UNIFORMITY
the simple mechanical details of cigarette
manufacture are of surprising importance.
Upon them depend the physical properties
of the cigarette, such as weight, size, firm-
ness,moisture-holding properties, uniformity
of fill—uniformity of product—all of which
have a far-reaching effect on the character of
its combustion and the constituents of its smoke.
in the manufacture of Lucky Strike Ciga-

of Dr. Mudd, for him to appear.
Chapter Three
Dr. Mudd had just assisted an-
other small life into the world.
3tanding wearily by the cabin door,
rolling down his ehirt sleeves, the
doctor could not help smiling as he
contemplated tho eleven brothers
and sisters of the newborn—eurely
the blackest family he had ever
seen.
"Well, you've got a new, little
brother," the doctor told them jo-

hey stared, rolling their eyes. (
"Aren't you happy about It?" I
demanded. It always interested him
to observe the reactions of these
little humans, so like and yet eo
different from hla own kind.
"Yc«, suh, Marse Sajn," finally
piped up the oldest girl. Then
warmly, for tho subject was closer
to her heart, "Kin she get break-
fast now? Ub is hongry."
"Your mammy won't be able to
get breakfast for you this morn-
ing;" the doctor replied. "Where's
your psppy?"
"He gon« to do speakln'."
"Speaking!" exclaimed Dr. Mudd
in disgust. "What's the matter

counter between the two white men.
"These colored people are my
friends," said the carpet-bagger dra-
matically appealing to hie audience.
"Throw him off," Mudd tersely
commanded his employees. And
then, as they heeltated, ho said
sharply, "Do as I tell you!"
Eyeing each other in awe at the
idea: of iselzing a white man, tho
darkies ^hufilecl toward the carpet-
bagger.
Frightened and angry, the man
backed against a tree. "Keep
away!" he screamed. "Get back!
Dont, you dare lay your black
hands on a white man!
The negroes, who hod been listen-
ing eagerly to a sermon on the
equality of the blacks with tho
whites, were puzzled by this appa-
rent about-face.
"But Cap'n, you Jest been tellin'
us we is & good as you is!" ono of
them reminded him apologetically.
"Let's go!" cried another.
Without further ado they seized

tic blows, but offering none in re-
turn. and hustled him, yelling and

In hisi dooryard he was met by his

Flinging the reins to a negro

"The eoldler broke my -dolly.

"White folks speakln'," the older
girl answered, squirming under his
disapproval. •
"Preacher?" inquired Mudd, but-
toning his cuffs.
"Naw, suh, aln t no preacher. Jest
a nacheral man."
The doctor sighed and shook his
head Taking his coat from a nail
by the door, Tie said sternly, "Then
one of you big girls—ypu. Ella
Mae—go in there and sit with your
mammy till she goee to sleep. The
rest of you young 'uns better get
out of the houfie and not make, any
noise." " §*-"
Obediently Ella Man sidled Into
the cabin, but the other children
followed the doctor to his buggy
and stood watching him drive away.
The doctor hadn't reollzed how
tired he was. It had been foolish of
him to sit up all night waiting for
the summons to Roeabelle s cabin.
But although his slaves had been
freed long before the Civil War, he
still felt responsible tor them. They
were so like children. He worried
about their morale ao well as their
health. He must make that good-
for-nothing Buck marry Rosabelle,
he vowed.
Suddenly the doctor pulled his
horse to a st<Jp and stared off in
the field at his right. Something
was happening there. Under a great
oak a man was standing haran-
* eulng a crowd of colored folks.
His mouth settling into a grim
line, the physician reined his horeo
into the field.
As he came up, the white man
was saying:
"You colored brothers have got
to realize you're no longer slaves!
You're free men! And you're as
l?ood as any white man in the state
pf Maryland! T!ho right to vote is
yours—and it's up to you to take it,"
As Dr. Mudd bought his horse
to a stop, there was giggling and
embarrassed glances among the
Negroes.
"Who gave you permission, car-
pet-bagger, to come on my land and
take my hnnda away from their
work ?" Dr. Mudd demanded quiet-
ly. '
"You can't scare me, Mudd!"
shouted the man, a pale, seedy fel-
low with long hair and baggy trou-
sors. "You can't scare me!'
Keeping his seat, the doctor said
sharply to the negroes who were
•lipping away, "Come back here,
you mon!" and then to the carpet
liagger, "There Isn't a man on my
Slant atlon who Isn't here because
e wants to be. Because they wer-
en't freed yesterday, Mister. Thsy
wore freed four years ago! Anyhow
wlio wants to leave can draw his

Laughing, the doctor swung the
little girl to his shoulder ftrvl strode
up tho steps of the porch. But the
laugh was frozen on his lips.
Standing in the open doorway was
Sergeant Rankin, his pistol in his
hand. At Mudd'e approach he |
backed' into the room. |
VGood morning," said tho doctor
inquiringly, his puzzled gaze falling
upon Lieutenant Lovett, who had
risen, and on his father-in-law who,
although tho picture of indignation,
had not moved.
"Good mornin' nothing!" burst
out the outraged Colonel. "Dou't
speak to the filthy Yankee hounds!
'I—Gad, came bustln' into a man's
home, while he's eatln' his vlttles.
I—Gad, asking a lot of dad-blamed
fool questions about actors!" (
"Shut up, Grandpa!" said Ran- ,
kin contemptuously. I
Amazed and indignant, the doctor
put his little daughter down, i
"What's, the meaning of this?" \
K "Doctor Mudd?" inquired Lovett
evenly.
"YVa."
"Are you acquainted with John
Wilkes Booth?"
"I've seen him on the stage in
Washington, yes."
"Would you recognize him If you
saw him—on the street?"
Perplexed Mudd replied slowly,
'"Why yes, I believe I would."
• "w&b he here last night?"
"Of course n<?t!"
"What did I tell you," the Colonel
burst out pulling angrily at his
whiskers. "I—Giad, I told you ho
wasn't here last night, didn't I?"
Ignoring the blustering Colonel,
Lovett turned to Sergeant Rankin.
"Bring Mrs. Mudd down," he or-
dered. j'
"What'e the. meaning of this?" de-
manded Mudd for the second time,
his outraged gaze following the-sol-
dier who. as though he had a per-
fect right to Invade the privacy of
this home, was ascendltig fhe stairs
to the bodrooms above.
"You can't even guess. I suppose,"
said Lovett, looking curiously at
tho doctor. He was a little sorry
for this man, who seemed a decent,
hard-working sort. But a soldier
had to do his duty and Lieutenant
Lovett had had very clear orders
as to what hie duty was today. And,
of course, there was the Incriminat-
ing boot, with Booth's name on the
lining. It had been found here, on
the premises of this plantation.
Such evidence could not b*s ignored.
"If you've harmed my wife," be-
gan the doctor. But Just then
Peggy Mudd came running into the
:4
"Sam! Oh, Bam!" she cried. Put-
tine his arms around her, the doo-
tor faced Lovett.
