Paterson, N. J.—The salt marshes along the coast furnish the principal part of the mosquito plague in most of the New England states. Contrary to the habits of most mosquitoes, those of the salt marsh species fly in- land long distances, and as they are large and very abundant, and are vora- cious feeders they 1alke life a burden rany inhabitants. There are two species of mosguitoes which breed abundantly on the salt marshes and { which are commeonly calied the brown The Brown Salt Marsh Mosquito. | salt mwarsh wo:quito and the banded salt marsh mosquito The brown species breed upon the marsh early in the season, going long distances inland in search of food. Abcut July first, it is almost wholly remains during the rest of the season. The general methods of mosquito i control are: 1) A draining of the marshes;, (2) oiling the pools, and (3! screening of ail rain water receptacles. The first draining 4 is the method which should be used for the permanent control of the mos- guito nuisanee; the second may be employed temporarily until draining | { can be done, and the third should re- celve attenticn each year Where mosquito lacvae or wrigglers are found in any paol, they may be killed in 2 few minutes by spreading a film of ofl over the surface of the water.

A two-foot extension rod is almost a necessity and costs 35 cents extra. Where large areas are to be treated barrels of oil should | be distributed at various convenient points, in or around the marsh.

Then he arose and took her unwilling hand. “Perhap is best so, Nell,” he said | gravely. “1 don't know but we would worry each other intolerably, It will ;r:n.w Cain with Uncle Charley and | your mother, but—" ; “What is that, Bert?” interrupted | i the girl, poiuting to the surf. ! He turncd lazily and looked over | the sun-lit water. Instantly his entire attitude changed. | He was alive with interest, with pur- pose, with power, “Gireat heavens, it is Julia!” he ex- | claimed. “And she is out tar over her depth and cannot swim a stroke. I | have becn teachinug her to float and | she’s let the current carry her out. If | she tries to touch bottom she’ll get ! frightened and drown.” { While he was talking he had peeled to his trousers and undershirt and pulled off his shoes, and before Miss Nellie fairly knew what was going on | he had plunged into the surf and was making great strokes toward the tiny head bobbing in the water. As the girl on the shore watched him do these things with the rapidity of thought and noted his splendid self- poise and perfect proportions a grate ful sense of satisfaction pervaded her. “All he needs is the spur of neces sity,” she said. “And I'll see that he | gets that. My, but he's a splendid fel low.” Of a sudden the girl floating far out gave a piercing shriek and the head | disappeared. Rollins had nearly | | reached her. He shouted to her to| float for a minute and he would reach her. But the panic was in her, and | | 8he heard nothing As she reappeared on the surface she shrieked again. Out from the cottages and from the I want | hotel people rushed to the beach. Nel-| lie held her breath in horror. Rollins | was fairly leaping through the water. | “I never saw swimming like that,” | sald one of the men who was helping shove the emergency boat into the ! water. “I think he'll get her.” Nellie looked at the man and smiled gratefully, All about the people were commenting on the force and power of the man who seemed to be fairly shooting through the water. There is a heart-breaking minute or | two and then the strong swimmer comes up and clutched tightly by the hair he has the form of the insensible girl. It was a long and a hard swim, with the heavy burden, before the men with | the boat picked them up. And when | | they reached the shore a dainty girl | | stood clear down to the edge where the swell of the water washed her ankles. As Rollins stepped from the | boat unsteady from his great exertion, she cried: “Bert, you are splendid. I take it all back. You are the hero of my dreams.” He regarded her inscrutably for a moment. Then, leaving the uncon-| sclous form of the girl in the boat to | be cared for by the willing bystanders, | he took Nellie's hand and led her back | to the trees. “Nell,” he said, brokenly, “don’t you see! It's hard to explain—but—but— you released me a few moments ago. I ain’t your kind. I've known it for years. You like me now, for a minute because I happen to have been able to do a little something spectacular. | Buc that is not the basis of love.” He paused a minute and looked a | little sheepish. Then he threw back | | his square shoulders and faced her. | “Anyway,” he said, “I am going to | marry Julia Manning next month, Je | | you—it—oh, thunder, good-bye.” | | And he fled. | (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub.
