mile the pony cantered, until the
white and yellow houses of the post
looked like mere tiny boxes set up
on the plain. There was water at a
certain turn, Vivien remembered,
and she wanted drink herself. AS
she reached the pool she slipped from
the saddle. giving the pony it's chance
to drink first. The noise Of other
hoofs beating up the opposite path
startled her, and instinctively she
drew her own pony back from the
water into the shelter of the trees.
They were both Indians She knew
that as soon as she saw their rough,
ungraceful ponies. One was a wo-
man, and she was young. She slipped
from her saddle before her pony
came to a full stop, let it go free and
scrambled up the bank above the
drinking pool, while her companion
waited.
Vivien watched, holding her breath,
one hand over the pony's nose. The
suuaw bent over the stump of light
ming blasted pine tree, remained for

mounting in silence, and both depart

She went up to the pine stump and
reached down into its hollow. There
were dry leaves, and beneath small
rocks, freshly placed there, but under
both her hand came in contact with
something foreign, something sharp
and queer to the touch. She lifted it
out, held it up to the light and gave
a quick gasp of amazement. Then,
returning, she turned about and made
for the post.
It was mid-afternoon before she
reached the post, too late to stop the
detachment that had already started

FLED FROM CONGO CANNIBALS
Superintendent Of Rubber Plantation
Saw a Cauldron He Feared Might
Be for Him.

1t is not every day that man ar
rives in this town who has looked into
boiling cauldron which cannibals
held in preparation for him. But such
a man came here the other day from
Antwerp on the Red Star liner Vader
land. He was Emile Van Baelen, a
Belgian, who was in charge of a rub
Der plantation in the Congo and had
the small task of bossing ten thousand
black men.
Mr.. Van Baelen knew all about the
rubber business, but he wanted to
learn something of the mineral treas
ures of the interior of the Dark Con-
tinent, so he ventured one day with
three servants on an expedition that
led two hundred miles from his camp.
He found gold and other rich depos-
it's in the interior, but as he was about
to return to camp he was surrounded
by a hundred dusky Dongalese. big
sayages, who consider human flesh a
food delicacy.
The servants fed and were captured
Mr.. Van Baelen stood his ground, and
as the savages approached him he
drew his revolver and dropped cou-
pie of them. The others were held at
bay. Strategy becoming his only hope
new, he said, he raised his hands, and
| addressing them in their own tongue
declared that he was q white god.
The blacks took him at his word and
instantly salaamed.
He did many things mysterious to
the tribe, such as lighting match
and rolling a great stone by lever,
| and suddenly he found himself their
adored guest. He was invited to
sleep in the hut of the king Of the
tribe, and a feast was prepared for
him. Fearing that he might have to
sample part Of one Of his missing
| servants, he escaped IN the night and
| rot back to his camp. He = on his
way t. Mexico to raise coffee.

A new six stand cotton gin with
seventy saws to the stand will be
erected in Lyford next year by r. H.
IDeyo e. Son. The announcement of
the building Of the new gin in time
TO take care of the 1918 cotton crop
was made today by r. F. Deyo who
ANNOUNCED that for this season he
will have a loader and cotton will be
loaded direct to the cars. The new gin
is made necessary in order to take
care Of their cotton buying bust
ness i'm which they expect TO indulge
heavily and alos because Of the in
creased acreage that they know will
be put in cotton next year.

built the new gin this year" said r.
II. Deyo today. GAS il is we will be
able to take ARE of our trade with
the loader and loading the cotton di-
rect to the car will be as convenient
to the farmer as unloading il at the
gin.

cotton this season up to a high figure.

BETTER RAILROAD ACCOMMODA.
TI0NS.

AS noted elsewhere in The Herald.
the Frisco, through its general pas
senger agent in Texas, G. W. Strain
Houston, has made a promise to pro-
vide a parlor a service on the main
line trains running between HOus-
ton and Brownsville, provided it does
not cost the company more than the
business would justify.
1t is to be hoped sincerely that the
company may find it possible to es-
tablish the proposed service. The
Brownsville road has increased SO
rapidly in Importance during the
past few years that it would appear
as if the company would be justi-
fled in giving its patrons accommo-
dations tn 1t equal to the best on any
OF the lines in the state.

SLIPPING OPPORTUNITIES.

Brownsville has by tactIess plumbers
and lack Of diplomacy in the past,
lost a military post; by %slumbering
on her opportunities, has let a ma
tional cemetery and the prospect of
of a national park slip away, and
now has scarcely awakened enough
to realize that another great asset,
the Brownsville Garden is drifting
away into the sargossa of lost oppor-
tunity.
1t is well to dream great dreams Of
future deep water and other ideal
things, but is it we'll while dreaming.
to lose the material advantages Of
the present?
The Fort Brown abandoned mill
tary reservation contains 355 acres.
Recently about forty acres has been
subdivided for sale as city lots.
The property is desirable for build
ing purposes, more 50 than that
west of town. What effect will the
sale Of forty acres have on develop
ment of less desirable property? VIII
il not retard the advance Of such
property values for a couple of years?
If after hat time three hundred
acres more s thrown on the mar
same property?
Why is it not good business. as
well as high civic virtue, for all good
men having property to sell to come
to the rescue Of the South Texas Gar
den and make ii a Fcdcral-Statc in
stitution for ever?

New Railroad Schedule.

Without warning and with a sud
denness that nearly takes the breath

ed, all being numbered from 101 up.

merIy, but No. 1913 is scheduled to ar
rive at 11:4O instead of 1910 noon.
The branch train will leave at
I9:45 a. m. instead of 1915, and will
arrive at 500 p. m. instead of $50.
The motor a will arrive at 10:-
Ia a. m. and leave at $40 p. m. as
heretofore.
The change became effective Sat

Mr.. SIattery told Of some things
which appeared in the papers and
Of some which did not. particularly
to the proposition of Thomas f. Law
son to Bryan that the latter should
line up with Roosevelt on a Roose-
welt and Bryan ticket, with the un-
d%erstanding that the former should
serve two year and the latter two,
provided the ticket was elected. This
proposition, which was published in
the Baltimore Sun during the con-
vention created quite a Juror, and
was the subject Of general discus
sion at Baltimore.
w. A. Rutledge, when called upon,
said: II hope Taft will be beat SO bad
that the Republicans could not win
again for 40 years. We are going to
the polls this fall and win all the
way from Brownsville to Washing
ton. You can't be a democrat at one
end and a republican at the other
the cog won't work
Mr.. Rutledge spoke in favor Of
team work in local politics and hop
cd that the factions in city politics
would come to a better understand
ing. He said he had been born a
democrat, and had never and would
never scratch any democratic ticket.
In closing, he said, "Why let little
differences keep us apart? Let's all
go in together and win"
V. Crixell spoke along lines con-
corning local politics. He said. among
other things. that he had always
been a democrat and never votes any
thing but the democratic ticket.
DIR. Geo. S. Stell said he was a born
democrat and assured all present Of
his abiding faith in democracy. He
mentioned that in the recent pri-
mary he went to the polls with the
intention Of voting for Wilson. He
noticed hat no one signed their
names as he had done. He laughing
Ily remarked that he found the an
swer later.
j. NJ. Dwyer expressed his JOY at
the Woodrow Wilson victory. Mr..
Rabb had gone to Baltimore to fight
for independence, and. said the
speaker: MY heart beat with Joy to
know that Rabb had won for the
Woodrow Wilson club. I an a son of
the Alamo and my ancestors fought
the same fight years ago"
In adiourning, Mr.. Rabb was over
flowing in his expression Of thanks
to his friends, saying that he did not
expect anything 50 brilliant. Mr.. Rut-
Hedge suggested that it was not half
as much as they would have liked to
have done.
