x icn you, mac," said the doctor
hoarsely, "she Is overloaded; Ha?"
MacHes broke away from the de-
taining hand.
"Shut your mouth," he replied
roughly. "Dinna sail wi' me if ye
ha' doubts."
But the Austrian physician was
not without supporters. Len Chow,
second-in-command of the U-boat,
stood by him. "I agree with the
doctor," he said in his monotonous
tones, "that only two tons should
be shipped."
"Go to h—I!" He brushed Len
Chow aside and passed on.
An Arab boy came running. A
launch from the gunboat was head-
ing for the jetty. . . .
"There goes the last five thou-
sand," said the Wasp; and, raising
his voice: "All aboard!" he-cried.
"Do ye sail?" Maclles asked
Doctor Oestler. The Austrian
thought: "Money opens many doors,
ha? There was no escape if he re-
mained ashore. The Marquis and
the Pasha plainly had deserted the
sinking ship, and the danger must
have been great, ha?—since they
had left two millions of minted
money behind them?'1
Doctor Oestler nodded briefly and
walked up the gangway, followed
by Maclles and Len Chow. They
slipped out to the open sea. Oest- J
ler, from the forward conning tow
er, saw the threatening gray lines
of H. M. S. Panther lying half a
mile outside the reef. Len Chow
gave the order to submerge. Only
through the periscope did that doom
ful shape remain visible.
- They sank lower. Doctor Oest-
ler ran down a cramped iron lad-
der. He stumbled, and clutched.
"They can nevei" see the peri-
scope!" he cried. "Why do we sub-
merge so deep?" ...
The whole fabric of the under-
water craft shook suddenly and
quivered.
"Mac!" Oestler screamed, des-
perately—"Chow! Gott! . . . We're
aground!" The Scotsman stopped his
engines.
Other voices came, dimly at first
—thea raised to shouting pitch.
"Doctor Oestler," said Maclles,
"Mr. Len Chow—ye were right in
a' ye saM! We're overloaded.
There's five fathoms between us and
God's sunshine, and no human pow-
er can raise us to it We're buried
under the mea, wi' two million
pounds an' onr sins!"
The iron-framed doorway was
crowded with ghastly faces. Mac-
lies sprang to his feet, dropped to
his knees, and raised lis head and
his locked hani s.
"0 Lord!" he cried, "for this one
wee deed In a srhful life—spare me
a grain o' merc^!"
*******
The Inhabitant*1 of that nameless
town dominated by the palace of
Yu'an Hee See, willing servants of
the master on the hill, had flown
at the moment that the battleship
had showed her nese over the ho-
rizon.
The palace surpassed anything
which Lieutenant Markham had
seen or imagined. The female in-1
habitants, huddled In cushioned cor-
ners, were staring wide-eyed at
the Intruders.
Lieutenant Markham pressed on
through more and more extrava-
gant apartments . . . and suddenly
found muscular arms about his
neck and tearful dark eyes Pok-
ing up into his own!
"Oh, thank God, I see you!" cried
Celeste. "But tell me quickly—is
she safe? Is she safe?--the little
girt—Eileen—who was he?"e!"
"She means Miss Kearney, sir,'*
said one of the party. "The Ameri-
•can lady who disappeared In Port
Said."
Lieutenant Markham, looking into
the quivering face, suddenly un-
derstood. "I am sorry," he said,
"truly sorry. But I have no news
of her. But, I think—" as the
woman's passive figure seemed to
become limp—"she Is safe."
"One of the right sort, sir," salrl
the former speaker. "She could give
us a few tips."
"I can give you no tips, my
friend," Celeste replied sorrowfully.
"A1J I know is what happened in-
Bide these walls." She waved elo-
quent haada. "But In that room
there—" nhe pointed dramatically
to a narrow door paneled In dull
fold—''In that room there, this
morning, something happened. . . .
1 think—a good thing."
When the locked door was broken
down a horrified group stood on
the threshold of a room entirely
paneled In gold lacquer. Lying
across a divan covered with black
cushions, delicate Ivory body gleam-
ing through the fine texture of a
silken robe, lay Orange Blossom—
kAr downward hnnsr head ffhaatlT h«.
cause oi uie diooo wnicn had
drenched It.
"Great G—d, sir!" came a hoarse
whisper. "Some wild animal has
been at her—look at her throat!"
"Darling!" Dawson Haig whis-
pered. "Oh, my darling! Thank
God!" Eileen opened her blue eyes
and looked up at him—wondering.
Then, with a slow smile, she twined
her arms about his neck and drew
his head down to her breast.
Dawson Haig held her tightly. He
had done much and gained much.
At last, he had justified his quixotic
choice of a profession. He had
fashioned a stepping stone, he knew
It whioh would oarrv him from thp
criminal mvesugauuii uepanment
of New Scotland Yard to the goal
of his ambition. He had been in-
strumental In breaking up a for-
midable organization, a danger to
the civilized world. . . .
Keneh was being combed. Air
force pilots were watching all roads
to the Red sea. The camel corps
were at Bir Ambar. And the secret
base was in the hands of the navy.
"What is it, my dearest?" Eileen
whispered.
He stroked her thick waves of
coppery hair. "Nothing, darling,"
he replied.
But, save for one glimpse in Lon-
don, he had never yet come within
reach of the Thing which tore hu-
man throats . . . and, somewhere
deep down in his mind, he seemed
to hear the high, batlike laughter
•f Yu'an Hee See. ""
» [THE END.]
From Brown County conies re-
ports that soil conservation work
work was carried on affecting 417
acres on 11 farms in December.
Road machinery built terraces 24
feet wide and IV2 feet high on 8
farms at a cost of $1.57 per acre.
A tour was aranged on which 83
farmers and 4-H Club Boys visited
four of these soil conservation de-
monstrations.
In Comanche County there is a
207 acre pasture demonstration
which has been in progress eight
years, during which underbrush
and weeds have been removed. A
profit of $10 per acre from this
pasture in 1935 was found after
totaling the receipts from cattle,
hogs, turkeys and pecans and de-
't ducting the cost of maintaining
' the pasture.

Getting the True Perspective
On Your Job
A 4-H Club boy of Mills County
produced 210 pounds of lint per
! acre on his 5 acre cotton demon-
| tration* The average for his
community in 1935 was 1?0 lbs.
of lint per acre.
Six terracing demonstrations to-
taling 110 acres were given in De-
cember in Palo Pinto county. Three
of the terraced fields will be plant
ed to orchards.
In Runnels County 4-H Club
boys are feeding 20 beef calves,
32 lambs and 17 pigs for the
March livestock shows. There are
150 club boys enrolled for 1930.
Even a small flock of' hens is
worth keeping, according to Neil
Petersen of the Cypress communi-
ty in Franklin County.
"My 55 White leghorns hens
made enough profit during three
months of the year to feed them-
selves, 45 baby chicks, two mules
and the four members-of my fami-
ly", he reported to W. N. William-
son, County Agricultural Agent.
"I hope to have 100 producing hens
next year", he added.
17DUCATORS and business men
of long experience have esti-
mated that it takes anywhere from
two to ten years for the high school
or college graduate to adjust him-
self to the business world. The more
you can shorten this period of ad-
justment, the greater and quicker
will be your success.
Much of the difficulty of adjust-
ment undoubtedly comes from the
beginner's inability to see in its true
perspective both his own job and
the business he is in. As a result
he may soon become convinced that
the business is dull and without op-
portunities, and his own job mere
routine drudgery. Such an impres-
sion becomes an almost unsurmount-
able obstacle to success.
Try to see beyond the routine of
y<mr job to the essential part it
plays in the functioning of the bus-
iness. At the same time, by spare
time reading and study of business
subjects, seek to acquire a true pic-
ture of the part the business plays
in the economic structure. Once you
have succeeded in this, your own
work will acquire a new interest
and the opportunities your business
offers will become apparent.
No matter how great your intel-
ligence or your willingness to work,
interest in and enthusiasm for your
work are vital to success. Such in-
terest and enthusiasm must come
through knowledge and understand-
ing. These come to few by instinct
or as a gift from heaven. They are
acquired through the extra study'
and thinking a man is willing to
devote to his job.

Cuero—More than 2,370 acres
of land were terraced on 58 De
Witt county farms during 1935, ac-
cording to J. A. Oswald, County
Agricultural Agent. Using the
conservative figure of $8 per acre,
the terraces constructed during the
year are worth $18,960 to the
farmers who did the terracing,
Oswald estimates. Since 1929, more
than 400 farmers in the county
have terraced 16,759 acres.
At present, 246 requests are on
file in the agent's office for as-
sistance in running terrace lines
on approximately 20,000 acres of
crop land. Through the efforts of
the county farm demonstration
council the commissioner's court
has agreed to build terraces for
the farmers at actual cost of ope-
ration of the road machinery. Re-
quests for this service are so num-
erous that each applicant is limit-
ed to two days work with the me-
chinery.
Bastrop—From 103 chicks pur-
chased from a hatchery on Oct.,
8, Wyona Schultz, Bastrop County
4-H Club Girl, raised the whole
number to frying size, according
to Miss Audette McDonald, home
demonstration agent. These fryers
weie ready for the Christmas
markf t.
Wynona attributes her success
in raising poultry to the fact that
she buys strong, healthy chicks,
feeds them properly, keeps houses
and feeding utensils clean and
gives the chicks regular care.

Wallace Fixes
Feb. 15 For New-
Farm Program
Washington, Jan. 18.—Secretary
Wallace fixed February 15 Satur-
day as the date when the adminis-
tration's new farm program would
become effective to apply to crops
grown in 1936.
Senate * leaders saw a channel
for speedy action on a successor
to AAA in the possibility of at-
taching legislation to the indepen-
dent offices appropriation bill,
passed by the House Friday.
"Congressional Function"
In his first press conference
since AAA was invalidated, Wal-
lace said preparation of legisla-
tion was a "congressional func-
tion," but he added:
"The important thing is to ex-
pand the definition of the soil con-
servation act to include specifi-
cally soil conservation and preser-
vation of fertility and not merely
erosion control."
Administration leaders have
said "that the soil conservation act
would be a basis for a new pro-
gram calling for cash payments to
farmers. They hoped to obtain au-
thorization through amendments
rather than new laws.
"Grave Concern" Seen
Wallace said be believed the
people of the United States would
be "gravely concerned" over ef-
forts of processing taxes paid the
treasury. Both the $1,000,000 col-
lected and the $200,000,000 im-
pounded by court action, he said,
should be held in the same status.
Public opinion, he added, "would
not tolerate" refund of these taxes
which he asserted have been pass-
ed on to the consumer by proces-
sing firms. The Supreme Court's
decision in a rice miller's case has
been interpreted as requiring the
return of the $200,000,000.
Declaring that Congress has not
asked the AAA for any estimate
of cost of the new program, the
secretary declined to speculate on
this phase. Unofficial estimates
have placed this cost at between
$300,000,000 and $600,000,000.
Survey Pointed Out
.Wallace called attention to a sur-
vey made by department experts
which classed 35,000,000 acres
planted in corn, cotton and wheat
as "C" and "D ' slopes, which he
explained should be planted only
in grass and trees.
Experts classifying land as to
the degree of slope and the danger
of erosion say that "A" and "B"
slopes can be cultivated with ero-
sion controlled.
The Agriculture Secretary re-
iterated his contention that the
long-time solution for agricultural
problems must include building up
foreign purchasing power and in-
sisted that at present there is no
market for the products of about
50,000,000 acres of the nation's
commercial crop land.
Corn Loan Cut Due
He warned that the amount of
com loans from the 1935 crops,
now 45 cents per bushel, probably
will be reduced. Wallace said that

Many a Friend Recommends
BLACK-DRAUGHT
People who have taken
Black-Draught naturally are
enthusiastic about It because
of the refreshing relief it has
brought them. No wonder
they urge others to try it!
Mrs. Joe Q. Roberts, of Portersville,
Ala., writes: "A friend recommended
Black-Draught to me a long time
ago, and it haa proved its worth to
me. Black-Draught la good for
constipation. I find that taking
Black-Draught prevents the bilious
headaches which I use4 to have." ...
A purely vegetable medicine for the
relief of
constipation, biliousness
lace said the agency's personnel
probably would deal with soil con-
servation and soil fertility phases
of the new program and the soil
conservation service would concen-
trate on erosion control. ,
Wallace said tenancy and land
speclation problems should be in-
cluded in a permanent farm pro-
gram..
