400 pounds. The grains, If properly
cured, are not broken by this pound
ing, although 1t would crush TO pulp
any other cereal. From these NOR
tars the rice is removed TO -four
screens, where the whole grains are
separated from the flour and chaff.
During the various processes the rice
becomes heated through friction, and
at this stage it passes into cooling
bins, where 1t remains for eight or
nine hours. 1t is then passed over
brush screens, where the smaller rice
and flour are separated from the larg-
er kernels. The grain is now ready
for the polisher, to give 1t the pearly
luster
The polishing is done by friction
against the rice of pieces of moose
hide or sheepskin, tanned and worked
to a wonderful degree of softnesS.
These skins are loosely hung around
the sides of revolving cylinder con
structed of wood and wire gauZe.
From the polisher the rice goes to the
separating screens. which grade the
rice for the market
Rice is a member of the grass fam
lily, and there are numerous varieties
cultivated throughout the world. As
1t is the principal food of a large pro-
portion of the earth's population. rice
growing is one of the oldest agricul-
tural Industries known to man.
The average annual imports Of
cleaned rice into the United States
is about 125,OO0O00 bushels, and that
Of broken rice, -four and meal, over
100000 bushels more. The demand
for the better qualities of rice in this
country has always exceeded the sup
ply, and now that this country has
been called upon TO feed a large pro-
portion of the warning nations, the
rice growers of the South and of Cal
ifornia are assured Of a ready mar
ket for their supplies.

descending near some German out

tile cavalry that galloped into a corner
Of the field where the airplaLe had

make its occupants prisoners.
At the side of the field farthest from
the Germans lay wood and the space
between the airplane and the trees was
so small that the machine could not
rise into the air in that direction. All
that the pilot could do in his endeavor
to escape was to run his machine
across the ground directly toward the
approaching horsemen and seek to rise
sufficiently high to sweep above their
heads. He took his machine abruptly
into the air and flew down straight
toward them. thinking that his chance
was poor. and expecting either to he
struck himself by bullets or to have
some vital part of his machine hit.
There was, one point in his favor,
however: the German cavalrymen, ta-
ken by surprise when the aircraft
came rushing toward them, had
opened fire in a scattering and very
haphazard manner. Only just above
their heads. although travelling very
fast, swept the airplane, with its pilot
and passenger crouching low in their

send her baggage by train and motor
up with him to the Catskiils.
Judge Freeman took the liberty q

saw that II was checked to Blsndike,

tears.
Again her father left her, his
anxiety greater than before.
When Doctor Royce made his morn
ing call on his beloved patient, Gloria.
he found her still progressing toward
complete recovery from her illness.
But her spirits did not seem Joyous As
they should be. He thought bitterly
that this might be due to his orders
that she should not be allowed to see
Freneau. He told her that he with.
drew the embargo and her rapture
confirmed his fears.
That afternoon he chanced to be
passing David stafford's home Just ~
David stepped from his car. David

Gideon Trask, the bargeman. had
infinite patience in pursuit of his re-
venge. but so far he had been unfe-
warded. Unable to run down Freneau
elsewhere. he picked on the Pierpont
Stafford home as the most likely and
also the most fitting place to accost
him. 1t was there that he had first
seen Freneau in New York. He
stood by the iron-barred gate. watch
ing, until . policeman drove him away.
Then he crossed Riverside drive to the
Soldiers and Sailors monument and
resumed more distant watch over
the house.
Freneau was indeed there; he had
come to bid Gloria good-by. He told
her he was leaving on . midnight
train.
Gloria was reclining on the chaise
Tongue. exquisitely attired in an ivory
colored lace peignoir. the bands of
white swansdown which trimmed It
no winter than her own fair skin. Her
beautiful hair. drawn lightly into a
knot at the top Of her little head, made
her look more like child playing at
being grown-up than she had q right
to look with all her twenty-one years.
Freneau had paused moment at
the door when he entered to enjoy the
charm Of her. then he crossed to her
side with all lovers eagerness. Her
eyes beamed on him with tenderness
ms she welcomed him and gave him
her lips.
How much do you love me?" she
queried, measuring an infinitesimal
space with her tiny hands, that

wide and purring forth her musical
laugh-"or that muchi"
Freneau came within the circle of
her arms and. holding her to him. ex-
claimed: THE width Of the whole
world is not big enough to measure
my love for you" And he meant It.
Releasing her tenderly to her pill

keep this up you won't have to be

thank God, I shall have you to work
for. Just see what I've brought my

her lap.
Opening two shrinelike doors. Gloria
gurgled in delight at the string Of
pearls within. She made him clasp
them about her throat. Then she
leaned forward to thank him with
kiss; she saw the corner of o large
sealed envelope in his inner yocket.
Whats thisf More business. or
love letters?"
A dull mottled red began to surge
up Freneau's face. She spoke 80 much
truer than she know. It was the packet
of letters he was taking to Lois. He
had pocketed them to make sure that
he should not leave them behind.
"Just business documents connected
with my trip" he said. ~ naturally As
he could. Gloria accepted the explana-
tion in perfect faith. II did not occur
to her to suspect him OF any deceit.
