Georgetown, Rochelle. Selma and
Pollock successfully, returning
by way of Alexandria.
At Selma we went through the
big sawmilI plant of the Grant
Timber and Manufacturing Co.,
of which Mr.. E. E. Fitzgerald is
the general manager, and Mr..
V. M. Mason assistant secretary
and treasurer. Mr.. j. G.. Pope,
the affable timber estimator for
the company, spent about an
hour going through the immense
power plant and explaining its
operation to us. The machine
shops and planer are operated by
electricity, generated by the ten
big boilers that operate the saw
mill. The method of handling
the lumber and trucks in the
planer and dry kiln departments
by overhead trolley cars operated
by electricity is a most interest
ing and wonderful process. The
trucks with their entire loads of
lumber are picked up bodily by
these cars, quickly hoisted Is or
20 feet overhead, and then speed
lily transferred to any part Of the
immense plant that may be de-
sired. We are told the Selma
mill was the first mill in Louisi-
ana to make use of this overhead
electric trolley system.
At Rochelle we found the cleo
trio trolley car system also in
use, increased in numbers and in
extent of application, until it is
truly marvellous to see. The Ro-
chelle mill is owned by the Ire
mont Lumber Co., and is some
what larger than the Selma mill.
General Superintendent Greener
has a fine crew of assistants at
Rochelle, and everything is in
fine condition.
Both at Selma and Rochelle
they have waterworks and cleo
trio lights, and the mill men and
their families enjoy comforts and
conveniences that are lacking in
many more pretentious commune
ties. Both towns are miniature
cities, with comfortable houses,
painted and arranged with pleas
ing symmetry. Each mill en-
ploys four or five hundred oper-
atives, ard the amount of lumber
that they handle and ship out is
something immense.
At Georgetown they are con-
structing a new seven-room high
school building, having the franz
ing up and the siding on, and it
will be ready for the opening of
the fall term of school.
Pollock is showing her old
time vim and progress, and has
a new two-story Masonic hall and
new Baptist church nearing COM
pletion. The citizens over that
way are greatly pleased over the
new model road which has lately
been completed, and they are at
work on a rural free delivery
route which they hope to soon
have established, so they will be
in line to share in the Federal
government appropriation for the
maintenance of model roads
used in delivering the mails.

with an epigram.
At a luncheon Senator Pomerene

failed to make good. He earns a pre-
carious living by newspaper work,
but though he is so now, none of the

And yet, in his shabby apartment,

CHAPTER xxx.
The Raft Auain.


Yancy and Cavendish threw them
selves on the sweeps and worked the
raft clear of the keel boat, then the
turbulent current seized the smaller
craft and whirled it away into the
night; as its black bulk receded from
before his eyes the Earl Of Lambeth
spoke with the voice of authority and
experience.
1T was a good fight and them fell
lows done well, but not near well
enough" A conclusion that could
not be gainsaid. He added, mo one

and SOS Mr.. Carrington-who's

"Mr. Carrington's kin to me, Pol

dish. His voice was far from steady,
for Hannibal had been gathered into
his arms and had all but wrecked the
stole calm with which the Scratch
Hitler was seeking to guard his emo
tions.

of the Earl of Lambeth.
The light from the Cavendish
hearth continued to brighten the
scene. for Polly was recklessly sac
rificing her best, straw tick. indeed
her behavior was in every way worthy
of the noble alliance she had formed.
Her cob-pipe was not suffered to go
out and with Comics help she kept
the six small Cavendishes from risk
ing life and limb in the keel boat, to-
ward which they were powerfully
drawn. Despite these activities she
found time to call to Betty and Han
nibal on the cabin roof,
Jump down here; that amt no MT
tin place for you-all to stop In with
them gentlemen fightin'!"
An instant later Betty and Hanni-
bal stood on the raft with the little
Cavendishes flocking about them. Mr..
Yancy's quest of his nevvy had taken
an enduring hold on their magma

"Oh" cried Betty, with a fearful
glance toward the keel boat Gan

her black eyes very wide. Bless yo'
tender heart!-you don't need to wor-
ry none, we got them strange gentle
men licked like they was a passel OF
children! Connie, you-all mind that
fire!"
She accurately judged the outcome
of the fight The boat was little bet
ter than a shambles with the havoc
that had been wrought there when
Yancy and Darlington dropped over
It's side to the raft. Cavendish fol

he came.

NO MEDICINE
But Change of Food Gave Final Relief.

Most diseases start in the alimen-
tary canal-stomach and bowels.
A great deal of our stomach and
bowel troubles come from eating too
much starchy and greasy food.
The stomach does not digest any
of the starchy food we eat-white
bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.
these things are digested in the small
intestines, and if we eat too much, as
most of us do, the organs that should
digest this kind of food are overcome
by excess of work, so that fermenta-
ton. indigestion, and long train OF
ails result.
Too much fat also is hard to digest
and this. is changed into acids, sour
stomach, belching gas, and a bloated'
heavy feeling.
In these conditions a change from
indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will
work wonders in not only relieving
the distress but in building up a
strong Digestion clear brain and
steady nerves. A Wash. woman
writes:

He felt the river snatch at the keel
boat, the buffeting of some swift eddy
and saw the blunt bow swing off to
the south as they were plunged into
the black shore shadows.
But what he did not see was a big
muscular hand which had thrust itself
out of the impenetrable gloom and
clutched the side Of the keel boat. Co
incident with this there arose per
feet babel of voices, high-pitched and
shrill.

between the boat and the shore the
dim outline Of raft was taking shape

The light increased. From the flat
stone hearth of the raft ascended a
tall column of flame which rendered
visible six pigmy figures, tow-headed
and wonderfully vocal, who were toll

light showed more than this 1t

ridge-pole of one Of these shanties in
the very act of Growing Justify.
Hannibal, who had climbed to the
roof of the cabin, shrieked for help,
and Betty added her voice to his.
"All right, Nevvy!" came the cheer
full reply, as Yancy threw himself
over the side of the boat and crap
pied with Slosson.

Hannibal.
Slosson uttered cry of terror He
had simple but sincere faith in the
supernatural, and even with the

Meanwhile Mr.. Cavendish, whose

him to the practice of peace, had pre-

"Whoop! Pm man as can slide
