There are\ said to be more snakes
in Brazil than in any other country Of
the western hemisphere, an exchange
remarks. At Batuntan, near Sac
Paulo, there is great snake garden
where scientists are studying the mys-
teries of snake biology. The original
season for the establishment Of the

Aathands HaYe Meaning.

There's a reason for placing the bow
Of the hatband at the left side, which
dates back to the days when men used
to settle their troubles with a sword.
It was very necessary then to be able
to draw ones weapon at a moments
notice-quarrels broke out almost
without provocation. Feathers or
hanging plumes were always worn on
tie left side, so that there was no
chance Of their interfering with the
freedom of the sword arm. AS time
went on, feathers gave place to rib
hons, sometimes used to secure the
hat to the head; the ends Of these
were brought to the left side to be
out of the way Of the right arm. When
men ceased to settle their quarrels
summarIly with weapons, the left side
Of the hat continued to carry any lit.
tie extra decoration allowed on 1t; and
there it has remained to this day.

CHAPTER V.
lYck in Prison.


When Dyck Calhoun walked, he was
in the hands of the kings constables,
arrested for the murder Of Erris
Boyne. Also, the landlord was ready
to swear concerning quarrel he had
seen when he opened the door for a
moment. Dyck, with sudden caution,
only said that he would make all clear
at the trial.
Driven through the streets Of Dublin
in n jaunting car between two of the
kings police, he was mark for abuse
by tongue, but was here and there
cheered by partlsans Of the ultra-lOyal
group to which his father adhered
The effect Of the drug was still up
on him and his mind was confused
He remembered the quarrel, 3Oyne's
explanation and the subsequent drink
ing. but he could recall nothing fur
ther. He could not believe he had
killed Boyne; yet Boyne had been
found with wound in his heart, and
his own naked sword lying beside him
on the table. The trouble was that
he could not absolutely swear he had
not committed the crime.
The situation was not eased by his
stay in Jail. On the contrary, 1t began
with a revelation terribly repugnant
to him. He had not long been lodged
In the cell when he received visit
from Michael Clones, who stretched
out his hand in an agony of humilia-
ton.
"Ah. you didn't do it-you didn't do

He was for doing you harm If he

the world knows. But there's one
thing that1l be worse than anything
else to you. You never knew it, and
| never knew it till an hour ago. Did
YOU know who Erris Boyne was? Well
I'll tell you. He was the father OF
Sheila Llyn. He was divorced by Mrs
Llyn many years ago, for having to dc

EGEDE H0N0RED BY DANES
Deeds Of Great Missionary and Pat
riot Have Not Been Forgotten by
Those He Benefited.

Two hundred years ago Hans
Egede set sail from Bergen, Norway,
for Greenland with the idea of acting
as missionary to the descendants
Of Norwegians who had preceded him
by eight centuries. With him on the
'rHnabet," or Hope" were his wife,
his four small children and "a others.
They arrived In Balls river July g.
Though he found no colonists he did
find what he felt was rare oppor'
tunity.
Hans Egede was n hundred pei
cent Norwegian. But In his day
Norway was under Danish sover-
eighty and 1t was, after all, Freder-
lex Nv who did what he could to
finance his undertaking.
Although Egedn. when he arrived
in Greenland, was disappointed, he
was not discouraged. He j: cnce
began his work among the EsKlmos
translated the Bible-with, the In
valuable assistance Of hfs young
rhildren-into their language. and
what is probably of greater signi-
ficance for civilization, re-establish.
ed trade relations with Denmark
that have continued to, this day.
His book entitled "a Description OF
Greenland" has not been entirely
superseded even now. When he re.
turned to Denmark In 1875, his son
Paul continued the work he had be-
gun. He died at Copenhagen In
1853, justly regarded by the Danes
as one of the most courageous and
astute missionaries the world has
known. 1t Is to him that the Danes
are indebted for their one and truly
great overseas possession.

1T isn't going to be told unless you
tell it. Calhoun, and you're too much
of a sportsman for that Besides, why
shouldn't you have one of these If you
want tiff you want 1t? Listen to
me, Calhoun" reaching out a hand to
lay il on Dyck's arm.
Dyck saw the motion, however, and
carefully drew back In his chair. I'm
not an adventurer," he said; "but if !
were, what would there be in it for
me?"
Boyne misunderstood the lock on
Dyck's face. He did not grasp the
meaning behind the words, and he
said 70 him:
"Oh, q good salary-as good as that
of n general, with a commission and
the spois Of war! That's the thing
in the French army that counts for SO
much-spOils Of war. When they're
out on u country like this, they let
their officers lOOse-their officers and
men. Did you ever hear tell of q
French army being pinched for fod'
der, or going thirsty for drink, or
losing It's head for poverty or indi'
gence?"
"NO, l never did"
We'll. then, take the advice Of an
officer of the French army resident in
Dublin" continued Boyne, laughing
'whO has the honor of being received

lie so completely"
"Ill teach you how, Calhoun. It's
not hard. I'll teach you how"
He passed a long cigar over the ta-
BILE to Dyck, who, however, did not
light 1t, but held 1t In his fingers.
Boyne struck light and held 1t out
across the small table. Dyck leaned
forward, but, as he did so, the wine
took possession of his senses. His
head fell forward in sleep, and the
cigar dropped from his fingers.
"Ah, well-ah, we'll, we must do
some business now!" remarked Boyne.
He leaned over Dyck for moment.
Eyes. sound asleep" he said, and
laughed scornfully to himself. "Well,
when it's dark we must get him away.
He'll sleep for four or five hours and
by that time he'll be out on the way
to France, and the rest Is easy"
He was about to go out to the door
that led into the business part Of the
house, when the door leading into the
street opened softly. and woman
stepped inside. She had used the key
which Boyne had forgotten at his
house.
At first he did not hear her. Then,
when he did turn round, 1t was too
late. The knife she carried under her
skirt flashed out and into BOyne'S
heart. He collapsed on the floor with.
out sound, save only q deep sigh.
STOPPING over, Noreen drew the
knife out with a little gurgling cry

and workers in the Cooperative
Burley Tobacco Marketing Associa-
TONS campaign, reports were pre-
sented showing that Bourbon county
had reached the one hundred
per cent mark in the campaign for
signed contracts.
The report showed that a total of
S,125,0O0 pounds of tobacco had
been signed up in the county to date,
which is better than ninety per cent
of last years crop, and estimated to
amount in acreage to approximately
SO per cent. of this years crop.
A large delegation of Bourbon
county growers attended the big
meeting held at Winchester yester-
terday, in the interest of the mar
keting plan, and reported an enthu-
siastic meeting, satisfied that Clark
county will soon be on the honor
roll. They will go to Frankfort to-
day to attend the big meeting to be
held there. Secretary w. E. Hacker.
of the Paris Commercial Club, and
members of the Club have been in
.vited to attend the MONDAY lunch

the speech by Aaron Sapiro in the
afternoon. Merchants of Frankfort
will close their stores and help in
the work of signing the Franklin

morning.
With twenty days left in which to
complete their pool of 100000
pounds of tobacco with the Burley

an effort is being made to sign the
entire production, If it is possible to
obtain it. These two counties are

growing counties. The other ,four
are Marion, Pendleton, Metcalfe and
Harrison.
