"Since you have probably saved my
life," said she, 1T would not be CRATE
full Of me to deny any wish of yours.
But will agree not to tell only on one
condition. You must promise to come
to me and let me hear all about it
when it is over.
II promise said Gard.
"And you must let me say that
think you are wonderful to do the
things you do, and that thank you"
She placed her dainty glove in his
grimy workingman's hand for, a mo-

It was wild Saturday night at Jean
Flavot's. The occasion of the cele-
bration was the ending of the season
on the sugar docks. For seven months
in the year the Continental Refining
company was busy with sugar that
poured in upon it from Cuba and Por-
to Rico and Santo Domingo and other
lands to the south. Then there was
period of five months when there was
no sugar from the outside and refners
turned their attention to the home
grown crop.
Those men who had worked togeth-
er in the comradery of the docks for
seven months this season, and perhaps
for many a year before, we're tomOr-
row to be dispersed. They would be
scattered about at many places and
would play their part in the handling
Of the raw sugar that came from the
canefields of Louisiana and the beet
lands of Colorado and Michigan. Most
probably they would meet again on
these same docks five months later.
But assuredly there was every reason
why they should end the season in one
mad carouse.
Billy Gard was present. Through
the weeks that had passed he had grad
ually frightened the net that revealed
to the government the conditions that
existed on the sugar docks. But his
case might still be strengthened, for.
he wanted the whole story from man
who participated in the Irregularities,
and in such a way that it might be in
troduced into court as evidence, This
was the last opportunity and the spe-
cial agent hoped that the story might
be told tonight when the samplers
were reckless over their liquor.
Jean Flavot brought whisky and
beer when the big-fsted Hansen beat

Those Who Stay at Home.

The vacation habit is growing with
the American people. every year
larger numbers go away.
And the value of this habit is freely
recognized. A vacation at the right
time not only saves many, man and
woman from a breakdown, but also
adds an interest and a joy in life which
would otherwise not be there.
Nevertheless, it must be admitted
that the majority of people are coma
PEELED by necessity to remain at home
during the summer months. They
have no option in the matter. Yet they
can console themselves with the reflec-
ton that in many ways their lot is
more comfortable than that of those
who go. Summer hotels and boarding
houses are seldom as they are pic
tured. An entire house is more COM
Portable in warm weather than one or
two small and perhaps stuffy rooms.
Unless one knows to just what he is
going there is great element OF
chance in vacation.
The person who is compelled to be
at home can, however, vary his man
ner of life. He can live out OF doors
in much larger measure than in other
months. In cities he has open before
him a multitude Of short outings.
Beaches and rivers. and even noun
tains, are available if he can get
week end. He may possibly get a
variety in his summer which others
who are away do not get. And GER
tainly he can learn how to let up, and
SO be in better trim for the fall which
is coming. Gloucester Times.

eight years previous, when the wet
sample scheme had been inaugurated.
He had worked out an estimate of the
probable duty that the government
had lost during that time. The actual
loss was not, of course, as great as
the theoretical, for many of the SAM
pies were of necessity honest. Yet it
must have run as high as 100000 as
a shortage on the part Of Gottrell and
his associates.
s Gard indicated the possibility of the
success of criminal prosecution, the
probability of recovering that large
sum of money through the courts. He
confessed to the humiliation OF the
government that SO many of its en-
ployees had been false to their trMst.
He even granted that the government
might, under the circumstances, feel
itself somewhat to blame fer the con-
ditiOns that had existed It is not
recorded whether the vision of a girl
with frizzly, corn-colored hair came in
to the mind of the special agent and
had to do with his recommendations
that the case be settled out of court.
But certain it is that the government
authorized him to propose that, il the
company should pay the government
100000, an amount it would be jast
able to raise and escape bankrupcy,
the case would be dismissed, the sam-
piers discharged, and new regime
inaugurated in which the government
would take pains to protect itself.
Upon this basis the case was set
tied. Billy Gard had earned his sal
airy.
The next day he was packing up at
his hotel in preparation for leaving for
Washington when there arrived by
messenger a little, square, delicately
scented envelope which he tore open
somewhat Wonderingly. Inside he
found this note:
Father has told me all about It.
For the third time let me say 'splen.

ished to come and tell me about it
when it was all over.

reason why Gard was day late. in

upon the table. Billy Gard stood upon
his chair and drank to the time when
they would all get together again IN
der the cobwebs that decorated the,
ceiling Of the little Frenchman. He
led three lusty cheers for that time,
for none was so abandoned on these
occasions as the youngster who had
saved the presidents daughter. And
FIavot and Billy interchanged a
wink, for they had a secret between
them. Both knew that the beverage
that the special agent drank with such
recklessness was nothing more than
cold tea, and the little Frenchman de-
lighted in seeing his favorite lead
these American pigs, who knew no de-
cency in drinking, on to complete in
ebriety.
But Gard had secret from even
Flavot which had to do with a grimy
little man who sat at a nearby table
and who had of late frequented the
place-a seedy,. long-haired, sallow
man who worked always with pencil
over the manuscript of play he was
writing. AS true genius he paid no
attention to what went on around him,
but always pored over his papers.
But this same man in Washington
was star stenographer at the depart
ment of justice, a dapper, one-time
court reporter, the man who had han
died the listening end of many die
tagraph when the ways were being
creased between men in high places
and the penitentiary at Atlanta.
"And you samplers" Gard was saying,
where can meet you when another
Saturday night comes?''

"And the company sends me to Col

consumpiiVe.

Did Papa Go to School?

Although he had lived most Of his
six years in classic Irvington, Richard
decided after few days in school that
he did not like it, and announced that
he wished to quit school.
The father received the announce.
ment without comment, but Saturday,
when he had number of calls to
make downtown he took Richard with
him. 1t was raining.
Whenever Richard and his father
passed man doing manual labor or
disagreeable work, the father said ;
There, Richard, is a man who would
not go to school when he was boy"
Tramping the wet streets was tire
some to Richard, who began to doubt
whether his fathers work was easier
than that of the other rainy-day toll
ers. He said nothing, however. until
evening, when the family was seated
at the dinner table.
Then came the question that had
been forming in his mind: 'Papa,
did you go to school when you were
q little boy?"-Indianapolis News.

posted. In the midst Of this sweep
a single sack of sugar slipped from be-
meath the ropes and came HURTING
out and down as though it were pro-
jectile from a sling.
The pink parasol was standing un-
consciously with its back turned de
rectly in the course Of the flying bag.
The vision OF spring beneath it was
gazing away to where a sail was just
taking the fresh breeze. Billy Gard
and his truck were emerging from the
shed for new load Of sugar. And
here was a young man quick to act
and with training that enabled him
to do so effectively.
Three strides and a leap into the
air were all the time allowed. But
this was enough to make it possible
fer him to tackle about the waist the
catapulted sugar sack, much as he
had often tackled the member of an
opposing team who tried to go around
his end in the old football days. To
be sure this end play was the fastest
he had ever seen and resulted in a
good spill, but it was success. The
pink parasol was uninjured.
Thelma Gottrell came to a realiza-
ton of what had happened about the
time Gard was getting himself to his
feet. She ran to him spontaneously
and would have helped him to rise
had he shown the forethought to be a
little slower.
81 do hope you are not hurt" she
began ct was splendid oh! What?
1t is Mr.. Gard, isn't it? How in the
world" she stopped in CONSERVATION.
Billy Gard grinned foolishly.
Don't give me away" he pleaded
with her. "It is a very great secret
and it would all be spoiled if you did.
A writing man must have color, must
know life, you know. Please don't
spoil my chance by telling a single
soul about it.

That he might get on a more init.
mate basis with these samplers Gard
went to work as laborer on the docks,
and there toiled for two months. He
came to be most intimately one OF
them, was given every opportunity for
observing their work, was even in
trusted with certain valuable conf
dences when the men were sober and
saw his way toward learning mere by
associating with them when they were
in their cups.
His task was but half finished, how
ever, when the maiden with the frizzy
hair and the freckles came near up
setting the beans. The daughter Of
the president of the company had
played through her childhood on the
docks and about the warehouse and
was not yet averse to climbing stacks
of sugar sacks or descending into the
holds of the ships. So it happened that
she often visited the water front, and
Gard had at first feared he might be
recognized, but this fear wore away
as the visits were repeated and no
attention was paid to him.
But one busy day he was carting
away the sacks of sugar that were be-
ing unloaded in packages of twenty or
SO, slung in ropes and lifted by mighty
derricks, when Miss Gottrell strolled
down the docks under pink parasol
and in the midst of an array of fluffy,
spring ruf1es such as make a healthy,
wholesome girl outrival in beauty the
orchids of the most tropically luxuri-
ant Jungle
The special agent had always liked
corn-colored hair and freckles on the
nose and worshiped at the shrine of
the physically fit. Besides which this
girl had enthusiasm and intelligence
and inspiration. And it was spring
and he was youngster shut off from
his kind and lonesome. He had thought
Of her a lot Of times since that day
he had interested her by pretending
to be something he was not. Now he
rather resented it that she should be
there and he perspiring laborer, not
daring to speak to her.
And just at that time something
very startling happened. The great
crane of the ship drew another load
of sugar from the hold and swung it
majestically over the dock. In doing
SO it described great sweep in reach

Will be spoiled. but the danger of heel
ing is much more common fault and
needs to be especially guarded against.
The precaution that safeguards the

In the days of the long, narrow

the toe would have entailed all sorts Of
trouble: but with the modern, small
heads the principle became as drastic
as law Of the Modes and Persians.
1t is the surest way to escape a sea of
