Peace or War? Dorothy Is
Forced to Choose.

Synopsis - Geoffry Carlyle,
master of sailing ships at TWEEN
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 its 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 a 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. Carlyle finds a friend in
Watkins, an English sailor. Es-
tada, acting captain, makes Car
lyle first mate of the Namur.

Processes Are Taught.

The decision of one of New York's
retail stores to install merchandise
laboratory in which materials and
workmanship were to be tested has
shown such good results that, accOrd-
ing to representative of the store
the idea will probably be followed by
other stores. Not only are the buy
ers present when tests are made, but
the sales persons in the department
handling the goods examined are also
witnesses of the tests and the audi
ence at the lecture accompanying the
experiments. In this way the sales
people are acquainted with the proc
esses used in manufacturing and are
given an intelligent idea of the mer.
chandise they are selling. This has
increased their interest In the mer-
chandise they are selling. This has
been found, had very good results In
placing their craftsmanship on high

PRICES OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
Do Not Fully Respond Immediately to
Advance In Cost Of Feed-Lao

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Higher prices of the crops eaten by
live stock should find their way into
higher prices for live stock products.
Eventually they may, but there is
what the bureau of crop estimates Of
the United States department of agri-
culture calls a flag" Product prices
do not fully respond at once to- ad-
vance in feed prices. Such was the
situation of farmers with regard to
the prices of dairy products and other
animal products from 1915 to 1913
and the lag was heavily felt by farm
ers In 1917.
From 1915 to 1916 crop prices in
creased Al per cent, and from 1915 to
1918 about 120 per cent. During the
same time the total value of animal
products on the farm did not CORE
spondingly gain, although tendency
to overtake the lag appeared in 1918.
In the meantime live stock has in
creased in number and price, and enor-
mously In total value, although not
enough to hold Its place in the process
sion, and it is interesting to compare
the total value of live stock prod
ucts with the total value of live stock
itself year by year during the war. In
each of the three years, 1913-1915, the

CHAPTER XVI.
In Dorotny's Stateroom.

I stood crouched, with eye at the
crack watchful of every movement in
the lighted cabin, my own decision
made. 1 must see and talk with Dor

and departed along the passage lead

gether preparatory to being washed.

likely to occur, although the situation
was not without peril. l crept along

There was no light, except a glimmer

Can Be Prevented by Application
Of Proper Methods.

Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Notified butter is frequently found
on the market at this time of the
year, and, even though it may be Of
very good flavor, it is strongly dis
eliminated against by the purchaser.
AS this defect is one Of workmanship,
it can be overcome by the application
Of proper methods on the part of the
buttermaker.
Notifies are caused primarily by an
uneven distribution of salt in the but
ter. This may be produced by insult
ffcient working Of the butter or by
churning, washing, and working it at
a very low temperature, or by washing
or working it at temperature several
degrees higher or lower than the
churning temperature.
When the quantity Of butter made In
one churning Is much less than usual,
1t Is necessary to work 1T a greater
number Of revolutions of the churn
than usual in order to produce the
same results on the butter.
Extremely low temperatures OF
churning, washing, and working should
be avoided, because they produce SO
firm butter that 1t is only with
great difficulty that the salt can be
worked uniformly into it. High tenn
peratures Of churning, washing. and
working must also be avoided to pre-
rent an abnormal loss OF fat In the
Duttermilk and also the making Of q
greasy, leaky butter.
Great variations In Temperatures
during the manufacturing process
should always be avoided. Under nor
NAL conditions the temperature Of the |
wash water should be the same as, I
Or within degrees Of. that Of the
suttey milf.

ugly-IoOking brute, the lower portion
of his face apelike and the wool grow

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 thought it best to keep the watch
reasonably busy, so they might thus
learn that 1 knew my work. They

Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
Ali these requirements ofintelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only a fraction of cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?

direction would add to our efficiency
