CAVERLY, Publisher KNEY, MICHIGAN The new nickels are no easier to get than the old ones. Our Idea of the "perfect" gown Is one that can be wished *on Hasty marriages are proverbially likely to lead to long repentance Many men take their work more seriously than others do their loafing. CJpton cannot lift the cup, but all true sports lift their hats to Upton. Get busy Did you ever notice what hard work it is to keep on doing nothin? A California scientist says the sun is a magnet. It certainly does draw attention. A Japanese expert has arrived to study the New York police. Possibly for points to avoid. Adding insult to injury.is where a mun asks for a light and then blows the cigar smoke in your face. Now a scientist has risen up to say that cheese causes appendicitis. But some cheese can do worse than that. Insects have one advantage in that many of them mature thirty minutes after birth. Some men never mature. C A N A D A W I N S A G A I N THE COLORADO SILVER TROPHY FOR OATS WON A SECOND TIME BY CANADA. Disapproval of the design of the new nickel is becoming general. Why so much fuss over a lowly half dime? The clergyman who said. "Let your enemies kiss you," evidently has never felt the smarting effect of a brick wound Now we know why the "turkey trot' has been discarded by society The dance is too rough for corsage bouquets to stand the shock. No one but dentists will worry over the statement made by a rniverslty of Chicago professor that the human •race will some day be toothless King George is to wear a crown 11 it has an open top doubtless its use will tend to prevent baldness, but there is litle excuse for it otherwise. The burglar who entered a Los An geles home and forgot the purpose o1 his visit long enough to aid in* com forting a sick baby, is not beyond re demption. The Minnesota legislator who Is after a law to make it a felony for d housewife to "steal" the servant o' another, must have had a good cook in his family at some time The professional burglar has qui* wearing gloves to avoid leaving finger prints He has discovered that a much easier method is to wash off the safe after he is through with it The most recent achievement of Canada's West is winning for the sec* ond time the magnificent $1,500 silver trophy awarded by the State of Colo* rado for the best peck of oats. At Columbus, Ohio, in 1911, J. C. Hill & Sons of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan* placed a peck of oats grown on their farm in competition, with oats from every part of the world. The judges had no difficulty in deciding, and the inward was given to the Saskatchewan grown oats. In 1912, the Corn Exposition had no exhibition, and our Canadian friends, although ready for a second contest had no opportunity. In 1913, the exhibition of the Society was held at Columbus, S. C , and It is said of it that it was one of the best yet held. At this exhibition, which comprised corn and all the smaller grains, Hill & Sons of Lloydminster had on exhibition for the contest another peck of oats grown on their Saskatchewan farm, in 1912. There was no trouble for the judges, no time necessarily lost in reaching a decision, Hill & Sons won, and for the second time their name will appear on the crest of the cup. The third space will doubtless be occupied by their name, and then this splendid trophy will be theirs. During the past few years Western Canada grains—wheat, oats, barley and flax—have been in competition with grains from all other countries, and in every case their superiority has been shown. It is not only in oats, but it Is in wheat, in barley and In flax, that Canada more than holds its own, when placed side by side with grains from other parts. Mixed farming Is taking a strong hold not only in those parts of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which up to the present have been devoted solely to grain growing, but also in the districts contiguous, where the conditions of climate, shelter, water, grass and hay make farming of this kind, easy to prosecute and large In profits. It was in the Province of Manitoba that the steer was raised that carried off the Championship of the steer class, at Chicago last December. This beast had been fattened on the grass and hay of the Province and the only finishing grain it had was barley; not an ounce of corn.

PRESIDENT AGREES TO SMALL DUTY ON SUGAR EVENTUALLY TO BE FREE TARIFF TO BE REMOVED FROM WOOL AND STEEL RAILS The Estimated Loss of Eighty Millions In Revenue Is to be Made Up by Graduated Tax on Incomes With President Wilson and congressional leaders practically agreed upon free wool and a low duty on sugar, eventually to become free, the ways and means committee began drawing its report on the new tariff bUl, estmating the loss of revenue from the new rates at ¢80.000,000 a year. The revenue from the income tax will be estimated at a like amount, to be derived in this way: Incomes of $4,000 up to but not including $20,000, to be taxed at 1 per cent; $20,000 up to $50,000 2 pe*r cent; $50,000 to $100,000, 3 per cent; all over $100,000, 4 per cent Flat tax on corporations, 2 per cent. The exemption will be on all incomes under $4,000. The income tax provision now stands this way and is not expected to he changed. Among the numerous additions to the free list will be ste^l rails. Cuts will be made all along the line on the metal schedule. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the leader of the English militant suffrage ttea, was found guilty and sentenced to three years' penal servitude at the Old Bailey sessions in Lonaon on the charge of inciting persons to commit dLma^e. 4 The trial had lasted two days. The jury added to its verdict of guilty a strong recommendation for mercy, and when the judge pronounced the heavy sentence of three years the crowd ot women in the court room rose in angry protest. As Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in the prisoner's inclosure her sympathizers cheered wildly, and then filed out of court singing "March On, March On" to the tune of the "Marseillaise." Mrs. Pankhurst's closing address to the jury lasted 50 minutes. She informed the court that she did not wish to call any witnesses. In her address1 she frequently wandered so far from the matter before the court that the judge censured her. "In impassioned tones she declared: "Whatever may be my sentence, I will not submit. From the very moment I leave the court I will refuse to eat I will come out of prison dead or alive at the earliest possible moment" Justice Lush, in summing up ,told the jury that Mrs. Pankhurst's speeches were an admission that she had incited to the perpetration of illegal acts. Mrs. Pankhurst almost broke down when the jury pronuonced its verdict.

Well-Furnished Expedition Returns Without the Riches It Had Been In^ Search Of. One of the writers in the Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph compares George Washington to Honus Wagner; show ing that Pittsburgh people f i l l have a high regard for the first president Tt has b^en determined that tjie average lifetime of a United States $1 silver certificate is a trifle more than a year.

The treasure hunting party from Plymouth, England, which has been searching Cocos island in the Pacific for treasure supposed to have been buried there by pirates many years ago. has arrived at Panama on board the steamer Melmore without the hoped for pirate spoils. The Melmore sailed from Barry in September last, carrying in addition to the officers and crew, two London ladies and three gentlemen financially interested in a venture which was fondly hoped to return 100 per cent profit Two other unsuccessful attempts to locate the buried gold and jewels of the buccaneers made by Earl Fitz- William and Mr. Harold Gray did not diminish the faith of the members of the Melmore expedition, who declared they had specific information of the exact position of the accumulated hoard. One treasure was actually brought from Lima in 1820, consisting of gold bullion and articles to the value of about $25,000,000, and the other treasure, which is placed at an even higher figure, was taken to Cocos island by the famous pirate Bonito. Despite the care with which the Melmore was fitted out—the expedition was estimated to cost $500,000—the search appears to have been fruitless. Former Governor Lost In Desert. Letters which have been received from former Governor Chase S.

For a whole day their camels circled the desert, fiannly makin camp at an oasis. That night the remainder of the caravan overtook them there. Wilson to Address Reporters, Convinced that public business would be expedited by the practice, President Wilson has decided to set aside two hours each week for "heart to heart" talks with the newspaper correspondents. One hour will be devoted to the writers each Tuesday morning and another hour will be given over to the same purpose Thursday afternoons. The presdent will discuss administration policies and sketch his official programs, much of the matter discussed necessarily being in confidence and solely for the guidance of the writers. Turkey.

In a recent volume of reminiscences the writer states that baldness is much more common now than in his early days, and ascribes the modern man's loss of hair to the decrease in the use of "bear's grease." , This pomade was made principally of lard colored and scented, but "hairdressers, many of whom called themselves 'professors,' used to advertise the slaughter of another fine bear/ ex hibiting a canvas screen depicting in glaring colors a brown animal of elephantine proportions expiring in a sea of gore."

It was surprisingly short, being in full as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: I have called the congress together In extraordinary session because a duty was laid upon the party now in power at the recent elections which it ought to perform promptly, in order that the burden carried by the people under existing law may be lightened as soon as possible and in order, also, that the business interests of the country may not be kept too long in suspense as to what the fiscal changes are to be to which they will be required to adjust themselves. It is clear to the whole country that the tariff duties must be altered. They must be changed to meet the radical alteration in the conditions of our ecnomic life which the country has witnessed within the last generation. While the whole face and method of our industrial and commercial life were being changed beyond recognition the tariff schedules have remained what &ey were before the change began, or have moved in the direction they were given when no large circumstance of our industrial development was what it is today, Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suffering from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the nature of free business) instead of by the law of legislation and artificial arrangement. Business Not Normal. We have seen tariff legislation wander very far afield in our day— very far indeed from the field in whicn our prosperity might have had a normal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts squarely ln the face or knows anything that lies beneath the surface of action can fail to perceive the principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We long ago passed beyond the modest notion of "protecting" the industries of the country and moved boldly forward to the idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the government. For a long time— a time so long that the men now active in public policy hardly remember the conditions that preceded it—we have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or producers what they themselves thought that they needed in order to maintain a practically exclusive market as against the rest of the world. Consciously or unconsciously, we have built up a set of privileges and exemptions from competition behind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to organize monopoly; until at last nothing is normal, nothing is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and economy, in our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted arrangement. Only new principles of action will save us frcm a final hard crystallization of monopoly and a complete loss of the influences that quicken enterprise and keep independent energy alive. It is plain what those principles must be. We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of privilege or of any kind of artificial advantage, and put our business men and producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient, economical, and enterprising, masters oi competitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any ln the world. Aside from the duties laid upon articles which we do not, and probably cannot, produce, therefore, and the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yield, the object of the tariff duties henceforth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of American wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world. Development, Not Revolution. It would be unwise to move toward this end headlong, with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own invitation. It does not alter a thing to upset It and break it and deprive It of a chance to change. It destroys it. We must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object Is development, a more free and wholesome development, not revolution,or upset or confusion. We must build up trade, especially foreign trade. We need the outlet and the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up industry as well and must adopt freedom In the place of artificial stimulation only so far as it will build, not pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this may be done will be a matter of judgment, exercised item by Item. To some not accustomed to the excitements and responsibilities ol greater freedom our methods may iu some respects and at some points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies. It is our business to make sure that they are genuine remedies. Our object Is clear. If our motive is above just challenge and only an occasional error of judgment is chargeable against us. we shall be fortunate. We are called upon to render the country a great service in more matters .than one. Our responsibility should be met and our methods should be thorough, as thorough as moderate and well considered, based upon the facts as they are, and not worked out as if we were beginners. We are to deal with the facts of our own day, with the facts ot no other, and to make laws which square with those facts. It is best, indeed it Is necessary, to begin with the tariff. I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can ob scure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At a later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to re forms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompany them, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and currency laws; but just now I refrain. For the present, I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing—of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free channels of prosperity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file. WOODROW WILSON. The White House, April 8, 1918. FAMILY NAMES OF ROYALTY Royal Personages Descended Mostly From Counts, Existing Long Before Surnames Came Into Use. The royal families of Europe have not generally a surname because mostly (unlike the English houses of Stuart and Tudor, which were the respective surnames of the first kins? of each house before he ascended .he throne) they are descended in the male line from some territorial counts existing long previous to the period in which the somewhat modern custom of surnames prevailed. King Georoge V derives in the male line from the ancients counts of Wettin (flourishing in the tenth century), afterwards electors of Saxony, dukes of Saxe Coburg, Gotha, etc. His ancestors ln the male line were of the house of Este, one of whom, Azo of Este, married early in the tenth century the daughter and heiress of Guelph, duke of Bavaria, from which match sprang ln the male line the dukes of ^Brunswick-Lunenburg, after-, wards electors of Hanover, and kings of Great Britain. The members of the royal family are described by their princely titles in proceedings in the house of lords' and no allusion is made to any surname—for instance, they sign the test roll merely by their personal or Christian name, and we know nothing of any surname which appertained by right or by usa^e, to her late majesty, Queen Victoria, or to his majesty King George V. Bermuda Fish. At the market during a recent week many handsome fish were to be seen, several of them taken by American tourists, and afterward presented to the fisherman who "took them out." Large amber-jacks and bonitoes, splendid game fish and chubs, as plucky and "flghty" a fish as ever took bait, were well represented. Among the others seen on the market hooks and elsewhere were bluefish,, yellowtails, red snappers, gray snappers, butterflsh, gags, hamlets, "hines," salmon and black rockfish, porgies and red rockfish. "Nigger fish," the long ago despised finny midget, has been metamorphosed to the now much sought after "choicest of the choice'* of sea delicacies, the "butter fish."—Bermuda Colonists. -"Soft" Job for Constable.

"Georgie Tingo" is what "Tim" Donahue always called the patriotic young man, and sometimes the inspector would look glum and grim in discussing the youth, but as often he would end the yarn with a good na- Uired chuckle in spite of himself. In the passenger list of the big Dcean liner which the patriotic young man boarded at Southampton bound for New York he was listed as Samuel Maryland Mapes—a name that fairly waved and snapped like a star spangled banner in a breeze. And Patrick Henry, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Nathan Hale all rolled Into one could have produced no greater patriot than Samuel Maryland Mapes—"named right after my Uncle Sam" he told a score of the passengers before the ship had been three hours out of Southampton. "Ah! gentlemen," cried young Mr. Mapes in the smoking room the very first night out as he lifted hjs champagne glass high, "drink with me to my country—I hope you are all so fortunate as to be able to call it your country—to the United States!" He srulped down the toast and immediately held out his glass to the waiter for replenishment. "I drink again!" be continued, "to home—home— HOME! Holy mackerel, how I long for the United States! It's two years Bince I waved a gay hand in farewell to Liberty ,ih New York harbor. Walt till we get back? You'll have to hold me on the deck, gentlemen, when we pass her, for I feel capable of leaping off the boat and landing right on the dear old girl's bronze shpul- 3er—bee-lieve me!" "The guv'nor gave me three years to travel in. Two's been enough— plenty for anybody who's got the United States for a permanent home and New York for a playground." The young man brought his voice to a more moderate key and changed the clutch on the speed of his conversation; at the same time rounding with his glance several wealthy old » gentlemen who were looking with in- 6 dulgent consideration on his highspiritedness. "I'm so glad to be homeward bound my pulse is beating about ninety above normal. I know mother and my sisters will be dreadfully disappointed. I know they are expecting me to come back with a sassy little French mustache .sticking on my Hp and my legs held "light in narrow English pants, and maybe they're expecting a single pane of glass in my face and a top hat pushed down over my ears." "All I want to do is get back; pick out my sweet Amerian girl; sit in at a desk as nearly next to father as the old gentleman will permit; get Into the game; put on my hustling clothes and wave* the good old star Bpangled banner till the gong rings." When he said that, two of the aforesaid old gentlemen were moved to arise and slap him on the back and announce: "Good boy! That's the talk! That's the stuff! You're the right kind of an American." And one of them said further: "Your dad ought to be proud of you." "I'm proud of him!" replied young Mr. Mapes. "I haven't got any use for a belted earl or duke or a prince —no, not even a gosh-blamed king as a father—or anything else. My old dad—a straight American business man and gentleman—he's plenty good enough for me." Both the old gentlemen were so overcome at this point that they simultaneously called to the steward to fetch more champagne. And even a red-faced Englishman, withja stringless monocle maintained quite marvelously in his eye, accepted a glass. He observed with a good-humored smile that the lad had "no end of cheek/' but declared that patriotism even of young Mr. Mapes' violent brand was most pardonable on any •tad all occasions *ad graciously lifted his glass as one of the old gentlemen cried: 'A toast to Mr.—Mr. V "Samuel Maryland Mapes! "Samuel Maryland Mapes of—of?—" "The U. S. A.!" replied the gay young patriot. "Samuel Maryland Mapes of the U. S. A.!" declared the toastmaster, and young Mr. Mapes bowed low. It was as "Samuel Maryland Mapes, U. S. A.," also that he was listed on the roster of the ship's passengersno town or city of residence given— just "U. S. A." Now, not only did young Mr. Mapes win favor among the "Yankees" of the smoking room set, but though irrepressible and with his patriotism always to the fore, he nevertheless captivated the American matrons and American girls aboard. When the ship was within two days of port it became palpable that the young patriot simply could not stand the nervous strain of the anticipation of once more stepping upon the soil of the land of his adoration He began to, cause the head steward worry—for fear the Champagne wouldn't hold out. He sent champagne to the American ladies with little American flags on tiny staffs set in tiny corks floating over the bubbles; forty times in the smoking room he lifted a glass and burst into patriotic song. ^ The pretty girls and the matrons were saddened to hear of these excessive indulgences. So, although young Mr. Mapes paced the deck that morning and afternoon looking a trifle glum, and subdued, the greetings from all sources were as cordial as ever— even when it was rumored that the last night at sea he hadn't gone to bed at all, but had sat up with a wine bottle in one hand and the flag of his country tied turban-wise around his flushed brow, absolution was still accorded him and no social bars fell athwart his path. No—not in spite of the fact that the next morning, with Fire Island in sight, Samuel Maryland Mapes gave every indication of keeping his spree goin^. He was everywhere along the deck, shouting, laughing. "Home—home—home!" he shouted repeatedly, and did a sort of combination fandango and Cakewalk the length of the shore-sio>/promenade He almost had a fit of hysterics when off the Fire Island reefs the big liner settled down to a very much reduced speed. Everybody winked and smiled at everybody else and turned indulgently only when they heard him yell: "Oh, what a bully idea! What a peach of a notion! Hooray!" The patriot rushed off the promenade and for a few minutes quiet had an inning on the deck. But only for a few minutes. With his arms loaded with bottles of wine, Samuel Maryland Mapes came back. There was an added decoration on the corks of the bottles. On each was sticking a little American flag. "These," cried out Mr. Mapes, tJ. S. A., "are for the tery first American I meet on the pier—whoever he or she may be^-the jsr^ry first real sure enough male or female citizen of the United States—without respect of race, color or previous condition of servitude that I bump Into will get these bottles—four of fem—•and each one decorated with the dear old flag." Suddenly one of the passengers turned to Mapes and laughed as he pointed to an old, battered oyster sloop with a big, dirty white sail that was calmly sailing along beside the great ocean steamship and owing to the reduced speed of the liner Just then was able to hold her own. "Does he get the wine?" asked this passenger, pointing out the old sharpfeatured skipper at the sloop's tiller. And a pretty girl nearby said: "He's American, I guess. The name of his boat, she volunteered, scanning the sloop's stern, "is the 'Mabel, Rockaway, L. I.'" "Well, you "know I said the first American I should meet on the pier," said Mapes. "Oh!" interjected a passenger, "you're backing out!" "I should say not!" cried Mapes it flushed indignation, "only let me bt sure he's an American and you bet your life he gets the wine!" Many eyes were turned then on the man in the sloop. He was a sparse, hook-nosed, grizzled man under whose straggly mustache an old black pipe thrust itself forward. "Ahoy, there, Mabel!" yelled Samue! Maryland Mapes; "ahoy, there, skipper!" "Ahoy yourself," said the man with the black pipe, none too cordially. "Would you mind telling me youi name?" pursued Mapes. "Ralph Smith. Why?" "Are you an American?" "What?" "Are you an American?" "I guess I am, sonny. I guess I was before you was born. So was my great-grandfather!" ] "Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue!" yelled Mr. Mapes. "Well, Mr. Smith, I'm tickled to death to meet you—to meet any American!" he went on, and waved enthusiastically as the man with the black pipe expressed a dry smile and negotiated his sloop somewhat closer to the liner. "And Mr. Smith, here are four bottles of wine. Here goes! Catch*'em!" For all his experiences of the past two days, young Mr. Mapes threw the first bottle with admirable aim. Skipper Ralph Smith as neatly caught it. But even if he hadn't, the bottle probably would have landed safelv enough on the pile of jute bags at the sailor's feet. 'Smack!" wejrt the second bottle as accurately into Captain Smith's hands. And the third and the fourth the same. So that-when a petty officer ran up to warn Samuel Maryland Mapes that It was against the marine law to pass anything off the ship until it had left quarantine and the customs, Skipper Smith hall all four bottles In his possession and was bowing with one hand and working the tiller to tack away from the steamship with the other, the wine bottle$: \ik his lap. 'Tm really very;jiorry," young Mr. Mapes explained, ''but I was quite ignorant of the regulations." • • • • * . "It wasn't till seven years afterward," Tim Donahue would tell you, "that I found out about the young man who worked up his patriotism all the way over for the neat purpose Of tossing those bottles with American flags on them to the first fellow citizen he should meet when the ship got Into the harbor. Those bottles contained about $150,000 worth of contraband gems. Of course, Skipper 'Ralph Smith' was 'Georgie Jingo's pal. He was a slick one, too. He ought to have called that old sloop the eel.

CAME FROM FARM Utility Girl W a s Also From Country, and Became Wife of Good Customer. By SUSANNE GLENN. Lucy Lane was a sort of utility girl at Madam Lorimer's establishment. Most of her time was spent in the back room ripping trimmings from hats that needed altering, or changing the length of garments. Lucy did not often get a chance to wait on customers. Her face was too thin and colorless to be pretty, and she wore unlovely, serviceable dresses; Madam liked to have everything in her establishment exquisitely sweet and attractive. But Lucy did not complain. She was only too thankful for the situation as it stood, anu wondered why Madame kept her at all. She was too modest to realize the value of her painstaking service. She was thankful, to, for her miserable little hall-bedroom, because she had always been able to keep her room to herself. But even with this fund of "thankfulness" at her command, Lucy would have had a hard time if it had not been for her dreams! When the back room or the hallbedroom became insufferably hot and breathless, she dreamed about the green grass, the waving trees, the refreshing breezes of her beloved country where she had spent early years of her life. When the rumble of drays .arid the crash of cars made her head throb, she dreamed of the drowsy afternoons filled with the droning of bees and crickets, and the croaking of frogs at twilight. When her fingers were blue with cold, she dreamed of the crackling of fragrant wood fires and the warmth of yellow lamplight. Then, quite unexpectedly one day, a new impetus was added to them. She was standing near the front door waiting for a dress that needed altering, when a man entered and looked about uncertainly. The face above his neat, white collar was ruddy from sun and wind, with a white band across the forehead where his hat gave protection. Everything about him, from his finer steady eyes to his easy, plain suit of gray wool spoke to Lucy of the country, and when their eyes met, she smiled unconsciously, as upon a friend. "Can you wait on me?" inquired the man, stepping forward. "One of the other girls will know more about things," suggested Lucy, modestly. wBut I prefer you," he smiled. '-'You see, I'm not just sure what I do want, and I know you will not laugh at me. It may seem ridiculous, but do you know it is very disconcerting to be laughed at under such circumstances?" "I promise you not to laugh," said Lucy. "Now tell me what you wish'.' "All sorts of things for a baby a year old. Yes, everything, he seems to be about out of everything. Yes, he lives in the country, and needs Just everyday thlng3, you know. And not too many white things—his mother is pretty busy!" Lucy smiled, and made suggestions. The man bought lavishly, "There, I think that will do," he agreed at last. "I naver would have thought about his outgrowing them. Now, ar couple of suits for dress-up, and I guess it will do. Never had Lucy made up a box with greater care. She almost felt like crawling under the cover herself for the sake of getting back to the country. That evening she was happy thinking about the baby with his store of new things. The autumn wind that rattled the loose frame of her window so dismally would make music in the chimney before which the mother would be trying on the little garments. To Lucy's delight, the man came again to Madame Lorimer's. She was in the back room, bent almost double over a bit of dark sewing in the dim autumn afternoon, but he asked for her, and Madame called her, well pleased. "It is the little girl this time/* he said. "She is four years old and rather small for her age. I wanted to bring her along, but her mother thought it was too cold. I came to you again, because you did so well by me before—the little fellow has looked as fine as a king all winter!" Lucy flushed witu pleasure and excitement while she picked out sensi* ble little rompers and gingham frocks and stout stockings, followed by the dainty white frocks and frilly petticoats dear to every child's heart. "You had better tell me your name." suggested the man, as he prepared to leave. "I'm liable to have to come again, and I'd like to know >hom to ask for. My name is Richard Falkuer." "I used to know ot Falkners when Mived In the country," said Lucy, giving her name; "1 suspect, then," said Faikuer, "you must belong to the. ^aytead-^rner Lanes?" And they proceeded to get very well acquainted indeed. Occasionally through the winter Falkner came for something for the two children. Occasionally an old ^neighbor of Lucy's found ihe way Jn. following his directions. V None of this escaped the eagle eye of Madame Lorimer. Could it be there was the making of a saleslady In her plain, little utility girl? With the New Year, Lucy's pay envelope had an increase sufficient to warrant a.C prettier gown, and she spent less time in the^baek room. Yet Lucy was strangely unhappy. Her dreams of the country brought an unaccountable ache to her heart She felt a dread of Beeing Falkner. His presence had once seemed-the;only link between her and her old, happy life. , Lucy felt tired, too. Perhaps was the added responsibility and. excitement of the front, room. Month by month her improved appearance spoke of the increase in her wages. But with all her prosperity, the girl's face held the same kind look that made people trust her. Lucy stood near the front door the night before Easter, watching the weary girls returning from their hasty suppers. The rush for the past week had been almost intolerable. She did not notice Falkner's entrance, until he spoke, close beside her. \ , • • "Good evening. Why, you are so fine, Miss Lane, I hardly knew you!" Lucy tried to smile as she inquired what he wished. "Nothing for the children this time. I have decided that their mother ought to have her chance this trip. Don't all the ladies like new bonnets and things at Easter time. Miss Lucy?" Lucy's courage faltered for an instant. Then she sensibly remembered that she was first of all saleslady for Madame Lorimer! "I should say that anything you can wear would just about fit her. And_ you'll just have to go ahead by yourself; I am more at sea than I was with the children's fixings." The girl mechanically made a selection of serviceable garments that she though suited a busy, country wornah. "Now the 'bonnet,'" she said, smiling. "Try them on," commanded Falknet admiringly. "But pick out something sober—she isn't a Very lively Woni an any more." "But she must be a very happy one," exclaimed Lucy, imperiously. "Why do you think that?" "How could she help being With two dear little children, ahd & pood home, and—so kind a husbatid." Hot voice trailed off, miserably. "But that Is just exactly what she doesn't have. He is worse than a failure -as a husband, if he is my.,, own brother. And her home is about as poor as you can imagine. But she sticks by him for some unaccountable reason. I try to do what I can for her. Why, Lucy, did you think—" He paused and looked into her flushed, embarrassed face. "And tell me, dear, did you care?" He crushed her hand^ln his own, tc the immediate peril of the 'sober' lit tie hat she was holding. "I—I—" "Listen," he said, In a matter-of-fact voice, "this Isn't much of a time oi place to tell you what I wish to—-but I'm going to risk it. "Lucy, I came especially to ask you to come home with me. . I've dreamed all winter what life would be like with you. Will you marry me, tomorrow?" She looked deep Into his eyes. "And now," be said with a happy, laugh, "let's pick out your Easter bonnet—dear!" (Copyright, 1913, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Mixed Metaphors. The British house of commons it never so amused as when a membei is betrayed, in his enthusiasm, into a mixed metaphor. Mr. Balfour, some time ago, spoke of "an empty theitei of unsympathetic auditors," while Lord Curzon remarked that "though not out of the wood, we have a good ship." Sir William Hart Dyke ha* told how Mr. Lowther "had caught a big fish in his net, and went to the top of the tree for it," while a flnan cial minister assured the commons that "the steps of the government should go hand In hand with the in terests of the manufacturer." A n d it was in the lords that the government was warned that "the constitutional rights of the people were being tram* pled upon by the mailed hand of at* thority." Not for Him.

There was rather less activity in the deck-games now that the ship was fairly In the tropics; the demand for iced-drinks became abnormal and the lengthy menu at lunch and dinner was rather slighted. People wanted to get back to their chairs on deck, for on one side at least there was something approaching a breeze. A great many pej>ple slept at night in their chairs or had the mattresses brought up from their bunks and spread on the deck. In the cabins, especially those which got no breeze at all, in spite of electric fane, the atmosphere was like that of a very warm conservatory. In the bathrooms the cold shower had become lukewarm and the moment you left the water you felt the desire to bathe again. Dressing for dinner was a torment, but it was a torture to which everyone submitted.

There was a lively scene on the Jetty. It appeared as if half the in* habitants of the place had come down to greet us. Some 6t the Fijians were black but the skin of others was surprisingly light. All of them had fair hair, for, like so many other South Sea islanders, they bleach it with coral lime The hair stood' up straight and stiff from their heads and as if to modify the fierce appearance that this gives to them some of the men had stuck in the front of their hair a single flower. Besides the Fijians . there were a great number of Indians who had come over to the islands to work in the sugar plantations. Samoans Dance. Before our ship sailed there came on board a party of Samoan dancers. Why the Fijians did not entertain us I did not discover, but as spectators they made a picturesque background to the dancers. The Samoan men were dressed in cerise silk shirts and bright lava-lava ' A NATIVE, fiOAT eeived a finishing touch from the punkahs which swung over the tables. It rained a great deal. But the storms, which came up quickly and burst over the ship and swept on, did not cool the air. They served only to add to the general moisture and to make everyone rather more sticky. They were aerial storms that hardly affected the ocean. Fair Voyage. From Sydney to Auckland and from New Zealand till now, when we were approaching the .Fijian islands, tie voyage had been fair. There bad been no day of storms; all tbe same It bad not been such a passage over smiling seas as we had pictured Near to New Zealand we had seen albatrosses and, on the horizon, a school of whales; but for some days the only living things to watch had been the flying fishes, darting on gossamer wings over the water. Not a ship had been sighted and it really seemed astonishing that our captain was to steer us ^through the region of the South Sea islands—as numerous, according to our little map of the world, as the stars In the heavens— and give us sight of only one or two Islands in a single group! We had never really realized that the distance between Fiji and the Marquesas Islands, fdr instance, was roughly the same as between San Francisco and Philadelphia; that the whole of Australia could be dropped between them; that there wefe Islands in the Ftti group more than two bw«4r«4 wiles apart or kilts; the heads and shoulders of the women were covered with wreaths and decorations of flowers that hung over their gay costumes. At first the girls took no part in tbe dance, though they clapped their hands and joined in the musical chanting. The men squatted in a double row on the deck, clapping their hands, striking their thighs, going through a rhythmical series of motions with their arms, their heads, their whole bodies. Then they swung round and one behind another as in their native canoes they swung their bodies in perfect time chanting louder and louder. Suddenly two of tbe girls sprang to their feet and began a low -sensuous d*nce, putting their heads on one side, biting their Mips and swaying their bodies, moving more and more rapidly. When they sank to the ground the men recommenced. The dancers went on shore; on the jetty native constables were arresting a number of boys who had been diving for coins from the end of the pier; the ship backed out slowly into the lagoon.

A collection from different sources is almost autobiographical Between the lines one may estimate the amount of income, the sise of the family, the character of their enter* taining, and to some extent the mental caliber of the writer. One person may be habitually extravagant in the use of eggs and butter, another is conspicuously stingy. The house* keeper, cooking for a large family, gives directions on such an ample scale that the bride is appalled. Some cooks run to the elaborate and fussy, and and others restrict themselves to the easiest and simplest dishes. Some evidently cater to delicate stomachs, and show in their selections that there are invalids and children at their table. Others seem to revel in delicious indigestibles. As to the form in which a recipe is given, the writer shows plainly whether £he is systematic and methodical or careless and haphazard. The order in which ingredients are put together and a careful measurement of the materials are indispensable features of a recipe. Nothing is so discouraging to a beginner as the vague reference to "flour enough for a stiff dough/1 or "milk enough for a thin batter." The housekeeper whose pantry shelves are kept in good order is apt to write a neat and exploit recipe. The knack is worth acquiring.

As a summer cottage, whether located in the mountains, on the edge of a forest or by lake or river, the graceful, informal lines of the bungalow seem to adapt themselves Ideally to their environment. When contrasted with the oldtime, box-like, jig-saw ornamented affairs that were known as summer cot tages, the improvement is very apparent Commenting on this matter, the well-known architect, Wilson Byre, brings out some valuable points in a recent number of Country Life in America. His contention is that the bungalow fad is carrying us to architectural extremes that are not good for domestic architecture in general. As a style for general suburban use the bungalow appears to be misused and is generally objectionable when so used. As already mentioned, it has its place and purpose; first, as a weekend or summer retreat it forms an ideal contrast to our more pretentious, over-luxurious dwellings; second, it is a harmonious building for an informal location; third, when an inexpensive structure is desired the bungalow offers the maximum comfort and beauty for the minimum cost. Because the bungalow is so widely misused and misunderstood, it may be well to try to answer the question, What is a bungalow? and to analyze so dismally out of place as a fad that has ceased to be. There is another fact regarding the bungalow which has become current and that is that a one-story house is cheaper to build, and In other ways more economical than a two-story house. The increased expense of floors and roof counter-balance, however, the less expense of the wall. Plumbing and lighting are but little cheaper, if any; and because the structure is spread out it is not as easy to heat as its advocates would have us believe. Moreover, the bungalow takes up more ground than a two story house of the same number of rooms, which is a matter for consideration while land is costly and building lots small. In India the bungalow proved to be the best solution of the heat problem; not because a low, broad roof produces a cool house by any means, hut because the wide overhang of the eavos broke the glare of the intense sunshine. Bungalow rooms are not likely to be as cool as the first floor rooms of a well-ventilated two-story hoase. Doubtless there is a reason for the popularity of the bungalow style in southern California and Florida. It is always summer there. Yet this authority believes that the residents of Pasadena and Los Angeles are not quite on the right track when they build whole streets of low, broad, heavy-eaved affairs that are just now "in fashion." However, he has a good word to say for the bungalow when it is in its right place. To his mind, the bungalow should be not only a one-story house, but a very simple, informal one-story house. It is a style for the woods its real purpose in the general scheme of American home building. The term bungalow is one which Is variously applied to rustic camps, to one-story seaside cottages, low, broad one-story dwellings and even to two* story houses built on broad, extended lines with a low pitch to the root It is not, however, properlv used when applied, as is so often done, to houses and the seaside, for the place where rest and not luxury are sought It should be free from architectural embellishments, simply furnished, adapted to hot weather. For these purposes the bungalow Is a vast improvement over the average log camp or the usual jig-saw cottage of the seaside resort. It is graceful in line and suggests comfort Because it is intended to be informal, it does not demand expensive construction or finish. If one has only a small amount of money to spend, one can undoubtedly secure greater grace and beauty of outline by placing all the rooms on one floor, than by piling them up on top of each other. A five-room, twostory house built for $1,500 or $2,000 must necessarily be a plain, uncompromising cubical box. If these same five rooms were to be grouped on one floor, the unpleasant square proportions are avoided, the angle of the roof becomes more pleasing and the whole effect more graceful, with no additional cost A very good illustration of what Is meant by this is shown In the accompanying perspective and plan. This is a five-room cottage, 30 feet 6 inches in width by 40 feet 6 Inches long. It has been successfully built for $2,000. It is appropriate not only for summer cottage use, but also for rural or suburban site where a small, home-like dwelling is desired for use the year 'round. It has just a suggestion of the bungalow style, just enough to give it attractiveness without making it look out of place. having livable rooms in tbe second story. This authority does not believe in general in tbe one-story house for an all year dwelling. It Is a fad which, like -nlssion furniture is being much overdone.

It was not difficult to get on his track, even though the village people were constitutionally reluctant to let any unnecessary information get away from them. A mile or so farther up the shore, beyond the road that ran like a scar across the hill to the granite quarry, Chamberlain came upon a saloon masquerading as a grocery store. A lodging house, a seaman's bethel and the reading room were grouped near by; the telegraph office, too, had been placed at this end of the town; obviously for the convenience of the operators of the granite quarry. The settlement had the appearance of easy-going and pleasant industry peculiar to places where handwork is still the rule. Chamberlain applied first at the gro* eery store without getting satisfaction. The foreign looking boy, who was the only person visible, could give him no information about anything. But at the reading room the erstwhile yacht owner was known. Borrowing money is a sure method of impressing one's personality. The Frenchman had been in the neighborhood two or three days, latterly becoming very impatient for a reply to his New York telegram. A good deal of money had been applied for, was the opinion of the moneylender. This person, caretaker and IIbrarian, was a tall, ineffective individual, with eyes set wide apart. His slow speech was a mixture of Dr. Johnson and a judge in chancery. It was grandiloquent, and it often took long to reach the point. He Informed Chamberlain, with some circumlocution, that the Frenchman had been extremely anxious over the telegram. "I tried to persuade him that It was useless to be impatient over such things/' said he. "And I regret to say that the man allowed himself to become profane." "I dare say." "But it would appear that b* has received his telegram by this time," continued the youth, "for it is now but a short time since he was summoned to the' station;" Chamberlain, thinking that the sooner he got to the telegraph station the better, was about to depart, when the placid tones of the librarian again casually broke the silence. "If I mistake not, the gentleman in question is even now hastening to-! ward the village." He waved a vague hand toward the open door through which, a little distance away, a man's figure could be seen. '/Why don't you run after him and Set your money?" asked Chamberlain; utfce didn't know the youth. "What good would that do?" was the surprising question, which Chamberlain could not answer. But the Englishman acted on a different principle. He thanked the Ju<Jge Jn qhancery and made after the Frenchman, who was casting a furtive eye in this and that direction, as It ? ^ o s „ e l ^ l h ^ 1¾!! ll r ^ I " s ? £ w ! the higher tides. Near the main village the road ascended a rather steep bluff, and at the top made a sudden turn toward the town. As Chamberlain approached this point, he yielded more and more to the beauty of the scene. The Bay of Charlesport, the rugged, curving outline of ttye coast beyond, the green islands, the glistening sea, the blue crystalline sky over all—it was a sight to remember. Not far from the land, at the near end of the harbor, was the Sea Gull, pulling at her mooring. A stone's throw beyond Chamberlain's feet, a Small rocky tongue of land was prolonged by a stone breakwater, which sheltered the curved beach of the village from the rougher waves. Close up under the bluff on which he was standing, the Waters of the bay churned and foamed against a steep rock wall that shot downward to unknown depths. It was obviously a dangerous place, though the road was unguarded 6> fence or railing. Only a delicate fringe of goldenrod and low juniper bushes veiled the treacherous cliff edge. It was almost Impossible for a traveler, unused to the region, to pass across the dizzy stretch of highway without a shuddering glance at the murderous waves below. On the crest of this cliff, each of the two men paused, one following the other at a little distance. The first man, however, paused merely for a few minutes'-rest after the steep climb. Chambertain, hardened to physical exertions, took the hill easily, but stood for a moment lost in speculative wonder at the scene. He kept a sharp eye on his leader, however, and presently the two men took up their Indian file again toward the village. ' . . ^ » ' '- Some distance farther on, the road forked, one spfr leading up over the steep rugged hill, another dropping abruptly to the main village street and the wharves. A third branch rah low athwart the hill and led, finally, to the summer hotel where Chamber- 'lain and the Reyniers had been staying. At this division of the road Chamberlain saw the other man ahead ot him sitting on a stone. He approached him leisurely and assumed an air of business sagacity. "Good day, sir," said Chamberlain, planting himself solidly before the man on the stone. He was rather large, blond, pale and unkempt in appearance; but nevertheless he carried an air of insolent mockery, it seemed to Chamberlain. He glanced disgustedly at the Englishman, but did not reply. "Rather warm day," remarked Chamberlain pleasantly. No answer. The man sat with his head propped on his hands, unmistakably in a bad temper. "Want to buy some land?" inquired Chamberlain. "I'm selling off lots on this hill for summer eottages. Water front, dock privileges, and a guaranty that no one shall build where, it will shut off your view. Terns reasonable. T4ke to buyTV "Non!" snarled the other. Chamberlain paused in his imaginative flight, and took two luscious yellow pears from his bulging pockets, ' "Have a pear?" he pleasantly offered. The man again looked up, as if tempted, but again ejaculated "Non!" Chamberlain leisurely took a satisfying bite. "I got tyredmyself/' he went on, "tramping over these country roads. But it's the best way lor me to do business. You don't happen to want a good hotel, do you?" Coarse fare and the discomforts of beggars' lodgings had tfcld on. the Frenchman's, temper, as Chamberlain had surmised. He looked ytp with a show of human interest. Chamberlain went on. ^ • / - /..,/ \ "There^ a ftni hotel, the Hillside, over yonder, o n ^ a mile or so jiway. Best place in i l l , the region "hereabouts; tip-topping set* there. f%o. Count 8ome-body^^ Germany, .and no end of bigwigs; so of course they have a good cook." Chamberlain .paused and finished his second pear.; The man on the stone was furtive and uneasy, but masked his disquiet with the Insolent sneering manner that had often served him well. Chamberlain, having once adopted the role of a garrulous traveling salesman, followed it up with seat. "Of course, a man can get a good meal, for that matter, at the red house, a little way up yonder over the hill. But it wouldn't suit a man like you—a slow, poky place, with no style." The man on-the stone slowly turned toward Chamberlain, and at last found voice for more than monosyllabic utterances. "I was looking for a hotel," he said, in correct English but with a foreign accent, "and I shall be glad to take your advice. The Hillside, you Bay, is in this direction?" and he pointed along the lower road. h "Yes," heartily assented Chamber* lain, "about two miles through those woods, and you won't make any mistake going there; it's a very good place." The man got up from the stone. "And the other inn you spoke of— where is that?" "The Red House? That's quite a long piece up over the hill—this way. Straight road; house stands near a church; kept by a country woman named Sallie. But the 'Hillside's the place for you; good style, everything neat and handsome. And fine people!" "Very well, thanks " cut in the oth er, in his sharp, rasping tones. "I shall go to the Hillside." ' He slid one hand into a pocket, as if to assure himself that he had not been robbed by sleight-of-hand dur ing the interview, and then started on the road leading to the Hillside. Chamberlain said "Good day, sir," without expecting or getting an answer, and turned the hill toward the village. As soon as he had dropped from sight, however, he walked casually into the thick bushes that lined the road, and from this ambush he took a careful survey of the hill behind him, Then he slowly and cautiously made his way back through the underbrush until he was again in sight of the cross roads. Here, concealed behind a tree, he waited patiently some five or ten minutes. At the end of that time, Chamberlain's mild and kindly face lighted up with unholy Joy. He opened his mouth and emitted a soundless "haw-haw." For there was his recent companion also returning to the cross roads, taking a discreet look in the direction of the village as he came along. Seeing that the coast was clear, he turned and went rapidly up the road that led over the hill to the old red house. When Chamberlain saw that the man was well on his way he stepped into the road and solemnly danced three steps of a hornpipe, and the next Instant started on a run toward the village. He got little Simon's horse and buggy, drove into the upper street and picked up the sheriff, and then trotted at a good rattling pace around by the long road toward Ilion. CHAPTER XX. Monsieur Chatelard Takes the Wheel. Sallie Kingsbury would have given up the ghost without more ado, had she known what secular and unministerial passions were converging about Parson Thayer's peaceful library. As it was, she had a distinct feeling that life wasn't as simple as it had been heretofore, and that there were puzzling problems to solve. She was almost certain that she had caught Mr. Hand using an oath; though when she charged him with it, he had said that he had been talking Spanish to himself— he always did when he was alone. Sallie didn't exactly know answer to that, but told him tha hoped he would remember thai bhe was a professor. "What's that?" quired Hand. "It's a Christian in good and rigu lar standing, and it's what you ouj&ht to be," said Sallie. And now that nice Mr. Chamber lain, whom she had fed in the early morning, had dashed up to tha kitchen door behind Little Simon's best horse, deposited a man from Charlesport, and then had disappeared. The mat! had also unceremoniously left her kitchen. He might be a minister brought there to officiate at the church on the following Sabbath, Sallie surmised; but on second thought she dismissed the idea. He didn't look like any minister she had ever seen, and was very far Indeed from the Parson PThayer type. = Hercules Thayer's business, including his ministerial duties, had formed the basis and staple of Sallie's affectionate, interest for seventeen years, and it wasn't her nature to give up that interest,, now that the chief actor had -stepped from the stage. So she Speculated and wondered, while she iid more thah her share of the work, i She picked radishes from the garden tor supper, threw white screening over the imposing loaves of bread stift cool* ing on the side table, and was sharp* ening a knife on a whetstone, preparatory to carving thin slices from a veal loaf that jitood near byr.when she was accosted by some ono appearing in the doorway. "Is this the Red Hous^r < It cool, sharp voice, •bunding even more outlandish than Mr. Bead's- Sallie turned deliberately toward the door and surveyed the ijeweoiper. "Well, yes; I guess so. But you don't need to scare the daylights outer me, that way." The stranger entered the kitchen and pulled out a chair from the table. "Give me something to eat and drink —the best you have, and be quick about it, too." Sallie paused, carving knife in hand, looking at him with frank curiosity. "Well, I snumi You ain'ratte new minister either, now, are you?" The stranger made no answer. He had thrown himself into the chair, as if tired. Suddenly he |at up and looked around alertly, then, at Sallie, who was returning his gate with interest. "Where are you from, anyway?" she inquired. "We don't see people like you around these parts very often." "I dare say," he snarled. "Are you going to get me a m*al, or must I tramp over these confounded hills all day be^ore^i lean e a t r "Qh, 111 get you up a bite, if that's all you want I never turned anybody away hungry ir<6& this door yet, and we've had many a worse looking tramp than you. I guess Miss Redmond won't mind." "Miss Redmond!" The stranger started to his feet, glowering oh Sallie. "Look here! Is this place a hotel, or isn't it?" "Well, anybody'*; think it was, the way I've been driven from pillar to post for the last ten days! But you can stay; I'll get you a meal, and a good one, too." .-.. Bailie's good nature was rewarded by a convulsion of anger on the part of the guest. "Fool! Idiot!" he screamed. "You tric% me In here! You lie to me!" "Oh, set down, set down I" interrupted Sallie. "You don't need to get so het up as all that! I'll get you something to eat. There ain't any hotel within five miles of here—and a poor one at that!" Thus protesting and attempting to Soothe, Sallie saw the stranger make a grab for his hat and start for the door, only to find it suddenly shut and locked in his face. Mr. Chamberlain, moreover, was on the inside, facing the foreigner. "If you will step though thtjiouse and go out the other way/: Mr. Chamberlain remarked coolly, %t will oblige me. My horse is loose in the yard, .and I'm afraid you'll scare him off. He's shy with strangers." The two men measured glances. "I thought you travelled afoot when pursuing your real estate business,1" sneered the stranger. - "1 do, when It suits my purposes," replied Chamberlain, "What game are you up to, anyway, in this disgusting country?" Inquired the other. "Ridding it of rascals. This way. please;" and Chamberlain pointed before him toward the door leading into the hall. As the stranger turned, his glance fell on Sallie, still carving her veal loaf. "Idiot!" he said disgustedly. "Well, I haven't been caught yet, anyhow," said Sallie grimly. Chamberlain's voice interrupted her. "This way,, and then the first door on the right. Make haste, if you please, Monsieur Chatelard." ^ At the name, the stranger turned, standing at bay, but Chamberlain was at his heels. "You see, I know your name. It was supplied me at the reading room. Here-^on the r i g h t - quickly!" The hall w&s dim, almost dark,..the only light coming from the open doorway on the right. Whether he wished or no, Monsieur Chatelard was forced to advance Into the range ot the doorway; and once there; he found himself pushed unceremoniously into the room. It was a large, cool room; lined with bookcases. Near the middle stood an oblong table covered with green felt and supporting an old brass lamp Four people were in the room, besides the two new-comers, Aleck Van Camp was on a low step-ladder, Just in the act of handing down a book from the top shelf. Near the step-ladder two women were, standing, with their backs tdwafd the dbdr. feoih were In white, bdth' w«*r% tall; totf^ttf had abundant dark hair. One of the French windows leading out on to the porch was open, and Just within the sill stood the man from Charlesport "Here's a wonderful book—a tore* one—the record of that famous Latin controversy," Aleck was laying, when he became conscious of the entrance of Chamberlain and a stranger. "Ah, hello, Chamberlain, that you?" he cried. Agatha and Melanie, turning suddenly to greet Chamberlain, simultaneously encountered the gimlet gaze of Chatelard. | t was fixed first on Melanie, then on Agatha, then feturtcd to Melanie with an added increment of rage an* teafflement. "So!" he sneered, find yon after all, Princess Augusta Sttiihlnle of Krolveta! Consorting With thdsew these swine vw Melanie looked at him keenly, with hesitating suspicions. "Ah! Dukev Stephen's cat's paw! I remember you^weil!" But. before the wordsl r were fairly put of her .mouth, Agatha^ vptce had :cul i n : - M r . Van Cai that is he! That is he! .The man 6i the Jeanne D'Arc!" "We thought as much,"v answered Chamberlain. "That's why he is here," "We only wanted your confirmation of his identity," said the mm who had been standing by the window, as he r came forward. "Monsieur Chatelard; you are*tb come with me. I am the sheriff of Charlesport county, and have a warrant for your arrest/' As the sheriff advanced toward Chatelard, the cornered man turned on him with a sound that was half hiss, • halt an oath. He was like a panther ; standing at bay. Aleck turned toward Melanie. "It seems that you know this man* Melanie?" "Yes, I know him—to my sorrow.11 "What do you know of him?" "He is the paid spy of the Duke Stephen, my cousin. He does all his dirty work." Melanie laughed a bit * nervously as she added, turning to ; Chatelard: "But you are the laaj , man I expected to see here. I sup* pose you are come from my excellent cousin to find me, eh? Is that the case?" Chatelard's eyes, resting on her, burned with hate. "Yes, your High* , ness. I am the humble bearer ot a message from Duke Stephen to your*, self." "And that message is—" • . "^command tor your immediate re-;. turn to Krolv|JzV-Matters of im)por*- tance Wait you there." "And if I refuse to return?" Chatelard's shoulders went up and his hands spread out in that Insolent; gesture affected by certain Europeans. Chamberlain stepped forward impatiently. > "Look here, you people," he began, "you told me this chap was a bloomfh' kidnaper, and so I rounded him up— 1 nabbed him. And here you are ex* changin' howdy-do. What's the mean* ing of it all?" s As he spoke, Chamberlain's eyes rested first on Melanie, then oh Agatha, whom he had not seen before. "By Jove!" he ejaculated. "Whom did he kidnap?" questioned Melanie. "Why, me, Miss Reynier," cried Agatha. "He stole my car and drugged me and got me into his yacht' —heaven knows why!" 1 "Kidnaped! You!" cried Melanie. "Just so," agreed Aleck. "And now I see why—you scoundrel!" He turned upon Chatelard with contemptuous fury. "For once you were caught, eh? These ladles are much alike-*— that is true. So much so that I my* self was taken aback the first time{ I saw Miss Redmond. You thought Miss Redmond was the princess—masquerading as an opera singer." "Her Highness has always been ad* mired as a singer!" burst out Chatei lard. "No doubt! And even you Were de« ceived!" Aleck laughed in derision. "But when you take so serious a step as an abduction, my dear man, be sure you get hold of the right victim." "She was even singing the very song that used to be a favorite of her Highness!" remarked Chatelard. "Your memory^serves you too well." But Chatelard turned scofflngly toward Agatha. "You sang it well* Mademoiselle, very well. And, as this gentleman asserts, you deceived even me. But you are indiscreet to walk unattended in the park." Agatha, unnerved and weak, had grown pale with fear. "Don't talk with him, Mr. Van Camp* he is* dangerous. Get him away," shop pleaded. "True, Miss Redmond. We only waste time. Sheriff—" Again the sheriff advanced toward Chatelard, and again he was warned off with a hissing oath. At the same moment a shadow fell within the other doorway. As Chatelard's glance rest* ed on the figure standing there, his face gleamed. He pointed an accusing forefinger. "There is the abductor, if any such person 1b present at all," said he. "That is the man who stole the lady's car and ran it to the dock. He is your man, Mister Shbriff, not I." The accusation came ^ i t h such a tone of conviction on the part of the speaker* that for an instant it confused the mind of every one present. In the pause that followed, Chatelard turned with an Insolent shrug toward Agatha. "This lady—" and every word had a sneer in it—"this lady will testify that I am* right." Agatha stared with a tape of alarm toward the doorway,, where Hand stood stood silent. "If that is true, Miss Redmond," began the.sheriff. "No—no!" cried Agatha. "He had nothing to do with lit9 questioned the sheriff. (TO BE CONTINUED.) . • « Not Much Disconcerted.

CHARGE ON T H E COMMUNITY Care of Those Afflicted With* Tuberculosis Plainly a Draff on tha General Wflfart. Dr. H . L. Barnes, superintendent of the Rhode Island state sanitarium, has recently demonstrated by some interesting studies of patients discharged as "apparently cured" from that institution, that a sanatorium is a sound Investment for any state or city. The gross earnings of 170 expatients obtained in 1911 amounted to 8102,752, and those of 211 cases in 1912, to 8112,021. By applying the same average earnings to all ex-patients of the sanitarium living in 1911 and 1012, Dr. Barnes concludes that their Income in these two years was $551,000. This sum is more than three times the cost of maintenance ,pf the sanatorium, including interest/^ tour per cent on the original invejithjent and depreciation charges. Dr. Barnes concludes, however, "While institutions for the cure of tuberculosis are good investments, there Is good reason for thinking that institutions for the isolation of far advanced cases would be still better investments." BREAKING OUT ON L E G Hilltop, Kan.—"About two years ago I began to notice a breaking out on my leg. At first it was very small but soon it began to spread until it formed large blotches. The itching was terrible and almost constant Many nights I could not sleep at all. After scratching it to relieve the Itching it would burn so dreadfully that I thought I could not stand It. For nearly a year I tried all kinds of salves and ointment, but found no relief. Some salves seemed to make It worse until there were ugly sores, which would break open and run. "One day I saw an advertisement of Cuticura Remedies. I got a^ample of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and began by washing the sores with the Cuticura Soap, then applying the Cuticura Ointment twice a day. I noticed a change and got more Cuticura Soap and Ointment and in a few weeks I was cured. It has healed so nicely that no scar remains." (Signed) Mrs. Anna A. Lew, Dec. 17, 1911.

They coax tho liver into activity by gentle methods, they do not scour; they do not gripe; they do not weaken; but they do start all the secretions of the liver and atom* ach in a way that soon puts these organs in a healthy condition and corrects constipation. Munyon's Paw-Paw Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and nerves.

They can cut down the size of the the dollar, but it sounds just as uig. -- People who complained of spring fever a few days ago are recovering. New York has a new dance called the "paresis glide." This one is well named. Alaska has granted women the right to vote. Now all it needs is the women. There are persons still living who remember when there were four seasons to the year. . A Chicago spinster calls herself "Mrs." in this instance there being nothing in a name. The cubist gown is referred to as indescribable and the ensuing description proves it. What has become of the old-fash ioned baseball player who never waa an actor in the winter? In some cities the hospitals keep open house all night for the convenience of "joyriding" parties. Talking about the alleged corsst trust, there seems to be a demand that it be squeezed to death. One way to drive out the unclean songs would be to put musical and lit erary merit into the clean ones. The average woman can make up her face much easier than her mind— and it stays made up quite as long. Why do the great pianists and artists always feel of their faces while having their pictures taken? This discovery that some stars arc cold suggests similar discoveries made by variaus stage-door Johnnies. A man out of work won a prize for telling why he was jobless. This might sound promising, but 299 other men failed. A western man recently stole a house. Possibly he wanted to mortgage it so he could buy an automobile. There are very few exceptions to the rule that the city man who wants to go back on the farm never lived on one. A college professor who has not a vocabulary extensive enough to eliminate swear words , failed in his education. Paving oiled the tee and thrown the niblick into the third speed, the resolute golfer approaches the firing line. Now that men are wearing hats with the ribbon bow in the back, why not begin to year vests buttoned up the back? A physician declares that people should eat all the undigestible foods on the market. Newlyweds, please take notice! White a Chicago man was away from home the roof was stolen off his house. Another one of those cases of seeing stars.

A strike of the telephone operators of Greater Boston, threatened for the past few days, is averted by a compromise reached after a 48-hour con ference between representatives of the company and the union.

Prohibitive rentals are said to have been the chief cause for the decrease in the number of births,' Complaint Is made of the new nickel that it will not go into a slot. Therein it shows the reasoning power of inanimate things. It is suggested that babies' dresses be flreproofed. This system might be reinforced with a muzzle to prevent the eating of matches. The young woman who breaks her engagement to a young man because he is too successful certainly sets a new standard of eligibility.

Rawlings is a paralytic and lay helpless on a couch in one of the rooms when burning timbers overhead told him* of the fire. His cries for help were heard by his wife, who coolly lifted him onto a wheel chair, and unassisted, carried him down a steep stairway, along with their 5-year-old daughter, • through smoke which was suffocating.

Twenty years ago, a blond-haired young Swede, a boy of about 10 years of age, accompanied a party of his fellow-countrymen on the then long trip to Western Canada as an interpreter. The party he accompanied located at Wetaskiwin, Alberta, now one of the most thriving and best settled districts in Western Canada. For three years he remained in the district. Homesickness took him back to his home at Fitchburg, Mass., and he has remained there, for 17 years. He has heard frequently from his friends in the West. He has followed their movements and watched their progress. He has heard how the town he helped to establish has risen from a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk business center, with the surrounding country peopled now by thousands who are occupying the territory in which he was one of the first to help plant the colony of twenty or twentyfive. In his letter to an official of the Department of the Interior, he says: "When I was up in Canada, Calgary was a small town and so was Edmonton, but I understand they have grown wonderfully since." The young man when he 'went last learned a machine trade, he has patents and inventions but he wants to go to Canada again. And he likely will, but when he does he will find a greater change than he may expect. Calgary and Edmonton are large cities, showing marvelous and wonderful grdwth. Where but one line of railway made a somewhat tortuous and indefinite way across the plains to its mountain pass, there are three lines of railway dividing the trade of hundreds of thousands of farmers, carrying freight to the hundreds of towns and cities crossing and criss-crossing N the prairies in all directions, reaching out into new settlements, and preceding districts to be newly opened for incoming settlers. He will not be able to secure a homestead unless at a considerable distance from the town, the three dollar' an acre land is selling at from $15 to $35 an acre. He will find now what was but a theory then*, that this land that was then $3 an acre is worth the $30 or $35 that may be asked for It, and a good deal more. But he will find that he can secure a homestead just as good as any that were taken in his day, and today worth $35 an acre, but at some distance from a line of railway, yet with a certainty of railway in the near future, and he will find too that he can still get land at $15 to $18 an acre that will in a year or two be worth $30 or $35 an acre. Mr. Moseson is talking to his countrymen about Canada. Advertisement. \ All Fool's Day. When freakish April lifts the latch all wits and wags consider themselves free to vent their nonsense upon the victims whom they would fool by their tricks. The gay Parisian calls such "April fish;" in bonnie Scotland on this day they make merry "hunting the gowk," whilst in England and tftjs country a man keeps a sharp lookout lest he be caught at a disadvantage by the joker who glories in his smartness if he only can make some one look ridiculous. But it is just as, well not to be too smart. The boomerang has a wicked habit of coming back. Silly as All Fool's day custom may seem to the solemn, it hae an ancient ancestry. Its origin is obscure, but somewhere from the far-off times when those old Romans felt the lilt of the vernal equinox, and went on the spree accordingly, comes this" rollick which still trills forth its merry ditty in our streets. Deeper still, the calm, contemplative Hindu, for some reason or other, from time immemorial has gone a-fooling on the first of April. It was probably from France, whence all things vivacious come, that Europe got the unruly itch for turning this day into a comedy of errors.

And the man kept on ringing the front door bell. Puzzle. New Nurse—I couldn't answer the doctor this morning when he asked if the young woman patient who arrived a short time ago was light-headed.

No Insurance is Carried To Dedicate Butt -Monument A monument to Major Archibald W. Butt, military aide to President Roosevelt and Taft, and who was lost when 'the Titanic sank almost a year ago, will be dedicated May 30 in Arlington National cemetery. i 0- W Fire that destroyed four large buildings and caused a loss estimate'd at $500,000 in the Kansas penitentiary at Lansing was spread by convicts, who scattered burning papers in buildings not in the path of the flames, according to a statement by Fire Chief Michael Bahler, of Leavenworth. His opinion was confirmed by some of the prison officers. The fire started when the armature of a motor in the twine plant suddenly burst into flame, which communicated to walls and floors. Half an inch of oily lint over the floors made the building burn like tinder. The burned buildings are a total loss, as the state carries no insurance on its structures. Suffragette Wins Hunger Strike Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the suffragette leader, was released from Holloway jail after having been oh a "hunger strike" for nine days. She had been sentenced to three years in the penitentiary as leader of the militant suffragettes. Mrs.-Pankhurst was released on probation, under the terms of which she must report at frequent intervals to the police. In case she commits any misdeamenor she is liable to immediate arrest without a warrant and must then serve out her full term of conviction. The intention of the authorities is to allow her to be free only until she regains her strength.

Peruvians, _ and among them a Peruvian judge, who passed through New York recently, and who had investigated the charges, answered that English traders were directly responsible for the Putumayo atrocities and that Peru, with its population of four millions, scattered aver 700,000 square miles, cannot very well make the jungle as safe or safer than the neighborhood of the Metropole hotel, says the New York Tribune. One man arrived in New York the other day who has traveled the length and breadth of the Putumayo, and who, in the present controversy, has the good advantage of being neither a Peruvian nor an Englishman. His testimony, therefore, is likely to be more impartial than that of Sir Roger Casement or of Judge Romulo Paredes.

He has directed in the course of ten years nine different expeditions to survey the northern regions of Peru, and has published four maps Cthe only ones In existence) of four different sections of the Putumayo. F4nally, he has introduced in the rubber regions an automatic rubber tapping machine which will in the near future enable the Indians to return undisturbed to their primeval idleness. "There is no doubt," Jlerr von Hassel said, "that the Putumayo natives have been handled very brutally on several occasions. Many have been killed, although the figures mentioned by muckrakers are ridiculously exaggerated. It has been stated that eome 25,000 Putumayo Indians have been murdered in the course of the last ten years. The truth is that there are not 100,000 wild Indians in the whole republic of Peru. In the Putumayo proper, which is the most inhabitable part of the country, being right under the equator, I don't think there are more than 3,000 aborigines. "On the other hand, you must not believe that the Putumayo Indian is the meek, bleating lamb described in certain reports unfavorable to both the Peruvian government and the English traders. The 107 Indian tribes inhabiting the Peruvian forests are divided up into two main races, distinguishable by their weajpons and their habits. Those living on the Tight bank of the Amazon are rather peaceful, using only one weapon, the bow, and they never poison their arrows. The tribes living on ttye left bank of the Amazon (and this Includes the Putumayo region) are fond iof fighting and use as weapons spears iand blowpipes, whose darts are poisoned with curave. "Certain pieces of household furniture one finds very frequently in Indian huts give ax* inkling of what may happen to careless meddlers, be they white or copper-colored. Catching a (member of a hostile tribe and bringjtng home his head is considered an {excellent sport. The head itself is a {highly prized trophy. For reason of (convenience the Inside of the head (Is removed, the teeth pulled out for use in making belts or necklaces, the istence and manifest a certain re spect to Itoma, the sun, and Fuei, the moon. They generally bury their dead in their own tent wrapped up in a new hammock, which contains all the weapons and utensils they used in the course of their lives. "The young Indian who wishes- to be married goes to the tent where his beloved lived, cuts some wood for his future father-in-law and presents the cacique with a certain Quantity of cocoa and tobacco. Some fourteen days afterward the young woman is allowed to follow her husband to hitolpa. This is the occasion for very picturesque festivities, parades anrt dances at which Huitoto belles dis play their talent in skin painting All | the time is heard the booming sound lips are sewed up and the head is ; o f t h e m a n g a r e calling from every then shrunk until it is hardly larger . 9 than a child's fist In certain tribes "The mangare is a curious instntno mar* is ulk> ved to marry unless he can s^- • one of those little heads as r\..'. : - valor." "Aiio(h<.j- )L'j.;r-Hv thing which you see now and i\wx\ \s a ladle whos<* handle is made up of a dried human arm. This does not mean that thr Indians are especially cruel and murderous. The white man has little to fear from them, provided he finds out all about a tribe's habits and customs before ventuving into an Indian settlement. If you see three round stones at^the entrance to a hut it means: 'Keep out. the master is out; there are only women and children within.' "Disregard the warning, let tho chief find you in his hut and" soon after your head, conveniently 'shrunk, may adorn the door of his tent. "Three sticks laid on one another at a certain angle in front of the hut means: 'Everybody out.' Again death would be the penalty for trespassing. Shoot some of the Indians' domestic animals and a little poisoned arrow will soon .dispatch you into eternity It is the lay of the forest, and much as we may object to such a code of laws, It must be confessed that the Indians are very-law-abiding people. "A rubber tree bearing the brand of one tapper is never tampered with by another tapper. Masses, of coagulated rubber may be left In the.forest unprotected. The owner's mark stamped upon each piece is enough to keep thieves away. "While forest Indians are not likely to molest a white man who observes all the rules of the junsle code, they seem to abhor the sight of a black man. Many of the difficulties which arose in the Putumayo between Indians and rubber traders and led to acts of brutality on the part of the latter were due to the fact that the English-Amazon company employed. Barbados negroes as foremen. The Indians called • them 'Taife* or devils and only worked under them when compelled by sheer violence. "The Huitoto tribe, from which most of the rubber tappers are recruited, presents curious characteristics. As many as a hundred families live in common under a strange-iooking edifice called tombo, or tolpa. It is a sort of a cross between a hut and a tent, rising to a height of 40 or 50 feet. Jungle creepers are stretched upon a light conical timber frame, and then the whole thing is covered up with bamboo. From a distance it gives the impression of a traveling circus tent. It has no windows, and the doors are so low that one haa to stoop considerable to penetrate into the tolpa. Around the circular space covered by the tolpa are separate groups of hammocks for the various families. Every family has its fire, on which a large kettle is kept simmering continuously. It contains a sort of meat stew which never seems to become exhausted, for, after every meal the women refill the kettle with fresh meat and seasoning, without ever emptying i t Over the fire hang pieces of^flsh or venison which are being cured by smoke. "The Huitotos have no definite form of worship. They believe' in the existence of a superior being called TJ8inamu and of a lower element called Taife. They admit a future ex* ment, a sort of wireless of the jungle which is used not only to express a tribe's .rejoicing.. but to communicate the cacique's orders to the men at work in the forest. It is* a sort of drum made by hollowing out two tree trunks of slightly different size. By striking the surface with a mallet two different notes are produced, and the various combinations of those two sounds permit the transmission vt code signals very similar to the sterns in the Morse alphabet. As the tents are gonernllv built on top of high hills the sound of the mangare carries to a distance of from ten to fifteen miles. "Certain travelers have stated th the Huitoto Indians, espe^llv^thtfse of the Nonuya tribe, are antlrfopophagous. In the course of ten years I have never observed a single case of cannibalism nor heard one mentioned by any reliable witness. As I said before, forest Indians are absolutely harmless as , long aa travelers respect the law of the various tribes. When 'forced to work beyond a certain limit or in unfavorable weather, they may revolt, as they did in 1903, and drive their persecutors out of the forest. For that matter, they simply acted as perfectly civiliz-e ed working men would act under similar circumstances. "Indians have no sense of value and no desire to earn money. They buv supplies at any price, paying for them with large quantities of rubber, and seem to have no idea of profit. It is rather difficult to demand steady labor from such a type of humanity. Traders have therefore tried to employ Chinese and Japanese laborers and also African negroes at gathering rubber. No other race, however, can stand life In the tropical jungle. The slightest exertion, even for those fortunate enough to escape the jungle fever, means a-gradual weakening of the organism and death. "£he tapping of rubber trees is arduous work, and the fitting out of rubber tapping expeditions is a costly enterprise. With»the present methods of work, rubber trees can only be tapped six months* a year, from October to December and from April to June. , During January, February and March continuous tropical rains cause all the rivers to overflow and the forest becomes an uncharted swamp. A l l worR* must cease, human beings and animals alike must take refuge on the hills. "In July, August and September the rubber trees shed their leaves and .relapse into their annual slumber. They hardly give any latex or milk at that time, and the slightest wound on their trunk is likely to kilf them. During that period, however, rubber trees can be more easily distinguished from the tropical growth which sometimes hides them entirely from view, and the Indians roam the forest locating new goraalea. They make slow progress, for as soon as they leave the ri**r bank they must travel on foot, carryfc>g on their back provisions for several months. As soon as they have located a tree they cut down the underbrush around it with their machete and make a notch of a special design on Its bark. The tree thus becomes the absolute and undisputed property of the cauchero who find* i t " , ~ W M A R A D F O R D . ^ Mr. William A. Radford will answer questions and give advice FREE OF COST on all subjects pertaining to the subject of building, for the readers of this paper. On account of his wide experience aa Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he is, without doubt, the highest authority on all these subjects. Address all inquiries to William A. Radford, No. 178 West Jackson boulevard, Chicago, 111., and only enclose two-cent stamp for reply. A rather pretentious house of very pleasing design is shown in the cuts. There are many new features about this house that a?e likely to become popular. The idea of placing the stairway in the^ center or near the center of the house is a good one and I am pleased to note that the people generally approve of it because I feel that it is a sensible improvement in house building. In this plan the stairway ts quite an innovation. While you start up from almost the exact center of the house the- most of the space occupied by the.^tair is against the back wall, the least valuable space in the house. The stair itself is what you might call a three way combination stair. Besides the main stairway there is a separate back stair from the kitchen leading up ten .steps to meet on a landing. This landing is high enough to give head room for a passageway across under it leading from the kitchen to tbe reception hall. This gets back In a sensible way to the old idea of connecting the kitchen with the front door without being obliged to pass through the dining room. This passage way also gives access to the cellar stair, which is placed under the back stair. In this passage way also is the opening to the coat closet under the front stair. Then from the landing up we,have but one pair of, steps and this fs all that is necessary. B^ this arrangement every foot of space is made use of for some good purpose. The room ordinarily required to carry the back stair to the upper floor is saved and there is no corresponding objection. It would be hard to find fault with the arrangement in any particular. • In the living room and dining room are beam ceilings. There is something about a beam ceiling that seems ings. There is one thing about a beam ceiling; it requires side walls to match, not neej&ssarlly expensive, paneled woodwork as we see in some cases, but the decorations should "be in keeping whether it is fresco work, painting or papering. The general effect should be carried through. It would be difficult to design two rooms more pleasant than the dining room and living room in this plan. When it comes to the living room 16 by 22 feet in size with a large extension window at the end, a big fireplace at the back flanked with book cases on either side with leaded glass windows above them you have something of more than ordinary value in a living room. This is Second Floor Plan. a room that any housekeeper can take pride in. There are possibilities* of decoration superior to almost any other arrangement. The old-fashioned parlor and drawing room are left behind a hundred years in the march of progress by the adoption of such valuable room as this. Turning to the business end of the house there are a number of features to study. The vkitchen is a corner room 10 by 11 feet in size, intended just for a stove and the necessary working attachments. The sink^ is in the pantry directly in front of a window looking out onto the rear porch. A sink placed like this has the advantage of saving many steps when f to give an artistic tone to a room as nothing else will. Sometimes the idea is overlooked. When, like all other fashionable things, if overdone, the effect is spoiled. Beams in a ceil- First Floor Plan. ing should have a natural effect A beam is primarily Intended to support something. To appear right it must be large enough and heavy enough to fulfill its mission. Heavy beams are not placed close - together ordinarily *nd they are not. bedecked with fancy bra^k^a nnr overloaded with moldclearing away after meals. With this arrangement the china that should be kept in the sideboard or china closet Is not taken to the kitchen at all and the other dishes that find lodgment on the pantry shelves are handled Just as conveniently. The' stairway to the cellar is convenient to the kitche% and there is a chute reaching down into the cellar which Is provided with a. dumb waiter so that trips back and forth may be eliminated as much as possible. It wUl be noticed by a study of the many details that this is no ordinary house plan, for it contains more ad-' vantages than is ordinarily found even in elaborate designs, is not only a well arranged house downstairs, but the upstairs plan is just as good. There are four bedrooms and a well appointed bathroom. Jjpvery bedroom has one or two clothes closets and there is a linen closet in the hall. This amount of room on the second floor Is made possible in a house of this size by the manner In which the stairway is built It not only economizes space, but it lands you centrally, tflthin easy reach of the doors to the different rooms. While the roof * cuts off a portion of the upper walls of some of the bedrooms it does not interfere with tho comfort of the occupants. % < 2 > i K j y y l y MARTHA C a U N G D R QQPYMGMr /9// t7W-Afttf/iJU OOM/*A#Y 17 SYNOPSIS. foAr gaanth aa uRtoe-ddmriovned ,i nop Nereaw s inYgoerrk,, sftianrdtisn ga sshtrea nisg earc cosestnetd absy - ah esrt racnhgaeurff ewurh.o cLliamtebrs Hinatom bthleet oanu toof aLnydn nch, loMroafsos.r,m ws ithneers.s eJsa mthees atobnd usceteiosn A ogfa Athgaa ftohrac iRbleyd mtaoknedn. aHbaomarbdl ea- ythaec hyt.a chHte dsreocpusre so vae rtbuoga radn. d Awlhecekn Vneaanr Camp, friend of Hambleton, had an ap- CMoleaitndotamnm,,e enh tea nwdmi tahMk eihssis m aM. ceNalaloln tie m upReoeentyi nngife rrHi.e naHmdse-, tphrorepeo saersr atnog eth ea lcaottaesrt tarnipd oisn rVefaunse dC. aTmhpe's yupac ohnt; btohaer dS tehae GJeualln. neH Dam'Abrcle, tothne wyaakchest oan mwahnic hw hiso Aingtarothdau cRese dmhiomnsde.l f Haes mMeoents- stoieru. r TChheayt elfaigrdht,, wbhuot iasr eA ignattehraru'sp taebdd ubcy- tAheg atshian kainreg aobfa ntdhoen evde sbseyl . theJi mcrmewy, wanhdo tsawkiem tofo rt heh oubrso atasn. d Jfiimnamllyy arenadc hA gsahtohrae icno vae rtihnogr osuligghhltyly e, xthhaeu spteadir fcionndd Hitiaonnd. , Rthee- cdhuacutifofenu. r Hweh aog raeses istote dh elipn tAhegmat.h aJ'sim a bis- gdoeelisr iofuosr anhdel po.n tHhee verregteu ronfs deawthit.h HaDndr. •.

As he waited for her answer, Agatha suddenly came to herself. Her trembling ceased; she looked about upon them all with her truthful eyes; looked upon Hand standing unconcernedly in the doorway, upon Chatelard in the corner gleaming- like an oily devil. "No—he had nothing to do with it," she said. Chatelard's laugh beat back her words like a bludgeon. "Liars, all liars!" he cried. "I might have known!" But Chamberlain was impatient of all this. "And now, Monsieur Kidnaper, you can walk off with this gentleman here. And you can't go one minute too soon. The penitentiary's the place for you." Chatelard turned on him with another laugh. "You need not feel obliged to hold on to me, Mister Land Agent. I know when I'm beaten—which you Englishmen never do. Got another of those pears you offered me this morning?" Before Chamberlain could make reply, or before the sheriff and hi* prisoner could get to the door, there was the chug of an automobile. A second later urgent and loud voices penetrated a;the room, first from the steps, then from the hall. One was the hearty voice of a man, the other was Lizzie's. "Can't see her! Tell me I can't see her after I've run a hundred miles a day into the jungle on purpose to see her! The idea! Where is she? In here?" And in stalked Mr. Straker, with capj linen duster, and hjjgh gaitered boots. He was pulling off his goggles. "Well, what's this? A family party? Where's Miss Redmond?" . "Mr. Straker—" cried Agatha. "That's me! Oh, there you are! Why don't you open up and get some light? I can't see a thing." "Wait a minute, Mr. Straker—" Agatha was saying, when suddenly the attention of everybody in the roomwas drawn outside, i When Chamberlain had told Chatelard that his horse was loose in the yard, it happened to be the truth; now^ excited by fear of the strange machine that had just Arrived, the horse, with flying* bridlerein, - was snorting and prancing on his way to the vegetable garden. It was almost beyond masculine power to resist the impulse of puryuiit. Aleck and Chamberlain sprang through the window, the sheriff went as far as the lawn after them, and in that instant Chatelard slipped like an eel through the open door and out to the gate to Straker's machine, still chugging. The sheriff saw him as he Jumped in. "Hey, there!0 he shouted, and made a lively run for the gate. But before he reached it, Chatelard had jerked r^>.^^nv,S;fP«tt the lever, loosened the, brake, M ^ K ^ i M I d " was passing the church at «half there," quickly called the aherw ^ got awayf" Rut Mr. Hand had already thought what was best to be done. "Come on, here's another machine. We'll chase him!" he cried, as he-went for the white motor-car, standing farther back under the trees. It had to be cranked, which required some seconds, but presently they wrere off— Hand and the sheriff, in hot pursuit after Straker's car. Chamberlain and Aleck, triumphantly leading the horse, came back in time to see the settling cloud of dust. "Mr. Chamberlain—Mr. Van Camp!" cried Agatha. "They've gone! They've gone! They've got away!" "Who's got away?" demanded Chamberlain. "All of them!" groaned Agatha, as she sank down on the piazza steps. "Jimminy Christmas!'" ejaculated Mr. Straker. "This beats any tentwenty- thirty I ever saw. Regular Dick Deadwood game! And he's run off with my hew racer!" "What!" yelled Chamberlain. "Did that bloomin' sheriff let that bloomin' rascal get away?" "He isn't anybody I'd care to keep!" chuckled Straker. "Hut you know the new racer's worth something." "Did Chatelard go off in that machine?" again inquired Chamberlain slowly and distinctly of the two women. "Precisely," said Melanie, while Agatha's bowed head nodded. "By Jove, that sheriff's a duffer! Here, Van, give me the horse," And with the words Chamberlain grabbed Little Simon's best roadster, mounted him bareback, and turned his head up the road, "I'll catch him yet!" he yelled back. But he didn't. Three miles farther along he came upon the wreck. The racer was lying on its side in a ditch which recent rains had converted into a substantial volume of mire and mud. The white machine was drawn cosily up under a spreading hemlock farther on, but Mr. Hand and the sheriff were nowhere in sight. As Chamberlain stopped to gaze on the overturned car, he heard the crashing of underbrush in the woods near by. The steps came nearer. It was evident the. chase was up; they .were off the scent and obliged to return. "Humph!" grunted Chamberlain, and for once the clear springs of his disposition were made turbid with satire. "We're all a pack of bloomin' asses— that's what we are. What in hell's the matter with us?" While he was tying the horse to a -tree, Hand appeared, silent, with an unfathomable disgust written on his countenance. As usual, he who was the least to blame came in for the hottest of the censure; and yet, there was a sort of fellowship indicated by Chamberlain's extraordinary arraignment of them both. He was scarcely known ever to have been profane, but at this moment he searched for wicked words and interspersed his spech with them recklessly, if not with skill. It is the duty of the historian to expurgate. "I don't know just how you happen to be in this game," pronounced Chamberlain hotly, "but all I've got to say is you're an ass—an infernal ass." Hand, rolling up his sleeves, remained silent. "I suppose- if you'd had a perfectly good million-dollar bank note, you'd have let it blow away—piff! *right out of your hands!" he-fumed. "Or the title deed of Mount' Olympus—or a ticket to a.front seat in the New Jerusalem. That's all it amounts to. Catch an eel, only to let him slip^ through your fingers—eh, you!" Mr. Hand made no answer. Instead, he waded into the ditch-stream and placed a shoulder under,, the racing car> Chamberlain's instinct for doing his share of work caused him to roll up his trousers and wade In, shoulder to shoulder with Hand, even while he was lecturing t on the feebleness of man's wits. "Good horse runningloose into barbwire fences had to be caught, but it didn't need a squadron of men and a forty-acre lot to do it in. Might have known he'd give us the slip if he could—biggest rascal in Europe!" And so on. Chamberlain, usually rather a silent man, blew himself empty for once, conscious all the time that he, himself, was quite as much to blame as Hand, could possibly have been. And Hand knew that he knew, but kept his counsel. Hand ought to be prime minister by this time. When the racing car was righted, he went swiftly as$ skilfully to work Investigating the damage and putting the machine in order, as far as possible. Chamberlain presently became impressed with his mechanical dexterity. "By.Jove, you can see Into her, can't you!" Hand continued silent, and left it to his companion to put on the finishing verbal touches. "Tow her home and fill her up and she'll be all right, eh?" said Chamberlain, but Hand kept on tinkering. The sudden neighing and plunging of Little Simon's poor tormented horse gave warning of the sheriff, crashing from the underbrush directly into the road. He was voluble with excuses. The fugitive had escaped, leaving no traces of his flight. He might be in the woQds, or he might have run to the railroad track and caught the freight that had just slowly passed. He might be"in the next township, or he might be— "Oh, go to thunder!" said Chamberlain. ' CHAPTER XXI. Jimmy Redivlus. If the occupants of the old red house felt over-much inclined to draw a long breath and rest on their oars after their anxiety and recent excitement, Agatha's manager was able to supply a powerful antidote. He was restlessness incarnate. He was combining a belated summer holiday with what he considered to be good business, "seeing" not only his prima donna secluded at llion, but other important people all the way from Portland to Halifax. When he heard that the man who ran off with his racing car was also responsible for the mysterious departure of Miss Redmond, his excitement was great. "You mean to say that you were picked up and drugged in broad daylight 'in New York?" he demanded of Agatha. "Practically that." '^And you escaped?" "The yacht foundered." "And that scamp walked right into your hands and you let him go?" Agatha forced a rueful smile. "I confess I'm not much used to catching criminals," Mr. Straker paused, lacking words to express his outraged spirit. "I don't mean you, of course. This whole outfit here—what are they do ing? Think they're put on in a walking part, eh? %on't .they know enough to go in out of the rain?" Getting'no reply to Ins fuming, he came down from hrr^frtgh horse, curiosity impelling. "What'd lie kidnap you for—ransom?" "No. It seems that he mistook me for Miss Reynier—the lady out there on the lawn talking with Mr. Van Canrp." Mr. Straker bent his intent gaze out of the window. "I don't see any resemblance at all." His crusty manner implied that Agatha, or somebody, was to blame for all the coil of trouble, and should be made to pay for it. "Even I was puzzled," smiled Agatha. "I thought she was some one I knew." -• "Nonsense!" growled Mr; Straker. "Anybody with two eyes could see the difference. She's older, and heavier. What did the scoundrel want with her?" "I don't know. She's a princess or something." Mr. Straker jumped. "She is!" he cried. "Lord, why didn't you tell me?" "I'm trying to." "Advertising!" he shouted joyfully. "Jimminy Christmas! We'll make it up—all this time lost. Princess who? Where from? I guess you do look like her, after all. I see it all now— head-lines! 'Strange confusion of identity! Which is the princess?* It'll draw crowds—thousands." Agatha escaped, leaving Mr. Straker to collect from' others the details of his advertising story, which he^did with surprising speed and accuracy. By. the next morning he had pumped Sallie, Doctor Thayer and Aleck Van Camp, and had extracted the promise of an interview from Miss Reynier herself. The only really unsatisfactory subject of investigation was Mr. Hand, whom Straker watched for a day or two with growing suspicion. Straker had sputtered, good-naturally enough, over the "accident" to liis racing-car, and had taken it for granted, in rather a high-handed manner, that Mr. Hand was to make repairs. His manner toward the chauffeur was not pleasant, being k combination of the patron and the bully. It was exactly the sort of manner to precipitate civil war, though diplomacy might serve to cover the breach for a time. But the racing-car, ignominiously towed home by Miss Reynier's white machine, stood undisturbed in one of the open carriage sheds by the church. Eluded by Hand for the space of twenty-four hovers*, and finding that the injury: to the car was beyond his own mechanical skill to repair, Mr. Straker sent peremptory word to Charlesport and to the Hillside for the services of a mechanician, without satisfaction. Little Simon thought the matter wap beyond him, but informed Mr. Straker that perhaps the engineer at the quarry—-a native who had "been to Boston" and qualified as chauffeur—would come and look at it. "Then for Heaven's sake, colonel, get him to come and be quick about it." adjured Mr. Straker. "And tell him for me that there's long-yellow for him if he'll make the thing right." "He'll charge you two dollars an hour, including time on the. road," solemnly announced Little Simon, unimpressed by any mention of the longyellow. Had* Little Simon "liked," he could probably have mended the car himself, but Mr. Straker's manner, so effective on Broadway, was not to the taste of these country people. He thought of them in their poverty as "peasants," but without the kindliness of the born gentleman. What Aleck Van Camp could have got for love,- Mr. Straker could not buy; and he_was at last obliged to .appeal to Hand through Agatha's agency. "I'll look at it again." Hand replied shortly, when Agatha addressed him on the subject. The car being temporarily out of commission, it was necessary for Mr. Straker to adopt so*ne other means of making himself and everybody about him extremely busy. He took a fancy for yachting, and got himself diligently instructed in an art which, of all arts, must be absorbed with the mother's milk, taken with the three R's and followed with enthusiastic devotion. In Mr. Straker every qualification for seamanship was lacking save enthusiasm, but as he himself never discovered this fact, his amour propre did not suffer, and his companions were partly relieved of the burden of his entertainment. Presently he made up his mind that it was time for him to see Jimmy. His nose, trained for scenting news, led him inevitably to the .chief actor in the unusual drama whf©h had indirectly involved his own fortunes, and he saw no reason why he should not follow it at once. "You'd better wait a while," cautioned Doctor Thayer. "That young man pumped his heart dry as a seedpod, and got some fever germs- on top of that. He isn't fit to stand the third degree just yet." "I'm not going to give him any thir^degree, not a bit of it. 'Hero! Saved a Princess!' and all that. That's what's coming to him as soon as the newspapers get hold of it. But 1 want to know how he did it, and what he did it for. Tell him to buck up." Jimmy did buck up, though Mr. Straker's message still remains to be delivr-red. k*e gathered his forces and exhibited such recuperative abilities as to astonish the old red house and all llion. Doctor Thayer and each of his nurses in turn unconsciously assumed credit for the good work, and Sallie Kingsbury took a good share of pride in his satisfactoryrecovery. "Two aigs regular," she would say, with all a housekeeper's glory in her guests' enjoyment of food. There was enough credit to go' round, indeed, and Jimmy presently became the animated and interesting center of the family. He might have been a new baby and his bedroom the sacred nursery. He was being spoiled every hour of the day. "Did he have a good night?" Agatha would anxiously inquire of Mr. Hand. "Can't tell which is night; he sleeps all the time," would be the tenor of Mr. Hand's reply. Or Sallie would ask, as if her fate depended on the answer, "Did he 'eat that nice piece er chicken, Aunt Susan?" And Mrs. Stoddard would say, "Eat it! It disappeared so quick I thought he'd choke. Wanted three more just like it, but I told him that invalids were like puppy-dogs—could only have one meal a day." "Well, how'd he take that?" asked the interested Sallie. "He said if I thought he was an invalid any longer I had another guess coming. Says he'll be up and into his clothes by tomorrow, and is going to take care of me.

"But he doesn't need me any more, and I guess I'll be going along home." "I don't know but what the rest of us need you," complained Sallie. "It's more of a Sunday school picnic here than you'd think, what .with.a New York press agent and a princess, to say nothing of that Mr. Hand." "He certainly knows how to manage a sick man," said Susan. Mrs. Stoddard made her way to Agatha in the cool chamber at the head of the stairs. Agatha, in a dressingsack, with her hair down, called her in and sent Lizzie away. "You're not going, are you, Mrs. Stoddard?" She too}? Susan's two hands an€ held them lovingly against her cheek. "It won't "seem right here, without you." "You've dorte vour duty, Agatha, and I've done mine,^as I saw it.

But I almost wish I could." "I've learned a sight by you, Agatha. I want you to know that," said Susan, struggling with her reticence and her impulse toward confession. "Oh, don't say that to me, Mm. Stoddard. I can only remember how good you've been to us all." But Susan would not be denied. "I thought you were proud and vain and —and worldly, Agatha. And I treated you harBh, I know." "No, no. Whatever you thought, it's all past now, and you are my friend. You'll help me to take care of this pickled." dear old place—yes?" "The' Lord will establish the work of your hands, my child!" She suddenly turned with one of her practical ideas. "I wouldn't let that new city man in to see Mr. Hambleton Just yet, if I were you." "Is Mr. Straker trying to get in to see Mr. Hambleton?" "Knocked at the door twice this morning, and I told him he couldn't come in. 'Why not?' said he. 'Danger of fever,' said I. Then Mr. Hambleton asked me who was there, and I said, 'I don't exactly know, but it's either Miss Redmond's maid's beau or a press agent,' and then Mr. Hambleton called out, as quick and strong as anybody, 'Go 'way! I think I've got smallpox.' And he went off, quicker'n a wink, and hasn't been back since." MrB. Stoddard's grim old face wrinkled in a humorous smile. - I guess he'll get over his smallpox scare, but Mr. Hambleton don't want to see hhn, not yet. He wants to see you." "I'm going in to see him soon, anyway," said Agatha. But still she waited* a little before going in for her morning visit with James, It meant so much to her! It wasn't to be taken lightly and casually, but with a little pomp and ceremony. Each—day since the night of the crisis she had paid her morning call, and each day she had seen new lights in Jimmy's eyes. In vain had she been matter-of-fact and practical, treating him as an Invalid whose vagaries should be indulged even though they were of no importance. He would not accept her on those terms. Back of his weakness nad been a strength, more and more percept ible.^each day, touching her with the sweetest flattery woman ever receives. It was the strength of a lover's spirit, looking out at her from his eyes and speaking to her in every inflection of his voice. Moreover, while he stoutly and continuously denied his fever-sickness he took no trouble to conceal this other malady. As soon as he could speak distinctly he proclaimed his spiritual madness, though nobody but Agatha, and possibly Mrs. Stoddarfl, quite understood. "I'm not sick; don't be an Idiot, Hand. And give me a shave, for Heaven's sake. Anybody can get knocked on the head—that's all the matter with me. (live me some clothes and you'll see." Even Hand had to give in quickly. Jimmy's resilience passed all expectations. He came up like a rubber ball; and now, on ft fine September morning, he was getting shaved and clothed in one of Aleck's suits. Finally he was propped up in an easy chair by a^window overlooking the towering elm tree and the white church. —• "Er—Andy—couldn't you get me some kind of a tie? This soft shirt business doesn't look very fit, does it, without a tie?" coaxed Jim. "If you ask me, I say you look fine." "Where'd you get all your good clothes, I'd like to know?" inquired Jim sternly, looking at Hand's immaculate linen. "Miss Sallie washes 'ern after I go to bed in the morning," confessed Hand. "Oh, she does, does she!" jeered Jimmy. "Weil, you'll have to go to bed at night, like other folks, now. And then what'li you do?" "I guess Miss Sallie'll have to sit up nights," modestly suggested Hand, when a slipper struck him in the back. "Good shot! What d'you want now— an opera hat?" he inquired derisively. "Andy!" ejaculated Jim, dismay settling on his features. "I've just thought! Do you s'pose I'm paying hotel bills all this time at The Larue?" Hand grinned unsympathetically. "If you engaged a room, sir, and didn't give it up, I believe it's the custom—" "That'll do for now, Handy Andy, if you can't get up any better answer than that. Lord, what's that!" Jim suddenly exclaimed, as if he hadn't been waiting, all ears, for that very Iftep in the passage. "I guess likely that'll be Miss Redmond," replied the respectful Hand. And so it was. Agatha, fresh as the morning* stood in the doorway for a contemplative moment, before coming forward to take Jim's outstretched hand. , (TO BE CONTINUED.) work, after I get the crab-apples.

A diseased condition of the hen ie Great Deal Depends on Selection transmitted to the egg and wm ap- of Setting Eggs, * pear in the chick when hatched. Should Be Those From Year Old Birds, as Chicks Will Be Larger and Stronger Than /Those From Pullets. < (By A. J. WILDER.) Care should be taken to save tfor settings only the eggs from the b^st hens. A very great difference can be made in a flock in a few seasons by the selection of the eggs for hatching. By choosing the largest eggs tae fowls will be much larger in size, h;"t there is a great probability that ttu»y wiirnot be good layers. The hen th&t Every Poultry Home Should Have Some Convenience for Confining Broody Hens. lays an unusually large egg is- quite likely to lay only every other day. By setting her eggs and again the next season setting the largest eggs, you will develop a strain of large fowls that will lay very large eggs, but will lay only every other day, or even less. On the other hand, if you set the eggs from the hens, that as pullets laid during their first fall and winter, 'and continue to set eggs from such hens, you will develop a strain of. early winter layers. The eggs for settings should be from year old hens, as the chicks will be larger and stronger than those from pullet eggs. It is best to mate cockerels instead of old cocks with these hens, as the eggs are more apt to be fertile and there will be a larger percentage of pullets. Choose the medium sized, well shaped eggs *and be sure the shell is firm and strong. A weak shell is sure to be broken, and, besides the loss of the • egg itself, will likely ruin several of the other eggs in the nest and may even teach the hen to break and? eat them. Peed the hens a little air slacked lime in the mash to give the eggs a good strong shell. Be sure the lime is well slacked and give two tablespoonfuls to 100 hens every day. Do not force the breeding stock for egg production.- Feed them mostly whole grain, wheat, oats, corn and barley. Let tjae mash be a light feed and give them fresh sweet meat scraps twice a week. Feed plenty of green food, unless the fowls' have range where they can find it for themselves. 'Keep them supplied with pure, clean drinking water and have charcoal, grit, oyster shell and dry bone always before them. Don't forget a little salt in the mash. It should always be salted as much as the same quantity of food would be for the table. The hens must be made to -exercise by scratching for their grain in the Ewe After Lambing. After lambing, ewes should not be fed too heavily for a week or two. Bran alone is a good ration for thfe first few days. Gradually the ration can be increased, using one part bran, one part oil meal and five parts corn. Sheep may be turned out earlier than other farm stock, for they seem to thrive better when allowed to keep down rank growth of grass in their pastures. But when they are first turned! out they should be fed some dry supplementary foods until they get somewhat accustomed to ^rass. Protection for Trees. Some orchardists have been successful in protecting their trees by smearing the trunks near the ground with mixtures which aro distasteful to rabbits, fror * this purpose whitewash, a mixture of glue and copperas, decoction of quassia chips and blood or grease, have been used. Mechan* ical protection by means of some wrapping is more permanent and effective than any form of wash, PROPER FEED FOR T H E HENS Varied Diet Necessary for Best Results From Layers—Dry Mash Always Before Fowls. A method which has given very satisfactory results for the- American breeds has been worked out by Prof. J. C. Graham of the Massachusetts Agricultural college. A dry.mash is kept in hoppers before"" the hens at all times and a scratch feed is fed night and morning. The dry mash is composed of equal parts bran, wheat middlings, corn meal, finely ground oats, ground alfalfa and beef scraps, and the scratch feed of two parts cracked corn, one part wheat and one part oats, says, the Farm and Home. The scratch feed is varied, depending somewhat upon the condition of the hens. If on examination they are found too fat more oats and wheat and less corn are fed. Sometimes we feed three parts of corn to two parts of wheat at night and oats in the morning. At certain seasons of the year more grain is fed at night in the litter than the hens will eat, so there will be some left for them to work on early the next morning. This is found to be a very satisfactory method. At times oats are fed alone, for when the three are mixed together the wheat and corn are picked up first and the hens that eat the fastest get very little of the oats. If it is desired to force the hens, in addition to the dry mash and grain, moisten some of the mash, getting it to a crumbly state and placing it in troughs, what they will eat in 15 minutes. This is fed at night. Fresh water, oyster shell and grit are kept before the hens. Mangels and cabbages are fed whole every day when possible, but at least three times a week. GOOD IN LEMON JUICE MAKING TRAP FOR RABBITS Full Directions Given for Construetoin and Materials Required—-Use Apple on Trigger. In response to a query for directions to make a rabbit trap, Herbert L.

In the picture T, trigger about 10 inches long; B, brace which fits in. notch at N ; P, wooden pin used as hinge at X. After box is constructed from material given above, bore a hole in the back a little larger than the trigger; take a stout cord, fasten it at S, draw through notch at R, and tie to center of brace. Stick an apple on trigger, as shown in cut, and the trap is ready for the rabbit. f Hearty Eaters. All cows that are hearty eaters are not profitable producers, but all profitable producers are usually hearty eaters. Save the Early Layers, Hens that lay but few eggsjare animal weeds. If we breed from them they are more than likely to yield daughters that will be weeds also. Farmers and small poultrymen who cannot afford to use trap nests can pick out the pullets in September and October that are about commencing to lay, and save a pen of them for next season's breeders. . The pullets that commence laying early usually continue to lay well. In this way most of the weeds can be kept out of the breeding pen. Halter-Breaking Colt. Never let a. colt grow to any considerable age and size Without halterbreaking him.

Dry ashes and air slaked lime make tfH) best of absorbents, ONE OF THE BEST OF THE MANICURE AIDS. Caution Should Be Employed In Its Use, as in the Case of Other Cleaners— Lotion for Whitening the Hands. To remove stains on the nails, lemon juice, as already suggested, may be used with advantage. Liquid ammonia, diluted, is also an excellent cleanser for stains on the nails and under the free edge of them, but it should be charily used and not taken as an every-day! remedy for the purpose. Occasionally a littie pamice stone (in powder) or powdered cuttlefish bone may be used with water for keeping the pails free from stains. The white opaque spots that appear so frequently on nails are said by some to denote a weakness in the nail formation matter, while others attribute them to a peculiar mental attitude, hence they are commonly called "gifts." A simple nail rouge is made by mixing together some fresli lard and powdered carmine and perfuming with a few drops of oil of lavender or rose.' One of the finest manicure acids for cleansing the nails consists of a teaspoonful of lime-juice, or vinegar, added to three times the quantity of warm water. An excellent lotion for whitening and softening the hands is made of equal parts of pure olive oil and glycerine, beaten together and perfumed with oil of violets. Where glycerine is objected to, a paste made of two ounces of beeswax and one ounce of sweet almonds, may be used, instead of the lotion. Place the ingredients in a jar in a saucepan of boiling water, and let them melt together. Stir until well mixed, and, when cold, pg£ the paste and apply it as often as necessary to the hands, or smear it inside sleeping gloves, P R E T T Y JABOTS AND COLLARS Some of the Neatest and Most Effective May Be the Product of Home Skill.

HANDY NEAR WRITING T A B L E Hanging Penwiper a Dainty Little Novelty that M a / Be Made Quite Attractive. This useful and decorative little novelty is for hanging on a stationery case or the wall by the side of the writing table, and should be carried out in quite a small size. The back portion is made of a piece of stiff cardboard cut out in the shape of a shield about six inches deep^ and to the upper part of this cardboar.d a dress hook is sewn. A t A visit to the counters where dainty neck fixings are sold reveals the fact that jabots and collars are lovelier than ever. Frills are no longer worn on the coat; tjiey have been supplanted by the jabot and rabat collar. A pretty jabot can be made of tulle or Brussels net cut in a strip twelve inches long by severi inches wide. On this embroider a dainty „design with mercerized cotton. This can be wore successfully executed if a piece of stiff paper is basted under the tulle. Whipstitch an edging of valenciennes lace to the edge of the strip and baste the pleats in place. Finally press with a heated iron and bind the top with a bias strip of lawn. If you do not embroider well, charming collars can be made of fine allover embroideries. Many of thd loveliest designs are colored to represent the old colonial needlework. Select a pattern which fits well and arrange the strip of embroidery around edge. Carefully miter the corners so that the design matches perfectly. There is great satisfaction in making one's own collars, for they usually fit well and are of designs and It is an easy task to fashion a rabat materials to suit the personal taste, collar of handkerchief linen bordered with Irish lace. Cut the collar and rabat from the linen, using a good pattern. Turn in a narrow hem and slipstitch it neatly in place. To the outer edge of the collar and rabat whipstitch an edging of Irish lace an inch and a half or two inches in width. Other collars are fashioned of black moire silk with a rabat of pleated cream colored shadow lace. ATTRACTIVE OUTING DRESS Dress of white silk crepon with red and green design trimmed with collar and belt of black silk, spilt cuffs and baby Irish lace. The card is afterwards covered both back and front with pale blue silk and edged with a dark blue silk cord carried into three loops on either side and again at the base. • There is a long loop of some of the same cord at the top by-"which the holder and penwiper may be suspended from a'nail in the wall. The penw.iper itself consists of a number of pieces of cloth, of a dark color for preference and of the shape shown, fastened together by means of a strip o f kid which binds the upper edges of the material. In the center a small ring is sewn by which the penwiper may be suspended from the hook. On the front, initials can be worked in silk in some strongly contrasting shade of color or some pretty little floral design can take their place if preferred.

REGARD PRISON AS HOTEL English Veterans In Crime Find Degree of Comfort In Incarceration in Their Declining Days. JPrison hotels, where habitual criminals are housed, are being made so comfortable In England nowadays that offenders who have spent their lives in criminal pursuits and have reached the retiring age are now adopting the custom of committing serious crimes when they arrive at the age of sixty or thereabouts in order that they may pass their remaining years in the peaceful precincts of *the prison hotel. One of these institutions is now in the course of building at Parkhurst, Isle of Wight, and soon will be occupied by some seventy or eighty aged convicts, who have become privileged prisoners under the scheme originated by Winston Churchill a few years ago, says the New York Tribune's correspondent. The "old brigade" have mostly very light indoor or outdoor work in association. They are permitted to talk to each other. They are allowed an armchair and a bedstead in their cells, as well as religious and other periodicals, and where chewing is difficult, owing to loss of teeth, minced meat and beef tea are included in the dietary. "The conditions of these worn out veterans of crime have been very considerably ameliorated and the vase majority of them are keenly alive to the fact," says the prison chaplain in his last report. <vThey are grumblers, as a matter of course, but grumbling, after all, hurts no one, and is, moreover, a safety valve of some value. "So satisfied are the greater number that I am afraid many of them will return to penal servitude on purpose to end their days in comfort and cleanliness. One man. more than eighty years old told me on his discharge that he could not earn a living, he would not go to the union and he intended to come back here.

Marquess of Sligo In Indian Mutiny. Lord Altamont, who through the death of his aged father, the other day, has become marquess of Sligo, was through the Indian mutiny. His father, who was in the Indian civil service, was stationed at Bankipur when the mutiny broke out. Lord Sligo's wife and infant son, seven months old, the new marquess, were sent for safety to a place which was surrounded by rebels for a fortnight. The child, however, was safely taken through the sepoy lines by a faithfuiNjndian nurse, who dyed his skin as a ruee to pass him off as her own son. A long time passed before the boy was restored to his anxious parents, who meantime had to go through a further siege at Mongbyr. The new marquess recently celebrated his silver wedding.

The pimples festered and came to a head. They itched and burned and when I scratched them became sore. I tried soaps and they would not stop the itching and burning of the skin. This lasted for a month or mor«. At last I tried Cuticura Ointment and Soap They took out the burning and itching of the skin, soothing it very much and giving the relief that the others failed to give me. I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment about three weeks and was completely cured." (Signed) Miss Clara Mueller, Mar. 16, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

In English East Africa is the richest bed of soda in the world. Engineers say that it contains 200,000,000 tons. The lake has a surface of more than fifty square kilometers. During the rainy season, which in this locality is short, its surface is covered with a shallow layer of water. When a block of soda is taken out, another forms, and the natives say that this occurs so quickly that an equal amount of soda may be abstracted for a number of years from the same place.—Harper's Weekly. Dayton Has Had Six Floods. Dayton, 0., has stood in the shadow of disaster from Hood ever since its foundation. No less than six times previous to the present inundation have the rivers which flow through it left their accustomed courses and brought death and destruction of property upon the town. The first of these floods occurred in 1805, the very year that Dayton was incorporated as a town. The sixth was in 1898 and the others in the years 1847, 1863, 1866 and 1886, Heading Her Off.

The price of paper has reached a point that we cannot reach; also labor is high and Gregory being too small to jjnake a paper a paying proposition, are the chief reasons for our discontinuing tbe publicatian of the Gazette. It is not our intention to beat anyone out of a single cent, therefore tb all those who have paid in advance we will either send tbe Pinckney Dispatch to the end of expiration of the money paid in advance for the Gazette or we will refund the money upon request. It will be our aim to publish all the news of Gregory and vicinity, that we can get, in the Pinckney Dispatch and all correspondents will please send news the same as before, bat also bear in mind that news ^^st reach us not later than Monday night to insure pdbliea tion. With this plan subscribers will get the same news that has Appeared in the Gazette together with other news that heretofore they did not get. We believe this plan will meet tbe approval of all. Thanking one and all for their support during the lite of the Gazette and hoping that we will not loose a single subscriber by the above plan, I am Tours truly, Roy W. Cavebly F o r C h e a p e r F u e l We respectfully commend for consideration by t\i$ Democratic party the problem of cheaper fuel for gasoline engines. The price of gasoline has reached a point where other fuel will have to be considered. It has been demonstrated that denatured alcohol can be manufactured at a profit to sell at about 10 cents, but the government restrictions placed upon it makes it impossible as a competitor of gasoline until they are removed. The gas engine is becoming of almost universal use on the farm as well as in the city and some effort should be made to reduce the fuel proposition and the problem should be considered along with the tariff reduction.—Fowlerville Review. • fti woul<9 u p m i l effeminate if they carried mufto, bit for nearly a oftttory, begtaf** In this iMfn ^et George III, t£ey 'wmit aemi^h \ fcy men as by women.

Commissioner Powers Holds State Is Unjust to Tax Property to Edcate Professions and Not Trades* NEWS IN BRIEF Gov. Ferris, speaking at Kalmazoo before the Michigan Printers' costoougress, made a strong plea for educa-, tion of all classes and all ages, for the father, mother, son and daughter. He averred that public schools should be kept open six days in the week, that education is too much needed to warrant the closing of schools for any day except Sunday, and added that open schools on Sunday are far better than other breakers of the Sabbath often allowed. The printers were told by Labor Commissioner Perry F. Powers in an address that the state was unjust when it taxed property to educate lawyers, doctors and dentists, but not plumbers, printers and other tradesmen. Powers in his remarks dealt to a very great extent on labor conditions in the state. Engineer Pinned Under Engine.

(By K. SANDSTEN.) The depth at which potatoes should be planted is a matter of considerable importance, and one upon which much difference of opinion exists. Some growers advocate shallow planting, and others Just as strongly favor deep planting.* That there must be a depth at which the highest yield may be obtained seems reasonable. This depth will undoubtedly vary with difference In weather conditions, consequently any investigation along this line should be carried .on for several years In order to obtain reliable data. A n experiment was made at Iron River, Wis., on sandy soil of rather open texture, to get some information on this point. The ground was plowed in the fall and given a dressing of manure at the rate of ten loads per a"cre in the spring. This was disked into the ground thoroughly before planting. The land was nicely leveled before planting by means of a drag. Twentyone rows, running north and south, were planted, each row three feet apart. The potatoes were planted with a planter in order, as follows: $M T H E P O I N T * Should Have Plenty of Water by Soaking in Tub or Plunge In Bath .Tub to Refresh Them. (By FRANCIS I* RISIJSTI Kockvitle, Conn.) Plants that have been in the house all.winter in a dlfy atmosphere will dry out quickly. Give plenty of water by soaking in a tub or a plunge in the bath tub and spray the leaves often. This will refresh them, and also destroy the red apis which multiply continually.

In this way any possible lack of uniformity of soil was to a great extent neutralized. The same general slope obtained for all the field, making the conditions similar for v all the ftl W i t iii-iiiiiilli tllil Yields of plots of potatoes planted at different depths. The yields were 140 bushels per acre when planted at a depth of four Inches, 124 bushels when planted six inches deep, and 102 bushels when planted eight Inches deep. The shallower planting allowed the potatoes to come up and mature more quickly, thus escaping the effects of dry weather. rows. The potatoes planted at four Inches came up first,- those at six inches second, while the rows planted at eight inches came up last. There was a difference of about two days between each set. The set planted at four inchis grew fastest and produced somewhat stockier vine's. J£he deepeat planting was not quite as good a stand, although the difference was not very great. * Exactly the same treatment as to cultivating, "spraying, etc., was given to all the rows. No weeds were allowed to grow, and the beetles were killed before they did any material damage. "The crop was dug the latter part of September, with the following* results: • The potatoes planted four inches deep yielded at the rate of 140 bushels per acre; the six-inch depth yielded at the rate of 124 bushels per acre, and the eight-inch depth, 102 bushels per acre. From this it would seem that six inches would be the maximum depth %t which to plant potatoes. Alfalfa as Pork Maker. A t the Kansas experiment station 100 pounds of pork were made from >ne ton of alfalfa hay* and 770 pounds from an acre of alfalfa pasture. A t the Nebraska station hog rations consisting of one-fourth alfalfa hay showed the alfalfa hay worth its weight in corn meal* and superior to the same weight of bran* The Iowa station made pig pork at $3.84 per 100 pounds and realized 71.1 cents per bushel for corn; with alfalfa and com, pork cost $2.88 per 100 pounds, and corn returned 86.6; cents per bushel—a difference of 331-3 per cent In favor of alfalfa. • Cheap Seeds. The lowest priced seeds are often the most expensive i n the long run. JQon't buy seed because i t i s v cheap. Pay a good fair price for "it and test before planting j n all cases. Vegetable seed ought to test 90 per cent at least. Plowing plan. In p l p ^ i n ^ the ground it is a good olan to finish each day's work by narrowing ^what hap been plowed.

IMPORTS OF F A R M PRODUCTS Immense Amount of Money Paid to Foreigners That Should Have Gone to American Farmers. The tremendous - acreage planted to corn last year developed the everpresent pessimist who talked about over-production and a consequent lowering of prices to the injury of the farmer's market. These people do not know that last year the United States imported $(),800,000 worth of oats, rrflar^ than $2,000,000 worth of potatoes, $1,000,000 -"worth of peas, over $2,000,000 worth of Oceans, $8,000,000 worth . of sugar,, $3,500,000 worth of tobacco. This is money paid to foreigners which should have gone into the pockets of the American farmers if they-had raised enough of these several products. As long as our populatipn increases as rapidly as it does now, there is little danger of over production of farm products. -Swine Manure. An important consideration that Is too often overlooked is the economical utilization of manure produced by swine. Dry-lot feeding in summer is often associated with a heavy waste of manure on account of the large part of thejmanure that is leached or blow away when deposited in bare lots. Feeding on pastures .or in cultivated fields will do much to obviate this loss, since a large proportion of the droppings and urine will then be deposited in the field where the fertilizing constituents may be utilized. H o r t i c u l t u r a l N o t e o Do not allow anything to grow over the roots of fruit trees. Fruit trees, as a general rule, do not appreciate light, sandy soils . Make sure that the site for toe new orchard can be easily drained. Calliopsis is a desirable quick growing annual for the cut-flower garden. Many failures from spraying result from working when the temperature is below 40 degrees. Sow a few asters, pansies, cobea, and hardy carnations i n the house the last of the month for earliest flowers outside. When setting any of the bush fruits the top should be pruned to correspond to the root pruning the plant gets in transplanting. Keep on the constant lookout to destroy insect eggs and cocoons frequently seen near rubbish heaps and on the bark c? trees. The sweet cherry is the only tree fruit that can be universally set out in the fall successfully and be better than for spring setting." , gome fruit growers'say that it is not a good plan to plow an orchard when the trees are in blossom-rbetter do It before or after. Do not plant many varieties of trees in the new apple orchard. The apple buyers like to find as many of one variety as they can together. Any kind of fruit tree will die when planted in ground that is all the time saturated with water*. The tile ditch is a necessity in some places. The Senator Dunlap strawberry, Beta grape, K i n g raspberry and Wealthy apple are good fruits for the garden. Plant Hberalljr of each. In pruning the apple trees, plan to form shapely heads that w i l l permit the sunlight to get into the center of the tree.' It will give betttr fruit Lessons irr- Housekeeping.

The city has for 'decades been the scene of insurrection, massacre and turmoil. One who7would go to Uscub, even ln normal times, must be prepared to be inconvenienced. In Turkey, trains dare not run at night, for fear of dynamite outrages, and ms a result, the train from Nisch, in Servla, the nearest place of importance, leaves at half-past five in the morning. Ones independent. The trip is made Interesting by a review of what Uscub has stood for in the past. In the beginning of things. TJsSu* was known as Dsrdania, original Jy an independent empire, which was swallowed up by the Roman Em- Rirei^n; \% ^ C., when Uscub became .the capital of the Province of Dar- Ideals, but now under the name of Bcopt. At the opening of the eleventh century,* however, Scopi had become a part of the vast Bttlgar empire, to which tradition is again today reverting, in the Balkans, With view of reviving the same, and then, about 1246, it, along with all Macedonia, was torn away by the war ruler, Vatazes. Uscub, therefore, has been a Balkan battlefield, time and again, in the past. The Serb emperor captured it In the day when Greater Servia was at its zenith. There were battles hers between Bulgers and Byzantines, and little time to, reach and inspect thor oughly. Closer by. in the city itself, there's a wonderfully pretty mosque .with a konak, or palace. A Picturesque Town. Uscub is made picturesque In that It is practically divided by the arching stone bridge over the muddy, whirling river. This river, its current excep* tlonally fast, is lined with rather putt ty, old, stone quays. Of course, at its bridges there are police; in fact, po lice are everywhere and these carry guns on their shoulders, as w<m+d thsoldiers at home. So, too, everywhere there are Moslems, wearing fez or turban, but otherwise clinging to the European dress for the most part Nevertheless, the numbers who still retain the red jacket, blue bloomers and heavy red belt, in addition to tbe fez, are far from small. Off from the main street; Uscub re solves into a rather uninteresting town. After all. the best part to it is that view on entering. But there-feresome odd characteristics. For exam-' pie, the Christian women go barefoot; wearing clogs under the sole. Little boys don the fez, except the gypsies, whose children run nude, regardless of sex. while the eiders, too, are half naked. v Continue up the muddy street and you reach a section of two-story homes of more modern style and cheap stores. There is no enterprise evident, everything seems slow—the country smacks of Arabian Night! COURT 9f * H A R m here* at Uscub, was crowned the man who was "czar of the Serbs and Greeks/' It was at his death that the great Serb empire fell and Uscub became the booty of the Turks. They changed its name to the present one, and made it capital of a sandchak, or district Uscub'8 decline thereafter is marked by but one break of note, that in the seventeenth century a colony of Bagusans established Itself here and surrounded the city with splendid vineyards, as well as organizing a tremendous export of local products, notably wax and leather; For a year (168$) the Austrians also held Uscub, but had to release tt-^knd it is Turkish since! Touristically, Uscub repays a brief stay on one's trip through Macedonia. Lying as it dees on the left shore of the Wardar, there is an Interesting bridge, built away baek in the times of the Saltan Mohammed IL Stand* in& on this, one may see far to the northwest tbe peak of the SJubotm, and, in the southwest, the snow-coversd Karascbitza, Just above the town is en interesting fortified castle slid passes Indicate landmarks that stow where, an hour's distanes to the northwest, a long aqueduct of Byzan* tine tlaies remains. points, though, require some times. Side streets consist of walla to yards, each with double door of wood and heavy knockers, as again la the tales of Bagdad, These streets are very narrow; above them the latticed windows overhang. It's the people who interest the most Many of the Turks wear a heavy silver-handled pistol in the belt. Sometimes you meet a man peddling tiny pigs' feet at the end of a pole slung on his shoulder. There's a preponderance of soldiers and their oftV cars in the street life; the latter in garments quits threadbare. They drop into the vegetable stores, where candles, too, are handled, relying on a treat from the master. Sometimes Turkish women, In black, come by, two of them entering a house, hence, their harem. CARE OF NUTS P I P r£BUlT<S Sometrmes Too tittle' Attention Is Paid to Subject That La Really Important Nuts when bought shelled should be scalded, dried in tbe oven and put away in glass jars ready for use, because as a rule they are not shelled IT. sanitary surroundings. If exposed to dampness, nuts mold and decay, and even under favorable conditions the nut oils and fats become rancid ot long-continued storing in the main, however, the keeping qualities of most nuts are excellent, but they should be stored in such a way that tbey may be safe from the atacks of insect enemies. Dried fruits, like dates, rUsins and figs, are also favorable reBting-places for dirt and duet, as almost anything which the air-currents place in the sticky Burface will remain there. Fortunately Jt is becoming a common practice to buy such fruits in closed packages wbicji protecct. them to a great extent from dust and insects, so that the dried.fruits?if clean in the first place, will remain clean. When bought in bulk they should be scalded to kill any germs, washed thoroughly, dried and put away clean. Ur. William A.

Six eggs, One teaspoonful of salt, one cupful of rice, four peeled fresh tomatoes, one large onion, and two tabtespooufuls of butter. Wash and boil the rice. Put the butter into a pan, add the onion and pepper chopped; shake until they are soft, not browned. Cut the tomatoes into halveB and press out the seeds; then cut them in pieces; add them to the pepper and onion, cook for 15 minutes and add the salt. Put the egg* into warm wa ter, bring to boiling point, and keep them at boiling point for a quarter of an hour. Remove the shells. Cut the eggs into slices and put them into a serving dish, pour over the sauce; heap the rice at the ends or at the sides and send to the table. Grape Fluff. One-quarter box shredded gelatin or one tablespoon of granulated gelatin, one-quarter cup cold water, threequarters cup sugar, juice of one lemon, one cup of grape juice, white of three eggs. Soften the^ gelatin in the cold water and dissolve by standing the dish In hot water. Dissolve the sugar in the fruit juice and strain the gelatin into it.. Set in ice water and stir occasionally until it begins to thicken, then add gardually the well-beaten whites of the eggs and beat until the whole is very light and stilt enough to hold its shape f i l e lightly in a glass serving dish and serve with whipped cream or soft custard. This is sufficient for six servings and is delicious and wholesome. it is one of the healthful signs of present day building that the interior arrangement bf a house Is given more attention and is considered more important than is its exterior appearance. Home builders have outgrown that period when matters, of design where regulated by what the neighbors would think. A generation ago every house had to have its front, and back parlor; the former preferably garnished with a round tower bay window arrangement on the corner and the exterior elaborately supplied with fancy ornaments, if the building was to command any distinction at all in the community; and all of this was to the general detriment of the home interior. A modern house, on the other hand, is designed to meet the needs of the family life, providing rooms that are well lighted, well ventilated, of proper size and so arranged that th# work of house keeping ruay be reduced to Its" lowest terms^ -' < . The architect draws his floor plans and lets the exterior apperance largely take care of itself. Yet, in spite of this, the modern houses planned in this way are far more Attractive in their general exterior appearance than were the pretentious, over-ornamented dwellings of old. Simplicity and directness are the two first requirements for successful design-elements which come strongly into play in this present-day idea of home planning. In the accompanying design the most important consideration was to have the first floor so planned that an impression of spaciousness be gained upon entering the front door; at the same time it Was desired that the dining room and kitchen be separated from t h ¥ rest of the house at The dining room is reached by" way of a broad doorway from the side oi the living room, double doors separating the two when desired. Both the living room and dining room are exceptionally Well lighted, the three window groups being: both attractive in apperance and efficient for lighting and ventiiatidh. It is sei I dom that one finds so good ah arrange I ment as this in a hduse bf square out! line, which of course is the iriost sco- j nomicai to build. It is usually necessary, in order tb secure the desirable features mentioned, tb arange part ot the rooms in an ell or otherwise complicate the design. 4.* The arangement of the kitchen and pantry will be seen to be very convenient for the preparation of meals. On the second floor three large bedrooms and a bathroom are provided. French Designs In Lamps. Some of the old French designs in porcelain lamps fitted for electric light are very quaint and original. The shades are carried out in the same patterns and colors and are hand painted on silk or gauze, according to the style. Some have porcelain shades. The shades are charming and are Quite a change from the ordinary style. Her Idea of It "Mamma," asked little Freddy, "what's a stag dinner?"

Use a divided and marked cup, and weigh accurately. .Celery and lettuce may be kept fresh by standing the roots in cold wa* ter and throwing over them a damp cloth or dry manila paper. They should, before using, be washed thor oughly, soaked in ice water and dried on a towel. * Onions that are ov^rstrong in fiavoi may be rendered less so by slicing, th putting n a collander and pouring boiling water" over them. After this plunge into ice water and let remain for half an hour. {This will leave them sweet and crisp. To remove scorch marks from fireproof dishes, cook them in strong borax water until the ugly brown marks upon them can be rubbed off with a cloth. If whites of eggs are not perfectly cold, or if they are too fresh they will not beat very stiff, Cream will not whip well unless at least thirty-six hours old and very cold. , Mayonnaise dressing will separate when too much salt has been added to the agg yolks, or when the oil has been dropped, to fast, or if the in* gradients are not thoroughly cleaned when used. Second Floor Plan. Each room has cross ventilation. There are five clothes closets; also a nice space for a sewing room in the well lighted upper hall. The extertot of this house is very simple, yet it is highly attractive. It is a modern adaptation of the Dutch Colonial style Cement plaster on metal lath is e m ployed for the walls. A number o) attractive color schemes are feasible for its use; cream color for the cement plaster and brown for the wood trim around the doors and windows times, when a certain1 privacy there is desired. This Ib a very frequent requirement; yet, it Is surprising how often our houses as they are built fulfill but part of this requirement. A glance at this first floor plan will show an arrangement which accombeing nerhaps as good as any. The roof Ib of slate. The cost of this house is estimated at $4,000. Cabbage Salad. Remove the center from a white cabbage, leaving.a shell. Shred center and mix with mayonnaise. Chill, fill cabbage shell, arrange on a thick bed of parsley and garnish top of shell with a border of parsley. Caramel Pudding.

Most people know that the reason the wedding ring is put on the fourth rnger of the left hand is said to bs because the first two fingers and the thumb were counted all as finger* and therefore as three. The thumb . used to be the ring finger anciently, and the seal rings ot those in authority were placed on this first short thick finger, the most useful of the hand. The wedding ring is-the modern descendant of this old-time thumb ring and was removed to the fourth finger in this way: The first three were named for the three persons of the Trinity, and at the word ameV after the naming of the three, the' ring reached'the fourth finger and war left there. In reality, the ring tinier is the safest place for it *• There is another and less pleasant origin, too, for the wedding ring. The old rings were the mark of bondage as well as of dignity.

"1 hardly know you, all fixed up like this." "Oh, 1 look much better than this when I'm really dressed up, you know," Jim asserted. Agatha patted hts knuckles indulgently, looked at the thinness --and whiteness of the hand, ahd shook her head. "Not gaining enough yet," she said. "That isn't the right color for a hand." "It needs to be held longer." "Oh, nor it heeds more quiet. Fewer visitors, no talking, and plenty of fresh milk and eggs." Jimmy- almost stamped his foot. "Down with eggs!" he cried. "And milk, too. I'm going to Institute a mutiny. tSxcuse me. I know I'm visiting and ought to be polite, but no mors invalids food for me. Handy Andy and I are going out to kill a moose and eat it—eh, Andy?" • But Hand was gone. Agatha sat down in a big rocker at the other window. ."In that case," she said demurely, "we'll all have to be thinking of l*ynn and New York and work." Jim -Shamelessly turned feather. "0&, noV' he cried. "I'm very ill. I'm not able to go to Lynn. Besides, my time isn't up^yet. This is my vacation." He looked up smiling into Agatha's face, ingenuous as a boy of seven. "Do yOu always take such—such venturesome holidays?" she asked. "I never took any before; at least, not what I call holidays," he said. "If you don't come over here and sit near me, I shall feet up and go over to you. And Andy says I'm very wobbly on my legs. Vj* might by accident drop into your Mp." Agatha .pushed her chair over toward James, and before she could sit down he had drawn it still closer to his own. "The doctor says my hand has tot be held!" he assured her, as he got firm hold of hers. "For shame!" she cried. "Mustn't tell fibs." "Tell me,", he begged, "is this your house, really*n truly?" It brought, as he knew it would, her ready smile. # ^Yep," she nodded. 1 VAnd is that your tree out there?" "Yep." .yj&V: he sighed. "It's great! it's Paradise. I've dreamed of just such ar heayenly place. And Andy says we've been here two weeks." ' Yes~-and a little more." 1 "My holiday half gone!" His mood suddenly changed from its jocund and boylph manner, and he turned earn* satly toward Agatha. -¾ don't know, dear girl, all that has happened since that night—with you—-on the water. Hand shuts me oft? most villainously.. But I know it's Heaven being here, with Aleck and every one so good to me, and you! You've cornel 'back, somehow, like a reality from my dreanis.^I watch tor you, You're all I think of, whether Fm awake or asleep," Agatha earnestly regarded his frank face, with its laughing, true eyes. "Jimmy," she said—he had begged her to call him that—"it seems as if I, too, had known you a long time. More than these little two weeks." "It is more; you said so," put in Jim. "Yes; a little more. And if it hadn't been for you, I shouldn't be here, or anywhere. I often think of that." "You see!" he cried. "I had to have you, even if I followed you half-way round the globe; even if I had to jump into the sea. Kismet—you can't es* cape me!" But Agatha was only half smiling. "No," she protested, "it is not that. I owe—" Jim put his fingers on her lips. "Tut, tut! Dear girl, you owe nothing, except to your own courage and good swimming. But as for me, why, you know I'm yours." "James," Agatha could not help preaching a bit, 'just because we happen to be the actors in an adventure is no reason, no real reason, why we should be silly about each other. We don't have to end the story that way." "Oh, don't we? We'll see!" shputed Jim. "And I'm not silly, if some other people are. I don't see why I should be cheated out of a perfectly good climax, if you put it that way, any more than the next fellow. Agatha, dearest—" But she wouldn't listen to him. "No, no," she protested, slowly but earnestly. "Look here, Mr. James Hambieton, of Lynn! I promise to do anything, or everything, that you honestly want, after you get well. I'll, listen to you then. But I'm not go(ng to let a man who is just out of a delirium make love to me." "But I'm not just out. I only had a whack on the head, and that's nothing. I'm strong" as an ox. I'm saner than anybody. Do listen to me, Agatha." "No—no, I mustn't." "But tell me, dear. You're free? You're not—" he searched for the word that suited his ^ood—"you're not plighted?" She smiled. "No, I'm not plighted." "Ah!" he chortled, and seized both her hands, putting them to his 11))6. She stood over him, looking down tenderly. "Time for your broth, Mr. Hambieton, and Mr. Straker wants to know if he can see' you," interrupted Mr. Hand. "Can't see him, Andy. I'm very busy," began Jim; then added, "By the way, who is Mr. Straker?" "Tell him he may com? fn, for a few minutes, Mr. Hand," directed Agatha. Presently the manager was being introduced in the properest manner to the invalid. Agatha, knowing James would need protection from quisling, stayed by. "Now, tell me," wheedled Mr. Straker, "the whole story Just exactly as it happened to you, please. It's very important that I should know all the details." So Jimmy, aided now and then by Agatha, delivered a St raker-i zed version of the wreck and the 'arrival at Ilion. "But before that," questioned the manager. "How did you happen to be on the Jeanne D'Arc?" For the first time James hesitated. Not even Agatha knew that part of the story. "I was picked up by-the Jeanne D'Arc in New York harbor," he replied slowly. Mr. Straker frowned. "How—picked up?" "Out of the water.' "What were you in the water for?" "I had just dropped off a tug." "What for?" "Because I wanted the yacht to pick me up." At this point Mr. Straker directed a commiserating look at Agatha. It said "Crazy" as plain as words. "What were you on the tug for?" "I had followed the yacht" "What for?" The pause before James' next answer was apparent. When it cams, there came with it that same sevenyear- old look of smiling ingenuousness. "I Just wanted to see what they were going to do with Miss Redmond." '"Jlmminy Christmas!" exploded Mr. Straker. "Any more kinks in this story? How'd you know they'd stolen Miss Redmond?" And so Jimmy had to tell It all, with; the abominable Straker growing more and more excited every minute, and: Agatha standing mute and awe* struck, looking at him. It was plain that Jimmy, for the moment, had the upper hand. "And that's about all!" he laughed. "What on earth, man, is the matter with you?" fumed Straker. "Didn't you Know there were a hundred chances to one the yacht wouldn't pick you up?'' Jimmy nodded, unabashed. "One chancers good enough for me. Nothing can kill me this trip, I tell you. I'm yood for anything. Lucky star's over me. i knew it all the time." Straker turned a disgusted face toy ard Agatha. "He's crazy as a loon! Isn't he?" he questioned glumly. But Jimmy knew his man. "No, not crasy, M£ Straker. Only a touch 0' sun? And it's glorious, isn't it. Miss Redmond?" She loved him for his boyish laughter, for the rollicking spirit in his voice, hut her eyes suddenly filled as she pondered the meaning back of his extraordinary story. With Mr. Straker gone at last, it was she who came to Jim with outstretched hands. "You mean you heard me call for help, there on the hill?" "Yep," he answered, suddenly sheepish. "And you followed to rescue me if you could?" "Yep—of course." 9 "Ah, James! Why did you do it?" * Jims small-boy expression beamed from his eyes. "I followed the Voice and the Face—as I told you once before. Don't you remember?" "I remember. But why?" His seven-year-old mood was suddenly touched with poetic dignity. "I could naught else," he said, looking into her face. 1 It was all tenderness; and she did not resist when he drew her gently down, till her lips touched his. CHAPTER XXII. A Man, of No Principle. Monsieur Chatelard's disappearance was as complete as though he had dropped off the earth. The sheriff, with his warrant in his pocket, hid his chagrin behind the sugar and flour barrels whose'sale occupied his time when he wasn't losing malefactors. Chamberlain, having once freed his mind to the grave-like Hand, maintained absolute silence on the subject, so far as the audience at the old red house was concerned. But he went into consultation with Aleck, and together they laid a network of police inspection about Ilion and Charlesport. , "It won't do any good," grumbled Chamberlain. "We'll have to catch him and choke him with our own hands, if it ever gets done." Nevertheless! they left nothing to chance. Telegraph and telephone were brought into requisition, and within twenty-four hours after the disappearance every station on the railroad, as well as every village along the coast, was warned to arrest the fugitive if he came that way. Mr. Chamberlain took the white motor and went off on long, mysterious journeys, coming back only to go into secret conclave with Aleck, or mysteriously to rush off again. Aleck Van Camp stayed at home, keeping a dog-watch on Melanie and .jdame Reynier, whether they were at the Hillside or at the old red house. Now that the purposes of the Frenchman had been made clear, ami since he was still at large, the world was no safe - place for unattended women. Aleck pondered deeply over the situation. "Is your amiable cousin's henchman a man to be scared off by our recent little encounter, do you think?" he asked of Meltfnie. She considered. "He might be scared, easily, enough. But I know well that he has a contempt for the .usual machinery of the law. He has evaded it so many times that he thinks it an easy matter." Aleck smiled whimsically/ "I don't wonder at that, if he* has had many experiences like the last" "He boasts that he can bribe anybody." "Ah, so! But how much rope would the duke give him, do you think, on a pinch?" "AU the rope he cares to take. Stephen's protection is all-powerful in Krolvetg; and elsewhere Chatelard depends, as I have said, on his wits." "But there must be some limit to the duke's stretch of conscience!" Melanie's eyes took on their faraway look. "Perhaps there is," she said at last, "but who can guess where that limit is? Besides, all he asks of his henchmen is results. He never inquires as to methods." ~s "Well, what do you think is the exact result Duke Stephen wants, in this case?" "He wants me either to return to Krolvetz and marry his brother, or—" Melanfe's hesitation was prolonged. " O r - whatr < "Or to disappear so completely that there will b* no question of my return. You sea, it's a peculiar case. If I marry wltheuhjiis consent—" "Which yon are about to do—"'cut ln Aleck. "I simply forfait my estates and they go into ths phblic treasury, where theV will be strictly accounted for. fiut if I marry Lcrsttfo—" "Which is impossible—" "Then the money goes into the family, of course, as my dot. Or—$>r, if I should die—ln that case Stephen inherits the money. And there is no doubt but that Stephen needs money." Aleck pondered for several minutes, while grave shadows threatened his face. But presently his smiling, unquenchable good temper came to the surface, and he gleefully tucked Melanie's hand under his arm. "As I said before, you need a husband very badly." "Oh, I don't know," she laughed. The result of Aleck's moment of* grave thought came a few days later, with the arrival of two quietly-dresse4 men. He told Melanie that one man was her chauffeur for the white machine, and the other was an extra hand he had engaged for tbe return trip on the Sea Gull. The chauffeur, however, for one reason or another, rarely took the wheel, and could have been seen walking at a distance behind Melanie whenever she stirred abroad. The extra hand for the Sea Gull did just the same as the chauffeur. From the day of the arrival of the manager, Mr. Hand's rather mysterious but friendly temper underwent a change for the worse. He not only continued silent, which might easily be counted a virtue, but he became almost sulky, which could only be called a crime. There was no bantering with Sallie in the kitchen, scarcely a friendly smile for Agatha herself. Mr. Hand was markedly out of sorts. On the morning following Mr. Straker's request that Hand should repair the car, the manager fouhd him tinkering ln the carriage shed near \the church. The car was jacked up on a horse-block, while one wheel lay near the road; Mr. Hand was as grimy and oily as the faw allows, working over the machinery with a sort of vicious earnestness. Mr. Straker hovered around for a few moments, then addressed Hand ln that tone of pseudo-geniality that marks a certain type of politician. "Look here, colonel, I understand you were in the employ of that French anarchist." It was an unlucky moment for attack, though Mr. Straker did not at once perceive it. Hand carefully wiped the oil from a neat ring of metal, slid down on his back under the car and screwed on a nut. As Mr. Straker, hands in, pockets and feet wide apart, watched the mechanician, there came through the silence and the sweet air the sound of thrushes calling from the wood beyond. Mr. Straker craned his head to look out at the church, then at the low stone wall, as if he expected to see the songsters performing on a stage before a row of footlights. He turned back to Mr. Hand. "That's right, is it? You worked for the slippery Mounseer?" "Uh-m," Hand grumbled, with a screw in his mouth. "Something like that." "What'd you do?" "I've found where she was wrenched in the turn-over. Got to have a new pin for this off wheel before she goes much farther.' "All right, I'll order one by telegraph today, vyhatd you do, I asked." Hand wriggled himself out from under the car and got on his feet, He thrust bis grimy, bands deep into his pockets, stood' for a moment contemplative and belligerent, as if undecided whether to explode or not, and then silently walked away. As Mr. Strainer watched his figure moving slowly toward the kitchen, he started a long low whistle, expressive of suspicion and doubt. Midway, however, he changed to a lively tune whose title was "I've got him on the run'—a classic just then spreading up and down Broadway. He took a few turns about the car, looked at the gearing with a knowing air, and then went into the house. If he had been a small boy, his mother would have punished him for stamping through the halls; being a grown man and a visitor, he may be described as walking*with firm, bold tread. Finally he was able to run down Agatha, who was conferring with Sallie in the library. Sallie sniffed in scorn of Mr. Straker, whom she disliked far worse than Mr. Hand; nevertheless, as she left the room she twisted up her gingham apron and tucked it into its band in a vague attempt at company^ manners. Mr. Straker lost no time ln attacking Agatha. ' "What d'you know about that chauffeur- nurse and ' general roustabout that's taking care of your young gentleman up-Btairs?" he inquired bluntly. Innocent of subtlety as Mr. Straker was, he was nevertheless keen enough to see that Agatha's instincts took alarm at his words. Indeed, one skilled in reading her face could have detected" the nature of, the uneasiness written there. She could not lie again, as she had unhesitatingly lied to the sheriff; neither could she abandon her position as protector to Mr. Hand. She wished for cleverness of the sort that could throw her manager off the scent, but saw no way other than the direct way. r "Nothing—I know almost nothing about him." "Comes from N'York?" *I fancy so.** "Well, take it from me, the aotmwyou get rid of him the totter. Chancesr are he's a man of no principle, and he'll do you." Agatha was silent. Meantime Mr. Straker got his second wind. "Of course he knows what be'* about when It comes to a, machine," the manager continued, "but mark may he knows too much for an honest wanj Looks to me as if there wasn't any-' thing on this green earth he can'fc do." "Green ocean, too—he's quite as much at home there," laughed Agatha. , "Humph!" Mr. Straker grunted ln disgust. "Let me assure you, Miss Redmond, that it's no Joking matSjer.'" Tradition , to the contrary* Asktha* was content to let the man have*the last word. Mr. Straker turned tosome business matters, wrote out talegraphic material enough to occupy the leisurely Charlesport operator for some hours, and then disappeared. Agatha was impressed by the manager's words somewhat more than har manner implied. She had no swift and sure judgment of people, and her experience of the world, short as it was, had taught her that recklessness is a costly luxury. She was meditating as to the wisest course to pursue, when the ex-chauffeur appeared. Hand wore his accustomed loose shirt and trousers without coat * or waistcoat, and It seemed as if he had never known a hat. "His thick hair was tumbled back from the forehead. His hands were now spotless, and hi* whole appearance agreeably clean and wholesome. He even looked as if he were going to be frank, but Agatha knew that* must be a delusion. It was impossible, however, not to be somewhat cajoled—he was so eminently likable. Agatha took a lesson from his own book, and waited in silence for him to speak. "Mademoiselle?" His voice had an undertone of excitement or nervousness that was wholly new. "Well, Mr. Hand?" He remained standing by the door for a moment, then stepped forward with the abrupt manner of a stripling who, usually inarticulate, has suddenly found tongue. "Why did you do it, MademoiselleV "Do what, my friend?" "Back me up before the sheriff. Give me a slick walkout like that" Agatha laughed good-humoredly. "Why should I answer your questions, Mr. Hand, when you so persistently ignore mine?" • Hand made a gesture of impatience. "Mademoiselle, you may think me all kind* of a scamp, but I'm not idiot enough to hide behind a woman. Don't you know me well enough to know that?" he demanded so earnestly that he seemed very cross. ,, Agatha looked into his face With a new curiosity. He was very young, after all. Something in the way'sof experience had been grinding philosophy, of a sort, into him—or out of him. Wealth and position had been his natural enemies, and he had somehow been led to an attitude of antagonism that was, at bottom, quite foreign to his nature. So much Agatha could guess at, and for the rest, instinct taught her to be kind. But she was not willing now to take him so seriously ss he seemed to be taking himself. She couldn't resist teasing him a bit, by saying: "Nevertheless, Mr. Hand, you did hide behjnd me; you had to." He did hot repjy tocher bantering smile; but, 1n the pause that followed, stepped to the bookcase where she had been standing, gingerly picked up a soft bit of linen and lace front the floor and dropped it into her lap. Then he faced her in an attitude of pugnacious irritation. For a Brief moment his silence fell from him. "I didn't have to," he contradicted. "I let it go because I thought you were a good sport, and you wouldn't catch me backing out of your gams, not by a good deal! But there's a darned 3ight—pardon me, Mademoiselle!— there's too much company round here to suit me! You know me, you know you can trust me, Mademoiselle! But what about Tom, Dick and Harry all over this place—casting eyes at a man?" Agatha, almost against her will, was forced to meet his seriousness half-way. "I don't know what you mean," she said. "Tell 'em!" he burst out "Tell 'em the whole story. Tell that blamed snoopin' manager that /I'm a <$rook and a kidnaper, and then he'll stop nosing round after me. I'll have an hour's start, and that's all I want. Dogging a man—running him down under his own autohtobile!" Hand permitted himself a dry smile at his own Joke, but immediately add«*4? "It goes against the graft, Mademoiselle!" Agatha's face brightened, as she grasped the clue to Hand's wrath. "I've no doubt," she answered gravely. She knew the manager. "But why should I tell him, as you suggest?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) Sublime Thought*.

Palms marked the course of the river. They were of a kind which is of • greater girth half way, up than at the ^bottom. These palms grow fruit iwhich look like cocoanuts, but are really very different. During the unripe stage the natives obtain them for the water contained In three little partitions in the middle.

We came quite suddenly on the lioness only about six feet away, luckily stone dead. The bullet had' caught that it would make them very strong but . also because they liked the flavor. There were a good many hippos near this camp. If one went down to the river during the heat of the day, one might wait for hours, but no sign of any such creature would appear. But towards evening they were to be seen and heard all the time. 1 think a hippo must be able to stay for hours under water, though he may get breath unseen by putting up the tip only of his nose under cover of'something. The natives rarely succeed in kill ing them. When they do, it is generally by moonlight, when the hippos come out of the water and roam about on land. The native hunter conceals himself beside one of the well-worn tracks and shoots the poor animal at a range of about two yards. It is lucky that the natives have no better guns, as in the dry season the river is so shallow in parts that when they (the hippos) sink one can see their every movement under water.

Hiram Johnson, of Call* foraia. Secretary Bryan in a message inspired by the president informs the governor that while the right of the state of California to enact such legislation as she may see fit on the subject of land tenure, they are urged to recognize the international Character of such legislation and strike out the words "ineligible to citizenship/' Thus President Wilson has adopted essentially the same course in handling the anti-Japanese tendencies of the Pacific coast as was taken by former President Roosevelt in 1907 and more recently by President TafL Temporary relief from the strained relations now existing is expected promptly when the president's message is published in Japan. A large part of the Japanese resentment is said to be due to the fact that the Japanese people as a whole have believed the federal government was entirely willing that California adopt even the most drastic measures. It is expected that when the president's efforts to smooth out the situation becomes known that there will be at least a suspension of the anti-American demonstrations and the talk of snaking war on the United States.

Adjourn in Peace After a Stormy Session in Washington. After a long and bitterly fought battle Mrs, William C. Story was elected president of the Daughters of the American Revolution at their annual continental congress at Washington. Mrs. Story represents the conpervatives or anti-administration forces and her election is the result of a fight lasting for five years. The closing sessions were peaceful. Resolutions indorsing the restoration of the army canteen and the Sunday opening ot ML Vernon were adopted. j Demonstration by Suffragettes. Militant suffragettes took possession of the famous Billingsgate monument in the fish market distriot of London, just south of London bridge, and for several hours -rained suffrage literature and missilss on the crowds beneath, stopping all tram, vehicle and foot traffic in the streets. The women alternated their, cannonade of pamphlets with screams of "Votes for women," and "Victory or death," while the fish vendors in the streets below, enraged at the tie-up of business, replied in that kind of language which has made Billingsgate famous the world over. •• i Morgan Inheritance Tax.

AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CANADA'S IMMIGRATION. A letter dated February 2,1913, published in a "People's Voice" column in a Swedish paper, while dealing with other conditions in Canada, such as grain yield, social conditions, etc, says: "We have had fine weather until New Year's, when some enow fell and - was cold for a few days, but during the past few t days we .have lovely weather again.*' The writer, who lives near Davidson, Sask., says they got from 30 to 85 bushels of wheat gar acre, 60 bushels of oats and about 20 bushels of flax. All homesteads are taken in the vicinity, but wild land can he bought at reasonable figures. Word from Alberta gives the information that up to the 22nd of February there were eighty-four and a quarter hours of bright sunshine, but that did not come up to the corresponding month of 1912, when the meteorological department registered 120 hours for the 29 days. February was exceptionally fine all through, but 1912 went one better, and was a glorious month. However, taking the weather generally throughout the northern hemisphere, February has been marked by serious and severe disturbances resulting in heavy storms, bad weather and low temperatures In. many other parts. The coldest temperature this week occurred on Tuesday morning, when the thermometer registered 23.5 below, and the coldest Wednesday was 11 below. During the last fortnight of February 9 and 8.7 hours of bright sunshine spread its glorious rays over Edmonton, and this out of a possible total of about ten hours is something to talk about.—Advertisement Temptation may come to the woman who sits down and waits, but a man usually meets it half way. HANDS ITCHED AND BURNED Abbotsford, Wis.—'My son had eczema on his hands for about one year. The eczema started with a rash. His hands were sore so he could not close them, and when he wet his hands they hurt him so he could hardly wash. His hands itched and burned just terrible and if he would scratch -them, they would break out into sores. He could not get any rest or sleep, and his hands looked quite bad. "We had medicine and salve and it kept getting worse all the time. I got some Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and after washing his hands with the Cuticura Soap and putting some of the Cuticura Ointment on two times a day and tying cloths on them for about six months they got well and have not broken out since. Cuticura Soap and Ointment cured him entirely." (Signed) Mrs. Lawrence Klehl, Feb. 18, 1918. g Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free, with 32-p. Skin Book.

A Gold Medal A gold medal to the boy or girl between tbe ages of 10 and 15 years who writes tbe best composition, not to exceed 800 words, on the repair and maintenance of earth roads, is to be awarded by Logan Waller Page, Office of Public Roads, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. AU compositions must be submitted to Mr, Page before May 15th, 1913, and the medal will be awarded as soon thereafter as the composition can be graded. The composition may be based on knowledge gained from books or other sources; but no quotations should be made. Only one side of the paper must be written upon and each page should be numbered; the name, age and address of the writer, and the name and location of tbe school which she or he is attending must be plainly written at the top of the first page. After many years experience in dealing' with th«* public road situation of the country, it is Mr; Page's belief that ignorance on the subject of repair aud maintenance of roads is as mnch the cause of their bad condition as any one factor. It is expected that the competition will bring about a better understanding of the subject of repair and main tenance in the rural districts. Many children living in the rur al districts have experienced the disadvantages of roads made impassible thru a lack of maintenance and it's expected that their interest m the competition will stimulate greater interest among the parents. Bad roads have pre vented many children from obtain ing a proper education and have even prevented doctors from reach* ing the s£ie of rural patients in time'to save their ^ves. Pinckney Locals F.

Latest investigations tend to confirm the estimates of fewer than 500 deaths in the floods that swept over i score of cities in Ohio and Iadiana last week. As the waters receded from Dayton, 'olumbus and other places, leaving a thick coating of mud, alarm was causju by a rap.d rise of the" Ohio and the Mississippi rivers, inundating parts of cities along their banks. There is not much danger of loss of life in these places, however, as the inhabitants have hills to flee to and ..:e used to floods. Revised reports indicate that the number drowned in Dayton may not exceed 150. The death list at Piqua, Ohio, fell from the estimate of 50 to 13 known dead. Sanitary experts from the United States public health service are ordered to Dayton by Secretary of War Garrison to protect city from pestilence. The Water has receded in Dayton and rescuers in some sections use canoes and flat bottomed boats, while in other sections relief squads wade. People throughout country are urged by Daytot v f committee not to send messages luiry, as they cannot be delivered because the wire capacity is taxed to the utmost by official and public business. Brookville, Indiana, \s - practically under martial law and 20 men have been driven out of the city after loot ing damaged homes £hd buildings. T c hundred and fifty children rescued from the flood hare only night clothe? and wagon trains carried food and clothing from Connersville to the stricken people. The work of rehabitation began at Dayton and other flooded cities as the w^rk of rescue approached its end. The all important weather 3howed improvement as viewed by -efugees, for it was warmer,and pleasant to frost and water-chilled bones. Sanitary experts accepted the rise in temperature with mixed feelings, for the cold had retarded decomposition it an'mal matter and refuse. Members of the citizens' relief eomittee at Dayton, are apprehensive if a water famine. It is believed there little chance that the present sup- 1v can bQ mad 1 to last until the wa- ?re in me again. R. H. Jrart, herd of the relief supplies com- Vttee, issi'ed an appeal to all cities ?n the country, asking that as m u h " otfled water as posisble be shipped o Dayton immediately. It is especlalfy desired that th's water be strictly pure, as it is practically Impossible to ,: •* V». '— boil the water for drinking pur poses. Medical supplies were reported woefully short. Drug stocks were largely destroyed, and the chests of the militia, as weil as supplies sent by other cities, have in many instances been delayed by washouts and other mishaps of the flood. Access to Dayton is now comparatively easy and relief trains are arriving nearly every hour with food, clothing, medical supplies, physicians, and Red Cross nurses. No city even in war times was ever under stricter martial law. The provost guard sounds the curfew at 8 o'clock. With it all passes are revoked automatically and none permitted on the street. The sleep of the exhausted stricken was interrupted continually by the boom of guns. Despite the drastic military measures many attempted to pass the lines and looters were busy. The militia had orders to shoot to kill aftqr one warning and the continual crash of the muskets was evidence that the warnings would not stop the marauders. With nearly 15,000 persons in the towns along the Kentucky side of the Ohio river driven from their homes by the rising yellow tide sweeping down the Ohio valley, and with more than 3,500 homes altogether or partly submerged, the flood situation in that icinity is assuming graver proporions at Cincinnati, the water front buildings are all partly under water nd much damage has been done. One life has been lost as a direct result of the high water here. Miss Inna Smith, the first victim drowned, lost her life in an attempt to reach Newport in a skiff that capsied in midstream. Her three men companions were rescued. Newport and Covington, virtually are suddounded by water. Conditions there are worse than elsewhere and nearly 10,000 persons have been driven from their homes. Relief measures, however, are adequate. In these two cities the onlv fear is that health conditions would be ser'ously affected because of the clogging of the sewage system and the stagnation of backwater. As yet the water works have continued in operation, The electric light plants already have had to ceane, but gas plarts are not interrupted. In the Kentucky towns of Dayton, Ludlow, Bellevue and Bromley, identical conditions exist, but in their cases all communication w?th Cincinnati, Newport and Covington has been suspended* Lansing.—A Michigan United railway interurban car was wrecked at Holt, ten miles south of here. Six persons were injured, one fatally. It was a rear-end collision, between the local passenger and a freight car on the Lansing-Jackson division at Guns Crossing. The freight had stopped to take on a consignment of milk for a Lansing factory and was occupying the rightof-way when the Lansing local came around the curve. Motorman George Mahrle of the local applied the air and made several attempts to stop the car, but the rails were covered with a fine coating of Ice and the brakes refused to work. Mt. Clemens.—As the result of Injury and exposure a month ago, when he broke his leg while returning from a fishing trip on Lake St. Clair, David Peltier, fifty-nine years old, died at the home of his son, Fred, here. At the time he was injured he lay in his house for hours in the cold before assistance reached him. Grand Rapids.—Asa Rickard, seventeen, of Traverse City, indicted by the federal grand jury on the charge of stealing a post office money order, has been freed because of probable fatal illness. He was attacked by heart failure. The court allowed him to return home to return when wanted, if he survives. Carlotte.—Warren McClintic, for years a well known resident of this county and the past three years a resident of this city, dropped dead while transacting business in a local bank. His widow and two daughters survive. Port Huron.—Pauline Schroeder of Lynn township has been ordered committed to the asylum at' Pontiac. The woman had started no less than three fires on the floor of her home. Saginaw. — The Eighth District Dental society was organized in Saginaw and Dr. W. L. Crego elected president. Dr. G. Burke, Detroit, gave an address. The dental law before the state legislature was indorsed. Houghton.—Hundreds of persons are leaving the dozen towns of the MichigLn copper country, Houghton and Keweenaw counties, weekly, the greater number going to Detroit, where they seek employment in the automobile factories, and to the Sudbury and Cobalt mining districts of Ontario and the mining and farming districts of northern Minnesota. Repeated rumors of coming strikes among the mine employes of the district have caused many to leave this county, although many going to Minnesota and the west are planning to take up firming lands. Bay City.—Judge Collins sentenced five men to Marquette prison, that being the only reformatory available. David Hill, forty-one years old, drew a one to two years' sentence, with a maximum of five, for robbing a freight car.

"I have been a coffee user for years, and about two years ago got into a very serious condition of dyspepsia and indigestion. It seemed to me I would fly to pieces. I was so nervous that at the least noise I was distressed, and many times could not straighten myself up because of the pain;" Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee. "My physician told me I must not eat any heavy or strong food, and ordered a diet, giving me some medicine. I followed directions carefully, but kept on using coffee and did not get any better. "Last winter my husband, who was *way on business, had Postum served to him in the family, where he board* ed. He liked it so well that when he came home he brought some with him. We began using it and I found it most excellent "While I drank it my stomach never bothered me in the least, and I got 'over my nervous troubles. When the Postum was gone we returned to coffee, then my stomach began to hurt me as before', and the nervous conditions came on again. "That showed me exactly what was the cause of the whole trouble, so X quit drinking coffee altogether and kept on using Postum. The old troubles left again and have never re* turned."

S T A P L E FOOD FOR CHICKENS Hens Cannot Give Best Results When Fed Grain Alone—Fowls Demand Variety of Feed. Grain is the staple food for poultry, and will be used for. that purpose as long as fowls are kept on farms, but hens cannot give good results on grain alone. It is beneficial to them and will be at all times relished, but the demands of the hens are such as to call for a variety. In the shells of eggs as well as their composition are several forms of mineral matter and nitrogen, which can only be partially obtained from grain. Even grains vary in composition, and when fowls are fed on one kind for a long time they will begin to refuse it, as they may be oversupplied with the elements of the food partaken and lack the elements that are best supplied from some other source. Fpr this reason they will accept a change of food, which is of itself an evidence that the best results from hens can only be obtained by a variety of food- Corn and wheat may be used as food with advantage, but must be given as a portion of the ration and not made exclusive articles of diet. * Fighting Ringworm. Ringworm is a contagious disease due to a fungas. Man, horses and cattle are commonly affected, and it is easily transmitted from one animal to another. The affection first asserts Itself as a ringlike patch, with the hair broken off. The usual location is on the skin around the eyebrows, or muzzle, scattering from there over different parts of the body. Treatment is sometimes easy, more often difficult to completely eradicate. All brushes and utensils in contact with infected animals should be sterilized. Wash the patch with soap and water, and apply tincture of iodine or lard and salicylic acid, six part to one of salicylic acid. Good Combs and Brushes.

When the pure-bred swine are kept for breeding purposes they should be given every opportunity for bone and muscle development r|ther than production of fat HOW TO PREVENT OAT SMUT Grain Should Be Treated With Forntialin Solution in Morning and Drilled in Same Day. To prevent oat smut, the grain should be treated with formalin It takes about one ounce of formalin for every five bushels of grain to be treated. Clean a space on the barn floor and thoroughly sprinkle it with the formalin solution before spreading the seed grain. The oats should be run through the fanning mill twice to remove all light grain, as only heavy clean seed should be sown. Spread down the seed grain, then sprinkle the grain with the formalin solution made as follows: Formalin, one ounce; water, two and one-half gallons; mix thoroughly. The solution can be applied with a fine rose watering pot; shovel the grain over so that every seed is coated with the solution. When all the grain is coataed, shovel the grain into a round pile and cover with sacks for not more than two or three hours, then spread out, and as soon as the oats will not stick together it is fit to sow or drill. The grain should be treated in the morning and drilled in the same day. The drill should be set to drill two and one-fourth to two and one-half bushels to the acre, as the oats, having absorbed considerable water are larger than dry oats. Have the ground thoroughly mellowed; drill the oats in with 250 pounds to the acre of some good bone fertilizer. Even if the ground is in good order, it will pay to use the fertilizer. The fertilizer will ripen the grain early, the straw will stand up stiff and cannot be blown down by summer storms and the yield will be increased fully 10 to 12 bushels per acre. FOR CUTTING PRICKLY PEAR Implement Invented by Texas Man for Quickly Clearing Land for the Purpose of Cultivation. In describing an implement intended for catting and handling prickly pear, invented by R. H. Brown of San Antonia, Tex., the Scientific American says: This invention pertains to implements for clearing the ground for purposes of cultivation, the object being to provide an implement which may be easily and quickly handled for the Prickly Pear Implement purpose of cutting and handling prickly pear. Broadly, the improvement consists in the provision of an implement which embodies a handle and a transversely elongated head at one end of the handle, having an outer cutting edge and an engaging prong or tine extending from one side thereof. Most Serious Problem. Infectious abortion among cattle has become one of the most serious problems for cattle owners so far as Infectious diseases are concerned. It is well entitled to rank in importance with tuberculosis, hog cholera, and Texas fever. Two new medical treatments have recently appeared, either one of which may possibly prove to be of very great importance. One, abortin, is used like tuberculin, as a diagnostic; and the other Is a vaccine, which it is hoped will immunize heifers against the infection There is not sufficient reliable information available as yet, upon which to justify any definite statement. Breeders should keep these things in mind and watch for future developments. Value of Education. The question is often asked, "Of how much value is school training to farmers from a business standpoint?" A recent agricultural eurvey of several townships of Tompkins county, New York, made by the College of Agriculture of Cornell University has revealed many Interesting and suggestive facts bearing upon rural sociology. To quote from the Nummary: "The survey shows that a high school education is worth as much to a farmer as $6,000 worth of 5 per cent, bonds. A college education Is worth nearly twice as much." Good Milk Records. It is worthy of notice that within 12 months the Ayrshire Breeders' Association had three cows qualify for advanced registry with records of over 20,000 pounds of milk each, and this, too, under widely different conditions, two from the favorable locality of the state of Washington and one from the hills of Vermont Cost of Production.

He is a chubby little fellow who has not begun to stretch out yet, and he keenly feels his "shortage." He demands that he be recognized as a little "grownup." Several days ago the teacher planned to instruct her pupils in dancing "the Butterfly." A five-year-old girl who is small for her age, and just a trifle stouter than our hero, but an adept at dancing, was assigned as his partner. He gazed at her in silence. Then he took hold of her hand and, with his mouth set firmly, walked straight over the the teacher. "Don't you think you'd better give me a bigger girl ?'f he asked.—Indianapolis News.

Furthermore! It seems that the rest of the nation, which shuddered with virtuous horror at the Manhattan crimes, has good reason to feel ashamed. Compared to Russia, this joyous land of freedom averages more than three murders to one. Worse than Russia by far Is this country j n its reckless disregard for human life; and It Is piling up ho mlaids records at such a rate thst even Insurance experts are beginning to wonder If our vaunted civilization Is progressing as fast as we think. "'• It Is always an "open season" for unpopular Russian officials. Pot shots at them are never held to violate the ethics of true sportsmanship. Aside from them, however, the Russian is not usually looking for human game. When it comes to real execution, a New York gunman of the good old days before Lieutenant Becker was convicted would put the ordinary nihilist in the class of sparrow shooters. For real deviltry, the nicely manicured murderers of the Second avenue coffee houses were in a class by themselves; the rough-necked, long-bearded Russian agitators, who knew no better than to throw the primitive and unwieldly bombs, could never expect to rival their records. Barring nihilists and anarchists, however, the great mass of Russians are not murderers at heart By far the greatest proportion of the population is composed of Ignorant peasants, who drudge along as best they may with an extra portion of food and drink on feast days. They are stolid individuals, with a tingle ot pessimism and melancholy as the common heritage of the Slav race. Considering that almost exactly one official a day is brought down, the Russian marksmanship may be held to be fairly good, in view of the primitive methods and weapons. In the body of the population, though, the homicides are not greatly, if any, in excess of those of England. For the five years 1907 to 1912, according to figures recently given out by the statistical department of the ministry of the Interior, there were 7,716 killings, an average of 1,543 annually. With only 298 homicides a year to her 35,000,000 people, England is one of the few nations with a record as low or lower. On the other hand, America, with about 3,000 slaying* per year in her "registration area" alone, is at the top of the lifetaking nations. Just how many murders there are in this country in a year has never been definitely ascertained. It is known, however, that, in the* 53 per cent, of the population included in the .states that keep accurate vital statistics, the ratio of killings per 100,000 of population has ranged fromj, 6 to fi. In the big cities it has gone as high as 8.3. Judging from the known to the unknown there must be at least 5,000 to 0,000 persons slain every years. For instance, during 1911, there were 1,300 lives taken in our thirty largest cities, giving the high-water ratio above quoted. In other words, there are almost as many persons killed in our big towns as in the whole of Russia. In the decade ending with 1910 there were nearly 10,000 lives taken in these same cities, or three times as many as occurred in England in the same length of time. ~ On this point F. L. Hoffman in a recent article in the Spectator, an insurance journal, said: "The comparison brings out In startling contrast the disregard of human life in the United States at the present time. The subject is obviously one of most serious importance, not only to life insurance companies, but also to the public at large, and, granting the defects" in the available statistics^ there can be no question of doubt buy that* the American homicide rate Is exceedingly high and that the rate Is on tfce increase. A condition of thia kind ta not compatible with the common assumption that actual pror THE MURDEROUS RECORD OF AMERICA COMPARED WITH THAT OF RUSSIA AND OTHER NATIONS. Murders In Russia for five years (1907-11) 7,716 Average yearly number of murders In Russia 1,543 Murders in the registration area of America (about 53 per cent of the total population Is included in the area keeping vital statistics) for five years (1905-09) 12,198 Average yearly number of murders in the registration area of America 2,439 Average rate per 100,000 of population of murders In registration area of America fpr five years (1909-09) 6.5 Average annual number of murders In America for five yetirn, estimated at 5.5 per 100,000of (tabulation (latter 93,000,000) 6,116 Ratio of murders in America to murders in Russia, over 3 to 1 Germany's ratio of murders per 100,000 1.86 England's ratio of murders per 100,000 of population 0.9 Total number of murders In England in ten years (1900-09).. 2,982 Average annual number of murders In England in ten years (1900-09 < ; 298 Total number of murders in registration area of America in ten years (1900-09) * 16,077 (Returns for first five years probably incomplete, as are most of our early vital statistics.)

Undoubtedly our worst record, which moved Mr. Hoffman to make such a severe assertion, is that of our cities, and, according to the statistics compiled for his article, this follows: HOMICIDE STATISTICS FOR 30 AMERICAN CITIES. 1901-1010 Rate per No. 100,000 Memphis, Tern 556 Charleston, S.

Nor is it strange that we reach a point where as Mr. Hoffman says, we begin to have grave doubts as to whether, our vaunted civilization Is all that it is cracked up to be. Counting only the 30 principal cities, the average ratio per 100,000 of population hail increased from 5 since the decade ending with 1891 to 7.2 for the 10 years ending with 1911. The maximum so far was reached in 1907, when the ratio rose to 7.8. Such a showing, indeed, moved our former ambassador to Germany, Andrew D. White, to declare some years ago in a speech to the students of Cornell University, of which he used to be president: "My own studies on the subject, which have now lasted through years and have been made in all parts of the Union, convince roe that we lead the civilized world, with the exception, perhaps, of Lower Italy and Sicily, in murders, and especially in unpunished murders. "In proof of this you have only to consult statistics for the last 15 years, which show that the number of murders has risen in proportion far beyond that of the increase of population and from about 3,000 a year to close upon 10,000. Also that of recent years only about one homicide in 74 has been capitally punished." While there were more than 1,650 murders in American cities In 1911 there were in all the Nation less than a hundred executions. . When it comes to a section study of murder, the south, with its large colored population, leads. While in actual numbers Chicago is at the head of the "murder cities," its ratio is far eclipsed by some of the smaller towns below it. Lowest of all ratios are shown by the eastern cities, 10 of which during 1911 had 442 homicides or 5.2 per 100,% 000 of population. Muj§h worse were the central municipalities, six of which showed 391 slaylngs or 9 per 100,000. Just a shade better were the three biggest western towns, with 67 killings or a ratio of 8.5. Away the highest was the southern group, nine of which produced 400 casualties/ reaching the terrible rate of 20 per 100,000 or one for every 5,000 of their population.

He was a fatherly, sympathetic man, making his calls no matter what tbe weather or the distance, and even if ne had got to be sixty-five years old he had no right to turn the people over to a young man fresh from college and not yet having a case to diagnose. "Oh, he'll do—hell do," was the doctor's reply to the grumblers. "I had to start that way, you know. I shall be here to help him out if he needs it. IVe tried him out and found him very bright" Mr. Royal Preston fully realized what he had to meet, and that it would take time .to remove the prejudice. He must do the best he could and hope to be lucky with his first few patients. "If you get a call from the Gilberts, the rest of the people will follow/* said Doctor Bliss. "The Gilberts are rich and sort o' run things in this community. Have you seen Nina Gilbert yet?" "Not to know her." "Charming, handsome girl and an heiress. I must get her to champion your cause. Don't fall in love with her, for she is not for you. She can have her choice of several rich men's sons." That evening Doctor Preston attended a lecture in the town hall. In front of him Bat two young ladies, and as the lecture didn't Interest them much, they presently began talking to each other, leading off with! "Mollie, have you heard about the new doctor?" "Yes. Nina." Doctor Preston pricked up his ears. It was possible, but not probable, that here was the Nina Gilbert the old doctor referred to. Yes, good-looking so far as he could judge, with a haughty poise of the head. "Isn't it a shame?" she queried of Mollie. "What?" "Why, Doctor Bliss stepping out and leaving us to the mercy of a fledgling." . "He Is pretty young. I understand he's only about twenty-tour." "And never had a case. He's surely some quack that has deceived the good old doctor." % "But if we are ailing?" "If it's any one In our family, we'll send to the city for some one that knows beans from putty. Mrs. Davis says anybody would know the young man was a quack to look at him." A doctor must have nerve. Doctor Preston had it. If he had been a failure as to nerve he would have jumped out of one of the open windows, or at least stood up and taught those young ladles how to swear in three different languages. He may have flushed a little, but his nerve held him fast Of all the 200 people making up the audi* ence he appeared to be paying the most attention to the words of the, lecturer. The young ladles had Just ceased to discuss him when his landlord came down the aisle and halted and said: "Guess I'll have to take a seat with you, Doctor Preston." "That's right—sit 4own." "Doctor Preston!" gasped Miss Nina. "Doctor Preston!" gasped Miss Mollie. There he was right behind them, and must have heard their comments and criticisms. They hadn't nerve. Kp young lady has need of i t ' Their best plan was to rise up and walk out doors as carelessly as if old Doctor Bliss was only forty years old. Many people looked at them in surprise, and the lecturer got so muddled up that he got it that Eve was created before Adam, and that she was disagreeably surprised when he came loafing; along one day. "Well, that cooks me," mused Doe* tor Preston as he walked home after the lecture. "They were simply discussing me before. Now that they know I overheard them they can never see any good in me. It's surely good-by to the Gilberts for me." Doctor Preston was fit for the best society in the village, but be did not seek it. He could accept of no invitations without meeting the two young ladies who had a grievance, and it would be embarrassing to both sides. He had three or four patients and effected speedy cures, when there came a lazy day and he got out the horse and sulky for a make-believe call to some farmer's house. Of course, you know that this is a little trick practiced by all village doctors when working up a practice. They order their boy to harness up with the speed of lightning—rush out as if a dozen men were at death'e door--ciimb into the sulky, and with a "g'iang" and a cut of the whip they are off like a tornado. '% "Some one must be badly hurt or very sick," remarked a d o ^ l # s o ^ . and about tbe time they were remarking the horse is being pulled down to a walk, halt a mile away. Doctor Preston had jogged along for three or four miles to kill time, and was thinking that the blacksmith's trade held out many possibilities for a brainy man. when he got a sudden 4 jolt Coming towards him on the broad highway was a pony and cart driven by a girl. No, not driven, because the driver had lost the lines and they were squirming under the potty's feet, while she waB clinging to the seat like grim death. No screaming with terror! No calls for help! Just a pale-faced girl, with tight-shut teeth—Just Nina Gilbert! There was timeYor the doctor to turn out and leave the runaway a clear road, but there was the bridge he had just crossed. If the pony swerved so much as a foot when he struck the bridge there must be a • smash. To spring from the sulky and poise to jump out on the runaway for a bridle-hold meant taking a hundred chances to one. The doctor threw up a hfind to tell the girl to brace herself, and then wheeled his rig square across the road. He hadn't five seconds to spare before the crash came. The pony never raised a foot to leap the obstruction, but struck the horse like a cannon ball, and there was a grand smash. Seen in a moving picture show, it surely would have captured the kids. When Doctor Preston sat up and wondered where he was at, both horses and vehicles were mixed up His horse was dead, and the other bad a broken leg. His sulky was kindling wood, and the pony cart needed hundreds of repairs. It slowly dawned on the doctor that there was something else. He had no broken bones, though he had been badly jolted. He got to his feet, staggered around to see Mlsi Nina Gilbert lying unconscious in the road. The sight aroused him and gave him strength. After a brief examination he said to himself: "Left arm broken; scalp wound; right cheek gashed; probably half a dozen bad bruises; unconscious, but not so badly hurt." A farmer came driving along in a buggy. "I've got to borrow your rig to get this patient home." said the doctor. "Runaway?" was queried. "As you see." "Who is the gal?" "Miss Gilbert of tbe village." "Then you don't borrow no rig of mine! She's a high-flyer. She drives around the country crowding humble folks like me into the ditch." Doctor Preston had to thrash the farmer to gain his point but it was well and cheerfully done. Then he threatened to do it over again unless he lent a hand to lift the patient up. Miss Nina regained consciousness barely five minutes before reaching home. Her first words after recognising the doctor were: "I—I thought you'd surely be killed!" "Only a few bruises. You got the worst of it." "Am I badly h u r t r "A broken arm is the worst Yon will want to send to the city for a doctor, I jLuppose?" "No", sir, I won't!" was the spirited reply. "It's your case, and you'll tend to it." "But-^r _ "That's all, please,*9 and then to her father and mother, who came rushing out of the house: "Don't make such a fuss over i t please. Poor Billy saw a tramp asleep by the roadside and bolted with me. I lost the lines the very first thing." "I will telephone at once to—" be* gan the father, but he was halted by: • "I have already arranged with Doctor Preston to attend my case." It was while the doctor was at his office to get the things needed to work with that Miss Nina, despiteher sufferinge^ told the brief but thrilling story; That was why the young medico found two hands stretched but to him oh his return. The broken arm was set, the scalp wound sewed up, and next day when old Doctor Bliss accompanied the young doctor to Inspect the work, be • said to the parents: ~ ""Couldn't have been done better by any city surgeon." The villagers did not hear of Doctor Preston's quick wit and heroism from ^ his own lips, but when it was known he was kept very busy shaking hands. Jn a day or two another horse and sulky were driven around to replace his loss, and the old doctor shook hands with him and said: ^¾*^'¾^ "My boy, you are beginning far bet* ten than* where I left oft.

Mediterranean pirates no longer chase unfortunate vessels that have ventured near the inhospitable coast of Moghre, but slavery still exists everywhere in .Morocco, Mme. Doctor fcegey writes in Pittsburg Gazette-Times. Marakech is still, as it was at the time of which Voltaire wrote, the headquarters of this shameless traffic. In vain France forbids slavery in all her African possessions, but as long as numerous droves of human cattle are driven into Marakeoh by caravans from Souss and Tafllet the slave trade will continue. The Imported slaves are readily sold, either openly in the market or secretly. The slave market is situated In the quarter of the aularines, or druggists. Nothing is more pitiful than to see this slave market, where sales are made in bright daylight under the protection of Allah. Imagine an enormous open square, surrounded by a large number of boxes, in the center Is a covered gallery. Under which the vendors stand In rainy weather. A little before the opening time of the market the slave traders bring in their human merchandise, leaving the actual sale to Commissioners, dellals. Slav* Mart Opened With Prayer. Women, children, youth and grown men are driven promiscuously into the boxes, in most cases they make no attempt at resistance. They know full well that they have nothing to say, and that they will be sold whether they like It or not. Little by little the square Is filled- up by purchasers. Everybody tries to get the best place to obtain a good view of the slaves. At last tbe dellals arrive. The market is opened with a solemn prayer. Standing near the entrance gate with their hands open to simulate "the book," they place themselves under the protection of Sidl bel Abbes, Ke-patron of town, and in a loud voice ctte the "Fatiha," or first sourate of the Koran. It reads: "Praised be Allah, master it the universe, the lenient, the merciful, the ruler on the day of retribution. It is thee whom we adore, it is thy help we implore—" When the invocation is over, each del la 1 takes charge of the lot of slaves intrusted to him. A hasty toilet Is made, consisting in removing the most filthy rags and replacing them by neatly clean clothes. This enhances the value of the ware, and the sale begins. The dellals run all around the square in all directions, followed by the group of women, children and men they have to sell. If any buyer appears to be Interested the gang is stopped and he is given an opportunity to take his choice. He carefully examines the hair, teeth and limbs ot the creatures offered for sale. When a bargain is made it Is ratified before the adoul (notary). The price depends on the sex, age and qualty. of the slave. I have seen a man of twenty-four sold for 16 douros has* sanl, or about $14 in American money, while a girl of ten or twelve brings 120 to ISO douros. The very little children are worth next to nothing. A woman who knows how to cook may bring BOO douros. When a woman Is brought to the market with an infant at her breast or just able to walk it often happens that the buyer wants only the mother; the poor baby is then sold separately. Heartrending scenes take place, for the mother, even if she be the lowest kind of savage, refuses to submit to this brutal separation willingly, but Is soon beaten into submission by merciless blows. Sales Are Perfectly Legal. Inside the limit of two months the sale may be declared void, If the slave does not come up to the stipulated conditions. The Biave is then returned Jo the merchant. This gives rise to many lawsuits, and not seldom the cases are carried even to the pasha, who pronounces final judgment. These sales, as I have said, take place quite openly in the market, according to certain laws. The market is practically a state institution. Nobody can imagine what a harem is like, nor form any idea of the enormous number of women kept prisoners within its walls. I have visited harems containing 500 women and over. An ordinary citizen owns a score of slaves. Monogamy exists nowhere, and those too poor to own slaves are dreaming only of the day when they can possess some. The sultan shares the vices of his people. H1b harem is fantastic beyond all imagination. Besides the women he has about him at Fez, he has at Marakech, in the lar-el-makhzen, a reserve, 3,000 women. The royal harem Every time a caid fears the anger of the sultan, or merely wishes to please him, he offers him a number of women, often his own daughters. On account of this the number of unfortunate women is almost daily increased, and they are kept in a prison from which they are liberated only by death. TWO D E S S E R T S T H A T P L E A S E Raspberry Charlotte One of the Meet Delicious— Baptist Cake* Wnrth Giving a Trial. AMOOR16H nam Raspberry Charlotte—Butter a quart pudding dish, sprinkle in a layer of coarse bread crumbs (use tne; crumbs free from crust), put butter in little bits here and there, a layer of canned raspberries and a sprinkling of sugar. Continue in this way until dish is filled, using about equal measures of fruit and crumbs, one tablespoonful of butter and three-fourths cup sugar. Have the last layer crumbs. Cover and bake half An hour, then remove cover to brown top. Serve hot with cream. Cheap and delicious. Baptist Cakes—Place in a granite basin two cupfuls milk, one-fourth teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoon sugar, one rounding teaspoon butter; simmer only until butter is melted, remove from fire and when of blood heat stir in half a yeast cake dissolved in onefourth cup luke warm water and sufficient sifted flour to form a dough: cover and set In a warm place to rise. Knead thoroughly, breaking off into tiny pieces of walnut size; again let rise and fry in deep fat until crisp and brown. Either chopped nuts or raisins may be added if a richer break fast bread Is desired. Serve very hot in a folded napkin. This quantity makes enough for two meals and may be reheated in the oven. ONE OF T H E BEST OF SALADS As Season for This Delicacy le Almost Here, This Is Good Recipe to Remember. Fill the bottom of the salad dish with aspic jelly and set on ice until it is very hard. Then in the salad dish place a smaller bowl, but large enough to hold the desired amount of salad. Fill the bowl with Ice and pour melted Jelly around it between the two dishes. When the jelly is hard remove the ice from the inner bowl, fill it with hot water for an instant and lift it out, being careful not to break the jelly. Now make any of the ordinary salads, or slice firm red tomatoes, with a little green, such as lettuce or celery, mixed among them. Place the salad in the space left in the Jelly, cover with more jelly and place in the refrigerator. When wanted, place the salad dish in hot water for a moment, reverse quickly and turn out on a cooled platter. Serve with mayonnaise dressing. Here and There. The adept in cooking does her work without many utensils. Milk puddings are the best desserts for children, but they should be varied. All green vegetables, , roots and tuberB should be crisp and firm when put on to cook. In cold weather cream sometimes refuses to "come" to butter. When such Is the case, set it away over night. By morning it will have separated, pour off the thick part, which a few minutes' stirring will bring to butter. When a large bottle of olives has been opened and a part of them used, those remaining in the brine sometimes become soft and almost tasteless To avoid this, pour half an inch of oilive oil on top and cork well. The olives will retain their flavor Indefinitely. Grape Cup. Pour half a cupful of boiling water over four tablespoonfuls of grape jelly and stir until dissolved. Add the acme quantity of cold water, one tablespoonful of sugar, and a little lemon juice. Place a lump of ice in a glass pitcher and pour the liquid over. Any kind of jelly will answer if the grape is not at hand. If current jelly is used then less lemon juice will be required, currants being rather tart. Argentine Soup, Soak one-half pint of split peas for two hours. Boil in plenty of water for two hours with two bay leaves and 12 seeds of dried red pepper. An hour before serving add one quart of good strong stock or three-quarters ot a pint of cold roast meat gravy. One-half hour before serving add one pint of canned tomatoes. Strain through a colander, season with salt to taste. Allow soup to boil again before serving. This soup may be varied by using different. fresh and dried vegetables. Potato Toddle. Into a kettle put two or three slices of salt pork cut In small pieces; fry grown, peel and slice four large pt tatoes and onions, putting first a layer of potatoes and* then onions, and so on. Season with salt and pepper and cover with water. Boil 20 minutes; when done add a generous lump of butter.

Everyone realizes the advantages of building on a good wide lot. but unfortunately real estate values are so high that not everyone can afford as large a space as he would like. Real estate operators have a habit of dividing up their sections into 25- foot lots, probably because that is a convenient number to figure with and not because it makes a space well suited for home building purposes. As a matter of fact, it is a difficult matter ordinarily to design a satisfactory frame house to occupy a 25- foot lot Some space must be left on each side for light and air; also the fire hazard arising from too close building must be considered. The accompanying design solves this problem especially well. The total width is 20 feet, being the width at the bay window. The balance of the right-hand wall is recessed 2¼ feet, giving additional light and air. The left-hand wall has no important window openings in it, so the house can be placed well up to the lot line on that side. Accordingly, on a 25- foot lot, even though the adjoining property should be built in close, a strip of lawn 7½ feet wide could be had along the right side of the house. can possibly be had. As an aid to ventilation it Is unsurpassed, and for comfort on the cold, rainy days of fall or spring, and even summer, when the furnace fire is out, there is nothing quite so cozy and comfortable as a blazing wood fire in the grate. The second floor of this house provides three good-sized bedrooms and a bath. There is also a generous supply of closet space. The house is planned along very economical lines as the estimated cost, $2,000, will indicate. This estimate provides for a good grade of material throughout, red oak floors Second Floor Plan. down stairs, yellow pine upstairs and birch trim throughout; also a good quality of plumbing and lighting fixtures.

Coming through the vestibule, which is 4^8 feet, access may be had to the parlor and also directly into the dining room. The parlor is 12 feet square, having a large octagon bay in front A cased opening connects this room with the dining room, 14 by 19 feet in size. An open stairway at one side of this room adds to Its apparent size. The kitchen is directly back of the dining room, with a' good-sized pantry to the left. The cellar stairs go down from this pantry. A nice feature of the dining room is the fireplace and china closet.; No house should be built without a good, serviceable fireplace, if such Out on the South side the other day the young man of the house was playing a graphophone. He put on records by Emilio Gogoroza, the famous barytone; John McCormack and Evan Williams, tenors, and even played numbers by quartets. Working upstairs at that time painting screens was a jack-of-all trades from a shop in the neighborhood. He stopped his work and listened intently to the various kinds of solo and ensemble vocal efforts. Finally when the young man went up to his room he found his ''audience/' open-mouthed, standing in the upper hallway, a dust brush In one hand and a screen in the other. "By gum," said the screen man, "I have heard a lot 0' singin' in my time, but for all-around good singin', both high and low, you beat anything I over hearn." The young man was so taken back by the compliment that he acknowledged It with a low bow and backed into his room. Then he had to retire to a closet in order to laugh out of range of the screen man's ears.— Kansas City Journal. Rich Find of Tin In China.

BETSY'S BIG HERO - i Story of Revolutionary W a r ; Girl Saves Life of British Spy Caught in Storm. BY CLARISSA MACK IE. It was snowing drearily and a bitter little wind moaned among the tree tops, creaking the frozen branches until they waved like stiff black fingers. Little Betsy Stevens slipped a hood over her bright hair, and, wrapping herself in a blue cloak, she swept a path from the kitchen door to the hen house and another and longer one out to the road that ran y&at the lonely house into the woods i>eyond. The road was lonely and fearsome because the British encampment was not far away and the red-coated soldiers had ravaged the little farmhouse of its choicest provisions, and of the big flock of chickens there remained one solitary member—Old Nicodemus, the ancient red rooster. Betsy Stevens looked carefully up and down the road, but there was not the flicker of a red coat, and when she had finished sweeping her path she leaned her round chin on the broom handle and looked dreamily through the failing flakes at the beginning of the road—where it emerged from another wood beyond which the American troops were encamped. It was from this wood that Betsy expected her lover to ride some fine day. No, she had never met him yet —he was a dream lover, but lately he had taken on the form and features of her hero, Gen. George Washington. Suppose, now, this very minute, a black charger should break through the woods and appear on the whiteness of the snowy road! How wonderful It would be—she would lead him to the house and her uricle and aunt would hasten to wait upon him and Betsy herself would carry In his supper! But tonight the road was deserted. No hero came forth to ask for food and lodging. Only the snow fell softly and the wind moaned bitterly. By the time the evening meal was cleared away the storm had Increased mightly. The wind, screamed piercingly around the snug farmhouse and the snow swirled madly' in freezing stinging flakes. Jabez Stevens and his wife went to bed early that night, knowing ths»t the early morning would bring them hard work after the storm. Betsy, nervous and excited by the storm, sat by the glowing logs on the kitchen hearth, cuddling Peter, the big black cat. The old clock In the corner ticked away the moments, and Betsy yawned, nodded drowsily, and went fast asleep. Suddenly she awoke with a little start. The Are had died down to red embers and-the hands of the clock Were pointing to midnight. "Mercy!" cried Betsy, "what will Aunt Ellen say when she finds out— eh, Peter, boy?" Peter opened his red mouth In a yawn just as there came a sound outside the kitchen door. It was a muffled thud followed by a faint groan. Betsy's heart stood still for an Instant. Then she tiptoed so?tly to the window and peered out. Huddled against the doorstep she could see a dark form splashed with snow. With a little cry of pity Betsy unlatched the door and the form tumbled Into the room. With slender, straining arms she managed to drag it to the fireplace, where it loped down in a h*«ap. When she had closed the doov upon the howling storm, Betsy ran z*> the storeroom, and in five minutes, she had made a mug of mulled cider and was holding it to the white, Btiff lips of the exhausted man. Her heart beat riotously. It could be no other than her hero— the great general—this splendid man wrapped In the dark cloak, his noble face as white as the snow he came out of. Slowly his lips moved, slowly he swallowed, once, twice; slowly his lids lifted above handsome hazel eyes to gaze for one bewildered instant into Betsy's tender Mttle face. He smiled and his lips murmured gratitude Then he jerked himself to a sitting posture and leaned against the big hickory chair. "You are very kind," he murmured in rather a surprised way as Betsy threw more logs on the fire. "Did you lose your way in the storm?" asked Betsy, intent on warming a skillet of porridge for the wayfarer. He looked up at her under straight dark brows. "Yes—I was sent on a secret mission and I was returning to camp when I lost my way, and I have been wandering around in the woods and fields for hours. Just as I had given up hope I saw a gleam of light from your window and so I came." Betsy placed the bowl of steaming porridge "and milk in his hands. "You bad better take off your cloak and spread it to dry," suggested Betsy as her guest arose and sat down in the big chair. He shook his bead and wrapped1 the cloak still more snugly about him. He had lost his hat, and the wind and snow bad removed the powder from his hair, so that it showed its natural color—a rich brown. Betsy watched him with tender, timid eyes. "Tomorrow be will tell us that he 1s the commander-in-chief," thought Betsy dreamily. "Now I must run and ask Uncle Jabez if I may put him in the spare chamber." She started to her feet, but the stranger lifted a shapely hand in protest. "Where are you going, little maid?" he asked, knitting his handsome brows. "To awaken my uncle and tell him that you are here—we will then prepare ajbed for you and—" she paused as the stranger rose with precipitate haste and came toward her. "I pray you do not disturb anyone," he pleaded in his rich voice. "I am going now—your kind ministrations have quite revived me. Some day— when the war is over—perhaps I may come and thank you again for saving my life." Betsy's heart beat tumultuously, and her lovely eyes drooped and as she stood there mute she could see a strange thing happening to his soaked cloak. Steam from the heat of the fire was rising from the cloth, and little by little it was drying and wherever it had dried it was—scarlet! He looked down and saw it too, and perhaps realizing that he was discovered to be her enemy, he boldly tossed aside the scarlet cloak so that she could see the splendor of his red and gold uniform. She had been entertaining one of his majesty's officers—one of the wicked Invaders of her country! Tears came to Betsy's lovely eyes— tears of disappointment. Who could make a hero out of a despised and hated Britisher? "Why are you crying?" he asked gently. "I—thought perhaps you were General Washington," whispered Betsy, fearful now that her uncle might wake up and find the intruder. "And if you had known who I was you would not have let me in out of the storm?" he queried. "Ah—yes—I must do that!" cried impulsive Betsy. "I would not have you think I am sorry for the little I could do—I am glad—glad—but I am sorry Uncle Jabez doesn't like—Britishers," she ended naively. He smiled very tenderly upon her troubled face. "I am sorry, too; but some day when this war is overthen may I come riding up to your door and make a call upon Mistress—?" "Betsy Stevens," supplied Betsy softly. "Yes, you may, sir—and 1 hope you will go through the war safely." "Thank you," he said as he bent over her little hand, and his lips brushed It. "God go with you," whispered Betsy as he stepped through the door; he heard her and his eyes shone wonderfully. Through many a lonely bivouac and on many a toilsome march he remembered the dense snowstorm and the little maid standing in the doorway against the warm background of fire and candlelight e - A very wonderful thing was that neither Uncle Jabez nor Aunt Ellen knew a word about it until long afterward. But there was something still more wonderful. After Betsy had spent four anxious years waiting for the war to end, worrying about the safety of her nameless hero, feeling a traitor because she had really lost her heart to the stranger, there came a day when the war was .over and everyone was feeling happy and almost cordial toward the vanquished enemy. It was on that happy day that Betsy went Into the woods seeking trailing arbutus, for it was May and tbe whole world was a-quiver with new life, A horseman came riding down the mossy path and Betsy turned, her hands full of the odorous pink bios soma. A warm color flooded her fair face as their eyes met. He had doffed his scarlet uniform and wore clothes of beautiful gray satin. v "Mistress Betsy Stevens," he said bowing to the ground, "I have com** back because I want to thank you fo* saving my life—and I have come baclr because I can never be happy again unless you promise to marry me and protect me hereafter." There was a smile in his eyes as he said this, and somehow Betsy could see In a flash that it was her hero standing there—and that she shou'd always love him despite country o* creed or protesting relatives. But it so happened that her relatives made no protest—indeed, they were quite delighted that little Betsy should make such a splendid marrlage. And it was not until she became Lady Fairbaim that Betsy and her husband told the relatives about the> snowy night when Betsy savtid his life.

DUNNE RUSHES MEN AND SUPPLIES TO SCENE. All Along the Mississippi Watero Are High and People Are Pteeing From Their Homes In Terror. Trainloads of persons left Cairo following receipt of news that the Ohio river was expected to reach a higher stage than during the disastrous flood of last spring. R. T. Lindley, the local weather forecaster, issued a statement, saying: "With weather conditions becoming somewhat unsettled in this river district and rapid rises continuing in the Ohio and Wabash rivers, a 54-foot stage is regarded as certain at Cairo if the levees below hold. Fifty-six feet is regarded as a strong possibility here. As a prudential (measure it is advisable that women, children and the infirm seek more secure refuge." The Ohio has reached 51.8 feet. Every attention is being given the levees here. Labor is scarce and an appeal was sent to Governor Dunne for help and he responded that he would send 1,000 men, 200 national guardsmen, 10,000 rounds of rations and 200,000 sacks. On the Missouri side of the Mississippi river water is reported everywhere. Hundreds of refugees have come into Cairo. Conditions in this entire district and are very serious.

A writer in the Wide World magazine says that the most curious sight he say at Cairo was men ironing clothes with their feet! The men were employed in the native tailoring establishments. Except for the long handle, the iron were shaped like the ordinary flat-iron, only larger. A solid block of wood rested on the top of the iron, and on this the men placed one foot, guiding the iron in the desired direction by means of the handle. For the sake of convenience, ironing boards were raised only a few inches from the ground, and, however strange the method may seem to us, the work was done very well and very expeditiously.

B u y HHIK&'S HOUR I T I S N E V E R ' D E A R J Monroe, Wis.— 'When my baby was six weeks old there came a rash on his face which finally spread until It got nearly all over his body. It formed a crust on his head, hair fell out and the itch was terrible. When he would scratch the crust, the water would ooze out in big drops. On face and body it was in a dry form and would scale oft. He was in great misery and at nights I would lie awake holding his hands so that he could not scratch and disfigure himself. I tried simple remedies at first, then got medicine, but it did no good. ''Finally a friend suggested Cuticura Remedies, so I sent for a sample to see what they would do, when to my surprise after a Jew applications I could see an improvement, and he would rest better. I bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and a cake of Cuticura Soap and before I had them half used my baby was cured. His head is now covered with a luxuriant growth of hair and his complexion is admired by everybody and has no disfigurements. 1* (Signed) Mrs. Annie, Saunders, Sept. 29, 1911.

H city of Amoy, r ^ E J T j ^ in tfae tHree months ended i n l y Washington, Aug. 1.—President Taft today was formally notified of his nomination by the Republican convention In Chicago, and formally accepted the, honor. The committee, headed by Senator Root, called qn the president at the White House. Mr. Taft's speech of acceptance was carefully prepared for use as a campaign document. It waa in part as follows: ^ Mr. Root and Gentlement of the Notification: Committee: I accept the nomination which you tender. I do BO with profound gratitude to the Republican party* < which baa thus honored me twice, I accept It as an approval of what I have done under Its mandate, and as an expression of confidence that .in a^ second administration I will serve the public well. The issue presented to the convention, over which your chairman presided with , such a just? and even hand, made a crisis in the party's life. A faction sought to force the party to violate a valuable and ^timehonored national tradition by entrusting the power of the presidency for more than two terms to one man, and that man, one whose recently avowed political views would have committed the party to radical proposals Involving dangerous changes. in our present constitutional form of representative government and our independent judiciary. , , , Achievements of the Party. This occasion is appropriate for the expression of profound gratitude at the victory for the right which was won at Chicago. . By that victory, the Republican party was saved lor future usefulness. It has been the party through which substantially all the nsegress and development in our country's history in the last fifty years has been finally effected. It carried the country through the war which saved the Union, and through Ihe greenback and silver crazes to a sound gold basis, which saved the country's honor and credit. It fought the Spanish war and successfully Bolved the new problems ot our island possessions. It met the incidental evils of the enormous trade expansion and extended combinations of capital from 1897 until now by a successful crusade against the attempt of concentrated wealth to control the country's politics and its trade. It en- JSt?d. I?S1Ai|tPIZ legislation to make the railroads the servants and qgt the masters of the people. It has enforced the anti-trust laws until those who were not content with anything but monopolistic control of various branches of Industry are now acquiescent In any plan which shall give them scope for legitimate expansion and assure them Immunity froia reckless prosecution. The list of legislative enactments for ihe uplifting of those of our people suffering a disadvantage In their social and economic relation to others enacted by the Republican party In this and previous administrations ls a long one, and shows the party sensitive to the needs of the people under the new view of governmental responsibility. Public Mind Inflamed. After mentioning in eome detail these enactments under the Republican administrations, Mr. Taft continued: In the work of rousing the people to the danger that threatened our civilization from the abuses of concentrated wealth and the power it was likely to exercise, the public imagination was wrought upon and a reign of sensational. Journalism and unjust and unprincipled muckraking has followed, in which much injustice has been done to honest men. Demagogues have seized the opportunity further to inflame the public mind and have sought tp turn the peciiliaf con1* ditions to their advantage. We are living in an age in which by exaggeration of the defects of our present condition,, by false charges of responsibility for it against individuals and classes, by holding up to the feverish imagination ot the less fortunate and the discontented the possibilities of a millennium, a condition of popular unrest has been produced. New parties are being formed, with the proposed purpose of satisfying this unrest by promising a panacea, in so far as inequality of condition can be lessened and equality of opportunity can be promoted by improvement of our educational system, the^f betterment of the lawB to inmire t h * ^ ^ ^ quick adminHtration of by the prevention of Uitv*3 privilege ^ t h o u t i £ i i | ^ ^ so- far as; Uta rest we fear a prospect and a dream, a vision of the impossible. , Looks Like Socialism. . lfivtheniltlmateanalTsls, I fear, the , equal opportunity which those seek who. proclaim the coming of so-called scKjIar^usfice^nvorves-a-forced; division, of property, and that means socialisni. • In the abuses of the last two decades it ia true that ill-gotten wealth ban been concentrated i n some 'uhaeserying hands, and that if it were poBsi^le'tdredlstHbute it on "any equitable principle to those from whom it was taken without adequate or proper compensation it would be* a good res u l t to, bring, about. But this is obviously impp.ssjbto and ^ impracticable. All that can be dpne is to treat this as one incidental evil of a great expansive movement In the material progress of tbe world and to make sure that there will be no recurrence of such evil. . In this regard we have made great progress and reform, as in respect to secret rebates in railways, the improper conferring of public franchises, and the immunity of monopolizing trusts and combinations. The misfortunes of ordinary business, the division -of the estates of wealthy men at their death, the chances of speculation which undue good fortune seems often tp stimulate, operating as causes through a generation, will do much to divide up such large fortunes. It 4s far better to await the elimination of this evil by natural, causes than to attempt what would soon take on the aspect of confiscation or to abolish the principle and institution of private property and to change to socialism. Socialism involves the taking away of the motive for acquisition, saving, energy, and enterprise, and a futile attempt by committees to apportion the rewards due for productive labor. It means stagnation and retrogression. It destroys the mainspring of human action that has carried the world on and upward for 2,000 years. Opponents Offer ^No^Remedy. I do not say that the two gentlemen who now lead, one the Demo cratic party and the other the formei Republicans who have left their party, in their attacks upon existing conditions, and in their attempt to satisfy the popular unrest by promises of remedies, are consciously embracing socialism. The truth is that they do not offer any definite legislation or policy by which the happy conditions they promise are to be brought about, but if their promises mean anything, they lead directly toward the appropriation of what belongs to one man, to another. The truth is, my friends, both those who have left the Republican party under the Inspiration of their present leader, and our old opponents, the Democrats, under their candidate, are going in a direction they do not definitely know, to ward descfi object, and that is of acquiring power for their party by popular support through the promise of a change for the better. What they clamor for is for a recall of decisions, so that a decision on a point of constitutional law, f&urt c a l i f f i l e ^ rendering it, snail thej^be Mwnifcted t d l M * r v o t e t 0 ler i t » g h t to be susp ^ y in cong& ss and c o n ^ h ^ % ^ w s its desire to weaken the coVrtfc-.by forbidding tfre "use of the w r i ^ o f injunction Tjfo protect na lawful business against the destructive effect bt a secondary boycott and by interposing a Jury in contempt proceeding's: JbroughtdfrJBwr. ~ force its order and decrees.

They ask for a change in government so that the government may be restoied to the people, as If this had not been a people's government since the beginning of the constitution, I have the fullest sympathy with every reform in governmental and election machinery which shall facilitate the ^expression of the popular will as the short ballot and the reduction in elective offices to make it possible. But these gentlemen propose to reform the government, whose present defects, if any, are due to the failure of the people to dovcio as much time as is necessary to their political duties, by requiring a political activity by the people three times that which thus far the people have been willing to assume; and thus the? propose remedies which, instead of exciting the people to further interest and activity in the government, will tire them into such an indifference asi still further to remand control of pub< lie affairs to a minority. : i , Hostility to Judiciary; - Instead of giving us the benefit of any specific remedies for the,hardships and evils of society they point out, they follow their urgent appeals for closer association of the people In l e g a t i o n ; by an attempt tp culti- Vaief ih'e hostility of ^ p e o p l e tVthe.' c o n r W l i i to represent th^t the> are in feme form upholding injustice and are" obstructing tne ] pppular wilt' Attempts are made to take away all those safeguards for maintaining the independence of the judiciary which are so carefully framed in our constitution.

The Republican party, Mr. Taft continued, stands for none of these Innovations. It refuses to make changes simply for the purpose of making a change, and cultivating popular hope that in the change something beneficial, undefined, will take place. The Republican party believes in progress along the lines upon which we have attained progress already. : The president then devoted some time to a review of what has been accomplished during his administration, including a warm defense of the Payne tariff bill. In conclusion he said: I can not think that the American people, after the scrutiny and education of a three-months' campaign, during which they will be able to see through the fog of misrepresentation and demagoguery, will fall to recognize that the two great issues which are here presented to them are, first, whether we shall retain, on a sound and permanent basis, our popular constitutional representative form of government, with the independence of the Judiciary as a necessary key to the preservation of those liberties that are the Inheritance of 1,000 years, and, 'second, wiiether we shall welcome prosperity which Is just at our door by maintaining our present economic business basis and by the encouragement of business expansion and progress through legitimate use of capital. Appeal to All Conservatives. I know that in this wide country there are many who call themselves Democrats, who view, with the same aversion that we Republicans do, the radical propositions of change in our form of government that are recklessly advanced to satisfy what is supposed to be popular clamor. They are men who revere the constitution and the institutions of their government with all the love and respect that we could possibly have, men who deprecate disturbance in business conditions, and are yearning for that quiet from demagogic agitation which is essential to the enjoyment by the whole people of the great prosperity which the good crops and the present conditions ought to bring to us. To them I appeal, as to all Republicans, to join us in an earnest effort to avert the political and economic revolution and business paralysis which Republican defeat will bring about Such, misfortune will fall most heavilyo n i&f wage earner.

'struggle,' 8YN0r*SlS. fcEnid MaitraneV a frank, free and un- •polled young Philadelphia girl, is taken to the. Colorado mountains by her un«le, Robert Maitland. James Armstrong, Maitland's protege., falls in love with her. His persistent wooing thrills the girl, but •he hesitates, and Armstrong goes east on bt&thess' without a deltake 'a*swer., Enid hears the story of a tnfningr engireer, Newbold, whose wife fall off'avllff and was so seriously hurt that he was compelled to shoot her to prevent her being eaten by wolves while he went for help.' Kirkby, the old guide who tells the story, gives Enid a package of letters which he says were found on the dead woman's body. She reads thfc letteraand at Kirkby's request keeps them. While bathing In mountain stream Enid is attacked by a bear, which is mysteriously shot. A storm adds to the girl's terror. At sudden deluge transform brook into raging torrent, which sweeps Enid Into gorge, where she is rescued by a mountain hermit after a thrilling experience. Campers in great confusion upon discoving Enid's absence when the storm breaks; Maitland and Old Kirkby go in search of the girl. Enid discovers that her ankle is sprained and that she is unable to walk. Her mysterious rescuer carries her to his camp. Enid goes to Sleep in the strange man's bunk. Miner fcooks breakfast for Enid, after which they go on tour of inspection. C H A P T E R X I . (ContlKued). "I will go and cook you some breakfast while you, get yourself ready. If you nave not washed, you'll^nd a bucket of water and a basin and towel outside the door." I He went through the inner door as euddenly as he had come through the outer one. He was a man of few words, and whatever social &race he might once have possessed, and in more favorable circumstances exhibited, was not noticeable now. The tenderness with which he had caressed her the night before had also vanished. His bearing had been cool, almost harsh and forbidding, and his manner was as grim as his appearance. The conversation had been a brief one, and her opportunity for inspection of him consequently limited. Yet- she had taken him In. He was a tall, splendid man. No longer young, perhaps, but in the prime of life, and vigor. His complexion was dark and burned browner by long exposure to sun and wind, winter and summer. In spite of the brown, there was a certain color, a hue of health in his cheeks. His eyes were hazel, sometimes brown, sometimes gray, and sometimes blue, she afterward learned. A short thick closely cut beard and mustache covered the lower part of his face disguised but not hiding the squareness of his Jaw and the firmness of his lips. He had worn his cap when he entered, and when he took lt off she noticed that his dark hair was tinged with white. He was dressed in a leather hunting suit, somewhat the worse for wear, but fitting him in a way to give free play to a l l his muscles. His movements were swift, energetic and graceful. She did not wonder that he had so easily hurled the bear to one aide and had managed to carry her—no light weight, indeed!—over what she dimly recognized must have been a horrible trail, which, burdened as he was, would have been impossible to a man of less splendid vigor than he. The cabin was low ceiled, and as she sat looking up at him, he had towered above her until he seemed to fill it. Naturally, she had scrutinized his every action, as she had hung on his every word. His swift and somewhat startled movement, his frowning as he had seized the picture on which she had gazed with such interest, aroused the liveliest surprise and curiosity in her heart. Who^was this woman? Why was he so quick to- remove.-the picture from heT gaze? Thoughts rushed tumultously through her brain, but she realized at once that she tacked'time to Indulge' them; She could hear him moving about in the other room. She ijhrew'hsidet^e blanket with which sne had draped herself, changed the bandage on her foot, drew on the heavy woolen stocking which, of course, was miles too big for her, but which easily took.ln her foot and ankle encumbered as they were by ,the rude, heavy but effective wrapping. Thereafter she ' lobbied tc-tie door and stood for a moment almost aghast at the splendor aiid magnificence before her. .:.¾¾;^, He h a d J ) u i l t | ^ a level lakelet was rimmed with ice on the shaded side. This enchanting little body of water was fed by the melting snow from the crest and peaks, which in. the clear, pure sunshine and rarified air of the mountains seemed to rise and confront her within a stone's throw of - the place where she 'stood. On one side of the pretty lake in the valley, or pocket, beneath; there was a little grassy clearing, and there the. dweller in " the wilderness had built a rude corral for the burros. On a rough bench by the side of the door she saw the primitive conveniences to which he had alluded. The water was delightfully soft and as it had stood exposed to the sun's direct rays for some time, although the air was exceedingly crisp and cold, it was tempered sufficiently to be merely cool and agreeable. She luxuriated in it for a few moments, and while she had her face burled in the towel, rough, coarse, but clean, she heard a step. She looked up in time to see the man lay down upon tbe bench a small "mirror and a clean comb. He said nothing as he did so, and she had no opportunity to thank him before he was gone. The thoughtfulness of the act affected her strangely, and she was very glad of a chance to unbrald her hair, comb it out and plait it again. She had not a hair pin left, of course, and all she could do with it was to replait It and let i t hang upon her shoulders. Her coiffure would have looked^ery strange to civilization, but out there/tir^e mountains, it was eminently appropriate. Without noticing details, the man felt the general effect as she limped back into the room toward the table. Her breakfast was ready for hen It was a coarse fare, bacon, a baked potato, hard tack crisped before the fire, coffee, black and strong, with sugar, but no cream. The dishes matched the fare, too, yet she noticed that the fork was of silver, and by her plate there was a napkin, rough dried, but of fine linen. The man had just set the table when she appeared. "I am sorry I have no cream," he said, and then, before she could make comment or reply, he turned and walked out of the room, his purpose evidently being not to embarrass her by his presence while she ate. Enid Maitland had grown to relish the camp fare, bringing to it the appeas she would to put it out of her mind. Well, she Was a fairly sensible girl; the matter was passed, it could not be helped- now* she would forget it aa much as was possible. She would recur to it with mortification later on, but the present was ao full of grave problems that there was not any room for the past. C H A P T E R XII. A Tour of Inspection. The first thing necessary, she decided, when she ha/1 satisfied her hunger and finished her meal, was to get word of her plight and her resting place to her uncle and the men of the party, and the next thing was to get away, where she would never see this man again, and perhaps be able to forget what had transpired—yet there was a strange pang of pain In her heart at that ^thought! No man 6¾ earth had ever so stimulated her curiOBity as this one. Who was he? Why was he there? Who was the woman whose picture he had so quickly taken from her gaze? Why had so splendid a man burled himself alone ln that wilderness? These reflections were presently interrupted hy the reappearance of the man himself. "Have you finished?" he asked, unceremoniously standing in the doorway as he spoke. "Yes, thank you, and it was very good indeed." Dismissing this politeness with a wave of his hand, but taking no other notice, he spoke again. "If you will tell me your name—" "Maitland, Enid Maitland." "Miss Maitland?" The girl nodded. "And where you came from, I will endeavor to find your party and see what can be done to restore you to them." ing, to shine and dazzle in his face. As she hesitated in confusion, perhaps comprehending its cause, he helped out her lame and halting sentence. "I know the canon well," he said. "I think I know the place to which you refer. Is it Just above where the river makes an enormous bend upon itfclf?" "Yes, that-is it. In that cleaning we have been camped for two weeks. My uncle must be crazy with anxiety to know what has become of me, and—" The man interposed. "I will go there directly," he said. "It is now half after ten. That place is about seven miles or more from bere across the range, fifteen or twenty by the river. I shall be back by nightfall. The cabin is your own/1 He turned away without another word. "Wait," said the woman. "I am afraid to stay here." She had been fearless enough before in those mountains, but her recent experience had somehow unsettled her nerves. "There is nothing on earth to hurt you, I think," returned the man. "There Isn't a human being, so far as I know, in these mountains." "Except my uncle's party?" He nodded. "But there might be another—bear," she added desperately, forcing herself. "Not likely; and they wouldn't come here if there were any. That's the first grizzly I have seen in years," he went on, unconcernedly, studiously looking away from her, not to add to her confusion at the remembrance of that awful episode which would obtrude itself on every occasion. "You can use a rifle or gun?"- She nodded. He stepped over to the wall and took down the Winchester which he handed her. "This one is ready for service, and you "We were camped down that canon will find a revolver on the shelf. at a place where another brook, a ] There is only one possible way of ao large one, flows into it, several miles, I should think, below the place where—" She was going to say "where you found me," but the^ttiought of tho way in which he had found her rushed over her again; and this time, with his glance directly upon her, although it was as cold and dispassionate and indifferent as a man's look could well cess to this cabin; that's down those rock.stairs. One man, one woman, a child, even, with these weapons could hold it against an army." ^ "Couldn't I go with you?" "On that foot?" Enid pressed her wounded foot upon the ground. It was not so painful when resting, but she found she could not walk a step on it without great suffering. "I might carry you part of the way," said the man. "I carried you last night, but it would be impossible, all of it." "Promise rae that you will be back by nightfall, with Uncle Bob and—" "I shall be back by nightfall, but I can't promise that I will bring anybody with me." "You mean?" "You saw what the cloudburst nearly did for you," was the quick answer. "If they "3id not get out of that pocket, there is nothing left of them now." "But they must have escaped," persisted V h e girl* fighting down her alarm at this blunt statement of possible peril. "Besides, Uncle Robert and inmost of the rest were climbing one of the peaks, and—" "They will be all right, then; but if I am to find the place and tell them your story, I must go now." He turned, and without another word or a backward glance, scrambled down the hill. The girl limped to the brink of tho cliff over which he had plunged and stared after him. She watched him as long as she could see him, until he was lost among the trees. If she had anybody else to depend upon, she would certainly have felt differently toward him; when Uncle Robert, and her aunt, and the children, and old Kirkby, and the rest surrounded her, she could hate that man in spite of all he had done for her, but now she stared after him determinedly making his way down the mountain and through the trees. It .was with difficulty she could restrain herself from calling him bacjc.. The silence was . most oppressive, the loneliness was frTgbtfuf. She nad teen alone before in those mountains, but from choice;^now tbe fact that there was no escape from them made the sensation a very different one. She sat down and brooded over her situation until she felt that if she did not do something and in some way divert her thoughts she would break down again. He had said that the cabin, and its contents were hers. She solved to inspect-them more close- *^<he hobbled back into the great " 'fefjld^ looked about her again.

Say that he had graduated at twenty-one or twenty-two, he would $e twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old now, bet if so, why that white hair? Perhaps, though, the book did not belong to the man of the cabin. She'turned to other books on the shelf. Many of them were technical books, which she had sufficient general culture to realize could be only available to a man highly educated, and a special student of mines and mining—a mining engineer, she decided, with a glance at those instruments and appliances of a scientific character plainly, but of whose actual use she was ignorant. A rapid inspection of the other bocks confirmed her An the conclusion that the man of the mountains was indeed the owner of the collection. There were a few well worn volumes of poetry and essays, Shakespeare, a Bible, Bacon, Marcus Aurelius, EpictetuB, Keats, a small dictionary, a compendious encyclopedia, just the books, she thought, smiling at her conceit, that a man of education and culture would want to have upon a desert island where his supply of literature would be limited. The old ones were autographed as the first book she had looked in; others, newer additions to the little l i - brary, if she could judge their condition, were unsigned. Into the corner cupboard and the drawers, of course, she did not look. There was nothing else in the room to attract her attention, save some piles of manuscript neatly arranged on one of tho shelves, each one covered with a square of board and kept in place by pieces of glistening quartz. There were four of these piles and another half the size of the first four on tbe table. These, of course, she did not examine, further than to note that the writing was in the same bold, free hand aB the signature in the books. If she had been an expert she might have deduced much from the writing; as it was, she fancied it was 'strong, direct, manly. Having completed her inspection of this room, she opened the door and went into the other. It was smaller and less Inviting. It had only one window, and a door opened outside. There was a cook stove here, and shelves with cooking utensi^ and granjteware, and more rude box receptacles on the walls which were'filled witr^ a bountiful gnd well selected store of canneJ goods and provisions of various kinds. Tbis was evidently the kitchen, supply room, china closet. She saw no sign of a bed in it, and wondered where and how the man hac-^SDenJ tvbe ni§£t4 Sy rights, her mind should have been filled with her uncle and his party, and in their alarm she should have shared, but she was so extremely coraJortaofe, except for her foot, which did not greatly trouble her so long as she kept it quiet, that she felt a certain degree of contentment, not to say happiness. The adventure was so romantic and thrilling—save for those awful moments in the pool—especially to the soul of a conventional woman who had been brought up in the most humdrum and stereotyped fashion of the earth's ways, and with never an opportunity for the development of the spirit of romance which all of us exhibited some time in our life, and which, thank God, some of us tiever lose, that she found herself revelling in ft. She lost herself in pleasing lmagina tiona of tales of her adventures that she could tell when she got back to her uncle, and when she got further back to staid old Philadelphia. How shocked everybody would be with It all there! Of course, she resolved that she would never mention one er> Uode of that terrible day, and she had somehow absolute confidence that this man, in spite of his grim, gruff taciturnity, who had shown himself so exceedingly conjMera'te of her feelings, would never mention it either. She had so much food for thought that not even in the late afternoon, of the long day could she force her mind to the printed pages of the book she had taken at random from the shelf which lay open before her, where she sat in the sun, her head coveted by %n old "Stetson" that she had ventured to appropriate. She had dragged a bear skin out on the rocks in the sun and sat curled up on it half reclining against a boulder watching the trail, the Winchester by her side. She had eaten so late a breakfast that she haa made a rather frugal lunch out of whatever had taken her fancy in the store room, and she was waiting most anxiously now for the return of the man*. ••,<>•• . „ ...•,. 1 The season was 'late and the sun: sank t ^ i h a ' t h e ; peaks duite early i n the afternoon, and it grew; dark and Ike dwellers o t the lowland*. r , around1 her pelled to spend the night alone in thai cabin, she felt that she could not en* dure it.

C H A P T E R XIII. The Castaways of the Mountains. The man was evidently seeking her, for so soon as he caught sight of her he .broke into a run and came bounding up the steep ascent with the speed and agility of a chamois or a mountain sheep. As he approached the girl rose to her feet and supported herself 1*5 In Spite of His Hand She Swayed. upon the boulder against which she) had been leaning, at the same time extending her hand to greet him. "Oh," she cried, her voice rising nervously as he drew near, "I am so glad you are back, another hour of loneliness and I believe I should have gone crazy." Now whether that joy ln his return was for him personally or for him abstractly, he could not tell; whether she was glad that he had come back simply because he was a human being who would relieve her loneliness or4 whether she rejoiced to see him lndl^ viduaily, was a mafieT nol yet to "be determined.

Chicago 1 TALK of a "rnoiiey trust" in this country has been inspired largely ly the operations of "underwriting syndicates/' : These :;gr6ups of bankers have come to mean more and more in the? jinancing .of the country's industries. Their operations have enlarged at Ihe same time that their co-operation with each other has become closer. ' Whatever may be thought of the morality of this method of financing the needs of our railroads and manufacturing enterprises, Ihe reason for the growth of underwriting syndicates is plain. They represent the reservoirs of ready capital. To them flow thousands of streams, big and little, of money seeking safe investment. To them come the managers of business requiring millions, and the managers come to them because it is the quickest, easiest, and (sometimes) cheapest place td^et money. For instance : New York's transit needs are pressing and great. Two extensive new systems of subways have been planned. Their construction and equipment will cost nearly $400,000,000. After long discussion the city officials decided that this sum should not be raised by the city itself, and so private bankers were a6ked to raise the money. The house of J. P. Morgan & Co. made an offer to finance one system calling for the expenditure within a few years of $170,000,000. Bonds running for fifty years and bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent, are to be issued. J. P. Morgan & Co. are to pay the city $950 for each $1,000 bond. Because the loan would be too heavy for one house to carry, $. P. Morgan & Co. have asked other bankers to take a large part of the bonds for $960 each. A syndicate, agreeing to hold together for five years, will be formed, and its members will sell to investors the amount of bonds allotted to each as they are issued. Probably the prices received will represent a good profit for each. In no other way, say the bankers, could a project needing so much money get it, promptly and on such good terms. In no other way, they say, can the millions belonging to widely scattered investors find investment. Upon the bankers falls the duty of seeing that the loan is secure. A few failures to do this, they say, would dissolve the "money trust" quicker than any moral action—and that view seems logical. I s P i t y W h o l l y a G o o d T h i n g ? Dy FRANK CRANE, Chicago Perhaps the most marked trait of human'nature in modern times, and that which distinguishes it most from human nature in ancient times, is pity. It waa the main contents of the Christian religion for over a thousand years. Almost all medieval religion can be summed up in that one word, pity. The good works most emphasized consisted in giving alms to the poor. The walls of the old churches are covered with languishing saints. The sufferings of the martyrs were wrought into works of art in every conceivable excruciation. We are the heirs of centuries of this -kind of training. Sensitiveness to pain has become our chief mortal force. The history of civilization is the story of a long conflict with pain. -We house the sick in hospitals and provide asylums for the unfortunate Mankind's most boasted medical achievement is the discovery of anesthetics. We have societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Our modern theology has abolished the fires of the next world. We have even produced a sect that denies that there is any suffering in this world; like the Albany legislator who, disgusted with the crime of bigamy, determined to put a stop to it and introduced a bill: "Be it resolved, That the crime of bigamy be hereby abolished." Happy thought! But I would like to put one little interrogation point: Is pain after all a bad thing? And is pity wholly a good thing?

I am very much interested, as every good citizen must be, in promoting the adoption of uniform laws on the subject of marriage and divorce throughout the United States. The present situation is very dangerous, for persons who are legal1 'o~ried according to the laws of ene state . f find that in another state their marriage is not recognized, and the effect upon the status of children may be most disastrous.

J. Long Absence Seemingly Only Had Made Hearts GrovV Fonder— Share of His Father's Estate Waiting for Him, With a Welcome From the Granddaughter He Had Never Seen. O N T V I L L E . N . J.—The roving fever had got into Bert Zabriskie's blood, and it made him fidget. He dreamed of the wide-stretching prairies, and the valleys lying snug and warm at his home here, became pitifully narrow; he thought of the lofty peaks of the Rockies, and the wooded ridge back of Boon ton shrunk to an anthill; he pictured the distant great waters reaching down a thousand miles to the sea, and the prattle of the Rockaway river winding in and out among the swales above the old mill sounded like childish mockery. These were symptoms. All the thirty-odd years of his life Bert Zabriskle had lived in one neighborhood. There he had married. There two daughters had been born. But the feVer reached its height, as all fevers must, and he struck out He didn't take his family with him. Other men have struck out that way. Boonton and Montville gossiped. Other towns have done that, too. And this ends chapter one, except to say that some of our best doctors have been trying for years to find some sort of blood purifier that wbuld allay the roving fever in country bred boya, and they haven't hit tbe right thing yet Dosing doesn't seem to do it any good. Descendant of Patriots. When George Washington, Father of His Country, and consequently of New Jersey, was in camp at Morristown Heights and his soldiers were ull of patriotism but otherwise empty, times being bard, a squad of Continentals were sent down tbe Rockaway river to pick up supplies by fair means if possible, but to get 'em. Even at thai early day a Zabriskle kept the mill. He stood at the gram popper. •** "You may tell General Washington," he said, as the incident is handed down, "that so long as water runs and wheels turn and millstones grind I'll do all I can to relieve the distress of the fighters for liberty." This shows the kind of people the Zabriskles were, however. One gray bearded Zabriskle after another slipped into the flour-dusty overalls. The last was Albert James Zabriskle, father of the rover and of two ¾aughterst both married. By hard work, long hours and incidental thrift this miller Zabriskle bad Jready become well-to-do, as Jersey oik measure savings, when an opportunity came to him to make some big easy money. Deal That Meant Wealth. Jersey City was down In the Rockaway river country to establish a water system and bull' a great reservoir. Zabriskle owned the water rights on the river and Jersey City had to see him firBt. There's more money in water rights than there is in grinding neighborhood corn. Zabriskle drove a harp bargain and became rich at just the time of his life when he wanted to knock off work for good. It Rooked then as if he would live out his years In contentment, but you never can tell bout such things. Son Bert took the fever and struck out. Months passed and nothing was heard from him. One day Lawyer Nelson 3. KJtchell was summoned opposite the mill. He found tbe old man rather poorly and anxious to have his worldly affairs set in order, for he felt that his end vas fast approaching. A will had beenjirawn dividing tbe estate into >ihree^parts, but as the to exist in regard to the delicate relation of husband and wife or parent and child, while, of course, the descent of property may be very much embarrassed by questions arising from the conflict of laws on this subject.

T r a i n i n g F o r ftnsst As far as fitting our children for business |r_Js concerned, the publio schools of the United States are far inferior to those of European coutries and far inferior to what they should be. They are particularly deficient in foreign language instruction. The systematic education of 90 per cent of our public school children, ends with their graduation.\r -Commercial njethods and foreign language* must be made part of the public /school course. A boy or girl of fourteen, ought at least enough of tibe sbci&V religious and political .customs and the Tan* j yine. ^ to do bnsmess to This provision being set forth in detail to his liking, the miller scratch* ed his name to the. document and wit* nesses appended theirs. There being no further call to the grist bin, and enforced idleness having added i t s burden to the weight of his four times twenty years, the miller fell .into a rapid decline and in mid* January, four.yaws ago; crape fluttered at the d ^ t t f f c e Homestead and the death J p i | » f ^ the spare room. • ' ' ~ • The rover neral. He abouts remi The count up of the miller's property showed that apart from the fruitful acreage, the homestead and the century-old mill he had gilt-edged holdings that put the estate in the hundred thousand class, which is going some for Montville, a town not giving to money boasting. Estate Duly Divided. In the orderly way of probate law, Mrs. Cora Van Duyne and Mrs. Elisabeth Ball, the Immediate women heirs to the miller'8 estate, got their considerable shares, and tbe. Court of Chancery in and for Morris county, upon application, directed the executors to apply the Income of the rover's share of the estate to the maintenance of the stay-at-home wife and mother and daughters, the latter now having grown out of shoe-top frocks and passed from the brald-down-theback period into the e a r l / stage of young womanhood. Upon the settlement of tbe estate Mrs. Van Duyne and her husband, the latter's health requiring a change, removed from Montville straight across the country to Pasadena, Cal., where they settled. Long-Lost Brother Found. One day last winter, while motoring about in the new country, Mrs. Van Duyne visited Los Angeles. She was driving her car along one of the avenues toward the suburbs when a trol-^ ley crossing at an angle halted her. The motor man, capped and coated in blue, turned his head in her direction. She recognized him at once. The motor man was her long-missing brother. . As soon as possible she arranged to meet him. It was a reunion without formality. And what a lot of things there was to tell—the death of the good old father just as he had rounded out his eightieth year, and of how up to the very last he had had only the kindest thoughts for the absent son; of the will and the codicil thereto, which safeguarded the one-third share; of his own loyal wife and the daughters, and of the marriage of one to as likely a chap as there ls in the valley, and of the new baby with eyes like Its mother's, and Just learning to toddle; of the fire which had reduced Che old homestead to ashes—all these things and more there were to tell in a record of the years that had come and gone since he had struck out. Rover Arranges to Go Home. There was some telegraphing and some letter writing on the part of the sister, and some hesitation on the part of the rover, all of which was quite natural, and as matters of the sort are bound to be settled i f only they are helped along i n the right way, Bert Zabriskle finally decided to return. Bronzed from life in the open, with hair Just a little thin at the temples", but otherwise looking much as he did when the fever attacked him, Bert Zabriskle arrived back In Montville— back to the valley which was no longer pitifully narrow; to the sight of the wooded ridge which has resumed its normal, and to the now prattles a welcome. How quickly the ne; farm to farm a.nd Why, i n for soil others begin to dream of the f a / away. All Glad to See Htm.

And of course there was a reconcili ation, the details of which need no) be gone into, that matter being no body's business outside of the family and some stories of adventure and fi good dinner. After a period which did not Bug gest overhaste, there was a consul tatlon with the lawyers. And the terms of tbe codicil tc Father Zabriskie's will providing thai the son should inherit his share If he returned before the younger daughter reached her twenty-fourth birthday, everything is all fine and dandy. Daughter's birthday is BO me weeks off. "Folks around here had a lot oi things to say when I went away thai were not true," said Zabriskle to a caller—"a lot of things that were Just made up." That is as true as Gospel.

M . .Clayton, Twentysixth Ohio, speaks ot a fight near Winchester as happening July 20. it was the first or second Sunday in August. The command I was in waa on its way back from, the .battle of Monocacy Junction, near Frederick, Md., through Virginia. We crossed the Shenandoah river near Snicker's Gap, and there- got with -Mulligan'* brigade and the First New York cavalry, which was very good company, writes Wm. C. Eckman of Atlantic City, N . J„ in the National Tribune. We went around Winchester and struck the pike at Kernatown on Saturday. The command to which I belonged was a detachment of Cole's Rangers, under Captain Link. He was in the advance. The First New York cavalry did picket duty that night. O n Sunday many were cheated out of breakfasts. Just at that time that old familiar call, 'Boots and saddles," sounded. The rebs had sighted .us, and opened fire on us with three small guns. We were ordered to charge. We drove them hack, but we did not get back to our breakfast That started the fun for the day. We had a few chargers and skirmishers with .Cole's cavalry. About 8 p. m. the enemy came out of the woods on our left and front, and it was there that Colonel Mulligan was killed and left in the hands of the enemy. .He and Captain Link were leading us and the First New York cavalry, but the rebs were toomuch for us. I did not see any other command but Mulligan's and Cole'* men. On Wednesday of that week some of Captain Link's men escaped, and Mrs. Mulligan, under a flag of truce,, went through the lines to Winchester and brought her husband's body to Martlnsburg. We covered the retreat through Winchester on the north of town. I was sent along with 25 or 30 men out behind a stone fence to hold the rebs In Winchester until General AverlU's cavalry came from Berryville. But we were cut off between the two lines. We had sv guide with us, and he led us through, woods and brush and swamps till we struck the old dirt road to Mar- As Led Us Through Woods and Brush and Swamps. tinsburg.

"I am an Englishman," it said, "unjustly imprisoned and put to torture. T am lh^the*ihadow of death. Help; save me!? "I will do my best to aid you," I shouted back.; I rah to'the door, took out the key, and hurrying to tbe bench where Dr. Chance's large microscope stood, took one of tbe pieces of hard paraffin he used for regulating the jects. Many times when his eyes troubled him I acted as his secretary, and on each of these occasions he paid me ten roubles for my services. At essary for him to do some work in the Blue Laboratory. He required my aid and asked me to follow him there. It was- a splendidly appointed room. A teak bench ran round three sides of the wall, fitted'With every conceivable apparatus and appliance used in chemical experiments. In one corner there was an odd object that I did not understand the use of and which excited my curiosity in no small degree. It was a mysterious looking dome-shaped projection about three or four feet high and covered with a black cloth. Dr. Chance was not a man who encouraged idle questioning, and dearly as I would have liked to know what the apparatus was for, I forebore asking. In this room we spent three hours a careful Impression of the key returned it to its place, slipping the wax impression in my pocket. The doctor did not return, and I resoJved to stay there no longer. I turned off had engaged me to educate his two side by side. It was the first occasion daughters. The doctor was a hand- on which I worked witji him in the some but near-sighted man about fifty Blue Laboratory, but from that day I years of age. He waa ceidly polite to went with him there on many occame and took me straight to his house sions and learned to know tbe room on the Ligovka canal. There I was received by Mrs. Chance, a mild-mannered, fat little woman. v My pupils were rather pretty girls, the elder being named Olga and the younger Mareussa. They could talk English tolerably well and the warmth of their greeting made up for their mother's indifference. Mrs. Chance was a languid sort of creature who appeared to take little or no interest i n what was going on around her. On a certain afternoon Olga, Maroussa and I were seated on one ofjjthe large divans in the comfortable salon. "You know, of course, that father Is English," said Olga, "although now he is a naturalized Russian. He has lived in this country ever since he was thirty. He ls a great scientist, but we know nothing about his studies—how your eyes sparkle, Madeline; are you Interested in science?" "I am very fond of science," I answered, "and have studied chemistry a good deal." A footstep sounded beside me and I turned to see Dr. Chance peering closely at me. "Did I hear aright?" he asked. "Is it possible that you, a young lady, are interested In science?" . **l like it immensely," I. replied. * "Your information pleases met" he eaid. "The fact is I came back to afek you tp assist me. I suffer from an affection of the eyes. At times I have intolerable pain i n the right eye, and to use it on such occasions makes it wprse. Today it is troubling me 4 a gobd bit. W i l l you come downstairs and act as my secretary for a while?" t I answered in the affirmative and In a few moments found myself alone with the doctor in his cabinet It was a fine room, two-thirds of the walls being lined with books, a large double window! giving plenty of light, and a door at the further end letting in a peep of a somewhat mysterious room beyond. «That Is Jhe^ ?lue Laboratory^* said the doctor, noticing my gjiance; "Some day I. shall have the pleasure of showing it to you. Since you have studied chemistry I believe that you may be of great use to me. There are vital secrets brought to light in that room. Miss * Rennick, matters which may eventually set the whole world talking. If I give you additional work to do for me, you will be well paid for your services; but more of this later ,on. You told-me that you are a shorthand expert, and I am going to dictate a paper t6 you which must be posted to England tonight. It will appear in the Scientific Gazette.; The subject will be new to you—I have discovered a method of photographing thought." I stared at him in astonishment, but be merely smiled, and began to dictate Without further comment At "the; end of ah hour he stopped and left me to'write out the report. I finished the paper i n about three hours and went upstairs. The thought of what I had written kept floating through my brain.. \ knew enough about science to be interested in even the sketchy paper which the doctor hacTdlctated. Would he ever be in a posWon to prove his theory, I won Ion Olga well. Finally, one: day the doctor was obliged to leave me for a few moments alone in the laboratory. The instant he left I hurried to the mysterious dome, and raising the black cloth, saw that It covered a frame of glass, doubtless communicating with some chamber below. I struck my knuckles loudly on the glass and immediately saw a dim face peering up at me from beneath. Evidently there was an inner and muc^h thicker partition of glass between us. The face was a ghastly one, horrible with suffering, haggard, lean and white. This countenance, so unexpected and appalling, glanced at me but a second, then, the doctor's steps were heard returning, a shadowy hand was raised as if to Implore, and the ghoul-like vision vanished. I drew the covering back over the dome and returned quickly to my work. 4 must have looked a trifle white, for the doctor peered at me suspiciously, but said nothing. My head was in a whirl. There was some unfortunate creature confined in a dungeon below the Blue Laboratory, heaven only knew for what purpose. "Dr. Chance," I said, about half an hour later, "why have you that peculiar dome in the corner of the floor?" "I warned you to ask no questions," was his reply. "But on this occasion I shall gratify your curiosity. That dome is part of an apparatus by which I make a vacuum. Now you are doubtless just as wise as you were before. I have finished my experiment; let us leave." I went to my bedroom, sat down and thought hard. I resolved that no danger should deter me from tryit*g*1o rescue the victim of my employer's apparent cruelty. After dinner I engaged the doctor in conversation, I exerted myself to please him and.began to draw him out. He told me stories of his early youth and laughed merrily over his exploits. "Shall we go up to the salon?" asked Mrs. Chance at last. "You may, my dear," replied the doctor. "The fact is, the sooner you go the better, for Miss Rennick has some work to do for me this evening. Come on, Miss Rennick, ft you get through your task quickly you may ask me to tell you one of my secrets* and I shall do my best to comply." The girls and their mother went upstairs and I followed the doctor to his cabinet. He Jed the way to the Blue Laboratory, and I walked over to the dome-shaped roof on the floor. Dr. Chance began to examine some microbes which he was cultivating, "I perceive th§t we shall have to put off our work," he said. "This experiment is not far enough advanced for the final test But I know you are alive with curiosity, Miss Rennick. Now, what is.^t you wish to know?" 'T wrote a pape? for youV when I first . came, on the photography of thought You promised your English readers that In a month or six weeks' you would be able to prove your words. The time Is past, Prove your words now. Show me how you photograph, thought of the lock, went up the long passage and knocked at the door of the other laboratory. It was quickly opened by the doctor. I gave him the key, and hurried to my own room. Before morning I had settled upon my plans to rescue the unfortunate Englishman. I would have a duplicate key made and then go to the British consul. I would appeal to the prisoner's own country for his release. At half-past twelve on the following day we were all assembled for the' midday meal. Dr. Chance's- manner was agreeable, but I noticed that he gave me some stealthy and covert glances. Toward the end of the meal be remarked: "I am sorry to see you looking so pale, Miss Rennick. Are you suffering from headache?" "Yes," I responded. "You allow your emotions to get the better of you," said the doctor, pleasantly. "I suppose you are worrying over the secret I promised to impart to you tonight. It grieves me to have to disappoint you. I have to leave the city unexpectedly on business, and shall be absent for a couple of days. I must leave home at eight o'clock this evening. I shall not be back before fulfill his mission faithfully. At seven Dr. Chance rose to go. "I must prepare for my journey, he said. M I sharl return here to give I Schopenhauer, but he never really you final directions just before I came. I left the room, and watched start." you from the passage. I heard you It was t e n minutes to* eight when cry out to that man and saw you take the doctor, drlssed from head to foot an impression of that key. All during trap for you.

"I strength I drew my revolver from my desired my servant to announce Dr. , pocket, r ; and, pointings it upward* pressed the trigger. There was a terrific crash of falling glass, a sudden in warm furs, re-entered the cabinet. He was accompanied by his wife and the two grrls. "Good-by, Miss Rennick." he said. "You will have a couple of days' rest while I am gone. This Is Wednesday; I hope to bo back by Saturday at tho latest" He shook hands and^went Into the hall, followed by his wife and daughters. As they left the servant whom I had bribed slipped into the room and handed me the precious key, unperceived by the others. I went up to my room, resolving to visit the Blue Laboratory between eight and nine. today I kept you by my side, although I did not need your services. I went away to blind you more completely. I came back when I thought I had inrush of air, and then my senses left me. _ When I came to a strange face waa bending over me, and a kind hand was wiping something warm from my forehead, which waa..bleeding-from the glass which had fallen upon it. I given you enough time to enter the promptly guessed that the consul had laboratory. A l l has happened as I j arrived, after all, -and that; 1 was expected; not for an instant did you \ saved. I caught Bight of the face and deceive me. Now I will tell you my figure of Dr. Chance. Handcuffs enthe electric light, took the key out At nine o'clock, If all went well, the consul would come to my aid. I had made arrangements with the ever-useful porter to receive the Englishman on his arrival and coffduct him straight to the Blue Laboratory. At 25 minutes past eight I slipped my revolver into my pocket aud stole down the stairs without meeting anyone. I went Into the cabinet, passed through the laboratory beyond, sped down the stone passage and reached the door in the garden wall. The door opened easily to the touch of the duplicate key; I swung It back and did not even trouble to shut it. I fejt no fear whatever, for Dr. Chance was miles away by this time. I switched on the electric light and walked across the room. My difficulties were not, however, over as yet. It was one thing to have entered the laboratory, but it was quite another to go down Into that dim dungeon where the victim was incarcerated. The face had peered at me through the glass dome, but how was that dome opened ? By what means was the dungeon reached? I examined the floor and discovered a trapdoor concealed by a mat. In the center was a ring: I tugged at it, and the door gave way. I saw that it was shut circled his wrists and a uniformed officer was standing beside him; a tall, shadowy figure, doubtless that of the hapless victim whom I had come to rescue, was supported by two other policemen. "Don't speak; rest quietly; everj'- thing is all right now," said a voice which I afterward knew to be that of the consul. Then I passed into unconsciousness again, and it was many days before I remembered anything more. It may have ljgen. a fortnight later that I c s w to myeelf re * pleaasecret. "It ls a well-known fact in phjTslology that In the dark the retina of some animals displays a pigment called 'visual purple.' If, for instance, a frog is killed in tbe dark and the eye after death is exposed to an object in the light, the image of this object becomes stamped on the retina, and can be fixed there by a solution of alum. Proceeding on this basis I have further discovered that by fixing my own gaze for a lei^thened time on an object and then going Into a dark room and gazing at an exposed photographic plate, the object I have been looking at appears on ;the negative when developed. Then I concluded that even thought Itself could be thus photographed. This is what really takes place. Subjective Impressions of thought cause molecular changes in the cells of the brain. Why, then, may these not also be capable of decomposing this 4viBual purple.' arid then giving a distinct impression on a negative when exposed sufficiently long to its influence? I have made experiments and discovered that such is the case. In dreams especially this Impression becomes terribly vivid. No more fascinating problem has ever'absorbed a scientist. Ought not ray victim congratulate himself on suffering in such a vast cause? Night after night I fasten back his eyelids with specula, and as he sleeps his eyes are wide open, staring at an exposed plate for many hours in the dark. This plate ls destined to receive the impressions made by his drjeam. Night after night I make different experiments. These can be easily done by giving my victim certain drugs, such as cocaine, Indian hemp, opium and others. The action of these drugs causes extraordinary dreams. This is my secret. During the daytime I am merciful. I feed my patient well; he is not likely to die, although there Is a possibility that he may become insane through the sufferings undergone [ p|Qf£ pftDQlES OF by his nervous system.

Dr. Chance had been sentenced to Siberia for his crimes. The whole city was talking of the horror which had been discovered in the Blue Laboratory. "Your letter came just In time," Bald Mrs. Seymour, the consul's wife, who for some reason had taken a great fancy to me and insisted ,upon my remaining with her until I recovered. "My husband acted on it immediately; he went to see the ambassador, who gave him a note to the prefect of police, Michael Danevitch. It was Danevitch himself who seized Dr. Chance as he was making a break for liberty when he heard tho approaching footsteps of tho officers." When T grew stronger T lost no time In returning to my tyattve land, and I have no intention of_ ever leaving It again. I did not see Olga and Maroussa before I left St. Petersburg, and have no idea what became of them and their mother. Thanks to your care, I nm nearly my old self again, Dr. Halifax, but to my dying day I will never forget that awful experience, and I will carry to my grave the scar on my brow made by the failing glass ^hen it saved my life. LUZON r oapwee rai ndgi mup faatc ei ne! Saturday, but for the greater part of this day I, will require your services. Please meet me frf^my cabinet not later than half-past two." I promised, went straight to my own room and wrote as follows to the British consul: Chance House, Ligovka Canal. Sir: I urgently implore your assistance. I have discovered t^at an Englishman is imprisoned in an underground cellar in this house, and put t o torture. I am an American girt residing here as governess. I want to rescue this man, but must have assistance. Dr. Chance leaves St. Petersburg .at eight o'clock this evening. A t nine o'clock sharp I shall be in the large laboratory in the garden, known by the name of tbe Blue Laboratory. I will give one of the servants directions to bring you there straight, if down by a spring and was only capable cf being opened from the top. As the door flew open I saw steps underneath. I had provided myself with a candle and matches. I lighted the candle and went cautiously down the steps, of which there were eight. Reaching the bottom, I noticed a smalt button in the wall, pressed it, and a email incandescent globe shone out beside tne. I saw that I was in a large underground chamber, the arches of its groined roof receding away Into total darkness, A faint groan fell on my ears, and I directed my steps to the spot the sound came from. At last I almost stumbled over the object of my search. A man, tightly bound, lay upon the floor. His eyes stared a t me, his face was as yellow and cadaverous as that of a corpse. His hands and feet were seyou will be kind enough to come to ! curely tied. His lips moved, but no my aid. Do not fail me, for both the Englishman and I are likely to be in extreme danger. - Yours faithfully, M A D E L I N E RENNICK. Having-addressed the letter, I wrapped myself in my furs and went out. No one saw me go. On my way Dr. Chance indulged i n a sinister to the^consurs house I stopped at a dered? How could'he prove i t ; by grin.

I bent forward to raise his head, when something touched my shoulder, and I turned to see Dr. Chance gazing at me with a mocking smile on his thin lips. "Miss Rennick," he said, complayou like to see some of the developed photographs?" "No," I screamed. "You are a devil In human shape; I will not listen to any more." Dr. Chance came close to me. "Women are hypersensitive," he said. '•'You wished to know. I warned you that the secret was fraught with terror. I had hoped that you would rise above this horror, hut I see that you 'are distinctly human. Well, it would interfere vastly with my experiments were you to proclaim my secret to anyone else.. Women, even the best of them, are not, to be trusted with such important matters, I have no intention of having tbe great dream of my life destroyed by the caprice of a girl. I propose, therefore, having imparted to you my secret, to seal it forever on your lips by death. In five minutes you will die." "Five minutes/' I repeated, mechanically. A small clock standing on a bench by my side showed me that In five minutes more it would be nine o'clock, the hour when the consul should arrive.- "You are really a most interesting study, Miss Rennick," continued the doctor. "It is a sad pity that you cannot devote your life to -the science you might greatly benefit. Give me your hand. I want to walk around this dungeon with you." He stretched out his hand and took mine. I did not refuse to walk with him. He took me from end to end of the dismal place. The little clock suddenly sounded nine strokes in a silvery chime. "Your time Is up," said the doctor. He turned and then walked quickly across the room, still holding my hand. I strained my ears to listen, but^here was no sound; the consul must have failed me, I was standing exactly under the dome in a glass roof. I had just put out my foot to ascend the stairs, when a sudden noise, startled me. Before I could move a huge bellshaped glass had descended completely around me, and sunk into a circular groove on the stone flags at my feet Dr. Chance waa looking at me from outside the wall of glass and grinning with an expression of fiendish triumph. He turned and pressed a lever beside the wall. There was a loud thumping as of a piston working to Ifugaoa, a Primitive People, Have Built Extension Terraces That Are Well Irrigated. Today a tribe in the Philippines, no farther advanced than the Igorrotes, some of whom have been seen in this country, ean show the adventurous traveler in the interior of Luzon some schemes in terrace construction and teats in irrigation that compare creditably with the best exhibits the United States reclamation service is capable of making. Considering the total ignorance of modern machinery, the total ignorance of modern methods, prevailing among the Tfugaos, t'^ere is, of course, no comparison between the ingenuity and the workmanship of these denizens o f the mountains and trained Caucasians. The terraces lie along the side of a steep canyon between the native settlements of Quiangan and Banaue in Nueva Viscaye province. They rise like giant steps up the steep ascents to the height of 1,200 feet or more, extending probably into a secondary range of hills, making the extension almost, 3,000 feet. Each paddy, or terrace plain, or plateau, varies from eipht to forty feet In width and is approximately 300 feet long, following the contour of the canyon. These shelves are flooded with water in the spring before the rice planting. The retaining wall of each terrace is built to about fifteen inches above the water level. At the point where the paddy meets the canyon side the retain* ing wall of the terrace next above f | | begins, so that the canon, no matter | ^ how steep, presents an unbroken sue- g | cession of terraces,, which at one S-| periojd of the year bears a striking res«miblance to tiers of reservoirs, at another season to tiers of hanging Z/$: gardens. The Irrigation, of these shelves, with works extending in one instance for a distance of twelve miles, is brought about by the deflec- ^ tion of mountain streams.

I was under the receiver of an enormous exhaust pump, which was fitted into the dome above my head. Dr. Chance had told me that the dome was used for causing a vacuum. In a vacuum I knew no one could live, t gasped for breath and screamed to him for mercy, but the piston'thumped on quicker and quicker.

A report dealing with the coal- resources of Canada has been issued by the Dominion Department of Mines. The estimates given are only based on Wna>-is known, i n the western and northern regions, which have been little explored, t h e r ^ & a y be vaslt deposits of which nothing whatever J s Ipiown at present. T&a.offici&ls pi the department estimate that of bitatnindua coal there is in Canada 7.?¼ bljlipn tons; of .anthracite 461 i l l - lion tons; sub-bituminous and lignite ^ver IQQ.bUllon tons. The quantity - «p| coal now annually mined in Canada l i l ^ b o u t 12 million tons. With an es- ^^ttpated quantity of unmixed good coal, 3|||p74 billion tons, it would require years to exhaust the supply. If the inferior grades were included, supply would last for 14,575 years. Of course the coal demands of Canada "will keep on increasing, but it will be a good many years before the quantity M Canadian coal mined will equal present output of the United States mines. Tfceir annual output is about ©00,000,000* tons. At that . rate lt Would take only 145 years to exhaust the estimated Canadian supply of good coal, and about 350 years to get *6 the end of the total supply.

Already some fields of wheat have been harvested, barley has been cut, and the yield is above his expectation.

With millions of acres of land, capable of producing twenty-five to forty bushels of wheat to the acre; or, if in oats, irom forty to ninety, and even as high .as a hundred bushels per acre, or the «ame splendid yields of flax or barley, there is ample Inducement to attract these hundreds of thousands who .are filling the present agricultural settlements and pushing forward into the newer settlements year by year, and -leave room still for the hundreds of thousands who will follow. There re- 4 mains not only the agricultural wealth of the country, but there are also the social advantages, the home-making privileges, apart altogether from the financial opportunities, there is the life and £he energy born from the knowledge that the settler is more than a l i m i t "in. the upbuilding, in the making l^o* a "country that will soon • rank amphgist the first in:the nations of world.

There is, as has been said, a vast area of the country still open for settlement and homesteading lying in the center north. Speaking of this gart a writer, who made the trip when the crop was in its green stage, said: "Just no -.v., the whole country is a beautiful s'^ht, aa-it presents itself in full dress of living green, varied in shade, many places elegantly fringed and interspersed with pleat ing s of shrubbery and patches of sweet scented flowers in. rose, yellow, white, pink, scarlet, cardinal and purple. In traveling over the virgin soil, I have seen some of the most charming rolling prairies, sloping hills, deep ravines, mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields, and natural parks that one could wish to behold, and all placed there without the aid of man. The land in general is heavily matted with grass, mixed with vetches and pea vibes, nearly up t6 the knee, and many millions of acres of which are going to waste while beef, pork and mutton are soar* iUg at prices heretofore unknown. The comparatively small acreage under cultivation reminds one of a few small garden patches. "When we consider the estimated crop ot 300,000,000 bushels of wheat for 1912, to be produced on these western prairies from these garden patches, some faint idea can be formed by an imaginative mind as to the immense possibilities and rich heritage of a glorious western Canada," i. | The estimate of the wheat crop, as made by the writer quoted, Is excessive, but with even 250 milliqn bushels* there will be a great deal of satisfaction on the part of the settlers.

Wright. The legislature of 1911 gave to the superintendent the power of definitely outlining the course of study which must be followed ": in every district school in the state. Heretofore" the course of study was optional with each district board, the superintendent's power ibejng onlJJ advisory. Mr. Wright tak*> advantage of the opportunity given him by the new law and will require a course of agriculture to be introduced in every district school. On account of the lack of preparation in this subject on the p a n of teachers, Supt. Wright only requires one-half year of intensive studyy With a text book, this to be given iu the eighth grade. In addition to this intensive study, a . course i n nature study, beginning with the third grade and advancing through school and h o m e gardening, crop planting and allied subjects is recommended as niost desirable supplementary work.' First Step in Wide Reform. The prescribed course in agriculture is simply the first step toward reforming the rural schools in the state and making them reiiect1 the fife which surrounds t&em rather ifhao weakly imitating' the city school. Supt. Wright is earnestly advocating the ruralizing; of the country schools; *hat is, giving the fiwy* -and girls qf the fanning distrittts an Insight i'ato the problems which; are in close relation to tfceir lives, arousing an interest itt scientific'agriculture, malting the&r trainv ing not only of cultural but oft practical1 value as well. As fast iw i'ft fc* practtel the work tti agriculture4 will be" extended to the* other grades. Thev new course o f ttudy does: not slop with the introduction o t agriculture, important as that step* is, bull it 'emphasizes throughout its scope the: d u r a b i l i t y foiv making? ttoe1 w o r k o f t h e rural school more practical. In aaiititmetic, for example, tliw problems are? to d e a l wiHh potatoes, grain, butt&r/,, eggs, farm fields, pro* ductivenesa o f cows a n d h e n s . ThesP are not to) deal with hypothetical* cases whirttt. aare n o t in raage. of the* experiences o f a boy or girl on: t h * farm a n d prabahiy never, w i l l be;, tint they w i l l ha such problems in farnx accounting? that their fathers and. mothers ar/r G a l l e d upon constantsy, txa consider. Lear.n1 Practical Things*. The geography in the new- aoua»ae' of study wilt be-gin at home, and. the child, w i l l b«. taught something about hia own towns hip, county and, state b e f o r e he has. t o master the. list, of-European, capitals and to bound the various Jfcsiatic empires. The problems of food production and! their relation to, p e o p l e is of more imnortanae-- in the present-day conception, of geo.r graphy than drawing of wetwi naa.psi a n d the memorizing of the names of various, rivers end mountain; ranges, Instead o f learning the aames. o£ all the. bones in the body and being able locate the various organs aitd describe their functions, the child is to le&rn h o w to take c a r e ol bis teeth, skirt, e y e s , ears and other parts of hia body, how to revive a person who is. nearly drowned; what to do in case a person is burned or suffers a broken bone'^or a severed artery. The menace of flies and mosquitoes and other similar questions of hygiene and sanitation will supersede the technical physiology which has been taught in the country schools. Teach Correct Speaking. Reading in the new course ot^tudy. is emphasized as probably the most important subject ir the schools. Teachers are instructed to train the* chidrren to" read for the thought rather thaii for expression, so silent rather than aloud reading is recommended. The .plan is for the^ child to read silently from the printed-page, close his'book 'and then stand before the Class and tell what he has read. In this way the child not only learns to ,^ead quickly and for tbethought,but he acquires the desirable ability to stand on his feet, face other people and use the English language. He learns to speak correctly, as criticism is an important part of the work. The idea is that Ambits of »correct speech are infinitely more valuable to the boy or girl than a knowledge of rules of grammar. • . . - ' | „ * • - J.

Coal dealers anticipate that by October the anthracite shortage in New York and other cities will amount to 6,500,000 tons. This shortage, caused by the cessation of mining in April and May, wiij begin, to be felt severely, it is believed, as soon as the winter demand for coal begins. Nova Scotia dealers who have found it impossible to fill their orders i n their territory went to New York and placed orders with the whbTesalers. The mayor of Toronto, it is stated, has cabled to Wales for Welsh anthracite, which is^ inferior to the American article. Philadelphia May Sell Foods.

Betty never drew rein until she reached Thicket Point. As she galloped into the^ard Bruce Carrington came from the house. "How is Mr. Norton?" she asked, extending her hand. "The doctor says he'll be up and about Inside of a week. If you'll wait I'll .tell him you are here." Carrington passed on into the house. He entered the room where Norton lay. "Miss Malroy Is here," he said. "Betty?—bless her dear heart!" cried Charley weakly. "Just toss my clothes Into the closet and draw up a chair. . . , There—thank ypu, Bruce—let her come along In now." And as Carrington quitted the room, Norton drew himself up on the pillows and faced the door. "This is worth several beatings, Betty!" he exclaimed as she appeared. Be bent to kiss the hand she gave him, but groaned with the exertion. Tnen he looked up Into feer face and saw her eyes swimming with tears. "What—tears?" and he was much moved. "It's a perfect etatrageT^\ Betty paused irresolutely. "Charley—" •'Yes, dear?" "Can't you be haprpy without me?" "No." "But you don't try to be!" "No use in my making any sued foolish'effort, I'd be doomed to failure. 'Good-by, Chsrley—i really must go— 11 lie looked up yearningly into tier face, and yielding to a sudden impulse, she stooped and kissed him on the forehead, then she tied from the room. C H A P T E R * V . At the Church Door. Tom found Betty at supper. "You were over to see Norton, weren't you, ©et? How did you Und him?" "The doctor says he will soon be about again." "Betty, I wish you wouldn't go there again—that's a good $lri'!" he said tactfully, and A S he conceived it, affectionately. Betty glanced up quickly. "Why, Tom, why shouldn't 1 go there?" "It might set people gossiping. 1 reckon there's been pretty near enough talk about you and Charley Norton." The planter's tone was conciliatory in the .extreme, he dared not risk a break 4>y any open show or authority. "You needn't distress yourself, Tom. I don't know that I shall go there again," said Betty .indifferently. At Thicket Point ^Charley Norton, •greatly excited, babbled into the l i - brary in search <nf Carrington. He found him reading toy the ope© window. "(Look here, firueei" fce cried. "It'* settled; she's going ito marry me! CaasiU gtou wish me tor?" Carrington held out his hand. "You are not going «0 take any risks stow, you have too much to live for," fee said haltingly. "No, I'm to keep away from Belle Plain," said Norton happily. "She insists on that. Everything is to tie kept a secret until we are actually married; It's Jier wish—" "It's to be soon, then?" Carrington asked, still haltingly. "Very soon." here was a brief silence. CarrlhHFeed a e , * i § ^ Malroy a * l l f ^ "What am I to do without you?"— his voice was almost a whisper* "What ls this thing you have d b n e f Betty's heart was beating with dull sickening throbs. "If you had only come!" she moaned. "Now I ain going to be married tomorrow, I am to meet him at the Spring $ank church at ten o'clock." "How can I give you up?" he said, his voice hoarse with emotion. He put her from him almost roughly, and leaning against the trunk of a tree buried his face in his hands. Betty watched him for a moment In wretched silence. "It's good-by—" he muttered. She went to him, and, as he bent above her, slipped her arms about his neck. "Kiss me—" she breathed'. He kissed her hair, her soft cheek, then their lips met. m a e a e e • 9 Another hot September ^ sun was beating upon the earth as Betty galloped down the lane and swung her horse's head in the direction of Raleigh. ' She would keep her promise to Charley and he should never know what his happiness had cost her. Norton joined her before she had covered a third of the distance that separated the two plantations. "We are to go to the church. Mr. Bowen will be there; I arranged with him last night; he will drive over with his wife and daughter, who will be our witnesses, dear." • * . • 9 , 9 9 - 9 9 Afterward' Betty could remember standing before the church in the fierce morning light; she heard Mr. Bo weft's voice, she heard Charley's voice, she heard another voice—ber own, though she scarcely recognized it. "I'll tie* the horses, Betty," Bald Norton. He had reached the edge of the <oaks when from the silent depths of the denser woods came the sharp report of a rifle. The shock of the bullet sent the young fellow staggering back»•* among the mossy and myrtle1 • covered graves. For a moment no one grasped what had happened, only there was Norton who seemed to grope strangely among the graves. He had fallen now. Even as the shadows deepened h® was aware that Betty was coming swiftly toward him. "I'm shot—" he said, speaking with difficulty. For two or three days bands of armed man scoured the woods and roads, "and then this activity quite unproductive of any tangible results ceased, matters were allowed to rest with tho constituted authorities, namely Mr. Betts, the sheriff, and his deputies. No private citizen had shown greater zeal than Judge Slocum Price. One morning he found under his door a folded paper: "You talk too much. Shut up, or you'll go where Norton went." A few moments later he burst In on Mr. Saul. "Glance at that, my friend!" he cried, as he tossed the paper on the clerk's desk. "What do you make of it, sir?" , "Well, I'd keep still." The judge laughed derisively as he bowed himself out. He established himself in his office. He had scarcely done so when Mr: Betts knocked at the door. The sheriff came direct from Mr. Saul and arrived out of .breath, but the letter was n6t mentioned by the Judge. He spoke of the crops, the chance of rain, and the Intricacies of county politics. The sheriff withdrew mystified, wondering why it was he had not felt at liberty tp broach the subject which was uppermost in his mind. tfis place was taken by Mr. Pegloe and on the heels of the tavern-keeper came Mr. Bowen. Judge Price received them with condescension, but back of the condescension was an air of reserve that did not invite questions. The judge discussed the extension of the national roads with Mr. Pegloe, and the religion of the Persian fire-worshipers with Mr. Bowen; he permited never a pause and they retired as the sheriff had done* without sight of the letter. The judge's office became a perfect Mecca for the idle and the curious, and while he overflowed with high-bred courtesy he had never seemed so unapproachable—never so remote from matters of local and contemporary interest. "Why don't you show 'em the letter?" demanded Mr. Mahaffy, when they were alone. "Can't you see they are suffering for a sight of it?" "All in good time, Solomon." He became thoughtful. "Solomon, I am thinking of offering a reward for any information that will lead to the discovery of my anonymous correspondent," he at length observed with a finely casual air, as if the idea had "Charley—Charley J" She Moaned. ly—Charley—", she moaned, inns abouj to her bi and just occurred to him, and had not been seething in his brain a l l day.

The State Fair management has arranged with the company who put on the fireworks at Oadillaqua before hundreds of thousands of delighted people, to put oh at the State 'Fair a -series of displays rivalling Cadillaqua in beauty and splendor. One of the main attractions will be the fireworks for the main piece showing the Fall of Old Mexico, an apt subject just at this time. The Castle of Chahultepec, where Pres. Diaz had his headquarter*, is shown on its lofty mountain side location as is also Popecatapel, the mighty volcano that is plainly apparent from the city of Mexico. Another feature display will be the battle among tbe skies, showing a glimpse Into the future. In this great spectacle will be seen the struggle of airships for mastery in the air and the picture is very realistic. Thousands of dollars will be the expense of these splendid features at the state fair. "Farmer Bill" Endicott of Ind,, has entered:for the automobile races at the state fair. "Farmer Bill" is a farmer in reality and ffhen not travelling at a lightning speed in his automobile, is busy on his farm down in Indiana where he raises everything worth while. _ His success on the farm and success on the road and track has brought Mr. Endicott a great deal of money and incidentally a great deal of fame. His latest achievement was travelling 100 miles in just 96 minutes at Old Orchard, Maine. He has competed with honors in great races including the 500 mile race at Indianapolis. Wilt MA2IOM.

PROGRESSIVE TICKET. For President: THEODORE ,ROOSEVELT. For Vice-President: HIRAM W. JOHNSON. Chicago, Aug. S.^Theodpre, flopsevelt and Hiram W. Johnson were unanimously selected as the standard bearers of the new Progressive party amid scenes of the wildest enthusiasm ever witnessed in a political convention. Both candidates appeared • before the convention and accepted the nominations in brief speeches that were received with deafening applause. In keeping with its record as the singing convention, the first national gathering of the Progressive Tpar-ty wound up with the singing of the doxology. Prendergast Names Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt's name as the first candidate for president of the Progressive party was presented to the convention by William A. Brendergast of New York. As Mr. Prendergast concluded ,his nominating speech with the words, "I present you America's greatest statesman and lion-hearted citizen, Theodore Roosevelt," the convention —audience and delegates — again transported themselves into a frenzy of delight The demonstration that followed was in all respects similar to that which had followed the appearance ot the colonel ln the same hall twenty-four hours before, only yesterday's demonstration was even more wildly enthusiastic, more frenzied, more noisy than the former one. Seconding Speeches Made. The uproar continued for 45 minutes. When order finally was restored by Chairman Beveridge, Judge Ben B. Lindsey began the first of the seconding speeches. His speech, too, evoked a demonstration, as did the others all the Way down the line. , ^ane Addams of Hull house followed him and. she was given an ovation such as never before has been given to a woman. Other seconding speeches were made by A T. Hamilton, Georgia; Horatio King, New York; Col. T^ P. Lloyd of Florida, a Confederate veteran, who had lost an arm in the Civil war; John M . McDowell and Lucius F . C. Garvin. , » Johnson U Chosen. After the nomination by acclamation the vice-presidency was taken up and Governor Johnson of California .was unanimously chosen. John M . Parker of Louisiana presented the name of Governor Johnson in a speech that was wildly cheered. Seconding speeches were made by a number of delegates. The platform presented by the resolutions committee was unanimously adopted. ,,' i , ; \ The temporary organization of the convention was made permanent when the convention met at noon yesterday and Chairman Beveridge was given^ an ovation when he briofty expressed ait topreciaUon'of the honor. Demonstration for Colonel. Before a vast audience of riotous, enthusiastic followers Colonel Roosevelt Tuesday presented nis new political creed. It was an epoch-making speech, marking a new era ln the political, and perhaps the economical, history of the country. The scemes attending" the arrival and reception of Colonel Roosevelt at the Coliseum were of remarkable interest. Seemingly everyone, knew that the occasion was historical. It was a personal greeting such as haB been given to few men in public assemblies. For one hour the demonstration continued. It began with a long, western veil, and dropped into a steady eastern roar, wjiich continued* interspersed with songs, parades, state cheers and parodies on hymns for the better part of the hour. A more colorful, scene has been rarely witnessed. The great hall was a sea of waving bandanna handkerchiefs. Roosevelt, himself, had one almost as big as a tablecloth, which he shook ln recognition of the cheers. The building was crowded. Is Real Pleased. Far from showing displeasure, or trying to stop the noise, the colonel was aadeiighted as a football hero:in a college game. He waved to every corner of the hall, and his- teeth gleamed in a pleased recognition ofv the ovation. { The cheering started at 1 2 ; a n d at 1 o'clock it was still too loud'to'allow -the business to proceed. Instead^ a march of the states began, ; Ohio, New York, Missouri and Pennsylvania, in the order named, starred a march to the platform with their state banners and markers. Other states fell into line and it seemed something must give way the way Jhey crowded and surged about the very front of the speaker's,stand. Ari-, zona, Montana, Iowa and Georgia weW in the front and Delaware, Virginia and Colorado were crowding them. The band at the 'back of the hall strove to play. Perhaps it did. The snare drummer had a revolver and he could be seen shooting from time to time. But the other efforts of the band that came in with the Roosevelt parade were lost. They worked and worked, but it did not do any good. It was all lost *in a volume of shouts. While the demonstration was at; its height a woman, borne on the shoulders of two stalwart delegates, was taken past the press stand and. in front of the speakers' stand. The* woman was Mrs. Ferdinand White of Chicago. She wore a long yellow 'Totes for Wonjen" streamer pinned across the bosom of her white dress. She smiled and scented happy, and as she was carried past the speakers' stand she looked into the face of the former president and screamed, "Teddy! Teddy!" The Eighteenth Pennsylvania district carried a big ring wrapped in a flag-and there was a real Rough Rider hat suspended in It - As the cheering eased up the colonel drew one of the red bandannas from his own, pocket and waved i t The crowd, could make no more noise, but it could wave more handkerchiefs and it did.. When the demonstration had lasted 15 minutes the crowd began singing "John Brown." For a little while the roiling clamor of the song nearly drowned out the cheering. But not quite. The crowd had to give way to a stored-up enthusiasm that was too great for music and th spite of the rhythmical swing of the music there was a staccato of handclapping and a t booming accompaniment of cheers. As the singing died down, t h o ^ W e Want Teddy'? yell, the key of the long demon s^ratipgjor Roosevelt at the Republican convention, broke forth and kept up in all parts of the building. It beat in ^/increasing volume and regular rhythm against a background of other sounds that seemed to make itjmore distinct Miss Jane Aadams, Illinois delegate at large, was liftecTto the speaKera* stand.

All the women with the CaUfornia delegation went to the stand. It was a signal for more cheers.

Entering the main room, he led her gently to one of tbe chairs near the table and immediately thereafter lighted the fire which he had taken the precaution to lay before his departure. It had been dark in the cabin, but the Are soon filled it with glorious light She watched him at his task and as tie rose from the hearth questioned him: "Now tell me/' she began, "you found—" "First your supper, and then the atory," he answered, turning toward the door of the other room. "No," pleaded the girl, "can't you see that nothing ls of any Importance to me but the story? Did you find the camp?" . "I found the place where it had been." * "Where it had been!" "There wasn't a single vestige of it left. That whole pocket, I knew it well, had been swept clean by the flood." "But Klrkby, and Mrs. Maitland and—" "They weren't there." "Did you search for them?" "Certainly." "Bat they can't have been drowned," ahe exclaimed piteousiy. "Of course not," he began reassuringly. "Kirkby is a veteran of these mountains and—" "But dp you know him?" queried the girl in g*eat surprise. "I did once," said the man, flushing darkly at his admission. "I haven't seen him for five years." So that was the measure Of his Isolation, thought the woman, keen for the slightest evidence as to her companion's history, of which, by the way, he meant to tell her nothing. "Well?" she asked, breaking the pause. "Kirkby would" certainly see the cloud burst coming and he would take the people with him in the camp up on the hogback near it. It is far above the flood line; they would be quite safe there." "And did you look for them there?" "I did. The trail had been washed out, but I scrambled up and found undisputed evidence that my surmise was correct. I haven't a doubt that all who were in the camp were saved." "Thank God for that,'7 said the girl, greatly relieved and comforted by his reassuring words. "And Robert Maitland and the rest on the mountain, what do you t h i i k of them?" "I am sure that they must have escaped, jtoo. I don't think any of them have suffered more than a thorough drenching i n the downpour and that the^ are a l l safe and perhaps on their way to the settlements now." "But'tBey wouldn't go hack ,wftnout searching for- me, would theyf" cried the g i f t - * "Certainly not t suppose they" are searching l o r you now/' ,jr$tysll then—" ^ a i t , " said *the laan. "Youstarted down the canon, you told everybody you/were going that-way. They naturally searched in that direction, Ihey hacTht the faintest idea that you were going up the river. "No," admitted Enid, "that Is true. I did not tell anyone. I didn't dream tf fcoing up the canon when I started Out i n the morning, it waa the result ef a sudden inrpulse." ( ^ ' " "God bless that—" burst out the msm, and then he checked himself, flulhing again darkly. What had be been about to say? The question flashed across his ow*n mlttd and into the woman's mind at the.*'gaine^tlme' when she, heard the Incompleted sentence; but she, too, checked the question that rose to her lips* " T h i i i e the * why f ftguref i t * continned the man hurriedly to cover up b i s . m m % A A " t t e * : t h e m - selves alone in these mountains, which, save for me, they are; they be- Heve you to bate goat down the oan- »«1 it i on. Kirkby with Mrs. Maitland and the others waited on the ridge until Mr, "Maitland and his party joined them. They couldn't have saved very much to eat or wear from the camp, they were miles from a settlement; they probably divided into two parties, the larger with the woman and children, started for home, the second went down the canon searching for your dead body!" "And had it not been for you," cried the girl, impulsively, "they had found it." "God permitted me to be of service to you," answered the man, simply. "I can follow their speculations exactly; up or down, they believed you to have been in the canon when the cloud burst, therefore there was only one place and one direction to search for you." 1 "And that was?" "Down the*canon?" "'What did you do then?" "I went down the canon: myself. I think I saw evidence that some one had preceded me, too." Did ydu overtake them?" Certainly not, they traveled as , rapldl^ as I; they must have started early in the morning and they had several hours the advantage of me." "But they must have stopped somewhere for the night and—" "Yes/' answered the man; "if I had only myself to consider, I should have pressed on through the night and overtaken «them when they camped." "Only yourself?" "You made me promise to return here by nightfall. I don't know whether I should tiave. obeyed you or not. I kept on as long as I dared and still leave myself time to get back to you by dark." She had no idea of the desperate speed he had made to reach her while it was still daylight. "If you hadn't come when you did, I should have died," cried the girl impetuously. "You did perfectly right. I don't think I am a coward; I hope not. I never was afraid before, but—" "pon't apologize or explain to me, it's not necessary; I understand everything you feel. It was only because I had given you my word to be back by sunset that I left off following their trail. I was afraid that you might think me deid or that something had happened aind—" "I should, I did," admitted the girl. "It wasn't so bad during the day time, but when the sun went down and you did not come I began to imagine everything. I saw myself left alone here in these mountains, helpless, wounded, wltnotit a human being to speak to. I could not bear it." "But I have been here alone for five years," said the man grimly. "That's different. Ijdon't know why you have chosen solitude, but I—" "You are a woman," returned the other gently, "and you have suffered, that accounts for everything." "Thank you," said Enid, gratefully. "And I am so glad you came back to me. "Back to you," reiterated the man, and then he stopped. If he had allowed his heart to speak he would have said, Back to you from the very ends of the world. "But I want you to believe that I honestly did not leave the trail until the ultimate moment," he added. "I do beUeve It;" she'extended her hand to him. "You have been very good to me, I trust you absolutely." And for the second time he took that graceful, dainty, aristocratic hand in his own larger, stronger, firmer grasp. His face flushed again; under other circumstances and in other days perhaps he might have kissed that hand. As it was he only held it for a moment and then gently released i t "And you think they are searching' for me?" she asked. "I know i t I am sure of what I myself would do for one I love—I loved, I mean, and they—" "And they will find met" The man shook his head. "I am afraid they will be convinced that you have gone down with the flood. Didn't you have a cap or—" "Yes," said the woman, "and a sweater. The bear you shot covered the sweater with blood, I could not put it on again." , > As she spoke she flushed a glorious crimson at the remembrance of that meeting, but the man waa looking away with studied care. She thanked him in her heart for such generous and kindly consideration.' < "They will have gone down the stream with the rest, and it's Just possible that, the fearchers may find them, the body of the bear, too. This river ends in a deep mountain lake and I think it is going to snow; it will oe frozen hard tomorrow." "And they will think me—there?"* *I am afraid so." "And they wont come, up here?" at the dire possibility that ihe might not be found. "I took aa empty bottle With me," said the man, breaking the silence, "in which I had enclosed a paper saying that ydu were here and safe, save for your wounded foot, and giving direction how to reach the place. I built a cairn of rocks In a sheltered nook in the valley where your camp had been pitched and left the tightly corked bottle wedged on top of it. If they return toThe camp they cduld.scarcely fail to see i t " ' "But If they don't go back there." "Well, it was just a chance." "And if they don't find toe?" "You will have to stay here for a. while; until your foot gets well enough to travel, anyway," returned the man, evasively. "But winter ls coming on; you said the lake would,freeze tonight and if it snows?" * "It will snow." The woman stared at him "appalled. "And in that case—" "I am afraid," was the slow reply, "that you will h%ve to stay here." He hesitated in the face of her white, still face—"all winter/' he added, desperately. "My God," exclaimed the girl, "alone, with you?" "Miss Maitland," said the-man, resolutely, "I might as well tell you the truth. I can make my way to the settlements now or later, but It will be a journey of perhaps a week. There will be no danger to me, but you will have to stay here. You could not go with me. If I am any judge you couldn't possibly use your foot for a mountain Journey for at least three weeks, and by that time we shall be snowed in smiled faintly as she used the old word of tropic island ?and southern sea—"together.

"I know what is in your mind. It is entirely clear to me. We can do nothing else." "So be i t You need have no apprehension as to your materia4! comfort; I have lived in these mountains for a long time. I am prepared for anifc> emergency. I pass my time in the summer getting ready for the winter. There is a cave, or recess rather, behind the house which, as you see, is built against the rock watt, and it is filled With wood enough to keep us warm for two or three winters; I have an ample supply * of provision and clothing for my own needs. You will need something warmer than that you wear," he continued. "Have you needle, thread and cloth?" she asked. "Everything," was the prompt answer. "Then I shall not suffer/' "Are you that wonder of wonders," asked the man, smiling lightly, "an educated woman who knows how to sew?" "It is a tradition in Philadelphia," "And Who Is James Armstrong?" as effectuaUy aa if we were within the arctic circle* But if ^ou will let me go alone to the. settlement I can bring back your uncle, a woman to keep you company, before the trails are impassible. O r enough men to make it practicable to take you through the canons and down the trails to your home again. I could not do that alone even if you were well, in the depth of winter." v The girl shook her head stubbornly. " A week alone in these mountains * answered the girl, "that her daughters should be expert needlewomen/' "Oh, you are from Philadelphia." "Yes, and you?" * She threw the question at him so deftly and'so quickly that she caught bin* unaware and off his guard a second time within the hour. "Baltimore," he answered before he thought, and then bit his lip. He had determined to vouchsafe her no information regarding himself, and here she had surprised him into an admission sively. "It isn't to be thought of." "It must be thought of," urged the man. "You don't understands It is either that or spend the. winter here with me." The woman looked at him steadily. "And what bave 1 to fear from you?" she asked. * , "Nothing, nothing, as Qod is my witness/' protested the other; "but the world?*: "The world," said the woman reflectively. . "I don't mean to say that it means nothing to me, but it hat cause efip^b tbr what it would fator say now/* She came to her decision swiftly. "There is no help for i t / ' she oeoiiaued, "wo are maroon#4"~afe# and I should be mad." she said deci- f in the first blush of their acquaintance, and she knew that she had triumphed for she smiled in recognition of it. She tried another tack. "Mr. Newbold," she began at a venture, and as it was five years since he had heard that name, his surprise at ber knowledge, which after all was very simple, betrayed him a third time. "We are like stories I have read,4 peopiewho have been cast away on desert Islands and—" "Yea," said the man, "but no castaways that I have ever read of bave been so bountifully provided with everything necessary to the comfort of life as we are. I told you I lacked nothing for your a r t e r i a l welfare, end even your mind need not stagnate." "I have looked at your books already," said the woman, answering his glance. ' This was where she had found his name, he realized. "You will have this room for your own use and I will take the other for mine," he continued. "I am loath to dispossess you." "I shall be quite comfortable there, and this shall be your room exclusively except when you bid me enter, as when I bring you your meals. I shall hold it inviolate." "But," said the woman, '"there must be an equal division of labor. I must do my share." "There isn't much to do in the winter except to take care of the burros, keep up the fire and prepare what we have to cat." "I am afraid I should be unequal to outdoor work, but in the rest I must do my part." He recognized at once that Idleness would be Irksome. "So you shall/' he assented heartily', "when your foot is well enough to make you an efficient member of our little society." "Thank you, and now—" "Is there anything else before I get supper?" "You think there is no hope of their searching for me here?"* The man shook his head. "If James Armstrong had been in the party." she said reflectively, "I am sure he would never have given up." "And who is James Armstrong, may I ask?" burst forth the other bluntly. "Why he—I—he is "a friend of my uncle and an—acquaintance of my own." "Oh," said the man Hhortly and gloomily, as he turned away. Elnid Maitland had been very brave In his presence, but when he went out she put her head down on her arms on the table and cried softly to herself. Was ever a woman in such a predicament, thrown into the arms of a man who had established every conceivable claim upon her gratitude, forced to live with him shut up in a two-room log cabin upon a lonely mountain range, surrounded by lofty and inaccessible peaks, pierced by terrific gorges soon to be impassable from the snows? She had read many stories of castaways, fr* m Charles Reade's famous "Foul Piay" down to more modern instances, but in those cases there had always been an island comparatively large over which to reign with privacy, seclusion, opportunity for withdrawal; bright heavens, balmy breezes, idyllic conditions. Here were two uplifted from the earth upon a sky-piercing mountain. They would have had more range of action and more liberty of motion if they had been upon a derelict in the ocean. And she realized at the same time that in aU those stories tho two castaways always loved each other. Would it be so with them? Was it so? And again the hot flame within outvied the fire of the hearth aa the blood rushed to the smooth surface of her cheek again. What would her father say if he could know her position, what would the world say, and above all what would Armstrong say. It cannot be denied that her thoughts were terribly and overwhelmingly dismayed, and yet that despair was not without a certain relief. No man had ever so interested her as this one. What was the mystery of his life, why was he there, what had he meant when he had blessed the idle impulse that had sent her into his arms? , ^ . . . . . , . / ^ ' Her heart throbbed again, febe lifted her face from her hands and dried her tears, a warm glow stole over ber and once again not altogether from the fire. Who and what was this man? Who was that woman whose picture he had taken from her? Well, she would have time to find out And meantime the world outside could think and do' what it pleased. She sat staring into the fire light, seeing pictures there, dreatning dream*. She was as lovely as an angel to the map,; when he came back into the room. C H A P T E R XIV. The Woman's Heart. That upper earth on which they lived was covered with a thick blanket of snow. The lakes and pools were frozen from shore to shore. The mountain brooks, if they flowed at all, ran under thick arches of ice. The deepest .canons were well -nigh impassible from huge drifts that sometimes almost rose level with the tops of the walls. In every sheltered spot great banks of white were massed. The spreading branchea of the tall pine trees in the valleys drooped under heavy burdens of snow. Only here and. there sharp gaunt peaks were swept clean by the fierce winter winds and thrust themselves upward in icy air, naked and bare. The cold was polar in its bitter Intensity. Tbe UUIe shelf or plateau jvttink out t r o a the mountain a l i a upon which tbe lonely cabin stood wa^ she«V tered from the prevailing wind's, but' tbe house itself was almost covered with the drifts: T n e * m i t a i | t fire roaring up the huge stone • ohlmney had melted some,of the snow at the top and it had run down the slanting roof and formed huge icicles on what had been the eaves of the house. The) man had cut away the drifts froga doors and windows for light and liberty. At first, every stormy nigh* would fill his laborious clearings with drifting snow, but, aa it became pack* ed down and frozen solid he was able to keep his various ways open without a great deal of, dUBculty, A little work every morning .and evening sufficed. ) Every day he had to go down tho mountain stairway to the bottom of the pocket to feed and water the burros. What was a quick and simple) task In milder, warmer seasons some* times took him a half a day under the present rigorous conditions. And the) woman never saw him Btart out i n the storm without a sinking heart and grave apprehension. On his return to the cabin half frozen, almost spent and exhausted, she ever welcomed him with eager gratitude and satisfaction which would shine lti her eyes, throb in her heart and tremble upon her lips, control it as she might And ho thought it was well worth all tbe trouble and hardships of his task to be so greeted when he came back to her. Winter had set in unusually early and with unprecedented severity. Any kind of winter in the mountains would have amazed the girl, but even the- man with his larger experience declared he had never before known such sharp «and sudden cold, or such deep and lasting snows. His daily records had never shown such low temperatures nor had his observation ever noted such wild and furious storms as raged then and there. It seemed as if Nature were In a conspiracy to seal up the mountains and all they contained, to make ingress and egress alike impossible. A month had elapsed and Enid's foot was now quite well. The man had managed to sew up her boot where the knife had cut it a n d ' a l - though the job was a clumsy one tho result was a usable shoe. It is astonishing the comfort she took when she first put it on and discarded for good the shapeless woolen stocking which had covered the clumsy bandage happily no longer necessary. A l - though the torn and bruised member had healed and she could use it with care, her foot was still very tender and capable of sustaining no violent or long continued strain. Of necessity she had been largely confined to tho house, but whenever it had been possible he had wrapped her in his great bear skin coat and had helped her out to the edge of the cliff for a breath of fresh air. Sometimes he would leave her there alone, would perhaps have left her alone—Uiere always had she not imperiously required his company. Insensibly she had acquired tbe habit— not a difficult one for a woman to fall into—of taking the lead in tho small affairs of their circumscribed existence, and. he had acquiesced i n her dominance without hesitation or remonstrance. It was she who or* dered their dally walk and conversation. Her wishes were consulted about everything; to be sure no great > range of 'choice waa allowed them, of liberty of action or freedom in tho constraints with which nature bound them, but whenever there was anjr selection she made it. The man yielded everything for her and yet he did it without in any way derogating from bis self-respect o r without surrendering his natural in* dependence.

When we were married we talked the financial matter over and decided that i f we were ever to come to an easy, comfortable old age we must begin to save at once. We decided to sacrifice a certain amount of social standing rather than economize on our table. We lived i n the city and husband and I were always well dressed for church and street occasions, but never aspired to any social prestige because we could not. When our little girl was born, we spared no pains or expense to give her the best food obtainable. We wanted her to be psysically perfect, for we knew that with a fine physique, mental qualities would develop i n proportion. Once qur family physician was called i n to see her and when he inquired about her diet I remarked I was giving her meat broths and meat juices two or three times a week. ''Yes," he said, "that's good* She's well nourished. One can see that. Our baby should have those things, too, but we just can't afford it. Qas and meats are so very high we can't do i t " That week his wife incidentally remarked to the that her new fall hat cost $15. Jack and I were horrified that one could deny the baby things she needed and be so extravagant i n dress. We would never, never do such a thing. We would never let our children be bowlegged, pale faced little creatures and us animated fashion plates! Aids for our delusions! F i v e years passed and Jennie was old enough to enter Sunday school. , We got her a new cloak, hat and shoes dnd one dress for "best" She loved her Sunday school teacher and Sunday was Jennie's one day of all. She attended regularly for six weeks. Then our air castles fell. She came home one day crying as i f her heart were broken. After much coaxing we n . , , . . -i . « «• 1 1 * 1 . 1 x t store.

Of course, we knew this child of 10 had never thought that out Some one i n her home had made a remark like that and the child had passed the idea / !?e r J " " e " l o n / ° 1 1 ° * ^ * Sir John's _ 1 n • v . x i r n T • M I L • o r death. This order waa granted, on. B u t we never could convince little 5-year-old Jennie or this. She only saw her own humiliation and no amount of coaxing would induce her to go back to Sunday school. Fortunately we moved from the city and she has forgotten it. She goes to Sunday school now and dresses better than we. can afford to dress at the expense of our table. We decided it would be hunger-ache or heartache and so chose the former. I t was a most difficult problem, but we think i t has been solved. av J TO the long hidden romance in the life of bachelor^ord SackvlUe. which began when he, then a •young diplomatic attache at Madrid, fell in love with a music hall dancer, there has just been added a romance of another sort in the life of another old bachelor, Sir John Murray Scott, which links his name with the dancer's daughter. The public offer of a reward of $50,- 000 for the discovery and return of an executed copy of a codicil of Sir John's will signed subsequent to 1907 brings the facts to light and presents a mystery with many interesting angles. On February 16 last Gen. Douglas A l - exander Scott, a grUzled veteran in the British service, applied to the courts in London for appointment as receiver of his brother Sir John's estate, which is estimated to be worth many millions. When this application came up for a hearing in April a surprise was in B e s t M e t h o d o f P u n i s h i n g Y o u n g C h i l d By THOMAS C.

When the child does something that he should not, simply say to him i n a kind way, " D o not do t h a t " Then, provided the offense is committed again, you are at liberty to make a choice of punishments as you choose. One of the finest methods is, after the deed, to ask: " D i d not I tell you not to do that?" After a while the child w i l l ask you for a favor and you can then refuse him by saying that he cannot have i t because he d i d what you told h i m not to do.

The national guard is an organization founded for the purpose of protecting state and city property and to quell riots which are too great to be handled by the civil authorities. It is also a reserve force of the army, each man being called upon to do nine months' service. Many persons form the belief that the national guard is used only to fight strikers and to protect "scabs." I can honestly say that it is founded for no such ideas. The national guard offers a young man many club features, such as athletic meets, indoor baseball, basket ball, dancing, vaudeville, rifle practice. The rifle practice is absolutely without expense to members, as ammunition and transportation are furnished by the state; , All equipment is fujniahed by the state and a member la entirely without expense. ^" N a t i o n a l G u a r d I s A d j u n c t o f A r m y Sir John died January 17,1912, When an examination was made of his private papers there was found a draft of another codicil to his will bearing date of October 26, 1000, bequeathing to Lady Sackville a much smaller sum of money than is specified in the codicil offered in court by the titled woman's counsel. It is in the hope that Sir John executed the 1900 Codicil at a date subsequent to the Sacfevi}le codicil and that it can be brought to light that the big reward is offered. ' As the story ls told. Sir John had the habit of slipping Important papers between the leaves of the lawbooks in his library shelves, and It is also said that in his bachelor lack of order in his private apartments he sometimes secreted things in the frames of old paintings.

Sir John came, to know the present Lady Sackville Is a story in itself, and it forms a part of the story of bachelor Lord'Sackville'* romance as well as of Sir John's own lucky rise to |ame and fortune through an inclorder, Lord Sackville's romance comes first. Back in the fifties §ir Lionel Sackville-West, a son of Earl De L a Warr, was sent to Spain as a secretary of legation. He was then twenty-three years old. One night he visited a music hall and there met Pepita Duran, one of the reigning dancing beauties at the Spanish capital. When the young diplomat was transferred to Berlin the dancer accompanied hinv and be did not hesitate to in. trodtfce her as his wife. Children Bom to Couple. Children were born to them—a son and several daughters—and in the registry of births the mother's name was given as Mme Josephine de Ortega and tbe father's at unknown. Upon his appointment to Paris Sir Lionel established a home for his famiiy at Arachon, where he was known as Count West and the woman as the countess. One of the daughters of this union was Victoria Josephine, another Flora, and the son bore the name of Ernest Henri Jean Baptiste. Pepita Duran, the former dancer, otherwise "Countess West," died in March, 1877, and there appeared in the Paris papers of the time the following: "Lionel de Sackviile-West, first secretary of the British embassy in Paris, and minister plenipotentiary par interim, begs his friends and acquaintances to be present at one ot the masses held in the Church of Notre Dame on August 2\ for the repose of the soul of Josephine, Countess de Sackvllle-West, his wife." This announcement made the romance public. It surprised the old families of Great Britain and immediately raised a question as to the status of the children. The countess of Derby, Sir Lionel's sister, threw the weight of her social influence on the side of the daughters and this established them. John Scott's Part In the Romance. It was at this time that John Scott came to know the elder daughter, Victoria Josephine, who was then ten years old. He knew her only as a child romping about the diplomat's suburban villa, but his fondness for her continued throughout all the years which followed, during which he became Immensely wealthy. From Paris Sir Lionel was sent first to Argentina, then to Spain, and in 1*31 to Washington as British minister. The dancers daughters accompanied him, and Victoria Josephine, Just turning into womanhood; became the chatelaine of the embassy and a leader in Washington society. Seven years thereafter, by the death of his brother, Sir Lionel succeeded to the title of Lord Sackville, and it was about the B a m e time that he, by writing a letter, ad vising a former British subject living in this country how to vote In the" Cleveland-Harrison campaign, had his passports returned to him by President Cleveland, and he returned to Knole Park, Kent, England, discredited. In tbe mean time Victoria Josephine had married her cousin, Lionel Edward Sacjcvllie-West, and had gone to live on the Kent estate. Son Demanded Recognition. Now began a fight on the part of Lord Sackville's son, Henri, to establish the legitimacy of his birth with the view to succeeding to the title and estates. The young man, who had been educated in Paris and afterward Bent to South Africa by bis father, had returned to England after the Boer war and demanded from his father full recognition as his heir. This was denied. The son, therefore, set out to establish the proof of his father's admission that he had married his mother, and Lord Sackville was forced to come into the open with a statement that while he had never married he would have made the dancer his wife bad she not been the wife of her dancing teacher. After the first hearing in the case and before final decision was made Lord Sackville, following an injury from a fall while entertaining Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont and some other American guests, died, and his nephew, the husband of Victoria Josephine, succeeded to the title and estates. Move to Secure Estates. The new Lord Sackville made the next move. He brought suit to have himself formally acknowledged as tho heir to the.estates and title. In fighting this proceeding Henri sought once more to prove that he was the legitimate son of Sackville, the establishment of which claim would also prove the legitimacy of his sister, wife of the new lord of the estates. The marriage records of the Church of San Milan, Madrid, were finally examined and the entry there found proving that the mother oi^Lork Sack* villa's children had been the wife of the dancing master,, although there had been an effort to erase the names. The final decision of Sir John Bigham, president ot the probate court, denied the claims and settled the case in favor of Lord Sackville. It was the belief entertained" by Sir John Murray Scott that his little girl friend of Paris days might live, to face some serious trouble, growing out of her parentage, that prompted Aim to remember her in h|s *ttl» .< Three of the codicils of his will were executed shortly before the court's decision against the claims of Lady Sackville's brother. Had the claims been established she and her husband would have been dispossessed from the estates', which have an annual Income of more than $100,000. Sir John's Good Fortune. Sir John's life story also read like a romance. He was the son of an English doctor, who, while crossing the channel to France was called to the bedside of Lady Wallace, who was traveling with her husband, Sir Richard Wallace. In gratitude for this professional service, which restored her to health, the doctor's son waa engaged as secretary to the Wallaces and adopted. Sir John's parish home was the famous chateau and gardens of Bagatelle, which ls valued at close upon $2,000,- 000. The third Marquis of Hertford, the "Lord Steyne" of Thackeray's "Vanity Fair," became the owner of the cha^ teau and from him it passed to the fourth Marquis and later to 8ir Richard Wallace. Through the will of Lady Wallace it passed into the possession of Sir John, who also received a bequest in cash of $3,500,000. If the search for the missing codicil to Sir John's will, which is being made in three countries, fails to bring them to light, a considerable portion of the great estate will go to Lady Sackville. SHARP BATTLE IN ARKANSAS Charge and Countercharge at Prairie Grove Is Graphically Related by Veteran of Chicago, A 1 Western fighting was not so dramatically set forth at the time of the war as were the campaigns of the east, but its picturesqueness is unquestionable. It has3 a special claim on Chicago's interest because many of the men who fought in the army of the frontier are now living in Chicago. One of these, George Rettig, who lives at 2105 Leland avenue, tells of his experiences at Prairie Grove in the Arkansas-Missouri campaign of 1862. , The story 1B as follows: "After the battle of Rhea's Mills we came down to the place known as Prairie Grove. Here our position was on high ground on the concave side of a bend made by the valley of a little stream. Beyond the creek and the level land that bordered it was another rise of ground, on which the Confederates had their battery hidden in the woods. "The Third Wisconsin cavalry, my regiment, was at the right, and the Twentieth Wisconsin infantry was at the center. This regiment started out first Down the hill they went, with the fire of the rebel battery converged on them, and across the level ground and up the other hill they made their way, climbing a fence to reach the wooded ground. They reached the guns and a captain had^ planted a flag on the battery when the whole Hue of Confederate infantry, which had been reserved for this purpose, rose up and threw the Wisconsin men back down the hill. More than 100 of our men were left hanging on the fence or dying in the.woods. "Then the secesh came out in turn. They aimed for a point half way between my regiment and the Twentieth Wisconsin. Here Rapp's Indiana battery was set up. The Confederates tried to charge the battery, and every time they were driven back by a rain ORATORICAL FLIGHT WON OUT Irishman's Somewhat Enigmatical Speech Secured for Railroad Desired Right of Way. At a dinner given recently in Chicago Eugene H . Garnett told the following story: "There was recently Introduced In New York a bill authorizing a railroad company to extend its right ot way through a certan town. In the legislature was a member who at all times considered it his duty to fight every measure of which a'corporation was the first beneficiary. He feared that the encroachment of the vested interests upon the public and private domain would continue until a single great corporation should gather in all the wealth of the world, and own the whole population of the globe, body and soul. "These sentiments he announced in his philippic against the bill. In, closing he urget^he members to take a determined stand against the railroads, Invaders of peace, destroyers of comfort. "Satisfied with the applause that greeted his efforts he sat down. An Irish member arose and said: T h e substance of the honorable gentleman's remarks is that if we give the railroad the right of way it will run over our prostrate forms. Now, I suggest that we all step one side and let the railroad run on the sod. It is much better to develop the country, to get a free ride once in a while on the sly, than it is to wake up some fine morning, and find -the grading gangs on our backs, running main lines down our spinal columns, using our ribs for side tracks.' The bill passed.** One Had a Headache. This storyv ought to amuse A. M . Willard, who painted a celebrated picture called "The Spirit of '76." It was told by an artist who bad just employed a youth of about eighteen to do odd jobs around his studio. "Say, mister," said the new boy, "I seen a great picture onct Gee! but ft was fine.

The Confederates spread for a moment and then came back again to the charge. They were piled five and six high in front of the guns before they were ordered back to their lines. "Evening came, and there was no more fighting, and in the morning when we expected to be- attacked we found that the enemy had left. So we went down and took Van Buren and Fort Smith. There was not much trouble there. We came down from the high ground into the city after an engagement with some Texas rang* ers, and we found the place deserted by the men. The secesh were on the other side of the river with a battery and they shot canister and grape across the water and up the streets. We put a Union flag on the courthouse, and they shelled it, but their aim was> not good, and the flag stayed. W i t h all their firing they did not hit one man of us, but they Jdid kill several Hogs and one woman. seen "What was the name of it?" asked the artist. The art critic knitted his brows.

Loie Petrie came to me from England, bearing testimonials from several of London's foremost physicians regarding her ability as a graduate nurse. I availed myself of her services in my private hospital, and she justified the good impression she made upon me at our first interview. She was clever, painstaking and absolutely trustworthy, and I learned to rely upon her in the handling of the 'most dinlcult cases. Her health, however, was not all tbat it should have been, and two months after her engagement she was taken i l l with a form of nervous malady. I treated her successfully, and she acknowledged that, as I suspected, she had suffered from the ailment formerly, and this was a second attack ef the old trouble. It was then that she related to me a rather singular story, which I have endeavored to set down as follows, as nearly as possible ln her own words: Early in the winter of last year, when living in London, I was sent to nurse a patient by the name of Leonora Trefusis. She was a girl of nineteen, and the victim of nerve distress In an acute form. The illness was brought on by an unfortunate love affair. Two years before she had been engaged to a Captain Gifford of the British army. Then the news reached Leonora that her lover had been killed during an encounter with tribesmen in India. His body was never recovered, and the blow completely prostrated the young girl. The nervous breakdown which required my services took place. I got her to confide her sorrows to me, and she often spoke of Captain Gifford and of therlove she still bore him. By and by Leonora began to get well, and soon afterward, to my astonishment, I heard of her engagement to Dr. Herslet, one of the cleverest surgeons in Harley street. I had nursed patients for Dr. Herslet, and never imagined that he was a marrying man. He was hard and dry in appearance, not more than thirty-five, but looking considerably older. Herslet was a brain specialist, and no man living had studied the anatomy of the brain more thoroughly. A l l that modern science knew he had acquired. I respected Herslet, but at the same time I feared him, for he was a silent, cold sort of individual whose manner repelled one. When he became engaged to Leonora I felt sorry for the girl. Once I ventured to speak to my patient on the subject. "Do you really love this man whom you the going to marry?" I asked. She looked at me sadly and shook her head. "I do not," she said slowly. "I am going to marry Dr. Herslet simply because my father wishes .it. Yet he knows that all my love Is g!ven\to the man who lies in an unknown grave. Dr. Herslet understands that if such an impossible thing happened as that Dick Gifford should come back I could not marry him. Dick will never come back, of course, and I shall be married to Dr. Herslet in two months from now. You will stay with me until the wedding is over, will you not, nurse?" I readily promised, for I had grown to love the girl well. On a certain day not long after this conversation I happened to be alone, when the door of the room/1 was in opened and Dr. Herslet came in. "I have a very critical case In my hospital just now, nurse," said he. "I want your assistance, as the case is one of life or death. You must leave Miss Trefusis tomorrow and come to me. "I cannot," I replied, "Leonora is better, but she is still dependent on nie." "Nevertheless," he returned coldly, "you will come to my house tomorrow evening. The operation will take place on the following morning. I anv going to trephine. If I am not successful, the patient will go mad; trephining is the only chance for him. ^ o u will have to leave me, nurse," she said. "I feel terribly' sad at the thought of losing #ou, hut Dr. Herslet is insistent and must have his way. When he b e e v e s emphatic I have to obey him. But I want you to come to my room; I wish to show you something you have never yet seen—Captain Gilford's photograph." I follbwed her to her room and she handed me the photograph of a remarkably fine-looking, pleasant-faced man* "It Is a good face," I said, after I had examined the picture,/'the countenance ot a b r a v e m a n , / r a m sorry for you, Leonora." / Toward the evening of the next day I went to Dr./Herslet's hospital, which was nex^cfoor to his own house. Having been^taken to my room.and given some refreshment, a servant ik me if I wished tb see my patient. I assented, and In my professional cap and uniform followed the girl to the d c o r ^ t f r o o m on ttfe first floor. I knocked, a voice bade me enter, and I stepped Inside. A & t i man %ad; Hsen to receive me; a* lamp1 stood on tae tatio*tehlM him; his face and figure were in the shadow. He came forward and shook hands. "Pray sit down, nurse," he said. "Has Dr. Herslet told you the nature of the operation?" "Yes," I replied. "He says it is a serious one." "Exactly. Well, a couple of years ago I received a severe blow on the head and Dr. Herslet believes there is pressure on a certain portion of the brain. Since the time of the accident I have suffered from epileptic fits. To save myself from the horrors of a lunatic asylum I prefer to take the chance of the surgeon's knife. I returned home a fortnight ago. When with my regiment I received the blow which I have just mentioned. I was Supposed to be dead, but was taken prisoner instead. I have much to live for, should the operation prove successful. If not, there are certain friends whom I would just as soon have believe that I perished in India. But I must not talk too much as the slightest excitement brings on a fit. Here is the key of my portmanteau. Perhaps, nurse, you will go to my room and unpack some of my things." I took the key and went into his bedroom, which adjoined the sitting room. A large portmanteau stood by the door. I unlocked it and began to put away my patient's clothes. At the bottom of the portmanteau I found a pile of papers on top of which lay a photograph. I took the photograph up, and the well-known face of my late patient, Leonora Trefusis, was before me! My mind reverted to the man I had just left. Surely, as he turned from out the shadow and the lamplight fell upon his features, I had noticed something familiar about that frank, open face. Where had I seen it before? Like a flash of truth, or what seemed to be the truth, became clear. The man I was about to nurse had only just returned from India, where he had been wounded and taken prisoner. Was it possible that I had found Leonora's lost lover? But I must make sure; I must not be rash. I returned to the sitting room. "I have unpacked your things," I said to the patient. "By the way, would you mind letting me know your name. "My name is Captain Gifford," was the reply. I left the room without speaking further. It was nearly 10 o'clock, but I resolved to.go straight to Leonora and tell her "what, I had discovered. I dressed hurriedly and was descending the stairs when the front door opened and Dr. Herslet entered. "Have you seen the patient, nurse?" he asked. "Yes," I answered. "I have unpacked his things. I am going out to see Miss Trefusis; I have some important news for her." m "I am afraid I cannot spare you now," he said. "The operation is to be performed early in the morning and I want to talk the case over with you. Come Into my consulting room." I followed him down the hall and entered tbe consulting room. "Now, nurse," he said, "what do you mean, by saying you have news for Miss Trefusis?" "Do you not intend to marry her in about six weeks?'' I asked. "Certainly; but what has your news to do with that?" "Everything. You engaged yourself to marry Leonora on a condition. She promised to wed you only because she believed her old lover to be dead." "Which he is. I did say to her that if such a thing should happen as that the dead should return to life, I should in honor give her up. But I was4 never sufficiently interested to even ask the name of the gentleman ; I preferred to avoid the subject." "You can scarcely avoid it now," I said. Dr. Herslet, Leonora's old lover exists; he is alive and in this house now. His name is Captain Gifford. Go to Leonora, if you do not believe me, and ask what her lover's not sacrifice either love or ambition. ^The operation,, will be postponed. I will gives&ny patient excellent reasons for the delay, f'shall keep, him, here an<i\operate, after;)ny marriage^has taken7 place. Nowj perhapB, you understand the strength of my, position. You can, if you wish it, return to Leonora and stay.with herointil after the marriage, or you can defy me." "You mean t h a t ! am to go back to Leonora and not tell her what I have discovered?" "Exactly; but you can please yourself." "What is the alternative?" "If you do not promise to obey me, I shall seal your lips. How I will do so is my secret. You cannot leave this house tonight. Tomorrow morning I will speak to you again. Now you must go to your room." He took me by the arm and led me out of the consulting-room. My brain was in a whirl and I was incapable of resistance. I went up the stairs, en 1 will arrange the matter with Mlss^name was. Ask her to show you his Trefusis." ^That evening Lenbra came to me. ^photograph. The photograph is that of the man upstairs, your patient." Dr. Herslet's cold eyes gazed at me steadily. The man's nerves must have been made of steel, for he never flinched, "I'WHl investigate your story," he said. "In the meantime, I do not intend to allow yon to see Leonora tonight. While I am absent you shall remain here." Without waiting for a reply, he left the room, and locked the door after him. At the end of an hour he returned. His face was as cold and Impassive as ever. "I have verified the truth of your tale,"/he said. "I visited Miss Trefusis, and for the first time since our engagement I alluded to her old lover. She wept. I asked his name and particulars about him and was shown his photograph. My rival lives; he is upstairs. Tomorrow I am to perform a critical operation upon blm. Think what you have put into my power. A swerve of the knife means death. But I have no Intention of committing murder. I ebalf operate upon' Captain tered my room and sa^down to think small wound on your head by making matters over. Knowing Herslet as I did, I saw that it would be useless to try to leave the house that night. Perhaps I could manage it in the morning. He had said the operation was to be postponed, ana there m yet be time for. me to save Leonora.1 Overcome with excitement and em tion, I lay back in my chair, and fell into a deep sleep. I awoke suddenly and opened my eyes to see Dr. Herslet standing before me. I tried to rise, but was unable to move. The surgeon bent over me, one hand on my shoulder, the other holding something to my mouth and nostrils. The faint, sweet smell of chloroform was in the air. Herslet's cruel eyes were gazing into mine. "You are in my power," he said; "I am sealing your lips." As he spoke I ceased to struggle and my senses4 left me. When I awoke again It was morning and I was lying on the floor with my head against a sharp corner of the bedstead. I felt queer and heavy and there was a dull pain in my temples. Suddenly the door opened and a servant entered. "What is the matter?" she cried. "What has happened?" I made an effort to speak, but not a word would come, only a gurgling sometime and tell Miss Trefusfgwhat you had fpund out, 1 made up my mind to act. I waited until you had dropped asleep, then I administered an anaesthetic. The rest was easy. With a suitable instrument I made a small opening through the bone at the top of your temple, just over the center which controls the power of speech. Having made the entrance I introduced a probe and broke up that portion of the brain tissue. The external opening is scarcely visible.. You are supposed to be suffering from cerebral hemorrhage. You may later on rise from your bed, but you cannot speak, nor can you control your brain sufficiently to write anything, even with your left hand. Thus you are as powerless to convey the information you know to Leonora Trefusis as if you were dead. Having performed the operation, I placed you with your head beside the sharp corner of the jed, and upon it smeared a little blood. You may call attention to the signs to the nurse, but she has been told that the wound was caused by your fall." He bowed to me mockingly and left the room. I lay perfectly motionless i n my bed. I knew that I was doomed, chained as in iron fetters; I, in my first youth, was doomed to the silence of the grave. Dr. Herslet would probably marry Leonora; Captain Gifford would probably die. Such thoughts, sweeping by in grim procession, tortured me day and night. At last, about a week after my seizure, Leonora came to see me, accompanied by Dr. Herslet. "She looks so anxious and pathetic," said Miss Trefusis. "Watch her eyes, Paul; they seem as though full of a question, She is longing to tell us something. Perhaps she can write it." "Try her," said Dr. Herslet, producing a pencil and sheet of paper. Leonora placed the pencil in my hand. I glanced at her and made a frantic effort, but in vain. My brain directed the words, but the hand would not obey. I cpuld only effect a few straggling lines on the paper. r "It is of no use; she cannot," said the surgeon. "It tortures her to try." Leonora bent over and kissed me, " i f you do not: o b e y m e , I o t a l l *eal y p u r l i p a success o | ^ c l i an operation ,wj& greatly enhance my reputation. ; will noise in my throat. I tried to struggle to my feet, but my right side, arm and leg were powerless. I sank back with a moan. As I did so I noticed a little blood on the corner of the bed against which I had evidently fallen. The girl rushed out and returned in a few moments with Dr. Herslet. He looked at me keenly. "This is dreadful," I heard him murmur. He raised my paralyzed arm and let it fall again. "How did tbis happen, nurse Petre?" he asked. Again I tried to speak; my lips moved, but no sound escaped them. "Ring for Nurse Martha," said the doctor, "and get her into *bed. It is apoplexy. I will be back shortly." I was put to bed, and soon Dr. Herslet returned with another doctor. They both examined me carefully. — "It is a clear case, Herslet," said the other doctor. ''Hemorrhage from tbe left middle cerebral, with hemiplegia and aphasia. Very sad Indeed. The mind is fully conscious but all power of speech is lost Broca's convolution is evidently involved." "Can you raise your right arm?" he queried, bending over me. I shook my head in reply, "You see she understands what Is said to her," he added, looking at Dr. Herslet The two physicians left the room, but soon Dr. Herslet returned and sent the nurse away. "Well," said he, bending over me, "you can see now how wrong you were to defy me. I told you I would seat your lips If necessary, and they are sealed. X am going to marry Miss Trefusis, and so I have taken steps to insure your silence. It is possible that you may never be able to speak, again. With my knowledge of the Gifford and I nope to be successful; ^localization of motor centers, of'the I will not throw the case away, for the: urate, it was easy for me to do what 1 have done. Whien I saw that yn*i were determined to leave the houses then left the room, her eyes wet with tears. Some more weeks went by; there was no change in my condition. A certain morning dawned and 1 awoke feeling strangely better. I could not account for my sensations, but I felt lighter and less heavylimbed. I noticed, too, that I could move my arm—the paralysis was evidently passing away. Once again I made an effort to speak, but not a word would come. Still, the paralysis of the arm and side was lese marked. When the nurse entered the room I longed to say to her, "I am better," but I think my eyes must have told her something for she leaned over me cheerily and said: "Well, my dear, you are looking more like yourself/' I raised my arm about an inch in order to draw her attention to it. "Why. that is a splendid improvement1" she said. "I must tell Dr. Harslet" She stood at the side of the bed as if considering. "I am uncertain whether I ought tb trouble him today," she said.* "This in his wedding day. But, nurse, what a strange expression you have in your face. You have got such curious eyes—I never before saw human eyes express so much. I do not believe that you like the idea of this wedding. Well, Miss Trefusis is a beautiful young lady: but then, Dr. Herslet is so clever, the cleverest surgeon of his day. Of course he is older, but " She was interrupted by a knock at the door and went to open i t 1 heard her utter an exclamation; she then cams back quickly to my side. "What do you think has happened?" she said. "You are highly honored. There is no less a person standing outside than: Miss Trefusis herself— the bride-to-be. 8hall I show her in?" M y eyes spoke, my hand beckoned, and Leonpra entered. She was in her bridal dress. Her beauty was extraordinary and startling, but her sweet face was ghastly pale and her dark eyes were full of an uncontrollable sadness. I motioned to Nurse Martha to leave us alone. Leonora came up close to me. "I had hoped that you might be better," she said, bending; over me. "I could not go away without seeing you and bidding you good-bye. Yes, I am going to the church now to be married. Ah, nurse, dear nurse, poor Dick never came back. I shall be Mrs. Herslet within an hour." I motioned with my hand and said with my eyes: "Stay with me a little while. Mine is a dreadful fate—comfort me with your presence just for a few minutes." She appeared to read my thoughts, for wkhout a word she sat' down near rae. Presently she took my hand and covered it with her kisses. Some of her tears dropped upon it. As she sat so, and the quick moments passed, and I knew that in a very short time her fate would be irrevocably sealed, a frantic determination awoke within me. If no words could arise to my lips, at least I could direct my thoughts to the Providence above. I began to pray fiercely, despairingly. I began to plead with Heaven to give me back the gift of speech, If it could be on]y for a short time, a few fleeting moments, what might I not accomplish? If I could but save her by a few whispered sounds, even if the effort cost my life, I would gladly pay the price. As my spirit writhed within me Leonora watched me curiously, and then leaned forward and touched me. "What is it, dear?" she asked. "Your eyes seem to speak, surely there is something that is troubling you. Oh, nurse, nurse, make an effort. Surely you can move that silent tongue if you try hard. I feel sure there is something I must know, something you want to tell me." My heart was beating wilflly, and I moved my partially paralyzed arm to and fro. It seemed as though my spirit must burst its bonds and overcome the weakness of the flesh. My lips trembled with one final, gigantic effort; they writhed as in a spasm, and a guttural noise issued from my throat. Suddenly the blood came surging to my temples; 1 found that the long-lost speech had returned! "Leonora!" I whispered faintly. "Good Heavens! she speaks, she speaks," cried the girl. She fell upon her knees by the bed with clasped hands. "Dear, dearest, tell me what is in your heart." I knew that my words must be few. I had to select them before they were uttered. "Leonora, listen," I'said. "Do not marry Dr. Herslet. Captain Gifford is a patient in this- house; he is not dead—he,came back—I discovered his identity; Dr. Herslet tried to silence me, to keep you in ignorance. Do not marry that bad man, dear." I could say no more; my lips quivered and were still. My brain reeled, the room became dark and I slipped away into blank unconsciousness. I^was ^ery i l l afterward and knew nothing more for a long time. When I came to myself Leonora told me the story of the next few days. Acting on advice, she went to seek Captain Gifford, and found him. She said little or nothing about that interview, nor did I question her. Dr. Herslet returned to the house about half an hour after I had recovered my power of speech. Leonora herself met him and told him what h^d happened. He looked quietly at her and his face grew white; he went out of the house, never to return. Never again did he come back to Harley street; his career in England was ended, and the reason of his strange disappearance was not made public as we kept the secret to ourselves. Another great surgeon performed the operation on Captain Gifford, who recovered completely, and Leonora became his'wife. As for me, I grew to have a horror of my surroundings; everything in London seemed io remind me of the terrible period through which I had passed. When I had regained my strength I resolved to try what change of climate and country would do for me, and I came to New York.. Perhaps I started to work a little too soon, but now, thanks to your care, Dr. Halifax, I feel that I am on the road to complete recovery. The silence is over forever, fhank Heaven, and the memory of that frightful experience is fast assuming the outlines of some fantastic dream. Headmasters' Replies. Head Master Peabody of Groton was noted for bis wit. A n illiterate mother with pronounced social aspirations once wrote him saying that she would like to "inter" her son as a scholar at Groton. What she particularly insisted upon knowing, however, before she "interred'* darling Harold, was the exact social standing of tbe parents of the boys with whom Harold would be thrown in contact Headmaster Peabody thus replied: "Dear Madam: Witb reference to interring your son at Groton 1 wish to say tbat I ehould be glad to undertake the task. If your son behaves himself well no questions will be asked about his parentage." When the same mother received Harold's quarterly deportment report she sent it back, demanding to know what "generally good" meant. M r . Peabody replied: "According to Webster's Unabridged 'generally' has the significance of 'not particularly. i SUICIDAL INSANITY '"What is the cause of the terrible l a - crease in the crop of suicides?* waa the psychological problem propounded by one of Pittszurg's notable scientific men in the'presence of a reporter for the Pittsburg Dispatch. "I do not refer especially to Pittsburg," toe continued, "for this species of insanity seems to be -general in America. aud in all other countries. It is a ghastly record, this self-destruction- by bullet, by deadly drugs, by the "knife, the rope, by gas, by drowning, by almost every means conceivable, and some nearly inconceivable." "Many of the suicides are traceable to causeB that are really trivial, but those are mostly confined to weosen and for the most part, I think the records will show, to young women ef the) shallower sort, who have been disappointed in what they imagine Itrve* Sometimes it is domestic difficulty, and I dare say that nine-tenths ef tho cases of this sort are realty due t o the impossibility of the family t o make the social show they desire. This affects the wife and mother poignantly, probably because of the presence of daughters who wish to dress more showily than tbe pufse ot the father will permit. Tbe father also is fond of his children and i n attempting to give them all that hia purse will allow he often gives more, gets deeper and deeper into pecuniary difficulty, and concludes that the easiest way out is the way that will end all for him, not stopping to consider that the sensible way would be to live well within his means no matter what the demands on his income. "Nearly always this Is the result of wishing to live like other people live whose incomes are larger. Jt is a wrong, Billy view of life, and to seme extent it ia peculiarly an American view. The show that mere money w i l l give induces a sort of erase to make the same sort cf show that somebody else's money gives> and where there is much more money. I have here ai clipping of an interview with- Frederic .Harrison of world-wide reputattaa as a publicist, and it is so amen to the point that I hope lt can be reproduced in the Dispatch. The comment ot }fLr. Harrison was called out by tbesuicide of a young stockbroker, M r . Coleman, whose income was about $3,000, but who lived to the Kmtt of about $6,000. He became involved in debt and paid his debts by putting a bullet in his brain. Here ia the opmr ment: "However terrible the cost, people must be in the swim. Each man today in England copies the senseless extravagance of his richer neighbor. They follow like sheep one after the other, and no one has the courage of his convictions.'4* "The case of Mr. Coleman Is a finger post on the road along which we are traveling today. "The taste for Luxury has increased! beyond all bounds, spreading from thet upper classes, who started i t to the middle classes, who were free from it 20 years ago. "People cannot keep quiet now. They can's be alone, they can't *ead„ they can't stay at home. Formerly people went to the theater to enjoy the play. Now, the play is net enough. They must have sapper at an expensive restuarant after the theater. "And lt is not because they really desire these luxuries that they Indulge/ in them. It is something even more poisonous to public life than mere idle extravagance. "It is a want of mental balance. The middle-class family has, lost the power of estimating things en their own merits.

He gave Fentress a hopeless beaten look. "You're my witness that first and last I've no part ln this!" The colonel, shrugged his shoulders. Murrell reached out a hand and rested it on Ware's ann. "Keep your wits, Tom, and within a week people will have forgotten all about Norton and your sister. I am going to give them something else to worry over," Ware went from the cabin. "Look here, how about the boy— are you ready for him if I can get my hands on him! I'll send him either up or down the river and place him in safe keeping where you can get him at any time you want." "This must be done without violence, John!" stipulated Fentress. "Certainly, I understand. Which shall it be^—up or down river?" "Could you take care of him for me below, at Natchez?" inquired Fentress. As wett there as anywhere." Good!" said Fentress, and took his leave. Tnre£-quarters | f ati hour slipped by, then, piercing the silence, Murrell heard a ^ h r l ^ w ^ twice retreated; he saw Bess go down to the landing .again. A half-hour elapsed and a man issued from the scattering growth * of hushes that screened the shore. The newcomer crossed tho clearing and entered the cabin. He was a young fellow of twenty-four or five, whose bronzed face wore a reckless expression. }'Well,, captain, what's doing?" tie asked. "If anything's to be done, now is the time, Hues, What have you to r e & o r t r 4 * ''Well, I've seen the council of each Clan division. They are ripe to start th|s thing off." " : Murrell gave him a moment of moody regard. ''Twice already I've named the day and hour, but now I'm going to put it through!" He set his teeth and thrust out his jaw. ' ^ "Captain, you're tne greatest fellow in America! inside of a week men who have never been within five hundred; miles of you will be asking of each other who John Murrell 18!" Murrell had expected to part with Hues then and there and for all time, but Hues possessed qualities which might still be of use.

Why, captain, who's talking of quitting the country?" "You speak as though you were fool enough to think the niggers would accomplish something!" said Murrell coolly, "There will be confusion at first, but there are enough white men in the southwest to handle a heap better organized insurrection than we'll be able to set going. Our fellows will have to use their heads as well as their hands or they are likely to help the nigger swallow his medicine. I look for nothing else than considerable of a shake-up along the Mississippi . . x what with lynchers and regulators^ man will have to show a clean bl|i of health to be allowed to live, no matter what his color—-Just being white won't help him any!" "No, you're right, it won't!" and again Hues gave way to easy laughter. "When you've done your work you strike south as I tell you and join me. I'm going to keep New Orleans for myself—it's my ambition to de? et;oy the city Old Hickory saved!" "And then it's change your name and strike out for Texas with what you've picked up!" "No, lt isn't! I'll have my choice of men—a river full of ships. Look here, there's South America, or some of those islands in the gulf with a black-and-tan population and a few white mongrels holding on to civilization by their eve-teeth; what's to hinder our setting up shop for ourselves? Two or three hundred Americans could walk off with an island like Haytl, for instance—and it's bleck with niggers. What we'd done here would he just so much capital down there. We'd make it a stamping- ground for the Clan! In the next two years we could bring in a couple ot thousand Americans and then we'd, be ready to, take over their government, Whether they liked it or not, and run it at a profit. We'd put the niggers back in ^slavery where they belong, and set them at work raising sugar and tobacco tor their own boss* es. Man, it's the richest land ln the world, I tell you—and the mountains are full of gold!" Hues had kindled with a ready enthusiasm while Murrell was speaking. "That sounds right, captain—we*d have a country and a flag of our own —and I look at those free niggers as just so much boot!" "I shall take only nicked men with me*—1 can't give ship room to any ottrer-^but i want you. You'll Jcfin nie, in New Orleans?" said Mu>reil- "When do you start south T~ asked Hues quickly. "Inside of two days. I've got seme private business to BetUe before I leave. I'll hang round here until that's attended to." CHAPTEft XVIK The Judge Extends His Credit. That afternoon Judge Price walked out to Belle Plain. Solomon Mahaffy had known that this was a civility Betty Malroy could by no means escape. He had been conscious of the judge's purpose from the moment i t existed in the germ state, and he had striven to divert him, but his striving had been in vain, for though the judge valued Mr. Mahaffy because of certain sterling qualities which he professed to discern beneath the hard crust that made up the external man, he was not disposed to accept him aa his mentor in nice matters of taste and gentlemanly feeling. He ow,ed it to himself personally to tender his sympathy. Miss Malroy must have heard something ot the honorable part he had played; surely she could not be in ignorance of the fact that the lawless element, dreading his further activities, had threatened him. She must know, too, about that reward of five thousand dollars. Certainly her grief could not blind her to the fact that he had met the situation with a largeness of public spirit that was an impressive lesson to the entire community. These were all points over which be and Mahaffy had wrangled, and he felt that his friend, in seeking to keep him away from Belle Plain, was standing squarely l n his light. He really could not understand Solomon or his objections. He pointed out that Norton had probably left a will —no one knew yet—probably his estate would go to his intended wife— what more UKely? He understood Norton had cousins somewhere i n middle Tennessee—there was the attractive possibility of extended litigation. Miss Malroy needed a strong, clear brain to guide ber past those difficulties his agile fancy assembled in her path. He beamed on his friend with a wide sunny smile. "You mean she needs a lawyer, Price?" insinuated Mahaffy. "That slap at me, Solomon, Is unworthy of you. Just name some one, will you, who has shown an interest comparable to mine? I may say I have devoted my entire energy to her affairs, and with disinterestedness. 1 have made myself felt. Will you mention who else these cutthroats have tried to browbeat and frighten? They know that my theories and conclusions are a menace to thorn! I got 'em in a panic, sir—presently some fellow will lose his nerve and light jont for the tall timber—and Jt will be just Judge Slocum Price who's done the trick—no one else!" "Are you looking for some one to take a pot shot at you?" inquired Mahaffy, sourly. "Your remark uncovers my rondest hope, Solomon—I'd give five years of my life Just to be shot at—that would round out the episode of the letter nicely"; again the judge beamed on Mahaffy with that wide and sunny, smile of his. "Why don't you let the boy go alone, Price?" suggested Mahaffy. He lacked that sense of sublime confidence in the judge's tact and discretion of which the judge, himself, entertained never a doubt "I shall not obtrude myself, Solomon; I shall merely walk out to Belle Plain and leave a civil message. I lpiow what's due Miss Malroy. In Ber bereaved stater-she has sustained no ordinary loss, and In no ordinary fashion. She has been the center'of a striking and profoundly moving tragedy! I would give a good deal to know if my late client left a will—" "You might ask her," said Mahaffy cynically. "Nothing like going to headquarters for the news!" "Solomon, Solomon, give me credit for common sense—go further, and give me credit for common decency! Don't let us forget that ever since we came here she has manifested a charmingly hospitable spirit where we are concernedJ" "Wouldn't charity hit nearer the mark, Price?"

After hearing both sides of the question, she decided proper punishment for the combatants, and told them to remain in their seats after the others had gone home.

Lady Augusta Gregory, the able and ardent apostle of the modern Irish movement, is fond of telling the following real Irish story: "It was the wedding day of Pat and Bridget, and they were having a church wedding. It was a grand affair. Pat was dressed with patent leather shoes, white vest and flaming tie, Bridget shone attractively in many colors. The ceremony was pver, and the happy pair walked down the aisle, out into the street, where a great crowd greeted them with delight. "Ottce seated within the cab, Bridget leaned^' over to Pat and said, in a-loud whisper, 'Den, Pat, i f we could only have stooji «m the sidewalk and watch, ed ourselves pass, wouldn't it have been hivinV COLONEL ANNOUNCES P L A N K S F O R N E W LIST: O F Leader of New Movement in Record Speech Calls for Short Ballot, Short Hours, Age Pensions, Woman's Suffrage and Other Reforms.

The delegates,listened to his speech with the understanding that they must either adopt a platform substantially in consonance w i t h h i s views or look elsewhere for a nominee for the presidency;j •> The convention was called to order for Tuesday's session at 12:30, the delegates having been slow to arrive. Chairman Beveridge introduced Col. Roosevelt, and when cheering had ceased he immediately began his two-hour declaration of principles. These are the conspicuous points in the Roosevelt program: Recall of judicial decisions, as first advocated by Col. Roosevelt in the spring campaign, and for which he was subjected to wide criticism. Col. Roosevelt now advocates its extension to apply to federal as well as state courts. He favors the establishment of machinery to make easier of ameno> ment both the national and state constitutions, especially. with the view of prompt action on certain judicial decisions. Use of the government to assist workmen to become part owners of the business in which they are employed. The government system should be shaped so that "the public servant, when he cannot conscientiously carry out the wishes of the people, shall at their desire leave his office and not misrepresent them i n office." Would Alter System of Government. Col. Roosevelt did not suggest the method by "which he would bring this abbtlt, and there was much speculation as to whether he had in mind a fundamental change in the American system of government In some quarters it was interpreted as a declaration in favor of extension of the recall to include legislative, executive and judicial officers of the national government, from the president down. Control of the trusts through retention of the Sherman anti-trust law and establishment of an interstate industrial commission to regulate corporations as the interstate commerce commission regulates railroads. Corporations which come voluntarily under this commission and Obey its orders to be immune from prosecution under the Sherman law. Those which fail to do so to he subject-to prosecution, and if the prosecution is successful, thorough dlsmembeftpenu the constituent parts not to be allowed to do business save under conditions laid down by the industrial commission. Conditions determining monopoly prices to be controlled where these concerns deal with the necessaries of life. Adoption of a number of measures to secure "social and industrial justice to the wage workers." Plan for industrial Justice. Included in the list are establishment by law immediately of minimum wage scales for- women, minimum wage commissions to-fix standards of wages for all workers, bid age pensions, a living wage, which Col. Roosevelt defines as an amount sufficient to provide for education, recre^iion, care for immature members of the family, maintenance of the family during sickness, and accumulation of reasonable saving for old age; prohibition.o night labor for women and children, eight-hour shifts for workmen in industries in which men are employed 24 hours a day; national and state workitigmen's compensation laws, guarantee by law of one day's rest in every seven, old age insurance and insurance against sickness, invalidism and involuntary employment, the cost of such insurance to be distributed among employer, employe and perhaps the people at large. ~ Legislation to increase popular coatrpl oyer governmental agencies, including a national law for presidential primaries, election o! U . S. senators by direct vote, the short ballot, corrupt practices acts applying to primaries as well as elections, qualified adoption ojC the initiative, referendum and recall. Woman "suffrage1^ ' " . Strengthening of the pure food law. Establishment of a national health department. Creation of a permanent tariff commission to study the effects of protection and the relations of the tariff to labor. CoJ. Roosevelt declared against blanket revisions of the tariff, saying that changes should be made schedule by schedule. Cost of Uving Remedy.. Measures to relieve the high cost of living, among which are suggested elimination of the middle man, legislation to stop speculation which inflates prices, assistance of the farmer by state and national government, one of improved business methods, good roads, reclamation of arid and swamp lands and an expert examination into any tariff schedule which seems to increase the cost of living.

Tie St. Mary's Picnic People of Pinckney and surrounding localities always look forward with pleasure to the St Mary's annual picnic A fine time is always expected and this year was no exception to the general rule. Weather conditions were unusually good. Yes, so was the big dinner at noon. The ladies are to be complimented on their excellent menu. The speeches began with Fr. M. Comerford of Flint as toastmaster for the occasion. George Burke Prosecuting Attorney of Washtenaw Co., A. D. Thompson and Richard D. Roche both of Howell were called upon each giving an interesting talk and were enthusiastically cheered at tbe close of their remarks. •"V*. The North Lake Band was right there every minute to keep everybody in a joyful mood with their music. There were 635 meal tickets sold and doubtless many moze might have been disposed of had everyone arrived in time for dinner. Take it all in all the picnic was one glorious success and netted the society close to 1500 Of the ball game the least said the better. It was Pinckney's first game this year while Stockbridge has been averaging two or three games a week since the season started. Ledwidge started on the slab for Pinckney but was in poor form from lack of practise, having no control and being hit freely. His support was also far from perfect. He was relieved by Bravender in the fifth but before this gentleman could get settled Stockbridge poshed across eight more counters. This ended their scoring as they were unable to hit Bravender in the last four innings. Pinckney scored her first run in •the third on singles by Levey Bros, and Ledwidge and their last in the sixth on Ledwidge's double, A. Lavey's out at first and Manning's sacrifice fly. White's fielding featured for Pinckney and the all around work of Hollis for Stockbridge, that individual getting a double and two singles in five trips to the plate and also robbing White of a hit by a remarkable shoestring catch.

A* Why yes; Certainly: Of course there will be mistakes this week in the paper, as well as in "the bread that mother used to make." Frank Bell was born May 31, 1888 in Dexter township, Washtenaw Co. and died August 6, 1912. Until the past few months he was looked upon as a model of physical fitness and there were few who could Outdo him in a hard day's work. A short time ago his health began to fail and in hope of relief he went to the U. of M. hospital at Ann Arbor, where the specialists diagnosed his case as valvular heart trouble. Although everything possible was done to help him, a special nurse being in attendance constantly, and having the best attention that a private patient could have in that great institution, he did not survive long after going there. Frank was well known to all in this community and his loss will be felt by all^his friends, and es« pecially by his former employers wto considered him one of the best workman in this section. He was strictly honest and trust worthy, faithful and thoroughly competent in every branch of farm work, always deeply appreciative of any kindness shown him and never forgettiug to repay any favor, no matter how small. This fine characteristic was especially noticeable in his kind and sympathetic attentions to his mother in Ker recent severe illness. That the funeral was the largest held in Pinckney for some years shows the appreciation of his loss and sympathy with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Bell, and the eight brothers and -three sisters in this their first great bereavment Relatives and friends from Webberville, Jackson, Ann Arbor, Munith, Bunker Hill and Dexter, besides an unusually large number from Pinckney were in attendance at the funeral.

If exact and ideal Justice were done, the weak would make an effort to give to the strong all that is their due, and the strong would try to put their affairs in order so that no just cause of complaint should exist anywhere. The unhappy element in the-relations of the strong and the weak is that both are thinking too much about exacting justice and not enough about doing that which is just and right.

Having little* else' to do, she studied the man, and she studied him with a warm desire and an enthusiastic predisposition to find the best i n him. tShe would not have been a human [girl if she had not been thrilled to ;the very heart of her by what the man had done for her. She recognized that whether he asserted It or not, he ihad established an everlasting and Indisputable claim upon her. The circumstances of their • first meeting, which aa the days passed did not seem quite so horrible to her, and yet a thought of which would faring the blood to her cheek still on the Instant, had in some way turned ner over to him. Hte consideration of her, his gracious Tenderness toward her, his absolute abnegation, his ^eviden£ overwhelming desire to please her, to make the anomalous situation ln which they stood to each other bearable in spite of their lonely and unobserved intimacy, by an absolute lack of presumption on his part—all those things touched her profoundly. Although she did not recognize the fact then perhaps, she loved him from the moment her eyes had opened in the mist and rain after that awful battle in the torrent to see him bending over her. No sight that had ever met Enid -Maltland's eyes was so glorious, so awe inspiring, so uplifting and magnificent as the viejw from the verge •of the cliff in the sunlight of some brigtit winter morning. Few women had ever enjoyed such privileges as hers. Shft did not know whether she liked the winter crowned range best that way, or whether she preferred the snowy world, glittering cold in the moonlight; or even whether it was more attractive when it was dark and the peaks and drifts were only lighted by the stars which shone never so brightly as Just above her head. When he allowed her she loved to stand sometimes in the full fury of the gale with the wind shrieking and sobbing like lost souls in some icy Inferno through the hills and over the pines, the snow beating upon her, the sleet cutting her face if she dared to turn toward the storm. Generally he left her alone Jn the quieter moments, but in the tempest he stood watchful, on guard by her side, buttressing her, protecting her, sheltering her. Indeed nis presence then was necessary, without him she could scarce have maintained a footing. The force of the wind might have hurled her down the mountain but for his strong arm. .'VyhejQ tthe cold grew too great he led her!back carefully to the hut and the warm fire. v< Ahi ; yes, life and the world were "both beautiful to her then, in night, i n $ay, by .sunlight, by moonlight, ln calm and storm. Yet it made no difference, what was spread before the woman's eyes, what glorious picture .was exhibited to her gaze, she could apt jAok.at, it„more, than A moment r without thinking of the man. With .the most fascinating panorama that the earth's surface coujd spread before human yJsion to engage her attention,, ehe;r 1 ^ into her own heart and saw there this, man! " , Oh, she had fought against it at first, hut lately she had luxuriated Jn It, She loved bim, she loved him! .And why not? What is it that women love in men! Strength of body? .She could remember yet how he had carried her over the mountains in the m i d s ^ f the storm, how she had been .so bravely upborne by his arms to his heart She realized later what a task >that had been, what a fea,t of strength. , The, uprooting of that sapling and the overturning of that huge Grizzly were r child's play to the long portage up the almost impassable canon and <mouotoi%^|| which had brought he* from the world, buried himself in this mountain, and had stayed there deaf to the alluring call of man or woman; he had -h£d the courage to do that. , Was it strength of mind she admired? Enid Maitland was no mean judge of the mental powers of her .acquaintance. She was jusuasfull of life and spirit and the joy of them as any young woman should be, but she had not been trained by and thrown witb the best for nothing. Noblesse oblige! That 4ils was a mind well stored with knowledge of the most, varied sort she easily and at once perceived. Of course the popular books of the last five years had passed him by, and of such he knew nothing, but he could talk intelligently, interestingly, entertainingly upon the great classics. Keats and Shakespeare were his most thumbed volumes. He had graduated from Harvard as a civil engineer with the highest honors of his class and school and the youngest man to get his sheepskin! Enid Maitland herself was a woman of broad culture and wide reading and she deliberately set herself to fathom this man's capabilities. Not infrequently, much to her surprise, sometimes to her dismay, but generally to her satisfaction, she found that she had no plummet with which to sound his greater depths. Did she seek in him that fine flower of good breeding, gentleness and consideration? Where could she find these qualities better displayed? She was absolutely alone with this man, entirely In his power, shut.off from the world and its interference as effectually as if they had both been abandoned in an Ice floe at the North Pole or cast away on some lonely island ln the South Seas, yet she felt as safe as if she had been in her own house, or her uncle's, with every protection that human power could give. He had never presumed upon the situation in the least degree, he never once referred to the circumstances of their meeting in the remotest way, he never even • discussed her rescue from the flood, he never told her how he had borne her through the rain to its crown of sunny hair rising above the rushing water. He had listened to the roar of the wind through the long nights, when > she thought him asleep if she thought of him at ail, and heard again the scream of the storm that had brought her to Ms arms. No snow drop that touched his cheek when he was abroad but reminded him of that night in the cold rain when he had held ber close and carried her on. He could not sit and mend her boot without remembering that white foot before which he would fain have prostrated himself and upon which he would have ^pressed passionate kisses if he had given way to his desires. But he kept all these things in his heart, pondered them and made no sign. Did she ask beauty in her lover? Ah, there at last he failed. According to the canons of perfection he did not measure up to tbe standard. His features were irregular, his chin a trifle too square, his mouth a thought too firm, his brow wrinkled a little; but he was good to look at for he looked strong, he looked clean and he looked true. There was about him, too, that stamp of practical efficiency that men who can do things always have. You looked at him and you felt sure that what he undertook that he would accomplish, that decision and capability were incarnate in him. But after all the things are said love goes where it is sent, and I, at least, am not the sender. This woman loved this man neither because nor in spite of these qualities. That they were might account for her affection, but. if they had not been, it may be that that affection, that that passion, would have inhabitated her heart still. No one can say, no one can tell how or why those things are. She had loved him while she raged against him and hated him. She did neither the one nor the other of those two last things, now, and she loved him the more. Mystery is a great mover; there is nothing so attractive as a problem wo cannot solve. The very situation of She said in her heart—and I am not one to dispute her conclusions— that she would have loved him had he been one among millions to stand before hen, and it was true. He was the complement of her nature. They differed in temperament as much as In complexion, and yet-in those differences as must always be to make perfect love and perfect union, there were striking resemblances, necessary points of contact. There was no reason whatever why Enfd Maitland should not love this man. The only possible check upon her feelings would have been her rather anomalous relation to Armstrong, but she reflected tbat she had promised him definitely,,, nothing. When she had met him she had been heart whole, he had made some impression upon her fancy and might have made more with greater opportunity, but unfortunately for him, luckily for her, he had not enjoyed that privbut there is a sweetness even in the despair of the truly loving. Enid Maitland, however, did not have to endure indifference, or fight against a passion which met with no response, for this man loved her w i t h a love-that was greater even than her own. The moon, in the trite aphorism, looks on many brooks, the brook sees no moon but the one above him in the heavens. In one sense his merit in winning her affection for himself from the hundreds of men she knew, was the greater; rn many years he had only seen this one woman. Naturally she should be everything to him. She represented to him not only the woman but womankind. He had been a boy practically 'when he had buried himself in those mountains, and in all tbat time he had seen nobody like Enid Maitland. Every argument which had been exploited to show why she should love him could be turned about to account for his •onght. n. of character » • detennJnatlotif teiy withdrawn ed away, or which may be expressed from tbe soft petals by the' hard clr cumstanceB of pain and sorrow until there Is left nothing but the lingering perfume of the flower. His body trembred if she laid hand upon him, his soul thirsted for her; present or absent be conjured before his tortured brain the sweetness that inhabited ber breast He had been clearsighted enough in analyzing the past, he was neither clearsighted nor coherent ln thinking oi the present. He worshiped her, he could have thrown himself upen his knees to her; K it would have added to her happiness, she could have killed him, smiling at her. Rode she In the Juggernaut car of the ancient Idol, with his body, would he have unhesitatingly paved the way and have been glad of the privilege. He longed to compass her with sweet* obser* servances. The world revenged itself upon him for his long neglect, it had summed up in this one woman all it* charm, its beauty, Its romance, and had thrust her into his very arms. His was one of those great passions which illuminate the records of the past. Paolo had not loved Franceses fnore. Oh, yes, the woman knew he loved her. It was not in the power of mortal man no matter how Iron his re* straint, how absolute the Imposition of his will, to keep his heart hidden, his passion undisclosed. No-one could keep such things secret, his love foi her cried aloud in a thousand ways, even his look when he dared to turf his eyes upon her was eloquent of hlr feeling. He never said a word, how ever, he held his lips at least fettereV and bound for he believed that honoi and its obligations weighed down the balance upon the contrary side tc which his inclinations lay. He was not worthy of this woman. In the first place all he, had to offer her was a blood stained hand. That might have been overcome In his mind; but pride in his self punishment, his resolution to withdraw himself from man and woman until such time as God completed his expiation and signified his acceptance of the penitent by taking away his life, held him inexorably. The dark face of his wife rose before him. He forced himself to think upon her, she had loved him, she had given him all that she could. He remembered how she had pleaded with him tLat he take her on that last and most dangerous of Journeys, her devotion to ijim ^ ^ O i i o B j f t J f c could net lei him gT cut of ner signt She Loved to Stand In the Pull Fury of the Gale. the lonely shelter of the bills, and In no way did he say anything that the most keenly scrutinizing mind would torture into an allusion to the pool and the bear and the woman. The fineness of bis breeding was never so well exhibited as i n this reticence. More often than not it is what he does.not rather than what he does that indicates the man. It would be folly to deny that be never thought of these things. Had he forgotten them there would be no merit in his silence; hut to remem* her them and to keep stillr-aye, that •bowed the man! He would close bis eyes in that little, ropjm on the other tide of the> door 'apd see again the 4arf. pooV not *h%* shoulders, m c t f t t l ' * r a s » U e lovely fee* w i l l the man, how be came there, whai he did there, why he remained there* questions to which she had yet no answer, stimulated -her profoundly. Because she did not know she questioned in secret; interest was aroused and the transition to love was easy. Propinquity, too, is responsible for many an affection. "The ivy clings to the first met tree." Given a man and woman heart free and throw them together and let there be decent kindness on both sides, and tt is almost inevitable that each shall love the other. Isolate them from the world, let them see no other companions but tb* one man and the one woman, and the result becomes more inevitable. , iTes^ i t e woman lofed thtr msm The Dark Pate of His ilege. She scarcely thought of him longer. She would not have been human if her mind had not dwelt upon the world beyond the sky-line on the other side of the range. She knew how those who loved ber must be suffering un account of her disappearance, but knowing herself safe and realizing that within a short time, when the spring came again, she would go back • to them and that their mourning would be turned Into Joy by her arrival, she could not concern herself very greatly over their present feelings and emc^ietfsT"and besides, what would be jfece use of worrying over those things? There was metal more attractive for her thoughts close at hand. And she was too blissfully happy to entertain for' more than a moment any sorrow. • She pictured often ber return and never by any chance did she think of going back to civilization alone. The man she loved would be by her side, the church's blessing would make them one. To do her justice, ln the simplicity and purity of her thoughts she never once thought of what the world might say about that long winter sojourn alone with this man. She was so conscious of her own innocence and of his delicate forbearance, she never once thought how humanity would raise its eyes and fairly cry upon her from the house tops. She did not realize that were she ever so pure and so innocent she could not now or ever reach the high position which Caesar, who was none too reputable himself,, would fain have his wife enjoy! C H A P T E R X V . The Man's Heart. Now, love produces both happiness and imbappiness, but on tbe whole I think tb* happiness predominates, for love itself if it be true and high is Us own reward. Love may feel itself unworthy and may shrink even from the unlatching of the shoe lace of the beloved, yet it Joys In its own existence nevertheless. Of coufse its grtatestMUsfaction Is i n tho return. passion for her. They are not necessary, they arc ail supererogatory, idle words. To him also love had been born in an hour. It had flashed into existence as if from the flat of the Divine. Oh, he had fought against it. Like the eremites of old he had been scourged into the desert by remorse and another passion, but time had done its worje. The woman he first loved had ministered not to the spiritual side of the man, or if she had so ministered In any degree it was because he had looked at her with a glamour of inexperience and youth. During those five years of solitude, of study arid of reflection, the truth had gradually unrolled itself before him. Conclusions vastly at variance with what he had ever believed possible as to the woman upon whom he had first bestowed his heart, bad got into his being and were in solution there; this present woman was the precipitant which brought them to life. He knew now what the old appeal of his wife had been. He knew now what the new appeal of this woman was. In humanity two things in life are inextricably intermingled, -body, and soul. Where tbe function of one begins and the function of the other ends no one is able to say. In a l l human passions are admixtures , of the earth earthy. We are born the sons of old Adam as we are reborn the sons of the New. Passions are complex. As in harvest wheat and, tares grow together until the end, so in love earth and heaven mingte ever. He remembered a clause from an ancient marriage service he had read. "With my body I thee worship," and with every fibre of bis physical being, be loved this woman. It would be idle to deny that, 1m* possible to disguise the facts, but in the melting pot of passion the pre* ponderant ingredient was mental and spiritual; and just because higher and holler things predominated, he held her in his heart a sacred thing. LOve is like a rose: the material part its the beautiful blossom; the spiritual factor is the fragrance which abides i n tho rooe Jar even after every leaf has fadthing, He could not be false to his purpose, false to her memory, unworthy of the passion in'which he believed she had held him and which he believed he had inspired. If he had gone out in the world, after her death he might have forgotten most of these things, he might have lived them down. Saner dearer views would have come to him. His morbid self reproach and self consciousness would have been changed. But he had lived with them alone for five years and now there was no putting them aside. Honor and pride, the only things that may successfully % flght against love, overcome him. He could not give way. He wanted to, every time he was in her presence he longed to sweep her to his heart and crush her in his arms and bend her head back and press Hps of ,fire on her lips. But honor and pride, held him back. How long would they continue to exercise dominion over him? Would the time come when his passion rising like a sea would thunder upon these artificial embankments of his soul, beat them down and sweep them away? At first the disparity between their situations, not so much upon account of family or of property*—the treasures of the mountains, hidden since) creation he had discovered andnlet l i o —but because of the youth and position of the woman compared to h i t own maturer years, his desperate ex* perience, and his social withdrawal had reinforced his determination to live and love without a Sign. But' b#> had long since got beyond? this. H a d he been free he" would have taken her like a viking of old, if he had to pluck her from amid a thousand swords and carry ber to a beggar's hut which love Would nave turned to a palace.

F R A N K C R A N E , Chicago H E N King Solomon built bis temple lie had set up in front of it two pillars, which he called Jachin and Boaz, meaning permanence and strength. The cunning artist, Hiram of Tyre, made the pillars, which must have been imposing, from the many references to them; and in the account in the book of Kings it is said: "And upon the top of the pillars was lily work; so was the work of the pillars finished." Lily work upon the pillars! It is a haunting word. All through the Justory of architecture men seem to have felt that the pillars of strength should be capped by the capitals of beauty. , The same law holds good in the realm of spiritual reality that holds good in the realm of material appearance. The law is that the end of strength is beauty, and the basis of beauty is strength. Virtue is pure strength; it is not usable in the temple of life until it becomes beautiful—that is, till it becomes love. Love is virtue—with lilv work. ) Contrariwise, mere amiability, tenderness, a pleasing face and manner, nvith no strength of character beneath, is nothing but lily work for its own £ake; hence cheap and unsatisfying. So also goodness is the pillar, joy the lily work. Joy without goodmess is moral tawdriness, and goodness without joy is moral crudeness. The puritans were all for pillar; the cavaliers were all for lily work. There has been a world long conflict between the moralist, seeking for strength and the artist seeking for beauty. Manly strength is not perfect; nor is womanly beauty; it is the union •of the two, the family, which is perfect. Cromwell and his Ironsides, smashing stained glass windows were pillars. Bead George Eliot's "Eomola." Romola's husband was all Jily work. I will tell yon when the millennium will come. It wilLbe when the .good shall be beautiful, and the beautiful shall be good. Then shall the future chronicler say: "At that time humanity solved its problem. Righteousness and peace kissed each other. For men had at last learned, in their lives as well as their houses, to crown all pillars with lily work, and put lily work only upon the pillars." M a n y C i t y M e n M a k e G o o d By J . C. WorthlDoloD, New York A certain writer is much exercised over the difficulties that will be experienced by "a man of forty raised in a big city, employed as a clerk on a moderate salary, used to comfortable, steam-heated flats, theaters and similar excitements, going to the country and raising fruit." f\n Thousands of such men are doing this work and making good at it, doing far bet- F a r i n ^ * c r ^ i e ^ c o u ^ e v e r * i a v e ^ o n e extremely moderate incomes that they earned in the city. Modern farm homes have running water, steam or hot water heat, telephones and many more comforts and conveniences than are ever possible in*a city apartment or on the average city income. ^ Many of our most successful farmers are ex-city men, who are succeeding better than many who never left the farm, because they came to the work with open and active minds, and willingness to learn new and improved methods. But often the native is content to follow the antiquated methods of his grandfather. i The man who studies his fields, his crops, their fertilizer needs, the reason, weather conditions; who fights weeds, insects, rodents and other pests; who studies the mating of different strains of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, pets, bees, for the production of,the most desirable qualities dn their offspring; who studies feeding methods; who takes part in local politics; interests-himself in schools, lodges, church, rc$ds, bridges and all neighborhood doings will have all the "excitement" that any healthy minded man. needs and then some. When he or his family wish to,see <& good play they have the price to do it properly, wfaich is often lacking with the city man, and comparatively few farms are more than three or four4 hours' ride from a live town, Man- is a social animal and needs the companionship of his fellows to develop the beet that is in him; nowhere is he able to enjoy such companionship better than in the country, where everybody knows everybody else and has a friendly interest in his welfare. The man who can't live without constant excitement has degenerated; if not too far gone the country may cure him; otherwise, he is hopeless. y W h e n I s G i r l O l d E n o u g h t o M a r r y ?

BABYIASHI I n f a n t s ' b o a r d e d f o p 0 3 TO #7PER WEEK AT A BIG PROMT BECA USE THEY REQUIRE LITTLE CARE * CHICAGO—"Baby farming" has extended as a profitable business in Chicago. The profits accrue from starved bodies, neglected and ill-treated children, homeless and dependent upon the ."farmer" with whom they are "boarded" at from three.'£0 seven dollars per week. Most of the "farms" are situated in districts where tumbling buildings are decaying in filth and neglect. The babies are helpless and have no right of selections; they must suffer in silence and often die from disease and neglect. The first baby farm visited by a re'"the attic, but I'll put your baby In the porter for the • Sunday Tribune waB kept by a middle-aged woman trying to care for eight or ten small children in cramped quarters and under poor conditions. Undoubtedly this woman meant well enough. But she heeded the money. She simply could not devote enough time to each child to give its little life a fighting chance. A "baby farm" does not mean a place where the grass is green and there are plenty of trees and cows, but a dingy flat in the "yards" or a four-room cottage on a corner where five car lines meet. There is nothing comfortable about a "baby farm" but the income of the woman, who often appears corpulent and luxurious in contrast to the emaciated infants In her charge. Here the babies are all teeth, long hair, and legs, they are so thin. They look like cadaverous blrdB, opening their mouths continuously for nourishment which they do not get Inspection Fear of Keepers. When a Tribune reporter went unbidden to one "baby farm" in the suburbs, the woman in charge turned pale and her Hps trembled. She almost dropped a bottle of soothing sirup she was carrying and gained control of herself only when told that the reporter had a baby to board. "0/* she said, taking a lopg breath. "1 thought won were from th* board of health. * They are inspeetin' the babies somethin' fierce. Don't allow more than four children to a house, they are gettin* so strict." Wails from several distressed voices floated down from the attic as she spoke, and there were five children in the room. It was one of those problems of two times two are five, which essayists used to write about in school on composition week. Mental calculation was> interrupted by the door bell. A pale mother, almost lost under a sailor hat, and 1n a cheap long coat, stood on the little stoop before the door. She wished to board her ten-days'-old baby, as she had to go to work in a restaurant tbe next day. A whispered conference followed In the doorway. The frail mother crossed the woman's palm with three pieces of silver before she hurried ofT to fetch her baby. Infante the Choice Boarders. "How old is your baby?" was asked. "A year old," I stammered, not knowing whether to make an^ fictitious child real young or not. Then I realized my mistake. and said: "I get five doUars a week for boardin' this one. She's gettin' her teeth and looks puny, but she's strong." "I'll pay you five dollars a week, but I must look over the place to see Just where the baby will sleep and what attention you can give it." The woman slanted her Bhrewd eyes and demurred, haggling for a bargain. "I hain't got much room. I have four children of my own, and there are my two boarders, my husband, and myself. My father lives with me, too. I can't take no more babies In most of tha time and don't bother me," she said, shaking the bottle of coidial significantly. parlor for seven dollars a week." I was afraid of the cats in the front room. Cats the Lesser Danger. "Nothin' is going to hurt your baby sleep in' down here," she insisted a little coldly, lifting her voice above the wails of the infants in the attic. "I've boarded children goin* on six years, and nothin' has ever happened to one of them." I insisted upon placing my child in the attic. Then she reluctantly led the way through the kitchen, where I discovered more children. A twoyear old boarder in a dirty dress rocked herself wearily near the range. Two other waifs stood on chairs, hacking at a loaf of bread lying on the mussy oilcloth on the kitchen table. A bare hack yard decorated with scraps of old iron and many tin cans could be seen its whole length to the high, unpainted board fence, through the open doorway. This is where the children play. I stumbled up the attic stairs behind the woman, who became wedged in the narrow passageway now and then and stopped to catch her breath. At last we reached the top. It was only a half room up there. I could stand ur> straight only when I gained the middle of the room. On a bed In a dark corner lay eight babies, half undressed, and crying and squirming in uncleanliness. Empty milk bottles and dirty clothes were scattered over the floor. The one window in the attic was closed securely* by a nail. I hurried down. All for the Greed of Money! Eight babies in the attic, eight below, four children of her own, two boarders, an aged father, her husband, and herself to care for, all living in four rooms and an attic, this is what the greed for money had led one woman to. Besides, she washed and' ironed and did all her housework while caring for the boarding babies. A bleak wall on an unpaved street was tbe exterior of a certain "baby farm" in a third floor fiat down in the "yards." Pushing the button above the speaking tube i n the middle of the wall. I listened. % "Who's there?" came down through the mouthpiece. "I wish to come up." "Take the back stairs," came the answer. Following the broken boardN*alk. I squeezed between two walls and climbed the rickety back stairs. The surprised German maid announced the way down on the street car.) AH I had to 40'$t the ittJfifld "fcabj farm" was to look around. , r, ' Roojn fn General t&lsarrafc • On the -floor in the kitchen lay four babies kicking first one pink sock in the air and then a white one. I noticed that the stockings of most of the habiea were not mates. On the kitchen table stood three clothes baskets, and in* each was an infant wailing plteously. In the corners, on chairs, beside the kitchen range, hanging like cocoons everywhere were baskets with babies sleeping on pillows turned brown from uncleanliness. There were nine in the kitchen alone. In the next room were _ more frail babies, howling from their gocarts, cribs, and baskets. And in the front room more babies cried. A n infant covered by a mosquito bar lay apart. She bad sore eyes. Milk Not Even Boiled. A seventeen-year-old mother Btood leaning over a sleeping baby in the parlor. "He's mine. Hie name is Fred," she whispered. "Doesn't he look bad? They almost killed him after I left him here six weeks. He was SO neglected that he had spasms. I had to give up my work in the factory and watch him for three weeks. He's still thin. The doctor said he was starving by inches. "One time when I came to visit him I found' him drinking raw milk that had not been boiled. Another time when I came unexpectedly to see my baby I found a strange baby wearing my baby's clotheB. "The superintendent of the 'baby farm' is cruel to the older children. She's too strict, doesn't allows them to jPlay in the yard, and maizes them sit ra a chair all jlay when she is around. She sends them off to school without breakfast, and they have only bread and molasses for lunch. One morning I had a spare hour before I had to be at the factory. I ran down to see my baby. I did not see the alder children eating breakfast. I asked Mary, the oldest child, if she had had her breakfast. She answered that none of the children had. "As a punishment, the superintendent of the 'baby farm' makes the children stand in a corner for hours when they are naughty. She has a dark closet for the mischievous ones. She pours castor oil and other lubricants down the throats of youngsters who tell falsehoods or washes their mouths out with strong soap to keep them from telling 'stories.' They must play in/ a subdued way in the kitchen, if they play at all." Little incentive to Laughter. I glanced at the three little girls and the one little boy sitting around the kitchen table stacking a deck of greasy playing cards. They looked as if they never smiled. The maid fished a bottle of milk from the tin boiler, full of hot water, on the kitchen range. She carried it into the second room. A loud scream of pain came from the second room. The seventeen-year-old mother and I ran to the rescue of the Infant in distress. The mother reached the child first. She cooled the hot bottle of milk under a faucet in the kitchen. "How they attend to babies, giving them boiling milk," snapped the mother, trying to relieve the burned child'e pain, while the maid mumbled: "I know how the milk should be. It's not too hot." It is usually one long, hard struggle with neglect and continuous discomfort for the children. Two infants were killed from underfeeding at one "farm," the records show; one child is whipped with a rawhide by an attendant, the mother claimed; a Saby's fingers were burned: an infant was scalded on the side when the mother called for a visit. Anyhow, the sixteen infants In this "baby farm" in the third floor flat down in the "yards" looked like plants kept away frothe sun. Many Reasons for Seclusion. The children are kept housed for many reasons; because the neighbors do not like to have so many children around, and give the superintendent of a "baby farm" trouble, in finding a flat* because there is danger from contagious disease when infants are taken abroad, or because the woman "farmer" is too proud to let It b< known that she boards babies for r living.

In answer to Comrade Riley I will give a condensed report from Colonel Noble (Third Iowa cavalry) to Adjutant General Baker of Iowa, writes W. E. Hayden of Portland, Ore., i n the National Tribune, which ought to satisfy him as to the part the cavalry took at Brioe's Crossroads: "Headquarters Third Iowa cavalry, Near Memphis, Tenn, August 9, 1864. "Sir: I have the honor to report as to the part taken by the Third Iowa cavalry.in the expedition unoer Gen. Sturgis. Approaching Brice's Crossroads, at 11 a. m.f this command went into line of -battle by battalion on the right of the main road, and soon after the artillery opened in front. We then advanced beyond Brice's about 600 yards. After forming in line with the balance of the brigade the cavalry waa dismounted and the horses sent to the rear. Soon after we became heavily* engaged with the enemy, and held them in check for an hour. On the left of our brigade the enemy was driven back three different times. At this Juncture my whole command was relieved by. regiments of infantry, and was retiring when the infantry became engaged. We formed a new line ini their rear, rather than to appear to leave them in an emergency. "The contest lasted but a short time after this, i n d the enemy was hotly pressing his victory, and we took a second position, mounted, to protect the retreating column. A column of squadrons was again formed facing: the enemy and retired by alternate; squadron, keeping the enemy in check.

Clode Oh the evening of the twenty-third of December I was one of a party at bridge at the residence of Baron AdolphyVoa Hubert on Eighty-sixth street. The baron was the American agent of the Berlin banking house of Weissell & Co. The little party on this evening consisted of Madame von Hubert, the baron, Winfleld Gerry and myself. Young Gerry, who went everywhere among people of leisure, was taken to be enormously rich. His brother, Marcus Gerry, was certainly one of the wealthiest men in New York. He was the largest stockholder, and financial dictator, of the Fifty-eighth National bank. Winfleld Gerry was under thirty, a courtly young fellow, almost as handsome as a girl. He was extravagant, daring, it was said, and reckless. He had been brought up from boyhood on the continent, I think, and was colored with the Latin temperament. I do not remember ever to have been so fortunate at cards as on this evening. When we arose from the table, I had won $700, of which sum the baron lost two hundred. The remainder was the loss of Winfleld Gerry. I was glad of this distribution of the loss. Young Gerry was reputed an idle young fellow with millions at his finger tips. The baron, keeping his money, like a Teuton, in gold, handed me ten double- eagles. Mr. Gerry said that he would give me a check at the club, and asked me to ride down town with him in his carriage. We were scarcely seated before he turned to me and said, in a quiet, even voice, as though he were announcing a score: "I can't pay you, Mr. Parks." I turned in astonishment to see if he was jesting. The electric light in the carriage showed me a face distressingly drawn and tired. There was no pleasantry behind that countenance. The solution came to me instantly. This man, posing as a gentleman, w a s ' i n fact a cad; he was about to question the regularity of the game, the regularity of a friendly sitting at bridge in the house of such people as the von Huberts. I bristled with indignation. "And may I inquire," 1 answered frigidly, "why is it that you cannot pay me, Mr. Gerry?" The man did not at once reply. He took a cigarette from his pocket, lighted it and leaned back on the cushions of the carriage. "For the best reason in the world, Mr. Parks," he answered; "I have at this moment, to be en rely accurate, Just two hundred and thirty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents." I was greatly relieved. " M y dear sir," I laughed, "I do not expect you to carry about a cash drawer. I knew an Englishman once* whose income was something like a hundred thousand sterling, and who did not have a shilling in his pocket from one year's end to the other. I should be glad of your check. I should be glad of any "You are alone there," he said simply. My annoyance returned. I detest passagea at banter. "I trust," I said, "tfcat j?ou wttl permit me to understand you." "It would be better, I have no doubt," he said, looking me evenly in the face. "I have not intended to be either obscure or facetious. The sum which I have just mentioned represents all the money that I have in the world. My reputation for wealth is a mere shell. I owe ninety-five thousand dollars, exclusive of this little debt to you. Stable and tailor bills, various club dues, run fifteen hundred more* I owe twelve hundred i n overdrafts. It is near a Irandred thousand, you see. Against this, I have perhaps five thousand dollars of personal effects; horses worth thirty-five hundred and a bundle of worthless stocks. I am beastly poor, atrociously poor, you see, Mr. Parks." , I listened in astonishment. ' "You will doubtless put me down a cad," he went on, "to Join a game of bridge when I had not the money to pay my losses. In fact, I did not intend to play. I called, intending to make my excuses to the baroness and depart I found this politely impossible, and I sat, down to the table hoping that two hundred dollars would cover my proportion of probable loss/' He paused and made a deprecating gesture. "It was no idle fancy of the ancients to picture fortune a woman. 1 might have known." Then he stopped, stripped o ? his gloves, took out hjs purse, removed two rings* unhooked a Jewel from his tie, and, before I realized what he was doing, handed them all to me. I put back his hand. He thrust the articles into Ws waistcoat ^pocket and dropped his hand on his knee. "I thank you for the courtesy," he said, "but you would much better take them. They will presently be listed by the referee in bankruptcy. One Brazilian diamond, two* and a half carats, valued at three hundred dollars. One imitation ruby, valued at fifty dollars. One baroque pearl, valued tit twenty-five dollars. The very " i s mostly sham. I am a rather pretense, Mr. Parks." w«s little to say, and I said it wttlr.tlie best grace I could gather —the ; | p * J f . 'platitudes. Something would t*rfc rip i n the morning, wealthy friends were i n abundance. I mentioned his brother, Marcus Gerry. He said the name over slowly after me, "Marcus Gerry." Then his lips set evenly along his fine, sensitive mouth. But only for a moment. He gave me a swift glance and began to laugh. "My brother is all right, you know; but he is a commercial factor. His financial sense is sound. A rotten ship is a rotten ship. The captain of it cannot matter a two-pence. Let him step down and off, and the hull go to Davy Jones. Pension the captain perhaps, but cut loose from the derelict. That's Marcus Gerry. That's the sane view." x We were down town now. The carriage was turning into Fifth avenue. The young man touched, the driver's button. "This is your club, Mr. Parks, I believe," he said. "I am obliged by your kindness. Won't you let me give you the gewgaws?" "By no means," I answered, getting out of the cab. "Please do me the courtesy to forget our game of bridge." He laughed pleasantly. "Oh, I shall forget it, thank you. Seafaring folk at Bremen say the cable ought always to read, 'Der Kapitah ging mit seinem Schiffe r unter.'" Then he spoke to the driver and closed the carriage door. I went into the club and got a pony of brandy, a cigar and a chair by the fire. I was greatly sorry for young Gerry. He was an exceedingly pleasant fellow. Still, I could do nothing. I had thought the matter over fully. I could, of course, bring him to Randolph Mason, but of what use was that? There was no balance of injustice to^be squared up here. A reckless young spendthrift, come to the end of his tether, was all. Mason would have that fact out in a twinkle, and close the door in his face. It was out of the question to fool him. He would pick a man like a vulture at a bone till he got to the marrow. I threw the cigar into the fire. Anyway, Marcus Gerry would doubtless pension the captain of the rotten ship. AL the worst, he would probably be better off than the moBt of us. Then I recalled the German sentence. "Heinrich," I said to the club steward, "what is 'Der Kapitan ging mit seinem Schiffe unter?'" "Der Captain vent down mit his ship," replied the man. A great light came to me. I went over to the table and write on my card, "Come to Randolph Mason tomorrow at eleven. The* old Field mansion off Broadway, below Wall street." Then I sent it to his address by messenger. That would at least gain time; and perhaps the boy would give up the idea of suicide. Then I took another pony of brandy and walked to my lodgings. I was a little late in arriving on Broadway the morning after the game of bridge. As I stopped to open the old iron gate to Randolph Mason's house, Winfleld Gerry came across from Wajl street and joined me. K e looked well-groomed and wholesome. We entered the house and crossed the wide hall to the old-time drawingroom, now used for an office. As I threw back the mahogany door, I observed Randolph Mason leaning over the table in the middle of the room. He straightened up, cast a steady, searching glance at young Gerry that ran swiftly over him to his feet, then turned abruptly and walked into the adjoining room, closing the foldingdoors behind him. We entered and young Gerry took a chair by the window. "Was that Randolph Mason?" he said. I answered that it was. "Until I saw his face," he continued, "I could have sworn that it was Liebach, the greatest surgeon in Europe. He has Liebacb's banW too. But the resemblance vanishes when he looked up. This man's lean, sinewy, protruding jaw is almost a menace. He ls not as gray as Liebach, either; and, besides that, Liebach has, once in a while, something gentle i n his face, if they do call him the 'Wolf,' in Munich. This man's face looks metallic, as though it f l i g h t ring if you struck it." 1 laughed, tossed him the morning paper, and begged him to excuse me while I can over the morning mail. I was scarcely seated before Pietro appeared, saying that Mr. Mason wished to see me. I arose and went into the adjoining room. Randolph .Mason sat at his table, his elbow on the writing-pad and his chin propped in the hollow of his hand. Before him was a square sheet from his memoranda* files. He began to volley questions in a voice that snapped like the click of a gun-barrel into its block. "Is Wilder acquitted?" "Yes," I answered; "a per curiam opinion yesterday. The mandate will come down from the United States circuit court of appeals, Monday.1 ' "The Atlantic*Canadian Securities?" "Returned out of court, coupons paid up, costs assumed by the syndicate." "Andre Dessausure?" "Dead," I replied. At the word. Mason turned over the memorandum sheet on the table, folded his armis and stared vacantly at tbe rows of bookcases lining the wall. JjPfcia was the enemy beyond J*im. The State department waited a day too long. . The little 'Frenchman had taken to his brazier of charcoal like an impulsive son of the Quartier Latin, and Mason had failed.' I seized this opportune mood to get an audience for young Gerry. "Mr. Mason," I said, "in the next room is another man booked to the same shipping-point." He turned sharply in his chair. "Bring him i n / ' he said. I opened the door and requested the young man to come into this private office, although I had little hope that Randolph Mason would even hear his history to the end. I had no hope of his assistance for young Gerry; his case had none of the elements of uncorrected injustice, bringing it within Mason's zone of interest. I expected to see Mason search him mercilessly for a moment, and then drop him as a prospector would a spurious nugget. Young Gerry entered and remained standing by one of the bookcases near the table. Mason looked at him carefully for a moment; then he s%id> "How much do you owe?" Winfiefd Gerry glanced quizzically at me. I reassured him with a nod and he answered, "In round numbers, one hundred thousand dollars." "For what?" said Maso%, "Borrowed money," replied Gerry. "For what?" Mason repeated. The young man hesitated; then he said, "I am thought to be rather reckless where money matters are concerned. Horses that5 are not fast "I came here with no such plan. I came, in fact, merely to put in the morning/* There was something sinister i n the way he spoke of the morning—like a convicted prisoner, coming up to be sentenced at the afternodn sitting of a court, s ' "Where is this man, Egan Bedford?" said Randolph Mason. Winfleld Gerry lifted his face in surprise. "You surely know Egan Bedford," he said; "he is the richest broker in Boston. Egan Bedford & Co. is the firm name; but there 1B no firm and no company, it's all Egan Bedford. He posed a few years as a financial unfortunate, then he gradually brought out the covered funds. Today he is one of the largest private bankers In Massachusetts." Then he added, wearily, "The Bcheme of things seems to require a hell. Matters must be adjusted somewhere." "This one will be adjusted here," said Mason. Young Gerry smiled somewhat bitterly/ "Snch" a thing is impossible," he said; "quite impossible." Randolph Mason ignored the words. His face lost its gleaming vitality, as though a curtain were lowered behind it shutting out the light. The effect on Winfleld Gerry was instantly noticeable. The atmosphere of stress was lifted. He stretched out his limbs, and looked curiously about him at the rows of bookcases along the wall, the oriental rug on the floor, Ihe scattered volumes on the table, quite as if Randolph Mason had walked out of the room. Then he turned as if to go into the outer office. He was half facing the door, when Mason's chin went up. with bis houses that you are about to draw a series of checks on the Fiftyeighth National bank of New York, which you wish him to cash and for which you will pay him the usual commercial discount. "Also tell him that you have no deposit in the Fifty-eighth National bank subject to check, but that this bank will arrange with him about meeting the checks, and to take the matter up with it at once. Ypu will say nothing more, and leave the bank. "On the next day begin to present your checks, payable to yourself and drawn on the Fifty-eighth National bank of New York. These checks will be made out for amounts, respectively, in your statement of debts. With the money, as you receive it from each check, you will at once pay that creditor in full, This you will continue until all the creditors are paid. It ought not to require longer than a fortnight." Mason arose as though to dismiss the audience with young Gerry; then he added, "You will remember to do exactly as I say; do you understand that?" < "I understand," replied the young man in amazement. "But the thing is impossible. The Fifty-eighth National bank will never shoulder such a loss. These debts aggregate $300,000." "The Fifty-eighth National bank of New York," said Mason, "will not lose a dollar." "Then," cried Gerry, now utterly incredulous, "I do not know how under heaven Egan Bedford can be got to cash the checks!" "Jt is sufficient that I know," said Mason. Then he got up abruptly and walked out of the room. I was not present at the conference of Marcus Gerry with Randolph Mason. He came on Tuesday evening, when I was at the Cloverdale Hunt German. By request from Mason, Coleman Stratton, Mr. Gerry's counsel* breast. He waived his fat arm at enough, women that are too fast; usually an explanation Is required to go no further." I could readily see that he was hoping to evade this query. "What'is the truth about it?" said Mason. Young Gerry shifted his feet uneasily. "Well*" he began weakly, ''won't that do for an explanation? How can it matter, anyway? The money is gone." Mason continued monotonously to repeat his question. The young man seemed to go through that period of uncertainty and hesitation common to the court witness who finds himself forced by the examiner either to make a clean breast of his story or stubbornly refuse to answer anything at all. He chewed his lips nervously, fumbled with the buttons on his waistcoat and stroked gently the angle of his jaw. Mason waited without apparent interest. Finally, he arrived at his conclusion. He dropped his hand as with a gesture of resignation. "Very well," he said; "this is the whole truth: My father and Egan Bedford were financial partners. One day Bedford borrowed all the money he could get in Wall street on the firm's credit, and apparently used it in an unsuccessful effort to hold up a line of rotten securities, while in fact he secreted the money. A little later the firm failed. Bedford cleared himseirbf the wreck i n bankruptcy. My father paid up the losses out of his private fortune as far as he could. When he died I assumed the remainder of the loss, about two hundred thousand dollars. I Have paid half of it; but I can go no further." He dropped his Hand limply on his knee, as he had done the evening before in his carriage. Again I was astonished at the contradiction which Winfleld Gerry presented. I studied his face. It was drawn and tired, as it had been last night I had been wrong about him, wrong about his character, his habits and the causes of his unfortunate situation. This boy was breaking at the knees under the burden of another's wrong. I understood him now. The air of recklessness was assumed to explain these debts. H e was playing the loose spendthrift, while he strc*e to cjear his -father's name and to return what Bedford had stolen. 1 . young Gerry pulled himself to* gether. "I hardly realize why I have laid this matter open," he continued; Instantly he fell into an attitude of attention. "Are you related to Marcus Gerry?" said Mason. The young man crossed the floor and sat down in a chair. "He is my brother," he replied. "Then," said MaBon, "this thing is child's play." The old listless cloud settled again over Winfleld Gerry's face. "Mr. Mason," he said, "there Is no hope in that quarter. My brother, Marcus Gerry, 1B not a sentimentalist, as I am. He is a practical person. When one gets a dollar from Marcus Gerry, he leaves two in unquestioned securities until he comes back with the loan. His instincts are those of a banker, human until it comes to tbe money sacks. Do not misunderstand me. My brother would promptly knock down the man who assailed my name in his presence. He would go up to the door of state's prison to crush my enemy. He would grind every moral precept into pulp to pull me out of a hole; but he would not pay out a hundred thousand dollars, nor a hundred dollars, nor one dollar, to wipe out this debt which 1 have assumed. I have gone over this matter more than once with him. He i s lying in wait for Egan Bedford. He has gone to great pains to cultivate amicable relations with him. Bedford & Co. has become tbe Boston correspondent of the Fifty-eighth National bank, which belongs to my brother. Marcus Gerry will repay Bedford i n his own good time when tbe hour finally comes." "It has come," said Mason. Then he leaned forward in his chair and looked Winfleld Gerry steadily in the face, as one does with a child when he wishes to impress upon him the importance of some direction. "Young man," he said, "attend accurately to what I am about to say. You will at once make a careful and correct estimate of the amounts owed by the estate of your father and yourself by reason of Egan. Bedford. W i s statement must be correct. Not a cent more, not a cent less, than the exact sum. You will at once dispose of any property you have in New York, and on next Monday go to Boston and open an office as a broker. Before the end of the week you will receive a telegram from Marcus Gerry authorizing you to follow ray directions. On receipt of it go at once to the banking house of Egan Bedford & Co., and say tor Mr. Bedford that you wish to establish a temporary ljne of.credit and that of the Fifty-eighth National bank, accompanied him. I have ^it from Pietro that the conference ran up to midnight and that half tbe books in the private office were on the floor in the morning. At twelve o'clock Marcus Gerry sent a telegram to his brother, saying to go ahead as Mason had directed. Pietro took this telegram to the Western Union office on Broadway. When he returned he passed Marcus Gerry's carriage leaving the house. So the Gideon sign arrived in Boston before it was required. I know accurately what followed . On Monday morning Winfleld Gerry went to the banking house of Egan^Bedford & Co. and explained to Mr. Bedford what he wished to do, as Randolph Mason haU directed. Bedford requested Gerry to return the next morning. He then called up the Fifty-eiRhth National bank by telephone and inquired about the checks. The bank replied that Winfleld Gerry had no deposit there, but that it would guarantee the payment of his checks up to $300,000, and to send it all the checks together by Adams express at the close of banking hours on Saturday. Bedford replied that this arrangement was satisfactory; but he required it sent to him by cipher telegram and also by letter, which was accordingly done.

A light of cunning came into Epan Bedford's face. "I know that," he said; "but the bank is better than any man's account. I made the bank stand goc^Ior the checks,". '_. ; "How?" said Stratton, and I thought there was the faintest shadow ot a smile fitting about the corners of hie eyes. Bedford's broad face lighted with victory. He thrust his band into the bosom of his coat, took out a letter and a telegram and spread on* the table. "There," he said, "is the bank's guaranty in black and white and yellow." Then he added, with a sneer, "I guess your bank's not broke; is it?" The lawyer moved some papers until he found a printed statement. "The' bank," he said, "has assets valued at thirty-five millions of dollars; its liabilities are some ten millions. That would be, I believe, twenty-five millions above insolvency." "Then," said Bedford, ul want my money." "Doubtless," replied Stratton. Bedford exploded with anger. "I am tired of this confounded nonsense!" he shouted. "If the bank won't pay these checks, I will sue it." "Then you will lose," replied the lawyer quietly. "Lose!" cried Bedford. "The bank guaranteed these checks, 1 tell yoa. There is the guaranty; don't you see it?" and he pushed the papers across the table with his fat hand. "I see it," said the lawyer; "but i t is not worth filing room." "What?" shouted Bedford. "This guaranty of the Fifty-eighth National bank," continued Stratton, "is utterly void." Bedford plunged back on his heels like a man struck violently in the his counsel, whom he hitherto had Ignored. "Judge," he gurgled, -judge, do you hear that?" Judge Hacker, whose knowledge of the law is s a i d to equal t h a t of any practitioner in New York, arose and came over to the table. He nodded to us, then he spoke quietly to his confrere in the law. "Stratton," he said, "give me accurately your position in t h i B matter." Coleman Stratton touched an electric button, scribbled a memorandum on a scrap of paper and handed It to the office boy who entered. Then he turned to Judge**Hacker. "This contract of the Fifty-eighth National bank with Egan Bedford & Co. is one purely of guaranty, and is ultra vires on the part of the bank. The Revised Statutes of t b e United States g i v e a national bank no authority to guarantee the debts o f another. A national bank, as you are aware, cannot exercise powers in excess ot those .conferred upon it by statute. Egan Bedford & Co. and, for that, all persons equally with the bank are bound to take notice of the statute. The guaranty is void and the bank is not liable." Judge Hacker listened attentively. "Have you the Revised Statutes?" he said. "Yes," replied Stratton, haadfng him the volume. "Section 513*.w Judge Hacker opened the book on the table and began to read it carefully.

I expect If the truth could be known to QS she is wondering in the midst of her grief why 1 haveh't called, but she'll appreciate the considerate delicacy of a gentleman. 1 wish It were possible to get cut flowers in this cussed wilderness!" The judge had been occupied with t simple but Ingenious toilet. He ad trimmed the frayed skirts of his coat; then, by turning his cuffs Inmlde out and upside down a fresh surface made its first public appearance. Next his shoes had engaged his attention. They might have well discouraged a less resolute and resource- • ful character, but with the contents of bis ink-well he artfully colored his white yarn socks where they showed through the rifts in the leather, This tbe judge did gaily, now humming a '"Jama-tch of song, now listening civilly jto Mahaffy, now replying with undlsjturbed cheerfulness.

However, {on reaching Belle Plain, he and Hanrhibal were shown into the cool parlor [by little Steve.

I hadn't the heart to forbid i t If I can be of any service to you, ma'am either in the capacity ot a friend—or professionally— I trust you will not hesitate to command me—" The judge backed toward the door. "Did you walk out, Judge Price?" asked Betty kindly. "Nothing more than a healthful exercise— but we will not detain you, ma'am; the pleasure of seeing you ls something we had not reckoned on!" The judge's speech was thick amd unctuous with good feeling. He wished that Mahaffy might have been there to note the reserve and dignity of his deportment. "But you must let me order luncheon for you," said Betty. A t least this questionable old man was good to Hannibal. "I couldn't think of it, ma'am—" "You'll have a glass of wine, then," urged Betty hospitably. For the moment she had lost sight of what was clearly the judge's besetting sin. The Judge paused abruptly. He endured a moment of agonizing irresolution. "€m the advice of my physician 1 dare not touch wine—gout, ma'am, and liver—but this restriction does not apply to corn whisky—in moderation, and as a tonic—either before meals, immediately after meals or at any time between meals—always keeping in mind the idea of its tonic properties—" The judge seemed to mellow and ripen. This was much better than having the dogs sicked on you! His manner toward Betty became almost fatherly. Poor young thing, so lonely and desolate in the midst o f all this splendor—be surreptitiously wiped away a tear, and when little Steve presented himself and was told to bring wnlsky, audibly smacked his Dps—a whole Jot better, surely! "I am sorry you think you must hurry away, Judge Price," said Betty. She still retained the small brown hand Hannibal had thrust into hers. "The eastern mall gets in today, ma'am, and I have reason to think my share of It will be especially heavy, for it brings the bulk of my professional correspondence." In ten years the judge had received Just: one communication by mail—a bi\i which had followed him through four states and seven counties. "I expect my secretary—" boldly fixing Solomon Mahaffy's status, "is already dipping into It; an excellent assistant, ma'am, but literary rather than legal." Little Steve reappeared bearing a silver tray on whic^ was a decanter aad glass. "Siuce you insist, ma'am," the Judge poured himself a drink, "my best respects—" he bowed profoundly. Bowen, who has been here—since—** her voice broke suddenly. "I understand, ma'am," said the judge soothingly. ; He gave her a glance of great concern and turned to Hannibal. "Dear lad, you'll be very quiet and obedient, and do exactly aB Miss Malroy says? When shall 1 come for him, ma'am?" "I'll send him to you when he ls ready to go home. I am thinking of visiting my friends In North Carolina, and I should like to have him spend as much time as possible with me before I start for the east." It had occurred to Betty that she had done little or nothing for the child; probably this would be her last opportunity. The state of the Judge's feelings was such that with elaborate absence of mind he poured himself a second drink of whisky; and that there should be no doubt the act was one of Inadvertence, said again, "My best respects, ma'am," and bowed as before. Putting down the glass, he backed toward the door. "I trust you will not hesitate to call upon me if I can be of any use to you, ma'am—a message will bring me here without a moment's delay." He was rather disappointed that no allusion had been made to his recent activities. Her reasoned correctly that Betty was as yet in ignorance ot the somewhat dangerous eminence he had achieved as the champion of law and order. However, he reflected with satisfaction that Hannibal, to remaining, would admirably serve his ends. Betty insisted that he should be driven home, and after faintly protesting, the judge gracefully yielded the point, and a few moments later roiled away from Belle Plain behind a pair of sleek-coated bays, with a negro in livery on the box. He was con scleras of a great sense of exaltation. He felt that he should paralyze Mahaffy. He even temporarily forgot the blow his hopes had sustained when Betty spoke of returning to North Carolina. This was life—broad acres and niggers— principally to trot after you toting liquor—and such liqruor!—he lolled back luxuriantly with halfclosed eyes. "Twenty ,years in the wood If an hour!" he muttered. "I'd like to have just such a taste In my. mouth when I come to die and probably she has barrels of It!" he sighed deeply, and searched his soul for words with which adequately to describe that whisky to Mahaffy. But why not do more than paralyze Solomon—that would be pleasant but not especially profitable. The judge came back quickly to the vexed problem of his future. He desired to make some striking display of Miss Malroy's courtesy. He knew that his Especially Valuable on the Farm anc Comparatively Cheap to Construct— Some Good Points Noted in Its Favor. Many farmers are using concrete for the making of walks, fence poets and stock tanks, but this article describes a new use for this valuable material—the construction of refrigerators from concrete mixture. In building this refrigerator forms of dressed plank are used.

The judge considered the matter. A t least he could let people see something of that decent respect with which Miss Malroy treated him. They were entering Raleigh now, and he ordered the coachman to pull his horses down to a walk. He h*d decided to make use of the Belle Plain turnout in creating an atmosphere of confidence and trust—especially trust. To this end be spent the best part of an hoar interviewing his creditors. It amounted almost to a mass-meeting of the adult male population, for he had no favorites. When he invaded virgin territory he believed in starting the largest pos- Interlor Arrangement.

Hannibal had devoted himself loyally to the Judge's glorification, and Betty heard all about the letter, the snuffing of the candles and the reward of five thousand dollars. It vastly increased the child's sense of importance and satisfaction when he discovered she had known nothing of these matters until he told her of them. "Why, where would Judge Price get so much money, Hannibal?" she asked, greatly astonished. "He won't have tu get it, Miss Betty; Mr. Mahaffy says he don't reckon no one will ever Jell who wrote the letter—he 'lows, the man who done that will keep pretty mum—he Just dessent tell!" the boy explained. "Np, 1 suppose not—" and Betty saw that perhaps, after all, the judge had not assumed any very great financial responsibility. j"He can't be a coward, though, Hannibal!" she added, for she understood that the risk of personal 'Violence which he ran was genuine. She had termed her own unsympathetic estimate of him that day at Boggs' race-tragk; Mahalfy in his blackest hour could have added nothing to i t Twice since then she had met him in Raleigh, which had only served to fix that first impression.

"I wouldn't withhold hxD$© from any man, Solomon; it's the cheapest thing in tbe world and the one thing we are most miserly about extending to our fellows. These people all feel better—and what did It cost me?— Just a little decent consideration; just the knowledge of what the unavoidable associations of ideas In their own minds would do far them!" What had seemed the corpse of credit breathed again, and the Judge and Mahaffy immediately embarked upon a characteristic celebration. Early candle-light found them making a beginning; midnight came—the gray and purple of dawn—rand they were still at it, back of closed dodrs and shuttered windows. 060 A • WOOD ' The Complete Box. water from dampness does not form and drop on contents, as with other kinds.

Got His Answer. When Oscar Wilde came to the ynited States to lecture on aesthetics in his highly aesthetic velvet costume— and incidentally to prepare the public mind for the proper appreciation of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience," in which the aesthetic movement was held up to ridicule—he used to complain that America was very uninteresting since it had "no antiquities and no curiosities." But he ventured on this disparagement once too often, for in the course of his travels he uttered it to the American Girl, And she replied with the demure depravity of candid innocence that this was not quite a fair reproach, since f'we shall have the antiquities in time, and we are already importing the curiosities." 6RI&U THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE* S | O C £ A * L U * * H l A f t f t t m W Carrying It Too Far.

It ls a fight between the grower and the pest and the latter has generally had the best of the; battle. The farmer has not been, properly equipped.

Power In Knowledge. A study of the Investigations and experiments which have placed in the hands of the intelligent grower effective methods of warfare is as interesting as It is Important; it reveals an educational movement which 6tands ^unparalleled In the effect , it has had in broadening the horizon of the agriculturist. It has forced him to see that there is more in his business than, following the rule-of-thumb process so long in vogue., It has emphasized the power of knowledge and It has demonstrated and is daily impressing the fact upon all who take tho trouble to see, that it requires more brains than brawn to succeed in an occupation at which formerly even the most ignorant could be at least fairly successful. The ignorant are going to the wall, and the student—the "book farmer" if you please, is pushing them along and filling their places when they are gone. Bordeaux Mixture Perfected. For the purpose of answering briefly onr many inquiries about Bordeaux mixture and its use, it will be sufficient to say that in 1886 a great Iture which may now by termed the "Normal" or 1.6 per cent Bordeaux mixture and the following ls the conv> i positidh; ... ,. , \ f Copper sulphate ,6 pounds Quicklime *....4 pounds Water . . . . . . . 4 5 gallons To Make Bordeaux Mixture. The "Normal" or 1.6 per cent Bordeaux mixture is made by dissolving 6 pounds of sulphate of copper i n 32 gallons of water, while in another vessel 4 pounds of lime is slacked in 13 gallons of water; the two liquids are then slowly mixed and the preparation is ready for use. « It is Interesting as well as important to known that while Bordeaux mixture is our most valuable fungicide it also possesses a marked insecticidal value, as ^tea-beetles appear to be most easily Overcome or driven away b^ this preparation. No farm or garden, no matter how s^mall, can be considered fully equipped without a supply of Bordeaux mixture and suitable apparatus for applying it.—Illinois Farmers'' Institute.

No. 1, lime slacking box. No. 2, stock solution barrel for lime. No. 3, stock solution barrel for sulphate of copper. No. 4, barrel spray pump.

Two such buckets would be highly desirable. many men conducted experiments to test the value of the* compounds of copper, very few Dther substances being used, and among them was A. Millardet, professor in the Academy of Science, Bordeaux, France, and to him may justly be given credit for discovering the value and use of the preparation which was destined to prove superior to all fungicides that have been used to this day, and which is now so well known under the name of Bordeaux mixture, and readily made on any farm. The composition of the "Standard" or 3.6 per cent Bordeaux mixture is as follows: Copper sulphate 6 pounds Quicklime 4 pounds Water 22 gallons This formula was at first extensively used, but it was found that a more dilute mixture would answer the purpose equally as well, as it was practically abandoned for the mix- The dried sugar beet pulp is a most excellent feed, and, like silage and roots, more valuable than a chemical analysis seems tp indicate. The pulp is almost as valuable, pound for pound, as the original beets from which it comes. The pulp is soaked in water a few hours before feeding. One peck of pulp when soaked will make a good bucket of thick slop. The usual ration for a cow is one peck of the soaked pulp mixed with two quarts of corn chop and two quarts of wheat bran, fed morning and evening. After this is eaten the cows are given a forkful of mixed hay, with straw a t n o o n . The cows f e d t h i 9 ration give a large quant i t y of good, rich, well-flavored milk and fatten up fit for the market with four months' feeding. Cows that will come fresh in the edrly sprtng should be allowed to go dry at least four weeks before calving. Dry cows can be kept In good, thrifty condition on chaffed cornstalks and oat straw, with one quart of corn chop to a bushel of chaff. Those giving mtlfc should get a bucket of warm slop twice a day to each, made by mixing one pint of corn chop, one pint of linseed meal and one quart o f wheat b V a n , in addition to mixed feed. Keep the stables clean, well lighted and ventilated. A l l stock, cows especially, should be carded and brushed down every morning. Stock cattle and young stock are less liable to have skin diseases If the h}de is thoroughly cleansed and kept fri>? from scarf or dandruff. A little wrude petroleum rubbed over bare* spots will soften the skin and promote the growth of hair. This oil Is excellent for cuts and sores. First wash the sore with warm water and castile soap, wipe dry with clean cloth and then rub i n the oil.

John Burroughs is well known as one of the foremost of nature writers in this country. Some time ago he visited his brother, Eden Burroughs, who lives In the Catskills, at a place called Hobart. The two brothers went fox hunting together. Tho honor of the hunt came to Eden, who shot the around the lot, but she thought the ar only fox. It so happened that foxguments with the umpire were quite! skins were worth fljje dollars at that 632 N . 6th St., Terre Haute, Ind.— "My little nephew, a boy of four years, had a breaking out on his face. It was little red spots at first, then hie would rub and scratch and water blisters would form, and wherever the water would run another would come until his face was covered with them. He would cry and fret. His mother got some medicine, but it did not do any good. He would scream and cry and say it hurt. We hardly knew him, his litle face was all red spots and blisters. So I begged him to let me put some Cuticura Ointment on them. The next morning I made a strong s,oap suds with Cuticura Soap and washed his face in the warm suds. The lfttle blisters burst by pressing the cloth on them. After I had his face washed, I put the Cuticura Ointment on and in a short.time his little face was all red and dry. I kept using the Cuticura Soap and putting on the Cuticura Ointment and his face got as well and it did not leave a_scar; He v^as entirely cured in atiout one week and a half."

A good little story, long current in England, is just now gaining American circulation. It has for leading characters Rudyard Kipling and Dorothy Drew, Mr. Gladstone's little grandchild. Kipling was visiting HaWarden, and, being fond of children, devoted himself to little Miss Dorothy until her , anxious mother expressed the hope that the child had fot been wearying the great author. "Oh, no, mamma," spoke up Dorothy, before any one else had a chance to say anything, "but you have no idea how Mr. Kipling has been wearying me!" Child's Fear of the Dark. If mothers notice that the brains of very susceptible organization and the sights and thoughts from the shadows of a room more or less dark, let the light burn -brightly. To force a child to become accustomed to the darkness is a grave error, if its nervous system is so organized that this forcing ls productive of a fright, The nervous system of a child is a very susceptible organization ond the deleterious impressions made upon it will often make their influence felt throughout its whole after life. If the child asks for a light under such circumstances do not refuse it. Lots of people are morw anxious to pay their social obligations than their debts. Liquid blue Is a weak solution. Avoid It.

No doubt they are aware of the fact that I have opposition for my re-nomination for Congress. i It remains tor the Republicans of the 6tb District to decide whether or not they care to be longer represented by a Republican who bas had several years ot legislative experience, and wbo has sought at all times, acd under all circumstances, to extend every courtesy and kindness possible to all bis constituents, or one who I am sure makes no claim of having had any legislative experience whatever. In a word, and in all kindnessw I respectfully ask the" Republicans to lookup tbe fitness and qualifications of my Republican opponent and decide for themselves. * Owing to the fact that Congress is still in session, I have been baudicapp ed in making my contest, believing it to be my duty to remain in Washing ton during tbe closing hours of the session, rather than to return to Michigan to look after my contest in the primaries. I believe this course will be much more satisfactory to my constituents, and tor this reason, I shall all the more appreciate the efforts of my friends in my behalf. I hope every Republican will be at primaries August 27tb, using bis influence and vote for my re-nomination which will be greatly appreciated. Sincere<y yours, 34tl ' S . W . S M I T H HUGH G.

Startling Silo Sensation New Saginaw Feature Anchoring the base of stave silos as the giant roots anchor for centuries the great oak—the final step in making complete the stave silo. Eventually all silo users will recognize the fact that the stave silo keeps silag6 perfectly; and to overcome the last objection, the fear of 'the stave, silo blowing down, and to make an even better and stronger silo, we have been ^ 4 eagerly searching for new ideas. Many W years ago we developed the Saginaw AH- > - Steel Door Frame, adding convenience, solidity and great strength to the entire structure. The same enterprise, together with keen foresight, developed in 1911, the Saginaw Inner Anchoring Hoop Licensed under Harder Patent No. 627732 me of the greatsnccesses in modern silo construction. And now-^rel2»wath all wondering what possibly could ba added to the Saginaw Silo, our engineering department has created and proved through exhaustive tests, a device wonderfully effective and remarkably simple in design and conetruction, and like all great inventions, "It's a wonder it wasn't thought of before." This invention will be known t*» the world as The Saginaw Base Anchor Like all important Silo improvements you get the Base Anchor only in the Saginaw. We will be glad to tell you more about this wonderful improvement. % We have a new book showing ctozenb 01 interesting views of our tour lar^e plants. This new Rook, entitled "The Building of a Silo", also contains- very recent and complete information on silage. We have a copy for you. Write for it—or better, cqme in and get you£ Book and we'll f »ik it over. T. H . H O W L E T T , Agent, G r e g o r y , M i c h .

Two women, a man and three boys were killed outright. Their bodies were horribly mutilated. The accident happened on a grade crossing. The view of the railroad tracks was obscured by a corn field. The occupants of the machine did not see the train seemingly, until they were directly on the track, and it was too late. The automobile was struck directly in the center. It was demolished and the bodies of the victims were strewn along the right of way for a distance of 100 feet. Engineer Sunley checked his train as soon as possible and the victims were placed in the baggage car. Many of the passengers on the train who assisted in the rescue were overcome. A l l the passengers in the automobile with the exception of the smallest child, were unconscious when picked up by the passengers i and train crew. Some of them breathed their last as they were lifted into the baggage car. Navy Exhibit at State Fair.

Battle Creek.—Legal action is to be taken by the city tp prohibit public bathing at Goguac lake. A resolution was passed at the meeting of the council instructing Mayor Thomas Zelinsky, Recorder Thomas Thorn and Cky Attorney D. C. Salisbury to take such steps as may be necessary to stop, the practice of promiscuous bathing in the lake, on the ground that it was polluting the drinking water of t.he city. Battle Creek.—Another wave of crime hit tbe city when the office of the C. R. Brewer dumber company, 111 Marshall-street, was burglarized, and another robbery attempted at the home of Dr. C. D. Freeman. The burglar^ opened the safe at the lumber company's office and.secured $100 and a gold watch and chain. Nothing was obtained at Doctor, Freeman's borne. Grand Rapids.—C. E.

Besides putting" through the biggest engineering job in the world, he has been, during his years at Panama, a stanch fighter for the laws of economic decency. Colonel Goethals is a fighter and he will fight a trust as readily as he will fight a labor union. Whole cargoes of tainted meat have been shipped back by the commissary, because the beef trusts' goods were not up to sample. Thousands of square yards of screening were condemned and left unpaid for, as soon as it was discovered that the copper trust had put in so muc|» Iron that they were rapidly falling to pieces with rust. Colonel Goethals Is determined that no contractors shall become rich by supplying the Panama canal with rotten food and shoddy material, as so many did in the days Of the De Lesseps company.

They are masters who instruct us without rod or ferule, without angry words, without clothes or money.

Enid discovers that her ankle is sprained and that she is unable to walk. Her mysterious rescuer carries her to his camp. Enid goes to sleep In the strange man's hunk. C H A P T E R X—-(Continued.) Have you ever climbed a mountain early in the morning while it was yet dark and having gained some dominant crest stood staring at the far horizon, the empurpled east, while the "dawn came up like thunder?'* Or Ibetter still, have you ever stood within the cold, idark recesses of some deep valley of river or pass and -watched the clear light spread its fcars athwart the heavens like nebulous mighty pinions along the light touched crest of a towering range, until all of a sudden, with a leap almost of joy, the great sun blazed in the high horizon? You might be born a child of the dark, and light might sear and burn your eye balls accustomed to cooler deeper shades, yet you could no more turn away from this glory, though you might hate it, than by mere effort of will you could c,ease to breathe the air. The shock that you might feel, the sudden surprise, is only faintly suggestive of the emotions in the breast of this man. Once long ago the gentlest and tenderest of voices called from the dark to the light, the blind. And it is given to modern science and to modern skill sometimes, to emulate that godlike achievement. Perhaps the surprise, ike yamfeement, the bewilderment, of him who having been blind doth now Bee, if we can imagine It not having been in the case ourselves, will be a better guide to the understanding of this man's emotion when this woman came suddenly into his lonely orbit. His eyes were opened although he would not know it. He fought down his new consciousness and would have none of I t t"et it was there. He loved her! With what joy did Selkirk welcome the savage sharer of his solitude! Suppose she had been a woman of his own race; had she been old, withered, hideous, he must have loved her on the instant, much more if she were young and beautiful. The thing was inevitable. Such passions are born. God forbid that we should deny i t In the busy haunts of men where women are as plenty as blackberries, to use FalstafTs simile, and where a man may sometimes choose between a hundred, or a thousand, such loves are born, forever. A voice in the night, a face in the street, a whispered word, the touch pt a hand, the answering throb of another heart—and behold! two walk together, where before, each walked alone. Sometimes the man or the woman who is born again of love knows it siot, refuses to admit it, refuses to recognize i t Some birth pain, must jwa^en the consciousness of the new If those things are true and possible* under every day .conditions and to ordinary men and women, how much more to this solitary, He had seen tips woman, wbite breasted like the foafm, rising as the ancient goddress from the Paphian seji. CJfirerthat ^collection, as he was a gentleman and a Christian, he would fain draw, a mlaM .ttf-greet' a ,wall. He must not dwell'upon that fact, he. 'would not i m « « ^ v — t m i • son by tbe blaze lay on the white pillow— and he loved her. God pity him, fighting against fact and admission of it, yet how could he help it? He had loved once before in his life, with the fire of youth and spring, but it was not Uke.jthis.,'He did not recognize this new passion .in any light from the past; therefore he would not admit it. Hence, he did not understand it. But he saw and admitted and understood enough to know that the past was no longer the supreme subject in his life, that the present rose higher, bulked larger and hid more and more of his far-off horizon. He fe!t like a knave and a traitor, as if he had been base, disloyal, false to his ideal, recreant to his remembrance. Was he indeed a true man? Did he have that rugged strength, that abiding faith, that eternal consciousness, that lasting affection, beside which the rocky paths he often trod were things transient, perishable, evanescent? Was he a weakling that he fell at the first sight of another woman ? He stopped his ceaseless pace forward and backward, and stopped near that frail and futile door. She was there and there was none to prevent His hand sought the latch. What was he about to do? God forbid that a thought he could not freely share with humanity should enter his brain then. He held all women sacred, and so he had ever done, and this woman in her loneliness, In her helplessness, in l&r weakness, trebly appealed to him. But he would look upon her, he would fain see if she were there, if it were all not a dream, the creation of his disordered Imagination. Men had gone mad in hermitages in the mountains, they had been driven insane in lonely oases in vast deserts; and they had peopled their solitude with men and women. Was this some working of a disordered brain, too too much turned upon itself and with too tremendous \ pressure upon i t producing an illusion? Was there in truth any woman there? He would raise the latch and open the door and look. Once more the hand went stealthily to the latch. The woman slept quietly on. No thin barricade easily unlocked or easily broken protected her. Something intangible, yet stronger than the thickest, the most rigid bars of steel guarded her; something unseen, indescribable, but so unmistakable when it left the latch, It fell gently, he drew back and turned away trembling, a conqueror who mastered himself. He was awake to the truth again. What had he been about to do? Profane, uninvited, the sanctity of her chamber, violate the hospitality of his own house? Even with a proper motive, imperil his self-respect, shatter her trust, endanger that honor which so suddenly became a part of him on demand? She would not probably know; she could never know unless she awoke. What of that? That ancient honor of his life and race rose like a mountain whose scarped face cannot be scaled. He fell back with a swjft turn, a feeling almost womanly; and more men, perhaps, If they lived in feminine isolation, as self-centered as women are so often by necessity, would be as feminine as their s i s t e r s - Influenced him, overcame him. His hand went to his hunting shirt Nervously he tore it open; he grasped a bright object that hung against his breast. As he did so, the thought came to him that not before in five years had he been for a moment unconscious of the pressure of thaft locket over his heart, but now that this other had come, he had to seek for it to find it. The man dragged it out, held it in his hand and opened i t He held it so tightly that it almost gave beneath the strong grasp of his strong hand. From a nearby box he drew another object with his other hand. He took the two to the light, the soft light of the candle upon the table, and stared from one to the other with eyes brimming. Like crystal gazers, he saw other things than those presented to the casual vision. He heard other sounds than the beat of the rain upon the roof, the roar of the wind down the canon, A voice that he had sworn he would never forget, but which, God forgive him, had not now the clearness that it might have , had yesterday, whispered awful words to him. Anon he looked into another face, red, too, with no hue from the hearth or leaping flame, but red with the blood of ghastly wound3. He heard again that report, the roar louder and more terrible than any peal of thunder that rived the clouds above his. head and made the mountains quake and tremble. He was ^conscious again of the awful stillness of death that supervaded. He dropped on his knees, unconscious woman slept quietly on. The red firelight died .away, the glowing coals sank infe&^ray ash. Within the other room the cold dawn^stealing through the unshaded window looked upon a, field of battle—death, wounds, triumphs, defeats—portrayed upon one poor human face, upturned as sometimes victors and "vanquished alike upturn stark faces from the field to the God above who may pity but who has not intervened. So Jacob may have looked after that awful night when he wrestled until the day broke, with the angel, and would not let him go until he blessed him, walking, forever after with halting step as memorial, but with his blessing earned. Hath this man's blessing won or not? And must he pay for it if he hath achieved it? And all the while the woman slept quietly upon the other si<|e of that door. C H A P T E R XI. for the man. In her helplessness she thought of his resourcefulness with eagerness. The man, however, did not appear, and there was nothing for her to do but to wait for liim. Taking one of the blankets from the bed, she sat down and drew it across her knees and took stock of the room. The cabin was built of logs, the room was large, perhaps 12 by 20 feet, with one side completely taken up by the stone fireplace; there were two windows, one on either side of the outer door, which opened toward the southwest. The walls were unplastered save in the chinks between the rough hewn logs of which it was made. untranslatable emdtions that she studied this picture, 'She marked with a certain resentment the bold beauty quitefapparent, despite the dim fading outlines ^of a photograph never very good. So far as she could discern,* the woman was dark haired and dark eyed —her direct antithesis! The casual viewer would have found little of fault in the presentment, but Enid Maitland's eyes were sharpened by what, pray? At any rate, she decided that the woman was of a rather coarse fiber, that in things finer and higher she would be found wanting. She was such a woman, so the girl reasone/i acutely, as might inspire a passionate i W > . T V - thi The Log Hut in the Mountains. What awakened the woman she did not know; in all probability it was the bright sunlight streaming through [ ' the narrow window before her. The cabin was so placed that the sun did not strike fairly into the room until it was some hours high, consequently she had her long sleep out entirely undisturbed. The man had made no effort whatever to awaken her. Whatever tasks he had performed since daybreak had been so silently accomplished that she had not been aware of them. So soon as he could do so, he had left the cabin and was now busily engaged In his daily duties outside the cabin and beyond, earshot. He knew that sleep was the very best medicine for her, and it was best that she should not be disturbed until in her own good time she awoke. The clouds had emptied themselves during the night, and the wind had at last died away toward morning, and now there was a great calm abroad in the land. Tho sunlight was dazzling. Outside, where the untempered rays beat full upon the crests of the mountains, it was doubtless warm, but within the cabin it was chilly. The fire had long since burned completely away, and he had not entered the room to replenish i t Yet Enid Maitland had lain snug and warm under her blankets. She presently tested her wounded foot, by moving it gently, and discovered agreeably that it was much less painful than she had anticipated. The treatment the night before had been very,successful. She <&tfd not get up immediately, but the coldness of the room struck her so soon as she got out of bed. Upon her first awakening she was hardly conscious of her situation; her sleep had b66ti too long and too heavy, and Jjer awakening too graJuat Tor "any" Sudden appreciation of the new condition. the Wi time*, (hat she realized where she was and what had happened. When she did so she arose at once. Her first impulse was to call. Never in her life had she felt such deathlike stillness. Even in the camp almost always there had been a whisper of breeze through ttie pine trees, or the chatter of water over the rocks. But here there were no pine trees and no sound of rushing brook came to her. It was almost painful. She was keen to dress and go out of the house. She stood upon the rude puncheon floor on one foot, scarcely able yet to bear even the lightest pressure upon the other., There were her clothes on chairs and tables before the,fireplace. Such had been the heat thrown out by that huge blaze that a brief inspection convinced, her that everything was thoroughly dry. Dry or wet, she must needs put them on, since they were all she had. She noticed that there were no locks on the doors, and she realized that the only protection she had waa the sense of decency and the honor of the man. That she had been allowed her sleep unmolested made her the more confident on that account She dressed hastily, although it was the work of some difficulty in view of her wounded foot, and of the stiff conditlon of her rough, dried apparel. Presently she was completely clothed, for that disrobed foot With the ' "- ,4 He Caught It Up Quickly, m Over the fireplace and around on one side ran a rude shelf covered with books.

On the puncheon floor wolf and bear skins were spread. In one corner against tho wall again were piled several splendid pairs of horns from the mountain sheep. The furniture consisted of the single bed or berth in which she had slept, built against the wall in one of the corners, a rude table on which were writing materials and some books. A row of curtained shelves, evidently made of small boxes and surmounted by a mirror, occupied another space. There were two or three chairs, the handiwork of tbe owner, comfortable enough in spite of their rude construction. On some other pegs hung a slicker and a sou'wester, a fur overcoat, a fur cap and other rough clothes; a pair of heavy boots stood by the fireplace. On another shelf there were a number of scientific Instruments, the nature of which she could not determine, although she could see that they were all in a beautiful state of preservation. There'was.plenty of rude comfort In tbe room, which was excessively mannish. In fact, there was nothing anywhere which In any way spoke of the existence of woman—except a picture in a small, rough, wooden frame which stood on the table before which she sat down. The picture was of a handsome woman—naturally Enid Maitland saw that before anything else. She would not have been a woman i f that had not engaged her attention more forcibly than any other fact i n the room. She picked it up and studied It long and earnestly, quite uncon* •clous of the reason for her Interest and yet a certain uneasy feeling might have warned her of what waa toward In her bosom. v This young woman had not y e t had fo get ber bearings.

"What is it?" she asked in response, "May I come In?" "Yes," was the quick answer. The man opened the door, left It ajar and entered the room. "Have you been awake long?" he began abruptly. "Not very." "I didn't disturb you, hecause you heeded sleep more than anything else. How do you feel?'* "Greatly refreshed, thank fon*t$i "And hungry,, I suppose?" "Very."

A few men make money suddenly or inherit a considerable amount and become sudden investors. The rule is that a man must be a saver of money for a considerable time before he becomes a buyer of securities. So the first and most vital question is, "What shall I do with my small savings ?" There are more than forty forms of co-operative, mutual benefit, savings and pther similar associations i n the United States. They are organized to take care of savings i n any ^amount from the smallest to the greatest sums. Many of them are excellently managed, honest i n intent and are worthy of encouragement Some are properly looked upon with suspicion. Most generally used, of course, are the savings banks. They have been 'tried by fire. Speaking generally, they are the most secure financial institutions we have. Our states have wisely regulated their operations— most of themjja^ve) Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Y o r k have done best. Ohio has a good law. Less protection for the savings bank depositor is offered i n the south and west than is judged wise to furnish i n the east. Here are some of the prohibitions the New York law puts upon its savings institutions: They cannot loan money on notes, drafts, bills of exchange or any personal securities whatever. They cannot buy stocks. They cannot buy bonds or other forms of security issued by any industrial, manufacturing or street railway company. They cannot buy or loan money on farm lands nor on mortgages outside of New York state. They cannot buy bonds which are not, at least i n part, first mortgages on the property bonded. They cannot buy real estate bonds or mortgages until after a committee of the bank's trustees makes a thorough examination of the property on which the bonds or mortgages are to be placed. All of these restrictions are salutary. They indicate some of the safeguards a prudent man ought to throw around his savings and also the tests he ought to make of his investment selections.

N. BUNN, M. D., Chicago Upon the authority of a Chicago physician it was recently asserted that to deprive the human race of salt for even a few months would have a disastrous effect upon the health of the people. This, I believe, has always been the teaching of our textbooks, and I am not prepared to dispute its truth, i n so far as civilized man is concerned. , There are, however, upon this earth many animals, wild or domestic, which get little or no salt and yet are healthy. True, they have a craving for it, as is shown by T. LOUIS,—Frances Bloom no longer rejoices in the appellation of "the meanest girl in S t Louis." Seven weeks in the workhouse have cured her of a deal of what she calls her "meanness." She is willing, nay,.she is eager, to be good. A l l that she desires now is to get out of the workhouse. If he i i convinced of the honesty of her refomation Judge Earl Kimmel, the "Golden Rule" poUce judge of St Louis, may parole Frances Bloom. "Oh, I will be good when I get out," she said at the city hospital, where she is at present. "I have had enough of being bad. "There is nothing in being bad. You just fight the world and yourself and you get tired of it. When you are bad you are always in trouble. Life is hard. First, there are the police to flght. Then there are the judges. Then comes the workhouse, the. guards and prison discipline, and all that. "| tell ytfifit is enough to kill a man of steel, let alone a woman, to flght society and the agents which society employs to make you good." Frances Bloom is not quite 19 years old. Yet she has four years ln the Girls' Industrial school at Chlllicothe to her discredit. She has been mar* ried almost a year. She has six months in the workhouse before' her. Was Charged With Vagrancy. •It all came about when Frances waa arrested at Sixteenth and Market streets May 14 charged with vagrancy. Patrolman Thies, who made the arrest, says that Frances "pulled a hatpin on him" and stabbed him through the arm. Frances says that it all came about through Patrolman Thies putting his arm around her head and'hat when he took her to the patrol box to "call the wagon." "He stuck the hatpin through his own arm," she said. "I admit that afterwards I bit and scratched him. But that was no way to treat a lady. Now, honest, was it?. How would you like the fact that when given the opportunity ihey devour it in astonishing quantities, and hunters have long taken advantage of the fact that wild animals will return to the salt lick. But •when there is no such spot known to them they live their whole lives rwithoutit . Of the use, of salt for seasoning and preserving their food the North iAmerican Indians knew absolutely nothing, yet all authorities agree they | your own wife, sweetheart, sister "or were a particularly healthy people, until they were afflicted by the white j daughter to be treated that way?" You shudder and admit that it does not appeal to your idea of the courtesy due a lady of your family. "They put me in the' lockup, and next day took me before Judge Kimmel. There was my first streak of luck. I have been in hard luck ever man's vices and the white man's diseases. I t is true there are some accounts to the effect that their medicine men had noted the action of animah above referred to and administered salt to their patients, and they may thus have benefited individual cases. But as a race they were a meat-eating people, without salt, and yet a healthy people. Furthermore, white men who went among them and lived as they lived scarcely missed the salt after they became used to its absence. C r u e l t y t o P o o r W o r k i n g G i r l s The other day it was suggested again that instead of going into factories women J P I A and girls should turn more generally to O l O p housework. The suggestion is all right, but there is a big field for improvement i n the life of the average woman who does housework for others, and the leading American women could do lots of good for their sex by introducing a better plan for the poor girls who do the housework. At the present time and for as long as I can recollect girls have had to work from 6:00 a. m. to 8:00 or 9:00 p. m., without time to eat properly or to take care of their .bodies. I know positively that many girls are nervous wrecks after doing this kind of work for some time. They have Sunday evenings and Thursday afternoon to themselves, hut most of them are too tired to enjoy their few hours. In no other country are the girls forced to work so fast or to do so much i n so short a time as here: Stop this cruelty and the girls w i l l not go to the factories or be w i l l - ing to marry lazy men, drunkards and gamblers. By MARIE J . MOBEfiAM, Boston T e a c h e r s M u s t B e T a u g h t T h e i r B u s i n e s s Pedagogy is the most neglected of all sciences. Before there are good pupils there must %e good teachers. I f a school system turns out inefficient, stupid graduates and that same system is responsible for the turning out of the teachers—how can the latter be anything except stupid and inefficient? The pedagogues teach the pupils—-but who teaches the pedagogues? I t is a l l a vicious circle. The teaching faculty is a distinct faculty. A man may know a l l there is to 1 "^bomes, ^ ^ j * ^ w i t h know about chemistry, say, aiid yet not be t h e * since I lost my father, ten years ago. But Judge Kimmel is a nice man. He gave me nine months in the workhouse. I felt like thanking him. He 'did it so nicely. "I liked it fine at the workhouse, too. Mr. White, the superintendent, is true to his name. He is a white man. He treats you as if you were a human being, not a dog. They told me that once he was a policeman, too. I can hardly believe it. He treated me simply grand, talked to me and made me see that I was a very foolish girl to act wildly. • "They sent me to the hospital. I am getting well fast" Tells Her Life Story. In response to questions' ttys waif of the world told the following story: "I was born in Chicago. My father Was a shoemaker. He followed his trade in various large and small cities. I have lived ln New York and in small townst in Ohio, Illinois and Missouri, where my father worked. But for fifteen years I have recognized S t Louis as my home. "Ten years ago my father and mother separated. My mother married again. I guess I gave her a lot of trouble. I was wild, but not a bad kid. Perhaps my stepfather did not like me. In any event, I was sent to the Girls' Industrial home at Chlllicothe. I was 14 at that time. 'That Is one thing they do for you at Chlllicothe. They give you a good education. I had gone to work at 10 years old in a factory. I never had any education at home. But I learned to read and to write and to sew and to cook and do a lot of useful things in the Industrial school. "The trouble is not with the authorities. It is with the girls themselves. |You see, there is no separation of girls. Innocent young girls who *V : sent there fttaptf because little girl was wild. Her face is a wild, wilful face. She is strong and willful and full of energy, an energy that If directed rightjy might be a power for good, Misdirected it might be a power for evil. ^ Quite evidently her parents failed her. This might be taken as an argument against parental and in favor of state control, the argument of the Socialists. When Frances Bloom's parents failed her the state took her in charge. Just how well the state fulfilled its duty to 14-year-old Frances Bloom her story of her life at the state industrial school sets forth in full. "When my parents failed me," she says in effect, "I knew nothing of evil. When the state took charge • of me I learnt, everything that was evil." Claim of the State. Now the state which failed Frances Bloom claims that she owes it a debt of good conduct and of proper behavior. It has sent her to the workhouse for 270 days and demands that Bhe shall pay that debt, $600, in full. Frances Bloom is paying the state what the state claims she owes it for infractions of its "be good" rules. How can Frances Bloom collect from the state what the state owes her, the state which declares that all men and women are born free and equal and have got an equal right to happiness and to prosperity? What has the state done for its ward, Frances Bloom? It put her in a "home," where she learned evil. True, she admits her debt to the state. She admits that it gave her a scholastic education. for the evil that Frances Bloom, product of the school, may have done? Evidently she owes but little to her parents or to the state. But every human being owes something to society. Frances Bloom owes that common debt. It is up to her npw to make good the debt. Her entire past is against her. Calvin White's Opinion. N "There may be some hope for m«n who come to the workhouse," says Calvin White, superintendent. "There is no hope for the women who come here. "They are all weaklings. They should all be in homes for the incompetent, for the weak, for the hopeless." What good will keeping Frances Bloom in the workhouse do? What is to be done with this strong, energetic young girl, whose parents failed her and whose state sent her where she learnt little save what was evil? I 4 Clearly, it is a question that, Booner or later, society must answer in the full.—Republic. Associated WKh Thieves, But ln giving her that education it obliged her to associate with thieves and with immoral women. "Innocent young girls, whose only crime is that they have neither pasents nor homes," says Frances Bloom, "are obliged by the state to associate with thieves; and with immoral women,'* * Is the state fulfilling its whole duty to "innocent0 young girls whose "only crime is that they have neither parents nor homes?" "What will you do when you become a free agent again?" was the Question ukejl of Frances Bloom. "I will go to the home of my married sister," she said. "She has been good to me. I will work.

Gufflng Wilcox in the New Orleans Times-Democrat I was taken, one dark, rainy night, by an affable old negro woman to her cabin, in the outskirts of the city. She came to me in tears: "Doctah, I des wisht yoh come an' see my' Samson. He 'pears mons'ous cur'ous, an' he acts des-like he 'stracted." At her cabin I found her son, a tremendous fellow, as black as a coal and evidently-an athlete, with no evidence of a wound upon his body, but with a tendency to bear off to one side as he walked, an apparent inability to talk, and possessed of a persistent effort to march and keep time to martial music, which he could not. do. Aunt -#annah told me that her son had always been strong and healthy, and that when he left Washington ,-with the army he was perfectly sound fend "des like de res' of de folks; but Bey fotch him back to his po' ole •mammy dee like yoh se him, doctah, an' I des skeered plumb outer my senses, dat I is." I examined Samson carefully and could find not the slightest thing the •matter with him, and half believed! that he was shamming. The room was whitewashed and I noticed a streak entirely around it .that was so evenly drawn that it attracted my attention, but in the stir- ?ring events of those days I really paid scant heed to so trifling a case as Asamson's, and so apparently trivial an ^Indication as was that level streak on the wall. I spent several years in Paris and in Germany after the war, and it waa not until 1886 that I was back in Washington. We had an international convention there at the time, and were taken to various public institutions, among With a Tendency to Bear Off to One Side. which was a little asylum for poor and insane negroes. In one room, as we were passing the door, I happened to observe on the whitewashed wall a well-worn streak drawn so level and circling the room so perfectly that it called to my mind a vision which fnad wholly forgotten. Before noon the next day we had* Samson's small room looking like a hospital operating room, and the great black frame lay on the table under the influence of ether. I cut open the right side of the thick skull, and sare enough, a splintered piece of bone from an old depressed fracture pressed into the brain. I lifted it, dressed it with aseptics, and replaced skull and scalp and placed him in bed. / Then we set about reviving htm. Presently Samson opened his eye* and stared about him.

G. Chapman.) On the twelfth of November, 1899, toward the end of a morning during which I had seen many patients, a lady giving the name of Mrs. Tankerville asked for an interview. She was admitted and one glance told me that she was not an ordinary patient. Her eyes were dark, restless and filled ' with nervous force and determination. Her whole face was very much lined, her cheeks sunken. "I khave come, Doctor Halifax," she said, "to beg of you to save the reason of a miserable woman." "You allude to mental trouble?" I Queried. "Yes; to heartbreak, shame and distress. I came up to the city last night, wondering to whom I could turn for aid. A friend had once told me of you, and I resolved to seek your sympathy." "I will give you my best attention, Mrs. Tankerville," I said, "as soon as I have dispensed with several patients who areswaiting for me in the reception room.'^v Having finished With my callers I returned to Mrs. Tankerville. She was standing by one of the windows, and I noticed with surprise that she was reading a manuscript of mine which I had been preparing for a medical journal and had left open on the table. The paper dealt solely with technical subjects, and I wondered what she found of interest in it. She laid it down when I appeared and without seating herself began to speak. "Doctor Halifax, I will tell you the cause of my trouble in a moment or two. But, in order that you may clearly understand my position, I should first like to give you some particulars of my past life. I married young; I had a husband who deeply loved me. We had plenty of private means and one child, a girl. Six years ago my first sorrow came; my husband died'. After his death all my love was lavished on my girl, Susanna, and she was worthy of all the affection I bestowed upon her. Between three and four months ago came the beginning of that awful tragedy which causes me to seek your aid today. Susanna was invited to visit an old relation of her father's, an extremely wealthy and eccentric woman. Her name was Stuart; and was unmarried, and^ lived in a lonely oottage on the outskirts of Westchester, N . Y. Miss Stuart was a confirmed miser, and it was reported that she had much treasure hidden away. My husband was Miss Stuart's firBt cousin, and she wrote expressing a strong wish to make the acquaintance of his daughter. Susanna wrote back that she would come if her mother was also ^-itf'vjted, but Miss Stuart refused, stating that Susanna was her own blood relation, but that I was not. Susanna thereupon declared that she would not pay any further attention to her, but thinking that my girl might benefit by it in the future, I insisted upon her going to Westchester by herself. She had been- with Miss Stuart for six weeks, when one day the door opened, and Susanna walked in. I started with amazement at the sight of her face.' A l l the color had left her cheeks, her eyes were filled with a wild look of terror. She came straight up to me and caught hold of my hands. "'Hide me, mother,* she wailed; "'hide me. I have run away/ "'But why, my dear?' I asked. *What have you run away from ?'': " 'Something terrible has happened,' she answered. 'Cousin Jane and I were alone in the house last night. We went to bed early, for I was tired; I had walked far in the country during the day., I fell asleep and began to dream. The night was a moonlight one, and the light of the moon streamed into my room. In my dream a man came into my room, took up a knife of mine, laid it down again, stared hard at me and went out. A great horror seized me, for it seemed that I knew the man and that his face was quite familiar. I awoke, and there was no one there—I called out, but there Was no answer. The room was empty save for myself; After a time I dropped asleep again. In the morning I rose early, and went Into my cousin's room. Mother, she was id. She had been r&urdefed in^the. Borne one ha had completely unnerved her, and she scarcely knew what she was doing. Two hours later the police came; they had little difficulty in tracing her, and arrested my child on the charge of having murdered Miss Jane Stuart of Heath Cottage, Westchester, During the trial everything went against Susanna. I had the very best legal advice that money could procure. My lawyer asked her about her curious dream, but she had nothing new to tell him. "'It was a queer and vivid dream,* she would repeat. 'I have certainly seen the man's features before. I know his face quite well, and it was he who laid my knife on the chair.' " 'Were you asleep or awake when you saw him?' Mr. Minchin asked her. " 'I was- asleep,' she said. 'It was only a dream.' "Mr. Minchin had to admit that there was nothing in this dream, and although it was just mentioned at the trial, no stress was laid upon it. Anff my child was declared guilty. She is to be electrocuted on the 5th of December, in less than three weeks' time. Do you believe in dreams, Doctor Halifax?" "There are occasions when dreams seem to prophesy-coming events," I replied. "I am glad to hear- you admit as much. You will be then merciful to my dream. My daughter has dreamed, and so have I. I have dreamed that the murderer is a man, and that he is to be found in the west. I have dreamed that his accusing conscience is driving him mad, and that he will confess if given time. The governor ofJ the state has already refused to grant a reprieve, but he must be appealed to again." "What! on the plea that you have' dreamed a dream, and that your daughter has done the same?" I exclaimed. "You speafc like the others," ehe said slowly. "My lawyer refuses to interfere. Will you do thfe thing for me? I have heard of your goodness of heart, doctor; Burely you will not condemn me to despair?" "I would most readily help you to appeal if there was the slightest chance of success, Mrs. Tankerville," I responded. "But it would be wrong to deceive you—there is none. Dreams are not tangible evidence. Have you nothing further to go upon? What other relations had the murdered woman besides your daughter?" "Some nephews and nieces in California; no one else." "Now, Mrs. Tankerville, I wish you would give me an outline of the evidence for and against your daughter." "There were witnesses to prove that Susanna disliked Miss Stuart from the start," she answered. "The old servant, Peggy by name, gave graphic accounts of her mistress's terrible temper, and the many ways in .; which she tried to curb and annoy Susanna, who was a high-spirited girl. Her final taunt was that Susanna had come to visit her in the hope of inheriting a portion of her money. On one occasion, a few. days before the murder, old Peggy happened to be passing through the room and she heard Miss Stuart say to Susanna that it had been her intention to leave her $100,000 in her will, but that she meant to alter it and had written to her lawyer for that purpose. Susanna's reply to this was a mocking laugh, and she ran out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Miss Stuart turned to the old servant and said: " 'That girl thinks I am not in earnest, but I will prove my words. She shall never have a cent of my money.' "At the Bame time Miss Stuart spoke to old Peggy of her relations in California and said that they would not be forgptten in her will. But the part of the evidence which most strongly pointed to my child's guilt was the following: "Peggy had a daughter in a distant part of the state, who was i l l , although not dangerously so. She wanted to go and see her, and Susanna begged that she might be allowed to remain away for the night Miss Stuart refused; but Susanna pleaded, offering to undertake Peggy's duties in' her absence* Finally?Hiss Stuart insane with terror/ Hitchin went to fetch a doctor and the police. The house was examined, and the garden knife which Susanna had been known to purchase a week back was found in the girl's room on a chair, stained with blood. Then Susanna, disappeared. "Her flight made suspicion doubly strong and her arrest followed. You can see-what a fatal .web-«of< circumstantial evidence was thus woven around my girl. The motive was supposed to be discovered in my daughter's desire to get the old woman out of the world before she altered her will, and the fact that Susanna had a large fortune of her own made no difference in the feelings of judge and jury against her. A l l I ask for is a postponement of the execution, doctor. If I*can secure that, something tells me that my child will ultimately be saved. She must not be executed on the 5th of December. I am obeying an impulse stronger even than maternal love. A voice is commanding me, and I must obey it." "What is the name of the family in California, the relations of the murdered woman?" I asked. "They bear the same name—Stuart, and live in Los Angeles, on the Orange Flower ranch." "What do you know about these people?" "Scarcely anything. After the death the old'lady's papers were read, and there were several from a man named Robert. Each letter contained an earnest appeal for money. The last letter which Miss Stuart must have received six weeke before her death contained an urgent request for $1,000." "Was it granted?" "I do not know. Miss Stuart kept no copies .of her own letters " "Has this family of Stuarts ever been in the East?" "So far as I can tell, no." "Nevertheless," I said, "I believe that it is in the West we must look for the murderer. Mrs. Tankerville, my opinion is not worth much, but as far as it goes I am with you heart and soul. Your child never killed' Miss "Stuart A girl such as you describe daily prepared for an important experiment, which you would not under stand. In an ordinary case It would give typhoid of the very worst type." "You must pardon me, doctor," she said. "I am unstrung, nervous, and hardly know what I am doing or saying. I did not know all that when I tried to take the bottle. And now I must go. I thank you for your kind sympathy." When she had gone I sat down to think matters over. The woman was a widow, and. the child awaiting a shameful death was her only one. The innocent child—for I felt that she was innocent—had aroused 'my keenest sympathy. There seemed to be no way out of the trouble, but T could .not rest until I had gone to Westchester and looked over the scene of the crime. It was all useless groping in the dark, but I felt impelled to do something, anything that might have some bearing on the case. Like Mrs. Tankerville, it seemed as though I were obeying the command of .an unseen power. When I had forwarded the telegram to Los Angeles I boarded a train for Westchester. It ramed heavily when I got there, and I put up at a hotel, intending to stay over night and visit the cottage in the mornjng. I did so, but my examination of the inside and outside of the premises yielded no information calculated to throw a new light on the mystery. I questioned a red-haired man who was acting as caretaker. He was willing enough to discuss the tragedy, but I derived no particular benefit from his conversation* I also interviewed the servant, old Peggy, and the man Hitchen, but learned nothing more than had been made public by their testimony at the trial. Having discovered nothing I returned to the city to be met with the information that a burglary had been committed on my premises the previous night. Some plate and a sum of money had been removed from my consulting room. My cabinets had been burst open, and many of my surgical instruments thrown about. The thieves had entered through one T h e ~ content* of that bottle a p e l l D e a t h ! " your daughter to be would be incapable of such an act. Now, I have a proposal to make. I want to telegraph these California Stuarts, Please give me the exact address cf the cottage, and your daughter's age." "Tbe name of the cottage is Heath Cottage, Westchester. My girl was nineteen on the 10th of last month." "Do you happen to know the hour fixed for the execution?" "Eight o'clock in the morning." I wrote a telegram as follows: "Stuart, Orange Flower R? nch, Los Angeles, California. Susanna Tankerville, aged nineteen, is to be executed at eight o'clock in the morning, on the fifth of December, for the murder ,of Jane Stuart, of Heath Cottage, Westchester. Evidence to save her life earnestly requested." "It won't do any good," said Mrs. Tankerville, sadly, when 1 showed her the message, "but send.it, if you want to. There must be another way, and I believe I have found l t Dr. Halifax, Providence brought me here.

So far the police had been unable to secure a clue to the thieves. Days passed—my money and plate were still missing, but my mind was too full of Mrs. Tankerville and her daughter to trouble much over the matter. No response had been received to my telegram to California. At last the fourth of December arrived. About three o'clock in the afternoon Mrs. Tankerville made her appeaiance. Her eyes were bright and eager, but her face looked more drawn and white than ever. "Dr. Halifax," she burst out impetuously, "I have something to confess to you. First of all, you know that the execution is fixed to take place in the morning at eight o'clock. But judge, jury, governor, chaplain, warders may all be nonplussed, for a greater than they interferes. Doctor, my child lies at death's door. She is dying of virulent poison, and I gave it to her. When I last visited you, and you had left the room for a short while, I read that paper of yours. The Information I thus obtained drew my^ attention to tbe little bottle on your table. I slipped it into my pocket You came back and I was foolish enough to tell you what I had done. itym snatched the bottle from me and ~ ~ ed it; tm.

So we took some of your plate and money. But your property is safe and will be returned to you in a day or two. The only thing you will lose will be the little bottle, for its contents are working their own mischief, also their salvation, in the body of my child. ^1 bad learned enough from your manuscript what to do. I took the bottle to my child, and when the keeper's back was turned, I told her by means of the deaf and dumb alphabet exactly what to do. She followed my directions implicitly. In a very few days my girl got ill. She became delirious, was removed to the prison hospital and placed in a ward alone. Dr. Hudson, the prison doctor, pronounced her case enteric of a severe type. Tomorrow is the day fixed for the execution, and up to vhe present I ha-ve heard no word of its postponement. Something must be done, and you must do it. A girl, delirious, almost, unconscious, cannot be dragged toW the electric chair. It would not bn decent. A l l America would rise up and cry out at such an outrage. You must come with me to the Tombs, see the apparently dying girl, and interview the prison dofctor. You won't refuse?" "No," I said, "I will come." Half an hour later we were within the gloomy precincts of the Tombs. Mrs. Tankerville was admitted to the hospital to see her daughter, and a warder, having taken my card to the prison doctor, showed me into the latter's private apartment. Dr. Hudson was a tall, slight man, quite young, with an eager face and kindly eyes. "How do you do, Dr. Halifax," he g toj his hand. "Off reputation, and am pleased to meet you. Is there anything I can do for you?" "Yes," I replied. "My object in coming here is to see a prisoner named Susanna Tankerville. J am the mother's friend in this terrible business. Is it possible for me to see her?" "The girl is practically dying," answered Hudson. "Not that it makes much difference, for she is to be executed at eight in the morning." "|Jut surely such a sentence cannot be carried out on a dying girl?" "As far as that goes, all those unfortunates condemned to death are dying," he responded. "But 1 admit that I have been much troubled over this affair. More than a week ago the disease declared itself as enteric. She is very ill indeed tonight." "In that case a wire to the governor would surely insure a postponement of the execution." "It .would only be postponement, remember," said Hudson. "As soon as the unfortunate girl is well enough she will be taken to the place of execution and the extreme penalty of the law will take effect." "May I see her?" I asked. "It is unusual, but I cannot-object." He led the way at once, and in a few moments I stood at the bedside of the dying girl. Mrs. Tankerville was kneeling beside her. The face of the unconscious patient was white, the cheeks were sunken, the temples hollow, but the long lashes, black as jet, the thick black hair, pushed away from the delicate forehead, the contour of the lips, told me that in her hour of health her beauty must have been considerable. I took her hand and felt her pulse. I noted the temperature chart which hung on the wall above her head. Hudson's eyes followed the direction of mine. "She has been in a comatose condition for the past two hours," he whispered. Wt were both about to leave the room when a movement in the bed caused us to turn back. The girl had opened her eyes. She looked full at Mrs. Tankerville, and spoke distinctly: "Mother, I remember. At last, mother, I remember. That man I dreamed about, I know who he is now. Look in the album—his photograph is there—the man from the West." The last words were almost inaudible. The brief period of unconsciousness was merged into a deeper* lethargy. I took Hudson's arm and led him from the room. "You must wire at once," I said. "You cannot by any possibility allow that execution to take place in the morning. That girl has found a memory which she had lost. This may mean nothing or everything. But de- Jay is of consequnece. Her illness has earned it for her; let her have i t " "I will telegraph the governor at once through the warden," he answered. He left me for a few minutes, and then returned to say that the message had been forwarded to Albany, and that an answer could be looked for shortly, with the certainty that a postponement would he granted. He had scarcely finished speaking when Mrs. Tankerville, her eyes alight with excitement, rushed into the room. "Susanna has said those words again," she exclaimed, "and I believe they mean a great deal. I am going at once to Westchester and visit Heath Cottage. I want to confirm my child's words. She spoke of a photograph. There is an album in Miss Stuart's little drawing room. The photograph she refers to must be there." , I nodded encouragingly. "You are X said. "Go, and may Heaven our errand.'' ; ' erward the reply to the 'And now," I said, as I bandetMfce- «8 once, "It is her/ message back to Hudson, "we have something to work for. '%pu know lor a long time that we burje hoped to find antidotes to all those bacilli which destroy life. For some we have already found them; but not yet for the typhoid bacilli. And yet beyond a doubt such an antidote exists, I mean one that will destroy typhoid bacilli without injuring the life of the -victim. Now, for some time I have been experimenting with this partjjcu* lar matter in view. I have lately cultivated a bacillis to which I have not yet given a name, which I believe will kill the typhoid poison without hurting the patient. I brought a bottle of the prepared serum with me. X should like, with your permission, to experiment on the victim." Hudson agreed eagerly. I had appealed successfully to the scientiflo side of the man. He realized that lt might be the lot of Susanna Tankerville, even in dying, to bestow a boon on t h e f i p ^ world. With his aid I introduced Ihe new bacilli into the girl's system. During the rest of that night Hudson and I watched by her bedside. By almost every known means and stimulants we kept death at bay. It would be several hours bo» fore the injection would take effect Our object was to keep the patient in the land of the living during those hours. The night gave place to dawn, and dawn to broader daylight. Eight o'clock boomed from the prison bell. The poor girl was still in a state of collapse. Suddenly the nurse entered. "Will you go downstairs at Dr. Halifax?" she whispered, urgent." "Go, Halifax; I will watch said Hudson. As I was turning to leave the room I saw a streak of red on the girl's pale cheek. She opened her eyes and looked around her. "Where am I? What has happened?" she asked feebly. I nodded triumphantly to Hudson, "She has taken a turn for the better," I said, and went downstairs. A warder met me and led the way to Hudson's apartment. There I found Mrs. Tankerville and a man, who waa standing by the window. Mrs. Tankerville came to meet, me. "But for the fever my innocent child would be out of the world now,** she said. "Look, Dr. Halifax." In her hand she held an old-fashioned photographic album. It was open. She pointed to a* cabinet photo of a man of small stature ALC4 fair face. Underneath it was nrittrri, in the neat handwriting of Miss Stuart: "My nephew, Robert Stuart, of California." At the same moment the man by the window came forward into the 'ight, and I started in surprise. Feature for feature, his was the same face as that in the photograph. "This.was the photograph to which Susanna alluded last night," said the mother. "And here is the_man—Robert Stuart, of California. He has told me his story. Let him tell it to you now." - The man was trembling violently. His lips twitched convulsively, and finally he spoke in jerky accents: "The execution has been deferred; otherwise 1 should have been "too late, lt was your telegram that did fof, me. My conscience didn't trouble me much until that came. Then the d e w ils of remorse began to whisper in my ears. They nearly drove me mad.

At first I thought I was discovered, but then I saw that she waa looking at me in her sleep. Her garden knife lay on a chair. I smeared the blade with blood, left it there and went away. I tramped to the next station to Westchester and boarded"a train for the West. I reached CalV fornia in safety. Nobody suspected me, and as I avoided reading tbe papers, I knew nothing about the consequences of my own action. On the day that the telegram came, I received* a letter from Mrs. Stuart's lawyer, saying that I was entitled through my cousin's death to a large fortune. But that telegram finished me. I have known no rest from the mocking devils since, and I have come to give my* self up." ' " I caught Mrs. Tankerville's out*, stretched hands in mine and pressed them warmly.

I therefore resolved to, try the rightside, though not without misgivings, on ac- *count of the snow slopes and forbidding-looking ^precipices. I concluded that if I succeeded in -tracking this right side that I should be able to work roimd and above the sheep. After wait- Sng for an hour, the fine .beasts made things somewhat easier for me by feeding down and behind a s k a l l ro*fcy point.

I congratulated myself on thus getting a second chance, and watched them as they went "stiltily" along, in the way they move when scared. At length the procession stopped, and they lay down on the steep side of the slope, from whence they commanded the whole of the valley. Off I went again, over huge, sharp boulders of broken rock; but I was soon held up on coming to a large open patch of deep snow. There was nothing for it but to wait patiently and make myself as comfortable and warm as possible among the boulders. After an hour or so, about 1:30 p. m., they rose, stretched themselves, scanned the whole country-side, and again moved slowly off, away to the north. They were evidently in a nervous mood. Following them, after a while I crossed the snow patch, ploughing through the snow, which ln places was up 'to my middle, and following in the deep tracks of the herd. It was stiff work, and was followed by a still stiffer climb to the top of a razor-backed ridge. This I descended, the rams still in view. The ground here was quite open; but wild sheep usually look for dagger from bejpw, and I remained unnoticed. They finally disappeared slowly round the Blope of a high rounded hill, about eight hundred yards ahead. T quickly started eff to gain the crest of this hill, hoping to intercept the game, but was doomed to further disappointment. There was not a sign of them. My aneroid here registered eleven thousand feet, and we had reached the highest part of the downs. A cold wind was now blowing, mists came rolling up out of the valleys and it looked like snow.' Taking up a couple of holes in my belt and a pull at my flask, I follbwed along the north face of the mountain. Avoiding the patches of soft snow, in which t noticed the marks ot sheep's hoofs, suddenly1 on the opposite side, and some way below, I saw my five old friends, evidently bent on shifting their quarters still further to the' weBt. They must have got my wind. Clouds occasionally hid me from the sheep, so, under cover of these, ^ determined to make a dash back for less open ground, and to mcve down and try to get ln a shot.

Leaving camp at 4:30 one morning, shortly before dawn, the t w « hunters and I had not been long at work when the Kalmuk pulled up short, but too late, for we had been seen first by a flock of nine ramsy who were taking their early feed on the side of a steep ravine. Off they went, towards higher ground, but 1¾ no great haste. Riding up to the ricjge along which they had disappeared, we dismounted, and seen viewed them again. They were some distance off, feeding on an open slope, which appeared tfo be secure from attack; but there was one weak spot. After scanning the herd and noticing three or four good heads among them, I started off with Husein to stalk.. A warm job i t proved, up that steep, loose shale slope, and the pace was perforce 6iow. At length we made the crest, and took it easy to study the situation. The wind, though light, was^ shifty, but' all seemed well, for the herd were busy feeding. They were what appeared to be about one hundred and fifty yards oft, but on a slope somewhat below us. The difficulty was to select the finest head, for to raise eneks self more than enough to just peep over would have soon ended matters. Under such circumstances one is always apt to be. Received as to which head is going to beat previous records! The question, however, was brought to an abrupt conclusion by the herd getting their heads up and beginning to look suspicious. In another second they would have been off, so, taking a quick aim, I fired at the chest of what looked like tlte largest, as be stootl head towards me. A rush and a stampede ensued across the soft face of the steep slope below us. Tbe animals were so bunched up that it was impossible to pick out the largest, and the r ^ u U of my three shots was to bowl over a moderate-sized one only. The herd then disappeared at racing speed, and' when next seen they were in the big valley a long way be low. We descended and cut up the dead sheep. This finished, and the old Kalmuk carrying thfc head over his shoulders, we rode off round the. slopes after the herd, eventually pulling up.and dismounting at the end of a long spur. Here, while on the look-out, we suddenly saw the herd, now only seven in number, come bolting back towards us, evidently disturbed in their flight by' my fellow-sportsman, who just then appeared on the top of the mountain.

The scene at the opening of the story ls laid in the library of an old worn-out southern plantation, known as tbe Bar- ,ony. The place is to be sold, and its history and that -of the owners, the Quintards, is the subject'of discussion by Jonathan Crenshaw, a business man, a stranger known as Bladen, and Bob 'Yancy, a farmer, when Hannibal Wayne Hazard, a mysterious child of the old southern family, makes his appearance. Yancy tells how he adopted the boy. Nathaniel Ferris buys the Barony, but the Quintards deny any knowledge ot the :boy. Yancy to keep Hannibal.

"So your Bister doesn't like me, Tom—that's on your mind this morning, is it?" Murrell was saying. "Make it worth my while and I'll take her off your hands," and Murrell laughed. Tom favored him with a sullen stare. , There was a brief silence, during which Murrell studied his friend's iface. When he spoke, It was to give the conversation a new direction. "Did she bring the boy here last night? I saw you drive off with him In the carriage." "Yes, she makes a regular pet of tbe little ragamuffin." "Is the boy going to stay at Belle Plain?" inquired Murrell. J "That notion hasn't struck her yet, for I heard her say at breakfast that she'd take him to Raleigh this afternoon." v i 4 Thafs the boy I traveled all the way to North Carolina to get for Fentress." "Eh—you don't say?" cried Ware. "Torn, what do you know,about the Qulntard lands; what do you know about Qulntard himself?" continued Murrell. VHe was a rich planter; lived in i North Carolina. My father met him when he was in congress and got him to invest in land here. They had 'some colonization scheme on foot— this was upward, of twenty years ago —but nothing came of i t Qulntard lost interest." , "And the land?" "Oh, he held on to that." "Qulntard has been dead two years, Tom, and back yonder in North Carolina they told me he left nothing but the home plantation. The boy lived there up to the time of Qulntard's death, but what relation he was to the old man no one knew. Offhand, Tom, I'd say that, by getting hold of the boy Fentresa expects to get hold of the Qulntard land.1 1 •That's likely," said Ware; then struck by a sudden idea, he added, "Are you go^ng to take, all the risks and let him pocket the cash? If it's the rand he's' afteY; the stake's big enbhgfr to drride." u "H* can bave the; whole thing and welcome.

"Well, how about the girl, Tom?" asked Murrell at length. "Listen to me, Tom. I'll take her away, and Belle Plain is yours-+land, stock and niggers!" said Murrell. Ware shifted and twisted In his seat "Do you want the land and the niggers? I reckon you'll have to take them whether you want them or not, for I'm going to have the girL" C H A P T E R XIII. Bob Yancy Finds Himself. Mr. Yancy awoke from a long dreamless sleep; heavy-lidded, his eyes slid open. For a moment he struggled with the odds and ends of memory, then be recalled the tight at the tavern, the sudden murderous attack, the fierce blows Slosson had dealt him, the knife thrust which had ended the struggle. Therefore, the bandages that now swathed his head and shoulders; therefore, the need that he should be up and doing—for where was Hannibal? Suddenly a shadow fell obliquely across the foot of his narrow bed, and Cavendish, bending his long body somewhat, thrust his head in at the opening. He found himself looking into a pair of eyes that for the first time in many a long day held the light of consciousness. "How are you, stranger?" he demanded, in a soft drawl. "Where am I?" The words were a whisper on Yancy's bearded lips. "Well, sir, you are in the Tennessee river fo' certain. Polly! you jest step here." But Polly had heard Cavendish speak, and the murmur of Yancy's In her wake •» came Connie with the baby, and the three little brothers who were to be accorded the cherished privilege of seeing the poor gentleman eat. Cavendish presented himself at the tfpenlng that did duty as a door. "This looks like bein' alive, stranger," he commented genially. "You-all ain't told me yo* name yet?" said Yancy. "It's Cavendish. Richard Keppel Cavendish." "My name's Yancy—Bob Yancy." Mr. Cavendish ' exchanged glances with Mrs. Cavendish. "Stranger, what Fna again* to tell you, you'll take as beln' said man to man," he began, with the Impressive air of one who had a secret of great moment to Impart "Ever • hear tell of lords?" "No." Yancy was quick to notice the look of disappointment on the faces of his new friends. ^4Are you ever heard of royalty?" and Cavendish fixed the Invalid's wandering glance. s "You mean kings"?* "I shore do." . • Yancy made a mighty, mental effort. •There's them Bible kings—" he ventured at length. Mr. Cavendish shook his head. "Them's sacred kings. Are you familiar with any of the profane kings, Mr. Yancy?" "Well, taking them as they come, them Bible kings seemed to average pretty profane." Yancy was disposed to defend this point "You must a heard of the kings of England. Sho', wa'n't any of yo' folks in the war agin' him?" "I'd plumb forgot, why my daddy fit all through the war!" exclaimed His Pace Went White and the Book Slipped From His Fingers; hard VtSB^sV - voice in reply. Now her bead appeared beside ber husband's. "La, you are some better, ain't jftm* alrt? ss^srtsfr. fmU1ngndi»»vea Yancy. The Cavendishes were immensely relieved. "Now you-all keap^stttl," said Cavendish.,"! want M r . Yancy should get tbe straight of this here! Tbe varies of royalty are kings, dukes, ^ifrds. Barls is tbe*third beap» but lords "My grandfather said he never knpwed a man with the same aversion agin labor as his father had. Folks put it down to laziness, but they misjudged him, as come out later, yet he never let on. "Then one day he got his bands on a paper that bad come . acrost In a ship from England. A l l at once, be lit on something In the paper, and he started up and let out a yell like he'd been shot. 'By gum, I'm the Earl ot Lambeth!' he says, and took out to the nearest tavern and got b l l l n ' full. Afterward he showed 'em the paper and they seen with their own eyes where Richard Keppel Cavendish, Earl of Lambeth, had died in London. My great grandfather told 'em that was his uncle; that when he left home there was several cousins—but they'd up and died, so the title come to him. He never done a lick cf work after that. "I'm an orphan man of title now and It's been my dream to take Polly and the children and go back to England and see tbe king about my title. Don't you reckon he's got the notion "the Cavendishes has petered out?" Mr. Yancy considered this ijkely. The furious shrieking of a steampacket's whistle broke* in upon them. "It's another of them hawgs, wantin* all the river!" said Mr. Cavendish, and fled to the steering oar. C H A P T E R XIV. The Judge Sees a Ghost. Charley Norton's good offices did not end when he had furnished Judge Price with a house, for Betty required of him that he should supply that gentleman with legal business as well. Thus it happened that kludge Price, before he had been three days in Raleigh, received a civil note from Mr. Norton asking him to search the title to a certain timber tract held by one Joseph Quaid. The judge, powerfully excited, told Mahaffy he was being understood and appreciated. The immediate result of Norton's communication had been to send the judge up the street to the court house. He would show his client that he could be punctual and painstaking. Entering the court house, he found himself in a narrow hall. He entered the county clerk's office. He was already known to this official, whose name was Saul, and he now greets^ htm. "A little matter of business brings me here, sir," began the judge, with a swelling chest and mellow accents. "I am In some haste to look up a title for my client, Mr. Norton." Mr. Saul scrambled up out of the depths of his chair and exerted himself in the judge'* behalf. "This is what you want, sir. Better take the ledger to the window, the light in here ain't much." He drew forward a chair as he spoke, and the judge, seating himself, began to polish his spectacles with great deliberation. "You've set on the bench, sir?" suggested Mr. Saul. "In one of the eastern counties, but my inclination has never been toward the Judiciary." He was turning the leaves of the ledger as he spoke. Suddenly the movement of his hand was arrested. "Found it?" asked Mr. Saul, But the Judge gave him no answer; he was staring down at the open pages of the book. "Found the entry?" repeated Mr. Saul. "Eh—what's that? No—" he appeared to hesitate* "Who ls this man Qulntard r "He's tbe owner of a hundredthousand- aere tract in this and abutting counties," said Mr. Saul. "Who bas charge of tbe land?" "Colonel Fentress; he was old General Ware's law partner. I've beard it was tbe general who got this man Qulntard to make tbe investment, but that was before my time." The judge lapsed into silence. A step sounded In tbe narrow hall. An Instant later tbe door was pushed open, and grateful for any interruption that would serve to take Mr. Saul's attention from himself, tne judge abruptly turned bis back on the clerk and. began to examine the record before him.

It seemed to come out thick and sticky on his head, while on the other parts of his body it was more like water coming out of the skin. He would scratch until the eruption would be all covered with blood and gradually spread. The least little stir or rub would cause the sores to bleed, spread and Itch. Never had a full night's sleep, restless all night. '"The sores were horrid to look at. It lasted until he was about two and a half years old. Then we saw an eczema advertisement in the paper to u 8 e , but it did no good. Then we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

MOST COSTLY AND VERBOSE DJ^J LIBERATIONS IN T H E HISTORYOF T H E UNITED STATES. ' VETOES BY PRESIDENT T A F T M A R K E D COURSE. The Expenditures Wilt Foot Up Over a Billion Dollars—-Last Session's Expenditures Were $ V 026,000,000. Another session of congress passed into history Saturday night. Despite promises of retrenchment in public expenditures the house, in conjunction with the senate, managed to run up appropriations far in excess of the billion dollar mark. At tbe last session of congress, expenditures footed up to $1,026,000,- 000, The house leaders have not yet given out .their figures, but they claim the appropriations chargeable to them will be just a little over a billion. However, It may reach a much greater total. . , . .-¢, . ' Kept Long After Midnight. Congress was kept in session until long after midnight because of Senator L a Follette's insistence that a vote must be taken on the Penrose campaign contribution fund resolution, lt required a Quorum to adjourn in the face of an objection and this could not be secured for several hours. The situation was most unusual. The session was long on conversation. The printed record will embrace about 26,000,000 words, covering 13,000. pa_gest. £he- senators^ and representatives^ "who~ compfisT tli^ present house and senate will go ifiwn in histQry as the most verbose statesmen of ail time* The nearest competitor waB the first session of the fiftieth congress, the members of which contributed millions of words and filled .9,¾¾¾ pages. Th$ session also was a recordfe^ aker in the number of bills pre- 'sehlfed. Nearly 3G.000 bills of various sorts were introduced. Of this number the house contributed 26,000 and the senate the remainder. . A great proportion of these bills slumber in committee rooms and- will never be heard, from airain. Few Constructive Laws Made. With the exception of the bill providing a form of government for the Panama canal zone and prescribing regulations for the conduct of the waterway, the session has been devoid of constructive legislation on a large scale. Big Issues have been debated, but without result. This was due in large part to tbe iact that the house and senate are antagonistic politically. Much of the time of the house was devoted to the consideration of tariff bills prepared by the Democrats. Six such bills were put through the house. They were all passed by the senate. Two of them were sent to the president and vetoed. None of them reached the statute books. With the veto of the wool and steel bills the D 2 m o c r a t s abandoned hope of teriff revision. President Taft has set his face against revision, where revision does not conform with conclusions based on scientific inquiry in advance. Labor Legislation Failed. The house passed several bills affecting labor which failed of consideration in the senate. Chief among these - is the Clayton bill providing for jury trials in cases of indirect contempt, the Clayton anti-injunction bill and the Sulzer bill proposing the creation of a department of labor. The session was prolific of vetoes by the president. He wrote his disapproval on at least 11 bills including the wool, and steel tariff bills and the. legislative bill which was vetoed twice. Taft Signs Canal Bill. President Taft signed the Panama canal bill at 7:10 o'clock Saturday night. Following this he sent to congress a memorandum, suggesting tnp advisability of the passage of a resolution which would declare that this measure was not considered by this government a violation of the treaty provisions regarding the canal. In discussing the British protest against the exemption of American shipping from the payment of tolls for the use of the canal, Mr. Taft says,the infesistible conclusion to be drawn from it is that "although the United States owns, controls and has paid for the canal, it is restricted by treaty from aiding Its own commerce ln the way that all the other nations of the world may freely do.'^ SHERMAN NOTIFIED Home Maccabee association has been £hang ed from Sept. 3, % 5, to Sept 11, 12, 3 at Traverse City. Three hundred horses belonging, (o farmers tn-&e8s county, Kansas, have died during the last week from s malady that is puzzling veterinarians. Local experts who have been called in declare the horses have contracted a form of mold from eating grass that sprang up rank following .recent heavy rains. The mold, if that is what it is, causes paralysis of the throat muscles a&4 congestion of the brain. . *>» -—- - — . — — wn of Vice-President Ce.Iees Elaborately for Him, VJ$eJPresidont/< Sherman^ was fpK mally notified on Tuesday at his home in Utica, N .

Qeorge Sutherland, at the head of the notification party, delivered the address. • The celebration jncident to the notl- 'fication of Mr.-Sherman -was the' most elaborate affair ever staged in Utica, and cost many thousands of dollars, subscribed by local citizens who have been -inspired by civic pride and a desire to fittingly observe the high honpr ponferred on the city's foremost son. Aside from the fac* that the notification pereinony ilfeeif was a Republic can function, there was nothing in the huge celebration of a partisan nature. The festivities started with an elaborate carnival parade" participated in by organizations from Syracuse, Oneida, Canistota, Rome and local people. William Houtz, nearly blind, was electrocuted when he stepped on a live wire which had fallen in a busk ness street during an electrical storm in Toledo. T H E M A R K E T S .

Pontiac—The carelessness of a conductor and a gate keeper at the Grand Trunk crossing on West Huron street endangered the lives of the car crew and ten passengers on a. loop car.

Just then the keeper.saw the train was nearly upon the crossing and lowered the gates. The motorman couldn't stop, so he threw on i l l the current and crashed through the gates and across the track, missing the freight car by inches.

Complaint was made to Mayor Zelinsky and he was asked by W. R. Wooden to revoke the license. ThlB move was made -after the chiefs refusal to touch the matter. Hastings.—Charged with going on the warpath against pigs owned by Charles Mahoney, his neighbor, Ardean Youngs of Barry township has been arrested. Mahoney claims that when he returned home recently he missed two valuable sows, one of which he afterwards found dead and the other wounded. They had-been shot and he accuses Youngs, stating that the act was the result of a family grudge. Youngs was bound over to circuit court.

' The mast was hauled out of thewoods on one strong sled, whether! i n winter or summer, and so many o$en were required that the hind pair were-, often choked in crossing a hollow, being hung up in their yoke by'lhe pulling of those ahead of them. A mast hauling was a great event,, and everybody within walking distance came to see it. A Word to the Wise. The proverbial advice, "Cobbler,, stick to*1 your last," had an opposite exemplification in the following anecdote, for which Zion's Advocate is responsible. A colored man was brought before a police judge, charged with stealing, chickens. He pleaded guilty, and received sentence, when the judge asked how it was he managed to lift thosechickens right, under the window of their owner's house when there was a dog in the yard. "Hit wouldn't be of no use, judged said the culprit, "to try to 'splain dis : thing to you all. Ef you was to try it, like as not you would git yer hide full o' shot, an' git no chickens, neither. Ef you want to engage in any rascality, judge, yo' bettah stick to de bench, whar yo' am familiar." B a r b e r S h o p s i n C h i n a . Since the Chinese revolution a great many Chinese have had their cues cut off, and this has led to the opening of a large number of barber shops throughout the far east wherever Chinese are located, says an exchange. Several progressive business men of Singapore, anticipating this, imported a large number of American barber chairs, and they are now unable to get supplies quickly enough. It has also been learned that the Chinese insist on having American hair clippers, and refuse all other makes offered It would seem that American manufacturers of barbers' supplies should experience a large increase in their Oriental trade. The fcennlbals Need Food. An officer of the French colonial" army brought a letter from the chief of a group of missionaries in the southern islands of the Pacific not long ago, which winds up as follows: "I regret to tell you that our little company can do little against the fanaticism of these poor wretches. Moreover, famine is ravaging the country, for the harvest has been destroyed. Therefore the dispatch of" more missionaries has become urgent."— La Petite Republique. The Natural inference.

He did not know that Women have learned through centuries of weakness that fine art ot concealment which man has never mastered. She never let him see what she thought of him. Yet he was not without suspicion; if that suspicion grew to certainty, would he control tiimself then? At first he had sought to keep out of her way, but she had compelled him to come in. The room that was kitchen and bed room and store room for him was cheerless and somewhat cold. Save at night or when he was busy with other tasks outside they lived togethed in the great room, It was always warm, it was always bright, it was always cheerful, there. The llt&e piles of manuscript she had note*4 were books that he had .written. He made no effort t o conceal such things from her. He talked frankly enough about his life in t h e hills, indeed there was no possibility of avoiding the discussion of such topics. On but two subjects was h e inexorably silent. One was the present state of his affections and t h e jother was the why and wherefore^ of hislonery life. She knew beyond peradventure that he loved her, but Bhe had no faint suspicion even as to the reason why he had become a recluse! tie had never given her the slightest clew to his past save that admission that he had known Kirkby which was In itself nothing definitive and which she never connected with that package of letters which she still kept with her. The man's mind was too active and fertile to be satisfied with manual labor alone, the books that he had written were scientific treatises in the main. One was a learned discussion of the fauna and flora of the mountains. Another was an exhaustive account of the mineral resources and geological formations of the range. He had only to allow* a whisper, a suspicion of his discovery of gold and silver in the mountains to escape him, and the canons and crests alike would be filled with eager prospectors. Still a third work was a scientific analysis of the water powers in the canons. He had willingly allowed her to read .tbem all. .Much of them' she found technical and, aside from the fact that he had written them, uninteresting. But there was one book remaining in which he simply diseased Ae-mountains in the7 various' eeasons of the year; when the snows covered them, when the grass and the (moss came again, when the flowers (bloomed, wbon autumn touched the trees. There waa the soul of the jknan, poetry expressed in, pj^sei ftan-; Aikebut none the les^pc^Btry for that. This book pored over, she questioned $im about it; they discussed i t as they disclosed Keats and the other poets. on one- side of .the fire sewing, her Anger wound with cloth t% hold his giant thimble, fashioning for herself; gome winter garments put, ot a ,gay; colored, red, white and black ancient v and exquisitely woven Navajo blanket, sort and pliable almost as ah oldtobloaedv piece of satin—priceless if the had but known it^fpoh be put at her disposal While on^he other; side of the same homely, blase he made for ber out of the skins of some of fte animal* that he had killed, a shapeless foot covering, half moccasin and wholly leggin, 'which she could wear over her shoes JQ, her short excursions arouhd^tbe plateau and which would keep her feet warm and comfortable. , By her permission he smoked as he. worked, enjoying the hour, putting aside the past and the .future and for *r few in^nanxs..hUssfully content Sometimes he laid aside his pipe and whatever work he was engaged upon and read to her from some immortal noble number. Soflaotfmes jttie entertainment fell to he*'and she sang to M m In her, glorious contralto voice music that*-made hfth sad. Once he could atand it no longer. A t the end* tie room—he had risen to his t while she .sang, compelled to the erect position by the magnificent melody— as the last notes died away and she smiled at him triumphant and expectant of his praise and his approval, he hurled himself out of the room and into the night, wrestling for Jiours with the storm which after all was but a trifle to that which raged in his bosom. While she, left alone and deserted, quailed within the silent room till she heard him come back. Often and often when she slept quietly on one side the thin partition, he lay awake on the other, and sometimes his passion drove him forth to cool the fever, the fire in his soul in the icy, wintry air. The struggle within him preyed upon him, the keen 'loving ej?e of the woman searched his fade, scrutinized him, looked into -his heart, saw what was there. She determined to end it, deciding that he must confess his affectioKa. She had no premonition of the truth and no consideration of any evil consequences held her back. She could give free range to her love and her devotion. She had the ordering of their lives and she had the power to end the situation growing more' and more impossible. She fancied the matter easily terminable. She thought she had only to let him see her heart in such ways as a maiden may, to bring Joy to his own io make him speak. She did not dream of the reality. One night, therefore, a month . or more after she had come, she resolved to end the uncertainty. She believed the easiest and the quickest way would be to get him to tell her why he was there. She naturally surmised that the woman of the picture, which she had never seen since the first day of her arrival, was in some measure the cause of it; and the only pain she had in the situation was the keen jealousy that would obtrude itself at the thought of that woman. vised her and had helped her* It was a belted tunic that fell to her knees; the red and black stripes ran around it, edged the broad collar, cuffed the warm sleeves and. marked the graceful waist line. It was excessively becoming to her. He had been down into the valley, or the pocket, for a final of a hurst of. song which filled the lftfei;inspection of the burros before the bight, which promised to be severe, fell, and sue had taken advantage of the opportunity to put it on. She knew that she was beautiful; her determination to make this evening count .hja^brought an unusual color to her o S ^ k s , an unwonted sparkle t t f ' b e r ^ i . ' She stood up as she heard him 'ewer the other room, she was standing erect as he came through the door and faced her. He had only seen her in the now somewhat shabby blue of her ordinary camp dress before, and her beauty fairly smote him in his face. He stood before her, wrapped in his fur great coat, snow and ice clinging to it, entranced. The woman smiled at the effect she produced. "Take off your coat," she said gently approaching him. "Here, let me help you. Do you realize that I have been here over a month now? 1 want to have a little talk with you, I want you to tell me something. C H A P T E R XVI. The Kiss on the Hand. "Did it ever occur to you," began . Enid Maitland gravely enough, for she quite realized the serious nature of the impending conversation, "did it ever occur to you that you know practically all about me, while I know practically nothing about you?" The man bowed his head. -=^¥en may have fancied that I was not aware of it, but in one way or another you have possessed yourself of pretty all of my short and, until I met you, most uneventful life," she continued. Newbold might have answered that there was one subject which had been casually introduced by her upon one occasion and to which she had never again referred, but which was to him the most important of all subjects connected with her; and that was th& nature of her relationship to one James Armstrong whose name, although He Steotf—Entranced, She remembered everything that he , he bad heard it but once, he had not bad said to her, and she recalled, tbat be had once mad> ,tbe remark that be would treat her a* he would have his wife treated if/be had one; there' fore whoever a&d Whatever the pic* ture of tbis Woman was,, she was sot hia wife** She might havebeenngome one he <bad loved, but who bad not loved him.

The girl had been frankness itself in following' his deft leads wben^he talked ^1 th her about ber* self, but she had shown the same rai ticence In recurring to Armstrong that he had displayed in questioning ber about him.

Why you wanted to know about me, I am not quite sure." "It was because—" burst but the man impetuously, and then he stopped abruptly and Just ln time. Enid Maitland smiled at him in a way that indicated she knew what was behind the sudden check-he had imposed upon himself. "Whatever your, reason, your curl* oslty—H "Don't call lt that, please." "Your desire then has been gratified. Now it is my turn. I am not even sure about your name. I have seen it in these books and naturally I have imagined that it is yours." "It is mine." "Well, that is really all that I know about you. And now I shall be quite fran^, I want to know more. You evidently have something to conceal* or you would not be living here in this way. I have never asked you about yourself, or manifested the least curiosity to solve the problem you, present, to. find the solution of the mystery of your life." "Perhaps," said the man, "you didn't care enough about it to take the trouble to inquire." \ "You know," answered the girl, "that is not true. I have been consumed with desire to know." " A woman's curiosity?" "Not that," was the soft answer that turned away his wrath. She was indeed frank. There was that in her way of uttering those two simple words t h a t set his pulses bounding. He was not altogether and absolutely blind. "Come," said the girl, extending her hand to him, "we are alone here together. We must help each other. You have helped me, you have been of the greatest cervice to me. I can't begin to count all that you have done for me; my gratitude—" "Only t h a t ? " "But that is all that you have ever asked or expected," answered the young woman in a low voice whose gentle tones did not at all accord with the boldness and courage of the speech. "You mean?" asked the man, Btar- Ing at her, his face aflame. "I mean," answered the girl swiftly, wilfully misinterpreting and turning his half spoken question another way, "I mean that I am sure that trouble has brought you heje. I do not wish to. force your confidence, I have no right to do so, yet I should like to enjoy it; can't you give it to me? i want to help you, 1 want to do my best to make some return for what you have been to me and have done for me." "I ask but one thing," he said quickly. "And what is that?" But again he checked himself. "No/' he said, "I am not free to ask anything of you." And that answer to Enid Maitland was like a knife thrust ln the heart The two had been standing confronting each other. Her heart grew faint within her. She stretched out her hand vaguely as If for support. He stepped toward her, but before he reached her, she caught the back of the chair andv sank -down weakly. That he should be bound and not free had never once occurred to her; she had quite misinterpreted the meaning of his remark. * ; The man did not help her, he could not help her. He Just stood and looked at her. She fought valiantly for self-control a moment or two and then, utterly oblivious to the betrayal of her feelings involved in the question— the moments were too great for consideration of such trivial matters —she faltered. "You mean there is some other woman?" He shook his head la negation. "I don't understand. There was some other woman ?" "Yes." "Where Is she now?" "Dead." "But you said you were not free." He nodded. "Did you care so much for her that now—that now—" "Enid," he cried desperately. "Believe me, 1 never knew what love was until I met you." Tbe secret was out now; It had been known to her long since, but now it was publicly proclaimed. Even a man. as blind, as obsessed, as be could not mistake the joy that i l - luminated her face at this announcement That very joy and satisfaction produced upon him, however, a very different effect than might have been anticipated. Had he been free, \ indeed, be would have swept her to his breast and covered her sweet face With kisses broken by whispered words of passionate endearment. Instead of that he shrank back from her and it was she who was forced to take up the burden of the con versation. "You say that Bhe is dead " she began ln sweet appealing bewilderment, "and that you care so much for me and yet you—" "I am a murderer," he broke out harshly. "There is blood upon my hands, the blood of a woman who loved me and ^hom, boy as I was, I thought that I loved. She was my wife, I killed her." "Great God," cried the girl amazed beyond measure or expectation by this sudden avowal which she had once suspected, and her hand instinctively went to the bosom of her dress where she kept that soiled, water stained packet of letteiw, "are you that man?" "I am the man that did that thing. for me. I don't deserve it, and it started on the last journey. I was going alone again, but she was so U J * happy over my departure; she clung to me, pleaded with me. Implored mo to take her with me, insisted on go> ing wherever" I went, would net be left behind. She couldn't bear me out of her sight, it seemed. I don't know what there was in me to have in* spired such devotion, but I must speak the truth, however it may sound. She seemed wild, crazy about me. I didnt understand it, frankly I didnt know what such love was—then —but I took her along. Shall I not be honest with you? In spite of the attraction physical, I had begun to feel even then tbat she was not the mate ; \ An i * . She SeTTed His H a w a i i d but what do you know?"-he askel|^ quickly, amazed in his turn. "Pld Kirkby, my uncle Robert Mait*f land, told me your story; they said| that you had disappeared from the; haunts of men—" . "And they were right What else was there for me to do? Although innocent of crime, I was blood guVty. I was mad. No punishment could >e visited upon me like that imposed by tbe stern, awful, appalling fact. I swore to prison myself, to have noth» ing more forever to do with mankind or womankind with whom I was unworthy to so associate, to live alone until God took me. To cherish my memories, to make such expiation as I could, to pray daily for forgiveness, I came here to the wildest, the most inaccessible, the loneliest, spot in the range.

I fcnew that the love that bad come Into my heart was the love of which I had dreamed, that everything that bad gone before was nothing, that I had found the one I fancied, no one ever did come but i woman whose soul should mate with you. I was happy after a fashion, or at least content. I had chosen the better part I had work, I could read, write, remember and dream. But you came and since that time life bas been heaven and hell. Heaven because I love you, hell because to love you means disloyalty to the past, to a woman who loved me. Heaven because you are here; I can hear your voice, I can see you, your soul is spread out before me in its sweetness, in its purity; hell because I am false to my determination, to my vow, to tbe love of the past;" "And did you love ber so much; then?1' asked the girl, now fiercely jealous and forgetful of other things for the moment "It's not that." said the man. " i was not much more than a boy, a year or two out of college. 1 had been in tbe mountains a year, this woman lived in a mining camp, she was a fresh, clean healthy girl, her father died and the whole camp fathered her, looked after n o r l a n d all the young men in the range for miles on either side were in love with her. 1 supposed that 1 was too and—well, I won her from the rest, We had been married hut a few months and a part of the time my business as a mining engiaeer had called me away from her. 1 caa remember the da> before wo —¥v.- mine." "And this before I had said a word to you?" "What are words? i;he heart speaks to tbe heart, tbe soul wbigv pers to the soul. And so it was witb us. I had fought for fou, you were mine, mine. My heart sang it as,. I panted and struggled over the^ rocks carrying you. It said the words again and again as I laid you down here in this cabin.

My heart says yes, m * conscience no. ! should despise myself if I were false to the love which my wife bore me, and,how could t offer you a blood stained hand!",. He had drawn very near^ bet while he spoke; she had risen again and the two confronted each other. Hp stretched out his hand as be asked that last question, almost as if he had offered it to her.

Flynn, head of the United States Secret Service i n New York, declares that not a sinr gle gang whose work is ' comparable to that of Andy Bliss and his crowd, the Boscobel coiners, or any one of a dozen gangs that flourished a generation Ago, is operating In the country today.

With this introduction I will let Andy BUss, tbe king Of th* gold coinera, tell his story, just as he told it tope. * STATEMENT OF ANDY BLISS. No man of sense, said Andy, would ever become a tbief, if he would stop for a moment and think. I will admit that there is a fascination in thievery, which grows upon what it feeds, until it is overpowering, and stealing then becomes a habit, the same as tobacco smoking and drinking rum, and it is very hard to break off. But the practical lesson of my life is very clear. I have be eg a thief for forty years, spent twenty years in Jail, made "over $2,000,000 in forgeries, j k n d w e r e r e a d y f o r business countersigng schemes and bank rob- 1 ~ " " " " " r t f , r " ^ * berles, and today I have not a dollar to my name.

I ran not suit him. The money that was made from these rejected dieB would have passed anywhere except among experts, but Billy was in the game to beat experts. In my opinion he had not his equal in the world as an engraver and tool maker. But the fishing was good, and we could afford to live on the fat of th land; so the whims of Billy did not bother us much. If Billy was a crank in his way, he was an angel compared with Frenchy Kline, who was the most mysterious man I ever met, and I have seen a lot of curious specimens. Frenchy was a dangerous fellow to go with, for his manners were so strange that he was sure to attract attention and arouse suspicion. I have known him to go for weeks and never speak a word. He WAS an expert chemist, and could have made a fortune in the business by going on the level, but he preferred to be a crook. There were two things he could do better than any man in the world. He could make genuine paper, for use as money, and a composition of metals which resembled silver and gold so closely that it would require an analysis in the assay office to prove they were spurious. While Billy was making dies, Kline was mixing up pots of metal and turning out bars of yellow gold. Billy finally finished his dies, and then had t i e parts of a stamping machine built In different foundries and machine shops. We brought the sections to Ravenswood on our truck, and they were put together in a barn on the place. W e g o t an engine and boiler to run the stamping machine, But very few people ever passed the old house, and we were just as safe in our work as if we were in a wilderness. It requires a heavy pressure to stamp a coin, and our machinery was not quite as weighty as the machine In* the point, but pur f 1Q Mid $20 coins were' just aJ good as* any that ever left the mint, with the exception that •Impression made, on the front and of the coins was not quite as as the genuine.

They had come to iWishington to do business with me. I left Washington with the gang dis- [fcuised as a negro. There was a reward of $10,000 for my scalp, but I won out easily. I left the train in Newark and drove to New York i n a cab. I kept under cover for a few days in New York, and then moved over to one of the old bouses in Ravenswood, I K I., which had been practically deserted for several years. The .house was near the iwater, and we stuck out the sign of a jftshing club on the mansion, and hired ralpop to give color to the fake. • Then the counterfeiting scheme was •1H at ^motion, Frenchy Kline and jBitty Wallace were.the experts, and (Billy,had expected, to have a die for {either a HQ or A $20 gold piece delivfaced 5 to him in Washington* Failing to get tbjs, he decided to make the $10 and $20 dies himself, and I put up tbe^^oin ior;.tne> tools and to take care ^thagang. k.... ,. . . .., g a die is a very slogr process, naaV*tf*£ad .a dandy tlma f i l i n g ;and flsbi^f While sBilly was ^doing. *be wort.

H * made two dies and ifcrew them away, because they did There never was a job, said Detective Adams, worked in this country, which could match the great gold coin swindle so successfully carried out upon the expert dealers in money in Wall street. No class of people are easier to beat than Wall street men, provided they are met upon their own stamping ground by fearless men who deal with them upon an apparently solid platform. As I recall it, the bogus coin disposed of was worth, face value, about $200,000, and the thieves were kind enough to go in and get the premium upon this sum. The firm which handled the gold i n this city was Wells & Co., and they were above suspicion. The coin was sent to them from Frink & Beaman, an honorable London firm of bankers, and every connection from start to finish had all the marks of a genuine transaction. There was nothing to arouse suspicion except the gold itself, and that was not critically examined at the time, because 4t had been shipped in a perfectly regular manner. Inquiry would probably not have been made into the transaction for a long time if it had not been for the disappearance of Nathaniel Storms, who had completed the transaction with Wells A Co;, and collected the money for the gold. Storms came to this country with the gold and had letters of Introduction equal to the best certificate of character. He represented that he was the agent of a syndicate of foreign capitalists who had been quietly gathering up-all tbe gold they could get hold of in Europe at their own figures, and had got together several millions of dollars which theytintended to put ufjon the American market to get the benefit of the large premium. , When Storms collected the money for Jibe, gold* be made an appointment ito meet Wells & Co. the next day upon a matter of importance; and he did not show up. He was.stopping at jthe old Astor House, and a letter was sent. there by a messenger, who brought back a reply that Storms bad given up his room there in the morning, before be went to Wells ft Co.'s office. H i s baggage consisted only of a handbag, and he took this away with him. It also was learned that What do I care for daffodils, And mornlng-glorlea, too!

The man of the house tiptoes down, to the stair landing and listens. He hears the burglar moving craftily about the living-room. Suddenly the burglar bumps into a cabinet of bric-a-brac and it upsets with a crash. "Good!'; exclaims the man. "Now, just back of you is another cabinet oi that junk. If you'll bump into it, I'll go back to bed^ and allow you to burgle to your heart's content." Storms bad not stopped at the Astor House at all. He hired a room there by the week, but never went to it, and only called at the hotel to get his m a i l Storms had told one of the members of the firm that he had given a dinned to some of his English friends at the Astor House and related some of W l l D U R P . . N E S P 1 T the stories whicb - were told by - W B * X « B B S 5 B S = S = ^ ^ friends of American life. It was considered very strange that Storms, who carried all the marks of -honesty in hi a face and speech, should bave lied about such an unimportant matter; and, considering all the circumstances, a doubt was raised about his veracity in other matters of importance. Several days passed and nothing was heard from Storms. Wells & ,Co. became a bit uneasy and sent a cable to Frink & Beamen, asking for in* formation about the further shipments of gold. Frink & Beamen replied that they did not know anything about shipments of the precious metal, and would be delighted to «find any of it. Then the direct inquiry was made by Wells & Co. of Frink & Beamen if they had not consigned $200,000 to Wells & Co. The answer came back that they had not. This news turned things upside down in Wells & Co.'s establishment. The gold which they had sold had been broken up into smaller packages and pretty widely distributed. Some of the coin was found and it was pronounced genuine by bank experts, but the deep interest of Wells & Co. aroused the suspicion of some of their customers, and they sent several samples to the assay office for analysis. This examination showed that there was practically only a trace of gold on the face of each coin, and the metal was worthless. Then there was the deuce to pay. The customers of Wells & Co. demanded the return of their money and the firm was forced to suspend temporarily. I was called into the case at this juncture and I must confess that it looked like a mountain. A d 1 vices from London showed that all the papers which had been used by Nathaniel Storms in this country had been forged, and the investigation made by W£lls & Co. was just ten days too late. The plot would have been exposed if they had made inquiries concerning Storms at the start. Private letter blanks and Secret marks of identification had been obtained from Frink & Beamen in some way, showing that some one in their employ had been giving information. <• There* was nothing in this coujitry but a good description of Storms. He wore a full beard, and I knew that he would shake this at the first opportunity, so that a description of him was useless. I Was sent to London to work up that end with the Scotland Yard people. I brought them the information about the letter blanks ar>d secret marks, and a watch watf put upon everybody in Frink & Beaman's office. They had twenty clerks working for them, and it took some time to pick up our man. We found a young fellow named Sinclair who had money to burn on $15 a week, and pinched hira. He squealed without delay, and said that he had been induced to give up the secrets of the business by two men who claimed to be Englishmen. They gave him $500 for his work. He heard them call each other Andy and Warry, and this gave the first tip on the gang. I was satisfied that the two men were Andy Bliss and Warry Mc- Gee, both crooks. I learned that the bogus coin had been brought from America on the Cunard line in casks of white lead* and had been returned by the same line. As it had beet arranged that the money should be paid in New York, I knew that it was certain that Warry and Andy would be on board to get their whack, and I came back. I could not imagine who this Storms waB, and my only hold was to keep the .pipes running for Bliss and McGee, ^ h o naturally would not be much alarmed over the robbery for the reason that every end was covered. I knocked around among men and women I knew to be crooked for about a month before I got a good tip. It was in Nat Cunningham's saloon on the Bowery that I overheard a conversation between a couple of bank sneaks, who were telling a friend about a trip they had on Andy Bliss* yacht, and the sport at the fishing club in Ravenswood. ^ It took me a couple of hours in Ravenswood to locate the clubhouse. It was in an old deserted mansion. I went there after dark, and was astonished to hear a regular and very hard thumping in one of the outhouses. I could not see into the place, but I heard the sound of several voices, and when some one came out I caught a glimpse of some moving machinery through a door. I waited till after daylight, and 1 knew that there was crooked work going on, for there was no sHgn of a smoke pipe anywhere. ! I made all my arrangements'for a raid, and the next night I had ten picked men in Ravenswood. I kept tab on the clubhouse and saw that there were at least five'men there. About S o'clock four men^left the clubhouse and went to tbe bank Soon tbe machinery was going, and I went to the barn with five men, leaving the others to watch the house* The men felt so secure that, the barn door had not been locked.

Hall, who retired frem active .service last February, was a West Pointer and the holder of a medal of honor. General Hall entered the military academy in 1864, graduating four years later and being assigned to the Nineteenth infantry as a second lieutenant, i n March, 1869, he was placed on the list of unassigned officer where* he remained until July in that year, when he was assigned to the Fifth cavalry. It was while he was with that regiment that he received l jhis medal of honor. In the fail of 1879 a force of Ute Indians surroundea" a small detachment of regulars i n J the White River country. For three days and three nights the soldiers held off the Indians. Rescue came finally/and the Indians made way before Hhe charge of Colonel Merritt and> his men, who had made a record ride to the aid of the beleaguered-troops. A day or two after the retreat of the Utes Lieutenant William^ B. Weir, ordnance department, and a scout left the camp on a deer hunt. Not long after their departure, Lieutenant Hall with three men were ordered out on a reconnaisance. The lieutenant and his little command circled through the mountains for several hours and in tbe afternoon they heard a succession of 'shots. They struck out for the spot from which the firing came. On rounding the shoulder of the valley Lieutenant Hall saw at a little distance across the open space a band of at least forty Utes. The officer saw that Lieutenant Weir and the scout had been surprised and had taken to a rocky ledge. Lieutenant Hall sent four shots into the ranks of the Utes, making them change their shelter. The lieutenant knew that if he could Between Men. "My Wife hates to see me Spend a stoker on myself. Mine, too. She thinks I would raise a wart to serve as a collar but ton if I tealgr had tbe interest*'* of my family at heart.M Stood Up at Full Length on the Rock. draw the fire of all the Indians at once that Lieutenant Weir and his companion might make a dash toward him while the rifles -of the Indians were unloaded. Lieutenant" Hall stood up at full length on the rock. The Utes saw him and the Indians emptied their rifles at him. Lieutenant Weir and the scout dashed out from their shelter the instant that the Utes had let drive^at Lieutenant Hall. They made half the distance to their comrades before the Indians had reloaded. Then the two dropped behind a rock and waited. The Indians did not again respond to the fire- of Lieutenant Hall's command. Then the lieutenant stood on the rock once more facing the Utes. Lieutenant Weir and the, scout dashed out—but the Indians had learned the trick. One-half of the Indian hand turned their guns at Lieutenant Hall. The other half fired at Weir and the scout, both of whom fell dead, while Lieutenant Hall escaped unharmed. Then they attacked Lieutenant Hall and his three comrades, who retreated slowly from < cover to cover, holding their assailants in check until the shooting was beard at tbe camp and a body of men rode out to the rescue/and the TJtss fled. Lieutenant Hail was given a medal of honor for fys gallantry. All of his service was in the west until appointed an assistant adjutantgeneral with tbe rank ot major in November, 1893.

THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL The Case of tho Anonymoua Latter Writer of Philadelphia ; The reason for the prevalence of the anonymous letter writing evil is because of the apparent safety of the person guilty of this nuisance. A man of the anonymous letter writing type has an enemy. He is afraid to face him in the open, but he wants to hurt hini. What easier or what more safe -^-apparently—than to write, an unsigned letter containing inlormation, alleged or real, or slander, which is certain to cause the assailed person harm, or at least considerable annoyance? There is a certain type of cowardly person to whom the anonymous letter appeals as does the vengeful stiletto to the vicious blackhand criminal. It is a means to harm, and—apparently—a safe one, What easier than, to write a few lines in a disguised hand? Or on a typewriter? Haw can anybody trace a letter prepared i n such a way and dropped in the mall box by stealth and in the dark of night? True, admits the letter writer to himself—or herself, for women are numerous among this element, such letters have been traced and their authors caught. But, reasons the Intending writer, they did not t%ke the necessary precautions to hide their tracks. It looks like a cinch. It looks safe. But— it isn't. Any crime or misdemeanor that will place in the hands of a trained detective a piece of writing, pen or typewriter^, or a piece of printing, or, in fact, any physical trace -of a person's expression, is tbe least safe sort of wrong-doing in the world. No sort of wrong-doing is safe, of course, but the kind that leaves a trace of a person's identity in the hands of the men who get on the track is the kind most certain to be run down eventually. This does not mean that it usually 1B a cinch for the detective to run down the average anonymous letter writer. On the contrary it is usually very hard, for the wrong-doer invariably has taken a multitude of .precautions to throw his follow-^ of? the track. But the point is that the detective has in tfte letter a tangible clue to follow, * and iri the end it is practically certain that the writer will be caught. My first experience with anonymous letter writer came about in queer fashion. One day a young man, who looked the part of the bookkeeper that we afterwards found him to be, came into the New York office of the Burns agency and planked down thfcee anonymous letters that he had received during the past few weeks. Here is one of them that gives the gist of the three missives: 1 "Dear Sir: "You will never know who tUsae letter comes from, but you may he assured that it is from a friend. Y<o.u have a friend named Carlin, wtoo is treasurer for the Blank Heating company. If you will spend more time ha Carlin's company we will reward you In a manner that will surprise you, on the condition that you let no one faaow. that you ever received this letter. Especially do not let Carlin know.** The name of the man who brought the letters in was Blake. He had come to us for advice. "We aren't giving away advice," said the office manager. "If you want us to find who wrote those letters to you and why they were written, we'll be glad to give you a man for $8 a day and expenses. It may. take some time to find the writer, so your bill probably would run up pretty high." - "Oh, I couldn't afford to hire a detective," said Blake. "I thought not," said the manager. And there the case ended for the time * * being. ' • - • K- 1 Three months later, almost to a day, iWe got a call from a business house ' ;fti a l a ^ n e a r b y ' C i t r to send a man /over there atfonee. I happened to get ithe case, r & u n d my people to be the ^Continental Heating company. The diame of the general manager was Haney. I didnt like him from the . atart. • ": • *fljr; Cornell," said Haneyv when I bad introduced myself, "I'm glad to see j ^ # a n : t o see you, indeed*' We've got ^irttle matter here in1 this office, a vqiieW matter, that we can't 4ulte understand. We thought we had better ha** a deteotive In* to* IdottHhe iMg^:':^^' *•> *f' '•What is it?" I asked. Fbr aiswer he turned to hi* desk arid drew out three letters and handed them to me. , ^ose'lefters, Mr, Clornetf, have been received ia this office m tbe last two weeks," said ttaney: "Take a i b % | ^ k at ^ . * * \ - u ' I did. *The Jettera ;were simply addressed "Dear Slf^ withcut the^name' of tbo IKa" being mentioned* They wore all about Ih (he same tone.

Show us that you're right, and Ve'U show you that we're right. Show us that you're not right and—good-by contract for you, You know who we are and you know how to get to us." " The letter ended abruptly. It wasn't signed. The other letters ran along in about the same strain, the third one being much in the nature of a threat, and assuring the firm that it had ao chance ln the world of landing this heating contract that it wanted so badly unless it began to show that **lt was right" within the next week. "I got that last letter yesterday," said Haney. "That week will be gone in five days. And we certainly do want that contract." "Do you know who wrote the letters?" I asked, bluntly. He looked at me in amazement. "Know?" he said. "What do you think I am?" Do you suppose rd>be paying your agency %% a day and expenses if I knew who wrote those letters?" "Hardly," I said. "Do you know who is responsible for their being written*' Haney looked at me a little longer this time without speaking. "No," he said. "No." * "But you could make a pretty close guess, couldn't you?" I went on. "Yes," he said, "I could." "Sure," said. "There wouldn't be any sense to these fellows writing the letters if you couldn't. I suppose it's a bunch of grafting politicians who are trying to hold you up, isn't it?" He gave me a look which was undisguised attempt to read my thoughts. "Yes," he said, "that's what we think, of course. That is what I and Mr. Garver, the president of the conopany, have agreed upon as the truth.*' "Garver?" I said. "I haven't met him yet, have I?" "Mr. Garver is president and owner of this company," said Haney, " H e V an old man. I attend to all this sort, •of business." "Doesn't he want to be i n on thi* conference?" I said. "No," j;aid Haney. I thought it over a little. "Well;; ,1 said. "I want him to be rhere:" "What?" Haney begun to get a little mad. "ItJs arule of our offiee," I explained. Haney leaned back, mollified. ' ^ h , " be said, " i f that's the case, all irtgbt. Mr. Garver doesn't like to trouble with such details,, but if you h> srtst— " '"I <do." *Then we <can go into his private office.'" We went in. (Garver was an old man, as Haney had said. He was over seventy and was in poor health. His mind was quite a s < clear as it should be, but as I saw him and Haney together the contrast struck me too forcibly to be lost. Garver was the fine typo of honorable business man who has built up his success by virtue of the excellence of his {products and square dealing, and who was more frequently met a couple of decades ago ttoan in this age. Haney was the type who forces bis way to the top by bulldozing and unscrupulous conduct Garver would rather lose .business than sacrifice his self respect by a dishonorable action. Haney mould get the money anyway so long A S he could keep out of jail. "Well, Mr. Cornell" said Ssfrver courteously, "it looks as if tbe Continental Heating company would have to resort to bribery to get a mueh-oVesifed contract, doesn't it? I dislike to do it, very much, but it is extremely necessary that we get this school eon* tract. I am sorry to have to pay a bribe to'unscrupulous politicians. I would not do so except to beat a company that wants to put an inferior beating plant into our schools. I have a large amount of pride In my own city, Mr. Cornell, and I want to get my heating plant—which is a jgood honest one—-into tbe schools: T a r n afraid we will have to appease certain politicians with a good-sized bribe before this can be accomplished." 1 ''Oh; I guess not?' r said. "We'lf get this letter writer for you after that your politicians wont bother you." Garver smiled. "I admire confidence, Mr. Cornell," he said.

I went back to New York; Cluffer and Doheny on my> wired request came rushing to the place 1 had been working. Cluffer knew the ins and outs of the political ring in that city like *a book. ' He had worked on a couple of city hall cases there. Doheny had been brought up in the town and was chummy with half a dozen of the most powerful politicians of the lower class, the kind who would be in on such a deal as the school heating 'contracts. For two days duffer and Doheny combed the political corners of the town. They smoked and drank and chummed with •everybody they needed in their business, from the king of the levee district, who was the biggest politician there, to the little hangers-on of feusky ward-heelers. Then they sprang their.proposition. winter time* The air gets bad, aa I understand. "$Tow, as I say, we've been l n on every piece of city money that's been spent; but about this one—well, some of us have got kids of our own, and we says, says we': 'Let's let the kids get decent air and heat;' and we said: 'Hands off the heating contracts. Let the people with the best plant get the lob, and nothing doing for us.' I'm sorry, but we've decided to let tbat Job go clean." Cluffer wired me ln New York what he had found. It was what I had hoped and expected, because my theory pointed that way. In the meantime I had gone straight to Blake. He had seen me in the office when he came in with his anonymous letters three months before. "Are you getting any of those letters nowadays?" I said. He w&s fidgety, and he lied and said, no. "Then why are you associating with Carlin so much lately?" I asked. "How do you know I am?" he demanded. "The man who wrote you the letters told me so," I said. His curiosity overcame him. "Who is he?" he said. "Do you know, I'm worried ha^f to death over the thing. It's perfectly erSizy to me. Here a month ago the letters began coming again, and a twenty-dollar bill in each one, and a promise that they'd continue if I'd only hang around Carlin a lot. 'Let yourself be seen with him,' was the expression. What in the deuce does it mean?" "Easy enough," I said. " Y o u work in the New York office of a man who's big in politics l n this other city where the letters are mailed, don*t you?" "Yes." "And Carlin's i n the heating business, isn't he?"

After studying it for a while I saw that It waa the looping, continuous hand of a telegrapher.

He was an old expert named Handy who had gone the whisky route. When you have a man identified to that extent it isn't hard to find him. Some of the old telegraphers ln the office knew the particular lodging house where Handy was living. He had touched them at intervals for small loans. Cluffer and I went to the lodging house and found Handy In bed, recovering from a terrible spree. "I want you to wjite some letters for me, the same kind you've been writing for my friend Haney, of the Continental Heating company," I said. "Get me a drink, for God's sake," said the wreck. "I haven't got a cent." I got him something to steady his nerves and set him to work. He wrote enough to show me positively that he waa m i man. ^ "How did Haney happen to get you to writ<yhis letters for him?" I asked. "Oh, I used to know Haney before the booze got me," he said.

Although a bird if fi ter equipped than a man, even in the niost perfect and powerful flying at** chine yet invented, to cope with swirling gusts and sudden blasts, ;few feathered creatures care to fly during a storm. Drexel says: "The aeroplane has its limitations, and they are so far very narrow ones." If tnis be true^of the mechanical power, what of the guiding intelligence behind it? writes Richard Kearton i n The Sphere. Man has .to conceive a situation and communicate his will through his limbs to bis mechanism, whereas a bird iastinctively throws its will into it* wings and tail, which is a much shor* er path to results. Now let us glance for a moment at the relative speeds of mental perception in a man and a bird. Tor a long series of years I have undergone a severe training ln quick mental perception and at the crucial moment setting rapidly-answering mechanical contrivances In motion, and have no hesitation, in stating that the powers of the most alert human being when compared with those of a bird are as the speed of a snail to that of a Derby winner.

This i l l u * trates the extreme rapidity of theil mental perception and its translatloa into action, but in i p i t c of these very useful qualifications the birds do not risk such exhibition displays of flight during very stormy weather. Mon* hers of a pack of grouse flushed dun Ing a gale of wind have been known to collide and kill each other in mid* air. * I remember on one occasion putting a grouse up near to a stone wal} duj* ing very gusty weather. The bird had not proceeded far before it *rasr x caught by a terrific side blast a W A hurled against the wall. Falling to the ground It rose again, but instead of attempting to continue its flight par* allel with the fence, took a course at right angles to it, and by a series of vigorous wing beats forced Its way straight up into the eye of the wiad, and then, turning right around, sailed away over tbe wall on outstretched wings. Grouse, like seagulls, apppear to be able to read the signs of a coming storm, and frequently seek sheU ter before the breaking of the blast, I have known them to leave the ex* posed hilltops and descend even to the meadows right at tbe bottom o l a Yorkshire dale before the oncoming — of an exceptionally heavy gale acconv panied by hail and rain. Island Birds in a Hurrfeene. Some years ago Whilst in tbe outer Hebrides I noticed thousands of s«aj gulls of different species sitting quits still in a pasture close to the Atlantic Every head was turned toward the sea, from which a moderate breeze was blowing. By the middle of the afternoon the wind had increased to such hurricane force that pieces of foam aa large S B a man's head were being carried from the beach a quarter of a mile island, and not a bird of any kind was to be seen on the wing. Anxious to see bow my feathered friends were faring during such exceptional weather I struggled forth, sometimes progressing on my feet, and at others, in exposed places, on mj* hands end knees.

This comparatively new air craft lias given a fresh Impetus to the business side of flying by reducing the element of danger so that the aviator may feel it prudent to go for an air s a i l without first making his will. A l - though tbe water plane did not come Into use until about 18 months ago, It has rapidly gained i n popularity from tbe fact that It has not been the V Overwater flying about New York is not an unusual spectacle. Thousands of persons almost daily for two weeks last winter watched Frank Coffyn in his Wright hydro-aeroplane skim the surface of the water of the bay from the battery, drift into the air with a moving picture machine, hurdle bridges, circle Miss Liberty, spiral over ferryboats and drop back on the water with the ease of a gull. He had one or two mishaps, but was always towed back safely. The nearest approach to real danger occurred when on one of these flights Coffyn dropped his camera in the matter of hydroaeroplanes, so much sp that this water plane may be safa to be an American invention- While experiments were conducted in Europe since 1905 only one machine, tbe Fabre hydroaeroplane, as much as left the water,: and it was wrecked after a lew short trials. That was In 1910. The first complete success was attained by Glenn H . Curtiss 14 the earjy part of 1911; and for nearly a year he practically had the field to, himself. The idea of the hydroaeroplane, however,.seems to have originate ed with William Kress, an Austrian inventor. After 27 years of experimenting he completed a machine fitted with cylindrical floats of aluminum which were tried out at the Unter-Tuilnerbach chanjtlers in 1898 and 190}~ It never left'fthe Water. In 1902 and 1903 the Wright brothers made some experiments, but they were terminated by the breaking of a dam near Dayton, Ohio. Other inventors followed, but without any pronounced success. Among those notably were Parsevai, Dufaux brothers. Archdeacon, Gabriel, Volsin and Bieriot. The last three collaborated in'their experiments, Voisin acting as pilot of the machines, which were tried out over the Seine river. * In July of 1^905, Voisin was trying out a Bieriot in which the pilot was seated in a cagelike apparatus. The machine became submerged and for some seconds he was fastened underneath the water. He did not like this experience and after that the machines were flown over land. Then in 1911 along came Glenn H . Curtiss with a satisfactory solution of the problem. It was not until January, 1911, BP WW o m a c h w o r m s i n S h e e p a n d C a l v e s By WARD GILTNER, S u u Vetetiaaria* Wilt Ihe TAKING THE. \r JSfjse,.of a single * Ity or serious It... It is ;re have plenty1 of -and duckand counof acci- ^ which h a v e lives in machines, the pilots of water machine have suffered n o t h i n g worse than a wetting. There have been some striking i l - lustrations of this. For instance, on Jfcfrruary 10 Hugh Robinson while flying at.Antibes, near Nice, France, started out to givt> a demonstration 4a rough weather. When he attempted to come down the shore was crowded with spectators and he was forced to descend on the water. As he was about to cettle a big wave rolled up and hit the tall of the machine, pitch ing him out head first Robinson escaped with a drenching. * Two years before John B . Moisant was killed in just such a fall on land. While making a flight of 370 miles -along the Mississippi river Robinson's : motor"stopped out over the river. He .reached the water, drifted shoreward and was towed back to the starting point by a boat, * i t is this margin of safety that makes the hydro-aeroplane popular with the sportsman, who heretofore 'has hesitated about taking up flying for the reason that the sensation did not justify the risk. Aeroplane builde r s both in Europe and America have awakened to the situation and are ^turning out machines fitted with floats. ior hydros. The aeronautical organizations throughout the country have been Impressed with this clean record of the hydro-aeroplane and are doing their -utmost to promote thus form of flight. As a consequence schools are being established along water-fronts to supplant the aerodromes on land. This alone should insure a liberal patronage when it is considered that the Aero Club of America and its affiliated clubs alone have a membership of 8,- O00 and the Aeronautical of New York bas about 300 members. On a rainy day last May Mr. Collier, with Walter Brookins as plot, flew from Seidler's Beach to the flagship Washington, anchored off Ninety-sixth street, to deliver an invitation to Admiral Osterhaus to attend the Aero chow then in progress of the Grand Central Palace. Previous to that Admiral Osteahaus had contended that no flying machine was worth more than ten cents, but he completely changed his mind. Th^ S2-mttcs Was made i n 30 minvtes, good speed, being made on account of a following wind.

The machine fortunately did not hit a ferryboat and consequently there was only the loss of a camera. It was while making these fights that Coffyn demonstrated the feasibility of communicating with ships in case of emergency. He flew down the harbor and overtook the Italian liner Axona and landed a passenger without the slightest difficulty. Coffyn afterward said he could have caught the boat 50 miles outside New York just as easily. It would also seem that the water machine would be valuable for lifesaving purposes along the coast During the Chicago aviation meet last -August an aviator lost control while flying and was pitched into the water. Three-quarters of a mile away Aviator Hugh Robinson was performing circles In a Curtiss machine. Seeing his fellow flier in distress, he flew to the rescue at a mile a minute, reached the spot, landed on the water alongside the submerged aeroplane and offered to give the plot a lift. A l l this in less than one minute. On another occasion Naval Aviator Herbster while carrying a passenger over San Diego Bay had some mishap in alighting and turned over. This was about half a mile from the shore. Long before motor boats* could reach the spot Harry Atwood had launched his machine from the beach and in less than a minute was to the rescue of Mr. Herbster and his passenger. Neither was hurt, and both preferred to stay by their machine, which was upside down in the water, until a motor boat came to tow it to shore. A Hammondsport physician who had received an urgent call to see a patient across Lake Keuka, not being able to get a boat at once, found an aviator to take bim there. The patient was in a serious condition, and the time saved was important. 'This new aircraft is not limited to the water. It can fly at a speed of 00 miles or more, skim the water at 50 miles and run over the ground at 36 miles. It therefore marks the conquest of three elements—air, water and earth. The hydroaeroplane ls essentially an aeroplane'equipped with floats to take the place of wheels. Almost every builder has his own Ideas for a hydro, and hardly any two are exactly alike. America is far ahead of Europe in that a hydroaeroplane was ready for trial. The first tests were failures, and for two weeks daily tbe machine was set afloat to undergo some new change, some knowledge being gained from each test. Assisting with the experiments were Lieut. Theodore Ellyson of the navy and Lieut. Paul Beck, Lieut. John C. Walker, Jr., and the late E. M. Kelly of the army; Hugh Robinson and C. C. Witmer, aviators of the camp. The men wore bathing suits usually and no one thought anything of wet clothing or cold feet. The success which came January 26 was a surprise even to Mr. Curtiss. On this day the machine was taken out for its usual inspection and much to the delight and surprise of Mr. Curtiss, the pilot, it leaped into the air. The success was electrifying. The spectators ran along the beach shouting and the ships that caught sight of the man gull sent exultant blasts. This wevent marked the success of a new flier. There were daily flights thereafter, with and without passengers. The navies of the world were quick to recognize its value as an auxiliary. It had hardly attained success before the United States navy acquired an hydroplane for experimenting and it has since, added others. An aviation section Jfcucharge of fcapt Washington IrvtiHjChambers has since been ostablisjHHat Annapolis. Other nations fanjjprto develop a reliable aeroplane followed in line and ordered machines from America. New Use for Library Pfaxa. A gay scene is presented daily on the west plaza of the public library these summer days. ~ A new use has been found for it which doubtless had no place in the architects' sclmme. Little children run-races when it is not too hot or draw their toys hack and forth over the long expanse of flagging. Older children find shady nooks about the Bryant fountain where they sew or read, sometimes to the little ones or to the mothers who also find time to get away from the close tenements, and enjoy a rest in the quiet open space. It Is within walking distance of a large tenement district. It is not easy for the poor to find such a place, and so far tbe park loafers have not in* vsded ft It belongs to the women aad children.

A few of tbe squares were retained, on which to place a short history of the town, giving names of prominent men, various industries, population at different dates, and the names of county and town officers at the time, and the remainder were sold for advertising. In most cases the advertising was done by forming the letters in the top coat before tbe final set, but a few of the advertisers furnished aluminum letters and numerals, about 3 incher high. Although the sidewalk bas now been laid for some time, the outline* of the letters are said to be as when first made.

"I t r a ^ e t r e d some to him, but I'm not-£wa^¾¾¾ whether be considers It a loan or 8 present" The losses from stomach worms in sheep undoubtedly exceed the combined losses from all other causes which bring about death in sheep. _My attention ha* recently;been called to stomach worms on account of finding them In a bunch of young cat tie. This ls the first time that I have seen this worm in calves in Michigan, but it is well known 'that in certain parts of the south it has caused enor mous losses to bovlnes. The losses of sheep, especially lambs, h a ^ been very serious during the past few years. I have seen as much as $1,000 of loss within sight ot one farm house. This loss usually indicates ignorance on the part of the owner as to the nature of sheep diseases. The experienced flock master does not suffer such losses, as a rule, since he knows the deadly character of this worm and plans from year to year in order to fight its ravages. The Btomach worm, technically known as Haemonchus con tortus, 1B a minute worm about an inch in length when mature, and derives its name, contortus, from its appearance, which suggests a very fine brown silk thread twisted about an equally fine, white thread. The brownish color has a very dire significance. It is due to blood pigments. The worm is found in enormous numbers In the sick lamb or calf in the fourth or true stomach, which is properly called the aboznasum. This stomach is the one of which the small intestine is a continuation. The worms may be found frequently in that portion of the small intestine attached to the fourth stomach. The diagnosis »at post-mortem, then, is made by opening the true stomach and examining carefully in a good light the lining membrane of this organ. If the animal has just died, or just been killed, these worms will be found in a seething mass, in some cases, covering the membrane. They attach themselves, at least temporarily, to the membrane and withdraw blood. This results in an irritation of the lining of the stomach and in a depletion of the system from blood withdrawn. There may be poisons secreted, also*,, but this cannot be definitely stated. It is quite noticeable that when the* animal has bled to death, the .quantity of blood is quite small. The young lamb, which ls especially susceptible to the ravages of this worm, usually stays apart from the flock and Urea very easily. The appetite is impaired, and the hind Itnabs appear weak. Usually in the space between the branches of the lower jaw there is a doughy swelling. Thia swelling may exist between the front legs, also, and is due to the bloodless condition of the lamb. The mucous membrane of the eye and mouth become very pale, although it is sometimes brownish in color. Lambs may cough when affected with stomach worms, but the cough is very apt to be due to a complication due to the lung^-worm. The lung worm is very apt to be found on the same pastures that are Infested with the stomach worm. The lung worm is considerably larger than the stomach worm, and pearly white in color', can be found by making an incision through the lung and pressing out the contents of the affected bronchial tubes. The season is now beginning for these worms to be serious, and we wish to call attention to the means whereby their ravages may be overcome, at least to a degree. The life history of these worms is not fully understood, but we know that they lay enormous numbers of minute eggs. The embryo or ycung worm hatched from these eggs is picked up from the grass or water by the sheep or young cattle, and enter the stomach to start the iritating process which we have described. It can be readily understood that a permanent pasture, and especially one that has low, wet places in it, will be most liable to infestation. We do not see how a permanent pasture can be used for sheep or young cattle when these worms have once been introduced. The eggs undobtedly live through the winter and are ready to infest Jthe lambs when turned out In the spring. In view of this fact, we^would recommend that the farmer ^contemplate some method whereby he can maintain a rotation of pastures, and before turning out young stock on the spring pasture, if there is any possibility that they are affected with stomach worms, treat them in a manner to destroy tbe worms before they enter the pasture. The whole idea, of the treatment is to separate the worm from the lamb or calf, and starve out the worm, which probably cannot live for more than a year in the absence of some such animal host. Ws would recommend that the treatment be conducted as follows: Place tbe animals to be treated i n a small enclosure free i r o m a l l litter, give them nothing but water for 24 hours; salt sprinkled with turpentine can be kept before them all tbe time. The treatment may be preceded by a laxative, or not; at any rate, after dieting for 24 hours, -give them onehalf to one ounce of turpentine in from one pint to one quart of fresh skim milk. On the following' day. the animals may be given a laxative, If it has not previously been given, and after 24-hours, they may be-re* •noved to tbe pasture. Where the stomach worm has been a 'serious menace* it would be well to plan en having four pastures*- - Remove i n tbe spring, after tbe ibovfrdescrtbed treatment, to pas. a ture U wnicn should be frse from to- J AUTOMOBILE HAS A WIN6 festatidn^Mfin J u i y t ^ s t > repeat Ute treatment, and remove, 'to pasture II.; on November 4et, give another treatment, and remove to pasture III., or to a lot wh^re they may remain the following >farch; In March, or as sodh 'fts - possible, remove to pasture IV., and on July let to pasture I. again, and so on repeating i n this order. After thiB, the treatment should be only in the fall of the year, just before entering the picture or enclosure for the winter. Lambs that show signs of infestatlori with worms should be removed and treated separately. Avoid stocking the pastures too heavily, k~eep salt before the animals all the time, and avoid low, wet pastures. Animals that die should, be burned up, If possible, otherwise buried very deeply. It may be of great value to know that It ls quite without danger to use infested pastures for other animals than the ruminants, such as cattle, sheep and goats. It will be perfectly safe to pasture colts or hogs on tnes^ badly infested pastures, and where no other use can be found we would recommend this procedure. The writer will he glad to communicate with any farmers that suspect stomach worms in their stock. - ^states. H O W T O E R A D I C A T E C O M M O N B U R D O C K By R. J . Baldwin. One of the rankest growing and most disagreeable weeds in Michigan is the common burdock (Arctium minus). It is not a bad weed in cultivated fields and usually disappears from land on Which a crop rotation Is practised. Uncultivated places, such as old pastures, roadsides, fence corners, orchards and cut over timber lands are places which favor the growth of burdock, and i n such places they become a very great nuisance where farm animals, especially sfteep, come its contact with the bum Simply because it is not a Common Burdock. weed1 to> be feared In field crops burdocks are often allowed! to grow In unused corners, but they are unsightly and are liable to be taken as an indication of lack of tharfflt and careless farming. The burdock Is a biennial, and can be killed: by cutting below the ground.

The objection that it creates dust is greatly overcome by its beneficial features and a closed bath with a special window in the south side and accessible by a small opening can be easily constructed which has an additional advantage In that It ls comparatively free from the danger of any dirt 'or litter accumulating from the pen. Fine road dust, finely si'ted coal ashes, etc., are very desirable materials for the dust bath, and the addition of lime, tobacco dust and patent preparations tend to make it moro effective.

I • ce Ajuccesfrfttl trial run waa made re> IWtifom Paris to London, about 320 miles, by a motor car driven by a * revolving wing, the Paris Figaro The vehicle, which was designed by M. Bertrand daLesseps, and is called tbe "winged car," has the appearance of an ordinary motor car, save that In-front it is shaded like; the pr< of a ship. From the extremity tbe prow extends a shaft to which attached the propeller—or revolvii wing—Invented by M . Filippi. T h e ^ i n g is small, strong~and thii and revolves within a protecting cagi The engine is of 40 horse power and rotates the wing by shaft and chain transmission. There is no other mechanism, tbe wheels of the car being free, except for footbrakes. By the side of the driver is a single lever which controls tbe clutch and the forward and reverse movement of the wing. T%e wing can: be reversed at a moment*B notice, thereby forming an additional brake. In the trial runs a speed of 62 miles an hour was obtained wltk 2,100 revolutions of the wing a minute. One curious feature was tbat the car made no dust. ' > HANDS CRACKED AND BLEU St Clair. Mo.—"My trouble began about fifteen years ago. It was what some claimed eczema.

"Miss Betty, he's Just like my Uncle Bob was—he ain't afraid of nothing! He totes them pistols of his—loaded —If you notice good you can see where they bulge out his coat!" Hannibal's eyes, very round and big, looked up into hers. "Is he as poor as he seems, Hannibal?" inquired Betty. "He never has no money, Miss Betty, but 1 don't reckon he's what a body would call pore." It might have baffled a far more mature intelligence than Hannibal's to comprehend those peculiar processes by which the Judge sustained himself and his Intimate fellowship with adversity—that lt was his magnificence of mind which made the squalor of his daily lite seem merely a passing phase—but the boy had managed to point a delicate distinction, and Betty grasped something of the hope and faith which never quite died out in Slocum Price's indomitable breast "But you always have enough to eat, dear?" she questioned anxiously. Hannibal promptly reassured her on this point. "You wouldn't let me think anything that was not true, Hannibal— you are quite sure you have never been hungry?" "Never, Miss Betty; honest!" Betty gave a sigh of relief. She had been reproaching herself for her neglect of the child; she had meant to do so much for him and bad done nothing! Now it was too late for her personally to interest herself in his behalf, yet before she left for the east «£e would provide for him. If she had felt it was possible to trust the judge she would have made him her agent, but even ln his best aspect he sevmed a dubious dependence- Tom, for quite different reasons, w«s equally out of the question. She thought of Mr. Mahaffy. "What kind of a man Is Mr. Maliaffy, Hannibal?" "He's an awfui nice man, Miss Betty* only he never lets on; a body's gut to find it out for his own self— he ain't like the judge." "Does he-r^rink, too, iiannibair questioned Betty. "Oh, yes; when he can gat the ltcker, be does." It was evident that Hannibal was cheerfully tolerant ot this weakness on the part of the austere Mahaffy. By this time Betty wast ready to weep over the child, with his knowledge of shabby vice, and his fresh young faith in those old tfjrtsfdems^ians, . "But, no matter what they do, they are very* very kind to you?" she continued tremulously. ..VYes*. ma'am-—why. Miss Betty, they're lovely. men! "And do you ever hear the thlngB t^TrefTdf you learned about at Mrs. ^s«i|^BB«d»jr^ho^ir-....... the judge,is drunk he .talks * heap^atfout W . irtr beautiful, to Hear htm then; you'd love it, Miss Betty," and Hannibal smiled up sweet* ly into* her face. < ' "Does: he have you go to Sundayschool in Raleigh r The boy shook his head.1 4 ?TaH?i got no clothes that's fitten toifreftft«oriso Annies tb fctve^hut Mahaffy were concerned. They were doubtless bad enough, but they could have been worse. "No, ma'am; he done soaked, the label off one of Mr. Pegloe's whisky bottles and pasted lt on the wail Just as high as my chin, so's I can see it good, and he's learnings me that-away! Maybe you've seen the kind of bottle I mean—Pegloe's Mississippi Pilot; Pure Corn Whisky?" But Hannlhal's bright little face fell. He was quick to see that the educational system devised by the judge did not impress Betty at all favorably, she drew him into her arms. "You shall have my books—the books I learned to read out of when 1 was a little girl, HannlbaU" "I like learning from the label pretty well," said Hannibal loyally. "But you'll like the hooka better, dear, when you see them, I know Just where they are, for I happened on them on a shell in the library only the other day." . After they had found and examined the books and Hannibal had grudlngly admitted that they might possess certain points of advantage over the label, he and Bety went out for a walk. It was now late afternoon and the sun was Binklng behind the wall of the forest that rose along the Arkansas coast. Their steps had led them to the terrace—where they stood looking off Into the west lt was here that Betty had said good-by to Bruce Carrlngton—it might have been months ago, and lt was only days. She thought of Charley— Charley, with bis. youth and hope and high courage—unwittingly enough she had led him on to his death! A sob rose in her throat Hannibal'looked up Into her face. The memory of his own loss was never very long absent from his mind, and Miss Betty had been the victim of a similarly sinister tragedy. with Uncle Bob, when he liked you, he Just laid himself out to let you know it!" "That does make a great difference, doesn't it?" agreed Betty sadly, and two piteous tearful eyes were bent upon him. "Don't you reckon if Uncle Bob is alive, like the judge says, and he's ever going to find me, he had ought to be here by now?" continued HdnnlbaJL anxiously. "But it hasn't been such a great while, Hannibal; it's only that so much has happened to you. If he was very badly hurt It may have been weeks before he could travel; and then when he could, perhaps he went back to that tavern to try to learn what had become of you. But we may be quite certain he will never abandon his search until he has made every possible effort to find you, dear! That, means he will sooner or later come to west Tennessee, for there will always be the hope that you have found your way here." v Sometimes I get mighty tired waiting, Miss Betty," confessed the boy. "Seems like I just couldn't wait no longer-—" He sighed gently, and then his face cleared. "You reckon he'll come most any time, don't you, Miss Betty?" "Yes, Hannibal; any day or hour!" "Whoop!" muttered Hannibal softly under his breath. Presently he asked: "Where does that branch take you to?" He nodded toward the bayou at the foot of the terraced bluff. "It empties into the river," answered Betty. Hannibal saw a small skiff beached among the cottonwoods that grew along the water's edge and his eyes lighted up instantly. He had a Juvenile passion for boats. "Why, you got a boat, ain't you, Miss Betty?"

He recalled those first awful days of loneliness through which he had lived, when there was no Uncle Boh—soft* voiced, smiling snd infinitely companionable. ,*v /'Why, HannlbaV you a*i crying— what about, dear?" asked 5 etty suddenly. "No, ma'am? I ain't crying," said Hannibal stoutly, but his wet lashes gave the lie totals words. . * i "Are you homesick—do you wish to go hack to the judge and Mr. Mahaffy ?" "No,, ma'am—It ain't that—I was just thinking—" 'Thinking about what, dear?" "About my Uncle Boh." The small face wasuyery wistful. "Oh^rand you still miss him so muclc ilannibair' 1 bet I do—I reckon anybody who knew Uncle Boh would never get over missing him; they Just couldn't, Miss Betty I ..Then Judge ig mighty kind* and so U Mr. MaJ^affy—them •wfnl Wad, Miss Betty, *?*'t sesn* they get kinder all tho time—hut Would you like to go down to i t r Inquired Betty.

The sound she had heard might have been only the rustling of the wind among the branches overhead in that shadowy silence, but Betty's nerves, the placid nerves of youth and perfect health, were shattered. "Didn't you hear something, Hannibal?" she whispered fearfully. For answer Hannibal pointed mysteriously, and glancing in the direction he Indicated, Betty saw a woman advancing along the path toward them. The look of alarm slowly died out of his eyes. "I think it's the overseer'B niece," she told Hannibal, and they kept on toward the boat. The girl came rapidly up the path, which closely followed the irregular line of the shore ln its windings* Once she was seen to stop and glance back over her shoulder, her attitude intent and listening, then she hurried forward again. Just at the boat the three met. "Good evening!" said Betty pleasantly. The girl made no reply to this; she merely regarded Betty with a ilxed stare. A t length she broke the silence abruptly. "I got something I want to say to you—you know who I am, I reckon?" She was a girl of about Betty's own age, with a certain dark, sullen beauty and that physical attraction which Tom, in spite of his vexed mood, had taken note of earlier in the day. "You are Bess Hicks," said Betty. "Make the boy go back toward the house a spell—1 got something I want to say to you." Betty hesitated. She was offended by the girl's manner, which was as rude as her speech. "I ain't going to hurt you—you needn't be afraid of me. I got something important to say—send him off, I tell you; there ain't no time to lose!" The girl stamped her foot impatiently. Betty made a sign to Hannibal and he passed slowly back along tho path. He went unwillingly, aud he kept his head turned that he might see what was done, even if he were not to hear what was said. "That will do, Hannibal—wait there —don't go any farther!" Betty called after him when he had reached a point sufficiently distant to be out of hearing of a conversation carried on in an ordinary tone. "Now, what is it? Speak quickly if you have anything to tell me!" "I got a heap to say," answered the girl with a scowl. Her manner was still fierce and repellant, and she gave Betty a certain jealous regard out of her black eyes which the latter waa at a loss to explain. "Where's Mr. Tom?" she demanded. "Tom? Why, about the place, I suppose—ln Jhis office, perhaps." So it had to do with Tom. . . . Betty felt sudden disgust with the situation, "No, he ain't about the place, either! He done struck out for Memphis two hours after sun-up, and what's more, be ain't coming back here tonight—" There was a moment of silence. The girl looked about apprehensively. She continued, fixing her black eyes on Betty: "You're here alone at Belle Plain—you know what happened when Mr. Tom started for Memphis last time—I reckon you-ail ain't forgot that!" Betty felt a pallor steal wer her face. She rested a hand that shook on the trunk of a tree to steady herself. The girl laughed shortly. "Don't be so scared; I reckon Belle Plain's as good as his if anything happened to you?" By a great effort Betty gained a measure of control over herself. She 4ftook a step nearer and looked the girl steadily in the face. "Perhaps you will stop this sort of talk, and tell me what is going to happen to me—if you know?" she said quietly. "Why do you reckon Mr. Norton was shot? I can tell you why—it was all along of you—that was'why!" The girl's furtive glance* which searched and watched the gathering shadows, came back as it always did to Betty's pale face. "Tour ain't no safer than he was, I tell you!" and she sucked ln her breath sharply bo* tween her full red lips. "What do you mean?" faltered Betty. "Do you reckon you're safe here in the big house alone? Why do you reckon Mr. Tom cleared out for Memphis? It was because he couldn't bo around and have anything; £appen to you—that was why!*' and the girl sank her voice.to a whisper. '"You quit Belle Plain now—tonight—Just as soon as you can!"

Lhassa, which is the capital ot Tibet, for generations was known as the Forbidden City, because of Its political and religious excluslveness. In 1904 a British armed expedition opened the mysterious old city. Previous to that time practically every European traveler had been stopped in his efforts to reach the place. The population in Lhasa is about 3?,000. Too Much of a G.ood Thing. "I was very happy," said the professor, "when, afer years of wooing, she finally said 'Yes.'

"It was due to my accursed absentmindedness. When, a few days later, I called at her home, I again asked her to marry me." Sparrow Sets House Ablaze. An English sparrow was the caus of three houses catching fire at Lawrenceburg, Ind., recently, and had it not been for the prompt work of the neighbors and friends all would have been destroyed. The sparrow was building a nest under the eaves of the home of Mrs. Mary Webber, and lt picked up a long cotton string from a pile of rubbish that had Just been burned. With the burning string ln its beak, the sparrow flew to the roof of Mrs. Sophia Shafer's house, then to Otto McCright's house and then to the roof of Emanuel Wuest's home, where it dropped the burning string. A nre started in the shingles of each building. Each was extinguished by neighbors before much damage was done. Shoe Polishes Finett Quality ' 1*1%) M i n i s - t | . f M | U . *'" * l„ ' i m .
