WOOL IVES OF TIE SEA
By RANDALL PARRISH
Copyright, BY A. c. McClurg & Co.

No CLEAN Of light appeared in any
direction; no sound echoed across the
dark waste Of water. 1t was clearly
impossible for me to attempt any re-
turn to the wharf through the impene-
trable black curtain which shut me in.
What, then, could / do? What might
I still hope to accomplish? Those fell
lows had swept the sloop clean, and
had doubtless long ago scuttled it..
They would suddenly find themselves
leaderless, unguided. Would that suf-
fee to stop them? Would the discov-
cry Of his body halt his followers and
send them rushing back to their boat,
eager to get safely away? This did
not seem likely. Estada knew Of my
boarding the sloop from the wharf,
and would at once connect the fact Of
my being ashore with the killing Of
Sanchez. This would satisfy him
there was no further danger. Besides,
these were not men to flee in panic.
Surely not with that ruffian Estada yet
alive to lead them, and the knowledge
that fifty thousand pounds was yonder
in that unguarded house, with no one
to protect the treasure but two old
men asleep, and the women. The
women Dorothy! What would be-
come Of her? Into whose hands would
she fall in that foul division Of spells .
Estada's? And I, afloat and helpless
in this boat, what could I do?

Men BeIIhops and Walters
Get More Tips Than Women,
Labor Statistics Reveal

Hotel guests pay far larger tips to
bellhops and walters than to chamber
maids, according to estimates Of man
ayers Of 1853 hotels reported in the la
Dor review of the department Of labor.
The figures show that maids receive
average tips Of only from II to. 80
cents a day, as compared with $1.27 to
$3.7S for bellmen and from $1.16 to
1897 for walters.
The difference makes the real in
come Of maids less than bellmen, al
though the average daily rate Of wages
is $1.29 for the maid and SO cents for
the bellboy.
The report shows that men working
In hotels and restaurants outnumber
women in occupations usually regard
ed as women's work. OF the 10000
employees counted in those vocations,
"a 900 are men. OF the cooks 9 per
cent are women, of the dishwashers,
40 per cent are women, and Of the
kitchen help, 81 per cent are women.
A striking contrast between the
wages paid men and women in the
same occupation Is shown by the re-
port, which is said to be the first ever
prepared on a nationwide scale for
the hotel business. Thus, "a men
cooks are paid $40 day, while only
one woman receives as much as So

American Angora Cats of
English or Scotch Origin

Angora is the name popularity ap-
piled to Persian and other varieties Of
long-haired cats-a strange custom, for
cat fanciers have never been able to
find long-haired cat in Angora. Anti
quarians testify, however, that they
were known to the ancients long be-
fore the Christian era. They were first
carried to the United States by sail
ors who brought them from India to
Maine. The harder specimens adapt
ed themselves to the Maine climate,
and became very popular and were
raised for show purposes, Maine hav-
ing had cat shows long before the first
national show at Madison Square Gar
den, in 1895. English cat fanciers,
however, were more careful to pre-
serve the thoroughbred strain, and
won many prizes in American exhibit
lions. American dealers bought this
stock, with the result that now most
champion American cats of this kind

I became aware that two men were

busily engaged in tightening the gas
kets to better secure the loosening

drove the temptation to falter away
and strobe on up the bank into the
black shadow Of the trees.
I found extremely hard walking as
I advanced through tangled under

even shorter than I had anticipated.
It was not until after had advanced

stopped low to thus gain clearer vision

we had swept past the previous after
noon. I waded straight out through
the lines of surf, until all excepting
the head became completely sub
merged. If were to reach the bark
at all this was the one opportunity.
I stood there, resisting the undertow

to retain my footing, intent upon my
purpose. Full strength had come back
to my muscles and my head was again

force Of the incoming sea, yet making
fair progress. Some unconsidered cur

for, when the outlines of the bark
again became dimly visible through
the night found myself well to star
board Of the vessel. Stroking well
under water and with only my eyes
exposed above the surface, I changed
my course to the left and slowly and
cautiously drew in toward the star
board bow. A few moments later, I'M

from observation by the bulge Of the
overhang and density Of the shadow,

Cancer Kills One In Ten
Over Forty; Durable, Federal
a. Health Service Declares

The federal health service, re-en.
forcing repeated advice from state
health boards and the American So
ciety for the Control of Cancer, has
issued q cancer circular for public dis.
tribution. It declares one out Of every
ten persons over forty dies Of cancer
While the great war cost the United
States about $4,000 lives, cancer in
the same two years claimed 10000
people In this country.
The government agency warns that
cancer is unquestionably increasing
throughout the world, although it is
durable If treated early.
"At the beginning cancer is usually
painless and difficult to detect" the
new bulletin points out. "At it's first
small growth it can be safely and
easily removed by a competent sur.
geon. Cancer Is not a constitutional
or blood disease, is not contagious,
and is, practically speaking, not her
editary. Persistent abnormal dis
charge or bleeding is suspicious. Sores
cracks, decorations, Jumps and ulcers
which do not heal, and warts, moles or
birthmarks which change in size, color
or appearance, may turn into cancer
unless treated and cured. Persistent
indigestion in middle life, with loss Of
weight and change Of color, or with
pain, vomiting or diarrhea, calls for
thorough and competent medical ad-
vice as to the possibility Of internal
cancer. A doctor who treats a sus-
picious symptom without making a
thorough examination does not know
his business"
The bulletin emphasizes that no
medicine will cure cancer and that
early diagnosis is all-important.

Fruits and Vegetables
Should Not Be Wasted

A pantry well filled with home
canned and otherwise preserved fruits
and vegetables means more varied, at
tractive and wholesome diet during the
winter months, as well as cheaper liv-
ing. Don't let any vegetables go to
waste. It will be wise economy to
store all you can, dry, pickle or brine.
A well-ventilated cellar is a convent
ent storage place. If there is no avail
able space there an outdoor pit stor-
age is satisfactory. Select a well.
drained spot, pile the vegetables in a
shallow trench, cover with straw, then
layer Of dirt, etc., to protect from
freezing, and provide ventilation at
the top.

PROFIT FROM
RAISING POULTRY

There is considerable profit in poul-
try at the present time. The matter
Of profit in poultry keeping is a thing
which each person must solve for him
self, so much depends upon the keeper.
Poultry raising is not easy work; it
requires lots Of time and patience.
Where stock is kept and poultry has
free range, hen may be kept for
year on four to six pecks of corn or
it's equivalent. No one thinking of
going into this business can figure on
a profit. above 81 a hen, and that is
much too large If the keeper is mex
perienced.
If the hens are given warm, clean,
dry quarters and variety of grain
green vegetable food of some kind
with plenty Of ground oyster shells
and once or twice a week a little
ground bone and meat meal, they will
keep in good thrifty condition. Early
Matched pullets will usually commence
to lay about the middle Of January.
One and two-year-old hens will seldom
lay when the weather is very cold.

larity Of feeding, pure clean water

feed mixed grain, wheat, corn and
oats in the morning and evening; the
grain Is sown over the cut straw in
the feeding room. At noon scalded
dne-cut clover hay mixed with wheat
bran and little oil meal is fed. On
this food the hens lay fairly well, even
in cold weather. I raise most all Of
my feed and have an abundance Of
grass and clover pasture in summer,
and rye and wheat pasture in winter.
When snow covers the ground, feed
cabbage leaves, beets and turnips, cut
fine and mixed with bran. There is
not much money in the business If
most Of the grain has to be bought and

British Maidens Sigh in
Vain for Husbands While
Living Cost Grows Higher

Shortage Of men and the high cost
of loving are responsible for the hus-
bandless plight Of at least 100000
British maidens.
The swain finds that diamonds have
advanced Is per cent. Wedding rings
have increased in price on almost the
same ratio as engagement rings. What
is still more ominOus for the man who
is inclined to become husband is the
fact that the average British maiden
eats more than she did before the war.
War work encouraged large appe-
titles, but long endurance Of bully-beef
hashes and stews and enforced &C
quaintance> with Irish and other vari-
cites Of stews have made those former
ly delectable dishes somewhat unpal-
atable to the maiden who, during the
time the Germans were being whipped,
was stimulating her energies with
plain GRUB"
A box of good chocolates that used
to cost SO cents now fetches $1.25 to
$1.5O a pound. In the frowsiest movie
theater they get 60 cents for fairly
good seat that formerly was sold for
Is cents.
When it comes to after-marriage ex-
penses the intended husband finds that
household furniture has gone up at
least 800 per cent. A piano costs $500
or 5000. A respectable baby carriage
sells for $40 to $50. Shoes are $12 to
SIS a pair. AS to rent, if man can
not buy furniture at its present exorbi-
tant price he must pay $40 to $50 q
week for a small furnished flat.
