Moleskin 10 Profitable,

Moleskins have been extensively
used in this country during the last
few years in making fur garments,
and practically all of the supply has
been imported from Europe. In the
belief that the common mole Of east.
ern United States produces fur Of
equal value. skins were submitted to
professional furriers, who stated that
the quality is superior to the foreign
product. A report on the economic
status Of the eastern species was pup
lished during the year. The mole in
habiting the northwestern coast is
larger than the common eastern spe.
cies, and number of these have been
collected in order to obtain a report
on the quality Of the pelt II the tex
ture OF the fur proves to be as good as
that OF the eastern animal, there is no
reason why trappers should not secure
good income by capturing these ami.
mails. as the area they inhabit is ex-
tensive. In many localities an acre
OF ground supports as many as hun
dred individuals. II this little animal
can be profitably trapped for its fur
the problem of freeing agricultural
areas from it will practically be
solved.

No. ~ had covered about hundred

the shadow that skunk behind him. He
turned and crouched in q clump Of
palmetto. He knew that this portend-

beat horribly.
The shadow crept onward and
evolved into Q pale, anemic boy Of

The other whimpered in his clutch.
Il want to be free too" he muttered.
Il don't mean no harm to you, Mr..

Maxwell released his fellow-convict
and stood watching him doubtfully.
For nine months James Maxwell.

time in the hideous turpentine camp
in southern Mississippi. His friends
had not been idle, however, and with
the aid Of q smuggled saw and .
bribed jailer he had carved his way
to freedom out Of the stockade. And
now this wretch had followed him.
He knew Morton as "lifer." The
unhappy boy, timid and terrified by
any threat Of violence, had stabbed a
man to death in a quarrel about q
girl. And he. Maxwell. whose corrupt
government had slain dozens with
typhoid and ruined hundreds With
dishonesty. was serving a five years
sentence.
Come along, then" growled the
boss, and the two set off through the
scrub pine. 1t would be two hours
before the escape was discovered;
that would be when the warden went
his rounds at midnight. And it was
only twelve miles along the forest
trail to where lay the hidden motor
boat, which was to carry the boss out
