A charming anonymous bachelor, writing of woman,'says, "A man of it> tullectual taatets lb unduly disponed, as a rule, to value fvtuikneuB, and this quality la not one that women rate very Mga." >If eue look* closely into th©flight feminine averslou to frank, nets it 1« seen to reat on the idea that a Trunk statement Is bound to be a dtsngreable one. If J have a stoop, my frankest fnand tells me uf it. If my French accent Is bad, my soup too salt, my new wall paper too vivid, 'or my spring gown unbecoming, I learn these facts from the various folk who believe in speaking out what they think. On the other hand, my complexion or my preserves are praised by those gentl* sooils who are not possessed by any lofty sense of duty toward social truthfulness, and who whisper ihelr com mendations apologetically, as if they decried their own enthusiasms for being less useful than the fault-findings of their critical neighbur. Women— nice women—have been taught for centuries that approval may be mistaken for pursuit. So they restrict approval to glance and smile. They may speak their free minds in that gloomy region where condemnation awaits the shrinking victim, but not in the sunshine, even if that does fall on the just and the unjust. Until we can separate frankness from pain-giving in the thought of women, says Youth's Companion, their masculine friends must continue to bewail the woman's lack of frankness. The truer and deeper the womanliness of the woman, the more she shrinks from inflicting suffering. Kven when it might be wholesome, she avoids it; and to give pain in the interest of an abstract ideal of frankness seems to her little less than an outrage. Is she wrong? WINTER TALES OF $TORM AND SUFFERING THAT ARE NOTEWORTHY. MAN COMES TO LTJ?E Strenuous Work of Life Savers— Hunter Had a Narrow Escapo-r- Chascd By Wolves—An Isolated Town. Meeting a tragic death in the woods by freezing came near being the fate of "Corporal" Gustafson, a woodsman employed near Granite luff, Dickinson county. The fact that the man survived his harrowing experience was due only to the timely arrival of fellow- workers and the heroic methods of resuscitation to which the rescuers resorted. Gustafson was discovered in a standing posture, leaning against a pile of ties alongside the railroad track. His hands were clasped and bis head was resting on his arms. An empty whisky flask lay nearby in the snow. When the men spoke, Gustafsou failed to answer. The rescuers gave him up for dead and removed his apparently lifeless form to the camp, whence a message was sent to Iron Mountain for an undertaker. Wbeu the latter arrived, Gustafson had been thawed out after two men had worked over him all day, applying snow and kerosene oil. He was removed to a hospital, and the morgue hud beeu cheated of a victim. i • 'i i » • ' 11"» ' • , • • — « * — • » • • • 8TATfiN1tWSIN The Taste of Tin. A man may live in the city and buy. a squash and eat it. That is all he can do with a boughten squash, for a squash that he cannot raise he cannot store, nor take delight in outside of a pie. And can a man live where his garden is a grocery; his storehouse a grocery; his bins, cribs, mows and attics so many pasteboard boxes, bottles and tin cans? Tinned squash in pie may taste like any squash pie, but it is no longer squaBh, and is a squash nothing if not pie? Oh, but he gets a lithograph squash upon the can to show him how the pulp looked or God made it. This is a sop to his higher sensibility , writes Dallas Lore Sharp in the Atlantic; it is a commercial reminder, too, that life even in the city *>feo»M be more than pie—it is also UM eoBimercial way of preserving the flavor of the canned squash, else he would not know whether he were eating squash or pumpkin or sweet potato. But then it makes little difference, all things taste the same in the city—all taste of tin. That Cupid is fully up-to-date is attested by a marriage just reported. The brldegrom is the manager of a 4&rge telephone company and the bride was lately chief operator In one of the offices.

Lying for hours in a snow bank with a terrible gunshot wound in his leg was the experience which Daniel Currj% aged 22 years, passed through and which may result in the amputation of his leg. When he was rescued by other members of a hunting party he was with, he had lost a good deal of blood. Had the discovery of his condition been made later he would have died. Curry went with the party to shoot squirrels in a deep wnods between Standish and Sterling1. They parted early this muruiug. and Curry started for a section of the woods, where he believed the animals to bo abundant. It is thought that while climbing over a fallen log the trigger of his weapon caught. The shot entered the fleshy part of bis leg between the hip and the knee. When discovered he was lying on his side, partly covered by a light fall of snow, and the wound was exposed to the weather. His body was numb and the blood in the wound was frozen, it is this fact that undoubtedly saved his life. He was carried to Sterling, where h^ is in a serious condition. Wolves Were Fierce. Kdward S. AVise, l>ook keeper for the Noble-(forwin Lumber Co., of Ontonagon, had a terrorizing experience while driving to the company's camp, southwest, of Ontonagon, a few nights ago, when he was pursued by a pack of wolves, which only gave up the chase when the light of the camp was in sight. Mr. Wise was taking a supply of fresh meat to ihe camp and when a short distance out. was surrounded by a howling pack of. largo timber wolves. Having no weapons along, Mr. Wise urged his team forward, hoping tbe wolves would abandon the chase, but they continued to surround the team for some miles, until the close proximity of the camp caused them to lose interest in the rig and its contents. Mr. Wise did not get over the shock for many hours, A Deserted Village. Forsaken of all save the caretaker appointed by the receivers, the village of Marlborough, the million-dollar plant of the Great, Northern Portland Cement Co., and thousands of acres of land will be sold under the hammer March 3. Whether the village will again become the habitat of several hundred busy breadwinners and their families or whether it will be torn down and moved piecemeal to some other site is now unknown. The failure of the town and the big concern which promoted it was due to innovations in the manufacture of Portland cement which followed directly on the building -anti opening of the magnificent plant, and to the fact that, the raw material was unsuited to the wet process which the plant was built to use. The cost of changing the entire system and the expense of securing rock for the dry process were too great for the capitalization of the company and the plant was closed. With the passing of their only means of support the residents of the village drifted to other fields of activity and the windows were boarded up and the place became truly a deserted village. Blockade Broken. Five locomotives, driving one of the largest, snowplows on the Pere Marquette, arrived in Harbor Beach Saturday, the first semblance of a railroad train that had come in for five days. Shortly after the arrival of the plow, the train which arrived Tuesday afternoon, was sent out, toward Port Huron. Many traveling men who had been in the village all the week were passengers. The line between Harbor Beach and Palms was covered with manv drifts some 12 feet deep. tlnue ^uevjpay (caj" *n,4 ,P*y \W*W, *? check*, . ; _ , ....," i i ( , ,,. . , T b i r t y ^ u r , , ^ « r » ^ WW** cremated in a fin? wW^h ^pitxpyefi, ^ . ^ a * ! 1 1 * stable.

Instead of adojurnlng sine die the convention adjourned until March 3, but further business was suspended and all employes discharged except those on ihe secretary's staff, and the latter will continue on the pay roll until that time. During the interim they will be kept busy getting the addresses ready for mailing. There were several reasons for adjourning with date. A contract had been made with the stenographers, giving them $1,200 additional to make an index of the debates. The auditorgeneral refused to pay this on the advice of the attorney-general's department, where it was held that the convention had no right to contract debts beyond the life of the convention. Then Secretary Kind's friends got busy and he was % Med $750 addittonal compensation, which was put in the form of a contract, so as to give him a claim against ihe state. Although the convention decided to submit the revision in the fall instead of at the Bprlng election the committee on permanent organization recommended that action be taken to secure a judicial decision from the supreme court as to the right of the convention to act independently of the legislative enactment. To bring this about a provision was added to the schedule ordering the secretary of state to forthwith notify tiie sheriffs of the various counties of the submission of the revision at the fall election. By agreement they will refuse to do this and aii order to show cause will be asked for. The matter was placed in charge of a subcommittee consisting of Delegates Campbell, Pratt, A. L. Moore, Gore and Wykes. Tbe order to show cause will be secured from the supreme court and the matter will be heard Thursday, so that a decision can be had in plenty of time, In the event that the court holds against the convention, Delegate Kykes will propare the case for the convention. If the convention, wins, the result will mean that it has authority to vote money to whomsoever it pleases ad libitum and the claims of the secretary and official stenographer will be presented to the state board of auditors for payment. As a matter of fact the continuation of the convention and the payment of extra compensation ia nothing more than a species of pettty graft that the state has been subjected to for many years through the manipulation of the legislature. There is absolutely no need for an index to the journal, and tho indexing of the debates should have been made a part of the original contract with the official stenographer, who has received $500 a week for tho work, Who Is the Liar? The scandal in the committee on naval affairs of the house over the rejection of Ihe administration's naval program for more battleships and a voluntary increase of four submarines, followed so speedily by the demand of Representative Lilly (Rep. Conn.) for an investigation, threatens to turn the lower branch of congress upside down. It reached the "you're a liar" stage Saturday, Representative Lilly being placed in hot water because of published reports that he had charged the Electric Boat Co., of New Jersey, with having "fixed" both the Republican and Democratic congressional committees. He got it from Demo- Chairman Griggs and Republican Chairman Sherman, and passed it on to several newspaper men with interest and all kinds of vituperative flourishes. Lilley denies that, he made any charges against, the chairman and in their presence accused a correspondent with having "maliciously lied." Griggs accepted the explanation in bad spirit. "Suffice it to say," he exclaimed, "that either the person who wrote the charge or said it is a common liar." Sherman declared that, if Lilley said what, has been attributed to him he was "a mendacious liar." but he said he felt, sure that Lilley would not say any such thing. After a conference with Speaker Cannon, Lilley announced that he had agreed to put his charges against the. submarine company into writing at. an early date and submit, it to the committee on rules, which has the matter under considration.

"Is the story true t h a t tribute is beinj-' collected from gambling joints and immoral places in this city."

Daunt, manager of a Bay City theater, was acquitted on the charge of keeping his amusement house open on Sunday. The case was tried nude, the new ordinance prohibiting the opening of theaters on Sunday and was made a test case. His attorney attacked the legality of the ordinance. The fact that there wus but one witness to swear the theater was open leaves the test up in the air.

She tells her story and in cared .tor by Mrs. Friable. Journey of T<YiaWe's party into woods to visit father of Mrs. Friable, an old hermit, who has resided in the wilderness for many yeur». When camp is broken Chip and Kay occupy same canoe. The p a r t y reach camp of Mrs. Frisbie'g father and are welcomed' o'y lilm and Cy Walker, an old friend and former townsman of the hermit. They nettle down for summer's stay. Chip and Ray are in love, but no one realises this but Cy Walker. Strange <'anot5 marks found on lake shore In front ot their cabin. Strange smoke is seen acrosa the lake. Martin a n d Levi leave for settlement to get officers to arrest McGuire, who is known a s outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods friend, Tomah, un Indian, visits camp. Ray believes he sees a bear on the ridge. <"hlp is stolen by Peto Bolduc who escapes with her in a canoe. Chip is rescued by Martin and Levi a s they are returning from the settlement. Bolduc escapes. Old Cy proposes t o - R a y that he remain in the woods with himself and Amzt and trap during the winter, and lie concludes to do so. Others of the party return to Greenvale, taking Chip with them.. Chip starts to school in Greenvale, and lirids life unpleasant at Aunt Comfort's, made KU especially by Hannah. Old Cy and Ray discover strange tracks in tho wilderness. They penetrate further into the wilderness and discover the hiding place of the man who had been sneaking about their cabin. They investigate the cave home of McGuire during his absence. Bolduc finds McGuire anil flic two fight to the death, finding a watery grave together. Ray returns to Greenvale and finds Chip waiting for him. K;iy wants Chip to return to the woods with them, but she, feeling that the old comradeship with Ruy has been broken, refuses. \\ ben tin y part, however, it is a.s lovers. Chip runs away from Aunt Comfort's and finds another home with Judson Walker. She gives her name as Vera Raymond. Aunt Abby, Aunt Mandy Walker's sister, visits them, and takes Chip home with her to Christmas Cove. Chip goes to school at Christinas Cove. She tells Aunt Abby the story of lu-r life. Aunt Abby tells her of their family, and she discovers that Cy Walker Is a long-lost brother of .ludson Walker, but fear of betraying her hhitfig place prevents her telling of Cy. old Cy investigates'McGuire'B cave in the wilderness and finds a fortune that belongs lo Chip, Old Cy returns to the wilderness r-amp with the news that Chip had disappeurinl and proposes to start out to find her. He turns over to Martin a bank book showing a deposit of $60,000 in Chip's name. Chip returns to the homo of Judson Walker at Peaceful Valley for a rummer vacation. Chip tolls .ludson of Cy nml writes a note to Martin which discloses her hiding place. Martin immediately visits the Walkers. He gives Chip her money and asks if ho shall send Ray lo ht^r, but she says no. Aunt Abby's husband dies. Chip asks Martin to find Cy who is seeking the country over for her. He had been a youthful lover of Aunt Abby, and was supposed to have bren lost at sen. Ray wants to go to Chip, but Martin advises him not to. Chip receives a letter from Ray, asking forgiveness for seeming slight and neglect. ieH.UiidUhe 4k*n**rt*at boyUsJin, had ciMMgM} into a tirehip. Then, feo. an un- " Interest In bU ambition •It D/ those who helped. They knew wjkat he was striving for, and that Chip was the ultimate object. Her history, know* a* it now was to all who came into-the wilderness, in* flaftneed the woodsmen. She had been of them and-from then?, and as-an entire village will gather to help at a house-raising, so these three, Levi and the two helpers, now felt the same incentive. Success usually comes to all who strive for it, and now, with four willing workers to aid him, Kay was rapidly making a success of this venture. Old Cy, the most valuable assistant, was indefatigable. He not only kept the larder well supplied with game, bnt tended and set traps, worked in the woods with the rest between times, and his cheerful optimism and droll humor bridged many a stormy day and shortened many a weary tramp. And he seemed to grow younger in this new, helpful life for others. His eyes were bright, his step elastic, his spirits buoyant, his strength tireless. With Chip safe and provided for, with Ray succeeding in manhood's natural ambition, Old Cy saw his heart's best hopes nearing fruition, and for t h e s e two and in these two all his interest centered. Only once was the bond of feeling between Ray and Chip referred to by Old Cy, and then in response to a wish of Ray's t h a t he might bear from her. "I don't think ye've cause to worry now, arter ye've sent her word what ye're doin* "n' who for," he answered. "Chip's true blue, not one o' the fickle sort, 'n' once she keers„fer a man, she won't give him up till he's married or dead. I think ye'd orter sent her word sooner,—ye know she run 'way out o' spunk,—but when ye go to her like a man n' say, 'I've been workin' 'n' waltln' fer ye all the time,' thar won't be no quarrelin'." "I'm not so sure about that," responded Ray, soberly. "From what Uncle Martin said, my chance is gone CHAPTER XXXI.—Continued. That evening was one that none who Trere in that wildwood camp ever forgot, for Old Cy was the central figure, and told as only he could the story of his year's wandering in search of Chip. It was humorous, pathetic and tragic all in one, and a tale that held its listeners spellbound for three delightful hours. "I had dogs set on me, hundreds on 'em," Old Cy said, in conclusion, "an' I never knew afore how many kinds V sizes o' dogs thar was in this world. I uster think thar warn't more'n two dozen or so kinds. I know now thar's two million 'n' a few more 1 didn't wait to c o u n t I got 'rested a few times on account o' not havin' visible means o' support. I've been hauled over the coals by doctors tryin' to make me out a lunatic, 'n' I'd 'a' done time in jail if I hadn't had money to show. I tell ye, boys, this is an awful 'spicinus world fer strangers, 'n' the milk o' human kindness is mostly old cheese, 'n' all rind at. that. I had *, little fun, too, mixed in with all the • o u b l e , 'n' one woman who owned a plaoe where I 'plied for lodgin' jest •'bout told me she'd be willln' to marry me if I'd stay 'n' work the farm. She had red hair, hard eyes, 'n' bossy sort »' ways, an' that's a dangerous combination. -I watched my chanqe when she wa'n't lookin', 'n' lit out middlin' I lively." j And now life at this wilderness ! camp, less restrained than when womankind were here, became one of work, and persistent, steady, nf» time-wasted work at that. Martin had sa|d that Levi could boss 'matters, but it was Ray who assumed management • instead. • Two years had changed* him ill almost from D07 to man. ^ l i new .mes^t.^o^e^Fif^ bjy^^ was ntver a wprd ambition?" was. tine controlling power, that Hfeinight mean fwr him, bat made Jh^BJtype tot make bis/narfc, t i l t jhJm realize that aJt-pouible striving and telf«4«ni«lwtft be made 4¾ atone meat. With whom and what sort of people Chip had found asylum, he knew not. What influence they would have upon her feeifnga was ar-equaiiy unknown matter; and worse than that, the ogre o! another suitor for Chip's favor now entered Ray's calculation*, and the ilang truism, "There are others," was with him every waking moment—a much-deserved punishment, all womankind will say. Visited a Strange Romantic Grotto Up in the Mountains. with Miss Chip, and I don't blame her fov feeling so. Like every young fellow, I' took it for granted that she was in love with me and ready to fall into my arms on call. Then I hadn't any plans in life, anyway, and, like a fool, believed it made no difference to her. To mix matters up still more, Hannah crowded herself into our affairs and said things to Chip, with the result that Chip got mad, ran away, and you know the rest." "Wal," asserted Old Cy, his eyes twinkling, "the time to hug a gal is when she's wlllin,' 'n' ye orter spunked up that night 'fore ye come away 'n' told her ye was callatin' to make yer fortin' in the woods, an' that ye'wanted her to wait 'n' share it—then troubles, ' n \ if need be she'd 'a' starved fer ye. I tell ye, boy, wimmin like her is scarce in this world, 'n' when ye hugged 'n' kissed her a little more by way o' bindin' the bargain, an —knowin' that gal ez I do, she'd fought Hannah, tooth V nail, 'n' walked threugh fire 'n' brimstun fer ye. I think, stead o' hidin' herself fer two years, an' changin' h e r name, she'd 'a' tramped clear to Grindstone jest to tell ye her find one young 'n' pretty ez she is, hang on to her an' hang hard." "I know it now well enough," returned Ray, ruefully; "but that don't help matters. Then that fortune you found for her makes my case all tho worse, and Chip quite independent." "It do, it do," chuckled Old Cy, as if glad of it, "an' all the more need o • ynu hustlin'. It's a case o' woodchuck with ye now. Hut don't git discouraged, .lest dig. Chip's worth it, ten times over, 'n' no man ever worked to win a woman 'thout bcin' bettered bv it." It was terse and homely advlre, and not only convinced Ray that he had neglected one whom he now felt CHAPTER XXXII. O n e day while £ u n t Abby and Chip were enjoying the newly furnished home of Uncle Jud, a capacious carriage drawn by a handsome pair of horses halted there and Martin and Angle alighted. "We are taking a cross-country drive for an outing," he explained, after Angle had kissed Chip tenderly and greetings had been exchanged. "We have waited for you. Miss Runaway, to come and visit us," he added, turning to Chip, "until we couldn't wait any longer and BO came to look for you. We have alBo some news that may interest you. Old Cy has been heard from at last. He spent a year looking for you. He has now gone into the woods, to my camp, where Ray located for the winter, and when spring comes, 1 can guess where they will head for." How welcome this news was to Chip, her face fully indicated; but neither Martin iior Angle realized how much or for what reason it interested this soft-voiced, gracious lady whom Chip called Aunt Abby. They knew Uncle Jud was Old Cy s brother and that they had once been sailors from Bayport, but the long-ago romance of Aunt Abby's life was unknown to them. And now ensued a welcome to the callers such as only Uncle Jud nnd Aunt Mandy could offer. "We sorter feel we robbed ye o' Vera," Uncle Jud explained, "though 'twa'n't any intention on our part, an' so ye must gin us some chance to make amends. We callate 'twa'n't no fault o' yourn, either, only one o' them happenin's that was luck for us." That evening was one long to be remembered by all who were present, for Chip's history, as told by Martin and Angie, was the entertaining topic, and its humorous side was made the most of by Martin. Chip was in no wise annoyed by Martin's fun-making, either. Instead, conscious of the good-will and affection of the friends who had rescued her from the wilderness, she rather enjoyed it and laughed heartily at Martin's description of various incidents, especially her first appearance i;i their camp, and the language she used. "I couldn't help swearing," she explained, "i never had heard much except 'cuss' words. I think also now, as I recall my life at Tim's Place, 1 would never have dared that desperate mode of escape had I not been hardened by such a life, i wish I could see Old Tomah once more," she added musingly, "and I'd like to sgnd him some gift. He was the best-hearted Indian I ever saw or heard of, and his queer teachings about spites and how they rewarded us for good deeds and punished ns for evil ones was no harm, for it set me thinking. The one thought that encouraged me most riming those awful days and nights alone in the woods was the belief that among the spites which I was sure followed me was my mother's soul. I've never changed in my belief, either, and shall always feel that she guided me to your camp." Uncle Jud also obtained his share of fun at Chip's expense, describing his finding of her with humorous additions. "She was all beat out that night I found her on top o' Rangall hill, 'n' yet when I asked her if she'd run away from some poor farm, she was ready to claw my eyes out, an' dunno's I blame her. I was innocent, too, fer I really s'posed she had." Martin's visit at this hospitable home was not allowed to terminate for a week, for visitors seldom came here, and Uncle Jud, as big a boy as his brother when the chance came, planned all sorts of trips and outings, to entertain them, and quite characteristic affairs they were, too. One day they drove to a wood-bordered pond far up the valley, fished a few hours for pickerel and perch, and had a fish fry and picnic dinner. The next day they visited a strange, romantic grotto up in the mountains, known as the Wolf's Den, and here a table was set, broiled chicken, sweet corn, and such toothsome fare formed the meal, with nut-gathering for amusement. Squirrel and partridge shooting also furnished Martin a little excitement. When he and Angie insisted that, they must leave, both host, and hostess' showed genuine regret. A few remarks made by Angie to her former protege, in private, the last evening j of this visit, may be quoted. "I must insist, my dear child," she said, "that you make us a visit in the near future. You left us under au en- tirely false impression and it has grieved me more than you can imtruth in anyfhinji that Hannah said She waa apitdflil flM m C i e f o i * apd deelred to gel -even - with you few a bjy%tet]|*4 pf4d#« W«JMid no thought c^arrying-aspjaj^fo the woods to separate ypu and jiay for any reason whatever.' ' Of course, as you must know, I had no suspicion of any at tachment between you, and if 1 had, I certainly should not have tried to break it off In that way. That is a matter that concerns, only you and him. My own life experience shows that first love is the wisest and best, and while you were both too young . then for an engagement, you must believe me when I tell you that 1 bad no wish to interfere." And so the breach was healed. This visit of the Frisbies to Peaceful Valley also awakened something of repentance in Chip's mind, and more mature now, it occurred to her that leaving Greenvale as she did, was, after all. childish. Then Angle's part in this drama of her life now returned to Chip iu a new light. Once she began to reflect, her self-accusation grew apaee and her repentance as well. Now she began to see herself as she was at Tim's Place. "I think I treated my Greenvale friends very ungratefully," she said to Aunt Abby one evening after they had returned to Christmas Cove once more, "and what Mrs. Frisbie said to me has made me realize It. I know now that few would have done what she did for me. I was an ignorant, dirty, homeless creature and no relation of hers, and yet she took charge of me, bought me clothes, paid all my expenses going to Greenvale, clothed me there, and always treated me nicely without my even asking for it. "The Fiisbies certainly nc some risk by keeping me at their eatnf, when they knew t h a t half-breed was after me. I don't know why they should have done all this. I was nothing to them. And yet when I recall the night I stumbled into their camp, bow Mrs. Frisbie dressed me in her own clothes, shared her tent with me, and even prayed for me, I feel ashamed to think of what I have done. 1 did think that Mrs. Frisbie despised me from what Hannah said. I know now that I was wrong, and running away as I did, was very ungrateful." "I think it was, myself," responded Aunt Abby, "and yet believing as you did, Mrs. Frisbie ought not to blame you. I don't think she does, either. She seems a very sensible woman, and I like her. You made your mistake in not confiding in her more. You should have gone to her as you. would to a mother, in the first place, and told her just what Hannah had said to you and how you fell about it. To brood over such matters and imagine the worst possible, is unwise in any one. I think from what you have told me, that this person who sneered against you so much musi have had a spito against you." "Hannah was jealous, I know," Chip interrupted, smiling at the recollection, "and I hurt her feelings because I asked her why she didn't shave." "Didn't shave!" exclaimed Aunt Abby, wide-eyed; "what do >i>;: mean :'' "Why, she has whiskers, you see," laughed Chip, "almost a3 much ns some men—a nice little mustache and some on. her chin. I told her the next day after T got there I thought she was a man dressed as a woman. I snickered, too, I remembor, when I said it, for she looked so comical— like a goat, almost—and then I asked her why she didn't shave. I guess she laid it up against me ever after." "She revenged herself amply, it seems," answered Aunt Abby. When Christmas neared, and with it. a vacation for Chip, new impulses came to her: a desire to visit Greenvale once more and make amends as best she could to her friends there: and her gift-giving desire was quickened by the coming holidays. She now felt that she had ample means to gratify this latter wish. Day by day, since meeting Angle again, her sense of obligation had increased, and now it was in her power at Christmas-tide tc repay at least a little of the debt. Others were also included in this generous project: Uncle Jud, Aunt Mandy, her foster-mother. Aunt Abby, as well; and then there was Old Cy, whom most of all she now desired to make glad. That was impossible, however. He was still an absent wanderer, and so, as it ever is and ever will be, some thread of regret, some note of sorrow, must be woven into all joys.

An authorized announcement is made that "a pioee of the Blarney stone is in New York and will he ex* hiblted dnrinr this week." Only a few days ago I had occasion to speak to a friend who sent a relative in the weBt a "Just an good" piece of Plymouth rock, says Julius Chambers in the Brooklyn Eagle. The last time I was returning to this country on a Cunard steamship we found that the London mails were six hours late at Queenstown and a friend of one of the passengers, having a very fast yacht, had come down from Cork to say good-by. As the voyager happened to be known to me, I was asked to form one of a small party to run up to Cork, where automobiles, not jaunting cars, would take us to Blarney castle, about five miles northwest of Cork. We were guaranteed a sure return to the Cedric before she sailed and 1, with three others, took the chance of losing our passage money. Therefore, my knowledge of Queenstown harbor, the mails, a hasty drink at the Queen's hotel, a chat with the always pretty barmaids—all of whom recoguized me as a friend of the beautiful "TotUe'' Fitzgerald, who had introduced her American millionaire husband to her, Mr. Dupont—a mile's trot in a jaunting car. and a return to the ship with a handful of green shamrock. But this time everything was different. The Corkonian millionaire's steam yacht carried us swift as an arrow up the eight miles of bay—it appeared ta be about the same distance as from St. George to Whitehall street—to Cork. We landed near the spot where Cromwell set \tp his flag and Marlborough went ashore in 1690. The autos were in waiting and the five or six miles to Blarney castle were run in a few minutes after we got disentangled from the narrow streets and the swarming children. Cork is a city of 76,000 people and race suicide isn't chargeable to any of the families, as well as a hasty glance would entitle me to judge. Bjp-rney castle wasn't finished in the Cromwell days, in all likelihood. It isn't much of a "castle" to anybody who has seen the real thing at Stirling or half a dozen places that might be mentioned. I. consists chiefly of one tower, wi:h wings. In the wall of the facade, about 20 feet from the top, or. at a guess, 45 feet from the ground, a stone about the size of a bushel basket protrudes. it ia the real "Blarney stone!" 0 } fftr as I can imagine, only such persons as have been lowered in "boatswain's chairs" and the wild birds ever have actually kissed it. Yet, I have had to sit and listen |fiv many beautiful and truthful (?) WOS»> en tell how they knelt to kiss tftje Blnrney stone. I understand exactly wbr.t they meant. They didn't,kjiow the real from the imposition. The little village! of Blarney has nothing to commend it to the attention of travelers except this castle. Therefore, a "just a« good" Blarney stone has been placed in the courtyard of the castle and for a trifling matter of sixpence you and I may go into its sacred presence and press our lips upon its rough, clammy surface. It isn't worth the money, because one isn't, getting that for which he or she bargained. The rock is high in the wall, and any other Blarney stone is much the same as a duplicate of Plymouth Rock would be, set up in Riverside Park or Bowling Green. The castle was built by the Cr-.imack McCarthy about IMS, or three years before Cromwell sli tered the Irishmen oi the place. Not Altogether Intuitive. The French newspapers related the ot^er day that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle arrived at. Paris from Marseilles and Lyons. The cabman who brought him from the station to the hotel addressed him by his name. Sir Arthur was surprised and asked how he knew. The cabman replied that he had read in the paper that the famous Conan j Doyle would come to Marseilles | Ly>ns, and he had observed at that the stranger's hair was dut;J» a Marseilles barber, and that oa. the heel of his left shoe was dirt froni Lyons. The novelist, was highly gratified to see that, his "Sherlock Holmes" method proved so successful. The great detective mind then asked whether tti ^re was still another symptom which had led to Ins recognition. "Yes," said the cabman, finally, "your full name is painted on your trunk!"

To do this you must take a natural digestant like Kodol.

Another year hat almost com* and gone since gur last Village flection, aud I deein it just and proper to make a bhort statement iti regard to our village affairs duithe past year. Que year itgo we were in debt tu t h e amount of about $2100.00. This was incurred in building; our sidewalks the year before, and in cousevuence t h e council very wisely decided to delay any extra expanse until the larger portion of this indebtedness should be paid. The property holders, whose property lies adjoining those old board sidewalks hove patiently suffered touch inconvenience on account of our decision of no new walks for 1!I07. but they have been promised that this would remedied the coming season UH)N. Of this indebtedness we have puid nearly $1.401).00 leaving, as yon can see, $700 with some interest that bus occrued since last fall. Besides this we have paid all running expenses which have been somewhat heavy iu our snow blockade during the winter. 1 consider the village in very good condition and well titled to go on a n d make other necessary improvements and let me say rigid here that when a new President and our new Council are elected that 1 would like to offer as a citizen aud taxpayer a few suggestions iu regard to our Cement sidewalks that are to be made and those that haye already been made. I think we should have cement walks oh the following streets: From the Sanitarinni East to Dexter corners, from the Hotel west to the east line of Jacob Bowers lot, the East and North sides of George Hicks and E. W. Kennedys lots, also from Thos. Shehans to Eugene Campbells corners. All board walks on North side of Uuadilla stueet should be replaced with cement. This will make about fourteen blocks. In regard to letting this my idea would be to have specifications drawn, fulfilling all requirements; width of walk, thickness of grout, thickness of finish on top, proportion of sand and cement, etc. Advertise in the paper for sealed bids to be sent to the President up to a specified time, reserving the right to reject any or all bids if the council thought proper to do so, keeping within their hands the full control of the building of all our sidewalks. T h e i appointment of the street Commissioner or some other suitable man as inspector and that all work done should be under his personal supervision, said inspector under the control of the village Council and report to same of work done at each meeting of the Council. This man can nlso work helping on the sidewalk and the extra expense will be hut very little. There are parts of our sidewalks built in I'.IOli I think considering the price paid is certainly a discredit to our village, especially so from Ueorge Hicks to the depot, and between Stephen Teeple's and Kloyd .Jackson's. It looks to me, as one heavy taxpayer has said, instead of six to one about sixteen to one. Now why cant we have such sidewalks as there are in front of P i . Siglers, or in front of Frank .Johnsons, E. R. Browns or Ruben Finch's, or in front of Catholic church and residence. I certainly think such walks mentioned in the latter case is worth ten cents a foot better than the former is worth five. Now I feel it my duty ns a citizen and my right as a takpayer to make those sugj gestions and criticisms. ! I perhaps have taken more interest in [our streets and in our walks under the circumstances than many of the other citizens land 1 am satisfied that everv taxpayer will agree with me in what I have mentioned, • and also that the township of Putnam | should be requested to build cement sidewalks from the brick store to the town hall.

Y . at the farmers institute a t Howell a week ago, in regard to the school officers of the county forming an organization an meeting with the institute once each year would be a good one if it could be c a n i e d out, but how many of the members of the boards all over the county would take enough interest in the matter to attend? Too mauy of the present school boards do not even have time to give the attention needed to secure the right kind of a teacher. The usual run of them ask the teacher the following questions: Have you tt certificate? What grade? Did you attend the summer college? Did yuu attend the teauhere' institute? What is the LOWEST price you will take fur nine wonthti? If there is to be an organization of school boards, should it not be as incumbent upon the members of such boards throughout the county to attend the meetings of tnat organization as upon the teacher to attend the summer schools and institutes? and then should the teacher not have the privilege to ask such boards questions, and expect answers to questions, something like this? Were you.ever a teacher? If not did you ever pate the eighth grade? Did you attend the last meeting <>f the county school board? What wages are you willing to pay a teacher who has spent two montfiH salary in attending the summer school, county institute and state teachers' association? Is the school house as good a building as the one you house your stock in? There is a demand for bettor teachers and that is right, but tnere is also much needed in this as well as other counties, school boards who have more interest in the education of the pupils than to hire the cheapest teacher they can and then never attend to see if that teacher is doing anything or not to earn the little they do get.

He stppd between the children—a boy and a girl—leaning on a fence in the park. In age he looked about ^40, of distinguished appearance—soldjerlike; and he gave me the inipreBBton of being one of those who is iu comjjlete Bympathy with the? yoi*ng. Kven before I heard his soft, earnest voice I W98 convinced of thiB; for the boy constantly regarded him affectionately out of great, grave eyes, and the girl had an unconscious habit of slipping her tiny hand into hie. "Yes, I remember," he repeated. "'The Ibex is one of those things that wears a clothes-basket and slags; and the noise that it makes is the cause of earthquakes—an effect that it constantly brings." He made the whimsical statement with a sincerity of tone that would have been convincing to the least )0 & 7 i '3W -J They Moved On. imaginative of juvenile minds*. Here, he"Vai" evidently appealing to ideally sympathetic ones, The boy gave a jQMt! c:f comprehension. "Like at San Francisco. The Ibexes must have sung very loud, though." "Bassoon playing had something to do with it," said the man, admirably concealing every vestige of cynicism. "There was a mare—" He paused. I felt sure he was a born story-teller and was with difficulty controlling a propensity to wander into fantastic by-paths. "What became of the clothesbasket ?" inquired the girl. "1 think they were taken to the .Japanese laundry, and used as schoolrooms for the children," he answered. "Or swallowed up when the earth opened," suggested the boy. "Yes. It's very sad tq) see the poor creatures without anything on,'1 admitted the man. 'TfOVOf*mhad, they'll soon be measure* for tow Ones," sympathised the S t r i c t t t o ^ s t f l i t s hand. Tsilf «a|UF#tli>ii,stopping at an enclosure a/Tittle way off. "You like the goats," she urged- "They're so silky and tame." "Yes," he agreed. "But they get fractious sometimes." "Fractious means broken, doesn't it?" asked the boy. "Not when you talk about goats," replied the man with decision. "They always come off acot. free. The one I'm Jtig of did." »11 us about him?" cooed the girl. **0#ce," began the man, "a nannywanted a ride, so she sat on a broomstick astride, but. it. started so quick that she fell nff the stick right on a policeman—who died!" "What did they do with him?" wondered the boy. "They buried him—on the hire-sysi «jn," confided the man. •k "X, kaow. In bits. Servo him rffM*" a a w t e d the girl. "Wlsf?" asked the boy with surprise. iS..:. "For gBTtin' in the way," was her ready answer. I don't suppose he did that on purpose," debated-tho boy. "That doesn't matter," said she. "Ho spoilt everything!" m "Spoilt it! How? The man put just the right touch of wonder Into the question. It showed what he could do in the way of stimulating the childish mind. I envied him the gift. "Why," explained the girl, "if the policeman hadn't got in the way, think how the goat would have bounced!" "True," mused the man. "I never thought of that." I was not near enough to catch the fanciful things that passed between the trio for some time after this; but ln the marsupial section I managed to get within hearing distance again. The boy was speaking. "When he sits up like that he looks like a hanson cab." "That reminds me," rejoined the man. "A very large male kangaroo had a pouch that was licensed for two; and, once, for a fare, he'd a tortoise and hare. This really once happened—it's true!" The boy pondered the circumstance for awhile. "I thought it was only the mothers who had pouches," he hazarded. "The one I'm speaking of had all the latest improvements," ventured the man. "1 know," nodded the girl. "He was a taxameter!" "Of course, the tortoise won," declared the boy. "No," confessed the man. "The race had to be declared off because the kangaroo skidded." "It must have been a very expensive ride," commeuted the girl. "I think it was only a trial inn," .said the man. In the Elephant house ha must have made up something more than usually grotesque, because the discussion that ensued between the children was particularly lively. Hut there, as well, as in the Lion house, on account of the people and the noise, 1 could catch lit tic of iheir talk. When, again, I had the opportunity of listening it wuS in the comparative solitude of the Zebra yards. They were manifesting extreme interest in the Quaggas. They were soldiers once," the man was saying. "Of course; look at their stripefe," quoth the boy. The girl began spelling out the de scriptivo notice that is affixed to the fence. "From South Africa!" she exclaimed. "Where they in the war?" "Yes, in the transport department," rejoined the man. "It happened near the Vaal." "Please go on," was urged.

"No—District Court Marshal," cor rectod the man, "Poor thing!" murmured the girl "And now he's te iagor." "Oh, no," objected the man. "Tale la the lower House, yoo kaow. He was elected to It by Het Volk, and—" The Quagga raised his uamuaioal voice. "He's speaking now. Hush!" ad moniahed the man. "Politics?" whispered the boy. "Yes—suffragettes!" adventured the girl. Then she said something about "Home," and they went off at a brisk pace. As I strolled In their wake I felt grateful for the glimpse I had had of the devotion which childhood can inspire in the heart of a grown man; of the magic sensibility that enables the adult mind to see things with the eyes of youth. The afternoon was drawing in, and the people were streaming through the gateway when I reached it. As I mingled with them on my way out there was a touch upon my arm and, turning, I looked down into the uplifted eyes of the girl. Such pleading eyes, each with a tear trembling on the long lashes. By her side was the boy looking deeply concerned. "PleaBe, please, help us to And father!" she implored. "We've lost him!' She saw at once that I was ready to obey her, and, putting her han%» in mine, led me away while she poured out her fears for her father's safety. Of personal anxiety there was not a trace. The reason followed quickly. A blow on the head from a Boer rifle while he was defending a wounded comrade had destroyed his reason. Once withdrawn from their protection he was irresponsible—helpless as a child. All day I had been laboring under a delusion. The man was their charge, not they his. It was they who had been endeavoring to stimulate his fanciful imagination, and so provide him with entertainment; and I had been deceived by his unconscious humor. When we found him wandering about aimlessly, as we did within five minutes, the girl's relief was intense. • My darling!" she sobbed, trying to get her Hmall arms round him. "My poor dear!" He showed no feeling at the re< union, made no remark; merely fell into step between his small protectors, and left the gardens with one of them on either side guarding him tenderly.

A lady writer who not only has done Rood literary work, but reared a family, found in Grape-Nuts the ideal food for brain work and to develop healthy children. She writes:— "Lam an enthusiastic proelaimer of Grape-Nuts as a regular diet. I formerly had no appetite in the morning and for 8 yeara while nursing my fourchildren, had Insufficient nourishment for them. "Unable to eat breakfast I felt faint later, and would go to the pantry and eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, doughnuts or anything I happened to find. Being a writer, at times my head felt heavy and my brain asleep. -"When I read of <Jrape-Nuts I began eating It every morning, also gave it j j t the children, including, my 10 Months old baby, who soon grew as a» a>< litle pig, good natured and tented. •Within a week I had plenty of ast"mllk', and felt stronger within HQo week*. - I wrote evenings and feeling the need of sustained brain power, began eating & small saucer of Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my usual Indigestible hot pudding, pie, or cake for dessert at night. "Grape-Nuts did wonders for me and I learned to like It. I did not mind my housework or mother's cares, for I felt strong and fuH of 'go.' t grew plump, nerves strong, and when I wrote my brain was active and clear; ladeed, the dull head pain never returned." ^ , k . . , , "There's a R«aao&."

Pitz was a mark then for a lot of guying, but the joke was ii serious one, for his left hand was in poultices for six weeks: Animals Without Moral Sense. Prof. Schuster assorts that animals lack moral feeling entirely, none of their acts beiug immoral or moral, in the broad sense, and that they have no trace of a sense-of shame or of honor. Their courage, he declares, is "a mere impulse of nature," and of moral courage they know nothing. He continues: "And animals have no. pride, in the sense of man's conception of ibat quality. They are not proud of their kind, of their kindred, of their individuality. They neither have an Individuality nor are individual. Animals are not proud because they have 10 consciousness of the scope of the value of their kind, of their enterprise or of any other form of their capability; they are neither supercilious, proud, nor the contrary, that is, grieved, wounded or depressed fn re gard to a possible pride." &•, ftff V 3 ;M '.-fc Great Chilean Salt Deposits. The salt deposits of Chile are fhe greatest in the world. The Salar Grande mine in the province of Tarapaca, about 60 miles south and east of Iquique, covers an area of 80,000 acres to the depth of 25 feet. This body of 6alt is nearly pure and contains more than 14,000,000,000 tons, or enough to supply the world's demands for many decades. There are several other deposits in the Interior that cover two or three times the area of the above. Bargains. The Girl—Oh! And is that beautiful ring for me? The Man—I'll sell it to you.

The smartest lunatic who ever escaped from an English asylum seems to be a well-known Hadley man. Wearing a silk hat. and a frock coat, he walked into a"newspaper office in Hadley and, after writing a thrilling story of how to elude the vigilant attendants at the Staffordshire county asylum, asked the editor to publish it. According- to his story he waited for a foggy night and . then, after loosening the sc.ftws in bis cell window, desceiidbrf to" Ine" ground by a rope ladder. He then visited Stockport an4 the poor law oftcera to look over the lunacy law. After learning that a Ihnattc oould not be apprehended after ",,£!. .days of liberation unless a froah-order, should be made out against irim^he gave himself up to unrestrained celebration of the new year.

The weather throughout Western Canada has been remarkably good this year. A telegram from the winter wheat belt of Southern Alberta dated at Cardston, Alberta, January 29th, says: "This winter up to January 25 was nothing short of a marvel, in fact, it was the finest anyone can reniember for twenty-five years though there have been others nearly as good. The days were fine, sunny and warm with ' light frosts at night. Overcoats and ; gloveB, etc., were discarded by most , people in the day time. There was so little frost in the ground that post holes could be dug without any trouble after the first inch was broken through. Winter T/Leat remained fresh and green although there has , been no snow since the September storm. If there is an early spring, wintnr wheat should gain a great start." Amongst the reports of the yield of last year the following extracts are taken: H. Howe, of'Magrath, Alta, writing on November, 1907. says: "I have 70 acres in crop, 50 acres of wheat and ' seven acres of oats. My average yield , of oats was 35 bushels to the acre, ' and of wheat 45 bushels. The value , to me was $35 per acre." \ J. F. Haycock, of Magrath, writes ; in November: "1 had 65 acres in win- | ter wheat, which went 60 bushels to ! the acre: oats averaged 80, bushels. I j also had 12 tons of hay worth $10 , per ton. I got 600 bushels of potatoes from three acres of land; I got | eight tons per acre from five acres of sugar beet." i J. F. hradshaw, of Magrath, had l,08fF acres of winter wheat last year i which averaged 39½ bushels to the • acre. The value of his farm products per acre was: Wheat, $31.60; oats, $11.20 and barley, $25.15. ' Three Alarming Symptoms. Physician—Madam. I ran find no Iraces of disease ki this boy of yours.

Leo Helnrich was shot and killed by Guiaeppe Quarnaceto, an anarchist and priest-hater, white the priest w*J» administering the sacrament at «arjj mass in St. RfttabetaV ftomaV Catholic churoh, in Denver, on Sunday. Kneeling at the altar rail, between two women, Guarnaccto pressed the muzzle of a revolver against the body of the priest, after receiving from him the consecrated wafer, and shot the priest' through the heart. Exclaiming, My God. My God," Fr. Loo fell iu front of the altar and died. In all the 1,900 years of history_pf the Roman Catholic church, members of its priesthood in Denver declare, there is no record of a tragedy to parallel that of the killing; of Fr. Leo while administering the sacrament. This crime, they say, will stand out as one of the most fearful in criminal records and its perpetration may result in the canonization of Fr. Leo as an American martyr of the church, in whose service he fell while performing hip duty. After the shooting, while the priest was falling with the holy vessel tightly clasped in his hand, the assassin sprang into the aisle and waving the smoking pistol about his head, dashed to the church door. A woman shrieked and the congregation became panicstricken. Several women fainted and several others became hysterical. A number of men, including Patrolman Cron:.n, overtook the Italian on the church steps and overpowered him after a desperate struggle. He said he was sorry he could not kill all the priests. The church iu which the killing occurred will have to be reconsecrated before services can be again held in it. The services arc exactly similar to those held when the .church is first opened. The law of the church is thai this reconsecration shall take place following the wilful shedding of anyone's bloud_j;i .the chur«h»--- * -;14 1 Hairy W J ^ ^ ^ A ^ ^ V ^ - TllrW h l T bllla. pyeeealed-to- htar neys f o M h e i r j * e* h i | | was preaen ney "Heabody ha H Th«ir**n«rlly excljirfed: J made "no" bargain to he sent « r Jtaatteawen.-and^flor i s w j v ^ j a t t r a e t aay zeonjly uisif ftget out^ofvere.

At precisely seven o'clock each morning the two landlords appeared simultaneously and banged their gongs. At 12 and six, this was repeated. At eight o'clock the three principal storekeepers usually entered their places of business; at nine, while the academy bell was ringing near by, every village doctor might be seen starting out. At ten exactly, Dwight Uennett, the cashier of the bank, unlocked its front door, and the two hotel 'buses invariably started so nearly together that they met at the first turn going stationward. Even the four church clocks had the same habit, and it was often related that a stranger there, a traveling man, on his first visit, made an amusing discovery.

"Young ludy, sir, u stunner, wants room over night, sir," he announced to the landlord in the office a moment later. "Goin' to Greenvale tovmorrer, she says." On the instant all converse in the offlc^ ceased, and the six constant callers hardly breathed until Sam Gates hastened to the parlor and returned.

And hastily brushing his untidy hair before the office mirror, he left the room again, followed by six envious glances. Then those astonished loafers grouped themselves, the better to observe the passage between parlor and office. Only one Instant sight of this important guest was obtained by them aa Chip emerged from the parlor and followed the landlord upstairs, and then the hushed spell was broken. "By gosh, it's her!" exclaimed one in an awed whisper, "an' Jim was right, she's a stunner!" "What do ye s'pose she's -here for," queried a fourth, "to draw the int'rest on her money, or what?" It was precisely four forty-five when Chip appeared before the judge and jury of all Riverton's happenings. At five forty-five they had agreed that she was the handsomest young lady who had ever set foot in the town, that she must be going to get married soon, and that her mission there was to draw out a few thousand dollars for wedding finery. Then they dispersed, and at six forty-five, when they assembled at the Quaboag again, half of Riverton knew their conclusions, and by bedtime all knew them. By eight-thirty next morning, this all-observant and all-wise clique had. gathered in the hotel office once more, an unusual proceeding, and when Chip tripped out, eight pairs of eyes watched her depart. Then they dispersed. At nine o'clock Chip walked up the stone steps to the bank door, read the legend, "Open from ten a. m. to two p. m.," turned away, and once more resumed her leisurely stroll up and down the street while she peered into store windows. At ten precisely by the four clocks she was back at the bank again, and the cashier lost count of the column he was adding when he saw her enter. \ "I would like $300, it you please, i sir." she said, presenting her little | Miss Phinney book, and he had to count it over four ( changed, and knew it began clanging again, and I counted 44. What sort of time do you trifles,—a fishing-rod for Uncle Jud. a k e e P here> anyway? Do you run your pipe for Martin, gloves for Aunt Abby, and so on. Then as that seemingly vast fortune, now hers to spend, occurred to Chip, and her sense of obligation as well, the intended gifts increased in proportion until a costly picture of some camp or wildwood scene for Angle and a valuable watch for Miss Pninney were decided upon. Her plan as to how to obtain these presents also teolc shape. Riverton was the only place where they conld be obtained. To that village she would go first, obtain the mDn65r needed, devote one entire day to making her purchases, and then go* on to Green* vale-and astonish these good Mends from whom she was once so eager to eacatpe. it was all a most delightful episode .which was now anticipated by Chip. Again and again she lived it over, especial!> her arrival in Greenvale, and how like a Lady^BrHmtlftH she would present her glftB to her friends. So eager was she thus to make Some compensation to them that lessons became irksome, the day seemed weeks in length, and she could scarce sleep when Jxnltinie came. But the Bltfw days dragged by At last, and then Chip, happier than ever before In her life, dressed in her best, bade Aunt Abby good-by and started on her journey alone. town by the multiplication table?" The half-dozen loafers who met every afternoon in the Quaboag house office arrived in about the same order, smoked, drank, told their yarns, gathered all the gossfp, and departed at nearly the-same moment. Their evening visits partook of the same clocklike regularity. These of the old guard were also dressed much the same, and "slonchy" best describes it. Gray flannel shirts in winter or ,summer alHce. Collars, cuff a, and ties were never Seen on them, though patches 'were,- and as for shaving or hair-cutting, a few shaved once a weekv some never did, and semiannual haircuts were'aiafr average. The worst sinner in this respect. Luke Atwater, occasionally called "Lasy Luke," never had his beard shortened but once, and that was due to its being burnt off while he was fighting a brush fire in spring. H was related of him, and believed by many, that once upon a time many years previous he had had his hair cut and on that occasion the barber had found a whetstone concealed in Luke's shock of tangled hair. It was also asserted that he admitted always carrying his whetstone back of his ear while mowing, and so losing it that way.

He ushered her into the dining-room and made bold to sit and eat with her unasked, and when he assisted her to the front seat in his long box sleigh, crowded with her purchases, and drove away, he was envied,, by two dozen observers. "Why didn't ye send us word o' yer comin'," he said as they left Riverton, "so I cud 'n' spruced up some an' come down with a better rig, bells on the hosses and new buffler robes?" "There was no need of that," answered Chip, pleased, as well she might be. "I am just the same girl that I always was, only happier now that I have more friends. How is dear old Aunt Comfort, and every one in Greenvale? I am anticipating seeing them so much." And never during all the 20 years in which Uncle Joe had journeyed twice each day over this road had the way seemed shorter or had he been blessed with a more interesting companion. The only regret Chip had, was that she had forgotten to buy Uncle Joe a present. She made up for it later, however. At Greenvale. Chip met almost an ovation, Aunt Comfort kissed her and cried over her. Nezer ran for Angie, who soon appeared on the scene, and Hannah was so "flustered" she was unable to speak after the fiist greeting. Martin, who had heard of Chip's arrival from Uncle Joe, hastened to Aunt Comfort's, and had Chip been a real "millionairess" or some titled ladyshe could not have awakened more interest or received half HO cordial a welcome. Hannah was the one who felt the most embarrassed, however, and guilty as well. For half an hour, while Chip was the center of interest, she could only stare at her in dumb amazement. Then she stole out of the room, and later Chip found her in the kitchen, shedding copious tears. "I'm a miserable sinner V the Lord'H never forgive me," she half moaned, when Chip tried to console her. "An' to think ye feel the way ye say, 'n' to bring me a present, arter all the mean things I said. It's a-heapin' coals o* fire on my head, that it is." And the shower increased. "I have forgotten all about them, Hannah, truly I have," Chip assured her, "and I wish you would. You didn't understand me then, perhaps, or I you, so let us be friends now." The next afternoon Chip, who had learned that Miss Phinney's school was to close the day following, set out to call on her in time to arrive at its adjournment. No hiut of her return had reached no letters had been exnot since that tearful 1UTISS B E S S I E F A M P & t i l l Third * » * A v e . , Broold/ft.

The minister had dropped in to tea, and tho conversation had drifted through various channels to the question of whether or not we should know each other in heaven. Presuming that our physical beings would bo perpetuated, and that recognition would be assured, the minister had asked various ones at the table among whom the Bib Heal characters they would be most interested in recognising. Some mentioned one prophet and some another, but one lady, noted for her social esclusfveness, had not spoken. Turning to her tho minister said: "And who would you like to me it in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?" Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. "I really don't know,'' she said, "but there Is one thing I do know, and that is that I shouldn't care to meet Eve. In fact, I don't know that I would speak to her If I did!" SPITE. timos. to make sure tho. amount was 1 separation had they met. right. Then he passed the thick bun die of currency out under his latticed window, seeing only the two wideopen, fathomless eyes and dimpled face that had watched him, and feeling, as he afterward admitted, like 50 cents. And now ensued an experience the like of which poor Chip had never even dreamed,—the supreme joy of spending money without stint for those near and dear to her. And what a medley of gifts she bought! Two silk dress patterns, two warm wraps, three winter hats, a gold watch for Miss Phmney, an easy-chair, two of the finest pipes she could find, a trout rod, four pairs of gloves, and finally a gun for Nezer. Then as her roll of money grew less, she began to pick up smaller articles,—handkerchiefs, slippers, and the like.' "Send them to'the hotel please.* she said to one aria all of whom she purchased articles or any size, "marked for Vera McGuire." That "was enough! Riverton had sensations, mild ones, of course. Now and then a fire had occurred, once an elopement. Occasionally a horse ran away, causing damage to some one. But nothing had occurred to compare with the arrival of a supposed fabulously riclv youflg lady who came without escort, who walked into and out of stores like a goddess, noticing no one, and who spent money as if it were autumn leaves. A few of the Quaboag retinue followed her about in n not-to-be-observed manner. Women by the dozen hastily donned outdoor raiment and visited And now as Chip followed the lone> Iy by-road so often traversed by her, what a flood of bitter-sweet memoriaa returned,—each bend, each tree, each rock, and the bridge over the Mizzy held a different recollection. Here at this turn she had first met Ray, after i her resolve to leave Greenvale. At the next landmark, a lane crossing the meadows, she had always parted from her teacher, the last time in tears. And how long, long ago it all seemed! Then beyond, and barely visible, was the dear old sehoolhouse. She could see it now, half hid in the hushes, a lone and lowly little brown building outlined on the winter landscape and apparently dwarfed in size. Once it had awed her; now it seemed pathetic. The last of its pupils were vanishing as Chip drew near, and inside, and as lonely as that lone temple. Miss Phinney still lingered. That day had not gone well with her. A note of. complaint had come from one parent that morning, and news that a dearly loved scholar was ill as well, and Miss Phinney's own life seemed like the fields just n o w - cold, desolate and snow-covered.

You want to Know what the influence of local optiou on the business inteiests of this village. I oau answer that better by giving the statements of the men who are iu business here. First—D. A.

Sixth—Henry Stevenson, drugs, stationary, books and household supplies, says, 4'My business is as good as any previous year. Collections much easier. People seem to have more ready money."

In the early years of her labors much unintelligent opposition to this method of ventilation because of the supposed harmfulness of the night air was expressed, but Miss Nightingale had one stock argument in support of her position, it being the question, "What air shall we breathe at night but night air?" It was unanswerable from her opponents' point of view, even If It did not always convert them, but it did lead a countless number into saner ways of living and along the way to the present methods of treating tuberculosis.— Boston Transcript.

The lower story of Tea Broek's house was wide enough to take In his- vata without discommoding the family. One night when there was a fire op what to now Broad street, where the bulla and bears daily devour the Iambs In the stock market, Anneke »aw a young man of her acquaintance. Wou ter Bleeker, in the line of tho*e passing puckets, suddenly dart to the burning building, shin up a water spout and rescue a child. The young girl wa> filled with admiration of the swain, and under her encouragement he later paid his court to her. Unfortunately for the lovers, Tep Broek frowned, upon the connection, which is not Kurprising since young Bleeker had nc place to put a bride. Nevertheless Anneke could not bu prevailed upon to gj#e up Wouter, aud he continued his visits at the house, while Ten Broek's choler continued to rise, like the mercury climbing a thermometer. One evening—It was past 9 o'clock and every Dutchman was in bed—the angry father went into the kitchen, where the lovers were sitting hand in hand within the spacious fireplace, and exploded his wrath >n the face of the suitor. Wouter arose and backed out through an open door that led into the dyeing room, Ten Broek following and shaking his fist in the youth's face. Since "Wouter was moving in a contrary direction to his line of vision, he could see nothing behind him. Suddenly his heels caught upon a vat, and he went backward into the dye. When he emerged not only his clothes, but every square inch of his body, was as red as the Indians from whom the island of Manna-hatta had been purchased. Ten Broek surveyed him, shrugged his shoulders, with an "Ugh!" and, turning his back, left him. The newly dyed man ran home and, standing under the pump, received enough water to wash off the lye had It not bocn of the best and clung to him like a new skin. The poor boy arose the next morn-, ing to survey himself In a glass and see that he was hopelessly crimson. He went to a chemist and begged him to try to do something to remove his color. The chemist gave him a bath In which were certain drugs; but, nlas, when the bather emerged his*iyimson skin had turned violet. Wouter went home lu despair. There he found a note from Anneke appointing a meeting on the bunk of the Hud son river for that very evening. Wouter would gladly have stayed away, but feared his future/ happiness might depend upon the meeting. The hour was just after sunset. Anneke was waiting. When Wouter stepped up to her and Bhe saw his violet hue she burst into an uncontrolled fit of laughter. Wou) ter, incensed, turned on his heel and left her to laugh if she liked tift tho sounds reached the Jersey shore. The next morning the unfortunate youth wont again to the chemist and beeooght him to make another trial. .Xhe ch<-mist consented, but this time Woater came out the hue of the grass ia the Bowling green. Howling with disappointment, he ran home, and who should he see sitting on the stoop but Anneke. "Go away!" he cried, covering his face. "Dear Wouter," she said, "I have come to crave your forgiveness for laughing at yon." Wouter, reassured, advanced, at the same time uncovering his face. As soon as Anneke saw his green visago she again burst into a fit of laughter. Wouter rushed past her and up to his room, where he locked himself in, and nothing could induce him to come forth till Anneke had gone away. The chemist told Wonter that ho hoped nt last to find some chemical substance that would net upon tho dye, changing it to skin color. Wouter s a w him another trial and came out a bright orange. Soon after this Anneke mot hor lover walking between the fort and tho junction of the Hudson and East rivers. She was hurrying to him to sue for pardon for her apparent want of sympathy. The afternoon stfn struck his orango countenance, and again she failed for laughter. After this Wouter gave up trying to find anything to change his color and determined to try to wear it away.

Standing just outside the conning itewe'r and having from that position ^ view of the gun ahead to be Bred, ther youngster observed that the breech of'the six-inch gun hadn't yet been closed, and there was the skipper on the very pin point of touching the button t4at would Are/the^ gun with the unlocked breecb. If tbe gun went off in that condition there was the finest kind of. a chance for the recoil of the immense piece to drive the gun right through the ship's bottom'. ' The apprentice didn't have much time to think, but he didn't need much. He figured It all out In an instant that if he yelled at the skipper that the breech wasn't locked the suddenness of the yelr might so startle the skipper that his fluger would involuntarily come down on the button anrl thus discharge the gun. The boy's ship's knife with the big blade was in his left hand shirt pocket hanging there for its lanyard. He had it out and the blade open in un incredibly short space of time, and he made one catlike dab with the sharp blade of the knife at the electric wire belonging to the button that led right alongside where the buy was standing by the conning tower. The bla.de cut (Jhe wire in two a fraction of a second before the skipper's ringer reached the button, breaking the electric connection and in every likelihood preventing a tremendous calamity. The boy was enly ti tyke and not very strong, and just as soon^«as'"he slashed the wire he fell forward on his face iu a dead faint—an odd'thing, too, that, ' for a boy serving on _ a inan-o'-war, and yet, the incideut wasn't any ordinary one. The skipper rafted his head the instant he touched the button and saw what bad happened; the loose ends of the cut electric wire, the prone boy and all the rest of it. Then he darted out of the conning tewer and saw the breech of the big gun still unlocked.

The first locomotive on the Baltimore and Ohio bad sails attached. So did the can. These sails were hoisted when the wind was in the right direction so as to help the locomotive. The rivalry between the railroads using locomotives and those using korees was very bitter. In August, 1830, an actual trial of speed was held between a horse and one of the pioneei locomotives, which did not result 14 favor of the locomotive. The race was on the Baltimore and Ohio, the locomotive being one built by Petor Cooper. who also acted as engineer. The horse, a gallant gray, was in the habit of pulling a car on a track parallel to that used by the locomotive. At first the gray had the better of the race, but when he was a quarter of a mile ahead Mr. Cooper succeeded In getting up enough steam to pasa. th horse amid terrific applaus#.

To be good and do good are tha two great objects set before the Christian; to develops a perfect character by renering a perfect service. True Christian culture leads to and expresses itself in service, while faithful and loving service is the best means of Christian culture. Such was the daily life ot Mr. Boyer. Living is death; dying is life:— On tl.is side of the grave we are exiles, on that, citizens; on this side captives, on that, freemen; on this side disguised and unknown, on that side, disclosed and proclaimed as the sons of God.

When it was announced two weeks ago that Mrs. Norine Law would speak on tbe subject of temperance in the opera bouse fox several evenings, even the committee had no idea of the talent that was coming and were surprised as well as were the hundreds who did turn out to listen to her logical, convincing proofs of the evil of the drink traffic. It is safe to say that in the whole history of this village, there has never been a more forceful speaker than Mrs. Law, ever on the platform here. The weather and going was bad but there was an increasing attendance overy evening and had she remained longer .the hall would have been inadequate to hold tbe crowds, and it is safe to say that if she should ever visit here again, when the going was good, it would not take only the announcement of her name to pack the house to the doors. In the matter of duty, she placed the matter before the men in her audience in sucL a forceful manner that 1 there was no fair minded one who ooald dodge the issue, and just bow far her remarks had to do with the sweeping vicLory ot the Citizens tickon Monday, will never be known.

Her fortune (also known) was considered almost fabu- IOUH according to Qreenvale standards, and when Chip with Angle entered the church porch, it was crowded with H'.»«r>le waiting to receive them. Chip, of course, now well clad and well poised, was once more* the cynosure of CHAPTER XXXIV. »Tith the birds and tlow«vs once i|8'»"9 retdrning to Christmas Cove, came outdoor freedom *for Chip again. Like the wood-nymph she was In. character and taste, the wild, rgek-bound coast outside and the low, wooded mountain enclosing this village were her playgrounds where she found com-, panionship. Other associates she cared but little for, and a few hours alone on a wave-washed shore, watching the wild ocean billows tossing spray aloft, or a long ramble In a deep, silent forest, appealed to her far more than parties and girlish enjoyments. The wood-bordered road, leading from the village to the railroad ten "Say You Love Me." miles away, was now a favorite walk of hers. It was suited to her in many ways, for it was seldom traveled; it followed the sunny side of the low mountain range hack of Christmas Cove, not a house stood along Its entire way, and to add charm, a brook kept it company, crossing and reewsslng it for two miles. That feature was the most especial attraction, for bads of watercress waved beneath the limpid waters in deep pools, bunches of flag grew along its banks, their blue flowers bending to kiss tjie cur rent; its ripples danced in the sunlight; its music was a tinkling melody, and these simple attraction rip pealed, to Chip, There was also another reason for now choosing this bywfcy walk. She knew, or felt sure, that Ray would visit Christmas Cove on his return from the woods. He must come in the old carryall,—about the only vehicle eyef Journeying along t1»e road,—and now, like a brownie of the forest, she watched until she, spied It afar and then hid in the bushes and peeped out until it passed each day. A curious and somewhat complex feeling toward' this young man had also come to her. At first, like a cMld, she had loved hint 'Unasked*. She had known no different. He had seemed like a young god to her, and to cling to1 him was supreme happiness. Then had come an awakening, a consciousness that this freedom was not right and must he checked. Following that also—a bitter lesson—U had come to her that she was a kind of outcast, a child of shame, as it were, whose ori- ?rtn was despicable, and who was dependent upon the charity of others. This awakening, this new consciousness, was like a black chasm in front of her. a honor and shame combined, and true to her nature, she Mod from it like one pursued. But two years had changed her views of humanity. She had learned 'that money and social position did not [always win frt*mdf and r,e»pQc{. Tb*t ibit«jJa»d,jaa^|sllry t w e ,«*!

She was sore she would We glad to see Mm for eld times1 sake, however. She" would be gracious arid' dignified, as Aunt Abby was. She' wanted to hear all about the-woods and Old Cy again, but caresses must he forbidden. More than that, every etime she recalled how freely she had , permitted them once, sne blushed and ' felt that it Would be an effort to look him in the face again. But she was anxious to see how he would appear now: whether the same boy, with frank, open face, or a commanding, self-possessed man. 1 And so «ach pleasant afternoon she strolled up this byway road. When the ancient carryall was sighted, she bid and watched until passed. But Captain Mix, its driver, also had observing eyes. He knew her1 now as far a s he could see- hat; aa every one in the village did, arid he aeon noticed her unusual conduct. He also hatched along the wayside Where she left it, and slyly observed her peeptng out from some thicket. Just why this odd proceeding happened time and again, he could'not guess, and not until a strange young'inan alighted from the train one day and asked to be left at the home of Mrs. Abby Bemis, did it dawn on him. Then he laughed. "Friend o' Aunt Abby, I 'spose?" he inquired in his Yankee fashion, after they had started. "No," answered Ray, frankly, "I have never seen the lady. I know some one who is living with her, however. A Miss Mc—Raymond, I mean." Captain Mix glanced at him, his oyes twinkling. 'So ye*re 'qualnted with Vera, be ye," he responded. "Wal, ye're lucky;" Then as curiosity prow he added, "Known her quite a spell, hev re?" 'But Ray was dfscreet. "Oh; thtee'of |four years," he answered nonchalantly. "I knew her when she lived in Greenvale.*' t*hen to check the Btage driver's curjosity, he added, "She was only a little girl, then. I presume she haa changed since. "She's a purty good-lookln" gal now," asserted Captain Mix, "but middlln' odd in her ways. Not much on gallivant in' round wi' young folks, but goin' to school atiddy "n" roamin' round the woods when she ain't. Pnrty big gal to be goin* to school she is. I callatb her arly eddicatlon must 'a' been sorter neglected. Mebbe ye know ,'bout it," and once more this persistent Yankee glanced at his companion. But Ray was too loyal to the little girl he loved to discuss her further, and made no answer. Instead, he began inquiries about Christmas Cove, and as they Jogged on mile after mile, he learned all that was to be known of that quiet village. When they had reached a point some three miles from it, a kindly thought camo to the driver. "If Vera ain't 'spectin' ye," he1 said, "mebbe ye'd like to s'prise her. If so be it, ye kin. She's 'most alius out this Way 'n,' curisllke, hides 'fore I get 'long whar she is. If I see her to-day, 'a* ye want to, I'll drop ye clus by 'n' let ye." And so it came to pass. Chip, as usual, had followed her ofttaken walk on this pleasant May afternoon. When the carryall was sighted also, as usual, she had hidden herseh*. With beating heart she saw two occupants this time, and looking out of her laurel screen, she saw that otie was Ray. Then she crouched lower. The moment she bad waited for had come. ftut now something unex)>ected happened, for after the carryall pa'ssed her hiding spot, Ray, brown and stalwart, leaped out. The carryall dTove on, and she saw him returning and scanning the bushes. She was caught, fairly and squarely. One in3tant she hesitated, then, blushing rose-red, emerged from the undergrowth. And now came another capture, for with a "Chip, my darling," Ray sprang forward, and although she turned away, the next moment she was clasped in his arms. In vain she struggled. In vain she writhed and twisted. In vain she pushed him away and then covered her blushing face. Ix)ve. fierce and eager, could not be thus opposed. All her pride, anc;er, resentment, shame, and intended coldness were as so many straws, for despite her struggles, he pulled her hands aside and kissed her again and a?ain. "My darling," he exclaimed at last, "say you forgive nie; say you love mo; say it now!" Then, as » eyes were b "I won't," g(, 1*. Pi two, and !t ate yuu. alie declared once more, covering her face, '•*fitAl— 1 can't." " ' • ;• • "No, yoircant," he aafiertwl'eagerl:*, "for 1 won't let y.tm', ,You promised to love me once, ami now you've ^ot 10, f°V Ufe." A . , , And she did. , When the outburst of emotion had subsided and they strolled homeward, Chip glanced shyly up at her lo*«r. "Why did you pounce o n / m e \ w ? she queried; "why didn't yoij ask]me, first r f '"My dear," he a n s w e r e d r - T wise man kisses the girt first; and- a*fcs her afterwards." Then he repeated the And now what a charming summer of sweet illusion and castle-building followed for the lovers! How Aunt Abnyamlled benignly upon them, quite content to accord-ample chance for. wooing! How many blissful, dreamy hours they passed on lonely wave* washed cliff8, while the marvel of love was discussed! How Its wondrous magic opened a new world whose wa-Iks were flower-decked, whose sky was ever serene, where lilies bloomed, birds sang, sea winds whispered of time and eternity, and where Chip was an adored queen! How all the shame and humiliation of her past life faded away and joy supreme entered on the azure and golden wings of this hew morning! Even Qld Cy was ajmosj; forgotten; the spites, Old Toman, and Tim's Place quite so; and all hope, all joy, all protection, and all her future centered in the will and wishes of this Prince Perfect. "Blind and foolish," I hear some fair critic say. Yes, more than ihat, almost idiotic; for selfish man never pursues unless forced to do so, and an object of worship once possessed, la but a summer flower. **~ Do— fo&Aaiwr *'4i Prayer oscn BytfvVA.C.DttotfDfc >* reatafref t W CHAPTER XXXV. Quite different from the meeting of the lovers was that which occurred when Old Cy reached Peaceful Valley. There were no heroics, no falling upon one another's necks, no tears. Just a "Hullo, Cyrus!" "Hullo, Judson!" as these two brothers clasped hands, and 40 years were bridged. Aunt Mandy, however, showed more emotion, for when Old Cy rather awk< wardly .stooped to.kiss her, the long ugo of Sister Ahby's sorrow welled up in her heart, and the tears came. That evening's reunion, with its two life histories to be exchanged, did not close until the tall clock had ticked Into the wee, small hours. All of Old Cy's almost marvellous adventures had to be tord by him, and not the least Interesting were the last lew years at the wilderness home of the hermit. Chip's entry Into it and her history formed another chapter fully as thririlng, with tJncle Jud's rescue of her for a denouement. The most pathetic feature of this Intermingled history—the years while sweet Abby Grey waited and watched for her lover—was left untold. Only once was it referred to by Aunt Mandy, in an indirect way; but the quick lowering of Old Cy's eyes and the shadow that overspread his face, checked her at once. Almost intuitively she realised its unwisdom, and that it was a sorrow best not referred to. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Coins Found in Old Wall. A remarkable discovery of a hoard of gold and silver coins, amounting In value to about £300, has been made in the townland of Annaloughey, near Augheloy, county Tyrone. The money was discovered hidden in an old wall beside the house which has been the property of the same family for generations. The back of the wall at one time formed a iK»rtlon of the original house. Mow or when the horde was placed in position where it was discovered is a mystery, but. from the dates on tho coins it must have been at. least half a century ago.—Westminster Gazette.

T I M prayerleee m a n has placed him aelt . ooiaide the pale of civilian* Uon by denying to the ruler the right to near the petitions of bh* subjects. If he a*atiU that titer* i* a God, while at the same time *e~4«r nies • that he answers prayer,' he ha* brought his God down to the position . of the petty savage chieftain who lives for his own pleasure without re» gard to the welfare of his subject*. Prayerlessness Is, therefore, a specie* of barbarism. Any man as a subject of the King may come before him with petition' If he has a grievance, let binruot teH it to others, and thus backbite th* King. The King invites him into his presence, and. will giv.e audience even to his complainings. "Let him cone boldly unto the throne of grace, that he may obtain mercy and find grace to^ help him in time of need.ir God is "en/ throned in grace and invitee every subject in need to approach with bold-' ness. And the promise is clear: "My God shall supply all your needs according t o his riches In glory by Christ Jesus." The resources of God's throne are at the disposal of all his needy subjects. With such a king would it not be wrong to refuse to make petition? Would it not-be disloyal? Prayerlessness Is, Indeed, disloyalty to the King of the universe. Qod as Judge. God as Judge hears and answers the prayer of a plaintiff. In the parable of the Unjust Judge (Luke 18:1-8) the widow has a grievance against her adversary, and pleads that he shall be punished. Though the judge is unjust, his judicial .npaitlon compels him to hear her plea, ^nd her. Importunity constrains htm to' grant her petition. The argument is that, if an unjust judge Is compelled by official position to hear the plea, and constrained by the importunity of the plaintiff to grant it, how much more will a juat God respect his Judicial po-, sitlon and answer without demanding importunity. But a just judge pannot forgive a man who has been proved guilty, unless satisfaction to justice can be made. Mercy is injustice. It may be based upon kindness, but lhat does not rid it of injustice. Then how can a prayer for forgiveness be answered without impeaching the justice of the judge? Only by another's bearing the sinner's guilt. To say that confession of sin, IB atonement enough ignores the righteousnesa of God. Confessing debt does not pay debt; it rather enforces' the obligation to pay. But if the debt has been paid by another, it would be flagrant injustice to demand a second payment, God aa Father. God as Father hears and answers the prayer of his child. If you con* fees the fatherhood of God and, then deny that he is Influenced by jibe cry, of his child, you would degrade him below the level of the beasts of the field and the birds of the air, for they heed the'cry of their young-fa dtetreM and hasten to their relief So rt^ht (a it .for the Father to hear the prayer. of his child that the universal: consciousness of mankind gives hiin .no option. He must.... hear Ljt*, or; be. branded as infamously heartless. Even pagan ethics demands it. For a parent to be insensible to the cry of his child is a sign of insanity or depravity. To deny that God answers prayer, while we believe in his fatherhood. Is, therefore, to..,, charge .him with insanity or depravity. . , . , Reward of Obedience. The father has, of course, the right to use his superior wisdom In deciding whether or not the child's request shall be granted. The child has ho right to command the father except by his obedience. In nature we can command only by obeying. If we obey tWe laws of electricity or steam, we may command them and they will do our bid ding. Rut if we refuse to obey their laws, they refuse to obey us. And so when Gcd promises upon certain, renditions, and we fulfill the conditions, his promise becomes our command, and w. may lovingly insist upon its fulfillment. As a father to givs a child what every whim of fanoy or so'.fish de»ire might prompt him to a.-k would hs to injure the child and make the order of home give place to t^Q a.-.a."ciiy of discordant demands* W P l T O j " W p i p l^m **^mm m^mmm ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ • ^ • ^ • ^ P P W ^ I ^ » ^ W " P • p ^ ^ " n v q ^ p v ^ p ^ ^ p ^ p p p ^ j p r * * * * - * ! n up f.j* •««'JAJ n J I « ^ « ^ I H ^ IUI {iim i : . • * '.[•' '.IP, If" i l W P ,7 JJJPP,.?.

My work Is in sufficient demand to warrant my having uu assistant. An auianueuslB, you say? No, not an aitutuuensis or a stenographer- an assistant in my literary work. The duties are hunting up motives, situations, scenes—indeed, a lot of material which 1 constantly need in the development of my stories. I lmve such uu assistant, u woman. She knows well what 1 need and recognises It when she sees it. Her position is permanent. SI*j is my wife. This is how 1 got her: I advertised for such a person as I have here indicated, all candidates to meet me at my house uu a certain ^u y and hour. When they were assembled 1 questioned them iu a preliminary foamier aud weeded out all but three of them. They were all women. Then 1 gave them the following problem: "Here is a story," 1 said, "of u dinner party at which there were, say, u dozen guests. One of the ladies present had on her linger u peculiar ring. One sitting next her asked to see it. It was handed to her for examination. Her next neighbor desiring to see it, it was passed to hiin and from him to the next and the next till it had been examined by every one at the table. Meanwhile there was the hum of conversation, aud the ring was forgotten. Then the lady asked that* whoever had it would return It to her. No one had the ring. Its owner looked, astonished, theu indignant. One of the guests proposed that the party submit to search. The propo sltlon was adopted, and each guest consented except one young man, who declared that he would not submit to such ignominy. Then the host said: " 'I will pay the value of the ring. I do not wish to suffer the notoriety the bringing of this matter up in the courts would involve. All except one of us have proved ourselves innocent. He is either guilty or for some reason known only to himself is content to remain considered so.' "A year after this upon the moving of a sideboard the ring was found In a crevice. There had been no theft. "I will give three different reasons why the young man declined to submit to search, he being, like the rest, Innooent. Each reason may be used as the denouement, or, rather, I consider It the motif of the story. I have my own opinion which Of the three Is the strongest for use. If but one of you agrees with me I shall consider her the beet fitted for my assistant since she will see situations more clearly as I see them. If more than one of you choose my preferred denouement I will offer another test. These are the situations I refer to: "First.—The young man was very poor and wouI£ rather be considered a thief than have It known that he had not a cent in hi3 pocket. "Second, lie had a sick sister at home and had taken from a table a bird in carry to her. He would rather he considered a thief than have his net ami the poverty of his family ex posed. "Third. He considered that an innoeenl man would demean himself by consenting to be searched." I asked the. young ladles to write their choice of these three inrerpreta tlons, giving their reasons for it. One chose the second, stating, In substance, that nothing eould be more noble than tlf underlying your first proposition, a docen basketfuls on the one underlying your second proposition, but I don't remember ever reading one on the third." "You will not be likely to trouble me with threadbare themes." "Nor new ones either. If you pay me for such rather than a salary, I shall starve. There is nothing new." "I will pay you a salary." Under the salary system I prospered so well and was obliged to raise the amount so often that I was obliged to marry my assistant to prevent her getting away with most of my proceeds. T.

Them.' was IM station, no station ayent. baggage a^cni iiu'iiiiuj;. no o:a- un that disinal wintor nioruin^ except myself, uibsueltereti. the uiutl drivluy; tlxe loose snow past uie In slieets. I had Uvea ty minutes to wait for the train, which I must flag myself. The engineer, however, In so sparsely a settled country would have uo objection to atopr plug for the purpose of taking on a single passenger. Half the time had elapsed when, hearing a footstep crunching on the snow behind me, I turned and saw a man approaching. As he neared me i noticed that he carried bis right aim in a sling and had his overcoat buttoned at the throat over the arm. A felt hat was d r a w n down to cover his face, so that I would not see much of his features. When he came and stood beside me, looking up the track for the train, i saw that he had dark, sandy hair and a red beard, a rather unusual combination. "Train on time, sir?" he asked. "Don't know," I replied. "I don't fancy waiting long for it here." The man seemed nervous. He cast a glance at me that made me uncomfortable. He was an ugly looking fellow, and if he were prepared to do so it would be an excellent place to murder and rob me, then hide my body in the snow and escape by the train wrheu it came. \'I don't tike the looks of this mist in the air," he remarked. "Singular, isn't it? I don't know that I ever saw anything j u s t like it before. Hello, there's the train com- Ingl" It sprang suddenly into sight without a sound to give us warning. 1 jumped off the track on which I was standing, then waved my handkerchief for it to stop, which It did, but some 200 feet before it reached us. Seizing my satchel, which I had set on the end of a tie, I ran np the track to get aboard, followed by the man who had joined me. Cut before we had covered a quarter of the distance the train disappeared as suddenly as if it were a ghost train run by ghost officials. 1 stared for a few moments a t the place where it had been, then glanced at my companioVi. He was looking up the track with the most terrified expres sion I have ever seen on any man's face. "Did you see it?" I asked. He didn't hear me. He was muttering incoherently and acting in other respects like one demented. I tried to reassure him by telling him that we both were «o anxious for the train to come that we had created it in our imaginations—a very lame explanation, by the way—but was unable to quiet him. Suddenly I saw him looking out over the snow with a new and heightened terror in his eye. I followed its direction, and there out on the prairie was the train running along as smoothly as if it were still on the rails. So intense was my astonishment, so I eerie the feeling the phantom train < Rave me, that I forgot my companion | completely till, hearing a groan, I looked about and saw him lying writhing' in the snow. This startled me, and 1 forgot the train in the responsibility of being out on a broad prairie with a man who might be in a death struggle. There was little I could do for him except got his head ou my knee, and, taking a flask from my satchel, pour a drink of whisky down his throat. While he revived, he did not recover his head even twelve 'minutes later I when the train—the real train— preced ed by a rattling ou the rails and the usual clatter, steamed up and a t my signal stopped beside us. The conductor, standing on a platform, saw me beside the sick man and, jumping off, assisted me to get him aboard. A number of persons were crowding around the invalid, gapiug at him, when one of them, a trainman, exclaimed: "I'll bet that's Dan Horganl" "Who's Dan Hnrgnn?" I asked. "One of The men who threw the train off the track two weeks ago. killing the engineer, fireman and several ".ficeaiea aw laentity for the re he bad intended to risk I learned that the phantom train w;ts due to the mirage not uncommon in liaolteba.

The school building was supposed to be practically modern, although erected three 6r four year* ago. The school children had been given fire drills, and were supposed tq. be, in training, for just auch an: emergency. When the crucial moment arrived the drill was forgotten and not the slightest effort to effect an orderly or prompt escape availed. Victims Practically Incinerated. As soon as firemen and volunteers could, .get dose «ouy*b, attempts were made to pluck, bodies; from the death heaps at the doors. It was found that the flames had practically incinerated the bodies. Firemen with rakes, forks and shovels turned up blackened bones, little blackened skulls and masses of charred ttfSe$\ but bodies recognisable as auclrwere no longer 40 be fofctrd.

An hour or so later, a shabbily dreseed stranger entered the office of Mayor Busse at the city hall, asked for a Job and when told to get out aaid there would be trouble. Heads of departments at once issued orders to bar all strangers.

Arerbuch.had been in America only three months, haying come from Austria, whether he fled from Kishinev two years "ago to escape the persecution of the Jews in that city. Through information received from the sister and from a feHow employe in a produce commission house, where Averbuch had recently been employed, the police were able t o trace Averbuch'. movements and learn the views he held. It was learned that Chief Shippy's interference several weeks ago with a parade of unemployed men, headed by "Dr." Ben L.

Bodies Numbered at Morgue. Fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters passed up and down the lines formed of 170 corpses. To facilitate identification the bodies were numbered as they were received at the morgue. The first identification was made by the mother of Nels and Tommy Thorn peon, aged six and nine years respectively. The heads and arms had been burned from both bodiea, but the mother recognlxed the shoes on their feet. And so the disheartening work went on accompanied now and then by a piercing shriek or plaintive moan as a loved one was recognized by clothing or token, s«ieh a«t ring or necklace. About the burned schoolhouse there are but few residences. In one of these Mrs. Clark Sprung lived. Her little boy. Alvon, aged seven, was a pupil In the second grade. * When the fire started the mother ran over to the school and ar tived when the first floor was a mass of flames. At a window on that floor she saw the face of her boy. He recognized her and pleaded for help. Rushing across the street Mrs. Sprung secured a stepladder and placed it against the window. Climbing up she reached for her boy. She caught him by the hair. It. burned off in her hands and the lad fell hack Into the flames. Desolation unspeakable hangs over the vicinity of the school and the whole village of ColMnwood. The school board met In special session at. the temporary morgue late Wednesday afternoon to discuss the calamity, while the-oaroner prepared to iipld an inquest to determine the. cause and place the responsibility ^for. the fire. bead in Russian terrorist fashion. Following the attack squads of police were sent into the Italian and Ghetto Quarters of the city. Places known as headquarters of secret societies suspected of anarchistic tendehcTes were raided and a score or more of arrests wore made. The spread of the propaganda of anarchy in Chicago haB been so raptft of late that, too police authoritiea declere,., the, metropolis is feetering with nihilism and conditions are fully as grave as they were in the days of the Haymarket riots. There are at least 40 group* 6f anarchists in Chicago, and at least'15,000 persons are said to be either avowed anareftiatd' or in sympathy with thorn. Police Chief Shippy censures the social setUemeate severely, He says that "Mother" Jonas, one of the speakers at Brand's hail, who Inveighed against the police, later made an addreas at Hull house. Lucy Parsons was in the audience. "The social settlements," continued the chief, gravely, "are first cousins lo the anarchists. Graham Taylor, who spoke recently before the Association of Commerce, denaunced the police as the most corrupt body of men. This kind of talk is what leads to assassinnation. Detroit Has Them. A branch of the Giordano Bruno society has been formed in Detroit, and it is holding regular meetings. This is the society whose anarchistic and anti-clerical teachings have recently arofteed the police of other cities to the danger of riotouB outbreaks among the Italians Giuseppe Alio, ih« Itallan assassin of Father Leo Hefn<i rich in Denver, is a member. The Chicago anarchist who attacked Chief of Police Shippy was connected with it.l It preachea free thought and rebellion agaimat all authority. Detroit'a branch of the society was organised February 17, the ?08th anniversary of the burning in Rome of Giordano Bruno, the man who stands at the ideal of the anarchists of bis country today. The formation of the local branch was preceded by the issuing of a poster with all the inflammatory language which marks the literature of anarchists. Reutardahl Again. Harry Reuterdahl, whose caustic criticisms of the. United States navy have caused nation-wide comment, and who has roused the ire of the officials in Washington, sailed for San Diego on the supply ship Colgoa.

Howes of Magrath, Alberta, Western Canada, had 50 acres of laml in wheat, which- averaged 45 bushels to the acre; his yield of oats w s * 35 bushels. The value to him per acre Of wheat was t35.0<h.< J.-F. Haycock of the same place, says: "1 had 65 acres of wheat, 3G acres of oats-and fowr* acres of barley. My average yield of eats to the acre w s * 80 bushels; wheat—winter—60 bushels and red fyfe, 33 bushels, and barley, 50 bushels. The value t o me per acre was, wheat, 1*8.00; oats. S32.00, and bar ley, $24.00." J. F. Bradshaw of Magrath,. had. 1,030 acres of wheat in crop that averaged 39 Vs bushels to the acre, his oats, 32 bushels; barley, S3 buaheia. He threshed 21,#00 bushels of; wheat from G4Q acres. He also had 250 tons of sugar beers from 25 acrea worth $5.62½ per ton. W. a Sherod, of Lethbrldge, says: "I came to Lethbridge from Sonrls, North Dakota, In April, , 1907, having purchased 890 acres of land in this district last fall. I had 138 acres of Alberta Red winter wheat which was put in on breaking in the fall of 1906, which yielded 41¼ bushels to. the acre, for which I received 3 7 ¼ cents per bushel, which paid me $36.30 per acre. I bad 190 acres "stubbled in" that is disced in on the stubble, which yielded 22 bushels to the acre at 87¼ cents per bushel, which paid me $19.25 t o the acre. I also had 350 acres of strictly volunteer crop, which It was intended to prepare in the summer; but when It was seen that it was a good looking crop, it was allowed to go. From this we threshed 15 bushels to the acre, which paid us at the rate of 87½ cent 8 per bushel or $13.12 per acre. Our total crop yielded us 14,742 bushels, of first-class wheat. Taking it as a whole. I consider that I had a firstclass crop all through; and, taking into consideration the fact of part of the crop having been "atubbled iu," and part strictly volunteer (which waa never touched at all until the binder, was put into it), I.cojssiaer 1 had a heavy crop I might say that I was in North Dakota ftve years, and I never grew a s heavy a crop during that time. This is the 26th day of November, and my teams are still ploughing,' and, from the appearance of the weather, will be for some time yet.'! R. W. Bradshaw of Magrath. says: "I had this year 400 acres In crop, vis.: 200 acres of wheat and 200 acres in oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 50 bushels, and wheat, 22¼ bushels. The value to me per acre for wheat was $19%00, and oats, $17.00. The highest price obtained by me this year or offered me for my grain was for wheat 82 cents per bushel, and $1.05 per hundred for oats. I also had 100 tons of hay worth $12.00 per ton, and will say my wheat was all volunteer this year. Lots of wheat is averaging from 50 to 60 bushels per acre on summer fallow, and on new breaking, when'the breaking was done early fn the spring." Writing from Spring Coulee, Alberta, W. L. Thompson says: "I had this year 3,000 acres in crop, viz.: 2,000 acres of wheat and 1,000 acres of oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 30 bushels and of wheat 56 bushels/ The value to me per acre for wheat waa $27.00 and for oats $15.00."

A number of exceptional: opportunities will be offered this spring by the Government for enterprising and intelligent farmers to secure choice farms on a dozen or mora large irrigation projects which are now nearing completion. Owing to the rapid narrowing of the limits of the unoccupied public domain, it is doubtful if these opportunities will ever occur again. It is probable, therefore, that the West will see one of the greatest influxes of homeseekers in 1908 that has been witnessed in many years. The great fertility and wonderful crop yoilds from irrigated lands, and the favorable terms the Government offers settlers, warrants the belief that before the year closes not a single farm will be without an enfcrymatt. These farms are located in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Nevada. A letter addressed to The Statistician, TJ. 8. Reclamation Service, Washington, D. C, will secure full information concerning the location, soil, climate, crop possibilities, and terms of disposal. i For $ 1 . 0 0 Work all delivered next day after taken Watch this space nexf^ week for an Easter Announcement. ,1 <w THE GEM PHOTO CO. * W*^ 1-,.- ritttMaWtflttaWal Mk Jatmmm •M y"**.-: Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Chip spends Christmas at Greenvale. Old scenes bring back her love for Ray. Chip again at Christmas Cove with Aunt Abby is visited by Ray, and all the differences of the past are forgotten in the bliss of love. CHAPTER XXXV.—(Continued). Old Cy evidently felt it a subject to avoid, and not until the next day did he even ask how Aunt Abby looked or what had been her life experiences. A little of this reticence wore away in due time, however, and then Aunt Mandy once more referred to her sister. "I kinder feel you blame Abby somehow, Cyrus, the way you act," she said, "and yet thar ain't no cause for it. She'd waited 'most seven years. We'd all given you up for dead. And life in Christmas Cove wa'n't promisin' much for Abby." "I don't blame her a mite,'* Old Cy answered quickly, "an' no need o' yer thinkin' so.

Only I hated to hev ye tell me what I knew ye'd hev to, that fust night." "But you're fcoin' to see her. ain't ye, Cyrus?" Aunt Mandy asked anxiously. "Ye won't shame her by nor goin', will ye?" "Wal, mebbe." he answered slowly. and after a long pause. "1 wouldn't want to hurt her knowln'ly.

He.relented a little from iaits straoget and. almost cruel whim a week later* and after visiting the Rlggsvllle store and obtaining what really amounted to a disguise in new garments, he announced his plans. "I've got to see Chip," he said, "an' see how she 'n' Ray's gittln' on. I've got to see Abby, I s'pose. I want to, an* I don't want to, both In one. Then ag'in, these two young folks—Chip 'a' the boy—hev sorter got tangled up in my feeiin's, 'n' 1 can't rest content till I've seen 'em settled in life. I'm goin' to Christmas Cove fer a day.

No opposition to this uuseemly outcome was made by Uncle Jud or Auut Maudy. They knew, or hoped, the leaven of bygone memories and association would change the hermit-like impulse of Old Cy, and all in good time a better eud^ug of his life would seeru possible to him. To argue it now was apparently useless. A man so set in his ideas as to remain a homeless wanderer for almost a lifetime, was not to be changed iu a month, or perhaps in a year. Neither did Old Cy seem in a hurry to visit Christmas Cove. "I don't look nat'ral or feel nat'ral in them new clothes," he said to Aunt Mandy one day, "an' while I want to see Abby, I've lived in the woods so long I'm sorter 'shamed to go 'mongst respectable people. Then I look like one o' them wooden men dressed up in a store winder with that new rig on, an' jest know folks'll all be laughin' at me. I've got to go, I callate, but I'd like to make the trip in a cage.

From which it may be seen how hard it was for Old Cy to fit himself into civilized life once more. He nerved himself for the trip to Christmas Cove in a few days, however, and how he met and renewed acquaintance with his old-time sweetheart shall be told in his own words. "Abby hain't changed near so much as I callated," he said on his return; "a leetle fuller in figger. but jest the same easy-spoken, sweet sorter woman I always knew she'd be. She was 'lone when I called, an' fer a minit arter we shook hands neither on us could speak ag'in. Then she kinder bit her lip 'n' swallered her feeiin's, keepin' her face turned away, an* then we sot down 'n' begun talkln". It was techin", too, the way she acted, fer she kept tryin* to smile, 'n' all the while the tears kept startin'. It was like one o* them summer days when the rain patters while the sun is shining'. I don't think she noticed my clothes much, either, an' we sot up till 'most midnight talkin' over old times. It all turned out 'bout the way I 'sperted—a sorter funeral o' old hop«s with us two fer mourners. She's powerful considerate, too, Abby is, for the timp we was talkin' she never once spoke o' Cap'n Bemis, 'n' I didn't. It was jest ez if we started in whar we left orf, 'n' skippin' the gap between. She lowed she hoped she'd see me soon a^'in. that she felt like a mother to Chip; an' whon I bid her good-by. she kinder clinked once more. j "I rHd:>'t see much <V Chip, cither, whi^h sorter hurt me.

Love in youth is a sweet sons; of ioy and hope and promise. But love that spans a lifetime, that reaches and CHAPTER XXXVI. With September came a supreme event' in* the lives of Chip and Ray, when Mr. and Mrs. Friable, Aunt Comfort, Miss Phinney and Hannah, Uncle Jud and Aunt Mandy, and Old Cy.'all gathered in Aunt Abby's quaint parlor to see her aged pastor join their hands and lives. Then came the kisses, the congratulations, the rice, and oldshoe throwing, and then solitude and tears for Aunt Abby. All the wedding guests except Old Cy hied themselves away with the now pair, and he left for Jiayport. And thus closes the history of Chip McGuire, waif of the wilderness and slave of Tim's Place. Bless her! Twu days later Old Cy returned. No one was iu the house when he knocked at Aunt Abby's door, and then, led perhaps by the invisible chord that spanned 40 years, he slowlystrolled up the path beside the oldmill pond, which he and she had often followed in the old, old days. His heart had led him aright, for there, at the foot of the ancient oak that had once been their trystingplace, she sat. "I thought I'd come over 'n' bid ye good-by, Abby," he said gently, as she arose to meet him. "I've been doin' a good deal o' biddin' good-b^ to-day. I bid good-by to the old graveyard whar my folks is; it's all growed up to weeds n' bushes, I'm sorry to say. But that can't be helped. It's the way o' natur. I've been down to the p'lnt whar you 'n' I used to go, an' I bid that good-by," he added, seating himself near her. "Ye 'member it, don't ye, Abby, n' them days when we went thar to watch the waves?' "I do, Cyrus," she answered., her voice trembling. "I remember all the old days only too well." "They all come back to me, too," he continued in a lower tone, "an' I wish I could skip back to 'em, but I can't. I'm an old man now, an' no use to nobody, n' not much to myself. I've been a wanderer many years—y£ know why, Abby. I've had a short spell o' joy, kinder helpin' this boy n' ^al into sunshine 'n' a home. They've gone their way now 'n' sure to forgit me an' you. It's nat'ral they'should, n' all that's left me is to go back to the woods 'n' stay." He paused a moment, glancing up the narrow pond to where it ended In shadow, and then continued: "It's curis, Abby, how life begins with how-de-do's 'n' smflin* friends n' cheerin' prospects, n' then ends with goodbys n' bein' forgot. It's what we must callate on, though, an' a good deal like a graveyard is left to weeds 'n' bushes." , Once more he paused, closed his eyes, and remained silent for a time. "Wal, I might as well be goin." he said* finally, rising and extending his hand, "so good-by. Abby. I wish ye well in life." "But is there any need of it?" she answered, turning her face to hide the tears as his hand clasped hers. "Why, no, only to fergit my sorrer," he answered; "I can't do it here." "But who will care for you there—at last—and—must you go?" Then she turned to him again. And then he saw, not the gentle, saddened face upraised to his, but. the tender face of sweet Abby Grey of the long, long ago. "Must you leave us—me?" she whispered once again. "Wal, mebbe not," he answered. THE END. Writing t r o » BfeaUtbon, Saskatchewan, Canada, W. H.

It is as follows:- Paynton, Sask., Canada, Dec. 10th, 1907. To Whom This May Concern: I moved to this address February 3, 1907, from. Montgomery, Iowa, and took a homestead 35 miles north of Paynton. It was cold when I moved here but It did not stay cold long; it broke up the 8th of February, and was not so cold after that but the spring was late on account of the heavy snow fall, but in spite of the late spring I saw better grain than I ever saw in the states, raised this year. I helped u man finish sowing oats the 4th of July and they made fair oats. In a good year oats will go 100 bushels to the acre and wheat 25 to 50; all root crops do well here. I saw turnips weigh 7 and 8 pounds. I raised potatoes this year that measured 11½ inches one way and 18½ the other in circumference. This is a fine stock country; hay in abundance, good water, plenty of fuel, free and plenty of building material—the government gives ~us timber to saw into lumber and we can get it sawed for about $6.00 per thousand. All small fruit grows wild here, then there are ducks, geese, grouse, pheasants, deer, moose, elk and fish in abundance. I was over to Turtle Lake yesterday where there i s i o t s of fishing being done this winter. I saw about a carload of white fish in one pile. I gave 25 cents for S6 pounds of fish; What do you think of that, Brother Yankee? I think this is a fine place both to make money and to live. There was an old man up here visiting bis brother-in-law. Now this man owns land close to Des Moines, Iowa, and is in good circumstances, but he took a homestead and says he will be contented if he can only put in trie rest of his days in Canada. He would get up In the mornand look out of the door and say: "Well, who wouldn't live in Canada?" Now I have been in 13 different states in the United States, and I never saw the chance that there is here for a man that has a little muscle and a little brains. Three cheers for Canada! (Signed.)

LATEST NEWS Of MtCHIGAH • — • — . „ . SUPttEME COURT OCClOEtJ IN FAVOR OF NOV&MBKR ELECTION. SIX OPINIONS WRITTEN «o the New Constitution M«y Be Weil Considered Before t h e Voters Decide On Acceptance or Rejection. The auprenie court has decided that the new constitution must be voted on at the Xovember electlou according to the contention of the constitutional convention. The court was very much divided on .the question, five of the judges holding for submission in November and thr«e standing opposed. Six opinions were written. Justice Carpenter, in an opinion, eaya that while he agrees that the convention had no authority to ttx the date for the submission of the constitution and that the duty belongs to the legislature, yet he believes that the constitution itself axes the date by implication in November, when all the electors of the state are most likely to go to the polls. It Is pointed out that, as the constitution stood prior, to 187l>, a revision must be t>ul>- mitted to a vote of the electors at a biennial November election, and that this language can mean nothing else than the next biennial November election. It la held that in extending the former constitutional provision giving the legislature authority to propose amendments, the people did not grant the legislature any new authority respecting the submission of a new constitution. Six opinions were filed by the court. Judges Carpenter, Moore, Grant, Blair and Ostrander holding that the constitution must be submitted in November, while Judges Hooker, Montgomery and McAlvay concluded that the legislature's power to fix a date for submission is ample. In a separate opinion of the court it is held that no election need be held In Detroit April G for the submission of the proposed amendment to tho present constitution. Try to Break Will. Notwithstanding the fact that John Moylan bequeathed all his property to his wife, Johanna Moylan, a petition to break the will has been filed in the circuit court in Port Huron by a sister, M ^ , Ntary Kelley, and..her daughters. One of tae daughters, Mrs. J. L. Board, Was said at one time to be Uw* jOT£*Ufel$&t ^ a m a n in Port Huron. ' '•*' It Is charged that the will was written in ixrtn, ' > e h arid - peocfl" and seemed to have a different signature than th* other handwriting.

One man killed nnd another pernaps fatally injured, besides a number more or less badly hurt, is the toll of a wreck on the Pere Marguette near Wyoming yards shortly before midnight Monday. Passenger train No. 8 leaving Grand napids for Chicago at 11:30, hit an .extra freight which had backed on the main line. Fireman John Chattock, of No. 8, was killed and Engineer Clarence Jones; of the freight, was so badly bruised and injured internally, that he may die. Jones's home is in Grand Rapids. Chattock was 28 years old and lived in Lansing. Lee Hall, of Hastings, is suffering from a severe scalp wound, his left arm is broken and he is suffering from severe injuries about the hips. The cause was a confusion of orders, Ames Claims Self.Defense.' * • Fred Ames, who shot and killed his brother-in-law on t h e farm near Warren, pleads self-defense. He charges that McClelland started toward him with a pitchfork. Mrs. McClelland, who was the only witness, says that Ames chased her husband out of the barn with a revolver and then shot him three times. Ames says he had been threatened a number of times by McClelland and therefore carried a revolver. T h e men had many disputes about trivial family affairs. Liquor also played a part In their troubles. Mrs. McClelland had recently notified saloonkeepers not to sell her husband liquor but he managed to get it anyway. MICHIGAN BRIEFS.

Pure White Lead is made from m e ' tallic lead, and, under intense heat, such as is produced by a blow-pipe, pure White Lead will resolve itself back into metallic lead. If, however, it Is not genuine White Lead, or jf it contains the slightest trace of adulteration, the change will not take place. Therefore the "blow-pipe" test is an absolute and final one. The National Lead Company are urging everyone Interested in painting to make this test of puint before using" it, and they guarantee that the pure White Lead sold under their "Dutch Boy Painter" trade-mark will always prove absolutely pure under the '"blow, pipe" or any other test. To make it easy for you to perform the experiment they will send you free upon request a blow-pipe and everything necessary for you to make the test, together with a valuable booklet on paint.

An enthusiastic New Yorker recently watching a game of hurling—which resembles lacrosse— between stalwart teams, was moved to ask President Conway of tho Irish Athletic association how far a good man could drive t h e ball. "Well, I'll tell you." responded Mr. Conway, with a twinkle in his eye that contradicted his serious speech. "In the good old days when Cuchulllin was champion of Ireland, the king and all the nobility were assembled at the great games of Tailtin. CuchuiHin struck up a hurley ball into the sky, and then walked off to his pavilion and took a drink of potheen, and strolled back to the spot in good time to catch the ball on his hurley."—Harper's Weekly. Leiaure to Burn. "My dear," asked the overworked business manager of his wife, as he tried to write a check for her, answer the telephone, receipt the expressman, and give instructions to a floor-walker, at one and the same time: "My dear, in that 'Great Beyond,' do you suppose any of the elegant leisure, of which the preacher tells us, will fall to my lot?" "Sure, John," answered his wife, sweetly, "you will doubtless have leisure to burn." Illustrated Sunday Magazine. Out to Be Some Special Place.

'A The nervous system of the musician Is often very sensitive and any habit like coffee drinking may so upset the nerves as to make regular and necessary daily practise next to impossible. "I practise from seven to eight hours a day and study Harmony two hours," writes a Mich, music student. "Last September I was so nervous I could only practise a few minutes at a time, and mother said I would have to drop my music for a year. "This was terribly discouraging a3 I couldn't bear the thought of losing a whole year of study. Becoming convinced that my nervousness was caused largely by coffee, and seeing PoBtum so highly spoken of, I decided I would test it for a while. "Mother followed the directions carefully and I thought I had never tasted such a delicious drink. We drank Postum every morning instead of coffee, and by November I felt mere like myself than for years, and was ready to resume my music. "I now practise as usual, do my studying and when my day's work I s finished I am not any more nervous than when I began. "I cannot too highly recommend Postum to musicians who practise half a day. My father is a physician and recommends Postum to his patients. Words cannot, express my appreciation for this most valuable health beverage, and experience has proven its superiority over all others." "There's a Reason."

Stow, the famous autiquarian, au< thor of the "Survey of London," became ia his old age a licensed beggar,, asking alms from door to door "through 36 • counties." Wycherley, from being the spoiled idol of society, fell to the lowest depths of destitution, and was eventually consigned to the Fleet prison for debt, where he remained seven years.

Llorente, the learned and talented historiographer ot the inquisition, was glad during the close of his brilliant but unfortunate career to hire himself out for a few sous a night to keep watch over the dead bodies at the Paris morgue, and died eventually of starvation. Camoens begged his bread from door to door until compelled to take refuge iu an almshouse, where he died. ll is told of Hen Jonson that when in his last illness King Charles sent him a small sum ot money IIK returned it.

For some time, it is alleged, one of our prominent citizens has paid more or Ids* att ntion to a popular young charming lad/ ot tbis town. He now claims that be was not serious in his intentions and that be was not attached to her, but however that may have been tbe young lady becaine attached to him, and as he beems to bave lost interest in the matter she has attached bis property, which is a form of attachment that he does not enjoy. Tbe result is, that he finds himself the defendant in a firstclass Breach of Promise Case and bio questionable attitude towards tbe widow will be given an airing in the near future. The parties in the case are so prominent that it is leaved no court room will bold the vast crowd desirous ol attending the trial, so it will be bold in Pinckney Opera House, on Tuesday evening, April 7th, under the auspices of tbe Christian Endeavor Society for whose benefit tbe proceeds will be devoted. In other words, it will be a Mock Court Trial, and it promises to be one of the moBt enjoyable affairs of many years, as a large number of onr leading people will participate in the proceedings. The committee having the trial in charge have engaged Col, A. V. Newton, the well known lawyer-lecturer of Worcbeater, Mass,, to attend to tbe details and personally conduct the entertainment. Col. Newton has had remarkable success in conducting similar entertainments and without donbt the Breach of Promise Trial will be here as elsewhare, an event long to be remembered with pleasure. Barn Burned. Saturday evening while John Haseenscabl on the Sigler farm, south ot town, was milaing, the lantern ex ploded and m an instant of time tbe basement ot the barn was in fiamee. He bad bard work to pel the cows out of tbe stable but did however, although about 35 aheap in another part were shut off from escape and were burned. The flock was valued at $300. The barn burned to the ground and was a total Joss, amounting to about $1,000 with the sheep. The live stock was insured, and barn was insured for $400. T h e Uast Call. We Can Supply You With Corn Feed and Seeds This is the last call for those who bave not paid up their subscriptions according to the Post Office rulings. Nearly all have responded but there are a tew yet, who are back more than one year and according to the ruling we shall have to discontinue tbe paper the first of the year unless we receive tbe money or written request with promise to pay. If any are in such shape tbat tbey cannot pay at this time and yet desire tbe paper to continue, a written obligation with a date r set in which it will be paid, gives ns the privilege of continuing it. However it is the beat for both parties to pay up and then keep up. This is the year for the re-uoion of the old boys and girls and all shonld have the DISPATCH to keep posted on dates, program, etc. Do not pat off the matter of writing us, but DO IT NOW.

A Dangerous Errand. A city of hills with a fringe of houses crowning the lower heights; half-mountains rising bare in the background and becoming real mountains as they stretched away in the distance to right and left; a confused mass or buildings comiug t o the water's edge on the flat; a forest of masts, ships swinging In the stream; and the streaked, yellow, gray-gre«n _w.si.ter of the bay taking a cold light from the setting sun as it struggled through the wisps of fog that fluttered above the serrated, sky-line of the city—these were my first impressions of San Francisco. The wind blew fresh and chill from the west with the damp and salt of the Pacific heavy upon it, a s I breasted it from the forward deck of the ferry steamer, El Capitan. As I drank in the air and w a s silent with admiration of the jeautiful panorama that was spread before me, my companion touched me on the arm. "Come Into my cabin," he said. "You'll be one of those fellows w h o can't come to San Francisco without catching his death of cold, and then lays It on to the climate instead of his own lack of common sense. Come, I can't spare you, now I've got you here at last. I wouldn't lose you for a million dollars." "I'll come for half the money," 1 returned, as he took me by the arm and led mo into the close cabin. My companion, I should explain, was Henry Wilton, the son of my father's cousin, who had the advantages of a few years of residence in California, and sported all the airs of a pioneer. We had been close friendd through boyhood and youth, and If was on his offer ot employment that I had come to the city by the Golden Gate. "What a resemblance!"* I heard a woman exclaim, as wo entered the cabin. "They must be twins." "There, Henry," 1 whispered with a laugh; "you see we are discovered." Though our relationship was not close wo had been cast in the mold of some common ancestor. We were yo nearly alike in form and feature as to perplex all but. our intimate acquaintances, and we had made the resemblance the occasion of many tricks in our boyhood days. Henry had heard the exclamation as well as I. To my surprise, it appeared to bring him annoyance or apprehension rather than amusement. "'I had forgotten that it. would make us conspicuous," he said, more t o himself than to me, I thought; and hft glanced through the cabin a s though he looked for some peril. "We were used to that long ago," I said, as we found a seat. "Is the bu*ines3 ready for me? You wrote that you thought it would be in hand by the time I got here." "We can't talk about It here." he said in a low tone. "There is plenty ot work to be done. It's not hard, but, as I wrote you, it needs a man of pluck and discretion. It's delicate business, you understand, and dangerous if you can't keep your head. But the danger won't be yours. I've got. that end of it." "Of course you're not trying to do anything against, the law?" I said. "Oh. it has nothing to do with the law." he replied with an odd smllo. "In fact, it's a little matter in which •we?, are—well, you might say—outside the law." I gare a gasp at this distressing suggestion, and Henry chuckled as he saw the consternation written on my face. Then he rose and said: "Come, the boat is getting in." "Hut I want to know—" l began. "Oh, bother your 'want-to-knows.' •It's not against the law— just outside it. you understand. I'll tell you more of It when we get to my room. Give me that valise. Come nlon^ now." Anil as the boat entered the slip we found ourselves at the front of the pressing crowd that is always s«rging in and out of San Francisco by tho gateway of the Market SLrect ferry. As we pushed otir way through the clamoring hack-drivers and hotel-runners who blocked th* entrance to the crtv, I was ronsetl by tf sCuflden thrill of the Instinct of danger that warns OA« when he meets the eyf, .ofv a mm snake. It was gone In aninataat, bat I had time to trace efetlf t6*ta*ulfc. f" The warning came thjs\ t i m e ' {rwp thq eye* of a man, a lithe, keen-faced WHO* wjo| fla»h*u a look of triumphant mallce|^H tis a | he disappeared in the wa4Mag*ocW «* the ferry-shed. But the keen face and the basilisk glance were burned into my mind m that moment us deeply as though 1 had kuowu then what evil was behind them. My eoinpaniou swore sofii> to him self/ "What's the matter?" I asked. "Don't look mound, he said. We arp watched." "The snake-eyed m a n ? " i "Did you se« him, too?" His> manner was careless, hut his tone was troubled. "I thought 1 had given him the slip.l' he continued, "Weil, there's no help for it now." "Are we to hunt for a hiding place?" 1 "asked doubtrully. "Oh, no; not now. I was going to take you direct to my room. Now we are going to a hotel with all the publicity we can get. Here we are." In another moment we were in u lumbering coach, and were whirling over the rough pavement, through a confusing maze of streets, past long rows of dingy, ugly buildings, to the hotel. "A room for the night," ordered Henry, as we entered the hotel office and saluted the clerk. "Your brother will sleep with you?" inquired the clerk. "Yes." Henry paid the bill, took the key, and we were shown to our room. After removing the travel-stains, I declared myself quite ready to dine. "We won't need this again," said Henry, tossing the key on the bureau as we left. "Or no, on second thought," he continued, "it's just as well to leave the door locked. There might be some inquisitive callers." And we betook ourselves to a hasty meal that was not of a nature to raise my opinion of San Francisco. "Are you through?" asked my companion, as I shook my head over a melancholy piece of pie, and laid down my fork. "Well, take your bag. This door—look pleasant and say nothing." He led the way to the bar and then through a back room or two, until with a turn we were iu a blind alley. After a pause to observe the street before we ventured forth, Henry said: "I guess we're all right now. We must chance it, anyhow." So we dodged along in the shadow till we came to Montgomery Street, and after a brief walk, turned into a gloomy doorway and mounted a worn pair of stairs. The house was three stories In height. It stood on the corner of an alley, and the lower floor was intended for a store or saloon; but a renting agent's sign and a collection of old show-bills ornamenting the dirty windows testified that it was vacant. "This isn't just the place I'd choose for entertaining friends," said Henry, with a visible relief from his uneasiness, as we climbed the worn and dirty stair. "Oh, that's all right." I said, magnanimously accepting his apology. "It doesn't have all the modern conveniences." admitted Henry a s we stumbled up the second flight, " b u t it's suitable to the business we have in hand, and—" "What's that?" I exclaimed, as a creaking, rasping sound came from the hall below. We stopped and listened, peering into obscurity beneath. "Jt must have been outside," said Henry, and opened the door of the last room on the right of the hall. The room was at the rear corner of the building. There were two windows, one looking to tho west, the other to the north and oprnins; on the narrow* alley. "Not so had after you ger in," said Henry, half ns an introduction, half ] as an apology. "It's luxury after six days of railroading," I replied. "Well, lie down there, and make the mrrat of it. then," he said, "for there may b* tronbte ahead'." -And h e listened Rgain a t the crack of the rtoor. "In Heaven's name,"Henry, what'* op?" I exclaimed with «ome temper. "You're an .lull jrf ^uaynlpriea as u dime-novel.'**-". • o ,r- Henry wmlled grimly. "Maybe you don't recognize that ihis is serious bualuwcjtt»" he aaid. 1 was about to protest that 1 could not know too* Hineb, when Henry raised his hand with u warning to silence. J heard the bound of a cautious step outside. Theu Henry sprang to the door, liung \i open, and boiled down the passage. There was the gleam of a revolver in his hand. 1 hurried after him, but as 1 crossed the tlue&bojd he was cgming softly back, with linger on bis lips. "I must see to the guards again. 1 can have them together by midnight." "Can I help?" "No. J u s t w.alt here till I get back. Holt the door, and let nobody in but me. It isn't likely that they will try to do anything before midnight. If they do--well, here's u revolver. Shoot through the door it anybody tries to break it down." I stood In the door, revolver in baud, watched him down the hall, and listened to his footsteps a« they descended tiie stairs and at last faded away into the murmur of life that came up from the open street. C H A P T E R I I . A Cry f o r Help. I hastily closed and locked tho door. Theu 1 rallied my spirits with something of resolution, and shamed myself with the reproach that I should fear to share any danger that Henry was ready to face. Wearied as I was with travel, i was too much excited for sleep. Reading was equally impossible. 1 scarcely glanced a t the shelf of books that hung on the wall, and turned to a study of my surroundings. The room was on the corner, as I have said, and I threw up the sash of the west window and looked out over a tangle of old buildings, ramshackle sheds, and an alley that appeared to lead nowhere. Some sound of a drunken quarrel drew my attention to the north window, and I looked out into the alley. There were shouts and curses, and one protesting, struggling inebriate was hurled out from the front door and left, with threats and foul language, t o collect himself from the pavement. This edifying incident, which was explained to me solely bj* sound, had scarcely come to an end when a noise of creaking boards drew my eyes to the other window; The shutter suddenly flew around, and a human figure swung in at the open casing. "S-h-h!" came the warning whisper, and I recognized my supposed robber. It was Henry. "Don't speak out loud;" he said in suppressed toneg. "Wait till I fasten this shutter." "Shall I shut the window?" I asked, thoroughly impressed by his manner. "No, you'll make too much noise," he said, stripping off his coat and vest. "Here, change clothes with me. Quick! It's a case of life and death. I must be out of here in two minutes. Do as I say, now. Don't ask questions. I'll tell you about it in a day or two. No, just, the coat, and vest. There—give me that collar and tic. Where's your hat?" The changes were completed, or rather his were, and he stood looking as much like me as could be imagined. "Don't stir from this room till 1 come back," he whispered. "You can dress in anything of mine you like. I'll be in before twelve, or send a messenger if I'm not coming. By-by." He was gone before I could say a word, and only an occasional creaking board told me of his progress down the stairs. He had evidently had some practice in getting about quietly. I could only wonder, as I closed and locked the door, whether It. was the police or a private enemy that he was trying to avoid. I had small time to speculate on the possibilities, for outside tho window I heard the single word, "Help!" I rushed to the window and looked out. A hand of half a. dozen men was struggling and Ixtshing away from Montgomery Street into the darker end of the alley. They were nearly under the window. "Give it. to him." said a voice. In an Instant there came a scream of agony. Then a light showed and a tall, broad-shouldered figure leaped back. "These aren't the papers." it hissed. "Curse yon, you've got. the wrong m a n ! " There was n moment of confusion, and the light flashed on the man who had spoken and was gone, tiui the flash had shown me the face of a man I could never forget. It was a strong. cruel, wolfish fare—tho face of a man near sixty, with a fierce yellow-^ray mustache and imperial—a face hroa.l at the temples and tapering down in'o a firm, unyielding jaw, ami marked then with all the lines of rage, hatred, and chagrin at the failure of his plans. U took not a second to? me to see and hear and know all this, for ihe vision came and was gone in the drooping of an eyelid. And then there echoed through the alley loud crtet ot ••Police! Murdej»*3pf!9t" ? <w*r e o * adorns that there was a man running through the haH and clown the rickety staka, ' m a t f i g ' t o bfWdlng ring to t h * s a m e / t o e * £ ' J ; ft? will rtbus Mth a fejeliug or surprise that I found myself in the street, and came to know that the cries foi help had come from me, aud that. 1 was the man who had run through the hall and down the stairs shouting foi the poliee. The street was empty. Fortunately the policeman on the beat was at hand, and 1 bailed him excitedly. ."OiUy ro,liLnK a drunk," he said lightly, as I told of what 1 had seen. "No, it's worse than that I insisted "Yhei'e was murder done, and l"m afraid it's my friend." ' He liHttaed more attentively as 1 told him how Henry had i e r t th* house just before the cry for help had risen. "It's a nasty place," he continued- "It's lucky I've got a light.' Ht brought up a dark lautern from nib overcoat pocket, and stood iu the shelter of the building as he lighted it. "There's not many as carries em," lie continued, "but they're mighty handy at times." We made our way to the point be neath the window, where the uieu hail stood. Thei*? was nothing to be seen—no sign of struggle, no shred of torn clothing, no drop of blood. Body, traces and all had disappeared. C H A P T E R I I I . A Question in the Night. 1 was stricken dumb at this end to the investigation, and half doubted the evidence of my eyes. "Well," said the policeman, with a sigh of relief, "there's nothing herp. A suspected that his doubts of my sanity were returning. "Here is where it was done," I asserted stoutly, pointing to the spot where 1 had seen the struggling group from the window. "There were surely five or six men in it." "It's hard to make sure of things from above in this light," said the policeman, hinting once more his suspicion that 1 was confusing dreams with reality. "There was no mistaking that job," I s?.id. "See here, the alley leads farther back. Bring your light." A few paces farther the alley turned at a right angle to the north. We looked narrowly for a body, and then for traces that might give hint of the passage of a party. "Nothing here," said the policeman, as we came out on the other street. "Maybe they've carried him into one of these back-door dens, and maybe they whisked him into a hack here, and are a mile or two away by now." "Hut wo must follow them. He may be only wounded and can be rescued. And these men can bo caught." I was almost hysterical in my eager, ness. "Aisy, aisy. now," said the policeman, "tlo back to your room, now. That's the safest place for you, and you can't do nothin' at all out here. I'll report the case to the head office, an' we'll send out the alarm to the force. Now, here's your door. Just rest aisy. and they'll let you know if anything's found." And he passed on, leaving me dazed with dread and despair in the entrance of the fateful house. Once more In the room to wait till morning should give me a chance to work. I looked about the dingy place with a heart sunk t o the lowest depths. I was alone in the face of this mystery. I had not one friend in the city to whom I could appeal for sympathy, advice or money. Yet I should need all of these to follow this business to the end—to learn the late of my cousin, to rescue him. if alive and to avenge him, if dead. Then, in the hope that I might find something among Henry's effects to give me a clue to the men who had attacked him, I went carefully through his clothes and papers. But I found that he did not leave memoranda of his business lying about. The only scrap that could have a possible hearing on it was a sheet of paper in the coat he had changed with me. It bore a rough map, showing a road branching thrice, with crosses marked here and there upon it. Underneath was written: "Third road—eockneyed barn—iron cow." (TCi \>K f'ONTTNVrcn.)

ComiiiisaioiuT ol Immigiati-m, \yrinnil)es- Dear Sir: II ia with pleasure that I reply to your request. Some years ago I took up u houieaiead for myself- and also one lor inv aon. "Hap half seption which W$ own is situated between Kmileau and Drlukwater, adjoining l!u> Moose Jaw creek,, is a low level and heavy land. We put in 70 acres of wheat in stubble, which went 20 bushels IO the acre, and 30 acres of ssumnu. y frtjluw, which went 23 bushel* to i l l , acre, All the wheat we harvested i W year 'is No. 1 hard. That rri'eans Hie best wheal-Miat; can be raised on tlue&mb. We did nut sell any wheat yet as we./intend to keep one part for /11111 own seed, and sell the other part to people who want first-class seed, for there is no doubt if you sow good wheat you will harvest good wheat. We also threshed 9,000 bushels of first-class oats out of 160 acres. 80 acres has been fall plowing which yielded 90 bushels. • per acre, a^nd 80 acres stubble, which went LJ0 boshela io the acre. These oats are Hie best kind that can be raised. We have shipped three car loads of them, and got 5o cents per bushel clear. All OUT-grain was cut in the last week of the month of August before any frost could touch it. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had a late spring, and that the weather conditions this year were very adverse and unfavorable, we will make more money out of our crop this year than last. For myself 1 feel compelled to say that Western Canada crops cannot be checked, even by unusual conditions, I am. deai' sir. Yours truly, (Signed) A. Kaltenbrunner. W H Y T H E Y SLEEP IN CHURCH. Hypnotism,- Not Orowsinets, Declared to Be the Cause. "Churchgoers don't sleep in church. They undergo an hypnotic trance. The soothing' voices and mild rmisie and monotonous recitative of tt church service put forlh powerful hypnotic influences,' and that is why the pews resemble a railroad track in the abundance of the$r sleeper*," The speaker, a hypnotist, banged i lie table' vehemently. "Don't laugh," he saiil. "It's true. Hypnotism, not drowsiness, is what makes you sleep in church. Through \odr auditory nerve sound waves are I>ass"d to your brain that are as effective., a l t h o u g h a professional hypnotist 'fipd made them. Sound, you Unotf. is the newest and hest hypnotite. "Ait first, in the church service, the l.eritdieity of the wave alterations in short. There is n little speaking, ihcni more music. And just when you are setting properly lulled the clergyman, in a modulated, agreeable, soothing voice, speaks on and on and on— and you begin to nod. You are, hypno' icallv speaking, entranced. -Hie* average church service is 9 scientifically correct hypnotic instrument. No wonder, then, it puts many of ir& to sleep." Beyond Him.

His "pleading" occupied an entire day. After seven hours of almost continuous oratory he went home, at supper and was asked to conduct family worship. As he was exhausted his devotions were brief. I am ashamed of ye," said the old mother. "To think ye could talk for soeveri hoors up at the court, and dismiss your Maker in seeven minutes." "Ay. verra true," was the reply, "but ye maun mind that the Lord isna sae dull in l.he uptak as thae judge bodies." Druggis'.'s Generous Offer. "I am sorry tn disappoint, you," said the old-time druggist To the suitor for his; daughter's hand. "I can't let you have Amy because I've promised her' to ihe son of my partner, fiat I have five other daughters and gl?6 yem something just as good." One of ih«uhi-at UUugtt^the farmer must Iea.ru is that bollb differ greatly us to the kinds and quuntititjo of the plant foods they contain. This aeema to be one of the hardeat things to impress upon the laiuitu1. Over and over agaiu the mistake is made of buying u fertilizer because It haa given good results when applied to certain faiim*. in tact many of the fertilizer aellera put out literature that hoi* for its base the testimonials of giowera showing how many potatoes were.gruwu, or how much of other thiugs were grown, as a result of the use of the fertilizer. Soils differ so radically that it ia impossible to make a fertiliser mixture that will be suited to the production of a certain crop in all places. The ^supposition that such is possible is a delusion and a snare. Every farmer should try to read the reports, of the investigations of soils, that he may be able to form a true conception ot the needs of his soil. To show how enormously soils differ we have but to journey to different parts of the stale of Illinois or to an.> state where a soil survey has been made and experiments undertaken. Go down into the Kankakee marshes that have beeu drained and brought into cultivation. They have soil so rich in nitrogen that it is a loss of time to put on nitrogenous fertilizers, and $40 of blood per acre gave no results. But a little potassium made the soil bring forth ten fold. Just the opposite may be found in another county where the laud lacks nitrogen and has enough potassium. There the application of potassium had no effect while a little blood accomplished wonders. Many soils have both potassium and nitrogen, but lack phosphorus. This haa to be supplied before they will give returns of any consequence. As long as men buy fertilizers because they do well In some places, so long will they throw away a large part of their money. Soils differ in different counties, and they differ sometimes on the same farm, says Farmers' Review. Frequently one part of a farm is of one geological formation and another part of another geological formation. One may have been created a million years before the other was created One may be product of the grindings of thv glaciers, while another may be the result of the slow action of water depositing its silt little by little. One part of a man's farm may be rich in nitrogen, while another is starring for it. A man must know his land and what, is In it. « the sly miller mixer. Srtintoin tlie luxurintor.

In order to reduce the lots in ma- /mre to a minimum, ami also to economize in handling it, the general aim and practice nhould be to haul it directly from the stable to the Held and spread it at once. On the average farm the following of this practice all through the yea)- would result in less loss than any method that, could be pursued. Thf* use of_ rotted manure rather than fresh manure is desirable in connection with many market garden or vegetable crops, as it gives quicker results and with root, cvotfs will g i v a smoother and nicer product. Ma lure should be spread as soon as i.1 is hauled to the field. The practice of putting it in p'iles is objectionable because .f the loss that i* likely to oc eur.

HAPPY OLD AGE Most Likely to Follow Proper Eating. As old age advances, we require less food to replace waste, and food that will not overtax the digestive organs, while supplying true nourishment. Such an ideal food is found in Grape- Nnts, made of whole wheat and barley by long baking and action of diastase in the barley which changes'the starch into sugar. The phosphates also, placed up under the bran-coat of the wheat, are included in Crape-Nuts. but. left out of white flour. They are necessary to the building of brain and nerve cells. "I have used Grape-Nuts." writes an Iowa man, "tor S years and feel as good ami am stronger than 1 was ten years "ago. 1 .tin over 74 years old, and attend to my business every day. *.\mong myVusr'omo'rs I meet a man every day who i*..iiL\ year*. oftl and artiibutep his KOO<1 health to the use of fJrape-Nnts and Postnni which he has used for the hut. .*> years.

It has come to be a well understood i fact that farmers, poultry men and ' dairymen do not take kindly to advice troni mere theorists. Quite naturally j they want to know that the advice given cornea from practical and successful men. Experiments based on mere theories usually turn out costly failures, but when the same trouble that confronts yuu has been solved by another person and he offers to explain the secret of his success, it is greatly to your advantage to learn what that man has to say. More than thirty-six years ago when the Pratt Food Co. of Philadelphia started on its way to success it began the collection of information pertaining to the raising of poultry and livestock, which contained not only flattering tes tinionials of the superiority of the Pratt preparations, but in which the writers gave their experiences in the treatment of the various diseases peculiar to poultry, horses, cows, hogs, sheep, etc. These experiences coupled with the scientific research and work of expert veterinarians gave to farmers and others interested in poultry und live stock the most complete and valuable series of books on the several subjects ever published. Each book is the work of an authority, supple mented by thirty-six years' real experience of people who have tackled the everyday problems. The books tell everything that is knowable or discoverable about the diseases of poultry and all live stock and answer every question pertaining to their care and treatment. Ways and means for increasing the profits derived from poultry and live stock are given, and the reader who cannot obtain from every one of the books information that can be turned into dollars will be hard to find. There are five, hooks, .as follows. "Pratts New Poultry Book," "Pratt New Horse Book." "Pratts New Hog Book." "Pratts New Cuttle Book" and "Pratts New Sheep Book." Originally these books sold for -.V each, but for one week any one of them will be sent tree of charge to anyone who will send a postal card icquest for the book desired, to the Pratt Food Co., Dept.

Ills greatest pride Is a successful burglary and a prolonged drinking bout his most coveted reward. Jail offers no terrors to the dom. It is merely the result of being a bungler at his trade. The first attempt to reclaim the Maghaya doms in Champanin was made by Mr. (now Sir K.) Henry. He found the greater number of the adult members of the tribe were In jail. Every police officer was held responsible If any doms were found in his jurisdiction, with the result that aa soon as a dom was released from Jail he was usually returned thither nnder the bad livelihood sections. Agricultural settlements were established for the tribe, but they do. not •Mm to have been very successful as civilizing agencies.

CHAPTER IN.—Continued. Then followed some numerals mixed in a drunken dance with half the letters of the alphabet—-the explanation of the map, 1 suppose, in cipher, and as it might prove a clue to this dreadful business, I folded the sheet carefully in an envelope ami placed it in an inmost pocket. The search having failed of definite results, 1 sat with chair tilted against the wall to consider the situation. Turn it as I would 1 could make nothing good or it. There were desperate enterprises afoot of which 1 eould see neither beginning nor end. purpose nor result. 1 repented of my consent to mix in these dangerous doings and resolved that when i he morning came I would find other quarters, take up the search for Henry, and look for such work as might be found. It v/as after midnight when 1 had come to this conclusion, and, barring doors and windows as well as I could. I Hung myself on the bed to rest, and I sank into an uneasy slumber. When 1 awoke it was with a start and an oppressive sense that somebody else was in the room. The gasligh' that I had left burning had been put out. Darkness was intense. 1 sat upright and felt for matches that ] had .seeu upon the stand. In mother instant I was flung back upon the bed. Wiry fingers gripped my throat, and a voice hissed in my ear: "Where is he? Where is the hoy? Give me your papers, or I'll wring the life out. of y o u ' " I was strong and vigorous, and. 'hough taken at a disadvantage, struggled desperately enough to break the grip on my throat and get a hold upon my assailant. ' W h e r e is the boy?" gasped the voice once more; and then, as I made no reply, hut twined my arms about him my assailant saved all his breath for the struggle. We rolled to t h e floor with a thud that shook the house, and in this change of base I had the luck to come out uppermost. Then my courage rone as I found that I could hold, my man. I feared a knife, but if he had one he had not drawn it, and I was able to keep his hands too busy to allow him to get possession of it now. Finding that he was able to accomplish nothing, he gave a short cry and called ; -Conn!" 1 heard a confusion of stops outside, arid a sound an of a muffled oath. Tlem fhe door opened, there was a rush of feet behind me, and t h e flash of a* bull's-eye lantern. I released my enemy, and sprang back, to the corner where 1 could defend myself a: h.imr advantage. I could distinguish four dark figures of men; but, instead of rushing upon me as I stood on the defensive, they sejzp.i upon my assailant. I looken nn p vnting, and hardly able to regain mv breath. It was not half a minute hrn'v.-o my enemy was securely bound and gagged and carried out. One of th.' men lingered. "Han't take such risks." he said. "i wouldn't have your job. Mr. Wiiton. fi.r all the old man's money. If we had:.';, happened up here, you'd have h"-!-. done for this time." "In Hud's name. man. whnt does all tkio mean?" I gasped. The man looked at me in evident surprise.. - 'They've got a fresh sfart, I guess." he said. •"Ofceu'd--bettor-g«. ««mie»-of the men up here. Mr. Richmond sent iia up here to Uiinfc ttta letter." , h\q was xpne blleo^lv, and 1 leii in t i c UarkuGBs. " ! alttuoli a match, lighted t h e K&S Once lnort\ and, securing; the revolver, looked to the letter. The envelop*' bore no address. ! lore it open The lines were written in a woman's hand, and u fain*: but pe collar pe-rfume tube from the [taper. It bore, but these wordy: '"Don't makt the change until 1 see yuu. The money will be ready in the morning, He at 1he bank af (0::10." The note, puzzling as ir was, wua hardly an addition to my perplexities. It was evident thai I had been plunged into the center of intrigue, plot and counterplot. 1 was supposed to have possession of somebody's boy. A powerful and active enemy threatened me with death. An equally ac iive friend was working to preserve my safety. People of wealth were concerned. I had dimly seen a frag meat of he snuggling forces, ami it was plain that only a very rich person could afford the luxury of hiring the bravos and guards, who threatened and protected me. The fate of Henry showed the power of those who were pursuing me. Armed as we was with the knowledge of his danger, knowing, as 1 did not, what be had to guard and from what he had to guard it, lie had yet fallen a \iclim. f could not doubt that he was the man assaulted and slabbed in the alley below, bin the fact that no trace of hint or of the tragedy was to bo found guVe me hope that he was still alive. Yet, ni best, he was wounded and in the hands of enemies, a prisoner to the men who had sought his life. As I was hoping, speculating, planning thus, I was startled to hear a stop on the stair. The sound was not one that need be thought out of place in such a house and neighborhood, even though the hour was past four in the morning. Hut it struck a chill through me, and 1 listened with growing apprehension as it mounted step by step. The dread silence of the house that had cast its shadow of fear upon me now seemed to become vocal with protest against this intrusion, and to send waruine through the halls. At last the step halted before my door and a loud knock startled the echoes. With a great bound my heart threw off its tremors, and I grasped the revolver firmly: "Who's there?" "Open the door, sor; I've news for ye." "Who are you?" "Come now, no nonsense; I'm an officer." 1 unlocked the door and stepped to one side. My bump,of caution had developed amazingly in the few hours I had spent in San Francisco, and, in spite of his assurance, I thought best to avoid any chance of a rush from my unknown friends, and to put myself in a good position to use my re volver if necessary. The man stepped in and showed his star. He was the policeman I had met when I had run shouting into the street. "I suspicion we've found your friend," he said gravely. "You're wanted at the morgue." "Dead!" I gasped. "Dead as Saint Patrick--rest his sowl!" '..r ' , . - - J i X ^ J W W tiartton. "I urn not Wilton," I declared. * My uMme ia Dudley—GIlea Dudley.' At this announcement Detective ("origan turned to the policeman. "Jus*! step into Morris' room, Car sou, ami tell him I'm jjoiu* up iu the morgue.'' "Now," he continued, as the policeman closed the dixit behind him, "this won't do, Wilton. We've bud to over look a good deal, of course, but you needn't think you can play us for suckers all the lime." "Hut I tell you I'm noi " 1 begau, when lie interrupted me. "You can't make that go here," he said contemptuously. "And I'll tell you what, Wilton, { shall have to take you into custody if you don't come down straight to business. We don't want to chip iu ou tin* old man's play, of course, especially as we don't kuow wliat his game is." Detective Coogan appeared to regret this admission that he was not omniscient, and went on hastily: "You know as well as we do that we don't want any tight with him. lint I'll tell you right now thitL if you force a tight, we'll make it so warm lor him that he'll have to throw you o\erboard to lighten ship." Here was a line prospect conveyed by Detective Cuij^anV, picturesque confusion of metaphors. It I persisted in claiming my own name and person I was to be clapped into jail, and charged with Ilea veu-kiiows-what crimes. II 1 took my friend's name, 1 was to Invite the career of adventure of which 1 had just had a taste. And while this WHS flashing through my mind. I wondered idly who the "old man" could be. The note I had received was certainly iu a lady's hand. Hut if the lady was Henry's employer, it was evident that he had dealt with the police as the representative of a man of power. My decision was of necessity promptly taken. "Oh, well, if that's the way you look | at it, Coogan," 1 said carelessly, "it's j all right. I thought it was agreed i that we weren't to know each other." . This was a chance shot, but it hit. 1 "Yes, yes." said the detective, "t [ remember. Hut. you see, this is seri- \ ous business. Here's a murder on our hands, and from all I can learn it's on account of your confounded schemes. We've got to know where we stand, or there will be the Old Nick to pay. The papers will get hold of it, and then—well, you remember that shake-tip we had three \ years ago." "Hut you forget the 'old man.' " I re- | turned. The name of that potent I'm known seemed to be my only weapon j in the contest with Detective Coogan, i and I thought this a time to try its force. | "Not much, I don't!" said Coogan, visibly disturbed. "Hut if it comes to a choice, we'll have to risk a battle with him." | "Well, maybe we're wasting time over a trifle," said I, voicing my hope, i "Perhaps your dead man belongs ! somewhere else." { "Come along to the morgue, then," • said he. j "Where was he found?" I as^ed as ' we walked out of the City Hill. ! "He was picked up at about three ' o'clock in the back room of the Hurricane Deck—the water-front saloon, you know—near the foot of Folsom Street. Detective Coogan asked a number of questions as we walked, and in a few minutes we came to the undertaker's shop that served as the city morgue. "Here it is," said Coogan, opening a door. The low room was dark and chill and musty, but its details started forth from the obscurity as he turned up the lights. Detective Coogan's words seemed to come from a great distance as he said: "Here, you see, he was stabbed. The knife went to the heart. Here he was hit with something heavy and blunt; hut it had enough of an edge to cut the scalp and lay the cheek a-* M # ^ > n\, i • h • !

"Oh," I gasped. "I'm all right now." And I was aide to look steadily ai the gruesome surroundings and the dreadful burden on the slab. "Is Hits the man'.'" asked tective "Yes." "His name'.'" "Dudley James Dudley." I wa.- rpiite willing TO transfer the whole of my identity to the dead, and changed the (.liles to James.

I'd expect you to keep the straight facts to yourself, my boy." It was my turn to be astonished. "Well, that's my lookout." 1 said with assumed carelessness. "I don't see through you." said the detective with some irritation. "If you're playing with me to stop this inquiry by dragging in—well, we needn't use names—you'll find yourself in the hottest water you ever struck." "You can tlo as you please," I said coolly. The detective ripped out an oath. "If I iaiew you were lying. Wilton, I'd clap you in jail this minute." "Well, if you want to take the risks—" I said smiling. He looked at me for a full minute. "Candidly. I don't, and you kuow it," he said. "Hut this is a stunner on me. What's your game, anyhow0 " I wished 1 knew. "So accomplished a detective should not be at a loss to answer so simple a question." "Well, there's only one course open, as I see," he said with a groan. "We've got to have a story ready for the papers and the coroner's jury." This was a new suggestion for me and 1 was alarmed. "You can just forget jour little tale about the row iu the alley.' he continued. "There's nothing to showthat it had anything to do with this man here. Maybe it didn't happen. Anyhow, just think it was a dream. This was a water-front row—tough saloon—killed and robbed by parties unknown. Maybe we'll have you before the coroner for the identification, but maybe it's better not." I nodded assent. My mind was too numbed to suggest another course. The gray dawn was breaking through the chill fog, and people were stirring in the streets as Detective Coogan led t h e way out of the morgue. As we parted he gave me a curious lock. "I suppose you know your own business, Wilton,' he said, but I suspect you'd he a sight safer if I'd clap you in jail." And with this consoling comment he was gone, and I was left in the dawn of my first morning in San Francisco, mind and body at the nadir of depression after the excitement and perils of rhv night. ( T ( i HP. C i l N T I N T K n . i How the Root Graft Is Made. rust ration. Make a long, sloping cut at the butt end about 1¼ inches long. tapering to a point. Then cut a slit one-half inch long, parallel to the cut just made, forming a tongue, and with its point a little below the middle of the slope. Then, taking a piece of root five or six inches' long, cut it in precisely th*- same way as the sclou, so that t h e two fit together and correspond. Join scions and roots of the same size, so that the cut edges will fit well. If a number of scions are ctp at the same time it will be easier to find one which will fit each root as it is cur. .When mot and scion are fitted together, says Farm and Home, hold the graft firmly, and with the spliced part between the thumb and forefinger, take a piece of waxed thread in the right hand, put the end of it under the left thumb to hold it fast while the thread is passed around the graft and made to bind down the end. Wind the thread, or roll the graft in the left hand, so as to bind the cut surfaces together, and snap off the thread without tying it. as the wax will hold if in place. T h e tying is a very simple operation, and children can learn to do it. but cutting and fitting the graft should be done with care. Tie the completed grafts in bun dies and store away in sawdust or similar material until planting time, keeping them in a damp, cool place where they will not freeze, and where mice will not get at them. At freeplanting time set them out in rich, mellow soil, placing them deep enough to cover the point of union. If kept cultivated these grafts should make good growth the fi:\st season.

In the beginning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one oi these home-made remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area, LATTEBLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BU8DT&8S TOOK A MOEE EXACT AHD SCIENTIFIC FOE*. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The tale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. Peruna is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HATE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna. as F E R T I L I Z I N G W I T H CHARCOAL.

Are the results of our Collections. * -~ — The publishers of the DISPATCH are highly gratified with the manner that our patrons have accepted change made by the postal authorities in regard to the payment of subscriptions, compelling us to cut off all subscribers who have not paid up at least to within one year of date, that is we could not send a subscriber who was owing us one years subscription, tlm paper without placing a one cent stamp thereon. This seemed a little bard on the publishers of local papers, but wo with the rest, began a campaign to collect and the publishers of the DISPATCH are not only pleased, but perfectly satisfied with the outcome. We have not only received most of them but have added several new names to our list and think it will be the means of a growing circulation to every legitimate newspaper. We have been obliged, out of our 600 circulation, to cut off only 20 names and not one of those who paid up have asked ior, nor have we given a cents reduction from our advertised price—$1 per year. Where one was two or five dollars in arrears we have the $2 or the $5 to show that the amount has been paid—there has been no "six for a quarter1' or "any old price so that we may keep you on the list" deal with us. Every settlement has been pleasant and we have been treated courteously by all in our requests tor settlement. Where one has paid up and requested the paper discontinued, we shall discontinue it and if we fail to do so would ba glad to be notified at ones as our intentions are to do as we would be done by. Now, friends, we are starting in on a new era in our relation-, that is, we cannot send the paper to you longer than one year without pay, and that means that we shall notify you oftener than before as to when your time expires and you can compare it with your present receipt to see if we are in error. The DISPATCH has never been sent to anyone for leas than f l per year and we do not believe in lowering the standard of newspaperdom by doing so. The new law was made to catch the illegitimate paper or magazine that was run for advertising purposes only and no attention paid as to how they received their subscription list. The DISPATCH is not rnn as an advertising scheme, (as our columns will show) neither do we advertise it at $1 per year and sell it for 25 cents to one, 50 cents to another, etc. When we cannot make the DISPATCH worth f l per year to you, ask us to discontinue it. We have nothing but good words for our patrons and their treatment ot j us during the 18 >t.ars we have been publishers of the DISPATCH. We have more than doubled the business; have added hundreds of dollars to the equipment and there is no reason if we receive the continued support, why we should not make the paper as valuable, if not more so, to you than ever belore. Again we thank you for your promptness is replying to our call and assisting us in obeying the law. F. L. ANDREWS k Go., Pubs. A New Firm. Thrmday last the grocery stock and fixtures of H. M.

Doddridge Knapp. It was past ten o'clock of the morning when the remembrance or' the mysterious note 1 had received the preceding night came on me. I took the slip from my pocket, and read its contents once more. It was perplexing enough, but it furnished me with an idea, Of course I could not take money intended for Henry Wilton. Put here was the first chance to get at the heart of this dreadful business. The writer of the note, I must suppose, was the mysterious employer. !f f could see her I could find the way of escape from the dangerous burden of Henry Wilton's personality and mission. Hut which bank could be meant? The only names I knew were the Hank of California, whose failure in the previous year had sent echoes even into my New England home, and the Anglo-Californian Hank, on which 1 held a draft. The. former struck mo as the more likely place of appointment, and after some skilful navigating I found myself at the corner of California and Sansome streets, before the building through which the wealth of an empire had flowed. 1 watched closely ;he crowd that passed in and out of the treasurehouse, and assumed what I hoped was an air of prosperous indifference to my surroundings. No one appeared to notice me. There wore eager men and cautions men, and men who looked secure and men who looked anxious, but neither man nor woman was looking for me. Plainly I had made a bad guess. A hasty walk through several other banks that I could see in the neighborhood gave no better result, and 1 had to acknowledge that this chance of penetrating the mystery was gone. I speculated for the moment on what, the effects might be. To neglect an order of this kind might result in tha w i t h d r a w a l of the protection that had saved my Hfe, and in turning me over to the mercies of the banditti who thought. I knew something of the whereabouts of a boy. As I reflected thus, I came upon a crowd massed about, the steps of a great, granite building in Pine Street; a whirlpool of men, it seemed, with cross-currents and eddies, and from the whole rose the murmur of excited voices. It was the Stock Exchange, the gambler's paradise, in which millions were staked, won and lost, and ruin and affluence walked side by side. As I watched the swaying, shouting mass with wonder and amusement, a thrill shot through me. Upon the steps of the building, amid the crowd of brokers and speculators, I . s a w a tall, broad-shouldered man of fifty or fifty-five, bis face keen, shrewd and hard, broad at the temples and tapering lo a strong jaw, a yet'ow-gray mustache and imperial half-hiding and half-revealing the firm lines of the month, with the mirk "of the wolf strong upon the whole. It was a face never lo be forgotten as long as I should hold memory at all. It was the face f had seen twelve hours before in the lantern flash in the dreadful alley, with th*> cry uf murder rinfelnfc in my ears. Then it 'was lighted by the tierce fire3 of rage and hatred, and marked with the chagrin of baffled plana. New itwas cool, gpod-hamered, alert for the battle of the Exchange that had a l - ready begun.. Hut" J Knew It" tor fhV buiue, a a « V*» n?*r, crying aloud m a t tn*e wafe a fciurdfefer, • I clutohwf myJaeaiest neighbor by the arm, anil demanded tu know who it was. "Doddridge Knapp," replied the man civilly. "He's running the Chollar deal now, and if 1 could only guess which side he's on, I d make H fortune in the next few days. He's the King of Pine Street.'' While 1 was looking at the King uf the Street and llstenlug to my neighbor's tales of his operations, Doddridge Kuapp's eyes met mine. To my amazement there was a look uf recognition in them. Yet he made no s}gu, and in a moment was gone. This, then, was ihe enemy I was to meet! This was the explanation uf Detective Cooyan's hint that 1 should be safer in jail than free on the streets to face this man's hatred or revenge. 1 must have stood in a daze on the busy street, for 1 was roused by some one shakiii:v my arm with vigor. "Come! are you asleep?'' said the man. speaking in my ear. "Can't you hear?" "Y-c,s, yes," said 1, rousing iu> at fenlion. "The chief wauls you."' His voice was low, almost u whisper. "The chief? Who? When.*?' 1 asked. "At the CLy Hall?" J jumped to the conclusion that it was, of course, the chief of police, on the scent of the murder. "No. Of course not. In the second office, you know." This was scarcely enlig tening. Doubtless, however, it was a summons from my unknown employer, "I'll follow you," I said promptly. "I don't think I'd better go," said the messenger dubiously. "He didn't say anything about it, and you know he's vather—•" "Well, 1 order it," 1 cut in decisively. "I may need you." i certainly needed him at that moment if I was to find my way. "Go ahead* a few steps," I said. My tone and manner impressed him, and he went without another word. I sauntered after him with as careless an air, as I could- assume. My heart was beating fast. I felt that I was close to the mystery and that the next half hour would determine whether I was to take up Henry Wilton's work or to find my way in safety back to my ow . name and person. My unconscious guide led the way along Montgomery Street into an office building, up a flight, of stairs, and into a back hallway. "Stay a moment," J said, as he had his hand on the door knob. "On second thought.-, you can wait down stairs." He tur - 1 back, and as his footsteps echoed down the stair I opened the door and entered the office. As I crossed the threshold my heart gave a great bound, and I stopped short. Hofore me sat. Doddridge Knapp, the King of the Street, the man for whom above all others in the world 1 felt a loathing and fear. Doddridge Knapp finished signing his name to a paper on m- desk before be looked tip. "Come in nnd sit down," lie said. The voice was alert and business like —the voice of a man accustomed to command. Hut 1 could find no trace of feeling in it, nothing that could tell me of the hatred or..desperate purpose lhat would inspire such a tragedy as I had witnessed, or warn me of danger to come. "Do you hear?" ho said impatiently; "shut the door and sit . own. .hist spring that lock, will yon? We might be interrupted." f T was n t at ml certain that I should } not wish very earnestly hat. he might j be interrupted in what Pre' Harfe ' would call Ihe "subsequent proceed- ' ings." Hut. 1 followed his directum*. I Doddridge Knapp war, not less im- j niessive at close view than at long ! range. The strong face grev stronger! when seen from the near distance, ~ "My "dear Wilton," he snid, "I've come to a place where I've got to trust somebody, so I've come hack to you." The voice war, oily and persuasive, but the keen gray eyes atoot out a glance Irpnv u a d e t Uip. U*ahjng eyebrows that ih.rilj.ed me as a warn lug "It's very kind of you," i said, swallowing my astonishment with on c r fort. "Well," said Knapp, "the way you hondled that Ophir m a t t e r was perfectly satisfactory; but I'll tell you that it's on Mrs. Kuapp's say-so, as much us ou your own doings, that i selected you for this job." "I'm much obliged tu Mrs. Knapp," 1 said politely. 1 was in deep waters. It was plainly unsafe to do anything but drift. "Oh, you can settle thai with her at your next call," he said good hu uiorediy. The jaded nerves of surprise refused to respond further. 11 I hud re eeived a telegram informing me that the dispute over the presidency had been settled by shelving both Hayes and Tllden and giving the unanimous vote of the electors to me, 1 should have accepted it as a matter of course. 1 took my place uuquestion iagly us a valued acquaintance of Doddridge Kuapp's and a particular friend of Mrs. Kuapp's. Vet it struck me as strange that the keen-eyed King of the Street had tailed to discover that he was not talking To Henry Wilton, but to some one else \ ho resembled him. There were enough differences in features and voice to distinguish us among intimate friends, though there were not enough to be seen by casual acquaintances. I had the key in the next sentence he spoke. "1 have decided that it is better this time to do our business face to face. 1 don't want to trust messengers on this affair, and even cipher notes are dangerous,—confoundedly dangerous." Then we had not been close acquaintances "Oh, by the way, you have that other cipher yet, haven't you?" he asked. "No, burnt it," I said unblushingly. "That's right," he said, "it was best not to take risks. Of course you understand that it won't do for us to be seen together." "Certainly not," I assented. "I have arranged for another office. Here's the address. Yours is Room 15. I have th/j key to 17, and Hi is vacant between with a 'To Let' sign on it. They open into each other. You understand?" "Perfectly," I said. "You will ha there by nine o'clock for your orders. If you get none by twelve, there will be none for the day." "If I can't be there. I'll let you know." I was off my giu : d for a moment, thinking of the possible demands of Henry's unknown employer. "You will do nothing of the kind," said Doddridge Knapp shortly. His voice, so smooth and businesslike a moment before, changed suddenly to a growl. His heavy eyebrows came down, and from under them flashed a dangerous light. "You will be there when 1 tell you, young man, or you'll have to reckon with another sort of customer than the one you've been dealing with. This matter requires prompt and strict obedience to orders. One slip may ruin the whole plan.1' "You can depend on me," 1 said with assumed confidence. "Am I to have any discretion?" "None whatever." I had thus far been able to get no hint of his purpose. If I had not known what I knew, 1 should have supposed that his mind was concern trated on the apparent object before him—to secure the zeal and fidelity of an employe in some important business operation. "And what, am I to do?" ! asked. "Be a capitalist," he said with an ironical smile. "Huy and sell what I 1 ell you to buy and sell. Keep under cover, but. not too much tinder cover. Yon can pick your own brokers. Better begin with Hockstein anil Eppner, though. Your checks will be honored at the Nevada Hank. Oh, here's a cipher in case I want lo write you. I suppose you'll want, some ready money." Doddridge Knapp was certainly a liberal provider, for he shoved a handful of Twenty-dollar gold pieces across the desk in a way that made my eyes open. "By the way," ho continued, "1 don't think 1 have your signature, have I?" "No. sir," 1 replied wirb prompt confidence. I "Well, just write it on this slip \ I hen. I'll turn il into the bank for, your identification. You can take t h e ! check-hook with you.'' j "Anything more?" \ "That's all, ' he replied wirb a nod : of dismissal. "Maybe it's to-morrow. -mawbe it's next month." j And 1 walked out into Mont.gome y Street, bewildered among the con- I dieting mysteries in which I had been \ em tangled. j CHAPTER VI. A Night at Borton's. Room la was a plain, comfortable office in a nlaln. comfortable bulldim* on Clay Street, not far from t h e heart "of the businpf* - diatrict. - I t wan -on the second flupr, and its one window opened to thfjreax, and faced a desolate assortment bT back 'yards, reaf w t f 4 / i w ^ i f i l l a l y lltQrways. Tha rtoofj -had "\>t JwoA ctfrpet, and there wa« tt*rtt*k;ufc'f<|<r chairs and a shell of law books. The place looked as though it huu belonged to a lawyer in reduced circumstances, and 1 could but wonder how it had come into the possession" of Doddridge Knapp, and what had become of the former occupant. i tried to thrust t.side a spirit ol melancholy, and looked narrowly tc the opportunities ottered by the IUOIIJ fur attack and defense. The wallt were solidly built. The window-case meut showed an unusual depth tor a building of that height. rl nv wail luvi been put in to withstand an earthquake shock. The door opening intc the hall, the door into Room Hi, and the window furnished the three ave tines of possible attack or retreat. The depression of spirits that pro greased with my survey of the room deepened into gloom as 1 lltmg mysoll into 1 he arm-chair before the desk and tried to plan some way out of tht tangle in which 1 was involved. How was I, single-handed, to contend against the power of the richest man in the city, and bring homo to him the murder of Henry Wilton": I could look for no assij^anct from the police. The words o! Detective Coogun were enough U show that only the most convincing proof of guilt, backed by fear of pub lie sentiment, could bring the depart inent to raise a linger against him And how could 1 hope to rouse thai public sentiment'.' What would m> word count against that of the Kins of the Street? Where was the motive for the crime? Cntil that was made clear 1 could not hope to piece together the scraps of evidence into a solid struc ture of proof. And what motive could there be that would reconcile the Doddridge Knapp who sought the life of Henry Wilton, with the Dodd ridge Knrpp of this morning, wht was ready to engage him in his con fidential business? And had I the right to accept any part in his bust ness? Fatigue and loss of sleep deepenet the dejection of mind that .oppressed me with these insistent questions, anc as I vainly struggled against it, car ried me at last into the o' livion ol dreamless slumber. The next I knew I was awaking te the sound of breaking glass. It wras dark but for a feeble light that came from the window. Every bone in m> body ached from the cramped positlor in which I had slept, and it seemec an age before; I could rouse myself tc act. It was, however, but a seconc before I was on my feet, revolver ir. hand, with the desk between me anc a possible assailant. Silence, threatening, oppressive surrounded me as 1 stood listening watching, for the next move. "I thought the transom was open,' .""•id a low voice, which still seemee to be struggling with suppresses laughter. "I guess it woke him up." said an other and harsher voice. "I heard i noise in there." "You're certain he's there?" askei the first voice with another chuckle "Sure. Dicky. I saw him go in ami Porter and I have taken turns tt watch ever since." "Well' it's time he came out," sab: Dicky. "He can't be asleep after that racket. Say!" he called, Harry! What's the matter with you? If you're dead let us know." They appeared friendly, hut I hes dated in framing an answer. (TO B E C O N T I N n : ! ) . } BEARS EXPECT HARD W I N T E R . IW&BD tUGED, ON TRIAL REPFUt&ENTATU** CHA8.JE.

The long delayed trial of Rei>- Chas. K. Ward, or Bancroft, was be gun before Judge Connolly in the rec eider's court of Detroit Tuesday morn ing. Mr. Ward is charged with man slaughter. On April 22, 1907, Edith Presley, a stenographer in the employ of the legislature at Lansing, was criminally operated upon In the Hope Sanitarium or some other place in Detroit. A week later, on April 29, she died in the sanitarium from the ef f e d s id the operation. Two men were held responsible for her death: Dr. Ceorge A. Flitch and Hep. Charles K. Ward. The former is accused of having performed, the lat ter of having procured the criminal operation. Technically both are charged with manslaughter. The relations of Ward and Mis? Presley exceeded the bounds of platonic friendship and Ward's letters to the young woman found among her be. longings breathe the most ardent affection man is capable of entertaining toward a woman^To what extent ha is legally responsible for Miss Presley's death now remains for a jury tc determine. A year haw passed since the tragic event, a n - the hand of fate has since dealt harshly with the defendant. His wife's father has since died, his own father died, and he himself, by the unsettled state of his own future, has moved about from one place to another. He is now employed in Chicago, where his father and fath er-in-law had extensive interests. He came into court hooking as well and cheerful as h£ ever did, however. All traces of nervousness and anxiety, which a year ago reduced him to a physical wreck and brought on him a severe spell of sickness, have disap peared. Mrs. Ward, a gooddooking and charming young woman, accompanied him to t i e court room, and took a seat at his side at the table. She follows the proceedings with great Interest and with a woman's keen eye scrutinizes the jurors as they are being examined. Ward Is represented as formerly by State Senator Arthur Tuttle, Rep. William C. Manchester and James A. Murtha. Assistant Prosecutor Phattk D. Eatnan is safeguarding the lntereats of th© people. Besides, Trees Are Putting on Extr^ Thick Bark. Jim Tompkins, the Mt. Hood woods man whose prediction last fall of a hard winter was verified, is again out with a pronunciamento to the ef feet that the routing winter will discount that of last year and will in ef fee; he a "peeler." Mr. Tompkins again bases his pre diction on the habits of the bears which he state's are more numerou? in the lower valley than last year and are foraging almost in the dooryards of ranchers 1o fatten up for a "powerful spell of killin' weather." "Them snowstorms, we had last winler," says Mr. Tompkins, "won't be a marker to what we'll ketch this winter Every sign known to natur' is hollerin' it out loud, and the bear?; comin' iu close to town is a sure sign, "Another is the bark on the trees.

The president sent to the senate Tuesday the Venezuelan correspondence called for by the I.odgn resolution. It covers the history of the five American claims which this government has sought in vain to have President'Castro agree to arbitrate. The famous Calhoun report is made public. This does not absolve the asphalt trust front l«Uni.» in inciting the Mat".* rebellion. Strong language is used by Mr. Calhoun in urging a vigorous prosecution of all these claims and he holds that: "The time has come for language stronger than lhat employed in a request. * * * and iT the demand be met with procrastination or refusal, the dignity nf this government would seem to require prompt and vtgoroita action." He quotes Secretary Fish as saying: "It is useless to attempt to exhaust justice in a country where there is no justice to exhaust." No suggestion or recommendation is made by either President. Roosevelt or Secretary Root in transmitting the* correspondence to the senate. Root'*; letter enumerates the documents which are transmitted and the president's letter is simply a formal statement that the resolution of Senator Lodge has been complied with. peared, before his mother one day his little face guiltily painerl and a scratch upon his hand.

Senator Jeff Davis, the central figure in the political maelstrom of Arkansas, whose waning power is being heralded in all sections, got a severe pummeling Tuesday noon in a fight with Thomas Helm, assistant prosecuting attorney of Little Rock. Tht1 senator, covered wit* blood, appeared in Dr. Runyon's office. He needed medical attention. The fight, in which Davis got. the worst of it, was witnessed by many. All .luring the campaign in Arkansas ihe senator has been "hitting the high spots." it is said, and really is hi no condition for a fistic engagement. It was necessar> io send tn the senator".-? home for clean linen. There is talk ol gun play. The outbreak may develop into otic of the most, disastrous of Arkansas feuds.

Henry VIII. of Kngland, l>eing at one time at variance -with Francis I. of France, decided to send an ambassador and to charge him with a very tierce and menacing message to this prince. He chose for this office an English bishop in whom he had great conildence ami whom he believed would be the most proper person to carry out his design. II1H prelate, being informed of the nature of Ids mission and fearing for his life should he treat with Francis ia the haughty manner his master desired, represented to the king th" danger to -which he was exposing him and begged not to be sent on this mission. "Oh, never fear," said Henry. "If the king of France should kill you, I will have the head of every Frenchman I find in in.v kingdom."

Death Was On His Heels. Jesse P . Morris, nf Skippers, Va. had a close call in the spring nf 1906. He says: " A n attack of pneumonia left me so weak and with such a fearful cough that my friends declared consumption had me, and death was on my heels. Then I was persuaded to t r y Dr. Kings New Discovery.

The Hebrew name of M wan Mem, water, and it la curious to uote that the original form of this character in the most ancient manuscript is a waving line, which to the not too particular ancients represented water. By some philologists the letter M as used by the Phoenicians la supposed to have come from a picture representing t h e human face, the two down strokes representing the contour of the countenance, th'.; V stroke signifying the nose, the two dots, long since disused, and a stroke beneath the V representing the eyes and the month. The old Phoenician form of the letter does Indeed bear a comical sort of resemblance to the human face. Tho Cure.

This meant surer death to Peter than to the minister, for the attempt might nol be successful, whereas, whether he succeeded or not, lie would undoubtedly he fctruck down by the guards or, if taken alive, be ex- •cutod. If lie refused to do the deed he would be killed by the band from which' he had received the order. "There must be some way out of this." said Anna. "We must set our wits to work." "There is no way to do the work but by bomb, and that"— "There are always more ways than one of doing anything. You know, my father is an inventor, l i e has invented many strange devices, but nothing that has thus far given us money. Perhaps he may now invent some safe way of killing the minister without exposing him who kills." "Poison is the only means for doing that, and it Is impossible to get near enough to these people to poison them. Besides, they a r e too careful of what they eat." ( Anna went to her father, told him of her trouble aud asked him to concentrate his mind on some method of ridding Kussia of the tyrant that would not reveal the perpetrator of the deed. The inventor adored his daughter and needed no other spur to sharpen his wits. He pondered several days, then Jtold Anna that if he could get a cane used by the minister he would have a good chance of success. The next day Anna went to the office of the minister. Her object was to steal his walking stick. She ^ot to the oltlce before his arrival and waited In an anteroom, but when he came he was without n cane. Then she went to his residence to apply for a position as servant. She got into the hall, where she saw a number of canes in a stand. She also succeeded In interviewing the major domo, but this interview she did not value Then shi watched for days for the minister t< enter or come out of his house to observe what walking stick, if any, he used. Finally she saw him emerge for a walk, and he carried a cane. It was one with a gohthead. She went again to the house o*n different pre' nded errands and at last succeeded In stealing the gold headed cane. That the minister seldom used a cane was evident; from the fact that It was ten days before it was missed. This Anna inferred, since after that time phe saw an advertisement of its loss. Evidently the minister supposed that ho had left it somewhere inadvertently. This, if so, was fortunate. Orloff took the cane to his workshop and In a few days returned it to his daughter. "Give it to Peter," he said, "but tell him to keep it: in an upright position. On no account permit It to become horizontal unless it is to lie used to kill. Rut if it is to be so used unscrew the top slightly." The question now arose how to get the cane back to the minister without being connected with Its return. If the minister was killed In handling it, the person who had returned It would be hunted down. This plan was finally decided on: Anna In watching for the minister's ingress and egress to and from his home had noticed that he came and went at fixed hours. He usually returned from his office a t 4 o'clock In the afternoon and either walked or drove out. In this he wasi very punctual. One day Peter watched his opportunity and a few minutes prior to the minister's expected return stood t h e cane up in n corner against his door. When the minister returned and saw it he started. He was surprised and puzzled, not. understand ing the manner of its return. He was In such constant danger from tho terrorists that he became at once suspicions. Of what? Simply the mystery attending the manner of the cane's return. He took it into the house ami. without laying It down, went, directly to t h e telephone to communicate with the police. This done, he threw the rane on n lounge and started upstairs. He had barely left the room, placing a brick wall between htm and It, when there was a terrific explosion, blowing eut the front windows. The minister Was nnharmed. At a subsequent meeting of the terrorist circle which had given the order for the assassination Peter MarienlefP was considered to have made an inirenlus attempt and to have served his turn. 'Being called upon for an exflanatlon of his methods, he told of the stealing of the minister's cane and julded: "The stick was bored; a metal flask containing a liquid wa» Inserted which' could only pour from an orifice In the" to]> of the flaak. T h e tia»k Itself w i l Imbedded lu a powder that would ex- 'plode when the liquid touched it. Thia ! could not be till the top of the cane f was loosened from the orifice and the I »tlck was placed In u horizontal posl-l tkm. When the minister threw it ou the lounge it uatnimed this position, and * In u few seconds the qxploslon took place. Those few seconds were aufnclent to save the minister's life."

'But,'" liobsori persisted, "1 am will iiig to run t h ' e ' m k n ' "But I am not," Allie returned with spirit, "besides, what an ignominious end It would be to all my aspirations, and all my hard work a t college, for me to simply get mftT^ied.,, No pen could describe the acorn which ahe threw into those last two WOMIS. 'You surely would not forget your Latin and Greek any sooner simply because you married, would you?" Hob- SOT4 argued. "I fail to see how matrimony would interfere with any of your aspirations." "I tell you I will never marry; 1 am going to try and make the world better for having lived in it," returned Miss Bowen, grandly. "Don't you think it would be only fair if you were to tell me something of your plans?" Mr.. Hobson continued presently. "You have never eVen given me an outline of your aspirations." The girl looked at him suspiciously, but his face was perfectly grave. "Well," she commenced energetically, "when I first went to college 1 did not think any more about such matters than other girls; but in a year or two I commenced to see what a useless life I had always led. As I saw what nobility there was in the lives of the distinguished women I met at our receptions and reunions, my brain and mind expanded, and then I learned that I could never settle down to a cdmmcmpiaw life agaU*. I thought it all over carefully, and wondered what I was meant to be for. I wished to make no mistake, and I concluded that it was my duty to go and help nurse our soldiers in the Filippines., ,But the war was ended before" I'harT secured papa's consent, and now I really feel that it is my mission to go and teach these poor, ignorant Filipinos; but papa absolutely refuses, will not listen to such a proposition, and Henrietta "You Would Be. in Great Demand in Cripple Creek." is .lust as bad.

It was with difficulty that he refrained from taking this "new woman" in his a n u s in the old-fashioned way. Allie had been in a chronic state of riding a hobby without curb or bridle ever since her return from Yassar. She gave readings and recitations only to prove the capacity of woman for independence. Her father was Clifton's leading citizen, so there was no want of money, but Miss Bowen would not accept a penny she did. not earn. She looked on men as creatures to be endured and freely denounced love as a delusion and marriage as a mistake, binding people together so as to have double misery and hardship aud only a single chance to rise. Her father laughed at her goodnaturedly; her sister Henrietta, said: "You will get over it in a few months, wait until Bob Hobson comes out of the west. The girls were perfectly wild about him last year." Robert Hobson was not a man who was easily daunted, and he had not weathered two strikes in ('ripple Creek without learning a little diplomacy. But the training of four years was not to be broken up In a few days, nor weeks, as he discovered. And the next month he went back to Colorado alona, in anything but a cheerful frame of mind. Allie's father expostulated mildly once or twice, and her sister Henrietta lectured her soundly, for she knew that it was not every day that the right man falls in love with a girl. Henrietta's handsome young husband had closed his eyes forever on this world during the springtime of their lives, and although electing to travel life's journey henceforth alone, she desired for her sister the happiness that had been hers for so brief a period. After Robert's departure Allie did not appear to find the usual pleasure In her various fads. Somehow they seemed less important than formerly, and her plans for remodeling the world were in danger of falling through, when one day as she returned from delivering a lecture on Higher Kthies before the Ladies' Aid society her father entered the room with a newspaper In his hand and asked her if she could be brave. Instinctively her thoughts flew to Robert, and she held out a shaking hand for the paper. It contained a short, article with glaring headlines, telling that the mining*camp of Cripple Creek, Col., had been almost entirely destroyed by fire. Several lives had been lost and many lay at the point of death. The fire department, had proved inadequate to contend with the flames, and the miners had turned out bravely to help. One, the superintendent, of the Anaconda mine, by the name of Robert Hobson, while trying to rescue some children from the second story oi the Palace hotel, had fallen through and was carried out. almost, lifeless. That was all. Not a word to tell whether he died after that or not. "My Clod, save him and forget me!" gasped the girl, sinking to the floor and burying her face in the couch. J A moment later she was on ner feet again; her eyet heavy, juUerable, but reaolutff. »• "Father, I am golug to atar.t for Col ori*Jo tb-nliM- If .you cm»00t go with me, Henrietta will!" Apd Heurietta did. In A few hours they were lu a Pullman on a westbound train. They left it for a stage at picturesque Manltou on the mora lug of the third day, but Allie had no eyes for the grandeur of the moiinlaina; the long journey wus a, tragedy ro her. All day long the stage, going at n moderate pace, befitting the severe grudeb of the primitive road, literally climbed into the recesses of the Rockies; traversed deep canyons, and clung to narrow shelves cut on the side of the rocky barrier. Toward evening it dashed noisily down the side of a Hteep mountain and rolled iuto a charred, blackened, smoldering, forsaken-looking place, with only a few isolated cabins left to murk the once nourishing town of Cripple Creek. In the tent which served fin the stage office, the slaters learned where I he invalids were being cared for, and thither they went. When they reached the- entrance of the shack Allie sank down on the rough step. -"I cannot go another step, Henrietta," she said. It was not necessary, for just at that moment the door opened, and on the threshold stood a tall young man with a bandage across his forehead, a scar on one cheek, and his right arm in a sling-—a pitiful-looking object, truly. Allie sprang to her feet. "Bob!" she cried. Henrietta strolled away to inspect the ruins. "Dearest," Hobaon said, when earth and heaven had oncQ more assumed t h e i r proper relationship, "your aspirations will be realized after all. I am badly in need of a nurse, and as soon as I'm uble to tmvel we will take Henrietta with -ws and visit the Philippines—on our wedding trip, you know." Cocktail* for His Tobacco. Barkeepers, when they become confidential, usually tell good stories, says the New York Tribune, and he Is a novice who does not carry bar secrets under his jacket and who does not know stories about the men who come In "to see what time It is." "Now, there," said a whlte-aproned total abstainer member of the profession pointing to a tin box on t h e . glass shelf, "is one of my regular customers —this tin box." In answer to the look of inquiry he said": "It belongs to a man who never takes a drink, but who smokes a lot of cigarettes, which ho rolls himself. Every little while hn gets a box full of some particular kind of tobacco and comes here and orders a cocktail of his own invention. He empties the drink Into the box, watches the tobacco absorb it; then hands me the box, which I keep till he returns in the evening and takes it home. No cherry goes with the cocktail, and nlthough I've never known the tobacco to curl up and And fault "because the drink was too dry or too sweet, I mix it as carefully as / do those for our ( rank customers." English Baronetage. The English baronetage is fairly fruitful of romances. A cabman baronet who resides at Burton-on-Trent, Sir Walter Tyrell, can trace his descent, from the Sir Walter Tyrell whose arrow killed William Rufus in the New Forest so many centuries ago. The ancient borough of Tamworth boasts a tobacconist baronet, Sir Harry Goring, who serves working men customers with ounces of thick twist, his family estate having long ago vanished into the ewigkeit. The master of t h e Whitby Union workhouse, John Lawson, has ,\ well-founded claim to a baronetcy conferred in Stuart, times. Sir Thomas Kchlln. who died last year, was a constable in the ranks of the royal Irish constabulary, and the seventh holder of a haronetcy conferred so far back as 1721.—London Mainly About People.

"About twelve or fifteen j e a r s ago I had a breaking-out, and it Itched, and stung so badly that I could not have any peace because of it. Three doctors did not help me. Then I used some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and began to get better right away. They cured me and I have n6t been bothered with the itching since, to amount to anything. About two years ago I had la grippe and pneumonia which left me with a pain In my side. Treatment ran it Into my leg, which then swelled and began to break out. The doctor was afraid it would turn to blood-poison. I used his medicine but it did no good, then I used the Cuticura Remedies three times and cured the breaklng-out on my leg. J. F.

TtK other was with the company which was the first to arrive upon the field. The scene of the battle was inde Kcribably horrible. The ghastly nude bodies of the dead lay about in a man ner to Hiclten the soul. They had been stripped, scalped and mutilated according to the custom of the savages The young Irishman wandered hope lessly about in this tearful chariiel place in despair of finding his friend All at once he discovered a body neither scalped nor stripped, but with - i t s limbs decently composed as if by a kindly hand. He recognized it as tLat of his comrade. On the quiet breast lay the gold crucifix of the pope, attached to the slender chair on which it had always been worn. The squaws engaged in stripping the bodies had discovered the hol> emblem hung about the young man's net'h; and awed at the sight of it, hao feared to wreak their usual horrors upon him. They had straightened his limbs and left him without the dis figuring marks of the tomahawk. The friend of the dead man took tht crucifix and a lock of his comrade'* hair and sent them to thru young mar fyr's mother in Ireland. It was said by those who looked on that the Indians who spared the < orpse because of the crucifix must have been those who had come undei the training of the famous Father l)i Smet, since he had given the ravages among whom lie worked such a deep though ignorant, reverence for th< < IOHS, that they would never dare ti maltreat a body on which it was found Time to Pick Up Barflain Curios.

Good Humor and Cheerfulness from Right Food. Cheerfulness is like sunlight. It disinds the clouds from the mind as sunlight chases away the shadows of night. The good humored man can pick up and carry off a load that the man with a grouch wouldn't attempt to lift. Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness- and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes: "Four years ago i was practically divert up by my doctor and was not expected to live long. My nervous system was in a bad condition. "Hut I was young and did not want to die so I began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. I used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell it would take me days l>efore I could sit up in a chair. "I became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided to stop it and bought some Post urn. "The first cup, which 1 made according to directions, had a soothing effect on my nerves and 1 liked the taste. For a time I nearly lived on Postum and nte little food besides. 1 am today a healthy woman. "My family and relatives wonder if ! am the same person 1 was fouv years ago. when \ could do no work ou account of nervousness.

A Striking illustration of True Neighbor Hnaa*, W w Sffcwri In t H c C f a a of Mrs. Walker of Georgetown. Mrs. Walker hud rateetf <Jaite a brood of chickens, expecting-to secure aufflcient eggs, wbeu they were ararcp, to help pay the intercut on her mortgage. Kui a cold spall came along, and just at the time when eggg began to get high Mrs. W a l k e r s hens stopped laying. Not one could she get even for her own table. She was almost in despair when Mrs. Richards called, and when she sadly told her troubles, Mrs. Richards didn't look sad—on the contrary, she looked very cheerV, and exclaimed, "Why that's exactly the trouble I had a year ago, but 1 managed to overcome it." "What did you do?" anxiously Inquired Mrs. Walker. "Well, 1 told my troubles to Mr. Johnson, our dealer, and he said, Why 1 have the -v«ry thing yo\r'iJee&. Many of- my customers have had the same difficulty iu the past, but they don't have the trouble after using this preparation. As a matter of fact, I will pay back every cent of the money if ii does not do the work.' "Well, I just concluded that I couldn't be running any risk, and so I ordered Pratts Poultry Regulator and began to feed it. Within two days 1 could tell the difference in the appearance of the chickens, aud in one week my hens were laying regularly, and I was getting a large number of eggs when they •were selling at 40c a dozen. My advice is, order the same Pratts Poultry Regulator (be sure it's Pratts, because there are so many that are worthless), and my confidence is so great that I'll also agree to see that you are not obliged to pay for it if it doesn't do what is claimed." Mrs. Walker followed her neighbor's advice, got some Pratts Poultry Regulator, (with the dealer's guarantee), and in a short time had earned enough from the sale of eggs to meet her mortgage interest. And now Mrs. Walker is telling all her neighbors about her "good fortune" and how it was due to the use of Pratts Poultry Regulator. And Mrs. Walker has also been greatly benefited by the valuable information she found in Pratts New Poultry Book, which is sent free to any one writing to the Pratt Food Company, Dept R, Philadelphia, Pa.

The ludy hud changed her mind, but, womanlike, could not or would not give a reason. One day later on Falkner asked his wife where the letters he had once written her were- those she had commended so highly. A friend—an editor —had expressed a desire to see them. Mrs. Falkner could not remember them for some time, and when she did admitted that she had burned them. Theu another day nestling In her treasure box Falkner found the letter he had written her when he was III. He blushed as he read it, then tore up the "maudlin scrawl." He nevor knew that it had won him a wife. LOUISE FARRBLL. [Original.] Margaret Parke was a very superloi girl. If you ask In what way she was superior, I can't tell you. She was In' tellectual. She was dignified. Sh« was above the petty Jealousies that are common among a certain class of women. And yet I question If these are really the reasons of her superioritj- Emerson Falkner as soon as he knew | her wanted her for his wife. Why he'j wanted her he could not explain even to himself. It was not because she was intellectual, dignified or free from pettiness. About the only reason he could have expressed in words was that she had a musical voice. She couldn't sing a note, but one who heard her low pitched tones would pronounce them melodious. But Falkner didn't consider this a good and sufficient reason for choosing a wife. Falktfer was a methodical man and never went about anything of importance without thinking out how It had better be done. "That girl can never be won by nonsense," he said. "She must first of all respect the man she marries and love him for his moral and Intellectual worth." Acting upon this, he began his courtship by introducing, when with her, topics In which she was most Interested. He found that her taste for books ran in much the same lines as his What He Meant.

"The man wants the keyslde, what* ever that Is, and I dunno," said the policeman. "I believe he's looney and HI run him in."

At times they differed on the matter of favorite authors or philosophical or psychological questions, but Falkner never yielded for the sake of pleasing. The consequence was that there was often spirited sparring between them that added zest to their intimacy. His Invitations to her were in accordance with his estimate of what pleased her. If he invited her to tho theater, the play must be of the higher grade, If to the opera the music was usually by either Beethoven or Wag ner. But more than to the theater or opera he took her to lectures. Though Falkner was a good talker, he was a better writer. As an amateur he had done some very good literary work. His forte was the essay. On one occasion when absent he wrote Miss Burke a series of letters which when he returned she told him were well worthy of publication. He suggested that she keep them, and some day they might find their way into print. When Falkner had thus done what ho could to commend himself tt> the lady he desired he went to see her one evening braced for a proposal. He told her that his friendship with her had been so delightful that he feared to risk It by mentioning the word love; that If that word would spoil the other, friendship. lie desired that she would ronshUT it unspoken. She seemed moved by this delicate way of putting If, and he wns encouraged, but she asked for time, and when he received Ids answer II was that she wished the friendship to be continued. He naturally infer,c I tiiat this meant she deslrrd the lo.e left out. He was greatly disappoiii el. He resolved lhat It should be exactly as she desired-a case of friendship. His attentions were continued. He gave her books, took her to amusements. After this had continued for sonu* time he said to her one day he had often beard that a word of love spoils a lifetime of friendship, but in their case they had proved the statemeat false. Bhe made no reply to this, and he construed her silence to mean ratal WM about t s fo to for H a SJMMMF fttfkaer man to the water front, while the policeman said: "Well, I'll be blowed!"-New York Press. A Slap at Mother. Dinner was done, and the family was assembled in the sitting room. Mother had taken up the evening paper and was reading an account of how a highwayman had been operating In the suburbs. Father was down on his hands and knees trying to act like a horse j while little Willie drove him around the floor. "Papa," finally remarked the good lady, glancing toward her husband, "here is a story about another man who was waylaid. Do these holdups always stop you with a pistol and then go through your clothes?" "Oh, no," grlnfully replied father, arising from the floor.

Many people pei>ibt in riding on the reel car?*, iiihiifhciently protected by clothing. They start out perhaps in the lieu I of the day and do not feel the need of wraps. l'he rapid moving of the ear cools 1 he hody unduly. When tliey board the car pcrhapH they are slightly iierapiring. W lien the body is in this condition it is uahilv chilled, 'ibis is especially true when a person is bitting. Beginning a street car ride in the middle of the dav and ending it in t h e evening uliim*t invariably require* extra wraps, but people do not observe these precautions, hence they catch cold. Colds are very frequent in thu Spring on this account, and us the Summer luvances, they do not decrease. Pairing the Spring months, no one should think of riding on the car without la-ing provided with u wrap. A cold caught in tin1 Spring is liable to last through the entire Summer. C.reat caution tdiotdd be observed at this scahuu againtd exposure to cold. During the hrst few pleacant days of Spring, the liability of catching cold S*t great. No wonder so many people acquire muscular rheumatism and catarrhal dis- C;IM!S during this season. However, in spite of the greatest precautions, colds Avill be caught. At the appearance of the first symptom, Pcrunu should be taken according to directions on the l»ottle, and continued until every symptom disappears. Do not put it off. IX) not waste time by taking other remedies. Begin at once to take 'Peruna and continue taking it until you are positive that the cold has entirely disajq>cured.

T h a t sum spent for reservoirs, ihe hydro- ^rapher thinks, would make the valley safe hereafter. The government is aln a d \ building large reservoirs in the west for the storage of water to b» used for irrigation, but the land thero is cheap in comparison with that in the Ohio valley; but if the use of thousands of acres for reservoirs would prevenl the disastrous floods Die residents of the valley would doubtless think thai, the lam sei ving a good purpose. .

It was as though they had pierced me through, aud had laid bare something I would have concealed. H was a relief to pass beyond her into a recessed part of the room where her gaze might waste itself on (lie hack of my head. ".Mother Borton's up late lo-night," said Dicky thoughtfully, as'Mto ordered wine. "You can't blame her for thinking that this crowd needs watching," I suggested with as much of airiness a s 1 couid throw into my manner. Dicky shook his head for a second, and then resumed his light-hearted, bantering way. Yet I could see that. he was preplexed and anxious about something that had come to h i s attention on our arrival. "You'll not want to attend to business till all the hoys are here?" asked Dicky. "Not unless there's something to be done," 1 responded dryly. Dic£y gave me a quick glance. "Of course," he said with a laugh that was not quite easy, "not unless there's something to be done. But I thought there was something." "You've got a fine mind for thinking, Dicky," 1 replied. "You'd better cultivate it." "Well, they say tnere's nothing like society for that sort of cultivation," said Dicky, with another laugh. "They don't say what kind, but I've got a pretty good stock to choose from." He was at his ease in banter again, but it struck unpleasantly on me that there was something behind. "Oh, here's a queer friend," h e said suddenly, looking at t h e door. "I'd bettor speak to him on the matter of countersigns." "]>>y all means," I said, turning in my chair to survey the new-comer. I saw the face for an instant. The man wore a sou'wester, and ho had drawn his thick, rough coat up a s the cellar. Cheek and chin 1 could M"" were covered by a thick blonde 1 ".r.'d. His movements were apparently uumsy, but. his figure was lithe and s.nueiis. And his eyes! Once seen ;',u~y never could be forgotten. At he would hide his head under ianeo, D^ard and sou'wester away before mv fanev, Lnd I M V in my inner vision tfc» m m of the serpent glance who had chilled my spirit wbon I(h»dUl^rs^u4it foot in the city. It flashed on me in an Instant that thib maja was the same m a n dls- Kuised. who h a s ventured into t h e rnidat of his enemies to oee what he might learn of their plans. As 1 watched Dicky advance and greet the new-comer with apparent In quiry, a low, ha rah voice behind gave me a start of uurprl&e. "This is your wine, 1 think."—and a lean, wrinkled arm passed over my shoulder, and a wrinkled face came near my own. 1 turned quickly. It was Mother Borton, leering a t me with no apparent interest but ki her errand. "What are you doing here?" asked the crone in a voice stIJI lower. "You're not the one they take you to :hi;u:;h What a r e you doing with his looks, and in this place? J^ook out for that man you're with, and the other. Yes, sir," her voice rose. "A small bottle at the white; in a minute, sir " 1 understood her a s Dicky aud t h e new-comer came to the table and took seats opposite. I commanded my face to. give no sign of suspicion, but t h e warning put me on the alert. 1 had come on the supposition that 1 was to meet t h e band to which Henry Wilton belonged. Instead of being among friends, however, it seemed now that 1 was among enemies. "It's all right," said Dicky carelessly, "lie's been sent." "That's lucky," said 1 with equal unconcern. "We may need au extra hand before morning." The new-comer could not repress a triumphant flash in t h e serpent eyes. "I'm the one for your job," he said hoarsely, his face as impassive as a stone wall. "What do you know about the job?" I asked suspiciously. "Only what I've been told," he answered. ' A n d that is " "That it's a job for silence, secrecy, and " "Spondulicks," said Dicky with a laugh, as the other hesitated for the word. "Just so," said the man. "And what else?" I continued, pressing him firmly. "Well, he admitted hoarsely, "I learned as how there was to be a change of place to-night, and I might be needed." I looked a t him inquiringly. Perhaps I was on the threshold of knowledge of this cursed business from the mouth of the enemy. "I heard as how the boy was to be put in a safer place," he said, wagging his head with affected gravity. Some imp put it into my brain to try him with an unexpected bit of news. "Oh," I said coolly, "that's nil attended to. The change was made yesterday." The effect of this announcement was extraordinary. The man started with an oath. "The hell you say!" he exclaimed in a low, smooth voice, far different from the harsh tone he had used thus far. Then he leaped to his feet, with uncontrollable rage. "Tricked—by God!" he shouted impulsively, and smote the table with his fist. His outburst threw the room into confusion. Men sprang from their chairs. Glasses and bottles fell with clinking crash. Oaths and shouts arose from the crowd. "Damn you, I'll have it out of you!" said the man with suppressed fury, his voice once again smooth and low. "Where is the boy?" He smote the table again; and with that stroke t h e false heard fell from his chin and cheek, and exposed the malignant face, distorted with rage. A feeling of horrible repulsion came over me, and I should have struck at that serpent's head but for a startling occurrence. As h e spoke, a wild scream rose upon the air, and as it echoed through t h e room the lights went. out. The scream was repeated, and after an Instant's silence there rose a chorus of shouts and oaths, mingled with the crash of tables and the clink of breaking glass and crockery, as the men in the room fought their way to the door. "Oh, my God. I'm cut!"' came in a shriek out of the darkness and clamor; and there followed the flash of a pistol and a report, that boomed like a cannon in that confined place. My eyes had not been idle aftethe warning of Mother Borton. and in an instant I had decided what to do. I had figured out what 1 conceived to be the plan of The house, and thought I knew a way of escape. There were two doors at the rear of the room, facing me. One led, as I knew, to the kitchen; ihe e.the.* opened, 1 reasoned, on a stair to the lodging-room above. Before (he scream that accompanied the extinction ol' the lights li.vl died away. I had made a dive hene;::h the table, and, lifting with ail mv mii;ht, had sent it c a s h i n g over wit'.v my enemy under it. With one leap 1 cleared the remaining table that lay between mo and the door. And with the clamor behind me, 1 turned the knob and bounded up the stairs, aUttlhJLt A time.. C H A P T E R V I I .

I be, but you're none the less in danger.+felt my way along the wall and moved cautiously forward. I had progressed perhaps twenty steps when a door, against which my hand pressed, yielded at the touch and swung slowly open. I strove t o atop It, for the first opening showed a dim light within. But the panel gave no hold for my fingers, and my efforts to close the door only swung it open the faster. J drew back a little into the shadow, for I hesitated to dash past t h e sight of any who might occupy the room. "Come in!" called a harsh voice. I hesitated. Behind, the road led to t h e eating-room with its known dangers. A dash along t h e hall for the front door meant t h e raising of an alarm, aud probably a bullet as a discourager of burglary. Should I escape this, I could be certain of a warm reception from the enemies on watch outside. Prudence lay in lacing the one rather than risking the many. 1 accepted t h e invitation and walked into the room. "I was expecting you," said the harsh voice composedly. "Good evening." "Good evening," I returned gravely, swallowing my amazement as best I could. By the table before me sat Mother Borton, contemplating me as calmly as though this meeting were the most commonplace thing in the world. A candle furnished a dim, flickering light that gave to her hard wicked countenance a diabolic leer that struck a chill to my blood. "Excuse me," I said, "I have lost my way, I fear." "Not at all," said Mother Borton. "You are in the right place." "I was afraid I had intruded," I said apologetically. "I expected you," she repeated. "Shut the door." I glanced about the room. There was no sign of another person to be seen, and no other door. I obeyed her. "You might as well sit down," she said with some petulance. "There's nothing up here to hurt you." There was so much meaning in her tone of the things that would hurt me on the floor below that I hastened to show my confidence in her, and drew up a chair to the table. At your service," I said, leaning before her with as much an appearance of jaunty self-possession as I could muster. "Who a r e you, and what a r e you doing here?" she asked grimly, What should I a n s w e r ' Could I tell her the truth? "Who are you?" she repeated impatiently, gazing on me. "You a r e not Wilton. Tell me. Who are you?" The. face, hard as it was, seamed with the record of a rough and evil life, a s it appeared, had yet a kindly look as it. was turned on mo. I'TO BE r o X T I N T K I M TERRORS OF BALLOONING. Not to the Aeronaut, but to the Man on Earth B«low Him. It must be more than two years ago that. I called attention in this column to the danger and nuisance that would be likely to ensue If ballooning be came popular, but it Is only recently that, the public have awakened to the fact that t h e possibilities mentioned are likely to become stern realities. Already we read of people quietly lounging in their gardens being well nigh blinded by showers of sand, of conservatories being smashed, of houses unroofed and chimneys demol ished, of trees uprooted, of fences damaged and of cattle injured by the action of the grapnel. Of course, as ballooning becomes more general such accidents will bo more frequent and more serious. An inconsiderate aeronaut is far more dif fieult to catch and control than a roadhog, because he may perpetuate his annoyances from an inaccessible distance. It is real!.\ high time-- -before this latest ncisance becomes so vasr as to he uncontrollable--thai stringent measures should be taken for its suppression.

T H O U S A N D FROM T H E UNJTEO STATES. Now that it IB known that in t h e yaar ju&t clot»ed nearly sUty thousand from t h e United States declared their intention of making their homes in Canada, i t might not he out of place to search for some reasons that would bring this about. These people are but following the example of the flfty-flve or sixty thousand who did the same thing the y»ar previous, aud an almost equal number who the year before that but followed the example of the thousands of t h e year preceding. An excellent climate, certain and positive crops of grain of all kinds, good markets for their produce, land and good land, too— at low prices, •-asy terms of payment, (not forget ting the 160 acres of land given free by the Government, particulars of which the Canadian Government Agent: whose name appears elsewhere will tell you about! aud then the splendid social conditions. T h e situation Is pretty well sized up by a writer in one of the magazines. Quoting from this article, we find this: "Those of us who made good in the States," inter jteted another settler as if to con tinue the story of his neighbor, "have had it easy from t h e start; a little money is a mighty good tiling on coming into a new country. But those who make an entry, or even buy lands at low rates, are able to square things in two or three seasons' crops. Ther.' are hardships in building shanties, and then with increasing prosperity getting things into shape for hotter homes. But affairs go much as in'the States. We have the largest liberty in the world; there is more home rule in the Provinces than in t h e several states of t h e Republic. Taxes a r e light and with only a few million people west of Winnipeg we don't get in each other's way. One's friends over the line probably thought we would not live through the winter: and while it Is cold, real cold, it is free from the moisture experienced in t h e east. Schools a r e good as encouraged by the Govet-'unjeut; t h e enterprising American promoter and. Yankee drummer see to it fhaf'we take notice of the latest improvements and best agricultural machinery. Altogether we are as near to affairs as we would he on our own farms in the States. Winnipeg bears the same relation to us as Chicago did at home; and Edmonton with the sin rounding region advances as Omaha did in t h e days when w t were as yoimg a s t h e boys yonder. We get together much as they did In the granges over the border; the government has established experimental schools of agriculture, and progress in every line is stimulated. This is a great region for grazing." we hear the Calgary citizen continuing, "and then with building elevators of wheat at one dollar a bushel, many of us find time to go over to the live stock ox hlbition in Chicago or visit old friends during t h e course of the winter. Every man is taken for what lie is worth or for what he can raise; and iti this good air and on this fertile soil we intend to show our old friends that wo are madp of the right s t u f f - that wo are chips of the eld block who built up t h e American West."

'2, or (.'uudlemas day, was u favorite holiday, marked by public j^-iyety and ceremonies in Euroix.- during the middle ages, ll is still marked there by tuts closing of bunks and oraVes, bin not otherwise, outside <>t tbe reading of church services. In the cliurcli calendar it 1« known as the lYusc of Purification of the Virgin and was lirsi instituted by Tope Serglua about the year 1584 A. 1K The popular name of the day is derived from the early custom of lighting up the churches with caudles and carrying these In procession on thin festival. As to the weather superstition giving to Candlemas the name of ground hog day, that is a worldwide fable, in tiertUHUy it is the badges that breaks his winter nap on this day to essay the thankless task of weuther prophecy; in France and Switzerland it is the marmot and in England the hedgehog. Observation shows, says the Housekeeper, that uoue of these small animals do thus observe the date tixed; also that the weather on this date does not accurately foretell that of the following two months, as is supposed. But it is a general truth that in temperate latitudes waun and sunny weather in the first half of February is apt to be followed by a change and a cool spring, and on this fact our ground hog and badger stories are founded.

Famous as the Abode of Many English Literary Giants. The place to which the lover of English literature will sooner or later turn his steps Is Twickenham. No other small town can boast of having beeu the residence and beloved a ode of so many famous literary lights. With it are associated the Immortal names of Pope, Horace Walpole, Swift, Gay. Lady Wortley Montagu, Gibson, Boswell, Johnson, Tennyson and Dickens. Snrely this Is enough to make any place doubly Immortal? Twickenham was well nicknamed by Horace Walpole the Baiae, or Tivoll, of England, for it has truly been to London what Baiae was to ancient Rome—Indeed, in a far higher degree. The big red brick house In Montpeller road where Alfred Tennyson lived for BO many years of bis earlier married life was the one In which manjs»of his earlier poems were written. There his son Lionel, the second Lord Tennyson, was born, and there the author of "Idylls" entertained many of his literary friends and acquaintances. That house should surely be sacred to all lovers of English literature, which saw the dawn of "In Me moriam," which witnessed those do llghtful gatherings graced by Tennyson, Hallam and kindred spirits within its walls. It Is today called "Tennyson House."—Westminster Gazette. Men's Maids. "Men's maids, yes," said an employment agent. "There are more of them than of men's men or valets.

Maids changing the studs in evening shirts, pressing trousers with patent alcohol Irons, bfashlng coats and putting fresh laces in boots. The average well to do couple—the couple that can afford the best winter and summer r e s o r t s - travel with a maid, but not with a maid and a valet, for, after all, a valet Is very expensive, and his duties occupy only a few hours a day, and a maid can get through all of them just as well as not.

"I remember that this idea seemed to take shape as music In my hraln—some wild air that I cannot now recall. The whole poem was dashed off rapidly when once begun. It was not composed In cold blood, but under what may be called a conflagration of the •eases If not an Inspiration of tbe Intellect No one was more surprised than I was at the widespread and Instantaneous popularity I had been so strangely stimulated to write."

Findfug that I was educated, she promoted me to be governess. April 5. I have found it easier to win the bet than to get away from here. What excuse cuu I give the dear old ludy for one day accepting a position given in kindness alone and throwing It up tbe next? I don't mind staying here a bit. My duties give me occupation, the children are dear little things, and the countess is all loveliness. They say many daughters of wealthy people in America are nowadays accepting positrons in order that they may find an object. At any rate, I am in no hurry to get away. April 18. I am still with the countess. I have not been so contented since I left BChool. But one thing troubles me. Every day the children must drive out in the air, and I must go with them. I do not like to confess It even to myself, but I have such singular feelings toward Hans. Great heavens, can I be falling in love with a coachman? He never addresses me except when I address him. Then he talks delightfully. He has been to America and tells me many things of that remarkable people. He says he's going back there to make his fortune. It frightens me to feel as I do about his going so far away from me. May 2. It is a month today since I came here. I made a great mistake in coming and a greater mistake ni not going away at once. I am daily becoming more deeply Involved—Just think of It —with a coachman. Yesterday he passed the gulf that separates us and told me that he loved me. What shall 1 do? I ean'f stay here, and I can't bring myself to go away. I feel all the while a bnrning shame. True, I told Hans that if he presumed again I would tell the countess and he would be discharged, but this was only my weakness. I should have left the house Immediately. May 10. Hans yesterday met me In the garden. He was coming from the stables and 1 from the house. He asked me to go to a rustic bench, as be bad something very important to say to me. Weak creature that I was, I consented He poured out his love In such a passionate torrent that he took me quite off my feet. What did I do but admit that I loved him, though 1 told him that the difference In our stations must keep us forever apart. Oh, the weak ness of a woman's pride when love comes! May 15. A letter from Laura today saying that she is ready to pay the bet she. had lost and asking what In the world Is keeping me here. I have replied that I love every one hero so well thai I can't tear myself away. Horror ot horrors! Am I rash enough, weak enough, silly enough, to let it come out that there is a case of the real love and the object Is Hans, the coachman 1 May 22. Something very remarkable has happened. I am going home at once. When the countess paid me my wages I felt so fnnny. She told me that I have suited her exactly and she would recommend me for any position for which I might apply. But when. the dear old lady added a considerable sum to what she had agreed to pay I felt my cheeks grow hot, and I shed a few tears. I must make a note of what has brought abont my leaving her service This morning I went into her boudoir suddenly without being announced. She was not there, but some one was there whom I did not expect to find. It w a s Hans, the coachman. My astonishment would not have been so great had he not been dressed like a gentleman and was lounging in an easy chair reading a newspaper. On seeing my surprise he smiled. "Franleln," he said, "I am In your power. You may take revenge if you like for my presumption. If yon report me to the government I shall be held for military service. I live in America. where I have a profitable business. I am the countess' youngest son and have been obliged to make my own esreer. Desiring to see my dear oil? mother, I have come incog, that I maj hot have to spend several yeras here In the army. The only real coachman'* duty I have performed has been to djive jou and my nephews and nieces. He l.ul What Hi} Seeded. "Nine ve-ars ago it looked a« it uiv tiuin had come,' says Sir.

There is ;i re-.'oid of an attempted tpiadrature in Kgypt 500 years before the exodus of the Jews, and, if we are to take lloue as an authority, the problem was solved by Hippocrates, •the geometrician of Chios, nearly 500 years B. C. By some it is claimed that the efforts of Hippocrates were in the direction of converting a circle Into a crescent because he had found that the area of a figure produced fjy draw, ing two perpendicular radii is exactly equal to the triangle formed by the line of conjunction. This last is the famous theorem of the "lunes of Hippocrates." The "Papyrus Ithind," the oldest mathematical book in the world, written by one Ahmes about 2,000 B. circle." The rule given requires that the diameter of a circle shall be shortened by one-ninth and the square erected upou this shortened line. The early Babylonians also worked a t this old mathematical problem, as is attested by several references in the Talmud. Quite Natural.

I BLINDFOLDED i A Mystery Story of Swan Francisco BY KAULE ASHLEY WALCOTT (UuwrJtfht 1IM, ChaBoblw Merrill Cu.) 8YM0P9I8. <;iW r>udlry arrived in Sun KruncLMcu u> Join hla frit'iut and dlatunl relative \itttiry Wilton, whom he wan to HMsiat JC. an important and mysterious taak, and who accompanied Dudley on the ferry boat trip into i h e city. The remarkable reneiriblanee of the t w o men is notfd and commented on by passen- *ern on the ferry. They Bee a man with tmake eyes, which senda a thrill through Dudley. Wilton postpones a n explanation • of the strange errand Dudley is to perform, but occurrences cause him to know it is one of no ordinary meaning. Wilton leaves Giles in their room, with Instruction to await ids return and shoot any one who tries to enter. Outside there is heard s h o u t s and curses and the noise of a quarrel. Henry rushes in and at his request the r o o m m a t e s quickly exchungfl clothes, and he hurries out again. Hardly has lie Rone t h a n Giles is .startled by a cry of "Help," and he runs out to ttnd s o m e one being assaulted by :i half dozen men. Ho s u m m o n s a policeman but they arc unable to rind tiny i race of a crime. Giles returnB to his .room and h u n t s for some evidence that might explain his strange mission. He tinda a map which he endeavors to decipher: Dudley is s u m m o n e d to the morgue and there tlnds the dead body of ids friend, Henry Wilton. And thus Wilt- <>0 die-s without ever explaining to Dudley the puzzling work he w a s to perform in San Francisco, in order to discover the secret mission his friend had entrusted to him Dudley continues his disguise and permits himself to he known as Henry Wilton. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton, is employed by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerage deal. "Dicky" lakes the supposed Wilton to Mother Horton's. Mother Borton discovers that lie is not Wilton. The lights are turned out and a free for all fight follows. Giles Dudley tlnds himself closeted in a room with Mother Borton who m a k e s a confldant of him. CHAPTER VII. (Continued.) "My name is Dudley—Giles Dudley." "Where is Wilton?" "Dead.' "Dead? Did you kill h i m ? " The half-kindly look disappeared from her eyes and the hard lines settled into an expression of malevolent repulsiveness. "He was my best friend," I said sadly; and then I described the leading events of the tragedy I had witnessed. The old woman listened closely, and with hardly the movement of a muscle, to the tale I told. ' Aud you think he left, his joh to you?'' she aaid with a sneer, "[ have taken it up as well as 1 fan. To be frank with you, Mrs. Morton, I know nothing about his job. I'm going along on blind chance, and trying to keep a whole skin." The old woman looked at me in amazement. "Poor boy!" she oxclalmed halfpi'yingly, half-admiringly. "You put. your hands to a job you know nothing about, when Henry Wilton couldn't carry it with all his wits about him." "f didn't do it," said I sullenly. "It has done itself. Everybody insists that. I'm Wilton. If I'm to have my throat, slit for him I might as well try to do his work. I wish to Heaven I knew what It was, though." Mother Dorton leaned her head on her hand, and gazed on me thoughtfully for a full minute. "Young man," said she impressively, "take my advice. There's a train for the East in the mornin'. Just git on board, and never you stop short of Chicago." 'T'm not running away." said I bitterly. "I've got a score to settle with the man who killed Henry Wilton. When that score is settled. I'll go to Chicago or anywhere else. Until that's done, I stay where I can settle it." Mother Borton caught up the candle and moved it back and forth before my face. In her «yes there was a gleam of savage pleasure. "By God, he's In e a r n e s t ! " she said to tterself, with a strange laugh. "Tell me again of the man you saw in the alley." 1 described Doddridge Knapp. "And you are going to get even with him? she said with a chuckle that had no mirth In it. "Yes." said t shortly. "Why, if yon should touch him tho people of the city would tear you to pieces." *i shall not touch him. I'm no HAsasain!" I exclaimed indignantly. T h e law shall take him, and I'll see him hanged a* high as Haitian." Mother Borton gave a low, gurgling laufch. / T h e Jaw! oh. my liver—the law! Mow younj|/you are, mylUQ>!, Oh, ho, oh h o ! " And again she absorbed her oitrthleaa laufh, and gave m© an evil aria.* Tfeeo aha became grave agai and laid a claw an my aioeve. ' T a k e my advice uow, and git p a the train." "Not I!" 1 returned atoutly. •* "I'm doing It for yqyr «wn goixf." she said, with as nc|ir <*ii approach to a coaxing ton* as qhe could command. It W*B lung fclftc©' She had used her voice for such a puri)Ost' and it grated. "For my sake I'd like to see you go on and wipe out the whole raft ot 'em. But 1 know what'll happen to ye, honey. I've took a fancy to ye. I don't know why. But there'b a look on your face that carries me back for forty years, aud—don't try it, dearie." There were actually tears in the creature's eyes, and her hard, wicked face softeued, aud became almost tender aud womanly. "I can't give up," I said. "The work Is put ou me. But can't you help me? I believe you want to. I trust you. Tell me what to do—where I stand. I'm all in the dark, but 1 must do my work." It was the best appeal 1 could have made. "You're right," she said. "I'm an old fool, and yuu've got the real sand. You're the first oue except Henry Wilton that's trusted utt? in forty years, and you won't be sorry tor it, my boy. You owe me one, now. Where would you have been to-night if 1 hadn't had the light doused on ye?" "Oh, that was your doing, was it? I thought my time had come." "Oh, I was sure you'd know what to do. It was your best chance." "Then will you help me now?" The old cione considered, and her face grew sharp and cunning in its look. "What can I d o ? " "Tell me, in God's name, where 1 stand. What is this dreadful mystery? Who is this boy? Why is he hidden and why do these people want to know where he is? Who Is behind me and who threatens me with death?" I burst out with these question passionately, almost frantically. This was the first time I had had chance to demand them of another human being. Mother Borton gave me a leer. "I wish I could tell you, my dear, but I don't know." "You mean you dare not tell me," I said boldly. "You have done me a great service, but if I am to save my- °'i self from the dangers that, surround me I must know more. Can't you sec that?" "Yes," she nodded. "You're In a hard row of stumps, young man." "And you can help mo." "Well, I will," she said, suddenly softening again. "I took a shine to you when you came in, an' I says to myself, 'I'll save that young fellow,' an' I done it. And I'll dn more. Mr. Wilton was a fine gentleman, an' I'd do something, if I could, to get even with those murderin' gutter-pickers that laid him out on a slab." She hesitated and looked around at. the shadows thrown by the nickeling candle. "Well?" I said impatiently. "Who is the boy, and where is he?" "Never you mind that young, fellow. Let me tell you what I know. Then maybe we'll have time to go into things I don't know." It was of no uae to urge her. I bowed my assent to her terms. "I'll name no names," she said. "My throat can b e cut as quick as yours, and maybe quicker." "The ones that h a s the boy means all right. They're rich. The ones as is looking for the boy is all wrong. They'll be rich if they gits him." "How?" "Why, T don't know," said Mother Borton. "I'm tellin" you what. Henry Wilton told me." This was maddening. I began to suspect that she knew nothing after all. "Do you know where he Is?" I asked, taking the questioning into my own hands. "No"—sullenly. "Who is protecting hi:.v?" "I don't know." "Who is trying to get him?" "Its that snake-eyed Tom Terrill that's leading the hunt, along with Darby Meeker; but they ain't doing it 1'ttv themselvea." "Is Doddridge Knapp behind, them?" The old woman looked at joao snd-rdenlj in wild-eyed alarm. "8^-tf!" she whlapefW "Don't name no names." "And is this all you know?" I asked wi disappointment. Mother Borton tried to remember some other in>iut. "I don't bee huw it's going to keep a knife from bttweeu iny ribs," 1 complalued. "You keep out of the way of Tom Terrill aud his hounds, aud you'll be all right, i reckon.'' "Am 1 supposed to be the head man in this business?" "Yes." "Who are my men?" "There's Wilson and Fitzhugh and Porter and Brown," and she named ten or a dozen more. "Aud what is Dicky?" ' It's a smart man as can put his linger on Dicky Nahl," satd Mother Borton spitefully. "Nahl is his name?" "Yes. And I've seen him hobnob with Henry Wilton, and I've seen him thick as thieves with Tom Terrill, and which he's thickest with the devil himself couldn't tell. I call him Slippery Dicky" "Why did he bring me here tonight?" "I hearu there's orders come to change the place—the boy's place, you know. You was to tell 'em where the new one was to be, I reckon, but Tom Terrill spoiled things. He's lightning, is Tom Terrill. But I guess he got it all out of Dicky, though where Dicky got it the Lord only kuows." This was all that was to be had from Mother Borton. Either" she knew no more, or she was sharp enough to hide u knowledge that might be dangerous, even fatal, to reveal. She was willing to serve mo, and I was forced to let it pass that she knew no more. "Well, I'd better be going then," said I at last. "It's nearly 4 o'clock, and everything seems to be quiet hereabouts. I'll find my way to my room." "You'll do no such thing," said Mother Borton. "They've uot given up the chase yet. Your men have gone home, I reckon, but I'll bet the Baloon that you'd have a surprise before you got to the corner.' "Not a pleasant prospect," said I grimly. "No. Y'ou must stay here. The room next to this one is just the thing for you. See?" She drew me into the adjoining room, shading the caudle as we passed through the ha.l that no gleam might fall where it would attract attention. "You'll be safe here," she said. "Now do as I say. Go to sleep and git some rest. You ain't had much, I guess, since you got to San Francisco." The room was cheerless, but in the circumstances the advice appeared good. 1 was probably safer here than in the street, and I needed the rest. "Good night," said my strange protectress. "You needn't git up till you git ready. This is a beautiful room—beautiful, I call it our bridal chamber, though we don't get no brides down here. There won't be no sun to bother your eyes in the mornin', for that window don't open up outside. So there can't nobody git in unless he conies from inside the house. There, git to bed. Look out you don't set Are to nothing. And put out. the candle. Now good night, dearie." Mother. Borton closed the door behind her, and left me to the shadows. There was nothing to lie. gained by sitting up, and the candle was past its final inch. I felt that 1 could not sleep, but I would lie down on the bed anrl rest my tired limbs, that I might refresh myself for the demands of the day. I kicked off my boots, put. my revolver under my hand and lay down. Heedless of Mother Borton's warning I left the candle to burn to the socket, and watched the flickering shadows chase each other over walls and ceiling, finally dropping off to sleep. CHAPTER VIII. In Which i Meet a Few Surprises. I awoke with the sense of threatened danger strong in my mind. For a moment. I was unahle to recall where I was, or ou what errand I had come. Then memory returned in a flood, and I sprang from the bed and peered about me. A dim light struggled in from the darkened window, but no cause for apprehension could be seen. I was the only creature that breathed the air of that bleak and dingy room. I drew aside the curtain, and threw up the window. It. opened merely on a light-well, and the blank walls beyond gave back the cheery reflection of a patch of sunshine that fell at an angle from above. The fresher air that crept in from the window cleared my mind, a dash of water refreshed my body and 1 was ready once more to face whatever might befall. I looked at my watch. It was S o'clock, and I had slept four hours in this place. Truly I had been .imprudent after my adventure below, but I ,had been right in trusting Mother Borton. Then I began to realise that I was outrageously hungry, and I re memhered that 1 should be at the office by & to. receive the commands of Doddridge, Knapp, should he choose to send them.. I threw ^acK.tiy;1 boltj hut when I tried to swing 'the door opefa it re- .aistqfli my feffortk. The key bad been mUi*i»g w£en I closed it, but a sliding ^bolt'had fastened it securely. Now 1 saw thai the door was locked. Here was a strange yeidlca/iienl. 1 had heard nuthiug ol the noise of the key before 1 lost myself in slumber. Mother Borton must have turned it as an additional precaution as 1 slept. But how was I to get out? I hesitated to make a noise that could attract attention. It might bring some oue lt-bs kindly disposed than my hostess of the night. But there was no other way. I was trapped, and must take the risk of summoning assistance. I rapped on the panel iyid listened. No sound rewarded me. 1 rapped again more vigorously, but only silence followed. The house might have been the grave for all the sigua of life it gave back. There was something ominous about It. To be locked, thus, in a dark room of this house in which I had already been attacked, was enough to shaKe my spirit and resolution for the moment. What lay without the door, my apprehension asked me. Was it part of the plot to get the secret it was supposed 1 held? Had Mother Borton been murdered and the house seized? Or had Mother Borton played me false and was I now a prisoner to my own party for my enforced imposture, as one'who knew too much to be left at large and too little to be of use? On a second and calmer thought it was evidently folly to bring my jailers about my ears, if jailers there were. I abandoned my half-formed plan or breaking down the door, and turned to the window and the light-well. Another window faced on the same space, not five feet away. If it were but opened I might swing myself over and through it; but it was closed, and a curtain hid the unknown possibilities and dangers of the interior. A dozen feet above was the roof, with no projection or foothold by wihch it might be reached. Below, the lightwell ended in a tinned floor, about four feet from the window sill. I swung myself down, and with two steps was trying the other window. It was unlocked. I raised the sash cautiously, but its creaking protest seemed to my excited ears to be loud enough to wake any but the dead. I stopped and listened after each squeak of the frame. There was no sign of movement. Then I pushed aside the curtain cautiously, and looked within. The room appeared absolutely bare. Gaining confidence at the sight, I threw the curtain farther back, and with a bound climed in, revolver In hand. The room wasw. as 1 had thought, bare and deserted. There was a musty smell about it, as though it had not been opened for a long time, and dust and desolation lay heavy upon it. There was, however, nothing here to linger for, and I hastened to try the door. It was locked. I stooped to examine the fastening. It was of the cheapest kind, attached to door and casement by small screws. With a good wrench it gave way, and I found myself in a dark side-hall between two rooms. Three steps brought me to the main hall, and I recognized it for the same through which t had telr my way in the darkness of the night. I took my steps cautiously down the stairs, following the way that led to the side entrance. The saloon and restaurane room 1 was anxious to evade, for there would doubtless be a barkeeper and several loiterers about. It could not be avoided, however. As I ncared the bottom of the stairs I saw that a door led from the hallway to the saloon, and that it was open. (TO BK CONTINTKI).) When Time's Flight Is Marked. "One of the difficult things to realize," said the middle-aged man. "is t h a t certain people have grown up. They are the people you used to know as children, whom you have not seen for a number of years, and who then come again into your life. I had a case of just this sort the other day. and I haven't yet overcome the un real feeling it gave me. "The person in question was one of my boyhood companions in the little country town where I was brought up. I hadn't seen him for a quarter of a century, when he walked into my office and introduced himself. Maybe I wasn't, glad to shake his hand again! But. it all seemed like a kind of masquerade; it wasn't at all the right thing for him to be so old. and as for his being a trifle stout and having a beard, why .that was simply ridiculous. Of course, he should have appeared in the somewhat threadhare coat and knee breeches in which he had always been enshrined in my memory.

'Hy jings' is .-•wearing, for my good old mother taught me (hat anything that had a 'by' before il was swearing." One day Secretary Seward, who was not renowned as a joker, said he had been told thai a short time before on a street crossing Lincoln had l>cen seen to turn out in the mud to give a colored woman a chance to pass. "Yes," said Lincoln, "it has been a rule of my life that if peopAp would not turu out for me 1 would turn out for them. Then you avoid collisions." An Attempted Innovation That Did Not Meet With Favor. It Is not always wise to force upon a people new customs, even those of advanced principle, in the face of long established tradition. Lady Burton discovered thin truth when she attempted to Introduce European courtesy into the orient. She tells of her experience In "Inner Life of Syria." The incident occurred at one of her own receptions. It is de rigueur every time coffee, tea or sherbet comes in for every fresh relay of visitors thut I should take it with them and drink first. When I first arrived 1 used to get up as a matter of course, make the tea and coffee and carry It round. The dragomans would sit lazily and watch. One day 1 asked them to get up and help me. They were pleased to do so and willingly handed the refreshments to any of the Europeans, man or woman, but not to their own ladles, who blushed, begged their pardon and were quite confused when I made it known this attention was for them as well as for others. The women looked appeallngly at me and stood up, praf^ng not to be served. One man who was really in love with his wife, a beautiful creature, gave her a teacup as If It were a good joke, with a little sneer. She bent, kissed his hand and begged his pardon. I felt quite indignant with the men for so behaving to their wives, mothera and sisters, but one said to me: "Pray, Mrs. Burton, do not teach our women things they do not know about and never saw." After that I held my tongue, but 1 let him know that with Europeans It was the height of bad taste not to wait on any woman. HAD HIS REVENGE. A Twenty year Sentence.

C. Plummet ) H-. The steamer .Juliet lay in the river «ff S*U» Nicola, put ward bound from Roaarfo to London. A true specimen of the genus tramp was the Juliet. Run for divideuds she was, like her crew, overworked ami starved, for if t h e crew had little to eat, and that l>ad, the poor old craft had so little l>aint on her sides that groat splotches developed as it" she had a promising r a s e of eczema. Forward of the quarter deck sh-a was a hungry ship. Since the day she had steamed out of Cardiff for Las l'almas the crew had lived on rank beef and petrified Liverpool pantiles. Al the start three potatoes had been rierved to each man daily, and when the men en masse petitioned for more the supply had been cut down to two, one, ami finally none. ''"Faith." said Mennessy, "at home Father .lohu used to prarhe from a t.ex' \ s k and ye'll roc'avc' but on this Moody hooker il' ye ask ye git less." Of course there wore shore days at 1-is l'almas and Kosario, but then, after the men had filled up with rum, there was no money left for edibles. What added ^P Vive discontent of the vrevv was that the cabin lived well, and when I hey saw and sniffed chicken pi«?*ete., going aft it. made t h e lv*et nastier and the biscuit Jiardoi'. At. Itosario the skipper had bought len imkeys for cal)iu delectation, They were in a coop abaft the fiddly " I Could Eat One of Them Feathers and A l l . " (Copyright, b? Daily Story Pub. Co.) 'Tukkey for late dinner, Clark, if ye'll be after doin' the cookin'." "What alls ye, you Irish ass?" snapped Clark up the tube. "Ye know that two a y t h e tukkeys died last night.' They were found did in the coop this mornin'. The skipper ordeerd me to t'j'ow thim overboard. I hid 'em in me hunk and we'll ate "em to-night." "You bloody beast," snarled Clark, "do you take us for buzzards that we'll eat things that die natural?" "The disease that they died av, me hoy, was a sail needle nately• put tr.oo their ores by a man named Hennessy durin' the airly mornin' watch. They died daycently widout a drop of blood spilt. If yo'll cook 'em we '11 ate «in to-night." "What's for ;ae to do?" asked Clark, now interested. "Kape your ears open about tin o'clock," replied Hennessey; "ye may hear soniethin'." ('lark sat for an hour on watch liefore his engine and then he started, for two somethings had bumped down the ventilator on^to the iron deck floor. Inspection revealed two wellgrown turkeys lying amid the coal dust, and then the donkeyman met the situation. Summoning the assistance of the dago coal passer the feathers were promptly snatched off the birds and every bit, or refuse cast into the furnace. Then the carcasses were placed in two buckets and set to boll before the furnace doors, The provider of the feast, was impatient, as Clark had several times to reply to a whispered inquiry down the tube, "if it was riddy?" and finally announced that the savory stew had reached the eating point. The. whole crew ate of the mess, some sneaking to the, engine room and carrying portions to those who could not. come. Hennessy, especially, ate heartily. "There's pipper and there's salt, in it," he said, between mouthfuls, "hut. the best flavor av all is git tin' ahead of the old man." The next morning the skipper was on deck before sunrise and counted the turkeys. There was a cold wind blowing and the fowls were huddled together in a droopy fashion. Capt. McTavish eyed them a moment, and then cried out to the steward, loud enough to be heard all over the ship: "I'm swindled "I troo em yrprboard," aaid Heaneasy faintly ">re lee!" thundered Captain McTavish. "Ye.ate eoi ye parcel of carrion crows and yell be all dead by th«i night. I'll have the lives of all of ym on ruy head, ye puir greedy souls." Then he stalked into the cabin. "I wonder if he means it?" whispered Clark, looking askance at the turkeys iu the cuop. "1 dunno," replied Hennessy. "but the burruda certainly look sick." "Thuu ye ve pisened the whole bloody crew," cried Clark, savagely. " 'Ow could 1 tell the burruda.were sick, bvdu' they come aboard in the night time?" growled Hennessy. "Kaith, 1 fale sick now." The sailors stole alarmed glances at the droopy fowls and scowled at Hennessy. Captain McTavish reappeared on deck, accompanied by the mate, chief engineer and the steward, the latter bearing the medicine chest. "All bauds aft," bellowed the mate. "Ket's a guid thing I found out what ye ha' done," said the skipper, addressing the assembled crew. "I ha' na' call to help men that steal from the sheep, bur I'll na" tak the responsibility of the lives at all of ye. Eet's a sair thiug to use up all the medeciue on the ship, but I'll ua" ha' ye dee. liow do the men look to you, Meester Somere?" he said, addressing the mate. "They look bloomln' sick to me," he replied, wagging his head. 'The disease won't come out on th.? men before night," put iu the chief engineer, with solemnity, "then they'll v-url up in a knot and die." "They will na' dee if I can help it," exclaimed Captain McTavish, "though they don't deeserve that I move ma feenger for 'em. Come aft, men, one at a time, and tak' this medeclne." The first man to walk up and swallow a small cup of medicine was Hennessy. Clark and the others followed him. "Howly saints," groaned Hennessy. "Batween the pizen burrude and the midicine I fale that sick I'd as lave he did as alive." "Eet's a Christian act I have done, ' cried the skipper as he dosed the last man. "Not a mither's son of ye 's fit to dee and I ha' geeven ye time to repent." In a quarter of an hour the whole crew was leaning over the rails as sick as a lot of lady passengers on a liner in the first blow. That night the frugal supper of strong beef and stone biscuit went down Into thoroughly cleansed stomachs. The turkeys were removed to a place safe from hungry sailors and sail needles. As soon as the weather became warn the fowls became as gay as crickets and were all eaten iu the cabin. When he left the boat in l,ondon Hennessy paused on the wharf and shook his fist at the« steamer. "Bad luck to ye, ye iron pot. If a man asks innything on ye he don't get it, and if he takes it he has to give it up with his own belongin's. Bad luck to ye!" Little Noise in Berlin. Berlin is said to be the most quiet city in Europe. Railway engines are not, allowed to blow their, whistles within the city limits. There is no loud bawling of hucksters, and a man whose wagon gearing is loose and rattling is subject to a fine. The courts have a large discretion as to fines for noise-making. Strangest, of all, pianoplaying is regulated in Berlin. Before a certain hour in the day and after a certain hour In the night the riann must, he silent in that, musical city. Even during the playing hours a fine is imposed fur mere pounding on t.ho piano. Old Boots Made Valuable. The Gaulols of Paris has been entertaining its readers with a patent leather boot story. L seems that, every six months each sewer man of Paris receives a pair of heavy hoots. At the end of the period these articles fiousf and were to he sacrificed when we were at sea. At these fowls the crew glared with, concupiscent, eyes. "i could ate one ov 'em, feathers :and aii," said Hennessy. ' Hi'm nick of the eatin' aboard thia . bloody ship." growled a man. "Whist," warned Hennes^-; "not. a "' wurid. If tlm old man catches a whisper about the atfn' he'll cut it off altoslther." That night the steamer lay in the river with both anchors out and steam up. All vessels lie so in a river where steam at a moment's notice may 1«> required to save going Aground. It was Clark's watch in the engine room from eight o'clock to midnight. The second engineer had nalloed flown'from above If all was right and Clark, after testing the ^ t e a m power, had bailed back that all •was right and that he could go to bed.

'«« cholery and that's the reason that dago sold 'em so cheap. Don't cook any of them, steward; they're deadly poison. They'll all dee one after anither. I'm swoendled." Then he turned fiercely on Hennessy, who was standing under the bridge. "Mon!" he cried," "Are ye sure ye did na" eat those turkeys instead of throwing 'em overboard?" Hennessy glanced at Clark, who was peeping from behind a ventilator, and both looked troubled. T H ! PAINTINQ t B A t O N . Good results ia painting: at the least trust depend largely upon the material choaen. Paiut ia a simple compouud and the Ingredients can be easily tested. The aolid part or pigment should be While Lead. The liquid part ahould :<e Uuseed Oil. Thotoe best informed on painting always buy these ingredients separately and have their painter mix them fresh for each Job. Before the mixing the test is made. Plactj a pea-sized bit of White Load on a piece of charcoal or piece of wood. Blow thtt tlauie agaiuut It and see what it will do. If it is pure White Lead, little drops of bright, pure metallic lead will appeur, and with patience the White Lead can be completely reduced to one globule of metallic lead. This 1» because pure White Lead is made from metallic lead. You may test dozens of other socalled White Leads and not be able to reduce one of them to lead. If Hr*y will not change wholly to lead but leave a residue, It la d e a r that some adulterant is p r e s e n t If you should have your painting done with auch materials, no matter how cheap they might seem, it would be costly in the end. National Lead Company, Woodbridge liuilding, New York City, are sending on request a blowpipe free to any one about to have painting done, so that the White Lead may be tested. With it will be sent a handsqpiely printed booklet having as Its frontispiece the "Dutch Boy Painter," reproduced from the original painting. This little painter has become noted as the guaranty of pure White Lead. A FORGOTTEN ROMANCE.

Who ever saw rosea climbing up a i plastered wall growing out of a hard- | wood floor? Yet, t h a t is what w e I suggest to the Imagination when wo paste paper covered with rosea on our walls. They are neither artlatlc nor true. Roses are all very beautiful, but they were never made t o climb up interior walls and t h e / do not grow from hardwood flooring. The set figures of wall paper are also tiresome and equally disagreeable and repellant. ; The alabastined wall ia the only : correct form of a tinted or solid ool- ! ored wall. Fortunately it is the only | clean way, and more fortunately it Is the only permanent way; the only way that does not Involve the endless labor in the future. In lighting t h e walls some thought must be given the color. Light colors reflect S5% of the light thrown upon I them. Dark colors reflect but 15%. Lighting bills can be saved by choosing a color which will reflect t h e largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns modify it, and so on, through the scale of colors The color scheme of a room not only is dependent upon the color of the carpetlngs but it is also dependent upon the light of the room.

It Acts Slowly But Frequently Produces Blindness. j The curious effect of slow daily poisoning and the gradual building in of disease as a result, is shown in numbers of cases where the eyes are af- 1 fected by coffee. A case in point will illustrate: A lady In Oswego, Mont., experienced a slow but sure disease settling upon her eyes in the form of increasing weakness and shooting pains ( with wavy, dancing lines of light, so vivid that nothing else could be seen for minutes at a time. | She sayB: ' "This gradual failure of s i g h t ' alarmed me and I naturally began a very earnest quest for the cause.

It means that there is nothing about the business which is not "open and aboveboard." It means that a permanent invitation is extended to anyone to come and verify any and all statements made in the advertisements of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Is it a purely vegetable compound made from roots and herbs — without drugs ? Come and See. Do the women of America continually use as much of it as we rue told ? Gome and See. Was there ever such a person as Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick* woman are asked to write ? Come and See. Is the vast private correspondenoa with sick women conducted b y women only, and are the letters kept strictly confidential ? Come and See. Have they really got letters from over one million, one hundred thousand women correspondents? Come and See. Have they proof that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has cured thousands of these women ? Come and See. This advertisement is only for doubters. The great army of women who know fmm their own personal experience that no medicine in the .world equals Lydia E. Pinkham^ Vegetable Compound fox female ills will still go on using and being benefited by it; but the poor doubting, «v4ftring woman must, lor, her own 4&ke,he taught co»indence,forsheaLao might just as well regain her health, Ui RACE AGAINST TIME I d a f " ; . • « f - # f 7 ; •_ •< •«.. .- • • 7'.; o ^ TROOPER LOST O P P O R T U N I T Y BY NARROW M A R G I N !

More especially does it come with redoubled persuasiveness, greater power and sweeter pleading to the man of affairs when the clouds of financial unrest begin to darken the *ky; when the cry of panic causes people to lose their wlta and act'like stampeded cattle; when with reason or without reason there arises before him the speerer of ruin, grinning in his face and waving its gaunt arms in threatening gesticulation.

Some were ruined and a very few be c a m e insane because of their losses. T w o Or three took their own lives. It is when such times come that the statesman, the great financier, and the man of affairs becomes tired of the struggle.

He w a s a fine looking fellow, stood about 15.3 hands high, and w a s as sleek as velvet and weighed close on to 1300 pounds. His owner stood by his side after the awarding of the ribbon and was being congratulated as fast as people could reach him.

[Origin*!.] Before 1 went lo make mi auirauce Into the vault u' tho Teutb Nntluuul bunk Ellen save me a long lulk. Sue said that our way of gettlu' a livlu' was killlu' her uud I'd soon have our kids on uiy hauda to take cure u' till I got cuuKht uud put Iu prison; theu they'd have uo uue to look after them. The boys would soon he Iu Jail, too, and u worse fate was in store for the girla. But what was 1 to d>t't Not au honest job was open to me. But I needed all my nerve, and after a klaa for her and the kids I threw oft" the depression and iu au hour waa Iu the buuk before the vault. I hud set my dark lantern so that the bullseye shone ou the sput 1 wanted to perforate aud waa about to ap ply uiy drill when I heart! a voice be hlud me say: "Do you tbiuk you can do it?" The words were spoken iu the coolest possible tone, aud coolness begets cooliess. 1 couldn't see behind me without takln' up my lamp aud briugln' It to bear ou the speaker, aud before I could do that and shoot I felt reasonably aure a bullet would cou>e crushin' through me somewhere. So I never turns uround ut all, but begins to work my drill, reiuarkln' at the same time: "It won't be any trouble at all. I've done it often before." "Hold on," said the voice, a man's. "Are you artist enough to do the job without Injurin' the door?" "In course," says I. "If you wanted It done that way, why didn't you say •o? But It'll take longer." "Pick the lock," said the voice, "between now and daylight, and I'll give you a new crisp $60 bill." "Couldn't you make It a hundred?" I asks. I reckon my Impudence must 'a' took him flat aback, 'cause he didn't answer for a small while; then he saya: "Fifty is all and more than I can •pare. I'm only a clerk In the bank, and I'm su Serin' under an attack o' honesty just now." I puts away my drill and begins to work with my fingers and my ears, talkln' with the feller soctable-llke. It was very kind o' him to treat me so perllte, for I knowed he wouldn't be that a-way on less he had me covered and ready to enforce orders. Referrin' to his last remark, I says: "I had that disease myself onct, but a wife and a couple o' kids cryin' for bread tuk it clean out o' me. Diseases require medicine, and sometimes the care's worse than the disease. I gave myself a dose o' dishonesty for an antidote, and the habit got fixed on me like takln' a drug." "But you kept the kids from starvta', I suppose." ' T h a t ' s what Tve done so far, but If my work gits a check for the matter o' ten years or so they're still liable to •tarvatlon. If I could 'a' got through 1 few years more they'd be old enough to All their own mouths." He didn't make any answer to this, and I kep' on monkeyln' with the tumblers, Ustenln' to how they fell and makln' up my mind what was the combination. "What's the time?" I asked. \r xrr-n D I J L O I i ,tTwo twenty-five," he said. "It M r s . W i l l B l a n d s p e n t S u n d a y j d o e 9 n . t ,,0 g,n t 0 R c t n K a t now till 5 w i t h h e r b r o t h e r a n d family, ' o'clock. Can you do It In that time?" . j "If I can do It at all." * " e j I heard somethln' between a sigh and Ray [ a grunt. j "Is it very important?" I says. "Yes, it Is. I'm responsible for the vault beln' shut without any'one know- In' the combination. If we can't get in there by 9 o'clock tomorrow inornin' there'll be no end o' trouble. I'll get fired, of course." "Don't worry," I says. "I wouldn't have such a perlite young gentleman fired for all there is inside. Just you •top talkin* to me for awhile—It bothers me—and I reckon I can do the job." I worked till near 4 o'clock before I got on to the problem; then I heard the last tumbler drop Into place, and, turnm' the knob, I opened the vault door. "Keep your face to the vault and lay you'd like to break the dishonesty habit, come and see me here about half past 5 this afternoon." 1 got out just as the dawn waa beginnlu' to break und went home. "Ellen," I said to my wife, "I haven't got any swag, but mebbe I got an honest job." "Oh, Tom!" she gasped. "God grant that It may be true!" I told her the story, und WJJ both went to sleep feeliu' better than any time since I went into the business. The next ufteruoon I called on the clerk, and he succeeded In gettln' me a jot).

For every scandal that finds its way into a newspaper a dozen are suppressed out of consideration for the familys concerned. The average newipaper suppresses a good deal more news of an unsavory kind than it prints. If the newspapers of tl e country published all the free items requested by would-be candidates and those who desired to run others down, etc., there would be but little space for "r«al news." We have turned down columns of such matter the past few weeks. There are a good many ways of supporting a newspaper, says the Hooaier. The first a n d most essential is by subscribing and paying for it. Simply taking the paper does nor help the publisher.. You must pay for it. Then if you are a business man advertise in it.

Lawn mowers have again commenced their seasons work. Several of the coUege students were home last Friday evening to attend the leap year party. Sv:arthout & Plaerway had the Mulnal phone put in their grocery last week and you can nowVall them up at any time as each one ot the Hrm have the phone in their home also. The services Sunday were well attended and as usual all felt well pauL for coming out. There seems to be; much interest in the Sunday school and we look tor the best year yet. This means that every member must I do his part. The pastor made a plea tor attend- j ance at the prayer meetings. These are well attended but many who should be there are conspicuous by their absence. Remember the; other' members cannot do your duty for you i also remember your obligation to the ! church. j Agents were out from Detroit Sat. urday showing up the Brush auto. J. Erwin Monks of the lladley \ schools was home for the party last j Friday evening.

Reason, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Reason of this place and Mr. John Rane of Whitmore Lake, Rev. Fr. Comerford officiating. The bride's gown was of white messaline satin with lace trimmings. Her veil was gracefully draped about her, and she carried a muff ot white sweet peas. Miss Florence Reason, sister of the bride, acted as maid of honor and wore a gown of crepe-dechene with ecru lace trimmings. A picture hat of pink completed the costume and she carried a shower o'. pink bride's roses. Mr. Eugene Reason, brother ot the bride, assisted as best man. A seven course breakfast was served to tiie immediate relatives at the home of the bride's parents. The bride is an accomplished youn^ lady ot this village having graduated from the high school here, the Monroe academy, and the Normal at Ypsilanti anil had taught a successful three yea.':= of school. The groom is a successful merchant ot Whitmore Lake where they will make their home. The young people have the best wishes of a host of friends. C. I). Bennett of Lansing, who visited here recently has just bought a stock of groceries and gone into business at the Capital city for himself. He says that there is so much hustling in ttiat bns.ness that he tears that, he will not be able to get, to the old home coming this year. However, we hope that Chas Van Iveuren. chairman of the Lansing contingent, will present the matter to him in such a manner that he cannot stay away. 1 Going to Build?

T moved slowly down, a step at a Mine, then from over-caut lousness tripped and came ('own the last three steps at once with the clatter of a four-horse team. But nobody stirred. Then I glanced through the open door, and was stricken cold with astonishment, The room was empty! The chairs and tables that a few hours ago 1 had seen scattered about were gone. There was uo sign that the place had been occupied in months. 1 stepped into the room that 1 had seen crowded with eager friends and enemies, eating, drinking, ready for desperate deeds, My stop echoed strangely with the echo of an untenanted house. The bar and the shelves behind It 'Were.swept clear of the bottles and glass*! tjbat had filled them. Bewildered and apprehensive, 1 wondered' whether, after all, the events of the nig-ht were not a fanfgafle dream. . Tbore Was, however, no ttaje to waste in prying Into thia mystery. By my wajoh ifr tfas .cloae^on 9 o'clock, aiid Doddrtjlge K n a p p ^ i g h i ^ e y e n now He making; £ls,,[w.ay to'"t£e oft$e, Where hejha^jjt^tion^'-rirt.v : _ , ^ ' , T p e saloon's front UOOYST were V&Ked fast,'but the sWe dodr ".that led fipca the stairway tor iffi street was fastened only with a'spring lock, and 1 swung It open- and stepped to the sidewalk. - A load left my spirits as the door -vloswl behind me. The fresh ftrfof the morning was like'wine after the close apd musty atmosphere 1 had been breathing. I hurried along the streets with but a three-minute stop to swallow a cup of coffee and a roll, and once more mounted the stairs to the office and opened the door to Number 15. The place was In disorder. The bonks that .had been arranged on the desk -ind shelves were now scattered about in confusion, as though they had been hurriedly examined and , t h r o w n / a s i d e In. a, fruitless search. This was a disturbing incident, and I was surprised to discover that, the door into the adjoining room was ajar. 1 pushed it wide open, and started hack. Before mo stood Doddridge Knapp. his face palo as the face of a corpse, and his eyes staring as though ' !\ > .I-1;1 1 had rise:* before him. CHAPTER'IX. A Day in the Market. The King of the Street stood for ;i moment, staring at. me wi;h that strange and fearsome gazo. What was there in that dynamic glance thn; struck a chill to my spirit as though the very fountain of life had been attacked? Was it the manifestation of the powerful will behind that mask? Wag,.it terror or anger that was to be read In the fiery eyes "that"gleamed*1 from Beueajt)!} tljoae »fu»hy brows, and in»ttjtrVlay ,«J, t&e^qruel mouth, which from under that yellow gray uiustacAe gave back* the-sign of the Wolf* -; •Have; you any orders* sir?"

It flauhed on me ttfat the attack in t h e tiurtou den was or ht» planning, that Terril was his tool, and thfct be had supposed me dead. It was thus that I could account for his Startled gaze aud evident discomposure. "Nine o'clock was the time, you said," 1 suggested deferentially. "1 believe it's a minute or two past.'' <*ifcit ye*,'' bald Doddridge Kuapp, pqiihtg hinisei! together. "Come In here." He looked suspiciously at me as he took a seat at his desk and motioned me to auother. "1 had a Httle turn," he said, eying me nervously; "a vertigo, 1 believe the doctor called W> Just reach my overcoat pocket there, will you?--the left-hand side. Yes, bring, me that flask. ,,: . : t. ,->,•.;..; ., -, • He poured t n i t ' V flfttafl glass of liquor, and the flch"'"odbr o! braudy rose through the room. Then he took a vial from an inside pocket, counted a few drops into the glass aud drank it at a swallow. *When he had cleared his throat of tti« fiery liquor, the Wolf turned to me "Vltha more composed aud kindly fe'&Kcfetldn.?. "And now to business," said my employer with decision- "Take down these orders." . The King ,o!.jthe. Street, was, himself once more, and 1 marveled again at the quickness" and. clearness of his directions. I "was to buy one hundred shares of this stock, sell five hundred of that stuck, buy one thousand of another in blocks of one hundred, and sell the same in a single block at the last session. "And the last'thirig you do," he continued, "buy every share of Omega that is offered. There'll be a big block of it thrown on the market, and more In the afternoon. Buy it, whutever the price. There's likely to be a big slump. Don't bid for it—don't keep up the price, you understand— but get. it." "If somebody else is snapping it up, do I understand that I'm not to bid over them?" "You're not to understand anything of the kind," he said, with a little disgust in his tone. "You're to get, the stock. You've bought, and sold enough to know how to do that, But don't start a boom for the price. Let her go down. Sabe?" I felt that there was deep water ahead. "Perfectly," I said. "I think I see the whole thing. The King of the Street looked at me with a grim smile, "Maybe you do, but all the same you'd better keep your money out of this little deal unless you can spare it as well as not. Well, get back to your room. You've, got your checkbook all right?" Alone once more t was In despair of unraveling the tangle in which I was involved. I felt convinced that Doddridge Knapp was the mover in the plots that sought my life. He had, I felt sure, believed me dead, and was startled into fear at my unheralded appearance. Yet why should he trust me with his business? I could not doubt, that the buying and selling ho had given to my care were important. 1 knew nothing about the price of stocks, but. I was sure that the orders he had given me involved many thousands of dollars. Yet it. might be—the thought struck home to me—that the credit had not been provided for me, and my chocks on the Navada bank would serve only to land me in jail. The disturbed condition of the books attracted my attention once more. The v o b j r r ^ were scattered over the desk and thrown about the room as though somehody\ had heen seeking for a mislaid document. 1 looked curiously over them as I replaced them on the shelves. They were law-books, California Reports, and the ordinary text books and form-books of the attorney. All bore on the fly-leaf the name or Horace H. Plymlre, but no paper or other Indication of ownership could I And, * ' ; . * , ; 1 wondar^rf Idtyjwjiy. tbijs £{y*nire might be, aqdj ulojijre^ to mvtiv\tJouxe ^IdLy aUurcey whw JityJ ^ u l ^ n into the bajjds o^ DoddrW|e;^faiHi, and had, t h r g u g h H ^ s f o r i i ^ p - ^ H i i ^ i c e d lo sell everything tor • the> -mean- of putlage to keep life tu him. But there was small time lor muairrg, and 1 w-ent out to do Doddridge Knapp's bidding in the stock-gamblius whirlpool of Pine street. It was easy to tiiid lkx-kstein aud Eppner, and there could be no mistaking the prosperity of the Arm. The iudifleieuoe of the clerks w my pre* ence, aud the evident coutempi with which an order for a hundred shares of something was being taknu from an apologetic odd gentlemau were enough to assure of that. Bockstein and Eppner were togeth er, evidently consulting over the business to be done. Hockuteiu was tall and gray-haired, with a stubby gray beard. Eppner was short and a little stooped, with a blue-black mustache, snapping blue black eyes and strong blue-biack dots over his face where his beard struggled vainly against the devasting razor. Both were strongly marked with the shrewd, money get ting visage. 1 set forth my busiueas. "You wand to glf a larch order?" said Bockstein, looking over my memoranda. "Do you hut references?" "Yes," echoed Eppner. "References are customary, you know." He spoke iu a high-keyed voice that had irritating suggestions in it. "Is there auy reference better than cash?" I asked. The partners looked at each other. "None," they replied. "How much will secure you on the order?" They named a heavy margin, and the sum total took my heart iuto my mouth. How large a balance I could draw against I had not the faintest idea. Possibly this was a trap to throw me into jail as a common swindler attempting to pass worthless checks. But there was no time to hesitate. I drew a check for the amount, signed Henry Wilton's name and tossed it over to Bockstein. "All rldt," said the senior partner. "Zhust talk it ofer vit Misder Eppner. He goes on der floor." I knew well enough what was wanted. My financial standing was to be tested by the head of the firm, while the junior partner kept me amused. Eppner was quick to take my ideas. A few words of eNplanation and he understood perfectly what I wanted. "You have not bought before?" It was an interrogation, not an assertion. "Oh, yes," I said carHessly, "but not through you, 1 believe." "No, no. 1 think nut. 1 should have remembered you. I thought this might be a favorable opportunity to glean a little information of what was going on in the market. "Are there any good deals in prospect?" I ventured. I could see in the bine-black depths of his eyes that an unfavorable opinion he had conceived of my judgment was deepened by this question, There was doubtless in it the flavor of the amateur. "We never advise our customers,' was the highkeyed reply. "Certainly not," I replied. "[ don't want advice—merely to know what is going on." "Excuse me, but I never gossip. It is a rule I make." "It might interfere with your opportunities to pick up a good bargain now and then," I suggested, as the blue-black man seemed at a loss for words. "We never invest, in stocks," was the curt reply. "Excellent idea," said I, "for those who know too much or tbo little." Eppner failed to smile, and could think of nothing to say. I was a little abashed, notwithstanding the tone of haughty indifference I took. I began to feel very young before this machine- like impersonation of the market. Bockstein relieved the embarrassment of the situation by coming in out of breath, with a brave pretense of having been merely consulting a customer in the next room. "You haf exblained to Misder Eppner?" he inquired. "Den all is done. Here is a card to der Board Room. If orders you haf to glf, Eppner vill dake dem on der floor. Zhust gif him der check for margin, and all is veil." At the end of this harangue I found myself outside the office, with Bockstein's back waddling toward the private room where the partners were to have their last consultation before going to the Board. My check had heen honored, then, and Bockstein had assured himself of my solvency. In the rebound from anxiety, 1 swelled with the pride of a capitalist--on Doddridge Knapp's money. In the Board Room of the big Exchange the uproar had given me a suggestion that the business of buying and selling stocks was carried on in a somewhat less conventional manner than the trade in groceries. But it had not quite prepared me for the scene in the Exchange. After-* little I waa able to discover that the ahouiH and yells and screams, the shaking of flats, and the waving of arms were merely a more or less energetic method of bidding for stocks; that the ringing ut gongs and the bellow of the big man who smiled on the bear-garden from the high desk were merely the audible sigus that another slock was being called; and that the biazeu voiced readiug ol a roll was merely the official au uouncemeui of the record of bargain and sale that had been goiug oil be fore me. It was my goad fortune to make out so much before the purchase of the stocks on my order list was completed. The crisis was at hand in which 1 must have my wits about me, and be ready to act for myself. Eppner rushed up aud reported the bargains made, handing me a slip with the figures he had paid for the stocks. "Any more orders?" he gasped. He was trembling with excitement aud suppressed eagerness for the fray. "Yes," 1 shouted above the roar about me. "I want to buy Omega." He gave a look that might have been a warning, if I could have read it; but It was gone with a shrug as though he would suy, "Well, it's uo business of mine." ' H o w much'.'" he asked. "Wait!" He started away at a scream from the front, but returned iu a moment. He had bought or sold something, but I had not the least idea what it was, or which he had done. "It's coming:" he yelled in my ear. The gong rang. There was a confused cry from the man at the big desk. And pandemonium let loose. "Omega opens at sixty-five," shouted Eppner. "Bid sixty," I shouted in reply, "but get. all you can, even if you have to pay sixty-rive." Eppner gave a bellow, and skated into a group of fat men, gesticulating violently. The roar increased, if such a thing were possible. In a minute Eppner was back, perspiring, and I fancied a trifle worried. "They're dropping it on me," he gasped in my ear. "Five hundred at sixty-two and one thousand at sixty. Small lots coming fast and big ones on the way." "Good! Bid fifty-five, and then fifty, but get them." With a roar he rushed into the midst of a whirling throng. I saw twenty brokers about him, shouting and threatening. One in his eagerness jumped upon the shoulders of a fat man in front of him, and shook a paper under his nose. I could make out nothing of what was going on, except that the excitement was tremendous. Twice Eppner reported to me. The stock was being hammered down down stroke by stroke, There was a rush to sell. Fifty-five—fifty-three —fifty, came the price—then by leaps to forty-five and forty. It was a panic. At last the gong sounded, and the scene was over. Eppner reported at the end of the call. He had bought for me twelve thousand rive hundred shares, over ten thousand of them below fifty. The total was frightful. There was halt a million dollars to pay when the time for settlement came. It was folly to suppose that my credit at the Nevada was of this size.

As I passed into the street I was astonished at the swift transformation that had come over it.

But where cheerfulness and hope had ruled, fear and gloom now vibrated in electric waves before me. The faces turned to the pitiless, polished granite front of the great, gambling-hall were white and drawn, and on them sat Ruin and Despair.

Made L i t t l e Difference to Sportsman Whsrs H i t Birds Were Hit. Alligators in Ecuador. A new minor industry that is developing in Ecuador is the killing and skinning of alligators. This industry was launched in 1903 by an American, who went to Guayaquil for the purpose of hunting down the myriads of alligators which abound in the River Gnayas and its tributaries. He was markedly successful. The business was temporarily interrupted in the early pact of 190") by the untimely death of the American, who had started the fun, but, it has recently been resumed. The total value of the alligator skins exported during the years 1903, 1904. 19lV. and 1906 was $3."S,Oi)0. The skins shipped from Ecuador to this country last, y-ar weighed ii7,000 pounds, and were valued at $4,S7:'>.— N. O. Times-Democrat. , Married in Sackcloth.

"Down in Florida, where I apend the greater part of the winter," said the sunburned New Yorker, "they are not BO particular about observing the game laws and the little niceties of hunting as we are up north, I had frequently seen water fowl shot with out giving them a chance to rise. Coming up to Jacksonville a big German got on the train at Port Orange with a nice string of duck. He sat next m« in the smoker and 1 struck up a con versation with him. " Nice lot of ducks you have there,' I said. " Yah,' he replied. " Where did you get them?' I asked. " Down py de inlet up de creeks," he said. " I suppose you shot them on the wing,' I ventured, remembering the trick of the pot hunters. " Yah,' he replied solemnly, 'on do ving, und in de feet, und in de head, eferywhere, Dere dey are.

We had the h o r s a doctor out and he said it was so bad that he did not think ho could cure it, and did not come again. Then we tried Sloan's Liniment and it cured it up nicely. "One day last spring I was plowing for a neighbor who had a horse with sweeny, and I told him about Sloan's Liniment and he had me get a bottle for him, and it cured his horse all right, and he goes off now like a colt. "We had a horse that had sweeny awfully bad and we thought it. was never going to be any good, but we used Sloan's Liniment and it cured it up nicely. I told another neighbor about it and he said it was the best Liniment, he ever used. "We are using Sloan's Sure Colic Cure and we think It is all right." A. D. Bruce, Aurella, la.

"There," said the man who loved his daughter as he pointed to a motto over the banker's desk, "is my excuse for coming here day after day, 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again.' Do you believe in that sentiment, or have you put it up there simply to deceive people?" After he had scratched, his head awhile the mean old plutocrat said: "Yes, I believe In that I haven't succeeded yet in making you understand that my daughter shall not become the wife of a fool, but I am going to keep on trying till I dot Good morning!"

Bible Blunders. Some curious errors have crept Into the Bible at various times, giving names to the editions containing them. Here are some instances: The "Unrighteous" Bible, from the misprint "the 'unrighteous' shall Inherit the kingdom; the "Placemakera' " Bible, "blessed are the placemakers' " (peacemakers); the "Printers' " Bible, "the 'printers' (for princes) have persecuted me;" the "Treacle" Bible, "Is there no 'treacle' (balm) In Gilead?" the "Vinegar" Bible, "the parable of the 'vinegar'" (vineyard); the "Bug" Bible, "thou shalt not be afraid of 'bugs' (bogles) by night;" the "Breeches" Bible, "they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves 'breeches;' " the "Idle" Bible, "woe to the 'idle' " (idol), and finally the "Wooden Leg" Testament, so called from the frontispiece depicting Satan limping with a wooden leg- Just a Fish Story. We cannot refrain from recording the most curious capture of a fish that has come to our notice. The circumstance was retailed many years ago by Mr. Heathcote, one of the great authorities on the fens. A Mr. Richard- Bon of Peterborough was skating on the dikes when the ice was very clear, and he noticed a large pike swimming In front of him. The fish was terrified by the apparition and swam in front of the skater until it stopped from sheer exhaustion. The skater broke the ice and took out the fish with his hand, which proved to be a pike weighing twelve pounds.

"No, he did not." "Was there any evidence that he had any more money than usual2" "No. We were scraping along just the same as ever."

UTESINEWS OF MICHIGAN A WOMAN'S PLUCKY FIGHT WITH A BRUTE ON A L O N E L Y ROAD. SUSPECT UNDER ARREST. Miaa Lillian Loomis Has a Terrible. Experience Wfth a Strange'* Man Brpkt Into Her. Hgme. Defying a iiiau who demanded ad mlLtanoe at her trout door, Miss HI liau L-oomia, living atom- HUB mil*' eolith of Ionia, fled from her hoiuse in her night clothe* at 1 o'clock Tuesday m o r n l n i wh»n fce began to climb iu a rear window. Ha followed, aud iu the lonely road the woman fought and worsted him aiugle-handed, though she waa terribly injured iu the unequal struggle. A little more than a week ago Mlsa Loomis heard some one prowling about her house during the uight. She lives alone, and the next time she came to Ionia she bought a revolver for her protection. She waa unmolested until this morning. The man then boldly knocked on the door and ordered her to open it. When she refused and warned him to leave he went to the rear of the house aud began to smash in a window. At the same time Miss Loomis grusped her revolver, ran out of the door and started down the road. She had gone bur about ten yards when the man over took her. She tired two shots at hint, as he closed upon her, but both missed. He grappled with her, she dropped her revolver, but be sail to fight with a frenzied strength. Back and forth they swayed and tumbled in the road, the woman never getting the advantage, but defending herself with success, which infuriated the assailant. Like Mies Loomis, he also became exhausted by the desperate struggle and when she finally threw him off and staggered away, he was too weak to follow. With her gown in shreds the woman contrived to drag herself to the nearest farm residence. From there Dry W . E. Ogden was called. He reached her shortly afterward in an automobile and found h»jr fearfully lacerated, her throat cut and bruised, one eye swollen shut and black and her body badly bruised. She will recover, however. Night Watch Van Slyke said that at ,'! o'clock he had put lo bed in the Dexter house a man answering the description of itffss Loomis* assailant. The suspect said he was Grant Avery. aged 38, farmer, of Marshall. He fought against arrest and hart to be choked into submission. At the jail he denied t h e charge, but the sheriff found what appeared to be blond on his hat and clothes. Later he was taken to the Loomis home, where Miss Loomis positively identified him, Miss Loomis in a cousin of Maj. A P. Loomis and highly reaper led. Thesuspect admitted having been arresied three times and serving two tr>rm.s 111 the Ionia prison. The Professor's Divorce Case. I am high spirited and impaiiout, although 1 have fought with myself and am becoming moi>> patient. I have naturally a sharp tongu«\ ami have said many sharp things. I am too particular. I like m see even a match laid at its proper angle. Because 1 try to do things in an exact way I have been too exacting with others, but, thank God, 1 am overcoming that. My ideals are probably too high and too exacting for practical -life. This wan the calm and deliberate analysis of Mrs. Julia V. Hazelton's own faults made by herself on the stand in a Detroit court Thursday morning in the divorce suit brought against her by Professor William S. Hazelton, formerly of the I7, of M. In response to questions by her lawyer she had said that she considered that both she and her husband were at fault in their marital troubles, and she acknowledged that she has many faults. During the proceedings a woman entered carrying the couple's 2 year-old baby, which Hazelton bad never seen before. "Is that your baby?" was-asked of Hazelton. "I don't know," he replied. "I presume it is." A Brave Father. George, Leslnski, the n-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lesinski, of Grand Rapids, was cremated at. 4 o'clock Thursday morning, while the father and mother and four other children were terribly burned, in a fire in their dwelling. The death of all was prevented by the early appearance of a workman, who aroused the family. Gallant but fruitless efforts were made by the fire department to rescue the child, who was in an upstairs room, where the family slept, over their place of business. When the Hames were finally quenched the little body was found huddlerl next to the wall in another room, where in agony the child had been driven to escape Ihe heat and suffocation. Mrs. Lesinski saved her children by groping her way to a side window with a small child in her arms. Three others climbed out on a roof to a shed, from where they slid* down to a wood pile and then to the ground STATE NEWS BRIEFS.

A veteran naval surgeon, speaking of the odd things that crop out In the service, said that one of the younger medical cranks in the navy discovered much virtue in sea water, and no matter what disease came on hie first action was to throw down the patient's throat a large dose of the nauseating liquid. The crow soon learned to hate him thoroughly. In process of time he fell overboard in a choppy sea, and a great bustle ensued. In the midst of it the captain came up and anxiously inquired the cause. "Oh, nothing, sir," replied a tar, "only the doctor has fell into his medicine chest!" Fooling the Youngster. "Mother." said Mr. Popley guardedly to his wife, "why not take the y o u n ^' s t c r to the in a-t-t i-n-o-e to morrow '.-" "I'.i." ehm-.ed in ilii1 >oimgster quietly, "there's onlv one T in 'matinee.''' A;!v:r.e to a Wife. Mh ire is often too good to be taken. hut a very agreeable variety was once given by .fames Kusaell Lowell to a young woman about to be married, "Always give your husband—yoor own way." LOrl urinal.] Mrs. Gothoru entered a trolley cur and while gelling a ulckel out of her purieiuuuuu.lt> laid her Uiiuk muff uu the wear between Uer and a lady who sal uext to her. Having paid her fare aud looked uut of the window, xnedttat lug ou something biie hud on Iter lulud, she •suddenly remembered her mull. It was nut where she had left It, but reposing ou the lap of the lady uext to her, who sat as composedly as If she hud noi appropriated it. 'Turdou me, uiadani," said Mra. Gothoru, 'you have taken up my muff by mistake." "Not at all," replied the lady. "I have my owu muff." Mrs. Gothorn was simply stuuued at this assurance aud was thiuklug what to do when the lady uiotioued to the conductor. The car was stopped, aud Hhe got our. Mrs. Gothoru got out too. She followed, the thief till she came to a policeumn. "Arrest that womau," she said to hlni. "She has stolen my muff." "Can you prove It?" hi* asked. "Yes. Don't you see that it is the same fur as my tippet miuk?" The pollcemau did not look especially convinced. Indeed, he did uot kuow the difference between uiiuk and sable. He went up to the womau with the muff aud told her she was charged by the other lady with stealing her muff. "Do take her away," said the thief. "Bhe's crazy. She's been following me all over town, thinking I have her muff." That ended it. The policeman looked from one to the other for a few moments and, seeing that they both appeared to be ladies, declined to have anything to do with the case. The thief went on, and Mire. Gothorn, realising the futility of following the matter up, abandoned the chase. A year later Mrs. Gothorn attended a dinner given by her friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ames. She was introduced before going to the dining room to several people she did not know. One of them, Mrs. Fteher, was the woman who bad appropriated her muff. Now, Mrs. Gothorn had thought a great deal about the clever trick by which she had made her loss and as to what she would do In case she ever again met the thief. One thing she had determined upon—that §he would not, figuratively speaking, "buck up against a stone wall" by accusing her of the theft She would use stratagem. If Mra. Fisher remembered her as the woman she had despoiled, Bhe gave no evidence of the recollection. Before the party moved to the table Mrs. Gothorn whispered to Mrs. Ames that she would like to be seated next to Mra. Fisher. During the earlier courses Mrs. Gothorn had time to arrange her plan. Mrs. Fisher sat on her right, a Mr. Wctmore on her left. She asked Mr. Wetmore if he had ever seen a black pearl. He said he had not, and, taking a ring off her linger, she showed him one in the setting and told him to pass It on for examination. He did so, and the ring was passed around the table, every one, including Mrs. Fisher, holding and admiring It, till It got back to its owner. Between Mrs. Gothorn and Mrs. Fisher on the table rested the latter's vanity bag. While Mrs. Fisher, conversing with her dinner companion, had her back turned to Mrs. Gothorn and all the guests were Intent on the host, who was telling a story, Mrs. Gothorn slipped her black pearl set ring In an outer pocket of the bag without being noticed. Ten minutes later Mrs. Gothorn said: "Will whoever has my ring please return it to me?" Each guest looked at the others, and •everal of them said that they supposed the ring had been returned. Then Mrs. Gothorn looked frightened. Prom fright she came to anger. "Mr. Ames," she said, "some one of yoor guests has my ring. I demand an Investigation, and at one*, before any one leaves the room." "Mrs. Gothorn," replied Ames, coloring, "you muRt be mistaken. We are all ladles and gentlemen." *1 demand to be searched," Mr. Wetmore spoke up. "I was the one who first passed the ring, and suspicion would naturally rest on nw." He turned his pockets Inside o u t "Come, Ames; search me." Every one, Including Mrs. Fisher, urged that all he searched and that the host and hostess do the searching. They finally consented, and of course the ring was found in Mrs. Fisher's vanity bag. Host and hostess begged Mrs. Gothorn to be satisfied with the recovery of her ring and not bring a scandal on them and their guests. Far from listening to their request, she went herself to the telephone and callad for the police. In a few minutes a wagon drove up to the door, and a man tn uniform entered. "Arrest that woman," aaid Mrs. Ootbom. "On what charge?** asked the officer. "Stalling from me a black pearl "Huvu you evidence?" "Yes; every man uud womau at Tills table Is iny witness. 1 have unuther churge. It is this: A year ago »he j atole u mink muff from me." Up to this polut Mrs. Fisher had looked from Mrs. Gothoru to the orh- j ers with nu expression seeming to in- | dlcute that she thought her acuuber must be demented, but at the becoud charge she collapsed. The blood rushed from her cheeks, and she sank Into H ehalr In a faint. Mrs Coilnirn withdrew the charge of I he Ihcfl of tin* ring, but recovered her mulf. CUAKI.OTTK l'-ON J> LULL.

The famous «joup d'etat by which Napoleon III. gained control of Frauce Is vividly described iu the "Memoirs of Monsieur Claude." Among Uie many anecdotes of the eventful evening of Dec. 1, 1851, M. Claude glvai the following: "Comte de Moruy, the chief spirit of the nocturnal drama about to be performed, was at the Opera Comlque In order to allay suspicion. A lady said to him, 'M. de Morny, Is It true that they are going to sweep out the chamber?' 'Madame, I don't know anything about it,' he replied, 'but if there is any sweeping to be done I Bhall try to be on the aide of the broom handle.' " A Mother's 8aoriflce. Legends in India run that if a woman stricken with leprosy suffers herself to be burled alive the disease will not descend to her children. There was in the northwest provinces of India the wife of a gardener on whom the loathsome malady had fallen. Children were born to her. The disease? grew worse. She Importuned her husband to bury her alive. He at last, yielding to her prayers, summoned his son. The two dug the grave, und four neighbors assisted at the sepulture. So the woman died. These facts were Investigated in a magistrate's court and were proved, In Lengthy Term6. In the suburbs of one of our great cities recently a new resident stopped In front of his neighbor's gate and inquired of the boy swinging thereon: "Is your pa home, sonny?" "No, sir," replied the lad. " H e went t p the road apiece." "Gone afoot?" "No; about a mile."—Judge's Library. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. T i m iri the last day of April, liH)8.
