CHAPTER V
Della Goes Ashore.


 The boat was quickly guided by Mercer's shouts to the point where the two men had drifted downstream. With one arm hooked over a life-buoy. he was sustaining with the other hand the limp form of John Callis, who ap- peared to be unconscious. A minute or two later both bedraggled figures were upon deck
 The first officer, finding that his cap tain was obdurate in the matter of Just one jolt' to drive out the chill that had entered into his vitals, spat out an oath and reminded Tom that he might have swum ashore instead Of wasting his energies upon a surly beg gar like Callis

 Tom stood watching her with a look of grave concern.

 She turned upon him pettishly.

THEE RUBBER MARKET.

A prominent manufacturer of tires esays: lover 60 per cent of the crude
 rubber used in the United States Eco1nes from the Far East, via the Red gehant ships are passing through these sseas now, and we don't know when sthey will start surely not, for a, while. Shippers could divert the shipments 7coast, but this change would require time and we have no word that such "a. course is under advisement.
 London, of course, has always been the transfer point but the high grade rubber in stock there would not sup
 turers more than a week. Naturally at this point there are also big accu-

 } sBeing shut off from the east, we must look to South America for ourS supply. Here we find only a few hun sdred tons in stock, because the Brazil ian district has a steady market for
 all they make during tn cir open sea- son. Just now this country is food ed with torfential rains and the gath ering of crude. rubber cannot start until October. So we find but little immediate relief there.
 When shipments start to come in from the east CT utfe rubber prices
 will probably decline sharply, al- though it has been gported uf1off1cial- Ely that when navigation stopped, the
 plantation owners laid off their men and ceased tapping the trees This of course, would mean a shortage Of
 rubber, but it is my personal opinion
 that transportation. is the main diff1- scu1ty and that as soon as navigation
 opens. we will find plenty of rubber.

CAR STEALING.

We desire again to urge our read CTS not to leave their cars on the street or roadside without having them locked or guarded Automo- bile stealing is a, rapidly increasing crime. Fifty cars were reported sto- len in Detroit last month and in New York city scarcely a day passes that there is notfa report of such loss.
 Of course all this is practically un- necessary. In these days of desper- ate deeds for gain there is no safety for a car unless it is locked or watch ed. The opportunity of stealing something that assists the thief in quickly putting himself at a distance from the rightfuI owner of property that is worth anywhere from five hundred to several thousand dollars, is a. new temptation to crime and one far more attractive to the reckless and desperate than anything offered for a good many years.
 The only remedy is the eternal wig inlance that provides suitable locks, and punishment toA culprits that fits the crime.-AutomobiIe Dealer and Repairer.

CAN'T BE USED BY HORSES.

Between the towns of Roswell and Vaghn, New Mexico, there is an auto road with bridges of unique design. The road runs through stretches of almost impossible sand and despite the fee of five cents mile it is very popular with motorists. The peculiar feature of the route lies in the bridges which can be used only for automo- biles, says Dr. Charles G.

FADs FOR MOTORISTS

For extra wraps the coat capes with or without sleeves are very much used. and may be had in smooth or rough goods, lined or unined. In pongee they make excellent dust gar ments.
 Campers food bags are used a great deal for the days outing, as they keep everything in perfect con dition.2 They may be folded out, of the way after luncheon is over. In one pocket paper plates, cups and napkins are carried and are also dis carded after uses
 Stitched white linen or pongee hats with wide rolling brfzns are very smart. At the left side they have big ponpons of bright game bird feathers.
 A hatchet with folding spring guard will come in handy when it is time to build the camp fire.
 A handy invention is the clamp coat hanger that may be attached to a sfna1 tree. There are four hooks upon which to hang clothing.

CAN'T SELECT
 NEW PRESIDENT Mexican Mediators Are Having Trou-
 bIe to Select a Provisional President.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, June 16.-- The mediators are having great diff ficulty to select provisional presi- dent to succeed President Huerta ot Mexico. Many names have been pro- posed by the Huerta delegates. but the American representatives have in structions to object to the naming of any Mexican who has been close ly associated with Huerta and to work of rthe naming of a Carranza follow CT. The Huerta delegates are equally determined that none but Huerta fol- lowers or at least some Mexican who has not been in arms against the provisional government shall be made president.
 It is believed here that England has influenced Huerta to insist that no rebel shall have the presidency because of the certainty that the En- glish investments will be confiscated, as the Standard Oil influence is said to be backing Villa and Carranza. England is also said to have promised Huerta backing and protection and the English fleet in Mexican waters has been notified to aid him:
