This And That

The idea of putting coloring mat
ter in gasoline to distinguish it from
water is interesting, but economical
persons will be quick to suggest a
reversal of the process. Color the
water. It's getting to be SO much
less important.
IT they wouldn't change the colors
IF license tags every year each
state would soon be recognized by
the distinctive color Of it's choice.
Thus, commencing with the current
year the motorists of the country
would come to recognize Kentucky
blue, Missouri orange, Texas black,
Wyoming vcrmillion. Massachusetts
maroon, and so forth as having q
meaning all of their own. The way
matters stand there is no distinction,
and the travellers home State is
not usually recognized until one
has inspected the tag at closer
range. obviously an effort Is
made to achieve some distinction in
color effects, but with most States
changing completely every year it is
no small wonder that 1924 finds six
States and the District of Columbia
using black plates with white
numerals.

CHAPTER Ill

The coach deposited its half-frozen
passengers in front Of the office in the
market square.
Miss Seaton, I'm going to help you
and you father with your baggage"
said Winton. "And l hope to be Of
service in any way that Is possible"
He handed her his card. Then he
became aware that De Witt was stand
ing close at his side and looking over
his shoulder. He turned angrily, and
the man moved away.
Had he read the name on it? 1t did
not matter; but Winton would have
preferred to maintain the advantage of
being unknown, In view of the situa-
ton. He arranged to have his trunk
held until he had found lodgings, and
then, returning, found that Sheila and
her father had quietly disappeared.
The busy day had begun. The slant
ing beams Of the rising sun struck like
shafts of gold upon the post office,
across the square, in which the en-
camped transport riders were prepar-
ing breakfast at numerous fires built
in the tiny spaces between the wagons
with their spans of l%onghorns. Dust
whirls were dancing everywhere, break
ing against the buildings and envelop-
ing those who happened to be passing.
The stores were opened, carts were
driving back from the market, hawkers
and peddlers were afoOt with their
wares.
Malopo was about as large as
Taungs, but, being a boom town, and
a railroad one, had a cleaner and
more prosperous aspect, though the
old-clothes shops were almost as Dlentl-
fvl. Many Of the brick houses were Of

Miss Mary Katherine Campbell,
twice proclaimed miss America"
has taken TANLAC and endorses it
in a statement recently given to the
women of America. In this state
ment, Miss America declares that
Good Health is the basis Of all Beau
ty, and advises women who would be
beautiful to "frst find good health"
Her complete statement as given
is as follows: 81 consider it a great
privilege to be able to tell the thou
sands of women everywhere what a
great tonic TANLAC is. Health is
the basis of all beauty. Without
good health, n is apt to be run
down, nervous, underweight, high
strung, anemic. Indigestion drives
the roses from a woman's cheeks and
robs her of that radiant quality Of
Womanhood that is real beauty.

"I have taken TANLAC and I do
not hesitate to say that it is a Won
derful he~alth-giving tonic. 1t has
brought relief and good health to
many women, and with good health
one may have a measure Of beauty
that will overcome shortcomings in
face and figure.
"Rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes, a
well-rounded figure, a lovable dis
position, go hand in hand with good
health. To those searching for beau

81 heard De Witt unloaded his shares
on some bunch Of fools In New York
before the big stone was found, and
now he's kicking himself"
The advent of a negro man, carrying
a sheaf of copies of the local paper,
just from the press, checked the dis
cussion. A staring headline announced
the TODDGIy VI luc DlS uldllOuu.
"Now, now, gentlemen, there are
copies enough for ALL" demonstrated
the negro; and Winton, reaching for a
paper, took in his appearance with a
of amusement.
He vas a young negro man, appar-
emily in his early twenties. He was

Beyond the market square Winter
could see a little, new suburb Of neai
cottages, with the beginning Of gar
dens, beside a rIyulet, dry now, but
converted into q torrent during the
short rainy season. Large cisterns,
holding and storing the single months

year, squatted upon the roofs.
Beyond this suburb appeared q ris-
ing patch of desolate ground, rocky and
Scared, out Of which projected a sue
cession of wooden Representatives,, re-
sembling the scaffolding of innumerable
small houses that were destined never
to be completed. This vas the dia-
mond ground. And Malopo ended as

He did not sign his name in the Ink
stained register, and the clerk seemed
Indifferent whether he did or not. This
was an act Of common prudence, In his
opinion, although he had nothing on
which to base suspicious against any
one, except the single fact that De

diamond. But Winton had discovered,
his single week In South Africa,
that human nature was pretty much
the same al among the iotsam Of
American mushroom towns.
His room was one of a long row at
the back Of the hotel, the brick floor
innocent Of covering and the bed Of

some timportant papers In his pocket,

The girl placed her hand on his
sleeve. MY fathers life is In his
hands," she said solemnly. HE killed

She looked at him in fear, and then,
as If resolving to trust him, continued :
HE comes Of a good English family,
and-youll hardly believe it-he was
once an officer in the army. He got
into trouble and was dismissed. Then
he settled down In the Colony. And

Five years ago we were living In

little home, and we were happy, and /
thought our troubles were at an end.
Then Mr.. De Witt met father and
forced him to do some crooked work
for him In connection with some of his
mining interests. After that we started
on our travels again.
"We went to Malopo with the first
rush of p~rospectors and stayed there q
