down at a rakish angle over one eye.
But, of course, being Aunt Jane, she
must choose this moment to be queen

There, there, auntie," I said sooth-
ingly, "of course you are not going to
leave your bones on this island. If
you did you know, you end Bill Halli-

gave a convulsive shudder.) AS to
my being married, If you were betting
just now on anybody's chances, they
would have to be Captain Magnus',
wouldn't they?"
Good gracious, Virginia !" shrieked
Aunt Jane family. But l went on re-
lentlessly, determined to distract her
mind from thoughts of her approach

All things considered, l suppose /
really ought to ask you to put my af-
fairs in order when you get back If
am carried off by the pirates, natu-
rally shall have to jump overheard
at once, though l dislike the idea Of
drowning, and especially of being
eaten by sharks. Would you mind
putting up a little headstone-it
needn't cost much-in the family plot,
with just Virginia on it? And any
thing of mine that you don't want your
self I'd like Bess to have for the
baby, please. Ask her when the little
duck is old enough to tell her my sad
story"
BY this time Aunt Jane was sob
bing loudly and waving her little hands
about in wild beseeching.
Jane p broke in Miss Browne again
in awful tones But at that. moment
the door of the cabin opened and the
face of Slinker peered in.
Say" he remarked, there amt no
sense in you girls stayin' cooped up
here that / see. I guess me and Horney
can stand you off if you try to rush
us. Come out and cool off little"
The great heat of the day was over
and the sun already dropping behind
the peak of the island. Mr. Shaw
and Cuthbert had been allowed to sit
in the shade, and / thought their
wrists were not too tightly bound for
comfort. Cookie had been released,
and under the eye of Horney was get
ting supper. Crusoe had. earlier in
the day received a kick in the ribs
from Captain Magnus, fortunately too
much occupied with the prisoners to
pursue his vengeance further, and had
fled precipitately, to my enormous re-
lief. The dog was quite wise enough
to know that he would help me best
by keeping out Of the clutches Of our
common foe
Just then there come from the woods
the sound of footsteps and voices, and
the three pirates and Mr.. Tubbs en-
tered the clearing A thrill ran through
the camp. Captors and captives forgot
all else but the great, the burning
qEestion-had the treasure beer dis

GOOD FEEDS FOR FATTENING
Cane and Beet Molasses Tested at
Iowa Experiment Station in
Feeding Steers.

Cane and beet molasses are good
feeds for fattening steers. The only
question, in some cases. is whether it
is economical to feed it in competition
with cheap corn. Tests at Iowa ex-
pertinent station, with two-year-old
steers, showed loss on every ration
tried, but there was smaller loss
when cane and beet molasses were
omitted from the ration in one set of
feeding tests. Tests a year ago last
winter brought this bit of advice: go
slowly in purchasing either cane or
beet molasses if the price is higher
than corn, pounds for pound If a
feeder wants to use a pound or so a
day per steer for an appetizer he can
afford to pay more for it.

take care of what it has, or it may
undergo chemical and putrifcation
changes that cause acute disease.
Besides, these chemical changes
produce poisonous substances that
are carried to every cell and organ
of the body and that cause all sorts
of distressing symptoms.
TanIac, the famous digestive tonic

wide success because it is able to in
vigorate the entire digestive tract.

The world has too many fellows who

Another nice thing about the girls
painting their legs instead of wearing

A farmer often finds after trying
them in double harness his horses
work better singly. And lot of men
and women who have been hitched to-
gether learn they did better alone.
We would not mind poverty if it did
not cost so much to live and other
folks did not have so much more than
we have.
A lot of folks would be glad to quit
worrying if it wasn't for the fact they
are sure the minute they do all the
dreadful things they have been worry
ing about and didn't happen really
will.

With choky little gurgle in her
throat Aunt Jane fell Imply against
me. 1t was too much. All day long
she had been tossed back and forth
like shuttlecock by the battledore of
emotion. She had borne the shock
of Mr.. Tubbs' sordid greed for gold,
his disloyalty to the expedition, his
GOODNESS to herself; she had been shak-
en- by the tender stress of the rec
onciliation, had been captured by
pirates, and now suffered the supreme
blow of this final revelation of the
treachery of Tubbs. To hear her ro-
