agent in agriculture in the United
States. A lifelong friend of DR..
Bradford A. Knapp, who originated
that work, he received his appoint
ment In 1908, when the govern

when the office of state agent in

Mr.. Proctor was appointed to that
position. He came with his family
to the A. & NJ. College four years

He had wide CIRCLE of acquain

CHAPTER VIII.
In the Face of Failure

In the Face of Failure
Il was the next morning that
lhe baron summoned us to Papa
PUsper's.
We all went In the new launch
and were received with much
pomp and circumstance, but with
q oertain air of sadness on the
part OF the baron.
The others were going along the
tiny wharf toward old Prosper on
his gallerie, when the baron
touched my sleeve. "A moment
Doctor, you and our friend"
We followed him aboard the
Good Child and into'the low-roof-
cd space. The baron pulled aside
. piece of sail cloth, and there
was a rude chest of thick strips
of wood banded with rusty iron.
The old man pointed to the lid of
wood and sheet lead.
Throw 1t back" our host said.
You see I have the key. 1t has
been in my possession for fifty
four years"
eve looked at him in some
establishment. His airy pretense
was quite gone; he was smiling
with a brave sadness.
Then Virgil, bending, threw
back the heavy and rotted slab of
the treasure box. Within that
narrow loaded space was an OPEN
cd case elegantly inlaid with pearl,
within which was pair of dueling
pistols, beautiful weapons; a tar
nished candlestick, a dull brass
ships compass, mass of rotted
woven stuff, and pair of nodded
boots, high and fine of leather
and 0rnamentation.
"There is nothing here of note, :"
muttered.
Exactly" said Baron Pohn.
"And what there is, / put there"
"You!"'

Papa Prosper had ambled dowr

Clell and Mary with unrufflet
courtesies. Then to us he came.

quietly into that ships chest with
its foolish rubbish. He looked up
and then quietly called to me.

said, and went below again.

aboard the Good Child to where
the Texan sat once more on the
broken inner casing of Armand
Drouillot's cabin chest from the
wrecked slave ship.
"Well?" I said after watching

For answer, he reached in his
khaki pocket and took out a
coarse bundle. There were papers

NAME COP. DELEGATES
Republicans in Wisconsin Get To-
gether With Senator LaFollette.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 27.-Adminis-
tration Republican leaders of Wiscon-
sin are here to attend a conference
this afternoon. 1t is expected a com
plete list of delegates to the national
convention at Chicago will be recon-
mended to the voters at the April
primary, when a choice will be made
between those named today and a list
chosen by the followers of Senator
LaFollette and district conference.
There is a possibility that the con-
erence will endorse a candidate for
United States senator to oppose Sena-
tor LaFollette.
This conference declares its oppo-
sition to the military bill, and, in the
event of it becoming law, decides to
agitate for its repeal
