined 10 fight. There are
about three hundred women teachers in West
