marine of another who was hurrying
down the street in Washington.
"Oh, nothing in particular" said the
gyrne, "only the other night takes
my girl to the movies"
Yes, yes, go ont"
She was wearing d brand new pair
of shoes and when she gets inside the
theater- her feet starts to ache and
she takes her shoes off"
"Ah, ha! The plot thickens I"
'Well, when she gets her shoes off,
she can't get 'em on again. and after
the show it cost me four bucks to get
her home in a taxi"
''Stung!" said the interested friend.

CHAPTER ~.
The Isle of Fortune.

Fl
I dropped my book and ran on deck.
Everyone else was already there. The
great cleaning orb of the tropic moon
was binding as the sun. Away to the
faint translucent line of the horizon
rolled an lninity of shining sea.
Straight ahead rose a dark conical
mass. 1t was the mountainous shape
Of Leeward island.
Everybody was craning to get a
clearer view. Hail, isle of Fortune p
exclaimed Miss Browne. I think my
aunt would not have been surprised
if it had begun to rain doubloons upon
the deck.
81 bet we don't put it over some
on them original Argonaut fellers,
Eey?" cried Mr.. Tubbs.
Higher and higher across the sky
lire cut the dark crest of the island
as the freighter steamed valiantly
ahead. Sheer and formidable from
the sea rose line Of black cliffs, and
above them single peak threw its
shadow far across the water. Family
we made out the white line Of the
breakers foamfng at the foot Of the
cliffs.
We coasted slowly along, looking
for the mouth of the little bay. Mean
while we had collected our belongings,
and stood grouped about the deck,
Neady for the first thrilling plunge
into adventure. My aunt and Miss
Browne had tied huge green wells over
their cork helmets, and were clump-
ing about in tremendous .hobnaled
boots. All the luggage / was allowed
to take was in travelling bag and a
gunny-sack, obligingly donated by the
cook. Speaking Of cooks, I found we
had one of our own, a coal-black ne
gro with grizzled wool, an unctuous
voice and the manners of an old-schooi
family retainer. So far as i know his
name was Cookie. l suppose he had
received another once from his spon-
sors in baptism, but if so, it was bur-
led in oblivion.
Now a narrow g1eaming gap ap-
scared In the wall of cliffs, and the
freighter whistled and lay to. There
began hustle at the davits, and
shouts of Lower away!" and for the
first time 1t swept over me that we
were to be put ashore In boats. Aunt

and give plenty of pure drinking wa
ter. Anti-hog-cholera serum is not
cure, but when used as soon as cholera
appears in a herd it seems to have a
favorable effect on some animals in the
very early stage of the disease. Don't
rely on serum to cure sick hogs; it is
primarily a preventive.
If the disease comes to your farm
and runs its course disinfect thor
oughly afterwards all places where
sick hogs have been. First, remove all
infected manure and spread on fields
inaccessible to hogs. Burn all litter,
rubbish and old troughs from infected
pens and lots. Turn over, portable hog
houses, exposing the interior to sun
light. Thoroughly clean pens and
buildings in which sick hogs have been
kept, and disinfect by spraying with
compound cresol solution, one part to 30
parts of soft water. In summer, pas
lures and lots are usually made safe
within three weeks by the action of
sunlight. Fill, drain, or fence off mud
wallows. Disinfect and board off all
runs underneath buildings. Destroy
hogs that don't fully. recover; they may
carry cholera infection.

lily secrets if it was possible to have
servants who were blind and deaf.
One worry that has not caused
many of us to lose sleep is the danger
of being ruined by too much pros
perity. And yet that is absolutely the
only worry we ever have left the well

The Eskimo women think they are
adding to their beauty by having their
faces tattooed. Still some of our own
dear girls thing they are doing the
same thing by painting their maps
to resemble a rainbow.
There is no more harmless nor COW
ardly thing in the world than ridi-
cu1e, and yet there is nothing in all
the world most of US fear as much.
A London clergyman in giving adj
vice to husbands on how to treat
their wives said, among other things:
ssNeyer try to stop their chatter" And
he never cracked smile when he
said it! And boys, don't try to stop
the world from going round, either.
Physicians approve of the dear
ladies' short skirts as sanitary and
very healthful. The rest of the men
lust approve of them without giving
a reason.
Raising money to provide the meals
for the family gives poor old father
plenty of food for thought.
