At the captains invitation he
boarded the Rio Grande and looked
about him. His glance was keen-he
seemed to see everything at once.

'if I'd known they wanted guns, blow

An hour later the Central American
was standing on the veranda of his
large plantation house, experimenting
the serving of iced drinks and bit Of
food, to his accidental guests, Annette
Ilington and her party.
Annette suddenly rose to her feet.

instead of up the coast-away from

stronghold. He knew his business,
did the captain of the Rio Grande.
And If he didn't, he had a good direc-
tor, the Portuguese Hernandez.
"Ah," said Hernandez that evening
from the deck of the Rio Grande, cher

AS If in answer to his exclamation,
a dozen rowboats shot out of the shad-
ows and lined up alongside the Rio
Grande. The first of these made fast

The insurrecto counted out the cash.
Hernandez thrust it into his pocket.
"Senor," he said, opening the door

Two figures appeared in the door,

The insurrecto gazed at one of them

Hernandez placed one hand upon

Identification.

Senorita Inez Castro-known to her
Immediate audience by the pseudonym
of Irene Courtier-drew back in alarm
and alright.
but, charming friend Annette" she
cried, you have been snatched liter
ally from the jaws of death" She
wrung her hands in despair. She
turned to Neal and laid her hand upon
his arm. What are we to do?" she
cried. 1--WE are but handful OF
women-championed by our solitary
sailor boy. We are no match for these
adventures. Why not give it up?"
Annette sprang to her feet. Never"
she cried. Never will l give 1t up.
The lost isle is mine. 1t is my IA
theirs, too. I am fighting for him,
Irene, and he is fighting in me. His
blood is in my blood"
There was a knock upon the door.
Come in" said Mrs. Hardin.
The door opened and man In the
uniform OF a common seaman entered.
Hardin" he said, been looking for
you everywhere. The commander
wants you to report to him at once"
He grinned bit sheepishly. Beside
that" he added, che told me might
hand you this
He passed to Neal a folded sheet Of
paper. Neal opened it and read it.
A flush crept into his face and his
eyes sparkled.

He handed the paper to his mother.
"Annette-Irene," he said, Il have
been promoted-promoted from sea-
man on the Jackson to gunner on the
cruiser Albany"
The bearer of the note saluted once
more. "Rank--chief petty officer" he
explained, land the cruiser Albany is
due hereabouts this week"
Ten minutes later when the excite
ment in that hotel suite at Martinique
had subsided-at least to some extent,
Irene Courtier leaned forward toward
Annette.
Charming friend" she began, "let
us get down to cases-let us look
things in the face. What is the situa-
tion now?"
For one thing" Annette returned.
these pirates don't know-can't
know-that am alive"
Irene Courtier smiled a reassuring
smile.
"Of course" she responded. How
could they know"
They've got me at disadvantage"
went on Annette. They've got my
parchment map of the lost Isle of Gin
nabar-and my locket with my ia
theirs picture in it. It's evidence"
'Ah," said Irene, leaning farther
forward, map, or no map we shall
spike their guns. Let me plan out
campaign"
She rose, seized sheet of paper and
an envelope and placed them pefore
Annette Iiington. Charming friend"
she said, write as dictate"
At the end of five minutes Irene
took the sheet of paper from the table
and read it aloud. This is what she
read:

sion, Santa Maria, Lower California.

extends across the house. This door
is opened in warm weather to venti.
late the house and create a draft to
cool the interior. 1t is closed in win
ter. This is valuable improvement
for Southern poultry houses and
should always be provided.
The interior has at the north side
two roosts and dropboard to catch
the droppings. The dimensions are
given in the drawing. The dropboard
is 3 feet wide.
Nests and Hoppers.
The six nests can be made of old
egg crates, orange crates or packing
boxes. They can be placed on a rails
ed platform together with the water
vessel. This keeps both nests and
water clean. Dry mash is fed In q
hopper or self-feeding box which will
be described in later article.
The floor Of the house should be
well-packed dirt filed IN till level with
the top of the sill. A concrete floor Is
best OF all and you should try to make
an earthen floor as near concrete sur
face as possible. Chickens are injured
by having to live In house full OF
dust! Board floors soon rot and har-
Dor rats and mice unless raised high
of the ground, as In SQUAD plant.
Cover the earth floor to depth OF
inches with straw or clean litter. Scat
ter the grain In this litter and make
your hens sratch for every kernel.

RESERVE BOARD HAS ACTED
Special Red'scount Rates, Provided
Member Banks Charge Only 6
" Per Cent. ''''

Washington, Sept. 4:-Definite steps
were taken yesterday by the Federal
Reserved Board and Secretary McAdoc
VI the Treasury Department, to extend
aid to cotton producers Of the South
and to clear the way for handling the
Fall crop without the uncertainty
and difficulty experienced last year.
The board issued new regulations
authorizing Federal reserve banks to
give special rediScount rates on promi,
sorry notes secured by warehouse re-
neipts for staple agricultural products
with the restriction that member
banks must not charge more than &
per cent to the borrower.
Secretary McAdoo announced he
would soon deposit s5,OOO,00O as an
initial deposit III gold in each OF the
Federal reserve banks at Richmond,
Atlanta and Dallas. Fifteen million
dollars more is to lie deposited later.
The Secretary said that If conditions
showed the need Of deposits elsewhere
TO aid in handling any other crop he
would extend blmilar Government
aid.
The new regulations are broad
enough to apply to all staple, readily
marketable crops but it is well known
that the cotton crop is the one which
has given concern Of late. The board
announced that the reserve banks III
Atlanta and Dallas already had re-
ouested a discount rate of three per
cent Oh the sort of paper approved
in the regulations.
The announcements followed meet
inrs that have occupied the time OF
tba hoard and Mr.. McAdOo most Of the
past two days.
Although when the Secretary orgl-
nally proposed deposits OF Govern
meut funds in Southern Reserve banks
alone, many months ago, the plan was
nat favored by several members Of the
board it wSas Sat' not T. opposed during the
recent discussions. Some members in!
dictated, .liowevsr that as:the total cot
TON. crop probably would be."worth
uhollt $500. .0DO. 600 they did not think
$50 OOo. 900 would 3 go far toward
handling IT. ~

Every flock of chickens should have
4 house to live in. 1t need not be an
expensive building but 1t should be
bright and sanitary. The best place
to locate 1t is near some shade or
fruit trees, to protect the hens from
summer heat. The ground must be
dry and preferably Of sandy loam.
The front or open side OF the house
should face the south, so as to have as
much sunlight as possible on the
floor. Cut 4-by-4-inch lumhsr for the
sills, two pieces 10 feet long and two
pieces Z feet inches long, for the
house shown in the accompanying H.
lustratien. This will accommodate 40
laying hens. Then erect five front
studs 7 feet long and four back studs
feet long. Put up the two center
studs, the plates and roof ,rafters.
Cover the frame with wide unplaned
boards (not recommended unless
cheapness is primary consideration
and even then 1t Is better to cover
these boards with roofing paper, ton.

boarding.) II you use tongued-and-

ORCHARD WORK FOR EARLY FALL

nurseries they represent may be al
right, but you are not always sure Of
what you are getting and in most cases
you are paying the agents salary and
the expense of delivering the trees. II
you are thinking Of setting out an or
chard this fall, let US help you.
Improving the Orchard.
II you already have an orchard, why
not begin to improve 1t now? A covel
crop sown now and turned next spring
will help wonderfully. Twenty pounds
of crimson clover seed per acre, sown
and disced, will make good cover
provided the seed are inoculated
Three necks of rye and 20 pounds Of
hairy yetch to the acre will also make
a good cover for the orchard. II these
are turned next spring at the first cul
tivation they will add lot Of fertility
to the soil will also help to hold mois
ture.
There are good many mummy
fruits hanging to the trees. These are
full of spores and IL left in the or
chard will cause more rotten fruit
another year. Now is good time to
get these out of the way. Pull and
burn them. 50 '.... -. a'' j. O.
Borers may, have been giving you
trouble. You were advised to paint
and mound the trees early in. simmer
The mounds should be pulled down On
October IS and the trees 'examined for
iborers. The young borers% are Just
entering the trees the middle. OF: Qcto'
Der and will be found going In. just
above the level OF the hill Of dirt yot,
pull down. If you find any of them
scrape the bark off with knife and
the little borers will. be destroyed. ~"
The work at. this season consists
largely in cleaning up and preparing
for winter and spring. If done prop
rely, the trees receive much benefit.

CHANGE IN CALANDAR
New York Minister Proposes Plan
Which Has Much Merit

4 new calantlar with 13 months III
the year and requiring all persons
born after the 2Sth Of each month to
find another birthday, is proposed by
the Rev. H. ]. Hames, who preached
recently at All Angels church III
West Eighty-first street says the New
York Herald.
Christian forces favor the change,
Mr.. Hames says. in the interest OF
labor, Of trade, Of general world ad-
vance. He says he is receiving many
letters of endorsement from clergymen
in Great Britain and in the United
States. He proposed that the calen-
dar he put in operation at the close
of the war, thus signalizing to the
world that even Russia has abandoned
her old calandar and joined with the
world in a new one.
Mr.. Hames' calandar is unique.
He adds another month to the year
and rails it Holiday" for lack OF a
better name. The new months name
is tentative, he says. In the new
scheme Of things each month Of the
year contains % days.
Each month begins tn Sunday and
each ends with Saturday. Th1S
arrangement provides one extra day
in the year and this day or these
two days In a leap year would be
added to December and both be
made holidays.
The calendar provides that all
holidays shall fall OH Monday and
that Easter shall be stationary
feast OH the third Sunday In April.
Mr.. Hames came to the United
States 12 years ago from England.
He was ordained a year and a half
ago and came to New York in Sep
tember.
There Is no society behind my
proposed calandar," he said yesterday
This plan Is my own, but 1t seems
to have met need. 1t is based on
church calandars to some extent.
Having Christmas always in the mid
die Of the week will be one Of its ad-
vantages.
while it seems radical to talk Of
changing the calandar 1t is really
not the first time the calendar has
been changed. When there are ad-
vantages to I've gained, why not change. ?

GOOD PAINT

is cheap; and Devoe is not the only
good paint; it is one Of dozen; and,
very likely, the only one in your town.
there are hundreds Of middling and
bad.
You can see what chance there Is of
another good one there: perhaps one in
ten at the most.
Bad paint is dearest; middling is
dear; costs or 3 times as much as
the best.
No matter about the cost a gallon;
that isn't 1t; the cost square foot; the
cost job; better yet, the cost year.

Have you supply Of fruit on your
farm? If not, why not begin now to
make arrangements for It? On almost
every farm of the state there are a
few trees, producing small quantity
Of fruit. In most cases all the fruit
ripens at once and Is soon gone, giving
a supply for only short time and leav-
ing none to put away for winter use.
No southern state Is better adapted
than South Carolina to producing fruit
for home use, yet millions OF dollars
leave the state every year for canned
fruit.
Preparing Soil.
At this season of the year (Septem-
Der to October 15) orchards are usu-
ally neglected. Farmers seem to think
that there is nothing to be done then
that will be Of any material help. New
ertheless. now is the time to begin to
prepare soil for the trees that are set
out this fall and winter. Select the
orchard site, break the soil as deeply
as possible and harrow thoroughly.
This work will greatly reduce the Ia
ter labor or setting the orchard.
Choosing Varieties.
. What varieties are you going to
plant? This is point OF great i'm
portance. Be sure to make selections
that will provide fruit throughout an
entire season. II you are not familiar
with the varieties that are adapted to
your particular section; write to the
Extension Division, Clemson College,
for Bulletin No. Is. In this will be
: found lists of varieties suitable for the
various sections of the state.
Buying Trees.
Where are you going to get your
trees and what are you going to pay
for them? II you are not in touch
with a reliable nursery and If you are
not familiar with the prices of trees,
the Extension Division Of Clemson Col
lege will be glad to help you in this
matter. Beware Of the tree agent. The
