"I don't believe in bubbles:" cried
Pauline Fane pettishly,
"Yost would believe 1n this one if
you had Ueld ,1I311 and tell the sto-
ry," protested Delmore earnestly, "OP
course 1 don't went to undertake 8110
an expedition without your approval,.
but, dear, it would make our future
very happy and care free If 1 could dis-
cover that great diamond called 'the
Bubble.'"
Pauline leughed at her lover's ear-
nestness.
"Nonsense, Dick." she replied scorn-
fully. "If you must go you must.
But you will take with you my utter
disbelief in the project and lay disap•
proval of your risking what little mon-
ey you have in such a hazardous un-
dertaking. So there!"
Dick flushed painfully. }Ie was look-
ing thin and careworn as the result or
n long illness; from which he had re-
covered to find that 11e had lost his po-
sition as sales manager for a man with
some influence and considerable money
with which to invest in the company's
stock.
"The voyage down there will brace
me up again," argued Dick for the
twentieth time.
"Oh, you can take the voyage just
the same, only don't risk your money
on that insane venture," said Paulfae.
"And if I decide to do that?" asked
Dick quietly.
Pauline slowly drew Dick's ring
from her finger.
"You will have this for a reminder of
me," she said cruelly.
Dick slipped the ring into his pocket
and turned away.
"And if I really discover the Bub-
ble?" he asked dryly.
"Then I91 believe your story," smiled
Pauline, rather uneasily, "If you bring

"In the meantime our ellgagetneut is
broken because yogi (10 not approve of
my going?" risked Pick wonderingly.
"Yes," she replied in a bored planner.
Dick bade her a very formal farewell
and went away. IIe did not offer to
replace the ring on her finger, and aft-
er he had departed Pauline cried a
little in her lace handkerchief, and
then, because she was rather a spoiled
child, she decided to forget about Dick.
Dick felt n strange sense of freedotn

One May morning Dick found him,

ring with the binclt man named Meta -
Ile dill not tell Maturin about the
diamond, Ile merely told (tint that he
was going to the cocoanut island to
search for "hidden treasure" and Ma-
turin had laughed good natured!), and
told hint that "plenty white mans like
faun that a -way, sub!"
Bet altitude was ready' to set out in
Ills .•,rtly little boat, and, with a plen-
tiful supply of provisions and water,
they sailed atnoug the green islands,
set like jewels in the deep blpe waters,
anti: on the second morning after their
departure they came upon the group of
cocoanut palms, apparently: rising out
of the sea.
'i'itere was no other island in sight.
On every side stretchedthe limitless
ocean.
"This must be the Island, boss," said
elaturin as he beached the boat upon
the scrap of sand under the trees of
the islatal.
"We can soots find Out, Maturin,"
said Dick as he titl'eve himself down
under the shade of the palms and wait-
ed while the man prepared an appe-
tizing meal.
By the time tbey had concluded their
dinner the tide had begun to fell. Lit-
tle by little a shelving, pebbly beach
was nnc0vered until at last the reced
Ing waters bared the sandy bottom of
the cove. Finally the tide went out
beyond the entrance and at ebb lapped
the teeth of the coral reef,
"Now!" exclaimed Dick, who bad
been impatiently waiting for this mo-
ment to arrive.
He drew on a pair of flip boots or
rubber, provided himself with pick and
shovel, and, under the wondering, half
amused gaze of the black, Dick Del-
more went to seek the Bubble of which
he had come in search.
Ile carefully made the required.
measurements, and when he believed
he had located the exact spot indicated
on the little snap which Jim Hard bad
placed in his hand at the last moment
Dick thrust his shovel in the wet sand
and worked steadily. •
Suddenly the blade of the shovel
clinked against metal.
In a few seconds' he had uncovered
the rusty link of a ship's anchor chain.
It gave frim a clew, and he changed
the direction of his delving. In half
en hour he had exposed three feet of
chain, the sham, and one fluke of a
small anchor. In the mass of links
where the chain caught the shank was
embedded a large quantity of shellfish
—that was all.
Or wan it all?
!)ick tore at the incrnsteii mass and
finally dislodged a small iron box,
which he promptly dropped into his
pocket. Then he flung aside the chain
and anchor, picked up his pick and
shovel and left the core.
\tuturin was nodding drowsily, and
he smiled comiuiserntingly upon his
employer as he threw himself down
on the island to rest.
"\Lassa Hess no find treasure?" ho
asked pityingly.
"Go and se.e!" replied Dick tersely,
for he wanted a moment alone with
the iron box.
Dick Delmore returned to the shade
of tate palms, pulled the iron box from
his pocket, broke its rusty lock with a
blow from ilia shovel and found within
It a smaller box of coral. This coral
box when opened disclosed something
hard and round wrapped in oiled silk.
For a long time Dick sat there gaz-
ing at the treasure which lay in his1137103.
The Bubble was indeed a fact. It
was his: Jim Hard had spoken truly—
and Jim's mother would live in luxury
the rest of her days. Dick hid the
great round diamond, which gave back
a myriad catered lights, and fell to
thinking of Pauline. When she bad
so distrusted hitt how could he go
back and offer her his riches? 1f she
had only proved herself to be the pure
gold lie bad believed her to be, for he
still loved her:
So Dick Delmore was not entirely
happy as Mtltnrill sailed him back to
Porto illeo and the city of San Juan.
When they reached the city he dismiss-
ed Maturin with a substantial sum of
money and went to the best hotel.
Ile was passing through the lobby,
which was quite deserted at this hour
of the day, when he heard a sudden
rush of light feet and the sound of a
sweet voice culling his name.
"Dirk, oh, Dirk: You are safe!"
It was Pauline, and behindcame her
father, looking anxious and then re-
lieved Its he caught Dick's hand in his
own and wrung it.
"My dear boy," said $r. Fane hasti-
ly, "this- girl fell to worrying about
you and your harebrained expedition,
and she gave me no pence until 1
brought her down here to try to dis-
suade you from carrying it out. 1-1
believe she has somethng to say to
you. f'11 wait outside here for you!"
So he pushed them into a deserted lit-
tle parlor. •
Imide the room Dick faced his sweet-
heart. Tears were in Pauline's lovely
eyes.
"Oh, f)iet:, can you forgive me?" she
whispered. "1 don't are how poor

Dick smiled happily and took her

COMBATING HOG CHOLERA,
Campaign Against the Scourge Con.
ducted in Several States.
The department of agriculture dur-
ing the past year has been condtatiug
Campaigns in Indiana, Missouri, Iowa
and Nebraska to control the couttt-
gious disease of hogs known as "bog,
cholera by means of anti -hog cholera
serum and farm quarantine. In one
county (Pettis county, Mo.), where
there was a loss of 18 per cent in 1911
and 25.6 per cent in 1912 of all (logs
raised, there was only a loss of 14.7
per cent up to November, 1913. This
(decrease was due to the use of the
serum, which, although not used there
by the department's agents until Au-_
gust, 1913, materially reduced the loss.
About 60,000 bogs were raised during
the ,past year, and of the 10,000 that
died of the hog cholera only about
1,000 were lost after the active use of
serum and quarantine measures were
inaugurated.
In every county where these meas-
ures were employed, even though be-
gun after the disease had continued its
ravages i; or some time, there was less
loss from hog cholera than in either of
the two preceding years.
In addition to its great function as
a preventive, it has been found that
the anti -hog cholera serum would cure
a large proportion of hogs in the early
stages of the disease and render them
immune after recovery. However, if
hogs are not treated by this serum
from 75 to 100 per cent of all affected
herds die. This serum, so far as is
known, is the only thing that will pre-
vent the disease.
rOf hogs actually sick when treated,
the department's inspectors lost but 25
per cent during last summer. Of well
hogs in diseased herds 2.8 per cent died
after being treated, and of hogs in ex-
posed herds less than 1 per cent died
after being inoculated with the serum.
In an Infected herd there is always a
certain proportion of hogs that are
well.
The inspector examines the hogs
when he arrives, takes tae tempera-
ture of all hogs in the herd and sepa-
rates the sick from tate well. The
temperature is an indication of the
sickness. The temperature of a sick
HOG IN FIRST STAGES OF DISEASE.
hog, unless the bog is near death, will •
run above 104 degrees and sometimes
as high as 107 or 108 degrees F.
The department in initiating its cam-
paign against the devastating hog dis-
ease has only been able to commence
in a few of the districts where the
cholera was the most widespread and
where the active co-operation of the
state was offered In enforcing the ordi-
nary quarantine measures, etc.
The object of the department has
been to endeavor to control the dis-
ease and if possible to eliminate it
from the country. To secure this end
• the best efforts of the farmer himself
are necessary. The campaign against
this -devastating sickness during 1913
was planned in the territory selected
along three lines. •
First,—The education and organiza-
tion of the farmers in the districts se-
lected, to be carried out primarily by
the state college.
Second.—The enforcement of sanita-
tion and restrictive regulations by the
State veterinarian.
Third.—Active supervision by the bu-
reau of animal industry of the depart-
tnent and the inoculation of diseased
herds and exposed herds with tbe anti -
hog cholera serum.
Hog cholera is caused by n germ
that exists in the blood. It is.an or-
ganism apparently so small tbat the
most powerful microscopes do not
show it. However, it is easy to dem-
onstrate its presence by inoculating a
small part of the blood from n sick
bog into a well one, which produces.
the hog cholera.
Hog cholera is a disease which seems
to be stopped to degree by the frosts
of winter, although frost cannot be
said to stop a case after it has token
hold of its victim. however, it seems
to prevent the rapid spread of the dis-
ease. The result is that in the spring-
time the affection is as a rule at its
lowest ebb, slut increases rapidly from
that time until fall.

Pickering Ross in Farm and Fireside.
At all events, it is the cheapest and
best way to get rid of the weeds and
to improve the land.
Success will greatly depend on the
lambs bought. Some one may say, "Of
course mine are just 'grades,' good, bad
and indifferent," and it is just at this
point that danger seems to threaten.
Of course you will buy none but grades
of one of the mutton and wool breeds=
Shropshire, Hampshire or Southdowns
—and the nearest you can come to buy-
ing all of.oue type and breed the surer
you will be of gettiug their full market
value, for the buyers always pay most
attention to the even looking lots. It
is well to bear in mind that a few poor
lambs in a bunch of good ones is al-
ways used as a pretext to pull down
the price, while a few good ones in a
poor lot have no power to raise the
price of the whole. It is therefore far

Shropshire sheep are popular in
this country as weil Os in 1Cngland,
and they are one of tlt'e best breeds
known for mutton production. In
appearance the sheep is well pro-
portioned and built on symmetrical
lines, being compact in form. The
wool is close and longer than that
of many other breeds. Specimens
of this breed have been made to
weigh 225 for the male and 1;5 for
the female, and the meat is of ex-
cellent flavor. As a bearer of lambs
few sheep surpass the Shropshire.

more per head for a nice, even lot, Cal

long, dirty tails or uncastrated bucks
will often spoil the sale of an other-
wise nice hunch of lambs.
It is desirable to find out if the lambs

tion. If they have it will pay to con-

Exclusive corn diet produces tat, un-

with corn should go shorts slop and

of disease and promoters of health.
About twice a week I feed the govern-

tonic and keeps the hog free from his
greatest enemy -worms. Beware of

foods. Mix brains with the bog feed.

The British fur market is almost as
much interested in the fox rearing
industry on Prince Edward Island as
are the ranchers themselves, says
London "People." Litters of young
silver foxes are reported from the
numerous ranches from week to
week, and from these reports, it is
estimated that the fox crop of, this
spring will be worth at current prices
from $5,000,000 to $6,000,000,
which would yield to the Provincial
Government a tax revenue of $50,000

Why Orange Blossoms?
For many centuries the recognized
thing for a bride bas been a wreath of
orange blossoms. But why orange
blossoms ? The question is especial y
interesting when you note the fa, t
that in many countries the orange
blossom is entirely tabooed. The Ger-
man bride wears myrtle ; the girl of
the Black Forest takes the flower of
the hawthorn—when she can get it.
The brides of Italy and the French
provinces of Switzerland use white
roses. Spanish brides go in for pinks,
carnations, and red robes. In Norway,
!Sweden, and Servia the bridal crown
is of silver ; in Bavaria and Stleeia,.

in the islands of Greece, vine leaves;
in Bobemia, rosemary,; and so on.
The Roman bridal wreath was of ver-
bena. Holly wreaths were sent as
tokens of congratulation, and the
wreathe of parsley and rue were given
under the idea that they were the
hest preventatives against the in-
fluence of evil spirite. Why, then,
the orange blo.i'.out wreath? The
pr•itctice of wearing the orange bins•
s,nIt bas been derived from the Sara-
cens, among whom the particular
blossom was regarded as a symbol of a
prosperous ILIP rviage, a circumstance
which is partly to he accounted for by
the fact that in the East the orange
art o beats ripe fruit and blossoms at
the same time. -
