Archibald Terhune, a popular young
bachelor OF London. is suddenly aroused
from the aimless and indolent life he
leads, by the startling news from the law
firm OF Barnes. Wiloughby & Son. that he
is the heir to sheep farm in, Australia
bringing in an income of $4,000 year.
The bequest comes from an aunt, Mrs
Georgiana James of Essex. She makes
him her heir on condition that he marry
within ten days or forfeit the legacy to a
third cousin living in America. The story
opens at Castle wyckoff. where Lord Vim
hume. are discussing plans to find Ter
hume wife within the allotted time. 1t
seems that Lady Vincent is one of seven
persons named Agatha, all whom have
been close girlhood chums. She decides
to invite two OF them to a party at the
castle and have Archie there one of
the guests. Archie accepts the invitation
and the vincents discuss his prospects in
all their varied bearings. He listens to
their descriptions of the two Agatha's
and decides that the sixth shall be his
choice. Agatha first and Agatha sixth
arrive Mt the castle. Agatha the Sixth
strikes Archie as handpainted beauty.
Agatha First is a breezy American girl
Only eight days remain for Archie to Sc
cure a bride. Lady Vincent tells her hus-
band that Agatha the Sixth already cares
for Archie The plot starts working with
both girls unaware of the urgency of the
situation. Archie gains from Agatha
Sixth the admission that she cares for
him, but will require months time fully
to make up her mind.

Blue souls. for example. were super

were deceptive and not to be trusted.

VACCINES FOR
FARM ANIMALS
Treatment of Many Conditions In
Horses, as Well as Cattle
and Dogs, Has Given
Great Relief.

(By B. f. KAUPP, Colorado Agricultural
College.)
1t has been only a few months
since bacterial vaccine has been used
on the lower animals. The treat
ment of many conditions in horses,
as well as cattle and dogs by bac-
terial vaccines made from the germs
that produce the disease, has given
great relief.
1t was announced from the labor
atory of pathology of the Colorado
Agricultural college "a few months
ago that the preparation of vaccine
from the germs that cause the sup
puration in fistula and poll evil had
given great success in experimental
trials in our hospital practice. 1t
is also found that not only will this
vaccine effect cure In over 95
per cent. of the cases of fistula and
poll evil, when used by competent
men. but it is useful in pus forma-
tions following nail pricks, wire cuts,
or injuries of other kinds. Quittors
yield to its effects.
The chemical substance contained
within these germs stimulates the
cells of the body (when introduced
into it) to build up or form a SUBJ
stance that makes 1t impossible for
the germ to live in its presence.
The pus becomes less. thicker, wound
finally dry, and healing goes on unin-
terruptedly.
Likewise, vaccine made from the
germs that cause distemper in horses
effects a cure in a very few days.
and, II given at the initial stage of
the disease, without pus formation.
These vaccines are hypodermically
given at stated intervals. The body
will make its own repairs If only the
right stimulus is applied.

to the plan from them and more en-

begun to realize In spite of his anxi-
cites that cricket was cricket after

the formation of our party most un-
expectedly.
That something was a wire for Ter

Then you can't go with us to see

proach, as If just realizing what Ter.

again felt that the interest in Arch's

not from her, but from Agatha Sixth

Agatha First added: We'll. If you
must go, you must. But be sure to be

 Advantage to
 the City.

If the ladies of this community would only stop to consider the many advantages of the American Woman S League in addition to the beautiful Chapter house Pine Bluff will have built for it, as soon as the club has 150 members, the club would soon have enough members to entitle the city to the Chapter house.
 Men work most effectively when they work to definite purpose. This is an opportunity for the ladies. Here is proposition which makes all the magazine subscriptions in Pine Bluff count on the Chapter house. All you pay for is the mag adhesion that you get the maga- zines. The Chapter house and all the rest is the city,s premium.
 Frankly-you do not understand the plan, do you? You are willing to? You agree that the building would be nice to have? Why? It would be a pleasant place to go ev- enings. The concerts, the music, the educational and social opportun- ities-isn't this worth while? You are not asked to donate to this cause. The money is ready and will be sent here to be spent just as soon as 100 members have completed the membership requirements. The plan is much the same as life in surance. The magazines pay the premiums.
