Meanwhile Harry had found Messrs

cently drawing a rug over the girl
asleep on deck Harry, with starting
eyes and reeling brain, stumbled Into
bis stateroom and fell In a stupor upon j
the floor. Messrs Badger and Marks i
bad made a cleannp.
At dawn Cecil sent the girl below, t
and her coming roused Harry to a full
realization of all that he bad done

that unless by some miracle he cou'd !

Cecil at the earliest opportunity ob
tained from the «"noklng room steward
a (VTVC of card* and with them retired
to his stateroom. He had previously
sodced that all the cards carried In
stock had hacks of similar design and
color. He now proceeded to carefully
mark the deck he had purchased. His
intent was to meet the enemy with
the enemy's own weapons, and be felt
no stain upon the honor beside which
life was to him a trivial thing.
It was a matter of slight difficulty to
engage the complacent swindlers ID a
game, very early in which Cecil sub
stituted hia marked cuds for the deck
in play. At the end of that game Cecil
had iu bW possession the three times

"What happened?" Mr. Marks Rasp

"Ask me!" Mr. Badger replied scorn

Cecil's chair, and with a snarl of fury
he seined upon the deck for which Cecil
had substituted his marked cards.
"He done us. the cheat! He swltch

His features grew livid, and he leaned
forward to whisper with venomous

his arms.

liack. and maybe Mr. Englishman won't
get well of wliat will ail him!"
Quietly Cecil returned the money to
Harry Allium. who was too complete
ly stink in misery to feel any emotion,
even surprise. Any thanks* that he
might have attempted to utter were cut
short by Cecil's cold comment.
"You have lieen a silly child and »
brutal cad. y' Know," he told him for
his soul's good and left him.
Cecil soon understood that his self
assumed duty as special providence
was not yet finished He chanced to
overhear, as she unconsciously spoke
them aloud, words which revealed the
acbe in Ethel's heart.
"His folly ;;nd crime my love would
forgive," she bad manned, "if I could
again think him a man!"
And Cecil went away troubled. Long
pondering evolved but one possible
plan, and he sighed.
"It's a beastly job. but I've got to
see the thing through.*' be thought
"It will mean happiness for the little
girl if be has a spark of manhood in
him. It's worth the chance."
Suddenly he smiled with gentle whim
sicalness and spoke aloud
"You would want me to do It, Betty,
wouldn't you?"
On deck Cecil found Ethel Ashton
and Induced her to walk with him,
though the girl seemed listless and
weary to the point of exhaustion. In
n deserted spot lie had located Harry,
sulking bitterly, and toward this spot
he led the way U'hen near and lu

her passionately In a moment Harry

"What do yon mean, yon"— he be
gan savagely, and Cecil laughed mock
Ingly.
"Oh. von." he said. "Don't bother
me —or, what are you going to do abont
it?"
"This;" Harry raged. and struck
straight for Cecil's face
The Wow staggered him. and a dark
blotch appeared on his cheek, but with

In bis stateroom Cecil gravely In

In the hand of one was a vicious knife,

"It was luck —Just fool luck. Monte."
Mr. Baylor asserted coni illatlugly.
"You done the tirst trick beautiful—an'

Mr. Carson cast upon him • look of

"Yes, mighty good pot to have sold

Mr. Baylor did not seem vastly im

loftily and tramped heavily up the
stair.
"At that. I ain't barken' your game,
none to speak of," Mr. Baylor com
mented luntidihly.
Mr. Carson entered Betty's room with
frowning aggressiveness, but the look
of cold deli: uce which flashed into the
girl's eyes warned him that he had no
longer to deal with an unformed child.
"I never would ha' thought it of you.
Betty." he said slowly. "Ain't I «l

Betty's eyes were cold, however, and
he knew bis appeal had failed.
"Monte." she replied, and her smile
was bitter, "It isn't any use to keep

The Case Against the Rat
After all are present day cities so

the case against the rat in the House
wives I .eague magaxiito and says that
l)lil Hameliu Town is no more to be
pitied than our own great cities.
To be sure we do not have them
biting our babies in their cradles or
chasing our phlegmatic mayors about
the streets but an average of half a
million dollars a vear is charged against
the depredations of rats in every one
of our large cities.

Out of the houses came tumbling.
And step by step they followed dancing
'Till they came to the river Weser,"
writes Browning, and if we had a Pied
Piper no doubt great armies of rats of
every kind could be found in our old
buildings
Because we have rid our houses of
the rodents, or do not see them, we are
inclined to forget they still exist ".lust
us far wrong is the housewife who im
agines she sustains no loss from the
troublesome rodent because they do not
reach the provisions in her cupboard.
No one escapes paying full shore of the
enormous bill of expense incurred in
keeping up our army of rats," says
Miss Nichols. Hats are great travelers
but so stealthy are they that few per
sons know of their migrations. If one
storekeeper wages determined war
against them they use their cleverness
.in avoiding his traps and poisoned food
and leave the promises until the war

In this terrible foot and mouth plague

I was the first to Vie accused of carrying
the germs of the disease. The first in
structions from Washington were to
"destroy all rodents in the stock yards."
Unpleasant as the investigation of the
rat's part in the contamination of our
foods is. it has called our attention to
existing conditions. Our government is
issuing instructions for eradicating rats
|and mice through its bulletins. We are
|advised that traps and thorough clean
i liness are better than poisons and the
I ineffective cat. Some cats are excel

] food hut few cats have the courage to
attack a full grown, vicious, fighting
rat. Moreover, cats seldom eat rats.
A fox terrier will destroy rats when
they are pointed out to him but dogs
that will hunt rats of their own voli
tion are seldom met with.
The danger in using poison is that so
