Inez Castros handbag was lying on
a dressing table; to her it was the
hand bag of Irene Courtier. She
opened it and drew forth card en-
graved with the latter name, together
with a little silver pencil. She wrote
hastily upon the card:
Il am Annette Ilington. | am con-
fined in a second-story room in the
rear of this building-the barred room
where you see the handkerchief. Look
up"
She thrust the card between the
bars and dropped it. 1t fluttered down
beyond her sight. Then she tied her
handkerchief to the lower end of one
of the bars. AS she finished she heard
a rattle at the lock of the door and
Hernandez entered the room.

Welcher, upon the advent of Inez
Castro, had left the room. Inex had
handed him a slip of paper-one that
he was anxious to peruse. He went
below to read 1t. 1t was another little
seductive note from her, asking him
to meet her once again at their tryst-
ing place-Lonesome Cove inn, three
miles south OF Seaport.
Fortified with proper stimulants,
Welcher made his way at once to that
hostelry.
At last she came. Welcher sprang
forward and caught her in his arms.

CHAPTER XIX.
Az Crooked Graz.

Hernandez, the gentleman adventur-
or, the clever smuggler of cocaine
and heroin, established his headquar-
ters at the Crooked Crag. The pro-
prietor recognized him for what he
was; there was secret compact, un-
spoken, but well understood, between
the two.
Hernandez had located himself in
the secret, sound-proof room at
Crooked Crag. He was talking over
the telephone.
1T was false move" he conceded.
Il should have steered clear of your
Newport villa. If 1t hadn't been for
the apprentice seaman, might have
turned trick. AS 1t Is, am afraid
to show myself. | think we will have
to wait for our yellow-blooded friend
to return from his failure at Annapo-
lis"
With the scrap Of paper in his pos
session Neal had excused himself to
Inez, and had started back to his
training station with a definite pur-
pose in view. Once arrived there, he
handed the crumpled slip of paper to
the officer in command and told his
story.
But all this went on unknown to
Hernandez. He had not missed the
scrap of paper.
Half an hour later on a wharf in
Newport there drew up very capable
little motor boat. Inez and her young
friend, Annette Ilington, boarded her.

she was universally resourceful She
had no father. And as for a villa at
Newport-she had never thought of
such thing until that instant. Her
villa at Newport was q castle in the

tails confuse the attention.
A great many firms in advertising
n mark down sale will specify large
number of items in every department
Of the store, itemizing each grade OF
goods, and showing how much the
out is in each item. That taxes a
lot of space. Usually 1t becomes
necessary to put 1t in small type. IL
would seem better to name specinc-
ally only a few Of the items. A line
or two OF space should be used CIV
ing a little terse information about
the goods. putting the whole thing IN
larger type that is more attractive
and restful to the eye.
This is no plea to the merchant to
increase the amount of newspaper

after merchant has decided what
space he can afford, to handle 1t IN
such a way as to attract and please
the readers eye.
The caption placed over an adver.
tisement is exceedingly important.
Some merchants head IL simply with
the name of their firm in big black
type. That stirs no particular inter
est. The reader is not interested In
the success of a particular store. He
wants to know how he can benefit
himself If he is in hurry he may
only read the headlines of an adver-
tisement. Unless the headline sug-
gests TO him that II will be for his
interest to read farther, he might
skip the whole thing
A more effective method is to give
an advertisement head ng just as
IL II was news story-as every adj
vertisement should be. The adver.
tiser should pick out the big central
feature of his message and put that
in black type. The name of the
store can be put in large type at
the bottom or otherwise featured.

THE CAUSES OF SMALL
llTTERS OF PIGS

Can you tell me why my brood
sows only bring between three and
six pigs per iitter?"
Replying to this question Prof. G..
w. Barnes, says:
IF you have studied hog conditions
In the United States you VIII find
that about four pigs per litter is the
average; and can point to you men
who are actually raising for market
two and three pigs to the litter, yet
the cost of maintenance of the brood
SOW is practically the same whether
she brings two pigs or ten pigs per
litter, which means that the farmers
are losing large percentage of prof.
1t by keeping such brood sows in
their herds.
There are several reasons why
brood sows bring small litters. and
firmly believe that the one which
contributes to the trouble more than
any other is the practice of breed.
ing sows too young. 1t is no uncom-
mon thing to find sows weighing less
than one hundred pounds with pigs.
Usually you find them with ONLY two
pigs. The young sows which You in.
tend to keep for brood sows should
never be bred under n.ne months of
age, and 1t Is much better TO wait
until they are twelve to fourteen
months old. Then IL they are not
tully developed, wait a few months
longer, Your brood SOW is good for
SIX or eight years, and If by waiting

ters' you have certainly made good
wages for those months. Another
thing which contributes to no slight
extent to cause small litters Is the
lack of exercise. A brood SOW that
does not secure sufficient exercise
becomes cross and may eat what pigs
she does farrow. Improper care and
feeding also come in as contributorv
causes of small filters. The sow IN

Illinois Mines Over
100000 Tons
Of Coal in 1914

Despite some strikes and other ra-
Their unfavorable conditions in 1914,
the production of coal for Illinois dur

tons valued at $64, ,529, according
to figures compiled by the United
States Geological Survey in coopera-
ton with the State Geological Sur.
vey Of Illinois. This tonnage is well
up with the figures of the years of
largest production In Illinois. The
supply of labor was plentiful and
transportation facilities were ade-
quate throughout the year except dur
ing the biennial shutdown, which has
now become a regular incident of
the spring months Of the even year in
Illinois coal mining, which began as
usual on April 1, 1914, and lasted in
certain districts from 80 to 60 days.
An increase in value per ton was
recorded In nearly one third Of the
coal producing counties in Illinois
during 1914, but the average value per
ton for the state declined slightly
from 81 IA in 1913 to 81 IL in 1914.
There are more coal mining coun.
ties in Illinois than in any other state
in the Union, half Of the 102 coun-
ties being or having been, producers.
The two most important producing
counties are in the southern part of
the state, where the coal beds at
tain--a greater thickness than in the
northern district. The principal in
crease in the coal production of ILL
nois in 1914 was in Franklin county,
where large amount of development
has taken place during the last four
years, advancing the county from
eighth place in 1910 to first in 1914.
In 1914 this county produced 7,311,-

1918 of 1,229,1O7 tons or over 16 per
cent.

cry. In 1914 the average production
per man in the Illinois coal mines was
724 tons for the year and Az tons for
each working day against 775 tons
for the year and Al tons for each
day in 1913. The quantity of coal
mined by machines increased from
32,63O,555 tons Of SO per cent of the
total in 1918 to 32,64O,52 tons, or Sc
per cent, in 1914. 1t is gratifying to
note the corresponding decrease in
the coal shot off the solid. In 1912
the quantity of coal thus mined by
powder in the mines of Illinois was
24,136,940 tons, or 40 per cent of the
total; in 1913 that item amounted to
2O,469,l39 tons, or 33 per cent of the
