This advertisement is written on

following:

vapoRub to last US, we thought, until

counting our dnily output. This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months.

O'ReiIIy's Plans Fail.

In the days that followed his call on Ignacio Alvarado, O'Reilly behaved so openly that the secret service agent detailed to watch him relaxed his vigil lance. Manifestly this O'Reilly was a harmless person. But the spy did not guess how frantic Johnnie was be- coming at the delay, how he inwardly chafed and fretted when two weeks had rolled by and still no signal had come. Then, too, his money was run ming low.
 At last however, the day arrived when the man with the gray necktie raised his hat and wiped his brow as he passed the Isla de Cuba. Johnnie could scarcely hold himself in his chair. By and by he rose, stretching himself, and sauntered after the fel- low. For several blocks he kept him in sight, but without receiving any further sign.
 Without glance over his shoulder the man turned into a large, walled in- closure. When Johnnie followed he found himself in one of the old ceme- teries. Ahead of him. up shady ave nue bordered with trees, the stranger

 The first pink of dawn was now deepening In the east and as soon as 1t had grown light enough to see to travel Colonel Cobo prepared to re- turn to his horses. The roof and walls of the bohio had fallen away to ashes, It's skeleton of poles and its few pieces of crude furniture alone were smoldering when he called his men together and gave the word to go.
 Come, my sweetheart" Cobo ad- dressed himself to. the girl. 'Leave that carrion for the buzzards."
 Rosa looked up to find him leering at her. She brushed the tears from her eyes, crying:
 "Go away! In Gods name haven't you done harm enough7"
 ''Oh, but you're going with me-"
 The girl rose; her face was color less; she was aquiyer with indigna- ton. Leave mel" she stormed. What have done to you? Don't"
 "Caramba! A temper. And you have strength. too. as discovered. Must bind those pretty hands or"
 Colonel Cobo reached forth, laugh ing, and encircled her in his power ful arms. Rosa fought him as she had fought at the first moment of des- peration, but he lifted her easily and went striding across the field behind his men.
 
 Esteban's party made good time over the hills and into the San Juan. for Asensio knew the country well. Mid-afternoon found them in sight of La Joya. Cueto's cane was thick and high; 1t was ready for the knife or for the torch. The incendiaries dis mounted in the shelter of a wood and removed the bags which they had carried on their saddles. Inside these bags were several snakes, the largest perhaps eight feet in length. To the tail of each the negroes fastened leather thong, and then to each thong a length of telegraph wire, the end of which had been bent into a loop to hold bundle of oil-soaked waste. These preliminaries accomplished, they bore the reptiles into the cane fields at widely separated places and lighted the waste.
 Soon tongues of flame appeared and the green tops of the cane began to shrivel and to wave as the steady east wind took effect. Smoke bil- lowed upward and was hurried west ward before the breeze; in dozen places the fields burst into flame. From somewhere came faint shout ing, then shot or two, and finally the ringing of bell.
 Esteban waited only until he saw that his work of devastation was we'll under way, then he led his followers back toward the hills.
 In the shelter of ravine the party took time to eat supper, their first meal since leaving home, and it was after dark when they finished. The negroes, who were thoroughly tired, were for spending the night here, but Esteban, more cautious than they, would not have 1t so. Accordingly, the men remounted their weary horses. though not without some grumbling, and set out. At length they crossed the summit and worked down toward the Yumuri, but 1t seemed as if daylight would never come.
 Esteban suddenly refined in his horse. Look [" said he. Wonder is a light"

Marauders.

Ntat 000Sbos
 The surprise was easily effected, for Colonel Cobo's men were accom- plished in this sort of work. Rosa, crOuching upon her bench, heard nothing, saw nothing. until out of the shadows beside her human forms ma terialized. She screamed once, twice; then palm closed over her mouth and she began to struggle like . cut.
 EvAngelina, who had walked at the drst outcry, met the marauders as they rushed through the door. There were shouts and curses, loudly bell lowed orders. great scuf1ing and pounding of feet upon the dirt floor of the hut, the rickety, bark-covered walls bulged and creaked. Over all Sounded the shrieks of the negress battling in the pitch-black interior Ike an animal In It's lair. Then some one set fire to the thatch; the flames licked up the dead palm leaves to fhe ridgepole. and the surroundings leAped into view.
 Rosa saw a swarthy, thickset man in the uniform of a colonel of vol unteers, and behind him Rancho Cue to-. Tearing the hand from her lips for q moment, she cried Cueto's name, but he gave no heed. Rosa shrieked his name again; then she heard the officer say:
 @Where is the young fellow? hear nothing but the squeals of that common wench."
 Evangelina's cries of rage and de- dance ceased, and with them the sounds of combat. From the blazing bohio ran two armed men, brushing sparks from their clothing. A third followed. dragging Evangelina by one naked arm.
 Rosa felt herself swooning, and she knew nothing of what immediately followed. After time she felt her self shaken, and heard the colonel ad- dressing her.
 "Coine, comet" he was saying. 'sWhere is your precious brother and that black fellow?"
 Rosa could only stare duly.
 Tt seems we missed them," said Cueto.
 "More of your bungling," Cobo broke out at him, wzsthfully. Fool! I've mind to toss you into that fire." He turned his attention once more to Rosa, and with jerk that shook her into fuller consciousness repeat ed: "Where are they? Speak to me-"
 "Gone r she gasped. "Gone!" She struggled weakly toward Cueto, im-. ploring him, "Pancho, don't you know me7'
 '.Well, we've taught him lesson," said Cueto, grinning apprehensively at Cobo. We've accomplished some thing. anyhow, eh?" He nodded at Rosa. "She's all that told you. Look at herl''
 Colonel Cobo took time to scruti- nixe his prisoner.
 "Yesl She's a pretty little spy quite prize. truly. Now, theni" His thick lips spread; he spoke to her more gently. ''I want you to tell me about that brother of yours, eh ? Cueto said would find him here. Hal Still frightened, l see. Well, l have way with women; dare say you'll be glad to tell me everything by and by" Then, seeing that his men risked a scorching in their search of the hut and were already quarreling over the scanty plunder which 1t afforded. he turned from Rosa to call them away.

TO STOP WATER POLLUTION
Preventive Bill Planned for Submits
sion in Next LegsIature-Sep-
tic Tanks Are De-
manded.

Milwaukee, Nov. 5.-Wisconsin cities
on Lake Michigan and on rivers emp
tying into the lake will be compelled
to spend millions of dollars within the
next few years for the erection of
sewage disposal plants. This was
forecast by city officials when it be-
came known that bill has been draft
ed for presentation to the 1919 legis-
iature under which further pollution
Of the lake waters will be enjoined.
The bill is said to be one of the most
drastic ever presented to the legisla-
ture. Not only will lake cities be pre-
vented from discharging their sewage
into the lake, but smaller cities and
villages situated on small lakes and
rivers emptying into the lake will be
compelled to establish sewage disposal
systems. Hundreds of manufacturing
plants that in the past have discharged
their sewage into the lake or rivers
will be compelled to build septic tanks
or other sewage disposal work. The
reason given for the introduction of
this bill is that the city of Milwaukee,
after spending more than $10,000,OOO
to construct q sewage disposal plant,
will not receive pure water because
other cities along the entire lake shore
might still be poluting the waters Of
the lake.

ture 700 Huns in Recent
Drive.

With the American Armies.-Greater
laurels daily are being won by the
French light tanks which are cooper
ating with the American forces in
pushing the Germans back toward the
Rhine.
Among the many individual featS OF
the tanks and their drivers which have
come to light, one of the most interest.
ing is that of Brigadier Cellier, who
has been decorated with the cross of
the Legion of Honor for his work in a
light tank which enabled Is American
soldiers to capture 700 Germans.
Several hundred Of these tanks led
the counter-of offensive from the Villers
0otterets forest in July, which marked
what appears to have been the turning
point of the war. They broke through
the enemy's lines, destroying his ma
chine guns, overcoming strong centers
of resistance and spreading panic and
decentralization in the German ranks
Where the infantry was preceded
by the "chars d'assaut," as the French
call them, the advance was three miles
a day.
It was these same French light tanks
which preceded the Americans in their
advance upon Juvigny and Terny on
the scissors plateau. One of them,
manned by lieutenant, killed more
than 200 Germans On the plateau.
Documents that have come into the
hands of the French staff show that
the Germans are greatly worried by
the light tanks and are studiously
coaching their men in methods Of de.
Tense against them.
The light cars have the advantage
of greater speed and Of being more
easily handled than the heavier tanks.
They require crew of only two men,
a driver and a gunner, and carry one
one-and-a-half-inch gun and a machine
gun.

writes school superintendent to a
public health association, because we
think that no trained nurse should be
engaged in civilian work at present
How this school man would justify the
action of the American Red Cross in
releasing certain selected nurses from
military duty and assigning them to
public health work among the civil
population in France, [ do not know.
From his statement, he must surely
take issue with President Wilson who
says: Next to the duty of doing
everything possible for the soldiers at
the front, there could be, it seems to
me, no more patriotic duty than that of
protecting the children"
What advocates of retrenchment in
all matters of public health fear, prob
ably, is that care of civilian health
necessitates neglect of the military. If
these people would pause to give the
reason as we'll as sentiment voice in
their conclusion they would speedily
realize what all experience and author
ity indicate, that the health of the
army and navy cannot be divorced from
the health of the civil population, the
army and navy are drawn. To it, they
return on furlough. All the attention
in the world, under these conditions,
cannot stamp disease out of three per
cent of the population (the soldiery) if
it is neglected among the remaining
81 per cent.
The problem of caring fer our army
will be solved. therefore, not by neglect
ing the rest of the population but by
directing available medical resources
so economically as to serve both.-Dor-
othy Phillips.
Postscript: The foregoing was writ

of Spanish Influenza through which

correctness of the position taken more
convincingly than written or. spoken
words alone can ever do.
