more money than brains, Is inyeigled by
strong minded spinster, Miss Higglesby-
broWIae, into financing an expedition to

island. Her niece. Virginia Harding, I'M

CHAPTER III.-TaIking with Dugald
Shaw, the leader of the expedition, Vir-

practically accusing Shaw and the other
members Of the party, including some
what uncertain parsonage, Captain Mag

II. Tubbs, of being in conspiracy to de-
fraud Miss Jane Harding. Their relations.
naturally. are somewhat strained.
CHAPTER IF.-Landing on the island

have been hailed by the natives, if
there had been any, as the islands

On this first day we gathered in the
cool of the afternoon about our table
of packing boxes for an event which
even I. whose role was that of skep-

at last TO produce her map and re

DROUTH BROKEN
 BY HEAVY RAIN

A heavy rain, which was general over the county, last night broke q drouth which in some sections had ex tended over a perior of nearly four weeks. The precipitation at Conway measured 2.75 inches, being the beav- jest rain to occur since the record breaking flood of last April.
 The rain will be of immense benefit to growing crops, pastures and trucl, patches. Old corn in many sections was beginning to suffer severely for want of moisture, and the rain will be sufficient to insure the maturing of good crop of early corn. Whi!e the growth of the cotton plant will be benefited by the rain, some farmers fear that the increase of weevils from the moisture will offset the benefit to cotton from the rain.
