HAND PUMP BARREL sPRAYER
Implement Is Most Desirable and Can
Be Bought and Maintained at
Small Expense.

For the average farmer whose or
chard is small and of minor impor-
lance in his farm production, the ordi-
nary hand pump barrel sprayer is the
most desirable. 1t can be bought and
maintained at comparatively small
cost, while the initial cost of the large
power sprayer is so great as to make
the owner Of the small orchard hesi-
tate about it's purchase. In some cases
neighbOr or one who makes bust
ness of doing custom spraying may
be engaged to do the work with the
power sprayer which he owns. But
even under such conditions, it often
happens that one is unable to get the
work done just at the right time.

I stepped inside, doubtful enough
of what all this might mean, yet
quite prepared to accept of any
chance it might offer. Estada sat up
right in the chair gazing straight at
me, his own face clearly revealed in
the light from the open port. His
face was swarthy, long and thin, with
hard, set lips under long, intensely
black mustache, his cheeks strangely
crisscrOssed by lines. The nose was
large, distinctively Roman, yielding
him hawklike appearance, but it
was his eyes which fascinated me.

said, "nOr, as matter of fact, anyone

Dare He Confide in Anyone?
Carlyle Takes a Chance.

Synopsis = Geoffry Carlyle,
master Of sailing ships at twen-
ty-six, is sentenced to- 20 years
servitude in the American col
onies for participation in the
Monmouth rebellion in England.
Among the passengers on board
the ship on which he is sent
across are Roger Fairfax,
wealthy Maryland planter; his
niece, Dorothy Fairfax, and Lieu
tenant Sanchez, Spaniard, who
became acquainted with the Fair
faxes in London. Carlyle meets
Dorothy, who informs him her
uncle has bought his services.
Sanchez shows himself an enemy
Of Carlyle. The Fairfax party,
now on it's own sloop in the
Chesapeake bay, encounters a
mysterious bark, the Namur Of
Rotterdam. Carlyle discovers
that Sanchez is .'Black Sanchez"
! planning to steal the Fairfax
gold and abduct Dorothy. He
fights Sanchez and leaves him
for dead. In battle with
Sanchez followers, however, he
is overpowered and thrown into
the bay. In a desperate effort
to save Dorothy, Carlyle decides
to swim to the Namur. By a
ruse he gets aboard and min
giles with the crew. The pirates
return to the Namur with Dor
othy, the captured gold and
Sanchez, badly wounded but still
alive.
