DIAMONDS AND ROMANCE

Love. adventure and fghting-
what more does one want for en-
tc%rtaining reading! And here
these all areas well Is a
glimpse of a strange land and
strange people. Victor Rousseau
is a master of the art of cram
ming action into every page of
an adventure story. He is an
Englishman who got his educa-
ton at Harrow and Oxford,
trotted all over the globe and
then settled down in the United
States as a writing man. He's
been newspaper man and maya
zine editor and for the last fifteen
years he has devoted himself al
most entirely to fiction. There's
plenty of local color in this story,
for he arrived in South Africa
just before the Boer war and
fought in 1T as a volunteer.
Winton Garrett, the hero, is an
American of twenty-five, just out
of college. He calls by appoint
ment on his New York cousin,
Archie Garrett, who is his execu-
tor, to receive his inheritance of
500, 900. He finds that Archie
has invested most of the money
in a diamond mine in South
Africa. So it's up to Winton to
go and see If anything can be
pulled out of the clay hole. He
goes--and runs into a most sur
prising lot of varied adventures.
And of course he meets the one
girl. Winton is what they call
"a fighting fool"-which accounts
for the fight he put up against
odds and for the victory he won.
And that victory, even with the
Diamonds of Malopo," could not
have been complete without the
one girl.

said Winton, who had to see an old
friend off to the West.
Archie consulted his gold watch.
Its only a quarter to one" he said.
There's a pretty fair restaurant
near by. / always go there"
He got up. and Winton seized the
occasion to say:
Hadn't we better get through our
business first, Archie? There won't
be much time afterward."

a~stically. but what's to prevent our
killing two birds with one stone? I'll
give you a statement between the soup
and the meat, you'll read 1t between
the meat and the salad, we'll sign
whatever has to be signed between the
salad and the cafe parfait, and I'll
mail you the deeds-no, by George,
they're in the vault of the Second Ma
tional. Come alongl' said Archie,
clapping on his hat.
"But just a moment, Archie" pro-
tested Winton. You wrote me about
the books. Show me whatever is nee
essary, so that l won't have to come
back"
''Books?' echoed Archie with a puz-
zled expression, as if the word did
not convey very much meaning to him.
did l write that? Yes, | remember
now. But that was just a figure of
speech, Win. 1t looked more business
like on paper. What do you care, so
long as l show you I've doubled your
capital? The fact is, Win. there amt
any books worth speaking of. What's
between cousins? Come along,

"Well, 1t won't trouble me If 1t
doesn't trouble you," said Winton as
they left the office together.

answered Archie. II look on it as a
family matter. Dear Aunt Mary asked

town. He went in, entered the ele-
vator, got out at an upper floor, and
saw the name of his cousin on the
ground glass Of a door.
Winton found his cousin seated at a
very large desk, quite bare of papers,
with his feet on the window-sill, a pa
per-coyered novel in his hand entitled
Les Amours de Viviane," and a huge
cigar in his mouth. The band upon
the wrapper was beginning to smolder,
and it occurred to Winton that the
band on the wrapper of his cousins
cigar had been beginning to smolder
when he saw him in the same place
and the same attitude six months be-
fore. Archie might have remained
there ~immovably during the interven-
ing period for any difference that Win
ton could see.
Hello, Win! You're looking fine !"
said Archie, coming to a reluctant
equilibrium. "Sit down." He pushed
the box Of cigars toward his cousin,
and Winton took one and began to
smoke. I've been looking at the
trees Archie continued. Those
chestnuts are beginning to bloom at
last. You can feel the spring in the
air on a day like this. BY George, 1t

He leaned his elbows on the desk
and bent forward in a confidential at

He nudged him jovially in the ribs.

ment. If we do not cast our votes
you may be sure that it will not pre-
vent the "tools" OF those who want
laws for the forces of evil in poll
tics.
''The sons OF this world are for
their own generation wiser than the
sons Of light" and they are not go
ing to risk a defeat by allowing one
of their constituents to fail to vote.
You remember the contempt that
covers the word Stacker" and it
has not dropped any or Its weight be-
cause the world war is over. If you
do not go to the polls and cast your
ballot for the man that in your heart
you know will put down treachery
and evil in high places your con-
science cannot acquit you. Chris
tians of every party make your
selves known.
In that fifth chapter of Judges
read what Deborah said about the
men who came not to the help OF
Jehovah against the mighty. Meroz' s
sin was not in giving aid to the en-
envy, it was that OF indifference and
inactivity. The men OF MerOz stay
ed at home minded their own bus
mess" and allowed others to jeopar-
dize life and property for the vel
fare of all Of them.
I suppose it will shock you foc
me to say that there IS one heroine
you seldom think about. But I quote
from that same fifth chapter of
Judges: BLESSED above women shall
Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite,
be- I can't say what I would have
done under the circumstances, but
the wicked Sisera was in her power,
and she was used, as the lad Davil
and his slingshot, to redeem her ma
ton.
This is a Christian nation, and if
all of the Christians will vote things
will be cleaned up. Don't misunder-
stand me. / don't want to create the
impression that [ think only the
Democrats are Christians, [ thank
the good Lord that some are in ev-
cry party, but we all know that the
last four years have shown a con
dition that needs rectifying. 1t will
take a clean sweep to do that and
the past year has not been encour-
aging. The oil despatched rotten
ness and the raids on the taxpay-
ers will need more explaining than
can be done to the satisfaction Of
the general public.

Take your Old Testament and

all that is written there, and | hope
that it will cause YOU to read the

There has been q ''I2r1e struggle

every vile and argument has been
used to get the nca Of the various
factions nominated. There have
been men and women. who. ct the

there. or held on to what they had
been sent there to do. This SOrc

the conflict closed they went home

They may not be the men your dele
gate was instructed to vote for, but
none can say that these two are not
able men, and men that we can
trust in these times of strife and
temptation. There is no odor of oil,

a mighty nation and he acquitted
himself as a man. The other has

How to Keep Eggs Through the Hot
Weather

G. H. W., Jackson, Ga, writes
I wish to know how to preserve
eggs in water glass. How long
will they keep, BY this method?
Various methods may be used Tor
the preservation Of eggs. The use
of water glass, however, is probably
regarded now as the best practice one
can follow. One could hardly expect
to store eggs on a commercial scale
satisfactorily through the medium OF
waterglass. This is a method OF egg
preservation essentially suited to the
needs of the family. Where eggs are
properly preserved in water glass
they will keep very satisfactorily for
long periods of time.
The satisfactory preservation OF
eggs in water glass depends on two
factors: first, the condition of the
eggs when put up. and second, the
method of preserving followed. The
eggs must come from a healthy flock
which has been we'll supplied with
shell-forming material.
