 Gentlemen:-It gives me pleasure to acknowledge receipt of check for $100 in full settlement of claim under policy No. 651,515 for the loss of an eye.
 At the time of the, accident the doc tor thought that 1 had a slight injury to my eye and estimated my claim to be of ten days duration, and notified kimball t& Sanders to the effect and received my check, for said time then and there, later it developed that I had lost the entire sight of my eye and had signed full release on the first claim to the company.
 kimball& Sanders having learned of my losing my eye, took this matter at once without my even thinking that there was anything that could be done aLd handed me a check for $100 on the Bank of Pine Bluff.
 Words cannot express the gratitude that I have for Kimball & Sanders, managers for the Great Eastern Cas- Co.,, of New York and can highly recommend that company to any one not carrying a policy.

1T would be better If we were not

the inn looks comfortable"

remarks Barnes, who has noticed that
his fragile companion, unaccustomed
to the severe exercise of horseback
travel in the hot sun and sitting dust,
is somewhat fatlgued.
They ride up to the auberge, dis
mount and give their ponies to the
care of a Corsican boy, who leads
them away.

quacious landlord, who tells them, as
they demand a hurried meal, chat

being too early for many invalids at

kept from the mountains beyond by
fear of Rochini and Romano.

he goes to bring the food.

seriously.

cries Marina. Besides, you can shoot
your pistol"
Then may God curse me il l let
harm come to you for your devotion to

grateful eyes.
Then I'm safe" says the Corsican
girl simply, who has supreme faith in
the deadly craftsmanship of her es-
cort.
From the little garden outside, the
conversation of two rustics drifts in
to them. One is apparently a local
wool buyer, the other shepherd from
the neighboring mountain, who is bar
gaining with him for his shearing.
A moment later their host places
the dinner in front of them. Here are
trout from our Liamone, a fitch OF

chianti made from the vines outside.

Forced to a more moderate pace, the
two journey up the winding road be-

peoples. Soon after they pass into
the wooded hill lands, their path bor-

After little, the way grows wild

countryman slouches out and mount

street. Her message dispatched, Ma.
rina coming from the office, says:
How hurriedly that fellow went

asks Barnes, as he places her on her
pony.
Perhaps; Bernardo is astute. He
may guess that his message to you
brought you after him by water and
that you would find the yacht"
Then after him" says Burton, and
turning more to the east they follow
a rapid stream, passing the Sulphur
Baths of Guagno, where they can see
the diligence depositing patients at its
hospital for rheumatics.
They have not overtaken the man
but no one has passed them on the
road, their pace has been so rapid. The
peasants they have see' so many OF
them carrying guns that Barnes thinks
he is in the Rocky Mountains, have
received the usual greetings in the
