Reynolds poured out some of the

watching, saw that his hand shook

something more than the cold that
made the stimulant welcome.

VAST INDUSTRY IN URUGUAY
Millions Of Pounds OF Jerked Beef Are
Exported From South American
Country Annually.

Something over hundred years ago
the hacendados (ranchmeD OF Uru-
quay complained to the government
that over 100000 head Of cattle were
being killed annually for their hides
alone. The carcasses we're thrown to
the dogs, or left on the rolling pampas
for the vultures to devour. Beef in
Uruguay was so plentiful that 1t was
something Of a nuisance evidently. OF
course that day has passed. but they
still have cattle enough down there
to convert some 100000 head into 49,
600 900 pounds of jerked beef in one
year, most of which Is sold in Brazil.
Cuba, Porto Rico, and other tropical
countries. Perhaps but few people
know that the first great factory for
the production Of beef extract known
to the world was established at Fray
Bentos, a little city on the Uruguay
river about 100 miles above Buenos
Aires, the cosmopolitan capital Of Ar
gentina, and that it is still operating.
Fray Bentos has been called the great
est kitchen in the world. On some
days $500 head of cattle are slaugh-
tered, then treated so as to get the
finest meat from them, the bones and
ribs, the intestines, tails, sinews, hoofs,
and other parts being reserved for
their various uses. The company is
organized with system Of help to the
employees, for. improving their phys
ical, material and moral welfare. 1t

It's factory. and has reputation for
enterprise and fair dealing which
gives It an enviable place in the busi-
ness world.-San Francisco Argonaut.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Light In Darkness.

After several inquiries Dick found
his friends home and rang the bell
Frieda answered 1t, but In the dim
light on the veranda and because of
her wondrous change from a slattern-
ly domestic to a smart maid, he did
not recognize her.
'Is Mr.. Reynolds in?"
mo, sir" Frieda informed him, "but
he may come any minute"

and think she's going over to New

Dick. He went in. my name is
Meade-Richard Meade" he added
without looking at the girl "You may
have heard Mr.. Reynolds speak of

He took off his coat and as he hand
ed it to her, stared In quizzical way.
At last the truth dawned on him.
Why, it's Frieda," he exclaimed.
BLESS me, what change"
The girl, not oblivious or averse to
the infection in his surprised greeting.

with smile. why, you're all dressed
up like one of those talking dolls"
She laughed and turned around for
full inspection.
"The very latest model" she in
formed him. do you like it?"
''It's dream" the young writer ac-
knowledged. But never go back to
Staten Island with that rig on. There
are 1900 soldiers at the fort over there
and the government doesn't want them
all to desert at once"
Don't worry, Mr.. Dick, I'm not go
ing back to Staten Island, Mrs. Rey-
came over here and you bet took It.
1t took me some time to get ON to my
self, but did at last and now I'm
done with that sort of thing, believe
mel"
Frieda'e appearance confirmed her
boast.
Nearly an hour passed. He read an
article or two in magazines that were
Uttered about the table. There were
books too. all OF the lighter sort-re-
cent fiction, and some of the higher
class humorous papers.
Everything in the Reynolds home,
so much as Dick had seen of 1t, be-
spoke the idler. Everything bespoke
ease OF body and unwillingness to tax
the mind.
A quick step on the yeranda cut
short his musings. Bob threw open
the door. At the sight of his visitor
he rushed forward with outstretched
hands
why, Dick" he shouted. and then
he fairly hugged him.
You're the last man I expected to
see here and the one I'd rather see
most. You've kept away pretty long.
but it's better late than never"
well. you sort Of got out of my
class, Bob," replied his friend, respond
ing to the handshake with a grip as
firm as iron. "And I've been away a
good deal, too. Europe and all
around"
Reynolds threw OF his coat and car
ried it to the rack.
"Europe?" he said as he turned.
What for, the paper?"
No, haven't been with the PAPER
for some time, Bob. Left 1t shortly

and fondly.

You look 1t. Prosperous, ehf'
From my point Of view, yes" said
Dick. Maybe not from yours and

Reynolds frowned. Mention Of the
millionaire's name irritated him.

Natural advantages do not make
a great state or great nation.
Some of the richest countries of the
globe are inhabited by some Of the
most worthless and most disSolute
peoples. In semi-tropical climates
where fruit ripens and fails ready to
be consumed, the natives are so
lazy that they won't even shake
the trees to make it drop. Their
few wants are easily supplied. A
brush arbOr will do for a shelter, a
loin cloth for clothing, bananas and
cocoaIuts for food, They prefer
to lead lives of Incidence and ease
rather than possess themselves of
the many good things they might
have by small exertion.
New England is naturally one
OF the most bleak and barren
sections of America. 1t was settled
by English Puritans who were in
dustrious, frugal and thrifty.
They made the most of their own
resources and then branched out to
trade with the outside world. We
all know the result. New England
became rich and powerful and has
welded a tremendous influence on
American life and manners from
the beginning to the present time.
Suppose the early settlers of that
section had spent their time in
bewailing the fate which had cast
them OH that rugged and inhoS-
pitable coast instead of on the
fertile shores of Louisiana or i'll
sun kissed Texas. Bv such a
course they might have easily
wrecked their own lives and have
