Warning to Everybody

AS a word Of warning to every
body, attention is called to the
fact that chimneyS and flues,
both of residences and business
houses, become clOgged and fill

and now is the time that they
should be looked after, and a lit
tie time spent in examining them
now may prove a preventive of 1.
great loss by fire later in the
season. Another place that should
be examined is the smoke stack
of the furnace, leading from the,
furnace to the chimney, as many
times those pipes rust out during
the summer months. while the
heater is standing idle and are
not noticeable except upon close
examination. A word to the wise

ly beside one wheel; MT. Saunders took his post at the other. The serv- ants came along behind in the second cart. Far ahead, like hounds in full cry, toiled the unwilling luggage bear CTS. From the windows and doorways of every house, from the bazaars and cafes, from the side streets and mosque approaches, the gaze of the sullen populace fastened itself upon the little procession. The town seemed ominously silent.
 At last they came to the end of the sunlit street and plunged into the shady road that ascended the slope through what seemed to be an abso- Iutely unbroken though gorgeous jun gle. The cool green depths looked most alluring to the sun baked travellers. They could almost imagine that they heard the dripping of fountains, the gurgling of rivulets, so like paradise was the prospect ahead. Hady Agnes could not restrain her cries of delight ed amazement.
 'It's like this all over the island, your ladyship," volunteered MT. Bowles, nopping his brow in a most unmilitary way, s"except at the mines and back there in the town.'
 Where are the mines?'' asked Dep bingham.
 ''The company's biggest mines are seven or eight miles eastward as the crow flies, quite at the other side of the island. Itsvery rocky over there, and there's no place for landing from the sea. Everything is brought overland to Arafat and placed in the vaults of the bank. Four times year the rubies and sapphires are shipped to the brokers in London and Paris and Vienna. It's quite a neat and reg ular arrangement, sir.''
 But I should think the confounded natives would steal everything they got their hands on.''
 What would be the use, sir? They couldn't dispose of a single gem on the island, and nothing is taken away from here except in the company's chests. Besides, my lord, these people are not thieves They may kill people occa- sionally, but they are quite honest, be- 1ieve me. And, in any event, are they not part of the great corporation They have their share in the working of the mines and in the profits. MT. Wyckholme and MT. Skaggs were hon. est with them, and they have been just as honest in return.''
 'I should think they'd be terribly tempted" said Lady Agnes. 'They look so wretchedly poor"
 ''My lady," said Bowles, there are but four poor men on the island-my- self and the three Englishmen who op- crate the bank. There isn't poor man, woman or child among the na-

They'll be here in a jiffy, my lady" Then, turning majestically to the hud- dled natives, he waved his slender stick and said: Lively now! No loaf ing! Livelyv'

The RIgsbee Road by West Durham Up
AGAIN.

hyoius
The county commissioners met
in regular session yesterday for
the consideration of the regular
business of the county.
The most important matter to
claim their attention at the ses-
sion Monday was the Rigsbee
road matter, which some time ago
created much interest. At that
time it was decided to build the
road along the line of the origi-
nal route and this has been done.
Now the question has taken
another turn and an order has
been passed that if Mr.. w. A.
Erwin will decide to build the
new cotton mill that is soon to be
erected, in West Durham, the
county will build this cross the
country road from mud creek to
connect with the West Durham
road.
Other matters claimed the at
tention of the board and Monday
and today were busy days with
them.
