CHAPTER Xx-CONTINUED.
"Are you swearing or naming herr

bad"
with deliberate malice o'Reilly said.
gravely: "of course, Il you adopt her,
you can name her what you choose
but she's a mighty brown baby!
have my suspicious that-she's q
mulatto."
Branch was shocked. indignant.
THAT child's as white as you are,
he sputtered. Then noting the twinkle
In O'Reilly's eyes he turned away
muttering angrily.
Strangely enough. Leslie's fantastic
suggestion found echo in more than
one quarter. and many Of his camp
mates began to argue that FL Demon
los baby would certainly bring the
troop good luck, II 1t could keep her.
Adoption of some sort was graVeiy
discussed that evening around more
than one camp fire.
After breakfast on the following
morning the baby was bathed. TINS
was an event, and it had been adver-
tised as such. An interested and ao-
miring group of swarthy cigarette
smokers looked on while Branch otfi-
ciated, Norine's offer to perform the
service less publicly having been re-
fused. Leslie was just drying on the
chubby form when he was unexpect-
edly interrupted.
Jacket had made his round trip In
safety, but instead of bringing
squad Of the enemy's soldiers with him
he had brought the child's parents,
which was a much more sensible thing
to do.
The storekeeper and his wife arrived
unheralded; they gave no warning
of their coming, and they exchanged
no amenities with the ravagers OF
their home. Hearing the shrill. petu-
liant voice of their beloved. they made
directly for it, as eagles swoop from
the sky at threat to their nest.
Branch looked up at the sound OF
some swift approach. He beheld an
entirely strange woman bearing down
upon him. Her face was white, fran
tic. terrible; her arms were out
stretched; she gave utterance to
peculiar, distressing cry. Snatchins
the baby from his lap without SO
much as by your leave" she clutch
ed it to a bilIowing brown bosom.
Leslie rose. protesting. just in time
to receive the full onslaught of the
child's distracted father. He went
down in a swirl of arms and legs;
he felt himself kicked. pounded,
trampled. beaten, scratched. until his
friends came to the rescue and drag
ged him to his feet He rose TO be-
hold a small, fat, disheveled Spaniard
who had turned from assaulting him
and now appeared to be engaged in
biting mouthfuls from such portions
of the baby's anatomy as were not
hidden in its mothers embrace.
A clamor of voices breaking the
Sabbath calm of the morning brought
Norine Evans running from her tent.
One look, and its cause was plain.
Fifty men were talking loudly; fifty
pairs of arms were waving. In con-
sequence of the torrent of words that
beat upon their ears it was some time
before the merchant and his wife
could be made to fully understand
the peculiar circumstances of the kid
mapping, and that no harm had been
intended to their darling. Slowly. bit

by bit, they learned the truth, but
even then the mother could not look
upon Leslie Branch without menacing
dilation of the eyes and a peculiar
expression OF restrained ferocity.
The father was more reasonable.
however; once he was Pssured OF his
daughters safety. his thankfulness
sought outlet. He began by embracing
everyone within his reach He kissed
Norine. he kissed O'Reilly. he kissed
Judson. he made a rush at Leslie
himself; but the latter. suspicious of

that these were the men who had re-
lieved him Of a considerable stock OF
goods and profaned his holy Of HOLES.
he recklessly distributed among them
what money he had upon mis- person
and then gave away the remaining
contents Of his pockets. He swore
his undying love for them all. Shifting
his breast excitedly. he urged them as
personal favor and mark Of his
overlooking gratitude to return to San
Antonio de los Banos, make them
selves masters of all his worldly pos
sessions, and then burn his store.
While this was going on. Jacket
was proudly advertising his share Of
the enterprise. not falling TO give him
self full credit

lean friends. Those people in San
Antonio say I'm the bravest boy they
ever seen. and they give me more'n
a thousand cigars. When i rode away

yelled. 'Vive Cuba Libre" and every
body laughed like hell. / guess those
people never seen nobody like me be-

That afternoon, when IL came time
for the merchant and his little family
to set out for home, a crowd of re-
gretfui Insurrectos assembled TO bid
them farewell and to look for the last
time upon the baby. By now the
mothers apprehensions had given
way to pride and she could bring her
self to smile at the compliments
showered upon her offspring and to
answer in kind those which were
aimed at herself. She even permitted
FL Demonio TO kiss the child goodby.
Her husband. since his arrival in
camp. had heard much about the &C.
centric American. and now, after
apologizing abjectly for his unwar-
ranted attack, he invited Branch to

in spite of Leslie frantic struggles.
he embraced him and planted a moist
kiss upon either cheek.
Amid loud and repeated good wishes
and a cheer for the baby the visitors
rode away.
Lopez linked his arm within
O'Reilly's as they turned back into
the palm grove. With a smile he said:
We'll. i hope this has taught your
friend TO steal no more babies"
I'm afraid he'll steal the very next

New York, Dec. 12.-Another bad
break in the stock market today fol-
lowed action Of the Federal Reserve
Bank In advancing the discount rate
on loans secured by government obli-
cations. The breaks in active stocks
ranged from J to Is points with a
slight recovery at the close
There was genuine liquidation to
such an extent that the short interest
did not bother covering its outstand-
ing contracts. Only few small trad
ers who had been on the short side
got out Of the market. The real short
interest did not cover. Money went to
IS per cent and closed at 9.
II Is useless to discuss individual
stocks lin such a market as that Of
today for not a single issue moved be-
cause OF its own particular value, but
simply because 1t was in the grip of
general circumstances that swayed
the market. II some stocks broke
more than others, 1t was because they
had been more active. The declines
were in exact proportion to recent
advances
The rails distinguished themselves
by their weakness and Pennsylvania
sold down to the lowest price in
years as did also Great Northern.
Northern Pacific and Atchison. The
railroad companies are In receiver

fiaged by government control.
The pitifu1 thing about this rail-

new low record. the pound sterling

PRESERVE EGGS.
Water Glass Keeps Them at Two
Cents Per Dozen.

Clemson College.-The preservation
of eggs in a solution Of water glass
is increasing in popularity every year.
It is unquestionably successful meth
cd of keeping fresh eggs from spring
until the winter months. The process
is very simple and no loss can be sus-
tanned if the eggs are placed in the
solution the day they are laid and the
solution is pure and suitable for the
purpose.
Unless a good grade of water glass
for preserving eggs can be obtained
from the local druggist, it is prefer
able to order the liquid direct from
the manufacturers. One gallon OF the
"E" brand used will make sufficient
preserving solution to cover from fifty
to eighty dozen eggs. A gallon can
shipped by prepaid Parcel Post costs
9 little more than S1.00. The expense
of the solution is, therefore, less than
&c per dozen eggs.
Wooden kegs, tubs or pals, stone
crooks, galvanized iron cans, CT &ny
other convenient vessels will serve
the purpose. 1t is important to keep
the vessel covered tightly to prevent
the preserving solution drying down
and exposing the eggs. At least two
inches of solution should be above the
top layes Of eggs. The vessels con
tanning the eggs should be kept under
the house or in cool place in sum-
mer, and in tie pantry in. cold wealth
er. It has been found, however, that
even if the solution f!oze solid the
eggs were not injured in any way the
name of the manufacturer of water
glass and further information can De
obtained from the Extension Service
of Clemson College.
