r I i A i 5 it; I' A ONCE MORE WORLD'S GRANARY Turkish Government Indulges In Am bitious Scheme for Development of Mesopotamia. In splto of Its cxtcrnnl troubles, the Turkish government 1b engaged in nil Tancing the big schemes for the de velopment of Mesopotamia, whlrh, when completed, will result In tho transformation of an arid desert ro glon ns extensive ns tho Nllo valloy into smiling cornfields. Tho sum Involved In tho hugo Ir rigation works which will bo neces sary to accomplish this transformation Is put at somo $150,000,000, nnd the Immediate concern of tlio Turkish au thorities Is to place a contract for tho initial stage of tho schemes, which provides for irrigation works In con nection with tho barrago which con trols tho flood wator of tho Illvcr Eu phrates, at present under construc tion. Somo Idcn of tho vast lmportnnco of these schemes may bo gathered from tho fact that their accomplishment will onablo sufficient grain to bo grown to affect tho wheat markets of tho wholo world. In tho olden days tho wholo of tho Euphrates delta was Irrigated, and tho luxurious growth of grain excited tho wonder of Greek travelers, who visited tho East. Ac cording to Herodotus, the soil yielded threo hundred-fold, nnd there Is no doubt that these alluvial flats woro ono of tho chief granaries of tho world. Tho wholo story of these regions la a romance It is still tho popular bo llef that tho Garden of Eden was sit uatod hero. In any event, In Chaldton times tho delta was one vast gardnn; tho wholo plain was studded with prosperous and populous cities, sot tn tho midst of engirdling nrens of wheat. Indoed. It was from this very region that wheat, at first found In a wild nnd uncultivated state, was tnken and gradually transplanted all over tho world. ALMOST FRANTIC WITH ITCHING ECZEMA "Eight years ago I got eczema all over my hands. My fingers fairly bled and It itched until It almost drove mo frantic. Tho eruption began with Itching under tho skin. It spread fast from between tho fingers around tho nails and all over tho wholo hands. I got a pair of rubber gloves in order to wash dishes. Then It-spread nil over tho left side of my chest. A flno doc tor treated tho trouble two weeks, but did mo no good. I cried night ond day. Then I decided to try Gullcura Soap and Ointment but without much hope as I had gono so long. Thero was a marked chango tho second day, and bo on until I was ontirely cured.

"Now, Tom," suld Dotty, with a lit tle air of excitement as sho rose from Iho breakfast table that Hrst morn W at Dollo Plain, "I want you to .show mo everything!" "I reckon you'll notice come chnnges," remarked Tom. Ho went from tho room and down the hall a step or two in advanco of her. On tho wido porch Hetty paused, breathing deep. Tho houso stood on nn eminence i directly beforo it at tho bottom of tho slight descent was a small bayou, beyond this tho Torcst stretched away in ono unbroken moss to tho Mississippi. "What Is It you want to fioo, any how, Betty?" Tom demanded. "Everything tho place, Tom liello Plain! Oh, Isn't It beautiful! I had no Idea how lovely It was!" cried Betty, as with her eyes still tlxed on tho distant panorama of wood and water sho went down tho steps, him nt her heels ho bet she'd get sick ol ltinll soon enough, that was ono com fort I "Why, Tom! Why docs tho lawn look llko this?" "Llko what?" Inquired Tom. "Why, this nil weeds and briers, and tho paths overgrown?" Mr. Wnro rubbed his chin reflective ly with tha back of his band. "That sort of thins; looked nil right, Hot," ho snld, "but It kept live or six of tho best hands out or tho fields right nt tho busiest tlmo of tho year." "Haven't I slaves enough?" cho asked. Tho dull color cropt into Ware's cheeks. Ho hated her tor that "1!" Bo she wns going to cotno that on him, was she? "Don't you want to sco tho crops, Dot?" Tho girl shook hor head and moved Bwlftly down tho path that led from torrnco to terrnco to tho margin of tho bnyou. At tho Hrst torruco sho paused, "It's positively squalid!" cried Het ty, with a little stamp of her foot. Ware glanced about with dull eyes. "I'll tell you, Betty, I'm busy this morning; you poko about and bco what you want done and we'll do It," ho said, and mado a hasty retreat to bis office Betty returned to tho porch nnd seating herself on tho top step, with her elbows on hor Unoca and hor chin sunk In tha palms of her hands, gazed about her miserably enough. Sho was still thero whon hnlf an hour later Charley Norton galloped up tho drive from tho highroad. Catching sight or hor on tho porch, ho sprang from tho Baddle, and, throwing his reins to a black boy. hurried to hor side. "Inspecting your domain, Betty?" ho askod, as ho took his placo near her on tho step, "Why didn't you tell mo, Charley--or at least prepare mo for this?" sho nakod, almost tearfully. "How was 1 to know, Betty? I haven't been hero slnco you went away, doar what was thero to bring me? Old Tom would, mako a cow pnBture out of tho Garden of Edon. wouldn't ho a boautlful, proctlcnl, sordid soul ho Is!"

Sho had tho advantage of Charley Norton'B prosenco nnd ndvlco for the greater part of each day In tho week, nnd Sundays ho came to look over what had been accomplished, and, as Tom llrmly'belleved, to put that little fool up to fresh nonsense Ho could havo hooted hlml As the grounds took shape beforo hor delighted oyes, Betty found leis ure to institute a thorough reforma tion indoors. A number of house serv ants were rescued from tho quarters and nho began to Instruct them In their now duties. Betty's sphere of inllucnco extend ed Itself. Sho soon begnn to havo hor doubts concerning the treatment accorded the slaves, and was not long In discovering that Hicks, tho over scor, ran things with a heavy hand. Matters reached a crisis one day when, happonlng to rldo through tho quarters, she found him disciplining a refractory black. Sho turned sick nt the sight. Hero wns a slavo actual ly being whipped by another slave whllo Hicks stood looking on with his hands in his pockets, and with a brutal, satlBiicd air. "Stop!" commanded Betty, her eyes blazing. She Btrovo to keep her voice Bteady. "You shall not reninjn at Bollo Plain nnother hour." Hicks said nothing. Ho know It would take more than her saying so to got him off tho place. Betty turned her horso nnd galloped back to the house She felt that she was In no condition to sco Tom Just at that mo ment, and dismounting at the door, ran upstairs to her room. Mcnntlmo tho overseer sought out Wnro In his ollico. His manner' of stating his grlovnnco was singular. Ho began by swearing nt his employ er. Ho had been Insulted before all tho quarter his rage fairly choked him; ho could not speak. Tom seized tho opportunity to swenr back. "Sent you off tho placo, did sho; well, you'll have to eat crow. I'll do till I can. 1 don't know whnt girls were ever made for nnyhow, damned It I do!" ho added. Hicks consented to cat crow only nftor Mr. Ware had cursed nnd ca joled him Into a better and more for giving frame of mind. Later, after Hicks had mado his apology, tho two men smoked a friendly plpo and discussed tha situa tion. Tom pointed out that opposi tion wns useless, a losing game, In tho midst of her activities Betty occasionally found tlmo to think of Bruco Carrington. She wns suro sho did not wish to seo him again! But when threo weeks had passed sho be gan to feel Incensed that ho had not appeared, Una thought of him with hot checks and n quickening of the heart. It was anger. Thon ono day when sho had decid ed forever to banish nil memory of him from her mind, he presented him seir nt Bollo Plain. Sho was in her room Just putting tho finishing touches to nn especially satisfying toilet when her maid tnppod on the door and told her there was a gentleman In the parlor who wished to seo her. "Is It Mr. Norton?" nsked Betty. "No, Miss ho didn't glvo no name. Miss." When Botty entered tho parlor a moment later sho saw her caller standing with his back turned toward her as ho gazed from ono or tho win dows, but she Instantly recognized those broad should, nnd tho line polpo of tho shapely head that sur mounted thorn, "Oh, Mr. Cnrrlngton " nnd Botty stopped short, whllo her fnco grow rather inl and then crimsoned. Then she advanced boldly nnd held out a frigid hnnd. "1 didn't know so you aro altvo you disappeared bo suddenly that night" "Yes.

"Do you Btlll hato me, Betty Miss Mnlroy Is thero anything I can say or do that will mako you rorglvo me?" Ho looked nt her penitently. nut Betty hardened her henrt against him nnd prepared to keep him In place. "Will you alt down?" sho lndlcatod n chair. He seated hlmscir and Betty put a safo distance between them. "Aro you staying In tho neighborhood, Mr. Cnrrlngton?" sho nsked, rather unkindly. "No, I'm not ctaylng In tho neigh borhood. When I left you, I mndo up my mind I'd wait at Now Madrid un til I could conio on down hero and Bay I was sorry." "And It's tnken you nil this tlmo7" Carrington regarded her seriously. "I reckon 1 must have como for more tlmp, Betty Miss Malroy." In Bplto of herself, Botty glowed undor tho caressing humor of his tono. "Itcally you must havo chosen poorly then when you solected Now Madrid. It couldn't havo been a good plnco for your purpose." "I think If I could havo mado up m tnlurf to stay thoro Ion? enough, It would havo answered," said Car rington. "But whon a down-river boat tied up there yesterday It wns moro thnn I could stand.

"I don't caro anything ubout that," he snld. "I didn't como here to seo Bello Plain." Then you expect to remain in the neighborhood?" ' "I'vo given up tho river, and I'm going to get hold of somo land." "Land?" said Betty, with a rising Inflection.- "Yes, lnnd." "I thought you were a river-man?" "I'm a rlvcr-man no longer. I am going to bo a planter now. But I'll toll you why, nnd all about It somo other day." Then ho hold out his hand. "Good-by," ho ndded. "Aro you going? good-by, Mr. Car rington," and Betty's lingers tingled with his masterful clasp long after ho had gono. CHAPTER XI. The Shooting-Match at Boggs'.

I reckon you'vo missed tho hoss-raclnu, but you'll bo In tlmo for tho shooting. Why nln't you there, Mr. Carrington?" "I'm going now, Mr. Pegloe," an swered Carrington, ns ho followed tho Judge, who, with Mubufry and the boy, had moved off. "Better stop at Boggs'!" Pcgloo called aftor them. But tho Judgo had already formed his decision.

"I reckon it can shoot these old guns aro bard to beat!" ho observed. "She's tho closest shooting ride I ever sighted," said Hannibal prompt ly. Carrington laughed. Thero was a rusty name-plato on tho stock of tho old sporting rltle; this caught Carrlngton's eye "What's the namo here?
