of their lives.
With daylight, NORM routed out his
men. There was sleepy muttering,
the patter of bare feet upon the deck
above, then the creak of blocks as the
sails were raised. A few moments, then
there came hail which brought their
hearts into their throats. NORM him.

Good morning, countryman! Have
you caught any of those accursed fill

NORM laughed loudly. "You know very

of course. Will you look? No?

O'Reilly peeped through a Dirt

volandra was slipping past the stern of
the ironclad, so he withdrew his head
quickly.
OF course this was but one danger
past and there were many more ahead,
for Morin's schooner was liable to be
stopped by any of the numerous patrol

by and she was well out toward the
harbor mouth, the refugees told one
another they were safe.

Where Man Is Not supreme.

Psychologists tell us that the human
nose is a degenerate organ; clumsy in
comparison with the noses of dogs and
other lower animals If a man has run
across a meadow it would be folly for
you or me TO try to find his tracks by
smelling the grass, even half minute
after he had passed. But days after
ward. when perhaps the tracks of that
man have been crossed by those OF
many other men, bloodhound's nose
win pick them up and follow them in
fallibly. The noses OF the lower ami
mails are far keener than those of men.
But those of men are keener than
their fingers, their tongues. th.ir earx

years old, which is the right time for
a young ostrich to think of getting
himself a mate, and would Judge you
were about that age, too, possibly a
little younger" Mr.. Ostrich said po-
litely.
The second ostrich moved her head
coyly to one side-that is as coyly as
an ostrich could. "Td love to be your
mate" she said. "And I will always
be your mate, just as you will always
be NINE"
"We are queer-all of the ostrich
family-every ostrich on this great os-
trich farm-every ostrich every
where"
"Yes, go on" said Mrs. Ostrich.
'"This is very, interesting"
ave are all queer" continued Mr.
Ostrich, because we are feathered
like birds and yet we cannot fly. We
run instead and we're good runners.
But it's queer to be dressed like a
bird and act like an ANIMAL"
at is queer" said Mrs. Ostrich,
'but ! don't mind such queerness."
"Not in the least" said Mr.. Ostrich.
81 don't suppose any ostrich minds.
We're all so used to such queerness."
"They say" Mrs. Ostrich remarked,
shat our feathers are very valuable.
They've even said that some oStriches
make any amount of money for their
owners. suppose you were first
plucked when you were nine months
old and when you were about six feet
in height"
"YOu're right, Mrs. Ostrich, and I
was put in a little yard and my feath-
ers which were all ready were clipped
off. Well, for one, am glad that they
make use Of our feathers, for we're
well treated on this farm"
"Oh, yes" said, Mrs. Ostrich, ats

hats of beautiful ladies'"
'It's fine," said Mr.. Ostrich, "and
/ approve of it, for it never hurts us
in the least bit to have our feathers
properly plucked. 1t gives no pain,
some ladies'" and Mr.. Ostrich looked
very sad, "care so much about all
kinds of feathers that they will even
wear the feathers of little birds which
have to be killed, and of some moth
er birds which have to be killed just
when the little ones are needing her
so much"
81 can't believe It," gasped Mrs. Os-
trich. "When they can have feathers
from creatures like us-and when we
aren't hurt by ito think of using
feathers from birds which have to
be killed! can't understand folks
who care for fashion and feathers
above the lives of birds and above

"Perhaps some day they will know
better" said M. Ostrich. "We are
glad to be of Use to people for we
can do our work easily, but oh,
hope that fewer and fewer wild birds
will be taken ana used for those who

CHAPTER xxi.
Three Travellers Come Home.

Esteban Varona made slow progress
toward recovery. In the weeks follow
ing O'Reilly's departure from Cubitas
his gain was steady, but beyond a GER
tain point he seemed unable to go,
Then he began to lose strength. Este
ban awoke to the fact that he was los
ing ground, and his dismay was keen,
for wonderful thing had come into
his life and he spent much of his time
in delicious contemplative day dreams
concerning it, waiting for the hour
when he would dare translate those
dreams into realities 1t seemed to him
that he had always loved Norine; GER
tainly she had enshrined herself in his
heart long before his mind had re-
gained it's clarity, for he had come out
of his delirious wanderingS with his
!cye full grown.
The time came finally when he could
no longer permit the girl to deceive
herself or him with her brave assump-
ton of cheerfulness. Norine had just
told him that he was doing famously,
but he smiled and shook his weary
head.
Lets be honest" he said. "You
know and I know that 1 can't get
we'll"
"You mustn't be discouraged" she
told him, earnestly. Remember this is
a trying climate and we have nothing
to do with. Even the food is wretched.
I'm going to take you away"
Esteban stroked her hand softly.
''You can't do that Miss Evans. You
have been wonderful to me and l can't
begin to express my gratitude" No
rine stirred, but he retained his grasp
of her fingers, gaining courage from
the contact to proceed. 81 have been
trying for long time to tell you some
thing. Will you listens"
'Not now,'' she exclaimed, with a
visible lessening of color. 'Don't
bother to tell me now"
1--WE waited too long; l must speak.
You have stayed on here just to nurse
me. Isn't that true?"
She nodded somewhat doubtfully.
"Now, then, you must stop thinking
about me and-make your arrange
ments to go home"
There was a moment of silence.
Eyes. You see, l know how tired you
are of this misery, this poverty, this
hopeless struggle. You're not Cuban
and our cause isn't yours. Expeditions
come from the United States every now
and then and the government will see
that you are put safely aboard the first
ship that returns. I'll manage to get
well somehow"
Norine's color had returned. She
stood over the hammock, looking down
mistily. Don't you need me, want me
any more?" she inquired.
Esteban turned his tired eyes away,
fearing to betray in them his utter
wretchedness. ''You have done all there
is to do. l want you to go back into
your own world and forget"
A sudden impulse seized the girl. She
stopped and gathered the sick man into
her young, strong arms. Don't be
silly" she cried. "My world is your
world, Esteban DEAR I'll never, never
leave you"
Miss Evansl Norinel' varona
tried feebly to free himself. You
mustn't"
Norine drew him closer. You're 60

Plodier Reaches Goal.

With the plodder you can reap In
tense satisfaction in self-conscious
growth. This comes with achievement.
When you get to the point that what
once was hard is now easy you can
know you have gained in power. And
the best of it is that each tiny gain
makes the next step so much easier.
When you just plod on you are con-
stantly adding to your doing power.
Other people will notice it. but you
will be the best judge. Then when
good sense adds its judgment to abil-
ity TO do, tasks once hard are easy.
When the world gets awake to that
fact it will begin to praise what it
once regarded as common stupidity.

held him fiercely to her breast.
"We're quite mad, quite insane" he
told her after a while. This only
makes it harder to give you up"
you're not going to give me up and
you're not going to die. l sha'nt let
you. Think what you have to live for"
'T-did wrong to surrender"
''It was l who surrendered. Come !

"What?"
"Why, 70 marry you, of course.

DIR. GARFIELD QUITS
THE CONTROL OF FUEL
Needs OF Domestic Consumers to
Receive Attention of Administered
ton Until Winter Passes.

Washington. Dec. 5.-Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield has resigned
and President Wilson has accepted
his resignation. This was announced
at the White House:
1T was announced at the execu-
tive office today" said the state
ment, that United States Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield had rendered his
resignation, to take effect at the
pleasure of the president, and that
the president had accepted the resig-
nation, although 1t was made clear
that the needs of domestic consum-
ers will continue to receive the at
tention OF the fuel administration
until the winter Is passed"
The correspondence between the
president and DR.. Garfield was not
made public. nor was there any in
formation as to when the resignation
becomes effective or whether a sue
cessor to DR.. Garfield will be nam
ed.
1t is understood that Dr. Garfield
plans to remain at his post the re-
mainder Of this month, but that af-
ter the holidays he will resume his
duties as president of Williams col
lege.
The White House statement made
it clear that the fuel administration
will continue to function certainly
until the end of the winter. DR..
Garfield himself announced recently
that he hoped to be able to remove
price restrictions and possibly the
zone regulations on bituminous coal
about the middle of this month. but
that control over the domestic sun

LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE ON.
County Organization Now Going Over
the Top for Liberty.

Monday afternoon a meeting of the
liberty loan drive committeeman of
the county was held at the court
house for the purpose of receiving
instructions and arranging to get
down to business It is Bamberg
county's aim to "go over the top"
with the liberty loan this week. The
public was invited to attend a portion
of the meeting, during which time
the audience was given the epportun-
ity of hearing one of the most gifted
speakers in the State, Hon. Christie
Benet, of Columbia, who is devoting
a large part of his time to war work
The meeting was opened with prayer
by Rev. R. H. Jones, after which
County Chairman J. A. Wyman intro
duced Mr.. Benet.
Mr.. Benet said that it is hard for
the people at home to realize that
men are dying across the water for
us, or to realize that thousands of
people are starving to death in war
ridden Europe, and yet such is the
case With us here, the most vital
question is that of food production.
Many articles of food cannot be had
in Europe at all, particularly fats,
and the people are suffering for this
article of diet, which is absolutely
necessary to the human system. The
speaker said that Herbert Hoover has
bigger responsibility on him than
any other man in the country except
ing President Wilson, for it is he who
