carried an interminable distance through an underground passage, and flung into a corner in a damp cellar.
 A tall, heavily built and altogether stunning Granadian leaped upon her, leashing her arms to her waist and binding her ankles together. He jerked Adams belt from her. Coarse ness and brutality. and that he was a grandiloquent and cunning type, were stamped upon his features as he stood over her.
 She crouched back, disheveled, un- afraid searching her brain to account for his audacity in Kidnapping her that night on American soil and right under the eyes and ears of an American bor- der garrison.
 He seemed to be musiRg over the belt with his back partly toward her. Just behind him cluster of electric lights from some unknown and fitful current burned in the ceiling, reflect ing a shadow against the farther wall. There was something unusual about this shadow, for while Bolero-for it was he-stood like stone, the shadow was animated.
 Although Pearl had never heard BO- lero's voice, she was quick to recognize something odd in the Granadian ac- cents which were now spoken.
 "Senor has badly blundered. This is not the girl, although this is the belt Senor will hide the belt somewhere The girl must be released at once. She is the American colonel's daughter and Captain Payne was to have been her husband.
 Pearl not only heard this speech in surprise, for she could not see Bo- leros lips move at all, but what was more confusing was the disappearance of the shadow though Bolero had not changed his position.
 His meditation, if such it was, came to an end. He concealed the belt in q cache and approached her.

 He was stooping, as if to free her when her fingers touched his revolver clutched it; and she held him at bay before he quite comprehended what had transpired.

FIFTH EPISODE
Somewhere in Granada.

For several seconds no one stirred. All stared at Adams In sheer amaze ment. It was Toko who broke the sus- pense by entering and whispering to Miss Dare.
 Pearl looked at her chauffeur blank ly. "Where-here? Did she give you her name?"
 Toko shook his head.
 Miss Dare excused herself and stepped into the corridor. There a naughty and stylishly dressed young woman awaited her.
 Pearl immediately recognized the gin whom she had seen when the corpse of Captain Payne was discov- cred at the railroad wreck.
 You are Miss Dare, I believer?
 Pearl bowed formally. And you?"
 Her caller smiled faintly. 'Is the name of Miss Bertha Bonn unfamiliar to you?s
 II regret to say that it is. Please be brief for I am engaged. I saw you at the railroad wreck yesterday, didn't If'
 "Yes,' said Bertha Bonn, abruptly. "That has something to do with my visit to you here-that and this" She took from her mesh bag a slim, oblong packet and sealed note. Do you recall the strange man with the lan- tern who helped you to identify Cap tain Payne?'
 A thrill shot through Pearl. "Ad- ans !" she gasped before she could restrain herself
 "Yes-is he here?"
 Pearl eyed her suspiciously. ''He Is. Do you wish to communicate to him through mel"
 Bertha placed the packet and note in Miss Dare's hand. Not ten min utes ago I received a visitor at my apartment in the Hotel Wilton," she explained. "He was dressed in the uniform of Senate building guard and was very much upset. He told me that a grave injustice was being done to a man by the name of T. o. Adams of Monks Corner, Nebraska, and that if I came here immediately ard deliv- cred these things to you 1t would prob ably be the means of saving his life. He gave me written order of admis- sion. So here l am."
 "Why, of all persons, were you cho- sen as his messenger?" was all Pearl could think of saying in that sur prising moment.
 Thus far Bertha had spoken the truth. But now she became evasive. The return of her locket containing

PAGE'S WEEKLY LETTER

Little Rock, Oct. Both, 1917
1t pays to farm good land. Some
fields produce a bale of cotton
per acre while others produce
less than a third of bale per
acre The breaking, planting and
cultivation on the good soil is just
about the same as on the poor
soils. The only added cost in pro
ducing the larger yield is in the
picking and marketing When
cotton is worth $4,000 per bale
the difference in the earning ca
pacity of the better land as com
pared with he poorer land would
be $1,000 less the cost of add
tional picking, etc.
In many parts of the state one
finds fields with big gullies wash
ed in them. Sometimes gully is
not formed but a little soil is re-
moved each year until the hard
clay shows at the surface. A
good system of terracing will
hold the water so that it will run
oft around the hill slowly instead
of dashing directly down the
steepest slope. This will pre-
vent washing and at the same
time cause more of the water to
soak into the soil When it will be
of use to the future crop. The
broad or mangum terrace should
be used. The narrow terrace
breaks easily and has the disad-
vantage of not being wide enough
so a row of corn or cotton can be
put on it. The cost of terracing
field usually does not exceed
$500 per acre.
Lack of drainage Is also cause
of unproductive lands. This win
ter the surface bitches should be
opened up so the water can get
away. Breaking on wet land
should be done in beds from Is
to so feet wide. If the dead fur.
row opens in a ditch at the end
of the field much of the surface
water will be carried off. Broad
beds are always better than a
bed for each row. Just little at
tention to terracing and draining
will increase the yield next year
a great deal.

Advertising a Necessity; Investment not

Expense

great deal of money by dropping
the publicity expense, says the

We know of dry goods man
who built up an enormous bust
ness in a small town through ad-
vertising. He reached the top es
tablished reputation, then pro
ceeded to get rich by saving his

newspaper displays, and ran on
momentum. How long did it
