She looked up at me, I could see now. tn the growing dawnlight how her beauty was wrecked; how her eyes had sunk back Into her head, and her copper hair lost its shine; how she had worn herself to a skeleton, and let her clothes fall Into rags There were sores on her arms and neck leech bite sores, blue marks of mosquito bites, deep scratches made by lawyer thorn. Her shoes were bandaged onto her feet Ber hat was a tangle of torn straw. Anger had possession of me, and yet though 1 knew that she had practically wrecked my expedition I could not choose but pity the bright thing, brittle as a butterfly, who had wagered her light self against the terrific powers of the unknown; who, before the threshold was well crossed, lay beaten. Nothing but the slow pace enforced on me by the cutting of a track had kept her with me so far. She must have known this; guessed that her only chance of life was to come forward and show herself, fling herself on my mercy, before it was too late. She had obtained a canoe (as I afterward learned) from the village at Romilly mouth, and persuaded a small crew to accompany her. Living and sleeping on board, she was able to keep her boys with her until she landed at the place where I had debarked a few hours earlier. There they deserted, as carriers will, and she had had no food save what she could carry herself, no shelter save the frost, during the four days of my Journey towards Dreadnought range. Luckily for her. It was Impossible to lose the way, even when she fell behind, since the track we were cutting made our course plain as a macadamized road. I think she went In constant terror; terror of natives, terror of wild beasts, even terror of me ; for she must have guessed, all too soon, that her plan of following me right through was madness, and that 6he would be forced Into showing herself. But I do not think she knew, even suspected, that her coming stamped the expedition Into dust She thought she had merely to placate me, use her woman's tricks. In order to find refuge In my party. She didn't doubt ber ability Jinny had not had much reason to doubt her chance of success, In this or any other test where the weapons of her sex were pitted against man's determination. , But It was not man's determination that barred ber now. It was the Immense, Impersonal might of the untamed wilderness, of Papua. Against this, the finest men of the Nineteenth century, the pick of the Twentieth, had fought, struggled, and most often lost, paying the loss with their lives. Who was the 'little dancer, to break lance In such an army 7 She did not know. She stood up. and came to me, with the red of sunrise on her hair, smoothing her torn shirt and pulling down her tattered breeches, calling to work the smile that had gained a drop of new sweetness from every man who fell victim to it, until now It was a very honey flower wherein the wandering, kissing bee might drown. She knew her work, this Jinny. She made me, In a minute, forget her rags, her stains, her battered weary look, and see her but as I had known her months, weeks ago, on the liner and In Thursday Island. Yet at the same time. I was angry, and sorry for her and for myself. "Jinny, Jinny," I said to her. 'and again "Jinny, Jinny l" It seemed as if I could find no other words. But Jinny was only too eager to red-gol- d , talk. catch"My oath.

"I thought you'd be angry she said, setting the pannikin down upon the ground. I said nothing I took her scarred, burned hand, and began smoothing it gently In mine. Angry! She little knew. The very rage of a 1 had been In my heart, when first I looked down the clearing, saw her sitting there, knew what It meant to me, and knew In the same moment, that she could never, If she lived to be a hundred, understand what she had done. How could one be angry? "Leave go of my hand," she said "There's something you suddenly. aren't telling me, Phil. What Is "Jinny," I said, "there are a great many things you haven't told me, and I propose to know them before very long; but there's plenty of time for all that Plenty of time" I repeated, "for anything either of us wants to tell the other. On the way." "Yes," she said. "The way to the place they call Tatatata," "The way to the mouth of the river, I mean," said L "You're goln' back again!" cried Jinny. "We're going back." "Because of me!" "Because I find it necessary to go." "Phil, Fd have drowned myself rather than If I'd known. Phil dont do it old boy. Let's go on and chance it I'm not afraid of anything. I'll go till I drop dead. Let me, Phil" She was almost crying; she held my sleeve tightly, and shook me. In her eagerness. "Jinny," I said, "we're up against hard facts. You'd drop dead, as you call It before noon today. You "I done well up to this, anyhow. I kept with you, Phil !" "You kept with me because the work hadn't begun. If yon had been an hour five minutes later In findwould ing me, Jinny, the meat-ant- s have been picking your bones tomorrow, maybe before yon were dead. If you came on with us now, we might be able to help yon along" "Yes?" Her eyes glowed with hope. "For a day or so carrying you in a litter where we could, and slinging you up precipices with bushrope like a tied pig . . . That Jinny, would cut our day's work down by a third, maybe a half.

United States Department of Agriculture announces In reporting progress In the study of the cure, prevention, and eradication of this serious disease. Drs. Hubert Bunyea and W. J. Hall have demonstrated the danger of this type of infection In investigations under way for two years at the bureau of animal industry experiment station, Bethseda, Md. Their work was part of a program of study' formulated by the bureau and the National Poultry council. .The committee in charge of these Investigations consisted of Drs. M. Dorset, M. A. Jull, and H. Bunyea, all of the bureau of animal industry. The eggs used In the experiment came from two flocks, one known to have the disease, the other free from It as shown by the agglutination test. Separate trays for the two kinds of eggs were used in the incubators, and the chicks, when hatched, were prevented from coming In contact with those in the other trays. In four different types of Incubators it was found that pullorum disease was transmitted from Infected chicks to normal chicks. The Infection ranged from 45 per cent In the stlll-nl- r type to 81 per cent In the agltated-nt- r type. The control chicks, hatched in separate incubators from eggs obtained from hens, showed less of one per cent Infecthan tion. In all cases the spread of the disease occurred wlthm a period of from 18 to 24 hours after hatching, apparently as a result of air circulation. In no case did any of the chicks from one tray have direct contact with those in another tray. Deaths of healthy chicks exposed to the disease showed that even when the chicks were brooded under the most favorable conditions, a large percentage died within two weeks as a result of the Infection. ... The experiment showed that from the moment it comes out of the shell an - infected chick Immediately becomes a menace to all other chicks In An Infected the same Incubator. chick is also a menace when placed in a brooder with healthy chicks.

The next time you or the children need a laxative, try this famous doctor's prescription which aids the bowels without doing any harm. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, containing pure senna and laxative herbs, is effective in a gentle and helpful way. Its action is thorough, but it never weakens the bowels. It stimulates muscular action and is thus actually good for the system. So remember Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin when coated tongue, fetid breath, headaches, nausea, jaded appetite or biliousness tells the need of a thorough cleansing.
