"Yery well; I will figure 1t out as best I can. There is nothing further to report?"
 No, senor; all has been as 1t is now"
 He glanced toward Estada, not greatly pleased, I presume, with my brusqueness, yet finding nothing in either words or manner from which to evoke a quarrel. The latter had overheard our conversation, but he stood now with back toward us look ing out on the sea off the port quar- ter. His silent indifference caused LeVere to shrug his shoulders and disappear down the ladder on his way below. I turned my face to the man at the wheel-it was the giant negro, COchose.

CHAPTER Xy.
The Cabin of the Namur.


 Both huge, black hands grasped the spokes, and it was evident that it re- quired all his giant strength to con trol the bucking wheel. He was an ugly-lOoking brute, the lower portion of hi3 face apelike and the wool grow ing so low as to leave him scarcely an inch of forehead. His eyes lifted an instant from the pinnacle card to glance at me curiously. They exhib- tied no flash of recognition.
 For half an hour Estada hung about aft, apparently paying no attention to me, and yet watching my movements closely. There was little to be done, but I thought it best to keep the watch reasonably busy, so they might thus learn that I knew my work. They proved prompt and capable enough, although I was eyed with some Curi- osity when I first went forward, and, no doubt, was very thoroughly dis cussed behind my back. The idlers amidships were 8 totally different class-a mOngrel scum, profanely chatting in Spanish or swaggering about the deck, their very looks g  of my way, and I found no occasion to interfere with their diversions. After Estada left the deck the ma 1ority amused themselves gambling, and as I had received no orders to interfere I permitted the games to pro- Ceed. Mendez interfered only once on occasion of a brief fight. My only instructions from the Portuguese on his going below was to call him at once if q sail was sighted. Apparent ly he was satisfied of my ability to command the deck.
 No occasion to call him arose dur ing my watch. It was still daylight, but with a purple gleam across the waters, when LeVere arrived on deck for my relief. We were talking to- gether abaft the wheel when Estada appeared in the companionway.
 Every promise of clear night" he said, glancing about at the horizon. Better change the course two points, LeVere; we are lying in too close to the coast for our purpose. The table call will come very shortly, Senor Gates"
 washed up hastily In my state room and came out into the cabin perplexed as to what might occur within the next few moments. Yet whatever the result there was EC avoiding it. My every move was one of extreme caution.
 Estada and Estevan awaited me. The latter was all rlgged out, and with smooth black hair oiled and plastered down upon his forehead. I never be held q more disagreeable face, or one which so thoroughly revealed the na ture of man. As I touched his hand at Estadas brief introduction, it was as if 1 fingered a snake.

Any druggist can sup ply you with 2 T. ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup. Or you can use clarified moIasses, honey, or corn syrup, in- stead of sugar syrup, if desired This recipe makes a pint of really remarkable cough remedy. It tastes good, and in spite of it's low cost, 1t can be depended upon to give quick and lasting relief.
 You can feel this take hold of a cough in way that means business. It loOs- ems and raises the phlegm, stops throat tickle and soothes and heals the irTitated membranes that line the throat and bTOn- chiaI tubes with such promptness, ease and certainty that 1t is really aston ishing.
 Pinex is a special and highly concen- trated compound of genuine Norway pine extract, and is probably the best known means of overcoming severe coughs, throat and chest colds.
 There are many worthless limitations Of this mixture. To avoid disappointment, ask for '21a ounces of Pinex' with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded. The PlneX O.. Ft. Wayne, Ind.

PROTECT ROADS IN WINTER
Water and Not Cold Is Cause of In
jury to Highways, Even Those of
Best Construction.

The department of agriculture calls
attention to the fact that water and
not cold is the cause of injury to roads
in winter, even those Of the best con-
struction. It is obvious, therefore, that
it is matter Of economy, from every
point of view, that roads should be as
dry as possible when winter comes on.
During the fall the road should be
carefully gone over and all ruts and
hollows that can hold water solidly
filed in to make the Gambler of the
road surface such that it will drain
quickly and thoroughly. Standing
pools ct the side of the road should
also be drained, as they tend to soak
and soften the foundations of the road,
which may result in bad, "heaving"
when a freeze comes.

How to Test CoTorS.

If the color is solid or with little
white plat sample of it with a strip
of white material. Make strong soap
solution. Have it warm but not hot
Rub and squeeze the goods in this for
ten minutes. Rinse in cold water, let
it dry. If the color holds fast, the
water not colored and the strip Of
white not stained one may be pretty
sure Of the color To test for light,
expose a piece of material, in both I,
wet and dry condition, to strong sun
light for a week. If the goods do not
show signs Of fading it is reasonably
sure they will not do so. If you want
various colors for cotton rug at
small expense use Easter egg dyes.

pier types of roads becomes readily
apparent. It should be observed in
this connection that a large part Of
our total mileage Of public roads is en-
tirely unimproved and that the road
drag is of little use in improving sand
or clay roads which have never been
crowned or drained. A much larger
part, however, has been sufficiently i'm
proved to make the work of the drag
effective, and it is unquestionably true
that the magnitude of this part is
steadily increasing.
Notwithstanding the fact that road
drags, made Of wood or combination
Of wood and metal, have been in use
for at least two generations and were
described in a text book published as
early as 1851, the benefits to be de-
rived from using them are, even now,
far from being generally understood.
This fact is thoroughly evidenced by
the prevalence Of very unsatisfactory
roads upon which considerably more
money is annually expended in hauling
materials to fill holes and ruts than
would be required to maintain the
roads in good condition by the intelli-
gent use of road drag.

confirmed testimony that no Mineral

ney trouble and rheumatic pains for
eight or ten years. I had a dull, heavy
pain in the small of my back. The

to pass them, having to get up during
the night. Doan's Kidney Pills, pro-
cured at Ivey's Drug Store. gave NE

HIGHWAY MODEL is UNIQUE
Made to Show Just How Relocation of
Roads Betters Conditions in
Travelling.

The relocation of old roads seems to
be something mysterious or uncanny
to so many taxpayers that the Penn
sylvania highway department has had
an unusual model made to show con-
ditions. This model measures six by
five feet and was made by a specialist
in such work at Washington. 1t is in
relief, with, roads, fields, houses, trees
and other features of the landscape re-
produced to a correct scale. On it are
shown three types Of poorly located
roads frequently found and the proper
method of relocating each SO as to pro-
vide satisfactory grades and connect
the terminal points ia the most direct
manner. The model also shows three
types of road construction.

Bomb Dropping Balloons.

The first bomb-dropping balloons
were humble enough and equally fu-
tile. Balloons had been used in war
as early as the siege of Maubeuge by
the Austrians for observation purposes.
The first talk of bomb dropping was
in 1872, when the Russians were said
to have a huge balloon for that pur-
pose, but nothing was done with it.
In 1S47, however, the Austrians,
when attacking Venice, sent up paper
fire balloons, which were to drop shells
into the town. But they forgot to al
low for contrary air currents. The
ballons got into one, drifted back to-
ward the Austrians and bombed them
instead of Venice.
