meeting. We can but name a few of

a member of the state board Of health;
THE Rural Field and It's Needs" by
Lecturer Graham of the Pomona
grange, who said that the field for
uplift in country life comprised, first,
better farming; second, better or more
even distribution of farm products;
third doing away with the amassing
of large fortunes: fourth organization
of farmers.
L. E. Buell., state secretary of the
Y. NJ. c. A.; took the same topic from
the side of character building An
other spoke on the various forces at
work for the betterment of country
life-namely, religious, educational and
industrial. Another speaker urged the
benefits of using the state travelling
libraries, and Professor French Of the
agricultural college presented the farm
and home reading courses and spoke

through the program. ut was a day in
some ways unique to u.s. says Jennie
Buell., lecturer of the state grange.
"The grange for forty. years has labor
ed along these lines within itself, but
here was recognition Of a new era
when organizations shall meet and
confer together as individuals do. Only
dimly yet is the significance of this

COVERING Books,

To cover paper bound books take
two pieces of cardboard a tiny bit
larger than book. Paste fly leaves
at front and back to cardboard,
which of course is outside. Then
take a strip of strong cotton cloth;
paste it down back of book; have it
wide, so it will cover about one inch
of each piece of cardboard, there
by joining the two pieces together.
Now put a cover of brown paper
over all, FASTING securely, and your
decorated cover goes over this. The
books may be covered with decorat-
ed silk, pique or duck if you paint
or embroider, but the simplest way
is to cover with tissue paper mot
crape). Paste pretty card on the
front and after cutting title. and

.ble's length. Now, here is a scheme that
strikes me as workable. At any rate,
lit offers forlorn hope. There is a
sharp bend in the creek just where the
tidal water ends. / fancy the launch
will float a little higher up, but we
must risk it. We will take her in, I'M
ship the mast, tie few boughs and
vines on the funnel, and not twenty
.searchlights will find u.s."
A rumble Of approving murmurs
Showed that he had scotched the drag
on. He continued rapidly:
mo vessel of deep draft can come
close in shore from the east. The
cruiser will have the Grand-pere rock
abeam within an hour, but to make
sure two of you will climb the ridge
and watch her movements. The rest
will load up every available inch OF
space with wood and water and food.
How can we win clear Of Fernando
lNoronha without fuel? 1t is hun
dred to one that the launch would not
steam twenty miles on her present
coal supply. Such as it is, we must
keep it for an emergency, even if we
are compelled to tear up the deck and
dismantle the cabin"
"Talks like a bookw snorted Coke.
Hozier was coolly reminding them of
those vital things which frenzy had
failed wholly to take into account.
Confidence was reborn in them.
Meanwhile here was the launch
thrusting her nose into the mud and
shingle Of this malevolent island.
To his further annoyance, San Bena-
vides, who depended on his compatriot
for a summary of the latest scheme,
asked Iris to accompany De sylvia and
himself to the hut.

IVA of light describe Il great arc il
~ E the sky But it was plain t.
be seen that it sprang from al
altered base. The warship was in mo
ton. She was about to steam around
the group of islands.
Boat and catamaran raced at once
for the launch babel of strange
oaths Jared the brooding silence
Alarm, almost panic, stirred mems
hearts and dubbed forth in wild
speech. Under pressure of this new
peril the instinct of self preservation
burst the bonds of discipline

AYE, aver came the chorus. "Shove

Dom Corria, being something of a
fatalist, did not interfere. He drew
San Benavides aside.
"All is ended" he said quietly. I'VE
shall never see Brazil again Salvador
meu! Carmela must find another lover,
it seems"
1t was left to Hozier to solve a prob
lem that threatened to develop into a
disastrous brawl. Danger sharpens a
brave mans wits, but love makes him
fey. To succor Iris was now his sole
concern. He swung a couple of the
excited sailors out of his way and
managed to stem the torrent of Coke's
futile curses.
"Give in to them he cried eagerly
"Tel them they are going ashore in
the creek. That will stop the racket.
If they listen to me can still find a
means of escape"
"Avast yelpin', you swabs" beloved
Coke. "D'ye want to let every bally
sojer on the island know where you
are? We're maxim for the creek. VIII

The head of the launch swung to-

loudly enough that all should hear

silenced the launch's engines.
"We are close in now," he said to
Coke after brief and noiseless drift
"Why not try hailf"

"Holla! Wer ruft?' was the gruff

~OKE and his merry men be-
M came pirates during the early
~ morning of Thursday Sept, 2.
! On Monday, Sept. 6, David
| Verify entered his office in Exchange
buildings, Liverpool, and ran a fever
ish glance through his letters to learn
If any envelopes bearing the planetary
devices of the chief cable companies
had managed to hide themselves among
the mass of correspondence. There
was no cablegram, of course. Dickey
Bulmer, who had become a waking
nightmare to the unhappy shipowner,
had said there wouldn't be-said it
twelve hours ago after wringing from
Verify the astounding admission that
Iris was on board the Andromeda. 1t
was not because the vessel was over
due that David confessed. Bulmer,
despite his siXty-eight years, was an
acute man of business. Moreover, he
was Blessed with retentive memory,
and he treasured every word of the
bogus messages from Iris concOcted by
her uncle.
The storm had burst unexpectedly.
Bulmer came to dinner, ate"and drank
and smoked in quiet amity until Da-
vid's labOring muse conveyed his
niece's latest "kind love an good
Wishes" and them
"Tell you wot," said Dickey, there's
oYpthnrs GNrn nd Inn on,
the surveyors report"
'There is" said Verify, knowing
that his guest and prospective partner
alluded to the new steamer in course
of construction on the Clyde.
swell, it won't be paid. You are
lynn about Iris. You've been lynn ever
since she disappeared from Bootle.
Show nue. 'er letters an their envelopes,
an I'll find the money. But Of course
you can't. They don't exist"
Then David, set down the untasted
wine and told the. truth. Not all-that
was not to be dreamed Of. In the
depths of his heart he feared Bulmer.
The old mans repute for honesty was
widespread. He would fling his dear
est friend into prison for such swim
die as that arranged between Coke and
the shipowner.
Dickey rose from the table. His
movements showed his age that night.
III think it over David" he said.
There's more in this than meets the
eye"
So here was Verify with no shred of
hope in his mind that his one time
crony would raise a finger to save him
from bankruptcy.
The office boy announced visitor,
evidently not the terrible Bulmer, since
he said:
"Gennelman to see yer, sir"
100 is it," growled the shipowner.
"Gennelman from the noospaper."
A quiet hammered young man ap-
peared.
May / ask If you have received any
private news of the Andromeda?' he
began.
David creaked round in his chair.
as she >lostT said he in a strangely
subdued tone.
IL fear she is. But there is much
more than an ordinary shipwreck at
issue. Several kilograms of the gray
est import have reached us this morn

questions you ought to read them.
They are in type already, and l have
brought you the proofs. Here is the
