'tYou weren't saying anything of the
Sort" she contradicted, calmly. How

Maitland experienced an instan-
taneous sensation as of furtive guilt,
decidedly the reverse of comfortable.
He shuffied uneasily. There was a
brief silence, on her part expectant,
on his, blank. His mental attitude re-
mained hopeless; for some mysterious
reason his nonchalance had deserted
him in the hour Of his supermest
need; not in all his experience did he
remember anything like this-as awk-

his calves; vagrant breeze disturbed
the tree tops and died of sheer lassi-

of his mind. Listening intently, he
glanced with covert suspicion at the

'Indeed?" She considered him with
pardonable dubiety.
Instantly his purpose became as
adamant.

USE LEAF AS A sTlMuLANT,
How Coca Is CuItlvated-Preventlve
of Sleep and Fatigue.

Coca is the South American invig.
GRANT. The shrub from which the coca
leaves are obtained grows under IA.
vorable conditions to height Of about
four meters. 1t Is cultivated in Peru
and Bolivia.
AT the time the crop is gathered
the seeds are sown in beds, when they
terminate and grow, and in two
months the growing plants reach a
height of about a foot. The leaves,
grown in the proper sunlight and
shade, are yellowish, small and thick.
This is the kind of leaf that is pre-
ferred for chewing by persons using
the leaf as a stimulant, fortiiier and
preventive of sleep and fatigue in the
performance of arduous work, mas
much as they prevent rheumatism.

ing in mines that contain much water
Indians who masticate the leaves OF
this plant can work "a hours without
eating or sleeping.
Coca leaves are used by the natives
when engaged in long and fatiguing
Journeys and by soldiers when subject
to hardships and privations. They
may be used with all kinds Of food and
are said to cure dyspepsia, either
taken as an infusion In the shape of
tea or by masticating the leaves. The
life of the plant when perfect is 80
years.

But the sailors were determined to

This chap fished up a cook book
from the bottom of his sea chest, ran
over the pudding recipes, and chose
one that began:

"He made a pudding after this reci-

Maitland stoutly denied the hideous
insinuation. 81 am only too glad
She balanced herself lightly .upon
the step. He moved nearer and as
sured himself of firm foothold on the
pebbly river bed. She sank gracefully
into his arms, proving considerable
weightier, in fact, than he
had anticipated. He was somewhat
staggered; it seemed that he embraced
countless yards of ruffies and things
ballasted with (at a shrewd guess)

Then, recovering his equilibrium, he
incautiously glanced into her eyes. And
lost it again, completely.
Il was mistaken" he told himself;

She held herself considerably still,
perhaps wondering why he made no
move. Perhaps otherwise; there is
reason to believe that she may have
suspected-being a woman.

The monosyllable was heavy with

meanings, in truth. Maitland debated
the most obvious. Did she conceive
he had insinuated that it was his habit
to ferry armfuls Of attractive feminini-

midnight moon?
No matter. While he thought 1t

tained his own good will. For one lit
tie moment he despised himself hearth
ly-one little moment OF clear insight
into self was his. And forthwith he
began to mediate apologies, formu-
lating phrases designed to prove ade-
quate without sounding exaggerated
and insincere.
By this time he had reached the
car, and-through sheer laundering
luck-at once stumbled upon the seat
OF trouble-a clogged valve in the car
bureter. No serious matter; with the
assistance of repair kit more than
commonly complete, he had the valve
clear in jiffy.
News of this triumph he shouted to
the girl, receiving in reply an "Oh,
thank you'll" so fervently grateful that
he felt more guilty than ever.
Illuminating unhappily on the end Of
contemplated abasement, he waded
round the car, satisfying himself that
there was nothing else out of gear;
and apprehensively cranked up.
Whereupon the motor began to hum
contentedly; all was well. Flushed
with this success, Maitland climbed
aboard and opened the throttle trifle.
The car moved. And then, with
swish, a gurgle, and watery whoosh!
1t surged forward, up, out of the river,
gallantly up the slope.
At the top the amateur chauffeur
shut down the throttle and jumped
out turning to face the girl. She was
by the step almost before he could
offer hand to help her in, and as she
paused to render him his due need of
thanks, it became evident that she har-
bored little II any resentment; eyes
shining, face aglow with gratitude,
she dropped him droll but graceful
| courtesy.
you are too good!" she declared
with spirit. rHow can thank your"
you might" he suggested, looking
down into her face from his superior
height, "give me bit of lift-just
couple of miles up the road Though"
he supplemented eagerly, IF you'd
really prefer, l should be only too
happy to drive the car home for your
1.-TWO miles, did you say?"
He fancied something odd in her
tone; besides, the question was super
fiuous. His eyes informed with puz-
element, he replied: "Why, yes-that
much, more or less. l live"
"Of course" she put in quickly, 'Tll
give you the lift-only too glad. But
as for your taking me home at this
hour, can't hear of that"
"But-"
Besides, what would people say?"
she countered, obstinately. "Oh, no."
she decided; and he felt that from this
decision there would be no appeal;
II couldn't think Of interfering with
your arrangements"
Her eyes held his for a single in
stant, instinct with mischief, cleaning
with bewildering light from out face
schooled to gravity. Maitland expe.
rienced sensation Of having grasped
after and missed a subtlety of al.
lusion; his wits, keen as they were, re.
coiled, baffled by her finesse. And the
more he OWNED that she was playing
with him, as an experienced swords
man might play with an impertinent
novice, the denser his confusion grew.
But l have no arrangements" he
stammered.
