..Are We going DOWN. She asked.

"Are we going DOWN. she asked
'Oh no This is merely a squat" he
told her. with an assumption Of conf
dence he was far from feeling.
DeliVeranee came suddenly, and from
the least-expeeted quarter. Out Of the
mist to starboard there materialized
shape, a schooner driving ahead Of the
wind The refugees deserted her stimuli
taneOusly and stood ankle deep In the
wash, waving their hats and their Gala
bashes, and shouting crafty until she
saw them and fetched up.
There was babbIe of voices, shout
ed questions, hystericaI answers. Rosa
was weeping softly; Norine had lifted
Esteban and now clutched him tight,
while her tears fell upon his face.
The schooner was a spOnger bound
for Nassau; its blackblrd crew spoke
English and they willingly helped the
strangers oversize, laughing and shout
ing in chiIdlike display OF excitement.
Soon there was hot food and coffee,
dry beds and blankets for those who
needed them.
Johnnie tucked his bride snugly into
one OF the hard berths, then stopped
and kissed her. Rosa's teeth were
chattering, but she smiled happily.

and strong enough and he will hear"

sau lay doing under an afternoon sun.
Up from the beach came O'Reilly and
his youthful alter ego, Jacket They
were clad in clean white clothes; a
month of rest had done them good.
Jacket was no longer wizened; he was
plump and sleek and as full of mischief
as a colt, while O'Reilly's leanness
had disappeared and he filed his gar
ments as a man should.
They turned in through a picketNgate
and up a walk. At the end stood a cot
tage with wide pOrches hidden beneath
jasmine and hOneysuckle and morning
glory vines.
Look, Rosa!" Jacket lifted the
heavy string of fish. 1--WE had stu

each other.
Rosa had vastly changed. She was
clad in a charming little muslin dress
there were dimples in her cheeks, she
wore a heavy Marechal Neil bud at hel
breast O'Reilly held her off and de
voured her with his eyes.
Sweetheart, you grow fresher and
more beautiful every hour" said he.
Rosa danced upon her toes, and
tugged at him. ''But come quickly and
see the surprise we have. I've beer
wild for your return, so hurry" She
led him swiftly up the steps. and there
standing beside q chair, was EstebaI

Heating Values.

Farmers who own woodlands and
people in cities, towns and villages
who can purchase wood from nearby
EarmS can help in the coming winter
as last winter-to relieve the demand
for coal and the strain on railway
capacity by burning wood in place Of
coal.
1t is not expected substitution Of
wood for coal Will be complete or uni
versal, as for many purposes coal is
much more convenient But for heat
ing many kinds OF buildings wood is
the more convenient and cheaper fuel.
This is particularly true in the case Of
churches, halls, summer cottages and
other buildings for which heat is re-
quired only occasionally but then is
wanted in large volume at short no
tice.

ton Of wood at Camp Meigs, near

by the army at various camps, and has

In heating value, one standard cord

But q cord and a half of soft maple,
and two cords OF cedar. poplar or bass
wood are required to give the same

IN OLD KENTUCKY

In these days of Indifferent musical
plays detective dramas and plays on
the evil of the white slave traffic, and
stage treatment of such other twentieth
century topics such as woman suffrage,
eugenics and the high cost of living, a
sweet, wholesome offering like "In
Old Kentucky' which comes to the
Odeon theater Monday March 4th, is
an agreeable change and a welcome re-
lief. There is touch of rugged,
homely sentiment to it. an approach to
nature heart about it, that makes its
appeal natural and wholesome emo
tion. The characters are real types
the throb with human pulsations and
they leave lasting impression on the
memory. The wonder of the amusement
world is 'In Old Kentucky.'

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal. using the crop
Of 1918 as basis of comparison.
There was a shortage of 10000, 900
bushels, or 52.S per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third of nor.
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed Q
deacit Of 67.0 per cent. Her meat
herds in the early fall showed = short
age Of 100000 animals.
