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.
Tho Cuticura'Soap wo havo always
kept In our home, and wo decided
after that lesson that it is a cheap

was founded by tho Aztecs, tho mas
ter raco of the country at the tlmo of
tho coming of tho Spnnlards. Of tho
"civilization," so-called, that existed
prior to the Spanish conquest, It can
be authoritatlvoly inserted that it

moved from Bavngery, tho social stato
of the Aztecs was characterized by
much that was cnido nnd cruel and
was far Inferior to tho social condll

Belle Plain.
"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

"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

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

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

mounted thorn,
"Oh, Mr. Cnrrlngton " nnd Botty
stopped short, whllo her fnco grow

Then she advanced boldly nnd held

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

"Mayn't I show you Bello Plain?"
asked Betty quickly.
But Carrington shook his head.
"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

had moved off.
"Better stop at Boggs'!" Pcgloo
called aftor them.
But tho Judgo had already formed

Into his face, and yielded tho pleco
without a word. Carrington balanced
It on his big palm. "I reckon it can

"She's tho closest shooting ride I
