Dick slowly, with his eyes on Nell's

The girls lashes swept up swiftly
In surprise. She had taken his words
literally. But the dark-blue eyes met
his for only a fleeting second. Then
the warm tint in her cheeks turned
as red as her lips. Hurriedly she
finished tying the bandage and rose
to her feet.

a strange, gray, somber place! There
was lighter strip Of gray winding

realized presently was the river bed,
and he saw now the pools Of water
narrowed and diminished in size till
they lost themselves in gray sand.

Deneue Fever.-Many people in
South Carolina would like to know
something of "dengue" fever. The
name "dengue"s means dandy and
is said to have been applied because
of the stiff erectness and careful walk
of those afflicted. The disease is old,
having been authentically observed in
Spain in 1864. In 1880 it was cpl
demc in Spain, India and United
States: in 1Sl7-1S2S it was epidemic
in the West Indies and Charleston, S.
c.. and in 1S4S-1S5O in South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and
Texas. In 1870 another epidemic
spread over India and East Africa and
Java, reaching our Gulf states in 1873
In New Orleans at this time 10000 peo-
pie were attacked. Much the same

"Dad, what's the matter?" asked
a voice that was still as sweet as
formerly, but now rather small and

"Bring the antiseptics, cotton. ban

Beldhg fetched a pail of wuter

Then Dick heard light, quick foot

been cooler In his life. More than
Anything else in the world he wanted
to look at Nell Burton; however, d.
vining shat the situation might be
embarrassing to her, he rcfrained
from looking up. She began to bathe
his injured knuckles. He noted the
softness, the deftness of her touch,
and then it seemed her fingers were
not quite as steady as they might
have been. Still, in moment they
appeared to become surer in their
work. When she sat down beside him
and rested his injured hand in her
lap as she cut bandages, she was so
thrillingly near that he yielded to an
irrepressible desire to look up. She
had sweet, fair face warmly tinted
with that same healthy golden-browp
sunburn. Her hair was light gold
and abundant, a waving mass. Her
eyes were shaded by long. downcast
lashes, yet through them he caught a

TEXAS POTASH BEDS
Indications Point to Largest Salt Bed
In World Near Border.

Potash beds large enough to supply
the entire American demand for fer
tilizer and perhaps provide a surplus
for export arc likely to be discovered
in western Texas, according to H. w.
Hoots, now an instructor in the de-
partment of geology in the University
of Kansas For the past year Mr..
Hoots, as a member Of the United
States Geological Survey carried on
Investigations in the prospective fields.
In a territory extending approx
mately 125 miles north and south and
an equal distance east and west along
the New Mexican border strong indi-
cations have been found Of what Is
perhaps the largest salt bed in the
world. Surveys indicate approximate
ly 5000 square miles Of prairie coun-
try unde,'layed with a bed of rock salt
that ranges from 40 to $500 feet in
thickness. This salt bed lies at a
depth of 900 to 1900 feet, making it
convenient for mining operations.
The conditions which are favorable to
the formation of salt are favorable also
to the formation of potash. .~
Four test wells are to be sunk this
winter to get accurate figures about
the underlying strata. One well al
ready is under way and the core is be-
ing preserved to show the thickness Of
the different materials penetrated. If
these test wells result as expected in
showing the value of the salt deposits,
other tests will be made to determine
the limits of the field and the loca
ton Of its richer parts. "
Minor test wells at Means, River,
Bryant, Burns, Mcdowell and st. Rita
have produced the raw potash but not
Oil productive basis.
IF this potash field proves what is
expected" said MI. Hoots, sit will
mean that the United States has found
an internal source which is needed so
much not only as a soil fertilizer but
also in the manufacture of soap, glass,
explosives and medical supplies. Com
paratively little potash is now being
obtained in the United States and
what there is now comes from western
Nebraska. Searlcs Lake, California,
and the great Salt Lake region in
Utah.

When Stubby was sure the hunters dogs had gone for good, and there
 was no chance of them returning, he
 cautiously crawled out with one duck
 in his mouth. With only one he could
 make better progress through the long grass. So he carried it to the
 house and dropped it at his masters
 feet he sat on the porch, smoking. By all that's wonderful. see what
 that dogs brought me- MT. Black
 burn exclaimed to his wife, who sat
 nearby. "A freshly killed duck! He
 must have stolen it from the hunters
 we heard shooting about an hour
 ago. The cause of this, my dear, was
 your doubling my dog was as smart
 as your cat, and he has done this 10
 prove that he is ten times smarter
 While they were talking, Stubby
 ran back to get the other d1ck, and
 when he appeared with it, they threw
 up their hands and declared him
 quite the snartest dog that they had
 ever seen And Mrs. Blackburn said he should have all the fat duck legs for his OWL.
 My, won't the hunter who shot
 these be angry when his dogs can't find the ducks he probably saw drop!" exclaimed MT. Blackburn.
 After resting a while, Stubby went to ma Button, to crow over n1Ln-- but Button was nowhere to be found. T suppose" thought Stubby, that he has gone to tell EIlly about the rats. Well, I'll just appear in time to relate my duck story and make his sound like a thirty-five cent one.'' Stubby was right. That was just what Button was doing, for he found the cat the center of an admiring group of animals who were all stand ing in the barnyard in a circle, listen ing to his account. And great was their surprise and admiration of Stub | done. Button did not wait to hear the end of the story, but wandered back to the house, where ne arrived 1 just in time to see a couple of hunt | CTS with dogs at their heels gcing up l to the porch to ask MT. Blackburn | if they might have lodging for the l night, in payment for which they l would give him all the ducks he could 1 eat.
 Seeing they were gentlemen, MT. Blackburn said he would gladly have them as guests until the next morn ing, but that they could keep their ducks as he had just received a pair l as a present.

BURKETT STARS!


 That heading may we'll be used once leading hitter of 'enl all. For Burkett has proved a shining light in a new ro1e-that of scout and coach for McGraw
 Burkett has passed up good offer from Boston college to sign another contract with the Giants.
 Burkefts first service as a. Giant dates back to 1890. when he joined the club as pitcher, only to be con- verted into an outfie1der because Of his inability to locate the plate. Two years later he went to Cleveland For eleven seasons in his big league ca reer Burkett batted better than 300. In 1895 he batted .423. Hugh Duff fy's record of .438 in 1894 was the only mark to beat it. He hit over 400 three seasons, the only man to accomplish that feat in the games history.
 Burkett was a member of the fa nous Cleveland Spider team of 1se5 which defeated the famous Baltimore Or3oles in the Temple cup series Mo Graw, now Burkett's chief, and Hupb Jennings, also associated with Mc- Graw of late in the role of assistant were in the Criole lineup. The Sni. ders won four out of the five ganea Orioles licked the Spiders fonr. straight. The last defeat was a to shutout at Cleveland
 Since his playing days Burkett has shone as coach of ooI1ege baseball teams. His work with the Holy Cross team won the attention of the col 1egiate world.

RENTS OF RI c H MAY FALL IN

(By International News Service :,

Noy lIeFndt1Onal News SeTVlCP.A
 New York, Feb. 20-Rents in New York will come down in the year l922-for the rich, but not for the poor.
 This is the consensus of opinion among New York's builders and real estate men, who are sorry to have to smash the popular illusion that the rent break will be in direct ratio to the price of the apartment. The day of the $30-a-month team-heated fiat is gone forever, they say. In fact the only apartments that will come don appreciably in price, according to expert opinion, are those in the class of s5,000 year or more.
 The firm of Pease & E11iman which offers the most optim iStic of rent prognostications, believes that the drop may even touch the class of homes renting at $1, 200 a year
 About the only ray of hope held out by the real estate experts is that if the steady building of new apart ments is continued for eight or nine years. there may be return to the pear-ulrmaL

THIS THE AGE OF
PO TRY, SPEAKER SAYS

"Ths is an age Of poetry" said
Miss Phoebe Hosler, OF orange,
Mass. in her address yesterday af-
ternoon at the Wilmington New
Century club. There was never a
time when there has been so much
good poetry written and published
in America as during the last decade.
America is coming. or rather has
come into her own in literature and
music"
There is no such thing. said the
speaker. as new poetry. II is simply
the old poetry told with a new
voice. Clearness and precision are a
characteristic Of the new poetry,
she said.
She cited Kipling and Bliss Car
men. as fine examples OF the more
conservative OF the new poets. Some
of the radicals aim at an effect of
rough su blimity and succeed IN at
tanning only roughness she said.
In summing up she emphasized that
poetry had gained in quality in
greater precision. clarity and free
dom and had lost none of the truth
beauty and imagery which are the
permanent qualities Of poetry of all
times.

IS DIVIDED
Baynard Considers Calling
Council for Outlining
Reunion Plan
ONLY 3 OF 8
IN CITY zoo

A conference probably will be held
within a few days between Park
Commissioner Samuel H. Baynard,
Park Superintendent Edward r.
Mack and Francis V. dupont, rela-
tive to transporting eight members
Of the elk herd given the city by
United tSates Senator T. Coleman
DUPONT from his Brookdale farm,
near Mount Cuba, to the park zoo.
Three bucks have been moved
from the farm to the park, leaving
one more young buck and seven
COW elk at the farm. More than a
month has been consumed in trans
porting these three elk, but Harry
Gibson, a former western cow
puncher has been forced to admit
that its one thing to ring and rope
steers and another to corral a
herd OF elk"
One of the difficulties Of the en-
terprise is that the elk must be pro-
tected from injury. both in capture
and transport. This means that when
one OF the members Of the herd is
lassoed every precaution must be
taken to avert possibility OF a broken
leg in throwing" and "tieing"
According to report, one OF the
men engaged in the capturing of the
elk was badly mauled. In fact, 1t is
said, one of the bucks literally tore
his clothing from him. and cut and
crrafrhad him eauern1v
Park Commissioner Baynard Is Of
the opinion that the men regularly
employed on the Brookdala Farm,
who are familiar with the herd, win
be able to accomplish the trick OF
capturing the remaindor Of the herd
much better than strangers. II is for
this reason Mr. Baynard is arranging
for a conference between Mr.. du-
Pont. Park superintendent Mack
and himself.
Meanwhile Me score stands: 3
bucks moved; / buck and seven
cows TO go.
