His head lolled about his shoulders.
His tongue thickened his words.
Don Jose, not quite drunk, watched
him with glittering eyes. Money!
He left abruptly after paying for the
drinks. Pedro fingered while and
then went home.
At dawn Pedro walked over to
the farm. Don Jose had made
neat job of it. The grave was filled
almost to the top. Even the scaffold-
ing, lying broken on the upper ground,
had the careless, unintentional look
of innocence. Hunming softly Pedro
walked the 4 miles back TO the
market.
But Manzanita was not silenced.
The strange disappearance of Don
Jose had not convinced her of Pedro's
worthiness.

she announced.
T Asst week-Don Jose! Now-Esqui-
lano! Grimly, Pedro sketched
his future. A second grave was dug.

irony, he filled a pot with the gold

readiness.
The third night Pedro found Esqui-
lano in cantina. Between drinks
and sobs, he revealed the secret hiding
place of his gold. Smiling slyly to
himself, he watched the young man
hurry away.
But Esquilano was a skeptical
man. Even when he caught the CLINT
of gold in the grave below him, he
deHberated. He remembered the
strange disappearance Of Don Jose.
Looking up. he seemed to see the
full moon bisected in two. He drew
nearer. Then he saw the string.
Drawing out his knife, he cautiously
went to work.
PED7O did not 60 to the farm the
next morning. He would wait q
few days, he decided.
That night he went to visit Man
zanita. It was later than usual, but
Manzanita's 'dobe was lighted.
Olancho met him at the door.
"You. tool" chuckled Olancho.
TOO! What you mean?"
"ESquilano is ahead of you."
"Esquilano! Here!"
why shouldn't he be?" LAUGHED
Olancho, maliciously. "Manzanita's
marrying him tonight. The gold did
it. Never had she seen so much gold
at once"
Pedro scarcely stopped running
until he reached the grave. The
scaffold was still standing. Esquilano
had escaped them then! But how had
he gotten the gold?
Pedro jumped down into the grave.
The moon, later that night, could
not reveal the string Esquilano had
cunningly fastened together again.
Nor could it show Pedro that the pot
was empty. In a wild fury he snatched
1t up. A great heap of stones and
dirt crushed him down to the ground.
"ManZanita!" he cried.
But Manzanita was busy counting
gold coins.

If Mrs. Hudson had not come to

took on sharper angles.
Mrs. Hudson stopped and watched
him. Something about his intent

went on, she had ordered 10 pots
to be made for her. Pedro left the
market and rushed to Manzanita to
tell her the news.

This Home.Mixed
Cough Remedy is
Most Effective
Easily Mixed. Needs No Cooking.

Cough medicines usually contain a
large quantity of sugar syrup-a good
ingredient, but one which you can cas-
lily make at home. Take 2 cups Of gran
ulated sugar and cup Of water, and
stir few moments until dissolved. No
cooking! No trouble at all.
Then get from your druggist 2h
ounces of Pinex, pour it into a pint
bottle, and add your syrup. This gives
you full pint Of truly wonderful med
icine for coughs due to colds. Il is far
better than anything you could buy
ready-made, and you get four times as
much for your money. It lasts a long
time, never spoils, and children love it.
This is positively the most effective,
quick-acting cough remedy that money
could buy. Instantly, you feel it pene-
trating the air passages. 1t loosens the
phlegm, soothes the infamed membranes
and makes breathing easy. You've never
seen its equal for prompt and pleasing
results.
Pinex is a concentrated compound of
Norway Pine, the most reliable sooth-
ing agent for throat and bronchial a
membranes. Money refunded if it n
doesn't please you in every way. ~

Wednesday, October IA, 1886, as the
day for laying the cornerstone of the

mite plans have not yet been worked
out, it is understood there will be
some distinguished guests from Cap

gram. Senators Tydings and Rad

have been invited to be present, and
inasmuch as the construction of this
building has been made possible thru
the Public Works Administration, re-
quest is being made that some official
of that department of the Government
(perhaps Secretary Ickes) be detailed
to Pocomoke to make an address.
This should be big day for POGO

citizens generally will cooperate to
make the OCCASION huge success.

DEMOCRATIC VETERANS
TO MEET OCTOBER FIFTH

In the Court House at Snow Hill
on Monday evening, October 5, there
will be meeting which is of vital
interest to all veterans of the various
wars in which the United States has
been involved.
This meeting is open to all Demo-
cratic veterans, whether affiliated
with Veterans Organization or not,
and it is the desire of those spon-
soring this meeting that every man
who has worn a uniform attend.
Mr.. Robert Archer, a former State
Commander of one Of the Veterans
Organizations will be present and
will make an address on subject of
vital interest to all veterans.
Much activity is developing a.
mongst the opposition, which seems
to be making attempts to catch the
Veteran vote under the guise of new
organizations.
In view of the wonderful coopera-
ton of President Roosevelt and Con-
gresham Goldsborough on all mat
tiers concerning veteran interest, a
rally to their support should be the
prime object of all veteran organiza-
tionS.
