CHAPTER xII-continued.

Evening came, then night, and still
he party was jerked along at the tail
Of the train without hint as to its
destination. About midnight those
who were not doing noted that they
had stopped at an obscure pihe-woods
junction, and that when the train got
under way once more their own car
did not move. The ruse was now ap-
parent; owing to the lateness of the
hour, it was doubtful if anyone in the
forward coaches was aware that the
train was lighter by one car.
There was brief delay; then a To-
comotive crept out from a siding,
coupled up to the standing car, and
drew it off upon another track. Soon
the excursion party" was being rushed
swiftly toward the coast, some twenty
miles away.
Major Ramos came down the aisle,
laughing. and spoke to his American
proteges.
wen, what do you think of that, Ell?
Imagine the feelings of those good
deputy marshals when they wake up.
I bet they'll rub their eyes"
Miss Evans bounded excitedly in her
seat; she ciapped her hands.
"You must have friends In high
places" O'Reilly grlnned, and the Gu
ban agreed.
'Yes, purposeiy drew attention to
Us in Charleston, while our ship was
loading. She's ready and waiting for
us now; and by daylight we ought to
be safely out to sea. Meanwhile the
Dauntless has weighed anchor and is
steaming north, followed, 1 hope, by
all the revenue cutters hereabouts."
It was the darkest time of the night
when the special train came to stop
at bridge spanning one of the deep
Southern rivers. In the stream below,

throughout the warm weather. The
effect of crude oil or wood preserva-
tive is much more lasting.
Inasmuch as lice spend a greater
part of their time on the fowls, the
most effective treatment is that which
is applied directly to the birds. The
cleanliness of the house, however. Is
of equal Importance If the hce are to
be gotten rid of entirely. The two
most practical methods of fighting Nee
are busting or using paste or an ONT
ment. Provide q good dust box con-
tanning mixture of road dust or wood
ashes and allow the hens to dust them
selves. busting the hens by hand Is
effective and is especially recommend
ed for setting hens and fowls that are
very much infested with lice. A good
homemade dust or louise powder Is
made by mixing together one and one
half pints of gasoline and one pint or
crude carbolic acid with four quarts
of plaster of Paris. Allow 1t to dry,
crush to a powder, and work 1t well
into the feathers by hand.
One of the most effective ointments
used to destroy lice is a mixture of
equal parts of blue ointment with vase
line or lard. Mix these ingredients
thoroughly and apply small portion
(about the size of pea) to the top
Of the head, under the wings, and
around the vent
Note-Blue ointment should not be
used on Matching hens and small
chicks.

The sudden fury that filled Colonel
Lopez face was almost hidden by the
gloom. "Yes. Oh, yesl" he cried
quickly, land you are but one of hun
dred; am another. In my command
there Is standing order to spare nei-
Their Cobo nor any of his assassins !;
they neither expect nor receive quar-

Cuban dropped hand on O'Reilly's
bowed head-"I am sorry that had to
bring you such evil tidings, but we are
men-and this Is war;"
"No, mol 1t isn't war-it's merciless
savagery To murder children and to
outrage women-why, that violates all
the ethics of warfare"
"Ethicsi" the colonel cried harshly.
Ethics? He'll is without ethics. Why
look for ethics In war? Violence

war. 1t is mans agony-woman's de-
spair. 1t is defiance OF God. War
is without mercy, without law; 1t is

why not? So long as we do not know

Colonel Lopez walked away into the
darkness.
Judson and his adventurous country
man did not see O'Rcilly that night,
nor, In fact, did anyone. But the next
morning he appeared before General
Gomez. He was haggard, sick, list
less. The old Porto Rican had heard
from Lopez in the meantime; he was
sympathetic.

CHAPTER XIII.
The City Among the Leaves and the
City of Begears.

City OF bSuqArss
The night was moonleSS and warm.
An impalpable haze dimmed the star
glow, only the diffused illumination of
the open sea enabled the passengers
of the Fair Play to identify that
blacker darkness on the horizon ahead
of them as land Major Ramos was on
the bridge with the captain. Two men
were taking soundings In blind
search for that steep wall which forms
the side of the old Bahama channel.
When the lead finally gave them warn
ing, the Fair Play lost her Roadway
and came to stop, rolling lazily.
Major Ramos spoke In low tone
from the darkness above, calling for a
volunteer boats crew to reconnoiter
and to look for an opening through the
reef. Before the words were out of
his mouth O'Reilly had offered him.
self.
Ten minutes later he found himself
at the steering oar of one Of the ships
lifeboats, heading shoreward. There
was long nights work ahead; time
passed, and 80 O'Reilly altered his
course and cruised along outside the
white water, urging his crew to lustier
strokes.
A mile-two miles-it seemed like
ten to the taut oarsmen, and then a
black hiatus of still water showed In
phosphorescent foam. O'Reilly ex-
plored 1t briefly; then he turned back
toward the ship. Soon he and his crew
were aboard and the ship was CROPPING
her way toward the break in the reef.
Meanwhile, her deck became a scene
of feverish activity; out from her hold
came cases of ammunition and medical
supplies; the f1eldpiece on the bow was
hurriedly dismounted; the small boats,
of which there was an extra number,
were swung out, with the result that
when the Fair Play had Unanswered
as close as she dared everything was
in readiness.
O'Reilly took the first load through,
and discharged it upon sandy beach.
Every man tumbled overheard and
waded ashore with packing case; he
dropped this in the sand above high
tide mark, and then ran back for an
other. 1t was swift, hot work. From
the darkness on each side came the
sounds of other boat crews similarly
engaged.
Daylight was coming when the last
boat cast Off and the Fair Play. with
a hoarse, triumphant blast OF her
whistle, faded into the north. her part
in the expedition at an end.
Dawn showed the voyagers that they
were indeed fortunate, for they were
upon the mainland of Cuba. and as far
as they could see, both east and west,
the reef was unbroken. Men were
lolling about, exhausted, but Major Ra-
mos allowed them no time for rest; he
reused them, and kept them on the go
until the priceless supplies had been
collected within the shelter OF the
brush. Then he broke open certain
packages and distributed arms among
his followers.

Neyada's Record Good

Adiutant General Sullivan is in
receipt of a telegram from General
Crowder congratulating Nevada on
the fact that she took second place
in the nation wide race in the class
flying of the remaining registrants
of the September 1913 Registration
A short time ago the first race
for the classification and physical
examination of all rcgistrants be
tween the ages of 10 and So i'll
which every State i'll the Union
was making strenuous competition
Nevada also took second place and
resulted in this state obtaining
prominent recognition by Wash
ington as we'll as by the other less
fortunate States.
The success of Nevada in ma
king the splendid record she did i'll
both races, is i'll large measure
due to the work OF the Boards III
the States Every board entered
into the spirit of the race from the
very first and without any limit to
the amount of time they expended
OH this war work, lent every effort
to complete their respet tive task 5
i'll record time. Had one Board
failed to respond the entire States
work would have been in vain.
The first County to finish her
work in this race was Esmeralda.
The Counties war divided into one
dot and the two dot classes accord
ing to the number of registrants.
The one dot included the Counties
with a lesser registration than the
two dot. Washoe County with the
greatest number of registrants of
any County il the State took first
honors III the two dot class and
was amongst the first counties to
finish the work.

Death Of DOrriS Taylor

Yesterdays Gazette announces
the death of Miss Doris TAYLOR in
Reno on THANKSGIVING Day of in
tluenza. Miss Taylor was horn in
Hawthorne a years ago and her
early girlhood was spent here
She was we'll known and highly
respected here, and the announce
ment of her sudden death comes as
a shock to us all.
We take the following from the
Gazette:
Miss Doris Taylor, teacher at
the Brown S school, and one of the
popular graduates Of the university
with the class of 1917, died last
night at the William Stevens ranch

A Correction

In our last issue, III the weekly
letter from our Luiling correspon-
dent, we inadvertently stated that
Mr.. and Mrs. George Rodgers had
gone to Reno to reside. Our cor
respondent wrote that Mr.. Rogers
had gone to Reno, but the printer
made the mistake of putting Mrs.
Rodgers in the paper. The fault
is ours, and we hope onr readers
will not place the blame ON our
Luning correspondent.
