slave women.
Don Esteban was at heart selfish
man, and now, therefore, he felt sui
len, fierce resentment mingled with
his grief. What trick was this? he
asked himself. What had he done to
merit such misfortune? Had he not
made rich gifts to the church? Had he
not knelt and prayer for his Wife's
safe delivery and then hung his gifts
upon the sacred image, as Loyola had
hung up his weapons before that other
counterpart of Our Lady? Don Este
gems were of the finest.
He looked up from his unhappy
musings to find gigantic bare
footed negro standing before him.
The slave was middle-aged; his kinky
hair was growing gray; but he was of
superb proportions, and the muscles
which showed through the rents in his
cotton garments were as smooth anG
supple as those of a stripping. His
black face was puckered with grief,

With a grave thoughtfulness which
proved him superior to the ordinary

CHAPTER II.
Spanish Gold.

The twins were seven years old when
Donna Isabel's schemes bore their first
bitter fruit, and the occasion was a
particularly uproarious night when
Don Esteban entertained crowd of
his Castilian friends. Little Rosa was
awakened alta late hour by the laugh

She was afraid, for there was some
thing strange about the voices, some
quality to them which was foreign to
the childs experience. Creeping into
her brothers. room. she awoke him. and

RED CROSS WOMEN
HELP BOYS SHOP

The American soldier in France is
good fighting man. But when he
faces the French shopkeeper, that
quick-tongued, sharp-eyed little wom-
an who keeps the till as full as she
can while her husband fights, he is
glad enough to have an American
woman beside him.
So the Red Cross women at the
line-of-communication canteens have
new job. They take the boys out

gardening at o. A. c., offers the fol-
lowing sugge9tions as to the use of
leftover seed stocks:
Beets, cabbage, cauliflower, ruta-
bagas, turnips and related plants may
grow well even If four or five years
old Spinach does not give so good
results in the second or third years.
Tomatoes, peppers and egg plants are
usually good for three years; squash
and pumpkins, five to eight; beans
and sweet corn, three; peas and let
tuce, three.
Onions, parsley, carrot and parsnip
seed usually should be fresh, al
though two-year-old seed sometimes
gives good satisfaction. Onions and
parsnips will not usually germinate
more than so to 60 per cent the sec
ond year. All of the short-lived left
over seed should be tested for germi-
nation.
The shortage may be further re-
lieved by estimating the amount
needed before purchase, buying good
seed from reliable dealers, right prep
aration of soil for termination, seed
ing at proper time to avoid loss, and
thinner seeding in the rows so that
fewer plants will be wasted in thin
ming. The amount of seed of various
kinds required to plant hundred
foot row are given in "The Home

by Professor Bouquet. Copies may

2. Save for your own sake, be.
cause work and wages are plentiful

That twenty-eight men have en-
listed as skilled mechanics for ship
building in the United States service
in the past few days here, is report
ed by Joel 7. Ward, who has charge
of the recruiting in that line here.
Mr.. Ward declares that nearly all
the men are skilled in some line es-
pecially demanded in this work.
Strenuous appeals are being made by
the United States shipping board to
get men at this time. It is pointed
out that while the government has
the money necessary to buy and man
ufacture the supplies for the United
States and allied troops in France,
the goods will be of no avail unless
tonnage can be secured for trans
portation, which is the biggest prob
lem at the present time. The gov
ernment plans to build over 1000
ships a year, and needs an immense
