WATCH FOR TIE SWEET POTATO
NIeEViL-.

Huy ard cat Arkansas sweet pota.
tees oaly. Plant nothing but Arkan-
s2s grown slips THIS is the advice
given to tho people Of the state by
George G. Becker, Entomogo,ist, Uni
Ycrsity OF Arkansas, because tho,
sweet potato weeyil, q destructive in
sect winch is spread by being carried
i'll shipments Of sweet potatoes and
sweet potato slips, has long been
known to occur In Texas and Louis
Jana and Is now dangerously closa
to The Arkansas line and may prove
q dangerous menace to Arkansas
sweet Gatato growers.
Nature Of rs oana1ye.
Tho sweet potato weovil and it's
larvae Bore into vines and roots OF
the sweet potato and the larvae or
gru55 WORK. Their way down the stem
CT the vine OF the sweet potato where.
they cause their greatest damage.
Here they tunnel our in all directions.
leaving their burrows filled behind
them with a powdery looking excre-
ment. Sweet potatoes may become so
badly infested that they are rejected
even by hogs, and weevils may be-
come numerous enough in a field so
e.s to make the crop fetal failure.
IN order to avoid the Introduction
OF this pest the State Plant Board at
its meeting held in Rogers, Ark, on
March 16th enacted most drastic
rules which call for the destruction
OF all sweet potato slips and other
products coming into the state and
found to be infested with the weevil;
consequently, the safest plan Is To buy
the home grown products and thus
stop shipments fro1a questionable
sources.
Every farmer will find it to his own
iatereet to keep constantly Oh the
lookout for this pest and report or
send any suspicious wecvis Or pota~
toes Immediately to the State Ento.

W eHuure,
In view Of these recent outrages,
however, the Executive Committee
feels that it is its duty to lay before

fore, the Executive Committee has
deemed it wise to appoint n committee
of three, Of which the Honorable ST.
mon Wolf is chairman, to call on you
at the earliest possible moment and
lay the matter before you in person.
Permit me, therefore, on behalf Of

I entered she looked up piteously at
me.
"Who-was-tha she asked in a

"An impudent fellow-that is all,
Jacqueline."

answered slowly. "It made me

She put her arms about my neck and
cried. I tried to comfort her, but it
was a long time before I succeeded.

1t had grown dark long before and
looking at my watch, was surprised
to see that 1t was already past six
O'Clock. I had no time to lose In re-
turning to the Chateau.
But though I could see 1t outlined
upon the cliff soon found myself lost
among the maze of narrow streets In
which I was wandering. A man was
coming up. the street behind me, and
i turned to question him, but as de-
creased my pace he diminished his
also, and when I quickened mine he
went faster as well. I began to have
= an uneasy sense that he might be fol-
lowing me, and accordingly FASTENED
onward until came to a road which
seemed to lead up the hill toward the
ramparts.
The road, however, led me into a
blind alley, the farther extremity be-
ing the base Of the cliff; but another
street emerged from 1t at right
angle, and I plunged into this, believ-
ing that any of the byways would
eventually take me to the top of the
ACTIVITY.
AS entered this street heard the
footsteps behind me quicken and, look
ing around, perceived that the man
was close upon me. He stopped at
the moment I did and disappeared in
a small court.
Now I was afraid. The mighty
cliff before me, the silence OF the de-
serted alleys In which / wandered
helplessly, the thought Of Jacqueline
alone, waiting anxiously FOR my return,
almost unnamed me. ] almost ran
forward into the byway which seemed
did so I heard the footsteps close be-
hind me again.
On my left hand was a tiny I'M
fenced courtyard. not more than six
yards In area, and / turned into this
quickly and waited. / was confident
that the bend in the street had hidden
me from my pursuer, and, as I antici-
pated, he came on at swifter rate.
He was abreast of me when / put
out my hand and grasped him by the
coat, while with the other / felt In
my pocket for my automatic pistol.
It was not there. / had left 1t I'm
the pocket of the overcoat which /
had changed at the fuTrier's shop and
had sent to the Chateau. And l was
looking into the villainous face Of the
ruffian who had knocked me down on
Sixth avenue!
"What are you following me for?"
cried furiously.
He wrenched himself out of my
grasp and pulled long knife from his
pocket. I caught him by the wrist,
and we wrestled to and fro upon the
snow. The keen steel slashed my fin
gers, but the thought OF Jacqueline
helped me.
/ got his hand open, snatched the
knife, and flung 1t far away among
the stunted shrubs that chung to the
cliff side. And we stood watching each
other, painting.
He did not try 10 attack me again,
but stood just out OF my reach. grim
ming diabolically at me. His gaze
shifted over my shoulder. Instructive

they come and go, In fact, and now he
is either taking more or the same ones
back again, and God knows why he
takes them to so desolate a. region,
unless, as the rumor is, he has discov-
cred coal fields upon the seigniory and
holds M. Duchaine in his power. Well,
monsieur, party sails with Captain
Duhamel on tonight's tide, which will
carry me down the gulf ALSO Captain
Duhamers boat is berthed at the same
pier as mine upon the opposite side.
"We start together, then, but shall
expect to gain several hours during
the four days journey, for I know
the Claire well, and she cannot keep
pace with my Sainte-Vierge. You
must bring your lady aboard the
Sainte-Verge by nine tonight.
81 shall telegraph to my friend Dan
ton at st. Boniface to have a sleigh
and dogs at your disposal when you
arrive, and a tent. food and sleeping
bags" continued Captain Dubois, "for
1t must be hundred and fifty miles
from st. Boniface to the Chateau Du-
chaine. And so, with half q days
start, you will have nothing to fear
from Leroux-only remember that he
has no scruples. Still I do not think
he will catch you and Mile. Jacqueline
before you reach Chateau Duchaine,"
ne ended, chuckling ut his sagacity.
"Ah, we'll, monsieur. who else could
your lady be?" he asked, smiling Mt my
surprise. 81 knew well that some day
she must leave those wilds. Besides,
Boniface on my return, less than q
week ago, when she pleaded for Sc
crecy? l suspected something agitat-
ed her then. So 1t was to find hus-
band that she departed thus%
So Jacqueline had left her home not
more than a week beforel And the
captain had no suspicion that she was
married them Yet Pere Antoine
claimed to have performed the cere-
mony.
To whom? And where was the man
who should have stood In my place
and shielded her against Leroux?
made Dubois understand, not with
out difficulty. that we were still I'M
married. His face fell when he re-
allied that I was in earnest, but after
a little he made the best of the stu
alton, though it was evident that some
of the glamour was scratched from
the romance, in his opinion.
BY now we had arrived at the wharf
Wedged in among the foes lay the
Claire and the Sainte-Vierge respec-
lively. The latter vessel lay upon our
right as we approached the end of the
wharf.
There was small cabin for Jacque-
line and another for myself adjoining.
I was very we'll satisfied and inquired
the terms.
"Diable! IF 1t were not for the chill
dren there should be no termsT ex-
claimed the captain. But 1T is hard,
monsieur. with prices rising and the
hungry mouths always open, like little
BIRDS"
He was overjoyed at the sight Of
the fifty dollars which I rendered him.
"By the way" said, "do you know
a priest named Pere AntoineT
r "An old man? A strong old MANI
Why, assuredly, monsieur" answered
the captain. Everybody knows HIM
He has the parish OF the Riviere dor =
district, and the largest in Quebec. A
saint, smonsieuri You win do well to
make his acquaintance"
"a The captain parted from me on the
wharf on his way to the telegraph
office, repeating his instructions to the
effect that we were to be aboard the
