State Treasurer Henry Rines left
this week for months sojourn in
Florida. It does not look as if Mr..
Rines will have to worry about re-
election this year. It is not likely that
he will have any opposition in his own
party and it is more than likely that
the state democracy will pass him by.

According to announcement, the
Rev. Hutchinson was on hand Tuesday
evening. He read Burns exclusively,
and his selections were of character
that showed Burns as he was and
what he might have been.
By request he read Burns farewell

Spanish forces, authorizing the bearer
to pass through the lines; and, after
a moments reflection, he decided to
leave it on the body.
So this man had been the child's IA
Their, and, apart from her speech, his
coloring showed that he had been an
American. Wallace concluded that he
had been planter, trapped in Sant-

and tried to turn it over, but let 1t
fall when he saw the work that the
bullet had made of the face. He must
not let the little girl carry away any
thing of such memory as thatI

The little girl only looked at him !;
it was evident that she did not under

did your daddy live in Santiago?"
MY daddy has gone away. I want
him." said the child, beginning to
whimper.
Wallace tried her once more.
''Where is your mamma ?' he asked.
But she said nothing. and he sat
down, propping himself against the
shack. He drew the little girl down
beside him.
Now listen to me, Eleanor" he
said "Your daddy has gone away.
He will be gone for a long time. You
must be good and patient, and soon

evitable fear Of fear.
So he resigned himself to his situa-
tion- He emptied his water bottle and,
gripping the end of his gauze roll with
his teeth, managed to bandage his
wound sufficiently to stop the bleed
ing. The 1anguOr, however, was in
creasfng. Sometimes he would doze
for a few moments, awaking with q
start, to wonder where he was, and
what had happened. The air was very
still. The shouts had long since died
away, the rifle firing was a distant
cracking; the tremulous staccato tap
ping of the machine guns was like the
roll of drums far away.
Wallace must have slept for q pro-
longed period, for when next he be-
came conscious he started up to see,
to his intense establishment, a pretty
little girl of three or four years, stand
ing in front of him and looking at him.
He rubbed his eyes, expecting her to
disappear. But she was still there, and
just as he was beginning to piece to-
gether a Spanish phrase she spoke to
him in English.

Wallace reached out and drew the
child toward him. tWhere is your

I'm Eleanor" she answered, "and

She pointed with grimy little hand
toward the interior of the shack, and
Wallace, struggling to his feet with a
great effort, made his way inside.
1t was almost dark in the hut, and
Wallace could only make out with diff
6culty the form of a man who lay, face
downward, upon the ground near the
wall. Presently, however, as his eyes
became more accustomed to the OBJ
security, he saw the bullet wound in
the back of the head.
He looked up at the child, who stood
by, unconcerned. $50 away, Eleanor"
he said gently.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use. when you see new hair. fine
and downy at frst-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded. brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with DAN
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy. and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter. and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it if you will just try a little Dan
derine.-Adv.

grimy hands. Her cheek snuggled into
the hollow of his arm The lieutenant
was curiously touched by this uncon-
scious confidence.
He issued from his ordeal of pain at
last. when the bearers halted in front
of the line of tents that served for q
field hospital. Stretchers by the dozen
were piled about the ground, and more
were arriving constantly. Wounded
men, guided by the sound, came
imping in on the last lap of their
painful journeys. Others, who had ar
rived but had not yet been attended
to. sat or lay in front OF the tents. Or
derlies were scurrying to and fro. Ma
jor Howard caught one of the regi-
mental Surgeons, who looked Mark
over quickly and then picked the child
out of the stretcher.
"Helloi Who's this?" he asked.
Friend of his" said the major, in
dicating Mark.
"She doesn't look like a Cuban young
lady," said the doctor, as he cut away
the sleeve of the tunic.
@Her fathers dead. Hit by a shell
on his way from Santiago. I think he
was an American" said Mark.
"Give her to me. I never had one"
said the doctor, suddenly injecting a
hypodermic into Marks arm.
''Not after that said Mark. vino
ing. Besides, I'm thinking of adopt
ing her myself"
And he wondered what had made
him say that when the thought had
hardly reached his own conscious
ness.
See here, young man! Let me look
at that arm of yours before you talk
that way. Hunt You'll be running
round in a couple of weeks, as well as
ever"
Thank heaven for that - calculated
Mark fervently. 'Then I'll be in at
the DEATH"
81 doubt it. I won't pass you for
duty for six months to come" said the
doctor, grinning. Then, seeing Marks
detected look, he added, more seri-
ously:
''You may thank the modern high
power bullet that you are going to keep
your arm, my boy. It's drilled a nice
little pencil-hole clean through the
joint, instead of shattering it, and
that's got to be filed in with new
growth. Even can't grow bones in
week, wish could. Ten years
ago your arm would have had to come
off. There's nothing more can do for
you, my son." he added, as he smeared
some sticky stuff over the wound and
began adjusting bandage, except tie
you up and put you in the hospital to-
night. and send you down to the base
in the morning."
1.-THE devil you will I guess I'm
well enough to stay on the job as I
am"
Here, haven't any more time to
waste on you'll" said the doctor.
"Pounce will make you a sling and
you'll go into that tent and stay there.
or I'll cashier you. You won't be feel
ing so spry tomorrow morning. Get
out"
He strobe away, leaving Mark look
ing into the grinning black face of
Johnson.
After the sling had been adjusted
he discovered that the sense of we'll
being, due to the hypodermic, was al
ready beginning to leave him. His
servant helped him into the tent and
Major Howard brought in the little
girl, who at once coiled herself up to
sleep at Wallace's side.

they would enjoy their new home inn
mensely, but that he wouldn't take
them home until the poultry show was
over, when the chicks would be out of
their shells.
sit was the second evening of the
poultry show when the man bought
the chicks and sign had been put up
which said, Sold instead of the other
one which had said For Sale
"a great many people had been to
the poultry show that day and that
night. They had admired the beauti-
full ROSTERS, the hens, the geese and
the turkeys, but most of all they liked
the little chicks breaking through their
shells.
AT last everyone left the poultry
show except the ones who were watch
ing over the animals. The barnyard
creatures were a little homesick, but
still they did like cackling and crow
ing and talking over affairs of the
barnyard with each other.
1.-THE little chicks were still halfway
out of their shells and halfway in
their shells. They thought it seemed
quite strange outside in the well-light-
ed building, though now it was really
not lighted very much. Most of the
lights had been turned out, but to the
tiny chicks it was very. very light.
"'See the broken shells we are
leaving behind u.s. said one little chick
to his brother.
"'Will we ever be able to get back in
again?''
az don't believe we WILL said an
other little chick. oh, dear, there we
have gone and broken our shells and
we won't be able to go back when we
want to. And we may want to, very
much indeed. For we may feel very
shy in the great barnyard world where
we are going. And we may want to
crawl back into our little dark hiding
places
"tWe shouldn't have been in such a
rush to get out. Oh, dear oh, dear, and
I was hurrying so,' said another tiny
chick.
Little Chickens said a voice. And
the little chicks peeped softly, What
is it?' They were not in the least
frightened, for the voice was so soft
and sweet.
Little chicks said the voice again,

with the supervision of all boy scout

Doubtless the anticipation of camps

leaders than all other features COM

movement was In response to the
great need OF an organized program
which would take growing boys from

them qualities inherent In the life Of
the pioneer, which the boys Of today
have little or no opportunity to acquire.

BOY
SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council of the Boy
Scouts OF America.)
SEA SCOUTS TO BE FORMED

The sea scout branch of the Boy
der the direction of James A. Wilder.
The lure of the sea Is as strong to
the boy as the lure Of the wilds. For
the first time he Is to have chance
to smell the tar and oakum and feel
the swaylng deck beneath his feet,
even though he may live in a sandy
desert.
The chief sea scout has introduced
new note into scOuting-the idea of
giving every scout definite job with
definite dutiesI Under his system there
is no general rush for the axe and neg
lect Of the shovel. Every scout does
his part of the work and together they
do 1t all-whether 1t is launching a
boat or cooking meal.
AS in the navy, every scout in the
boat will have speciality and n rating
based on that speciality. He will have
certain gear in his charge and will re-
ceive special instruction in the han.
ding and the care of the same.
1t is not absolutely necessary that
there shall be water in or near town
where the sea scouts are to be organ
lied, though not TO have at least
horse-pond will be handicap. Jour
neys to navigable water must then be
undertaken or crew and skipper will
stick at the boat grade. and interesting
but dry-land class of work and games.
1t will be permissible to change a
room into n ship" In this case the
stairways will become "gangways," the
windows ports" and "skylights," and
everything will be kept shipshape.
The United States navy department
has been interested in sea scouting for
a number of years, and some troops OF
sea scouts have had the use of navy
equipment, including boats. Instruc-
ton has been given in some cases by
instructors from navy yards and navy
vessels.
