"You mustn't OH you

"And why not, little girl?" he said
exultantly. Don't you know I love

And then this very determined
young man settled matters in his
usual straightforward fashion. She
felt herself lifted bodily out of the
car as If she had been a child: she
found herself lying in his arms, with
Hugh's eyes looking very tenderly in
to her own, and a whimsical grin
around his mouth.

She felt his heart pound madly

No Kick In Watermelon.

Juice of the watermelon contains
high content of sugar and table
sugar has been made from it, but not
in commercial way. There is one
popularity about the watermelon: Un-
like nearly all other plants, fruits and
vegetables having sweet juice, good
wine has not been made from the
juice of the watermelon. Cantaloupes,
on the contrary, when their juice is
fermented, and distilled, produce
good quality, or bad quality, of
brandy, according to ones point of
view or palate. But the watermelon

Jerry. From the garden in front came
the dreadful sound of a duet by Algy
and Peter. Not a soul was in sight;
the back of the house was clear. All
that he had to do was to walk quietly
through the wicket-gate to The
Larches with his semi-conscious bur-
den, get to his car, and drive off. 1t
all seemed so easy that he laughed. :. :.
But there were one or two. factors
that he had forgotten, and the first
and most important one was the man
upstairs. The window was thrown up
suddenly, and the man leaned out way
ing his arms. He was still gasping
with the strength of the ammonia, but
Hugh saw him clearly in the light from
the room behind. And as he cursed
himself for fool in not having tied
him up, from the trees close by there
came the sharp clang of metal.
With quick catch in his breath he
began to run. The two men who had
rushed past him before he had entered
the house, and whom, save for pass
ing thought, he had disregarded, had
become the principal danger. For he
had heard that clang before; he re-
membered Jem Smiths white horror
struck face, and then his sigh of re-
lief as the thing-whatever it was
was shut in its cage. And now it was
out, lodging through the trees, let
loose by the two men. He heard some
thing crash into bush on his right,
and give snarl of anger. Like flash
he swerved into the underground on
the left
Then began dreadful game. He
was still some way from the fence,
and he was hampered at every step
by the man slung over his back. He
could hear the thing laundering
about searching for him, and sudden
ly, with cold feeling of fear, he
realized that the animal was in front
of him-that his way to the gate was
barred. The next moment he saw
1t.
Shadowy, indistinct, in the darkness,
he saw something glide between two
bushes. Then 1t came out into the
open, and he knew it had seen him,
though as yet he could not make out
what it was.
Cautiously he lowered the million
aire to the ground, and took step
forward. 1t was enough; with a snarl
of fury the croucAing ~
shambled toward him. Two hairy arms
shot out toward his throat, he smelt
the brute's foetid breath, hot and loath-
some, and he realized what he was
up against. 1t was partially grown
gorilla.
For full minute they fought in
silence, save for the hoarse grunts of
the animal as it tried to tear away
the mans hand from its throat, and
then encircle him with its powerful
arms. And with his brain cold as ice
Hugh saw his danger and kept his
head. 1t couldn't go on; no human
being could last the pace, whatever his
strength. And there was only one
chance of finishing it quickly, the pos

redoubled its efforts. And then, little
by little, the fingers moved, and, the
grip which had been tight before grew
tighter still. Back went its head;
something was swapping in its neck.
With scream of fear and rage it
wrapped its legs round Drummond.

Drummond paused for moment at
the door of the sitting room, then with
a slight shrug he stepped past Peter
son. During the last few days he had
grown to look on this particular room
as the private den of the principals of
the gang. He associated it in his mind
with Peterson himself, suave, impas-
sive, ruthless; with the girl Irma, per-
fectly gowned, lying on the sofa. smok-
ing innumerable cigarettes. and mani
curing her already faultless nails; and
in lesser degree, with Henry Laking-
tons thin, cruel face, and blue, staring
eyes.
But tonight a different scene con-
fronted him. The girl was not there ;
her accustomed place on the sofa was
occupied by an unkempt-looking man
with a ragged beard. At the end of
the table was vacant chair, on the
right of which sat darlington regard
ing him with malevolent fury. Along
the table on each side there were half
a dozen men, and he glanced at their
faces. Some were obviously foreign
ers; some might have been anything
from murderers to Sunday school
teachers. There was one with spec
tacles and the general appearance of

FARMERS RAPED
FOR OPPOSITION

Christian Science Monitor Says
Federation Has Adopted a
Short Sighted Policy.

A step backward Is suggested by
the opposition which the farmers of
the American Farm Bureau Federa-
ton are now bringing sgainst the
BIN in Congress to establish Fed
eral highway commission. says an
editorial in the Christian Science
Monitor The form of this opposition
seems to indicate that the sentiment
of the farmers, so far as 1t has been
organized. prefers to have Federal
assistance for highways given by the
some what hit-or-n.iss method now
being followed. rather than to see the
system altered in fashion TO insure
more definite and more comprehen-
sive development OF highways. Be
yond question, the farmers are right
in wishing to have good systems of
farm to- market roads available at
the earliest possible moment Nobody
can deny that such roads are neces-
sary, and that their development
would be beneficial asike to the far
mers and to those who consune farm
products. The question Is not wheth-
er such roads should be built. IT
rather concerns itself with the man

to build nrst. Many others beside

cording to a statement OF Senator
Penrose. Senator Penrose says it
will be two months before the tariff
experts which Congress authorized the

Members Of the Finance Committee
say that the probable program will be
to get the tariff bill ready to report
to the Senate when the regular ses-

The bill will require at least a month

to the House where the Senate changes
must be considered and acted on be-
fore the bill can be finally enacted.
