It was Fatty Guiness who suggested that she might be hungry. In an wonderful treat to your-i instant they were all busy. Some ^1/arld t ' jwere cutting wood. Some were pre-{paring food. All the old cabin was (filled with bustle, half of which was the frantic effort to make the big room ; seem more presentable when Mac-j arthur should bring the girl there. In the meantime, fragments of the conversation between the chief and Joan were repeated, and the work of slicing bacon or brewing coffee, or sweeping out with a heavy pine bough, or kicking soiled clothes and tattered garments into an obscure corner, all ceased while the report was listened to which the last man to bring in wood or water had heard as he went past the couple.

Now Joe Macarthur come to the mountain camp of a bandit gang with a scheme to rob the Wick-son Bank. After much argument he is made a member of the gang. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "But there's only one way, partners," he said, "that Macarthur can fit in with the scheme of things. He can't play number two. Haines was a cleverer and bigger man than any I've ever met. Joe couldn't even play second to him. If Joe is back with us, I say that he's got to be first. He gets what Haines got: two shares in every deal we push through. He gets what Haines got: our obedience whenever he gives an order. How does that sound to you?" It caused an argument, but only _ brief one. In ten minutes, from being a candidate with dubious probability cf being elected, the big fellow installed as chief, had received the grip of every one of the other five,____ had their.solemn promise to follow his orders as if he were a general ar they privates in an army. He lost no time in taking up h duties. At the table where the pok< game had been interrupted by his arrival, he sat down and planned for them the robbery of the Wick; Bank. With little piles of gold pieces he checked off the positions of the houses along the main street. With greater pile he indicated the bank itself. Then he told them what he had done. It was the old story. He had known of the cashier's need for money. He had approached the man diplomatically, and in a single interview he had gained what he wanted--the combination of the safe, the promise that the watchman should be discharged on the day of the robbery, and that a new one should not be hired in his place, and in return for this delivery of his honor, Samuel Carney had received in exchange a promise that he should have fifteen per cent, of the profits, and those profits promised to be large. A full hundred thousand dollars in cash should be gained from the safe of the bank. Such figures made the gang sit up. They glanced at one another wit" bright eyes and then openly compl: mented their new commander. H proceeded with the details. There wa a stretch of thirty miles between them and the town of Wickson, but the trail was entirely, or almost entirely down hill.

'There's only Buck Daniels to miss me. But then, you know, I had to leave him sometime. And why shouldn't it be now?' " It was Lew Cambridge who repeated this choice bit of talk which he had j overheard to and from the pond to I cari"y water, straining, to catch the syllables, ears which had been nicely for hearing--burglary! His report was greeted with a murmur of the pro-foundest interest. "You heard that, boys?" asked big Babe Cooney, his warrior face growing pale with emotion. "You heard that talk? She ain't had a mother and father to look after her. She don't know nothing about the dangers of the world.

Air Advertising Merits Still Is Mooted Question Commission Receives Many Complaints From Radio Listeners on Long Talks Washington. -- Whether the radio station owner, who uses his microphone to sing the praises of merchandise he is selling, serves the public interest still is a moot question with the Federal Radio Commission. The commission from time to time has received numerous complaints from listeners who disapprove of long talks extrolliug the virtues of a particular brand of overalls, seeds, house-for sale Why Hurricanes ? Wind's Destructive Blast Caused by Pumping Force of Central Swirl Washington. -- The birthplace of West Indian hurricanes, such as that which has just devastated Porto Rico and how and' where they blow, are the subjects of a bulletin from the headquarters of the National Geographical Society. "Most of the so-called West Indian hurricanes come into existence the West Indies and the coast of Africa," says the bulletin. "They are probably gentle little eddies of air at first, but gather momentum owing to differences in temperature and air pressure, until they become gigantic whirls sucking air toward their central vortices like gargantuan vacuum cleaners. "The observer in the path of a hurricane can hardly believe that these destructive winds are swirls. He sees the effects of, and feels a straight blast of air moving at great speed, overturning ships, trees and buildings. If he watches long enough he will see this destructive blast almost completely reverse its direction. These winds are created by the pumping force oi the central swirl; and while the centre itself may be moving across the country at the leisurely rate of eight or ten miles an hour the winds rushing inward from all directions to disappear up the 'spout' reach ter-ific speed. The usual maximum speed is 100 miles an hour. The fact that the hurricane at San Juan blew at a rate of 132 and miles an hour stamps this extraordinary violence." came with echoes through the narrow gorge which opened into the hollow, and it was silver tstfin and high: "Que iva la rumba; Qe viva, que viva placer; Que vivan las ninas, chulitas, banitas Y guapas que saben querer."

The "Ring to concede that Bee Travels 3,500 Miles From America by Mail Colonel Lammon on opening, at the Crystal Palace, London, on Sept. 5, the sixth annual exhibition of bees and honey organized by the Kent and Slirrey Beekeepers' Association, London, drew attention to Lady Margaret of Modena, a queen bee which had arrived the day before, alive and well, after making tfce unprecedented journey of 3,500 miles by post frorn America in fourteen days. Colonel Lammon suggested that as soon as communication by air was regularly established between Europe and America it would greatly improve the breeding of bees, as it would form a means of rapid transit bees with little danger to their lives. At the exhibition there had been placed on view over three tons of honey for competition; also bees-wax, vinegar and other liquids and solids made from fconey or with the aid of it. It was claimed by the exhibitors that as a food honey takes a leading place, seven ounces of honey being equal to twelve ounces of beefsteak. Disarmament and Industry London Sunday Times (Cons.): While the victorious nations of the war have been expending huge sums on the upkeep and development of military, naval and air forces, Germany, deprived by/the terms of peace of the right or necessity to do so, has been free to divert the whole of the money and enterprise that would have gone on armaments to the development of her industry and commerce. The result is that she is today--ten years after the war ended-- a thriving nation, able at least to hold her own with any other in Europe. Here is a lesson that must not be lost. In proportion to its extent, disarmament will set free for work of constructive development funds now locked up in weapons oi destruction. Minard's Liniment for Every Pain. Imported Shropshires W. A.
