The hard sky Of southern Spain

months, arched over the brown hills
and tawny, russell rocks of Rio. The
mail came un the little Engl sh built

"Figs-of -the-Moor" growing between

went over to the office to get his let
ters. They were purely on business,
and sitting down at desk he had
them answered in quarter of an
! hour.
1t was with kind of Joy that he
left the Hotel Colon and the port of
Huelva, to put himself aga n at work.
But after week or two the barren
Wilderness Of Rio. Tinto and the high
set nesting towns, niched and pin

him. At the works all was going we'll

occupied him in the, absence of an an

The matter was this. There was a
mode of smelling which consisted in
Esprinkling the ore at particular
state with salt and water nothing
more and nothing less. The discovery
was supposed to improve the quality
of the product. Vic proposed to do
without this According to him the
salt only retarded the action. But.
then, a certain director was pad a
percentage on each ton manufactured
by this means. Naturally, the direc-
tor objected. and Vic had his battle
to fight against vested interests. He
was forbidden to dispense with 1t =
entirely
He solved it by sprinkling salt and
water over one ton per week and al
lowing that director to collect what
was due to him on this moderate out
put.

day month after, Vic Morris, press
ed by the needs of society and the
desire for a change. took the coast
train along with the Scots doctor.
Their purpose. as expressed by Nc

This sounded promising, but their ex-
PLOTS in this direction were not even
