Other Methods Of Eradication.
In undertaking measures for eradi-
eating the tick it is evident that the
pest may be attacked in two loca-
tions, namely, on the pasture and on
the cattle.
In freeing pactures the method fol,
lowed may be either direct or an
indirect one. The former consists In
excluding all cattle. horses and mules
from pastures until all the ticks have
died from starvation. The latter con-
sists in permitting the cattle and
other animals to continue on the in
tested pasture and dipping them at
regular intervals in the arsenical So
luton and thus preventing engorged
females from dropping and reinfest.

of fact, he had decided the point to
his own satisfaction the night before.
She should pose for him in the dainty

While they were going over the ex-
tensive assortment of gowns, with
Sara as the Judge from whom there
seemed to be no appeal. he casually
inquired IL she had ever posed before.
He watched her closely as he put
the question. She was holding up q

and stared long and earnestly at the

quired innocently.

with conviction.
She turned the page. He was watch
Ing her closely. As she looked upon
the sketches of the half-nude figure q

Her voice was low. the words not very

He drew long breath. and she look

Sara Wrandall came into the room
at that moment. Hetty hastily closed
the magazine and held 1t behind her.
Booth had intended to show the 70.

girls behavior caused him to change
his mind. He felt that he possessed

Moreover. he decided that he would
not refer to the Hawkright pictures
again unless the girl herself brought
up the subject All this flashed through
his mind - he stepped forward to
greet the newcomer.
When he turned again to Hettt. the
magazine had disappeared. He never
saw 1t afterward. and. what IL more to
the point. he never asked her to pro

He thought hard over the situation.
