Holton received the girls announce

didn't speak she looked at him with
defiant eyes.

found that there are ways In which

Yes, but we need not be enemies" /"
Holton's voice was very earnest
She did not reply. and Holton added:
II applaud your motives, but surely
you do not imagine Cuba to be in dan
ger at the hands of the United
States. l should think Spain would
be your object, and II the United
States, I ask you whyi"
Still, she did not answer, and Hol-
ton, struggling his shoulders. impa-
tiently repeated his question.
"Why?"
do you know, Mr.. Holton," she said
after a moments pause, that every
mile southwark this train flies in

ant to feel you are nearing home"
You have not answered my ques-

officers mood.

the most Of that statement And so
I ask you with the friendliest motives

Then you infer that the United

goodwill to Cuba!" Holton was thor
oughly outraged. well, I'll be hanged
If that isn't gratitude!"
IF you don't mind, Mr.. Holton." she
said sweetly, II should like to read
now."
Holton hustled out of the seat in a
great huff.
"Oh, certainly, by all means: most
assuredly," he burst out. and returned
to his seat.
As he sat there thinking, the train
stopped at a small station to change
engines. When it started again the
conductor came into the smoker call
ing Holton's name. He responded, and
the conductor gave him long, Official
appearing dispatch. The message ran
as follows:

Holton sat back in his seat. So war

So far as he was concerned, Holton

said.
She shook his hand cordially, lin

Her eyes sought his, and for mo-
ment 1t seemed as though she were
going to speak. Then she turned
away.
Holton waited an instant. and then
he, too, averted his face.

went to his own berth. where the

CHAPTER v.
Mysterious Messages.

| At Tampa Holton met and had
breakfast with several army engineers
who had been engaged In laying out
camp sites in the pine woods back Of
Tampa. Then in the afternoon he pro-
ceeded on to Port Tampa, nine miles
away. Ahead, rising into the blue
sky like some dream palace in Sahara,
the Tampa Bay Hotel, with it's brick
walls and cleaning silver domes and
minarets.
1t brought hope to his heart, and his
steps were more springy as he hur-
| ried toward the immense structure. A
| negro boy took his bag as he entered
the lobby. and the clerk smiled as he
had not done since the winter throng
left the hostelry early in March.
After a bath and shave he set out
to the bay to view his new command.
He found her in charge Of an able
seaman, Conroy, who welcomed him
with enthusiasm.
Holton stepped aboard and chuckled
when he recalled the comparatively
large deck space of the Scorpion.
The Gnat was almost toy craft, and
yet her regulation torpedo gun on the
after deck, the machine gun forward.
and the little coming tower, heavily
plated with steel, gave adequate hint
that she was by no means built for
pleasure.
1T Is likely we'll be busy before
long, Conroy." he said. "I'll have my
luggage brought down from the hotel
and come aboard at once. How many
men have we?"
"Only Howard, the engineer, and
me-" was the reply.
"All right. The fewer the better
I'll return shortly. and perhaps take
her out"
Whereupon Holton stepped out with
a blithe stride. In the lobby of the
hotel he buried his face in a Washing
ton newspaper and spent a half-hour
absorbing the war talk Of the day.
His reverie was interrupted by a
hotel page, who handed him a card
bearing the name Jose Rodriguez, Ha-
| vana.
"Mr. Rodriguez wishes to know If
you will do him the honor Of calling
upon him in his rooms" announced
the boy.
Rodriguez! And who is he?"
Hes very wealthy Spaniard who
has been here some time"
well, then, you will tell Mr.. Rodri-
| guez that If he wishes to see me. he'll
find me here"
"Yes, sir, I'll tell him that" and
the boy hurried away.
| II like the nerve Of that" growled
Holton, returning to his paper.
In few moments the page stood
before him again.
"Wen?" Holton looked up impa,
tiently.
"Mr. Rodriguez said. sir, that he
does not wish to speak to you in the
lobby, and that 1t will be best for
you If you visit him as soon as you
can in his rooms"
Holton flushed angrily.
Say, boy, get this straight. You
give Mr.. Rodriguez Mr.. Holton's com
pliments, and say to Mr.. Rodrigues
that Mr.. Holton says for him to go to
the devil"

From the west comes the wall of the
unemployed workman. In eastern Gen.
tiers, thousands of able-bodied men are
constantly on the verge of starvation
In our own towns and cities, many in
telligent young men and women exc
out bare living. The telephone girl
earns her pittance of about II cents
an hour. Yet, round about us every
where, there is an excellent field of
employment overlooked by thousands
of intelligent boys, young men and
women; and this is the teaching pro-
fession. In order to train young Lou
isianians professionally for this bust
ness, the State maintains a magnifi-
cent institution. The State Normal
School at Natchitoches represents an
Investment of 100000 in land, build
ings, and equipment; it has an excel
lent faculty of nearly fifty teachers;
and in it's summer school opening June

er. Those who are looking for good
business to engage in should send for

BIRD PICTURES FREE TO
TEACHERS.

The sum of $4,000 has been con-
tributed to the National Association Of
Audubon Societies for the purpose of
helping teachers to give simple in
struction in bird study to their pupils
during the year 1914. The Audubon
plan of helping teachers in this connec-
ton is as follows:
Any teacher or other person who
will interest not less than ten children
in contributing fee of ten cents each
| to become Junior Members and will
send this to the Office of the National
Association will receive for each child
ten of the best colored pictures of wild
birds which have ever been published
in this country. With each of these
ten pictures goes an outline drawing
intended to be used by the child for
filling in the proper colors with cray
ons. Each picture is also accompanied
with four-page leaflet discussing the
habits and general activities of the bird
treated. Each child also receives an

ling and mailing this material is little

fee.
The teacher who forms such class
receives without cost to herself one
full years subscription to the beauti-
full illustrated magazine, "Bird-Lore."
This is the leading publication in the
world on bird study. To the teacher
also there is sent other free literature
containing many hints on methods of
putting up bird boxes, feeding birds in
winter and descriptions of methods for
attracting birds about the home or
school house.
The ten subjects supplied to children
this year are as follows: Nighthawk,
! Mourning Dove, Meadowlark, Flicker
sparrow Hawk, Screech Owl, Purple
Martin, Humming Bird and Robin.

MAKING INSPECTION
OF LOCAL SAW MILL
FOR NORTHERN MEN

R. e. O'Niell, of Franklin, represent
ing the Wabash Hardwood Co., with
headquarters in Terre- Haute, Ind, has
been here this week looking over the
properties of the defunct Bayou Sara
Lumber Company. The Wabash Hard
wood Company is interested as a pos
sible purchaser of the holdings of the
Bayou Sara Lumber Co., and, if they
make deal with the present owners
Of the concern, will put the mill into
operation as soon as possible.
Mr.. O'Niell finds the mill to be in
excellent condition, and estimates that
there are over 60,OO0,OO0 feet of timber
in the property. Besides this there is
lot more available timber which
could be purchased for the mill Mr..
O'Niell believes that by building a tram
road into the swamps the local mill
may be logged the year round. After
completing his examination of the
property, he expects to go north and
lay the matter before the people whom
he represents.
Val Smith, former resident of this
parish, is with Mr.. O'Niell, and is en-
gagged in running some of the land

R. n. SIMS APPOINTED
STATE BANK EXAMINER

Concerning the appointment of R. N.
Sims as State Examiner of State
Banks, the Times.Democrat says:
'R. N. Sims of Donaldsonville, for a
number of years factor in politics in
Southeastern Louisiana, and likewise
prominent in banking circles, has been
selected by Gov. Hall to succeed W. L.
Young, recently removed, as State
Bank Examiner. The selection was an
nounced Friday afternoon, following a
conference between the Governor and
Mr.. Sims. The appointment will be
made upon the return of the Governor
to Baton Rouge Saturday.
GIN politics Mr.. Sims is widely
known as the manager of the guberna-
torial campaign of Theodore Wilkinson
in 1908. In the last campaign he sup
ported Mr. Michel, but locally has been
regarded as independent in politics.
| He was a member of the Constitutional
Convention of last November. In 1898
Mr.. Sims was elected member Of the
State Railroad Commission. After
serving three years he resigned to be-
come a member of the Board OF Con-

of this parish are shortly to enjoy the
privileges ola business of this nature.
This week the Farmers and Merch-

The Louisiana State Board of Health
says that all births and deaths must
be registered. Civilization demands
1t, the law requires it. The penalty for
neglect is fine of from $40 to $500
Physicians, midwiyes and parents are

In this day of enlightenment no state
can afford to let her children be born
and die like stray dogs, without official
notice or record.
1t is crime against helpless infancy
to imperil the birthright of the poorest
child by failure to record its birth and
parentage. That is what many people
through ignorance or carelessness, are
doing in Louisiana to-day. The law
now provides punishment for that
crime.
