The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
Robb was seriously poisoned, Tuesday
morning, with tartar emetic, which
had been prepared to destroy ants
The creeping child got into the dining
room, where some of the poison had
been placed, and smeared it over Its
hands and face, getting some into its
mouth, before the danger was discov-
cred. Three physicians worked over
the little fellow before 1t was out of
danger.

Some of the pecans were caught out
in their spring green's, while others
are still in the bare limbs of winter
This phenomenon may be noted in
trees, side by side, but who has not
seen two brothers, one of whom was
wise and the other a fool? Shall we
say certainly that vegetation can not
have individuality as we'll as people?
Every grower or observer OF plant life
knows that apparently plant can be
as stubborn or as tractable as a child.
One plant will grow. while its neighbor
under the same treatment will sicken
and die.
The venturous pecan trees are look

THANKSGIVING HINTS

AS your table may be spread with
many wholesome things, let not the
juice of the grape or the "evi' spirit
Of the STILL" as they may give their
color in the cup, be found there.
AS you surround your bountiful
spread table be thankful CT your
neighbor who may have only a crust.
Since few things are SO bad but
they might be worse, there is always
something to be thankful for.
Many turkeys will be stuffed for
Thanksgiving, but show thru more
wisdom than to "stuff" yourself.
Nothing is lost by occasionally stop
ping the busy, buzzing wheals Of busi-
ness to return thanks to the bounti-
full giver Of all good.
If you are truly thankful in your
Thanksgiving you may well be thank
full for the thankfulness that enables
you to have a true Thanksgiving.
With malice toward none and chari-
ty for all, enjoy your Thanksgiving.
AS you may have "lay-off"
Thanksgiving day, let not whiskey
"lay you out"
There can be no true Thanksgiving
with i'll will or hatred in your hearts
towards others.
AS you participate in the festivi-
ties Of the day use moderation and
judgment.
AS you have been blest let it meas
ure your Thanksgiving blessing to
others.
To manifest the goodness Of your
heart to your friends send them this
paper for one year.
Don't think Thanksgiving time is a
special opportunity for you to indulge
in riot, racket, reveling and feasting,

tramp; and some of the harbor police
have taken a dislike to me. What
do you want me to do?"
THE police will not bother you.
This man Hargreave had some en-
emies: they want either his life or
his money; maybe both. 1t is a pc
culiar case, with Russia in the back
ground. He might have laid the
whole business before the police, but
he chose to fight it out himself. And
to tell the truth, don't believe the
police would have done any good
"Heave her over; what do you want
me to do for that handsome roll of
money!
IF any man or woman who Is not

them the man went ashore with a
packet under his arm"
''Tie a knot In that"
Say that the man was gray-haired,
clean-shaven, straight, with a scar
high up on his forehead, generally
covered UP by his hair"
That's battened down, my lad. Go
on"
Say that you saw him enter yon-
der warehouse, and later depart with
out his packet
Easy as dropping my mudhook.
That's all" Norton gave the cap
tain the money. "Good-by and many
thanks"
Don't mention it."
Norton left the ship and proceeded
to the office of the warehouse. He
approached the managers desk.
Hello. Grannis, old top!'
The man looked up from his work
surlily. Then his face frightened
"Norton2 What's brought you here
oh. yes; that balloon business. Sit
down.
What kind of man is the cap

"Shifty in gun running. but other

We'll, there will be persons maxi

The warehouse manager laughed
Got a lot of sense in that ivory dome

I'm be here till 5. I'd better call
you up then
Then Norton returned home and
idled about till afternoon. He went
over to Riverdale. Five times he
walked up and down the front of the
Hargreave place, finally plucked up
his courage and walked to the door
He chatted with Florence for a
while and found that, for all she
might be guileless to the world, she
was good linguist, a fine musician,
and talked with remarkable keenness
about books and arts. But unless he
reused her, the sadness of her posi-
ton always lay written in her face.
1t was not difficult for him to con-
jure up her dreams in coming to the
city and the blow which, like a bolt
of lightning from clear sky, had
shattered them ruthlessly.
You must come every day and tell
me how you have progressed" she
said
"Ill obey that order gladly. when

then, the captains description did
not tally with my recollection"
THANK Cod But what is this
trap"
Il propose to find out by 1t who is
back of all this, who Hargreave's
real enemies are.
Norton returned to his rooms, there
to await the call from Grannis. He
was sorry, but if Jones would not
take him into his fullest confidence,
he must hold himself to blame for
any blunder he (Norton) made OF
course, he could readily understand
Jones's angle of vision. He knew
nothing of the general run of report
ers; he had heard Of them by rumor
and distrusted them. He was not
aware of the fact that the average
reporter carries more secrets in his
head than a prime minister. It was,
then up to him to set about to allay
this distrust and gain the mans com
plete confidence
Meanwhile that same morning a
pretty woman boarded the Orient and
asked to be led to the captain. Her
eyes were red, she had evidently been
weeping. When the captain. sus-
ceptible like all sailors, saw her his
promises to Norton took wings.
N"This is Captain Hagan?" she
asked. balling the handkerchief she
held in her hand

The captains very laundering de-

down the gangplank and headed for
that warehouse. He had package
which he was as tender of as If it
had been dynamite"
THANK you,. impulsively.
"A man has to do his duty. miss.
A sailors always glad 10 rescue a
man at sea-" awkwardly.
When she finally went GOWN the
gangplank the sigh the captain
heaved was almost as loud as the ex-
haust from the donkey engines which
were working out the crates of lemons
from the hold.
Maybe she is his daughter; but
two hundred is two hundred, and I'm
a poor sailorman."
Then Grannis came in for his trou-
bles. What was chap to do when a
pretty girl appealed to him?
II am sorry, miss. but | can't give
you that package. | gave the man a
receipt and till 1t is presented to me
