I thought every minute tbe ship would go uptide down. It was irapossille to stick to the berth. Nearly all the passengers were terribly sick. I was not sick, but thought some ot my past deeds and future prospects. After leaving 'Frisco we did not get sight of land until Nov. 7 when we passed some of the Ladrone Islands. There we saw four volcanoes, one of which we were quite close to. On Sunday morning Nov 10 when I got up we were in sight of the north coast ol Luzon and got a good view of the city of Aparri, a place of 100,- 000 inhabitants. We did not lose sight of land again. We sailed along the west coast through the China sea until we entered Manila Bay. About 10 o'clock .uonday night we anchored in the bay, three mires out of Manila, On Monday morning tbe health officers came on and examined and vaccinated us all before we could land.

Then, too, although she had never met Mr. Van Dyke, he was the one person in the world whom she believed she hated. Had he not seen It ' 3 Copyright, 1902, by Daily S t o r y Publishing Company * 8 h e sat on the top rail of the ram* Trflns-old fence and looked critically at 4he landscape before her. Her hat w a s tipped from her white forehead, releasing a dosen tendril-like yellow curhY, slightly dampened by her walk fa the summer sun* Her short skirt was a trifle higher than her governess — t h e only mother she had ever known —would have sanctioned, revealing a round and pretty ankle dressed in 4 a l n t y black silk hose; and under one •arm she carried a box of paints and -brushes. In her lap a light camp stool vested. "It is pretty," she said, after a time, "'and it is absurd for me to attempt to l>aint it; but what can one do? We must begin ambitious work sometime, •or we will never be classed among the immortals of art. 'Hitch your wagon t o a star,* or Oh! oh!" The quotation was cut short by an ominous cracking of decayed rails and the next moment the pretty girl with t h e yellow curls and the high ambition had sat dowu very hard and very suddenly in a patch of clover on the othsr side of the fence. " you cannot hope to become famous," she added calmly enough, though tears came to the blue eyes as she spoke. Then, before she could recover herself and her equilibrium a calm voice back of her asked, "May I help you up?" Dorothy Mann turned quickly. A : bearded man, with a much worn suit -*of corduroy, and carrying a heavy sake, was holding out a helping hand to her. "'No, thank you," she answered, getting to her feet with all the dignity at her command, while tier cheeks grew becomingly red. "1 • I The fence is not very strong." "No," said he gravely, "it isn't. I hope to get around to it this week, however, and will repair it as well as 1 can." Dorothy took the camp stool he was offering her and looked at the man as •if she had expected the interruption to her noble resolve. < "I suppose you are one of Mr. Van Dyke's workmen?" she said. His sang-froid, with/the evident commonness of attire seemed strangely incongruous to her. - "I am Yes, Miss," he said, touching his hat respectfully. The motion was not awkward, and the hat seemed inclined to come all the way o l in place of being merely disturbed momentarily by his hand. A throb of artistic fervor made itself felt in the litt l e artist's breast. The newcomer was good looking, and she made a quick resolve. * "Are you busy now?" she asked, in Tier most business-like tone. "If you - are n o t I would like to have you pose vfor me to paint you. Half an hour will be long enough. You can do it easily, I am sure, and it would be half a dollar extra for you, without work. Of course Mr. Van Dyke would lose your' time while I have it, but b» is a rich man, I understand, and he would not know anything about It." A brief smile flitted over the laborer's tired face, and Dorothy wondered •quickly if she had been guilty of any h i g h crime in suggesting the matter •to him. Then the man spoke. "Thank you, miss," he said. "I'll be glad to pose for you. Mr. Van Dyke isn't any friend of mine, even if I do work for him, and he wouldn't dare say anything if he found it out Where'U I •stand?" "Right there by the fence," said Dorothy, breathing easier now that • ' / "It is pretty," she said, -she saw the man was inclined to be respectful and glad of the opportunity . t h e found for a •'figure" study. "I'll be ready in a moment. Just lean against the fence and turn your head t h e other way. Yes, hold the rake tha -way you have it now. Don't look at •nw, but just think of what you have >to d o on the place to-morrow. There!" And her small fingers began to fly over -the block of water color paper as she nkntcntd-Jm with a hard pencil, the -rough outline of the well knit figure bafore bar. "If I can only get htm as the really If." afae said to herself. "It After lunch* L W a p s t one arm about Dorothy as they walked through the little orchard. "I wish yeu would' let me ask Mr. Van Dyke to call, Dotly, dear," aha said. "Ha la really very nlee, and as his laborer says he 4 o e * net mean to amy unpleasant things. Yon know I used to know htm quite well. May Z not?" "Perhaps, some day," answered Dor* othy, "but you must never tell him about my model. I want him to discover that next spring." Lida smiled slightly. Then ahe stopped and, turning Dorothy about till she faced her, she said: "I think he knows about that now, Dolly. He's pretty clever even if he does do eccentric things—like wearing old clothes and working about his estate, Just for the love of manual labor." Dorothy gave a little gasp. "What do you mean?" she cried, turning red and white by turns, while her blue eyes grew big with frightened surprise. "Nothing, except that for the past month or so you have been industriously painting pictures of a gentle rustic named Robert Van Dyke," said Lida, laughing softly at her friend's expression. "Poor little painter! Isn't it awful?" • • • The most treasured valuable in a large collection belonging to Robert Van Dyke, Esq., to-day is a watercolor portrait of himself in corduroys —painted by his wife. "Just lean against the fence." one of her pictures at the Spring Exhibit and said, in the hearing of Lida herself, that he had a notion to find the girl who had painted it, and fall in love with her? And, adding insult to injury, he had expressed' himself as believing that he would marry her, too! His impudence had made Dorothy stamp one small foot with anger and resolve to make him sorry for what he had said, some day. "I'll paint him carefully and exhibit the picture next spring," she thought, "background of meadow, and all. Then the self-satisfied Mr. Van Dyke will see that I prefer to use men—even his own workmen—as subjects for art, not as lovers." At the end of a silent half hour— for Dorothy was eminently businesslike when she chose to be-*-she said, "That will do. I hope you are not tired. And here is the money." As she handed it to him, the laborer turned his head quickly away for a moment, and she thought he was going to burst into tears, his shoulders shook so. But she did not say anything more, although she resolved to have him pose again for her. "I have no doubt that little money came as a God-send to him and his little family," she wrote that night. "He told me himself, just before he went to work again, that Mr. Van Dyke was the worst enemy he had. Strange, isn't it, how men of wealth do oppress those under them?" But though several sittings followed this, and Dorothy, in the goodness of her sympathetic little heart, endeavored to secure the poor fellow's confidence with a view to helping him further, he always avoided telling her much about himself. When Lida McCane ran down to spend a week with Dorothy, who was stopping with -n aunt in the tiny country town, she found Dorothy's interest in her model still on the increase. "He is a really lovely model, Lida," she said, "and wears such picturesque corduroys. He doesn't talk much, but he looks at me, in such a strange way at times that I wonder if he isn't going to tell me the story of his life! I hope not, for I don't like such elaborate narratives. Yesterday he did say that Mr. Van Dyke is not as bad as some people think, though he often says things that he does not mean. I want you to come with me tomorrow and tell me what you think of him—the model. He certainly has not always been a laborer, for he shows evidences of gentle blood and good breeding every day." "What a paragon you have fouhd," laughed Lida as she kissed Dorothy again. "I really think I will have to warn Mr. Van Dyke that you are thinking of kidnapping his star laborer, or, at least, trying to make him dissatisfied with his work." "Oh, but I am not," said Dorothy. "And, besides, he seems to work only when he pleases. Did I tell you that he has asked me for a picture ot himself— to give to his wife for Christmas, I suppose. He hinted as much." The following day Lida accompanied Dorothy to the meadow which adjoined that of the Van * Dykes, and qot long after they had settled themselvea the model appeared. As he took off his cap to acknowledge the presence of the newcomer and the introduction, Miss McCane bit her lip sharply; Then she discovered she had left her best brushes at t h e house and insisted on going after them herself. She did not return. - - LIVING EXPENSES IN LONDON. What the Diner Has io T*j In All Restaurant*. An American who, in the classical language of his country, is at present "located" in London wants to know whether any city in the world is quite so niggardly as our own. He has been going the round of the London restaurants, and has encountered in the management of them a spirit which distresses him. "There is, to begin with," he says, "a charge of from 2d to 6d for guarding your hat. and coat in the cloakroom, and a tip in addition is expected. You want to wash your hands— another 2d or anotiher 6d, and another tip. You take up the menu, and behold! there is an intimation that a charge of 3d each person will be made under the guise of 'table money.' This charge varies according to the nature of the place—3d is the lowest, 6d perhaps the average; at a great many restaurants it is Is, and in at least two that I have visited, Is Id. The only difference is that in the lower-priced restaurants it is called 'table money,' and in the higher-priced ones placed under the captivating heading of couvert. To my mind an entrance fee, frankly demanded at the door, would be much less offensive than to find yourself asked at the end of a dinner to pay for the trouble and expense of cleaning up the cutlery you have used." His conclusion of the whole matter is that "London lives by imposing a fixed tariff on the accessories that in every other city I have ever been to are thrown in gratis," and he thinks, that being a gentleman is one of the most expensive professions an Englishman can have. He declares it to be an utter delusion that London is a cheap place to live in.—London Chronicle. Two CrMlclams on Sermon*. The Rev. Dr. W. S. Rainsford, rector of S t George's church, New York, derives much enjoyment from the criticisms ot his sermons which he hears from time to time. He has an artful way of calling forth these expressions, and enjoys telling of some very frank replies he has received. He recently asked a young parishioner, who is an attentive listener: "Well, Dorothy, how did you like my Advent sermon?" "It was very peculiar, doctor," replied the precocious 11-year-old. "You read so many texts from the Bible." The doctor missed from the services a stern-faced but kindly old woman of New England stock, and sought her out. "I have not seen you at church lately," he said. "The fact is, doctor, I have been going to St. . 's." "Don't you like St. George's?" the clergyman asked. "Yes," was the hesitating reply, "but there Is not enough hellflre in your sermons. You are too easy on sinners." Egypt's Veiled Women. The tasmak or veil may be black o\ white, long or short, plain or embellished with rows of drawn work ox tucks, and of any sort of fine, soft material.

These aro held in place by a metal tube that Is fastened over the nose and lower part of the forehead by cords securely tied behind. When worn with this habara, in the orthodox fashion, there is nothing visible but the woman's bright, black eyes, which see everything going on.

The- recent robbery of Paul Gilbert The baud by his valet revealed, that Mr. Tbebaud was one who cultivated this hobby. One of the largest collections of the kind was left some years ago by "Jimraie" Wood, an, eccentric bachelor, well known in New York sooiety, who lived at the old New York hojtel. Mr. Wood left nearly *Q0 pins, which were distributed to various friends. He was a bachelor and a native of Baltimore. His hair and -whiskers were fiery red, and for a long time he dyed them, making them almost supernatural and Mephistophelean in their effect. Suddenly he gave up the deception, and afterward appeared* with snow-white hair and side appendages. He was always in love with the last society beauty, but he would never propose, and he took deepest umbrage If any of them married. To one daughter of a socially prominent family, a famous beauty still, he had left a large sum in his will. On her marriage, however, he managed to change the amount of zeroes and the punctuation point so that her dowry from him fell from thousands to hundreds—not being inclined to further express his dissatisfaction in a legal codicil. William Cutting and Center Hitchcock have collections of the pins almost as extensive as is that of Mr. Thebaud. Many of these were given them at weddings at which they were ushers. POPE AND UNITED ITALY. Catholic Question Block* the Way of a £tK«M«fat Government. Both yoang and old, the holy father said at Christmas, were wanted in the Christian movement for the upraising of the people, and young and old must work hand in hand! These frequent exhortations of the pope to union among Catholics suggests the existence of causes of dissension, says the Tablet. There arc Catholics of the old school, fond of a quiet life, who refuse to take note of the changed conditions of the tiraeii; on the other hand, there are ardent young spirits who forget that there has been a past at all, and who seek to impress their own ideas whole and entire, ai in a new creation, on the Italy of today. To these especially the holy father addresses a former instruction on the social movement, in which he urges that It must be in continuity with the past, must draw its inspiration from religion, and its direction from the pastors of the church. There have been some few who were ready to leave the Roman question and the rights of the holy see In the background in their eagerness to prove the democratic character of the Catholic movement. The Roman question does undoubtedly block the way of the Italian government, whose path will never be smooth until it has solved It to the satisfaction of the pope. Idloayncrseles of Authors. Those who suppose that the work of authorship is easy may be Interested to learn some of the expedients resorted to by distinguished men of letters. With strong and vigorous men like Victor Hugo and Catulle Mendes a walk ia sufficient to stimulate ideas; the weak, on the contrary, like Descartes and Leibnitz, find their inspiration lying down. Cujas usually wrote lying on his stomach. Rossini and Ambroisc Thomas were inspired only when in bed. Chateaubriand used to dictate to his secretary while walking barefooted up and down his chamber. Bossouet wrapped his head in warm linen, Balzac wore a monk's cowl and Gautier a red dressing gawn. It Is said that without his scarlet jacket M. Francois Coppee could not write. Lord Derby when writing filled his mouth with cherry brandy, Fenimore Cooper sucked gum and Pierre Loti has recourse to perfumes. Cot or of Scots* Hair. Curious investigation reported to the British Association traces the origin of complexion by the surnames. It was based according tor a contemporary, on an examination of 14,561 school children of East Aberdeenshire, and a calculation of the pigmentation of the hair and eyes for 59 most frequent surnames. The darkest hair and eyes belong to surnames common in fishing communities, verifying the tradition that the fishing population of east Scotland is of Belgian origin. The pigmentation of Highland surnames corresponds closest with that of their districts of origin. The surnames of Wallace, Pirie; Grant, Park, and Birnie have strong blond tendencies, those of Cordiner, Cruikshank, Stephen. Strae- Jflftn. Buchan. Paterson and Whyte are darkest; and Rennie, Scott, Grant and Thompson show most red hair. Mrs, Flynn—"An* phwat's yer son Molke doln' now. Mrs. Casey?"• Mrs. Casey—"Shure.

The German emperor is always ill when facing a gale at sea. The empress is a much better sailor In this respect. When the two of them went to the holy land the impress was the only person of the- Imperial clssle on board who was not prostrated by seasickness during the trip down the Adriatic. Prince Henry of Prussia likewise confesses to seasickness each time on going to sea after being in port for a while. The duke of Cornwall is afflicted in the same way, and the duchess is such a martyr to seasickness that she hesitated for a long time before consenting to undertake the tour just concluded. She suffered Intensely during the trip from Portsmouth t o Gibraltar, the weather in the Bay of Biscay being very stormy.

With great earnestness he declared that if the president of the United States had properly characterized Aguinaldo nntl his associates as bloodthirsty Apaches then Admiral D e w e y and those who secured Agninaldo's help and assistance could not escape the charge of deliberately violating the laws of civilized warfare, and he hoped the charge against Admiral Dewey would be investigated. "From the beginning,", said Mr. Carmack* "we knew that Aguinaldo w a s fighting not for a change of masters, but for absolute freedom," and he said, Gen. Anderson had assured Aguinaldo that the American people never have established colonies, and he could trust in the honor of the American people. "These facts," he said, "constitute a binding obligation upon us to give them their Independence."

Another bill by Mr. Wilcox fixes the salary of tlk* governor of Hawaii at $8,000. Senator Hoar presented a petition signed by u number of distinguished citizens praying for the suspension of hostilities in the Philippine islands, and asking that an opportunity be given for a discussion of the situation between the government and the Filipino leaders.

This is a provision giving to foreign ambassadors and ambassadors accredited to Washington protection against assaults and punching with death any such assault which results in the death of the foreign ambassador or minister.

Moorhouse's sermons:-- "Suppose we had been in Jerusalem during that ten days, and had heard tha.fr fh* diafiipTpq were j whe^vjeithig the city, will come holding a pentecostal meeting, and | and see us. were expecting the enduement of j The WCTU of the district have ^ojy^\jmcHhey had been running I presented a large and fine coffee for over a week and nothing had! urn, suitably inscribed, toother happened, and we got curious j post exchange at Fort Meyer, Va., enough to go up some night to i for the benefit of the soldiers at see how they were running the! that post.

Nothing gives relief to a sprain more quickly than cold salt water. Here are a few other uses for salt: Mixed in equal proportions with soda, salt makes an admirable dentifrice. In cases of dysentery, salt taken in vinegar and warm water gives great relief. In croup, salt is a reliable and harmless remedy; the dose is a teaspoonful, mixed with a tablespoonful of honey, given freely; and a bag of hot salt is very soothing in neuralgia, toothache, earache aud similar affections. L Brain-Food Nonsense. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled Hie silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a partic ular p'irt of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Greene's August Flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy action, purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. Yon can get Dr. 0 . G. Greene's reliable remedies at F. A. Sigler s drug •tore, Pinokney. Get Greene's special in close proximity to these posts would piesent just such a coffee urn to the Exchange, so that the men could have all the good coffee they want in winter, and keep an ice-water barrel well supplied with ice in the summer. We have ! been undul\ censured for taking' comforts awny from the soldiers' through the enforcement of this law; let us make up to them in! every way possible, whatever of \ comfort we can. i Let me give you one sentence from an address delivered by Secretary of Stat* Hay, at a bauquet ; given by the Chamber of Commerce in New York recently: he said, "The diplomacy of the United States is based upon the Mon-[ roe doctrine and the Golden Rule" Surely, if the men of our nation, high in officinl positions, adhere j to the teachings of the Golden ! Rule, we may confidentally look for the "Golden Rule of Man," in 1 the not far distant future. j Let us thank God and take ! courage at all these indications, which look toward the universal brotherhood of man. I Your friend and sister, I - Margaret Dye Ellis. ! 'That's w b a t all of 'em says," said bis friend, Nicholas Peckley, who rejoiced to the glaring fact that he was au old bachelor past all redemption. "It's quite surprising what a number of most charming girls there are. Well, Baltic, I wish you joy, I'm sure." Mr. Baltic rubbed his hands compla- -oently, - "You see," said he, "she Is a rose, as one may say, In the full bloorm is my Myrtilla, just twenty-seven." "She looks all of that," said his friend dubiously. "Envious dog!" thought Baltic to himself as he trotted briskly down the street. And thus meditating Mr. Brutus Baltic turned his steps to the casket that contained his heart's jewel—in other words, the house where Miss Myrtilla Hopkiuson lived. The front door was open, a n d Mr. Baltic walked complacently In, with the air of a man who feels himself thoroughly and entirely a t home, and tiptoed up the stairs. "Dear girl. I'll give her a surprise!" said Mr. Baltic to himself. MissM^-_rt_ilja__sat_at the pnrior table, her hack toward the door," ITiTslTy employed in reading a letter, while around her l;:y scattered pens, ink and paper and the paraphernalia of epistolary oc- "ciipnttOTrr "One of my notes," thought the love smitten swain; but while these thoughts passed through' his mind a hoard creaked a warning. Miss Hopkiuson looked around with a little shriek. "My goodness gracious!" cried Myrtilla, jumping up. "I have caught you!" cried Mr. Baltic, playfully making a grasp at the note. But Miss Hopkinson evaded his movement and thrust the note under a pile of newspapers. But as she did so Mr. Baltic perceived, to his inexpressible surprise and dismay, that the billet, although in an unmistakably masculine hand, was none of his penning. "Myrtilla!" he exclaimed reproachfully. "Oh. Brutus, dear, how you startled my poor nerves!" cooed Myrtilla, tripping forward with outstretched hands. Before Mr. Baltic; could select appropriate words in which to demand an explanation from ids 'sweetheart the tete-a-tete was unfortunately interrupted by the entrance of Myrtilia's married sister. But as they parted ou the staircase Mr. Baltic said: "Myrtilla. when I came this afternoon"— "Yes, dear," purred the fair enslaver. —"you were reading a letter—a letter from a gentleman." Miss Hopkinson colored. "Brutus, you surely don't doubt me!" "Will you let me see the letter?" "No." Mr. Baltic banged out of the house. Miss Hopkinson dissolved Into tears. "Oh. dear! Oh. dear! Oh, dear!" she bewailed herself. " W h a t shall I doV" Mr. Baltic went home in a towering passion of jealous rage and penned a note which would have done no discredit to any tragedy hero ill the land: Fal.-;e one, 1 Rive yon twenty-four hours for an explanatory If at t!:e expiration of that period you still per>i>t in r. fusing; to show me yuuv ralstug big tearful' betrothed*. «T>f nae whisper you a secret—mine are false too." And so Cupid, tbe little god of love, folded bis. wlugs peacefully above tbe empty box which had once beld Myr/ tllla Hopkinson's -complete aet of "uppers and lowers.'!

The dusk was only faintly illuminated by here and there the yellow gleam of an occasional gas lamp when Mr. Baltic stalked up 1o the residence of Miss Hopkinson once more. Two figures were .'it tlu> area gate—a woman and a man whispering in the twilight. "Good!" thouglrt Mr. P.altic. "It's Bridget 'and her young mam I'll give my nj:te to Bridget."

After deliberating for three hours Thursday afternoon the jury fh the case of Bert Farrlngton of Milan, charged with the murder of his wife's paramour, Jesse Hooker of Adrian, brought in a verdict declaring the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. The prevailing sentiment was- that Farrington knew what he was about, but ought to, be lot off as easily as possible .under that theory.

Kr. John Maloney. of St. Mary's church, called on Latimer Saturday at the hospital. The priest is one of the few people in Jackson' who never believed Latimer killed his another.

Irving," said the priest, "this is the first time you have ever made any statement rogardfing the murder, isn't II V" "Yes, sir." Latimer replied. The priest has frequently visited Latimer at the prison and Ids surprise at Latimer's change of front was great. 1^1 timer discussed his past life freely.

"Bert will go to Milan wrth liuv' said Ed;Harrington, "andv of course we are all sanguine that Judge Chester will be lenient In his sentence." The European nations now striving to prove how much they love us would probably be less demonstrative if they knew how determined we are to remain single. If the reports of Prince Henry's good eense are trustworthy the American who attempts to "fawn at the feet of royalty" invites the discouragement of a royal kick in the jaw. A H e r m i t ' * D e a t h . Henry Malone. known as the hermit of the prairie, died at an early hour -Saturday morn4ttg-rtt the Lewis, hospital in Bay City of .pneumonia, after an illness of a week, and thereby ended a unique life. Malone lived in a lean-to sluinty. isolated from the rest of the world, on a forsaken prairie tliat runs aiougsid^ the Saginaw river for many miles, The hermit's scanty is not more than six feet wide by nine or ten feet long. In summer the front and only door is not supposed to close. To enter, one must lirst surmount a pile of ehiiw and shavings and then drop a foot as the threshold is crossed. There is no window to admit light sudicient to afford a good view of the interior. A hole over the door, that is luvarded in winter, admits liglit and air in the wttr.n months of the year. He was one of Lieut.-Col. Pritchard's command of tin? Fourth Michigan Cavalry during the civil war. Seven years ago Malono's brother. John, n ru«h farmer, after consicka- ahle persuasion, succeeded in getting him to his home in Taymouth, but the "old hermit couldn't stay there, preferring Ms shack on the'prairie. He roe jived a pension of $12 a month and had lived alone for twenty vears. As a result of the earthquake at the City of Mexico, Gov. Mora and his family have no home and are now living in a stable. Well, the Savior of mankind was born in one. Anarchists say that Prince Henry never did a useful day's work and that they will ignore him when he visits this country. But do the anarchists want to monopolize the loafing? No sooner does the Kaiser prove that he is friendly to the L'nited States than he is called upon to demonstrate his affection for England. Some of the Kaiser's orators keep him busy. With the Danish West Indies ours. the territory controlled by the Unite;! States will come within 100 miles of reaching half around the globe. Even Benjamin Franklin didn't foresee that. Mr. Marconi's engagement was broken off because he failed to keep up his correspondence.

The taking o«! evidence in the case began Wednesday morning. The opening was very short. Mr. Ward was often interrupted by Attorney Montgomery for the defense. At times the attorneys became rather excited, two or three talkin?,' at the same time. Mr. Ward's remarks were on the line of those made now being ugltatetr at Battle Creek.

He said the laws of tin* l'nited States were applied only to citizens of this country—citizens by either nativity or adoption. Mr. Foraker. of Ohio, had read~frotnthe revised statutes of the United States the laws of congress relating to the crime of treason and similar offenses against the government, and said that the acts iwssed by the Philippine'commission were almost iden'tlcal in their laugimge with the laws enacted by congress In the" diTys~oT~ Ihe fathers of the republic, and that there wa» nothing unprecedented or unusual about them. at the opening of the Salsbury ease, " ' " " " " ' " ^ - v "c^ssiuueoi a m.rri«u except that he went more fully into '"»* ^ . « P * s t ' ° l W e ; ^ . « ° u n c J the alleged transactions between Sals- ™*} u m l lv:i*ea a l**-*^ ^ * *esibury and Stilson V.

CHAPTER lX.~«toati»a«4<> As the musicians struck the first low wailing notes a shout ot universal applause greeted the fair dancer. Slow* fr the mandoiina Bounded the meaaures of the dance, and with tranquil, almost hesitating steps, the young girl Interpreted the rhythm and time with her tiny feet Gradually the chords quickened and became livelier, and the slow-moving Circe merged into a radiant Terpsichore. Her eyes, hitherto bent timidly upon the floor, were now proudly raised and swept the crowd with half coquettish, half inquiring glances. They seemed to say: "Are there none brave enough to risk being my partner?" One of the yotmg-iettows thus interpreting the look, and perhaps eager to show his courage, quickly advanced to the estrada, and, uncovering, presented his gay sombrero with its garniture of silver and lace for the acceptance of the bewitching dancer. Receiving it with a smile, without pausing—for an instant in the evolutions in which she was engaged, she placed it coquettishly upon her head. A prolonged viva g * e t t ^ i n U 4 i c t ^ l i i l e _ t t o ^ i e ^ lant, who had thus been conceded the floor, placed himself opposite to her and joined in the dance. It continued for a time, when, at the cry of "Chammara!" by the spectators, the young gallant, bowing gracefully to the girl, retired to give place to the second aspirant. Placing himself opposite Circe, the new partner went through the same series of evolutions as his predecessor, ending by unwinding the crimson China crape sash from his waist, which he fashioned into a rosette and hung from one of the bare shoulders of the girl. This act .constituted a challenge to all comers, "while by permitting it to remain the girl signified her acceptance of him-until such time as another Bhould present a better cairn. It could only be answered in one way—by the knife. From the-crowd arose the cry of "Machete! machete!" and in prompt response the rival lover sprang into the estrade, and, with a graceful bow, presented himself to the girl. A slight nod told him that he, too, was welcome to the honor of bestowing his favors; and, drawing his long, glittering cuchillo from its sheath, he suspended it by its bow of purple ribbons from the right shoulder of the girl, already carrying the sash of his rival upon her left. A new pas de deux now began, carried on as before, though with many extemporized variations. Every now and then a chorus of vivas and Lravos greeted the execution of some more than usually difficult step, or suggestive figure. Suddenly a strident voice in the crowd shouted "Bombs!" and the dance was at an end. The women, now that the dancing was over, took themselves out of harm's way. The two factions, occupying opposite sides of the estrada, clamored for the fight. Dona Juanita, proud and radiant, stood in the center of the estrada awaiting the final ceremony with a tranquillity which went far to prove her indifference to the claim of either aspirant. But the pledges were still to be redeemed, and, with a practical eye to the business features of the play, she waited with extended hand. The usual fee of each pledge is a silver half real, but the two gallants, advancing one after another, filled both her hands with silver coins, amid the murmurs of applause which such prodigality excited. The estrada was now cleared for the fight, which nothing could now avert. The sylvan temple* so lately the scene of gayety and pleasure, was converted into a gladiatorial arena. Into Its midst one of the gallants advanced, and, first tracing a rude circle in the hard-beat sand of the floor, planted his knife in its center. The second promptly followed and placed his long blade close beside that of his rival, while both courteously uncovered.- A polite altercation then ensued as to who should first place his hat upon hia ' head, each claiming an honor which, granted by either, would make him the superior in point of courtesy. The difficulty was, however, decided by both contestants covering at the earn* time. The spectators were then relegated to the outside of the estrada, the combatants placed face to face, and the signal given. The combatants stood each with his long blade grasped in his right hand, and with his left hand and arm wrapped in the folds of his manga by way of shield. At the word the combat began. The Gautaricans know nothing of scientific fencing, and rely wholly upon strength an" agility of body. The blows were furiously given, but were far from dexterous. On both sides it was only a scries of qulc* thrusts and clumsy parries, of sudden lunges and hasty retreatB. Their long knives struck one another with a metallic clang, or cut the air with a mournful sough. But tbe"re wOt a ferocity and determination about the" men which resulted in much bloodshed and mutual hacking of flesh. They swayed to and fro upon the floor, the tumultuous crowd closing abo"ut them as they were successively displaced. Thus it continued for ten minutes, when, wounded and bleeding, both men came to the floor, and were carried off by their more intimate followers. It was when the barbarous duel In the public square had been brought to a termination that Overton, indulging in a little bitter reflection regarding the evil that befalls man through his natural love for woman, felt a linnu plucking his sleeve, and knew from the whiff of villainous tobacco smoke that his new Jonathan, the general, stood at his elbow, his face wreathed in smiles and hla_i^rtJ^Xl!amjB_^wejiing with the importance of the communication he bore. C H A P T E R X. The Maker of Presidents. As soon as his eyes fell upon the smiling countenance of General Barrajo, Jack knew the latter carried a message—he seemed so pleased with himself, so desirous of doing some favor to the brave Senor Overton, who had saved his precious life, and made him overwhelmingly his debtor. When, however, the verbal communication was delivered Jack's face took on a frown and he bit his lip. For the stout general bore a message that Dona Juanita desired to meet the American at once; and he also gave Jack to understand that this summons was to be considered a great honor, about which, however, that worthy had his doubts. He concluded to meet Dona Juanita. He found the senorita not far away, arid—her-manner of receiving him was peculiarly coy for one who had shown herself so bold when the rival young gallants were vleing with each other for the privilege of her smiles. Jack, had _£e known these hot-blooded creatures of Gautarica better, would have taken warning from this very fact and studiously avoided the senorita, for it was quite patent to the astute general she had conceived a sudden and overpowering admiration for the American that was very apt to blossom presently into a passion. Jack carried on a spirited conversation with the belle of San Jose, and could not but note the deep satislaction shown by the general. In the goodness of his heart, no doubt he wanted the man who had saved his life to have all the prizes there were in the lottery, and the senorita, in his mind, came within that category. So he worked the strings. Had Jack suspected hi3 philanthrope ical design, he might have deeply regretted running those three revolutionists off when they had the general cornered. As it was, having in mind a sketch of some mythical godde33, which trie senorita as he had seen her dancing t>o alluringly before her many -HdmtTeis would fill to perfection, ho studied her while thus engaging hoi* in conversation. Doubtless he forgot that in thus exerting himself, with the purpose IU view of drawing her out, he at th« same time accomplished a double 00- ject, and appeared unusually attractive in her eye3. That was where the boomerang caniv in. It chanced that after this night they met frequently—not so much througn his inclination. as an apparent combination of circumstances. The lovely daughter of the tropics had taken a- great fancy for Senor Overton, and his indifference piqued her, since she' wa3 so accustomed to having gallants go mad for an iota ot the favor she bestowed upon Jack. Sometimes It appears as great a crime to be diffident as to show egotism—it may not push one into hot water a* often, but there are occasions when it counts as much. And the wily general looked on. anu behind Jack'3 back rubbed hi3 hands, very much as a miser might over his gold. It was his purpose to devote his lite to showering blessing3 on his noble deliverer—love, power, wealth, ail should be hi3. and he would bless the day when he first met Pedro Alphonso Barrajo—indeed, It would be a red-letter day in the affairs of the little republic as well. Overton had never taken the genetal into his confidence, to tell him the bitter story of hit past and how he had bccoin? a full-fledged wqman hater, pledged to. remain forever a bachelor. He hail found a means ot engaging in bualnasir Such energy as he, I N * tested was a new element in San Juan, and from the way In which he started it wat evident that In due course of time, say. ten years, if nothing happened to overturn matters—somethmg is always occurring in these torrid Utile republics—he bade fair to own tne whole community, which shows what push and enterprise may accomplish when properly applied. Ten years was a long time to w a i t - he had calculated on half that period when he could go back to London and pay up old scores. And then it occurred to Jack to partially take his friend the general into bis confidence, and tell him how necessary it was that he. should roll the ball of fortune faster, in order that the result should be hastened. Brave Barrajo had met danger when it appeared about to overwhelm him with a steady front and a flashing blade. He was equal to the occasion now. Slapping Jack most heartily on the back, he winked his left eye mysteriously, and, looking cautiously around to see that they were alone, whispered hoarsely: "Carramba! Make your mlhlTeasj, senor—it is all arranged—the train is laid and at the proper time tho match will be applied—then comes the explosion, and, pouf! there you are in a jump! One thing tell me, Senor Jack, how long you have been In San Jose— on Gautarican soil?" ~ Jack figured it out. "Just six months to-morrow—how time has flown, and I have only made a start," he said slowly. The general rubbed his hands together in almost delirious joy. "Six months—it is quite enough. You shall be made a citizen to-morrow." "Is it positively necessary?" dubiously. "Undoubtedly so," came the prompt reply. "Then I submit—any sacrifice so that I may attain the end to which I aspire." "Madre do Dios! You will not call it a sacrifice, Senor Jack, when you learn what a feast of good things Is being prepared for you. Never was a man more favored by fortune, I swear." Jack smiled and shook his head. "Ah! you speak in enigmas, general." •. . ttJssV Warns* I*di*Mai* .- • PresGc&nt tfoosWfeft has received the petition from a • thousand indignant women protesting against method* employed by the pffirlals of the Xew York custom house in the matter of luggage inspection, These women say they travel for pleasure and not for business, and on returning from abroad are subjected to a system that amounts to Insult ami (persecution. Their oath aa to the value of their goods, they say, avails nothing. Notwithstanding what they swear to the inspectors turn their trunks inside out. The women even charge that old clothing is frequently assessed for duty. The system In vogue at the New York dock, they declare, leads to falsehoods that are told in self-defense. Admiral tanpMra Dyi»sr. Rear Admiral Sampson was unconscious Thursday night, and physicians fear that his condition to dangerous. If he is living on Sunday, the 9th inst, his more thou two score years of active service in the United States navy will have closed and he will go upon the retired list. He is entirely unconscious of what is going on in the world, nnd never will know whether the appeal to the president honors or blames him. Within the last few days he has suffered relapses, but it is not known that he is n*ar death. The disease is, making steady progress and his death is only a question of a short time. "Soon^soon all will be made plain. Wait, have patience; your loftiest dream of pomp and power could not attain to what awaits the friend and preserver of Pedro Barrajo. I do not forget—I can never forget!" with a gesture of vehemence. "Well, I place myself in your hands, my general," Overton felt compelled to say, having concluded to go the whole thing, once started. "Aha! you are wise—you will bless me to your dying day. Love, power, fortune, all shall be yours. The vow is recorded. One thing I must beg of you, Senor Jack. It is this. If, some night, after tomorrow, you should hear a commotion in San Jose, shots fired and loud cheers from the army, pray do not show yourself upon the street until I call upon you." "Ah! prospects of another revolution, I suppose?" "Hush! Not so loud, please. Roblado's spies may be about—they suspect something is in the wind. No, it is not Montejo this time—he is a dead herring in Gautarican politics now. Ask no more questions, only wait and see; great events are on the eve of transpiring. You promise—good! Go your way, my dear friend, and prepare for a grand surprise. Silence!" and with his finger on his lips the remarkable general bowed, and mounting his horse galloped toward' the barracks, I leaving Overton a badly puzzled man. j After that mysterious warning, from Barrajo, Jack was exceedingly careful how he strayed from his domicile after old Helios dipped his glowing face in the western sea and the black pall of night descended upon gay San Jose. For he placed great confidence in the general, and that worthy's directions had been so very direct and explicit they could not be mistaken. His reward came. It was the fourth night after the flower procession, and San Jose had in a measure calmed down—that is, resumed the normal condition that marked the passing of early evening. The gay crowds still lingered in the plaza near by. as though having some inkling of the tremendous epoch in Gautarica's history that was on the eve of occurring. Overton wondered how it came that the sounds of merriment had long since died away, while the throng still remained abroad. He had not known to strange a thing to happen before, and he had been half a year in San Jose. too. He had just completed his task of writing, and, utterly fagged out. filled his pipe for a comfortable smoke before retiring, when the sound cf a sudden shot electrified him. (To be continued.)

So writes our esteemed friend Mr. Frank Chambers of 9 Bennett street. Chiswiek: "For over two years I suffered agonies from indigestion and became reduced to a mere shadow of my stalwart self. I would return home from my business feeling so faint that I could hardly drag one leg after the other. My dear wife did all she possibly could to tempt me with dainty dishes, and as I entered the house I sniffed and thought: 'Oh, how good; I know I can eat that!' But alas! no sooner had I eaten a few mouthful*, when I felt sick; severe pains shot through my cheat and shoulder blades, my eyes swam and everything seemed black, I became alternately hot and cold, and got up from such a dainty dinner heartily sick of living, and feeling I was a sore trial to everybody. I may mention that I was also very much troubled with scaly skin, and often boils. But one evening I noticed my wife seemed more cheerful than usual. I questioned her and found she had been reading a pamphlet she had received of men afflicted just as I was, and who had been cured by JVogeler'a Compound. Said she, 'What gives me more faith in It is that it is made from the formula of an eminent physician now in active practice in the West End of London, BO I am sure it is no quack thing/ 'All right, dear, let's have a bottle/ Raid I. After taking the con^ tents of the first bottle, I felt very much better, and determined to give this remedy a fair trial, and I can positively assure you that a few bottles made a new man of me. I can slesp well, eat anything, and thoroughly enjjy life. I have told several of my friends whom I knew were suffering the same as myself, and they all wish me to say that they are like new men. I sincerely bless the great physician who gave you the formula of Vogeler's Curative Compound, and also yourselves for making its virtues known to a suffering public."

A great number of delegates have been influenced through the agency of Mr. J. S. Crawford, the Canadian government representative at Kansas City, to visit western Canada, and whether from Missouri or Kansas the story is always the same—they are pleased with the new country being opened up. Isaac H. Levagood writes from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows: "I met three delegates from Kansas yesterday at Didsbury, and took them home with me and took them out in the afternoon and showed them some of the finest land that lays on top of God's green earth. They are more than pleased with this country. They stayed with me last night; this morning I took them to Didsbury, and they went on north. When they come hack they are coming to my place and I am going to help them to run some lines and they are going to locate in sight of my house. There have been over 1,200 ncres of land changed hands here in our neighborhood this spring. When 1 located here last fall I was the furthest back of any of the settlers ; to-day I am In the center of the settlement We have thirty-six children that are of school age in our district, and we will have our school district organized next month, when we will proceed to build our schoolbouse. The longer we stay here the better we like the country; that is the way with everybody here, they all seem to be satisfied and doing well. I have talked with a great many men here and they told me that they had les3 than $50 when they got here, and today they have got 160 acres of good land and five or six hundred dollars' worth of stock. Crops are looking fine b'«re. I think this will be a good winter wheat country. One of my neighbors has a small piece and it looks fine." NeJr—Mr. Stillicns is only an apology for a man.

Mr. Cook was much in favor of the meal but if the meeting could be just as good without it would save the lady members a great amount of work. Fifth, Is i womans intellect capable of grasping the questions of the day? Mrs. R. R. Smith answered emphatically, yes. Six, is it advisable for the farmers of the county to own and equip a rural telephone? Frank Backus answered in favor of the county phone as ha had had several years exp erience. E. C. Reed said he had arranged for a gentleman to attend the meeting on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21 and 22, who would explain the matter at that time. Z. A. Hartsuff had used them and found them great labor savers. Mr. Cook explained a local phone in his county that cost them $12.00 per year that was very effectual. R. R. Smith explained the co-operative spstem of telephone. The question box was followed by music by the Oak Grove male quartette. Seth Rupert gave a talk on sugar beet raising. Said he was a farmer with the rest of them, and interested in anything or any crop that would be of benefit to the farmers of this state, but thought they should be very careful about going into sugar beet raising until they had investigated the cost of growing, harvesting and getting the crop to market. Where beet sugar factories are established the wages are from $1.25 to $1.50 per day, and one must figure on that to make It pay. Thinks Primary Election Laws." The people were strongly in favor of the change, and he cited many instances to sustain his argument. J. B.

In his talk, Mr. Taziman extended it to the change of of the constitution, and explained the workings of the senate and legislature. His talk was excellent, and opened up a wide range of discussion which was followed by music by G. B. Hogley.

Mr Wood moved that the petitions from Hartland and Mrighton for submitting local option to a vote of the people of Livingston county be received, and inasmuch as if every voter in the two townships aforesaid had signed the petitions it would not be one-third of the voters of the entire county as required by law, no further action be taken; carried. E C Shields, Prosecuting Attorney, presented the following opiniori, which on motion was ordered spread on the record, the same being as follows: To the Hon Board of Supervisors of Livingston Co; There has been submitted to me by your honor able Board a question for investigation and opinion relating to tbe salary of the Judge of Probate for this county. In reply I will say that the salary of the Judge of Probate of this county is provided for in sections 2551 and 2552 of the Compiled Laws of 1897. I understand that the last census quoted the population of this county to be under twenty thousand aud_not_ less than fifteen thousand. The provisos in section 2662 give the authority to the Hoard of Supervisors by a majority vote of all the members elect td give such additional salary to the ,1 udge of Probate of thei r respective counties as they deem justice. I am also informed that during the October session of this Board in 1900 a resolution was passed by the Board fixing the salary of the Judge of Probate for this county at eleven hundred dollars and two hundred additional was allowed as cL*rk hire If that is true it seems to me that the Board of Supervisors have acted directlv within the proviso of section 2552 of the Compiled Laws of VT. This amount has been paid to the person Incumbent of the office during the period he held the office; it was accepted by him and not questioned by the Board of Supervisors until he assumed the duties of his office and had received pav therefor, it would seem to me that the act of the Board in October, 1900. placed the Board directly within the provisos of the case of Chapman vs the County of Herrien. ">J Michigan, »11. in which, under almost similar conditions, the Court held that the first action of the board was binding. Tiider those conditions it would seem to be unsafe for the Hoard to deny_ its action and claim that, it wa* not bound in this connection. I call the Hoard's attention to section *W9of the Compiled Laws of 1897, which is as follows: "The people of the state of Michigan enact, that annual salaries of all salaried county officers, which are now or may be hereafter by lawfixed by the Board of Supervisors, shall be'fixed by said Board on or before the thirty-first day of October prior to the commencement of the term of such officers, and the sanre shall not be increased or diminished during the term for which such officers shall have been elected or appointed." While it is true that the Judge of Probate has been held to be more in the nature of a state officer than a county officer, yet the spirit of the law would seem to make it applicable to a Judge of Probate as well as to the other county officers. The clerk presented the following report for the J udge of Probate: „ ^m&KtmmSSttBti To the Hon Board of Supervisors of Livingston Co: Gentlemen:—I hereby submit my annual report as required by statute. On January 14, 1901. on petition and application of tbe Superintendents of the Poor Ada M^Bohnet. of Handy, a dependent, was, by order of this court, sent to the Coldwater school. On December 30tb on application of the Superintendents an order was made sending Bertha, Pearl and John Tackebury, of Howell, to the same school, but as yet the Superintendents have not taken them away. The following commitments have been made in cases of insanity and all, except the case of Lawrence £ Smith, who was confined temporarily In the Oak Grove hospital at Flint, Michigan, are charges against the county : February 87 M H Brigham, Cohoctah, Kalamaxoo; April 99th L E Smith, Hartlsnd, Oak Grove hospital, Flint; August 1st Albert Purdy, Howell, Pontiac; December 18th Charlie R Caaady, Oceola, Pontiac; November 8d Bather Williams, Handy, Pontiac; November 23d Gustsv Wendel, Cohoctah, Pontiac. Mr Brigham lived only a short time after being sent to Kalamazoo. Albert Purdy staid only a short time at Pontiac, at least I am so informed by his relatives who made the application. In the<ase of Charlie R Caaady an order was made that his mother should reimburse the county to the amount of forty dollars per annum, he having an interest in some land on which she lived. This would leave as charges against the county only the three rases of ^asady, Williams and Wendel for the- year's work.

The State Farmers Institute for this county will be held at the court house at the above place and date and the committee have spared no pains to make it one of the most interesting ever held. Among the topics discussed will be the sugar beet question from every standpoint, the township unit school system, what kind of au education does the farmer need and where, to get it? Advantages of a canning factory, the outlook for meat production in Michigan, the county telephone system, and other questions ot vital importance to farmers oil .Livingston county^ It is a well known fact that Livingston county's farmers institutes have come to be recognized as one of the leading educational factors in our county. We believe that some of the single addresses given by state speakers have been worth more to the farm ers of this county than the cost of ajl the institutes ever held in the county. Every farmer should make an effort to attend every session. The womans' section will be held at the M. E. church Saturday afternoon at1:30. Why not one for Pineknoy and Vicinity?

He will also answer the following questions asked last Sunday evening: Does the Roman Catholic Church consider Confirmation administered by a Priest valid? How can the Church justify herself in changing from leavened to unleavened bread in the seventh century for use in Holy Communion when the former alone had been used before? Why is Queen Elizabeth called the Virgin Queen? Why is Queen Mary called "Bloody Mary?" Why did Henry VIII. suppress the Monastaries? Did the Puritan fathers introduce religious, liberty in America? Who introduced religious liberty in America? Does the Church forbid the leading of the Bible? Why is the Catholic Church opposed to Divorce and all other churches tolerate it? Is not prejudice against the Catholic church dying out? [s not one church as good as another? Do not Catholic's give too much honor to the Blessed Virgin? Do not Catholic's believe that the Pope cannot~ stn^—What is meant—by the infallibility of the Pope? Can Children who die before they are baptized be saved ? For several years rural telephone lines have been operated in the farming community west of this place and connecting the farm homes with Chelsea, Stock bridge, Dansville, and other villages to the betterment of the business men. While in Dansville the past two weeks we saw those lines in active operation and could not help but notice the amount of business done over the lines. Farmers for several miles oat would order goods sent out by neighbors who had to go to town etc. They were somewhat slow in putting in phoneirbut where one has been in operation a few weeks no one would have them removed. Now the question is shall the citizens of Pinckney stand by and be outdone by sister villages? We have as good a farming community as anywhere in the state surrounding our borders and if we would hold their trade we must be progressive. It would cost something of course to get a rural line in the village, but once here there could be tound many subscribers for phones not only here but along the way.

With so much contagious disease about, great care should be taken in disposal of slop water and other refuse matter. It should not be thrown out near the well from which the family supply of drinking water is obtained, nor should it be thrown in any place where it can possibly drain back towards the well. This a small matter to look after, but care exercised in this particular may be the saving of many lives. Spring will soon be here and with it will come warm weather.

The sordid ransom give, and claim The dust of Washington! o e> t I • - e Early Selected for High Honors Although Col. Washington retired to a private station at Mount Vernon at - the close of the frontier warfare, he did not neglect his duties to the public. Still holding the office of adjutant-general of the militia, he circulated orders tor them to assemble at certain times -and places to be exerciaed and reviewed. So much were the inhabitants alarmed at the recent successes of the enemy, that their martial spirit received a new impulse, and volunteer companies began to be organised. 'Their ardor was stimulated from the pulpit and it was in a sermon to one "of these companies that the accomplished and eloquent Samuel Davies "pronounced the celebrated encomium in a single sentence, which has often been quoted as prophetic. After praising the zeal and courage which has .been shown by the Virginia troops, the preacher added: "As a remarkable instance of this, I may point out *o the public that heroic youth, Col. Washington, whom I cannot but hope Providence has hitherto preserved in BO signal a manner for some important service to his country." This was but the echo of the general voice, and it is a proof of the high estimation in -which the character of Washington -was at that time held by his countrymen, and of the hopes it had raised. P a t r i c k Henry's Worthy Tribute Mr. Wirt relates an anecdote of Washington which shows iu what estimation he was held by the members of the first Congress. Soon after Patrick Henry returned home, being asked ""whom he thought the greatest man 1n Congress," he replied, "If you speak of eloquence, Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina is by far the greatest orator; bat, if you speak of solid information .and sound judgment, Colonel Washlng- 'ton is unquestionably the greatest .man on that floor." Tnte opinion was verified by every act of his life. His iknowledge, on the subjects to which he gave his attention, was'most thorough and exact; and ill the world has agreed th3t no other man ha* given such proofs of the soundness of his judgment. whom he was married on the 6th of January, 1759. This lady was three months younger than himself, widow of John Parke Custis, and distinguished alike for her beauty, accomplishments and wealth. She was the daughter of John Dandridge. At the time of her second marriage she had two children, a son and a daughter, the former six years old, the latter four. Mr. Custis had left large landed estates in New Kent County, and forty-five thousands pounds sterling in money. One-third part of this property she held in her own right, the other twothlrdB being equally divided between her children. By this marriage an accession of more than one hundred thousand dollars was made to Col. Washington's fortune, which was already considerable in the estate at Mount Vernon, and other lands which he had selected during his surveying expeditions and obtained at different timee. To the management of his extensive private affairs his thoughts now turned. He also took upon himself the guardianship of Mrs. Washington's two children, and the care of their proper- JMrs. Washington's Noble Character In the course of the year following -the French arid Indian war. Col. Washington had pail his addresses •occ^sslu']," to }.!n. .".'-;:L-a. CustJs, to ty, which trust he discharged with all the faithfulness and assiduity of a father, till the son became of age, and till the daughter died in her nineteenth year. This union was in every respect felicitous. It continued forty years. To her intimate acquaintances and to the nation, the character of Mrs. Washington was ever a theme of praise. Affable and courteous, exemplary in her deportment, remarkable for her deeds of charity and piety, unostentatious and without vanity, she ado«*ncd by her domestic virtues the rphere of private life, and filled with dignity every station in which she waa placed.

The late Sir John Stalner, one of England's most celebrated musicians and composers, was once staying in a small Swiss village, and the KnglLrh clergyman was on the outlook for a musician to assist at the service. Stainer was In the office of the hotel when the clergyman found him, and started the conversation with, "Do you play the harmonium?" "A little," was the reply of the exorganist of St. Paul's cathedral. "Will you then, be good enough to help us out of our difficulty on Sunday? We will read the Psalms, and the hymns shall be the simplest I can select," added the delighted parson. "I will do my best," said Stainer, with a smile. The service proceeded satisfactorily, but the congregation at the close listened to a brilliant recital. When the parson heard the name of his assistant he asked him to dinner. "Do you smoke?" he asked at the close. "I will do my best," responded Stainer, and the ensuing laughter was the prologue of an entertaining erehange of Oxford reminiscences.—Youth's Companies.

Delicately formed and gently reared, wnrocn will find, in all the seasons of their lives, a&maidsor wives or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and which may be used with truly beneficial effects, under any conditions,when the system necd&a laxative—is— Syrup of Figs. It is well known to be a simple combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, which are agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired. Many of the ills from which women suffer are of a transient nature and do not eome from any organic trouble and it is pleasant to know that they yield so promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs, but when anything more than a laxative is needed it is best to consult the family physician and to avoid the old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nostrums of the present day. When one needs only to remove the strain, the torpor, the congestion, or similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condition of the system, use the true and gentle remedy- Syrup of Figs—and enjoy freedom from the depression, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which are due to inactivity of the bowels. Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs can hope to get its beneficial effects and as ft guarantee of the excellence of the remedy the full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package and without it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs is fraudulent and should be declined. To those who know the quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is always resented by a transfer of patronage to some first-class drug establishment, where they do not recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all reliable druggists everywhere at B0 cents per bottle. v; UMMJ^YRVP(9 • • * > ' v 3 MeidtildaJs M u t i n y 'By Sara Lindsay CoUman COPYRIGHT, 1902, BY DAILY STORY PUBLISHING COMl*ANY Folly Fox, who six months before had gladly left the village's ever increasing sisterhood of spinsters to become the wife of the Reverend Mr. Fox and mother to the little a n d big Foxes, said to her husband, as Matilda, tall and, trim, swung down the village street a t a pace that comes from streiptnt v -"-• r "It's plum scan'lous—she's got on a short sUirt an' her hair down her back. It's her birthday an' she ain't don^e a lick o' wor^to-da^D Jes' left it ajlfor her mar a n ' Mary. Sed she'd been slavin' ten year, sence she come home from college, a n ' she intended havin' a day off. They done a bad thing for her when they sent her to college. She got quare notions an* has flouted every man in the village. I don't reckon she'll flout any more." Matilda, left-the village behind her and plunged into a near wood. She flung herself full length on the ground and lay there motionless. Life had brought her nothing of what she had dreamed. There was a flash of moving color aml-a ^urst of song in-the-silent wood; below, the river roared and tumbled in its eager seaward rush. June lay on the wide, wonderful mountains—June, with its glory of color, its abundant young life; and the June time which lives in the souls of unwed women was in Matilda. The June time! It revolted at life and death in a country village; it scorned the spinsters with their sharp tongues, their sagging shoulders and sagging hips, their dullhued lives of toil. Suddenly Matilda got to her feet and began heaping up the earth into a mound; she worked industriously and when she tossed back the heavy braid of hair that had slipped over her shoulder she laughed—a reckless laugh. "It's almost amusing," she said. "If I were in the secret I am sure I would agree with you." The voice was not far off that had spoken the words. Matilda turned with the air of an insulted princess. The short skirt, the braided hair accentuated the youthful look. "This," she said, haughtily, "is a private wood." "And I am on a fence." was the calm reply, "and beyond is the king's highway." Matilda gave the stranger a grave looking over but he stood unflinchingly. . "The ceremony was about completed," she spoke more graciously, "the song comes next," She threw back her head and sang in a clear, fresh voice, "How tedious and tasteless the hours." Afr the end of the first line she stopped and laughed. "You are putting away the dolls and playthings of life?" the man asked. "I found that the dolls were sawdust and put them away twenty-five year3 ago." This in a disdainful tone. "What an ancient you are," said the man. "Yes," humbly. The man got down from t h e fence and came over to Matilda. "What did you bury there?" he asked, indicating the mound. "My youth," she spoke defiantly. "Ye gods!" the man burst into laughter. Matilda came a little nearer. "You are a southerner and a gentle- "What did you bury there?" man," she said. "I know from your voice and your eyes. I'm celebrating. It's my birthday. At first I wept You should have seen the glances that followed me down the street. I know hew their tongues wagged when they saw my hair down my back; they all know tnat I am thirty." "Well," said the man, "what If you are! I've known women of thirty who were much nicer than whlte-mustlned, blue-ribboned, giggling girls." "Out there." with a comprehensive sweep of. her hand that took^in the world beyond the blue circle of mountains; "here," she pointed to the village church spire that cut t h e blue reach of sky, "a woman's life ends at thirty, if she's unwed. She is a personal grievance to every man and woman in the village, and as long as there's breath in her body they feel responsible for her and try to marry her off. It's bad enough when a new man comes into the community; it's shivery when a man's left a widowerToh, how I hate widowers!" She made a gesture of despair. "You might try suicide," the man suggested. "I've thought of it," said Matilda, darkly. BEAUTIFUL "We have had to-day." They looked at each other. The sun filtering through the tree3 flung coins of gold at their feet. "It's my birthday," the man spoke slowly. "We might celebrate together; we might have one last day of youth." A sudden wistfulness shone in Matilda's eyes, but she shook her head. "It would be the one delicious, isolated impropriety of your life." She looked at him doubtfully. "You've let the band go down the other street all your days?" "Yes," pensively. "You have done the things you hate and left undone the things you'd love to do." "How did you know?" she asked. He trampled the grave she had made —the grave that held her youth and pointed to the water below, where a boat rocked softly. "Come," he said. Matilda moved slowly from him in the direction of the church spire. "The music," murmured the man impressively, "is going down the other street." "Where are we going?" asked Matilda. She had stepped into the boat. "To a land of mutual discovery," he said gayly. "It leads through winding paths; perhaps it returns to the level; pprhaps it goes to the heights " Matilda's heart had leaped to her throat at the look he gave her. It was a strange proceeding for so aged a heart that had put aside all youthful follies. The boat moved slowly; the river swept away into the forest's depths. Their laughter was the spontaneous laughter of two who find content in each other's presence; their silence held no estrangement. A purple mist settled on the blue mountains that belted the distance; from some near hill, a milkmaid's call floated. The knowls above them were massed in bloom. A deep sweet happiness filled the woman's soul. It was but just that life out of its fullness should have given her this one last day of youth. The boat turned homeward. The sun, a ball of fire, was dropping behind a far mountain peak. It was dragging her off to a dream country from which she would wake in a shiver. Alas, that from dreams the dreamers awake. But the boat crept on—in the perfumed gloom the laurel crowned hills were white. It was still a dream. A school girl dream come true. A castle built on lonely evenings when the wind had shivered and the thoughts were long, long thoughts—a castle turned to gleaming marble. The boat touched the landing. For an instant the man felt the pressure of her light weight; then she stood beside him on the river bank. "Good-by." said Matilda. She held out her hand; her eyes had a strange sweetness—the sweetness of a joy relinquished at birth, laid reverently away with her one day of youth. "Good-by," she faltered, "it grows late." "Good-by?" the man said, puzzled. Then he laughed down into her eyes, "Good-by until tomorrow." "We have had to-day," said Matilda. "And will have to-morrow." The man's boat shot out into the stream. Matilda climbed the hill that led to the village—the dreary village. And in the west where the day was fast dying the star that comes first to VM waiting sky glowed.

One of Lord Rosebery's characteristics is a love of exact knowledge. When he first became foreign minister, his familiar acquaintance with the personages and personal history of all the reigning families of Europe, their ministers and other functionaries, was found to be so minute that his associates found him more convenient to consult than the "Almanach de Gotha." There is a story that one of his first acts i n the foreign office was to send for Sir Edward Hertslet, chief of the treaty department, and ask- him bluntly: "What is a protocol?" He knew, of course, what a protocol is, but what he wanted was a scientific account oi it from the highest authority. T h e H a n d s o m e s t Calendar o f t h e Season.

The 5.664.811 passengers carried over Santa F e system lines the last fiscal year traveled in the aggregate 514,037,- 047 miles or a little more than 90 miles per passenger. Considering the fact that so many made long trips to California the percentage of "short-trippers" must have been quite large to bring the average down to less than a hundred. It has been found that editors' journeys average only 50 miles, which fact effectually disposes of the musty joke about newspaper men riding on passes to save board bills.

An Oakland county man was found dead this week with his head in a small stream, and the coroner's jury could notdecide whether he was drowned or suffocated. A post mortem examination showed that his stomach contained a quart of whiskey, and in view of this fact, the jury could well have decided that the man was drowned. W. C • 7. U- \ Edited by the W. C.

Idfo U t r i N l a Character indeed is written plainly enough on the faces one meets in daily life. Some speak of tragedy, some of comedy, and not a few g i v e you a distinct warning. Even a ride in a street car or a short railway journey gives proof of this fact. Look around you* Those twe strangers opposite you never s a w before, yet you know that one is passionate, t h e other mean, and your heart warms to the little oki lady near by. You want no one to assure you she is kind and gentle, while a whole network of wrinkles about t b e eyes t d l s you that the old gentleman in the corner loves his joke. Strange how quick we are to read oui neighbor's face and how slow to realize that our own is open for him to read!. Yet it is. The story is there, and w e are writing it every day of oui lives. Not only do smiles and frowns leave traces, but every passion which s w a y s the heart stamps its record upon the fape. T o m e Mountain Legend.

If a tree is girdled by mice, it usually dios. If, howevT, as soon as the injury is noticed, the wound is cleaned und covered .with grafting wax and wrapped with cloth so that the nir is excluded and the wooii prevented from drying out, the sap which rises through the soft wood will continue to do so. and, returning through the inner bark, growth will be made all around the upper part of tho wound. and if the latter is not too largo there is a chance o:' its healing over. If, however, the wood becomes dry before the bandage is p u t on. it will almost certainly die. When tho wax and bandage are applied, the tree should be headed- baeic considerably to lessen the amount of transpiration of moisture, as there will not be as much sap rise as if the tree wore uninjured. Girdled trees arc sometimes saved by connecting the upper and lower edges of the girdle with scions, which are inserted all around the trunk. Mice may be destroyed iu the orchard by using a mixture of one part by weight of arsenic with three parts, of cornmeal. To use this safely nail two pieces of board each six feet long and six inches wide together so as to make a trough. Invert this near the trees to be protected and place about a tablespoonful of the poison ou a shingle and put it near the middle of the run, renewing the poison as often as is necessary.—W. T.

There are districts in Italy where people live entirely on chestnuts. They live to a placid old age. Lord Rosslyn's system didn't work at Monte Carlo, but wait till he attacks ping pong with it. The very best thing that can be said about the benefactions of Russel Sage is that he is a modest giver.

A few pages of "straight front" ads would also make the Congressional Record desirable and help out its pay roll. If moral suasion will not induce the Indian to cut his hair he should be allowed to continue in the error of his way. A Boston undertaker has written an emotional novel in which the heroine frequently buries her face in her hands. In the case of. Gen.

It is proposed to make Paris a seaport, and we have no objection even if the French conclude to use their great Panama canal for the purpose. Dr. Parkhurst has decided that immortality is not to be general. A few privileged souls' will succeed in getting to the front, just as they do on earth.

Our inventors have something tc learn from the Belgian who has invented a motor-car which runs sideways. The King will not have a "court jester" at the coronation. Official poetry has not been enough of a suecess to warrant experiments in official humor. A St. Louis teacher of Spanish has been fined $28 for kissing one of his young lady pupils, and she is probably mad at the jury for not placing a higher valuation upon it. French soldiers may be fitted out with American cartridge belts. When a foreign nation wants the best of anything it is often obliged to call up tht Yankee peril and place an order.

The Octroi' F.tmueier is >'ow Up Against the Real Thin*—The Grand ItapicU Bribery Case Enlivened by Mrs. Garman' 8 Testimony Frank. C. Andrews reached the oinl 01' his free career Saturday, ami after hours ot . desperate efforts to secure bondsmen on the second warrant issued aginst hliu was lodged in a cell at the county jail shortly before in o'clock Saturday night, at last on a level with the common herd of criminals. For hours after the bank wrecker was leg-all} incarcerated within the four walls of Sheriff Dickson's stone apartment house, enough of his quondam prestige- r^iuuiuwl_to ^ave him from the indignity of a cell. His short sojourn in the luxurious family apartments of Sheriff Dickson, with book* and pictures, savored little of compulsory detention. Inserted In his extremity by many of his former friends, and. left by Hiose-iir-n--position to serve him. to x\w imiuedtiate vengeance of the law. it remained for tiie law's representative, the sheriff, to keep him for a few short hours from the disgrace of a felon's cell. As the result of this consideration the afternoon's fruitless quest for bondsmen was continued throughout the evening, but though ex-Sheriff Hauley was ready to go on the prisoner's bond, another signer was not forthcoming, ami at P;.~5 o'clock the Nuisoleon of finance was placed behind tlie bars. If convicted on the complaint under which vhe is incarcerated. Andrews might be sent to Jackson for 20 years. Itumors on Oris wold street are per sistem that if F. C. Andrews would talk he could make some revelations that would prove most unpleasant to some financial institutions, and the opinion was expressed that some of the banks holding the certified checks with which Andrews took up the collateral last week will have to stand the loss It is even stated that one or two of the institutions knew at the time they held these checks over that there wcrv no funds to Mr. Andrews' credit in the City bank with which to pay them. Cashier Henry li. Andrews, of the City Savings bank, is still confined to his home by illness, although he is said to be much improved. It is probable that the first warrant against him will be returned Monday, and bail fixed. Prosecutor Hunt is. dissatisfied with the .$ltM><H> bail bond arranged by Henry H. Andrews' attorney. A second warrant, similar to the second warrant agianst Frank C. Andrews, will probably be sworn out and this will require additional bail. The total bail will probably be fixed.at $2">.<XH).

She is the wife of Onrman. the promotor. and testitied to having helped her husband raise money. She came to Oraml Rapids in August. With1 McOarry. Cameron and Oarman shv took dinner at the Lakeside Club on the night o r her arrival. During the conversation at dinner she said Mr. McOarry said that he considered the deal a very clean, pretty one for tlw city. "Then, when w<» went into th:- main dining hall." continued Mrs. Oarman, "we discussed the inadvisability of putting up $1<)0.<HH) without any security. I said that I thought i t ' w a s absurd 'for our parties to have to put up $HM).MM) without even a scratch of a pen to show for it. and Mr. McOarry told me that it was a very common occurrence for such a tiling to b> done." In answer to a question as to who s']«ckc of Mayor Perry first, she said siie did. "I think I said, in disposing of the Slfw.doo that I knew Mayor Perry was going to have a large amount, and that I knew how much he was to bare and that was .S-HMHH). and Mr. MeOarry said yes." The prosecution is nenring the clos ing of the case, .-is (Jarman and Mac- Leod are the only witnesses to be called to complete the testimony. Mr. W<vnl exptK-ts to recall these witm>s-se< for re-direct examination, but as both of them are confined to Ihe-'ir rooms by sickness it is uncertain just when they '-•11 be in condition to take the stand when thr reading of the Taylor testimony is completed. A 'Wretched Man. Henry Ponick. a wild uwu from near Dalton, was brought to Muskegon Thursday, and bis arrival caused a sensation in the county jail. Ponick has been terrorizing the people around Dalton, threatening many lives. He is between 50 and 00 years old, has long, thin hair hanging over his face and down his back. He has no home, and when he was brought here, was covered with about !l<) pounds of old rags, consisting of five shirts, two pairs of pants, one lKilr of overalls, two vests, one undercoat, and two overcoats. The man was placed in the bath tub, in water as hot as he could stand it, and for over three hours two of the prisoners worked over him, before ho could be pronounced clcam An entire new cuttit was purchased for.him. and he was placed in a cell, but at onet> knocked the bunks down, tore U!> the bed clothes, and he had to be placed in a padded cell.

The Schley Cane. The Washington Post says: Concerning the conference of the president with the Republican leaders of the house and senate at the White Houstt to-day that one of the chief topics under discussion was the Schley case-. As the result of the conference, it is said, the president will not undertake to discuss, in his review any of the events which occurred prior to the battle of Santiago, on the ground that if Schely's conduct was reprehensible, it was condoned by the navy department and by President McKinley when fckddey'^-promotion w a s r e t u r n mended. As for the battle of Santiago, the president is inclined to the opinion, according to his visitors, that the victory was won by all the captainn, and that credit cannot, therefore, l>e given exclusively to Schley, although the latter acted courageously and with the Oregon succeeded In preventing the escape/ of the Colon. The president Is anxious that his disposition of the case should not be followed by. action in congress. Speaker Henderson was able to assure the president that legislation could be blocked in the- house, but it was pointed out to him by the senators that the situation In he senate was different. A Mormon War. "Mormons now politically control seven states. They are colonizing in others, and openly* boast that if congress does not act against them this year they will gain control of six other states and make intervention in congress an impossibility.

It was none of his funeral, a n y way, and if on the morrow the good people of Gautarica woko up under another dynasty, why that was their lookout.

Could that mean duties, too?" Would he be expected to sally forth and join in the game of hide and seek, of shooting at one who wore the rival colors, whether in arms or endeavoring to escape? He guessed not. Still he dared not go to sleep—who would care to do so when a volcano was In eruption all around?—and the night gradually wore away. The clamor died away a dozen times, only to break out afresh. At last, dawn. Jack Overton was jolly glad to see it arrive through the little window. He devoutly prayed he might not pass another such night for a long time to come. Somehow, he could not but speculate as to the complexion of the new dynasty, and what effect, if any, the change might have on his fortunes. Then came a heavy rap on the door —a rap he knew full well could proceed from no other than Barrajo. So Overton, pipe still in hand, stepped over to the door and opened it. He had no sooner done so than a mighty cheer went up from more than two ic.orc of throats. Jack stared in amazement, for he realized that the whole army of the republic was represented in that double line of shouting and gesticulating troops, soirte of them barefooted, others most gorgeously appareled, and all carrying arms. General Barrajo stood there, smiling and bowing. To say that Overton was surprised, would be expressing it mildly—he could not for the life of him understand why the general wanted to marshal his ragtag and bobtail army before his little domicile in order to tell him who was "in" and who was "out" at the palace. To Barrajo he must look for an explanation, and when a wave of that hero's sword again brought silence upon the scene, Jack hastened td ask: "What does this mean, general?" "They want a speech, Senor Overton —it is customary." "Then why don't you give it to them?" "Por Dios! It is not Barrajo they wish to hear. Every day I make them a speech and swear at them in six languages. It is you, senor, you alone, they clamor to hear." "Good heavens! why should I address- your old army?" demanded Jack, aghast, and with growing uneasiness. "Because, Senor Overton, you have been appointed to rule over us—last night you ceased to be a plain citizen and became the President of Gautarica Republic!" C H A P T E R X I . Jack Moves On t h e Palace. You could almost have knocked Jack Overton down with a feather when he heard Barrajo make this astounding declaration—'in fact he was tempted to pinch himself, in order to discover whether he were awake or sleeping. It was not Jack's habit to appear distressed— whether the announcement were a huge canard, or given in dead earnest, he did not mean these men of Gautarica should see him staggered, BO he quickly pulled himself together and, laughing, said: "Ah! indeed! Thank you for the honor, but tell me, how did this little event transpire?" "In the natural course of events, your excellency. The noble army had grown weary of Roblado, whose promises of reform were never kept. They liked Montejo no better, and, as usual, elected me dictator, with the power to choose thoir next President" A wave of the sword brought out another blast of cheers and whistles and vivas—then silence. It was wonderful. ., , "But, see here. I am a n alien!" protested Jack, weakly. . ^ "Not so-^you have boon a full-fledged citin »n of vthe repuhttc for two days. a a \ a3 such, cs eltgJbU t o t h e presidency as any man among us," declared the general, smiling blandly. "Then I can't decline?" dubiously. "It is too late—presidents die and run away, but they never decline." "Well, in that case, I might as well make the best of a bad bargain and go in. Only I warn you, general, I shall really be the president, and the reforms you have heard me speak of must engage our immediate attention." Now, few men could have adapted themselves to the situation in that masterly manner! "Are you ready to take the oath of office?" "At any time," was the nonchalant reply. Some people might have thought such a solemn ceremony necessitated pomp *ndV fuH-drefis—they might even have been horrified at the sight of the new president standing in his shirt sleeves within the doorway of his adobe domicile, with his pipe between his teeth, holding up his right hand and repeating in Spanish the oath of office, which Barrajo uttered for perhaps the thirteenth time in his longheld capacity aa dictator. Thus it was done. The general called for a farewell round of cheers, and they were given with as much good will as the husky and parched throats that had been in positive evidence all night could muster. Then tho rabble betook- itself off, much to Jack's relief, the general not forgetting to give the highly entertaining military salute due to the exalted office his friend and protege now occupied. Having once embarked upon the sea of adventure, Jack had become quite reckless as to what port he brought up at. There was at least a chance that this astonishing change in his fortunes might mean a material advance in the line of his dream, for he had never yet heard of a president of a Central American republic who had not managed by some means or other, fair or foul, to amass wealth by virtue of his position. Book T w o . Thfi M o d e r n A r j j o u n a t * . Two years had flown since Senor Jack was duly installed in office as president of the republic—such a period Gautariea had never seen before, and would hardly witness again in the next decade. It would be impossible to narrate the many successes and failures Jack made during those two years, nor shall I attempt it, since more important events await our attention. About the only cloud in Jack's sky was Dona Juanita, who had become passionately enamored of him. Barlajo, who dearly desired to see him settled down, advised him to m a n y her, and cast his fortunes for all time with the people of his adoption. Whereupon Jack felt compelled to narrate the whole story of his past, and Barrajo was so affected by it that he fell upon his nock and wept tears of sympathy, generous old soul that ho was. But Barrajo was fearful of the revenge Dona Juanita might take if her love were openly repulsed, and finallyconfided to Jack the plan he had for the advancement of their fortunes. Briefly It was this: When Cortez, with fire and sword, scourged the fair land of the Montezumas to the north, and his savage soldiers dealt out death with a lavish hand whenever the people failed to respond to their stern orders for more treasure, a reign of terror had swept over the whole of Mexico. Then it was that thousands fled to the unknown southland, led by their priests, seeking new homes amid the forest-clad wilderness of Central America. Since the object of Cortez's brutal soldiers' decree was to gain possession of what riches the country possessed, these guardians of the temples, before indulging in flight, despoiled them of the golden images and jewel-studded altars, which vast treasures they carried with them, determined that, come what might, these bearded barbarians from over the sea should not succeed in accomplishing their boasted object. History tells of the wonderful booty secured by the Spanish conquistadors; indeed, the imagination is appalled at the extent of the riches they secured. In Peru, the people, hoping to ransom their captive Inca, Atahuallpa, from the cruel hands of Plzarro, had readily filled a room seventeen feet square and as high as a man could reach with gold in the shape of Ingots and statues from the temples and palaces, and history likewise declares that the quantity of treasure conveyed away and concealed forever from the covetous eyes of the Europeans "was said to have Infinitely surpassed that which they had secured." As in Peru, so it was alto In Mexico, richest ot all t h e native countries of the now world-—there fugitive priests carried with them to the new land to the south probably the most astounding collection of treasure ever gathered together since t h e world began. This was the bee that for years had buzzed in the bonnet of old General Barrajo—he had never let it get out of his mind day or night in all that time. "And, Senor Jack," he now declared, triumphantly, slapping the president familiarly on t h e back, "success has crowned my long search. Yes, por Dlos, senor, I believe I have found the treasure." C H A P T E R X I I . A Sentinel of t h e Centuries. When he heard what General Barrajo had to say Jack Overton found some difficulty in restraining his delight. Should this enormous fortune fall into their hands how his sanguine dreams would be realized, and what wonderful things be could accomplish. Barrajo disclosed a rude parchment map, supposed to have been drawn by an Indian many scores of years before. Overton, with that readiness characteristic of the enterprising American, at once made a duplicate copy of the same. mmm* C O * O R IE S S . In t h e house Wednesday aTterflOoir *»«*» T§f of • *bll»<uiphjn Wi Then they talked over the wonderful matter in a most serious way, arranging their plans even down to the most minute details. The crisis was coming none too soon, Jack concluded, for unless something happened to get him out of the country there must presently be an explosion. He had feared It of late, for Dona Juanita was beaming love upon him every time they met, and from more than one quarter he found black looks bent upon him by the jealous-minded young gallants of San Juan. Many a conqueror of kingdoms has met his fate finally through the vengeful hand of a woman whose love he has treated lightly. , Overton cursed the hour when he first saw this dark-eyed houri luring her two rivals to meet in deadly combat so that the public ball might wind up in its usual blaze of glory. Here then came old Barrajo, just in the nick of time, it seemed, with a grand project which, if successful, would open up an avenue of escape. Thus Overton was doubly anxious to make a start, having so much at stake. The general declared two days would be quite sufficient to make all his preparations, for he believed in being adequately armed and equipped for any emergency. It was a moonlight night when they set out, and as usual San Jose was given up to music and merry making. Our two fortune hunters waited UUT til near the noon of night, when the hot time in the old town had in a measure subsided, and then, suitably disguised so as to conceal their exalted personality from curious eyes, quitted the capital, where the electric lights still glowed and announced the presence of modern institutions. When the two men left San Jose and plunged into the interior they did not know their movements had been closely watched, and that immediate pursuit was given, yet such was the case. Evidently others there were who suspected Barrajo's wonderful plans for fortune's favors and meant to take a bid in the same quarter. Perhaps it would grow interesting before the end was reached, especially since the two adventurers carried plenty of arms and were grimly resolved to fight for the prize if it came to that point. Barrajo soon left the main trail, and they were now traversing what had once been a path through the primeval _forest. but was so overgrown with swinging vines that the keen machete of the general was. kept swinging most of the time in order to hack out a passage. Which would naturally make it an easy matter for those who followed to keep upon their trail. Our two adventurers traveled all day, and at sunset camped for very necessary rest and refreshment. After a hasty meal, only carrying their arms and a pick and shovel between them, to be used in emergencies, they advanced in the direction Barraju uad marked out. His reasoning was sound. If Jack doubted it at first, he was presently convinced that the general had built wisely. •Madre de Dlos! Look, Senor Jack!" suddenly exclaimed the dictator, starting back, and pointing to Borne object beyond. The white moonlight sifted through the tangled masses of tropical verdure above, and at that particular moment fell full upon what appeared to be a human form, bent partly over in a devotional attitude, and facing the rising moon. Jack was startled a t first, b u t seeing no motion to the figure, which was partly covered by the wild undergrowth, he realized that it was a rude statue, carved to represent a sun-worshiper and placed there hundreds of years ago by those who fled from the Spanish reign of terror to the-north. They approached closer, and marveled to find this image apparently of silver. „ (To Be Continued.) ^ the motion to recommit the. oleomargarine bill w n s lopt, 117 to 101, and the bill then was passed wluiout division. - , The amendment to the bill providing for the inspection and branding of renovated or process butter was adopted. Under the agreement made last week the remainder of the day was devoted to the consideration of bills from tho committee on war claims. An increase of the salary of the minister to Persia from $5,000 to $7,000 wan recommended by the senate committee on foreign relations. A definite understanding has been reached by the. river and harbor committee that the river and harbor bill now approaching completion shall be kept down to about $00,000,000, the amount carried by the measure framed and defeated last year. Itepresentative Corliss made his first argument on his bill which provides for the laying of a government cable from San Francisco to Manila. Mr. Corliss has divided the different aspects of the situation into six chapters, to be argued upon from dny to day. in the battle he will wage against congress yielding any concessions to cable monopolies, notably t h e Commercial ("able Co.. controlled by t h e Maekay- Bennett torches. The house passed the bill to provide ^T^thp—prtynient of the-etetos-of--con-- federate officers and soldiers, whose horses, side arras and baggage were taken from them by union soldiers contrary to the terms of the surrender of Lee and Johnson's armies. Th« amount to be paid under the bill wa.-» limited to $50,000. H3' a unanimous roll cult no vote beins taken, the house passed Corliss' joint resolution for an amendment to the constitution to have the senators elected by direct vote of the people. Chances are understood to be slim for tho resolution getting through the senate. The diplomatic and consular appropriation bill now completed by the house committee on foreign affairs carries a bout • $1,900,000, a small increase over last year. A new United States legation, building at Pekin is provided, to cost $«0,000. The Indian appropriation bill now completed carries $8.844.500.

Cntehnc M t o * A Philadelphia woman who <H*ttk«* both cats and mice haa» discovered a novel substitute for one as a n exterminator of the other. This substitute Is nothing more nor less than an ordinary land tortoise. Ever since last summer, when t h e tortoise was added to the family circle by the woman's youngest son, aged 9. she has noticed that t h e mice, with which t h e house had previously been overrun, were gradually disappearing. It was not until the other day, however, that she discovered tho cause. She was sitting very quietly with some fancy work, and the tortoise, which has the liberty of the bouse, was apparently asleep i n a corner. Presently a Httle mouse made its appearance, and the tortoise opened its beady eyes. Round and round ran the mouse, getting nearer and nearer the tortoise as though fascinated. Finally it was within striking distance. The tortoise darted out its head, there was a snap of the Jaws, a tiny little squeak, and the mouse was dead. Then the tortoise calmly and deliberately set to work, says the Philadel-- phia Record, to eat its victim. K n l H e r ' s Y a c h t A r r i v e * . The German imperial yacht IToheiizollern. commanded by Admiral Count You Baudissin. arrived unex- I>cctedly at New York Wednesday afternoon, a day ahead of her schedule. When she sailed from ST. Thomas on Saturday last cable advices stated rhat she would proceed to Bermuda. and after a stay of a d-ay or so in that port proceed to the Tinted States. Her non-arrival at Bermuda otvasioued some apprehension that she had met with heavy weather, but it was said that the entire voyage had been smooth witli the extvption that ther.' was a strong westerly gale Tuesday. The project for a magnificent new hotel at Kalamazoo has fallen through. A M U S E M E N T S I X O E T R O I T WEEK KNDINli F E B . 21.

An Interesting Meeting Held at Howell, Feb. 21-22, The State farmers institute for this county was held in the court house on the above dates and It seemed that the weather bureau did its share to make the meeting a success although the going was somewhat against it. The crowd was large from start to finish and much enthusiasm manifested. The meeting was opened by president on the needs of the farmer and how best to accomplish best results. The first paper was by W. H . Gilbert on "My experience in growing and handling sugar beets." The raising of the su- -gax-beethas -weaderf-ttUy increased during the past few years, especially in the State of Michigan. I will tell you something of Putnam Township In It.

Next tall will occur the electien for state senators, and as it is conceded by Genesee county that Livingston county is entitled to the nomination this year for senator of the thirteenth district, we thought it high time that PutBam-townahip came to the front with a man for the place.

Plowing should be at least 8 inches in depth and the top should be thoroughly pulverized, not too deep but tiue, should run over a float, after the float the drill then roll; seed should not be over f inches deep and A inch is better. As soon as you can see the'rows start the cultivator: if ground is crusted it will not do any harm to use the harrow or weeder going crosswise of the row. Use plenty of seed. As soon as the beet puts out four leaves thorough weeding and thinning must be done—do not leave but one beet in the place—rows should be 18 or 20 inches and beets not less than 7 or 8 inches apart in the row. After beet gets up b' or 7 inches would go through with the hoe taking out ail weeds—there should be no weeds or grass in the row—it is easy to kill grass and weeds while smalt. Cultivate shallow until the second or third time then once cultivate deep returning to shallow cultivators after that. ! When harvesting they should not lay on j the ground auy length of time, if I could j not have a c;»r at once would put in pits with not less than a car-load to the pit. If i you have to wait any length of time would ' cover pit with a little earth—about 1 inch —then after the sweating process cover with straw followed by 6" or 7 inches of j earth and they will keep until March, I i prefer waiting until the factory is ready for mv beets than try to get them to the factory too early. It costs about $0 or $7 per acre to get beets topped and put into rows. I would seperate help somewhat as you can get better work. I use wood ashes as fertilizer. Salt is good. Fertilizer should be rich in potash. It costs about 7 or 8 tons per acre to raise beets and all over that amount is profit. I use 7 or 8 tons of leached ashes per acre. Beets will grow and produce sugar on any kind of ground. Much ground must be plowed and rolled time and again until thoroughly packed so that the root will go deep. Never put them on ground with quick.saud bottom. Do uot think that raising beets is as hard on ground us potatoes. When beets are ripe the outside leaves will drop and turn yellow. Would not sow beets more than two years; believe iu rotation of crop. The beet industry goes hand in hand with the dairy. The beet pulp is «u excellent feed for milch cows. Would keep the pulp in silo. The pulp is also a good feed for lambs. I sincerely believe that if legislation — does not intervene to injure the industry inside of 10 years Michigan will have 100 factories instead of 13 as at present. If the factories get to disposing of their bi. proceeds the price of sugar beets will rise or the price of sugar will come down. What kind of a horse does the farmer want and how to get it, was the next paper by Chas. E . Beurman. Farmer does not want the big coach horse, the horse that weighs 1150 ar 1200 is big enough. If necessary use three in heavy work. Let those who wish to raise race horses do so but the farmer better let 'em alone—it is expensive business. Would rather break the colt at one year old, get them use to noise around the stable.

Much time had been spent in the training of those who took part and it should have been better patronized, especially by the friends ot the societies baving it in charge. There was much that was new and novel, and the little folks and young people did their parts nicely and are entitled to praise. The only drawback was that there was not help enough to assist in the changes and it took to long between parts, Mrs. Scoville has worked hard to make it a sue ess, and as an entertainment it was certainly a success, In The Justice Court.

I* th* Bomtn Amphitheater* to Those In Which the Chrls- Wlttastands the Assaults of the .Tempter—Words of PauL ^Copyright, 1502, Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, Feb. 23.—This discourse of Dr. Talmage is full of inspiring thoughts for those who find life a struggle and shows that we have many celestial sympathizers'; texts, Hebrews s i i , 1, "Seeing we also are compassed « b o u t with so great a cloud of witn e s s e s ; " I Corinthians xv, 32, "I have fought with beasts at Ephesus." Crossing the Alps by the Mont Cenis pass or through the Mont Cenis tunnel, you are in a few hours set down At Verona, Italy, and in a few minutes begin examining one of the grandest ruins of the world, the Amphitheater. "The whole building sweeps around you i n a circle. You stand in the arena where the combat was once fought or the race run, and on all sides the seats rise, tier above tier, until you count forty elevations or galleries, as I shall s e e fit to call them, in which sat the senators, the kings and the 25,000 excited spectators. At the sides of the arena and under the galleries are the cages where the lions and tigers are kept without food until, frenzied with atuager and thirst, they are let out up- -on. some poor victim, who, with his - sword and alone, is condemned to meet -them. I think that Paul himself once stood in such a place and that it was not omly figuratively, but literally, that he had "fought with beasts at Ephesus." The gala day has come. From all the world the people are pouring into^ Verona. Every place is filled. Immensity of audience sweeping the great circle. Silence. The time for the contest h a s come. A Roman official leads forth t h e victim into the arena. Let him get h i s sword with firm grip into his right hand. The 25,000 sit breathlessly watching. I hear the door at the side of the arena creak open. Out plunges the half starved lion, his tongue athlrst for Mood, and with a roar that brings all t h e galleries to their feet he rushes against the sword of his combatant. iEk> you know how long a stroke a man will strike when his life depends upon the first thrust of his blade? The wild beast, lame and bleeding, slinks back toward the side of the arena; then rallying his wasted strength he c o m e s up with fiercer eye and more terrible roar than ever, only to be driven back with a fatal wound, while t h e combatant comes in with stroke after stroke until the monster is dead a t his feet, and-the 25,000 clap their 'hands and utter a shout that makes .the city tremble. I T o one of the Roman amphitheatri- •ral audiences of 100,000 people Paul refers when he says, "We are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses." The direct reference in t h e last passage is made to a race; but elsewhere having discussed that, I take now Paul's favorite idea of the Christ i a n life as a combat. t "The fact Is that every Christian m a n has a lion to fight. Yours is a bad temper. You have been thrown b y It time and again, but in the strength of God you have arisen to drive it back. I verily believe you will conquer. I think that the temptation is getting weaker and weaker. ~ToaThavengiven it so many wounds t h a t the prospect is that it will die, a n d you shall be the victor, through ^Christ Courage, brother! Do not let t h e sands of the arena drink the blood of your soul! I Your lion is the passion for strong drink. You may have contended against it for twenty years; but it is strong of body and thirsty of tongue. T a k e this weapon, sharp and keen— reach up and get it from Gods armory — t h e sword of the Spirit. With that "thou may est drive him back and conq u e r ! « But why specify when every man 'and woman has a lion to fight? If 'there be one here who has no besetting sin, let him speak out, for him have I offended. If you have not fought the * lion. It is because you have let the lion eat you up. This very moment the contest goes on. The Trajan celebrai, tlon, where 10,000 gladiators fought "and 11,000 wild beasts were slain, was 'for the life of the body; this is for the ;ltfe of the soul. That was with wild beasts from the jungle; this is with . t h e roaring lion of hell. ~* Men think, when they contend -against an evil habit, that they have "H© fight it all alone. No! They stand •in the center of an immense circle of :sympathy. Paul had been reciting the names of Abel Enoch. Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac. Joseph; Gideon and Barak and then says "Being compassed about (With so great a cloud of witnesses." On the first elevation of the ancient raaaph 1theater, on the day of a celebra- ~Uon, sat Tiberius or Augustus or the reigning king. So in the great arena <ot spectators that watch pur struggles —aasVln the first divine gallery, as I shaH caH 4t» sits our King, one Jesus. O n his head are many crowns. The Roman e m W o c g o i t h V . plate $ V cold blooded conquest*) butfc>utjt;ag hath come, tp his place by the broken hearts healed and the tears wiped away and the souls redeemed. The Roman emperor sat, with folded arms, indifferent as to whether the swordsman or the |ion beat, but our King's sympathies are all with us—nay, unheard of condescension! I see him come down from the gallery into the arena to help us in the fight, shouting until all up and down his voice is heard: "Fear not! I will help thee! I will strengthen thee by the right hand of my power!" I look again, and I see the angelic gallery. There they are—the angel that swung the sword at the gate of Eden, the same that Ezekiel saw upholding tile throne of God, and from which I look away, for the splendor is insufferable. Here are the guardian angels. That one watched a patriarch; this one protected a child; that one has been pulling a soul out of temptation! All these are messengers of light! Those drove the Spanish armada on the rocks. This turned Sennacherib's living hosts into a heap of 185,000 corpses. Those yonder chanted the Christmas carol oyer BethTeh~em~until the chant awoke the shepherds. And there, holier and mightier than all, is Michael, the archangel. To command an earthly host gives dignity, but this one is leader of the 20,000 chariots of God and of the ten thousand times ten thousand angels. I think v God gives command to the archangel, and the •archangel to the seraphim, and the seraphim to the cherubim, until all the lower orders of heaven hear the command and go forth on the high behest. Now bring on your lions! Who can fear? All the spectators in the angelic gallery are our friends. Though the arena be crowned with temptations, we shall, with the angelic help, strike them down in the name of our God and leap on their, fallen carcasses! O bending throng of bright angelic faces and swift wings and lightning foot, I hail you to-day from the dust and struggle of the arena! I look again, and I see the gallery of the prophets and apostles. Who are those mighty ones up yonder? Hosea and Jeremiah and Daniel and Isaiah and Paul and Peter and John and James. There sits Noah, waiting for all the world to come into the ark, and Moses, waiting till the last ked sea shall divide, and Jeremiah, waiting for the Jews to return, and John of the apocalypse, waiting for the swearing of the angel that time shall be no longer. Glorious spirits! Ye were howled at, ye were stoned, ye were spit upon! They have been in this fight themselves, and they are all with us. Daniel knows all about lions. Paul fought with beasts at Ephesus. I look again, and I see the gallery or the martyrs. Who is that? Hugh Latimer, sure enough! He would not apologize for the truth he preacned, and so he died, the night before swinging from the bedpost in perfect glee at the thought of emancipation. Who is that army of 6,666? They are the Thebaft legion who died for the faith. Here Is a larger host In magnificent array, 884,000, who perished for Christ in the persecutions of Diocletian. Yonder is a family group, Felicitas of Rome and her children. While they were dying for the faith she stood encouraging them. One son was whipped to death by thorns; auother was flung from a rock; another was beheaded. At last the mother became a martyr. There they are together, a family group in heaven! Yonder is John Bradford, who said in the fire. "We shall have a merry supper with the Lord to-night!" Yonder is Henry Voes. who exclaimed as he died, "If I had ten heads, they should all fall off for Christ!" The great throng of the martyrs! They had hot lead poured down their throats; horses were fastened to their hands and other horses to their feet, and thus they were pulled apart; they had their tongues pulled out by redhot pinchers: they were sewed up in the skins of animals and then thrown to the dogs; they were daubed with combustibles and set on fire! If all the martyrs' stakes that have been kindled could be set at proper distances, they would make the midnight all the world over bright as noonday! And now they sit yonder in the martyrs' gallery. For them the fires of persecution have gone out; the swords are sheathed and the mob hushed. Now they watch us with an all observing sympathy. They know all the pain, all the injustice all the privation. They cry: "Courage! The fire will not consume; the floods cannot drown; the lions cannot devour. Courage down there in the arena!" What? Are they all looking? This hour we answer back the salutation they give, and cry. "Hail, sons and daughters of the Are!" I look again and I see another gallery— that of eminent Christians. What strikes me strangely is the mixing in companionship of those who on earth could not agree. There I s (Albert Barnes and around him the presbytery who tried him for heterodoxy! Y6nder are Lyman Beecher and the church court that denounced-him! Stranger than all, there are John Calvin and James Arminius! Who would * have thought that they would sit so lovingly together? There are Georg9 Whitefield and the ministers who would not let him. come into their pulpits because they thought,him a fanatic. There are the sweet singers , Toplady, Montgomery, Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts and Mrs. Slgourney. If heaven had had no music before they went up, they would have started the singing. And there the band of missionaries—David Abeel, talking of China redeemed; and John Scudder, of India saved; and David Brainerd, of the aborigines evangelized; and Mrs. Adoniram Judson, whose prayers for Burma took heaven by violence! All these Christians are looking into the arena. Our struggle is nothing to theirs! Do we in Christ's cause suffer from the cold? They walked Greenland's icy mountains. Do we suffer from the heat? They sweltered in tropics. Do we get fatigued? They fainted, with none to care for them but cannibals. Are we persecuted? They were anathematized. And as they look from their gallery and see us falter in the presence of the lions I seem to hear Isaac Watts addressing us in his old hymn, only a little changed: Must you be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease While others fought to win the prize Or sailed through bloody seas? Toplady shouts in his old hymn: Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down by the willows take; Loud to the praise of love divine Bid every string awake. While Charles Wesley, the Methodist, breaks forth In words a little varied: A charge to keep you have, A God to glorify, A never dying soul to save 'And fit it for the sky! I look again and I see the gallery of our departed. Many of those in the other galleries we have heard of, but these we knew. Oh, how familiar their faces_!_ They sat at our tables, and we walked to the house of God in company. Have they forgotten us? Those fathers and mothers started us on the road of life. Are they careless as to what becomes of us? And those children— do they look with stolid indifference as to whether we win or lose this battle of life? They remember the day they left us. They remember the agony of the last farewell. Though years In heaven, they know our faces. They remember our sorrows. They speak our names. They watch this fight for heaven. Nay, I .see them rise up and lean over and wave before us their recognition and encouragement. That gallery is not full.. They are keeping places for us. After we have slain the lion they expect the king to call us. saying, "Come up higher!" Between the hot struggles in the arena I wipe the sweat from my brow and stand on tiptoe, reaching up my right hand to clasp theirs in rapturous handshaking, while their voices come ringing down from the gallery, crying, "Be thon faithful unto death, and you shall have a crown!" But here I pause, overwhelmed with the majesty and the joy of the scene! Gallery of the King! Gallery of angels! Gallery of prophets and apostles! Gallery of friends and kindred! O v majestic circles of light and love! Throngs, throngs, throngs! How shall we stand the gaze of the universe? Myriads of eyes beaming on us! Myriads of hearts beating in sympathy for us! How shall we ever dare to sin again? How shall we ever become discouraged again? How shall we ever feel lonely again? With God for us and angels for us and prophets and apostles for us and the great souls of the ages for Us and our glorified kindred for us—shall we give up the fight and die? No, Son of God, who didst die to save us! No, ye angels, whose wings are spread forth to shelter us! No, ye prophets and apostles, whose warnings startle us! No, ye loved ones, whose arms are outstretched to receive us! No, we will never surrender! Sure I must fight if I would reign, Be faithful to my Lord, And bear the cross, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer though they die; They see the triumph from afar And seize it with their eye. When that illustrious day shall rise iAnd all thine armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine. My hearers, shall we die in . the arena or rise to join our friends in the gallery? Through Christ we may come off more than conquerers. A soldier dying in the hospital rose up in bed the last moment and cried, "Here, here!" His attendants put him back on his pillow and asked him why he shouted "Here!" "Oh, I heard the roll call of heaven, and I was only answering to my name!" I wonder whether after this battlrof this life is over our names will be called in the muster roll of the pardoned and glorified and, with the joy of heaven breaking upon our ^ouls, shall cry, "Here, here!"

In the vicinity of Paris a home for old domestic animals was established some time ago, and among the present inmates, axe a mule 72 years old, a oow 36.. and a pig 25 years old. It ia claimed that domestic animals which lead an easy life are likely to live far beyond the average age, if properly cared for. Many birds certainly attain an extraordinary age. Eagles, ravens and parrots frequently live ai hundred years and pelicans probably live- a s long, for it Is recorded that one of these birds was placed in the Amsterdam zoological garden some time before 1192, and was still there in 1870. This pelican, too, was at least four or five years old when it was placed in the garden. Eels are also long lived. Professor Buchner tells of one, which was kept for twenty-six years in a pond at Thiengeu, in which it was placed at the age of' eight years. It attained a length of nearly five feet, and Its favorite haunt was in the current that flowed Into the pond. All authorities agree that domestic animals which are obliged to do a: good deal of work do not live so long as those which lead a placid life. Another Man Altogether. Valley, Mo.. Feb. 24th.—There is a man in this town who has undergone a moat remarkable physical change In the last few months. His name is Perry Nelson and those who knew hlra but a short time ago are amazed at his present condition. He had not been feeling well for some time aad suspecting that the trouble camo from his kidneys, which he knew were not any too strong, he determined to try a kidney medicine. Dodd's Kidfcey Pill3 were highly recommended and Mr. Nelson began a treatment of them. He was rewarded by a complete restoration to vigorous good health. He says: "I used six boxes of Dodd's Kidney. Pills and they have helped me a great deal. I feel like another man and can recommend. Dodd's Kidney Pills very highly.:' arrs, Mitchell Is Dead.

Jack'fl hand trembled as he touched tho halfrbowed and .supplicating sentinel that in alk these decades, while the world was moving on, making wonderful history, had remained here In the dense jungle, guarding well the secret.pt those strange people of Aztec times, j * " Jack estimated the value of the statue at some thousands of pounds in London, even at the present depreciated pTice of silver. But they were after higher game, and could well afford to scornfully cast this base bullion aside. It was not long before the descending pick struck metal, and presently Jack, ahovel in hand, had cleared a blab that had a dull lustre not unlike bronze. Barrajo danced what, in another quarter of the world, might have been termed an Irish jig or a Scottish hornpipe. u Por Dios! It is just as the document relates. The old Indian did not deceive meT~C6me, TTft the trap with me, Senor Jack. See, stone steps lead down to the ruins of the old Aztec temple. Oh! I tell you, my president we are the luckiest men on-the-face~ot the earth, this night, since we have but to stretch out our hands to clutch fortune" The Invitation to descend, given by Barrajo, as the two fortune hunters surveyed the ancient stone steps leading to some mysterious subterranean depository of the Montezumas was a most welcome sound to Overton. They had come upon the expedition fully prepared for all emergencies, and the gloomy depths of the yawning pit below had no terrors for such brave hearts, so, taking pick and spade, they began to descend. At the bottom of the stairway they came to a long slab, forming a lintel over the top of a door. Upon digging the doorway was uncovered and was found to be blocked by a huge metate or native millstone. Carved across its entire surface were inscriptions: in the hieroglyphics of a civilized race. As soon as the doorway had been cut through the two adventurous treasure hunters entered the chamber of the temple-tomb. Mural paintings, representing female figures draped in shrouds and in attitudes of prayer, were on the walls. Niches In the crypt contained a number of skulls. and other bones comprising parts of skeletons were scattered about. These were all painted a bright red. Red. it may be remarked/\vas the mourning color of the Aztecs. There were numbers of idols in tho cave, doubtless looked upon as exceedingly chaste in these olden times, but their supreme ugliness gave Jack a rude shock when his artistic eye first fell upon them. However their faults, while many from this point of view, could be readily condoned when the fact was taken into consideration that each and every one of the little monsters seemed to have been fashioned from crude metal, and even Overton's inexperienced eye was able to tell that it was gold unalloyed. This was glorious—stilt, Tt"^vas~only a beginning. With trembling fingers they picked up many of the less weighty images and vases. By degrees the two men managed to recover their wits and calm down, when they set about a rough estimate of the value of their find. Overton was fain to agree with the general when the latter exultantly exclaimed that in all probability never before in the history of the world, from the days of King Solomon down to the present time, had such a vast treasure been heaped up in one pile. It was like a dream—Overton in his wildest moods, when fancy ran away with reason, had never imagined so marveieos a thing. Finally Barrajo said: "Remember our sacred compact, Senor Jack—an equal division if we both live; should misfortune overtake us while we are in the a c t of removing the treasure, the one who survives\ls entitled to all. after he has settled a few bequests we have *taken the pains to write jointly. Is this act understood?'* "It is In the bond general; and may heaven deal with me as I deal with you." They solemnly shook hands as If to again ratify the bargain. Barrajo and Jack had as yet no suspicion that they were followed from San Juan, and, eager to begin operations, the two comrades had each seized upon several images that were most handy and began to lug the unresisting captives- toward the exit. Barrajo ascended the steps first and Jack handed up the booty, raising the temple Images one by' one, while the general piled them outside on the grass beside the overthrown silver sentry. Jack had handed up the last of their burden, and, still gasping for breath, crawled up the steps himself, anxious to again breathe the pure atmosphere without, after having his eyes and nose and mouth clogged with the fine dust of ages. Just as he reached the top a hand clutched his shoulder, and Barrajo's husky voice whispered into his ear: "Hush! Do not move—caramba! I could swear I saw a figure flit through yonder stretch of bright moonlight" "Ah! that means " "We have been followed." "In spite of our great caution." Barrajo muttered a few pet phrases as though in this opening of the safe- -ty- valve-he—eeuM allow the surplus steam to escape. "There are some very sly dogs in this world, senor, and we have our share of them in San Jose. Yes, despite the care exercised by one whose long experience made him capable of doing everything possible to throw pursuers off the track, we have been followed." "There can be no doubt of their intentions," said Overton between his 9* teeth, as he allowed a hand to steal toward his weapons, for the Anglo- Saxon spirit was aroused within him. "None at all. They want this treasure, and if we hope to win we must fight for it," came the stern reply. BOOK TWO The Modem Argonaut*. CHAPTER XIII. Dearly Won. Evidences that the general had spoken the truth multiplied quickly, for presently they heard Bignals. and even caught a glimpse of dark figures flitting from tree to tree. Perhaps it was the first time on record where white men made a rude breastworks of gold, but lying behind the heap of gold images and vases tnat Barrajo had deposited upon the ground they awaited an opportunity to cut loose among the persistent shadows that had followed from San Juan. It was Barrajo who found the first chance, and right well the old soldier improved it. At least one thing was settled—the imprecations in Spanish that followed the report of his gun announced beyond any possibility of mistake that these dusky, flitting shadows were not tho spirits of ancient Aztec priests, but genuine, bonafide adventurers of to-day. If more evidence were needed they had it when spiteful flashes of fire punctured the dark spaces under the trees, and the rattle of firearms followed. Some of the bullets whistled over their heads, while others flattened against the novel defense behind which they crouched. "Five!" muttered the old soldier when tho scattering volley had come to an end without doing any damage. —They had qu4te a little circus for some time, firing back and forth, guided more by the flash of each other's guns than anything else. When the enemy began to flank their position Jack knew the ca.se was growing desperate, and would require heroic treatment if they hoped to come out at the large end of the horn. "We must move on their woiks, general," be declared, when a leaden messenger had sung past his ear, coming from the rear. They crawled away, keeping almost flat upon the ground and without interruption reached the spot for which they aimed, where at the proper time they could pour a hot and deadly fire into the ranks of the San Jose adventurers as they rushed forward in closing upon their silenced enemies. All this happened just as Barrajo, who knew the habits and temperaments of his fellows full well, expected, and the fusilade which they opened on tho advancing figures sent at least a couple of them to grass before they realized the clever nature of the stratagem played upon them. The fight, being again open, raged along the whole line. It was evidently destined to be a little war of extermination—one side or the other must be wiped out. After further desultory firing Jack heard the awful thud which a bullet makes when it strikes a human being, and caught the husky maledictions that burned hiB comrade's tongue. "You are hit," he exclaimed in dismay. "Yes, and badly, too, I fear. Try to stanch the blood, hombre, as best you can. Your hand trembles—come, bear up; it Is but the luck of a soldier, after all. Many years I have mocked the Grim Reaper and laughed i n his face —perhaps he has me now. At least, hombre, I shall be avenged. See; our three remaining enemies have come together yonder, by the gnarled o a k " you can count the flashes when they fire. It is a glorious opportunity t o try the virtues of these experimental bombs, one that may never come again. The secret must die with them.'* Jack had just turned his head moodily aside, ostensibly to look for enemies in their rear, but In reality to hide his emotion, when a sudden shout electrified him. As he faced about he was horrified to see his sorely wounded companion upon his feet and hurrying with uncertain steps' toward the spot from whence the last volley had come. It was too late to stay him, for already the mad general was a quarter of the way over the intervening ground. His cry had drawn out sj&ts from those in ambush—Jack could see the fire run the gamut of three guns, and at that distance ho tremthd for his devoted comrade. As he turned to look for Barrajo he discovered that his worst fears were realized-^-the old hero had gone down, struckragarirlay a merciless ball. — Then a sudden fury seemed to possess Overton—-such a feeling as may make a giant of a stripling—it was the desire for revenge burning in his soul and tingling to the very tips of his fingers, under the impulse of which a man may do the most—astoundtegfeats, such as might be worthy of old time heroes. In that second of time he had ^sworn- a.n oath t o s l a y t h o s e three desperate adventurers or die himself In the attempt. He had even scrambled to his feet with this stern re&olution on his mind, and was in the act of rushing forward to hurl himself upon the ambushed foe, when he discovered that Barrajo was once more rising. Jack had a pretty good idea as to what was upon Barrajo's mind, so that he was not at all surprised to tee him draw back "his arm and make ready to cast a projectile. Overton unconsciously came to a halt and held his breath when he discovered that the general had actually made the cast. He had no time to speculate upon the result. There was a blinding flash just in the spot where the trio of adventurers had concealed themselves, a most terrific concussion that actually threw Jack from his feet, and then a,deathly silence. Overton, only a trifle bruised, managed to gain his feet and rush forward. Where the San Jose treasure seekers had Iain hidden the utmost havoc had been done, and Jack knew no human being could have been within twenty feet tof that exploding bomb and escaped with his life. It was a< most terrible and overwhelming catastrophe. He remembered poor, brave Barrajo, hero of a score of battles, such as they are in Central American republics. It was no trouble finding him. The general had half raised himself to a sitting position, and was eagerly looking toward the scene of desolation his terrible little hand grenade had wrought. "It is—victory?" he gasped, as Jack bent over him. and there was a tremor to the old soldier's weak voice that told of the ruling passion strong in death. "I have no reason to believe a single man of their number has been left alive," Jack returned. The old warrior feebly waved his arm above his head—Jack wou'd never as long as he lived forget the tragic scene under the whispering gnarled onk. "Then 1 am satisfied. It is sweet for a soldier to die when the field has been won." "But is it so bad as that, my poor friend? May I not be able to save you? I have some rude knowledge of surgery, and Heaven knows I could spare no effort in your behalf." There was real agony in Jack's voice and the dying man was deeply affected by it. "Useless. Senor Jack: quite useless. My sands of life are almost run: my race at its end. I have been wounded many times, but never like this. In less than ten minutes I shall be dead; believe me." "Good heavens! you give me pain, Barrajo. If it were my brother I could not feel more unconsolable." "Ah. I believe you, senor. We.have been good comrades, we two: is it not so?" And we made a sacred compact: you remember it, Senor Jack?" woakl "Yes." (To be continued.) • • » rresbyterlaas In England.

We clip the following from the Agricultural College Record which we think will prove interesting to our farmer friends. The experiment was made by M. B. Stevens who gave the following detailed description before the club at the college on "The Germination of Corn." His aim in the experiment was to answer four questions: 1. Is there any difference in the germinating power of corn from the butts, middles and tips of ears? 2. Does the weight of a kernel have any influence on its germinating power or the future growth of the plant? 3. Will crib stored corn kept from the weather germinate as well as selected corn kept from freezing? i With the crib corn will kernels from hard nubbins germinate as welT aiTf rom the large ears and will growth of stalk and yield of corn be as great from the nubbins? He used the White Dent variety in his endeavors to work out answers to the four questions just stated. To preserve heat and uniformity of moislure,„ he placed a pie tin bottom up in a milk pan containing water, spread a cheese cloth over the pie tin allowing it to dip into the water and placed the corn upon this. Over the corn was spread a second cloth kep wet by the same methods, and STATE FARMERfi INSTITUTE. the whole covered with a milk pan to prevent evaporation. The results which he arrived at were as follows: 1. In every case the middles germinated the most rapidly. 2. In every case as high or a higher per cent of the middles germinated. 3. The butt kernels, in every case, germinated the most slowly and they were lowest in per cent of germination. In nearly all cases they were the heaviest kernels. 4. Tip kernels made a longer and more spindling growth while those from the middles were the strongest with the best color. 5. The corn selected from the crib germinated, practically, as well as the carefully cared for corn tnat was selected from the field and kept from freezing, which seems to indicate that freezing does not lessen the germinating power of dry corn. Our farmers never went into winter quarters in better shape financially than the past fall. In the spring the first comer is the strawberry then the raspberry, the gooseberry, pea, bean, pumpkins, etc. so that the farmer has an income the year round. The factory runs about five months in the year. Not-with-standing the drouth of last Beason our farmers and business men are well pleased with the venture, so much so that steps are being taken already to double the capacity of the factory. The labor in the factory pays the laborer from 60 cents to $3 per day. Moch of the work is done by girls and they are pleased to be able to earn good wages. The Question of a canning factory has been advocated in the vicinity of Howell and W. H . S. Wood was called upon to lead in the discussion. If we want a canning factory in Howell we have got to have 100 farmers say I will take $100 in stock. If you want anything to come to Howell in the factory line you have got to push for it—the thing will not spring up without some assistance. The question is do you want it? Mr. Hilton said that the farmers made 150 to$75 dollars per acre and all within three or four months use of the land. The best pea for canning purposes is the Alaska.. The peas are not picked but mown and put through a thresher at the factory. The plant at Fremont cost $10,000. Mr. Schroder thought it easy enough to build a factory and another thing to run it and make a success of it. The citizens in town cannot do it alone, it requires the united efforts of farmer and townsmen. Mr. Hilton—It would require about $15,000 or $20,000 to run the business the first season. Last year we cleared 50 per cent and had $2,000 left in the treasurery. What protection should we give to the best product of the home aud farm? A paper by Mrs. E. E . Pierce was a plea for the suppression of the liquor traffic wit! its blighting curse. She pointed out where the blame for the traffic lay and gave plenty of evidence to show that with the saloon out of the county, the grain used in its production turned into its legitimate channels, the farmer and county at large would be better financially, morally and spiritually. try the time is coming, nay, is here when more attention must be given to the od ucation. It is not fair that we do not pay as much attention to the district school as we did when the school was composed of 40 or 50 instead of 10 or 12 as the case »s now. Thousands of dollars to-day goes into the city and village schools in tuitions which could and should be expended in the district school and that school made into a high school by hiring good teachers. I think that one trouble is we hire teachers who are too young—they lack judgement. Again the city high school teacher is not always a success as they lack in government and tact. The man who succeeds as a farmer or any other vocation is to do business in a business manner. The farmer should keap a set of books just as much as any other business man and keep an inventory of tools, stock, farm etc., and keep track of everything and balance up at the end of the year just the same—he must pay attention to his own business and let other farmers and people attend to theirs. If the farmer cannot keep his books let his wife do it. The farmer of to-day can only succeed as ire prepares himsetf-for t h e work—bystudy etc. The sciences must he understood so that the farmer can mix his brain and brawn with the soil—must know how to keep up the soil fertility. The farmer must know how best to fertilize his zie of the MAC says, "tillage is manure." One trouble is that farmers read too much of everything else before he reads his agri- -cult-u p a l - p a p e r s - . I t is wrong when the farmer sons and daughters have to go to college to learn their first lessons in botany I think that much that is beneficial to the farmers should be taught in the district school. That in regard to moths, seeds, smut, etc.. and should be taught in these schools and it would not be leng before the parents would be interested in such matters and the next study would be as how to best get rid of such thiugs as are harmful to crops. Now we have some idea of what the farmer ought to know the next thing is how best to get that knowledge. If we lose sight of the money problem for a time and think only of the interesting part. The Farm home reading circle is a good way to get this knowledge and every farm- The eternal fitness of things, Col. L. H. Ives—I am glad that this institute has turned its attention from the Almighty dollar to something different. Time was when the calf and pigs could be housed or cared for in any shape and nothing thought of it, but things are different. I believe in artificial and landscape beauty and by this I do not mean a large outlay of money but just in placing things where they belong and will call the attention to the passerby at any time. The value of my farm and your farm is increased by its surroundings not only in itself but in the beauty of the other farms and buildings adjoining. He thought a great improvement could be made in the cleaning up the road-way —not the road-bed but the sides of the road. It would add very much to the eternal fitness of things to clean up the roads, out a few trees and make it a picture. Such things have a refining influence on the homes in the vicinity of the improvements. This was followed by a recitation by little Viola Howe which was excellent. A question WHS asked Mr. Gilbert, what would be the results if RUgar beets wilt? They would be richer in sugar but would not weigh so much. Would not advise letting them wilt. A question given to Colon C. Lillie, Has the beet industry been of any great financial benefit to the farmers of Michigan thus far? I think that it has been. I find in every community where they raise beets, all are satisfied with results. The farmer who raised potatoes this year made as much as the one who raised beets but he is not sure of such a price for potatoes every year as he if in the beet industry. The farmer who can secure the tonage per acre will always make a good thing. A question for Mr. Ives—Would you advise setting trees along the road where the telephone line would destroy them? Yes, but don't let the companies injure the trees—they have no right. EVKNING SESSION: This session was opened by siuging by the anuTence aruTthefoliowIhg committees were oppointed; KESOIXTIOX. F. W.

Strong. In the first place yours is a noble calling. When God made man he placed him in the garden and gave him dominion over everything. It is an unfortunate fact that many young men and women are looking upon the work of the farm as drudgery. This should not be so, the name mossback and hayseed etc. should not be given to the man who works on the farm. Many of the best and brightest men and women of our nation and state come from the farm. In the business world men have no time but for business. Not so.the county. Here the farmer has time for the enlightenment of the mind. If I can only imj press upon the young people of both sexes the grand opportunities you have in your present high calling. I have done much to answer the question. SATURDAY MORNING: Opened by singing America; and invocation by Rev. Strong. Col. Ives g've a short talk while waiting for the speaker.

We give much attention to raising thoroughbred stock and he goes into the beet business, nay, he can put on more stock than ever before and for dairy purposes no better feed can be found than beet tops and pulp. The pulp is worth much for feed even though it costs $2 or $3 per ton. I raised 10 acres last year 5 on clover sod and 5 on corn stubble. I am going to try and make a success of sugar beets on clover sod. My beets paid me this year $20 per acre and I did not have a good crop. I think the seed did not all germinate owing to too deep cultivation and planting I only got about 12 ton per acre and think I could have have easily got 18 or 20 if seed had all grown, you cannot afford to let weeds grow on a beet field or let a crust form—keep it cultivated. The cow pea by Chas. P . Reed. The cow pea is a native of China and Japan. It was introduced in America about 400 years ago. It takes the place there of the alfalfa clover of the west and the red clover of the north, as a forage it is equal to clover hay. They are very sensative to cold and wet must not be planted in J u n e . Should be sown in drills so that they can be cultivated once or twice to get the best results. The bean puller is the best means of harvesting the cow pe«Talthough---tHey. may be mown. Some farmers sow cow peas among corn thinking it increases the strength of the silage. Small quantities of cow pea seed may be kept from the insect by putting in road dust—large quantities will feel the effects of that insect as well as other peas. R. C. Reed thought that the cow pea was one that should be tried quite extensivelyin this vicinity. Do not believe the cow pea will succeed as well in corn as it will alone as it is a sun plant. Thought that as a fertilizer it should have a thorough trial. Eugene Lansen thought the soy bean was better than the cow pea—had tried the pea and was disgusted. Shubert Wells, would the cow pea or soy bean be good feed as dry feed after threshing? Colon Lillie, Nothing better. As a fertilizer what time to sow and how much seed? Sow the same as for any other thing and plow them under. If you should msss a'crop of wheat or oats, fit again^ and sow cow pea. Mr. Sexton tried the cow pea—planted in rows, They grew 2j feet high. Was satisfied with them. Cut them and put in Kodol Dyspepsia Cure Digests what you eat* This preparation contains all of tbt dlgestanta and digests .all kinds « food.

' Men's thumb rings are* no rarities tc collectors. Some of the Roman specimens must have been cumbrous wearr one in the Montfaucon collection bearing the bust of Trajan's consort, PHotina, measuring over three inches across. Mediaeval churchmen of high degree did not allow "the largest, firsl and shortest of the fingers" to go unadorned. A massive gold ring was found upon the thumb of the supposed skeleton of Hilary, bishop of Chichester, who, died in 1109, and the recumbent efligy of Bishop Oldham in Exeter cathedral is remarkable for the pressed together thumbs being inclosed by a single ring. When the shrine of St. Thomas a Becket was robbed.of its treasures, the famous archbishop's thumb ring, given to him by the king of France, graced with a ruby the size of a hen's egg, found its way to the thumb of blufl King Hal, and as the humor of the king is alwa3rs voted just the thing we may be sure the royal hand was not the only one so decked at court. Mayors and aldermen imitated their betters. "When I was about thy years, Hal," says the fat knight, "1 was uot an eagle's talon in the waist. I could have crept into an alderman's thumb ring." —Ciiambers' "Journal, rejoined Miss Cutting. "Accounts for what?" queried the youth.

"Why, George Gilbert, is it you?' she exclaimed. She held out her hand "How did you ever happen to get here! Come right into the house. Itick's gone to town for coal." The man followed her into the mair room of the house, which served the double purpose of parlor and kitchen In one corner stood the stove; above it a~lcmg-«heHr covered with neatly seal loped papers, on which stood the lamps and tinware.

Solo, Malon Pearce. The County Unit School System, do we want it? 11. E. Reed, I was taught to believe that the school system of "Michigan" was perfect, but as I have studied, and what I have seen has changed my mind somewhat. The system of grading the schools has been a failure; also the unit system. There isjuat as much confusion -m-the graded schools a» ever. There are over 1000 schools in Michigan with an average of eight. Mr. Reed has had a large experience theTurnl schools of tins trotmtyy but what he said was not based upon personal observation. This system was first instituted in New York between two school districts that had not enough scholars in each to maintain the school in a private way. At last the legislature was asked to grant money for carrying the children, which it did. From this it has been taken bv a few other states until at preseut there are three or four states where the privilege is granted. H e thought it worked well where the conditions were favorable. There is at present three propositions upon which the lerfding educators of the state are working but the township unit is not being urged and is virtually dead. Thought some change needed to be made because the schools are not doing what they used to do., Frank R. Crandall followed in this conference. He also said something ought to be done in regard to the rural schools; did not know just what is best. He reail an article written by one of the projectors of the unit system, which proved conclusively that the plan has not been abandoned and that the movement,is not dead, but that it is being pushed by the projectors with all the force and cunning which can be brought to bear. This article showed that it was much cheaper to send a rig around to get the children and maintain the township unit school than is the present method. The carriers were required to give bonds of $200 each, to be men of good moral character, to keep the children orderly, to see that no improper language was used, to furnish teams, enclosed rigs, robes, etc., to make the children comfortable. They were obliged to have the children at the school house at 8:4^ in the morning and be on hand at 3 :15 in ttie afternoon to take | thorn home and see<that they reached home in safety. For this work they were to receive wages varying from <>8 cents to $1.25 j per day. The article claimed that where ] the public schools close to oar homes. Little Leola and Helen Weller rendered a nice duet and and the committee* on resolutions and nominations reported*. The following officers were elected. Pres., Frank Backus Sec. and Treas., Sam Yerlcee Vice. Pre*., as last year Our Homes, by Mrs. T. S. Curdy was a very practical, • entertaining and instruct; paper. It claims that our homes ought to be the dearidt place to us. A room good enough for the family was good enough for company. She would let in the sunlight and cheer and make it as attractive as posaiWe by heart sympathy. Next came a lecture by Prof. Davis of the U. of. M. on forestry, which was to some instructive and profitable but not to the majority of the people. He entered into a hand to hand conyersatiou with several concerning wind breaks, lawn trees, etc. He advocated planting abou 400 pine trees to the acre and it would mature in about 30 years so that the crop could be harvested by the planter provided the conditions were favorable. In the afternoon of the 22nd the M. E . church where the womans section was held and the Court House where the regular session was held both were crowded to their utmost capacity, and many turned away. It was estimated that fully 1,000 persons were in attendance at the two sections". This ended one of the largest and most successful institutes ever held jn this part of the.state. One of the state speakers expressed litniselfasi greatly "surprised" a t t h e throng of people who were in constant attendance. Chance For HeruUm, Adorer (anxiously)—What did yonr father any?

I), 1902, at svbich election the tallowing them to abandon it. >R. C. Reed followed and thought tins the most alarming proposition that ever came before the commonwealth of Michigan because it meant a revolution of one of the institutions and principled/that has been the bulwork of the country. The people of Michigan have not asked for this, that it was being crowded upon the state by a ' few individuals who wished to do something regardless whether it would be beneficial or not. That this was another mani-! festntion of the disposition that seems to ' possess eveiy otliein I as soon as he gels a' chance at the public crib. Taxes have in- ' creased in the last score of years at an ! alarming rale. This would be another ' factor for the incsease of taxes for the ' coming years, l i e also said that it was the height of folly to think that you could get men of good moral character who would furnish teams etc., who would work for 08 cents or Si .2") per day when the wages for a man at the present times are from $20 to 5>2-l per month. The people of Michigan are yet competent to do some of their own thinking and to tell th« officials what we want instead of their thinking for and telling us what we MUST have. Mrs. R. R. Smith said in the language of Carleton,''Them's my sentimonts exactly."

What you do tor them as children you must do quickly or never do at all. My hearers, if we seevre the present and everlasting welfare of our children, most other things belonging to us are of but ltttle comparative importance. Alexander the Great allowed his soldiers to take their families with them to war, and he accounted for the bravery of his men by the fact that many of them were born in camp and were used to warlike scenes from the start Would God that all the children of our day might be born Into the army of the Lord! But we all need the protecting wing. If you had known when you entered upon manhood or womanhood what was ahead of you, wouid you have dared to undertake life? You are not at forty or fifty or sixty or seventy or eighty years of age where you Jthousht you would be. I do not know any one except myself to whom life has been a happy surprise. I never expected anything, and so when anything came in the shape of human favor or comfortable position or widening field of work It was to me a surp r i s e . I was told in the theological seminary by some of my fellow stu-, dents that I never would get anybody , to hear me preach unless I changed my style, so that when I found that some people did come to hear me it was a happy surprise. But most people, according to their own statement, have found life a disappointment. Indeed, we all need shelter from its tempests. The wings of my text suggest warmth, and that is what most folks want The fact is that this is a cold world whether you take it literally or figuratively. We have a big fireplace called the sun, and it has a very hot fire, and the stokers keep the coals well stirred up, but much of tne year we cannot get near enough to the fireplace to get warmed. Tne world's extremities are cold all the time. Forget not that it istolder at the south pole than at the north pole, and that the arctic is not so destructive as the antarctic. Once in a while the arctic will let explorers come back, but the antarctic hardly ever. When at the south pole a ship sails in, the door of ice is almost sure to be shut against its return. So life to many millions of people at the south and many millions of people at the north is a prolonged shiver. But wuen I say that this is a cold world I chiefly mean figuratively. « * ! (OqtHrrtffbt, 1902, Louts Klopsch, >*• Y.) { Washington, March 2.-A. familiar iUuBtwiion from the barnyard is employed in this discourse by Dr. Talt mage to show the comfort and protection that heaven affords to all trustin* souls. The text is Matthew xxiii., <87, "Even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings and ye would moC' Jerusalem was Jn sight as Christ came to the crest of Mount Olivet, a j height of 706 feet Spread out before this eyes are the pomp, the wealth, the wickedness and the coming destruction of Jerusalem, and he bursts into tears at the thought of the obduracy of a {place-that he would gladly have saved, and apostrophises, saying. J*Q Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how often would 1 have (gathered thy children together, even as 'a hen gathereth her chickens under her |wings,,and ye wouid not!" i Why did Christ select hen and chickens as a simile? Next to the appositeness of the comparison, I think it was to help all public teachers in the matter of illustration to get down off their stilts and use comparisons that all can understand. The plainest bird on earth is the barnyard fowl. Musicians have written out in musical scale the song of lark and robin redbreast and nightingale, yet the hen of my text hath nothing that could be taken for a song, jbut only cluck and cackle. Yet Christ Jin the text uttered while looking upon [doomed Jerusalem declares that what he had wished for that city was like •what the hen does for her chickens. There is not much poetry about this winged creature of God mentioned in • my text but she is more practical and 'more motherly and more suggestive of . good things than many that fly higher and wear brighter colors. I am in warm sympathy with the unpretentious old-fashioned hen because, like most of us, she has to scratch for a living. She knows at the start the lesson which most people of good sense are slow td learn—that the gaining of a livelihood implies work and that successes do not lie on the surface, but are to be upturned by positive and continuous effort The reason that society and the church and the world are so full of failures, so full of loafers, so full of deadbeats, is because people are not wise enough to take the lesson which* the hen would teach them, that if they would find for themselves and •ffor those dependent upon them anything worth having they must scratch (for it, Solomon said, "Go to the ant, thou sluggard."" I say, Go to the hen, thou sluggard. In the Old Testament 'God compares himself to an eagle stir- '.ring up her nest, and in the New Testament the Holy Spirit is compared to a ^descending dove, but Christ in a ser- j fmon that began with cutting sarcasm for hypocrites and ends with the paroxi s m of pathos in the text, compares himself to a hen. J One day in the country we saw sudden consternation in the behavior of old Dominick. Why the hen should be so disturbed we could not understand. We could see nothing on the ground that could terrorize, and we could see nothing in the air to ruffle the feathers of the hen, but the loud, wild, affrighted cluck which brought all her brood at full run under her feathers made us look again around and above us, when we saw that high up and far away there was a rapacious bird wheeling round and round and down and down, and, not seeing us as we stood in the shadow, it came nearer and lower until we saw its beak was curved from base to tip and it had two flames of fire for eyes, and it was a hawk. But all the chickens were under old DominlcK's wings, and either ithe bird of prey caught a glimpse of us, 'or not able to find the brood, huddled under wing, darted back into the clouds. So Christ calls with great earnestness to all the young. Why, what is the matter? it is bright sunlight, and there can be no danger. Health is theirs. A good home is theirs. Plenty of food is theirs. Prospect of long life Is theirs. But Christ continues to call, calls with more emphasis and urges haste and says not a second ought to be lost. Oh, do tell us what is the matter. Ah, now I see; there are hawks of temptation In the air, there are vultures wheeling for their prey, there are beaks of death ready to plunge, there are claws of allurement ready to clutch. Now I see the peril. Now 1 understand the urgency. Now Tsee the only safety. Would that Christ might this day take our sons and daughters into his shelter "a* a hen gathereth her chickens, under her wing." The fact is- that the most of them will never mind the shelter unless while they are chickens, rt is a simple matter of inexorable statistics that ^rnost of those who do not come to Christ in youth never come at. all. /Father*, mothers, older brothers and If you want to know what is the meaning of the ordinary term of receiving the "cold shoulder," get out of money and try to *x>rrow. The conversation may have been almost tropical for luxuriance of thought and speech, but suggest your necessities and see the thermometer drop to 50 degrees below zero, and in that which till a moment before had i>een a warm room. Take what is an unpopular position on some public question and see your friends fly as chaff before a windmill, AS far as myself is concerned, I have no word of complaint, but I look off day by day and see communities freezing out men and women of whom the world is not worthy. Now it takes after one and now after another. It becomes popular to depreciate and defame and execrate and lie about some people. This is the best world I ever got into, but it is the meanest world that some people ever got into. The worst thing that ever happened to them was their cradle, and the best thing that will ever happen to them will be their grave. But notice that some one must take the storm for the chickens. Ah. the hen takes the storm. I have watched her under the pelting rain. I have seen her in the pinching frosts. Almost frozen to death or almost strangled in the waters, and what a fight she makes for the young under wing if a dog or a hawk.or a man come too near! And so the brooding Christ takes the storm for us. What flood of anguish and tears that did not dash upon his holy soul? What beak of torture did not pierce his vitals? What barking Cerberus of hell was not let out upon him from the kennels? Yes, the hen takes the storm for the chickens, and Christ takes the storm for us. The wings under which we come for spiritual safety are blood spattered wings, are night shadowed wings, are tempest torn wings. In the Isle of Wight I saw the grave of Princess Elizabeth, who died while a prisoner at Carisbrooke castle, her finger on an open Bible, and pointing to the words, "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Oh, come under the wings! But now the summer day is almost past, and the shadows of the house and barn and wagon shed have lengthened. The farmer, with scythe or hoe on shoulder, is returning from the fields. The oxen are unyoked. The horses -are crunching the oats at the full bin. The air is bewitched of honeysuckle and Wild brier. The milkman, pail in. hand, is approaching the barnyard. The fowls, keeping early hours* are collecting their young. "Cluck!" "Cluck!" "Cluck!" And soon all the eyas of thai feathered nursery are closed. Yhi bachelors of the winged tribe* have as oended to their perch, but tM$ens, is a motherhood divinely appointed, t*k« all the risk of^a sluml^.e* the frou5^a and all night long tn^Wngs will stfitt outspread, and the l H r o f M will not' utter a sound. Thus at^nbdown, lovingly, safely, completely, the hen broods her young. So, if we are the Lord's, the evening of our life will come. The heats of the day will have passed. There will he shadows, and we cannot see as far. The work of life will be about ended. The hawks of temptation that hovered in the sky will have gone to the woods and folded their wings. Sweet silences will come. The air will be redolent with the breath of whole arbors of promises sweeter than jasmine or evening primrose. The air may be a little chill, but Christ will call us, and we will know the voice and heed the call, and we will come under the wings for the night, the strong wings, the soft wings, the warm wings, and without fear and in full sense of safety, and then we will rest from sundown to sunrise, "as a hen gathereth her chickens under her -VtegJi _ Dear me! How many souls the Locd hath thus brooded! Mothers, after watching over sick cradles and then watching afterward over wayward sons and daughters, at iast themselves taken care of by a motherly God. Business menr after-a-IIfetfme struggling with the uncertainties of money markets and the change of tariffs and the underselling of men who because of their dishonesties can afford to undersell, and years of disappointment and struggle, at last under wings where nothing can perturb them any more than can a bird of prey which is ten miles off disturb a chick at midnight brooded in a barnyard. My text has its strongest application for people who were oorn in the country, wherever you may now live, and that is the majority of you. You cannot hear my text without having all the rustic scenes of the old farmhouse come back to you. Good old days they were. You knew nothing much of the world, for you had not seen the world. By law of association you cannot recall the brooding hen ana her chickens without seeing also the barn and the haymow and the wagon shed and the house and the room where you played and the fireside with the Dig backlog before wnich you sat and the neighbors and the burial and the wedding and the deep snowbanks and hear the village bell that called you to worship and seeing the horses which, after pulling you to the church, stood around the old clapboard meeting house, and those who sat at either end of the church pew and, indeed, all the scenes of your first fourteen years, and you think oi what you were then, and of what you are now, and all these thoughts are aroused by the sight of the old hencoop. Some of you had better go back and start again. In thought return to that place and hear the cluck and see the outspread feathers and come under the wing and make the Lord your portion and shelter and warmth, preparing for everything that may come and so avoid being classed among those described by the closing words of my text, "as a hen gathereth her chickens under uer wings, and ye would not" Ah, that throws the responsibility upon us. "Ye would not." Alas, for the "would nots!" If the wandering broods of the farm heed not their mother's call and risk the hawk and dare the freshet and expose themselves to the frost and storm, surely their calamities are not the mother's fault. "Ye would not!" God would, but how many would not? When a good man asked a young woman who had abandoned her home and who was deploring her wretchedness why she did not return, the reply was: "I dare not go home. My father is so provoked he would not receive me home." "Then," said tne Christian man, "I will test this." And so hV wrote to the father, and the reply came back, and in a letter marked outside "Immediate" and inside saying. "Let her come at once; all is forgiven." So God's invitation for you is marked "Immediate" on the outside, and inside is written, "He will abundantly pardon." Oh, ye wanderers from God. and happiness and home and heaven, come under the sheltering wing. A vessel in the Bristol channel was nearing the rocks called the Steep Holmes. Under the tempest the vessel was unmanageable, and the only hope was that the tide would change before she struck the rocks and went down, and so the captain stood on the deck, watch in hand. Captain and crew and passengers were pallid with terror. Taking another look at his watch and another look at the sea, he shouted: "Thank God, we are saved! The tide has turned! One minute more and we Would have struck the rocks!" Some of yon who have been a long while drifting in the tempest of sin and sorrow and have been making for the breakers. Thank God, the tide has turned.' fit) you not feel the lift of the billow? The grace, of God that bringeth salvation has appeared to your soul, and, in the word's of Boas to Ruth, I commend you to "the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou bast come to trust."

The adoption of the resolution of censure probably closes the incident, so far a s Mr. MeLaurln is concerned. Immediately after t h e senate con- •ened 'Mr. Burrows, chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, t o which the McLaurln-TlHinau controversy had been referred, reported the reautathja of censure, fnirued b y a maj o r i t y # f t h e committee. Accompanying the resolution w a s a report Betting out the conclusions of the majority. A brief statement w a s presented b y Senatow Bailey, ^lac^burn, PettUH, Foster »jia Dubois, Democratic members of the committee, dissenting from some e€ the conclusions of the majority. They agreed, " h o w e w ; to the resolntjon off-ered. A minority report w a s presented fry Senators McComas, Beverid^efrand Prit;ehitrd„ Eepublicans, who ma^rtaiued that t h e adoption of a resolution of censure -was not sufflcient pnniPhnvent. Practically there w a s no debate on the resolution, although Mr. GalUnger and Mr. Piatt (Oonn.) made it evident by brief ^tat^mentn that the resolution w a s not quite satisfactory to them. The resolution w a s adopted, 5 2 to 12. T h e order adjudging the two senators in contempt is no longer in force. When Mr. Tillman's namo w a s called, h e added a n e w sensatieti to thft .proceedings by rising and saying with ,ill-concealed emotion: "Among gentlemen, an apology for an offense committed under heat of blood, Is usually considered sufficient." The andftors caught their breath a s Mr. Tillman thus entered b i s protest against the adoption of the resolution. Mr. Tillman's words Induced Mr. Kean (S, J.) to rise at the conclusion of the roll call, and s a y : "Having heard the. senator from South Carolina again insult the senate, 1 change my vote from aye to no." At the request of Mr. Burrows, the statement of Mr. Tillman w a s read by the clerk. Instantly the South Carolina senator disclaimed any intention of offense to the senate, and said that if It w a s so considered he would withdraw it. T h e chair (Mr. Frye) said that by unanimous consent it might be withdrawn, but Mr. Dietrich (Neb.) ol>- jected. The incident w a s elosed without further comment. The senate adopted the conference report on the permunent census bill and then began consideration of the irrigation measure. Mr. Clark <Wyo.) delivered a^oarefully prepared speech in its support. For a time later the senate considered the omnibus claims hill, but a*id not dispose of it. T h e r e n n t t y l T a n t a F l o o d .

When a young man of one and twenty, Mr. Clark Russell, the well known novelist, was present at the trial of a dozen seamen who had mutinied because the food provided for them was of the most abominable description. He was disgusted to find that the mutineers were actually sentenced to several weeks' imprisonment for refusing to be poisoned with the provisions dealt out to them. From this sprang the idea of a story of mutiny caused entirely by the shipment of bad food for the crew. The result was "The Wreck of the Grosvenor," by which Mr. Clark Russell made his name.

"What do you want to make a child of a dog for?" John would ask snappishly. "I love Spotty dearly/* Margaret would reply. One morning John overheard his wife talking to the dog: "Spotty, dear, I want you to go and bring me a baby. You'll find it semewhere—in the wood perhap6> It will be in a silk handkerchief, tied at the corners. There will be a bit of paper pinned to the handkerchief, giving the baby's <nazne and telling why its mother left it in the wood, poor woman"' "Thafs a likely thing to happen," muttered John. "Take the handkerchief in your teeth*" Mar£sret_went on,JVhere the four corners are tied together and bring the child to me." John Went to Memphis to a foundling asylum and applied for a baby to adopt. There was none to be had whose parentage satisfied,him, for be was somewhat particular in that respect, so he Went back to Margaret disappointed and empty handed, arid Margaret went on making a child of Spetty. Soon after this John was reading in the local newspaper a telegraphic dispatch stating that the river was rising rapidly above and fears were entertained that the levee at several weak points would not stand the pressure. His house stood on ground above the highest flood mark, so he did not fear for his and Margaret's safety, but he dreaded the flood for bis neighbors* sake and the destruction of his own and their property. "John," said his wife, "last night I dreamed tliat Spotty had jrone away and come back wrtb u baby-tied up--in^™ a silk handkerchief." John groaned. "Spotty! Spotty! Come, get your breakfast!" she called. Spot didn't respond, and Margaret went out into the yard to look for him. She called, but without reply. She hunted among the rosebushes and under the magnolia trees, in the barn, the woodhouse, everywhere, but there was no Spot. Then she set all the negroes hunting, but when the sun went down that night there was no sign of the child-dog. The flood proved the highest ever known. The levee burst above the Oldershaws', and the country was covered with water. Margaret wrung her hands and gave up Spot for drowned and pleaded with John to take a boat and go in search of his body. John refused until he saw that bis refusal was downright cruelty. Then he got out the oars, unchained the boat and after taking his wife In with him pulled } away into the wood behind the house. | John Oldershaw felt like a fool, but j he is not the first husband who has acted stupidly and wisely at the same time in pleasing his wife. | They were met by everything that j could float, animate and inanimate. ! Furniture, dwellings, sections of fenc- I ing, barns, were floating about in pro- | fusion. A wee kitten on a board mew- ! ed to them plteously. A lamb o» the {roof of an outhouse bleated. Half I dressed people who had escaped in : boats at midnight were pulling for dry i land. John Oldershaw saw the wreck : about him and remembered that he j was looking for a drowned dog. | "See the little arkr Margaret ex- | claimed. j Whoever has not seen one of those > old cradles, now obsolete—as all cradles are, for the matter of that—made of wood, ono end covered with the same material, cannot understand the exclamation. What Margaret saw was one of these cradles, and, what was more wonderful to relate, she heard a bark, and a dog's nose protruded tibove the gunwale of the cradle-boat about where the slits for handles were, "Ifs Spotty!" cried Margaret in ecstasy. "So it is," said John. "Why doesn't he put his paws on the side and show himself?" said Margaret "He's afraid of upsetting his boat,** said John. John pulled for the cradle and was soon alongside of It Margaret seised the tiny craft, and there, lying on soft bedding, was an Infant When it saw Margaret looking down at i t the child's face broke Into a smile. Its eyes laughed, and its little arms and legs vibrated like shuttles.

It but the rest of It IS of more importance than what I have told. The baby, a boy, was adopted and reared by John and Margaret Oldershaw, and not til! he was grown did he discover that be was the son of a rich planter not far up the7 river, both of his parents having been drowned when be was swept away by the flood. John after the advent ot.the little stranger treated Spotty with ej^ecial_ kindness, though Margaret strangely enough, never afterward considered him anything but a dog. HESTER B.

CHAPTER XIIL^(Ce*tlK«*4.> "If one falla t h e other takes all, binding himself t o carry out those small favors that are on the list. Senor Jack, my brave friend, everything i s yours, I brought you nower, n o w riches beyond the maddest dream o f any human being on earth. Tour future lies before you. In good time, when i t pleases you, return again t o London, there t o punish and reward. But, amlgo, sometimes when perhaps surrounded by happy scenes, let memory carry you to the lonely grave of your comrade in arms far away under southern skies, and drop a tear to Barrajo, who met a soldier's fate." Jack was affected almost t o tears, so that he could only squeeze the hand he held in his. The presence of t h e Dread Rider upon the White Horse i s always sombre, and never more s o than when by violence he snatches the life of a sturdy soldier upon the field of battle. "One last request. Senor Jack. Promise that you will some day send a force of men hither t o remove my poor bones to the consecrated ground of San Jose cemetery. It will give me satisfaction i n the last minutes of my life." "I swear it," declared Jack stoutly. The general pressed his hand. Me was growing fainter; h i s eyes assumed a far-away stare; again his mind wandered to earlier scenes in his tempestuous life, and he gave orders to his army; called upon the enemy to surrend:r, uttered endearing phrases to some lovely woman, whose face haunted him a t this the closing hour of his career; and then addressed waiting spirits, whom he seemed t o see hovering near. Who dares to say it was only imagination? Then came the death rattle, the rigor that stiffened his stout frame, and all was over. As Overton knelt there above all that was mortal of his genial old friend, mentally renewing the v o w he "had taken wttfr t h e general, it.Aeem.ed as though the scroll of time were unrolled, and once again he looked back to the hour of his awful humiliation and despair, when the woman he loved betrayed him for gold, and gave herself for life into the keeping of his rival, whose foot had pressed the ladder of fame and fortune. "It is Destiny," he said solemnly. 'T pleaded with high Heaven to grant this one request. The wonderful opportunity has come, and now—to my work!" BOOK THREE. Th« Modern Mont* Ctlitn. CHAPTER XIV. The Marquis of Montezuma. It was lovely June, and«London sheltered at least a million and a half of visitors within her gates, for the greatest Jublilee the world has ever known was* in progress, to celebrate the ending of sixty years* reign on the part of the beloved sovereign, Victoria. Among the millions who gazed upon the marvelous spectacle, none occupied a more commanding position than a gentleman of distinguished appearanco, who seemed to control several of the best windows in the second floor of a famous hotel in front of which the procession moved. His manner seemed cold and repressed, as though his heart were not in this scene. Indeed, at times he appeared gloomy, a s might a man bowed down with heavy cares. Among those who speculated with regard to the Identity of this mysterious guest of the fashionable hotel were a couple of gentlemen seated at the window of an office further down t h e street. One of these was no other than Captain Maurice Llvermore, the famous traveler. H i s companion was a club man, who pretended to do a little business for the looks of the thing, which accounted for the office in the Strand. "Come, tell me who that fellow over yonder may be? He seems t o lord it like a prince of the blood. From what part of the world does he hail?" asked the captain. "Some weeks ago." said his companion, ' \ e burst in upon London like a comet, and in two days the talk of fhe town w a s nothing but Don Juan de Overton, or, as some have called him, the Marquis of Montezuma. "His wealth i s affirmed t o be without limit, and in this day that i s an assertion which can be said of few men; but Don Juan spends money like water, and his extravagances have cast poor Barney Bamato quite in the, shade, while even Dumas' .Monte Cristo i s hardly in the swim. "It has even been given on strong authority that he has a personal fortune of over twenty million pounds tterllag." The captain raised his hands to express surprise. "Jove! Have you met the Marquis?" "Weil, I have had that pleasure," complacently. "Then eome day when the opportunity arises, make me acquainted with this remarkable Spanish-American nabob, this modem Croesus, whose touch Is gold, like that of mythical Midas." "Willingly. You like to study man, and i n him you will find a puzzle worthy of your metal." "Well, find a chance to bring me into touch with this American nabob. I never saw an American—yes, there was one, but he hardly counts—with whom I was not able to get upon fam i l i a r a n d Intimate terms on short notice. Somehow they seem to like me. -I notice you have a marine glass on the wail among those yacht prizes and burgees. Would you mind handi n g . It over? I would like to have a closer survey of this man. Why, bless my soul, the windows _aregimjity^jio^ can I see any sign of him In the apartment. Your marquis h a s made a move a t last, Langford." When the marquis left the hotel he was gradually pushing along, when among the slow moving vehicles he noticed a hansom containing t w o ladies, one of them young, the other middle-aged. The marquis stood there, unmindful of the good-natured shoves of the crowd, seeing nothing but the charming countenance of the younger lady. "At last!" were the only words that came from between his white teeth, as the vehicle passed on. Then, with a cynical smile upon his face he once more joined the onward surge of the crowd. Half an hour later he shook himself free from the rolling billows, and entered a narrow court, by means of which he was enabled to reach a street leading t o the poorer regions. Suddenly he paused before a house, a .shabby looking affair, where a dirty little paper in the windowsVannbunced that apartments were to be let. Some Quixotic notion seemed to possess him, for hu gave a quick look up and down the street, laughed a little harshly, as though in judgment upon his contemplated action, and then boldly sounded hts knuckles upon the door. A frowsy woman opened it. "You have rooms for hire, madam?" asked the marquis, In the best of English. She was rather appalled at the appearance of such a "howling swell," as she was inclined to consider a fashionably dressed gentleman, and very humbly answered that it was true, though surely none to suit his lordship. • "I am not so certain of that." he replied quickly, "for I am looking t o find a sky parlor for a friend of mine, a painter, who will furnish it at his convenience." The woman's face grew brighter. If it was an attic the gentleman was looking for, she did have one vacant; it had even been occupied for a season by an artist, who was pleased to say the light was exceptionally good. She led the way to the attic and the marquis followed. From object to object he glanced, and upon the yawning aperture, yclept a fireplace, his gaze seemed to linger longest. With a calm voice he- inquired the price of the attic, and upon being told immediately paid three months' rent In advance. Then he seemed desirous of being rid of her presence, and expressed a desire to be left alone for half an hour. So the woman went below t o relate fairy stories of the Prince Bountiful whom she had unwittingly entertained, and boast of the new artist lodger who was to occupy one of the attic rooms. And the stranger in London stood there in that upper chamber, motionless, evidently overcome by memories that crowded upon his mind. As he stood, musing on the strange and remarkable vicissitudes of fortune, he heard a footstep dragging wearily up the stairs, and thinking it was t h e landlady, he did not move. Then a door was closed, and he heard a key turn in the lock. Some person had entered the adjoining room, probably a counterpart of tho one he occupied. Yes, there could be no doubt about it since he now caught voices. Unconsciously the marquis listened. Evidently something had given him a great Bhock, for his attitude betrayed this, a s he stood there, with one hand half raised, his head bent sideways, -and evidently intent upon hearing what w«* said beyond the thin partition, while, to himself -he was mutteri n i * ' ' - ; • • * • "Marvelous, tndeeeWhe hand of fate. After t w o . weeks of searching through half of London, and now to discover her by chance—to occupy the adjoining room. lAh! this Is kind, Indeed; but one o f the many favors with which I have "been blessed by an indult gent fortune." . As he listened, he discovered t o his dismay that there was a sound of low weeping i n the next room. He heard a window lowered, which •truck him a s singular, aa the air was very close on this 'balmy Jubilee day. "Is there no escape, dearest?" said a voice that seemed half muffled by the bed clothes, and y e t one knew instinctively that it-belonged t o an aged woman. "None, whatever, Aunty. We have endured everything that mortal can on earth. There i s nothing left for u s but this one resort," came in a low, quavering voice that somehow caused intense emotion to pass over the marquis* face, possibly because the speaker was a woman and in trouble. "Then God forgive us!" said the cracked voice, very reverently. "Hush, Aunty, dear; say no more, or you will unnerve me just when I T*otUM>* tverfjfe. ? W S&fcta** ri^H*.

But he failt»l to state that the famous gen* era], Louie Botha, had also been made prisoner—and had gotten away again. That is a story held in reserve, and may yet result in Borne court-martials. The British failed t o recognise the Boer leader, and the other prisoners took enre to shield him in every possible manner. After the pursuit of the fugitives had ended the captured mea were divided into groups, and Botha, fortunately for him, was included in the number that w a s intrusted to the care of the rear guard, from which he escaped during the excitement of a skirmish.

Kiss me again, Aunty. Soon I will come and lie at your side, where your arms can enfold me; dearest arms that have BO many times crushed me to a loving heart" The marquis was strongly shaken— for a man whose untold millions were the wonder and marvel of Lombard street, t o be thus brought face to face with the direst poverty, was a rude shock. Suddenly he became aware of the fact that some noxious gas came to his attention. He sniffed at the charged air suspiciously, and decided on the instant that it was the fumes of smoldering charcoal. Then the dreadful significance of what he had heard, the prayer for pity and forgiveness, the gradually dying murmur of v o i c e s - good heavens! It meant the desperate, poverty-stricken wretch's last fling at outrageous fortune, the sole relief from gnawing hunger and corroding care^— it meant suicide—while he lingered and planned those whom he would have helped might have crossed the grim divide that bordered the shadowy land of death!

COXDEXSED X E W S . CHAPTER XV. The Turning of the Tide. Whatever may have been the mystery of his past life, the marquis demonstrated the fact beyond all peradventure that he was a man of action, able to meet an emergency as it arose and overwhelm it. One leap and he was Outside the door of his attic room—another took him to that of the adjacent chamber, from whence had come the murmur of voices. He tried to open this, but was baffled— then, he remembered, having heard the key turned in the lock after the entrance of the dejected miniature painter. He threw his full weight forward, in such a manner that the impact was comething tremendous. There was a crash, and the door flew back. Into the chamber darted the marquis, holding his breath, for the deadly fumes of the wretched little charcoal stove were almost suffocating. His first move was to throw up the window, thus allowing a current of pure air, a t least as good a s this section of London could boast, to sweep through the chamber, a draught being formed by the open door. Next he picked up the pitcher of water standing on the box and dashing i t over the smoldering ' charcoal, effectually wound up it3 miserable part cf the tragedy. To the bed hs hastened. The women lay there wan and motionless— indeed, his first thought was that he had come to the rescue too late, and that death had already claimed his victims. Picking up the younger one in his Btrong arms, this resolute man of action bore her t o the window, and laid his burden down where the incoming current of air would fall upon her face. Then he went back for her older companion. Her eyes were open, though s h e seemed to be speechless^—evidently she had partially covered her head with the bed clothes and thus In a measure escaped t h e full result of the smothering sensation. Again he hurried to the side cf the form at the window tending oh, s o eagerly over her. and scanning her pinched face for signs of returning animation. The flutter of an eyelid, a low sigh, a slight movement of a hand—these were enough to tell him t h e joyful tidings, and when he bad assured himself of this fact, a faint, but fervent "than!c~~d59" came from the bsarded lips of the man.

Can funeral services or funeral sermons be given over an infiidel? Is it allowable to join the order of Free Masons? Why are Free Masons condemned l-y the church? Are the Masonic societies opposed to religion? Do not the Masons believe in God? if they believe in God how can it be said that they are opposed to Religion.

Thanking all for past favors and wishing you a Happy New Year, we are, Very^truly yours, TEEPLE & CAOWELL The county teachers institute was held at Howell on Saturday last and not-with-standing the bad weather and roads a good number were out and a yery interesting meeting was held. Owing to tin illness of Prof. Sterling the meeting was called to order by Supt. Isabel ot Fowlervilleand opened by singing. The first paper on the program was Primary Teaching by Miss Jessie Green of the prima f y d e p a r t m e n t , Pinckney. She said there were several questions to ask oneself. W i a t a m f [ doing for the children? What habits are they forming? They must be J.!5PI®ssed_that school life is part of life itself. They must be taught to be neat and orderly. Child study is one of the requsites of the primary teache r . T h e habits formed in the primary room are apt to follow them all through life. They should be taught correct standing, sitting, breathing, etc. and to do it will require a teacher with patience. Keep the children busy at something in order to keep out of mischief. Give them change of employment, not all study and recitation, but amuse them with pict» ures, letters, etc. The discussion was led by Miss Nellie Holt. Children are apt to form opinions as to whom they will be like when they are grown up and the teacher is often taken as a standard. This Leing t e case the teacher must set the example cf a noble, ambitious, moral character and tea:h the noble characters of history. Teach reading by object lessons and so teach them to understand what they are reading. I teach them to do all tbey can for me and others. This was followed by a duet by little Fay Brock way and Stella Haight which was very pleasing. Preparatory English for the High School was an excellent paper by Miss Delia Edith Bullock. Some think to study English is only to read it. The pupil must form the habit of thinking about what they read and especially learn to use the dictionary. The spelling lesson should be the words the pupil understands. Make English real to the pupil and the battle will be half won. Must learn to write it as well as to read it. Many do not hnow how to put their thoughts on paper. The paper was discussed by Supt. Watkins of Brighton. Pupils learn to read and write a great deal by imitation— teachers should be very careful that their speech is correct. Keep the standard high. To make them understand what they read teach then> all you can ot the writer and the conditions under which the article or story was written. A great advantage too is to have them commit to memory many of the best. Prof. C. T. Gawn of Mt. Pleasant said that hearing and seeing good English are two main factors to teach. You may know every rule and not be able to read or speak correctly. We must teach word mastery. The pupil must leara to know at sight what the word is and how to spell it, give it clear pronunciation and understand what it means, then he can read it intelligently. AFTRRNOOX: The afternoon session was opened by a selection by the High School choir wh'ch was excellent and brought out prolonged applause. Should any Livingston county teacher teach for $16 per month, by Wm. Grocinger of Hartland was the first on the afternoon program. He answered it'emphatically No! The average teacher has to spend to much time studying to keep up with the times and keep prepared to teaoh that the teacher cannot afford to teach for $16. The schools and teachers are the Edward A.

(Copyright, 1502, Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, March 9.—From the letter to the Hebrews Dr. Talmago takes a text and illustrates how all offenders may be emancipated; text. Hebrews vliL 12, "Their sins and their Iniquities will I remember no more." The national flower of the Egyptians is the heliotrope, of the Assyrians is the crater lily, of the Hindoos is the marigold, of the Chinese is the chrysanthemum. We have no national flower, but there is hardly any flower more suggestive to many of us than the forget-me-not We all like to be remembered, ar/d one of our misfortunes is that there are so many things we cannot remember. With tibe art of recollection, which I cannot too highly eulogize, is one quite as important, and yet I never heard it applauded. I mean the art of forgetting. There Is a splendid faculty in that direction that we all need to cultivate. We might through that process be ten times happier and more useful than we now are. We have been told that forgetfulnes* is a weakness and ought to be avoided by all possible means. So far from a weakness, my text ascribes it to God. It Is the very top of omnipotence that God is able to obliterate a part of his own memory. If we repent of sin and rightly seek the divine forgiveness, the record of the misbehavior is not only crossed off the books, but God actually lbts it pass out of memory. "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." To remember c o more is to forget, and you cannot make anything else out of it. God's power of forgetting is so great that if two men appeal to him and the one man, after a life all right, gets the sins of "trie heart pardoned and the other man, after a life of abomination, geia pardoned, God remembers no more against one than against the other* The entire past of both the moralist, with his imperfections, and the profligate, with his debaucheries, Is as orach obliterated in the one case as in the other. Forgotten forever and forerer, "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." This sublime attribute of forgetfulnese on the part of God you and I need, in our finite way, to Imitate. You will do well to cast out of your recollection all wrongs done you. During the course of ones life he is sure to be misrepresented, to be lied about, to be injured. There are those who keep these things fresh by frequent rehearsal. Keep nothing in your possession that is disagreeable. Tear up the falsehoods and the slanders and the hypercriticiflms. Initiate t'*e Lord in my text and forget, actually forget, sublimely forget. There is no happiness for you in any other plan or procedure. Yon see All around you in the church and out •of the church dispositions acerb, malign, cynical, pessimistic. Do you know how these men and women got that disposition? It was by the embalmment of things pantherine and viperous. Their soul is a cage of vultures. Everything in them is sour or embittered. The milk of human kindness has been curdled. They do not Relieve in anybody or anything. Where there is one sweet pippin in their orchard there are fifty crabapples. They have never been able to forget. They do not want to forget. They never will forget. Their wretchedness is supreme, for no one can bs happy if he carries perpetually in mind the mean things that have been done him. On the other hand, you can find here and there a man or woman (for there are not many of them) whose disposition is genial and summery. Why? Have they always been treated well? Oh, no. Hard things have been said against them. They have been charged with offlciousness, and their generosities have been set down to a desire for display, and they have many a time been the subject of tittle tattle, and they have had enough small assaults like gnats and enough great attacks' like lions to have made them perpetually miserable if they would have consented to be miserable. Dnt they hare had enough divine philosophy to cast off the annoyances, and they have kept themselves in the sunlight of God's favor and have realized that these oppositions and hindrances are a part of a mighty discipline by which they are to be prepared for usefulness and heaven. Another practical thought: When our fault* are repented of let them go out of mind. If God forgets them we have a* right to forget them. Having once repente<Fof our infelicities and misdemeanors, there is no need of our repenting of them again. While it is right Chat Christians repent of ntw «lis and of recent sins, what is the use of botJbenng yourself and intuiting <H>d by asking him to forgive tins that long ago were forgiven? God hat forgotten them. Why do yon not forgrt them? No; you drag the load on with you, and 365 times a year, if 1 you pray every d*y3 *ypi ask God to re*aH occurrences ^wJ^caV h* has not only forgiven, but forgotten. Quit this folly. I do not ask you leas to realise the turpitude of sin, hut I ask yon to have a higher faith in the promise of God and the full deliverance of his mercy. He does not give a receipt for part payment or so much received on account, but receipt in full, God having for Christ's sake decreed "your sins and your iniquities will I remember'no more." As far as possible let the disagreeables of life drop. We have enough things in the present, and there will be enough in the future, to disturb us without running a special train into the great Goneby to fetch u* as special freight things left behind. Let the train of your thoughts throw off the worse than useless freight of a corrupt and destroyed past and load up with gratitude and faith and holy determination. We do not please God by the cultivation of the miserable. He would rather see us happy than to see us depressed. You would rather see your children laugh than to see them cry, and your Heavenly Father has no fondness for hysterics. Not only forget your pardoned trans- "1 verbally admit It Is a)l light, out I will keep the old grudge,good," There is something in the demeanor that seems to say: "I would not do you harm. 8topfc*»4 the Express* passengers on the famous Euaph* State; Indeed I wish von well but KxRrese h*v* been taken frofcithf paH that n . f h ^ ^ . a ^ ^ n 2 ^ » « a t l a l c»***> rowboats at dead of «i*& that unfortunate affair can never pass t o g w e ^ m f d r o w B | ttto. Ther^weripAll te«.-*ed. twt *hr >... v them. Tne chief stock on hand of some people is to recount in prayer meetings and pulpits what big scoundrels they once were. They not only will not forget their forgiven deficits, but they seem to be determined that the church and the world shall not forget them. If you want to declare that you have been the chief of sinners and extol the grace that could save such a wretch as you were, do so, but do not go into particulars. If you have any scars got in honorable warfare, show them, but if you have scars got in ignoble warfare do not display them. I know you will quote the Bible reference to the horrible pit from which you were digged. Yes, be thankful for that rescue, but do not make displays of the mud of that horrible pit or splash it over other people. Sometimes I have felt in Christian meetings discomfited and unfit for Christian service because I had done none of those things which seemed to be, in the estimation of many, necessary for Christian usefulness, for I never swore a word or ever got drunk or went to compromising places or was guilty of assault and battery or ever uttered a slanderous word or ever did any one a hurt, although I knew my heart was sinful enough, and I said to myself, "There is no use of my trying to do any good, for I never went through those depraved experiences." But afterward I saw consolation in the thought that no one gained any ordination by the laying on of the hands of dissoluteness and infamy. And though an ordinary moral life, ending in a Christian life, may hot be as dramatic a story to tell about, let us be grateful to God rather than worry about it if we have never plunged into outward abominations. It may be appropriate in a meeting of reformed drunkards or reformed debauchees to quote for those not reformed how desperate and nasty you once were, but do not drive a scavenger's cart into assemblages of people the most of whom have always been decent and respectable, But I have been sometimes in great evangelical meetings where people went into particulars about the sins that they once committed, so much so that I felt like putting my hand on my pocketbook or calling for the police lest these reformed men might fall from grace and go at their old business of theft or drunkenness or cut-throatery. If your sins have been forgiven and your life purified, forget the waywardness of the past and allow others to forget it. But what I most want in the light of this text to impress is that we have a sin-forgetting God. Suppose that on the last day—called the last. day because the sun will never again rise upon our earth, the earth itself being flung Into fiery demolition—supposing that on that last day a group of infernal spirits should somehow get near enough the gate of heaven and challenge our entrance and say: "How canst thou, the just Lord, let those souls into the realm of supernal gladness? Why, they said a great many things they never ought to have said, and they did a great many things they ought never to have done. Sinners are they—sinners all." And suppose God should deign to answer. He might say: "Yes, but did not my only Son die for their ransom? Did he not pay the price? Not one drop of blood was retained in his arteries; not one nerve of hit thai was sot wrung in the torture. He took in his own body and soul all the suffering that those sinners deserve, They pleaded that sacrifice; they took the full pardon that I promised to all who, through my Son, earnestly applied for it, and it patted out of my mind that they were offenders. I forgot all tbout i t Yes, I forgot all about it. Their sins and their iniquities do I remember no m o m ' " A-e4a*fiwgetting God! Thar is clear beyond and far' above a sin-pardoning God.; How often we hear it said, "I can forgive, but I can not forget." That is equal to skying, words pass between them, but until death breaks In the same coolness remains. But God lets our pardoned offenses go into, oblivion. He never throws them up to us again. He feels as kindly toward us as though we had been spotless and positively angelic all along. Many years ago a family consisting of the husband and wife and little girl of two years lived far out in a caoln on a western prairie. The husband took a few cattle to market. Before he started his little child asked him to buy for her a doll, and he promised. He could after the sale of the cattle purchase household necessities and certainly would not forget the doll he had promised. In the village to which he went he sold the cattle and obtained the groceries for his household and the doll for his little darling. He started home along the dismal road at nightfall. As he went along on horseback a thunderstorm broke, and in the most gressfohs, but allow others~to forget-lonely—part of-the road and in the--date&—Hnndrerifi of families have heaviest part of the storm he heard a child's cry. Robbers had been known to do some bad work along that road, and it was known that this herdsman had money with him, the price of the cattle sold. The herdsman first thought it w a s a stratagem to have him ha It and be despoiled of his treasures, but the child's cry became more keen and rending, and so he dismounted and felt around in the darkness and all in vain until he thought of a hollow that he remembered near the road where the child might be, and for that he started and, sure enough, found a little one fagged out and drenched of the storm and almost dead. He wrapped it up as well as he could and mounted his horse and resumed his journey home. Coming in sight of his cabin, he saw it all lighted up and supposed his wife had kindled all these lights so as to guide her husband through the darkness. But no. The house was full of excitement, and the neighbors were gathered and stood around the wife of the house, who was insensible as from some great calamity. On inquiry the returned husband found that the little child of that cabin was gone. She had wandered out to meet her father and get the present he had promised and the child was lost. Then the father unrolled from the blanket the child he had found in the fields, and, lo, it was his own child and the lost one of the prairie home and the cabin quaked with the shout over the lost one found! How suggestive of the fact that once we were lost in the open fields or among the mountain crags, God's wandering children, and he found UB, dying in the tempest, and wrapped us in the mantle of his love and fetched us home, gladness and congratulation bidding us welcome. The fact is that the world does not know God or they would all flock to him. So I set open the wide gate of my text, inviting you all to come into the mercy and pardon of God—yea, still further, into the ruins of the place where once was kept the knowledge of your Iniquities. The place has been torn down and the records destroyed, and you will find the ruins more dilapidated and broken and prostrate than the ruins of Melrose or Kenilworth, for from these last ruins you can pick up some fragment of a sculptured stone or you can see the curve of vsome broken arch, but after your repentance and your forgiveness you cannot find in all the memory of God a fragment of your pardoned sins so large as a needle's point. "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." bix different kinds of sounds were heard on that night which was interjected into the daylight of Christ's assassination. The neighing of the warhorses— for some of the soldiers were in the saddle—was one sound, the bang of the hammers was a second sonnd, the jeer of malignants was a third sound, the weeping of friends end followers was a fourth sound, the splash of blood on the rocks was a fifth sound, and the groan of the expiring Lord was a sixth sound. And they all commingled into one sadness. Over a place in Russia where wolves were pursuing a load of travelers and to save them a servant sprang from the sled into the mouths of the wild beasts and was devoured and thereby the other lives were saved are Inscribed the words, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend." Many tf surgeon in our own time hat in tracheotomy with his own lips drawn from the windpipe of a diphtheritic patient that which cured the patient and slew the surgeon, and all have honored the self-sacrifice. But all other scenes of sacrifice i>ale before this most illustrious martyr of all time and all eternity. After that agonizing ..spectacle in behalf of our fallen race nothing about the sin forgetting God la too stupendous for my faith, and I accept the promise, and will you not ail accept it?

Three weeks ago the greater part of its business section was burned out and Sunday the quarter occupied by the houses of the poorer class were inunbeen made homeless by the overflow of the Passaic river, and the country for miles around the city Is under water. So far but one death has been reported. It is estimated that the loss wrought by the flood is as large as that by the fire, while it is said there is little or uo insurance-to-eover- it. Many more fam-- illes have been rendered homeless by the flood than were made so by the Are, and the relief committee whose labors were becoming lighter daily, is now hard at work seeking to assist those who have lost everything by the water. About midnight Sunday night the water began falling and save the suffering of the homeless the worst is over. A Mild Porm of Slavery. The extent of slavery In the Philippines was discussed by Gov.

He said slavery was confined to the southern Moro islands, and included men, women and children who were slaves for debt, according to the statements made by the Datos. The slaves could buy their liberty, but until this was done the condition ran from generation to generation. The slaves were members of the family and the relation was comparatively mild, If it was possible to consider any form of slavery as mild. Gov.

Som* raoU Thai Devotees of the Gam* May Not S a o v . Scotland, aa everybody knows, Is the land where golf originated and the land where it most nourishes. But it the law was strictly enforced north of the Tweed it would go hard with the players of the royal game in "Bonnie Scotland." Golf nlayera there may not know it, but they are liable to a sentence of death for their indulgence in their favorite sport. Technically this is literally a fact In ancient times, when Scotland always had work for her soldiers to do, all young men were required to perfect themselves in archery. They preferred to play golf, and so serious a rival did the gixne become that it was for a time suppressed and made a capital offense. That curious law never has been repealed, and may still be found on the statute book. There seems to be no record, however, of the law ever having been enforced. This legislation in regard to golf reminds one of Kipling's charge that football and cricket are occupying the attention of the,youth of England to the exclusion of the more serious business of fighting—his attack on "The fiacneled fool at the wicket and the muddled oaf at the goal."

A dignified bishop while pausing along a London street heard three vegetable peddlers engaged in a rather blasphemous argument Intending to rebuke them, he said to one of the offenders, "My good man, where did you learn to swear like that?'

Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another lor muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a partic u k r psrtof the body, but it will sustain every other part: Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Girenr-'s August Flower, the favorite mt the healthy millions.

The matter was taken up with the department through congressman Smith, who has secured a modification of the order, allowing all 18-inch waterproof boxes to be a proper recepticle for mail.—Fenton Independent. The institution and extension of free mail delivery in rural communities is one of the more important ot the policies onwhich government plumed—rtself for the past few year3, and neither the popularity ncr the genuine beneficence of the system is likely to t e questioned. The genuiness of the desire for the service is attested not only by the many Thousands of routes already in operation but by the equal number of applications waiting to be acted on. But almost universal approval ot the plan itself is accompanied and modified by a co-extensive complaint as to one detail in the method of its administration, and this complaint signifies not a latent discontent, but an active opposition, and a firm conviction that the government is not only making invidious distinctions be tween classes of patrons of the postal service, but is rendering important aid in buncoing the farumr for the benefit of private parties. This is seen in the ministration permitting the postoffice department to continue its encouragement and protection of j •-—«• an obooxious monopoly ';. the sale of mail boxes ior free rural delivery routes. - *OTJO£* We the undersigned, do h*r«bf agree to refund the money on a 5 ^ cent bottle of Down's Elixir I f i t doea not cure any ccugh, cold, whooping congh, or throat trouble.

"Uncle Joe" Cannon, who fell heir to the title of "Watch Dog of the Treasury" after the demise ot the venerable Holman of Indiana, was in the-- midst of a heated discussion on the Nicaragua canal bill when suddenly, after making a positive assertion, he shouted at the top of his voice: "If T am wrong, who will correct me?" "Ah, I would not undertake such an arduous task," replied the versatile Mr. Hepburn, as he arose in his place and sank hack again before Mr. Cannon could return the fire. The house roared.

He hurried over to the table, upon which he laid a couple of bank notes, and tearing a sheet of paper from his vade mecvim, wrote upon . it these worj|s: "Aocept this from a friend. Hope for brighter things in the f u t u r e - trust in God." A movement on the part of Mazette warned him it was time to be gone— he only lingered long enough to pin the mosey and the note to the table and then walked hastily down the stairs. Once outside the marquis walked toward the Strand with a swinging stride—he seemed to have thrown off some of the cynical moodiness that had marked his intercourse with all men since striking London. Finally he drew up at a shop almost in the shadow of St. Clement's church, in a neighborhood famous for its literary and artistic atmosphere. Over the door was the sign of Duval, sacred t o many who had handled brush or crayon in the world's metropolis. M/ Duval saw a prospective purchaser, and of course, was all smiles. Miniatures—certainly, he always kept them in stock and had the means of reproducing any photograph at short notice. * He watched the customer separate half a dozen of the little paintings on ivory from the rest, and marveled at the ease with which he had thus picked out all the works of one brush. "These are the only decent ones you have. Tell me how much for the lot," he said, quietly. Mr. Duval named a price far in excess of their intrinsic value, judging that he must have been blind to their merits, and was' immediately cursing himself under his breath for not having added on a third more, for the marquis carelessly threw the amount down. —This artist pleases^ me, sir. I would like to have a dozen family portraits done by the same brush. For each of these I shall pay five pounds to the artist and your commission of one pound. Is that a bargain, M. Duval?" The dealer snatched at it eagerly. Consider it settled, then. Now. I am an expert at this work. It is evident to me the artist is a lady." 'Monsieur is quite" correct," bowing Jow and rubbing his hands together with pleasure. "Very good. There is no need of paper between us—a nudum factum is quite sufficient. But, my dear Monsieur Duval, remember, they must be by the same brush." "By to-morrow, monsieur, I shall hand you in a package of family pictures which I wish to add to my collection of miniatures. I shall also leave the money here, knowmg you to be an honest man, to be paid to the artist, as fast as she completes each ivory." "Mon Dieu; it is one great pleasure. Would that there were more customers like you, m'sieur. It would then hi a happiness to be in trade," said the flattered and delighted dealer in pictures. The marquis took his leave, filled with a sensation of having started the ball rolling, nor was it until he had gone that M. Duval thought to recall the fact that he had failed to ask his princely customer's name. he was compelled to drink the dregs, for he had lost. Then, looking up into the face of his opponent, he saw a sparkle in the eyes of the Marquis, a glow of triumph that gave him a cold chill. Where had he seen that same look before? Cudgel his brain as he would, he could not remember. "I a m done for to-night, Marquis; you have won all I possess; your luck is prodigious," he said, as he rose. "Ah! indeed, you are kind to say so, captain; but I assure you it was not always the case. The demon of misfortune has had his little fling at my door, even as be now knocks at yours, but you see I lived through it, and my hour has come. Shall we enjoy any further social play, captain? I assure -yeu^ii ia-a^rare pWqiir» for me to engage in this little pastime with a gentleman of your Bkill and attainments." s "I hope to see you again if I am able to scrape any part of my resources together. If not, Marquis, you can be s a t i s f i e d t h at I am down, to bed rock, I never yield, while I have a single weapon left in my hand," he said, grimly. "I can well believe that, captain," and, returning Livermore's stiff bow, he watched the soldier saunter among the other club members, chatting with this one and laughing at some sally as though nothing had occurred to disturb his equanimity. The Marquis frowned. He knew this man was absolutely ruined, and yet his victory had been robbed of half its sweetness because he had failed to quench that indomitable soldier spirit that refused to knuckle under at misfortune's call. That afternoon he attended a garden party at Lady Catherwood's palatial home. Here he was, as usual, the lion of the occasion, and his hostess was kept busy introducing him. Finally they approached a single figure, standing under a royal palm that had been hroxrghtfrom the- famous Gather wood conservatory foi\the occasion—the figure of a young woman. Her back was toward those who advanced, but he could catch the queenly poise of her proud head. If her face did not disappoint the anticipation aroused by this first glance, she must be a fit subject for an artist's dream. "My dear, I have succeeded in rescuing the Marquis, and bring him a captive in my train to pay his respects to my guest and kinswoman," said Lady Catherwood, blandly. The queenly figure turned, and in so doing came under the soft light of a nearby lantern. Thus the Marquis found himself face to face with a spectre of the past— again in memory he could see this gloriously beautiful creature gracefully gliding about, in tho dance, while mandolins and guitars struck weird chords that served as time to her flying feet; again he could see the gay sash tied in a knot that ornamented one plump shoulder, while a shining knife fastened by a scarlet ribbon, decorated the other, the cold, cruel blade nestling against her heaving bosom as she thus invited her hot-blooded admirers to meet in mortal combat, for the guest of Lady Catherwood was no other than Senorita Juanita. the belle of Gautartca. BOOK THREE. The Modem Monte Cristo. Two weeks more sufficed to make the Marquis of Montezuma famous in London. Every day new accounts of astonishing features connected with his life appeared in the papers. Naturally the Marquis was the most nought after man in all London. Bushels of invitations poured in upon him over which his secretaries were busy all day, their labor being usually a polite note, declining the honor on account of pressing engagements. The Marquis accepted a few invitations, bnd these generally took him to the chibs, though the season was so late few notables could be met with there. Captain Livermore had forced the Hon. Prentice Langford to keep his word—he had early made the acquaintance of the American Midas, and they reached the friendly stage of intercourse that is marked by a game between gentlemen, but somehow, for the first time iu hia life, the genial captain found luck run harshly, and. instead of handling some of the wonderful wealth of the nabob, he was stripped of all the ready cash he had at hand. Certain of retrieving his fortune*, he played time after time. Finally he staked his all on a last chance. Evil fortune followed him to the very end— CHAPTER XVI, From Over the Sea. The Marquis of Montezuma bowed low. His face was as calm and unruffled as the summer sky; not «ven for an instant did he betray the slightest emotion, and yet the surprise must havo inwardly staggered him. The presence of Dona Juanita here, in England—did it portend disaster to his long-cherished plan6? As for the haughty daughter of the dons, she was affable enough, and smiled while extending a dainty hand which he was compelled to accept. Lady Catherwood had scurried away to look after some necessary details connected with her duties as hostess, for one cannot entertain and enjoy themselves at the same time. A silence fell upon the two. The senorita was looking at her companion under half-closed lids, and he awaited what he knew was coming —awaited it with that caimness natural to security. •'Senor Jack, between you and me, there is no need of this coldness, this secrecy. Surely you could not believe me 60 blind that I did not recognize you at the first glance." said the girl, suddenly laying a hand on his arm. "I realized that and I have been simply waiting until you might see fit to speak, You tee I admit all you say—I am free to confess it," was the cool reply he made, "Ah, Senor Jack, you ar« a sphinx— I can make nothing of you. Let* mo commence upon another tack. You have declared yourself incapable of affection, yet I have known you to lean upon one man with sueh confidence that I am sure he occupied a place i n your heart." The Marquis showed signs of emotion at last—his wonderful reserve had been pierced. "Yes," he replied, sadly. "To this day General Barrajo has not been seen in Oautarica," she continued. "Poor Pedro—faithful friend," he muttered. "You alone know his fate, Senor Jack." "Yes, but all the world shall soon know it, for I have had its feats of arms blazoned upon a stone just about to be sent over. It will be set up in San Jose Cemetery, where h i s body has lain these two years." "Is it possible—his death then is a mystery—it was connected with your own adventures?" "True, Senorita. Together we sought a treasure, shoulder to shoulder we met those who would have robbed us of our prize. We conquered, but Barrajo fell, bleeding in every vein. Our written compact gave the survivor all. His dying wish was that his body should be removed to consecrated ground. There he has lain under a stone marked only 'Don Pedro, who gave his life in battle for a Friend.' It shall be so no longer—all Gautarica shall ring with the valor of his last_id_eed, and crowd to his grave to do the brave old hero honor."'~ The Marquis for once had been thrown oft his guard by the revival of these never-to-be-forgotten scenes, and as memory again brought the heroism of Barrajo before him his face lighted up with an enthusiasm it had not been allowed to disclose, lo, these many days. And Dona Juanita, seeing the transitory change, surveyed him with kind- •flng eyes. "Ah! Senor Jack, such satisfaction is sweet to the heart of those who have loved and been thrown aside. I sympathize with you, and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to be allowed a share in your plans— to make your interests my own. Perhaps a woman's wit might help you to secure a quick and terrible revenge." "You mean well, Dona Juanita; I thank you for the interest shown in my welfare, but whatever my plans may be, they must -concern- me alone., I could not permit any one to join me in their prosecution, least of all you, whom I have known and respected in other days. So I beg that you will forget what you said, and let us hold intercourse as friends who have met after long separation." One look she gave him; it was like the glowering stare of a tigress about to leap; then her mood suddenly changed, and she laughed in a mellow way that had no trace of anger in it—in times past this peculiarity had been very manifest in her disposition-r-the sudden change of front such as marks the consummate actress and the dangerous woman. "Just as you say, Marquis, but I have a rarely obstinate nature, and, having set my mind on any object it is hard to balk me. Here comes my delightful hosteBs and kinswoman. At some later date I trust to see you again, when we may chat over scenes in the misty past." He nodded assent. The Marquis was glad when my lady dragged him away to another part of the garden to meet others of her fair guests; but he understood what hidden meaning lay beneath the words which the black-eyed Spanish beauty floated after him, and which would arise many times to haunt him: "Au revoir, Marquis; I always keep my word!" The opportunity had come at length. A few hasty words from his hostess and the Marquis found himself face to face with the woman whose falseness to her vows had sent him, a smooth-faced young man. an exile from England five years before. He had prepared for the meeting, and not by the quiver of an eyelid did he betray himself. Fedora was as lovely and charming as ever, more matronly, perhaps, but showing no sign oi the passage of time. Several times the Marquis knew his companion was looking at him intently, thinking herself unobserved. Perhaps some faint memory was struggling for existence in her mind, some floating straw at which she clutched in vain. Sooner or later doubtless she would awaken to the discovery of his identity, but when that time came the Marquis believed he would have so aroused the old passion that must, during these years, have lain dormant in her heart, that she would even give up a ruined husband, a wretched homo, and flee with him.

Andree Won Murdered. A report sent out from the Hudson Day post at Fort Churchill, about two ami a half years ago, that Andree, the Swedish aeronaut and his associates had boon killed, by Eskimos, is confirmed by advices received at the head oliice of the company here. Alston ChuivhiU, factor at Churchill, which is the company's most northerly ..post (in the west coast of Hudson's bay. has "written that after about t w o years' search, the men sent out by him have returned with n report similar to the one first published. Traces of the daring balloonist and his associates were followed for hundreds of miles, but it was 'impossible to lovate the tribe who caused tho death. The story of the searchers is that Arctic Eskimos saw "oimiak" (one of their largest boatsi floating in the air. When it settled to the ground three •white men strangely dressed came out with guns, which they indiscreetly Jiml. Andree ami his assistants wore killed with huskee IMJWS, and everything of value taken. The searchers found knives, tobacco ami cartridges supposed to have belonged to Andree, in possession of one of the most northern tribes, but could get no further information. News that Andree undoubtedly met his death at the hands of the Eskimos has been forwarded to the Swedish government. Punston'i Plain Word*. Brig-lten.

It. is perfectly proper for us to have all scrts of opinions as to what we should do with the Philippine islands, but. for heaven's sake, let us keep them to ourselves until every square inch of that territory recognizes the sovereignty of the United States." Gen. Funston then^ gave many examples to show that the Filipiiu leaders were not true patriots. He mentioned the slaying of Antonio Luna, who was ordered slain by Aguiualdo. Gen. Funston said that Aguiualdo had told him In regard to Luna's death: "I had him killed simply because he would have been dictator instead of myself." "Would you imagine tJeorge Washington doing anything like that?" asked Gen. Funston. Germany has 800 more physicians than it had in 1900. The present number is about 28,175.

ANOTHER GRAND REPORT. From BU Majsntn OMkysvvT ' ~ Portsmouth, Xaglaavd, y*btn vpwda of if»oo* Mf ^ Cotxatantl^ EvploVod. * Some time ago the Portsmouth Times and Nsvai Gasette published a* moat thrilling and remarkable experience of the wife of Mr. Frederick Payne, himself connected with the Portsmouth dockyard for many years. The report produced a great sensation, not only in Portsmouth, but throughout the country, being considered of sufficient importance for reproduction and editorial comment by the leading metropolitan and provincial preas of England, as showing the marvelous power which S t Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for Rheumatism, its application having effected a perfect cure in the case of Mrs. Payne, after having been a helpless cripple and given up by several physicians. We have now further evidence of its intrinsic value as a Pain Conqueror. Our readers will do well to follow the intelligent and highly interesting details as given in Mrs. Rabbets own words: "To the Proprietors St. Jacobs Oil— "Gentlemen: My husband, who is a shipwright in His Maje3ty'm dockyard, met with an accident to hif ankle and leg, spraining both so ba/ly that his leg turned black from hist knee t o h i s toe;. The doctor said^ It would be months before he could put his foot to the ground, and it was doubtful whether he would ever get proper use of his leg again. "A few days after the accident I had a book left at the door telling aooutSC" Jacob's Oil, so I procured a bottle from our chemist, Mr. Arthur Creswell, 379 Commercial Road. I began to use St. Jacob's Oil, and you may guess my surprise when in about another week from that date my husband could not only stand, but could even walk about, and in three weeks from the time 1 first used the Oil my husband was back at v/ork, and everybody talking about his wonderful recovery. This is not all. Seeing what St. Jacob's Oil could do gave me faith in your Vogeler" s Curative Compound, also favorably mentioned in the book left at my house. I determined to try the compound on my little girl, who was suffering from a dreadful skin disease, the treatment of which has cost me large sums of money in going from one doctor to another with her, all to no purpose. She has taken* two bottles of Vogeiers Curative Compound, and one would how hardly take her for- t h e same child. Her skin has such a nice healthy color after the sallow look she has always had. "I shall never cease to be thankful for the immense benefit we have dorived from these two great remedies of yours. I think it a duty to recommend these medicines now I have proved their value. (Signed.) "Elizabeth S. Rabbets, "93 Grafton, Street, Mile End, "Landport, Portsmouth, England." A liberal free sample of Vogeler's Compound will be sent by addressing St. ..snob's Oil, Ltd., Baltimore. The above honest, straightforward statement of Mrs. Rabbets evidence is stronger and far more convincing than pages of paid advertisements, which, though in themselves attractive, yet lack that convincing proof which Mrs. Rabbets' description of her own experience supplies. St. Jacob's Oil has a larger sale throughout the world than that of all other remedies for outward application combined, and this can only be accounted for from the fact of its superiority over all others. It is liktlv that we would see less t« condemn in our neighbors, if God ooutd see more to commend in us.

Monday at about 1:30 o'clock the cry of fire started the citizens of this village and in a very few moments the residnno^ of M. C. Wilson was in ruins. Help enough arrived in time however to save nearly all of the goods above the cellar but nothing.was saved there. The fire originated from a defective chimney and with the ^ale that was blowing nothing could be done toward? saving the house (at least in this town) and all stood by and let it burn after getting out the goods. ...r, Wilson carried light insurance on the b u J d i n g which of course was a total loss. He has moved in with his son in-law Ruben VVright. No, we are not going to say anything about the need of fire protection in the village—every fire speaks for that and we have got through. Edward A.

On Saturday evening last the members of the Webb neighborhood met at the home ol Lyle Brings and wife in this village and held their regular neighborhood supper. It seems that in the faiui neighborhood where Mr. Briggs moved from they have been in the habit of holding suppers at their different homes every t w o weeks dnring t h e winter months and after the supper a visit. They have n o ^ dropped Mr. Briggs from their number although be has become a resident of our village and la^t Saturday evening about twenty came to his borne and a genuine oyster supper was indulged in. To say that they enjoved themselves would be putting it. mild. There seems to be some rivalry between some of the male members as to who can eat the most and when we say that besides a quantity of fine biscuit, pickles, cakes, pies, etc., three gallons ot oysters were devoured, some idea of the contest can be imagined. After the supper, which is held at 7 o'clock, Mr. Briggs brought oat his) phonograph and entertained the company until 10:30 when all bade o»e another gotfd-bye and wended their way homeward to awtut the next banquet.

M§WfeA6—In this .discourse Dr. Talmage advocates the Jtdea that the Christian reUgion *s aa good for this world aa the next, and will help us to do anything that ought to be done a t all; I Timothy iv, 8, "Godliness is profitable unto all things, having^promise of the life that now is and of that which Is to come." There is a gloomy and passive w a y of waiting for events to come upon us, and there is a heroic way of going out to meet them, strong in God and fear* ing nothing, ^QU^ are expecting prosperity, and I &m determined, so far as I have anything to do with it, that yon shall not be disappointed, and, therefore. I propose, as God may help me to project upon your attention a new element of sueeess. You ^ a v e in the cosiness firm frugality, patience, Industry, perseverance, economy—a very strong business firm—out there needs to be one member added, might* ier than them all, and not a silent partner, either, the one introduced by my text,- ^Godliness, whieh-4« profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is a s well as of that which is to come." I suppose you are all willing to admit that godliness is important in its eternal relations, but perhaps some of you say, "All I want is an opportunity to say a prayer before I die, and all will be well/' There are a great many people who suppose that if they can finally get safely out of this world into a better world they will have exhausted the entire advantage of our holy religion. They talk as though religion were a mere nod of recognition which we are to give to the Lord Jesus on our way up to a heavenly mansion; a s though it were an admission ticket* of no use except to give in at the door of heaven. Now, while I would not throw any slur on a postmortem religion, r want to-day to eulogfee an antemortem religion. A religion that is of no use to you while you lWe will be of no use to you when you die. I have always noticed that when grace is very low in a man s heart he talks a great deal in prayer meetings atiout deaths and about coffins and about graves and about -churchyards. I have noticed that the healthy Christian, the man who is living near to God and is on the straight road to heaven, is full of jubilant satisfaction and talks about the duties of this life, understanding well that if God helps him to lire right he will help him to die right. t Now, in the first place, I remark that godliness is good for a man'.i physical health. I do not mean' to say that it will restore a broken down •constitution or drive rheumatism from the limbs, or neuralgia from the temples or pleurisy from the side, but I do mean to say that it gives one such habits and puts one in such condition as are most favorable J o r physical health. That I believe, and that I avow. T h e sense of insecurity which sometimes hovers over an unregenerate man or pounces upon him with tae blast of ten thousand trumpets of terror is most depleting and most exhausting, while the feeling that all things are working together for our gfibd now and for our everlasting welfare ts conducive to physical health. Yon will observe that godliness induces industry, which is the foundation of good health. There is no law of hygiene that will keep a lazy man well. There is n o such thing as good physical condition without positive work of some kind, although you should sleep on down of swan or ride in carriage of softest upholstery or have on your table all the luxuries that were poured from the wine Tats of Ispahan and Shiraz. Oh, how important in this day, when so much i s said about anatomy and physiology and therapeutics and some new style of medicine is ever and anon springing upon the world, that you should understand that the highest school of medicine is the school of Christ, which declares that "godliness is profitable unto all things, having the promise of the life that now is as well a s of that which is to come." So if you start out two men in the world with equal physical health, and then one of them shall get the religion of Christ in his heart* and the other shall not get it, the one who becomes a son of the Lord Almighty will live the longer. "With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Again I remark that godliness is good tor the intellect. I know s o m e have supposed that just as soon as a man enters into the Christian life his intellect goes into a bedwarflng process. So fa* from that, religion will give new |>rttllanoy.io the intellect, new strength t o T O e invagination,' new force to t h e "irtpt-and'wider swing t o all the Intel* fregfel) ftwultiet. Christianity i s the nsjfcl Wafial tire at which philosophy tUO&S*tc£JIS L'r!s?M?9t torch. Th* religion oi* Christ la the fountain out of which learning "has dipped its clearest draft Religion has given new energy to. poesy, • weeping in Dr. Young's "Night Thoughts," teaching in Cowper'a "Task," flaming in Charles Wesley'- hymns and rushing with archangelic splendor through Milton's "Paradise Lost." Is it possible that a religion which builds such Indestructible monuments and which lifts its ensign on the highest promontories of worldly power can have any effect upon a man's intellect but elevation? Now, I commend godliness as the best mental discipline, better than belles lettres to purify the taste, better than mathematics to harness the mind to all intricacy and elaboration, better than logic to marshal the intellectual forces for onset and victory. It will go with Hush Miller and show him the footprints of the Creator in the red sandstone. It will go with the astronomer on the great heights where God shepherds the great flock of worlds that wander on the hilU of heaven, answering his voice as he calls them all by their names. Again I remark that godliness is profitable for one's disposition. Lord Ashley, before he went into, a great battle, was heard to offer this prayer: "0 Lord, I shall be very busy t o d a y ! If I forget thee, forget me n o t " With such a Christian disposition as that a man is independent of all circumstances. Religion has tamed the wilde s t n a t u r e s . I t h a s t u r n e d f r e t f u l n e s s into gratitude, despondency into good cheer, and those who w e e hard and ungovernable and uncompromising have been made pliable and conciliatory. Good resolution, reformatory effort, wiir not effect the change. It takes a mightier arm and a mightier hand to bend evil habits than the hand that bent the bow of Ulysses, and it takes a stronger las60 than ever held the buffalo on the prairie. A man cannot go forth with any human weapons and contend successfully against these Titans armed with uptorn mountains. But you have known men into whose spirit the influence of the gospel of Christ came until their disposition was entirely changed. "Oh," says some one, "I have a rough, jagged, impetuous nature, and religion can't do anything for me." Do you knew that Martin Luther and Robert Newton and Richard Baxter had impetuous and all consuming natures, yet t h e grace of^God turned t h e m into=the mightiest usefulness? A manufacturer cares but very little for a stream that slowly runs through the meadow, but values a torrent that leaps from rock to rock and rushes with mad energy tnrough the valley and out toward the sea. Along that river you will find fluttering shuttles and grinding mill and flashing water wheel. And a nature the swiftest, the most rugged and the most tremendous—that is the nature God turns into greatest usefulness. Oh, how many that have been pugnacious and hard to please and irascible and more bothered about the mote in their neighbor's eye than about the beamlike ship timber in their own eye who have been entirely changed by the grace of God and have found out that "godliness is profitable for the life that now is as well as for the life tq comeV' Now, religion will hinder your business if it be a bad business or if it be a good business wrongly conducted. If you tell lies behind the counter, if you use false weights and measures, if you put sand in sugar and beet juice in vinegar and lard in butter and sell for one thing that which ts another thing, then religion will interfere (.with that business, but a lawful business, lawfully conducted, will find the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ its mightiest auxiliary. Religion will give an equipoise of spirit It will keep you from ebullitions of temper, and you know a great many fine businesses have been blown to atoms by bad temper. It will keep you from worriment about frequent loss; it will keep you industrious and prompt; it will keep you back from squandering and from dissipation; it will give you a kindness of spirit which will be easily distinguished from that mere store courtesy which shakes hands violently with you, asking about the health of your family, when there is no anxiety to know whether your child is wen or sick, but the anxiety is to know how many dozen cambric pocket handkerchiefs you will take and pay cash down* It will prepare you for the practical duties of everyday life. I do not mean to say that religion will make us financially rich, but I do say that it will give us. it will assure us of, a comfortable sustenance at the start, a comfortable subsistence all the way through, and it will help us to direct the bank, to manage the traffic, to conduct all our business matters, and to make the most insignificant affair of o u t life *-matter of vast Importance, glorified by Christian principle. In New York city there was a mer* chant, hard in his dealings with his fellows, who had written ovtr , h i s oanXIng house o^,Wi.counting? haute room, "No compromise." Then When some merchant got in.a crisis and went down—no fault of his, but a eonjunction of evil circuantancei, and all W the other merchants were willing te epmnro^nlSe-^-they would take 75 cent* on t h e dollar or 50 cants or 20 cents— coming-to this man last of all, he said: "No compromise. I'll take 100 cents on the dollar, and I can aftord to/watt." Well, the wheel turned, and after awhile that man was i n a crisis of business, and h e sent out his agent to compromise, and the' agent said to the merchants, "Will you take 50 cents pn t h e dollar?" "No." "Will y o u tafce anything?" "We'll take 100 cents on the dollar. N o compromise." And the man who wrote that inscription over his counting house door died in destitution. Oh, we want more of t h e kindness of the gospel and the spirit of love in our business enterprises! How many young men have found in the religion of Jesus Christ a practical help? How many there are to-day who could testify out of their own experience that godliness is profitable for the life that now is! There were times in their business career when they went here for help and there for help and yonder for help and got no help until they knelt before the Lord crying for his deliverance, and the Lord rescued them. In a bank not far from New York— a village bank—an officer could hot balance his accounts. He had worked at them day after day, night after night, and he was sick nigh unto death as a result. He knew he had not taken one farthing from that bank, but somehow, for some reason, inscrutable t h e n , t h e ac^blih^n^buldrnot Balance; The time rolled on and the morning of the day when the books should pass under the inspection of the other officers arrived, and he felt himself in awful peril, conscious of his own integrity, but unable to prove that integrity. That morning he went to the bank early, and he knelt down before God and told the whole story of mental anguish, and he said: "O Lord, I have done right I havo preserved my integrity, but here I am about to be overthrown unless thou shouldst come to my rescue. Lord, deliver me." And for one hour he continued the prayer before God, and then he arose and went t o an old blotter that he had forgotten all about. He opened it, and there lay a sheet of figures which he only needed to add to another line of figures—some line of figures he had forgotten and knew not where he had laid them—and the accounts were balanced, and the Lord delivered him. You are an infidel if you-do-not-be--- lieve it. The Lord delivered him. God answered his prayer, as he will answer your prayer, oh, man of business, in every crisis when you come to him. Now, if this be s o , then I am persuaded, as you are, of the fact that the vast majority of Christians do not fnlly test the value of their religion. They are like a farmer to California with 15,000 acres of good wheat land and culturing only a quarter of an acre. Why do you not g o forth and make the religion of Jesus Christ a practical affair every day of your business life and all this year, beginning now, and to-morrow morning putting into practical effect this holy religion and demonstrating that godliness is profitable here as well as hereafter? How can you get along without this religion? Is your physical health so good you do not want this divine tonic? Is your mind so clear, s o v a s t so comprehensive, that y o a do not want this divine inspiration? Is your worldly business so thoroughly established that you have no use for that religion which has been the help and deliverance of tens of thousands of men in crises of worldly trouble? And if what I have said is' true then you see what a fatal blunder it is when a man adjourns to life's expiration the use3 of religion. A man w h o postpones religion to sixty years of age gets religion fifty years too late. He may get into the kingdom of God by final repentance, but what can compensate him for a whole? lifetime unalleviated and uncomforted? You want religion to-day in. the training of that child. You will want reBgioh tomorrow in dealing with that customer. You wanted religion yesterday to curb your temper. Is your arm strong enough to beat your w a y through the floods? Can you, without being incased in the mail of God's eternal help, go forth amid the assault of all hell's sharpshooters? Can you walk alone across these crumbling graves and amid these gaping earthquakes? Can you, waterlogged and mast shivered, outlive the gale? Oh, how many tnere have been who, postponing the religion of Jesus Christ, have plunged into mistakes they never could correct, although they lived sixty years after, and like serpents crushed under cart wheels dragging their mauled bodies under the rocks t o die. So these men have fallen under the wheel of awful calamity, while a vast multitude of others have taken t h e religion of Jesus- Christ into everyday life and, first, in practical haataess affairs, and, second, on the throne of heavenly triumph, have Illustrated, while angels looked on and a universe approved, the glorious truth that "godliness Is profitable u n t * alV things, having the promise of t a t life which now i s as well as of that which is to cons,'* »<i i i < • i ' » i • • • The average man deceive*.himself oftener than ht does others. 5 ^mrmmmmM" A Terrible Bxgteeleaeo.

At tho termination of this remarkable narrative, the man stolidly awaited tho nsnal string of expletives. But the Mater stood silent, deep in meditation. A. happy conceit had occurred to him and he was lost in admiration of its neatness and his cleverness. "Tho boy's name shall be Mozart Mendelssohn," he said, with an unctuous relish of his own good thing; "Moz-art Mendels-sohn," he repeated, adapting the pronunciation to the slow mind of his hearer; "then Maria can keep on calling him Mose, and you can keep on calling him sonny, and by the Lord Harry! Adam himself couldn't do better than that." So Mozart Mendelssohn It was; and If ever a small boy deserved a great name, this one did. Pitiably crippled and misshapen the little follow was; but genius lookeu out of his dark, bright eyes, and spoke through his slender, ebony fingers. After a few preliminary trials, he could handle any instrument with a skill and expression rarely attained by months of practice; and, along this line, the limit of the Major'B generosity was the limit of his purse. Seated on the wide stone step of the west veranda, whilo the Major rocked to and fro above him, with a mint julep or a toddy at his side, Mozart disappeared. Ana,- m less than a month, he would be playing thereon, to tho Major's intense delight and t h e neighborhood's intense disapproval. . There was but one drawback to the Major's enjoyment; Mozart could not play before strangers. In vain was he brought before expectant guests; flute, violin, cornet or banjo, it was all tn© same; his trembling fingers refused their office, and his frightened nppeal. "I cyarn't play, Majah; I'se sheered," never failed to bring a speedy release. But he could always play for tho Major. And, as the years went by, the bond of protection and of loyalty, of care and fidelity, of mutual love and tenderness, cemented these hearts In a friendship that was unalterable. And when, at last, the shadow of disgrace- "His noMo shall ho Mozart Mendelssohn," he said. would fill the air with soothing melody, n o t t his watchful eye took note thai tho > last drop had disappeared down tfco, Major's capacious throat. Then, and not till then, with clasped hands around h i s crooked knee, and eyes fixed firmly on the distant landscape, weald Mosart say, "I b'leve T cud play a fiddle." . "Won. blank my eyes!" tho Major would »00*, *** fiddle! and it's jnst like yonr domed Impudence to think I ought to got you one. A fiddle!

The Major's stalwart form was no better known in hi* favorite haunts than was the distorted figure of the little negro. Awaiting the end of the Major's carousals, watching over his druniten slumbers, hungry and cold unless supplied with food and warmth by bar-room charity; his love and patience were sublime. If only he could have played for the crowds who, fired by the Major's boasts, made nightly requests for an exhibition of his skill, money and plenty would be his; his and the Major's. So, night after night, he tried; but night after night he failed, until, one bleak December evening, the boisterous crowd, moved by a common Impulse of compassion and disappointment, called out to the Major, after one of Mozart's ineffectual attempts: "Lacker the nigger up, Major; lieker him up." It was done, and then he played. How he played as the subtle glow flew from mouth to brain, and waked his heart and fingers to a new, strange power! It was only a second-rate violin, played by a hunch-back negro; but the scent of the harvest field Dlew over tne hot, close room, and a stream pla&hed gently under bending trees. Only a second-rate violin, but its spell was mighty. Men saw afresh life's beauty and its gladness. Old dreams awakened, of fame and love; and hopa began to sing of what might be. He was only a hunch-back negro, but men dropped their heads and forgot their glasses on the bar as they listened. Within their hearts there stole sweet thoughts; within their eyes there crept hot tears; and no man smiled as the Mejor walked unsteadily down the room, until he stood before the player. "Le's go home, Mozart," he cried, with trembling lips; "le's go home. We'll keep our Christmas there, please God! You and I—at home." • • * Out into the night, through a raging blizzard; buffeted by angry gusts of wind and volleys of snowflakes that obliterated the way; but the Major knew it not, until, at his feet, his companion stumbled and fell, exhausted with cold and weariness. But he knew it well, when, with Mozart in his arms, he plodded along over the road whose stretching white miles seemed endless to his tired feet. Dissipation had weakened the Major's frame, and Mozart's inert form was heavy, but still he walked, fighting against the fate that threatened them, until his eyes discovered, through the snow-lit darkness, a well-known gate. And then he paused. "We'll get a little rest here, Mozart," he said, with a thick and halting utterance; "we'll rest a bit, and then we'll go on in; we'll both go In—well both go home together." . And when tho sun climbed tho golden ladder of morning, and lighted up tho snow-clad earth. It seemed as If tho mantle of heavenly charity w a s cast o n t w o reC\jnfbont, half-hidden flguros that bad gone homo together. ' <.„<!'}< . .{•.' .

The car was crowded, as usiasl, and the young man occupied a seat near the door. Why t h e motorman should stop the car for additional passengers he could not understand. The car stopped, however, and in walked t w o women. One was a woman of uncertain age and not strikingly handsome, while the other was a y.oung woman in her twenties and beautiful. "Now," said the prosecutor to himself, T i l show these people I'm not going to give np my seat just because I can favor a pretty girl." He vacated the seac, and, reaching to the woman of the greater number of years, remarked: "This seat is for you.M "How dare yon reflect on my age in such a manner?" the woman asked. "I'll not take your seat." Turning to the pretty young lady, he made the otfer of the seat to her, only to he told: "I'll not take it, either." Then the young man wont back as far as he could and rode on the platform, while the passengers in the car enjoyed the affair as a huge joke.— Washington Star. E ARLIES T^ RUS8IAK JSILLET.

Fedora Was under some species of spell. r She evea knew not herself what it meant.' This remarkable man interested her —he seemed to arouse some half slumbering memory that came as might a vagus dream—a memory that must have been pleasant, for it had an intoxicating effect. The strangeness of the sensation aroused her curiosity; she could not tell why she was drawn so irresistibly toward this black-bearded American nabob, who had set the gossips of agog, whose name was... on every Up, and of whom she bad even heard the captain proudly mention more than once at the table as "my friend the MarQuis.". Nor did she make any strong effort at resistance —just as one is caught by a swift current and drawn on so rapidly that the senses grow confused. What more natural than that she should ask him to call, either during her usual hour for receiving, or later when the captain might be at home to enjoy a cigar with him as they compared notes on adventurous travels in the jungles and forests of Africa and America. The Marquis promised to take advantage of the first opportunity; then othcra came up and their tetea-tetc was broken. CHAPTER XVII. Spinning the Web. Some weeks had passed. All along the line the Marquis found himself in a condition to report progress. Mazette had removed to cozy lodgings in a respectable neighborhood, and encouraged by the appreciation of this unknown but wealthy patron, she had set to work most diligently upon the task given her. With nourishing food, and hope filling hor heart, the future appeared roay-hued, and she soon began to appear like the cheery Mazette of old. More work followed—M. Duval sounded her praises aloud, and there were those who already thought it the thing to follow in the footsteps of the latest Hon, so that Mazstte's future seemed assured. Then one day there was a knock at the door of her studio, for success had enabled her to have a workroom such as she had longed to possess, lo, these many years. Upon opening the door the little miniature painter saw a/Ntall, heavilybearded gentleman, A * o s e air was somewhat foreign. She straightway began to tremble, under the conviction that this must be her illustrious patron to whom she owed so much; for, be it known, M. Duval had been artfully prevailed upon to give as elaborate a description of the noble Marquis as lay in hi3 power. When her visitor spoke his voice was deep and reassuring; and there seemed to be -some rare quality about It that almost startled little Maaette, arousing ill-defined and hazy memories of the past which she could not whip into any concrete form, try as she might When the Marquis offered his hand at leaving she was a little confused by the warmth of his clasp and the eagerness with which he promised to drop in again and see how the work progressed. When the Marquis left the modest little studio he was surprised at the glow of generous feeling that came over him^-^ "God blesa the brave little w o m a n - it does a man good to even bask in her presence. Here, at least, is no deception such as stalks abroad in society's circles—she had only good words for her fellow creatures. At least let me be grateful for the privilege of being able to secure her future. This b6ly desire for her good may in a measure offset the still fierce passion for revenge. At least it gives me joy, an experience I had never hoped to feel again." His other p)ans were maturing. Evidently the Marquis was in no hurry—neither to the satiated cat when she has caught a mouse that she cannot devour. ; Livermore's losses at the gamtag ta> * SMITH, New Ywk. bles were not all—indeed, it seemed as though circumstances had taken a fiendish delight in combining to smite this son of fortune at a time when he could not find a means of resistance. . The several eompanies controlling South African mines in which Livermore had investments, and which had been paying good dividends, were bought up by some new combination, backed by unlimited capital, and there was a grave suspicion thit the small shareholders were about to be frozen out in a way perfectly legitimate yet shockingly cruel. And there were others, too. Really, the doughty captain was passing through an experience that promised, to make an old man of him if long continued. Twice, the Marquis had called upon Fedora, and on each occasion exerted himself to fascinate as he had never before done in all his life. Affairs were in this state, and the MarquTs~could < see the possible tragic outcome of his systematic assault all along the line, unless his nerve failed, or something occurred to break the stem resolution by which he had bound himself. A few more visits, he believed, would complete the fascination of Fedora— harassed by accumulating debts and made boorish by his troubles, it might be readily assumed tnat the captain would be anything but an amiable companion these days,- and the couple, never having iiad a genuine love for each other, would drift further apart. This would be his opportunity—the glitter of his unlimited wealth, together with the strange hold he had upon Fedora, by reason of her oldtime love, though she herself might not know the real cause—these two combined should tempt her to leave the falling fortunes of the captain and seek happiness with the man who controlled her will. It" was a fiendish revenge, and many times the marquis cursed himself for entertaining It; yet the memory of his dreadful sufferings drove him back again with renewed zeal to pick up the threads of fate where he had dropped them and go on with feverish eagerness. It was only when he thought of Mazette that he winced and grew confused— not for worlds would he ever have her know what wicked thoughts struggled with his better nature, and usually gained the mastery. One day the marquis, still pursuing the one object of his presence in London at this unfashionable season of the year, dropped in at the establishment of Captain Livermore, resolved to play his cards to advantage, since a crisis was near. His quick eye noted signs of confusion, and he knew disaster had at last fallen upon the captain, who must seek a cheaper home—yes, evidently a move was contemplated—his sturdy blows were beginning to tell, and he should feel a glow of satisfaction in the region 'of his heart. The occasion would be propitious for his master stroke—surely he should be able to win her consent— what had she to consider but a ruined home and a husband whom she had wedded while loving another? He ottered her unlimited wealth, beyond the dream of the human mind, love, and all the attractions the world can bestow. Yes, she would yield—he knew how weak her nature was—had she not shown it when throwing him over for fortune's smiles?—-she had no anchor such as the safeguard of a husband's love would throw around her—he felt assured of this as he did of anything in his whole life. When the marquis entered the house it was with the confident air of one who has abundant faith to believe in the positive success awaiting him—not over-confltlence such as roses battles, but the quiet assurance that springs from a thorough knowledge of the powers he controls. It chanced, however, that there was one thing he had not counted on, a matter that might seem of small consequence, and yet which must burst upon him with appalling force. As he sat and waited sounds of a commotion were heard, such as caused the marquis to start, turn deadly pale and tremble as he had never done when bodily danger menaced him— then through the open door came dashing two little tots, one a goldenhaired angel of three, the other a sturdy, black-eyed English lad of four —across the floor they scampered, straight to where the American nabob sat gripping the aides of his chair, and with the aasuranoe some children possess, forthwith climbed directly upon alt knot* aft* t o * * possession. being carried by assault than since the day it* gtett buttressed, walls had been first barricaded ' against the* forces of sentiment and the holier passions that come from above; for up to this hour thto stern man, bent upon righting his wrongs of the past, had never once suspected that Fedora was a mother, and the knowledge came upon him like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. It would be almost impossible to adequately 'measure the surprise and consternation that overwhelmed the marquis as he sat there and felt the chubby arms of Fedora's little darlings about his neck. It was wonderful what an Influence this new and astounding element bad upon him —he was quite disarmed —• those chubby hands upon his face, the little cooing voice, as trusting eyes looked up into his own, exclaiming: "Dodo love oo"—a man must have colder blood in his veins than the marquis to endure this and at the same moment plan destruction to the little maiden's parents. In that short time he saw a great light, such as had never dawned on him before. True, it might die out again, overwhelmed by the darkness of passion's sway; but the Influence of hiB association with those innocents would have a decided bearing upon his future. Thus Fedora found them when she came in, and greatly she marveled at the sudden fancy her little darlings had taken for the mysterious marquis. Of course, their nurse was summoned and they were banished from the scene; but the retreat was conducted with much reluctance, especially on the part of Miss Dorothy, who seemed to have conceived a great fancy for the marquis. Thus, the visit that he had intended should be so dramatic, and lead to a crisis, was of an altogether different nature. And he came away without, by act or word, having advanced the desperate scheme which had so filled his mind on crossing that home portal. It was not remorse—the time had not come for that; but while the kisses of that innocent little prattler were yet warm upon his cheek he could not strike the terrible blow that would possibly blight her mother's future happiness. Not being in the humor to enjoy social Intercourse with his fellows, he avoided those who would have sought his company, and spent the evening strolling along Oxford street and High Holborn, watching the crowds, smoking innumerable cigars and wrestling with his thoughts. As the hour grew later he found himself quite a distance from his hotel, beyond St. Paul's, and evea on the border of the Whitechapel district of unenviable fame as one of the most notorious slum districts of the modern Babylon. It was a weary distance to his hotel, and the marquis naturally looked around for a cab. Luck seemed to favor him, for the voice of an eager Jehu hailed from behind. The four-wheeler was one of the night-hawk variety, much the worse for wear, but to a shipwrecked sailor any port in a storm is good enough; so the marquis, witn a laugh, bundled himself inside and sang out his orders. He might not have been so easy In his mind had he known that a couple of fellows swung themselves, one up with the driver on his seat, and the other behind the growler. (To be continued.) Hunting for t h e Colonel. An army surgeon recently returned from service in t*e Philippines tells a new story, which is one of the best that has come from our new possessions. He says a soldier was serving in a regiment whose colonel was very much averse to leaving the comforts of a city and who had pull enough to get himself assigned to special duty in Manila, which had caused bis absence from his regiment for several months. In the meantime a portion of that particular command got into a mix-up with some stray insurgents, and incidentally the soldier referred to had an eye shot out He put in some time in the hospital, and when convalescent was turned loose for a walk. As he strolled down the street he met a friend, who. seeing the bandage which hid the cavity, asked him, "What happened to your eye?" The soldier's other eye twinkled, and with true "dougtboy" wit he replied: "I wore that eye out up-country looking for that blooming colonel of mine on the firing line." Novel K«kh»o WreVtUaa;.

The stand-point taken in this se rmon was that the church members were to blame and he scored tbem hard in many places and justly too. The main thing was lack of attendance on the means of grace. If members find excuse for not attending and go visiting etc, why expect non-churfh members to attend? Of course those who do not belong to any church and seldom attend were well pleased with the sermon and listened attentively one hour and twenty minutes. (The elder promised not to preach so long next time.) "Nothingpre vein tin g he will conttnue the same theme in two weeks and as usual all are welcome.

There will be a man here who can tell the cost and mode of operating such a line so that it is necessary for all interested to be present Bear it in mind and be sure to attend this meeting. It is not alone for citizens of Pinckney for many farmers are and should be interested in such a line. In a Tight Place. The common council of Leslie will get themselves into hot watar. The ladies' clubs and orders ot that village have petitioned that au,gust body to inforce a tine on those who expectorate chocolate colored juice on the sidewalks and stairways ol that beautiful town. Of course if they do not do so the council will be in disfavor with the ladies, and if they do the ''squirters" will rote agin 'em next spring. We believe however that we should side in with tha ladies and—well— some other towns might do well to follow the plan.

CBAFTER XVII (Continued.) He soon discovered that his driver had chosen a far from delectable route to the hotel—true, it might be shorter, but he could not remember ever having heard of a Jehu ready to cut down the length of his Journey when he had a good paying fare inside. The marquis experienced the first little sensation of alarm, or, rather uneasiness1, just then. His curiosity having been aroused.the marquis found means to look out of the vehicle, and was not greatly surprised when he discovered that an unknown man sat beside the driver. Before now he had known that some one was riding behind, having heard various thumps that gave the secret away, and once upon twisting his head around he had a fleeting glimpse of a human eye glued to the little glass in the back canopy of the vehicle. A' very pleasant outlook, really. Being a" philosophical man to a marked degree, the marquis at once set to work pooling his resources, so as to make as game a stand as the occasion would admit He remained perfectly cool and selfpossessed— when a man had passed through such astonishing adventures as had fallen to his lot of late years he is hardly likely to show the white feather because forsooth a few London blackmailers and footpads conspire to -entrap him. He gathered his energies together and watching his chance, quietly opened the door to the left, intending to drop out without attracting the attention of the two cronies upon the seat A very clever little Idea, and one that might have worked to a beautiful issue only for one thing—he had forgotten the fellow who was riding in the rear of the "growler." The marquis, with an agility he had acquired from long years of athletic practice, had successfully maiie the drop, and was in hopes that his move had not been seen, when the third party !eaped from behind the vehicle, and, throwing himself upon the half recumfcent passenger, sounded the .alarm. CHAPTER XVIII. In Due Time. No doubt the Kilkenny cats had a very salubrious time of it when they indulged in their little engagement, but such an encounter could not bear comparison with the scramble in which the marquis engaged when these three London footpads set upon him. The fellow on his back was interfering with his blows as much as he possibly could, and as a result the others were enabled to throw themselves upon him. Matters were in this mixed-up state and the final result in doubt, when a new element was precipitated into the game. An outsider hurled himself upon the struggling mass, and by an exercise of tremendous muscular strength tore the man loose from the gentleman's shovlders, though he clcng with such pertinacity that he carried away the collar of the marquis' coat. The newcomer gave him a toss that sent him down a nearby area, where a crash of glass and' startled screams announced his prompt arrival. Then this unexpected ally turneJ his attention to the others—the marquis, freed from his tormentor in the rear, had opened his batteries upon them afresh, and was dealing out his blows with reckles abandon, when he saw one of them snatched bodily from his feet and tossed through the open door of the four-wheeler as though he might have been a mere sack of oats. Upon this the last of the trio, who proved to be ho other than the driver, uttered a yell of fear and, scrambling in haste to his seat, laid the whip on his horse and clattered down the narrow street. Thus the field was suddenly cleared of enemies in double-quick order, and the manner of their disposal seemed to greatly amuse the muscular, redbearded giant who had come so opportunely to the assistance of the beleaguered marquis, for he roared with laughter. "Gang awa' wi' ye baith, and dinna' forget the puir de'll who lies in a muckle yonder. Man, they were mair than ye could weel handle, but it did me good to be of assistance to ye, and that's no lee," he exclaimed, assisting to brush the gentleman off. The marquis at sound of his voice was sbunaed, but he recovered In time to cry out: "Donald McGregor, by my life it Is!" "Aweel, ye teem to know me, sir, though I confess the honor is all on your side* Still, there.is something familiar in your voice I dinna ken-rit's verra curious." The marquis by this time had managed to get hold of his honest hand, and was squeezing it with much emotion. "Ah! McGregor, you're always doing something for others. The last I saw of you, my dear fellow, was when I offered myself as a target for Captain Livermore's bullet, and declined to murder him afterward." The man from Scotia uttered a roar, and insisted upon embracing the other, much to the amusement of the crowd that had gathered. This extraordinary meeting was one of the most pleasant things that had occurred to the marquis since striking London. He had in a fashion made search for this old and tried friend, but as yet had been unable to get track of him, go that the encounter came as a most agreeable surprise. McGregor's-story was told in a.Jew _ sentences—he had taken a wife and started in bravely to Increase the population of Her Majesty's people with a pair of. twins as a beginning, but beastly luck had swooped down upon him, and he was having a hard pull at present, though nothing could crush his jolly spirits. This pleased his companion more than words could tell, since it opened a way for him to assist his old friend. "Worry no longer, McGregor, for there is a bright future ahead. I am in a way to put you in a position where money will flow into your pockets, God bless you for a true-hearted friend. There is my card—call on me at ten to-morrow, and you can have anything you ask. Meanwhile take this for a temporary loan—not a word against it—X won't hear a murmur. Go home to your wife and babies, and remember me in your prayers. Such luck to meet you after searching in vain—it must have been an especial act of Providence. When you come to the hotel to-morrow send up your name to the Marquis of Montezuma." Whereupon the McGregor was actually compelled to lean against a house for support, so wonderful was the intelligence thus communicated. "It beats a'," was all he could mutter. When safely landed in his hotel he resolved never again to^ be caught napping in such a reckless way. After all, it had been an eventful day, and brought both joy and regrets. The marquis had a strange feeling as though that for which, he had yearned all through those dreary years was about to be snatched away from him in his hour of victory. The little germ was working, and in due time it might leaven the whole lump—a few more such rude shocks as he had received when those two little cherubims captured him in Fedora's house would certainly complete his discomfiture, and if he had hoped to continue cruel and relentless he must take no chances in that direction. .„, . recti**, way a*»MNrid, fer- the uaaai 4 my wwtft*, y * tftft beard1 <b«K* tyf- • ~ sess amazing gold mines in the new world, I assure you my money has ail been honestly acquired and also taken Jhnji njpjher'earth, a nreaent from the old Montesumas of Astec time," They talked of old times, and the many memories they had in common— since the flight of years bow precious these recollections became—a halo seemed to surround each Incident in those days o( yore, making romantic what at that time had been exceedingly prosaic happenings. Really the marquis enjoyed the half hour in Mazette's society more than he might have cared to confess while still hugging that determination for vengeance In his heart-~while that grim spectre haunted* hie life he could never be wholly happy. And when he said good-bye he must needs take both her hands in his and press them—as such an old familiar friend should have the privilege of doing, though it startled him a little to see the blush that flashed athwart Mazette's cheeks. The Marquis of Montezuma whistled softly as he ran down the steps from the studio. It was the first time in many a long day he had felt so lighthearted and cheerful. As the lower steps were a little gloomy he almost ran over a lady in the act of ascending. Of course an apology sprang CHAPTER XIX, Mazette Makes a Discovery. Affairs could not continue much further without coming to a crisis. There came the day when the marquis found he could no longer blind one pair of eyes, at least. Mazette had remembered. The marquis W23 taken by surprise when, upon entering the little studio, he found Maz-ette in tears. "Come, what has gone wrong?" he exclaimed in dire dismay, for, like all men, he felt his utter impotence undo:' such conditions. She came toward him, smiling through her tears—there was upon her face reproach, delight and keen artistic disappointment. "Why did you not tell me before?" she asked, as he took her hand in his. "Tell you—indeed, if I only knew what you meant I would only be too glad—this is, I—then you have discovered all?" for it dawned upon him that she was no longer blind. "Oh, Jack, how dreadfully cruel of you," as she dropped her head in order that he should not see the tears of mortification. ''To conceal my identity all thi3 time—yes, in one sense it was, but I had an object in it all, I assure you/' he declared sturdily. She looked up troubled. "What does it all mean—I hope, I pray you are doing what is r i g h t - that is—" and there she stopped confused. Upon which he laughed almost boisterously and possessed himself of her other hand—they were such good friends, such old friends, there could be no harm in this natural and innocent action. "Have no fears, little woman—my patent of nobOity was iwued in the to his lips, for his awkwardness seemed to have alarmed her. The next Instant the Marquis uttered an exclamation of astonishment in which there was also a trace of alarm, for, as he turned to the lady he found himself looking into that beautiful but dangerous face of the Senorita Juanita. Why the sight of a lovely face should cause the marquis to tremble might seem a mystery, but he knew the reason—it was not that he feared this Spanish girl so far as his own personal safety was concerned, but there were others: Mazette! That Dona Juanita had been dogging his footsteps of late he had no doubt, and her motive in doing so was no mystery, since she had vowed to discover who the authoress of his wrongs in the past might be in order to avenge them. But what had that to do with Mazette, since she was not concerned in his misery of the past? "Ah! the interest of this jealous woman had more to do with the present— the future. And that was why he trembled, because suddenly overtaken with the overwhelming consciousness that Mazette's happiness was precious to him. The shock did more to tear away the cobwebs with which he bad concealed the truth than anything else that could have happened. Besides he could not forget the blush that had swept over her face as he said good-bye. Dona Juanita was the first to speak —she had made a half-frantic struggle to lay hold of her veil, doubtless in the expectation of lowering the flimsy gauze in time to conceal her face, and when she found it was too late, her hand fell to one side, and she met the astonished gaze of the marquis with a defiant smile, saying: "I have not had the pleasure of talking over old times such as you promised, Senor Jack. I sadly fear you find other attractions too great a tax upon your time." "Ah! I am a Very busy man, senorita; you can readily understand that. They shower attentions upon a successful man in London—once I might have starved to death upon the streets, and a few lines in the morning Times would have been my poor obituary. Now, it takes columns to chronicle my most simple doings, how I live, what I think and such stuff; Bah! I am disgusted with it all." "Tell me, Senor Jack, have you given up your design for vengeance?" she asked, fixing her great black eyes upon him as though there might be much more in this question than appeared upon the surface. "Not yet," he answered slowly. "Ah! then there is still hope," she muttered, and he did not comprehend at tne time just what this meant, tnough later on the full importance of it burst upon him. Hope for what?—her designs were all selfish, since it never entered her head to think of others, and the future as connected with her own fortunes was all that concerned her. The marquis was glad when at last he saw her into a cab, and raising his hat, pressed her hand in adieu, hoping that he might set eyes no more on the belle of San Jose. CHAPTER XX. How Fedora Heard. The Llvermores hntf vanished from the sphere which they had for some years adorned, but it was no mystery to the marquis-, who' had kept track of their movements through those who served him .well. (To be continued.) v Judge. Wr^fht. *ft\P$,c}v\ governor of the Philippines* has Written a personal letter to Gen. Marcus J. Wright of Washington, which gives an inter* eatiag-insight into the condition of affairs in the Philippine*. ."We ore so far removed from the United States," aays Gov. Wright "that I fear the people at home get rather an inadequate idea of the situation here. The press reports of the last mouth or more, which have reached ue here, together with the comments thereon, seem to indicate that the general opinion is that the whole tslands are either biasing with insurrection, or else that outbreaks are prevented only by the use of troops on an extensive scale. This is wholly misleading. The real truth is that in 95 per cent of the territory of the islands there is no Insurrection - and Americans go about siugly and unarmed with about as much safety a* they would in a large majority of the states at home. •There is a fast-dying insurrection in two provinces of the great Island of Luzon and in the remote southern part of Sianiar. Here and there, in mor<» remote sections there are instances o? cattle stealing and occasionally murder or robbery. We are dealing very energetically with the lawless element, and the people, as a rule, are rebuilding their houses where they have been destroyed, tllllug their fields and pursuing their ordinary vocations. MHe« R e v i s e * H l i S t a t e m e n t . LJ.eut.-Gen. Miles vigorously denounced Swretary Root's nviny reorganization bill before the senate committee on uiUUa-ry affairs Thursday, and, in consequence, speculation is rife as to whether Resident Roosevelt will take advantage of the Incident to retire the general, the latter already having reached the age limit. Gen. Miles denies that he threatened to resign in the event of the bill b e - coming a law and he gave out a revised statement of the language used by him as follows: "1 have too much respect for-tlie illustrious men who hav<» precedexl me, ami for the office which I have the honor -of occupying, to be a party to n measure that, in my judgment, would do serious injury to the army and endanger the republic." This statement iloos not agree witli statements by members of the committee. There is no doubt that Gen. Miles' c o m m i t s on the bill made a strong impression on the committee. It is not regarded with favor for the reason that it would open the avenue for gross favoritism. goM Sensible jUrice to W» " D B A S MBS, passed through King Edward lias set the erstom of snuff-taking, which, as a result, promises to bo generally revived.

Mr.. jC^iwnbertoin, ttd^ajng the Hou#e, of Parliament Tnortday referred to the Boers who axe fighting on the British side, when John Dillon (Irlah Nationalist) interjected, "theyare traitors," on which Mr. Chamberlain retorted: "The honorable gentleman is a good judge of traitors." A scene of great confusion ensued. When order was partially restored Mr. Dillon demanded a ruling on Mr. Cham* berlain's words. The speaker said: "An honorable member spoke of soldiers serving under the British flag as traitors. I deprecated the interruption, and I deprecate the retort of the other member.'* Mr. Dillon then said: "I will tell the right honorable member that he Is a damned liar." A dead silence followed this remark. Such unparliamentary language seemed to stun the house. The speaker invited Mr. Dillon to withdraw the expression, but the latter said: "I will not withdraw," "Then I must name you," said the speaker. The government leader, A. J. Balfour, then said: "I beg to move that Mr. Dillon be suspended from service in the house." The motion was carried by 248 to 48 votes. Mr. Dillon immediately, by direction of the speaker, left the house amid wild Nationalist cheers, and Mr. Obainberlain resumed his speech. Mr. Dillon's suspension, under the present rules, cannot exceed a week. His offense would have been much more severely dealt with had the new rules beeu-ln-^orce. __ Serra life savers, practically the entire crew of the Monomoy station on the south end of Cape Cod, met death Monday at their post of duty, and with them Into the sea which capsized their lifeboat went five men from the stranded barge Wadena, whom they tried to feting in safety to the shore.

I'll first tell you about the Pawnee agency school, because this is where the small Pawnee Indians first begin school. After they finish here they, if they want to, go to a larger school such as the Haskell Institute, Lawrence Kan. to an examination given them. When I was st Haskell there were about 700 scholars and in the dinning room there sits at each table five boys and three girls. The boys all march in by the drum also o u t I n the room there are about 70 tables and it is a sight to see them march in and out. They are allowed 20 minutes to eat and they have meat,potatoes, bread and water, sometimes they have beans, tomatoes, or grapes, and they never have a large supply of anything. To visit this is about the same as Jackson prison, the departments are about the same also, only they have excellent chance for education and learning a good trade.

To describe her would be like attempting to put into words the fragrance of a flower or the smile of a beloved face. L Brain-Food Nonsense. Another ridiculous food fad has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the 8iUy notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still another for bones. A correct diet will not only nourish a partic ular p<irt of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You mast prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Greene's August Flower, the "favorite medicine of the healthy millions.

Bdlt©d by th»W. 0. TV, of Ptpckoey For over seventy years England has been experimenting with legalizedSunday liqor selling, and the results are disappointing; while in Scotland, Ireland and Wales Sunday closing is a success. Every popular canvass tells the same story. In 56 London workshops the operatives opposed Sunday opening by 10,000 to 1000. The publicans themselves favored closing by a vote of 2,324 to 1,938. The labor representatives in parliament (who in England are really representatives of labor) are all against Sunday beer. On the other hand, Scotland, which for forty years has closed its public houses through all of Sunday, is satisfied with the result.

Now an important place in theschool is the kitchen and dinning room.

In the laundry they are taught how to wash starch and iron. This is a seperate building and is controlled by a laundress and assistant. This department has about eight girls also, this number varies at different times and does in all the departments. I should have said about the dinning department all the children, 142 in number,dine here aud the cooking is all done by the D U t a n c e B e t w e e n A p p l e T r e e * .

"They helped me right along, and I kept on using them till I had used four boxes when the pain left me altogether.

Our term Easter is of German origin, but the name by which the festival is designated from the beginning Is the Paschal/ a name derived from the Hebrew: it commemorates the deliverance of the Jews from Egyptian bondage when the destroying angel spared the first-born of the Hebrew because their doors were marked by the blood of the Paschal lamb. The Easter festival :s the greatest in the Christian calendar; it is the climax of the events in the life of cur divine Lord—his birth, his labors, his miracles, his betrayal, the bitterness of his agony at Gethsemane, and 'his cruel death on Calvary all culminated in the victory we commemorate on this glorious day. The church has always held that the miraculous deliverance of the Hebrew people from Egyptian bondage was the type and figure of the far greater dettverafice which would follow when Christ, our Pasch, as St. Paul says, would be sacrificed and by his blood would save us from eternal death. The Christian Pasch was instituted on that night when our Savior, Jesus Christ, surrounded by his disciples at the Last Supper which he held with them, gave them under the form of bread and wine his body and his blood to drink. There is nothing in all the gospels set forth in language more unequivocal than this fact. The church has always taught, as he himself declared, that our divine Lord is truly and really present, under the forms of bread and wine, consecrated by the words uttered by himself, and spoken by those authorized by him to use them. It fs true that he suffered and died that all men might be saved, yet we know, from his own words and the teachings of his apostles, that many , may not be Eaved because they will not make the necessary effort and sacrifice—" Many are called but few chosen." Faith alone in the redeeming sacrifice will not bring saiva;ion; the mere fact that we believe in the divinity of Christ, in the teaching of Christ, in the redemption purchased for us by the death of Christ will not bring us salvation unless we ourselves do our part to make ourselves worthy thereof. It is not enough to have faith; we must also labor. "I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith," St. Paul says; he did not consider it enough to have the faith only —it must be accompanied by good work. The church, therefore, celebrates this day with more of joy and gladness and ceremony than any other in commemoration of the institution of that Christian Pasch which means so much to humanity! for millions of her children, under her guidance and direction, through prayer and repentance, and other penitential works are made worthy to participate in this divine banquet. They are restored to the friendship of God and have earned for themselves eternal life, for our Savior has said: "If any man eat of this bread he will live forever, and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." (John vi.) And she celebrates this day with unusual joy and gladness for the further reason: That it is the anniversary of that day on which the Founder by his own inherent power raised himself from the dead, thus giving the strongest possible proof of his divinity, and leaving to us, who believe in him and love him, a reason for the faith that is in us. Heathen Nations Celebrate the Day In the Christian churches of all nations Easter is celebrated as the day on which the Great Teacher, the Jesus Christ, rose from the dead and thereby consummated his divine plan of redeeming the human race. Since Easter is BO indissolubly associated with the life of the Founder of the Christian religion, one would naturally assume that it Is a purely Occidental festival, haying its origin in the west and being confined in observance to Caucasian countries. Yet, strangely enough, in several of the countries of the Orient, in India, in Japan, in China, we find religious festivals bearing a wonderful resemblance—festivals that were observed by pious people thousands of years before the beginning of the Christian era laid the foundations of western civilization and j^ower. The festival of India analogous to the Christian Easter is called the "Feast of Buddha"; in Japan it is named the "Feast of the Higon," while in China they term the great springtime celebration "The Ancestral Worship." All these holidays have deep religious significance, for all have their origin in the spirit of thankful* ness and rejoicing; that wherever man lives he has ever greeted the death of winter and the dawn of spring. In this sense Easter, the Higon, the Ancestral Worship, are all more than mere church days—they are man's spontaneous outpouring of gratitude The CborUter. The llook of God. Highest of all is the book of God. This book is the story of earth *s noblest spirits, in hours when they were filled with a passionate hunger for righteousness, and how they made a record for these great spiritual experiences in their poems, psalms and. letters. No other book has such treasures of wisdom and culture. It teaches us the path that leads to prosperity and peace. It is the great book, the book of hope and life, because it is the book of God.—Rev. N. D. Hillis, Congregationalism Brooklyn, N. Y. Te choirs of new Jerusalem, Your sweetest notes employ, The Paschal victory to hymn In strains of holy joy. to nature, alike beneficent mother of both Occident and Orient. A deep religious sentiment governs the Christian observance of Easter, and in that particular the Chinese ancestral worship is similar to it. The fifth commandment of the Christian decalogue is their first, "Thou shait honor thy father and mother,' and no sin in the eyes of the pious Chinese is so heinous as that of disobedience or disrespect to parents. This filial piety is the fundamental virtue of their social life, and the respect which a son shows his father does not end with life, but is still shown to his memory long after his death. Nor is the deference merely an individual custom. Time has hallowed it into a great national festival. It is called T'sing Ming, and occurs in the spring of the year. The Chinese do not make much ado about the death of a child or a young person, but when a father or a mother dies, especially if they have grown old, great ceremony attends the burial, from which proceeds one of their great common proverbs, "As much trouble as a funeral." There is nothing in the lore of eastern religions to conflict with the hope of a life hereafter. Almost every faith of the Orient has #for its foundation the theory of a risen Redeemer. And yet who can make answer to these momentous questions? Easter Festival of Great Age. The festival of Easter is much older than the Resurrection of Jesus. Christianity not only converted the magnificent pagan temples, which it could not pull down, into churches, but it also adopted and adapted as many .of the rites and ceremonies of heathen antiquity as were too deeply rooted in the habits and affections of the people to be eradicated. From the Greeks and the Romans the early Christians borrowed their emblems of resurrection and immortality—the Peacock and the Phoenix. The Easter egg, too, as a religious symbol is as old as the pyramids of Egypt and the primer of Oriental philosophy, which taught that the world was hatched from an egg about the time of the, vernal equinox. We read also that the Romans in early spring ran races in an oval—an eggshaped arena, when the winner was presented with eggs accompanied with wishes that his noble family may increase and multiply. Christianity colored the egg red to remind the people of the blood shed for their redemption. That ceremonial Christianity is in a large measure paganism transformed or rejuvenated is admitted by the best scholars in the church as well as out of it—by Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman and Baronius, as well as by Max-Muller and Renan. "The church has borrowed many customs from the religion of the Romans and other pagans," says an ecclesiastical authority, "but it has meliorated them." Another writes that "the paga\ festivals laden with superstition were changed into the praiseworthy festivals of the martyrs." Still another defends the practice by saying: "It was permitted the church to transfer to pious uses those ceremonies which the pagans had wickedly applied in a superstitious worship." Ostera or Eostre, derived from "Ost," meaning East, was a Saxon Goddess who presided over the luminous powers which revived the earth and resuscitated life out of the shadow of darkness and the mold of the grave. She was the divinity whose face shone like the glory of the sunrise and the brightness of the dawn; her ambrosial breath made hill and dale fragrant, and her smile shed beauty over every breaking bud and blossom. The people congregated in the fields to cheer her arrival in the skies, because she came to destroy the genii of winter- darkness, sterility, storm, and death, and to shake from her golden urn blessings upon man and beast alike. "The Sun is risen!" they shouted, as they greeted one another and kissed and danced on the new grass. Our Teutonic ancestors devoted eight days of April, which they called the Ostermonat, to the worship of this beautiful goddess of life and love perennial, whose arrows, tipped with flame, had shot fresh hopes into their hearts. When Christianity converted the pagan Saxons, instead of attempting to abolish this joyous festival, it christened it into an institution of the. church^ preserving all its poetry and music—the flowers and the eggs, and only substituting Jesus, the "Sun of Righteousness/ for Ostera, the Goddess of the East. Easter, then, is a day in which Christian and heathen memories mingle, and we regard that as its most pleasing feature, because it lifts it from being merely a sectarian symbol into a festival of humanity. It demonstrates that all festivals have a common ancient source—the needs of the human heart, and that all religious, instead of being miraculously given to any chosen people, spring out of the eternal soil of humanity. Let us rejoice to-day not that the "Sun" has risen or that one man has been raised from the dead, but that all mankind has been steadily rising during, these many ages—rising from the deep, dark grave of ignorance and slavery to freedom and power. Let us change the Easter salutation, and instead of greeting one another with "Christ is risen" and "He is risen, indeed," let us say, "Humanity is risen," and let the refrain be, "Hail, risen Humanity.V. icine, but when we can get a goo4 nurse and good medicine, the patient stands a much better chance di recovery.

Indeed, we cannot say too much in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it constantly." The pessimist is always throwing cold water on the optimistic fire of genius.

These, of coarse. are to fill the opening which has been made to blow out the egg. Fill the rest of the egg with candied violet leaves. This makes as beautiful a little egg as the heart could wish, and especially dear to the recipient as representing the work and thought of the giver. A pretty variation of this notion can be made by drawing roses instead of violets, using a paper rose for the stopper and filling the egg with candied rote leaves. OF NOVEL DESIGN. Perhaps the most curious Easter egg ever made was one ordered by a South African millionaire for his bride. It was made in London, and was nine feet long and eighteen feet in circumference at the widest part. The shell of this wonderful egg was made of chocolate, most elaborately adorned. It was intended as a wedding present, and held the whole of an expensive trousseau for the girl he was to mar* ry. It also had in it an enormous quantity of superfine confectionery. It is said that the most costly Easter egg ever made in the country was ordered by a railway magnate for his little son, It was a miniature carriage, most exquisitely appointed, in the shape of an egg. The exterior was of the finest white enamel, and the interior of white, quilted satin.

Saturday, App. 5 We Offer JOHN W. HABBIS. 'It is with deep and genuine sorrow that we announce in this issue of the DISPATCH the death of one of the most energetic and estimable citizens of the Village of Pinckney, in the person of John W. Harris, who died at his home at 10 o'clock Saturday eve ning after a lingering illness of nearly eight months. Surrounded by the members of his family, who watched bis peaceful transititon to the life beyond, fortified by the last holy rites with which the Catholic church prepares the departing soul for its journey, a faithful and Steadfast adherent of that faith, a truly virtuous type of his sex and of .fatherhood closed an example of Godly life and passed quietly, painlessly to his great reward. The parents of the deceased was natives of Ireland. In 1835 they left tbSir old home in Erin's Isle and crossed the Atlantic to s^ek their fortune in the new world. They first wended their way to Detroit. Soon after arriving in Detroit they secured from the G o v e r n m e n t ' a patent of about 160 acres of land two miles south of the village of Pinckney. Here like other pioneers, they cut down the forests and built for themselves a beautiful home. The deceased after his fathers death got control of the old homestead by purchasing the claims of the other heirs, which consisted of four girls, and four bovs, two of which are living viz; Mrs. James Morgan of Ypsilanti and Mrs. M. O'Connol of Jackson. Mi, Harrjs was born on the old homestead July 25 1839. In 1867 was united in marriage to Agnes morgan of Unadilla. Mr. and Mrs. Harris began keeping house immediately on the old homestead which consists of as good a 200 acres of land as there is in the township. One year ago he quit farming and moved his family to the village. Besidbs the widow the following child ren are left to mourn and pray for the happy repose of the soul of their beloved father: H. C. of Cripple Creek, Colorado and James M. who occupys the old homestead. The funeral was held from St. Mary's church at 10:30 Wednesday morning. Edward A. Bowman, DEPARTMENT STORE . . . . .

P V , ' ' . • - ' 9to*j«eat J£a*t«r Dlsecmree Preached from Corinthians, "Death U Swallowed Up »n VJctory'—Why Should W« Doubt Ttiat Cod Can Raise Us from Death? (Copyright, 1S02. Louis Klopsch, N. Y.) Washington, March 30.—The Christian view of death as the entrance to a fuller life is presented in this Easter discourse by Dr. Talmage from the text I Cor. xv, 54,."Death is swallowed up In victory.** About 1,870 Easter mornings have wakened the earth. The royal court of the Sabbaths is made up of fifty - two. Fifty-one are princes in the royal household, but Easter is queen. She wears richer diadem, she sways a more Jeweled scepter, and in her smjie nations are irradiated. How welcome she is when, after a harsh winter and late spring, she seems to step out of the enow bank rather than the conservatory, to come out of the north instead of the south, out of the arctic rather than the tropics, dismounting from the icy equinox, but welcome this queenly day, holding high in her right hand the wrenched off bolt of Christ's sepulchtr and holding high in her left hand the key to _j& tht^eiiieTerles te^efrrkte&dom. My text is an ejaculation. It is spun out. of halleluiahs. Paul wrote on in his argument about the resurrection and observed all the laws of logic, but when he came to write the words of the text his fingers and his pen and the parchment on wnich he wrote took Are, and he cried out. "Death is swallowed up in victory!" It Is an exciting thing to see an army routed and flying. You have read of the French falling back from Sedan, of Napoleon's track of 90,000 corpses in the snowbanks of Russia, of the retreat of our armies from Manassas or of the five kings tumbling over the rocks of Beth horan with their armies while the hailstorms of heaven and the swords of Joshua^s host struck them with their fury. In tny_ text is a worse discomfiture. It seems that a black giant proposed to conquer the earth. He gathered for his hpsts all the aches and pains and malarias' and cancers and distempers and epidemics of the ages. He marched them down, drilling them in the northwest wind and amid the slush of tempests. He threw up barricades of grave, mound. .He pitched jeat of charnal house. Some of the troops marched with, slow tread commanded by consumptions,, some in double quick command of pneumonias. Some* be took by fang besiegeraent of evil habit and some by one stroke of the battleax of casualty. With bony hand he pounded at the door of hospitals and sickrooms, and won ail the victories in all the great battlefields of aD of the five continents. Forward, march! ordered the conqueror of conquerors, 'and all the generals and commanders in chief and all the presidents and kings and eultans and czars dropped under the feet of his war charger. But one Christmas night his antagonist was born. v A* most of the plagues and sicknesses and despotisms come out of the east, it was appropriate that the m?w conqueror should come out of the sine quarter. Power is given him to awaken att the fallen of all the centuries and of all lands and marshal them against the black giant. Fields have .already been won, but the last day of the world's existence will see the decisive battle. When Christ shall lead forth* his two brigades, the brigade of the risen dead and the brigade of the eelestial host, the black giant will fall back, and the brigade from the riven eepulchers will take him from beneath, and the brigade of descending immortals will take him from above, and death shall be swallowed up in victory. The old antagonist is driven back into mythology with all the lore about Stygian ferry and Charon with oar and "boat Melrose abbey and Kenilworth castle are no more in ruins than is the sepulcher. We shall have no more to do with death than we have with the cloakroom at a governor's or a president's levee. We stop at such cloakroom and leave in charge of a servant our overcoat, our overshoes, our outward apparel, that w e j n a y n o t be impeded in the brilliant round of the drawing room. Well, my friends, when we go out of this world we are going to a King's banquet and to a reception of monarchs, and at the door of the tomb we leave the cloak of flesh and the wrappings with which we meet the storms of this world. At the close of an earthly reception, tinder the brush and broom of the porter, the coat or hat may be handed to us better than when we resigned it, and the cloak of humanity will finally be returned to us improved and brightened and purified and glorified. You and I do not want our bodies returned u they are now. We want to get Ti4 of all their weakness* and all "•tftfi* *as*«pflbjimes to fatigue and all itheir slowness of locomotion. We want them put ^rough a chemistry of soil and heat aod cptd1 aid changing seasons, out of which God will reconstruct them as much better than they are BOW as the body of the rosiest and healthiest child that bounds over the lawn in Central Park, is better than the sickest patient in Bellevue hospital. But, as to our soul, we will cross Tight over, not waiting for obsequies, independent of obituary, into a. state in every way better, with wider room and velocities beyond computation, the dullest of us into companionship with the very best spirits in their very best mood, in the very parlor of the universe, the four walls burnished, and paneled and pictured and glorified with all the splendors that the infinite God in all the ages has been able to invent. Victory! This view, of course, makes it of but little importance whether we are cremated or sepultured. If the latter is dust to dust, the former is ashes to ashes. If any prefer incineration, let them have it without cavil or protest. The world may become so crowded that cremation may be universally adopted by law as well as by general consent. Many of the mightiest and best spirits have gone through this process. Thousands and tens of thousands of God's children have been cremated—P. P. Bliss and wife, the evangelistic singers, cremated by accident at Ashtabula bridge; John Rodgers, cremated by J2£rsgc4}t_ion_L Latimer and Ridley, cremated at Oxford; Pothlnus and BTahdina, a slave, and Alexander, a physician, and their comrades cremated at the order of Marcus Aurelius; at least a hundred thousand of Christ's disciples cremated, and there can be no doubt about the resurrection of their bodies. Whether out of natural disintegration or cremation we shall get that luminous, buoyant, gladsome, transcendent, magnificent, inexplicable structure called the resurrection body. You will have it; I will have it. I say to you to-day, as Paul said to Agrippa, "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead?" That far up cloud, higher than the hawk flies, higher than the eagle flies, what is it made of? Drops of water from a river, other drops from a lake, still other drops from a stagnant pool, but now embodied in a eloud and kindled by the sun. If God can make such a lustrous cloud out of water drops, many of ttiem soil-, ed and impure and fetched from miles away, can he not tarnsport the fragments of a human body from the ear^i. and out of them build a radiant body* Cannot God, who owns all the material out of which bones, muscle and flesh are made, set them up again if they have falien? If a manufacturer of telescopes drops a telescope on.the floor and It breaks, can he not mend it again so you can see through it? And if God drops the human eye into the dust, the, eye which he originally fashioned, can he not restore it? Where did all this silk come from— the silk that adorns your persons and your homes? In the hollow of a staff of Greek missionary brought from China to Europe the progenitors of those worms that now supply the silk markets of many nations. The pageantry of bannered host and the luxurious articles of commercial emporium blazing out from the silkworms. And who shall be surprised it out of this insignificant earthly body, this insignificant earthly life, our bodies unfold into; something worthy of the coming eternities? Put silver into diluted niter, and it dissolves. Is the silver gone forever? No. Put in some pieces of copper, and the silver reappears. If one force dissolves, another force organizes. Ever and anon there are instances of men and women entranced. A trance is death followed by resurrection after a few days; total suspension of mental power and voluntary action. Rev. William Tennent, a great evangelist of the last generation, of whom Dr. Archibald Alexander, a man far from being sentimental, wrote in most eulogistic terms—Rev. William Tennent seemed to die. His spirit apparently left the body. People came in day after day and s}id, "He is dead, he is dead." But the soul that fled returned, and Will Tennent lived to write what he had seen while his soul was gone. It may be found some time that what is called suspended animation or comatose state is brief death, giving the soul an excursion into thenext^oTidrfTonr which it comes back, a furlough of a few hours granted from the conflict of life to which it must return. Physiologists tell us that while the most of oar bodies are built with such wonderful economy that we can spare nothing, and the loss of a finger is a hinderment and the injury of a toe joint makes us lame, still that we have two or three useless physical apparatuses, an,d no anatomist or physiologist has, ever teen able to tell us what they are good for. They may be the foundation of the resurrection body, worth nothing to us in this state to be indispensably valuable in the next state. The Jewish rabbis and the scientists of our day, have found out that there are two or three superfluities o? body that are English Clergyman Live Long. There are 103 incumbents .ot churches in England who have occupied the same livings for fifty years or more, and of these twelve have held their places for stxfcy years. Their average''income amounts to 11,300 a year, and in sixteen* cases the income, •after fifty years' continuous service, u between the limits of $360 and $760 a year. • jff;l>J»],i'kii'''' "~r ^ - ^l^S: something gloriously suggestive of anothtrstate* ».i >,> / ; i ><- I called at my friend's house one summer day. I found the yard all piled up with the rubbish ot .carpenter's and mason's work. The door was off. The-plumbers had torn up the floor. The- roof was being lifted in cupola. All the pictures were gone, and the paper hangers were doing their work. All the modern improvements were being Introduced into Chat dwelling. There was not a room In the house fit to live in at that time, although a month before when I visited that house everything was so beautiful I could not have suggested an Improvement My friend had gone with his family to the Holy Land, expecting to come back at the end ot six months, when the building was to be done. And, oh, what was his joy when at the end of six months he returned and found the old house had been enlarged and improved and glorified. That is your body. It looks well now—all the rooms filled with health, and we could hardly make a suggestion. But after awhile your soul will go to the Holy Land, and while you are gone the old house of your tabernacle will be entirely reconstructed from cellar to attic, and every nerve, muscle and bone and tissue and artery must be hauled over, and the old structure will be burnished and adorned and raised and cupolaed and enlarged, and all the improvements of heaven introduced, and you -will move into it on resurrection, day. "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." Oh, what a day when body and soul meet again! They are very fond of each other. Did your body ever have a pain and your soul not pity it, or your body have a joy and your soul not re-echo it, or, changing the question, did your soul ever have any trouble and your body not sympathize with it, growing wan and weak under the depressing influence? Or did your soul ever have a gladness but your body celebrated it with kindled eye and cheek and elastic step? Surely God never intended two such good friends to be long separated. And so when the world's last Easter morning shall come the soul will descend, crying, "Where is my body?" And the body will ascend, saying, "Where is my soul?" And the Lord of the resurrection will bring them together, and It will be a perfect soul in a perfect body, introduced by a perfect Christ into a perfect heaven. Victory! Do you wonder that on Easter day we swathe bur churches with garlands? Do you wonder we celebrate, it with the most consecrate*-Voice ^ of song that we can invite, with the deftest Angers on organ and cornet and with doxologies that beat these arches with the billows of sound as the sea smites the basalt at Giant's Causeway? Only the bad disapprove of the , resurrection. A cruel heathen warrior heard Mr. Moffatt, the missionary, preach about the resurrection, and he said to the missionary, "Will my father rise in the last day?" ,fcYes," said the missionary. "Will aR the dead in battle rise?" said the cruel chieftain. "Yes," said the missionary. Then said the warrior: "Let me hear no more about the resurrection; there can be no resurrection; there shall be no resurrection. I have slain thousands in battle. Will they rise?" Ah, there will be more to rise on that day than those whose crimes have never been repented of will want to see! But for all others who allowea Christ to be their pardon and their life and their resurrection it will be a day of victory. The thunders of the last day will be the salvo that greets you into harbor. The lightnings will be only the torches of triumphal procession marching down to escort you home. The burning worlds flashing through immensity will be the rockets celebrating your coronation on thrones where you will reign forever and forever and forever. Where is death? What have we to do with death? As your reunited body and soul swing off from this planet on that last day you will see deep gashes all up and down the hills, deep gashes all through the valleys, and they will be the emptied graves, they will be the abandoned sepulchers, with rough ground tossed on each side of them, and slabs will lie uneven on the rent; hillocks, and there will be fallen monuments and cenotaphs, and then for the first time you will appreciate the full exhilaration of the text, "Death is swallowed up in victory." Hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to thee by both be given. . Thee we greet triumphant now; Hail the resurrection thou!

There was a profound silence for a few moments, when one bright-eyed little fellow said manfully: "No, mister, be didn't He was lyin* down by the brew'ry with a bone—Just gnawln' it, ye know—'nd we sort a got to pleggin', 'nd pesterin' him, 'nd 'twas when Wallie snatched the bone that he •napped." "Have you time to listen to an old man's story?" Instantly sticks and stones were dropped, though two of the lads tried to put on an indifferent front Driving his horse into the shade of the building, the stranger began: "You boys do not realize it any more than I did when I was a boyi but nevertheless it la true that every day of our lives we write out a page In the book of life; and when one is old he has a great Jeal of time in which he moat look back and read over these pages, and when I saw you tormenting that helpless dog it seemed as if some unseen finger swiftly turned the leaves of my life back to a page—a page which I wish to God could be blotted out forever, but it never can. No, boys, we may be sorry for things, may get forgiveness for them, may even forget them for a time; but if we do a wrong, it is somenow bound to rise up before us at timet when we least expect it I bold that in this world we never get entirely away from our wrong doing. But I did not intend to preach a sermon, but te> tell you a story. "As a boy, 1 was naturally cruel; 1 delighted to rob birds' nests, torment cats and dogs, and smaller children. As I grew older 1 helped my father on the farm. I was rebuked for my abuse of the animals, and my mother used to aay that if she bad her way I would never get a horse to go anywhere. Also, as I grew older, I became fond of hunting, and spent many days with my noble dog Stanley in the woods. I professed to be very good to him; but of a truth 'the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel/ and when I think of the whippings and kicks the noble fellow received from me while, as 1 called it, I was 'training him/ I am amazed at the affection he gave me in return; bat the worst was yet to come. "He bad never been a good retriever. Yon know what that ia, of course—a dog that will go anywhere after you have shot your game, and bring it to you without mussing or tearing it is the least I had repeatedly beaten Stealer for hia failure in this line, though I knew it came from the fact that hia former master had whipped him for carrying borne dead chickens, or anything like that he found in the neighborhood daring his puppy days, true to hia retrieving instinct One day, while shooting ducks, I said to him: 'Now, sir, you'll bring me that bird out there on that island or I'll kill you; do you understand it?' 1 shall always thtok he did. from tha troubled look He gave me, sad the pleading *ay i s wales he crept to my *lde and attempted flp strata my hand, "Roughly I ahook him off sad hade him go fetch tha hind..

Boys, I'll never, no never, forget it, and I expect to meet it when I stand before God's bar of Justice." , The stranger paused here for a little ere be found voice to go on. t "presently be grew so helpless from cold, struggles and blows that he let himself drift beyond my reach, but frenzied with rage, I dropped my gun and snatching up a long pole, I leaned over the water's edge to strike him. As the pole came down some sod or root under my foot gave way, and I found myself struggling in the coldest water I was ever in; but it was only for a few brief moments, for, with the icy hands of death already tightening about his faithful heart that noble dog roused himself at sight of my peril, worked toward me as best he could, and with a last desperate effort, born of love and fidelity, he dragged me to the shore, sank down, and with a few short gasps, was dead. "Chined and stupefied, yet perfectly conscious of the enormity of my sin, I watched by his side, gazing into the Still open eyes, and alternately cursing myself and calling him names of endearment that he had never heard in life. "How long it was before another hunter's voice recalled me to myself and condition, I do not know, but X know that during that time the sufferings of my mind made me unconscious of my bodily suffering. I was helped home, but for many weeks lay between life and death, and they said all of my unconscious ravings were of Stanley and that awful transaction by the lakeside. I have been a different person since, but I can never, in life, get away from that page in the book. "You understand what I mean now. and all I have to say further is, boys, be kind to every living creature, and If you can do any good by repeating an old man's story, tell it again and again." There was silence in the little group as once more the carriage wheels rolled noiselessly away; but presently the largest boy took some pennies from his pocket and bade two of the smaller ones "run to the market and get a good meaty boae." On their return it was laid where the stray dog could smell it, and then the boys quietly dispersed, each to tell some one else the old man'8 story, and put in practice, we trust, his admonition, "Be kind to every living creature."—Practical Farmer. • * • MUOH aftffIY FOR CANDY.

[ Letter of Restitution to Cleveland "Sometimes the remorse of those who have cheated the United States is in inverse ratio to the sum of the fraud, says H. E. Armstrong in Ainslee's, President Cleveland once received a letter from a child that must have moved him deeply, for, doubtless, it was laid before him as a curiosity. "'Dear President' it ran, 'I am in a dreadful state of mind and I thought r would write and tell you all., About two years ago—as near as I can recollect it was two years ago—I used two postage stamps that had been used on letters before—perhaps more than two stamps, but I can only remember doing it twice.

Enclosed find cost of three stamps and please forgive me, for I was then but thirteen years old and am heartily sorry for what I have done.' "The treasury department does not know whether this letter was written by a boy or girl, but the internal evidence of expression assures us it was a girl. Imagine a boy being 'in a dreadful state of mind' about fooling Uncle Sam with a couple of canceled stamps. The urchin might regret he had wronged his country and make amends, but the crime would not oppress his mind and rack his conscience with intolerable torments. Surely the culprit was a girl.

The hay market riot which resulted in a direct attack upon the represenatives of law was hatched in the saloons of Chicago The assassin of McKinley made his headquarters in a saloon of Buffalo and he was an ex-saloon keeper. The saloonkeepers, with a very few exceptions, are the most godless and an arch ris tic of any class of men on American soil. A noted judge lately said to the writter: "There is not one saloon in a thousand that obeys the law, or that intends to. The saloonkeeper does nothing to respect law that he is not compelled to." The Anti-Saloon League is not a frantic movement but it challenges your judgement and, on the basis of facts, demands that you wake up and take an interest in the preservation of your own social life and government.

As the disease progresses the animal becomes delirious and easily excitable. In many cases the animal will stand with the head or breast against a wall or manger and push. Animals will often eat when badly affected apparently from force of habit, not because they are hungry. In some cases animals will die in a few hours after they are first noticed ailing.

To have concentrated every energy to the amendment of adverse influences and then have some eager, energetic friend come upon you suddenly and ask you, much ns if waking you from a lethargy, "Why don't you do thus and so?" is a severe test of your temper and your affection for the speaker.

"I am innocent, as God knows, ! but they have declared me to be a , thief, and I must go to jail. We have i been poor, my beloved, but we have .been honest, and never until today have we been ashamed to look men in the face. If the sahib judge had been fair minded, tkis disgrace would not have come, but he took the word of i liars and refused to hear me. He is not i a just judge." ; They would have put the elephant at work under another mahout, but he escaped from tho camp that night and took to the jungle. Guya was thrown into jail among a lot of malefactors, and within two weeks there was a quarrel in which he was stabbed to death. That was the end of him so far as any one at Rewah was concerned. The district judge had a long circuit and many cases, and it was two months before he approached Rewah again. ; Night overtook hlxn while he was yet twelve miles away, and with his servants he made camp by the roadside. Wh'en he had eaten his supper, he drew a little way from the camp and sat down on a stone to smoke his pipe. Tt was a bright moonlight uiprht, without breeze onongh to move a leaf, and the patter of a hyena's feet on the bard baked earth could have been heard a quarter of a mile away. So strong was the moonlight that a prowling jackal could be made out along the edge of the Jungle forty rods away. There was no fear of tiger or panther, and6 the judge was peacefully content a s he smoked and cast a careless eye about him. He had not been seated ten minutes when an elephant moved out of the fringe of the jungle and advanced upon him. The great beast moved almost without sound. His feet made no more noise than those of a fox. One acting as sentinel for the camp would have seen him at once ee he moved out, but the icine has been sold for many years in all civilized countries, and we wish to correspond with yon and send you one of our books free of cost.

Any hoj»e that Bert Harrington may have had of securing a pardou has vanished into thin air. Petitions were being circulated lu many parts of the state and the outlook for securing the release of the man who killed Jesse Hooker, whom he found occupying a room with his wife, were exceedingly bright. Monday. imwever. it was discovered that he still loves the woman who betrayed him and caused bin financial ruin, and that he was corresponding with her. A letter which he had intrusted to n man who worked for him fell into the hand* of Ed Farrington. the prisoner's brother. It was couched in endearing terms, and as soon as ho had finished reading it Ed Farrington announced that he would have nothing more to do with the attempt to secure his brother's pardon, and ordered all the petitions called in. Al think u n d e r t h e dreuuwtances," he said, "the best thing Bert can do is to serve his sentence. By the time lie comes out of prison the love which lie still bears for the worthless woman may have worn away—yes. for his own sake I think now that he should serve his full term. I told him what I had done and he was very bitter toward me at first, but before I left him he handed mo his watch and other valuables, and said, kEd, perhaps you'r* right.' " The friends of the imprisoned man are sore at the way he has "thrown'' them, a* they call It. and will d i nothing more to secure his release, which they were confident they could have accomplished.within the next 30 days.

Taylor, the young eastern millionaire who was found guilty of complicity in the Grand Rapids water deal, appeared before Judge Xewuham in the Superior Court Friday afternoon, and submitting to the sentence of the court, paid a tine of $2,0()0 and was released from custody. Taylor is [the Connecticut man who sent $100,000 to Grand Rapids to be. used in securing a water contract with the city, and although he claimed that all but $7,500 was afterwards returned to him it is believed that he received but a small portion of it back, if any.

The body of an eight or nine months* old baby was found in a basket in the river at Grand Rapid* by Claude Brown, a fisherman, Thursday afternoon, and turned over to Coroner Wright. The baby was covered by a coffee sack and the basket weighted down with stones.

It seemed that the captain bwaed a house far off in the neighborhood of "West Bromptpn, and into thii he had moved the wreck of hli fortunes, including his family. The marquis waited a certain length of time. '' "". •' '•' " • • ' • : ' Then one' afternoon he appeared at the new home of the Liverraores. To himself he declared many times that he intended this visit as a positive means of increasing his hold upon the captain's wife, over whom he seemed to be exerting some peculiarly hypnotic power, with the eventual aim In view of inducing her to leave home and seek some asylum on the continent For years he had looked forward to this same moment with the keenest anticipation; for years he had in his mind gone over every little detail, had seen her surprise and alarm, with his own great triumph, as he gent his shafts home with the arm of ' ample revenge; y_etx. strange to say, he did not approach the subject with the eagerness he had expected; the feverish thrill was only conspicuous b y its absence, and he even started guiltily when from some distant part of the rambling old structure a peal of childish laughter was borne to his ears; there was something so condemnatory in the merry sound- By degrees he brought the subject around to where he wanted It, and the manner In which he accomplished this declared that his strategic pjdwers had not waned a particle. "Have you had any American friends?" he asked. "Yes, one," came the rather confused reply, and the listener knew he had caused her mind to revert to that unhappy past about which she even . usually avoided thinking. 'Pardon me; but I once knew a poor fellow, an artist, out in Mexico, who said his had been well acquainted with Captain Livermore's wife," he went on deliberately. "An artist," she echoed, looking pained, and yet showing an eagerness in her voice. "Yes; by name Jack. I chanced to 1o him several favors, and, he eveu confided his history to me. Poor fellow, he had suffered bitterly." "Confided to you—then you know—" in alarm. "That you and he were once betrothed— yes. That while he labored unceasingly in the hope of gaining fame and fortune, your love for him began to grow cold. He had been the meanb' of reconciling you to your proud old English grandfather. In the whirl of society you met Captain Livarmore, then the lion of the hour. You forgot to write to the man who believed in you as he did in Heaven. He came to London, unable to breathe autsido your presence. Then you rrushed him by declaring that while you stfll loved him, you loved position still more, and that you had agreed to marry the captain." Fedora's head had fallen on her wildly heaving bosom, but she neither looked up nor uttered a word as yet, being too stunned as the tremendous revelation was forcing itself upon her mind. He went on pitilessly! "Jack sought a quarrel with the man who had robbed him of all he had on earth—perhaps you never kn°\v of it, but they met at dawn in the deadly dnello, each determined to kill the other. The captain, as they advanced toward each other, fired first and only Inflicted a wound. He was then at Jack's complete mercy, since he was allowed the privilege of walking up as close as he pleased and sending a ball through the heart of hi.-, adversary.'* Fedora groaned, but never moved. "The captain was no coward; believing his hour had.come, he deliberately opened his coat and awaited the fatal shot, his eyes looking into those of the man he had wronged without knowing it. Twice Jack took aim. but each time he failed to pull the trigger. Finally he raised his pistol, fired In the air and fled from the rcen*4." For the first time she raised her head and looked at him, her troubled face marked by conflicting emotions. "Then came the wedding, which poor Jack saw from the organ loft, enduring the tortures of the damned while the woman whom heaven had given to him was united by law to man she did not love. "Then he fled from Vondon as from a place accursed and sought fortune's smiles upotaa new field, hating women because one had been false to her rows, and always hugging to his heart the resolution to some day return and take full satisfaction for that treachery. "That was Jack's story — doubtloaa other men have suffered in the same way from a woman's hand, but none more cruelly. And yet It seemed that fortune took a strange delight in compensating him his loes uy throwing into his hands the most wonderful treasure ever known, surpassing all tales from the days of Ophir and Solomon down to the present. More than this, he was given power and made the head of the Central American republic whither fate had drifted him. "Thus, when Ave years had passed, rich beyond the wildest dreams, made a noble of Spain because of some financial assistance he had given the government at Madrid, Jack came back to London with the full determination to repay the debts he owed, at compound interest, down to the last penny." She was looking at him now with fear-haunted eyes, looking at him as one might gaze upon some dreadful spectre of the past. "You—are—Jack!" she said, slowly, as if almost unable to grasp the idea at once. "I am that once miserable wretch. Having embarked upon my campaign, I lost no time In making your husband's acquaintance. It was my hand that, in a fair and honorable way, stripped him of all he possessed. That is only a beginning." "Jack! Jack! Have you'no mercy?" she groaned, wringing her hands wildly. "EMd you have any when you so coolly turned me down to stay in the mine, while upon my shoulders you mounted to a position in society and gave yourself to a man you never loved? I know all you would say, and be sure, I have steeled my heart against all arguments. What I seek is only justice—a fair equivalent. I have suffered, God only knows how much. It is your turn." He looked like a man of stone, upon whom pleading and tears would be wasted. Fedora attempted neither at first— she seemed to act and speak as if in a dream, for his, influence, whatever it sprang from, dominated her personality to a remarkable extent Had it been so in those days of yore Fedora would never have willingly given him up. "You speak of heaven in the same breath with vengeance—surely you cannot believe, Jack, that God approves of such things. I did wrong you, oh, most grievously; but I have bitterly repented it ever since, and hoped the day might come when I could tell you BO. Often I have wept to remember your despair. It has been the one black spot upon my life, and kept me from being truly happy. But, Jack, won't you forgive if you can never forget—see, I plead with you; hold this wretched remembrance no longer against me. Be my friend, my brother. You already respect my husband; why be the means of his ruin?" "While I cannot forget, I must not forgive. You have not yet begun to know what suffering means. When the world seems dark and your eoul prays for death " "But, Jack, stop; consider; you cannot have revenge upon me'without injuring my children," she said, suddenly remembering his weakness of old, and how a child had never appealed in vain so long as he had a sou left. This was a harder task than the other, and the indomitable marquis was compelled to grit his teeth in the endeavor to stem the signs of retreat that threatened to overwhelm him. "I regret exceedingly that they must suffer, for I am not that cruel to desire through their hold on your heart to inflict pain on you; but as I. an innocent party, once paid the penalty of your sin, so they. too. must inherit the legacy." "Is there no way In which you may be satisfied without the burden falling on them?" "I know of none. They must suffer when you do, all being members of one family. It is fate." "Jack, have mercy!—see, on my knees I beg you to forgive. It is true I wronged you most fearfully. God knows. I am wretchedly sorry. But out of that wrong has come your bright fortune, and, perhaps, Jack, some more worthy woman may fill the place in your heart I once occupied. Forget the past and live for the future. Grasp them before they have flown. Rise above this spirit of revenge upon a weak, wretched woman, who in her thoughtlessness did you harm and lived to repent. Already you have as you say brought ruin upon us. and cast us out from society. For that 1 care little; but for God's sake, leave me the love of my husband, my cnlldren." It waa enough to melt a heart of ice, and reason combined with emotion in the argument Had not the marquis threshed this same «traw himself almost daily—had it been thrust suddenly upon him, he must, have- been fairly qtarwhelm(ed;:; "'*;, ., " It waa n o t his design that Fedora should see any slgn>ot weakness in his manner, and lie maintained the same passionless exterior b e had shown through the whole interview. "I promise nothing! Only this I say, that your chiidreii have doubtless saved you from a fate, that might have come upon you. I do not relent, I simply change my tactics, and for their sakes snare you that humiliation, that shame. What further means of punishment I may decide to invoke you will know in good time. As you sowed so must you reap. That is the law of recompense, of stern justice. Therefore, weep o i e r your wretched lot, and bitterly regret that false step in which you were tempted by pride, I do not dare remain here longer in your presence. At least thank heaven that 1 have decided to abandon the plan upon which I was working as unworthy of an honorable man. "You. are going, Jack?" "Yes." "Without seeing the children?'- pressing a butt6n while he was not looking. "They remind me too bitterly of what you, their unhappy mother, seemed to me in the long ago—all innocence and trusting love. No, I don't wish to see them now." "Oh, Jack, be reconciled—I shall pray daily that you cease to hate me, for the. sake of those little ones. Did you know the boy's name is Jack?" "What!" he gasped, weakening. "Do you mean to say your husband allowed you to do that—and I the man you loved? Incredible!" "I told him all, and it was he who first proposed i t You don't know his generous nature. I can see now what it was so disturbed him—you took his fire and freely gave him hig forfeited life. Oh! wretched woman that I am to have been loved by two such noble <"meri, and to have brought sorrow to both. Who will deliver me from the bondage of my sin?" «• As if in answer to her forlorn cry the patter of little feet sounded somewhere— the marquis, alarmed at his own weakness, turned to fly, but made a miscalculation, for in the hall he was waylaid by the enemy, w h o rushed upon him with exultant cries. He made a swoop for the little girl and swept her up in his arms, until her golden curls nestled against his shoulder when he kissed her pouting lips again and again. Then came the boy, to whom he had paid so little attention before. Now he held him off at arm's length, where he could look into his resolute face and bold black eyes—yes, he was surely the Image of what Livermore must have been as a lad, and yet, and yet, strange to say, the marquis actually believed he could see some traces of his own characteristics in the boy—learned philosophical and psychological scholars and doctors have long argued this point, and agreed that it is not only possible, but actual—the image of her first love still remained strong in Fedora's heart at the time the child was born. Kissing the youngster, the marquis hastily quitted the house, followed by the anxious gaze of the wretched Fedora, until the children, astonished at the strange actions of their friend, loudly bewailed his flight, and demanded her attention, • Weep no more tears of repentance and fear, wife and mother, since the seed has been sown and the harvest must come in due season—that name cf Jack, together with the captain's generosity, proved the last straw that broke the camel's back. CHAPTER XXI. "Love has redeemed mo!" The game was drawing near its close. With each struggle that iron will of the marquis, which had been the marvel and admiration of his friends, came out much weaker. Perhaps the thing that had the most decided influence upon him was the startling conviction that there had been awakened within his heart a glow of love for the little miniature painter. With the flower of love blossoming again in his heart he could hardly have continued in his former policy. Should he be magnanimous and freely forgive, or should he turn aside the bright vision that tempted him. shut himself up in a narrow compass and carry out the miserable plan of the past? Thus he debated, pro and con. But H chanced that the marquis was not given an opportunity to fight his battle to a finish in the usually accepted term —there was a surprise in store for him. a flank movement, as it were, on the part of one who meant to be an ally, yet proved his worst enemy. That person was the Spanish-American bellfe of San Jose. It was on the evening following that when the marquis received such a shock at the hands of Fedora. It was probably 11 ct'clock when one of the hotel lackeys came with a card on a silver salver and presented it to the marquis. This was a frequent occurrence, but on this special occasion ^those who were near by saw the usually cool nabob give a plain s t a r t v (To he continued.) . . . , *jiwu»«. x UBBOBJV by 4 majority *e» It), Waeftied Mr. Rhea fky.), u Democrat, and seated in hi* place J.

"It Ur entirely wrong. In 1385 there w a s brought from the mint in N e w Orleans to the treasury i n Washington f l l , - 000,000, and let was brought in a steamer. "The government decided to transport $15,000,000 from N e w Orleans. It was first thought best to bring it by rail, but this w a s assuming a great risk. The cabinet discussed the mat" ter carefully and i t was finally decided that the safest way would be by water. The members of the cabinet s a w that there was a chance for a hold-up if the money was brought by train. "The United States ship Swatara was first designated to carry the money, but it w a s found that she would be inadequate to transport the whole amount, s o the wooden sailing steamer Yantic w a s pressed into service to help out. We removed from the Swatara her magazines. The shells from the shellroom were removed, as were also the sails from the sailroom, BO that all available space was utilized for packing the coin. The only weapon of defense was a Gatling gun. "The money w a s conveyed from the mint to the vessels in wagons. A squad cf secret service officers watchsd the worK. T h e two vessels were In tow and the trip from New Orleans to the Washington navyyard occupied \ little more than four days. Considerable wind was encountered off Hatteras, but otherwise the trip was without incident. The money was carried from the navy yard to the treasury by an express company.. '"The money w a s in boxes of $2,000 each and in bags. My recollection is that the money was in silver dollars, or the greater part of it, for, while unloading at the navyyard, one of the bags, rctten from being in storage so long, gave way, and a large number of silver dollars v.'ere scattered about the wharf. 'The Swatara was a historic craft. John Surratt w a s brought back from Malta in the Swartara. The prince of Wales, now King Edward, paid her a visit once when she was with the American squadron at Villefranche in the Mediterranean. She was then the flagship. T h e prince, when he s a w her, askea: " 'Is this a yacht or a man of war?' "The Swatara is now in "rotten row* in the navyyard at San Francisco, waiting to be surveyed. The $11,000,- 000 carried by t h e Swatara from N e w Orleans to Washington was the greatest amount of money ever carried by a single cratt." Xiright'a I>l*easc Cured. Sullivan, 111.. March 3lst. Mrs. Kitty F. Seaney was very ill for months and notwithstanding the best possible medical attendance she got no better. Tbe doctors said she had Bright's Disease, and gave her little or no hope of ever being well again. She suffered great pain in her back. which nothing seemed able to relieve. till at last encouraged by the reputation Dbdd's Kidney Pills have attained in the community as a cure for Kidney Diseases, she began to use them. The result w a s a surprise both to Mr3. Seaney and the physicians, for soou after the treatment was commenced her kidneys threw off large quantities of dark diseased matter and she improved rapidly. She used in all ten boxes, and has completely recovered good 'health without pain or symptoms of the Brighfs DLs^as^.

My Informant, a Frenchman, shrugged his shoulders after the French fashion and walked out of the school without replying to my question. Brlsson at once doffed his wire mask and put up his foil. In doing so he turned his back upon his former antagonist and took care to keep It turned till Morrel had left the academy. Evidently the man who had shown his skill was not a favorite with him or, for the mutter of that, with any one present. The Frenchmen all departed, leaving the room to our party. Morrel also de* parted, and as he passed me 1 noticed the most repulsive face I had ever seen on a man. 1 did not wonder at the disfavor in which he was held. I should have been afraid to pass him In a lonely road had he cause to prick me In the back. Three years later, In company with my friend Walter Douglas, I again visited Europe, sailing from New York to Cherbourg and going from there to Mentone, a winter resort in the south' of France. One evening Douglas went to walk with a little French girl who had captivated lilm by her smart appearance, lie failed to return to the hotel, and toward morning, becoming anxious for his safety, I wont to search for him. 1 found him lying in his blood "in ~ine~"gardeTis~ slabbed through tlio heart.. His coat had been cut by the point of a knife or sword so as to make what looked like the letter S. The blade had entered the heart at the point where the tracing ceased. In agony at the murder of-my friend, I called a gendarme, and the body was removed. I made every effort to tiud the murderer, but without success. The mysterious letter S cut in bis coat would not be dropped from my mind. It soenied to partly awaken some memory. At last I remembered'Metre) and the figure >• he had chalked on the waistcoat of M. l.nsson. Then it occurred to me that the letter S was an incomplete l.gure S. Going at once to the police office, 1 requested them to arrest the little French girl whom Douglas had been with on the nijrht of his iinjrder^and. LOCAL N E W S . • Vacation this week.

After disarming his udver sary he took up a piece of chalk, rubbed it on the foil, and, calling to Brisflon to place himself on guard, made one brilliant utroUe after .another and at last left a chalk mark of -c ligure 8 on the fencing master's waistcoat directly over the heart.- "Vlctor Morrel!" exclaimed several who were present with the same breath.

Y.) • Washington, April $.—In the followi n g discourse, prepared by Dr. Talmage before his illness, a vivid glimpse of •the splendors and glories of heavenly life Is presented; text, Revelation viii., 1, "There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." The busiest place in the universe is heaven. I t is the center from which all sood influences start; it is the goal at.which all good results arrive. The Bible represents it as active with wheels and wings and orchestras and processions mounted or charioted. But my text describes a space when the wheeJs ceased to roll and the trumpets toteouud imd the voices to chant. The riders on the white horses reined in their chargers. The doxologies were hushed aud processions halted. The hand of arrest was upon all the splendor*. "Stop, heaven!" cried an omnipofent voice, and it stopped. For thirty minutes everything celestial stood still. "There was silence in heaven about the space oOiair an nour." From all we can learn It is the only time heaven ever stopped. It does not stop as other cities for the night, for there i s no night there. It does not stop for a plague, for the inhabitant never says, "I am sick." It does not stop for bankruptcies, for its inhabitants never fail. It does not stop for impassable streets, for there are no fallen snows or sweeping freshets. What, then, stopped it for thirty minutes? Grotlus and Professor Stuart think it was at the time of the destruction of Jerusalem. Mr. Lord thinks it WBB iu the year 311, between the close of t h e Diocletian persecution and the beginning of the wars by which Constantine gained the throne. 1 do not know when it was, and I do not care when It was. but of the fact that such an interregnum of sound took place 1 am certain. "There was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour," If .geologists are right—and I believe tffey are—there has not been a moment of silence since this world began its travels, and the crashing and the splitting and the uproar and the hubbub are ever in progress. But when among the supernale a voice cried, "Hush!" and for half an hour heaven was still, silence was honored. The full power of silence many of us have yet to learn. We are told that when Christ was arraigned "he answered not a word." That silence was louder than any thunder that ever shook tne world. ' Oftentimes when we are assailed and misrepresented the mightiest thing to •-^ay is to say nothing and the mightiest thing to do is to do nothing. Silence; Do right and leave the results witti God. Among the grandest lessons the world has ever learned are the lessons of patience taught by those who endured uncomplainingly personal or domestic or political injustice. Stronger than any bitter or sarcastic or revengeful answer is the patient silence. In. my text heaven spared thirty minutes, but it will never again spare one- minute. In worship in earthly (Churches where there are many to take part we have to counsel brevity, but how will heaven get on rapidly enough to let one hundred and fojrty-four thousand get through each with his own story and then one hundred and forty-four million and than one hnndred and forty-four billion and then one hundred and forty-four trillion? Not only are all the triumphs of the past to bo commemorated, but all the triumph-s to com*. Not only what we now know of God, but what we will know of him after everlasting study of the deiftc. If my text had said there was silence in heaven for thirty days. I would not have been startled at the announcement, but it indicates thirty minutes. Why, there will be so many friends to hunt up, so many of the greatly good and useful that we will want to see, so many of the inscrutable things: of earth we will need explained, so many exciting earthly experiences we will want to talk over, and all the other spirits and all the ages will want the same, that there will be no more opportunity for cessation. The multitudes of men and women who got no crowu on earth we will want to see them when they get their crown in heaven. I tei? yon "heaven will have no more half hours to spare. My subject also impress^ me with the immortality of a half hour. That half hour mentioned in my text is more widely knowfc than any other •period in the calendar of heaven. The only part of eternity that was ever measured by earthly timepiece waf3 measfjr*g>by t h e minute hand of my t e x t Oh, the half hours! They decide everything. . i am not asking what k y o u | | i ^ ( i » j f e * t f ^ < ^ : < » * # n t l ^ the story of your whole life In eternity. The right or wrong things you can think in thirty minutes, the right o f wrong things yon can say In thirty minutes, the right or wrong things you can do in thirty minutes are glorious or baleful, inspiring or desperate. Look out for the fragments of time. They are pieces of eternity. The half hour a day for good books or bad books, the half hour a day for prayer qr indolence, the half hour a day for helping others or blasting others, the half hour before you go t o business and the half hour after you return from business—that makes the difference between the scholar and the ignoramus, between the Christian and the infidel, between the saint and the demon, between iriumph and catastrophe, between heaven and hell. The most tremendous things of your life and mine were certain half hours. The half hour when in the parsonage of a country minister I resolved to become a Christian then and there, the half hour when I decided to become a preacher of the gospel, the half hour when I first realized that my son was dead, the half hour when I stood on the top of my house in Oxford street and saw our church bum, the half hour in which I entered Jerusalem, the half hour in which I hour in which ! stood on Mars hill and about ten or fifteen other half hours are the chief times of my life. You may forget the name of the exact years or most of the important events of your existence, but those half hours, like the half hour of my text will be immortal; I do not query what you will do with the twentieth century, I do not query what you will do with this year, but what will you do with the next half hour? Upon that hinges ycur destiny, and during that some of you will receive the gospel and make complete surrender, and during that others of you will make final and fatal rejection of the full and free and urgent and impassioned offer of life eternal. Oh, that the next half hour might be the most glorious thirty minutes of your earthly existence! Far back in history a great geographer stood with a sailor looking at a globe that represented our planet, and he pointed to a place on the globe where he thought there was an undiscovered continent. The undiscovered continent was America. The geographer who pointed where he thought there was a new world was Martin Behaim and the sailor to whom he showed it was Columbus. This la:.t was not satisfied until he had picked that gem out of the sea and set it in the crown of the world's geography. O ye who have been sailing up and down the rough seas of sorrow and oin, let me point o u t . t o you another continent—yea, another world—that you may yourself find, a rapturous world, and that is the world a half hour of which we now study! Oh, set sail for it! Here is the ship and here "are the compasses. In other words, make this half hour the grandest ba'f hour of your life aCntl become a Christian. Pray for a regenerated spirit. I say to yor. my hearers, only God by his convicting and converting grace can make a Christian, but he is ready this very Ualf hour to accomplish it. Again, ray text suggests a way of studying heaven so tnat we can better understand it. The word "eternity" that we can handle so much is an immeasurable world. Knowing that wc could not understand that word, the Bible uses it only once. . We say "forever and ever." But how long U "forever and ever?" I am glad that my text puts under our eye heaven for thirty minutes. As when you see a great picture, you put a sheet of paper into a scroll and lock through it or join your forefinger to ypur thumb and look through the circle between, and the picture becomes more intense, s;> this masterpiece of heaven by St. John is more impressive when we take only thirty minutes of it at a time. Now, we have something that we can come nearer to grasping, and it is a quiet heaven. When we discourse about the multitude of heaven, it must he also a nervous shock to those who have all their lives been crowded by many people and who want a quiet heaven. For the last thirty-five years I have been much of the time in crowds and under public scrutiny and amid excitements, and l have sometimes thought for a few weeks after 1 reach heaven I would like to go down in some quiet part of the realm, with a few friends, and for a little while try comparative solitude. You will find the Inhabitants all at home. Enter t h e King's palace and take only a glimpse, for wc have only thirty minutes for all heaven. "Is that Jesus?" "Yes." Just under the hair along his forehead is the mark of a wound made by a buna* of twisted brambles, and his foot on the throne has on the round of his instep another mark of a wound made by a spike, and a scar on the palm of the right hand and a, scar o u the palm of the lefi hand. But what a countenance 1 What a smile!' What a grandeur! What a loveliness! W h i t ' a V " o v e r w h e l m ^ ! look of kindneap and grace! W h y , h« looks as It he had redeemed a world*! But cotoe on, for our time is short,. 'Dg you see that row of patkcee? That i i the Apostolic row. . Do you s e e that long reach of architectural glories? That Is Martyr row.' Do you s e e that > Immense structure? That Is the biggest house In heaven; that Is "the house of many mansions." Do you see that wall? Shade your eyes against Its burning splendor, for that Is the wall of heaven, jasper at the bottom and amethyst at the top. See this river rolling through the heart of the great metropolis? That is the river concerning which those who once lived on the banks of the Hudson or the Alabama or t h e Rhine or the Shannon say, "We never saw the like of this for clarity and sheen." That is the chief river of heaven—so bright, s o wide, so deep. But you askt "Where are the asylums for the old?" I answer, "The inhabitants are all young." "Where are the hospitals for the lame?" "They are all agile." "Where are the infirmaries for the blind and. deaf?" "They all see and hear." "Where are the almi.^iouses for t h e poor?" "They are all multimillionaires." "Where are the inebriate asylums?" "Why, there are no saloons." "TIRED ALL THE l 11 l . « j n l - %Xt\-. »rv v * < r Wonnen 1tt the : * Spring Fever 4s Spring Catarrh. Peruna Cures Catarrh. Where are the graveyards?" "Why, stopped" on Mount Calvary, t h e half f they never die." Pass down those boulevards of gold and amber and sapphire and see those interminable streets built by the Architect of the universe into homes, over the threshold of which sorrow never steps and out of whose windows faces, once pale with earthly sickness, now look rubicund with immortal health. "Oh, let me go in and Bee them!" you say. No, you cannot go in. There are those who would never consent to let you come out again. You say, "Let me stay here in this place where they never sin, where they never suffer, where they never part." No, no! Our time is short, our thirty minutes are almost gone. Come on! We must get back to earth before this half hour of heavenly silence breaks up, for in your mortal state you cannot endure the pomp and splendor and resonance when this half hour of silence is ended. The day will come when you can see heaven in full blast, but not now. Come on! There is something in the celestial appearance which makes me think that the half hour of silence will soon be over. Remember we are mortal yet and cannot endure the full roll of heavenly harmonies and cannot endure even the silent benven for more than half an hour. Hark! The clock in the tower of heaven begins to strike, and the half hour is ended. Descend! Come back! Come down till your work is done. Shoulder a little longer your burdens. Fight a little longer your battles. Weep a little longer your griefs. And then take heaven not in its dullest half hour, but in its mightiest pomp, and, instead of taking it for thirty minutes, take it world without end. But how will you spend the first half hour of your heavenly citizenship after you have gone in to stay? After your prostration before the throne in worship of him who made it possible for you to get there at all I think the rest of your first half hour In heaven will be passed in receiving your reward if you have been faithful. I have a strangely beautiful book containing the pictures of the medals struck by the English government in honor of great battles. These medals are pinned over the heart of the returned heroes of the army on great occasions, the royal family present and the royal bands playing—the Crimean medal, the medal of the mutiny, the Victoria cross, the Waterloo medal. In your first half hour in heaven in some way you will be honored for the earthly struggles in which you won the day. Stand up before all the royal house of heaven and receive the Insignia while you are announced as victor over the drafts and freshets of the farm fl°Jd, victor ever the temptations of the Stock Exchange, victor oyer professional allurements, victor over domestic infelicities, victor over mechanic's shop, victor over the storehouse, victor over home worriments, victor over physical distresses, victor over hereditary depressions, victor over sin and death and hell. Take the badge that celebrates those victories through our Lord Jesus Christ. Take It In the presence of all the galleries, saintly, angelic and divine, while all heaven chants. "These are they who came out of great tribulation and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb." "Thy sainti in all this glorious war Shall conquer though they die; They see the triumph from afar And Belie it with their eye." May 5,. 1001. The Peruna Medietas C«*,. Cohsmbns, Ohio.

I was very sick and sore, and had to walk with the aid of two canes. J i was a very painful attack, but I don't know what it was. Some said it was Lumbago and others that it was Sciatica or Rheumatism. "I was told to take Dodd's Kidney Pills, and began a treatment. After 1 had used one box 1 could walk with one cane, and after two boxes were used I could walk without any help. I kept on and three boxes cured me completely.

In the average Chinese restaurants in those cities good board can be had by the Chinese for from $15 to |20 a month, and these restaurants are largely patronized. As a rule the Chinamen are compelled to lodge in mean quarters; but In New York and San Francisco there are a number of weil appointed homes occupied by the families of well-to-do Chinese merchants, which the American seldom or never sees, in New York there la.an apartment house, up to date in every respect, occupied by Chinese families.

Parr, whose wit has lived a century after him, meeting Lord Erslcine, with whom he was friendly, said: "Erskine, I mean to write your epitaph when you die." "Doctor,' answered the great lawyer, "it is almost a temptation to commit 3uiclde." This recalls another story. Gibbon,.the. historian, had a rival in a French physician for tne favor of e titled lady, and the doctor was one day annoyed by Gibbon's monopolizing the lady's company. "When my Lady Elizabeth Foster 13 made ill by your twaddle," said the doctor in a loud tone, "1 will cure her." "And when my Lady Elizabeth Foster is dead from your prescriptions," said the historian, "I will immortalize her." S p e a t # 8 3 , 0 0 0 t o "Get E » e n . M The extremes to which some peopla will go for revenge have seldom been better demonstrated than in the case of two rival shipowners in the norih of England some years ago. The manager of a local colliery invited tenders for the conveyance of large quantities of coal to America, and when the contract was given to one shipowner the other immediately set to work t o wreak vengeance. He first approached the owners of the colliery and offered to carry the coal across the Atlantic for a shilling a ton less than cost price, and as this effected considerable saving to the colliery, the proprietors countermanded the former contract and closed with the second oiler. The shipowner was content to suffer a loss for five year a in order t o spite his rival, and at the end of that time he capitulated, for his revenge had cost him $85,000. reports of the wedding. All other con slderatlons were eclipsed by the other fact that her sister had married a titled foreigner, and not a very big title at that In every published account the bride was described not as "daughter of Mr. and Mrs, ," but as the "sister of the Countess ." The fact that the marriage of this same countess' sister turned out most unhappily, and that, finding it impossible to live with her husband, she was some years ago obliged to get a legal separation, counts for nothing.

Both were released on bail of $1,000 each. The charges grow out of the death of the woman, who came here sick on March 19, and w a s attended by Dr. (Jriswold. The woman gradually grew •worse and died Tuesday morning, the body beiug at once removed from the hotel and shipped to Battle Creek for burial. Dr. Griswold says the woman came to his office suffering from the effects of a criminal operation, which she said had been performed in Detroit. She said she had had the same operation pj^'iirmini^siixeiLJLhnes, and admitted that she had led a fast life for ten years, but said that her family was res e c t a b l e , and she wished to protect them. Tl»e doctor did what he could for her. but did not perform the operation. Three years ago he had attended the woman at Harper hospital in Detroit. The girl is.very well known about Battle Creek, where she is best remembered through her daring horsemanship. She always drove superb animals and sported a natty rig. She left here only a short time ago, going to Detroit. Her parents are also well known, living a few miles south of (his city. She was 25 years old and very attractivJv. She has t w o sisters.

One of the most shocking tragedies ever recorded in Mecosta county tooK place Wednesday morning near Borland settlement, a lhig station on the G. R, & I., a few miles north of Morley. Eugene Richards, a well-to-dofarmer, shot and instantly killed his wife, as she lay ill in bed. and then killed himself. He is thought to have been temporarily insane. Mrs. Richards had been sick for some time, and the necessary care for her and anxiety concerning her,condition, probably unbalanced his mind. The tragedy was discovered by Edward Andrews, who was employed by Richardson, on the adjoining farm. A girl employed to care for the sick woman, while on her way to Richards' home, heard two gunshots, and returned to whore Andrews w a s at work, saying that she w a s afraid to go to the house. Andrews went to investigate, and on entering the bedroom found Mrs. Richards lying in bed with an ugly hole in her breast and Richards himself kneeling at the bedside. A touch showed that he w a s dead, also shot in the breast. The deed w a s committed with a single- barreled shotgun, and the murderer was forced to reload before he could kill himself. Mr. and Mrs. Richards were about 40 years of age a ment this year,, the efforts of the tax commission to reach the personal belongings of citizens for taxation having resulted in the discovery of new methods of evading the law.

"In one cjfthe smAtl prtvmte paflora, sir. Z will show you the way, if you please." *•..•«., The marquis glanced. again a t the card which he held, and read1: '• "Maurice Stantbn Livermore: "Give'me' a private interview immediately.", , ; , "Lead, me to the gentlemen," he said, quietly, though there was a tumult in his h e a r t As ho reached the door of the bijou parlor he saw a man pacing restlessly to and fro, much as caged tigers arq wont to exercise. It waa Captain Livermore. but hia friends would have been shocked a t his appearance,for his hair was sadly lacking in order, his face flushed, as though he dallied long over the wine, and his whole aspect like that of a man who has been on a spree. The marquis was disturbed; h e anticipated bad news, but had not a glimmer of what shape it would take until the captain, seeing him enter, advanced to meet him. "Captain Livermore, what can I do for you?" the marquis asked, coldly. "Sir, I have come for my wife!" The marquis.started a s if some on<« had fired a pistol shot close to his ear. Even the most collected individual might be a trifle rattled by such an answer. Still this did not prevent him, while he was whipping his wits into line, from;excaliming: "Pardon me, sir, but I fail to exactly comprehend the meaning of what you say." "Then I will explain further. My first intention was to shoot you down on sight, but I could not forget that once you refused to avail yourself of the privilege of taking my forfeited life, and I swore that the man who had been that generous should have at least a chance to defend himself before I killed him." "Still I am i n the dark. The first thing I grasp is that she has told you who I am." "I was a blind fool never t o have suspected it. You ruined me, .marquis, but surely that should have satisfied your desire for revenge. All that I had might go and welcome, so long a s I still call my wife and babies mine. Again I say, I have come to you to demand my wife." "And I reply, sir, that I have not seen your wife since last evening, when 1 left her in your own house, together with her children." Eye looked into eye. It was as though the captain's whole existence depended upon what ho road there, his manner that of a distracted man holding his passions in check only through the most desperate effort. "Jack Overton, do you swear to that?" he demanded, hoarsely. "I do, on my life." Again the captain met his gaze and seemed to read his very soul through those open windows. After all, these were two men built pretty much upon the same m o d e l - both brave and frank by nature—such individuals can understand each other through the mysterious realm of telepathy. "I cannot believe that the man whose generous spirit caused hira to fire above my head on the other occasion would look mo squarely in the eye and speak falsely. Yes, even against my will, 1 am compelled t o believe you, and I prove it by offering you my hand, marquis; but if you are not guilty, then, in the name of heaven, who has taken my wife away?" I left home after dinner to meet a very important engagement that had a connection with my f u t u r e - left there with the kisses of wife and children warm upon my face, for Fedora had told me all, and her distress concerning your possible future action had drawn us closer together. I returned later in the evening, just as speedily as a cab could bring me from the Victoria, to find her gone and my little darlings motherless. This note was left behind." He handed the other a crumpled Bheet of paper, upon which had been written in a peculiar chlrography, a long, running hand, such as is taught in Spanish schools: "To balance accounts. "Guerre a m o r t " When he looked up his face was ashen gray. Those eager, bloodshot eyes saw that the miserable and tragic little paper, worthy of a place on the comedy stage, had struck home. "You have guessed!" he exclaimed. "I believe I know: who wrote this, "and, therefore, w h o l e at the bottom of the outrage. I n o n e way I am to blame. LiaUn, a n d in the shortest possible time I will tell you about the Senorita Juanite and, the strange infatuation s h e h a e for ine." Rapidly he sketched th* romantio story of his life under tropic skies. The captain might have imagined it was a leaf from such amazing tales as t h e Arabian Nights, only that his own deep interest in,the matter forbade. By degrees he began to realize what) a desperate woman they had to cope with, and new fears for his wife's safety assailed him. It was hardly to be wondered a t that the husband, who had faced many a deadly peril himsell unflinchingly, trembled and turned to his companion for strength in this moment of terrible d i s t i l s , when the woman he loved better than his lifo was in danger. Nor did he look in vain. The marquis had shaken off all thedoubts and fears that assailed him, and, aroused to a realization of t h e desperate situation that faced them, was again the peerless comrade whe had stood by Barrajo when they fought for the Golden Fleece. "Captain," he said, sternly, "depend on me to remedy this thing. If it took my life, I would freely give it to bring your wife back to your arms, for love has redeemed me." It was a* splendid thing for the captain, who found himself s o overwhelmed by the distressing condition of affairs, that he had a comrade wide awake to the importance of speedy action. Deep down in his heart the marquis cursed his folly for ever having been friendly in the least with one possessed of such a tigerish, tropical temperament, and groaned to think of evil befalling Fedora through such a source. Shorn of all outside consid2ration then, the captain's story was of t h e hackneyed type — unsuspicious people may. be deceived by the most ancient of specious tales, so that there is little need of originality, even in these modern days, in the matter of decoying a woman from under her own roof. The paper which Livermore had picked up in the hall explained much, for strange to say, it contained writing that in some respects resembled his own—at least under the supposed conditions he might have been the authoi of the message: "Was injured in a collision with another cab. Send this good Samaritan sister to bring you to me. Come immediately. God alone knows how serious it may be. Maurice." When the marquis read it he muttered under his breath. Perhaps the "good Samaritan sister" was Juanita herself in deep disguise, and with the most sinister of motives in her heart. "Come, we must go to your house without delay. The start must be made from there. On the way we can collect ourselves and make some preparation for the work." This was his way of'starting in, and as they left the hotel the marquis beckoned to a gentlemanly looking youn» fellow who, while appearing to be somewhat of a swell, was in reality a detective serving as his bodyguard. A four-wheeler was next in order, and thus they reached the captain's house. The marquis asked a few questions and then allowed the man from Scotland Yard to take charge of the case. He drove at once to the railway station and made inquiries a t the booking office. luckily the captain bad a photograph of his wife along with him. snatched from the mantel at home by suggestion of his one-time deadly enemy, but now devoted friend. The clerk recollected the party well. It consisted of two ladles, who appeared sick or suffering in some way. a couple of attendants, honest-looking fellows, and the woman who seemed to have charge of them all—he had supposed her to be a housekeeper or companion. Thus they knew those they sought had gone on to Dover. It was a great triumph for the detective, and their faith in him arose accordingly. Still the situation was lugubrious enough, since there was no train until morning. That meant o four or five hours wasted. The captain grew red in the face with congested anger and threatened to have an apoplectic fit, but the marquis, upon learning that only a question of pounds, shillings and pence kept them from reaching Dover, put his hand into his pocket and made immediate a r - rangements for a motor and one firstclass carriage. I n ten minute* they were leaving the station, and-Jong ere the city limits had' been reached found . themselves whirling along at a furious speed. It was agreed by all that Fcdorj While In the cab .must have beon4rugged in some way, to prevent her calling for help*-doiiMMMf fceiv <enieln captor bad made ail preparations for this 'and had no difficulty in *tup«fying her Htffld, while she stiUreUhred the' use of her limbs. .

Two! A .strange, cold shiver went through the marquis, as a dreadful thought flashed home.. He remembered how he had met Jur anita on the stairs; how she had questioned him about the demure miniature painter; how she had bitterly exclaimed that the little girl of his former acquaintance had now grown up into a charming little woman. Good heavens! Could it be possible that her terrible Spanish hatred had extended to Mazette, and that, having laid all her plans to accomplish a certain purpose, she set out to kill two birds with one .stone? And while he sat there grinding hie teeth and swearing that if heaven would forgive him and spare her he would devote his fortune to make people happy, the special gaye several sharp whistles and plunged into Dover.

Again the man from Scotland Yard was put in charge, and bent his energies to discovering what had become of those they sought. ' The trail finally led them to the water, and then they knew the crisis was, near. In all his life Jack Overton never suffered such wretched pangs of remorse and despair as came upon him while they looked out upon the dark waters where the stars were reflected upon myriads of little wavelets, and considered what a trackless waste the sea might be. The detective at last secured positive news. Those they sought had gone to sea in a small steamer that had evidently been awaiting their arrival. There was only one thing to d o - follow. Given a feverish anxiety to be afloat, and unlimited capital, in a seaport one need not search very long for the craft. The detective soon had them aboard a little craft that was used in the coasting trade, a stanch and speedy boat, such as would answer' their purpose admirably. Out of the harbor and away. About daybreak of the second day the wind blew- great guns, and they found themselves in a storm. The storm was at its height about noon, and a3 they had been blown far out of their course, no one might say when the port of Santander would be reached, although the captain made some sort of a prophecy the under certain conditions they would bring up there by the second night. At sundown the storm still raged and the gallant little steamer struggled desperately to hold her own. During tho night, between the cat naps he secured, the marquis was inipixssed with the belief that the vessel did not pitch and toss so violently and upon making an observation found that the clouds had parted, leaving a clear sky overhead. Upon reaching deck he found everything lovely. The sea had subsided almost entirely and a fresh morning breeze was commencing to stir its surface into myriads of laughing wavelet3. About noon the captain called their attention by means of the glass to far distant land to the south, which he declared to be the northern coast of Spain, showing that they were now traversing the romantic Bay of Biscay, known to. the natives as the Gulf of Gascogne. Thus there was now a fair chanc?. the captain promised, that before midnight they would be at anchor in the harbor of Santander. How like lead dragged the hours as they steamed directly toward the beacon! But all things must end, and finally they entered the harbor, where other vessels lay at anchor, and the captain soon had their mudhook fastened in Spanish soil. It was perhaps ten minutes later When the marquis appeared at Livermore's elbow as the latter stood at the rail surveying the lights of the to\ra, and said in a hoarse whisper: "Make no outcry, my friend; control yourself and listen.

Patrick, lawyer, wan convicted of the murder on September 23, 19()0, of the 'aged millionaire recluse, William Marsh Bice. The penalty under the statute is death in the electric chair.

There was but small attendance as it seems that the citizens have a grudge against the school library fund or something of the kind. It is discouraging for the Professor and scholars to work up a good entertainment for the benefit of the people and then have barely enough people attend to pay costs. The price of admission was only 15 cents with reserye tickets at 10 cents and get only one business man who purchased reserved seats. Is this ri^ht to our home talent and home school. Had it been a 15 cent medicine show, rain, weather or any old thing would not have kept the people away. The young people worked hard on the play for. two weeks, and all rendered their parts in excellent shape, and were deserving of mnch better patronage at the hands of the home people. Those who were present appreciated and enjoyed the entertainment and many were heard to remark that it was a shame that more did not take an interest in the work of tbe school. After paying expenses the library fund will be increased by about $4.00, (after some of tbe expenses were donated by two different firms,) for their two weeks work. Aotlce.

In view of the fact that the ancient donatole to cite another action of a similar character wherein the judge case of the people against Murline has been drawn out of some ancient pigeonhole and dusted off and paraded before a smiling public, it may be parpermitted mercy to temper the rigors of justice. It will be remembered that i n the case against Murline the defendant had been caught kissing Sarah TAittie, contrary to the statutes of tho $($w Haven colony, and that after a fiir trial o n Hay day, 1660, the governor? had eeatenced both of them to pay a fine©* twenty shillings.

And strange to say tho I had much to tell her I could not frame the words, but was content to walk in quiet by her syde, with the folds of her frock sometymes touching me and ».soe sending lyttle thrills thro my blud. And when we reached her father's <lommycile we lingered o'er the paylings. Then Dorothy leaned a lyttle toward me and sayd in her gentil voice. 'Good night to you, Philip.' And of a suddyn my hart swelled and I was near to chokying, and ere I knew what I had done I leaned across ye pasgjngs and kyssed her! '^pril ye four—I have been summoned before ye governor's counsyl to answer to ye charge of unlawfully kysslng Misstress Dorothy Graham. It appears that Abijah Clamphill saw me from betoynd ye hedge.

If Philip stole ye goods I, stood idly by and saw ye laroenly ac- j compliant Punish mee. too.' Aiul then of a suddyn a quick smile crodt the governor's face, but hys voice was, harsh, when he sayd: 'Yo have been found gilty of a heinous offence agaynst the goode character of ye colony, Philip Ames. It is deserving of severest punyshment, but becaws of youre youthe, and more especially becaws of ye verry grate temptayshun,' here he caste a swifte glance at blushyng Dorothy. *I hereby decree that the sentynce concerning you be that >*ou fihaH pay a fyne of 1 shillyng into ye colony treasure?—and I put ye, Philip Ames, on probaytion until said ehyi.yng be paid.'

It is a simple matter to reach the lands apoken oft the Canadian Government having agencies established at S t Paul and Duluth, Minnesota; Grafton, North Dakota; Watertown. South Dakota; Omaha, Nebraska; Kansas City, Missouri; Des Moines, Iowa; Wausau and Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; Indianapolis, Indiana; Sault Ste.

This U a great opportunity to secure a home free of cost or if you desire to purchase lands they can be bought now at prices much lower than will exist in a few months. But read what the correspondent referred to has to say of one particular district. "To the Editor of the Leader—The rush of the land seekers will be to the prairie provinces of the Dominion of Canada. The allurements of a soil that yields 40 bushels of wheat to the acre are too great to be resisted and an immense migration from this country may be eonf dently predicted. People here laughed at first at the idea of any one leaving the United States for Canada, but the Dominion authorities knew they had a good thing and they stuck to it. Their officials evidently knew the value of printers' ink. They spared no expense in letting the people of this country know that these lands were there and that they were exactly as represented. They did more. They sent out specimens of the crops raised and samples of the grain. We have had them here at four consecutive street fairs, presided over by one of their ablest immigration officers. This gentleman spared no pains. He explained the value of the lands an J the richness of the soil from morning to night to all comers. "All this told in the long run. Several went up from here to spy out the land and l!ke Caleb, the son of Jepunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun. brought back a good report, and now some tec families will leave here in a few weeks for Saskatoon to settle upon farni3 there., and others are preparing to follow. Of course many will appear shocked at M:e Id** of any cne leaving the stars anc stripes for the Union Jack, but patriotism is but a nomenclature after all, and our experience has been that in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand a man is the most patriotic where he can make the most money and do the most harm to those *hom he hates." wmimm** ' V SOME PECULIARITIES GF WRITER* Oaa»e* Do 6o«4 Werk VeJeeeTfcelr VadS Ave titaaaored.

KIMBERLEY IN THE SAMOAN STORM Heroism of the I*ate Rear-Admiral and His Man. "Rear Admiral Kimberley, who died at his New England home recently," said a native officer the other day, "will always be remembered by his brother officers for his action during the hurricane in Samoa several years ago, when several American, British and German ships were wrecked. A notable incident of that disaster Is a verification of the Baying that 'blood is thicker than water.' The skill and heroism displayed by the American officers and men under command of Admiral Kimberley on that occasion thrilled the whole country. "As the British cruiser Calliope, which had more engine power than the other ships present, steamed out of the harbor to safety in the open sea Admiral Kimberley assembled the band on deck of the flagship Trenton and had it play "God Save the Queen" .and "the Star Spangled Banner." The Trenton was grinding to pieces on the reef at the time, but the skill and seamanship displayed by the British tars in getting their ships out of a tight place aroused the admiration of the admiral and his men to such an extent that they lined up on deck and cheered the Englishmen as they sailed past them to. safety. "It'was at that time," continued the officer, according to the Washington Star, "that the band incident occurred. The British men-of-warsmen appreciated the compliment and roared back chers of encouragement until they were out of hearing. The Trenton and the Vandalia, another American warship were destroyed, and the Nipsic was cast ashore and badly damaged/' G«neron* Lord and S o n M t Farmer.

An anecdote significant of the ways of the house Is told of the late earl's father. A farmer came to him to represent that his wheat had been damaged seriously by the hounds. The earl inquired at what he appraised the damage. The man said £50, and it was at onca paid. After harvest the farmer came again and said that the wheat far from being injured where most trampled on, seemed the strongest when they came to cut it, and consequently he had brought back the £50. "Ah," said Lord P., "this i3 "as things should be 'twixt man and man.' Then he wrote out a check for £100, saying, "Take care of this, and when your eldest son is of age present it to him, and tell him of the occasion which produced it"—London Chronicle.

HlfXStLfli® f a)rs Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of ri?nt-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, eaclj in a way, while it Is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when uaturo needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup )Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the tcrpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for. salejby all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beueflcial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from tiio method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to tho most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every objectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package. ffiswjRrciA San Francisco, Cel.

"Let TO have a council of war," the .mjir^uJa^flaM.. jritkjjnexgy, J^and take the opinions of our detective and the captain as to the advisability of making an immediate advance on the enemy's works." A plan of action was decided upon. Steam should be kept up by the com mander, so that an immediate departure from the harbor could be made in case ft. was deemed necessary. The three others entered a boat, which was manmed by several of the stoutest and most expert sailors on board—men whose muscles were capable of enormous work should there be need of haste. If an indifferent watch were kept aboard the craft there would be little o r n o difficulty to accomplishing the first part of their scheme, at least. This was to temporarily disable the screw of the steamer, so that such a thing as pursuit would be out of the question. Nearer they drew, and those who were so deeply interested held their very breath, for fear lest a sudden hail from on board might bring aoout discovery and possibly ruin for their plans. v CHAPTER XXTII. The Search for a Wife. "It was already arranged that in cas>e such a contretemps occurred they were to advance to the side of the steamer, addressing the man on guard in Spanish, which the marquis was easily capable of doing, announcing them3elvea officers of the port, bent upon their duties, who wished to come aboard. Onoe alongside, they would speedily clamber over the low waist of the little steamer, whether.invited or n o t As to the rest, they were armed, and meant to carry out their object though the heavens fell. The sailors were to manage the task of using the chain which they had carried, so that it would be wouud about the propeller with the first few revolutions made. It was well done. Not a single clanking sound betrayed them. Their next task required an abundance of nerve, which, fortunately, was not lacking. The marquis had been using his- eyes as well as the darkness allowed, and he saw that the steamer was built in a manner that made the task of boarding her more difficult than he had anticipated. They might be compelled to rely upon some chance rope dangling over the side. The sailors knew what to expect, and foot by foot the boat was worked along close to the hull of the steamer until the groping hand of the mau who searched came in contact with what they sought, a rope, by means of which any sailor ashora co Id. up in arrival at the vessel, clamber aboard. The marqn's was the first to take hold of it after the sailor had fastened one end to a thwart, and he passerl over the rail of tto steamer in a jiffy. Then came the man from Scotland Yard, who also made the passage easi l y enough. — With Livermore it was a serious business, for he had accumulated much avoirdupois since his last equatorial tramp through the African wilderness. However, the same game spirit as of yore resided in his body, and while he puffed considerably, making sounds that Jack feared would draw attention from the watch, the discovery did not come, and he was given the privilege of assisting his friend aboard. Fortune favored them in that they were able to reach the cabin without meeting any one. XtaceatJthe-saloon door, they looked its length without discovering a living . soul. Evdcntly those whom they sought must be in their staterooms opening off the cabin, and there waa nothing left to them out to open uisue, one ar a time, to discover the truth. This was the crucial time. The marquis, bold enough to take advantage of the slender opportunity fortune had granted them, stepped to the first door and opened it. The light from the cabin entering disclosed Fedora seated on a chair, having refused to retire to the berth after the terror of the last two nights. He advanced to her side and said in a low but earnest tone: "Do not cry out, or all is lost! We have come across the water to save you. He is close at hand—your husband. Come to him now, and please utter no sound above a whisper." Then she suffered him to lead her out, not sure that it was a dream or some delusion."- There stood the captain awaiting his own, and with a cry she could not repress ehe threw herself into his extended arms. The marquis rightly feared that discovery was now sure to come, and realizing that not a second must be lost he begged Fedora to tell him if she had a companion in her captivity. Unable to speak, she pointed to a door opposite to the stateroom she had occupied, and as Jack turned to it he saw Mazette standing there, with pale face and disheveled hair—but Mazette, alive, thank Heaven! Another instant and he had clasped her to his heart—it was one of those moments when- words are useless to convey the sentiments of the soul, for Mazette knew he loved her, even as she had for years adored her former comrade and instructor in Bohemia. Just as the marquis, overwhelmed by his sentiments, threw the mask aside and betrayed his love for Mazette by straining the miniature painter to his heart another door flew open and there issued forth a figure that in Its warlike demeanor might have stood for a modern Joan of Arc —a figure that, at sight of the marquis and Livermore, uttered *avage little cries in Spanish, arid with blazing eyes and heaving bosom rushed toward the former, waving desperately in her hand a revolver, which he knew full well she had learned how to use under the palms of Gautarica, since he himself, as wretched luck would have it, had taught her the first principles of marksmanship. tile. T U a wa* a beglaaingvi., AM the others joined the captain on deck they, found themaelve* confront* eel by a rabble of wild-eyed barefooted Spanish sailors. The marquis addressed them in quick sentences, straight t o tno point; hi* Spanish was good, and he knew how to best handle such men—mighty little time did he spend in explaining by what right they came there, for such rovers care not a snap for the affection existing between husband and wife—with them right is but as might allows, and their god the brazen image that will buy liquor and tobacco. Thus the marquis had a card up his sleeve, and he played it now at a tinxa when it was of the greatest value. When he drew out his hand from ""ttfclwSSet It contained a seore-ef g©W pieces. These he sent along the deck with a toss that is only gained through experience. It was a clever trick. In vain some fellow in command shouted and *wore at the sailor men to mass themselves in front of the invaders and prevent them from leaving the, vessel; he addressed, but empty air, for the spot that had just held the Spanish crew knew them no longer. The gleam of golden coins rolling about the deck was enough to make them even forget their allegiance to the young King, and, heedless alike of entreaties and hard imprecautions, they set about "scrambling for—the coins*. * ment felt at seeing the marquis almost caused her to faint. CHAPTER XXIV. Where Gold Proved Trumps. Luckily the detective was prepared for just such a move as this, and as she came within reach, not noticing his presence, he caught her and with a quick movemenc wrested the revolver from her grasp. The movement was successful, but it cost him dear, for the frenzied woman, baffled in her design, scratched his face after the manner of a tiger cat, all the while screaming as might an escaped maniac—doubtless, for the time being, she was out of her senses, so fearful a hold upon her mind had this idea of Corsican revenge taken, that the prospect of losing her prey rendered her mad. He threw her from him with a curse, for she would very likely have dug his eyes out. It was now high time they departed. Already the alarm was given and they could hear the shouts of Spanish sailors as they ran to and fro, or came tumbling up from their quarters forward. Already the captain was leading his w h o ' t o the deck; the . old warrior's fighting blood wa.3 up, and woe to the man who dared bar his path. The marquis followed with Mazette. As for the detective, finding a key }-o the cabin door he whipped this lat ter shut and, having secured it, placed the key In hU pocket, hoping that by thus separatii.g Juanita from the unscrupulous captain and crew he jnighLitssenth.e.-daiisejk— . It was a politic move and did hiru credit. They cpu'd hear her pounding at the door while her shrieks arose; then came several shots from her recovered revolver, whether as signals or fired in the hope of demolishing the lock that heUi hei prisoner none could say. No sooner had Livermore issued forth upon the deck than he was set upon by a couple of men, one of them possibly the captain of the steamer, who recognized in him a stranger. At least here was an opportunity for Livermore to prove that he had noi become rusty in his five years' retirement from the field of adventure and travel, and right royally he emphasized this point under the eyes of his wife. —11« threw out hie right hand—aadlibrary £ ) & $ « iliWl l t f p e M f t * s ^ ulatlon for the maintenance.

Just now their one desire w a s to shake off the society of these sad seadogs, and leave them to fight it out among themselves. Accordingly, a forward movement was begun without delay, and they managed to reach the side of the vessel where hung the rope that had been of such signal assistance in helping them aboard, about the time the sailors again gathered in a threatening crowd. The marquis lowered Mazette into the arm* of the stout lads waiting below. Then came Fedora, assisted on both sides, and such trust did the ladies feel in those brave hearts that had risked all these dangers in their behalf that they forgot to exercise the first privilege of the feminine mind and scream as they were lowered over tfc-e rail into the darkness below. As the-Spaniards, urged on by their valorous officers, who took good care to keep in the rear, showed signs of making a rush, t h e nabob again with eager fingers chased all the fugitive coins he had in his pockets, and, having corraled them, open^i another fusilade. And again it was a grand success— nothing could withstand the power of gold. Taking advantage of this digression, while the men chased the rolling discs, the captain was assisted down the rope and the marquis followed. As the man from Scotland Yard started to follow, one of the steamer's officers made a slash at the rope with his cuchillo and severed i t Luckily the detective was kept from going overboard, and the fragment of rope, found later on, was seized by Overton as a memento of this remarkable adventure.
