INFORMATION

The Graf Printing Company has
made arrangements to give abso-
lutely free to some popular girl in
this or the adjoining counties, a
magnificent $500 piano. This
prize is worth striving for and
someone is going to get it sure.
We could not afford for a minute
to make such a proposition which
we will not back up and the condi-
tons of the contest are fully set
out in the advertisement to follow.
The young lady who secures the
greatest number of votes during
the next three months will get the
piano. How many votes she may
get depends upon the number of
friends she has and whether or not
they stand by her.
Besides the $500 piano as first
prize, we r giving extra prizes
before the contest closes.
Every girl in this territory has
an opportunity to win some of the
prizes. All that is necessary is
that their names be sent and we
will promptly send out the neces
sary subscription receipt blanks
and order with instructions how to
proceed.
Votes will be issued as stated in
the rifles of the contest for all sub

into his affections was CROWN
and light hearted girl. Quite
lated herself to his hobbies
and studies, became mistress
of his London house and fine
estate in Berkshire, and, by
operation of forces more effec-
tive in their way than any
Puritanic safeguards, lived
apart from the gay throng in
which she was eminently fitted
to take a leading place. Irene
offered, then, a somewhat
unusual type. Though her
grandfather's wealth and the
eagerness of a skilled maid
compelled her to take a pass
ing interest in fashions, she
was far more devoted to varl-
atoms in scarabs.
On this morning Irene was
astonished to perceive that
the yacht was speeding along
under canvas,-was already
far out at sea. Where Massa-
was yellow sandspit shone
yesterday were now blue
wavelets dancing in the sun.
and she knew that the Aphro-
dite was bound south.
She rang an electric bell,
and her maid came.
Yes. miss" said the girl,

night. AS soon as Mrs. Hax-
ton and Baron Won Kerber

"Yes, miss. He came with

miss, l haven't seen him; but

that the Baron went straight
to Mr.. Fenshawe's cabin, and
the order was given to raise
the anchor immediately

bridge for news, the first per-

meaning of this?"

A FTER eight hours of
~ dreamless sleep. Irene
Il awoke to a torpid but
blissful conviction that bed
is a most comfortable place
when bones ache and the
slightest movement is made
irksome by patches of chafed
skin. Her first precise recol-
lection was also pleasant. She
thought of the way in which
Royson had carried her in his
arms no. so many hours earl1-
er. and the memory banished
all others for many minutes.
If she smiled and blushed a
little, it may be pleaded that

sorry | ami" he murmured
thickly.
Irene dropped her hands.
Unless you are able to
squint, you didn't look at my
wrists at ALL" she exclaimed.
A gong pealed loudly from
the cabin, and she ran off.
Dick made for the chart
room, in front of which Tagg
was leaning on the rail and
gazing ahead; but was per-
emptorily ordered to 60 and
eat his breakfast, which he
had neglected. He obeyed in
silence. His friends kindli-
ness supplied an unconscious
but necessary tonic to his
system. Obviously, the sec
ond mate of the Aphrodite
had no business to trouble his
head about the symbolism of
rings worn by Miss Irene Fen
Shave. Yet he wished he
knew which was the engage
ment finger.
SHORTLY before noon Cap
tain Stump came on deck
to take the sun. This was a
semireligious rite with Stump.
Though the contours of the
coast drawn along two sides
of the Admiralty chart rem
dered solar observation quite
needless within sight of land,
he proceeded to ascertain the
yachts position according to
the formula, or at any rate
according to such portion of
it as applied to his rule of
thumb calculations. Having
pricked the chart and written
the log. Stump bit the end off
a cigar He was ready for a
gossip with Royson.

wa" he said.
We are bound for Alden.

ghost of an idea where engagement ring should
be carried, and he jumped to the conclusion that
the girl was wearing Why had he never seer
it before? he wondered. Was it hint, reminder
of the conventions? 1t is probable that Irene her
self would have been surprised if she had been told
that it was once the custom for engaged young wo
men to reveal their happiness by displaying ring

He hates being disturbed

She held out both her
hands, close together, with the
palms downward. Rovson
noticed instantly that she was
wearing a beautiful marquise
ring on the middle finger of
her left hand. The rules
which govern the use of these
baubles were beyond his ken.

crimes will depress all financial

only make times harder, and the

LOUISIANA GAME LAWS.

1t is estimated that the hunters
license Of 81 each will bring the
State a revenue of $4,000, this
year. The quail-hunting season
in Louisiana begins November l,
and Al 900 81 licenses have been
sold. In addition, about 500 $50
licenses have been sold to nom
residents.
At a recent session of the Game
Commission in New Orleans the
salary Of the President was fixed
at So 900 a year. The President,
Frank Nj. Miller, will hereafter
devote all of his time to the work
of enforcing the Game Law. Mr..
Miller was formerly President OF
the Audubon Society.
The Commission will appoint
an attorney whose duty it will be
to assist the Commission, also the
Parish WardenS.
The salary of a Parish Game
Warden was fixed at S66 66 a
month, and one or two parishes
may be combined under one War
den, without increase of salary.
A number Of Wardens will be ap-
pointed at the next meeting, Oc-
tober 26.
The Commission adopted the
following rules:
A Warden, to get an appoint
ment, must give the Commission
the benefit of his whole time in
the active prosecution of the work
of enforcing the game and fish
A Warden must not be less
than q years of age and under
so, with good sight and hearing
Each Warden shall be paid q
salary of S66 66 per month, pro.
vided the income from the parish
in which he works justifes such
an expenditure.
No Warden shall incur any ex.
penses except on the written per.
mission of this Board.
The Board places a minimum
levy of one hundred dollars or
each parish to defray the genera
expenses of the Board.'
