They shoot first and talk afterwards. They won't listen to reason unless it's post mortem.” “Guess T'll take a chance, old man,” Francis assured the other, himself al! afire with the plan of clearing up the distressing situation between Henry and the girl. But the thought of her perplexed him. He experienced more than a twinge of regret that the love ly creature belonged of right to the man who looked so much like him, and he saw again the vision of her on the beach, when, with conflicting emofons, she had alternately loved him and yearned toward him and blazed her scorn and contempt on him. He sighed involuntarily. “What's that for?” Henry demand ed quizzically. “Leoncia is an exceedingly pretty girl,” Francis answered with trans parent frankness, “Just the same, she's yours, and I'm going to make it my business to see that you get her. Where's that ring she returned? If I don't put it on her finger for you and be back in a week with the 00d news, you can cut off my mus tache along with my ears.” An hour later, Captain Trefethen | having sent a boat to the beach from | the Angelique in response to a sig nal, the two young men were saying good bye. “Just two First cla is not things more, Francis a Solano at all, tho she thinks she is.

Just enough Turkish A most of the places where straight Turkish cigarettes used to have the “call”, Fatima is now the leading ciga- rette.
