7 CHAPTER viIi.
The Spanish Doubloon.

On the whole, Rancho Cueto's plans had worked smoothly. After denounc- ing the Varona twins as traitors he had managed to have himself appointed trustee for the crown. for all their properties, consummation for which he had worked from the moment he read that letter of Esteban's on the morn ing after Donna Isabel's death. That there was a treasure Cueto had never doubted, and, once the place was his to do with as he chose he began his search.
 Commencing at the lower edge of the grounds. he ripped them up with se- ries of deep trenches and cross-cuts. It was task that required the labor of many men for several weeks and when 1t was finished there was scarce ly growing -thing left upon the place. Only few of the larger trees re- mained. Cueto was disappointed at finding nothing, but he was not dis couraged. Next he tore down the old slave barracOons and the outbuildings after which he completely wrecked the residence itself. He pulled 1t apart bit by bit, brick by brick. He even dug m it's foundations, but without the reward Of so much as single peseta. Fi- nally, when the villa was but a hean of rubbish and the grounds scar upon the slope of La Cumbre he de- sisted, baffied. sincredulous, while all Matanzas laughed at him. Having sac. rificed his choicest residence. he re- tired in chagrin to the plantation of La Joya.
 But CuetO was now man with il grievance. He burned with rage, and his contempt for the boy and girl he had wronged soured into hatred. In time he began to realize also that so long as they lived they would jeop- ardize his tenure of their property. Public feeling, at present, was high {: there was intense bitterness against all rebels; but the war would end some day. What them Cueto asked him. self. Sympathy was ever on the side of the weak and oppressed. There would come day of reckoning. As if to swell his discontinue and strengthen his fears, out from the hills at the head of the Yumuri issued ru- mors of little band of guerrilleros, under the leadership of a beardless bOy-a band of blacks who were mak- ing the upper valley unsafe for Span ish scouting parties.

PAPER PRICE GOES UP

Information designed to show a
heavy increase in the cost OF manufac-
turing newsprint paper was laid be-
fore the Federal Trade Commission at
Washington yesterday by representa-
tives of paper companies seeking to
nave the commission authorize an in
crease retroactive TO May ! over the
price of $40 a hundredweight agreed
upon as OF last April l.
II. r. Weaver, accountant Of the In
ternational Paper Company, said the
award of the National War Labor
Board increasing the wages OF all
workers in paper mills 10 cents an
hour had increased manufacturing
costs per ton by $3.7S in May and
June and $26S in July, when a bonus
paid the men was discontinued.
Freight rate advances, he said, in
creased the cost 66 cents ton in
May, S122 IN June and Sal in July,
while the cost OF prepared wood has
increased $5.01 a cord since April.
Counsel for the, manufacturers
sought to place the record Of previous
hearings by the commission in the
present record, but the American
Newspaper Publishers Association OBJ
jected and the commission held that
evidence should be confined to changes
in the papermaking industry which
have occurred since April.

would simply make it impossible to
fill the places at all We have prob
ably said enough TO show it would be
unwise to raise the standard and in
crease the salaries without providing
means for paying the salaries. Our
lawmakers will not make this mis-
take. In this campaign for better
things teachers have had the SYM
pathy of the people, the promises of
candidates and politicians, and the
earnest support of the newspapers. It
rests wholly with the Legislators at
this juncture whether our portion
shall consist of sympathy"
Considering the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars invested in our school
property, the importance of education
for citizenship, and the fact that the
only legacy most parents will be able
to leave their children is the advant-
ages that arise from an education,
isn't il advisable to hold our best in
structors for the benefit of our chill
dren.
The obvious remedy for prevailing
conditions is for the coming Legisla-
ture to provide adequate funds to re-
tain our best teachers.

she is noble, and self-sacrifcing. She
