CHAPTER V.
t|9WO of the men walked close be-
side the door, one of them bear
ing lantern. They conversed
- in low tones and in Il language
which Beverly could not understand.
After awhile she found herself analyz-
ing the garb and manner of the men.
She was saying to herself that here
We're her first real specimens of Grau-
stark peasantry, and they We're to
mark an ineffaceable spot in her MEM
Dry. They were dark, strong faced men
of medium height, with fierce black
eyes and long black hair. AS no two
were dressed alike, it was impossible
to recognize characteristic styles of at
tire Some were in the rude, baggy
costumes of the peasant as she had
imagined him; others We're dressed in
the tight fitting but dilapidated uni
forms of the soldiery, while several

partly oriental There We're hats and

the bands, others without The man
nearest the coach Wore the dirty gray
uniform of an army officer, full Of
holes and rents, while another strobe
along in a pair of baggy yellow trou-
sers and dusty London dinner jacket.
All in ALL it was the motliest band Of
vagabonds she had ever seen. There
were at least ten or dozen in the par
ty. While a few carried swords, all
logged the long rifles and crooked dag
gers of the Tartars.
Aunt Fanny Beverly whispered.

1t had come to her like a flash that a
subsequent emergency should not find

dropped, and her eyes were like white

Now, just you pay 'tention to me, and
I'll tell you something qneer Get my
revolver right away and don't let those
men see what you are doing" While
Aunt Fannyss trembling fingers went
in search of the irearm, Beverly out
lined the situation briefly, but explicit

dug slyiy into one of the bags and
pulled forth Il revolver. Under ordi
nary circumstances she would have
been mortally afraid to touch it, but
not SO in this emergency. Beverly
showed the weapon into the pocket of
her gray travelling jacket.
Il feel much better now, Aunt Fan
n.y." she said, and Aunt Fanny gave
vast chuckle
"Yaas, ma'am, indeed-yo' highness,' -
she agreed suave1y.
The coach rolled along for half an
hour and then stopped with a sudden
jolt. An instant later the tall driver
appeared at the window, his head I'M
covered. A man hard by held a lam
tern.
"Qua yandos ar deltanet, yos serent."
said the leader, showing his white
teeth in triumphant smile His ex-
posed eye seemed to be glowing with
pleasure and excitement.
"What?" murmured Beverly hopeless
~. A puzzled expression came into
his face; then his smile deepened and
his eye took on knowing gleam

Tomorrow we, too, abandon the place,
SO our fortunes may run together for
some hours at least. There is but lit

ment, and there is none of the COM
forts of a palace. Yet princesses can
no more be choosers than beggars
when the fares in one pot. Come,
your highness, let me conduct you to
the guest chamber OF the Inn OF the
Hawk and Raven"
Beverly took his hand and stepped to
the ground, looking about in wonder
and perplexity.
Il see no inn,'' she murmured appre-
hensiyely.
Look aloft, your highness. That
great black canopy is the roof; we are
standing upon the floor, and the dark
shadows just beyond the circle of light
are the walls of the Hawk and Raven.

RENT PAYS FOR LAND
Fertile Sections of the Southwest
Where Land Sells for SIS and
Rents for SIS Per Acre


One of the remarkable things about
Eastern Arkansas and Northern
Louisiana is the fact that cleared
land rents for SIS per. acre cash, and
can be bought for $3.50 to SIS per
acre: 1t costs from So to $40 an acre
to clear it. Other improvements nee
sary are slight and inexpensive.
The soil is rich alluvial, or made.
1t produces bale of cotton per acre,
worth S45 or 500. This accounts for
such as corn, small grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits thrive as well.
Alfalfa yields four to six cuttings,
a ton TO the cutting, and brings $40
to $40 per ton.
and in Texas as we'll, the rolling or
hill land is especially adapted to
stock raising and fruit growing.
Land is very cheap, S. to $40 per
acre; improved farms $40, SIS to SIS
per acre.
High, rolling, fine water-it is nat
urally adapted to stock and fruit
raising. Can be bought as low as
So per acre.

 like this place very much, and think the prospects for improve ment'are very good. We are 40 miles from San Diego and s5 from Los Angeles. on the ocean front where there Is not much difference between summer and winter. I believe $ was the warmest this summer and not quite to the freezing point last winter and very little frost. But we can see the snow in the win ter nearly all the time. It is cool at night and lots O. sunshine during the day. No rain since June and do not expect much until November ol December, There IS lots of game such as ducks and quail and out a little farther some deer and mountain quail. have not tried my luck this season, but last winter got lots of duck and doves but could not hit a quail at all. l like to fish better as don't have to walk so much. This place IS small, only about 1000, and maybe less, but there has been quite lot of good houses built this year, all. good substan- tial ones. We built our own, a two story, eleven rooms, fitted for a rooming house, and have had good success so far with 1t and like 1t very much. am working Tor the Santa Fe k. k. as baggageman and freightman and like the work very well.

The States Opinion.

Mr.. Manning's platform, briefly
stated in connection with the announ-
cement Of his candidacy for governor,
is, with the exception Of the dis
pensary plank, an excellent one from
our point of view. The candidacy of
Mr.. Manning, personally popular with
so many on both sides Of the dispen-
sary question, promises to be of
more than passing interest in the cam
paign Mr.. Manning is an advocate
of the dispensary because he believes
if properly enforced along the line
proposed in the Raysor-Manning bill
it will "the best so!HEion' That May
be true, but the Eayscr- Manning bill
is a promise, just as every other
amendment to the dis.,rasary law has
been promise, bit tie realization u
betterment has never come and the
thing is not Of a nature to lend itself
to publication. And the people Of
South Carolina are not going to quietly
accept the dispensary. The thing has
been revealed to them as it is. If Mr..
Manning is elected governor, that ac-
complishment will not result from
votes Of dispensary advocates. The
majority is against the system.-Co-
