Cost of Candy In the year 1823 the people of the United States spen^ nearly $380.000.000 for candy, an average of more than $1,000,000 a day. Assuming an average price of 40 cents a pound for all grades, this amount of money would purchase nearly 1,000.000.000 pounds of candy in a year.—Lydia J. Roberts In Hygeia.

—the reward of internal cleanliness. IF YOU do not keep clean internally your looks and health are undermined together. A clogged intestine breeds poisons that reach every part of the body. I These poisons ruin the complexion and ; undermine health. Constipation brings on such ailments as headaches, bilious attacks and insomnia, each of which saps your health and vitality. A void Laxatives—say Doctors Laxatives and cathartics do not overcome Constipation, says a noted authority, but by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition. Medical science has found at last in lubrifuttion a means of overcoming conMipatum. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetratrs and softens the hard ftxid waste and thus hastens its passage through and out <4 the body. Nujol is not a medicine B or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure । water, it is harmless. Take Nujol regularly and adopt this ? habit of internal cleanliness. For sale by J all druggists. t k Nujol us. sat orr. Lorr Internal Cleanliness

They are both loyal to King Shakespeare, for example, and they also spend the greater part of their leisure time in doing something somehow to some kind of a ball rather than looking at Shakespearean revivals.—London Morning Post.

The Red Line Trail

CHAPTER Xlll—Continued —l6— "I forgot,” Mrs. Archnwm struggled up heroically. “Come on. I’ll go.” "No hurry 1” Miss Denslow pressed the older lady back. "We’ll make better time if we rest a while and eat something. Besides, the moon will be up soon and walking will be easier.” Bess laughed. It was a rather weak laugh, but It was a laugh. “We’d better get at our sumptuous repast,” she said, ‘‘unless we want to eat in the dark. Here goes the last piece of firewood, and the men say they can’t find any more. And an electric torch, though useful, will not illuminate a whole dinner table. Besides, we’ll need It later." < Bess was right. The fire was dying, and long before the supper, simple as It was, could be finished, darkness had again descended upon the scene. When the last red ember winked out. several of the party drew long breaths. But nobody said anything. Their feel- : Ings were too (Seep for words. Each, nowever, undoubtedly took some comfort from hearing the others munch- ! Ing away at their hardtack In the darkness. At last Lord (Jeorge got up. “The tnoon Is up.” he said, pointing to the ’ top of the canyon, where the tree tops had begun to silver against the sky. i It’s time to move.” "Walt!” Miss Denslow’n voice came hissing In the gloom. "Listen !” Out or. the water of the inlet Bounded the steady beat of oars, coming j nearer and nearer. Mrs. Arch man started uji thankfully. “They’ve come for ns. Oli ! They’ve come for us.” | she murmured. "I knew they couldn't | desert us. Call to them. Bess. Call to them.” “Wait.’” Miss Denslow and Lord George spoke together. “Wait and see who they are first.” "But—” “For God's sake be still 1” breathed Lord George. “Silence! Keep well bnck under the ledge, for your life's sake.” * Awed by his tones, nil shrank back, flattening themselves against the rocks, and waited, listening. ; The sound of the yars against the ' oarlocks had ceased. Another instant i and a low order, followed by a con- j I certed rattling, showed that the crew J jof the b^at had shipped oars with j ; man-of-w a* regularity. Other orders] followed, end other movements. The । trained ears of Lord George and Col- j lins made out that most of the men had landed, but that one or more had put off In the tlbnt to lie away from the shore. A shuffling of feet and a low click of metal on metal showed j that those cn land had formed Into . a rough col iinn and that they carried rifles. As they moved up the cleft, more than one of them growled out a curse as he barked his shins on nn unseen rock. Only one of the listeners re"Ognlzed the language. “Danish!” bieathed Lord George, as the steps of the last one died away. The next moment Lord George : stepped out. “Follow me, quickly nnd j silently,” he breathed. “Don’t lose \ an instant.” He waited while the others emerged from beneath the ledge, nnd then he set off up the path, following itard on the trail of the j mysterious column. ' Ten minutes later he paused by the side of the break in the wall, which ; was plainly perceptible In the greater i I light that had come from the shallow- | I Ing of the gully. Silently he deflected | ' each of his companions up It. When ' the last one had passed he drew a I deep breath. “Checkmate,” he mur- | mured, as he followed. The trail around the mountain proved to be eas w to follow despite the difficulties of night travel. It was. In fact, a real trail and not, like the [ first they had followed, merely the rock-streWn bed of a torrent, which had happened to coincide more or less ' closely with a fanciful red line that Price had drawn uj»on the forged map. I The party made excellent time along It and would have done even better had It not been for Mrs. Archman. who : was utterly exhausted and positively I I refused to consider even a suggestion from Collins that he and Lord George ' should push ahead on a reconnoiter- : Ing expedition and leave the others to rest and follow later. As it turned out, however, the party did not have very far to go. About midnight, just as the men figured out I that they must be very near the Intersecting red line that ran up the mountain. the trail began to slant steeply downward, so steeply that Lord l George, who was leading, stopped and peered doubtfully downward into the । pool of slackness that yawned before i him. The moon, though probably ■ above the horizon, was behind the i mountain and threw only n reflected light over the spot where the party had baited. “Stop here till we can find out where we are going,” directed his lordship authoritatively, but in a low tone, when the others came up. “This path seems to go far down, and I’ve got to reconnoiter before I take you along It.” He jieered to the right, whence came the murmur of the sea. “We’re I near the water.” he added. “Maybe the path goes down to It. We're only guessing that the map Is right, you 1 know. Mr. Collins, you’d better go I Inland, I fancy, and see whether you can get around the hend of the ravine. Maybe the red line trail comes out at Ils head nnd you can find it. Mr. Arch | man. you'll stay here with the ladles till we come back or call to you.” No one seemed to resent Lord George's direction. The others seemed to have instinctively recognized that lie was the best fitted of the party to lend. Even Uolllns, who might have claimed the right to control, made no objection. With a nod of comprehenslon he turned off to the left and trumped away; while Lord George almost ns quickly took the road downIward nnd disappeared. Despondently the four who had I left behind waited. Mrs. Archi num sat down on the bare ground nnd I went to Bleep almost Instantly, with her bend pillowed on Bess’ lap. Miss

By Crittenden Marriott Copyright. W. O. Chapman Denslow walked to the very edge of the ravine and tried to peer down; and after a moment Harry Joined her. Suddenly a low call sounded from dead ahead. “Hello! Hello! Mr. Archman," it came cautiously. Harry straightened up. “Hello!” he called. “Who’s that?" ‘lt’s me—Collins," came the answer. "I thought I saw you.” Simultaneously Miss Denslow clutched Harry's arms. “There he Is," she murmured. “On the other side of the ravin-., a little higher than we are. He’s gotten completely around it. Yes. Mr. Collins?" “Nothing doing over here! No path! Have you heard from Lord George?" “Not yet.” “All right. I’m coming back.” The almost invisible figure rustled Into the deeper shadows that lay behind it. It was growing decidedly lighter. The .noon was climbing behind the mountain and its rays were pulsing overhead, making the sky faintly luminous. Suddenly a confused noise from seaward broke on the night and the two turned to look. But the edge of the cliffs cut off all view of the sea. "I’ll go—” began Harry. But Miss Denslow stopped him. “No!’’ she said. "Stay here. We must he ready is Lord George calls. Listen. Don’t you hear ours?" "Yes! I—” Below In the darkness of the ravine a stone rattled downward, followed by another and another. Someone was climbing the rocks reoklessly. SOM H’ i “That’s Me!” The Newcomer Hurried Across the Room and Began to Untie the Cords That Bound Nellie to Her Chair. While the two waited, a form sprang Into view and Lord George's voice, cautious yet vibrant with excitement, rang out. “Quick I" he called. “Come quick, all of you! Danger! Come quick !” CHAPTER XIV A Little Surprise As the door closed behind Price, Nellie turned to Captain Bunker with a sob. “What shall we do?" she cried. "What shall we do?” Bunker shrugged his mighty shoulders. “Don't you fret," he said cheerily. "I've been in tougher places than this and I'm here to tell it. It's mighty hard on you, but—” "Oh!” Nellie uttered a cry. “Can we trust him?” she quavered. Captain Bunker sniffed. “You can trust him just as far as you can trust a rattlesnake, and no farther," he grunted. "He needs that map bad and he's trying to get it. I guess he doesn't remember It as well as he makes out. And he's worried about what he’s got to face and wants to find out; and he'll promise anything to get you to tell. But you were right in what you said. Once he gets what he wants, it’s all up with you and me—and with your mother nnd the rest, too. He can’t let us go to set the dogs on him later. He just can’t. And his men wouldn't let him If he wanted to. By the way, I don’t want to be Inquisitive, but how about those forty millions he's talking about. Are they there?” The girl shook her head. “I don't know," she answered hesitatingly. “Father —Mr. Archman —spoke once or twice of a lot of money, but I didn't pay much attention. Forty millions is a lot.” Bunker nodded. “Rather!” he agreed,. "By the way, where Is Mn Archman? How did you happen to come on board alone?”

Samoan Women Happy and Not Overworked

The life of a Samoan woman Is i pleasant. She Is neither overworked nor savagely treated, says Edward A. Salisbury, in Adventure Magazine. I From her earliest childhood she is trained in the intricacies of the siva- ' siva, and all her life the dance is a source of pleasure to her. Samoan women will always dance for you if you ask them, and they show by their smiles and songs how much they delight in granting the request. In their girlhood tlrey deck themselves with flowers and garlands : of leaves and are fond of coquetry, I but, unlike their Polynesian sisters of I the Marquesas and Society islands, they are chaste. Before the coming of the Ameri cans with new medical theories, the life of an Infant was doubtful, ami even now the old customs are carried ouf In some villages. It Is said. The new-born child was laid on its back

“Because I was a fool. When word came that you were lying off the shore father was busy with —with some one. So I sent him word that I would come out to welcome you. I sent the man with me back to tell father and I Jumped Into my boat and rowed out. I was going back for father almost at once—as soon as 1 got the mail.” “But why didn’t he follow?” “There’s only the one boat. That is, there’s but one available until the tide goes out. So he can’t come out for hours and he—look !” A section of the paneling between two of the dead eyes that lighted the cabin was swinging outward and a man’s foot was appearing beneath It. The next moment it was followed by the rest of his body. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “It's only me.” “Mr. Carr!” The words sprang from Nellie’s lips, mingled with something suspiciously like a profane exclamation from Captain Bnnker. "That’s me!” The newcomer hurried across the room and began to untie the corns that bound Nellie to her chair. “Gee! I thought that fellow never would go,” he declared, “and I wasn’t sure he find gone at first. It wag close quarters, waiting. Still—” He broke off, for Nellie had dropped her head and was sobbing as if her heart would break. Carr dropped the cords and bent over ber. “Nellie! Nellie!” he cried. “Please don't. Oh, please don't! Oh, I’m such a fiat-footed Idiot! I was talking l!ke a fool because I thought It would startle you less; and here I've frightened you so! What is It, dear?" The girl was muttering something through her tears. The young man bent down to listen, and she spoke again. This time the wards came clearer. “I’m n-not startled or frightened nor—nor anything," she sobbed. ’Tm crying because I—l'm so glad to see you again.” Carr jumped. Then he dropped on his knee beside the girl nnd threw his arms around her —and the chair. Captain Bunker was watching the scene In profound disgust. “Belay there!” he roared. “This Isn't any pink-tea party. Break away and cut me loose quick. D—n it all. do you know that h—l Is likely to pop around here any minute?” Carr Jumjied up. “Rlght-o, captain!” he cried. “Rlght-o! I'll be with you in Just a minute.” Nellie's loosened bonds fell at her feet; nnd Carr turned to the captain nnd quickly set him nt liberty. Then he turned back to Nellie and held out his arms. The girl walked Into them and had her weeping face on his shoulder. It was a very dusty and unromantic shoulder, too, but neither of them thought of that. Captain Bunker thought of It, however. He was stretching his limbs and feeling bls cramped muscles, meanwhile contemplating the proceedings with profound disfavor. Carr caught his expression and laughed happily. "Captain Bunker,” he cried. "If this pains you, kindly turn your back and scrutinize the second porthole on the starboard quarter. We'll call yon later.” But It was Nellie and not Bunker who acted. Half laughing and half sobbing, she pushed Carr from her, and turned a rosy face toward the captain. “Never mind, captain.” she said. “You may look all you like.” "Never mind!" roared the captain. “But I do mind. miss. Where do you think you are? Stand back. Carr, or I’ll put you iu irons. What the devil are you doing on my ship, anyhow*’ Carr laughed. "That's a long story, captain," he said. “And I’m afraid I haven't time to tell it now. Your friend Price may be back any minute. I'll just say that when I found out that you were coming to meet Nellie nnd her father I determined to come along—the more especially as I wasn’t altogether satisfied with some of your prospective passengers. So I came —” "But how the devil did you come? And —and who made hat opening into my cabin?” “I did, captain— l and my men. A ; dozen men can do a lot in seven days when they work overtime, even if they have to dodge a sharp-eyed captain and mate who never seem to want to go ashore. But come. We’re taking ; chances.” The young man drew Nellie toward the slit in the bulkhead. "Come . along, captain,” he called over his shoulder. Nellie went willingly. She seemed almost gay again. “Show me!” she ordered. "Oh-h-h! I’m so glad you came. I was so frightened. But i now—” "Now It’s all right. Good Lord! If you knew how hard It was for me to keep still while that blackguard was talking— But here we are! Peek In!” He stood aside, and pointed through an aperture. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

There are few edible plant products obtained -there without regular attention. Every native village has its plantation where the famous bread fruit, bananas and coconuts are raised. The plantations are generally In forest clearings and are allowed to grow uy in all sorts of weeds.

Valuable Catch Sixty thour-and dollars was realized from a single day’s catch of fish just off the bea< h near f’aj>e Charles, Va^ when 12 refrigerator cars moved to the. markets barrels of gray trout that averaged the fishermen S4O a barrel.
