Th<* action uf the council ltwt night In refusing to renew a. license for a moving picture show of which aerious complalnta had been made proves that the aldermen have the proper view of this subject, aisKeitb the Duluth (Minn.) Evening Herald. The cheap Knows which have «wurmed into all citiet in the punt ttw years have Kive^ .rise i,o considerable jtnuuyance and have caused city authorities more trouble than lhey are worth. As a rule they are located In cheap, flimsy buildings, where there la great danger of lire, and even greater danger of panic in case of false alarms of fire. Exits are few and difficult and lire pro lection Inadequate. Besides, there is a constant temptation to, stimulate interest in these affairs byMaJ Introduction of obscene pictures, and the expectation of this druws a very undesir able class of patrons, making, many of these places centers of grave social dangers. There is no reason why regulations for the protection of amilencea should be less rigid in these places than in larger theaters. There should always be plenty of exits, and the requirements as to flre protection should be ample. Especially important is the necessity of guarding against panic. Last Saturday in St. Paul the flickering of picture filniB in the dark caused a false alarm of flre at a moving picture show, and a catastrophe was narrowly averted. These placeB, which are unwelcome features of city life at their best, Bhould be watched carefully. This is the tendency every. where. Chicago In one day recently wiped out fifty of its cheap shows. BR YAN AND KERN IS DEMOCRATIC TICKET The late King Carlos of Portugal was the only monarch of his time who devoted himself to scientific research for the good of his people. Becoming deeply impressed with the importance of fisheries to a large number of his subjects, he determined to study the distribution and habits of the different kinds of fish in the Portuguese seas, Beginning in 1896, he spent a part of each succeeding year until his death on his yacht, named Amelia, after his queen, personally superintending the work of sounding, dredging, the coW lection and preservation of specimens. But hie services were not confined to the ocean, for he took an active i n t e r est In the welfare and pursuits or the agricultural people. "Dressed like one of themselves," says Sir C. R. Markham In the Geographical Journal, "the king was well known on the hillsides and in the farmsteads." He planned to prepare a complete manual of the birds of Portugal, and published two sections on the thrushes and warblers, containing notes on each bird, with his observations on Its flrBt appearance and departure, locality and habits, and 39 large colored plates. The results of his oceanographic campaigns are given in six volumes, the title-pages having the pimple statement, "par D. Carlos de Braganca"~-"by Dom Carlos of Braganza." Delegates to the Denver Convention Complete Their Task Scenes of Tremendous Enthusiasm When Name of Nebraskan Is Presented—John Worth Kern of Indiana Choice for Vice-President The American Lifesaving society, like the official llfesaving service of the United States, has a great record for beneficent achievement. The annual report shows that last year 673 persons were saved from drowning by the representatives and employes of the society. It appears that, the water department of the organization haa 250' llfesaving stations at dangerous points along the coast and on inland streams not protected by government lifesavers. Of the«e stations, manned by 4,200 men, 165 are In New York city, 211 on the shores of Long Island, ten at Albany and Troy and eight at otheij places along the Hudson river. The work is done through voluntary contributions, and the value of what Is accomplished speaks for itself. Prof. A. Lawrence Lowell, In his new and elaborate treatise on the government of England, explains how and why it is that the rule of the upper classes is still as popular with the great mass of the English people as It is to-day. It. is due, he tells us, to the popular respect which the representative men of the upper classes command by a generally unstained reputation for probity of character. There are exceptions, of course, but as a rule they maintain a clean and upright Ftanding. If this reputation were to be seriously impaired, the ruling class would be promptly swept from power. It Is high character and the popular appreciation of it that holds the su oreniacy. Denver, Col.—In the early morning hours of Friday William Jennings Bryan was nominated tor the presidency by the Democratic national convention. Only one ballot was necessary, the Nebraskan having an overwhelming majority of the votes. Tired as they were, the delegates and spectators greeted the result of the ballot with roars of applause, and marched about the hall cheering and singing. The nomination was made unanimous. The vote by states follows: Dryrin. Johnson. Gray.

Clock Is Stopped. Leading up to the nomination were hours that began with picturesque enthusiasm, which grew into uncontrollable disorder. The nominating speeches were made amid scenes akin to panic at certain stages. At 12 o'clock midnight the convention clock was stopped, so that constructively the nomination of Bryan would take place at Thursday's session of the convention. Will the Friday hoodoo be overcome by this technical evasion? Is a question that was in the minds of enthusiastic Rryan Democrats, as they wended their way from the convention hall in the early morning hours. Wild Scene of Confusion. A wilder demonstration than that over the first mention of Bryan'* name on Wednesday followed the concluding word of the speech of Ignatius J. Dunn of Nebraska, which formally presented the name of Democracy's champion to the convention. An hour and seven minutes, against the one hour and 28 mlnutea of the day before, marked the cheering and tumult, but the densely, overcrowded auditorium made the confusion worse confounded. Nobody had any respect for the rights of anybody else. Everybody was there to see the spectacle, If not to take part in it, and those not able to look out for themselves were trampled upon. Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota and Judge George Gray of Delaware were placed in nomination along with Bryan. Small as was the following ef either, in comparison with that of the Nebraskan, the scenes of confusion, owing to the uncontrollable Mze of the crowd, were approximately rreat. Gov. Johnson was placed in nomination by Winfield Scott Hammond of Minnesota, Connecticut yielding to the gopher state. Judge Gray's name was presented by Irving F. Handy of Delaware. Mr. Handy felt how sadly he was in the minority when, after he had talked awhile, the crowd attempted to choke him off. Ovation for Johnson Speaker. It was a ihing worth noticing that by far the best nominating speech of the convention was made by Mr. Hammond in presenting the name of Gov. Johnson. He had a hard task before him, because he followed not long after a characteristic Bryan demonstration, lasting more than an hour. As the speaker rapidly sketched the early life in poverty of Gov. Johnson and passed on to his political triumphs when he was elected governor the first time in the face of 160,000 majority for Roosevelt, the thing seemed to catch the Imagination of the delegates. The galleries took up the cry, so that at the conclusion of Mr. Hammond's rather brief but forcible speech a demonstration was set on foot which by careful nursing was made to last 25 minutes, or about a third the time devoted to Mr. Bryan, whereas everyone' knew that the Minnesota man would not have one-tenth as many votes as his Nebraska rival. Seconding Speeches. Seconding speeches for Bryan were made by Senator Gearin of Oregon, Gov. Glenn of South Carolina, and Gov. Claude Swanson of Virginia. Gov. Glenn's speech created much excitement, being devoted largely to a defense of Bryan against attacks branding him ss a Socialist. At the conclusion of his remarks, which were not in accord with the spirit of the convention, Permanent Chairman Clayton. who at the day tension haa superseded Temporary Chairman Bell as wlelder of the gavel, exclaimed that William Jennings Bryan needed no defenders, and elicited tremendous applause. The opening session , lasted three hours and brought about the completion of the permanent organization of the convention, with the resounding address of Congressman Clayton of Alabama, permanent chairman of the convention. When the session opened at night, every formality of organization had been accomplished and the decks were clear for the supreme work of adopting the platform and naming the candidates. The scenes within the convention amphitheater repeated thoBe of previous days In the magnitude of the gathering and the eager enthusiasm of the throngs. There were frequent demonstrations as the names of party idols or Jeffersonlan principles were pronounced, but there waB no repetition during the early session of the tumultuous record-breaking demonstration of Wednesday. The address of the permanent chairman, Mr. Clayton, proved to be a caustic arraignment of the failure of Roosevelt policies and an enunciation of Democratic doctrine. The ringing voice of the orator and the emphasis of his gestures stirred the listening thousands to frequent demonstrations of enthusiastic approval. At 2:30 o'clock the platform committee was not yet prepared to report, and the convention took a recess until evening, so that all remaining differences of detail on the platform could be reconciled and the document be ready for adoption and the presidential nomination be reached before the adjournment of the night session. it was 7:50 o'clock when Chairman Clayton began to rap for order, which he secured within the minute. Ollio James of Kentucky moved that a committee of three be appointed to wait upon the platform committee and ascertain when it would be ready to report. The motion prevailed and Mr. James, J. Thomas Heflln of Alabama and F. P. Lynch of Minnesota were named. Mr. Lynch's appointment was the first recognition the adherents of Gov. Johnson had received in the choice of convention committees. "In November next," said. Chairman Cray ton, "we will witness in New York the Tammany tiger drowning the Republican elephant. Therefore I Invite to the stand, for a speech from a Democrat to a Democratic convention, Senator Thomas F. Grady of New York." Senator Grady was given a moRt enthusiastic welcome as he appeared on the roBtrum. When he declared that the convention could nominate no candidate and adopt no platform that would not receive the united and enthusiastic support of the New York democracy, he was given still greater applause and returned to his seat amid cries of "Grady." "Hurrah for Grady." Champ Clark Is Heard. "I am sure the convention will be glad to concur in the request of Missouri to hear from old Champ Clark of that state, one of the knightliest Democrats who ever drew glittering blade in defense of the party." It. was In these words that Chairman Clayton introduced the next speaker, whose appearance on the platform was a signal tor preat cheering. Mr. Clark predicted that the Democrats would sweep the country from sea to sea, that on the fourth of March next a Democratic president would he inaugurated, backed by a Democratic house, and the people would then come Into their rights. The galleries, with a profound Ignorance of the manner in which the • convention should be managed, broke in with cries of "Vote!" "Vote!" When quiet was raatpred, the chair recognized Mr. James,,of the commit- U>* sent to ascertain $ e probability of un early report from the committee ou resolutions. Mr. James reported that the committee would not he ready to report before mUlnight. H e then made a motion that the rules be suspended and that the nominating speeches for presidential candidates be made, with the understanding, however, that no ballot should be taken until after the report of the committee had been received. The motion was adopted, and t h e ruleb were declared by the chair to'be» KUbpended, and nominations to be in order. Nominations Called For. ''The aeewtary will now proceed, toeall the roll of btates. for nominations, lor the office of president of the Uulted States," shouted Chairman Clayton. "Alabama," called the clerk. , The chairman of that delegation arose and was recognised. "Knowing that Nebraska will m a k e no mistake in nominating the right man," he said,. "Alabama yielda to- Nebraska." "I. J. Dunn of Omaha wilt speak for the Nebraska delegation," announced the chairman of t h a t state, while thecheering which followed the first statement from Alabama continued unabated. Dunn Nominates Bryan. Mr. Dunn, who was to make that speech of the convention In which thegreatest interest was felt by the delegates and the spectators, 1B scarcely of middle age. H1B clean-cut, determined- looking, clean-shaven face is SUIT mounted by dark brown hair, which> owing to the emphatic manner 1ft which he emphasized his Bpeech witlt his head, was soon touching the c e n t e r of his forehead. He spoke clearly and with a pleasing manner of delivery- Big Demonstration Starti. Mr. Dunn brought out the name of "William Jennings Bryan" with Intense dramatic force, and the responaefrom the great throng was electric^ The delegates sprang up, the galleries: followed suit, and the demonstration! was under way in a manner that promised to rival Wednesday's exhibition* of enthusiasm. A few moments after the cheering began an Immense oil painting of Mr. Bryan was lowered from behind a monster American shield which had reposed over the chairman's desk ever since the convention began. The appearance of the picture raised thepitch of the outburst, and the delegates were still cheering wildly whent the convention adjourned. I N D I A N A SECURES THE HONOR. John W. Kern of That 8tate Named for Vice-President. 0 Denver, Col.—The building of thenational Democratic ticket, which was begun at 3:41 o'clock Friday morning, was completed at 5:10 o'clock Friday afternoon with the nomination by acclamation of John W. Kern of Indiana for the vice-presidency. When the meeting was called to order at 1:40, the nomination of a candidate for vice-president was at once proceeded with. Gov. Thomas of Colorado placed in nomination Charles A. Towne. John J. Walsh named Archibald McNeill of Connecticut. Hill of Georgia urged the claims of Clark Howell for the position. Thomas R. Marshall presented the name of John W. Kern of Indiana, and the convention enthusiastically took up the cheering which was Started b y the delegation from the Hoosler state. Gov. Polk of Missouri seconded the nomination of Mr. Kern. Hill of Georgia withdrew Howell's name and seconded the nomination Of Mr. Kern. . Charles A. Towne also withdrew from the contest, and urged his friends to unite on Kern. The withdrawals increased the vigor of the demonstrations in favor of Kern, and on the motion that he be nominated by acclamation, which was carried, the cheering resembled closely the enthusiasm which had been evinced at the nomination of Mr. Bryan the day before. Wearied by the two tumultuous sessions, the delegates left t h * convention hall and the great gathering war at an end. Sketch of K|rn'« Career.

In the "best room" of the lonely hillside farmhouse of Abraham Jenkins— a room seldom opened except to the minister and book agents—were assembled, one November day, the clans of the Jenkinses and Perkinses, to attend the funeral of the late Martha Perkins Jenkins, the farmer's wife. A stalwart son, the eldest of a family of nine children, had, after Abraham himself, given voluble testimony to their high appreciation of the depart- The leanest tot aneovey of ma|den slaters of the deceased took the widower aside and a*id.;"I only hope she knows how ?>te'» feelinl ter her; it would be a good bit satisfyin' to her, I'm sure. She sez to me once, sez she, 'Ef I go, I know that Abe'll marry some young thing that never'll tek no interest in the young ones, and they'll be left ter shift.' But ye wouldn't do that, would ye, Abe?" Disregarding this pointed appeal, Abraham Jenkin3 cleared his throat and addressed the assembled company: "I've jest decided ter tell ve, s'long's yer'all here, that I've sort o' felt ez ef I sh'd foller her soon. So I've bought a lot in the graveyard—to be paid fer in instalments—and when T die I want yer ter put me by the side of Marfhy. Then I shell rest in peace. Them's my final instructions." Turning to the maiden sisters of his la mented wife, he added: "I know ye'll tek good care o' them thar youngsters that Marthy sot so much store by." Then he broke down and sobbed wildly, "Oh, Marthy, Marthy, why hev ye from the south and the Hat, treeless regions of the middle west, to whom the towering peaks and dense, sweetsmelling woods were as Inspiring as they were unfamiliar. Then, to the amazement of everybody, when Abraham Jenkins became a widower for a second time, the lonely slab was discovered to have a companion un the opposite side of the family lot.

This second dazzling gravestone appeared one day in March. Before the season was over Wildwood had built ita first summer hotel and planned and subscribed the capital for the narrow gauge branch around Swallow Hill to connect with the railroad at what is now Wildwood Junction. The new road had hardly beep running two seasons when Abraham Jenkins, white-haired and tottering, fol lowed his second wife to the graveyard to which, after hia funeral, all eyes were again turned; Among the townspeople it had always £een suspected that the first slab was put up by the Perkinses and the second with money left by the consort who had been Matilda Brlce. These conjectures were confirmed when the will of Abraham Jenkins was read and a gravestone was erected in accordance with his last instructions, between those of his departed partners, and it was also conceded that in death he had proved equal in wit to all his wives' relatio/is, fqr Jtu^/was the sculpture it bore, surmounted by hands attached to arms spread out as if in benediction: Tourists to-day throng to Wildwood in greater numbers than ever.

Young and frisky, pretty Matilda Brice had attracted Abraham Jenkins at a Grange socia ble, and his mourning had ceased from that moment, That there should be great indignation among the Jenkinses and more or less astonishment in the communityat- large waa a matter of course, but it was some months after the wedding of the widower before a marble slab mysteriously appeared in the now Jenkins lot. in the village cemetery, bearing the following inscription: shoals of sightseers in buckboarda. in automobiles, awheel, on horseback and afoot, and the views from Sunset rock were never finer. But the tide of curiosity has ebbed away from the littlo cemetery on the hill where the bones of Abraham Jenkins rest between those of his two wives, and they and the feuds of their families are almost forgotten.

What could it mean, he wondered. The sexton, whom he happened to catch on the premises, denied all knowledge of the significance of the inscription, but he grinned. The bicyclist was followed not long afterwards by a visitor in a buggy. Soon the <x>untry awains, with their companions, drove from places 25 miles away to read and ponder upon the strange inscription. Picnic parties came and gased upon it and. after eating luncheon in the grove of taJl pines—now known as Wildwood— went away to spread the rntelligpnre of the peculiar monument in Wildwood cemetery and extol the charms of the neighborhood. The years sped swiftly by. and bits of "moss and lichen gathered In the I deeper lines of the carved index and olung to the angles of the sculptured : letters, but an increasing army of vis : itors noted that the traces of time and I decay were periodically cleaned aw:iy j 5y unseen hands.

"The Fossils" is an organization composed of former amateur journalists, and Mr. Beck, as one of the organizers of the National Amateur Press association in Philadelphia In 1876, has never lost his inter est in this most admirable training school for young writers. "In looking back upon those days when the publishing of amateur papers seemed the most, fascinating thing in the world," said Mr. Beck in the course of his address, "1 feel indeed that T am quite in the fossil class.

Twenty-five years ago in Paris aud London the houses that catered to America and the colonies put aside for this trade auy designs that were too extreme or "screaming" Tor the fastidious home buyers, says the Miiltnery Trade Review.

The whale lead* all animals In point of longevity, his age being placed conservatively at 800 to 1,000 years. The tortoise comes next, with an age limit extending from 100 to 200 years.

Timers. Jeopards, jaguars and hyenas live sonic twenty five years in confinement and probably much longer in the wilderness. Swans, parrots and ravens live 1200 years, pelicans forty to titty years, hawks thirty to forty, k'eese eighty years, monkeys and baboons sixteen to eighteen, sitfilrrels and rabbits seven years, queen bees four years, working bees six months and drones four months.— Minneapolis Journal. East African Highlands. The young Englishman, be he officer or settler In tbe east African highlands, cuts a hardy figure. His clothes are few and far between. A sun tiat, a browu flannel shirt with sleeves cut above the elbow und open to the chest, a pair of thin khaki knickerbockers cut short five inches at least above the knee, boots and a pair of putties comprise the whole attire. Nothing else is worn. The skin, exposed to sun, thorns and insects, incomes almost as dark as that of the natives, and so hardened that it is nothing to ride all day with bare knees on the saddle- a Courtesy is an asset, churllshneaa a liability. Chicago Record-Herald. Whales. The largest of all mammals are not the elephants, but the whales. A large elephant weighs about six tons, but the largest whale reaches the immense weight of loO tons and would furnish four carloads of flesh and blubber. About forty different kinds of whales and dolpMns are known, and, although they live in the open Rea and look like fish, they are not fish at all, but are true mammals, breathing air and feeding their young on milk, like cows and horses.

Prstty Lively •'ogling. I was out walking in Kingston, Jamaica, one afternoon, and while on a narrow street I came upon two black women, each apparently in a towering rage. Each woman's tongue was going at a phenomenal rate, but not a word of their screeching jargon was intelligible to me. Finally one of the women scooped up n double handful of the ever present Kingston dust and flung It over the other woman, with a wild shriek of laughter. The dust covered woman retaliated by taking a tin pan she had in her hand and, scooping up a couple of quarts of the dirty water Jn the gutter by the roadside, drenching her assailant with It, while all that part of Kingston resounded with the mad laughter. The two women then closed in on each other and proceeded to engage Iu a prolonged wrestle, which resulted In both of them falling to the ground, where they rolled over and over in a cloud of dust and finally •tood upon their feet, facing each other m a state of dirt and disorder beyond description. Fearing that they would make a second onslaught on each other and wishing to play tbe part of peacemaker, 1 •tapped forward and aaked: "What is the trouble?"

Atiibis Bpjmer gave a blast like a cornet, and, waving his arms frantically plunged into a small-sized* riot. \ had entrusted him with 5,000 shares • of Crown and Diamond to be sold for the 'Jjest price possible, and he was feeding" the opposition judiciously The-price wavered for a moment, but rallied and reached fifi. At this I signaled to Wallbridge, and with another bellow he started an opposition riot on the other side of the room from Kppner, and fed jCrown Diamond in lumps to the howling forces of "the Decker combination. "The battle was raging furiously. There was a, final rally of the Decker fifrcfcs, and the call closed with Ofrbwh Diamond at 63. I had sold 12,- O00 shares. I was pleased at the result. Dodd ridge Knapp had Intrusted me with tjie shares with the remark: "I paid 50 for 'em and they're not worth a tinker's dam. I got an inside look at the mine when I was in Virginia City Feed Decker all he'll take at 60. He's ftten fooled on the thing, and I reckon he'll buy a good lot of them at that." ' 1 ftafl aold Doddridge1 Knapp's'entire lot of the stock at an average of over 65,« had netted him a profit of $15 a share, and had, for a second purpose, served the plan of campaign by : (drawing the enemy's resources to the defense of Crown Diamond and weakening, by so much, his power of operating elsewhere. By the time Omega was reached I ' had the plans full in hand. The aasault on Crown diamond had caused a nervous feeling all along the Hue, and under rumors of a bear raid there had been a drop of several points. Omega felt the result of the nervousness and depression, and opened At 75. There was a moment's b o o — t h e apiiet of a crowd expectant of Rre.it events. Then Wallbridge charged into the throng with a roar. I could not distinguish his words, bur. T knew that, he was carrying out. my order to drop 5,000 shares on the market. At his cry there was an answering roar, and the scene upon the floor fumed to a riot, How the market. was going I could only guess. At Wallbridge's onset I saw Lattimer and Eppner make a dive for aim a n d ' then separate, following other shouting, screaming madmen who piroutted about the floor and tried to save iheuiselvfts from a ifiobWng. 1 heard 70 shouted from one direction, but could not make out whether it set the price of the stock or not.. The diu wHs too confusing tor 'ine to tolluw the course of events. At last Wallbridge staggered up to the rail, flushed, collarless, atid panting for breath, with his hat a hopeless wreck. 'I sold down to 71—averaging 73, I guess—and she's piling in fit to break the floor,'' he gasped. "Did Lattimer and Kppner get your stock?" I could not help asking. "They got about 3,000 of it. Rosenheim got the rest." I remembered Rosenhem as the agent of Decker, and sighed. But Lattimer and Eppner were busy, and 1 had hopes. 'Where is It now?" I asked. "Sixty-nine and a half." I meditated an inBtant whether to use my authority to throw another 5,000 shares on the market. But I caught sight of Decker opposite, pale, hawklike, just seizing an envelope from a messenger. He tore it open, and though his face changed not a line, I felt by a mysterious instinct that it brought assurance of the aid be sought. "Buy every share you can get," I said promptly. "Don't get in the way of Lattimer or Eppner. Put on steam, too." A moment later the clamor grew louder and the excitement increased. I heard shouts of 75, 78, 80 and 85. Decker's men had entered into the bidding with energy. The sinews of war had been recruited, and it was a battle for the possession of every block of stock. IJbus 7ar T ha^tT followed closely the plan laid down fof me by Doddridge Knapp, and the course of the market had agreed with the outlines of his, prophecy. But now it was going up faster than he had expected. Yet I could do nothing but buy. I dared not set bounds to the bidding. I could only grip the railing and wait for the end of the call. At last it came, and "Omega, one hundred and five and three-quarters" was the closing quotation. I feverishly took the totals of my purchases from the brokers and gave the checks to bind them. Then i hastily made my way through the excited throngs that blocked the entrance to the Exchange, brought thither by the exciting news of "a boom in Omega," and hurried to the office. Doddridge Knapp had not yet come, and 1 consumed myself with impatience for ten minutes till I heard his key in the lock and he entered with a calm smile on his face. I gave him my memoranda and tried to read his face as he studied them. "You did a good job with Crown Diamond," he grunted approvingy. "Thanks," I returned. "I thought it wasn't bad for a stock that was not worth mentioning. And here is 7,600 shares of Omega bought and 5,000 sold. That scheme worked pretty well. We made 2,600 by It. U r a - the price went up pretty fast. The King of the Street looked sourly at the figures before him. "You ought to have got more stock," he growled. This was a shock to my self-congratulation over my success, and I gave an inquiring "Yes?" "As I figure it out," he said, "somebody else got 7,000 shares and odd. There were over 15,000 shares sold in your Board." I murmured that I had done my best. "Yes, yes; I suppose so," said my employer. "But we .need more." "How much?" 1 asked. "I've got a little over 48,000 shares," he said slowly, "and I must have near 60,000. It looks as though I'd have to fight for them." "Well, Decker Isn't any better off than you," I said consolingly. "He's ten or fifteen thousand shares worse off than I am." "And he's put a fortune hit© Crown Diamond, and is pretty well loaded with Confidence." "True, my boy." "And 80,^ r argued,' "n«Tftmat he nearer the bottom ot hla sack than you are." "Very good, Wilton," said the King of the Street with a quizzical look. "But you've left ope ^hing out. You don't happen to know that tfie directors of the El Dorado Bantf had1 a secret meeting last night and decided to back Decker for all they. a t e worth." "Rather a rash proceeding," I suggested. * "Well, he had three millions 'of their money in his scheme, so I reckon they thought the tail might, a s well follow the hide," explained my employer. "The only thing to do then is to gut a bank yourself," I returned. Doddridge Knapp's lips closed, and a trace of a frown was on his brows, "Well, this isn't, business," he said. "Now he're is what. 1 want," he continued. And ho tfave directions for the buying at the afternoon session. "Now, not over 125." was his part- * ing injunction. "You may not get much —r don't think you will—though I have a scheme that may bring a reaction." Doddridge Knapp's scheme for a reaction must have been one of the kind that goes off backward, tor Omega jumped skyward on the afternoon call, and closed at 130. And I had been able to get a scant 1,600 shares when the call was over. "I did better than you," said Doddridge Knapp, when I explained to him the course of the session. "1 found a nest of 2,500 and gathered them in at 120. But that's all right. You've done well enough—as well as I expected." "And still 8,000 to get," I said. "Nearly." "Well, we'll get them in due time, I suppose," 1 said cheerfully. "We'll have 'em by Monday noo.i, or we won't have em at all," growled Doddridge Knapp. " H o w s that?" "You seem to have forgotten, young man, that the stock transfer books ol the Omega Company close on Monday at 2 o'clock," he said as the door closed behind him. As I had never heard this interesting piece of information before, I could not in strictness be said to have forgotten I t C H A P T E R X X . Making Progress. "You realJy don't mean it," said Luella severely, "and it's Yery wrong to say what you don't mean." "In society?" 1 asked blandly. "I'm afraid you're a heretic, Miss Knapp." "But we're not in society,—not just now, that is to say. We're just friends talking together, and you're not to say what you don't mean just for the sake of pleasing my vanity." "Well, if we're just friends talking together—" said I, looking up in her face. I was seated on the footstool 'prr- ms P&CJT *Y27ST. UP peerry JUST* before her, and it was very charming to look at her face, so I stopped at that. "Yes," said Luella, bending forward in her interest. Before I could reply, Mrs. Knapp's voice was in my ear, and Mrs. Knapp's figure was in the archway of the alcove. "Oh, you are here," she said. "I thought I heard your voices. Luella, your father w a n t s ' t o see you a minute. And how do yon do, Mr. Wilton?" I greeted Mrs. Knapp cordially, though I wished that she had delayed her appearance, and looked regretfully after Luella. "I want to thank you for your heroism the other evening," she said. "Oh, it was nothing," I answered lightly. "Any one would have done the same." "Perhaps—but. none the less we are all very grateful. If I had only suspected that anything of the kind could have happened. I should never have allowed them to go." I felt rebelliously glad that she had not suspected. "1 blame myself for it all," I bowed. "It was very careless of me." "I'm afraid so, after all the warning you have had," said Mrs. Knapp. "But as it turned out, no harm was done," I said cheerfully. "I suppose so," said Mrs. Knapp absently. Then she spoke with sudden attention. "Do you think your enemies followed you there?" I was taken aback with the vision of the Wolf figure in the grimy passage, a fiend in the intoxication of opium, and stammered for a reply. "My snake-eyed friend made himself a little familiar, I'm afraid," I admitted. "It is dreadful that these dangers should follow you everywhere," said Mrs. Knapp with feeling. "You must be careful." "I have developed eyes in the back of my head," I said, smiling at her concern. "I fear you need more than that Now tell me how it all happened, just ;is you saw It. I'm afraid Luella wa? a little too hysterical to give a true ar count of it." I gave her the story of the scene in the passage, with a few judicious enaandationa. I thought it hardly w,orj;h while to mention Doddridge Knapp'a appearance, or a few other items that were more precious to me than to anybody else. When 1 had done Mrs. Kuapp sighed. "There must be an end of this somo day," she said. "I hope the day isn't far off," 1 confessed, "unless it should happen to be the day the coroner ia called on to take a particular Interest In my person." Mrs. Knapp shuddered. "Oh no, no—not that way." Then after a pause, she continued: "Would you not rather attack your dangers at once, and have them over, than to wait for them to seek you?" I felt a trifle uneasy at this speech. There seemed to be a suggestion in It that I could end tbe whole matter by marching on my enemies and coming to decisive battle. I wished I knew what she was hinting at and how it was to be done before I answered. "I haven't felt any particular disposition to hunt them up," I confessed, "but If I could cut oil all the heads of the hydra at once it would be worth while. Anything for peace and quiet, you know." Mrs. Knapp smiled. "Well, t h e r e ia no use challenging your fate. There is no need for you to act, unless the boy is in danger." "Oh, no, none at all," I replied unblushingly. "And we'll hope that he will be kept safe until t h e danger has passed." IN A MERRY CHASE FELEG AND THE GOBBLER HAVE ENDURANCE CONTEST.

Sat'day morning, 'Peleg, that old gobbler that we been keepin' around the barn for years, jest because he is thin aj a rail, is got to be killed.

"Yea, you may sit down here," she said carelessly. "1 want to be amused." I was not at all certain that I was flattered to be considered amusing; but I was willing to stay on any terms, so we fell Into animated conversation on nothing and everything. In the midst of this entertaining situation I discovered that Mrs. Knapp was watching us, and her face showed no easy state of mind. As I caught her eye she moved away, and a minute later Mr. Carter appeared with,— "Excuse me, Miss Knapp, but your mother would like to see you. She and my wife have some conspiracy on hand." I was pleased to see that Luella did not take the interruption gratefully, but she surrendered her place to Mr. Carter, who talked about the weather with a fertility of commonplaces that excited my admiration. But as even the weather has its limits as a subject of interest and the hour grew late I suppressed a yawn and sought the ladles to take my leave. "Oh, must you go?" said Luella, rising. And, leaving Mrs. Carter to her mother, she walked with me to the hall as though she would speak with me. But once more alone, with only the hum of voices from the reception-room as company, she fell silent, and I could think of nothing to say. "It'a very good of you to come," she said hesitatingly. My mind went back to that other evening when I had left the door In humiliation and bitterness of spirit. Perhaps she, too, was thinking of the time. (TO UK CONTINUED.) A W O R D FOR T H E DANDIES. Fine Clothes and Brave Hearts a M o i l Effective Combination. One is sorry for the dandles of our day, because, though their clothes fit ever so well, and are ever so fresh, custom prescribes a dark or subfuak hue, and no lace, no velvet (above all, not on coat collars); no slashes, puffa and vandykings; no pearls and gold; no gules and azure. The common trousers are shapeless things, and, for perfection, you need two pairs every day. Genius Is stunted, display la checked, and, though you may wear brilliant hose with knickerbockers in the country, glorious waistcoats are rarely seen except in the windows of tailors' shops at Oxford and Cambridge. The dandy can only cultivate Immaculate neatness and perfection of fit. Our officers at Ladysmith, wheft the place was relieved, looked like skeletons, but were as spruce and neat, I have been told, as ever they showed in the park. They cultivated 9elf-respect, like Stendhal, the celebrated novelist, who was said to have been the only man that shaved eve«y day in the dreadful winter retreat from Moscow. This is the dandyism which we admire, the perfection of personal self-respect exhibited in Julius Caesar, Claverhouse and Montrose, combing his lovelocks, like the Three Hundred of Thermopylae, on the morning of his shameful death. He went to the gibbet, "like a bridegroom to his bride." History, and "the human heart by which we live," have an immortal tenderness for the great, the wise, the brave, who have died dandio:< as they lived, gallant hearts and stately gentlemen.—Century Magazine.

It was formerly the belief that to become strong, athletes must eat plenty of meat. This is all out of date now, and many trainers feed athletes on the well-known food, Grape-Nuts, made of wheat and barley, and cut tho meat down to a small portion once a day. "Three years ago," writes a Mich, man, "having become interested in athletics, I found I would have to stop eating pastry and some other kinds of food. "I got some Grape-Nuts, and was soon eating the food at every meal, for I found that when I went on the track, I felt more lively and active.

These were working well HB the shavings were fast t u r n i n g to a dark color showing that they were taking on the values contained in the solution. Whilst, as described the mill is doing itb work and doing it. well; yet it is only what the m i n a t u r e model is to the real working machine. Intern! of this mi nature of a mill capable of h a n d l i n g on an average of ten to fifteen tons a week, we must have the real machine capable of h a n d l i n g F I F T Y T O N S A D A Y .

These conditions plainly visible to any o n e ; assures me of the immediate need of at leaBt a 50 ton mill, built exactly on the lines of our baby mill which is good for from $500 to *S00 per mouth and on the same ore t h e larger mill would earn us $15,000 a month. No further a r g u m e n t is needed for the e x p e n d i t u r e of #b'000 on t h e enlarged mill at once. To say the least, I see a fortune on a comparativ ly small invest m e n t and the ore now exposed in the alone is a m p l e justification for a 50 ton mill and that at once. I am Sincerely Yours, AY.

Mrs. (Ireeue bad become interested in Mr. Whitney's vuterprise and invited him to spend the winter at Dungeuess. "where an abundance of cotton and quiet were assured." One morning he descended headlong into the drawing room from his workshop iu the tilth story' and excitedly exclaimed, "The victory is mine!" Iu deep sympathy guests and hostess went with him to see the model in motion by which Whitney was to ehauge the industrial history of the world. For a few moments the miniature saws revolved without hindrance, and the separation of the seed from the cotton wool was successfully accomplished, but after a little the saws clogged with lint, the wheel stopped, and poor Whitney was in despair. "Here's what you need!" exclaimed Mrs. (Jreerie. She seized a elothesbrush and held it firmly to the teeth of the saws. "Madam," said Whitney, overcome with emotion and speaking with the exaggeration of gratitude, "you have perfected my invention." WHITE HOUSE COURTESY. AJDITIOJAL,LQCIX.

Asrvaitw*, Pub. §»aKS5S5=5H--!- 3 « MICHIGAN Poet of the Children. Riley is of aa universal quality. H e roices the sentiment and wisdom of the common man, and biates these in terms of our own dear laud. Ther* 1B something iu him of Duma and romethiug of the Tentmaker and a dash of Villon, and yet all Riley, all ttriginal, all bom of our own toil— every atom pure American. Riley is more the poet of ibe people than Burns wa« in this: he is the poet of Ihe children. The plain people love children more than all things else. Unly God and country are dearer to the common heart than the infant race growing up to take our place when, tike old trees, we tthall fail at last. Children are visible immortality. The beauty of youth is the loveliest thing In human life; and In the heart of childhood abides the future. The common people know children and understand them, and so does Riley, writes Senator Albert J. Beveridge in his book, "The Meaning of the Times," and other speeches. Shelley's genius arranged brilliant words and amazing thoughts, but he never got as near to the human heart as the man who wrote "Pool Youngens" and "Old Man Whiskery-Whee-Kum- Wheeze," or "The Raggedy Man." I should rather be the interpreter of childhood than to be the author of 'Manfred." What said the sacred Word: "Except ye become as little children ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Pittsburg bankers have suffered so much loss through the dishonesty of their employes that they are said to have decided to establish a Bertillon Bystem by which they hope to keep tab on all their clerks and cashiers. Each bank will insist on its employes having their photographs made and their measurements and thumb marks taken, and these pictures and measurements will be deposited in one central place. In other words, the employes will have to go Into a rogues' gallery before they have committed /*ny crime. As a general proposition, says the Pittsburg Dispatch, it would seem that few self-reBpecting clerks would submit to such a humiliation, and the chances are that if the rule is enforced the Pittsburg bankers will presently find themselves left with employes of an Inferior stamp likely to need watching. A New Jersey woman dreamed that she would die at a certain hour on Sunday, and though a person of good sense ordinarily, she accepted the dream as a warning and prepared herself for death, saying good-by to her friends and giving away her property. According to the laws of suggestion as taught by certain schools of mental healing, she ought naturally to have died while under the influence of this adverse thought; but she did nothing of the kind. The fixed hour passed, and nothing happened. She was all ready to breathe her last, but her breath kept on, and she is still alive, but. very much out of temper. Such a disappointment is enough to put any one in a bad humor. It can be no easy matter to get one's self keyed up to the point of saying farewell to earth and entering the next world, and the discovery that this energy has been wasted and the thing will be to do over again some time must necessarily tM9 trying. 1¾ * recent trial a San Francisco Judge, made arithmetic a test, of mental s o u n d n e s s But If this test had been applied to certain great men they would have been declared Imbeciles. Dean Stanley, for one, would have been set down as hopeless had he been Judged by his incapacity to do sums in simple addition or multiplication. Had Kreble, the writer of fam o u s hymns, depended on his arithmetic, Oxford would not long have known him. When hursar he found to his horror that certain accounts r o u e out nearly 10,000 to the bad. In v&ln did the learned and pious men of the college go over the figures with him. Not until an expert, was summoned was it discovered that Kreble, in casting up a column, had added the date of the year to thr, college's rlohts. ONE HUNDRED AND T W E N T Y - SIX VICTIMS OF b A T H I N Q AND BOATING. ALL RECORDS BROKEN Waters Aro a Greater Menace to Life Then the Deer Hunting Seaeon Deapite All Effort* to Reduce Number of Victim*. STATE BRIEFS, Wilh the boating and bathing season in Michigau just about half over, the appalling record uf 126 already drowned is bhown in records of the secretary of state. For the months of May and June all records in the history of the state were brokvn and July has made a flying start toward surpassing either of the two pr«viou8 months.

The state board of health has recognized the waters as a greater menace to life than the deer-hunting season and this year began an active campaign to try and save some of those who fall victims to the annual harvest of the waters. Cards giving detailed instructions have been distributed throughout the state and practically every summer resort and pleasure spot on the waters has them tacked up In prominent places. Illustrations showing the methods to be used are printed on them. Murder Suspected. Foul play is suspected in the death of John A. Fishpool, whose body was found In the river at the foot of Twelfth street, Detroit, Sunday morning. Fishpool, who was an Bvart, Mich., farmer, was visiting his cousin, James H. Fishpool, and disappeared last Thursday. The cousin called at the morgue Monday morning and identified the body by means of the clothing.

Joseph and Warned Officers That There Would Be Bloodshed—Aged Mother In Farm House. Maklug good their vow that they would never be captured alive, August Gross, the maniac who shot down an inoffensive old man, and Fred, his half-crazed brother, are dead at their farm house home in Pipestone township, near St. Joseph. August was found in the upper room of his house, where he had bled to death from the effects of shots fired by Deputy Sheriff Harry Hogue. Fred, shot through the leg while running from the sheriff's posse, sent a bullet into bis own brain as he lay on the ground, preferring death to capture. As soon as the news was received last night that Gross had shot James Kirk, a meat peddler w h o visited their home, Sheriff Tennant dispatched a party of seven deputies to with orders to watch the house all night and make sure that the brothers did not escape. Wednesday morning he drove out to the scene of the shooting and directed the arrangements to capture the insane brothers. About 8 o'clock the deputies lying hidden abou tthe farm house saw the two brothers emerge cautiously from their house and go to the berry patch, where they began picking berrleB. Both carried .revolvers. Sheriff Tepnavit then divided his posse. Two of the deputies were sent to engage ihe attention of the brothers while the remainder of the party crept up behind them. The two who had been selected for that duty advanced from their cover and shouted for the brothers to surrender. Their only reply was a volley of shots. The party attacking from the rear got very close to the Gross brothers, who instantly opened fire on their pursuers. There was a rapid exchange of shots, and then both the brothers began to run. Deputy Sheriff Harry Hogue pursued Auguat, firing four shots at him with a shotgun, The hunted man staggered, but Anally reached his home and disappeared within the door, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Fred Gross also tried to reach the house, but a bullet from one of the deputies' revolvers striking him In the leg he stumbled and fell in a heap. As he lay prostrate on the ground, he quickly placed his revolver to his head and sent a bullet into his brain before the officers could reach him. He died without saying a word. No sound emanating from the house, the deputies advanced cautiously, their weapons in their hands, expecting every moment to be greeted by a volley from the maniac within. Entering, they found the aged mother of the two men weeping and wringing her hands nlmost frantic with grief. Proceeding to an upstairs room, they found August stretched upon the bed In his room, dead. A single shot from Hogue's gun had pierced his heart inflicting a small but fatal wound whose slow bleeding enabled him to reach the house. Not a word was spoken all through the combat. Both sides seemed to understand that It was a battle to the death. Although the Gross brothers fired many shots their aim was very bad. One bullet went through Deputy Glover's hat, but that was the nearest any of the attacking party came to being injured. The crime for which the officers sought to arrest August Gross w a s the shooting of 70-year-old James Kirk yesterday. Kirk drove about the country peddling1 meat. Tuesday afternoon he drove into the Gross yard whereupon August Gross came out with a revolver in his hand and without a word shot the old man through\ the head, but the attending physician Raid this afternoon that they thought h e had a chance to recover, The Gross brothers lived In the farm house with their mother, w h o is 60 years old, and their sister, Ann, aged 30. After August had shot Kirk, Anna hurried to the Jail here and begged Sheriff Tennant not to attempt to capture her brothers, saying that they had vowed that they would shoot the first man who set foot on the premises. Both of the Gross brothers had been violent for over a year. WIRELETS. GLAZIER OWES'11,400,000. • - * , • * * Schedule ot Property P1ledr W U. '«. DlstHtt Court.

Giles Dudley arrived In San FranciBco to, join his -friend and distant relative Ht-riry Wilton, whom he w a s to assist in un important and mysterious task. and who accompanied Dudley on the ferry boat trip fnto the city. The remarkable resemblance e l the two. men in noted' »nd commented on by passengers on the furry! They see a m a n with snake eyes, which sands u thrill through Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation of the strange errand Dudjey is to perform, but occurrences cause hfnv to know it is one of no ordinary meaning. Wilton leaves Giles in their room, with Instruction to await his return-. Hardly has h* gone than Giles is startled b y a <-ry of "Help." Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there tinds the dead body of his friend, Henry Wilton. And thus Wilton dies without ever explaining to Dudley the puzxling work he w a s to perform in San Francisco. In order to discover the secret mission his friend had «htrusted to him, Dudley continues his disguise and permits himself to be known as Henry Wilton. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton, is employed by Knapp to assist In a stock brokerage deal. Giles Dtfdley finds himself closeted in a room with Mother Borton who makes a confidant of him. He can learn nothing about the mysterious boy further than that it is Tim Terrill and Darby Meeker who a r e after him. He is told that "Dicky" Nahl is a traitor, playing both hands in the Same. Dudley gets his first knowledge of >eeker, who la Knapp's enemy on the Board. Dudley visits the home of Knapp and is stricken by the beauty of Luella, his daughter. He 1B provided with four guards, Brown, Barkhouse, Fltzhugh and Porter. He learns there 1B to be no trouble about money us all expenses will be paid, the Wrf of t h e gUards being paid by one "Richmond." T h e body of Henry Wilton 1$ committed to the vault. Dudley responds to a note and visits Mother Borton In company with - Policeman Corson. Giles Dudley again visits the Knapp home. He is fascinated by Luella and bored by Mrs. Bowser. Slumming tour through Chinatown is planned. The trip to Chinatown. Giles Dudley learns that the party is being shadowed by Terrill. LuHla Is dumbfounded when she and Dudley see her father coming from an opium den. Luella and Dudley are cut off from the rest of the party and imprisoned in a hallway behind an iron-bound door. Three Chinese ruffians approach the imprisoned couple. A battle ensues. One is knocked down. Giles begins firing. Tim Terrill is seen in the mob. A newly formed mob is checked by shots from Giles" revolver. Policeman Corson breaks down the door with an ax and the couple Is rescued. Luella thanks Giles Dudley for saving her life. Doddridge appears at the office with no traces of the previous night's debauch. Following his instructions Dudley h a s a notable day in the Stock Exchange, selling Crown Diamond and buying Omega, the object being to •crush Decker, Knapp's hated rival. C H A P T E R XX.—Continued. "It's much better of you to wish me to come," I said with all my heart, taking her hand. "Come on Saturday," she said at last. "I'm at your service at any time,'' I murmured. "Don't," she said. "That's conventional. If you are to be .conventional you're not to come." And she laughed nervously. I looked into her eyes, and then on impulse stooped and kissed the hand I still held. "It was what I meant," I said. She snatched her hand away, and as she did so I saw in the dim light that hid the further end of the hall the flgnre of the Wolf, massive, dark, threatening, and my mind supplied it with all the fires of passion and hate with which I had twice seen the face inflamed. LuelTa's eyes grew large with wonder and alarm as she caught on my face t h e reflection of t h e Wolf's coming. But a s she turned to look, the figure faded away without sound, and there was only Mrs. Knapp appearing in the doorway; and h e r alarm turned to amusement. "Oh, I w a s afraid you had gone," said Mrs. Knapp. Would you mind, Luella, looking after t h e guests a minute?" Luella bowed me a good\ night and was gone. "Oh, Henry," said Mrs. Knapp, "I wanted to ask you about Mr. Knapp. la your aid absolutely essential to his success?" "I presume not, though i t would probably embarrass him somewhat if I should take ship for China before morning." As I held in the bank securities worth nearly $3,000,000, I believed-that I spoke within bounds. "I suppose it would do no good to try to dissuade him from his plans?" "It would take a bolder man than T," said I, with a smile at the audacity of the idea. Mrs. Knapp smiled sadly in response. "Do you think, Henry," she asked hesitatingly, "do you think that Mr. Knapp is quite himself?" My mind leaped at t h e recollection of t h e Wolf figure in the opium den a. But I choked down t h e thought, and replied calmly; "He certainly has a vigorous business he*;d oit tysjhonlder^" . f> ;; "I Wjldji Y.QU could ttiJJ mp about his 'uu&lfcesa affairs," saiif Mra. Knapp wistfully. "But I know; you won't." "You wouldn't think much of me if 1 did." 1 Bald boldly. "it would be right to tcir me," aho said. "But 1 mustn't keep you stand tug here. Good night." 1 walked down the steps and joined my waiting guards with * budget of new thought and leerings to examine. The three days that followed Doddridge Knapp fought for t h e control of Omega, and the Decker syndicate fought a s stubbornly for t h e same end. I was forced jto admire t h e fertility of resource displayed by the King of t h e Street. He was carrying on the fight with the smaller capital, yet by his attack and defense h e employed his resources to better result. The weakness of t h e syndicate lay in its burden of Confidence and Crown Diamond. Doddridge Knapp had sold out his holdings of both at a handsome profit, but, so far from ceasing bis sales of these stocks, a s I had expected, he had only begun. He suddenly developed into a most pronounced "bear," and sold both stocks for future delivery in great blocks. He w a s cautious with Confidence, but his assaults on Crown Diamond were ruthless. Decker and his brokers stood gallantly to the defense of their threatened properties and bought heavily. Yet in spite of their efforts to buy everything that was offered Crown Diamond "futures" fell to 40, 30, 25, and even 20, closing at t h e afternoon session at 20¾. » But t h e King of the Street was less successful in his manipulations of Omega. T h e speculating public, as well a s Decker a n d Company were reaching out for the stock, a n d it was forced up 10 and 20 points at a time, closing on Saturday afternoon at 325. "This is merry war," gasped Wallbridge, at the close of the last session. "I wouldn't have missed this for five years of my life. Doddridge Knapp is the boy for making t h e market hum when h e takes the notion. By George, we've had a panic this week! And last Monday I thought everything was dead, too!" '".. " ' "Doddridge Knapp!" I exclaimed. "Is h e in this deal, too?" Wallbridge looked at me- in a little confusion, and mopped his head with comical abandon. Then he winked a most diabolical wink, and chuckled. "Of course, a secret's a secret; but when the whole" street's talking about it, you can't exactly call It a closecorporation secret," he explained apologetically. I joined Doddridge Knapp at t h e office and confided to him the fact that the cat was ont of the bag. T h e King of the Street looked a little amused at the announcement. "Good Lord, Wilton! Where are your ears?" he said. "The street had the whole story on Friday. Decker was sure of it on Wednesday. But I kept under cover long enough to get a good start and that was as much as I expected." "How do we stand now?" I asked. I knew that our purchases had not been progressing very well. "There's 500 shares to get," said the King of the Street thoughtfully; "536, to he accurate." "That's not a very promising outlook," I suggested, remembering that we had secured only 400 shares in the whole day's struggle. "Well, there'll be an earthquake In the street if we don't get them, and maybe there'll be one if we do. Decker is likely to dump all his shares on the market the minute we win, and it will he the devil's own job to keep t h e bottom from falling out if h e docs." The King of the Street then gave some brief directions. "Now," he continued, "you a r e to be at t h e Exchange without fall on Monday morning. I'll be there to give you your orders. Don't be one minute behind hand, or there may be Tophet to pay." And he emphasized his words with a n impressive growl that showed the Wolf's fangs. "I'll be on hand," I replied. "Well, then go," he growled; "and see that you conra with a clear head on Monday. Keep your thirst until after the game is over." A few hours later I was a t the house of the Wolf, but I forgot to ask for Doddridge Knapp. Luella received me with apparent Indifference that contrasted sharply with h e r parting, and I was piqued. Mrs. Knapp was gracious, and sailed between us before I had received a dozen words. "Where are your spirits to-night?" she asked ratlingly. "Have you left them in lower Pine street?" "I have a heart for any fate," I returned lightly. "Am I too grave for the occasion?" "You're always under orders to be cheerful," Luella broke in. "or at least to explain the reason why." "He can't explain," retorted >4er mother. "Mr. Knapp won't let h;'m." But presently we found a subject in which Luella roused h e r interest, and her bright mind and ready wit drove away the fancy that had flret assailed me. Then some caller claimed the attention of Mrs. Knapp, and I was content to monopolize Luella's conversation Tor t h e evening. At last 1 was constrained to go. Mrs. Knapp was still busied In conversation with her visitor, and Luella followed ine uuce more into the haii. "Can't you tell jne—-won't you tell me?" she said in a low tone that was the complement of t h e silent speech ot t h e eyes. "I wish I could," I whispered. "1 know it must be right—tt Is right," she said in the same tone. "But I wish that I might know. Will you not tell me?" "I will tell you some day," I said brokenly. "Now it is another's, and I cannot. But it shall all be yours." "All?" "Everything." In another moment I know not what I should have done, so stirred and tempted was I by h e r tone and look. But iu a n instant her manner changed and she exclaimed in a mocking voice: "Now I have your promise, so I'll let you go, You'd better not linger, or m a m a will certainly have some business to talk over with you." And before I could touch h e r hand she was gone, a n d her laughing "good night" echoed down t h e hall. I w a s puzzled by these changes of mood, and decided that Luella was a most unaecountHWe young woman. Yet under t h e subtle influence that she cast upon me I felt t h e bonds of duty relaxed and slipping away. I had now to confess to myself that I loved Luella Knapp. And she? And trying to untangle the skein, I was a good deal startled to feel a touch on my a r m a s I reached t h e sidewalk. "Oh, it's you. Porter, is i t ? " I exclaimed, on recognizing my retainer. "Is Barkhouse here?" "Yes, sir. An' here's Wilson with a message for you." "A message for me! From whom?" Wilson took me aside and thrust an envelope Into my hand. "That come to your room—about 9 o'clock, I reckon." h e said. "Leastways, that's the first we saw of it. An' Mother Borton was there, an' she -P^^i. 'cam: av JAI-VJ*LMV; • sa& MSX> AJ Z^ST. says she must see you to-night, sure. She wouldn't stay, but says you was to come down there before you goes to bed, sure, if you wants to keep out of trouble." I looked at the envelope, and in the flickering light from the street lamp I could make out the address to Henry Wilton. By t h e handwriting and by the indefinable scent that rose from the paper I knew it for a message from t h e Unknown who held for me the secrets of life and death. CHAPTER X X I . At the Bidding of the Unknown. The windows of Borton's shone cheerfully, although it w a s pa3t midnight. At our cautious approach a signal was given and with the answering word a man appeared from the obscurity. "All safe?" I inquired. "It's all right," said Barkhouse. "There's a dozen men in t h e barroom, and I'm not sure there ain't some of the hounds amongst them. But you're to go in the side door, and right upstairs." "Two of you m a y keep a t the foot of t h e stairs, just inside the door," I said. "You may stand watch outside, Barkhouse." There was sound of rude song, and the clink of glass a n d bottle in the bar and dining room as I passed through the side hall. But the door was closed, and I saw nothing of t h e late revelers. In t h e upper hallway Mother Borton stood by an open door, silhouetted dark and threatening against t h e dim flickerings that came from the candle in the room behind her. I had but opened my mouth to give her word of greeting when she raised a warning claw, and then seizing me drew me swiftly into the room and closed and locked the door. "How air ye, dearie?" she said, surveying me with some apparent pride. "You're safe and whole, ain't ye?" "I am safe," I said, "though I had a close .shave in Chinatown." "I heerd of it," said Mother Borton sturly. "I reckon It ain't much good t<* sit up nights to tell you how to take keer of yourself. It's a wonder you ever growed tip. Your mammy m u l t 'a' been mighty keerfal about herdjn' ye under cove*1 whenever i t saiiasi.'* "I was a little t o blame." Jwdiiijted, "but yo,ur warning wag not thrown away. I thpug h\ ^ w a | . well-guarded." /£o£her Boirtoa. sniffed contemptu otlsly. • - "I s'pose you come down here alouc?" "No." Aud I explained t h e dtsposl tion of my forces. "That's not so bad," she said. "They could git up here goon enough, I reckon, IT there was a row. But I guess you didn't think 1 seat for ye jest to tell ye you was a fool ta Chinatown." I admitted that 1 should have expected to wait till morulug for aturb a piece of information. "Well," said Mother Borton, "that ain't It. Something's up." "And what might It be?" I Inquired. "The moon?" Mother Borton did not take this flippancy kindly. H e r face grew darker and more evil as it was framed in the dancing shadows behind her. "You can gjt a knife in ye a s easy as winking if I'll jest keep my mouth shut," she cried spitefully. "Yes," said I repentantly, putting my hand uooa her arm. "But you are my very good friend, and will tell me what I ought to know." The creature's face lighted at my tone and action, and h e r eyes melted with a new feeling. "That I will," she said; "that I will, as if you were my own boy." She seized my hand and held it as she spoke and looked intently on my face. "I was a-Ilstening t o "em," she continued in a low, earnest tone, glancing around fearfully as if she had the thought that some one else might be listening in turn. "I was a-Iistenlng, an' I heerd what they says." "Who said?" I inquired. "The ones you knows on," she returned mysteriously. "What ones?" I persisted, though I supposed she meant to indicate Borne of my energetic enemies. Mother Borton paid no attention to my question, and continued: "I knowed they was a-talklng about you, an' they says they would cut your liver out if they found ye there." "And where is there?" I asked with growing interest. "That's what I was listening to find out," said Mother Borton. "I couldn't hear much of what they says, but I hears enough to git an idea." She bent forward and hissed rather than whispered: "They've found out where the boy is!" "Are you certain?" I asked in sudden alarm. "Pretty sure," she said, "pretty sure. Now you won't go near the place, will ye, de&rte?" she continued anxiously. •wYou forget that I haven't the first idea where the boy is hidden," I returned. "Oh, Lord, yes! I reckon my mind's going," grunted Mother Borton, "But I'm afeard of their knives for ye." "I wish I could give warning," said I, much disturbed by the information. "The protector of the boy ought to know about this. I'm afraid I have done wrong." Mother Borton looked at me fixedly. "Don't you worry, my dear. She'll know about it all right." Again the feeling stole over me that this woman knew more than she told. But I knew that it was useless to question her directly. "I suspect that she knows already. I got a note to-night," said I, drawing from my pocket the envelope I had received from the Unknown. Mother Borton seized it, looked for a moment at the firm, delicate hand of t h e address and drew out the sheet that it inclosed. "Read it, dearie," she said, handing it back after a scrutiny. "I can't tell anything but, big print." I suspected that Mother Borton was trying to deceive me, but I repeated the words of the note: (TO B E CONTINUED.) Use of Adjectives. Certain adjectives a r e reserved for men and others for women. A man is never called "beautiful." Along with "pretty" and "lovely" that adjective has become the property of women and children alone. "Handsome" and the weak "good-looking" a r e t h e only two adjectives of t h e kind common to either sex. Even "belle" h a s no real masculine correlative in English, since "beau" came t o signify something other than personal looks. It i t singular that "handsome" should have become t h e word for a strikingly goodlooking person, since i t s literal meaning is handy, dexterous. But "pretty" likewise comes from t h e Anglo-Saxon word meaning "sly." House Fly a Common Enemy. Although the mosquito specializes on yellow fever and malaria and Is universally recognized as an enemy to be fought outright, scientists have come to regard the common house fly as the more dangerous. The mosquito will spread only one or two diseases, but the house fly's only specialty is filth. Typhoid germs, tuberculosis germs and a hundred other germs that drops its load of refuse in t h e butter or milk. WATCH OVER MONET *.- PRECAUTIONS T A K E N D U R I N G ITS P R I N T I N G .

The paper jcuoney of the government is brought in iron bound chests, locked and sealed, from t h e bureau of engraving and printing to t h e cash room of t h e treasury a n d there delivered upon receipt to J a m e s A. Sample, chief of t h e division of issue, in sheets of four bills each. They a r e complete with signature and numbers, except for the seal, which Is printed upon them with power presses in a small apartment under t h e cash room. These presses a r e worked by t w o people, usually a man pressman and a woman feeder or assistant. When t h e seal has been imprinted upon the bills they a r e counted automatcally, bound in packages of equal numbers by bands of paper, marked, signed by the persons who have handled them, and passed into the adjoining room, where the sheets a r e cut, t h e bills a r e recounted and Inspected, so that t h e Imperfect ones may be thrown out. They a r e then bound Into packages of equal amounts aud taken to the drying vault, where they He upon t h e shelves for several weeks, until t h e Ink h a s become perfectly dry. Every safeguard that Ingenuity can contrive is placed around these trans actions, and the chief of division can tell which of his hundred or more subordinates have touched t h e different tills In the vaults. He knoWs who received them, who printed the seal, who wrapped and cut them; for every package is numbered and its history is recorded in an enormous book. The combination of checks Is so complete that Mr. Sample would know within 20 minutes if a single bill were missing, but he h a s never had occasion to teBt this knowledge except twice within 15 years. Only two attempts have ever been made to steal the money of the government while it is in this stage of its history. On one occasion many years ago a pressman passing a pile of notes upon the table of his neighbor slipped t h e top sheet under his blouse without being observed and carried it with him into the lavatory, where he was successful in concealing it. The theft was discovered within five minutes and It was clearly apparent that he alone could be guilty, although the evidence was purely circumstantial. No one saw him take the money. Therefore he was not arrested and was never mbiicly charged with the c r l m a But he was dismissed from the service and he knew the reason why. The hills were never recovered. He probably destroyed them, as they did not appear in circulation. On another occasion eight or ten years ago a colored messenger whose business was to haul the money about ] on a cart slipped a loose sheet into his ! pocket unobserved while passing be- [ tween the printing and the counting rooms. This theft was also unseen, but the responsibility was fastened upon him. The pile of notes was complete when it left the printer, for it was counted and registered automatically in the press. When it reached the counting room one sheet was missing and the package had not been out of the possession of the colored messenger in the meantime. Therefore h e alone was responsible, an 1 as he could not offer any satisfactory explanation he too was dismissed from the service, but was not. prosecuted because there was no direct proof of his guilt. A Blow to the Gossips. "Why a r e all you women down on Mrs. Weedes?" You were very sorry for her when her husband died." "Yes, and how did she repay our interest In her?

That is the calm and convincing conclusion to which he led the sober thought of the graduating class, a message which will not soon bo forgotten, but one that, is likely to suggest its impelling power at a moment when it. is temporarily laid aside for selfish reasons. Best Way to Tie Shoe-Laces. A way to keep shoe-laces tied is to make a bow in the ordinary way, then insert a buttonhook underneath the center of the bow and draw one loop and one end through (underneath), thus turning the bow practically upside down.

They that go down to the sea in •hips learn much of the mysteries of life. From the coast of Africa there traveled to Scarboro, Me., the painting of an old time sea captain of that town who long years ago was lost with all on board bis ship in the China seas. The ship sailed from the home port with every prospect of a successful voyage, but she never returned to the home land. Years went by and she was given up as lost, tier name was taken from the shipping liat, and no news of her came back to the waiting ones at home. Long afterward a passing vessel picked up «ff the African coast the portrait of an American sea captain such o* the Chinese artiBts paint, and on the back of the picture were the captain's name and that of tho port from which ho sailed. The painting was forwarded to the little American town, and it was found to be a picture of the Scarboro sea captain, master of the lost vessel that had left the harbor so many years ago.—Kennobec Journal.

The largest single grave in the world occupies just exactly one acre of ground, which is surrounded by an iron railing. This enormous grave is located at Pearto Cortez, in Honduras, and is the burial place of a woman. Tlio tombstone occupies the center of the ground im-Iosed. and se\eral wooden figures representing the deceased are arranged in statuelike form in different pans of the ground. There are no fewer Than sixteen of these figures, which in the evening give the place n g'mstJIke appearance. The deceased had died rich and in her will had specified the amount of ground to 1M.1 purchased for her grave and the manner In which it should be decorated. She had many curious notions, and the size and ornamentation of her grave was one of them. It Can'/ Be Beat. The best, of all teachers is experiunce. C. M.

Root growing has becu aucceaafully ywviWvd by. Ti»o*»3ii A. May of Larl more, N. D. In 1905 he grew aix acreb or rutabasuH ami harvested about 8,000 bushels, reports Prof. Thomas Shaw lu Orange Judd Farmer. His laud Is loam, but has in it a little sand. He grows uiillet before the root cron. This aids In cleaning the land. Then as soou aa the crop ia removed he idowa the laud lightly. This is to bury weeda. Then he puts on 30 loads of farm manure per acre. Thia is plowed down in the spring as soon as the grain is sown. The ground is thoroughly pulverized on the surface. It is then made iuto raised drills by ualog a double mold-board plow and marker. The rows are made about 33 inch*** apart. Late in May or early in J u n e the seed is sown iu the raised drills By using a turnip drill drawn by one horse, which sows two rows every round. A little roller attached to the drill covers the seed and Arms the Kiound. The crop is kept clean by horse and hand cultivation. When harvest time comes the tops are removed with a hoe and the turnips pulled out of the ground by running a harrow over them. Mr. May has succeeded in getting great crops of wheat after turnips. In ld06 he grew nearly 42 bushels of bluestem wheat per acre from six acres. The average in the neighborhood was 15 bushels. Of course, this may not follow on all soils, but on his lands he gets his best wheat after roots, the ground having been thus manured before the roots are sown. He has a fine herd of cattle and he finds what everyone else has found who raises roots, that they are a grand food for calves and, indeed, for a n y class of cattle in the winter season. C O W T E T H E R . Plan for Keeping Animal on a Narrow Space. When desiring to tether a eow out on a narrow space of ground the device. suowo^ln \]\o accompanying illustration will be found serviceable. A wire 40 or 50 feet Jong is fastened Tether for Cow. to two stakes which are driven in the gfound as shown. The wire is put tHrough the ring on the end of the cow's chain, which will slip back and forth. A comparatively narrow space can In utilized -in thia manner, says Prairie Parmer, and yet the cow can graze over.WlArgft an area as in the ordinary way. C A R E O F M I L K . "Most Important Part of the W o r k of the Dairy. A speaker a t a Wisconsin institute said: After it ia drawn from the cow, milk should bo at once removed outflide of the barn, to a place where contamination la least likely, and strained. It used to be thought, that when warm ^ r than the surrounding air and giving •off its heat, milk would not absorb odors. This is not. true, however, as when in a warm condition it will absorb them the quickest. Aeration aa a means of bettering the keeping qualities of milk has been much discussed and, like many other qnesrtions, has two sides to IV. if properly done—that is to say, in a clean, swoet atmosphere—I am of the opinion that, it is helpful. Care should bp taken not to aerate in the ham or where the wind will blow from the barnyard or hog sty, as if will then be exposed to greater contamination. 1 have had patrons who had more tninted milk from neglecting this simple precaution than they did before using an aerator. However, If properly done, the milk will be cooled somewhat from tho air passing •through It and any objectionable XMiors allowed to escape. S O I L I N G OPHEHATK>N8. Point* fn Favor of Thia System of Cat* tie R a i l i n g and Dairying. What we call ••soiling" is Keeping animals away from pabtut-uge and biiuglug their green food lu, them, boiling Is common lu ibjckjy-ieuled ^Ulilitrieb. i t ia uiiiioa't • uaklio^riii i a sparsely-settled countries. This Is because in thicJUy-syuled countries land is expensive and labor generally cheap, while in tHinly-settloU countries the laud is cheap and labor high in price, lu the thinly'SCttled country therefore the ehwapest thing to do ia to let the animals hunt their own food. As fast as a country becomes settled it becomes more and more necessary to get all possible out of each piece of land. In the case of dairy cows, soiling does this as compared to pasturage. The chief reason is that the ground that produces the green food for cattle will produce a great deal more when it is not tramped than when it is tramped. Every pressure of the cowa" feet on the soil compacts it and reduces its power to produce food. Injury results both in dry weather and iu wet weather, lu dry weather the soil particles are pressed together some, while in wet weather the feet of the animals break the thin sod and compact the soil below so that nothing will grow. Sometimes a bare hard spot in a pasture will remain for years unproductive. This is avoided by soiling, and the land is made to produce its greatest possible crop of grass. Hut there is another reason for soiling, and that Is to save the manure from the cattle. When the manure is dropped on the pastures in dry weather most of it is destroyed before it gets into the soil. When the cows are kept in one place throughout the summer the manure produced during that time is as great as it is in the winter, and it is put into the soil of the plowed fields, thus saving practically all of it. There are other factors in favor of soiling where land is very valuable. One of these, says the Farmers' Review, is that crops other than grass can be grown on the land and a greater amount of dry matter obtained than in the case of grass. One of these plants is Indian corn, which can be grown for soiling purposes far north of the latitude where it can be grown for the maturing of seed. Many of our dairymen that h a v tried soiling have been able to produce 15 tons to the acre, for either green feeding or silage making. This makes it possible to keep on the same piece of land more cows than canc.be kept if the ppws are p a s t e d unfile summer and fed hay in winter. Soiling makes it possible for goodsized herds of cows to be kept in the edges of cities where it is possible to Ret milkers at a low price. In fact, it is quite probable that this is to be one of ihe directions in which our dairying is to be greatly developed in the near future.

The Missouri board of agriculture offers these suggestions on corn cultivation: A light harrow or weeder used once or twice before the corn is large enough to plow will give excellent Jesuits. Corn should be plowed fairly deep the first time, where the ordinary shovel cultivator ! or double shovel single plow is used, but shallow (not. over three or four inches) thereafter, except. where weeds have gotten large, owing to wet weather, or sometimes on certain lands that have plenty of moisture below. Never cut. corn roots if the weeds can be removed without it. The idea that corn should be cultivated deep at. the last two cultivations has been shown by many experiments to be incorrect, except in the cases above mentioned. Cultivate often enough to keep the land clean and a layer of loose soil, two or three Inches deep, on the surface. When a crust forms after a rain the crust allows the moisture to esecape very rapidly, so by breaking up the crust the evaporation of the moisture is greatly lessened. Then after your corn is too large to plow with a two-horse cultivator it will be well to go through it with a onehorse small shovel or a harrow made for the purpose, and break the crust that may form after rains. When the far la formed is the time that, the corn has its hardest work to do and when it needs the most help, so a crust breaking at that time will aid if a great deal. Any machine used at that time should be run very shallow so us not to disturb the roots of the corn. Screen the Stables. It is expensive work this feeding Hies, as every horse and dairy owner learns from experience. Screened stables and night pasturing in a measure solve the difficulty. Spraying vviih standard remedies is also efficacious. Red raspberry plants can be trans planted when a few inches high, and aro often better than yearling clafits set in early spring. Just 50 years ago next August, on the seventeenth day of the month, the first telegraphic message across the Atlantic via the new cable was sent from England to America. The message was of 90 words, from Queen Victoria to President Buchanan. It took 67 minutes to transmit. It was the first tangible proof that one of the greatest attempts of man in the field of science had succeeded. When a little company of men, under the leadership of Cyrus W. Field, began to organize for the purpose of bringing the old world and the new within speaking distance of each other by means of a protected thread of wire across the Atlantic, they were hooted at as madmen. Capitalists who invested their money in the scheme were thought by their friends to have become bereft of reason. Few imagined the feat possible. By formal agreement, on September 29, 1S56, the Atlantic Telegraph com- | pany was organized. Its object was "to lay, or cause to be laid, a submarine cable across the Atlantic." Among those prominent in the forming of the company were Peter Cooper, Chandler White, Moses Taylor, Marshall O. Roberts and Cyrus W. Field. The first step in the program was to be the laying of a cable across the Gulf of St.. Lawrence, from Cape Ray Cove to Cape North. The first trial was disastrous, because of a furious storm, but in the following year the cable was successfully laid. Newfoundland was to be the western terminus. Assistance was obtained from the United States, Newfoundland and English governments. The United States frigate Niagara, which was detailed to assist in submerging the cable, went to England April 24, 1857. The coiling of the cable in Liverpool occupied three weeks. A strand of saven copper wires composing the conductor, occupied the center. There waa a gutta percha insulation, a covering of specially prepared hemp, and then the outer covering of iron wire, for protecting the cable. Five large coneg were arranged In the hold of the Niagara, round which the cable waa coiled. The length carried made a total of 1,264 miles. The remainder was carried by the English ship Agamemnon, 1,700 nautical miles being required between the temini at Newfoundland and Ireland. Nature seemed to favor the project, for extending along the bed of the ocean, exactly between the two points to be connected, is a great pleateau, like an immense prairie, stretching over an extent of 1,400 miles from [ oast to west, with an average depth of about two miles. As It approaches | the Newfoundland coast it. is entirely ' free from the effects of icebergs which ' ground on shallow bottoms. In every richer part, the Atlnntic is character j ized by abrupt declivities and moun- ' tain heights. i Another advantage was found in I the deposit of infusoria, covering the bottom in abundance. The material showed a tendency to unite with the Iron wire protecting the cable, thus forming a concrete mass, making in emus effect a bed of down for the cable to rest upon. The landing of the cable In Dolus bay was successfully accomplished on the 6th of August, 1857. Never before had such a mass of people assembled on the shores of that bay. They came from miles around—from their huts on the steep hillsides and the mountain passes, from the storied scenes of. Killarney in the Interior, and the bjeak coast in the south. It was a great day for all. Five days the Niagara sailed, overcoming great difficulties in the laying of the cable; then, on the sixth day, when the Niagara had left the shore 300 miles behind, a mistaken order to put on brakes resulted in a strain which broke the cable. There was nothing to do but return to England. The Niagara sailed for New York the following November. Of course a great cry was raised that the scheme had been fairly tried once aud failed, and that any further attempt to achieve this Impossibility was madness and a criminal waste of the stockholders' money. But in the face of all this opposition, the little band of resolute men, led still by the indomitable Cyrus W. Field, determined to make another attempt. They had learned by their experience many valuable lessons. One that it would bo better for the two vessels carrying the cable to meet in midocean, make a splice, and then sail in opposite directions. Other lessons related to improvements in the payingout machinery—it was found impossible to wind in the cable after it was once out, as the very weight of the line was sufficient to break It. Tho telegraph squadron arrived at Plymouth, England, June 3, and after an experimental trip of three days, having received a fresh supply of coal, started for mldocean on the 10th, the point of rendezvous having been decided. When the splice was finished, connecting the cable of the Niagara with that of the Agamemnon, the two vessels parted. A terrible storm came up soon afterward, and after 142 miTos and 280 fathoms of cable had been paid out the line broke. It was only by good fortune that the vessels returned to land In safety. While the squadron was lying In the harbor of Queenstown, meetings were held by the board of directors in London. It was proposed to abandon the enterprise and sell the cable. When the news of this reached Mr. Field, he started in great haste for London. He remonstrated with the despondent, upheld the wavering, and finally, by his will and courage, obtained consent to make another attempt. The vessels, accordingly, met again at the rendezvous, on July 28, and after making the splice with some ceremony, separated. Anxiety was keen, as a kink in the cable, or a hole running through the gutta percha through which not even a hair could be forced, would render all the work unavailing. i i£)n,_ Ihe'> 5th of August, 1858, the eastern -e$d of the fable was landed in Trinity bay, Newfoundland, and the press of the coUAftry sounded loud praises in hfltott" c4 4ha triumph. On the 17th of August, the famous messages were sent and received by cable between Victoria and President Buchanan. Concerning the message, one of the electricians on board the Niagara is reported to have made the statement that. It waa "cooked up" for commercial purposes, his ground being that the cable had ceased to test out long before reaching Newfoundland, and that on several occasions In paying it out. accidents had occurred that, had destroyed the insulation of the cable. In IN fin another unsuccessful attempt, was made to lay an Atlantic cable. A part nf transcontinental cable history that possesses special local interest Is the landing of the French Atlantic cable at Duxbury,, in the year lSfiO. This was the first cable to stretch actually from the shore o' America to the sbsre of Europe. FOUR GIRLS Bettered to Health by Itjdlm E, Fiiikhttm'a Vege table Coiu jtauud* Mmma What TAwjr Jta».

'John Evans,' was the reply. "St. Peter looked through his book, und shook his head. '^You don't belong here,' he said, pointing to the exit. " 'But I am sure I belong here,' said the man. '"Wait a minute,' said St; Peter. "He looked again and in the back of the book found his name. '"Sure,' said the guarditn of the gate, 'you be'orig here. But you wasn't expected lor 20 years.

Made different Cook" I ed different: Tastes different and is different than other BOLERO.—This is a moat useful little coat, in the same material as the akirt; blue and white striped tweed 1B used here, the revers and cuffs are of white cloth stitched at the edge. There is a wrapped seam down each side of front and back, with a small opening at the end of each, ornamented with buttons; buttons also ornament the cuff. BLOUSE OF SILK AND LACE.—This little blouse is quite a novel idea, and would be very smart when made; the bodice part is of the same material as skirt, glace silk would be most suitable; it fastens down the front, and Is trimmed along the outer edge with a piece of velvet, the little lie-over collar is also trimmed with velvet, the underarm parts and the sleeves are 4ut all in one, in piece lace, the sleeve is finished at the elbow with a band and cuff of the silk, the cuff is trimmed with velvet. BLOUSE TO MATCH BKIRT—This blouse would make up well in the same material as the skirt, providing the material is something Boft; the yoke is of piece lace, piped with silk to match the material, which is tucked to fit the yoke, the tucks are about one-quarter inch in width, and are carried down three inches, the sleeve is a simple puff, gathered at the elbow and put into a Bhaped band which is piped with silk,, a little bow of silk is worn at the neck; the waist-band also is of silk. 8 T R I P E 8 A N D POLKA DOTS. Methods of Trimming That Will Make Any Simple Frock Ornamental. One of the pretty ways of making a simple frock ornamental is trimming it with an opposite design in the same coloring. To be explicit, polka dots are in fashion and frocks in this design are trimmed with wide bias bands of plaid or striped material in the same color. A Btriped frock is trimmed with a wide straight band of polka dot material. A plain surface is trimmed with both the polka dot and the striped fabric, and when the combination is well done It does not really look like a patchwork quilt. It can even be carried out in yokes and stocks, as nets in fashionable colors now come with a tiny polka dot of white. It is usually in a small open circle instead of a real polka dot, but it gives the same effect. These nets are put in tiny tucks and used instead of lace, embroidery or muslin. Placing a Couch. Couches are now so much used In sitting rooms that any arrangement that has even a spice of novelty should be welcomed. So try putting the couch In the corner of the room so that it touches the wall at one end and behind it. At the other end, with its back against the divan, stand a bookcase, which is a complete screen to the couch. The latter piece fronts out toward the room, so that any one entering sees the bookcase at once, and on going farther into the room the couch comes into view. L I T T L E ERRORS T H A T WORRY. How Some of Them May Be Avoided by the Home Dressmaker. It ia usually the little errors in dressmaking that are the most irritating and annoying to the woman who does her own dressmaking. The unlined waist is one of the hardest garments to fit correctly. When wrinkles come at the base of the armhole, the trouble usually is that the armhole has been made too Bmall. If it is, do not cut it out, but simply snip it with the point of the scissors to see if the wrinkles are removed. If the wrinkles are not removed, then trim the armhole. If the waist wrinkles at the base of the collar line In the back, see if your belt is in the proper place exactly at the waist line and that the line from the center back of the belt is plumb. If you are sure that the belt is correctly placed, then snip the collar with the point of the scissors at each side of the center back of the collar and wrinkles in all probability will be removed.

Debutantes-to-be are most particular about their ribbon accessories, and gorgeous, indeed, are some of the sashes, coiffures and blouse bows noticed at the week-end society festivities to which members of the younger generation are sometimes admitted. With her Dutch-necked dinner frock of girlish white Swiss or point d'esprit the jeune fllle wears a flowered sash tied trimly about her slender waist and arranged at "the back in butterfly loops, two of which may be drawn half way to the shoulders. The hair bow and sleeve rosettes may be of softest chiffon satin, matching the grounding of the sash, hut her opera glass bag is preferably of the figured sash ribbon, lined to match its satin bordering. u '•^S^lSiThampton't fcr* W*t« W.

The surplice waist has a broad trimminc; hand made of triangular sections of tucking put together with a narrow heading and edged with l.ice. At each side are folds of lavender satin and a bovr of ribbon with long ends conceals the :loalng in the waist. Hosiery Decorations. Since the fad for decoration has b e come so widespread, the girl with a talent for fashioning flowers and bow knots with her needle is decorating the fronts of her hosiery from toe to ankle with quaint designs. These are of natural flower tints on the delicate hosiery worn with evening gowns and in self tints for those matching street costumes. Sometimes lace butter flies and bow knots are used as in serts, first being appliqued upon the webbing which is then cut away from the underside. Faded hosiery of a first-class quality may be successfully home-dyed, and thrifty young worn en overloaded with passe evening hosiery may easily transform it into a sort suitable for street wear by dyfing it tan, taupe, hrmvn or blue.

In the sense In which Sir William Harcourt remarked "We are all social ists now," it may be said that all Anglo- Indians are believers in Swadeshi While all reasonable Anglo-Indians deprecate the senseless agitation and the unsound economics of the extremist advocates of Swadeshi principles, they are all anxious to assist that natural development of indigenous industries and the creation of new ones upon which the future prosperity ol the country so largely depends.—Pioneer Mail. The Revolving Cat. Little Susie has always been deeply Interested in mechanical toys, and numbers several among her choicest possessions. Recently the family cat, having apparently eaten something which disagreed with her, began a mad race around the room, leaping chairs, diving under sofas and turning somersaults. Susie's mother, much frightened, seized her small daughter and mounted a convenient table. But Susie remained unscared. Clapping her hands in glee, she shouted, "Wind her up again, mamma; wind her up again!" CHANCE FOR EMMA.

A physician of Wash., D. C, says of his coffee experience; "For years 1 suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes I was almost frantic. I was sallow, constipated, irritable, sleepless; my memory was poor, I trembled and my thoughts were often confused. "My wife, in her wisdom, believed coffee was responsible for these ills and urged me to drop it. I tried many times to do so, but was its slave. "Finally Wife bought a package of Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but she made it same as ordinary coffee , and I was disgusted with the taste. J (I make this emphatic because I fear many others have had the same expe- j rience.) She was distressed at her failure and we carefully read the directions, made it right, boiled it full ; IB minutes after boiling commenced, and with good cream and sugar, I liked it—it invigorated and seemed to ! nourish me. "This waa about a year ago. Now I have no headaches, am not sallow, , sleeplessness and Irritability are gone, ! my brain clear and my head steady. ! I have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a new man. "I do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing, but I had dropped it before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose. "Postum not only seemed to act as an invigorant, but as an article of nourishment, giving me the needed phosphates and albumens. This Is no Imaginary tale. It can be substantiated by my wife and her sister, who both changed to Postum and are hearty women of about 70.

Finally, however, tnr tub became so full that it threatened I tu overflow on to the floor, and Bobbyr having a proper respect for the mater- ' ual slipper, became frightened and tried vainly to turn off the water. Be- I ing unable to, for some reason, he | gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood, I and then, mindful both of his religious { training and the occasional visit* of the plumber, he plunged down ou hi» knees, and hlu elder sister, who happened to be passing at the moment, heard him exclaim, fervently: "O, Lord, please stop this water running! And, O, Lord, if * you can't do it, please send somebody that can!" His prayer was answered, for hi» sister rose to the occasion and turned off the water and temporarily saved Bobby from the much-feared alipyec.

They were both greatly alarmed, as he was a child who rarely cried or complained when hurt. Mamma washed the blood c.T and, examining the cut. said: "Why, dear, it's not so very bad.

It may be operated by a belt connected with a steam engine, by a tsmall electric motor, or by hand cranks. The invention is a rotative compression and automatic machine, regulating Itself to all speeds, whatever may be the temperature of the condensing water used. The important feature 1B a cylinder in which the chemicals are Bealed—-the letter not requiring renewal and lasting as long as the machine Itself—and wfcicb, revolving in water, produces tjje icty It can also produce t'p^| l^Vi TjpP *»•_ chine bats no joint piece, 116 pressure Kauge, no suction or regulating valve. It will work In water reaching even i 1¾ degrees Fahrenheit, and saves 98 per cent, of cooling water, and 76 per cent, of motive power as compared with any other freezing machine Known. The Germans have also a new freezing device especially adapted to household and field hospital use, says the Technical World Magazine. It is very simple, and could be manufactured for about one dallor. It consists merely of a double wall tin vessel wlf h a capacity of five gallons. The hollow space between the two walls is about an inch across. By the gradual admission of carbonic acid into this hollow space through an opening at the bottom, and from there to the vessel proper through a cross arm tube, it is claimed that water may be converted into ice in the space of 60 Beconds, and that meats, fruits, and beverages, such as beer or wine, may be chilled or frozen in a few seconds. This effect le produced by the sudden great reduction of temperature caused by the rapid expansion of the carbonic acid, which is admitted from an ordinary carbonic acid reservoir. Wings Like a Dove. Man long since ceased sighing for wings like a dove, that he might fly to the uttermost parts of the earth, and began practical experimentation in imitating nature's handiwork. Overcoming the law of gravitation was least difficult. The problem of propulsion was easily solved. The problem of adequate control and reliable power of direction has been the challenge to the aviators. Even that is being successfully met, and the day of the airBhlp is at hand. The announcement that Count Zeppelin has sustained flight for two hours, during which his airship was manipulated in the most complicated maneuvers, indicates that the reward of success has come to his persistent effort and expenditure. From possibility to practicability may be but a ftep, remarks the Boston Herald. Inventive genius which has made the impossible possible will not hesitate at the task of rendering it practical and usable. An official statement of wheat ex ports for a week in June is significant as illustrating the fact repeatedly mentioned of late—that big shipments are going by way of Canada because of the railroad and canal facilities, with low freight rates, provided in that quarter. It appears that the total receipts at all Atlantic and Gulf ports were 1,874,304 bushels, the exports being 1,655,828 buib.els. These exports by cities were as folio we: New York, 519,347 bushels; Boston, 119,418 bushels; Philadelphia, 144,000 bushels; Baltimore, 80,- 000 bushels, and Montreal, 794,036 bushels. Thus Montreal leads the procession. Of course later there will be heavier shipments from American porta, including New York, but the figures tell their own story of the advantage Montreal possesses at present. And Canada thus presents an object lesson as to the value of cheap anc" ample transportation. The derision of the British admiralty court that, the cruiser Gladiator was alone to blame for the collision with the American liner St. Paul off the I.slr- of Wiirht during a snowsform last April is a complete exoneration nf the i'"if'i'-:: and crew of the American ship. Tl.PiV had hern inf ima'inns that the !<' lii;.i!i;.Y v.-oiiid be the basis for such » liiidin;;, bm the formal verdict is conclusive and Kratifyin- The affair, rosiiitins;- in the loss of over a score of lives, was most lamentable, but the decision nf the court shows Hint. American seamanship was in no wise at feult. ENRAGED BY A DIVORCE SUIT A MONROE FARMER KILLS W I F E AND HIMSELF. NOT KILLED BY OFFICERS Violence by Men Cauaea Several Deaths and by Cyclone the Destruction of Several Homes, Lying in wait for his wife in Redford township, near the Michigan-Ohio line, after they had reached a divorce agreement, William Fox shot and killed his wife, wounded John Heath, who pursued him, and then killed himself. Heath's wound Is not serious. The Fox family formerly lived on a farm near Grand Rapids. They had been married 15 years, but last March Mrs. Fox left her husband because of his brutality. She brought her five children to the farm of Heath in Bedford township and Fox knew nothing of her whereabouts until she brought suit for divorce In the Monroe courts. Mrs. Fox proposed to keep four of the children and permit Fox to have Rosalie, one of the girls. Monday they had a conference in the office of Prosecuting Attorney Kiley, who was Mrs. Fox's attorney. Kiley said they left the office apparently satisfied. Fox left first and went to a point near the Heath farm, apparently premeditating the murder. Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Heath went to Toledo and took the Toledo & Western to Trilby, from where they started to drive home. As his wife was about to step from the vehicle, Fox shot, saying, "Here's the only kind of divorce you'll ever get, you—" The woman fell and died a few minutes later. "For God's sake, Fox, what have you done?" shouted Heath, who was nearby. "I've fixed her and I'll fix you if you touch me," replied Fox as he ran. Heath pursued and had almost overtaken him when Fox turned and fired. The bullet glanced from a suspender clasp, inflicting a deep gash across Heath's breast. Heath gave up the chase. Sheriff Briggs was notified and started for the Bcene, after ordering a description of the murderer telephoned to surrounding towns. Farmer neighbors had in the meantime started a hunt for Fox. His body was found in the shadows of a church in the vicinity with a bullet in his head. Fox had recently obtained work on a farm near the Heath place, saying he wanted to be near the children. He bought the revolver in Toledo last week Mrs. Fox in her divorce petition charged that her husband had repeatedly beaten and otherwise abused her. STAT2 BRlttFS. Brothers 8eff-8laln. The coroner's jury in returning a verdict in the deaths of Fred and August Gross, the maniac brothers who died last week in a battle with the sheriff's posse in Pipestone township says: 'Fred Gross came to his death in Pipestone township on .luly 14 by shooting himself in the head after he had beeri wounded. We further believe Fred Gross took his own life through fear of falling into the hands of the sheriff's force." The general belief is that the younger of the two brothers could have been taken without losing his life. The jury found August Gross came to hia death "while resisting arrest." It is understood relatives of the dead hoys are preparing to bring action against the responsible parties. Summer Resort Damaged. In a 10-mInute cyclone at Higgins' lake Saturday night, cottages were crushed under the fall of trees, many persons had narrow escapes from death and the fleet of sail boats and launches WRR capsized. The cottage of Lloyd Harmon, of Bay City, occupied by Alexander Taggart, of Indianapolis, his wife and two children, was demolished by a falling tree. Three big pines crushed the cottage of the Hickey family of Detroit at Lakeside. The Huntington pavilion, also owned by Detroiters, was likewise' crushed. Miss Mershon. of Saginaw, fled Just before it collapsed. Other cottages were badly damaged. Most of the resorters fled from the buildings when the storm started. Flve-Year-Old Hero. Chummy Reay, 5-year-old son of Mather Reay, of Traverse City, is the hero of Old Mission. Graham, his 2- year-old brother, fell from Reay's private dock into water over Chummy's head, but the hny plucklly sprang into the water and brought the baby ashore. Graham was unconscious, but was resuscitated. A number nf older persons saw the child fall in, hut Chummy had him out before they could act. And He Got Nothing. Michael Malley, the Muskegon toxinr. hip farmer who herder! 17 cattle in his barn and refused to let the owners have them until ihey pnid him for damages done to his corn Hold, eapitlilaii d when the sheriff's deputies arrived with replevins and took the rattle from him. Malley would have received a small sum from each farmer if he had been willing to compromise for less than fa a head, but he held out for $85 damages. Kalamazoo and Muskegon labor men hold a joint celebration in Muskegon Labor day. Fire destroyed the three large barns and granary on the Everett farm, one mile south or Lansing. Glenn Bowerman, aged 14, died in the Muskegon river near Siar City, when seized with cramps. Percy Crumb, aged 4, of Colma, pulled over a bottle of boiling water and was scalded to death. Seized with cramps, Louie Schoultz, aged 18, of Menominee, was drowned before his brother could reach him.

Ralkes, a well known resident of Ann Arbor, was killed in an accident in a Cleveland plant while installing a blast furnace. While swimming In a small pond naar his home in Coldwater township, Willis Powell, aged 17, was seixed with cramps and drowned. Discovering a man stretched on the floor of her room in the early morning Miss Georgia Leonard, of Port Huron, drove him out with a revolver. The bones of a woman were discovered by sewer excavators in South Niagara street, Saginaw. They are believed to be those of an Indian. Edward Erb, night clerk of the Elliott house, Sturgis, is missing and officers are looking for him because of a robbery of the cash drawer. Every alternate residence on Sycamore street, Lansing, for a distance of two blocks was entered by burglars. Generally the telephone wlreB were cut, first. Exertion brought on by her work to give a dinner party for her husband on his 79tb birthday caused the death of Mrs. D. W. Richards, aged 71, of Flint, from heart failure. The unknown man injured when John M. Child, of Charlotte, was killed on a Lansing ft St. Jobvs trestle, was identified as Edward McNeill, a Massachusetts man. He will recover. James Buckelow, an alleged abusive and intemperate huabaad* was killed by a Kalamazoo car while on a spree, it is said. His wife refused to receive the body or have anything to do with the burial. Bids received for the construction of a training school building at the Western Michigan Normal school <U Kalamazoo have been rejected by the state board of education and no bids asked for. While driving through the woods on his route, Rural Mail Carrier Charles Hoffman, of Boyne City, narrowly escaped being killed by a falling tree which crushed out the lif? of his horse. A posse comitatus had to be formed in Ceresco and all on account of a mad dog. The dog led the posse a three-mile chase into the country, when 19 shots and 11 rifles concluded the exlctement. The unknown man who rolled into the mill race at Battle Creek a few days ago while asleep and drowned has been identified as John White, a small farmer and lineman who lived near Three Rivers. Eleven amateur ball players, arrested by Mayor Tubbs, of Charlotte, for playing on Sunday, retaliated by getting a warrant for him for keeping his grocery open the same day. He pleaded guilty and paid $5. As the result of an accident at the Port Huron Engine & Thresher company's plant, Albert Relkin will lose his left eye. He was running a gbaper when the tool broke anfl struck the ball of the eye. Attacked by a bulldog, Mail Carrier F. W. Wells, of Kalamazoo, was bittea several times in the fight which followed. He finally pieked the dog up by its hind legs and swung Its head against a brick wall, stunning it.

T H E STANDARD OIL DECISION ROUSES T H E PRESIDENT'S JUST IRE. MAKES HOT STATEMENT A Re-trial Will B« Made and the Case Vlgoroualy Pressed to a Conclusion, That's Sure. President Roosevelt is determined (hat the case against the Standard Oil Co. will not be dropped, but the re-trlal ordered by the United, States Court of Appeals will be made. Secretary Loeb gives out this statement: The president has directed the attorney general to immediately take steps for the re-trlal of the Standard Oil case. The reversal or the decision of the lower court does not in any shape or way touch the merits of the case, excepting so far as the sine of the fine is concerned. There is absolutely no question of the guilt of the defendants or of the exceptionally grave character of the offense. The president would regard it as a gross miscarriage of justice if through any technicalities of any kind the defendant escaped the punishment which would have unquestionably been meted out to any weaker defendant who had been guilty of such offense. The president will do everything in his power to avert or prevent such miscarriage of justice. With this purr pose In view, the president has directed the attorney general to bring into consultation Frank B. Kellogg in the matter and to do everything possible to bring the offenders to justice. Coming like a bolt out of the blue sky, the president's pronouncement caused a sensation when it was received. It showed clearly, it was declared, that the president is determined that the Republican nominee for the presidency shall not suffer because of the reversal of the big fine, and that he wants the country to know that the administration has not changed In its feeling toward the Standard Oil Co. His statement makes it doubly clear, It is pointed out, to those who had thought that, temporarily at least, the president had passed into a quiescent state so far as the corporations are concerned, that President Roosevelt has experienced no change of heart. The pronouncement breathed the same spirit as that which emanated from the White House in the days when the executive chamber echoed with denunciations of Standard Oil and other corporations and "Malefactors of great wealth." The president, it is learned, is greatly wrought up over the decision of the federal judges. He was amazed at their finding and determined at once to take some decisive action, It was to discuss this situation that Secretary Root was summoned to Oyster Bay yesterday* The president, Secretary Root and Wm. H. Taft spent three hours together going over the matter. Americans Win. America leads in points scored at the Olympiad, which closed Saturday afternoon with the grand distribution of prizes. Counting five points for firsts, three for seconds and one for thirds, the standing, including Saturday's events, is: IT. S. of America, 118 1-3; United Kingdom, 80 2-3. Sweden had 12 1-3; Greece, 8; Norway, 5; Italy, 3; France, 2 1-3; Hungary, 1 1-3; Germany, 1; Finland, 1. The games began July 13 and have continued every day since, Sundays excepted. The London Observer says: "We did not shine in the traditional forms of athletics. The American exhibitions of strength and skill were magnificent. In whatever way we count the wins, they undoubtedly carried off the greater honors." The Quebec Celebration. In spite of the fact that the prince of Wales flirted with no other Canadian cities and declined pressing invitations to go further west, his highnesR has accomplished little if anything in stirring enthusiasm or promoting heartier patriotic spirit in conservative Quebec. In this respect, one of the chief objects of his visit to the tercentenary celebration has been a failure. Quebec people live in the history of the past. Nothing but the old French regime appeals to them.. Emulating the example of the cautious turtle, they extend their heads and take a telescopic view of the celebration and then retire to the innermost recesses of their shells. Those Turkish Concessions. The momentous act of the sultan ! of Turkey in proclaiming the restnj ration of the constitution of ]S'7ri has left the population nf Constantinople unmoved. The aspect of the city is perfectly normal, and there have been : no manifestations of satisfaction of J any kind. The stolid fatalism of the j Moslems, who for centuries past have been accustomed to a regime of per sonal rule and who are not used to political freedom, is thought partly to explain the apathy everywhere apparent. jjeth Bullock, marshal of Soutlj Dakota, and Jaiuott* a* u frontier peace officer, has been invited to accompany President Roosevelt on hia hunting r.uur in Africa. Patrick Hr»<Uey: of NewarK, N. J „ gave up a pint of arterial blood t o have it Injected into hie k i t e ' s vema and so saved her life. H e ia none the worse for the operation.

A line of aeroplanes, or dirigible balloons, to carry freight and passengers between New York and Boston is to be established within 18 m o n t h s by the Aerial Navigation Co., if i t s plans do not miscarry. City Detective Richard Kelly, of Pittsburg, reports to the international opium commission at Washington t h a t the use of opium is confined almost entirely to thieves, gamblers, Immoral women, doctors and clergymen. Mrs. Rothenburg was showing h e r apartmentB in New York to two men who claimed to be tenement inspectors, when one of them tore an earring, valued at 1125, out of her ear. The woman's screams attracted attention and the man was oaptured. "John D. Rockefeller la a good Baptist and it is abominable the way hehas been traduced," said Dr. John E .

President Roosevelt's summary dismissal from the army of the eight cadets who are charged with hazing under classmen at the West Point military academy, leaves Secretary Wright no alternative but to issue formal orders of dismissal.

SYNOPSIS. Giles Dudley arrived in San F»anclsco to join hit* friend and distant relative Henry Wilton, .whom he was to uaslst In an important and mysterious task, and who accompanied DucHey on the terry boat trip Into the city.

He learns that there is a boy whom he is charged with secreting and protecting. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton, is employed by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerage deal. Giles Dudley finds himself closeted In a room with Morther Borton who makes a confidant -of him.

Dudley discovers that he loves Liulla Knapp. Mother Borton tells Giles Dudley that "they've discovered where 'the boy' is. ' CHAPTER XXL—Continued. "Send six men to 8 o'clock boat. Come with one in hack to courtyard of the Palace Hotel at 7:40." Mother Borton's face changed not a whit at the reading, but at the end she nodded. "She knows," she said. "What does it m e a n ? " I asked. " W h a t is to happen?" "Don't go, dearie—you won't go, will you?" "Yes," 1 said. "I must go." "Oh," she wailed; "you may bo killed. You may never come back." - "Nonsense," said I. "In broad daylight, at the Palace Hotel? I'm much more likely to be killed before I get home to-night." Her earnestness impressed me, but my resolution was not shaken. Mother Borton rested her head on the table in despair at my obstinacy. "Well, if you will, you will," she said at last; "and an old woman's warnings are nothing to you. But if you will put your head in the traps I'll do ray best to make it safe after you git it there. You jist sit still, honey." And she took the candle and went to a cprner, where she seated herself at a stand. Mother Borton appeared to have aome difficulty in arranging her word* to her liking. She seemed to be writing, but the pen did not flow smoothly. At last she was done, and sealing her work in an envelope she brought the flickering light once more to the table. "Take that," she said, thrusting the envelope into my hand. "If you find a one-eyed man when you git into trouble give him that letter I've writ yo, and It may do ye some good. It's t h e best I can do fer ye. You'd better go now and git some sleep. You may need I f J. thanked Mother Borton and pressed her hand, and she held the candle as I tiptoed down the stairs, joining my waiting guards and went out into the night. "Where are Barkhouae and Phil lips?" I asked, as we turned our faces toward the west. Porter gave a low whistle, and as this failed to bring an answer, followed it with one louder and more prolonged. We listened, but no response came. "We'd better get out of here," said Wilson. "There's no telling what may happen when they hear that whistle." "Hist! What's that?" said For tor. drawing me back into a doorway. i There were running steps on t!.< block above us, and I thought a shadow darted from one side of the street to the other. ' "There seem to be friends waici» r for us," said I. "Just get a good %:i£ of your clubs, boys, an.qL K??P X2UL revolvers handy In case taey thiuk they have a call to atop u s r ' "Hold on," said Port**.» t h e r e ' s a gSfcg" of "elff jtibflrft 1 l e e a dozen of tTriPu *&* ^ p'p'-rc tfae enfts they re utter we l i a d betteV t u t f«**ft." "1 believe you are right," aaid I, p a r i n g into the darku«a». t rnuid set* a contused mass, but whether of men or boxes I could only guess. "We'll go up there, and you can cut around the other way," said Porter. "There's no need tor you to risk it." "There's no need for any one to risk it. We'll cut together." "This way then/' said Wilson. "I know this part of town better than you do. Run on your toes." And he darted past Borton's and plunged into an alley that led toward t h e north. Porter and I* followed; an quietly a* possible through the dark and noisome cut-off to Pacific street. WUsua turned toward the bay, and crossing the street at the next corner followed the main thoroughfare to Broadway. ,"I guess we're all right now," he gasped, as we turned again to the west, "but we'd best keep to the middle of the street." And a little later we were in sight of the house of mystery which fronted, forbidding and gloomy as ever, pn Montgomery street, and I was soon in my room and in bed Tor what sleep I could snatch. At the earliest light of the morning I was once more astir, but half-refreshed by my short and broken rest, and made my dispositions for the day. I ordered Porter, Fitzhugh, Brown, Wilson, Lockhart and Abrams to wait for me at the Oakland ferry. Trent, who was still weak from his wound, I put in charge of the home guard, with Owens, Phillips and Larson as his companions, and gave instructions to look for Barkhouse, in case he did not return. Wainwright I took with me, and hailing a hack drove to the Palace Hotel. There was a rattle of wagons and a bustle of departing guests as we drove into the courtyard of the famous hostelry. I stepped out of the hack and looked about me anxiously. W a s I to meet the tJnknown? or was I to take orders from some emissary of my hidden employer? No.answering eye met mine as I searched the place with eager glance. Neither woman nor man of all the hurrying crowd had a thought of me. I glanced at the clock that ticked the seconds in the office of the hotel I saw that I had been early, and that it was even now but 20 minutes to the hour. The minute hand had not swept past the figure VIII when the door opened, there was a hurried step and two women stood before me leading a child between them. Both women were closely veiled, and the child was muffled and swathed til! its features could not be seen. One of the women was young, the other older—perhaps middle-aged, Both were tall and well-made. I looked eagerly upon them, for one of them must be the Unknown, the hidden employer whose task had carried Henry Wilton to his death, who held my life in her hands and who fought the desperate battle with the power and hatred of Doddridge Knapp. It was to the younger that I turned as the more likely to have the spirit of contest, but it was the older who spoke. "Here is your charge, Mr. Wilton, "she said in a low, agitated voice. As she spoke I felt the faint suggestion of the peculiar perfume that had greeted me from the brief letters of the Unknown. "I am ready for orders," I said with a bow. "Your orders are in this envelope," said the Unknown, hurriedly thrusting a paper into my hand. "Drive for the boat and read them on the way. You have no time to lose." The younger woman placed the child in the hack. "Climb in, Wainwright," said I, eye \$g the youngster unfavorably. "Will he travel with us, m a ' a m ? He's rather young." "He'll go all right," said the elder woman with some agitation. "He knows that he must. But treat him carefully. Now good-by." "Oakland ferry, driver," I cried as I stepped into the hack and slammed the door. And in a moment we were dashing out into New Montgomery street, and with a turn were on Market street, rolling over the rough cobbles toward the bay. C H A P T E R X X U . Trailed. "Did you see h i m ? " asked Wainwright. as the hack lurched into Market street and straightened its course for the ferry- "Who?" "Tom Terrill. He was behind that hie; pillar near the arch there. I saw him just, as the old lady spoke to you. hut. hefnre I catches your eye, he cuts •.inrt runs." "1 didn't see him," I said. "Keep the child he J. ween us. and shoot anybody who tries to stop us or to climb >nto the hack. 1 must read my orders." "All right, sir." said Wainwright making the child comfortable between us. I tore open the envelope and drew fortn the scented paper wftfc its familiar, firm,* y%i "delicate Danflwrltlag, and read the words: "Take the trajn with your men for Llverwbre. Await orders a,t the hotel. Protect the boy ,at all hazards." Inclosed in the sheet we're 1goId notes to the value of $50u—a thoughtful detail for which I was grateful at the outset of such an expedition. 1 thrust the money Into my pocket and pondered upoji the letter, wondering where Livermore might be. My knowledge of the geography of California was exceedingly scant, and Livermore was no where to be found In my geographical memory. I had some thought of questioning Wainwright, who was busy trying to make friends with the child, but reflecting that I might be supposed to know all about it I was silent. Wain wrigth's efforts to get the child to speak were without success. The little thing might from its size have been Ave years old, but it was dumb-— frightened, as I supposed, by the strangeness of the situation, and would speak no word. Why was he put thus In my charge? W h a t was I to do with him? Whither was I to carry nim? I reproached myself that I had not stopped the Unknown to ask more questions, to get more light on the duties that were expected of me. But the hack on a sudden pulled up, and I saw that we were before the long, low, ugly wooden building that sat square across Market street as the gateway to San Francisco, through which the tide of travel must pass to and from the Golden City. "Look out on both sides, Wainwright," I cautioned. "You carry the boy and I'll shoot if there's any trouble. See that you keep him safe." "There was nearly 10 minutes before the boat left, but the hurry for tickets, the rush to check baggage, the shouts of hackmen and expressmen, the rat- I'-Ups^* (le and confusion of the coming and departing street cars that centered at the ferry made us inconspicuous anvong the throng as we stepped out of the hack. "Here Fitzhuah, Brown," I said, catching sight of two of my retainer*, "get, close about. Have you seen anything— any signs of the enemy?" "I haven't," said Fitzhugh, "but Abrams thought he saw Dotty Ferguson over by the Fair Wind saloon there. Said he cut up Clay street before the rest of us caught sight of him—so maybe Abrams was off his nut." "Quite likely," I admitted as we turned the jutting corner of the building and came under shelter by the ticket office. "But keep a close watch." The other four retainers were In the passageway, and I called to the ticket seller for the tickets to Livermore. By the price I decided that Livermore must be somewhere within 50 miles, and marshaling my troop about the boy, marched into the waiting room, past the doorkeeper, through the sheds and on to the ferry boat. I saw no sign of the enemy, and breathed freer as the last 4>elated passenger leaped aboard, the folding gangplank was raiaed and the steamer. with a prolonged blast of the whistle, slid out into the yellow-green water of the bay. "Keep together, boys," I cautioned my retainers. "Has any one seen signs of the other gang?" There was a genera! murmur in the negative. "Well, Abrams. will you slip around and see if any of them got aboard? There's no such thing as being comfortable until we are sure." In the hurry and excitement of preparation and departure the orders I had given and received, and the work that filled every moment, I had been conscious of the uneasy burden of a task forgotten. I had surely neglected something. Yet fcV my life 1 could nor see that, we lackcV. anything. I had my seven retainers, the boy was safe with us. I had my purse, we were well armed and every man had his ticker, to Livermore. But. at last the cause of my troubles came to my mind. "Great Scott!" I thought. "It's Doddrid: r» Knapp. That little engagement in tne stock market is casting i t ; shadow before." , It seemed likely Indeed that the de- Tnands of my warring employers would clash here as *sh as in the couttjft over the boy.' f • •»• ,' « „. j Yet witbj rc%l| |tfre vrngef ul feel ins t h a t fiU^d jjiy i f a r t as J looked on the child and calfed' up the memory of my murdered friend, I could but feel a pang of regret at the prospect that Doddridge Knapp's lortuue should be placed in hazard through auy unfaithfulness ot mine. My uncomfortable reflections were broken by the clanging engine bells aud the forward movement of the passengers as the steamboat passed luro the slip at Long Wharf. "Stand together, Doys," I cautioned my men. "Keep back ol the crowd. Wainwright will take the boy, and the rest of you see t h a t nobody gets near him." "All right," said Wainwright, lifting the child in his arms. "It will take a good man to get him away from me." "Where's Abrams?" I asked, noting that only six of my men were at hand. "You sent hjm forward," said Lockhart. "Not for all day." "Well, he hasn't been seen since you told him to find out who's aboard." "It's uu use to wait for him," 1 growled. "But the next man that takes French leave had better look somewhere else for a job, for by the great horn spoon, he's no man of mine." We marched off t h e boat in the rear of the crowd, I in no pleasant humor, and the men silent in reflection of my displeasure. And with some difficulty we found seats together in a forward coach. The train was the east-bound overland, and it seemed hours before the baggage was taken aboard and the signal given to start. I grew uneasy, but as my watch assured me that only 10 minutes had passed when the engine gave the first gentle pull at the train, I suspected that 1 was losing the gift of patience. (TO BE CONTINUED.) GIRL KISSES JUDGE'S FEET. Receiving Light Sentence for Serloui Offense, Prisoner Is Overcome. Philadelphia, Pa.—A remarkable scene was witnessed in the court ol Oyer and Terminer when Josephine Darmska, a girl of 19, prostrated herself before the judge and covered his hands and feet with kisses. The girl had been convicted of man slaughter for causing the death of her newly born infant on May 24, and Judge Von Moschzisker had imposed trie lightest sentence possible, which meant only five months' imprisonment. Throughout the day the girl had cowered in the dock, a wretched figure. She is little more than a child in size, and evidently was in fear o! a verdict of death, having been in dieted for morfler In the flrst degree. She was, therefore, overjoyed by hei escape from the gallows. As she passed the bench on her way t o prison she turned and ascended the steps. Two court officers rushed tc stop her. but the judge waved them aside and held out his hand with a kindly smile as she approached. Sh« seized and kissed it, and then, taking the other, also kissed that reverently. When the girl dropped on her knees a court official took her by the arm, but. bursting into tears, she threw herself on the floor and kissed the judge's feet. This done she arose, smiling, and went to prison. MADE HIS BLUFF STRONG. Trouble Wat the Horse Would Not Be Reasonable. Charles H. Wilson, the superintendent of Alfred G. Vanderbilt's remarkable stables, said at Newport of a groom he had discharged: "The man was a bluff. He pretended to know all about horses, when in trnth he could hardly tell a hackney from a cow. We soon got on to him. His case was like the fake blacksmith's. There was a chap who thought blacksmithing looked simple and easy, and so, being out of work, he decided to have a try at it. . He went to a smith and asked for a job. 'Well,' said the smith, 'you are a strong, likely-looking fellow. What experience have you had?* Eleven years',' was the prompt answer. 'All right, I'll try you,' said the blacksmith. 'Shoe t h a t mare while I go home to dinner.' The smith, on his return from dinner frowned, and said to the new hand: *WbaL haven't you got that mare shod yet?' The bluffer bit his lip, flushed and replied: I cant' get her confounded foot in the vice.' " Could Have Their Choice. : Frederick Sandys, described by 1 Ruskin as the greatest of English : draughtsmen, was once asked before he was known to farm* to paint the I portrait of the mayor of a town, a ' most estimable -roeor.

A. C.DIXON, D.D., Putor of th« Ch*c*fo Av«. (Meodr'a) Charck, CUMCO. "This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Can a in Galilee, and manifested forth his glory."—John 2:11. A study of this miracle will give us a gflmpse of the true glory of our Lord while upon earth. 1. We 8«« th* Glory of His $OQ'al Nature. Jesus was no ascetic. He did not shut himself between f o u r walls, barring out the world. He was truly in t h e world, though not of it. While bearing the sorrows of the community he euared equally their joys. He broke up several funerals, but never a feast. He promoted the right kind of festivity. He came to increase our joys and diminish our sorrows, and he knows as no other does how to make our very sorrows channels of joy. We are not surprised, therefore, to find him at a marriage feast mingling with the people and showing forth the glory of his social nature. 2. We See the Glory of His Power. It was quietly displayed; no outward show. He simply willed and it was done. "The conscious water saw its Lord and blushed." Such is the glory of Christ's power to-day. It displays itself, not in the tempest, the earthquake or the fire, but in the still small voice. The great powers of nature are invisible and inaudible.* We wonder at thundering Niagara, and yet the vital forces of the forest draw up much more water than pours over Niagara falls. The quiet working of nature that lifts the cloud and distills the rain, giving life and beauty to meadow, 'field and flower, displays the true glory of God. The heavens1 declare his glory by quietly shining, and the firmament showeth his handiwork without making ado over it. 3. We See the Glory of His Sympathy. Sympathy with the embarrassed and perplexed. Here was a family with more guestB than they expected, and their supplies ran short. The Lord comes just in time to relieve their embarrassment. It suggests to us that Christ is ever sympathetic with the little worries and perplexities of life. It is easier to bear a great calamity than these little irritations. Stanley said that he did not fear the lions and tigers of the African forest as much as the "jiggers' aud the ants. They killed more men than the savages. 4. We See the Glory of His Method. The world's method is fo give the best wine first and keep the worst for the last. We see that in the experience of the drunkard. He has a time of jollity and what he calls happiness for a few years, but the end i3 delirium tremens, death; the good wine flrst, the bad last. How forcibly this was illustrated in the life of Landseer, the great animal painter— a man before whose works of genius people in the art galleries of Europe stand t&-day in rapt admiration. Near to close of his life he went around from place to place with swollen nose and bleared eyes, the pity of friend3 and the scorn of enemies. Byron gave the world's version when he wrote: "My days are in th*» yellow lenf: The flower, th* fruit of life i» jfone; The worm, the ranker and tha grief Are mine alone." "Beau Brummel" put it in not quite so poetical a form, when, after he had danced with princesses and frittered away his life, he pointed to a dog lying in the sun, and said: J't wish I was that dog." TSese men of t h e world had the good wine first and the bitter dregs last. Christ may require of us self-denial, toil, struggle-, • patience. There may come into our lives sickness and death. We may have truly a hard time of it; but, depend upon it, the good time will coma to the Christian, and these severe experiences will makf the coming Klory all the brighter. In what striking contrast with the sentiments of Byron and Brummel is the experience of Paul: "I have fought a ?ood fight, I have finished my course, I ftav« kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of ri^hteo-ianess." The •hencefn-th" is the Chrisfiar'a good wine. His life may be a ha:tie to frrht, a rac^. 'o rnn. a rhargo to kbaU> rac •. :ini !'i;f victory wil \;n prire is :\\. '\\ crown thfl e '^nd n?

We can state without fear of a contradiction that there are hundreds, yes, thousands, of operations performed upon women in our hospitals which are entirely unnecessary and many have been avoided by LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND For proof of this statement read the following letters. Mrs. Barbara Base, of Kingman, Kansas, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: " For eight years I Buffered from the most severe form of female troubles and was told that an operation was my only hope of recovery. J wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice, and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has saved my life and made mo a well woman." Mrs. Arthur It House, of Church Road, Moorestown. N. J., writes: 44 J. feel it is my duty to let people know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetablet Compound has done for me. I suffered from female troubles, and last March my physician decided that an operation waa neccaaary>, My hiiih*.nd objected, and urged me to try Lydia E.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots, and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills, and has positively cured thousands of women who-have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulceration, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, and backache.

The rustling of an evening newspa par a* it was folded hastily and laid aside came from the head of the table. Mr. 0tgg» turned haatlly tn bis chair and peered at If re. Giggs over hi» glasses. "What's that?", he asked sharply. "I was saying," Mrs. Giggs answered, aa she poured the coffe*, "I was saying that those trees ik* the front of the house need pruning. They're just too ragged for anything. Now to ruor row yqu call—" * "That's it. That's it. Call up a tree trimmer, eh? More expense. 1 won't do It." Mr. Giggs' tone wa* spiteful. "But John—" "Don't John me, don't do it. Every time you look at me it's more expense. Don't you know anything but the art of spending money?" Mrs. Giggs' answer was apologetic. "I just thought I'd mention it," she arid. • "YeB," Mr. Giggs replied, "that's the way you always do. Now if those trees must be pruned, I guess it'll have to be done. But I'm not going tc spend $9.68 for some wild-eyed freak to jab at those trees with a hack saw and then look wise as he takes the money. If any idiot's going to fool with those trees, 111 do it myself. Got a saw?" •'Nothing but that rip saw you got the other night." "Nothing but a—; say what do you want, a whole carpenter shop? Now, gimme that saw; I'm going to fix those trees." An admiring group of neighborhood children gathered on the front steps to watch Mr. Giggs as he came from behind the house, saw in hand: "Now," Mr. Giggs. said, "the way to trim a tree is to trim it. Guess I'll climb the tree." For about ten minutes Giggs was busy with his pocket knife cutting off small twigs and branches. Then he decided that the top of the tree needed attention. "Takes up too much sk*y," he yelled to his wife from among the branches. "HI Just climb up and top off that tap limb." "O-o-h-h-h, John, do be careful." "Huh." And the answer of Mr. Giggs was sarcastic. "Any old time father don't know what he's doingwell, just call the hearse." Prom limb to limb he clambered un- M finally he came within reach of the top branch. "Hold below where you're sawing," Mrs. Giggs urged from the porch, "if you don't, you'll—" -"Shut up," Giggs answered testily. "Who's doing this, anyway?" Deeper went the saw into the wood. Suddenly, there was a crackling. The limb leaned far to one side and Mr. Giggs, horticulturist, went with it. But he didn't stop. Still clinging to the saw with one hand he went downward, through the branches of the tree, to fall, saw and all, upon the pavement. Slowly he picked himself up and limped to the house. "Mrs. Giggs," he began painfully, "Mrs. Giggs, I—" A feminine shriek interrupted him. "John McAnany Giggs, you've gone and killed yourself—all because of that mean, hateful, parsimonious old nature of—and just look at that tree. Ruined. Every limb broken." "Well, look at me," Giggs said plaintively, as he inspected a bleeding finger. "Serves you right. That's juat what it does. Yes, sir, it serves—weU, Mr. Giggs, I'll tend to the spending of the money after this. Oo you hear? Answer me—do you hear?" But Mr. Gigga was silent. 8tranga Coincidence. "Waiter!" called Jones, in such tones of suppressed triumph that we all looked up as he majestically summoned Robert. Long had Jones entertained his own opinions as to the economical practices^ of our restaurant Were those skeptical opinions confirmed? "Walter," he said, with crushing impressiveness, "just look here, if you please. Do you see that button, waiter, in this cabinet pudding? That is mine. I hid it yesterday in the end of my roll—in the end of my roll, waiter." And Jones' slance proudly gathered In—so to speak—the admiration our looks expressed at such a successful exposure of mean conduct. But Robert was equal to the ocension. Perfectly unahashed, he replied: "Yesslr: very singular, indeed, sir. To think, now, you should just hnppon tn set that very button asain, after all sir!"—Tit-Bits. Does It Ever Happen?

The Uruish purl lament will probably not ptt»s Lurd Avebury'u bill tor the protection or wild birds, although the houue ef lords haa passed it to a «e» cud leading. There la general agreement UK to the ueed of action and an tu the purpose of the bill; but door a expressed whether ^he proposed mc<us ure IK wisely devlbed. The bill prohibits the importation iuto the United Kingdom, for 4he purpose of sale or fxchtijuKe, of the plumaKe, akin or body >f any wild bird except ostriches, eider ducka and wild fowl used for food. Specimens may be gathered for museums, but only^ under special license; and penalties of five pounds for a first offense and £25 for subsequent offenses ure provided. To American travelers In England the situation Is not so standing «A It upbears, says the Youths' Companion, for out of consideration for the tustes of foreigners it is provided in the bill that parts of birds not Included In the list of exemptions may be worn by those entering Great Britain, provided that a wrltien declaration that the plumage is not for sale shall be given upon request. An understanding of the causes which led to the introduction of this hill ought, however, to restrain every right-minded woman from availing herself of such a privilege. There were sold last year at the London plume tales the scapular feathers of 190,000 egrets, and the skins of more than 28,- 000 birds of paradise. The plum^B of the egrets are "nesting plumes;" that is, they appear only when the birds have young, and of course the young starve when the parents are killed. Another sad feature of the situation is the sale of the tail-feathers of hundreds of lyre-birds, and of quills of the albatross; the one a representative of a single genus of birds, the other a wanderer, which, as Mr. James Buckland puts it, "adds dignity even to the ocean." The woman who goes to church and bows in prayer a head "decorated" at such cos* Is a fit subject for investigation by the new psychology. Elevating the Filipinos. What American precept and example may do in the Philippines is Indicated anew by what is going on in Mindanao, regarding which the Army and Navy Journal says the quarters of the army officers there may result in the abandonment by the natives of the nipa huts and the sort of civilization that goes with such primitive structures. The Army and Navy Journal adds: "Gov. Johnson, In installing a stable and practical government over the non-Christian tribes, has arranged . for every family to have its hemp field, and is urging the natives to give up their huts for wood houses. He has used the dwellings of army officers as an illustration of the value of such habitations. The people, who have a high respect for the big American soldier, are abandoning their shacks and building real houses." This marks a long step forward, and assures most gratifying results. The native huts of the old order are not only objectionable as typifying a low order of life, but are too often the breeding-places of disease. The first. act when an epidemic breaks out is usually to burn the nipa huts as one of thft-beftt me»ns of destroying the deadly germs. The new and better way of living taught by the Americans is certain to add in raising the race to a higher level. Closer union, indeed the formation of a new dominion by the British South African colonies, has been regarded by far-se^inir men as certain to come In time. The time may be nearer than has been generally supposed. Last month delegates of the self-governing colonies met in Pretoria to discuss interstate customs and railway regulations. They took occasion iil:o to pans a resolution in favor of a eloHwr political union. The suggestion was that a convent inn be called comprising 12 delegates from Cape Colony, right irom Ihe Transvaal and five each from the Orange River colo ny and Natal, and that these delegates draft a provisional constitution. The members of ih^ customs convention agreed to lay the resolution before their respective governments, and the perioral belief is that the government? Will at least go so far as to approve, the convention and appoint delegates flthough final acceptance or rejection of whatever agreement might IK reached wj'l jest with each colonial Cover Hint r.t THE STATE IN A F O 0 L I 8 H OIRL'8 M I S T A K E T H E CAUSE OF A 8ER10U8 COMPLICATION. MARRIED, ELOPES, SORRY. Took an Expert Cracksman From the Marqu«tte Prison Just a Few Minutes to Open • Railway Safe. Eloping on the day following her marriage five weeks ago lo Thomas Trumbull with William Clique. Mrs Wealthy Trumbull, a girl or 16, h a i been brought back to Mancelona by a deputy sheriff. Clique was also arrested with her in a hut near Waters,, and is facing several serious charges.' Trumbull is an elderly man and the girl married him under the impression that he would give her many luxuries. Disappointed, she left t'> day after with Clique, who u not very much older than herself. They hid during the daytime and walked during the night until they had got considerable distance from Mancelona. Deputy Sheriff Jarvis, of Emmet county, was'recently put on their' trail and traced them to Waters. He found the couple in a shack in a secluded spot. The comely girl was grimy with dirt. The hut waB bare of furnishings and rushes on the floor formed the only bed. There was no utove and the couple contrived to cook their meals on a piece of sheet iron placed over a fire. The couple had been near Waters less than a week, according to the girl's tale. They would stop in a town for a while and then Clique would become apprehensive of capture by one of the sheriff's deputies and insist on moving on to another. "I know it was wrong," said the girl, "but I loved Will and didn't realize until after the wedding the mistake I had made." Convict Expert Does Good Job. That lack of practice has not caused Thomas Leslie, a convict in the Marquette prison, to lose his cunning in juggling with combinations and locks, was quickly demonst.ated by him. In response to an appeal to Warden Russell he was takeu to Negaunee for the purpose of open ing the safe in the Duluth. Sou*«i Shore ft Atlantic railroad company's depot. The station agent was unable to unlock it and local e x p r M were also baffled. Leslie, who is spending a considerable period at the Marquette penitentiary for work in the safe-opening line, was taken to the scene in custody of Deputy Warden Catlin, and within a few mfnutes he bad the steel iloor unlocked. The prisoner is one of the best-liked men at the, penitentiary, both among his fellow-convicts and with the officers He is employed as steward of the hospital department. Brought Back. Sheriff Davidson, of Port Huron, returned Sunday noon from Winnipeg with Frcil Parker, who was arrested by the Canadian authorities on a charge of assaulting Elizabeth Pilger, a cripple,, in her home on White street last April, since which time Parker has been a fugitive.

Hurled from his buggy by a collision with an automobile, Dr. J. Henry Riopelle, of Bay City, landed on hiB feet and dexterlously caught his wife in his arms as she came flying after him.

Secretary Loeb gives out this statement: The president has directed the attorney general to immediately take steps for the re-trial of the Standard Oil case. The reversal of the decision of the lower court does not In any shape or way touch the merits of tbe case, excepting so far as the size of the fine Is concerned. There Is absolutely no question of the guilt of the defendants or of the exceptionally grave character of the offense. The president would regard it as a gross miscarriage of Justice if through any technicalities of any kind the defendant escaped the punishment which would have unquestionably been meted out to any weaker defend' ant who had been guilty of such offense. The president wiil do everything in his power to avert or prevent such miscarriage of justice. With this purpose In view, the president has directed the attorney general to bring into consultation Frank B. Kellogg in the matter and to do everything possible to bring the offenders to Justice. Coming like a bolt out of the blue sky. the president's pronouncement caused a sensation when it was received. It showed clearly, it was declared, that the president is determined that the Republican nominee for tbe presidency shall not suffer because of the reversal of the big fine, and that he wants the country to know that the administration has not changed in its feeling toward the Standard Oil Co. His statement makes it doubly clear, it is pointed out, to those who had thought that, temporarily at least, the president had passed into a quiescent .state so far as the corporations are concerned, that President Roosevelt has experienced no change of heart. The pronouncement breathed the same spirit as that which emanated from the White House in the days when the executive chamber echoed with denunciations of Standard Oil and other corporations and "Malefactors of great wealth." The president. It is learned, is greatly wrought up over the decision of the federal judges. He was amazed at their finding and determined at once to take some decisive action. It was to discuss this situation that Secretary Root was summoned to Oyster Bay yesterday. The president, Secretary Root and Wm. H. Taft spent three hours together going over the matter.

BLINDFOLDED A Mastery Story of San Francisco BY jEAULU ASHLEY W4XCOTT (0i><»3rrt*fatim,tb»BoMM-M«M<t|l Co.) 8YNOP818. Giles Dudley arrived In Ban Francisco lo join hia friend and distant relative Henry Wilton, whom he was to aaalat in ai\ important and mysterious task, and who accompanied Dudley on the ferry boat <trtp ;fcuo the city. The remarkable resemblance of the two men la noted and commented on by passengers on the ferry. They see a man with snake eyes, which sends * thrill through Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation of the strange errand Dudley is to perform, but ipcyuxreaces ca-use. Wm to know It Is one of no ordinary meaning. Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there finds the dead body of his friend, Henry Wilton. And thus WHtoa fiiat without ever explaining to Dudley the pussUng work he was to perform in San Frauclsca, In order to discover the secret mission his friend had entrusted to him, Dudley continues his disguise and permits himself to be known as Henry Wilton. He learns that there Is a boy whom he is charged with secreting and protecting. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton, la employed by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerage deal. Giles Dudley finds himself closeted In a room with Mother Borton who makes a confidant of-him. He can learn nothing about the mysterious boy further than that it is Tim Terrill and Darby Meeker who are after him. Dudley visits the home of Knapp and is stricken by the beauty of Luella, his daughter. Slumming tour through Chinatown is planned. The trip to Chinatown. Giles Dudley learns* that the party is being shadowed by Terrill. LUflla and Dudlev are cut off from the rest of the party and Imprisoned in a hallway behind an Iron-bound door. Three Chinese ruffians approach the imprisoned cauple\ A battle ensues. One is knocked down. Giles begins firing. Tim TerriU is seen in the mob. A newly formed mob is checked by shots from Giles' revolver. Policeman Corson breaks down the door with an ax und the couple Is resvued. Luella thanks Giles Dudley for saving her life. Knapp appears at the office with no traces of the previous night's* debauch. Following his instrtictlons Dudley has a notable day in the Stork Exchange, selling Crown Diamond and buying Omega, the object being to crush Decker, Knapp's hated rival. Dudley discovers that he loves Luella Knapp. Mother Borton tells Giles Dudley that "they've discovered where 'the boy' is." The mysterious unknown woman employer of Dudley meets him by appointment with "the boy" who is turned over to Dudley with his guards and they drive with him to the ferry boat to take a train out of the city. CHAPTER XXII.—Continued. The train had not gathered headway before a mqn bent beside me, and Abrams' voice spoke softly in my ear. "There are two of 'em aboard," "Yes? Where did you find them?,I asked. "In the stoke hole. I hid behind a bench till every o.ne had gone and saw 'em crawl out They bribed a fireman or deckhand or some one to keep 'em under cover. They got off the boat at the last minute and I aneaked after "em." "And they're on the train?" "Yes, three cars back—next to the Bleepera. Shall we chuck 'em overboard as soon as we get out of Oakland?" "Not unless we are attacked," I returned. "Just sit down by the rear door and give the signal if they come this way. There'll be no trouble if they are only two." ' We reached Livermore at near 11 o'clock, without further incident than a report from Abrams that the spies of the enemy got off the train at every station an* watched for our landing. Yet when we stood on the platform of the bare little station at Livermore and saw the yellow oars crawling away on their eastward Journey, we looked in vain for the men who had tracked us. "Pooled, by thunder!" said Fltihugh with a laugh In which the others joined. "They're off for Sacramento." "They'll have to earn their money to find us there," said Abrams. : The gray day had become grayer, and the wind blew fresh in our faces with the smell of rain heavy upon it as we sought ^the hotel. It was a bare country place, yet the trees grew by the hotel and there were vines climbing about its side and it looked as though we. might be comfortable for a day, should-be have to stay there so long. "Plenty of room," said the landlord, rubbing n!sr hands. ' "We wish a large, rpora, you know, where we can* be together," I said, "and sleeping rooms adjoining." "Here's fust the place for you," said the landlord, taking the way to the end of the npper hall and throwing open a double door. "This It the upstairs parlor, but I can h*t you have it. There's this large bedroom opening off it—the oorner bedroom, sir—and this small one here at this side opens into the parlor and the hall Perhaps you would like this other, too." "This is enough for our comfort," I assured him. "There'll b e a fire here in a minute," said the landlord, regarding the miserable little stove wltfcaqjeye of satis* faction that 1 attrljhuep tu ; f a eeoj nomtcal proportipnaY '^hlft/iit s o * ) eijduglV' said Lockhart, looking about approvingly at the prim hoibehah fuiultuit* that gave an awesome dignity to the parjor. "Beats our quarters below hollow," said Fitzhugh. "And nu need to have your gun where you can grab it when the first man says boo!" "Don't get that idea into your head," said I. "Just be ready for anything that comes We're not out of the woods yet, by a lung way." "They've gone on to Sacramento," laughed Fitzhugh; and the others nodded in sympathy. "Indeed?" I said. "How many of you could have missed seeing a party of sine get off at a way station on this line?" There was silence. "If there's anyone here who thinks he would have missed us when he was set to look for us, just let him speak up," I continued with good-natured raillery, "I guess you're right," said Fitzhugb. "They couldn't have missed seeing us." "Exactly. And they're not off for Sacramento, and not far from Livermore." "Well, they're only two," said Lockhart. "How long will it take to get a dozen more up here?" I asked. "There's a train to Niles about noon," said one of the men. "They could get over from there In an hour or two more by hard riding." "The Los Angeles train comes through about dark," said another. "I think, gentlemen," said I politely, "that we'd best look out for our defenses. There's likely to be a stromy evening, I should judge." "Well," growled Wainwright, "we can look out for ourselves as well as the next fellow." "If there's bloody crowns going round, the other gang will get its share," said Fitzhugh. And the men about me nodded. I was cheered to see that they needed nobody to do their fighting, however advisable it might be to do their thinking by deputy. "Very good," I said. "Now I'll just look about the town a bit. You maycome with me, if you please, Fitzhugh." • "Yes, sir." "And Abrams and Lockhart may go scouting if they like." Abrams and Lockhart thought they would like. "Better keep together," I continued. "What's the earliest time any one could get here?" "Two o'clock—if they drove dver." "I'll be around here by that time. You, Abrams, can look out for the road and see who comes into town." "All right, sir," said Abrams. "There won't anybody get in here without I catch Bight of him." Lockhart nodded his assent to the boast, and after cautioning the men who we're left behind we sallied forth. The town was a straggling, not unpleasing country place. The business street was depressing with its stores closed and its saloons open. In the residence streets I was better pleased. Man had done little, but nature was prodigal to make up for his omissions. The buildings were poor and flimsy, but in the middle of December the flowers bloomed, vines were green, bushes sent forth their leaves and the beauty of the scene even under the leaden skies and rising gale made it a delight to the eye. "Not much of a place," said Fitzhugh, looking disdainfully at the buildings. "Hello! Here's Dick Thatcher. How are you, Dick? It's a year of Sundays that I haven't seen you. This is—er—a friend of mine, Thatcher— you needn't mention that you've seen us." "We needn't be strangers to Mr. Thatcher," I laughed. "My name is Wilton. Of course you won't mention our basines*" "Oh, no, Mr. Wilton," said Thatcher, impressed, and shifting the quid of tobacoo in his lantern jaws. "Of course not:" "And you needn't say anything of our fceinfc here at all," I continued. "It might spoils the trade." "Mum's the word," said Thatcher. "I'H not let a soul know till you say Let 'er go.' O Lord! I hope the trade goes through. We want a lot more capital here." Mr. Thatcher began to scratch his head and to expectorate tobacco juice copiously, and I suspected he was wondering what the secret might be> that he was not to betray. So I made haste to say: "Is this stable yours?" "Yes, sir," said Thatcher easerly. "I've been running it nigh on two years now." "Pretty good business, eh, Dick?" said Fit*hugh, looking critically about. "Nothin' to brag on." said Thatcher disparagingly. "You dea't make a fortune running a livery stable In these parts—times are too hard." And UI«Q Mr. Thatcher unbent, and between periods of vigorous mastication at his cud, introduced us to his borne* and eagerly explained the advantages that hia stable poaaeaaed ; over any other this side 'or Oakland. "Very good," I said. "We may want something in your line later. We can find you here at any time, I suppo**)." "O Lord, yes. 1 live here days and sleep here night*. Out if you want to take a look at the property before it gets a wetting you'll have to be pretty spry." My suggestion of a trade had misled the worthy stableman into the impression that i was considering the pur chase of real estate. "I'll see about it," I said. "There's a big rain coming on, sure," he said warnjngly, as we turned back to the hotel. It was a little after 1 o'clock, but as we approached our quarters Lockhart came running toward me. 'What i« it?" I asked, as he panted, out of breath. "There's a special train just come in," he said; "an engine and one car. It's at the station now." "So? Did any of our friends come on it?" "Abrams has gone down to find out." "Come along then," said L "We'll see what is to be seen." C H A P T E R X X I I I . A Piece of Strategy. A few idlers were on the platform of the station as we approached with much apparent unconcern, our hands in our overcoat pockets where the weapons lay. "Where's the train?" I asked, looking at the bare track. . "Yonder," grunted a native, pointing his thumb' lazily up the road where the engine lay by the watering tank, slaking its thirst. "Well, just let me and Lockhart walk ahead," said Fitzhugh gruffly,, as we started along the . track. "1 shouldn't have the first idea what we was here for if you was to be knocked over." Fitzhugh could not be much more in the dark on this point than I, but I let him have his way. If some one was to be shot, I was ready to resign my claim to the distinction in favor of the first comer. There were perhaps a score of people about the car. "There's Abrams," said Lockhart. "There's no danger, then," said Fitzhugh with a grin. "See, he's beckoning to us." We hastened forward eagerly. "What is it?" I asked. "There's no one here," said Abrams, with a puzzled look. I went forward to the engine. The engineer was as close-mouthed as though words were going at a dollar apiece and the market bounding upward. When I tried to question the fireman the engineer recovered his tongue and had so many orders to be attended to that my words were lost in a rattle of coal and clang of iron. And the engine, having drunk ks fill, changed its labored breathing to a hissing and swishing of steam that sent the hot vapor far on both sides, and then gathering speed, puffed its swift way back the road by which it had come, leaving the car deserted on a siding. "Here's a go!" cried Fitzhugh. "A regular puzxler!" "The first thing is to to visit the telegraph office at once." said I. The operator was just locking his little room in the station as we came up. "No, air, no telegrams," he said; "none for anybody." "That is a new way of running trains," I said with a show of indifference, nodding toward the empty car. "Oh, there was a party camp up," said the agent; "a dozen fellows or more. Bill said they took a fancy to get off a mile or more down here, anil as they were an ugly-looking crew he didn't say anything to stop them." "I don't see what they can be doing up in this part of the country." I returned Innocently. "I guess they know their business— anyway, it's none of mine," said the agent. "Do you go in here, sir? Well, It will save you from a watting." We had been walking toward the hotel, and the chatty agent left us under * f - v e r e a i a juat a* th* lightdrops began to natter djownM {he4u«t qf the road, andji) d i L j h e Outlines lOJT the distant hiiOj J "f H S J •• \ \ The home guard «df our party receive^ the p e w * calmly. Watawrl&'t had established a iiiudu* tfUeadl with tils young charge and 1 saw that he uauaged to get a word out of him now and then. I bad to abandon the theory that the boy was dumb, bujt 1 suspected that it was fear rather than discretion that birdled bis tongue, "Do you think the gang have got into town?" asked one. "They'll have wet jackets if they are on the road," I. returned, looking at the rain outside. "Hadn't we better find out?" inquired Wainwright. "Are you In a hurry?" I asked in turn. "The landlord has promised to send up a good dinner in a few minues." "But you see—" "Yes, I see," I interrupted. "I see this—that they are here, that there are a dozen or more of them, and that they are ready for any deviltry- What more can we find out by roaming over the country?" Wainwright nodded his agreement with me. "And then," I continued "they won't try to do anything until after dark— not before the middle of the night, I should say—or until the townspeople have gone to bed." "You're right, sir," said Abrams. "A dark night and a clear field suits that gang best." "Well, here's the dinner," said I; "so you can make yourselves easy. Porter, you may keep an eye an the stairway, and Brown may watch from the windows. The rest of us will fall to." In the midst of the meal Porter caine in. "Darby Meeker's in the office below," he announced. "Very good," I said. "JuBt take Fitzhugh and Wilson with you and ask Mr. Meeker to join us." The men looked blank. Porter was the first to speak. "You don't mean—" "1 mean to bring him up here," I said blandly, rising from the table. "I suppose, though, it's my place as host to do the honors." "No—no," came" in chorus from the men. "Come on, Porter—Fitzhugh—Wilson," I said; and then added sharply, "sit down, the rest of you! We don't need a regiment to ask a man to dinner." The others sank back into their seats and the three I had named followed me meekly down the hall and stairs. (TO BE CONTINUED.) GIRLS K E P T IN W O 0 D 8 BY BEAR. mm WRECKED BY A DOG Two Young Women Are Scared by Animal and Lose Their Way. Lock Haven, Pa.—Two young ladies, one, from this city and the other from Williamsport, spent a night of terror in the Clinton county mountains in the vicinity of Hyner. The iadies were in search of game, became frightened by an ugly bear, lost their bearings and were not found until Sunday morning by the searchers who scoured the mountains all night with flaming fagots of pitch pine. G. A. Simpson, of Williamsport, is the superintendent of the Hyner Railroad company, which is operating in thit vicinity. His daughter, Miss Murial, accompanied by Miss Levina Emerick, of this city, started on a hunting expedition, intending to return to camp before dark. In their explorations they encountered a fierce black bear who thoroughly frightened the girls, who made a hasty retreat and in doing so lost their way and were compelled to spend the night in the dreary mountains. They were afraid to lie down or even stop to rest and continued walking, and traveled across three mountains and were far from their starting point when found by a searching party. They were assisted to the railroad by their rescuers, placed on board the train and taken back to camp.

Longfellow's School Days. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the poet, received his early education n a school in Portland, Me. He wj * pronounced by the master to be "one of the best boys in school."

There's somethin' comin'. Might a* well tell it—it'll worry you If you don't." "We've busted up housekeeping—for the present," the junior clerk said. "An' right ^fter we'd started, too. You know Emaline an' I got one o' these foolish fiata— one of that kind that you gotta go into sideways an' then slide out again to turn around, one of that kind where you can sneeze in the kitchen an' ruffle th' curtains in the parlor at th' same time.

Sir Walter Parratt, the newly appointed professor of music In Oxford university, is an enthusiastic chess player. On one occasion he undertook to play two men at once, and at the same time play on the pianoforte frontmemory piece* selected by those present from any of the classical writers for that instrument. He not only played brilliantly during the games— never once looking at the chess board" —but conversed with several persons, who did their best t.o distract, him. The game lasted an hour, and Sir Walter was the victor. His pianoforte selections while the cam» was in progress came from such giants as Bach. Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelsshon and Chopin, and he afterward explained that, for the .greater part of the hour, hp had been intensely interested in the efforts f.f a fly to disentangle itself from a spider';: web!

Mundy has two wild animal shows on the road. Last year his small show was on the Midway. This year he has contracted with Manager Slocum for his big wild animal show, and he will be fust on the Midway. Mr. Mundy will be in charge. is, therefore, apparent that every person living in Michigan should take an interest in making a success of this great fair. Your officers are working hard to make it a credit to the state, and they need the assistance of all of you. Just think what a mighty influence the state fair would wield If every loyal citizen would do his share to make it a success.

CHURCHES. T H I S YEAR I T W I L L BE T H E M I D W A Y . ! The world's fair at Chicago in 1898 I named the amusement feature of the j big show the Midway. Since that! time new names have been coined. The Glade, the r i k e , the Wanderlust, etc. have gone their way. Each year j when the new name has been coined it has been necessary to educate the people as to its meaning. The word \ Midway is known to everyone as the ( amusement row—the place to go for a good time, where something is constantly doing—and that is the name which will be used this year at the : state fair. The location of the Midway thi<s year will be one Btreet south of that of a year ago, boing in direct line with the street railway depot, commencing juit east of the Administration building. This spaoe was origin* ally intended for the Midway, hut, not! being easy accessible to the center of j the electrical equipment, the shows j were located further north.

It should be of interest and satisfaction to the exhibitors of livestock, and to the public as well, to know that, during the state fair of 1908 most careful attention will be given to sanitary conditions. Every precaution will be used to see that the grounds are kept in the best of condition, and all places will be most thoroughly disinfected. It ha.-, been decided to use t h e celebrated disinfectant. "Kreso" for this purpose. In th livestock department till stables, pens, bains, ect,, for the exhibition of animals will be thoroughly disinfected before- they are occupied, and a constant supervision in this respect will be carefully given throughout, the entire meeting. This will prevent any contagious diseane among the stock. It. will also destroy all foul odors, making it. both healthful and pleasant for the visitors in every respect. Ttua forms a, safeguard to the visiting public and to the exhibitors of livestock as well. The C. T . A- a n d i i .

Begging was a capital offense in England in the days of Henry VIII., when tho laws were very severe against beggars, nnd under a statute passed In that reign any one caught begging for the first time, being neither aged nor Infirm, was whipped at the cart's tail. If caught a second time his ear was slit or Itored through with a hot iron. If caught n third time he suffered death as a felon unless some honest person having £10 in goods or 40 shillings in land or some householder approved by the justices would take the offender into his service for two years, entering into a bond of f 10. So the law of England remained for sixty years. First eriftcted by Henry VIII., It continued unrepealed through the reljrns of Edward and Mary. Reconsidered under Elizabeth, the same law was again formally passed, the two legislative houses thereby expressing their conviction that it was better for a man not to live nt all than to live the iife of a Ucccar.

FALLEN QNEV/L [DAYS* ' ^ ^ r If America can lay claim to any royalty it must go back to the original possessors and rulers of this country, and find In the descendants of the red man those who are entitled undteputably to the distinction and honor. Two prinWsses%>t reffaT^lood of *he American brand are to t)e found In Niw Engjantt, and only two, and the fact that these two are not living in regal'stare or are not accorded any of the honors and distinction consonant with their high birth, brings them into notice especially so as at the present time these prlhcessea"have fallen upon evil days and are likely to lose the little land they now possess out of all the vast country to which their regal ancestor, the great Indian king, Massasoit, laid claim. With all the glory of the past only, a disturbing memory and with'poverty pressing them upon every side, Teweeleema. and Wootonekanuskfc *r% living on} the. shores of Lake ^aiwamps.ett in Massachusetts where once their fctagly*forefathers ruled supreme*,, , , . ,„ ., \Vith only a few acres remaining of a heritage which in the time of the Pilgrim Fathers comprised Whole states the aged are facing possible dispossession. They are subjected to numberless persecutions of a petty sort; but then they have grown \rsed to that. For as their mother once eaid during a recital of the wrongs of her race: "There seems to be no law for the Indian." "They have left us little," says Princess Teweeleema. "They have made us fight steadily for what we have kept, and now they want the little that we have." An effort is being made to secure for these last of the royal blood of the Wampanoags a material recognition of their rights and of the services which their ancestor, the mighty sachem, Massasoit, performed for the pioneers of New England. For without Massasoit's friendship and protection the struggling colonists would have been swept from the land. , The royal Wampanoags lived continuously on the tract about Lake Assajwampsett from the time Tuspaquin, the Black Sachem, son in-law of Massasoit, set_ aside about 500 acres for .h'eira. until 40, years, ago, when r»r Mirvtih Gould Mitchell, the >ii>ef of the princesses, moved to fJfcbfng^Qty that her children plight be ^!ewucgt€<f in the whl£e nidaV w y .

She is prfectirtmy helpless, and upon Princess Wootone kanuske falls tha care of the household and of the Invalid. She accepts the hardships that have followed their later life as a matter of course; Bho regards them as part ufihe blight that has pursued her race ax ) haa doomed it aad fear3 them all as part of the great tragedy. Not so the eider sister. There is in her a flash of the old haughty spirit oX_ her ancestors, some of the unconquerable pride of race which made Maaaasoit the autocrat of warring tribes " a n d spurred King Philip to ,,» hopeless struggle that swept the. length and breadth of New England with death and flames. When Princess Teweeleema speaks of her wrongs and the Injustices of the white lntraders, her aged eyes regain their youthful Are, her gestures take on the simple grandeur of her illustrious forbears. The town of Warren, R. L, has done something toward the memory of the sisters' ancestor, Massasoit. On October 10, 1907, a tablet was unveiled over the spring which has always been known by the name of the mighty In dlan sachem. It bubbled near his forest home and the Massasoit Monument association walled it up and improved the surroundings that the spring might run for all time as a reminder of the white man's indebtedness. On a huge stone was placed the tablet and on the tablet is this inscription: "Tnie tablet placed beside the gushing wa ter known for many generations as Massasoit's spring commemorates the great Indian sachem Massasoit, 'friend of the white man,' ruler of this region when the Pilgrims of the Mayftowei landed at Plymouth in the year of our Lord. 1620." When the Pilgrim Fathers landed in America Massasoit's'empire extended frem Gape Cod to the Narragansett Thirty villages owed him allegiance; 30,000 Indians obeyed his word. But a furious plague broke out and when the white men met with the sachem his people had been almost exterminated; whole tribes had been decimated. The early historians say that the savages "died in heaps," and only a remnant of about 300 warriors was left to the ruler in his lodges about Massasoit spring. It was on Thursday, March 22, 1621 only 101 days after the Pilgrims had landed on fche new continent, that Mas sasoit mef them formally,»far the first time, >He, had. .previously ajflven an audience to two of their emissaries, one of whom was Edward Wiajslow. ajwi had expressed friendliness for the ,w^*te man. So to thia meeting, he jtame in all good faith, accompanied t his half-brother, Quadequlns^juid of his warriors, all armed with bflwfs and arrows; their faces painted, ^fitome had skins on them and some nsixed; all strong, tall men in awiear ajxee." •'-. --:> -.-1 'JEU,e Indian chief appeared $ramat icailjron what is now called (T8Vjajtson's hill/"and: lined up his men, miking an imposing array. T o J h s j j | came Ed ward Winsiow, oarrvtata; a pair oi knives, a chain "man* if'jewel for the chief sachem; also a pot of strong water, with some biscuit and butter for a treat. Winsiow stayed with the Indians as a hostage and Massasoit, followed by 20 of bis warriors, descended the hill toward the Pilgrims. Capt. Standish met him with a file oi six musketeers and gave him a salute, afterward escorting the chief to a hastily erected building, ' furnished with a Rreen rug and three or four cushions. Here a treaty was made and signed between Massasort and the Pilgrims. Winsiow offered himself as a hostage for the keeping of the agreement; Massasoit declined. A regulus as to honor himself, he scorned to accept a pledge. Hotmr was to him as the breath of life, and fnr 30 years he kept the treaty to the letter and the spirit; until his d<>a;h, in fact. It. was the Pilgrims themselves who violated it. The great Indian's fidelity to this agreement made the American colony possible. Several times during his rule, MaBsa soit prevented raids by warlike tribes upon the almost helpless colonists. For years he held the Narragansetts In check. He died in 1661; and his death spo'leJ disaster to the colonists W A I T I N G FOR A FORTUNE.

He's an Intelligent man aud he knows perfectly well that there isn't one chance tn aeven hundred and eighteen thousand billion that he'll ever get a dollar that he doesn't work for and earn; and still he's always hoping and thinking that something might happen. And so when he gets to the office in the morning he looks in the letter box there, not rosily with the expectation of finding a fortune, but nevertheless thinking that there might be something; not disappointed If there Isn't but wishing that he might find there a check for a million dollars, from somebody or somewhere, or notice of some fortune that had been left to him that he was now to come and claim.

Oxford university is not the only seat of learning that has conferred an honorary degree on Mark Twain. A similar tribute was paid to the famous humorist and philosopher not so many years ago by a humble institution at a sleepy Missouri village that had known him when he was playing Tom Sawyer there in real life. It happened that the degree-conferring ceremonies took place one lazy day in June when newspapers generally were suffering from a total collapse of everything in the way of news. One Park Row news editor raked the land with a figurative fine-tooth comb and got a dry haul for his pains. Then, recalling that Mark Twain was Retting his honorary degree that very day in his native hamlet it occurred to him thai a message direct from the famous author might relieve the situation in the news. After much scratching of the editorial idea factory he evolved this query, which was transmitted to Mark Twain by wire: "How does it feel to be a doctor of laws? Please wire answer at our expense." After a wait of several hours this characteristic response came hot over the wire from Missouri: "It feels like emancipation from ig norance and vice. MARK TWAIN." Parting of the Ways. A, few more ticks of the clock and they were due to part forever. "You have b-broken my h-heart," sobbed the summer girl. "And you," rejoined the young man who was scheduled to resume his position behind the ribbon counter on the morrow, "have broken my pocket book." And the clock ticked on. Fsw Are Buying Pearls. The pearl trade of Bombay haa depreciated, in value In the last season. It is there that the pearls are finally collected by the jewel merchants. Most of them are sent to Paris, and many are purchased there by wealthy Americans, most of whom, however, have bought sparingly this year. Pearls in Paris are now selling at a third of the usual price, and Jewelers have canceled their orders for further consignments from Bombay. MAKING PUR I. M I L K .

Plan of Model Milk House. ing arrangements, and a steam heating plant is also included to keep the temperature even in severe weather. This barn is far too expensive to be duplicated under average farm conditions, and Is designated to test the possibilities of high-grade milk production, and is not presented as a model for farm dairies. The milk house is separated from the stable by an ante-room thoroughly ventilated, through which the milkers pass in taking milk from the stable to the milk room. Through this ante-room they pass into a straining room, where the milk is poured into a tank and runs through a strainer and a small opening in the wall into the separator room adjoining. There is no direct connection between this receiving room and the separator, so that the latter is not exposed to the dirt of the stable. A' refrigerator is attached, into which bottled milk can be placed as soon as prepared and kept at a low* temperature until delivered. A butter-making room is also provided, equipped with all modern machinery, but {he principal object of the building is the preparation of pure, whole milk. There are three points about this dairy that are worthy of note by practical farmers: First, that the milk house be separate from the stable; second, that the milkers do not enter the separating'room, and, third, provision should he made for cooling the milk immediately after it is strained and bottled. POINTS TO REMEMBER. The Cans far the Creamery Miik Must Be Clean. Favors Woman Suffrage. In Holland where qualified women have long had municipal suffrage, the committee on revision of the constitu* tion has reported in favnr of giving women proportional representation and making them eligible to parliament. The Sympathy of Friendship. It is sublime to feel and say of an other, I need never meet, or speak, or write to him; we need not re enforce ourselves or send tokens of remombrahce; I rely on him as on myaelf; if ha did thus or this, I know it was right.—Ralph Waldo Emertosv The can must be sweet and clean in order to keep the milk sweet. That same milk can must, be emptied out as it comes from the factory at noon, so you can have it ready for the evening milk. Don't let it stand out by the road until you are ready to milkT I have seen a good many places where the patron will empty the can and clean same out with cold water if they have no warm water handy. It Is no wonder some patrons get the milk back the next day because the can had no chance to air out and was not fit to use for milk. Empty your cans out as soon as you get them back; rinse them with cold water, then boiling hot water. Use a brush to wash them; never take a rag and think that will do. the work. It will not; a brush will fljjd every hollow place In the cap and do the work better than anything; else you can, get. Then after the can is washed, lay it down in a place where the fresh air will blow and let it lie there for about three hours. Then you will have a can that is ready and fit to receive , the milk. That is the most trouble in the summer season. The cans are npt properly cared for. And that Is the reason the creamery man always gets more or less sour milk, so be sure and take care of your milk cans, After the milk is. placed in the can do not do like some farmers do—let it stay in the barn over night—for it will absorb all the stable air, and when the milk comes to the creamery and veil take the cover off the can the creamery man thinks he is close to a cow stable instead of running a creamer/— P.

Bailey, president of the phio state board of agriculture, says in speaking or Improving the dairy herd: "My experience teaches me there are two ways by which a bre^eder can improve his herd. First, he must b*ve in mind his individual ideal type, which he should always aim to attain; this can only be done by selection and proper mating of both sire and dato In selecting a sire for my herd. I insist on seeing personally the dam. She must be of dairy form, according to my own idea—teats above medium siie, udder running well forward and straight down behind, > extending out past the curve in ham or legs. The above conformation is of greater value to me than any great phenomenal milk ' test she may or may not have mader I also insist on seeing the ancestors as far back as possible and knowing to a certainty, as near as possible, that they are meritorious animals. I believe there is no rule in breeding better established than that 'like produces like/ yet we all know that even with the best of mating we sometimes get inferior animals. This is mostly caused by Bome inferior ancestor, perhaps several generations back. "Never allow the calf to get fat in the sense that the beef breeder would desire. Keep it in good thrifty, growing condition, teach it to eat a maximum amount of roughness, such as clover hay and stlage, and a minimum amount of grain. Continue this method until within three or four months of1 cowhood, then feed proper concentrates liberally so as to develop the mjlk secreting organs for service after the birth of the calf. I prefer the heifer being about 30 months old before coming into milk.

H i i i s y s ) >•!#., t •"IMI^Ijt p The time for open-air work has come, and every healthy Christian 1 should take part1 in it. It is the only way to reach With the gospel t u > unchurched masses of our cities, and may be useful even In smaller t o w n s . The Bible U an open-air b o o k . The great revival under Ezra began la the open air, RB from his pulpit of wood he read the Scriptures and expounded , their meaning. Christ preached his great sermon in the open; air and proclaimed th,e gospel to the woman by Jacob's*well in the open air. Most of his imlrfceles and teaching took place In the open air. His disciples were chosen in the open air. The Apostle " Paul was converted in the open air, and no wonder he became all through life an open-air preacher, proclaiming from Mars Hill Jesus and the resurrection, and pressing into the market places where the people thronged. Jesus was crucified In the open air, and from the top of Olivet he ascended In the open air. Its History. The first mention of church houses Is found in the writings of Tertulliau at the end of the second century. Justin Martyn was converted by the testimony of an old man preaching in the open air. Augustine preached to King Ethelbert of England in the open air. Wycliffe's poor priests carried on their ministry almost exclusively in the open air. Peter of Bruys would not preach iu»der a roof. Arnold of Brescia stood among the people In the open air and preached until he was thrown into a dungeon, from which he went to a martyr's glory. Peter Waldo and the "Poor Men of Lyons" were open-air preachers. The Franciscan, the Dominican and the Cistercian monks preached to the people constantly in the open air. In 1382 there was presented to the parliament of England by the clergy a complaint against street preaching. John Huss, driven from his pulpit, began the Bohemian reformation in the open air. The Methodist Revival. The preaching of Whitefleld at Kingswood colliery is familiar to every student of the great Methodist revival. Wesley believed that everything should be done decently and in order, and he first thought that preaching in the ope^ air might bring the movement Into disrepute; but when he saw the power of the gospel upon these colliery people he yielded and began himself to preach in the open air. When Whitefleld left Kingswood for London his brethren urged him not to carry this Innovation with him into the city. He knelt down and asked God to keep him from doing anything rash or unwise; hut when he reached London he could not restrain the fire that burned In his soul, and he was soon standing among the thousands at Moorsfield, preaching to them In a voice of thunder. Better Than Policemen. The burgomaster of The Hague is reported to have said: "One street preacher Is worth ten policemen." St. Mary's church. In Wbitechapel, London, has a pulpit built in the corner of the outside, from which the preacher reaches more people than he can induce to come within. The open-air mission, known as Carubber's Close, in Edinburgh, has resulted in the conversion of thousands. The pastor of the Somejrstown church, in London, declares that Iwb-thfrds of his 1,000 members were converted in ,the streets. One of the presbyteries of Great Britain requires that all its ministers shall preach several times during the year in the open air. Bishop Aldhelm, of the seventh century, finding that he could not draw the people to hts church, took his harp, and, standing on the corner, played sweetly enough to draw the crowd and then preached to them the sweeter message of grace. If his spirit should seize the pastors of our city churches and send them nut in pleasant weather to their front doorsteps or to an adjoining vacant lot they might increase their audiences ten-fold. It Is evident that the Holy Spirit who came at. Pentecost as a rushing, mighty wind would lead us into the open air with the message of salvation for lost ninnera. Yield to his drawing and let your voire he heard this sum mer In SOUK and teslimony in the open air. If our churches, Sunday schools and missions should organize for ac openair evangelistic campaign covering Chicago lhis summer, might we not preach the gospel to every person in this great cit> ?

AflttS time la tbe A Shadowy Lover. . > •<•— ••• - > - c > < " ; > - lOrijftnul.J tine was a girl of givut depth of feeltug. Her sense of duty was of the highest. So inteut within herself wan she that iter friends never got very near her. Among ineu the featherweights — 1 aieau mentally—let her alouu from choice, the heavyweights because a he was uot of easy approach. She waa twenty-five before she received a single offer of marriage; then tt came from a practical, common sense man of business. He waa temporarily thrown Into Intimate association with her and discerned a greet deal In her. When he propoeed she took time before giving him hia anawer, then gave it in this wise: 'Uocne years ago I received a letter from a man who waa dying. He told me that he had loved me without being known by me. Being afflicted by a lingering disease, he had never sought me with a view to declaring his love. Since it gave a dying man comfort to tell me of his devotion, he hoped I would not blame him for doing so. He carefully concealed his Identity, and I have never discovered It "I have since been unable to shake off a sense of being appropriated. I know this Is unwise, but I can't help It. I have analyzed my feelings for you and cannot tell whether or no 1 should marry you. I am. however. willing to throw the responsibility on you and become your wife if you say the word." He told her that he fancied marriage to be practical sentiment Her feeling for the dead was sentimental sentiment The tirst pertained to the highest of all human institutions, the family; the latter was slmpljf a cankerworm feeding on emotion. He would have her marry blm, trusting to the great unbreakable bond, family affection, to absorb all other sensations. They were married. The wife for a time appeared to be contented and happy, but after awhile showed that •he was brooding. Her husband noticed the change, but did not refer to tt He knew that her "sentiment" was with her and that It could not be driven away by open interference. He did not consider his wife responsible for tts presence. He knew that it on me from some mental condition the nature of which he could understand, though he had not experienced it. He concluded to wait for It to disappear. Doubtless the first child would drive It away. as the sun will dissipate a cloud. Bat children did not come. There was still this intangible, psychological freak between the two to keep them in a measure apart. It was never referred to by either, but both knew of Its existence. It was endured by both, for the wife felt that it was wronging her husband, and the husband felt that it was sapping the happiness of bis wife as well as his own. One day white searching in a desk of his wife for a paper be came upon the note that had been written her from her dying lover. Its finding brought about a singular act Taking note of the handwriting, he wrote a letter In the same chirography to his wife purporting to come from the man who had written the original. It stated that he had unexpectedly recovered and had since prospered; that he knew •he was married, but in spirit she belonged to him. Did Bhe reciprocate this feeling? If so, let her defy the world and he would come to her. When the wife opened this forged letter one morning at the breakfast table, the husband saw her turn pale. That evening when he came back from business his wife said to him that something had happened. She had debated with herself whether she should tell him or not and had decided that it was better that she should not He replied that he had full confidence In her judgment and this was all he said about the matter. After thia the wife showed plainly that she was under the- influence of some powerful emotion. Her husband meanwhile wrote her another forged letter from the same correspondent Bhe was informed that her lover could no longer endure the strain of separation. He must see her. He begged her to send her husband away for a certain evening, during which he would call and they would concoct a modus Vivendi. He asked for this one interview only, after which, if ehe so wished, he would never see her again. Simultaneously with his sending this letter the husband informed his wife that he must be away on business on the evening he had appointed. His wife clutched her fingers spasmodically, which he pretended not to see. and left her. At 5 o'clock on the evening he went home and was packing a valise preparatory to his departure when his wife came to him trembling and, throwing her arms about him, begged him to take h*r with him. He had accomplished an object, bat l e did not yet feel sure that It was accomplished for all time. He told ber that it woold be inconvenient for bin to take her, bat she begged so hard that be consented. They dined tsejettv er and after dinner took a train. The husband ktnt his own nonnesl The wife during the Journey one even lng announced that she desired hia assistance on a matter that was distressing her. Then she confessed to the letters she bad received from her •apfosed to be dead lover and asked him to devise some plan to get rid of, hint without hurting hit) feelings. The husband took ber in his arms and con> fessed that he had written the letters. Prom that time there was no shadowy lover between the two, and loon after children came on to jtreugtbcn the union between husband md wife. J ANTHONY TWINING. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. In the Jswa of a Lion.

Mr. George Weir, an English actor, In his early days appeared one night In the role of Hamlet In an Improvised theater at Stroud, in Gloucestershire, and suffered much embarrassment from the demonstrative attentions of an enthusiastic former schoolfellow, who sat in the front of the tent and kept up a running comment on the performance. "That be Gargy Weir," exclaimed the admirer. "I knows Gargy 1 I used to go to school along wl' he." After many expostulations tbe Interrupter was turned out and all went well until the audience was hushed to deadly silence while Hamlet was going through his soliloquy.

PINOSWEY, LIVINGSTON CO., MICH., THURSDAY, AUG. 13.1908. A SUCCESSFUL MEETING. NOT AS BIG k CROWD AS FORMERLY, BUT BIGGER IN SPIRIT. The third biennial meeting of the Pinckney Old Boys and Girls association is a thing of the past and while not as large in attendance as formerly the spirit was there in full size and everyone enjoyed every minute. The people from a distance and out of town began to arrive earlier in the week than ever before so there was not the usual train loads at the last days for they were here to welcome those who arrived later. The weather mau must have had the matter in mind for although the dry spell had become almost unbearable, Tuesday night we were visited with a bountiful rain that gave the parched earth a soaking, making the air fresh and clearing everything ot dust. Wednesday opened up fair and the old boys and girls who had gathered, enjoyed themselves as only old friends can—some visiting, playing ball and many were seen wending their way to the pond with fishing tackle to try to coax some of the finny tribe from the waters where in former years they had played 'truant1 to do the same thing. Their successes were varied but most of them reported plenty to eat—but did not state that it was FISH. We.had hoped to be able to tell some big fish stories but so far have failed to hear any. It was no strange sight to see some of the old boys with bathing suits wending their way to the "old swimming hole" tor a dip and we could hear them exclaim, "Come on in, the water is fine. The program for the evening had been arranged from among those who were present and proved to be a pleasant evening. For an hour or more after the opera house was filled there was a hum of voices among the old boys and girls as they found each other and went to visiting. They were having the time ot their lives and were loth to have the meeting called to order as they were having such a good time. In fact they said it was one of the most pleasant hours of the entire meeting. When Pres. Kearney finally called to order it was by music rendered by Mr, and Mrs. Melvin Burgess and son of Hartland. Mrs. Burgess was formerly Mias Ftta Placeway, daughter of of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Placeway. They certainly make fine music for an orchestra of three pieces. They are a part of a larger orchestra at Hartland and if with all together they make music aocordmg to what these renderit must be great. They played and had to respond to an encore. Reports were read from the treasurer and secretary and after the bills are all in the entire report will be printed.

Today is the big Gleaner picnic at Joslin Lake near Unadilla. One farmer of Shiawassee county reports a yield of wheat 364 bushels from 11 acres.

Labor conditions, farm product prices, and many other things all RO to make it a necessity for the farmer who would make money to day to fit himself out with the greatest labor t saving devices obtainable.

No longer culled by that alluring uame, the. smart man ventured an an attire that WBH litnp, airy,. $ui«i«led, uo belted, but lo! the directoire dress has overpowered hire. He must Jive up to his divinity's amazing toilette. No more "fyee and easy" babilimentts for the ircoud male creature of society. It is reported'by recently returned visitors in London and Paris that the young man about town nu lyugej neglects his figure, but keeps his waist within bounds. The lounge suit has ceased to lounge on tiie back of its wearer, and color r«igns in waistcoats, -ties, and even the nether garments. The next thing anyone knows, declares the R E A L I Z E S H I S DISGRACE AS HE L A N G U I S H E S IN J A I L . SHAMEFULLY DESERTED. Matters of Note and Comment Picked Up Here and There About the State Briefly Told. Robert Campbell, the defaulting attorney, who was arrested in the south and brought back to Jackson, wants to «ee all his friends. He sat in the jail office Saturday morning and after consultation with Attorney Barkworth received a number of friends. Campbell states that he expects to pay every cent due his clients, that he-Intended to beat no one and never did. He admits using money passing through his hands, but had expected to pay back every cent and simply got In too deep. Of Henrietta Brows, who eloped with him, Campbell speaks well. He claims she is a high-minded girl. Campbell has come to realise his situation and suffers deeply from the disgrace. A Deeerted Wife. Hoston-HeraJd, the men will also be | Mrs. John Haney, who left Cadillac parading in the male costume of the directoire. To do this with dignity the new "flesh sculpture" must be called in and the fatal fat carved away. Had Napoleon Bonaparte weighed 300 instead of being a slip of a fellow, *t is doubtful if the Venuses of the directoire would have worn fashions a la Grecque. But the Frenchmen of the* empire were not over and above well fed. To be fat and shapeless was the exception. Another Start for the Pole. For the ninth time Commodore Peary starts on a hunt for the north pole. There will be a universal admiration for his courage and perseverance, but there Js no longer any great degree of general interest manifested in polar expeditions. Even the purely scientific interest in these expeditions is not so lively as it was 25 or 30 years ago. The scientific inquiry of the day has more regard to usefulness of results than ever before in the general history and progress of scientific investigation. It is difficult .n conceive, says yards. This last stunt took the skin with her husband and her adopted daughter to go to Oklahoma, is reported to be stranded and deserted in Minneapolis. She told the police -hat they had to wait over for a train and that her husband said he would go out for a walk. A little later the adopted daughter, a girl of 17, said she would go for a walk, too. M.rs. Haney says that she sat in the "station all night and then came to the conclusion that they had deserted her. She had had a picture of her husband in a bundle, but when she was going to hand it over to the police to aid them in their search it was missing. Mrs. Haney is without money. An Unfortunate. Harry McFall, of Holland, is the child of ill fortune. About four weeks ago while working at the Holland shoe factory his thumb was crushed In the machine he was running, which necessitated an unwelcome layoff. Two weeks after that while sailing on Black lake with some companions a gucUZen storm upset the boat and they escaped drowning by a narrow margin. Friday while riding his bicycle down hill he was thrown off and shot along the gravel road for several the Baltimore A m e r i c a , that the actual reaching of the i i l a l point on the globe, termed "the north pole," if it is ever accomplished, will be of practical benefit to humankind. It is extremely doubtful whether the actual discovery of the pole will assist in the working out of any of the great physical problems of the earth that are yet unsolved. It. will doubtless be a source of national pride to reflect, in case Peary at last succeeds, that the American flag, and not some other flag, floats from a staff planted at one of the axial extremities of this whirling globe. Uniform Dishonored Again. Another manifestation of hostility to the national uniform is reported from New London, Conn., in consequence of which the commanding officer of t i e Naval Academy practice squadron ha* requested that the base of ipiyaUor.a be changed to Newport, to *vMd' the discourtesy with which hit a ibj nilnates are treated. There has been , similar experience on the part of sailors at Newport, but that place appe*>. s to have repented of misdeeds *»nd in the face of popular protest and official denunciation to have reversed former action. The bat tleshlp cruise and the example shown by the people of the Pacific coast have proved that our officers and sailors as a whole are a wel^Wbaved lot, says the Troy (N. Y.) Times, and that the courtesies extended are not ahused. Newport has taken the lesson to heart, and New London is likely to discover the error of a contrarv course. from McFall's hands and knees and injured his hip seriously. Victims of Dynamite. Daniel Detwllei, highway commissioner, ami Gene Badgley, of Chesanfng, were badly injured by the explosion of a two-pound charge of dynamite they were using to blow up a Hump. The charge failed to explode, and when they were investigating it went off in their faces. Hadtrley'a face was terribly lacerated nn<l the sight of both eyes were destroyed. He also sustained a severe scalp wound. Ho was taken to Ann Arbor en the first train In the hope of saving his life. Detwiler's face was filled with small gravel r.nd bits cf \v<;od, but he will probably recover. Hadglpy has been very unfortunate in the line cf accidents. A few years ago he was Injured on the head and has a silver plate, in his skull. He has suffered a broken limb three time*--, dislocated shoulder and had a pitchfork handle nearly run through his bodv. He has a wife and a little babe and his aged mother lives with him. Detwiler has a wife and thre? children. * Both men are popular and were opponents for highway commissioner in the recent election, Detwiler winning by two votes. Of course, all those who believe in the intellectual superiority of the Caucasian race are prepared to ex plain -how it happened that a 1.1-year old colored girl won the puhlic school championship in spelling at the national education convention at Cleveland. Their notion is that this little ne^ro girl has new about reached the ape before which Jfr&ck children are as mentally bright as white children, if not hrightor, while after it they arc apt to lapse into comparative dullness, their continued bvnln development bping prevented by the early closing of their skull sutures. It is an Ingenious If not an altogether convincing, theory, rerr.arks the Boston Herr.ld. And yet it may reasonably be do.ibted if tbl« little colored girl" e t e r forgets hdw tr> •pel:. STATE BRISKS. The Anti-Soloon Campaign. The Anti-Saloon league Is arranging for a bigger campaign even than the one announced a few weeks ago, with the intention of making prohibition state wide within a very few years. Tt is intended to carry on the fight In .".:» counties, mostly those contiguous to "dry" territory, and covering more than half the area of the lower peninsula.

Then there were five mentioned as doubtful: Benzie, Leelanau, Antrim, Mason and Newaygo. Tt is now announced that these are no longer doubtful. The league Intends to carry the fight into each of the five. In addition the following new counties are added to the list: Genesee, Shiawassee, Macomb, St. Clair, Crawford, R O T O mm on, OgK. .aw, Iosco and Arenac. And He Got Nothing, Michael Malley, the Muskegon township farmer who herded 17 cattle in his liarn and refused lo let the owners have them until they paid him for damages done to his corn field, capitulated when the sheriffs deputies arrived with replevins and took the cattle from him.

One of the largest bonds ever recorded in t h e federal court in Minneapolis was executed last week by t h e three receivers •, Jor Abe •-.Pillsbury. Washburn Flour MM* Co. When Federal Judge Milton D. Purdy appointed the receivers he gave them Ave days to file the bond of $500,000, but placed the property of t h e cdmpany in their hands at once for operation. The condition which made necessary the reorganization of the company, said to be the largest in the world, was not due to lack of Dualnews. The business of the company was t22.000.000 in the laBt fiscal year. Charles W. Ford, of Hathaway & Co., commercial paper brokers, of New York, who resides in Chicago, was in court when the petition was filed with Judge Purdy. He acquiesced In the arrangement and his action represented three-fifths of the paper Indebtedness, or $1,500,000. Of the general situation as to the company's affairs, Mr. Ford issued an optimistic statement declaring he believed there is no reason why the creditors shouldUnot be paid in full. Thaw's Money. Harry Kendall Thaw's voluntary petition in 4 bankruptcy marks the first move in his definite intention to divorce Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. Once he Is free, according to a close friend of the family, Harry Intends entering on a new era, which comprehends the renouncing of his former methods of life. With tears In her eyes and her voice trembling with emotion, Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw denied that she Is responsible for her husband's desperate financial condition. In sorrow rather than In anger she refuted the statement of ex-Gov. Stone, of Pittsburg, who filed the petition in bankruptcy in behalf of Thaw, that her extravagance resulted in Thaw's embarrassment. Attorney Daniel O'Reilly, who is credited with doing much of the work to keep Thaw from the chair, and who has been a close -friend of both Mr. and Mrs. Thaw throughout the long case, was asto«i*ned when he heard that Thaw had filed a petition in bankruptcy. He said: "I am going to take steps at once to protect my claim. He says he owes me $5,000. He owes me more than that and what is more, he will pay It."

Miss Lombard had no formal attendants and wore a simple but becoming traveling costume. Mr. Cobb was attended by Mr. Will Sheeron, a local friend. Both bride and groom sought to avoid publicity but the scores of admirers of the great ball player fairly forced themselves into the place where the marriage was performed. The couple left in the afternoon for Detroit, the honeymoon trip being postponed until the winter. THE MARKETS. Battleships in Auckland. The American battleship fleet splashed its anchors In the bay in front, of Auckland at 8::18 Sunday morning. Almost on the precise minute—8 >'clock—set by the commander-inchief Rear Admiral Sperry, the Connecticut poked her nose Into the glass- Ike waters of the harbor, and, fol- .owed by the others in single formation, swept up to anchorage. Long before daylight thousands of Aucklandrrs and visitors gathered along the water front to await the coming of the ships. Some brought blankets and •ood with them. The crowd cheered 'tself hoarse from the moment the ships appeared and fairly went mad -vith enthusiasm when the firing of salutes had been concluded.

Swm after the party is quartered In the hotel a special train arrives in Llvermore.. CHAPTER XIII.—Continued. I had never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Meeker face to face, but 1 doubted not that I should be able to pick him out. I was right. I knew him the moment I saw him. He was tall and broad of shoulder, long of arm, shifty of eye, and his square jaw was covered with a stubby red beard. His color heightened as we walked into the office and cut off the two doors of retreat. "An unexpected pleasure;" I said. giving him good day. His hand slipped to the side pocket of his sack coat, and then back again, and he made a remark in an undertone that I fear was not intended for a pleasant greeting. "There's a little dinner of a few friends going on upstairs," I said politery. "Won't you join us?" Meeker scowled a moment with evident surprise. *No, I won't," h e growled. *But it is a sad case for a man to dine alone," I said smoothly. "You will be very weteopw." sir," said he, looking furtively a t my men drawing near, between him and the doors. "But I Insist," I said politely. Then I added in a lower tone m e a n t for him alone: "Resist, you hound, and I'll h a v e you carried u p by your four legs." His face was working with fear and passion. He looked at t h e blocked way with the eye of a batted animal. "I'll be damned first!" he cried. And seizins a chair he whirled around, dashed it through a window and leaped through the Jagged panes before I Could spring forward to stop him. "Round in front, m e n ! " I cried, motioning my followers to sally through the door. "Bring him b a c k ! " And an instant later I leaped through the window after the flying enemy. There was a fall of six feet, and as I landed on a pile of broken glass, a hit shaken, with the rain beating on my head, it was a few seconds before I recovered my wits. When I looked no one was in sight. I heard the men running on the porch of the hotel, so the enemy was not to he sought that way.- I set oft full speed for the other corner, fifty yards away, halt" suspecting an arabti-Rh. But at the turn I stopped. The rain-soaked street was empty for Woek before me, . "WUere IB ne? cried Sorter, tue first of my men to reach my side. I sbrugg^J my shoulders. "I .haven't been him."f Ml I • f ** Ik j r ' "He didj't jpofcfe ouUwaylrtfaaUl'll aweayV WRtf d HH%hugh j"He w U out o f V g h t before I got my feet^T **id ** ; Tfcey umat have a hiding-place' close by." "He must have jumped the fence here," said Wilson, pointing to a cottage j u s t beyond the hotel's back yard. "I'll see about it." And he vaulted the pickets and looked about the place. H e was back In a minute with a shake of the head. "Well, It's no great matter," I said, "We can get along without another guest for the afternoon. Now get under cover, boys, or you'll be soaked through." "Well, I reckon he wouldn't have been very pleasant company If you'd got him," said one of the men consolingly, when we had told our tale of the search for a guest. "I suBpect he would be less disagreeable in here than out with his gang," I returned dryly, and turned the subject. I did not care to discuss my plan to get a hostage now that It had failed. The gray day plashed slowly toward nightfall. The rain fell by fits and starts. As the time wore on I suspected that my men grew uneasy, wondering what we were there for, and why I did not make some move. Then I reflected that this could not be. It was I who was wondering. Had the plans of the Unknown come to disaster through the difficulty of getting the telegraph on Sunday? The office here was close*. The Unknown, being a woman, I ungallantly reflected, would have neglected to take so small a circumstance into consideration, and she might even now be besieging the telegraph office in San Francisco in a vain effort to get word to Llvermore. On this thought I bestirred myself, and after much trouble and speech with the young man who combined in his person the offices of telegraph operator, station master, ticket seller, freight agent and baggage handler for the place. He objected to opening the office "out of office hours," "There might be inducements discovered that would make it worth your while, I suppose?" I said, jingling some loose silver carelessly in my pocket. He smiled. "Well, I don't care if I do," he repHed. "Whatever you think is fair, of course." It was more than I thought fair, but the agent thawed into friendship at once and expressed his readiness to "call San Francisco" till he got an answer if it took till dark. I might have saved my trouble and my coin. San Francisco replied with some emphasis that there was 'nothing for me, and never had beeri, and who was I, anyhow? There was nothing to be done. I must possess my soul in patience.in the belief that the Unknown knew what she was about and that I should get my orders in due time—probably after nightfall, when darkness, would cover any necessary movement. If the mission of today were prolonged into the morrow, what was to become of the Omega deal, and where would Doddridge Knapp's plans of fortune be found? I smiled to think that I should concern myself with this queatton when I knew that Doddridge Knapp's men were waiting and watching for my first movement with orders that probably did not stop at murder itself. Yet my trouble of mind increased with the passing time as I vainly endeavored to devise some plan to meet the difficulty that had been made for me. As darkness came on, the apprehensions of danger which had made no impression on me by daylight, began to settle strongly on my spirits. I concealed my fears and depressions from t h e men, and with the lighting of the lamps made my dispositions to meet any attack that might come. I had satisfied myself that the rear bedroom,' that faced the south, could not be entered from the outside without the aid of ladders. The parlor showed a sheer'drop to the street on the west and I felt assured we were safe on that aide. But t h e front windows of the parlor, and the front bedroom which joined it, opened on th« veranda roof in common with a dozen other rooms. Inside, the hallway, perhaps eight feet wide and 25 feet lonfc, offered the only approach to our rooms from the stairs. The situation was not good for defense, and at the thought I had a mind even then to seek other quarters. It was too late for such a move, however, and I decided to make the best of the position. I placed the boy in the south bedroom, whieh could he reached only through the parlor. With him I placed Walnwright and Fitzhugh, the two strongest men of the party. The north bedroom, opening on the hallway, the veranda roof and the parlor, looked to be the weakest part of my position, but I thought it might be used to advantage an a pest of observation. The windows were, ppiarded with shutters of no great strength. Wo closed and secured those of the parlor and the inner bedroom as J*ell as p o s s i b l e T.hos* of the qorth bedroom I left oner*, ttv k»**i lng the room dark it would be easy for a sentinel to get warning of an assault by way of the veranda roof. I stationed Porter ~m the hall and Abrams in the 'dark''bedroom; While Bbckhart.'IWilson, Brown and I held the parlor and made ourselves comfortable until the time should come to relieve the men on guard. I thrust open trie door to ttie bedroom to see that the boy and hi» guards were safe, and this done 1 turned down the light, threw myself on the floor before the door that protected my charge and mused over the strange events that had crowded so swiftly upon me. Subtle warnings of danger floated over my sense between sleeping and waking, and each time 1 dropped into a doze I awoke with a start to see only the dimly-lighted forms of my men before me, and to hear only the sweep and whistle of the wind outside and the dash of water against the shutters. Thrice I had been aroused thus, when, on the borderland between dreams and waking, a voice reached my ear. "S-a-t! What was t h a t ? " I sprang up, wide-awake, revplver in hand. It was Lockhart who spoke. We all strained our ears to listen. There was nothing to be heard but the moan of the wind and the dash of water. "What was it?" I whispered. "I don't know." "I heard nothing." "It was u coo-hoo—like the call of an owl, but:—" "But you thought it was a m a n ? " Lockhart nodded. Brown and Wilson had not heard it. "Was it Inside or outside?" "It was out here, I thought," said Lockhart doubtfully, pointing to t h e street that ran by the aide of the hotel. I opened the door to the dark bedroom in which Abrams kept watch. It swung noiselessly to my cautious touch. For a moment I could see nothing of my henchman, but the window was open. Then,.in the obscurity I thought I discovered his body lying "f&.'ST.r-x'fmakp. AW rfr. /car: ny;< •isxtrp LX?J— half-way across the window-sill. I waited for him to finish his observations on the weather, but as he made no move ! was struck with the fear that he had met foul play and touched him lightly. In a flash he had turned on me and 1 felt the muzzle of a revolver pressing against my side. "If you wouldn't mind turning that gun the other way, it would suit me just as well/' I said. "Oh, it's you, is it?" said Abrams with a gulp. "I thought Darby Meeker and his gang was at my back, sure." "Did you hear anything?" I asked. "Yes; there was a call out here a bit ago. And there's half a dozen men men or more out there now—right at the corner." "Are you sure?" "Yes; I was a-Ilstening to 'em when you give me such a start." "What were they saying?" "I couldn't hear a word." "Give warning at the first move to get into the house. Blaze away with your gun if anybody tries to climb on to the porch." Porter had heard nothing, but was wide awake, watching by the light of the lamp that hung at the head of the stairway. And after a caution to vigilance I returned to my chair. F o r half an hour I listened closely. The men were open-eyed but silent. The storm kept up its mournful murmur, but no sound that I could attribute to man came to my straining ears, , Suddenly there was a cry from the hall. "Who's there?" It was P o r t e r s voice. An instant later there was a crash of glass, an explosion seemed to shake the house, and there was a rush of many feet. I leaped to the door and flung it open. Lockhart, Wilson and Brown crowding close behind me. A body of men filled the hallway, and Porter was struggling in the hands of three ruffians. His revolver, whose shot we had heard, had b^en knocked from his hand and lay on the floor. The sudden appearance of four more weapons in the,'.^pen,doorway startled the, enemy: Into tiauaing for a moment. l sprang torward and gave tne nearest of Porter's assailants a blow that sent him staggerlAjL Into J£e midst] of Jala, band, and w C n t ^ | 1 l r n c h '.Forma torei himself looseviroik-lha other t i o awf wasf^fftk .uttfagaia •-• -t wfcfiatr a o e j a l i t t nwaij?" I cried an- Eftijl\o tbeHfcv*4ers. "What are you here for?" There were perhaps a dozau uf Hum, altogether and In the midst of the band I saw the evil face and snakeeyes of Tom Terrill. At the sight of his repulsive features I could scarce retrain from sending a bullet In hi* direction. Darby Meeker growled an answer. "You know what we're here for." "You have broken into a respectable house like a band of robbers," I cried. "What do you want?" "You know what we want, Mr. Wilton," was the surly answer. "Give UH the boy and we won't touch you." "And if not?" There was silence for a few moments. "What are you waiting for?" growle d a voice from beyond the turn of the hall. At the sound I thrilled to the inmost: fiber. Was it not the growl ot the Wolf? Could I be mistaken in those tones? I listened eagerly for another word that might put it beyond doubt. "Well, are you going to give him up?" asked the hoarse voice of Meeker. "There has got to be some better reason for it than your demand." "Well, we've got reasons enough here. Stand ready, boys." "Look out!" I said to my ine"n, with a glance behind. At I turned I saw without noting it that Wainwright and Fitzhugh had come out of the boy's room to take a hand in the impending trouble. Lockhart and Wilson slipped in front of me. "Get back and look after the boy," whispered the former. "We can hold 'em here." "Move ahead t h e r e ! " shouted a fierce voice that again thrilled the ear and heart with the growl of the Wolf. "What are you afraid of?" "Stand fast, boys," I said to my men. "Walnwright, keep close to the bedroom." Then I shouted defiance to the enemy. "The first man that moves forward gets killed! There are eight revolvers here." Then I saw that Walnwright had come forward, despite my bidding, eager to take his share of the onslaught. And by some freak of the spirit of the perverse the boy, who had shown himself so timid during the day, had now slipped out of his room and climbed upon a chair to see what the excitement was about, as though danger and death were the last things in the world with which he had to reckon. I caught a glimpse-of his form out of the tail of my. eye as he, mounted the chair in his night dress. I turned with an exclamation to Walnwright and was leaping to cover him from a possible bullet, when there was a roar of rage and the voice of Terrill rang through the hall: "Tricked again!" ho cried with a dreadful oath. "It's the wrong boy!" (TO HE CONTINUED.) HARD T l M E t , INDEED, "Poor m a n ! so you a t * a victim of the late financial p a n l c f "Yes, lady.

A certain young Unitarian minister is visiting a friend and classmate who lives in Roxbury, says the Boston Herald, and while the two were sitting around a*>flre and spinning yarns the minister who is visiting and who comes from the west told this: "When I went west first I was in a small town called L e, and In the choir of my church the village blacksmith did the noble work of barytone. He had a voice that could shake mountains, and whatever it lacked in any other feature It made up in volume. He couldn't read music any more than he could English, but he learned a tune very readily. One Sunday we were to be favored with a new anthem because it was a special ocasion, and the barytone had one portion all to himaelf. Unfortunately he had missed many of the practices. The anthem went along excellently until it came to a beautiful part which read: 'And, dying, bids us all aspire.' Here the rest of the singers stopped short, in that quick, sudden way that choirs have, and in the ensuing stillness sounded the ponderous tones of the blacksmith: 'And dying brides are filled with fire.'" Polite English Shop Girls. "I wish you would import more English shop girls," said the inveterate shopper, according to the New York Press. "I came across one yesterday. I was buying a little white evening dross. There were about a hundred styles to select from and 1 think I looked at fifty. I looked at so many that after an hour, when I had at last selected one, I said to her with an apologetic laugh: 'I've been an awful lot of trouble to you, haven't I? t think you'll wish I'll never come attain.' 'Indeed, I will not,' she answered in her pretty English way. 'It was no trouble. None at all. It v.aa .heen a p l « a s u r e to wait on y o u .

In the Bohemian set of New York tw*> of the popular members are a well known writer and his wife, who also has written several books. They have a daughter about four years old. Recently the little girl was vteiting at the home of a friend and her small playmate asked her: "Can your mamma sew?" The daughter of the literary pair evidently was a bit chagrined. She could not remember that she had ever seen her mamma sew. She is a truthful child and would not claim any advantages she was not sure of, yet she felt that mamma's honor was at stake. "I don't know if mamma can sew," she replied, dubiously, "but she can 8moke a cigarette." Strictly Fresh Eggs. There are summer resorts, remote' from any agricultural communities, where fresft farm products are even harder t o ' o b t a i n ' t h a n in the city. It waa at such a place that the new boarder, who had eaten-four or flv* breakfasts there, began to wonder why the eggs were invariably served fried. "See here?" he inquired one morning of rtie genial colored man who waited upon him, "why do you always f r y eggs here? Don't you ever boil them?" "Oh-oh, yes, sah!" responded the waiter, pleasantly, "Of co'se, yo' kin have 'em boiled, if yo' wants 'em. But you know, sab, yo' takes de risk!' ALMOST A SHADOW. Gained 20 lbs. on Grape-Nuts. There's a wonderful difference between a food which merely tastes good and one which builds up strength and good healthy flesh. It makes no difference how much woeat unless we can digest i t It is not really food to the system until it Is absorbed. A Yorkstate woman says: "I had been a sufferer for ten years with stomach and liver trouble, and had got so bad that the least bit of food such as I then knew, would give me untold misery for hours after eating. "I lost flesh until I was almost a shadow of my original self and my friends were quite alarmed about me. "First I dropped coffee and used Poatuml then began.to use Grape-Nuts although I nad little faith it would do me any good. "But I continued to use the food and have gained twenty pounds in weight and feel like another person in every way. I feel as if life had truly begun anew for me. "I can eat anything I like now in moderation, suffer no ill effects, be on my feet from morning until night. Whereas a year ago they had to send me away from home for rest, while others cleaned house for me, this spring I have been able to do it myself all alone. "My breakfast is simply Grape-Nuts with cream and a cup of Postum, with sometimes an egg and a piece of toast, but generally only Grape-Nuts and Postum. And I can work until noon and not feel as tired aa one hour's work would have made me a year ago." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Batilo Creek, Mich.

For the entertainment of the visitors in Pinckmy last week, the Manager of the Pinckney Base Ball team scheduled four ball games, one with Brighton Tuesday, one with Gregory Wednesday and two with Stoekbridge Thursday, and without exception these games as a series were probably the best ever played here. The Pinckney team held to the same line up throughout the series, and while they went up against im ported talent in every game bat one— the Brighton game—they were masters of their apponents at all stages. The good right arm of Liam Ledwidge, ably supported by the fine catching ot Leo Lavey and the fielding of the whole team in general, made defeat almost impossible. Florris Moran also pitched a good game against Gregory Wednesday, but after the second inning of that game when Pinckney got six runs, he was never forced to extend himself to the limit, although in that game Gregory bad 15 men left on bases. Take the entire series as a whole, the games were fully as good as can be seen in Detroit. Tuesday the specta" tors were treated to a lightning-fast triple play, engineered by Manager Read himself on third wbsre he crot two men on a line drive and a perfect throw to second got a third and killed Brightons chances ot winning the game. A fast double play was pulled off by Brighton also, making the game an extremely fast one all around. TUE8DAYS GAME Brighton evidently wanted to wipe out the defeat handed them the week before at Brighton, and came over here with their fall strength, but Ledwidge proved himself master of the situation and while oblidged to go eleven innings to win, be simply got better the further he went and Brighton was fore ed to bow once more to his masterly pitching, and but for two very excusable errors, he would have, had a shut-out to his credit. The game by innings was as follows:— 1 2 3 U H 8 9 10 II B H E Pipcknej O l O O l O O O O o 1 3 5 2 Brighton 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 5 1 Batteries: Ledwidge and Lavey; Austin and Crippen; two base hits, Swarthout; base on balls by Ledwidge 3, by Austin 7; hit by pitcher, by Ledwidge 2, by Austin 3; wild pitch 1 each; struck out, 11 each; triple play, ReedtoRcche; double play, Reiner; Left on bases, Pinckney 6, Brighton 6; time of game, 2:15; umpire, Will Roche. WEDNESDAYS GAME The game ot Wednesday while rather one-sided in many ways was always doubtful as Gregorj had no less than 15 men left on bases. But Moran at the right time would get stingy and Gregory got no hits, when a good one would mean anywhere from one to four runs, In this game as in all of them in fact, considerable good natur ed "joshing" between the teams and spectators was indulged in and when a man fell down on an easy chance or failed to hit the ball he was immediately made the butt of some good humored joke. The game by innings was as follows:— 1 2 3 4 o 6 7 8 9 R H E Pinckney 1 6 0 2 3 0 0 0 0 12 13 o Gregory 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 4 10 3 Batteries: Moran and Lavey, Collins and CollinR and Jackson and Farmer; struck out by Moran 13, by Collina 1, by Jackson 3 ; bases on balls, bp Nioran 2, by Collins 2, by Jaekson 1 ; H i t by pitcher, hy Moran 1, by Collins 3; wild pitch, Collins 2; two baae hits, Swarthout, Cadwell, Farmer.' Stolen hases, Pinckney <">, Gregory o ; Left on bases, Pinckney 7, Gregory l o ; time 2 hours; umpire, Will Roche. THURSDAYS GAMES Stoekbridge was on deck Thursday as victim of two fast and well played games, and even though they had the redoubtable Hines in the box for the morning game, young Ledwidge proved his master and that team went down to defeat in eight innings by a score ot two to one. It was a game to be proud of as the entire Pinckney team backed up their battery in splendid style and by their timely.bits and bold pilfering of base*, won the game on its merits. The sCoref**— '" 1 2 » 4 5 6 7 H 9 K H E Pincku*y 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 2 6 0 Htockbridge 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 4 3 Batter leu: Ledwidge and Lavey, Hines and Berry; struck out by Ledwidge 10, by Hiuee 9; hit by pitcher, by Ledwidge 1, by Uines 3; bases ou balls by Ledwidge 2 ; stolen banes, Pinokiiey 4, Left on bases, Piuckuey 8, Stoekbridge 5 ; time of game 1:30; umpire, Will Roche. The afternoon game wa^ also a remarkable contest in many ways tor although Pinckney got the lead and kept it, the borne team was olaying on its nerve during the game and this samo nerve practically won the game for them. In this game Moran, wbc was filled to pitch, threw his arm out in the third inning and retired in fayor of Ledwidge, whose gameness was clearly shown for although he allowed but two bits he had harder work in locating the plate. But all around it was a fiae garn«) to watch and, as in the others, it seemed that when absolutely necessary the whole team settled down and played like clockwork. The score:— 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R U E Piuckuey 1 ) 1 1 0 2 1 0 0 5 9 5 Stoekbridge 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 2 3 4 Batteries: Moran, Ledwidge aud Lavey; McCann aud Berry; struck out by Morau 2, by Ledwidge 6, by McCanu 7 ; Bases on balls by Morau 1, by Ledwidge 2, by Me Caun 2; Hit by pitcher, by Ledwidge 1, by McCanu 3; double play, B. Hollis to Farmer; time of game, 1:45; umpire Will Roche. In all these games the Pinckney team taok desperate chances on bases and stole almost at will. Outside of the battery work it would be hard to mention any particular star of the series. It seemed that two or three men would play the game ot their lives, and in each game it seemed to be a different set of men, who would come forward and star for the team, both in the field and at bat. All in all these ball games were by no means the least of th* attractions at Pinckney during the Home Coming week. De Witts Little Early Risers, sale, easy, pleasant, sure, little liver pills.

THE G1?EEN ^ A " i A W R By F. E. CHASE t m In bs years the establishment of J. Hlcka, licensed pawnbroker, bad Buffered many changes, generally for the worse. In 58 years many things had come Into the little shop and gone again. Love and joy and" death and bitterness, and pledges innumerable, waning with the years from the dignity of watchaa and wedding rings to the degradation of flat-irons and the bed blanket*. ,^ ..Cojamwcially regarded, pledge No, 831 way a green silk umbrella with a heavy metal handle xtl considerable intrinsic value; sentimentally, It atood for Hicks' oldest and dearest friend; psychologically, it supplied him, other motive* being lacking", with something to live for. Its history was a simple one, but of exceptional i n t e r e s t ; It had been pawned one morning In the early years of his business life by a respectable elderly gentleman, who, after some haggling, accepted for it the sum of four dollars. With this sum and the customary ticket, he went out of Hicks* establishment, and was never again seen there or elsewhere. Nearly a year from the date of this transaction, and just before the expiration of the term of the loan, a young man had turned up, and had inquired with evident anxiety regarding the pledged umbrella. • "It is most important," said the young man, "for—for family reasons, that this article be redeemed. There fa no objection, 1 presume, to my paying the loan and..interest, on behalf of my—my. rej£tj.ve^>ntt, taking the property out' of your •hatrfa."'- "Nqtrt Whatever," said .Hicks, .."provided you ftave the tic^et-V ;.,s,jp . "Sw^ly- tfcat*s untmp<*rtant,,,\n.fged the a|j:^pg.er, "so thjat jou, ^et^ygur mone^l. ^Sijppose. we'' say^otlftie the amoVrtrtf* by*' way 'ot* penalty *** » y "Thatr-won'tudov" ap»M the broker.

"N6, • no, my* friend, I must have my tidret." i'ttrft'ttie tMftg*;is^#r41ilea«r-* wlH Ii^fcyou t e n t ^ m e ^ thyerloan,..4.p safeguard you' ak*Unst* any c\aim—-2b' timee^ -Good God'.-"4 He « l e d . .oxcited- ]y. ' " I must have it)(>'m^n^ mppiLde; pends upon it than you know." ' When'he had gone, th^bf^kfer ioofc down the umbrella from it* sbejf ajfcd examined it with a new Inietest. It wa i an excellent umbrella, solMry respectable as to handle alt4-&to**Iy serviceable as to fabric, yet5 *e*!rery deserving the vnluatton the young man h*d put upon It. Doubtless its value w«e sentimental mevely-j and yet—the claimant had been strangely eager. There was some mystery about it. Well, in 30 days it might be solved, for, if, as the young rna.n.. had said, its owner nnd the ticket were both at the bottom of the bea, the 'umbrella- wovld become his when the loan matured. Hut the matter turned ouj by ^o means so simpjy. Two days betpre the loan matured"; the young^mah. retur^ i«^,'t;learly',fortrfled w{th a better krifcwHafl \fc tfie tttialn&gk lino1 of hh» powers an* prl^teg^es,^ paioV thewU$tere s t ^ ffie Ioatf for another! year, and thus renewed the matter for that period. - In 12 months more, Juat aa Hicks' imagination war* beginning to hover in close circlet about his mysterious pledge, the young man again returned and renewed the loan as before, after agaln^ trying vainly to negotiate its sui4*n4e>?! tlif'JahWher 12-month the same performance took place, and ag«th ^fc the fourth and fifth anniversaries Of the transaction. Each year rifcks' visirot leaked thinner and more careworn, and his argument grew nvpre,languld and perfunctory; but if his pursuit was teas eager it was not less persistent, and each annual recurrence of th« date found him promptly on hand to protect his mysterious interests. Betweeri whilee the pawnbroker never saw .hirru.Q^ £e#*4 fxem feimubut there was scarcely a day that he did not think of him.jujdiof vbis pursuit!, and scarcely a ^ e e i ^ that,, ,i» $ a .&cataay of baffled curiosity and ^ r e e d - r , for to his inftafee* ImagfbfettbW t h i ' .simple samp had* bffconie the key to' treasures untold-—he did not take down the article and re-examine it, rap it, sound it, rattle it, feel it* fabricinr. h by inch, and, upon ocoasion, curse itH silent ^ocretivonens in good set terms. 1U metal head was larpo and heavy, solid, apparently, to all tests that he dared make. Thus time wont on, tho young man still cow «very (Copyright, by Shoriatory Fub. Co.) a middle aged man, by and by an Old man, older than bis jqeara, fhab>ler than once and feebler, but still unfjtillug in patience. Thus more than half a century went by, and as the fifty-eighth anniversary of what had now come to be the chief event of hit, lite approached, Hicjff felt a livelier hop* than usual stir within him. Hut annual visitor had seemed unusually feeble at the time of his last visit, and the chance that hv could have survived appeared comfortingly remote. A.* conviction that at length the inystwy of so many years would be somehow revealed to him penetrated the old pawnbroker's mind, and aa the critical date', approached, he felt an almost youthful eagerness of anticipation. As a rule his visitor had turned up a day or two earlier than was necetrfcry, hnt this year he had not appeared on the morning of the final day. By the terms of the loan the owner's rights expired a t noon, and as t h a t hour approached, Hicks took down the umbrella with an unsteady hand and deliberated upon a plan, of investigation. He had amply provided himself with tools, and only awaited liberty to use them. One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten! Eleven! Twelve! Hicks had selected a cold chisel from his lay-out, and was posing a hammer to strike, when a shadow fell upon his desk, and a familiar voice said: "Yes, you've beaten. I haven't the price. I've fried hard, but when one hasn't money to pay for food, even bigger things must go." Hicks paused in his work and looked at his visitor. "Let me show yon," he said. "There is an easier way." He took the umbrella from Hicks' and, inserting an awl in one eye of the1 carved face on the umbrella head, with this leverage easily unscrewed the top, to the pawnbroker's amazement and disgust. The cavity thus discovered contained only a piece of folded paper, yellow with age. Upon this Hicks pounced with a kind of whine of animal greed and satisfaction. But the stranger's hand fell upon his with an energy of which hia feeble body scarcely seemed capable. "Don't touch it!" he cried. "For God's sake don't. It is nothing—nothing to you; to me it is so much. No," he urged, as Hicks strove to withdraw his prize. "Not yet, at any rate. Not until you have heard my story." He sank into a chair, his hand still grasping Hicks' wrist, and went on passionately: "It belonged to her father—this umbrella. He was my employer, and a rich man; and I loved his daughter, and she loved mo. Rut he found it out, and forbade me his house—forbade me to think of her. Hut I wouldn't give her up and, she wouldn't, give me up, and so we used to write one another every day, and send the letters back and forth In this umbrella handle. The old man always carried it, wet or dry, and I used to watch my chance during the day and unscrew the top while he was out of the office, and put in my letter, and she did the same at home. It seemed a great joke then to make him our postman." Hicks slowly withdrew his hand, leaving the yellow paper between them on the desk. "Business -went wrong," continued the stranger after a pause. "The old man got involved worse and worse, tried the wrong way out of it, and had to skip. He realized on everything he had—even this, as it turned out—and left between two days, taking her with him. They sailed for South Atrrertaa on the Ginevra—you remember— she was never heard from— never even spoken. And never a word from her—it was all so sudden—I knew that—but something might have been done—I couldn't understand. I guess I went pretty near out of my mind. My body juat Went round without me, somehow, for months, doing the old things without my knowing anything about it, when all at once I thought of the old 'umbrella route,' as we lined to call it. It was a chance. Perhaps she didn't, have any other. All their things had been scattered by sale, but I hunted and hunted. There were.% hundred chances that, he had taken It. with him, but I took the one that he hadn't. By and by I thought of the pawn shops, and went, the rounds. I guess yours was about the last, and when I got my eyes on the old thing, it was like coming home. Rut Ihe ticket stuck me, and I couldn't toll my story to surh a man as you were then.

Life Rev. Dr. Frederick Gaat, professor •merltus of Hebrew In the Reformed Theological seminary at Lancaster, Pa., is one of the very few persona living who were intimately acquainted with President Buchanan, and he has a large stock of stories about the Pennsylvanian that have, never appeared lu print. Buchanan was born In a sparsely settled part of Bedford county, and in hiB youth his mother was accustomed to place around his neck a cow bell so that its tinkling announced his whereabouts whenever he wandered into the woods surrounding the family cabin.. Neighbors' children, nearly all of whom were of German parentage, invariably thereafter called him "Chimmy mlt de bells on," a nickname which later in life led him into one of the fiercest political feuds that ever existed in the Keystone state. Thaddeus Stevens and Buchanan were practicing lawyers in Lancaster, and were intimate friends until one day, opposed to each other in the trial of a suit, Stevens banteringly referred to his friend as "Chimmy mit de bells on." Buchanan made no reply in court, but as soon as the trial was ended lie. lured his insulter into an alleyway and,gave him a drubbing which Stevens had reason to never forget. Thereafter the two were implacable enemies. Welsh Clergy. It ts a disgraceful scandal that so many of the Welsh clergy should live in a state of acute poverty and literal beggary, and that no practical effort should ever be made to improve their condiilon by bishops and wealthy churchmen. The wonder is ihat in the face of this state of things anyone should consider the church establishment in Wales worth fighting for.— London Truth. A Prayer for the Day.

One morning in January, when the fee in the Hudson river ran unusually heavy, a Hohoken ferry boat slowly crunched her way through the floating floes, until the thickness of the pack choked her paddles in mldrlver. It waa an early morning trip and the decks were crowded with laboring men and the driveways choked with teams; the women and children standing inside the cabins were a solid mass up to the awlnging doors. Whild she waa gathering strength for a further effort, an ocean tug aheered to avoid her, veered a point, and crashed into har aide, cutting her below the water line In a groat Vwhated. gasji.

With a threat to throw overboard any man who stirred, he dropped into the engine room, met the engineer half way up the ladder, compelled him to return, dragged the mattresses from the crews' bunks, stripped off blankets, snatched up clothes, overalls, cotton waste and rags of carpet, cramming them into the great rent left by the tug's cutwater. It was useless. Little by little the water gained, bursting out first below, then on one side, only to be calked out again, and only to rush in. once more. Capt. Scott stood a moment as if undecided, ran hiB eye searchingly over the engine room, saw that for his needs it was empty, then deliberately tore down the top wall of calking he had so carefully built up, and before the engineer could protest, forced his own body into the gap, with his arm outside, level with the drifting ice. An hour later, the disabled ferry boat, with ,every squl on board, was towed into the IlQbokcn slip. When they lifted the captain from the wreck, he. ,waa unconscious and barely alive. The water had frozen his blood, and the floating ice had torn the flesh from his protruding arm from shoulder to wrist. When the color began to creep back to his cheeks, he opened his eyes and said to the doctor who was winding the bandages: "Wuz any of them babies, h u r t ? " A month passed before he regained his strength, and another week before the arm had healed so that he could get his coat on. Then he went back to the Reliance.—F. Hopkinson Smith, in Everybody's.

"Oh, I have been far away," she sighed, when speech was restored to her. "Do not be afraid to die; 1 have never experienced such a blessed Bensatipn." Psychologists, spiritualists, those who seek to raise the veil from what has been the unknowable, can study these facts: Mrs. McNulty, about 60 years old, Is as estimable as unimaginative; she loves her family and her home, her friends and neighbors esteem her highly. She has been ill. While seated In a chair recently she became unconscious; her family, intensely alarmed, hurried a messenger for Dr. Mulligan, who has been treating her. On closest examination the physician found that she had ceased to breathe. He detected a faint pulse at her wrist, but quickly that disappeared; her heart had Btopped beating; seemingly she was dead. Her mourning family began to arrange for the funeral. But Dr. Mulligan was not perfectly convinced that he had lost his patient. She Had Seen Many People.

OPE**" PAOOINQ SLIPS FROM MAN PER FORMER AND A U D I E N C E CHARGES ON STAGE, Nantucket, Pa.—The symmetry of one of the limbs of a "lady dancer" having become loosed from its moorings, a tent show here broke up in a riot and it is likely that future female Impersooatwrs hereabouts will take more care to retain their curves. A big crowd of men and boys attended the performance, which had been liberally advertised by posters ahowipg the "lady dancer" as she would positively appear, or money back. When the dancer came on there was a great burst of applause because the performer looked the part. She, or rather he, was encased In pink flesh- EFFECTIVE "It's a M a n ! " ings, there being a symmetrical degree of plumpness. All went gayly until the audience noticed that the rear elevation of the dancer'B right leg was bagging at the knee. This aroused latent suspicions and when a boy jumped on the stage crying: "It's a man," the rest who had paid to get In joined in the attack. The audience stripped the man to the skin without ceremony. They found he was stuffed with straw and this so enraged the miners and the pit boys that they gave the performer a severe drubbing, turning him naked from a door of the tent. Meanwhile, the old circus cry of "hey, Rube," was taken up and the show's employes gave an excellent demonstration of how to quell a riot With the least effort. They cut the guy ropes and the tent fell on the audience. The showmen ranged themselves along the edge of the canvas and cracked the heads of those who appeared. The dancer by this time proved that he was no lady by vigorously beating his former assailants, he having by this time obtained a suit of men's apparel.

It Is Worn with Fancy Jackets and Becomes Woman of Slim Figure. Feline Attacks Farmer When Caught Stealing Chickens. Greenwich, Conn.—Frank Sands, an aged farmer of Mount Kisco, N. Y., is in a serious condition, the flesh torn from his left hand and arm in several places as a result of a fight with a monster torn cat that has been roaming the woods in the vicinity of his house for the last few weeks. For some time Mr. Sands has been losing chickens at the rate of one every night, and about a week ago he laid in wait for the marauder. In the moonlight he saw a large cat steal out of the woods and into one of the coops in his hen yard. He made an attempt to get the animal, but it escaped him. The other morning Mr. Sands got. up shortly after dawn, roused by a commotion in his hen yard. Arriving there he saw the cat , in the act of killing a valuable prize hen. He rushed at the cat to drive it away and the creature turned on him. Springing a distance of eight feet, or more, the animal set its teeth into his arm. He shook the animal off, hut it took the flesh with it. It had no sooner reached the ground than it sprang at him and hit him again, all the time tearing his arm with its claws. He finally succeeded in stunning the brute, and a farm hand killed it with an ax. Mr. Sands fainted and had to be carried to the house. It was thought at first that he would die from shock and loss of blood. The cnt was weighed, and just tipped the scales at. 22 pounds. Other farmers in the vicinity say that the creature had been living in the woods 'n the vicinity for months, having reverted to the wild state, and had been robbing poultry yards The only people who. really enjoy lifting early are those who don't have to—The Corn-Fed Philosopher. The draped waistcoat has come in again. It is to be worn with fancy jackets, and will prove especially becoming to thin figures. Being made to wear with a princess skirt, or a skirt having a princess belt, it is very short, coming just to the top of the princess belt. It is much shorter at the sides than the front and very much shorter in the back than anywhere else. The back is absolutely plain and tight-fitting, and it is most important that it should fit well, otherwise the effect of the outer jacket cannot be successful. The drapery begins at the shoulder seams, where the material is laid In folds. There are more folds which come from the under arm seam, so that the front of the waistcoat is entirely draped, the folds being arranged to give an equal fulness across the bust. The waistcoat is double-breasted and has four buttons, covered with the material. Such a waistcoat is usually worn over a thin shirtwaist that is not particularly elaborate because it will hardly be seen, although it should be very well fitting and of sheer material, otherwise the costume will be too warm and one may not remove a coat worn over a waistcoat. There is almost always a high collar and a fancy jabot worn with such waistcoats, and either a jabot or a lace bow of some dimensions is necessary to make the proper effect. FOR SUMMER WEAR. HARD TO IMPRESS MODERATION. Women Prone to Overdo Things When Exercise Is Ordered. It is quite difficult to impress upon women the good of exercise; but it is equally difficult to compel them not to overdo it. Give a woman a pair of dumbbells and tell her to take a gentle exercise for five minutes every morning, and she will swing them with violence several times a day until her arms ache from exhaustion. Tell her to play tennis during pleasant days, and she will play it for hours, at all hours, without moderation or judgment. It is the same with every form of exercise suggested. It seems the nature of woman to overdo it through ignorance. They do not know its value enough to comprehend its danger. Thefcthink if a little is good more is better. They weary themselves out, deplete their heart action, give themselves acute indigestion, all because they will not do in moderation the thing that would make them well and strong. Doctors and physical culturists say they have to fight this tendency in women more than any other one thing when they are upbuilding their blood and tissues. Ribbons for Fall. Many of the new fall and winter costumes will be finished off with a sash, due largely to the directoire style now in vogue. These wil be made of broad satin of soft pliable quality, and will swathe the waist in soft folds, the ends falling gracefully down the side or front of the costume. Already this fashion is beginning to show in the latest summer styles, as many of the lingerie princess frocks are now completed with a ribbon sash fastened to the back only. In some fall gowns the sash is on the Turkish idea, being wound tightly around the waist and hips, and then falling in soft folds almost to the hottom of the costume. The up-to-date sash must be of a shade to harmonize with the costume, rather than to contrast- One of the prettiest summer hats seen this season was worn at a recent out-door wedding. It was white, soft, lacey straw, the wide brim turned up in a most fascinating manner at left side and edged with a narrow hand of hydrangea blue velvet ribbon. The top was n mass of hydrar^eas in delicate shades and a large hunrh of satin ribbon loops matching the velvet band was artistically fastened at back. For a Ccld Sere.

A summer gown keeps its freshness much longer when made without a lining, and worn instead over a princess underslip that can he laundered whenever necessary. These underslips may be of wash silk or of lawn or batiste— the latter is much cooler—and are boned and fitted quite as carefully as the lining of a gown would he. Whether the skirt he long or short, it is well to have it finished on the underside with a dainty lace trimmed ruffle corresponding to that on the upper side of the skirt-—for then there is no possibility, when seated, of showing the unfinished side of the petticoat. Of course, too, for the decollete gown, the underslip is cut low and sleeveless.—Vogue. The Lace Overskirt. A designer has brought out a new thing in the way of tunics. It is cut circular, is a trifle high-waisted and instead of having a box plait down the side it is slashed open, finished with a two-inch hem at the edge, and is then laced from side to side through silkcovered eyelets.

Thus a head 8% Inches long and 6¾ inches broad would require a hat size of 14½ divided by 2, which is 7¼ —Gladstone's size. Xour correspondent C. is perfectly right in his description of the curious way in which the size of a hat is obtained, writes (J., bnt bis sample dimensions are slightly misleading. Such an "oval" as 8¾ inches by 5¾ inches would scarcely be met with twice in a lifetime. Tbo normal difference between the length and width (technical-) ly called the "oval") is invariably | through the gamut of sizes 1½ inches.' Thus an ordinary G-"i hat would meas-1 ure 7½ inches long and G inches -wide and a 7¼ (four sizes bigger) 8 inches j long and G\2 inches wide. The longest head I have measured In many thousands was 8% by 7%, which is the equivalent of a 2¾ Inch oval. Needless to say, the inside of the hat was the shape of a rnnalboat. — Manchester Guardian. ^ • Business Pointteerrss.. k LOST. A pair of eye glasses in eate. Leave at this office.

THB USSTIMQ THURSDAY Thursday morning started out tine but the weatherman must have forgotten bis dates as about ten o'clock it began to rain a little and while it did not rain hard at any time it kept it up long enough to keep the crowd away aud to spoil the picnic at the grove. Most of the citizens of course ate their dinner at borne and entertained their friends. The opera house was opened and those from out of town were invited there and they had a merry time even though the weather was against them. Immediately after dinner the committee got busy and kept the phones busy in calling up all and notifying them that there would be a meeting at the opera house in the afternoon. The house was socn filled and after he band had played several selections. Pres. Kearney called to order and the afternoon was pleasantly spent in listening; to short speeches from old boys and girls. It passed altogether too soon and there was not time enough to hear from as many as we would have liked to hear from. W. P. Van Winkle of Howell pave a very interesting talk on the old times in and about the the village where he spent his boyhood days and where he got his Btart in life. Wbile his home had been in another village for many years his love for bis former home had always remained the same These "old home days'1 were among the most pleasant in life and he hoped they might be kept up. Vice Pres, E. L. Markey of Battle Creek made a very pleasing address. Being able to get hold of some of the notes that were used to collect his thoughts before he came, we are able to giva his remarks at greater length. We are yery sorry that we were not able to do this in all cases as so much was said that would make good reading, especially to those who were unable to be present. Revs. Fr. Comer ford, Littlejohn and Gates, pastors of the churches here while not as yet "old boys" were call ed upon and made a few appropriate' remarks. Rev. Hicks of Carleton was* also present and offered the invocation. L. E. Wilson of Des Moines, Iowa, secretary of the Greater Des Moines Committee, spoke for several moments on the improvement and building up, not only of cities, but smaller towns as well. Said these gatherings were a good thing for a town, as it not only served as a home coming and visiting time tor all the old boys and girls, but inspired the citizens to keep up the village and improve the town. Mr. Wilson has been engaged in this work for several years and has spoken in the west. D. P. Markey of Port Huron in his easy manner spoke a short time on the good old days of yore. His memories of the old town were of the most pleasant and should never forget the old town. His early training her**, he said, had much to do with whatever success he may have achieved in life. The committed on resolutions rereported and tendered the following resolutions which were adopted: Whereas: The executive committee, consisting of E, W. Kennedy, J, C. Dunn, C. V. VanWinkle, Mrs. J.

T h e webt tib a whole la far beyond the tsuat iu ltb abatement of the aiuoke nulraance. In St. Paul nutne four years ago, the work was given orer to the department of health, whose first act was to lay the following question before the local and national unions of uteatn engineers and firemen: "Can t h e smoke nuisance as It exists to-day be reasonably prevented without injury to trade and manufacturing interests?" This question was unanimously answered in the affirmative by the members of both unions. Notices were taken in all dubious cases and fines were Imposed when necessary, a minimum flue of $25 for the first offense, doubled for each succeeding one. The work has been most successful, and besides an abatemement of smoke, a saving of fuel is reported. In Milwaukee an ordinance Which has gone through periods of relaxation and others'of strict enforcement, has been successful when properly managed, continues Hollis Godfrey in the Atlantic. About half the city at the time of a recent report used emoke-oonsuming devices, about one-fourth used hard coal or smokeless fuel. The general condition of the city was admirable. So admirable, indeed, that the title of the ordinance passed by the common council 1B worth quoting in full as an epitome of what such an ordinance should be. MICHIGAN NEWS MR. FERRIS MAY BE A CANDIDATE DESPITE HIS DESIRE NOT TO BERETURNING PROSPERITY The Law Would Nullify His Req»v«t Made on Secretary of State—A Prosperity sign—Various Matters of Note. Crand Rapids Democrats <nform«d the secretary of state's office Saturday that they will send In a few days a big bunch of petitions for W. N. Ferris for the Democratic nomination for governor. In the mall was a letter from Mr. Ferris in which he reiterated his statement that he is not a candidate for governor and «:oncludiug: "You will therefore refrain from permitting my name to be printed as a candidate at the primaries." Mr. Kerris's request caunot be complied with, as it is the duty of the secretary of state to authorize as candidates those who file the necessary UBtltions. There have been about 300 petitions tiled for Ferris KG far. About 2,500 are needed to nominate bipi. MNk of Human Kindness. There is a great deal of kindness and consideration in the world, even if the pessimist* do try to prove the contrary. Some days ago one of the big trans-Atlantic steamers sailed from Hoboken leaving behind a considerable number of persons who had engaged steerage .passage home and could not be accommodated In the rush for quarters. The Hartford Courant was inclined to think it anything but a square deal to sell tickets to more passengers than the vessel could provide quarters for, but learns that the aliens whose passage i r a s delayed are being properly and comfortably cared for. The ship lines assume full responsibility, and a society organised for the purpose supplements the, companies' efforts in case of, .need Cots • r e put on boats wblcfc. .-ar*; ; i *4,a the dock, and each of the "holdovers" gets 75 centB a day to meet living expenses while so detained. The Courant adds: "All this is no more ftan we expected. It is a general rule about travel that the helpless persons find many who are ready to help them; a child, properly labeled, can travel safely around the world with a good deal less labor than the e*j»rte||oed traveler." i% is a pretty gootfiol* world if touched In the right way. •' Straw Indications. Little straws indicating returning prosperity are noticeable in Marquette and vicinity. The Breitung mines are taking on 250 additional men, and it is planned to keep Ihem employed throughout the winter. The Lake Shore Engine Works has put departments en full time that have been on part time for some months past, and the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic railroad shops, which have been running on a four-day schedule, have extended it to five. The picking up in general industrial conditions, which is evidenced by these developments, extends to other activities in the upper peninsula, and there is a good demand for men. Building operations in this city were never more active. tenia Has Fire But Six fires of incendiary origin in as many weeks have put Ionia people In a state of apprehension closely bordering on terror.

Giles rl?u<Uey arrived in Ban Francisco to join his friend and distant relative Henry Wilton, whom h* was to assist In-an important and mysterious task, and who aocompanlttd Dudley on the ferry boat trip into the city. The remarkable resemblance of the two men la .noted and commented on by pssswgers on the ferry. They see a rnan. with stnake eyes, which sends a thrill through Dudley. Wilton postpones an explanation of the strange errand Dudley is to perforin, but occurrences cause him to Itnow it is one of no ordinary meaning. Dudley is summoned to the morgue and there finds the dead body of his friend. Henry Wilton. And thus Wilton dies without ever explaining to Dudley the puxsling work he was to perform in San Francisco. In order to discover the secret mission his friend had entrusted to htm; Dudley continues his disguise and pmtnits himself to be known a s Henry Wilton. He learns that there is a boy whom he is charged with Becretlng and protecting. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton; is employed by Knapp to assist to a, stock brokerage deal. Giles Dudley finds himself closeted in a room with Mother Borton who makes a confidant of him. He can learn nothing about the mysterious boy further than that it is Tim Terrlll and Dai by Meeker who are after him. Dudley visits the home of Knapp- and is stricken by the beauty- of Luella, his daughter. Slumming tour through Chinatown Is planned. The trip to Chinatown. Giles Dudley learns that the party is being shadowed by Terrill. ^ jella and Dudley are cut off from e rest of the party and imprlson- «d in a hallway behind an iron-bound <Joor. Three Chinese ruffians approach the Imprisoned couple. A battle ensues. One is knocked down. Giles begins firing. Tim Terrill Is seen in the mob. A newly formed mob is checked by shots from Giles' revolver. Policeman Corson breaks down ttfe floor with un ax and the couple Is rescued. Luella thanks Giles Dudley for saving her life, Knapp appears at the office with no traces of the previous night's debauch. Following hia-instructions Dudley has a notable day in the Stock Exchange, selling Crown Diamond and buying Omega, the object bpln« to crush Decker, Knapp's hated rival. Dimley discovers that he loves Luella Knapp. Mother Borton tells Giles Dudley that "they've discovered where 'Uw. .boy' is." The mysfarlous unknown woman employer of Dudley meets him by appointment with "the boy" who Is turned over to Dudley with his guards and they drive with htm to the ferry boat to take a train out of the city. Dudley and his faithful guards convey "the boy" by tram to the village of I-Jvermore, as per the written instructions. The party is followed. Soon after the party is quartered In the hotel a special train arrives in Llvermore. The "gang" including Darby Meeker and Tim Terrill, lay siege to the hotel and. endSJflKtr to capture "the boy," who comes ipWfcrd to see the fight. "Tricked aigalh," cries Tim Terrill. when he sees the youngster's face. "It's the wrong boy." CHAPTER X X I V . On the Road. The wrong boy! For a moment I could not understand nor believe; and when the meaning of the words came to me I groped In mental darkness. But there was no time for speculation. Half in a daze I heard a roar of curses, orders, a crash pf glass as the lamp was extinguished, and over all came the prolonged growl of a wolf-voice, hoarse and shaken With anger. There was a vision of a wolf-head rising above the outline of fjaces a few yards away, dark, distorted, fierce, with eyes that blazed threats, and in an instant 1 found myself in t h e center of a struggling, shouting, swearing mass of savage men, fighting with naught but the instinct of blind rage. I doubt not that I was a s erasy as t h e rest. But in m y madness there was one idea strong in my mind. It was to reach the eveil face and anake-ay.es of.Tom. Terrill, and stamp the life out of him. With degperate1 rage I shouldered and fought till h i s white face with its venomous hatred, was t e x t to .mine, till the fingers of my left hand gripped his throat, and my right hand tried to beat out h i s brains with a sixshooter. "Damn, you!" be gasped, striking fiercely at me. "I've been waiting for } y o u ! " I thightened my grip and spoke no word. H e writhed and turned, striv- , ing to free himself. I had knocked his revolver from his hand, and he tried in vain t o reach it. A trace of fear stole into the venomous anger of the one eye that was unohscured, a s he strove without success to guard himself from my blows. But h e gave a sudden thrust, and with a sinuous writhe he was free, while I was car- Tied back by the rush of men with the vague impression that, something was amiss with me. Then a great, light flamed np before me in which the struggling mob, t h e close hall and rocua, and t h e universe itself melted away, nnd I was ajQne. Tuennext impression that cams to me was-'-that ot a; voice from an !m measurable distance. "He's coming to," is said; and then r beside it i haacd a strange .wailing cry. >\\™ i' ^ - ; • "What Is f t r ' I asfce*d, trying to i l t upf, Ny^folpe. seefaqd to come from nltyes apfay and to belong to some oiher mail. "That's i t : you're all right," said the voice ^encouragingly, a n d about the half of Niagara fell un my face. Then t h e mists before my eyes cleared away, and I found that I was on the floor of the inner bedroom and Wfcinwrlght had emptied a water jug over me. The light of a small kerosene lamp gave a gloomy illumination to the place. Lockhart and Fltzhugh leaned against t h e door, and Wilson bent with Wainwright over me. T h e boy w a s sitting on t h e bed, crying shrilly over the melancholy situation. "What is i t ? " 1 asked, gathering my scattered wits. "What has happened?" "We've been licked/' said Wainwright regretful!^. "The rest of t h e boys got took, but we got in here. Fitz and me seen the nasty knock you got, and dragged you back, and when we got you here the parlor was full of the bounds, and Porter and Abrams and Brown was missing. We found you was cut, and we've tried to fix you up." I looked at my bandged arm, a n d put one more count in the indictment against Terrill. He had tried to stab me over the heart at the time b» had wrenched free, but he had merely slashed my arm. It was not a severe wound, but it gave me pain. "Only a scratch," said Wainwright. I envied t h e philosophic calm with which h e regarded it. "It'll heal," I returned shortly. "Where Is the other gang? Are they gone?" "No; there's half a dozen of 'em out In the parlor, I reckon." "You'd better tell him," said Fltzhugh, shifting an unpleasant task. "Well," said Wainwright, "we heard orders given to shoot t h e first man that comes out before morning, but before all to kill you if you sticks your nose outside before sun-up." The amiable Intentions of the victors set me to thinking. If it v,as important to keep here till morning, it must be important to me to get o u t There was no duty to keep here, for I need fear n o attack oh t h e boy who was with us. I looked at my watch, and found it was netir 1 o'clock. "Tie those blankets together," I ordered, as soon as I was able to get my feet. The men obeyed me in silence, while Wainwright vainly tried to quiet the child, I was satisfied to have him cry, for the more noise h e made the less our .movements would be heard. I had a plan that I thought might be carried out. While, the others were at work, J cautiously raised t h e window and peered through t h e shutters. The rain was falling briskly, and the wind still blew a gale. I thought I distinguished the dark figure of a man on guard within a few feet of the building, and my heart sank. "How many are in the parlor, Wilson?" I asked. Wilson applied his eye to the keyhole. "Can't see anybody but that oneeyed fellow, Rroderick, but there might be more." A flash of memory came to me, and I felt in my pocket for Mother Borton's mysterious scrawl. "Give that to*a one-eyed man," she had said. It was a forlorn hope, but worth the trying. "Hand this to Broderick," I said, "as soon a s you can do it without anyone's seeing you." Wilson did not like t h e task, but he took t h e envolope and silently brought the door ajar. H i s first investigations were evidently reassuring, for he soon had half his body outside. "He's got it," lie said on reappearing. A little later there was a gentle tap at the door, and the head of the oneeyed m a n was thrust in. "IVs a s much as my life's worth," he whispered. "What do you want me to do?" "How many men are in the street below here?" "There's one, but more are in call." "Well, I want him got out of t h e way." "That's easy." said Broderick, with a diabolical wink of his one eye. "1*11 have him change places with me." "Good! How many men a r e here?" "You don't need to know that. There's enough to bury you." "Have Meeker and Terrill gone?" "Tom? He's in the next room here, and can count it a mercy of the saints if he gits out in a week. Meeker's gone with the old man. Well, I can't stay a-gabbin' any longer, or I'll be caught, and then t h e divil himself couldn't save me." I shuddered at the thought of the "old man," and t h e shadow of Doddridge Knapp weighed on my spirits. "Are you ready for an excursion, Fitzhugh?" I whispered. He nooded assent. "Well, we'll be out. of here in a minute or two. Take that, overcoat. 1'vo got one. Now tie that blanket, to the bedpost. No, it won't be long enough. You'll have to hold i t for us, boys." I heard the change of guards below, and, giving directions to Wainwright, with funds to settle our account with the house, I blew out the lamp, quietly swung open t h e shutter a n d leaned over the sill.. "Hold onto t h e blanket; boys. Follow, Fitz," I whispered, a n d climaed out. The strain on my Injured a r m a s I swung off gave me a burning pain, but I got t o the grouad in safety, and the improvised; rope1 was drawn up. "Where now?" whispered Fitzhugh. "To t h e stable." As we slipped along to t h e corner a man stepped out before us. "Don't shoot," he said; "it's me— Broderick. Tell Mother Borton I wouldn't have done It for anybody hut her." "J'm obliged to you just the same," I said. "And here's a bit of drink money. Now, where are my men?" "Don't know. In the lockup, I reckon." "How"a t h a t ? " "Why, you see, Meeker tells t h e fellows here he has a warrant far you —rtbat you're t h e gang of burglars that's wanted for the Parrott murder. And be had to show the constable and the landlord and some others the warrant, too." "How many were h u r t ? " "Six or seven. Two of yoar fellowB looked pretty bad when they were carried out." We turned down a by-street, b u t a s soon as the guard had disappeared we retraced our steps and hastened to the Thatcher stables. The rain was whipped into our faces as we bent against the wind, and the whlsh and roar of the gale among the trees and t h e rattle of loose boards and tins, a s they were tossed and shaken behind the houses, gave a melancholy accompaniment to our hasty march. We nearly missed the stable In the darkness, and it was several minutes before we roused Thatcher to a state sTrafraran wtmojiim* MO mrton the too "I 'By in which h e could put together the two ideas that we wanted to get in, and that-it way his place to get up and let us in. "Horses to-night?" he gasped, throwing up his hands. "Holy Moses! I couldn't think of letting t h e worst plug of the lot out in this storm." "Well, I want your best." "You'll have to do It, Dick," said Fitzhugh with a few words of explanation. "He'll make it all right for you." "Where a r c yoir going?" asked Thatcher. "Oakland." 4 He threw up his hands once more. "Great Scott! you can't do it. The horses can't travel 50 miles at night and in this weather. You'd best wait for t h e morning train. The express will be through here before 5." "I hesitated a moment, but chances of being stopped were great. "I must go," I said decidedly can't wait here." "I have it," said Thatcher, hard riding you can get to Niles in time to catch the freight a s i t goes up from San Jose. It will get down In time for t h e first boat, if that's what you want." "Good! How far is It?" "We call it 18 miles—it's over that by the road. There's only one nasty bit. That's in the canton." "I think we shall need the pleasure of your company," I said. "It's a bad job, but if you must, you must." h e groaned. And h e soon had three horses under the saddle. I eyed t h e beasts with some disfavor. They were evidently half-mustang, and I thought undersized for such a journey. But I was to learn before t h e night was out the virtues of strength and endurance that lie in the blood of the Indian horse. "Hist! What's that?" said Fitzhugh. extinguishing t h e l i g h t The voices of the storm and the uneasy champing of the horses were the only sounds that rewarded a minute's listening. "We must chance It," said I, after looking cautiously into t h e darkness and finding no signs of a foe. And in a moment more we wore galloping down the street, the hoofbeats scarcely sounding in the softened enrth of the roadway. Not a word was spoken after the start as we turned through the side streets t:> avoid t h e approaches to the hotel. Thatcher suddenly turned to the west, and in aautJker mlnuta <**e w»r», v . . the o p e a V l M r w a y , W t t i -the atdady beat or tfeajfyvaaa' fcoofi^spla*hJU*g, a wild ffas/thm.o* -y»a: HMhdip road. f i W }he tdArn qtice b & t n d us, I felt my 4>lrits rife w|th eVerj atroke of the corse's hoofs beneath' me.

We'll breathe t h e horses b i t " The beasts were panting a little, but chafed a t the bits a s we walked them and tossed their heads uneasily to the pelting of the storm. " H a r k ! " I cried. "Did you hear that?" I was almost certain that the sound of a faint halloo came from behind us. 1 w a s not alone in t h e thought. "The dern fools!" said Fitzhugh. "They want a long chase, I guess, to go through the counta/ yelling like a pack of wild Injuns." "I reckon 'twas an owl," said Thatcher; "but we might a s well be moving. We aeedn't take n o chances while we've got a good set of heels under us. Get up, boys."' (TO BE CONTINUED.) M A D E W R l L E YOU W A I T .

T H E "LESS" AGE. Physicians Advice to Those Who A r t Fond of Mushrooms. It may be possible that when all the boys a r e dead they will quit eating toadstools and dying in spasms therefrom. The edible and poisonous varieties of these fungi are too close together in general and species for the average youngster to differentiate them. It continues, after many years, to be the same old story: Eat It; If it kills you It is a toadstool; If It agrees with you it is a mushroom. Some years ago t h e department of agriculture a t Washington issued an elaborate and beautiful set of illustrations of mushrooms and "near" mushrooms, labeling one set "edible" and the other "poisonous." The story leaked out that the printers got the labels mixed, and that t h e transposition was not discovered until t h e work had been sent broadcast The officials did soma tall hustling in an effort t o call in the I&sae. A well-known physician said to me the other day: "Owing to t h e very great difficulty in ordinary life of detecting the true from t h e false, my mushroom advice has usually been 'let both kidds alone."*—New York Press.

CHAIRMAN, OLD BOYS AND GIBLS o r PINCKNEY AND VICINITY. LADIKS AND GENTLEMEN :— When 1 Btood upon the platform in the old grove across the Mill pond two years ago, I felt proud to «ee so many respond to the social call of a reunion, and to day, u I see you ai?ain assembled here in liberal numbers, 1 am still more proud of your loyalty to the association, and to the old village which sent us out into the great social and commercial vortex of the world. 1 say social and commercial, because I believe that outside of our duty to Almighty God, these are the two paramount considerations of life aud despite the opinions of a few multi-millionaires to the contrary, the social subject is in my judgement by far the most important of the two. I hold that we owe it to one another to regularly attend these meeting, because such revivals of old friendships and good feeling as develop here are nothing more nor less than a pure banquet of the heart. I havs travelled extensively throughout the North American continent and have known many pleasurs. My chosen avocation holds a distinct fascination for me but over and above all this nothing outside of my own interesting family attracts me half so much as these reunions of the old boys and girls of Pinckney. I 1 iok forward to them with indescribable pleasure. I am proud of you, one and all, and to be of you, and 1 am proud of the the old village which gave me birth. Not long ago, while spending an evening in the leading hotel of one of our great, Northwestern cities, I had the pleasure of meeting a Pinckney boy—an old schoolmate, in fact—who now holds a very important position with a large income attached, and I assure you I was glad to shake his hand. We spent a most enjoyable evening together, talking over the events of boyhood days and it was iiard for me to say good bye to him. I hope he is with us today. I have met. others, too, of the old boys and girls who went out from this village and am glad to say that I have found them to be dominant moral forces and successful men and women in their localities. But to return to the social problem, which, ns I have said, is really paramount with us all: it is a subject of such broad lines, such infinite scope, that, I hesitate to approach it in this way, and I am reminded of a story told by a distinguished fellow citizen, Gen. Horace Porter of New York. I know the General to be a man of high repute, but 1 tell you the story wilhont vouching for it. Tt seems that a certain preacher of Kirksville, Mo,—-noted for his literal acceptance of the Scriptures—had a son who, unlike the father, was not all goodness and was oftentimes mischievous ; on a certain Saturday the minister said to the hoy, "Now, John, I want you to be certain to be pres" ent at services tomorrow morning, because I am going to read from a verv interesting lesson in Genesis," and he told him the number of the chapter and t i e verses. That night the boy crawled into the church and securing the old Bible, readily found the place and pasted together two of tue pages. The next morning being' Sunday, the Minister mooted the pulpit and after the usual long service, began to read an follows;—"And when Noah was of years one hundred aud twenty he took uuto him* self a wife, who was (here he turned a page) 120 cubits long, 40 cubits wide, built of gopher wood, and covered with pitch, aud tilting back his spectacles, said to the tittering congregation, " I never saw that in the Bible before, but I believe it to be true; it's a big subject but 1 will try and preach to it." So 1 say that the social theme is so limitless in Its diiueutdouB that 1 cannot attempt to discuss it here at length. A tew thoughts however, in this connection, may be of interest tu you. A famous man once said, ''Let us not forget that we are mere members of one great organism—that rational beiugs exist for one auother—and that the intelligence of the.world is social." I believe this is true, and I believe also that the irresistible tendency of the human race is toward sosocial advancement, and on this account; if no other, the world cannot retrograde. Only the other day a young man asked Senator DePew "What is the secret to success?" Mr. DePew answered "My boy there ib no secret to it. It is simply dig, dig, dig." This is the keynote which every young man must rigidly observe. "The road to success is not strewn'7 with roses." Then again, we must not measure our success by the success of others. It makes no difference how other men succeed. Their success is theirs not ours. It matters nothto me beyond my natural appreciation of genius, that Edison can invent and develope the electric light and I cannot,—that Kipling can write the Recessional and I can not—that you can plead law or practice medicine and I cannot. You do one thing and I do another. Success is for all of us, just so far as we do well what we can do aud we should not envy our neighbor or by reason of a more lucrative poBitition in life, feci that we are above him. On the contrary, it is incumbent upon us to cultivate a spirit of love and goodwill toward him though his bauds be deeply furrowed with hard labors lines. We must not gei ourselves in the frame of mind of two little English girls, one the daughter of a curate, the other of a bishop, who were quarrel, ing over the respective merit* of their fathers in the ministry. Said one, "My father can preach better that yours because he is a bishop." That was too weighty a reason for the curate's child, but she quickly recovered and said, "Well, any how, we've got a hen in our yard whicli lays an egg every day," "That's nothing" retorted the bishops daughter, "My father lays a corner stone every week." We cannot all be geniuses but we can at least improve. Upon being asked his definition of genius, Edison replied, "Two per cent is genius and nighty eight per cent is hard work." And when lie was asked upon another occasion, "Mr. Edison don't you think that genius is inspiration?" he replied, "No. (renins il perspiration." Hard work is understood by very few young men. *The average young man is either afraid of it or he has no taste for it. 1 fear that there was a great deal of truth in the answer made to an editor of a Western newspaper who sent to all the successful men in the city, this question, "Why is it that RO few of our young men succeed?" One answer came in this laconic phrase, "Because too many of them are looking for white shirt jobs." It was a homely way of putting it, but there is much truth in it. Many >onng men want success but are not wilKng to work for it and right, here, I hope I may be pardoned for saying a word to the parentR. Be careful how yon try to dissuade your Ron from the kind of work for which lie hungers or shows decided taste, it. may not be agreeable to you that he wishes to be a physician ; you would rather see him a lawyer, but remember it does not necessarily follow that he can be one.

They spoke in whispers and each, as he came Into the circle of light from the log fire, dismounted, pressed forward and, touching hhj hat, took the father's hand. The burning logs of pine sent upward fitful flames that summoned t h e house with its dorlc columns from t h e shadow behind its magnolias, making flashlight pictures that came and vanished in quiet succession. T h e aisled among t h e trees alternated between solemn vistas and a gkfom more solemn. Behind, on t h e horiaon, t h e lights of a city t e n miles awayf shone like setting stars. Ne . search qf the premises was made—experience had taught these men the futility of search. They waited. That which they waited for came at last, a dog of the "July" breed, obtained from t h e camp of t h e county convicts miles away, a dog small, listless, with long drooping ears and awkward limbs. He could pick up a human trail and follow it with unerring skill, faulting never, except when t h e scent merged- perfectly with sohiefoing fa-s miliar. And, even then, if* left patiently to work out hid problem, he would succeed. The cotton planter turned to t h e negroes who, earning to'^he scene* of, dfed out in the direction of the dog's voice, which was receding straight away. Thirty minutes later t h e cavalcade re-entered t h e grove, t h e planter advancing t o meet them.

She had not spoken when shrieks broke t h e stillness and a negro woman, who had come across the cotton field, plunged Into the light and, falling, clasped t h e girl's knees. The woman was almost breathless with excitement and exhaustion. She had run from the distant cabin wherev the negro had been seized. He was her boy, and came but seldom to this plantation, and then only to escape the consequences of crime elsewhere. "Don't do it, missy—for God's sakel! It warn't him!

"This, then, Miss Jones," said the young man, as h e started for the door, "is your final decision?" "It is, Mr. Wick," said t h e young girl, firmly.

The thermometer belongs to no se cret society, but. it takes some very high degrees. Resent Use of Term "Dago." Much indignation h a s been created in the Italian colony of British Columbia because of the use of the word "Dago" by the attorney general of that province. In commenting oft the case the Dundee Advertiser says the word •yago Is probably a corruption of Ulogo, one of ibo Spanish forms of James. It was originally used in the states bor^erlng^^n'-Mexico to designate a man ^ S p a n i s h parentage, and then by extension to all Spaniards, Portuguese and Italians. The attorney general is reported during the prosecution of an Italian on the charge of murder not only to have used tho word several times as descriptive of southern Europeans, but. also to have classed them with oriental coolies, saving plainly that, in his opinion, they were not wanted in the country. Whore the wage determines the work, the work is never worth much. Something* untoward always1 happened when Smith's aunt commanded his presence. On t h e occasion of his last visit h e recalled that the cook had appeared in the middle of the evening incontinently drunk and he had risen from the toot of t h e porch flight down which they had together fondly rolled, ruffled and dazed. Then there was the trouble with t h e water tank when it had burst during dinner and sent a miniature Niagara roaring down the attic stairs. And Smith w a s by way of being a nervous man and such things got on his nerves. So that when h e opened t h e usual curt invitation, really a royal command to spend t h e nigh week-end in the country with his rich aunt, be made a wry face and began to worry. But h e knew that h e must go—there was no way out of It—'the aunt was rich, and he was the heir apparent. Sunday was a quiet day with some of t h e neighbors in t o dinner. And even this usually funereal occasion was lightened by t h e presence of s chap who had just returned from a trip to Korea and was willing to talk about it. It was about two o'clock the next morning. Smith was dreaming of a perfect drive off t h e sixth tee when there came a knocking at his door. His aunt was without and would hold con verse with him. He had congratulated himself when he went to bed that on this visit nothing unhappy was to happen. But aa he stumbled into his perverse blanket robe he wondered what it might be and decided that the cook had returned to t h e bottle. So that he was not prepared for the seriousness of the problem. "It's burg lars," said his aunt, with' conviction. "Don't you hear them?" He listened and was bound to admit that there was a noise below stairs that sounded amazingly a3 if some one was walking stealthily about in the dining room. They could even hear something like the discreet click of silver, muffled, as if from the depths of1' a concealing bag. Against his desire not to become convinced h e made sure that there was actually men In the house: What to do? , Knowing well that she had no fire-; arms, he asked, bravely; "Have yoili got a gun, Aunt Lavina''" (Yes, that* was her name.) "Mercy on us, n o ! " said she, "But I've got a burglar alarm. It's one of these protective thin^a that when you ring it a man comes." From which we deduce (hat Aunt Lavinia was a bit incoherent from fright. "It's on the wall there along the hall. You pull down the little crank and let go." Smith crept along the hall, stalking the burglar alarm. He found it and pulled down the crank and "let go," not once, but many times. Then, with the consciousness of having risen to the occasion and done the right thing at the right moment, he chatted with his aunt in whispers. Then suddenly the doorbell rang. The suspense was over now, and he had been brave. Surely there would be an extra $10,000 in t h e will for that. He could go blithely to the door, sure that the burglars would not harm him now that they realized help was coming from outside. With a sweep h e threw t h e door open, expecting to s e e a squad of burly men standing on the step. He looked into black darkness. But from the level of his knees he heard a voice say: "Say, mister, did youse ring for a messenger?"—Phils delphia Public Ledfcer. Bishop Potter's Pledge. In t h e appreciation of Bishop Potter, contributed to t h e Boston Transcript by the Rev. Dr. Lelghton Parks, rector of St. Bartholomew's chnroh, this story is told: "Tt is known to few that while stHl a young man Dr. Potter was called upon to deal with a parishioner who had become intemperate; In the course of the conversation t h e man remarked: 'But you also drink wine,' to which came the quick response, 'If you will promise never to touch Intoxicants again so will I.' The double pledge was given, and never broken on either side, and this at a time when Dr. Potter was pointed at by the comic newspapers aa a "wine bibber.'

In fact, I don't know the name of the patient and X never got any fee for i t I was summoned, saved a boy's life and drove away, all in a very few minutes. "One summer, years ago, I was out driving in the country up the state. I was going by a farmhouse when a man rushed out waving his arms at me. 'Drive for a doctor, quick,' Ae yelled. 'My boy's choking to death.' I pulled up my team, shouted to the man to hold the horses and dashed into the house. A boy about ten years old was lying on a couch in the dining room. His face was purple and I did not have to look twice to see that he was choking to death. His mother wu:i kneeling beside him, crying. There was not time for questions or anything else, but the quickest kind of quick work. I saw that I would have to perform the operation of tracheotomy without a moment's delay. 1 had no instruments with me. 1 felt in my pocket for my penknife, opened it, made the necessary incision in the boy's windpipe and fixed him up temporarily until I could Bend a note to the nearest doctor to complete the job. "I heard afterward that the boy got well, and that my penknife operation was as complete a success as if it had been performed in a hospital with all the appliances. I have often, looked back on that operation with distinct pleasure, because I worked BO swiftly, surely and well without a second's preparation—automatically in fact. That is why I feel like calling it my 'star' achievement." X-Rey Dermatitis. Mr. Hall Edwards, who was recently granted a civil list in recognition of his services in the development cf medical radiography, underwent a further operation at his residence. Bristol road, Birmingham, recently. In February last the left arm, which had been violently attacked by whet is known as X-ray dermatitis, was amputated below the elbow. This did not give the relief hoped for, however, the wound failing to heal, and the patient suffering almost as acute pain as before. The operation was also unsuccessful in arresting the progress of the disease, which developed seriously in the right hand. The last operation involved the removal of the ringers of the right hand. It was performed by Mr. Gilbert Barling, agisted by Mr. Macardle and Mr. Vickers Whitby. On inquiry it was stated that the patient had recovered from the effects of the anaesthetic, and was in as hopeful a condition as could be expected. Mr. Hall Edwards has latterly been engaged on a work dealing with dermatitis which, it is understood, he has practically completed.— London Times. Making a Profit. A j arty of amateur pigeon shooters some time ago arranged for a match, and ordered HO pigeons from a dealer in a neighboring town, says the Penny Magazine. The shooting was of a really wonderful character, but the actual performances need not be described in detail. The net result will be gathered readily from the following note, which was subsequently received from the dealer. It ran: "Gentlemen—I beg sincerely to thank you for your order, and to intimate that I shall be only too happy to supply you with any number of birds on future occasions of this sort.

In the long warfare between the spider and the fly, the latter has bad the housewife for its auxiliary and friend. The flies have been tolerated, even fed and nurtured, while the spiders and their webs have been ruthlessly destroyed. This unremitting and unrelenting war against It keeps the spider population down, while the flies increase and multiply by the millions and ten of millions, almost unchecked. The spider is ugly and his web is unsightly in the estimation of most people, but spiders hurt no human creature. They feed on flies, which are the foes of mankind, and do mankind a service.—Philadelphia Press. An Unenthusiastic Host. "Did you invite Mr. Bliggins to our house party?' asked Mr. Cumrox.

Marry and Part For a Ysar.* Among t h e many peculiar customs prevalent among the people of Central America Is that of parting for one year after the marriage ceremony h a s been solemnized. Thia cuBtom has prevailed among the .Tamos from time Immemorial. There is no courtship allowed t o be carried on between the parties prior to the wedding. When a man selects a woman be obtains the consent of t h e parents on both sides, and if this is given tbey a r e a t once married. The reason, however, for their not living together as man and wife for one year after marriage is in order t o permit of the parties visiting and staying with their respective friends in different parts of the country, which la a customary thing and occupies t h e time specified. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of these marriages turn out well. ADDITI0WAL LOCAL. WXIT XAXI0*. Mrs. A. B. Farrington is visiting friends in this neighborhood. A party of 28 friends and relatives of G.

Famished from hunger, suffering l'rom the effects of poiaon and a blushed wrist, by which methods he attempted to end his life, John M. Ward, slayer of the wife he de*erted 22 years ago, was caught in tke swamps near Bltely late Friday. Ward betrayed himself by appearing at a ntmrby farmhouse to ask for food and water. Mrs. Mary Skinner, from whom he made the requ«st, Jled to the nearest neighbors to give the alarm. Ward hurried back to the swamps. A posae of fanners was formed and after two hours of search Ward way discovered. He made no resistance and appeared to be in a half-dazed state. He was brought to Newaygo Friday night and in the presence of several officers made a complete confession of his crime. "I came back to my wife, hoping for a reconciliation,'' he declared. "The morning of the murder 1 came down stairs and tried to kiss her. She slapped my face and in my rage I struck her down. Then I finished her with an old knife I found around the house." Ward then fled to the swamps and on the third day took the poison, a quantity of aconite. It did not bring death as he expected and he then slashed his wrists, but also failed to die by this method. At the jail a physician was called to attend him. The wounds in the wrists were sewed up and he will recover. On arraignment Saturday Ward, charged with the murder of his wife, waived examination In Justice court and was hound over to the circuit court for trial, September 21. "I feel better and stronger," said Ward, "and later I may talk." Ward denies that he attempted miicide by drinking poison. Thirteen Men Injured in Explosion.

Standing in a carriage in the middle of Congress street, between the Auditorium and Auditorium Annex, in Chicago, and before a crowd which completely choked the thoroughfare, for nearly half a hour, William Jennings Bryan outlined the uses to which Democratic clubs can be put in the present campaign. He was repeatedly interrupted by applause and shouts of 'good, good." Bryan made a plea for popular subscrtptiens, and estimated that the Democratic national ticket this year would muster 8,000,000 votes. If each of those voters would subscribe even 25 cents, he said, an ample campaign fund would be secured. Hryan will make a determined effort to place New York state in the Democratic column in November. Plans to this end were carefully laid at a three-hour conference of Hryan, National Chairman Mack, heads of the various bureaus of the national committee and members of the executive committee, shortly after Bryan's arrival from Des Moines. Bryan will speak In New York City, Syracuse and Rochester between September Hi and 20, and early in October will again speak in New York City and in Buffalo. Chairman Mack announced that Ir.yan would speak in Cleveland September 21, in Columbus September 22. in Cincinnati September 211, and would probably speak in Dayton on a dale yet to be determined. I'f was developed at the conference that Bryan would make a sharp light in '.he middle west, while John YV.

A CA£$\ i\ has often been stated that the sea is Infinitely more productive, acre for acre, than the most fertile land in the world; Indeed, without Including the countless myriads of more or less minute organisms that serve as food far flsb.es, one has only to consider for a moment the enormous quantities dally landed and" consumed in England alone, to be convinced of the truth of the assertion. Who is there that has passed over London bridge, and is not familiar with the busy scene which takes place every morning, when, amid the tattle of steam-winches and raucous shouts of the porters, London's daily fish supply is landed at Billingsgate market? Prosaic enough those three or four small steamers look lying huddled up side by side against the wharf, with the white-smocked porters tolling like strings of ants, each with his load on his head, across their decks, or returning empty-handed for a fresh case. Insignificant and unkempt as they may appear beside smart passengerboats, these stoutly built little vessels, that can scarcely raise ten knots an hour, will go plungings and wallowing amid clouds of spray into the teeth of the fiercest gale that ever blew; while their aristocratic companions cower timidly in harbor, waiting for better weather before they venture forth. They are built for rough work, and they get plenty of it as conveyers of fish from that marvelous floating town that year in and year out. moves slowly over the famous Dogger bank, or cruises steadily and unceasingly round the North sea, searching for, and endeavoring to follow, the vast shoals that frequent these inexhaustible fishing-grounds. Unheeded as are the inhabitants of these sea townships by the great majority of landsmen, they are not permitted to go altogether uncared for, thanks to the Royal Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen, which has three mission- steamers stationed permanently among the fleets. There are four of these fleets, each consisting of upwards of 70 or 80 trawlers, Irrespective of foreign vessels and numerous independent fishing boats. A visit to the City of the Sea during fhe summer months makes a remarkably enjoyable pleasure trip; but to see the seamy side of life aboard a steam trawler one must go in the winter, when the seas run mountains high, and the wild north wind, like the breath of the Ice Spirit, drives the snow and gleet into the fishermen's fae*« as they haul in their nets, and lutmhs their fingers as they subsequently clean and sort the catch. Vtsittfig the fleet a in winter is no light undertaking*. Leaving Billingsgate t sonn after midday we arrived at Oravesend > s h o r t l y before dark, and .made faat alongside the coal and ice hulk <o rapleaUk Qur Btores.of these /irtWsnensable domtnoditie*;- The coal f is carried aboard in sacks, while the ice is transferred by means of a chute, at the upper cud of which is a crushing machine, which breaks the blocks of ice into small pieces before allowing them to travel down into the forehold of the "cutter," aa a fish-bearing steamer is called. On the following morning we had plowed our way out on to that part of the fishing grounds in which the fleet had been last heard of, so a sharp look-out waa kept; but it was not tintil late in the afternoon that the trawlers were sighted. In thick or foggy weather, and, indeed, even in fine, It is often no easy matter to locate a fleet, as the fishing vessels are continually on the move, and a cutter might pass and repass quite close without sighting them. Finding tho fleet often occupies days. As iucfc would have it, we came across three fleets all fishing within sight of one another, forming a veritable floating town, extending in all directions as far as the eye could see. Having located our fleet, the Hellyers, and steamed up to It, the trawl was cast; for each cutter carries a trawl, and uses it whilst waiting for her turn to load and return to London. The weather by this time was comparatively fine, and the fleet began to close In upon another cutter, which was to take the night's catch to market. One by one the trawlers came up, lowered their boats, and loaded them with boxes of freshly caught fish. "Hoarding" is a lively scene in any weather. The cutter lies idly rolling to the swell, surrounded by a crowd of boats; on the deck of the cutter a man stands waiting to receive the boxes one at a time; while in the bow of tho boat that is being unloaded stands another with a box of fish ready, waiting for the moment when the motion of the waves brings him level with the cutter's rail. The visitor may rest assured of a cordial welcome aboard the mission ships, the largest and most modern of which Is the Queen Alexandra. These vessels constitute the centers from which stores, tobacco and clothing are distributed to the floating population of the fleets. The crew of the mission ships are, no idlers, for as soon as boarding is over, and the last of the boats that have called to bring patients, or come to purchase tobacco or stores, has left the ship, the trawl is got out; and they fish just the same as the other members of the fleet, except on Sundays, when services are held aboard. Indeed, the mission boats give a very good account of themselves as fishermen, their catch generally comparing well with those of th» crack boats of the fleet. Another interesting feature of the North sea trawling is the manner in which the fleets are maneuvered. Each has an admiral whose trawler Is the flgship; and all captains must obey Instructions as to the direction in which they are to steam; otherwise the fleet, would obviously get hopelessly scattered In a few hours, and it would be impossible to concentrate around the cutter in the morning to discharge Uiqir fish. During the daytime flag signals are u s e d ; - b u t - a t night, once every half hour, a colored rocket soars into the sky from the admiral's trawler, conveying directions as to the course to be steered, according to the, •olor displayed.

Uncle Sam Tells How to Make Pure Pies P ROGRESS made In food and drug inspection and legislation during 1907 Is explained In detail In the year book of the department of agriculture, just issued. The book shows that methods of manufacture were studied by government experts and whenever possible assistance was given manufacturers in improving their methods. By means of sterilization it was found that various fruit and vegetable produ c t s ' can be preserved without the use of chemical preservatives. The experiments along this line resulted In new methods for the preserratlon of ple-fllling articles and canned goods. Extensive investigations as to the use of sulphur for drying fruit were made, resulting in the discovery of better methods for drying fruit and in disclosing the fact that.molasses and syrup do not contain so much sulphur as has generally been supposed. The study of the influence of cold storage on the value of food gained much headway. Among the more Important studies of the methods of manufacture and preservation of foods and drugs were the bleached flour investigation, the lemon oil investigation, the whisky investigation and the investigation of nonfermented beverages alleged to contain cocaina or other objectionable drugs. The experimental work of the bureau of chemiBtry, the enforcement of the federal food and drugs act, numerous investigations and the part played by various states in the enactment of laws regulating the manufacture and sale of foods are some of the subjects treated in the book. The bureau ot chemisty established ten additional branch laboratories throughout the country, where samples of food and drugs collected by inspectors under the direction of a chief inspector are sent. During last year 7,041 samples of foods and drugs were sent to these laboratories, resulting in 323 a t a r i n g s and the transmittal of 12 criminal caaes to the department of justice for prosecution. One of the greatest difficulties encountered was to secure a sufficient number of inspectors or chemists possessing the requisite training and experience in foods and drugs. Mot* Acceptable Worship.

HIS OPINION OF F I E L D I N G . At Least. Only Kind Young Broker Knew Anything About. M R. MASANO HANIUARA, second secretary of the Japanese embassy and a social favorite of the diplomatic corps, was so severely injured from the result of his daring rescue of an American woman from a runaway horse that he may suffer the consequences for the remainder of his life. The Japanese diplomat was battered and bruised and had his foot so badly crushed by the horse's hoof that it will be months before it is healed. The rescue occurred some days ago. Mr. Hanihara was walking along Rhode Island avenue on his way to the embassy and had started to cross the street when his attention was attracted by cries of "Look out!" by horse was plunging wildly from side to side, driving every one pell mell for shelter as It neared the spot where Mr. Hanihara stood. The young Japanese, who stands about five feet and is small in proportion, dodged out of the way. but no sooner had the horse come abreast of him than he made a leap for the bridle. The terrific speed of the enraged animal made him miss his hold and swung him under the horse's hoofs, but before he completely lost his hold he i caught a grip on the bridle and swing- j ing clear managed to climb on t h e ' horse's back and bring him to his ! knees. The animal regained his feet [ however, and by rearing, attempted f to throw Mr. Hanihara from his back, i but the diplomat, tightened his grip gradually until the animal, snorting with pain, confessed itself vanquished. When Mr. Hanihara reached the embassy he summoned his physician who found that the horse had trampled on his foot and crushed it. badly. Treatment afforded little relief, as the bones were so badly bruised that A young broker in Boston, while visiting a certain household in the Hub not long ago, encountered a number of young women graduates whose conversation suddenly turned to a discussion of the development of the English novel.

Social Incident Makes Society Smile coming president of the United States than any other man, and that in standing upon his undoubted right to demand first place or none he did the worst thing possible. "What if it is his right and duty to, say he will not walk behind a mere private citizen," said a minor diplomatic society man in discussing the Incident. "What good will that do him when Mr. Taft is the president? Will the then president have forgotten that the minister said he woXild not dance in the German with him?" It was tactless for M. Gude to even suggest, his rights to a "pig of a maltre de hotel," sav the diplomats, because he should have known that the hotel man would tell the newspapers about it and. in that way his refusal would come to the ears of Mr. Taft. The only ihing at all in favor of the minister is the fact that there is not a great deal of diplomatic business to transact between Norway and the- United States and Mr. Taft is likely to be so busy for the first few months after he goes into office that he win forget thene waa such a man <u guides THE refusal of Minister and Mme.

It cannot, because the United States has no official social functions and the squabbles, about precedence never have anything more than an indirect* effect, upon diplomatic relations The minister created a great deal of talk among the many diplomatic officials in Washington, not because he had refused to participate, but because he allowed the hotel management to know why he refused.

For over two years I suffered from nervousness, weak heart, shortness of breath, could not sleep, etc. "My appetite was ravenous, but I felt starved all the time. I had plenty of food but it did not nourish m e because of intestinal indigestion. Medical treatment did not seem to help. I got discouraged, stopped medicine and did not care much whether I lived or died. "One day a friend asked me why I didn't, try Grape-Nuts, stop drinking coffee, and use Posfum. I had lost faith in everything, but to please my friends I began to use both and soon became very fond of them. "It wasn't, long before I got some strength, felt a decided change in my system, hope sprang up in my heart and slowly but. surely I got better.

The oatfisb uses bis lungs RR an organ of hearing. Tho needless lung becomes a closed sac filled with air nnd commonly known as the swim bladder. In the catfish, as in the suckers, chubs and most, brook llsb, tho air bladder la larpo nnd is connected by a slender tube, the remains of the trachea, to the esophagus.

The anterior vertebrae are much enlarged, twisted together, nnd through them passes a chain of bones, which connects with the hidden cavity of the air. The bladder therefore assists the ear of the catfish as the tympanum, and its bones assist the ear of the higher animals. An ear of this sort can carry little range of variety in sound.

The Majority Arc Semi intoxicated From the Cradle to the Grave. The Indian women of Bolivia are usually superior to their lords in actual intelligence; also in age, as a rule. They earn the larger share of their mutual "living" and take the lead In most things. As recognized head of the house the Bolivian Indian wife is much more likely to thrash her comparatively timid spouse than he is to ill use her. In the markets, when produce lias to l>e disposed of, she can drive a far better bargain tban he could; she can carry as heavy burdens, endure as much privation and physical toil, labor, chew as much coca and drink as much strong drink.

In order to discover the secret mission hi« friend had ^fitPUgteit. to him, Dudley continues his disguise and permits himself to he known as Henry Wilton. He learus that there is a boy whom he is charged with secrv.tiiiR and proteefing. Dudley, mistaken for Wilton, is employed' by Knapp to assist in a stock brokerape deal. Giles Dudley rinds' himself closeted in a room with Mother Burton who makes a confidant of him. He can learn nothing about the mysterious boy further than that it is Tim Terrill arid Darby Meeker who are after him. Dudley visits the, 'home of Kmipp and is stricken by the beauty of I.uella, his daughter. Slumming tour through Chinatown is planned. The trip to Chinatown. Giles Dudi«y I earus that the party la being shadoKred by Terrill. T.uellu and Dudley are cut off from the rest of the party and imprisoned in a hallway behind an iron-bound door.

Soon after the party is quartered In the hotel a special train arrives in Livermore. The "gang" Including Darby Meeker and Tim Terrill, lay ^iege to the hotel and .endeavor to capture "the boy," who comes forward to see the fight.

"These horses can't go five mllea more at that gait, lei alone 36," protested. Thatcher. "Well, then, we must g<et other horses here." "Come," said F i u h u g b ; "what'* the use ot that when m e r e B an eugiue on the siding dolus nothing'.'" "\iust the Idea. Find the man in charge." Hut there did not appear to be any man in charge. The engineer and flreman were gone, and the watchman had been driven to cover by the foul weather. We looked the iron horse over enviously. "Why, this is the engine that came up with the special this noon," Bald Fitzhujb'h. I remember the number." "Good! Wre are ahead of the enemy, then. They haven't had a chance to get the wire, and we beat them on the road. We must Cud the engineer and get It ourselves." "I've got an idea," said Fitzhugh. "It's this: Why not take the machine without asking? I was a flreman once, and I can run It pretty well." I thought a moment on the risk, but the need was greater. "Just the thing. Take the money for the horses to your friend there. I'll open the switch." In a few minutes Fitzhugh was back. "I told him," he chuckled. "He says it's a jail offense, but it's the only thins we can do." "It may be a case of life and death," 1 said. "Pull out." "There's mighty little steam here— hardly enough to move her," said Fitzhugh from the cab, stirring the fire, Hut as he put his hand to the lever she did move easily on to the main track and rested while I reset the switch. Then I climbed back into the cab and sank down before the warm blaz? in a stupor of fajntness as the engine glided smoothly and swiftly down the track. a«d that day, and that Doddridge Knapp or Gheorge Decker was to find ruin at the end of the call, and all were eager to hasten the decisive moment. 1 could see nothing of Duddrlii&e Knapp, and the uneasy feeling that he was at Livermore came over me. What waa my duty in case he did not appear? Had he left bin fotuue at the mercy of the market to follow his lawleas schemes? Had he been caught in his own trap, and was he now to be ruined as the result ot his own acta? I might have spared my worry. The call had not proceeded far when the maaaive form of Doddridge Knapp appeared at the railing. The strong wolf marks of the face were stronger than ever as he watched the scene on the floor, i looked iu vain for a trace upon him of last night's work. If he had been at Livermore he showed no sign of the passions or anxieties that had filled the dark hours. He nodded carelessly for me to come to him as he caught my eye. "You have the stock?" "All safe." "And the proxies?" "Just as you ordered." H . The King of the Street looked at me sharply. "Any-or'Aftnrr*5* asked at last. "Be where I o u r call you the minute 1 want you," he replied. "Now, my boy," he continued after a minute, "you are going to see what hasn't been se<pn in the Boards for years, and I reckon you'll never see it again." . . . "What is it?" I asked politely. I was prepared for almost any kind of fireworks in that arena. Doddridge Knapp made no reply, but rarsexl his hand as if to command silence, and a moment later the call of Omega was heard. And, for a marvel, a strange stillness did fall on the throng. At the word of call I saw Doddridge Knapp step down to the floor of the pit, calm, self-possessed, his shoulders squared and his look as proud and CHAPTER Xiy.~Continued. The willing brutes shot forward into the darkness at. the :word and tossed the rain drops from their ears with many an angry nod. I have a dim recollection of splashing over miles of level road, drenched with water and buffeted by gusts of wind, that fared ns more and more, with the monotonous beat ol hoofs ever in my ears, and the monotonous stride of the horse beneath me ever racking my tired muscles. Then we slackened pace in a road that wound "in sharp descent, through a gap in the hills, and the rush and roar of a t.or- ,»ht_bejieath'ami beside ua, the wind sweeping with wild blasts through t W trees that lined the way and covered the hillside and seeming to cHaoge.the'Otrecrfion of. its "attack at every moment. m .."Vye'll • make it., I reckon/' said Thatcher, at iast. "it's only two miles farther, and the train hasn't gone up yet." There was no sign o f life about the . . station as we drew our panting, steam* tag horses to a ha4t before it, and no train was in sight. The rain dripping heavily from the oaves was the only * sound that came from it, and a dull glow from an engine that lay alone on a siding was the only light that was to be seen. "What's the time?" asked Thatcher. "We must have made a quick trip." * . "Twenty minutes past three," said I, striking a match under my coat to see my watch face. !,"Immortal shakes!" cried Thatcher. "V'rth'ao.Idiot. This is Sunday night." I"'fatfed tb see the connection of ,» theso-<i**»ftJing diMiOvarios, but I had . spirit-enough to argue the case. "It's .

I awoke to some Interest at this a n - nouncement. / '"''Why, it's got "to rim,' ctf we mu»t» v CHAPTER XXV. A Flutter in the Market. Tlu' gray pall of the storm hung over San Francisco. The dim light ot the morning scarcely penetrated into the hallways as we climbed the stairs that ledT to our lodgings, leaving behind us the trail of rirfp^fnt'gHrrrrlnts. A. heaved a .-aigh x>f relief as Trent opened the door, and we once more faced the pleasing prospect of warmth, dry clothing and friends. We had made' the run from Niles without incident and had left the engine on a siding at Brooklyn without being observed. If the railroad comtyasjc'lltb) nas^cdrfefeUj, after all these y#ari'/ ko fctaow >e>w. tjkvat engine got ffqm Ntles to Brooklyn, I trust that the words I have just written may be taken as an explanation and apology. "Where's Harkhouso?" I asked, becoming comfortable once more with dry clothes, a warm room and &• fresh bandage on my arm. "He Uaaxx't. jjiiQ*ii, ..uiu .*shV said Trent. "Owens and Larson went out to look for him toward evening yesterday, but there wasn't a sign of him." "Try again to-day. You may pick up news at Morton's or some of the water-front, saloons." "Oh, there was a letter for you," said Trent. "I near fogot." I snatched the e.nvolope, for the address was in the hand of the Unknown. The sheet within bore the words: "Where is the boy? Have you removed him? Send the key to Richmond. Let. me know when you return, for 1 must see you as soon as if. is safe." I read the note, three or four times and each time T was more bewildered than before. I had left the boy in Livermore, but certainly he was not the one she meant. He was the "wrong boy," and my employer must be well aware that I had taken him at her orders. Or could that expedition be a Jest of the enemy to divert my attention? I dismissed this theory as soon as it. suggested itself. The' closing portion of the note set. my heart heating fast. At last I was to have the opportunity to meet my mysterious employer 'face to face. But what explanation wan I to make? What reception would I meet when she learned that Henry Wilton had given up his lite i£. fcer service and that I, who had taker* nriplafce, could tell nothing of the things she wished to know? I wrote a brief note to Richmond stating that I had no key, inclosed the Unknown's note, with the remark that. I had returned and gave it to Owens to deliver. I was In some arrxiety lest he might not know where Richmond was in be found. But he took the note without rmestion, and I law down with orders that I was to be called in time to reach the opening session of the stock market, and in a moment was fast, asleep. The Stock Rxehango was a boiling and bubbling masR of excitod men as I reached it, I saonldered my way throngh the c r W d ' into the buzzing Hoard-mom as the sesfcion opened.

The silence of the moment that followed was almost painful, when the voice of Doddridge Knapp rang like a trumpet through the Hoard-room. "Five hundred for Omega!" This was a wild jump from 325 that, was marked against the stock at the close on Saturday, but I supposed the King of the Street knew what he was about. At the bid of Doddridge Knapp a few cries rose here and there, and he was at once the center of a group of gesticulating brokers. Then I saw Decker, pale, eager, alert, standing by the rail across the room, signaling orders to men who howled bids and plunged wildly into the crowd that, surrounded his rival. The bids and offers came back and forth with shouts and br.rks, yet they made but a murmur conpared to the whirlwind of sound that had arisen from the pit at. the former struggles I had witnessed. There seemed but a few blocks of the stock on the market. "This is great," chuckled Wallbridge, taking post before me. "There hasn't been anything like it since Decker captured Chollar in the election of '73. You don't, remember that, I guess?" "I wasn't in the market, then," I admitted. "Lord! Just to hear that!" cried ttte stout little man, mopping his glistening head frantically and quivering with nervous excitement. "Doddridge Knapp bids 1,500 for the stock and only gets five shares. Oh, why ain't. I a chance to get. into this?" I heard a confused roar, above which rose the fierce tones of Doddridge Knapp. "How many shares has he got today?" I asked. "Not 40 yet." "And the others-?" "There's been about 2,000 sold." T gripped the rail in nervous tension. The battle seemed to l.e going against the King of the Street. "Oh!" gasped Wallbridge, trembling With excitement. "Did yon hear that? There! It's 1.700—«ov K V L775'.- W h e w ! " • • " -JU.' I echoed tb* exclamation. "Oh, why , .haven't -1 flflt 1I>M shares?" he groaned. "Who is gettiiy t h e m ? " "Rn»pp-*Knt tm last loL 0<jib, loofc there! Did you ever see the like of that?" I looked. Decker* tfttl&s, with hair disheveled, had leaped the rail and wasihurryiug t a t * ^be threfg that, BUTretindofl DoddrNbjB Kn#pp. "There was never two of 'em on the floor before," cried' Wallbrldge. At Decker's appearance the broker* opened a lane to him, the cries fell and there was an instant of silence as the kings of t h e market thus came came face to face. I shall never forget the sight. Doddridge Knapp, massive, calm, forceful, surveyed Vis opponent with unruffled composure He was dressed in a light gray-brow'» suit that made him seem larger thau ever. Decker was nervous, disheveletf. his dress of black setting off the pallor of his face, till it seemed as white aa his shirt bosom, as hn fronted the King of the Street. The foes faced each other, watchful as two wrestlers looking to seize an opening, and the Board-room held ita breath. Then the crowd of brokers closed in again and the clamor rose once more. I could not make out the progress of the contest, but the trained ear of Wallbrfdge interpreted the explosions of inarticulate sound. "Phew! listen to that! Two thousand, 2,100, 2,150. Great snakes! See her j u m p ! " he cried. "Decker's getting it." My heart sank. Doddridge Knapp must have smothered his brain once more in the Black Smoke, and was now paying the price of indulgence. And his plans of wealth were a sacrifice to the wild and criminal scheme into which he had entered in his contest against the Unknown. The clang of the gong recalled me from the reverie that had shut out the details of the scene before me. "There! Did you hear that?" groaned Wallbridge. "Omega closes at 2,600 and Decker takes every trlck^ Oh, why didn't you have me on the floor out there? By the great horn spoon, I'd 'a' had every share of that stock, and wouldn't 'a' paid more than half as much for it, neither." 1 sighed and turned, sick at heart, to meet the King of the Street as he shouldered his way from the floor. There was not a trace of his misfortune to be read in his face. But Decker, the victor, moved away like a man oppressed, pale, staggering, half-fainting, as though the nervous strain had brought him to the edge of collapse. Doddridge Knapp made his way to the doors and signed me to follow him, but spoke no word until we stood beside the columns that guard the entrance. "That was warm work," said Dodd' ridge Knapp after a moment's halt. "1 was very sorry to have it turn out ap," I said. A grim smile passed'over his face, "I wasn't," he growled good humoredly. "I thought it was rather neatly done." I looked at him in surprise. "Oh, I forgot that 1 hadn't seen you," he countinued. "And like enough I shouldn't have told you if I had. The truth is, I found « block of 4,000 shares on Saturday night, and made a combination with them." (TO BE CONTINUED.) BUTTER BY~THE~YARD. NATUflE AND A WOMAN'S WORK Dairy Product Is So Sold in City of Cambridge, England. In Cambridge, England, butter is sold by the yard. For generations it has been the practice of Cambridgeshire dairy folk to roll their butter into lengths, each length measuring a yard and weighing a pound. Deftly wrapped in strips of clean white cloth, the cylindrical rolls are packed in long, narrow baskets made for the purpose, and thus conveyed to market. The butter women who, in white linen aprons and sleeves, preside over the stalls In the market have no need of weights or scales for dispensing their wares. Constant practice and experienced eyes enable ^hem with a stroke of the knife to divide a yard of butter into halves or quarters with almost mathematical exactness. The university people are the chief buyers of this curiously shaped product. In addition to being famed for its purity and sweetness, Cambridge "yard butter" is eminently adapted for being served to the students in the daily commons. Cut In conveniently sized pieces and accompanied by a loaf of the heat wheat bread, a stated portion is sent round every morning* to the rooms of the undergaduates for use at. breakfast and tea.—-The Sunday MagR7ine.

In the good old-fashioned days of our grandmothers they relied upon the roots and herbs of the field to cure disease and mitigate suffering. The Indians on our Western Plains to-day can produce roots and herbs for every ailment, and cure diseases that battle the most skilled physicians who. have spent years in the study of drugs. From the roots and herbs of the field Lydia E. Pinkham more than thirty years ago gave to the women of the world a remedy for their peculiar ills, more potent and efficacious ^hati.axry.CQiubmation of drugs. Lxdia M, Pinkham's Vegetable Compoiuitt is nov?CBCognized>s the standard remedy $pr woman's ills. Mrs. 'Bertha Muff, of 515 N.C. St., Louisiana, ilo., writes: "Complete restoration to health means so much to me t h a t for the aake of other suffering women I am willing to make my troubles public. " F o r twelve years I had been suffering with the worst forms of female ills. During t h a t time I had eleven different physicians without help. No tongue can tell w h a t I suffered, and at times I could hardly walk. About two years ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice. I followed it, and can truly say t h a t Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound aqd Mrs. Pinkham's advice restored health and strength. It is worth mountains of gold to suffering women. What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Oompound did for Mrs. Muff, it will do for other suffering women. His Faulty Memory. "Have you got any—any typewriter exterminators?" asked the small boy.

Not bad on the poesy thing thiB morn, eh, Bunch? Holy mackerel r I'd like to see you travel over this part o^ tfce universe and get a peep at any forget-me nits or maggieolas. Nothing doing. Over here, Bunch, the wild eyed advertiser is abroad In the land, uud his "Took Another Look/* advertisements are stuck, like a lot of second-hand court plaBter, all over the face of Nature. I love to read the advertisements In the newspapers and the magazines, but I also love to be permitted to stop reading them when the dinner bell rings, which is an impossibility if you're traveling on the railroads in our dear land of liberty—God bless It! In these days, Bunch, you'll find that the something which once was a beautiful landscape is covered with a board fence whereon it says: EAT EATEM'S EATA1UL1TY EASILY THE MOST EATABLE EATING EVER EATEN. 1 think the Idea of changing a green hillside into a treatise on indigestion, and making all the pretty trees along the roat ide point their branches in the direction of a drug store is wrong, lint maybe I've too much poetry in my veins and not enough business. I took a little trip from New York to Philly last week, and it was then that the foregoing thought hit mo a belt In the thinker. It's only a question of a short, time, Hunch, when our American scenery will be changed to pill news. I looked out- the car window with the laudable Intention of admiring all the geography as it rushed by, but before I could enthuse over two spruce trees and 18 blades of grass, a large Ktgn shut off my view and caused me to see this: SAWDUST FRITTERS The New Breakfast Food Once Swallowed Never Forgotten I winked my eyes once or twice and took another look, and tfyere, spread ™ A s t r ,?n fl« Will.

A f«iW days later, a young man, seeing a grUphopborie on * fable In the dead man's library, put into it a record which he supposed was that, of a popular Rugffft'n song. *To his amazement and-'terror, instead of a song he heard the voice of the dead man recite the wnr'ds'^bf the missing will.

Then I said to myself: "I'll try the other Bide of the car where, no doubt, I'll see a mountain or a country fair or something human in the distance, "but all 1 saw was 97 feet of board fence, which was yelling out these words; ; DRINK BINGLEBAUER'S : WHISKEY All Judges Say It Makes Trade Lively : Especially the Police Judges For ten minutes 1 sat there, Bunch, with my eyes shut, and when finally I took a little peep out the window it resulted In this: SpeaKmg, of scenery remind* me that Peaches and I took a flying trip to Niagara Falls not long ago. I'm not o u t ' t o describe ibe Falls, Bunch, so don't throw this letter down and acreara for help. Whfn we stepped off the care we found, stretching out as far as the pocket book could reach, a line of hacks, river-going hacks which had been standing so long in the shadow of the falling water that they seemed to be giving each other th*j Minnehaha. (Indian joke.) Eighty-seven hack drivers with tears in their eyes and beer in their voices, when possible, coaxed Fcauees and me to jump on board their catamarans and be concussloued over to the Falls, but after a long and bitter tight our consciences won the victory, and we walked. Like all great thingB lu thin world, Buuch, the Falls of Niagara started out from a very small beginning mid gradually worked Itself up to fame and fortune. When it started out away back In the woods the Niagara river had no f SMOKE YELLOW FINGER'S CIGAROOTS And Die Lingering, But Dopey Then I tried to figure the thing out, and presently came to the conclusion that the train must still be in the heart of civilization, and that after we reached the veal country the landscape would assert its rights and begin to happen. In about 20 minutes I glanced carelessly out the window, and I'll be doggoned if I didn't see another board fence with this on it: Be a Good Choojer and Chew CHEWINGTON'S CHOO CHOO The Gum That Don't Gome Off. Now I leave it to you, Bunch, if it isn't discouraging. Can you beat it in Europe? Can you get close enough to it to tie it? Then I looked up and out and saw— "The Wildcyed Advertiser Is Abroad." yes, Hunch, another mile of fence, some of which bore this legend: : Children, dear, in any case : Don't drive nails in Mother's : face; : If you do and she should scream : Try'MHce Smith's Complexion : Cream!

JO PEN DEALING I N P A I N T . Preferred Captivity to Hunger A pet goldfinch escaped from bis cage and flew into a tall tree in the back garden. There he sat, singing his sweetest and rejoicing in his unexpected "freedom. The cage was brought out, stored with a generous supply of seed and a lump of sugar and placed on the top of a step-ladder; but he scorned to look at it, and defled his former masters with a victorious song. This was kept, up for a half-day, and, when it seemed that the goldfinch had gone for good, it occurred to one of the distressed people to rattle the seed in the tin box in which it is kept. This sound, known in the household as "ring-In* the breakfast hell," was a familiar one to the bird, and, being unused to find his own living, he was very hungry. It. suggested seed, sugar, lettuce and other dainties, so he hopped .down slowly from bough to bough, until he waa close to his cage. There be stood tar sons* time, evidently fcesitatJag, until, suddenly, he fluttered down into his home, having decided to abandon the delights of liberty for the solid comforts of civilization.

Mixtures in which chalk, ground rock, etc., predominated were marked and sold as "Pure White Lead,' the deception not beiug apparent uml! the paint and the painting were paid for. This deception ia still practiced, but w« have learned 10 expose it easily. National Lead Company, the largest makers of genuine Pure White Lead, realizing the injustice that waa being done to both property owners and honest paint manufacturers, set about to make paint buying safe. They J r s t adopted a trade mark, the now famous "Dutch Boy Painter,'' and put this trademark, as a guaranty of purity, on every package of their White Lead. They tnen set about familiarizing the public with the blow-pipe teat by which the purity and genuineness of White Lead may be determined, and furuiahed a blowpipe free to every one who would write them for it. This action waa in Itbelf a guaranty of the purity of National Lead Company's White Lead. As the result of this open dealing the paint buyer to-day has only himself to blame if he Is defrauded.

Ford at No. 882 Twelfth St.. Detroit, August 29th, ult., although perhaps, not an enrolled member of the cr ganization, was indued one of the oldest girls of Patnam and Piuckney. She first saw.light in Iosco, Livingston Co. on March 1st, 1839, and was one ot the first white children born in that township. When live years of age, her father, Henry M. Wood, a brother of the late Hon. C. M. Wood, purchased the farm in West Putnam now owned by Albert G. Wilson, Esq , and removed with his family thereto. The children who attended school in the log hut known as the Marble Schoolhouse in the 50's will remember no happier playmate or brighter scholar than Fanny Wood. Her first attendance at church was at the early meetings of the Congregational society ot Pinckney, where her grandfather, John Wood was a deacon and precenter. In 1858 her lather exchanged the farm in Putnam tor a hotel property near Detroit on Grand River road, then known as the Four Mile house* and nmoyed his family thither. Here she met and married Israel Daniels, a prosperous young twmer of Greenfield to whom she bore two children, a son Frank, and a daughter Achsie, now Mrs. Ford. Mrs. Daniels was endowed with a peculiarly bouyant and happy disposition, anh although frequently called to pas* under the rod of severest disappointment, affliction and bereavement, buy the loss of fortune, in the sudden and untimely death of her only son, and in the tragic death of her husband she bore all with that tranquil resignation which is born only of an abiding 'aith in the unfailing wisdom ot God.

Mr. Baughn, proprietor of the Bluffs 8aid that it was by far the largest crowd that had ever visited the place in one day and he thought from appearances they were having the time ot their lives. There was plenty to eat and not onde- l aired had supper as well and still1 there was many baskets full left. Surely they were the most successful picnics the schools ever enjoyed they have many more such.

Decker is defeated. C H A R T E R XV.—Continued. "Then the mine is yours?" "The directors will be." "But you were buying shares this morning." "A mere optical illusion. Wilton. I was- In fact a seller, for 1 had shares to spare." "It was a very good imitation." "I don't wonder you were taken In, my boy. Decker was fooled to the tune of about $1,000,000 this morning. I thought It was rather neat for a clean-up." I thought so, too, and the King of the Street smiled at my exclamations over his cleverness. But my congratulations were cut short as a small dark man pressed his way to the corner where we;stood, and whispered in Dodtfrfdge Knapp's ear. "Was he sure?" asked the King of the Street. "Those were his exact words." "When was this?" rtNot five minutes ago." "Run to Caswell's. Tel! him to wait for me." The messenger darted off and we followed briskly. Caswell, I found, was an attorney, and we were led at once to the inner office. "Come in with me," said my employer. "I expect I shall need you, and it will save explanations." The lawyer was a till, thin man, with chalky, expressionless features, but his eyes gave life to hi?, ^nce with thelr"keen, almost, brilliant, vision. "Decker's playing the Joker." said the King of the Street. "I've beaten him in the market, but he's going to make a last play with the directors. There's a meeting called for 12:30. They a r e going to glvo him a two * years' crmfrnct for milling, and they, ;taik of declaring 20,000 shares of m y l •atoelf invalid.- ' u ." "Hpw "many director's have you "Twv-yB^rb«r and njysei/.

You'li' ha** to -hold, them tor hull an hour—maybe an hour." "Make it bait an hour," growled Doddridge Kuapp. "Juat re/neniber that time is worth »1,000 a second till that inunction la served." He went out without another word, and there was a commotion of clerks as we left. "How's your nerv«, Wilton?" inquired the King of the Street calmly. "Are you ready Tor some hot work?" "Quite ready." "Have you a revolver about you?" "Yes." "Vrery good. 1 don't want you to kill any one; but It may come in handy aa an evidence of your good iuten tiona." He led the way to California street below Sansome, where we climbed a flight of stairs and went down a ball t o a glass door that bore the gilt and painted letters, "Omega Mining Co., J. D. Storey, Pies't." "There's Ave minutes to spare," said my employer. "He may be alone." A stout, florid man, with red sidewhiskers and a general air of good living, sat by an overshadowing desk in the handsome office, and looked sourly at use us we entered. He was not alone, for a young man could be seen in a side room that was lettered "Secretary's Office." "Ah, >lr. Knapp," be said, bowing deferentially to the millionaire, and rubbing his tat red hands. "Can I do anything for you to-day?" "1 reckon so, Storey. Let me introduce you to Mr. Wilton, one of o*^r coming d i r e c t o r . " I had an inward start at this information, and Mr. Storey regarded me unfavorably. We professed ourselves charmed to see each other. "I suppose it was an oversight that you didn't send me u notice of the directors' meeting','" said" Doddridge Knapp. Mr. Storey turned very red, and the King of the Street said in an undertone: "Just lock that door, Wilton." "It must have been sent by mail," stammered Storey. "Hi, tliere! young man, what are you doing?" he exclaimed, jumping to his feet as .1 turned the key in the lock. "Open that door again!" "No you don't, Storey,' came the fierce growl from the throat of the Wolf. "Your game is up." "The devil it is!" cried Storey, making dash past"' Doddridge Knapp and coming with a rush straight ."or me. "Stop him!" roared my.employer. I sprang forward and grappled Mr. Storey, but I found him rather a large contract, for I had to favor my left arm Then he suddenly turnetj limp and rolled to the floor, his head thumping noisily on a corner of the desk. Doddridge Knapp coolly laid a hard rubber ruler down on the desk and .1 recognized the source of Mr. Storey's discomfiture. "I reckon he's safe for a bit," he growled. "Hulloo, what's this?" I noted a very pale young man In the doorway of the secretary's office, apparently doubtful whether he should attempt to raise an alarm or hide. "You go back in your room and mind your own business, Dodson," said the King of tho Street. "Go!" he growled fiercely, as the young man still hesitated. "You know I can make or break you." The young man disappeared and I closed and locked the door on him. "There they come," said I, as steps sounded in the hall. "Stand by the door and keep them out," whispered my employer. "I'll see that Storey doesn't get up. Keep still now. Every minute we gain is worth $10,000." I took station by the door as the knob was tried. More steps were heard, and the knob was tried again. Then the door was shaken and picturesque comments were made on the dilatory president. Doddridge Knapp looked grim, but serene, as he sat on the desk with his foot on the protstrate Storey. I breathed softly, and listened to the rising complaints from without. There were thumps and kicks on tho door, and at last a voice roared: "What are you waiting for? Break it in." A crash followed, and the groundglass upper section of the door fell in fragments. "I beg your pardon, gentlemen," I said, as a man put his hand through the opening. "This revolver is loaded, and the first man to come through there will get a little cold lead in him." There was a pause and then a storm of oaths. "Get in there!" cried Decker's voice from the rear. "What are ynu afraid of?" "Tie's got a gun." "Well, get In, three or four nf you at once. He ran't shoot, you all." This spirited advice did not .seem to find favor with the front-rank men. and the enemy retired for consultation. . At la,st a messenger came, forward) "What do'you want?" he asked. f want you to Iceop out."* • "Who Li he?" asked Decker* voice. "There's another one there," cried another voice. "Why, It's Doddridge Knapp!" Deekef made usy of some language not intended for publication, and inure was whispering for a few minutes, followed by sitouce. 1 looked at Doddridge Kuapp, sitting grim and unmoved, counting the minutes till the injunction should come. Suddenly a man bounded through the broken upper section of the door, tossed by his companions, and 1 found myaelf ia a grapple before 1 could raise my revolver. We went down on the floor together, and 1 had a. confused notion that the door swung , open and four or five others rushed into the room. I squirmed free from my opponent and sprang to my feet in time to see the whole pack around Doddridge Knapp. The King of the Street sat calm and forceful with a revolver In his hand, and all had baited, fearing to go farther. "Don't come too close, gentlemen," growled the Wolf. Then 1 saw one of the men raise a six-shooter to aim at the defiant figure that faced them. 1 gave a spring and with one blow laid the man on the floor. There was a flash of Are as he fell, and a deafening noise was In my ears. Men all about me were striking at me. I scarcely felt their blows as I warded them off and returned them, for I was half-mad with the desperate sense of conflict against odds. But at last I felt myself seized In an iron grip, and in a moment was seated beside Doddridge Knapp on the desk. "The time is up," he said. "There's the sheriff and Caswell with the writ." "I congratulate you/' i answered, my head still swimming, noting that the enemy had drawn back at eke coming of reinforpements. "Good heavens, man, you're hurt!" he, cried, pointing to my left sleeve, where a blood stain was spreading. The wound I had received in the night conflict at Llvermore had reopened in the struggle. "It's nothing," said I. "Just a scratch." "Here! get a doctor!" cried the King of the Street. "Gentlemen, the directors' meeting Is postponed, by\ order of court." CHAPTER XXVI. A Vision of the Night. "You are a very imprudent person," said Luella, smiling, yet with a most charming trace of anxiety under the smile. "What have I been doing now?" I asked. "That is what you are to tell me. Papa told us a little about your saving his life and his plans this morning, but he was so very short about it. Was this the arm that was h u r t ? " I started to give a brief description of my morning's adventure, but there was something in my listener's face that called forth detail after detail, and her eyes kindled as I told the tale of the battle that won Omega in the stock Board, and the fight that rescued the fruits of victory in the office of the company. "There is something fine in it, after all," she said when 1 was through. "There is something left of the spirit of the old adventurers and the knights." I took her hand, ami she let it lie a moment before she drew it. away. "I think I am more than repaid," I said. "Oh, yes." she said, changing her tone to one of complete indifference. "Papa said he made you a director." "Yes. I said, taking my cue from her manner. "I have the happiness to share the honor with three other dummies. Your father makes the fifth." "How absurd!" laughed Luella. "On ynu want to provoke me?" "Don't, mind me, Henry." interrupted the voice of Mrs. Knapp. "But L must," said I. giving her greeting. "What service do you require0 " "Tell mo what jv>u hnv? been doing?" "T have just been telling Miss Lu ella." "And w h a t raav I ask*' "I was explaining this morning's troubles." , ' ' ' » "Oh, I Ba*TQk a fttjle, of, Mela from Mr. Kuapp.' Have you-had day more of y<Hte a<£r»tufes t * . Ik^rtea's -and other -dreadful plfcea?" 1 e^asldejad a moftieut, and then, as 1 could see' no reason for keeping al lent, 1 gave a somewhat abridged account of my Jjvermore trip, omitting reference to the strange vagaries of the Doddridge Kuapp who traveled by night. I had reason to be flattered by the attention of my audience. Both women leaned forward with wide-open eyes, and followed every word with eager in terest. "That was a dreadful danger you escaped," said Mrs. Knapp with a shudder. "I am thankful, indeed, to see yuu with us with no greater hurt." Luella said nothing, but the look she gave me set my heart dancing In a way that all Mrs.,Knapp's praise could not. "1 do hope this dreadful business will end soon," said Mrs. Knapp. "Do you think this might be the last of it?" "No," said I, remembering my note I had received from the Unknown on mjr return, "there's much more to be done." "I hope you are ready for it," said Mrs. Knapp, with a troubled look upon her face. "As ready as I ever shall be, I soppose," I replied. "If the guardian angel who has pulled me through this far will bold on to his job, I'll do my part." Mrs. Knapp raised a melancholy smile, but it disappeared at once, and she seemed to muse in silenee, with no very pleasant thought on her mind. Twice or thrice 1 thought she wished to speak to me, but if so she changed her mind. "I wonder at you," said Luella soft ly, as we stood alone for a moment. "You have little cause." "What you have done is much. You have conquered difficulties." I looked in her calm eyes, and my soul came to the surface. "I wish you might be proud of me," I said. "I—I am proud of such a friend— except—" She hesitated. "Always an 'except,'" I said halfbitterly. "But you have promised to tell me—" "Some day. As soon as I may." Under her magnetic influence I should have told then had she urged me. And not until I was once more outside the house did I recall how Impossible it was that could ever tell her. "Here's some one to see you, sir," said Owens, as I reached the walk and joined the guards I had left to wait for me. "Yes, sor, you're wanted at Mother Borton's in a hnrry," said anothei voice, and a man stepped forward. "There's the divil to pay!" I recognized the one-eyed man whe had done me the service that enabled me to escape from Llvermore. "Ah, Broderick. what's the matter?" "I didn't get no orders, sor, so I don't know, but there was the divtl's own shindy in the height of progres sibn when I left. And Mother Borton says I was to come hot-foot for you and tell you to come with your men if ye valued your sowl." "Is she in danger?" "I reckon the thought was heavy on her mind, for her face was white with the terror of it." One of the men was sent to bring out such of my force as had returned, and I, with the two others, hurried on to Borton's. (TO E E C O N T I N U E D ) A L L A M A T T E R OF INCHES. Woman's Increased Height Makes Her Superior to Man. I wonder if the love ideals of womanhood are changing with the sex. which is certainly in a transition state. At one time it was a rare event for a woman to marry a man much younger than herself; now it Is a common one. Not so very long ago, In her secret heart, the unattached maiden rather longed for a master to whom she might play the part of admiring and adoring satellite; but in the present year of grace she prefers to be sovereign herself, and to have a prime minister who i3 useful and subordinate. Can this change be in any way due to the superior inches of the modern woman? A difference must inevitably exist between the day dreams of the six-foot something and the day dreams of five-foot nothing. Only the other evening, at a concert, I was much struck by the imposing manner in which a very tall woman, splendidly gowned, made her entrance Into the room. She swept in as if the whole world belonged to her, while behind her followed an insignificant creature in black carrying her costly cloak, her fnn :ind I don't know what else. Honestly. I felt sorry for lifrny but realized that my pity was wasted. One could see he exulted in his wife's magnificent appparance and his own subjection.— Black and White, London. W H A T T H E T R A D E MARK MEANS TO T H E B U Y E R Few people realize the Importance of the words "Trade Mark" stamped ou the good* they buy. If they did it would save them many a dollar spent fur worthless goods and put a lot of unscrupulous manufacturers out of the business. When a manufacturer adopts & trade mark he a s s u m e s the entire responsibility for the merit of his product. He takes bis business repution In his hands—out in the limelight—^" on the square" with the buyer of his goods, with the dealer, ami with himself. Thtf other manufacturer—the ona who holds out "inducements," offering t<j brand all goods purchased with each local deaJer's brand — sidesteps responsibility, and when these Inferior gooda "come back" It's the local dealer that must pay the penalty. A good example of the kind of protection afforded the public by a trade mark is that offered in connection with National Lead Company's advertising of pure White Lead as the beat paint material. That the Dutch Boy Painter trade mark is an absolute guaranty of purity in White Lead la proved to the moat skeptical by the offer National Lead Company make to send free to any address a blow-pipe and instructions how to test the white lead for themselves. The testing outfit la being sent out from the New York office of the company, Woodbrldga Building. A B S E N T M I N D E D . M Old Gent—Here, you boy, what are , you doing out here, fishing?

Aider. Dragglst DISEASE AND PAIN. ' fhm Theory That Suffering l i Mental More Than Physical. A great deal of alleged physical suffering is primarily mental. A great many people have "fixed ideas" of disease, pain, debility, fatigue, dread, in- 1 efficiency and unexpressible woes. ; Much often than we realize these can be transplanted without surgery or medication. I do not mean that they are not real sufferings. They are as real as the grave, but they are not ' grounded In physical infirmity, and i they are not to be cured with physics The mind becomes possessed of a con- ! vlction that a certain part of the body I Is infirm and imputes pain to that part In spite of all the medicine in the world. Hundreds of people refuse to get well , after the physician has cured them. It ' is not his fault, and it is not their : fault. But they have simply had dis 1 ease suggested to them until they can- 1 not think at all except,upon that assumption. It is an "auto suggestion," • or It is a family suggestion, and the only way to remove it is by the vigorous counter suggestion of another person. The value of a "fixed idea" of health, as being only the removal of n fixed idea of disease where there was no organic reason for it, will hardly be disputed. Yet one cannot overemphasize the multitudes that there are • of these invalids sitting in padded chairs ! and making ready for the hearse whose trouble is primarily mental, and how many there are, again, who have a slight organic infirmity and have inj creased its effects a thousandfold by what we may call "household sugges- I tion." — M"» littrinmn m Atlantic Perry's Big Guns. Commodore Perry had not yet elec trifled a grateful nation, with his Ir.i• mortal message. "We have met the enemy, and they are ours." While lh«- battle was in progress the sound ot the guns was heard at (.'lev-eland, about sixty miles away in a direct lim over the water. The U>\v settlers there were expeding the battle and listened With intense interest. Finally the Rounds ceased. They waited for a re newal. None came; the lull was pain ful. Then they knew the battle was over'; but the result—ah, that was the point. One old fellow, who had been lying flat with his ear to the ground. soon settled that point. Springing up, he clapped his hands and shouted: ' T h a n k God! They are whipped! They are whipped!" "How do you know?" the other* laquired. "Heard the big guns l a a t r Perry's guns w a n toe t e s T l e s t LOrltflimLJ "It la unclean for you to press me, Kenneth; I cannot IK* your wife." "Why not?" "Mother. I cannot leave her alone.

You, 1 know, like a cool house. When you came home to u hot one you would throw open all the doors aud windows. Mother would retire to her room and stay there all the evening. She would wish to have mo with her. I would remain with you. She would call me. I would say: 'No, mother; you have had me with you all day. My husband needs me now.' To which she would reply: 'I Khali not live the night through. Goodby. I die of cruelty.' Then you would say: 'Go to her. Tomorrow we shall be free.' I would go, but we would not be free tomorrow or the next day or the n e x t " "You mean that in time she would be free; we would do the dying." "No; we'would drag out a miserable existence." "The picture interests me. Go on." "Then occasionally we would have a little misunderstanding." "Never." "Yes, we would. All married people Co. Mother would be aware of it. She would take my part and would treat you like a criminal. That would make you furious, and we would be forever making up. Then she would be continuously discovering that you had no respect for the hardships I was enduring. She would consider you a model of selfishness and treat as auch." "Any more of it?" "Yes; you would soon lose your equanimity and treat her harshly. That would stab me to the quick and would only Irritate her the more against you." "Go on." "Occasionally we would wlah to go •ut to a theater or to viBlt our friends. Mother would make such a fuss about being left alone that we would have to give up such pleasures. Then you might wish to go on a journey and take me with you. I couldn't leave mother. Then you would begin to •orse and 1o swear and wish her at the bottom of a bottomless pit or in the hottest of a fiery furnace. It would be terrible." There was a long pause. Presently he said, but with a faint heart: "I love you so well, sweetheart, that I would rather stand all this than give you up." She wavered and at last said: "Let fate decido for us. Do you see those two volumes In the library In red morocco? Well, tomorrow morning when you come downstairs there will be a 'Yes' in one volume and a 'No' in the other. ! Choose one. We will abide by the result of your choice." For the rest of the day he thought hard. That night when all were in bed he slipped downstairs In his stocking feet and went to the library. lie opened volume one and found a "Yes," then volume two and found also a "Yes." Rubbing out both, he wrote a "No" for each, put. them in and stole upstairs to bed. The next morning when he heard her leave her room he left his, and they went, downstairs together. He went to the library, hesitated long between the two volumes, lifted his eyes as if in silent, prayer, then took out volume two, opened it, read the word "No" and sank limp in a chair. Then, with a moan, he rushed from the house. There were complications for a few days. Then he wrote "Mother" on a slip of paper and "Kenneth" on another, placing one in each of the red morocco volumes. The next morning she was to draw as he had drawn. He did ont slip downstairs that night to make both "Kenneth." Indeed, he feared that If "Kenneth" were drawn it would mean both "Kenneth" and "Mother," a combination he especially wished to avoid. But as the clock struck the midnight hour there was a silken tread on the stairs. A white figure descended and, going to the library, took nut the slip on which "Mother" was written and wrote "Kenneth" in Its stead. "Fate has decided In your favor, Kenneth," she said after drawing, and be held her In his arms. "But if all floes not turn out as well as you exfeet you mustn't blame me."

A "»*\, -J A Fowl That Won a Battle. A singular story is told of a gallant cock whose moral influence at a critical moment during the battle of St. Vincent helped to save a British manof- war from the hands of the enemy. The fowl In question formed part of the live stock of the Marlborough, a vessel which had suffered so severely that her captain was considering the advisability of striking his flag. The ship was entirely dismasted, while the chief officers had been carried below severely wounded, and the crew, without anybody to cheer them up, were beginning to grow sullen under the heavy tire of the enemy, to which they were hardly able to respond. At this emergency a shot struck the coop in which the fowls were confined. The only surviving occupant, a cock, finding himself at liberty, fluttered up and perched himself on the stump of the mainmast and surveyed the scene of carnage around him. Then, flapping his wings in deilnnce, he began to crpw vociferously. He was answered by three hearty and exhilarating cheers from the crew, who all had a good laugh and, with spirits thus renewed, continued the action with a vigor that lasted until a turn in the battle rescued them from their tight position.— London Chronicle.

It is not Justice that decides questions. Victory, irrespective of guilt or innocence, perches upon the banner of the Hiost brilliant legal knight." "I regret." replied Kuddock, "that this is too largely the condition of our courts, but it doesn't absolve me from doing my best for my client, and I do not see how it can be different." Margaret called this devil reasoning, and, not being willing to tie herself to a man who would clear a client who was a rogue, she broke the engagement. Twenty years passed. Kuddock was in his prime and was elected prosecuting attorney in a large city. His election went with one of those waves of reform peculiar to our people. It was said that convictions could not l>e procured on account of political pulls of prisoners. Kuddock was put in by the best men of both parties to see that rascals were sent to prison or the gallows. After his entry upon the duties of his office there was a perceptible difference in t h e amount of crime perpetrated till a t last it reached a minimum. The night before Truesdalo Scott's second trial was to come up Ruddock was sitting in his rooms—he w a s a bachelor—forming plans to crush the banker. Suddenly the door opened and a woman entered. Ruddock looked up at her In surprise. "The district attorney, I believe?" she said in a choked voice. "I am." "Tomorrow you a r e to try Trueadale Scott?" "Yes." "I come to ask your forbearance. Mr. Scott i s . in n o way a guilty man. Caught !n a maelstrom as he was swept along, he grasped methods some of which were not within the law. Upon you rests his conviction or acquittal. Is it your duty to make one of your brilliant efforts against him?" "A lawyer's duty la to do t h e best he can for his client. A prosecutor's duty is to send the accused If possible to state prison." "Inexorable as ever." "I inexorable?" "Yes. You and I talked over these matters when *ve were but half our present ago. I am Margaret Cushman, Truesdalo Scott's wife." "Margaret!" "Then you spoke of an elasticity that you said I mistook for something worse." "I still am subject to such elasticity. I do not consider it my bounden duty to convict your husband, though the masses of the community think that it la. I was elected by them to carry o a t a certain programme.

It has been demonstrated again and again that early plowing is a moat effective means of destroying weedsTj especially the perennials which are propagated from roots that winter in the soil rather than from seeds. The wild artichoke has taken possession of many flalds during the summer where small grains were sowed last spring. TMs is due to the fact that water has covered these low lauds for days, or even weeks, in some localities, which drowned or rather smothered, the grain and the artichokes prospered under the conditions that prevailed. The wild morning glory and hinder weed are on the increase iu many localities. These are serious pests on rich soils that are subject to overflow or standiug water during the growing season. A cultivated crop will HffK GOOD FORTUN* CADET6 CU/VG 70 PRACTICE IN SPITE Of PEPPED WE K&lSl/PEd •' was a wonderful improvement in the , ,, , ^ < , , • « . . tv,i.. control these weed pests, but on ae vouutry Improve mroeandt ii. haIsn bsoemene sceocnttiionnuso utshliys ^ . . . . maintained, lu other sections the *eal of the farmer has slackened and t h e roads, while not as bad as before, a r e yet far from being what they *»hoi:Id and could be.

How about it? Where the road drag has been used according to directions, declares Wallace's Farmer, and where there have ' been intelligent road supervisors, the roads are to-day better than anybody imagined they possibly could he when this campaign was inaugurated. We can point out sections in the state of Iowa, where the roads have been so well dragged that only immediately after the very heaviest rains is there any rutting, even when passed over by .heavy loads. We demonstrated three years ago that if the poll tax—in states where a poll tax is levied -were spent in intelligent dragging of the country roads, and the ordinary taxes used for putting in permanent culverts and small bridges, the road problem would be practically solved so far as country roads are concerned, always excepting roads near the cities over which very heavy traffic is constantly pahsing. There some kind of hard surfacing would be required. We are satisfied that, for the ordinary country road in the corn belt there is nothing a s yet discovered for road maintaining purposes that is equal to the simple road drag, where the roads have been properly drained and graded by the use of the road grader. Convenient 8traw Shed. The following method for the construction of a convenient straw shed h a s been submitted: Posts of the desired height and at the proper distances apart should be set in the ground. On top of these may be nailed cross pieces or brush may be laid there. At threshing time the separator can be set so the straw will run on top of it.^anri fall around it, forming a windbreak to the north, east and west. This makes good shelter for rows, horses, hogs or sheep, Tt will p?fy tne farmer to build such a shed if ho needs more burn room count of wet weather it has been almost impossible to grow corn on low, ! poorly drained lands durlug the past j few years. The progressive farmer will make I a special effort to plow hjs fields • where weeds, such as we have men \ tioned, are at home, just as soon as ; the crop is taken from the land, says the Northwestern Agriculturist. If necessary mow and burn the weeds, however, a chain or wire attached to the plow beam and allowed to drag in the furrow will hold the growth down until it is all covered with earth from the plow. Many of the plows are nowprovided with attachments for this purpose. Don't allow the tops of the weeds to remain uncovered, because they will continue to grow and ripen their roots for winter. The special advantage gained from early plowing is that of destroying the j^rowth of the top before the roots, or tubers, are matured sufficiently to carry them through the winter. The wild artichoke is quite effectually destroyed where the land is plowed in August or early in September.

Ramsey wrote that the "new cadets sweep out the rooms and shovel the snow, but there Is no haalng." From this rather innocent beginning developed the practices that resulted in the cadet episode of a few days ago, when Col, Scott, the superintendent at West Point, in obedience to the mandate of congress as expressed In the law on hazing, sent to their homes eight cadets who had been convicted The accompanying illustration, re- o f hazing, there to await the action of produced from the Prairie Farmer, i t n e secretary of war, who, under the How It Can Be Made Without the Use of Braces. show;* a method of making a wire r » L ^•' tot'*) Gate for Wire Fence. fence gate without the use of braces.

Most good farm tool* if given good rare wilt last until they are loaned. A good way to furnish "molasses feeds" for the stock is to raise sorghirn for fodder. regulations, as prescribed by congress, had no alternative but to "summarily expel" the offenders. That the hazing which began with , the ludicrous acts that characterized It before the civil war grew Into the i tortures that, caused the congressional investigation of 1901 is a matter of . history. In the cadet days nf Lee, Grant, and Sheridan, and the other ; great, martial figures In American hisj tory, the plehes, of course, had their j stunts to do, but those acts were as mild as can be Imagined when com- ; pared with the modern Ways of doing things that were laid bare in the in- ; vestigations. Gen. John M. Schofleld Is on record as having told the cadet, corps, when j he was superintendent, at West Point, i that, if the acts that, the young men of that day were guilty of had occurred before the war there would have been bloodshed before such things would , have »>een submitted to. Other older officers have talked the same way, and they tell how, according to the tradition, T:lyases S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Phil Sheridan and Stonewall Jackson used to brace themselves as plehes walking about the plains, "with chin drawn in and shoulders thrown hack." Rut they didn't drink tabasco sauce, neither did they do eagles till they fell front exhaustion, as did young Douglas Ma.-^Arthur and Pegram of Virginia, he Uitter a son of the confederate officer of. the name name. Of course, in the history of West i Point hazing the case that stands out above all others, was the hazing of young Oscar Pooz of Pennsylvania, to the riajo.s of which treatment his family went before the congressional invsBttgai. ii.g committee and swoic was due the tuberculosis of the tin oat that eventually caused that poor young fellow's death. When Ftooz died the cause of death was given as throat tuberculosis, and on December 11, eight days after his death, the matter was brought up in congress, and after- the warmest sort of debate the congressional committee was appointed to investigate conditions at West Point. The father of Cadet Hooz fold the Brooke board that his son had refused to his dying day to disclose the, names of the cadets who had tormented him with such relentlessuess that the boy was finally compelled to send in his resignation as a c, det. He said that his son told him, iu addition to j the tabasco treatment, that one of the | things they did to him at West Point j Tvas to pull the bedclothes off of him at night and then pour melted wax on his bare body. His mother testified that her son wrote her that the cadets at West Point were "brutes and bill; lies." Hut the boards that investigated had their hands full getting the cadets to talk.( as is shown on every page of the records of the proceedings. Cadet after cadet would admit having been subjected to the melted wax treatment, and other innocent tortures, but they were loath to tell the name of the young man who melted the wax and did the pouring. "I put my finger In the sauce." said one cadet witness, "and was told to. lick it. I made an awful face, and licked the wrong finger." "I officiated at a rat funeral," said another cadet. "What is a rat funeral?" asked a member of the investigating board. "A .rather simple little affair," answered the cadet with a smile, "tad it didn't do anybody any harm. The rat was caught and killed, and we were ordered to give hira a funeral. The rodent was placed In a little box that looked like a coffin, and this box was placed on a tablo and surrounded by four lighted candles. Then a white towel arranged to look like a shroud was placed over the box, and the funeral ceremonies began. We read a few extracts from the 'black book,' (the cadet name of the book of regulations). Then we placed flowers on the casket. There was a song or two, and then the rat was taken away to be buried." The cadets admitted that they were compelled to crow like roosters; that they had to climb the ridge pole, hrace, exercise, one fellow admitting that he stood on his head in a bathtub full of water, and adding that It did not hurt him. The Investigation also made public for the first time what a cadet has to do to qualify, as the cadets put. it, for the mess hall. Here is how a cadet explained dining room qualifying: "First we were given a large dish full of prunes, the exact number of, which was 83, and we were required to eat all of them at. one sitting. Then we were given a howl of molasses and told to swallow that, after which we tried to cat six slices of dry bread The molasses test sometimes took twor" or three trials before we could accomplish \t"m Young Phil Sheridan had to ride, around the campus on a broomstick, the exercise being intended to remind those that, saw him that he wan a son of the commander made famous in "Sheridan's Ride."

Hadley murmured, his eyes following the stream of moonlight through the ©pen window and skyward to its £burc<>. ./'yea, I fan something of a poet—but with a* ptacticat b«ut." So saying, be turned And followed the luminous stream in It* path through the darkjaesa of the room. At ibe t*ble, polished tdp agMw }n the light, he selected a cigarette, stepped tfcen.to the buffet, a#d poured out a «i« of luratjdy. . .8UH without a'H$bt, he drew a-chalr to tie^ edge ^6f* tbe streewntag'tooonbeams, and seating himself, smiled Into the night, enjoying his moon-fan* cles. " His smoke rings shimmered In the glowing vapor, diaaolved lazily, and, like winding ribbons of silver, reeled sinuously into the darkness. "Not so much as the flutter of a leaf," he thought. "I can almost hear the flowing stream of moonlight. Silence seema to have drugged tht;—" He strained forward and listened. From some indeterminable part of the houfce came a low tapping, as of breeze-swayed bough on window pane. The sound continued only a moment, however, and Hadley's interest sank to a listless curiosity, and thence to forgetfulness. The moonbeams crept down from the buffet, crept past the table, past Hadley, through the open window, and up, slowly higher and higher, till the upper casement hid the last of them. A little longer the glow of the cigarette palpitated in the darkness, then flashed, comet-like, through the window; and Hadley, with a satisfied exhalation of the last puff of smoke, rose and stood a moment, refilling his lungs from the sweet night air. "What a night!" he thought. In a near-by chamber a door creaked, and quickly, noiselessly, he darted Into the folds of a heavy portiere. Peering cautiously from his hiding place, he smiled and exclaimed, silently: "By Jove! A burglar!" For a thin shaft of light, crossing the doorway leading into tbe hall, darted left, right, ;;p, down, like a furtive glance, then vanished. The pat, pat of a cat-like tread drew nearer and paused, and Hadley, with excited amusement, could almost feel the finger of light exploring his hiding place. A moment later he saw it on the wall near him, and then It darted through the doorway into the library, followed by the cat-like tread. Warily the watcher stepped from the curtain, the thick carpet yielding silently to the pressure of his feet. To Uue library door he aavanced, and, soarcely breathing, peered into the room, ready to draw back his bead if the flittiag light should turn toward his direction. Curiously he followed the shaft of light, which, like a long, slender and Incredibly nimble proboscis, guided by a dimly and grotesquely outlined monster, was exploring every nook and cranny of the large room. On a desk, which filled a corner with its oaken bulk, the light had settled; from top to bottom, from side to side, fingering drawer after drawer, it moved. Apparently interested, the monster behind the light advanced to the table and placed his keen-eyed as sistant on the top, and then followed I the low ring of metal on metal. The burglar turned with a snarl, his right hand flying toward a side pocket, but he stiffened suddenly into a rigid, crouching statue at sight of a revolver gleaming In the path of the light—a revolver, a hand, and part of an arm—back of which loomed a dim shadow. "Sorry, old majU" the taunting voice repeatedr"^ The revolver, hand and arm were unwavering—maddeningly so. "What the h—" "Hands In front—up!" The burglar's hands went up. "Now lower them just enough to take off your coat—l\e careful! There, toss it to mo. Now turn around —all the way. Good—no projections about, the hips. Sit down on that desk stool. And raised your mask a trifle—raise it, I say! — Horrors! Lower it—quick!"

Finding nothing more of interest in the coat, Hadley moved the bull'seye to the desk, compelling the burglar to shift his seat Into the glare. Carelessly he moved one of the photographs into the light, but at the first glance his indifference became eagerness, and with* a low exclamation of admiration, he caught up the card. "What a face! The rarest jewel of all!" The snarls and muttered oaths of • he burglar suddenly ceased, and Hadley glanced up strspiciously in time to motion warningry with the revolver. "Don't disturb me!" Again ha scanned the face in tbe photograph, intently following witk an artist's eye every delicate IIae of each beautiful feature. 'Beautiful! What wouldn't I give to see—" Hadley was interrupted by a sudden light that flooded the room with blinding brilliancy. Instinctively he glanced at the burglar. That roughmolded creature no longer snarled, he was breathless, and the tense muscles of his powerful body showed through his clothing. "Hob! — Brother, dear! Is that you?" Hadley clutched tho photograph and smiled expectantly. "Her voice! A proper voice for such loveliness! I must Ree her face!" The thought ended in a glow of admiration. In the hallway stood the girl, as little like the photograph, Hadley thought, as the round moon is like an electric light. She was clad in a loose dressing robe, as if she had just -risen from bed, sleep was still in her eyes. But, as Hadley looked, terror flashed into her face, and she took a faltering step . backward, her lips parted as if to scream. "Please do nr>t scream!" Hadley ad monished her. "There is no danger." He followed her terrified glance toward the burglar, and just, in time. "Stop!" he commanded. "Down!" as if speaking to a dog. "So! Now, don't move again—on your life!" Then, once more addressing the girl, and smiling reassuringly: "1 am an officer. 1 noticed this villain prowling periodic pains, backache, that bearing- down feeling, flatulency, indigestion, dizziness or nervous prostration* Why dont you try it ?

Jackson, Nebr., Sept. 1st, 1908 Friend Andrews:— Been so busy since reaching home, t h a t had no chance to thank everybody for the good times of Old Home Week. Personally speaking, my visit goes down as the best and happiest in Pinckney. I believe that each visitor enjoyed the reunion, a n d while the attendance could have been larger (especially sc had the 'near«bys' come) the enthusiasm and pleasure was all one could ask. I feel confident that the 1911 meeting will greatly exceed all others, in interest a n d attendance. T h e Old Home Week sentiment, is steadily growing t h r o u g h o u t the land, and should be fostered. It simply mean* keeping the good old town on the map of our affections, and with it, t h e friends of "Auld Lang Zyne" Let me make a suggestion, that will relieve the Pinckney ladies from a part of the stewing and brewing and cooking lor the crowd ot relatives and visitors thai swarm down upon them. Have the three churches unite in having one or more large dining halls, run not for profit but for common good, where three meals can be served throughout the reunion at about cost —say 10c per meal. In this manner, most of the food could be bought, the labor be divided and made easy for everybody and all, residents a n d visitors, eat at the dining halls, spend less time in cooking and more in visiting, I sincere'y hope That something of this kind will be evolved before 1911, to lessen the work tor t h e home ladies. Again, my sincere thanks to all who helped make tiie last reunion a success and j . y visit, a most pleasant one. Very truly yours, *? ' Ex President. _ Z , Farms Wanted.

Now the boy who finds a pirate's buried treasure will have to dispose of his Spanish gold at its bullion value. It may console him to know that for >onae years the doubloon has not been the precious thing it was. In 1730, and for a century after, it was worth eight dollars, "more or less;" but the < urrent doubloon is worth only about five dolllars. It has ceased to be coined in its native country, Spain, und now it will soon become unpopular in the West Indies, where it has ligured in a mixed circulation embracing British, Cniifd States and Spanish coinp. In the interest of romance, however, the name at least must survive.

And he's roasting in hell for it this minute," cried Mother Borton, savagely. "Hush!" I said. "You mustn't excite yourself." "There's maybe an hour left in me. VVa must hurry. Tell me about your trouble—at Livermore, was it?" said she. I gave her a brief account of the expedition and its outcome. Mother Borton listened eagerly, giving an occasional grunt of approval. ;; "Well, honey; I was some good to ye, after all," wa3 her comment. "Indeed, yes." "And you had a closer shave for your life than you think," she continued. "Tom Terrill swore he'd kill ye, and it's one of the miracles, sure, that he didn't." "Well, Mother Borton, Tom Terr-ill's laid up in Livermore with a broken head, and I'm ' safe here With you, ready to serve you in any way that a nr.un may." "Safe—safe?" mused Mother Borton, an absent look coming over her skinny features, as though her mind wandered. Then she turned to me impressively. "You'll never be aafe till you change yofur work and your name. You've shut your ears to my words while I'm alive, but maybe you'll think of 'em when.I'm, in my coffin. Il(te,ll you now, boy, there's murder and death before you. Do.you hear? Murder and death." She sank back on her pillow and gazed at me with a wearied light in her eyes and a sibyl look on her face. "I think I understand," I said gently. "I have faced them and I ought to know them." "Then you'll—you'll quit yoav job —you'll be yourself?" "I can not. 1 must go on.' "And why?" "My friend—his work—hi3 murderer." "Have you got the man who murdered Henry Wilton'?" "No." "Have you got a man who will give a word against—against—you know who?" "I have not a scrap of evidence against any one but the testimony of my own eyes," I was compelled to confess. "And you can't use it—you dare not j use it. Now I'll tell you, dearie, I know the man as killed Henry Wilton." "Who was it?" I cried, startled into eagerness. "It was Black Dick—the cursed scoundrel thrit's done for me. Oh!" she groaa-ed in pain. "Maybe Black Dick struck the blow, but X know the man that stood behind him, and paid him, and protected him, and I'll see him on the gallows before I die." "Hush." cried Mother Borton trembling. "If he should hear you! Your throat will be cut yet, dearie, and I'm to blame. Drop it, dearie, drop it. The boy is nothing to you. Leave him go. Take your own name and get away. This is no place for you. When I'm gone there will be no one to warn ye. You'll be killed. You'll b? killed." Then she moaned, but whether from pain of body or mind I could not Kuess. "Never .yen fear. I'll take care of myself," I said cheerily. She tookjed at me mournfully. "I am killed for ye, dearie." I started, shocked at this new.-;. "There," she continued slowly. "I didn't m e a n , to let yon know. Out they thought. I had hold ye." "Then I have two reasons instead of ona for holding to my task," I slid solemnly. "I have two friends to avenge." "You'll make the third yourself," groaned Mother Borton, ''unless they put a knife into Barkhouse first, and then you'll be the fonrth bellk«." "Barkhouse—do you know where he Is?" "He's in the Den—on Davis street, you know. I was near forgetting to tell ye. Send your men to get bim tonight, fur he's hurt and like to die. They may nave to right. No—duu't leave me now." "I wasn't goiug to leave you." Mother Borton put uer hand to her throat as though she choked, and was silent for a moment. Then she continued: "i'll be to blume if I don't tell you 1 must tell you. Are you listeniug'!" Her voice came thick and strange, and her eyes wandered anxiously about, searching the heavy shadows with a look of growing fear. "I am listening," 1 replied. "Yo« must know—you must- know ~r-i must tell you. The iwy- the worn au i s - " On a sudden Mother Bolton sat bolt upright in bed, aud a shriek, so long, so shrill, so freighted with terror, came from her lips that 1 shrank from her and trembled, faiut with the horror of the place. "They come—there, they come!" she cried, and throwing up her arms she tell back on the bed. The candle shot up into flame, sputtered an instant and was gone. And I was alone with the d a r k n e s s a n d the dead. CHAPTER XXVII. A Link in the Chain. I sprang to my feet. But before 1 had covered the distance to the door, it was flung open and Corson stood on the threshold. At t h e darkness lie wavered and cried: "What's th« matter here?" "She is dead."' ; I shuddered as A stood beside him, and brought the lamp from the bracket in the hall. Mother Borton lay back staring affrlghtedly at the mystic being who had ym. )\K'f**v 'vc*/; - T*VUW.JW>.*W*J come for her, but settled into peace as I closed her eyes and composed her limbs. "She was a rare old bird," said Corson when I had done, "but there was some good in her, after all." "She has beam a good friend to me," I said, and we called a servant from below and left the grewsoBje room to his guardianship. "And now, there's another little job to be done. There's one of my men a prisoner down o n i ) a v i s street. I must get him out." "I'm with you, sor." said Corson heartily. "I'm hopln' there's some he3ds to be cracked." I had not counted on the policeman's aid, but I was thankful to accept the honest offer. In the restaurant I found five of my men, and with this force I thought, that I might safely attempt an assault on the Den. The Den was a low, two-story building of brick, with a warehouse below, and the quarters of the enemy, approached by a narrow stairway above. "Step quietly," I cautioned my men, as we neared the dark and forbidding entrance, »"Keep close to the shadow of the buildings. Our best chance is in a surprise." There was no guard at the door that stood open to the street, and we halted a moment, before it to make sure of our plana. "It's a bad hole," whispered Corson. "A fine p'ftc? for an ambush," I returned dubiously. "Well, there's no help for it," said the policeman. "Come o n ! " And drawing his club and revolver he stole noiselessly up the stairs. We were not two-thirds the way up the flight before a voice shot out of the darkness. "Who's there?" There was no more need for silence, and Corson and I reached the landing just as a door opened that let the light stream from within. Two men had sprung to the doorway and another corrld he seen faintly outlined in the dark hall. The two men jumped back into the room and tried to close the door, but I was upon them before they could swing it shut. Four of my men had follored me close, and with a f«w V blows *1vf«i p a d ;»k*n t h e two w*n pri»oae?rj, ._ ^ ' " 1 % rthemjfajst/'i I ordered.', MM pastquffi to. M» buwCorsou fared.

I asked- "Find him!" was the dettjiui reply. We began the search, open lug on* room after another. Some were sleep iag rooms, some th« meetlug rooms while the one we had first eutered a p peared to be the guarurooiu. Hello! What's this?" exclaimed Corssn, lapping an iron door, such as clones a warehouse against lire. "It's locked, sure enough," said Owens, after trial. I t must be the place we are look iug for," I said. "Search those men tor keys." The search was without, result. "It's a sledge we tutut get," said Owens, starting to look about for one. "Hould on," said Coraon, "I was uear rorgetting. I've got a master-key that fits most of these locks. It'i> handy fur closing up a Warehouse w ) e n some clenk with his wits a-wandeiing forgits bis job. So like enough it's good at unlocking." It neede^l a little etuueing, but the bolt at lastv slld back and, the heavy door swun* op*n. The room waB furnished with a large tabla, a big desk and a dozen chairs, which sprang out of t|p3 darkness as 1 struck a match and lit the gas. It was evidently Xh« council room af the enemy. "This is illigant," said the policeman, looking around with approval; "but your man Isn't here, I'd say." "Well, it looks as though there might be something here of interest," I replied, seizing eagerly upon the papers that lay scattered about upon the desk. "Look In the other room while I run through these." A rude diagram on the topmost paper caught my eye. It represented a road branching thrice. On the third branch was a cross, and then at iptervals 'fottr crosses, as if to mark some features of the landscape. Underneath was written: "From B—follow 1½ m. Take third road—3 or 5." The paper bore date of that day, and I guessed that it meant to show the way to the supposed hiding-place of the boy. Then, as I looked again, the words and lines touched a cord of memory. Something I had seen or known befor was vaguely suggested. I groped in the obscurity for a moment, vainly reaching for the phantom that danced Just beyond the grasp of my mental fingers. There was no time to lose in speculating, and I turned to the work that pressed before us. But as I thrust the papers into my pocket to resume the search for Barkhouae, the elusive, memory flashed on me. The diagram of the enemy recalled the single slip of paper T had found in the pocket of Henry Wilton's coat on the fatal night of my arrival. I had kept it always with me, for it was the sole memorandum left by him of the business that had brought^ him to J>«3 death. I brought it out and placed it sidT by side with the map I had before mt. The resemblance was less close than 1 had thought, yet all the main features were the same. There was the road branching thrice; a cross in both marked the junction of the third road as though it gave sign of a building or some natural landmark; and the other features were indicated in the same order. No—there was a difference in this point; there were five crosses on the third road in the enemy's diagram, while there were but four in mine. (TO BR CONTINUED.) WILLIAM KNEW H13 FAULT. / .

McCJurt*.] I was male of the American brig Homer Lee, coumutudwi by Captain bauuaers, and we had been lying la the pool at Loudon for forty days to get a cargo for some port In the United Stales. The captain was the sole owner of the brig, and as he was not a wealthy iiiuu und an the preceding voyages had been without profit It began to look u* if It were the end of his mercantile career. On the fortieth day, wHeu things seemed to have reached their worbt, a waleruiuu row ed a gentleman out to the cruft. We spotted the man to be u gentleman and some one not at all interested In shipping as soon us he came aboard. 1 believe to this day that he was a man of title and wealth, though I haven't the faintest idea of his name. He asked to look the cruft over, und our first Idea was that he was looking to buy a ship. The Lee had a flue cabin und utaterooms, having once been a passenger packet to South American ports, and after an investigation the stranger, who guve tfce name of Montgomery und who wus a man about forty years old, announced himself as satisfied and then desired to charter the brig for New York. The story he told was thai his wife waa In poor health and thaT the doctor had recommended a slow s<j§ voyage. H e did not want other passengers aboard, nor did he want to wait for cargo. H e offered a much higher price for the passage of the two than we could have got from an average cargo and would furnish all the cabin stores In addition. One of the stipulations made was ftat we were to engage a cook above tbe ordinary and carry a steward. Another was that the two were to dine by themselves. We began engaging a crew and taking stores aboard the next day, and in four days we were ready. No merchantman sailing .he seas ever took such cabin stores aboard The wine* alone would have lasted half a dozen people for a voyage of sixty days, while the provisions were w h a t any rich man would have ordered for his pantry. Montgomery himself came Aboard at least an hour before the lady did. She waited for darkness, a n d as •oon as ever her feet touched the deck • h e went to the cabin, and a tug took our line and started down the river. It was at breakfast next morning, and we were well down the channel and had cast off the tug, when there was a row In the cabin. We could catch I nothing that Montgomery said, but the j voice of the lady could be heard J through the open skylight to the foremast. She surely had a tongue on her. As a matter of fact, she swore like a I trooper, and the man could not quiet her. She called him a rascal, a rogue, a liar and many other things and ended up by throwing crockery at him. The captain and I heard it all and were amazed. For a sick wife the lady seemed very vigorous. It was not for us to Interfere, however. In about half an hour Montgomery came on deck for a smoke and a promenade. H e seemed j to think some explanation due, and he said that his wife was a quick tempered woman and was blaming him J that mall hnd not been provided for her. She did not show herself during the day, and we heard no more rows. That night we had something of a gale that remained with us for three dnys and brought her seasickness, and none ; of us heard anything from her. Montgomery attended her and had very little to Hay. It was on the fifth morning after leaving London and we were well out on the Atlantic when Captain Saunders was called into the cabin by the : woman. To his great surprise, he found her a person at least fifty 3*ear.s old. She was not even commonly good looking. On the contrary, she would have been called homely anywhere, and the wrinkles in her face betrayed her age. She began abusing Montgomery as If he had been a pickpocket. She called him hard names, and she i swore. She declared that she would ! go no farther in his company and ! must be transferred to the first craft bound for London. Montgomery at first tried to soothe her, but she yelled j and screamed and finally would have ; used her nails on his face had not the captain interposed. The woman dei nied that shi> was his ylfe and said 1 that he had grossly deceived her into j the situation, and she offered Captain ; Saunders $100 to transfer her t h a t day. Montgomery finally told her to go if she so desired, and that settled It. Within an hour we raised a lumber vessel coming from the American coast. The woman was informed aa to what sort of craft It was and that the accommodations would be very meager, but she insisted on being transferred. She offered the other captain $100 to receive her and was duly landed on the lumber laden deck*. Neither she nor Montgomery had had a word in farewell. Of all ber bag* gage she would take only one single tiunk, telling Captain Saunders t h a t bs> could have the rest for bis wife. Montgomery made no explanation* after tbe shins Darted. Indeed. >«- did uoi seem u* u me.v wus auycuing ue fould say. lie simply read, smoked itnd walked ine decks, and three days later he wus also transferred In going he presented the captain with a rrunjcrul of tine clothing and all the cabin stores. We had been paid u good price for the run, and with these things on top of it the Lee made one L>£ the must prosperous runs in ber history. As to the elopement, for I feel sure that It wus oue, I never beard further. I was a t pains to keep track of the London papers for weeks ifterward. bat tbey contained no mention of it. M. QUAD. [Original^ I met Miss Evelyn Brigga at a sociable of our church during t h e winter, and it occurred to me t h a t she was the girl I had been looking for. She didn't give me any encouragement; but, you know, "faint heart ne'er won fair lady,"* and 1 concluded when the spring came on to go down to the Briggs' country place and call on her. I sent up my curd, and she obliged me to wait some time before she made her appearance, but when sue did she wus quite cordial. 1 took courage at this, because, you see, 1 hudn't hud an invitation. Besides, Miss Briggs' fathei is a iuwyer, and a well to do lawyer, standing high in his profession, while I urn foreman in a children's waist factory. Besides, Miss Briggs is highly educated und Intellectual, while I don't make any pretense at that sort of thing. I know my business, and that's all I want to know. I c a n take hold of a sewing machine and do more work on it in a given time t h a n any trio of operators in my d e p a r t m e n t Well, we hadn't been chatting but a few minutes when Miss Briggs looked absorbed in something passing In her mind. Presently she said: "Mr. Beadle, I'm in a peck of trouble. Next week we're to have the house full of guests, and when we c a m e down this summer we found the rats had got Into our linen closet and made havoc of our sheets and pillowcases. We have the material for n e w ones, but the woman we expected to make them op has disappointed us. I was trying to do some of the work when you called, but there's something the matter with our sewing mac bine. I wonder if you could fix it for me." "I should smile," I said, pleased to have an opportunity to be of service; "that's just in my line. There Isn't a part of a sewing machine that X don't know all a b o u t I can put your machine In order and then make her bum." She took me upstairs to a sewing room. There was a machine a t one end of it, and tbe rest of t b e room was taken up with white goods. It looked to me as If there were a thousand yards. I sat down at the machine and started it up. It went very slick. "Why, the machine's all r i g h t " I said. "Is it? Well, you might try it on one of these pillowcases." She handed me the top one on a big pile, and In a few mlnutos I had finished it. She moved the pile up where I could reach it and said: "I must run downstairs for a Httlo while. Mother's not well, and I have to go into her room occasionally to sec that she doesn't wrant for anything." She gave me an encouraging smile and went out. I looked around at the piles of cotton and linen nil ready to be sewed and remembered the princess to whom the bad fairy gave impossible tasks. I had often boasted of my practical knowledge of my business and the amount of work I can d o in a given time, but I had never calculated on anything like this. I thought I would be good natnred about it a n d let Miss Briggs see by the time she came back how many pillowcases I could turn out. She didn't come back. I worked about an hour when, getting tired, I concluded to make an excuse to stop. I broke the needle. Qolng downstairs, I met Miss Briggs coming up. I told her why I had to stop, b u t she said there was no need to give u p for a little things like that, since there were plenty of needles in the house. Sho got me another. I put it in and went to work again reluctantly. Miss Briggs stayed with me a little while, chatting pleasantly, and I was getting satisfied with my work when her mother called her, nnd she skipped out again. I expected Rhe'd be back soon, bnt she didn't come. An hour passed, and I began to think up another excuse for stopping ^fork. This time I concluded to break something that couldn't be fixed. I took a stout brass rod out of a window curtain and, inserting It in the curved arm that holds tbe needle, broke it off. Then I sat still awhile. I knew when Mhw Briggs heard the machine stop she'd ©ome tip, and she did. When she saw the damage that had been done she looked grave for awhile. Then she smiled. I looked ruefully at t h e broken arm. "Sorry," I said. "There's no way of repairing that damage. I'm afraid Ican't help you any more this afternoon. Hhem most bnv*» been n weak nlace in tne arm. i ITOII I nite nils kind or machine anywuy. \ \ > never use It r the* factory." "Don't disturb yourself in the least,"' bhe replied mutably " B I T I'm iifrnhl I'll have to ask you to excuse me, fnr mother Is worse and needs my tilicn tlon every minute." We walked out vt the ruuiu TunelLier and downstairs. AT the door she nuid: "(Jootlby, Vr. Briggs. I'm ev»*r »0 much obliged for your kind effort to help us out. und I've no doubt you'd huve done a lot more if tbe muchine hadn't given out." "I could have tleuued out all the work In the room before 0 o'clock," 1 suld In u disappointed tone. "Well, don't worry. When you come again we'll have something else for you." "Do," 1 replied. "I'll show you w h a t I can do." "I've been thinking what 1 shall do.to follow up my affair. I've placed Miss Briggs under u slight obligation In the work I did, but women are ungrateful creatures. And if I go ugaiu she'll feel t h a t she must give me another Job by which I can show what I can do. I f s a puzzler."

When the first suspension bridge was thrown over Niagara there was a great and tumultuous opening ceremony, such as the Americans Jove, and many of the great ones of the United States assembled to do honor to the occasion, and among them was Roscoe Conkling. Conkling was one of the most brilliant public men whom America has produced— a man of commanding, even beautiful, presence and of perhaps unparalleled vanity. He had been called (by an opponent) a human peacock. After the ceremonies attending the opening of the bridge had been concluded Conkling, with many others, was a t the railway station waiting to depart; but, though others were there, he did not mingle with them, but strutted and plumed himself for their benefit, posing that they might get the full effect of all his majesty. One of the station porters was so impressed that, stepping up to another who was hurrying by trundling a load of luggage, he jerked his thumb iii Conkling's direction and— "Who's that feller?" he asked. "Is he the man as built the bridge?" The other studied the great man a moment. "Thunder! No," said he. "He's the man as made the falls."—H. Perry Robinson in Putnam's Magasiae.

[Orttfiuai.] I aiet uoy old friend Billy Sweouer che uther day, whutn I hadn't B***IJ for aeverul yeurs. "Hello, Biliy," I wtkt "Tti© Ut«t Uiiie J tuiw you you were Just going liito the detective business. I BupiwHe by this time you can tell by the kind of a uat u man weara whether lie ia iuuocetit or guilty." Billy auiiled—a rather ulckly Buiile, J thought aud told tuu the followlug atory; "Yea, 1 weut iuio the detective bustue «s aud got a position with a leading agency, t reported a t the office every day foa a week before I was given a case. Then a man whom the police were looklag fur had beeu captured and In the hope of light treatment bad volunteered Hotue information, l i e had a pal who waB to rob a country place near the city where there waa a lot ot fine jewelry. The name of the family to be robbed was Wetmore. The robbing was to be perpetrated on a certain night at a certain hour. The chief told me that this was a simple case suitable for a beginner and directed me to trap tLe burglars. "Taking a man In plain clothes with me, 1 went to the house designated and lay in waiting behind a hedge. The hour given me was 11 p. in\, but that hour came and passed without any developments. It was nearly 12, when I was about to give up the job, that a carriage turned in from the road, drove up the entrance way and stopped under the porte-cochere. 1 couldn't see how this could have anything to do with a robbery, but determined, of course, to wait and see. Tom Green, the man I had with me, who had been long connected with the agency for subordinate work, seemed to think that the carriage had a great deal to do with it, but I didn't pay much attention to his opinion. "The carriage had hardly got into position when a man a n d a woman, the man carrying a suit case, came out of the house, went to the carriage, got In and were driven awayy. They passed by where we were crouching, and both of us caught on behind. I had consulted a time table and, knowing that a train was due at the station in a few minutes, felt sure they would go there. And BO they did. At the station I surprised the man by handing him out of the carriage and surprised him still more by clapping a pair of bracelets on his wrist. Green took care of the woman, putting another pair on her. There H e r e protestations usual In such cases, but I was rather surprised when the girl turned upon the man angrily and said: " 'You have led me into some trap. I shall be disgraced for life. You know I protested against this elopement. Father, mother, everybody, warnjed me against you.' " 'Never fear, sweetheart,' the man replied. 'These gentlemen have made some kind of a mistake. But when they are convinced they will not trouble us.' "Then, turning to me, he told me that if their elopement were discovered it would lead to disastrous results; that ho hadn't time to explain and implored me not to detain them. Just then a man, who said he was the station master, came up to us and asked what was the matter. When informed he asked me what place I had been totd would be robbed. I told him the name was Wetmore. 'I reckon you're mixed, my good man,' he said, 'I know this young lady to be Miss Ditmar. I don't know the gentleman's name, but he's been going back and forth to the city with her for a long while' " 'Where is the Wetmore place?' I asked. " 'Over there,' pointing In a different direction from the place I had watched. "Just then there was a locomotive whistle that indicated the approach of the train the two had come to the station to take. The girl fell on her knees before me, took my hands, covered them with tears and kisses and implored me not to brfhg on a complication that would ruin her whole life. 'It will go hard enough with me for the elopement,' she said, 'but if 1 am arrested father will kill me.* "Meanwhile the train rolled up to the station. It was a trying time for me. I whispered to Green, asking him what he thought nbout the matter. He replied that he thought it w a s a game. Just then the conductor of the train cried "All aboard!' and the girl went into hysterics. H e r moans were too much for me. I unclasped her nippers and those of the man. They rushed, with the stilt case, to the train and were helped on as it moved o u t "Green deserted me, Jumping on the II train. I didn't want to do tfcat because It w a s going from the city, and I wanted to go t o the city. I felt Ttry uncomfortable, I can assure you. How ever, I took thf next train b a d ; and reported what 1 had done. The chief heard me through, tht^i harder! me a ! telo^rrtm fnrv, titven, v.rnti_;.r that b?

They were all urnHtmi, $20,<HX) worth of jew i l l / recovered and the three sent to d<> tba« behind bars. ••The chief laughed at me heartily, but attributed my failure to inexperience. B e offered to give me another trial, but I was so discomfited that I gave Op Che business a n d went into another CHAUNCEY WAKDWBLL. How to Get Strong P. J . Daly, of 1247 W.

Living his own life in hi* own re served way, cultured and studious, troubling no one, ofTending none; doubly liberal in bis expenditures and never pressed for means, steadfast in his chosen eccentricity—if such it were —and in hia face and manner no questioning doubt of himself, perhaps in time Henry Hobart had been accepted like any other man, the enrious had 1 cPaserl to be curious, and hia mysteri- [ ons character, without any further or ! deeper scrutiny, had become one of tho 1 mysteries of human life, had not the j.man been suddenly struck down as by 1 an invisible hand and the appalling mystery of his death heightened tenfold the mystery of his life. j On a Tuesday morning, at \T, mln 1 utes of ten o'clock, an attendant was I summoned by the call-bell to room 63 of the Snmnef fcostod,.'and upon j oheying the call* found Henry Hobart struggling in the throes of a strange and unaatural ..death.

And the mau must die— die as he had died! They looked on, and waited, Then the end came, and Dr. Thiel, arising, said: "He id dead!" He had uttered those words once before and under like conditions!. Aud the guests and the servants bpoke together In horrified wnispers, as they had done before; then the assembly broke up and the hall way was cleared as before,! There w«N something immeasurably painful about it all, to live a thing over iu that frightful way, to be, as it were, mere puppets at a show, and one day to be to auother day as a inflection id a mirror. For a time thot>e who had witnessed both tragedies seemed to live in a kind of trance, and moved about and whispered together like beings In j a dream; but Anally the natural re- i asserted itself, and theu curiosity j seized them. | What was the meaning of it? Henry Hobart had died and his body had been ; . mntilated by tho surgeon's knife. How. j Hhen, had he died a second time and ! his body shown no marks of the knife? ' H a d they been deceived by a ghost'.'' No; there in room 63 lay the dead j man—flesh and blood—and seven blocks away, resting on a marble slab, j with the water dripping continually j on it, lay the other body of Henry j Hobart—The Man Who Did Things Twice. A sudden doubt came into the mind : of Dr. Thiel. a misgiving that frightened him. Waa that other body—that autopsy-marred body—still resting quietly on its slab at the morgue? Or— Hastily quitting the hotel, he hurried towards the morgue, and suddenly came up against an insnrmount- j able blank wall of mystery. The j morgue was a heap of charred ruln'l and smoldering, steaming ashes, and if the autopsy-marred body of Henry Hobart had been lying on its slab dnr-j ing the period of the Are, then it had^ been totally consumed, and that otheri body up at the hotel was that of a sec-J ond Henry Hobart; but, if the autopsy- marred body of Henry Hobart had not been lying quietly on its slab dur- j ing the raging of the Are, then, in God's name, who and what was be who had died up at the Sumner house that , morning? i Colors of Lakes. Some lakes are distinctly blue; oth era present various shades of green, j so that in some cases they are hardly distinguishable from their level, grasscovered banks; a few are almost black.

In tbe matter of description th? enemy had the advantage, alight as it was. "Third road—cockeyed barn—iron cow," and the confused jumble of drunken letters and figures that Henry bad written—I could make nothing of these. "From B—follow 1¼ m. Take third road—3 or 5"—this was at least half-intelligible Then it came to me like a b l o w - was thi« the mysterious key" that the Unknown had demanded of me in her letter of this morning? I was roused from my reverie of fears by confused shouts from down the hail, and sprang hastily to the door, with the thought that the forces of the enemy were upon us. "Here he is! they've found him,'' cried an excited voice. "Yes, air! here he comes!" It was truly the stalwart guard; but two days had made a sad change in 'him. With head bound in a bloody rag} and face of a waxy yellow hue, he staggered limply out of one of the rear toons between Corson and Owens. Barkhouse was soon propped up en the lounge>ta the guardroom, and wiU a few sip* of whisky and a fresh band age*began to look like a more hopeful' case. "Now we must get ont of here," 1 said. "Take turns by twos in helping Barkhouse. We had better not risk staying here." "Right," said Corson; "and now we'H just take these throe beauties along to the station." The men swore at this, but as their hands were bound behind them, and Corjotu.walked with his clnh in one hand .ajsi hte pistol la the other* they tod? tftfthl tnardh^at ctomi-hand and U s rest of ut slowly followed.

When we reaebed the entrance £Oj our quarters on Montgomery street [he j*aln^'hnd oueejiupje begun tu fall, gentry j fowl - but thfcj gusts uf damp wind Sktua 'the soutib promised more and worse to follow. "A message for you, Air Wiltonfsaid a voice suddenly from the recess uf the doorway. "(Jive it to me," 1 said. A slip of ,paper was thrust into my. hand, and I passed up the stairs. "I'll wait for you," said the messenger, and at the first gas jet that burned at the head ot the stairs 1 stupped to read the address... It was in the hand of the Unknown, and my fatigue and indifference were gone In a moment. 1 trembled ad i tore open the envelope and read: "Follow the bearer or this note at 12:30. Come alone and armed- It is important." There was no( signature. If it meant anything it meant that I w«&,to meet the l)afcn.ywa, and perhaps to search the heart of the mystery, I had been heavy with fatigue and drowey with want of sleep, but'at this* thought tbe energies of life were once more fresh within me. The men bad waited a minute for irie as i read the note. "Go to your room* and get some, rest, "I said. "J am called away. Trent will be in charge, and I will send word to him if I weed any of you." They looked at me in blank protest. "You're not going alone, sir'.'" cried Owens in a tone of alarm. * "Oh, no. But I shall not need a guard.'* I hoped heartily that I did not. \ The meii shook their heads doubtfully, and I continued: "Corson will be down from the Central station in 15 or 20 minutes. .Hist tell him I've been sent for and to come to-morrow if he can make It in his way." And bidding them good night I ran hastily down the stairs before any of the men could frame his protest into words. "Are you ready, sir?" asked the-meg' senger. "it is close on half-past twelve," I answered. "Where is she?" "It's not far away," said my guide evasively. ( understood the danger of speech and did not press tor an answer. We plunge' down Montgomery street in the teeth of- the wind' that dashed the spray In our faces at one moment, lulled an instant the better to deceive'the unwary and then leaped at us from behind corners with the im: petuous rush of some great animal that turned to vapor as it reached us. The street was dark except for the newspaper offices, which glowed bright with lights on both sides of the way, busy with the only signs of life ihat the storm and the midnight hour had left. With the lighted buildings behind us we turned down California street. Half-way down (he block, in front of the Merchants' Exchange, stood a hack. At the sight my heart beat fast and my breath came quick. As we neared the hack my guide gave a short, suppressed whistle, and passing before me. flung open the door to the vehicle and motioned me to enter. I had gone too far to retreat and stepped into the hack. Instead of following, the guide closed the door gently; I heard him mount the seat with the driver, and in a moment we were in motion. Was I alone? I had expected to find the Unknown, but the dark Interior gave no sign of a companion. A slight movement made me certain that some one sat in the father corner of the carriage. The situation became a little embarrassing. Was it my place to speak first? I wondered. At last I could endure the silence no longer. "Quite an unpleagaat evening," I remarked politely. There was a rustle of movement, the sound of a short gasp, and a soft, mournful voice broke on my ear. "Mr. Dudley—can you forgive me?' The astonishment f felt to hear my own name once more—the name that seemed now to belong to a former state of existence—was swallowed np as the magnetic tones carried theft* revelation to my mind. I was stricken dumb for a moment at the discovery they had bronffht. Then I gasped: "Mrs. Knapp!" "Yes. Mrs. Knapp," she said with a mournful laugh. '"Did you never suspect?" I was lost in wonder and confusion, and even yet could not understand. "What brings you , out In this stonrt^* t asked, jcompletely myatifled. "I though! I was to meet another per* son *" ".indeed?" said Mrs. Knapp, with a spark of animation. "Well, 1 am the other persotr." "Yon!" 1 exclaimed af last. . " A f you the protector of the boy? The rmploypr—•" Then T stopped, the tangle in mind beginning to straighten out. "I am she," said Mrs. Knapp gently. "Therf," I crfed, "who Is he* what is he"1 what Is the whole dreadful affair about? and what—" , < ftrs.. Knapp interrupted me. " F i s t tell me what bag Lieooiue of Henry WUtlnV" she said with sorrow in her voice. The dreadful scene in the alley flashed before tny mind. "He is dead." "Dead! And how?' "Murdered." "1 feared so—I was certain, or he would have let me know. You have much to tell me. But first, did he leave no papers iu your hands?" 1 brought out the slip that bore the blind diagram and the blinder description that accompanied it. Nothing could be made of it in the darkness, so 1 described it as well as I con Id. "We are on the right: track." bald Mrs. Knapp. "Oh, why didn't I have that yesterday? But here we are at the wharf." My guide was before us, and we followed him down the pier, struggling against the .gusts. "Do we cross the bay?" 1 asked, as Mrs. Knapp clung to my arm. "It's not safe for yub in a small boat." "There's a. tug waiting for us," Mrs. Knapp explained. A moment later we saw its lights, and the fire of its engine room shot a cheerful glow into the storm. The MtHe vessel swung uneasily at its berth as We made our way aboard, and with shouts of men and clang of bells it was soon tossing on the dark Waters of the bay. The cabin of the tug was fitted with a shelf-table, and over it swung a lamp of brass that gave a dim light to the little room. Mrs. Knapp seated warn5AHF.\Wlt>p.A->*rA':r. ?.vtf^^.yur herself here, spread out the paper 1 had given her and studied the diagram and the Jumble of letters with anxious attention. "It ia the same," she said at last; "in part, at least." "The same as what?" I asked. "As the one I got word of to-night, you know," stare replied. "But," she continued, this gives a different place. I was to go to the cross-road here"—Indicating the mark at the last branch. "I'm glad to hear that,"' said I. taking out the diagram I had found in the citadel of the enemy. "This seems to point to a different place, too, and I really hope that the gentleman who drew this map is a good way off from the truth." "Where did you get this?" exclaimed Mrs. Knapp. I described the circumstances in as few words as I could command. "They are ahead of us." she said in alarm. "They have started first. I suppose," was my suggestion. And they have the right road." "Then our only hope is that they may not know the right place." "God grant it," said Mrs. Knapp. She was silent for a few minutes, and I saw that her eyes were filled with tears*. Then she said. "Now tell me about Henry Wilton—how he died and when." I told the tale as it had happened. and as I told it I read in the face hefore me the varying emotions of alarm, horror and grief ^hat were stirred by Its incidents.. . But one thing I could not tell her. The wolf-face I had seen in the lantern flash in the alley 1 could not name nor describe to the wife of Doddridge Knapp. Mrs. Knapp bowed her heart in deep, gloomy thought. "I feareft it, yet he would not listen fro my Vaxnrags',** she murmured. 'He would work his own way." Then she looked me stuiiienly straight in the face. "And why did you take his place, his name? Why did you try ro do his work when you had seen the dreadful end to which it had brought him*" I confessed that it was half through the insistence of Detective Coognn that I was Henry Wilton, hMf through the course of events that seemed" to make it the easiest roar! to reach the vengeance that I had vowed to bring the murderer of my friend. 'You are bent on avenging him?" asked Mrs. Knapp thoughtfullv "1 have promised it. ' "I have marveled at you," *aid Mrs. Kraip after; a^ pause.

"You certainly succeeded in concealing any surprise you rnay have felt," I said. "You are a belter actor than I." Mrs. Kuapp smiled. "It was more than surprise--It was consternation," she said. "1 had been anxious at receiving no word from Henry. I suppose you got my uotea. And when 1 .saw you I was torn with doubts, wondering whether anythiug had happened to Henry." "1 didn't suppose r was quite so poor an liuposter," I said apologetically, with a qualm at the word. "Though J did get some hint of It," I added, with a painful recollection of the candid statement of opinion I had received from the daughter of the bouse. "Oh, you did very well," said Mrs. Knapp kindty. "but no one could have been successful in that house. Luella was quite, outraged over It, but I managed to rp*h&t her." "I hop*» Miss Knepp has not retained the unfavorable impressions of —er-L" I stammered in much confusion. Mrs. Knapp gave me a keen glance. "You kuow she has not," ahe said. "Well," continued Mrs. Knapp, "when i saw you and guessed that j something had happened to Henry '• Wilton, and found that you knew little I of what wa.; going on, I changed the plan of campaign.

"but T thought until the Livermore trip that you could serve me best as you were doing." "It was blind work."-1 said. "It was blind enough for you, not fQr me. I ,v\as deceived in one thing, however; I thought that you had no papers—nothing from Henry that could help or hurt. The first night you came to us I had Henry's room thoroughly searched." "Oh, I was indebted to you for that attention," I exclaimed. "I gave our friends of the other house the credit." Mrs. Knapp smiled again. "J. thought it necessary, it was the : chance that you did not sleep there j that night that kept thi-» paper out of my hands weeks ago" .

Deliattre. j Among the most receol finds which j have been made at Carthage by the Rev. P. Delattre are a number of | sarcophagi which present a great interest. In many of these, says the j Scientific American, the top cover is \ sculptured in relief with a figure of life size, carved out of marble and painted In many colors. One very fine specimen was found in the necropolis at a depth of 27* feet. On the cover is a figure of a woman executed in the Greek style, with a long garment reaching the ankles and a veil covering the head. Great technical skill is shown in treating the different tissues. The flesh parts are well polished, and the eyes are painted, giving a lifelike aspect. The hair is glMed. Inside tho sarcophagus were found the remains of the person, with some bronze objects. A second sarcophagus was that of a person supposed to he a priest. The sculptured figure has abundant hair and a curling beard. It wears a long robe with short sleeve. Here also the eyes are painted, and are very expressive. Among the remains are a massive sold ring with a portrait similar to the above, also three other gold rings, amulets, etc. One of the most recent finds w3a a sarcophagus with the sculptured figure of a woman wearing a long tunic of fine wool of a pinkish hue. with a gilded belt passing under the breast. The lower part of the body is enveloped in what appears to be two great vnltures' wings, according to the Egyptian style. The whole figure bears traces of painting and gilding. As to the remains, they are imbedded in a resinous matter, as is often seen. M. Delattre examined the specimens carefully to observe the painting before they came np to daylight, as the colors faded almost at once, and he found the color and gildins; to lie quite brilliant both on the figures and on the moldings of the sarcophr.gi. These specimens form an important addition ro the Carthage museum. Nigbt Sweats fr Couoii E. W. Walton, Condr. S. P.

It is impossible for any woman to understand how a man can have so much m o n e y that he doesn't know what to do with i t In cold weather some people think a cup of hot coffee good to help keep warm. So it is—for a short time but the drug—caffeine—acts on the heart to weaken the circulation and the reaction Is to cause more chilliness.

There is a growing feeling in the whole country th it the bench, wheth er federal, district, state, circuit or probate, should be as far removed from politics and political influence as possible and that the incumbent jndges, if capable and worthy, should be retained as heads of their respective courts so long as the conduct of their ccurts measure up to the established standard. In the case of no other judgeship is the idea so well adapted and so practical as that in the probate court, as was so ably argued by the Livingston Democrat four years ago. Dealing as this court does, with dependant widows and orphans the judge of probate is in many cases looked to as a personal friend and family adviser, and with over a hundred ot estates in course ot settlement, it is highly advisable that the competant judge of probate, who has the details of each estate in mind should be retained as the head of the probate court. While personally Judge Montague is an ardent and loyal republican and has always stood by the party and worked for the success of the ticket, yet he has never allowed his political views and preference to influence or in any way tj bias, his judgement on the bench, aud those politically opposed to the judge have always received fair and just treatment before him.

On account of the sulphurous suieUs Xrqm numerous hot springy and the weird electrical discuarges, visible at night between its ironstone cliffs and pinnacle*, the kloof Itself Was originally k^pwn us Satan's Iflrebox. But later when. In the war with the Maeatees, l,he Hoers were routed and one night upwards of 100 wonieti and children, hotly pursued by a regiment of Kafirs, l e g acreaftiins $t>rou£h the kloof, the name was significantly changed to Petticoat paas. But, although the pass was usually interesting;, its inhabitants were vastly more so. Between the southern gate- *9£r at pteel&oort and it* northertL outlet, near Leydenburg. a wonderfully VEt'JWrn* "no" of baboons has lived faj centuries high up among the ^roncjsjd precipice*. In course of time the white hunter came along with bis deadly rifle and occasionally picked OHe^of them off the rocks, just for the (tin of the thing, and when the Kafirs took a notion to poison them for the «*ke of their teeth, then the baboons ki, Petticoat pass, were driven to de^ fend i themselves. In a word, they began to thfow stones. So long as the wagons and ther hofaarnert kept moving. all, was well, but when th^y loi t^ed oi' stopped* the whirring of pebbles* through the air, a^d occa&ionaHy the^appearance of enormous bowlders cut loose from yjg crass above and shot down, through **lh> air like cannon baMs', never failed to i^mind the loiterciafltot the^r were trespassers.

They buitt huts' mid planted gardens QOI the ferttfc slopae near the i»ortal. With angry fi^momTtrations the baboons protested, but the Kafirs wire iridifferent to the ciamor. * Birt «*rhen the sugar canawpeaed 4be» babooas^in the-night ttmfr swooned' flown • from, jthe *«frags a ^ } h^4f^ J^emselves to what they flW5;rwb^n^lW ^ I n ^ * who thordughly underload tk%> peculiar* Met of baboon nature, played-upon them a^yillalnous t,rlck. On* day, in plain sight of their nrmirn Thn iram Tidwhlnc them fro» the aeigjits abov«L.,the Kates brodtfut a number of lar§er calabashes filled with a poisonous'illiquid and placed them in a row ia^ip&e^of tfee gardens'. Then they went through the form of pretending to wash their faces with the Vtult, after which ,they left the calabashea in the gardens and departed. Watching their opportunity, the baboons came down to investigate the business and. being unable to restrain their hereditary Impulse to imitate the proceedings nf others, they forthwith washed their faces in the poison and scampered away again. la a short time the venom began to work, the flesh fell from their faces, and finally a number of them died In great agony. For many days afterwards 'travelers through tbd \Uoof reported a^n extraordinary state of affairs. There waa much excitement and jabbering and much pitiful crying and calling to each other from cliff to cliff. But when the fcertod of mourning was over the baboons .aottted down to business —the business of war. The preparations they thade for hostilities with the Kafirs were astonishing. Baboons were summoned from far and near, and the population in the kloof was soon doubled. They divided themselves into companies under leaders. They worked like heavers, and before long huge cairns of stones appeared at intertal* along the route, and at places Where the crass rose almost, perpendicularly from the roadway Krcat bowlders were rolled to the edge of the precipices, and even ledges conducted a small store for the at commodation of* travelers. On the day the baboons were poisoned. Max was riding ihrough the kloof, and came arrows a little boy buboou, whose face was terribly burned by* the action of the acid. The little fellow was crying piteously, and Max took him up in his arms and carried him to the store, where Max'a mother, who had some knowledge of remedies, doctored him so successfully that his eyesight was saved. For several mouths her curious little patient was very shy and wild, but the good woman waa indefatigable in her efforts to tame him. and finally she waa rewarded with astonishing succeaa. As the young baboon gxew up he became ver> much attached to his benefactress, and there was no mistaking his gratitude. But one morning, to the great surprise of Mother Pincua, a young lady baboon came down from the hills and began to make love to Stoffel. Nearly a week passed before she Anally triumphed and led him away. The following morning, however, he returned, and after watching him ior a day or two, Mother Plncus concluded that considerable business waa mixed up with his !ove affair. Indeed, the Boers, who relate almost incredible but the roadway Deaeath them had been undermined, and when enormous bowlders, falling" hundreds of feet through the air, smashed through the thin crust, great pits were laid bare, j into which the Kafirs floundered, and j were then mercileaaly pelted with ! fusillades of sharp.pointed rocks Hut i thn real fighting occurred when the Kafirs, tilled with diauay at the ! carnage thai ensued in the pits, endeavored to retreat. On the following morning a very pathetic sequel to the battle occurred when Stoffel, grievously wounded; dragged himself back to his old home at the siore. It waa a painful and useless journey, for the buildings had been burned to the ground and nothing remained but the smoulderlug embers. Hut Stoffel had come home for a definite purpose. He at once began to scrape and dig among the ruina until he succeeded in finding a few rags asd a small bottle containing sum* liquWL Tenderly he ataachod the flow of blood with the rags and emptied some of the fluid into the wound. Feeljng up bettter from the application, he sought othar. rags and another bottle. His faith in the remedy was supceme. > la this way his eyes had been cured, and in many other cases he had vitnee*«d the aucceaeftri application of rags and bottles. But, growing weaker and weaker, hi* thoughts naturally turned to his kind foster-imother. Despairingly. he glanced from side to side. Many a time he had watched for her homecomiug. Then ie tucked his pitiful face under his forearm and curled himself up, just like a dog going to sleep. Looking down upon him you could have counted the almost imperceptible heart beats under tho gray, shaggy covering—one, two. three—and then Stgffe?, the hero of Petticoat pass, was dead.

Bremen, lud.-^-WUb a deuieilng crash two steers blew up in a panture near h<ete the other day, ajiil so complete was their auuihilaiiou that the only trace found of them was a tail wrapped around the limb of a tree on an adjoining: farm. Oscar Huff, the owner of the auimaltt, which were both prize wipnera at various fairs, hud been destroying stumps in a field, and carelessly left a pile of dyuamite sticks lyiug near H dilapidated fence. The steera put their hejtkds through an aperture in the fence, and ate every stick of the explosive. A few minutes later Huff returned from the field in quest of additional Reportecr That War H a ^ ' i t o k t n Out. stories about the intelligence of these colored baboons, claim that the embassy of the maiden waa merely a trick to seduce h4m from his a! leglance to hfs.benefactress and that, on hts first viait to the kloof, Stoffel was immediately appointed to the leadership of the baboon army on account of his preeminent intelligence and knowledge of the outside world. One day a horseman galloped up to the store and reported that war had broken out between the Boers and the Macatees and that the baboons in the pass were evidently aware of the fact, for swarms of them were coming down from the heights and w«Te preparing for trouble. Ten days later the Boers were defeated with considerable loss «t Johannes Kop and, encouraged by the tidings, the Mapock Kafirs flew to arm8. and rushed uj> the valley.towards Steel poor t, burning and staying. At \ their 'approach the women a*id children on the farms fled in terror, and just before nightfall- nearly 100 of these panic-stricken refugees entered the pass, with a large commando of Kafirs close at their heels. The story of the encounter that, followed between, the baboons and the Kafirs in derived, partly from the account . of the Boer women; but principally from a survey of the battlefield on the following day. A" few of the hindmost of the refugees had already been capfured when, in passing through a narrow .djeflje,, the Kafirs were assailed by a fierce rain of slide ojpwn and vaderi/' From the day when these arrangements were completed the baboons paid no attention whatever to white men, and after two or three unfor tunat.e Kafirs had been stoned to death and torn to-pieces the black race gave Petticoat pass an extremely wide br»rth. Consequently, the spider-like •watchers up in their fastnesses had a long timr to wait, but the whirligig of time hrlnRs about its opportunities for revenue, even to baboons.

Ixindon— "0 Lord, aave me!" were I he startling words that greeted the ear.s of the men who had just fired a Statffordahire iron furnace the other morning. At first they ridiculed the voice and suspected a trick. Then the cries were repeated, and when the charging door of the furnace was opened a scorched and blackened figure leaped from the rising flames out among them. At the hospital the man gave his name as Perry, and said that ho hailed from Manchester. The furnace, which is at the works ut the Midland Coal, Coke and Iron Company at Apedale, near Newcastle Under-Lyme, is adjacent to the high, way, and Perry, tramping past thought that, it would make a good lesting place for the night. The fur nace is vised for the purpose of reducing very large pieces of iron—toe large to be dealt, with in an ordinary cupola oven. It so happened that the bars in thl? particular furnace had been taken out, So P^rry crept in, and, once inside, mounted a small dam and finally reached the melting chamber proper, where he lay down and went to sleep At six the next morning the work men came, loaded the furnace with hars, and the firebox with eoal, Then they started the fire, which was well under way when they heard the cry: "O Lord, save me!" In order to «er our of the meltinp chamber Perry had to climb over the dam and •jump through tho scorching tlp.moa to the charging hole. Had he lieon Ave minutes later he would have been burned to death. T E N Y E A R l O R B A C K A C H K , T T - •v . . . . Tnouaands of Women Suffer ,in thsr Sam* W * > . Mrs. Thos.

Curious among vegetable growths and one which is,seldom seen of men is the rootlesa cactua of the California deaert, says the Teqhincal World. This plant, a'round, compact growth, rolls about the level floor of the desert'for some eight or nine months of the year, tossed hither and yon by the winds which blow with fierceness over all of California's sand plat during: those months. At the coming of the rains, or rather the cloudbursts, which sweep the desert in its springtime, this cactus takes root wherever it happens to have been dropped by the last wind of which it was the plaything and immediately begins to'put out all around it small shoots, which in turn become cacti, exactly like the parent plant. These young growths increase In size rapidly, sucking the moisture both from the parent plant and fVom the surrounding earth. The roots do not penetrate the soil deeply, but spread often over a circle whose radius is not less than ten feet. These roots, too, are small, but practically Innumerable, and they get every bit of moisture and plant food to be had in the territory they cover.

M O R A N , Pinckney, Mich. ICopyriBht. 1908. by T. C. McCluns.] Colonel Juyue of Maaaachusetta had the honor on one ocean ion of befriending aud eulertalulug Colouel Swartz of the Royal German artillery. Tnla was hi Loudon, where they w«re both strangers aud both happened to be •topping at the buuiu hotel. Tbe Geriuau colonel wua absuulted aud robbed on the street in the evening, aud for u week, or until he could send for money. Jle was the guest of the American. There was something rather queer about the incident. The two gentlemen were "'sluiumlug" when a public carriage suddeuly baited beside them and two men sprang to the ground and attacked the German, while u third •ought to bold back the American. Tbe attempt was made to force the German into the carriage, and it might have been that his money was lost during the struggle. The American fought for bis companion, uud tbe fellows were finally driven off. It looked more like a ease of attempted abduction than of a holdup, but as the Germau argued the other way the American had to be satisfied. It was five years before the two met again. This time It was on tbe German frontier, and both were bound for St Petersburg. Colonel Jayue was traveling for pleasure; the other explained that he was on a secret mission for his government lie made this explanation because he had shaved off his luxuriant whiskers and was otherwise disguised and recognition was accidental. Colonel Swartz was well acquainted in tbe capital city, and it wn arranged that the two should stop i\ the same hotel and take in the sight together. They did take adjoinln rooms on their arrival, but the Germat said that he would be busy for two or three days and left It to the other to find his way about alone. Next morning after arrival Colonel Jayne set out with Yankee Impatience to see the sights. Three times during the forenoon strangers approached him and muttered some words. They were Russians who evidently belonged to the middle class, and in each case the colonel thought they were Inquiring their way. He therefore shook his head and passed on. During the afternoon he discovered that his footsteps were being dogged, but he took this rather as a joke than otherwise. He Aid not return to his hotel until Just at dinner time and then found a couple of police officers waiting to nr*est him. They had already visited his rooms and overhauled his baggage. Colonel BwartR was missing and had been etnee noon. His baggage had also been overhauled, and the officers seemed much chagrined at the man's escape. Colonel Jayne had known absolutely nothing of the German before meeting him at the hotel in London. He had taken the man for what he claimed to be. He hnd no idea that he was an Impostor, so far as name and rank went, and that he was one of the most active nihilists in or out of Russia. The three men that had approached the American on the streets probably belonged to that order as well. The German happened to be returning to Russia at that time, and accident had discovered the two men to each other. After being under examination for half a day Colonel Jayne was sent to an official higher up. Here he was met by the papers taken from his baggage. He had made a month'sj^fitny in London before starting for Russia and had received several letters from friends at home. One of them had Jocosely written: "Don't forget that the first thing to be done on your arrival In St. Petersburg is to call on the emperor and give him my love and tell him to hang on to his Job as long as the pay comes in every Saturday night." "How can you, a person entirely unknown here, secure audience with his majesty?" was asked. "1 can't, of course," was the reply. "Then why should this person have thus written?" "He is what we call a joker." "Joker? Joker? Does he dare hold hte majesty up to ridicule* And you are to give his love to the czar of all Russia, just as one peasant woman •ends her love to another! And how js this about holding his Job? What does Job mean?" "His place, Rir." "But his majesty's {dace is the higheat in the land, and to speak of it as a 'job' is to speak with disrespect. And the pay every Saturday night, as If the great czar was bnt a common lOborerr "I shall take great pleasure in telling tbe writer of that letter what an am he Is the very first thing when I get home," replied the colonel. "And here Is another letter in v»l»Jch yoo are advised not. to make any extorsfons to Siberia in the winter ••«- BOO. People are sent to Siberia for SSrloas offenses against the law. Were yon contemplating a crime that this person should write you thus? It most be so." "I'll recommend him to tbe nearest idiot asylum," promtaed th» colonel. The examination lasted three day* I* all, during which time the was a prisoner and lived Tarn Then, accompanied hy two gendarmes, he WUB eocorted to the German frontier aud warued never to »et foot In Russia again. Colonel Bwarts got Into Germany ahead of him, and they met ugalu, but when the German extended his hand the other drew Unite! f up stildy and replied: "No. sir! No. sir! I don't know yoo, ,r.-"' M.
