six!
 And ali this time the islanders toiled as they had toiled for years. They reckoned in years, while the strangers cast up times account in weeks and called them years. Each day the brown men worked fin the mines piling gems into the vaults with a resolute- ness that never faltered.
 From London came disquieting news for all sides to the controversy. The struggle promised to be drawn out for years. perhaps. The lonely legatees, marooned in the far south sea, began to realize that even after they had spent their six months of probation they would still have months. even years. of waiting before they could touch the fortune they laid claim to. The islanders also were vaguely awake to the fact that everything might be tied up for years despite the provi- slons of the will. A restless, stubborn feeling of alarm spread among them. This feeling gradually developed itself into bitter resentment. Hatred for the people who were causing this delay was growing deeper and fiercer.
 Their counselor, the complacent enc my, held himself aloOf from the men and women that his charges were fighting. He met the two lawyers often, but nothing passed between them that could have been regarded as the slightest breach of trust. He lived like rajah in his shady bunga- low. surrounded by the luXuries of one to whom all things are brought indi- visible If he had any longing for the kind. he carefully concealed it. His indifference to the subtle though un- mistakable appeals of the two gentle women in the chateau was irritating in the extreme. When he deliberately, though politely declined their invita- tion to tea one afternoon their humilia- ton knew no bounds.
 Lady Deppingham and Mrs. Browne should not be misunderstood by the reader They loved their husbands I am quite sure of that-but they were tired of seeing no one else, tired of talking to no one else. Moreover. in support of this one sided assertion, they experienced from time to time the most melancholy attacks of jeal- ousy If Mrs. Browne in plain despair went off for a days ride with Lord Deppingham. that gentleman's wife was sick with jealousy. If Lady Az nes strolled in the moonlit gardens with Mir. Browne, the former Miss Bate of Boston could scarcely control her emotions. They shed many tears of anguish over the faithlessness of husbands. tears of hatred over the viciousness of temptresses. Their quar- rels were fierce. their upbraidings char acteristic. but in the end they cried and kissed and made up.'
 They did not know. of course, that the willy Britt, despite his own depres- sion, was all the while accommodating the most astounding lot of evidence to show that decided streak of insanity existed in the two heirs.
 If they could only be married in some way" was Britt's private lament to Saunders from time to time when despair overcame confidence.
 i've got ripping idea" Saunders said one day.
 Lets have it. You've always got 'em. Why not divide with mel" Cant do 1t just yet. I've been look ing up little matter. I'll spring it soon."

THE SALVATION OF LUM6ERToN.

Lumberton Headblock.
With half the cut-over lands on the
market at a price which would be at
tractive to home seekers, there would
be a tide of immigration turned to
South Mississippi which would make
Lumberton a great agricultural city.
Are you thinking of this seriously :
Are you doing your share to bring
this about or are you waiting for some
one else to do your work? When we
all realize that the lumber industry
shall soon be a thing of the past and
that the salvation of Lumberton and
surrounding country depends wholly
upon the development of our agricult'
ural resources then we can see the
Importance of advertising osg country

as the timber of this great mill con-
Germ is being utilized. Such road
would open up a valuable area for
agricultural purposes which would ap-
peal to homeseekers who are looking
for lands which will produce we'll I'M

kind of business the Commercial Club
felt that to allow the work to go out

best interests of the city and that they
would not be doing justice to the tax
payers. of the city and county If they
allowed the matter to pass unnoticed.
The sentiment of the News, on the
subject of patronizing home industries
is too well known to need further
elaboration. Suffice it to say that we
cannot build city by supporting
workmen in other states, when we
have the same class of workmen at

no accident about it.
The main basis of his success at last
was his persistency. A million men

We may think We have failed so
