It's the age of the belt Manly shoulders must be unhampered by straps; only the patient diaphragm is to be subjected to a harsfesS. 60 passes another useful device, sacrificed to fastidiousness. We used to eat mashed potato with a knife till someone with supercilious manners came along and told us. the fork was the proper utensil for that important duty. Formerly people poured out their hot coffee into saucers, "blew" it cold and then drank It from saucers, all unconscious of the terrible impropriety involved. Nor was it formerly considered an indication of boorish origin for one to sip tea from a spoon. Oh, these changing times! Suspenders gone the way of the bicycle and the crocheted necktie! Is no one bold enough to do them reverence? Fashion is a tyrant It takes no cognizance of man's various shapes—his embonpoint, his fullness or deficiency of girth—it merely issues a flat and expects all to obey. The Jtime is opportune for a new declaration of independence. Let every man who prefers suspenders to a belt buy a pair forthwith and wear it in defiance of the world.

Not long ago a celebrated Jewish rabbi insisted that the great f p i 0 y of the 'state, after their duties explorer was a Jew, and now comes a member of the Royal Geographical society with the claim that Columbus was a Spaniard and not an Italian. veil of mystery that has for four centuries enshrouded the cradle of Columbus has at last been torn aside to reveal him without doubt or argument as a Spaniard. Dr. Horta says that the Italian lineage of the discoverer was accepted because there was no "authentic, respectable and authorised historic documents" to prove to the contrary, on tne other hand, the Spanish historian says the only accepted proof of the Italian birth of Columbus was his own statement that he was born, in Genoa. [By Gurd M . Hayes.] There is every reason to believe that the next legislature will enact a civil service law for all state departments and that an effort will be made to eliminate politics to a large exetnt in determining the class of men and women who will transact the business of the commonwealth. Ever since he came i;. "o office two years ago Governor Osborn has stood for a civil service law for all state employes} in recognition of meritious service. "Every employe in the state should be under civil service rules that are honestly made and honestly enforced," said the governor. "However, I am not speaking of a political service that works solely to the advantage of the parties. There is no reason why competent help in the emhave been learned well, should be replaced for merely political reasons, than there is that business firms should engage men for a short period, The Spanish scientist says that thettoHurn them loose after that time has been served." In his ex-augural message the retiring chief executive will advocate the passage of a civil service law, and the newly elected governor, Woodbridge N . Ferris says that he is heartily in favor of such a measure, and many members of tlie legislature are already, pledged to support such a bill. —Some of the departments fctave al- An Englishman in Shanghai was twitting the eldest son of Dr. Sun Yatsen about his father's cosmopolitanism. "Nobody knowB for certain where your father was born," he said. "Canton claims him and so does Honolulu. Before the revolution he bad not been here in China for man£ years. The English port of Hongkong was tbe nearest he ever approached.

Haarer, has already announced that he will appoint the present cashier in the treasury department to the deputyship the first of the year, while the chief clerk will be advanced to cashier and so on. Auditor General 0. B. Fuller has paid more attention to efficiency than political pull, while Sec-~ retary of State Frederick C. Martindale has many emjloyes in his department whose political activities ceased years ago. Martindale s&ys that a civil service law would not cause him to 1 make a single change in Ills office, as he declares he would discnarge a state dreds of blind children in the state Who are unable to gain admission owing to the limited facilities ot the imstitution, At a recent Besslon of the legislature a law was enacted requiring compulsory education for all blind children in the state, and Superintendent Holmes points to this as a sufficient" reason why sufficient money should be appropriated to care fo rthose who are being neglected at present. It IS pointed out that in many cases the parents of these children are unable, becaiifie of adverse financial conditions, to educate them in private schools, and as a result they grow up and become objects of charity, where they might be developed into self supporting citizens had they received the advantage afforded at the Michigan School for the • Blind. The educational course at the Michigan School for the Blind compares favorably with the advantages afforded in regular grammar and high schools of the state, and in adition, each pupil is taught some trade. Superintendent Holmes wants to add 40 acres to the school property in order that a course in agriculture may be added to the curriculum. From observation i n other states he has learned that agriculture is a pursuit1 that may be followed to considerable advantage by blind persons, and he - says that polltry arising is another industry favorable to those who have lost their sight The legislature has always dealt generously with the School for the Blind and there is every reason to believe that the arguments of Superintendent Holmes will carry considerable weight at the coming session. A Warm E+ec^lon. There is sure to be a wkrm, contset over the election of ^secretary of the senate to succeed E. V . Chilson, who has announced his retirement after serving in that capacity for aXnumber of essions past Chilson says that his business demands all his time ami he is forced to drop out of politics temporarily. The secretaryship of the senate is worth $10 per day and carries with it considerable political prestige. Consequently it is much sought-after and friends of the respective candidates are already soliciting the support of the various members of the upper house. Dennis E .

For a man to run for office on a platform that he is to abolish that igan politics, but that is what Augustus C.

Under the statute creating the public domain commission, its/members are composed 0 fthe board of state auditors, including the secretary of state, state treasurer and commissioner of the land office, together with one reagent of the University, one member of the state agricultural board and one member of the board of control of the Michigan College of Mines. Secretary Carton is an enthusiastic adherent of the "back to the soil" movement and has done mucST during the two years that he has been con* lected with the public domain commission, to encourage immigration and induce farmers from other states to take up tracts o f land in the northern counties of the state. To preserve the natural resources of the state, to assist in the development of the agricultural lands of Michigan and $0 encourage immigration, are among the few things that the commision has endeavored to accomplish. ^ Carton believes that the time has arrived when very little state land will be sold in Michigan and believes that the work of the land commission Is practically finished.

Taft Escapes Big Explosion. A few moments after President Taft^ and his party entered the National theater, in Panama, where they were guests at a Christmas ball given by President Porras, a terrific explosion wrecked a kiosk in Central avenue, the town's principal street. The president had Just passed that way and the firemen and police guard were still on duty. Investigation showed that the explosion was caused by dynamite. One man was seriously hurt and many persons slightly injured. The president and those with him smilingly attempted to belittle the incident, saying that they believed the explosion had no connection with the presence of President Taft Nevertheless a rigid investigation was begun by the authorities at the command of President Porras immediately after the cause of the disturbance became, known. Seven Important Hearings Scheduled for Session After Holidays. An investigation possibly unprecedented in the history of the house will be ushered in when congress reassembles in January. Members of the house ^ 1 divide their attention among seven distinct investigations scheduled to begin immediately after the holidays. They are: Inquiry into the so-called money trust; hearings before the ways and means committee preliminary to tariff revision by the next congress; the probe into the New^Haven-Grand Trunk railroad situation in New England; the judiciary committee's hearings on general trust legislation; the inquiry into the ramifications, of the so-called foreign and domestic shipping trust by the merchant marine committee; the Glass sub-committee's investigation incident to the framing of a currency bill, and the inquisition into the affairs of the office ot superintendent of insurance in the District of Columbia. The insurance inquiry will begin Dec. 26, with the District of Columbia commissioners on the witness stand. These committees will endeavor to complete their work by the end of tho session. It is estimated that the investigations will cost more than $100,- 000. GENERAL MARKETS.

Agatha Redmond, opera singer, starting for an auto drive In New York, finds a stranger sent *as her chauffeur. She is\ annoyed, but-he remains. Leaving the car, she goes into the park to read the will of an old friend of her mother, who has left her property. There she is accosted by a stranger^ who follows her tp the auto, climbs in and chloroforms her. James Hambleton of Lynn, Mass., member of an old New England family, decides he needs a holiday. He goes to New York and there witnesses the abduction of Agatha Redmond. Hambleton sees Agatha forcibly taken aboard a yacht. C H A P T E R 111.—Continued. On the instant his brain became active again. It did not take long, as a matter of fact, to find the car; though when he stumbled on it, turned about and neatly stowed away close beside the partitioning wall, he gave a start It was such a tangible evidence of what had threatened to grow vague^ Ihe yacht down the river and into the and unreal on his hands. He squeezed himself into the narrow space between it and, the wall, finally thruBting his head under the curtains of the ton-' neau. It was high and dry, empty as last year's cockleshell. Not a sign of life, not a loose object of any kind except a filmy thing which Hambleton found himself observing thoughtfully. At last he picked it up—a long, mist-like veil. He spread it out, held it gingerly between a thumb and finger of each hand, and continued to look at it abstractedly. Part of it was clean ana wnole, dalnfy as only a bit of woman's finery can be; but one end of it was torn and twisted and stretched out of all semblance to itself. Moreover, it was dirty, as if it had been ground under a muddy heel. It was; in its way,, a shrieking evidence of violence, of unrighteous struggle, Hambleton folded the scarf carefully, with its edges together, and put it in his pocket. Jimmy's actions from this time on had an incentive and a spirit that had before been lacking. He noted again the number of the car, arid returned to the edge of the dock to observe the yacht. She had steamed up river a little way for some reafcon known only to herself, and was now turning very slowly. She was but faintly lighted and would pass for some pleasure craft just coming home. But Jim knew better. He could, at last, put two and two together. He would follow the Face-yindeed, he could not help following it. In him had begun that divine experience of youth—of youth essentially, whether it come in early years or late —of being carried off his feet by a spirit not himself. He ran like a young athlete down the dock to the nearest workman, evolving schemes as he went. The dock-hand apathetically trundled a small keg from one pile of freight to another, wiped his hands on his trousers, took a dry pipe out of his pocket, and looked vacantly up the river before he replied to Hambleton's question. "Queer name—Jene Dark they call her." It was like pulling teeth to get information out of him, but Jim applied the forceps. r thing in the world. You ta%e this money and be sure to get the message "to Mr. Van Camp, will you? A i l right. Now tell me where i can flrftf a tug-boat or a steam launch, quick.** "O'Leary, down at pier X—2—0 has launches and everything else. ,AU right, my son, Aleck Van Camp,- a | the Laramie. But you be good and don't drown yourself." This last injunction, word for word in the manner of the pert Edith, touched Jimmy's humor. He laughed ringingly. His spirit was like a chime of belli on a week-day. The hour which followed was one that James Hambleton found it difficult to recall afterward, with any degree of coherence; but at the time his movements were mathematically accurate, swift, effective. He got aboard a little* steam tug and followed ijiarbor. As she stood out into the roads and bega^n to increase her speed, he directed the captain of the tug to steam forward and make as if to cross her bows. This would make the pilot of the yacht angry, but he would be forced to slow down a trifle. Jim watched long enough to see the success of his maneuver, then went down into the cuddy which served as a cabin, took off his clothes, and looked to the fastenings of his money belt. Then he watched his chance, and when the tug was pretty nearly in the path of the yacht, he crept to the stern'and dropped overboard. river for two weeks or more, possibly lesffj belonged Tb~ fort^a^parts; no one thereaboutsiknew who, its owner was; nor its captain; nor its purpose in the harbor of New York. At last, quite gratuitously, the man volunteered a personal opinion. "Slippery boat in a gale—wouldn't trust her." Hambleton walked smartly back, taking a look both at the yacht and the motor-car as he went. The yacht's nose pointed toward the Jersey shore; the car was creeping out of the dock. As he overtook the machine, he saw that It was in the hands of a mechanic in overalls and jumper. In answer .4 to Hambleton's question as to the owner of the car, the mechanic told him pleasantly to go to the devil, and for once the sight of a coin failed to produce any perceptible effect. But the major-general, waiting half a block away, was still in the humor of giving fatherly advice. He welcomed , Jim heartily. r r h m i r i r ^ i e - T - a i n ' t got no use for.

Aleck Van damp turned from the clerk's desk, rather relieved to find that Hambleton had* not yet made his appearance. Aleck had an errand on his mind, and he reflected that J i m was apt to be impetuouB and reluctant to await another man's convenience; at least, Jim wouldn't perceive that another man's convenience needed to be waited for; and Aleck had no mind to announce this errand from the housetops. It was not a business _that pertained, directly, either to the Sea Gull or to the coming cruise. He made an uncommonly-careful, toilet, discarding two neckties before the operation was finished. When all was done^the cravat presented a stuffe(larid warped appearance which was^fiot at all satisfying, even to 's uncritical eye; but the tie was the last of his supply and was, perhaps, slightly better than none at all.: Dinner at the club was usually a dull affair, and to Mr. Van Camp, on this Monday night, it seemed more stupid than ever. The club had been organized in the spirit of the English clubs, with the unwritten by-law of absolute and inviolable privacy for the individual. No wild or woolly manners ever entered those decorous precincts. No slipping on the shoulder, no hailfellow greetings, no chance dinner companionship ever dispelled the aw ful penumbra of privacy that surrounded even the humblest member. A 'man's eating and drinking, his cornon hie second day in London as he had ever been in Lynn; or he would go from a friend'B week end houseparty, where the habits of a Sybarite were forced on him, to a camp in the woods and pilot-bread fare, with an equal smoothness of temper and enjoyment. Since luxury made no impression on him, and hardship never blunted his own ideals of politeness or pleasure, no one ever knew which life he preferred. Choosing to walk fifteen or twenty squares to the Archangel apartment house, his destination, Van Camp looked about him, on this night of his arrival, with slightly quickened perceptions. He cast a mildly appreciative eye toward the picture disclosed here and there by the glancing lights, the chiaroscuro of the intersecting streets, the constantly changing vistas. For an unimpressionable man, he was rather wrought upon. Nevertheless, he entered the charming apartment whither he was. bound with5 the detached and composed manner which society regards as becoming. A maid with a foreign accent greeted him Yes, Mademoiselle Reynier was at home; Mr. Van Camp would find her in the drawing-room. The stiff and unrelaxed manner with whicn Mr. Van Camp bowed to Miss Reynier a moment later was not at all indicative of the fairly%e^pectable fever within his Scotch breast. Miss Reynier herself was pretty enough to cause quickenedTu!§BW-She was of ing or going, his living or dying, were The yacht had been lying out in ihe-f matters only for ^lub statistics, not for.personal inquiry or notice. The result of this habitual attitude on the part of the members of the club and its servants was an atmosphere ' in which a cataleptic fit would scarcely warrant unofficial interference; much less would merely mawkish of absent-minded behavior attract attention. That was the function of the club—to provide sanctuary for personal whims and idiosyncrasies; of course, always within the boundaries of the code. / On the evening in question Mr. Van Camp did not actually become silly, but his manner lacked the poise and seriousness which sophisticated men are wont to bring to the important event-of the day. He was as near being nervous as a Scotch-American Van Camp could be; and at the same time an unwonted flow of life and warmth in his cool veins. He went so far as to make a .remark to the waiter which he meant for an affable joke, and. then wanted to kick the fellow for taking it so solemnly. "You mind yourself, George, or they'll make you abbot of this monastery yetV said Aleck, as George helped him on with his evening coat, "Yes-, sir, thank you, sir," said George. . ~ He left word at the office that in case any one called he was to be informed that Mr, Vannit (C amp would return to the club for/the night; theiL in his silk hat and generally shining togs, he set forth to make a call. l i e was, no stranger to New Yorfc and usually he . took h|s cities, as "they dune, with a matterof-fact noncha* lance. He would be sa much i t borne noble height, evidently a woman of the world. She gave Mr. Van Camp her hand in a greeting mingled of European daintiness and American frankness. Her vitality and abounding interest in life were manifest. "Ah, bu't you are very late. This is how you become smart all at once in your New York atmosphere! But pray be seated; and here are cigarettes, if you will. No? Very well; but tell me; has that amorphous gill-slit—or, no, the branchial lamella—has it behaved itself and proved to be the avenue which shall lead you to fame?" Mr. Van Camp stood silent through this flippant badinage, and calmly waited until Miss Reynier had settled herself. Then he thoughtfully turned the chair offered him so as to command a slightly better view of the corner where she sat, leaning against -the old-rose cushions. Finally, taking his own time, he touched off her greeting with. his_precise drawl. "I'm not smart, as you call it, even in New York, though I try to be." His eyes twinkled and his teeth gleamed in his wide smile. "If I were smart, I'd pass by your error in scientific nomenclature, but really I ought not to do it. If one can not be exact—" "That's just what I say. If one can not be exact, why talk at all?" Miss Reynier caught it up with high glee. She had a foreign accent, and an occasional twist of words which proved her to be neither American nor Englishwoman. "That's my principle,"! she insisted. "Leave other people in undisturbed possession of their hobbies, especially in conversation, and don't say anything i f you can't say what you mean. But then, you won't talk about your hobby; and if I have no* one to inform me, how can I be exact? But I'm the meekest person alive; I'm so ready to learn." Mr. Van Camp surveyed first the bantering, alluring eyes, then turned his gaze upon the sofa luxuries about them. "Are you ready to turn this bijou dream into a laboratory smelling of alcohol and fish? Are you willing to spend hours wading in mudbanks after specimens, or scratching in the sand under the broiling sun? Science does not consult comfort." * Miss Reynier's expression of quizzical teasing changed to one of rather thoughtful inquiry, as i f she were estimating the man behind the scientist. Van Camp was one of the lean, angular type; like Jim Hambleton. He was also every manly and wholesome, but even in his conventional evening clothes there was something about him that was unconventional—a protesting, untamed element of character that reslsteq'alHnileB except those prescribed by itself. He puzzled her now, as he had often puzzled her before; but if she made fun of his hobbies, she had no mind to make fun of the man himself. A cheerful, intelligent smile Anally ended her'contemplating moment. "Oh; ho; no\d!ggihg In the jsand for me. I l l take what science I get in another way—put up in predig^sted packages or bottled—any way but the fishy way. But please don't give me up. You shed a good deal of light on my mental darkness last winter in Egypt, and maybe I can improve still more." She suddenly tarned with Aleck, not waiting for replies >to-'her remarks. "It's good to see you again! And I like it here" better than in Egypt, don't you? Don't you think this apartment jolly?" The shaded lamps made a pretty light over Miss Reynier's- cream-colored silk flounces, over the delicate lace on her waist* over her glossy dark hair and spirited face. As Aleck contemplated that face, with its eager yet modest and womanly gaze, and the noble outline of her figure, he thought, with an unwonted flowering of imagination, that she was not unlike the Diana of classic days. " A domestic Diana," he added in his mind. "She may love the woods and freedom, but she will always return to the hearth." Aloud he said: "If you will permjlt me, Miss Reynier, I would like to inform you at once of the immediate object of my visit here. You must be well aware—" At this point Mr. Van Camp, who, true to his nature, was looking squarely in the face of his companion, of necessity allowed himself to be interrupted by Miss Reynier's .lifted hand. She was looking beyond her visitor through the drawing- room door. "Mr. Chamberlain and Mr. Lloyd- Jones," announced the servant. Aa Miss Reynier swept forward with outstretched hand to greet the newcomers, Van Camp fixed his eyes on his hostess with a m i n t e d expression of masculine rage and submission. Whether he thought her too cordial toward the other men or too cool toward himself, was not apparent. Presently he, too, was shaking hands with the visitors, who were evidently old.friends of the house. Madame Reynier, the aunt of mademoiselle, was summoned, and Van Camp was marooned o na sofa with Lloyd'Jones, who was just in from the West. Aleck found himself listening to an interminable talk about copper veins and silver veins, a new kind of assaying instrument, and the good luck attendant upon the opening of LlQyd- j Jones' new mine, the Liza Lu. Aleck was the essence of courtesy to everything except sham, and was able to indicate a mild interest in Mr. B^oyd-Jones' mining affairs. It was sufficient. Lloyd-Jones turned sidewrse on his end of the soft, sfjread out plump, gesticulating hands, and poured upon him an eloquent torrent of fact, speculation and high-spirited enthusiasm concerning Idaho in general and the future of the Liza^ L u in particular. More than that, by and by his cheerful, half-impudent manner threatened to turn poetic. "It's great, living in the open out there/' he went on, by this time including the whole company in his exordium. "You ride or tramp, or dig rock all day; and at night you He down under the clear stars, thankful for your blanket and your rock-bed and your camp-fire; and more than thankful if there's a bit of running water near byk It's a great life!" Miss Reynier listened to him with eyes that were alternately puzzled and appreciative. It was a discourse that would have seemed to her much more natural coming from Aleck Van Camp; but then, Mr. Van Camp really did the thing—that sort of thing— and he rarely talked about It. It had probably been Mr. Lloyd-Jones' first essay in the world out of reach of his valet and a club cocktail; and he was consequently impressed with hiB achievement. It was evident that Miss Reynier and the amateur miner were on friendly terms, though Aleck had not seen or heard of him before. He had hobnobbed with M r . ' Chamber- Iain in London and oik more than one scientific jaunt. The slightest flicker of jealous resentment gleamed in Aleck's eyes, but his speech was as slow and precise as ever. "I was just trying to convince Miss Reynier that outdoor life has its peculiar joys," he said. "I was even now suggesting that she should dig, though not for silver Does Mr. Lloyd-Jones' lucre seem more alluring than my little wriggly beasts, Miss Reynier?" If Aleck meant this speeeh for a trap to force the young woman to Indicate a preference, the trick failed, as it deserved to fail. "I couldn^t endure either your mines or your mudpuddles. You are both absurd, and I don't understand how you ever get recruits for your hobbies. But come over and see this new engraving, Mr. Jones; it's an oldfashioned picture of your beloved Rhine." Aleck, thus liberated from Mr. Lloyd-Jones and bis mines, imade his way across the room to M aflame Reynier. The cunning of o^d Adam was in his eye, but otherwise he was the picture of deferential innocence. Madame Reynier loved Aleck, with his inoffensive Americanisms and unfailing kindliness; and with her friends she was frankness itself. With two men in Miss Reynier's hands for entertainment, it seemed to Aleck unlikely that either one could make any alarming progress. Besides, he was glad of a tete-a-tete with the chaperone. Mad a rue Reynier was a tall, straight woman, elderly/ dressed entirely In biack,1 with; f*aunt# aristocratic c features and g)^at directness hi speech. She had ttya &fce kind of hautjeur which forbids persons of this type ever to speak p r money, of disease/ of scandal, or of tod1 intimate personalities; in Madame Reynier's ease it also restrained her from every sort of exaggerated speech. She spoke English with some difficulty and preferred French. Van Camp seated himself on a spindle- legged, gilt chair by Madame Reynier's side, and begged to know how they were enduring the New York climate, which had formerly proved intolerable to Madame Reynier. As he seated himself she stretched out sav- Thg hands. "I can endure the climate, thank you; but I can't endure to see your life endangered on that silly chair, my dear Mr. Van Camp. There—thank you." And when he was seated in a solid mahogany, he was rewarded with Madame Reynier's confidential chat. They had returned to their New York apartment in the midst of the summer season, she said, "for professional advice." She and her niece liked the city an4 never minded the heat- Meianie, her aunt explained, had been enabled to see several old friends, and, for her own part, she liked home at any time of the year better than the most comfortable of hotels. "This is quite like home," she added, "even though we are really exiles." Aleck ventured to hope that the "professional advince" had not meant serious trouble of any sort. "A slight indisposition only." "And are you much better now?" Aleck inquired solicitously. "Oh, it wasn't I; it was Melanle," Madame smiled. "I became my own physician many years ago, and now I never see a doctor except when we ask one to dine. But youth has no such advantage." Madame fairly beamed with benevolence while explaining one of her pet idiosyncrasies. Before Aleck could make any headway in gleaning information concerning her own and Mclanie's movements, as he was shamefully trying to do, Lloyd- Jones had persuaded Miss Reynier to sing. "Some of those quaint old things, please," he was saying; and Aleck wondered if he never would hang himself with his own rope. But Lloyd- Jones' cheerful voice went on: "Some of those Hungarian things are jolly and funny, even though you can't understand the words. Makes you want to dance or sing yourself." Aleck groaneci; Dut Meianie began To~ sing, with Jones,hovering around the piano. By the time Melanle had sung everybody's favorites, excluding Aleck's, Mr. Chamberlain rose to depart. He was an Englishman, a serious, heavy gentleman, very loyal to old friends and very slow In making new ones. He made an engagement to dine, with Aleck on the following evening, and, as he went out, threw back to the remaining gentlemen an offer of seats in his machine. "I ought to go," said Jones; "but if Van Camp will stay, Twill. That is,", he added with belated punctiliousness, "if the ladies will permit?' "Thank .^ou, Chamberlain, I'm walking," drawled Aleck; then turning to the company with his cheeful grin he stated quite impersonally: "I was thinking of staying long enough to EXTENDING T H E A G R I C U L T U R A L AREA IN W E S T E R N CANADA. For sometime past the Canadian government has had surveyors' at work platting new areas for the accommodation of the largely increasing number of settlers coming in to occupy the agricultural districts of the three prairie provinces. There were those connected with the work of securing settlers for western Can: ada who last spring prophesied that there would be as many j.s 175,000 new settlers from the United States to Canada during the present year, and there were those who doubted that the previous year's figures of 132,000 could be increased. Recent computation made by the officials of thef immigration branch at Ottawa show that the largest estimates, made 1 by officials will be beaten and that the 200,000 mark from the^ United States will be reached. As great an increase will be-shown in the figures of those who will reach Canada from other countries this year. The results of the year's work in Canadian immigration will give upward of a total of 400,000 souls. But this is not to be wondered at when, it is realized what is offering in th.e three prairie provinces and also in the coast province of British Columbia, which is also bidding strongly and successfully, too, for a certain class of sutler, the settler who wishes tcykp into mixed farming or fruit raisfflg. When the central portion dr thiB province-is", opened up by the railway now being constructed there will be large areas of splendid^ land available for the settler. Reference has frequently been made of late by those interested 4n developing the American west to the large numbers who are going to Canada, high officials in some of the railways being amongst the number to give voice to the fact. The more these facts become known the more will people seek the reasons and these are best given when one reads what prominent people say of it. What the farmer thinks of it and what his friends say of it. James'A. Iflaherty, supreme knigtot of the Knights of Columbus, was in western Canada a short time ago. He says: "If I were a young man I would sell out my interests in less than two months and come right to the Canadian Northwest, where so many opportunities abound."—Advertisement Patriotism. A quaint little incident is related by a French war correspondent, which sheds light on the enthusiasm and nervousness with which the Greeks entered upon their war with Turkey. When the mobilization orders reached the little town of Chalkls, all owners of horses and mules hastened to comply, but there were no soldiers to escort the animals to Athens, where they were urgently needed, the military being already on the frontier. Thereupon the mayor, of Chalkis set an example, which was followed by two or three of the oldest lawyers, put"onequestfon—er, a matter of Borne school teachers, doctors and hotel little importance—to Miss Reynier. keepers.

"I came expressly to talk over that plan of building up friendly adjoining estates out in Idaho; sort of private shooting and hunting park! you know. And I haven't had, a minute to say a word." Jones suddenly began to feel himself^aggrieved. r As the door closed after Chamberlain, Meianie motioned them back to their.seats.

"I haven't seen you for a^es, and I don't know when the good moment will come again." She_ included the two men in a friendly smile, waved a hand toward the waiting chairs, and adjusted a light shawl over the shoulders of Madame Reynier. But Aleck by this time had the bit in his teeth and would not be coaxed. His ordinarily cool eye rested wrathfully on the broad shoulders of Mr. Lloyd-Jones, who was lighting a cigarette, and he turned abruptly to Miss Reynier. His voice was as serious as if parliament, at least, had been hanging on his words. "May I call tomorrow, Miss Reynier, at about twelve?" "Oh, I say," put in Jones, "all of you come to luncheon with me at the Little Gray Fox—will you? Capital place and all sorts of nice people. - Do come. About one." Van Camp could .have slain him.

Bather oddlv, as many think, the report of the majority is in favor oi extending the grounds on which divordb is now legally granted, while the minority recommends that the present English law on7 the subject be allowed to remain as it is, it being the view of the minority commissioners that it would be a dangerous step, imperiling the welfare and damaging to the morals of the British nation to make it any easier than it now is for manned people to become, separated. At present the only ground, on which a divorce can be obtained in tbe United Kingdom is marital rnfidelitv.

When Billy Papke of Kewanee, 111., returns to America it will be to Rattle for the middleweight boxing championahip of the world. When he is to return is not known at present, but It is thought It will be within, a few months. At present he is fighting in France and England with much success. He has been across the pond lesB than six months and in that period has won the championship of his division in England and France. He has had three battles and won all three on knockouts. Papke is in the form displayed when champion of the world and stood as a rival of Stanley Ketchel for the honors. Then he was referred to as' the "Illinois Thunderbolt." and he was deserving of the appellation. Defeats by Ketchel took most of the aggressive fighting spirit out of him and he has been some time in recuperating. It is said'he has fully recovered and is a "Tipton Slasher." He has his former knockout punch back and is as fast as ever. His condition, reports have it, could not be improved ^ffotriratttt°"he is iiiaTflng~~tke.,„ mlddTcT weight limit without any trouble. There will be considerable action In the middleweight ranks when Papke comes back. Asi^le from Ketchel, no 158-pounder was more popular than the Kewanee lad since the days of Tommy Ryan. His style of milling was liked, as was his willingness to "scrap" while in the ring. Papke, when struggling for the title a few years ago, never was known to stall. Getting into the ring and slashing toe to toe with his opponent was his chief hobby, and^he made himself famous with his "loop-de-lo6p" punch, which he first used successfully against Hugo Kelly in Milwaukee, when he conquered the then crack middleweight fighter. He has not changed his style of boxing; any, it is said. This means there ^ t r o u b l e ah£ad for Eddie Mc- Goorty and Mike Gibbons, who are striving to settle the middleweight championship of America among themselves. Neither has met a fighter of Papke's type and will find the going a bit rough wrhen they meet one. Neither can hit hard enough to stop Papke. Ketchel was known as the assassin in the ring when he knocked out thirty-three men in fortysix fights, and this included the bestsluggers of his day. Papke. hi his bouts with the late champion, staged a bitter and desperate fight and gave as good as he received until he was knocked out. He lost because Ketchel carried the stiffer punch. r W R E S T L E R S A R E VER*Y QUIET Mat Men, Usually Quite Susy at This Season of Year, Are Missing— Yussif Mahmout Coming.

The baseball and football seasons are past and we are now in the period of the year devoted to bowling, wrestling and basketball.

But now the only one who is roaring in our midst is Stanislaus 7i*y82ko, the ever-present Polish, claimant. If the wrestlerswere wise they would hustle up and make hay while the sun shines.

An hour or two after he had sent Anne Mayfleld enough rj^ses to fill her little studio, Don Rogefi^decided to drop in for a cup of tea, not that he cared for the tea, but under cover of the talk of the dozen or more he was sure to find there, he could watch Anne and revel in her beauty and charm. Anne was going to marry the Honenable Richard Bachman, a widower with a boy eight or nine years old. Laird Robbins had told him confidentially that he was in the jeweler's w)ien the elderly lover ordered "To Anne" inscribed in a circle of diamonds. Anne met him at the door, ond over her head Dan saw Bachman by the window, pinching off a rosebud, out of his own late purchase, to put in the lapel of his frock coat. "If you're engaged, Anne," he said pointedly, "I'd better not go in today." "Come right in this minute," urged Anne cordially. "You can go to market with me in a little while, and then stay to dinner if you will." Bachman had Mb hat in his hand ready to leave. 1 "You think it is pretty, then. Miss Anne?" Don heard him ask at the door. "It's lovely." said Anne with enthusiasm. "You've shown splendid taste." Anne shut the door quietly and .faced Donftaughter wrinkling up the corners of hep eyes. "Isn't this place a bower of beauty and fragrance? Your roses have made it summer here even if it is winter in the rest of the world. They're lovely, Don. What's the matter? Your face is so long and solemn." "Blue devils, I guess," he answered shortly. • "Mind if I smoke?" "Never did. did I? Puff away, but I'll have you know that if there ^are any blue devils in this box of an apartment, you brought them in your pockets. I ran them all out this morning and watched them freeze to death on the window sill." "You're mighty gay this afternoon, aren't you?" . "Yes, sir, for I have a contract with a big new magazine to furnish a, page of my cuties in every issue for the next six months." "What a clever girl you are, Anne! That^pencil of yours has made those little flgtrres^df people famous over the country." The door opened unceremoniously and Jimsie Bachman, the - sou and luj ir to the vast estates of the Honorable Richard, appeared. J? "Hello, Miss Anne! Got any cakes.?" "I certainly have. Come in and I'll get you some. You - know Mr. Rogers, don't yau?"^ "So you have a sweet toofh, Jimmy," said Rogers affably. "My name's not .Jimmy, it's Jimsie. I saw it in the Bible. I'm all the time having to tell my right name to folks." While Anne went foraging for cakes, Jimsie turned his back to the fire, hands clasped behind him, in the most approved man fashion. Mies Anne's helping dad get married," he asserted with the importance of one giving vital news. ^ "Really." - responded the man fcily. "Yes. she's helped him a lot 'bout s'lecting the ring and all," went on the loquacious youngster. "The lady's a friend of Miss Anne's. That's why she's so inter'sted." • "Who—whom is your father going to marry?" demanded Rogers, suddenly. "I promised not to tell anything about it to anybody," returned Jimsie, loftily. " I l l give you a dollar to tell me the truth." *"Gee! I'd a told for fifty cents,"" said Jimsie quickly forgetting his conscience. "It's Miss Anne Bradner, she lives in another town. Where's the money?" J "Here you are. Jimsie," said Afine, coming in just then. "I brought you a box full of cakee to take on the train tonight when you and your father go visiting." "What have you done with your blue ^devils?" she demanded, turning back from closing the door on her diminutive guest and facing a man with a very different expression from the one he had jvorn half an hour before. "Did you give them to Jimsie? He's very accommodating." "Very," he answered, and then as he watched her adjust a fur toque on her dark hair. "Are we going to market now—to buy a fat pig?" "No, not that," corrected Anne. "I need a few extras and I've been too busy to go^out today." She fastened a great crimson rose In her furs. "I have to take one with me," she said. " 'To you tt is a rose, to me, it is my heart,*" he quoted. "That's pretty sentiment, isn't it, Don ? You know so many .beautiful things to say to w o m e C - I wonder what you win say to the one woman when she comes into your life!?

"Come in here, Edward," said thegood man, and Edward went in. "I heard you say 'Oh, darn!' a moment ago." "Yes, papa."

With a slight tremor in his voice, he •aid: "I am in1 great trouble." "I see you are," I replied; "and I hear you are English. What brings you here?" He paused an Instant, and, passing his hand across his forehead, repeated: "I am i n great trouble." With a gesture, as if anxious to throw off his secret, he continued: "My name is Allen B , and my father is one. of the largest colliery owners in the north of England. Six months ago I came to Paris to study painting—" Again he paused, staring at me. Then suddenly he asked: "Do I look like a swindler—a' sharper?" "No; you do not. Why do you ask?" "Because, a fortnight ago I rose in the morning with an untarnished reputation, and, although I had committed, no wrong whatever, I went to bed a disgraced man." He wak laboring under strong emotion; a i d as he remained silent, I said: "Tell me what has occurred " "It fell upon me like a thunderbolt, at the house of Madame J , where I used to gOL_ojice_-A-ffie^jQXja^^ of cards. I was praying piquet, i^ the smoking room, with a young fi low called Bernard T , and hai won the first game. We had just gun the third, when Bernard juparped up and shrieked: " ' I have caught'you at las/. You are cheating!' 'The men at the other tables crowded around us, and Madame J , her daughter Genevieve, and their guests came running i n from the adjoining drawing room attracted by the noise. "I had grasped Bernard by the throat, calling out, 'Retract what you said, you villain, JOV I will kill you!' "They dragged him away from me, II* r s ^ & s white as a sheet; and the moment ne l»Ai caught his breath, he shook his fist at and bawled: "You say you'll kill 'riich You want me to retract? I tell you, you aas a cheat, a dirty cheat! Gentlemen, ask him to empty, his pockets, here before you, and you'll see whether I am right!" "I put my hands in the pockets of my smoking jacket, and pulled out-a dozen cards, corner-bent, like those used by professional sharpers. "There was a moment of silence, and then the Viscomte de St. said to me: 'This is a very serious affair. Have you any explanation to offer?' "Then the horror of my situation came upon me. I tried to rush at Bernard, but they laid hold of me. Frantic with rage, I shook them off. "'It's a lie! It's a lie!' I shouted. 'Gentlemen, this fellow, or some other scoundrel, has-r-heavens knows why— slipped these cards into my pocket. It is a fiendish trick some on? h i s played; and I call upon those here who know me to help to unmask the coward who did it!' * "They looked at me in silence, and after whispered consultation, ther Viscomte de St. spoke again: ^ "Mr. B——, I think it will be best if you and M . Bernard T withdraw for a few minutes to allow us to discuss this matter, and decide on the course to take.' "Bernard went upstairs to Madame's boudoir, and I to the drawing room,, where I found Mademoiselle Genevieve alone. For a while she took no notice of me as I nervously paced up and down the room, but when I stopped she remarked in a soft voice: " 'Monsieur Allen, I am sure you are Innocent.' "I pre§sed her hand. " 4Goa bless you, Mademoiselle Genevieve; T shall never forget your confidence in me. But, since you do not doubt me, I implore you to tell me whether you have any suspicion, any idea, as to who could have laid this trop for me?* "She thought a moment, and then replied: ' " 'Nd, Monsieur Allen, I have not the faintest idea. I wish I could help you/ "She looked up, and I <could read i n her eyes that she had spoken the truth.

Several days I spent trying to unravel this' niys^ tery, when 1 received two letters from England. The first was from my father. The poor man is heart-broken. He had had a full account of what had occurred at Madame's house. He advised me to go away, somewhere inthe Colonies, and remain there till this affair is forgotten. The other letter was—" He again stopped, and hid his face in his hands. "It was from my fiancee, the girl I was to have married in three months, on my return to England. She, too, knew all about it, and informed me that-^must consider our engagement* d. I at once wrote to my fad to my fiancee, telling them that I had been the victim of a horrible T>lot, imploring them to reply by return post; but neither of them has sent me a line. I then remembered my friend, L . de V , a school-chum, now on the diplomatic service. He has known me all my life; and, after I had told him my story, he gave me this introduction to you. Monsieur Goron, I beg of you to help me!" "I certainly will try to help you," I replied; "but your story is incomplete. I want to hear more about these people—the "vicomte, Bernard T , Madame J——, and even—if you a41ow. me—Mademoiselle Genevieve. Who are they?1' "Madame J is tho widow of a naval officer. I was introduced to her the first week I arrived in Paris, by a man in the studio where I was paint ing. She received every other evening.

"You are right, Monsieur Goron— last, but not least; for .1 believe she Is the Innocent cause of this business. I have been thinking nisht aiid day, and I am sure I have found the clue to this mystery."

There can be no other cause why anybody should try to compromise me in such a horrible 'way. With your help we will get to the bottom of it." "It is a queer, a very queer business; darker than you seem to think. I do not say this to alarm you, but to prepare you for a few surprises. Give me the addresses of all the people you have just mentioned, and come here to-morrow at four o'clock* Don't think of revenge; this may, or may not, come later. The first thing to be done is to clear you." My visitor thanked me and went away with a lighter step. But when he returned the following* day he looked more distressed than before. "What has gone wrong?'1 I asked. "Any fresh trouble?" "No," he replied moodily, "except that I have had a letter from our lawyer begging me to go away at once— for the honor of the family."' With a suppressed oath he threw the le/ter on my table. — "Never mind^he lawyer. Tell him to go to (he—Colonies himself.

"Yes, but I gave up because—" "You found you lost too much?" "You've guessed it. I did lose/'* "How much?" "About, two thousand-dollars." "Just what I expected. I have received some queer reports about your friends. Madame J 's reputation is 7ar from good, and I suspect her salon to be a trap to swindle people—like you. Bernard T certainly didx inherit some money last year, but he ran through it; and he is now the associate, and possibly the tool, of professional gamblers. As to the vicomte, there is some mystery here, and I distrust mysteries. And now, my dear, Mr. B , I am- afraid I must say something that will upset you. You have undoubtedly an enemy—not that Bernard—but a man, or woman, who has a more potent interest in ruining your reputation. Look into the past, and see whether you can detect any such person." Mr. B stared at me in amazement. f "An enemy!" he cried. "I. en enemy? I have never ptaod In anybody's way, and no 2ian in mine. As to womer ». t:;ey have played no part in ray life. I have fallen in love only once —and that with the girl I was to have married," he added with a bitter smile. "You will not be the first to have made such a startling discovery. Others have made it; and in this very room, too. I see I cannot look to you fgr assistance in this business. Keep quiet until you hear from me. I hop<3 it will be soon." I do not know a more villainous offense than that of sullying a man's reputation, to rob him of what is dearer^ to him than life—his honor. And I resolved to use all my energy to come to this poor fellow's assistance; especially as the conviction grew upon me that my young friend was the victim of a plot, a fiendish conspiracy, and 0 I'tvtiM details about by Martha Dto give me some the disturbance caused She had, it seems, smkshed a window, using threatening, language, and the yicomte had applied for a summons.

She was very selt-possessed, .and asked what I wanted of hor. "And so you had a scene with your friend, the vicomte?" She turned,sharply around, and her eyes grew warlike. v "My 'friend,' you call him? I can dispense with such friends. When a map borrows money from a woman, and does not pa£ her, the least he can do ,is' to be civil to her!" "That is true. Why did he borrow money from you?" "I don't know. At times he has plenty of cash, and at others not a cent." "I suppose he gambles a bit?" "You bet! Since he goes to that new club in the Rue Maubeuge, he is always flush with mone£. , H e has been wonderfully lucky there; too much so, I fancy." "Why too much bo?" "Oh, I don't know!" And she shrugged her shoulders. J d»d x^t '.Mr.it it prudent to press the point. "If he borrowed money from you, and, as you say, has now plenty, why does he not pay you?" "He might have done so; but he has his silly pri(Je. He was annoyed that I alluded to it in the presence of his friend, an Englishman—although that man did not understand a word of FreBci)— and he had specially asked me to come that evening. I would have done better to have gone away, as I was getting cross at their talking English all the time." "Possibly he,-*too, was cross, if the Englishman paid you too much attention." "No," she laughed, "he is too fond of himself to notice Buch things. And the Englishman was too absorbed in what the vicomte was saying."

During his narrative of the tragic scene'at Madame J 's house, I had not been favorably impressed by the attitude of this vicomte, th^ self-conctituted president of the impromptu tribunal of honor. I therefore decided to leave the fiery Bernard alone for the,present, and take the my.torious nobleman in har.d, after having first found out who he was. I confided the la:ior mission to Nicholas, one of my men, whom his colleagues h^d nicknsmed the "Diver," because^of his wonderful skill in "divnto people's pasts, and unearthing the most hidden secret a.

I then entered the baccarat room, where, around a lo.»g table, covered with green baize, a dozen persons were seated. I looked about me. It was still early, and tne business Of the evening had not begun. The players were of the ordinary type. The majority of them were pigeons ready to be plucked, the rest bore the undeniable" stamp of the professional gambler. My attention, however, waa centered on the croupier ^ Few people—even those in the habit clubs or in casinos of well-known wa tering-fclaces—have a rembtg idea of the important post this official holds. With a long, flat, wooden s c o o p - something like a cricket-bat—he rakes in the counters from-the losers, and pays the winning side. In great clubs, these men are carefully watched to avoid any trickery; but in the small gambling-dens their role 1* altogether a different one. When som* one opens one of these deqs, Which, being clubs* can be raided only croupier becomes are bent on robwith difficulty, the his partner. Both bery. If the proprietor—always a professional sharper—takes the bank, fy? will cheat the players by a spries of tricks, too numerous to be explained here. When, however, a guileless stranger acts as banker, the croupier's role comes i n ; for, while he rakes in the money for the banker, a portion of it disappears into his pockets in # manner which only the most expert eye can detect, * * :) For the benefit of the uninitiated I will explain the principles of the game: The player** sit on the right and left of the banker, who has several complete packs of cards in front of him. When the players have staked their money, the banker deals one card to the rigbt, one card to the left^and one to himself. He repeats this operation. One of the players on either tide of the banker takes up the cards and plays them against the banker for his side of the table. The object of the game is to score nine—-not more—or as near that number as possible^—with the two card^; a third card can be had if desired. Court-hards and tens aro valueless. If the total of the spots comes to more than ten, ten must be deducted. If the banker's score is below that of the player's he loses; if above, he wins. Slowly the room began to fill, and toward half-past eleven a tall, thin man with a grayish beard and small piercing eyes came i n ; from the de^ scription given me I recognized the Vicomte de St. . He smoked a cigarette, paying little attention to what went on at the table, where a banker, with only three hundred francs in the bank, was dealing his cards in a desultory fashion. All at once the vicomte's face brightened, and he went up with extended hands to vome fashionably dressed men who had just entered. I guessed they were what in - gambling-hourse parlance Is called r 'Big Game." I then gave up my seat at the table, where I was too much In view, and stood behind tiuj-^piayers, where I could watch everything. A bright-looking youth took tho bank for five thousand francs, and play began in real earnest. Somebody called "Hanco" (staking all there'is in the bank), nnd the excilenient rose to a high pitch. Thus far the vicomte had not joined in the game; at last, to my delight, I saw him take'^u bank, also for five -thousand francs. He called for fresh cards* This call for fresh cards at such a time demands an explanation. In the gambling world it Is well known that, after the- cards have been shuffled, cut, and placed in front of the banker, it is easy for the latter, by sleight of hand, to put a few prepared cards on the top that will give him two or three winning deals. If, therefore, the banker asks for fresh cards, tho uninitiated— and, unfortunately, they form the majority—suppose that ,no trickery is possible. I am sorry 4o have to disabuse them. The woQst swindles are"""'practiced with socallei new packs. I say "socalled," because in the directorial sanctum they have undergone a curious process. The pack is held over a steaming kettle, the wrapper skilfully removed, the cards taken out, arranged to give the dealer the advantage, and ar:'iin cr.rrfuMy replaced in the original wrapper. The study I had in former years been compelled to make of these practices, now proved useful, and I moved behind the vicomte's chair so as not to lose one of his movements. Five new packs were brought in, and the croupier undid the four, leaving one'on the niantlepiece. Reshuffled the four-packs with a great deal of zest, yet so dexterously that their order was not changed. The man was a great expert in the "sham-shufiling" trick. Of all thjg_peopleVin the room I, certainly, waa the most interested in the game, for I was playing for higher stakes than any of them—(or a man's honor. Supposing these cards, brought on a tray, should not have been tampered with; supposing the vicomte played a fair game, without any attempt at cheating; my whole combination fell to the ground, and I should have to invent ano:her mode of attack. I held my breath when the first cards were dealt; and then a feeling of relief came over me, for I at once recognized the famous combination, known as the "705." or, more appropriately, the "Lightning Flash," because of the rapidity with .-Which it cleans out its victims. And, by way of curiousity, I give below this extraordinary scries, from which it will be seen that, with the exception of two deals, where banker and players have the same points, the former wins every coup. The players mny rut as many times as .they like; li \\. 1 not affect the game!* A quarter of. an hour later the vicomte rose. He smiled, and could well afford to do so, for he had made a big haul.

"Certainly. But first ring the bell and s-end away your servants." i My orders were obeyed. "And now," I continued, "follow me into the card room."' 1 led the way, and from the mantelpiece took the fifth pack, xjeft there when the vicomte had dealt the cards.- The croupier, who had remained behind, moved toward the door. "Come ^ere!" t shouted to him. "Take off your coat and waistcoat, and hand them to me." He did so, trembling with fear, and out of several long pockets, lined with velvet to deaden the sound, If tock a handful of counters. "You scoundrel!" I said, "I watched you do this. And now, clear out; I want to talk i o your "master—and accomplice." I handed the vicomte the pack of cards I had taken up, and said: "Let me call them over to you with my back turned. Seven, nought, five, nine, nought—I forget the rest; but I think this ought to be enough. I have seen the 'Lightning Flash* done before. Do you want any more reasons why I came here tonight?" He seemed stunned, and shook his head. "Cannot this scandal be avoided?" he asked. "Expect nothing from me, until you have told me the whole truth about the Allen B affair at Madame j >s what was the object of, that conspiracy, and who is at the bottom of it?" He looked at me with a cunning expression. , | "I think I see your gamey Monsier. Goron. Allow me to comlrtfment you on your skill.- In other words, you want me to make certain disclosures. In that case, It is but right I should—" I gave him no time to finish bis sentence, but, seizing him roughly by the arm, shouted: "I arrest you, you scamp t »> What I expected happened. The coward in him came to the fore. He 4H4nged nnd crawledT--^nd—theg-~te4dme he had instructed Bernard T to elip the cards in poor Allen B 's pockets. "Whose orders did you carry out?M "An Englishman's'." "Harold W , or, in reality, Edward K — ? " He pave me a surprised glance. "Yos." • . • "For what reason?" "I don't, know. You can believe me, It is a secret between him and Allen \\ , and. I would never have done this thing had I not been in Edward K 's hands. He compelled me to do it." He put. his statement down In writing, and then took me to his apartinput, where, at my request, he handed me two letters from Edward, K . I whs on the point of leaving when I remembered Mademoiselle Marthe. "Sit down again, and write a note to the police commissary in your district, that you wish to withdraw your charge against Marthe D ." The vicomte, who had given un feeling surprised at. anything, wroft the note, and handed it to me. It was six o'clock and broad daylight when I reached home. I at once sent for Allen B . "Who is Edward K ?" I asked be» fore he had even time to sit down, "A distant connection. Why?" i "What object had he in disgracing you?" "He? Impossible—he belongs to a firpt-elnffl county family." "Rlnw your county families! Read this!" and I handed him the vicomte's statement. I never thought it possible that delight and horror could be expressed at the same time on anybody's face. Allen B - performed that extraordl* nary feat. Then he shook me by both hands until my arms ached, and exclaimed: "What a scoundrel! Who could have dreamed this? Monsieur Goron, it all dawns'upon me now. Three years ago that man proposed to a Jady to whom I afterward became engaged. She rejected him, and he—" "That will do. These are family secrets.

His attitude is that cf the mad bull against the toreador; and e very<spaad bull, we know, sometimes gets a horn into the toreador's anatomy and tosses him over the palings. This happened in a way at Adrianople. "Victory is to the heaviest battalions," Bonaparte said this, but after Caesar said it after some general of Egypt, Babylon or Nineveh. , The allies knew that tb^ir success depende . on speed in a fall campaign —speed and the shock of masses pour* ing over the frontier. Theirs was a hundred-yard-dash chance. The Serbs at Kumanova, their critical battle, had odds of at least four to one.

He stormed forts; he went ahead to plant new minarets in the soil of Christendom.

In Riilgnrila, w W p many Turk*? ptill l i v e under Christian rule, we' had «een the Terrible Turk, the great fighting man of the past, whose soul was supposed to be above lowly toil, as a hewer of wood and a carrier of water. He did odd jobs in the absence of the Bulgarian at the front. T b e Hon of the past had been trained to dog harness. A l l the earry victories of the Bulgarian army completed an impression «of. a one-time lordly race demoralized a n d enervated, who retained only the fataitem of "Kismet," in its lexocon. T%e warrior'* cry, "For Allah!" was lost forever. But at Adrianople "For Allah? For the Minarets! For the Padlsna! ' rose again to the dignity "wWcb abandoned bravery always commands. !The sheer, Impetuous fearlessness *>f the Bulgarian, well drilled and coolly manipulated, was the first great revelation of the campaign, and the second was how, In the hour of hopelessness, his desperation arousjed the old qualities of the Turk. iBvery situation, eve^y development I n the war reverted to Adrianople.

Bulgars Bear War's Brunt. So the Bulgarians took the great 'and telling work of the war on their shoulders. You have only to know the Bulgarians to understand that this .was inevitable. There is stubborn an4 aggressive character enough in Bulgaria to spare for all southwestern Europe, Bulgaria made a hundred-yard dash with ox cart transportation, and made it around an obstacle—Adrianople. The main railroad line and the great Constantinople highway ran by Adrianople. It was on the direct line of communication from the center of the Bulgarian base to the center of its objective. In the center of Thrace, it was the only real fortress on the way to Constantinople. Kirk-Killis8eh, or Losengrade, as the Bulgarians call it, despite their willingness to allow an impression of its formidaliHty to be spread abroad, was not in any sense well fortified. Now, the first thing was to surround Adrianople; that is, to strike at it from all sides, as the key to the position. A" branch of, the main Sofla- -Conotantlnoplo ra-Hroad-Jjne runs to ffttch were the instructions which fir, Daneff, the Elihu Root of the Bals a m , took with £ i m to London. Adrfanople'. was graven on the minds of M s countrymen. By diplomacy he -mast get a fortress which was not jFBt taken by force of arms; d a n c e at a map -and you will see t h a t the whole success of the allies depended on bottling up the Turk on t h e peninsula, so that all the other forces;<l?om Scutari to Adri- •UtC Iron* Kdftanova to Hasetfha, !^<§at-^Jbamu communicaieiOreek|, Serbs, and Mon- ,fere the backs. The Builerteolc to buck the line....( Id; not- »ave to consider European public, tlousies of the powit substitutes, for statesmanship, pi* were beat permit lulgariai* ;tj win; Yamboli. With this as its base, Deme trieff's, or the First, army swung around Kirk-Kilisseh, which was taken in the first splendid ardor of the campaign. With its fall anyone can see from a staff map that any battle line of defense with Adrianople as a part of it was impossible for a force of the numbers of the Turkish main army. Two or three hundred thousand men who were homogeneous might have held on, but not half that number when badly organized. Therefore, Nazim Pasha had to fall back to a new line and leave Adrianople to care for itself. Reveals Bulgar Courage. The next step was the decisive battle on the line from Lule Burgas to Bunnarhissar. There, again, superiority of numbers, as well as organization, counted; that superiority, which makes a h?avy turning movement possible while the^ enemy'B front is engaged. In short, the Bulgarians had the Turks going. They gave the Turks no rest, and they had a sufficient numerical preponderance, in addition.to the dependable courage of their infantry to guarantee success* So there was nothing wonderful about the strategy of the campaign, nothing new, nothing startling. The old principle of the swift movement had been applied to the situation in hand. > By the flank the Japanese kept putting the Russians back from /the Yalu to Mdkden.^By the flank Grant put Lee back to Richmond. There was just one, and only one, startling feature In this war—Bulgarian courage, f hat enabled Demetrieff to gain at Kirk-Killisseh and Lule Burgas in a hurry what with most armies would have required much more time. Demetrieff had willing flesh for a necessary sacrifice. He threw his infantry against frontal positions In a cloud, into shrapnel and automatic gun fire, without waiting to silence the enemy's batteries. Expected to Take Adrianople. And after Lule Burgas the next step would have seemed the storming of Adrianople. When peace negotiations should begin, It was a vital point in their favor in the negotiations to have Adrianople in their possession. The^Bulgarian treatment of the cor^, respondents is one of the manySrv dlcations that the Bulgarian staff did at one time expect to take Adrianople by storm. It was argued by serious correspondents who did not feel that they ought to waste their time or. the money of their papers In idleness, that the Bulgarian government ought not to have received any correspondents at all. But this was not logic to the government. The press represented public opinion. It could serve a purpose, and ail the college professors in the land who spoke any foreign language found their work in the common cause, no less than grandfamade of the wounded, nor even of the weather, if it were bad, for bad weatb- ,er might tell the enemy that the roads Were bad. <j. i * While many an ixaaginaw account, because it had the similitude of narrative which characterizes all convincing fiction, was haUed as real war correspondence, t h V Bulgarian staff, when, it came to actual reports pf actions (exclusive of massacres),, was scrupulously exact andexasperatingly late and brief. •* A l l praise by the press kept the ball of the prestige of victory rolling. It helped to convince the powers and the Turk that the Bulgarian army was irresistible. The Btage climax of the whole campaign would be the fall of Adrianople. Therefore were the -correspondents moved to Mustapha Pasha just as Lule Burgas was being won; and Constantinople, being then supposedly defended only by a demoralized army, which could not make a stand, every report from Mustapha PaBha ^which showed that Adrianople was on the point of capitulation added to the stage effect of Bulgarian triumph. Turks Defy the Bulgars. As the first Bulgarian army drew near the Tchatalja lines, the mise en scene was complete; ffut Nazim Pasha, making use of the elapsed ti'me to fortify the Tchatalja lines, rather than submit to the humiliating termfi offered, bade' the Bulgarian hosts "come on." ' Success had turned the bedds even of the Bulgarian staff. They had begun to think that the^bld fighting quality was out of the Turk, and so'wiHing was the Bulgarian infantry to undergo, slaughter that it was only a case of recording another charge of flesh against shrapnel and automatic gUn fire, and the day was won. Alas, an old principle of war, dealing with an impossibility of the same order as squaring the circle in mathematics, was now to bring generalship back from the clouds to solid earth. You can take strong positions in front only with time by sapping and mining and all the weary operations of a siege, as the Indomitable Grant learned by the failure of his flrsh rush General Demetrieff. at Vlcksburg and the, Indomitable Nogi learned by the failure of the first rush attack at Port Arthur. In a week, any army that has spades and a few of the resources of material which should be part of the storehouse at its base should make such a position as that of the series of rising Irills back of Tchatalja fully tenable against any but siege attack, unless there was* room for a flank attack.' Turks Turn the Tables. And the breadth of the position turning \ open to infantry approach in any attempt at storming was only 16 miles, while from either sea side of the narrow etrip^ of peninsula the Turkish navy could bring into play more powerful guns than any Demetrieff had at his disposal. At the same time there is to be kept in view the generally accepted tenet that you must not send infantry against any well entrenched position until its batteries are silenced or it is known that they can be kept under control during the infantry attack by a well concentrated fire of your own batteries. Demetrieff used his guns ;tbr a day in trying to develop the strength and location of the enemy's batteries. But the Turks would not be drawn. At last the tables were turned. Meanwhile Adrianople also was telling. You may discuss as much as you please whether the original plan of the Bulgarian staff was to mask this fortress or to take it by storm, the fact remains that the only result was to mask it, and the lesson was that any garrison in the rear of an advancing army, though it is held securely in investment, remains a mighty force In being for the enemy's purpose. Nature meant Adrianople to be a fortress. Past it on the soutfi flows the Maritza river, taking its origin in the Balkans and , plowing its way across the alluvial lowlands of Thrace to the sea. A strong bridge crosses it on the line of the Constantinople highway at Mustapha Pasha, some twentyfive miles from Adrianople. This bridge, which is not far from the Bulgarian frontier, the Turks left intact, jkjeharacteristic piece of carelessness in the.earlier part of the war ther found-hia-in driving an ^x-cart-fiu-keeping with-all otheT-slgns-TyrTiir. Jjcish demoralization and wrongheadedpess, which might easily lead the Bulgarians to think that Adrianople would not resist a brilliant onslaught .'

It was Papastepe and Kartaltepe which wakened Ivanoff from hia dream of a final brilliant stroke in keeping with the earlier ones of the war, just as Tchatalia brqught Demetrieff down from the clouds of overconfidence. Papastepe is one of many hills in the narrowing rib of the 203 Meter H i l l of the siege. With guns in position .there, Adrianople would be under bombardment. The Bulgarians took it by sending in the usual cloud of infantry and losing about a thousand men. But the Turks took it back again. Four times, I am. told, it changed hands in the course of those night actions which we observed only by the brilliant flashes in the sky above the hills. Far up the valley in the' mist was Kartaltepe, that* other important hill which commanded the river bottom of the Arda. We took Kartaltepe in November and a month afterward, in one of their splendid sorties, the Turks, so far as I could learn, had taken it back; but it was as untenable for them as Papastepe was for the Bulgarians. Possibly because it was again ours and very evidently ours permanently, the Bulgarian censors had found it worth while to confound skepticism and persistent unfriendly rumors by allowing the correspondents to enter the promised land of their dreams, where for weeks, between the batteries on the hills and the infantry in the muddy river bottom of the Arda, hell had raged in the winter rains. We did not know then, as we were to know a few days later, that beyond Kartaltepe in the direction of Delegatch was another force isolated from the Adrianople garriscm^a^a^nievmain Turkish army, that/of Xaver P,as with 10.000 men, caught in the literal flood of that 100-yard dash of the ready, informed, prepared aggressor against the unready enemy taken un aware and hastening re-enforcements to the scattered garrisons and trying to adjust itself for the blow to fall with the crash of a pile driver released from its clutch.

Do you seethe Adrianople garrison (which was inrtouclj by wireless with the,Turkish main army) striking out to connect up with Taver Pasha? Do you see Taver Pasha trying out lines of least resistance in a savage effort to reach Adrianople or the main Turkish army? Something to stir the blood, this, in the way j f \ war drama, while not a single foreign correspondent or attache knew even of the existence of Taver Pasha's command Until its surrender. The news of this was conveyed with the. official assurance that now" no other Turkish force except that of Adrianople remained in Thrace, when we had been under the impression for over a month that It was the only one! The censors did not smile as they posted the bulletin, but some of the correspondents smiled—at themselves. No, after the first rainbow hope of a successful general attack was over, Ivanoff was fully occupied in holding Adrianople safely in siege. That battery of old Krtipps, which fired over the advanced Servian infantry position, while a battery of Crejisotr in turn fired over it, added'their items o£ evidence to the same end. These Krupps were taken* by the Russians at Plevna in the war of 1877« 78 and given to the little army of the new nation of Bulgaria. Bulgarian recruits had dragged them through the muddy rt»ads and over the pastures and beautifully emplaced them, and were working them against the enemy with boyish pride. But the world wa thinking only of the modern Creusots and their brilliant showing. The Bulgarians almost proved that you can make bricks without straw. They won the war by the bravery of their: self-confidence as Well as by their courage. Adrianople, which was about to starve if it did not fail, had, I am convinced, two months' supplies when the armistice was signed. With the Id and 20-year-old conscripts already on the way to the front, with a casualty list that is, easily one-fifth of the whole army, there was no sign of weakening. The square chin of the stoical Bulgarian'was as firmly set as ever., I wonder what would happen in Europe if it included in its borders a nation of 100,000,000 Bulgarians! * The six powers are urging Turkey to abandon Adrianople and to accept in principle the terms proposed by the Balkan allies at the last session of the peace conference. It was learned from a semi-official source that Great Britain, France and Russia, the triple entente, and Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy, of the triple alliance through secret diplomacy, are advising the porte to accept the proposal of the allies* because for Turkey to refuse would cause the Balkan war to be resumed, and resumption of hostilities might endanger the peace of the rest of Europe, always admittedly precarious. Diplomats admitted that the situation was a most delicate and difficult one, because the militarists of Constantinople and the Young Turks are advocating the breaking off of negotia* tions renewal of hostilities.

That 99 pet cent, of all the cocaine and morphine * manufactured in ttys country is used by persons who have formed the drug habit through physicians' prescriptions is the startling statement made by Dr. L . F. Kebler> Chief of the Division of Drugs, Department of Agriculture. This statement, and others, proving that physicians and not "patent" medicines are responsible for the appalling growth of drug addiction in tbe United States was made by Dr. Kebler in an address at Washington, before the American Society for the Study of Alcohol, and Narcotics. Dr. Kebler is quoted by Washington papers as having declared that drug using had increased 100 per cent, in the last 40 years, and that American medical men were not discriminating enough in their use of opiates. Their overindulgence to their patients, he said, is creating thousands of drug users every year. "It is a very sad thing to say that our physicians are doing the greatest work in promoting the use of cocaine and morphine," said the doctor. "State laws are not saving the public from the grip of the drug habit, and the American public is sinking tighter anji tighter Into the black abyss of the morphine and cocaine fiend. "The worst of it is that the importation of opium into the country is becoming larger and larger year by year. - I nave heard it said on reliable authority that 99 per cent, of the cocaine and morphine manufactured in this country is used by persons who have forme^ the habit through doctors' prescriptions." •'-Almost siniultaneousJy with Dr. Kebler's address, Dr. J.

Especially that day was Henry a thorn in the older boy's flesh. In his efforte"to rid himself of his burden, William restorted to all the methods the mind of youth suggested, but in vain. Henry continued to stick as close, if not closer, than a brother.

Misunderstood Editor's Use of French Word, and Trouble Was With Difficulty Averted. It was in Indiana, not so very long ago, that the daughter of an'old White River farmer was reading the country newspaper tot himself. She had got to the "Personals," and. read this: « "Mrs. Willie Morritts, nee Black, has returned from a visit to her parents in Indianapolis." "I don't quite understand* that," said the old gentleman. "What don't you understand?" inquired the daughter. "That part about Mrs. Willie Morritts, nay Black/ What does 'nay Black* mean?" ""On, that's French, and means she was born Black." "Yes; nee is French for born." "Well, it ain't so!" ejaculated the old man, jumping up—"and—shaking his fist."

(By G. B. SUDWORTH.) The wood user's need of a reliable means of recognizing commercial woods has become greatly emphasized in recent years because of the enormous demand for standard kinds and species of woods. This increased use is necessitating, in some cases, the substitution of similar or entirely different woods for. many of the wellknown and long-used ones, the supplies of which no longer meet the demand. Some of the substitutes offered are as good as standard timbers, while others are inferior to them. However this may be, the frequent discovery by consumers that they have not received the woods ordered has led to a great many difficulties and to serious controversies involving expensive lawsuits. In many instances manufacturers believe that in substituting, for example, the woods of several different species of ffhe white oak for that of the true white oak, they are doing no injustice to purchasers, and this belief is reasonably supported by facts. Much depends upon the uses made of the timber. No one could deny that for some purposes the woods of the con oak, overcup oak, post oak, bur oak and 1 Blue Oak. The Rate of Gro This Tree Requires From Fifteen to Twenty Years to Grow One Inch in Diameter. stant work has made him familiar, his knowledge of other woods is necessarily limited, Cdnfronted with the necessity cf distinguishing the few oak woods he knows from a larger number of different species, the characters he has long and safely relied upon are often insufficient because they may be common to the wood of some of the oaks with which he is unfamiliar. Thus a carefully selected, well-seasoned piece of water oak (Q. nigra) may be so similar in color and general appearance to some grades of white oak as to deceive not a few unacquainted with the structural characteristics of all our oaks. Another difficulty that may be encountered by one who depends entirely upon an empirical knowledge of woods is to prove his convictions regarding the identity of a wood. For 'Want of exact knowledge of the anatomical characteristics of the wood in question, he can only insist upon his opinion. It happens in actual practice that one inspector passes as white oak a shipment composed of white oak, black oak and red oak, and his judgment is challenged by another inspector, yet in such an event neither is able to do more than assert his opinion. It must not be understood that a study of the structural characters of woods always renders identification easy. It is sometimes extremely di/fl-I cult to find characters that distinguish the woods of closely related 'trees, which may be abundantly distinct in their flowers, fruit and foliage. It is comparatively easy to point out simple characters which distinguish oak from other woods. Moreover, it is not difficult to find characters that will separate the white oaks (annual fruiting species) from the black and red oaks (biennial fruiting species). The task, however, of pointing out easily observed distinctions that can be relied upon to separate the woods of different species of white oaks, black oaks and red oaks is difficult, and, in a few instances, impossible without the aid of the high magnifying power of a ~" cinnp&mi4^niicroscdpe. This is because some of the mTnute structural chaTacflwamp white oak are as good as that of white oak. But the substitution, for example, of the somewhat similar black and red" oaks for true white oak is less easily defended, because these substitutes are very different in quality from atiy of the white-oak woods. With numerous oaks, therefore, as with man£ other woods, the consumer has " occasion- to distinguish, such superficial characters as color, feel, odor, hardness, weight, etc., cannot, be depended upon alone as distinctive^ because they vary not only with tfcs age of the tree but also according to the soil in which the tree grew and the ^season and manner of cutting. The butt log differs from the top log, , the heartwood from the B&pwood, and the wood of a rapidly grown tree from that of a less rapidly grown one of the same species. While the practical woodworker recognizes the woods with „which con- B a c k a c h e M a k e s A n y o n e F e e l Nothing ages anyone more quickly than weak kidneys. It is not aloLe the aching back, the stiff, painful joints, but the evil effect of bad. poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital organs and the digestion. The condition of the kidneys makes good health or ill-health. , The kidneys are the filters of the--blood. Active kidneys filter from the blood every day over one ounce of poisonous waste and pass it off dissolved in the urine. If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only part of this filtering is done and the blood is heavy with uric acid and other poisonous or waste matter. > Instead of being nourished by the blood, the nerves and vital organs are irritated, and the circulation, digestion, etc., are disturbed. If your back aches constantly, if your joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect the kidneys. Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull, heavy, restless at night, rheumatic, dizzy at times, subject to headaches and annoyed with sharp, piercing pains that make work an agony and rest impossible. Doan's Kidney Pills are the best-recommended and most widely used remedy for weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick-., ly; contain no poisonous nor habit-form^ ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects of any kind—just make you feel better all over.

This was in ful- December 31, 1912. To the People of the State of Michigan, and their Forty-Seventh Legislature: Section five of Article six of the Constitution of the State ot Michigan, relating to the viuties of the Governor, is. as follows: "He shall communicate by message to the legislature, and at the close of his official term to the incomif^g legislature, the condition of the stata and ecommend such measures as he may deem expedient." Obedient to that mandate of the people, I find satisiaction in reporting to you that, although the state had a deficit two years ago to the amount of near amillion dollars and was consequently in disgrace, it is now out of debt and has a surplus in the treasury of near a million dollars. The rate/Of taxation haF been lowered and should continue to lessen Hundreds cf millions of dolinrs in property have been added to the tax rolls. More should be added at once. Conditions throughput the %tate are good. Institutional and departmental efficiency has increased. New economies are being practiced and there/are many others that may be resor<ed to. Progressive laws should be enacted comprehending more equal taxation and the assessment of porperty tangible and intangible now escaping taxation; insuring greater purity and honesty in election^ and returns; conserving the rights of the masses and improving their conditions; divorcing the organised Mquor interests from_ politics; practically alul effecTiveTy checking the devastation of alcohol, the too easy supply and consequent excessive use of ^nich cause measureless misery; realizing the responsibility of the strong to k h ^ w e a k , the duties of public brotherhood and of the state- ia all of its citizens; concentrating responsibility in visible officials chosen by votes in wieldy election districts; and keeping step with the onward match of better public business, highe- humanism, applied ethics and pure morals. There is little danger that such new and needful legislation will be created too rapidly for practical adjustment to it of the life artd affaire of the state, but heed to this^may well be given. It may also be retnembered that the form of government is best that is best administered. I do not need to urge you, as legisaltors, to whom has been delegated all the power of the people of Michigan ^whose average of citizenship is the highest in the world, to be true to j-our trust, because I have faith that you will be. I do not need to suggest to ^ o u that citizenship should take precedure of partisanship aft that the welfare of the state is to be thought of before any consideration 11$ given to party politics, because you are as well seized of these axioms as I am. I do not need to request your respectful and patriotic oo-eperation with the distinguished citizen who has just been inaugurated Governor of the State, because you will contribute such an attitude of your own free will. And I do not need to obtrude a long message of suggested Ailment of the understanding when he legislation which would only tend to confUBe the new order if remembered, 8nd be of l o value if forgotten, because I have conferred with Governor Ferris and he understands the needs of the state as 7 see them. My administration of affairs is my message to the people. Now permit me, in closing, to quote the eighth versp of the fourth chapter of the Epistle of Paul, the Apostle, to the Phillipians, upon which may pafely be builded the strong and permananistructure cf state and in which may be discovered a- safe_ rule of guidance for every action: "Finally," brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever assumed the premiership after the assassination of Premier Canalejas. The ministry includes some discordant elements, and King Alfonso requested the count to form a new government. • • * The London (England) taxlcab drivers began the new year with a strike which takes 5,000 out of 8,000 taxis oft the streets. *The strike is the result of the increa&ecL cost of gasoline, or petrol, as it is called there.— 0 0 0 ^ Personal Rear.

The Indrakula, With a Big Hple in Her Side, Headed for the Beach and Grounded in Time to Save Her Crew, After being rammed by the British steamer Indrakula off Tangier bar in the Chesapeake bay, the tramp steamship Julia Luckenbach was practically split in twain and foundered. Though within easy wireless reach of 10 steamers, 14 lives were lost after a desperate battle with the seas. Among the drowned are Captain H . A . Gilbert and Mrs. Gilbert. Captain Gilbert and Mrs. Gilbert lived at Raspeburg, near Baltimore. Nineteen of the crew, were lost Eight were saved by the steamer Pennsylvania, and six others were rescued by the Indrakula according to a wireless message received at Newport News from the revenue cutter Apache, which went to the Indrakula's assistance. First Officer Hunt, half crazed by his terrible fight for life, and by the remembrance of the tragedy through which he had passed, at first said that 22 persons had gone down with the ship, but subsequently it was learned that only 28 in all were on bqard the Luckenbach including the crippled wife of Captain Gilbert. The Luckenbach sank five minutes after the Indrakula, coming out of the fog, dealt her a death blow. Only those on the top deck had time to escape. First Officer Frederick Hunt and seven members of the crew climbed into the rigging and hung there for six hours in the terrible cold until the Danish liner Pennsylvania rescued them. The others, caught below decks, died without knowing what nau Happened. A Representative W7 illiam Wr. Wede meyer, of Ann Arbor, Mich., who suddenly went insane at Colon, Panama, at the time of President Taft's recent visit to the isthmus, jumped overboard from a ship on which he* had been taken at Colon. ' The ^essel was the Panama of the Panama"line. ,~<:* Tjhe news was received by the w*ar department by wireless. At the same time that news w a s received of Wedenaeyer's' death his colleagues, in the house received 'a cable from Panam,a that he was en roufce to Washington in charge of an attendant. He was reported as having suicidal mania., Wedecneyerfs close friends say that a few days before leaving for the isthmus he fell and struck his head on an icy sidewalk. It was not regarded as serious and did not deter him from going with the congressional party. The Indrakula, with a big hole in her side, backed away from the sinking ship and headed for the beach. She was grounded in time for all of her crew to be saved. The Luckenbach reached the capes late Thursday. She ran into the gale blowin'g but was able to make the passage into tiie Chesapeake bay. She was slowly working her way up the bay when the Indrakula, driven at a high rate of speed by the gale, bore down on the Luckenbach and the collision occurred. D Y N A M I T E R S T O Q O F R E E .

He and his little sister and brother scouted for help, but no one responded. While the ice was breaking away beneath Morley's grasp the other children took off their skates and ran to a store 6fr rods away, where they secured help. In the meantime Morley was fighting to keep the swift current from dragging him under the ice, which kept breaking as he clutched it. Just as the boy was about to be drawn under the ice Jatnes Howard slipped a pole under him and hauled him out. The boy° dropped from exhaustion and was carried to the store, where restoratives were administered. ^pro- March 15 for Extra Session. As the result of the conferences between President-elect Wilsdn and democratic leaders in congress during the holidays, these features of the democratic legislative program have been tentatively agreed upon: Congress will be called in extraordinary session March 15 to revise the tariff. A complete scheme of tariff revision will be laid before a caucus of the democratic members of the new house early next March by the democratic members of the ways and means committee. This will include an income tax if the constitutional amendment on this subject has been ratified by threefourths of the states, and an excise tax if it has not. It will also include the administrative features of the' new law embracing a substitute for the present maximum and minimum clause. Any changes in the internal revenue taxes made necessary by reductions in the customs tariff also wiH be laid before the caucus, The democratic caucus will decide whether the schedules will be reported and passed by the house separately or as one bill.

Agatha Redmond, opera singer, starting tor an auto drive in New York, finds a stranger sent as her chauffeur. She is annoyed, but he remains.

He goes to New York and there witnesses the abduction of Agatha Redmond. Hambleton sees Agatha f°r \l* bly taken aboard a yacht. He secures ia tug and when near the yacht drops overboard. Aleck Van Camp, friend of Hambleton, had an appointment with him. Not meeting Hambleton, he makes a call 'upon friends, Madame and Miss Melanle Reynier. With the latter, Van Camp is very much In love. C H A P T E R IV.—Continued. "I think my proposition a prior one, he remarked with dogged precision; "but, of course, Miss Reyuier must decide." He recovered his temper enough to add, quite pleasantly, considering the circumstances, "Unless Madame Reynier will take my part?" turning to the older woman. "Oh, no, not fair/* shouted Jones. "Madame Reynier's always on my side. Aren't you, Madame?" Madame Reynier smiled inscrutably. "I'm always on the side of virtue in distress," she said. "That's me, then, isn't it? The way you're abusing me, Madomoiselle, listening here to Van Camp all the eve- DingTw ' , But Melanie, tired, perhaps, of being patiently tactful, settled the matter. "I can't go to luncheon with anybody, tomorrow," she protested. ' T v e had a tough of that arch-enemy, indigestion, you see; and I can't do anything but my prescribed exercises, nor drink anything but distilled water—" "Nor eat anything but food! We know," cried the irrepressible Jones. "But the Little Gray Fox has a special diet for Just such cases as yours. Do come!" "Heavens! Then I donVwant to go thereJ" groaned Aleck. Melanie gave Jones her hand, half in thanks and half in farewell. "No, thank you, not tomorrow, but sometime soon; perhaps Thursday. W i l l that do?" she smiled. Then, as Jones was discontentedly lounging about the door, she aid a pretty thing. Turning from the door, she stood with-face averted from everybody except Van Camp, and for an instant her eyes met his in a friendly, half-humorous but wholly non-committal glance. His eyes held hers in a look that was like an embrace. "I will see you soon," she said quietly. Van Camp said good-night to Jones at the WrrierT^after they had walked together in silence for half a block. "Good-night, Van Camp," said Jones; then he added cordially; , c B y the way, I'm, going back next week in my private car to watch the opening of the Liza L u , and I'd be mighty glad if you'd go along. Anything else to do?" "Thanks—extremely; but I'm going on a cruise." As Aleck entered the piously exclusive hail of the club his good nature came to his aid. He wondered whether he hadn't scored something, after all. C H A P T E R V. Melanie's Dreams* Midnight and the relaxation of slumber could subtract nothing from the high-browed dignity of the club officials, and the message that was waiting for Mr. Van Camp was delivered In the most correct manner. "Mr, Hambleton sends word to Mr. Van Camp that he has gone away on the Jeanne D'Arc. Mr. Hambleton may not be back for some time, and requests Mr. Van Camp to look after the Sea Gull." "Very well, thajak you,*' replied Aleck, rather absent-mindedly. He was unable to see, immediately, just what change ip his own plans this sudden turn of Jim's would cause; and he was for the moment too deeply 'preoccupied with his own personal ^ITairg to speculate much about i t His thoughts went back to the events of the eve* nlng, recalled the picture of his Diana and her teasing ways, and dwelt especially upon the honest, friendly, wholly bewitching look that had flown to him at the end of the evening. Absurd; as his own attempt at a declaration had been, he somehow felt that he himself was not absurd in Melanie's eyes, though he was far from certain whether she was inclined to marry him'. * Aleck, on his part, had not come to hit. decision suddenly or impulsively; nor. skying arrived* there, was bo to ly desired Melanie Reynier for a wife, yet on the whole he was a very cool Romeo. He was manly, but,he was calculating; he was honorably disposed toward matrimony, hut he was not reborn with love. And so, in the sober bedroom of the club, he quickly fell into the good sleep induced by fatigue and healthy nerves. Morning, brought counsel and a disposition to renew operations. A note* was dispatched to his Diana by a private messenger, and the boy was bidden to wait for an answer. It came presently: ^ r "Come at twelve, if you wish. H " M E L A N I E R E Y N I E R . " Aleck smiled with satisfaction. Here was a wise venture going through happily, he hoped. He was pleased that she had named the very hour he had asked for the night before. That was like her good, frank way of meeting a situation, and it augured well for the unknown emergencies of their future life. He had little patience with timidity and traditional coyness in women, and great admiration for an -open and fearless spirit. Melanie's note almost set his heart thumping. But not quite; and no one understood the cool nature of that organ better than Melanie herself^^The ladies in the apartment at nH^Archangel had lingered at their breakfast, the austerity of which had been mitigated by a center decoration of orchids and fern, fresh-touched ' with dew; or so Madame Reynier had described them to Melanie, as she brought them to her with the card of Mr. Lloyd-Jones. Mlrs Reynier smiled faintly, admired the blossoms and turned away. The ladies usually spoke French with each other, though occasionally Madame Reynier dropped Into the harsher speech of her native country. On this morning she did this, telling Melanie, for the tenth time in as many days, that in her opinion they ought to be going home., Madame > considered this her dutytg and felt no realresponsibility after the statement was made. Nevertheless, she was glad to find Melanie disposed to discuss the matter a little further, "Do you wish to go home, Auntie, or is it that you think I ought to go?" "I don*t wish to go without you, child, you know that; and i am very comfortable here. But his Highness, your cousin, is very impatient; I see that in everyr letter from Krolvetz. You offended him deeply by putting off your marriage to * Count Lorenzo, and every day now deepens his indignation against you. I don't like to discuss these things, Melanie, but I suspect that your action deprives him of a very necessary revenue; and I understand, better than you do, to what lengths your cousin is capable of going when he is displeased. Tou are, tfy't&e law of your country, his ward until you marry. Would it not be better to submit to him in friendship, rather than to incur his enmity? After all, he is your next of kin, the head of your family, and a very powerful man. If we are going home at all%we ought to go now." "But suppose we should decide not to go home at all?" "You will have to go some time, dear child. Tou are all alone, except for me, and In the nature of things you can't have me always. Now that you are young, you think it an easy thing to break away from the ties of blood and birth; but believe me, it isn't easy. You, with your nature, could never do i t The call of the land is strong, and the time will come when you will long to go home, long to go back to the land where your father led his soldiers, and where your mother was admired and loved." Madame Reynier paused and watched her niece, who, with eyes cast down, was toying with with her spoon. Suddenly a crimson flush rose and spresdrover Melanie's cheeks and forehead *nd neck, and when she looked up into Madame Reynier's face, she was gazing through unshed tears. She rose quickly, came round.to the talr and hissed her "They aren't so much in Mr. Lloyd- Jones' style as these," replied Madame Reynier. She had a faculty of commenting pleasantly without the least hint of criticism. This remark delighted Melanie. "No; I should never picture Mr. Lloyd-Jones as a garden pink. Burthen, Auntie, you remember how eloquent he was about the hills and the stars. That speech did not at all indicate a,hothouse nature." "Nevertheless, I think his sentiments have bteen cultivated, like his orchids." "Not Ianie. There was an interval of silence, while the younger woman stood looking out of the window and Madame Reynier cut the leaves of a French journal. She did not read, however, and presently she broke the silence "I don't remember that Mr. Van Camp ever sent orchids to you." "Mr. Van Camp never gave me any kind of flower. He thinks flowers are the most intimate of all gifts, and should only be exchanged between sweethearts. At least, I heard him expound some such theory years ago, when we first knew him." Madame smiled—a significant smile, if any one had been looking. Nothing further was said until Melanie unexpectedly shot straight to the mark with: —"How do you, tatnk ho would do, "But I'm not going to say 'yes;' at least, I don't think I am. Do sit down." Aleck started straight for the gilt chair. lOh, no; not that! You are four times too. big for that chair. Besides, it's quite valuable; it's a Louis Quinze." Aleck indulged in a vicious kick at the ridiculous thing, picked up , an enormous leather-bottomed chair made apparently of lead, and placed it jauntily almost beside Miss Reynier's chair, but facing the other way. "This is much better, thank you," he said. "Now tell me why you think you are not going to say 'yes* to me." Melanie's mood of softness had not left her; but sitting there, face to face with this man, face to face with his seriousness, his masculine will and strength, she felt that she had something yet to struggle for, some deep personal right to be acknowledge. It was with a dignity, an aloofness, that was quite real, yet very sweet, that she met this American lover. He had her hand in his firm grasp, but he was waiting for her to speak. He was giving her the hearing that was, in his opinion, her right. "In the first place," Melanie began, "you ought to know more about rue— who j am, and all that sort of thing. I am, in one sense, not at all what I seem to be; and that, in the case of marriage, is a dangerous' thing." "It is an important thing, at least. But I do know who you are; I knew long ago. Since you never referred to the matter, of course I never did. You are the Princess Auguste Stephanie of Krolvetz, cousin of the present Duke Stephen, called King of Krola bad achievement," said Me^jfvetz. You are even in line for the throne, though there are two or three lives between. You have incurred (he displeasure of Duke Stephen and are practically an exile from your country." "A voluntary exile," Melanie corrected. "Voluntary only in the sense that you prefer exile to absolute submission to the duke. There is no alternative, if you return." Melanie was silent. Aleck lifted the hand which he held, touched it gently with his lips and laid it back beside its fellow on Melanie's lap. Then he rose and lifted both hands before her, half in fun and half, in earnestness, as if he were a courtier doing reverence to his queen. "See, your Highness, how ready 'I am to do you homage! Only smile on the triost dev^tt^ol_y^ujr_se^vants " Melanie could not resist his gentle gaiety. It was as if. they were two is cheek affectionately. "Dear Auntie, you are very good to me, and patient, too. It's all true, I suppose; but the prospect o f home and Count Lorenzo together—ah, well!" she smiled reassuringly and again caressed Madame Reynier's gaunt old face. "I'll think it all oyer, Auntie dear.**. Madame Reynier followed 'Melanie* into her sitting-room; bringing the precious orchids in her two hands, fearful lest the fragile vase should f a l l Melanle regarded them a moment, and then said she thought they would do better In the drawini-room. be-ta%e*^rr*m^ ^ sometime* think the H W e * ^ ^ was that he sincerely and affectionate* [pink quite as pretty as an orohM." Auntie, in place of Count Lorenzo?" Madame Reynier showed no surprise, "He is a sterling man; but your cousin would never consent to it." "And if I should not consult my cousin?" "My dear Melanie, that would entail many embarrassing consequences; and embarrassments are worse than crimes." Melanie could laugh at that, and did. "I've already answered a note from Mr. Van Camp this morning, Auntie, No, don't worry," she playfully answered a sudden anxious look that camo upon her aunt's countenance, "I've not said 'yes7 to him. But he's coming to see me at twelve. If I don't give him a chance to say what he has to say, he'll take one anywhere. He's capable of proposing on the street-cars. Besides, I have something also to say to him." "Well, my dear, you know best; certainly I think you know best," was Madame Reynier's last word. Mr. Van Camp arrived on the stroke of/twelve, an expression of happiness on his lean, quizzical face, "I'm supposed to be starting on a cruise," he told Melanie, "but luck is with me. My cousin hasn't turned up—or rather he turned up only to disappear Instantly.—otherwise he would have dragged me off to catch the first ebb-tide, with" me hanging back like an axichor-chain." "Is your cousin, then, such a tyrant?" "Oh, yes; he's a masterful man, Jimmy." "And how did he 'disappear instanU ly?' It sounds mysterious." i "It is mysterious, but Jim can take\ care of himself; at least, I hope he can. The message said he had sailed on the Jeanne D'Arc, whatever that Is, and that I was to look after our hired yacht, the Sea Gull." Melanie looked up, startled. "The Jeanne D'Arc, was it?" she cried. "Are you sure? But, of course—there must be many boats by that name, are there not? But did he say nothing more—where he was going, and why he changed his plans?" % "No, not a word more than that Why? Do you know of a boat named Ihe Jeanne D'Arc?" "Yes, very well; but it can not matter. It must be another vessel, surely. Meanwhile, what are you going to do without your companion?" ? Aleck rose from the slender' gilt chair where, as usual, he had perched himself, walked to ihe window and thrust his hands into his pockets for a contemplative moment, then he turned and came to a stand squarely before Melanie, looking down on her with his quizzical, honest eyes. "That depends, Melanie," he said slowly, "upon whether you are going to marry me or not" For a second or two Melanie's eyes refused to lift; but Aleck's firm-planted figure, his steady gaze, above all, his dominating will, forced her to look up. There he was, smiling, strong, bi$, kindly. Melanle started to smile, but for the second time* that morning her eyes unexpectedly filled with tears. "I can't talk to you towering over me like that," she said at last softly, her smile winning against the tears. Aleck did not move, •* d o n t w a n t yon to t a l k to'nie about i t ; all I want to for you to s a y ' y e a . ' w "Go away, Sophie," said Melanie "Serve luncheon lo Madame Reynier alone. I shall wait; and you'll have to wait, too, peer man!" She looked scrutinizingly at Aleck. "Or are you, perhaps, hungry? I'm not going to talk to a hungry man," she announced. "Not a bite till I've heard chapter thirty-nine!" said Aleck, In a moment she became serious again. "I have lived in England and here in America," she began, "long enough to understand that the differences between your people and mine are more than the differences of language and climate; they are ingrained in our. habits of thought, our education, our judgment of life and of people. My childhood and youth were wholly different from yours, or from what an American girl's could be; and yet I think I understand your American women, though I suppose I am not in the least like them "But I, on the other hand, have seen the dark side of life, and particularly of marriage. When I was a child 1 was more important in my own country than I am now, since it seemed then that my father would succeed to the throne. I was brought up to feel that I was not a woman, but a pawn in the game of politics. When I had been out of the convent for a year or more, I loved a youth, and was loved in return, , but our marriage was laughed at, put aside, declared impos sible, ^because he was qf a rank inferior to my own. My lover disappeared, I know not where or how Then affairs changed. My father died, and it transpired that I had been of ficiaHy betrothed since childhood to Duke Stephen's brother, the Count Lorenzo The duke was my guardian and there was no one else to whom I could appeal; but the very week set for the wedding I faced the duke and declared I would never marry tho count. His Highness raged and stormed, but I told him a few things 1 knew about his brother, and I made him see that I was in earnest. The next day I left Krolvetz, and the duke gave out that I was ill and had gone to a health resort; that the wedding was postponed. I went to France and hid myself with my aunt, took one of my own middle names and her surname, and have been known for some time, as you know, as Melanie Reynier." "I know you wish to tell me .all these things, Melanie, but I do noi want you to recalT painful matters of the past now," said Aleck gently "You shall tell me of them at another time." ThP color hriphlpnpd in Melanln's children playing at a story. Aleck, in such a mood as this, was as mu<jh fun as a dancing bear, and In five minuses more he had won peals of laughter from Melanie. It was what he wanted —to brighten her spirits. So present- -iy he cam& back to the big chairs though he did not again take her hand. "I knew you were titled and important, Melanie, and at first I thought that sealed my case entirely. But you seemed to forget your state, seemed not to care so very much about Jt; and perhaps that mado me think it was possible for us both to forgetjjt, or at least to ignore It I havenl a gold throne to give you; but you're the only woman I've ever wanted to marry, and I wasn't going to give up the chance until you said soA' "Do you know also that if I marry out of my rank and without th<l consent of Duke Stephen, I shall forfeit all my fortune?" | "'Cut off without a cent!'" Aleck laughed, but presently paused, embarrassed for the first time since he had begun his pica. "I, you know, haven't millions, but thore's a decent income, even tt>r two. And then I can always go to work and earn something," he smiled at her, "giving information to a thirsty world about the gill-slit, as you call it. It would be fun, earning money for you; I'd like to do i t " Melanie smiled back at him, bat left her chair and wandsred uneasily about the room, as if turning a difficult matter over in her mind. Aleck stood by, watching. Presently she returned to her cha1r>jmshed him gently back into his seat amhdropped down beside him.* Before she spoke, she touched her fingers lightly, almost lovingly, along the blue veins of his big hand lying on the arm of the chair. The hand turned, like a magnet spring, and imprisoned hers. "No, dear friend, not yet," said Melanie, drawing away her hand, yet not very quickly, after all. "There is much yet to say to you, and I have been wondering how to say it, but I shall do it now. Like the heroes in the novels," she smiled again. " I am going to tell you the story of my life." "Good!" said Aleck. " A l l ready for chapter one. But your maid wants you at the door." face, her eyes glowed. "No, not another time; you must understand- now, especially because all this preface l£ads me to what I really want to say to you. It is this: I do not now care for the man I loved at nineteen, nor formally of the other men of my country who have been pleased to- honor me-with their regard But ever since those early days I have had a dream of a home—a place different from Duke Stephen's home, different from the homes of many people of my rank. My dream has a husband in it who is a companion, a friend, my equal in love, .my superior in strength." Melanie's eyes lifted to meet Aleck's, and they were full of an almost tragic passion; but it was a passion for comprehension and love, not primarily for the man sitting before her. She added simply: "And for. ray dream I'd give all the wealth, all the love, I have." The room was very still. Aleck Van Camp sat quiet and grave, his fore*y head resting on his hand. "lie looked up, finally, at Melanie, who was beside him, pale and quite worn. 'Toor child! You needed me more than I thought!" was what he said. Rut Melani * had not quite finished ^No, that is noX-enough,-that I should need you. Ycu must also need me. want what I alone can give yod, match my love with yours. And this, 1 think, you do not do. You calculate, you remain "cool, you plan your life like a campaign, and I am part of your equipment You are a thousand times better than Count Lorenzo, but I think your principles of reasoning are the same. You do not love me enough, and that is why I can not say yes." Aleck had taken this last blow standing. He walked slowly arottnd and stood before Melanie, much as he had stood before her when he first asked her to marry him; and this time, as he looked down on her fairness, there was Infinite gentleness and patience and love in his eyes. He bent over, lifted Melanie's two hands, and drew her bodily out of her seat She was impassive. Her quick alertness, her vitality, her passionate seriousness, had slipped away. Aleck put his arms around her very tenderly and kissed her lips; not a lover's kiss exactly, and yet nothing else. Then he looked into her face. (TO B E CONTINUED.)

Perhaps it is the indisputable authority possessed hy the hand that wields the rules or the nonchallant display of wisdom on topics surrounded by the most inaccessible difficulties to the small boy and girl.

"When I grow up, I am going to be a teacher," she announced. "That so?" pleasantly- asked Miss Townsend. "And why do you want to be a teacher?" "Well," was the rather surprising answer, "I'll have to be either a teacher or a lady, and I would rather be a teacher."—Indianapolis News. Shopper's Cramp. .

He was literally henpecked off the throne by this "anvil chorus." Stranger adventures probably never i>efel a man, even in the realms of fiction, than have been the lot of this native of Newcastle, .England. While hunting in the jungle in British East Africa, he fell asleep and was captured by the "black men," who took him before their king. He fought that potentate and "licked" him; became the ruler in his stead, Jbecause'of' the attachment for him of a sacred monkey ,and entered into full T"oyal possession, including a dusky harem. And his sixteen wives, according to his own statempnt, "henpecked* him off the throne and out of the "kingdom.* Gilhesple's mates on the Royal Prince, an African coast tradiifg vessel on which the ex-king is second engineer, corroborate his story in many of its details.

I was born in Newcastle, England, and Ferved my apprenticeship at Hawthorn es. Nine years ago—I am now twenty-eight—I entered the service of the Prince line. At thp_Jiine^of my adventure I was, as I am now, the second engineer on the Royal Prince, trading from Mombasa to New York. 1 had ofton touched at East African "fioris, and for a long time had wante d to do some big game shooting, 1 want to say right, now, though, that *my desires along that line are fully satisfied. Never again will 1 desert the paths of civilization. I might be made king again. Vgh! ' Rut to continue with my story. At Mombasa I obtained the necessary leave, and with a guide set out. for the jungle. We soon came upon the trail of elands, and followed it for some hours. Eventually, when the trail became stronger, my guide suggested that we separate so that we could come on the game from two ^ides. We followed this plan, and hence my "kingly'—and henpeckedadventure. For an hour I followed the track of the game, and then found that I was lost. I shouted and fired my gun several times, in i h e hopes that the guide would hear me, but all to no purpose. 1 was lost, and so had to make the best of it. For a time I tried to retrace my steps, but only made matters *0orse, and evidently had wandered far into the jungle. When almost worn out by hunger and my long tramft I lay down for a little rest. Lands on King's Solar Plexus. I don't know how long I had b e ^ asleep, when I was"~awakened by rough shake of thje shoulder. I openedVmy eyes, and there before me, stood the most villainous bunch of natives it has ever befallen to my lot to see. They had already taken possession of my rifle and revolver, so that when they motioned for me to follow their leader there was nothing else to do. Resides, 1 was so nearly famished that I would have gone anyhow in the nope that they/would give me something to eat. The march led to their village, and there I was presented to the king, a big black "bullet head" individual who sat In an old arm chair, probably secured from some seaport town. Over this chair was thrown a lion's skin: •Ftott natives kowtowed to their monarch, and bade me do likewise. I wouldn't make an obeisance, and by eigne so declared. Then they tried to force "me to bow. Instead, they started about the* prettiest little row yon ever saw.

When he tried to close with me, however, I landed on his solar plexus and he went out for the count—and hen some. ^ Monkey to "Blame" for Throne. W h e n I had "knocked out" the Idng I expected that all Ms subjects would rush me and try to kill me; that they didn't I have only fate to thank. As the scowls gathered blackest on those dusky faces a little monkey that had been sitting on the arm of the chair— the throne, I mean—ran out to where I was standing and, jabbering as if it had met an old friend, climbed up to my shoulder, nestling contentedly against my cheek. That instant a great change came over the "populace." As one man the natives prostrated themselves before But at that monies* say chief thought was food, so I bade the medicine man, who understood a few words of English, to hurry through the initiatory ceremony and have my "chef" prepare me so/ne food haetanter. As I ravenously devoured the fruit and baked ground nuts that were brought to me, the old man in his sadly damaged English informed me how I came to be made king. It seems that the monkey, which had perched on my shoulder, was a sort of a personification of a god the natives worshiped, and which lived in the jungle. When the monkey ran out to me and climbed "up my sleeve, it was a sign, so the natives thought, that the god had chosen me for their ruler. Here I was king, and it looked to me as if I had best exercise the prepogatlves of my office until I had a chance to get back to civilization. Besides, I was a bit curious to^see just what kind of a king I would^make. So T decided to stay on the job, for a while anyhow. Haggling for Lions' Teeth On. That night I retired to my palace, a hut built of weeds and grasses My queens, whose apartments were in two huts separated from the palsce, did not bother me that night, but the next morning- when I started out for a stroll, all sixteen crowded around. The ringleader, or, I should;Vsay, my supposed favored wife—she was the fattest, and in African social' circles that is the mark of beauty in women acted as spokeswoman. I couldn't understand a word.she said, so called my friend the medicine man and he, with much,kowtowing, interpreted.3 Serinefineh-—that was my "favorite's" name; it means "peace." but I think Sen's father must have laughed in ghoulish glee at the practical joke he was playing on some poor, unfortunate man when he named her —Sennenneh called me the "light of the sun" and other pretty, names. I was suspicious all the time that she wasn't compMmeating me for nothing, and when she pointed to those lions' teeth that ercircUd her fat neck and the fifteen others followed suit, I knew I was in for irouble. There followed a lot of gibberish which was interpreted as meaning that my. sixteen wives expected mo to show j n v appreciation of their devotion by"providing more lions' teeth.

'Joe Tinker and Fielder Jones. — During the recent annual meeting of the American league, held in Chicago, two players of national fame met by chance and .held a "fanning bee." Tinker, who has signed as manager of the Cincinnati Reds, was for years the star shortstop of the champion Cubs, and Jones, who is now president of the pacific Northwest league, was manager and center fielder of the White Sox. R E D S T O G E T S T A R P I T C H E R American League Twirler Part of Price for Release of Chance— Has Three Good Ones. Joe Tinker, who has signed his contract as manager of the Cincinnati club, expects^to have one of the leading pitching~staffs in the Rational league. He now hrs three high class, men in Suggs, Benion and Fromme, and looks for a fourth from the Amer. ican league. Of course, I tried to stop thorn, but there are some things that even a king is powerless to do, and that was one of them. Finally, with my head swimming from the concentrated chatter of mv harem, I fled to my throne. There * rested in peace., but when the fear of fever in the night air flna_lly_drove me Lfore ihe_basehail season-begins. He There stood lainous bunch before me almost of natives. vilme, beating their heads on the ground and uttering weird cries that frightened me more than had the fight. After this had kept up for a few moments an old chap with a big staff, the head carved in the shape of a strange bird, came toward me and kowtowed. Then he pointed to me and next to the throne. Finally it began to dawn upon me that I had been chosen to succeed the'king I had just "deposed." As I walked toward the throne the natives chanted some sort of a song that made me regret I had a cultivated ear for music. I didn't wonder that it ^brought all the men, women and children who had missed the fight rushing to the scene, nor that under its influence the former king—I was really "It" now—returned to con sciousness. He gave one look at me as I sat perched oh- the throne, the monkey still clinging...to my shoulder, and then he looked in the direction of the "palace" door just back of the throne. He didn't wait for any parting words.- but with a shriek that threatened to endanger my ear drums fled to the forest. His departure was hastened by the tumultuous cheering his former subjects sent after him. Sixteen Black Wives in Doorway, After he had disappeared among the trees 1 looked curiously about me. As my glance reached the doorway of my "palace" the sight caused me to half rise. There, in a semi-circle in the doorway, sat sixteen women—the blackest I had ever seen. Their skirts of red flowered calico, cut short and on the bias, were about their only article of apparel, unless one would include under that name their anklets, bracelets and nose rings and earrings of brass. Then about the neck of each hung great, necklaces of lion's teeth. It was quite evident, I figured, judging from the number each woman wore, that lions' teeth were away above par in my new kingdom. As I looked at them—and they returned my glances with wifely grins —I began to think I had been mistaken in my premise that the old king had fled from fear of me. It looked as if he had seen a good chance to .'"'duck" from those sixteen* queens and had taken i t I almost envied him right then, and before my three weeks on the throne were up my envy waa unadulterated—It was greeneyed. back to the palace the whole harem yented its pent up spleen upon my poor heajtK Henpecked 6ff Throne. It was terrible, and so one night, after-1 had been tempted to murder about sixteen of them—meani-ng all—I slipped out the palace door" with my rifle in my "hand and silently fled through the forest—literally henpecked off my throne. I had gone but a few yards when I heard, a noise behind me and the sacred monkey came running down the path, As I picked it up a sound smote my ears that made my blood run cold. It was made by my sixteen wives in hot pursuit of their deserting husband. I took but one glance toward the clearing in front of the palace; directly toward me the sixteen' were headedr "Peace" in the lead. 1 waited for no more, but dived into. . the thick underbrush and ran for my p life. A l l night 1 stumbled through the jungle, with the monkey as my only guide. The monkey was again my salvation, and it led me to a path that I followed all the next day. is expected to be a prominent hurler Ordained king; of the tribe. About sunset, when I was famishing for lood and water, I came on tho camp of an English hunting party, and staid with it until we reached Mombasa. It's a strange story, hut it is true. And if Sophie—that la the sacred monkey's name now—could only speak, she would confirm every word of how I was made a king and then henpecked off my throne. I had royalty thrust upon me, and one trial was enough. Never again! " Pitcher Fromme. In the younger organization. Herrmann is enthusiastic over the deal, and believes the new twirler will aid Tinker immensely in keeping the Reds at the top of the first division in the National league race. "I felt confident all along that I would secure Tinker," said Herrmann, •and now that it is all over I believe I got the better of the deal. Three Df the five players we have released to the Cubs we couldn't use. We never had Corridon, we wouldn't have retained Knisely and Humphries isn't fast enough for major league company. Mitchell has been a faithful, hard working player in the Reds' employ, but we had to let him go to swing the deal.

The University of Illinois' senate issued a report of its. recommendations to the western iniexcoltegtete conference on the question of amateurism, which recommendation* are now being considered by the conference board. While the senate did not countenance plaving in. organized ball or as a regular thing, its stand is that occasional playing on organized fceams for money is not wrong. The University of Illinois recommends the amendment of rule 5 so that it shall read as follows: " A student shall be ineligible to represent his college or university i n any intercollegiate athletic contest under the following conditions: "(A)—If he is or has been a mem-, ber of any team playing under the national agreement of professional baseball clubs or has engaged in contest* with teams playing under this agree- * ment. "(B)—If he is or has been a member of any so-called outlaw team. l"(C)—If he has played on any team' regularly for a salary, so that playing has been his vocation or principal calling for the period of his association with said team. "(D)—If he has ever drawn a salary for nominal service in some alleged employment while his athletic work has been really his main service. "(E)—If he is or has at any time during his college course been a member of any athletic team of any athletic lub. "(F)—If he Is receiving or has at any time received compensation as coach, trainer or instructor in physical training. "(G)—If in term time he engages; in athletic contests as a representative of any athletic organization not connected with the college." The University of Illinois also proposes that in place of an eligibilitycommittee i n each university, which passes on eligibility of students in that university, there be created a single committee from the various universities to rule finally upon questions of eligibility, and in, doing s a to enforce the true spirit of amateurism without regard to trivial infractions.

The color of blood Is due chiefly to iron in the little blcod cells. When the iron is kept in these little blood cells, which are living and traveling around in the blood vessels, the color is red. Hit the skin hard enough to break some of the little blood vessels beneath the surface and the little red cells escape from ,the injured Mood vessels, wander about for awhile in the tissues and die. When they die the iron that made them red before then changes to black and blue coloring.

She smiled at him—rather a hard smile but wistful. "I was about" to say if I could buy the things I like— rather than the things I can afford," she said. "You mean those poodle-dog feathers that fly in the face of everybody?" Wingfield queried. She shook her head, saying, "No— praise be. Willow plumes don't tempt me in the least.

There is a successful department store in Chicago which has spent tens of thousands of dollars in cost j reductions. With that house the saving of one nail in a packing case of any standard bke is a big item. As to i^e merchandise put on sale, the prices are fixed and immutable, as are the profits, which have betua figured on average sales, from a paner of pins to the furnishings of a palatial home. But even this is not enough for its management "Do you know that the average of sales for every sales person in this sLore is fixed annually?" the manager once asked of the writer, turning to a memorandum book on. his desk "This year/' he said, "the average rales for every sales person in this house are $43.83. The average Will be greater than that next year, for the reason that the growth of the city in population will be fixed anew, With the city growing at an average fixed ratio, if the average sales in the house do not 4ncrease in proportion, we shall know just this, that we are falling behind our competitors!"'

Many successful business men have said that they have been aided beyond measure by the advice of their wives in business matters. Indeed, it is not uncommon for a man, who is rated in business circles as particularly shrewd, to say that he seldom undertakes an important project without consulting and depending largely upon his wife's opinion. Full recognition of the value of woman's opinion is to be given by the mayor of Flint, Mich., who favors appointment of a municipal commission of five women whose duty it would .be-'to study problems of civic concern and lend their assistance in direction of improved conditions, a sort of "municipal housekeeping commission." It is a harmless though novel proposition and should not occasion any alarm in official circles, since the women are to act only in an advisory capacity.

It is perfectly apparent that here is a situation which demands immediate action, and that this action should bring about the vigilant protection for all time, and in all parts opthe country, of all insectivorous birds. Man} of the most useful of these birds are already on the tobogganslide toward extermination, as the result of stupid state legislation, or the lax enforcement of such laws as have been enacted. To be explicit: There are seven states in which the Tobin is being legally killed by the tens of thousands annually as "game"! These states are Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Maryland. The black bird is legalized "game/-' and suffers the same fate in four states—Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Pennsylvania—and the District of Columbia besides. Doves are slaughtered by the wholesale in 26 states, much to the loss of the farmers, for this bird is a great eater of weed seeds. Cranes, which are a^lso very useful birds, are much hunted for food and for "sport" in Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota and Oklahoma. Of the sixty-odd species of Bhorebirds (i. e„ snipe, curlews, plover, sandpipers and the like), at least 30 feed on noxious insects; yet all of these birds are rapidly disappearing. According to Mr. W. L. McAtee of the taon north and south. The accompanying illustrations present portraits of a group of birds, most of which'the average person probably j tations. It males a charming neigh knows by sight, though I fear that only a small minority have a clear idea of their very great economic worth. The jacksnipe (or Wilson's snipe) is 1 one o* the shorebirds (referred to by Mr. McAtee j , which, as a family, are being rapidly exterminated. It destroys large numbers of worms and larvae, for which it probes with its long bill in the soft earth of corn and potato fields—thereby doing the farmer ar great service—as well as along the shores of ponds, lakes and streams. It also feeds on grasshoppers and other injurious insects. It should be carefully protected, especially during the breeding season. The kildeer plover is another valuable and beautiful shorebird which is being hunted to death. It frequents meadows aftd^pasture lands, as well as shores, and devours great quantities of mosquitoes, crane flies, grasshoppers, army worms, cut worms, caterpillars, cottou-boll weevils, cloverleaf weevils, rice weevils, marine worms, wire worms and crayfish. Doubtless everybody knows the robin, perhaps the most democratic of our birds, beloved In the northern "states - A1 fr- The Kildeer Plover.

One observer "records that 32 parent martins made 3,275 visits to their- young in one Jay, each visit meaning, probably, anywhere from one to half a dozen insects. The nighthawk (also called "bullbat") i ^ probably one of the most useful of birds. It feeds exclusively on insects,, and ranks next to the golden-winged woodpecker (flicker) as a feathered destroyer of ants, which it takes when they are in the winged stage. Potato beetles, cucumber beetles, leaf hoppers, bugs of various kinds and enormous quantities of gnats and mosquitoes are found in their stomachs. They are entirely harmless, for they never feed on fruit, grain, grass or vegetables. Yet they are being hunted for sport and are being exterminated. The loggerhead (or southern) shrike is a champion pest destroyer, a large percentage of its food being harmful rodents and destructive insects, the latter including grasshoppers, crickets and moths, which it frequently impales upon thorns or sharp twigs. It sometimes catches young birds (though this is more characteristic of the northern shrike, or butcher bird,) but its diet is chiefly insects and small rodents. It is, therefore, very valuable to the farmer. The golden-winged woodpecker (also called 'flicker," "highhole," etc.) is an industrious tree protector, and tbe most efficient of all feathered anteaters. It is also feeds freely upon beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, and other harmful insects, as well as on weed seds. Yet it is rapidly growing rare because it is much hunted for food. It should be protected everywhere and at all times. In view of the decrease already ac* complished in the general volume of bird life in America, in view of the enormous losses annually inflicted upon the people of this country by the ravages of insects, and in view of the j destruction of v i l d life which is now i furiously proceeding throughout America, the McLean bill, which is now before congress, to provide for the federal protection of all migratory birds, becomes the most important wTild life measure that ever came before that body. In view of the annual economic loss that will continue as long as a federal migratory bird bill fails to pass, it is impossible for anyone to put forth one good reason—unless it be oh purely technical grounds—against that measure. The Weeks bill, before the lower house of congress, is precisely like the McLean bill, and it matters not which one passes first.

The domestic arrangements of the sultan are entirely different from those of his subjects. Most Turks i have one wife; the sultan har no j^recognized sultana. Turks of high rank marry into their own class; the sultan forms unions with women of slave origin. The ordinary man may not look upon an unveiled woman except she be his relation or servant; the sultan has the right to talk with any woman in the land face to face. Turks of position model their households more or less on the European plan; the sultan's household is oriental. That does not mean that in the imperial palace you would find women sipping sherbet or smoking narghilehs or clad in baggy trousers. On tho contrary, you would And them smoking nothing more oriental than a cigarette, sitting on a European chair —and. yes, wearing corsets! But the code of morals is entirely different, says the New^Tork Sun. The Imperial harem is founded on. the old court system of the Byzantine emperors and has an etiquette and law of its own. The first fact one must grasp ia that the wives or favorites of the sultan have no importance at all. They are nobodies, The daughter of a Circassian peasant imay be honored by the sultan's favor and even'"bear him a child, but yet be distinguished by no other title than the commonplace "Kadin Effendl." Only the mother of the eldest eon receives the royal designation of "sultari." her whole title bein$J ''Khareki sultan." : Her dlcrnity only results from her befnrr the mother of a possible heir to throne: that' is. fn tho event *~ j^e no\brothers'.• for • .. ' • ^ >ho n<hf of prece* dence as the elder male descendants. And the royal favorite of the moment will have transitory importance on account of the influence which she may exercise over the sultan. Royal princesses are considered inferior to the mother of the sultan, who is the real queen of the little world of the harem, has absolute authority, a large staff of officials and the supreme title of "Valide sultan." Thus it happens that a woman of slave birth may, if she be the mother of an heir to the throne, eventually become the highest woman of the land. Every royal princess has her daira, or separate apartments; slaves, servants and so on, the management of the household being given over to her kalfas, or ladies in waiting—that is to say, Turkish women of good birth who have remained unmarried. Royal princesses rarely take a husband of their own rank. They are generally married by the sultan to the sons of men of wealth and position, such as pashas, officers cf state, high civil officials and the like, a policy which is founded on a very practical reason, namely, that the arrangement makes the existence of a heriditary aristocracy impossible. One of the paradoxes in Turkey is that the poorer a Turkish woman 19 the greater her freedom. The rich woman canont move a step unaccompanied. She sees Constantinople only frdm the windows of her closed brougham or through a veil thick enough to act as a mask. She may dress as exquisitetly as a mannequin in a Paris dressmaker's showroom, but she must not display so much as an inch of embroidery in public. When her husband wants to take a second wife, or grows tired of her and wishes ta divorce her. he has both the opportunity and the means if he is a rich man^ It is not chic ,among Turks of any education to take a second wife; but divorce is. re- V The Loggerhead Shrike.

The woman of the poorest classes can go out alone. Custom does' not oblige her to wear her veil down. Should her husband, in a fit of anger, wish to divorce her, he must first of all produce the Nekyah, the dowry, In ready money, not an easy matter for a poor man. The. real danger to domestic happiness in the great mass of Turkish homes is the growing tendency of divorce, and a divorce wholly favorable to the man as against the woman. The payment of the modest nekyah arranged at the time of his marriage is a simple affair, and it is seldom enough to keep the divorced wife for the rest of her days. She is forced to take refuge with her parents or to find shelter with some.of her friends. Day on Which Women Rule.

She writes: "I think I have used almost every breakfast food manufactured, but none equal Grape-Nuts in my estimation. "I was greatly bothered with weak stdmach and indigestion, with formation of gas after eating, and tried many remedies for it but did not find relief. "Then I decided I must diet and see if I could overcome the difficulty that way. My choice of food was Grape- Nuts because the doctor told me I could not digest starchy food. "Grape-Nuts food has been^a great benefit to me for I feel like a different person since I begun to eat i t It is wonderful to me how strong my nerves have become.

It is said that Austria-Hungary, instead of demobilizing her troops, is calling to the colors more reservists.

Some profess to believe that Roumania, in her demand for Bulgarian territory, wa* h^ing egged on by Turkish secret diplomacy, the porte thus hoping to escape with smaller sacrifices of territory under qpver of the new war cloud. Powers May Get Fortress. The capsulation of Adrianople will in the opintap of the Ealkan plenipotentiaries, take place within a fewclays, either directly to the besieging forces or through European pressure. Pending some fresli development, the Balkan delegates are keeping in closest touch with the ambassadors, because they are aware that some of the questions they have most at heart depend almoat entirely on the will of the powers. Meanwhile the ambassadorial conference is doi-ng little, hoping that the Adrianople difficulty'will solve itself in some manner, and thus make interference by the powers unnecessary. The action of the ambassadors is hampered by the previous agreement that they must be unanimous in any decision* requiring active interference, Should the fall of Adrianople still be delayed, now that the conference i3 suspended, it might become imperative for Europe to intervene; otherwise Europe would lose the prestige entitling her to dictate her will in smaller matters, such as bringing into being an autonomous Albania and partitioning the Aegean islands. One suggestion is that, failing a better solution, Adrianople might be ceded to the powers, who could transfer it to the allies after permitting the Turkish garrison to leave with the honors of war, and guaranteeing other conditions, as the reservation of religious and property rights to the Turks and the establishment of special courts for the trials of civil disputes arising between Musselmans. Take Constantinople. Some of the delegates front the allied states1 are of the opinion jliat now that they have paved the way for the expulsion of Turkey from Europe the powers ought to complete the work by removing Islam from Constantinople and transforming the Turkish capital into an autonomous city under European control, and that they should adopt means to give a really civilized government* to Asia Minor.

The machinery, the money and* themen for carrying on the big works i n Western Canada in 1913 are already provided for. The splendid harvest which was successfully garnered, and by this time, mostly marketed, responded to the-big hopes that were had for it early in the season, and inspired capitalists and railroads to further investment and building. From lake ports to mountain base there will be carried on the biggest operations in city building ^and "rails way construction that has ever taken place ixi that country. The Canadian Pacific railway has everything in waiting to continue their great work of double tracking the system and by the time the Panama Canal is open to traffic there will be a double line of steel from Lake Superior to the Pacific coast. The cost will exceed thirty million dollars. The Grand Trunk Pacific plan of building a firstclass trunk line and then feeders a t various points will be carriea forward with all the force that great cojnpany can put into the work. The Canadian Northern is prepared to put into motion all the energy that young giant of finance and railroad buildihg can put into various enterprises of providing ancl creating transportation facilities. Building operations in the several cities, that have already marked themselves a place in the list of successful and growing cities, will be carried on more largely than ever; Schools, public buildings, parliament buildings, colleges, business blocks, apartments, private residences, banks, street *nd other municipal improveincuts have thSir appropriation ready, and the record of 1913 will be some* thing wonderful. Other places which are towns today will make the rapid strides that are expected and will become cities. There will be other. Edmontons, Calgarys, Reginas and Saskatoons, other places that may i n their, activity help to convince the outer world of the solidity and permanency of the Canadian West. The country is large and^wide and broad and the ends of its great width and length are but the limits of its agricultural area. - Its people are progressive, they are strong, there is no enervation there. . The country teems with this life, this ambition, this fondness to create and to use the forces that await the settler. If they come from the South, and hundreds ci' thousands of them have, they are now the dominant men of the North, and they have imbibed of the spirit of the North. Therefore it is fair to say that no portion of tho ^continent will show such wonderful results as Western Canada, and the year 1913 will be but the. beginning of a wonderful and great future: And in this future the 200,000 Americans who made it their home, and those who preceded them, will be a considerable portion of the machinery that will be used in bringing about the results predicted. The development of 1913 will not be confined to the prairie provinces. Railway building and city building in British Columbia will be supplemented by the farm, the ranch antf the orchard building of that province, Vancouver will make great strides i n building, and Victoria, the staid old' lady of so many years, has already shown signs of modern ways, and if the progress made in 1912 may be accepted as anythfng like what it will be in 1913, there will be wonderful-- developments there.

Leaving the car. she goes into the park to read the will of an old friend of her mother, who has left her property. There sne is accosted by &• stranger, who follows her to the auto, climbs in and chloroforms her. James Hambleton of Lynn, Mass.. witnesses tfcb abduction of Agatha Redmond. Hambleton sees Agatha forcibly taken aboard a yacht. He secures a lug and when near the yacht drops overboard, Aleck Van Camp, friend of Hambleton. had an appointment with him. Not meeting Hambleton, he makes a call upon friends. Madame and Miss Melanie Reynier. Me proposes to the latter and Is refused. Melanle explains that she io or high birth in a German principality, from which she had fled to escape an unwished marriage fo'cas'le soon worked havoc with his physique, so that appetite, and even desire of life itself, temporarily disappeared in the gloom of seasickness. In spite of difficulties, Jim tried to find out something about the boat. The seamen -were none too friendly; but by patching up his almost forgotten French and by signs, he learned something. His sudden failure of strength in the water had been due to a blow from a floating spar, as a bruise on his forehead testified; "the old man," whom Jim supposed to be the captain, was a hard master; Monsieur Chatelai*d was owner, or at least temporary proprietor, of the yacht; and the present voyage was an unlucky one by all the signs and omens known to the seamen's horoscope. The sullenness of the men was apparent, and was not caused by the enforced presence of a stranger \among them. In fact, their bad temper became so conspicuous that Jim began to believe that it might have something to do with the mysterious ac- ^ % tions of the man on shore. He ponhis practical sense ,coming%to the sur- dered the situation deeply; he evolved face. "Heavens!

He rang the bell, begged "the maid to fetch. bre,ad and butter and tea and to ask Madame, Reynier to come to the drawing-room. When she appeared, he met her °with a grave, but in no wise a cowed, spirit. "Madame Reynier, your niece refused, for tho present, to consider herself engaged to me; I, however, am unequivocally betrothed to her. And I shall be endlessly grateful If you and Miss Reynier will be my guests on the Sea Gull for as lo^g a time as you find it diverting. We\ shall cruise along the coast and put into harbor at night> if it seems best: and I'll try to mak/ you comfortable. Will you Madame Reynier was willing if Me- -lanie was; and Melanie had no strength, if she had the will, to combat Aleck's masterful ways. It was soorr^eftled. Aleck swung off down the street, re-reading Jim^s letter, intent only on the Sea dull and the preparations for his guests. But at the back of his mind he was thinking, "Poor girl! She needs me more than I thought!" C H A P T E R Vr. v On Board the Jeanne D'Arc. If hard usage and obstacles could cure a knight-errant of his sentiment, then Jimmy Hambleton had been free of his passion for the Pace. Hi3 plunge overboard; had been followed by a joyous swim1, a lusty call to the yacht for "Help," and a growing amazement when he realised that it was the yacht's intention to pass him by. He had swum valiantly, determined to get picked up by that particular craft, when suddenly his strength failed. He remembered thinking that it was all up with him, and then he lost consciousness. When he awoke he was on a hard bunk in a dim place, and a sailor was jerking him about. His throat burned with a fiery liquid. Then he felt the plunging and rising 6f the boat, and came to life sufficiently to utter the stereotyped words, "Where am I?" In Jim's case the question did not imply the confused groping back to sense that it usually indicates, but rather an actual desire to know whether or not he was on board the Jeanne D'Arc. Plainly his wits had not been badly shattered by his experience overboard. But the sailor who was attending him with such ministrations as he understood, answered him with a sample of French which. Jim had never met with in his schoolbooks, and he was not enlightened for some hours. It was indeed the Jeanne D'Arc, as Jim proved for himself the next day, and he was lying In the seamen's quarters in the fo'cas'le. By morning he felt much better, hungry, and prepared in his mind for striking a bargain with one of the sailors for clothes. He could make out their lingo" soon,~he guessed, Ian d th en he would get a suit of clothes and fare on deck. Suddenly he grasped his waist, struck with an unpleasant thought; his money-belt was gone* He was wearing a sailor's blue flannel shirt and nothing else. He turned over on his hard bunk, thinking that he would have to wait a while before makfng his entrance on the public *$tage of the Jeanne^ D'Arc. / y And wait fiedid.Jfot a rag of clothing was in sight, and no cajolery oi* promise of reward could persuade the ship's men into supplying, his need. He received consignments\j>f food; short rations they would be, he judged, for an able-bodied seaman. But inactivity and confinement to tho them one by one. He grimly reflected that a man without clothes can scarcely be a hero, whatever his spirit. Not since the clays of Olympus was there any record of man or god being received into any, society whatever without hi3 sartorial shell, thought Jimmy. But in spite of his discomfort, ho was glad he was there. Tho intuition that had led him since that memorable Sunday afternoon was strong within him still, and he never questioned its authority. He believed bis turn would ^ome, even though he were a prisoner^ in the fo'cas'le of the Jeanne D'Arc. As the violence of his sickness passed, Jim began to cast about for some means of helping himself. Gradually he was able to dive into the forgotten shallows of his French learning. By much wrinkling of brows he evolved a sentence, though he had to wait some hours before there was a favorable chance to put it to use. At last his time earner with the arrival of his former frienjl, the sailor. "Oo avay-voo cashay mon moneybelt?" he inquired with much confix dence, and with pure Yankee accent The sailor answered with a shrug and a spreading of empty hands. "Pas de money-belt, pas de pantalon, pas de tous! Dam queer Amayricain!" Jim was not convinced of the sailor's innocence, but perceived that he must give him the benefit of the doubt. As the sailor intimated, Jim, himself, was open to suspicion, and couldn't afford to be too jealous in calumniating others. He fell to thinking again, and attacked the next Frenchman that came into the fo'- cas'le with the following: "Kond j'aytay malade don ma tate, kee a pree mon money-belt?" ts~ It was the ship's cook this time, ;and he turned and stared at J i m m y 1 as though he had seen a ghost. When he found tongue he uttered a volume of opinion and abuse which Jimmy knew by instinct was not fit to be translated, and then he fled up the ladder. On the fourth day, toward evening, James had a visitor. All day the yacht had been pitching and rolling, and by afternoon she was laboring in the violence of a storm and was listing badly. James was a fearless seaman, but it crossed his mind more thaa once that if he were captain, and if there" were a port within reach, ho would put into it before midnight. But he could tell nothing of the ship's course. He turned the subject over in his mind as he lay on his bunk In that peculiar state half-way between sickness and health, when the body is relaxed by a purely accidental illness and the mind is abnormally alert. He wished intensely for a bath, a shave, and a fair complement of clothes.* He longed also to go l i p the hatchway for a breath of afr, and was considering the possibility of doing this later, with a blanket ^nd darkness for a shield^when-he-he^ came conscious of a pair of neatly trpusered legs descending thd ladder. It was quite a different performance from the catlike climbing up and down of the sailors. Jimmy watched in the dim light un? til the whole figure was complete, fantastically supplying, in his imagination, the coat, the shirt, tho collar and the tie to go with the trousers— all the things which he himself lacked. Was there also a hat? Jimmy couldn't make out, and so he asKed: "Have you got on a hat?" A frigid voice answered, "I beg your pardon!" "I said, are you wearing a hat? I couldn't flee, you know." "Monsieur takes the liberty of being impertinent." "Oh, excuse me—I beg your pardon. But it's so beastly hot and dark in here, you know, an'd I've never been seasick before." "No? Monsieur is fortunate." The visitor advanced a little, drew from a recess a shoe-blacking outfit, pulled over it one of the stiff blankets from a neighboring bunk, and - sat down rather cautiously. Little by little James made out more of the look of the man. He was large and rather blond, well dressed, clean-shaven. He spoke English easily, but with a foreign accent. "I wish to Inquire to what unfortunate circumstances we are indebted for your company on the Jeanne D'Arc." The voice was cool and sharp as a meat-ax. "Why, to your own kind-heartedness. I was a derelict and you took me in—saved my life, in fact; for which I am profoundly grateful And I hope my presence here As not too great-a burden?" ^ ^ "I am obliged to say that your presence here is most unwelcome, ^loreover, I am aware that your previous actions are open to suspicion, to express it mildly. You' threw yourself off the tug; and as thi^is "not a pleasure yacht, but the vesseNpf a high official speeding on a mos^t .important business matter, I said to the captain, 'Let him swim! Or, if he wishes to die, why should we thwart him?' But the captain referred to the 'etiquette of the line/ as he calls it, and picked you up. So you have not me to thank for not being among the fishes this minute." Jimmy pulled his blanket about and sat up on his bunk. The sarcastic voice stirred his bile, and suddenly there boomed in his memory a woman's call for help. The hooded motorcar, the muffled cry of terror, the inert figure being lifted over the side of the yacht—these things crowded on hisv brain and fired him to a sudden, unreasoning fury. He leaned over, looking sharply into the other's face. "You damned scoundrel!" he said, choking with his anger. -• The blood surged into his face and eyes; he was, for an instant, a primitive savage. -He could have laid violent hands on the other man and done Trim to'death, in the fashion of tbe half-gods who lived in the twilight of history. The visitor in the fo'cas'le exhibited a neat row of teeth and no resentment whatever at Jim's remark. But a §harp glitter shot from his eyes as he replied suavely: "Monsieur has doubtless mistaken this ship, and probably its master also, for some other less worthy adventurer on the sea. For that very reason I have come to set you right. It may be that I have my quixotic moments. At any rate, I have a fancy to ''give you a gentleman's chance. Monsieur, I regret the necessity of being inhospitable, but I am forced to say that you must quit the shelter of this yacht within twenty-four hours " The thin, sarcastic voice apd cleancut syllables fanned the flame of Jimmy's rage. He felt impotent, moreover, which never serves as a poultice to anger. But he got himself in hand, though imitation courtesy was not much in his line. He tuned his big hearty voice to a pitch with the Frenchman's nasal pipe, and clipped off his words in mimicry. "And to whom, pray, shall I have the honor to say farewell, at the auspicious moment when I Jump overboard r "Gently, you American, gently!" said the other. "My friends, and some of my enemies, know me as Mon sleur Chatelard." As ho paused for an impressive instant, Jim, grabbing his blanket, stood up in decision and executed an elaborate bow in as for eign a manner as he could command Monsieur Chatelard politely waved him down and continued: "But pray* do not trouble to give me your card! I had rather say adieu to Monsieur the tJnknown, whose daring and temper I so much admire. But I -certainly -misunderstood -your- vtofetttremark a moment ago, did I not? You can not possibly have any ground of quarrel with me." "I thought you stole my moneybelt." Monsieur smiled and waved a deprecatory hand. "You have already dismissed that idea, I am certain. A money-belt, between gentlemen! Moreover, you should thank me for so much as recognizing the gentleman in you, since you are without the customary trappings of our class." "Oh, I don't know," said Jim. But Monsieur Chatelard was now imperturbable. He continued blandly: "Since you are fond of sea-baths, you wlH no doubt enjoy a plunge—tonight possibly. As we have made rather slow progress, we are- really not'so, far from Hhpre. Yes, on second ikgj^iit, I would by all .means advise you to take your departure tonight. Swim back to shore the way you came. In any case, your absence is desired There will be no room or provision or water for you on board the Jeanne D'Arc after tonight. Is my meaning clear?" Jim was watching, as well as he could, the immobile, expressionless face, and did not immediately, note that Monsieur Chatelard had drawn a small, shiny object from his hip pocket and was holding it carelessly in his lap. As his gaze focussed on the revolver, however, he did the one thing, perhaps, which at that moment could have put the Frenchman off his guard. He threw his head back and l&ughed aloud. But before his laugh had time to echo in the narrow fo'cas'le, Jim leaped from his bunk upon his tormentor, like a cat upon a mouse, seized his right hand in a paralyzing grip, and was himself thrown violently to the floor. The struggle was brief, for the Frenchman was no match for Jim in strength and scarcely superior to him in skill; but it took one of Jim's wrestling feints to get the better of his opponent. He came out, in five seconds, with the pistol in his hand. Monsieur Chatelard, a bit breathless, but not greatly discomposed, peered out at him from the edge of the opposite bunk, where, he sat uncomfortably. His cynical voice capped the struggle like a streak of pitch. \ "Pray keep the weapon. You are welcome, though your methods are somewhat surprising. Had I known them earlier, I might have offered you my little toy." "Oh, don't, mention it," said Jimmy. "I thought you might not be used to firearms, that's all." 1 The varnished surface of Monsieur Chatelard's countenance gave no evidence of his having heard Jim's remark. "Don't fancy that your abrupt movements have deprived me of wh'at authority I may happen to i.->ssc-ss on this vessel. My request as to your future action still stands, unless you had rather one of my faithful men should assist you in carrying*1 out my .purpose." Hambleton stood with legs wide apart to ketfp> his balance, regarding the weapon in his' hand, from which his gazo traveled to the man on tho bunk. When it came to dialogue, ho was no match for this sarcastic purveyor of words. He wondered whether Monsieur Chatelard was actually as cool as he appeared. As he stood there^the Jeanne D'Arc pitched forward until it seemed that she could never right herself, then slowly and laboriously she rode tho waves again. "You are a more picturesque villain than I thought," remarked " James. "You have all the tricks of the sta-go hero—secret passages, fancy weapons, and—crowning glory—a fatal gift of gab!" Monsieur Chatelard arose, making his way toward the hatch. mbnd. Otherwise, be pleased to play Mercury to your Venus." To' Jim's ears, every syllable the Frenchman spoke was an insult, and words rekindled the lire in his blood. "You shall pay for that speech here and now!" he yelled; and,"discarding his revolver, he dealt the Frenchman a short-arm blow. Chatelard, trying to dodge, tripped over the base of the ladder and went down heavily on the floor of the fo'cas'le. He had apparently lo3t consciousness As Jim saw his victim stretched on the floor, he turned away with loathing. He picked up his revolver and went up the ladder. It was already dark, and confusion reigned on deck. But through the clamor, Jim made out something near the truth; the Jeanne D'Arc was leaking badly, and no time was to be lost if she, with her passengers and crew, were to be.,saved. C H A P T E R VII. The Rope Ladder. The near prospect of a conclusive struggle ,for life is a sharp tonic to the adventurous soul. Tho actual final summons to that other room is met variously. There is earthly dignity, who answers even this last tap at the door with a fitting and quotable rejoinder; there is deathbed repentance, whose unction in moniento mortis is doubtless a comfort to pious relatives; and there are chivalry and lor, twin youths who go to the unknown., banquet singing ami bearing their garlands of joy. But with the chance of a fight for life, there is a slfarp-sweet tang that sends some spirits galloping to the contest "Dauntless the slughorn to his lips be set—" making ready for the last good run. When Jim descended the hatchway after reconnoiteriag on deck, Chatelard was gone. The ship's cook was rummaging in a sailor's kit that he had drawn from a locker Jim mentally considered the situation. The seamen had no doubt exaggerated the calamity, but without, question there was serious trouble. Were tho pumps working? How far were they from shore? If- hopelessly distant, from shore, were they in the course of passing steamers? Would any one look after Miss Redmond's safety? .Monsieur Chatelard had said that she was no.t on board, but. James did not believe it. While these thoughts flew through his mind, Jamea had been absently watching while the cook turned his treasures out upon his bunk, and pawed them over with trembling hands. There were innumerable little things besides a stiiT white shirt, a cheap* shiny Bible, a suilled parrot And compliment in such a happy choice oV English," he scoffed, "but I can truth* fully say that I 'have rarely seen so striking and unique a figure, as I now behold; certainly never on the stage, to which you so politely refer." But James waa too deeply intent on his next move to 'be embarrassed by his lack of clothes. Not in vain had his gorge risen almost at first sight of this man. lie stepped quickly in front of Monsieur Chatelard, blocking his exit up the ladder, while the revolver in his hand looked straight between the Frenchman's eyes.* VVhateve • Chatelard's crimes were, he was not a coward He did not flinch, but his oyos gleamed like cold steel as Jim cornered him "Nov/," said Jim, "I have my turn." Wrath burned in his heart. "Captain Paquin. Antoine, Antoine!" called Chatelard No one answered the call of the master of the ship, but even as the two men measured their force one against the other, they were arrested by a commotion above Voices were heard shouting/ trampling feet were running back and forth over the deck, and a moment later the ship's cook came tumbling down the hatchway, screaming in terror He glared unheeding at the two men, and his teeth chattered. Fear had possession of him. Jim lifted his revolver well out of reach, and backed off from Cnatelard. For the first time during the interview between the American and the Frenchman, the two now faced each other as man to man, with the mask of their suspicious, their vanities and their hate cast aside "What is the matter? What is this fool saying?" Jim asked in loathing. At last Monsieur Chatelard looked at Jim with eyes of fear His face became so pale and drawn that it resembled a sponge from which tbe last drop of water had been pressed "He says the yacht is half full of water—that she is sinking," the Frenchman said ---^inking!'* echoed Jim, bearing down agalnrwith --towered Tevo!ver,~ott~ hi3 enemy. "Well and good! You're going to be drowned, not shot, after all! And now you Shall speak, you scamp! Your game's up. whatever happens Get up and lead the way quick, and show mo in what part of this infernal boat you are hidirtg Agatha Redmond " Chatelard started toward- the hatchway, followed sharply by Jim's revol ver, but at the foot of the ladder ho turned his contemptuous, sneering face toward /Tim, with the remark: "Your words are the words of a fool, you pig of an American* There Is no lady aboard this yacht, and I never so much as heard of your Agatha Redand several wads of clothes among the mess Jim caught sight of a piece way At the top ho threw himself) down, like a baseball runner making ! his base,-after the seaman's legs; but instead of a foot, he found himself j clutching one of the weeds of : clothes that trailed alter the cook's j bundle. He caught it firmly and kept' it, but the ship's cook and the rest of , his booty disappeared like a rabbit in- '< to its burrow t Jim sat down at tho top 6f tho lad- ' dtir and examined his haul It was a pair of woolen -trouserS^nd they wero of generous size. He spread them out on the deck Round him were unmistakable signs of demoralization The second officer was ordering the men to the pumps in stern tones; the yacht was pitching wildly and growing darkness was settling on the face of tho turbulent waters. But in spite of it all, Jimmy's spirit leaped forth in ; laughter as he thought of his brief, , frantic chase, and its results in this capture of the characteristic vestiture j of man I "What's money for. anyway!" he laughed, as he got up and clothed himself once more (TO BE CONTINUED.) Proper Gymnastic Work. Every person who has received gymnasium training is aware of tho fact that an exerciae which calls for painful, effort on the part of tbe beginner is often performed afmost without any conscious effort at all after .a certain amount of training has been received. Again, Jt is perfectly well known that brute strength alone does not make a gymnast, and that even a simple exercise may offer great difficulty to a muscular and well developed individual who has not been trained in the gymnasium The explanation j for this is made plain in an article by i Professor du Bois lleymond in Die Umschau, who points ouf that one of j the essential functions of -gymnasium j work is not so much to build up rnua-' cle as to train nerves and nerve groups to work in proper unison and co-ordination.

Believed t o H a v e Been Built by Chinese in M e x i c o . WILL THEY GET MONTICELLO FROM HIM? \ T M U S T be admitted that there is a skillfully promoted and amply financed "movement*' for curbing the ambition of the children of the poor. There is certainly no "movement" to vooationalize the children of ihe rich and niltured, and there is no public demand for speciallyjrocationalizinjr the public schools for any class. Everything i n 1 that direction is artificial. Ab enterprising American city of .'100,000 population has an elegant fourfold trade school for boys of fourteen and upwards, on which it is spending by slate law about one-seventh as much as upon the education of the other tens of thousands of children, paying the expert trade school superintendent and providing him with specialized heads of tbe trades. The school superintendent, the school board, all the papers of the city, the employers and the labor unions are in sympathy with tbe experiment. It has had several years of enthusiastic promotion, but up to date they have i ^ e ^ ^ ' o u n d mie Injured boys for all of these school-shops in any yeaj^sipjgjbjett^ have to be told after a time that they can never W a r n the trade ^elected, and another fourth get tired of it early and drop out. There'is slight prospect that they will ever graduate, as worthy and well qualified, fifty boys a year in all"the shops for plumbing, •carpentering, iron working and pattern making. The "movement" is interesting, but the demand is not a tidal, wave. In a great industrial state a memorial trade school was established and attendance was promoted to the l i m i t It brought forth as applicants one lad who was willing to learn the bricklayer's trade, three consented 10 learn carpentering and some others would like to be electrical engineers. A man of vast wealth, believing that the "movement" was a demand, left a fortune for a marvelously complete technical institution, where they not only provide free tuition and free material but free board and clothes for four years, so that a young man can have a good trade wholly without expense, and the absence of any tremendous enthusiasm for learning the ordinary trades ia interesting. Some years ago (lie "movement" was brilliantly (?) launched in Massachusetts by the appointment of an industrial education commission, 11 pon which the state was seduced to expend about $100,000, and it promised to pay one-half of the entire expense of any sort of trade school or shadow thereof, by day or by night, and after an elaborate three years' campaign of speech making and banqueting prominent citizens and expensive lobbying in many cities and towns they did not succeed in starting anything anywhere with the suspicion of a trade idea in it. '\Reai causes?" Well, the time has not come to tell all that is known of the "real causes/' Thev may\fool all the people a little while, they can fool some people a long time, but I refuse to believe that they Mnll fool all the people all the time. 1 am suspicious of the devotion to the children of the poor of any man, or of any interest that has been willing to sacrifice the children of the poor to the greed of mill and factory and has never had a voice to raise against the crime of child labor. Three Town* Were Erected on the Same Site by Three Civilizations Prior to the A*tcc«~-Mongolian Image It Discovered. Fchool nre in causes' people. City of Mexico.—A sensation has been created in British scientific circles by advices received from Sir Martin Conway, Prof. William Niven and Senor Ramon Mena of the discovery of absolute Mongolian remains only a couple of hours' walk from the City of Mexico, thereby confirming the hypothesis that has long been held that the most ancient civilization of Mexico and Peru preceding that of the ToltecS and the Aztecs was of Mongolian origin, says a correspondent. Close to and partly beneath the ruins of the ancient city of Tootihuacan. about nineteen miles northeast of the City of Mexico, the scientists uncovered the still more ancient city of Otumba, which flourished with a wondrous civilization centuries before the Aztecs or Toitecs rose to power, possibly «Ven before Babylon and Nineveh jnvayed the destinies of western Asia. With the financial assistance of the Mexican government the expedition began the removal of a six-foot layer of earth, representing the dust and detritus of more than twenty centuries. This soon brought into view many evidences of a vast and populous city of a very high order of civilization. Chief %mong theBe was a great pyramid. It is 700 feet square at the base and its apex is 1S7 feet high, while many of the giant blocks of stone in its massive walls must have required extraordinary engineering skill to handle. This pyramid also has its riddle, for the axis of the main gallery is coincidental with the magnetic meridian. The workmanship is of a high order, the figures being boldly vdrawn and carefully colored. Then came the greatest discovery of all. While excavating near the base of the great pyramid Professor Niven unearthed the remains of yet a third civilization beneath the ruins of ancient Otumba, making three great cities of lost and forgotten races, built one above the other. In what appears to have been n tomb of the lowest city, whose age so far defies calculation, Professor Niven found the clay Image of a Chinaman, with oblique eye slits, padded coat, flowing trousers and slippers. Only fr-i* «»TTTtra^pr i v a j p con f c r e ^ w ^ n d ^ a i J i i e h a n q i l o t ^ M plete portrait of a mandarin of the recently defunct Chinese empire. It should be remembered, however, that the Chinese did not adopt the queue until after they had been conquered by the Tartar hordes from the north The image is about seven inches in length, and where the arms are broken the edges of tbe clay show red and friable in the center. The Miter surface of the clay, however, \a Df granite hardness and it is only with the greatest difficulty that it can )e chipped with a hammer. "This Chinese image," writes Pro- 'essor Niven, "was not made by the Aztecs. It is much older and proves Miat the ancient people of Mexico were familiar with the Mongol type "It should be borne in mind that this image was not a god or an idof, but an ornament — perhaps a portrait Representative Jefferson Levy of New York, in the center of the picture, is the owner of MonticeMo, the home of Thomas Jefferson, and refuses to sell it to the United States under compulsion. On the left is Mrs. Martin W. Littleton, and On the right her secretary, Miss Thompson, with their arms full of petitions to have the government buy Monticello, whether Mr. Levy will sell or not. the children of the poor ought not to be allowed to choose for themselves the higher lines of industrial life. • Straws may not show where the "real causes'' come from, and again 'they may.

It seems to mo that we have enough of such meaningless, silly display of so-called patriotism. Unless the American boy has a good reason to be proud of his country, ho it on account of the protection which the government affords its citizens as to life, property and libertv, or for other reasons, such a display must appear senseless. Uncovering the bead does not make for better men. It is a sham. In theaters one can notice the hysterical shouts of the horde when the flag is displayed. Is this patriotism? If young America, were made to understand the lack of fair-mindedness, the prevalence of dishonesty, the brutal cruelty to which the aged are subjected, the nation-wide plundering of- the people by some of their paid officers, if our boys could be made to see and abhor all American trickery, then, if these boys could be brought to work for a betterment of conditions, for the implanting of honesty, integrity and justice, such a patriotism would be worth while. Let us work to that end and forget the fcticbisnv demonstrated when the national anthem is sung. Let us first pledge our hoys to work toward producing conditions of which every American shall have reason to be proud. Then let us uncover our heads to the flag tbarflies over such a country !

Before the woman could drive the cattle from the shed the fire was so clos«-> and the smoke so dense that she had to run back to the house and seek shelter in It. But the dog remained at its post and with almost human intelligence succeeded in driving the cattle, out of the burning shed.

Puyallup is t^he city, and if the run of salmon continues she will also be prominent as a fishing center as well as the hub of agriculture. As "fishy" as the story sounds, it Is nevertheless a fact, and should one care to venture to Puyallup in quest of the king of fish a well-filled string would be the result . The fish come from the Puyallup river through Clark's creek and into "Big Ditch," which crosses Meridian street, the main thoroughfare of the valley metropolis. The run is bo large that at times the water in .places bubbles'like an eddy. Persons in tbe vicinity of the stream have taken many a catch to their homes and there will undoubtedly be a slump in sales in the fish market as long as the run continues. The appearance of the salmon was discovered by Carl Hill, a city surveyor, who was making an investigation of the condition of the ditcji. f—; • Roof Parka for Firemen.

B. 'Upphicolt Co.) FIRST made the acquaintance of Hortense and Robert Perrichon while I was still police commissary in the Pantin district. A Scotland Yard official happened to be in my office when they were ushered in, and at the sight of tbem he leaned back: rn^..bis chair convulsed with laughter. .. "What's the fun?" I asked. "Why," he roared, "it's Sally and Sampson Brass come to life!" I had not read Dickens, and therefore did not understand the allusion. ,But when after his return to London my English colleague sent me an illustrated copy of "The Old Curiosity ^ Shop/' I appreciated tbe joke. Like Dickens's famous but unscrupulous characters, the Perrjchons were redhaired, tall and sallow-skinned, and curiously like each other, the resemblance being all tbe more striking because the woman wore her hair short. Hortense was christened Sally, a name that stuck To her. The father of Hortense and Robert kept a "reach-me-down" shop, in the Rue FaubouTg-du-Temple, and had several times been convicted of dealing In stolen goods. , After his death his bob and daughter carried on the business, but, more cautious than the old man, managed to keep clear of the law, and added considerably to their Income by lending money at fabulous rates. After a few years together, brother . and sister accused each other—probably with cause—of robbing the till, whereupon they gave up the shop, and Sally started a servants' registry office. Robert committed forgery, was sentenced to .three years' imprisonment, and after the expiration of his time left the country. Sally alsd graced the dock in connection with a case of swindling, but was acquitted, and for a long while nothing was heard of her. One morning a card was brought in to me bearing the name of Madame de Saint-Florent. Tt was Sally; and .-i^-~her~-EB#Wsh^©4£a44}ei—bird there be would have indulged in another laugh, for above her dowdy "I am have ciuite* enough criminals dress she wore a costly sable cape and a hat set rakishly on one side. "I ha^ve something to tell you, M. Ooron," she began her gruff voice; "Robert is back." - "Your brother?" She nflbled. ry to hear it," I said. "I on my hands, and could well have dispensed with him. Put why did you come to tell me that?" "Because I : n afraid of him. He looked so shabby and hungry that I bought him a rig-out and allowed him to take his meals with me. The other day I came home unexpectedly and found him busy with the lock of the cupboard in my bedroom. I forbade him to come to the house agaix. and then he threatened/me. and became so menacing that I gay*- him money to get rid of him. He will murder me one of these days." "If Robert threatens you/' I replied, •"You have only to go to the police commissary in yonr district; he will take the matter up/' "It's no use of my going Ihe re, 5£. Goron. I do not bear tike- best of reputations—'* "That you do not." ^ ul know it, sir. Aral, therefore., the police commissary will not trouble about me; nor would Robert mind him much. But the very mention of your name frightens my brother, and were you but to say a word to him it would bring him to his senses. Please do this for me, M. Goron." I told her that this affair did not concern me in any w;ay. Sally, however, left me no pea.ce. She said her life was in danger; and she begged »o hard that I at last promised to see her brother, and, to use her own •word*, "frighten him to death." "I shall be away from Paris for a week." I said, "so^you had better send me Robert in fen or twelve days." On my return from Cherbourg ray secretary informed me^/that Robert had called. j' "He has not grown handsomer/* laughed my assistant. "I gave him a good talking to, and he promised to leave Sally alone in the futile, although he asserts that all s h o u l d you «bTmt4ri8~tnreat£nJnx^^ his room in advance. He had not locked his door, and was found the next morning lying fully dressed ou the bed. The most careful examination of his papers faileu to throw any light on the affair, and at the official inquest a verdict *of suicide was returned. It transpired that M. F had withdrawn large amounts from his bank, no trace of which could be found. He neither speculated **hor gambled, and he always noted down every cent he spent. Yet of the hundred thousand francs that had disappeared no record could be found. What had become of the casb? His heirs movecj heaven and earth to And it, but in vain. Although I concurred in the verdict of suicide, I was not satisfied, for I scented blackmailers. Those who, like me, have lived in an atmosphere of crime, will know the mischief wrought by these scoundrels. In the pantomime of life, wherein criminals play such an important role, swindlers- and sharpers often impersonate the "funny man." But the blackmailer is the "villain,'* the traitor who stabs his victims irr the back, an4 rarely leaves a trace of his deadly work. When a few days aft^r M. F——'s funeral I called on his daughter and expressed my view, she indignantly declared that there could be nothing hidden in her father's life—a man whose refutation had been above suspicion. Her husband was of the same op^njony I knew they were speaking the truth, and I also knew that I could not hope for any help from them. After an anxious search I at last made an important discovery. M. F had engaged himself to a Baronne de V in Tours, and Jiad concealed this fact from his daughter ami his friends. Deeply in !ove with Madame de V ~ — , he had pressed her hard to fix their wedding for an early date, whereupon it was .arranged that it was to have taken place toward the end of June, tn less than a fortnight, however, he had suddenly become despondent, and, to the iady'ssurprise, had Informed her that the wedding heeivf-had--to--bg p^sTponedr-• ~ - - All this was related to me by Madame de;.V , who wks^pager to asof Hes/' "Why did he not wait for my return?'* I asked. "I reckon, sir, he was too frightened of you, and preferred me to deal with him." —Several-months elapsed, when the news reached me that a M / F had been found dead in a hotel in the Rue Lafayette. He was a widower, highly respected, and a member of two fashionable clubs. The postmortem show ed he had died from poisoning, and everything pointed to a suicide, although neither his married daughter, his valet or cook could assign any reason for the act. At the hotel I learned that M. F—r had come there the previous evening rftt about ten o'clock, and had paid for sis(t rri/ in^siTfiftg the matter, As I rosVfo take my leave she said: "The last time my poor friend was here he left, his cigarette-case behind, and inside '1 found this scrap of paper. It is in his handwriting, and the notes in pencil refer^ to a sale of a small estate ho owned. T am afraid you will not find it. very useful." 1 examined the leaflet with care. "Madame," I replied, "this scrap discloses four distinct facts, which, pieced together, may s-upply a valuable clue." ."What facts0 " , "The address printed at the top of the page is that of a shady cafe in the Boulevard Roebechouart. And did you notice, the curious characters at the back?" "Yes, - T did. 1 fancied they were Hebrew letters." "No,- they are Arabic^-JTEOm all this I deduce: First, thai/your friend, who could have gone tq such a place only under compulsion, did not meet the' people he had come to see; second that, having had to wait for them, he tfhiled away the time by scribbling these^otes on a piece of letter-paper he found lying on the table: third, that he grew impatient and restless, for ihe characters at the back are jotted down nervously and lack the firmness of the other writing; fourth, that, as * Arabic is not a language usuall&f aught at college, it is more than probable ^hat M. F spent some time in our African colonies." "Why, yes/' Madame de V — — exclaimed. "I remember he once described to me a scene he witnessed in Oran.'* • "That simplifies matters." I rejoined, "and I can now set to work." 'It is not always easy to dive Into a dead 'man's past. The moment the human machinery haB been brought to a standstill everything that once gravitated around him seems to disappear. He is forgotten by friends, and detractors who persecuted him to his last breath have potent reasons never to mention his name. But the threads supplied to me by i hat note would, I expected, put me on the right course, and I felt I could not have any peace as long as the miscreants responsible for M . P 's death went about unchallenged. The statement made to me by M. p »s daughter that her father's •reputation was above suspicion was undoubtedly true as far as Paris was concerned. If, therefore, there was a blot in.the man's life I bad to look for it elsewhere, and Oran at once presented itself to m> mind. I made discreet inquiries, and learned that some twelve years ago M. p 1 while in Oran, had allowed himself to be^ foolishly implicated In a scandal, which, thanks to powerful protection, 'had been hushed up. While I was trying to clear up that side of the problem, it was also essential that I should know something of th* people who frequented the cafe in the -Boulevard Rochechouart, and I selected as my observatory a rival establishment a few doors oft, whence I could watch thoae passing in and out. I .fee w 1 coujrj^ely my memory, and on the first day recognized many who in various ways bad passed through my hands. Not a few of tbem had anything but clean records, but they were either book-makers, sharp era, or tricky horse-dealers, frequenters of the race-course, whose specialty lay in a different direction. One evening, half an hour after I bad reached my post of observation. 1 saw a clean-shaven man walk up and take his seat outside. After a while he tapped at the window for a waiter, who replied to a question put to him, whereupon the man flew into a rage and, talking rapidly, pulled once or twice the lobe of his left ear. I looked at him in surprise. Many years ago I had known a fellow who. when his temper was roused, indulged in that curious habit. He was nicknamed the "Patriarch," because of his long heard; but he was reported to have died in the Toulon hospital. Hj^ name was Bachelet, and he had .been a notorious blackmailer. I cautiously got close to him, and then do doubt was possible. It was the "Patriarch," minus his beard and w!th his hair dyed black. Even had I not seen him pull his ear I should have known him by his eyes. He *was a cunning rascal, who to save his skin would not scruple to turn on his accomplices, which accounted for his having^ance received an ugly knife-thrust. ApfrmighN be declared at the time he taid not know his assailant, I suspected he haq good reason to conceal the truth. While I was watching him a\ man in a dirty blouse and torn cap, his <face begrimed wi]th dirt, the type of the Paris loafer, slouched past me and gave me a hardly perceptible nod. I had trouble to keep from laughing; "Toward ten o'clock he went, Jump- ' ed on a 'bus, changed twice, and when near the Boulevard Ney got down and walked toward the Rue Ropsse.au. It is a dark street, or I could not have followed him. At the end of the .sTreet, where a house is being built, I saw him climb over the palings, looking for something or somebody. He remained there for two hours, and then returned home the way he came. "Yesterday he rose late, spent the greater part of ihe afternoon in the cafe wtyere you pointed him out to me; and, the moment darkness had set in again, took up his position behind the palings in the Rue Rousseau. "I was beginning to wonder what it all meant, when I saw a woman walk down the street at a brisk pace. She was about a couple of yards from the place where I was hiding. At that moment Latouche rushed up to her. and, seizing her roughly by both arms, called out: 'I've caught you at last, you beauty,' But with a quick movement she shook him off, and turned on him like a tigress. At the same time her veil fell off and I recognized— whom do you think?—Sally, the—" "I know. Go on with your story." "Bachelet!' she shrieked, "I'll—' "But the fellow did not let. her c«ntinue. 'Don't bawl like that, you demon,' he hissed; 'only tell me where your brother is. You know how he swindled me. tbe despicable hound. Where-Is he?' " T swear I know nothing about him,' she cried. 'Hut if ever you dare again lay your dirty fingers on me. I'll bawl the name of Bachelet a little louder that I did tonight!' And she strutted away. Aa T wanted to report to you, I sent word to Berard to take my place and keep the fellow under observation. Do you want me to watch him further?" "No, Darlaud," I f=ald. "But tomorrow you must tell him I want to see to ask protection against her brother because be threatened her life; but 1 know better, It's all blarney. They meet at her house, and I have seen Robert go there repeatedly late at night and not come out aguin. Robert did me a bad turn. 1 meant to be even with him, and kept my eye on the pair. No easy matter, for they are never seen together. I found out he had dealings with a gentleman who seemed to stand in terror of him, and I traced this gentleman to his address in the Rue de Provence. His name, 1 discovered, was M . F , and when I heard he committed suicide I connected Robert with the affair. I ought to say Robert and his sister; for they work together, although the sister always manages to keep i n the background." "I compliment you on your detective skill," I said; "but how is It you bring me this information after so many weeks have elapsed?" "Because Robert suddenly disappeared, and I waited for his return before calling on you. Robert has been blackmailing that poor M . F , and, under the threat of disclosing something that occurred at Oran, succeeded in extracting a lot of money from his victim." "How do you know this?" I asked. "I heard it from one of Robert's pals, whom he cheated, like he does everybody." "Like he cheated you, too, in that business, I suppose?" He started from his chair. "No, *M. Goron," he cried, "I had nothing to do with this affair, or I would not be here to tell you about it." And'the old rascal bowed himself out. of the room. It is not to the credit of mankind that nine-tenths of the information supplied to the police is prompted by revenge; Rachelet. of course, had participated in the blackmailing affair, W H E N S H E SAW M E . S H E SHOOK HER H 5 T AT ME for, despite his disguise* I recognized darlaud,.one of my men. Poor Darjaud! In his constant hunt after criminals of the lowest order he rarely had time to appear in respectable clothes. It was even said that on his sister's wedding-day he had not found a minute to put on a clean suit, and that when be attempted to enter the church the beadle wanted to give him into custody. I walked a- little way in front of him and then turned around. "Do you see that man outside the cafe over yonder?" I asked. "Yes, sir." "Do not lose sight of him, and report his movements to me." On the afternoon of the third day Darlaud turned up. "I scent a mystery, sir." he began. -•-iflo-do-4^ tbe solution* of the mystery that puzzles you may prove the solution of the one I am trying to work out." "Well, s i r " he continued, "I never lost sight of my man; I had to go carefully to work, for he Is/terribly wide-awake. He madenme-tfrot. He dined at a wine-shop in the Rue Louis- Blanc, then strolled toward the Rue Belleville and entered an hotel kept by a man called Coulon. A minute later I saw him at one of the windows in his shirt-sleeves, HOA gathered he lived there. I at oncfr asked for a room for myself, and managed, to secure one two doors from our friend. His name, I discovered, Is Charles Latouche, or, rather, that is how he entered in the hotel books. matter, and you Address him, of him on a personal will bring him hero, course, as Latouche." The next morning at eleven he was f<hown in. His face was thin and crafty, and he peered at rue with curiosity and cunning expressed in his puckered eyes. *— "You are Latouche?" I began. "Yes, sir—Charles Latouche." "I have.an interesting communication to make to you. A man has just died, leaving all his estate to a certain Charles Latouche: and I h;.ve been asked to hunt for -/this fortunate heir. Have you any papers to prove your identity in case you are that lucky man?" He stared at me in bewilderment, and his hand slowly crept up to his left ear. will make me think of some one Mho had the same curious knack. His name was Bachelet." He turned Jivid. But I saw it was with rage and not from fear. " "When you began about tbat legacyV^ he said, "I kr.ew you were only making iun of me. Yes. I am Bach* elet; and I changed mjv&ame because of my past life. 'Tf you had not sent tor me. I would have come to see you, for I have something to say u> you. It refers to Hortense and Roberr Perrichon, sister and brother, twins, a queer couple, awfully alike. You know them?" "Yes." "They are a pair of scoundrels. The woman spread the story that she had and had evidently been defrauded by his confederate. With his usual caution, however, he had kept, on tbe K&fe side, and could, therefore, risk Renouncing him. I ordered Inspector Berard to arrest Robert, and, as we had not yet discovered his whereabouts to watch Rally's house, where he was supposed to go every night. 'Sally lived near the Porte Clingnaeourt, on the outskirts of the city, a forlorn spot facing the fortifications. It was a dismal building situated In what, had once been a garden, but had become a wilderness. A thick, high hedge ran along the front of the house, which ttood some yards away from the road; a v.;.'! ,. ; a ditch protected it at the back. In the garden was a well, walled In with massive ^tOTer---8eTeTar^^ of the dwelling were broken and blocked with wooden boards. A l - together, it was a gloomy place that would have lent itself admirably for a sensational scene i n a melodrama. On the morning of the fifth day, I_ found Inspector Berard sitting in my office looking very uncomfortable. "What's amiss?" I asked. "Kverythlng.V he" replied. "Fabre and I watched tho premises ^ very closely arid saw tho woman go out several times. But never k sign of Robert.

We want your help, sir." I jumped into a cab with my secretary, and drove straight to Sally'* house. Inspector Berard was outside, and informed me that the woman wa*i really ill. and th&t some one had gone to fetch medical help. I made a thorough investigation o# tbe place, my men following my m o ^ ment with curiosiiy. 1 went down the dricd-up well, and saw that the old stones, firmly cemented together, had. not been moved for a century, )\ tapped all the floors and walls, but found no trace of any secret passage* "Any clue, fir?" asked Berard. "Yes. Robert has been caught Ift his own trap, findvcannot get away. And now 1 shall pay a visit to Bally." The rooml entered was in a terribly untidy state. The floor, chairs, and tables were littered with artlclea ed the most heterogeneous description, and a strong tmf Jl of spirits pervaded the place. Stilly was sitting up In bedu her head propped up with pillows- When she saw me she shook ber floft at me and said )n an angry tone: "What do you want?

Legislature Would Prov foe^f&r Refersrjc'u. vi Soon After Election. X E years' residence in the Philippines in the civil service and as an officer in the Philippine constabulary excellent ly qualifies Capt. William E. Moore of that service to speak with authority as to administrative conditions on those islands. Captain Moore is the son of Levi \V Moore of Milford, Mass., manager of the Grafton ik. Upton railroad. He graduated from Milford schools and learned practical railroading under his father's instruction. His attention was drawn to the PJktfippiaes, and he entered service in Manila in the department having to do with transportation problems. He arrived in that city in October, 1903, but Buch was his efficiency that he was induced to accept appointment in the Philippine constabulary, beginning January 1, 1905. Iliy varied duties and service may be inferred from his work having fcecn in tho island-of TVIindaro in 1905, 7rr~r^trn~trr opinion as to the probable effect in the island of the great political change of the recent United States election, an editorial from the Manila Times of recent date may help to allay unnec-. essary apprehension of radical trouble. "It says: 'In all ordinary circumstances the prospect of a change of administration ^at Washington would be expected to/ influence, if it did not adversely affect, <^u^TTt^ ^conditions. Hut nothing 'of the kind has happened. Manila buys and builds and rents and sells in full confidence that no result of the American election can adversely affect its future. . . . No result at Washington can break tire era of stability and order in the* Philippines.' "But it is of the- constabulary and its work that I am most desirous to talk, for it is a subject with which I am most familiar. It is an organization of which but little is known outside of the islands, for a tacit rule of the command is>'silence and circumspection.' The 6hief or director is. Prig. Gen. Harry H. Bahdholtz of the United States army .and four of the to Cho mountain province of Ifugao in 190&, at headquarters in Manila unt i l August, 1910, then at San Fernando, L a Union, Northern Luzon until July, 1911, and then again to headquarters in Manila last summer, when he was given a six months' furlough. Much of what he says as to tbe routine of the officers and the constabulary is a synopsis of his own experience. H e will return to duty this month. Less than thirty years old, his position well illustrates the avenues of advancement for young men of energy disposed to steadiness and industry and ambitious. In his judgment the operation of the Panama canal will lend much impetus to the interest felt in the.-Atlantic coast commercial centers in our far* Eastern possessions have no Moore, "that -::4 mmdoubt," said Captain newspaper readers are fully familiar with general- conditions, . political and military, in the islands, their location and physical characteristics. - "For instance, it may be remembered that the imports of these islands i n the past fiscal year were $54,500,- 000 and the exports were $50,300,000: that these represented more than 12 per cent increase in each over the preceding year; that 40 per cent, of the imports are from the United States, while four years before the percentage was but 20 per cent. The increase in copra, hemp, sugar and tobaccp exports is remarkable and is in. creasing "There is ai/* increasing proportion <of tho native residents becoming selfsupporting and thrifty, more rice and •cano lands are under cultivation, more , attention paid by the natives to better home comforts and less to petty quara- els and indolence.

"The constabulary is in no way a part of the regular army. The executive head is the governor general of the Philippines and the immediate chief is the secretary of the insular department of commerce and police, to whom the * {rector reports. "The constabulary is a semi-military body for police service. Last July it included 333 commissioned officers from brigadier general-to second lieutenant, and 4,489 enlisted men, divided among Manila headquarters, five district headquarters, an information department, medical division, a constabulary band and oflicers' school "There are 96 companies, each having three officers and 45. men. Except 50 Filipinos, now commissioners, all the officers are Americans. Several of .the latter came to Manila with the volunteers in the 1893 campaign, some are of the regular army and still others come from civil life, transferred from the classified civil service. Some- of the officers have had service or training at West Point, or Annapolis. Of late appointments have been confined to pupils of leading military schools of the States. "The enlisted men are entirely Filipinos. Seven companies are from the Moros (Mahometans of Mindanao), three are of Bontoc (Igorrotes)), two are of Ifugaos, or wild men of Northern Luzon, and the rest are of Chris- B R A Z I L IS L A N D O F C O F F E E tian Filipinos from different parts of the islands. 'The constabulary do all sorts of public service, from entertaining men establishing quarantines, fighting disease, relieving the poor, setrhrrrg-village disputes, giving official countenance to village functions, creating-^enal and medical stations, etc. "The consiabulario is well trained. Besides his drill in soldiery duties he «6 taught outlines of the penal code of the islands, the municipal code, patrol and secret service work, different ways of getting information from natives, clear observation and equally clear reports thereon, the settlement of village disputes. "The annual duty of a mamber of the constabulary staff forces him to learn many things not in any book of tactics. He may be one week a deep-sea navigator and then jump to mountain service. When on duty in coast towns in the lowlands he is used to travel on all sorts of native craft or modern motor boats: must know something of tides and shore currents; must know all small coves or harbors of refuge; must know how to avoid ufcset in surf by backing to shore in his rowboat and prevent a smashed craft. "The officers receive extra compensation for qualifying in a native dialect and this is a very important factor in his efficiency, for to be able to greet some old native in his' native tongue adds much to the respect in which he is held by the natives. "In such cases the native knows the officer better, trusts him quicker and sooner gives that confidence that is so greatly an element of peaceful control of the islands. The officer thus learns things and men he never could, through an interpreter, and the native as quickly learns the former is his friend and protector so long as he is Iaw-abidin^^ancLhonest He learns_also While some members of the legis- Ilature ho ye to finish by April 1, the majority can't see the end of business before May 1.

An officer of the constabulary or an American who has occasion to travel anywhere may safely seek shelter and food at any Filipino home, whether at the home of the wealthy or humbler native, at the home of the country tao or an Ifugao chief. He will be given a place to sleep and as good food ^as your host has. In the home of the wealthy you literally command the owner and his servants if his guest. "The poor man will literally kill his last chicken unless you stop him first for your meal, and when an Ifugao chief sees you coming down a trail to his hut he will run to meet you with a bottle of 'bubud,' a native drink. What matter if it is covered with years of ^timtf or half a dozen flies be floating on the top? It is the best he has. If you hesitate he -will hurriedly drink first to assure you it is not poisoned.

"There is, to be sure, a mixture of high and crude civilization, of varied vary fully as much as do the islands in topography, yet the firm, just rule of the American is accepted with an alacrity and confidence by the^ natives and resident foreigners alike that promises much for the splendid future of the islands and their people." where we take somewhere near half of all that is grown. At first it came only from northern Africa, Arabia and Turkey; then the Dutch began experimenting and succeeded in cultivating it in Java, and the French In the West Indies. For a while these were the principal sources of supply. The story goes that in 1760 a Portuguese, Joao Alberto Castello Branco, planted a tree in Rio, and from that small start, thanks to its peculiarly favorble soil and climate, Brazil soon outstripped the others and took the lead.

How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should he so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind, of food or eat too much, and there you are— Indigestion and its accompanying miseries. A Phila. lady said: "My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee—feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. We actually dreaded to eat our meals. (Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "We tried doctors and patent medicines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit. "Accidentally, a small package of Postum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surprising results. We both liked i t and have not used any coffee since. "The dull feeling after, meals has left us and we feel better every way. We are so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable hy coffee."

Ely will ask the legislature to appropriate $1,000,000 to be used, in the construction of state reward roads during the^next two years. Governor Ferris, in his inaugural message to the legislature strongly indorsed a plan to improve the condition of the, roads in this state and it is expected that. Ely's request for a liberal appropriation will receive some consideration at the hands of the present law making body. Hpwever, Highway Commissioner Ely says that if the legislature will act favorably on. Secretary of State Frederick C. Martind&le's proposal which was approved by Governor Ferris, to eliminate the local tax from automobiles, increase the state license fee and turn the proceeds into the highway fund, that it will be unnecessary to ask the state for an appropriationv of $1,000,000. Enlargement of the Capitol. Rep. Charles Flowers, of Detroit, introduced a bill calling for an appropriation of $750,000 for the purpose.of building an addition to the state capitol. This measure is indorsed by the state bar assocaitiou and every county bar association in Michigan. Two paramount reasons are mentioned why the building should be enlarged. Tho first is that the state has outgrown the quarters provided when the state house was constructed in the middle seventies. The second paramount reason for the appropriation, it is claimed, is, that the contents of the state library, conservatively estimated to be worth $300,000, would be destroyed^, a fire got good headway, for the books and valuable documents are not properly protected. The Game Laws.^ State Game and Forestry Warden W. R, Oate3, in the annual report of his department, recommends a num- "ber of radical change's in•"Ttref=present laws. Civil service for employes, limiting hunters to one deer and changing the opening of the season to November 10, the abolishment of spring shooting of wateV f^wl and shore birds, requiring non-resident fishermen to secure license and increasing the number of deputies from 10 to 20,, are among Oates' recommendations. The passage of a bill providing that each resident hunter shall pay a license fee of one dollar, which license shall be issued and used only during the open season, would supply an annual revenue of $100,000, it is estimated by the department. "Pure Shoe Bill." On a par with the now celebrated "pure wool proposal" with which Congressman Lindquist, of Greenville, won his way to a seat in congress from the eleventh district, is the bill of Senator Woodworth of Huron county, which might be termed the "pure shoe bill," The Wodworth bill is a copy of the measure now pending in congress and a somewhat similar law passed by the Louisiana legisl ture. The bill does not pp&hi&^t^JJhe use of inferior materials In the construction of shoes, but provides that when anything other than leather is used in the manufacture of supposed leather footwear, the fact shall be plainly labelled or printed on the shoes. ^ F i l l i n g the Hopper. Among the progressive measures introduced \in the house was one by Rep. Dunn'providing for the recall of all elective state officers. Rep. WJielan, progressive from Hillsdale, and Rep. Murphy from St. Joseph, sent in practically duplicate bills prohibiting the intermarriage' of whites and colored races. Following are some of the more important bills dumped into the house hopper: Bill permitting the sale of rabbits; bill authorizing reciprocal demurrage of railroads; bill providing for the Torrens system of land transfers; bill providing firemen's pension fund; bill permitting students and traveling men to vote away from home; bill providing better hotel sanitation; bill providing hospitals for inebriates; bill requiring saloons to remove all screens-and—bills-providing" amendments to the banking laws. inspection of Gasoline. Rep. L. J. Wojcott, of Albion, presented a Bill tfrovftfing for a complete and thorough inspection of gasoline sold in Michigan. It also provides for labeling of the benzine series as "naphtha" if they fall below 60 degrees Beau me, and as gasoline when they are above that figure. A l l gasoline, by the VVolcott bill, will have to be It is evident, judging by the way things have lined up during the opening days of the session, that the calcium light will be turned on the house this year, as the senators have evidenced a desire to pull together and work for some good legislation. Not so, however, with the members of the house. Of such a progressive nature during the last regular and special sessions that it was willing to • push through any sort of a measure, the house attracted considerable attention for its willingness to act, but this year it is apparent that some of the old time leaders are bucking over the traces. Already some of the progressive republicans in the house are complaining'that the leaders of the G. O. P. majority are not acting for the best interests of the party and the people of the state, and the whole trouble has apparently arisen over the adoption of the resolution introduced by Rep. Farmer, the democratic leader, that all recounts shall be discontinued and no action taken. Rep. D. G. F. -Warner, who has been an avowed and ppen supporter of the liquor interests in the house for several years, aided the democratic leader in the passage of the resolution. Every democrat, a number of progressives whose seats were to have been contested, and several republicans, supported the resolution. The republicans who were anxious to have some of the districts recounted allege that it was a move on the part of the liquor interests. This statement has apparently caused a fine little split in the ranks of the republicans in the lower house and there is no telling to what lengths the controversy may be carried. Calmer heads over in the senate are already urging the recalcitrant members of the house to bury the hatchet and assist, in putting through some good legislation. Shipments of Live Stock. Rep.4Dunn, of Sanilac, has prepared a bill compelling railways to give live .stock precedence over ordinary freight A movement has been started in Michigan and surrounding states by live stock buyers and shippers, which is based on the fact that the railways have made stock shipments feel the brunt of the delays. The bill establishes a minimum rate of speed for stock shipments of say 15 miles per hour while in Michigan territory. Shippers claim tho railroads made it, a business to hold up stock in order to add feeding charges and then only furnish feed enough for a tenth of the number shipped. , State Tax Commissiono. If the senate affirms the appointments of Gpvernor Ferris the democrats will control the state tax com- .mission as the r.hiftg executive has, named Thomas Kearney, of Ann Arbor and Orlando F. Barnes, of Roscommon to succeed Thomas D. White and W. B. Mershon. Barnes has twice been the democratic candidate for land commissiqner_and a number of years ago was democratic mayor of the city of Lansing. Kearney has long been a prominent democrat in Washtenaw county. Free Text Books. There is considerable opposition already being manifested against the bilte providing for free text books and uniform text books. One prominent member of the legislature says that if the present law was applied there would be no demand for free text books, as the law specifically provide*s that school districts can purchase books at wholesale and either sell or give them away to school children.

"I shall visit all of the state departments, as I believe that it is the duty of the chief executive to be on good terms with the men who are transacting the state's business," said Ferris. "I shall visit the legislature sometimes. I do not think that it is beneath the dignity of a governor to call upon the lawmaking body of the state. # Even though I might want to stay away, I am sure that my curiosity would get the better of me and I would visit both the house and senate."

The crate is raised and lowered by hitching a good horse or team to a rope which passes from the top of the drum down through an auxiliary pulley and from there to the clevis for the singletree or doubletrees. The auxiliary pulley can be the regular floor pulley for tjie hay fork rope. After the rope passes through the pulley the team may travel i n any convenient direction. Buy Feed or Sell Pigs? A good many are asking what they are to feed their pigs, this season, with corn at 86 cents a bushel and mid OTngM175 per cwt^and p r o s p e c t s ^ J J i e x i a u s e ^ J o s i n g ^ r ^ u d ^ p e c going still higher. For the man who has pigs and no feed, we thing it would be about the most reasonable thing for him to sell his pigs to some man who has feed, and save himself the drudgery of carrying the food to them and the risk of losing good money i n the process. It is the opinion of the writer that even with pork abnormally high, there is no money to be made just now by feeding hogs on a ration that must all he purchased at current prices.

Hdjtt Bey, a little Turkish settlement, nestled on the cliffs that overlook the harbor and dozed und.r the sultan across the Black sea, writes Sydney Atfamson in Harper's Magazine. The long arm of Russj^ reached out and took it, and planted there, upon the plateau overlooking the bay, the beginners of a commercial city that now holds between 500,000 and 600,000, The revolution in Fiance soon sent refugees scattering over the world, and noble names came to Odessa, and one may read them still on street corners —Dartbas, Richelieu and Langeron. Later Englishmen came and brought ships to carry away Russian ^grain/and then the Crimean war swept across this friendly relation. But the English staid when the war had passed, and then Germany came, m d afterward Americans, with reapers and plows and steam traction engines, to help the Russians to grow more richly the grain that the English and the German ships carried out to the world. Last of all came the Jews, and they cut the business so fine thr.t the English starved and gave up; so the business of exporting today is mainly in the hands of the Jews. A few hardy Germans and English are left. The Mercury de France has been making some inquiries as to the respective popularity of the various modern languages in tho schools of Europe, and it finds that French is still far ahead of all compqtitors. It says that in England German finds less and less favor, and that pupils who have any option fir-regard to a modern language always choose French^,- In France, however, since 1870, Gjferman has perhaps secured a preponderance over English in the bycees, says the Westminster Gazettre. In Germany the study of French has progressed to the detriment of English, but the government has intervened in order to develop the teaching of English, which it regards as of great importance in commercial matters. French is how taught in Italy more (han ever before, but German is also gaining some ground, especially in the north. In Spain French has more pupils than any other foreign language, and English comes next. The passion for censorship seems to be on the increase. It may properly be considered as a by-product of the growing paternalism on the part of our government. In the newspaper post office bill we have the first stages of a censorship of the press. There is also a censorship of the moving picture industry/ which will doubtless In time be extended to the whole theatrical field. Already this is true in England, says Life. What is really needed, however, is a censorship to suppress the truth. The truth is getting very bold in these days, and unless some measures are taken to curtail her activities, lamentable results will follow. The governor of Michigan urges a sort of church uniform dress for women, plain and inexpensive, which all can wear. So guileless a theory ought to be followed up by a proposal that horse races should be conducted with a view of affording artistic enjoyment hy the easy grace of horses, with all ?tUng eliminated. A great joke was played upon President Hadley at the recent banquet for the Harvard foolbafl team by the Boston alumni. A student, cleverly disguised, and speaking broken English, was Introduced to the "Prexy" as "Herr Baron von Keppel," just over from Germany! President Lowell lent himself to the foreigner's entertainment, recalling other distinguished foreigners who had shown interest In the university. When the stranger asked, •'What time do they chase the eats on board?" the president promptly recognized him as a Harvard man by his university English.

N E W S F R O M T H E S T A T E C A P I T O L BASIC S Y S T E M OF T R U N K LINE STATE ROADS TO BE BUILT BY CONVICT LABOR. A BILL FOR STATE* WIDE PROHIBITION COMING JJP. The Session of the Legislature Is Now Growing More and More Inter- ^ eating to the People Each Day. " i t i s said that the sultan of Turkey Is skilled as a pianist. Most of his victims would prefer to be massacred. They? say that the new $10,000 bill Is a work of art But only the millionaire collectors can afford to have it framed* / A Seattle boy of twelve has"* beautiful crop of whiskers. Wonder If they're the latest style? [By Gurd M . Hayes.] William H . Allsweed, national progressive senator from the twentyfourth district, will be the good roads advocate of the present session. His ideas on the need of good highways are a little advanced of even the average enthusiast on good roads and his scheme for a basic system of trunk line state roads is attracting attention and general commendation. He has been busy for some time preparing measures to pave the way for a system of Michigan trunk line highways. He has the plan^worked out and is now getting bills ready for introduction to put them into execution. His scheme calls for three trunk line highways in the lower peninsula. One of these is the Western Michigan lake shore line project to extend from Niles to Mackinac, another is a central north and south line on the meridian and another across the state line from Detroit to St. Joseph. Another .projpct calls for an upper peninsula road. The idea is to construct this 1,000 miles of state road, using convict albor and drawing upon half the automobile tax to cover the expense. He claims it will cost about $2,000,000 and can be completed in two or three years. Changes in Compensation. * Important changes in the workingmen's compensation act are advocated by Senator Frank James, of Hancock, in a bill introduced in the- upper house. The changes have been approved by the labor leaders of the state and are well received by the members of the legislature. One change provides that no compensation shall be paid for an injury which does not incapacitate the employe for more than one week. Under the present law the limit is two weeks. Another provision sets forth that compensation shall begin on the eighth day after the injury, instead of 15 days, as under the present law, and if the injury continues so as to incapacitate and employe for four weeks or longer, compensation shall start at the date of the injury. Senator James has introduced another bill giving the employer the right to pay the employe compensation direct, in case the employer carries insurance and also gives the employers the right to receive the amount of the compensation direct j'rom the insurance company. Governor Favors Suffragists. Governor Ferris gladdened the hearts of the suffragists of this state when he declared at the annual meeting of the Michigan Equal Suffrage Association that he was absolutely in favor of their cause and that he would do everything in his power to assist them when the constitutional amendment is submitted to a vote in this state again. The democratic chief executive declared to the women that victory would come to thyn either at the next election or in some election to follow. ^Although he expressed, the belief that It would not be possible for him to take the stump in their behalf, owing to pressing duties in the executive office, Governor Ferris informed the delegates that they could call on him for assistance in any other way. Contests A l l Settled. A l l of the contests in the house and senate resulted in favor of the candidates tb whom certificates of election had previously been issued. However, the battle in the senate betweeri Senator James MoGregor ,the democratic member from Ypsialnti, and Frank Covert, the defeated republican from Pontiac, nearly resulted in\a fine little row. Many republican stalwarts came here to intercede in Covert's behalf, but the senate held that the intent of the voters was clear despite the apparent Irregularities in conduct- In^ the ^ by a vote of 22 to 9, McGregor waff permitted to retain his seat. Stenographic Reports There is a possibility that the proceedings of the Michigan legislature, including all the debates will be recorded by stenographers and that the report will be. as complete as the congressional record at Washington, Senator James Murtha, the democratic .floor leader introduced a resdlution to make a complete, report of the^e-asion, but inserted a provision to the effect that no ''undelivered" speeches could be read ijato the record. State Wide Prohibition. Despite the fact that many members were anxious to avoid i t there is every indication that the liquor question will play a prominent part in the deliberations of present legislature. Rep. Dunn of Sanalac county, started the ball rolling when he introduced a concurrent resolution to be submitted to the electors of Michigan at the fall election in 1914 providing for state wide prohibition. One of the great features o^the Dunn resolution is the unqualified support given the state wide prohibition movement by the Michigan Anti-Saloon league. Here toi'pre the league and the prohibitionists of the state have not worked in harmony, the league leaders claiming that prohibition was sxnjgbt after, but was not practical. T^is year the leaders are evidently inclined to the belief that the time is ripe for success and the league is willing to devote itself to prohibition for the whole state instead of confining its efforts to local option. The method of submitting the matter as an amendment to the constitution is deemed to involve more work but if successful is certain to be more secure. In a long interview J. F. Burke, state superintendent- of the Anti-Saloon league commends the resolution and the state wide prohibition However, it is not expected that the Durin resolution will have an easy time going through the two houses and it would not be surprising it' the measure is killed outright. It is known that there will be strong opposition t*o it and it is doubtful whether the supporters of the state wide prohibition movement will be able to muster two thirds of the upper house in its favor. Re-elected U. S. Senator. United States Senator William A l - den Smith has been re-elected by the republicans of Michigan to serve another term of six years as one of Mich-, iguns's representatives in {he upper house cf congress. Party lines were closely drawn when the legislature ratified the primary vote. Each of the 74 republicans stood firmly for Senator Smith, the 40" democrats rallied to the support of Alfred Lucking, wtfile the 17 national progressives voted as a unit for Theodore Joslin. Lucking's vote was the largest that any democratic candidate for United States senator* in Michigan has received, in a great many years. As a general rule there is a top heavy republican majority in the legislature and democratic candidates for this honor have stood little or no chance. When the final decision was rendered at the joint session Senator Smith was present and addressed the members. It was not so very many years ago that Senator Smith, then "Biliy" Smith, was a page in the legislature, running the errands of the members of the house. For the second time he has been elected by the legislature to serve the people of Michigan as the United States senate. It is generally believed that a Michigan legislature has performed this function for the last time as it is the opinion of a majority of the lawmakers that United States senators will be elected by direct .vote, before 1917 when Senator Charles E. Townsend's term expires. Repeal of Telephone Law. Some of the small, independent telephone companies through the state have already learned that the cerebrated Giles law, passed at the session of 1911, was not the peoples' measur©Jt was painted. The public is awakening to the fact that some one^slipped^ one- over in the interests of rfhe tele-* phone mergers, and the freezing out of the little companies, and Rep. John Schmidt of Osceola cpunty has introduced a bill for a repeal of the law. Schmidt says the little companies have gotten the worst of the deal and he claims that the grange influence that'was directed in favor of the Giles bill two years ago now stands for its repeal. Various Bills. Rep. Follette introduced a bill compelling railways carrying live stock to give precedence over all other freight. Rep. Catlin of Ingham has introduced a bill placing all county officials on a salary, basis and eliminating the fee system. It is not .thought that this bill 'will pass, as the office of sheriff, county clerk and.register of deeds are fixed by the constitution which provides that they may receive fees and It ^vould require a constitutional amendment to change the present system. Rep. Whelan of Hillsdale has introduce d~a~b1 11 providihg for the" pensioning of school teachers. Rep. McBride of Shiawassee has presented a bill requiring itinerant creamery projects to file evidence of responsibility with the state dairy and food department-be- ^ o r e ~ W e ^ ^ line of credit in the purchase of milk. State Tax Commlsslono. IX the senate affirms the appointments of Governor Ferris the democrats will control the state tax commission as the chief executive has named Thomas Kearney, of Ann Arbor and Orlando F. Barnes, of Roscommon to succeed Thomas D. White and W. B. Mershon. Barnes has twice been the democratic candidate for land commissioner and a numbekof years ago*was democratic mayor of the city of Lansing. Kearney has long been a prominent democrat In Washtenaw county". T W O W A I F S O F T H E C A R I B B E A N S E A Willie Gee of Jamaica is a veritable "waif of the Bea." Down where Willie lives the bathing is always fine, and he "takes to water like a fish." While the old steamer the Foxton Hall was plowing along near the Windward passage Mate Donnelly espied a monster cocoanut tree, to which a human being was clinging. The being turned out to be a little ten-yearold Jamaican pickaninny, almost starved to death, but clinging to his dog. They had been blown 100 miles out to sea in a hurricane. Inequality Found in Parcef Post. Patrons of the parcel post in the northern part of the United States have discovered they are unable in all cases to send packages the full fifty miles prescribed as the extent of the first zone. This is due to the fact that a degree of longitude ^Is considerably shorter in the northern than in the southern part of the country. The phenomenon nas led to the complaint that parcel post patrons are being overcharged on first zone distances and to the suspicion that a mistake was mi.de in the working out of the zone maps. The department tsates, however, that the variation is unavoidable and that no injustice is involved. Power Firms Liable to Fines iThe state of Michigan, through the state railroad commission, is in a position to pick up about $100,000 a day in penalties from power and light companies in the state. Only 34 had filed tariff schedules with the commission, and all had been ordered to have their rates on file by Jan. 15; There is a penalty of $300 for disobeying this order of the commission and the law states that each day shall be considered to constitute a separate offense, U. S. Interested in P. M.'s Train. Postmaster General Hitchcock is going to take a hand in the proposal by the Pere Marquette railway to discontinue train No. 1, running between Detroit and Saginaw. Marquette persists it mail-carrying conwith the United If the Pere may forfeit every tract it now has States. »The head of the postoffic^r department is known to take the stand that it is not proper for railroads, for the sake of escaping a temporary loss, to discontinue the operation of federal mail trains. It is further known that Postmaster General Hitchcock is ot^the opinion that railroads should not be allowed thus to disarrange the mail service on one route without being made to suffer on other routes. Many mail contracts are renewable about this time and if the train in question, which carries heavy mails, is withdrawn. It is likely to affect negotiations as to other routes in the state. 25,000 Albanians Slain by Serbs. Twenty-five thousand Albanians have been "more or less wantonly" killed in the Turkish province of Kossovo by the Servian regulars and irregulars since the invasion by yiem of Eft*QP_ean Turkey, according/to trn^ Reichpost 0£ Vienna. The newspaper demands the dispatch of a Etaropean^ommission to investigate the^Teports of horrible atrocities. Michigan .Electors .Cast .Ballot .for Roosevelt. Michigan's Bull Moose on the 14th of January entered into the fullness of their national victory in this state, when 15 presidential electors assembled in the senate chamber in Lansing and cast their votes for Theodore Roosevelt for president of the United States. Auditor-Gen. Wants Changes In State LaNA^s. Auditor- General O. B. Fuller .has sent to the legislature several suggestions and recommendations as to what he thinks are good changes to be made in several of the laws now on the statute books. He also recommends the repeal of some laws. Rolled 30 feet along the track, Oscar Ehrman, aged 5, barely escaped death under a street car in Kalamazoo. Work of raising the $280,000 bonus fund for the Muskegon & Manistee interurban railroad is now under way, with a total of $7,500 contributed in three days' soliciting in three townships along the route. The township of Laketon raised more than $1,000, Whitehall $1,600, and Hart $4,000. The Lake*^arrIers, association club house in Port Huron, has been completed. The structure is one* of the finest of the kind on the great lakes. The association membership consists of masters, first and second mates and enginers on great lakes vessels. No Inaugural Ball for Wilson. "There will be no inaugural ball," declared William C. Eustic, chairman of the inaugural committee, after an informal conference with several members over President-elect Wilson's letter requesting that the committee consider thV feasibility of omitting the function. "The wishes of President-elect Wilson will be complied with," said Mr. Eustis. "The committee will take official action later." Gov. Wilson pointed out that use of the pension office building, where the inaugural balls have been held for generations, would mean a costly stoppage of government work. The suggestion was made that, instead of a ball, President and Mrs. Wilson receive at a formal reception, to be held in the rotunda of the capitol. Prosperity Greatest Ever, Prosperity never before equaled in the-history of the country marked the manufacturing industries of the United States during the calendar year of 1912, according to a statement issued by the federal bureau of foreign and domestic commerce in Washington. The bureau's statisticians based their declarations on the importations of material used in manufacturing-and 6n the movement of domestic materials from the points of production to the factories. The Northern-Gas Oil-Go<«~own*4-Newaging and operating the newly struck oil field at Allegan, has increased its capital from $20,000 to $50,000. In the recount in Saginaw, Senator Weadock in 37 out of 47 wards and townships had gained three votes. His majority is now 15. T H E B A R O M E T E R OF T H E P O S T O F F I C E , T H E R E A D I N G OF W H I C H S H O W S W E S T E R N C A N A D A ' S G R O W T H . Several of Western Canada newspapers coming to hand during the last part of the year 1912 contained items of news such as the following, speaking of the Christmas work in th«^ postoffice! "Other years haveN been heavy and the employees have hbd plenty of opportunity of learning what it was to work overtime, but the past has had nothing equal to the present. Forty extra men have been employed (in Winnipeg), and mail trains have been run special. The increase in the mail this year has been due to the enormous influx of people into Western Canada during the season, and also the general prosperity which the prairie provinces have enjoyed. To the latter cause has been due the heavy increase in the number of parcels which have been shipped to the old country and Eastern Canada." The above extract taken from a Winnipeg paper gives a fair idea of the great work that the Canadian postoffices have had all through the western prairies. During the past year hundreds of new postoffices were established, many of them at remote points from the railway, but all forced upon the country on account of the new settlements that have taken place during the year. It is said of the Canadian government that in its immigration and settlement policy there is nothing left undone to take care of the people and their welfare, whether it be in the new town along a new line of railway or in the remotest hamlet. This solicitude and care are not confined to the postoffice, but with every branch that has to do with organizing new districts. Bridges have been built, roads constructed, the district policed, and a dozen other things have to be done and are done. Is it any wonder that with the splendid land, the high yielding land, the land that is free to the homesteader or open to purchase at reasonable prices from the railway and land companies, that the Canadian immigration records for 1912 will show arrivals of upwards of 400,000, one-half of this being from the United States. The new literature being sent out by the immigration branch at Ottawa, and its agencies throughout the United States deals with many of the new and interesiingfeatures that will mark the work of that branch for tho year 1913.—Advertisement. UNKIND INFERENCE. "My husband and I never quarrel "Where does he live? In Europe?" Touching the Cardinal. At the Democratic convention in Baltimore last summer two of the sergeants- at-arms were Ohioans, Col. John Bolan of Toledo and Capt. Joseph Dowling of Dayton. Bolan is the wit who laid down the maxim that "anny man who parts his hair in the middle is no Dimmycrat." When Cardinal Gibbons had finished the opening prayer, he descended from the rostrum and made his way toward the door. As he neared the exit where the two Ohioans were on guard, Bolan whispered: "Joe, touch him whin he passes ye." "All right, colonel," replied Dowling, with an inocent air. "What pocket has he got it in?"—Popular Magazine. Familiar to "Mike." 4 negro clairvoyant who for some time masqueraded as a Hindoo was recently visited by a collector, Mike O'Conner. f .

There followed hours of superhuman struggle toa save the Jeanne D'Arc. Her crew, sufficient in ordinary weather, was too small to cope with the storm,..and the leaking ship. Ballast had to be shifted or flung overboard. Repairs had to be worked incessantly. It transpired that the yacht had gone far out of her course during the fog the night before, and had tried to turn inshore, even before the leak was discovered. No one knew what waters they were that lashed so furiously about the disabled craft. The storm overhead had abated, but the rage of the sea was unquelled. Before long the engine was stopped by the rising water, and then the hand pumps were used. There was some hope that the leak had been discovered and at least partly repaired. The captain thought that, if carefully managed, the yacht might hold till daylight. Jimmy joined the gang and worked like a trojan, helping wherever a man was needed, shifting ballast, untackling the boats, handling thgfpump. It was at the pump that he found himself some time during the. night, working endlessly, it seemed. Not once had he lost sight of the real purpose of his presence on the yacht. If Agatha Redmond were aboard the unlucky vessel —and he had moments of curious perplexity about it—he was there to watch for her safety. He pictured her sitting somewhere in the endangered vessel. She could not but be terrified at her predicament. Whether shipwreck or abduction threatened her, she must feel that she had indeed fallen into the hands of her enemies. He worked his turn at the pump, then made up his mind to risk no further delay, but to search the ship's cabins. She was in one of them, he believed; frightened she must be, possibly i l l . He had done all that the furthest stretch of duty could demand in assistance to the ship. He^would find Agatha Redmond at any cost, if she were aboard the Jeanne D'Arc. Again he thought to himself that he was glad he was there. Whatever purpose her enemies had, he alone was on her side, he alone could do something to save her. It was now long past midnight, but not pitch dark either on deck or on the sea. The electric lights had gone out long before, but lanterns had been swung here and there from the deck fixtures. As Jimmy came up, he thought the men were preparing to lower the boats, but when he asked about it in his difficult French, the sailor shook his head. There were more people about than he supposed the yacht carried ; several 'seamen, three or four other ' men, and a fat woman sitting apathetically on a pile of rope. He, went from group to group, and from end to end of the yacht, looking for one , woman's face and figure. He saw Monsieur Chatelard, examining one of -the boats. He ran down the saloon stairway, determined to search the cabins before he gave up his quest. One! moment he prayed that the. words of Chatelard might be true, and that she had never been aboard the yacht; the next moment he prayed^he might find her behind the next closed door. As James* searched below deck, a house palatial disclosed itself, oven in the dim light of the little lanterns. Cabins roomy and comfortable, furnishings of exquisite taste, all the paraphernalia of the cultured and the rlch^were^here. Some of the cabin doors were standing open, and none was locked. Jimmy beat on them> called from room to room, finding nothing. Every human occupant was gone. Sick at heart, he again rushed on deck. Was he mistaken after all? Or had they hidden her in some secret part of the thlp where he could not find her? When Jimmy got back to the deck V he saw that the groups had gathered on the pert side. Sharp orders were being given. He crowded to the railing, straining his eyes to see, and found that they were transferring the ship's company to the boats. A rope ladder swung from the deck to a boat beneath, which bobbed like a cork beside the big, plunging yacht. Two people were in the boat, a sailor standing at the bow, and a large muffled figure of a woman sitting in the stern. Jimmy at once knew her to be the apathetic fat woman he had seen a few minutes before on deck. His eye searched the company crowded about the top of the rope ladder, and suddenly his heart leaped. There she w;as, at the edge of the deck, waiting for the captain to give the word for her to descend to the boat below. As Jimmy's eyes grew accustomed to the darkness, he saw her more and more plainly, a pale face framed in a dark hood, a tall, cloaked figure waiting calmly to obey the word from the superior officer. ' It was the third time Jimmy had seen her, but he felt as if he had found one dearer than himself. His eyes dwelt on her. She was not terrified; her nerves were not shaken. "I am ready," she said, turning to the captain. It was the same fine, free voice, suggesting—Oh, what did it not suggest! Never this dark, wild night of danger! Jimmy thrilled to it again as ixe had thrilled to it once before. He waved jubilant hands. "Agatha Redmond!" he called, across the space and heads that divided them. Whether she heard his call he did not know. At that moment the word was given, and she turned an almost smiling face to the captain in reply. She knelt to the deck and got footing on the Blippery rope. Men above held it and helped as best they could, while the sailor below waited to receive her into the little boat. She was steady and quick as a woman in such a perilous position could be. As she descended, the row boat, insecurely held to the Jeanne D'Arc, did sternward a few feet; and while she waited in midair for the boat to be brought up again, the Jeanne D'Arc gave a mighty plunge. The captain shouted from the deck, a sailor yelled, then another; the dipping sea tossed the yacht so that for an instant the boat below and the woman on the ladder were hidden from-Jim's view. He climbed over the rail and edged along the narrow margin of the deck until he was a few feet nearer the rope, his heart thumping with fear of calamity. \ And even as the thought came, the thing happened. The wrenching of the ropes, insecurity of their fastenings, some blunder on the part of the seamen—whatever it was, the rope loosened like a filament of gauze, and, with its precious burden, dropped into the angry water. Before a breath could be drawn, the black waves churned over her head. As, for the second time, Jim saw disaster engulf the Vision that had such power over him, he was seized by a cold numbness. "Oh, you brutes!" he groaned aloud; but his groan had scarcely escaped him when he heard loud altercation among the men, and in a moment, , the usual tones of Monsieur Chatelard commanding: "Never mind! Quick with the boat on the other side!" The seamen rushed to the opposite side, now -impatient to make the boats. In the fear that was growing momently upon the men, there was no one to give a thought to the vanished woman. Jimmy clung to the rail for a second, peering over the water. With a cry ot gladness he saw her pale face rise to the surface of the water several feet away and toward the bow. """'"keep up a second! It's all right!" he shouted. Quick as- thought .he snatched a life preserver from its place on the rail, and ran forward. He called thrice, "Keep up, I'm coming!" then threw the cork swiftly and accurately to the very spot where she floated, A. watched, to see if she gained it. It seemed that she did, and yet something was wrong. She was not able to right herself immediately in the "Thank save you God!" yet!" he breathed. "I'll C H A P T E R VIII. "Surely they do not me-aa H; they must return, for you, at least." The girl beside hiin knew batter, but she was conscious of the paralyzing despair of her.companion's heart, and made a show of being cheerful. "When they rind they are safe they may think of us," she said. "But the men were already crazed with fear, even before the leak was discovered. One of their mates on the voyage over was a fortune-teller, and he. prophesied danger to them all on their next trip. After they had come into port, the fortune-teller himself died. And who can blame them for their fear? They are all superstitious; and as no one ever regarded their fears, now they have no regard for anybody's feelings but their own." "But we are in the middle of the Atlantic, no one knows where. We may drift for days—we may starve— the Lord only knows what will happen to us!" Agatha, who had been floating, swam a little nearer and laid her hand on Jim's shoulder, until he looked into her face. It was full of strength and brightness. 44 'The sea is His also,'" she quoted gently. "Besides, we may get picked up," she went on. "I'm very well off for my part, as you see. Can swim or rest floating, thanks to this blessed cork thing, and not at all hurt by tire fall from the rope. But I must get rid of my shoes and some „of my clothes, if J have to swim." . It is awkward to kick off one's shoes and divest oneself of unnecessary clothing in the water, and Agatha laughed at herself as she did it. "Not exactly a bathing suit, but this one black skirt will have to do. The other* must go. It was my skirts that "caused the mischief with the rope at first. And I was scared!" "You had a right to be." Jim helped her keep afloat, and presently he saw that, Treed from-the entanglement of so many clothes, . sh£ was as much at homo in the water as. he. Suddenly she turned to him, caught' by some recollection that almost eluded her. "I don't think wo are anywhere near the middle of the Atlantic," she said thoughtfully. James was silent, eating the bitter bread of despair, in spite of the woman's brave wish to comfort him. They were swimming slcwiy as they talked, still hoping to rench the yacht. They rose on tho breast of tho waves, paused now and then till a quieter moment came, and always kept near each other.in the pale blue darkness. "Old Sophie said something—that tampered with the At any-rlite. she said fap^ironi shore with On the Breast of the Sea. "Can you keep afloat in this roughness?" "I think so, now that I have the life preserver. But the rope scared me for a minute. It got wound about my feet." "I thought so. But we are drifting away from the boats, and should swim back as fast as we can. Can you swim?" "Yes; better when I get rid of this cloak. Which way is the yacht? I've lost my bearings." "Behind us over there. Put your hand on my shoulder and I'll take you along until you get your breath. So!" Tho girl obeyed" implicitly, "as if she were a good, biddable child," thought Jim. There was none of the terrified clutching at a rescuer which sometimes causes disaster to two instead of one. Miss Redmond was badly shocked, it may be; but she was far froni being in a panic. "Now for the boat. Can you swim a little faster?^ They'll surely come back to pick us up," said Jim, with an assumption of confidence that he did not feel. They could hear voices from the yacht, and could follow, partially, what w:as going on. Miss Redmond cast loose her cloak, put a hand on Jim's shoulder, and together they fiwara nearer. "Ahoy!" shouted Jim. "Give us a hand!" But the boat with the large woman in it had put about to the other side of the yacht. "Ahoy! This way!" shouted Jim. "Throw us a rope!" he cried; Wfl if any of the seamen of the Jeanne D'Arc heard, they paid no heed. "Come this way," said Jim to his companion. "We'll catch them on the other side of the yacht." "I can't swim much in all these clothes," said Agatha. "Never mind, then. Hold on to the life preserver and to me, and we'll make it all right." On the crests of the swelling waves they swam round the dark hulk of the vessel, and heard plainly the clamor of the men as they embarked in the small boats. Two of them seemed to be fastened together,- raftlike, on the starboard side of the yacht, and were quickly filled with men. Prayers and curses were audible, with the loose, wild inflexion of the man who is in the clutch, of an overmastering fear. As long as there had been work for them to do on the ship, they had dc^ie it, though sullenly; they had even controlled themselves until the attempt was made to place the two women in safety. But after that their selfrestraint vanished. The orders of the officers were unheeded; the men leaped and scrambled and slid into the boats, and in a minute more they had cut loose from the Jeanne D'Arc. James dimly perceived that the boats were moving away from them into the darkness. JThen he called, and called again, redoubling his speed in swimming; but only the beat of the oars came back over the water. The heart in him stood still with an unacknowledged fear. Was it "possible they were absolutely leaving them behind? Surely there were other boata. pretty bad." He raised his Voice and called agalhs[ "It was," she said simply, and again. A t last one voice, careless and brutal, called back something in reply. Jim turned questioning eyes to the girl beside him, whose pale face was discernible on the dark wa ter. "He says the boats are all full/ "Then we must hurry and mlttre for the yacht. Where is she?" The Jeanne D'Arc had slipped away from them into the darkness. "She was this way, I thought. Yes, IA&I sure," said Agatha, pointing into the night. But though they swam that way, they did not come upon her. They turned a little, and then turned again, and presently they lost every sense of direction. In all his life Jim was never again econd—longer—ho+destined~to- go—through so-black an h6ur as that which followed the abandonment of the Jeanne D'Arc. His courage left him, and his spirit sanX to that^leaden, choking abyss where lights /did not exist. Since ther Immediate object of saving the ship, for which he had worked^as hard as any other, had been given u i y i h e next in importance was to save the woman who, for some mysterious reason, had been aboard. It wae beyond his power of imagination/to suppose that any other motive o f action could posslb prevail, evenf among her enetfffes. That thpv^hquM leave her to-drown. while they themselves fled jto comparative safety in a boat, was more some one had wheel, I think, we'd never get this crew." James considered the case. "But even ^suppose we are within a mile or two, say, of the shore, could you ever swim two miles in this heavy sea?" "It is growing calmer every minute. See, I can do very well, even swimming alone. It must be near morning, too,, and' that's always a good thing." There was the shadow of a laugh in her voice. "Morning? That depends," growled Jim. He 'wa- being soothed in spite of himself, and in spite of the direfulnes of their situation. But bad as the situation was, and would be in any case, he could not <Jeny the proposition that morning and daylight would make it better. "But aren't you tired already? You must be." James turned closer to her, trying to read her face. "It was a long night of anxiety, even before we J»ft the boat. Weren't you ftightened?" "Yes, of course; but I've been getting used to frights of late, if one can get used to them." Again there was the laugh in 'her voice, under all its seriousness, even when she added: "I'm not sure that this isn't safer than being on board the Jeapne D'Arc, after a l l ! " It was characteristic of James that he forbode to take advantage of the opening this speech offered. The possible reason of her abduction, her treatment on board the yacht, her relation ' to Monsieur Chatelard—it was all a mystery, but he could not, at that moment, seek to solve it. Her remark remained unanswered for- a little time; at last he said; "Then the Jeanne D'Arc must have been while. death means? tomorrow. saylNl prokeep afloat?" she ning surge of the .waters, all,was silence. The pale forerunners of dawn had Appeared. Their swim after the boats of the Jeanne D'Arc had warmed their blood, so that for a while they were not conscious ot the chill of the water. But as the minutes lengthened, one by one, fatigue and cold numbed their bodies. It waa a test"Of endurance for a strong man; as for the girl, Jim wondered at her strength and courage. She swam superbly, wtih unhurried, steady strokes. If she grew chatteringly cold, she would start into a vigorous swim, shoulder to shoulder with James. If she lost her breath with the hard exercise, she would take his hand, "so as not to lose you," she would say, and rest on the breast of the waves.- The wind dropped and the sea grew quiet, so that they were no more cruelly buffeted, but rocked up and down on its heaving bosom. Once, while they were "resting" on the water, Agatha broke a long silence with, "I wonder—" but did not at once say what she wondered at. Jim said nothing, but she knew he was waiting and listening. "Suppose this should be the Great Gateway," she said at last, ve»y lowly, but quite cheerfully and natlrally/ "1 am wondering what there is bey oiid." "I've often wondered, too," said Jim. "I've sometimes thought, and I've said it, too, that I was crazy to die just to see what happens," Agatha 'wont on, laughing a little at her own memories.. "But I find I'm not at all eager for it, now, when it would be so easy to go under and not come up again. Are you?" "No, I've never felt eager to die; least of all, now." Agatha was silent a "What do you think Shall we be we vided we can't asked by and by. "Why, yes, I think so," said Jim "I don't know why or how, but 1 guess wo "go on'somewhere; and I rather think our best moments here—our moments of happiness or heroism, if we ever have any—are going to be the regular' thing." Jim laughed a little, partly at his own lame ending, and partly because ho felt Agatha's hand closing more tightly over his. He didn't want her to get blue just yet, after her brave figrft. But Agatha wasn't blue. She answered thoughtfully: "That isn't a bad idea." and then*cheerfully turned to a consideration of the possibilities of a rescue at dawn. Jame°s had evolved a plan to wait till enough nght came to enable tl^em to reach the Jeanne D'Arc, if she was still 1»float; then to climb aboard and hunt for provisions and life preservers or something to ,uso for a raft. If he could do this, then they would be "in a somewhat better plight, at least for a time. Ho prayed that the Jeanne D'Arc might still be afloat. The two talked little, leaving silences between them full of wonder. The details of life, the ordinary personalities, were blotted out. Without explanation or speech of any kind, they understood each other. They were not, in this hour, members of a complex and artificial society; they were not even man and woman"; they were two souls stripped of everything but the need for fortitude and sweetness, At last came the dawn. Slowly the blue curtain'of night lifted, lifted, until-'ft became the blue curtain of sky, endlessly far away and far above. A twinkling star looked down on the cup of ocean, glimmered a moment and was gone. The light strengthened. A pearly, iridescent quiver cane upon the waters, repeating itself wave after wave, and heralded the corning of the Lord Sun over the great murmuring sea. As the flight grow, they could see a constantly widening circle of ocean, of which they were the center. As they rose and fell with the waves, the horizon fell and rose to their vision, dim and undefined. Hand in hand they floated in vaporous silver. "The day has come at last, thank God!" breathed James. "Yea, thank God!" answered the girl. "Are you very cold?" "The sun will soon warm us." "Where did you learn to swim?" "In England, mostly at the Isle ofs Wight, but I'm not half such a dolphin as you are." "Oh, well, boys have to swim, you know, and I was a poy once," Jim answered awkwardly.

The main eve trouble from which children suffer is near-sightedness. T h e near-sighted child is generally at a disadvantage from the start of not being, known to he so. The child, therefore, suffers from the jeers of schoolmates and chiding by his teachers for not reading sums readily) or correctly from the blackboard. The others can see clearly and the! failures of the former are attributed to obstinacy or untruthfulness. In childhood the eves should be watched and tbe tendency to near ftightedness' or other defects be promptly and skillfully attended to.

This course will insure results highly satisfactory. There should be neither utudy nor reading except by a good light, no reading in cars or other vehicles and the sense of strain or fatigue should be relieved by rest or change of work. Growing children should, as a rule, do no evening studying.

Nowadays, however, we use soft c in the pronunciation of the above Latin words unless we are reading Latin. In the former case we Anglicize them. Both ways are considered correct, as the English and Roman pronunciations are used indiscriminately in reading Latin texts; the latter, however, predominates in such readings.

LEWIS, General Secretary of the Prison Association of New York. NEW YORK.—Suppose you were governor. You are not a believer in capital punishment, but the people of your state have voted that they want capital punishment. Four murderers are awaiting death at the Btate penitentiary. Would you commute their sentences to life imprisonment? Four men had been reprieved by Governor West of Oregon until the state could vote on the specific question of the abolition of capital punishment. When the "No" ballot outnumbered the "Yes" ballots by 20.000, the governor refused to commute the sentences. On the night before the execution, far on the Pacific coast, all night meetings were held to protest against the murder" of the four Oregon murderers. A l l over the country people waited with deep concern for the governor's decision. Now, Governor West is only one of many chief executives of our states who believe that the ancient doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is barbarous, me a personal letter Dix, dated December writes: "1 am opposed to ment. It is one of the remnants of the Biblical injunction. 'A life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, arid a hand for a hand.' We have done away with all of these except the 'life for a life,' and believe that society through the process of law should take a life for a life. To my mind the real punishment will come If the capital cases are segregated in a prison by themselves, cut off from the rest of the world, and upon conviction no interference with that sentence shall prevail." Trying Time for Governor. It is generally known that the days immediately preceding an execution are harrowing days for the conscientious governor. The last futile visits of the relatives to the only person In the world that can"save the life of the condemned, the persistent questic:. as to even the bare possibility of.innocence, the grave doubt as to whether the state should take life, the dreacj that the execution may fail to Hill speedily; In short, all the horrible de* tails of the deliberate killing of a being that the religions of civilized nations maintain is inhabited by an mmortal soul—all these things press ffpon him. "Why should I be forced to everelse the prerogative of almighty God?" asks the chief executive. I recently made an exhaustive canvass by letter of the chief executives of the states, the leading wardens and superintendents of correctional institutions and distinguished crim'i nologists as to their attitude upon the death sentence and Its execution, I wish to present some of the striking answers to that canvass today to the readers of the Sun, for to the citizens of this state will be surely brought, either during the legislative session of 1913 or soon after, the definite question "Shall capital punishment be abolished in the state of New York?" First, then, how do some of our governors feel? Gov. Marshall of Indiana writes: "I am in favor of the abolition of capital punishment." Gov. Cruce of Oklahoma is opposed to capital punishment for all crimes except criminal assaults on women. "Legal executions," he says, "are absolutely indefensible from the standpoint of Christianity and modern higher civilization. The time will come when legal murders will be as unpopular as midnight assassinations." Gov. Pothier of Rhode Island writes that capital punishment was abolished in that state forty years ago. and he is not in favor of its re-establishment. Gov. Burke of North Dakota is opposed to capital punishment, but is not sure that we have arrived at the stage of civilization when we can dispense with It altogether. Hadley for Capital Punishment. On the other hand. Gov. Hadley of Missouri say8 that he does not advocate the abolition of capital punishment. "I believe." says the governor, "our Missouri system is the best, which gives to the jury passing upon the question of guilt the right to fix the punishment at death or imprisonment In the penitentiary for life." And Gov. Baldwin of Connecticut, who personifies the judicial humane severity of attitude toward the criminal class. 1« firmly of the opinion that capital punishment should not be abolished. He writes as follows: l A s you are doubtless aware, it has been abolished in some states in for mer years where it was found necessary quite soon to reinstate "it in or der to check the spread of crime. Life imprisonment under modern con ditions in, respect of the pardoning powjeVlmd credit, for proper behavior is not life imprisonment and is not dreaded as such. Such crimes as murder and rape should be mad<> dreadful, then they will be dreaded and avoided." Gov. Mann of Virginia finds the death penalty in accordance with Scripture, ind finds no movement for its aboliion in that, state. Gov. Gilchrist of Florida. Gov. Cary of Wyoming. Gov.* ia; of Washington and Gov Osborne O N E 0 L 0 S O L D I E R R E M A I N S Governor Dix, Who Favor* the Abolition of Capital Punishment. of Michigan are other executives opposed to the abolition of capital punishment. Now where shall we stand on this question? Let us go first for the answer to those men who have dealt with prison populations, men in the service of the state and recognized by the American Prison association are just and progressive. First, as to those who believe in capital punishment, WTard^n Sale of the state prison of North Carolina writes as follows: "Persons of criminal tendency, and who would not hesitate to commit high crime, would be less deterred from doing bo if they knew that they would only receive a 3. Too many chances exist of the murderer's freedom through physical escape, favoritism, parole or pardon. 4. Capital punishment should be reserved at least for the most brutal murders. 5. There is no other adequate penalty. Against the Death Penalty. Let us now turn to the arguments against the death penalty. Two prominent men in the field of penology and criminology have presented their arguments systematically. First. Warden Wolfepvfor many years head of the Minnesota State penitentiary, writes: "I am and always have been opa e me. life sentence.- L-beileve- that to abol- ' posed-1*) xrapital punish ment for- Jthe ish capital punishment would tend to I following reasons: "1. Because T ¢0 not believe that capital punishment is Jn harmony with and abreast of the best thought of modern civilization. "2 Because it seems wrong for the state in every sense to take what it cannot give. "3. Because human life is the prerogative of Divine Providence. God alone can give it and he alone in his divine wisdom has the right to take it away. "4. Because 1 hat capital :ed of Severity. "The individual who would stealinto the home at midnight or entice the innocent into dens of vice and destroy that which he cant give is unfit to live in any community and should therefore pay the penalty by forfeiting his life. The murderous, dangerous criminal who after his commitment to the prison becomes sullen and morose, refuses to obey rules and regulations and upon whom punishment has to be meted out in order to secure f from him a partial obedience to the \ rules grows under these circumstances | worse, becomes desperate and would take any chance to effect his escape, even if it were necessary secretly to take the life of his keeper, for he knows that there ie no greater punishment than the life sentence, and hence would not mind commiting any crime that would secure to him liberty or revenge for an imaginary worng. Not only would the lives of keepers be endangered but those of inmates as well." Some of the many prison officials who fear the evil effects of the abolition of capital punismment write thus: Fesars Increase of Lynchlngs. M. L. Brown, warden of the West Virginia penitentiary: "Human life would be rendered less secure, and lynchings would increase." Otis Fuller, superintendent of the Michigan reformatory: "1 favor capital punishment in extreme cases, especially where murder was committed in attempting highway robbery, burglary, safeblowing, rape and such crimes as that, but I would leave0 to the majority , vote of the jury the infliction of the extreme penalty. There have been many brutal murders in Michigan in the last ten years where it appeared to me that capital punishment was the only legitimate penalty. These murderers may'escape and may subsequently be pardoned or paroled, and again become menaces to the same society they have outraged." Governor Dix haB recommended the same punishment i i * lieu of death. Zebulon R. Brockway, for a score of years the head of the Elmira Reformatory, is quoted as having recently said: "I believe that there BhoulJ be a larg*r~ftentrally located Federal prison/ or Wprison under Fe&eral control, i n ' wtrflh all life prisoners erf the United ^States should be incarcerated. T believe that the laws should be so framed that the civic life of a murderer could be terminated. This should be accomplished by obliterating their identity. They should be known only by numbers. They should be kept in ignorance of the outside world. They should be allowed to see no visitors'and. none save Federal inspectors should be allowed to see them. It should not be known when they die " What then. in.summing up the arguments so far, have been the main points raised in favor of capital punishment? Seemingly the following: 1. Death is a greater deterrent than the fear of imprisonment. v 2. Our civilization, has not progressed to the point where we can most severe penalty. statistic? do not show punishment prevents homicides. "!). because the whole scheme of punishment should carry with It a chance for repentance and reform, whether the offender is ever released from prison or not." .The leading criminologist in this country is probably Prof. Charles R Henderson of the University of Chi cago. He is the American representative on tfie International Prison Commission, composed of representatives of all civilized nations. Dr. Henderson puts his reasons thus: "I am opposed to capital punishment, because: 1. It too often serves- revenge. 2. Not needed for the protection of society. 3. Occasionally is inflicted the guiltless. 4. Is irreparable. 5. Tends to increase brutality and murder. G. Diverts attention from preventive policies." W7hich brings us to the question, is the murderer the chief factor to consider? In the protection of society from crime, is the example of the punished murderer of greater value as, a deterrent than the possible reformation of the individual. Hanging Not a Deterrent. I have a letter from Warden Hoyle of San Quentin prison. California, written recently, in which he says: 'I think it is generally believed that the death penalty has not materially lessened the number of murders committed in this state." In conclusion I would list the states which on my recent canvass I found were without the death penalty: Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin. From the following states were received reports of agitation toward the abolition of capital punishment: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Massachusetts, Ohio, Oregon, Washington. Where capital punishment has been abolished the general disposition seems to be not to restore it. Where it still exists many states seem well satisfied; many others restless. The great public of the state of New York is the Jury. What shall the verdict.be? Execution? Perpetual imprisonment? Imprisonment^ with some hope of pardon or parole? Colonel John Lincoln Clem, Who En listed at Age of Ten Years, .Still in Service. *> (By DR. A XDERS DO E.I More than 1,500,000 re en took part, oft the side of the north in the great' American Civil war from 1861 to- 1865. They are all now out of activeservice, having fallen before the age limit. One only is left, and that one is Col. John Lincoln Clem, first quartermaster of the central division of the United States army, with headquarters at Chicago. The American Civil, war has been called a "boy-war," on account of the extraordinary number of youths, ranging In ages from fourteen Ho twenty years, that had joined the army. Of all these "Johnny" Clem was the youngest. He was ten years old when he left his home in Newark, 0., and presented himself for feervice as a drummer boy. He was so little tbat he was chased away, and was given a box on the ear when he came back home. But Johnny would not stay away. He always came back, and in the bloody battle of Sbllob we find him as drummer boy at the front of the regiment — the Twenty-second Michigan. \ Then toojc place the battle of Chickamauga, one of the bloodiest battles of history. It was here that tbe Norweigian regiment, the Fifteenth Wisconsin, of which all Norwegians in America are proud, was almost completely annihilated, and its leader, Col. Hans Heg£ (born in Lier. Norwayl. found 'a hero's death. On the day following he was to have been promoted to the post of brigadier general. Here-Johnny Clem was at the fronts as usual, and got the name, "the Drummer Boy of Chickaraauga," a name by which he is known up to the present day. A shell struck the drum from his hands, shattering it, kind Johnny Bat down and cried. But te could not long sit quiet, while ihe battle was going on-all around him, so he took, ^a—gun from a ~de~atT "soldier aJi(L,co.ni=__ menced firing. On came the Confederates storming, and when they saw Johnny Clem with the gun they burst out laughing, but .lohnny took aim and1 killed the leader. They took Johnny Clem and gave him a spanking, put him on horseback and rode off with him. Like a prairie fire the news spread that Johnny was captured, and the whole regiment started in pursuit, soon coming back carrying Johnny with" them in triumph. The battle was won, and when the troops were inspected, the general called Johnny and asked him what had become of his drum. Johnny told him it had been struck by a shell. "Johnny." said the general, 'any one who cannot take care of his drum cannot be a drummer any longer." Johnny cried. "But," added the general, "from now on you will be sergeant with the regiment." 4 Jqhnny went through the whole war and the day peace was concluded he looked upon as a dreary day. He was a "veteran" with medals and honorary diplomas when he was fourteen years old. I visited Colonel Clem at his office and presented myself as the correspondent of the Aftenposten (Christiania, Norway). The colonel is courteous and genial. He is broadshouldered and well proportioned, with a sprinkling of gray and a charming smile. "Yes, I am the last of the veterans." said he. "I am now sixty-one years old, and in three years I shall also fall before the age limit. • "Yes, I remember well Col. Hans Hegg. He was the leader of the Norwegians and their ideal. He was held in high' esteem and so was the Fifteenth Wisconsin. While only a boy at that time I remember it as if it was yesterday. They went into the battle as to a play, and Tery few came back. The Fifteenth Wisconsin marched in front, exposed to the? murderous fire, and thus bore the brunt of the battle." /t ^ I then asked if he would gjve me a message for the land of Colonel Hegg, whereupon he sat down and wrote the following greeting to Norway: * "It recalls to my memory the days of my youth when f think of the brave Norwegian, Hans Hegg of the 'Fifteenth ' Wlsconaftu regiment, and his honorable death at Chickamauga. He would no doubt have been promoted tbe day following if he had not found a hero's death.

T R U T H A B O U T T H E C A S E T h e Experiences o f M . F . Goron, $x~Chief of tbe P a r i s Detective Police » Edited by Albert Keyzer A D R A M A T I C H O L I D A Y (.Copyright by J. B. Uppineott Co.) •HILE I was chief of the detective police I remember to have taken but few holidays. Many a time had I packed my spending a week or a fortnight in a secluded Bpot among peaceable citizens, but somehow or other fate ordained that the train that was to carry me away should start, leaving me and my lug- , gage behind. "One of these days you will collapse/' my friends used to say, and, like all evil predictions, theirs came true. I had been ' fearfully busy. There had been an avalanche of crimes, and the strain had begun to tell on me, to an obligato accompaniment of headache, sleeplessness, and other unpleasant symptoms. With a mistaken sense of duty I tried to cling to my post, J>ut when I saw I had the medical faculty against me, I gave up the battle and promised to take a rest. The following day. as I was walking down the Rue de la Paix a voice like thunder called out my name. I did not see the man, but I knew that in the whole of Prance only one person possessed such an organ—my old friend Stanislas Tilon, a captain in the merchant, navy. Good old Stanislas, who stood six feet three, had not only a tremendous voice—everything with him was big. He seized both my hands in his lion grip, and, having knocked my stick out of my hand, and my hat off my head, he conducted, or rather dragged, me to the Cafe d© la Paix. "Fancy meeting you!" he roared. "I, came back on Tuesday last, and am off again the day after tomorrow. But what's the matter with you? You look out of sorts.'* 4 > the fact is," I said, *T am not very _ well, The _dnct<U3-#ajr^~-m ust ta ke A holiday." — Down came Stanislas' fist, upsetting all the dominoes on the table next to ours. "You want a thorough holiday? I'll give you one. , You may bless your etars you met me. We are running a regular line1 of steamers from Bor~ deaux to St. Louis, on the African coast, stopping at Madeira and Teneriffe. They are capital boats, carrying only a small number of passengers. 1 am in command of the Gambia, the most comfortable of the lot. You'll be my guest, and the sea will put you right in no time. We are going only as far as T-eneriffe, so that you will be back in three weeks. I'll give you one of the two deck cabins, and you'll be as happy there as a king. We have a splendid cook, and as nice a lot of passengers as yju'd wish to meet." Stanislas' proposition tempted me. My shaken nerves Clamored for a rest such as I knew I should find on the high seas! and, after a few objections, immediately overruled by my friend, 1 accepted his invitation. The following day at two in the afternoon I arrived at Bordeaux, and went straight on board. Stanislas welcomed me with unaffected joy, and after an excited and whispered discussion between him and the steward, the latter took my valise to the deck cabin on the starboard side. The rain was coming down in torrents as I descended, to the saloon to join my shipmates. Several persons were sitting at the long tables, some writing, others reading, and I noticed one, a pronounced German type—his name was Von Winter — drinking champagne and playing solitaire. Before the dinner hour had struck Stanislas had introduced me to everybody. Besides Von Winter there were M. Van Vloot, a rich wine importer, with an aquiline nose* and the shortest legs I have ever seen belonging to a man of his size, and his wife, a stout lady, afflicted with toothache; Mr. Aylmer Knowles, a Scotchman with an expressionless face, accompanied bis wife and daughter, the f l a t t e r an unusually pretty girl; Father IMlass, a priest; Monsieur Waskywicz, of no nationality, with comic eyes, fat cheeks, blue with the razor, who turned out to be a comedian; Dr. Lopez, tfn oculist; and Senor Gonzales, a South American Spaniard, a handsome, aristocratic looking man, whose temper seemed to be considerably ruffled. I guessed that our loquacious captain had been talking about me, for not 'only the passengers watched me with curiosity, but the crew stared at me open-mouthed; As there-was a piano in the saloon, and none in the smoking room, I decided to make the latter my headquarter^ "Hallo, old chap/roared Stanislas. "How do you like your hotel? When* do you want to sit at table? Near that pretty Scotch girl, I suppose." '•Since you ask me," I replied, "you can place me between the German and the lady with tbe toothache. Neither of them looks talkative, and that Jvst suits me." "Poor Goron," said Gmy friend, giving m e , a slap on the shoulder that sent my hook overboard, "wait a couple of days, and you'll see the good the breeze will do you. "It looks like clearing up," I remarked, for tbe rain had stopped. "Don't build on that, sonny. The gla^s has tumbled, and I expect after midnight we'll have a fine dance. They'll all be i n bed by that time, 1 hope." Stanislas had given me the seat of honor at the table, on his right, but he was too busy to put in an appearance. On my other side was Senor •Gonzales, still very upset, and growling to the steward something I could not hear about his cabin. * The German, who kept on drinking champagne, was the first to address me, with the question: "Do you play poker?" "I never gamble. Why do you ask?" "Because we might have a game in the smoking room tonight. I thought perhaps you'd like to join." "I will join you in a smoke," I said, "but not in the game. I never play." "I'm awfully fond of a spin at poker," put in M. Van Vloot, "and so is Becky, if her tooth does not worry her. How is your tooth, Becky?" "Thank you, Sol, I feel much better. I dare say a little game would just put me right. And I don't mind the smoke." * e Mr. Knowles, who had not opened his lipB at dinner, remarked in a rasping voice: " A sea trip without poker is like a dog without a tail. I'll play, too." "I'll also take a hand," said Mr. Lopez. "I gamble on principle," grunted the comedian; "it's the only principle 1 have,"..a joke which sent Mme. Van Vloot into a fit of imbecile laughter. As soon as dinner was over there was, a general rush for the smoking room, and in the saloon remained onjy the priest and Mrs. Knowles, dozing in their chairs; and Miss Knowles, a book on her lap, deep in thought, wit& a smile, on lifer pretty face. —For a lung time " i paced the decK" enjoying the fresh air and the stillness around me, and having wished Stanislas good night, I decided to turn in, when curiosity, prompted me to see how the gamblersr-were getting on. -Mme. Van Vloot was standing in the door of the smoking room, very much out of temper., "Don't you play?" I asked. . "I have played," she replied in a solemn tone, "and I have ..lost my money. And so has Sol, and so has that German gentleman, and so has Mr. Knowles, and so has the actor wi;h the funny name. We have all lost our money. Senor Gonzales has raked it all in. What luck that man has! 1 never saw anything like it." As I entered the room Gonzales pp.ssed me. i l e was tired, he said, and wanted to go to rest. I saw the other players looking at one another, and the atmosphere seemed charged with voiceless currents of thought. •"He cleared us out very nicely," at last remarked Mr. Knowles. "He did," repeated the others in chorus. "I'll tell you what I think—" began Van Vloot in an excited Hone. "You needn't express your thoughts,' cut in Mr. Knowles, "for we all think the same thing. As for me, I don't intend to play again with that gentleman; and I wish you all pleasant dreams." I was beginning to feel more contented. Our old steamer was not so black as she was painted, and beneath her somewhat fresh exterior she hid a few sterling qualities in the way of comfort. I lit another cigarette and resumed my walk. But a change had come over the weather. It was blowing very hard, and the waves rolled in mountains under a sky of lead. In less than a quarter of an hour a gale broke, and heavy seas swamped the deck. "You'd better turn in," said the first officer, "it will get worse during the night." I followed bis advice, although sleep was out of the question. The wind howled and the water crashed against the side of the steamer with a deafening noise. It was anything but soothing to the nerves. Toward five in the morning I dozed off, and may have slept for half an taffitf, when I was roughly shaken and some one called out my name. I felt the wind blow on me through the open door, and there stood Stanislas with the first officer behind him. "Come at once," shouted the captain, "we want you!" Having forced me Into my trousers and coat, he took me to the cabin on he-portnstde, facingraThe7 The storm had abated, but there was still a heavy sea, and Stanislas gripped my arm to steady me. The steward stood outside as if on guard. Stanislas pushed him aside, opened the door, and said: "Look at that!" I recoiled with horror. The cabin was bespattered with blood. "Great heavens! Whose berth Is this•?",! asked. "Gonzales'," replied Stanislas. "But where is he?" •"We can't find a trace of him..,.An hour ago the steward, fancying he heard him call, opened the door and nearly dropped with fright, l i e at once came to me, and, while I sent him to every cabin to account for the passengers, I mustered the crew. Only poor Gonzales is missing. Do you mind helping me in this business, Goron? I am so distressed 1 do not know what course to take?" " A H right, old chap," I said; "I did not come here to hunt criminals, but I will do what I can." I made a careful examination of everything in the cabin. Gonzales* watch was on a small shelf near the bed, on the top of some bank notes and gold—probably his winnings of the night before. A pocket book stuffed ^with notes was lying next to it, also his scarf, in which a valuable diamond pin was stuck. "Did Gonzales -not have a big gray ulster?" I asked. "Yes, he had," replied my friend, "and I do not see it here. "I'll have a search made for it; and if it is gone, it will be rather strange." "No, not so strange as you think," I said. "I fancy I can account for its absence." "What is it?" cried Stanislas excitedly. "What do you make oi it?" "You will know that in a moment. You must now take all the valuables and seal them up. In the meanwhile I will stay here and make a closer inspection." When everything had been removed from the cabin and the door locked, I said: "And now I want to, look at the crew." At my request every man stripped to the waist, but although I' carefully examined their arms and necks, I could not detect the slightest scratch or bruise of recent date. ."Nor, when I overhauled every article of clothing and linen they possesed, did I find any blood stains. At their own request I subjected the officers to thesame treatment I next questioned the of- When I came in I beheld a curious ] cabin, Stanislas expressed his oplnspectacle. Mme. V a n Vloot lay in a swoon on the sofa, and her husband was holding a smelling-bottle to her nose. A l l looked terror-stricken, ana they all sat apart eyeing one another with suspicion. Stanislas stood erect at the head of the fiible, and had just lett'TDff speaking. A ujlence fell upon the assembly when they saw me, and Mr. Knowles said: "M. Goron, the captain has told us of the awful catastrophe that happened in the night, and he has informed us you have kindly consented to give him the benefit of your experience to inatfrre into the matter be fore we reach Madeira. We are anxious to give you all the assistance we can." I then questioned them all in turn; but they knew nothing. With the exception of Von Winter none of the passengers had left their cabins during the night. As to the latter, he stated that a L J w o in the morning, feeling very hot, he had stood for a ! while on the stairs leading to the saloon, without having seen or heard anything suspicious. Half an hour later, as I went toward the smoking room, one of the sailors asked me to come to the captain's cabin. I found Lopez there. " M . Lopez," said Stanislas, "wishes to ask you something." " M . Goron," began Lopez, "did Von Winter mention to you a violent discussion he had with M. Gonzales after the game?" "No, he did not." "When I went to bed Von Winter was alone in the saloon reading. I was just beginning to undress when I heard- a noise of people quarreling. I opened my door, walked .toward the saloon, and saw Von Winter gesticulating, apparently in a great rage. I listened, but could not catch a word they said. It lasted only a minute or perron I with the that tracK Why do ion that the case against the German looked suspicious. "Do you mean to tell me seriously/' I asked, "that you suspect Von Winter?" "I say he was the first thought of in connection crime; and by following we might get the truth, you look so surprised?' "Because you make light of the most important feature of this cane. You may knock out of your head the idea that Von Winter played a part in that awful drama. J cannot prevent our passengers from finding him guilty, but, fortunately for himrthey cannot hang him. I have done some reconnoitering, and have come to a strange, yet conceivable conclusion. I think I have found my way to the mystery, but the key is missing." The steward, happening to come in, told us for the fifth time how, when at four that rooming he brought thecap- .tain his coffee, he fancied he heard some one call out, which caused him to look into Gonzales' cabin. A thought suddenly struck me. "Steward," said I, "I heard M. Gonzales whisper something to you about his cabin, and he seamed upset. What did he want of you?" The steward silently glanced at the captain. , "It is all right," said the latter to him; "you eah go on. 1 will explain the case to M. Goron." ''Goron," he stammered, "I am sorry you found that out The truth is I had a little trouble with Gonzales, and you were the innocent cause of it. A few months ago when Gonzales traveled with me on this steamer he bad the starboard cabin, and he booked it again this time. Yesterday afternoon I saw the glass fall rapidly, and not knowing, how long the bad weather might last,'I ordered the steward, "Yes, I suspected a certain p e r m , from the Tory start ,£ut It is getting late, and, for luany reasons, it would, be unwise for me to act tonight ,fsV morrow morni*^ j will bring tho C«t* prit before you "You don't flunk I'll let you sleep t » your cabin tonight!'' exclaimed Stan* islas. "You ii share mine." Knowing A would be useless to 'a*** gue with him, 1 pave in. BefoKe* retiring to rest I went to the saloon tc» see bow the passengers were getting on, and could hardly repress a sniilft. They had organized a kind of vigilance coruiLitfee and two of them watched in 1 urns, with special Injunctions to keep t i i eye on Von Win* ter, "And now/ ' l said to my friend tha next mornmg, "we will reconstruct; the drama and take action.

Nobody had seen or heard anything suspicious. "What do you make of it?" I asked Stanislas. "Some of the facts are plain enough. Gonzales' throat was cut with a sharp instrument—probably a razor. He was lying on his right side, with his face to the wall. There was no struggle. Had there been any in that narrow space, the objects lying about would have been disturbed." At that moment the steward came to tell us that the ulster had not been found." "I expected this," I said. "The murderer, to prevent himself being blood-stained, took the precaution of wrapping the body in the* ulster before pitching it overboard. The dark night, and the sea washing the deck during the gale helped him in his work." "Have you heard of the scene at JPokeiL last j ^ h t ^ " _ ^ y _ X r J ^ n d ^udden^ ly asked. , "I have.

"I will finish dressing," I'said; "and in the meantime' you can have a talk with the passengers. 1 dare say they all know by now what has .happened. I will join you in the saloon.", were bending5 walk e n g i n e e r away else, refer to so, -and I saw Gonzales shrugging his shoulders "Did you, or any one this to Von Winter?" "No. He is very reserved, in fart rather unsociable; and since he came I on board he has hardly conversed with any one." I went, in search of the German, and found him smoking his pipe right aft "You had.'M said, "a dispute with Gonzales last night. How is it you never mentioned this to me?" He turned red, bit his lip, and then said: "I ought to have told you, but I was ashamed to do so. I played like a fool, and lost a lot of money—more than T can afford. I then had an idea —and the others had It, too—that M. Gonzales had—well, not played a fair game. I was too annoyed to go to bed, and sat alone in the saloon reading, when he walked in. I am sorry to say my temper got the better of me, and I accused hJm of having cheated, whereupon he flew into-a fearful rage, called me a scoundrel, and said he would have the matter out with me this morning. You can imagine how I was shocked when I heard what had occurred. I suppose this story has by now gone the round of the steamer, and to juilge from the way my fellow passengers look at me, they have settled among themselves that it is I who murdered M. Gonzales. I shall remember this trip!" And, without waiting .for what. I might have to say, he replaced his pipe between his lips and resumed his walk. Von Winter's,last statement proved correct. J t e was boycotted, .and when after dinner I went to the captain's i friend, as you were my guest, to give you that cabin, where you would be more comfortable. I forbade him to -mention this to you, and made him explain to Gonzales that a mistake had been made, and that this cabin had been retained by you long in t'dvance. Gonzales was very much annoyed." "You double-banned idiot!" I phoutod. "Why did you conceal this from me?" "Goron—I say—" gasped Stanislas. "Great heavens! To think that of all people, you, Stanislas, should have been walking about with the key of the mystery in your pocket It seems fantastic!" "I—had—the—" "Yes, you have been playing the fool's part in this affair. How long befote I came on board did you do that shuffling of cabin.*?" "About an hour, I s':r.uM say, and—" "And everybody on board knew the day before that your friend Goron had the cabin on the port side?" "Most likely, but—" - He stopped, stared at me wildly for a few secondB, and caught both my hands. "Goron, my dear old friend," cried, with a sob in his voice, what you are hinting a t It horrible to be true." "I see you have grasped my ory.'' I said. "Yes, Stanislas, it was I whom .the murderer had marked out, and your changing those cabins prob- | ably saved my life. Rut at what a price!" For. a while we snt in silence.

O. PLTJMMER.) From early times there has been a belief that certain trees more than others are likely to be struck by lightning. The elder Pliny said: "Lightning never strikes the laurel." This tree was also called bay, and wreaths of its leaves were worn by ancient rulers both as a symbol of victory and a3 a protection from the lightning of the gods. Seneca and Plutarch held a similar belief, which may be traced down even to modern times, but the theory as now held includes a number of trees, different in various countries. This belief was so firmly established that such trees as the beech, locust, holly, olive, walnut, birch, elder, mistletoe and live-for-ever, supposed to be effective in warding off lightning, were placed near dwellings. To this day there are many who -sttH-Hmstst-trrat" the"" beech Is never struck, while in parts of the United States th© aspen is considered immune from lightning. On the other hand, it was believed that such trees as the oaks, particularly cerk oak, had a very bad reputition for attracting lightning, and this belief prevails even now. There is a proverb: "Avoid the oak, flee from the spruce, but seek the beech." And also: "Beware tho oak, it draws the stroke. Avoid the ash, it courts the flash. Creep under the thorn, 'twill save from harm." Natives of South Africa have said regarding the-mepane tree, which is often struck, "Lightning hates it;" but they say that the morala tree is never touched. The Portuguese share this belief. There was once a widespread belief in Europe that conifers were almost immune from lightning, but records Yellow Pine, Arizona, Completely Shattered by Lightning. made there showed that conifers rank third in liability to stroke. The persistent popular belief regarding immunity of some trees and liability of others have given rise to the following theories regarding trees most likely to be struck; 1. Tall trees: Because they reach high toward the electrically charged cloud, and therefore lessen the distance with the flash must traverse through the dielectric (air). Such trees are conceived to be a part of the earth, extending upward and inviting the stroke. 2. Trees with pointed crowns: Because they invite, to their one apex, ^ single full-pressure, flash. Trees with rounded crowns, favor the diffusion of the flash into a spray. - &r Trees with^olatecr4eavesi7^ecause static electricity jumps/ most easily to and from pointed terminals. 4. Trees with smooth/or shiny leaves: Because a smooth surface Invites flashes, while a hairy or woolly surface,«presenting ^multitude of fine points, favors diffrielon. 5. Trees wit^deeply grooved bark: Because barx deeply grooved longitudinally guides^he current to the groundV/and because the moist sapwoocLrs close to the surface in the bottoms of the Assures. . . % > / 6 . Tree$ isolated; Because they are the only marks for the flash and nre conductors. 7. Trees on high ground: Because they are nearest to the storm jeloud strata. 8. Trees on damp soil: Because the moisture makes a good contact between the tree and the earth. 0. Trees deeply rooted: Because the long roots give a better grounding and finish a more direct path to deeper and moister earth strata. 10. Trees with dead branches: Because they present alluring points. 11. Trees whose wood has high electric conductivity: Because the flash will select the path of least resistance. 12. Trees whose tissues are composed mostly of longitudinally arranged fibers and other elements: Because this arrangement would favor the transmission of the electric current. 1 X Trees TlchjjL starch: Because starches and sugars are better conductors than oils, resins and waxes. But .years'of careful study and experimenting show that any kind of tree is likely to be struck by lightning, v In tomperate climates thunderstorms, with lightning, occur most commonly during the summer usually in the afternoon. In the United States they are four or five times as frequent east of the Rocky mountains &3 west, omitting from consideration parts of Arizona and New Mexico. This is due, as explained later, to the generally mountainous condition of the west. Lightning is most frequent in Florida and Illinois. In Cuba severe thunderstorms are frequent, and trees are often struck and killed. The pine only is reported ignited. Lightning is extremely rare in Alaska, and no forest fires are known to have resulted from it. It does not follow that the trees most liable to ignition by lightning are the ones most responsible for forest fires. WhHle in general one species may be more inflammable than another, the degree of inflammability varies with the locality and season. The tree most often struck and ignited in the west is the western yellow pine, which grows in open, park-like stands, where tho fire hazard is small. A tree may be set on fire by lightning and burn for days without the flames spreading to other trees or to the ground, and if the latter be free from litter, as is often the case in western yellow pine forests, the chances of the fire spreading are small. It is probable that the majority of forest fires caused by lightning striking trees is due to the presence of dry duff, humus or litter at the base of the tree. Another possibility is that some forest fires are started by lightning striking the ground and igniting the soil cover.

Some years ago a then well-known writer condemned the use of oyster shell as a food for, furnishing lime so necessary in the construction of egg shell. His contention was that the oyster shell did not contribute lime sufficient for that purpose. However, the New York agricultural experiment station has vetoed that by proving that a pound of oyster shell con tarns sufficient lime to manufacture about seven dozens of eggs. The proper way to feed Oyster shel is to have a small box of ft within reach so the fowls may help them selves at will. Mixing it in the morning mash is risky, as there is a likelihood that the hens will consurm more .than is required, and in conse quence tho shells of the eggs woulc become too hard; Tho hens know best when their system demands more lime. It is a/very rare case when a hen gets too much If constantly within reach. Rich Y o u n g B a c h e l o r R e g a i n s H e a l t h and F i n d s a Wife at S t r a n g e R e s o r t . By W A L T E R JOSEPH D E L A N E Y . "Lungs inactive, heart insipid, brain torpid," reported Dr. Pftiletus Derringer, and he tapped his patient, Thomas Maltby, three times and made a mental note of a fifty dollar bill for his advice. "Humph L" observed the wealthy old bachelor—"generally lazy*, eh?" "Worse than laziness, my friend," responded the notable physician gravely. "Your late suppers, lack of exercise and indolent ways generally have stored your system with poisons." "Then get rid of them,** suggested Thomas. "Nothing but exercise will do that," was the serious response. "I do not wish to alarm you, Mr. Maltby, but if you want to shorten your life twenty years just keep on in the idle, useless career you are now living." Thomas Maltby's face shadowed a trifle. No one realized more fully than himself that his life was profitless and wasted. He was the bestnatured, best-hearted fellow in the world, but he had money and no definite aim in the world. A good many times of late his head had grown dizzy and there had been twinges of the gout. Then he had got so he could not go to sleep without the aid of a sedative. Functionally he was still all right, the doctor said, but his little ailments were warnings he must attend to. * "You speak of exercise, doctor," said Thomas. "What do you mean— golf, walking, baths, dieting?" "They all help, but you need additionally a spur, changed conditions. Get your mind clear as well as your body. See here, did you ever hear of Prof. Septimus Gregg and his great 'youthful reorganization' system?" "I never did," confessed Thomas. "Well, one month in his hands and you are pretty nearly born again. Then if you go back to your old ground. W£en he got hungry, he went arouqeVjQ tljjej kitchen aa4 was! given & greats slice of bread • and butter.; By nightfall he' had really got interested in games of marbles, and ran himself out of breath chasing a runaway kite. "It's great!" he chuckled, as he rolled onto the trundle bed that night, healthily tired out for the first time in ten years. Inside of a week Thomas Maltby had forgotten the club, late dinners and his automobile. The "boys" went fishing, swimming. They played one old cat, mumblety-peg, hi-spy. They got up big healthy appetites. , Thomas cherished two "mibs," a glass alley and a "falsie" agate with more pride that, he had a ¢1,000 profit on the stock exchange. "It's famous,'' he told an august comrade, an astronomical student, foi the time being a frisky, delighted lad. "No more dizzy spells; I can run like a whitehead and eat—why, that molasses cake and those flapjacks take me back 30 years and make life worth living." On one side of the resort was a high brick wall. Strolling near it one day Thomas caught a tennis ball, that came over its top. Therev were feminine cries of distress. Then a ladder top appeared. Peering over it was a fair, mischievous face, half hidden in a quaint childish sunbonnet. "Do you see the ball, Mattie?" asked a voice below. "Here, you, boy," called out the roguish Mattie to the 'astonished Thomas—"toss that lost ball over here, will you?" Then Thomas found out that the brick wall enclosed the domain of Mrs. Prof. Gregg, who superintended the "girls' department" of the juvenile rejuvenation system. He got to thinking constantly of Mattie. One day he climbed a tree to view over the fence half a dozen " l i t i s " attired in L E T GOOD* CHANC E GO B Y »_->. ^^^^^^^^ ^a^^mm^x^ Bluffcra Had Perfect Right to Be Mad, Considering the Extremely Unfortunate Circumstances. Bluffers bounced into the club, jammed his hat down on a table with a fierce, resounding bang, and flung himself into an easy chair. "What's wrong today, bluffers? You look bad." "I'll never forgive myself. I kicked a man out of my house last night!" "Humph! I've kicked out many a one. Young fellow, I suppose?" "No; past middle age:" "Well, these old codgers have no business to be coming round courting young girls. I would have kicked him out myself/' "Yes, but I have found out since that this man wasn't courting my daughter. He was after my motherin- law." E C Z E M A C A M E O N S C A L P Lebanon, O.—"My eczema started on my thigh with a small pimple. It also came on my scalp. It began to Itch and I began to scratch. For eighteen or twenty years I could not tell what I passed through with that awful itching. I would scratch until the blood would soak through my underwear, and I couldn't talk to my friends on the street but I would be digging and punching that spot, until I was very much ashamed. The itching was so intense I could not sleep after once in bed and Varm. I certainly suffered torment with that%eczema for many years. "I chased after everything I ever heard of, but all to no avail. I saw tbe advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample.

Thomas hovered many a time outside the walls of that feminine paradise. He got to writing poetry. Once he saw "his Mattie" through a barred gate. HeT flushed like a conscious schoolboy. She smiled bewitchinglyand waved her pretty, slender hand at him in a girlish, tantalizing way. "They have a regular party here once a month," a "boy" friend told Thomas next day. "There is music, dancing anci a supper." "Ladies, too?" inquired Thomas hopefully. "Yes, Mrs. Professor Gregg and her -^cit7-=J Th^-tH^^e-aags for tonight, "Here, You Boy!" regime you're past hope. Want to try him?" "You advise it?" "Strongly." " A l l right then," said Thomas. "You will come back with j y o u r youth renewed. Then, if you take my advice, get married and home life will do the rest." Thus it was that two mornings later Thomas Maltby was introduced to Prof. Septimus Gregg at the doctor's office. He found the latter to be a great, fierce, bearish old fellow. "Tommy Maltby, eh?" he spoke. "Well, Tommy, if you're ready, toddle along with me. I've a few purchases to make and you can carry the bundles." Thomas stared. He got ready to resent such familiarity.. Then he remembered that the doctor had told him that the professor was an eccentric, and had exacted a promise that he would obey his directions to the smallest detail. Thomas'stared still more strangely as the professor entered a department store and purchased: (1) half a dozen shoefly kites; (2)1 as many humming tops; (3) a dozen ' ags of marbles; (4) a box of bubble pipes. "You must have a lot of children to provide for, professor?" ventured Thomas. "H'm! you'll soon find out," was the gruff rejoinder.. When they reached a walled-in country place at noon that day, Thomas Maltby wondered if he had entered an asylum. A dozen men as old or older than himself greeted their arrival boisterously, Some of them Were barefooted. A l l of them wore knickerbockers. They capered around like boys on a vacation. Eagerly they scrambled for the doctor's purchases. Then they hooted and frisked about like mere kids. They played marbles, blew bubbles, spun tops, flew kites. "Now then, make believe you're a boy again. Forget everything for one month but just that," said the professor, and Thomas was escorted to a room with a trundle bed, and emerged from It wearing a juvenile costume like, the others. Thomas grinned and then laughed outright as lie fcot ohtb the scheme. He was to play boy for a month. Ha was hailed as "Tom" on the playyou know. .Very formal and dighT fied." Thomas never enjoyed himself as he did at the function announced. There were friendly introductions and a pleasant time all around. Despite the conventionalities, however, ruddy cheeks, the glow of health, gay boy and girl laughter made the affair delightful. Of course Thomas met Mattie. She was a city stenographer who had taken the cure, to come out bright and vivacious and restored to health. When Thomas returned to the city he sought her out. lie called on her twice, but only had he to tell her his love to win her complete acceptance of his suit. Returned from a year's tour of Europe, one day Dr. Philetus Derringer chanced to meet Thomas. The latter, smiling, brisk and happy, hailed him with a healthy handshake that made the physician wince. "It is plain to see lhat you took the juvenile cure," said the doctor. "Yes, and won a splendid wife and a comfortable home through it all," declared Thomas. "We live next door to a glorious family with 11 children, and we're all just like kids. Going home now to fly kites for them." ( "You have certainly solved the | great problem of health and happii ness," proclaimed the delighted doc- •tor. PROPER WORD. "Is aviation expensive?" N "Yes, the upkeep is quite consider^ able."

The Balkan allies, after considering the whole situation among themselves decided to wait until the middle of next week for the answer of the Porte to the joint note of the powers, and if then the teply was not received or was unsatisfactory, to address^ a:*T>Gommunication to the Turkish delegation in the form of a definite ultimaSrf; allowing Turkey 48 to 72 hours for a final decision. Should Turkey at that time be unable or unwilling to come to the allies terms, the Balkan plenipotentiaries decided that a rupture of the peace conference was inevitable. Sofia. Belgrade and -Cettinje would denounce the armistice and four days later the war would be resumed. All Support Bulgaria. Tbe allies do not admit, or to be more exact, do not see the possibility of such proposals from Turkey or the powers as would allow of a resumption of negotiations, unless the Porte openly declared its readiness to give up Adrianople. So far, the instructions of the Bulgarian delegates do not admit of a discussion'of a proposal that Turkey retain Adrianople, even "dismantling the fortifications or conditions of peace leaving the question of Adrianople to be disposed of "last;— ARCHBALD IS GUILTY Senate Holds Commerce Court Jurist Influenced Officers of Erie R. R. Judge Robert W. Archbald of the commerce court was voted guilty of graft by the United States senate, sitting as a court of impeachment. This means his expulsion from office and that he never again can hold an'y office of public trust or honor in this nation. There were 13 -articles of impeachment sent by the house of representatives to the senate to be voted on separately by the senators. It was only necessary that tpe < accused be found guilty on one charge to expel him. Thus when the first vote was announced his *fate had been sealed. A two-thirds vote was necessary on each ballot to sustain the charge then being voted on. Archbald was found guilty on the first charge by a vote of 68 to 5. The impeachment proceedings against Judge Archbald were started early in 1912, when complaint was made to the interstate commerce commission, and later to Attorney General Wickersham and President Taft, that Judge Archbald had been concerned in influencing railroads to grant him certain favors in connection with coal land deals, and the settlement of cases involving coal properties. » A new clothes pin plant has been completed by the Oval Wood Dish Co. in Traverse City.

Continued disorders and widespread rebel activities in southern Mexico, in which official dispatches say small towns and ranches have been attacked and pillaged, women have been carried off and bandits have demoralized the populace, have aroused apprehension for the safety of Americans in the disturbed zone.

The immediate consequences of the decision of the Turkish grand council will be the cessation of hostilities between Greece and Turkey, and the surrender of the Turkish fortresses of Adrianople, Janina and Scutari. At all three fortresses the Turkish garrisons win withdraw with the honors of war. Following a break in the levee at Beulah, Miss., which threatens wholesale destruction in the fertile Mississippi delta valley region, 100 convicts working on the levee made a dash for liberty. Seizing guns they fought desperately to resist capture. The guards also armed with guns, fought back and two guards were slightly wounded and four convicts wounded so seriously that they will die. The guards finally subdued the prisoners after they had been surrounded and forced to stand for several minutes neck deep in water. Gov. Brewer, of Mississippi, when he heard of the break, asserted that the dilatory tactics of the Mississippi levee board was responsible for the crevasse and that everyone ought to be prosecuted. Traffic Is Abandoned. Railroad traffic on the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railroad was abandoned. Hundreds of persons were thereby left to their fate. The only hope of rescue is by boat after the water becomes deep enough to permit t}ie_operation of power boats. -3 The crevasse will mean the inundation of a strip of land 100 miles long and 80 miles wide. The levee at Beulah broke, causing millions of dollars of damage. Government engineers have been notified of the break and are hurrying men and supplies to the spot in an effort to check the water. The break is a serious one and it is feared that jthe_entlr_e levee near Beulah is in dan ger. T H E B A N K S Mexican Volcano In Eruption. Colmia volcano in Mexico is in violent eruption and inhabitants of several towns and villages noar the mountain are fleeing to escape death by strapgulatlon. The big crater is vomiting enormous quantities of lava, sand, ashes and poisonous gases. Thousands of cattie and other animals have met Earthquake in Constantinople. As a climax to the two days of rioting and bloodshed which have marked the overthrow of the Turkish government and the assassination of Nazim Pasha, commander-in-chief of the Turkish army, a severe earthquake shook the capital, caused buildings to totter, torte holes in the streets and created consternation among the populace. « No loss of life has been reported, but the city, already in a state bordering on panic as a result of the clamor against the declaration of peace with the Balkan states, is in a state of excitement. The rioting has been temporarily halted by the earthquake. The earth tromor is thought to have been the most severe ever felt in this part of the continent and was of several minutes' duration. The closing of the year 1912 bas brought out the usual bank statements accompanied by the addresses of the Presidents and General Managers of these institutions. Their reading ia interesting as they show in a striking manner the prosperity of Uie country, and deal with economic matters in a first hand way. Those who know anything of Canadian banking methods know the stability* of these institutions, and the high character of the men who are placed in charge. In discussing the land situation the Pres. ident of the Union Bank of Canada, whose branches are to be found in all parts of the Canadian West, said : - 7 4 "A good deal has been said about speculation in land. The increase i n land values has added enormously to the assets of Western business, and has to some extent formed a basis for •extended credit, but this is not felt to be a drawback when the value is real and convertible. We consider <hat a business standing which is strengthened and enhanced by property holdings is entitled to a reasonable enlargement of credit for legitimate business operations." It will thus be seen that the banks recognize the certain rise in the value of farm^lajids in Western Canada. When the £acts are known of the wonderful producing qualities of farm lands in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, it is simple to understand the liberal stand taken by the banks. Living not far from Lashbura, Sask., is a farmer named Clarke who in 1912 secured a crop of Marquis Wheat, yielding 76 bushels per acre. This is spoken of as a record yield, and this is doubtless true, but several cases have been brought to notice where yields almost as large have been produced, and in different parts of the country. During the past year there have been reported many yields of from 35 to 45 bushels of wheat to the acre. Oats, too, were a successful crop, and so was the barley crop. Wheat that would yield 40 bushels per acre, v juld bring on the market 70c (a fair figure) per bushel, a gross return of $28.00 per acre. A l - low $12.00 per acre (an outside figure) there would be a balance of $16,00 ner • *~ ~ ~>» a nfi. j ^ *y t 1 J Poincare Elected President of France. Raymond Poincare, republican, was elected president of the Republic of France, He's the present prime min ister and was the most popular of the seven orginal candidates. Poincare is thus made ninth president of the third republic, succeeding President Armand Fallieres. Poincare was chosen on the second ballot amid scenes of the wildest confusion, after he had challenged to a duel Georges Clemenceau, a former premier, and after a second duel challenge has been sent by Deputy Mojzie, a Poincare supporter, to former Minister Boncour, an adherent of Jules Pams, secretary of agriculture. The incident between Poincare and Clemenceau arose out of a letter sent by the former premier, to Mr. Poincare, the contents of which were considered offensive by Mr Poincare.

Rumblings far down in the earth followed by terrific detonations. Then a shower of lava and sand covered the surrounding country. The railroad tracks were buried to a depth of several feet, making the passage of trains impossible. Smoke blotted out the sky and added darkness to the other terrors that drove the residents of the small towns from their homes, guided only by the light from the bewitching volcano. A report from Guadalajara, 100 miles from the volcano, said that ashes and gases1 there caused great discomfort. If the eruption continues, it is feared several" towns will be de* siroyed. Greeks Push War. While the Balkan peace delegates here are awaiting instructions from their g o v m o r a s and the Turkish reply to the rowers' note, the Greoir^ are pushing Lcir Military operations in Epirus. The &Tmy"^therer numbering 60,000, is advancing against Janina in a semicircle. The Greeks have been fighting for five days consecutively. The siege is most difficult owing to the mountainous nature of the district and the rery nairow passes, which are strongly fortified. The operations have been rendered still more difficult by stormy weather. If the war is resumed in the next week the allies have agreed that the offensive shall be taken by the combined Bulgarian, Greek and Servian forces against both Adrianople and Tchatalja. The Servians will dispatch some of their troops to help the Montenegrins take Scutari. "acre net profit. This figure should satisfy anyone having land that cost less than $100.00 per acre. Very much less return than this proves satisfactory to those holding lands in Iowa and Illinois worth from $250 to $300^ per acre. The latest Government returns give an approximate estimate of four hundred thousand of an immigration to Canada during 1912. Of this number 200,000 will be from the United States. Most of these are of the farming class and it Is not difficult to understand why farming lands in Canada will advance from ten to twenty per cent, within the next twelve months. Therefore investment in Western Canadian lands is not looked upon as being i n the speculative class. Those fortunate enough to secure free* homesteads in Canada will acquire m the intrinsic value of the land alone the best possible start for a splendid future. Ad* vertisement. T H E FLYING AGE.

Hambleton wakes up on board the Jeanne D'Arc, the yacht on which is Agatha Redmond. His clothes and money belt have been taken from him.

Jimmy and Agatha are both abandoned by the crew, who take to the boats. Jimmy dives into the sea and reaches Agatha. C H A P T E R VIII.—Continued. When daylight came, they found they had not traveled far -from the scene of the night's disaster; or, if they had, the Jeanne A.'Arc had drifted with them. She was still afloat, and just as the sun rose they saw her, apparently not far away, tossing rudderless to the waves. There was no slgu of the shlp^-boats, At "the renewed miracle of light. The two in the water watched with fascinated eyes, filled with awe. When it was ail over Agatha turned to her companion with a long-drawn breath* Jim looked as one looks whose last hope has failed. "I could never have let you goaboard, anyway!" He loved her anew for that speech, but knew not how to meet her eyes. "Well, Ulysses lost his raft, too!" he managed to say. "He saw the sunrise, too, just as we have seen it; and he saw a distant Island, that seemed a shield laid on the misty sea.' Let's look hard now, each time the wave lifts us. Perhaps we also shall see an island " "We must swim harder; you are chilled through." "Oh, no," she laughed. "I shivered at the thought of what a fright I mtnlf look. I always did hate to get my hair wet." "You look all right to- me." They were able to laugh, and so kept up heart. They tried to calculate the direction the yacht had taken when she left port, and where the land might lie; and when they had argued about it, they set out to swim a certain way. In their hearts each felt that any calculation was futile, but they pretended to be in earnest. They could not see far, but they created for themselves a goal and worked toward it, which is -e4-=the= and at sight of the yacht, Jimmy's hopes were reborn. His spirit bathed In the wonder of the day and was made strong again. The night with Its horrors of struggle and its darkness was past, forgotten in the flush of hope that came with the light. Together they struck out toward the yacht, fresh with new courage. Now that he could see plainly, Jim swam always a little behind Agatha keeping a watchful eye. She still took the water gallantly, nose and closed mouth just topping the wave, like a spaniel. An occasional sidestroke would bring her face level to the water, with a backward smile for her companion. He gloried in her. spirit, even while he feared for her strength. It was a longer pull to the yacht than they had counted upon, a heavy tax on their powers of endurance. Jim came up to find Agatha floating on her back and put his hand under her shoulders, steadying her easily. "Now ^ o u can really rest," he said. "I've looked toward the horizon so lor/g, I thought I'd look up, way up. for a change," she said cheerfully "That's where the skylarks go, when they want to sing—straight up into heaven!" "Doesn't it make you - want to sing?" She showed no surprise at the question "Yes, it does, almost. But just as 1 thought of the skylarks, I remem bered eo me thing else; something that kept haunting me in the darkness all night— " 'Master in song, good-by, good-by. Down to1 the dim sea-line—' I thought something or somebody was fturejy lost down in 'the dim sea-line' last night." "Who can tell? But I had a better thought than yours; Ulysses, like us, swimming over the 'wine-dark sea'! Do you remember it? Then two days and two nights on the resistless waves be drifted; many a time his heart faped death/" "That's not a bit better thought than mine; but I like it. And I know what follows, too. 'But when the fairhaired dawn brought the third day, t then the wind ceased; there came a breathless calm; and close at band be spied the coast, as he cast a keen glance forward, upborne on a great » ware/ .That's It, isn't it?" "I don't know, but I hope it is. 'The wine-dark sea' and the 'rosyfingered dawn are all I remember; though I'm glad you know what comes next. It's a good omen. But look v At the yacht; she's acting strange!" As the girl turned to her stroke* ' 4heir attention was caught and held by the convulsions of the Jeanne D'Arc. There was a grim * fascination in the sight. It was obvious that she was sinking. While they had been resting, her hull had sunk toward the waterline, her graceful bulk and delicate masts showing strange against ocean and sky. Now she suddenly tipped down at her stern; her bow was thrown up out of the water for an Instant, only to be drawn down again, slowly but irresistibly, as tf she were pulled by a giant's, unseen hand, With a sudden last larch she disappeared entirely, and only widen* ing circles fleetlngly marked the place of her going. .- \ . _ •'•v -t- •'.«, itself a happiness. So they watched and waited, ages long. Hope came to them again presently. James, treading water, thrust up his head and scented the air. "I smell the salt marsh, which means land!" He sniffed again. "Yes, decidedly!" A moment later it was there, before their vision—that "shield laid on the misty sea" which was the land. Only It was not like a shield, but a rocky spit of coast land, with flr trees farther back. James made for the nearest point, though his heart shrank to see how far away it was. Fatigue and anxiety were taking their toll of his vigor. Neither one had breath to spare even for exultation that the land was in sight Little by little Agatha grew more quiet, though not less brave. It took all her strength to flght the water— that mighty element which indifferently supports or engulfs the human atom. If she feared, she made no sign. Bravely she kept her heart, and carefully she saved her strength, swimming slowly, resting often, and wasting no breath in talk. But more and more frequently her eyes rested wistfully on James, mutely asking him for help. He watched her minute by minute, often begging her to let him help her. "Oh, no, not yet; I can go on nicely. H~h just rest a—little. -There—thank you." Once she looked at him with such pain in her eyes that he silently took her hands, placed1 them on bis shoulder and carried her along v/itb his stronger stroke. She was reassured by his strength, and presently she slipped away from him, smiling confidently again as she swam alongside. "I'm all right now; but I suddenly thought, what if anything should happen to you, and I be left alone! Or what i f I should get panicky and clutch you and drag you down, the way people do sometimes!" "But 1 shan't leave you alone, and you're not going to do that!" , Agatha smiled, but could only say, "I hope not!" She forged ahead a little, and presently bad another moment of fright on looking round and finding that Jim had disappeared. He had suddenly dived, without giving her warning. He came up a second later, puffing and slitting the bluer brine; but his face was radiant. "Rocks and seaweed!" he cried. "The land is near. Come;' I can swim and take you, too, easily. And now I know certainly Just which way to go. Come, come!" Agatha heard it all, but this time she .was unable to utter a word J i m saw her stiff lips move in an effort to smile or speak, but he heard no voice. "Keep up, keep up, dear girl!" he cried. "We'll soon be there. Try, try to keep up! Don't lose for a moment the thought that you are near land, that you are almost there. We are safe, you can go on—only a few moments more!" Poor Agatha strove as J im bade her, gallantly, hearing his voice as through a thickening wall; but she had already done her best, and more. Shestmggled for a few half-conscious moments; then suddenly her arms gtew limp, her e/ee olosed, and her weight came upon J im as that of a dead person. Then he set his teeth and nerved himself to make the effort of his life. It is no easy thing to strain forward, swimming the high seas, bearing above the surface a load which on land would make' a strong man stagger. One must watch one's burden, to guard against mishap; one must save breath and muscle, and keep an eye fer direction, all in a struggle against a hostile element. The goal still seemed incredibly far, farther than his strength could go. Yet he swam on, fighting against the heart-breaking thought that his companion had perhaps gone "down to the dim sea-line" in very truth. She had been so brave, so strong- She had buoyed up his courage when it had been fainting; she had fought splendidly against the last terrible inertia of exhaustion* "Courage!" he told>3*lmself- "We must make the land!" T&tff it took a stupendous effort. H i s strokes became unequal, some of them feeble and ineffective; his musctes ached with the strain; now and then a strange whirring and dizziness in his head caused him to wonder dimly whether he were above or below water. He could no longer swim with closed lips, but constantly threw hi3 head back with the gasp that marks Holding edmond" Hi front of him, with her head well above the water and her body partly supported by the life preserver, he swam sometimes with one hand, sometimes only with his legs. He dared not stop dow, lest he be too late in reaching land or wholly unable to regather his force. The dizziness increased, and a sharp pain In his eyeballs recurred again and again. He could no longer see the land; it seemed to him that it was blood, not brine, that spurted from nose and mouth; but still he swam on, holding the woman safe. He made a gigantic effort to shout, though he could scarcely hear his own voice. Then he fixed his mind solely on his swimming, counting one stroke after another, like a man who Is coaxing sleep. How long he swam thus, he did not know; but after many strokes be was conscious of a Sense of happiness that, after all, it wasn't necessary to reach land or to struggle any more. Rest and respite from excruciating effort were to be had for the taking— why had he withstood them so long? r ihe sea rocked him, the surge filled his ears, his limbs relaxed their tension. Then it was that a \strong hand grasped him, and a second later the same hand dealt him a violent blow on the face. He had to begin the intolerable exertion of swimming again, but he no longer, had- a burden to _hol d safejthat the ascent would be easy en-ough. Nevertheless, the campers did attempt it. Instead, they had* made a fir* of driftwood on the &and out of reach of the highest tide. Near the fire they had spread fir boughs, and on tiij^fragrant couch lames was lying. H e i j ^ B a l l unconscious,, apparently, of-the primitive nature of his surroundings, the sweetness of his balsam bed. and the watchful care of his two nurses. Jim was in a bad way, if one eould trust the remarks of his male nurse, who spake to &n invisible (companion as he gathered chips and other bits of -wood from the beach. He was a young, businesslike fellow with a clean, wholesome face, dressed only in a gauze shirt, trousers, and boots without stockings; this lack, of course, was not immediately apparent. The tide had just turned after th<e ebb, and he went far down over the wet sand, sometimes climbing over the rocks farther along the shore until he was out of sight of the camp Returning from one of these excursions, which had been a bit longer than he intended, he looked anxiously toward the fire before depositing his armful of driftwood. The blaze had died down, but a good bed of coals remained; and upon this the young man expertly built up a new fire. It crackled and blazed into life, throwing a ruddy glow over the'shingle. the rock* behind, and the figure lying on the balsam couch. James' face was waxen in its paleness, save for two fiery spots on his cheeks; and as ho lay he stirred constantly in a feverish unrest. His bare feet were nearest the fire; his blue woollen trousers and shirt were only partly visible, being somewhat covered by a man's tweed coat Tha firo lighted up, also, the figure of Agatha Eedmond. She was kneeling at the farther end of Jim's couch, laying a white cloth, which had been wet. over his temples. Her long dark hair was hanging just as it had dried, except that it was tied together low in the back with a string of slippery seaweed. Her neck was bare, her feet also; her loose blouse had lost al! semblance of a made-to-order garment, but it still covered her; while a petticoat that had once been black satin hung in stiff, salt-dried creases over her waist to a little below her kn^es. She had the well-set head and good shoulders, with deep chest, which makes any garb becoming; her face was bonny, even now, clouded as it was with anxiety and man who had dragged her and her rescuer from t£ie water, who had made lire and a bad for them, who got milk for sustenance, had been almost the last person her conscious eyes had seen in that half-hour of terror on the hillside. Her next memory, otter an untold interval, was the rocking of the ship, an ©Id woman who treated her obsequiously, a man who was her servile attendant and yet her jailer—but then, suddenly, as she knelt there, mind and body refused their service. She cnx&ftod down on the soft sand, burying her head In her arms. Hand came nearer and bent awkwardly over her, as if to coax her confidence. "It's a ll right now. Mademoiselle. Whatever you think of me, you can trust me now." "Ob, I'm not afraid of you now." Agatha moaned in a muffled voice. "Only I'm so puzzled by it all—and so tired!" " 'Twas a fearful strain, Mademoiselle. But I can make you a bed here, so you can sleep/' Agatha shook" her head "I can sleep on the eand, just as well." *T think. Mademoiselle.

Started like little white pimples, looked like an old scab of blood and matter. His whole head was covered for a few months, then it went to his ear, shoulders, and his tfhole body, i t seemed^to come out thick and sticky on his head, while to her forehead, straining to put her | on the other parts of his body i t 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 p2per to use , but it did no good. Then there was no burden in sight. Halfconsclously he felt the earth once more beneath his feet, but he could not stand. He fell face forward into the water again at bis first attempt, and again the strong hand pulled him up an$half-carried him over some slimy rocks. It was an endless journey befote the strong hand would let him sit or lie down, but at last he was allowed to drop. He vaguely felt the warmth of the sun drying his skin while the sea hummed m his ears; he felt distinctly the sharp pain between his eyes, and a parching thirst. He groped around In a delirious search for water, which he did not find; he pressed bis head and limbs against the earth in an exquisite relief from pain; and at last his bruised feet, his aching bones and head constrained him to a lethargy that ended in sleep. C H A P T E R IX, Tre Camp on the Beach. Sunset of the day that had dawned so strangely and wonderfully for those two wayfarers of earth, James and Agatha, fell on a< little camp near the spit of coast-land toward which they had struggled. The point lifted Itself abruptly into a rocky bank which' curved In and out, yielding to the besieging ^ waves, Just here had been formed a little sandy cove partly protected by the beetling cliff. At the top was verdure in abundance. Vines hung down over the face of the wall, coarse grasses and underbrush grew to its very edge, and sharp*pointed fir trees etched themselves against the clear blue of the rky. HeJow, the-white sand formed a aickle-shaped beach, bordered by the rocky wall* with its sharp point dipping far out to sea. High up on the-sand a small rowbqat was beached, There was no path visible up from the ihlngle, but i t was evident fatigue, bhe greeted the young man eagerly on his return. "If yet* could only find a little mere fresh water, I am sure It would help. The milk was good, only he would take so little. I think I shall have to let you go this evening to hunt for the farm-house." "Yes, Mademoiselle," the young man replied. He had wanted to go earlier in the day, but the man was too i l l and the woman too exhausted to be left alone. He went on speaking slowly, after a pause. "I can find the farm-house. I am sure, only it may take a little time. Following the cattle would have been the quickest way; but I can find the cowpath soon, even as It is. If you wouldn't be uneasy with me gone, Mademoiselle!" "Oh, no, we shall be all right now, till you can get back!" As she spoke, Agatha's eyes rested questioningly on the youth who, ever since she had revived from her faint of exhaustion, had teased her memory. He had seen them struggling in the sea, and had swum out to her aid. she knew; and after leaving her lying on a slimy, seaweed-covered rock, he had gone out again and brought in her companion in a far worse condition than herself. The young man, also, was a survivor of the Jeanne D'Arc. having come from the disabled craft in the tfny rowboat that was now on the beach More than this she did not know, yet something jogged hei memory every now and the:, -something that would n,ot shape Itself definitely. Indeed, she had been too much engrossed in the serious condition of her companion and the work necessary to make a camp, to spend any thought on unimportant speculations. But now, as she listened to the youth's respectful tones, It suddenly came back to her. She looked at him with awe-struck eyes. "Oh, now I know! You are the new chauffeur; 'queer name, Hand!' Yes, I remember—I remember." "What you say Is true, Mademoiselle." He stood before her, a stubbornly submissive look on his face, as a servant might stand before his betrayed master. It was as if he had been waiting for that moment, waiting for her anger to fall on him. But Agatha was speechless at her growing wonder at the trick fate had played thorn. Her steady gaze, serious and earnest now, without a hint of the laughter that usually came so easily, dwelt on the young man's eyes for a moment, then she turned away as if she were giving up a puzzling question. She looked at James, whose stubblybearded face was now quiet' against Its green Pillow*. as H seeking a solution there; but she had to fall back, at last, on the youth. "Do you know who this man is?" she asked irrelevantly. "No, Mademoiselle. Ho was picked up In New York harbor, the night we weighed anchor. I have not seen him since until»today."

It came into her mind that he was only seeking an excuse to run away, in fear of being arrested later. A second time she looked up into his eyes with her serious, questioning gaze. "I don't know why you were in the plot to do as you did—last Monday afternoon," she said slowly: "but whatever it was, it was unworthy of you. You are not by nature a criminal and a stealer of women, I know. And you have been kind and brave today; I ehall never forget that. Do you really mean now to stay by me?" Hand's gaze was no less earnest, than her own; and though he flinched at "criminal," his eyes met herB steadily. "As long as I can help you, Mademoiselle, I will do so."

"Honest true, cross your heart?" Hand's businesslike features relaxed a little. "Honest true, cross my heart!" he repeated. " A l l right," said Agatha, almost cheerfully.

The question arises as to where the line should be drawn. X o w , college athletics will never thrive without intercollegiate contests. To get for the greatest number the greatest beneficial results from athletics you must create the maximum interest, and to do ttris vou must have the maximum incentive, ^ e r y few men will go out and run around a quarter-mile track purely for exercise. 1- "There must oe the incentive of a contest, either present or prospective. I f the prospective contest be a trial of speed against some individual college mate the incentive may be sufficient to sustain a couple of weeks" training, but i f the incentive be the hope of representing his class in a n inierclass 'contest a man will train longer and more faithfully. If, however, the incentive be the ccrtaintv that if he demonstrates that he is the best man in the event among all his classmates and college mates as well, he will have the honor of wearing his college colors in an intercollegiate contest, and then the opportunity of testing his speed against the -best athletes of neighboring colleges. Then a man will train season after season, and there is an incentive that will attract the maximum number of men into the sport. Xow i f it be true, as I contend that it is, that athletics in college are essential to wholesome life, and if it he true, and I contend that it is, that any general sustained interest in athletics is impossible in a college without the stimulus of prospective intercollegiate contests, then it ought to follow that any restrictions as to the number of such contests should be made only for sound reasons and upon the practical certainty that some advantage is assured which will compensate for the loss of athletic interest and activity which is certain to follow anv extensive restriction. I f it be true, >rhich T should not be willing to concede, that there 5s any serious necessity of reducing the number of intercollegiate contests, it is mv idea that the onlv contests which can be eliminated without seriously impairing the internal athletic activities of the colleges are, first, intercollegiate contests in indoor games, such as basket ball, and, second, intercollegiate class contests. I should regret exceedingly seeing any substantial restriction of the number of games in any of the so-called major sports. Take football as an illustration. I f the game is to be played at all it should be played well. The highest standard of play cannot be reached without contests with other colleges distributed through the season.

This tends to lessen the number of men who will try for the team, and the whole tendency would be toward a decrease of healthy athletic activity within the college. To my mind this would be unfortunate. D o i n g R i g h t M a k e s S u c c e s s I n L i f e Briefly stated, a successful life is one which is well advanced toward real manhood—- the likeness of God—"the full stature of manhood in Christ." A t some period in the life of each individual there comes an awakening to the necessity of' Tightness, and hence an awakening to the importance of that ideal manhood which accords with the divine requirement. We believe that each one must work out the problem of life from the particular position in which the necessity of so doing first appears to h i m ; that he must begin at once to develop Christian graces. The old admonition, " D o with your ;might what your hands find to do," might probably better read, " D o well what your hands find to do," and it should be noted that doing well does not necessarily mean Aoing big things. It means doing right in all things, great and small, doing right at every step of the journey, doing iright with reference to every experience.

NEW YORK. — A man just past middle age, gray-haired and ruddy-faced, sat thumbing a Bible. He was the Rev. George R. Van De Water, D. D., rector of the big New York Church of St. Andrew, and th§ place was the wt.udy in his home, No. 7 West One hundred and Twenty-second street. As he read through his thlckrimmed, big-lensed spectacles he smiled. And then- he laughed—the laugh of a man in joy. "What a great thing it Is to see!" he exclaimed. "1 have come out of the great darkness—I can sse again. I can see, see, see!" He showed the front page of the Book. 'This is what I have written/' he, added, earnestly. There it was in his own handwriting, the handwriting of the man who had started into the dark four years ago and now had eome_out B e i n g P o ^ v e r F o r G o o d I n S o m e W a y Br SARA McLEAN, OochwaHtO. Knowledge unaccompanied by other high qualities does not properly shape one's life. Virtue and integrity are not elusive. Jteople who may have left them far behind i n their pursuit of other interests can pick them up again, as the weaver does the broken thread in his loom, and they can go on weaving their life web, making it one of beautiful usefulness and worth. It does not make any difference to what extent one is educated i f there is no expansion, of „soul; the life cannot be well proportioned. Bacon says: " F o r in proportion as a man is watchfully and prayerfully on his guard against the unseen current of passion • and prejudices, which is ever tending to drive him out of the right course, i n the same degree he w i l l have reason for cherishing an humble hope that he, the Spirit of T r u t h , is, and will be with him to enlighten his > "There is no greater monster in being than a very bad man of great .

W e should ever allow his intellect to interfere with his being a into the light: "This Bible, most comprehensive and in the best type and on the thinnest paper, was given me by my brother John during the year of my blindness for my use after the operation. " 'Open Thou mine eyes, that I may Bee the wondrous things of thy law'— Psalm eXVIII." And then this: •'It was the first book I read after the operation, when I had received my glasses." "Whereas I was blind, now I see!" he. uttered solemnly, gazing through his big glass lenses. These the oculist gives to take the place of the lens of the eye removed by the operation for cataract. It was a few days before that his church had held a celebration of thanksgiving in remembrance of his return to sight. Both., cataracts have been removed from Dr. Van Dc Water's eyes, and again he can see. His brother John passed into eternal darkness only the week before sight came back to the eyes of Dr. Van De Water. "Few can realize,'' said Dr. Van De Water, "what it means to go blind and then have the joy of sight returned. How it happened I can't tell; it might have been my experiences at Santiago in the Spanish war'—Dr. Van De Water was chaplain of the Seventy-flrst New York there—"or it might have been inheritance or accident." First Glimmer of Fearful Truth. "I^heard the real truth in 1908. I had never been to an oculist in my yfe—i W ore glasses merely to help me see more clearly. But in that year I noticed that things were getting dimmer—there wasn't enough light. I began complaining that our church wasn't light enough for me to. see plainly; at home. I began to believe that the gas was dim." Dr. Van De Water looked up through his big lenses and smiled reminiscently. And he told of how he had gone to his regular optician to have his glasses changed. ' " 'Look here,' the man said to me. 'I know you're a man who wants to know the truth. I'm not going to lie to you—you've got cataracts on both eyes. See a specialist right away.'" Cataracts! Who can realize what they mean unless they, too, have had them. It means that the sun goes out, that it is midnight at midday! Things grow strangely dim in broad daylight. It gets grayer and grayer and then at last you grope your way in an awful never ending night. You are blind, where once you could see! Such were the experiences of Dr. Van De Water. As the days passed they became darkey and darker, but he mentioned it to Mrs. Van De Water alone, ever hoping for the light. The affliction comes slowly, sometimes blindness does not arrive for two years. Foresaw Day of the Dark. In 1910 he went abroad in the hope of staving off the awful day when the world would go out. He and Mrs. Van De Water visited Oberammergau to see the Play of the Passion. He had to take field glasses with him to see the actors perform, and he knew that the day couldn't be long postponed— the day of the dark. "One eye went before the other," the clergyman said, "but still I could make out things* We went to the "Villa Serbellom above Beia*io, on Lake Como, t opposite Caddenabbia. That lake was the last thing I really could see. I came heme practically sightless! f "But I hoped—yes, I hoped. And I prayed. I hoped to prolong my vision by iridectomy and took the chance— it was useless. And my eyes went out on that last awful Sunday in 1910." The clergyman was referring to that day when he went to the reading desk to read the litany for his congregation. He found that his eyes had failed him completely—he was stone blind, and the types could not reach his brain. "Please finish it," he said to his assistant, turning helplessly away. "I am blind," he said to people in the pews, some of them weeping, "I have lost my sight; please bear with me." But let him tell some of the rest of his story, aa he revels today in vision "t^at4s>„perfect when he puts nn h\* big lenses—he cannot see without them. Joy of Restored Sight. "I love a picket fence, I love a mud puddle," he said, wiping the tears from his one time sightless eyes. "I love everything around me; I can see them all again. To think of going blind; not to know the faces of your friends, first, and then^ noting that it was going blacker every day—it's all too horrible! "So I went to Dr. John E. Weeks. 'Patience/ he told me, *you must wait.' And I could only take a chance on one eye at a time; the risk was too great. If we failed on one eye, we still had a chance for the other. "Other eyes helped me—those of my good^wife and of my curate, the Rev. Mr. Lvie. My wife read me my personal jm^r-my ourate took charge of the official business of the church. I decided to learn to write, though blind. Half a dozen members of my congregation came in and read to me every day for two or three hours. It is hard to realize what it means to have such friends when they must be eyeB for you. "And 'patience!' Dr. Weeks was Baying to me all the time. "The sexton led me to the pulpit every time I preached, and led me out again, i walked about with a cane in the familiar streets near my house and the church. One day a pathetic thing happened, a man bumped into me. 'I'm blind? he said, 'please help me across the street.' And I could only say, 'So am 1. I'm blind, too.' Struggle to Save Eyesight. "But still I had to wait/ ^he cataract had to form itself before I could go on the table for Dr. Weeks. I was in such a condition that I couldn't baptize a child or deliver the Sacrament. I learned the service by heart, but when there was a funeral I had to be led to the coffin. I had to be put to bed at night. And 'keep doing things,' was Dr. Weeks* everyday talk to me. 'You must work on if we are going to save your eyes'.* Dr. Van De Water told' of his struggles to Bee his fingers in the broad daylight, when he held them in front of his eyes; of the falls he had when he tried to make his way about his own home in the darkness that was his; of the weary waiting for the time When Dr. Weeks could say, •We're ready, now!" And of his thoughts when he could see nothing: . "I learned most of the psalms by heart," he said. "I revelled in Robert Burns, and ^specially in his 'Epistle to a Young Friend.' I had Whittier -ead to me—his 'Hymn on Eternal Goodness.* And over and over again they read to me John Forster's essay on 'Decision of Character.* But everything was as night to me. And I had to wait. "During all those long weary months, from October to A p r i l in the darkness, my mind unconsciously went back to my boyhood days. I could recall the days when I didn't wash my face and when I never wanted to take a bath. The old-fashioned hymns came back to me. I remembered better these things than what had happened o u l y l i t e w short years before. But I \?as blind." . \ Seemed the Dawn of Heaven. pretty rapidly now; he was getting to that day of days. The operation lasted only a half hour. His eyes were bound up for three weeks. "Then Heaven dawned! "One morning Dr. Weeks came in. and the bandages were taken off. He laughed a bit and showed me something. 'What's that?' he asked, with just a bit of a quiver in his voice." His Eyesight Given Back. • Dr. Van De Water brushed his hands across his eyes as he told the story. "It was a watch," he said, slowly and almost in reverence, "and I could see the second hand spinning around! He had put a lens over one of my eyes, and it had worked. Then they bandaged me up again in the dark for three more weeks. And it was only one eye—the other was still blind!" Dr. Van De Water paused for a moment.— H-e teokr-off-Ms s p e c t a c l e s : — "Can you realize, can any man, that without these glasses I can't see a single thing? A man and a tree look the same to me. Without those big lenses your face looks like a piece of paper." "And now see." He picked up a newspaper. Putting on his glasses, he read the print without trouble. "Yes," he ran on, "they gave me back my other eye, too, and now I can see. Oh, what a beautiful world it is! God is good, and I have been brought to realize it." Dr. Van De Water has had five pairs of spectacles since his sight was given back to him, each one a little more correct than the first. There is little left to do. On Thanksgiving day he could go into the pulpit and read his sermon with ease—"the most thankful person there."—New York World. Will Throw Light on History.

Division; Commander Gen. Orlando B. Wilcox had his headquarters in the Friend's house, nearly Erectly back of »Fort Stedman.

In Fort Stedrcan was the first pattalion, of the ?.4th N . Y. The 69th Mass. was aearby in the rear of Fort Stedman, in rear of Battery No. 10. In a . clump of pines on the left of Fort Stedman was the 3d Md., then Battery No. 11, then the 31st Mass., thea Battery No. 12, and the 100th Pa. (Roundheads) occupied the rifle pits up to Fort Haskell. On the morning of March 25, 1865,. just as our drum corps was getting out to beat reveille, the ball opened. It was 5 a. m. Co. F was the second company on the right when the fort was taken. The enemy filed right through to our rear, and formed iutwo lines, and came advancing upon us. Co. D ©f our regiment wa»- thrown baefc, and we, skirmishing, fell back to our workB. In the meantime our colonel, James Pentecost, rode down to the right of the line, and said: "Boys, our brigade commander, Gett. Bonaparte McLaughlin, of the 57th Mass., is taken prisoner." Col. Pentecost then ordered us to the other side of the rifle pits and into Fort Haskell. We obeyed orders,- and mounted on the front of the works inside of the abatis and dug right out for the fort. We got as far as the little run that went through our works, when I stopped and crawled upon the worka to"geTTTparting shot at the Johnnies, and the first thing I heard was: "Surrender you Yank." When I got to my feet there wen> 15 or 20 Johnnies with theigisjuns trained on us. They captured" our First Lieutenant, Ed McMillen, Fife Maj. Steward Alford and a recruit by the name of Rankin, all of Co. F, and some others of the regiment. Silas Alford, of Co. F, was killed right alongside of us. Col. James Pentecost was, mortally wounded, just on the other side of the works, dying the next day. Then the Johnnies started with us prisoners over to their main line of works, I was wounded and left lying about 50 yards in front of our own company's works in a gopher hole with Steward Alford, who had escaped the notice of the Johnnies as they were hustling to get out of the place when the balls were making the dirt fly. Alford and I lay in this hole all the* time the fight was going on, and could see the enemy in our works and also see them trying to storm Fort Haskell. They would get over the rifle pits and try and get around in front of the fort, but were cut down as fast as they got over. After the fight was over, about 8 a. m., two comrades of Battery No. 12 came out and carried me into the rifle pits. My two messmates helped to lift me over Saving Hie Pipe. The soldiers of a New York regiment, who were advancing on a concealed enemy, were very much amused to see a young Irishman continually dodging behind his companions at the sound of every volley that was fired against them, as if to avoid the bullets that were sometimes landing in dangerous proximity, when one of his Scotch companions said: "Stand forrld, my laddie, stand forrid.

Eugenie Arco, an attractive young woman with dark eyes and jet-black hair. Her hands were small and aristocratic, and her appearance would have been in every way refined but for her ears. These were too large and stood rather far from her head. The girl fascinated, yet at the same time repelled, me. 1 It had been raining all tha morn- Ing, and I was in the reading-room glancing at an illustrated paper, when a voice near said, 1 "Pardon mer monsieur, I see you are a Russian." ! It was Mile. Arco. "No," I replied, pi am not." ! "I thought you were," she continued, "because I saw you reading a Russian periodical." "I was not reading it," I retorted, T w a s only looking at the pictures." "Oh, I see!" she explaimed. But the look Bhe gave me said she did not believe me. ! I did not care to continue the coniversation,- and she soon left the room, i From that moment, however, I noticed she never ceased to observe me, and many a time when I pretended to toe asleep in one of the armchairs in the hall her large black eyes were fastened on me as if they were trying to pierce my thoughts. I With the officials in the hotel Mile. Arco was a persona grata, for, unlike mdst women, who in money matters are inclined to be niggardly, she tipped the waiters and chambermaids most liberally. The manager of the hotel and his wife had also taken a great fancy to her, and she was alfways warmly welcomed by them in their sanctum, where she* would sit and smoke cigarette after cigarette. I Feeling myself closely watched by —Iiefs-I returned the compliment, and noticed that she would repair to the )office at those hours when the post tame tn, and look over the clerk's lehoulder at the letters he sorted And Jthen it struck me that no missive ever came addressed to her, although one afternoon, happening to pass her room tot £he moment the maid opened her door, I saw her deeply engaged in correspondence, with several letters i n Croat of her. 1 . The next morning, when Mile. Arco left the hotel I went out at the back, xnade Quickly f 0 r the post office by another road, and hid myself behind the hedge of an empty cottage opposite. I saw her enter the post office and leave it a few minutes later. She Hooked up and down the road, and, nobody being in sight, she took a letter out of her pocket, opened it, and read it eagerly. . ; "Bah," I said to myself, "you are cot clever, my girl. A child could Ihave seen through your game. Now "we shall have some fun." < That same evening after dinner rain Sell in torrents, and most of the guests i*ere in the drawing-room. A few were Sulging in a harmless game of ds; two girls were at the piano singing sentimental songs, and Mile. Arco reclined in a rocking-chair, a book in her lap. The count, a very reserved man, with whom I had thus far exchanged only a few words, was talking to a retired naval officer who Bad spent some years in Russia. | "Yea," I heard the count say, "we frraot a thorough change. It is a disgraceful state of things. These grand dukes-— ' T a l k i n g of Russia," I cut in, "al- Sow fide to read to you something/ that Just happened i n Paris." / ' I took a paper from my pocket,^and as I unfolded it I noticed the count, whom I had interrupted in the/middle «f his speech, gaze at me with any Jhing mis pleasure. ^ • -1 . "L^at night/' I read, <Ue police called to a house in the Rue Delambre, in the Montparnasse quarter, where, in a bedroom on.the fifth floor, they fouud the body of a young woman stabbed to the heart. On a piece of paper pinned to her dress the following lines were scribbled in pencils - "This woman, a wretched spy in the employ of the Russian police, lias for a long time past watched young men and girls studying at the Paris universities. Two girls who recently returned to Russia were, on that woman's information, arrested at the frontier, and^ have not been heard of since. There are, we know, other female spies now carrying on their nefarious work in some of the French watering places, and their turn will soon come. "The police are investigating the affair, which has created a tremendous sensation among the Russian students here." There was a moment's silence when I had finished, and then two or three of the guests remarked that it was a terrible business. The count remained sclent. He soon after went to bed, and I followed his example. The next morning after breakfast I sat ouJ«ide the hotel smoking my cigarette. The guests were at the springs or strolling about, while the countess had gone on one of her usual peregrinations. Toward two the count appeared, and, passing me, gave me one of his formal nods. I went up to him. "Pardon me," I said; "I owe you an apology for interrppting you somewhat rudely last night; but I took the liberty of stopping you from launching into what looked very much like a diatribe against the Russian authorities. You were apparently not aware that a political spy was sitting within a yard of you." "A spy!" he gasped. "Yes, a spy, in the person of that good-looking girl, Mile. Eugenie Arco. So, now, you will perhaps accept my apology." " M flnlhprt," he iBriiffherl,^ "I don't went straight to his wife's dressingroom. "Look at that!*' he exclaimed, pointing to a dressing-bag on the floor, its lock forced open, and many of the things it had contained scattered around. "The countess," he continueud, "kept her jewelry locked in that. The thief or thieves must have sneaked in knock at~*&y door. To my surprise the count entered. "Pardon my intruding upon you," he sighed. ut am very much anrioyed. This police commissary is not making any headway. He clings to the idea that the maid committed the deed, or that she Ja an accomplice; and he thinks he is on the right trail. M. Guibert, I must discover the culafter she left. What do you advise ! prit, and am willing to offer a reward me to do?" ; that may tempt any one to help me in "I think you had better wait for my search. The hotel proprietor sugthe countess' return before taking any gested me writing to M . Goron, asking Steps'; she will not be long. In the him to come to our assistance, as meantime you might question the these local detectives seem unable to know whether to challenge you to fight or to ask you to do me the honor to lucuph with me today." _^Xher^Js—no_^nec_essity for either." I replied. "I am only too happy to have rendered you a slight service." "How did you know she was a spy?" he asked. "Have you any proof?" "No, only strong suspicion. But we shall now have proofs." The head waiter was standing at the door. "I have not seen Mile. Arco this morning," I called out to him. "I hope she is not ill." "She has gone away," the man replied. "She left early this morning." The count looked puzzled. We walked a little way down the road, and then I said: "I had my doubts about that girl from the start; she is a bungler, a novice in the business. Fancy her suspecting me, a native of Brittany, of being a Russian Nihilist! Political spying is dirty work; but if you do it you must do it well or it becomes dangerous, especially to the spy. And that is why I tried to knock the fear into that young creature by reading out that paragraph last night." 'Tes, about those unfortunate girls. Poor things!" "Reserve your pity for another occasion, count I invented that story." M . Guibert!" he cried, "I complimaid." But Marfa, bad obtained her mistress' permission to go for a donkeyride to the monastery a few miles distant. So we waited till she came in. When the count told her of the robbery she looked thunderstruck. "I swear," she cried, "that when mad am e went out the bag was safely locked. I did not go into her room after she left." A loud noise down-stairs announced the cavalcade had returned from their excursion. The countess entered the hotel and her huBband went quickly up to her, I strolled down tlje road leading to the station, when a carriage drove up and a man jumped out, shouting: "Goron, Goron! How are you, old chap?" It was Dr. Thibaut. "Hold your tongue, you stupid!" I said. "What do you mean by bawling out my name? Have you forgotten that I am M. Guibert? I hope the driver has not heard you." >, "Th^ts all right," he rejoined; "he's as deaf as a post. I have taken a week's holiday. I want to spend it with you here, after which we will return to Paris together. What do you say to this arrangement?" "You have come at a good moment," I remarked; "there is plenty of excitement at the hotel?*-1 and I related to him the story of the robbery. His eyes sparkled with delight. "That will be glorious sport to witness," he laughed. "For you, perhaps, you heartless clear up the mystery." "It is useless to write to M. Goron," I replied. "Remember that this is beyond £is sphere of action; and* that with the work on his hands In Paris you cannot expect him to attend to crimes committed in the provinces." "I dare say you are right," groaned the old gentleman, "besides- " He stopped, and moved uneasily in his chair. " M . Guibert," he burst out rather suddenly, "I repeat, I am particularly anxious to lay my hands on the robber. Yet, at the same time, I dread disclosures that might—that might— possibly cause annoyance to the countess. My wife is young, very young, and inexperienced; aiul only too inclined to give her friendship to people of whom she knows very little. Look at that noisy crowd who follow her on her long rides or drives. Who are they? She made their acquaintance only since we came here. Some of the women of that set are as bad as the men. There is that Soudier always dangling after her. What is he? Who is he? Can one find that out? I have my reasons for asking you this." "I do not know the man any more than you do, but it will be easy to find out all about him through my Paris friends." "Please, M. Guibert, do this for me. I shall be deeply grateful." m "Frankly, do you think of him in ccmnection with the robbery?" "I suspect that whole fast gang, and feel certain one of them is the thief ''shouted, her face beaming with joy, her husband says, I gather she Is convinced that a stranger to the place committed the deed." "I have a theory," said Thibaut, "that the countess knows the thief, whom she does not want to compromise because " "Because she loves him,?" 1 "Yes.' "TheBe things do occur." "What about the man with the shaven upper lip? I have not seen him within the last few days." "No; but I have," Thibaut gazed at me intently for a few moments. "Goron," he cried eagerly, "you've discovered something. You have a clue. What is it?" "My dear Thibaut, you have halfguessed the truth. Yes, I scent a mystery, and I wish to clear it up; but not from professional pride. It is from a sense of duty, for, unless I step in, I foresee a disaster." "Is it as serious as that?" "It may become so. That is what I want to avoid." "Can I help you?" "Yes, by not asking me any questions, even^vhen I absent myself. Understand me well, Thibaut 1 must remain M. Guibert to the end. Nobedy, including M. Julien, must know I am Goron. An indiscreet word from you would defeat all my plans." "You can rely on me." "I know I can. When, as I hope, I shall have brought my task to a satisfactory ending you shall know all the details of the case. This much I will tell you. The necklace has mysteriously disappeared; I shall try to have it spirited back in the same mysterious way." A week after the foregoing conversation a cab drove up at the door of the hotel. Thibaut's and my luggage was hoisted on the top; and we shook" hands with some of the guests, including the count, who witnessed our departure for Paris. Half-way to the station.we met the countess on her bicycle, some 50 yards ahead of her party. "Bon voyage, M. Guibert!" she ment~you bnyour"perspicacity^ May I ask what your profession is?" "I am a commission a? " "Well," he laughed, "y^u >Ia have made a fine detective." . "You are very kind. But for everybody's sake it will be well not to mention thiB aifair." The count nodded assent After the spy incident the count.became very friendly and talked freely to me*on many subjects. The countess undoubtedly neglected her husband. Visitors kept pouring in, many of them members of the so-called "smart set." I did not like the appearance of several of the newcomers, and I was glad my cure was drawing to an end. Then a remarkable incident occurred? The countess had gone on one of her excursions with her male and female followers, the organizer of the party, as usual, being Rene Soudier. Bright, witty, excelling in all sports, Soud'tr was adored by the women and popular with the men, except with the count. The latter disliked him cor. dially, and rarely or- never spoke to him. The party had left after luncheon, and was not expected bsck before 7 o'clock. At three in the afternoon, as I returned from a walk, I saw the count walking up and down in front of the hotel. Something evidently had gone wrong. The moment he saw me he gripped my arm and led me to a secluded /spot in the garden. " M . jSfuibert," he began in an excitedVone which he tried hard to control? " M . Guibert, you proved yourself very ahrewd when you dealt with that ussian girl. Allow me to apply to you for advice. Mv wife's pearl necklace has been stolen. Do you mind accompanying; me up-staira?" The apartments the,couht occupied in the hotel consisted of a drawingjuom, his and his wife's bedroom, and their two dressing-rooms. Marfa, the countess' maid/slept at the end of the passage on the same floor, Tlie cou£t hatred of him and his desire to die him with the robbery rather told against the former, and gave rise to ugly presumptions. 1 am, however, s* you know, a pretty good reader of character, and 1 did not believe the count capable of a villany. There remained the countess, with whom during my stay at the hotel I had not exchanged half a dozen words. Do you. remember my three days' absence?"* "Yes; I guessed you had gone tt> Paris." "You guessed right. I arrived there in the early morning, and two hours later I knew that the countess' father; a broken-down absinthe-drinker, was* clerk to a money-changer and moneylender in the Boulevard St. Martin, who was once seriously compromised, in a case of stolen bonds. I k took a cab, and slowly drove past the place* when I saw our friend with Ahe shaven upper lip emerge from the office, «. small traveling-bag in his hand, and jump on a 'bus. His name, I was told at the hotel, is Ballu. I did not hesitate a second. I had seen through the window that the principal's private room at the back was empty, and that in the office were only a young maa behind a desk and a girl at a typewriter. I went in and asked for M . S. , the countess' father. " l i e has left us,' said the'clerk. "Returning to the station, I saw Ballu on the platform, and, unseen br him, we both arrived at the hotel at the same time. "I had already noticed that although Ballu and the countess never exchanged a word when others were present, their eyes often met, and when on the night of my return we sat down at the table d'hote a hardlr perceptible sign passed between them. Keeping them both well in sight, I saw Ballu at 9 o'clock stroll toward the end of the garden. He disappeared in the darkness, but I felt sure he had gone to the little summer-hous© facing the tepnis-lawn. "f soon arrived at the back of the little wooden structure, and felt relieved when I heard some one move inside. Half an hour later there came a light step. It was the countess. »Tbeir conversation, carried on in whisperB, did not last many minutes. Ballu's voice sounded hard, almost threatening, while that of the countess was imploring. Although I could not catch every word they said, I heard quite enough to be able to reconstruct the whole case. The moment to act had arrivee d. "The fstlowing morning as the futrntess crossed the haJJ~l walked up T h e p o o r l a d y s a t m o t i o n l e s s H e r v e r y l i p s t u r n e d w h -i t e . man, but not for the count and countess." Having dressed for dinner, we found the guests in the hall eagerly discussing the aifair, trying to extract particulars from the waiters and chambermaids. A11A at once there was a hush, for the door of the manager's room opened, and out came the count and his wife followed by a stout, redfaced, short man with gray whiskers. "That's M . Julien, the police commissary," some one said behind me. "I wonder," whispered Thibaut, "how that M. Julien will set to work?" "3o do I. With your permission, however, I shall remain in the background. M . Julien, fortunately, does not know me, but one of his subordinates might; and I do not want to depart from my position of spectator. This is M . Julien'a domajn. I also see new faces* Look at that close-shaven youth with the flower in Ibis buttonhole. Do you notice anything particular about him?" "No, I don't. "Look again. "I see nothing except that he gives me the impression of being a cad." -, "Watch his mouth." "Well, he seems to want with his teeth to catch something on his upper lip." "Yes, his moustache. It must have been there quite recently, and he la not yet accustomed to its absence." "It seems strange." "This may not be of any importance, but If I Were M . Julien I should take note of i t " ~ For two days I heard no news about {tie robbery, and was wondering how things .were progressing? when r was •* I hinted at this to M . Julien, but he apparently thinks that well-dresBed ladies and gentlemen cannot commit crimes." The next morning we heard that M . Julien was looking for a man, a waiter, discharged from the hotel for dishonesty, who, on the afternoon of the robbery, had been seen loitering near the house. He had since disappeared; and, as be had been on friendly terms with Marfa, M. Julien would certainly have arrested the girl if the countess had not interposed and vouched for her innocence, * In accordance with my promise to the count I had written to Paris, and the reply I received concerning Soudier was: "Heavily in debt. Loose morals. Raises money wherever he can." When I communicated this to the count his eyes lit up with a cruel fire. "This confirms my suspicions, M . Guibert. Remember my words—Soudier i s the thief." Thibaut was waiting for me downstairs. "Affairs seem at a standstill," be remarked to me. "Very much so. M . Julien is obstinate. He keeps a close watch on Btarfa, and in the meantime he is searching for a poor devil of a waiter. The count is jealous, and would, if he could, at once clap the handcuffs on the fascinating Soudier. The guests eye one another suspiciously, and so do the hotel officials. What a ghastly mess they are making of this business!" * "And* the countess? You don't mention her. What does she say?" I have not exchanged a word with aroused i n the morning by * loud Uier on the matter. But from what and threw a rose into our carriage. I placed It in my buttonhole and gave a sigh of relief. "I suppose that sigh has something t d , do with the case," said £iy observant friend. We had the complement to ourselves, and the train was scarcely out of the station when Thibaut called out: "And now please tell me all that occurred. You, too. must be anxious to unbosom yourself," he. added with a mischievous smile. "Oh, I shall conceal nothing. But, although I did not act in an official capacity, the story is of a delicate nature and I must request you not to divulge i t " "I give you my word." "It is a strange business, and was even deeper than I conjectured. The f. . t thing that struck me as odd, when the count took me to his wife's dressing-room, was that forced lock of the dressing-bag; I wondered who the lutlAtlc thief could be wbo lost .precious time over that lock, when, with nn ordinary penknife, he could have cut the leather in less than a minute. "You will, however, understand my diflculty, not having had charge of the case, and not having been-—like the police commissary—able to Investigate closely and question those likely to throw light upon the matter. I had to be guided partly by reasoning, partly by intuition; and the Inferences I drew were that the necklace had not been stolen, and that either the count or the countess—possibly both—had reasons for spreading that story of the robbefjrr "J assure you I never for an instant suspected Soudier; and the count's to her and said: " 'Please go to the library. I want to speak to you at once.' "She gave me a look of surprise and fear, and entered the room. " M a d a m e : I said, 'to you and yon alone I. will divulge who I am. I am M. Goron, chief of the Paris detective force. My object is to help you. know your father has appropriated— or is accused of having done so— money belonging to his employer, M . 11 . 1 know* you wanted to save him, and, not having the ready cash, you handed to M.

VERDIER'S B I L L . NITIATIVE A N D R E F E R E N D U M MAY WORK FOR LIQUOR M E N . View of the Matters of Moat Interest Which the Legislature Will Take Under Consideration at Once. [By Gurd M . Hayes.] Senator Leonard Verdier of Grand Rapids, who introduced the bill placing all state employes under civil' service, has the hearty co-operation and support of every man and woman now Dn the state pay roll. Whether it is a commendable bit of legislation seems ;o depend on one's position and political affiliations in Lansing. The father of this bill realizes that he has a vast army of volunteer lobbyists right on the job and this influence is bound to i>e felt. Whether it is given immediate • effect involves some question, but the ; passage of a civil service bill is conj ceded by every one in the legislature. "I am for civil service, but it should be made broad enough to eliminate parasites and dead ones at any time," sa]d Governor Ferris. "I haven't seen the bill," continued the governor in speaking of Senator Verdier's measure, "but 1 am for civil service. But at the same time I do not believe that it should be so drawn nor construed as to offer protection to political soft shelled crabs. It must be based on efficiency and political expediency should not be considered. Broaden Home Rule Bill. it) broaden the powers of the home rule bill and eliminate many of the objectionable features in the law is the object of a bill introduced in the upper house by Senator Verdier. It also paves the way for municipal ownership of public utilities. Under the Verdier bill cities may take advantage of the progressive fea- No Sale.

Mortgage Tax Law. Rep. A. H . Catlin, of Ingham, has introduced a bill to repeal the present mortgage tax law and place the taxation of mortgages on the old basis. The bill, lf~tThecomes a law, will not, however, affect the mortgages taxed under the specific system, as it cannot be made retroactive in the opinion of the attorney general who has been consulted in reference to the bill. Hep. Catlin says there is a great deal of sentiment in favor of repealing the present law, with which many state officials have found considerable fault. The Liquor Question. . Some of the so-called "dry" leaders in the legislature are wondering whether the initiative and referendum will militate in favor of the liquor interests of the state if ,this constitutional amendment is passed by the legislature and adopted by the people at the general election in 1914. -.Many of the statesmen who are apparently in favor of the initiative arid referendum are opposed to the domination of the'liquorc men in state affairs, but the rumor has reached Lansing to the sffect that the liquor men are preparing to use the initiative and referendum as an instrument to repeal the local option law, has caused some of the hearty advocates of this measure to stop and think. One man who is known to be in close touch with the liquor interests of the state is reported as saying that, given the initiative and referendum, the people will be given an opportunity to repeal the local option law that makes the county the unit on the wet and dry question, and that the foreign element in the cities would be sufficient to awing the question in favor of the wets. Ask for $400,000. Rep. Foote, of Kent, put in apropNation bills for the Jackson state prison calling for upwards of $400,000. These include $76,181 for rebuilding the caninng factory at the prison and $100,000 for a new cell block. For maintenance $324,077 is the figure and other expenses aside from the new cannery estimate. This includes $62,- 000 additional state reward fund and $100,000 fo> the purchase of farm land and $25,000 for farm buildings and the employment of prison labor. Cigarette Bill. If Rep. bunn, of Sanilac, and Rep. Bricker, of Ionia, have their way about It, there will be no more "paper pipes" sold in Michigan, as each of these members have introduced drastic anticigarette bills. At nearly every session some one puts in a measure placing the ban on the manufacture cud sale of cigarettes, but as a general rule the bill seldom gets beyond the committee stage. It is thought that there is but little chance of either bill passing. Proposes Swiss Election System. Rep. Kappler, of Houghton county, has introduced two proposals in the lower house that are considered somewhat revolutionary in their character. Both are concurrent resolutions. The first and most important of these is designed to establish an entirely new system of legislative representation in Michigan and is based on the representative system in vogue in Switzerland where the initiative and referendum came from. It will provide that the members of the house and senate be elected in accordance with the percentage of the vote. The resolution of course is to submit the necessary constitutional amendment to the people and it will be followed by a bill working out the details of the plan. Under this proposal districts will be established in which the representatives will be chosen by the percentage system. If two-thirds of the people vote the republican ticket and the district is entitled to three representatives, the republicans will have two of the three and if the democrats represent the other third they will have the third member, the vote to be at large in each district. Rep. Kappler declares the present system disfranchises the minority party no matter how close they come to winning and sees his plan as the only fair solution of the problem. The second resolution presented by Kappler is addressed to congress and urges the necessary constitutional and statutory amendments to provide for the convening of the incoming congress and administration with the first day of January of the year following the election. Kappler sees no reason why congress should hold over for more than six months after its defeat by the people. The Trunk Line Roads. Going deeper into the idea of trunk line statS^-oads, Senator Alswede, of Bay county, finds that such a large proportion of the original trunk line highway route is already improved and that he can add another north and south line to the original proposal and still remain in the $',000,000 appropriation. To this end, he has outlined a third or east coast line road from Detroit through Flint, Saginaw, Tawas, A l - pena, Cheboygan to Mackinac. With this road he will have three north and south lines, one on tb^ a n t r a l mo ri4- an and another on the west shore starting at Niles and following the Lake Michigan coast. The cross state line is from Detroit to St. Jospeh. The proposal calls for a total of 1,300 miles, of which 300 already is improved, b l o w i n g $2,d00 per mile and using convict labor Senator A l - swede says the work can be kept within the $2,000,000 appropriation that represents one-half of the automobile ^ S E E N A N D H E A R D I N M I C H I G A N J Detroit. — Fifty members of the Michigan State Millers' association attended the opening convention session of the organization at the chamber of commerce.

Morrice.—The Wallace schoolhouse. which stands between Perry and Shaftsburg, was found to be on fire from the Interior. Edward Hath saw a light in the schoolhouse and investigated. A general alarm was turned in and the building waa saved. The teacher's desk, books and chair were destroyed and a hole burned in the floor, which tipped ove? the stove. There will be no school until the insurance agent can adjust the loss, and the building repaired. Miss Gladys Ketchum, the teacher, thinks that a large chunk in the stove? tipped/Over and struck the stove door Just-right to unlatch it, letting the coals out on the floor. It is thought that the insurance will cover the loss. Lansing.— Senator Frank James of Hancock has received a petition signed by Jacob and Marie Louhkola of Houghton, asking that the governor and legislature direct the Houghton coijnty board of auditors to care for them. The petitioners are the parents of Elmer, deceased, a seventeenyear- old member of Company G., Third Michigan infantry, who was killed July 15, 1907, while engaged in rifle practice^ Lansing—Oh joy!

Because of the fact that the senate is slow about reporting out the appointment of John T. Winship, who was the selection for Governor Ferris as insurance commissioner to succeed C. A. Palmer the first of next July, some of the democrats in the legislature are inclined to the belief that the republicans are simply playing a smooth game to rob them of some of the patronage. Senator .Verdeer* has already intrc*' duced a bill putting all state employes on a civil service basis. Governor Ferris is known to favor such a measure, and the democratic state platform i9: pledged to support such a bill. Howerer, Verdier's bill carries an appropriation clause that gives it immediate effect, and inasmuch as it further provides that all the present employes shall be retained, the democrats will have few jobs to distribute. It makes little difference whether or not the senate confirms Winship's appointment, as the governor will be able to put him in Palmer's place after the legislature has adjourned. A Political Squall. Some of the members of the legislature are objecting to the selection of the temporary chairman of the republican state convention to be held in Lansing, February 11, and announce that they will protest against Allan Frazer from the floor of the convention. With two exceptions every republican in the legislature signed a petition asking the state central committee to name Senator W. Frank • James, of Hancock, as the presiding officer, and the belligerent statesmen announce that they want either Chase S. Osborn or Senator James. ^""kee, Clyde Leavitt of Ottawa, Can.; - - W i l l i a m G. Howard of Albany, W i l l i a m - L ^ ^ uqar—imure.

Rioting has broken out a l \ over Constantinople, many persons have been killed and more wounded following fae assasslnation-of Nazim Pasha, com mander of the Turkish army, during the demonstration against the declaration of peace with the Balkan states and the cession of Adrianople. The new TurkiBh cabinet, organized on the resignation of the peace cabinet which voted to comply with the demands of the Balkan allies, has instructed the peace delegates in Lon- j srrfption~last ^ don to return to Constantinople. The Ottoman ambassadors at Vienna and St. Petersburg have also been recalled. Enver Bey, the most spirited leader of the Young Turks, was appointed chief of the general staff of the army, to succeed Nazim Pasha. Nazim Pasha was shot add killed from a window by Enver Bey and Talatt Bey after Nazim's aide-de-camp had opened fire at the new leaders. He was nearly 60 a^nd was characterized" as the best conmmander-in-chief Turkey possessed in recent times. He was minister of war in the first Kiamil cabinet. The crisis in the affairs of the empire came as the result of the cabinjet's proposal to buy peace with the Balkan states by turning over Adrianople and the Aegean islands. It was against the sacrifice of Adrianople, the ancient Turkish capital, that the people rebelled. T H E M A R K E T S .

Often before a sufferer realizes what tbe trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna Kounz, 21 x Mechanic St., Pueblo, Colo., says: "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration; I was unable to do any house work and doctors « fajled to help me. Remedies I tried from 'druggists did not do » f a particle of good. A neighbor told my husband about D r . M i l e e ' N e r v i n e * and he procured a bottle. After the first few doses I showed a marked improvement and after taking two - bottles I was entirely cured. I have been perfectly well for years and cannot praise D r . Miles* Nervine too highly." If you are troubled with loss o f appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are i n a general run down condition and unable to bear your pari of the daily grind of life, you need some* thing to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the mat* tcr with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment D r . M i W N e r v i n e has proven its iblue in nervous diaordera for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter W w many other wjnedics have failed ^ heljrAyou, ftfo to MifiMt your money It mutr m i o i o a l 0 ¾ ~ m V •(, Note Extra information that can be shown with the item.

NINE " B R Y A N S " IN CABINET." "WILSON'S BuHesque on Woman's Suffrage and Democracy Feature h'rolicsome Evening in Washington. A rollicking farewell was given to {he Taft administration at the annual dinner of the Gridiron club. At the same time the club members took advantage of their last opportunity to play another joke on President Taft and those associated with him in his administration of the national government. With 'Uncle Joe" Cannon, and others whose official days in Washington end March 4, the president was made the target for many a witty shaft. The president was honored with a great ovation, however, and invited to attend every future dinner of the club. Both President Taft and former Speaker Cannon opened their hearts to the club members'and spoke feelingly of their days in Washington, now so nearly at an end. The adventure of the Bull Moose, and the probable fate awaiting Prcident- elect. Wilson and his advisers, were portrayed in the absurd tunny fashion which originated wilh the Gridiron club. There were even an inaugural parade, and it was witnessed by a splendid array of cabinet officers, foreign ambassadors and others. The guests had hardly seated themselves at the tables in the beautifully decorated ball room of the New Willard hotel, and admired the mortarboard cap inkstand souvenirs in reminder of President Taft's new role as Yale professor when a tremendous boom, boom of basis drums was heard from behind the scenes and the fun was on. P A S S E S S I X ^ i T E A R T E R M : Senate Takes Action That Will Shut Out Teddy, Taft and Wilson. The first step was taken in the senate toward the adoption of a constitutional amendment fixing the term of president of the United States at six years and making the chief executive ineligible, to succeed himself. By a vote of 47 to 23, .the Works single term resolution was adopted by the senate. The advocates of the reform succeeded in mustering just two more than the necessary twothirds. Under the terms of the resolution as it passed the senate, Colonel Roosevelt, Mr. Taft and Woodrow Wilson are eliminated from the field of possibilities for the presidency in future contests. The resolution, if it should be ratified by three-fourths of the states before the expiration of Mr. Wilson's term will, however, have the effect of adding two years to his tenure, giving him a six instead of a,four year term. The resolution now goes to the house and the likelihood is that it will be passed by that body by^-a more decisive vote than resulted in the senate. 2,00(^000 Britons to Strike for 8 Hours.

The house adopted the resolution first, but Rep/Charles Flowers, of Detroit, moved that it be reconsidered. Flowers asserted that the state has not the right to own and operate railroads.

The Branch County Teachers' institute met in Colwater, over 250 teachers being in attendance. Addresses New York, Jan, 27.—In .order that the public mk,ht better understand the Bureau of Social Hygiene, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., today gave out a statement explaining the origin, work and plans of that institution. The bureau, Jie said, came into existence a])out two years ago as a result of tho work of a special grand jury appointed to investigate the white slave traffic in New York city. This jury recommended that a public commission be appointed to study the social evil. Mr. Rockefeller was foreman of that grand jury and he thereafter gave the subject deep thought and conferred with a large number of leading men and women. 'These conferences," says Mr. Rockefeller, "developed the feeling that a public commission would labor under a number of disadvantages, such as the fact that it would be short lived; that its work would be done publicly; that at best it could hardly do more than present recommendations. So the conviction grew that in order to make a real and lasting improvement in conditions, a permanent organization should be created, the continuation of which would not be dependent upon a temporary wave of reform, nor upon the life of any man or group of men, but which would go on generation after generation, continuously making warfare against the forces of evil. It also appeared that a private organiza- * tion would have, among* other advantages, a certain freedom from publicity and from political bias, which a publicly appointed commission could not so easily avoid. "Therefore, as the initial step, in the winter of 1911 the Bureau of Social Hygiene was formed. Its present members are Miss Katharine Bement Davis, superintendent of the New York state reformatory for women at Bedford Hills, N . Y . ; Paul M. Warburg, "oFTfre firm of Kuhn, Lorjb & Co., Starr J. Murphy, of the New York bar, and John D. Rockefeller, Jr. A s tl^e work develops new members may be added. "One of the first things undertaken by the bureau was the establishment at; Bedford Hills, adjacent to the reformatory, of a laboratory of social hygiene, under Miss Davis' direction. In this laboratory it is proposed to study from the physical, mental, social and moral side each person committed to the reformatory. This^Eudy will bo carried on by experts and each case will be kept under observation for from three weeks to three months, as may be required. When the diagnosis is completed, it is hoped that the laboratory will be . in position to recommend the treatment most likely to individual, or, if reformation is impossible, to recommend permanent custodial care. Furthermore, reaching out beyond the individuals involved, it is believed tin* tlus important contributions may be made to a fuller knowledge of the conditions ultimately responsible for vice. If this experiment is successful the principle may prove applicable to all classes of criminals and the conditions precedent to crime, a'nd lead to Unes of action not only more scientific and humane but also less wasteful than th"ose at present followed." The Young Bride's First Discovery. i Tlieir wedding tour had ended* and they entered their new home to settle down to what they hoped to be one long uninterrupted blissful honeymoon. But alas! the young bride's troubles soon began, when she tried to reduce the cost of living with cheap big can baking powders. She soon discovered that all 3he got was lot for her money, and it was not ail .uking powder, for the bulk of it was fteap materials which had no leavening power. Such powders will not make light, wholesome food. And because of the absence of leavening gas, it requires from two to three times as much to raise cakes or biscuits as i i does of Calumet Baking: Powder. ^ , . . Thus, eventually, the actual cost to you of cheap baking powders is more than Calumet m-ouM be. Cheap baking powders o|«?n leave Lie bread bleached and aeid»\;*6metimes yellow and alkaline, and often unpalatable. They are not always of uniform strength and'quallty. .. ,. Now the bride buys Calumet—the perfectly wholesome baking powder, moderate In price, and always uniform and reliable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes good cooking* easy, and is certainly the most economical after all.

A certain New York hotel manager is one of those nervous men who constantly warn their employes against keeping them in ignorance of any happening around the place. He hir^d a new bell boy recently, and gave him the usual warning: 'Remember/* he warned, "if any» thing happens around here I'm to be the first person to, know about it." Soon after that he was showing three haughty Daughters of the Confederacy one of the best rooms in the; place, when the new bell boy rushed in with his hair on end. 'Something's happened!" he yelled. The three Daughters of the Confederacy turned coldly, and the manager, anxious to get rid of the bcry, demanded to know the trouble. "That old cat down stairs/1 said the boy, "has just had kittens! What shall we do?" The rotigh. manager's suggestion was f Not a Complaint. "Miss IVow*n," said the art inspector, pausing before a student's easel, "you might with all propriety worship that drawing of yours." The poorest pupil in the class looked up, surprised and pleased. "I'm so glad you like it, sir.' But why—why—" "The Bible expressly commands us not, to worship tho likeness—of" anything in tho heavens above or in the earth beneath, does it uot?" That its work might be done intelligently the bureau employed George J. Kneeland to make a comprehensive survey of vice conditions in New York, and Abraham Flexner to study the social evil In Europe, and their reports are now being prepared. These studies will be followed by others in various American cities, and it is the hope of the bureau that based upon a l l k of them, may be devised a practical plan for dealing with the social evil. In conclusion Mr. Rockefeller's statement says: "It caiinotN^e too strongly emphasized that the spirit which dominates the work of the bureau is not sensational or sentimental or hysterical; that it is not a spirit of criticism of public officials; but that it is essentially a spirit of constructive suggestion and of deep scientiftc as well as humane interest in, will request a 'physician's certificate were made by Prof. C.

Hand already, earlier in the day, had made a path for himself up the steep bank through the underbrush, and now Agatha went with him to the edge of tho thicket. She watched and listened until the faint rustling of his footsteus ceased, then turned went to the fire and stirred up its J 4 to the camp on" to the fire and coala once more before returning to ..Tames. He was sleeping, but his Hushed face and unnatural breathing were signs of i l l . Now and then he moved restlessly, or seemed to try to speak, but no coherent words came. She sat down to watch by Mm. After Agatha and James had been brought ashore by the capable Mr. Hand, it-had needed only time to bring Agatha back to consciousness. Both she and James .had practically tainted from exhaustion, and James ihad been nearly drowned, at the last Iminute. Agatha had been left on the rocks to come to herself as sho would, while Hand had rubbed and pummeled James until the blood flowed again. It had flowed too freely, indeed, at some time during his ordeal; and ttay trickles of blood showed on his lips. Agatha, dazed and aching, was trying to crawl up to the sand when Hand came back to her, running lightly over the slippery rocks. They had come in on the flowing tide, which had aided them greatly; and •new Hand helped her the short distance to the cove and mercifully let her lie, while he went back to his work for James. Later he had got a little bucket, used for bailing out tho rowboat, and dashed hurriedly into the thicket above after some tinkling cowbells Though she was too tired to question him, Agatha supposed he had tied one of the cows to a tree, since ho returned three or four times to fill the pail. What a wonderful life-giver uiiilk was! She had drunk her fill and had tried to feed it to James, who at first tasted eagerly, but had, on the whole, taken very little. He was only i*artly awake, but he shivered and weakly murmured that he was cold. Agatha quickly grew stlonger; and she and Hand set to work to prepare the fire and the bed. Almost while they were at this labor, the sun had gone down. Sitting by Jim's couch, Agatha grew sleepy and cold, but there were no more coverings. Hand's coat was .over Jim, and as Agatha herself felt the cold more keenly she tucked it closer about him. Alone as she was now, in solitude with this man who had saved her from tho waters, with darkness and the night again coming :on, her spirit shrank; not so much from fear, as from that premonition •of the future which now and then assails the human heart. As she knelt by Jim's side, covering his feet with tho coat and heaping the fir boughs over him, she paused to look at his unconscious face. She knew now that he did not belong to the crew of the Jeanne D'Arc; but of his outward circumstances she knew nothing more. Thirty she guessed him to be, thereby coming within four yearB of the truth. His short mustache concealed his mouth, and his eyes were closed. It was almost like looking at the mask of a face. The rough beard of a week's growth made a deep shadow over the lovable. But beyond this, what sort of man was he? Agatha could not tell. She had seen many men of many types, and perhaps she recognized James as belonging to a type; but if so, it was the type that stands for the best of New England stock. In the centuries back it may have brought forth fanatics and extremists; at times it may have built up its narrow walls of prejudice and pride; but at the co-re it was sound and manly, and responsive to the call of the spirit. Something of all this passed through Agatha's mind, as she tried to read Jim's face; then, as bestirred uneasily and tried to throw off the light boughs that she had spread over him. Bhe got up and went to the edge ot the water to moisten afresh the bandage for his forehead. Involuntarily sho shuddered at sight of the dark water, though the lapping waves, pushing up farther and farther with the incoming tide, were gentle enough to soothe a child. She hurried back to Jim's couch and laid the cooling compress, across hi3 forehead. The balsam boughs about them breathed their fragrance on the night air, and the pleasant gloom rested their tired eyes. Gradually he quieted down again; his restlessness ceased. The long twilight deepened into darkness, or rather into that thin luminous blue shade which is the darkness of starlit summer sea washed the beach c-aressT But Mr. little hi' isn't any v ith rEs^TOrtmmiig' caress? somewhere in tho thicket above a nightbird called. -in a cranny of the rocks Agatha hollowed out the sand, still warm beneath the surface here wfiere the sun had lain on it through long summer days, and made for herself a bed and coverlet and pillow all at once. With the sand piled around and over her, she could not really suffer; and she was mortally tired. She looked up toward the clear stars, Vega and_the jeweled cross almost in the zenith, and ruddy Antares in the body of the shining Scorpion. They were watching her, she thought, tonight in her peace as they had watched her last night in her struggle, and as they would watch after all her days and nights were done. And then she thought no more. Sleep, blessed gift, descended upon her. C H A P T E R X . hear Tho Heart of Youth. "Agatha Redmond, can ycu me?" She caught the voice faintly, as if it were a child's cry. "I'm right here, yes; only wait just a s.ccond." She could not instantly free herself from her sandy coverings, but she was wide awake almost at the first words James had spoken. Paint as the voice had been, she recognized the natural_.. _tonea\—thai as- J&eU^ while he drank, almost greedily. As he sank back on his bed he whispered: "You are very good to take care of me." "Oh. no; I'm only too glad! And now I'm going to build up the fire again; your hands are quite cold." "No, don't go," he pleaded. "Please stay here; I'm not cold any more. And you must go to sleep again. 1 ought not to have wakened you; and, really, I didn't mean to." "Yes you ought. I've had lots of sleep; I don't want any more." "It's dark, but it's better than it was that other night, isn't it?" said James. "Much better," answered Agatha. James visibly gathered strength from tho milk, and presently he took some more. Agatha watched, and when he had finished, patted him approvingly on the hand. "Good boy! You've dor^e very well," she cried. "I was so thirsty, I thought the whole earth had run dry- Will you think me very ungrateful if T say now I wish it had been water?" "Oh. no; I wish so, too. Hand could only get us a from a spring, for there other pail." It was some time before Jim made out to inquire, "Who's Mr. Hand?" . "He's the man that helped us—out of the water—when we became exhausted." Agatha hesitated to speak of the "right's experience, uncertain how far Jim's memory carried him, and not knowing how a sick man, in hia weakness, might be affected. Still, now thalj he seemed almost himself again, save for the chill, she* ventured to refer to the event, speaking in a matter-of-fact way, as if such endurance tests were the most natural events in the world. James' speech was quite coherent and distinct, but very slow, as if the efforts to speak came from tho depths of a profound fatigue. "Hand—that's a good name for him. T thought it was the hand of God. which plucked me, like David, or Jonah, or some such person, out of the seething billows. But I didn't think of there being a man behind." Then, after a long silence, "Where is he?" "He's gone off to find somebody to help us get away from here; a carriage or wagon of some sort, and some food and clothes." Something caused Jim to ejacu'ate, though quite feebly. "You poor thin?:!" And then he asked, very slowly, "Where is •1161-0'?" "I don't know; and Mr. Han^ doesn't know " "And we've lost our tags," laughed Jim faintly. Agatha couldn't resist the Jaush, though the' weakness in Jim's voice was almost enough to make her weep 1 hope," said Agathk, swallowing her misgivings. "That's good," said Jamcy. "I think I'il be about and good for something myself by that time." Tnero was another long pause, so long that Agatha thought James must have geno to sleep again. He thought likewise of her, it appeared; for when he next spoke it was in a, careful whisper; "Are you still awake, Agatha Redmond?" "Yes, indeed; quite. Do you want anything?" "Yea, a number of things. First, are you quite recovered from the trouble—that night's awful trouble?" He seemed to be wholly lost as to time "Did you come off without any serious injury? Do you look like yourself, strong and rosy-cheeked agajn?" Agatha replied heartily to this/and her answer appeared to satisfy James for the moment. "Though," she added, "here in the dark, who can tell whether I have rosy cheeks or not?" "True!" sighed James, but his sigh was not an unhappy one. Presently he began once more: "I want to know, too. if you weren't surprised that. I knew your name?" "Well, yes a little, when I had time to think about it. How did you know it?" James laughed. I meant to keep it a secret, always; but' I guess I'll tell, after all—just you. I got it from the program, that Sunday, you know." "Ah, yes, I understand." She didn't quite understand, at first; for there had been other Sundays and other songs. But she could not weary him now with questions. As they lay there the slow, monotonous susurrus of the sea made a deep accompaniment to their words. It was near, and yet immeasurably far. filling the universe with its soft but Insistent sound and echoes of sound. At tho back of her mind, Agatha heard it always, low, threatening, and strong; but on the surface of her thoughts, she was trying to decide what she ought to do. She was thinking whether she might question her companion a little concerning himpelf, when he answered her, in part, of his own accord. "You couldn't know who T am, of course; James Hambleton, of Lynn. Jim, Jimmy, Jimsy, Bud—I'm called most anything. But I wanted to tell yo.i—in fact, that's what I waked up* exnrossly for—I. wanted to tell you—" lie paused so long, that- Agatha loaned over, trying to see his face. The violence of the chill had passed. wide—open, hi a face always be different to h<rt>> «-«f ?eat?on of that night and what sha cttose to term his sp\en<$d heroieta.* She had seen him in his hour of strength, that hour when the overman makes halfgods out of mortals. It was the heart of youth, plus the endurance of the man, that had saved them both. It had tieen a call to action, dauntlessly answered, and he himself had avowed that the struggle, the effort, even the final pain, were "worth living for!" Thinking of his white face and feeble voice, she prayed that the high gods might not regard them worth dying /or. lower part of his face; and yet, behind the mask, she thought she could see some token of a real man, not without his attributes of divinity. In the ordeal of the night before he had shown the highest order of patience, endurance and courage, together with u sweetness of temper that was itself strongest he had uttered since coming out of the water. The night had grown cold and dark, and at first she was a trifle bewildered. She was also stiff and sore, almost beyond bearing. She had to creep along the sand to where Jim lay. The fire had burned wholly out, and the sand felt damp as she crawled over it. When she came near, she reached out her hand and laid it on Jim's forehead. He was shivering with cold. "You poor man! And I sleeping while I ought to be taking care of jou! I'll make the fire and get some milk; there is still a little left." As she tried to make her aching bones lift her to her feet, she became aware that the man was fumbling at his coverings and trying to say something. She bent down to hear his words, which were incredibly faint. * "I don't want any fire or any milk. I only wanted to know if you wereii'all there," he said diffidently, as if ashamed of his childishness. She leaned over him, speaking gently and touching his head softly with her firm, cold hands. "You're a little better now, aren't you, after your sleep? Don't you feel d little stronger?" "Yes, I'm better, lots better," he whispered. "J must have been sleeping for ages. When I woke up I thought I had. a beastly chill or something; but I'm all right now; only suddenly 1 felt as if I m u s t know If you were there, and if it was you." He smiled at his own words, and Agatha was reassured. "t think you'll be still better for a little milk." she said, and crept away to get the pail, which had been' hidden on a shelf of rock. When she came back with it, James tried manfully, to sit up; but Agatha4 slipped an arm under his neck, in skilful nurse fashion, and held the bucket "Yes, we've the pity. Mr. lost our tags, more's Hand thinks we're either on the coast of Maine, .or on an Island somewhere near the coast. I myself think it must at least be Nova Scotia, or possibly Newfoundland But Hand will find out and bp back soon, and then we'll get away from here and go to some place where vre'Jl all be comfortable." Agatha stole away, and with much difficulty succeeded in kindling the flro again. She tended it until a good steady heat spread over the rocks, and then returned to James. She curled up, half sitting, half lying, against th* rocks. Clouds had risen during tho recent hours, and1 it was much darker than the night fefore had been. The ocean, washing Its million pebbles up on the little beach, moaned and cpmplained incessantly. In the long interval between their talk. Agatha's head would her eyes would close, and she would almost sleep; but an undercurrent of anxiety concerning her companion kept her always at the edfee of consciousness. James himself appeared to have no desire to sleep. He was trying to piece together, in his mind, his conscious and unconscious memories At last he said* .. "I guess I haven't been much good —for a while—have I?" Agatha considered before replying. "You were quite exhausted, I think; and we feared you might be i l l " "And Ha^dy Andy got my job?" She laughed outright at this, as much fcr the feeling of reassurance it gave her as for the jest itself. "Handy Andy certainly had a Job, with U3 two on his hands!" vshe laughed. \ "I bet he did!" cried James, with more vigor than he had shown before. "He's a great man: I'm for him! When's he coming back?" alarmingly pale. She felt a sudden qualm of pain, lest illness and exhaustion had wrought havoc in his frame deeper than she knew. Hut as sho bent over him, his features lighted up with his rare smile—an expression full of happiness and peace. He lifted a hand, feebly, and she took it in both her own. Sho felt that thus, hand in hand, they were nearer; that thus she could better be of help to him. "I wanted to tell you," he began again, "that whatever happens, I'm glad I did it." "Did what, dear friend?" questioned Agatha, thinking in her heart that the fever had set his wits to wandering. "Glad I followed the Face and the Voice," he answered feebly. Agatha watched him closely, torn with anxiety. She couldn't bear to see him suffer—this man who had so suddenly become a friend, who had been so bravo and unselfish for Iter sake, who had been so cheerful throughout their night of trouble. "I told old Aleck." James went on. "that I'd have to jump the fence; but that was ages ago. I've been harnessed down so long that I thought I'd gone to slrep, sure enough." Agatha thought certainly that now he was delirious, but sho had no heart to stop his gentle earnestness. He went on: "But you woke me up. And—f -wouWnH . have missed this last run, net for anything. Twa3 a great night, that night on the water, with you; and whatever happens, I shall always think that worth living for; yes, well worth living for." James' voice died away into incoherence and at last into silence. Agatha, holding his hands in hers, watched him as he sank away from her into some realm whither she could not follow. Either his hour of sanity and calmness had passed, and fever had taken hold upon his system; or fatigue, mental and physical, had overpowered him once more. Presently she dropped his hand gently, looked to the coverings of his couch, ahd settled herself down again to rest. But no more sleep came to her eyes that night. She thought over all that James had said, remembering his1 words vividly. Then her thoughts went back over the years, recalling she knew not what irrelevant matters from the past. Perhaps by some underlying law of association, there came to her mind, also, tho words of the song she had Rung on tho Sunday which James had referred to— "Free cf my pain, free of my burden of sorrow, * At last I shall see thee—" C H A P T E R X L The Home Port. The darkness of the night slowly lifted, revealing only a gray, leaden sky. There was no dawn such as had gladdened their hearts the morning before, no fresh awakening of the day. Instead, the coldness and gloom of the night seemed but to creep a little farther away, leaving its shadow over the world. A drizzling rain began to fall, and the wanderers on the beach were destined to a new draft of misery. Only Agatha watched, however; James gave no sign of caring, or even of knowing, whether the sun shone or hid its face. He had slept fitfully since their hour of wakefulness together in the night, and several times he had shown signs of extreme restlessness. At these periods he would talk incoherently, Agatha being able to catch ^only a word now and then. Once he'endeavored to get up, bent, apparently, upon performing soma fancied duty far away. Agatha soothed him, talked to him as a mother talks to a sick child, cajoled and commanded him; and though he was restless and voluble, yet he obeyed her readily enough. As the rain began to descend, Agatha bethought herself earnestly as to what could be done. She first persuaded James to drink a little more of the milk, and afterward took what was left herself—less than half a cupful. Then she set the bucket out to catch the rain. She felt keenly the neod of food and water; and now that there was no one to heed her movements, oho found it difficult to keep up the show of courage. She still'trusted in Hand; but even at best he might yet be several hours in returning; and cold and hunger can reduce even the stoutest heart. If Hand did not return —but there was no answer to that if. She believed he would come. The soft rain cast a pall over the ocean, so that only a small patch of sea was visible; and it flattened the lvim?y=flntil (lie blue flushing, wJute^ capped sea of yesterday was now a smooth, gmy {surface, touehed hero and ih'>r" by a bit of frothy scum. Agatha looked out through the deep curtain of mist, remembering the night, the Joanne D'Arc, and her recent peril. Most vividly of all sho heard In her memory a voice shouting, "Keep up! I'm coming, I'm coming!" Ah, what a Welcome coming that'had been! Was he to die, now, here on her hands, after the worst of their struggle was over? She turned quickly back to James, vowing In her heart it should nqt be; she would save him if it lay in human power to save. Her hardest task was to move their camp up into the edge of the brushwood, whero they might have tho shelter of the trees. There was a place, near the handle of the sickle, where the rock-wall partly . disappeared, and the undergrowth from tho cliff reached almost to the beach. It was from hero that Hand had begun his ascent; and hero Agatha chose a place under a clump of bayberry, \^fcero she could make another bed for James. The ground there was still comparatively dry. She coaxed James to his feet and helped him, with some difficulty, up to the more sheltered spot. He was stronger, physically, now in his delirium than he had b^en during his period of sanity in the night. She made him sit down while she ran back to gather an armful of the fir boughs to spread out for his bed; but she had scarcely started back for the old camp before James got to his feet and staggered after her. She met him just as she was returning, and had to drop her load, take her patient by the arm, and guide him back to the new shelter. He went peacefully enough, but leaned on her more and more heavily, until at last his knees weakened unde* hiin and ho fell. Agatha's heart sraofr* her. (TO B E CONTINUED.) What ages it was since she had sung that song! And this man, this James Hambleton, it appeared, had heard her sing it; and somehow, by fate, he had been tossed into the same adventure with herself; Unconsciously, Agatha's generous heart began to swell with pride in James* strength and courage, with gratitude* for his goodness to her, and with an aimost motherly pity for his present plight fcjfle would admit no more than that; but that,, she thought, bound her to him by ties jthat would never break. Ho would Tried Trick Once Too Often. A man of seventy-five, who of re cent years had extorUd money from charitable persons, in Paris, by pretending to commit suicide, has fallen a victim to his ingenuity. He used to fasten a rope, attached to the ceiling, about his neck with an easy running noose. Then, having knocked over the furniture, he would overturn the chair on which he was standing and remain hanging by the rope. Alarmed by the noise, the neighbors would rush in and cut htm down.- After using revived ho would depict his state of distress in such moving language that money would be forthcoming for his relief. Later he would repeat the trick in another house, invariably with success. But a few days ago^ when he was carrying out the trick, there was a hitch. No one went to his help and he remained hanging, being eventually cut down dead.

On the Mississippi river in olden days the passenger steamboats were very ornate affairs, vying with each other in garish glory. One owner hit on the idea of naming his steamboat's cabins instead of numbering them. So he named them in honor of tho states of the union, each having above the door the gilt title of some state, the big central cabin being called the "Texas," after the largest state. Other boat owners took up the idea, and thus the word cabin was gradually alternated by "state" room. Tor years the best cabin was still known as the Texas. Then, that sobriquet died with the ebbing glory of the old river steamers. But the word "stateroom" became incorporated into our language, and In time even broke into the .dictionary, a i does many another catch phrase. Not one person in a thousand who occupies a stateroom knows the term once meant "a room named for a state." Brightening Flower Pots.

A n d frequently tho commission of an* open deed of wrong is no more than a matter of circumstances. You and 1, for instance, hoth have anger in our hearts.

Very often-it is some chance, some peculiar combination of circumstances, that pushes a man from the realm of decent, law-abiding prx>ple over the line into the alleged criminal class. This is particularly true of the more serious offences. The wardens of the penitentiaries wili tell you that the-quietest, best behaved inmates are the murderers. The reason is that very few murderers are hardened criminals. Their offense is usually one of sudden passion. That there are criminal natures there can be no doubt. Then? arc moral perverts, some of them practically incurable. For the good of society they should be confined somewhere away from other people. A l l the rascals are not in jail, nor all the straight, square men out of jail. The administration of justice will always be faulty so long as ft i.s merely a department of law which can look only at the deed done and can do no other than punish the offender or let him go. Criminology is a science and should be studied by scientific methods. A depraved taste, weak will or distorted moral sense needs a physician as much as does a had liver or a deranged mind. Crime is a thing to be healed, not punished. Remove crime conditions and cure the criminal. Th: tl.ould be 11.c aim. R e a l t v M a n n e r s a n d M o r a l s S t a r t e d W e l l By L. t.

To me it seemed little less than a crime for a man to occupy a seat while a woman was standing. Experience and observation have taughl me to modify this view and the average forced the conclusion that man is just a* considerate as the average woman* if not more so. I could name specific instances where women have "hogged it" on the street car* with their bundles and basket? and children and eccentricities of dress that would put to shame the veriest street-car hog of the masculine gender. And this reminds me that if ihe good women who are trying to reform the world through the press, at the clubs and by means of the ballot would devote more of their time to the nursery, where real manners and real morals are developed, there would be less need of complaint ,sgainst the frailties of mere man, for as the twig is bent so shall it grow.

FRANK CRANE, Chicago There are dreams one forgets with^the head but remembers with the heart. The details of them leave us. It all is confused, blurred in the memory, as if clouds had grouped to form some clear picture and had instantly been blown all a-fangle by the wind. But the dream stavs on in the heart. Perhaps it was sad, all night we waded 'through heart breaking; and in the morning, though ihe pictures and words are pone, the aroma of them remains, and at no time of the day are we very far from weeping. Perhaps it was g ^ d , and though wc cannot remember the melody we sang in the dream, echoes of it keep failing aH through the hours of waking. It is as though the soul bad found, somewhere in the bounds of darkness, a secret pool of emotion, had fallen therein and come to the gates of morning dripping wet with some unknown feeding. We might make more allowance for what souls do when awake if we knew whither they had fared and what they had suffered in the caverns of sleep. Sometimes one is silent because one is full of these unspeakable memories, and words seem profane. Then he knows what the philosopher Publius Syrus meant: "Keep still or say something better than silence." Interest in vocational education is not confined to any particular part of the country. It is being stimulated, for example, in Philadelphia, where the Public Education association has l>een making a study of the occupations of youths who have left school to go to work and whose future might be infinitely brightened if they were permitted to continue their schooling part of the time. At a recent meeting of the board of directors of that body figures were given out showing that 43 per cent, of the children between the ages of fourteen-and sixteen years whoxare at work in Philadelphia are employed i n factories; 20 per cent, i n stores and 13 per cent, iji domestic servjee; only 3 per cent, of those employed are i n skilled trade* Forty-two who are at work get less than $20 and 710 get $6 or jnore a week. 1 " B e t t e r T r a i n i n g N e e d e d F o r Y o u t h By M.

She folded the paper and thrust it into the butler's hands. "Send it. Hurry,' she ordered and watched him until Ire left the room. "But, Adele—" her father began. "Please don't argue," she smiled. "It Is settled." "But where is this Iquitos place, and why should anybody go there?" "I haven't the slightest idea," she said firmly. "Then why in the aame of commo/i sense--" "Because peorge evidently wants me to." That's how It came about that Mrs I Converse, Dr. Converse and their i three-year-old baby Jack are today on ! a lUtle steamer, chugging up the Amazon river, on their way to Iquitos. Peru; threading the channel westward through a matted forest which howls with monkeys and flashes emerald and turquoise and is <-carlet with tropical birds and butterflies. They're going to the vortex of a loathsome whirlpool. Around them wild Indians will slay each other, brigands will rob; within a day's rido of fortune, determined to go back to civilization rich. Disease will be everywhere. Life can be bought for a pound of crude rubber. Money, money-- money at any sacrifice, that is the code in the forests about Iquitos. Would Brook No Delay. So quickly did she act, this daughter of a banker man3r times a millionaire, that she had her trunks packed and her passage to New York engaged before she received a letter from her husband, telling the details "of this expedition into the heart <9t the rubber forests of Peru. Comforts, luxuries, entertainments; without regret she turned from them to go to fight side by side with her husband who had been chosen by the Peruvian government to bring health into the most disease-ridden city in the world. As for his going alone—that was impossible. In the first place, Mrs. Converse wouldn't have consented to a separation for two years. In the sec- -oiui. hlo duHub in Death's favorite rec^ r«aticn ground were such that' he would need the aid of his wife. Before accepting the Peruvian mission. Dr. Converse talked the matter over with his brother officers in the service. They told him that his ojiI.v chance to live to clean up a tropical pesthole that is menacing health at the Panama canal would be to set up in Iquitos a personal establishment, governed by the strictest rules of hygiene. He must live In a rat-proof and insect- proof house, which must be kept, sterilized from top to bottom to kill the death 'loafing in the miasmic air of the jungle. Utensils must be scalded always before use; all food must, be cooked, except fruit, which must bp scalded; cooked food if touched by a fly or other insect, must be thrown away; clothing must he oare- ! fully sterilized, and only certain fab I rics must be worn; the hom-e. of j course, must be kept scrupulously ! clean. Love Called for Sacrifice. Money could not buy the sort of household service the preservation of Dr. Converse's health and life would demand; pnly love could be relied upon to give such service, never to slip in its adherence to the scientific' rules of hygiene. So he must take his young wife with him to the plaguestricken city. Her work in maintaining a sanitary household in Iquitos would be fully as important a part of the government mission as h<-r husband's— and furty as dangerous. Dr. Converse didn't need the $1,000 a month the Peruvian government contracted to pay him for two years' service. The Converse family is well known in California and has lands and wealth in abundance, and young George Converse went into the'public health and marine hospital service because he wanted to amount to something; * because a life of uselcssness held no charms for him. "Suburb oft Hell." Men who have come out of Iquitos alive call it "a suburb of hell." There are no "old inhabitants" in Iquitos. They talk of events of a year ago and believe they are discussing history. Men visit Iquitos as a river visits a Funken treasure ship; they enter the city as a fireman enters a burning building, ready to flee as soon as they find that which they seek. The rubber trade must bear the blame for this. When Charles Goodyear discovered the process for turning crude rubber into an article 'of commerce there was a wild rush of adventurers into the forest regions cf South America. Here gold grew in trees. Rubber gathering is slow work, impatience brought out the brute in these men. They madej slaves of the Indians who lived in the montana, as (he forest region is called. Whispered tales began to come out of the Amazon rubber district," especially from the Putumayo district at the northern end of it—blood curdling tales of barbarous cruelties and tortures— old women locked into , cribs and starved to death because they were too feeble to gather the quota of rubber their drivers demanded of them; babies cut in two with one stroke of the machete when their mothers protested that they must. . —r—tnur& e them instead of working at'the rubber free*; men slaves shot dead or beaten or maimed with tortures. After the rubber seekers followed the merchants, the dealers and bro- Kere in rubber. These pitched a camp on a dry bank of the Amazon at the eastern edge of the rubber district. The camp became tbe village of Iquitos, the town the city of IquitoB with 15,000 population. No Move for Public Safety. The newcomers, adventurers, were too engrossed in their struggles to get rich to take public measures of safety. There were no sewers; no effort was made to keep the city clean. The streets grew foul with refuse, decaying food and pools of stagnant water. Occasionally the torrential rains of the tropics washed the tilth down into tjie river, but for the most the Mat city steamed and festered under the 'eQtiator. Horrible pestilences swept off the t population. Swarms of flies, mosqui- | toes, rats and other vermin spread i the contagions. On the health charts 1 the city is today marked with the yellow star, indicating that yellow fever always exists* there. Iquitos is the only community of any gize left j on ca.'th where yellow fever is enj demic.

A charming xourg woman began her married life \\rt.h an income which not only met but also permitted of tying in a generous bow with beautiful flowing ends. When the eldest of her three children was nine years old Kortune turned upon them a decidedly cold shoulder. "Well, you must at least admit that it is dreadful for the children," insisted a friend who had tried in vain to make this mother express selfpity over her change of circumstances. "But I have come to the conclusion that it is about the best thing that could have happened to them," answered the mother with a smile. "They were becoming selfish and dissatisfied." one day an humble neighbor of her simple, new environment gave the mother a small, common geranium from her garden bed. When the children came home from school they helped her plant it in a cheap earthen pot. They placed it in the sunniest window. They tended and watched it, counting each new leaf and each swelling bud. "How are you all?" inquired the consoling friend pityingly, meeting the children. "Thank you. we are all well." answered the little girl happily, "and, oh -you just ought to see our red geranium—there are actually fourteen blossoms on it!" And the former friend beheld the glimmering of a wonderful truth of which she had never before dreamed. —From the Housekeeper. Organ Plays in Three Places. An American firm of organ builders has recently completed in Zion City, 111., a pipe organ which is even larger than the famous one in the Salt Lake City tabernacle, and which possesses many new features in its construction, says Popular Mechanics' Magazine, in an Illustrated article.. This giant musical instrument is really three distinct organs controlled, if desired, from the main console or keyboard. Two hundred feet from the choir organ, in the gallery at tbe entrance, is an echo organ operated from the main keyboard during processionals. The second echo organ, in the prayer room at the other end of the tabernacle, can be played independently of the great organ or by the organist at the mato console. The organist can also sit m the prayer room organ and operate the main organ, Hypocrites. Mayor Lunn of Schenectady was discussing a certain smug type of undesirables.

Desvois, at the corner of the Rue d* la Grande Truanderie. They ordered a bottle of wine, and went upstairs for a game of 'billiards. Of the two doors in the billiard-room, one opened into the bedroom', whilst the other led to the entrance in the Rue de la Grande Truanderie. After half an hour Mu,e. Desvois, not hearing the noise of the billiard balls, went upstairs, and, to her surprise, saw the door of the bedroom ajar. At that moment one of the men came forward, and Mme. Desvois, convinced they were burglars, called for help. At her shrieks the three fellows rushed out, knocked her over, and ran away. Two oi them escaped unseen, by the back door, but the third found himself in the Rue de la Grande Truanderie followed by a crowd attracted by the woman's cries. On the point of^being overtaken, the man drew a revolver, fired at a youth who had seized his coat tails, and shot him down. The mad chase continued towards the Rue Pierre-Lescot, where he fired again, killing a cabinet-maker called Martinot. M . Botteiier, an employe, was his third victim; for the poor man, with a bullet in the groin, died on his way to the hospital. The murderer sped along, brandishing his weapon, when a M. Guyomard caught him piuckily by the throat and felled him to the ground. The police had the greatest trouble to prevent him from being lynched. With his clothes torn to shreds, and bleeding from several wounds, he was first conveyed to the police-station In the Rue des Prouvaires, and afterwards brought before me. He was a short, thick-set, determined- looking man with a strongly- <tev«i«ped jaw, and a r.urkma_ hard [ hfcfar« ton -much n-mnmhv 'in wntrterfon Mangin, it should be remembered that this gentleman had spent about a third of his life in prison. He and Plessis belonged to the worst class of criminals. But I had had frequent opportunities of noticing that one chord, that of friendship, w^uld vibrate in men of even that stamp; and It was on that I based the experiment! was about to make, y expression in the eyes—the type of the brute. He gave his name as Crampon; and we discovered that under the name of Bonfantini he had already undergone several long terms of imprisonment. When I asked him for the names of his accomplices he looked at me with an ugly grin. "What fort To* obtain favors? No, thank you. 1 am not going to harm ttifem. 'Besides, I am-sick of everything. I want to bo 'butte " * "Are you Borry you killed these poor men?" "Sorry? Not I. Or, rather, I am sorry; for I had still two shots in my revolver; and, but for that meddling idiot, you would not see me here today." I did not prolong this conversation, and waited till the next day, when I bad him once more brought before me, aud again questioned him <U)out his aerumplices. "Save yourself the trouble," be said with a sneer, "you'll get nothing out of me. 1 want to be 'butte/ " Crampon had a sweetheart, a certain. Maria Thouveuin, then lying i i l at the- Charite hospital. I searched her room, and found a uniform of a private in the Fourth Infantry, which I took away with me The excitement in Paris, when that horrible murder became known, was intense and the press clamored for tho arrest of the two men who accompanied Crampon on that fatal afternoon. "Unfortunately, Mme. Desvois was unable to give me their description, and none of my men, although well acquainted with the criminals and their haunts, could supply any clue. I seat for Inspector Larose—an experienced official—and described to him a fellow I had seen some months ago with Crampon enter a bar. Larose thought a long time and then said: "Well, sir, I think I know the man, hut I doubt whether he belongs to the Crampon gang." "1 defaulter!" served my tinier ment, too." "Where?" "In the Fourth Infantry "What has become of form?" "My uniform? My uniform? I—-must have lost it." "I think I have found it. Undo that parcel in "the corner, and put on the coat and trousers." He did so, and they fitted him like a glove. "You left them with Maria Thouvenin," I said, "and you had better make a clean breast of it." He reflected a moment, and then confessed having been with Crampon on the day of the murder; but, like Crampon, he positively refused to give the name of the other man. "I'll tell you all about myself. M." Goron, but I'll never round on my pal, no, never. And I'll bet you'll never catch him either." . "We will see about that," I replied. The following morning I sent again for Inspector Larose. "Larose," I began, "Plessis two years ago broke his leg, and was nursed at Mangin's house by that man's sister. They are great pals?" "Yes, sir. And he even wanted to marry the girl. "Right. Then arrest Mangin for being implicated in this affair and bring him here at once." "I beg your pardon, sir, but I am certain Mangin had nothing to do with this business." "So am I; and that is why I want you to bring him to me." No doubt it seems horrible that I should arrest a man I knew to be Innocent. But I saw no other way of laying my hands on a desperate character, who, at any moment, might have slipped through my fingers. And. Mangin had^becn so often in custody that he dici'not look^11¾¾*t when he was marched into my offfce. And as he kuew he was innocent of the crime imputed to him, he could afford to be sarcastic. "What'.s the use" he said, "of hauling me in, when the fish who did the mischief is stiil swimming about? was not in this affair." "That remains to be seen." "I was not in this affair," be repeated violently. "Hold your tongue. You and Plessis were both in i t " After 1 had worked him to a high pitch of excitement 1 seat for Plessis, and then witnessed a curious scene, the one on which i had reckoned. When Plessis was ushered in, and saw Mangin, he seemed dumbfounded, but he greeted him heartily with a; "Boa jour, moa v'ieuxV The other glared at him, ' Y o u are a nice kind of friend.** he hissed, "to denounce a pui you kaow to be innocent. You scoundrel!" "I swear/' shrieked Plessis, "I never mentioned your name' Ask M . Goron —ask hiim" "He speaks the truth," I interposed; "he refused to give me the aame of the third man who went with Crampon til at afternoon to the Rue Saint- Denis; but, as 1 feel sure you, Mar.gin, are that man, 1 had you arrested." Mangin growled and turned on Plessis, "Ain I to understand that in order to screen* a pal of yours wh^ took part in this business you actually let me, your best friend, suffer?" If at that moment a member of the JfYench academy, whose duty it is to "It is Joseph Simetiere. And now don't ask me anything else—for I shall not answer." He then looked expectantly at Mangin, and the two shook hands. 1 rang the bell. "This man," I said, pointing to Mangin, "is to be released." And he walked away, proud at having only been three hours in custody, a thing which, 1 arn sure, had never happened to him before. Joseph Simetiere was a dangevr ui bandit. No time had tQ be lu.:, : i>' that same night I went in s:vrrh o. him, accompanied by two of my men. I knew Simetiere was a frequenter of a )ow darning phu-e in the Rue Montagne-Saintt-Cerievieve, where the worst characters congregated. At au easily hour I wait there uiih my companions, whom 1 le!t a litthj distance off, ^nd walked straight into a small ooin, from which, through a window closed by a curtain, everything could be seen that went on hi the hall. This closet bore the curious name of •'the Grau'd Duke's observatory," for it was from there that two of the Russian grand dukes had once watche(| the eniertainment. "Do you expect Joseph Simetiere tonight?" I asked the proprietor, who iiad every re;i.co:i to assist the police. "Yes, he conies here constantly. Hut his pals are always with him, and in"your stead 1 would——" "Thank you. 1 do not want-your advice. Stay here, and tell me when he er.rers." After an'hour he called out: "Here he is!" ^Simetiere, a sinister-looking scoundrel, with three men and a woman, all desperate characters, sat down, ordered drinks, and started a conversation, which, above the squeak of fiddles and the thumping of feet, I could not hear. It was fortunate I had taken the precaution of locking the door, for the woman crossed the hall, and —I do not known for what reason— tried to come in. When I saw the fellow rise. I stole out, and joined my companions, whom I conducted to a dark doorway by which SimeUcro had to pass. "it is no good making a selection,' I whispered to my men, "we must take our chance." A few minutes after midnight we saw Simetiere come down the Btreet. One of his friends walked by his side; the others were a few yards behind. The instant the two were level with us we rustied at them and before they could utter a cry they were bound, thrown into a cab. and taken off. other, man we had arrested was would have been horrified, For I aud these two men were talking "the "He may or he may not. I noticed i expurge every strange word from our his hair; it was cut short and looked | age, had entered my room he as if he'had Just lefMhe^xejfiment/' " Larose looked up. "I begin to see it now, sir; it would ,#*een tongue —a* it is called here— be funny if he turned out to be our t h ® B l a n S ^ which Paris criminals feel man. Hts name is Gedrges Plessis, 8 0 m u c a m o r © at home than in honest and he hi employed in a wineshop in To the fact of my being able to converse in that queer idiom I attribute, in some measure, the influe n c e ! always have had over members of that class. "Two years ago," continued Mangin, "when you had come to grief, and the police——" Thevenin, an old offender, and this, as it turned out, proved a lucky haul, for the next morning, when Simetiere was brought before me, he scowled angrily, and said: "I am sure it is that coward Thevenin who has rounded on me; .and 111 be even with htm. Yes, 1 was in the affair of the Rue Saint-Denis; but Thevenin, that, ugly rat, was the third man." This was at variance with what PlessiB had told me. But instead of doubting Simetiere's statement I guessed that Plessis had only told me half the truth and that, there was a fourih. My supposition proved correct, for. having confronted Crampon with the other three, it. turned out that while Crampon, with Simetiere and Thevenin had gone to the billiardroom in the wine-shop, Plessis had kept watch outside, which accounted foi' the fact that no one had seen him. The public were delighted when it was ,announced, that the men in connection with the Rue Saiut-Dcnis crime were in custody; but 1 was not .satisfied. Crampon was the head of a gang who had been, or were still, commilting depredations, and I could not rest until that whole pack had been routed. And I may remark here that the post of chief of the Paris detective police is not a bed of roses. He certainiy disposes of men in whose courage he can place reliance; hut when a, dangerous expedition on a big scale is planned, the chief has to place himself at their head and risk his life— like they do. I had also io overcome a serious difficulty, that of laying my hand on the whole lot in one swoori for I knew full well that if 1 caught, only two or three the rest would disappear, and I Bhould have to start a iresh hunt, I, therefore, sent for La.trfile, an active young officer, who possessed the talent of disguising himself in such a marvelous manner that t often failed to recognize him when I met him i,n one of the passages of the prefecture. I instructed him to watch the gang, and keep me informed of their movements. Their favorite meeting-place was a low tavern in the Rue Aubry-le-Boucber. A few days later, LatrUte told me that the whole gang were to meet that evening, whereupon I made all my arrangements. v.. the Rue du Bac/' "AH right; let u* go there at once.** Twenty minutes later we alighted and enquired after PfessU.

Brunei received an ugly gash in the thigh, and poor Larose was shot in the leg. Suddenly one of my men shouted: "I^ook out, sir." I turned quickly, and saw a fellow, who had been hiding underneath a table, pointing a pistol at me. But the arm that held it was caught, wrenched backward, and, with a howl, he fell on the floor. In less than five minutes everything was over, and my prisoners, carefully handcuffed, were conveyed to the prefecture. Then came the day of reckoning.

When we entered, Crampon, who was sitting on his bed, turned livid. "Crampon," said M. Beauquesne, "the moment of expiation has arrived."

"For a sentimentalist, your memory cf the flowers seems material enough." "Then, I had forgotten this, but my wife says «he had just stopped play* ing when I asked her to marry me."

'Claim to Repeal Present Mortgage Tax Law Would Work Hardship to Many People. •Discussion of plans for resisting efforts to repeal the state's mortgage tax law engaged the attention of memhern of the legislative committee of I>etroit real estate board. Definite lines for the campaign were not decided on, but the sentiment expressed indicates the board "will make a strong fight in defense o f the tax law, on the ground that the interval during which it has been in operation has been too short for a fair test of its merits. The legislative committee of the •board includes C. M. tHarmon, chairman; Walter C. Woolley, William 32. Roney, Homer Warren and Richard <J. Lambrecht. President Judson Brad- >-ay, Secretary E. B. Tyrrell and others participated in the conference. In a-eforence to the attitude of the real estate board President Brad way says: "We feel that the law has not been in operation long enough to be tried out properly. It has worked very satisfactorily in other states and we be- Sieve the least we can do is to see that lit is given a chance in Michigan." "To repeal the mortgage tax law *will simply make a let of liars and trodks out of people, because no man "will allow anyone to rob him if he knows about it," says Thomas H . Welch, of Welch Bros. "It is simply legalized highway robbery when the Oaw requires a full rate of taxation on land and a full rate of taxation on the mortgage covering the same land." Figures from the auditor general's oflicfe show that since tire mortgage tax law has been in operation, about Teaching Farmers, The subject of scientific agriculturo has taken such a hold upon the farm-" ers ;;nd fruit growers oi' western Michigan that classes are being organized for the purpose ol' systematic study. Short courses under the auspices of the agricultural college have been announced for five high schools. But even those courses do not seem to be sufficient, and Supt. A. H. Clark, of the Kingsley school has evolved a plan which, he believes, will help fill the demand. Beginning with February 3, he will conduct a Monday night school for the farmers living close to Kingsley. The course will be made to appeal to practical men and will be arranged to meet their specific need*. To start, stress will be placed upon those parts of chemistry, minerology, zoology, plant life, and physical geogranjiy as relate to farming, that the farmer may see the value of these sciences in connection with his vocation. This is the first night school for farmers in the western Michigan territory and the result of the experiment will be closely watched that other schools may be started if this is a success. M I C H I G A N T E R S E L Y Kebler, son of sev- Mr. "Jo months, The aggregate value "or morigages on which tho filing tax is >jjaid has been increased to approximately three times what it was before the law became effective," says Secretary Tyrrell, of the real estate board. In the conference, Homer Warren pointed out that since the tax law has been in force, many persons havo bought mortgages and that should the fcaw now be repealed, considerable lhardship would be inflicted on widows end others, who have placed their funds in that form of securitv. Says State Can't Own Railway. A resolution offered in the house of representatives that a committee of five be named to confer with the attorney general as tp the steps to be taken for the state of Michigan to own and operate the Pere Marquette railroad, caused a furore in the house. The resolution was offered by-Rep. Henry Glasner, of Barry, and followed the statement of Gov. Ferris in The Journal Monday that he would like to see this railroad under state ownership. The house adopted the resolution first, but Rep. Charles Flowers, of Detroit, moved that it be reconsidered. Flowers assorted that the state lias not the right to own and operate railroads. After some confusion the house reconsidered the Glasner resolution and (hen tabled it. A fight to take it off the table is said to be certain. Call for Oleo in State Institutes.

Broad's fiancee was to arrive that evening on tho 10:10 from Washington, and Broad, who had been celebrating in honor of the event, was telling us all the details of their recent quarrel and reconciliation. "Sh-h!" said some one; and just then a boy entered with a late edition of the "Planet,* wet from the press, and handed it to Dunning. "Mr. Broad!" he said sharply, and then, changing his mind, left his seat and hurried toward us. "Mr, Broad, I want you to go out to Crayfield instantly. The 10:10 from Washington has been wrecked outside the station. Hurry, and telephone all tho news. And say, try to get a list of the dead." "My God!" said Broad, and sank down into his seat. He buried his face in his hands and his shoulders shook convulsively. Somebody explained the situation in a few words, and Dunniug's face took on an expression of intense sympathy. He placed one arm about Broad's shoulders and dre^^lrrra to his feet. "Too bad, old man/' he said. "But I guess you'll be crazy now unless you get to Crayfield as soon a3 possible, so perhaps it would, be the kindest thing to let you cover the assignment." "Yes, I'll go," cried Broad, pulling himself together. ' y Then, one after another, he detailed us; one to the railroad offices, another to the president's house, another to catch the general manager at his club.

His face was blanched; the situation seemed to have affected him as much as any of us. Once in a while the telephone would ring, but it was always local news or a report from some of the men on assignment. There was no word from Broad. "If she's among them," began Kemp —and we knew he meant the dead— "Broad won't telephone." "O yes, he will," I answered confi dently; and at that moment the telephone rang so sharply that somehow 3 knew it was Broad calling from Crayfield. Dunning took up the receiver and held it to hie car a moment. Then he called me. "It's Broad," he said. "He's calling and says he has a good story. Don't go into a booth; take it down hero.

The grandson's wife was very anxious that the first meal should be one which the aged couple would enjoy after their long ride in the train, and accordingly the table groaned under it3 burden of good things to eat. In the course of the repast she noticed several times that the old man seemed to be making little progress with the meal. "What i3 the matter, grandfather?" she asked, "don't you like my dinner?" "No, no, grandfather," mumbled the old man, "it isn't that. Only I've a pickled onion in my mouth, and I hain't got but one tooth left, so it's harder'n< Sam Hill to catch it, it's so lively. Just rest easy a spell til I git a holt on it and I'll be all right!" Good Cause. "Will you donate something to a good cause?" said the caller, as he laid a paper on the business-man's desk. "What is it?" asked the businessman. "One of the tenants in this building killed a book agent this morning," replied the caller, "and we are taking up a subscription to reward him."

There are no gears—just a fibre faced wheel running against a liriclion disc. This eliminates jerks in starting. This remarkable simplicity makes disorders practically impossible. This transmission gives a pulling power that will take the car easily through bad, muddy and sandy roads and even up oO per cent grades. With the chain in oil drive there is no w«ste of power. The self starter makes starting easy. Three Rtrong brakes give absolute safety under any conditions. Many other features just as good.

The consumer is bearing the brunt of these conditions."

She had ridden to hounds many times on the anise-scented trail of the West Chester Hunt! Exciting tennis and leisurely golf had engaged her attention on the courts and4 greens ot the Merlon Cricket club. She had buffeted •'Old Ocean's gray and melancholy waste" on the beach at Cape May and at Atlantic City. .Spiritually, she was a devoted member of the Episcopal church, of the yarlety that abhors the word "Protesant" in connection therewith. Altogether she reflected great credit upon her .pastors and masters, spiritual and temporal and her up-bririgitig hi the" three departments of life left little to be desired. Upon her graduation she had been at once received and acclaimed by the •'Assembly Set" of Philadelphia, to which indeed she belonged unquesstand it or explain it. Bob Maitland must have been, they argued, a reversion to an ancient type, a throwback to some robber baron long antecedent to William Penn. And the speculation was true. The blood of some lawless adventurer of the past, discreetly forgot by the conservative section of the family, bubbled in his veins unchecked by the repressive atmosphere of his home and immediate environment. He had thoroughly identified himself with his new surroundings and had plunged into all the activities of the west. During one period of his life he had actually served as sheriff of one of the border counties, and It was a rapid "bad man" indeed, who enjoyed any advantage over him when It came to drawing his "gun." His skill and daring had been unquestioned, he had made a name for himself which still abides, especially in the mountains where things yet remained almost as primitive as they had been from the beginning. His fame had been accompanied by fortune, too; the cattle upon a thousand hills were his, the treasures of mines of fabulous richness were at his command. He lived tn Denver in one of the greatest of the bonanza palaces on the hills of that city, confronting the snow-capped mountain range. For the rest he held stock in all sorts of corporations, was a director in numerous concerns and so on—the reader can supply the usual catalogue, they are all alike. He had married late In life and was the father of two little girls and a boy, the oldest sixteen and the youngest ten. tloned by rightjpf birth and p o s i t i o n — G o i n g east, which he did not love, and there was no other power unaer heaven by which she could have effected entrance therein, at least that is what the outs thought of that most exclusive circle. The Old home of the Maitlands overlooking Rittenhouse Square had been the scene of her debut. In all the refined and decorous gaitles of on an Infrequent business trip, he had renewed his acquaintance with his brother and the one ewe lamb of his brother's flock, to-wit, the aforementioned Enid. He had been struck, as everybody was, by the splendid personality of the girl and had striven earnestly to disabuse her mind of the prevalent idea that there was nothing Philadelphia's ultra-fastidious society much worth while on the continent she had participated. She had even looked upon money standardized New York in its delirium ot extravagance, at least in so far as a sedate and wellborn Philadelphia family could countenance such golden madness. During the year she had ranged like a conquerer— pardon the masculine appellation— between Palm Beach in the south and Bar Harbor in the north. Philadelphia was proud of her, and she was not unknown in those unfortunate parts of the United States which lay without In all this she had remained a frank, <free, unspoiled young woman. Life was full of zest for her, and she enjoyed it with the most un-Pennsylvattian enthusiasm. The second summer after her coming out found her in Colorado. Robert Maitland was one of the big men of the west. He had departed from Philadelphia at an early age and had settled in Colorado while it was still tn tbe formative period. There he had .grown up with the state. The Philadelphia Maitlands could never underbeyond the Allegheny except scenery. "What you need, Enid, is a ride across the plains, a sight of real mountains, beside which these little foothills in Pennsylvania that people back here make so much of wouldn't be noticed. * You want to get some of the spirited, glorious freedom of the west into your conservative straights-laced lltfle body." "In my day, Robert/* reprovingly remarked his brother, Enid's father, "freedom was the Ias% thing a young lady gently born an>d delicately nurtured would .have coveted." "Your day Is passed, Steve," returned the younger Maitland with shocking carelessness. "Freedom is what every woman desires now, especially when, she is married. You are not In love with anybody, are you, Enid?" "With not a soul," frankly replied the girl, greatly amused at tbe colloquy between the two men, who, though mothered by the same'woman, were as dissimilar as—what shall 1 say, the east is from the west? Let it go at that "That's all right," said her uncle, relieved apparently. "I will take you out west and introduce you to some, real men and—" "If I thought it possible/' interposed Mr.. Stephen Maitland In his jmost austere and dignified manner, "that my daughter," with a perceptible emphasis on the "my," as if he and not the daughter were the principal being under consideration, "should ever so^ far forget what belongs to her station in life and her family as to allow her affections to become engaged by anyone who, from his birth and upbringing in the er—oh—unlicensed atmosphere of the western country would be persona non grata to dignified society of this ancient city and—" "Nonsense," interrupted the younger brother bluntly. "Y*e« have lived here wrapped up In yourselves and your dinky little town so long that mental asphyxiation is threatening you." "I will thank you, Robert," said his brother with something approaching the manner in which he would have repelled a blasphemy, "not to refer to Philadelphia - as-^-er—what was your most extraordinary word?" " 'Dinky,' if my recollection serves. "Ah, precisely. I am not sure as to the meaning of the term, but' 1 conceive it to be something opprobri ous. You can say what you like about me and mine, but of Philadelphia, no." "Oh, the town's right enough," re turned his brother, not at ail Im pressed. "I'm talking about people nowi There are just as fine men and women In the west as in New York or Philadelphia." "I am sure you don't mean to be offensive, Robert, but really the assoelation of ideas In your mention of us with that common and vulgar New York is er—un—pleasant," fairly shuddered the elder Maitland. "I'm only urging you to recognize the quality of the western people. I dare say they are of a, finer type than the average here." * ;*From your standpoint, no doubt," continued his brother' severely and somewhat wearily as If the matter were uot worth all this argument. "AH that I want of them Is that they stay In the west where they belong and not strive to mingle with the east; there is a barrier between us and them which It is not well to cross.^ To permit any intermixtures of er—race "Of course, of course," said Stephen Maitland, "you are your own mistress anyway, and having no mother—" Enid's mother had died in her infancy—" I suppose that I could not interfere or object if I wished to, but no marrying or giving in marriage. Remember that." ^Nonsense, father," answered the young woman lightly. "I am not anxious to assume the bonds of wedlock." "Well, that settles it," said Robert Maitland. "We'll give you a royal .good time. 1 must run up to New York and Boston for a few days, but I shall be back In a week and 1 can pick you up then." "What is the house In Denver; Is it er—may I ask, provided with all modern conveniences and—" began the fclder Maitland nervously. Robert Maitland laughed. "What do you take us for, Steve; do you ever read the western newspapers?" . "I confess that I have not given much thought to the west since 1 studied geography ahd-^-the Philadelphia papers have been thought sufficient for the family since—" "Good Lord," exclaimed Maitland. "The house cost h a l f ' a million dollars; if you must know it, and if there or-^ 0 -i • \ if* 4 vThe people out there are white, Steve," interrupted his brother sardonically. "I wasn't contemplating introducing Enid here to Chinese, or negroes, or Indians, or—" "Don't you see," said Mr. Stephen Maitland, stubbornly waving aside this sarcastic and irrelevent comment, "from your very conversation the vast gulf that there is between you and me? Although you had every advantage in life that birth can give you, we are—I mean you have changed so greatly," he had quickly added, loathe to offend. . But he mistook the light in his brother's eyes; it was a twinkle, not a flash.' Robert Maitland laughed, laughed with what his brother conceived to be Indecorous boisterousness. "How little you know of the bone and sinew of this country, Steve," he exclaimed presently. Robert Maitland could not comprehend how it irritated his stately brother tb be called "Steve." Nobody ever spoke of him but as Stephen Maitland. "But Lord, I don't blame you." continued the westerner; " A n y man whose vision is barred by a footbitt couldn't be expected to'1 know much of the main range and1 what's beyond." "There isn't any danger of my failing In love with anybody," said Enid at last, with all the confidence of two triumphant social seasons. "I think 1 must be Immune even to dukes," she said gaily. "I referred to worthy young^Amerleans of—" began her father who, to do him justice, was so satisfied with his own position that no foreign title dazzled him in the least degree. "Rittenhouse Square," cut in Robert }Maitland with amused sarcasm. "Well* Enid, you seem to have run the gamut of the east pretty thoroughly; come out and spend the summer with me In Colorado. My Denver house is open to you; we have a ranch amid the foothills, or If you are game we can break away from civilization entirely and find some unexplored, unknown canon In the heart of the mountains and camp there. We'll get back to nature, which seems to be impossible in Philadelphia, and you w i l l see things* and learn things that you will never see or learn an j where else. It'll do you good, too: from what 1 hear, going the pace and f yours are a little too r l ; you took tb< tilth and it He Crushed Her to Him and Kissed Her. is anything that modern science can contribute to comfort and luxury that Isn't in It, I don't know what it is. Shall it be the house In Denver, or the ranch, or a real camp in the wilds, Enid?" "First the house In Denver," said Enid, "and then the ranch and their the mountains." "Right-O; that shall be the program." "Will my daughter's life be perfectly safe from the cowboys, Indians and desperadoes?" "Quite safe," answered Robert, with deep gravity. "The cowboys no longer shoot up the city and It has been years since the Indians have held up even a trolley car. The only real desperado in my acquaintance is the mildest gentle old stage driver in the west" "Do you keep up an acquaintance with men, of that class still?" asked his brother In great surprise. "You know I was sheriff in a border county for a number or years and—"" - • "But you must surely have withdrawn from all such society now/' "Out west," said Robert Maitland, "when we know a man and like him, when we have slept by him on the plains, ridden with him through the mountains^ fought with him against some border terror, some bad ' man thirsting to kill, we don't forget him, we don't cut bis acquaintance, and it doesn't make any difference whether the one or the other of us Is rich or poor. I have friends who can't frame a grammatical sentence, who habitually eat with their knives, yet who are absolutely devoted to me and I to them. The man Is the thing out there." He smiled and turned to Enid. "Always excepting the supremacy of woman," he added. "How fascinating," exclaimed the girl. "I want to go there right away." And this was the train of events which wrought the change. Behold the young lady astride of a horse for tbe first time in her life in a divided skirt, that fashion prevalent elsewhere not having been accepted by the best equestriennes ot Philadelphia. She was riding ahead of a lumbering mountain* wagon .surrounded by other riders, wlrich was loaded' with baggage* drawn by four sturdy broncos and followed by a number of obstinate little burros at present unincumbered with packs which would be used when they got further from civilization and the way was no longer practicable for anything *n wheels. , . . / . , , Miss Enid Maitland was clad in a way that would bare caused ber lather ke of apogtay * ha oouia have been suddenly made aware of her dress, fit ahe had burst into the drawing- room VStSufcyt announcement, for instance. Her afcirt was distinctly short, she wore heavy hob-nailed shoes that laced up to her knees, she had on a bright blue sweater, a kind of a cap known as a tam-o-shanter was pinned above her glorious hair, which was closely braided and wound around her head. She wore a silk handkerchief loosely tied around her neck, a knife and revolver hung at her belt, a little watch was strapped to one wrist, a handsomely braided quirt dangled from the other, a pair of spurs adorned her heels and most discomposing fact of all, by her side rode a handsome and dashing cavalier. - How Mr. James Armstrong might have appeared in the conventional black and white of evening clothes was not quite clear to her, for she had as yet never beheld him tn that obliterating raiment, but In the habit of the west, riding trousers, heavy boots that laced to the knees, blue shirt, his head covered by a nobie "Stetson," mounted on the flry restive broncho which he rode to perfection, he was ideal. Alas for the vanity of human proposition! Mr. James Armstrong, friend and protege these many years of Mr. Robert Maitland, mine owner and cattle man on a much smaller scale than his older friend, was desperately in love with Enid Maitland, and Enid, swept off her feet by a wooing which began with precipitant ardor so soon as he laid eyes on her, was more profoundly moved by his e*Ht; or pursuit, than she could have imagined. Omne ignotum pre magnlflco! She had been wooed in the conventional fashion many times and joft on the sands of Palm Beach, along the cliffs of Newport, in the romantic glens of Mount Desert, in the old-fashioned drawing-room overlooking Rittenhouse Square. She had been proposed to In motor cars, on the decks of yachts and once even while riding to hounda, but there had been a touch of sameness about It all. Never had she been made love to with the headlong gallantry, with the dashing precipitation of the west. It had swept her from her moorings. She found almost before she was aware of it that her past experience now stood her in little stead. She awoke to a sudden realization of the fact that she was practically pledged to James Armstrong after an acquaintance of three weeks in Denver and on the ranch. Business of the most Important and critical nature demanded Armstrong's presence east at this juncture, and will-he-nill-he there was no way he could put off his departure longer^ ultimate day from his business demand to ride with her on the first stage of her journey to the mountains. He had to leave the girl with an uneasy conscience that, though he had her half way promise, he had her but half way won. He had snatched the C H A P T E R II. The Game Played In the Usual Way. The road on which they advanced into the mountains was well made and well kept up. The canon through the foothUis was not very Cfeep—fpr Colorado—and the ascent was gentle. Naturally It wound in ev*rya direction* following the devious Course of the river, which It frequently crossed from one side to the other on rude log bridges. A brisk gallop of half a mile or so on a convenient stretch of comparatively level going put the two in, the lead far ahead of the lumbering wagon and out of sight of those others of the party who had elected to go a horseback. There was perhaps a tacit agreement among the latter not to break In upon this growing friendship, or, more frankly, not to Interfere in a developing love affalrr The canon broadened here and there at long Intervals and ranch; houses were found In every clearing, but these were few and far between and for the most part Armstrong and' Enid Maitland rode practically alone save for the passage of an occasional lumber wagon. "You can't think," began the man, as they drew rein after a splendid gallop and the somewhat tired horses readily subsided into a walk, "how t hate* to go back and leave you." "And you can"tlhink how loath I ana to have you return/' the girl flashed out at him w^h^a-eKlelong glance from her bright blue eyes and a witching smile from her scarlet lips. "Enid Maitland/' said the man. "you know I Just worship you. fd^-**** like to sweep you out of your saddle, lift you to the bow of mine and ride away with you. I can't keep my hands off you, I—" Before she realized what he would be about he swerved his horse toward her, his arm went around her suddenly. Taken completely off her guard! she could make no resistance, Indeed she scarcely knew what to expect until he crushed her to him and kissed her, almost roughly, full on the Hps. "How dare you/' cried the girl, her face aflame, freeing hersefeat>^a^ and swinging her own horse almost to the edge of the road which here ran on an excavation some fifty feet above the river. "How dare I?" laughed the audacious man, apparently no whit abashed by her indignation. "When I think of my opportunity I am amazed at my moderation." "Your opportunity; your moderav tion?" "Yes, when I had you helpless C took but one kiss; I might have held you longer and taken a hundred." (TO BE CONTINUED.) N r .

PERKINS TH E common-sense point of view, it seems to me, is that as far as the working people, under present conditions, are able to benefit .from gymnastic exercises, just so far they are valuable to them. That, of course, applies .to any other class of people as well. A l l of which simply means that to a vast number of working people it is a matter of minor importance or of utter indifference because their principal need is for industrial conditions which are safe, and for higher wages and shorter hours, which would give them opportunity for mental and moral education as well as physical. To educate oneself i n any wayv means the expenditure of energy, and one must not/tfnly have the energy to expend, but must also have enough good sleep and happy leisure, which is not active, i n order to replace the energy used i n work and active play. I f the question is whether the large part of working class women have these things, the answer must be that they do not. The object of expending energy is i n the hope of getting something one wants; one's living, one's health, some one or other form of happiness; i f the struggle of life is too hard, then the lessened energy is used to secure the greatest instinctive desire, one's bare existence, and often there is not enough energy for that. T o use a part of that small and precious fund i n active play appeals, I think, very little to the working class, that is, to that part of it which expends most of its energy i n making a living. They crave something to relax the nervous tension, something which is "done to them" without much effort on their part. Hence i t is that there is so much drinking, loafing i n cheap theaters and so many vices of various kinds. However, I would not i n any way undervalue the usefulness of physical exercises for the many persons who are enabled by them to throw off morbid conditions and to p u l l themselves out of anemic conditions and get fresh starts i n life. The only objection, I should think, is the tendency to make them into a fad, and to give the impression that, given gymnastics, we have cured the sorrows of the world. I n other words, we must not put the cart before the horse, but remember that poverty and ignorance are the real evils to be coped with and we can have no real health while we have these. Anything, however, that w i l l strengthen us for the time being to play whatever part we have to play i n the world must be counted as useful.

They can easily bring about such a condition of affairs, as it is a simple matter. A l l they need to do is to increase the wages of the producers so they will have the money to buy back more of the things they have produced. That would relieve the present stringency and times would become easier. Those who own the machines that the workers use for producing certain articles are-all the time storing up more and more profits, and as they are i n the minority and the workers compose the vast inajority, the workers' proportion of obtainable money must necessarily diminish as fast as the wealth of the capitalist increases. When a panic comes the position of ihe capitalist is somewhat like that of the monkey who put his hand into a jar of nuts and got his hand so full that he was unable to withdraw it. The more selfish and grasping the money kings (and humanity at large) w i l l become the oftener we w i l l have times of depression and panics. A y F . N . B L A N G H A R D The Famous Little Boarding House on South Green Street, Chicago. HICAGO.—-Miss Margaret Murray, Chicago's model boarding house keeper, has retired from business after conducting a boarding house for BO years. She is eighty years old, and has as much money as she needs to keep her for the rest of her days. Fourteen men gathered at the little farewell banquet she gave recently at ber boarding house, at 122 South Green street, a dingy thoroughfare in the Permit no Honor to to brought into the houie. , Enforce good behavior, but allow your boarders plenty o | liberty.

Listen to their troubles. Give them advice when they ask i t Remember the boarding boubo is their honle as well as yours. Miss /Murray has given her best thought to her boarding house. She has turned hundreds of persons away who asked to become members of her family. She boasts that she never has had a dissatisfied boarder, and never lost a boarder except from death or matrimony. Hers was no boarding house where the "boarders yell when they hear the dinner bell." She became known as the best old-fashioned cook in Chicago. Each of her meals was an event in the careers of her boarders, who came to the table always with smiled of anticipatory joy. 3flss Murray's boarding house is a modest two-story brick, with basement, wedged in between two big factory Wildings. It was once j n the midst, of a residence district, but its neighboring residences have been torn down, one by one, and replaced by factories and business houses until Miss Murray's house has been left stranded high and dry, the one lone residence of the neighborhood. But, despite the dingy environment, Miss Murray's boarding house has preserved its prestige. Brisk despite her four-score years, and with her motherly face framed by snow-white hair, Miss Murray sat the other day after her retirement by one of her front windows and looked out into the street as if she wished one of her "boys" would swing open the iron gates of her small front yard and climb the front steps to supper. Feels Lonesome. "It's a lonesome world," she said. No one can know just how lonesome I fe*el. Many mothers lose their sons one by one. but mine have all gone away together. "Such a fine lot they were! They were like own sons to me-—always thinking of the things I should like, how to save me work, how to make me happy. Many a time I have lectured them.

They had been her boarders for terms ranging from 15 to 45 years. On that occasion, these boarders toasted their retiring landlady in coffee of her own brew, and called her "the paragon of boarding house keepers,'' "the most wonderful boarding house keeper in the world," and "the best boarding house keeper in all history." There are no statistics on boarding house keepers to test the exact truth of these encomiums. But the facts In the case would seem to prove beyond cavil that, even if Mrs. Murray were not tbe best boarding house keeper in history, she at least is to be numbered among the chosen few. Boarders Seldom Left Her. One may best judge the hold she had upon her boarders by the term of years each one has been with her. Here is the list of her boarders and the number of years each stayed: Case Stewart, official of the Chlcasociety, and commits other crimes while h c l *° & Northwestern railway, who be- J y . , - ^ m e a boarder with Miss Murray beought to have been serving time f o r e t h e Chicago fire, 45 years.

John Cassidy of the Central Trust company of Illinois, 22 years. Daniel O'Connor, broker, 20 years. Timothy Daley, policeman, 18 years. Michael Daley, his son, seventeen yeara old, 15 years. Edward Beal, buyer for a department store, 15 years. Dr. W. A. Quinn, 18 years. Dr. William H . McCarthy, 16 years. Prank Hoy, 15 years. Samuel Wilson, 15 years. Dr. Charles W. Imwall, 15 years. One perhaps might • wonder why there was no boarder who had been with her throughout the full 50 years she kept a boarding house. Miss Murry explained t b i s ^ t t h e banquet. "Michael O'FlaherQfv* she remarked, feelingly, "was my first boarder. 1 never knew a man who liked good coffee so well or could eat so much boiled ham as O'Flaherty. He sat at my table three times a day for 30 years. It was through no fault of his own that he Quit me. He died, poor for the first crime, is not the lawyer partly responsible for his crimes? The knowledge that they can hire great lawyers to defend them has given encouiagement to criminals all over our land. It is true, a lawyer owes a duty to his client, but i f he knows the client is guilty he has fully discharged his duty when he has made clear all extenuating circumstances, if-any there be, connected with the crime, and has made a plea for as light a sentence as the court can pass for the crime committeQ.

Several years ago the inspector's brother built himself a new house, and thought it would be fine to have the inspector live there with him. The inspector liked the idea of living with biB own. kin, but he put off going as long as possible. Finally he packed his belongings and stole away to his new home. Went Back to Miss Murray. . But he was i l l at ease in his new quarters. His brother and his brother's wife and his gay young nieces and nephews wondered to see him sit a philosopher. "I was born in Ireland," she continued. "But I came to this country when I was a small child. My parents settled in Iowa and later came to Chicago. I learned to cook from my mother. I started my first boarding house fifty years ago at 132 North Union street, in the heart of a railroad district. Twenty-eight years ago I bought my present house. "I have always done my own marketing and my own cooking. I think that is chiefly responsible for my success. Most people think men are hard to cook for. They are not.

"She was a transport and was one of the fastest steamers we had.

The food served at Miss Murray's table seems to have woven a sort of hypnotic spell about her boarders. Some of them went away—or tried to —and in every Instance they came fluttering back like fascinated birds. Some of her boarders used to say that, once a boarder with Miss Murry, always her b6arder. Officer Daley's Experience. There was Onlcer Timothy Daley, for instance. He began boarding with Miss Murray 18 years ago. He dkUVt want to leave her, but he fell in love. The big policeman knew that if he married he would have to leave tbe the floor of his room until far Into the night. Then one morning his room in his brotber's luxurious home was found empty. The inspector had packed his things and gone back to Miss Murray's in the night. As a model boarding house keeper Miss Murray was no accident. She fitted herself by years of study, experiment and hard work. In her old age she is able to formulate certain rules which, she says, if lived up to rigidly will enable other boarding house keepers to achieve success. Here are some of the rules: Give everybody plenty to eat. Make the food plain and good. Make the table and house homelike. Don't run too much to style. A man would rather have a thick, juicy beefsteak than cut glass and fancy silver. Put everything on the table at once and let the boarders help themselves. Try to Please Them. Cater to individual appetites. If one wants his steak well done and another wants it rare, cook their steaks separately. Do your own marketing and make marketing a study. Make good coffee. Bad coffee has been responsible for more boarding house failures than any 1 other one thing. Have specialties In cooking—dishes that you cootp> differently from anybody else and that your boarders cannot get anywhere except at your own table. Do your own cooking, Have your table linen and dishes specklessiy clean. Never serve any dish that is not as good as you know how to make It If slightly burned or faulty in any respect, throw It away. Have plenty of hot water In the house at all times. Have a certain hour for meals, and serve them promptly on the hour. Keep your rooms clean, and have plenty of bedclothes in cold weather. Have all men as your boarders or all women. Never try to mix ins** and women. As boarders t f e ^ mix. Men are p r e f e r a ^ i w ^ | ^ | ; Mother your^me** " and sew i r likeeV-bfown gravy and plenty of i t It didn't take much longer to send the meat to the table the way they wanted it, and it didn't cost any more." DWn't Want Any Women. « "Why didn't you take in women as boarders?" Miss Murray was asked, "Men and women don't mix well in a boarding house," she replied. "If men don't care for the women they don't like them around, and if they do care for them there are sure to be unpleasant complications. I (decided at the outset to have only men as boarders. They are not so fussy as women. "I wouldn't have all women under any circumstances. Only women boarders would make any boarding house keeper's life a burden. They require too much waiting on, and are constantly fussing and raising a rumpus over trifles. I don't care to have them around." "Did you always^keep your boarders' clothes in order?" "Oh, yes. What's darning a few socks or doing a little patching? It didn't amount to anything, and It sort of rested me after the cooking. The boys didn't want me to do i t In fact, they complained a good deal about it at first, but I made them behave themselves about that as I did about everything else." "You acted as their guardian, then?" "In a way, yes. I treated them just as though they were my children. They had all. the liberty they Wanted, but I saw they didn't abuse it—and they never tried to. Most of my boarders came to me when they were just starting out in life. They were away from home and there were a great many temptations around tbem. It I saw any of them discouraged or disheartened or getting d little too giddy I just waited until there was a chance and talked over things with them. After such a talk the young fellows would stop to think,s attd when they Boiler Room and Magazine Blew Up. with water, and there was no current to mark their presence. It was high water when we landed troops on the shore of the lake. "Our boats were of different drafts. The large ones could not go near shore, and the smaller steamers lay between them and the shore, so that the soldiers could walk over them somewhat as If they were a pontoon bridge. We haJL several gunboats there, two of them, the Colorado and the Matagora, ironclad, and there were river boats and ferry boats. The Clifton was well armed and so waa the Calhoun, a ferry boat from New York, with a heavy gun at bow and at stern and two broadsides of four smaller guns each. "We were not allowed to stay in the lake without a visit from the enemy. A fleet of confederate boats came down the bayous from the Red river and disputed our position. The Queen of the West was the most formidable of them. ..She was a j a m , , though., not ironclad. The other boats were river steamers, with bales of cotton around their Bides and with guns pointing through apertures in the cotton guard. They were floating forts. "The Queen of the West came steaming down at us and in her path was one of our Ironclads. They told us afterward that the pilot had called out to the captain that they were headed for an iron boat and that the captain had sworn/to sink the boat evenX^t it was i r o i C They put on full steamNahead. jnxe water was like glass.

The bow was thrown high into the air and there hung the Queen of the West "The Calhoun and the Clifton took position, one on each side, and swelled, her. The Cadhoun, a sidewheeler, was kept swinging about without moving away from her position and firing broadsides or stern or bow guns as they came into range. The Queen of the West was game to the last and she returned the fire until her boiler room and magazine blew up. There was nothing left of her except a pile of wreckage, As soon as she blew up the rest of the confederate fleet, which had been doing a little firing, turned about and made for the bayous. They knew the channel and so escaped, but some of them were captured after our boats had made their way north." A Benediction. Gen.

On a certain evening in May my frierfd Dr. Everard and 'I werQ seated together in his private study. We. were engaged in an interesting discussion, and I was telling him of experiments which I had heeu fortunate in completing. "Yes," he said, thoughtfully, "I tfuily believe that there is a great future before this theory of treating disease by animal extract, and I shall be greatly surprised if it does not prove of signal use in the case of the insane. Brain disease is often due, I am sure, to, functional disturbance and consequent malnutrition of certain centers. We see this plainly in cases of epilepsy, hysteria, etc. If we can, therefore, ascertain where the brain is at fault, there is a rational deduction and line of treatment pointed out." He glanced at his watch and arose. "How, the time has flown," he said. "We have not a moment to waste. Hurry along to your room and get into your evening clothes, Halifax." : Pairlelgh Sanitarium is one of the most beautiful placet *">ite Plains, it possesses large, bea. v kept grounds, but on ordinary OCL ns the high surrounding walls, wrought iron gates and general air of seclusion cast a gloom over the scene. Dr. Kverard is much respected in the neighborhood. Fairleigh House belongs to him, he is known to be a very wealthy man, he is unmarried, and has turned his place into nothing more or less than a large lunatic asylum. Life at the sanitarium is all that is luxurious, and the restraint as light as possible. Everard is a great friend of mine, and I like to run down to see him whenever I can. On this occasion I was in time for-the annual ball. Once a year the beautiful place is thrown open, the dangerous patients are secluded, and those who are sufficiently well are allowed to sun themselves once more In the public gaze. Not only the splendid house itself, but the spacious grounds, too, are got ready for the reception of guests. Having dressed, I went downstairs. I lifted a curtain, nd found myself in the big ball room, ust within the entrance my eyes ighted on Everard and a particularly raceful, fair-haired woman of about thirty-five years of age engaged in conversation. He came forward to meet me. "Halifax," he said, "allow mo to introduce you to Mrs. Joliffe. Mrs. Joliffe, this is my old friend, Dr. Halifax." "I am very glad to .make your acquaintance, doctor," answered Mrs. Joliffe. She raised two sky-blue eyes to my face; a color of the faintest rose mantled her cheeks for a moment, then left them with a lovely creamy pallor. "What are you doing in your world now?" she queried, as Everard walked away. j "In .my world!" I repeated, startled by her tone, and the flashing light which came and went sin her eyes. "Ah," she said laughing, "have I Tiot seen you talking to Dr. Everard? fou know my story, or .at least some of it. You know that il.am a patient. I am leaving here next\week, however. Thanks to our good doctor's care I no longer belong to the iinsane memhers vOf the public. vNow- you understand why J<asked my;question.

"How interesting," she said when I paused. "J shall enjoy -it all again. By tthe way.. Dr. Halifax, il 'know that you are a awited traveler and a physician who has lifted the curtain which shows the hideous reality of disease, mental er p^fiteaX Perhaps some day we may meet again, and it may be i n your power tp render me assistance." " I M t i s / y i replied, "you w®y irest assured I will do zny best to eexve you/* When I returned to town I found a letter awaiting me from my friend Lucian Maxwell. He and I had spent several months traveling together in Asia, and we were much attached to each other. "My dear Halifax," he wrote, "I am about to enter into the state of matrimony. I now claim the performance of an offer you once made to act m the capacity of best man, should occasion for your services ever arrive. We are to be married in three weeks, and as Laura has no settled' home," the wedding will take place from my residence at Ashley-on-Hudson. Please write at once to say you will be_on bajDJLon the 25th of June." . O n the afternoon of the 23rd I start* *ed for my friend's place, and in due time stepped off at the little railway station which was about two miles distant from the house, very fine o Its summer foliage. Thankful for the shade, I sat down for a moment under a tree, when I was startled by the sound of a woman's voice. I looked up, and then I sprang to my feet, for the bright blue eyes of Mrs. Joliffe were gazing at me. "Ah," she said, coming forward, *I thought it likely that you would take this short cut. That is well; I shall be able to have a little conversation with you before we join the rest of the visitors." "How do you do?" 1 ^akL am surprised to see you here." "I can easily account for my presence,", she answered; "but before I say anything more I want you to promise that you will not tell anyone where you last saw me." "I will do as you wish;" I Teplied. "There is no reason why I should ^betray your secret." "That^is well. You fcave promised faithfully, remember^-£--a>m here as-a guest, and not a soul in the house knows my previous history. When I knew you were coming here, I managed to meet you first, so that I could' ask you to keep silent. You wonder why I am here—I wfll tell you. My daughter Laura is to marry Lucian Maxwell the day after tomorrow." Like a flash a memory rose before ray mental vision. K there was one subject on which Maxwell, in my opinion, was a little •overparticular, iit was on the dreadejl topic of heredity. Frequently he had assured me that far rather would he remain single all his life than bring disease into his family. "You think I have trapped you," said Mrs. Joliffe, who was watching my face intently. "Well, I meant to do so, I hold ymx to your word—to the bond of professional secrecy you have given me." "Do you consider it right to keep Maxwell in the dark?" I demanded. "Yes, from my point of view," «he retorted. "When 1 heard last night that you were coming here, the chief friend of the bridegroom, I experienced a sensation off agony, which you with your cool, well-balanced life, could never understand." "You can rest assured that I pity you," I said. "But the promise you have wrung from me, MPS. Joliffe, means injustice to my friend." "Nevertheless, I refuse to release you from it," she *aid firmly. "I have but one child, my only treasure. She knows, nothing whatever of the doom which hangs over me. She is beauti 'ful, lovable, worthy ^of the best that life can offer her. I will not have her happiness tampered Vtflth, no matter what the cost may foe. "Is your mania of a slight charac ter?" I asked hopefully. "*Jo," she answered .-sullenly. ''There is no use in mincing matters. I am at intervals pursued by the most horrible, ghastly fear that I am being poisoned. My mania rises to'hatred, and unless something is done to arrest its progress, I should think very little of trying to take the life of the person whom I fancy is conspiring against me. Even at the present moment I feel the sure approach of the terrible cloud which shuts away the sunshine of my life. I am convinced, however,; that I shall be able to 'Control myself until Thursday morning, When I.shall return immediately to Fairleigh sanitarium." "And your daughter knows rnothing of'this?" I queried- "No, I have been very careful. My - husband died soon after her birth, and when Laura was five year* <old she was taken from me and sent to .school. We used to meet in the hoHdays, and we always corresponded regularly. When^with her I have had power to restrain myself, and she suspects tnothing. Your terrible theory of heredity cannot be correct, for Laura Is mesatally sound in every ;way. I have done all that I could by placing her in the healthiest environments. But if she is the victim of a cruel blow I cannot answer for the consequences. She is very fragile and physically delicate; were you to tell what you know of me to M r , Maxwell it would in all probability render my daughter insane for life." I rose <t«> my feet, "You place me in a bad position," I said, "but I will not go back -on my word. I only hope I am not committing a crime in so doing." "I trust you, and thank you," she said. "Here come Lucian and some of his guests." She pointed down a vista through the wood, where the forms of several people were''visible under the trees, and ran forward to meet them. "I have been the first to greet Dr. Halifax," she said, going straight up to Maxwell. My friend srushed forward and shook hands with me. "I cannot say how acceptable your presence is," he exclaimed. "I have much to tell you, but first of all I want to Introduce you* to Laura. We will go to her at once." In a little while we entered a long, low cQTMmtrtBmk and whom do you think I have toought with tne? No less a person than my best man and greatest friend —•Dr. Halifax." "I have heard of you> of course/and I am glad to meet you," she answered, raising shy eyes to* my face, Sne was, I saw at a glance, her mother in miniature, but with a sort of halo cast over her. Under her wonderfully brilliant eyes there were somewhat darkshadows, which seemed to throw up and intensify their expression, adding to the etherealness and fragility of the delicate face. She began to speak to me in a low, sweet voice. At times, I fancied that her brows knit as if in momentary pain; now and then her lips drooped slightly; and once I felt certain that I intercepted a startled light of perplexity, almost terror, in her eyes. I said to myBelf, however, that I was prejudiced, that the knowledge of the mother's history made me read more than I ought i n the daughter's face. The dance that evening was a particularly brilliant one. Many guests arrived, and the grounds were lighted with Chinese lanterns and other varied forms of decoration. Soon alter ten o'clock I was standing on the south terrace, when the young brideelect approached me. "Can I speak to you, doctor?" she asked. Her voice was very low, and almost uimatural in tone. Even by the artificial light I could ^see that she was pale, and her lips trembling. "You are cold and trembling," I ^fcaid, "What seems to be wrong?" "I do not tremble from cold," she replied. "Dr. Halifax, I must confide in some one; it is all too horrible! You are Lucian*s 'best friend, but even you do not know him. He is not what he seems. Bend down, for I must not speak aloud. "Mother must not learn the awful truth. Lucian's love forrae has changed. He is trying to poison me. He must have lost his senses. Only half an hour ago, Doctor, I saw him put a poison powder into the champagne he asked me to drink. Oh, it is terrible! What will become of me?" I took my cue in an instant. "You are excited;and overwrought," I said might. I went down to breakfast in >the morning i l l at ease and strolled away by myself. My one faint hope was that Laura might betray herself that day, "and that Maxwell would be (thus warned in time before he was united to a mad wife. To my infinite distress, however, her mother's words with regard to the young girl proved correct When she came to breakfast -she looked calm-and happy; her-eyes met mine with serene unconsciousness. I managed to have a chat with her, and found, to my added perplexity, that she had forgotten every word she had spoken to me on tbe. previous evening. I could not join the rest of the happy party. I went to the wood and sat down to think over the situation. Suddenly I thought of what my friend Everard had said: "Brain disease is often due to functional disturbance and consequent malnutrition of certain centers. If we can, therefore, ascertain where the brain is at fault, a rational line of treatment is pointed out." With Dr. Everardls remark in my mind, I thought carefully over the experiments which 1 had lately made with regard to animal extracts as a means of cure. If his idea was correct, there was a certain portion of Laura Jollffe's brain which was not sufficiently nourished.^ The new line of treatment pointed Out^a definite cure for this. If I could supply^the unhappy girl with those portions of brain which were faulty in her own, I I might gradually overcome the terrible malady which threatened her. In short, now was the time for me to test the experiments which I had so lavishly made. I lost no time in excusing myself to my host and caught the first train for New York. I drove straight home, entered my laboratory and secured a box of carefully prepared medicine. Before twelve o'clock that night I returned to Ashley and seized the first opportunity I could find of speaking to Mrs. Joliffe. "I have been making some experiments," I said, "with regard to a new cure for certain forms of insanity. I need not waste time in repeating to you exactly what I have done. Your "f. remember now all that I said to you the other night," she whispered. "Oh, Dr. Halifax, the awful fear is over me again. From now on I will be in his power, and I know he means to poison me." For one instant a look of black despair had settled upon her face. "Have courage," I whispered back, "Take your medicine three times a day without fail, and the terror w:il cease to pursue you." "I have promised mother to take those queer little capsules," she said. "I will keep my word, doctor." The fear passed away from her face as Lucian joined us and she Bprang lightly into the waiting carriage, waving us a laughing good-bye as they drove off. What I suffered in the next few weeks it is difficult to describe. No news reached me with regard to Maxwell and his bride. Mrs. Joliffe, according to her determination, returned to Fairleigh sanitarium. My sleep was broken nightly by dread forebod ings. Had I done right or wrong? Would the capsules effect a cure, or would Maxwell find out when too late that I could have warned him against his fate and yet failed to do so? At last, one morning, a month after tbe wedding, I could stand the strain no longer, and hurried off to Fairleigh sanitarium.,. As soon as I got there I had an interview with Mrs. Joliffe. She came eagerly to meet me; her face was bright, her eyes full of happiness. She placed a letter in my hands, and I saw at a glance that the writer was Maxwell. "Read that portion," she said, pointing to the third page. I did so. "I am glad to be able to inform ^ygu>" it ran, "that Laura, who was nervous and depressed, and at times very strange during the first two weeks of our honeymoon, has now quite recovered her normal health and spirits. She is really in excellent form, has a good appetite, and is putting on flesh. I doubt, when we return home, if you will know her for the fragile creature who left her native land a short time ago. There is only one odd thing about her; she Insists on dosing herself with some extraordinary little capsules three times daily. She is looking over me as I write, arid begs me to say that the supply will soon be exhausted, and she wants you to send her some more. She believes that they have an almost magical effect upon her, soothing her nerves in the most wonderful way." You see, the experiment is a success, doctor.," said Mrs. Joliffe triumphantly, as I finished reading. "It seems so," I responded, with a sigh of relief. "And now, I have brought you a fresh supply of capsules. Please send them to Mrs. Maxwell by the next mail." "Dr. Halifax," said Mrs. Joliffe, "1 intend to try your medicine on myself. If ft has effected a cure in my child's case, why not in mine?" iTie suggestion was . a timely one, and with Everard's approval it was carried out. TodayHboth mother and daughter are*alive\nd well, mentally and physically, and\the blaci horror of madness has paired out of their lives forever. once upon a time for fne t«>wes, wnlca still has only* a single bell to t a l l t*e faithful to prayer, As far as can* ascertained, the story is as follow*: l a the early middle ages, when tka* church could approached by water; as well as by latod, a certain v a l i a a r knight wished to present to it a peal 6f bells. These bells were cast at s^ foundry many miles away and brought to the church by water. Tbe-y- arrive** in safety, but through carelessness or Inadvertence they were allowed slide to one side of the boat durias unloading, and in a few moments the - vessel listed over and sank, depositing the bells in the mud at the bottom of the canal, where they are to tnia day. When he heard of this tbe donor m|de a "vow, enchantment, e r spell," saying that Etchingham churc* should never have more than one bell until the peal he bad given was dragged from the bottom by a team off four milk-white oxen. The white oxea do not appear to have been forthcoming, and in later times the canal was filled in. The peculiar fact is that tiro church is still only possessed of one bell. Old bells bore many quaint legends graven upon them, such as ejaculations and prayers, and sometimes quite a little history, as in the case ot the great bell in Glasgow cathedral, which bears tbe following inscription: "In the year of grace, 1583, Marcos Knox, a merchant in Glasgow, zealous for the interest of the Reformed Religion, caused me to be fabricated to Holland, for the use of his fellowcitizens of Glasgow, and placed me with solemnity in the tower of their cathedral. My function was announced by the impress on my bosom: Me audito, veniae, doctrinam sanctam ut discas, and I was taught to proclaim the hours of unheeded time- One hundred and ninety-five years bad I sounded these awful warnings, when I was broken by the hands of inconsiderate and careless men. In tbe year 1790 I was cast into the furnace1, refounded at London, and returned to my sacred vocation. Reader! thou also shalt know a resurrection, may ttr be to eternal life!" Henry VIII. looked upon bells as » useful means of addition to his la* come, and nothing more, and owing to his vandalism in this direction, many valuable and beautiful old belle disappeared with -other church property to be sold for their value asmetal. Many curicus things happened' when these bells were removed whicte gave rise to nnnumerable legends. A t Lynn and at Yarmouth ships carrying: bells to foreign ports foundered and. sank, and the wrecking of a vessel; carrying fourteen of the bells of Jersey at the entrance of St. Malo Har* bour gave rise to tbe legend that when the wind blows the drowned bells are pealing. Sir Miles Partridge, who won tbe Jesus Bells of St. Paul's from King Henry when playing at dice wae shortly after hanged on Tower Hilt, and, perhaps mopt remarkable of all* a certain Bishop of Bangor, who, having sold tbe bells of his cathedral, went to see them shipped, was forthwith stricken with blindness.—London Globe. * L E G E N D S O F C H U R C H B E L L S I waa startled "by the, oound of awornarva vc&ce* Forces of Llofrf;. 4 The late Arthur McEwen, a famous journalist of.San Francisco and New York, was once engaged in a political fight in the California city in wbfek the better clement was arrayed against the bosses and.their folia-were* and the better element was getting decidedly the worst of it.

"Your daughter inherits your malady Tonight she ;gave way to an aggressive form of the -madness which at intemds wrecks your life." "Impossible!" exclaimed the wretched woman. She stared ,at me with glittering eyes. I gave her a faithful version of the incident which had just transpired. When I had done speaking she covered her face with her hands. "Has all my suffering and self-denial been in vain then?" she cried < "Havejffot ail the years of loneliness, of horror, sufficed to avert the curse?" "Try to calm yourself," I said. "Mrs. Joliffe, I do not think this marriage ought to be allowed to go on." She faced me defiantly, "It must," she cried. "I can think of no one but Laura, and you are bound in tyonor not to betray me. I know, none better, the workings of the Insidious malady. Have I not gone through it all? tonight, but tomorwill father part is to obey my directions implicitly. If you refuse, I shall consider myself absolved from my promise, and will tell Maxwell the entire truth." "I will do anything you wash," she whispered hoarsely. "This box which I have ibrought with .me from townALcontinued, "contains capsules. Yhese capsules are made of gelatine, and each ctf them balds a certain dose. The medicine is rof a new and important kind. In ray opinion and that of Dr. Everard it .acts directly upon the higher nervous centers. There is a strong possibility, Mrs. Joliffe, that within this box there lies the cure of your daughiter'< s .ailment. She must take three of the§e eapsules daily. Get her to promise you this. Give her one when she wakes in the morning, give her an- <©ther ,before she leaves here with her husband. Make her vow that she will mot omit to take thuee daily." "I waiN do so," she answered. "God bless you, Dr. Halifax. Have you any thing more to say?" "Yes; Miss Joliffe must also furnish you with her address. There are enough capsules in that box to last her exactly a month. If they do anything for her, she will probably be obliged to continue the cure Tor several months. I must be placed in a position to be able to supply her with more capsules; tbe whole thing is an experiment, and it may fail, but. it is the best I can do." The tears sprang to Mrs. Jollffe's eyes. "You are a good man," she said. "You shall be obeyed in every particular." Tbe next day Laura and Maxwell were married.

The Quintards had not prospered on the barren lands of the pine woods whither they had emigrated to escape tne malaria of the low coast, but this no longer mattered, for the last of his name and race, old General Qulntard, was dead In the great house his father bad built almost a century before and the thin acres of tbe Barony, where he had made his last stand against age and poverty, were to Claim him, now that he had given up the struggle in their midst Though he had lived continuously at t|ie Barony for almost a quarter of a century, tbere was none among his neighbors who could say he had looked on that thin, aquiline face In all that time. Yet they had known much of him, for the gossip of the slaves, who had been his only friends in these years he had chosen to deny himself to other friends, had gone far and wide over the county. That notable man of business, Jonathan Crenshaw, was closeted In the library with a stranger to whom rumor fixed the name of Bladen, supposing him to be the legal representatives of certain remote connections of the old general's. Crenshaw sat before the flat-topped mahogany desk with several accountboo& a before him. Bladen stood by the window. "I suppose you will buy in the property when it comes up for sale?" the latter was saying. Crenshaw nodded. "He lived entirely alone, saw no one, I understand?" said Bladen, "Alone with his two or three old •laves—yes, sir. He wouldn't even aee me." There was a brief pause, then Cren- Bhaw spoke again. "I reckon, sir, if you know anything about the old gentleman's private affairs you don't feel no call to speak on that point?" he observed. | * A J i I know Is this: General Qulntard was a conspicuous man in these parts fifty years ago; he married a Beaufort." "So he did," said Crenshaw, "and there was one child, a daughter; she married a South Carolinian by the name of Turbervilie. Great folks, those TuTbervilies, rolling rich." "And what became of the daughter <wbo married Turbervilie?" i *4Died years ago," said Crenshaw. Tfeey were interrupted by a knock a t the door. bal Wayne Hazard/ That is all the general ever said on the matter/' The old general was borne across what had once been the west lawn to his resting-place i a the neglected acre where the dead and gone of his race lay, and the record of the family was complete, as far as any men knew. Then Crenshaw, assisted by Bob Yancy, proceeded to secure the great house against Intrusion. They passed from room to room securing doors and windows, and at last stepped out upon the back porch. "Hullo!" said Yancy, pointing. There on a bench by the kitchen door was Hannibal Wayne Hazard asleep, with his old spo'tin' rifle across his knees. "Well, I declare to goodness!" said Crenshaw. "I reckon you'd rather drop a word with yo' missus before you toted him home?" suggested Yancy, who knew something of the nature of his friend's domestic thraldom. "A woman ought to be boss In her own house," said Crenshaw. /Feelln' the truth of that, I've never married, Mr. John. But I was going to say, what's to hinder me from toting that boy to my home?" "If you'll take the boy," Bob, you shan't lose by it." Yancy rested a big knotted hand on the boy's shoulder. "Come, wake up, sonny!" The child roused with a start and stared into the strange bearded face that was bent toward him. "It's yo' Uncle Bob," continued Yancy in a wheedling tone. "Here, give us the spo'tin' rifle to tote!" Yancy balanced the rifle on < his great palm and his eyes assumed a speculative cast. "I wonder what's to binder us from of Scratch Hill the boy Hannibal followed at Yancy's heels as that gentleman pursued the not arduous rounds of temperate industry which made up hie dally life, for if Yancy were not completely idle he was responsible for a counterfeit presentment of idleness having most of the merits of the real article. The Barony had been offered for sale and bought in by Crenshaw for eleven thousand dollars, this being the amount of his claim.. Some six months later he sold the plantation for fifteen thousand dollars to Nathaniel Ferris, of Currituck county. 'There's money in the old place, Bob, at that figure/' Crenshaw told Yancy. "Bladen's got an answer from them South Carolina Quintards, and they don't know nothing about the boy," added Crenshaw. "So you can rest easy, Bob; they ain't going to want him." "Well, sir, that surely is a passel of comfort to me. I find I got all the instincts of a father without having had none of the instincts of a husband." A richer, deeper realization of his joy came to Yancy when he had turned his back on Balaam's Cross Roads and set out for home through the fragrant silence of the pine woods. Just beyond the Barony, which was midway between Balaam's and the Hill, down the long stretch of sandy road he saw two mounted figures, then as they drew nearer he caught the flutter of skirts and recognized one of the horsewomen. It was Mrs. Ferris, wife of the Barony's new owner. She reined in her horse abreast of his cart. "Aren't you Mr. Yancy?" she asked. "I am Mrs. Ferris, and I am very A: • / , ' ! *•' "Come in," said Crenshaw. The door opened and a small boy entered the room dragging after him a long rifle.

'"Please, sir, I want this here old spo'tin* rifle," said the child. "I reckon you may keep it—at least I've no objection." Crenshaw glanced at Bladen. "Oh, by all meansV' said the latter. Spaams of delight shook the small figure. With a murmur that was meant for thanks he backed from the room, closing the door. Bladen glanced inquiringly at Crenshaw, "Ifou want to know about him, sir? Well, that's Hannibal Wayne Hazard. But who Hannibal Wayne Hazard is —fast wait a minute, sir"—and quitting bis chair Mr. Crenshaw hurried from the room to return almost immediately with a tail countryman. ' " M r .

Shy children from the pine woods, big brothers with little sisters and big sisters with little brothers, drifted out of the encircling forest. Mrs. Ferris' missionary spirit manifested itself agreeably enough on the whole. She read certain chapters from the Bible, finishing with the story of David, a narrative that made a deep impression upon Yancy. comfortably seated In the doorway. "You will all be here next Sunday, won't you?-—and at the same h o u r f she said, rising. There was a sudden clatter of hoofs beyond the' door. A man, well dressed and well mounted had ridden into the yard. As Mrs. Ferris came from the cabin he flung himself out of the saddle and, hat in hand, approached her. "I am hunting a place called the Barony; ,can you tell me if I am on the right road?" he asked. He was a man in the early thirties, graceful and powerful of build, with * handsome face. "It is my husband you wish to see? 1 am Mrs. Ferris." "Then'General Qulntard Is a e a d r His tone was one of surprise. "His death occurred over a year ago, and my husband now owns the Barony; were you1 a friend of the gen* eraTs?" "No, madam; he was my father's friend, but I had hoped to meet him."

I should highly value the privilege," then his eyes rested on Miss Malroy. "Betty, let me present Captain Murrell." The captain bowed, giving her a glance of bold admiration. By this time the children had straggled off into the pine woods as silently as they had assembled ;* only Yancy and Hannibal remained. Mrs. Ferris turned to the former. "If you will close the cabin door. Mr. Yancy, everything will be ready for next Sunday," she said, and moved toward the horses, followed by Murrell. Betty Malroy lingered for a moment at Hannibal's side. "Good-by, little boy; you must ask your Uncle Bob to bring you up to the big house to see me," and stooping she kissed him. "Good-by, M r .

"You say your father was a friend of the old general's?" said Bladen: "YearB ago, in the north—yes," answered Murrell. Murrell regarded the lawyer in silence for a moment out of his deeply sunk eyes. "Too bad about the boy," he said at length slowly. "How do you mean, Captain?" asked Bladen. "I mean it's a pity he has no one except Yancy to look after him,", said Murrell; but Bladen showed no interest and Murrell went on: "Ha* Yancy any legal claim on the boy?" "No, certainly not; the boy Was merely left with Yancy because Crenshaw didn't know what else to de with him." ttiet possession of, him, and If 1 don't buy land here I'll take him west with me/' said Murrell quietly.

At best wood will rot and, we have adopted fhe plan now of replacing the wooden post with one made of concrete. A rectangular box is made tapering from six inches at.the base to four inches at the top and eight feet long, open along one side. This box is made with only two sides tapering, the others are straight. In the ends of the box we bore four holes, near the outer edge, for the,admission of four strands of galvanized through the box from end to end and made taut. The box is then laid on its side, the open side up, and filled with concrete: One part best Portland cement, three parts sand and water to make quite wet.. With a trowel the upper surface is smoothed off. A t the upper or smaller end of the post are inserted in the wet concrete two one-quarter inch.,boUs, the head imbedded in the concrete, and the shank protruding an inofi or more. ^The bolts are four inches apart and two inches from the top of the post. inches from the top.

EXCELLENT W A Y T O SET POSTS E x p e r i e n c e Teaches T h a t I t W i l l ' t a s t M u c h L o n g e r W i t h the S m a l l E n d P l a c e d i n the G r o u n d . After many years' experience I have concluded by placing the small end of the post IR the ground. A post will last much longer than with the large end down. The reason for thiB is obvious. When limbs are cut off it always leaves a cut that holds more or less water and where worms have worked the holes are always downward. These poles hold some moisture, but by placing the top end down this moisture runs out and leaves the post dry. At first thought it looks as though the post with the large end up would not make a good appearance. However, says an expert m the Farm and Home, I have generally found that the large end is the straight end, and frequently there is a .crook at the small end'. If this be placed in the ground, the fence when completed looks much better. I also have found that small posts for wire fence last longer than large ones, for they do not hold moisture as long. A post should never be reset until it is well seasoned. The end posts should always be placed in concrete; then there need be no bra/, cing or anchors used.

ON T H E R A P P A H A N N O C K ' 1 I f l l t i - ' The sun had sunk into the distant west; The cannon cease to roar which tell of rest, Rest from the shedding of a nation's blood Rest to lay their comrades 'neath the sod. 'Twas early spring, and calm snd still the night, The moon had risen casting silvery light; On either side of stream the army lay Waiting for morn to renew the fray. The Rappahannock silently flowed on Between tbe hills so fair to look upon; Whose dancing waters tingled with silvery light, Vied in their beauty with the starry night. Bat list! from the northern hill there steals along The softest strain of music and of song— The 1 'Starry Banner," our nation's glorioufc air, To tell to all of gallant flag still there. Then "Hail Columbia'1 a thousand voices siug Witb all their soul and make the hilltops ring. From fire to fire, from tent to tent, then flew The welcome words, "Lad, sing the 'Boys ki Blue.' ' And well they sang, each heart was filled with joy, ~Trom first in rank to little drummer boy. Their lusty cheering reached the southern ear, Men who courted danger knew no fear, And talkin o'er their scanty evening meal, Each did grasp bis trusty blade of steel. Soon upon the northern ear there fell . The air of **Di*ie" which was loved so welt ^ * By everyone who wore the coat of gray, And is still revered and cherished to this day. In "Dixie Land they swore to live or die, That was their watchword, that their battle cry; Then rose on high the wild confederate yell, Resounding over every hill and dell. X. Cheer after cheer went up that starry night. From men as brave as ever saw the light; Now all is still, each aide hag played his part. How simple songs can are a soldier's heart! But hark! from Rappahannock's stream there fioato Another air; but ah, how changed*the notes! Not those that lash men's passions into foam, But richest gem of song—'twas "Home, Sweet Home." Played by a band that touched the very sou)! And down the veteran's cheeks the tear drops stole. Men who would walk to the very cannon's mouth, Now wept like childred, from both North and South. Beneath those well worn coats of gray and blue, Were tender, loving heartt,toth brave and true The sentry stopped and rested on his gun, While back to home his thoughts did quickly run, Thinking of loving wife and children there. With no one left to guard them or to care. > The stripling lad not strong enough to bear "The weight of saber'and knapsack-srear Tried to stop with foolish, boyish* pride The starting tear; as well mifeht atop the tide Of ceaseless rolling ocean just as well/ Asstpp those tears which fast and faster fell, : Then Jo! by mutual sympathy there rose V'f A input tremendous, forgetting they were foes. ?;,-A,shnultaneoua shout whieh-.-raBfc from every voice, & ^|g^nd;j»e»ed to make the very heavens rejoice. ^ ^ P ' ^ > ^ / ^ ^ f t ^ music's charm! one chord doth make us wild: $Mi$$$P, ^^;,/:Bhteh^ge the strain, we weep as little child, •"' * ^ .Ifouch yet another, men charge the hattery gun i And by those martial tones a victory's WJO; * It matters not from whence, how far we roam, No heart so cold that does not love ."Sweet Home." Dsuvtfefeo BY JOMA WOOD r X. mm , As we enter upon our new work, difficulties will arise we know, but remembering the words of our moltof "Onward! Upward!" we will not shirk them for only in the conquering of obstacles may strength and beauty be developed. If we set up a high standard, we will be very apt to succeed in life for 4'What can courage not display, when we scholars lead the way." And now as we leave our places here and go forth tQ meet the trials and joys, of our future school life, there stands, ready and waiting to take our places a band of workers with a purpose as true, with hearts as willing, and with success as sure as ours was two years age, when we first entered upon our high-school' work, To our teacher who has labored so earnestly and faithfully to assist us, who has borne so patiently our failures and shared our joys when ever we have been successful, we offer our most hearty thanks although words are feeble wings on which to bear you the thanks We would send* But we trust in coming years to prove to. you how we accepted your instructions and appreciated your Kindness. And now dear Classmates as we leave this room and all the pleasant memories behind Let us each aim to do our best, To reach a standard high and true: And God will help ns with the rest, If we to him our duty do." AUCE STEVENS P R O P H E C Y Ten years have passed since we were pupils in the little school of District No 6. Many changes have taken place during that time. I find myself in the western wilds of southern Idaho, alighting from a train at Boise City. As I look around not one familiar face greets my vision, I take a cab and go to the nearest hotel and as I go to place my name on the register who shoulcfopen tbe office door but rlarlow Munseli, proprietor of the Crescent Hotel. The surprise was mutual for neither bad expected to see the other in this out of the way place. After resting and taking lunch, I was joined by the landlord in the ladies parlor to take a chat. He asked me why I was there and I told him I wag the expected lecturer on women's rights for at school I was always quiet. H« then offered to show me 'round tbe city which I readily accepted, and as we. walked along the broad avenues, a large and beautiful brick structure met our view.VMy companion said. H Tbis is the celebra\ «d Indian School of the Western reservation district. We will step inside I think you will recognize the matron We rang tbe bell and a tall athletic Indian opened tbe door. We asked to see the matron and were ushered into her private sitting room and who should meet us but Miss Margaret Young our former teacher. She was very much astonished at seeing me so far away from home, I was shown through various departments and as we came to the kindergarden department whom should we find but Miss Alice Stevens hearing a class of juveniles repeat, two plus two equals four, and two less two equals naught. She too was glad to Bee me. In honor of my visit the school was given a quarter holiday. I dined witb tbe matron and teachers and spent a pleasant afternoon talking over old times and inquiring for former school mates. My first inquiry was for Miss Julia Wood and they told me she had become a traine I nurse. They inquired for my sister, Junia Rae Brothers n, and I told them she had gone as a missiouaiv to southern India. My last inquiry was for Miss Elaine McCleer and I waB not at all surprised when they told me she had become a famed poetess for it waa in tbe spring of our last year in school that we discovered she had made her first attempt at writing. The name of her first poem being, " Ade to a Southern breeze. It started out something like this, "O, soft and gentle is the Southern breeze, And may it come before we freeze.'7 They were all very much surprised to bear that I was a lecturer on women's rights. The afternoon waa now well spent and as the time for the lecture drew near I bade my friends good-bye and went back to the hotel to prepare for the coming lecture. The house was filled to overflowing and I did my best to impress upon their minds the necessity of women's voting and 1 think when tbe next presidential election arrives tbe women will ail have a voice in the election.

T . Barnum. s . c HISTORY Just two years ago there came into exsistance a class of five girls and one lone boy, known as the class of 1912, and ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. They chose ag their motto, Onward! Upword! and looking ahead the journey seemed long, the ascent 'irksome, but they were fortunate in having an instructor of wide experience, though still young, who came down as it were, and climbed witb them, smoothing the rough places, kindly ad» monishing, and encouraging all to their best efforts. Thus making the way a pleasure trip and ail too short. Ho we ver they were not without their full share of ups and Bi, to which anybody who happened when the bill was covered with ice, testify^ Their class flower was the simple nafop&us because they had come to that age when the artistic should pre- ( dominate, though we know in their hearts they preferred buckwheat. .And all unmindful of the law of contrast, green and white were selected for their colors. As the years were drawing to a close and and they were congratulating themselves that all would reach the goal, one4 young lady decided to take up teachers work and ileft them and was scon followed, without any excuse, by the only boy. IOU may think it was because he was lonesome, with so many girls, but that could not be possible, as one of the girls fearing this might be the case took it upon herself to make the time outside of school so pleasant that the smile never came off even during the day* Never-the-less there were only four left to complete the journey, which will verv soon be ended and the class of 1912 will to all external appearance be a thing of the past. Yet the influence of its two years of existence will not pans Until each shall answer to the great roll call.

It gives any number of speeds. There are no gears—just a fibre faced wheel running against a tiriction disc. This eliminates jerks in starting. This remarkable simplicity makes disorders practically impossible. This transmission gives a pulling power that will take the cir easily through bad, muddy and sandy roads and even up /)0 per cent grades. With the chain in oil drive there is no waste of power. The self starter makes starting easy. Tliree «tron» brakes give absolute safety under any conditions. Many other features just as good.

"But aren't you half way engaged to me?" he pleaded in justification, seeing the unwonted seriousness with which she had received bis impudent advance. "Didn't you agree to give me a chance?" "I did nay that I liked you very much/' she admitted, "no man better, and that X thought that you might—" "Well, then—" he began. But she would not be interrupted. "I did not mean that you should enjoy all tbe privileges of a conquest before you had won me. I will thank you not to do that again, sir." "It seems to have had a very different effect upon you than it does •upon me," replied the man coolly. "I loved you before, but now, since I have kissed you, I worship you." "it hasn't affected me that way," retorted the girl promptly, her face still frowning and indignant. "Not at all, and—" "Forgive me, EnldV' pleaded the other. "I just couldn't help it. You were so beautiful 1 had to. I took the chance. You are not accustomed to our ways." ' "Is this your habit in your love affairs?" asked the girl swiftly and not without a spice of feminine malice. "I never had any love affair before," he replied with a ready masculine mendacity, "at least none worth mentioning. But you see this Is the west; we have gained what we have by demanding every inch that nature offers, and then claiming the all. That's the way we play tbe game out here and that's tbe way we win." "But I have not yet learned to play the 'game/ as you call it, by any such rules," returned the young woman de- ; terminedly, "and it la not the way to win me if I am the stake," "What Is the way?" aeked the man anxiously. "Show me and I'll take It no matter what its difficulty." "Ah, for me to point out the way would be to play traitor to myself," she answered, relenting and relaxing a little before his devoted wqoing. *"You must find it without assistance. I can only tell you one thing." "And what is that?" "You do not advance toward the goal by such actions as those of a moment since." "Look here," said the other suddenly. "1 am not ashamed of what I did, and I'm not going to pretend that I am, either." "You ought to be/' severely. "Well, maybe so, but I'm not; 1 couldn't help it any more than I could help loving you the minute X saw you. Put yourself In my place." "But I am not in your place, and X can't put myself there. I do not wish to. If it be true, as pou say, that you have, grown to—care so much for me and so quickly—" ^ "If it be> true?" came the sharp in* terruptlon as the man bent toward her, fairly devouring her with bis bold, . ardent gaze. .,<,,.. . ; ;; .. ^ , "Well, since it Is true," she admited under the compulsion of hie protest "That fact is the only possible excuse for your action." " Y o u find some Justification for me, then?" "No, only a possibility, but whether Jtifee fcrue-or not. I do not feel that way-r^yet." There was a saving grace in that last wordy which gave him a little heatt. He would have spoken, but sue suffered no interruption, saying: "I have been .wooed before, but—'' "True, unless the human race has become suddenly blind/' he said softly under his breath. "But never in such ungentle ways/ "I suppose you have never run up against a real red-blooded man like me before." "If red-blooded be evidenced mantty by lacking of self control, perhaps 1 have hot. Yet there are men that 1 have met that would not deed to apologize for their qualities even to you, Mr. James Armstrong." "Don't say t h a t Evidently 1 make but poor, progress i n «ny wooing Never have I met with a Woman like ybnM**~and soma of h ' h a v e repll guage and The difference between their years was not quite so great as he declared, but womanlike the girl let the statement pass unchallenged. "And I wouldn't insult your Intelligence by saying you are the only woman that I have ever made lqye to, but there is a vast difference between making love to a woman and loving hue. I have just found that out for the first time. I marvel at the past, and I am ashamed of It, but X thank Ood that I have been saved for this opportunity. { want to win you, and X am going to do it, too. In many things I don't match up with the people with whom you train. I was born out here, and I've made myself. There are things that have happened in the making that I am not especially proud of, and X am sot at all satisfied with the results, especially since 1 have met you. The better X know you theless pleased X am with Jim Armstrong, but there are possibilities i n me, I rather believe, and with you for inspiration, Ood!"—the man flung out his hand with a fine gesture of determination. "They say that the east and west don't naturally mingle, but It's a lie; you and I can beat the world." The woman thrilled to his gallant wooing. Any woman would have done so; some of them would have lost their heads, but Enid' Maitland was an exceedingly cool young person, for Bhe was not quite swept off her feet, and did not quite lose her balance. "I like to bear you say things like that," she answered. "Nobody quite like you has ever made love to me, and certainly not in your way, and that's the reason I have given you a half way promise to think about It. I was sorry that you could not be with us on this adventure, but now 1 am rather glad, especially if the even temper of my way is to be interrupted by anything like the outburst of a few minutes since." "I am glad, too," admitted the man "For I declare I couldn't help it. If X have to be with you either you have got to be mine or else you would have to decide that It could never be, andv then I'd go oft and fight it out." "Leave me to myself," said the girl earnestly "for a little while; it's best so; I would not take the finest, noblest man on earth—" "And I am not that." "Unless I loved him. There Is something very attractive about your personality; I don't know in my heart whether It is that, or—" "Good," said the man, as she hesitated. "That's enough." He gathered up the reins and whirled his horse suddenly in the road. "I am going back. I'll wait for your return to Denver, and then—" "That's best," answered the girl. She stretched out her hand to him, leaning backward. If he had been a different kind of a man he would have kissed it; as it was he took it in his own hand and almost crushed it with a fierce grip. "We'll shake on that, little girl," he said, and then without a backward glance he put spurs to his horse and galloped furiously down the road. No, she decided then and there, she did not love him, not yet. Whether she ever would she could not tell. And yet she was half bound to him. The recollection of bis kiss was not altogether a pleasant memory; he had not done himself any good by that bold assault upon her modesty, that reckless attempt to rifle the treasure of her lips. No man had ever really touched her heart^aithough many had engaged her interest. Her experience therefore was not definitive or conclusive. If she had truly loved James Armstrong, in spite of all that she might have said,'she would have thrilled to the rofhembrance of that wild earless. T h e chances, therefore, wore somewhat heavily against him that morning as he rode down the trail alone. His experiences In love affairs were much greater than; hers.' She was by no means the first woman he had kissed—remember, suspicious reader, that he was not from Philadelphia-* hers were not the first ears into which b e / h a d poured passionate protestations. He was neither bet* ter nor worse than most men, perhaps be fairly enough represented this average; but surely .fat*; bad something better in store for1 such a superb woman. A girl of such* attainments and such Infinite possibilities, she must mate higher than,with the average man. Perhaps there w a r * subconsciousness of this i n her mind as the silently waited to be overtaken by the rest pf the party. There were. curious glances; arid strange speculations i n that little company as they saw her sitting her horse alone. JL^ew^aoments before ghe Actually Fried the Bacon Herself. what troubled present aspect. She threw off her preoccupation Instantly and easily, however, and joined readily enough in the merry conversation of the way. Mr. Robert Maitland, as Armstrong has said, had known him from a boy. There were things in his career of which Maitland did not and could not approve, but they were of the past, he reflected, and Armstrong was arter all a pretty good sort Mr. Maitlands standards were not at all those of his Philadelphia brother, but they were very high. His experiences of men had been different; he thought that Armstrong, having certainly by this time reached years of discretion, could be safely entrusted with the precious treasure of the young girl who had been committed to his care, and for whom his affection grew as his knowledge of and acquaintanceship with her Increased. As for Mrs. Maitland and the two girls and the youngster, they were Armstrong's devoted friends. They knew nothing about his past, indeed there were things in It of which Maitland himself was Ignorant, and which had they been known to him might have caused him to withhold even his tentative acquiescence In the possibilities. Most of theae thinat were known to old Kirkby, who with masterly skill, amusing nonchalance aad amazing profanity, albeit most of?it under his breath l i s t he shock the ladles, tooled along tbe four nervous, excited bronchos that drew the big supply wagon. Kirkby was Maitland'* oldest and meat valued friend. He had been the letter's deputy sheriff, he had been a cowboy and a lumberman, a mighty hunter and a successful miner, aad now,,although he had acquired.a reasonable competence, and had a nice little wife and a pleasant home In the mountain village i t the.entrance to the canon,, he drove stage for pleasure rather than for profit He had given over his dally twenty-five mile jaunt from Morrison to Troutdftle to other hands for a short space that he might spend a little time with his old friend aad the family who were an greatly 'attached to him on this outing. Enid Maitland, a girl of a kind that Kirkby had never seen before, had won the old man's heart during the weeks spent on tbe Maitland ranch. He had grown fond of her, and he did not think:that Mr, James Armstrong merited that which he evidently so overwhelmingly desired* Kirkby was well along In years, but he wm, quite for In knee, his long whip tn his hand, his keen and somewhat fierce brown eyes taking in every detail ef what was going on about him. Indeed there was but little that came before him that old Kirkby did not see. C H A P T E R III. The Story and the Letters. Imagine, if you please,. the forest primeval; yes, the murmuring pines and the hemlocks of the poem as well, by the side of a rapidly rushing mountain torrent fed by the eternal snows of the lofty peaks of the great range. A level stretch of grassy land where a mountain brook joined the creek was dotted with clumps of pines and great boulders rolled down from the everlasting bills—half an acre of open clearing. On the opposite side of the brook the canon wail rose almost sheer for perhaps five hundred feet, ending in jagged, needle-edged pinnacles of rock, sharp, picturesque and beautiful. A thousand feet above ran the timber line, and four thousand feet above that the crest of the greatest peak in the main range. The white tents of the little encstnpment which bad gleamed so brightly in the clear air and radiant sunshine of Colorado* now stood dim and ghostlike in the red reflection of a huge campflre. It waa the evening of the first day in the wilderness. For two days since leaving the wagon, the Maitland party with its long train of burros heavily pacfed, its horsemen and the steady plodders on foot, had advanced Into unexplored and almost Inaccessible retreats of the mountains)—Into the primitive In* deed! In this (delightful spot they had pitched their tents and the permanent camp had been made. Wood was abundant, the water at hand was as cold as Ice, as clear as crystal and as soft as milk. There was pasturage for the horses'and burros oa the other side of the mountain brook. Tbe whole place was a little amphitheater which humanity occupied perhaps the first time since creation. Unpacking the burros, setting dp the tents, making the camp, building the fire, had used up tbe late remainder of the day which was theirs when they had arrived. Opportunity would come tomorrow to explore the country, to climb the range, to try the stream, that tumbled down a succession of waterfalls to the right of the camp and roared and rushed merrily around its feet until, swelled by tbe volume of the brook, It lost itself in tfee-^ad depths far beneath. Tonight rest after labor, tomorrow play, after rest The evening meal was over, jgntd uld not -help think with what and contempt her father would regarded the menu, how his gorge ve risen-hers, too, for u m matter!—bad i t bean placed before him on the old colonial mahogany of the dining-room in Philadelphia. But up there in the wilds she had eaten the coarse homely fare with the zest and relish of the most seasoned ranger of the hills. Anxious to be of service, she had burned her hands and smoked her hair and scorched her face by usurping the functions of the young ranchman who had been brought along as cook, and had actually fried the bacon herself! Imagine a goddess with a frying pan! The black thick coffee and the condensed milk, drunk from the granite ware cup, had a more delicious aroma and a more delightful taste than the finest Mocha and Java in the daintiest porcelain of France. Optimum condlmentum. The girl was frankly ravenously hungry, the air, the altitude, the exertion, the excitement made her able to eat anything and enjoy It. She was gloriously beautiful, too; even her brief experience i n the west had brought back the missing roses to her cheek, and had banished the bistre circles from beneath her eyes. Robert Maitland, lazily reclining propped up against a boulder, his feet to the fire, smoking an old pipe that would have given his brother the norrors, looked with approving complacency upon ber, confident *nd satisfied that his prescription was working well. Nor was he the only one who looked at her that way. Marlon and Emma, his two daughters, worshipped their handsome Philadelphia cousin and they sat one on either side of her on the great log lying between the tents and the fire. Even Bob Junior condescended to give her approving glances. The whole camp was at her feet. Mrs. Maitland had been greatly taken by her young niece. Kirkby made no secret of his devotion, Arthur Bradshaw and Henry Philips, each a "tenderfoot" of the extremist character, friends of business connections in the east, who were spending their vacation with Maitland, ahared Iq the general devotion; to say nothing of George the Cook and Pete, the packer and horse wrangler. Philips, who was an old acquaintance of Enid'8, had tried his luck with her back east and had sense enough to accept as final his failure. Bradshaw was a solemn young man without that keen sense ot humor which was characteristic of the west. The others were suitably dressed for adventure, for Bradshaw's Idea of an appropriate costume was distinguished chiefly by long green felt puttees which swathed his huge calves and excited curious Inquiry and ribald comment from the surprised denizens of each mountain hamlet through which they had passed, to all of which Bradshaw remained serenely oblivious. The young man, who does enter espe- "It Was In These Very Mountains/' field Robert Maitland. dally Into tat* tale, waa a vestryman of the church In his home fn the suburbs of Philadelphia. His piety had been put to a severe strath in the mountains, _ Tbat day everybody had to work on the trail—everybody wanted to for that matter. Tbe hardest labor consisted In tbe driving of the burros. Unfortunately there was no good and trained. leader among them through an unavoidable mistake, and the camp, era had. greet difficulty i n xeepto*tbe burros on the trail. To Arthur Brad* shaw had been allotted the most Obstinate, cross-grained and determined of the unruly band, and old Kirkby an4 George paid particular attention to Instructing him in the gentle*art of manipulating him over the rocky mountain trail, "Wall," said Kirkby with his soma* what languid, drawling, nasal voice, "that there burro's like a ship w'tch I often seed 'em w'e'svl was a kid down east afore 1 come out to Clod'*, country, Nature has pervlded 'em with a you shoved the, helium over xp the left. Sta'boad an' port was the terms i s I recollects/em. It's jest the same with burros, you takes 'em by the tiller, that* by the tall, git a good tight twist on it an' ef you want him to head to the right slew his-stern sheets around to the left an' yon got to be keerfui you don't git n o ' k i c k back w'lch ef It lands on you is worse 'ii the ree-coll of a mule." Arthur faithfully followed directions, narrowly escaping the outraged brute's small but sharp pointed heels on occasion. His efforts not being productive of much success, finally in his despair he resorted to brute strength; he would pick the little animal up bodily, pack and all—he was a man of powerful physique—and swing him around until his head pointed In the right direction; then with a prayer that the burro would keep It there for a few rods anyway, ho would set him down and start him a l l over again* Tbe process oft repeated became monotonous after awhile. Arthur was a slow thinking man, deliberate in action ; he stood it as long as he possibly could. Kirkby, who rode one horse and led two others, and therefore waa exempt from burro driving, observed him with great interest He and Bradshaw had strayed way behind the rest of the party. At last Arthur's resistance, patience and piety, strained to the breaking point, gave way suddenly. Primitive Instincts rose to the surface and overwhelmed him like a flood. He deliberately sat down on a fallen tree by the side of a trail, the burro halting obediently, turned and faced him with hanging head, apparently conscious that he merited the disapprobation that was being heaped upon him, for from the desperate tenderfoot there burst forth so amazing, so fluent, so comprehensive a torrent of assorted profanity, that even the old past master In objuration was astonished and bewildered. Where did Bradshaw, mild and Inoffensive, get it? His proficiency would have appalled his rector aad amazed bis fellow vestrymen. Not the Jackdaw of RheJms himself was so cursed as that little burro. Kirkby sat on bis horse in fits of silent laughter until the tears rah' down his cheek, the only outward and visible expression of his mirth. > Arthur only stopped when he had thoroughly emptied himself, possibly of an accumulation of years of repression. "Wall," said Kirkby, "you sure do overmatch any one I ever heard Wen it comes to cursln'; w'y, you could gimme cards an' spades an' beat me, an' I was thought to have some gift that-a-way In the old days." "1 didn't begin to exhaust myself/' answered Bradshaw, shortly, "and what I did say didn't equal tbe situation. I'm going home." "1 wouldn't do that," urged the old man, "Here, you take the horses an* I'll tackle the burro." "Gladly," said Arthur. "I would rather ride an elephant and drive a herd of them than waste another minute on this Infernal little mule." The story was too good to keep, and around the camp fire that night Kirkby drawled it forth. There was a freedom and easiness of intercourse In . the camp, which was natural enough. Cook, teamster, driver, host, guest, men, women, children, and 1 had almost said burros, stood on the same level. They all ate and lived together.

On the other hand, I regret to say that my observation lias led me to conclude that this city, as well as many others, has been neglectful of one filing which is of para-] mount importance to the health and happiness of her entire population, and that is suitable public comfort stations conveniently located and distinctly prominent. For neglect in this.respect is the primary cause of multitudinous ailments, and among them are headache, indigestion, Blight's disease of the kidneys, rheumatism and so forth. I do not deem it honorable for myeeff, as a medical man, to remain silent on this most important question. City authorities should see that public health and comfort stations be installed as rapidly as possible, designated by understandable signs, and they should advertise the locations in our public newspapers. Not more than one person in a hundred i n the city of Chicago knows of our excellent, finely equipped public comfort station situated i n the City hall at Washington and Lasalle streetg. <5r/Y/>/C/U/JT C£/YT£# //f Y/COPC V a l u e o f C e m e n t M o r t a r a s I r o n S a v e r Tests are to be made by the Panama canal commission to determine the value of cement mortar applied to iron plates by the "cement gun" as a preservative of iron.

HO WLAND The real object i n education is to cultivate i n the child a capacity for self-control or gelf-gdvernment; not a habit of submission to an overwhelming, arbitrary, external power, but a habit of obeying the dictates of honor and duty, as enforced by active Willi power within the child. I n childhood and i n youth it is of the utmost i m - portance to appeal steadily and almost exflWld * 3 l l t V clusively to motives which w i l l be operative in after life. I n too much of our systematic education we appeal to motives which we are^^flre^cannot last; to motives which may answer for little children of 'tlx, ten or twelve, but which are entirely inapplicable to boys or girls ffi Thus Ithe motive of fear is one of these transitory motives on which organized education i n the past has almost exclusive^ relied; yet fear is a very ineffective motive with adults. H a b i t o f O b e y i n g D i c t a t e s o f H o n o r D u t y By DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT K\V methods of warfare and new aims have been introduced Into the industrial world by syndicalism. In the United States'most people made their first acquaintance with it through the strikes at Lawrence, Mass., and at Pater son, N . J . Even then they learned little of its principles. Yet many students of the labor questions believe that those principles will have to be reckoned with more and more. Therefore an account is given here of syndicalism up to date. In an address delivered before the Sociological society in England a few days ago A. J. Balfour declared that syndicalism has been brought into being by the apparent failure of the par* 1 i amen tar y system. "It is a pathetie fact," he said, "but . many of the most earnest men of Europe regard the representative system as almost played out. It is pathetic when you think with what high hopes each successive development of tbe representative system has started out." Sjftidfcalists have given up all hope of attaining their ends through parliamentary or legislative action and look to other means for securing social reforms. Direct action is the epitome of the syndicalist platform: You want something? If you are strong enough to compel the people to give it to you. take' i t Syndicalists do not preach plunder, neither do they say: If ydu want something, ask' for it. No. You must demonstrate that unless a certain thing you desire is given to you. .you are in a position to destroy "passively" property equal or superior in value to that certain thing. Mow the Idea Works Out. Every striker knows that and the idea is not original. What is original, however, is the application of this principle to* every act of civic life. Syndicalists are modem if anything. They do not believe in a millenium in which love and brotherhood will be the only motives of human action. On the'other hand, they refuse to share the_anarchist*s scorn for modern civftjzatfcn^ amt-hhr hankefing-foT^TTT* turn to nature. They are practical and businesslike. The past Is dead -and the future is unknown. The immediate needs of the present hour are to them the sole object of Interest. Consider now the application of the syndicalist theory. The primary aim of labor unions Is to have the work of the world done by their members only; secondly, they are trying to keep out of their ranks as many workingmen as possible, so that their members will And employment all the year round; finally, they wisfi to secure for their ployed members the highest not only been stimulated by this gospel and led by its '--kief representatives, Tom Mann, Ben Tillett and others, but from tbe very first they have been an actual application of the new Idea and have marked a long step toward the complete reorganization of the British unions. They were started with the seamen's strike in June, 1911, when the dockers in many places struck in sympathy, at the same time adding demands of their own. When the seamen won their strike they refuse* o go back to work at several places until the dockers received what they were striking for. With the dockers were involved teamsters. The railway strife was largely due to the fact that tbe railway unions* decided to co-operate with this federation. It Invented Sabotage. If the syndicate Is not strong enough to win a strike, or if as it has happened several time in France the government interferes and fills with soldiers the places left vac-ant by strikers, the workingmen are directed to give in, resume work and begin a new form of strike, sabotage. The word "sabotage" wzs coined in 1894 by Pouget, the most powerful French organizer. Sabotage never was generally or effectively applied until a year ago, when the French railroad men lost their big strike. Tbe strike only lasted three days. Then Premier Briand issued an order making every railroader a reservist, and all went back to work as soldiers, some 3.500 of them were discharged and then the silent strike began; sabotage was kept up until every one of the 3,500 employes had been reinstated. Every man began to discharge his duties In strict accordance with tbe letter of the rules. Railroad men acted like the Chinese tailor who had been commissioned by a foreign consul to make a duplicate1 of a suit of clothes given him as a model and who carried out his instructions exactly— so exactly. In fact, that a patch on the trousers, a torn belt on the waistcoat and two grease spots on the coat were carefully duplicated on the new garment. Station men would work faithfully until the precise minute when they were supposed to quit, and then allow a freight car they had.been moving to crash to the bottom of an incline or to obstruct the path of incoming trains. Repair gangs would keep on repairing the track in front of a limited, delaying C O N F L I C T A T S A N J A C I N T O Alphonse Steele of Lone Star State Tells of Battle That Won Independence for Texas. The celebration of the anniversary of the battle of San Jacinto ^ a s an!* event of special significance 'to A l - phonse Steele of Mexia, Texas, who ia tbe sole survivor of the little army of Tezans who. commanded by General Sam Houston, met and crushed completely tbe overwhelming force o f Mexican soldiers upon that batlefield. When only 17 years old, Steele left Hardin county. Kentucky, where he> was born, and went down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers In a boat to> Lake Providence. LA., where be worked until November, 1835, when her joined a company of volunteers, commanded by Captain Daggett and marched to Old Washington, Texas. It was found on reaching that place> that Texas bad not yet declared h e r independence, and the company o f soldiers disbanded. Steele remained in Washington until the Declaration of Independence was signed, whereupon be immediately started for San Antonio to join Travis and aid in defending the Alamo. While on bis* way be learned that the Alamo had fallen. In company with other patriots he then preceded down the Colorado river and joined the army which General Houston was gathering about him. As General Houston and his gathering force of patriots and adventurers moved onward toward the Buffalo bayou and the San Jacinto river. General Santa Ana and his army followed closely, hoping to get the Texans in a close position and make an attack. The Texas army found itself In a cornered position on April 21, 1S36, and In order that It might be a fight to the death tbe only bridge leading across the water course over which retreat might be made was destroyed by order of General Houston. Mr. Steele gives an interesting description of the battle of San Jacinto, which took place on that day. He says: "After dinner on April 21 Santa for an hour and disorganizing the [Ana, who was close upon us, received salary for the shortest possible day's work. When fighting for recognition of their unions or for higher pay union men confer and sign agrements with their employers, thereby recognizing them formally. Work for All, No Employers. Syndicates, on tbe Other hand, wish to secure employment for every human being willing to earn a livelihood. Their primary aim is so to shorten the working day so that there shall not be any workers out of employment. Secondly, regarding ' the employers as mere parasites, they aim at driving them out by demanding a steadily higher wage until the workers receive the fall value of their labor. They : ever confer with employers and never sign any agreements with them. One labor union can only admit men belonging to one craft Locomotive engineers, telegraph operators and ticket agents may be working for tbe same railroad, but cannot belong to the same union. Syndicates, on the contrary, bind all workers in one solid union, divided up for local convenience into groups of more closely allied interests. Take, for instance, the employes of a steel mill. According to the union system steel workers, machinists, truckmen, stationary engineers. blacksmiths, should belong to different groups. A syndicate would admit* every one employed in the mill, from the janitor to the foreman, from the office boy to the stenographer. Finally the labor unions have reduced to the strictest minimum the number of apprentices. Syndicalists of France, Italy, England and America agree on calling this a crime against the rights.of the individual. As Haywood put it: See Evil of Trade Union Rules. "The penitentiaries of this country and of Europe are filled with young boys whom unions have prevented from learning an honest trade.1' The antagonism between syndicalists and union laborers is well illustrated by the fact that in Scranton, Pa., union men have been helping the police in breaking a strike organized by syndicalists. It can easily be seen what, tremendous power syndicates may wield owing to this system of organization. Should only one class of employes, say the spinners, Walk out of a woolen mill, production would be at a standstill until the strike was, ove^ri Whether .the " ^ ' however'^t da it schedule, or else let it pass over a stretch of unfastened rails, and consequently sink Into the roadbed. What distinguishes syndicalists from unionists and socialist is their absolute internationalism. Socialists are naturally suposed to be citizens of the world, but whenever there appears a war cloud on the horizon French and German socialiFts wilt very speedily under the pressure of public opinion and join the bellicose chorus of patriots. Would Abolish War. Syndicalists, on the contrary, try to get together and to avert the war peril by threatening their governments with reprisals in the form of a strike or a civil war. A good example of this method of proceeding was the syndicalist meeting held in Paris last August, when France. Germany, England and Spain seemed on the point of drawing swords over the Moroccan imbroglio. Schmidt, Bauer and Silberschmidt speaking in behalf of the German, Barris and Negre of the Spanish. Koltheck of the Dutch, Tom Mann of the English. Yvetot, Savoie and Merrheim of tbe French syndicalists, declared that their constituencies were absolutely opposed to war, and proclaimed the brotherhood of European workingmen. A month before Yvetot, the secretary of the Associated Labor Council of France, had been invited to address the Berlin syndicalists. His speech, the importance of which was fully appreciated by the imperial government, which ordered him to be immediately expelled, contained among other things the following remarks addressed to the French and German governments: "Just try once, you blockheads, to stir up one people against the other, to arm one people against the other; you will see if the people won't make an entirely different-«se of the weapons, you put into their hands. Wait and see if. the people don't go to war •against an entirely .different enemy than you expect." Rght Militarism. The French and Italian syndicalists are fighting militarism with tooth and nail, for a standing army is an ever present danger in case of strikes. As early as 1903 the government of Holland broke a general strike by tbe use of the army to operate tbe railroads, and the same thing was done in Hungary in the following year. Indeed, these measures had such success that the Hungarian government went further two years later and took away the right of organization from the agricultural laborers, while at the tame time It used the army as strike breakers In harvest time and made permanent arrangements for doing this In a similar contingency in the future. Syndicates conduct In all barracks an active underground propaganda by means of small pamphlets easily concealed In the pocjtft As a result of about 500 additional troops under command of General Cos. We received orders to prepare for battle. We advanced upon the Mexicans in the following order: Houston, with his artillery, in the center; the cavalry on the right and Colonel Sherman with his troops on our left. The Mexicans had thrown up breastworks out of their baggage about 100 yards south of a belt of timber, where they had stationed their artillery. "Santa Ana's right wing was placed in a thick grove of timber. When we got up pretty close General Houston sent word to Colonel Sherman to attack this position. We were ordered to move forward and hold our fire until orders were given. When we got within sixty or seventy yards we^were ordered to fire. 'Then all discipline so far as Sherman's troops were concerned was at an end. We were all firing as rapidly as possible and the man who first got We Were A l l Firing as Rapidly <*s Possible. his gun reloaded moved on, not waiting for orders. I rushed into the timber and fired again. When the second volley was poured into them in that timber they broke and ran. "I was running on 'a little in front of our men when I was shot down.

I made the acquaintance of Sir John Trefeenna jcoen that well-known British scientist was visiting New York In company with his wife. He was seized with a severe attack of appendicitis, and it was to an operation performed by me at the eleventh hour that he owed his recovery. We grew tp be warm friends, having discovered that we had many* tastes In common; among others, a liking for exploring the mysteries of the skies. For Tregenna was a noted astronomer, and the proud possessor of one of the largest telescopes in England. During the following year I gave up practise, except in cases where I was called in consultation. I had resolved on taking a good long rest, and paying a promised visit to Tregenna. He and his wife were then at their London residence, and I was surprised and pleased to find that Sir John numbered among his intimate friends si former great chum of mine—Dr. Horace Collett. The latter had studied medicine with me, but later had settled In London, where his brilliant talents and American push earned him a place in the front rank of the British medical fraternity. He was the Tregennas' family physician and was much esteemed by them. Sir John had been married several years, but had no children. This fact might possibly account for the gloom which occasionally overshadowed his features, for he owned a large property in Cornwall bearing the name of Tregenna Manor, and as this was, according to English law, strictly entailed, it would go to a distant branch of the family If he died without issue. About this time a total eclipse of the sun was expected to take place In Ceylon and Southern India. Having never seen the great world of light under these interesting circumstances, I gladly accepted an invitation from Tregenna to join a party of solar spec- "troscopists who were starting for India under his leadership. We arrived at our destination in good time, and had the satisfaction of witnessing a total eclipse of nearly six minutes' duration. Having made our observations In the hill country, we immediately afterward started for the coast. On a certain intensely hot night Tregenna and I were standing on the veranda outside one of the big hotels at Madras, when he said abruptly: ."I am rather worried about my wife, Halifax." "Is not Lady Tregenna in good health?" I queried. "I hope so," he said slowly, and then added with a sudden burst of confidence: 'The truth is, Halifax, that when I left England there was a hope that Lady Tregenna might present me with an heir to the property. It was imperative that I should accompany this expedition, or I would not |have left home at such a critical time. I expected news before now. It was arranged that Dr. Collett was to cable to me here. The silence makes me rather uneasy." He had scarcely finished speaking when a servant appeared, bearing two cablegrams on a salver. One was addressed to Tregenna, the other to myself. I noticed that he changed color as he took his from the salver. Out of consideration for him I left the veranda and entered the heated room where we had just dined. I opened my cablegram. It was from Collett, written In cipher, and contained a good deal of valuable information regarding certain discoveries in medicine which corresponded closely with some I had made myself. But the final news in the message startled and distressed me: "Your fellow-traveler, Sir John t r e - genna, Is disappointed of his hope of an heir. Lady Tregenna gave birth to a boy this morning, WJJO only lived an hour.* Sir John's eager face, the look in his eyes when he spoke of an heir to his property, flashed painfully now before my mental vision. The blow he was about to receive was a cruel one. I had Just thrust the cablegram Into my pockety when Tregenna rushed Into t^:;l9<!|a^ # ""$he gasped excitedly, "I contain myself, the reen se. T am the father , and the property Is was a serious error did not dare to tell ad received. His exgreat that to dash ie ground might almost kill him. "You do not realize what this means to me,* he said. "If I have an enemy in the world, it is the man who was to have succeeded me at the Manor. Hie name is Dayrell Tregenna. But the coming of the boy makes i t all right. I am surprised, though, to find that Dr. Collett did not send the cable. It was sent by a Dr. Mason. Collett could not nave been In attendance. I shall leave for home tomorrow. Wish me luck, Halifax," ••With all my heart," I * But \ tbe thought \ of the. lay i n my own brej the word* tfestj "When :y<UHiBssssssssssssssssssssK«^ can lief of a •saved^^y I Bafpgfc eomewfcsra, h i m f h U i citeme his hop self. I only wish we were there now, Halifax."' The next morning Tregenna sailed fpr England, but it so happened that I did not leave India for several months. During that time I was concerned to hear that my special friend, Dr. Collett, who had sent me the cipher cable, had died suddenly. His death had taken place on the very day on which I had received the message. We were greatly attached to each other, and had been associated in more than one investigation, of Interest. Two days before M e n Calcutta for England I received the following from Tregenna. "Dear Halifax: I am given to understand that you will be back in the metropolis some time in June. 1 hope as soon as ever you arrive you will come straight down to Tregenna Manor. I want to show you the boy. He is as fine a lad as the heart of a father could desire. Dayrell is jstill in the country, and sometimes visits at the Manor, but with my heir to look at, I no longer mind him. In short, I breathe freely. Yours, John Tregenna." I was altogether unprepared to receive a letter written in this strain in view of what I had heard from Collett. I had preserved the cablegram, and now took it and read K otver carefully. There was no doubt whatever of the meaning of the words. It stated clearly that Lady Tregenna had given birth to a boy, who had died after an hour of life. I could only J wait for the mystery to unravel itself. I resolved to accept the invitation extended to me, and, in due course of time I arived at Cornwall. • Sir John met me at the station. A l l his taciturnity and gloom had l<rft him—he was now a talkative and cheerful man. "Tbe boy Is in splendid form, Halifax," he cried, as be wrung my hand, "and Lady Tregenna is also in fine health. You will see her for yourself in a few moments." The baronet whipped up his horses, and soon afterward we drew up in front of the fine old mansion. Lady Tregenna was standing on. the steps, a nurse a little behind her holding a baby, in her arms. "Well, Kate," called out her husband, "here is our old friend, Halifax. Bring the lad along. Now, Halifax, what do you think of him, eh?" "He is indeed a fine boy," I remarked to Lady Tregenna. "Curiously enough, I chanced to be in the same hotel at Madras with your husband when he received the cablegram announcing his birth." I surveyed the infant cirtlcally. He was a well-grqwn boy, with somewhat large features, but I could not detect the slightest likeness to either parent. The nurse, a grave, middle-aged woman, with a dark face and thin, compressed lips, took the boy in her arms and vanished with him around a corner of the house. "Look after Halifax, Kate," said Tregenna. "I must go to the stables, but will join you presently." Lady Tregenna conducted me under a thick arch of roses on to a small lawn, where she seated herself by a little tea-table, f5he motioned me to a seat near her. "It is strange," she said, "that you should have been with my husband when he received the message that he was the father of a boy." > "There is something else stranger," I said, impelled by an unaccountable impulse to force my information upon her. "I also received a cablegram In cipher from my old friend, Doctor Collett, on the same night. It gave false information with regard to the matter. Collett told me that your baby died shortly after its birth." Her cheeks flushed crimson, then turned pale. "What an odd mistake to make," she said. "That was absolutely without foundation.' But then, Doctor Collett died on the day of my baby's birth. He may not have known what he was cabling to you about." "I have not mentioned the matter to anyone^" I began, but at that instant we heard Sir John's voice In the distance, and Lady Tregenna motioned me to be silent. "Not a word to him,** she said In an eager whisper. "I would not let him know for the world. He would think it unlucky. You will promise?" "As I did not tell your husband at the time, I should have no reason for repeating the news now," I said. "His affection for the child Is quite touching." That evening Tregenna took me into his study, and we spent a short time examining the valuable photographs he had taken in India of the sun's eclipse. Just before we parted for the night he spoke again of his heir. "So you think»the boy a fine little chap, Halifax," he said. " A n d Lady 'raffannsi shr /iu^a^ed ls> fee peered to take no especial interest in him. Tregennas face grew crimson. "1 see you observe what I notice myself," he exclaimed. "The fact is, there is no accounting for women. I thought that she would have been wild about the lad, but as a matter of fact, she isn't. Not that she neglects him; far from that. She sees that he is tfell looked after, and has him brought to her once or twice daily, but she never pets him. I sometimes think I bore her by the delight which the possession of the child causes me; but there—we will say no more about it. I am keeping you up, and you must-be tired." He conducted me to my room, bade me good-night and -left me. I went to the window, and flung it wide open. Suddenly a longing to steal downstairs and go out for a ramble seized me. No sooner did the notion come to me, than I acted uppn i t The house was already shut up, but I made my way to a side door, which I unbarred, and Let myself out. I wandered down the broad central avenue. I was walking on the'grass and not making the slightest noise, when voices startled me. They seemed to be close by. I stepped into a deep shadow. The first words I heard were in Lady Tregenna's tones. "I cannot go on with this much longer, Dayrell," she cired. "I cannot possibly give you what you ask, for I have not got it. Here, if you must have it, take this ring; it is of great value. If he misses it from my finger I can but tell him another lie." I saw her hand something to a man who stood near, then she turned abruptly and walked back to the house. As soon as she had left him, the man turned to leave the grounds. I made up my mind to follow him. He reached a stile, which he mounted, and which led direct into the high road. Still keeping my distance, I did the same. Presently, in the extreme^ puiet of tbe night, he stoppee still, as if he were listening. The belated moon arose at that instant, ana the manor in the evening. Lady Tregenna was in the garden-; a very small child was toddling by her side. She came forward and greeted me cordially. "It is so good of you to come," she said. As she spoke, she made an effort to smile. I was shocked at the change in her apepaarnce. There were heavy shadows under her eyes, the eyes looked now much too big for the face, the face'was worn to emaciation. When I touched the hand she offered me, it burned as though its owner was consumed by inward fever. At this moment tbe same nurse I had seen a year ago came into view, took the child and carried him away. At Lady Tregennas request I accompanied her to one of the drawing-rooms, where we seated ourselves. "I am about to.confide in you," she said, slowly, "for I am badly in need of advice. I want you to promise that you will not divulge what I am going to tell you, until I give you permis sion." "I will respect your secret, Lady Tregenna," was my reply. "Thank you. Doctor Halifax, when you were here last, you mentioned the receipt of a cablegram from Doctor Colett, the contents- of which puzzled you exceedingly. Well, that cablegram told the truth." "The truth!" I exclaimed, scarcely able to credit what I heard. "Yes, it was true. 1^ will tell you all about it. I was married to Sir John ten years. We believed that we should never have an heir, hut two years ago I found I was about to became a mother. My husband was overjoyed, but it chanced that he had arranged for the expedition to India, in which you took part, and found it impossible to resign his post. He had to leave me, to his inexpressible anxiety. My child was born in London. I was very i l l at its birth, and for some time afterward was unconscious. When I came to my senses the nurse whom I had engaged was standing by the bedsid turning suddenly, he saw me. He halted and waited for me to come up. "By Jove," he cried, as I approached. "I know who you are. Your name is Halifax—you are a special chum of the governor's; you came to the manor to-day." j I glanced at him; his feanirerVere not unlike Sir John's, *but they were much bloated, as if with excessive drinfetng. His lips were thin and cruel, his eyes too closely set together. I made no response to his remark, but continued to look at him steadily. "If you witnessed an interview back therer he said, harshly, "you will do well to say nothing to Sir John about It. Lady Tregenna will find herself in a fine scrape If anything happens to make me cut up rough. Good-night to you." He vanished down a side path, and I slowly returned t o p h e house. I kept my own counsel regarding the meeting of Lady Tregenna and Dayrell in the grounds, nor did I see him again. I returned to New York after a week's visit, and being much occupied, had little time to think about Tregenna's private affairs. A year baiPpassed away, and I found myself in London again,, this time aa a delegate from the American Medical association to the international convention of surgeons and physicians then being held in the British metropolis. The business of the convention had just come to a close, when 1 was surprised to receive a communication from Lady Tregenna, worded as follows: "Dear Doctor Halifax: Having heard that you were attending the medical convention, I made haste to write, and implore you to come down to the manor for a few days. Sir John is in Scotland at presentment I have several firends staying in tbe house, and if you come I can promise you twill not have a lonely r. anxious to cone of vital impormerely,/ i t e T f Lat an and T h e r e 14 aomethin< cbmxiger ", I OAA< she held a beautifully dressed baby in her arms. She bent down and showed me the little fellow; then at a sign from me she laid it by my side. 1 kissed it, and was happy as mother could bo. "'Has Sir John been cabled to yet?' I asked. "She replied that Mr. Dayrell was in the house, and only waited for my authority to send a cablegram, " T e l l him to do so without an Instant's delay,' I responded. ^ "I made a quick recovery, but was astonished to see that Doctor Colett no longer attended me. Another very excellent physician—Doctor Mason— came to see me, however, and 1 did not suspect the truth. When the boy was a fortnight old, the nurse came to me one day and confessed what had really occurred. A few moments after the birth of my baby Doctor Collett had become seriously i l l , and had been obliged to hurry away, leaving the case with the nurse. When he left the house, the baby had shown signs of weakness and want of proper circulation; he thought Its life might be saved, however, and intended to return again within half an hour. As a matter of fact, ten minutes after Doctor Collett left the child died. The nurse sent a hasty message to the doctor, telling him that the baby was dead. Two bours afterward she was startled by getting a message to the effect that Doctor Collett had died suddenly. Dayrell, who had spent the entire day in the house, was pacing up and down in the drawing-room when she ran in to tell him what had' happened. "'This will kill Sir John,* he said. " 'And Lady Tregenna, for that matter,' .replied the nurse. 'They built so much on that child.* "Dayrell stood looking at her for a few moments without speaking. 'You are not welt off, nurse?* he queried at last. "She admitted that she was not; also that she had a sickly child of her own, who depended altogether on exertions to support i t "fesv^hall stay on here, at a high child's nurse,* he said. Cf- " 'The child's nurse!—yoM forget that the child Is'dead,' she returned. " 'Never mind that. Pay attention to me,' he rejoined, 'and I will give you five hundred pounds in addition for your help.' "He then proposed to her that she should conceal the fact ol" the baby's death from me for the present, but he would cable Sir John, in Doctor over a private matter, and should be glad to have you retire," I answered. "I'll do nothing oi' the kind," he returned, sullenly. "Do as you please," I responded indifferently, "After all, -what 1 have got'to say may interest you as well as this woman. Sir John Tregenna has returned, and is at present with, his supposed heir. La^y Tregenna Mason's name, that he was the father \ haB told me everything from her point of a fine boy. Meanwhile, a living child could be substituted in the dead one's place. He knew where he could procure a baby. The fact of Doctor Collett's death would make the certificate of birth wonderfully simple. He would undertake that the dead child would be disposed of without remark. This scheme was duly carried into effect, and when I was made acquainted with the true facts I knew I had been lavishing my affection on the baby of some stranger for over a fortnight. What my feelings were when this revelation was made I cannot describe. Dayrell attempted to console me. " 'Don't be a fool,' he said. 'You want an heir—your husband wants an heir. If he believes you to be the mother of his child, he will be content. You have the heir—and my silence can be bought.' "I was too weak to resist him and the nurse, and yielded to the dastardly scheme. From that hour I have known no peace of mind. Dayrell has blackmailed me to a frightful extent; I have sold nearly all my jewels to satisfy his demands. Tbe nurse and the man know the truth. They promise secrecy only so long as I can supply their demands., 1 have paid Dayrell thousands of pounds since the birth of the child. As for Sir John, he suspects nothing. He is wrapped up in the boy, and of late it is with difficulty that I can get him to return to his old interests in scientific pursuits: 1 never saw anything like his passion for the baby. On the day my husband went to Scotland, that wretch came to me and demanded two thousand pounds. I have not the money—what am I to do?" "You must not on any account yield to fresh attempts at blackmail," I said. "I confess that I cannot see at present how to save you without telling Sir John the truth, but I should like to think over matters. On the face of it, I cannot see why Dayrell Tregenna should wish to supply Sir John with au heir, when the property would come to him, failing issue, after your husband's death." "I can explain, that," said Lady Tregenna. "lie and my husband are very much the same age, but my husband's is in reality a netter life than his. Dayrell is penniless, or nearly so; he has married beneath him and has a large family. At intervals he has dreadful bouts of drinking, an/1 it is altogether likely that in thu n.uu.nl course of things Sir John would outlive him. Therefore, he concocted the scheme for the sole purpose of raising ready cash." "You must have patience, and allow me to act for you now," 1 said. "It has been my good fortune to g"t people out of difficulties nearly as bad as yours. I am glad you have had the COM rage to tell me tho truth. 1 will think things over and have another talk with you tomorrow." That night, to my astonishment and disgust, Dayrell Tregenna was one of the guests at dinner. The whole party went early to bed; I spent an anxious and wakeful night. The next morning when I went downstairs I was surprised to meet none other than Sir John himself in the hall. He shook hands with me cordially. "Hallfax, of all people!" he cried. "Yes, I have returned unexpectedly; the wife does not yet know that I am in the house, but I have just sent a message to the nurse to bring the boy down/ At that moment the nurse appeared with the child. He caught sight of his supposed father and rushed forward to meet him, crowing joyously. Sir John clasped him in his arms, and turned to me with his face shining with triumph. It was Just then that I noticed something which 1 had failed to observe when I had seen the baby a year ago. The child now bore an unmistakable and very striking likeness to his father—his eyes, smile and the sturdy way he held his shoulders, were an exact replica of Sir John. The instant I made this discovery there flashed through my mfnd a possible solution of the mystery. Sir John was so taken up with the baby that he paid no auction to my movements. 1 went to the nurse. "I am anxious to have a word with you in private," I said. "Very well," she responded, with a slightly startled look. She walked down the corridor and opened a side door which led into a shrubbery, and I followed. "I want to ask you a straight question," I said. "I had an interview with your mistress yesterday, in which she told m e the history of the child, which she believes to be true. What Is your name?" "Mrs. Hodgkins," was the reply. "Well, Mrs. Hodgkins, the whole story is very strange, lender ordinary to bring a detective down from Lon» don to probe the matter. For instance, before believing the version which jrou and Mr. Dayrell Tregenna palmed off on Lady Tregenna, there are some questions to be answered. Where was burled the real baby to whom she gave birth? Where did you find the child who was substituted?" "Now, what Is rill this about?*1 said another voice. I turned and saw Dayrell standing before me. He looked more bloated and disreputable than eyer. "I am talking w l A Mrs. Hodgkins of view. It is my conviction that she has been deceived. And—" "I shall tell you all you want te know, sir," interupted the nurse. At these unexpected words Dayrell turned pale. He looked at the woman viciously, and made a step for* ward, as though to strike her. "Stand back, you plotting hound" I said to him savagely, and stepped between him and the nurse. His hand dropped, and he moved a pace from me. "I am a widow with one child " said Mrs. Hodgkins. "When I came to nurse tbe lady I happened to meet Mr. Dayrell before the birth of the child. He spoke- to me and expressed his disgust at the possibility of an heir being born. When the child arrived there were grave doubts at first as to whether be would survive. Dr. Collett had to leave the house shortly after his birth, owing to an attack of illness, which later carried him off. After his departure Mr. Dayrell came to me and asked me how the baby was. I told him be was in a bad way, but there was a chance for him to pull through, and hurried back to attend to bim. A n hour after the child was breathing freely, and all danger was over. I was engaged in attending to him, when that villain came to the bedroom door and called me outside. He offered to pay me £500 if 1 would act on his suggestion, and send a message to Dr. Collett that the child had died. I believe that his first intention was to send the living child away and substitute a dead child in its place, which he was confident he could procure. I needed the money badly, and consented to his horrible suggestion. I sent a message to the doctor to say that the baby had died. Almost immediately afterward a message came to say that Dr. Collett had died suddenly, and that another physician would be sent to attend on Lady Tregenna. On hearing this news Mr. Dayrell completed his plot. He saw there was now no necessity to fetch another baby. Dr. Collett's death had simplified matters. When Lady Tregenna was sufficiently strong, she was to be told that the real baby had died apd that another had been substituted in its place. " 'As I can no longer inherit the property,' said Mr. Dayrell, 'the only thing left to me to do is to make money. I will make thousands out of that unlucky child. Her ladyship will believe that ho is not her own, and 1 Khali blackmail her to any extent.' "And so he did. He paid me, of course, but no money was worth the misery I endured. I saw my poor mistress fading before my eyes; she could not love the child that she belie- ved was not her own. At last I began to fear for her roason. Oh, what is to be done?" The woman .sobbed, and T turned to speak to Dayrell, but he had disappeared. "Lady Tregenna must, of course, know the truth," I said; "but the question Is whether Sir John is to be informed or not I think it would be cruel to tell him. Your confession will give immense relief to your mistress— and I believe Dayrell will consent to Joave the country for his own sake. Come with me to Lady Tregenna. " We went straight to her ladyship's room. 1 tapped at the door and was admitted at once, the nurse follow* ing. "I have come to tell you, Lad* Tregenna," I said, "that you have been the victim of a terrible hoax The child is really your own. Nurse, tell your story." The woman did so, and Lady T r e genna listened with alternate shades of hope and fear coming and goina over her pale face. When Mrs. Hodgkins had finished her tale, the mothei laughed hysterically. "Thank God," she cried, "I can love the child now; be is really my own, my baby." We finally agreed that i t was unnecessary for Sir John ever to know the real facts of the case. Dayrell left the country forever. A s to the nurse, she received a month's wages in lieu of notice, but the remorse ot her own conscience was the only otb*r punishment accorded to her.

'* CHAPTER III. (Continued). The next day Yancy had occasion1 to visit Balaam's Cross Roads. Crenshaw gave him a disquieting opinion as to the probable contents of his letter, Cor he himself had heard from Bladen that he had decided to asasume^ the care of the boy. "I reckon Bladen will have the law «m Jala side, Bob!" "Whe law be damned—I got what's fair <oa mine. I don't wish fo' better than, that," exclaimed Yancy, over his shoulder. He strode from the store -end started down the sandy road at a inrisk run. Miserable forebodings of An Impending tragedy leaped up withi n him, and the miles were many that lay between him and the Hill. Aa he breasted the slope he came within sight of a little group in his own dooryard. Saving only Uncle Sammy Bellamy, the group resolved Itself into the women and children or the Hill, but there was one small r&gure he missed. The patriarch hurried* toward him, leaning on hls^ane. ""Tfeeyfye top,k;,your jnewy, Bob!" he cried, in a high, thin voice. •Whole took aim?" asked Yancy hoarsely. "Hit wepe ©ave Blount. Get yoor emu. Bob, and go after him—kill the miserable sneaking cuss!" died Uncle Sammy. "By the FayetteviUe Hoed, Bob, (not ten minutes ago—you can cutJttlm off at Ox Road forksf" Yancy breathed a sigh of relief. A rifle was placed in Yancy a hands. "Thank you^alt kindly." said Yancy.. and turning away he struck onT through the pta© woods. A brisk walk ton," commanded Uncle Sammy. At squire.

As the 1 buggycame nearer he recogntaed his . ancient enemy In the person of the man wfco sat at Hannibal's side, and stepping into the road seised the horses by their bits. At sight of hint Ifisranjbal shrinked his name In do* flight: ^J&ole Bob—Uncle Bob—" he cried. "Yes, it's Uncle Bob. You can light down, Nevvy." "Leggo them horses!" said Mr. filonnt. "Light down, Newy," said Yancy, stfll pleasantly. Hannibal instantly availed himself of the invitation. At the same, motftent Blount struck at Taney with his whip, and his horses reared wildly, thinking the blow meant for them. ^Seeing that the boy had reached the ground in safety, Yancy relaxed his hold on the team, which instantly plunged forward. Then as the buggy swept past hrra he made a grab at Blount and dragged him out over the 'wheels Into the road. Where he proceeded to fetch Mr. Blount a smack in the jaw. Then with a final skilful kick 'he sent Mr. Blount sprawling. '"Don't let me catch you around these diggings again, Dave Blount, or 1 swear to God I'll be the death of you!" Hannibal rode home through the the name both Yancy and Balaam manifested Interest. They saw a man In the early twenties, clean-limbed and broad-shouldered, with a handsome face and shapely head. "Yes, sir, hit's a grandson of Tom earrington that used to own the grist-mill down at the Forks." "Where you located at, Mr. Car* rington?" asked Yancy. But Carrington was not given a chance to ^Jgfx Uncle Sammy saved him the trouble? "Back in Kentucky. He takes rafts down the river to New Orleans, then he comes back on ships to Baltimore, or else he hoofs it no'th overland. He wants to visit the Forks," he added. "I'm shortl^goln* that way myself, Mr. Car rington, xand I'll be pleased of your company—but first I got to get through with Bofr Yancy," said Balaam, and again he produced the war* rant. "If agreeable to you, Bob, I'll ask Uncle' Sammy to read this here warrant." "Wise's J>een a-warranttn' Bob Yancy?" cried Uncle Sammy. "Dave Blount has." "I knowed hit—I knowed he's try to get ev*»!

Uncle Sammy?" for the patriarch was showing signs of esnbarrassment "If - you gfWUsttMBi will let rte—" said Carrlngton pssaesustly. After. s> moment's scnU4ny of the paper that Balaam had thrust ia* bis band, Caerington began: "To the Sheriff of the €toonty of Cunv berland: Greetings* just the same and I'd have had.my navvy out of that buggy!" "Didn't he say nothing about this here order from the co't, Bob?" "There wa'n't much conversation, squire. I invited my nevvy to light down, and then I snaked Dave Blount out over the wheel." "Who struck the first blowr "He did. He struck at me with his buggy whip." Squire Balaam removed his spectacles and leaned back in his chair. "It's the opinion of this here co't that the whole question ot assault rests on whether Bob Yancy saw the order. Bob Yancy swears he didn't see It, while Dave Blount swears he showed It to him. If Bob Yancy didn't know of the existence of the order he was clearly actin' on the idea that Blount was stealln' his nevvy, and he done what any one would have done under the circumstances. If, on the other hand, he knowed of this order from tbe co't, he was not only guilty of assault, but he was guMty of resistin' an officer ef the co't." The squire paused impressively. His audience drew a long breath. "Can a body drata a word here?" Itxwas Unde Sammy's thin voice that cor into the silence. "Certainly,. Uncle Sammy.

Some hours later the male population of Scratch Hill, with a gravity befitting the occasion, prepared itself to descend on the Cross Roads and give its support to Mr. Yancy in his hour of need.

Betty Malroy had ridden into the squire's yard during the progress of the trial and when Yancy and Han* nibal came from the house she beck* oned the Scratch* Hiller to her. "You are not going to lose-your nephew, are you, Mr. Yancy?" she asked eagerly, when Yancy stood at her side. "No, ma'am." But his sense of elation was plainly tempered. "I am very glad. I rode out to the Hill to say good-by to Hannibal and to yon, but they said you were here and that the trial was today." Captain Murreli, with Crenshaw and the squire,*came from the house, and Murrell's swarthy face lit up at sight of the girl. Yancy would have yield ed his place, but Betty detained him. "Are yon going'away, ma'am?" 'he asked with concern. "Yes—to my home In west Tesnes see." aad a cloud crossed her smooth brow. "But ain't yen ever coming back. Miss Betty?" asked Hannibal rather fearfully. "Oh, I hope so, dear." She turned to Yancy.. "I wearier you don't leave the Hill, Mr. Yatacy. You could so easily go where Mr. Bladen would never find you; Barest you thought of this?" 'That are a p'lnt," agreed Yancy slowly. "Might I asks you what parts you'd specially recommend?" lifting his grave eyes to borsi "It would really be the sensible thing to do!" said Betty.

Here Scratch Hill was gratified with a view of Mr. Blount's battered rlsags. . • •'What's an this here fuss between you and Bob.Yancy?" demanded the squire when he had administered the oath to Blount. Mr. Blount's statement was brief and very much to the point. "He done give me the order from the judge of the co't—I was to show it to Bob Yancy—" "Got that order?" demanded the square sharply. With a smile, damaged, but clearly a smile, Blount pro* duced the order. "Hmm—app'lnted guardeen of the boy-~" the squire was presently heard to murmur, The crowded room was very still now, and more than one pair of eyes were turned pityingly in Yancy's direction.

Oddities of Justice. That tbe whole theory of penal codes is practically unsound and opposed to the modern conceptions of the relation of the state to crime, is the contention of Eugene Smith of the New York bar, writing in the May number of Case and Comment, the lawyers1 magazine. Illustrating the absurdity and disparity between penalty for crimes in different states, Mr. Smith says: "The average sentence for perjury in Florida is ten years, in Maine one year; for larceny, in Delaware ten years, in the District of Columbia ten months; the penalty for arson in Pennsylvania is twice that of burglary, but in Connecticut the guilt of burglary is twice that of arson; the guilt of counterfeiting in Ohio is twice that of perjury, but in Rhode Island the guilt of'jj^tarir is twice that of counterfelt^f^.^ I n ., - ¾ ¾ ¾ * heTe f p g nek a vc] o w t h of C o r n iod when the out with most nutrirn ripens the hs, and finally $n&,v .

There have been various systems or methods of classification by pomol- Qgists for centuries past. Some of them have been very curiously, not to say absurdly, founded on certain real or imaginary characteristics, while others were quite reasonable anof prac tical. TfceHaest of them all, according Ate'my* judgment, is the. system devised and published by Dr. John A. Warder, of Ohio, in 4iis American Pomology. The first divisions in his classification are based upon the shape of the vertical sections and are four in number: Class I, Oblate or Flat; Class II, Conical; Class III, Round or Globular; Class IV, Oblong. Next comes the shape of the cross or transverse sections, called Orders, of Nvhich there are two, Regular and Irregular. The The "Analysis of an Apple." < ' • . third stage in the system is regarding the flavor, which are termed Sections, of which there are two. Section 1 includes the varieties that are sweet and Section 2 t*. se that are subacid or sour. The last set of this descriptive classification is made up of three Subsections. The first of these includes all varieties that are yellow or green and may be blushed and even quite covered witl*f retf in, some rare cases, bu£ never sinned. f By this system almost any apple may be properly classified, and if listed and described in detail might be identified by any careful student of pomology. While there was never but one edition Dr. Warder's book on apples, American Pomology, and that was issued i n 1867, and many valuable varieties have been introduced since that date, it is even now the best of all our books on apples, by which they may be studied and Identified. While there are great ranges of variation within the individual limits of any variety, there are certain characteristics that are quite constant and dependable, and upon these any intelligent classification must be based. Mere alphabetical or other ordinary arrangement is of much less value. To describe an apple i n such manner as will lead to an understanding of its individual peculiarities I have made a drawing of a specimen of the Delicious that was grown in California The most important parts are named and pointed out in such a way that they may be studied. To begin with, the form, which is one of the first points fhat anyone will notice, may be fiat, conical, round or oblong, as looked at from the side, and round, elliptical, irregular or even angular when observ-, ing from either end. The size may he large, medium o r small. The depression In which the stem is set is called the cavity, and i t may be regular, irregular, or lipped; large or small; deeih medium or shallow; ''with a While the late Russell Sage was i n the flesh he was one of the most prudent, shrewd and persistent moneygrubbers in Gotham, The astute financier never plunged nor risked anymoney in wild-cat schemes. He was a "sure-shot" operator in Wall street, steep, abrupt or wide slope; it. may 1 a n a when he died he left in the hands T h e r e a r e G r e a t R&fsTrfafi o f V a r i a t i o n W i t t r t a I n d i v i d u a l L i m i t s o f A n y V a r i e t y , T h e r e a r e C e r t a i n C h a r a c t e r i s t i c s C o n s t a n t a n d D e p e n d a b l e f o f ^ C I & s s { * i < ^ t £ ^ / ~ r : have russet* markings that are ffirge," medium or faint, or none at all. The stem may be long, medium or short; slender, stout' or fleshy. Sometimes a variety will have stems of all these, descriptions, but they are generally of one type. The depression at the calyx or blossom end of an apple is called the basin. It may b^ regular^ irregular, waved, furrowed or knobby; deep, medium, shallow or wanting; wide or narrow; marked with russet either cracked or smooth. The calyx may be open or closed; with the sepals long or short, upright or refiexed. The surface is smooth, rough, bloomed or russeted. The color, yellow, green, blushed, red striped and with all possible variations of intensity and lightness of shadings, mottling, splashings and suffusions. The dots are very characteristic and quite constant. They are numerous or scattering; large or small; dark or light; round or pointed; with light, dark, green and sometimes on raised bases. The skin may be thick and tough or thin and tender. The flesh ia yellow, white or stained with red and very rarely pink throughout; and its texture may be fine or coarse; "firm, tender or soft; and in weight light or heavy. The core may be large, medium or small; conical, round or oblate; open o r closed; meeting or separate from the tube. The calyx tube large or small; long or short. Axial diameter long or short. Seeds numerous or few; large or small; plump or narrow; light or dark brown. Flavor sweet, subacid or soar; rich aromatic or spicy. Quality good, very good, best or poor. Season very early, early, mid-summer, fall, early winter, mid*winter and late winter. Thus it is that a pomologist would describe an apple. Blanks for descriptions .are prepared for the government records-aid also by some of the states. I have them for my own private use i n keeping records of the varieties I have examined. Paintings, models and .historical notes of all interesting fruits are also made and carefully preserved in the office of the U . Porno log ist at Washington, which is vork that I planned and Instituted when I was i n charge of that office over 20 years ago. These records are of inestimable value and will be more more so as time advances. B I G J F ^ T U N E , J V E L L H A N D L E D Millions Left by t i n Late Russell Sage Are Being Expended for the Welfare of JJumafiity. of his lone widow a fortune of something like $75,000,000. Since "becoming possessed of this enormous fortune she has worked as persistently and assiduouosjy in scattering the money as her husband did in gathering it. The scriptures tell us that the miser is the man that "heaps up riches- and cannot: tell who shall gather them." Russell Sage knew better, and the good lady upon whose shoulders was imposed the burden of this enormous sum of'money has worked hard In lightening the burden. Her philanthropies have been productive of as much wisdom as marked her husband's operations in the market. She is reported to be failing in health, and her task is only begun. Should she be taken from the world thousands will regret her departure, and it is very earnestly to be hoped that further care of the property will fall into good hands.

H O O D W I N K E D B U L L IS S A F E Leather Device Can Be Put Over Eyes ef Ugly Animal, Giving Good Ventilation and Light. The following description of a hood for a bull that has become breachy Is written by a contributor to Hoard's Dairyman: I got a flank of leather for about $1.25, took a good five-ring halter that fit (you can vary the size), cut the front, 13 Inches at top by 8 inches at bottom and 12 inches long; two side pieces 8 inches wide at top bv 6 Bull hoodwinked. Inches bottom, 12 inches long; cut front of aide pieces square, back on a miter. Put inside of leather together, black side down of front and up of side, rivet about three-fourths of an inch from edge with copper belt rivets and burs long enough to rivet well, and 1¼ inches apart center to center (as he will try it severely). The hood will stand open like a box at corners over his eyes, giving good ventilation and some li^ht. Rivet back of side pieces to side strap of halter between the rin|s, make a loop around back of upper ring and rivet; rivet a strap to lower corner of side piece; rivet bottom of front to nose Jrtece of halter. The drawing shows how it is used. Those who have tried it recommend it. K I C K I N G C O W IS E L I M I N A T E D Rods Arranged in Manner Shown Illustration That Will Do Away With Vicious Animal. in Draw the rods out, lead the cow i n from behind, place the rods i n position again, tie the cow to manger post and go to milking. The cow can't kick, says a writer i n the Farm Stops Kicking Cow. and Fireside. I am using one of these devices and rind it a pleasure to milk now, when I was always i n fear before. The Kerry Cow. The Kerry cow is a light framed cow of varying size, but generally smaller than the-*Ayrshire. She is black in hair. The Dexter, although derived from the same stock, is quite different, being tttick and blocky, and in color may be either black or red. Both of these cattle are particularly goed dairy cows, doing well in moderate feeding and giving surprisingly large quantities of milk, very rich. Many Kerries give quite as rich milk as is produced by. the Jersey. The Kerry does not fatten kindly until she has reached full age, but the Dexter may be fattened younger. Does Silage Affect the Flavor? Have you noticed anything different in the flavor of the milk since you began feeding silage? If there is any change at all the flavor will be a little more pleasant, says O. E . Reed, head of the dairy department at the Kansas State Agricultural college. But if the silage is allowed to ferment too long and then fed, the milk will have a taint much like that noticed when weeds are eaten i n the summer. • Ground Grain \W Best. If a farmer who is really trying to learn how to conduet his business most economically will make a common- sense test during a season of, say, six months, feeding a portion of his cows ground grain, and the same number whole grain, noting the difference in milk flow, he will then come pretty near knowing the truth. few. Profits Prom a Creamery. The total profits from a creamery will depend largely upon the amount of eream that can be bought. If the factory can be run at Its capacity, it will be much more profitable than i f only half the amount of cream desired Is secured.

Theodore Roosevelt's arrival in Chicago to take personal charge of his fight for the presidential nomination was fully as spectacular as even he could wish. He was met at the railroad station by a great crowd of admirers. He made his way to his automobile through a lane which the police battered out with their clubs and fists, drove a half mile through lines of frenzied people who greeted him with frantic cheers until he reached the Congress hotel.

Something of the piercing quality of the famous "rebel yell' characterized the snapping cheers which interrupted Roosevelt's speech from the hotel balcony shortly after his arrival. The feeling that matters had come to some kind of a crisis permeated both factions. Gov. Tasker L .

"I knowed that there mule/' said Kirkby, "I'd sold It to a feller named Newbold, that had come out yere an' married Louise Rosser, old man Roster's daughter, an' him dead, an' beln' an' orphan an' this feller beln' a fine young man from tbe east>not a bit of ia tenderfoot nuther, a minin' engineer he called hlsself." i "Well, I happened to be there, too, jyou remember," continued Maitland, !**and they made up a party to go and tiunt up the man, thinking something might have happened." "You see," explained Kirkby, "we firas all mighty fond of Louise Rosser. Ke hull camp was actln' like a father her at the time, so long *s she. badn't nobody else; we was all at the fweddin*, too, some six months afore. fThe gal married him on her own book, of course nobody makln' her, [but somehow she didn't seem none itoo happy, although Newbold, Who fwas a perfect gent, treated her white as far as we knowed." The old man stopped again and returned his pipe. "Kirkby, you tell the story," said Maitland. i "Not me," said Kirkby. "I have seen men shot afore for takin' words out 'n other men's mouths an' I ain't iiever done that yit." ~~"You always were one, of, .the most Bilent men I ever saw," laughed George. "Why, that day Pete yere got jahot accidental an' had his whole jbreast tore out w'en we was lumber- Hug over on Black mountain, ail. you ©aid was, 'Wash him off, put some axle grease on him an' tie him up.'-" 'That's so," answered Pete, "an' there must have been somethin' powerful soothin' in that axle grease, for (here I am safe an' sound to this day." "It takes an old man," assented [Kirkby, "to know when to keep his mouth shet. I learned it at the muzzle of a gun." "I never knew before," laughed Maitland, "how still a man you can Ibe. Well, to resume the story, having .nothing to dp I went out with the posse the sheriff gathered up—" "Him not thinkin' there had been any foul play," ejaculated the old man. "No, certainly not." "Well, what happened, Uncle Bob?" Inquired Enid. "Just you wait," said young Bob, who had heard the story. "This is an awful good story, Cousin Enid." "I can't wait much longer,0 returned <the girl. "Please go on." "Two days after we left the camp, we came across an awful figure, ragged, blood stained, wasted to a skeleton, starved—" "I have seed men in extreme cases afore," interposed Kirkby, "but never none like him." "Nor I," continued Maitland. "Was it Newbold?" asked Enid. "Yes." "And what had happened to him?" "He and his wife had been prospecti n g in these very mountains; she had fallen over a cliff and broken herself «o terribly that Newbold had to shoot her." ^ • "What!" exclaimed Bradshaw. "You don't mean that he actually Killed h e r r "That's what be done," answered Old Kirkby. ^ "Poor mar** murmured Enid, j "But why?" as«ed Philips. "They were five days away from a settlement, there wasn't a human being within a hundred and fifty miles of them, not even an Indian/1 continued Maitland. "She was so frightfully broken and mangled that he couldn't carry her away." "But why; couldn't be leave her and go for heltffcvasked Bradshaw. "The wolves, tbe bears, or the vultures woufcr S $ v & g o t her. These woods and n ^ n & i n s , were full of them then and there W$ some of them left now I guess.* \ ^ The two little girls crept closer to their big cousin, eacn casting anxious glances beyond the fire light "Oh, you're all rlghtpHttle_gals," said Kirkby readsuHSglyV "they wouldn't come nigh us while this fire Js burain' an' they 've been pretty jwell bunted out I guess; 'sides there's men, yere who'd like notbin' bejter'n drWirt' a bead/on a b|g out of her misery, ' bask ts> to tell his story and stumbled on us looking after him." "What happened then?" "I went back to the camp," said Maitland. "We loaded Newbold on a mule and took him with us; he was so crazy he didn't know what was happening; he went over the shooting again and again in his delirium. It was awful." "Did he die?" "I don't think so," was the answer, "but really I know nothing further about him. There were some good women in that camp; we put him In their hands and 1 left shortly afterwards." "J kin tell the rest," said'old Kirkby. "Knowin' more about the mountains than most people hereabouts I led the men that didn't go back with Bob an' Newbold to the place w'ere he said his woman fell, an' there we found her, her body leastways." "But the wolves?" queried the girl. "He'd drug her into a kind of a holler and piled rocks over her. He'd gone down into the canon, w'lch was something frightful, an' then climbed up to w'ere she'd lodged. W e r had plenty of rope, havin' brought it along a purpose, an' we let ourselves down to the shelf where she was a lyin'. We wrapped her body up In blankets an' roped it an' flnally_ drug her up on the old Injun trail, leastways I suppose it was made afore there was any Injuns, an' brought her back to Evergreen camp, w'lch the only thing about it that was green was the swing doors on the saloon. We got a parson out from Denver %n' give her a Christian burial." "Is that all?" asked Enid as the old man paused again." "Nope." "Oh. the man?'* exclaimed the wornan with quick Intuition. "He recovered his senses so they told us, an' we'en we got back he'd gone." "Where?" was the instant question. Old Kirkby stretched out his hands. "Don't ax me," he said, "he'd jest gone. I ain't never seed or heerd of him sence. Poor little Louise Rosser, she did have*a hard time." "Yes," said Enid, "but.I think the man had a harder time than she. He loved her?" "It looked like it," answered Kirkby. "If you had seen him, his remorse, his anguish, his horror," said Maitland, "you wouldn't have had any doubt about it. But it is getting late. In the mountains everybody gets up at daybreak. Your Bleeping bags are In the tentl, ladies; time to go to bed." As the party broke up, old Kirkby rose slowly to his feet; he looked meaningly toward the young woman, upon whom the spell of the tragedy still lingered, he nodded toward the young brook, and then repeated his speaking glance at her. His meaning was patent, although no one else had seen tne covert invitation. "Come Kirkby," said the girl in quick response, "you shall be /my escort. I want a drink before I turn in. No, never mind," she said, as Bradshaw and Philips both volunteered, "not this time." The old frontiersman and the young girl strolled off together. They stopped by the brink of the rushing torrent a few yards away. The noise that it made drowned the low tones of their voices and kept the others, busy preparing to retire, from hearing what they\said. "That ain't quite all the story, Miss Enid A said the old trapper meaningly. "There, was another man." "What!" exclaimed the girl. "Oh, there wasn't nothin' wrong with Louise Rosser, w'lch she was Louise Newbold. but there was another man; I suspected it afore, that's why she was sad. W'en we found her body I knowed it." "I dcn't understand." "These'll explain," said Kirkby. He drew out from his rough hunting coat a package of soiled letters; they were carefully enclosed in an oil skin and tied with a faded ribbon. "You see," he continued, holding them in his band yet * carefully concealing them from the people at the tire. "W'en she fell oh? .Jfie, cliff—somehow the mule lost his footin', nobody never knowed how, leastways the mule was dead an' couldn't tell—she struck on a stfur or shelf about a hundred feet below the brink; evidently she' was carrvin' the letters In her dress. Her bosotn was frightfully tore open an' the letters was lyin' there. Newbold didn't see^em, because he went down into the canon an' came up to the shelf, or butte head, w'ere the body was lyin', but we dropped down. 1 was the first man down an' 1 got 'em.

"What do you mean?" asked the girl curiously, thrilling to the solemnity of the moment, the seriousness, the kind affection of the old frontiersman, the weird scene, the fire light, the tents gleaming ghostlike, the black wail of the canon and the tops of the moun- ^ tain range broadening out beneath the stars in the clear sky where they twinkled above her head, the strange and terrible story, and now the letters in her hand, which somehow seemed to be Imbued with human feeling. Kirkby patted her on the shoulder. "Read the letters," he said; "they'll tell the story. Good night." hull story/' C H A P T E R IV, The Poo! and the Water Sprite. Long after the others in the camp had sunk into the profound slumber of weary bodies and good consciences, a solitary candle in the small tent occupied by Enid Maitland alone gave evidence that she was busy over-the letters which Kirkby had handed to her. It was- a very thoughtful girl indeed who confronted the old frontiersman the next morning. At the first convenient opportunity when they were alone together she handed him the packet of letters. "Have you read 'em?" he asked. "Yes." "Wall, you keep 'em," said the old man gravely. "Mebbe you'll want to read 'em agin." "But I don't understand why you want me to have them." "Wall, I'm not quite sure myself why, but leastways I do an'—" "I shall be very glad to keep them," said the girl still more gravely, slipping them Into one of the pockets of her hunting shirt as she spoke. The packet was not bulky, the letters w<§-e not many nor were they of any great length. She could easily carry them on her person and in some strange and unexpMcable way she was rather glad to have them. She could not, as she had said, see any personal application to herself in them, and yet in some -way she did feel that the solution of the mystery would be hers some day. Especially did she think this on account of the strange but quiet open emphasis of the old hunter. There was much to do about the camp in the morning. Horses and burros to be looked after, fire wood to be cut, plans for the day arranged, excursions laid out, mountain climbs projected. Later on unwonted hands must be taught to cast the fly for the mountain trout which filled the brook and pool, and all the varied duties, details and fascinating possibilities of camp life must be explained to the newcomers. The first few days were days of learning and preparation, days of mishap and misadventure, of joyous laughter over blunders in getting setand line, or becoming hardened and acclimated. The weather proved perfect; it was late October and the nights were very cold, but there was no rain and the bright sunny days were invigorating and exhilarating to the last degree. They had huge fires and plenty of blankets and the colder it was In the night the better they slept. It was an intensely new experience for the girl from Philadelphia, but she showed a marked Interest and adaptability, and entered with the keenest zest into all the opportunities of the charming days. She was a good sportswoman and she soon learned to throw a fly with the best of them. Old Kirkby took her under his especial protection and as he was one of the best rods in the mountains, she had every advantage. She had always, lived in the midst of life. Except in the privacy of her own chamber she had rarely ever been alone before—not twenty feet from a man, she thought whimsically, but here the charm of solitude attracted her, she liked to take her rod and wander off alone. She actually enjoyed it. The main stream that flowed down the canon was fed* by many affluents from the mountain sides, and In each of them voracious trout appeared. She explored them as she had opportunity, sometimes with the others, but more often by herself. She discovered charming and exquisite nooks, little stretches of grass, the size perhaps of a small room, flower decked, ferny bordered, overshadowed by tall giant pine trees, the sunlight filtering through their thin foliage, checkering the verdant carpet beneath. Huge moss covered boulders, wet with the everdashing spray of the roaring brooks, lay in midstream and with other natural stepping stones hardby Invited her to cross to either shore. Waterfalls laughed musically in her ears, deep still pools tempted her skill and address. Sometimes leaving rod and basket by the waterside, she climbed some particularly steep acclivity of the canon wall and stood poised, wind blown, a nymph of the woods, upon some pinnacle of rock rising needlelike at the canon's edge above the sea of verdure which the wind waved to and fro beneath her feet. There in the bright light, with the breeze blowing her golden hair, she looked like some Norse goddess, blue eyed, exhilirated, triumphant. She was a perfectly formed woman on the ancient noble lines of Mlio rather than the degenerate softness of Medici. She grew stronger of limb and fuller of breath, quicker and steadier of eye and hand, cooler of nerve, in these demanding, compelling adventures among the rocks in this mountain air. She was not a tall woman, indeed slightly under rather than over the medium size, but she was so perfectly proportioned, she carried herself with the fearlessness of a young chamois, that she looked taller $ \ "**ad Utters?' He 8alcL 50 than she was. There was not an ounce of superfluous flesh upon her, yet she had the grace ot Hebe, the strength of Pallas Athene, and the swiftness of motion of Atalanta. Had she but carried bow and spear, had she worn tunic and sandals; she might have stood for Diana and she would have had no cause to blush by comparison witf the finest model of Praxiteles' chisel or the most splendid and glowing example of Appelles' brush. Uncle Robert was delighted with her; his contribution to her western outfit was a small Winchester. She displayed astonishing aptitude under his instructions and soon became wonderfully proficient with that deadly weapon and with a revolver also. There was little danger to bo apprehended in the daytime among the mountains, the more experienced men thought, still it was wise for the girl always to have a weapon In readiness, so in her journeyings, either the Winchester was slung from her shoulder or carried in her hand, or else the Colt dangled a i her hip. At first she took both, but finally It was with reluctance that she could be persuaded to take either. Nothing had ever happened. Save for a few birds now and then she had seemed tbe only tenant of the wilderness of her choice. One night after a camping experience of nearly two weeks In the mountains and just before the time for breaking up and going back to civilization, she announced that early the next morning she was going down the canon for a day's fishing excursion. None of the party had ever followed the little river very far, but it was known that some ten miles below the stTeam merged in a lovely gemlike lake in a sort of crater in the mountains. From thence by a series of water falls It descended through the foothills to the distant plains beyond. The others bad arranged to climb one especially dangerous and ambition provoking peak which towered above them and which had nevei before been surmounted so far as they knew. Enid enjoyed mountain climbing. She liked the uplift in feeling that came from going higher and higher till some crest was gained, but on this occasion they urged her to accompany them In vain. When the fixity of her decision was established she had a number of offers to accompany her, but declined them all, bidding the others go their way- Mrs. Maitland, who was not feeling very well, old Kirkby, who had climbed too many mountains to feel much interest in that game, and Pete the horse wrangler, who had to look after the stock, remained in camp; the others with the exception of Enid started at daybreak for their long ascent. She waited until tbe sun was about an hour high and then bade good-bye to the three and began the descent of the canon. Traveling light, for she was going far—farther, indeed, than she knew—she left her Winchester at home, but carried the revolver with the fishing tackle and substantial luncheon. Now the river—a river by courtesy only—and the canon turned sharply back on themselves just beyond the little meadow where the camp was pitched. Past the tents that had been their home for this Joyous period the river ran due east for a few hundred feet, after which it curved sharply, doubled back and flowed westward for several miles before it gradually swung around to the east on its proper course again. It had been Enid's purpose to cut across the hills and strike the river where it turned eastward once more, avoiding the long detour back. In fact, she had declared her intention of doing that to Kirkby and be had given her careful directions so that she should not get lost in the mountains. But she had plenty of time and no excuse or reason for saving it, she never tired of the charm of the canon; therefore, instead of plunging directly over the spur of the range, she followed the familiar trail and after she had passed westwardVffar beyond the limits of the camp fcjjgthe turning, she decided, in accordance with that utterly irresponsible thing, a woman's will, that she would not go down the canon tbat day after all, but ttfat she would cross back over the range and strike the river a few miles above the camp and go u p the canon. She had been up in that direction a few times, but only for a short distance, as the ascent above, the camp was very sharp, in fact for a little more than a mile the brook was only a succession of water fall; tbe best4 fishing was below the camp and the finest woods were deeper in the canon. She suddenly concluded that she would like to see what was up in that unexplored section of the country and so, with scarcely a momentary hesitation* she abandoned ber, former plan and) began the ascent of the range. Upon decisions so lightly taken what momentous consequences Jde» | pond? Whether she should go up the stream or down the stream, whether she should follow the rivulet to Its source or descend it to its mouthy was apparently a matter of little mr> ment, yet her whole life turned absolutely upon that decision. The idle and unconsidered choice of the hour, was frought witb gravest possibilities. Had that election been made with any suspicion, with any foreknowledge, hajj It come as the result of careful reasoning or far-seeing of probabilities, it might have been understandable* but an Impulse, a whim, the vagrant idea of an idle hour, the careless chance of a moment, and behold! a life Is changed. On one side were youth and innocence, freedom and happiness, a happy day, a good rest by the cheerful fire at night; on the other, peril of life, struggle, love, jealousy, self sacrifice, devotion, suffer. Ing, knowledge—scarcely Eve herself when she stood apple In hand with Ignorance and pleasure around her and enlightenment and sorrow before her, had greater choice to make. How fortunate we are that the future Is veiled, that the psalmist's prayer that he might know his end and be certified how- long he had to live is one that will not and cannot be granted; that it has been given to but One to foresee his own future, The Girl 8tood as It Were on the Roof of the World. for no power apparently could enable ua to stand up against what might be, because we are only human beings not sufficiently alight with the spark divine. We wait for the end because we must, but thank God we know it not until It comes. Nothing of this appeared to the girl that bright sunny morning. Fate hid in those mountains under the guise or fancy. Lighthearted, carefree, fitted with buoyant Joy over every fact of life, she left the flowing water and scaled the cliff beyond which in the wilderness she was to find after all, the world. The ascent was longer and more difficult and dangerous than she had Imagined when she first confronted it, perhaps it was typical and foretold her progress. More than once she had to stop and carefully examine the face of the canon wall for a practicable trail; more than once she had to exercise extremes* care in her climb* but she was a bold and fearless mountaineer by this time and at last surmounting every difficulty she stood panting slightly, a little tired, but triumphant upon the summit. The ground was rocky and broken, the timber line was close above her and she judged that she must be several miles from the camp. The canon was very crooked, she could see only a few hundred yards of it in any direction. She scanned her circumscribed limited horizon eagerly for the smoke from the great fire tbat they always kept burning In the camp, hot not a sign of it was visible. She was evidently a thousand feet above the river whence she had come, fier standing ground was a rocky ridge which fell away more gently on the other side for perhaps two hundred feet toward the same brook. She could see through vistas in the treat the uptosaed peaks of the main rang** bare, chaotic, show crowned, lonely* majestic, terrible. ., The awe of the everlasting Mils l a greater than that of heaving seas.

If by the ordinary wage earner we mean the average wage earner then we are dealing with a general average wage of considerably less than $12 per week for the' fifty-two weeks in the year. The present cost of bare necessities of life prohibits the saving of any considerable amount from the meager wages of the average wage earner. Certainly he cannot save enough in his prime to maintain himself in his old age. This would be true of those without family responsibilities, while average wage earner with a family to support can save r ;1fething at all unless the standard of living of the family is reduced to Pt^neet advancing living costs., and then only a small sum which a brief sick- |!iiess will absorb. It is the families of the wage earners that populate the country. Wealthy families are not usually noted for large numbers of children. The wage earner's family must be supported before there can be any saving for the future, and when that is done there can be little or nothing left. Our large savings bank deposits as a rule belong to persons who are not in the wage-earning class. Some wage earners follow trades that are highly skilled and exceptionally well paid. It is possible for some of these to save a portion of their wages, but it should be noted that these are extraordinary wage earners, and even among these none of them may hope to escape the wage earning class by saving alone. A young man asked a prominent American statesman how to acquire riches, and the answer was: "Put yourself in a position to profit by 'the labor of other people/* The wage earner who escapes from the wage-earning class does this. His savings are used as the basis of speculation or investment, which, if successful, yields him a profit on the labor of other people. If the wage earner builds himself a home he is gratifying the home* owning instinct, but if he couples with it a tenement to rent he is developing the desire of the capitalist, to profit by the labor of other people. It is well, for the ordinary wage earner to be prudent and to save what he can, but not with the idea of escaping thereby from the wageearning class, lest his wings be pinged by the flame. The ordinary wage earner will do well to give more effort to improve the condition, of the wage-earning class through trade union work and less to an attempt to escape from the wage-earning class by an unsuccessful imitation of the methods of capital. All wage earners should seek the largest income from their own labor rather than to seek to profit by 4;he labor of their fellows.

SAFE THROUGH ICY FLOOD Indian Hero Swims to Shore With Boy Across the Columbia River at Its Highest. Real S o r r o w A l w a y s Seeks Solitude By D R . FRANK C R A N E One of the maxims that are not true is "Misery loves company." The fact is that it is happiness that loves company, while sorrow seeks solitude. We close the door to weep and draw the blinds; we go to the theater and crowded restaurants to laugh. Misfortune isolates. Pcnsiveness is unsociable. These lines are written on shipboard. We have been six days .at sea and all the passengers have become acquainted; for an ocean liner a few days out resembles a country village; everybody knows everybody and everybody's business. Convention rules the decks and gossip guat ds^^cozy corners as thoroughly as in a New England town. Only one man keeps apart. His wife is in a coffin in the hold. A month ago they went to Italy for a long lark; she died in Naples. This man speaks to no one. He keeps his room. He may be seen of nights looking over the rail into the boiling dark of the sea, alone. When an animal is wounded he flees the pack and in some cave or under some bush, solitary, he licks the bleeding paw or torn shoulder. So when the human heart breaks its cry is for solitude; it shuns light; fellowship is pain; lonesomeness becomes luxury. Joy is the centripetal, sorrow the centrifugal force of the world. Joy makes cities; disappointment makes emigration. sV#fti}-;,..'l The treasurer of a Massachusetts bank is reported to have died of infection from handling bank notes. Death was caused by complications following blood poisoning. This incident calls attention in a tragic manner to the necessity for improving the condition of the bank notes in general circulation. Some of the bills are so filthy that they are not fit to handle. The remedy for this condition is very simple. All that is necessary Is for the banks, trust companies and other financial institutions to retire the notes as they come in. These notes should be sent to Washington and there redeemed for new ones. I understand that in England a dirty bank note is never seen, as they are retired^as fast as they become soiled. All the bank notes there are crisp and clean. The same condition could prevail everywhere if the dirty bank notes were retired^ soon enough. M a n y Dangers F r o m Handlind Filthy L u c r e By C . B .

While it is true that many instances of good or bad fortune can only be ascribed to "luck"—such as the finding of a purse or the loss of an arm by accident—the term cannot be used in cases where some one has had financial circumstances or position changed by application, education, ability as well as other factors.

THESE lines of Poe were favoritej of "English Jack," known to all visitors to the White mountains as the Crawford Notch hermit, who when he died the other day, for fifty-eight years had remained true to the sacred memory of a woman. The old hermit, who waa in his ninetieth year, was well known to the tourists of the White mountains, thousands of whom have stopped at his picturesque old shanty, which he called his "ship." That "English Jack" became first a wandering soldier and then a'hermit because of a broken heart was known to most of his callers. Outside his cabin he had a series of glass-sided tanks in which he bred trout from spawn. ' If the financial inducement were sufficient he would give exhibitions of snake-swallowing for tbe benefit of summer visitors. London Hfs Birthplace. "English Jack'* was born in London. His father and mother died when he waa twelve. One pound comprised his wealth. Some sea stories he had read turned his efforts toward finding an opportunity to go to sea. At first he was unsuccessful. For days, barefooted, with his bundle of earthly goods strapped on his back, he canvassed the gruff official seamen hanging about the docks for the chance he dreamed would come. His query, "Do ybu want a boy, sir?" was always met with cruel replies, savored with sailor profanity, and many hard knocks for his trouble. One spring morning, tired, hungry and homesick, he sat down on a doorstep overlooking the docks and began to cry. A little girl five years old, with blue eyes, came up to him and offered her gracious sympathy, saying Bhe was lost, too, and was in, search of her daddy's ship. That little faoe, illuminated with the white light of an innocent and tender heart, was the weather vane of the boy's destiny. She confided to him as they further exchanged their troubles that her name was Mary, and when she began to cry she made Jack forget his hunger and privations.. Beginning of the Romance. He smoothed and petted her the best he knew, and she drove trouble many miles across the sea by surrendering her little dewy Hps to Jack— his first kiss. Soon, as they were slowly walking np the street together, an omnibus rattllfc by with two men on the top. Just as It was passing them, the little girl screamed out, "Oh, there's my daddy!" and started running alter the bu«. Jack caught up with the tatgr^and clambering to the top, foundTCaptain Simmons, the child's father. As a reward he gave Jack a berth on his ship. jUJack made several voyages and finally became an able seaman. At the *end of every voyagers always made his home with the Simmonses. $djf Simmons and Jack on one voyage sailed on a ship named the Nelson for the Indian ocean. A terrific simoom struck and wrecked it on the shores of a desert island. Jack and Simmons and eleven other members of the crew were all that were saved. A diet of snails, mussels and crabs resulted In poisoning many of them and^ they died off until only Jack and Simmons, with two others, were left. Simmons took fever and died, asking Jack to look out for his little Mary. Only 8urvivor of Crew. Jack, with his companions, one morning weeks later saw a ship riding at anchor in the lee of the island. Their signals of distress were sighted and they were taken aboard. Jack's companions died within a few days, leaving Jack as the sole survivor of the forty-two men who had sailed from London on the Nelson. Jack finally arrived in London, after having been gone for nineteen months, to find that. Simmons1 wife was dead and that little Mary had been sent to a workhouse. Jack managed to secure her release and sent her to boarding school. He was called away to sea again, and he went with the understanding that upon his return Mary should become his wife. After being gone for a little more than a year, he again landed in Liver pool and hastened to the boarding scho /here he had left Mary. "Miss Simmons died'just a month ago," said one of the teachers. Jack, with a stifled cry of anguish, fell to the floorVunconscious. He was ill for many weeks afterward, but managed to^ pull through, Broken in spirit. He enlisted in the Crimean war ^ n d also served as a volunteer during the Indian mutiny.

He always lived the life of a recluse, but at the same time he never was inhospitable-to any of the many thousands who called trpon him. Few, however, knew more than that he had lived up there alone in the woods for almost four decades. The writer, during the summer of 1909, usually at twilight, had many interesting chats with him. He often recited with appalling emotion the whole of "Annabel Lee/' The poem had been torn from a: book of Poe's poems by a mountain missionary, and English Jack treasured the pastor's gift above all others.

Yet this was Just what was done about eight years ago by a Columbia River Indian who had almost reached the age of fifty. He is still living today on the Umatilla reservation to testify to the performance, though no man ever heard him boast of it. The Indian's name is Sees-YuBe and he is now the head man of the scattered Columbtas. It was in the early years of the new century that he attempted to make the passage of the Columbia in a frail canoe, accompanied by a boy of nine years. When in midstream his little craft was struck with such force by an ice cake that It was overturned. Sees-Yuse seized his boy companion, and placing hint on his back, breasted tfce stream and commenced bis battle to dain the shore. * If men who witnessed the feat are to be believed, no white man could have accomplished what this old Indian did. Foot by foot he made his way toward the southern bank, and though swept downstream by the swift current, his progress was steady. Several times he was struck by an ice floe and the jagged end of one cut a deep wound in his neck. Finally, after what seemed i n almost interminable time, he reached the e*iore with his burden, his strength sp^r t by his heroic efforts and loss of b*ood, and almost frozen by the chill w^ter. Before the flow of his wound could be checked he had almost bled to cl^ath.

The old Indian, whose facial characteristics are so different from those of the prairie Indians, is a frequent visitor in Pendleton, Ore., and almost regularly once a week calls upon Ms friend, Major Lee Moorhouse, not, however, so much for the purpose of talking with the major as to gaze at a full-length pointing of himself which adorns the walls of the Moorhouse office. The painting was made from a photograph of Sees-Yuse, taken by the major, and the aged red man often sits by the hour, chifclike, ad- ..miring the likeness on the wall. LOSING TOUCH WITH WORLD?

For forty-six years a controversy has been carried on concerning the capture of Jefferson Davis. The prize money offered by the United States government was divided among members of the 4th Michigan, the 1st Wisconsin and the 1st Ohio regiments. The story of the capture is presented^ here as told by George M . Munger,, who was a corporal of the 4th Ajfrchl-' gan at the time of the search for- Davis. His narrative corresponds to that sworn to before the secretary of war by his colonel, B. D. Prltcnard. "Several searching parties were looking for Jeff Davis when we started out early in May, 1865," said M r . Munger. "We were passing ourselves off as a detachment of confederate soldiers, trying to catch up with the fleeing president. The night of May S we found what we were after. We had reached Irwlnville, inquiring there, as at other places, for news of the fugitives. We got no information The Mother Had a Shawl Pinned Around Her Face. except from an old colored man, who told us that there was a traveling party encamped about two miles from town. I was in the advance guard* who got this information, and we reported it to the colonel. "We made an advance to a point from which we could see the camp fire, and there we lay. Lieut. Purington and twenty-five men were sent around to the other side of the camp. All was quiet until the morning be* gan to come. Then we made a sudden charge into the camp and took them by surprise. "My position in the line brought me into the camp at the rear of DavlB* tent. With me was Private James Bullard. Some horses were tethered there, and we took two of them in place of our own, changing the Baddies to the fresh horses. Mrs. Davis, I heard afterward, had come to the door of the tent and asked the right of privacy for the women that she said were the only occupants. Soon she came to the door again and passed out with her 'old mother,1 who was dressed In a waterproof coat and a shawl, and carried a tin pail. Mrs. Davis said that the ywanted to go to the brook for water, and the guard let them pass. "They were not many rods from the tent when I saw them. 1 said to* Bullard, 'Those women ought not to be leaving the camp/ and he, still busied with his saddle, told me to go on and not wait for him. I mounted and rode up to the couple. I asked where they were going and Mrs. Davis said that she was going to the brook with her old mother to get some water. The 'old mother* had the shawl pinned around her face so that not much was visible, and the waterproof coat was long. But the dead grass was long, too, and as the 'old mother1 held up the coat 1 saw high top hoots beneath i t "'What's your old mother doing with those boots on?' I asked, and brought my gun from half to full cock as i t lay across tbe pommel pointing at the two. "Mrs. DtfVis heard the click of thehammery 'Don't *hoot! ' s h e said, and then Bullard came up and helped me show them the. way back. DaVis wanted to take off the shawl, but we did not give him time. I found the colonel and told him that I believed we had taken Jeff'Davis. The colonel came up to where the prisoner was and asked, 'What shall I call you?" 'Anything you please/ said the prisoner. 'I think 1 will cajl you Davis," said Col. Pritchard. "The 4th Michigan and the 1st Wisconsin took Davis back to our lines and I was one of the guard that went with him to Fort Monroe. Col. Pritchard and I both made sworn; statements about the capture before, the secretary of war, w e saw nothing o f the^ 1st Ohio regiment, who ear $"4 ft 'K5 'He * i f V .1 A note requesting me to dine at the house of my friend, Charles Holdsworth, lay_ on my study table. It also contained the surprising news that Harry Lldderdale had unexpectedly returned to New York, and would be present The latter was an old chum of mine who had one day^suddenly left the counfry. From the day of his departure he had not written a line to anyone; not a soul knew where he had gone, and to all intents and purposes the man might as well have been dead. There was, however, a story which in some measure accounted for Lidderdale's disappearance. In the days of his early manhood he had fallen desperately in love with a singularly beautiful girl named Alma Ramsay. The latter had loved him in return, but there were no tidings of an absolute engagement, and suddenly I heard that Alma had married a certain General Colthurst, (and that Lldderdale had left the country. Colthurst turned out a cruel husband, mean suspicious and jealous, but fortunately for his young wife, he did not .survive the union more than a few years. Now Mrs. Colthurst was a wealthy widow, and Lldderdale had come home. I arrived in due time at Holdsworth's residence, but failed to see Lldderdale among the guests present. My host approached. "I am sorry to say that Lldderdale will not be here, Halifax,!' he aaid. "Early this morning I saw his card lying on my hall table with the address of the Hotel Metropole scribbled in one corner.. There was also some writing on the back saying that he would call later in the day. I was unable to stay in, but left a note inviting him co dine here this evening, and telling him that Alma Colthurst was to be one of the guests. When I returned home, 1 found that he had not come back, and a few moments later I received a telegram stating that he would call tomorrow, as he had been prevented from doing so today. And now I suppose you will like to see your old friend, Mrs. Colthurst— she is present." "Does she know of Lidderdale's re* turn?" I asked, curiously. "Yes, I told her. She was much agitated; you know how attached she was- to him in the past. Well, she is wealthy and free now, and I hope they will make a match of it. Alma was greatly disappointed when I told her Lldderdale would not be> here after all. 1 have arranged that you are to take her down to dinner." A few moments later I found myself seated beside Mrs.- Colthurst, whom I had not met since her widowhood. I noticed as I glanced at her, that her beautiful face was thin to emaciation, and she seemed to be laboring under a severe nervous strain. I mentioned Lidderdale's return home, and her cheeks flushed as she spoke of his long absence and her desire to see him again. I was about to say something^ more, when a lady who was seated across from us bent forward and said: "Mrs. Colthurst, I have great news for you. Mrs. Holdsworth had induced Haridas, the famous chiromancist, to come here after dinner—-we can all have our fortunes told!" "Haridas 1" cried Mrs. Colthurst. "Is it possible? I have longed to go to him, but have been afraid." "Do you really believe in chiromancy 7" I. asked. "EmphaticaUy," was the reply. "I Intend to submit my palm for Haridas' inspection, and whatever he tells me I shall believe." Soon afterward. In response to a summons from our host we proceeded to the drawing room, which was already crowded. Presently a Brahmin, attired in a rich Oriental costume, entered. He was accompanied by a handsome young woman of his own atlonality. Mrs. Holdsworth conducted the pair to a little platform arranged to receive them, and then introduced them to her guests. "The name of Haridas," she said, "is of course well known. . He does not speak English, so his assistant, Mungela, will act as his interpreter." Several of the guests took advantage of the fortune teller's arrival, and declared themselves astounded by the knowledge he possessed of their past lives. His prophesies of the future also gave much satisfaction, and presently Mrs. Colthurst touched my arm. « "It is my turn now," she said, and went up to the platform. I saw Haridas take her hand and examine the palm closely. He glanced at his assistant, and it seemed to me t^at there was consternation i n his bronze features. He talked rapidly i n his music* al Hindustani, and Mungela trans* lated the meaning of his words to Mrs. Colthurst When the young widow returned to my side, her face was ashy gray and she spoke i n nervous accents: "He told me all my past, and accurately* too," she said. "But he won't say a word about my future? I believe he knows something terrible. Go, Dr. Halifax, and ask him for the truth; he w i l l tell you, I ~ I walked over to T h e l a d y whose (Copyright, by W. G. Chapman.) just read is rather alarmed," I said. He spoke of her past but said nothing regarding her future. Perhaps he will tell me in confidence what he thought well to hide from her." Mungela shook her head sadly. "Haridas cannot tell her future," she replied. "Everything is finished—it is all done." In spite of my disbelief in the whole business, I felt unaccountably disturbed by this remark. However, I returned to Mrs. Colthurst laughing. "I have found out nothing," I s a i d lightly. "Evidently there is a limit to the magician's powers; he cannot foretell your future." "You mean he will not" she responded somberly. "I wish I centdv^nake him speak. Her face looked haggard and worn. Soon afterward she bade her hostess good night, Bhook hands with me, and left the room. I had just risen on the following morning, when to my surprise my servant ushered in Charles Holdsworth. "Halifax," he cried excitedly, "Alma Colthurst is dead, murdered. She was found in her drawing room early this morning, stabbed to the heart The police suspect Lldderdale." "Good heavens," 1 exclaimed, "there must be a mistake. Lldderdale is incapable of such a crime." "Well, the servant's story is as follows," said Holdworth. "Alma returned home between 11 and 12 last night. She found a card from Lldderdale lying on the hand table, with a line in pencil that he would call to see her about, midnight. She told the servant that he was to be admitted, and went up to her drawing room to wait for him. He arrived and was shown upstairs. About halfpast twelve Lldderdale left the house. At Alma's request her maid had already gone to bed. When Lldderdale went away, the butler extinguished the lights in the rest of the house, but did not return to the drawing room, as Alma never liked to be disturbed, and as a rule put out the lights there her* self. On entering the room early this morning, he found his mistress stretched on the floor, quite dead. A doctor was summoned, and declared that she was stabbed through the heart, and had been dead for many hours." "How terrible," I .cried. "Holdsworth, I almost begin to believe in chiromancy. Haridas would not tell her future last night and said she had none. Yet I cannot believe Lidderdale guilty." "But think of the circumstantial evidence. He will,! of course, be arrested on suspicion. Let us go to the Metropole, and find out what has happened." On our arrival at the hotel, the manager informed us that no gentleman of that name was staying there. "The police have already been inquiring for him," he said, pointedly. "But here is his visiting card," expostulated Holdsworth. "He left it al my house yesterday, with the name of your hotel scribbled in the corner. "Probably the name of the hotel was used as a blind," remarked the manager. This did not satisfy me. I knew that I would recognize Lidderdale if I should see him, and when Holdsworth left I remained behind in the entrance hall, watching the guests as they passed in and out. But no one In the least degree resembling the man I sought put in an appearance, and soon after noon I went away. The case looked black again the missing man. The writing in the corner of the visiting card left at Boldsworth's house was easily identified with some of Lidderdale's letters which I possessed; a similar card had been found at Mrs. Colthurst's, with writing also in Lidderdale's hand. On the night of the 21st a man answering to his description had called on Mrs. Colthurst, and in the morning she was found stabbed to the heart. A week passed, and still the police had obtained no trace of the supposed murderer. But returning home one evening, I was almost stunned when my servant informed me that Lidderdale was waiting to see me in my laboratory. I rushed to the room, and Harry Lidderdale, looking much the same as when I last saw him, came forward to meet me. , "How are you, Halifax?" he said, cheerily. "I have not been two hours in New York, and naturally you are the first person I wanted to see. Why, what is the matter?" he queried, observing the horrified expression on my face. "You have not been here two hours," I repeated. "Impossible. Don't you know what has happened? I am amazed at seeing you. I thought—you will forgive me, but I must speak plainly—! fancied you were hiding from the police." "J hiding from the police!" he ex me, on the score of my poverty, I was convinced, I resolved to leave the country, cut all my connections, and make for South Africa. There I was Joined by a man named Colville. He and 1 had been chums at college; he also knew Alma, and the first thing which drew us together was the mention ot her name. He had a little money, and we agreed to purchase a share in a diamond mine. We did, in fact I soon became rich. Colvllle took fever and very nearly died. I nursed him, and on his supposed deathbed he made a confession. He also loved Alma, and in order to win her had gone to see her and told her lies about me— that I was secretly engaged to another girl, and more^-aud the poor girl believed him. He had no knowledge at the time that pressure was being brought to bear ujpon her to wed General Colthurst. When he discovered that his nefarious scheme had failed, and that he could not win her, he resolved to join me in Africa, His object, he said, was to watch me in order to prevent my having the least communication with Alma, feeling sure that if he bided his time he would win her yet,-as she -seemed certain to survive old Colthurst, who was in very poor health. He expressed penitence for what he had done, but to my,great surprise, and his own, recovered. When he was well again I told him we must dissolve partnership. We did so, and he left me, telling me that he intended to travel through Matabeland, and cross the Zambesi into the Congo Free State. I have not heard from him for several months. By accident I received information of Colthurst's death and resolved to return home. But as my health was much impaired, I acted on a physician's advice and took a long sea voyage. I went from Africa to Marseilles in a trading steamer. From there I took passage in a small brig called the S t Cyr for New Orleans. This sailing ship was not supposed to carry passengers, out I made friends with tbe captain and he was not averse to making a few dollars for his own pocket by taking me along. Strangely «•1I have made up my mind how to act," he said. "Now that Alma is dead I am rather Indifferent as to what becomes of me. In any case, I cannot live under a cloud. Halifax, you must accompany me to police headquarters and I will tell them all." could not but admit that this/was the proper course, and we went to the Central office. A n interview with the chief followed, and that official informed Lidderdale that it was his duty to place him under arrest. My friend went off to await his examination before the magistrate. The longer I thought over the case the more I became convinced that Lidderdale was right in his conjecture and that Colvllle must be the guilty person. I resolved to visit Mrs. Colthurst's house. knowledge of eastern diseases. Dr. Materick and I were close friends, and had done some good work together. I gave him a brief outline of my story and showed him the stain on the microscopical slide. He looked at it carefully, and corroborated the discovery I had made. "There is nojt the least doubt," he said, "t^at only, a person coming from the west coast of Africa could contract this parasite, atf it is found nowhere .else in the world.'" "Then, of course," I cried, "this is of great importance to Lidderdale, who has never, to my knowledge, been in West Africa." "Your friend has come, you tell me, straight from South Africa. Well, we can sbon discover if he has the tilaria I had been there frequently during the j perstans in his own blood; if not, the past week and the servants knew rae natural conclusion is that he could not well. I saw the butler, Carson, who kaV e been the murderer. But before had chanced to be the first to discover \ forget, I have a somewhat remarkathe corpse of his murdered mistress, and got him to take me to the fatal room. It had been left undisturbed since the Inquest Carson went to draw up one of th,e blinds. As he did so, I saw a dark stain of blood on the carpet where the unfortunate girl had fallen after she had received her death wound. In one corner of the room, put away on a table, I perceived a couple of decanters; they were both half full, and contained either wine or cognac. * "What are those bottles doing there?" I asked. 'They contain the brandy and sherry which were taken into the room the night of the murder," he answered. "When Mrs. Colthurst saw Mr. Lidderdale's card on her return home she desired me to bring refreshments to the drawing room, and I put the brandy and sherry and biscuits here." I lifted one of the decanters—it contained cognac. As I was putting it back I noticed, lying by its side, a broken wine glass. Nearly half of the upper portion of the glass had been smashed, but enough remained to allow a dark stain to show plainly i n Litterdale, Alma i* dead, murdered,— dnd# God telpud, you.arefcfcccuaed. of the, deed!" Halifax. Is this a joke?' "Not at all," I replied confusedly. "But Why did you leave New York as you did, and cut us all, and then come back--?" enough, the poor old St. Cyr caught fire on,.the day after her arrival in New Orleans, some explosive stuff in the cargo blew her to atoms and the captain and his officers were all killed. I arrived here from the Crescent city this morning." "There is some frightful plot behind all this," I said. "Lidderdale, Alma is dead, murdered—and God help us, you are accused of the deed!" He sank back in his chair and gazed at me with staring eyes and pallid face. I gave him a rapid account of what had taken place, and assured him that I, for one, believed him guiltless of the crime. " A l l the same," he said, "I can see, Halifax, that I am I n an awful net. The fact is—I cannot help it—I suspect Colville. You have never seen the man, but he is as like me as a twin brother." "But what motive could he have had in committing such a terrible crime?" I asked. "Jealousy," replied Lldderdale, without hesitation. "Alma would never have anything to do with him. I suppose he used my name to get an interview with her. But I seem to have made a mess of things all around. It is going to be hard for me to prove my tale. Since I left New York I have always gone under another name. I didn't want my friends to write to me, and when I arrived in Africa I took the name of John Ross. My shares in the mine are in that name. I have a large sum of money in the hank, but can only draw it in the name of Ross. In short, fool that I am, I have surrounded myself with complications." "At a l l events," I said, "you can prove that you sailed on a certain date in a certain vessel from Africa to Mar* sellles; you were entered i n the ship's books as John Ross; the captain and crew and passengers would know you again." "They might, if they could be found, bib thing to tell you. There is a patient In my hospital at the present moment suffering from a disease called the sleeping sickness, which is caused by filaria perstans, and can only be contracted in West Africa, although this particular symptom may not show itself until years after the person" has been there. Would you like to see the case ?" "I certainly should," I replied. "Well, I will call for you this afternoon and drive you to my hospital." At four o'clock that day I found myself standing by^'the bedside of the patient. \ "He will not recover," said Materick in a low voice. "The symptoms are of an aggravated description. As a rule, the disease lasts^ from three months to as many years, and is characterized by slowly increasing somnambulism and lethargy. These symptoms* gradually increase until the patient is almost continually asleep." While Materick was speaking I was watching the patient He was a slender, dark man; his face was bathed in perspiration, his black hair was pushed back from his forehead. Where had I seen those features before, that somewhat peculiar length of jaw, the shape of the low forehead? "Look here, Materick!" I cried with excitement; "I believe that Providence brought me to this bedside. The man lying there has a look of Lidderdale. The more I watch him the more my suspicion strengthens. The life of my friend hangs in the balance. I should like to hear the circumstances under which this patient came to the hospital, and also, with your permission, to watch the case." "Both your wishes can be gratified," returned Materick "Come, with me to the lady superintendent.'' We left tne ward and interviewed the superintendent. She informed us that, the patient with the sleeping sickness had been found in the street a week ago t,o ali appearance in a state ot intoxication, and boon taken into ihe police station; but finding that he was seriously ill tho police brought him to the hospital. Jle had scarcely opened his lips since. When taken up he was tto io evening drc?rfs. No one knew his name; he spent his entire time sleeping, although for the pa't. tew days ne had been suffering from tremor and spasms. He had arrived at the hospital on the morning of the 22d<of June. 1 looked at Materick. "The raurdor took place on the night ot the 21st," i eaid. Having agreed to my request to stay behind, Materick took his departure. Presently I found myself practically aione with the patient. The case was a bad one and liable to terminate fatally within a few hours at the latest. At my desire one of the nurses brought a Screen to put round the sick man's Finally he opened ms eyes and glared at me. I bent over him. "Colville," I said, "do you know that Lidderdale has returned. He has been arrested for Mrs. Colthurst's murder. You alone can explain that crime. Do not go to your Maker with that sin unconfessed on your soul." "Why do you call me Colville?" he gasped. "You cannot deny your name, and that you are guilty of murder." "Don't speak so loud; I am too ill to talk to you^" he. whispered. He turned over, trembled violently and the next moment was convulsed by a spasm. The nurse came to his assistance. When the fit passed he sank into a "I killed, her in a fit of frenzyAsfce, said. "She refused to have anything' to do with me. Yes, I borrowed your; name. Months ago. I meant to do something of the kind, and I also managed, while with you i n Africa, to secrete some of your visiting cards. I had made 'careful copies of ^our handwriting and knew I could imitate it sufficiently to deceive anyone who was not an expert. I knew Alma would see me if she thought I was you. She did so; but wjjen she discovered Aha' trick her rage and scorn were greater than 1 can describe. Then I resolved that you, at least, should not have tha* prize which 1 could not obtain. I had a large claspknil'e in my pocket; I opened it and stabbed her to the heart. The instant I did the deed I repented. I ran to a decanter which contained brandy and poured out a glass —I was i l l at the time—I had been queer lor weeks. One of those awful tremors assailed me—the glass fell from my trembling hands and I cut myself. I filled up another and drained off the contents. The stimulant gave me strength and nerve to leave the house as quietly as if nothing had happened." His voice faltered, but making a terrific effort he sat up in bed. The detectives pushed aside-the screen and one of them handed a paper to Lidderdale. "Get him to sign this," he said. "Put your name here, Colville," said' Lidderdale. A choking laugh was the response. "The law cannot reach -me now," he croaked, "so I don't mind signing." Ho scribbled his name feebly at the bottom of the paper. [ "She is lost to us both now, Lidderdale," he continued; "that is my only comfort." This was his final remark. He sank back on his pillow in another fit, in which he died. Of course Colville's confession cleared Lidderdale, and the latter left for abroad almost immediately. "I have nothing to live for now," was his parting remark to me on the day I saw him off. But he Is young, and Time, the great healer, may yet cause him to think differently. T H E D O G A S M A N ' S B E S T F R I E N D A writer Mail, who deeper sleep than ever.

And the destruction of the S t Cyr has removed the other witnesses to my identity." I persuaded Lidderdale to stay for my house, and in the momme with a brave face. the bottom. I examined It closely and came to the conclusion that it wasjaj/bed. He lay muttering to himself, blood-stain. Now, from the appearance of the broken glass I did not think for a moment that the dark stain was caused by the victim. In all probability the man who had wielded the knife had ruahea, after the horrible deed was done, to steady his nerves with a drink of brandy. In his agitation he had doubtless broken the top of the glass, and perhaps cut himself in so doing; the blood had poured down inside, and now lay clotted in the bottom of the glass; I suddenly remembered that I had some microscopical slides and a cover "lass in my pocket. I took out the case, slipped a slide away from its fellows and, taking a smear from the clot hi the bottom of the glass, put it on the slide. As soon as It bad dried 1 put the slide back into the cover glass and left the house. I went straight to my laboratory and submitted the slide to the tests necessary for the thorough examination of the smear of blood. I had no sooner done so than an exclamation of astonishment escaped me. This blood contained a quantity of the remarkable parasite, filaria perstans. As this parasite has never been contracted anywhere except on the west coast of Africa this fact proved conclusively that the blood was not that of Mrs. Colthurst It must therefore follow, as a natural consequence, that it could only come from a person who had been i n West Africa. As I eagerly studied the dark smear I remembered a remark Lidderdale had made. He told me that when Colville and he parted company Colville had started to travel through Matabeland, across the Zambesi, Into the Congo Free State. It was therefore quite plausible that, on his way down the Congo, while living among tbe natives, Colvllle might have contracted, unknown to himself of course, the parasite filaria perstans. I had studied eastern diseases with care, and was well acquainted with the peculiar nature of this strange parasite. Was it possible that I now held in my hand the means of clearing my friend? ^ After a few moments of careful reflection I went to^the house of a specialist who was Celebrated for his in the New York Evening 1B evidently no enthusiast over polar exploration,9does justice to some of the forgotten heroes of it in a rather surprising fashion.

It (hey were goo 1 for anything, liiey would by right belong to the dog; but he has no more use for the in than we have.

Not the leas! tragic page in the loi.g story of the polar quest, is that, which tells of the agony of the dogs whose endurance and capacity lor suffering alone made it possible. It is rare to find any explorer who utters a word ol pity, or feels any remorse when he orders them to be slain for food. Yet, as the writer quoted above somewhat bitterly remarks, tbe dogs have been the real conquerors of the polar regions. In like manner, it may be fairly claimed that many of the surgical operations that daily save so many human lives would have been impossible without the highly organized and pitifully intelligent creature which lent itself so admirably to the purposes of the vJvisectlonist. Most of the progress in modern surgery has been brought about by the incessant torture of the only animal in the whole stretch of creation- that has ever had the courage to love man and insist upon being his friend. To those who have "given their hearts to a dog to tear," the cost of such discoveries will always bring infinite disquiet. They yield to none in admiration of the great explorer or the great surgeon, but to them those unregarded helpers who buy success w^th their poor lives and have none of the glory of It are shadows that almost hide made up in an instant There should be witnesses when next he woke. His death was but a matter of an hour or two, and if possible he should be made to speak before he passed away. I left the hospital and went straight to police headquarters. After an interview with the chief I returned to the hospital accompanied by Lidderdale and two detectives. We sought Colville's bed and Lidderdale stepped inside the screen, while I remained on the other side with the two policemen. I heard Lidderdale utter a startled exclamation, and knew he had found his man. "Rouse yourself; I am here," he said ill a hoarse voice. The patient started and muttered in his sleep. "Open your eyes," continued Lidderdale. "Do you remember when you were i l l last—do you remember what you confessed? Awake, Colville, awake!" The well-known tones burst through the terrible lethargy which was carry* ing the man to his grave—he opened his eyes. The detectives and I moved a little nearer, and one of them pro* duced a note book, prepared to take down any confession which might be made. "Am I uying?" asked the sick man. "You are," responded Lidderdale gravely^ "Tell the truth. Why did you take Alma's^ life ?" Colville's eyes, so like those of the man who etood beside him; glittered strangely. There are good dogs and bad dogs; hut the majority of dogs are good, and the man who has a faithful dog for a friend can afford to laugh at the worst tricks of fate. The gentlest mistress, the tenderest mother, tbe dearest child, will never love him as a dog loves him with an absolute, uncritical, unquestioning affection. No matter though humanity has cast him out and he slinks through swamps and thickets, with a price on his head, the love of the dog holds fast, survives starvation and ill-usage and impels blm to die for his master, if need be, without a thought that it is possible to do anything else. The dog's faith in the man is perfect It is not to be moved by any evil received i n return from his merging of his life in another which he dimly comprehends. He has no hope of future reward to encourage his fidelity o r v e * o » e * * 0 * ^ sufferings, here; and tfo':vtih^ his unique place among the other ere** \ A Y ! tures who are absolutely indifferent to < ^ mankind is something that n o t - ^ few tender hearted people \afrt < J M d - to contemplate too closely.

When Betty Malroy rode away from Squire Balaam's Murrell galloped after her. Presently she heard the beat of tils horse's hoofs as he came pounding along the sandy road, and glanced !>ack over her shoulder. With an exclamation ot displeasure she reined in fcer horse. Murrell quickly gained a place at her side. "I suppose Ferris is at the Barony?" ihe said, drawing his horse down to a tfralk. ' "I believe he is," said Betty w^th a ,4*ur:t little air. 4 "May I ride with you?" he gave her W swift glance. She nodded' indififerentty and would have urged her liorse fnto a gallop again, but he made :'a gesture of protest. "Don't—or 1 iehall think you are still running away from me,'* he said with a short laugti. • "Were you at the trial?" she asked. **I am glad they didn't get Hannibal • w a y from Yancy." { "Oh, Yancy will have his hands full with that later—so will Biatien," he added, significantly. He studied her out of those deeply sunken eyes of his In which no shadow of youth lingered, for men such as he reached ftheir prime early; and it was a swlfttty^ passing splendor. "Ferris tells me you are going to west Tennessee?" lie said at length. i. "Ye«." 1 ""1 know your half-brother, Tom wWare—-I know him very well." % "So you know Tom?" she observed, land frowned slightly. Tom was her guardian, and her memories of him cwere • not satisfactory. A burly, unshaven man with a queer streak of jmeanness through his character. * "You've spent much of your time *up north?" suggested Murrell, 1 4\Four years. I've been at school, you know. That's where I met Judith ^Ferris." . *'I hope you'll Hke west Tennessee, It's still a bit raw compared with jwhat you've \ been accustomed to in ^fhe north. You haven't been back in mil those four years?" Betty shook her head. "Nor seen Tom—nor any one from out yonder?" For some reacon a little tinge of color had crept .Into Bettv's cheeks. "Will you let me renews Our acquaintance at Belle Plain? I shall be in west Tennessee jbefore the summer is over; probably 2 shall leave here within a week," he *ald, bending toward her. His glance dwelt on her face and on the pliant Hines of her figure, and his senses swam. ' •"1 imagine you will be welcome at "Belle Plain. You are Tom's friend." aiurrell bit his lip, and then laughed as his mind conjured up a picture of the cherished Tom. Suddenly he reached out and rested his hand on liers. "Betty—if I might think—" he began, but his tongue stumbled. His love-making V a s usually of a savage cort, but some quality in the girl held him in. check. Betty drew away from him, an angry color on her cheeks And an angry, light in her eyes. "For- ^ive me, Bet^y!" murmured Murrell, but b*s heart beat against his ribs, «nd passion sent its surges through fcim, ^pon't you know what I'm trying to tell you?" he whispered. Betty feathered up W reins. "Not yet—" he cried; and again he rested a heavy hand o i hers. "Letjfme ^o—let me go!" cried Bett y indignantly, *<No-~tiot yet!"

Bruce's first memories had to do with long nights when he perched beside his father on the cabin roof of their keel-boat and watched the stars or the blurred line of the shore where it lay against the sky, or the lights on other barges and rafts drifting as they were drifting, with their wheat and corn and whisky, to that common market at the river's mouth. Bruce Carrington had seen the day of barge and raft reach its zenith, had heard the first steam packet's shrieking whistle, which sounded the death-knell of the ancient order, though the shifting of the trade was a slow matter and the glory of the old did not pass over to the new at once, but lingered still in mighty Meets of rafts and keel-boats and in the Homeric carousals of some ten thousand of the half-horse, half-alligator breed that nightly gathered in New Orleans. . After the reading of the warrant that morning, Charley Balaam had shown Carrington the road to the Forks, assuring him when they separated that with a little care and decent use of his eyes it would be possible to fetch up there and not pass plumb through the settlement without knowing where he was, y ^TTe^aT'onTiis way4 To Fayctteville, where he intended to spend the night, and perhaps a day or two in rooking around', when the meeting with Betty and Murrell occurred. The girl's face remained with htm. It was a face he would like to see again. He was still thinking qjf the girl when he ate his supper that night at Cleggetfs Tavern. Later, in the bar, he engaged his host in idle gossip. He had met a gentleman and a lady on the road that day! he wondered, as he toyed with his glass, if it could have been the Ferrises? Mounted? Yea, mounted. Then it was Ferris and his wife—or it might have been Captain Murrell and Misa Malroy. Miss Malroy did not live in-that part of ihe counter; she was a friefnd ot Mrs. Ferris', belonged in Kentucky or Tennessee,, or, somewhere out yonder —at any rate she was bringing her visit to an end, for Ferris had instructed him to reserve a place for her in the north-bound stage on the morrow. Carrington suddenly remembered thaf he bad thought of starting north .in t£e morning JMm9eU\ t (i i The stage left at six, and as Car- ^•Ulgton climbed to his seat the next fiiotmlnf Mr. Cleggeti* was advising ' iitik driver tb took 4 sharp *hen ho came to- tho' fta*rony road? as he was to pick up a, party there. U--wa» u a * rtngtonwh* l o i k W .s^arp,, and rftenoat; at the spot where he had seen Miss Malroy the day before he saw her again, with Ferris and* Judith and a pile of luggage bestowed by the wayside. Betty did not observe him as the coach stopped, for she was intent on her farewells with her friends. There were hasty words of advice from Ferris, prolonged good-byg to Judith, tears—kisses—while a place was being made for her many boxes and trunks. Carrington gathered that she was going north to Washington; that her final destination was some point either on the Ohio or Mississippi, and that her name was Betty. Then the door slammed and the stage wAs in motion again. All through the morning they swung forward in the heat and dust and glare, and at midday rattled into the shaded main street of a sleepy village and drew up before the tavern where dinner was waiting them. Betty saw Carrington when she took her seat, and gave a scarcely perceptible start of surprise. Then her face was flooded with a rich color, This was the man who saw E'er with Captain Murrell yesterday! There was a brief moment of irresolution and then she bowed coldly. It. was four days to Richmond. Four days of hot, dusty travel, four nights of uncomfortable cross-road stations, where Betty suffered sleepless nights and the unaccustomed pangs of early rising. She occasionally found herself wondering who Carrington was. She approved of the manner in which he conducted himself. She liked a man who could be unobtrusive. The next morning he found himself seated opposite her at breakfast. He received another curt little nod, cool and distant, as he took his seat. "You stop in Washington?" said Carrington. Betty shook her head. "No, i am going on to Wheeling." "You're fortunate in being so nearly home," he observed. "I'm going on to Memphis." Betty exclaimed: "Why, I am going to Memphis, too!" "Are you? By canal to Cumber land, and then by stage over the Na tional Road to Wheeling?" Betty nodded. "It makes one wish* they'd finish their railroads, doesn't it? Da you suppose they'll ever get as far west as Memphis?" she said. "They say it's going to be bad for the river trade when they're built on something besides paper," answered Carrington. "And I happen to be a flatboatman, Miss Malroy." No more was said just then, for Betty became reserved and did not attempt to resume the conversation. A day later they rumbled into Washington, and as Betty descended from the coach Carrington stepped to her side. "t suppose you'll stop here, Miss Malroy," he said, indicating the tav* ern before which tbe stage had come to a stand. "Yes," said Betty briefly. "If lean be of any service to you—" he began, with Just a touch of awkwardness in his manner. "No, I thank you. Mr. Carrington," said Betty quickly. "Good night . . good-by." He turned away, and Betty saw his tali form disappear in the twilight. * • » * • * • • A month and more had elapsed since Bob Yancy'a, trial. Just two days later min^rid boy disappeared from Scratch MUL Murrell was soon on their trail and pressing forward in hot pursuit. Reaching the mountains, he heard of them first as ten days ahead of him and bound for west Tennessee; the ten days dwindled to a week, the week became five days, the five days three; and now as he emerged from the last range ot hills he caught sight of them. Yancy glanced back at the blue wall of the mountains where it lay along the horizon. "Well, Nevvy," he said, "we've put a heap of distance between us and old Scratch Hill." For the past ten days their journey had been conducted in a leisurely fashion. As Yancy said, they were seeing the world, and it was well to take a good look at it while they had a chance. Suddenly, out of the silence came the regular beat of hoofs. . These grew nearer and nearer, and at last when they were quite close, Yancy faced about. Smilingly Murrell reined in his horse. "Why—Boh Yancy!" he cried in apparent astonishment. "Yes, sir—Bob Yancty. Does it happen you are looking W hinjL, Captain?" inquired Yancy. "No—no, Bob. I'm on my way west." Murrell slipped-from his-saddle and fei} into step at Yancy's sid*» as they moved forward. "They were mightily stirred up at the Cross Roads when I left, wondering what had come of you," he observed. "That's kind of them," responded Yancy, a little dryly. Thure was no reason for it, but he was becoming distrustful of Murrell, ami uneasy. They went forward in silence. A sudden turn in the road brought them to the edge of an extensive clearing. Close to the road there were several buildings, but, not a tree had been spared to shelter them and they stood forth starkly, the completing touch to a civilization that was still in Its youth, unkempt, rather savage, and ruthlessly utilitarian. A sign announced the dingy structure of logs nearest the roadside a tavern. From the door of the tavern the figure of a man emerged. He was black-haired and bull-necked, and there was about him a certain shagglness which a recent toilet performed at the horse trough had not served to mitigate. "Howdy?" he drawled. "Howdy?" responded Mr. Yancy. "Shall you stop here?" asked Murrell, sinking his voice. Yancy nodded. "Can you put us up?" inquired Mur-, reli, turning to the tavern-keeper, "I reckon that's what I'm here for," said Slosson. Murrell glanced about the empty yard. "Slack," observed Slosson languidly. "Yes, sir, slack's the bniy name for It." It was understood he referred to the state of trade. He looked from one to the other of the two men. As -fcis eyes rested on Murrell, that gentleman raised the first three fingers of his right hand. The gesture was ever so little, yet it seemed to have a tonic effect on Mr. Slosson. What might have developed into a smile had he not immediately suppressed it, twisted his bearded lips as he made an answering movement. "Eph, come here, you!" Slosson raised his voice. This call brought a half-grown black boy from about a corner of the tavern, to whom Murrell relinquished hi* horse. "Let's liquor," said the captain over his shoulder, moving off in the direction of the bar. "Come on, Nevvy!" said Yancy following, and they all entered the tavern. "Weil^ahere's to the best of good luck!" saioVMurrell, as he raised his glass to hie lips. "Same here," responded Yancy. Murrell pulled out a roll of bills, one of which he tossed on the bar. Then after a moment's hesitation he detached a second bill from the roll and turned to Hannibal. "Here, youngster—• present for you," he said good-naturedly. Hannibal, embarrassed by the unexpected gift, edged to his tftole Bob's side. "Thank you, sir," said the boy. "Let's have another drink." sug. gested Murrell. Presently Hannibal stole out into the yard. He still held the bill in hla hand, for he did not quite know how to dispose of his great wealth. After debating this matter for a moment he knotted it carefully in one corner of his handkerchief. (TO B E dONTINTTED.,) Let Them Go On Training.

Heat gradually to boiling point, and boil without stirring until sirup will thread when dropped from tines of a silver fork. Pour sirup gradually on beaten white of eggs beating mixture constantly, and continue beating until of right consistency to spread; then add flavoring and pour over cakes, spreading evenly with back of spoon. Crease as soon as firm. If not beaten long enough, frosting will run. If beaten too long may be improved by adding a few drops of lemon juico or boiling water. This frosting is soft inside, and has a glossy surface. PRICE DEPENDS ON THE CUT Knowledge That Will Help Housewife Get the Most Out of the Meat. The price of meat depends on the cut; fore quarter is cheaper than hind quarter on the average. The most desirable cuts are porterhouse and sirloin steaks and loin roast. The flesji of ihese cuts is tender and of fine flavor. The rump furnishes a good roast; the brisket is good for roasting if baking is carefully done; if pot roasted it is not a cheap cut if the per cent, of waste is considered. Round is probably the cheapest cut if one considers actual food value; it is used for pot roasts, braised beef and hamburger steak. If chopped and properly broiled it makes a very desirable substitute for the high priced'steaks. GONE ARE DAYS OF CHIVALRY Imagine This Situation in the Time* When Knights Died for the "Love .of a Ladyel" Miss Italia Garibaldi, granddaughter of the famous "liberator," complained in Chicago about the way Italian women are treated there.

Ivory handles that have become blackened may be cleaned by rubbing them with lemon dipped in salt. A few drops of paraffin added to the shoe blacking will impart a good polish to damp shoes and also help to preserve the leather, To give a pleasant flavor to mayonnaise use vinegar that has been previously used over pickles, beets or cucumbers instead of fresh vinegar. Scratches on furniture will disappear if rubbed well with a solution of equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine. Rub this well into the scratches, and then polish with a soft cloth. To improve oilcloth, dissolve a pound of glue in a quart of water over the fire, then rub it lightly over the oilcloth with a piece of flannel and leave it to dry. If possible, do this in the evening, so that the oilcloth may not be walked on till the morning. This treatment adds Jo-the durability of the oilcloth, besides improving its appearance. Odd pieces of fruit, such as one banana, an apple or an orange, are mixed with lemon gelatin to advantage. Tough steak should be chopped and mixed.with diced potatoes and then baked. Grated cheese over this dish improves the flavor. A saucer of baked beans can be headed with catsup in a pan, and a spoonful on toasted crackers serve nicely for the noonday luncheon.

Zeke Knew Rufe. Rufe was telling Zeke about a terrible escapade he had had the night before after he had crossed the danH at the river and was making for his cabin about a half mile through the dark woods. "And jest as I stepped inter de brush I hears a funny noise like a shoat enortin'. I looks up an' a blue light jumps out er de groun' and shapes itself into a ghost about Bix foot tall. Red fire was a-fllckerin* out er its nose. I stood still kinder, ^hen lifted a long, bony finger an' says: *I want you, Rufe Jackson.'

It was a model sent out by a noted milliner in Paris, yet any needlewoman could reproduce i t The whole story hinges around the making of the daisies. Do you remember the old-fashioned rick-rack braid used on our baby dresses? In those days our mothers were busy in sewing together this serpentine braid in straight bands, in more intricate flower designs, or in motifs that were inset on yokes and sleeves. Rick-rack trimming has been revived. It is so easy and so very effective that it comes back with a double appeal. The braid is serpentine and generally white in color. It can be sewed at the points and very easily twisted in a flower that, when a yellow center of braid or linen is added, resembles a daisy with pleasing fidelity. Some daisies can be made in double rows; some In triple rows. The daisy form then changes to a dahlia; but whatever the flower may be, it is attractive. When one daisy is made, you will repeat the process, which is very easy, and add the daisies in a straight line or in an irregular wreath, one followed by two or three in a group. A' huge cabochon of these braid daisies placed at the side of a v/hite lingerie hat or a fine straw shape will look new and will remind one of the popular field flowers that have been accorded so much^avor this spring. From the millinery idea the xlever woman can depart iinto other fields of dress. On dainty little flower1 frocks of figured batiste, mull or muslin, little clusters of rick-rack daisies can be placed at the girdle, on the ends of sashes or in garlands that hold up the drapery at the side of a skirt. A high waist line can be outlined with these pretty little flowers, As *the rick-rack braid is procurable ' in ^seyeral widths, daisies can be made in several sizes, and a delightful variety can be given by grouping little and big flowers. Rick-rack can be bought at the art needlework department or at the notion counter of any large store. There promises to be much work in this new flower idea.

"I doctored steady and took almost everything I could get for my stomach In the way of medicine, but if I got sop better it only lasted a little while. I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day T. read an ad for Postum and told niy Vf.ife.I ,t«6^1d try it, and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee ehitrely and used Dostum in its placed :t nave regained'my health entirely and cati eat anything that is cooked to e a t r I have inere*g,ed in weight until npw.i weigh m^re.lhan I ever did. I ha^d not taken dny. medicine for my stomaelu since 1 -began using Postum. "My family would stick to coffee at first, but they saw the«effects, i t had oft me and when they were, feeling bad, they began to use Postum, one at a time, until now we all use Postum."

A nursery washstand of wicker, ornamented with the new composition callfed "French Bisque," which is coming into usage, is made to hold two little pink china wash bowls, two pitchers, a soap dish, and powder box, all of ping china. It is a convenient height for the children to use, and so pretty it should dispel the usual dread of clean face and hands, which soap and water seem to suggest to the infantile mind. The pitchers have the advantage of being smalf enough for any child to lift for himself. Copyright. Underwood & Underwood. N. Y. are trimmed w,4th a silk ruffle. The skirt is Directoire in style and is of a pale shade of satin. Although bearing the earmarks of the latest fashions, it still is simple y?nd not too showy. \. Floral Table Decorations. Have you ever seen a table in summer decorated with wild carrot? It costs nothing and when arranged in masses in a deep green bowl is cool and dainty. If you can get the seed pods to mlit in with the carrot the effect is heightened. In selecting a floral centerpiece strive for variety. Have a different decoration for each meal. Even if flowers must be used more than once, as is natural where one has a small garden, it takes little time to have a separate decoration for each meal. At breakfast keep the scheme simple. Some people will not use flowers at this meal, but a few blooms in a slender vase are sure to attract. The dinner decoration should have thought put on it. Stylish Gloves. White is still the proper shade In gloves, but tans are also good form and the various Bhades of taupe are growing in popularity. Champagne color is correct with the right costume, and black gloves will be much worn with the season's popular white costumes.

E C Z E M A D I S F I G U R E D B A B Y ' "Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but a few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags of cloth over his handsr to prevent him from scratching. He Was very restless, at night, his little face itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chicago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years. We can only recommend the Cuticura Remedies to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. H . Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb., Oct. 26, 1910.

ESTABLISH LIBRARY School Districts Can Secure Honey From the County School districts, which have not already done so are urged by the department of Public Instruction to consider the establishment of a library at the annual school meeting to be held Monday July 8* A majority vote of the [electors present will carry the proposition which does not cost the district one cent of money. Establishment of a library merely means that the school district will receive its share of the library fund which is made up of the penal fines paid to the county. As soon as a school district votes to establish a library, the township board must give to the district its share of books in the township library and of library money on hand. Thereafter the district will receive its share 1 of library appointment, this being based upon the number of children on the census roll, A well selected, library is recognized by present-day educators as the mpst valuable school equiptnet possible.

There are true sportsmen and those who are in no respect any kind of sportsmen. A true sport is not one who would enjoy seeing our lakes and streams robbed of fish. Neither does he like to see the bluegilis caught by the hundreds at this time of the year, thus destroying four-fifths of the seasons spawn. Is there a more enomical or better way to stock our lakes with fish than to prohibit all fishing for at least 30 days or more during the spawning season? Perch should , be protected in February just as much as the bluegilis at the present time. There is a recent amendment to the effect that white, silver and strawberry bass may be caught at any time of the year. This amendment takes effect ninety days after the adjournment of the special session. \ M a n y W , ^ F a r m e r ?

HOWLETT, Prop. % 0 For several years past instead of holding summer school at the different county seats throughout the state, the department of public instruction has inaugurated a system of great benefit to teachers whereby those summer schools for the preparation of teachers are held at the different State^Normal Colleges. L. L. Wright, state superintendent of public instruction, has ordered the county schoo commissioners whose counties are contigent to Washtenaw county to hold their summer institute at Ypsilanti Normal College, which will hold itoc summer session of six weeks beginning June 24 and closing Aug. 2. Counties adjoining other State Normal Colleges have been instructed to send their teachers to those colleges for the six weeks teacher's instruction. In Livingston county many teachers have attended the summer school at Ypsilanti and praise it highly. It looks this year as though the attendance from this county wouid be the largest ever and that next year would be Livingston county's most prosperous school year.

Nomination for the presidency, with the party admittedly lacing the greatest crisis in its history, came to William H . Taft; of Obio, at 9:25 o'clock Saturday in the Republican national convention. James S. Sherman likewise was renominated as vice-president. The revolt of many of the Roosevelt delegates jn the convention was on. from the moment the permanent roll containing the names of contested delegates was approved. A "valedictory" statement was read in behalf of Col. Roosevelt, asking thaj his name be not presented and that his delegates sit in mute protest against all further proceedings. A great majority of the Roosevelt delegates in the Illinois and all in the Missouri and Idaho delegations declined to follow this advice, but Col. Roosevelt's sway over the delegations from r California, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia was all but absolute. Still Loyal to T. R. Most of the delegates from these states announced their purpose of helping give Mr. Roosevelt an independent nomination at another hall later in the evening. The split in tbe convention occasioned no surprise. It was but a fulfillment of predictions that had been made during the past several days. The closing scenes of the convention were marked by counter demonstrations for President Taft a^rtr*t?«l. Roosevelt. ' The first test vote after the announcement of the* Roosevelt valedictory came on the adoption of the party platform. The affirmative vote was* GGG. Roosevelt delegates present and .not voting numbered 34'1 01 u . There were 53 noes, 3G of them from the La Follette states of Wisconsin and North: Dakota. Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin, was placed before the convention, but Col. Roosevelt's wishes were carried out by his followers and they remained silent during the call of the states for nominations. .- Carried Out instructions. Many of the delegates, however, carried out their* primary instructions arid voted for the colonel. On the voting for president, the Roosevelt delegates again, as a rule, remained silent. The detailed vote was: Taft, 561; Roosevelt, 107; L a Follette, 41; Cummins, 17; Hughes, 2; not voting, ZA; absent, C. , At times during the balloting the convention was in great confusion. Roosevelt Men Silent The Roosevelt program as determined upon was carried out at Saturday's session of the convention after the convention had received the last of the credentials committee report and had become permanently organized. There was no bolt, but in accordance with the programno roll call was demanded, and after "the permanent organization was completed the Roosevelt men did not vote. This was in obedience to the requesK of the colonel contained in a statement read to the convention. The colonel's statement was read by Henry J. Allen, of Kansas. Mr. Allen supplemented it with a statement of his own, which he said represented the views of a majority of the Roosevelt delegates. The convention had been in session four hours and a half, when- Mr. Allen got up to read Mr. Roosevelt's statement right after the report of the committee on permanent organization had been received and adopted and Mr. Root had become permanent chairman/ The announcement by M r Allen that he had a statement to make from Theodore Roosevelt led up to a noisy, demonstration by the Roosevelt men lasting 20 minutes. The convention—the fifth day—began at 10:40, Saturday morning, when Senator Root's gavel whacked the table in some unusually vigorous strokes. The convention had been adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock, but at that hour only a few delegates were in their seats*, it-was a weary and faded-looking., lot of delegates and alternates that came slowly into the coliseum.

Mr. Fuller says there are 130 foreign liquor dealers in the state, and only 38 6f this number have paid their $50Q state-license. . The Michigan Sanitarium and5 B nevolent association, of Battle Creek, and the Missionary society of the Methodist church, must pay back $5,- 000 and '$ltO0$ respectively, received from the estate of Edward A. Ray- "nor, according to a decision of circuit court, in Grand Rapids. Raynor was held to be physicaliy and mentally weak when he made the gifts. Though a coroner's jury in Battle Creek agreed that Zekehiah K. Bickford, secretary of the A. B. Stove Co,' did not blow his horn just before his auto struck and killed Miss Gladys Gould, the Jury declined to fix the responsibility for the tragedy on Bickford, there by knocking one prop from under the state's case againstv him for manslaughter. Five witnesses swore that there was no warning signal, but none of the five saw the girl struck. Two of the witnessed agreed that the auto ran ISO fee't beyond" the point where It struck Miss Gould, indicating that Bickford was driving faster than he admits. Believing the $30,000 appropriated by the legislature for an armory is inadequate, members of the Kalamazoo M , N . G. hope to raise an additional 410,000. Addressing the graduates of the Battle Creek Sanitarium Training School for Nurses, Dr. R. L . Dixbn took occasion to attack the commercialism now so evident among physicians and nurses. "The greatest neg-, ative principal of the medical profession is its commercialism at the hands of unscrupulous individuals," said Dixon, "and theje is the same tendency in" 4toe nursing profession." There were 48 in the class. Commerce Pourt Judge Will Be Tried' in v Senate. : ~ Voting to report articles of .impeachment against Judge Robert W.

At St. Andrews some years ago an old farmer and his plowman were carting sand from the seashore. They were behind the target on the riflerange, but hidden by a bank of sand from a party of volunteers, who were then on foot, at practice. A stray bullet struck the plowman on the leg, and he immediately dropped, exclaiming: "I'm shot!" Without more ado the farmer scrambled up the bank and, waving his hand to the volunteers, shouted: "Hey, lads, stop that will ye? You've shot a man, and it micht hae been the horse !"-pLondon Tit-Bits. DOCTOR'S SHIFT. *\ Now Gets Along Without it.

She knew that the only people In that wilderness were the members of her own party, three of them were at the*camp.below; the others were ascending a mountain miles away. The canon was deep sunk, and she satisfied herself by careful observation that the pool was not overlooked by any elevations far or near. Her ablutions In common with those of the rest of the campers had been by piecemeal of necessity. Here was an opportunity for a plunge in a natural bath tub. She was as certain that ehe would be under no observation as if she were in ihe privacy of her own chamber. Here again impulse determined the end. In spite of her assurance there was some lit tie apprehension In the glance that she cast about her, but it soon vanished. There was no one. She was absolutely alone. The pool and the chance of the plunge had brougbt her down to earth again; the thought of the enlivening exhilaration of the pure cold 6YNOP618.

Surveying the great range she wondered -where the peak climbers might (be* Keen sighted though she was, she oould not discover them. The crest <that they were attempting lay In another direction hidden by a nearer fepur. She was in the very heart of 'the mountains; peaks and ridges rose fell about her, so much so that the gen- *ral direction of the great range was lost She was at the center ot a far Hung cocavity of crest and range. She marked one towering point to the right o i her that rose massively grand above tall the others. Tomorrow she would climb to that high point and from its lofty elevations look upon the heavfens above and the earth beneath, aye and the waters under the earth ! far below. Tomorrow1.—it is generally known that we do not usually attempt the high points in life's range at once, content are we with lower altitudes today. • There was no sound above her; the !rushing water over the rocks upon the nearer side she could hear faintl y ; there was no wind about her to stir the long needles of the pines, it was very still, the kind of a stillness of 'body which is the outward and visible complement of that stillness of the BOUI in which men'know God. There had been no earthquake, no storm, the mountains had not heaved beneath her feet, the great and strong wind bad not passed by, the rocks had not been rent and broken, yet Enid caught iherself listening as if for a voice. The thrill of majesty, silence, loneliness was upon her. She stood—one stands 'when there is a chance of meeting God on the way, one does not kneel until he comes—with her raised hands clasped, her head uplifted In exultation unspeakable, God-conquered with her face to heaven upturned. * M I will lift up mine eyes to the hills whence cometh my salvation/' !her heart sang voicelessly. "We praise thee, oh, God, we magnify thy holy aiame forever," floated through her 'brain, in groat appreciation of the marvelous work of the Almighty shapi n g master hand. Caught up as it were into the heavens, her soul leaped to meet its maker. Thinking to find God she waited there on the heaven kissing hill. How long she stayed she did not realize; she took no note of time; it did not occur to her even to look at the watch on her wrist, she had swept the skyline cut off as it were by the peaks when first she came, and when at last she turned away—even divinest moments must have an end—she looked not backward. She saw not a little cloud hid on tbe horizon behind the rampart of the ages, as it were, to bigger than a man's hand, a cloud fuil of portent and which would alarm greatly the veteran Klrkby in the camp and Maltland on the mountain top. Both of them unfortunately were unable to see It, one being on the other side of the range, and the other deep in tbe canon, and for both of them as for the girl the sun still ahone brightly. The declivity tp the river on the tipper side; was comparatively easy and; Enid Maltland went slowly and thoughtfully down to It until she reached the young torrent She got her tackle ready, but did no casting, as the made her way slowly up the ever narrowing, ever ristxffc canon, fine,was charmed and thrilled by the wild beauty of the way, the spell of Ike mountains was deep upon' her. Thoughtfully she wandered on until presently she came to another little amphitheater like that where the camp was pitched^ only smaller. String* to say, the brook or river hers broadened in a. little pool perhaps, twenty feet across; a turn had thrown! a full force of water against tne huge boulder wall and In ages Jt effort a giant cup bad been hollowed out of the native rock. The pool was perhaps four or five feet leap, the rocky bottom worn smooth, Hie clearing was upon the opposite fide and the banks were heavily longer untenanted, she was no longer wooded beyond the spur of the rock faione. as If he did not know quite what to make of the white loveUness of this unwonted apparition flashing so suddenly at him out of the water, this strange invader of the domain of which he was sole master and lord paramount, stood a great, monstrous, frightful looking grizzly bear,. Ursus Horrlbilis, indeed. He was an aged monarch of the mountains, reddish brown in color originally, but now a hoary dirty gray. His body was massive and burly, his legs short, dark colored and immensely powerful. His broad square head moved restlessly. His fanged mouth opened and a low hoarse growf came from the red cavern of his throat He was an old and terrible monster who had tasted the bloed of man and who would not hesitate to attack without provocation, especially anything at once so harmless and so whitely inviting as the girl in the pool. The girl forgot the chill of tho water "He For God's Sake!" water dashing against her own sweet warm young body changed the current of her thoughts—the anticipation of it rather. Impulsively she dropped her rod upon the grass, unpinned her hat, threw the fishing basket from her shoulder. She was wearing a stout sweater; that, too, joined the rest Nervous hands manipulated buttons and the fastenings. In a few moments the sweet figure of youth, of beauty, of purity and of innocence brightened the sod and shed a white luster upon the green of the grass and moss and pines, reflecting light to the. gray brown rocks of the range. So Eve may have looked on some bright JSden morning. A few steps forward and this nymph of the woods, this naiad of the mountains, plunged into the clear, Cold waters of the pool—a water sprite and her fountain! C H A P T E R V., The Bear, the Man and the Flood. The water was deep enough to receive her dive and the pool was long enough to enable her to sVlm a few strokes. The first chill of the i c y water was soon lost in the vigorous motions i n which she Indulged, but no more human form, however hardy and Inured, couid long endure that frigid bath. Reluctantly, y§t;wlfh tbe knowledge that she must go, after one more sweeping dive and a few magnificent strokes, she raited ber head from the water lappftg her white shoulders and shaking her face clear from tbe drops of crystal, faced the shore. It was no which formed the back of the pool She could tee the trout In It She made ready to try her fortune* but before she did to an idea came to her—daring* unconventional, extraordinary, begdt o f innocence and inexperience. ftttt the h i d been accustomed all her life to taking a bath wt the natural Htajftrstur* ofthe water at whatever with a glint ot surprise to them, too What the taw startled and alarmed her beyond measure. Planted on her clothes, looking straight at her, having come upon ber in absolute silence, nothing having given her the least warning of his approach, and now gating at her with red, hungry, evil, vicious eyet, the eyes of the covetous filled with the cruel lust of desire and carnal possession, and yet In the horror of that moment. Alone, naked, defenseless, lost In the mountains, with the most powerful, sanguinary and ferocious beast of the continent in front of her, she could neither fight nor fly; she could only wait his pleasure. He snuffed at her clothing a moment and stood with one fore foot advanced for a second or two growling deeply, evidently, she thought with almost superhuman keenness of perception, preparing to leap into the pool and seize upon her. Tho rush of the current as it swirled about her caused her to sway gently, otherwise she stood motionless and apprehensive, awfully expectant. She had made no sound, and save for that low growl the great beast had been equally silent. There was an awful fixity in the gaze the turned upon him and he wavered under i t i t annoyed him. It bespoke a little of the dominance of the human. But she was too surprised, too unnerved, too desperately frightened to put forth the full power of mind over matter. There was piteous appeal i n ber gaze. The bear realised this and mastered her sufficiently. She did not know whether she was In the water or in the air; there were but two points upon which ber consciousness was focussed in the vast ellipse of her imagination. Another moment or two and all coherency of thought would be gone. The grizzly still unsettled and uneasy before her awful glance, but not deterred by it, turned Its great head sideways a little to escape the direct imtnobllo stare brought his sharp clawed foot down heavily and lurched forward. Scarcely had a minute elapsed in which all this happened. That/huge threatening heave of the great body toward her relieved the tension. She found voice at last. Although it was absolutely futile, she realized as the cried, her released lips framed the loud appeal. "Help! for (fed's take," Although she knew she cried but to the bleak walls of the canon, the drooping pine*, the rushing river, U e [ distant heaven, the appeal went forth accompanied by the mightiest conjuration known to man. 'Tor God's sake, help!" How dare poor humanity so plead, the doubter cries. What is it to God If one suffers, another^bleeds, another dies? What answer couid come out of that silent sky? Sometimes the Lord speaks with the loud voice of men's fashioning, instead of in that still whisper which is his own, and the sound of which we fail to catch because of our own ignoble babble. The answer to her prayer came with a roar in her nervous frightened ear like a clap of thunder. Ere the first echo of it died away, it was succeeded by another and another and another, echoing, rolling, reverberating among the rocks in ever diminishing bunong drawn out peals. On the mutant the bear rose to his feet, swayed slightly and struck as at an Imaginary enemy with his weighty paws. A hoarse, frightful guttering roar burst from his red slavering jaws, then he lurched side ways and fell forward, fighting the air madly for a moment, and lay still. With staring eyes that missed no detail, she saw that the brute-had been shot in the head and jshoulder three times and that he was apparently dead. The revulsion that came over her was bewildering; she swayed again, this time not from the thrust of the water, but with sick falntness. The tension suddenly taken off, unetrung, the loose bow of her spirit quivered helplessly; the arrow of her life almost fell Into the stream. And then a new and more appalljng terror swept over her. Some man had fired that shot. AT fa eon had spied upon Diana. With this sudden revelation of her shame, the red blood beat to the white surface In spite of the chill water. The anguish of that moment was greater than before. She could be killed, torn to pieces, devoured, that was a small thing, but that she should be so outraged In her modesty was unendurable. She wished the hunter had not come. She sunk lower in the water for a moment fain to hide In its crystal clarity and realno t bestow a glance upon her. She could have cried aloud in thanksgiving for his apparent obliviousness to ber as she crouched now neck deep in the benumbing cold. The man stepped on the bank, shook himself like a great dog might have done and mar-tied over to the bear. He uprooted a small nearby pine, with the ease of a Hercules— and she had time to mark and marvel at it in spite of everything— and then with that as a lever he unconcernedly and easily heaved the body of the monster from off her clothing. She was to learn later what a feat of strength it was to move that inert carcass weighing much more than half a ton. Thereafter he dropped the pine tree by the side of the dead grizzly and without a backward look tramped swiftly and steadily up the canon through the trees, turning at the point of it and was Instantly lost to sight His gentle and generous purpose were obvious even to the frightened, agitated, excited girl. The woman watched him until he disappeared, a few seconds longer, and then she hurled herself through the water and stepped out upon tbe shore. Her sweater which the bear had dragged forward In its advance, lay on top of the rest of her clothes, covered with blood. She threw It aside and with nervous, frantic energy, wet, cold, though she was, she jerked on in some fashion enough clothes to cover her nakedness and then with more leisurely order and with necessary care she got the rest of her apparel in Its accustomed place upon her body, and then when it was all over she sank down prone and prostrate upon tbe grass by the carcass of the now harmless monster which had so nearly caused her undoing, and shivered, cried and sobbed as if her heart would break. She was chilled to the bone by her motionless sojourn, albeit It had been for scarcely more than a minute in that icy water, and yet the blood rushed to her brow and face, to every hidden part of ber In waves as she thought of it. It was a good thing that she cried; she was not a weep- She Screamed Aloud. l2ed as she did how frightfully cold she was. Yet, although she froze where she was and perished with cold she could not go out on the bank to drets, and it would avail her little, she eaw swiftly,' since the huge monster bad fallen a dead heap on her clothes. Now all this, although It takes minuses to tell, had happened In but a few seconds. Seconds sometimes include hours, even a life-time, In their brief composition. She thought it would be just as well for her to sink down and die in tho water, when a sudden splashing below her caused her to look down the stream. She was so agitated that the could make out little except that there,wat a man crossing below her and making directly toward tbe body of the bear. He was a tall black bearded man, the saw he carried a rifle, he looked neither to the right nor to the left lie did Ing woman, her teart came slowly as a rule and then came hard. She rather prided herself upon her stoicism, but in this instance the great depths of her nature had been undermined and the fountains thereof were fain to break forth. How long she lay there, warmth coming gradually to her under the direct rays of the sun, she did not know* and it wat a strange thing that caused ber to arise. It grew suddenly dark over her head. She looked up and a rim of frightful black, dense clouds had suddenly" blotted out the sun. The clouds were lined with gold and silver and, the long rays shot from behind the somber blind over tbe yet uncovered portions of the hea;ven, but the clouds moved with the: irresistible swiftness and steadiness of a great deluge, t h e wall ot them lowered above her head while ,tb*y extended steadily and rapidly across the sky toward the other site of the canon and the mountain wall. A storm was brewing such aa she had never seen, such as she had nc experience to enable her to realUe its malign possibilities. Nay. it wat now at hand. She had no clew, however, of what was toward, how terrible a danger overshadowed her. Frightened but unconscious of all the menace ol the hour, her thoughts flew down the canon to the camp. She must hasten there. She looked for her watch which she had lifted from the grass and which she had not yet put on. The grizzly had stepped upon it, It was irretrievably ruined. She judged from her last glimpse of the sun that It must now be early afternoon. She rose to her feet and staggered with weakness; she had eaten nothing since morning, and the nervous shock and strain through which she had gone had reduced her to a pitiable condition. Her luncheon had fortunately escaped unharmed. In a big pocket of her short skirt there was a small flask of whiskey, which her Uncle Robert had required her to take with her. She felt sick ane^ faint, but she knew that she must eat If she was to make the journey, difficult as it might prove, back to the camp. She forced herself to take the first mouthful ot bread and meat she had brought with ber, but when she had tasted she needed no further Incentive, she a to to the last crumb; she thought thta was the time she needed stimulants, too, and mingling the cold water from the brook with a little of the ardent spirit from the flask, she drank. Some of the chill had worn off, some of the fatigue had gone. She rose to her feet and started down the canon; her bloody sweater still lay on the ground with other things of which she was heedless. It had grown colder, but she realized that the climb down the canon would put her stagnant blood in circulation and all would be well. Before she began the descent of the pass, she cast one loDg glance backward whither the man had gone. Whence came he, who was he, what had he seen, where was he now? She thanked God for his Interference tn one breath and hated him for his presence in the other. * The whole sky was now black with drifting clouds, lightning flashed above her head, muttered peals of thunder, terrifically ominous, rocked through the silent Mils. The noise was low and subdued, but almost continuous. With a singular and uneasy feeling that she was being observed, she started down the canon, plunging desperately through the trees, leaping the brook from Bide to side where it narrowed, seeking ever the easiest way. She struggled on, panting with sudden inexplicable terror almost as bad as that which had overwhelmed her an hour before—and growing more Intense every moment, to such a tragic pass had the day and Its happenings brought her. Poor girl, awful experience really was to be hers that day. Tbe fates/ sported with her—bodily fear, outraged modesty, mental anguish and now the terror of the storm. The clouds seemed to sink lower, until they almost closed about her. Long gray ghostly arms reached out toward her. It grew darker and darker in the depths of the canon. She screamed aloud—in vain.

They tell us that the days of cutthroat competition are already gone, and that the/ will never return; that the question of service value is obtruding itself so persistently that it is impossible that it should much longer be disregarded. It is not necessary that one should be a very close student in order to find positive evidence that such a change is taking plane. In a word, we are getting to the point where we are willing to assert with all the. force of public opinion that the old rule, "Enough is enough," applies to one class of people quite as much as to another. Ten or fifteen years ago men ran their business affairs as if the general public had no rights in the matter. The sole inspiration for business was the accumulation of earnings from which to declare dividends, and any apparent desire on the part of the people to penetrate beneath the surface of things was promptly checkmated. "The public be damned" was the rule in many offices that had nothing to do with railway management. Today there is still a certain amount of this spirit, but it is rapidly being eliminated. The judicial and legislative investigations of big busi-, ness enterprises have shown man that he cannot ride roughshod over his fellows forever. As a result, the better davs are alreadv dawniner. As George W. Perkins suggests, the time has come when the "only kind of a trust that can live is one that makes money for its stockholders by manufacturing a commodity that the people need for a less price than they were able to get it for before." This is but another way of saying that service value is beginning to be an important factor in the commercial world, and, fortunately, the term "service value** does not apply to one class alone. It is not sufficient that a Jbusiness should be of value to its owners. It must also have a distinct service value to the community, or it is destined to go into the discard. G r o w t h o f S n o b b e r y i n T h i s C o u n t r y Those of us who are of Anglo-Saxon origin or descent are pretty sure to be snobs, whatever we may think. But we cannot help it; it is in the blood. There is nothing strikes an Englishman or American traveling in Latin countries more than the easy fsffniliarity which exists among the people. It is true there is class distinction, but this docs not make for haughtiness on the one hand or servility on the other. This was also the case among the Gaelic peoples until tney fell under the influence of4he Anglo-Saxon, or probably it would be more correct to say the Anglo-Norman. This man with his bard feudalists spirit, kn^wrng nothing of or caring nothing for sympathy, much less brotherhood, as between man and man, believing only in conquest; and dominion, upon him the fugus of snobbery grew apace. Every one of us today who humiliates a man. because he is poor or insignificant or toadies to another because he is rich or powerful is imitating the Anglo-Norman.

We have, it is true, our devotees of "blood" too, but they are not quite sure of themselves. Of course there are many degrees of snobbery and it is to be found in the kitchen as well as in the parlor. How to eradicate it? Ah, I wish I could tell. I fear satire will never do it. For do we not, know that Thackeray's great work, "The Book of Snobs," was written in vain? T H E R E is in current use a proverb disrespectful to womankind in genera], unkind, unchivalric, and I hope and believe, without foundation in fact. To be sure, it only mentions one class of women. It hits the sex as a whole. This proverb alleges that maiden ladies are all duly catalogued, and at death will be ticketed to the lower regions, where their occupation will be "to lead apes." Now for myself, I think in a way it is a pity for any woman "to blush unseen and waste her sweetness on the desert air" of "single blessedness." But is a woman who never ories; but how many have attentively con-' fh n a d n 8 £Xa n?h m 0 r e t 0 ' * J than a man in the same s<ift uation^?

She cannot help herself, and is therefore not to blame, while the old bachelor is and remains so of malice prepense. It might seem as if this proverb had perhaps unconsciously settled itself very far back in the occiput of some women, either never' fancied by any man or not by the right one, who had determined to begin a course of preparatory study on earth so as to be qualified for duties down below. It must be some thought like this that lies at the root of the sentiment of the young lady who devotes all her time and attention and a good deal of her money to the excessive care of dumb animals. She has a kennel of fancy pups, which is all right, and if she would confine her attention to perfectly proper puppy cultivation there would be no fault to find. "Society's" Peculiar Follies. Xow "society** is peculiar, whether at home in the Fifth avenue mansions or in the summer season at Newport and other seaside resorts. The rest of the world has heard with mingled amusement and derision of monkey dinners given by the wc-nen of what Is called the haute ton. It is a matter of record that some of them, if they look back a generation or two, spell the first word hoe. Where the young woman enjoying leisure from all occupation, too luxurious a life and the use of entirely too much money goes wrong in her devotion to puppies and kittens, is in letting: her imagination run away with ber to such a degree thaj* she appears to confuse the dumb animals with the young offspring of her own race and- treats them accordingly. These aristocratic puppies of this aristocratic maiden lady have their finger and toe nails carefully manicured every morning, and their teeth brushed, each canine having his own outfit. If that is not preparing "to lead apes in hell" it is certainly neither preparation nor practice for anything quite human or at all useful in this life. Oh, no, I don't belong to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It is not because I have no care for doggie or pussy, I have almost an affection for dogs and horses, and, unlike the "crank" referred to by Shylock, have no antipathy to the "harmless cat." Tribute to Charles Crocker. Miss Jennie Crocker is a Californian. She is a granddaughter of Charles Crocker, one of the original "big four" to whom all Californians owe the first trans-continental railroad built in the state, which added much to the comfort of us all, and to the prosperity of the state. Many of us knew Mr. Crocker in his lifetime, and those who knew him best liked him most. He had enemies a-plenty, but most of them were persons who never met him, and whose objections were purely academic. The railroad in whose directorate his name appeared did some things that were not entirely right. Do any of you know any great enterprise of the present time or of any past time that was entirely "without sin?" It became popular to rail against the railroad, and the railing was done very largely because of the road's political activity. Also the railing was done in a large part by politicians who schemed night and day to keep the railroad in politics in order to make it pay to get legislation passed which would be beneficial to,the people as a whole, or to stop the passage of such legislation as would be detrimental to the railroad and to the public alike. The late Charles Crocker was tin abrupt man, as was natural to one of his birth, bringing up and lifetime habits. But he was a man of very hard common sense, and never "put on a bit of style" nor made any pretensions because he had happened to become a very rich man. As millionaire railroader he was as democratic as when he was a country miller back in Indiana. Nor was he a curmudgeon, either, but often gave generously of his means to persons in need or for proper purposes. More in Crocker's Line. From my own knowledge of him I have a fixed opinion that he would much rather have endowed a bed in a hospital or asylum where sick and necessitous children might be cared for, than .to build a palatial kennel for dogs, h would be much more like his good common sense to send a box of tooth brushes to such an asylum or hospital than to" buy one for the most highly-bred pup tbat ever uttered a "bow-wow." I have known a great many maiden ladles in my lifetime, some of them sweet sixteen, and some of them just as sweet at sixty. They were in all respects most estimable persons, full of kindly sympathy and cheerful as the birds that Bing in the summer day, without a particle of bitterness bred from disappointment in the matrimonial or any other line. Yet I always felt sorry for them, and the more sympathetic, bright and contented they were, the more my pity grew. No, It is true, my lamentations were not always for the spinsters themselves, but divided itself Into their account iantWhat of some man who had missed the inestimable bless- Ing ot, lifelong companionship and partnership with them.

And let me tell you, some of them had too much humanity, carefully cultivated under Christian Influences not to find an outlet for their sympathies and love, and it was not lavished foolishly, inhumanly on puppies or kittens. Now, Miss Jennie Crocker is no doubt not the least in the world like "Lady Clara Vere 4 e Vere" in pride of ancestry or of money. While she has nothing in her ancestry to blush for, it would make "the grand old gardener and his wife" smile broadly to hear one of the Crockers indulging in "pride of long descent." On the other hand, she has plenty of the wealth which constitutes too much or the patent of nobility in democratic America. Yet, as I say, she is not known to manifest any pride on this account. But like Tennyson's Lady Clara, would it not be better for the Lady Jennie to teach the neighbor boy to read and the neighbor girl to sew than to waste such frivolous attentions on the aristocratic puppy and pussy? Now, it may be that there are no children to teach to read or to sew. But let me warn Lady Jennie, there are thousands of them who would reap great benefits in being provided with a tooth brush and taught the proper use of it. If, moreover, doggie is provided with a manicure set and a tooth brush you may be well assured his fare is too luxurious for his health and too costly for Christian "charity in a city where there are so many miserable little souls unprovided with proper dress and often hungry for lack of food. Makes for Class Hatred. Miss Crocker and her whole class are menaced every day in the world in their material Interests by a grow* ing socialism, increasing daily in its intense bitterness and class hatred. These rich people are often menaced in their person by.,-the hostility of some of those against whom the currents of life'run too strong to be successfully resisted. "There is not a tinge nor touch of socialism or sympathy with socialism in my make-up. If there "rs anything I indulge a sentiment of hatred toward this Is it. But I do see that just such conduct as this young woman is guilty of (and I used the word guilty with due deliberation) encourages the growth of socialism, and fosters the class hatred which is making life often dangerous in other cities like New York, and it always makes the management of large industrial enterprises difficult in the extreme. For the sake of the love of the A l l Father who made us all, and loves us all, for the sake of our common humanity and of our own families, let this frivolity in the foolish care of puppies and cats go to—and let us expend our sympathies as well as our money on the care of the destitute waifs whose present life is miserable, and whose future life to the country may be dangerous* Has. Repented Her Foolishness. Glory be, Miss Crocker confirms the views set forth above on the influence of heredity and the ethics concerning puppies and babies. After the foregoing was written comes an announcement that this sensible young lady has ordered her kennel of thoroughbred dogs sold, and that she is about to eschew "single blessedness" and share all the sweetness of her personality with a young bridegroom who I_ Eincerely hope may prove in every "way worthy of a Crocker bride. As the daughter of the late Colonel Crocker, Miss Jennie should be quite like all good little girls who as the fairy tale tells us are made of "sugar and spice and everything nice." But she is only half a Crocker, and therein again "noblesse oblige." Her mother was the daughter of the late D. 0. Mills, and if there were ever anything better in the line of humanity among the pioneers than the Mills family it was good indeed,—G. W. Burton in the L o | Angeles Times. VICTIMS OF WHITE PLAGUE Long List of Great Men of the World Whose Lives Were Cut Short by Tuberculosis.

The following are some of the great men and women of letters mentioned by Dr. Jaconson who have died from -fuberculosls: John Milton, John Locke, Alexander Pope, Dr. Samuel Johnson, Sir Walter Scott. Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Goethe, Robert Louia Stevenson, Sidney Lanier, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Voltaire, John Ruskin, Charles Kingsley r Immanuel Kant, Rousseau, B. P. Roe, and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. Among other great men who are reported to have died of tuberculosis may be mentioned Raphael, von Weber, Chopin, Nevln, Calvin, Cicero and Cecil Rhodes. SOLDIER'S BOOTS SAVED HIM How a Member of a Wagon Trains Made a Thdlllng Escape From a Band of Savage Indians. At Fort Kearney, before our train started up the Platte river for Fort, Laramie in the summer of 1867, each driver that needed boots drew a pair from the government store. When; Peter SmaU's (a little fellow) turn, came to select his boots all the smaller sizes had been drawn, and the near-' est hia fit was a pair two sizes too big for him, but he concluded to take them, as he was about barefooted, ancL no chance to get any more till we got, through. Our train consisted of seven wagons* loaded with supplies for the post, six mules to the team, and we were escorted by ten soldiers to protect us against possible attacks by Indians, writes Freeman 0. Cary of Hamilton, Wash., in the National Tribune. Each, Noticed Any? "They say that fellow is a fiend for work. He's a regular humandynamo.* "Yes, I know. H o w e v e r / i s e e lot of those human dynamos at ball park these days." They Were Gaining on Him Rapidly., driver was furnished an army rifle and ammunition by the government. We had been out a week, when oneafternoon about four o'clock we camped on a small stream called Sand creek. Up to that day we had seen no signs of Indians, so Pete, as we called him, concluded to go out on the high prairie and see if he, could kill an antelope and have some fresh meat He took his old Enfield rifle and a few cartridges, and struck out north across the creek. He had gone about half a mile when he noticed over on another ridge, about half a mile away, what at first he took to be a drove of antelopes, but on looking closer he saw they were in Indians—ten of them. They were dismounted and stood behind their ponies, and their heads only appearing above their backs. As soon as he had made sure that they were Indians he turned and started for camp. When the Indians saw that their decoy to draw him nearer to them failed, they sprang upon their ponies and came pell-mell after him. It was a race for life, with the odds against him. They were gaining on him rapidly with their fleet-footed ponies, and he saw that -they would soon overtake him unless he could devise some way to hold them in check. He thought as he ran along with his leaded gun that it would not do to shoot at them, however tempting the mark, for the instant his rifle was discharged they would pounce upon him, and his scalp would be hanging to one of their belts in no time. So he watched over his shoulder, and when they got near enough to begin shooting at him with their arrows (they had no guns) he stopped, turned and leveled -his rifle as if to pick one off, and they instantly checked their steeds and hung over on the opposite side of their ponies; then Pete whirled around and ron for dear life again, and before the Indians could get their ponies up to full speed he had gained a little on them, and when they closed up agoin he repeated the tactics. When he reached the creek opposite the camp, where water was about 14 feet wide and a foot deep, underlaid with treacherous quicksand, Pete hesitated not a moment, but gathered a l l the strength that was in him and leaped as far towards the other bank as he could. He struck about four feet from the farther shore, and sank to his waist in water and quicksand/ The Indians rushed- up and commenced to shoot at him. One arrow struck his hat and knocked it off. # He twisted around and raised his rifle as it to shoot, and the Indians dodged behind their ponies. Then Pete, with an energy born ot despair, wiggled his feet^out of his big government boots and jumped ashore and ran bareheaded and barefooted into camp, shouting "Indians." • r t The warning came too late. The 'Sioux galloped \down below, crossed the creek and rushed in between our mole herd and camp, yelling like demons. They drove off the whole l o t The herder had a close call, being cut off, too, but his fleet herding pony saved him. We had to lie there two weeks until another outfit cpuld he sent us from the fort, ~ w '.''Si' {Copyright, by W- a . Chapman.) The man stood upon the weir-bridge watching me, a conspicuous man with; strange clothes for xiverwork upon him, and a haunting activity which drove him from the lock to the inn, and again from tbe inn to the lock with a crazy restlessness which was maddening. I had been- for some hours whipping the mill-stream, which / l i e s over against the lockhouse at Pangbourne; but meeting with no success amongst the chub, which on this particular July evening were aggravatingly indifferent even to the succulent frog, I had punted to the bushes in the open river; and there lit my pipe and fell to speculation upon him who favored me with so' close an attention. I have said that he was a conspicuous man, and to this I owed it that I had seep him. He wore the straw hat of Jesus college, Cambridge, and a velvet coat which shone brown and greasy in the falling sunlight; but his legs were encased in salmonpink riding breeches, and he had brown boots! reaching to his knees. I sat there, i n turn wondering if he were honest or a rogue, an adventurer or an idler, a river-man'or a fop from Piccadilly. And as the problem was beyond me, I left it at last ;and taking up my punt-pole 1 gave three or four vigorous thrusts which sent me immediately to the landing-stage of the Swan Inn, and thence to my room. I could hear by no means inharmonious music floating out over the water from a girl's guitar; there were several launches waiting for the lock-gates; and I recall well the face of a very remarkable woman, who presently came to the landing-stage in a gig, the cushions of which were of an aggressive yellow, but one which was a striking contrast to her black hair and ivory-white skin. Quite apart, however, from her indisputable beauty. I had reason to watch this conspicuous oarswoman, for no sooner had she come to the landing-stage than the man in the velvet coat went to her assistance, and taking a number of bags and baskets from the boat, accompanied her up the village high street, and so carried her from my view. Here then, thought I, is the end of my mystery. Thejman had been waiting for the return of his wife, when T, •with preposterous,conceit, plumed myt self that he had been looking to speak with me. One dines up river, as most people know, in semi-public state. Loafers, loiterers, fruit-sellers, boatmen—all these congregate near the open window, and discuss verbally the dishes which the diner discusses more substantially. Custom so stales us that this publicity in no way interferes with our pleasure. I forgot the ridiculous romance of the velvet-coated man, and even his existence, until of a sudden he presented himself, no longer watching me upon the bridge, but standing at the casement, and asking to be admitted. "I'm most horribly sorry,'* said he, "to intrude upon you at your dinner, but my train leaves for town in ten minutes, and I particulary want your opinion upon something which they tell me you know more about than any man in England." "By all means," said I. "But your estimate of my opinion is hopelessly flattering; it concerns jewels, I suppose V "Exactly," said he; 'and I shell be under very large obligations to you if you will tell me whether two emeralds I have in my pocket are of any value, and if .so, where would be the best place to dispose of them?" He took a little paper box from his coat, and laid it near to my plate. I saw that it was a box which had contained tabloids of nitro-glyeerine (a drug prescribed for disease of the heart); and dthat it bad been sold by a chemist of the name of Benjamin Wain, whose shop was in the High street at Reading. These things I observed with my intuitive habit of grasping detail, Jearnt in long contention with rogues; and then forgot them as the man opened a screw of tissue paper, and I beheld two of the finest emeralds I have seen during my career. "Well," said he, after a pause, "do you find much the matter with them?" "I should want my glass to see," said I with caution; "the light is failing, and my eyes are not as good as they were." "You1 mean a magnifying glass, I suppose?" said he, producing a lens from his pocket. "Well, I happen to have one." Why it was I cannot tell you, but this trifling circumstances I marked down in my mind as'my first sound cause of suspicion against him. "They are fine stuff," said I; "do you happen to know where they come from?" >'I believe they come from Salzburg," he stammered; "at least I have heard so." "That could not possibly, be," said I; K the worst emeralds we have are the best product of that mine. 1 fancy they are ffrom Venezuela " "Ah, that's the; place," said he, "I remember i t now; but I've a wretched head for geography. it While he said this the train to London steamed out of the railway station, which is not a stone's throw from the inn, and he, forgetful of his tale to me, sat watching it unconcernedly. 1 .had discovered him i n S ^ second lie, and a waited to entrap him to a third with the practised pleasure of a cross-examiner. "Do you sell these stones for yourself or as an agent?" I asked, assuming some authority as I felt surer of him. His hesitation in answering was merely,momentary, but it was enough for my purpose. "For myself," said, he; and then with clumsy maladroitness he added, "They were left to me by my father, and 1 have never had the heart to offer them to any one. I'll tell you jwhat, though; if you'll give me a thousand pounds for tbe pair, you shall keep them." "That's a long price/ said I; "and if you don't mind the suggestion, my dinner's getting cold.' I had spoken thus with the design of putting him off; but he was undisguisedly an ill-bred man, and I saw that I could hawe bought the emeralds from him for five hundred pounds. "Come, now," he cried, "you don't want to be hard upon me; give me a check for five hundred and send the balance to Brighton in a week i f you find them as good as you,think. That's a fair offer, Isn't it?" "The offer is "fair enough," said I; "but you forget that I did not come here to buy emeralds. I am in Pangbourne to catch chub, as you saw this afternoon." "I'm afraid 1 can't agree to that,7' he replied with a laugh; "I did not see you catch chub this afternoon—I saw you miss three." "The bait is poor,"' I said meaningly; "fish are as canny as men, and don't take pretty things if they think there's a hook in them." This I gave him with such a stare that he rose up suddenly from his chair, and, having made a bungling parcel of his jewels, went off by himself. He had to pass my window as he left the inn, and as he crossed the road I called after him, saying— "You'll be losing your train to London." "Be d d to that!" said he; and with such a salute he turned the angle of the road, and I lost sight of him. But I thought much of his emeralds through the night, both in my walk across the old wooden bridge to Whitchurch, when the river lay dark and gloomy with the sough -of the breeze in the reeds and sedge-grass; and again as I lay in the old wooden "bestbed" of the inn. On the next day, quite early in the morning, I set out in a dogcart for Reading, having a rendezvous with Barisbroke at the Kennet's mouth, whence we were to start for a day's sport upon that fish-breeding river. ily (drive took me by the old Bathroad, turning to the left midway up the village street; but I had not gone very far upon the Reading road before I saw the handsome woman— the wife, as I assumed, of the velvetcoated man—now dressed with exceeding poorness, and carrying a heavy bag towards the biscuit town. It occurred to me, as I drove on, that the man, who had been with her on the previous day, had really left by the last train for London; but when I came into Reading, and was about to cross the High street, to reach Earleigh, I saw the name Benjamin Wain superscribed above a little chemist's shop, and I stopped, at once. I know that .a country tradesman will gossip like a fishwife; and I asked the man sfior some preparation which he could not possibly find in the pharmacopoeia, and so began to feel my ground. "You're well ahead of the times here/' said I, looking at his- showcase, which was woefully destitute of drugs. "I shouldn't have thought that you'd be asked for tabloids in a place like Reading." "Oh, but we are," said he, readily; "it's a wonderfully advanced town is heading—you won't get much in Regent street which is not here. I've lived in Reading all my life—and seen changes, sir, indeed I have!" "You know'most of the people then?" said I, with a purpose. "Ay," said he, "I've born and buried a many, so to speak; seen children grow to men and women, and men and women grow to children—you wouldn't think it perhaps!" and he hasn't got yellow hair—ha, ha, he hasn't got any at all." "Who Is her* I asked with growing curiosity. "Why, old Jabez Ladd, the miser, out at Yore park; he takes that stuff for his heart, sir. Wonderful weak heart he has, too;_ but he hasn't got yellow hair—no, I may say with conviction that he has.no hair at aU." I had learnt all I needed, for the, mere mention of the name Jabez Ladd was sufficient for me.^Atrthe tt&h's words a whole freshet of ldea4^cemed to rush to nay mind; The yellow-haired man had got his emeralds In a box. which must have come from Ladd's house, since he alone in the neighborhood took tabloids of nitro-glycorlne; another, the man's very shabiness and obvious shuffling pointed very strongly to the conclusion tnat he* should be watched. Of these things was I sure as I met Barisbroke, and I turned them over in my mind often during the moderate sport of the forenoon. I resolved at least to see the .old man; and when I had dined at a ridiculously early hour with Barisbroke, I crossed the river by the white bridge, and in thirty minutes I was at the gate of Yore Hall. I rang the great bell thrice, and birds fled from the eaves at the clatter, and the rabbits that had sported by the thicket disappeared in the warren. Some minutes after the third ring, and when I was preparing to drive off and leave Jabez Ladd, to his own affairs, the stable door opened, and a girl came out, dressed, it seemed to me, curiously in a smart white frock; but with untidy hair, though much of it; and an exceedingly pretty face, which had been the prettier for a little scouring. The creature had great dark eyes like a grisette of Bordeaux; and when she saw me, stood swaying upon her feet, and laughing as she bit at her apron-strings, as though my advent was an exceedingly humorous thing. Then she said,— "is it Mr. Ladd you're wanting?" I told her that it was. "You'll not be a county man?" she asked. "I'm from London,"' said I, "and my name is Bernard Sutton. Tell Mr. Ladd that I'll not keep him five minutes." 'There's no need," said she, simpering again; "he's been a-bed since the milk." "In bed!" cried I amazed, * "Yes," &aid she, "it's over late for company; but if ye'U write something I'll run up with it; the housekeeper's away sick." , She seemed to think that all this was a good joke, and wondered, doubt not, that I did not simper at her again. 1 was on the very point of whipping up the nag, and leaving such a cur ius household, when one of the landing windows went up with a creak, and Ladd himself, with a muf fler Tound his throat, was visible. "What d'ye want in ray grounds?" he roared. "Here, you hussy, what are ye chattering there for?—thought I was asleep did ye—ha!" "Good evening, Mr. Ladd," said quietly; "I'm sorry, but I Appear to have disturbed you.' I've a word for your ear if you'll come down." "Hullo;" cried he, in his cracked and piercing voice; "why it's you, is it? egad, I thought you were the butcher! What's your business?—I'm biding in bed, as you can see." "I can't shout," said I, "and my business is private." "Won't it wait?" he snarled. "You haven't come to sell me anything?" "I don't sell stuff in the street," said I. "come down and I'll talk to you. But if you don't want to hear—well, go to bed." His curiosity got the better of him at this poin^.and he snapped out the words, "I'm coming down,'' and then disappeared from the window. But he had no intention of opening the front door, as I found presently when of a sudden he appeared art a casement upon the ground floor, and resumed the conversation. "You're not asking after my health," said he, "but f 11 let you know that I'm •eat up with cold; can ye have done with it straight off?" • "Yes," said I, leaning over from the dog-cart to spare my voice. "Do you know a- tall man with yellow hair who's got two emeralds to sell?" At these words his face whitened fa the sunlight and he opened his great mouth to speak, but no sound came. Then quickly he drew a small box from his pocket, such as I had seen In the hands of the velvet-coated man, and took a tabloid from It T U be about letting you i t C said he, as he went to shut down the casement. But I said, "I - think not, there's a drive of five miles to Whitchurch before mc, and this horse trips." "For the love of God," cried he, suddenly putting off all self-restraint, "don't go till I've heard you—man, my life may depend upon i t ! " "How's that?" said L "I'm going to tell you," said he; "and if ye'U stay we'll crack a bottle of port together." -He whetted my curiosity now, and presently I heard him nagging at the "No," said I, "youVdon't show It; pretty girl who had first greeted me. bdt your reputation, if I may say soArktter that he threw the stable door goes beyond this place. I was in Pangbourne yesterday, where a tall, yellow-haired man was speaking of you; who is he, I wonder?" " A - i a l l , yellow-haired man!" he exclaimed, putting his finger in the center of his forehead as if in aid of memory; "I didn't know there were such in Reading. A tall, yellow—lot me see, now -" . "You sold him some tabloid of nitro-glycerine; perhaps that will help to his identification ?" said 1. "Ah, now I know you're wrong," said he; /'there's only one man within wide open, and dressed only, as I could see, in a loose dressing-gown and a pair of carpet slippers, he led the.horse to a stall that had the half of a roof; crying to the rriaid to get her down to the house of a man he named, there to beg a feed of corn and the loan of a boy. But while he was doing it, he shivered incessantly, and seemed eaten up with fear. "You/ appear to think that I'm luting up'with you," said h when I heard his orders; "there's na need to look after the nag— I shan't be here ten minutes" five miles of here who uses that stuff V '4ii«& tea__minutes!" he exclaimed, still with quavering voice, "Oh, but you will—when you've heard my talk. Would you see me murdered?" J did not answer, being In the main amused at his attempts to get the horse out of the trap, and particularly to unbuckle the very stiff belly-band. The girl had gone tripping off with herself to the village as I thought; but though at that time I had no intention of staying beyond an hour with him, I unebafted the animal myself, and tethered the beast to the rickety manger, throwing my own rug across his loins; then I followed Ladd through a black and smoke-washed kitchen to a dingy apartment near the hall, and, the place being shuttered, he kindled a common paraftln lamp, which might have cost a shilling but would have been dear at two. "I'll be getting the port," said he, casting a wistful glance at me hoping, perhaps, that I should decline his invitation to a glass, "you'll not mind refreshment after your drive?" "Thanks; you may be sure I won't," said I. When Ladd came back, he had a bottle in his hand. I smiled openly when I saw that it was a pint; but he decanted it with a fine' show of generosity, and pushing a glass to me, took up the matter which interested him at once. "Where did ye see my nephew?" he asked, while I sipped the wine with satisfaction; "it'll ^have been in London, perhaps?" "I saw him—if he was your nephew —at Pangbourne last night," said I; "he had a pretty woman with him, and wanted to sell me two emeralds." "That must have been the wife he married in San Francisco," cried he, "but she has no sinecure; you didn't hear that I paid his passage abroad last spring after he'd robbed me of a thousand Well and it was,emeralds he wanted to sell you?" ~ "Two of the finest I have ever seen," said I, "and matching perfectly." The import of the emeralds had evidently been lost upon him until this time; but now "of a sudden he realized that he might be concerned in the business, and his agitation was renewed. "I wonder what emeralds they were?" he asked as if of himself; then turning to me, he exclaimed, "Will you come upstairs with me a minute?" He did not wait for me to answer, but led the way up bare stone steps to a landing off which there led two passages; and in a big and not uncomfortable bedroom he showed me three safes, one a little one, which he opened, and took therefrom a case containing seven emeralds of a size and quality apparently similar to the two I had seen at Pangbourne. But when he gave them to me to f a m i n e I saw at once that five of them were genuine and two were false. "Well," said he, after I had looked at'them long and closely, "how do you lfke them?" "I like them enough," said I; "at least, I like five of them, but the other two are glass!" At this he cried, "Oh, my God!" and clutched the stones from me with the trembling fingers of a madman. When he had seen them for himself— being judge enough to follow me in my conclusions—he began to roar out oaths and complaints most pitifully, cursing his nephew as I have never heard a man cursed before or since. By and by he got. sufficient reason to tell me thatshe had the administration of some of his nephew's property, and that in his work he had first fallen foul of a man, headstrong, vindictive, by no means honest, and, in some moods, dangerous. Yet, even knowing his relative's character and the threats he had urged against him, he could not tell how the safe was broken, or by what means the emeralds had gone. He was not even aware that his nephew wras in England; and I had been the first to bring intelligence of his coming. I asked him, naturally, if these two stones represented the whole of his loss, and at that he fell off again to his raving, but took two keys of tfie larger safes from a secret drawer in the smaller as I could see; and began to pour upon the faded bed-cover a wealth of treasure which might have bought a' city. In the midst of this, strange scene, and while we were both held spellbound by the wondrous vision of wealth, a sudden exclamation drew the miser from his employment. It came from the girl who, had been sent to the village, she ndw standing in the doorway of the bedroom, and cry ing, "Oh, good Lord!" as she saw the glitter of the gems. But Ladd turned "upon her at the words, and grasped her by the wrists, crying out as he had cried when first he knew that he was robbed. "You hussy," he hissed, bending her by the arms backward almost to tho floor; "what do you watch me for? What do you mean by coming here? Where are- the emeralds you have stolen? Tell me, wench; do you hear? Tell me*, or I shall hurt you!" He held her In 6o firm a grasp that I feared she would suffocate, and went to pull him oTf; at which action he turned to cry out against^ me; but the anger had played upon him so that he fainted suddenly all across the bed, and amongst the jewels. The girl, whom he had forced upon the floor, now rose impudently, and said.— "Did ye ever see the like of him? —but I'll make him pay for it! Oh, you needn't look, he's that way often. He'll come to in a minute; but he won't find me in the house tomorrow —wages or no wages.'.' "Do what you like," I cried to her angrily, "but don't chatter. lHave you got any'brandy in the house?" "Brandy! and for him!" said she, for It? Not if I know it; brandy, I like that!" "Then leave the room" I exclaimed imperatively; and with that she went off, banging the door behind her, and I was alone with the man and his jewels. I think it was the strangest situation 1 have ever known. Some \ thousands of pounds' worth of gems lay scattered upon the coverlet, upon the sheets, and even upon the carpet. Ladd himself lay like the figure upon a tomh» white and motionless; there was only the light of a common paraffin lamp; and three parts of the room lay in darkness. My first thought was for the man's life, and remembering that I had a flask in my pocket, I forced brandy between his clenched teeth, and laid him flat upon his back. In a few moments there was a perceptible, though very quick beat of his pulse, and after that, When he had. taken more of the spirit, he opened his eyes, and endeavored to raise himself; but I forbade him roughly, and gathering up his gems I bundled them in the greater safe, and turned the key upon them. He however, watched me with glazing eyes, scarce being able, for lack of strength, to utter a word; but he motioned for me to give him. .the l^ey, and this he placed under the pillow of his bed, and fell presently into a gentle sleep, which was of good omen. I should mention that it was now full dark outside, and, as I Adjudged, about the hour of ten. I had got the man's jewels'into his safe for him, and he was sleeping; but where the bewitching little, hussy was I did not know; or what -was the value of the old man's fears about his nephew. It was clear to me, however, that he had been robbed, probably by the immediate agency of the girl who acted as his servant; and it was equally obvious that I had no alternative but to stay by him, even if prospect of probable business in the future had not moved me to do so. An inspection of his room by the flickering light of the lamp disclosed to me a small dressing-room leading from it, this containing a sofa ;and when I had quite assured myself that my patient, as I chose to regard him, slept easily, and that his pulse was nolonger intermittent nor faint, I took my boots off and lay down upon the hard horsehair antiquity which was to serve me for a bed. Strange to say, in half an hour I fell into a dreamless sleep, for I was heavy with fatigue, and had walked many hours upon the Kennett's bank; but when I awoke, the room was utterly dark, and the screams of a dying man rang in my ears. In moments of emergency one's individuality asserts itself in curious actions. I am somewhat stolid, and a poor subject for panics, • and I remember on this particular occasion, that my sfirst act. was to draw on my boots with deliberation, and even to turn in the tags carefully before I struck a match, and got a sight of the scene which I remember so well though many months have passed since its happen ing. When 1 had light, I found Ladd standing by the door of his safe, which was open, but there was a deep crimson stain upon his shirt, and /he no longer had the. voice to scream. In fact, he was dying then; and presently he fell prone with a deep gasp, and I knew that he was dead. In the same instant a black shadow, as of a man, passed between me and the flicker of the light; and as the match went, out the door of the chamber swung upon its hinges, and the assassin passed from the room. Now, Ladd had scarce fallen before T was in the dark passage, listening with great tension of the ear for a sound of the hiding man's footstep. But the place was as still as the grave; and then there came upon nv the horrid thought that the fellow lurked with me about the room's door, and presently would serve me as he had served the other. Cold wiih fear at the possibility, I struck a match, and advanced along the passage, using half a box of lucifers in the attempt. At the corner I came suddenly upon a cranny; and as the light died away, two gleaming eyes shot up glances to mine, and a man sprang out flashing a blade in the air, btit rushing past me, and fleeing like the wind towards the southern wing—the unfinished one. So swift did he go that I saw nothing of his face, and it seemed scarce a moment before I heard a door open, and another great cry, followed by a splashing of water and utter silence. This second cry took, I think, what little nerve I had left; and while the echo of it was stiU in the passages my last match went out. The place was now black with unbroken darkness; every step that I took appeared to reach mysterious stairs and to send me staggering; but at last a sudden patch of moonlight from a corner enc^-. raged me to go on, and I reached the spot where the man had disappeared. At that pofnt a door creaked and banged upon i,ts hinges, but the white light coming through it saved me from' the fate of him who had gone before. It showed me at a glance that the door was built in a side of the unfinished wall of the wing, and that tho man, who evidently had mistaken it for the entrance to the back staircase, which I saw a few feet farther on, had crashed down 50 feet into the moat below, carrying, as I supposed, his plunder in his hands. Then I knew the meaning of the gurgling cry and the horrid thud; and terror seemed to strike me to my very marrow. How I got out of the house I do not know to this day. Thrice 1 made a circuit of winding corridors only to find myself again before the room where L a d d V b o d y lay in the circle, arranglng her dress which he had o—f m. . .o™on„l.ight which the window fo- 0 . . . „ . . . v - , . ^ * , ^ torn. "Is it me that should be running I cused upon the safe; thrice I reached doors which seemed to give access t o the yard; but led only into gloomy shuttered chambers where curious shapes of the yellow rays came through the. dusty crevices. A t last, however, I reached the frowsy kitchen, and the yard, and stood a minute to breathe the chill night air, and to think what was to be done; whither first to go; to whom to appeal. The whine of a voice from the stable seemed to answer me. I entered the* roofless shanty, and there found the dark-eyed girl sitting upon a rotting garden roller, and quivering in every limb. She too was dressed ready to accompany the man who then lay i n the moat, I did not doubt; but at the first sight of me she started up with blanched face, and clinging to me she cried,—"Take me away, oh, my God, take me away from i t ! " and rather incoherently she muttered that she was innocent, and protested it in a score of phrases. I saw a flush of dawn-light upon her babyish face as she spoke, and it occurred to me when I was putting the horse to the dog-cart that she was unmistakably pretty, and that her customary occupation was not that of a housemaid. But I only said to her,— "Keep anything you have to say for the police. I am going to fetch them." And with that I drove off, and the last I saw of my lady showed her as she sat moaning on the strawy her hair tumbling down her shoulders, and her face buried in her hands. her rethe and The trial of this woman, and acquittal by the jury, are well membered in Caversham; nor is mystery of Jabez Ladd's jewels their disappearance by any means an infrequent topic for alehouses. What became of the precious stones which Arthur Vernon Ladd, the old man's nephew, took from the safe on the night he murdered his uncle, one man alone knows—and that is myself. The people of the town will tell you/that the moat wras dragged and d/ained with no results. I myself body of the murderer— coated man of Pangbourn though at least a couple pounds worth of jewels w from the safe, there was them about him, or to b the velvetbut althousand missing not one of found upon the concrete bottom of the moat into which he had dropped with the blood of Ladd fresh upon his hands. In vain the police searched the girl—her name was Rachel Peters, she said— and her boxes. j The jewels being undiscoverable, and Ladd having been murdered to my knowledge by his nephew, the girl, Rachel Peters, was, as I have said, discharged. She returned to the old house lor her boxes, and immediately disappeared from the knowledge of the county. Ten months later I saw her dancing on the stage of an opera house in Florida, and she was wearing five of the seven emeralds which Ladd had lost! The spectacle seemed so amazing to me that I sought her out between the acts, and found her aa full of chic and verve as a Parisian soubrette. Nor did she disguise anything from me, telling me everything over a cigarette with a relish and a sparkle which was astounding to see. "Yes," said she—but I give her story in plain words, for her way of tolling it is not to be written down— "I had known Vernon Ladd for years. T doubt if there was a worse man in Europe; but I was frightened of him, and I entered old Ladd's service at his wish tp help him to steal the jewels. We got at the emeralds first, because they were in the small safe; but we didn't know where the keys of The other safe were, and we put two sham emeralds in the case to keep the oh! boy quiet while we worked. That night you came to the house Vernon Ladd was already inside, concealed behind the old man's bed; and he watched you open the great safe and spread the jewels. The mischief of it was that Ladd woke up five minutes too soon, and caught the boy by tbe throat—you know what he got for that, for you saw it and you know how Vernon mistook the door, and went down in a hurry. Well, when you'd gone for the police, I ran round to the back of the house, and what should I see but the bag of jewels stuck on a ledge just under the landing window. He'd dropped them as he fell, and there they were lying so plain that one could have seen them a mile off. 1 just ran up and reached them with my arm, but when I was in the stable again, and thinking of hiding them, I heard you coming up the road, and I slipped the bag in the first thins handy—it was your own fishing creel. v "No, you never found them, did you? just because they were hanging up there plain for every one to see. When the judge discharged me at the court, I went again to tbe house to get my box, never thinking to see the stones; but you'd gone away without the creel, and it was the first thing I touched lying in the straw of the stable. You may be, -sure it didn't lie there long. I'd saved up enough t^oney for a passage *o the States, and when I got here I started as an actress, as I was before, and I sold the things, one by one. These emeralds are all that's left—and if you're a brick, you'll buy them." This was the story. She was a clever woman, and having been discharged on the accusation of robbing the dead miser Ladd, could n W be sent to her trial again. Her invitation for me to buy the emeralds was tempting. I had already purchased two* from the -unfcapftr lft<*rtof Pangbourne, who was marrled^to the velvet- coated Vernon Ladd, and4s now living in seclusion in Devonshire. The other five would have made the set of great value. Ladd had no heirs; it was altogether a nice ptftet X debated i t B a k e D a y C o m e s SYNOPSIS. The scene at tho opening of the story is laid tn the library of an old worn-out southern plantation, known as the Barony. Th«T p!ace Is tb 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 of the boy, Yancy to keep Hannibal. Captain Murrell, a friend of the -Quintards, appeals and asks questions about the Barony. Trouble at Scratch Hill, when Hannibal is kidnaped by Dave Blount, Captain Murrell's agent. Yancy overtakes Blount, gives him a thrashing and secures |he boy. Yancy appears before Squire Balaam, and is discharged with costs for the plaintiff. Betty Malroy, a friend of the Ferrlses, has an encounter with Captain Murrell, who forces his attentions on her, and is rescued by Bruce Carrlngton. Betty sets out for her Tennessee home. Carriginton takes the same stage. Yancy <and Hannibal disappear, with Murrell on their trail. As he recovered himself he was sure he. heard a door open and close, and threw himself prone on the ground, where the black shadow cast by the tavern hid him. At the same moment two dark figures came from about a corner of the building. He could just distinguish that they carried some heavy burden between them and that they staggered as they moved. They passed out of sight, and breathless and palsied, Hannibal crept that plied regularly between Washington and Georgetown, she had found the long board;platform beside the canal crowded With her itellow passengers. SuddenLy she became aware of a tall/familiar figure moving through the crowd. It was Bruce Carrlngton. At the same moment he saw her, and with a casual air that quite deceived her, approached. "You're leaving tonight?" he asked. "Yes—isn't it miserable the way it rains? And why are they so s l o w - about a corner of the tavern. He | why don't they hurry with that boat?" •• C H A P T E R VI. (Continued.) In the tavern the three men were drinking—Murrell with the Idea that the more Yancy came under the influence of Slosson's corn whisky the easier his speculation would be managed. Mr. Yancy on hia part believed that if Murrell went to bed reasonably^ drunk h,e would sleep late and ^lve him the opportunity he coveted, to quit the tavern unobserved at 'break of day. "When yo' get to feelln' like sleep, young boss, Mas'r Slosson he sayB 1 show yo' to yo' chamber." it was Slosson's boy Eph. "Yes, you can show me my cham- 'Jter," Hannibal said. Eph secured a tin candle-stick with a half-burnt candle in it and led the way Into the passage back of the bar. They mounted a flight of stairs and passed down a n a r r o W h a l l . This , brought them to the bSck of the building, and Eph pushed open the * door on his right. "This heah's yo' chamber," he said, and preceding his companion into the room, placed the candle on a chair. The moon was rising and Hannibal went to the open window and glanced <put. For a moment he considered the «lght, not unaffected by Its beauty, then, turning from the window, he moved his bundle and rifle to the i loot of the bed, where they would be \ out Ot his way, kicked off his trousers, blew out the candle and lay down. \ Yancy had become more and more ^convinced as tne evening passed that ^Murrell was bent-oif" getting him tijrunk, and, suspicion mounted darkly ip his brain. v t ' 4 H a y e a drink with rae!" cried Slos- *on, giving way to drunken laughter. "The captain's dropped out, and 1 'low it's about time fo' these here -festivities to come to an end. I'm thinking supine of going to bed myself," said Yancy. He kept his eyes fixed on Murrell. He realized that if the latter could prevent it he was .not to leave the har* He, never shifted his glance from Murrell's face. >SccWling now, the captain's eyes blazed back their challenge as he -"thrust his right hand under his coat. "Fair play—I don't know who you .are, but I know what you want!" said Yancy, the light in his frank gray ieyes deepening. Murrell laughed and took a forward step. At the same moment Slosson snatched up a heavy club from the back of the bar and dealt Yancy a murderous blow. A single startled cry escaped the Scratch Hiller; he struck out wildly •as he lurched toward * IjtfurreH,. who . drew hia knife and drove it into" his shoulder, tancy dropped heavily to the floor.

Presently he heard a distant sound —a splash—surely it was a splash— A lltUe later the men came up the lade, to disappear in the direction of the tavern. Hannibal peered after them. His very terrors, while they wrenched and tortured him, gave him adesperate kjnd ^of courage. As the gioojST hid the""Typo men, he started forward again. He reached the end of the cornfield, climbed a fence, and entered a deadening of timber. In the long wet grass he found where the men had dragged their burden. He reached down and swept his hand to and fro—once—twice—the third time his little palm came away red and discolored. There was the first pale premonition of dawn in the sky, and as he hurried on the light grew, and tho black trunks of trees detached themselves from the white mist that ijlled the woods and which the dawn made visible. There was light enough for him to see that he was following the trail left by the men. He emerged upon the bank of the Elk river, white like the woodB with its ghostly night sweat. The dull beat of the child's heart quickened a,s he gazed out on the swift current that was hurrying on with its dreadful secret. Then the full comprehension of his loss seemed to overwhelm him and he was utterly desolate. Sobs shook him, and he dropped on his knees, holding fast to the stock of his rifle. "Uncle Bob—Uncle Bob, come back! Can't you come back!" he wailed miserably. Presently he staggered to his feet. As he glanced about, ho saw almost at his feet a dug-out, made from a single poplar log. It was secured to an overhanging branch by a length of a wild grape-vine. With one last fearful look off across the deadening in the direction of the tavern, he crept down to the water's edge and entered the canoe. In a moment, he had it free from Its lashing and the rude craft was bumping along the bank in spite of his best efforts with the paddle. Then a favoring current caught It and swept it out toward the center of the stream. C H A P T E R VII. "It's in the last lock now," explained Carrlngton, and gathering up Betty's hand luggage, he helped her aboard. By the time they had reached Wheeling, Betty had quite parted with whatever superficial prejudice she might have had concerning river-men. /This particular ene was evidently a very nice river-man, an exception to his kind. He made choice of the steamer on which she should continue her Journey, and thoughtfully chose The Naiad—a slow boat. "I haven't a thing to offer her—this is plain madness of mine!" he kept telling himself, and then the expression of his face would become grim and determined. No more of the river for him—he'd get hold of some land and go to raising cotton; that was the way money was made. Slow as The Naiad was, the days passed much -too swiftly for him. When Memphis was reached t*heir friendly intercourse would come to an end. There would be her brother, of whom she had occasionally spoken— he would be pretty certain to have tho ideas of his class. The days, like any other days, dwindled. The end of it all was close at hand. Another twenty-four hours and Carrlngton reflected there would only be good-by to say. "We will reach New Madrid tonight," he told her. They were watching the river, under a liood of yellow moonlight. Carrlngton, with his back against a stanchion, watched her discontentedly. "You'll be mighty glad to have this over with, Miss Malroy—" he said at length, with a comprehensive sweep toward the river. "Yes—shan't you?" and she opened her eyes questlonlngly. "No," said Carrlngton with a short laugh, drawing a chair near hers and sitting down. Betty, in surprise, gave him a quick look, and then as quickly glanced away from what she encountered in his eyes. As she looked, suddenly pale points of light appeared on a distant headland. "Is that New Madrid—Oh, is it, Mr. Carrlngton?" she cried eagerly. "I reckon so," but ho did not alter his position. "But you're not looking!" "Yes, 1 am—I'm looking at you. 1 j reckon you'll think me- crazy, Miss On the River. Betty stood under a dripping urn brella in the midst of a downpour. Just arrived by the four-horse coach' Malroy—presumptuous and all^Jiat— but I wish Memphis could be wiped off the map, and that we could go on like this for ever!" "You mustn't talk so—I am nothing to you—" "Yes, you are. You're everything to me," said Carrlngton doggedly. "You shall love me—" She was powerless In his embrace. She felt his breath on her cheek, then he kissed her. Suddenly his arms fell at his side; his face was white. "I was a ^bruto to. do that—Betty, forgive me! I am sorry—no, I can't be sorry!" They,were.alongside the New Madrid wharf now, and a certain young man who had been impatiently watching The Naiad's lights ever since they became visible crossed the gang-plank with a bound. "Betty—why in the name of goodness did you ever choose this tub?" said the new-comer. "Charley!" Carrlngton stepped back. This must be the brother who had come up the river fjpm Memphis to meet her —but her mother's name was Tom! He looked this stranger—this Charley —over writh a hostile eye, offended by his good looks, his confident manner, in which he thought he detected an air of ownership, as If—certainly he was holding her hands longer than was necessary. An instant later, when Betty, remembering, turned to speak to him, his place by the rail was deserted. * « * * * • • * All that day Hannibal wa<s haunted by the memory of what he had heard and seen at Slosson's tavern. More than this, there was his terrible sense, of loss, and the grief he could not master. Marking the course of the road westward, he clung to the woods, .where his movements were as stealthy as the very shadows themselves. Presently, as he stumbled forward, he came to a small clearing In th< center of which stood a log dwelling. The place seemed deserted. Tilted back in a chair by the door of this house a man was sleeping. The hoot of an owl from a near-by oak roused him. He yawned and stretched himself, thrusting out his fat legs and extending his great arms. Then becoming aware of that path as he slept and now stood before him in the uncertain light, he fell to rubbing his eyes with the small figure which had stolen up the knuckles of his plump hands. "Who are you?" he demanded. "I'm Hannibal Wayne Hazard," said the boy. The man quitted his chair. "Well—I am glad to know you, Hannibal Wayne Hazard. 1 am Slocum Price—Judge Slocum Price, sometime major-general of militia and ex-member of congress, to mention a few of those honors my fellow countrymen have thrust upon me." He made a sweeping gesture with his two hands outspread and bowed ponderously. The boy saw a man of sixty, whose gross and battered visage told its own story. There was a sparse white frost about his ears; and his eyes, pale blue and prominent, looked^ut from under beetling brows. He wore a shabby plum-colored coat and tight, drab breeches. About his fat neck was a black stock, with, just a suggestion of soiled linen showing above it. His figure was corpulent and unwieldy. "You don't belong in these parts, do you?" asked the judge, when he had completed his scrutiny. "No, sir," answered the bo>y. He glanced off down the road, where lights were visible among tlxe trees. "What town is that?" "Pleasantvllle—wfcicfc is. a lier-but I am neither sufficiently drank nor sufficiently sober to cope* wrtb the possibilities your question offers. Have you so much as fifty cents about you?" and the Judge's eyes narrowed to a slit above their folds of puffy flesh. Hannibal, keeping his glance fixed on the man's face, fell back a step. "I can/t let you go If you are penniless—I can't do that?" cried the judge, with sudden vehemence. "You jshall be my guest for the night. They're a pack of thieves at the tav-' era," he lowered his voice. "1 know 'em, for they're plucked me!" He \ rested a fat hand on the bof's shoulder and drew him gently but firmly into the shanty. With flint and steel he made a light, and presently a candle was sputtering tn his hands. He fitted it into the neck of a tan bottle, and as the light flared up tho boy glanced about him. The> interior was mean enough, f with its rough walls, dirt floor and black, cavernous fireplace. A shakedown bed in one corner of the room was tastefully screened from the public gate by a tattered quilt.

Following is the last of the nominating resolutions: "We, delegates and alternates to the Republican national convention, representing a clear majority of fhe delegates and alternates legally elected to the convention, in meeting assembled, make the following declaration: •% |i "We^were e^ctedVbyJ a majority of the. Republican, votfo Of our respective? districts and states to nominate Theodore Roosevelt in the Republican national convention as the candidate of our party for president and thereby carry out the will of the voters as expressed at the primaries. We have earnestly and conscientiously striven to execute the commission entrusted to us by the party voters. "For five da£s we have been denied justice in the national convention. The result has been accomplished by the action of the now defunct national committee in placing upon the preliminary roll of the convention and thereby seating upon the floor of this convention a sufficient number of fraudulently elected delegates to control ^ the proceedings of the conven tibri.s These fraudulent delegates once seated have by concerted action with one another put themselves upon the permanent roll, where they constitute an influence sufficient to control the convention and dsfeat the will of the party as expressed at the primaries. "We haVP- exhausted' every known means to hold off this conspiracy, and to prevent this fraud upon the popular will, but without success. We were sent to this convention bearing the most specific instructions to place Theodore Roosevelt in nomination as the candidate of our party for president, and we, therefore, deem it to be our duty to carry out those instructions in the only practically and feasible way remaining open to us. "Therefore, be it resolved that we representing the majority of the votes of the Republican party, and of the delegates and alternates legally elected to the national Republican convention, in compliance without instructions from the party voters, hereby nominate Theorore Roosevelt as .the candidate of our party for the, office of president of the United States, and we call upon him to accept such nomination in compliance with the will of the party voters. "And, be it further resolved, that a committee be appointed by the chair to forthwith notify Colonel Roosevelt of the action here taken and rer>vest %\m to appear before us in this hall as soon as convenient." Roosevelt Accepts. * Col. Roosevelt, in replying to, the nomination, spoke as follows: Gentlemen: I thank "you for your nomination, and in you I recognize the lawfully elected delegates to the Republican convention who represent the ovewhelming majority of the voters who took part in the Republican primaries prior to the convention, and who represent the wish of the majority of the lawfully elected members of the convention. I accept tisc1 nomination subject to but one condition. "This has now 'become a contest which cannot be settled merely along the old party lines. The principles that are at stake are as broad and as deep as the foundations of our democracy itself. They are in no sense sectional. They should appeal to all honest citizens, east and west, north and south; they should appeal to all right thinking men, whether Republicans or Democrats, without regard to their previous party affiliations. . "I feel that the time has.come when not. only all men who believe in progressive, principles, but all men who believe in those elementary maxims of public and private morality which must underlie every form of sutvsssful free government should join in. one movement, Therefore, I ask you to go to your several homes to find out the sentiment of the people at' home and then again come together, I suggest by mass convention, to nominate for tlje presidency a progressive candidate on a progressive platform, a candidate and a platform that will enable us to appeal to northerner and southerner, easterner and westerner. Republican and Democrat alike, in the name of our common American citizenship. "If you wish me to make the run for president of the United States I will make it, even if only one state should support me. The only condition I impose is that you shall feel entirely free when you come together to substitute any other man in my place if you deem it better for the movement, and in such case I will give him my heartiest support." New T. R. Party Is Launched. Chicago, June 23.- -The Roosevelt third party men who have remained here to discuss the organization of their movement with Col. Roosevelt got to work early this morning. Gov. Hiram Johnson, of .California, who, for the present at least is the colonel's chief lieutenant, was empowered by a mass meeting Of delegates and others to appoint a committee of seven, which is to confer with Col. Roosevelt and prepare a plan and platform to be presented to the bolters' convention. No definite announcement of the plan was made today and the date of the convention is still to be decided. It was rumored that it might be held here in Chicago on Aug. 3 and also that an atfefmpt might be made to call the Roosevelt progressives together at Asbury Park, In general, the plan seems to be to utilize the Roosevelt machine in states that tbe colonel carried at the primaries and in other states to present a complete progressive ticket. In New York, for instance, if the plans talked for are carried out, there will be progressive candidates for governor, congress and other elective offices that may be open when the eontest begins, !ll!i,i!f5«»L,T»»nn»»ittMiuniiiilniii,i,il,,ii»o,1 ; ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED The Democratic national platform builders promise to present to the convention in Baltimore this week a document that shall be short and incisive. The number of "teeth" in it, as one plank holder said, will depend on the outcome of the struggle between the conservative and radical wings of the party. On most of the major points, however, the leaders seem agreed. Some of them say that the differences likely to arise in the committee on resolutions when it considers the platform next week will he matters of language rather than of contents. - If William Jennings Bryan wins his fight to have the keynote of the convention sounded by a progressive chairman, Mr. Bryan probably will be made chairman of the resolutions committee.

J o h n A l l e n C a i w e i l John Allen Cad well, son of Allen and Bath Cadwell, was born ia the town of Waterloo, Michigan, Oct. 13 1850 and en* tared into rest June 23. 1912. He was married in 1870 to Elvinia Wolfer of Waterloo, who has always been a loving, faithful helpmate. To this union were born two sons, Will H . of Stillwater, Minn, and fiael T. who with their mother are left to mourn the loss of a kind, loving father and husband. Mr. Cadwell became a resident of Pinckney in the year 1878, soon entering into partnership with John J . Teeple in the hardware business, which partnership continued for 25 years, mutually pleasant and profitable. This was followed by a partnership of 5 years in the mercantile business with Floyd G . Jackson.' Feeling the need of rest he was impelled to withdraw from business life. During the past two years most oft their time has been spent in Ann Arbor with their son, Buel, a student at the University. With this labor of love completed he was looking eagerly forward to the return home where his many friends gladly awaited to welcome his coming. In 1879 he gave his heart to the Savior and united with the Cong'l church since which time he has been an earnest, consistent, efficient member whose presence will be greasy missed and whose influence will continue to live and be a blessing to the citizens of his loved village. Kind, sympathetic and* devoted to his friends and associates it can truthfully be said "To know him was to love him." He has gone to dwell in the secret place of the most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. The funeral c^rrices were held from the iatejhome here*Wednesday at 2 p. m.

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. 1 Eventually all silo users will recognize the i&qt tbat the stave silo keeps silage perfectly; *m to ov^t^orne the last objection, Ihe fear of the «t&¥o silo blowing down, and to make an even better and stronger silo, we have been eagerly searching for new ideas. Many i u f years ago we developed the Saginaw Al* 1 ~ Steel Door Frame* adding convenience, I* solidity and great strength to the entire I structure* I ^ T f f e same enterprise, together with keen fore- L-sight, developed in 1911, the CO 4 Saginaw Inner Anchoring Hoop Licensed under lone of the great successes in modern silo construction. ' And »ow» 1912-with mil weaderin« what possibly CrOuld be added to the Saginaw Silo, our engineering Harder Patent No. 627732 department ha* created and proved through exhaustive tests, a device wonderfully offootivo aad remarkably simple in design and construction, and like all great inventions, I f sa wonder it wasn't thought of before."
