The chief fought him off for an in-1 slant. with one hand and arm. Then finding himself hampered before the terrific assault of Hernandez, he raised his voice and bellowed —bellowed to his men. In a moment a multitude of beasts swartned through the underbrush—en tered the arena of events. CHAPTER WCII. ONSLAUGHT. On the chiefs part i,t was a horrible, miattake. .In. his momentary, excitement be had thought to etxerminate Hernan dez. - But the cutthroats who bounded into view never even saw Hernandel ' Hernandez was there, abile. alert, ready to defend himself. But they didn't know it. | The only thing they saw was Annette Ilington, clutched in the mighty grasp i of their chief. Like a mob of ravenous t wolves they pounced upon her. The j chief beat them off. He wa'ed his free arm and hand. “Finish this Hernadez." he cried; "beat him to death. Trample him under foot." Hernandes came to his senses. With out standing on the order of his going, he went at once—running blindly towaid safety, if safety could anywhere be found. But temporarily he was safe — for no man followed. The chief poshed his way through his nun and made for the mines. “There are two," he exclaimed, "two. The other runs free upon the beach. Scat ter and find her." Some half dozen of the crew, accus tomed to obedience, scampered off. But not so the rest. Shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh, they struggled on after their chief, holding out their hands to- | ward the trembling girl upon his shoul der. Step by step he fought’ his way. clutching her firmly to him. until he reached the entrance to a cave—his cave. . He stooped to enter. Then broke the storm. Once within that cave .the chief might have held it against all comers—and the cutthroats' knew it. With a collection of wild I oatrs. they sprang forward and dragged the chief violently backwards. He man aged more by Annette's good manage ment than by the chieFs good luck, to drop Annettte just within the mouth of the cave. And then they pounced upon him. ready to tear him lib from limb. “Mine." growled every man in his throat. The chief had told Hernandez that it was the constant working of the mines that had kept his men from killing ; each other. He had been right. There' . was no man there but held a crudge : against some other—and they all held grudges against their chief. With furi ous snarls and oaths each man fought and bit and kicked—each man strug gled to clutch the woman who crouched at the entrance to that cave. • The fight was terrible —the onslaught - waa terrific. on shore Neal and Illington. alarmed at the prolonged absence of Annette, had scattered —Neal scoured the beach in one direction —Illington in another. It must be remembered that so far there was .nothing that indicated to the little party in this sheltered cove that the island was inhabited— or that there was danger to. avoid. x Neal bounded like a deer along the’ beach, his glance, alert, nervous, travel-' ing hither and thither, leaving nothing unseen. Finally he stopped short. A ragged form lay directly in his path—a man of rags find patches—of matted beard and hair. He was breath ing heavily. He had been shot, wound ed in the thigh.

He j attempted to rise to his feet. Neal assisted him. The man, his eyes wild, pointed up the shore, started to stag ger on. then fell once more senseless to the ground. And Neal sped on. AU last he found her —Inez, crouching behind a rock. Inez, panting with fear. ! leaped into his arms. He cast her off— for he did not understand. "Annette." she cried, "they've got her —there —that way—that way." Neal pointed down the shore. "Run there lies safety." he commanded. He watched her while she darted warily along the beach. Then he plunged into the brush and made his way inland. Annette, numb with fear, lay quiver ing just within the mouth of the cave. Rehind her was the dark—the unknown. She was too terror-stricken to move. ' But she was quick-witted and she saw 'and understood —that this terrific ' fight was helping her. She collected her self—she began to plan. Inch by inch she crept farther into the darkness. Without, the storm raged. Instead of a ; fight for a woman's sake, it had become a fight fight's sake. For the pres ent Annette was ignored. She well knew I that to the victors would belong the spoils—but they were fighting for vic i tory first. And she made up her mind. When the fight was at its hottest the chief lunged far out in the midst of it and left the cave's mouth temporarily uncovered. Like a flash Annette wrig gled out of Mie cave and slunk swiftly toward the underbrush. She reached it, when a figure blocked her path. It was Neal. With a wild cry she tlung herself into his arms. But Neal repulsed her for an instant, and with aforethought. Almost brutally he flung her behind him. and unshipped his navy gun For action was at hand One man ami only one had seen An nette crawl from the cave’s mouth and that man was the pirate chief. As soon as he could disentangle himself, he was away and after her. And here he came, tearing through the under growth with savage bounds. Neal fired thrice—hit once—missed 1 twice —and then the cutthroat was up on him. Neal flung his gun full on the , lace of the oncoming man—and then ' they clinched. Annette, unnerved completely, sank moaning in the underbrush. Ilington from the shore, heard the I shots. He looked upward and saw. peering down at him from an eminence, the face of his arch enemy, Her nandez.' _• He shook a massive first al the face, and the face disappeared. Ilington hastened back to the tem porary camp and found that the lieu tenant and his men were making ready for a run. Already they had signaled the Missouri for another detail—already they had arranged a guard for Mrs. Hardin whom they were leaving on the beach with Inez crouching at her feet. "Come on. loot," cried Ilington. leap ing into the undergrowth, "I’m ready for a fight. I saw a head just now, and I'm going to hit it hard." Neal fought with fury, but his fight was futile. So, be it said, was the fight of the pirate chief. For Neal's shots had brought the other beats swarming like human hornets about their heads. Annette's temporary escape had been discovered —they had been cheated—vengeance was their due. They pounced upon Neal and their chief like harpies—once more pandemonium reign ed. Annette crouched unseen—horror stricken. Suddenly she shrieked aioud—for Neal had disappeared beneath a mass of men*—. * She shrieked and ran like wild for the •shore—for succor. - There was no fight An -ber—ehe <-was beaten by fear. That Ataigfc. was. fortunate for Neal. His as jsaikpts. left him and *darted after her— scurrying like wild dogs through the prjush. ■ Anti’then—crack —crack—crack—. The bark of a dozen navy rifles. A dozen men plunged headlong. A bullet grazed Neal's shoulder, for he too was running with the pirates. But he never felt it. With a wild cry of joy he hurled himself past his confounded enemies and joined Ilington and his own men .dinette rushed Into her father's arm's. The blood rushed back into her heart. She loaded her automatic and, • with a ' herce joy in her heart, took aim and flieu. and aimed and fired again. It wag a bad fight—a desperate fight Neal's men were outnumbered. Only their coolness prevented destruction Their opponents, reckless desperadoes aa j they were, had no ammunition—it waa ; their game to clinch—and clinch they 'did. They were fighters pure and sim , pie—that was tjieir business—they ■ fought with teeth—they broke bones— I they twisted tendons with savage glee And victory meant —woman. Meantime a solitary figure slunk through the brush and crept past all the fighters. This was Hernandez. Iling i ton, during a lull, saw him pass, but knew not where he went. Hernande: knew. He was still hoping against hope —he still lusted blindly after treasure. He reached the ‘edge of the artificial crater and crept down a ladder and plunged his hands—his arms, into the living quicksilver—he tossed it into the i air. ‘'They've never beaten me yet," he ; cried, "this is mine—all mine." He started suddenly. Across the pit there was a lull. And then the deadly i crack—crack—crack of rifles. "Re-enforcements," he muttered. He was right. One boatload of ma j rines had reached the shore In another launch, had plunged through the thicket and had reached the conflict just in the j nick of time. The firing lasted for some fifteen minutes —its regularity betokened its deadly effect. Time and again the air was rent with piercing yells as some bullet found its victim.* Then silence—ominous—portentous. And then a wild yell of victory—a. yell from the throats of the marines. The fight was over—the fight was won. (Continued in Next Issue.) America Gave $7,500,000 for Belgian Relief NEW YORK.

CANDLE*. Recent official journeys have carried inc into West Texas, New Mexico, Ari zona and several points on the north west border of Xlexico, and 1 have ob served many Interesting things. People who live east of the Mississip pi, and who seldom travel in the west, fail to appreciate adequately. the ex tent of this vast domain and significance •f what is going on in it. The time is near at hand when the states west of the- Mississippi will have enough votes in the electoral college to determine who shall and who shall not be the president of the United States. Already western theories of government and western economical policies are af fecting very .much the federal govern ment. Western crops anil western cattle con trol the price of both bread and meat in our country. The nation, to a great degree, is in the hands of the west. Hence what concerns these western commonwealths vitally concerns us all. Observations on men and things in these stales ought to be of interest*to all thoughtful people. Therefore, in my Journeyings in the west, I have tried to keep open eyes and a fair mind for their consideration. And be it said -that all western matters are open and fully ex posed to view. Even the wide plains have something about them which might be called topographic candor, and the high mountains refuse the disguise of trees and verdure. Everything stands out before one in naked sincerity, and the openness of the natural world im parts a certain rugged frankness to the people. Looking out on these widely extended plaips one sees everywhere evidences that farming is encroaching upon the cattle ranges, and that the flocks and herds grazing on them are by no means so numerous or so large as they were in former days. Grain crops are now grow ing where formerly numberless cows and sheep were fed and fattened. Hence there has been a great decrease in the amount of meat In th^United States, and a proportionate increase in price. Sta tistics confirm what casual observation discerns. In 1900 there were 61,000,000 sheep in the United States (mostly in the west) and the population of our country was 15,000,000. In 1915 there were 49,000,000 sheep and a population of over 00,000,- 000. Or, in other words, our eheep have decreased about 19 per cent, while our people have increased about 33 1-2 per cent. Beef cattle also have decreased. We need not charge the "beef trust" and the packing houses with raising the price of meat. Doubtless the owners of packing houses have tried to make all the money they could, for most men do the same? But it is perfectly plain that when the meat supply has decreased nearly 20 per cent and the people who want meat have increased over 30 per cent, the rise in price of meat has been natural and inevitable. If we are to have ever again cheaper meat, cows, sheep, and hogs must be raised to a greatei* or less degree on ev ery farm in the land. Certainly the country can not hope to obtain from the west the supply of meat which came from there some years ago. Brooks County, Georgia, has solved the meat problem by raising hogs. Another conspicuous fact In the west which cannot escape the attention of the most casual observer is the interest of the people in education. The cities and towns (even the smaller municipalities) have the finest school buildings. The schools are housed in structures upon the erection of which has been bestowed both architectural ability and generous appropriations. For example, in the part of Nogales, Ariz., which is in the United States (half the town is in the United States and half in Mexico) there is a high schood which is more impos ing and costly than the Boys* High school in Atlanta. The population on the American side does not exceed 3,500. And the case of the high school in Nogales is not exceptional. But the church buildings are very, very small, and they are large enough for the con gregations which usually worship in them. The west is more concerned for edu cation than for religion. In this fact is a peril to the western people and to the whole country. Intellectual culture alone is not sufficient to save any peo ple from self-destruction. "Knowledge is power," and education increases pow er; but the power which it imparts may be good power or bad power, and power operating under wrong motives is al ways perilous. Men need conscience to direct culture; and religion alone can assure a reliable conscience. Where knowledge outruns piety social decay and political disorder are always found. The republics of Greece fell* when their people were most enlightened and the Roman commonwealth ' perished when the Romans were most cultured. Edu cation to be socially useful and person ally purifying must be profoundly re ligious. It is no good sign of future peace and prosperity in the west that the school houses are big and the churches small, that education outranks religion tn the esteem of the western people. It is surprising, however, to note the progress of temperance and prohibition in the west. Arizona has adopted state wide prohibition, and I was told on all hands that prohibition had come to stay. In the bordering states of Chi huahua and in Mexico, General Carranza has closed all the saloons, and it is rumored that he is determined to extend prohibition throughout the en tire republic of Mexico. There is a growing sentiment in both New Mexico and Callifornia in favor of prohibition. But let no one suppose that the cause of prohibition is advancing in the west primarily or chiefly as a religious move ment. The forces back of it are not so much moral forces as they are economic forces. The commercial world has turn ed against the saloon. The railroads, trolley lines, insurance companies, and all industrial corporations are demand ing temperance and prohibition; and the political world follows the lead of the commercial. Soon it will come to pass that the people will demand for public officers the 9ame thing that private corpora tions now require of their employes. If a railway will not have a brakeman, or a engineer who drinks, a city, for the same reason, will refuse to have a drinkin? policeman or an intemper ate. mayor. Drunken legislators and governors will not be tolerated a few years hence. And why should civil gov ernment employ men whom no well managed corporation would engage for a moment? For the delicate duties of public service the people have a right to as good men as any private corpora tion claims for its service, and the peo ple will assert this right. The saloon is doomed. -Nothing can save it and all concerned may as well now, as later, note this fact, and govern themselves accordingly. The commercial world has settled this matter. Com merce will constrain men to be sober, if they will not be saints. Editor Burbank Dead OAKLAND. Cal.. Feb. 20.—William F. Burbank, founder of the Lost Angeles Record, and the. owner of two South Carolina publications, died at a hospital here today after a brief illness. He was flfty-flve years old. HOME Conduced tty GEORGIA CITIES AND NUMBER OF COUNTIES. While We have more than one hundred anu fifty counties we have few large cities. Alabama has fifty counties and I presume has quite as many large cities. Atlanta has the largest popula tion—nearly 155,000. Savannah has the next largest, nearly 65,000; Augusta conies next with 41,040. with Macon a close second at 40,665. Columbus is next with 20,454 and Athens has nearly 15,000. Americus has 8,063 and Rome has 12,000; Valdosta 7.656; CordeUe 5,833- Thomasville has 6,727, Gainesville 5,925. Dalton 5,224. With this list you have all that can count over 5,000 inhabi tants. The list above 4,000 is small Bainbridge and Cartersville have a few over that number. (Marietta has nearly six thousand), .but the great majority are small towns and many of them grew slowly. We have entirely too many counties and too many small towns. Our legisla tures are very unwieldly bodies. The last one was what you might call a caution. Every county (no matter how small) has one representative and in its turn gets a senator. Alabama with fifty counties has fewer and does very well indeed with far less expense to the taxpayers. The craze for new counties in Georgia is something to be dreaded and to be curbed. The time that is wasted over contesting counties is posi tively fearful and the expense beyond measure. Os course the excitement grows out of political offices that come along with the advent of a new county and it is surprising that a state with so much intelligence as Georgia, should allow Itself engineered into a mobocrocy as lias happened in this new county craze, simply to fix up offices for greedy political aspirants. When you take the trouble to count up the state and county officials in Georgia, it brings to you staggering figures in a sum total. CAN YOU GIVE DESIRED INFORMA- TION? ' Felton, Ga., Jan. 31, 1916.

Boys lapping soup from sloppy tables; children scarred by whippings; filth that made rooms resemble pig-pens, boys and girls weak and anaemic from lack of nourishment; shower baths used only as punishment; little girls doing the work of women, are conditions be ing described daily by Deputy Charities Commissioner William J. Doherty be fore a commission appointed by Gov ernor vVhltman ts investigate charges against various institutions. Doherty testified that in an orphan asylum in West 259th street, the beds were springless, encrusted with dirt and covered with hard, thin pads and dirty linen. Doherty said that in a certain mission on Staten Island he found the play hall and dining room disgustingly filthy, that food was served in greasy pails by boys who had not washed their hands, and that dinner was stew, stew, stew. For 200 boys there was one soap dish and not a single tooth brush, he testi fied. and in the girls’ department there were 54 children with >ermin on their heads. The plight of many children at a Yonkers institution was described «as most pitiful. A physician stated better physical types of children could usual ly be found at a tuberculosis hospital. Doherty testified that following his visit to the institution he received a letter saying some of the children had been hidden away in a closet because blood had been drawn from them by a whipping strap. Actress Tells Secret A Well Known Actress Tells How She Darkened Her Gray Hair and Fro moted Its Growth With a Simple Homemade Mixture. Miss Blanche Rose a well-known ac tress, who darkened her gray hair with h simple preparation which she mixed at home in a recent interview at Chicago, 111., made the following statement: “Any lady or gentleman can darken their gray hair and make a soft and glossy with this simple recipe which they can mix at home. To a half pint of water add I oz. of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound, and 1-4 oz. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a w-eek until it becomes the required shade. This will make a gray haired person look 20 years younger. It Is also fine to proniote the growth of hair, relieves itching and scalp humors and is excel lent for dandruff and falling hair.” (Advt.)

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—While sensa tional disclosures are being made re garding treatment of cnlldren in Insti tutions New York is buying SIOO dolls and SSOO bird cages. But SSOO to house a bird in a gilded cage when poor orphans are suffering was outdone when F. P. Avery, of New York, paid $2,600 for a kennel for a dog. The kennel, auctioned at the American art galleries with the dolls, bird cages and other Items in the Yamanaka collec tion, is a brass structure on four wheels, all ornamented with cloisonne enamel picturing dragons among the clouds, in turquoise-blue, white, vermilion and yel low on a deep lapis-blue ground. The roof is of gilded rods, arching to a bell-shaped dome in champleve enamel. The kennel is of the Ch’ien-lung dy nasty, according to an inscription. The dog can drink fYom a. Ch’ien-lung water or milk dish inscribed with the seal of the reign, and can eat from a feed-tub of the same period. For the dog and his kennel there Is a night covering of blue silk embroider ed in gold thread with peonies, pome granates and peaches. The children in a colored orphan asy lum in New York City sleep on.spring less beds with a covering of dirty linen. Two other kennels in the Yamanaka collection also brought fancy prices. One, an antique red lacqtler affair, was provided with a Chinese silk brocade quilted mat. Japanese dolls auctioned were costum ed in tne richest silks and brocades.
