THE whole doctrine of Devoe
; Lead and Zinc Paint turns
on these three points:
j. 1t is all paint and true
paint.
2. II is strongest and goes
farthest paint.
4. Ii is full measure.
Because these three things
are true, Devoe Lead and
Zinc Paint takes least gallons
for the job looks best all the
time lasts longer.
There IS no such argument
for any other paint there is
no other such paint; the man
who uses Devoe gets the best
he can get, in paint.

TIMBER LOSSES.
Southern Railway Cooperating With
Government in Handling Pine
Beetle Situation.

Washington, D. c., March 27.-Re-
petition of the enormous losses sus-
tained by timber owners throughout
the South last year because of the
destructive pine beetle may be pre-
vented this year if timber owners
will simply burn the back of the dead
and dying pines from which the need
les have not yet fallen, the burning to
be done before May l, according to
DR.. A. D. Hopkins, who is in charge
of the forest insect Investigations for
the bureau Of entomology.
"The people of the South have an
opportunity to make final effort,
which if properly directed, will go
far towards controlling this pest, ;"
says Dr. Hopkins. "The beetle is now
passing the winter in the bark Of the
dead and dying pines from which the
needles have not yet fallen. These
trees should be cut down and the
bark of the main trunks destroyed by
burning before May 1 or the beetles
will come out with the warm wealth
er and take up their work of destruc-
ton. This object may be accomplish
ed without direct expense by turnin g
the infested trees into cordwood or
lumber, but it is essential that this
cordvood be burned with the bark
on before May 1 and that the slabs OF
the lumber with the bark on be burned
before that time. 1t is only necessary
to treat the dead or dying trees from
which the needles have not yet fallen.
The dead trees from which the need
les have fallen have been abandond
by the beetle and may be disregarded
in control operations.
Fearing that the danger from the
pine beetle is common to the whole
South, whose interests it considers
identical with theirs, the Southern
Railway company is cooperating with
the United States department Of ag-
riculture in warning Southern timber
owners of the threatened danger and
how, = o7av ho avoided

recalled how he had taken to seeing
things, earlier in the evening, and had
made me see them, too, dash it! One
thing I determined: whatever had to
be done with him, he should have the
finest of attention.
1 knew that I ought to telephone to
somebody or something, but dashed if
had any idea who or where. Oddly
enough, not soul seemed to have
been reused by the pistol shot, but l,
saw by the little clock that it was
close to three-the hour in bachelor
apartment house when everybody is
asleep, if they're going to sleep at all.
I decided that the best thing to do
first was to get into some clothes. And
with this thought was turning away,
when it occurred to me to make an
effort to see if poor Jenkins seemed
more rational now or had gone to
sleep.
I tapped upon the door. "Are you
asleep?" 1 asked softly.
A howl of positive terror came
back.
I'm a-keeping quiet" he cried, "but
don't let me hear your voice again,
or I'll jump right out of the window"
I shook my head sadly and tiptoed
into my room, where I slipped hur-
riedly out of the pajamas and into
some clothes, then back 1 went to
the telephone. 1t was on my little
writing-desk close to the door confin-
ing Jenkins.

Hello, central" I began, respond
ing to the operator II say, will you
give me information?
A loud shout suddenly sounded from
behind the closed door, and there
came frantic double-pounding OF
fists.
"Mr. Lightnut-Mr. Lightnut!"
screamed Jenkins. "Oh, Mr.. Light
nut, you're back-you're alive-I can
hear your voice! This is Jenkins, Mr..
Lightnut; yes, sir, Jenkins. They've
got me locked in"
I clapped the receiver on the hook
and sprang to the door, unlocking 1t.
jenkins almost tumbled into my arms.
By Jove, for a second l hung in the
wind, he acted so crazy still; at least,
it seemed so just at first. The fel-
low threw his arm about my neck
and laughed-laughed and cried, dash
it-and just wringing my hands and
carrying on Oh, awful! And even
when I got him into a chair, he just
sat there laughing and crying like a
jolly old silly, patting my hand, you
know and wiping his eyes, what time
they we're not devouring me.
Has he gone, sir?" he gasped hus-
kily. did he jump from the win
dow" But 1 waved all questions
aside.

right now
But I was not so sure as to him,
when I viewed the broken chair and
scattered fragments of glass-ominous
reminders of the scene through which
I had passed. And so, though l threw
the pistol on top of a bookcase, l
spent the rest of the night upon the
soft cushions of my big diVan.

twisted before the glass and sur
veyed the pajamas with much salts
faction. They looked jolly right from
every point. Moreover, with all their
easy looseness, there was not an inch
too much. They had comfortable,
personal feel.
Lucky thing they weren't made
originally for some whale like Jack
Billings-eh, Jenkins?" I commented
musingly.
Behind his hand Jenkins INDUCED in
what is vulgarly known as a snicker.
''Mr. Billings, sir, he couldn't get
one shoulder in 'em, much less "a
h'h-leg," he chuckled. They'd be
in ribbons, sir!"
I yawned sleepily, and Jenkins in
stantly sobered to attention. He held
his finger over the light switch as I
punched a pillow and rolled over on
the mattress.
CAL right" I said; push the jolly
thing out" And with a click dark
ness fell about me.
Good night, sir" came jenkins
voice softly.
Might" I murmured family, and I
was of.
Sometime, hours later, aWoke, and
with a devilish yearning for smoke.
It often takes me that way in the
night.
I climbed out in the blackness and
found my way into the other room. 1
Remembered exactly where had drop
he'd my cigarette case when we were
Ming with the pajamas by the table,
I found it without difficulty.
In the act of STOPPING for it, my

md felt a spot yield under the
pressure of my thumb. It was the
4 button controlling the bell to Jen-
kins' room.
Lucky thing he sleeps like a jolly
porpoise." I reflected.
/ pushed a wicker armchair into
the moonlight and breeze by a win
dow, and pulling flame to cigarette,
leaned back, feeling jolly comfy. For
the breeze was ripping and delicious,
and the delicate silk of the paJamas
flowed in little wavelets all the way
from my heels to my neck.
1 was just about dropping of, when
heard some one hurrying along the
private hall leading from the back.
Jenkins himself popped into the room.
did you ring, sir?' he inquired,
and advanced quickly.
And then, before could think about
1t to reply, ne halted suddenly, almost
pitching forward. Then, with a kind
of wheezy howl, he sprang to the wall.

dazzling electrolier.

demonstrated, half blinded.
I heard a swift rush across the
rugs, and the next thing knew I was
roughly jerked from out my chair;
strong fingers clutched my throat, and
found myself glaring into fright
ened but resolute face.
"Jen-Jenkins!" 1 tried to gasp, but
only a gurgle came.
1 was so taken unawares, knew it
must be some dashed dream. Per
haps another minute, and would
wake up. But he gripped me tighter
and shook me like rag.

"How did you get in here?"
