COURTESY ALL TOO SCARCE

Of a courteous gentleman may beat

Last November the city of Cleve-
land. O., was cut off from the outer
world by the worst storm of wind and
sleet and snow in it's history. Trac-
ton lines and railways were tied up
for several days. Four days after
the storm, a woman reached CleVe-
land to visit her sister, She knew
that the cars were not yet running
on the line she wished to take, and
SO she took a car on another line that
would take her to the city limits,
where she hoped to connect with q
car that would take her where she
wanted to go.
Forty minutes later she stepped
from the car at the edge Of the city.
Between her and the curbstone a wide
stream of water six or eight inches
deep was running. AS b looked

Columbia.-:"Tnsurance as an Incl.
dent to Banking" was elucidated in
an addresse delivered by F. H. Nc
Master insurance commissioner of
South Carolina, at the annual conven-
ton of the South Carolina Bankers
Association. Mr.. McMaster made gen
eral assertions relative to the insur-
ance business and applied these prin-
ciples to the history of insurance in
this state. He stated the conditions
that had arisen, and then spoke of
how the insurance companies could
invest their money in South Carolina.

He tipped the coin into the air and
caught it in his hand.
"Heads!" he called, without looking
at it. What you got?"

CHAPTER X.

To an American, accustomed to get
ting things done first and talking about
it afterward, there is nothing so subtly
irritating as the old-world Journalism,
the polite evasiveness of the Next
cans; and yet, at times, they can speak
to the point with the best Of us.
For sixty days Don Cipriano Aragon
had smiled and smiled and then, sud-
denly, as the last day OF their mining
permit passed by and there was no
record of a announcement by Cruz
Mendez, he appeared at the Eagle Tail
mine with a pistol in his belt and a
triumphant sheer on his lips.
Behind him rode four Mexicans,
fully armed, and they made no reply
to De Lancey's polite "Buenos dias!"
take your poor things" burst out
Aragon, pointing contemptuously at
their tent and beds, land your low,
pelado Mexican-and go! This mine
no longer stands in the name of Cruz
Mendez, and I want it for myself! No,
not a world" he cried, as De Lancey
opened his mouth to explain Moth
ing! Only go!"
"No, senor," said Hooker, dropping
his hand to his s~ix-shooter which hung
low by his leg and stepping forward.
I'VE will not go!"
"What?" stormed Aragon, "you-"
BE careful there!" warned Bud,
suddenly fixing his eyes on n of the
fur retainers. "If you touch that gun
I'll kill you!"
There was a pause, in which the
Me&icans sat frozen to their saddles.
and then De Lancey broke the silence.
you must not think, Senior Ara
goil,'" he began, speaking with a GER
tain bitterness, that you a carry
your point like this. My friend here is
a Texan, and if your men stir he will
kill them. But there is a law in this
country for every man-what is it that
you want?"
81 want this mining claim" shouted
AraEon, that you have SO unjustly ia
ken from me through that scoundrel
Men.lez! And | want you to step
aside, so that l can set up my monu-
ments and take possession of it"
THE Senior Aragon has not been to
the agente mineral today" suggested
De Lancey suavely. "If he had taken
the trouble he would not"
Enough" cried Aragon, still trying
to carry it off cavalierly; 81 sent my
servant to the mining agent yesterday
and ne reported that the permit had
lapsed."
IF he had taken the pains to in
quire for new permits, however," re-
turned De Lancey, The would have
found that one has been issued to me.
