Some time during the afternoon the
negro heard himself addressed through
the window against the bars of which
he leaned. The speaker was Donna

saw how cracked and dry were his
thick lips, how near the torture had

CHAPTER III.
1.-THE O'ReiIIy.~

Age and easy living had caused Don
Mario de Castano, the sugar merchant,
to take on weight He had, in truth.
become so fat that he waddled like q
penguin when he walked; and when he
rode, the springs of his French vic
toria gave up in despair.
In disposition Don Mario was prac-
teal and unromantic; he boosted that
he had never had an Illusion, never an
interest outside of his business. And
yet. on the day this story opens. this
prosaic parsonage, In spite of his bulg-
ing waistband and his taut neckband.
in spite of his short breath and his
prickly heat, was in a very whirI of
pleasurable excitement. Don Mario. in
fact, suffered the greatest of all illu-
sions: he was in love. and he believed
himself beloved. The object of his
alteration was little Rosa varona. the
daughter of his one-time friend Este
ban. To be sure, he had met Rosa only
twice since her return from her Yankee
school, but twice had been enough
with prompt decision he had resolved
to do her the honor of making her his
wife.
Notwithstanding the rivulets of per-
spiration that were coursing down
every fold of his flesh, and regardless
of the fact that the body o. his victoria
was tipped at drunken angle. as If
struggling to escape the burdens of his
great weight, Don Mario felt q jaunti-
ness of body and of spirit almost like
that of youth. He saw himself as a
splendid prince riding toward the
humble home Of some obscure maiden

/. GET ONE-HANG 1T UP.

;. :. = i. + i. :. i !. !: i !. = !. 1. i. :. :
The Federal Food Administration
for West Virginia will undertake one
of the biggest tasks that has con-
fronted the organization, during the
week beginning December 1, in the
distribution of 100000 Home Cards
throughout the State. This card en-
bodies the conservation program OF
the United States Food Administra-
ton for the duration of the war, ana
will go into 100000 American
homes TO hang upon the kitchen wall
until the war is over. Its provisions
are the chart by which the conduct
of American households will be
guided as long as the war. continues
A year ago the food administra-
tion received signed pledge card.
from 10000 900 families promising
their cooperation in the food con
servation plan, and the home card
was given to them at that time for
their guidance. Under the present
plan no pledge is to be taken. Tho
Government knows that every loyal
American is doing everything that
is necessary to fulfill the Nations
purpose.
The State Food Administration han
through its county administrators
put the necessary machinery in mo
ton to insure q perfect and com,
plete distribution of the home. card
The printing of the 20,000,00O home
cards was a herculean task. and
each State was requested to print
and sent out from Washington. Many
OF the counties in West Virginia
have already been supplied with the
cards. and the rest will be delivered
in ample time for distribution by the
workers during the week of Decem
Der l.
When Mr. Hoover attended the
Inter-Ailied Food Council held last
summer in London, the food supply
for the Allied nations was carefully
computed. and the American people
were pledged to supply the def
cheney. In place Of 11.750,0e0 tons
shipped last year, the shipment this
year will be 17,500.0O0 tons We are
pledged to send so per cent more
iood and from substantially the same
stocks as last year, and 1t will be
easily seen that there must be in.
creased conservation to accomplish
this result.
The food administration, through
it's county administrators. has been
offered ample assistance in the dis.
trIbution of these cards, the method
of distribution varying to suit local
conditions. In most counties, how
ever. the distribution Will be put In
the hands Of the schools, churches.
lodges, council Of defense organiza-
ton. and women's clubs and some
other organizations.
The organization work this year is
in much better condition to make a
perfect distribution than it. was a
year ago. All merchants and grocers
are asked to give as much publicity
