CHAPTER X-Continued.


At last the bell rang. Captain Elisha

worry forgotten, and, pushing the but

and nephew, but Pearson.
Good evening, captain" hailed the
young man cheerily. Didn't expect
me. did you? l dropped in for mo-
ment to shake hands with you and to
offer congratulations to Miss Warren.
Then, noticing the expression ON his
friends face, he added: whats the
matter? Anything wrong? Am In

"No, no! Course not. You're as vel

He insisted upon his visitors remain
ing, although the latter, when he un-
derstood the situation, was reluctant to
do so.
But a good many minutes passed,
and still they did not come. Pearson,
aware of his companions growing
anxiety, chatted of the novel, of the
people at the boarding house, of any
thing and everything he could think OF
likely to divert attention from the one
important topic. The answers he re-
ceived were more and more brief and
absent. At last, when Edwards again
appeared, appealingly mute, at the en-
trance to the dining room Captain
Elisha, with a sigh which was almost
a groan, surrendered.

sAll right. But i guess she'd better

"She shan't come"
Yes; she shall. Gardiner
The boy would have detained him,
but he pushed him firmly aside and
walked toward the door. Before he
reached it, however, his niece appeared.
"Well," she said coldly, what is it
you want of me?"
II want you to hear Mr.. Pearson's
side of this business-and mine before
you do anything you'll be sorry for"
II think I've heard quite enough OF
Mr.. Pearson already. Nothing he can
say or do will make me more sorry
than I am or humiliate me more than
the fact that have treated him as
friend"
The icy contempt in her tone was
cutting. Pearson's face was white,
but he spoke clearly, and with deliber-
alton.
Miss Warren" he said, 81 must in
sist that you listen for another mo-
ment. 1 owe you an apology for

scornful laugh. Apology! Well, by
CAD, just hear that, Caro!'
The girls lip curled. 81 do not wish
to hear your apology" she said.
"But 1 wish you to hear it not for
my attitude in the trolley matter nor
for what l published in the Planet nor
for my part in the disagreement with

nothing more. / considered it right

"You blackguard" shouted Stephen.
Pearson ignored him utterly.
II do owe you an apology" he contin-
ued, "for coming here as l have done
knowing that you were ignorant of the
affair. 1 believe now that you are mis-
informed as to the facts, but that is
immaterial. You should have been told
of my trouble with Mr.. Warren. I
should have insisted upon it. That I
did not do so is my fault, and apollo
gize, but for that only. Good evening"
He shook himself free from the cap
tain's grasp, bowed to the trio and left
the room. An instant later the outer
door closed behind him.
Caroline turned to her brother.
"Come, Steve" she said.
"Stay right where you arew Captain
Elisha did not request now, he COM
manded. "Stevie, stand still. Caroline,
want to talk to you"
The girl hesitated. She had never
been spoken to in that tone before.
Her pride had been already deeply
wounded by what she had learned that
afternoon; she was f1ercely resentful,
angry and rebellious. She was sure
she never hated any one as she did this
man who ordered her to stay and listen
to him. But-she stayed.

Cautious Galveston.

Many persons remember the destruc-
ton of Galveston by a West Indian
hurricane which blew so hard it forced
the sea up into the streets Of the city
and thousands Of lives were lost. AS
a protection against similar disaster,
the city built great sea wall. This
year it has begun nearly two miles
more of sea wall which will take near
ly two years to complete and which
will cost 100000. After the great
storm of 1900. the citizens raised the
site of the city 171s feet by pumping
millions of tons of sand from the gulf.
Galveston has taxed itself for all these
colossal improvements.-Exc

| EatMoreRice
Nutritious Food That is a
Good Substitute for Wheat
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural

ment of Agriculture.)
Here in the United States it is diff
cult to realize that there is no other
edible product, except perhaps meat,
upon which more people in the world
are dependent for food than rice, and
that we might advantageously con-
sumo much greater quantities of this
nutritious food and grow the increase
in our own rice fields. An increased
production and consumption not only
would expand a profitable industry,
but the eating of more rice in the
place of wheat would release a great
er quantity of the bread grain for
shipment to the allies.
The average per capita consumption
of rice for food in this country is
scarcely 6 pounds a year, and most
of this is consumed in the Southern
states The high esteem in which rice
is held in other countries is indicated
by their per capita consumption. Nor
way and Sweden consume over 8
pounds per capita; Russia over IL
pounds; England, 27 pounds; France,
"a pounds; Italy, over 1O1 pounds, and
Germany more than SO pounds. But
even these European countries do not
begin to eat as much rice as Japan
and China. There, rice is the most
important article of diet. Each man,
woman and child in Japan, on the
average, consumes 147 pounds of rice
each year, and those in China, 1oS
pounds.
The placing of such dependence
upon rice as staple food certainly
proves beyond a doubt that it is high
ly nutritious; analysis of rice supports
this proof Pound for pound rice is
about as nutritious as wheat. Every
100 pounds of cleaned rice contains
ST. pounds of nutriment, of which 3
pounds are protein, 0.3 pound fat, 70
pounds carbohydrates, and 0.4 pound
ash. The analysis of wheat flour
shows that it contains ST. pounds of
nutriment in each 100 pounds, of
which 1913 pounds are protein, IL
pounds fat, 74.S pounds carbohydrates,
and O.4 pound ash. Thus the total
nutriment in rice is tritle greater
than in wheat. Wheat has the advan-
tage in protein and rice in carbo-
hydrates.
Although rice is the great foodstuff
of the Orient, it is not used there in
making a raised bread. In this coun-
try dieticians have made excellent
bread by substituting as high as 20
per cent of rice for wheat flour, and
have obtained a white yeast bread OF
excellent flavor.

The Concrete Ship.

Faith, the new concrete ship, has the
appearance of a concrete cellar founda-
ton. This may be the very thing some
unseen and unknown barnacle has been
waiting to cling to. Our bold expert
ment will bring out some surprising
discoveries, no doubt. If it shows a
new way to use cement there will be a
boom in cement stocks. We have no
end of raw material for cement max
ing and no conservationist can tell us
when we shall be shy of the stuff that
makes ships if the Faith is a winner.

nestle cane and beet fields supplied 23
per cent of the sugar we used in 1911-
1915; the planters of Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines furnished 26
per cent; while Cuba, supplemented by
small amounts from other foreign
countries, furnished 81 per cent. Dur
ing these five years the sugar consump-
ton of the United States averaged al
most 16O,OOO,00O pounds per week. The
supply for 81 weeks came from foreign
countries, our island possessions fur
nished supplies for 13 weeks consump-
ton. while the product of the United
States proper was equivalent to II

Kit Rations for Officers.

Those German demigods, the officers
of the army, are now on clothing ra-
tons like ordinary mortals. They will
!,enceforth only be able to secure new
uniforms on clothing cards. The new
regulation prescribes just how extern
sive wardrobe an officer may have.
and he will not be permitted to array
himself in excess of it's limitations.
The only special concession to officers
is that they are not required, as civil
ians are, to declare how much cloth
ing they already possess.

The Handy Automobile.

1t is not an uncommon sight on an

alongside his team to keep warm, but
it certainly was surprising on such a

automobile.
This was on a broad, smooth subur-

shooting past in big Limousine saw a
delivery wagon ambling serenely along
while its driver swinging his arms to
warm himself, was trotting along be-
side 1t on the ground, just as he might
have done if instead of a machine he
had been driving horse and wagon.

POPULAR PREACHER
WILL SPEAK AT Big
WAR CONFERENCE
Rev. I. COchrane Hunt, Known as
Kentucky's Most Patriotic Minis
ters, VIII BE One Of the Chief
Speakers at War Con-
ference.

Chairman w. W. Ball, Jr., of the
Mason County Council of National De-
fense, announced yesterday afternoon
that arrangements had been COM
pleted for Rev. l. Cochrane Hunt, of
Covington, to be one of the speakers
at the big all day War Conference to
be held here on next Thursday under
the auspices of the State Council of
National Defense
This announcement will be received
with much interest by the people of
Mason county who have read so much
about the activities of Rev. Hunt with
the Kenton County Patriotic League
at Covington and who have been very
anxious to hear, him. He handles the
enemy without gloves and has been
called one of the most patriotic and
out spoken ministers in the state of
Kentucky.
Rev. Hunt first came into promi-
nence as patriot when several
months ago a large number of Amer
ican army horses were poisoned at
| Covington. At the mass meeting held
by the citizens of Covington and COM
munity following this poisoning, Rev.
Hunt was one of the chief speakers
and 1t was he who drew up resolu-
tions on that occasion. Later he took
part in a mass meeting and offered
resolutions condemning the action
taken by Governor Stanley on the bill
prohibiting the teaching of the Ger
man language in the public schools of
the state.
Since that time Rev. Hunt has had a
leading part in the activities of the
Kenton County Patriotic League and
has always stood in the forefront of
every patriotic movement in his home
city and county.
Sergeant J. j. Hudgins, who will al
so be one of the chief speakers at
this big all-day conference, is native
Kentuckian, who volunteered for SER
vice with the Canadian army early in
the war and he brings a wonderful
message from the fighting front
Those who have heard Sergeant Hud-
gins say that he is one of the best and
most interesting speakers now in this
country who have seen actual service.
He is cultured and has a splendid de-
livery.
Chairman Ball yesterday stated that
he was well pleased with the pros
poets for a great meeting here on next
Thursday. Word has been brought
in from most every precinct in the
county that there will be large dele
cations come to Maysville for the en-
tire day.
Remember the date-Thursday Au-
gust 22-and don't let anything inter
fere with your attending this confer
ence when you will have wonderful
opportunities to hear some of the
states biggest and most patriotic men
speak on the subject of the war.

JUDGE FOR POULTRY AT
FAIR HAS Been CHOSEN
Prominent Cincinnati Poultry Man
Who Was Judge mt Tobacco Fair
Is Chosen to Judge Fowls at
Germantown Fair.

1t was announced yesterday that
the directors of the Old Reliable Ger
mantown Fair had made arrange
ments with Mr.. w. j. Ray, prominent
Cincinnati poultry expert, to Judge
the poultry at this years fair,
This announcement will meet the
hearty approval of the poultry breed
ers of this section of the state for no
one is better qualified to do this work
than Mr.. Ray 1t was he who judged
the poultry at the Maysville Corn and
Tobacco Fair last year and while here
he gave very interesting address to
all of those interested in raising poul-
try which was of much benefit to the
local breeders.
The Fair directors have also an
nounced that they will comply with
the wishes of the Mason Country
Poultry Association in having an at
tendant for the poultry day and night
and within the next few days they
will select some one competent to at
tend to these duties. The Mason Coun-
ty Poultry Association has recon-
mended Harrison Anderson as the
proper sort of man for the work and
It is more than likely that he will be
appointed by the directors within the
next few days.

MASON MEN LEAVE
TO ENTER UPON
TRAINING COURSE
Five White Men and Four Negroes
Leave For Special Training-An-
other Big Call Coming With
in Few Days.

Five white men of drart age left
Maysville this morning for Indiana
polls where they will at once begin a
special course in mechanics. All of
the five men had volunteered from the
list Of selectives for this special work
and were very anxious to get into the
service through this special line of
| work.
The men left quietly, there being no
demonstration of any sort except that
few friends and relatives were at
the station to bid them goodbye.
The men leaving this morning
were:
Ben Neal
Russell Muse
Richard l.. Nauman.
William-H. Phillips.
Robert S. Emmitt.
Four colored men from the selec-
tive ranks left yesterday under the
same sort of call for Pine Bluff, Ark,
where they will begin at once spe-
cial curse in mechanics. These men
too were volunteers and there was
little confusion when they left the
city. The men were:
Badger Cunningham.
Ben Morton.
William Coleman.
| Albert Foster.
The Mason County Board has been
advised to prepare for another big
call for the latter part of this month
and the Board is expecting the date
to be fixed for the next few days. In
this next call Mason county is called
upon to furnish 80 colored men and
white men. The furnishing of the
Negroes is going to be puzzle to the
Board as at present they do not have
that number of Negro men in Glass l.

five WOMEN HAVE
ENROLLED IN THE
nurse RESERVE
COlOred Woman Is the First Enrolled
In Mason County TO Secure Her
Application Blank-Campaign
Continues Every Day.

The Woman's committee of the Ma
son County Council of National De-
Tense announced yesterday that up to
the present time FIVE young women
from Mason county have enrolled in
the Student Nurses Reserve and that
one of this number has received her
application blank which has been fill
ed out and sent back to headquarters.
The first Mason county woman to
receive her application under the
present arrangement is Miss Betty
Higgins, a high class young colored
woman of the county who is very eff
ficient and who will rank high when
her application is scanned and ex-
amined by the National examiners.
Besides Miss Higgins there are yet
four young women whose enrolment
has been reported but up to the pres
ent time they have not received their
application blank from the national
headquarters.
The committee members who were
somewhat discouraged for a while
the latter part of last week are now
much more encouraged and feel cer-
tain that before the time limit has
passed Mason county will have more
than furnished her share of young
women for this work.
The campaign continues all of this
week and all applicants are requested
to apply at the Public Library at any
time they choose during the entire
week. They will be given full infor-
nation as to the reserve and will be
furnished with all of the necessary
blanks for enlistment and will be en-
rolled by the committee members.
The county people seem to be an
swering the call more promptly that
the city women and it is to be hoped
that within the next few days there
will be several city women enrolled.

COMMISSIONERS
PLEASED WITH WORK
DONE BY CITY men
Last Day Of Offensive on the Roads
Is Another Big Success and Much
Has Been Accomplished By
Cooperation of Farmers
and Business Men.

Yesterday was the last day of the
rock offensive on the Mason county
pixies and the Commissioners are
more than pleased with the accom-
plishment of the past three days.
In answer to the call of the county
officials, many of the farmers in all
sections of the county who had a slack
time in their crops, gave the three
days to hauling stone from quarries
to the pixies and roads and it is re-
ported this morning that it has been
many day since so much stone was
distributed along the pixies and roads
in all parts of the county.
The work of the city men who left
their business here in Maysville to
have a part in the big drive has also
told and is greatly appreciated They
were working in the quarries loading
the wagons and there were great
many more of the business men to
volunteer than had been expected
when the proposition was first put to
them. Yesterday was said by many
to be the biggest day of the three. The
business men donning their work
clothes worked like Trojans and sur
prised both the commissioners and
the cooperating farmers.
The County Commissioners will
now begin at once the work of break
ing crushing the stone distributed and
it will be placed on the pixies where
it has been dumped. This will great
ly improve the pixies in the whole
county and il will count this winter.
