sale Business of Carson,

to succeed Mr.. f. w. Sewall as head

ans ability as an experienced ana
thorough office man is too well known
in this city to need comment
Mr.. Gordon, in speaking of the tu-
ture, said he was not prepared to state
positively but thought it more than
likely that at the end of the fiscal year
and the annual meeting of the stock
holders next April, the business or
Carson, Sewall e Co. and the Gordon
Sewall Grocery Company would be
consolidated and the capital stock in
creased to something like half mill
ion dollars.
The calling of Mr.. Gordon from
Bryan to Houston, a city filed with
the brightest and most progressive
business men in Texas, to take the
lead in a business of such magnitude.
ond In Toxic he place Of man so emf
rent in the business world as the late
q. w. Sewall, is no small honor. and
on honor that does not come to men
bv chance nor the vicissitudes of for
tune. There is a reason for it, a great
underlying cause, which summed up
in few words, is that he has paid
the price" Forgetting himself in the
busy battle of life schooling himself
in the strictest business principles
with unauestioned integrity, and with
singleness of purpose he has pressed
on toward the mark of the high call
ing and has won. This recognition OF
his superior ability by the business
world is but a fitting tribute to the
gallant fight he has made.

THE AVIATION MEET

in its infancy. MY whole aim is to
improve it, and make it useful. | hard

Jose he had occasion to visit Santa

CHAPTER II.
Tho Man Of Action,


The conference that followed in the
quiet Of Mrs. Missioners library
threw no light on the mystery of the
Maharanee's disappearance. Mrs.
Missioner was not of the fainting
type, and when she entered her Fifth
Avenue home, followed by Dorothy,
Sands, and Griswold, she went
straight to the room In which she
kept her Jewels.
Mrs. Missioner herself switched on
the lights to their full radiance. She
fastened across the room, her opera
cloak slipping from her white shout.

gloved fingers whirled the little knob.

himself to gathering them from the

The millionaire slipped a banknote

Griswold, as he moved to let the
usher pass, stepped backward with
such abruptness as to drive his heel
sharply down upon something that
slipped under his tread like a peach
kernel. In the very moment when

scrutable as his thoughts, he leaned
across the low partition, picked up a
pinch of the powder and the telltale
flake and laid them deferentially on
Mrs. Missioner's outspread fan.
"Your maid is more cautious" he
said, his smile softening slightly, "or,
1t may be-, your jeweler has made q

Mrs. Missioner did not faint She
only clutched the soft hand Of little

even as he began to stammer an apol-

words die on his lips as he saw the

silence Of Sands was grim, that Of
the Oriental suavely self-effecing.

Much has been written regarding
the many diseases carried over the
country by flies and mosquitoes New
Jersey first started the mosquito cam
paign. The house mosquito winters

shelters Of any kind, in shut-up rooms,
unheated homes, barns, manure piles.
under the loose bark of forest trees
and exposed roots. Only the females
pass the winter. Usually in May each
survivor lays about 200 eggs set up
on end and glued together in the
shape Of a raft, on the surface of
dirty pool, barrel, cesspool or in any
other dirty, stagnant water and then
dies. About three weeks later those
eggs are full of mosquitoes Many
broods hatch in single season, and
each brood must have dirty water for
the wrigglers to feed upon. In clean
water they die. Therefore the only
intelligent way to combat this pest
is to do away with the breeding
places. Kill every Rosauito seen,
keep them out Of doors, allow no pools
of stagnant water to stand about the
premises and in case there is a rain
barrel it should have a tight top. Cis-
terms, cesspools and pits for liquid ma
nure should be guarded. Cellars
should be funlig gated every fall and
spring. In case pools of stagnant wa
ter cannot be drained covering them
with low-grade kerosene will kill off
the wrigglers in them at the time, as
well as every female who comes to
