Camille and Elliot, who is also on board, love each other, but Elliott is afraid to en- gage himself to Camille because of his poverty. She has in her pos session a ring belonging to Reggie Van Tuyl, man -about-town, to whom she has lent money with the ring as security. At a fancy dress dance a masked man of mystery snatches the ring from Camille's fin ger, but Elliot follows 1im and finds it. The man escapes. The ship runs into rough weather. After an early morning swim on deck Camille rec ognises in one of the stokers Reg inal Van Tuyl.
 Cape Town at lastl
 Through the open port-hole of her cabin, where she was packing a suitcase for the two nights to be spent ashore, Camille could see the excited seagulls flying round the ship, making more noise than the passengers, the immi grafton authori- ties, and the heavy footed procession vending it's way Ito pass the doctor" before being allowed to set foot on dry land

 It was early spring now, and she shivered a little in the thin clothes she'd been wearing in the tropics.
 Dolly Mortimer strolled in.
 'Itn be ages before they let us off the ship Too absurd, isn't it? l be- lieve one is forced to stick ones tongue out at the doctor, and he pulls down your lower eyelids, and--Good gracious! Aren't you packing an evening frock. Camille?"
 The latter looked up.

 "I thought we were going ashore to see the sights and not to Ritz dress parade" said Camille feebly
 "Oh, don't be stupid You talk as though we were Yankee schoolmarms on a sort of Cooks excursion. You ought to wear flat-heeled boots and goggles, dearie, and field glasses round your neck and kodak! Dolly filtered. her good humor quite re- stored by this bout of witticism. Then complacently:

MAIL ORDER HOUSES BOOMING


Sales totals of the great mail or
der houses show an enormous in
crease, particularly in strictly farm
ing sections.
This is not pleasant news for re-
tail stores in our average small town
but il is what they may expect.
There is only one. way in which
the insidious mail order campaigns
can be combatted and that is by local
merchants frankly explaining their
merchandising possibilities to the
people through advertising.
1t is well known fact that the
big mail order concerns maintain
departments of considerable magni-
tude to check up the towns where
the local merchants appear to lack
enterprise.
There they concentrate their bat
teries of advertising and catalogue
distribution.
The mail order houses never pros
pers in town where the local mer-
chants advertise consistently, be-
cause the mail order men know that
they cannot compete with the local
store if the merchant understands
his business.
The cheapness with which the big
mail order man can buy is more than
offset by the low overhead the loca
merchant can get along with.
To hold his own, however, the 10
cal merchant must not ,hide his ligh
under a bushel.
The public needs educating to {
knowledge that they can buy at HON,
as cheaply, that they can actual.
see what they are buying before the.
pay for it, and that they do not hav,
to wait sometimes weeks for thu
delivery of the article they want.
The National Cloak and Suit com
pany reports heavy increase in it
business, all in the country, thougl
it is doubtful if this great concerl
carries anything like the line of ur
to-date goods carried by local store
throughout the country.
When the merchants get ready t
talk plainly to the people they wi
have nothing to fear from the ma
order man, but If they remain silen
then the outsider will surely borro'
his way into their profits.
dissatisfaction has spelled man
bankruptcy.

HAS THE NICKEL SMOKE
PASSED OUT

The Connecticut tobacco growers
propose to fix the price of their pro-
duet.
Contracts have been received by
the Connecticut Valley Tobacco AS
sociation totaling more than $4,000
acres. The total stalk cut average
of association members in Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts is only 27,-
S95, so that the acreage signed up
more than assures the formation of
statewide cooperative tobacco
farmers association by which the
farmer will market their crops at a
stipulated uniform price after the
manner of the California fruit grow
ers.
The move has been long time in
arriving, but it is here at last.
The result undoubtedly will prove
favorable to the tobacco growers,
but it may raise the price of the five
cent cigar. Any added expense nat
urally will be passed along to the
ultimate consumer, but, weary as
he is of exploitation, perhaps he will
not mind, provided nothing is added
to the freight by the middleman and
the tobacco growers benefit by the
move.
