He staggered, seized. with a
sort OF giddiness, and had to
squat on his launches. He was
utterly spent. However, obeying
a last CONFUSION, he still found
strength to kneel down by the
well, and leaning over the dark

He could not get out another

more like hiccoughs. The sweat
poured from his hair and his fore

moaning like a dying man tor

He remained like that for some
minutes, with his head in his
hands, %shivering all over his

to take from his pocket and put

he had swallowed warmth and
strength. His eyes grew calmer,
his mouth shaped itself into a

heart. He knows that after the mad

something soothing something

that they shall have it. He is going
to take it to them. He realizes that
his gun-carrying days are past, but

The next morning, as soon as War
rem had left for the city, she start
ed for her second lesson This was
on Distinguishing to the trot. The
instructor rode close beside her and
held her arm while they trotted slow
ly around the ring. By lifting her
elbow at each step, he tried to show
her how and when to rise. But it
was long before Helen could get into
the swing of it.
Now, not so rigid-don't hold
yourself so stiff! Relax here! Give
yourself up to the motion of the
horse. Put more weight on the stir
rup. No, keep your heel down-like

The lessons were costing Helen 81
each, and as she had arranged to
have eight before Sunday, that would
be SIG, which would take almost all
she had saved toward the bookcase
she was so anxious to give Warren
at Christmas. But she would have
time enough to save something more
before then. And now no sacrifice
was too great if she could only learn
to ride, at least passibly well, before
Sunday.
Mrs. Stevens was giving her much
encouragement and assurance. And
Helen had taken the instructor par
tally into her confidence. For in
no other way could she explain her
eagerness to learn in so short a time.
"No, you don't rise to the canterl

Learn to relax with every muscle

she was filled with despair-it
seemed that she could never learn.
But after the fourth ride the in
structor said briefly, THAT was
much better. You'll soon have a
good seat. Now, if you'll only learn

hopes were swept to the heights.

HOARDING OF COAL
WILL De PREVENTED
BYCUSTOMERS HERE

To guard against the possibility
of coal boarding, Wilmer S. Hay
ward, local chairman of the fuel adj
ministration, has supplied the local
dealers with forms of declaration
which must be signed by every per-
son who wishes to buy coal in guam
titles of one ton or more.
The applicant must state amount
of coal desired, kind and amount used
last year, amount obtained so far
this year, quantity on hand and the
number Of days it vii probably. last.
The applicant is also required to
state the number of rooms to be
heated and whether he has untitled
orders with other dealers.
In instances where the dealers be-
lieve purchasers of less than ton lots
are securing more coal than they
actually need, report is to be made
to the fuel administration for in
vestigation.
The situation is becoming so acute
that Mr.. Hayward urges all families
to substitute wood for coal to the
greatest possible extent. Wood is
very plentiful in this section and the
fuel administration officials believe
it should entirely meet our domestic
fuel requirements.
Local dealers are still very short
of coal, one being compelled to limit
his sales to single barrel lots. We
are, however, more fortunate than
many other sections, where no coal
Is obtainable and wood very scarce.
Every ton of coal saved here will
afford great relief in some northern
city where the climate is more rigor-
Gus and the need TO it greater" said
Mr.. Hayward yesterday.
The official certificate of Mr.. Hay
wards appointment as chairman of
the fuel administration for Escambia
county has been received and he has
taken the oath of office.
While the local committee feel that
there is no immediate need for uegu-
lation OF wood prices, they are keep
ing a record of the charges made
for wood to be used as fuel and show

control of the administration.
