revolution or set up an empire? Kane
had done no more than thousands of other
men all over the Southwest. In what way
was a man superior to his kind who de-
clines to live among them, and who elects
to spend his days among cowboys and
long-haired MeXicans?
Resentment enveloping her like a tor
turing garment, Mavis turned off the
lights and lifted the shade to let in the
fugitive moonlight. Then, with the re-
membrance that this was New York and
not New Mexico, she drew the shade and
crept into bed. She lay there wide awake,
the darkness expressing her. The once
familiar noises of the Avenue now came
up disturbing, alien, and the far-away
roar of the elevated drummed too heavily
but the wind of the plains.
HER hour of ecstasy had passed. Over
her crept at last the certainty, growing
slowly through the days, that she had
ceased to be all that she once was. Ten
years had wrenched her, root and branch,
out of the old life, and the fibers of her
being had refused to be transplanted into
the new.
A month had passed since she had first
set foot, dust-worn and shabby, in her
Aunt Julia's drawing-room. Since then,
if her days had not been full, the fault
had not been with Aunt Julia. There
were endless rounds of visits to the mani
cure, the mlliner, the costumer.
With amiable serenity Mrs. Ryburn
waved away Mavis's protests as to the
cost.
"This is my particular treat. You poor
child, life owes you something for those
ten years."
But, lying there in the darkness, Mavis
recalled that look she surprised some
times on Aunt Jula's face-when, for
instance, interested friends persisted in
talking to her of Kane, and asking when
Mavis would return, and why Kane had
not come, too? The look was always
yelled quickly by Aunt Julia's dropped
lids, but its hard, cynical amusement
rasped on some raw nerve in NIaviss soul.
WHEN Mrs. Ryburn announced plac-
idly one morning that they would
leave that afternoon for her summer home
on Long Island Mavis flushed with pleas
ure. She had always loved the place be-
cause the water was near. On their first
night there, a summer storm came up,
and, lulled by the ruffled waters of the
Sound and the rushing wind, Mavis fell
asleep. She slept long and late-and
went down to find her aunt home for
luncheon from IA cross-country drive, and
Isabel jerome with her.
For ten years Isabel had haunted Mavis's
memory like a half-forgotten phantom.
Once Kane and Isabel had been sweet
hearts. They We're distantly akin, and
the family had expected them to marry.
Mavis knew that kanes relatives had
suffered a shock of surprise and disap-
pointment when Kane had married her
instead. Now, suddenly visualized, the
phantom appeared-no apparition at all,
but very beautiful flesh and blood. A
quick color sprang to Mavis's face as she
gave Isabel her hand.
"Why didn't you bring Kane with your"
Isabel said. SCR is he joined to his idols?"
"kane has never wanted to come back"
Mavis said coldly. She did not explain
that there had been no time in all the
wears when ha cnuld ba,-o ,np,o

The THRlCE-A-WEEK EDITION
OF TIE NEW YORK WORLD

Practically a Daily at the Price of
Weekly. No other Newspaper in
the world gives SO much at so low a
price.
There has never been a time
when a newspaper was more need
ed in the household. The great war
in Europe has now entered its
I'd year, with no promise of an end
for a long time. These are world
shaking events, in which the United
States, willing or unwilling, has
been compelled to take part. No
intelligent person can ignore such
issues.
The Presidential contest also will
soon be at hand. Already candi-
dates for the nomination are in the
field, and the campaign, owing TO
the extraordinary character of the
times. will be of supreme interest.
No other newspaper will inform
you with the promptness and
cheapness of the Thrice a-Week
edition Of the New York World.
THE THRICE = A = WEEK

price is only S1.00 per year, and
this pays for 156 papers. We offer
this unequalled newspaper and

Good Ball Game

The first game of the season was
played last Saturday afternoon on
the Monterey diamond by the home
team and the institution boys from
Staunton, and it was the best ball
ever played here.
That the two mines were we'll
matched seemed apparent from the
start, for neither scored until the
third inning. In this Monterey
made two runs, and the deadlock
was resumed until the 9Th. Each
side scored a run IN the 9th, 9TH
and Sth, the 9th being a shut. out,
and the result stood 4 to ) in favor
of the locals.
The Staunton bows reached town
late Friday ight, thereybv missing
one of the chief delights IF the trip,
viz A daylight drive over the
mountains. They were entertained
at Hotel Monterey, and Saturday
forenoon two carloads of friends
from Stuunton and the institution
came out to NitEess the game.
Highland is too far from profess
sional ball to become generally en-
Unused, but much interest was
manifested in Saturdays game,
and the locals made a reputation
of which the county NAV be proud.
Two or three hundred persons wit
messed the game.
1t is understood that the Monte
rey team will play Dayton on Fri
day, May II, going from there to
Stanton for a second bout with
the Y. S. D. B. nine.

WHEN LOOKING FOR GAS LEAK
Some Safety Rules Which May Do
Away With Necessity Of Engaging
Services of Undertaken.

Here is a set Of standard instruc-
lions for persons who notice gas in
their rooDs:
If the snell of gas is strong, first
yentilate the room.
Then examine the keys to the tx
lures, stove or other appliances. One
of them may be partly open.
II a fixture or connection Is broken
he sure your windows are raised;
then 60 to the nearest phone and no.
tify the gas company.
After notification try to putty up
the leak or close it with any substance
that will make an effective plug.
Never look for g leak with match
or any fame, lantern OF lamp.
If you find a person overcome py
the gas, throw up the windows, drag
the unconscious one to the open ar
and then telephone physician.
After telephoning the physician,
telephone the gas company and tell
of the accident. Most companies now
own pulmotors. 1t is an appliance for
pumping gas out of persons lungs
and injecting pure air in its stead.
This is an invaluable aid to the
doctc=.

SUNDAY
BANTAM CHAMPION
WILL MAKE FIRST APPEAR
ANCE AT SOUTHERN'S

Fresh from his victory over
frankie Brown, of New York, Pete
Herman, the Southern bantam pu-
gilistic champion, will go a ten
round boxing contest with Kid Kel-
ly, at Suthon's Park, tomorrow
Kid Kelly has a reputation as wide
and perhaps wider, than the South
ern champion, and friends of the
sport are looking forward to one of
the most spectacular fights ever
witnessed in Louisiana.
The fight will be staged at the
large skating rink at Suthon' s
Park, which has been fitted up with
the ring platform and seats.
This will be Pete Herman's first
appearance in Houma as a pugilist,
but Houma people remember him
well, as Houma is his native town,
and lived here until a few years ago.
After he left Houma he went stronr
into athletics and soon won his
spurs in the pugilistic world. 1t was
through many a hard and brilliant
fight tlaat Herman finally won the
Southern Bantam championship
and few days ago he defeated
frankie Brown, of New York.
Seats will be sold at the following
prices: side chair seats, IS cents;
general admission so cents.

Bourgeois Arouses Police Jury to
Need Of More Aid in Splendid
Appeal in Behalf Of
Public Schools

Stating that the future of four
thousand children of this parish was
involved in the need of longer school
terms, Superintendent H. L. Bour-
geois made strong plea before the
Police Jury last Wednesday for an
additional mill to be set aside out of
the Parish taxes for school purposes.
He said that the time had come
when it was up to the people to de-
eide whether or not the school sys-
tenn should remain stationery or
whether it should go forward, that
if the school system of this parish is
to keep abreast of the progress made
and being made by the parishes
more advanced along educational
lines, they must be prepared to pay
for nine months term in all the
ward parishes, and to pay the teach
ers as much as the more advanced
parishes are paying them.
He cited one or two instances
where the school system here is
about to lose the services of compe-
tent teachers because other parishes
have offered them better salaries.
He said that it is always best for the
school system to avoid changing
teachers, when those teachers are

The work of the Housewives Lea
que in New Orleans, in the creation
of SO called curb stone markets in
several localities in the city, may
prove a great boon to the truck
growers of Terrebonne Parish.
According to information furnish
ed Miss Kate Minor, representative
of the League in this Parish, the
first shipment of Terrebonne truck
from Mr.. Pelican Duplantis' farm
above Houma, to the Housewives
League, was received last Tuesday,
in excellent condition, and was sold
at good price. A letter from Mrs.
W. o. Hayward, purchasing agent
for the League, expressed the graf
ification of the League at the excel
lent condition and quality of the
products shipped from Terrebonne.
Mr.. w. T. Cobb, Parish Agricul-
tural Agent, is cooperating with
Miss Minor in getting the truck
growers to ship to the Housewives
League, and they have received full
est assurances from the Wells
Fargo Express Co. of that company's S
ing low express rates on truck from

despatch and delivery of the goods
at the markets.
The League has established these
'curbstone markets" at two places
in New Orleans, one on Magazine
and the other on Prytania Streets,
and is planning to establish them in
| other parts of the city later on. The
| two already started are proving to
be wonderful successes. The veg
etables are received direct from the
| country daily by the Housewives
League, and sold at these two sta
| tions, by which arrangement the
customer is saved the exhorbitant
profit which the regular markets
have made, only a reasonable profit
being made to defray the expenses
of handling the goods and maintain
ing the League as marketing or
ganization. The vegetables are
