a great box from New Orleans-sGnt
by fiatboat to Louisville, hauled
thence on a clumsy oak-runner sledge,
tolted slowly over the rutty road, by
the patient oxen. Toinette cried out
r~apturously as she drew forth from
the great chest walking dresses or
white j~aconet muslin; a China robe

equate cloak of sarsenet silk; tiny
slippers of white kid and r~ose-colored
silk and a precious packet containing
a ferroniere, u headband of fiat gold

hanging from its clasp down on the
forehead. II was Patrice's birthday

Amended Vaccination Rules.

There is number of serious epidemics of smallpox in the state at the present time. Surgeon General Blue and Surgeon General Gorgas, members of the War Coun- Gil at Washington, are urging that vaccination be enforced throughout the United Stated, as hnusal con- ditions are rapidly arising and it is desired to control all contagious diseases possible. For this reason the State Board of Health have amended their vaccination rules to read as follows:
 l25. No person shall be entered as teacher, employee or pupil in public or private school in this State without having first presented to the principal in charge or the proper authorities, a certif- cate from licensed and compe- tent physician of this state certi- lying that said teacher employee or pupil has been successfully vac cinated: or in lieu of a certificate of successful vaccination, a certificate certifying recent vaccination done in the proper manner by a competent physician; or a eertifi- cate showing immunity from hav- ing had smallpox. The respons- biity for the enforcement of this regulation shall rest equally on each and every member of the school board. the superintendent, principal or teacher in charge and the parent or guardian of the pupil, and each of them shall be sepa- rately and individually liable for permitting any violation of this regulation. If. in the discretion of the health officer having jurisdic- ton, any person to whom this reg ulation applies shall have physical disability which may eontraincate vaccination. a certificate to that ef- feet, issued by the said health of ficer, stating the standardization,

This is most gratifying. and proves the loyalty and patriotism of our peo- pie. Grateful acknowledgements are made to the many willing work CTS and contributors all over the county, who cooperated so splen- didly in making this matter suc- cess.

WAR-SAvING THRIFT STAMPS
And war-SayinQ Certificates Explained Good
 and Safe Way to Practice Economy.

The war-savings plan provided for in the last bond act, of Septem- Der 24. 1917, has been formulated and announced by the treasury de- partment and went into operation on Monday, December s.
 The plan puts 1t easily in reach of every American citizen to save money and at the same time aid the government by supplying it with the snews of war.
 Stamps, which are the govern ment's certificates of indebted ness, are to be sold in two denomi- nations-thrift stamps, which cost 25 cents each, and war-savings stamps, which cost from $4.12 to $4.25 each, according to the month in which they are purchased.
 With the first thrift stamp the purchaser is given a thrift card with spaces for Is stamps. When l6 thrift stamps have been pur- chased and affixed the thrift card can be exchanged for the warsaw ings stamp by paying the difference between the $4 the thrift stamps represent and the current value of a war-savings stamp, which in De- cember, 1917, and January, 1918 will be $4.l2, and thsrsafter l cent for each succeeding month during the year 1918.
 With the first wars savings stamp obtained by purchase or exchange the owner is given a war-savings certificate containing spaces for 20 war-savings stamps. If the 90 spaces are filled during December. 1917, and January. 1913. the cost to the purchaser will be $4.l2 for each stamp. or $82. 40 for the full certificate, and on the 1st day of January, 1925, the government will redeem the certificate at $lOO. giving the holder net profit of $1Z.6O for the use of his money.
 Although these investments do not mature until January l, 1925, provision is made whereby upon 10 days written notice after January l, 1918. such certificates will be redeemed by postmasters at their cost to the purchaser plus l cent month on each war-savngs stamp on the certificate.
 The thrift stamps do not bear in- terest, but the war savings stamps bear 4 per cent. compounded guar terly. The certificates will be dated January 1918, and mature January 1, 1925.
 Under the plan an amount as small as 25 cents can be invested in a government security, and as soon as $4 has been thus invested an interest-bearing certificate of the United States government can be secured.
 The stamps and certificates can be obtained from postoffices. banks or trust companies, at most rail- road stations, stores, factories and many other public places.
 Having the entire wealth of the United States back of them. and being redeemable as above stated, there is no danger of any depreoia- tion in value of the certificates.

Tells Of His Trip Abroad.

l sN'S VI Nbt Vu0s
 Congressman Goodwin who re- turned last week from five weeks visit to the war zone of western Europe said in an informal talk with Washington newspaper men that he was particularly glad to have been in Europe during the past few weeks as they have been in many respects the most critical since our advent into the war. The Kerensky government failed Tn Russia and such authority as re- mained was captured by the ele- ment favoring the Central powers: the great Italian retreat and losses were sustained. and there was change of ministry in France and similar crisis narrowly averted in England during MT. Goodwin's vis- it. Tn spite of the adverse happen ings, said MT Goodwin, the troops of the allies remained un- shaken in their firm determination to win and the morale of the men was never better. They have proven themselves better soldiers man for man than the flower of the German military machine which has been in course of construction for many years.
 T saw thousands of our boys of all branches ofthe service and they are in the finest of spirits and anx- ious to get into the fray. talked with men. officers and civilians of this country ana of our allies and all agreed that never has a finer body of men gone into any war than those we are sending and never have men been better pre- pared for. We saw white bread only on the soldiers table and money could not buy it for a civil ian in all Europe. Our privates re- ceive $l.lO a day, the British | privates 25 cents and the French 5 cents. The Germans are stead fly losing on the western front and the issue will be determined there, no matter what may transpire else where. A long hard struggle must be anticipated but there can be no question as to the final outcome, we will win.
 MT. Goodwin met with many of-l ficers and privates of the Ameri- can oversea forces with whom he was acquainted and mentioned among others Major Harold C. Fiske, U. s. Engineers, lately in charge of the Vicksburg district engineers office and well known in Southern Arkansas where he has had charge of government work on the Red, Ouaehita and other streams. Several months ago MT. Goodwin and Major Fiske attended series of meeting in Ouachita and Union counties for the discussion of plans for the development of navigation and neither of them had at that time remodest idea that they should next meet on the bat tie front in France. The Major was in charge of bridge and high way construction in Flanders. He expressed a lively interest in the completion of the Ouachta project and his confidence that it would prove one of the most successful examination schemes upon which the government has been engaged

What Did He Mean2

Until three O'Clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley of the Tombs prison
was q perfectly contented warden, says
a New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that a man with a frock coat and
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to return at three o'clock,
Mr.. Hanley cut short his tour of the
prison and returned to his office. He
found that the caller had called, fumed
and finally left this note: Thirty
years ago my father, who was Of me-
dunn height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as heat denunciator In
a metal mill In Pittsburgh. For years,
or at least for considerable time, he
told no one. However, 1t was common
rumor Now, after all these years,
does it seem that man would DELHI
erately take any such action? What
would be his motive? / ask you as
a humanitarian to discuss this with no
one Merely use 1t for your own nfor-
nation and proceed likewise. I leave
for Pittsburgh at four o'clock, but trust
you implicitly.-A Friend" At late
hour Warden Hanley, having read the
note through 90 times, was reading it
through for the ninety-third time.

blinking as if momentarily blinded. and
Alaire clutched at the nearest chair
for support. A roaring began in her
ears she felt herself sway forward as
if the strength had left her knees. She
heard Dawes voice family; he was say
ing:
Take care of my horse. Feed and

General Longorio comes tell him I am
waiting here"
AS if in dream, Alaire saw the
Mexican go out, closing the door be-
hind him. Then she saw Dave come
toward her, heard him speak her name,
felt his arms around her.
Alaire did not swoon, but she never
could remember very distinctly those
first few moments. Scarcely knowing
what she did, she found herself cling
ing to her lover, laughing, weeping,
feeling him over with shaking hands
that would not be convinced of his
reality. She was aware of his kisses
upon her lips, her eyes, her hair; he
was saying something which she could
not understand because of that roaring
in her ears.

the questions he was putting to her,

sort of hypnotic murmur, as if her
words issued at his mental suggestion.
And all the time she snuggled against
his breast.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Priest From MoncIova.

That was q night of terror for the
women. Although Longorio's disci-
Ipline was in some ways strict. in 9th
.ers it was extremely lax. From some
quarter his men had secured a supply
of mescal, and, forgetful of Felipe's
unhappy fate. they rendered the hours
hideous. There were singing and quar-
Ireling, and a shot or two sounded from
the direction of the outbuildings. Morn
ing found both Alaire and Dolores
sadly overweight. But they felt
some relief upon learning that the gen
eral had been unexpectedly summoned
from his bed at daylight, and had rid
den to the telegraph office.
Profiting by his absence, Alaire ven
tured from her room, racking her brain
to devise some means of escape. But
soldiers were everywhere; they lolled
around the servants quarters; they
dozed In the shade of the ranch build
ings, recovering from the nights de
bauch; and an armed sentinel who
paced the hacienda road gave evidence
that, despite their apparent careless
ness, they had by no means relaxed
their vigilance. A round of the prem
ises convinced Alaire that the place
was actually guarded, and showed her
the futility of trying to slip away. She
realized, too, that even If she managed
to do so, her plight would be little
better. For how could she hope to
cover the hundred miles between La
Feria and the Rio Grande when every
peon was an enemy?
She was standing in one of the open
sashless windows when her former

'Why do you ask?" Alaire was Gu
